That was the recommended raid single target build on wowhead was deathstalker
That @vale pine did
So.
well
If you read into it more
He kinda says dont play it
Trickster is like 2% behind but its wayyy better to play
not that you CANT play it
but its a pain to
Compared to trickster
Deathstalker is reeeally janky to play, and I think with your macroing it's going to feel even worse. Like, won't you run into DN issues and wasting stuff?
Yes
literally says "PLAY THIS"
Your reasoning for why you want the castsequence does not align with playing DS
DS distracts me and I don't even have mild adhd
Its most likely outdated or not updated
It's been a while since I played DS but without the CDR from Trickster, would stuff even align properly for a macro at 1:30 to properly execute it all?
Namely SecTec, I mean
you'd probably just hold everything at that point then send the macro
Yeah, I guess.
depends on how he uses sd and dance inbetween flag+blades
between the rupture plague damages, the 30% more shadow damage for gloomblade and shit after shadow blades ends, etc. the crits for the gurneteed eviscerate crits, etc. Its things I dont have to really worry about. I attack boss. I just naturally do more damage from the single target things
which felt gross to type ngl
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
guys is m+ bricked when I got 2 invites at all in the last 2 1/2 weeks for keys? i even que up as assa and then do the switcherino afterwards (if i ever get invited). Its always fkn aug/enhancer or ele/dk or balance....this is just fucked up at this point. and when i play my own key ppl fk it up in 10 seconds too
lfg is a wasteland
depending on the time of day and key level there's maybe 0-3 keys
i am lf some 15s and 16s. ye its impossible without a team
if I didn't run with guildies I wouldn't run at all
^^
only time I queue is as MW for fun
Same
and I use the term fun loosely
Yeah, I imagine getting into keys that high in LFG atm is just gonna be horrible 😦
tried healing a prot pal with 50% sotr uptime
its not even horrible, its actually impossible. and even tho i timed 16s i dont even get invited for 14s sometimes because even for lower keys ppl always want meta comp
Rough, that sucks 😦
tbh this is 100% blizzs fault, as always. because they dont give any shits
If not for my brothers and guild, Id just keep my sub canceled and play rivals all day

yeah it really feels abandoned and whatever they do now to mitigate isn't helping
My hot take is I think M+ is pretty unfun and bad right now but this would spiral into my whole loot issue speech and I've done that enough.
sry whats the discussion?
They’re not worth it
They were questioning why I was using deathstalker sub
When it was the build you have on your guide
Why does wowhead says play DS. 

I think its a pretty reasonable take, dungeons don't feel great, peril drove off too many people who don't care to come back
got a bimodal distribution of changes and too many people left in the middle
Ye
Imho the dungeon difficulty spike in mythic is not fair. I dont wanna risk all that time, annoyance, possible deaths and wasted golds on repairs... to not even get enough crests to upgrade a piece of gear. Or to not get gear at all.
DS is an easier to understand version of the spec and in a bubble of ST with certain fight times it sims / performs better.
because it is technically stronger on pure single target
also fuck DS
based AF
I know why, they don’t. 

I can tell why its better st just by reading its passives with the extra damage after shadow blades for 30%, the extra rupture duration, the plague damage, etc.
Its a ot of passive single target buffs to my normal kit that I dont really have to pay attention to it just "happens"
I would just play Trickster everywhere, its more fun
I wonder if blizz has a bot in here that logs whenever people say that and when it hits a certain number it buffs BP
I think trickster is the best and I would never play DS unless they buffed BP by 10,000%
hint hint, blizzard
Support
Season 2 comedy rotation where we just push shadowstrike -> bp
Season 2 = dark brew season
Season 2: shuriken tornado st
possible, we will see
The year of the STST
Haha
Sepsis comes from behind with the metal chair


Shadow Dance back into class tree
By God that opener macro had a family!
Every spec gets Crackshot
but it does more for Sub and Sin
just to piss off the pirates
Don't summon zac
Acro.......
I still have Dreadblades on my action bars for outlaw lol
When will they bring back cannon barrage.
Omg
Meanwhile retri with the 30y melee gameplay
gimme Miss Fortune ult
Mortal Strike -> Execute

i would like the extra range to come back
Blizzard trying to find out why there's 900,000 ret parses and the next highest is like 100k
I definitely wouldn't be mad if we got a few extra yards
So...from what im telling is the opener, is literally just... the same macro if I do this cast sequence macro thing... just one has trinkets/probably 30 second combat flasks wile the other doesnt...?
