Anyway

lilac stag
#

just dont switch

tribal blade
#

if you need to kidney something

lilac stag
#

mouseover

paper iron
#

Have à mouseover macro

tribal blade
#

i've never actually set up mouseover kidney

paper iron
#

But also

#

Unbind ks

lilac stag
#

becuase if you can switch to that target in 20 you can switch to your mark target

tribal blade
#

i think i still stand with playing around mark is absolute dogshit

paper iron
#

At the time you ll need ks the mob will be dr

#

Remake kidney shot into kidney sweep

lilac stag
#

deathstalker is just dog shit. like all of the rogue hero talents

paper iron
#

Instead of 2%leech on one gcd

lilac stag
#

trickster on sub just happens to be the least dogshit of the two

paper iron
#

Yea

tribal blade
#

i don't know if any other hero tree requires you to constrict your gameplay so heavily

paper iron
#

Because cleave

vale pine
#

aoe kidney

#

sounded soo good

paper iron
#

Because they nerfed sectec by 15s

vale pine
#

i am honest, i still don't understand the initial secret nerf

paper iron
#

Idk

vale pine
#

especially now that we saw balance tuning

lilac stag
paper iron
#

As i said multiples time

#

Sub is in the best spot, top of Middle pack

#

But then

lilac stag
#

now they leave as is, to increase assa playrate in mythic

paper iron
#

Tuning patch happen and doesnt make sens

#

Sub fall off

#

Now it will be in à weird spot

lilac stag
#

as per usual

vale pine
#

^

paper iron
#

Assa getting St buff is really lovely and needed

#

But 3% aura buff was not needed for m+ compared to other rogue specs

#

Was needed compared to other class in the game

vale pine
#

but assassiantion performed on par

#

to subtlety on single target

paper iron
#

But at the same title sub needs à 5ish % buff in keys

vale pine
#

going with the same logic, wouldn't it make sense for both specs to get similar buffs?

lilac stag
paper iron
#

Is it really on par

vale pine
#

look at wcl

lilac stag
#

it is on par in heroic and mythic

paper iron
#

Think sin is super being on boss damage

#

On rik

#

On locken

lilac stag
#

outlaw slowly getting the higher parses overall

paper iron
#

Sorry to be that elitist But idc about heroic at all

lilac stag
#

unfortunately thats what they have the most numbers to look at after 2 weeks

paper iron
#

I m not on pc rn But was pretty sûre assa was being on boss damage where amp isnt à thing

lilac stag
#

and while I agree it's crap

vale pine
#

if anthing, sin is already the top in boss damage

#

there rly is statistically little diffrence between the two specs atm

#

and the assumption with tuning changes is, that these are based on statistics

paper iron
#

Most of hc kills here are 2mn40

lilac stag
#

next week will be interesting to see the numbers of parses

paper iron
#

I would assume

slate marlin
#

Thats hc tho

lilac stag
#

in mythic

vale pine
#

one is hc, the other mythic

paper iron
#

That makes assa better to look at

#

Right?

#

I think sub Will still be better in mithyc

crystal bone
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

i guess easiest is to look at a very single target heavy fight

#

mugzee?

crystal bone
#

jesus sin is giga juiced in keys now wtf

vale pine
#

or whats the best case for that

#

if we look at mugzee

#

assassiantion is already ahead of subtlety

paper iron
#

Oab is good for sub. Mugzee will better sub because 2x cd is better than 1x cd during exec

deep estuary
#

Anyone know of some kind of sub raid guide? Like every boss, when to use cds, when to hold etc. Tips n tricks

paper iron
#

And gally shouldnt matter idk not enough sample

lilac stag
#

assuming mug doesn’t get adjusted.

paper iron
#

That s crazy fuu

#

Now

#

Im mad

vale pine
#

but for most parts

paper iron
#

Devoker got giga buff

slate marlin
vale pine
#

the important raid figths is

paper iron
#

Remember that

vale pine
#

*raid cheeses

#

is on rick reverb

crystal bone
vale pine
#

you want to use evasion to be able to stay on boss

#

as it makes you take no damage from the brown ground aoe

#

its one of the nice things

deep estuary
vale pine
#

yes

#

else there isn't rly much

#

most fights have no real big cheeses

#

but what i can suggets you

#

is to use this website

ornate lake
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

for cooldown management

deep estuary
#

Aye will do ty

vale pine
#

^ this one

#

it allows you to see how people used their offensive cooldowns

#

and outside of this

#

just jump in here into chat

#

and ask if you are unsure about a specific boss

#

we have many people who progress these fights right now or killed it

#

to give you some tips if you have questions

lilac stag
#

we jokingly said it from the start. if assa playrate is down, it will get a buff. the early sims being so low and people being a little more open to trying sub / rwf running sub tanked mythic assa numbers.

