Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
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
EDIT: This was made during 11.0.5 but its still applicable in 11.1
This opener is for trickster specifically but its almost the same for Deathstalker. If you have any further questions feel free to tag me (@Eleem) in the Ravenholdt Rogue discord.
also @alpine wraith
Thanks!
anyone has any clue why 1st tick is 5 mil? (last boss floodgates)
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
Do you guys craft weapon this week or wait your vaults?
guess shadowstep is close enough or i pressed "w", could ve at least stated it like somewhere
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
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
exactly my thought process, off hand in worst case, in the meantime it s just a great help for m+ / early raid
also blessed grip is very good for my mastery addiction
Not a wasted craft w/e happens
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)
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
i actually just put on 1 depths 1 radiant power
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
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
i kinda dont like how depths has 3 layers of rng
it proccing it staying at 3 stacks then crits
im very unlucky
BUT radiant power has big rng too about getting it to proc in cds
it hits hard now too for some reason
they did buff the inital dmg by something like 20%
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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gHC29XC28zZo26YN5vpVG8
Is this ilvl diff?or i am simming wrongly
sim telling to go 2pc 2pc instead of old 4pc
yea with high ilvl new set is fine
In m+ do we always wait for dance to be ready before we use ST?
Alo question, do I remember correctly is backstabbing once in every dance neutral to backstabbing once in cds
Nah but I mean backstabbing once in every dance vs backstabbing once only in cds (flag)
I think that was neutral iirc
the main focus is symbols+tech
with my current gear, will check with new
Huh
mug is a numbers check kinda
so if you went first day 640 ilvl it was kinda diff but now it falls easier
Only rogue on a heroic Rik pug kill and a dagger drops
eeez
da big luck
i was also the only rogue in ridk lfr
got dagger from rik but mug dropped literally shit
rip
unlucky as fuck
Mage trinket
however our hunt got 6 tokens from 1st split
Mage tiers proven
literally everything
me, with one normal dagger and gloves I can't equip 
I have been blessed this week
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
haha damn
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
Yeah there's a fair bit of personal responsibility that might mess with a lot of people
yep
What are you guys doing for necks this tier?
darkflame cleft neck or is crafting one a good idea
i hope its just RWF difficulty and as soon its done they come in and make the raid for everyone else
it usually is
^ very likely is
did you use the lines i had in #1065728795455266888 ?
bc some of those bosses as-is in RWF are unkillable
thats for mythic, hc is just extremely overtuned
gallywix being 8 healded by rwf guilds is xdd
Heroic def. feels a bit too hard
actions.build=backstab,if=buff.shadow_dance.up&buff.premeditation.up is in the base APL I'm using
ah perfect
then added &buff.flagellation.up and &buff.shadow_blades.up for each of the others
game went toxic on me
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
i just was not sure becuase it was all similar for me when i tested
but gear was diffrent
i used the tier profile
yeah that's with my current retail gear which is not great
fuck dat dude
yea the less mastery and mastery things you have the less stabbing in dance is
0 rogues in rwf comp man 
I think I'm at 94% unbuffed mastery
that guy looks sus, with that smile on his face
damn that is weird then
are you running tfd?
sec
i mean you need a rogue for our raid buff 
Yeah that build has TfD
so even if they were useful they dont want to waste loot
I'll rerun with WM instead and see what happens
loot is def. a good point
he's easier than 6th and 7th bosses on HC
so hopefuly we'll get him 1st pull
š
but im too frustrated and distracted to listen to rl xd
WM instead of TfD
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
well, NP raid was harder than this one
i didnt watch rwf then
saying just from my own experience
idts
didnt watch rwf either xd
they almost always have a shit ton of splits
isnt it also too early to say which was harder?
