Stats scale differently with raw value
guys, whats the fastest way to farm those conquest points for the trinket? i literally never play PvP at all
Yeah how come on the screenshot the value is same but percentage not am I misunderstanding something
Because that's how stats in the game work
Raw value doesn't convert 1-1 for each stat
World of warcraft
10k crit, haste and vers are all different % values

#showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1]Backstab
Man in s1 I just stacked mastery
Well it's the same as last season
will this work like the macro from the bot command?
U just stack mastery and vers
My Sims last season told me to spam vers onyx's but now I use mast sapphires
At least for current mid gear
since dance has its duration as gcd it should work fine
Sounds pretty normal the stats are interchangeable
dance and subterfuge are stance:2, interesting
With like a 0.1% difference thats within the margin of error for the sims
It genuinely does not matter
Okay sub Kinda easy
Hi the race on the sub rogue is important or not pls ?
race arnt that much important in wow unless you do specific content where racials / 0.2% dps matters
since you re asking the question, i would assume you re not, so just pick for preference 
well a bit more than 0.2% currently, here have the sim of races, on the bis profile
racials do matter if you play one that sucks
but the upper ones are close
like undead and earthen are natty -2% dps
oh it seems it is only 1,6 there at least not as bad
!wa
crazy to see undead rogue being so bad 😔
it s kinda the essence of OG roleplayer rogues
ok thanks
What does vanish do in the opener
I see it used in a ton of logs
Is it just to cover the 1-2 presses before flang?
gives you premeditation

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cQfe6oPkKwbXyWcr2G7a9f @hazy breach why does my sim do 1min straight of ruptures ?
i tought it wasnt worth to hold the stacks for your cds
New to sub and heard sub likes the shaman buff, what exactly does it do for us?
Give combo points
lmao 4.2bil dps
ego energy in outlaw channel happened
but yea the rupture thing is questionnable
but also what did u change zac, cant be just evis scaling
Did you change the logic to rupture only at flag cd <35 or something?
hm
ignore the number thats irreelvant
No i'm looking at the timing of when it switches from evisc to rupture
2nd flag is up at 2:03 and it starts rupturing at 1:22
so almost 40sec of pure rupturing
oh a non rigged sim i dont have that, i just have these 2 but why not
well its a sample
u werent even at 8 stacks where it could have acted weird
p sure the old-old 4pc logic was to start rupturing at 40
yea definitly looks like it
I have no idea why its doing more than like 10 seconds of rupture
And delaying flag by like 30 seconds
You've also somehow enabled a crazy uptime on supercharger
wtf
professions smh
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
it decide to vaal itself
the more you look the weirder it gets
i asked him
supercharger 7
in theory he did not touch apl
lmfao
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oQDnhH6dZ1UchoQgfeLwe2 here i won 200k by changing my header custom the same as him

if all finishers were charged
Well he was doing billions, not millions
1300 ivl might make things weird
i m digging but i m just washed up at digging sims
yea idk
how could that have change the apl tho
somehow able to bs-finish constantly
Having Supercharge as a Constant Buff might affect things lol
yea idk i ve digged it s too hidden for me to figure out what happened, gg zac u won
back to spamming rupture to get this billions dps
don't forget your /startattack in the backstab macro
is that mugzee trinket any good for sub?
The thug shaker hotline is p decent
nice, i am simming it rn. got azerrok on 662, eye of kezan on 658 and now this thug shaker on 658. still 400/500 in que in sims, lets see what it says ^^
all passive trinkets are whatever really
amorphous relic had promise for M+ but people found out the 1 min timer does not reset on leaving combat
so DoA
sadly drink and amplifier are only delve
so they cap at hero track
azerok might be bad because it s a random proc right? If it procs outside cds it s gg. Kezan will probably be better in mythic prog, the ramping part and stuff. I heard thug did good so i wouldnt be suprised it it was your top sim. That s my assumption feelcrafted, let s see what the sim says

