main wing
#

dam, my gear was full crit mastery

keen dome
#

It's how we are.

main wing
#

maybe 3% haste

hollow spear
#

Lemme delete that

#

People might believe me despite every single guide saying the opposite

main wing
#

weird tho isnt it

#

i mean if its the gamestyle im down, but weird

hollow spear
#

Why weird

#

It's a burst class

#

It would be weird the other way round

main wing
#

ye but being almost afk while in combat is weird

cursive vapor
#

is there any other burst class which is similar to sub in burst?

hollow spear
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

to be fair it's probably the worst case of down time any spec in the game has

main wing
#

dev?

vestal escarp
#

Statistics are unreliable rn

hollow spear
#

Yeah it's quite slow

#

A bit like sin before 11.0.5

tribal blade
#

it seems like an extremely common thing people find about sub when first coming to it

#

it took me a LONG time to stop getting tilted outside of cds

plush roost
#

I like being useless out of cds

#

Makes me a good job doer

main wing
#

i would just love to understand why would a class designer would want the player to be almost afk in combat
im ok if thats the design

plush roost
#

Doesn't feel bad using 7cp kidney shot

tribal blade
#

it does have a big upside where you can know if you're not in cds you're good to int what you're doing

#

rotation wise

#

because it's not gonna make a big difference

#

something like outlaw they fuck up at any point it's a huge snowball effect

rain stratus
#

I mean you still have to press your buttons since it allows you to somewhat maintain your damage through CDR and small mini-burst dances outside CD's

tribal blade
#

yeah of course

vestal escarp
#

Thats the worst part

tribal blade
#

cdr on dance is criminal

rain stratus
#

It's more criminal that the CDR on dance and SecTech aint the same

vestal escarp
tribal blade
#

the whole idea of cdr is the more you cdr = you get more casts of the spell

#

because you can hit it on cd

#

dance you cannot hit on cd

plush roost
#

Should just make dance 16 seconds long with a 45 second cd and be done with it

#

Smile

tribal blade
#

and you're just cdring to maintain what you need

plush roost
#

Thats what we have during cds anyway

wild vine
plush roost
#

Its just back to back

tribal blade
#

it is!

wild vine
#

Whenever you dance

#

No other sectec cd

plush roost
#

Noway i like sneaking in a fat 6 stack danse sec tec when using tfd in aoe

vale pine
#

secret tech goes brr

keen dome
#

the secret technique is the big crit

plush roost
# vale pine secret tech goes brr

Hey fuu since you're here, is there a reason your sim has so much crit chance on the gear? Is it really that more valuable over more mastery/verse? Obv the robot knows best but i was just kinda surprised to see crit/mast neck and gloves on the top gear sim

hollow spear
#

Trickster likes crit

#

It wants me to move out of vers and get more crit

main wing
plush roost
#

Thats so crazy to me, whats the crit % you're at currently?

hollow spear
#

Wait until you mess up your rotation during burst and do tank dmg

keen dome
main wing
keen dome
#

It's a learning experience. We've all done it.

plush roost
#

Was doing keys on ptr with an outlaw main and yeah can confirm tank damage is real

main wing
#

37yo my cognitive ability is too old for rogue

plush roost
#

Poor guy ended floodgate with 2.2m overall

hollow spear
plush roost
#

Like 25+% decent?

hollow spear
#

I'm okay with having another decent stat tbh

plush roost
#

Off the top of ya head

hollow spear
#

No idea

night sparrow
#

Learning sub be like

keen dome
hollow spear
#

Sub is an experience

plush roost
#

Yeah I'm definitely happy to hear crit has some value on sub now compared to season 1 and df

hollow spear
#

It already had some value in s1 on trickster

main wing
#

what a simple guy wanna do, just press buttons
sub - nope.

keen dome
#

I'm glad my lockbox didn't lose it's upgrade levels in the season swap.

wild vine
plush roost
vale pine
main wing
keen dome
hollow spear
#

Yeah, but the difference between crit and vers on a piece at max was like 400 dps for me

#

Maybe less

#

Which is probably inside the error

vale pine
#

now that season 2 is closer, i can jinx it

#

my assumption that season 2 tier sets follow a similar pattern to DF was wrong

#

the tier set does not try to force deathstalker ahead of trickster

#

and i am happy about that

hollow spear
#

Dude

#

Delete all that

keen dome
vale pine
#

(to be clear, i made that prediction in season 1, not knowing any details about season 2)

hollow spear
#

Emergency hotfix in preparation as of now

vale pine
#

haha

steel zinc
keen dome
#

it was a good thought though. S2 making people play the lesser used hero tree. I remember I also speculated that they would've also reworked the entire tree by then but uh

#

guess that's not happening.

proven plover
#

Rogue already got its rework garf_sit

steel zinc
keen dome
#

But we don't have a posion toggle yet.

hollow spear
#

Coup now increases evis damage by 50%, but does not add cp. BP buffed by 50%.

