exactly
Yeah that's pretty normal lol
oh okey thanks
How do people maintain that high overall dps tho
ive seen someone with ish 2 mill overall
im stuck at 1.5
knowing which pulls you can CD def helps
Yeah true
and if your tank is pulling around your cooldowns, that'll be a big advantage
Okey,thanks mate!
Np!
Sub isn't the greatest overall details spec compared to some others but we do really good damage and are spectacular boss damage spec
Having a premade tank and/or having the route be good for your cooldowns also helps immensely
"hey wait 15 seconds and I can solo this pack"
but yeah, ran a few with a guild tank in discord and telling him when we can do big goes was way more fun than just trying to yolo it with a pug tank
Yes its a very large difference
or when someone else is gonna send so stuff doesn't die mid-flag
being able to say "I have cds pull big" will double your dps ong
I have cds = flag and blades is ready
I have BONGO damage = flag, blades, 8 stacks of 4p, coup and pot ready

Imagine having 4p 
Its looking like a vault/catalyst angle for 4pc lol
Just way too much loot competition on Zen token
I have 0p right now 😦
8 people on Zen 
I NEED MOOOOOOORE
big
dont wait 15s it will loses house of cards stacks D:
yall crafting lens on dagger?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
maybe im very wrong but id say sending dagger craft is just insane value
dont know why would you almost ever craft sth else in normal circumstances
Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:#Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
oo
At 640 ilvl, doing like ~1.5 mil overall depending on the dungeon. I think this is on the lower side, yeah?
depends if tank hates you it might not be as bad
Hehe. That's fair. Living PuG life, so some tanks are rough to work with. 1.5 mil is average across multiple dungeons. My assumption is low because seeing other classes pull 2mil or so with similar ilvl.
Of course comparing other classes is a bit moot, but I don't think rogue is particularly far behind

are people using catalyst on hero track?
i see so many people with tier
im still 0 pieces lol
There’s nuance to it but the idea of holding yourself back to try and ensure everything you do is perfectly efficient seems nuts to me
is the coup tier bug fixed? seems like it
I haven’t had it remove any stacks after pressing it so I believe so
Only when you press it like normal
yea, we have 2 catalyst charges, so "just" need 2 parts from raid
When do yall start saving shadow dance for shadow blades to have 2 shadow dances up
so question, if i make a dagger without a crest because its still an upgrade for me can I upgrade it later on when I get a crest?
or am I sol
Kinda depends, but you need roughly 40s left on your second charge whenever you press flag
Yes recraft
So 1 charge + 40s on the second one
It costs but not as much as from scratch
So like 20-25
Oh I see, so the first one will build into the second one
oh swet ty
Someone with 4p is tier fixed?
Think so
Idk I was just thinking about it in terms of BFA assa if I pooled energy with 8 seconds left on toxic blades it would give me enough energy
I just switch to sub so I was trying to figure out the timing
Was looking for tricks
Roughly 20-25
Stealthi has 4p and sectech and coup
Kk
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
What
Sorry ment if the sectech and coup Bug with the stacks is fixed
Yes
bro I can't believe i've been playing with WM in keys this whole time
Wow insane they fixed it
I think so
Is Signet of the Priory - Trinket really that bad or are the sims fked up? it's simmed as 658 and its still 40k worse than 639 empowering crystal from last season + 626 hc transmitter
i got 4p. it is comfirmed fixed?
It has a 3 min effective cd
Which is not good
2 min
okay. damn. i wanna change that fkn transmitter finally but no luck yet
If its not a 90s trinket, its not good
Sometimes even 90s trinkets that aren’t transmitter aren’t good either 😂
i got funhouse lens from delves too as 658 which has 1:30 min cd too. and it tells me to change with anub crystal. it sims 17k better but fk that 😄 i dont use 2x on use 1:30 min trinkets...
Jump 3 times
30m raid searching purple shit in melee
reading wowhead rotation guide and have a question. I was understanding we use Secret Technique with Symbols during SD. I did a few keys and found often SD and ST come off CD around the same time. sometimes they are slightly off but usually not by much. The wowhead guide mentions in rotation under outside SD use ST during Symbols. So we should use ST regardless of SD if we have symbols?
for ST fights
Yo quick question, when you get Coup de Grace, should you send it ASAP or do you wanna get combopoints and then send it?
Also, if you send it with 5 cp, will it do 5CP + the 5 from Coup so it does dmg like it had 10 CP?
Are we dead in PvP?
expected lul
but dont worry almost all sub rogues uninstalled already after the last 3 nerfs
maybe someone did a video with open mouth
isnt that just
a buff in pvp?
bit less of burst sure, but looks like a way higher sustain damage outside of big cds
but what do i know, didnt play pvp since tww launched 
Can we copypasta that Sectech buff please
cant seem to find it, what ilvl is it worth going 2set/2set
why no post in outlaw
new 2p by itself stinky
pain
i do not play pirate
You could sim it but unless its a massive ilvl gap i doubt its worth
yeah thats why i asked cuz i simmed 2 piece w heroic pieces including a socket and its still a loss
time to swap to sin
!wa
Do you guys use black powder that much in M+, feels like a wet noodle to me (I am a Noob)
Above like 6 or 7 targets it’s worth iirc
I'm the odd one out for some reason
but the difference is so small
if u get unlucky surely old set is better
mine was the same when I got 2 set, ~5k gain to go 2pc/2pc
Any one know if transmitter is a sim bait? it's seem like i should keep the 626 transmitter until I get house of cards...
NOT SIM BAIT, GOOD TRINKET, INSANELY ANNOYING TO USE
It is absurdly powerful for sub and is not sim bait.
It is obviously worse than any other trinket, however, if you use the trinket and the ball spawns through a wall and floats off into space.
I’m getting Nam flashbacks
Well that sucks, I seriously hate using that trinket.... Guess I'll be stuck using s1 trinket for a long time then xd
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If you really hate it and dont get the house of cards a conquest pvp trinket is not too horrible
But it is absolutely worse than transmitter
can blizzard nerf transmitter again
another 20% or so
maybe 50%
so its worth to use any random trinket instead
Just delete it and replace my trinket slot with a 665 HoC plz
Even ascendency serum?
I’m gonna get a normal hoc in my vault and I will choose it over tier
Which is a bad idea
only reason i hate trans is coz sometimes orb drops out of platforms
But it’s the principle
absolutely disgusting that transmitter is still that high lmao, but that s a sub niche
Make HoC add 10% Sectech damage as a cantrip effect in addition to the mastery
So we HAVE to get it first
Loot prio
make HoC rogue only trinket
It’s thematic

