we have the olive trees here,we were almost 2 months late in harvesting..
idk
i think climate change n stuff alters everything
Interesting
Yea
Where I teach one of the sheep just had a lamb. Like wtf is that timing
Nature all off
Picking a laner who is less likely to lose is diffrent from picking a counter ^^
Is it related to global worming or just weird timing?
this is what im trying to do most of the times in my lane.See if i can win the trades,all in or call for a gank and dive
ive won a lane vs LB twice
which is a first for me as lisandra
i think she's very very good
Idk who would be a zed counter then tbh. Champs really safe in lane and hard to bully unless he fucks up. It had bad matchups but like idk what a counter does here then
good question, i guess a champion who can keep him in lane easy without risking to die
Hmm, idk if I like that definition, a lot of control mages can push him under his tower early, and if zed leta them full push, they can then bully him under tower
But then they’re easy to gank, so it’s not really that easy
Also the matchups usually get a lot harder once zed has R. Liss and malachite don’t really need to worry about post 6 matchup as much which is why I suggested them
Buf like, none of them can keep zed in lane, he can just roam.
Then in that case, best champ would be trynd, who doesn’t mind if zed roams and wins pre 6
zed is scary if you let him roam, having him bound to the lane is kinda of countering this
Then it’s just trynd, cuz like what are you gonna do to stop
Him? He can just sack a wave and dive bot with jungler
Least trynd takes towers and can match him in sides later
Bot lane is cursed
a clusterf@ck of sht happening
ur jungler,their jungler,both midlaners,tps,support leaving the lane etc
If weaponmaster procs, does it consume both charges of rotten?
one way to solve, play it yourself
ive adopted the opposite,leave jungle and bot lane.Too much variables that regulate how it plays out that could ruin my lane as well
ild rather take less risk
top or mid is the go for me
I’m guessing the warming / human impact def having something to do with all of it. We’re (fortunate enough?) used to having 4 seasons. Their timings have gotten way more odd over the last 10 years.
i'm sitting here in hong kong with my AC on cool and a tshirt on lol
but that's not unusual for winter here
in sub tropical climate
uff
haha yeah, i've seen people come over here from other countries
and they legitimately die in the heat
Greece isnt that far away from that,today clouds vanished though,we got 15C
like in the morning it was so cold,once the sun was up u start sweating lol
its a thing here as well,thats why im packing up for the north cba with heat
How far N?
SHEEEESH that's some heat
although just heat without humidity isn't that bad
high humidity makes the heat intolerable
oh ok that's pretty bad
yeah that's weather that'll kill you for sure
50 degrees at 90% humidity
that's insane
who in the hell decides to go hiking in that
idk every summer in the news you have some people every week
it is like boomkin players
LOL
El grande calor
I really thought you guys were exaggerating a little when you complained about DS feeling bad
It feels almost comically bad compared to trickster 😦
I understand the 10% cooldown reduction from trickster missing
But where is the rest coming from? Lack of Coup?
Yeah, the first set between cds is really awkward as DS
yea cdr mostly
Yes
deathstalker is just damage damage damage
I would like cb on 30sec cd
Every change DS got was just more dmg shoved somewhere but what it needs is gameplay qol changes
Tbf deathstalker isn't as bad sub as for assa.
Assa you drop DM its over
Imo big cds like blades or for assa deathmark should trigger the capstone. And then buff the capstone to high heaven
You would actually feel the impact. Like for all it's downfalls you feel coups cdr and animation
That's true, but I feel like the DS gameplay itself feels worse on Sub
The only really annoying part of DS on Assa is managing rupture, at least for me
Bosses disappear your mark is gone
Yeah you can game it still super annoying
Yeah, I agree with that point (hence my first line)
Quick, get DN before boss despawns for p2
risking it all on Court to get DN
You coup roughly 3 times a minute, which is 15 extra cps spent for dance cdr
So you dont need to rawdog symbols as often
And you dont end up needing to delay your sectech because of darkest night either
The 90 second burst window also feels considerably worse
never manage to squeeze my 2nd sectech into my transmitter
Getting two sectechs in transmitter is a lot tighter ye
Came back to WoW in TWW and started with Sin
I try out Sub, it feels great on Trickster
Now I am in shambles
😄
Thats why we were sad about the 6% deathstalker buffs in november 
Who knows, its still the least played spec in m+ so maybe we get some more buffs for it 
(sub that is)
Trickster sub is so fluid, bugfixes and if we could see hidden blade then it would be even more perfect
But blizzard probably just gonna hold of on buffs until next patch
It's misery with every gcd
Everything wants to interrupt you, storm in st, DN to delay sectec
Target locked to mark
I've decided that the 3,2% ST dps increase (with my current gear) isn't worth it
if 11.1 really forces us into DS, I might have to go back to sin
fun-wise it's trickster sub > DS sin > DS sub for me
lets rather not buff it more ^^
I feel like they could just move the shadow-damage increase on the 4-set to a generic damage increase and reduce the amount
Probably less "theme-y", but what kind of theme does a percentage shadow damage increase follow anyways
Im not playing ds in keys unless someone threatens me with gun
they would need something more than a gun for me
DS in keys didn't feel that bad to me. Only a bit annoying to DN instead of powder
Fatebound assassin is funnest, n also highest dps
trickster sub > assass
Fatebound sub...
not really, depends whether fight ends on 1.5 minute moduleo+ T window or 2 minute modulo + T window
in terms of fun
not "what is the best"
because blizzard decided to make one spec the very dominant one in tuning this xpac and it wasn't sub ^^
i want blizzard to remove the 30 seconds shadow / nature damage buff after cd expires, let's see who plays deathstalker then, that talent alone is so noob friendly
North Greece(Kozani) but my place is in Thessaloniki.Currently working in Chalkidiki
no space to define the presupposition
aka absurdity as our math nerds say
100%
3x NV 1x tfd 1x symbols 1x whatever 😄
you had to nightblade before every dance window 😄
They removed the best thing for Subtlety back in BFA tbh
it was shuriken combo
imagine if we had it now
goddam
its all because of "Zul" Fight
they were stacking 10+ subtlety rogue for that boss
we did that with like 4 or 5 but ye sub got nuked after zul
why not both
mfk@rs made sure it wouldnt see the day for the rest of bfa
how does sub opener on ansurek work if you want to hold vainsh for 1st root break
My wife’s side family came over from Norway.
Anyone can point me to a decent Gloomblade/Dark Brew shadow dmg build? Doesn't have to be optimal, just viable.
Sadge
sadge
why would I invite a rogue?
The thing they dont understand i do same rio with D tier spec with pugs 😄
big feral main
S tier in M+
?
there is no fucking way
sub is S tier in M+
im 20+ years more than playing rogue
brother
i can play all 3 specs on high level
I equate trying to pug 15s to like trying to pug mythic ovi. Find a team.
i can tell you sub is not S tier
or reroll to meta
Your prio is basically in cds only. Assa does it better
the joke is the tier list just uses the initial of the specs
Your one S tier is boss dmg
xD
Everything else is mid except survivability.


