i have so much brain fog right now i wanted to test DS on the ST dummy, and it took me until my cds were almost back up to realize i was still in trickster
kek
there are several classes that could get nerfed,Sub isnt one of them.If anything sub is getting another buff but my magic ball is still foggy,gimme some time
i think trickster needs something like double dipping into flawless form to become rly strong
idk how that can be achieved though

something that makes all the trickster tree x2 its effect
like flawless form makes everything do x2 the dmg
and the effects like strikes giving 50% crit rather than 25
I think nimble flurry being uncapped before blade flurry would cause a revolution
uncap both and make non-assa great again 
i think the argument is sub has actual cds
and downtime
blizz has a philosophy of making specs that have very short/no cds and smacks them with a target cap
although that's starting to shift a bit
As with most things subtlety they dont actually need to buff stuff, just fix the bugs

hmmm this is too much logic
blast
yes, also in dance
Ye its never bugged in instances content
I’m having a blast with the m+ trickster build 😮
should i give up transmitter if im doing the webs on court?
getting transmitter orbs/plates seems kinda troll
idk im doing webs on red team
oh my god i just found out something awesome about arcane S2
i'm rewatching it and just realized the opening credits shows important plot points for each character
You could always use transmitter right before he jumps, do half the task, and finish it right as he gets stopped
Like jump 2 times, stay in circle 1-2s
Orb you can catch easily
And its the only “tricky timing” , you should not use transmitter first jump of p3 anyway
And the last one is free after you do the last charge+dispells
with deathstalker you use bp as your aoe finisher when darkest night is not up
And trickster at 5+ targets

Can u shadowstep last boss Ara Kara last second and avoid that explosion? I never tried it since I was afraid to fail...but on the other hand yday I was running towards a puddle with sprint on cd meanwhile. Slow af. And that fkn Paladin came out of nowhere riding fast as lightning on his horse, stealing me that puddle. Not the first time happening, so I need a solution for that 😂
is it worth using black powder in keys while playing sub?
As DS u always BP in AOE except u have DN up, then u need to eviscerate fast no matter what. As Trickster u use BP at 5+ targets. Even in Dance.
Make sure to use ur 2nd charge of rotten for storm so u have find weakness up on all mobs
ty
people say that sub bp is degen gameplay but it feel so refreshing after assa prison in keys
for me personally after some time, assa in keys feel so ass
and this fucking auto tea do not help
Anyone can help me out on that one pls? @hazy breach @tribal blade @strange chasm
Ye same. I like it honestly
yeah you can, it's scary but doable
i do it only as last resort tho 😄
if that situation happens again just target the person who stole your puddle, then wait for the strong suck in
then step
Okay thx. Ye actually its really scary that's why I never tried it yet. Because in higher keys if I die to that, they will surely go ham on me for that 😂
what happens is the explosion is right after the final strong suck in
so once you get pulled into the boss, you can step at that point and be safe i think
i've done it before
you can but its scary as the boss pulls faster as the channel goes on
oh i wouldn't worry dude, it's so regular for people to die on that boss
even in higher keys
I mean as a last resort I will try it next time. Yday the whole group shittalked me because I died at that even tho the Paladin clearly saw that I was on my way to that puddle. It's just friendly fire at that Point imo...but ye. It is what it is
i prefer to just play it safe, and i keep cloak off cd too just in case
Thx, I needed to hear that 😂🙌
the most terrorism that happens on that fight is ranged taking puddles from melee
bitch, go stand out in africa, get outta here
when i timed it on 15 i was the only person besides the tank who didn't die on the fight
the rsham had to ankh, the lock died 2 times and the dk died once
Why does wowhead guide say to use 3 eviscerates during opener on multitarget? After the cds are popped and the Sectech is used in cds, it just rotates between shadowstrike and evis
Why not BP?
how tf can you die as a dk there?
Tbh that fight reminds me a lot of that one dungeon Season 3 DF last boss. It was always a clown fiesta too no matter how good that key went until that last boss. Cant remember the Name of the Dungeon tho
you're looking at trickster, on which you cleave evis with nimble flurry
Ah
no idea, but where there's a will there's a way 😉
There was nowhere to choose which hero talent trees opener to see
Ah. It was Dark Heart Thicket
Also doesnt say in the text anywhere, if guide writer is in here maybe that would be a good idea so scrubs like me dont get confused 🙂
the last boss of DHT became infinitely easier when we started running DB instead of dust
so we could use vanish to combat drop casts
yeah that happened a lot
that was actually the last key i timed to cement title
iirc
Nightelf DB rogue was Infinite value on that boss
that was the key that topped me over 3700
So if im playing DS, i just replace the eviscs with BPs?
you would also replace all the strikes after the 1st one with storm too
Ight, so only strike before cds and 1st global after dance popped
Into sectech, then just storm-BP-storm-BP-BP etc?
yeah
it's basically like classic sub rogue aoe, except you have to weave in evis to consume DN
Ight
Thank you good sir
Is there a specific number of mobs we wanna apply rupture to before going into cds?
the opener sequence only shows 2 casts
I believe the rule is anything you think will live for more than 12 seconds? I could be wrong
@hazy breach thanks for the help yesterday, things are flowing nicely now, really not as bad as it seemed
yes, a good rule of thumbs is to rupture everything that survives for most of the rupture duration