#

Heard it here first

main wing
#

talent-wise this is the best version of sub i played

vale pine
#

ironically we now play rotten

steel zinc
vale pine
#

DS is not that far behind

#

like

#

you can play it if you want, for any reason thats not dps related

keen dome
steel zinc
vale pine
#

maybe

fringe palm
vale pine
#

haha one can hope

worn cape
#

Seems normal House of Cards is already an upgrade over my heroic transmitter by 0.1%. Didn't expect that tbh.

dense geode
#

yea we are going to be op

#

when hunters exist like this

cobalt vapor
#

Transmitter has a coggyl penalty too. Fuck that trinket

vale pine
wild hornet
#

So do i open the weekly cache now or on reset day, ive heard about something with item levels carrying over or smth

vale pine
#

mythic one tho

#

is quite good

steel zinc
#

It's like boon just get good using it

worn cape
#

I don't mind, I am just glad to set and forget soonish

#

Can we craft a weapon next week already?

steel zinc
vale pine
#

One thing people forget is

#

any slot you carry over from seaosn one

#

is one slot you can't get stronger with

#

so if other classes can get 1 or 2% upgrades from a trinket

steel zinc
vale pine
#

they get to be this 1-2% stronger

#

while we stay the same strength

#

this can make the early balance seem more off than it often is

wild hornet
#

Ive hear smth about the item level rising

steel zinc
#

But all trinkets this season are very meh.

wild hornet
#

If you open the cache on reset day

#

Instead of prepatch

vale pine
wild hornet
steel zinc
wild hornet
#

The status effects arent that crazy

vale pine
#

also they nerfed eye

steel zinc
#

Also endboss trinket go a nerf

vale pine
#

maybe its not bis anymore

steel zinc
#

Yeah I think the one from 2nd last boss is now bis

#

The goon squad one

fringe palm
#

It needed a nerf

vale pine
wild hornet
#

It was a bit overtuned before the nerf it got

rain stratus
#

What's the damage increase postpoing CB to 2nd SecTech in the opener btw?

fringe palm
steel zinc
vale pine
#

its like 0.4% ahead

#

of the 2nd option

#

and the stacks drop

#

fast

vale pine
#

so it becomes rly bad with downtime

#

e.g. in m+

rain stratus
fringe palm
#

Sim it at 8min for actual progress fight durations

wild hornet
#

This is just like cyrces circlet being still bis for half the specs

vale pine
#

it might be a bit better on 8m

steel zinc
#

It is insane considering also 2 execute fights one armed bandit and mugzee

shy scarab
#

will you get dinar early on or later out in the patch?

wild hornet
#

Ive heard something about mid patch

shy scarab
#

lul

steel zinc
#

So next patch everyone gets it

wild hornet
steel zinc
#

Like a quest or so

shy scarab
#

not gonna get the trinket unless you bid 3mill on it then

steel zinc
#

They confirmed it its coming

#

As sub we have alternatives

wild hornet
steel zinc
#

Also we have transmitter and we are fine

shy scarab
#

playing for bis not alternatives brotha

wild hornet
steel zinc
shy scarab
wild hornet
#

Most would just wait for the dinars

shy scarab
#

yeapp for myth track for sure

wild hornet
#

I see people rolling that shit on veteran

shy scarab
#

haha yea... we only got 1 with myth track spymaster lul

vale pine
shy scarab
vale pine
#

it is more of a end of progression system than a real catchup

haughty mural
vale pine
#

which i am not sure is that useful

#

but hey

#

at least we can get house of cards if it never drops during the content

#

boon was annoying asf

steel zinc
#

I find transmitter not as annoying as boon

shy scarab
#

haha boon was fun

#

pop all defensive and boon

steel zinc
#

Yeah but transmitter you won't die really

haughty mural
#

probably personal preference

keen marten
#

I feel like I died more often from transmitter as I died from boon

jaunty umbra
#

boon was miles better

wild hornet
#

So at the end do i save the weekly caches for next week or it doesnt matter and i open them now

vale pine
#

i found transmitter horrible for the first weeks

wild hornet
vale pine
#

you can search my message history and i still have nightmares trying to use it in a >20 player heroic ovinax kill

#

but once you get used to the tasks and mechanism behind it, it is easier to plan around it

#

and as such, not as bad

alpine wraith
#

i just got used to looking a specific way

#

depending

wild hornet
#

"its not that bad" "its a torture device"

naive zodiac

What makes transmitter horrible for me, is the random 3 tasks

Is a 626 transmitter better then a heroic house of cards? Or is transmitter a thing you can get again this season. Meaning the transmitter is above 626 but a still a hero peice

mint swift
#

They call it the treacherous transmitter for a goddamn reason

steep raven
#

Is there any other decent on use buff trinket that aligns with flag/sb? (Aside from House of Cards and transmitter)

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.
sly shore
#

other than that there is absolutely no other trinkets

mint swift
#

That’s just funny to me

#

“Oh boy ok pop all my CDs and.., it’s haste”

sly shore
#

it doesn't do nothing but

wild hornet
#

Now trinkets too

#

Now im waiting for a ring that has a 50% chance it procs 10k mastery or deletes my blizzard account

steep raven
#

So basically until house of cards (if you don't have transmitter) you better off double passive or passive + random on use damage trinket

worn cape
#

the m+ trinket is decent

mint swift
worn cape
#

oh wait that one is passive lol

sly shore
steep raven
#

if 2m then you use it on pull then 3m?

