Who are some good sub rogues on youtube? I'd like to watch some stuff on 0.5x speed, which is not possible on every twitch stream

midnight folio
#

anyone has any clue why 1st tick is 5 mil? (last boss floodgates)

paper iron
#

it s like lot of dot this game

#

u got the initial hit + a dot

#

oh if that s the intermission

#

dont be middle of him

#

gues that s what happened there

hardy agate
#

Do you guys craft weapon this week or wait your vaults?

alpine wraith
#

craft weapon

#

150k dps aint waitin for no one

midnight folio
paper iron
#

i crafted weapon as well first, guess i should have wait to see if first boss mythic dropped one but w/e it s helping rn

hollow spear
#

Putting it in OH eventually would have been my play anyways

#

Just like last season

#

And since trinkets are meh this tier, I'm not going to lose sleep over using 60 gilded crests anyways

paper iron
#

exactly my thought process, off hand in worst case, in the meantime it s just a great help for m+ / early raid

alpine wraith
#

also blessed grip is very good for my mastery addiction

paper iron
#

Not a wasted craft w/e happens

hollow spear
#

My sim doesn't like blessed grip

#

Dunno why

#

Even tho I should scale well with mastery thanks to transmitter (which also means I'll never get hoc anytime soon)

alpine wraith
#

well all embellish are whatever and you only really change if you took off the writhing patch piece

#

otherwise asdendance+patch is better

#

also lens should be better st

#

just on raid an m+ only 1 fight is full st

#

i might go back to 2 radiance depths is not doing as much as i though

tribal blade
#

to get the best of both worlds

#

when i simmed that it's basically like gaining +0.5% dps to ST from x2 radiant power

alpine wraith
#

i kinda dont like how depths has 3 layers of rng

#

it proccing it staying at 3 stacks then crits

tribal blade
#

and losing 0.5% dps in dslice from x2 radiant power

#

yeah it's weird

alpine wraith
#

im very unlucky

tribal blade
#

BUT radiant power has big rng too about getting it to proc in cds

alpine wraith
#

it hits hard now too for some reason

tribal blade
#

they did buff the inital dmg by something like 20%

alpine wraith
#

on my m+ radiance was doing 1% and depths like 1.2% to 1.3%

#

so idk

#

maybe i just close my eyes and accept that both are whatever and the main stat from radiance can also proc whenever

empty oyster
alpine wraith
#

yea with high ilvl new set is fine

dapper stirrup
#

In m+ do we always wait for dance to be ready before we use ST?

jaunty heath
#

Alo question, do I remember correctly is backstabbing once in every dance neutral to backstabbing once in cds

alpine wraith
#

backstabbing once is 0.3% to 0.6%

#

without tier and with tier

jaunty heath
#

Nah but I mean backstabbing once in every dance vs backstabbing once only in cds (flag)

#

I think that was neutral iirc

molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

with my current gear, will check with new

lucid jackal
#

Huh

subtle jay
#

well

#

7th boss was easier than 6th on HC

alpine wraith
#

mug is a numbers check kinda

#

so if you went first day 640 ilvl it was kinda diff but now it falls easier

keen dome
#

Only rogue on a heroic Rik pug kill and a dagger drops

alpine wraith

i was also the only rogue in ridk lfr

keen dome
#

I have been blessed this week

swift tinsel
#

meanwhile our dk who has THE most insane loot luck I have ever seen got natty 4pc

#

we've done 10 bosses between normal and heroic and he's been getting showered in loot

keen dome
#

haha damn

swift tinsel
#

he's gotten every super rare mount drop on his first or second kill for most of them, his luck must be studied

#

and I'm pretty sure he just started playing in late SL or early DF

keen dome
#

heroic stix looks vile, geez.

