watch kidney shot drop the 4pc
yes thank you

Do we ever backstab during dance to gain a stack of Danse Macabre ?
not worth it anymore
Ok thanks
Trying to map it with the WAIS curve, smart.
But tbh, not far being wrong ...
Try with the Kruger's one now !
Quick question cue related. Inama assuming if it comes up outside shadow dance and sech tech I hold on hitting any eviscerate until I can dance. Maybe refresh rupture in that time since it seems our damage outside cds is so low?
damn @vale pine, I havent played sub in years and have been off and on with WoW due to work (growing up sucks)... but ive been lowkey stressed thinking i have to learn sub again. (my push seasons i usually am like 2/3 key levels below the highest key done with my RL group and usually get the first 3/6 bosses on mythic) I got to say, your wowhead guide is very well done, i can tell you out alot of time into it, had to give you your credit! the explantion tab in the rotation section is priceless.
nah it's not a gain to do that
just play normally
Once you're confortable with the burst, that the difficulty of those type of specs actually (like fire mage ), judging when you can / cannot throw skills related to CD timers. This takes a bit of practice. I tend to notice I can get back ST in Time if I stop at 15/20 sec before flag which bould be the interval to rupture
the guy who parses 50 probably doesnt miss gcd's but presses everything wrong and never learns
whoever designed the car driving in the new zone should never be allowed to touch any vehicle ever
So how bad was those class tuning for this week?
@tribal blade ty sir
Whats the dmgtype of nimble flurry?
Physical
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
would be cool if nimble applied FW to targets hit
Last noob question hopefully. Are the supercharged combo points from symbols only the first finisher after hitting it? For some reason I thought it was tye next 2 finishers
Its two
Not in game atm. OK great
Ty
hey guys what do we think we will craft for first wek of the season?
dagger
and do we have a cata charge day 1 this season?
š®
yeah scath use that magic ball
and answer the person
yeah scath what does my future look like do you see big parses?
nope, no one plays the spec so you're fucked
if you do any of the 3 things ye
thats 100 parses guarantee cuz i will always play sub its too late for me
what are these 3 things? i am trying to rush 2p for day 1 raiding
pvp, aotc, m+
is it the ksm 1.6k in pvp or hero raid boss kill?
get m+ score (2k?), kill last boss hc or get 1.8k in pvp
or whatever the cutoffs are
that gives cata charge? i though it gave a tier
changed this season
so do we get 2 charges or 1?
1
sadge
1.6 in pvp
i think its 7 timed
Yeah, you can do it with like 7's and 8's
when do the mage tariffs get announced
Mage Training Arc is over, now their Main Character Arc begins
@swift tinsel - did you ever make that quick sub guide š
thanks ā¤ļø
!wa
that is, unfortunately, aligned with blizzard's geopolitical interest
hey, don't expose me like this
How many more tier lists you reckon Petko can release before patch day
Has many has business model is winning
ok im quite dumb and either i legit cant read or maybe both idk
(trickster)
do i legit just spam BS/SS + Evis SecTec in dance until 7-8 mobs are infront of me and i switch to shuriken + BP?
and i guess the same is outside dance just that i replace BS/SS with shuriken?
i assume in between each strike/storm finisher right 
lol nah thereās already good ones from Hachadino and Eleem
Plus my voice is scuffed from being sick
to proc nimble flurry right?
stike is just way stronger than pressing storm, storm is only used as second bulider in dance to spread Find Weakness
which guide are you reading?
You donāt have to worry about nimble being up in dance bc sectech provides it every time
i read the pins, but the info to just spam single target up to 6 targets i just dont get what exactly you do when certain scenarios are up
!guide
you're not going to figure the spec out by pins alone. fwiw
the wowhead guide has pictures for exactly what you asked
not sure, but i can release a 3rd one, here is the hero talent tier list

is it a bad idea to macro sec tec and symbols? since we dont want to macro sd and symbols.
yes
Need sep binds
sectech is not always the first cast
man Trickster really fell off 
we need a subtlety macro tier list
#showtooltip
/cast Symbols of Death
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shadowstrike
F tier