Transmitter in 30mans 
We’re rocking a Spectral Gambler set
It’s thematiiiiiic

anyone have a macro that smart summons g-99 breakneck in undermine, dragonriding mount in dragonrideable zones, and regular ground mount in non dragonriding zones like dungeons etc?
i used to have it
so not fully thematic
but i cant figure it out for the life of me
gimme a second
#showtooltip
/dismount
/cast [nomounted, noflyable] G-99 Breakneck
/run if not IsMounted() then C_MountJournal.SummonByID(0) end
yeh but I only want one button
And you can add it to Opie or anything like that
this should work
Oh yeah defer to LE
don't defer to me censi had the macro
yeah but this macro
it wont differentiate between a ground moutn and a dragonriding mount right?
it just picks 1
Is summon ID 0 random mount?
i think yea lisonna, i dont use it myself it got shared in guild earlier
like basically the idea is
I used to have one that did this as well but stopped using it
Sorry I’m a bit glonky atm
it will pick from your favourites list - pick a df one if you CAN, will pick ground if you CAN, and will pick breakneck if you CAN
i want to flex spectral tiger
Getting free birthday drinks and also chocolate peanut butter bourbon cake
ahhhhh i see i see
fuck
see its a bandaid solution
cuz that means u gotta unfavorite ah moutn and transmog mount
which makes them harder to find
but if thats the best we got i suppose ill go for it
i swear i used to have the real version of the macro tho
you put the ah mount and shit on opie
Opie OP
aintnobody got time for addons 
or on some hidden bar somewhere
opie OP
gimme a sec
you can also get like mount addons that will reorder the mount list by used
typically that will sit the ah/mog mounts super high
but Opie OP
#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrl]Grand Expedition Yak;[mod:shift]Renewed Proto-Drake;[mod:alt]Trader's Gilded Brutosaur;[indoors]Carcinized Zerethsteed;[outdoors]Wastewarped Deathwalker
/dismount [mounted]
could also go with mod apparently

