I swapped to rogue so I could use the garf_sit emote in discord.

Hell yeah

manic bison
#

hey! pretty new to the spec and rogue as such. pressing the /cast coldblood/cast secret technique macro doesnt go off despite beeing advertised as such on wowhead. is that a known problem?

#

cb is not on gcd...thats why im curious^^

uneven scarab
#

@lilac stag

#

need the meme

#

@lucid jackal you are absolutely right. thanks mate1

lilac stag
#

We also don’t use the macro

#

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

i think its fine when you start out

#

but if you min/max no macro

lucid jackal
#

I still use the macro Baseg

keen dome
#

Same

swift tinsel
#

same, literally only for 2nd sectech tho

#

need two binds anyways

keen dome
#

It's comfy

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

blasphemy

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

idk if I ever had them macro'd

keen dome
#

I don't really think the CB optimisation does enough for me, at my content level, to justify it. I can be a tiny bit suboptimal as a treat

swift tinsel
#

do you have a naked sectech bind?

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Never, it should be in prison forever

#

It knows what it did

manic bison
#

as a beginner i can see that a naked sectech for situations with no dance but symbole up is good...but in what situation are you using naked dance although symbole is up? why not macro dance+symbol?

swift tinsel
#

bc you don't always press them at the same global

keen dome
#

Because you'll have situations where SecTec won't be up, and you'll want to dance again. But if you have them bound, you'd potentially waste the Symbol charge.

#

And then SecTec won't be getting it, which'll be a big drop

acoustic lodge
#

Is there a reason why we pick gloomblade for ST in raid?

manic bison
#

so using symbol+sectec trumps dance+sectec?

void hound
swift tinsel
#

for deathstalker specifically

tepid trellis
#

thats why there sometimes can be a naked Sectech with a symbols

#

cuz we are pooling for cds to make sure we have 2x dance + 2x symbols for it

manic bison
#

@tepid trellis i get it. that makes total sense!

Not getting invites as a rogue so don’t worry about it. kekw

just play sin, doesn't matter if your damage sucks

you mean the talent most don’t take?

not taking it

also blind dps loss taking shiv for more buttons to press

accurate

#

also don’t press feint if less than 10 ruptures out

feint no need

just use cheat death on cd

I would be very surprised if the sectech thing doesnt get fixed

Coup proccing on the secondary hits im not so sure about

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Well it works like 1/3 of the time

#

So that wouldnt fix it

steel zinc

#

rewrite Sectech to be a single hit

#

Easiest option and best option

twilit phoenix

Sec tech should be millions of tiny hits

But there should be separate clones for all of them

Ban this person

but ninja

keen dome

actually i changed my mind I'm fully on 1 damage = 1 clone

#

60 million clones every SecTec.

That’s what I’m saying bro

Season 2 Info Pin (Updated <t:1742339246:d>)

  • Talents: Trickster Trickster is ahead (~2%) on pure ST and a little bit ahead in aoe. Exactly the same talents as Season 1:
    • ST:CUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM2mBAAAAAgZZMWmGzYMmxYMjHYmZmhxsNMzMbbzMjZmZAjlZbAAAAYGMAGzmhBGYW0CtYDG
      • The singletarget string has improved storm over shadow focus beause shadow focus provides barely 0.1% dmg and if you ever storm its significantly worse.
    • Aoe/M+: CUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM2mBAAAAAgZZMWmGzYmxMzYMDzMjhxsNLGzstNzMmZmBMWmtBAAAgZwAYMbGGYgZRL0iNYA
  • Stats: No Changes (Vers=Mastery > Rest)
  • Embellishments: No Changes. (Lens still best ST)
  • Tier Bonus compared to no tier:
  • 2 piece is 3%
  • 2+4 piece is 13%
  • Generally dont replace your nerubar 4p until you get the new 4p. (but sim yourself to verify, massive ilvl differences can shift things)

Trinkets:

  • House of Cards is BiS everywhere.
  • Second trinket is pretty much just ilvl. Kezan is good on long fights (5m+).
  • If you dont have House of Cards or Transmitter, Prized Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity from PVP (700 conquest) is your best option.

Cyrce's Circlet:

  • Get replaced by a roughly 670 ilvl regular ring.

