most of them are playing sub now lol

fickle mason
#

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

vale pine
#

rly good that the new zone is not lagging at all

swift tinsel
#

we don't play around Danse anymore

mint swift
swift tinsel
#

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

vale pine
#

on mobile?

proven plover
#

no on web

vale pine
#

i can look later

proven plover
#

idk if its the same on mobile, havent checked

gl with anything on wowhead mobile

#

as a web dev I can confirm that building sites for mobile, which were not designed for mobile from the start, is fucking hell

swift tinsel
#

yeah I wouldn't wish that on anyone

vale pine
#

i try tits aligned for me

#

is that firefox or chrome?

proven plover
#

using chrome

vale pine
#

maybe its browser dependent

solid vale
#

sending naked symbols still a thing? or no

proven plover
#

on edge its the same for me.. but I have a 3440x1440 monitor, maybe its my resolution

vale pine
#

only with secret

proven plover
#

that fucks with the code

swift tinsel
#

it does it for me too on chrome

no

#

ill see if i can fix it

Dont worry dude, its for sure not Urgent

#

Enjoy!

i just was so happy that i got mystic transmitter in vault till i realized i cant upgrade it F_

vale pine
#

looks like a formating problem of the section because other sections work

hybrid wave
#

WTF is this damage

void hound
#

this trickster spec.......might be good

serene moat
#

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?

they have different durations so you want to stagger them

hazy breach
#

Usually better than the shield in raid

hexed dagger
#

is it critical to hit SB before initial hit of sectech, or can i hit it off gcd before the clones?

hazy breach
#

As long as its up when the clone hits (1s after sectech cast) its fine

#

It doesnt matter if its before or after sectech

void hound
#

but the initial hit does benefit from shadowblades now

hexed dagger
#

kk ty

void hound
#

or does it not?

hazy breach
#

It did before too

void hound
#

oh yeh right

#

forgot only the clones were bugged

#

is it better to cb the first sectect or 2nd?

hexed dagger
#

is there a tldr somewhere about target counts and storm/bp?

#

just want a condensed rule list

hazy breach

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

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

And now its 7

glossy turtle
#

nice!

#

that is great

hexed dagger
#

and storm inside dance only as second builder with rotten talented. or outside dance with 2+ targets?

hazy breach
#

At 7 or more you would do the one storm in dance yes

looks like jpc coming back

hazy breach

Outside of dance its just always at 2+

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

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

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.
swift tinsel
#

could be lag bc that zone is awful rn

vocal salmon
swift tinsel
#

try in org or somewhere else

cedar willow
#

hey, do we know what's our best bet for tier early? Do we keep old tier?

swift tinsel
#

New 4pc asap

proven plover
#

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

glossy turtle
#

inside dance we also still use shadowstrike as builders right? and then shuriken storm outside of dance, right?

void hound
#

if you intend to BP

hushed pendant
#

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

swift tinsel
#

no more than 8 seconds between flag and blades ideally

hushed pendant
#

cool cool, thank you.

hazy breach
#

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

swift tinsel
#

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

tulip galleon
#

so sub no longer has vanish CDR rotation/talents?

worn cape
#

Nope

small epoch
#

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

swift tinsel
#

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

I just mean wowhead in general on mobile

#

idk if I've looked at any of the guides on my phone

vale pine
#

ye, it slowly gets better

#

part of why i changed the section was for mobile

swift tinsel
#

ah, interesting

vale pine
#

ill show you what i mean

swift tinsel
#

I didn't know that was something you could do on your end

#

thought that was all wowhead's own backend stuff

vale pine
#

this is the old section on mobile

#

vs. the reworked one

swift tinsel
#

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

#

is two passive trinkets really bad for keys? I dont raid and 2min trinkets seem very awkward

#

seaforium + motherlode/knife for ex.

dark pine
#

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?

swift tinsel
#

hold sectech when flag cd =< 20 sec or so

dark pine
#

sweet, so it is actually fine to hold it, thanks

swift tinsel
#

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

dark pine
#

yeah gotcha. and is it 1 charge of SD when flag is at 40?

swift tinsel
#

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

dark pine
#

so you're playing more wait til flag is up and then see what you have, rather than saving shit in advance for flag?

hazy breach
#

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

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

swift tinsel
#

general timeline to use for practice

swift tinsel
dark pine
#

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?

swift tinsel
#

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

hazy breach
#

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

swift tinsel
#

usually when I send dance when flag is <40 I run into a gap between the double dance

#

might be a skyfury diff tho

dark pine
#

awesome, thank you both so much

swift tinsel
#

Eleem did you piss someone off at youtube where your channel is impossible to search for

#

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

void hound
#

@hazy breach cute thumbnail

snow vapor
#

yeah, just wondering if it's THAT far behind, I'll probably get house of cards on dinar after

swift tinsel
#

practice with that and the timeline I linked a bit above and that should help sort things out hopefully

snow vapor
#

if I should stick it out with 2 passives or face the awkwardness of 2min (signet or smth)

swift tinsel
#

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

snow vapor
#

2 on use angle, lmao

vale pine
#

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

glossy turtle
#

these stats are pretty decent for sub right? have in mind i have a vers flask on rn, giving me 2,6k vers

vale pine
#

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

glossy turtle
#

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 ?

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.

and Drive is gonna be awesome once I'm more used to it and get more customization options

flint umbra

Do they plan on taking a look at rogue at all? This is assuming there are even devs working on rogue ReallyDEAD

Oh

💀

#

Top of the list

swift tinsel
#

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

hazy breach
#

I mean ye it makes sense

#

But it feels bad

swift tinsel
#

I'd like it to for sure

keen dome
#

Ye

flint umbra
#

Idk.. feel like THE damage cooldown should be affected by the thing that supplies our aoe in trickster

swift tinsel
#

but the way its designed its just adding damage into its own pool of "Shadow Blades Damage"

haughty mural
#

THE damage cooldown is flag

keen dome
#

And SecTec

flint umbra
#

Flag is nothing without SB

swift tinsel
#

ehhh debatable

hazy breach
#

On Aoe it is

flint umbra
#

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

acoustic lodge
#

Sec Tech is the best ability for rogue. Sick animation

flint umbra
#

Yessirrrr

swift tinsel
#

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

vale pine
#

I learned recently that you can use spell id's in macros

swift tinsel
#

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

swift tinsel

so it's not really a benefit

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?

swift tinsel
#

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)

dry jacinth
#

anyone who uses luxthos WA. Do you know how to reduce/increase the transparancy of "utility" icons when they are OFF CD?\

swift tinsel
#

Like most of our cooldowns, you don’t need every single one to be 100% up before you start the window

Which is an adjustment for people who are used to specs that just send everything as soon as it’s up

Explosive shot

#

Well

fallow nimbus

And what's gone?

mint swift

I guess cobra shot with no boar stacks is lower?

mint swift
#

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

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

  • 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.

is shuriken storm more effective than backstab at 2+ targets?

hazy breach
#

Yes

sick plank
#

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 ?

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 ?

#

!burst

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

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".