Too Bad for the List
Thistle tea on Sub is this viable?
no
wow this is cursed
Its just so boring waiting for SOD to get of cd
that's the spec
just watch the sectech and tier nerf is enough to make tea beat cb
enjoy it or dont
cruel twist of fate
We're the shotgun blast of dopamine spec, not the steady drip
practice jumpingn and flipping
hell yeah
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
that's what I'm saying, dreams crushed
maybe it gets reworked into something like Bandit or Scoundrel and moves up a few spots
feast on the tears of people trying to make out of CDs sub feel good
that's what they steep Thistle Tea in I hear
Sectech nerf is technically a tea buff
thats why I'm worried lol
it's also technically an Assa buff
Its only 5%, shouldnt matter

its alphabetic
Only reason I was surprised by this nerf is that I though sub isn't on top of performing specs
If I'm sitting on 5 CP and only have one GCD left in my dance windows, do I send a finisher ?
Apparently we are
No
oh
apparently I mixed up Colossus and Slayer and that threw me off
thx
we always are, according to everyone not in this channel 
sub players want to pump hard on the old raid on old timings for the last week before raid
now we have no spec to play
you're playing assa 
valid point
and nerfs don't change gameplay
so I'm chillin
the moment they do and trickster isn't fun, I'm dooming and then probably still playing it
is that fucking Izen
yea
Is there some bug with TFD in PTR m+? sometimes it starts counting insanely late after a pull
W H
?
that's also on live
Ye thats just how it is
Damn i just realised that I liked season set bonus and will miss it
ah ok, just a thing with combat in general or bug?
Season 1
I mean it doesnt always start ticking once you leave combat for some reason 
I wish people would stop these bait tier list for views
It really skews the community perspective
I'm gonna become a react streamer and just react to shitty tier lists
the cognitive dissonance would be too real lol
Heya guys sorry to ask ! maybe some ppl asked much before me , is gonna be sin or sub meta for st ? aoe ? on raid and M+ ? ( actually ) ik its gonna change again with patchs
So we play now tea?
Play what you want
gotta sim that
No
meta better
meta isn't figured out for months
š
there is no meta atm, both sub and sin look close enough for you to switch between
I'm getting my best numbers with sub so I'm playing that one
the fear of playing sub continues
dave is not scary
only time I didn't wanna play sub was when coup had the animation lock and it felt shitty
dave can't be scary when he's dead
Look at him
Staring menacingly
Longingly
Seductively
I mean uh
Yeah coup animation lock
So scary amiright guys
can probably sim
We don't put any gems out of protest
That small dash was scary as hell
Killed me on last boss of ara kara. Wasnt paying attention to it
I might or might not have inted my raid with it
Happy its gone
I didn't mind it 
Ouch !
(im joking it wouldn't have mattered)
Why u die to webblade
Random proc into coup dash true combo
^ you can look at the simulation of gem combinations i linked earlier
i simmed myself and thunderlord only 550 dps ahead
so i just go fathom for aoe value i guees
please add that to the pin
done
hey . is assa better now after tuning or sub still clears
Still the same gem combination?
Just play the one you like
im looking for the better one actually ^^
The one you play better is probably better
The real answer is Outlaw
the answer is never outlaw
Coward
ye gl getting ur uptime when the boss makes u run on a treadmill in game because u wont do it irl
but the sheet is showing outlaw best dps between 3 specs 
Yet not parsing highest "WTF happens ?!" 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Outlaw was parsing 1st on the PTR junk or reverb boss can't remember apparently. But that's it. Often 1/2 boss where outlaw shines. Remember vuljin in BFA
combinations slightly change
Like u needed 4 outlaw rogues on this one
bruh
you dont play really for the first bosses tbh
outlaw always sims high
should tell you something about the accuracy of comparing sims across specs and classes
No one wants to hear this. Everyone masters a wow spec in 2 training dummy sessions feeling out the rotation. 
outlaw requires high uptime on boss to reset cds
yeah CDR doesnāt play into sub at all? 
not nearly as much
do we know how much of a nerf % the nerfs are
oh never mind
i saw pins
lol
dont mind me
is there a good way to track supercharged combo points? Don't see a buff and weak aura i was using doesnt seem to show it?
do you use a combo point WA
wa
it was a smaller nerf than i thought
otherwise it shows on your regular cps
sub should still be pretty good then right
yeah combo point wa but cant get the trigger to work since there is no buff
dont worry it will stop lagging 4 weeks in
you add conditions
Its not a buff, but you can track it through the cp
ye
āCharged Combo Pointsā is what you need to look at in the WA
Ohh eleem got a screenie
pog
Was just wondering whether we'd use the same gem setup as now post ring nerf
can also do the cp background and/or fill if you don't want the border
based on the ring nerfs are we still going for legendary skipper still or swap to windsinger?
the sims in the pins show a comparison of gem setups
gotcha
working now thanks everyone!
Some days I wonder if people donāt know they can expand the pinned message.
no u