Rotational changes:

  • TricksterTrickster: Keep using eviscerates up to 6 targets in aoe. So dont start doing 1 storm in dance or BPs until 7 or more targets are present.
  • Deathstalker deathstalker: On aoe (5 or more) you also dont want to use your darkest night during dance, its better to use ShadowStrike to proc mark on a target and continue BlackPowdering until the dance ends, then its worth to use the darkest night eviscerate.
  • Both: Use Backstab during premeditation in ShadowDance for an extra danse macabre stack. (worth ~0.5% dps)

I love trickster

hazy breach
#

Accidently sent it before i finished formatting garf

pliant topaz
sullen hare
errant tinsel
#

don't press finishers for the last 25secs before flagellation? HOLY

pliant topaz
#

one thing i havent checked myself is setting up finality rupture before normal dances if you have more than x stacks of tier. not sure if youve checked that eleem

hazy breach
#

Didnt seem worth

pliant topaz
#

my thought was it should be worth it to setup a finality rupture if you have high enough stacks

#

to also not risk dropping stacks

brisk onyx
#

How to hold on using evis/bp? Spam rupture or just backstab?

willow pawn
#

Warlock doing 48mil first pull. Yah sub tier will expect nerf

hazy breach
#

So do either

#

On Aoe you def want to be using the cps for cdr though

brisk onyx
#

Fine

sly shore
#

just spamming rupture

#

cos I sure as shit ain't rebinding snd

pliant topaz
sly shore
pliant topaz
#
  1. u running finality though, u wnana overwrite that bad boy? kekw
sly shore
#

rupture it is

#

well I can't press evis or bp

#

and not snd

#

so has to be rupture

pliant topaz
#

yep

#

its called "design"

#

LMFAO

sly shore
#

yeah u wouldn't understand, sweaty

pliant topaz
#

yeah my brain too smoll unfortunte

golden totem
#

havent been playing for a couple of month, whats up with pressing evis/bp ?

#

seems fun and interactive

errant tinsel
#

new tier set

uneven scarab
#

so u dont lose tier

errant tinsel
#

we gamble now

tepid trellis
#

we dont

#

thats kinda the whole point

#

of rupturing

uneven scarab
#

sub is anti gambler spec

hazy breach
#
  • A 200k eviscerate
    OR
  • 50% more eviscerate damage and 100% more sectech damage during flag&blades
golden totem
#

interesting

hazy breach
vestal escarp
#

last part of second point

#

IF

uneven scarab
#

IFFFF IT actually works

#

or the 4pc atleast

#

even more dam on that sectech

sly shore
#

just gonna make a weak aura that pastes a huge "RUPTURE ONLY PEASANT" on my screen when flag is 25s or less

uneven scarab
#

need the cod mw2 nuke countdown

#

sound

#

until flag is ready

errant tinsel
#

semantics

hazy breach
#

You can play this too, its simming slightly lower (~0.4%) than the standard but has higher burst

errant tinsel
#

it's interesting design either way

hazy breach
#

Because it misses out on a dance or two in exchange for bigger burst

sly shore
#

This spec is so fucking washed

#

catch me saving my cd's for 30s for captain insane-o burst

golden totem
#

whats ur first feeling with raid on ptr kpb

#

seemsfun?

sly shore
#

it does seem good

hazy breach
#

I mean sure it might seem cursed but i think big number = fun is gonna kick in when its ingame for a lot of people

#

Big bursterman with the nuclear cooldowns

golden totem
#

big burst always fun

vestal escarp
#

some random ass spec is gonna burst higher anyway

#

without cringe pooling

#

BM with pi

sly shore
#

100%

#

but

#

the gameplay is bad and degenerate

#

and I don't think anyone bursts higher than sub rogue rn

#

in new patch

vestal escarp
#

hopefully

golden totem
#

a lot of dmg amp bosses ?

sly shore
tepid trellis
sly shore
#

rather than amps

hazy breach
#

Unless subs overall damage is really really bad i find it really hard to believe we are gonna get outbursted when we have our stacks up (ie not on pull)

#

maybe during BL by one or two classes but outside of that nah

vestal escarp
#

we delaying pot then

#

this was asked before surely

hazy breach
#

Was about the same

#

when i tried in simc

#

(when you are not losing a second trinket)

vestal escarp
#

bad feeling about the 90s flag

#

on the mental load of checking stacks getting into that

jaunty heath
#

How much worse is sending finishers for that 25s?