sepsis is also S tier
they’re fucked with trinkets in s2 as well
surv has to disgustingly gap all other specs to be beta
same as UH super pad profile
BRRRRRRRRRR DMG instances
the non dks players crashed?
yea
as a dk you already know you need a 78003XD and a 4090
turn off nameplates. 👏 👏 👏
you know
same as when denathrius had that thing with shaman totem
it just destroys the pipeline of broadcasting events
for everyone unless they have good HW
Idk we had UH. Had no issue
skipping some frames only at last set of eggs with lust
yea 1 is no problem but 2
and warriors etc
when parasites spawned i had no problems of course
but others got snaked
on god my life for battle shout. We prog killed princess no monk no warrior.
almost brought my 619 in just for rally and shout. Hahaha

kekw heroic transmitter in Warrior's vault
I got transmitter on all of my alts
but non for rogue 
here is 1 log (xd)
its still w/e in a fight over 10min small "mistakes" like this wont matter.
Norway has the best women universe(ild say multiverse but ive got no scientific evidence to back it up)
LOL i posted that on my guild discord with no context and it was deff the play
haha its a classic i made a while ago, i also made one for classes and hero talents
the other 2 ^^
Okay this might be a very stupid question but why is it sometimes my finishers either generate combo points or don't consume combo points?
I'm not sure which it is but I press a finisher and I still have max combo points lmao
They've got it in the opener as well and I might just be entirely missing something but
shadowcraft

happy new year pog
Happy sub year
Happy new year everyone! Let's hope for some bugfixes in 2025
Happy new year!

