i'm so happy echoing reprimand is gone, i've been saying for years to remove it! 😛

thanks

#

Only use cold blood with SecTech while in Shadow Dance and Symbols of Death. I’d recommend if you’re just starting out, treat Cold Blood like a 1.5 min cd and only use it in ur Flag /Shadow Blade window

vagrant thorn
#

although to be fair, tornado USED to be clumsy because you had to integrate it with dance and not screw up a fast paced combo, if you now just use it during the down phase to casually spread some bleeds it should be quite easy right

hazy breach
#

Its still ass

#

Because it costs so much energy and feels odd

tepid trellis
#

Only thing sub needs is a slight single target dps buff, and for them to remove Shadowed finishers dependency on FW

hazy breach
#

The reason its not used with cds anymore is because we have shadowcraft, so if you use it during symbols youll get refunds which you will immediately waste by having the next tornado storm come in

#

The spell just doesnt work with the rest of our kit

vagrant thorn
#

makes sense

Unless it’s the first pull in Brew or Workshop

dense lichen
# languid trench oh ok cool thank you

The Weak Aura list above has a simple target tracker that will let you know how many enemies are in range so you can decide when to switch between Evis and Black Powder

languid trench
#

Ok thanks

languid trench
#

For now he look nice to play but more complex than outlaw haha

Get that muscle memory

#

Sub is low key the easiest rogue spec

vagrant thorn
dense lichen
#

I like ppl thinking we’re big brained

lucid jackal
#

the rest is just press backstab reapply rupture

#

Here is all of sub rogue

vagrant thorn
#

i think it's harder to get a pink parse as sub than fury

slate lantern
glass jasper
#

Hardest part is to resist sending that extra dance you know you should hold, but it just sits there and calls for your keypress

lucid jackal
#

On most fights u dont need to actually do any amount of thinking to go from a 85 to a 99

#

I mean even fights like rik reverb arent really "playing good" checks

#

its "does my guild suck/not have a ww" check

vagrant thorn
#

as a pugger the worst feeling is when the only monk leaves the raid

#

welp, there goes my parse

willow fulcrum
#

I been sending SecTec with Symbols in between Flag/SB cooldowns, without Dance when it's too close. That's fine yeah? (single target)

glass jasper
#

It should be fine

#

And will have sectec up again for burst also

#

So maybe not if you're 10-15 sec away from burst

willow fulcrum
#

yeah it's usually if I see I got about 30 secs until burst.

lucid jackal
#

ppl just overthink this spec

#

Cuz they think they have to mega mind it

vagrant thorn
#

lol 😛

alpine wraith
#

yea just get luckyt

#

get big crits

#

dont thing feel

glass jasper
#

For raid its pretty straightgforward and scripted I'd say

alpine wraith
#

still be 10th on details

#

no worries

glass jasper
#

M+ takes knowlegde and practice

alpine wraith
#

always show me

lucid jackal
#

What knowledge and practice do u need in keys lol

#

ITs the same set of rules

vagrant thorn
#

the best thing about this spec is when I see the tank gathering up a massive horde and I have everything ready I start laughing with anticipation of MEGABURST it feels so good -,-

alpine wraith
#

not really many places to get tfd on or get extra superchargers

lucid jackal
#

The knowledge is just "make sure you dont overlap cooldowns in low keys

alpine wraith
#

or know if you want to rupture more or less

glass jasper
#

To make sure you have big bursts for the packs you want it, pretty much

tepid trellis
alpine wraith
#

also look at your teammates and cds cadence

#

better if you can talk to them

#

worse if not

lucid jackal
alpine wraith
#

dont need overall

#

just need to time the key

vagrant thorn
lucid jackal
#

If ur just pugging 10s, 90% of the playerbase doesnt do damage and u can just cannablize their damage and it doesnt matter

#

If ur doing push keys, like actual high end keys, shit just lives forever and u dont even need to worry about overlapping

tepid trellis
lucid jackal
#

What "research" are u doing on oab

vagrant thorn
tepid trellis
#

no class in this game can out snipe sub if you line up your cds so your 2nd dance sectech lands when they spawn

lucid jackal
#

the research to delay symbols and dance ICANT

tepid trellis
#

you are thinking as a person playing at the level you are

dense lichen
#

Someone said the other day but the hardest part about Sub is just resisting the urge to pop SD and Symbols when Flag is almost off CD

lucid jackal
tepid trellis
#

the masses dont follow that

lucid jackal
#

like doing 10s with my guild on sub are becoming pain

#

Unless they are on rat alts

#

its ok sub will be interesting when dust comes back next patch 🙏

tepid trellis
#

like sure, if you raid at WR 100 or less, you know to delay stuff after 1-2 pulls on a fight