#

I wonder what that’s gonna look/feel like in keys

hazy breach
#

On average like 1%

#

But again, its 2 eviscerates doing like 200k damage because you have nothing up

#

that risks losing you 50% eviscerate damage and 100% (or ~50% if its still bugged) sectech damage during blades

#

And like 75% of ALL of your damage is during blades

vestal escarp
#

do we have a small number for playing full peach?

#

as in no evis outside dance?

hazy breach
#

That was noticeably worse

#

Like 3-4%

#

But obviously burst is higher since you always have 10 stacks

vestal escarp
#

must be true on a 1000 attempts

hazy breach
#

It stacks up fairly fast anyway

tawdry cypress
#

Hello friends what is best rogue spec on ptr currently

#

For raid

swift tinsel
#

I think I averaged 20 sec to full stack in opener so it jumps relatively fast

vestal escarp
#

unknown, sin is sorting out their big ???

tawdry cypress
#

Really the question is outlaw the best spec by a noticeable margin rn

hazy breach
#

no

tawdry cypress
#

Ty that spec is aids

vestal escarp
#

pirates in shabmles

swift tinsel
#

I mean it’s fun if you don’t like giga burst windows

#

And enjoy a flat damage profile

#

And relying on haste to function

errant tinsel
swift tinsel
#

Ooo new build today?

#

We’re so back

hazy breach
#

There was no changes to sub tier as far as i could tell

slate lantern
swift tinsel
#

Bring back Bandits Guile

solemn creek
#

expecting a nerf to tier piece, but if they do that. they would need to greatly buff to compensate

#

otherwise sub is gonna drop to assa lvl (as of now)

slate lantern
#

Sub is the last hope for rogues

swift tinsel
#

It’ll probably be like 2% instead of 3 and 4 or 5% instead of 6

#

Or they remove sectech from the bonus and take our legs out from under us lol

bright sundial
#

hey guys sorry if this is a dumb question but why isnt sectech shadow dmg?

hazy breach
#

It is

#

Most of it anyway

bright sundial
#

oh cause tooltip says phy dmg

hazy breach
#

Its split into 3 hits, first a small physical hit, then two big shadow hits

bright sundial
#

oh gottcha ty

hazy breach
#

Works just fine for me

#

Probably have to be on PTR

warm depot
#

wait

swift tinsel
#

Is rotten beating 1/2 finality for you in dslice too?

#

On ptr

warm depot
#

so do you just not press a finisher with ~25s left on flag cd?

hazy breach
#

Not eviscerate or bp

warm depot
#

so just fill with rupture?

hazy breach
#

Yes

warm depot
#

cool

#

thx

brisk onyx

Omg that sounds so troll

spark tusk

Saw sin got some changes on ptr, did sub get anything?

shrewd monolith
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
young path
#

Is there any benefit to just not rupturing and keep spamming bs?

hazy breach
#

Sure you'd get some more BPs outside of cds

#

But 15% of the time you'll lose your stacks

spark tusk
#

Hell yeah trickster patch again stay winning

Trickster feasting s2

#

DS = dirt spec

silent ruin
#

Transmitter is close to Bis for season 2 ?

random comet
#

seems that way

tribal blade
#

you guys do realize if trickster is ahead they're gonna mega buff DS again

#

because it's gonna be "buff the tree they're not playing without looking into why at all"

#

smile

silent ruin
#

Why didn't they buff fate bound for assasin then

glossy turtle
#

For sub m+ do you want rupture up on all targets?

#

Like lets say first pull of workshop. Or just some general big pulls

hazy breach
#

Yes and no

tribal blade
#

if the pull barely lives your entire cds you want to go into cds asap

hazy breach
#

Delaying your cds for it isnt really that worth unless the pack is still being gathered (aka arent stacked yet)

glossy turtle
#

Ok i see makes sense

hazy breach
#

But outside of cds you want to rupture as much as you can

glossy turtle
#

Ok. Cool. Cds would be blades?

hazy breach
#

You dont want to rupture in dance either

glossy turtle
#

or symbols is enough to qualify as cds

tribal blade
#

spreading rupture is actually doubly beneficial now for sub because you can build up tier stacks

glossy turtle
#

saw casual going crazy on the ruptures

#

And didnt notice that when watching sub m+ this season

hazy breach
#

Say you go into a pack with no blades ready and 1 dance+symbols

tribal blade
#

casual is very aggressive with rupture spreading

glossy turtle
#

Indeed

hazy breach
#

You would spread ruptures before dancing+symbolsing

#

Assuming the mobs live longer than a single dance

tribal blade
#

i assume

worn ivy
#

Trickster: you want to hold of on using // when has roughly 25 seconds left of its cooldown to not risk losing your new tier set bonus.