sly shore
#

ye

steep raven
#

Im switching from assa, so I have scardyns. I guess gonna use that at the start

mint swift
#

I’m p sure saying “skardyns” could scare an assa player

alpine wraith
#

yea that one works although try to get any transmitter

#

even if it is a s1 item it is comepetitive

mint swift
#

Simmilar to what saying Zul does in this chat

wild hornet
#

Zul...zulzadar

haughty mural
#

ngl - for a moment before anniversary patch hit, i was thinking we'll get another zul treatment when they decided to remove dust

keen dome
#

I have grown out of my dislike for Zul. I have transcended. I have become Zulless.

haughty mural
#

but it turned out fine

#

so we can forgive the zul incident

keen dome
#

BfA made me into the soft weird manI am today. Without Zul, I'd probably be in the RWF (I wouldn't)

cobalt vapor
#

It wasn't an incident. Who would have thought that designing bosses while ignoring class design is problematic

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
#

the whole expansion or the situation of us ? 😄

short radish
#

por que no los dos

#

nah hearing funnel just sets of ptsd memories, specifically halls of atonement

#

where you had to funnel

#

apskjdlahdlkasjhdaslkdhassad

#

i need a drink

vale pine
#

assassinaiton, enh, mage(to a degree), dh all do better funnel than we do now

#

(or did for a certain amount of time)

short radish
#

i remember shadow something burial grounds where you'd leave the target up for enhance to funnel

haughty mural
#

wounded quarry was kinda funny on ptr

vale pine
#

its just funny

#

that the niche we had, is seemingly less of a problem if its on other classes/specs

#

because we would have seen more nerfs else

short radish
#

blizzard is just scared to give us the slightest drop of funnel being strong

#

cowards.

haughty mural
short radish
#

cowards!

haughty mural
#

hence the tier set gutting

#

they afraid of the burst

short radish
#

actually we've been in a decent spot for the last few patches

haughty mural
#

yeea thats true

#

thankfully

short radish
#

i dont think we've been bottom tier for a while

#

im okay with above average

haughty mural
#

same

#

also less fotms in here

vale pine
#

true

dense geode
#

arent we basically the same as UH dk when they were a 3minute

short radish
#

sub probably has the least amount of fotm

#

everyones always too scared to play it

#

outlaw has the zoomers/crackheads + pistol

#

assi is just comfort

alpine wraith
#

sub can be as fotm as our little echo chamber might expect

#

wont break single digits playrate

#

weird typo

short radish
#

i remember smolderon where liquid or something tried to get more of their raiders to play sub because it was so strong

#

and they straight up went "nah too hard"

clever delta
#

I would not be surprised if after final knob turning would come assa best into season

alpine wraith
#

sub was fine on last 3 bosses of that raid but not exceptional on last 2

#

so they went whatever

short radish
#

ever since the rework assi has been in a pretty good spot

stone patrol
naive zodiac
short radish
#

imagine playing rogue

short radish
#

and i just fall asleep

#

i dunno why. i can play rocket and hold down right click all day in marvel rivals

#

but something about assi just makes me so bored

stone patrol
#

I prefer this playstyle compared to outlaw..Comfy

Opening assa channel just to see ppl crying that they may have to play sub is always hilarious

why would you want a transmitter nerf

I dont get it how the supercharged combo points work.. when I have full combo points and supercharged combo points then my next finisher will be used as I had 8 combo points?

Nobody force you to play it

clever delta
alpine wraith
#

dont worry sub players are also special

#

expecting nerfs

vestal escarp
#

Cant they call for sin buffs?

alpine wraith
#

they already know sin will get buffed no need for that

#

although it might be quite good anyway

naive zodiac
#

on a real note cdr specs suck ass for prog CAUGHT

alpine wraith
#

lots of execute

#

yea mapping cds is so cool when things change a lot

#

(not)

vestal escarp
#

Bandit has giga execute

naive zodiac
#

sub needs 1-2 extra sec cdr on finisher

#

still

alpine wraith
#

no dont do that because then we play DS

proven plover
#

nerf transmitter because I dont have it garf_sit

vestal escarp
#

To do what?

alpine wraith
#

dance cadence would be better yea

#

but we wish

clever delta
#

I like to kick off season with full power trinket

vestal escarp
#

10 more noodle dance per fight?

mint swift
#

Nothing better than dancing with noodles

#

Much better than a noodle dance

alpine wraith
#

they are kinda decent

naive zodiac
#

noodle dance widetime

#

alpine wraith
#

nothing like cds but you can still get some big hits

#

Imexile leak the best cartel

alpine wraith

dont worry they buffed the crit dmg of builders to double kek

#

noggenfogger for sure

clever delta
#

I don't even remember what i have picked

mint swift
#

Love how the music changes depending on cartel choice

#

I went steamweedle

naive zodiac
#

it’s still tight if you lose uptime to get the normal amount of dance uses shrugeg