sand monolith
#

Best way to learn honestly is via osmosis

lilac stag
#

this isn't shocking. just be glad it wasnt a buff to BP

#

the one sub advantage is still how fucking tanky it is in raid, but that's not really going to make up being lower on boss dmg / not having huge priorty adds to burst

paper iron
#

My best tips is to reroll mage

deep estuary
crystal bone
#

its so satisfying to go from rank 18 on the meters to gapping rank 1 hard

#

in 20 seconds

paper iron
#

Even with rwf play

#

If dust was still à thing

#

Sub would have à lower playrate

#

Sub gameplay is just good rn

iron whale
#

btw I know it's just a me thing, but for how much I love sub rogue it feels so underwhelming how on same gear level I struggle on execution and performance especially with more than 1 mob even in overworld... and when I pick my havoc DH I can just mindlessly PULVERIZE 30 mobs together without even caring about my hp for half a second

paper iron
#

I think rogue Will get the sp boomie mage disco hpal treatement soon

#

Aka

#

Becomes à 3 buttons straight forward class

#

One builder aoe. One builder St. Same with spender. Symbol paired with dance passively

#

Stuff like that

#

I feel it

iron whale
#

hmm

dry plank
paper iron
#

If u use sims to compare specs/ class

#

U re already wrong

lilac stag
#

WW vs rogue wasn’t wrong. garf

paper iron
#

But

#

I sim 2.2

#

My devoker sims 2.1

#

But he does 500k more than me

dry plank
#

When difference is 500k you can’t be wrong but between assa and sub it was minor

lilac stag
#

so you’re better at playing evoker. Noted

paper iron
#

Devoker apm is the same as sub out of cds

#

And priority wise its easier than ret to say the least

#

U can 99% devoker in à day

lilac stag
#

all the channels and what not I’m assuming

paper iron
#

No cap

#

Current devoker is genuily 1 buttons press

upper narwhal
#

it's funny I was reading the rotation guide on WoWhead for Dev, and it's like an hour long essay that boils down to "press 1 button"

#

well written tho no flame

paper iron
#

They have good guide writters

#

Imo

#

Rogue evoker sp

#

Are great

upper narwhal
#

ye preheat is a GOAT

paper iron
#

i didnt like shaman one but it s probably because i prefered getting coach by a friend that i know for a while and who knows everything

#

mage is a mess to me, way too many words for nothing garf_sit

#

lock idk, ww i hated it when i tried

upper narwhal
#

mage has good info it's just badly structured imo

paper iron
#

ret i didnt need a guide

#

tbf

#

mage has the mage hub thing

#

that s great

upper narwhal
#

the optimisations are baked in to the body of the guide but they should really be a seperate section

#

ye mage hub is insane info

paper iron
#

and the video from this dude i forgot the name

#

he s doing great

#

if u dont like reading, just 45mn of a video he explains every concept

#

that s a really great thing they have

#

drawbacks of fire mage

upper narwhal
slate marlin
#

No cleave?

paper iron
#

quick quick fuu, write it on sub guide, drawback of sub : no burst

#

but

slate marlin
#

good cleave

#

on pros

#

xdddddd

paper iron
#

xDDDDDDDDD

shell delta
#

thats epic writting tbh

bleak night
#

i mean

#

i'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant spread cleave

slate marlin
#

arcane intellect is on drawbacks lmfao

paper iron
#

oh yea

#

no class stacking

#

right

upper narwhal
#

Mage has no other utility garf

bleak night
#

also they kind of just have to make shit up to fill space for that list

paper iron
#

i swear

#

as much as i know rogues are babycryers

#

that s just fact

#

mages are on another level

#

it s crazy

bleak night
#

soemtimes the shit you see in those pro/con lists are hilarious

slate marlin
#

We still cant compare to boomies

paper iron
#

yea idk if u remember in df s2

#

hunter had a thing like

upper narwhal
#

tbf boomies have a right to complain rn

paper iron
#

pro : does constant damage
Cons : does no damange

slate marlin
#

boomies will be meta in every type of content and will cry for buffs

paper iron
#

u do constant no damagte

#

cant let u say that

#

boomie is down bad since df

#

shit is either good in raid or aoe

#

(mostly in aoe)

