so outlaw is the meta again?
how bad is it to macro symbols into dance (but still have symbols on a sep keybind for if u need to use a dry symbols somewhere...or is dry symbols not a thing)
Well every flag&blades you want to use dance seperately from symbols
So yes you can have them macroed if you have a seperate symbols bind and a seperate dance bind as well
ok so we dont need to line up symbols with dance too much? just have those both avail when flag/blades is up?
Well theyre used at the same time
Except when i mentioned
The second dance in your flag+blades
ah ok
And sometimes you want to send a solo symbols as well
But mostly theyre used at the same time
ok cool
What do if you have Tech and Dance up but no Symbols?, is it super dry Tech with nothing else or Dance+Tech?
with the cold blood opener optimization, we still just send cold blood with tech any time afterwards right? then just hold for second tech in blades/flag rota?
@hazy breach is it possible that the chance for dropping the tier set is rppm, I feel like quite often after doing your cooldowns with double dance it drops on the first evis outside of dance
you shouldn't let yourself get into this situation
iirc it can be very tight to get extra cast in between CDs and is neutral anyway so can be ignored
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I think we double checked it and it seemed fine during ptr
(ie being 15%)
I agree with your feeling but i think its just bias

You picked the one that is 1:1
Then dont track it 
Yeah I mean you don’t have to track it but it’s def nice to for some scenarios
It doesnt affect the gameplay anyway
is there a query you can do to see how many times it drops on logs
it just feels like its 15% chance but with a 'good luck protection' so if you have a fight with 100 eviscerates you will have 15 of them drop the stacks but it counts the ones in dance that shouldn't drop it if that makes sense
Still no wa that shows tiered stacks uptime
Hello boys, as a Sub which Hero Talents are better? Trickster seems to be more fast paced that deathstalker and with more damage output
i mean
they have their tier set 100%
when they press CD
it s like if u got 16 stack of sub tier set
when u press blade
it s jsut wa fetter
better
mage one is the same
u have more bust
and everytime u press bust
u got mor damage
100%
Currently trickster by a fair bit in all scenarios numerically
And gameplay wise its trickster by a large margin
Assa one is cool as well i think, the "if u lose u have a chance to keep it and +50% dam for X seconds", kinda cool i think 
Deathstalker is a cool concept, but the ingame hero tree does not deliver on that fantasy, especially not for sub
gameplay wise DS is fine as assa but nothing crazy also :d
cant be worse than fatebound, u dont track it u dont play arround it u just let it exists

Rotten or Brew? What do you suggest?
rotten
Thanks guys! I was having a hard time understanding what is the current state of Sub
TFD kinda has extra value because it makes it more likely to get you into your "post flag dance" without losing the tier set stacks
its like a 3rd dance
should be treated that way makes it way more simple to understand
Wdym
!burst
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.
Can someone remind me the theorical use of dances between cd?
2-1-2-1-etc ?
I think I remember some alternatives but I'm not sure
In a sim situation thats the move ye
hey everyone im recently starting to play sub from assa and i would like to know if in aoe im supposed to spread my rupture or just send it on my target
If youre not in dance you should generally spread ruptures on targets that arent dying within like 10s
But dont delay your flag+blades for it
tbh i dont know why subs 4p doesnt give you stacks
it just prevents you from losing the streak during dance
Alright so on pull in m+ I spread rupture like 2-3 times (or when tank stops) and then send?
Ye
Perfect thank you!
and idk i feel enhance has an ok one
less stacks and you get compensated if you lose your streak
A bit curious if bdk proccing ibf breaks them out of stuns
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ive been hearing a big diff in dung/boss rotation is that we use SoD before pull starts? Is there any explanation for this?
for ex. in m+ i assumine we spread ruptures before we select our flag target or pop dance/SoD so wouldnt we be wasted supercharger or rupture combo points
guys one question on aoe opener when you reach one mob at pulling for example is it ok to shadow strike and then after it use Flagellation and rapture itthen leave it and find another big guy and start opening your cds on it?
tyty
iam new on sub iam thinking first big fist pull sacred flame should i rapture mobs when we are moving long way?
dumb question but i see this in logs a lot in the opener. should your first sectec be before your shadowblades?
Yes, you can
the wowhead guide seems to indicate no but maybe im missing something
Rupture while tank gather the pull
only shurikan and back stap and rapture right?
Not a big diff, just the clones of sectec needs to be under shadow dance
awesome, thanks!
Yep, you smqsh cd at the moment mobs are packed
thanks alot m8
one more thing iam assa main you think is worth to change to sub ? playing 13-14 keys
Thanks for reminding me
Play what you pref, I play both spec at same level
I think sub is a bit better overall
But it's my personal opinion
sub is not good when the key lvl increases imo since assa will do the same dps on all the pulls
iam comfort with assa but i like sub playstyle thats why i have daubt
but with the high ST yeah it always caches others
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
so eye of kezan not bis or non-equip trinket is just very dependant on your gear/statspread atm
just going off the new sims in pinned
its good for longer fights or in m+ if you can keep uptime on it
good on long fights (5+ mins) otherwise goon squad
most of our trinkets are pretty even on 5mins (apart from transmitter/hoc slot)

