Idk we'll see
singular focus did 5% of my overall
Ok then it's more then 1%. Also horrible that tierset is still not working
Shadow sectech is like 16% dmg in sims, so if you were always at max stacks and it never worked the absolute max it could be would be ~2.7%
But youre not always at max stacks and it works sometimes (like 1/3 or so)
for now what i could read in fuus guide is we pop blades now 1 ss after dance. why is it important to delay this one gcd and not send all together
You get full cp anyway from premed on that strike
maybe iam missing something
iam unfortunately a person who likes macros, but ofc if they are bad i wont use
thats why iam asking
If you press strike with premed up you get full cp
So the blades doesnt do that much
When you could instead delay it and have blades up on eviscerates or stikes that wouldnt be giving you full cp later
Practically all of your damage is done in your cds
So every global matters
(its not actually all of your damage, its more like 75%ish in blades)
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
so if you enter a dance window and you want to use one finisher to proc a danse stack to then use sec tec on 2nd finisher for supercharger, but a coup de grace procs after first finisher, do you send the buffed coup or sectec
You want to use sectech immediately
Forget the danse macabre thing, thats from before 11.0.5
!guide
is sub gonna be the meta spec for m+ in s2

yeah thought so
It’s looking strong but there’s simply no way to know rn
Plenty of changes will prolly be made in the first few weeks of szn
like i'd prefer to play sub but if sin is just flat out better i'll play that 😐
How gimped am I without transmitter
uninstall tbh
AoE/cleave outside of CDs: if flawless form is up then we're using storm to build CPs at 3+ targets, right?
i wouldn't recommend using storm till your confident it will fill your combo points for the global press...
at 3 targets i'd still backstab, 1 global doing a little more dmg but also chance to proc more flawless stacks
if flurry is up you just storm at 2+
If not in dance use storm on 2+
sooo a 56k backstab, w/flurry doing 60% cleave on 3 targets...
vs a 34k storm all targets...
math
very very hard for me playing this spec, HELP
More cp = more eviscerates = more dances
5 extra energy per cast and sounds terrible on 2+ targets... thats cra cra
you need to do twice the amount of backstabs -.-
we don't care about our builders we just wanna get cool finishers out sooner
Builder damage is irrelevant they exist to create combo points only
u must have terrible luck w/shadowcraft...
!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.
im sorry
soooooooo, you get shadowcraft procs, can do more dmg with a basic backstab, what am i missing?
5ish targets i get
Backstab generates less combo points
On 2+ targets
Combo points > irrelevant builder damage
Yes
hope to key with ya soon
it all just comes down to builder efficiency and backstab just isnt an efficient builder to press
Backstab does more damage in 1 global, storm combo points does more damage over the course of the fight
It’s quite simple
lol, no it isnt... but you already won, i conceded...
I mean you’re arguing with robots designed to optimise damage, not with me
if its the same as magha then yeah
!guide
while i do admit, I have no idea how the dungeon slice APL for sims is written, but I can say with confidence it DID NOT get TFD right this season... sims significantly less than it performs when leveraged properly
So with that in mind, what else is not correct with it? (just as a general approach)
Not trying to knock anyone, just simply sharing my experience
well tfd isnt right in sims, because it isnt in the sims
oooooooooooo
we dont have a way to make it work in Dslice yet
its probably just gonna end up being a % chance of it occuring when it moves to a new pack
sooooo, when i make suggestions and get completely shit on... i get it now
Yeah I’m muting this guy he’s dumb as shit good night
goodnight!

Oh ye my formatting got a bit scuffed. Ill fix it. Ty
np. same with this, missing flag at the top
“Why do we do this thing”
“Because it does more damage”
“Why does it do more damage?”
30 reasons it does more damage
“No ur wrong”
I mean, i offer up my SV key to see how rotations fair
Ok this one im not sure why its not showing up 
Fuck ill look into it
lol you're good
and in all fairness, i'm only trying to broaden the theories...
!wa
have you noticed anything else being off? 
to have an actual meaningful conversation about this type of stuff, it would be a 100x more helpful if any sort of proof instead of just "feels" as we cant use that for anything, cuz it doesent reflect what we see
i'm reading through I'll lyk. luckily I'm a copyeditor IRL
plz let me know when you're available in game... I genuinely would like to assist... I do not have the access or smarts to even attemp anything in a sim APL
and sims are gonna be a thousand times more accurate in terms of small dps increases than anything else, and its not really hard to make the sim prio one thing over another
but I can show you some things that you may or may not have already thought of
or the sim for that matter
missing flag here too
Yes its the same one
ah gotcha
why cant shadow dance and symbols be macros
!burst
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.
Sometimes you press dance and symbols together sometimes you don’t
Its what the TC channels are for, write up what ideas you have that differ from the sims or stuff you think is better, in a way that is understandable and then someone that knows apl can look at it to see if it even makes sense and maybe we find a gain somewhere
feel free to share your ideas in a clear manner with any of the green/oranges and we can see if its implementable
its how all of this works
or what stealthi suggested is better actually
just a circle jerk of nerds with dumb ideas
so i could have 1 macro keybind and 2 other keybinds for each spell
i have an obscure keybind for the pot + trinket + symbols + dance in the opener, most other times it's used separate it seems
and a smaller circle of bigger nerds who try and sim all the dum ideas
yep
i mean the amount of spamming me and Push have given Fuu over the years from our dummy testing in SL / early DF
was wild xD
are u a good builder to press on?
asking for a friend