bleak night
#

boomkin hasnt done good st damage since df s1

#

but it does big aoe so it ends up being good in m+

paper iron
#

and since they made feral not troll anymore

bleak night
#

so guess you just have to be a key enjoyer

upper narwhal
#

They have the problem of choosing AoE or Singletarget in talents and can't do both, literally only ever picked for their insane spread AoE now

paper iron
#

and rdruid stroooong since SL S4

#

what s fun about tuning patch is

#

lemme find it

#

well they still cant process that a 8% damage buff on arcane doesnt impact trinkets / embellish / blablabla, so it s not 8% raw, but it s still more than boomie

hey anyone down to log review a 14 dfc, im doing shit dmg not sure what im doing wrong

round latch
#

bro so happy from being OP again he writes weird stuff

paper iron

Damn sin chat is literally pissing and shitting themselves

#

What a 3% aura buff does to a mf

dont go into devoker chat

#

it s the worst thing i ve never seen

#

noone understand why they re getting buff in there 🤘

so they vibe happy_holiday_pepe

If you don't want to play Sin and want to play Sub, why not just play Sub?

paper iron
#

if u dont want to play sin and want to play sub, why not just play fire?

twilit phoenix
#

For real if it ends up being sin as the giga ahead spec

#

I’ll just play lock

I’ll just go feral if I want to play sin

Coming from arminferal

I prob wouldn’t play flatline sub

warm folio

does anyone know the % difference in ST between using a t2 battle pot and a t3 battle pot?

No but it should be pretty easy to sim

Just do one quick sim with t2 and one with t3

whats yall average overall dmg in m+?

ornate lake
#

It's that simple

#

The pure bleed build actually gigaslap in aoe

#

But has dogshit ST

#

When assa already has catshit ST

#

I don't want 15M on a pack but 900K on a boss

#

Sub is well balanced with it's pros and cons

lilac stag
#

then talent out of aoe and go st , play outlaw or sub. You have options.

grave sparrow
#

is there any specific % i should look on my Haste and mastery?

#

or soft caps

ornate lake
#

I liked the OG Assa when AoE was all about garrotes. Good times

But I'll return to bleedmaxxing when tuning gets fixed for assa ST

Should also get the pvp trinket instead of honey buzzer Surebud

save it, it’s good for assa

might be smart to gear os for outlaw

Is there anything i need to know for the on use DMG trinkets or can i Just use them on CD?

lucid jackal

Outlaw is the best spec just nobody plays it

how'd i get rid of this deathstalker icon

Who are these people then?

pure jay

all the rogues telling me outlaw is sim bait baited me D:

plain jacinth
#

Gladiator badge we use only with flag+shadowblades or normally when is up ?

lucid jackal
#

It's Sim bait, and also the best spec

cloud rover
#

Wait even a better one

swift crest
#

is gladiator badge better than heroic transmitter

left ledge
#

sim it but it should be close

tired hound
#

for QoL alone, got to be

#

Dunno how much of these parses is the trinket going ham

lilac stag
#

They were good before finding the trinket.

twilit phoenix
runic sequoia
#

It is wild the affix puts cdr on the internal dance CD that prevents you pressing dance during dance

hollow spear
#

Sucks that outlaw hates mastery (or does it?)

lilac stag
#

Notrickz dropping the pvp build and solo cooking it helped

lucid jackal
#

Outlaw is the best spec in raid rn, it's also Sim bait, and also underplayed and underrated

#

All these statements are true

pure jay
#

im just struggling on my sub 😦 I don't want to be a grey parser ;_;

hollow spear
#

Besides Mugzee, fights feel kinda outlaw friendly

lucid jackal
#

Extremely outlaw friendly

hollow spear
#

Send ks on cooldown friendly? pepe_chad

outlaw simming 15% ahead in st like wtf

#

Everyone speccing out of sub already?

vocal crypt
#

sadly assa and sub has so different statweights so you cant swap from key to key :/

hazy breach
#

you can

#

stats doesnt matter nearly as much as people think

vocal crypt
#

Really ? I was going full into subrogue so crafted everything with Vers/mastery upgraded all of this items

lost kite
#

I mean i played sub for a week with 14k haste it 1000% held back the damage

umbral relic
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
lost kite
#

Swapped the 14k haste for Vers 2 days ago and almost doubled my damage

#

So stats do have a pet to play

hazy breach
#

It absoluely did not

lost kite
#

Part

hazy breach
#

Sure youd do more without the haste

#

but its like +5-10%

lost kite
#

I mean I was doing 1.3m overal in m+ with that haste now I’m averaging 2.3-2.5

hazy breach
#

not +100%

bleak night
#

no shot you genuinely think replacing haste nearly doubled your overall in keys

hazy breach
#

Assa hates haste for keys anyway

#

so youll be having good stats anyway

lost kite
vocal crypt
#

in m+ its a lot about the comp i guess. When you burst into the pack and have 10mio dps but it took to long to finish the pull you drop really hard but as subrogue you dont want so use symbols or something for the last 10% of the mobs

lucid jackal
#

I don't push keys and I hate that sin is a passenger princess on boss damage

hollow spear
lucid jackal
#

So I will not be playing sin in keys

vale pine
#

outlaw enjoyer?