#

but somebody at wr 500-1000

#

wont make that connection

unless you tell them

worldly tinsel
#

Hey everyone, new to sub after maining Sin. I macro'd cold blood and Secret, should I also macro Symbols and dance together?

vagrant thorn
#

I do

#

but also keep just symbols separate

dense lichen
worldly tinsel
#

So you'll always want symbols when you use dance, but there will be times when dance isn't up and you'll still want sybols

vagrant thorn
dense lichen
#

But it’s T for SecTech and Shift + T for CB SecTech

vagrant thorn
#

aha so that would be R for me

#

;D

rustic pond
#

for me sectech is E and CB sectech is Shift E

worldly tinsel
#

excellent, tyty

vagrant thorn
dense lichen
#

But there are also situation where you may want to use Symbols and SecTech without SD up, but I usually only do that at the end of a boss fight or m+ key.

vagrant thorn
#

ideally you would never macro anything and execute everything perfectly like a robot, but it is what it is 😛

#

gotta streamline the gameplay a lil bit

rustic pond
#

yea macro are a great help to get into sub. And once you have the feel you can min max , even if you have to rework muscle memory

Different keybinds for Backstab and Shadowstrike for macabre then too, yeah?

#

Does this line read the way it's written, or is it supposed to mean "If all enemies are grouped, only apply rupture to the main target" ?

vagrant thorn
#

lol, I think it's supposed to be the way you said it 😛

torn sable
#

Yeah because the former would basically be implying that it's not worth it unless there's another target in range

#

But then there's an easier and less ambiguous way to write that

alpine wraith
#

you can apply rupture after cds

#

but you basically want to dance as soon as possible now

#

unless tank is grouping etc

torn sable
#

sup dino

alpine wraith
#

yo

vagrant thorn
#

tricks are to good, I love the fact that I can just abuse mobs while they run after the tank

alpine wraith
#

i dont think i've ran tricks once this expansion

vagrant thorn
#

omfg

#

🙂

alpine wraith
#

blackjack is just too good

vagrant thorn
#

and what amazing advantage do you gain with this blasphemy?

torn sable
#

But also, you're saying don't even bother with a single rupture if cds are up?

alpine wraith
#

you do one

#

as you already have snd running

#

you strike flag rupture

#

then dance

#

and even if you dont have snd you will get it on the first evis anyway

vale pine
#

but basically, if you have your targets grouped

#

you want to send cooldowns immidiatly

#

so you would only rupture once

#

but if your tank is still gathering mobs

torn sable
#

Yeah so it is the way I assumed

vale pine
#

you might use a few ruptures

torn sable
#

For others who are as picky about language as I am it might be better to reverse the word order in that sentence then lul

vale pine
#

and slightly delay your cooldowns to hit all targets

torn sable
#

Yeah that part was clear

vale pine
#

if you have ideas about better wording, any suggestion is welcome

torn sable
#

(I'm genuinely not trying to be difficult or anything)

from

Only apply Rupture to the main target if all enemies are grouped.

viral phoenix
#

is it optimal to send sec tech second on non cd dances?

alpine wraith
#

there is not much of a diff if you use coup first

#

but ideally you still use sec tech first

viral phoenix
#

Why is that? for the naked sec tech cooldown?

alpine wraith
#

well in dances what would you prefer to buff 1 sec tech

#

or 3 or 4 evis

#

also makes getting a coup in dance more likely

viral phoenix
#

Ah okay that makes sense

candid raven
#

My guild recommended me to use Plater. I've just used ElvUI before. Can anybody recommend a profile to go off of? I don't wanna bother with configuring everything myself and much rather use a prepared profile and tweak it if needed.

How is Sub on Stix and OAB?

rly good on stix

Cuz like I'm not a fan of assassination on those fights lol

Really good on oab

#

Sin is better on mugzee by far, gally is either or I think

viral phoenix
#

for bandit do you hold cds for a few seconds on pull for the coins?