#

in single target

alpine wraith
#

yep

naive zodiac
#

aoe who cares

alpine wraith
#

if you lose around 20 secs or so

#

you need to plan around

#

if you use the sec tech alone or the CB dance then have to go away

#

adn you lose some uptime

#

you wont have the cdr to double dance on cds

vestal escarp
tribal blade
#

good thing is this raid is a lot of encounters with adds

#

so cdr won't really be a big issue i'm guessing

alpine wraith
#

might be the other way around we will want to min max around the extra cdr

#

like we did on ovi nax

#

sub can never escape the min max

jaunty umbra
#

remove cdr

near copper
#

In AOE do I want to set Rupture to many targets or just the priority one?

If your cds are ready get the one or and go. If they’re not you can start spreading

jade canopy
#

are there anywhere sims for s1 still?

rain stratus
#

With current gear/tier, do we just use SecTech as 2nd finisher in 1st global inside CD's?

alpine wraith
#

1st global

#

first finisher

#

although you begin dance with no cps and strike sec tech sometimes

#

but you get the idea

rain stratus
#

Yea what I'm doing atm is Strike > Flag > Evis > Vanish/Strike > Rupture > Dance/symbols/trinkets > Strike > Blades > SecTech

alpine wraith
#

yea that is fine

#

ideally you blades a bit after sec tech but the diff is so minimal there is no reason to risk just remember cold blood now goes on the second sec tech on cds

rain stratus
#

Yea been getting used to that, thanks!

flint parrot
#

What's more proper sims now guys? Nightly or latest?

honest saddle
#

latest will always be the most up to date

#

nightly is just that, uploaded once a night.

bold urchin
#

Strike sectech blades?

alpine wraith
#

yes but do blades before 1 sec you have around 0.6 secs to press it and it affects the copies

#

at most you get 1 extra global of blades it is nothing huge

leaden prairie
#

sec tech should be on charges zerossthinking

alpine wraith
#

would kinda cool

fallow nimbus
#

2 charges

leaden prairie
#

yes zerossthinking

hazy breach
#

Charges on everything nootlikethis

alpine wraith
#

would make us the kings of flexibility

#

but the nightmare of planners

leaden prairie
#

idk i was thinking what if i hold 2 sod and 2 dance for a damage amp without cds

#

and then i realized

fallow nimbus
#

Dust but worse

leaden prairie
#

i wouldnt be able to double sec tech anywya

#

so fix the game

#

put sec tech on charges

#

no cap

alpine wraith
#

you do that on ovi nax

keen dome
#

Charges -> CDR

alpine wraith
#

you can get 2 sec techs

#

??¿¿

hazy breach
#

Just make it have like 8 sec cooldown but only usable in dance/stealth

leaden prairie
#

there is no way i get a second sec tech in st without blades

alpine wraith
#

that would be fire too

leaden prairie
#

in a tight window

#

you dont have enough cdr

alpine wraith
#

what

leaden prairie
#

ovinax you aoe right so its fine

alpine wraith
#

ah st

#

yea

keen dome
#

Tying SecTec to Dance would also be hella cool

#

More power to the shadowy mamba

fallow nimbus
#

To stealth

alpine wraith
#

the issue is the dances not sec tech btw

#

even on st

#

a bit unluck

hollow spear
#

but it would make the spec a bit more intuitive maybe?

alpine wraith
#

even if you get lucky with sht

#

dance is like ehehe no

#

Hey, I've seen Evi/Rupture sometimes used with 5cp while recommanded is 6. Is there situation when this applies or you should NEVER use at 5 ?

hollow spear
#

My feelycraft tells me that it's ok to Rupture at 5 sometimes. You shouldn't ever have to though, if you planned it well.

hazy breach
#

Its not the end of the world to finish at 5

#

But its slightly better to do it at 6 is all

I tend to reapply rupture above pandemic window sometimes, just to never have to press it during big cds

Alright thx. EG you're at the very end of SB and/or SD, at 5cp, and if you use Bstab or SStrike to get 6+ you enventually use Evi out of SB/SD Window. In this case is this okay to spend Evi on a 5cp to stay in this said window ?

Mugzee and slot machine boss both have execute phases that matter. I think assassination in the raid is going to do better than people expect. Galllywix is a mystery tho

vale pine
#

similar you see the "opener image" also has trinkets, symbols, blades, etc

honest saddle
#

first boss has 2 minuteish amp windows

#

assassination be ok on that

#

but second boss has 1.5 min

#

sub on second for sure

vale pine
#

the image only highlights the move from first to second secret techniques for cold blood, but if you have ideas for improvements let me know

cobalt vapor
#

First boss is where it is at, true

hollow spear
#

how much more damage does sin actually do during execute

#

with how bad it sims rn, it might need perma execute

honest saddle
#

like 20% I think

#

its like 10-20%

dusty totem
lilac stag
#

eleem was estimating if its 2mins or less the specs will be close. if its a 3 min time in execute assa gonna slap it

dusty totem
#

or am i wrong?

