Is secret techniques always first finisher after shadow dance, its always gelt better to get it sooner but I read somewhere that you want 3 stacks of Danse Macabre
rly good that the new zone is not lagging at all
wanna use it first
we don't play around Danse anymore
Bro it happens every single laucnh
getting sectech on cooldown during dance is important
procs fazed and makes our next 2 strikes ignore unseen blade cooldown
and make it so we can fit 2x in our big cd windows easier
and does lots of damage and grants more flawless form
(sectech big button)
@vale pine idk if its a wowhead bug or somehow fixable by an editor, but on the rotation page if you swap the tab from opener to explanation, the contents get stretched outside of the box
on mobile?
no on web
i can look later
idk if its the same on mobile, havent checked
as a web dev I can confirm that building sites for mobile, which were not designed for mobile from the start, is fucking hell
yeah I wouldn't wish that on anyone
using chrome
maybe its browser dependent
sending naked symbols still a thing? or no
on edge its the same for me.. but I have a 3440x1440 monitor, maybe its my resolution
only with secret
that fucks with the code
it does it for me too on chrome
This is why you build for mobile first
no
edge has the same issue
ill see if i can fix it
(currently doing the new zone with my gf, so can't look immidiatly)
i just was so happy that i got mystic transmitter in vault till i realized i cant upgrade it 
looks like a formating problem of the section because other sections work
WTF is this damage
this trickster spec.......might be good
Okay subtlety feels really cool, but aligning those cooldowns, and knowing when and how to stagger their usage instead of full send is quite difficult😅
Like staggering flagellation and shadow blades in our opener, do I still stagger them after the opener or send both together when they come off cd?
The same way you do in the opener ye
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
God save the Fuu
Would it be a noticeable loss of just macroing flag and sb together and just sending both, or is the staggered use recommended?
trickster supremacy 
they have different durations so you want to stagger them
better to end at the same time than start
Yes it would be a noticeable loss
sub eating good atm bois
is there a way to get a spark this week?
team is there a certain cartel we shall pick or is it whatever?
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
why does this talent exist
I mean its nice
Usually better than the shield in raid
is it critical to hit SB before initial hit of sectech, or can i hit it off gcd before the clones?
As long as its up when the clone hits (1s after sectech cast) its fine
It doesnt matter if its before or after sectech
but the initial hit does benefit from shadowblades now
kk ty
or does it not?
It did before too
is it better to cb the first sectect or 2nd?
is there a tldr somewhere about target counts and storm/bp?
just want a condensed rule list
7 or more bp
casual said to bp at 7 and above targets. is the right thing to do? now? I thought it was 5 and above
second in blades always
Yes, then they buffed nimble
And now its 7
and storm inside dance only as second builder with rotten talented. or outside dance with 2+ targets?
At 7 or more you would do the one storm in dance yes
check out the wowhead/iceyveins guides
looks like jpc coming back
Outside of dance its just always at 2+

damn
and then in terms of new tier. are we completely not tracking stacks as of new changes?
or are we trying to game it a little
leaked
ye haha
@buoyant wadi he doesn't know about you
is he living under a rock
its 7 after 11.1 with the buffs we got
you don't have to track, its worth playing around in some scenarios but you're by no means forced to
like important add spawns that line up with our cds, end of m+ packs, etc
during shadowdance outside of SB if the SS doesnt build 6 cps, can I finish on 5 or do I have to send second SS
yeah I mean if it will help to track it I would like to for sure, just catching up on news and discussions since Ive lived in the sin channel this whole tier
!guide
yeah before the tier set nerf it would have been a good idea to know at least when you were at max stacks but post-nerf its not as big
💀
personally I haven't decided yet, might have an icon when its at 10 but it'll be small
build again
anyone else having bug with stealth bar? or just shadow dance?
what kind of bug?
dont see anything in the pins - is escalating blade bugged(again)? its perma on 4 stacks for me
relog
lag can bug it out
ex i start from stealth with shadow strike and my bar does not change to "normal" where i have my backstab
ty
subterfuge?
nope
are you in Undermine zone?