Best gems are 4 different colors and movement anyway!
3 different colors. Fuck out of here with haste.
Little bit of a bad secondary for 2% move speed? I'll take that any day
Wdym bad? Crit is good
How do we get FW debuff in aoe as trickster? Are we supposed to shuriken storm once in dance?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yes, with 2nd charge of The Rotten buff
not updated
so you Strike - Sectech - Storm - BP at 7+ targets
And if 5 target? Storm - Evis?
you wouldn't need to storm
the FW is for BP
at 5 you just do your regular ST
Strike - Sectech - Strike - Evisc
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Why the hell is mag orc simming 1,3% higher then nelf on my char ?
Racial got updated last patch
Buffs
So it simmed higher for some people
damn even tho its on a 2 min CD
Weāre a burst spec with 2 good secondaries. It buffs either one.
So even using it as a 3 min racial it trucks
and the defensives are not bad at all
flat dmg racial are āmidā on sub
drarf is only around 0.2% worse but will ofc mean less burst
Ye dwarf is better for outlaw
But marginally. Orc/morc has a larger benefit for sub/sin
mostly for sin tho cause 2 min
Youāre underestimating how good it is with second Sectech hit
it just lines up better for assa
for DM
does orc racial even land on second sectech?
i don't htink it does
Are you delaying racial for 2nd sec tech?
you'd have to delay flag
Why would I delay anything?
orc racial is 2m, no?
Yes
only every other time tho
oh, I thought you meant on second sectech of 2nd flag
Ye and its still like 0.5% better than dwarf
āOnlyā 
so u lose value but whatever pkay what u want
I mean ye you "lose value" but you gain dps
Yes
But dps = value
i only said that maghar is more better for sin then for sub
Its not though
Itās not
jeez
Sub is way burstier
folks really donāt get stacking CDs in wow
Did some nerds run sims for new nerfs ? Am I still excited to play sub?
Pins nerd
mostly not change
its more of a "why" then of a "how much"
also sin buff way too low but.. they are looking at rogue now, thats the big message
I mean we do prefer small adjustment to hammer of gods
Why doesnāt TFD always start counting down after leaving combat? In fact, it often takes 8 to 9 seconds to reset


Because sub was really good
Its still really good
Might catch another, but we'll see
I just like big secret technique numbers
I also like big techs and I cannot lie
I wish coup was one damage instance
Hitting a fat supercharged 10cp envenom just
Man thats the stuff
Tbh, as a flavor re roller, I don't know where you're supposed to get dopamine from the spec except massive sec techs
I get dopamine for about 16 seconds every 1:30
:^)
Thats like a 16.5% dopamine uptime
Outside of the sec tech hits, I feel like I'm just playing an enh shaman for those 16 seconds, and then I go back to feeling like I'm assa with DM and KB on CD.
Ye thats rogue for ya
When do you start using BP instead of evis
7+ targets with findweakness on them
^ for trickster. Deathstalker target count is lower
Ah true, deathstalker just bp's on 2+ targets
so we only need to apply Find Weakness in AOE if we AOE with Powder ?
Yeah, you're wasting a global doing storm to apply fw, when you can strike and get a flawless form stack
So when do you Shuriken storm? like with 5+ targets
strike does more damage and procs unseen blade
Good trinket
what does sub trick mean?
Outside of dance at 2+. Inside dance only once if 7+ targets
Strike always does more damage than storm
Regardless of target count
(as trickster)
Subtlety Trickster
Out of curiosity whats the dps loss on doing a single storm+single powder at 6 targets
Pretty sure the context is bis rings vs. Circes right?
just the name of the profile i used, its called sub - for spec, trick - for the hero talent trickster
The windsinger bug is so nice
Pretty much the same
Is there any WA that tells us how many mobs there are nearby?
Thats what i figured, what about during tfd, 2 stacks of danse worth it for 4 extra seconds?
Nah
Or too niche not big diff
i think @vale pine has one for target count in range of storm
Oki ty eleem, I'm not a tc thats why i ask question!
You can make target count wa but it's pretty costly cpu wise
ty
!wa
If I was going to do one Iād just have a BP light up WA. No need to count just let me know we hit the BP threshold.
But doesn't it have to count then anyways?
You just won't show the number and glow an icon instead
The WA yes. The number is irrelevant to the user so why have an updating count
just more resources
Then I deleted the wa on ovinax
Hahah
Lol
yeah i agree i think that'd be nice
Ouch oof owie your frames
Giga lag
!craft
dagger
I have a top of the line pc and my frames still went down the drain
assa and caustic splatter with nameplates would wreck people
I rarely got any drops as sub
Sbs, rupture, garrote, crippling, deadly, amp, caustic, atrophic on every frame
Ahhhh
sub was fine. The timings were good. The funnel in execute pushed assa ahead
Think people are gonna find pretty quick that this is a monkey's paw
what's the best stats for craft pls ? crit/master, crit/vers, vers/master ?
Vers Mas
Sim yoself
ty
crafted is almost always vers mas as sub. You can gem and enchant the crit if you actually need it.
thanks
It wants me to craft crit mastery actually
The answer is always sim yourself
These questions are completely pointless
It wants me to craft crit haste with warning signs. Rupture maxxing :^)
Nobody knows what gear you have
for what sim and whatās the difference?
i'm simming but I need choose stats first
You can sim different combinations?
Top gear, make 3 pieces with each secondary combination, sim button, ???, profit
5m patchwerk
Minor difference, like 1k
I can't I guess
But outside error
Just run it twice dude
Do top gear sim instead and add all stat combinations for each craft instead of droptimizer
Whatās your crit at now? Are you abysmally low?
and are you running Tea 
Yeah i mean there is zero chance crafting anything but vers mast is gonna be good
No but we do have dave.
but I think nimble is 8
Are the Ring nerfs already live?
18% (4.205), so I guess quite low-ish?
I think nimble was 8, yeah
that's why I figured bc its less than storm but more than melee range from our character
thought it might have been melee range from target but its not
Guys how looks Sub in high keys ?
crankaholic
purple
The same it looked in S1
and in term of performance ?
didnt play S1
depends on your pc
Donāt worry no one else played sub in S1 either.
that means trash as far as I understand
yes it's complete trash
i played sub in s1,,,,
rogue wasnāt meta. Assa did the most overall of the three specs. Degens ported out and used sub for last boss due to bust ST.
if you enjoy it, play it and make it work
lol
if you have to ask how itās playing in high keys via ptr and prepatch tuning your guess is as good as any.
just go ptr hit dummy n find out
Possibly yeeees
If nothing else, we can reliably be the dark horse.
Yes