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If you have no other slots to craft 636 in sure
Out of all of your gear offhand is the least impactful slot
Is there a quick guide for cooldown management and timings
!guide
Wowhead
I looked but I’m looking for a use x with x seconds left and have x ready for x
Make sure you have 1 dance and less than 40s left on the second dance whenever you flag
You cant really have strict timings
Can you pin that
No. We don’t have strict timings
Okay cool
New to sub, can anyone give me the TLDR on managing symbols & dance both during burst as well as downtime? Having trouble getting 2 charges of each back for SB window. Thank you
As the cdr is based on CPs spent and the amount of cp you generate is both random and varies depending on mechanics
This isn’t assa or a send on cd spec
Yeah fair fair
Always 2x dance and sod in flag does that equal to two sec tec Also
You should have a sectech each sod
Feels good
I suppose the better question is, if you get 3 charges of SOD every 1.5m or so, and 2 charges are used in flag window, when is the 3rd charge best used? It feels like I have too much downtime while trying to get 2 charges back for the following burst window.
Somewhere inbetween with dance
You dont need 2 charges right when you flag
You need to be able to use it during your burst
Okay so as a starting point, 2 charges of each during burst (big burn), and 1 charge of each during downtime (mini burn)?
You can typically fit 2 dances inbetween on the first "rotation" and 1 dance inbetween after that, but sometimes its possible to get two
On ST
This is what I needed thank you
^
BP does like 70% evis damage, so even at 2 targets with DS its good
except with Darkest night up
Thats without momentum up
Its more like 83% or so with momentum, which should be up all the time
fair, i was ball parking, lol
Than on 3+ we only evis with DN up
i use DS in all situations at this point, even if its not 100% optimal its still well rounded enough for my taste
Wow. But only on DS right tricks is 5+
trickster is 7+
Yes, and you also need to storm with a rotten stack as trickster
Because youll be striking otherwise so no find weaknesses up
or is the BP buff that strong?