D:
could have just buffed pirate and kept sub as the pvp spec
fleeing
SL/DF i probably had over 500 hours on just dummies alone
real and factual, should ve given +250% aura buff to outlaw and nerf sub tier set by 666% actually
back when i still had passion
I do it for the bug test treasure hunt
Same, SL i used to spam the dummies, now it s just whatever, reading a guide, pressing 3 buttons on dummies, i m ready to raid

now we got dave and hacha testing weird stuff
well hacha has been testing stuff since way back tbh
One day I will learn how to toy with the APL
hey thats before i quit back then, i prob did a lot of those sims, i remember to do a ton of dust sims back in Aberrus
Its not ultra bis, but it is good
i still dont get one that s the issue, we havent seen one in guild this tier

i m playing sub and assa trinketless
Hoping to get a better understanding of mimiron and apl stuff for next ptr and throw some stuff together
how to learn APL:
copy things from other lines to try and do what u want to do
realize u want to check something that is not in other lines
try to steal the check from some sin or outlaw apl line
realize they dont check it either
read throug the github to try and find it
fail
ask chatgpt
fail
give up
ask fuu how to do it
If I did the entire campaign on main, do I have to do it on other alts?
@hazy breach rest looks good to me
I can follow a good amount of the logic for most of them
Just gotta sit down and parse it out so I know what affects what and which lines interact
Good stuff
Ye and then realize its somehow -7% in aoe for some reason that you have no idea about
two things I didnt see explicitly mentioned that I just wanted clarity on though:
-
so we are not holding onto Coup outside of dance? we're just sending it as long as fazed is up whenever we have it?
-
do we want to spend our supercharged points exclusively on sectech? meaning if during second symbols of CDs and we have to squeeze one eviscerate in before secteching, that's not okay?
its quite literally trial by error
its actually just one big loop, once u get that then u kinda understood everything. u got all the call actions at the top that u loop through and each one of them calls the code sections that are below
oh yea integration is the worst part, i sometimes feel bad for fuu there
i just used to delete lines randomly cause they interacted weird with what i wanted to do, and then just post the findings with half the apl missing
- Ye no holding for dance
- Yes every sectech should be supercharged. So ideally you delay symbols to make sure that happens
#2 is mentioned underneath the rotation stuff but it could probably use better phrasing
Yeah, I feel pretty okay about the fundamentals of it just gotta get a bit more familiar with the actual calls themselves

So I know what to modify to change what I’m interested in
nah I think it's clear I just wanted to be super sure. seems like that timing might be a tiny bit tight depending on shadow techniques sometimes. with dance ending soon after that
sup boys, I'll re-clear NP this Wednesday but for pure ST like Sikran/Kyveza, should I play trickster after the changes or Deathstalker is still best?
Ye
Wait, sorry, just wanna clarify because judging by opener.. after the Shadow Dance, Sec tech is still on CD for another like 18 seconds. I thought sec tech should be the first finisher after triggering shadow dance?
some changes are just way more scuffed then others, i rewrote the sod dance and cb line like 5 times by now trying to make it line up good with flag and outside of it. (and failed every time btw)
im sure eleem has tried more times too xd
The second dance in CDs is slightly different. Because blades and your trinket only last 16 seconds delaying your dance means your dance will be partly outside those cooldowns, which is not good
You want to make sure you supercharge sectech, but you dont need it to be the first finisher after pressing sectech, as you get 2 supercharged points
do i run the s2 talent set with old tier?
So what you would do is press dance
And then press symbols once sectech has 10s or less left
Its the same talents
Gotcha. Shit thanks again @hazy breach. Looks like you guys have been busy answering returning/new sub rogue questions haha

oh this was my confusion. thought we got one supercharged point not 2
that makes more sense
so pressing it with <10 seconds, even if you eviscerated the first one and sectech the second one, it would still be supercharged
makes total sense cool
It would give 10 seconds of cdr to sectech
doesnt s2 run 1 point in finality
ig its almost the same
Maybe fuu pushed it to the guide before the change, not entirely sure
im glad its trickster though, deathmark management is not enjoyable
Most prefer trickster 
The One True Hero Tree