#

i see the 2nd set is held to 1:40 for ads i believe and then its off cd?

lucid jackal
#

Cd's on cd

#

Push back symbols for when reel assistants come out

#

Rather than on cd

Jundies has some neat features like showing if and when your kick will be off CD during a cast

candid raven
#

Yea I know, but I turn off "Show Friendly Nameplates" in Plater, but it keeps turning back on

#

It says in the info box, that it is a cvar in the profile, but Idk how to change it

Like after 10s or so it just turns itself back on 😦

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.

vale pine
#

tornado is a filler

#

so correct, outside of cooldowns

vestal escarp
#

oh slice build has changed

#

oh bruh

vale pine
#

the dark brew build sims higher

#

I’m never playing nado idgaf

vestal escarp
#

naaah not the pv one perception

vale pine
#

but if you run the first dance, it is without tornado

vestal escarp
warped zodiac
#

i feel like i have to play nado in cinderbrew. the pulls r too big and i simply can not keep up

vale pine
#

the first dance builds are in general better

molten citrus

dark brew is something you can test in dungeons with low amounts of oppotunities to utialize the first dance

#

prolly

muted harness
#

ah makes sense if so

vale pine
#

you use storm to spread find weakness

molten citrus
#

To spread Find Weakness

muted harness
#

for the weakness spread?

#

ya

vale pine
#

you only do so because 7+ is the breakpoint to use black powder

muted harness
#

so it's just to refresh the find weakness just like the first storm?

#

or reapply rather

lusty swan
#

so because the rotten makes it 100% crit

#

it applies find weakness to everything

molten citrus
lusty swan
#

the first one before cds wont be 100% crit

safe orchid
vale pine
#

yes

#

strike is noticably stronger in output, so you would only use storm once to spread find weakness

safe orchid
#

tyvm

#

i've been doing that wrong

#

I came here to ask something , read a bit, completely forgot what my question was. lol

vale pine
#

you also would use storm always as 2nd builder for rotten

#

because of a bug where storm would consume rotten stacks per target hit and not per use

#

means if you would use storm first, both rotten stacks would be wasted

safe orchid
#

oh! I don't see people using shuriken tornado in murlock io

pastel rampart
#

omg! brew back! rotten dead! everyone press tornado while we wait for shadowdust return

fathom gazelle
#

outside of flag window , do we want our sd to have sec as 1st finisher even if u have coupe proc?

vale pine
#

it becomes relevant once you drop the first dance

safe orchid
#

ok, so any time i use symbols second generator should be storm so that i don't consume stacks per target and lose a stack of it

pastel rampart
#

on 7+ ye

safe orchid
#

I came in for one thing and i'm getting so much more info. ❤️ you're all awesome. tyvm.

pastel rampart
vale pine
#

you have higher trade offs

#

for the dark brew build

#

you would simply switch tornado to the first dance

#

the rotten build can take the first dance with lower trade offs

#

so while both are close in output if you use the first dance

#

rotten is slightly ahead and more dynamic due to the extra symbols charges

#

means, there is not that much reason to pick dark brew in combination with the first dance

pastel rampart
#

i see, thank you :D

median nacelle

might be dumb q, but whats the spell id to track the pvp trink

does symbols increase trinket dmg?

#

or not anymore

hazy breach
#

Nop

random hare
#

o interesting they fixed alot of those things this expac

vale pine
#

it does if you run PE

#

damage amps don't work on trinkets since bfa

random hare
#

what is pe

vale pine
#

planed execution

random hare
#

oh right

vale pine
#

increases your crit chance during symbols

random hare
#

ye

#

i mean

vale pine
#

but the crit increase is global

random hare
#

lingering works on the trinket

#

lingering darkness

vale pine
#

so your trinket crit is also higher

#

lingering is a exception

random hare
#

is it implemented in simc btw?

vale pine
#

basically DF added new talents which worked on items again

terse knoll
#

/m

vale pine
#

but 10.1 did remove most of it again

random hare
#

to force use this in lingering darkness

vale pine
#

TWW introduced some new ones

random hare
#

is this in sims?

#

maybe the sin guys know

#

might be different there

#

oh

vale pine
#

the damage is correctly changed in sims from shadow damage sources

random hare
#

it is

#

use_item,name=junkmaestros_mega_magnet,if=cooldown.deathmark.remains>=30&!dot.deathmark.ticking&(!talent.deathstalkers_mark|buff.lingering_darkness.remains<10)|fight_remains<=10

hazy breach
#

I dont think the magnet does shadow damage in sims

#

Because it didnt matter when i tried changing it

#

And it should

#

But then again, deathstalker way behind anyway

random hare
#

ye just a sin thing im asking for

#

dude ngl

#

sub needs to get their nerfs reverted

#

we seemed op as hell because of transmitter when ppl had no trinkets

vale pine
#

probably, unlikely to happen

tepid trellis
#

our numbers are slowly going down

vale pine
#

because we use 2 week of data

#

it s dooming time

vale pine
#

not rly dooming, just stating what is happening

i thought rogue was good but eh, it s just going down like not scaling at all while others get buffs and stats idk how and why