lag pit of hell
yes
!macros
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.
could be lag bc that zone is awful rn
well i hope this is the cause
try in org or somewhere else
hey, do we know what's our best bet for tier early? Do we keep old tier?
New 4pc asap
fortunately we seem to have the highest gain from our tier on our token as of now
which means we should get it very fast if your guild considers that
inside dance we also still use shadowstrike as builders right? and then shuriken storm outside of dance, right?
now they just gotta make it purple
you can storm once as second builder in dance
if you intend to BP
What is the stagger duration for flag then blades? is there a duration or is it just once you 7 stack cps and send a finisher
no more than 8 seconds between flag and blades ideally
cool cool, thank you.
But you usually just go flag > rupture > send dance+symbols
Only exception being if you dont have slice and dice up (aka in the opener), then you do an eviscerate first
how much of a diff is it to skip the evisc (its .007% worse, neat)
and get snd from the evisc in dance
bc you get ub from first strike, then 2 more from the 2 strikes after sectech
so 1k cuts doesn't really do anything unless you highroll
so sub no longer has vanish CDR rotation/talents?
Nope
Im struggling so hard on the opener O_O
how do we manage all the ogcds with situational cds
like secret tech+coldblood
since we dont want to macro it together
so you can macro it together, but you'll need a regular secret technique bind
otherwise if you're still working it out its fine to use the macro all the time
and adjust to the 2nd cb only once you're more comfortable
practice and knowledge
It seems like the default size messed with it, i did remove it and lowered the box size, it now renders correctly in edge for me.
It improved, e.g. the rotation guide should work well on mobile, but if you have problems let me know so i can try finding solutions for it.
I just mean wowhead in general on mobile
idk if I've looked at any of the guides on my phone
ah, interesting
ill show you what i mean
I didn't know that was something you could do on your end
thought that was all wowhead's own backend stuff
Oh wow yeah the rework looks way cleaner, I dig it
looks a lot closer to the desktop version than I'm used to seeing pages
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is two passive trinkets really bad for keys? I dont raid and 2min trinkets seem very awkward
seaforium + motherlode/knife for ex.
hey all, new to sub; something im struggling with is im holding a charge of SD because SB/Flag is coming up, but i ST comes up and i feel like im sitting on it for way too long. is the play just to use that ST and then use SB/Flag when ST is back up?
hold sectech when flag cd =< 20 sec or so
sweet, so it is actually fine to hold it, thanks
yeah, its fine to hold things a little bit to ensure you get 2x sod/dance/sectech in flag+blades
most important part of our damage are those cooldown windows
the dances/sectechs in between are just kinda there
yeah gotcha. and is it 1 charge of SD when flag is at 40?
1 dance + 1 with 30-40sec left on its cooldown when flag is up
and you're safe to send
and 1 sod charge + 1 with 8ish sec left on its cd
so you're playing more wait til flag is up and then see what you have, rather than saving shit in advance for flag?
No you want to send flag asap
its more a question of
"will i be able to do this and still have 2x symbols, 2 dances and 2 symbols in flag?"
!cds
Cooldown Use:
Every 90 seconds you want to cast Flagellation and subsequently Shadow Blades. When these two are up you always want cast 2 Symbols of Death, 2 Shadow Dances and 2 Secret Techniques.
To ensure you have enough cooldown reduction on your Shadow Dance to attain that you need atleast 1 charge and roughly 40 seconds left on your second charge before casting Flagellation.
its more "wait to see what you have for sectech between flags and save things in advance for flag"
gotcha okay, and i guess because of the CD reduction mechanic theres no hard and fast rule for when flag is at X seconds you start saving SD?
like eleem said, flag is way more important so you play around that and having 2x of each for it
correct
cdr can be variable
well, mostly correct
Usually 30 but if youre in a situation where you have 2 charges of dance and 30 seconds left of flag for some reason then you could still send a dance
Since youll still be able to use 2 during your next flag
usually when I send dance when flag is <40 I run into a gap between the double dance
might be a skyfury diff tho
awesome, thank you both so much
Eleem did you piss someone off at youtube where your channel is impossible to search for
lol
I'm subscribed and it still doesn't come up lol