btw is this the first time since bfa s1 that sub isnt awful in dungeons

what
like has sub been like meta in aoe since then
Sub was meta early dragonflight and has been really solid ever since
o
it was also meta s2 SL
nobody plays it if it's not omega broken
which is why nobody knows how it compares I guess haha
Yeah S2 SL was decent (cringe gameplay tho) and DF was decent for M+
how can I do make raidbots understand that I want only two crafted items at the end of sims and not all of them selected ? I run an error due to the embelish limitation of 2 when I put it on every items selected ....
but it was bp spam which is also cringe gameplay
It was good last szn, nobody played it, it was the best spec for most of DF in keys, and in sl it was mostly the best spec to play, although it went back and forth with outlaw and sub on some season/dungeons
fairly sure the error says you dont have enough sparks
So go into that section at the top and max out the resources
it was goated 
I max everything :/
maybe you filled one (or multiple) slot(s) with only embellished options?
Checked it too ...
works for me tho
Its strange bcs it's occur on some itmes and not others
If you're planning to play sin and sub (but probably mainly play sub) which stats is it better to build?
Crafted gear bugging : neck, cloak, feet, ring, wep // crafted gear working : waist, wrist
vers/mastery/crit all good
sin doesn't really care
just try to avoid haste if you wanna play both
Sin is a trash stats, everything works with it
sick, so focus mas/vers? I'm already stacked on mas/crit from being sin last tier
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
do you have a weapon without an embelishment selected?
I gave up but I don't think so ... But when I tried last time with a fresh set up it started to show the error on the cloak while I was adding boots (between cloak and boots, I added wirst and waist without an error) Its make no sens ...
usually the error happens when you don't have a non-embellished item that it can replace the embellished one with to generate the combinations (in each gear slot)
that's what I thought when I restarted but even before I selected a wep it ran an error again :/
Hello o/ you always ST with SoD, but do you always SD for ST ?
I'm afraid to not have double SD charges during Flag+SB
how do you sually do your aoe opener if you have to burst asap? i get that you can run around while gathering mobs and rupture them before using cds, but cds asap? i guess ss or storm -> sd/symbols -> sectec/sb and keep going?
Since my sim doesn't work like I wanted, I would know if it's better to go for Crafted Wep Everforged Stabber with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension and a gear (cloak, wrist, boots, waist) with Writhing Armor Banding OR with Elemental Focusing Lens (I will play assa too so if it's can be useful on both sub and sin would be nice)
My sims without embelish showed me that : crafted neck (+65k) > Raid neck (+49k) > M+ (+45k) The crafted neck gives more damages than anything so is it better to go for that craft ? It's not mentioned at all in sub and sin wowhead guides so it's look like a trap for me to go for the neck idk
Just rupture when tank gathers then go into cds
ascension+writhing is good for both specs
Ok ty so I will see if i'm lucky on my loot with my daggers so I can first craft neck, thanks for help
Youre overthinking how much the embellishments and the crafts matter, and also why bother with it right now and not wait until like 2 weeks when you have the resources available to actually craft it
you could also just craft the dagger with ascension and the neck with EFL if the ilvl upgrade is the main thing as the embellishments themselves are really close to each other
Unless you loot a mythic dagger the best option is almost certainly to just craft a dagger
because I have nothing to do this weekend (IRL and IG) so it's the best moment to think about all of it and just go with it in 2 weeks
For coup de grace, outside of dance we just send it and inside dance we should send it before sectec, right?
it will also depend on your loot luck if you do hero/myth content on week 1
yep exactly, I will go for neck first if i'm lucky on daggers otherwise it will be dagger then neck then run-branded sh*t š
what stats breakpoint for sub in s2?
Ye but you have to think about it in 2 weeks anyway becuase the differences are so small that any gear you will have gotten will change the outcome 
There is no such thing
16 expertise
but pref mast=>vers>crit?
Yes
16 Dagger Mastery, 13 Critical Strikes. Wait wrong game
does feel a bit weird to craft a dagger early on with where it drops in the raid
imo dagger is usually safe cause you can equip 2 so you don't just replace the crafted if you get lucky
unless you get 2 
Isnāt offhand very meh
indeed
Well youre right, but theres no guarantee it will drop and the increase from having a higher ilvl weapon is big
You can just wait it out, but you risk it not dropping for a long time
Which week can we even craft
I think Iām just waiting until after farm the 2nd week cause there probably wonāt be any dps checks the first week unless you are in a guild that raids a lot
Is it next week or why are we panicing
215 hit rating and 300 multistrike
You can craft next week yes
yeah but you'll eventually upgrade it, so you'll always be safe that you have a high ilvl main hand if you're unlucky with drops
we'll still be getting a spark every other week starting next week right?
Offhand is meh but the stats are still good
so either way crafting a dagger is almost always worth
for mh
Heckin love week 1 crafts
Just craft a dagger and be done with it
At some point youāll want an oh anyways
If you get lucky with a drop it is what it is
weapon is astronomically the highest increase
Feel like itās also a bit troll to craft giga early before thereās even a dps check but to each their own
Yep, just need a crafter to guarantee you r5 on wednesday š
hi. im new to sub. are these macros ok to use?
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.
