yea sub is quite easy

molten citrus
#

are you saying this sarcastically? or

leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

unless you get griefed by the tank you kinda use cds on cd

hazy breach
#

Brother i watched your stream for like 5 minutes earlier today when you were yappin, sure seems like its hard

hazy breach
molten citrus
#

ok

random hare
#

not knowing how the spec works doesnt mean its hard

#

what are u smoking

alpine wraith
#

one thing you can do on sub is actually PLAN your cds and overuse if you want

random hare
molten citrus
#

it's def harder than it was in SL

alpine wraith
#

like nothing stops you from sending extra dances or SoD etc

#

if the pull warrants it

leaden prairie
#

ok but in sl it was litteraly the easiest spec in the game

#

by far

random hare
#

i literally just played sub for the first time since 1 year

alpine wraith
#

that is super cool in my mind

random hare
#

and only played sub on tindral all of DF

leaden prairie
#

i mean bro

random hare
leaden prairie
#

sub in sl

#

💀

alpine wraith
#

on outlaw or assa i cant do anything to help beyond my cds

random hare
#

and got a r1 there cuz it was braindead

#

cds scripted

#

2 button rotation

molten citrus
dusty totem
#

How do you get max ilvl weapons on ptr? or can u not

random hare
#

irrelevant

#

ilvl scales on ptr

molten citrus
leaden prairie
#

you didnt even have sec tech no ?

#

in sl

molten citrus
random hare
#

u cant use cheating gear from previous expansions tho

#

on ptr

leaden prairie
#

it was litteraly just press flag

random hare
#

doesnt scale anymore

leaden prairie
#

and bp ss forever

#

no cp refund

#

just spam

#

2 buttons perma

random hare
molten citrus
#

cp refund was just different

leaden prairie
#

were you even pressing rupture

random hare
#

it just wasn't worth playing

#

it did so low dps

molten citrus
#

from shadow tech

random hare
#

so we never picked it

leaden prairie
#

thats not cp refund

molten citrus
leaden prairie
#

you press ss you get full cps everytime

#

litteraly ireelevant in m+ idk

random hare
#

i think secret tech did almost same dmg as blackpowder

#

in SL

#

xdd

tropic nimbus
#

PV big backstab dmg was fun

leaden prairie
#

sub definiyly the most omegalul m+ spec in sl

#

no cap

molten citrus
#

ye sec tech wasn't tuned well

random hare
molten citrus
random hare
#

guess when it became hard zac

#

LOL

#

in s3 i think

#

blackpowder had 15% chance to give full cp

#

basically ace

leaden prairie
random hare
#

and people were crying

lilac stag
random hare
#

about how hard it became

#

because of ace procs on blackwpoder

leaden prairie
#

or like a grandma with only one hand

random hare
leaden prairie
#

mouse clicking

random hare
#

u literally could play sub mouseclicking tho

molten citrus
leaden prairie
#

no wae man

#

!

#

no wae

molten citrus
#

brother

random hare
#

outlaw was mega easy too apart from bonespike build

#

and deathly shit

molten citrus
#

turn off the zoomer brain aneurism for like

#

5 minutes

#

!!

random hare
#

well outlaw had lower gcd

#

nvm

leaden prairie
random hare
#

it was one of the hardest

leaden prairie
#

with er dust etc

#

outlaw was easy when it played flag bb

#

dumb build

alpine wraith
#

kyrian outlaw was fun with dust

random hare
#

wait what was easy i think bm hunter is always easy

leaden prairie
random hare
#

sub was mega braindead and it probably still is

leaden prairie
#

zeross

#

you know whats braindead

random hare
#

s3 DF sub was super easy

molten citrus
leaden prairie
#

you

random hare
#

fight me

#

zac

#

guess what made sub hard in SL

#

echoing reprimand on st

leaden prairie
random hare
#

rest was finish at x amount of cp

#

thats it

#

rest was press sinister strike without AR

acoustic lodge
#

Man, i miss DF season 2 sub

molten citrus
random hare
#

thats it

vestal escarp
#

Day 3 of snapping zac and zeross back to reality

leaden prairie
#

wanna fight or

random hare
lilac stag
random hare
#

guys when u see eleem again can u ask him if ptr sub changed in rotation

leaden prairie
#

ye cause so many things changed for sub on ptr

#

like uh

#

and

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

nah nothing changes on rotation

leaden prairie
#

also !

molten citrus
#

don't think we can know that without sims but yeh

tropic nimbus
random hare
#

and

#

also !