Nice, thanks a lot for your work
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUltGUGtuVw here's his video on how to handle your cooldowns, very helpful
EDIT: This was made during 11.0.5 but its still applicable in 11.1
This opener is for trickster specifically but its almost the same for Deathstalker. If you have any further questions feel free to tag me (@Eleem) in the Ravenholdt Rogue discord.
you typically want transmitter or once season 2 starts house of cards
these trinkets basically line up perfectly with our 1 minute 30 window
does not mean you can't run other trinkets, but you get the highest benefit from them
@hazy breach cute thumbnail
yeah, just wondering if it's THAT far behind, I'll probably get house of cards on dinar after
goat thank you
practice with that and the timeline I linked a bit above and that should help sort things out hopefully
if I should stick it out with 2 passives or face the awkwardness of 2min (signet or smth)
sub benefits from on-use because its a controlled stat boost during our cooldown window
vs potentially not having a passive proc during it or the part of our cooldown window when we do the most damage
so you're not totally inting by running double passive, but you're losing potential damage as opposed to if you're using a 2min trinket in every other flag window
2 on use angle, lmao
2 on use is not bad
you have a lot of downtime
but you never rly want two on use trinkets with stats
so we don't want to mix house of cards with transmitter
these stats are pretty decent for sub right? have in mind i have a vers flask on rn, giving me 2,6k vers
you want a lot of mastery and vers
so looks good, can trade off some crit for more mastery/vers if you have spare gear pieces
nice. we are pumping btw. and not having to press bp that often feels soo good
how good is the current tierset compared to the next one?
how you guyz farming crest RN ?
I don't
we dont really do that
anyone gotten spark fracture?
That's next week, I believe.
you can get some crests but not really worth it atm
i spend some quality time doing the questline in the zone with my GF and had to smile a bit every time she drove into a wall complaining how bad the car controls are.
quality time with those lagg
You can get a load of crests just doing TWW weeklies (Machine, Azj weekly, the four fire things, etc) but it's just the 645 max crests so it's very whatever.
we did most of the quests in the zones quest
also... ||Why... How.. did we end up in zuldazar during the questline, this makes no sense..... ||
any prekey stuff we can do?
id did
you can do the new delves, but they still reward season 1 stuff
the one I did so far in the new zone has a pretty neat layout, I dug it
time to play BnS
didn't love all the fungalmancer ones
How’s sub feeling? Still completely horrid outside of cds?
like, in a good way
was it the gold monster one?
it looked like you wouldn't spend 20 minutes in it
where you're sewer crawling
ye
yeah the one I did was like 5 mins if not less
Both of the new ones felt good to me 'cos they're so small and quick.
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
at an 8
Just and quick in'n out and not getting angry at Brann for once.
i'm excited to see how they fare at 11
yes but thats on purpose
i would say "relaxed"
In CD feels real good, plays exactly like it did before
sounds a lot more positive
when you pull or strike and he's tanking the mobs instantly leap to him
this week is realyl weird
so you gotta be pretty close or you're doing the awkward runback or having to step to them
nothing to do ingame no raid
Its nice
and relaxed
I'm personally a fan of having a cool-off week of getting to explore with no pressure
just enjoy the fun of the zone for the fun of it
Is sub going to be any good in m+?
I think the vibe of Undermine is stellar
Sure
Same.
Rogue had nothing happen for them for s2… it sucks because I really like rogue
I do think they should've had M0's at S2 level but otherwise it's chill. Nice to just let people do stuff.
and Drive is gonna be awesome once I'm more used to it and get more customization options
Do they plan on taking a look at rogue at all? This is assuming there are even devs working on rogue 
idk, maybe if they drop 636 gear but you can't upgrade it until next week wouldn't be awful
Rogue is pretty good right now, though.
Performance wise?
Both
You can get some 645 pieces this week via renown / RNG anyway so it's still whatever.
Alchemical Chaos or Tempered Versatility? Two different answers between WoWhead and Icy
It doesnt matter
Didn't know about this!
Not exactly tuning, I just think there should have been some qol changes and bug fixes
Mainly an outlaw thing
But still
okay ty
I got Renown 7 today and bought the boots, took them to 645 'cos it's the easy crests that are worthless haha
we got many bugfixes
Radiant Power or Authority of the Depths for M+?
some of them are buffs
Vet caps at 645, for context.
There were many fixes
Trickster? Is it finally completely fixed?
they just didn't list a single bugfix in the patch notes
trickster is in a very good spot bug-wise
Yeah it’s why I assumed they just didn’t do anything
The blade flurry thing is functioning perfect with shadow blades and all that?
Oh
💀
Top of the list
I personally don't think that's a bug
unless it worked at one point
because blades damage is its own thing outside of melee/evisc/strike/etc
I'd like it to for sure
Ye
Idk.. feel like THE damage cooldown should be affected by the thing that supplies our aoe in trickster
but the way its designed its just adding damage into its own pool of "Shadow Blades Damage"
THE damage cooldown is flag
And SecTec
Flag is nothing without SB
ehhh debatable
On Aoe it is
Sec technique isn’t really a cd imo, it’s up early enough to be used many times in a rotation
Sec tech is the reason I like sub tho, feels good to press
Sec Tech is the best ability for rogue. Sick animation
Yessirrrr
the way we orient our damage around it is definitely cooldown territory
and how it affects trickster especially
any reason why this isn't groovy? i found myself only casting them together so figured just do a macro
That’s a good point, you set up everything around making it hit as hard as possible
if it didn't have all the extra implications with it I'd totally agree with you
its just a very loaded button
i use a macro for flag + transmitter
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
think its nice
Transmitter… thank god it’s gone
yeah i meant more just why its not working lol, i triple checked the spelling on Flagellation
lol for who
sick animation has trinket contract from Kyveza boss and thats unfortunately
Jump 3 times 🤖
Should you macro SoD ?
no
no
RIP my fingers
Will be gone at least, need a few more weeks
it has too many "if/then" conditions
I learned recently that you can use spell id's in macros
the issue with subtlety and macros is you'd need just as many macros as natural binds to cover the different scenarios you'd use those macros
i thought about terrorizing people by suggesting macros with spell id's
so it's not really a benefit