hey so im on wowhead ... and for this point in the multi target opener can i macro all of those together just to have a easy button to press for the opener for that part ? or will shadowstrike not benefit from premeditation if i do that ? im obviously not looking to replace shadow dance and symbols for that macro lol im just wondering in context to having an easy button for that part of the opener
i mean u can have a dps macro that uses trinket/pot
but ... not trinket pot dance symbols and shadow strike all at the same time ?
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.
Technically, you could macro a lot of things if you have enough keybinds left
But I feel like there's not enough value
how much of a dps loss it it to macro sectec and CB?
Big enough to not do it really
ohhhh ok
pot and trinket macroed to shadowblades would probably be fine as long as i press it before sectec right
do you try to fit 2 dances between the 2 dance + cd combo in aoe too like in st?
wait why is macroing secret technique and cold blood bad ...?
wyes
always
because you want to use cb on your second sectec in blades
!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.
you can have a macro still but you need a naked sectec bind as well
well yeah of course
ok good to know
i have a naked everything haha
i just like to macro what i can to make certian parts of rotation easier when i cna thats all then i have the abilities seperate
i have access to 40 keybinds that i know with muscle memory very well
Just have a modifier to cast sec tech naked and problem solved
I have a modifier to cast it "dressed"
I personaly have dance+sb+strike in a macro. It is not super opti as it is not recomended, especialy if you don't master the rotation, but if you do you can land your 2nd sectech in it no prob
WA question: I've decided to mark my combo points purple if my shadow techniques stacks are >= 7.
Is there anything risky about that compared to the sound alert due to some bugs?
I have colored borders and I've never had issues
same
or rings around the cp border
if less then 7 targets do i still shadowstrike eviscerate? no shuriken storm to build CP?
Yes, no storm in dance until 7 or more
The only reason to storm is to apply find weakness for bp
ahh perfect ty
yeah just though the aoe damage might be betetr but got you
Strike also does aoe damage
only thing storm has going for it is generating more CP
storm is good to spread FW to all targets and to get a DM stack
thats why u use it once in dance
oh eleem said the same thing like 5 msg ago, mb
would you storm outside of dance though waiting for dance to come back
More cp
no point of backstab
Well backstab does more damage on 1 target
But the combo points on 2 or more is worth more from storm
whats the link to it
Best trinket in the history of WOW in that screenshot. 10/10.
!wa
i know you talking about whetstone
@vale pine is Sub Trick in the pin sim what the ring was at before the nerf?
Been practicing sub again this past week and have a few questions.
Is there a prefered spell sequence for when you're coming into your 2nd flag+blade window? should i be at max combo points going into flag?
is there a list of how long i can hold each ability for cd window? such as dance, ST?
it feels like i'm either holding ST for like 20 seconds before 2nd flag, or using it and then not having enough cp spenders to get it back in time for cooldowns.
for 2m trinkets, should i send with just dance+symbol when it's up, or hold for each flag window?
also, i've tried running a few logs i have through wowanalyzer to see if there's any glaring issues, but it says that my spec isn't supported. is this just due to the new patch?
the sim is after the nerf
thats the default
the baseline
each profile below replaces the first ring with the circlet
and you can see how much better/worse it is
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
- No wowanalyzer just isnt supported for sub. Its not automatic, somebody has to program it and nobody has done it.
- Yes hold sectech for 20s so its up for flag, way more important than a sectech without anything up
!burst
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.
!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.
the confusion comes in not knowing what the baseline is @vale pine
Now I see it is Jastor and Ritual Bone Band
And for 2 min trinket you just use it with blades and pretend its 3 minutes
baseline is "bis" season 2
(which is why theyre not great)
did the ring changes affect which gems we're using?
i know some people are dropping legendary for windsinger
Ideally you werent using the ring anyway with s2 ilvls
Does that mean that the ring information on wowhead is outdated atm?
But yes you can swap to windsinger
we're not using ring on live rn??
Well yes right now we are
haha yeah that's what I meant
But not once you get some decent rings from next season
I mean, I think for a lot of people, getting a ring is coming via vault and prayge for good stats. The chances we get a ring in raid with 19 other vultures is not high
I know we drop it earlier next season
but I'm just curious about current gem usage
or we craft a ring most likely
- you aling everything with secret.
Basically every 90 seconds 2x secret/dance/symbols - You essentially align things to secret techniques in between
It is already possible to use sybols/dance ~10 secounds before secret comes off cd, the important part is to get superchaerger on secret - ~20 secounds before your 90 secound cooldowns, you won't use cooldowns.
--- hope i did not repeat too much of what eleem stated ---
windsinger it is then
Well m+ drops rings too
Thanks Eleem! is there anywhere i can post a log for someone with a bit more experience to take a look and see where i can improve? just to make sure i'm not turning anything dumb into muscle memory :p
yeah, I wasn't sure if heroic level rings from m+ passed the siren ring
have the ring changes been implemented into SimC?
Thanks fuu š
I haven't updated the ring information for the hotfix today, but give me a moment i can do it in ~ 10 minutes
Wasnt trying to point fingers or anything just wanted to make sure
You are doing too much for the community already
pulls out dictionary, and magnifying glass to look at guide to find mistake
haha, possible that you find something