if its only 2 targets then probably not if we're looking at strictly priority target damage
evis is a lot worse than people assume
beating it at 3t is actually fucked
i mean i guess for assa ct beats envenom 2t
but its not the same scaling shit
eviscerate is just garbage i guess yea 
well is it rotation "prio" or Priority damage specifically, BP at 3t might be more overall damage but at only 3 targets is singular focus generating enough damage at that point if we ignore add damage?
would it make sense to play trickster in low pull dungeons and ds in bugg pull dungeons? or its the same
im not talking overall damage
im curious specifically about for example boss damage on ovinax or smth
i figured you werent, my statement was to clarify what we're talking about
when is a bp dealing more to the boss than an eviscerate
Yes at 3 targets the priority damage from BP is higher than if you wouldve used eviscerate
coo
Or well, its mostly neutral at 3
do we have an idea if we were to compare prio damage from singular focus to prio damage of trickster?
or would it be the same
Deathstalker does way more prio
Did even before the buffs
figured
Naw i mean even on sin singular focus is just a surprising number always
i feel like
since trickster only cleaves off the add whereas DS scales with each add
ds kinda goated if it didnt feel so shit
Trickster is pretty much singletargeting, which is still good prio
But deathstalker gains more damage
^ yep
Not as much as assa, but not that far off
watch your mouth, i play DS exclusively atm lol
dn thingy bug is miserable
oh absolutely
i suppose
other than that its like fine
managing the mark is way easier on sub than sin
just annoying bug
while its not optimal in regards to smoothness of rotaion i see it as choosing between big dam or big dam
so i just go with whatever the sitation feels best
but yeah not being able to proc any DM stacks while you have the DN buff sucks
sometimes ill be BPing not realizing
should make DN work with BP and apply DM to the target of your BP, lol
ds is just an awkward tree, on assa managing the mark sucks and on sub pressing evis feels terrible
i dont mind the eviscerate to reapply tbh
Recently went though a couple week process of trying all three rogue specs (I main Paladin but have geared him to 632 - so wanted some more complex/fast paced, etc)
I gotta say Subtley is just super fun, especially considering all the burst potential.
Didn’t enjoy Assassin (dots just not my thing) and while outlaw is conceptually fun the APM is just way too much.
Anyways, love Sub, and debating making it my main next season!
its not as annoying as the bug
yeah if you have DN up and apply a DM with a Shadowstrike you have to evis to use the DN buff or else you wont proc any DM
atleast thats the only "bug" ive noticed
welcome to the sub club
Thanks! Your guide was super helpful
One of us
When playing DS, would you say it is an optimization to cast non-flag SoD only with 1 mark left or DN up so that supercharger hits SecTech + DN empowered evisc?
Ideally you sectech->dn
after sod
Both would be empowered by supercharger and you get tier bonus on evis
Tier bonus actually works on dn correct? 
Yes i know, but sometimes you have SecTech SoD and dance ready but you're at 2 or 3 marks, and it feels like it could be better to finish once before entering dance
You want to supercharger sectech everytime, thats the most important
I believe youre correct in thinking that
For sectech I know, my question was more about should we delay a bit sod/dance to make supercharger hit both sectech and DN as long as we are not overcapping on charges
Totally agree with you! Subs hard to master but it is really fun once you get along with everything
Good news. Assa is as far away from a dot spec as it can get. 
?
I mean it's not DOTS only but if you don't manage then well you will do terrible lol
damage breakdown the dots are small yea
but everything else is really small if you dont play around the dots
so 
unlucky
There’s no multi target dot management. Just spread em by slamming them into a target and play envenom simulator
there is 
if pack lives long and u dont have vanish
but yeh not as much as sub in aoe
which is dumb..

you dont rupture the ovi adds as sub either i thought lol
You used to actually have to manage and pay attention
Sub isn’t a dot spec
lol
It’s not a dot spec. Was that not clear? It has dot damage but zero actually multi target dot management.
well no
cause we agree i just dont think you know why we agree
assa doesnt press dots for the dot damage, correct
i already said that earlier
but you do zdps if you dont top prio maintaining them
so it still has "dot spec gameplay"
Just like affliction is a fake dot spec
the bleeds have a huge focus
sub has a bigger focus on dots for the damage itself than sin does
but it still doesnt play as dotty
One day rupture will interact with subs kit in any possible way
Hopefully not
Or they just remove it
Hopefully
Im cool with either
intentional, rupture does a lot of damage on sub, more than on sin
yes but why 
i think its fine tbf im not really complaining much
some reason we have no energy for storm
im just surprised by the take that sin doesnt count as a dot spec or w.e when the entire thing falls apart instantly if u dont have good uptime 
There’s zero thinking with its dot management
but there is
Brain dead.
Hahah


stop thinking about your details breakdown for 2 seconds and think about how the spec actually plays
not wanting to play sin because of dot management in the rotation is a perfectly valid feeling
no reason to undermine the guy 4 it

It’s almost like you can just throw them out and let them expire if you actually need to reapply. So much management. All good.
the reason why rupture is allowed to do damage is the low amount of integration with other talents
rupture on sin just does too much
And by expire I mean target dies with 24 sec rupture up.
Vs worrying if it lives 12 seconds.
right except that you rupture for more than just energy as well

and rupturing an enemy that dies too fast is a damage loss even though it gives you all that energy back