#

what is this bro

shut ridge
worn ivy
#

didnt understand this

#

inlight me

glossy turtle
#

Yeah. So i would just kinda build up a decen bit of ruptures, while gathering is being done. And when i got a certain ammount or when gathering stops, i just sendv

hazy breach
# worn ivy didnt understand this

Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Eviscerate, Secret Technique, and Black Powder by 3%, stacking up to 10 times. Eviscerate, Secret Technique, and Black Powder have a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!

tribal blade
#

you don't want to drop your stacks before your next cd set

#

because having high stacks going into a cd set is massive dammy

worn ivy
#

than what i dont do finisherws

tribal blade
#

rupture or snd

hazy breach
#

Its like 1 or 2 eviscerates you replace with a rupture or snd yes

glossy turtle
#

25 sec left of what?

tribal blade
#

flag

worn ivy
#

flag

tribal blade
#

it sounds cursed but look at how much damage you have in dance with 10 stacks of tier

#

it's absurd

glossy turtle
#

But whith replicating shadows wont that be done very fast, and you will just be stuck refreshing ruptures?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

You have to realize that you do no damage outside dance anyway

swift tinsel
#

The more you play it the less cringe it feels tbh

tribal blade
#

you're sacrificing downtime damage to gain cd damage

#

and sub does all cd damage

covert storm
#

what patch note would even fix that tho, reduced amount it stacks up to?

glossy turtle
#

Makes sense yeah, just building to hit like a truck

swift tinsel
#

I thought it was gonna be turbo ass feeling but it’s really not

tribal blade
#

like sub fights with tanks and healers out of cds

hazy breach
#

Im not exaggurating when i say youre doing 100-150k dps outside of dance

hazy breach
#

And youre gonna be doing like 6M+ in blades

tepid trellis
#

it is awful

glossy turtle
#

But doesnt that kinda fit the dmg profile of m+?

swift tinsel
#

The downtime of m+ helps mitigate some of it

#

Yeah

hazy breach
worn ivy
#

theyalso need top cap assa BTW

hazy breach
#

cap?

worn ivy
#

do the CT capped by 5T

#

cba why are we capped

glossy turtle
#

-.-

swift tinsel
#

Nah capping targets is old hat

hazy breach
#

What

worn ivy
#

go uncaped all bro what is this

#

uncap outlaw

#

uncap sub

#

they rogue is viable againb

tepid trellis
#

sub is softcapped

tribal blade
#

sub is not hard capped

swift tinsel
#

We’re only hard capped by nimble

hazy breach
#

Assa is softcapped too

tepid trellis
#

only nimble flurry is hard capped

hazy breach
#

Idk what youre talking about

worn ivy
#

i know its soft cap

tepid trellis
#

its just outlaw

worn ivy
#

how assa is soft capped

solemn creek
#

they already started nerfing it

shut ridge
#

outlaw isn’t real it can’t hurt me lalala

tepid trellis
#

everything in the game is soft capped

spring turret
#

does not finishing at all hurt our cdr too much? or why dont we just hold combopoints for shadow techniques (for the 25s before flag)

solemn creek
#

if it stays bis they will greatly nerf it

hazy breach
tribal blade
solemn creek
#

they will

#

for sure

hazy breach
#

Except assa is softcapped at 5

solemn creek
#

just so people get more gear

silent ruin
#

Why only trickster holds on but DS can keep finishing ? Logic ?

solemn creek
#

before nerfing it again

hazy breach
#

Black powder is at 8

tepid trellis
swift tinsel
#

Bc we don’t get as much cdr on dance anymore

hazy breach
#

And the fact that trickster bursts a lot harder

errant tinsel
glossy turtle
#

Casual ptr video certified recommeded to get a good look at how rotation will be for m+ in s2?