@hazy breach new dslice build?
!wa
!wa
https://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/TWW2_Raid.html when did sub ST become so low compared to others...
Always was
Ye idk about it though, feels weird to play
Not good?
Probably is but not used to missing the symbols charge
But its like, using it because we changed the BP vs Evis threshold in sims
To instead of being 7+ targets
Its now 5 FWs up
Which is like giga cringe when you dont have rotten, so you need to track FWs
Or well, the change hasnt been pushed yet but fuu is using it in the sheet
Is it much better than what we've been using
It's in m+ only content for first dance. I struggle a lot with this talent. Before a boss the loaded reset always 1sec before
Oh ye when you pull the boss it always resets
Not really, because the first dance isnt working with reset in the sims and this cant really take first dance
So its kinda fake
1 depths perception is illegal
And tips to have first dance up before boss? And my point was sometime in middle of a pack ( not happen every time) when I vanish and continue to be in combat and fighting my first dance is loading and after 6 sec I can have it
That seems to only happen on specific mobs (like the void guys in rookery for example, but there are some other)
But idk you dont need to have it up, sometimes its better to just go immediately anyway
Yes but some run I feel to play without this talent cause chain pack
hrm i dunno if i'd be willing to run that build
i imagine it feels way worse to pllay
Then you should just not track it instead
There is 0 times where weaponmaster is going to be better in keys
That talent is absolutely worthless on aoe and completely horrible in ST

did blizzard change shadow dance or the subterfuge talent recently? I could've sworn in my last BG that I couldn't do shadowstrike even though I was in shadow dance.
Nop
sorry for asking a silly question, where can i find info on SoD rogue raid specs?

good morning :3
Can anyone send me macro for tricks of trade with nickname?
idk where to put my tank nickname
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
Not what you were asking for, but what youre looking for
<2+1 thank yoou
#showtooltip
/cast [@name] Tricks of the Trade```
would be with name
thats what i use for a few years now. just target your tank and press the first macro so it edits the usual @name macro. i never got the weakaura so idk whats better or faster but editing the macro by hand is a no go for me xdd
The WA is practically just removing that manual click to change the macro
thats not good, /run does not work in combat
you could use /target instead and it would work in combat
always have a mouseover somewhere keybound for fancy stuff
sth like
/target tank
/cast tricks
/targetlasttarget
nah i also use the same macro for stuff like Pi when im playing priest
tbf I just kicked tricks off my easily accessable bars anyways now with trickster
it edits my pi macro the same way
also this is only the setup macro
the tricks macro itself is just the usual macro
it just edits the name for me
Talking about PI
I just had a very nice parse invalidated because some drunken priests gave me PI
Stop giving sub PI 
sry to hear that brother 😦
so it only keeps it while youre holding down click on the tank?
guys about the use of shadow dance/symbols of death (I'm a very casdual player and I mostly refer in general/overworld):
I have the "preserving" spirit, as in I always try to preserve shadow dance and symbols for when things really get tough... bu taht won't work as these are actually bread and butter in a sub rogue rotation, so I wanted to know how you guys manage the thing?
cause I see shadow dance and symbols as some kind of "cd" when in truth they are not, so I'm baited into not using them most of the time and that's how I mostly struggle with encounters... then again when I do use them, then I have those dead times where I feel powerless and it's really frustrating
any advice?
I once had that on sin because someone gave me PI for the last 3s of the fight
and I already had PI from someone else