Yeh 🙃
dots aren't allowed to do damage on dot specs because it creates an impossible balance situation where the class either has balanced AoE and doggy ST or balanced ST and cracked AoE when it can multidot. That's why Bliz made the dot specs use dots to generate resources instead of dealing damage
afflock and assa are the most obvious
and why spriest goes through so many iterations for its aoe
because the second it gets good, its broken
S2 DF shadow 
Almost every other tuning pass it gets they either add or subract 5% damage transfer through Psychic Link lol
They should rework Assa to be an execute spec imo
HUGE
Based.
i wanna play sub on rashanan
i just wanna play more sub in general i think, this spec is cool 
still fuck outlaw tho
I like both trees just sucks that ds is kinda jank
yea im just bad

i greed and scuff my flags
Yeh
if you can get the cd’s down its just backstab pov anyway
I need to get better at finishing the transmitter task right into sectech so fitting the second one in doesn't feel so cursed
stg I feel like I get orb 2/3 of the time
I sat on a dummy and practiced the timing for like an hour
its annoying
Just gotta get the muscle memory right
jump is awesome, get the two right away then jump right as sectech time
Yeah, that might be what I work on today
The soak one has a pretty easy timing
You stand in it and about 1-2 seconds you get it
sub out of cds feels so 
I added sound queues to fuu's WA that helps too
I just pretend im a super saiyan and im gathering energy for a spirit bomb

Is it really that bad?
Sub is the only spec I haven't tried so far.
Is it as bad as Sin rogue's single target rotation ? 😅
definitely not as slow as sin since sin is kinda perma slow
but it does go sloth mode for like, one or two finishers every once in a while
lole
Outside of cd’s all you do is press backstab and maintain rup
Get some finishers out for cdr but yeah its slow
Is the single target damage any good despite this slow rotation?
Yes very good
Sub is one of if not the burstiest st spec
All subs damage is in its cd’s though so outside of that its very slow
Super high highs and very low lows
Seems like not efficient in comparison with assa
But still thinking about switching to sub to try it out
Its just different
Well Assa feels a bit too strong imo.
The pure single target is a bit underwhelming but as soon as you add a few extra targets you'll easily do 3 to 4M DPS without CDs
Y, that is the difference as I see from what you saying
It very highs and very lows
You and ppl around you should be ready to your dmg output
You have huge burst every 1:30 and 2-3 smaller burst windows between that
Tim to grind some versa items 😄
In M+, does sub have a good priority damage like it used to have in previous expansions? That is what made we love the spec back in Legion
With deathstalker it has VERY good prio damage
Trickster even too
just depends on what playstyle you like
Actually, a good question
Sub is still tickerster?
If you hate yourself.

Based on numbers from Archon, it is trickster, but as assa im so used to DS
Trickster is easy because if you can get the st rotation down
And dmg output seems to be much lower in DS
You just repeat that in keys
Is achon filtering dot7 lots?
Very little people also play ds
There’s no one playing the spec so a few good logs will skew things as well
I really need to give sub a go then, I do not like the DS tree at all, at least when playing Assa.
Thanks for all the answers guys!
So it’s probably very skewed yeah
am i right in thinking, trickster never presses black powder?
5+ targets
on 5+ targets
You bp as trickster
guess that they havent pushed it to simc yet
They haven’t pushed apl yet
here you go
Eleem forgot
How did you manage that
really appreciate that! thank you
np
In ST with DS, we only press shuriken with literally nothing up ? wowhead only says outside of dance but pinned says outside SoD
not here to brag or anything because im old and im coping but called the deathstalker buff a month ago

Ive pushed it
Koji just hasnt approved it yet
Should be later today
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
deathstalker is fairly the same as sin in Dslice and wins in ST

holymoly
sub stonks
Trickster is better
Been doing both in keys and I think personally trickster is still probably better than DS
The Cdr feels better

i tend to believe that trickster is still better in dslice coz its prolly smoother
but i cba coup
i dont like it so im going deathstalker
but my keys are basicly weekly babykeys
10-11s so im not a fair point rly
is there a reason to not macro shadowblades into flag?
ooo ok I see now
I glossed over the opener part on wowhead and just
saw this
reading comprehension
brr
can you explain to me why, im a bit of a noob
is it just stricly this talent
but i guess if you press bp you are also killing the funnel
pretty sure he means the numbers on the spells themselves are tuned strangely close
even single target
not like a talent thing