Dwarf?
happy new year everyone❤️
Happy new year!
You understand game design is bad when you see Envenom does more damage than Evis
I wish I had this much free time to waste. 
when is server shutdown for EU
happy new year everyone. can anyone provide a working macro so i dont accidentally cast symbols twice? i know i saw it somewhere before and now cant find it'
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns.
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.
!symbols
How to Use Symbols of Death:
Symbols of Death is used with 3 or less seconds of the Symbols of Death buff remaining or if the buff is not up.
Watch your Shadow Dance cooldown before using Symbols of Death. If Shadow Dance is not on cooldown or if the remaining cooldown is lower than 10 seconds it is usually better to delay the Symbols of Death cast till after Shadow Dance.
well, that was my 2 attempts
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
thank you!
its the thought that counts babycrow xD . and wait im not sure i understand that. why would you cast symbols after shadow dance
i don't have a 639 cloak yet, been using cloak as a embel slot
do i take 639 cloak, or socket
cata the cloak
depends how you see it, crit/haste is a pretty garbage stat distribution on a piece for sub
you gain minimal defensiveness for it
The defensive proc is vastly overrated
Its fine, but not something worth using bad stats for
if it had a shorter ICD it could be worth using
i just took a socket btw, i don't really need a 639 cloak
why would you ply spyglass
if crit is whatever stat for sub
btw in aoe you do Shruiken Storm every 2nd rotten stack right?
for example you do like symbols dance cb sec tech than another storm to spread FW right?
coz it crits 100%
yea, u strike first one then storm 2nd (otherwise storm eats both rotten stacks)
Crit isn’t whatever
trick likes it more than ds. Just mast/vers better. That trinket has a lot mainstat
Its just haste thats w/e aint it, and then you can kinda just yolo with anything else it dont matter no? least thats what the meme graph that always gets posted says
Happy pre new year subtlety bros! To the few that play the coolest spec of the coolest class in the game! 🍻
We may be small in number, but we hate big in heart!(and skill)
In general people vastly overestimate how much your stat distribution matters
Even on a spec like sub
happy sub year chat
I stack haste
i'm gonna spend 10k gold regemming all my gear for 0.1% gain and you can't stop me
more like 5k
shit's plummetted
true!
i forgot we're also wearing the new ring
so that's 2 sockets down
that could change what ring enchants you want tho, better sim and change those too
already swapped everything to mast
what if the sim wants verse
i already got a ton of vers on my gear
Get haste
you only get this from weekly quesst right? i[Wayward Vrykul's Lantern] i mean the champion version
I gem and enchant only vers so i can oneshot old questmobs with shadowstrike 
yea the lantern at champion is only weekly
but we will have like almost 1 month and a half at least to get it so JUST HIT
On EU its actually getting better,stuff on the rise again.Its impactful to farm again and craft stuff
Delve material farming has been shadow-nerfed a bit
yea im beginning to stockpile for next raid
this one is wrong kinda
haste and crit both arn't that good on subtlety, so you lose damage by having gear with either
(especially if its multiple pieces)
the meme is true tho on assassination, item level is most of the time the driving factor on it
where the fuck is the new weekly quest for ring ilvl?
It's locked behind doing the "fill a bar" thing, apperently.
bruh
classic blizzard design, happy new year^^
It was just active for EU yesterday, since it hadn't reset yet. Which was funny. But I saw a few people (rightfully) complaining about it not being around until they did the fill a bar thing.
i was wondering too
My first vault of 2025 is absolutely dire.
on the pro side of things, it can just get better from here ^^
Hell yeah, I like that way of thinking.
aite done with that shit
Also it's bugged was yesterday available for eu and I did it again today after reset
Got 2 upgrades
Bro this whole timegating power behind this is so outdated
Idm gating charges etc
It's done so slapdash. It going live with US reset in EU, etc.
Yup its some kinda omega nonsense
But hey I have now a 652 ring gotta worry not getting banned here doing my weekly farm raid 🤣
Imo they should just remove the timegating
Yeah.
It's already messed up with people using faction swaps and other means anyway. Horse has bolted. Just let people max it out.
That's also bad. Idk you have a sale after the radials got update and people will ofc change faction and unintentionally bug the game.
Ofc people abusing it having itemlevel 1000 ring yes but normal people have now 3+ itemlevel more on the ring
It’s 2 fill the bar things.