honest saddle
#

kek

hollow spear
#

yeah, the buffs were weird

hollow spear
lilac stag
#

correct

#

in mythic you should be able to play both if needed

hollow spear
#

by the time the usual raider reaches the last bosses on mythic, 11.1.5 rebalancing would have happened anyways

lilac stag
#

yeah it's the 6th & 7th bosses

night sparrow
#

Is it me or the Icyveins Raid DPS Tier list is shitty ?

lilac stag
#

first boss will be interesting with 2min burst timer

fringe palm
hollow spear
#

DPS tier lists are always shitty imo

alpine wraith
#

if it is 2 mins you can triple dance that burst

#

just dont dance after the CB in between then you have enough cdr for that

honest saddle
#

its roughly 2 mins. Most guilds are getting there at 1:50 on testing

night sparrow
#

So answer is yes I guess 🥸

upbeat sorrel
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

now the question is is it worth it

hollow spear
#

I am glad I get to raid on Thursday

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

maybe the tech has been figured out by then

honest saddle
#

there are a lot of adds in that phase, hachadino and boss takes double dam. I would think anything you can send is worth

lilac stag
#

we're doing heroic tue, mythic thr

alpine wraith
#

yea i will spoil myself with the NA splits kek

#

oh no dont say adds

#

we might unleash tornado

#

kek

honest saddle
#

NO

hollow spear
#

hell yeah

honest saddle
#

NO NO NO

lilac stag
#

no

honest saddle
#

how dare you

hollow spear
#

he invoked the tornado

lilac stag
#

DH gonna be like Sub on Zul

#

watch them leave adds up

alpine wraith
#

isnt ele or enha better idk what changed for dh

#

for funnel

honest saddle
#

crikeys

lilac stag
#

current tier DH with Blade dance is like instant funnel. its insane. deletes a platform add solo nearly

fringe palm
honest saddle
#

would be amazing if we got there at 1:30

alpine wraith
#

that is cool

#

if it lasts 45 secs we might be able to fit 4 dances

#

sad that the boss is kinda easy

#

so it will die in like 5 pulls

#

but hey

honest saddle
#

it can last 45 seconds if your groupl plays really well

hollow spear
#

and if they dont?

honest saddle
#

I have afeeling a lot of first kills gonna be like 30 seconds

alpine wraith
#

so that means for my raid it will last 20 secs

honest saddle
#

exactly.

alpine wraith
#

well can sneak in cds at least

honest saddle
#

yeah, you will get everything out

#

if adds get to boss and channel or whatever, it lowers the phase cd

hollow spear
#

just send symbols + dance around 1.20 ish, you should be ready at 1.50

#

if we delay flag until 1.50, we might be sitting at 2 dances for like 20-30 seconds if we don't

alpine wraith
#

you dont really delay dances ideally

#

we only can wait to see it really

#

because adds makes cdr weird

hollow spear
#

usually they make it better tho

alpine wraith
#

not worse but it begins to go into the territory of

#

CAN I FIT MORE HERE

hollow spear
#

kinda depends on when they spawn tho

honest saddle
#

I would think you send naked tech symbol at 50

#

and then dance tech symbols at like 1:20

#

and then hold for phase

hollow spear
#

makes sense on paper

#

but I guess it heavily depends on add spawns

alpine wraith
#

depends on more things

hollow spear
#

yeah, but superficially

alpine wraith
#

you would just dance at 80 secs

honest saddle
#

the adds dont really make it to the boss, range kind of kill them, I dunno that we will get a ton of extra cdr

alpine wraith
#

then you will have enough

hollow spear
#

with new fights it's easier for me to not have a list of 10 things to take into account in my rotation

#

(on top of the usual)

alpine wraith
#

no need to complicate things

#

then you get the backup SoD to triple dance on vuln

bold urchin
#

Havent played sub for a Long time is bp shit in aoe? ^^

alpine wraith
#

kinda like we did on smolderon

#

bp hits like a truck

hollow spear
#

you BP on 7+

rain stratus
#

All you need to know is that you only press BP when target count exceeds 7 🙂

bold urchin
#

And before only evis?

#

Okay thx ^^

hollow spear
#

depending on the pulls and comp, you might never use BP

void ocean
#

is it just me or So Tricky doesnt work on Bran

hollow spear
#

with a fury warrior, add count goes from many to few in the blink of an eye

#

at least it did

honest saddle
lilac stag
#

he's technically a pet I think

honest saddle
#

I just put him in tank mode and tricks him

#

and its a joke

void ocean
#

i have my MO macro for tricks and it just gives me 30 sec buff

honest saddle
#

once you hit something

#

that will go to the full length

#

same thing happens in raids or anywhere else for that matter

topaz raptor
#

Trickings him directly from stealth on bosses is / was wonky. theyd act as tho u vanished and fully reset

void ocean
#

its turned on now after like 4-5 tricks

small spade
#

is there a sweet spot to stop pressing cd's and save for shadow blades? Assuming ST dummy fight.