narrow night
#

is the tierset on the ptr working? i am perma stuck at 10 stacks and dont even lose them when i remove the tier

random hare
#

then u have to

#

and

leaden prairie
#

there is one thing tho zero

#

oh actually

#

i dont think this actually changes anyuthing

#

nvm

alpine wraith
leaden prairie
#

you know blades benefit sec tech now

#

but i think the clones are so delayed

random hare
leaden prairie
#

you still press blades after

lilac stag
random hare
#

so

#

u cant abuse it

leaden prairie
#

idk

random hare
#

also

#

u do lose those stacks sometimes

#

in keys

alpine wraith
#

as long as you use blades 0.4 secs before clones hit they will benefit yes

random hare
#

u dont perma stay 10

alpine wraith
#

same as all server tick dependant things

narrow night
random hare
#

well ur not lucky

#

its just how it works

alpine wraith
#

it is just a bug that happened on some chars

random hare
#

it always stays 10 stacks but if u track it u may notice it can happen once a key

#

that it drops low

#

then goes back to 10

#

idk what causes it yet

#

may be just the dungeon

narrow night
#

ok just wanna know if the buff works or not

random hare
#

some dungeons i felt like i never went below 10

hazy breach
#

It does work

random hare
#

or is that 4pc

#

only

hazy breach
#

The 4p works

lilac stag
#

Eleem can you tell zeross all the rational changes in 11.1 please. Trashpandascheme

hazy breach
#

2p doesnt work on shadowed finishers

random hare
#

i see Zerossthinking

#

we dont have shadow finishers tho @leaden prairie does that change our rotation? Zerossthinking

leaden prairie
#

why are you asking me

molten citrus
leaden prairie
#

im confused

random hare
#

hi confused zac

alpine wraith
#

ahahaha

random hare
#

how are you

leaden prairie
#

last i seriously played sub

#

in m +

#

was in sl

#

s2 i think

#

or was it s3

alpine wraith
#

s3+ was gamba season

#

likely before

leaden prairie
#

i played outlaw since then

#

sub only in raid

random hare
#

s3 sub was fun ngl

leaden prairie
#

why you asking me

#

bozo

alpine wraith
#

i hated that tier set but it would be fun yes

lilac stag
#

S3 sub was shit

random hare
#

i enjoyed it

alpine wraith
#

i love having 0 agency on my dmg

random hare
#

especially with cache trinket

#

omgomgom

#

@leaden prairie dude if cheating trinkets still worked

#

i would've used cache

#

20%+ of my dps fr fr

alpine wraith
#

blademasters would be sillier

#

that shit did more dmg than all cds combined

random hare
#

nah that thing got fixed years ago

#

does 0 dps on ptr

alpine wraith
#

i meant at its time

random hare
#

ye

#

at its time

#

it was

#

holy fucking fuck

#

like

#

4x of power of 1 trinket

alpine wraith
#

wonder if they will ever make soul cap great again

random hare
#

theres a trinket thats stronger than transmitter and has mainstat too

#

there are stronger btw

#

than blademasters

#

i researched alot on cheating items

alpine wraith
#

assurance of consecuence and hollow toxin were omegasilly

random hare
#

strongest 2 trinkets in the game are those

#

sec

alpine wraith
#

how about 57% CDR on your main cd?

#

or 360% dmg on ambush

#

dont think many come close

#

soul cap was good because it procced on pull too

random hare
#

those 2

#

omg

#

i used them on ptr

#

i ended 1st boss of theater of pain at 10 million dps on sin rogue

#

its that broken

#

lmao

alpine wraith
#

pvp trinkets used to be quite decent

#

sad they underbudget those now

random hare
#

dude

#

do u understand

#

what 10m end of fight means

#

lemme check how much casual did on sub

#

on that boss

molten citrus
#

like on live

lilac stag
#

Rarely

molten citrus
#

ik ret used the badge in sl at some point

random hare
#

here

lilac stag
#

Pve trinkets have to be total garbo

random hare
#

4m

#

only

#

i did 10m

#

but i had other cheating items too

#

like the legendary boots in legion

#

3 sockets

#

and few busted shit

#

so i kinda doubled everyone's dps on ptr

#

was fun

#

theres a trinket that still works tho

#

i dont think the one who fixed cheating gear knows

#

gives perma 10k agility

#

insane

alpine wraith
#

they go off their way to underbudget them

random hare
#

oh ye i was using azerite gear too

#

azerite gear gave 2x agility of 1 item

#

neck didnt work tho sadly

molten citrus
#

i just don't know much about pre sl/post wrath

#

sl s1 you could get them to actual max ilvl

#

iirc they were even a decent option for rogue, just not bis or anything

alpine wraith
#

yea they were kinda in lvl with dungeon trinks

#

last time i used a pvp trink was in bfa for double on use

#

how many years ago was that actually?