in terms of 1st week NP was way ahead
yeah but this many? i think max even said they are usually in mythic right now while they were still doing splits
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
NP was harder cause we were lacking stuff
i think any time they expect a raid to go into next reset they do about this much
most races have had less, but i think we've seen this much before
idk tho just going off vibes
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
same
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
This boss aināt 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 wouldnāt call it a wall yet
Also @swift tinsel thanks for the sim I appreciate it 
happy to help!
considering the discrepancy between 3rd and 4th boss its a wall in my mind
Eh, it doesnāt 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 donāt kill it they showed 2 bosses on stream
So they kept going stix
Iām just thinking about the SD/Bs macro looking for a downside to just doing /cast twice since SD isnāt on the gcd
Only issue Iām currently seeing is the second dance if ur already at full co
Cp*
In cds that is
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
big diff
gosh dangit
buy a green dagger from ah to put on off hand
!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.
you can get a crafted pvp dagger that is 636 ilvl too

!guide
farming the sockets took longer than the neck tbh

yeah the pvp sockets take a bit
really wish they'd let us buy our jewelry sockets with gold too, its so lame
Tried to reroll warlock and returned to rogue just because that discord is the best class discord in the game
now I just need any +10 neck to send it to 655
Seeing Perfecto doing pvp. Is the Pvp trinket an Option for sub? Or what am I missing?
But never without Shadow Dance?
Is the backstab trick to use it as first gcd of dance?
extremely rare yes
can think of it as always during dance
Why in the opener can you not use dance, symbols, and blades together?
yep
you would much rather end up holding CB compared to holding Tech
gz
you sorta do, give or take a global
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
Wait no evis to start slice n dice?
!up
you get it early enough in opener dance to not worry about it
the snd uptime loss is very minimal
Interesting that's quite nice. Opener is a lot more simple
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
Stix in pugs is painful, geez.
!cd
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.
!craft
how close is bubblin wax to stone nowadays
everyone farming prio iits harded to get in tbh
and i cba hate that dungeon
I had our holy paladin say "get this shit out of my bags" when I asked if I could get the priory ring from him lol
would you guys consider catalysting a champ piece to get 4 set? Or just grind it out for the 4th hero piece?
You better do a 60m sectec
lmao, yeah, it owns
I was helping a friend doing a 4 earlier and set it up perfectly and just watched the boss HP bar drain
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Lockensprocket is hella chaotic but what a fun fight. Very reminiscient of blackfuse which I assume is the idea.
hello, shall i craft Everforged Dagger? Or maybe another one for mainhand?
A dagger craft is very good but you want to make sure it's the Everforged Stabber, as the dagger is an Int weapon.
2nd boss rookery dps 
of course stabber my bad š shall i use Elemental Focusing Lens for it or maybe something else?
Sim it but whatever really
btw im here to call again Sub's gonna dominate the tier(called it more than a month ago)
thats all
plz continue

DUDE
THIS WAS 2 SET
NOT 4 SET
NO WAY
2.14m with this gear 
forgot to fix gear
gonna test bleed/hybrid sin specs before testing sub.Sub feels enormous atm
played my mage a bit
ngl sub can do crazy shit in m+
i am actually not sure how strong rogue is
Yeah, Sub has some silly numbers in M+ atm. Amp bosses, first boss ToP. Some of the big pulls. It's great.
i did 5m st end of fight on ptr 1st boss motherlode without the goon trinket and no lust
i think sub is stronger than mage atm,least in the low keys,like 8-10s
but everythinng dies silly fast
I havent seen a single person outdps me so far
mage is super op in higher keys
i never waste my coldbloods anymore in m+
and transmitter is rly strong still
took me a while to do this well
looking at some tier sets
20%+ dps gains
i fear this will over the long run have impact on whats considered strong
tho sub bursts, has great survival, brings no parry for the group and a speedy shroud
Sometimes it doesnāt line up in between blade windows no?
there will be more tuning,thats the only thing i actually am afraid of.Blizzard is famous of doiing weird stuff
it always lines up with blades if u know what ur doing
can someone link me eleem's thread from tc research I think where he explained all the rotational things
Yeah but in between
I can't find it
You wouldnāt consider that a waste?