Anyone else struggling to get invites for keys as Sub? I apply almost exlusively to rio below mine and get 0 invites in mby 100 sign ups for 13s. I have 2 timed 13s and all 12s :/
its like that for every class in pugs apart from maybe healer-tank
people are too picky
I see. Thought maybe some of you had experience signing up in the same range as mage/boomie, DK etc
Seems like they fill up in every group tbh
its only logical "meta" clashes will get more invites
people alway copy what the top is doing
gotta play your own keys and try to network with other good players in your groups after you showed them that you are a good player
is there an easier way to sim what crafted item that i should make, other than to just manually gear compare all the slots where i can equip a crafted piece?
or give in and become a meta slave so you can play your favorite class after you reached high io on the meta specc before
top gear
and then i just add the name of the crafted gear?
ty
You can then press the "+" on the crafted items youve added to change embellishments/stats if you want to do that
Theres no reason to use gear compare really, adding an item into top gear does the same thing except its less prone to error (and the sim runs faster)
heyho guys, i got a question, when our burst is over in ST, how do we manage our sod and sd?
do i just send them until flag and our sb is at 30 sec cd?
Generally use them+sectech together when theyre ready up until ~30s before flag
ty
but sometimes, i dont generate cp and it feels very slow between cooldowns, is this normal?
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

In every game we have the same scenario, and around 40% doesnt even know what a skill/talent/Item do , or why that decision Has been made
Tho i mostly target this to people that pick "what's on top"
Not necessary on wow
Yes
And actually this can lead player on to stupid Path od no CDs on würst window
So as people here told me, just spam that backstab
What else you have to do
i totally agree but there is no solo q für m+ so you either acceot beeing in the tool for hours on end or play meta and atleast get to play the game.
And my dear sir I agree with you
there will always be guys playing off meta and perform good and get invites. but these guys put in the work to be known as good players for years
❤️
Beaides Dota 2 maybe, where meta doesnt even Play a role untill high rat
thank you, i love commands 😄 but didnt knoe sub git this 😄
Depends on the game
i could play boss mechanics 
definitly not in wow where devs on purpose unbalance classes seasons after seasons to force some classes to shine

that i would also agree
And from what my nephew said, also lol
Even on shooters on Battle royale style
Devs do it
brewmaster meta when 

Tbh I do meet brews
ATM 6 on m+
1 was bad
Or learning, dont want to judge
The rest
Had balls od steel
that was me i guess, i fucked up a pull yesterday, still cringing about it and what ppl think about brew 
thing about brew is that u can trust mordrim and equinox, others are... idk
Cinder?
haha no, i played prio
someone pulled third miniboss and i had to go all in, healer was mad at me
And a funny fury war zD
Ah
I know that obe
tbh, prio is super bad for everyone except tank, super crowded, super easy to add not on purpose
so i dont rly blame
Yup
but they blame me, i should just clear everything and play 130% 
Priory and rookery are those dungs you just want to get high, and avoid
Till rest od season 🤣
Tho on priory i had hilarious situation
With tozxic dh
Basicly every extra pull etc was out fault
Where he basicly jumped without any real idea where to go
Starter blaming warrior
The moment he died, i thought its over
Shield and go XD
Priest kept him easier than the shdh
pressure on tanks i guess 
Not a word
Till the end
Basicly guy showed him how bad he really is
But back to brews, they were all always super chill
I do imagine them alrdy in drunkeb fist state
At pc