I got suckered into running around with the mech suit
Haha
it was glorious
slow down, its new year you don't want to start your first day of the year nuking a robot
I dunno, that sounds pretty fun to me. Year of the cool robot
I’m a sucker for islands. I legit just did everything and figured the upgrade was there someplace. 🏝️
I like the zen-like routine of doing the daily content.
Is there any engi tinker worth using DPS-wise? We apparently can still use DF ones so shadowflame rockets would pack some punch at least
Stat-wise engi bracers are slightly pulling ahead (for me) LW ones, so I'm in the position I could pick a tinker
nothing else gives me the feeling of soulless "user retention data" as the island
Honestly based on previous small island metas, Siren Isle is rather generous
And the currency is pretty easily farmed.
I'm down for anything that gives copious transmog
those are the only two that have, likely a bug sadly it won't be fixed til next week
Aha, mystery solved.
Thanks. I thought I was going mad since I was certain none of the others did haha
It's not up for me, weirdly. Wonder if they quickly hotfixed it.
I did it nearly right after reset
like 5ish hours ago
idk maybe they fixed it or something overlapped. I have now chars with 649 and 652
I am thinking about writing a ticket
cause i dont want a ban
No chance they ban for that when it's completely their fault, imo. You just did the quest. But a ticket wouldn't hurt I guess.
Nice I did the pre-reset quest time for some free ilvl that I won’t use
i'm reading the ToP changes
they're legit making the entire dungeon harder overall
if i'm not mistaken
which is wild
Rek the Hardened changes: Fuck Melee. - Sincerely, Blizz xoxo
Yeah, lol
just from read the nerfs vs buffs, the nerfs aren't super impactful
Is the egg still "simbait" or are the assumed stats realistic during a boss encounter?
this was the biggest nerf i saw, these mobs were so difficult
iirc our TCs set it up so it's realistic
so it doesn't assume perfect conditions
i don't know the specifics though
It’s not some bait. Can open up the report and look at the buff / thresholds which are very reasonable.
i still wouldn't bother using it though, it's just more mental bandwidth
on top of certain fights that don't allow for you to randomly move too much
@lilac stag have you guys started court yet
Looks like 20/10 (mainstat/secondary)
do we not get a ilvl upgrade on the ring this week?
last week the ring upgrade was available w/o doing anything else, this week it was gated behind other objectives
consistency 😉
Thursday.
still debating on sub/assa route. I think cdr with webs gonna be sketch
depending who is available I think we may reclear for vaults.
our makeup day for Tuesday is Monday and that is kinda sketch for a lot.
with where we are prog wise it’s min/max time. cdr just looks very tight to max out while being on webs
hey,
started playing sub
i have a question regarding the multi target rotation (wowhead guide)
mainly it's around the talent Nimble Flurry (as Trickster)
so how the cleave from having flawless form impacts the aoe roration
and basicly my surprise comes from the fact that it seems to almost not impact it at all, or i'm just reading the guide wrong
it would seem that the intention of the blizzard designers behind the nimble flurry talent is to make you want to use the affected abilities in aoe while flawless form is active, instead of the classic aoe abilities: use shadowstrike/backstack as builder and evicerate as spender, instead of shuriken storm as builder and black powder as spender.
Same idea as a fury warrior, or a MM hunter, who will prefer using their single target abilities than their aoe abilities to do dmg in multi target as long as they have a specific buff that makes their single abilities cleave.
but apparently no
there's no lines that for example would say: use shadowstrike if flawless form is active, and, use shuriken storm if it's not
it's actually the opposite, and I don't understand how it can be the case, the guide says to use shuriken storm if flawless form is up, and if not to use shadowstrike, while flawless form do not boost the damage of shuriken storm (afaik)
thanks in advance for any help
only shadowstrike/backstab and secret technique proc flawless form
Are you reading Wowhead/Icyveins?
Both guides aren’t saying to use Shuriken Storm with Flawless Form.
Strike. Sectech. Storm, BP, Strike / Finisher
Yeah you would cleave damage with backstab
But backstab doesnt do damage
So cleaving it is far less important than getting combo points from storm
Ah that part.
But thats probably negligible now that BP got so buffed tbh, havent checked
!wa
I saw it here (image below), but ok I think I understand
the idea is not that you want to use SS because FF is up (as if FF was buffing SS or something)
the idea is, with enough targets, pressing SS is better than pressing BS, even if BS cleaves cause what matter is CP generation and SS generates more than BS (a cleaving BS or not)
but you will press SS only if FF is up cause if FF is not up, then priority number 1 becomes actually getting it back up (through BS) instead of focusing on CP generation
is this correct?
in that case, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that, on 3+ targets, you prioritise pressing SS over FF not just when FF is up, but also while you are in the window during which unseen strike's ICD is not over yet and pressing BS will not give you FF?
thanks
If theres ever more than one target you dont backstab
The combo points are worth more
Again, technically you could backstab to proc flawless when its down, but its kinda whatever
You strike regardless of target count though
Because strike actually does damage
also coup gives a lot of stacks
ok so even if FF not up, at 2+ targets, the GCD it costs to cast BS to get it back up is not worth it (in the case where you don't have any other option to get FF up)
Nimbre Flurry would need to be way better to make you care enough about FF in AoE that you would be ok getting it back up though BS if BS is your only option I suppose
Is the Algari Alchemist Stone simming correctly? I have tried it versus all of the Heroic Trinkets and it is simmer higher than all except the Transmitter.
WoWHead has it ranked as D Tier.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
well if its barely beating heroic trinkets while being +10 ilvl what tier would you put it at
You completely missed my question. Why did you bother responding?
ye thought that the answer would be implied my bad
It was for me
It is also simming very closely to the same Trinkets Ranked in the A Tier at 639. I mentioned WoWhead's ranking to give as much information as possible. Not to start an argument over its ranking. Seems like your only goal was to insult me for asking a question how a trinket simming?
Insult? Dude, you're starting the year off on the wrong foot..
that was not my intention at all, sorry if you felt that, yes the trinket is simming correctly, if you you think otherwise then feel free to show it, as it turns out getting a random proc while outside of your cooldowns is not very good
BP all the way.
You play on sub both kyveza trinkets
That's it they are bis and transmitter until you get a myth track trinket in s2
Transmitter is omega busted
Queens trinket is pure gamba. It's a beacon trinket if you crit great if not gg
Thanks, I'm still working on getting the other Kyveza Trinket (Void Reaper's Contract) and was trying to find my best available option.
Crystal in aoe then queen in st
Crystal is bis in aoe but also bit gamba when it proccs but in aoe any proc is good
Is legendary better gem or windsinger
Doesn't legendary have downtime on useless buffs from a dps perspective
Considering supercharger and tier bonus, why isnt it a good idea to macro dance and SoD?
Because your second set in your burst
If you have them macroed you have to either delay your dance or not supercharge a sectech
Neither of which are good
So you wouldnt delay dance in the burst to align sectech with symbols and take advantage of the 4 piece bonus?
Yeah bro viciously attacked didn’t you see? That was crazy. “What tier would you put it at?” Omg how dare you.
Okay that makes sense. Seemed like having sectech be the first global after dance lined up the 4 set bonus the best but yeah I see where you lose overall damage in the window by not having dance up
That’s wild
... huh... I skipped over a myth crystal
Most trinkets are about the same besides transmitter
A hc knife, champ crit thing from the isle, crystal, spyglass, ovinax egg