yeah that's a fair effort
but that also requires only wanting to ride specific mounts
though...
hmmmmmm
nah Opie Op
#showtooltip
/cast [zone:Undermine] G-99 Breakneck
/cast [flyable] Smoldering Cinderbee;[noflyable] Acid Belcher
this would maybe work to differentiate indoor and outdoor
I have a thousand mounts, don't make me choose a favourite child
Thanks for giving me the idea to simply put the G99 first as you did, followed by my normal macro! So far, this has worked in all cases - it does give the red text error but that’s not bothersome at all. #showtooltip /cast G-99 Breakneck /cast [advflyable] Alunira; [flyable] Alunira; Alunira
just browsing through this post
I wish instead of an area being labled as "ground mont able"
you could have a condition where flying is unable
so that you could say mount a spider in an instance, on the same macro as a flying mount is on
but the macro will still choose a flying able mount because they can ALSO ground mount
The red text to be clearable if we just had a few more characters. That 255 limit is rough.
#showtooltip
/cast [nomounted, noflyable] G-99 Breakneck
/run local id; if IsSubmerged() then id = 1654 elseif C_Spell.IsSpellUsable(360954) then id = 1591 elseif IsFlyableArea() then id = 1282 else id = 847 end; C_MountJournal.SummonByID(id)```
Each of those `id` s is a mount ID. the first is water mount. Second is skyriding mount, third is no-skyriding flying mount, last is ground mount
I haven't tested this with undermine stuff but that's an old one I used to use
It does, however, require you find the mount IDs you want
How many characters do you have on that lisonna? If you've got like 40 left, you should be able to clear the error text as well.
The command is uhh, I'll have to look it up
IdTip addon shows you the mount IDs on mouseover
Only 15 left if you take out the tooltip

is sub good this patch?
!wa
My guess would be cause it has no innate stats
this works if u change flyable to advflyable btw


What's the difference between last patch and new patch that makes us like a bit of crit?
guess with more stats we get closer to dr so why not some crit. Also i m pretty sure sims do only 1 cb with cds and none in between. So 2x less cb casts = more power to crit. But that s just guesses
trickster
what do you do when your Fazed procs on a target that dies before you can Coup de Grace ? do you send Coup anyway on next target or you use Black Powder for 20 seconds ?

do sub rogues need dagger in both hands? or can i go for the mace from pvp vendor cause its mast vers
Daggers in both hands
yes
ok ty
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
slow offhands are extremely bad for sub
If I plan on doing M+ and Raid. Should I get depth enchant or raidant power?
!up
dmg is heavily based on your main hands ilvl right not really offhand?
peeps will correct me if I remember wrong but depth is for raids, radiant power is for m+ as far as I know
correct, that's why i'm unsure of what to do since i plan on doing both
^ i use one of each but idk if thats super optimal
I personally use radiant power because its still decent for ST, whereas depth seems a little lackluster in aoe
That's what I was leaning towards as well
i guess i could check WCL
Ah each one varies
I may go with depths. Can't hurt to pump a little more into ST
not all bosses are pure ST anyways so might as well get radiant power tbh but its your call
trickster pulls ahead when you have 2/4 piece so deathstalker till then?
whats can I adapt when pugging M+ as Sub ?
I'm thinkin' delaying Dance to have 2 casts during CDs can be a big loss depending on tank pulls
A lot of the time I just want to send it and just use 1 Dance during my CDs
thoughts?
do you guys had a bug on rik reverb when pylons just don't work on intermission ?
we killed on hc just fine but on normal we just don't jump lol
Oh psa you can get Wax off the goblins in undermine
Radiant power or depths ? For raid n dungeons
The entier specs damage profile is concentrated within your cds
If you dont have 2 dances in your CDs the spec sucks
Play sin instead
There shouldnt need to be any adaptation for pugs
Just send ur CDs on CD
Sometimes ur gonna send cds on a small pack thats just how it goes in pugs
@lucid jackal nice xal atath profile picture
I play the same way with sub as well. Just have double dance for cds and send them every 1:30 if pack dies so be it just pug life
!wa
nice @vale pine you added the targets thing
I managed to get 4pc, should i dump runed crests on it?
Or we saving these crests for soemthing else
What’s the threshold to BP instead of Evis? 5?6?8?

