read above a bit has been like 5 diff people and we always tell why
just sim treats it like an on use
did get fixed in latest i was told tho
Is shiv worth having as a talent??
it is if you need an enrage dispell
That’s what I was thinking
just timed a 13 workshop and it says my IO went up 18 points
but my IO was 3040 before and is now 3049
i'm confused
yes
WAIT they reduced the timer on darkflame by 2 mins
and it changed my timed 13 to depeleted
i hate this game
ok no i was actually right, my score was fucky because they retroactively changed darkflame keys
guys i used transmitter on gallywix and the orb yeeted itself into the big hole in the middle


you better get yourself a HoC
i have heroic HoC on my rogue
norm HoC on my warr
it's just that easy

Kinda hard when none of them are dropping bud
my raid team has gotten at least 1 to drop on every single norm/heroic bandit kill
kinda nutty
Ye weve gotten 2 across 6 splits
rough
never seen it
I see all the top sub rogues running treacherous transmitter from last tier what's up with that
HoC doesnt exist
i took mine from vault because i'm not even eligible to roll on it
they haven't gotten HoC yet
sub is near the bottom of the queue for it
And it's an excellent on-use with a 90sec CD
639 myth track
if you're running 626 transmitter a base hero HoC should be a dps increase
But transmitter is like bis trinket behind cards?
the main thing about running HoC is you can macro it to blades and forget about it
Easiest way to get it is doing last tiers raid then? Or
Would recommend jusdt getting the pvp trinket
Its roughly as good as a 626 transmitter
And you cant get a 639 transmitter anymore
Because you cant upgrade s1 gear anymore
What's the name of the pvp trinket?
Per the pin
Correct
or does it add it to the duration?
Correct, you cannot dance while dance is up
gotcha

can someone show me their stat breakdown for sub, trying to see how much I need to replace coming from sin
just trying to replace some crit with vers and i guess im fine?
if it makes you sleep better at night, yes youre fine
yo so i'm watching imexile vods and I notice every time he enters flag window he blades/house of cards AFTER the first sectec why is that? even the wowhead guide says to use them before sectec so am I missing something?
is dslice sim actually good for sub ?
what build for bandit?
It doesnt matter if you do it before or after
The main damage part of sectech happens 1s & 1.3s after you press the button
ahhhh makes sense cheers dude
can you step in jail on mugzee?
Yep
But you don’t have to deal with transmitter bullshlackah with HoC
I watched the little purple ball float over Gallys hole the other night uwu

any advice on rik timings?
i'm sending first flag like right as he does his first crash
and then my juiced 2nd sectech is usually hitting the first set of ads
was transmitter stealth nerfed? it's no longer lining up with flag for me
M+ affixes reduces cd of spells
Not trinkets