Fuu pushed the original. The update is still waiting for deployment ( from what we talked about). Likely up tomorrow.
Ye makes sense

the hero talent stuff, nahhhh
yeah when i brain off play farm and my hero talent is disabled because i didnt keep darkest night proc during ansurek/silken intermission

does PI let us get any extra big hits in in burst?
Haste doesn't really do much for us in our burst windows
It does increase our damage but it's generally a waste if there's a good performer in your raid that can make better use of it. I mean unless you literally have like 6 priests in your raid
or unless you have some bribe money
even if it isnt great on you, it means someone else doesnt get it and you look better on details
is there a good way to track cp refunds?
but with PI we get faster shadow technique procs right?
!wa
@rotund obsidian ^
thank you
Noticed 1st dance is talented in that aoe build in the pinned cessages
Didnt think that talent was very useful for M+?
yes, but it's super minor compared to what other classes get
it's stronger than WM
WM hits don't count towards nimble
also having a 50% longer dance on most packs is not too shabby
for reference here - I tell my M+ group not to even care about syncing heroism with my CDs
Idk I dont think it is most packs. How often is there that amount of time between pulls? Not often
Remind me what is WM again?
weaponmaster
ah right
depends on the dungeon, like in DB you get it pretty much on every pack and boss
not sure about this next upcoming season, but you don't need it to proc very often for it to be better than WM
it also just heavily depends on what key levels youre doing and why.
lower keys (12-14) packs are going to die way faster, and it becomes sort of disgusting to have a super long SD
Oh I was talking in the context of next season
higher keys you should really just value flexibility for how/when your group pulls over what might technically be more damage
this will be true for every season ever
right now it's on par or better than WM on ST fights at something like 3:30-4 min lengths
so you can kinda do the math from there
also it's much better than WM in aoe
Wow in a 4 mintue ST fight its better than WM??
im suprised 4 seconds on one SD is better than WM of the course of an entire boss fight
im not doubting you im just suprised
yeah i was surpised when i first heard that too
WM is just not that good unfortunately
need @hazy breach to give the exact math on it
even a point in Finality seems good
rotten is better for all purposes
got buffed to 50%
and plus you can use the 2nd charge of rotten in aoe to apply find weakness to all targets
big BP dam
are you drfunknstein?
are you drfunknstein?
i hate this spec man
no u
wtf is this WA
there was a bug where leeching poison would drop if you zoned
it's been fixed, you can delete it
its not buffed tho when talented
this spec has to manually rupture on aoe opener?
wait it doesnt
you can rupture as the tank is gathering
send cds once the pull is gathered
if you're not doing a high key you kinda want to send cds asap so they'll last the entire flag duration
i prefered the pirate hat option

mechagnome back on the menu lfg
So now that we have the 3 charges of symbols where are we sending them? Is it okay to send symbols without dance now?
also to build the DM stacks in SD what is okay to use? are we biulding stacks with Skuriken Storm even in single target?
last question: For AOE I read at 6 targets we start using black powder is that true? What about if we dont have SD up
There's a chart there for what to use when
eleem said evis with nimble is roughly on par with BP at 7 targets
so you might as well evis with nimble at 7 even because more prio that way
7 for BP
this layout stresses me out a lot
Welcome to Dinoland
I think it should all be pretty accurate with the new patch too
hachadino is goated
Yeah that video from that spreadsheet he said 5 targets
So I heard the delayed combo point refund thing was fixed, is that true?
they call him luigi with the squeegee
On ptr yes
they call him peanut arbuckle
Wait for na beta test
Oh yeah the videos and stuff are prob not super accurate I was just talking about the timers for cd usage. Best use the guides when they're updated for target count
fronteir is a goated sub rogue
5 targets right now, but nimble is getting a +10% buff so number changes next season
listen to what he says
if i have a fully upgraded heroic transmitter next season how long am i holding it?
probs a sim angle, but I hear it's probably good until a heroic house of cards
No one hits those dummies in dorn like me

Prob fully upgrade heroic HoC
!fuu

Hit the tank ones. Let them fight back.
The tank ones are too scared of my goblin