653 with 4set
@tepid trellis ok did a little grinding with some peeps
this shit was actually pretty easy
When we grinding bub?
one day 😉
hi i cant read, how good is 4 piece when should i change over
Edit 2/2 piece
2 day without fiber set me back a bit. Hoping to do some keys this weekend.
4p 13% better than no tier. You don’t run 2+2. Running your own sims would have answered this.
2+2 is an #assassination thing
ok ty
U really do love to see it
so prior to getting tier, are we still wanting to use secret tech as the 2nd finisher in dance?
Tier changes nothing
so always 1st finisher?
Generally first but in between cooldowns you can send your dance/sods with 10 or less seconds on sectec
If that makes sense
Anyone know if karuichopper from liquid is streaming?
may i obtain that for my persons
i need it
we needs it
This new coup de grace looking and sounding great
irrelevant but ive waited 2 hours to watch u talk about Rogue on max's stream
needless to say that with this voice u are doing a deservice to urself to not work on a radio or something
the rizz is real
Is sub just cucked for bis gear if you arent raiding deep into mythic? Seems like almost all the versa gear is in the raid oddly enough
Imexile on twitch
karuichopper lmao
we be watching max
nah exile is my boi, we be watching him
@tepid trellis's gear is better than exile's


sending hc crests soon
just need a trinket to drop from m+

sheesh
guys , one question would it be okay to spend my 2 catalysts with 2 heroic parts to have 2-2?

or ai waiting the chest

i would suggest you wait till vault, for example you calayst your legs, and you get tier legs from ur vault and nothing else
in that case it would be sadge
Considering this has been my dungeon loot so far
no
0 reason to go 2p2p
i have 0 pieces , 8/8 n 6/8hc + lfr = 0 tiers 
ive done 34 so far, but i didn't play a whole lot yesterday, had to dip midday

I DONT
then u wont get it

From my understanding tracking it is not really essential and can only be minorly useful in between m+ packs to preserve a stack when a pull is about to end for going into the next pack.
I am not currently tracking it in my pack but I am considering just adding a minor indicator /counter somewhere.
I added a basic one, dunno where/if i want it yet
so if sec tec comes up like 25 seconds before flag + blades and im saving sod for the window, i just dont press sec tec right? kinda plagues me
!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.
thats right
btw has anyone messed with 2 points finalty?
i find 3 charges of sod in m+ to be kinda useless
its not only about the 3 charges tho, it also gives an higher amp onto SoD
sometimes i like using just a sod charge
in some garbage pulls

okay, thanks you 
Is mag'har also best for Assa ? If you switch between specs ?
nelf is best for all classes and specs except tank

Hey guys I just started using Sub Rouge. Should Shadow Dance only be used along side Symbols of death?
Only sub XD

!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.
Oh shit
thats a command, thank you @.@
Probably because sub is s burst spec and that thing has random uptime
Sub does most of our damage within blades, which is why trinkets that ensure you have big stats for those 15s are so good. If you can't control the stat booste, ie taht trinket, its not great
thank you for the explantion guys ❤️
IF it lines up, hell yeah. If it doesn't - a different trinket that does provide that is way better
Good morning guys
Out of curiosity, have you guys already spent your first craft, if so, what did you craft?
If not, why not?
"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.

So Is a macro fine on the first charge of Shadow Dance and Symbols of Death? Just not on the second one?
Interesting, I personally haven’t crafted yet, was lucky by getting a hero track dagger from the nemesis delve drop, apparently it did better on DC sims than raid dagger lol
I’m thinking about doing boots or something depending on vault
why that trinket is A-tier? we get haste proc as lowest stat and it's weight is literally 14.1 so there's literally almost no point in that imo
it would be a 3rd keybind just for the opener, kinda pointless
How do you personally have it binded?
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
You're going to end up wanting different boots though, I think you will eventually forgoe some primary stat for having embellishment on boots instead of something like cloak
can use this so you don't accidentally double press symbols as well
anyone have a weakaura that displays the number of mobs around you?
you wouldnt beleive how many times i saw those packs