vocal crypt
hollow spear
#

Stats make a difference, but not as much as people seem to think

vocal crypt
lost kite
#

Each to their own I feel like stats are rather important it’s my opinion I guess

hollow spear
#

Doesn't stop me from regemming for a 1k dps sim improvement tho garf_sit

vale pine
#

it depends on how extreme of a stat diffrence we talk about

hollow spear
#

Well rather important =! a 100% dps increase

lost kite
#

I mean minor stats don’t mean too much I guess but when we are talking big numbers

#

It’s deff different

vale pine
#

if you have more extreme stat distribution you will see a noticable diffrence

hollow spear
#

Improving your dps by 100% by just swapping stats is impossible

lost kite
vale pine
#

e.g. if you have close to no vers and mastery

lost kite
#

Was huge

vale pine
#

and a lot of haste

#

but these extreme stat distributions are not reasonable, you will typcially have either a good distribution between stats

hollow spear
#

Yeah but I'm sorry

#

1.3m overall is bad

vale pine
#

and try to get the stats that are overall favored

hollow spear
#

No matter what stats you run

vale pine
#

if you do bad damage on sub, it is likely that you missplay

#

the spec is punishing

vocal crypt
#

in my opinion the "hardest" spec in m+ (i only play m+)

lost kite
#

Well I guess the thing I did change is that I stopped max spreading rupture as I felt it held my cds too long

lucid jackal
#

I think if I sent outlaw this whole tier tho it'd be better

vocal crypt
#

and the most tilting when you use all cds and then have to move 💩

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

i think its a missed oppotuity

lost kite
#

Now if I have cds I only send 1 rupture on current target then pop cds

lucid jackal
#

Sub for oab, sin for mugzee unless p2 gets way shorter, and then probs sub again for gally

#

I think sin just sucks tho

#

The buff will be for mugzee tho so

vale pine
#

i don't know, i think 5%+ is a noticable buff

#

unsure how important cooldown alignment rly is on the fights

hollow spear
#

it certainly helps that you can completely turn off your brain when playing sin

lucid jackal
#

Sub can delay its symbols and dance for every reel assistant

#

Sin can't

#

Sin can't target swap if needed efficiently

#

Sin can't blow up the bomb set

proven plover
#

Personally my wow sub wouldnt survive another sin season

pure jay
lucid jackal
#

On shit like sprocket Cd's don't really matter it's just abt what spec does the most damage

#

Which is probably still sub xdd

pure jay
#

!log

hollow spear
lucid jackal
#

Sub gains an actual mountain of damage from mythic house of cards which nobody has

warm marlin
#

I would be playing outlaw on sprocket if I had a gearset

#

feel like even fatebound would do better than sub

hollow spear
#

sin and sub performed quite equal on st fights

warm marlin
#

and grapple seems very nice if u ever get assigned a far bomb

vale pine
keen steppe
#

On first boss floodgate you start with shadowblades or you wait for it when the damage amp phase is starting? Talking from +10 upwards

lucid jackal
hollow spear
#

so a 5% buff for sin with sub remaining unchanged

hollow spear
vale pine
#

but sub still has a more dynamic cooldown management

hollow spear
#

and cauldron is a ST fight

vale pine
#

as well as a 90 sec cycle instead of 120

#

both advantages that can be relevant

lucid jackal
#

This is sprocket mythic

#

No externals

hollow spear
#

and how many parses are there

#

cauldron is more significant for me

#

way bigger sample size for the 90th and 95th percentile

pure jay
#

i parsed a 5 on rik and idk how i managed that

warm marlin
#

you can multidot on cauldron tho

lucid jackal
#

And these are bad sub timers

lucid jackal
#

Sprocket is a st fight

hollow spear
vale pine
#

i think its quite hard to compare

warm marlin
#

you can't really dance at 1:15 unless you are delaying flag or saving it like eleem did

vale pine
#

on a fight with 40 logs on sub

#

and 5 on sin

hollow spear
#

yep

vale pine
#

and then go with "max dps"