It seems havoc nerfs werent on the PTR yet, sub buffs were in or no?
why do sims show to evisc before going in the first dance on opener?
Get snd
You strike rupture and vanish strike evis and then burst
Hello quick question. Rerolling to sub this tier. Not used to trickster quite yet but which is worth more... Shuriken Storm or Nimble flurry for AoE? I understand the target count depends for Shuriken Storm for CP's. But in a 5-8 target scenario would I storm > numble flurry ? in a 2-3 target nimble flurry > storm? Am I correct or am I confused

Doesn't really answer so much of my question for storm
!guide
There we go thank you
So in this scenario BP is not really much of a spammer no more vs Nimble Flurry?
only during FF windows?
you do bp in the scenarios the above guide tells you to do with the addum of the rotational changes in the pins
Guides guides.... I understand and I looked. But it just even confused me more about BP.
I don't understand why BP if Nimble Flurry makes things a little more fluid. BP feels like it doesn't go in rotation with trickster. I've been on AoE dummies trying to understand why even BP.
because of the target not being capped right?
Does it outweigh NF's value?
Well, as of tomorrow it’s 7+
Tonight it’s 5+
Because the NF buffs aren’t in until tomorrow
I'm excited. Haven't played sub since S1 of DF so i'm pumped.
It’s in a good spot playstyle wise IMO. I’ve enjoyed it this season
I really like trickster so it made me happy to come try things out. I rerolled from Aff lock i've had enough after the past 5 years of rapture exisiting.
That’s fair, I mained warlock for many years. Current aff is an abomination
rapture gameplay pisses me off
been a warlock main since TBC pre patch when I started
so going rogue is quite new to me
appreciate the help tho Koz ty
do we use cb stec on second dance cuz we want to use it on full flagg stacks?
!coldblood
- 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.
So what is the purpose of Flagellation? Is it literally a mastery button? Tell me I'm missing something coz why tf is a capstone area talent doing like 1-2% of my overall?
Surely putting that point into Goremaws is better no?
mastery is great for sub, gives you a bunch of dmg
sub just layers dmg amps over eachother to do big dmg
Yea I get that, but surely there are better ways to do it. this ability just feels mega awful to press
you care a lot more about the buff than the actual flag dmg
ngl i have never once specced into goremaws
that button doesnt do much for us
flag being on a gcd kinda sucks i agree
I understand that the overall is different, I'm jsut saying that as a button to press, Goremaws must feel so much better than flag
Would there be any cd usage guides for default routes this seasons m+
There's one day left of this season. Do you really need that?
Didnt s2 launch yet
Im not talking ab s1
Already set n stone with it 
S2 launches on the 4th March my friend
Yeah i meant it as a general question if there would be such
And isnt today for like the new zone n stuff
Barely followed anything so sorry if i missed smth
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
only if you play trickster
ok ty @slate lantern and @twilit phoenix
flag gives mastery to increase finisher damage on the finisher spec
makes sense to me
i've seen how good sub is in m+, but so far is it decent in ptr for raid.
meh things will change in a week
Only thing I fear is that our 4p gets demolished by a numbers pass
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
during aoe is it better to symbols-shuriken-dance-tech? this way all targets have find weakness and u dont waste a global in dance window?
roughly 14%
so thats the way to go?
if you play rotten
trickster rotten yeah
literal last boss kill of the patch
storm eats both rotten stacks - reference
so you want to not waste both stacks on one single storm
easy
is that intended or just a bug? sounds like a bug i didnt know it eats both stacks
i just read the reference damn
will we be able to recraft our already crafted spark items to add embellishes tomorrow or is that gone as well
@vale pine since catalyzed cloack and BoE boots both give vers/mast shouldnt we craft diferent pieces? Wowhead recomends those two. Sorry if @ was missused
all fine
you can craft belt/bracers instead, but they also offer good options ^^
basically you want to use crafting on a slot with low impact because of the lower power level
Okey, thx!!
will I be able to craft tommorrow if i hold onto my enchanted gilded crests
but as detailed in the guides
you probably want to craft a weapon first
because, more weapon damage is rly strong for mainhand
Yeah yeah, i saw it, weapon and later when both mythic track drops swap it, isnt it?
Is the 13.6% increase from Subs tier, post-nerf?
yes
yes, basically a weapon is the best immidiate update
and you can put your embellishment on it if you want
after that its just about getting the 2nd embellishment or upgrading your weakest item slot
I made a weapon as my first craft in S1 and am still using it now (In my OH). Def a good value first slot
Was thinking in weapon since i wont be myth raiding and my vault rng luck was bad in s1 and neck since i haven't founf a mast/vers one
chat it says thunderlord gem is from the drain event but it doesnt show the gem for me and i dont have it omggg