oof ty
time dances around barrel spawns
and thats about it
i hate this week
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I like how swords are cool fiery blades and the daggers are just fucking drills
there are fire daggers too
have you seen the 2h weap off stix?
its a chainsaw
hello guys, i got a question if someone can help me.
Is it worth usin backstab on a shadow dance window??
!up
once with premed
for danse
at least for me, a 658 HoC beat my 626 transmitter
champ track max upgraded
are we every playing around our set bonus? I know after the nerf, the answer is kinda no, but there has to be a breakpoint where we dont evisc 5 seconds before flag and reset 8 stacks
tysm, and a last question haha
secret technique is still worth casting as a first finisher? or is better to cast second one on a shadow dance window??
if its just dance, second is optimal to get macabre stacks
ideal would be backstab evisc, shadow strike tech
aah, nice, but with cds like flag and shadowblades is it better first??
yes, you have to get the cdr going in order to make the second tech go
perfect, tysm!!
@hazy breach @vale pine raidbots haluscinating a single Black Powder in trickster ST. It shows in the dam, but doesnt show in the rotation globals anywhere.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ryyN21wg4agPsCJ5Ar7jUV
nop
a sim is an average of 40k iterations
A sample sequence is 1 singular pull
It uses BP at 20? or less seconds on flag/blades with coup up
Yes it uses bp for coup
literally just tried holding it in a key for last boss, did crazy burst damage
really worth
Im confused on what I'm supposed to do when there is between 3-6 target.
Is the following correct:
- In AoE only use Black Powder if you don't have Flawless Form up or if 7 or more targets are present.
-In AoE you wanna use Eviscerate over Black Powder if you have Flawless Form
So I can you BP only if I dont have flawless form and between 3-6 targets also?
BP is basically to save coup if needed.
You just send Evis at that target count in CDs. Rupture if no CDs
So it's not a big dps benefit to use BP at that count?
It’s a loss
if youre comparing it to eviscerating with flawless form up, its a dps loss
its really not hard to keep flawless form up, so at that target count you really shouldnt be BP'ing unless youre in that niche situation scAth mentioned
where youre holding coup de grace
So the time Flawless form is down it's so little that it's not a big deal to no use bp except for the mentioned situation?
exactly
I dont really see myself in situations where flawless form isn't up though
and if there are, they're rare and for a very short time
I see, thank you very much yall
noticed on rik logs people are delaying cd's on pull for a bit, is that just to line up better with ad spawns
yes
around 13-14 seconds
send
then you get adds up during your 2nd dance
at the start you can just get up snd with an evis and vanish>rupture
then build to 7CPs and wait
@tribal blade badge op in keys this week
noice
just do keys 12 or higher and don't worry bout that
heehee
i did some 10s yesterday
it was so tilting
having to just hold cds to wait for HoC
this is my life right now, so triggering
yeah it's pretty bad
im almost giving in and farming a badge
cool ty, also noticed theres a SecTec at :54 without dance and just symbols is this normal for sub or specific for rik to save dance for adds
this is why i got a 92 on rik reverb, i was definitely not holding cds
I thought you farmed badge
if my first global in a dance is evisc, does that mean I shadow strike into a tech and ignore bs?
why would the backstab be used
you get the same macabre stacks with strike
and it does more dam
I want a formal fucking apology NOW
so you bs first, to use the premed stacks into a tech
then strike because it generates more cp into evisc
that makes sense
hmmmmmm
wait do I need to farm a million honor to put 2 sockets into this pvp neck?
theres some chest thing that spawns and the first person to open it gets the socket item
I dunno the details, just know it exists
ayup
pvp sockets are fucking expensive
exactly
lol btw
i managed to answer that mid i'pa pull in cinderbrew
mid bossfight
im insane
it could be for anything, really. My childhood, the way my wife treats me, work... I'll take anything
HES HIM
lmao
nah i didn't because i got HoC in first vault 😉
No. You can buy the bloodstones on the AH. It’s 5k honor each socket
In raid, pretty sure I've got my opener down, whats the criteria for sending second flag and blades?
does anyone know the exact timings on carts on 1st boss darkflame
it looks like it's roughly every 30 secs
sub does so much damage on there, its insane
Fortunately i got both now 
this is about to be me in a few hours
just mustering the courage to go farm conquest

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.
I don't want the buff icons under my character (like slice and dice as shown), but I do want the combo point bar. Has anyone been able to get rid of those?
you need to turn off the personal resource display
im not sure if you can turn off only the buffs
unfortunately that turns off the combo bar too
Is there an alternative combo bar that works well for sub?
is this blizzards new ui stuff?
I'm not sure, @young mural is correct turning off personal resource display removes the buffs, but also the bar.
no, its personal resource display and its been here for a while now
I hate it, I just want the bar
I mean, I have a weak aura you can use that I made that is decent
but lots of the weak aura packs have them
yhea, idk if you can turn off only certain aspects of it
pretty trash from blizzard if you cant
Went over half of raid without my glad badge macro’d into shadow blades 
thats so sad
what combo bar iare you using then?
hm, I do like the blizzard bar tho I will keep looking
yhea, this takes the whole blizzard theme and throws it away
!wa
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
it just saves room so you dont have 7 combo points
but I can see how it would throw a loop at first
and since we dont finish until 6
you just dont finish until you see red
I found one that's pretty much exactly what I was looking for
basically an exact blizzard copy
thumbnail looks bad tho it's not like that
Are you
FeelsGoodMan
@random hare am I?
badge enjoyers?
eye of kezan + badge is a devious combo
thoughts on mine? currently farming wrist and gloves, going to buy BoE boots
Sorry I'm a vault Hc HoC enjoyer
me be jealous
First hc kill vault

But...
I missed the mythic vault for two weeks because I keep getting banger hc trinkets
(HoC and the suspicious energy drink)
got sus energy drink from map yesterday
literally jumped with excitement
sus drink insane trinket pull
B/w sus energy drink and the mech amplifier, which scales better in long run?
Both sim 0.1% of each other
i had champ mechano-core
it was simming .1% higher than same ilvl sus drink
but idk
haste proc just seems very susge for me
isnt it still like that? 