we chill because we got nothing to lose, worst dmg, worst utility, worst survivalbility
Yet most of you survive shit you shouldnt on raid
they would prefere a rogue tank over brew nowdays 
XD
brew after tankbuster
Boss after seeing brew without a scratch drinki another Beer and taunting him to a brawl
Orcourse after tank SWAP
for some reason i have trouble matching my dummy sim dps // doing output comparable to to the best logs of similarly geared individuals and i am always more than 5% off, can someone watch a video of me hitting a dummy for like 5 minutes and tell me if im making any serious mistakes? i would have just logged a dummy session but it doesnt show up in wcl uploader and im unsure why
feel like im doing stuff at least 95% correct but my output is not matching up with that (its more like 90% output) so i would like to know if im making any errors im too stupid to recognize or if im some sort of dunning kruger guy
!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.
5% off means you're parsing 95s?
Or what are you comparing yourself to?
And ngl, not sure you'll find someone willing to watch 5min of you hitting a dummy
yeah was ideally if anything just hoping to confirm the flag windows arent bad, not asking for full 5min deep dive
im parsing 90s mostly and when i compare dummy details to dummy sim its like 6-7% off on a good amt of runs but sometimes its the same
im saying in my head i notice minor mistakes but i dont notice something thats 10% off
so i am asking if i am delusional or not
You should always calculate in your dps
exactly that margain
or between 2-5%
coz we're human
i was able to consistently do it on other specs but i am having trouble this time and i dont really know why
but yeah maybe some diff is ok
ah on dummy its actually quite often
we dont have many of the auras we do have in dungeons or raids
im using no raid buffs/consumables
and fixed time = 5m
well yeah but id like to be able to improve
bot plays with Spell Q on 0
and 0 ping
I actually never did good on dummies
im basicly training my muscle memory
and before raid
just chill
oh and 1m thing
remember that team
has to be on par with you
I had many runs where boss died around 20s before my next window (he should be long dead a minute ago
If you play and timers are in your favour (fight ends close to your flag window being over) you'll parse well
If you play well and timers aren't in your favour, you'll parse decent still
i still get like high purple if that happens so i am thinking that i must be making some mistakes im unaware of
like its just always high 80 or 90 except for a pink on stix because i just hit the adds really good
so i am convinced theres something im doing thats bad and i cant solve it myself
You probably do, but that might also be you not cleaving well enough
Like using your burst when there's no adds
yeah
i guess i can just try and go kill sprocket heroic and do a log review thread or something
well dummies are patchwerk too
You won't parse 99 on gally just by playing your rotation well
You have to time your stuff somewhat
yeah id just like to get at least a 95 on sprocket as opposed to a 90 or something
bc i think my gears good enough and it coems down to rotational errors
not counting the pulls where people do something psychotic with drills for intermission anyway
I feel like tier set rng is also quite the factor
I got lucky and parsed really well
Besides also finishing the fight at 3:15ish
oh im finishing at like 5mins since im just pugging
is that a big difference or is it about similar since its right after a flag window
It will be worse than after 3min for sure
But there still two fights with a cutoff after their third flag window in the top 50
yeah
im sure its a skill issue but i also dont know what my biggest problems are since it also seems to happen on a dummy where there arent any mechanics/uptime considerations (unless the dummy sim is evil and im just supposed to be like 50k off alot of the time)
ill just keep playing i guess and post next clear in here for log review if i cant figure it out by then]

should i be using flag a couple seconds before shadow blades?
to get to max mastery then benefit the most from blades?
Yes, but not like randomly a bit before. check out the opener in the guides for the exact sequence

@vale pine any reason why the radio chart on the wowhead stat prio page has versa weighted considerably higher than mastery?
Hey, im curious about the use of cold blood, are you meant to try fit in a cold blood between the cds right off cd or hold it for optimal damage, and if so, do you delay secret tech for 10 sec and combine it with dance symbols + cold blood?
both vers and mastery are almost identical, but i could make a update with the bis gear later or tomorrow
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
its all good, I am just struggling atm with my circlet giving either mastery or versa, since both stats are almost identical for me atm
you can use it inbetween but you need to use it exactly on cooldown, because any delay of CB means you need to delay flag (or miss out on cb during it)
reference
is the sim considering it the right way? like depending which stat was boosted by alchemical chaos, when ring was equipped etc? I feel like there could be so much variation
Yes
my feelycrafting was telling me to always let it proc mastery, but I'm not sure since atm the bot tells me to have higher versa than mastery
but do you want to sit on the dance + secret tech + symbol charge and line it up with cold blood or just send cold blood raw?
You dont lose anything by sitting on it
ok so its ideal to sit on the charge and wait for line up with cold blood?
yes, sim does consider stat dr etc
and just try get full cp before cold blood comes off cd? @hazy breach
or do you want to build up macabre stacks and send the cold blood w secret tech and symbols a bit later into dance?
No, first finisher as usual
wdym so send dance symbols backstab evisc shadowstrike and line up so cold blood comes off for the secret tech?
@hazy breach
What's the rationale behind sending sectec first in between? Forcing unseen blades to get a coup inside the dance?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
More unseen, more finisher damage
Sim just likes it more, eviscerates, unseen blade and strikes also do damage, its not only sectech
alright, updated the graph
slice is fine
Nice! Ty for your work
Personally, I'm timing dance on cb cooldown out of flag/sb windows, I dunno if it's better that sending dance/sod on cd and sit on cb
If you’re 10s or less away from your next symbols/dance and have an 8 stack of winning streak, is it worth not pressing any finishers so you get it in your cooldown window?
I would say yes
For a regular dance no
For flag+blades around 10s is when youd stop
Ultimately the chance to lose your stacks is pretty low
Hmm Trickster needs more crit
i cant make this work, is it bugged?
It’s only after you attack something and get the redirection itself
Not the initial application of tricks of the trade, which still expires
ok thanks