alpine wraith
#

around 25 secs before flag comes off cd

topaz raptor
#

I avoid dance and sub 2 stacks of symbols use once blades / flag are within 25s.

alpine wraith
#

dont use sec tech/SoD dance etc

#

also just in case before you use flag check if dance has 1 charge and around 20 secs left of the next

#

depending on downtime that can affect being able to use 2 dances

#

so you might need to use 1 or 2 finishers extra

#

if you had to go to guatemala to do things

topaz raptor
#

I tried to sub earlier in a 12 key (mind u first time ive touched it outside 5 mins on a dummy since Smolderon prog) and i felt so awkward

small spade
#

hmm so, 1 dance + 20sec for recharge, got it. What about symbols? How many stacks of symbols should I typically have?

vestal escarp
#

!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.

topaz raptor
#

2 with 3 sooner than later coming soon, u need it for each use for sec tech during go window

alpine wraith
#

as you want to press flag usually you have 1 stack and 10 secs for the next

small spade
#

understood, thank y'all. 👏

dusty totem
#

Is it possible to get 3 sectech inside flag in aoe?

alpine wraith
#

if you run first dance yes but it is tight

#

might not fit the last one depending

dusty totem
#

Thx thought it seemed possible

uncut grove
#

have you guys seen any Deathstalker sub actually pumpin on ptr on M+?

tulip gorge
#

is first dance actually worth playing?

swift tinsel
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

always worth unless fight is like 7 mins+

swift tinsel
#

Very strong in m+ and outperforms in shorter st fights

tulip gorge
#

interesting

#

so I guess I will hate tanks chain pulling

wild hornet
swift tinsel
#

Some dungeons will def get better mileage out of tfd

alpine wraith
#

depends think about a fight that lasts more than 6 mins

#

only ansurek really

swift tinsel
#

But even if you just get it three or four times in a dungeon it’s worth it

alpine wraith
#

and i still run it there just because p1 and p3 are the boss phases

#

so it is still kinda less than 6 mins

swift tinsel
#

Maybe even two or three

alpine wraith
#

who knows maybe we get another sha of fear boss with 24 mins epic fight

#

with 8 phases again

#

but think blizz does not do those anymore

swift tinsel
#

lol needing to plan your evening around one boss fight

alpine wraith
#

tbh it was not super hard just annoying

#

that light mechanic and submerge were some of the mechanics of all time

swift tinsel
#

Sylvanas was bad enough, wouldn’t want anything longer than that

alpine wraith
#

sylvanas was not even that long just boring

swift tinsel
#

Sha was a spectacle fight for sure

alpine wraith
#

tbh if more fights were like blackhand it would be fine

#

just intense

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

or tbh sarkareth before all nerfs

#

was also super intense

#

fearing for my life the whole fight

swift tinsel
#

Agreed, I think that’s more rewarding than an endurance fight

#

Or fighting to stay awake

wild hornet
prisma void
#

do we ever use sec tech without sod or sd?

alpine wraith
#

you can but you need to have the knowledge that you are getting it back before next dance or cds

#

so it is a very fringe case

prisma void
#

i see

tribal blade
#

usually best to do that when you know you're gonna have enough time, like when a pack is dying in M+

#

or you know your cds are gonna be delayed

prisma void
#

yeah ocasionally it happens i wondered if it was due to rotational error

tribal blade
#

it's generally better to err on the safe side and just hold

#

but if you know for a fact you can do it w/o screwing up your next cd set you're good 😉

prisma void
#

Yeah the window of extra cast without anything and having it back for the next go rarely happens

tribal blade
#

it can happen quite a lot on bosses like queen and court

#

because you're holding stuff for long periods of time

vale pine
#

tbh i think this raid has some rly cool bosses

#

but i don't know the exact timings or rather if they stayed the same once the raid goes live

plush roost
#

I can't wait for every timing to be super curses

#

Like 1:20 timings

vale pine
#

can't be that bad ^^

heady compass
#

sub or assa for raid ?

lilac stag
#

Whatever you like

slate lantern
#

outlaw, it sims the highest so clearly is the best choice no matter what

heady compass
#

sub then

lilac stag
#

Have fun!

alpine wraith
#

you can play brown outlaw

#

it even uses 2 big swords

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

has a raid cd and buff too!

lilac stag
#

raid cd is questionable. garf

#

buff is good

alpine wraith
#

rally still kinda decent

lilac stag
#

not really

alpine wraith
#

maybe not if you are not in super prog low ilvl thing

#

but has saved many from the near 1 tap things a lot of the times

#

extra hp pool is kinda good if people have decent DRs to pop

wild hornet
#

You know you can play aug evoker now

#

They buffed it

alpine wraith
#

i wonder if any rogue players play aug

wild hornet
#

(copium)

wild hornet
alpine wraith
#

the venn diagram would be like two very far circles

wild hornet
#

Im a migrated ret player

Lost in a local clinic

Goon Stocks Rising

vestal escarp
#

You might just wanna farm or luck a pacemaker

alpine wraith
#

it has some more competition

vestal escarp
#

Goonsquad goated for the meme but still a meme

alpine wraith
#

not really it sims quite decent

#

and got a bit buffed

#

although as everyone knows best trinket heart of azerokk

#

just PROC IT

swift tinsel
#

Ran a bunch of trinket sims last night with the nerf and Zee’s was like .1% worse than Eye at 5mins and rose from there with shorter fight times

alpine wraith
#

on cds

#

keep in mind zees also depends on where you use bl

#

but the diff is minimal

swift tinsel
#

Oo good call I should sim without lust

#

Our guild is 99% lust on opener

vestal escarp
#

Doest it snap haste?