#

🤷‍♂️

vale pine
#

scaling is a meme

paper iron
#

We re not even the best burst spec

#

it s bizarre

vale pine
#

i mean we got nerfed

#

because blizz took pre raid statistics from the old tier to balance

because i don't think i ever managed to have a meaningful balancing discussion

#

it is what it is

🤷‍♂️

#

guess we hope for buffs in .5

#

i was pretty sure we were in a good spoot but with the latest patch and how the things looks, it would be very bizarre

final holly
#

Do any of the other bursty specs have as much fine control and consistency over their burst? I feel like that's worth something at least

Hey I am only playing outlaw but am reaching 14/15s keys where I will be too much of a liability in meadery playing capped outlaw so I decided to check out sub again. I played a bit of sub in SL S1, but usually only played outlaw with the usual breaks of 6-12 months once game got boring.

Is there any information that kind of gets to the point on basic gearing and general rotation or should I just read up the guides linked in the FAQ channel? 😅

#

If you wanna stick outlaw that is

untold tusk
#

is assa that much better in m+`? I thought sub was pretty good rn?

#

or is assa just ezpz 😄

#

Assa is kinda king in meadery

#

How big does sin go on first pull. I topped out around d 25mil before dropping g off

hazy breach
#

Sin doesnt drop off

#

But its not 25

Yeah usually end the pull at around 17-18m

But if it's 10 steady that's uge

okay so I guess I'll just check out assa then thanks 🙂

plush roost
#

Still sub is good so dont let me shy u away :p

#

Has its moments

hazy breach
#

I do think that sub is better than people think im m+

untold tusk
#

I mean if I gotta learn a spec I might just go with the better one

#

I would just start in first room and then swap back to law

hazy breach
#

But for meadery specifically assa is def the way to go

untold tusk
#

And I guess sub has changed a lot since I played it in SL S1

plush roost
#

Yeah then assa is probably the way

untold tusk
#

So its not like I would safe a lot of time because I know shit

Thanks, I'll annoy people in the assa chat then Comfy

Heya whats the most strong spec atm M+ pushing ? sub or assa ? i seen sometime ppl play on sub and assa but idk what the real thing about switch and why ?

paper iron

aoe / most cases assa. ST / Low target cleave sub

to do simple

so can be top workshop sub, then assa Surebud

i was first of the key

when i seen other rogues doing 4m2 ,

or even outlaw 4.8

#

idk how they reach that bro

#

its make no sens

paper iron
#

they play better

#

nothing else to say

#

not only as a player, but as a group probably

if you re first at 3.7 it means other are low low and so packs live for too long and blablabla

yeah then you wasted all your cd's but you still have shadow dance

rocky ocean
bleak night
#

well the point being a large amount of your damage is in that second sectec

#

so if you arent getting that off before things die your overall suffers in low keys

in some boss fights with more mechanics are you noticing that shadow blades falls off before your secod sec tech because you really only have a 2-3 second window to get line up the second sec tech with shadow blades

Nope, no downsides

Thats why its recommended

It only goes to 658 though

But still better than hc transmitter usually, slightly worse than mythic transmitter in sims typically but still good since its less effort

Positioning?

paper iron

not pressing the right buttons

basically

#

you have 3 buttons

but 12 procs

#

positionning must be involved when we start talking about cleave

#

and also rng crit, if you double crit your dragonrage, you do 11m dps opener, if not, you do 4m. (in single target)

from what told me our devoker

Cool that is what I was thinking! I also have a question about the second SB of a fight (or 3rd/4th if it is forever LOL). About 45ish seconds out I have a thing where I only have one charge of Symbol, Secret and dance are off CD. Right now I am holding Secret, Dance, and Symbol so that I can have 2 full Dance windows in SB. Is that the play, or is there enough time to yolo a Dance/Secret combo without Symbol so that I can still have the 2 charges of Symbol going into the big cd?

hazy breach
#

45s is usually enough

#

Its ~25ish where you stop sending

alpine wraith
#

yea that is one of those 2 dances in between cds

#

if it is the 3rd one

strange shore
#

Copy that! Still with Symbol if it is before 45?

alpine wraith
#

yea you will get another

#

then the second one will charge while you are on cds

#

you dan use flag when you have like 1 charge and like 10 secs or so left of the second one

# limpid mica Hello here are my sim and log from dummy can You please help me and tell, what i...

Your opener is wrong.

It should be shadowstrike - Flag - Rupture then going into shadow dance. YOur backstab needs to be inside of shadow dance for it to be a dps gain because of danse macbre.

Your symbols should only be used to supercharge secret technique.

I recommend you open the wowhead guide and read the opener because the entirety of subtelty rogue is p much the opener. Once you've mastered that, everything falls into place relatively smoothly.