Could you explain this please, cause I'm macroing then
If you have them macroed you have to either delay your dance or not supercharge a sectech, idk what else to say
Finally getting the cadence down for using cds in m+ , Up 600k dps and 400k dps respectively for those keys from when I tried them two weeks ago. Having way more fun as Sub.
Like your burst window is getting scuffed one way or the other
Either you delay dancing
Or you dont get a supercharger on your second sectech
oh you mean the second burst window doesn't begin at the 1.5 minute mark ? we wait for few more cdr to get dance recharge below 40 seconds ?
nice
No
Your second dance
In flag
Not your second burst window
but how, i always have symbols up for second dance, and so it will amplify sec tec
yes i delay dance, but it's within the flag + transmitter (2-3 seconds remaining) window
That's a dps loss
ah ok, so what's the adjustment to the rotation to optimize ?
and in the opener dance, when you do symbols ?
When you dance
ok so -> basically -> shadowstrike -> evi -> vanish -> rupture -> trinket + flag + dance + symbols + sec tec + shadow blades ---> whatever + sec tec ----> (10-11 sec remaining -> press symbols) --> and dance + cb + sec tec when sec tec off cd
does this sound right ?
i see, and with that dance is available for 2nd sec tec ?
If you don't lose uptime, yes
It takes a while for muscle memory to develop, but not macroing them is definitely an improvement longterm
Since our burst windows make up a large part of your total damage, you will definitely notice
and for fingers what's the best way to execute it ? having two separate dances (one with symbols one without), or pressing symbols individually at the right always with dance un-macroed to anything
right time*
I just have one keybind for dance and one for symbols
@vale pine
explain shadowblades before ST?
it delays cb in the sim probably because of 3 min sim but
why is the shadowblades before ST 
You just always use CB on the second sec tec in cds now
Max mastery buff
ye but sim definitely takes it into account no?
So instead of wasting 2 seconds, you use it in your third dance global
Oh i see, thats weird
It doesnt matter
how does it not matter xd
since last global of blades is outside dance if i had to guess
If you change it the number the sim spits out is within 0.1%
What

get owned noob
its fine, there is no diffrence in output in making the apl line more complicated
Anyone got the trinket thing from bloodmallet as a screenshot real quick, it’s been floating around in here and bloodmallet is a pain on mobile
I am currently arguing „just use skardyns“ with someone that doesn’t play sub
Love those conversations
nah i guess its good the way it is it just means i have a 2 sec window on when to press it
whether before that or after

your cds are 1min30 tho
not 2min
I know
so tell him he is stupid
I did you dw
nice
It’s just a „this is true for every spec“ person
Plenty of 2 min specs use transmitter too
Because skardyn is ass
Theres just 2 actually good trinkets this season, and thats spymaster+transmitter
Skardyns is mastery in the end if your spec isn’t a fiend for mastery it’s not good
Or like
It’s worse than transmitter
But our case is special special you cannot argue skardyns for sub at all XD
so tell him he is stupid
skardyn only good in m+ !
(idk about sub xdd)
i LOVE deathstalker
i love not being able to fit my second sec tec in due to bad rng
Transmitter rocks except on ovinax where you can't see shit under boss fat ass
problem with trinkets is also how much stats you get
trinkets with mainstat are typically slotted with less stats on the use effect
you think it says sub for speed's spec because he respecced for last 2?
Most likely
On that level you probably have to send KB when you get ported down
On that level you just respec 
Sub unironically does atleast like 50% more damage than assa does on that boss specifically
16-17
On 16 if u don’t kb u have to stun+evasion and shiv for sure atleast, you’ll likely need a health pot for sure otherwise u will die
No healthpot+kb+evasion you might aswell just kill urself quick I think
As sub it dies 4 seconds into your dance 
Yea sub all the way
sub is also just better for the boss before
I tried killing him on 16 once and I had to kite the mob for like 10 seconds

No kb
skill issue
Not assing him again
Or just play fatebound with 10 heads flips
Low key take - fatebound ass with 40% crit is tanky af