Never tried that spec. I'm afraid I might like it 💀
and one doenst have vanish while the other does
Bold of you to assume they’re look at anything on rogue
I'm still waiting for them to admit they forget rogue exists most of the time
here more nerfs in PvP. Rogue fixed.
We got a quest this expansion. A quest
Arent assassin and sub literally the 2 best raid dpses atm
Been playing mistweaver bc its fun to play a spec that gets regular positive attention
Mistweaver is a pretty good time. That's my healer alt
while also having glaring bugs as well
ST yes. Best? No
rogue is usually at the or near the top on boss dmg
Have you met shamans?
The plural of anecdote is not data and having specs with literally 3000 parses on the board is not a great dataset
it is for me mostly to counter bad tanking or annoying mechanics
Always has been
100%, having the breathing room when tanks grief with movement is very nice
I'm convinced the parses are all from the nerds on this discord and that's the reason I barely manage to get orange parses
erratic boss movement by tanks is my 13th reason
I get so tilted when things move for no reason lol
I did notice in the rotation for flag that @hazy breach Has up , i cant do a secret techniques in that combo because theres no combo gen after the initial eviscerate after flag
Wait...
nvm am I just stupid
Also like. Ovinax. Let me stand further away from the hitbox slug
I am
Forgot to shadow strike

Nvm this time its user error
skipped over the shadow strike for what ever reason
Can't wait for priory m+ without acro
What
The second boss room, let's goooo. Paladin's revenge.
Feinting on CD is gonna be fun
Actually pretty hyped for that dungeon 'cos it's so short, and so dense.
I think it's going to be fun.
DS angle just Storm + BP that pack
More fainting than feinting, amirite!?
Skimmed passed the combo.
tank strat gonna kite in a circle around the room constantly
I read this and my brain didnt process the shadowstrike
So I was confused why I had no combo for ST
Its user error. Dont worry about it
Lol coup in paladin room is gonna be a liability for sure
It's gonna rule.
Gonna make an MLG montage of it
I need to collect a stupid death from every dungeon and raid boss with coup.
Omg that would be so funny
if i had mic on stream for prog, i would have had a funny one
"Here's the best way to anhero in every dungeon, like comment subscribe"
died to coup on queen
started ranting
made myself more angry with the rant
then i threw my mouse across the room
the classic snowball of rage lmao

rip mouse
See once I get everything set up. Its gonna be a now "when the fuck do I use which defensive"
..I guess it proc'd coup de grace itself. And charged into a wall.
Maybe you can make a castsequence for your defensives too 😛
Like they have... weird fucking defenses

Does dodge work on Aoes
Feint aoe
yes and no
Dodge melee and some weird mechs
run elusiveness and hit everything lol
Feint is all about using it and checking your logs afterwards
Swifty macro but make it defensive
Feints an obvious one.
If a giant aoe is under my feet about to hit me, press it.
But the evasion is more so the one i'd prob have trouble knowing when to hit
What you mean
Or shadowstep out of it
Come on wow
Get ready for your rogue defensives to only work on half of what you expect them too
I might just... ally cast or mouse over that to shadow step to healers or some shit
Basically the only time I use it is if I get hit with a knock back
the next 3 months of his rogue life is gonna be a journey for sure
Shadowstrike does its job when im not in combat
Im trying to learn it all before I prog AOTC with it in season 2
Give me a sec to find my reaction for this
new season new things to learn 
hmm this magic dmg spell
Found it. My boi
can i cloak this?
This is my reaction to this
lemme try
Classic oh yeah lemme evasion this oh too bad its actually an attack AND A SPELL
So i STILL GET HIT
Just give me a normal DR ability like eveyr other class that works against everything you bastards
I love the game of "Can I shadowstep this beam or will I die"
does the 1 sec full immunity from cloak then work on it?
I have 2 defensives and it sounds like the most unreliable shit
nope
They're just louder
well you spec into it
and more consistently annoying
then its a flat DR
Atleast boomkins get bonus armor while being in boomkin
Evasion feint + cloak can all be % dmg reduction
Yeah but how much killing damage is phys vs magical
Oh this gonna be a blast
so the extra armor is meh
The amount of times in keys I had to explain why I died.
"Tried to cloak it, didn't work. oops"
I assume Im grabbing avoidance on my bracers/cloak
like i said its literally just trial by error, i do this at the start of each tier
stand in shit
Avoidance is nice fs
and just press a defensive to see if it works
I hop in to lfr for some of that
i just terrorize our HC runs
My favorite is NW first boss, without elusiveness the only way you live is the 1s immunity on cloak

follower dungeons too for the base mechs
Otherwise instant dead
i just got a myth sikran arsenal drop but my other trinkets are passive and like ilvl 600, when should i use these ?
im assuming outside of shadow
evasion?