kezan looks not so bad in keys either rn
surpisingly
it says azerrok is best, eye of kezan -1000 dps aroundish and thug 40k less 😄
just you will rage when it procs just after you dance
40k less? 
azerok is myth track
tbh it is a good trink
when it procs on cds you will feel it
isnt azerok a mastery stat trinket tho? Shouldnt be a raelly big difference even if it s mythic 🤔
its not mythic its hero track but 662
but that s feelcrafting, what do i do when i can just ask raidbot
ah then yea it is good anyway
kezan is better on longer fights but tbh there are none this tier
unless you do later M bosses
which one would u use in m+? most sub rogues it seems use that crit trinket
idk the name
ye thats not what I expected ^^
wait. sorry. I did a mistake idk why the fk it simmed dungeon slice. Now I did Patchwerk and Eye of Kezan 558 ilv is 5.570 dps better than my 662 azerrok and thug hotline 658 is only 3577 dps worse than 662 azerrok. sorry
hello, i'm watching for cast sequences of better rogues to understand why do i suck at sub and i have issues to understand this kind of set up i see frequently, is backstab queued just before sending shadow dance ? and what is this for i cant firgure out the point
that s a frequent question
u can dance backstab to generate one more dance macabre stack
but u dont sod because it would rotten the backstab, and u rather having it on strike
hacha always here to carry

Any good videos on rotatio
yes sir, i'd recommand hacha / eleem 
And stealthi if u want in raid fights
that would be my recommandation
okok thx
well it is complicated but not hard
you need to do things in the right order and keep doing them
Yeah after opener I just line up SD and symbols
Timing your dance+symbols is complicated
Sec tech and build to evis
When dance runs out and I have 1 charge but symbols has 4 seconds left
Do I wait to refresh
You do not symbols unless sectech has less than 10 seconds cd left
Because then you would be wasting supercharger on non-sectech finishers
how does supercharger work
it makes the finisher act as if it had 3 extra combo points onto it
after using SoD
has 2 charges when used
I think I’m missing a bunch of nuances
And hence why I think ez
so you don’t need to build all the way with it then?
how long does a target need to live for rupture to be worth casting over evisc?
as i always say, to me sub isnt hard to play, the hard stuff is to understand why we do what we do and how stuff synergise together. Most question in here are like "is sub even doign shadow damage outside of blades" and stuff like that
you can always sim depends on the people i crafted head for example because i got the pvp neck
as for conquest i just did epic bgs but someone said there are crate farming groups
every 15 mis a crate drops that gives some conq
So it’s a series of mental choices?
of knowing what to do when is the skill cap
?
hacha, about the disorienting strike, do i have to sectech inside the dungeon or i can use it outside and i ll keep the buff when entering the dungeon?

anywhere
i do it sometimes on the dornogal dummies
or just on a random mob after using the dungeon portal
just cheapshot sec tech
for bgs daily
arenas i dont remember
ty
which trinkets for m+ ?
i got the Pacemaker, Honey Buzzer and the Sigil of Algari ... When i sim it on Dungeon Slice they are nearly the same .. But on wowhead the Sigil of Algari should be trash 😄
well none of those are excepional
ideally you use a trinket like transmitter house of cards or the pvp trinket
then another passive one like pacemaker
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2LRwkde5EcDURuwm8USy97
Can someone please explain how this is downgrade?
Arent they the same trinket? both give me mastery on a 2 min cd ?
well there is a fix on #tc-research and maybe they have pushed to latest or try nightly
!wa
time to do some pvp 🙂
damn 4 pc is a big dmg inc huh
going into your middle of fight burst, do we wait for full stacks from flag before sending every thing... i know conditions with rupture apply and timings, just wondering how much a different in dmg it is if you just send all together or let flag tick first
no you dont stack flag before hand
it just happens as you go
doesent take alot to stack it
got you thanks
yea i still dont fully understand every thing but a good enough idea to be pumping decent, hype for next lockout to see how much i improved
do we still have the extra raid buff or did they fix that?
also what change made it so it is worth playing around danse macabre now?
seems kinda random that it's a gain now compared to last patch
it got added after they took away shadowdust iirc
wait so we did have it last patch
i guess just more bursty so the 6% is better?
weird
also, it is WILD to me that it's not a gain to play around your 4set
it was before they nerfed it to hell
like there ain't no way I'm sending an evis 15s before flag
even if it's a "loss"
I don't believe it
on "avg" it doesent matter
like an unbuffed evis is like 1mil
there's no way the extra stacks don't add up to 1mil
well it is a risk you take
Again, most of the time you dont lose them
calculated lets say
i don't have 4set yet, but sometimes I'm staring at my stacks at 8 right before my flag and I'm like do I REALLY want to risk this?
well thats comparing it to 0 stacks
which dont happen
you will get stacks during it
If blades is ~20s from coming up we hold coup proc still yeah? And just bp
don't think so. just full send it
yeh around 20 sec
wait we're BPing ST?
its for flag tho
actually?
Not really no
so it's a gain to hold coup for flag and BP instead if flag is coming up?
but not enouigh to put in the guides
it is not a huge win either but it is something you can do
mostly neutral
It is in the guide, but its very minor optimization
its like the same as backstab in dance
0.2% a bit weaker iirc
i mean, I'll take it.
or 0.3 i dont remember but it does not happen that often
i yearn for the small optimizations
its in the wowhead guide
double coup bursts feel nice tho
havent done a side by side apl thingy for a while maybe with more gear now and tier set things are a bit more than 0.3
!fuu