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
Is there any substitutes to Augment Rune?
its a waste to not CB beefed second sectec in flag sb window
the better u get the crazier it becomes
so yes
Yeah ik this one
The one in between I skip sometimes bc I donāt want to delay blades in the future
like it has to be perfectly 45sec after cd window
otherwise its almost impossible to line up
Yeah so sometimes just skip
I have a strong hunch we will get nerfed next reset
Crazy good or crazy bad ?
I wanna switch between Sub and Ass. When crafting a dagger, what stats would y'all recommend?
mastery versa
until reset :/

ty
sin doesnt care about stats,u build vers/mast,can play both
Whispyr literally sent his craft without missive
sub got a nerf in pvp recently nah?
On reset its getting nerfed in pvp yes
Like nerfing burst damage by kind a lot but buffed on out of cds burst
out of cds burst does not exist
Assa players smh, whispyr no missives, zerocool intel dagger. Not gonna say more or else i ll get banhammered
yup
Well moreso because it just doesnt matter rather than it being a mistake 
ya
zerocool vibes
mw

lmao
great
has anyone done the underpin ?? difficulty, is that just straight up impossible
bran is dying to air
I'm probably not gonna give ?? a go until I'm like 650-660
and i cheesed ? , i just keep backpedalling, havent done a single mecanic of the fight

by then Brann should be 20 levels higher and hopefully less paper
you need brans potions to live but he dies to literally anything
bad news
we didnt pull adds on boss+ i was only wearing season 1 2 set
nice pump
now imagine that with warr + shaman buff
the boss is rly bad with downtime
whats ur gear looking like stealthi
sending crests in like 1 hour
holy shit
transmitter user
wtf
ur stacked out the wazoo
Are we not using vanish in the opener any more?
its just gone from the wowhead guide
I guess you could say it.. It vanished.
ugh
basically, doing it or nah is the same
by mechanics you mean using it as a step?
so he d rather keep things simpler
etc
well, as a step, as a dodge, as a cancel, as whatever it could be used
as a big cp generator
yeah
if u dont need to hold vanish for a mecanics, it s fine to keep the habit
also if im gonna be lazy and macro my trinket is it better to pair it to shadowblades as opposed to flag?
which trinket?
mythic transmitter
house of card = blades
transmitter = flag
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 
unless ofc you ll need vanish for a mecanic or w/e
any chance you could help me out? What am I messing up on the opener?
!fuu

!wa
tuning seems always to follow warcraftlogs statistics
which isn't that great of a metric
especially i you consider wcl removing certain damage from fights
god ur so hot
how do i regaiin energy on sublety ?
You shouldnt be having energy issues inside sd
currently doing campaign and not always use sd
shiiit
Yea, doing anything as rogue leveling sucks tbh
!design
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".
you better watch your mouth, or imma show up at your wedding being the one person protesting against your marriage (im taking you for myself)
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?
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
No joke just seems weird
What was the verdict?
It's just depending on the task and proccs I won't get it sometimes for my 2nd sectech
yeah thats exactly why im ''afraid''
they gonna see sub pumps ST so we are on the choppin' block
What poisons for m+?
its not like sub has many 
instant + atrophic or mind numbing
atrophic typically in higher keys and numbing in the usual ones
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
the sim iirc uses it with flagellaiton
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
!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.
am i supposed to be fitting in 2 dances + symbols in-between flag/sb?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yes
You go b2b dance and your 2nd symbols you just send in st to supercharge the 2nd sectech
yes, you want to use 2 dances back to back during flagellation
sorry i mean when flag/sb are on cooldown
you align your cooldowns around secret between the 90 secounds
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
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
!wa
guys do you craft dagger cuz of the ilv? or boots/cloak?
dagger
What ilvl dagger do we craft?