i just dont touch outlaw
its not halucinating, there is a small optimization in the sim where it would use BP if you have coup de grace roughly 20 sec before flag comes off cooldowns.
Tho this optimization was barely worth it last time i checked (0.2% dps)
combo point generator lol
Ngl having 6 rolls and then getting 8 back to back crackshots was peak gaming. Absolutely cracked.
The last time my serotonin spiked that much was the SL S3 Sub tier set when I got 7 back to back procs
i tried to do that
but couldnt play outlaw correclty
*Correctly
just stuck to sub
my sim is contantly telling me that Azerrokks Heart is better than Sus Energy on 5 bosses. Does that sound right?
trust sim.
maybe you already got a good amount of mastery idk
Simming for each boss
People have too much time on hands

no multi target AoE not 5 bosses...
5 target sim @ornate lake
Nah brah...
brah im talking alot
but doing a +10 darkflame
rn
literally
killing blazikron rn
Hardcore.
are we supposed to have a full spark next week ?
multitasker
yup
i havent gotten my half spark yet this week, what quest do i have to do for it?
!up
im not sure, got my spark this week from last pinnacle crate i opened
those weekly crates you get for weekly quests, awaken the machine, special assignments etc.
lets not talk about it?
i bet paladin isnt playing while talking crazy in ret paladin discord
just wiped on boss
big heroic drink
love you, ty for the recognition
How palas avoid the nerf hammer is still a mystery to me
Literally the most skillless spec in the game
Judgement-WoA-Empyrean Hammer
Oh yeahhh I'm gonnnaaa burst

this shit pisses me off so much
you have no idea
ret paladins make me want to type out random slurs
what did they do?
Idk, subtlety has certainly had its moments of brain dead game play
really??
Even the funnel monkey macro everything sub of Shadowlands needed more skills than today's pala

Don't listen to him
i started to play rogue in DF S3, literally got me addicted to this shitty class
You had 3 min shadowblades and flagellation was a haste buff (not mastery)
it was hard back then and got easier now with shadow blades and flag lining up
Rogues in shadowlands had one of the highest skill ceilings in the game.
Outlaw was a demonic spec
i feel like rogues have been that way for a long time
one of the hardest classes to play
along side a few others like fire mage etc.
The mouseover bonespike necrolord outlaw and the shadow dust kyrian outlaw were absolute ass cancers
i dont even touch outlaw, too insane for me
i miss invigorating shadowdust from dragon flight though 😔
like i miss it alot
The SL one was absolute cancer. But the DPS burst on it was insane.
😭
Funnily, shadowdust was mainly an outlaw thing 
dreadblades, flagellation
or if it wasnt flag it was something
I cant remember
but something flagesque
Don't get me started on the blunderbussy 
Beginning of downfall of outlaw, it brought down the skill ceiling and made the spec literally BM level of gameplay
sorry for my dumb question, but what did/does dreadblades do?
Black powder spam and almost perma dance was as brain dead as you could get tbh
Yeah AR and BtE. Permanent uptime
dread blades made every builder you do fill combo points, like shadow blades
oh thats nice
Black powder spam is cringe and no one bought subs for black powder. You would funnel all the way.
So you would go finisher to finisher to finisher to finisher
crazy work
back to back to back consistant between the eyes?
Yes exactly, brain dead and boring
I mean thats their design principle
the spec is designed to be extemely easy so the player can be a toxic fuck
But I was really happy when I saw they brought in scent, shrouded and exsanguate in dragonflight.
Peak assa talents
and thats exactly what makes me mad about it
i feel like its throughput is insanely high for the effort you put into it
i was joking, i mean it is easy to allow more players to participate in harder content
ret is basically tuned higher to keep the player base of wow high
there is a reason it is the by far most popular spec in the game
there must have absolutely no questions about how you should play it
loool hjahahhahahahah thats fucking insane
compare this to e.g. subtlety
ofc BM and ret would be top 2
ret was not that popular before the rework
280k parses vs 80k 
but ever since always buffed or tuned extremely well and is easy to play
i mean you don't even press wings now
the gameplay loop became extremely boring/simple
exactly why it pisses me off even more
you dont even use your brain for CD management anymore
tho you can be top in dps meters due to tuning, and it is in fact what people value
also can use most spells from range
what if every sectec activated shadow blades for 8 secs
so no hard melee requirement like on rogue
Blizzard loves arthas n uther
you used to not have to use your brain for rotation, but at least you'd have to think about CDs to get good dps
I mean it kinda does? you basically do one builder one spender most of the time, you just dont get the shadow dam buff