Does Slice and Dice dropping actually happen at all? or can I just not track it
You can just skip tracking it ye
is there a need to track the two empowered CP at all?
not if you have mental note of when you pressed SoD compared to when you pressing sectech
Not really, besides the small opt of making sure you have 2 of them up prepull
yeah i have another WA to remind me to get them after a death so they're up pre-pull
used to have to do stuff like that for WW so its an easy adaptation

on pull then at 3 mins etc
do we spread find weakness in aoe?
because with opener we never shuriken storm, except after CDs?
also, do we spread rupture?
spread ruptures while gathering or after cds
and do we finish on 5cp? or only 6+?
spread fw on 7 targets with 1 storm after sod
even during SD?
6+

Can I increase the volume of the shadow craft refund sound trigger?
i have my refund sound set to dreamybull bussing
i change dit to the sword schwing so its hella loud lol
Mines the cash register cha Ching from Here Comes the Money
are there any sub rogue m+ video guides that are relevant to the current patch?
the full guide works for m+ but i also uploaded some runs no commentary tho
Not for an individual instance of a sound effect, no. The best you can do is adjust the channel.
Sounds in game are played on one of ~5 audio channels. In a WeakAura you can select the audio channel the sound plays on in the sound condition.
In your game settings you can adjust the relative volume of each of the channels.
Thank you
What’s the reason for that?
to apply find weakness for black powder
Oh ur asking finisher logic
Uh, just because its more damage
Does feint also reduce healing absorbs
wdym i love farting purple on people

Liquid takes the W
So did liquid
@naive zodiac gz
that's actually insane
they took less pulls on gally than stix and mugzee
devs messed up big time

insane play on the kill
Yeah that was wild
on huge pulls (like whole first room in workshop or cindrewbrew) i cant seem to get huge overall on sub and idk if im doing anything wrong or if that is just the shortcomings of the spec?
yes sub is not doing insane big pull dam
pretty mid
wtf is that boss
sark/xavius lol
i didn't do Sark but that was significantly easier, no?
that is some crazy undertuned endboss
i doubt it
to put this into perspective their mage sini came in for 3 pulls
and killed this
About the same
I think sark took most ppl like 80-120
they went from 25% to 0 in 5 pulls
insane
gally being easier, not sark is what i meant
actually tho

It’s pretty
grats exile
now imagine this boss with the raid buff 
u rock bro, just wanna say it, even if it s undertune and it looks terrible to have a raid clean that fast, u did the win

my RWL guild is gonna get farm weeks lets gooooo
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I am so sad i don't want to play
that s good
you can play healer rogue with intellect
F for you brother, you re not the first, not the last
unlucky
???? didn't know you joined liquid
people posting int dagger crafts are what made me so paranoid
our boi doing decent dmg at least
Glad I got dagger from the first vault EZ
Yea I literally logged back in to check my dagger lol
Guys, the prized gladiators badge. is it worth grinding if i have neither transmitter nor house of cards?
Can you seriously not post a ticket and get some GM support for this? This is legitimately the shit that would make someone unsub and quit for the season
You’re just permanently behind 20 weapon iLvLs in your main hand unless you get a myth track dagger this week
Gms arent there to protect you from yourself
In vault or raid somehow
the ingame UI helps with it plenty
Nah the game is literally built with fail safes because they know people make mistakes. That’s why you can recover deleted items directly on the website. Wake up lil guy lmao
yeah thats why you see a preview of what youre sending the crafting order out
and why you have to confirm when you buy stuff with currency from vendors
and that stuff doesnt get refunded
I’m tryna help that guy out
crafting system has been in the game for over 2 years, you dont get refunds on it
W @naive zodiac (sorry for Ping im just Turbo hyped) deserved king

Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
best craft to spend 2nd spark?
necklace probs
every other slot you can technically get with vers mastery
pvp for neck is gonna be better for now
Crafting a nerf for long term is a good idea tho
what is a nerf bro?
why are you here?? arent you supposed to be an outlaw?

crafting a neck*
Neck is a good craft by endgame cuz theres really no alternative this tier
But just getting a pvp neck and crafting smthing like bracers/cape is a good idea
i dont do pvp :/
Its 525 conquest for a very long term upgrade which takes like
Less than 10 2s wins
U can do like, 3 sets of daily wins in EBGs, BGs and the brawl and be done with it
but if u just dont even wanan do that then yeah probs craft a neck
is there enough time to send cold blood between flag windows
or you just always hold for 2nd sectec
!up
they wont refund
xisevi crafted an agi polearm and gms didnt help
so i highly doubt they're gonna help this guy unfortunately
ya theres enough time, or ya you hold
it doesn't seem to line up with sectech everytime so is it still worth to send on an evis or nah
Probs literally but u can also just probs ignore it
Ive been just delaying that dance/sod slightly to lineup with cold blood as it comes up
Damn this season is weird one
i was given a "kick rogue" in 12 priory
insert piratesoftware "what am i supposed to do"
guyz how the flawless form is stucking on us? and also do we have to track and combine also try to match set bonus and flawless form as well as coup de grace? how is the playstyle between these keys?
shoutout fuu/whispyr btw for helping me with rogue sims mid race 🐐

ty 
how good is signet of the priory for sub rogue? i see its not listed under best trinkets but skardyns grace from last season is simming better than most trinkets on that list and its 30 ilvl down and basically the same as signet of the prioryh
which one is that?
Hello. Very general question perhaps…. But looking into rogue. While I like the class, it also seems quite involved to actually play it well. So in that sense is subtlety difficult to pick up ? Or would perhaps assassination or outlaw better? Mainly looking for keys
Ok thank you for the info!
god dam +57k on sim
u the man
good looks on the info
do you swap to shuriken storm>bp over shadowstrike in dance on 7+ mobs otherwise its shadowstrike >evis?
During dance you use storm once for find weakness with the rotten, then always strike
bp takes over evis but you still strike
Hi, after reading the guide im a little confused about when to use secret technique during shadowdance. Is best as first or second finisher?
Wait can it never drop below 12 then?
yes exactly
and then once i've timed all 13s it'll never deplete below 13
and so on and so forth
That’s pretty sick
not sure why they locked it behind IO that's unobtainable for the majority of players
what happens if you lower it to 10 then brick it you think
does it prevent it from bricking at all at 12 or lower
i think it'll just stay at 10
not exactly sure, don't really want to test it right now haha
maybe before reset
i'll see what happens
but this system basically makes a lot less homework situations for push teams
and this is a godsend for pugging
Oh it’s first at that key level it unlocks?
you have to time all 12s to unlock it
First finisher
yea pugging its real good but I feel like in my experience in a group we very rarely bricked below a level where we already had all keys timed
the last 12 i timed was a cinderbrew, and then an npc at the chest gave me a quest
interesting to see if it will matter much
ya for sure
how come we use strike over storm once find weakness has been applied on 7+?
the warriors out there braving it on their own
it'll matter more for people who push solo
because when you run your own key with lfg it gets inted all the time
Anyone know if it's best to send PvP trinket on shadow dance usage or always sync it with blades?
Set it to blades
The important thing is to hit both sectecs in the shadow blades window with the trinket up
ye I guess that's true
Hello, is sub rogue will stay better than assa in high keys level ?
Wait until tuning
how much haste do you guys have?
Hopefully negative
Have 2% and dunno if that is ok or overkill 😄
If you don't have 0 haste you might as well play sin 
Jk, tier set gives you haste so it's impossible to go to 0
670 from the set head, 760 from the circle
I got the 5.3k haste neck from one of the bosses
so probably more than i should
Thinking of crafting a vers mastery one
Do you have hoc?
neck craft is goated honestly
kina slept on considering we dont really have a good neck
dagger neck atm i think is best
because other slots are a lot easier to fill with good items
cleft neck was simming as big downgrade for me, i guess you need more ver/mast from other pieces for that to become bis, and even then its a vault item bis so gl with that
What is the best order of "opener" mid fight? When all CDs are ready, should I use same opener as in guides (but don´t use rupture after flag if there is still time remaining)
!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.
Yeah I was thinking this, it’s likely house of cards changes things as it gives mastery instead of agi during your cds
My 658 crit vers neck is worse than 639 from last tier
We’ve seen 1 across all difficulties so far and I’m low down on the list
every possible upgrade i have in raid
is bigger on someone
sub scaling with gear is trash
Yeah that’s been the case for years
we cleared full hc norm twice and mythic first twice i have 0 raid items equiped
I got 2 heroic tier pieces and mythic shoulders to catalyse
unorinically if i dont get hoc from vault im psure im getting my hoc when the dinar comes out
and by then sin will probably get buffed and we will play sin with signet for prog xd
I know talking about scaling is a bit of a meme but it does happen every tier
They could buff our mastery and give an aura nerf to compensate
Just be like me and tell your guild you can’t farm another trinket in keys while all other contenders can