swift tinsel
#

It summons all minions with lust

vestal escarp
#

You're pressing steroid on opener

alpine wraith
#

yea all the gooners

swift tinsel
#

I haven’t looked if it does or not

#

One of the homies just stabs away

vestal escarp
#

Unless it snaps the few secs remaining of lust

swift tinsel
#

Would be funny if he gets hasted stabs

#

It’s not uncommon to have two of them out at a time outside lust

tribal blade
#

what exactly do all the goons do

alpine wraith
#

iirc they do benefit from lust but not hugely

swift tinsel
#

One snipes

#

One stabs

#

One smashes

tribal blade
#

ah ok so they're like pets

swift tinsel
#

But their abilities do aoe damage with more targets

#

So it’s actually pretty cool

alpine wraith
#

ideally you get pacemaker to do some gnarly things

swift tinsel
#

The stabby guy does a FoK

alpine wraith
#

but thug is good

#

likely i will get stuck with a magnet or a delve/m+ trink for a while

swift tinsel
#

Magnet was simming decently too

#

Did you run any after the nerf yesterday?

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

not really i was running some sims for my day 2 or day 5 gears to plan around

#

what m+ etc would i want to focus

#

raid trinks were whatever because unless it is house or an hc one i would replace

swift tinsel
#

Is 11.1 droptimizer in raidbots?

alpine wraith
#

no idea i was doing it local

swift tinsel
#

Or still mimiron for that

#

Ah

alpine wraith
#

but think you can mage gearsets on advanced already

#

havent checked

swift tinsel
#

I’m gonna hit ToP and hope for ring and Rookery for dagger and gloves

#

Still gonna craft MH

alpine wraith
#

top drops 2 good rings a decent trink

#

or wait actually 3 good rings

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that’s my prio dungeon to start

alpine wraith
#

the crit ring is not bad

swift tinsel
#

ToP is Ringed City dlc

#

But without Halflight troll fight

#

Still a pvp boss lol

#

Okay pushed the Dark Souls III reference enough

keen sinew
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

hopefully ToP isn't hell on earth like it was during SL

#

doing that dungeon always felt like a long ass slog

vestal escarp
#

Nothing changed tho simonshrug

tribal blade
#

they did change a bunch of things

#

but overall it's mostly the same yeah

vestal escarp
tribal blade
#

LOL i completely forgot people posted this meme back then

#

i'm getting nostalgia

hazy breach
#

But shrugeg

tribal blade
#

they did nerf a bunch of things that made that place really bad

vernal junco
#

!fuuu

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

it got nerfed somewhat

low grotto
#

hey 🙂 im new to rogue for this season:) is sub the way to go ? 🙂

alpine wraith
#

but the pain points are the same

#

you are still getting your spine broken by xav

distant night
#

do you guys send big cds on every pack that can live through them or tend to save them if a boss or miniboss is coming up after the pack?

alpine wraith
#

sub is fine

#

send them if pack will survive unless special situations

#

like depending on mini boss you can hold like the mists dragon/frog

#

to make the key faster

#

you will do less dps tho

distant night
#

alright i see, thank you

hollow spear
#

are we actually the rogue fotm or what?

vestal escarp
#

Until things start to really matter yes

hollow spear
#

until people actually play it in a raid environment I guess

vestal escarp
#

10% juice and good ptr numbers do that

hollow spear
#

and completely whiff their flag rotation

vestal escarp
tribal blade
#

this could honestly be a really bad situation for sub to be in

swift tinsel
#

its like that scene in Captain America where Anthony Mackie is jogging thinking he's doing great then gets gapped by Steve Rogers, that'll be sub once everyone gets tier

tribal blade
#

we're good early on, so we got no tuning, and the weaker specs get buffed and end up being better

hollow spear
vestal escarp
#

But set isnt net negative

#

It's gonna buff us a bit

swift tinsel
#

nah just other specs have better ones

hollow spear
#

but after a couple of vaults and mythic early clears

swift tinsel
#

but that could change any day with tuning

hollow spear
#

and we're at the steve rogers meme

tribal blade
#

isn't our tier pretty decent

hazy breach
hollow spear
#

I think a handful

#

at most

#

14% is big

tribal blade
#

14% is pretty good

hollow spear
#

it's just that they scale better with gear/stats than we do

swift tinsel
#

gonna juice my goons with all the versatility

hollow spear
#

Objectively accurate graph

#

Why is it black tho, my background was white

lilac stag
#

I think I may have missed them if you did

hollow spear
#

I think we can already run top gear combinations?