nowadays you dont think about rotation or CDs + you get all melee spec benefits without the range requirement
i mean how does that not aggravate you
Wdym u don't think about rotation
ranged without casts is crazy work
i mean ret in general is one of the popular themes
dude compare a ret paladin's rotation toi a sub rogue one
But blizzard have assa caustic spatter and super juiced up SecTech for sub.
So I kinda forgive them
do you really think its even in the same ballpark for comparison?
rets have rotation?
Anyone else having issues with their treacherous transmitter desyncing with flagellation? I have the two macroed together but multiple times today when Flag would be up again, transmitter would still have like 7 sec of CD. It’s only been an issue as of today, had 0 issues before.
Bruh
It's the affix
It's fun to be the underdog
Jesus christ
Omg
e.g. paladin in dungeons and dragons is one of the popular classes
YES, this week's M+ affix is desyncing trinkets
Ok don’t mind me then, I’m just dumb
Don't run them together, 101
Even thief/rogue/assassin is too
That's a very different scenario
yhea i agree, theme is cool and all but really people think a godly kind of warrior is so cool??
people love to:
- play human in any high fantasy universe
- play the righteous knight
It's not godly kind of warrior

U know what's cool gray guards
Does anyone know what's a gray guaed

Assa rogues going to dominate tier by the end I feel
you essentially have always the lawfully good paladin in your dunegon group
exactly, a fucking robber killer assassin darkness dude is much more cool than a literal white knight imo
This is a paladin

actually cool asf cant lie
Lawful good btw
Hello, I’m having some issues with cd management. Do you use clone outside of SD? And do you SD outside of burst phases with Flag + SB? Also should I stop using SoD to pool energy and do a mini dance?
"Do whatever it takes to get the job done, and worry about the moral questions later"
in anything not mmorpg yes, but wow and ffo made rogue one of the more complex options while removing the reasons the archetype is so popular in other genres
e.g. in wow subtelty is often the glass cannon
but you are not allowed to do more damage than other classes
so you remove the entire benefit of glass cannon
surprise surprise, if you pull 5 mobs and die
80% of the players switch to something that can go afk and kill the 5 mobs
idk just feels weird for me
i get warlock being the 3rd most played spec/class
it has an actual cool theme and lore behind it
but hunter and paladin are so cring
hunter makes a lot of sense to be played
how
My rl told Me no hoc cuz outlaw outperformes and low sim compared to myth transmitter
😂
it has to be top 1 most boring spec concept
Barely any outlaws from rik onwards
bm hunter is now for multiple xpacs the definition of easy to play ranged spec with no casting
you essentially have complete freedom of movement and a simple rotaiton
making it the perfect beginner friendly spec
a dude that uses a bow and his pets to kill people is cooler than all the magic classes we have?
I like rogue being a niche class choice and higher skill ceiling.
Makes us look like mafia
talking about concept, not actual gameplay stuff
agreed, feels like a little club where you cant get in that easily
i refused to play ret after nyalotha was goated at that time and i loved the procs 
just that bm does not need insane tuning
neither ret pala, but they insist in making it insanely good
the way i see it is, blizz tries to make the popular specs more appealing
I just want to stab people and spill out their innards. Dead people can neither lie, steal or do bad things.
it is why you see ret paladin getting very strong output every tier
dude you should HAVE to put in effort to see big numbers, you should be rewarded for studying your rotation, running sims, analyzing logs, practicing etc etc etc
and because ret has such a high amount of players
keeping them happy is a higher priority
but here comes BM and ret just pressing 3 buttons randomly and topping meters
at least thats my theory
yhea i mean its not a secret that blizzard has been fiending for subs for a while now
Blizzard doesn't think that way 
their motto has been subs over everything for a WHILE now
i mean sub is good right now
me happy
its just, rogue in general is not competing with the highest dps
especially not the outliners
You mean sub as in spec or subscriptions?
all 3 rogue specs are great rn
sub = subtlety

outlaw might be the most underrated this tier
blizzard has been a sellout for subscriptions for a while
and you SHOULDNT expect anything other than that for a publicly listed company that got bought by one of largest corporations in the world
Maybe tomorrow I will wake up and see
*Outlaw has been deleted from the rogue spec tree