!up
thats not true
plenty of other classes cant use 2 min either
monk dk for sure need hoc and cant use signet, and iirc some casters too
ye, cloak and boots have decent options
stats also more important on neck
The loot itemisation this tier does seem a little kaka
how long does it take to farm the pvp trinket?
its -2k for me but no -QOL of transmitter
not that long. I farmed neck + an extra piece + two sockets for the neck in half a day just spamming BGs. Got the conquest from the ashran and thousand winter quests you get in the BG and the daily win bonus. Was done in a half-day
if it's just the trinket might be faster to queue arenas, if you have some PvP xp. Otherwise I would just vibe around in BGs
i hate pvp and have no exp so no arenas
but i hate trashmitter more than pvp possibly
!wa
Btw did imexile make it to "details" on gallawix kill?
Did not have time to watch any pulls as it dies so fast
10th overall ish. Don’t recall exact place
Damn
I though gallwix would be perfect for us
Rogue really struggle on hard bosses this seaspn
Heroic raid blasters tho 
Dw rogue will be fine after upcoming sin buffs
u guys think sin will pull ahead again?
i think its a pretty good rogue boss, the problem is just its an even better mage and ww boss lmao
guys if i focus more on m+, is it still better to run lense embelishment still?
It’s more ST dmg in m+ which is more than fine. The difference overall isn’t worth worrying about.
i feel like sin will pull ahead on some bosses for sure
too much movement going on to perfect the rotation on some fights in this raid
Tuning wise rogue is behind. It has been since ptr. Being 400k plus behind in sims is relevant when your burst dmg isn’t as impactful as it has been in the past.
Nothing new. Shine in heroic week. Mid in mythic.
wait for tuning.
We ain't getting buffed lil pup
blizzard for whatever reason
wants the most simple spec to be the best
assasination
Guess what we don’t have a dk and monk isn’t performing 
We do have a dk but
You’d rather give it to rogue atm probably
Even if his increase is bigger
Not very hot at the minute
The tuning was more moving dmg out of burst. Rogue Sims from ptr were all lower than other classes. Assa got brought up to the other two specs. The class is tuned low, if sub gets adjusted again who knows.
You can tell by the chatter in here many of the fotm chasers moved back to one of the others.
why does it always feel like rogue is nerfed too early and then just stays undertuned
they seem to always forget we dont benefit as much from gear as others
blizz in recent years has not cared very much about sub as a spec

i'm starting to see myself get gapped in content now
the gameplay is basically the same as the last time i played which was bfa first raid tier
with some more cds
etc
which I dont mind I love sub
I brought up the concerns of the gap. “We’re fine” was the response. 
but it would be sad to see assas pull through as the better spec again
when its so simple
yeah i remember, i had a feeling this would happen too
sub is not exactly down bad right now, it's just not that great
tbh its fine
i think the fights are just really hard to play sub correctly on
and assasin pulls ahead in high keys m+
i was thinking about trying out sin in keys tbh
sub is really good at some things in M+, but when there's big aoe dam that's required we're not doing so hot
places like cinderbrew
where you want big aoe dam the entire key pretty much
i dont think simplicity is its problem
theres simple specs that are still kinda fun
It’s fun. It’s dmg in these fights isn’t exactly good. Where our burst would be useful it doesn’t necessarily seem to be the case.
Went in blind on H mugs. Assigned to prisons. Timings just feel bad. Tested assa twice and stuff lined up better.
sin is just boring af
cindebrew first pull feels so bad when u have a warlock doing 2x ur dmg
the main issue once again is sub isn't doing enough damage in cds (in aoe most) to warrant the downtime
yup
sub can do on par aoe burst with other specs
Yeah we get gapped when the pack lives long
but then the huge problem is you go into downtime and you're doing less than tank damage
you also really want a shaman
so in reality they should not have nerfed sub's 4 set and sectec dmg
Yeah they should have kept the tier set as is but given the aura buff (coping hard here i know)
they would have after heroic clears
we could maybe see sub buffs who knows, but i doubt it
nah they are gonna buff sin instead
CT & BP buffs for everyone
they’ll buff Assa & Sub DS. At that point I rather play Assa.
BP buff would be kinda nice tbh right now switching to BP does not feel very satisfiying
honestly they should just uncap outlaw
looks like outlaw is very ahead in mythic
sin is ahead of sub
sub is actually the worst performing rogue raid spec atm looks like
true it's very hard to say, we don't ahve much data
but besides stix honestly tier doesnt look bad for outlaw
need more data tho but maybe i get to prog on outlaw finally?