Why don't you make a spreadsheet for us noobs? 😭
bro this timewalking event coming up soon is gonna be so nice to get gear for my rogue.
yeah I thought wretch was an evasion angle
Every weeks a new time walking for a new heroic piece. 
you can evasion it + 1 sec cloak immunity it
RH tried to set one up in the past, it takes way too long to upkeep every season.
its been too long
too much work
Yeah in sl it worked but i dont think it did this season 
i swear
I guess I should make one for myself next season then 😛
I remember having to explain to my RL why I didn't have cloak after using it before my killing spree during some beam mechanic 😅
okeoke
"It's a security blanket don't hate me"
just take the L outlaw scrub
It doesn't discriminate
Hahah
My hands are too old for outlaw now
if i could play it with a broken wrist then so can you old man
Now I need the safety blanket for coup huehue
Outlaw is like sub during cooldowns, it just never stops
85apm aint that bad to keep up
pretty sure if tracked my apm when i play sub its a good bit over 100
i spam my buttons alot
Wait... why do I no longer have access to the channel that eleem had up for combos
He probably found out that you played DS 🫣

Jk, I don't have access either. Maybe he's making adjustments.
Ye i removed it
ah
aite aite
I kinda liked it
Oh ye probably
this one
remove it 
what part of it is wrong
should get yeeted
@vale pine can you remove !symbols
i can ye
Pretty sure it’s outdated
gone
Whats the 2 poisons im using? Instant and Atrophic?
In raid yeah
In keys you’d use mind numbing
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
How many targets are implied for when flawless form is not up? 2 or more?
!logs
Yes
Yes always in raid. The 3% dr is insane for prog. Depending on boss fight like Ky'veza it was 350ish k hps
That's roughly a 1/4 healer
Rogue has one of the strongest raid buffs for high end raiding and one of the worst for farm.
nah just take atrophic always, numbing becomes a bit useless on bosses
i wouldn't use the word insane, like pally also brings 3% dr
but it's very good, shame nobody really cares about it as much as a dmg buff
hey i have a question. i got assigned to use my vanish on first root on queen. since i can't vanish rupture on pull, do i bother applying rupture, or do i just eviscerate and go strait into dance window?
For a rogue that has no healing what so ever.... thats pretty damn insane as extra utility for a group
Bringing that for literally noting
i don't understand what you mean literally nothing
other classes bring damage buffs for literally nothing too
I mean. It is literally nothing.
Its an a free to cast hour long buff
tht procs for existing
You still want to rupture, just skip the first evisc
doesn't almost every thing that exists like atrophic
flag - rupture - cd's
And is that 350k in raid or a dungeon scenario.. because thats also vastley difference
you want to have it up for your cooldown window so you don't refresh it during
or apply during
put it this way, rogues will never ever get taken to keys because of atrophic
its still good damage
appreciate it
You'll lose a bit of SnD uptime but with the guaranteed Unseen procs from using sectech (assuming you're playing trickster) you aren't missing out on that much
Hi all, just curious. Why is rupture high prio in the rotation? Is it purely just the dmg or is there a second order effect of having it up?
Sorry for the newb question. Trying leveling Sub as an alt and I’m 625 IL but I’m parsing low blues 😢
It just does damage
Thanks Eileen - what would you say is the biggest factor is getting parses up for Sub? Like, what do you think people do wrong consistently?
Prob not doing your flag windows correctly
I usually pop flag-evis-symbols-dance-SecretTech-blades
Bad flag windows are often a result of bad dance/sod/sectec management between cds and/or unlucky mechanics
Last few weeks i always got the damn sikran charge in the opener
yeah thats the worst
My biggest noticeable improvement was double sectech inside transmitter window.
Some fights like sikran im pressing the second sectech and the boss is dashing for first set of spirits. The timing is so close.
Ah do you pop transmitter right before your first sec tech? That I think gets you enough time to pop sectech again before transmitter runs off?
@tribal blade got to first intermission night one with 19 people.
nice!
progging court gonna be pretty fast after the nerfs
they made orbs a complete non issue, which is nice
cdr might be iffy, but probably will work
I think it’ll be ok. Just have to look a little closer when to pop stuff
Thankfully the boomie I’m paired up with is good about communicating so we’re sorting out web baits on him.
huge, good to have a partner with brains
Yeah it’s just with DS it feels like a tighter window vs trickster but I’m not playing it perfect ofc so idk
DS has a much harder time fitting second sectech into transmitter
timings on DS are quite tight, it is more punishing for mistakes
Trickster is just design wise better
Agree
Design wise I’m not sure. It has a pretty steep entry for understand how it all works together.