hollow spear
#

I have my money on sub

#

being weaker than sin on ST fights

vale pine
#

the entire problem with statistics on any of the fights in mythic is the low amount of logs

slate fable
#

would a 658 suspicious energy drink be a sim bait vs an equal ilvl wax whistle now? sims are saying energy drink is still better by .9% but already being at mastery cap and having house of cards i feel i should go with the direct damage trink instead

vale pine
#

only like the first few can be used for arguments

hollow spear
#

mythic sprocketmonger is not the basis for any argument at this point, imo

vale pine
#

and e.g. the first boss has some of the best timings for sub

#

yet when looking at logs

pure jay
vale pine
#

seems like its not beating assassiantion with worse timings

pure jay
#

wild

pine stratus
#

why is outlaw doing this to us

#

xD

hollow spear
#

I demand an emergency hotfix

pure jay
#

im more upset that i second guessed myself and decided to commit to sub with all this happening

vale pine
#

haha

hollow spear
#

outlaw has not right to actually perform well

stable jackal
#

playing outlaw gets so boring so quick, becomes a RSI speedrun tbh

pine stratus
#

same happened to me

vale pine
fallow nimbus
pine stratus
#

i got out of sin, figured id play sub for a change

pure jay
#

if i wasn't struggling so bad on sub I probably wouldn't be as frustrated

vale pine
pure jay
vale pine
#

the first boss is doable in pugs, so you will def. have both timers

warm marlin
vale pine
warm marlin
#

probably has something to do with it

vale pine
#

let me look

fallow nimbus
#

I've only seen delaying for 2mins

pure jay
vale pine
#

oh, you are right, seems most start on 2 mins

hollow spear
#

the problem that sub has

vale pine
#

the spec is punishing

#

partly because the dev team wants it to, not because it is good design

hollow spear
#

is that on first boss there's a decent gap between 1st and 2nd burn phase sometimes

pure jay
#

a bit yea, i let dance and symbols be capped for longer then I should've

vale pine
#

first boss seems to be commonly on 2 min and 5 min

#

with fights typically ending after the 5 min burn

#

it makes kind of sense why assassiantion is overall higher than sub

warm marlin
#

sub also still ahead on boss dmg 95th pct despite that

lucid jackal
#

Why would looking at the only st boss in the raid not be the basis for evaluating how good a spec is on st

vale pine
#

we could

#

once we have more players

#

comparing 5 players

#

vs. 40 others

vague schooner
#

Is it worth to learn sub? Or should i stick with assa? I cant decide😭

lucid jackal
#

But outlaw is over performing despite low sample size

#

So this seems like a non argument

vale pine
#

is very prone to get incorrect data

#

wdym

lucid jackal
#

Outlaw is cranking on every single boss rn

#

Nobody is playing outlaw

#

Sin is not cranking every single boss

blazing cypress
#

OwO

lucid jackal
#

Nobody is playing sin

vale pine
#

well

blazing cypress
#

Outlaw stonks?

vale pine
#

is your argument that sub is already bad on single target?

#

i am not following

lucid jackal
#

My argument is sub is still the go to raid spec if you are good at rogue

pine stratus
#

just depends on fight length

lucid jackal
#

U can just play sin if u wanna play sin now

#

But if u can play all 3 specs for a majority of fights I'd say it's otl sub sin

#

Mugzee is the only boss I'd want sin

#

And depending on nerfs next week, mugzee might become a sub boss

pine stratus
#

if only the stats aligned

vale pine
#

hmm

#

i guess we will see

pure jay
vale pine
#

so your prediction is sub and sin are equal on stix after the buffs in output?

#

once we have a resonable amount of logs

lucid jackal
#

Again you don't look at one armed bandit and say "hmm what rogue spec is the highest st patchwork dps"

#

That's moronic

#

You play sub on the fight cuz sub is a better cooldown profile

vale pine
#

like if stix is the best st example

#

we can just bring it down to heroic

lucid jackal
#

Stix is a gimmick boss

#

You get balls and u do no damage

pine stratus
#

only because on bandit you can peak at 7-8mil dps in the first min xD

vale pine
#

and would show this balance

lucid jackal
#

Stix isn't even a st boss tho

vale pine
#

i thought you referenced stix

warm marlin
#

the add spawn timings on stix def favor sub

small hemlock
#

sprocket ?

vale pine
#

sry i seem to have missunderstood

lucid jackal
#

If you want to look at st damage you would look at sprocket

vale pine
#

which boss is the most single target boss of the raid?