molten citrus
#

it's been just over 4yr since sl launch iirc

#

nov 2020

alpine wraith
#

so 6 years

#

time flies

molten citrus
#

yep

random hare
#

man

#

my sin gear was mega broken

#

i wish old gear still worked on ptr

tribal blade
#

what exactly is not working on our new tier, i don't know specifics, just that it's not working

molten citrus
#

it's mostly working

alpine wraith
#

only thing that does not work is the amp on shadowed finishers

#

everything else is working rn

molten citrus
#

for some people it isn't dropping stacks

#

but that's a net positive bug afaik

alpine wraith
#

yea that is more of a char bug

#

than a tier one

tribal blade
#

not dropping stacks SHEEEESH

hazy breach
#

Ye the stacks arent dropping correctly is the main thing

#

Either they dont drop at all or they drop per hit instead of per cast

#

2p Not buffing shadowed finishers is kinda expected

#

Seeing as pretty much nothing in deathstalker buffs it

tribal blade
#

wonderful

#

so if the new tier doesn't buff shadowed finishers it's basically only buffing sectec at least for trickster

dense torrent
#

If stacks were dropping correctly what would be the impact?

alpine wraith
#

well problem is things like hunt them down mark etc are being buffed

#

so trickster still takes a big L

#

hitting it when its down even

molten citrus
tribal blade
#

blizz trying to force us to play DS yet again

#

disgusting

alpine wraith
#

they really dont like trickster

#

made it aids for outlaw

#

then when it seems fine on sub

#

hit the buff button for DS

#

i mean DS in itself seems a cool thematic right in the heads of people that dont play

#

you have these mark that you pop and do big dmg then a big finisher to end it

iron crane
#

If anyone could share their keybinds for pvp with their sublety rogue, I'd be very grateful. Just looking for ideas. Thanks!

alpine wraith
#

but then forget dance cdr exists

dense torrent
#

I don’t mind DS, been ripping it as sin

alpine wraith
#

like oh whoops teheee

#

yea only problem as sub is the mark bug and the lacking cdr

#

DS in itself does nothing special

#

although marks and other things hit like a truck after so many buffs

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

i forgot about the 2pc

#

sometimes brain just not be working so well

brisk onyx
alpine wraith
#

it goes hand in hand with DN not buffing shadowed evis

#

likely the one that worked on the krangle as F that was shadowed evis in legion left for better pastures

#

and left some premium spaget

#

he was like one last act of defiance

#

and made all that code in arameo

tribal blade
#

would be cool if they just leaned into the shadow fantasy of sub and make all finishers do pure shadow dmg

alpine wraith
#

i would not mind FW only working inside dance the talent itself is a joke rn

#

or having two FW the normal one for phys things and an empowered one for dance that works with shadow things

tribal blade
#

yeah FW going back to it's original design would be cool

#

it doesn't really serve an interesting purpose right now

alpine wraith
#

the uptime is too big so it cant be powerful

tribal blade
#

you don't notice when it's active, it just serves to annoy when you don't have it active

alpine wraith
#

but also shadowed finishers exist

#

i kinda lowkey hate that talent for some years now

#

i have given up on the split dmg things tho

tribal blade
#

could be a good 2 for 1 change, change shadowed finishers and then they're free to change FW

alpine wraith
#

seems someone is really scared of big numbers at blizz

#

every time the big dmg also comes in frost it gets nerfed to oblivion

#

and people get steered to spamming icelance again

#

same as arcane with big barrages

tribal blade
#

i guess massive hits are an issue when pvp exists

alpine wraith
#

or frost dk with big olbiterates

#

pvp already has the big hits nerfed by like 70 to 80%

#

since so long ago

#

likely sub gets another nef in pvp

#

week 1

tribal blade
#

yeah it's kinda funny seeing how much some spells are nerfed in pvp

alpine wraith
#

and some specs

#

enha had a -49% aura for the longest time

tribal blade
#

jesus

alpine wraith
#

dont worry fury warrior and others are the same i just dont keep up as much now on pvp

#

i dont really play it since sl

#

kinda like watching sometimes but not much more

molten citrus
#

even DN caught like a -66% nerf this season

alpine wraith
#

er reverb

#

also had a -80%

molten citrus
#

yeh

#

i'm very close to quitting pvp to go back to pve

alpine wraith
#

sub also had a big problem for blizz because of shadowy duel

#

and even now they have deleted it

molten citrus
#

rogue stays catching Ls in pvp design lately

alpine wraith
#

you could never let sub have decent damage alone because of that talent

#

because it let people have checkmate situations

#

so now what you have as sub is omegacoordination

molten citrus
#

its funny because

alpine wraith
#

or a game of uno where you play cards and the others reply

molten citrus
#

a good player doesn't die to just duel

alpine wraith
#

until you can get a +8 on the,m

#

yea duel was just the finisher

#

you still had to make all of their others cds and cross cc the others

#

but blizz say NONON

#

and well there were also things that never got fixed like MM rapid fire

#

or aff raptures going through it

valid sundial
#

Hello fellow Subtlety rogues. How are we looking next season?