Cdr is def better on tricky
neither is great design. Just those already comfy with sub be having fun with trickster. Fml if I had to learn all of it fresh.
That’s what I did with the start of tww
And it was uhm
An experience
Especially because it was much less comparable to now
Triple secret tech opener trickster 
I kinda miss that tho
I think the “skill expression/difficulty” is still part of why the spec struggles with getting play time in mythic
Even tho the window was tight as shit
Ya even tho most of the difficulty just lies in the spec being very krangly
Like you can read your Talent tree
it’s a fuck ton to keep in mind compared to so many specs
And you don’t have a single clue what’s happening
So we have 2 90 second CDs, and we don’t stack them? 
I mean tbf it’s better than before
Maybe delete blades. Give Flag 2 charges
It’s actually comical the difference between ST assa and sub
Pre rework was crazy to learn
But also a very fun experience if you are into that
Im part of that minority
But it’s pretty bad for anyone not into complex/steep learning curves
Which is most of the aging wow player base. 
subtlety got a lot easier ^^
10.2 was hard to learn, the baseline now is fairly simple
If someone have time, check this pls
i find this tier to be harder than 10.2 for sub
no idea what 10.2 sub was but the 1 charge symbols scare me
well you had two symbols every time you went into cds cause of shadowdust
also one symbol charge made it easier cause you would always send it
there was hardly any decision making
plus supercharger wasnt a thing
so it really was a fire and forget kind of spell
10.2 was a lot of fun, but def fiddly. Figuring out when to send vanish for dust, etc. Smolderon was a ton of fun with double on use.
I reaaaally like current Sub though. Supercharger, symbol charges, etc. It feels great.
subtlety
id argue 10.2 was easier cause you only ever had to think about vanish use, and thats it
now you have to think a lot more about every dance, symbols, cold blood and sec tec (if you want to min max)
also the fact that you can get into situations now where depending on cp generation (or lack thereof), you can squeeze in extra spells, adding even more decision making to the mix
i agree, smolderon was absolutely goated
also very high skill cap, i dont think ive seen a log where someone performed the double cold blood + snap shot tech perfectly on every intermission
smolder was also great, cause it 100% came down to execution
kyveze is unfortunately a lot more RNG due to how the fight is designed
someone said RNG???
*Blizzard enters with goblins and gamba season
kvyeza is a great fight to progress on, but can be frustrating when you want to parse
Sub Queen best queen
i agree, silken court too
Oh I mean Kyveza. She's the sub queen.
blizz should add them to subtlety
that's kind of a wild take
we will get them when the sub clone rework comes around
sectec will do little regicides
dust sub goes down as one of the hardest rotations in the game
second to arcane mage
only hard part about 10.2 was playing smold to perfection
well
not saying 10.2 was easy
i mean the only hard thing is figuring out dust timers tho
once thats done
its done
yeah exactly
i guess so
and 99% of people werent even doing thatr, just checking a sheet
or lorgio
or whatever
but i think it's still universally accepted as one of the hardest rotations
"nuclear difficulty" as yoda put it
i disagree
Extremely easy to mess up, and if you did mess up, you couldn't realistically recover.
maybe as a baseline, sure
but when talking about min maxing
current sub is head and shoulders above
nah i don't think so
but it did shift the focus on what we track now
i think sub is still not simple
for sure
sub is always the easiest spec in the game 
so true, just shadow dance lol
glow purple, destroy boss
it's just crazy to me that everyone was losing their minds over dust sub
and now that it's gone you guys in here saying it was easy
that is actually true, messing up shadowdust was a lot more punishing
I havent changed my stance 
im not saying its easy, im saying 10.2 sub was easier when it came to min maxing
i tought dust was piss free on progress
(except for smold)
it was just mega annoying on reclears when timing changed every week
I think the reason Sub is seen as really difficult back then is you have no room for mistakes, and it has a big learning curve. Min/maxing is something else entirely imo, too. But like for most people the baseline spec stuff was a lot and one error and poof, damage gone.
you never had to think about sec tec or symbols, now you do
and there isnt one sheet solution for every boss
Whereas modern Sub today is a lot easier as a baseline, it's simpler to understand and play and errors aren't as punishing. But all the weird little things you need to do to really push that damage up make it waaaay more complex.
i only yesterday discovered you can sneak in an extra sec tec on ansurek p1 if you lust on pull
yeah sub right now still creates quite a bit of complexity for the average wow player it seems
i did a weekly mists a few weeks ago and there was a guy talking about how he couldn't get his sub rogue to do damage
and then i did 2.5m overall
and they were so confused
I had one in a pug raid I ran where he did like.. 460k DPS on Court?
it doesnt help that only giga sweatlords play sub right now
so many good players i know only parse green because of it
haha that sounds about right
If you don't know to sync stuff up, and don't know how to properly leverage your big buttons, you do no damage.