yes i saw in stream tornado + vigor

#

complete delush

glossy turtle

And also it does nothing

Tea/vigor loses to 1 vigor+2 lethality kek

Lmfao based

hazy breach
#

(which also loses to cold blood obviously)

glossy turtle
#

Anyone who has videos of m+ testing from sub pov?

tepid trellis
#

more energy just does nothing for sub

worn ivy
#

wait

tepid trellis
#

all it does is give you more weak finishers outside of cds

swift tinsel
#

It’s such a feelycraft trap

tepid trellis
#

yeh

worn ivy
swift tinsel
#

If we were bugged to have perma stacks okay maybe it’s okay on BP infinity spam

#

But that’s not reality

worn ivy
#

he legit plays vigor 😄

silent ruin
#

BP is my favourite spell

swift tinsel
#

But a fully stacked fully functioning cb sectech is gonna orbital stike

worn ivy
#

the only way advanted i see if u BP this much +8 T sometimes u starv

#

but still shouldnt worth

glossy turtle
worn ivy
#

he also play deathstalker 😄

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker is fine on aoe

glossy turtle

even more legend

#

Seems like he is just trying stuff out

#

Ye they just ignore that part

worn ivy
#

wait wtf

#

how does he track FW

#

i dont see it on NP's

hazy breach
#

He probably doesnt

#

Neither do i

tepid trellis
#

same

hazy breach
#

I have one that says if its not up on my maintarget, but not something continously showing

tribal blade
#

do the new finishing rules apply to only having the full 4 set

#

(not 2 set alone)

hazy breach
#

Yes only 4p

tribal blade
#

cool sound about right

worn ivy
#

do u guys track nible furry?

tepid trellis
#

flawless form yeh

worn ivy
#

yes flawless form

lapis hatch
#

Do I ever send sectech without dance/sb? Or just complete waste? Sometimes I make a mistake and it comes off cd as a dance ends

tepid trellis
#

we have points where you can send one dry

#

while you are pooling for next big cds

#

its a judgement call you have to make if you know it can come back off cd before your cds

lapis hatch
#

Like if flag is up in 25ish secs im safe to send and?

#

Ah ty

tepid trellis
#

depends on the uptime you have during those 25 sec

hazy breach
#

Generally id just recommend to not do that and hold

#

If youre unsure, just dont

tepid trellis
#

you have to be sure its back

lapis hatch
#

Heard chef

hazy breach
#

The payoff is small and the cost is very big if its not back

worn ivy
#

somet

#

sometimes in ST i send symbools + sech tech without dance to get 2x dance on big cds

#

with trickstter btw

lapis hatch
#

DS feels nice coming from sin. Is DS better than trickster or vice versa? I can’t figure out which one to commit to on PTR

swift tinsel
#

Trickster

#

is the only hero spec

#

anyone who says otherwise works for Big Deathstalker

#

they can't be trusted

sick jackal
swift tinsel

(generally people prefer trickster because it smooths out our burst windows and feels way better)

yall are 1 capstone ahead of us

lapis hatch
#

Feels bad in aoe when flawless form falls off, and I’m now backstabbing. But the internal cooldown for flawless isn’t ready. So I’m just backstabbing and waiting

#

Any tips for that?

swift tinsel
#

alt+tab

tepid trellis
#

more than 5 targets

#

dont do it

#

just storm + bp

lapis hatch
#

Oh lmao.

hazy breach
#

BP does more damage than evis+nimble at 5 targets anyway

lapis hatch
#

Also do we hold coup in ST until dance window? Even if I have to spend a couple BP’s?

hazy breach
#

No

worn ivy
#

Hmm

hazy breach
#

You can if you want to, but its +-0 in sims

#

Or well, in season 1 that is

#

The tier set thing also makes it so we'll always have coup for our flag+blades

#

Part of why its good

#

How sub rogue sims compare to assa and outlaw in m+

we dont know sims right now, theres a few hotfix up

and still some bug

#

is there a reason the ST talent line in the pin takes improved shuriken storm over shadow focus?