compared to an arms warrior sure
Compared to sub assa is paper
Like as sub i dont need to feint a lot of shit on 17s, as assa you need to feint on 14s 
Well you still do, especially during cds as its free
But technically you'll surivive without it
On stuff like siege 3rd and first grimba
rogue in general is quite good in survival
feint is kinda op
so none of the specs is rly bad defensive wise
Sure, but its an unreasonable big difference between assa and the other two
Assa gets 3% leech, we get 10% dr, 10% dr from more vers and a 10% hp shield 
i am sure assassiantion will get a new talent to help in that one area it is behind soon
^^
uh you think so?
ass get a big evasion with ds
And even more dmg to compensate
Does shadowheart works with SD ?
its kinda ok
assassiantion also applies a damage reduction with garrote ^^
Ye and even with it up theyre more prone to oneshot than sub is without it
Besides, sub can have it too
the biggest diffrence is stats
sub stacks vers a lot more, and hence has higher baseline dr
10% aoe dr on feint is useless tho
but it is also not unreasonable, i disagree on that front
5% dr isnt though
Then all fatebound coins stack dmg reduction 
Tbh the two specs are fairly balanced, they shine in different situations, n one requires energy management n other cd reduction management.
10% hp shield verry good tho
Does shadowhaert work with dance?
ye i guess that one is ok
No
Don't think so
idk i think assa is decent now
i never die in keys unless i int
im too tanky
but i guess outlaw is even tankier
only with stealth, iirc not even subterfuge
yes
Timeline shows 2 dances in between the first and second flag window. Are you trying to fit two into every "downtime" window? Struggling to get a second dance charge in my second flag window
No
You cant do that on every rotation
You gotta make sure you have 1 charge and atleast 40s on your dance whenever you flag
Try to get as many as possible without breaking that rule (and not holding flag ideally)
Thank you! Is this doable without talenting into 25 sec SoD? Deathstalker and Rotten build
DS is a bit awkward in that regard
Look at a few logs in ST scenarios and how they do it. Going for 2 dances between opener and 2nd cd set means you have to be precise or else you delay everything a bit
All recommended builds use the 25sec sod talent
I miss when we just sent dance on cd zugzug
Yeah, sub is the one spec where you don't want to use everything on cd because of charges and cdr
That's the first thing new players have to learn and 1 reason why so few play sub
Been having a blast as sub
Hopefully it ends up in a good spot s2
With trinket availability/ tuning
Trickster gameplay is overall good but DS needs to get its shit together
DS gets really bad with alignments on longer fights
I can get 2 in between the opener and next flag, but quickly fall behind after that. I end up sitting on charges of SoD and the gameplay feels really uncomfortable with a naked sectech. 30 second SoD + added energy from the adjacent talent feels smoother throughout the fight and only sims .2% lower for my ST... Just too new to know if what im doing is bad habits or not
aka progress
Does it worth to use cursed enchants ?
wish this was heroic...
this would be bonkers
i push my buttons
Yes. Mastery or vers depending on preference and gear but most likely mastery.
i think cursed enchants are only really worth if you're losing a secondary stat that's bad
if you use cursed mast you lose vers
if you use cursed vers you lose crit
very true
anyone know why we spec into danse macabre if we are not stacking it (slotting in 1 backstab etc)?
Because 24% dmg during dance is good
is not 18? shadowstrike st and evis
+1 baseline
ah
But coup also counts
so the extra 6% from bad spells is just not worth?
ok ty
Bold to assume there will be any notes and RS getting fixed
😅
Yeah some mats are starting to go up on NA like literally over the last 24 hours it started, don't know what's happening to cause it, I feel like .7 being out as long as it has means it's not related to that patch, maybe some heavy farmers just stopped, though I figured the gathering bots would just infinitely keep going so not sure 
!FUU

might be the market yoyoing because of holidays
Is there some comprehensive (or at least comprehensible) guide for advanced simming?
I tried oxi's lines for the ovinax trinket but can't get it to run. I'm generally interested in understanding it to maybe sim certain encounters more precisely.
When it’s deleted in 12.0
say it isn't so
oh shit the AH is actually going wild, a mat that usually hovers between 4-6 gold per is now at 10g
Let's hope it's just the farmers being on vacation
Should have stockpiled more flasks
Dead game and I’m guessing some of the whales are stockpiling.
its just the market rebounding
the ring kinda kickstarted everything
from enchanting to new crafts etc
domino effect on materials as well
you can try pickpocket the recipie for the outlaw glyph and sell it, also probably good gold but not sure how high the drop rate is
nice
in this pace i might be able to achieve my goal in a month or a bit more
alloys went from negative craft value to 130% gain
the onyl thing that currently doesnt make sense is the missive drop down
they are dirt cheap right now
Ore is bugged right now afaik and my guess is not a lot are alloy spec. It wasn’t sexy.
True most just spec into crafting wpns n stuff.Alloys are like 45 KPs
i can guarantee max rank alloys without conc burning
which is massive gains goldwise
blacksmithing is expensive a proffession to handle
currently sanctified alloys are still 44% negative craft value,ironclaw alloys are 50% gains core alloys like 150%
charged alloys like 70%
Why are in Rtwf (or other mythic runs) running as sub? Assa Performance seems to be way better
I mean even nowadays there seems to be a split between the two
Ye because theyre balanced
Just play whatever you prefer
Assas performance is not way better except on rashanan and ovinax
Okay, so its mainly up to pred and not due to sth? I noticed that they are very close, but I was just wondering (rip outlaw)
Outlaw is good too
Outlaw feels more janky imo, not saying it is bad, just way different
@alpine wraith can you post the sheet for all the timings agian?
it is on my profile i think
ah thanks
I believe the tldr of the timings was "don't play ds" if I remember correctly
well ds is more st but gameplay is more stale
some people may like it actually
maybe assa people
my brain is wired for trickster better tho i kinda like doing fast math on if i can sneak some sec techs here or not
i like DS gameplay in theory, but the lack of sectec cdr makes it infuriating when you get screwed over by bad rng
subs gameplay at its base is just bad
it’s not or you wouldn’t be complaining about cdr and Sectech. That’s not a minor thing.
sec tech shouldn't even be a talent lol
it is fine as a talent
the talent trees are just too big, so blizz needed to put more things into them
Its just in a weird spot that forces us to go down the right path on the topside of the tree
Just like how it feels weird to have gloomblade locked behind shadow focus
sry got a question why dos the right and left side seem useless as in the 3 ss talents and the 2 on the left before cd on symbols
it is what it is
!fuu