hazy breach
#

Pretty much nothing has changed

#

So fairly good ig

valid sundial
#

Nice

alpine wraith
#

it can only be better

#

numbers we hit about to be big

#

only issue is we have no idea how other classes/specs are

#

so for now im happy bugs got fixed

valid sundial
#

Oh yeah thats true. Isn't tier tuning suppose to be happening soon?

alpine wraith
#

who knows

#

someone said this one was tagged as release candidate

#

so likely patch is less than 1 month away some speculate maybe march 4 or 1x

weary saffron
#

i'm just excited to take replicating shadows without hating myself

alpine wraith
#

if i knew how to edit well i could go through my videos in m+ and just make a slideshow of my face every time i mess up because of the bug

valid sundial
#

What was the bug exactly?

tribal blade
#

you were basically losing entire finishers to it

valid sundial
#

Jeebs

#

How long was that a thing?

tribal blade
#

since the rework in DF

#

so a long time

valid sundial
#

Well at least it's fixed now

#

I know the adr bug is fixed next patch but unfortunately it's a patch too late for me

rocky ocean
tribal blade
#

but it's less bad

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

It can also delay the proc

rocky ocean
#

spaghetti code

swift tinsel
#

Is the tier set working normally now? Saw the line taken out of the most recent pin about it being bugged

molten citrus
#

yes and no

#

for some people it's still perma stacks

swift tinsel
#

Did the fix the shadow amp or is that still scuffed

molten citrus
#

everything else works

#

except

#

the 2pc doesn't work on shadowed finishers

swift tinsel
#

Progress

valid sundial
#

Pressing stealth while subterfuge is up makes adr tick down

stuck linden
#

Oh yeah

tribal blade
#

i showed a warr on my raid team our bugs list the other day

#

and his exact words were "what the fuck is going on with your class"

alpine wraith
#

well a lot of them got fixed surprisingly

hardy snow
#

tier seems rolled back to an early version?

swift tinsel
#

?

#

sounds like its the most functional version that we've had atm

molten citrus
#
  • some people are still experiencing perma stacks
  • if not perma stacks, multiple hits clear stacks (BP)
  • 2pc not working with shadowed finishers
#

i think that's it

swift tinsel
#

slow and steady

#

I'm really curious why only some people are getting perma-stacks

hardy snow
#

ok

#

i saw a 0.1 internal cd on it

#

not sure if this 0.1s icd made mess

molten citrus
hardy snow
#

do we pre symbol before pull? i forgot

lilac stag
#

Yes

tribal blade
#

just press it after a wipe every time

lilac stag
#

How are you doing @tribal blade ?

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

Decent. Bad migraine all day. Streamers in here kept me entertained.

tribal blade
#

damn 😦

#

sorry to hear that

lilac stag
#

Thx. Kinda out of nowhere.

tribal blade
#

i've never honestly even had a bad headache ever i don't think

#

nothing that would bother me much

lilac stag
#

You are blessed

tribal blade
#

haha maybe blessed in the realm of headaches

#

not so much in other areas

median mesa
#

which sub guide is the most up to date?

alpine wraith
#

there have been no changes lately so all of them are kinda up there

#

wonder what date is mine even

#

some months ago i think

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Rs bug being fixed does not make finality a dead talent

steel zinc
#

No I meant because of finality the tier set counts rupture Ticks as finisher

#

Like with assa when it was bugged

hazy breach
#

Finality has nothing to do with that

#

And tier doesnt interact with rupture in any way

#

So i have no idea what you are talking about

steel zinc
#

Yeah I know. Nvm I mixed it up with sin. Mb

#

Sorry

random hare
#

4m overall in workshop +12 HELLAWICKED

#

im getting the hang of this spec now

#

holy cow

random hare
#

sub rogue is so op in that key

#

the downtime is insane

#

u can fuck the key's ass so hard with 1.5 min cds

tribal blade
#

are people still doing the strat of the tank soloing the first room

random hare
#

not yet

hazy breach
#

Didnt they add tons of extra mobs to that room

#

Or did i missread

random hare
#

yea they did

#

maybe they even fixed the solo tech i havent see someone do it yet

hazy breach
#

Ye i assume the intent of that change was to prevent that, but maybe it still works

random hare
#

tanks matter so fucking much for sub's overall dps

#

its crazy

#

its like

#

each second ur waiting on ur cd

#

thats alot of dps gone from ur overall

hazy breach
#

Yes

minor trout
#

dear sub friends, i'm trying to get back into subRogue, should we ever press Secret Technique outside of dance? wowhead and icyveins state it differently ^^ wowhead says we use secret technique even without dance if we have symbols up