Still trying to get comfy with sub in m+. Do you try to fit 2 dances between your 1:30 cd window as well in m+ situations? (2 big -> 2 -> 2 big - 1 repeat like wowhead guide regarding st?)
generally yes
some downtime might fuck with it
you adapt to pulls and cooldown aligning but yea usually
That's an old macro
thank you
The bonus eviscerate shadow damage to fw targets doesn’t flurry?
hard to get the same overall as assa in 7 keys right now, will need to practice more. Dmg outside of dance feels so weird in comparison to df s1 and 2
Sometimes just using cold + secTec with dance/sod enough if you're not sure about timing (low keys). High keys different cause CD every 1/2 packs
from the main target iirc it does
Hmm can’t make the math add up for bp at 7+ targets then
But it lines up nicely if it doesn’t flurry
Unless i suck at math, which is quite possible
bp is like 80% of an evis or smth like that
!wa
so at the end of the day the builder before sectec will always be a bstab?
so you trade a little bit overall for more valuable st + burst i guess (?)
It does but since nimble is physical it gets reduced by armor
Also shadowed finisher is 30% is premitigated damage
Just to make things more confusing
maff
just make all sub rogue finishers shadow damage and remove shadowed finishers
Amen brother
went on a tear today
just slamming keys back to back to back with a set group
this is the most fun i've had playing sub in years

How to survive baron braunpyke's altar dot? All I can think of is Crimson Vial and maybe cloak.
what altar dot? you mean the dot from soaking?
Yeah
spec elusiveness
Elusiveness later once we learn the dungeons well enough
I for sure do still get better value from cheat
I'll swap to elusiveness for this dungeon already then and keep cheat death for a little longer.
please how macros works - lets say shadow blades+pvp trinket.
it will be like this - and just once push the keybind?
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast xy(name of trinket)
yes it will perform all the abilities in the macro at once
we legit just had our tank soaking most of em on a 10
and then if you have cloak up you can use it to solo soak a bunch
cuz 2+2 is suck
not really just our last 4p is quite decent
sadly a lot of power also comes from new 4p
2pc by itself is cringe because no dance protection
just perma drops all the time
press coup and say goodbye to all your stacks
or play around it then begin dance at like 5 stacvks
first sec tech drops all of them
EYYYYYYYYYYYYY
that is the woe of rogue sometimes
even if 1 spec is decently good other classes exist
well also after blizz nerfed our good value in raid being burst we still do quite decent
but like 20 to 30% less than what was though on patch beginning
Havoc is better. Likely sims higher as well. Just numbers.
before the 3 moving around power and things
so now we are back once again to "decently" high burst
but nothing crazy enough to shift things around
echo gonna spreadsheet game anyways
I’m curious what the ST sim difference is between him on havoc and perfecto as sub/assa
at least we have our trusty karuichopper in liquid
if the havoc has the cool shit should be around 200k to 150k ish at most i think?
and assuming they can play them equally that’s a lot At this point in tuning
Does anyone have the right bus list with sim?
but then warrior was decent and raid cd
I think the dmg output it too high to drop atrophic
so you’re brining one
they can run 1 rogue eventually i think
but maybe on dagger bosses
so loot is not wasted
kekw
then last 3 because of atro
it’s interesting seeing the variance in numbers on the first boss
Are we really going for flickering glowtorc for neck? And not vers mastery neck?
of logs that have been posted
oh boi
Useless bullshit.
as long as item has no haste and high ilvl
it is equipable
dont worry about bis lists
for some months
Kinda need bust list for priority for guild runs
You don’t
And myth proc
we need a master of physics to answer some of these questions
That is true
ideally rogue in raid only has 2 items jastor ring and house of cards everything else can be crafted or is decent