ds just makes it worse 
you arent tho
singular focus
goes crazy

DS has better prio than trickster
so yeah
A bit, but BP does almost as much as evis
By itself on pure ST
i see
When BP is doing 80% of eviscerates 
just a buff away from being used on single target
how many targets should I get to before switching from gb/bs/ss to shuriken storm/tornado
Just don’t like at Fatal Intent damage 
!wa
i miss STM legion Spriest
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Afternoon all, just a quick question. Are sub rogues using stones, or poisons for pve?
nw
Stiletto is trash right?
I think I remember every rogue spec saying it was bad and to avoid it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't some strange thing where somehow it is decent or good for sub
yea stiletto is very bad
Alright haha I thought so
its not good
but embellishments are overall fairly weak
raid ds drops gloomblade for imp storm on add bosses ya?
and rs *

do u have to play rs 
do i shadowstrike at 5cp?
only if you are trickster and in dance
is there an encounter that this is actually good on btw?
pretty sure you just play st every fight
cuz every fight with ads they die in 2 seconds
isnt gloomblade kinda piss
If theres more than 1 target you absolutely need imp storm
thats what i thought
Theyre absolutely dogshit
ya
Theyre just better than imp storm that does nothing on pure ST
Gloomblade is like a 1% talent
SF is like 0.1-0.2%
But like if theres ever 2 target and you can get a bp with fw up
Its gonna be more damage than the glooms
ah yea
bp nerfs made it like 80% of an evis right
- singular focus
err
bp buffs *
ah and imp is good with ctw
ic
enables momentum
I mean it doesnt really matter
Its mostly gloom and SF being very bad
So you'd drop them first chance
that's like only silken court though right
What
ig it doesnt matter
you could do it on broodtwister
it's negligible
is bp more funnel
with singular focus
Yes
ic ic
is imp all of your aoe
Well it buffs your BP by like 50%
that is true
surely like brood ulgrax ovinax court 
ya
dont think queen adds live long enuf
i'm just information gapped
depends how bad gloom rly is
easiest way to get information is to type incorrect things into the chat
this talent is broken basically
and 7cp black powder is almost == 5cp evis
so 7cp black powder 2tar is == 10cp evis
so it's gucci
but that's only true if all targets have find weakness
so imp value v good
esp because you can guarantee fw w/ the rotten
(of which you want to do with the 2nd stack because shuriken storm eats 2 stacks)
have people been enjoying deathstalker in m+ btw?
What's the benefit of doing shadow blades after secret technique in the opener for single target? Does it matter if I just blow them all together like the multi target?
You already get full CP anyway with premed from your previous strike
So you dont need to press blades until you need to build again
Because blades doesnt work on sectech clones anyway
^
you guys might want to possibly put this in the pins, it's asked in here so much
why is that necessary
To save you guys the hassle of having to answer it a bunch of times each day
then it just becomes something else they ask about
people are gonna find out sectech doesent work with blades
and now they are gonna ask it in reverse
Should see all the other shit that doesn't work with sub 
Thanks! So why is multi target not the same? (shadow blades after sectech)
i'm playing DS in heroic alt raid, and i have to say i'm having a blast
i feel dirty
doing big dam = fun
good gameplay can only carry so far
if there aint results behind it
you are gonna get burned out
Cool thanks 😀 . One other thing I don't understand is why not delay sectech until after an eviserate (swap sectech with first eviserate) with danse macabre?
you dont do that to fit 2 sectech into Transmitter
so you need to instantly Sectech
only matters for transmitter cds
Aweseme, thank you.
rules of sectech change in a few different ways
first it depends on what hero talent you are playing
second it depends on if its a big cds go or not
trickster has alot more nuance to its sectech use since it used to get Coup de grace stacks
where as DS is alot more straightforward
Technically sectech does more than an evis yes but if it ever screws up your timings its not worth it
And its significantly less damage than as trickster since you dont get 2 unseen blades
Now I usually want sectech and DN evis to align the two supercharges, is this right?
Ye
ty , very uncomfortable after switching from trickster to DS.