Hey! If I don't have Symbols or SD available when ST is coming off cd is it ever worth it to use it and pool the next symbol + sd until ST is off cd again ?
Why does cloak work on like zero mechanics this raid
on some fights it mitigates as always, but debuff stays
also keep in mind that cloak has a initial stronger effect, so timing of cloak matters
If anyone got time to check: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qPG7xRVgDpJa3Hhv?fight=67&type=casts&source=535&view=timeline and tell me what's very wrong with my rotation bcs I'm working since S2 on sub and i'm still very low dps, I already checked the guide by fuu and I think my opener is quite fine but idk seems shit, anyway ty for the one looking at it
Is it expected that dropping a few buffs in a dungeon slice (no shout, skyfury, rune) changes the balance of stats significantly? For reference: from full buffs and mast=~agi=~vers, it changes to mast>agi (~15% worse than mastery)>vers (~25% worse than mastery)
Sub is honestly so good on that fight
You can move cds around for when it’s important
interesting
am i crazy or can you just cookie once in a fight
Not crazy
too many cookies are bad for your health
Hi All, i have a question that i cant find a website to get info on, is there a % on the amount of mastery we have? like can i overcap mastery? im ilvl 653 and mastery is 78%, Vers is 13%, Crit is 20%, i understand i dont want more crit than vers.
% on stats do not matter
there is dr but combinations if you sim takes it into account
awesome, ty for that info
is there a simcraft command to hold vanish and not use it? i want to check how much dps that would lose

on myth rik, my 2nd sectec always seems to be 3 seconds off during the first barrel stacks consistently, am i missing a gcd possibly?
have you considered moving your cds by 3 seconds
I'm just starting to play sub rogue. Is there an ideal poison to use or is it just atrophic poison?
if you start your burst at 14 sec it will be up when the barrels spawn
is Zee thug hotline BIS for m+ and raid?
at x:14 you use flag sbaldes?
what cds do you use b4 that
or just fill in with bstabs for snd/rupture
hey guys, about to start prog on mythic stix, is there any rogue specific tricks/cd timings i should keep an eye on for this fight?
Not really, the add spawns pretty much line up with your CDs
Just make sure to cloak if the pylon goes on you
Do you hold your first sod and dance till 14? Or can you recover enough to send first dance on pull?
nvm
that 14s downtime made me have tank dmg
spread barrels that are getting almost oneshot
xd
yes you just afk get rupture up and snd
then you flag at 14
then go
your 2nd sectech comes when the barrels land
and ofc evasion the amp drop
so you can actually hit the boss
wtf you can evasion the amplification cast?
ya
If you get a soak at 1.40
It's joever
But that doesn't affect holding early anyway
Nah, just step the guy who’s on it, then step back
You can precloak soaks?
havent tried on M
Wait, do you have enough time to use second flag if you hold 14s at start?
Yep
Or do you use second flag after waves?
He immunes at 2.01
So you got exactly enough time for your entire shadow blade window
Pretty tight yikes
Just mute your raid lead from 1.40 onward in case he asks you to switch to some add in Africa 
do you have a WA for the current pull duration
Just any combat time wa
nvm i found one
Yeah
incredibly slow
other rogue get sick and im on bandit withnout any prep
any tips and tricsk
just as i took signet from vault 😄
Just take a break come back tomorrow
Doing it in one sitting is mental
Is target swapping during mini cds or major cds a dps loss in any way? I'm coming from sin and I've gotta rewire my brain a bit
yhea im getting near that limit
nearing the mental breakdown point
if your other target is fazed, has find weakness and your flagellation is already at 30 stacks then theres 0 dps loss
tyty
flag is not target specific
Play sub and hit adds
Don’t pop your second set of cds until after second add set so you can burst bombs down
Save vanish to make sure you don’t get fixate
That’s about it
today my rik damage is horrible
You do nothing else on the fight