ah if i press the button before my gcd is up it does the transmitter but not flag
I use tempered potion item id
bc if I don't it doesn't use it
like in our full clear last night

yes, also if you are not in melee you would not flag
Are you guys pretty okay tho with sub for now? Tier set seems decent. Dark brew??
No dark brew
Sub is poised to be pretty great this season, our tier set is still strong in spite of the nerf
trickster gameplay is incredibly fun
Not worth? Makes sense with trickster at least
we have a good 1.5 minute trinket
Non annoying trinket?
idr the last sim I did between db and non-db but it was close

Niceee
and we have a fair amount of gearing options for our off-tier slots
and near-equal weapons from raid and m+
and the raid dagger is from an early boss
Yeah I’m planning on playing like 8 alts, if they’re fun enough I’ll probably play it
so all in all, sub is looking pretttttty cozy
We are vibing
Dude how much free time do you have
MMs rework made it super fun tbh
dark brew can be played in mthic+ but you typically just stick with the rotten talent setup
when i have coup de grace, do i vanish in the opener cause i cant shadowstrike after vanish?
are you guys okay with always sounds negative tho
cause i cant shadowstrike after vanish
hows db simming for you lately? last I remember it was like .4% diff
I mean I’m not grinding each character like a main, i try to at least get weekly stuff done on each
pumped for sub play. coming back to rogue feels good. just gotta relearn it 😛
Oh i thought you meant like
Full vault
Raiding on em all
Shit like that XD
it should be not too far off in dungeon sims, single target a bit more behind
Bats own
the more time I've spent on here and in ptr the better perspective I've had lately and a bit less doom
Yeah I probably have like 3 or 4 that are taken more seriously than the rest, but yeah I just like messing around with all the classes for variety
anyone knows?
should I still be simming in mimiron for now or is it good to switch back to raidbots?
I do have the simc desktop app too but I can never tell if I'm using the right version lol
Why would you not be able to shadowstrike
Idk if i can focus on 2 let along 4
i wanna play BM and ASSa
especially as assassination can be bleed now
Instead of
i think the context is: in a macro
I can barely play one character well.
Immense power to those who can play multiple. Hell yeah
Envenom --> FoK --> Envenom --> FoK --> Mutilate -->Envenom --> FoK --> Envenom --> FoK --> Mutilate -->Envenom --> FoK --> Envenom --> FoK --> Mutilate -->
try to get 2k rio on like eight diff classes
this season I'm just gonna play my rogue
maybe an alt
Yeah that sounds interesting, ass can be pretty fun sometimes
https://streamable.com/gw5yak
you can see it here
i cant use shadowstrike after vanish in this video
Well coup breaks your vanish
Just strike from the shadows ?!?!?
So you can just wait with the vanish
Until coup is over
You dont need to vanish 0.8s before youre supposed to strike