I actually had him for most of the raid. He did mechanics flawlessly but just no damage. Really nice guy, though.
it's really hard to parse as sub atm it seems
that's for sure
yeah
awww nice 🙂
I'm sad I lost my rank 69 bloodbound parse. It was perfect.
even if i play out of my mind on bosses i'm still purple parsing
although i gotta say
when i was expecting an orange
lots of top logs out there, which play imperfect timings
unfortunately RNG can carry you really hard currently
Yeah
rng and timings
kill timings are so important for sub atm
you can see it on wipes
wipe on a boss right before your cds are coming up you're low on details
wipe on a boss right after a cd set you're on top
Ye
it's crzy
we killed ansurek a bit too fast last night, missed out on the big cold blood sec tec on the last little spider boys
unluck
rip
at least on ansurek and silken you cant get fucked by mechanics
(aside from bad portal timings i guess)
I hit my firsy 6m+ burst on Court last night (Heroic, though) which felt good. Just absolutely monstering the bosses.
silken court is fun
I love it
although thats the boss i struggled most with this tier
I did manage to find a tank on Wednesday who decided the best way to tank them was seperate, though.
nah thats cooked
And most of those parses are probably in here posting, haha
real
nice
mental becomes better once you stop chasing parses
and just care about killing bosses
well
A kill is a kill, esp a first kill.
with proper execution and ethical gameplay you can pretty much always parse purple
And then it's comedy funtimes.
You notice that Sub is played mostly by the die hard spec enjoyers
On Sin, it's relatively easy to get orange parses
On Sub, you have to have good fight timings and still sweat through the entire fight 😄
Instructions unclear. Secret technique is now a targeted aoe like rain of fire with 10 sec delay
Hahaha
Sectec now teleports you to your target if you are standing further than 3 yards away.
i feel sorry for all the sub rogues who missed out on every single strike tping you to your target
now THAT was podracing
and a lot of dying to stuff
i feel sorry for all sub rogues who happen to to press coup at the apex of the ansurek jump only to come down crashing like they were using death from above
striking the worm boss in shadow moon is a core memory of mine
I have fond memoeries of a wipe on Razageth 'cos another Sub strike'd the boss in the final phase with the bomb on them.
Pour one out for everyone that missed catlike reflexes, especially on open world PvP
Bring it back..
things with flavor for sub? that's crazy
dismounting someone and falling with them in unison only to land clean as they go splat.
Yeeting myself towards the raid instance by dismounting was a lot of fun
min-maxy question: if you go into symbols outside of flag and you have coup up, do you coup or sectec first (if you'll have sectec up for your next burst window)?
Probably doesn't matter, but it just happened and I wondered.
oh god, pls no
i was a dust hater
but TWW dust sub was okay
i liked that functionality
Do you still use Vanish on cd for dps or save it for mechanics?
Once for opener, then save for mechanics
The little dps you gain is offset by its utility
Right, thanks!
i did like the flexibility of dust
it just added a lot of complexity, so i am okay with what they did
the main problem now is the reliance on good trinkets
how can they fix it?
move power from trinkets into the base kit
Pressing Shadowstrike during trilliax beam
MonkaS
me too!
b r o
having to stand in melee range or else dying to the beam
i remember that so well on trilliax
i loved sub during legion
dust was kinda cool if you knew that optimal performance was not the goal sometimes
being able to crank when needed
i agree, it did feel really good if you timed cds well
foreseeing needing cds in a key and then planning ahead of time and banking vanish charges
Dust on prog 
Dust on parse 
maybe it's because i have smol brain and not galaxy brain
but dust squeezed my tiny brain for all it was worth
I prefer Sub how it is now but I came to like Dust in S1 of TWW. But S1 of TWW sucked fo rother reasons lmao
dust was also horrible if you are terrible at math like me
1Dust Brew though. Now that was the goat
I have to thank hachadino for cooking up THE ROTTEN in df season 2. Made me wrap my head around dust before it was cool
it took me a really long time to get the hang of dust
Was it ever good idk i never parse well. But it was a great break from "i spam gloomblade"
Same and without this discord I wouldn't have.