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
let me quick see what gems we use now, so i can update the info on the gear page
Really glad ritual knife is viable because sweet monkey Christ is it gonna be hard to get the other trinkets before dinars finally come out again
so somewhere heroic with socket/mythic is the mark you drop it
howq important is snd as sub in kreys?
you get snd from evis
you use evis for coup
so it maintains itself
no need to worry about it
Thanks for the sims, didn't realize how good ritual knife could be
i just want my cards ASAP
Can't wait for cards to drop so I can stop hunting for transmitter spawn
no more of this jumping and standing on platforms

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

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
Hi everyone, as a new Subtlety rogue user, does anyone can recommend me a good guide for S2?, I see some guides using and spamming Shadowstrike but I still don't see how to without being stealth, also wanting to learn rotations.
I just read wowhead guide, but still missing the part in how Shadowstrike is properly used.
Not a native english speaker, apologice my bad english.
or chasing a orb
#subtlety-faq has several guide writers in it if fuu's wowhead article potentially missed something
generally speaking there's not a way to spam shadow strike
it's just our default builder in shadow dance
!guides
!design
icy-veins guide has backtab as points builder, now it makes sense for me. Thank you all.
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".
Fuu please read dm

Yo guys I have a cook I just wrote fuu. If you remember shards of domination you could increase the stacks with Stealth Detection ability. You can do this now also with the new tier set and get faster winning streaks. This is especially useful on rick reverb.
ty
Is rogue like really unpleasant to do open world content? or is it just Subtlety? or am I missing something?
sub is yeah
unless you're using dance/sod kinda liberally you just poke stuff
sin is solid for open world
I dont expect it to be as good at is as my WW, but its completely different
rogue in general in open world is kinda lacking
Yep rogue is rough
compared to most classes
ok, cause Feral wasn't this bad
one plus is that we can obliterate rares pretty easily solo
Sub is legit amazing open world
Like doing delves as rogue sucks ass
Press sd and sod and do massive upfront damage
I do delves as sin most of the time
I can already do that as WW, so thats not new
Everything dies before your CDs run out
bc dance makes threat screwy with brann
Then you've got stealth on top of that
The key is to just always hit your CDs when you go to fight something
words to live by
strike teleporting all over in the open world is fun though
But in general you just immediately get 6 points from stealth, pop sod and sd, and slam off a supercharged sec tech. Most open world stuff dies right then and there
fungel folly is one exception
that one is so irksome to me for whatever reason
the only non-underwater one I dislike
its way better now, but holy fuck i hated it on launch
the spores respawning constantly
and i was playing hunter so my pets were perma in combat with them
yeah that was incredibly troll
dragging them over to me
you could speedrun it even with meh gear in ~4 minutes
I hate enhance shamans
ironically enough the Trickster mobs in the underwater ones are the most annoying delve element to me
I take that personally
what is your damage
one button , every 30 sec blows everything up
lol
this is my 593 rat lol
@vale pine ring gems on wowhead updated now? So we dont use Legendary Skipper's Citrine at all anymore?
I'm redoing my whole WA setup for it bc I'm bored
haha nice, i think enhance may need to be my first alt this season
just updated 5 mins ago
to the top simming for m+/raid
awesome
I toyed with the idea of playing it as an alt just to feel the rush