#

for guaranteed fw

#

0.1 difference

#

Sfocus is so shit that it just doesn’t really matter

tribal blade
#

sorry i'm stupid, is the 4pc % including the 2pc too

Hey guys, I just read the pin right now and:

Rotational changes:
Trickster:Trickster:: you want to hold of on using :Eviscerate:/:BlackPowder:/:CoupdeGrace: when :Flagellation: has roughly 25 seconds left of its cooldown to not risk losing your new tier set bonus.

What does this mean? You just afk for 25 secs or am I missing something?

rugged condor
#

do we shuriken storm in st MonkerS this is news to me

tepid trellis
#

No we don’t

tepid trellis
#

Only DS does

swift tinsel
#

you still need the cdr from spending combo points but don't want to drop stacks, so we use finishers that don't have a chance to

spring turret
#

oh i thought trickster does it aswell in sims mb

wise badger
swift tinsel
#

eh, it sounds worse than it is

sick jackal
swift tinsel
#

whoa why is the text red

sick jackal
#

we usually do things that make no sense to deal damage as sub

swift tinsel
#

is my dooming post text red for anyone else

wise badger
#

I don't see any red

swift tinsel
tepid trellis
#

Don’t see that

wise badger
#

oh that means it's not posted

swift tinsel
#

weird

solemn creek
#

how many rupture do we wanna spread on aoe?

#

i.e theres 20 + mob

tepid trellis
#

Every thing

wise badger
#

Well, if that "adaptation" is because the set is really strong, I fear they will nerf the set so it is worth to use finishers again

tepid trellis
#

In between dances spread them ruptures

solemn creek
#

ok, lets say its on the opener

#

i surely dont wanna press 10 rupture cast

tepid trellis
#

Don’t delay cds for it

#

As soon as shit is stacked send cds

solemn creek
#

and during dance. i only press shuriken once at 5+

#

or do i spam it

#

well.. spam

tepid trellis
#

Depends on hero talent

solemn creek
#

trickster, im looking at fuu's guide but it seems different

tepid trellis
#

Then you just storm once

#

With the 2nd rotten stack

solemn creek
#

o i see

#

its for the garanteed fw

hazy breach
#

If you lose your 10 stacks by eviscerating that mob you would lose such a huge amount of damage

solemn creek
#

during the 2 sd window burst. , if 1st sdhadow dance ends and ur at full cp, do u rupture to get rid of cp or just resend dance?

hazy breach
#

Just resend

solemn creek
#

thx

#

relearning sub, didnt bother for s1 since i swapped back to rogue late

#

just went with sin, but looking forward to sub for s2

#

what about coup de grace in aoe at 5+ target, do we still not bother?

Fairly sure they did

swift tinsel
#

okay cool bc I was thinking they did too

hazy breach
#

BP doesnt instantly remove all stacks all the time

#

Like it did before

swift tinsel
#

with the exception of coup, that usually had 60% reset chance

#

for me

solemn creek
hazy breach
#

Ye coup still fucked

swift tinsel
#

yeah I had plenty of BP chains of like 7-8+

hazy breach
#

Not sure about shadowed coup

#

But its definitely 3 hits

swift tinsel
#

That one I'm convinced is still borked

#

but evisc has been feeling a lot more reliable

#

in a good way

twilit phoenix
#

Man I still don’t get sub aoe

hazy breach
#

Its pretty much the same as singletarget except you BP instead of evis

twilit phoenix
#

Am I shuriken storming to generate inside dance?

hazy breach
#

Only once as trickster, to apply fw with rotten

twilit phoenix
#

Even at a giga target count?

#

Like first pull nw and shit

hazy breach
#

No

#

Strike does significantly more damage

#

Shuriken storm practically doesnt do damage

lapis hatch
#

What about to apply find weakness? Not something we ever think about?

twilit phoenix
#

But outside of dance, I’m shuriken storming at 5+?

hazy breach
#

You storm at 2 outside of dance

sullen hare
swift tinsel
quaint lodge
#

im trying to think of a reason why but i don't know

is it because of the way it lines up with ur second flag?

swift tinsel

more flawless form and flag stacks

ahh ok

#

makes sense

what does flawless form do?

increase dmg of finishesrs

you want to hold of on using :Eviscerate:/:BlackPowder:/:CoupdeGrace: when :Flagellation: has roughly 25 seconds left of its cooldown to not risk losing your new tier set bonus.

what do we do in this window? just spam generators?

its not like u will use 8 evisc anyways in that 25 sec window

Sniper rifle ruptures

swift tinsel

More or less lol

#

It’s outside of dance where you don’t have the energy to spam backstab so you’re only replacing at most like 3 evisc

#

Which aren’t guaranteed to have FW up like they are in dance

I just meant in a row yeh

I will say sniper-rifling instead of machine-gunning from now on

since to avoid losing stacks, do we still flag > finisher > blades > etc?

or that finisher will always be a rupture/snd?