Dust in farm/hc boosts was goated if you knew how to pull cds
I kinda wish there was a viable lingering shadows build
But then again, that scares me
I also wish we had seal fate again
Crit being a good stat felt right on sub to me idk
Always super hype to gloomblade twice and already be at 6cp from sht procs
Who am i kidding tho, shadowcraft is the best thing to happen to this class
ME TOO
a lot of people didn't like what seal fate did to sub, but i loved it
it also fixed sub's cleave issue
yeah quite a few people didn't like it
to me that was the best CP generation sub has had in a while
you had a constant flow of decent CPs always
it felt good
but it also caused sub to have quite a flat damage profile, another thing people didn't like
cant imagine anything good enough as seal fate,across all rogue specs
loved it,still do
But it wasnt seal fate 
Anyway we got craft for seal fate
So all good
i phrased that badly, it was part of the reason at least
haha yeah, craft that hyper pushes all the CPs into symbols
The flatness came from dancing every 25s period, not speccing into flag and aberrus tierset + lingering giving good damage outside dance
Raccoon is right
raccoon is annoying,cant even feel happy in my delusion
carry on with delulu 
I don't exactly miss being a gloomblade spam gamer
I think my biggest problem with the spec right now is that it feels like they have to take one or two things back if they give us one good thing
revert the duration change to shadowblades and I'll be (mostly) happy
having to put it at the end of the opener is cursed
Blend blades into dance and delete the ability. Give flag 2 charges.
adjust whatever cd length you need to. Remove cdr
delete it
while ur at it
and also rework tree pathing and almost everything else about it
Tornado should replicate the next 4 finisher
Literally an ion cannon
Instant dmg finisher
tornado turns any on-use into a 1.5min cd
LMAO
so we aren't stuck with what's coming in s2
Just keep it simple. Aoe rupture spread
or lack of what's coming
but imagine rogue, specifically sub getting looked at
id like to see more interactions with fw tbh
Maybe one day
I'd like to see fw either deleted or made better in any way
Its like worse Mark of the Crane for windwalkers and I'm jealous theirs is getting deleted in 11.1
bc you need it for shadowed finishers
but it isn't even interesting
in st it doesn't exist bc its always there, in aoe you gotta do the janky 2nd rotten storm thing
Its a mess in aoe
and yeah its nonexistent in st
It just feels pointless
Its just there
FW is pointless
Agreed, I'd like it better if it did something impactful for one or the other so they can make the interaction deeper
flavor my ass
instead of having it for both and it ends up like it is currently
Make it give cdr or something when you hit a target with fw idk
or double your cdr
Fuck that. Delete cdr
Ideally yeah
Yeah
because you can get giga fucked for no fault of your own
Love my dance being 10 seconds delayed of where i expect it to
cuz boss dashed across the arena and i couldnt hit him
adding a second flag would give us flexibility. Not necessarily tie us into a 90 sec trinket and could just get rid of all cdr
had sikrans where I got 3 charges and 2 deleters and basically afk'd
Double flag opener press every cd
massive opener lust burst 
I do like charges of things
you’d likely need some type of throttle to not just hit it twice
I more meant back to back
sure
so yo ucould either send an ion cannon or flex it
Cant wait for a damage amp boss to show up and we just press all cd’s on one part of a fight and afk the entire rest of it 💀
Im simming 639 transmitter and it tilts me so much that its gonna be bis s2 and Im probably not going to get it
Its 100% gonna be nerfed next season
And of course they’ll take the time to nerf it but wont take the time to make a 90s agi trinket
Not the only big thing rogue players have 😉
its not the size of the wave, but the motion of the ocean
Absolutely
Quick question, I’m simming like 600k more than i average overall in dungeon slice. Do I just suck or is that normal?
without logs its hard to say
Dslice is not really representative for actual key overalls
That sort of thing will depend hugely on dungeon/route/other dps/raid buffs/deaths etc
let sub rogues use fist weapons you cowards. #blizzard
And im not saying that to use the steam punk fist weapons.... Totally not
(I am)
Letting us use a fist OH would be nice.
We can totally equip them, we just can't ever realistically use them, which is sad.
Wasnt there some shit in dragonflight where we would use a dagger main hand t make use of dagger skills but off hand wise we used a sword for better damage and stat prios?
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
I remember there being something like that due to stat weights on the pvp weapons at the least.
Maybe less relevant in PvE
last time we used slow off hands was in bfa
really curious what they are cooking for season 2 - sub def needs muuuuuch love
because folly and ra den first wep were kinda op
even in pvp it's terrible. people are just stuck in the past.
likely they are cooking nothing
poison toggle
yea just in line with crimson vial pickpocket things
Is it normal for flawless form to drop off for sometime during st rotation
yes
Ok thanks
More like next week
Changes to sub?