oki
the damage part of it is isnt it?
so i dont pop cds during second adds?
although its negligable damage
No
oki ty
Rick is the reason I gotta learn sub lol.. My bomb damage as Sin is below the floor
Small adds that fixate and can’t be cc
You dont need to hit the mob with flag on with your eviscerates for the flag damage to go off no
Most importantly, SWAP to reel assistants
Do not cleave off boss
The entire fight is reel assistants
so you can throw your flag at any mob and you only need to make sure they dont die before 30 stacks correct?
okioki
yes
thats great, ty
Yep and now youll have a bunch of rogues playing assa because it has done more damage overall on the fight
Despite doing like 20% less damage to assistants than the sub parses
but muh sub allstar
I haven’t even looked at logs but that’s grim 
ehehe
it still hits the target you put it on even if you arent targeting it
Dps whoring on prog is always degen
Sub just gets to save a dance and do at least 40 mil even with 0 cds
Yeah they come after second set
Your group is gonna have to get good at killing assistants
as soon as reels die ?
It took us like 15 pulls to see them
It’s after the second set of reel assistants when you put in coins
Guild's starting Stix this week, I think Sin > Sub for Stix no? for prog at least
was doing good last time
we progged
Idk what your group damage is looking like but I’ve had to instantly go to the ranged add to hit it
All depends on comp sadly
thanks mate
U have to delay your CDs for add spawns
On pull use Flag when he casts first amplifier
U can use evasion to stay On Him at that time, it negates his dunk
That makes your beefed cb sectec align with first add spawns
After Flag window do 1 dance window, and hold the second dance window for next add spawns
so i dump all at boss and than 3rd dance at adds rtight?
there is no way i hold second dance in cds for adds?
not the best at sims and stuff but the if im simming the pvp trinket does it always use it with flag and blades?
If you do that, you can send your 2nd flag On CD and the 2nd cb sectec will Hit the last adds b4 intermission
Yes
thanks!
i see
well i mostly tried to push flag onto boss and run to far adds
Well yes you still use it for Boss, but the adds just melt away passively aswell

What are you farming it for?
Do your opener normally
You can save third dance for adds if necessary but again it depends on your comp
Sadly I can’t give a definitive answer for that
Hello ! 👋
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I should be working on to improve my DPS? I feel like I'm doing the right thing: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/x7vWDrh8NQcym1FB?fight=7&type=damage-done&source=16
The only thing you absolutely should do is swap to adds and make sure you send to delete the fixate adds that spawn after second set of assistants
Whether you need to hold a dance for assistants or what assistant you will be hitting is up to how many spriests and boomies you have
And destro locks I guess those guys are pretty good at assistants too
@vale pine is the most recent dslice sim supposed to be using tornado during the flag/blades dance window? looking at 3:11
opki
it is just not allowed to use it during dance,
how many seconds is it worth to press nothing when u have like 8 stacks of set up and all cds are coming up
or not evi to loose the stacks on st i mean
this is what im looking at for reference
Up! 👋
On ST, never
If there are adds you can hold
Until adds spawn
oh thats because there are a lot of targets
so the tset is just like completly ignore that it exists am i right about that ?
noted noted
is the reason its worth losing the global in dance for this to get the backstab danse stack on the sectech at that high of a target count? vs pressing tornado before the dance -> sectech /bp?
This is forcing no use in dance
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iGie4bBMwxtvuX2UyLyJep
Just send nado before the dance esp if you’re running finality over rotten
Although better yet probably don’t even run nado
That talent is terrible
Its synergy with trickster is in the negatives
And eats your rotten, and doesn’t work with blades so if pull isn’t big enough it eats sht
i am not on rogue much this tier i just like looking through the tc & sheets and asking questions
helps w understanding and sometimes catch stuff like the pvp trinket being good
We just killed Stix and I logged like omega garbo as I got ball twice near juicy flag windows
End me
hey is there a way to sim and force the apl to never use vanish?
You can log on farm
Logging parsing on prog is completely useless
So dw about it :)
is focusing lense the way to go for embellish or the linen?
wish me luck, starting stix prog tonight