they really should be maxing out profits
Wouldnt high end guilds use outlaw instead of sub if it was superior?
if anything we will just get more classes next xpac
hope so
fuu, what do you think they'll do about hero specs next expac? im pretty hyped about that
will they add more?
completely remove them?
outlaw is not ideal for a early progression setting unless you know the fights noticably before
not enough uptime for it to be worth it imo
but i dont know anything about outlaw so take that with a bag of salt
So its basically an uptime issue? Like planning and so on
it is more a problem of the flat damage profile and high uptime requirements
if you know the fights need equal damage during all phases
I’ve been thinking about this, I think their learning curve is just different since it’s less steep initially on a fight but then they get to optimise it for longer
and outlaw is typically slightly better sustained damage than the other 2
I just get so tilted trying to proc transmitter the same time i use sectec
it can be a great choice
but as is, you have e.g. adds or specific phases you need damage
and both assassination and subtlety do that better
i need your input on this @vale pine
i have no idea
i could see each spec getting a new hero spec
or just a few more talents for each
oh yhea, thats a possibility
Well im gonna mess with rl on rik next week since i had highest dmg on barrels and with outlaw i dont see that happening 😂
This is 100% the crux of the issue, OL has no control over if it wants to push a specific thing which is why sub if preferred, lowest cd burst and highest burst of the 3 specs
would be pretty underwhelming though to just have a few more talent rows compared to getting whole new hero talent specs
i had my first raid as sub yesterday and it was so fun!
its just normal but im happy how it went.
i fucked up bigtime on stix tho, weird af boss XD
but thats probably whats going to happen
Oh god please.
Assassination is getting murdered by that garbage tier hero tree called Deathstalker. Literally the worst hero tree in the entire game.
that would be cool
fuck fatebound btw
fuck deathstalket btw
trickster on top
give nimble flurry to assassination, buff the fuck out of internal bleeding 
rogue hero trees so badly cooked each spec only has 1 viable tree
i actually miss playing 2 different hero trees like we did in S1
added a bit more of variety to sub
i do not actually, i like just playing trickster
trickster so cool tbf\
they might have had more success if they just made 1 hero tree per spec
but imo it shouldnt be the best hero spec for single target
i mean they cant even tune a single hero tree, imagine 2 per spec per class
Complete tangent, but this will eventually drive me insane. Does anyone else's game just randomly change the resolution to something stupid, which makes the game blurry?
crazy work
yeah they put themselves in a hard situation
lol haven't run into this issue
just cuts off 19 pixels in the vertical axis and completely destroys all text clarity haha
They’re probably just gonna end up baking certain hero talents into spec trees like they do with every expac’s added power feature
They used to use tier sets for that, but this season's tier sets aren't usable for hero talents
same
it would be such a big L if they removed the whole hero spec tree concept and went back to the boring regular talent tree
but thats blizzard every single xpac
they do something cool and interesting for once
and remove it next expac because why not
Yep, happens every time
truly my favorite addition they every did were artifact weapons
so fucking cool
kinda removes some of the depth of going after your bis weapon and weapon upgrades but
so cool
going after your bis weapon is half dead anyways
It was a sad day when BFA dropped and everyone had to replace their sick ass artifact weapons with quest and dungeon drops
crafted weapons are so close
depressing shit
i quit when bfa dropped
and came back only in DF S3 lol
but I do regret not playing shadowlands
s1 was goated
Nah being locked into a convenant sucked ass
seems like a cool and very different expansion all around, i wish i had experienced it
just choose the right covenant 4head
but people really hated covenants and the torghast stuff
As long as you weren’t super butthurt about the lore Shadowlands wasn’t that bad. But idk, I just enjoy wow so I don’t really relate to the hate each expac gets.
lore wise its so fuking bad
Ya no argument there
what do you mean we just go in and out of heaven/hell whenever we want now? 
fuck afterlife we invaded that shit
and jailer just being a bugged out robot is an INSANE end to the storyline, so fucking bad
I liked the covenants and abilities, just didnt like being hard locked early on.
Ya, everyone knew it was going to be an ass system tying covenant choice to player power and blizz still tried to convince us it was good lmao
when does tuning usually roll out?
its kinda looking like they wont fuck with alot of stuff
Lots of ppl were expecting Blizz to announce something this week since the RWF ended but there’s been no word so who knows
Btw has any noticed The First Dance proccing in combat? I vanished during a boss fight today and re engaged, but the timer for First Dance still went off and gave me the buff. Havent had the chance to really test and see if it’s a consistent thing or not.
yhea thats exactly what i was expecting
iRobot bro