Christmas isn't over until the raid bosses stop wearing christmas hats
just changes
Is trickster or stalker better for mythic court
trickster iirc
Also, is there some bug when coup de Grace doesn't cast, instead it does old slice n dice animation n combo points are lost for literally nothing
Yeah, good one.
Sub getting changes?
Mby they buff bp again.
yep sometimes if you dont have slice it does that
I see thanks, ya noticed it while skinning
You have my attention why does one of the top dmg specs need much love 🙂
Well, it'd be cool if they could fix the laundry list of bugs. And some of the big issues with the tree. Also coup's charge.. And all of Deathstalker
Also poison toggle
Sure then you get to see we fixed this bug and in returned lowered dps to compensate 😄
But yeah I’m all for bug fixes
some of the bugs, e.g. combo point refunds can be delayed by up to 3 seconds when playing with replicating shadows
Yeah, which feels awful
DS suffers from cdr problems, it is why trickster is in general more fun to play
outside of that, we have a lot of mediocre or bad talents
I exclusively play trickster because it feels very fun
but agreed, many talents are either weak, badly designed, or their intended interactions are bugged
and pathing is odd in some places
Odd? We have like one, maybe two viable paths. 
The whole thing has felt more or less abandoned besides swapping dust with perception
since 10.2
well supercharger made the spec playable
there’s just way too many minor and major issues for it to be as good as it really could be
ie more than 30 people want to play it
did they change something with the first boss of mythic? i did 2.1m dmg but the logs show a grey parse....
the adds do not count
when di they chnge that o.O
Ever since they made that change, adds take surprisingly long to die 😛
Before the change they got instagibbed
no
tbh the change ended up better than assumed, the current version is fun
I more so mean the entire rest of the spec tree
there's been quite a few pain points with it that haven't been addressed since the 10.2 rework
and before that
many of the talents ended up already bad/outdated in the very first iteration of the tree
it just happens that the dev team felt diffrently and found other specs/classes more in need of attention/change
Right, which is why it feels abandoned
because it was only partially iterated on before attention was given elsewhere
and the followup has been very piecemeal; supercharger + death perception was a good change, but there's still alot of work to be done
the problem was so many bugs
so rather than trying to make sub good, bugfixes took priority
on top of that, the attention was shared between assassiantion and subtlety
and comparing how many talents got changes/iterations, you can argue sub wasn't that much of a focus
precisely
but i am not complaining, as mentioned sub is fun
which is probably more than you can ask for
also if i would look at rogue atm
Yeah, I'm not saying sub isn't fun. Just that my biggest gripe has been bugs that are still around
i would rly want to rework killing spree
and how those bugs affect the tree
the spell is core to one of the hero talents and so outdated i am still surprised it unchanged
Meanwhile pack leader for hunter is getting its third rework
dark ranger another update
priest healing specs
shaman updates
it's hard not to feel ignored
I think play rate palys a central factor
Oh for sure
hence why paladin gets new toys constantly
(ignoring blizz's beef with holy paladin)
it makes sense why assassiantion was intentionally tuned so high
and why it recived so many talent updates comparably
at least it is my theory
subtlety seems to be seen as "good enough" to keep in the current state
That makes sense though, if sub got that kind of tuning and influx of players I'd assume we'd see a bit more dev time
More eyes on the spec
Sub pops up on the Wowhead weekly raid charts and folks don't question much
sub is now tuned rly good
I'd argue its the barrier for entry vs sin
so nothing to complain, being in the position of doing good damage is not the time to get feedback heard
bc sub is seen as way more difficult to pick up
for what its worth, i hope we see more changes in 11.1
but i don't rly know if we do, e.g. the tier set is only rly remotely interssting on sub
Even if they just give a prospectus on how they feel sub is doing currently and if they have any future plans
like they have for a lot of other specs
and this probably means the dev focus will be on tier set rather than the specs
From what I've seen there's a lot of unhappiness around tier sets
and after that, there might be problems which affect more people on sin/outlaw
which is justifiable imo
idk my tinfoil hat hopes for a big set of new patch notes with ptr release
i mean, it is possible
blizz isn't the company where transparence is a high priority
so what is in the works is always seemingly super secret
I mean to a point that's true
but if you look at the patch notes that came out for 11.1 ptr so far there's sections of why they're making the changes they are or aren't making for some classes/specs
even if they said something along the lines of "we're happy with sub's current performance in raid and mythic plus so changes aren't likely to be coming with 11.1" it would make a very big difference in perception
instead of the dooming into the void we have now
it might be that the team/person working on rogue has not finalized changes
Which would be totally fine
if that was communicated
iirc that kind of thing has been the case previously
I'm 100% okay with having information even if its to say "changes incoming, stay tuned"
If they do I'm quitting lmao
No stat ones, just damage
there's a pair that do a single instance of damage on a 1.5min cd
Cleft has a minecart one and I think priory has another?
wait meadery
its a bee bomb I think
Isn't the priory the one with that trinket that gives stats too?