Why we are not able to catalist the set piece
where stealthbar image

Is the WM proc actually delayed or is that my wa reacting too slowly?
WA reacts when you get the combo points
and yeah, sometimes WM is like slightly delayed
and by slightly I mean like .2 sec, long enough to be noticable but short enough to not ever matter or interfere with anything
Maybe it's my brain taking half an hour to process
But I swear that sometimes I yank out another backstab even though WM would have let me finish
Sometimes I wish it wasn't so quiet here, then I read the last two hours of the sin channel and change my mind
I just did a 6m burst opener on heroic court and I feel pretty good about being able to push buttons coherently.
Hey, new sub here. Is there any reason to not put Shadow Blades and Flagellation into one Macro?
Yes you don’t press them together
So they don’t go into one macro
You flag, press a few buttons then blades after the sectec
Blades is shorter duration and you want it for the more ramped parts of flag (it also doesn’t work with sectec)
This is your opener/burst window, I hope that helps illustrating why macroing them is a bad idea 😄
its also more important that they end together vs start together, because they have different durations and you get the most benefit at the second half of flag
Thanks everyone. Im currently trying to retrace where i misread that info to press it together
Doesn’t the value of flag come from its stacks, not necessarily second half
you have more stacks later in its duration
vs when you press it or the first handful of seconds
the value of flag comes from the mastery
exactly
you basically have 8 seconds from when you press flag to stack it before hitting blades to take full advantage of sending finishers with full mastery stack value
anyone has the same issue while pressing "a" or "d" to turn sidewards its super slow? like really slow?
just logged in and its super weird...
Yeah I had that issue and a console command can fix it
I wanna say it was /console turnspeed 180 to turn it back to normal
hell ye, thx ma G
worked
❤️