It’s already rupture in the opener

No, just vanish, it's like it's not activating at all for trickster. Haven't had problems with deathstalker.

but it doesn't always line up that way

spark tusk

You can't really save your supercharged points anyways

#

like there's nothing yo ucan do about it

iirc you can do some delaying to make sure it lines up that way, but i dunno because fuck DS

simple garnet
#

We have to go back to supercharge 11.1? 😦

alpine wraith

just woke up seems they nerfed transmitter eh

simple garnet
#

What if I just… don’t

alpine wraith
#

and jastor

tribal blade
spark tusk
tribal blade
#

not massive though

tribal blade
#

you'll get DN supercharged

#

or i suppose you activate DN then go into dance and evis as 1st finisher

simple garnet
#

Oh that’s good tech

tribal blade
#

OR you can just play trickster 😉

alpine wraith
#

ideally you go into dance with 1 mark left yes

simple garnet
#

Don’t you play trickster in m+ already?

#

I only m+ f raid

tribal blade
#

depends on what you prefer tbh

#

they both put out good numbers

#

i'm personally a massive trickster fanboy

alpine wraith
#

yes trickster is cooler fits more into the sub burst narrative

tribal blade
#

thank god

alpine wraith
#

yea i though the extra shadow dmg would make DS better but guess getting more dances trumps it

cloud rover
#

Does this mean, i just dont use any finisher except rupture?

#

for 25 Seconds?

brisk onyx
#

You got it

alpine wraith
#

i put some things i found in the sub tc research but im struggling to fit it in the apl

#

because every set changes a bit apart from the first

cloud rover
alpine wraith
#

and it becomes a 2 - 1 1 2 - 1 - 2

#

etc

cloud rover
#

sub isnt the go to spec

#

i dont want to hold my finisher for 25 seconds

alpine wraith
#

i will try later to see if CB anchor and slamming with dance cd+ flag cd works better

#

from my ptr testing that one feels quite better

tranquil stump
#

is it just me guys, or how the hell "holding your finishers except rupture for 25sec" is a healthy design, why do i feel like rogue is getting worse gameplay wise season by season lol

alpine wraith
#

that might not be necessarily true from what i found if you move the SoD sec tech but still left to see

#

it is just a safer approach

alpine wraith
#

it lets you use dances as kind of a ladder

#

to not have that downtime but it will happen anyway after cds even with this

#

just you can still use finishers there because flag is far away

#

i will kinda record some things to show people more or less i have time today after work and before PoE league begins

#

im more surprised they nerfed jastor diamond so much

  • Why is the Cold Blood and Secret Technique macro not recommended anymore?
    When you macro these two together you often end up using it outside of your shadow blades window rather than inside of it, and since Subtlety gets so many damage modifiers inside its cooldowns its actually more damage use it only in Shadow Blades
    (yes, even if you end up losing casts of cold blood). Ideally you use it on your second Secret Technique as it will be buffed by more stacks of Flawless Form and have higher Flagellation stacks.
thin dove
# brisk onyx You got it

so i use flag and can spam finishers and then wenn the CD of rupture is at 25 sec i dont spam finisher, or can i send secret technique?

cloud rover
#

But i wont play Sub anyways, if the 25 second no finisher thing stays Okay

hazy breach
#

It genuinely doesnt feel bad

#

Were talking about two finishers most of the time

keen dome
#

It just means you swap to Rupture instead of a piddly evis, right? It's whatever

hazy breach
#

Like two 200k eviscerates youre skipping out on, since you already do zero damage outside cds anyway

keen dome
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

yea i moved 1 dance to not waste the symbols + sod but i dont think the gain is huge anyway

keen dome
cloud rover
#

to not finish

#

for me

alpine wraith
#

it does feel better a bit but also on second set of cds you only have 1 dance kinda in between cds if you want to snipe CB right

#

maybe you havent played sub for super long

cloud rover
#

i see what you did there @keen dome

alpine wraith
#

there have been times we had like 30 to 40 secs of prep

#

to be able to dance

keen dome
#

It's interesting how both of those tier bugs relate to some kind of extra attack happening (Clones, / Bonus evis's losing stacks).