#

or gear sets

#

4 piece is giga, so I'd assume even LFR pieces are an upgrade

swift tinsel
#

s2 gear should be in raidbots for gear compare

hollow spear
swift tinsel
#

did a 1:1 compare at ilvl for me with s2 tier and its 5% better which is solid

#

I'm only 628 though so it'll be different for others

tribal blade
#

yeah the new tier set effects are very beefy

rugged condor
#

does nimble flurry do dmg around you or the mob?

vale pine
#

did you switch to a diffrent slot too

#

because the head slot has a lot of haste on it

tribal blade
vale pine
#

so you might not want to use that

swift tinsel
#

I did one at 5/5 tier and one with gloves being s1

#

head slot is heavy vers/haste so I lost some crit there

#

vs Beyond's Dark Visage

#

s2 gloves are heavy haste so I left that out in the sim that was higher

#

vs heavy crit/haste from s1 gloves

tribal blade
#

yeah fuu's bis list has us not using tier gloves

#

this is the first tier in a while we're using tier helm

swift tinsel
#

yeah that sim is higher from current tier to s2 by leaving gloves out

#

will be different for others I'd imagine

#

so lfr might not be a bad idea even if it caps at 639

#

bc the bonus itself is noice

haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

yeah, I basically just did a gear compare with s2 tier at the same item level per slot as my current gear

#

my gear isn't maxed currently

#

still mostly hero track lol

obsidian cloak
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
#

I mean even with mythic track then

#

Or am I thinking wrong

swift tinsel
#

if you're replacing 639 s1 gear with 639 s2 tier its still an upgrade

acoustic lodge
#

How essential is it to have the WA that tells you the mob count?

lilac stag
#

can you count? No? Use WA

#

personal preference basically

dreamy badger
#

Do you have the time to count*

hazy breach
#

Its not the end of the world if you end up eviscerating on 7 targets anyway

dreamy badger
#

Just get a wa

latent finch
#

i just eyeball it a bit? Looks like way more then 7? lets go bp if not just do normal

hazy breach
#

I dont see the point in the WA as its mostly going to be irrelevant information, unless you have it hidden below 7 targets or something

swift tinsel
#

you'll learn what pulls have how many mobs after a while anyways

versed terrace
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
versed terrace
#

Any goods WA for a poor soul lost with sub rotation ?

sleek musk
#

Is it good to macro Symbols with Shadow Dance>

#

Feel like you would always use them together,

swift tinsel
#

Not really

hazy breach
#

Its not the best no

#

In the middle of your flag+blades you dont

#

!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.

shrewd shadow
#

What CA are yall using macros for

sleek musk
#

Man not m’a doing them together feels so clunky

#

Macroing them*

shrewd shadow
#

I haven’t been using any yet

plush roost
#

Is there something wrong with house of cards on ptr? Randomly it will desync from my cds even tho I have it macro'd into ShBlades

swift tinsel
#

not that I've ever encountered

plush roost
#

It was happening all day yesterday, not just to me either but the other rogue i was playing with

edgy zenith
#

was he playing with affixes?

plush roost
#

No it was 14a

edgy zenith
#

there's that one that reduces spell CDs

#

then there shouldn't be

plush roost
#

Strange, I shall experiment further

upper girder
#

hello everyone, in your opinion which spec will be the most viable in MM+ in patch 11.1?

plush roost
#

All 3

next fjord
#

Assassination will probably be the easiest if that helps

edgy zenith
#

If you need to know the answer to this question, you're not the kind of person that it would matter to. play what you like!

#

Sub is probably going to be taken in high keys if they HAD to take a rogue

next fjord
#

Yeah Rogue in general isn't going to be meta but we'll likely be competitive enough to take to keys and raids

upper girder
#

thank you for your feedback

next fjord
#

But our tier set looks the coolest so rogue is still the best

plush roost
#

Rogue will be meta, infact, it may be in every key i do this season :^)

steel zinc
#

Pls tell us

plush roost
#

There will be no meta till 11.1.5 when they buff aug and make prot pal busted again for no reason

steel zinc
#

Like idk where people get the info rn everything is a good guess nothing more or less

plush roost
#

As it is written

#

In the holy blizzard texts

swift tinsel
#

must..find..petko tier list..to..tell..me..what...to..play.....

plush roost
#

I mean tbh, a lot of these dungeons have insane sub rogue timers

steel zinc
plush roost
#

So it could very well be meta

swift tinsel
#

tettles beats sub rogue so we know here it lands on his tier list

steel zinc
#

Just play the game you could if you want get every season with any of the 3 rogue specs title

#

And always one rogue was in rwf comp since sepulcher

plush roost
#

Ye, atrophic biggus

steel zinc
#

All melee seem very well tuned you can bring at a Hof level any melee 2 to fill the last spots

plush roost
#

Some of these fights seem melee unfriendly, but maybe when strats are refined it will be meat grinder time like nerubar

#

Im just excited for content to do on live