small hemlock
pure jay
small hemlock
#

sprocket

lucid jackal
#

Which this is what mythic sprocket looks like atm, with externals filtered

shell delta
#

how mugg kekw

pure jay
#

oh yea, sprocket makes sense

vale pine
#

oh sry, then lets look at it

#

so sin is ahead of sub on it

cloud kestrel
#

Is nible Flurry damage based off your location to the surrounding mobs? or the location of the mobs in relation to your primamary target?

vale pine
#

pre buffs

lucid jackal
#

I wouldn't look at the stats page I would look at actual rankinga

#

Which on heroic looks like this

small hemlock
#

but then you run into the sample size issue

lucid jackal
pine stratus
#

but in the end, isnt consistency one of the big factor?
Like, Outlaw would likely have very similar dps regardless of fight duration no? Whereas sub Greatly varies, and sin too, to an extend

small hemlock
#

if more people play sub there will be a higher representation of them on that page

lucid jackal
#

But is an issue for sin

#

There's less outlaw logs than sin logs

vale pine
#

with 3x the amount of logs

small hemlock
#

just because more people with more gear will be higher up hogging the spots there

vale pine
#

there is not all outlaw

#

so its not as dominant

small hemlock
#

but its good to see all 3 specs represented

lucid jackal
#

I don't understand how the stats page said sin is better than the other 2 specs it makes 0 sense

pine stratus
#

only caus nobody plays it

small hemlock
#

averages

lucid jackal
#

It's literally just worse

small hemlock
#

on average therye p much the same

pine stratus
#

and what we see on top are outliers

vale pine
#

because stats

#

don't look at max dps

teal coral
#

Who ping what I do

vale pine
#

i guess someone wanted your intput for single target statistics

small hemlock
lucid jackal
#

Idk how u look at either of these images and say "sin is clearly the best st spec"

#

It literally makes 0 sense

small hemlock
#

but rogue god said its ok to do

pine stratus
#

the RNG is real tho

vale pine
#

the claim is the best way to look at statistics is to literally look at the top X logs on the fight and see which spec has the highest amount of presence.

small hemlock
#

get fuud in the ass

vale pine
#

versus my claim that statistics over a higher amount of players is a more reasonable way of comparison.

teal coral
#

Heroic statistics are pretty rough yeh but if you’re looking at averages it’s fine

#

It’s just pretty hard to go to heroic Stix or something and go “wow look at that balance” and then go to mythic and try and apply it

#

But scrolling through the convo fuu is spot on

small hemlock
pure jay
#

is there a best way to practice sub on dummies? Our CD management is primarily have all of them available throughout the fight together right?

#

and some are usable outside of those windows?

lucid jackal
small hemlock
#

yeah that is true

lucid jackal
#

Just go to the dummies and practice

wicked joltBOT

Cooldown Use:
Every 90 seconds you want to cast Flagellation and subsequently Shadow Blades. When these two are up you always want cast 2 Symbols of Death, 2 Shadow Dances and 2 Secret Techniques.
To ensure you have enough cooldown reduction on your Shadow Dance to attain that you need atleast 1 charge and roughly 40 seconds left on your second charge before casting Flagellation.

i rly need to make a fancy picture

What can make someone to deal 1mil more avg hit on sec tech with same ilvl? Using sec tech after shadow dance and supercharged

Cause you can kill ur self with it. Sometimes you can’t find the ball

potent summit

like i stated in the pin

oak grotto
#

Can I send Coldblood SecTech outsite of Shadow Blades?

vale pine
#

we will always use one of these 3

#

and combine it with the "best" of what we have else

potent summit
#

But I think people should always use hoc or pvp

#

Transmitter has too much rng to fuck everything up in my opinion

Well more like wall

oak grotto
#

Why open with Backstab instead of Shadowstrike after Dance+SoD?

vale pine
#

premeditation

#

the trade off of using backstab as firts builder is low

#

using it later during dance would have a higher trade off

#

if the question is "but why use backstab in the first place?"

#

thats because of danse macabre and the tier set

potent summit
#

Fuu you think we get a buff in 4 weeks ?