#

If only we could have the blessed big crit

cloud rover
#

Soulbound

hazy breach
#

I mean sure, but like I said the amount of dps sub does outside of dance is laughable, we are talking like 150k-200k

cloud rover
#

Except you want to be souldbound with me ? But you wouldnt want that im sure

#

unless?

mighty citrus
#

do we consider this rupture spam thing being created on purpose?

#

when flag <25s

hazy breach
#

Reducing that down to 100-150k to guarantee a 50% buff to finishers during cds is huge

alpine wraith
#

you dont spam

#

like try it in ptr

keen dome
cloud rover
alpine wraith
#

you overstimate hard how many finishers we do outside dance

hugely

Hey
i am new to rouge at all and at the moment i rly like subtlety and i got a question for our opener:
When i look at guides they say that our opener should look like that.
Why do we use Secret Technique before Shadow Blades? Dont we want the 20% dmg with our Finisher?
I couldnt find an answer to that
Would love to understand that

rich ibex
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
molten citrus
#

i'm assuming you mean first finisher after symbols

grand wyvern
#

yes

#

but since you supercharge 2 combo point wouldnt you eviscerate first for danse macabre?

molten citrus
#

that i'm not 100% sure on as i haven't looked, but danse macabre is generally not as important as people think

alpine wraith
#

no you still want it first finisher for cdr

grand wyvern
#

ok thanks

molten citrus
#

or if there's newer sims

#

than whats on fuu's sheet

#

doesn't look like those do the rupture spam between dances etc

alpine wraith
#

you dont rupture spam really

molten citrus
#

you know what i mean

alpine wraith
#

you just do it once maybe then wait and stack sht

molten citrus
#

the sim on fuu's sheet does evis outside of dance

grand wyvern
#

according to pins you only do ruptures 25 sec to cds

alpine wraith
#

yea you only really dont evis when flag is very near but also some things are not in yet

#

i also found some things but putting it in apl is not as easy

molten citrus

ruptures plural?

you only finish roughly 2-3 times in that amount of time

tawdry zodiac
#

is the tierset working now on ptr?

#

Is the best finisher sequence possible in burst window is first Coup de Grace then Secret Technique?

#

If yes, so wouldn’t it be worth to fish for Coup de Grace before the 25 seconds and hold it even more?

hazy breach
#

You want coup after sectech for the cdr

#

Generally

#

So you get your second sectech earlier

#

But yes coup is gonna be up after the 25s most of the time

#

Thats part of why its good

haughty mural
#

pressing 2-3 ruptures or no dmg eviscerates in that time doesnt make or break the rotation

#

0 = 0

tulip gorge
alpine wraith
#

that did not change at all

#

it is the same in s1q

umbral relic
#

Doesn’t sectec benefit a ton from Flawless Form?

alpine wraith
#

not really

#

it is more important to get more sec techs

umbral relic
#

Ok so cdr > than flawless form

haughty mural
#

2x sectech > sectech with some form stacks

#

(simplified)

hazy breach
#

During your flag+blades coup after

#

Otherwise coup before, but it doesnt really matter

hazy breach
#

And the second sectech is the biggest hit since its amped by cold blood, so the first one is less important comparatively

sly shore
#

sectech applies fazed too

#

for big button

#

so you'll have it for all dances poggers

tribal blade
#

how's this idea: sectec is only useable in dance and has a 8 second cd

#

and is reset upon activating dance

#

dance cdr suddenly means something, secret technique is now secret

#

and you can have x2 sectec when running TFD

#

in 1 dance

cloud rover
#

He cooking

tribal blade
#

imagine being in dungeons running TFD and you can have a triple sectec opener in all cds SHEEEEESH

alpine wraith
#

that would make too much sense

#

best i can do is buff bp again

#

and maybe backstab and PV

tribal blade
#

well looks like we playing DS then boys /cry

#

how much you wanna bet they buff DS again

alpine wraith
#

they will buff DS and assa