#

Pug killer wall boss.

swift tinsel
#

Yeah there's a fair bit of personal responsibility that might mess with a lot of people

keen dome
#

yep

calm rose
#

What are you guys doing for necks this tier?

vale pine
#

mythic looks extremely tough this time around

#

heroic too

calm rose
#

darkflame cleft neck or is crafting one a good idea

jolly pasture
swift tinsel
#

it usually is

vale pine
#

^ very likely is

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

bc some of those bosses as-is in RWF are unkillable

jolly pasture
#

thats for mythic, hc is just extremely overtuned

#

gallywix being 8 healded by rwf guilds is xdd

vale pine
#

Heroic def. feels a bit too hard

swift tinsel
#

actions.build=backstab,if=buff.shadow_dance.up&buff.premeditation.up is in the base APL I'm using

vale pine
#

ah perfect

swift tinsel
#

then added &buff.flagellation.up and &buff.shadow_blades.up for each of the others

subtle jay
#

game went toxic on me

swift tinsel
#

I was checking if its worth w/ rotten to dance-stab-sod-sectech but it was making sod do funny things but now that my coffee is kicking in I might look a bit more

vale pine
#

i just was not sure becuase it was all similar for me when i tested

#

but gear was diffrent

#

i used the tier profile

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's with my current retail gear which is not great

subtle jay
#

fuck dat dude

alpine wraith
#

yea the less mastery and mastery things you have the less stabbing in dance is

jolly pasture
#

0 rogues in rwf comp man peepono

swift tinsel
#

I think I'm at 94% unbuffed mastery

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

are you running tfd?

swift tinsel
#

sec

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

only if dmg intake is a problem

#

also stix drops nothing for rogues

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that build has TfD

alpine wraith
#

so even if they were useful they dont want to waste loot

swift tinsel
#

I'll rerun with WM instead and see what happens

vale pine
#

loot is def. a good point

subtle jay
#

so hopefuly we'll get him 1st pull

vale pine
#

šŸ™

subtle jay
#

but im too frustrated and distracted to listen to rl xd

swift tinsel
#

WM instead of TfD

jolly pasture
#

its wild to me how rwf guilds knew so well how hard this raid will be in advance (i assume thats why so many splits)

#

the most splits ever perhaps? feels like it to me

subtle jay
jolly pasture
#

i didnt watch rwf then

subtle jay
#

saying just from my own experience

subtle jay
#

didnt watch rwf either xd

molten citrus
#

they almost always have a shit ton of splits

jolly pasture
#

isnt it also too early to say which was harder?

subtle jay
jolly pasture
subtle jay
#

on HC and NM

#

mythic is literally another level of understanding

jolly pasture
#

oh idk about hc and norm

#

normal has been piss easy since i can remember so its hard to judge 1 piss easy raid vs another piss easy raid

#

hc is insane this time around, and i came into NP very late so cant compare there

shadow lance
#

NP was harder cause we were lacking stuff

molten citrus
#

most races have had less, but i think we've seen this much before

#

idk tho just going off vibes

jolly pasture
#

i guess NP might be harder considering the fact they had entire HC week to do as many splits as they want, as weel as a reset so presumambly they went into mythic way more geared

jolly pasture
#

going off vibes i never saw 4th boss be a wall basically

#

thats why it seems like this one will be super tought, but bosses look very fun so its aight

jaunty heath
#

This boss ain’t a wall yet

#

Both guilds are on their first day - liquid finished their day and echo are on it, calling it a wall might be a bit of a reach still

#

It certainly can be

#

But I wouldn’t call it a wall yet

#

Also @swift tinsel thanks for the sim I appreciate it Surebud

swift tinsel
#

happy to help!

jolly pasture
#

considering the discrepancy between 3rd and 4th boss its a wall in my mind

jaunty heath
#

Eh, it doesn’t necessarily have to be the 4th boss

#

Max said yday he thinks sprocketmonger is actually decently easier than stix

#

But swapping would be dangerous if they don’t kill it they showed 2 bosses on stream

#

So they kept going stix

jaunty heath
# swift tinsel happy to help!

Iā€˜m just thinking about the SD/Bs macro looking for a downside to just doing /cast twice since SD isn’t on the gcd

Only issue I’m currently seeing is the second dance if ur already at full co

In cds that is

primal lily
#

question, im trying to go sub but no daggers dropping. is it viable for me to craft my dagger, and just have a fist in the offhand?

#

or is it a big diff

alpine wraith
#

big diff

primal lily
#

gosh dangit

alpine wraith
#

buy a green dagger from ah to put on off hand

spark tusk
#

!oh

wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

@vale pine

vale pine

if it was a big pull

#

then it misses BP

oak grotto

Is it worth to use SecTech without CB

#

Aslong as I always use SecTech in Shadow dance

vale pine
#

yes

#

you will use secret a lot without cb

Seeing Perfecto doing pvp. Is the Pvp trinket an Option for sub? Or what am I missing?

oak grotto

#

Is the backstab trick to use it as first gcd of dance?

swift tinsel
#

with premeditation buff

#

so usually

#

unless you have full cp going into dance

vale pine
#

can think of it as always during dance

Why in the opener can you not use dance, symbols, and blades together?