ahh fuck
Sim it yourself to see, tbh
the cursed imp telephone will not release us yet
well im starting to pull some numbers on the target dummy anyway
recrafted some gear
i will be very surprised if even nerfed heroic transmitter gets beaten by 639 skardyn's
transmitter is almost a perfect trinky for sub
(if only the haste was any other stat)
transmitter is quite good
I could kill for a transmit mh with vers in place of haste 🤣
would be sick!
Time to donuts until I get kicked out of the undermine
It can’t beat lfr transmitter
just waiting for another nerf to in before season starts
i'm hoping the nerf comes a few weeks into the season
so we have time to get something else to use
They already know the two outliers. I’d assume they get it before rwf.
no one knows but bliz
no point in screwing over last bit of progress this week
guilds can still prog this week?
hey, guys, can someone share a new tier set tracking wa? ❤️
Yes. Can still get CE this week
Use templates. It’s literally just a buff on the player.
Race to world last is still alive for some of us indeed 
cant decide if assa or sub
Hello. I have questions regarding the single target and multitarget rotation on wowhead.
- In single target it says you should Vanish, in multi target it isn't mentioned. Does this mean we don't Vanish in multi target?
- I am a little confused about the point when you should use Shadow Blades. In single target it is used right before Secret Techniques and after Shadow Strike. In multi target however it is used before Shadow Strike and with Shadow Dance. What is the difference? Is that important?
In st you want use premed to max cp on st with a ss, on aoe if u need to full cp with a single spell u can decide fo shuriken and save vanish
It's my favourite race
They're the real champions.
!plater D:
I see. Thanks! What about when to use Shadowblades? Does it matter if it's used with Shadow Dance or after the frst Shadow Strike after you used Shadow Dance?
yeah good point, there's still 1 week left of prog
You will use SB to buff clones hit on SecTec
Starting from s2, not in live right now
So SB will be used same time of SecTec or right after it to benefit again from premed on your first builder in dance (second builder will benefit SB)
basically use blades after consuming premed and before the clones hit
any time between those 2 events
Ok I see. Thanks again!
less funny when in it. Praying to roster boss first, Players brain cells second.
One more week of fury prison.
Gl gl
First step is servers coming up before raid start. 
If I cared more about it, I’d look and see if any specs playing either trinkets were simming less after reset this week. My guess is the first nerfs stayed at or above season 1 overall sims
even with the nerf, my sub sim went up like 200k
Assa was still a net positive, just nothing exciting.
It always was
isnt your guild in a position to ask for help of better players?
to fill holes?
yes and no. Better players don’t just randomly show up. We have one friend that’s been subbing in when missing.
my guild got such a request for example two weeks ago from another in a dire situation
is it possible to create some sort of macro for symbols of death and dance to prevent wasting charges if you happen to click it multiple times? something like it only casts if you dont have the buff?
yeah i heard the raid lead disc has a place you can ask for players to help
don't macro dance and symbols together
that macro was passable up until now, but with the new tier set it's gonna be really bad using it
Basically I geared warrior in 2.5 weeks because ours was mia. Our prot paly has now geared his brm because our monk was 30-60 minutes late almost every night.
our other rogue is on assa because no transmitter
ohh, i meant a macro for each but the idea is the same.... if i happen to click dance 2 times i would like to not waste the second charge
you won't be able to do that
wth
you can't dance when you're in an existing dance
ahh dam
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
and we could actually use plat 1 dmg.
that's for symbols
❤️
Most of us have had them as alts, just nothing serious this tier
Just stay alive basically. 
sub rogue territory 😉
sub rogue annihilates 1st platform
Me in for one platform, or destroying all of p3 adds? Hmmmm
haha fair enough
/cast Avatar
/cast Bladestorm
What’s the difference with the new tier?
odyns
if you use the dance+symbols macro you'll very often be in a position where sectec isn't ready after 1st dance in cds
so that means you have to use 1-2 finishers to get sectec off cd for 2nd dance
what’s funny is, at least in sims. My queeen load as fury sims higher than my sub ST
what i never got is, why does ss sometimes only generate 5 cp? it super anoying 😄
and then that means with the new tier you either have to use rupture to not reset your tier stacks or press evis and risk resetting stacks
because if you macro them together you're tied to pressing dance+symbols only when sectec has 10 secs or left remaining on cd
to supercharge sectec
Aight thanks a lot for the explanation
np
np
@vestal escarp the other fun part, everything but rogue is changing so the swapping of classes not gonna really matter all that much
Ye and thats on pure ST. On aoe wm is almost completely useless so it takes a stupid amount of time for it to beat the first dance
yeah drfunk had a hard time believing TFD was better than WM on st, i don't blame him
On 10 target cleave sims its like 16 minutes
lol wtf jesus
so you only need to get TFD to proc twice in a key to have it better than WM
2-3 times
TFD even sexier with new tier set
that extra 4 seconds of dance has full DM ramped up as well as tier stacks rolling
that's a lot
very juicy talent but could defo see some more love
easier activation or something else
leave it as is for pvp
That would possibly make class talent capstone a little more impactful as far as choices
without a trace?
i'm still not a fan of tying power to vanish
i like that sub doesn't have a lot of power tied to vanish anymore
well yes you would pick it to get TFD for every flag
i love that too
but if it's just for raid
it's kinda ok
if in other content you can just restealth and activate TFD
true and same
depending on dungeons pool it's a huge defensive
yeah i like having the defensive power in keys
then you don’t run TFD
Not like you’re taking 2 vanish in keys
So how good is it?
it would be a gameplay choice
i still think it's a good idea to make TFD proc off vanish, makes sense
6 seconds too much