the phrase "are you okay with" always has a bit of a negative tone is all i am saying

Ohh - you were referring to his message
Not sure, im not actually that invested in pokemon anymore tbh 
appreciate all the hardwork you put into helping all of us @vale pine ! its nice to jump back into a class i enjoy and have a source to learn from.
Its just a meme among some friends that i never swap pfp and ive had raichu since i created my skype forever ago
sorry, the answer we were looking for was "Klawf"
Fiar
Mines hydriegon
Love that guy
shiny klawf is op
is it true that we want to use black powder with trickster only when 7 or more targets?
Yep
No fake news here
I mean
David just gave a bad pokemon opinion
So like
Fake new

Klawf is ballin
Also oh boy

Demo
Guys is there a reason rupture is used directly after flag
So you dont need to refresh it during the later parts of flag
Where you have more stacks and shadowblade/shadow dance active
anyway to get around accidentally backstabbing after pressing vanish?
boys, the catalyst charge we got this week, that's a s2 charge, yes?
Sorry if this has been asked before: a CB + SecTech macro is fine as long as I have a regular SecTech keybind right? Nothing else I'd ever want to CB?
!wa
Had a mw healing like 400K on a 15
Also group damage was uhh
Keep in mind im playing bleed build X)
Hi guys, in the opener, SB and Flag are split slightly (by a gcd or two). should i be sending each of em on cooldown, or wait for them both to be up before sending on 2nd set of cds?
They should come up close to each other
Because they’re both 1.5min cds
So you’ll send flag first because it has a longer duration
And blades should be pretty close behind by a few seconds
As long as blades is cast before the first set of Sectech clones hit (1 second after the cast/physical hit)
anyone who uses luxthos WA. Do you know how to reduce/increase the transparancy of "utility" icons when they are OFF CD?\
Like most of our cooldowns, you don’t need every single one to be 100% up before you start the window
is this from a larger sheet?
Which is an adjustment for people who are used to specs that just send everything as soon as it’s up
if so can i steal a link
Hachadino’s
Thanks dave, you've answered me a couple of times, always with solid advice. it's much apriciated whilst i get back into the swing of the spec after multiple expacs healing 😄
Happy to help! It’s a weird spec to get used to and a lot of the moving parts don’t make sense out of the box
St is kinda ass with it no?
dont steal it its free
ty
been playing sub while questing and stuff but time to learn more than the first 20 seconds of combat
The first 25 are arguably the most important lol
Yep
VERY ass
like
Holy shit you canno't do that much levels of bottom
And i was still top dps in the first 2 bosses
PLEASE ignore how those 2 are 100% ad fights
Also, I pulled all of the snd logic out of the apl for fun and it only simmed .004% worse so you can jump into cool downs in the opener even faster if you ever need to
i've officers asking about uploading for wowaudit. should i wait a while for APL to update or should it be okay sending it now?
That’s a fuu/Eleem question, I’m still just tinkering for fun lol
So you can send the wowaudit 
Brilliant, thanks!
np
I like that we don’t loose st 
I mean I’m playing BM and assa
BM became easier because we lost 2 buttons and gained one
And by gained one