#

in single target

hazy breach
#

But its a very minor gain

#

And if you dont do it properly you lose a lot

minor trout
#

so better just send during dance while praciticing until i get a feeling for it

hazy breach
#

Absolutely

minor trout
#

thanks Surebud

hazy breach
#

Although i suspect it will not be worth to use outside dance next patch with new tier

#

We'll see. Tier should be in simc very soon so we can get some more definite answers

tribal blade
#

yeah makes sense considering we lose the +20% sectec dmg and +16% finisher during symbols

vestal escarp
#

🤞pls robot make us spam rupture outside dance Prayge

hazy breach
#

It could still be worthwhile in a lot of situations

#

Before a burst phase or a big important pack you definitely want to have the stacks ready

tribal blade
#

i can imagine a general rule will be stop using evis/bp X seconds out from dance

lilac stag
#

Not like you really have energy to use anything outside of CDs

hazy breach
#

On aoe you have quite a bit more

#

But ye

lilac stag
#

perma 10 stacks is silly

#

The energy drink trinket seems to have a good bit of uptime

vestal escarp
#

Because on the mass iterations robot can press evis outside and not lose it for example

#

Gamba tier set ffs Laughge

hazy breach
#

I mean the gamba flavour is on point

#

Do you gamba for more damage but risk losing the stacks or do you play it safe?

lilac stag
#

Outlaw tier it is.

minor trout
#

as trickster should i first spread ruptures before entering cds? or if pack is stacked directly enter when i have rupture on main target^^

hazy breach
#

Generally spread while the pack is gathering ye

#

And if its all stacked just send asap

vestal escarp
#

Challenge: buff rupture without breaking ST

echo magnet
#

Yo quick question I see on wowhead it says to use shadow blades right after secret techniques why is this?

chrome palm
#

Shadow blades is currently bugged and doesn’t buff secret technique, this is fixed on PTR though

echo magnet
#

Ah so next patch we just macro shadow blades in with everything else? peepoLike2

chrome palm
#

PogO what’s everything else

#

I imagine you macro it with trinket next tier though hard to say

echo magnet
#

Symbols and shadow dance

fallow nimbus
#

Probably just like now

#

Premed is still there and the secret clones are still delayed

#

Maybe trickster can use secret as 2nd finisher again but DS is too tight with cdr for that

hazy breach
#

So using blades together with the other spells is effectively "wasting" one second of blades

leaden prairie
#

Eleem i have a question

#

would you press blades before sec tech or for the next gcd

hazy breach
#

And sectech initial hit doesnt do that much damage anyway, so you can delay it 2 seconds without losing much

leaden prairie
#

would pressing it for the next gcd work on the clones

#

2 s zerossthinking

hazy breach
#

2s compared to the dance/symbols

leaden prairie
#

how long after are the sec tech hit tho

#

clones i mean

hazy breach
#

1 and 1.3

vale pine
#

^ also why you don't want to secret last gcd in dance

restive briar
#

Does energy outside of dance windows feel very sad or am I just bad

uneven scarab
#

nope thats sub rogue

restive briar
#

Oki doki so I am not that terrible

vale pine
fallow nimbus
#

Secret should snap dmg amps, just saying kekw

restive briar
uneven scarab
#

nah we have 0 energy/damage outside of cd’s

strange compass
#

Anyone else feel like Outlaw's Crackshot/Vanish CDR gameplay loop is what Sub should be?

Also has the Tier set been fixed on PTR yet? just saw that the PTR build is a release candidate and from what I can tell it still doesn't work.

lilac stag
#

Nothing from outlaw needs to be in the sub gameplay

#

Check the pins. Tier still hugged.

strange compass
#

I don't see anything about Nimble fury being 40% even tho the tool tip says 50% so that is probably still there too

lilac stag
#

Nimble is 50

#

Certain training dummies bug out to 40

cobalt edge
#

heya, returning to subrogue - whats the current strat regarding shadow dance/symbols of death usage? i get that first two are used during shadowblades window, but what then? Should i use the next ones as soon as my secret technique comes up?

hazy breach
#

Make sure you have enough for your next blades+flag

cobalt edge
#

still, understandable, ty!

hazy breach
#

But thats usually 1 or two inbetween

#

Typically on a st fight it would be burst > 2 dances > burst > 1 dance > burst > 2 dances > repeat

hazy breach
# cobalt edge oh, i hate it

As for exactly when you use them, it doesnt matter that much but you gotta make sure you have sectech inside each dance+symbols

cobalt edge
#

thanks for that! one more thing, on top logs i see people use cold blood on the second secret technique during the fight, whats the big diff?

uneven scarab
#

second secret tech is more amped in ur cd's due to flag/flawless stacks

#

its a minor gain to use it there

Depending what your raid needs. Assa better boss dmg. Sub better for platforms.