How big if i tracked the MoD buff to cast bp in ST? or is it not worth it?
BP doesn't do enough in pure ST to beat evis
Hey all, I am failing hard in these 12 keys keeping up with damage. I am constantly feeling like I am behind the curve especially now that I upgraded my gear. I am still running trickster. Should I be switching to DS. Siege of Boralus is my biggest culprit, I barely drop a mill dps compared to my like 1.4-1.7 overall in other dungeons. I can't seem to keep my damage up in this dungeon at all.
there are so many factors that can kill ur dps
havent tried sub in sob yet but as sin im 1.4-1.5mil territory
and that is if the tank doesnt 3mob chainpull
Nothing in particular should make siege a low overall dungeon, sounds like you might be holding your cooldowns too much
Or just not doing your cooldown window correctly, those are prob the most common
its just so odd considering any other dungeon I don't have that issue. I don't particularly think I am holding CDs unless it is a smol pull before something big coming up/ boss.
uptime is the only thing i can think of,like u press ur cds and not actually spend time hitting stuff while at it
try not holding your cds at all unless the pack is almost dead
sub rogue does so much damage in cds
also if you're doing 12s don't spread as much ruptures
before going into cds
I will continue to feel it out but man this feels odd. Specifically that dungeon.
study it fam
Definitely will take that with me too, I might be spreading too many prior to starting my dmg
open a dungeon guide check it out,pull after pull
check how much dmg the other dps are doing to the gutters
those small shitter mobs that die fast
it inflates dps by quite a bit if you're able to pad on them
But for example if you have flag and blades on the pack before the second boss, you should probably just send it instead of holding for the boss
it's pretty hard to sit on cds as sub
Sure your boss dps will be lower, but rawdogging that pull without flag for 60s is gonna be horrid
it's not like sin where you can hold cds and still blast packs
I recorded my mist 16 but i had some scuffed settings so the quality is not good at all (and I played poorly
)
Ive been mostly stuck trying to time grimbas now which is assa territory
np,pass on the tech my man,i was engaged in the past,this is nothing
Maybe i just go sicko mode and try some sub in grimba anyway despite Iron wire being broken
i'm not pushing for the rest of the season, don't feel like it anymore 😉
plus it's really dead on NA side
yup its redeeming
i would keep going if i had a team
Idk i havent really found pugging to be that bad
Up until recently when the issue is that the keys i need just dont exist in the group finder
Or atleast theyre very rare
Feel like EU, there's a lot more interest in pushes than NA?
Yeah alot more ppl gaming in EU,bigger market as well
It is also a holiday weekend atm
although it is the holiday weekend right now
YEP
not logged atm but there should be like 5-8 groups in EU in that range most of the times
!up
new to sub is it normal to be completely energy starved outside of cds in keys? it feels terrible i have to be doing somethinbg wrong
!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".
Could definitely be doing something wrong, but it should be very starved outside cds
if you're not used to it it feels like complete ass
just gotta take a deep breath and accept your fate
(and try to make sure you get into keys with a shammy 😉
you do get used to it
just put some music on blast and outside cds just move your head side to side
Hell yeah
so is BP now worth spamming in keys and go deathstalker? or whats the talents this time around
you can go deathstalker yes
but it is close to trickster anyway
just play what you enjoy more
BP worth actually pressing now? or still pretty dog shit damage?
BP has now received in total 55% damage increase since the start of TWW
so it's very good to press now 😉
ok kool, i was still playing as if i shouldnt, is it 3+? i use
i was watching kush use on 2+ targets, but i think he was testing
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
you use bp on 2 as deathstalker
as trickster at 4 it is worth with fw and to get DM once and at 5+ always if FW is up
would it make sense for them to redistribute our damage? like take some away from other sources and buff evis
i don't think its needed, if they want to buff aoe they can do something like a per target scaling on BP
So all three specs use a st finisher all the time. 
We were there for a month
it is by design
thats why its weird that blade flurry on sin was designed diffrently
it got more or less the "best" bf
my hope is we see more good sub changes before the next tier
or going into next tier
i think sub is fun, so lets hope so
is there an WA that tells whether if that person is ready for dispel or not on court
the big season 2 questions will be:
- Is there a strong 90 sec trinket?
- Is the new tier set bonus good?
- Will Raid design continue how it is currently?
- Current Design: 120 sec intervals on earlier fights, 90 sec intervals on last 2-3.
theres a macro with the liquid pack
Super curious about the S2 tier set and what it'll be. Also, most importantly: is it gonna look good
I was hesitant at first but it really is a fun iteration of the spec, especially trickster
Just could use some polishing and bug fixing
Something something cdr / dance
They could do some really funny stuff with goblin theme'd set bonuses
i dunno what sub gets themed taht way
Goblin shadow ninjas
I'm more curious what it'll visually look like at this point than the set bonus, but I am an outfit fiend.
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Not a big fan of goblin themed sets tbh
i really like tmog too, but if we have to play an entire tier with a dogshit tier set bonus i'll cry
truth
Dog shit trinket will be worse Imo
Imagine no 90 and transmitter getting nerfed with new tier.