I mean that button is LITERALLY the lowest possible point in prio list
Ye true
What button was it?
And what's gone?
I guess cobra shot with no boar stacks is lower?
Dire beast and kill shot / dark arrow
We still have kill shot talented but that’s cause you can’t un talent it
And in ST idk if you even run ES
So ST
All of the buttons we use are:
cobra shot
Barbed shot
Kill command
Beastial wrath
Call of the wild
I think that’s all the buttons you’d use as BM in a patchwork fight
And you can move freely while doing so
Yep
And it’s not punishing at all unless you drop frenzy stacks
Which is like impossible w the 4set
Which btw is a like 28% dps increase
Damn almost pre nerf sub numbers
You can track your sht stacks
"Shadowcraft refund sound trigger" could help
and you can also track shadow techniques
if you have 7 or more in Symbols, it's gonna refund
ok
my ping is kinda shit so just reacting to it doesnt work very well
but the sound might help
and i'll track shadow techniques
I use colored circles around my cp so if I see yellow I know I’m getting a reset
That sounds cool
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah LE's wa has it tracked next to the cps nicely, i just need to get used to it
does find weakness not impact our BP target count at all? i remember on lauinch of 11.0.5 this being a topic where people disagreed on. the wowhead rotation just says 'bp 7+ targets', so my current assumption is FW doesnt influence rotation at all
On 7 or more targets you would storm once during dance with rotten up to make sure everything has fw
so we still play rotten and no finality
Yes

Do you guys use Cold Blood for anything but Secret tech ?
- 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.
Alright I see, thx. I'm totally new to sub, all those lil details are a kinda overhelming ngl
Hug the dummy for a couple hours and you will be fine
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
Yeah that's what I'm planning this week before S2 starts; always been sin OTP
is shuriken storm more effective than backstab at 2+ targets?
Yes
Tried doing a search for this but haven't found an answer yet.
On action bar 2 (so one that doesn't change based on whether I'm stealthed) I have a keybind for Shadowstrike.
I can hit this in stealth as expected but then as many times as I want out of stealth as well. My details log shows many casts of the ability (not attributed to Backstab).
If I put the same keybind on action bar 1 (the one that changes based on whether I'm stealthed), as soon as I use Shadowstrike the first time in stealth it then changes to Backstab as expected.
I don't have Subterfuge talented. Not sure what's going on but clearly I'm missing something. This is my literal first day ever checking out sub so I apologize if this is silly.
Even if you're playing without find weakness on Shuriken storm? Do you backstab to apply it ?
Shuriken storm also applies it
what about in shadow dance?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I was not pressing shadow dance in that example
then it is normal, you dont have subturfuge
action bar 1 changes based on whether you are in stealth or not. Its been so long since I set up my bars so I can't remember if using Shadow Dance changes action bar 1 to the stealth bar. That might the issue.
It does change it
the tooltip says it requires stealth though and i'm neither stealthed nor in shadow dance
if you were in shadowdance it would be shadowstrike
if you were in stealth, it would also be shadowstrike
Is Subterfuge played ? I'm new to sub and every talent tree Ive seen so far do not use it
i just tested it, if you are not able to use stealth abilities it would revert to backstab
No, its absolutely awful
Alright, one less thing to worry about while learning sub haha
thats a good idea though, valhalaar.
i feel like i either didn't explain it well enough or i'm still missing something
hopefully this clears up what i was explaining
can i do that though without a consequence?
Yep looks like a bug

the fuck!
Try relogging
you just discovered a bug
I hate when bars change due to stealth, keep them the same always
If I put the same keybind on action bar 1 (the one that changes based on whether I'm stealthed), as soon as I use Shadowstrike the first time in stealth it then changes to Backstab as expected.
can i do this without consequence btw?
can i just use 1 key for both builders
It's useful for backstab/shadowstrike on the same button. Tho it's doable with a macro I guess ?
this is how it's supposed to work from what i've been reading
and that IS how my action bar 1 works
but when it's on another bar it is infinitely usable (for me at least, at the moment)
wdym Backstab does not get replaced with Shadowstrike when stealth/dancing ?
Is that a macro for ss youre using or is that just the spell on your second bar
Where backstab is
i have zero macros
all just the abilities themselves
Lmao
That's exactly what I was saying lol but thx
i'm not crazy i swear