The best one you have access to (gilded ideally)
I thought we could do 675, but wasn't sure and hadn't found the answer lol. Thank you
something like this if u want focusing lens embellish
repair your dagger
Is there any way to fit Replicating shadows into your talents
what, i dont need to recraft one each time it s broken?
damn u gonna save me some crests
both wowhead builds have it
I see that wowhead uses Ephemeral bond instead of Execution
But is that just personal pref
Below to the right of Shadow Blades
Kinda like the healing on finisher, it s like leech. Since the healer i run with never target me š
and in case, for raid u just do that and you re a happy frog rogue
@random hare sent my crests, im still wearing 3 old tier items, Neck, Wrists and trinket
Don t welcome my paint skills, i know it s impressive
how much healing does that usually do? have been curious. 8% healing rec. inc. is strong
lemme check
over a +10 priory
10 darkflame
no tier set so no super empowered finisher
which impact it by a lot i guess
why is my circe in heals 
oh that s pala ring apparently, idk why but good
217mil from my driod
druid*
AG gone brother
WHAT
hell yeah
š¤
show equipped š
We will not be discussing my equipped iLevel today.
equipped is 5 levels lower for me atm, you?
Same 
Damn, big bag
u guys op
generally the increased healing is better in raid and the shield is better in m+
I keep getting slots I either can't use, or slots I don't want
but also u guys jealous
Damn, heart of the cards
Nimble doesnt proc it, but whenever you BP the shield is insane
Yeah they actually look pretty well balanced against each other
oh it procs on all the bp hits?
Yes
i would think it was proccing only on a single bp hit 
for some reason, i assumed blizzard did it this way
Not on nimble though, only the main evis
I didn't realize it did it on all the BP hits, that rules
Got an hc track mecha-core amplifier
Procced haste during cooldowns 
hey realz, can u make aoe blind work if used on one of the affix targets too? thanks and thanks for fixing the other bugs too, appreciate u, talk soon
Hey realz can u uncap and 50% aura buff outlaw at the same time? Than you for fixing the spec, love u, hope you ll come back one day 
asking for a bit much now
the part when i hope he ll come back? Yea that s a bit too much i know š
Rework KS for you guys not more important than uncap ?
how about a tap of the wrist nerf?
what is the backstab cast for after cd dump ?
KS must be deleted and trickster totally rework for outlaw, it s just pain of a concept in modern wow
that s for macabre stack, its does amplified most of the finishers in dance so that s a win
!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.
Me thinks trickster is fine - itās just ks which kills it ..no?
danse macabre stacks
Can I introduce you to a concept called: posion toggle. The real trouble gripping the modern rogue today. In this ted talk I will
i see thanks
i mean, trickster is still weird cause coup lock u for 1s gcd, meanwhile the specs works at 0.8s gcd. It feels bad
is the rupture normall worth as first finisher in aoe like this or better to use evis then vanish ?
I hope they will make you guys great again
Just press it again š¤
it is for a stack of DM
but yea, KS doesnt work in modern wow, and with current outlaw iteration which is apm apm apm, it kills the flow of the spec, as it also kills u
but enough pirate talking, this is hiding in a bush talking
KS should be a button that uncaps and buffs your AoE.
The "This is my final form" button
One last thing: wouldnāt it work to replace ks with bladerush ?
KS should be replaced with Gankplank ult from league, that s my thought 
yoyo, what embelish for dagger craft
Okay but only if they bring back cannon barrage
m+ only
Wait till Legion classic then youāll have it 
ascension?
not really, it doesnt generate cp/spend cp, which is the core thing of outlaw rn cuz of cdr and adr uptime. Also br does no damage (even tho it s uncapped)
play int trinket from cinderbrew, so you can e as well
is it worth telling my team to delay 2nd damage amp on last boss rookery for flag. or do we just send 2 dances into the 2nd and flag 1st and 3rd?