But I think that one's 2 or 3 mins
That's 2min
Yes that
Cinderbrew and Cleft have 1.5min on-use but they just do damage once
I generally don't like those tbh
Same
mandate is interesting to a degree bc you can snipe with it
but if its just like Dreadfire Vessel again I'm not excited
I like when I do my damage
I don't rly like to set expectations high, we had too high ones for 10.2 and further when what we got ended up mostly small changes and often changes which did not improve the status quo
Oh my expectations are subterranean at this point
My only real hope atm is that the stacking damage from the tier set is a rate that makes it not feel awful if you get reset going into cd's
or encourages degenerate finisher gameplay loops to preserve it
i hope realz or whoever is in charges of change is willing to discuss things
100%
it was very, very nice when he would pop in here and discuss
He's been in Fel Hammer lately
here and there
but he kinda did not do that since Dragonflight, so chances are fairly low
Yeah, I'm not holding out much hope
but again, the latest changes ended up positive
the gameplay loop atm is fine even with some problems
I think current trickster basic gameplay loop is very good, arguably one of the best feeling dps specs while in cooldowns
and I'm perfectly fine with having high peaks and low valleys
Having the bit of flexibility we do in the absence of dust makes the spec feel good, as good as it could without dust
I do miss triple sectech though
wdym you miss sectech
being able to triple sectech as trickster
Same, I was a fan
but the current baseline is a lot easier to understand, and the game moves towards that
For sure, no boss-specific spreadsheets needed for new players
Yeh
But dust was fun to play
it was, but also hard
the design goal is simplicity it seems, so dust is a problem and it made sense to just remove it instead of keeping it in a form
the game as is has too much complexity thats not needed
dust was not one of it, but still a problem
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Woulda been fine if it only worked on defensices imo. It was a nice little niche for the spec
Like 1.5 min cloak vs 2 etc etc
i did like the idea of compressing cooldowns into a short window
not only defensives
i still think the current version of sub is unique enough to stand out
on a diffrent note, i wonder how many rogues farmed or bought the new glyph
bro I'd love the ashvane one
the animation for that is so sick
my gf farmed the recipie on her rogue, its a shame its only lootable with the right profession
that's the only one that changes the animation right?
yeah that's what I've heard
gives it like an "azerite" flash/glow
Which profession?
inscription I think
inscription
Does the rogue need to farm it, or is it just a pattern
you can just throw up a work order
I’ve got a scribe so I’d just farm it
you need to be rogue too, but no need to farm rly. Can just put in a crafting order to someone who has it.
theres a new glyph? lmfao
Regarding this, I think it doesn’t really work in wow as a game. Would require a lot of dev time to polish it into something interesting and unique. (Get another 2 min trinket and it’s back to being spreadsheet)
But dev time isn’t so cheap so eh
i think it's just for outlaw pistols(?)
Oh! Then it’s not a rogue one 
Ff. False hopes.
Thought sub rog got a glyph
yes, for outlaw tho
there is no new glyph in ba sing he
plunderstorm is coming in 2 weeks ?
Ye
I hope its not a 1:1 copy but with some changes
i think they said they are gonna hae new spells
Yeah, and new rewards
Pretty sure you’ll also be able to queue from the PvP menu in game so you don’t have to log out.
jokes on u if u thinkim logging in
been void elf for a while. Went worgen to try them out
Pistol Shot glyphs
glyph of pedro
is the 10 ppm for the new 2pc new? I don't remember seeing that in the spell data before
get on we're farming 16s right now
It’s 10 rppm? That’s roughly 4 -5 stacks per dance cadence. Hmm
Bro im playing league! I’m 250 lp away from GM
but how're you going to sweat out several points of IO over the course of 12 hours of gameplay in league
unless i accidently made that make sense

Bro IO is fake. LP IS FOR EVER
jk they’re both fake!
It was friends we made along the way surely
gold is also fake
so is money
dear god what are we doing here
irl is fake
TRUEEEE
Next thing you’ll tell me is even friends we made along the way are fake….
They are
they are
Reality shattered
wtf is that
LE photoshopping things
Nope
Frfr
my friends
Only pfp I’ve ever had on discord was a picture of me and gf, and a picture of Ana de aramas