#

Like 3% aura ?

vale pine
#

damage amplifiers are multiplicative and as such having so many during dance will make the one more stack of Dm aluable

vale pine
#

subtlety is usually not kept as the go-to spec and the buff ensures that

pure jay
#

niceee

vale pine
#

exceptions are mostly because of other reasons

potent summit
#

They should just give us 10 stacks back and call it a day

#

Assa would be still stronger but we were close

#

And harder to play

lucid jackal
#

Rogue will get chain buffed all of farm like they did last tier

potent summit
#

Give me sec tech buff and 10 stacks

vale pine
#

we might get buffs in the next patch

#

if rogue performance looks statistically bad

potent summit
#

We can all play bad

#

All together

#

And make them think 😎

#

Let’s make a pact

i don't rly understand blizz balancing philosophy

potent summit
#

No one does

#

People don’t play sub that’s why

ornate lake
potent summit
#

Blizz just don’t give a shit about rogues cause no one plays it

void hound
#

its probably incoherent
riot took a long long time developing a coherent philosophy on balancing and have a whole team dedicated to it

blizzard lacks resources to do the same, so the he result is messier

ornate lake
#

Paladin and Mages are Blizzard's biological child and rest are step children

stable jackal
potent summit
#

Look at the patch notes they even write down why they nerf or buff. On rogues they don’t even take the time and just aura buff assa without a word 😂

it doesnt help that wow is very complex and high in design debt so balancing is harder since so many systems overlap

i think balancing is a hard problem

#

you work with so much incomplete data

#

i keep saying this, but we need more data

#

^^

void hound
#

that being said, the game is fairly balanced all things considered
even now the difference between the best and worst spec is probalby less than 15% played at the absolute highest level

keen dome
#

Data is always good, imo

void hound
keen dome
#

And I agree that the game is pretty balanced in most cases. You hit extremes at high end, but that's such a small portion of the actual player base / enviroment that you shouldn't balance around it anyway

void hound
#

yeh

potent summit
void hound
#

people see 3 fire mages played by liquid and falsely conclude that fire is the best spec by far
when in reality, its more like 10% above other specs at best

limpid sage

10% is a lot tbf

trying to get good balance

I mean what do you expect balance wise to happen

#

Just a 20% buff to all rogue specs

hoary lotus
#

Yes

vale pine
#

pff

#

just buff sub by 30%

#

what could go wrong

hoary lotus
#

And nerf sin

west tide
#

guys i went to sleep and woke up and looked at logs and guys...i almost tricked myself into playing outlaw

#

last night

#

with a fresh mind i now see that it can only be maybe sin ill keep on playin sub

hoary lotus
#

Outlaw is bis. But ks soooo

west tide
#

sub is still ownin it on logs its competitive at least

west tide
#

u think sin the best now bro 😦

dry dune
#

which raid boss is good for review logs?

keen dome
#

Buff backstab by 100%

vale pine
#

i think default will be sin

keen dome
#

It'd still be useless but it'd be funny

vale pine
#

with sub on some fights

#

where timing can make sub a better fit

lucid jackal
#

Unless p2 timer shrinks to sub gets an extra cd over sin, sin will just be stronger

forsure ty my head is clear now with all of your help ❤️

hell naw i looked at the logs bro

pure jay
#

yea, outlaw bis bruh

west tide
#

naww

pure jay
#

we can make the jump together

west tide
#

its not the best maybe in farm ill play it ❤️

lucid jackal
#

It is the best

#

Just nobody plays it

pure jay
#

i might open my vault as outlaw

#

and if the best m+ wep is in there

west tide
#

dam fr bro? cause im just loookin at the chads who do play it

pure jay
#

i'll take it as a sign

west tide
#

and if anything its competitive

#

and some of the logs not all are with the pirate trinket on some top ones so few notches down im sure its good though

pure jay
#

can you use warcraft logs to analyze dummy tests?

west tide
#

just umm cant afford to friggin craft

#

im in prison

deep estuary
#

do we only hold shadowblades cause of premed? so after we backstab during dance we can use shadowblades?

void hound
#

cause i saw it and thouhgt "huh this could be good in this raid"

lucid jackal
#

I don't think u really talent it to it atm

#

Outlaw just does a lot of damage baseline

#

Talent into it for raid*

#

U can play it in keys

west tide
lucid jackal
#

Don't have weapon so yeah

#

Just gonna keep playing sub sin till farm

#

Next week is another craft so

west tide
#

my guild is way slower so i feel like i can do a chill swap but it just feels bad to craft and int...

lucid jackal
#

Issue is we probs kill oab this week

lucid jackal

Which means mugzee is next week

west tide
#

truee

lucid jackal
#

And that's a sin/sub fight

#

And then gally is easy af so it don't matter

#

can sin still spatter gooners?

im on sprocket it die this week

with the buffs its probably bis tho

for muggee

#

god mug zee is such a dog shit fight

lucid jackal

Depends if with nerfs you end up getting 1 vs 2 cd usages

void hound
#

you cheese every mechanic

lucid jackal
#

Baseline sin will probs be better

void hound
#

yeh

lucid jackal
#

Like if p2 becomes a 1:50 then sub just wins

#

Rn it's 2:45ish so sin is just better

#

2:45 + execute lust

pure jay
#

on rik when you save CD's for first wave of adds, do you pop flag on an add or time it so you just get the mastery from it and rest of the CD's on the adds?