should remove this then next time your editing it "When investing time into farming the ring, the best combinations will always include Legendary Skipper's Citrine Legendary Skipper's Citrine due to the power level of the gem"
hi i want to play sub for s2 mythic+
and.. i usually save 1shadow dance + 1symbol before i start flag- & shadow blades combo.
is it right??
you should always have 2dance + 2symbols for each Flag/Blades burst
no, you need 2 dances and 2 sods rfor every flag/blades window
!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.
oh.. thanks
man, the music during the questline is really nice
with the charges now it goes like this right:
opener: 2x sd/symbol/sectech
between opener and 1m30s: 2x sd/symbol/sectech
1m30s: 2x sd/symbol/sectech
between 1m30s and 3m: 1x sd/symbol/sectech
and then it just repeats?
havent played much since dust
and you get 1 free symbols charge to use anywhere
Roughly yes
ok ty
With more targets you someitmes get one extra
wasnt sure if the 2x between opener and 1m30s was because of the 1 free charge or if its loopable
If you lose uptime you might lose one
etc
Youre also missing a ton cps from skyfury if practicing on dummies
yeah
it is what it is
rn im just using flag cd as a benchmark but knowing what the ideal situation looks like is nice too
couldn't the tech be to set up a dummy in a follower dungeon for the buffs?
Ye you could
Skyfury is like ~10% more cp or something like that
So its very noticeable
new season is it worth macro shadow dance and symbols ?
yeah, timings are getting quite sketchy sometimes on the dummy
no
Why

forgot the other command
!burst
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.
very nice, need to remember this one
!race
say that still
Hello ! Been training on target dummy a lil. When I use Symbols for every Secret Tech, I end up finfind myself in a spot I don't have Symbols back for every Secret Tech after 5 or 6mn. Is that normal ?
Also do you guys always use Dance for Secret tech or there is some case you don't ? I guess not but then how do u identify what Secret tech u don't Dance based on remaing Dance CD's ? Thx ā¤ļø
fixed, thanks
you probably used secret too close to your cooldowns, it means you run out of symbols charges faster.
You should typically get 2x symbols every 90 secounds and 1 -2 times symbols between
Alright I'll delay sectech a lil to avoid that then, thank you !
Also trinkets might be needed to be rerun imo
Eye isnt that good anymore imo and showed in sims
ye
i will re-run the sheet soon-ish
and after that update trinkets
the list is fine, but eye is def. not S tier anymore
The way it looks right now is just get house of cards and then use whatever is the highest ilvl in the other slot
can we still get heroic ilvl knife?
Yes from maps or vault
might actually try to farm that with maps
You get at most 1 map per week
but they changed it
so you get a higher chance to get a map
every time you don't get one
my grandiose plans shattered immediately
Mythic knife when š¦
is it just me or is tinkering with your weakauras weirdly addictive?
I mess with them constantly lol
making a totemic enh one right now
Canāt get addicted to tinkering with weakauras if you never learn how
I mean even if your guild does split you should have a 9 slot vault first 2 weeks imo
So gl getting knife
type !log and then post a link to the log in that thread, someone will get around to it eventually
But then you won't know how to make your combo points dancing dinosaurs
scritch's!
ran a plaguefall with scritch back in SL
lol, that's such a good WA
How does SecTech and Escalating Blades proc work? I can't seem to find how to predict it properly
that's what's taking your dps up to 11
Sectech does a physical hit when you press the button and then 2 shadow hits after a delay (1s and 1.3s)
Escalating blades proc from unseen blade in the trickster tree
how big of a loss is sending 1st sec tech with cb vs holding for 2nd
Like 1%
oh bless up i thought it was gonna be bigger