yo actual genius, lemme auto my barel
Reworked as a finisher like ks is ofc
either that or u can also send cd on pull, and hold for 2nd phase. In 10's with a guild group (which is kinda stack i admit) we 2 phase it
it would work gameplay wise i guess, should increase the range of it and delete the charge animation. Idk if it would feels great to press tho
I see
great idea honestly, then we can start complaining about tanks moving mobs out of it
as long as crackshot is a thing, and god it s so good that it exists it s just the best asmr ever made on the internet, idk if we would like to press another thing than bte / dispatch 
You kinda want Duskthread linings for m+
Not that embellishments matter either way
Theyāre all garbanzo
i remember we had a string before to sim all the consumables, is the relevant version somewhere around?
hey guys with CB, whats the reason you dont just macro it anymore and use it for second sec tech? 4 piece stacks?
!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.
So many good commands in this channel 
so it will be more of a decision depending on cds and flawless form rather than just always second sec tec
!guides
and u dont really press cb outside of CDs, unless you re sure it will be ready for next set of cds
i preshot that, it s a lot asked
When sims tell you to replace it

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
better Ironclaw Whetstone or Bubbling Wax for m+?
both is about the same
but whestone is more consistent and don't need to be farmed
so most people prefere it
think sub is gonna get nerfed? Im 641 equipped with low ilvl season 1 tier and im pumpin in m+
feels like its pretty strong
with no on use^
well if by strong you mean doing 200k less than others kinda
we are very strong vs tanks
but also VERY DECENT
at that ilvl bracket
more nerfs are not likely
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
don't see why sub would get nerfed
the nerf they did already felt weird
Im just feelycrafting, in M+ im outdpsing people 8+ ilvls ahead of me with 4piece
or keeping up with them at least
feels like nimble flurry is op
surely 
I want MORE crits
I think the best case scenario for us is that theres some nerfs to other classes
in m+ we do have more leeway but also it is very skill dependant
on where you use cds
!dance
I honestly dont think theyll change anything more about sub, but i could be wrong
Tuning wise this tier/race
ret needs their AoE dmg tuned down
that shit does UNETHICAL
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
amounts of dmg
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
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
Ye i havent really played with many good players besides fire mages so im not entirely sure whats poppin
And our scaling is actual ass
But sub definitely feels really solid if youre route is not awful
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
I've seen them do 4.1-4.2mil in cinderbrew its disguisting
Sub def feels a bit oof on bigger pulls. Or rather it feels like its way stronger when you can just nimble
Those people could just be⦠not great 
nothing like getting hit with toll for 5m then healing it all in 2 bps
Maybe im elitist, but I feel like a class that simple shouldn't be pumping that hard
yeh, thats ehm
well ret is also very tanky
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.
True
needs perma combat
its like the worst group i couldve done m+ with
yea i was talking with some people and it is going to be a very sad season
we are both upfront bursters
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
but he doesent want combat drop so we perma chain, and in some dungeons its fine
Thats why you have vanish 
if we can constant pull like 6-7 mobs
but in cinderbrew its garbage
started gearing my dh and its obscene fun, I feel guilty lol
Well I guess they are purple..
ret always had some rly strog parts/tuning ever since the rework
it is part of the expectation by now
And now they buffed bm, so even the ranged rets get to have fun
keep in mind that we by now have like 1/3rd of the melee dps on ret or so
so he is geared to the teeth
It feels so weird going from a few hrs on DH to a non double jumping class
oh yeah I spacebar and think my game is lagging lol
but he does not even have M weapon yet
like
aaay+
jeeeeeez
I swear that shit makes me want to go dracthyr 
ret has double the amount of players of the 2nd most palyed melee
he has 2x super rare items
subtlety in comparison
and have crazy utility with blessings
wep + ring
for real lul
Ooh havoc getting more popular now too?
dh is very good now ye
i am actually surprised how high rogue is
Wasnāt its representation low last tier
in terms of player count
havoc with new inertia trigger is actually quite fun
a lot more predictable which some might not like but it makes gameplay feel pretty smooth
Stupid question, but outside flag, how many Shadow Dance + Symbols of Death can / should you weave in? Or does it not matter as long as you have two ready for Flag?