Man, this season owns for M+
I'm almost 2.5k, half my portals done in week 2 of the season
All the outlaw enjoyers outing themselves this morning. 
my blue name is only because is what i picked by accident when i joined RH
always been outlaw main
never could play outlaw seriously
the story of outlaw mains
oh, not same then
so ive only been playing the spec i want during farm, and always with shit gear ofc
pretty much i get the cantrip mainhander 1-2 weeks before new season launches every time
nerf outlaw
give sub the gun
give me the gun, i cant take it anymore seeing this class balancing
outlaw isnt a problem
sin is
they keep propping up sin and forget the other 2 perma
Sub Temu fire mages.
nerf outlaw
!wa
You’re fighting the wrong fight in this channel. Any actual sub mains want nothing to do with that abomination of a rogue spec.
If people enjoy it, great. We are not them. 
sub is close second to outlaw for me, just not sin, sin is the abomination
being benched is more fun than playing sin
id rather play assa for 6 months straight than 10min as outlaw
so what are the chances blizz makes next tier's end boss turbo nuclear difficulty
to make up for this race
what about outlaw you dont like
Final tier, too. So probably a solid 90%
If there’s a holiday in the middle of it 100%
i guess the speed of it, since you like sin more and they are kinda polar opposites
Getting summoned to the horde entrance of ML is a very "uuuuuh... oh no"
the portal goes there too for some reason
ironically i kinda enjoyed sin before DF rework
goes to alliance for me
Its a rogue spec that feels nothing like rogue or plays nothing like rogue, energy class being global locked is not it
rework made is so much worse somehow
ironically outlaw is the spec that most people who don't main rogue seem to like the most
it's the spec everyone's always asking me about
outlaw is the rogue spec that plays the most like other classes
that makes it appealing to newcomer
idk i dont have a set idea of what rogue supposed to feel like
what do you craft with second spark?
hi guys 🙂
could someone review my logs why my ilvl parses are so bad?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2j16cwKmTkBy7RQP?fight=67&type=damage-done&source=1
i try to learn sub but i cant perform good on that spec
they changed the game so much no class is what it used to be back in the day
ive played rogue for too long to ever like what outlaw is
me too dude
i think wod sub is a pretty classic example of perfect rogue design
or close to perfect
a lot of people gravitate to that
i recommend practicing the burst rotation at the dummy
i liked beginning SL sub
you guys must have hated pre rework sub in abberus then because it legit was gcd locked
u lost premeditation buff with ur openers
yeah idk thats so long ago
no class plays like it did back then
they have classic for that type of playstyle
that was not a classic type rotation
i agree
the foundation we have is pretty good i think
and that's where you did all your damage
its a shame we have to deal with so many bugs all the time and most talents being unplayable
i'm now wishing they would fix rotten
Which bug? The one where storm consumes both stacks?
yeah that one
Idk if I’d rather see them return dance to fixed cd or slightly increase the cdr from deepening
bro i love outlaw but even for me cdr on sub doesnt fit
Would probably help people get into the spec
maybe keep it on sectec so it doesnt have charges but dance 30 or 45 sec cd would be great
If they go back to fixed cd I think reworking flag/blades/cb would help
Apart of not being able to execute flag burst, that's probably the biggest reason for low dps on sub
45 sec dance cd might be nice
yeah nice small burst between big bursts
Have blades grant dance for duration
I see so many fumbled flag bursts in the log reviews, I refuse to accept that people have actually read the guides
feels like dance should be fixed cd and keep sectec the same
ofc theres a risk of spec becoming too static like sin
What do we craft after weapon?
you're just being inted by not being able to maintain uptime with dance cdr
Yeah
id be strongly opposed a fixed dance cd
Agreed
cause managing your resources is the fun part
since energy has been made obsolete as something that needs to be managed
i dread the day sub plays like assa pressing every button at the same time every pull
Just make sectec static and reset with dancd
Only within burst windows
not sure that a spell you can't send on cd needs to work off cdr
Outside you aren’t gcd locked
last tier you could squeeze in extra sec tecs if you knew what you were doing
it was great
After you've learned when to send dances you're kind of playing almost a set cd rotation anyways, no?
but dance nah
yes, its mostly static
however cdr allowed for some moments of improvisation which i found very enjoyable
pretty much yes
Yeah true
But I think that comes also from having stacks
usually a spell working off cdr is "if i play well i get more casts of this spell"
which is cool
both do
I kinda disagree
Cdr mostly punishes you
If you get mechanics
There's no real reward
Besides mega storming on adds
CDR is punishment for losing uptime.
Stacks gives you choice. Players generally enjoy having charges on a cd. Many of the specs have had this added over time.
yeah cdr can be punishing i agree
i think cdr for sub is important cause otherwise you could literally afk outside of cds and it wouldnt matter
i think the difference is for other specs it's more like "it took me longer to get the spell off cd to fire again"
but for sub it's "i can't cdr fast enough and now my entire rotation is borked"
trying to fit cds on silken depending on uptime was fun
Sarcasm
oh 😔
red side sub was misery trying to get CDR back
I mean only issue with cb is it’s not a very cool spell
Besides that
Don’t mind secret tech