im having trouble syncing cooldowns, do you hold shadow dances so they line up with cold blood ?
if you want to make life easy, you never cast cold blood in between flags
that does make life a lot easier
trying to fit two cold bloods per blades and flag is making all my shit line up weird and delayed
per blades and flag?
cold blood 45s = 2 per blades and flag 1:30?
okay, I briefly thought you mistook sectec or sth
you can make it fit if you perfectly time your dance to cast CB on the gcd when it comes back up
but in my experience, that's quite hard to do in hectic conditions
U can get away with it in certain situations in m+ depending on where u are in a dungeon and how big the pack is but in ur normal rotation it isn’t worth desyncing cold blood
Guys, how many shadow dances should I use between burst windows?
1-2. It’s better to judge off cd timers than aim for specific amounts.
thats something i was curious about
should i even bother sending 2nd cooldblood on CD
on a random eviscerate? or if im lucky in a not very buffed sec tech
Also is it mistake to start SD window with coup de grace without fazed?
Definitely not on eviscerate. Ideally the bare minimum for cold blood is SD + SoD. But the risk of desyncing with flag is high enough that in boss fights and such it’s better to just hold it and pretend it’s a 1.5min cd
yhea I figured
Like I was saying, m+ can be different. There’s packs that merit cold blood + sec tech, but not a Flag SB burst so you have to just judge it in the moment
I sometimes desync it in M+ for a bit extra damage on Sd + SoD when I know ill be holding cds for a bit
Yes, ur losing out flawless form stacks if you do that
but yhea, during strict boss fights where i've figured the timings, i generally dont send cold blood
off of my burst window
If I reach 30 stack of flag, i can CB on first dance? Or I w8 second dance?
Better still to wait until second dance for our tier set and flawless form stacks to build up
if youre doing the correct opener, you should not have 30 flag stacks in 1st sec tech
That too
hadnt seen your answer, agreed
Oh ok even i aoe, when I spread rep i easy reach 30 in no time
yhea i mean during AOE you might want to send CB on first dance
for extra upfront burst damage while all mobs in pack are alive
Oh ok so I do right
in M+ you have much more flexibility with your rotation
Does anyone know if Coup adds a separate stack of Macabre compared to evis? eg. Dance backstab/evis/shadowstrike/(coup proc)/symbol/shadowstrike/sectec?
Ok ty boys
but keep in mind if you're sure that all mobs will stay alive, best DPS is doing the normal opener with CB on 2nd dance
Love you all
love you more dude
Are you popping flag while the mobs are still being gathered? As far as I understand you want to flag just before your first dance so it stays active until the end of your second dance
you flag while mobs are being gathered/almost gathered
then send 2-3 ruptures max
and then pop dance and CDs
you want all mobs to be gathered when sending 1st sec tech
Ya I usually just send 1 rupture after flag and then pop everything else
i mean shouldnt be a big dps difference
2 is more etic for me
im about to learn how to sim rotation variations so i can do the ultimate extra master moment min maxxing
actionlist stuff
im about to become a robot in this shit
Lmao I haven’t gone that deep down the rabbit hole just yet but I’m getting close
But I will try 1 rep and open
im about to jump off the deep end here
1-2 is great
Ya now that I think about it, 2 is probably better in AoE but like David said the number difference probably isn’t that big.
!up

Does shadowblades add 20% damage to finishers as well as builders ? Just says attacks in the tooltip
Yes
hey got a question, idk if any1 tried, can u avoid mythic rik's amplification with evasion?
nvm found out, the answer is yes 😅
Yo @sour forum what’s up
soloing this guy on rogue SUCKED
recommend exhilarating execution btw
hey boys, dungeon slice sim any good for this spec? 😄
!bs
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.
do we just macro hoc with shadowblades?
That’s fine yeah
Underpin is so stupid as sub
When you need to wait a year between each pull for cds
Okay
other question, is it better to have macro with /use House of Cards or /use 14/13
Not sure I would say it’s better but I use /use 13
okay thanks!

Hey chaps quick question for my understanding of the gameplay. Outside of flag burst in dance+symbols, if we don't have coup up, why is sechtech the first charged finisher? Is it not better to build danse macabre stacks before using it?
If we use it straight away, it's cast with 1 stack of Dance macabre whereas if you wait for the second charged finisher, it's used with 3-4 stacks (bs+evisc+shadowstrike+sechtech)
Or am I missing something here?
Hello can some on explaine to me why i sim only at this ? : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/1qRkSSVFMcDD2XDEYSUnhN

Does anyone have an answer for this please? 🙏
Thats because if you not use sechtech as first finisher you wont have it back for second dance in CDs or it will be close to have it inside the flag/Blades window
(The damage gain from one stack of DM not in our cd windows is inconsequential)
And also if you use sechtech you will have unseen blade up. Because this you will shift cold blood to the second sechtech
Sectech for unseen blades
You can use dance + sod with 10s left on sectec outside of cds and press it as 2nd finisher
“Outside of the flag window”. 
Yes I do that. What about if sechtech is up already?
Is the cdr you gain more valueable than the danse stacks?
Do you always backstab as a first combo point builder in SD?
I believe wasting the cdr is bad
Ok thanks a lot for the replies chaps
we min max the danse for the big cb Sectech
Casting dance sod with 10s left on sectec gets you the best of both worlds
outside of that unseen blades and CDR “more better”
Danse stacks + no wasted cdr
What's cdr again?
Cooldown reduction
the bane of this spec
So basically SD at 10s sectec cd, backstab, eviscerate, shadow strike sectec (with coldblood)?
Yes, but with normal timings sectec will be off cd ready if you are trying to do the cold blood sectec between flags
And in that case, do I sectec as a first finisher?
Does anyone know why nothing changes when I'm using these settings on Luxthos - Rogue Sub
i want to make them look like this
!wa
Also pressing finishers on 5 CPs is not worth it, right? I should always go for 6+
It’s likely hand coded and ignoring the options
Is there a wa/addon/setting or something to kick bombs with a keypress? Like in motherload, just a keypress and not have to target click them?
I think you can keybind the interact Button
ok ty !
do this console command too
makes it so the facing requirement to kick them is less restrictive
question for the big brained, we don't evisc in opener for s&d because it's better to have another supercharged finisher in cds than 5? globals of s&d?
In AOE situations does it matter whether you keep targetting as main target the enemy you used flag on? I thought I had to, but saw a video of Casualaddict swapping target after pressing flag