should be just true stealth
the price for defensive vanish
for PVE should be like 3-4 seconds
Meaningful choice. 
you can use vanish as an enabler if you cant meet the stealth requirement (ie raid)
but vanish as an activator for dps talents is a no no

you could still use vanish defensively
You do realize it’s next dance press that triggers TFD
Used it defensively in keys? Your next dance is still juiced
not a random dance that does piss dmg
Run 2 charges
and drop CB ?
or feint and get heals
I bet it would be worth but just bro science
considering it’s worth it in a single ~4 minute fight
at the least it makes what you chose have a little more meaning
always forgot to swap it back the last month+
nice
Oh nice mythic boe shoulders sold at the last minute for 200k
I wonder if they got them in time to upgrade them
Hell yeah, gold
Just looked at patch notes finally. Nothing but trickster buffs 😭😭 rip DS once more lol
You’ll find no sympathy here

Correct. It’s fucking awful. 
With the buffs to critical strike for trickster are we taking rotten or finality?
It plays bad, does not mean its bad
ok time to actually cook (breakfast)
rotten
finality is not that far behind
Thanks
Oh I'm just being dramatic lol. I guess I got the flavor of 'tism that enjoys DS
Ya, that's why the doubt
i like both themes
well trickster has no real theme
but i at least managed to create a nice picture for both ^^
I just like that DS offer variations and decisions making to a small degree vs trickster which is smooth brain same rotation under most conditions
huh?