But you don’t need a macro 
How can you macro 2 things that are on the gcd together
yup yup
Hahahaha
I believe you Im just shocked
You can condition stealth/non stealth
any1 has a target count tracker weak aura I'm dumb and cant find one
It just isn’t necessary
But why not just have it on the stealth bar
Same keybind on bar 1 seem way less complicated yup
It’s the opposite
you could just use the AE tracker for arcane and repurpose it? 😄
My point exactly yes
guys do we know best raid spec for 11.1? or still no sims
how big of dps diff are we talking if you press cb on cd vs like its recommended in the command?
!cb
- 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.
.6%
Sims aren’t meant for picking a spec
I mean, I have to play the best spec for my guild progress so.. I'd like to know which one is the best for raid (or st) if we have info about that
That isn’t what sims are used to decide
A spec simming higher does not mean it will do more damage in raid

Sub feels most rewarding
I might be dumb sorry lol. At the end do you put backstab and shadowstrike on the same keybind on bar 1, respectively no stealth and stealth bar ? Your "that's the opposite" confused me
I see, and do we have any info about specs from raid tests or these were long time ago?
Just have them on same keybind but one being stealth and non stealthed
Unless you are WR20 the best spec right now won’t matter
aight, thanks
Alright that's what I did ty
yeah damage doesnt matter, being alive doing mechanics matters
Bless
Sub is the most thicccccc spec so
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yes exactly 
Play what you like and reroll Fotm after the first couple rounds of balancing if you wish to play the "strongest" spec
The rest of your stealth bar can be exactly the same as your non stealth bar
Alright gotcha thx ❤️
Just having backstab swap to strike 
I'm trying to learn sub after countless hours playing sin. I have the feeling that I'm doing that for nothing and will end playing sin S2 anyway 
unless there's like 20% dps diff on certain boss encounters
play what you find fun. sub and sin will likely be in a very similar spot as per usual
I know ~everything about sin so kinda bored to play it, but sub seems kinda overhelming when you never touched it although it seems pretty fun
The burst windows are fairly scripted, so once you get used to them the main thing you need to worry about is the timing of them
1.2%
And thats assuming you never use it outside of blades
oh did it grow?
(which you can do, but you need to use it pretty much immediately when it gets of cd otherwise you need to delay flag, which is not good)
Ye because tier buffs sectech
check the new guide that fuu put up
explains the opener really well

I heard the icy veins one is alright too 
why is my evis glowing 24/7
i have been in and out of combat for over an hour and it wont stop glowing
relog
Usually nobody cares about prepatch numbers. Tuning is based on next content so just enjoy
probably will
show 95th or 99th percentile pls
they shouldnt nerf for prepatch numbers
but blizzard did nerf warrior week 1 of 11.0
so
we'll see xd
Nope just more of them 
Mostly Coup lag bug that we’ve seen for a while
Nah it was super easy, you just use some of the built in circle textures and set the trigger to be the specific shadow tech stack
this lag is unreal
nah it's real

Is it advised to macro Fireworks Hat with Transmitter to get some firework for the jumping quest?
sorry if this is a dumb question but im just getting back into rogue this patch, does the supercharged combo point work the same as shadowlands where i have to land on it, or does it work if i just use full combo points
Your next 1-2 finishers after using symbols will count as having bonus cp from supercharger
ty
so are we not using killing spree?
i thought everyone was freaking out we were using it but i see it in no builds
it might be hard to use killing spree as this spec
this is purples
Maybe we should steal killing spree from the pirates too
Who does the sims?