yeah it'll be interesting to see what happens if we don't get a 90 second trinket
if it becomes the cursed 2 min trink play that'll be horrible
Cause it's not eviscerate (it is)
Bruh
Real question is, do we see any bug fixes in s2?
Rs has been bugged for 1 year now ain't no fixes coming
It's gonna be fixed and we're going to get poison toggle.
It's gonna happen. I can feel it.
i wouldn't mind if poisons lasted longer
Unironically think it doesnt matter, play what you prefer
play what you are comfortable with, beeing comfortable is a big bonus
The only fights where theres a clear "best spec" right now is ovinax and rashanan for assa, besides those 2 you can find all 3 specs in top logs
I feel comfi playing both, but my idea was: Assa does more dmg overall, but sub is better on fights where you have to spend your cds on exact timings
And i thought court was exactly like that
I guess im doing something worng with my sub rotations then..
My sub logs are miserable
Do you guys in general save flag/blades only for bigger packs? I.e. save up on cds when the last remains of the pack are dying or during a fight with like 2 mobs with a bigger pack ahead
We do so little damage outside cds
So its typically just send them on cooldown
(as long as theyre not wasted, aka you have something to hit throughout the entire cooldown)
But you gotta make sure you always have enough dance+symbols charges to get 2 of each in blades+flag
For which the rule of thumb is to have atleast roughly 40s left on your second charge when you press flag
during heroic alt raid today the prot pally in my guild asked in discord "i'm playing lightsmith, who wants to get my buff" and then he proceeded to say he was gonna give it to the arcane mage in my guild because "i know nobody will be able to beat his burst on pull"
i didn't say anything because doing a lot of damage means so much to this mage, he really loves topping meters, so i didn't want to be that guy to burst his bubble

so clueless lol
and then during the opener on every pull i was on top heehee
i love the guy, so i really didn't want to take away what he had going for himself
but sub rogue do be sub rogue in cds
So thoughtful, haha. That's pretty sweet not to burst his ubble.
oh man he really takes it to heart, like whenever we have a prog kill on a hard boss and he doesn't get a good parse he's always pretty down right after the kill
and when we kill a hard prog boss and he has a great parse he's ECSTATIC afterwards
i used to kind of be the same way, but i don't really give a shit anymore
a kill is a kill
Haha, that's adorable. But yeah that's my feeling. Parses are for farm. Kill is a kill and nothing else matters if you get the kill.
If you lived the whole fight and it was your first kill, that's a goddamn win
Yeah being alive on a first kill is a better feeling than a good parse for me
yeah i thought i was doing that but somehow my dmg is just really sad to watch
Is DS the play in M+ or is trickster still a bit better ?
Don't worry, every parse will be better than my ulgrax parse
I'm here making sure every Sub is getting a better parse on that boss.
No I think mine is lower hang on.

There are 1,284 parses and I am parse 1280.
I'm really proud of how stupid this is.
idk, i have fine parse on sikran but i struggle to do any better on other bosses
maybe im just terrible at allocating cds cuz i only practiced on training dummies based on wowhead guide
It's a lotta practice and I feel like it's gonna be different depending on your kill times too.
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Bugs - Subtlety Rogue
Numerically DS is better I think but only by a small margin, and I think it depends a bit on the Dungeon
But both are playable
Personally I Like trickster more because i feel Like its Playstyle is way smoother, but I am certain there are people who like the DS playstyle more
So to conclude this, play what suits your style better
Hello! Kinda a stupid question but I was wondering if anything changed on raidbots/to the APL for sub the past few days? I am simming considerably lower then I was on weds/thursday and I just want to make sure I haven't done something wrong 
the biggest what if is the trinket section imo
some fights are always somewhat in cd favor or have burst heavy phases
(tier sets i set my bar low, so I hopefully get surprised like this tier)
Simulation updates
If your sim is lower today, thats because simulationcraft now implements some in game bugs.
The apl should be up to date now too, so there is no need to use a custom apl anymore if you used one.
You can find the changelog of the sim > here <
What bugs?
- Shadowcraft appears to trigger the Energy resource energize twice from Shadow Techniques
- Darkest Night buff prevents consuming stacks of Deathstalker's Mark at 3 or below
Note: Simulations in !fuu/ !sheet are up to date.
This is a really funny thing out of context.
haha ye
i guess thats fine
Yo guys, so I have a question about the finerys.
I didnt do a normal or heroic raid lst week and progressed queen on myhtic so didnt kill any bosses so did ofcourse not get any finerys last week.
I did heroic last night and got 12, and then I did some normal bosses but nothing dropped, I dont have any alts, does this mean I cant get more finerys this week?
Rookie stats, you gotta pump those numbers down
I don't know about that finery question. I have a couple of alts so I'm just overflowing with the damn things
sry what does this mean?
Shadowcraft appears to trigger the Energy resource energize twice from Shadow Techniques
!fuu