I have 3 log
Cant be worse
Progging Bandit is absolute disgusting, when you dont class Stack
okay not a 3 but grey is grey is grey
I’m on stix next week, how’s Flagg windows like?
Yuck
hi The subtlety of the thief has collapsed in comparison to the others? A thief, right?
Auto att stack combo points
yes in sub you have two bars a basic combo bar and one where you stack your points)
no worries, a guildy had a zero today on second boss
!wa
does the circe ring accurately sim?
also if we have a higher ilevel ring to circe, we prio that right?

we play shuriken tornado now in m+?
progging bandit, can i cloak fixated add, or will it explode and dmg the raid?
need some tips with builders for 7+ targets. Do i shadow strike in dance until i have no unseen blades? Im honestly not entirely sure what i should be doing with the 7+ target count.
what should I replace first dance with for keys
If It'll never have a chance to proc due to forever chainpull
weaponmaster
thanks
as long as you are getting 1 proc every 10 minutes
its better than WM
Sorry this might be a really dumb question, but isnt Coup de grace consumed by eviscerate?
yes
oh so that right there is an eviscrate that shows up as a coup de grace?
I was getting it first pull and then never again, cause it kept resetting counter on bosses, so yeah weapon master it is then
y
thanks, makes sense then, was confused
np
after bosses you can just chill behind the tank
and let it reset
i cant think of many dungeons this tier where you can't get a TFD after the boss
When the delayed sectec hits go off, do they calculator your modifiers at the time of button press or when the actual delayed hits go off
when they hit
sectech doesn't snapshot
How long is the delay
Sometimes 2nd press i get like 2 procs in a row so I'm not sure if I'm losing 2nd hit if I press at like 1 second hoc remaining
sectech clones hit 1 and 1.3 seconds after the phys hit
Iirc you can keep playing the build we’ve been playing
So i need to hit st at 2 sec left
Or I lose dam
So if I get procs when I'm about to hit my 2nd st do I just not get dm stacks and send
you might be overthinking a little
send as sectec comes up
Overthinking what
u use sectech on cd
Yes
So no thinking needed. Just if its up its ur next finisher just use symbols for supercharger if u dont alr have it.
Sure, so the answer to my question is just skip the backstab for dm stacks
Since I have full cp
Ignore dm stacks
Ye tho should only really happen with tfd. Otherwise it likely won't be ur first global in ur second dance of the cd sequence
Treat dance rotation as conditions
Dm isn’t part of that
Just focus on making sure you can fit sectecs where you need to
Ye tracking DM hasn't been a thing since start of tww. I dont even have it on my WA anymore.
I couldn't tell u how many stacks I have ever
the only thing we do to min max DM stacks currently is using backstab during dance
other than that DM is just a byproduct of doing your rotation
Ye but since its the first builder in dance u dont really track anything related to it and just send
Can someone explain why my 658 Prized Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity is simming higher than my 665 Funhouse Lens?
main stat 
crit/haste 
Is it actually worth using in that case?
does the sims say it is?
Yes, 1.5% dps gain to use badge over lens, it was just very confusing to see that
sounds right to me
crit/haste sucks
thats not to say you should use an item 30 ilvl lower because it gives ver/mast instead
but just
listen to the sims
also because a lot of our damage comes from our burst
more burst damage
is better
Yeah I simmed it with dslice and patchwerk/1 and both say it's better
Is anyone else feeling a little lackluster in keys, I'm feeling like I'm doing the best I can with orange parses in 12-13's but i can't really keep up with some other specs rn
Nah I know I’m not there to farm overall, I’m there to decimate bosses and hit my burst windows
There’s some specs where you’re just gonna lose to if you’re equally geared and skilled
Is Jastor diamond simming low for other people? It’s pretty similar to my 558 top ring
I cant keep up with mages and boomkins in keys overall but on bosses im blasting
also locks have been pumping in my keys
imo currently at least for 11-12s the bosses are at like 15% when my flag/dance comes back so Im still on the fence on whether to spend my flag cooldowns if the boss is almost dead. noticed sometimes I can get a second full flag opener off but sometimes I use like "half the flag" and I feel its better to keep it for next pack after boss
I mean like Cinderbrew for example I am out of juice most of the time and hunters just keep going brrr
cinderbrew has like the largest mob pulls maybe excluding beginning of ML. I dont think we are supposed to keep up. We do melt tf out the second boss tho
on the honey side I can do a flag rotation maybe 2-3 times before I'pa and I try to time it with those big fat dudes that charge
For the amount of sweating I have to do it's pretty discouraging to stil have underwhelming damage sometimes idk
I think thats a slow burning realization for rogue. Im not too aware of the history of rogue/specs since this is my first xpac, but it definitely does not feel the high skill floor/ceiling is rewarded in dmg output, especially aoe
i already felt that when I saw ret pallys in S1 pumping absurd numbers in raid and m+ by doing 1,2,3,4 repeat
If you are expecting rogue to be a very easy high damage class then u should reroll
don't think anyone expects that but the effort you need to put in for average damage is rough
I see my damage in cinder brew being 200k or so lower than the frost mage, havoc, but then I swap it to bosses and I'm 1mill higher and all is good again
I don't think rogue does average damage in keys
Rogue does good damage in keys
Sub also is not that hard in its current state so idk
Effort to damage has never been a factor for wow balance so
U gotta like rogue for the vibe
If ur expecting effort to always relate to damage then ur gonna be perma disappointed
or u should just try assa
assa does crazy damage
warcraft logs down?
I mean, I play rogue for the vibe but it's an honest criticism. It feels pretty bad to be a neglected class. They reworked old acrobatic strikes into something dumb because the old version was a "dps talent", meanwhile Paladin can use their whole kit from the next zip code
Invigorating Shadowdust was a huge mistake and should never have been comitted
This xpac feels much better, but hero talents are wholly uninspired and were extremely buggy
OH WOW NOT HAVING FW UP DURING LOCKEN IS AMAZING
Acro was removed because they didn't want some melee to have +3 yards and others didn't
Paladin is a hybrid melee, that has a lot of ranged spells
Ret still needs to be in melee for a lot of its damage
LAST COOK
Bro is just clicking random talents 💯
Xd
AJAHJAHAHAAHA
THE idea was
silent storm
instead of rotten
to spread FW in aoe
what about now ? @lucid jackal
big cook
cooked too long its now burned
!fuu