#

i started to do some sub rouge pulls in raid and noticed in my opener sometimes i wasnt able to get my vanish into shadowstrike off because i was insta pulled out of stealth. Is this just skill issue or is there anything i can do to help get this off more consistently

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter that much

#

But wait a bit

foggy geode
dense mountain
#

like wait a bit after my previous evis to press vanish until later in my gcd?

hazy breach
#

ye

dense mountain
#

another thing i didn't understand was during some of my dance windows, after SS my combo points would go 5 then 7 shortly after. is this just a visual bug or is this expected and can be played around?

Or you mean sht fill up but that shouldn't be delayed that much

yo trying sub again for next season. Are we supposed to feel somewhat energy starved between sectech/ dance windows in aoe?

flint parrot
#

thanks a lot brother

molten citrus
thorny kestrel
#

damn, i hate that. so we just chill then during those times. It felt ass to play during downtime

molten citrus
#

ye that's just how sub is

thorny kestrel
#

I take it that's more of a new thing. It didn't feel like that in DF season 2 when last I played i guess

molten citrus
#

rogue has always been an energy based class, but at different times regen has been a bit different

#

but it's not really a new thing no

thorny kestrel
#

right. regen felt better during that time and before it. I stopped playing it after df seas 2, and never felt that energy starved

#

this iteration though, st isn't so bad on the energy starve. it feels less intrusive but on aoe, doh

molten citrus
#

it's pretty much always been slow outside of CDs

#

not sure about how it was particularly in DF, i wasn't doing pve

thorny kestrel
#

yeah at least personally, never felt this energy starved. probably just have to expect it so I don't rage quit

jaunty umbra
#

yea energy felt a lot better before rework

hazy breach
#

Its been the same since amirdrassil

thorny kestrel
#

amir was s3 right

hazy breach
#

But idk it doesnt really matter. I like that the energy is slow outside cds

#

Because it makes it so downtime isnt so punishing

#

As youre not generating that much cdr anyway

thorny kestrel
#

yeah amir was s3, quit in s2 so never felt that

hazy breach
#

Ye in s2 when sub was just purple outlaw

thorny kestrel
#

hell yeeeah, it was so good

hazy breach
#

Ye i sure love backstab being 35% of my damage

thorny kestrel
#

most of my gripe about energy starve is on aoe, so didn't really do much bsing

how is macro usage for dance + SS. and is adding symbols to that a poor decision?

tropic nimbus
hazy breach
lilac stag
#

I’ll check again later

#

I want to mess with the energy drink more as well

rocky mortar
#

do you just dance + backstab if you wanna macro it? though that's a really big hit. even if it's guaranteed find weakness

#

at least it feels like it'd be a big hit

hazy breach
#

Dance+shadowstrike macro does not work anymore

#

You dont want to backstab in dance

alpine wraith
#

yep that macro got killed in df

rocky mortar
#

just tested it, and it looks like it used it :(.

alpine wraith
#

if you press it more than once it works

rocky mortar
#

it was workign pressed once :(.

alpine wraith
#

kinda interesting although i would not use it

hazy breach
#

Not always

rocky mortar
#

curious why. if you get full cp coming out of dance. you'd wanna dump energy > dance right? or are you using dance > evis > SS > evis to try and fit more under dance?

#

ya symbols not being pared doesn't really bother me

#

it's more the dance .> SS and dance > evis where I can't hit them back to back fast enough reliably

tepid trellis
#

you have quite a bit of leeway

#

as long as you arent a whole ass second late

rocky mortar
#

ss + dance macro works but inconsistently. so ya not an option

lilac stag
#

The sooner you don’t rely on macros as sub, the smoother the spec plays.

rocky mortar
#

it's more the hitting dance + symbols + SS. or dance + evis i have difficulty doing over a long fight consistently.

#

hands get tired lol.

lilac stag
#

there’s always assa.

#

Or work on better keybind locations.

alpine wraith
#

yea try to goup them together

#

or do the old 12345

#

i have used my binds too long now but there could be better places for sure for mine

hazy breach
#

Atleast you can rest your hand between dances shrugeg

rocky mortar
#

ya assa i tend to use in raid most the time. . . but odly I prefer sub in dungeons. . . assa has a lot to do for their AoE

hazy breach
#

But ye possible you have keybinds that are straining too much if theyre too far apart but idk

rocky mortar

very possible

So I just ran a 12 ToP on PTR with a Sub Rogue that was absolutely shitting on everything. Could someone please explain what on earth was going on? LOL

hazy breach
#

Tier set stacks cant drop/fall off for some characters

spark tusk
#

Only for some?