We don’t do it because the 3seconds of SnD isnt a gain over doing a quicker and simplified opener that puts CDs on cooldown faster.
you can do the extended open on Rik since we’re basically holding CDs until the 13-14 second mark.
Since it lines up with adds better
Are there any other bosses where there is an accepted delay of cds? On heroic OAB my add damage is so bad cause it feels like only one window ever lines up with adds
Heroic gallywix was still fine this week to hold flag a bit for add spawns
It’s kind of pad though
Mythic rik mythic stix
Technically you can time to cast an evis like usual if start your dance like 2-3s before cold blood comes up but not casting it immediately off cd is kinda bad
I usually just dance symbols backstab at like 0.8s on cold blood cd then sectec first finisher since it’s cozier
are you talking about using shadow dance so it lines up with a cold blood inbetween cds?
yes
Im using cds then 2 Dances between next CDs After that only 1 Dance between cds seems to align rly good with 90+ Logs
!up
Nah... We ain't deathstalker assa
are there any other weird minmaxes like the dance macabre backstab?
finally getting the hang of it
Only reason why i play sub s2
Yo, where can i find the quicker opener? Im aware of the usual one, didn't see one wo sd first finisher
Usually ss flag evi vanish ss rup into dance
1st gcd in dance is bs, i save supercharged cp for the 2 ss following st
So i sod after bs before st
You just go ss flag rupture into SD, skipping the first evis and the vanjsh
okay so that was a good feedback thanks but if I'm seeing this correctly sims do the different opener?
Switch to nightly or latest
It’s neutral so it likely hasn’t been pushed yet. Koji usually only pushes stuff when it’s a gain.
the guides have it.
ah it's changed I think?
Yes
Sadly 
Meat is back on the menu

Ikr
we have been for a couple weeks
To be fair, never could stop anyway
Anyone tried remnant of darkness for m+? If so, how does it perform in real life?
Isn't that a big loss to send ST with low attack speed? Thought that because the not normalized thingy you read about not using dagger in offhand
it’s literally 6 seconds of an entire encounter. It makes zero difference.
Whats the best move when i proc coup but got like 20sec+ on dance
Press coup
sim is now pressing BP
Ok tought we wanna use it mostly with dance
No
Yes
Aaah got u thx
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
what is "shortly" 
15-20
fair enough, seeing it at 20ish seconds which I wouldn't have called close to flag. 
gains are gains
are u still better off using evis in 7+ target counts if you want prio damage?
yes
kk thats what i thought
Speaking of target count, is sectech uncapped or does it have a target cap for when it starts scaling down?
how many crit i need how many haste, versa and mastery?
sim but basically, no crit, no haste, all the mastery and vers in the world
Is a healthy approach to stats
we want crit lol
crit is good
Not too much
idk why you would think it isn't
crit is just like blow
you just want the right amount but not overdo it
Sure but the crit you get from set is kind of enough, atleast according to my sims. It doesn't want more
I over did it I crit too much noooo
did you crit your pants?
oh no
@lilac stag I got Gallywix Heroic down in a pug. Bandit / Mug'zee WAY harder in pugs than he is, haha.
woah GZ
Not dying in P3 / not soaking in P3.
Overall in the raid? Bandit is the most brutal fight for pugs, then Mug'zee.
GallywixH in pugs seems to just be doing either 2/6/13 or 2/8/20
Just stack healers and you never die
And then if you don't kick the cast on intermission, boss dies easily in P3
i'm not making gearing choices off this. numerically at 661 ilvl crit is still very good
FAR FAR FAR from useless or dead
mmhm
any brother that has rogue vod of Stocken Lock MYthic?
if I wasnt a greedy goblin I'd use my crit mastery OH, I can't be arsed spending enchant mats on it when the market is buying them like crazy
haha yeah
whats your crit % at?
Where do you get this sheet from? Looks neat
Love big versa
23,4%c, 3%h, 68%m, 23%v. Probably why my sims hate crit
i should actually run consumables again
and this is why we dont blindly say crit is bad
becuase its not
Bandit is actually kinda fine if you share the WA with people
And have 3 dedicated people
Doing the mechanics they can
Can house of cards be macrod to sec tec since it doesn't need to be 'resolved' like transmitter?
Macro to shadow blades
Yeah, I agree. It's the getting them to use the WA issue.
If you can hit P2 it always dies
The biggest issue is the typical pug issue of someone not listening, and then picking up a coin and doing nothing
Fair enough. Since don't we sectec first finisher after SB to ensure a second sectec falls within buff window
My plan for leading Bandit is to just RW and automark the two adds I want to die each cycle, and then try to pick coins up first haha
mug'zee is basically solved from a leading perspective, but getting people to do gaols right is the challenge.