Striking every 2nd finisher in AoE is not a decision I enjoy making
Holy fire weapon illusion during dance is best theme
Well idk if u play dota2 but now we have phantom assassin ultimate (coup)
Phantom assassin in dota2 is now totally like sub in wow
Im 41 bud 😂 i feel like a dyno
Im 32 and I lived on Dota and LoL when it came out. Am I old?
ancient^^
I played CS 1.5, I'm oldest
Bro the good ol CS days were amazing
I watched heaton n potty n spawn
Same bud 😂 tons of hrs on 1.5 and 1.6
Uuuuh NiP or
Sk
N learnt the heaton spray n owned with ak
Good old SK times
So quick question, what makes TS Better in ST. Just the reduced CD on sectec and the buffs to unseen blade?
Bro has peak gaming on his hands
Hell yeah N64
I've been emulating megaman x from the snes😂😂😂
I had one but I had parents that didn't care for the console gaming and didn't take care of them. He'll they left my $400 snowboard outside to rust when I moved out
rip
Hell yes
No. It would be goldeneye
don't have goldeneye, just perfect dark, lylat wars and concers bad fur day (shooters)
ocarina of time
ocarina of time and majoras mask are a must have for sure
tho i think MM is rly not worth playing
hot take tuesday
I started with nes mario/duckHunt
okay, i am not that old ^^
Thanks god that didn't make me a ol
me too
😂 We dropped pistol for knives in early age
Quake2CTF still 🐐
I'm a heathen that never got into legend of Zelda 😭 I wanna like the series but to go back and play the originals they're dated, botw was good but I felt like I was missing out not having past experiences with the series
was that before or after quake 3 arena?
naming would say before
before. You had to run your own servers
turning 40 this year, and it's a little scary.
We had a server setup at university of Illinois “illegally”
Anyone play battle clash with the super scope 😂😂😂
ie they just had no clue the TA set it up
battle clash sounds like a mobile game
It was a side scrolling mech shooter using nintendos super scope. Game is a core memory for me
trickster tricks talent is bugged, right?
omg
Ye it doesn't work anymore
you need to attack to get the 30 minutes buff, but zac mentioned it was bugged
Yeah kinda like contra. Only you're fighting 1v1 against other mechs and you gotta hit their weak points as they dash around the screen
They broke it 💀
it was too powerful
10% on blind cd is ok too i guess
not a big deal, you just press tricks at the start of every pull
imagine running around with a utility knife over your head the entire time you’re in a raid or dungeon.
and you're good
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I macroed tricks on my SoD SD and Flag and SB
To recast before any amp
Thought was common, but idk
Works well btw
Which one?
that gives u 1h tricks
i just press it manually and go with the 10% cdr node
cba having the swiss knife on my head all the time
i'm a little hesitant to do anything like that because sometimes people want to assign tricks to certain moments
good thing is both those nodes are not very important
ye
so 1 hour tricks bugging out is honestly a thank god bug
thank god it's not something important bugging out
could just run finality
well that exists already at least 😉
oh you mean a new one
sounds handy, where would i put it else?
yeah no new bug
we will get one eventually
Ah ok, i've never been ask to so i find myself confy with those macros, also i use trick on focus and have focus on tank
its spec fantasy
In actual attack animation graphics. 
Swap it in raid to other tank changing focus in raid, but in m+ i just send cd with trick macroed
it's not often, but sometimes my RL or tank will want to have tricks at important moments on a boss when the tank can't get aggro fast enough
or in keys sometimes tanks will want you to use tricks to help them get threat on something at a certain moment
Oh well yeah, in that case is not doable
doesn't happen that much though
the thread generation is fairly small tho
Well i guess you play m+ mostly premade? I go mostly pugs so noone asks
2 bosses from recent memory where it was very useful was broodkeeper and broodtwister
both the broods
hard for the tanks to get snap threat on both those bosses
!wa
Kk gotcha, ty Prof
We had it be somewhat useful on court pull too, because one of our tanks practically didnt hit the scarab so my opener burst would be tricksed to him
Couldve been solved in other ways but this worked fine so we just stuck with it
oh yes that's right i also did the same thing
tricksed our bdk on pull so the red team didn't get insta aggro
We're really purple.
we are fine
Dead in raid
Good in m+
Doom for raid
Assa and Sub are amongst the lowest simming dps. For whatever it’s worth.
i like to cope
atrophic is my cope
Fwiw were not simming very highly in the current tier either
The gap isn’t as large though
Finally, I hope play my rogue assa or sub for s2... I don't know what you think but I'm going to continue on my frost dk
3m vs 2.5. 1.65 vs 1.5
it be what it be
I think assa and sub will both have fights they’re good on. If you can play both specs you’re winning.
atleast we can hope we can get some more people into the spec
as we are mostly nimbeling again
rly depends on tuning
How big is the damage loss if I gear for Assassination and then play Sub for a couple of dungeons?
Not much at all
most of us gear for sub and swap a ring and neck out for assa
Even if you dont have a swap its no big deal
The vers is good even on assa
What's a 90s trinket? I have never heard of that term
90 seconds
…
The cooldown
90000000000 nanoseconds
Oh ok, thanks for explaining! And also thanks for answering my initial question! It's really cool that you can just swap without a lot of repercussion, since I do enjoy both specs a lot
subtlety want's a lot of mastery and vers, if you gear has a lot of it its perfect for sub
if you have a lot of haste, its not great for sub
Ye but assa doesnt get that much haste anyway, and trickster sub doesnt mind a little bit of crit either
RFWL is where the true content is
pulling up the 9x multi stream
I asked our streamer to go live today. She’s not since it’s an off day
how much does this hurt us
tier is nerfed so less than you'd expect
About ~1.5%

Ill edit it in
yes edit the sadge in

Next tier will be the nuclear SecTec tier..
Next tier no split damage
We’re like old mage combust, all abilities become one
And it’s purple as fuuuuuck
Just really hope they never do role-specific sets again
this might sound weird but do u guys have a spammable symbolls macro i do double single by mistake alot
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
!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 llove u
np
so we can't upgrade s1 gear anymore this week?
if I get a mythic transmitter in my vault today, it's joever?
you're never been more back
is it bad to have symbols and dance in a macro?
read a few messages above yours
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.
did they delay m0?
Starts with the season