#

That seems very strange

hazy breach
#

shrugeg Ive seen clips and stream where people have it perma, but my characters have it drop of (it drops of more than it should too fwiw)

#

Ive heard before about old ptr spell data messing with stuff

nimble spade
#

Oh

#

So that's why there was a Sub doing like 13M in some pulls

#

Got it. Unfortunate

hazy breach
#

Well it doesnt really make the burst bigger

#

It just makes you do like 800k outside burst instead of 400k kekdog

nimble spade
#

But yeah, dude was absolutely shitting out damage

#

Almost timed the 12

hazy breach
#

Ye spec is good

nimble spade
#

I'm messing with all the PTR tanks and I was like "god damn, people were too busy talking about the blue class and Boomkin"

hazy breach
#

The spec is very very solid on live already, slightly weaker than assa. And the only changes for next tier is a better tier set and some bugfixes so shrugeg

nimble spade
#

Well, I'd imagine the bugfixes are a substantial gain, no?

hazy breach
#

Like 2-3%

#

So not really

alpine wraith
#

most of it is not wanting to pull out your nails

#

helps a lot

nimble spade
hazy breach
#

I didnt say it was nothing

nimble spade
#

No, I know

#

Just saying that 2-3% is pretty substantial

hazy breach
#

The tier set bug is more than that

alpine wraith
#

it is more the tier set reaffirms our dmg window to be even stronger

#

so even if the overall dps is not hugely impactful overall vs other classes

#

if something needs to die fast

#

we are there

Why is his computer in the closet

alpine wraith

rent so high you live in someone else's closet

shrewd grail
#

Do we have diff % dps between trickster / ds as sub in aoe already ?

hazy breach
#

About the same rn on live. Shouldnt be much different on ptr

shrewd grail
#

Kk cause sometimes i pull so much higher with ds maybe cause tierset bugg i guess

hazy breach
#

Could be that youre not playing them optimally too

#

Playing deathstalker aoe optimally is horrendously unfun, so wouldnt recommend

shrewd grail
#

Yeah im also learning so probably Tons of mistakes

lilac stag
#

Eleem did you ever run a sim seeing the difference of ignoring FW from Storm as second builder in dance on 5+ targets (basically just strike BP after Sectech/coup)

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

You wouldnt BP without the storm

#

So the loss is very very big once you get to higher pull counts, but i dont remember the exact difference at 5, probaby like 1.5-2% or so

It’s actually hilarious how much better the cp refund feels with RS on the ptr

Hello. I just started WoW and started with subtltey rogue and grinded out till ilvl 622 and I'm struggling keeping up on damage with a lot of other classes and even the tank. i'm sure I'm hitting my rotations well. When I burn all my cds, I'm getting only about 700k. Is sub just week right now or are these average numbers and we just bring other things to the table like multiple interrupts and shroud plays?

weary saffron
#

what is said rotation

hazy breach
#

Sub keeps up with dps, but its fairly complicated and punishing if you make mistakes

sand monolith
#

The ones on Icy Vein

#

I read the three guides here

weary saffron
#

700k sounds like something is goin wrong

#

you should be able to single target something as trickster in 622 gear and do well over that, without any of the incindental aoe

sand monolith
#

I'd say it peaks around 1.1mil but once the cds start dropping off, it gets to about 700k yeah. Maybe 800k

#

Single target on training dummies

#

The only thing I'm not doing is doing a vanish SS in my rotation since I feel like that might be a bit wasteful on vanish

sullen hare
#

There's a reason we vanish

weary saffron
#

sub definitely keeps up with other classes though

sand monolith
#

How much dps are people here getting on training dummies and at what ilvl?

hazy breach
#

The easiest way to identify if youre doing anything wrong is logging and analyzing the logs

#

And either posting them here hoping somebody can take a look at them and help or compare your casts and percentages to another log

slate lantern
#

Eleem is your rotation video unlisted? Or is YouTubes search just that bad, cause I always have trouble finding it even when I search "Eleem subtlety rogue"

hazy breach
#

Its not delisted no

#

Idk why it wouldnt show up, probably just not enough veiws shrugeg

weary saffron
#

damn way to tell him hes upopular

sullen hare
#

Normal kyveza is just about as close as you're gonna get to a patchwerk

#

Also it's a drunk raid so by the time we get to kyveza I've had a few drinks

sand monolith
#

You had 1.6 million dps on Kyveza??