!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.
Do you cast Clones on cd outside of burst or do you keep it for dance + SoD?
I feel like I'm doing something very wrong with my cd usage outside of timing them with the fight
@hazy breach did you feel holding flag on cauldron was worth it? Full send and the hold look close.
Feel like it should be better, but ye doesnt seem much better
Like +60% dmg to your cd should be better
yeah I was kinda surprised
I wanted to try
has anyone had the beam soak mechanic on rik reverb be stuck in place even when you move
But eveyone trying to fit inbetween the 2 is tough
happened to me in raid earlier
Wonder if it’s just from the 4th flag getting clipped
I wouldve gotten r1 if i had logged myself 
Stupid sectech losing me damage because im too far away from our logger
just send cds on cd, and i found good success capping dance charges before going into clash

so i save a dance+symbols for every clash
Well I’m look at Mr #2 parse
Hahah
hey i got a 98 tonight 😉
I wonder if hold gets better with faster kills
only thing I really see is that 4th flag being poop
4:50 kill time and the hold should be better
yeah i noticed that too on cauldron, very cringe
sad true, we all need to log ourselfes
shouldn't be an issue on any other boss irght
no other boss has groups split phased or that far away from each other
range logging locken maybe
!wa
I keybinded the interact button to my space bar & it made the fight ez af
man sub is so passively tanky
i'm looking at raid logs from tonight
i'm taking less damage than people who died early on fights
mmhm.
We did some 10-11s in a guild group. Did one cinder as assa just to test it since lots of trash. We missed it by 10 seconds, one unluck pull. Reran it as sub and we were 4 mins under. Boomie & BM the other two. The boss dmg is so nice to have.
ST dam in keys is important
isn‘t that expected? Can‘t take dmg if you‘re dead 
not reflected on overall unfortunately
they cleaned up the trash, and ended up in the 2.7m range
so can’t complain
No skyfury
He is saying he is taking less damage than people who died early, despite him not dying early
still getting used to that.
ty yeah
so i'm active for 100% of the fight
No skyfury is pain ye
and they're active for like 30% less
We knew what you meant. We speak Prophet
I found something worse than no skyfury. A shaman who refuses to press Skyfury. 😨
feels like you're playing under mud
the pvp trinket this week is sooo nice
ah gotcha
Why this week? Earliest access?
affix reduces flag to 60 seconds
Its not really 60s, but yes it reduces flag and blades cd
Holy fucking shit that‘s what‘s up????
so 90 trinkets get krangled
i was wondering so hard what was wrong with me
Yea realized today HoC is annoying in keys this week
65ish?
It just ends up sitting dead half the time
I just noticed it was up basically every min
god damn
HoC and DM on assa was fun
getting back into pvp is such a chore
not that i was much into it but eh
Does that mean trinket after this week won’t be as valuable? Idk if I need to grind the conquest to get it. Currently using an A & B class tier trinket
700 conquest is pve
it's more fun doing 12s and higher this week than 11s or under
because having HoC offset from cds is just mega pain
i had 0 fun helping guildies do 10s
It’s a great trinket to replace transmitter. If you have HoC you likely don’t need it.
I totally forgot about the flawless form stacks... would it be why my parses aren t so great
You’re missing the 60 second cd pump. 
it’s been fun
what pvp trinket are you guys talking about
aaah sick ty
!up
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is that for entire season as of now or is that just this week for affixes
has nothing to do with this week
Is hero-track mechano-core as good as it sims? Or is it a bait?
Its good
Guess we go delve then!
Is there any thing else that gives as much gains as leveling jeweler trinkets and our main hand? It seems all the other slots give minor % of gains vs neck giving like %5 almost per level