Okay that's what I figured, if you hold it until after backstab you're just gaining a global of blades duration

you are still not supposed to macro them together

swift tinsel
#

you get it early enough in opener dance to not worry about it

#

the snd uptime loss is very minimal

strange chasm
#

Interesting that's quite nice. Opener is a lot more simple

swift tinsel
#

yeah, realistically you miss one potential UB proc but unless you get extremely lucky and get a Thousand Cuts reset for it you don't lose anything

#

you just end up moving the vanish to after your cooldowns

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.

i think sub is very hard to actually fix in m+

i think if u played sub a bit you'd know what i mean by fix

things just dont align well playing randomly

u just have to get ur dances/symbols and cds correctly

its just gone from the wowhead guide

u can, but u can also hold it for mecanics and stuff

yea fuu simplified it

I guess you could say it.. It vanished.

fallow bone
#

ugh

paper iron

basically, doing it or nah is the same

fallow bone
#

by mechanics you mean using it as a step?

paper iron

so he d rather keep things simpler

fallow bone

etc

paper iron
#

well, as a step, as a dodge, as a cancel, as whatever it could be used

#

as a big cp generator

fallow bone
#

yeah

paper iron
#

if u dont need to hold vanish for a mecanics, it s fine to keep the habit

fallow bone
#

also if im gonna be lazy and macro my trinket is it better to pair it to shadowblades as opposed to flag?

paper iron
#

which trinket?

fallow bone
#

mythic transmitter

paper iron
#

house of card = blades
transmitter = flag

fallow bone
#

i figured transmitter better with flag

#

k

#

legend, thanks

paper iron

and since u use transmitter, try to keep the habit of the vanish in pull so u have perfect time to activate transmitter buff as you sectech Surebud

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

Hey I have a question since we now cb 2nd sectech i noticed I sometimes see my transmitter buff fall off right before the 2nd sectech. Wouldn't that be a bigger loss then cb first sectech?

tepid trellis
#

yes,

#

dont fuck up the transmitter

steel zinc
#

So since I ain't perfect transmitter gamer I should just cb then first still

the diff is quite small tho i did some transmitter fuckup sims

What exactly is to early. Just meaning don't have the buff for the 2nd sectech right?

What would it be to send sectech with cb first

#

Like the change to screw up is big imo especially with the floating orb

vale pine
#

the sim iirc uses it with flagellaiton

steel zinc
#

I try to Pop transmitter buff right before 1 sectech but that is not possible all the time

#

Like in my mind it's better to get the buff then lose a whole transmitter

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.

am i supposed to be fitting in 2 dances + symbols in-between flag/sb?

#

You go b2b dance and your 2nd symbols you just send in st to supercharge the 2nd sectech

vale pine

#

sorry i mean when flag/sb are on cooldown

vale pine
#

you align your cooldowns around secret between the 90 secounds

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

so typically will use one time symbols-dance - secret

#

someitmes two times, but most of the time only once

#

it depends on how much of your cooldowns you have

#

because you always want to have enough to use 2x symbols and 2x dance during the 90 secound ones

hey guys with CB, whats the reason you dont just macro it anymore and use it for second sec tech? 4 piece stacks?

hazy breach
#

!cb

wicked joltBOT
#
  • 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.
paper iron
#

So many good commands in this channel happy_holiday_pepe

foggy egret
#

so it will be more of a decision depending on cds and flawless form rather than just always second sec tec

during cds

it s always 2nd tech

well if by strong you mean doing 200k less than others kinda

we are very strong vs tanks

at that ilvl bracket

more nerfs are not likely

I want MORE crits

in m+ we do have more leeway but also it is very skill dependant

on where you use cds

I'm curious how we feel in 3 - 4 weeks as more people get gear. But I am extremely happy with my own performance so far. Absolutely blasting is so much fun

if I have a coup proc up when I press symbols/dance do I hit evis first and then sect tech?

normal dances yeh

cd dances you wanna sectech first

to fit two inside of transmitter/blades

valid flame

ah makes sense, ty!