#

wtheck

iron crane
#

I'm leveling up my rogue and somehow sinister strike has gone missing. It's not in my action bar and I don't see it in the spellbound. does it just go away at a certain level? I'm at 17

#

in the spellbook

sand monolith
#

My numbers are with no consumable buff so no food buff, potions etc but even then, I can't imaging dps just doubling

hazy breach
iron crane
#

gotcha

#

thanks

slate lantern
random hare
#

I think those were one of my very first keys on sub

I didnt know what i was pressing

#

Would probably double that dps by now

Oh idc about the numbers was just funny to see you in a tiktok on my fyp kekdog

random hare
#

Is there a specific mob count where u storm instead of strike on trickster aoe?

tribal blade
random hare
#

Okay

tribal blade
#

and everything will have FW already from 1 storm cast w/ rotten

#

maybe there's a number where it becomes worth, but i imagine it's really high

random hare
#

Is there a mob count to stop striking in aoe for deathstalker and just storm bp? Then strike 1 mob for singular focus and just ignore the mark dmg to fully pump bp dmg? Surely right?

tribal blade
#

DS you can play like old sub aoe with storm>BP

#

first global in dance you can strike to consume premed

#

and build a DM stack

#

then just spam storm>bp

random hare
#

I can ignore darkest night?

strange sail
#

with deathstalker is black powder a prio gain at 3 targets

tribal blade
#

if you mean ignore DN then i don't think you can ignore it, you have to consume to reapply mark

random hare
#

I want to ignore it in big aoe pulls for sure

tribal blade
#

i think you lose too much dropping mark

#

it's why DS is so ass for sub

#

not entirely sure because i just run trickster everywhere

random hare
#

Well I can mark 1 mob

#

And spam bp

#

Im talking like

#

10 mobs kind of shit

#

5 I’ll for sure evisc

tribal blade
#

the problem is once DN procs you don't have mark on the target anymore

#

and you have to evis to reapply mark

random hare
#

U can mark a mob and have DN up tho

slate marlin
#

As ds im pretty sure u bp at 2 targets

tribal blade
#

oh right

random hare
#

It still keeps singular focus going

#

But not mark dmg

#

Don’t think mark dmg is that big is it

#

Besides it’s only funnel dmg right?

tribal blade
#

i think there was some tech about tab targeting and striking a new target

random hare
#

Not aoe

tribal blade
#

so that way you can just keep mark rolling and not deal with DN

random hare
#

But I don’t know how many targets that part becomes bad

tribal blade
#

not sure either

random hare
vale pine
#

what prophet mentioned is only worth on few targets so 2 or 3

#

you don't tab target with a higher amount of mobs

random hare
#

Wait is it 2-3?

vale pine
#

yes

random hare
#

Oh ok and above 3 is storm?

#

Also, is blackpowder on 3 targets with deathstalker more funnel than eviscerate?

#

Idk if u guys simmed that part

#

And what about darkest night in aoe, can I just strike a mob for singular focus and ignore mark until the pack is like 5 mobs?

hollow spear
#

No

#

There's this degenerate target swapping thing to never proc DN

vale pine
hollow spear
#

But afaik you have to consume DN if you play normally

vale pine
#

but don't need to tab target

random hare
#

Not singular focus if u strike a mob while DN is up

#

Shouldn’t be that big of a loss on big aoe pulls

#

Unless eviscerate does some magical pump aoe dmg

leaden prairie
#

It does feel kinda troll to accidentally proc dn in huge AOE

#

And having to spend it ?

tulip gorge
#

I feel like they should change the logic of darkest night to just reapply the mark on the old target if you're using an aoe finisher

leaden prairie
#

btw i have a question

#

say i press strike 2 times in st in dance

#

and i end up with 6 cp and dn

#

do i just kill myself

random hare
#

Yea

#

Wait u won’t strike twice and end up at 6

#

That’s horrible rng

#

U might aswell delete ur charecter at that point

random hare
tulip gorge
#

just vanish 4Head

random hare
#

No ixea

#

4000Head xdd

leaden prairie
#

I ended up with 6 cp in dance sometimes very rarely

#

So ye idk

#

Might be a shuriken storm into strike tho

#

Like the free shuriken storm or whatever

#

Or just a single strike into 6 cp

#

I do feel like killing myself when that happen tho

#

Surely you don't strike for a single cp

tulip gorge
#

this is why most people play trickster

barren wolf
#

if monk is good next tier there might be a chance i prog on it

white briar
leaden prairie
#

Apl is fake

#

Also I do wonder if it was even tested

#

Or if it happen enough to matter

#

Or if maybe it's a mistake from before

#

That makes me end up with 6 cp

#

No I mean I guess you can always end up with 6 with a proc of the cp thingy

#

And then ye idk

vestal escarp
#

Test and happens not often but still happens enough for people to complain

#

Play is still get to 7

keen dome
#

Just gotta have positive thought and will that final combie into existence

vestal escarp
#

In the end it's just the end of a non flag dance

#

So w/e

white briar
#

situational though right? like if it's the last global in a cooldown and your options are build to max or use a finisher under CDs. or no?

vestal escarp
#

The trade off is that if you evis at 6 inside dance and dance ends

#

You still have dn up

#

No mark

#

Sod is over

#

And you're gonna miss a lot of benefits from the mark