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Surely we get a rework for 11.1.5 on May 20th. 
I mean to be honest sub plays really good rn, I’m having a blast
If it happens before 13.0 I’ll be amazed
it’s fun until you remove trickster
Yeah
Yep
which is a problem
I wouldn’t mind DS if it wasn’t bugged honestly
The moment we have to switch to ds everything falls apart
After playing so much trickster I don’t think I could enjoy deathstalker, even with bug fixes
The gameplay of trickster is what I want sub to be baseline
Or something close
guys, can somebody give me TLDR when do I actually use black powder and shuriken? I understand shuriken 3+ targets when outside of shadow dance, but do we use any of those spells in shadowdance at all?
trickster just feels good
only use shuriken to apply weakness to multiple targets, after that use shadowstrike. black powder you use on 7+ targets as finisher
100%, ds just feels so slow in cooldowns by comparison
!wa
anyone have a macro that uses shadowstrike or backstab depending on if im in stealth or not?
I love MOtherlode. Best dungeon. Funniest dungeon.
Storm once as second builder in dance once at 7+ targets, and use black powder as finisher at same target threshold
The game does this for you
It auto changes to the correct spell based on stance. But I’ve seen this floating around..
#showtooltip Shadowstrike
/cast [bonusbar:1] Shadowstrike; Backstab
I hit 2.5k. Good season. 10/10. Now I can go outside for a bit.
I need to run keys still. This week been a mess outside of wow so rip playing outside of raid
Sub is extremely fun to play in keys this season. I think it's the best it's felt?
oh wow, gallywix rly fits the stereotype of his personality
part of me thinks there’s some underlining political joke with gally falling over so easily and the current president of the states. Could just be my own head cannon. 
Would've been funny if the joke was he had an over-engineered mega-death machine and it just collapses under it's own weight on mythic
As he keeps adding more bits to it
I was thinking the same thing… there have been several instances where my mind immediately went political.
There was a quest in this campaign where you had to disrupt some of the goblins, and talking to them - they wanted a debate and would get mad if you ignored them.
lmao those ones are hilariously on the nose. Some good writing
If you walk away from them they go "Wait, you are meant to debate me!"
for the lulz. using sub gear and 658 thumb
Realistically, it seemed like something was wrong with the encounter
blizz did tune a lot of background spells it seemed over the last days but neither rly does anything
makes it seem like the encounter should have had a phase or mechanics triggering that just never did
everyone was expecting something crazy to happen like the platform breaking away
but nothing happened
It felt a bit anticlimatic, last boss just falling over with the many bugs both rwf teams had to deal with to kill other bosses
but could be just my personal position on it
my guild experienced this before getting HoF with jailer
How wild would it be if the encounter was bugged/broken for liquid and the secret phase/mechanic occurs for everyone else?
The conspiracy theories would FLOW
after they nerfed the boss we just speed ran P3 in a few pulls and killed it
I think they played extremely well. Maybe community set itself up with the secret phase copium
and nobody felt good about the kill lol
echo already has the boss on 6% after 40 pulls
so don't think we will see anything happen
not surprising after they could just watch liquid strat
just is now about echo not tilting and it will fall soon
it's just more so the boss is way too easy for an end boss
for them
As you stack 5 monks and 4 mages. 
This is so true.
The amount of hype around it didn’t really align with this result lol
incredibly disgusting
mugzee also seemed
mugzee at least was somewhat hard
I’m more disappointed that sub’s burst isn’t really a need in the tier
the raid is fun
i did not watch much of the mugzee pulls, so can't say how much the pull count got inflated by bugs
A bit
It was pretty rough.
Liquid had at least 30 wipes to the bomb bug
it was harder for my guild to prog mugzee than gally
we killed heroic gally tonight in half a night of prog
nuts
We got mugz to 15 million health. At that point I wish I had swapped to assa.
should be 4 times the pull count
Idk should it
Maybe blizzards intent was for the raid to be easier, since people were talking about how nerubar was too hard
this would be true if the raid was not tuned around the rwf
but if it wasn't we would have each boss fall in less than 50 pulls
could be for sure
I still don’t understand your point fuu
the point is
if blizz wants bosses in general to be easier so people would not get stuck
other fights in the raid would be easier too
not just the last boss
if they didn't tune the bosses for the rwf and instead tuned them for the masses from the start, the rwf would kill them all in ~50 pulls etc
at least thats what i understood
i dont mind that at all tbh
this whole situation is good for the kind of guild i'm in
where we know we're not going to be in eternal suffering
There are two sticking points and one slightly undertuned boss (or are the stacked specs overtuned making the optics worse). Idk. Combo of both.
For my CE guild the optics are we have a carrot we can actually get without insane nerfs in 2 months.
For those that care, the race to HoF maybe a bit more interesting now.
The stacking buffs make raid little bit joke later on so every guild can get their CE if they wanted in the end
With laid back approach
Class stacking got quite out of hand imo
Maybe they at least noticed how op ww and mage are
Poor dk
Who here said rogue was fine yesterday?
Wasn't even in
Everyone keep coping that rogue is fine
I was told I made shit up by.. a certain person yesterday for saying rogue's dogshit lmao
You guys do be funny
We weren't fine at ptr either
Saying rogue is the worst class in the game right now is PEAK class discord
Is that a case of rogues being bad or others being overtuned/better profile for the fight
is this the dk discord?
Second worst
If we take i considerion hard bosswa
Also posting boss damagew when he is sending dances on adds 
Wee wooo
I'm just having fun memeing guy 😦