Yeah, don't think we'll get nerfed

And anecdotal evidence of pumping harder than others might just be them being shit or you being a pumper haha

And our scaling is actual ass

hazy breach

But sub definitely feels really solid if youre route is not awful

tepid trellis

shit has dmg 24/7

like he wont do my peak dmg

#

but while im doing 12-13mil

#

on big pulls

#

he does 10

They always melt the shitters crazy fast

tepid trellis

and when im out of cds doing like 5

he does 8

#

its wild

tepid trellis
#

cinderbrew is good ret key aswell

#

they do insane low target cleave dmg

hazy breach
#

Sub def feels a bit oof on bigger pulls. Or rather it feels like its way stronger when you can just nimble

tepid trellis
#

and they dont have to care 1 bit about routing at all

#

they just perma blast

alpine wraith
#

at least on big pulls you feel immortal

#

thx to ruptures and bps with exhil

molten citrus
alpine wraith
#

nothing like getting hit with toll for 5m then healing it all in 2 bps

hollow spear
#

Maybe im elitist, but I feel like a class that simple shouldn't be pumping that hard

tepid trellis
#

yeh, thats ehm

alpine wraith
#

well ret is also very tanky

keen dome
#

I've seen a lot of rets who don't pump hard at all. I think it's fine that people can play it well and do big dam.

tepid trellis
#

tbf like to minmax ret in keys

#

to actually do insane dmg

#

is not "that" easy

hollow spear
#

True

tepid trellis
#

needs perma combat

hollow spear
#

But compared to sub

#

If I make a wrong decision about sending

tepid trellis
#

its like the worst group i couldve done m+ with

alpine wraith

yea i was talking with some people and it is going to be a very sad season

tepid trellis
#

we are both upfront bursters

alpine wraith

everyone wanting to be in combat 24/7

so small shit dies instant

because of kezan and house of cards

and id like to get TFD resets for cds

Kiss your tfd good bye guys

tepid trellis

but he doesent want combat drop so we perma chain, and in some dungeons its fine

#

Thats why you have vanish thinkge

tepid trellis

if we can constant pull like 6-7 mobs

alpine wraith
#

it is still good

it is just so sad

tepid trellis

but in cinderbrew its garbage

swift tinsel

started gearing my dh and its obscene fun, I feel guilty lol

#

Well I guess they are purple..

vale pine
#

it is part of the expectation by now

#

And now they buffed bm, so even the ranged rets get to have fun

tepid trellis
#

also i will note that the ret im playing with 656

#

and has 4set

vale pine
#

keep in mind that we by now have like 1/3rd of the melee dps on ret or so

tepid trellis
#

so he is geared to the teeth

oh yeah I spacebar and think my game is lagging lol

2-1-1-2-1-0-2

1s and 0s being your dance + SoD

2s being flag+blades

#

Scaling is so meh tho, if you droptimize on rogue compared to warri you get very sad

crimson ember
#

@tepid trellis So I can weave in 2 Dances + SoD between the first and second Flag/Blades then? If I understand correctly? And only one between the second and third?

tepid trellis
#

third should again be 2

#

it repeats itself

hollow spear
#

I hope the scaling issue becomes apparent before 11.0.5 hits

crimson ember

Ah my bad, the 0 confused me. @tepid trellis Is there any sort of "timer" to keep in mind? For when to optimally use the Dance + SoD outside Flag/Blades?

Just every few months "hey we buffed Sub by 10%

not scale per se but we just begin higher then they go higher

Typical for a vers class. As long as blizz is aware and tunes accordingly no concerns.

#

it they waaaaanted to turn our Streak buff to 3-4% per stack I wouldn't be mad

hazy breach
#

No

what is "scaling" now is things like:

  • How much gain from tier set
  • How much upgrade from weapon upgrades
  • How much damage gain from special effect items
  • How much gain from trinkets

Is this any good campared to tt?

My 658 PvP trink simmed 10k~ worse than my TT at 619. And I think Scath said it was something like 0.2% worse than Heroic? (They're so close in Agility anyway)

that is a bit more than double

keen dome

But I imagine Mythic is just way stronger

and 3-4/5 classes in each group in lfr ended up being paladin

It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:

/cast Blood Fury

theres a delay between pressing sec tech and when the clones hit, so you can min max that by not pressing blades till after, allowing more globals in blades window

is shadow dance always used after symbols ?

but we will replace the ring once we have a higher item level

not always technically

because in the 90 secound window you will use the 2nd dance back to back

you can drop set with secret