!sd
depends if its AoE or single target
Probably helps that subtlety pumps with low ilvl
@tepid trellis ST
Scaling is so meh tho, if you droptimize on rogue compared to warri you get very sad
wdym hc is great
@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?
I hope the scaling issue becomes apparent before 11.0.5 hits
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 comes from muscle memory really
Don't you have to send 3x dance 4x sod on your 2nd cd usage, then back to 4x dance 4x sod
Or just 4 all the way
Classes dont really "scale" different nowadays, thats mostly a meme
@tepid trellisThanks for the help.
haha yes, turns out that buffing baseline makes us good early on ^^
Can they do it again
scaling in the traditional sense rarely matters
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
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 ttļ¼
pure stats are rather whatever
Thanks
isn't it barely behind heroic transmitter?
at 658 it is barely better than 619 transmitter
but guess what it is better than priory/skardyn
yea
have you seen the new raiderio m+ stats
it hits
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
But I imagine Mythic is just way stronger
i mean i did a lfr with my gf
and 3-4/5 classes in each group in lfr ended up being paladin
ya that spec has an absolute chokehold on the lowertier population
its easy, flashy and the mogs are dope cant blame them
Yeah, every heroic pug I was in today had 5 - 7 Paladins lmao
the paladin and priest cabal
I don't think I've seen another rogue in the raid since day 1 on normal
rogue is the usually least populare class
outside of probably evoker
but evoker is out of the comparison because its too new
And was also 1 per server for an entire? expansion
nobody touches aug anymore

and now that aug is in the dirt it'll be even lower
the fun thing about rogue is
we have occacionally new rogeus in our guild
but not one time was the new rogeu subtlety

TRUE
outlaw is kind of in a bit of a dire spot with lower chances of getting played currently
How do you open on Rik Reverb?
it could benefit of having a execute like warrior
evasion
you can evasion the ground bound on rick, easy cheese fight
Yeee
apperently tier set bug was fixed
outlaw's rlly fun rn ks trickster is fun if it doesnt kill you or make you nauseous
You mean I can evasion amplifier hit?
Yeah
idk, with KS you need to track more shit to use it properly
im not a fan of min maxing ks
i get that i find it satisfying sending a coup before a fat BTE window
did wow just bork for anyone else?
fine for me
whats good overall dps for 8-9s
are you meant to track CDG?
I am new and back to sub rogue and having difficulties ending 1.7M at mythic dungeon with item lvl 644 no set items. My question is do we have very different dps when we got set items ?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Anyone know of some good m+ sub players to watch?
casualaddict
i believe so its a gain to send coup before bte window for flawless stacks
and something like dont use vanish if ks is 30 seconds or fewer away (assuming no ar drop)
outlaw and sub bis trickster just fun
Woo managed to get gallywix down last night
Normal but still Iām an old fuck and I rarely get to do modern content
(Last raid I did when appropriate was black rock foundry mythic lmao )
Grats! Taking our first bash tonight š
Suggestion: have one person be in charge of the bomb and toss the rest
Itās easier for everyone on normal at least
does set items give us very different dps ?
Iām hoping to get a tier piece on Tuesday so I can upgrade my heroic piece into a four set
I mean, they obviously do. You can argue if that's "scaling" in the traditional sense or give it a different name.
!wa
But if classes perform almost on par before they get ilvls/new items and end up 10% apart from each other when in full BiS, what would you call that?
Is there any macros or anything that prevents you from doublepressing Symbols of Death
!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.
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
!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.
What makes you think they perform on par before they get ilvls
Havoc and warrior were higher before that too
Since i assume youre talking about sims
lol this pvp trink can be upgraded with crests š
what is the backstory for this macro? season 1 backstab in shadow dance rule?
should dance not be first in the macro ?
Why do people cast secret tech before shadow blades?