why exactly does Shadowstrike not do Shadowstrike dmg ?
?
Did something change from s1 that mast>vers now
so it was more of a deathstalker thing
Deathstalker liked vers a little more than trickster, yes

Mastery doesnt increase the damage of your auto attacks and plague damage 
what is sub ST looking like?
good, not outstanding
but we have strong burst damage
numerically where would it be? top 5ish specs or no?
Strongest burst in the game
Especially outside of lust
High st overall, probably top 5-7 specs?
m+ also looking solid?
This raid is pretty cleave heavy tho, with adds that have to die fast
1:30 timers also seem a bit better than 2 on some fights
trickster is great for cleave so we're positioned well
If only there was a spec that always play their full aoe talents even on ST 
Most of these encounters you wouldnt even need the storm talent which is crazy
What do u lose, focus?
I think these fights u literally never press storm tho
But maybe u just run it anyway ig
on icy veins it says in AoE opener you should use flag as 2nd cast, before rupture spread. But on wowhead it says to use flag after rupture spread? Which one is it? or does it not matter?
!log
it depends
the opener is very much dynamic
SF is worth roughly 2 backstabs across a 5 minute sim š
your tank will gather mobs, you can use the time to spread rupture
and then go flag into cooldowns
which is what i suggest
there is a 2nd tab in the opener section on wowhead "explenation", it goes more in detail
so, the supercharge survives throu loading screens and the loading screen after you press start key?
no
the supercharger resets
but you can press symbols right after the key starts
the timer is 10 secounds
and you will take another 10 probably to move to your first pack
on prepull you can press symbols in raid but it always reverts back to max 2 supercharges
so you don't rly lose anything for using symbols streight with key start
otherwise you can stack them up endlessly and one shot bosses
first day on ptr that was possible
fun times
only reset is when you "start" the key
in m+ AoE, if i end a pull with SnD up, can i skip the SS>Eviscerate opener step?
Question, the last boss in nerotic wake. When you go down to the add. Whenever I shadow dance the mob doesn't allow me to hit it and completely bugs out. is this common?
and SS>rupture spread instantly
yes
Its because of tricks
You can either click of the tricks buff or throw a kidney on the mob
okay gotcha! i'll do that next time. ty El!
is there a good video tutorial to learn sub?
my vanish breaks almost instantly before I have the chance to use shadowstrike, is there any smart way to play around this?
How big of an increase is holding CB for the second Sectec
Like 1.2%
So worthwhile
Hey, is it worth to sometimes tempo for 5 shadowcraft charge to make sure you get 6+ cp so u don't waist energy on an additionnal backstab while not in 1m30 burst or Symbols+SecTech window ?
Gotcha
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Eleem its getting bigger the number it was like 0.6% yesterday now its 1.2% an hour ago it was 1%
Its 1.2% with the new profile
It was 0.6% in s1 profile
Ok its because of tier set stacks assume not falling off in dance and the sim assuming we have higher stacks?
Do I just let me rupture fall off if Iām mid CDs?
Ideally you refresh it before
For flagellation you'd do it even if its not in pandemic
Flag rupture blast

so i always rupture with flag?
And we only flag-> Evis in the opener for snd Iām assuming
is it good to macro backstab into shadowdance for the danse macabre stack?
No, you should not be backstabing in dance for a macabre stack at all

thanks! is there a overview of all commands somewhere? i really want to get better ^^
No theres no list. Theres not that many, and its all info thats already available in the guides
okay ty :3
macabre stacks you dont care about. Delete the WA not needed
I know Raichu was a sub rogue
!guide
do we ST first in dance even after we drop s1 tier set
Always