then droptimizer crafted
you can also soak the vers mastery leather
And decide how greedy you want to be
well of course you craft dagger
I mean you’re silly not to
Yeah
No idea what to use the free hero crest for tho
Worry about that when you have a second spark
if you lready have for dagger
because by the time we have second spark a champion/hero upgraded item
is just better
embellish are omega ass this tier
they are like 10 ilvl
effective
that is why if you craft wep you can just run blessed grip or lens and the other s1 piece with patch just change it
for a hero item
!up
That top one is not an on-use
Or do you just mean priory as on offtrinket i guess
But ye all trinkets just suck ass this expansion
Feint
I seem to to die to the dot more than the aoe effect tbh
yes im referring to the dot
Feint work on spells coded as aoe, it has nothing to do wether they are a dot or not
It works on the dot
backstab premed isn't in the APL yet right?
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
!up
!wa
with backstab dance does that mean we always want to start dance at 0cp to consume premed with backstab every time?
ideally 0 yeah but if you have a few CPs it's not the end of the world
the cycle of sub. Stab in dance. Don’t stab in dance. Stab in dance.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
either on low combo points or on values you can finish with
!bs
Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:#Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
you can use this macro if you want
it is actually stronger in aoe if you are in a first dance
no way man
do you do it in any dance or just the big cds
and do you do it in the second dance aswell
in blades
ah so if you're full CP is it better to just dance finisher? or spend, dance backstab finisher?
sometimes you begin dance with full cp so you evis and maybe proc a shadowcraft and sec tech instantly other times you get a builder in between so yea you would stab
sub is kinda rng for second dance
but as you use SoD later anyway you do stab
there is nothing wrong with dancing with full cp
right now dropping rotten actually makes things easier
kk so the extra danse stack isn't that important that you spend before dancing
but idk if you can do that pre new 4 set havent simmed things yet
seems like it's overall quite a small optimization
it always is
but you know what is not a small one
using sod for charger in ToP while moving around!
haha trueee i noticed that doing keys today
you can begin last boss with 4 chargers a lot of the time and still get 4 in cds on pull more
some keys have considerable downtime
it depends how your group does ToP
if you leave up the 3 pack to do before last boss then i think you don't want to send all 3 symbols charges
yea that is a thaing
we're doing the classic routing in ToP right now
but it is easier to get all % just doing bigger pull on the necro side
true true
6 sec cheapshot is actually kinda crazy
if you were to create a rogue now would you choose dwarf or maghar for the most optimized?
dwarf
even on raid it can cleanse some nifty things
stoneform is kinda cracked this season
i'm already getting a lot of mileage out of it
very tempted to go maghar though
because it looks cooler
Mechagnomes power
be human and get that free extra mastery believe
The only downfall is most of the mogs look like ass if you don’t like huge shoulders
i actually love the maghar model 😉
How it is different from orc?
It’s not. Both suck for shoulders and moment in stealth imo
less customization on maghar
Do we use Rupture in more Cleave/AoE?
It’s like VE not having nearly the number of options as BE. Orc has a lot more to mess with.
yes so long as targets live 12 secs or longer
exact time might have changed, but it's roughly that
How many targets until we dont apply rupture?
can we vanish the Leaping Sparks in floodgate?
Well its now their problem so whatever
Jk
do we break s1 4p for s2 2p?
where do we get the vers mastery feet from?
Crafted or boe
thats unfortunate
The difference between vers/mastery and crit/mastery is very very very negligible
Stat differences are vastly overrated