!macros
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.
Yes
But embellishments are very weak overall and dont matter much at all
is shadowdance + symbols of death macro so troll?
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.

wait, arent we suppose to get 1 item from the 1st 2 pinnacle chest?
got no item on my 2nd chest XD and it was a pinnacle one
some of my chars only got one as well
Whats the chances of getting a vers/crit Roulette ring from the one armed bandit
some of your characters got 1 and some got 2?
Cuz I cooked a higher sim
rank 1 silken court parse means something this week right
surely it's not clown fiesta
Got 105 weathered and 30 carved
And got like 1200 valorstones from raid and other stuff
oh i thought one of you teal bois had like 100+ in both but maybe im trippin
Haven’t done any pinnacle chests yet, just got home from work
definitely possible to get 100 in both
Ye
most of mine are just from weekly chests
and i think lvl 6-7 delves should be giving carved
but i havent done it myself
I don’t think so, I did an 8 and didn’t get any
Just valorstones and a 603 or 608 champ piece
the carved crests specifically say 6-7
Idr what ilvl
is why i think people arent getting them on 8
havent tested it myself yet though, will try in a bit
Is it just pinnacle chests from undermine that can give 645 gear or any
so far thats the only one that gave me item
the 3 delve pinnacle gave me nothing, same for other guildie
i also only got gear from the undermine weekly
Ah I figured all the regular zone events are still s1 coded
And I don’t think you can leave them and open next week
I can’t remember if they made them loot-locked when you get them or open them
how?
And loot fiesta next week
I wanted to do that and get a bunch of bountiful keys but not doable
weeklies give s2 crests
scratch that, its random
friend of mine just got his 2nd veteran item
from the 3 delve weekly
so did i just get scammed or something
i hate blizzard
also a 6 did not give crests, so i think the only source of carved crests is weeklies
Can someone explain to me why at step 13. you spam shadowstrike into black powder and not shuriken storm into black powder?
Nimble flurry
Strike does significantly more damage than shuriken storm, and procs unseen blades for coup
guys I have a question, I'm practicing the st rotation and sometimes my cp are refounded back, why is that? I was reading talents and didn't see anything
Shadowcraft, talent
ahh oke makes sense thanks!!
my weakaura makes a noice when the cp are refunded very nice
Oooh, okay I didn't know that prios the shadowcraft cp first
if your shadowcraft CPs are at 7 or higher you'll get a refund
ok but then if we use SoD prepull we don't use shadowstrike after vanish no?
on opener I mean
What
Anyone know if Ptr keys still live, or did they take them down this time
I mean, this is on wowhead, we use symbols of death on prepull no?
Ye like 30+ seconds before
All the prepull does is to make you have 2 superchargers on pull, its not a big deal
oh, just for the superchargers
okok I get it now, I was doing the opener using SoD on prepull and I was like wtf, why would I use SS there if I'm already 5cp
But it wouldnt matter much either way
7*
vet track haste/mastery legs, barf
mine was shoulders i cant use bc tier

if i absolutely had to run vigor (or at least with 1 point of it) what talents would be safe to drop
It’s a world content conspiracy
depends on what else you're talented into
Cold blood
Although its absolutely not recommended
I thought you were memeing for a second
Vigor + 2 lethality does sim better than tea 
i hate feeling energy starved
Ye vigor aint gonna do shit for that
and didnt get a 2nd one
!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".
if it aint your thing, then yeah
i like most everything else about it
The backstabs practically do the same damage as auto attacks anyway
you are quite literally afk for 30s every 90s

@tepid trellis yo cuh
Do we know how many seconds of finishers does first dance give? combat vs being in combat finishing for cdr?
Like how big is the value of first dance? Should be bigger than being in combat proportionate to being out of combat 
Or?
1x finisher at 7 cp is 3.5sec cdr
but almost all of your dmg is in dance
so its not that simple
it's just a custom one checking for the spell id; i haven't published it but i could give you the import string if you want
So vanishing to leave combat while mob is 5% hp I have nothing to press
To get first dance on the next chain pull
Worth?
potentially could be
Ok ok cuz that’s what I do

It’s mandatory sometimes
But sometimes it feels “ok”
Depends on how aggressively I used my dances
Idk what else to minmax now
I might be in the phase where I optimize my rotation well only
damn thats def worth tbh
Ofcourse
even if was technically less dam, dam on 4% end of mob pull doesnt matter. more dance dam on next pull
for first dance into boss you mean ?
Why am I sharing what I do in keys I need ppl to suck so I can gap ppl
Yea
yeah fs
What’s fs
for sure
and bro we not going to be in same key, no one taking double sub
even tho you did play with my tank friend on ptr a bit

See I took ur spot