would you still play trickster even if it was just for first pulls (and maybe boss) in brewery=?

lilac stag
#

You always play trickster as sub

strange sail
#

even on these massive pulls (with maybe funnel?)

lilac stag
#

See above

#

or play assa

#

You can do decent dmg in aoe, with prio target, no need to switch off trickster

alpine wraith
#

you dont want to do aoe as deathstalker trust me

glacial hinge
#

I tried the new tech, lasted a solid 2min before i gaveup on the perma target swap xD

alpine wraith
#

yea

#

i was going to do a key or two as DS to show people

#

but 10 mins in i was like fuck no

glacial hinge
#

Saw the vid, tested the numbers, felt like i was putting more work into the rotation then on the dungeon

strange sail
#

to apply the mark?
cant just evis anyway 😄

alpine wraith
#

you evis for snd sometimes yea

lilac stag
#

@alpine wraith if you put a video up. Take it down and replace it with rickroll

alpine wraith
#

it is already up for a while

glacial hinge
#

I felt like most pulls lasted less time i did evis of first few then used rest of cp on snd downtime

alpine wraith
#

but oh boi if they choose to buff DS again

#

instead of sub in general

lilac stag
#

Replace it with rickroll

alpine wraith
#

we are going on a warpath

#

#

Don’t put that shit out there

misty condor
#

Has the apl been updated or does charged plume still suck?

I wont say guy isnt right

#

Because objectively sub does its job excellently

#

Problem is it's not necessary

#

Never

lucid jackal
#

Wdym

vestal escarp
#

So RLs wont bother

#

Ansurek for example

#

Sub rog cleared platform one

#

And was the best at doing it

#

But it wasnt a make or break deal

lucid jackal
#

Uh

#

It kinda was early prog

vestal escarp
#

You could clear p1 without sub

versed hazel
#

Is it normal to be getting schooled on overall by fire mage and destro lock in floodgate 15

vestal escarp
#

Kek whats early prog? Week 3?

lucid jackal
#

Sub was needed early prog to blow up silken tombs and platform 1

#

This was also before sin buffs

versed hazel
#

like 2-3m dps difference

lucid jackal
#

Unless Ur comp was like 3 fury warriors

#

Like it all comes down to raid comp

#

But like on one armed bandit, sub does do something

#

Sin literally does nothing on the fight

alpine wraith
#

sin dies from the heal absorb and fire

#

that is something at least

lucid jackal
#

But like sin will be probably the most popular rogue spec either way

Absolutely.

Bm hunter is also the most popular hunter spec even when it's worse so

Opener is wrong, macroing symbols dance, cold blood on first sectec rather than 2nd

pure jay
lucid jackal
#

It's like 2% damage to do it 2nd

keen dome
#

Also, you didn't SecTec in your second Dance window in opener. That's a huge damage loss there. I recommend having a look at the opener guide on WoWhead.

pure jay
lucid jackal
#

That's the sectec with all the flag stacks

dry dune
#

Should I use vanish opener?

pure jay
keen dome
#

You can use either. But I'd recommend focusing on getting the cadence right (I.e., Anime-charged SecTec in both windows)

lucid jackal
keen dome
#

Minor optimisations are something to worry about later once you get comfy with the actual rotation in burst. Getting those SecTecs in both dance windows is really important

Isn´t there exception for coup?

lucid jackal

Nop

keen dome
#

You always, always SecTec in Dance.

Oki. Still fighting with so many buttons to press for CDs

keen dome
#

Yeah - it'll take a bit to get comfy. Just focus on the fundamentals and getting the cooldown window comfortably executed first.

#

optimisations can come later.

dry dune
#

so idealy devide symbols from dance and cold blood from sectech

keen dome
#

Personally I'd say do it one step at a time. Get comfortable using Dance / Symbols seperately and worry less about the CB / SecTec thing until you can execute the burst window comfortably

it be what it be, we have burst and ST. the dead time we do nothing. other specs without quite as high burst or st in keys, dont really get the dead time or nearly as low of dead time

vale pine
#

you absically want one active trinket always to make your big 90 sec damage windows stronger

#

there are only 3 trinkets for that

#

so you will always use one of these if you can

#

and the 2nd slot is very dynamic

#

you essentially can use most trinkets in it

#

and trinkets are not that far appart

#

so you essentially sim which one of the ones you got is the best

#

all the buffs did was make even more trinkets good in the 2nd slot