i need to speak to an astro physicists regarding the use of symbols of dance
Would it be viable to run Tea instead of Supercharger?
Or well maybe not viable, but would it be just straight dogshit or can it be playable with Tea instead
Yeah the leather loot in m+ is horrifically itemised
Some off pieces are raid or craft or cya
But even that is not great and doesnt really do much at all. Im assuming you think that tea is gonna help you feel less energy starved, which is not really the case
As the by far best usecase of tea is to macro it to shadowdance
Both yes and no, I mainly thought that the mastery buff could be nice
20% and then you combo it with CDs and just nuke was my thought
https://gyazo.com/5d58aae7ceb02990626eb695c79a1b06
which loadout would you recommend for m+ right now? (not relying on sims)
peep the huge 619s lmao was really unlucky last season
just starting playing sub, am i ever using symbols not with shadow dance?
yea sometimes
you can
Tea is not 20% more damage though, its 20% additional mastery. And since with flagellation up you would already have roughly 150% mastery.
So then tea only increases your finisher damage by roughly 8% (2.7 instead of 2.5 modifier)
Whereas supercharger is +43% on two finishers always
Do we storm on aoe whitout rotten in dance as second builder too?
I would suggest pvp trinket as an active one, easy to get and if you don't have big transmitter loses only to house of cards
havent seen this one yet, will have a look ty
Idk why it's not in any guide/sim, it's really good
really wanna get rid off transmitter already
it is quite decent as a second trinket too for m+
but nothing crazy power lvl of trinkets overall is quite low
you can see it on they can nerf transmitter by 15%
currently using thugs but I was thinking about replacing with remnant
and it is still so good
Step sis I'm still stuck with 2 season 1 trinkets
Hello guys. I feel like 4p last season was better than 4p this season. Tell me i'm wrong
fits this seasons theme I guess Smoge
Gain of current season tier set is so small so I would agree
why would you think it would be not as good !
Numerically it is better
But all sets this expansion have a lower power budget than previous expansions so 
the 4p is really good, it's the 2p that sucks
Do you check the number of stacks before really attacking ? Or you go just normal as if it wasnt here ?
My recent M+ drop would like to have a word with you
You don't want to lose stacks before cds
sub set is still rly good, just need the 4p
we get a catalyst every week and a spark every 2 weeks right?
Well even so the difference between that and a good neck is smaller than people think
4p on reset should be easy
Yeah true, but it's still kinda the worst of the worst options 😄
Sometimes when I close my eyes I can hear the shadow dance sequence
fuu I dont see a recommendation on ascension for m+, does it make a differance if I have lens or asc?
an other thing to track.. x(
embellish are whatever
blessed grip and dusk are a bit better on m+
but who cares
ok ty
ascencion is decent lens is also
gonna wait for vault till I craft
there is no reason not to craft dagger
Sub. Will fall off on later bosses already can feel it
even if you get a vault dagger you are using gilded on it
yea sub is kinda mid on higher gear but we already knew
at least we still have somewhat decent burst
I see Assa being played on One Armed Bandit and Mugzee 100%
Sub is heroic week hero
Hi, I noticed the opener changed in wowhead guide. Quick sim still shows the old way with Vanish etc. , Is wowhead opener the way to go ?
you mean atro is played in one armed bandit and mug zee
warrior does like 600k more dps there
Gally seems like a good Sub fight for bombing the ads but depends what mythic looks like
Every 2 weeks, theres an in game timer at the catalyst
ah tyty
you could play outlaw and no one woudl care about the dps diff
ofc they will stack as many arms as they can for those fights, but if they use a rogue assa will just be better
Got outlaw weapon in raid so I may aswell
better at dying to raid dmg maybe yea
the diff between rogue specs is so low even in execute assa needs to get at least 2 cast of cds to be decent
if sub gets 2 and assa gets 1 last phase dmg is better too
it is not as easy as
OH LAST PHASE IMPORTANT
meanwhile execute execute execute mortal strike
overpower overpower execute mortal strike
Good old tindral time when more rogues than one was played
they also dont delete parry!
Now even kush playing dh and liquid don't even have second rogue
makes sense after nerfs we are just worse warrior or monk
and dh does a lot of dmg too
and i dont mean our burst is not good just
it is not as spectacular or needed
and the junk magnet
like i got
it is decent on sub and quite bad for everyone else
The only trinket we got on the first raid clear was the keys from the first boss
I have heroic transmitter and mythic mandate so
apl for it is a bit krangled
it does not get used correctly
but it is also nothing crazy
does like 1.x% of dmg
a bit more of some mobs are around
feels kinda safe to send insta weap craft right?
even if get a myth track dagger from vault next week
dagger in OH still used
i love sub so much and i pray i get fucking house of cards tomorrow
cause i cant take this anymore
whats the pvp trinket name?
go back some messages
how much pvp
badge of ferocity
I did 9 hours of islands for the essences
simming so hard rn
I'm strong enough to do that again
Is heroic transmitter a "big" one or is that only mythic
transmitter in general
mythic is the only one that stays until mythic house of cards
but still the next one is hc vs hc house of cards
In big AEO Pulls do I use Shuriken storm in my Dance window or do I always use Shadowstrike regardless of mob count?
658 pvp, 626 transmitter, 665 house of cards (this is on my character, just an example)
what sim is this? or how can i do it?
once at 7 targets for danse macabre stack
wdym, just raidbots
else shadowstrike
oh sry i have never seen this. Do i download something?
wait are we back to using backstab for danse macabre?
Deals more dmg or is there another reason?
Google raidbots
shuriken storm really weak
oki thanks
standard m+ build entire dungeon
paints the picture i think
Thats also not including the flurries from strike
does mastery drop off at all? currently at 81%
it is better to sim the gear than try to get some specific stats
and as always dont copy me
i just like mastery

I just saw that the raid trash drops vers/mastery boots with high vers. I wonder why they aren't bis. Wouldn't that allow us to replace the crit/vers neck?
!up
you dont just replace something you do combinations
We like a lil crit
In big AOE is it worth to use the second finisher after Tech with BP even if we got Coupe? So i supercharge Powder and coupe after
and if that neck sims better it is for a reason
you use coup as soon as possible unless sec tech is off cd
to get 5 stacks of flawless
I was mainly wondering if the trash loot was even considered. But if it was and sims worse, that's fine. Was just asking.
It doesnt matter
So coup always after tech if i have it rdy? Even if its like 30 mobs and i could use the second charge for powder?
The boe boots will be useful for a non insignificant portion of the patch anyway, just sim it
Coup if its ready