Fuu do you still have the Homer Simpson gif of sappucino saying sub is doomed
I agree yeah, nerf every other class
Wdym every
But kush playing DH all ptr a doing emergency 10 dhs before season maybe was tell
Other than dk
Cringe take imo
How often do rwf players only prep one class
@paper rock hows things btw
depends on the player i think
Right, unless they’re a diff-level one trick you’re gonna have more than one class jic
To me it looked like kush had about a 50/50 split between rogue and dh
lorgok used to be that one trick guy
They need another WW rather tho 😄
If they nerf ww one of ours is gonna have a meltdown
They should let wws lives their dream for once
Do they always do class adjustment immediately after last boss kill?
Whys that? Enhance shaman did this for a long time last season
I think they will leave it be
I think they tried to nerf enh they just fucked up
Yeah they just swapped to tot3ms
Tote it and pass it
would be surprised not to see adjustments in the coming reset
Doesn't seem required though
Not everyone. But I’m just a doomer. 💀
Echo wasn't using
Nah rogue isn’t amazing
It’s not shit
I actually think this is closest they got to balancing in a while
But you can’t sit here and say it’s good either
What

It’s mid at best in mythic.
Oh I was referring to Windwalker
I'm a fan of boosting the weaker ones over nerfing the stronger ones
Some people here equate fine = the best
Windwalker is also insane
Rogue is definitely fine
Yeah no rogue is fine
I'm looking at the meters from every kill
Its not good tho
Looks like there is representation throughout the raid
Rogue is crazy mid
Idk whats your definition of good