Can try LFR, or have a rat alt clear basically
Its a little sketchy if you miss a week ngl
Yes, Shadowcraft essentially doubles your Shadow Techniques when they proc. Its why you're almost never out pf energy during SoD
You can only kill 8 bosses account wide. Some people are able to do more (unintentionally) on alts. Best bet is to level an alt to 80. Run lfr and collect 4-6 finery per boss via catch-up mechanic before you kill anything on main that week.
Man I just got a veteran transmitter that of course sims 5% higer than 626 trinkets lol. But man using transmitter at the start of a very small burst window feels AWFUL
Me and my besties, transmitter and a double dance burst window, having a cute picnic 
u give up shuriken tornado for VT but if u want TFD u give up WM?
you always use tfd in m+
the only change likely is just tornado for vt
if you dont like tornado
WM is meme, TFD is bangin
Some folks don’t like picnics I guess. 
oh the logo changed
Chrimas time
what flask we using in raids btw?
Alchemical typically
ty
i like alchemical cause tempered pot will give all 4 stats
does it? or active stat?
all 4
you can high roll 7k mastery is you're lucky to get mastery stat with tempered potion rolling
Tempered pot gives all the stats you dont have a tempered flask for. So if you have vers flask you only get mast+crit+haste whereas alchemical isnt considered a tempered flask so it will give you all 4
^
perfect, thank you
that makes sense in my head now, im just really aloof about things that arent rotation
does anyone have that SoD macro to not spam press, I keep forgetting to make it
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
Thanks!
they will bandage it up with season 2 tier set
dont worry we can keep being forgotten
after the DS buffs
now im scared
Its gonna be dance getting procced/extended with blades or flag
if we get denial it will be so silly
I would like denial ngl
same delet rotten
just cos the durations of flag and sb don't align
put denial there
or make goremaw have same effect of supercharger
copy paste
ez
CTRL C
CTRL V

Need more profile pictures with poorly photoshopped santa hats smh
send me the pict
I'm on mobile at the bar watching the Texans game but you'll see my poorly photoshopped Santa hat variant afterwards
today^^ its a santa hat
I like it. Very festive
@alpine wraith I was snooping around your videos to help me understand some things better (thanks for that) But if you don't mind me asking what is the addon for those dps numbers with icons?
which one the one that shows the number on nameplates or smth else
The icon of the spell used with the overall damage instead of flooding your screen with damage numbers.
nameplatesct i think then
not hacha but i assume its https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/nameplate-scrolling-combat-text
Yeah that looks like the one, thanks guys.
yeah only cos coup is so much extra cp
Welcome. It came out nice. Wasn’t sure if the snow would show up.
yea it looks cool
RS says hold my eggnog
RS is like one of those bullies now
that is hitting you every day or two
and the teachers just tell IT IS JUST A KID PROBLEM
so you have to take it
does that mean we are playing trickster?
regarding this
does not change anything
ST is still deathstalker
for m+/aoe both are kinda close unless you do super pulls
then deathstalker is a bit ahead
sadge
yes?
it is an old bug just was not implemented because we were silly thinking it was oing to get fixed
like they did before
Difference between Hero Talents:
Single target: 8% -> 3%
Dungeon Slice: 3% -> 4%
is the change in sim
so trickster is a lot closer now
but they decided fuck sub
Am i just bad or is sin way better than sub in keys?
Loving sub again. Not even sure why maybe nostalgia.
not way better but enough if you are not min maxing sub
sin is better but both are pretty good honestly
and even then it has cooler things
Im bad then lol
The thing is. When you learn sub that’s when you learn rogue.
You don’t even play rogue with the other two specs
eh?
It’s a meme
really good one
Used to be true years ago