Yeah, it's a known issue since this week (or patch I forget)
You can fix it with a console command. A few people in my raid are complaining about it atm
ye it felt so weird but then I thought maybe i am just going crazy and it was always like that and my brain is just fried because of my kids sucking every energy out of me and killing my last braincells
I get around that by having no braincells.
since ur playing sub and propably not ret, u got to have atleast a few braincells mate
So giving myself a refresher its been like a week since I had my sub active and about to go try to do delves and mythics on my rogue to start gettng geared up more
I wanna use symbols somewhat on cooldoown.
Use cold blooded with secret techniques
Save shadow blades and shadow dance for flag combos
etc
The main thing is to make sure you can use 2 dances and 2 symbols during flag+blades
Which means you need atleast 1 dance and ~40s left on your second charge when you flag
Whats the flag combo without vanish and such apart of it since those are on CD from opener and will prob only line up every 2nd flag. after said opener
Vanish is just for premed full cp,
Youd just get full cp->flag->rupture and go into cd’s
God cds line up so weirdly
The more I get into the combos and shit its feeling like only 3 things ima have macrod is cold blood with secret technique, opener combo, and flag combo.
Trying too hard to keep everything on CD to not waste dps.... but then getting into it like " I NEED to not have everything on CD so I can have my burst phases"
Most things dont need to be used immediately
You have multiple charges of dance and symbols
sub doesn’t need macros
So you dont lose anything by holding for a bit
I tried to get by with using macros in the beginning, but would recommend to try learning it without them from the start
You'll eventually get rid of them and then you have to rewire your muscle memory
Opener and Flag combo is set in stone with little to 0 variation and those are going to be the main "macros" I use in terms of combos
Theyre not really set in stone though
Esp while trying to not die
What exactly is a "flag combo"?
Back in sanctum of domination when my raid learned of that console command we had all sorts of fun with it. I forget what its upper limit is but it's high
isn't that the person who was trying to make an entire opener cast sequence macro
That's a lot of people new to the spec tbh
@hazy breach So people keep mention the 2 symbols + 2 shadow dances for the combo, but where would they go into this.
Already have the opener. Just trying to get the non opener.
Im not the best DPS player and this streamlines for me and my brain to not fuck it up while trying not to die and worry about mechanics
Macros are there for a reason. Dont need to judge people for using them. Not everyone is the same.
It's just important to know that beyond very basic quality of life stuff like a focus tricks macro (which there's even a weak aura macro that is neat) macro gameplay will always be suboptimal
They'll sometimes even not work at all
^
And im not trying to be optimal. Ive never tried to be optimal on DPS because theres 3-20 other dpses with me at all times.
Its not a solo game
I put the work in to carry myself. I dont need to be #1
Not a take I agree with but uh you do you man
Sub, as a spec, doesn't really mesh well with that ethos because its not really a very rigid spec
there's a fair bit of flexibility in how it plays from pull to pull
I'm already busy playing suboptimally without macros 
Sub by design is based around getting cdr back on abilities, some times you’ll get more or less cdr
and from what EVERYONES telling me. The combos im doing macros for are the exact same combo, almost every single time with no variance.
So I see no reason not to macro it to improve my DPS without the stress of me fucking up and dying or losing hundred thousands worths of DPS
So those big heavy flag openers and rotations are the only things I really have macro'd.
The only time it doesnt work is in dungeons and the tank doesnt give me enough time to stealth to do the opener
But since I made this rogue for raiding. Thats not a problem I will have to deal with
Well you dont NEED stealth to do the sub opener
Theyre probably the least important on sub out of all the rogue specs especially
Usually in cases like this I would just use shadow meld to try to iniate the opener because the opener relies on me closing the distance with shadowstrike
But im still new and theres prob more reliable variations I can change to it
I can prob just... remove that part of the opener and do that part myself
Ah there it is, my beloved: #assassination message
IF you don't get targeted by mechanics, a castsequence opener might work. But everything afterwards is very likely to break.
Because I cant always get into stealth to start it
Stealth is, as I understand it, only there to give us premed and to avoid backstab annoyance. We don't actually need it to get rolling or get going.
Yea premed for flag finisher at max cp is large
Ye
Basically what im feeling. I go into stealth for mobility, shroud, and shadow dance.
Thats... basically it
You don't go into stealth for shadow dance - you actively can't.
besides that its just vnaish shadow strike or a shadowmeld shadowstrike
You know what I Mean
It activates "stealth"
without stealthing
its stealth “effects”
Same for meld. Its a stealth but not a stealth. Its... weird.
Not true stealth tho
It allows you to use abilities that require stealth but it is different from stealth.
Like meld doesnt stealth me, but it allows me to use shadow strike and stealth moves
Granted only once
But still
But with restealthing as Sub - if your tank is pulling decently it is, in my experience, pretty whatever. You'll just get ruptures rolling anyway if you can't dance or w/e.
That's my experience as well
I think finding a way that works for you is cool, but I think your macro's may end up overcomplicating it. You could probably reduce them and make it a bit more comfortable?
Yeah sub wants to be in cd’s asap
with enough mobs you'll get max cp from a single storm anyways so premed doesn't matter there
so you just kinda supplement that
It only complicates it while macro is in testing phase. ONce I have the macro done, its done. Until nerfs or things happen to change it like adding a trinket proc or something into it
Because oh boy of all things in the game... the thing im ass with the most... is on use effects on trinkets
I never know when the fuck to use them
Look at their duration and try and fit that around your cooldowns
16 second buff? Use with blades
What happens if one of the Evis's procs coup in the opener? Does it still cast it with an Eviserate thing?
Here's the good news! Transmitter lines up perfectly with our cooldowns
20 second buff? use 4 seconds into flag
Transmitter in a full cooldown macro 
If the reason for building this macro is not getting distracted/adhd, then transmitter is probably bad news 😅
I was kinda hoping no one would point that out in plain text lol
have you met Orb
Orb is off on an adventure
Out to sea.
Never to be seen again. Look at it go. Floating off.. away...
Have you met any of those while cast sequence macros?
Omg I should have made a Bilbo meme with Orb instead
"I'm going on an adventure!"
Its entirely to prevent my distractions and adhd brains focusing on my raid group and myself not dying because I tunnel visioned the combo just to fuck it up half way thrugh and lose about 80% of my burst because of the fuck up.
wait are you raidleading as sub?
Last time I saw orb was about 2:00 and then off he went god bless him
My orb on Queen this evening decided to hover on top of goop.
Not raid lead, but I still try to pay attention to what others do as an officer of the guild.
My favorite is when it literally goes off an edge
Raiding leading as Sub is fine, and funny.
Siege of Boralus final boss, final platform.
gotta 360 no scope the spawn position
Fucking kill me LOL
Im a holy pally / in general healer main. But making a rogue so im not healing every week and our guild needs more consistent DPS and might go rogue for season 2 for that.
Its why I made this rogue and powered it up as fast as I could in like 2 days
im an O in my guild as well, took alot of time getting my sub muscle memory down before i commited years back. But theres just so much optimization potentially lost in sequence macros like that
Like I said. Im not trying to be #1. My brain wont allow that even if I wasnt an officer paying attention to that.
Im just trying not to be #20
Fair
Ye, I get that. And finding a way to play that works for you is cool and good. But I would suggest trying a few lesser macro's first instead of a cast sequence for Sub
Like putting SecTec+CB together. Dance+Symbols.
Guess i wouldn’t understand that so much from someone who really likes to be #1 
Less buttons, suboptimal, but more control.
And like I said. I only really have those 2 macros
Flag and Opener
The rest are just simple things
This is all I have right now. Havent even did the normal flag one
But TOT is my misdirect macro just... changed to tricks
Distraction is just a @cursor macro
I just feel like subtlety rogue is not really conducive to the castsequence approach
Stun is just kidney shot cheap shot changing macro
Again cdr, kinda makes stuff like that very weird
To take less button space
There must be other specs who are better for that
Imho rogue is the BEST one for cast sequence macros
I dont think so
I consistently play other classes and imho no other class lines up cds and precise combos like rogue does
Warrior is literally 3 buttons
Sub doesn't line up CD's precisely, though.
Sometimes 4
Every 1 min 30 u press all ur buttons
I have a single macro for that
That just presses it all at once because its not on GCD
besides that its literally bloodthirst, enrage, and what ever else the main 3
I more meant arms
Sometimes a whirldwind mixed in for aoe cleave pasive
but same thing tbu
sad
I am curious what happens when you get coup de grace in your opener macro? Does it cast it properly?
Arms is based
Is that double eviscerate?
It's Coup de Grace, tricksters keystone. It is Eviserate, but I don't know if the macro casts it because it's technically called something different. Which is wy I'm curious.
It should
I dont play trickster

Im using the deathstalker single target build



i need my 0.1% !!!