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
iirc the relative performance delta opened up quite clearly when comparing at baseline 639 and then again at 678
might be wrong though, I haven't simed for a while
Talking of sims: this at 658 seems to be simming on par with the two best passive M+ trinkets at 665
My brain just can't handle the thought of getting 4k haste š
Does it make sense to catalyst 2 piece if we got a tier piece out of raid? Or should we wait wednesday vault
there's no point of catalyzing this week, unless you're pushing mythic or smth
just play how you want. youll have a few months to push whatever you do
That's how I treat all of my stuff
how elemental focus embelish is working
and i am playing sub mostly for m+ which weapon embelish is good ?
I don't catalyst until doing so completes at least 4/4 hero track tier, andI don't use valorstones to upgrade unless I'm basically capped
i cant see it's damage on details
do you have a stat gem socketed?
i have 1 primery and others are versa-mast
oh so you have vers/mast gems
then it should proc ye
idk i cant see that on details as a damage
!up
no there is none
well
the embellishment def works, dunno what the issue could be
versa mast gem says earth sapphire
are u using current expansion gem?
y
whats it called?
that is a dragonflight gem
With the new 4set we want to use a naked SOD with secret to get the 4set buff longer at cooldowns right? At 1min mark ish

current mast/vers is "versatile onyx" and reverse is "masterful sapphire"
Dw bro I need to ask the name of the gems and enchant every single time
Donāt be ashamed these names not memorable at all 
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
for cyrces ring, is what the guide says for the 3 stones bis for ST and M+? ( stormbringers, fathomdwellers, and windsingers)
is shadow dance always used after symbols ?
but we will replace the ring once we have a higher item level
yes
or well
not always technically
because in the 90 secound window you will use the 2nd dance back to back
and symbols after the 2nd dance charge
oh so during the burst its insta dance back to back instead of waiting for symbols
Anyone have a WA to remind them to prep supercharger after a rez?
Cause I am forgetting until pull timer a lot
@kindred olive With the new 4set we want to use a naked SOD with secret to get the 4set buff longer at cooldowns right? At 1min mark ish or?
I dont think 4set impacts rotation or gameplay
so guys about this pvp trinket, do we use it on cd and have it for every 2nd flag/blade or we delay it?
Thought i read somewhere you send only sod+secret due to 4 set
yes, wrong fuu ^^
So you can extend it longer
does anyone play with something like
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Backstab
for the dance macabre? i always forget to use backstab
but you rarely want to use symbols blank
Ahh pkei thought i read it somewhere..
would the random stat ring be better than the top ring if it rolls high vers/low mastery?
anyone?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7fnX1VjNYRQ7kknRbDr65Q this cant be right, right?
1k less agility on use -90k st dmg
623 transmitter vs 655 pvp trink
Blades only unless itās up and you wonāt have another blades before boss dies.
tnx
Delay
sometimes ork racial not pops with my blades macro because of lag
Iām a bit sus about the ovp trinkets too, on paper a big agi buff should be really nice tied in with kingsbane for assass should be good but it sims way behind
did happens to you guys ?
just because i looked at your sim... you can upgrade your second ring "for free" - get the gems out of circlet, delete it, buy a new circlet put that on ringslot 2 and you can upgrade your ring to 658 for valorstones
It doesnāt work with assa properly afaik
In sims
Ok, thought I was going nuts
and didnt work to get free upgrade
wait... WHAT
oh, i did not unlucky i guess š
Iirc whispyr said it was only sending trinket with DM and not with KB on 1minutes inbetween DMs
ah didnt know that mb
Itās pretty easy to farm the conq so maybe Iāll grab it anyway
You sure about that?
from multiple guildies atleast
They fixed crafted daggers/rings but circlet trick was still working yesterday
worked for my entire guild yesterday
maybe its some NA/EU thing
This raid looks fun on sub
Weapon swap is definitely fixed
Weāre not talking about crafted ring
i know