Dont think they ever said it was coming out before the season
where does it say it comes with start of season?
They havent said anything
why would a chance for s2 gear be available before the season starts
unless you're doing m0 for no gear and no vault
boosting
aha kk
ded week
Car week. We all get to put on the initial D soundtrack and drift around undermine
Need to optimize my MDI Delve routes
when do we think we get a Sub overhaul?
13.2
I would like to see more "shadow" theme and shadow damage inherently baked into our kit
I also think its crazy that Goremaw's bite is still a thing. have we ever taken that
Tokyo drift on repeat
!fuu

do we use vers or chaos flask in s2? sheet sims say chaos but wowhead guide says vers
The dude which makes the wowhead guys has no yt or twitch where he gives updates and so for subtley?
Fuu? I don't think so.
No
Hmm is there antoher good channel u can recommend? S1 i played assa and was watching the stuff from the author on yt and it helped me improve my performance from purple parser to orange
And im new to subtley so vids helps me in the beginning

A full guide on how to use Subletly rogue in 11.0.5 going through gearing talents single target and aoe rotations with a sheet to help and with reminders on how to play.
Baseline talents to export Remember you can move talents around like I said works both for M+ and ST but some changes af...
its for this most recent patch so not fully updated but core ideas are the same, just make sure you read the up to date guides to see what differs
He was alaos a green at some point here and still very active here, so might be one of the best soruces
more videos and other useful stuff, will prob be updated over the next couple of weeks
Stick to the left side as its trickster, which will be better and easier to learn
Ye ive heard that it will be better
Assa was not too complicated but heared sub will be a bit harder but i give sub a try in s2🔥
Dmg looks nice and aoe is smooth
Just a bit worried about the downtime when shadow blade is not up
I looks a bit clunky withou cooldowns
it's supposed to be slower outside of flag/blades
I don't play assa cause fuck assa but sub has a lil steep learning curve cause you have burst windows that you cannot fuck up otherwise your damage is in the pits, but everything makes sense and with practice you'll get a feel for it
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
And also mainly switching because the single target of assa in mythic+ looks so fking bad😅
your big cd windows are effectively scripted outside of shadowcraft resets so practicing them is very beneficial
i miss the days when backstab hit like an absolute truck so we stacked haste for energy regen for more backstabs, shadow dance was only to cast ambush, which hit like a bigger truck, so we stacked haste to get as many ambushes inside shadow dance lol
sub is very lucky that we don't have to trade off aoe for st or vice versa
I am hoping to be back on sub, always liked it, really long as I don't have to play outlaw I'm happy ... just never been able to really get into Outlaw
I just want DfA back, what was that boss that smashed the floor, forget his name, but casting DfA when the floor breaks was the best made it feel like you should do 50x damage!
Main thing why im swithcing in s2 to sub instead of assa😅
Feels so good to not have this trade off
We also glow purple
And the raid looks insane cleave so sub should shine too
do you have a sub guide?
Go do the sub opener rotation on the dummies until you have a broken weapons.
Profit
yo is it fried to macro blades to secret tech? you always want to use it after tech right so is there something I am missing that would make it bad?
u finna need a seperate bind anyway
imagine you are on a pack cds are back mobs are at 15-20% health
you have enough resources to dance it
you send dance
you forgot you decided to macro Blades on sectech
now blades is popped
you alt + f4
and go cry
Personally I have blades + sectec and a sectec + cb macro, minor hiccups so far I've liked it
yeah I was just doing some rotations on dummy and in my head it seemed like a thing that would be do-able
its not no
It helps me hold cb for 2nd sectec
about 0.5%
And antoher short question before im out😅
On aoe pulls is sub dmg ramping up (setup needee) or kinda instant there when clicking cd? Like do we need a lot of setup on a pull (apply some ruptures and other stuff) before we press cds and pump?
you can apply ruptures as the tank is gathering
but don't need to get them onto every mob
don't wanna delay your cooldowns if mobs won't live through them
I find that spending too much time setting up ruptures will result in half the pack being dead by the time you'd cast 2nd sectech
so depends on key lvl etc id say
Yeah 100% but lets say casual 10 keys after the dungeon nerfs
can cast like 3-4
with Replicating Shadows that 6-8 ruptures
if you're really worried just send 2 or 3 casts on bigger/lieutenant mobs
And why do we skill the thing in m+ that when we are out of combat for 6e we get 4 sec of shadoe dance? Seems not really used and waste? of skill point
Its very good
Cuz tanks love chaining und 6 sec is insane long
The First Dance is very worth it, even if you only get it 3 or 4 times in a dungeon
our alternative talents aren't that great
haha ye kinda😂 im a assa main but if u can play then chaining is no problem