i'll do it, i'll kill everyone
i'm trying out sin for a few pulls
see how it is
i honestly think i'd rather shoot myself than play that
respectfully 😉
this is good cook since u no longer play short SoD u dont need 3 charge
the best cook even
i accidently pressed step on the fight once
and luckily the boss was being tanked by the tank having opposite color to me
no one realised it
but i was sweating hard

Is it ok sending sod on pull? 14s late opener means u can recover sod charge just 11 secs after sending big cds (can max shadowcraft stacks and start cds at 14 charges)
What are you gonna SoD - a shadowstrike and a rupture? Not worth imo - better slam in more eviscerates in shadow dance
Being the only rogue aint too bad, two daggers from rik 
We have 2 rogues and 0 daggers
I new to sub and I am kinda confused about this "Coup de Grace if Fazed is up" so what you just use backstab until Fazed proc?
You do everything as usual minus using evis, you would BP or rupture instead to hold the coup
But you should SoD 30 sec before pull to ensure you have 2 charged combo points
As long as fazed is not up
U gonna charge shadowcraft charges till max (14) to start your dance with 3x back to back
I remember @alpine wraith mentioning something about 17s
On one if his vids
tnx for the info mate
U will end first dance with 3 secs left to recover first sod used
that is for 2 crits for rotten
Idk i swapped to unholy dk for pushing high keys - as rogue you list for 100 keys and get invited maybe once on 14+ level. on my dk I list for 100 keys and get invited to 15 of them
but the dmg increase is super minimal
the 2 superchargers you just SoD before the boss is pulled anytime
Whats the max pull timer where i send sod before pull
Like the bottom like of safely using sod and not using it at all
Just send it insta after release
Also doesnt the 2nd rot refresh its timer after you land sstrike on pull
Fair
Too many differentiating pull timers
20 is safe for not losing SoD
for those 2 rotten stacks
for superchargers just use a sod after reviving
17 is tight
hey what's the cookie cutter build for raid? single target or cleave
@tepid trellis Do you do anything special CD wise on Bandit?
You send on cd on bandit
Do not hold for p2 bc you only get 1 cd usage anyways in p2
you can move dances a bit in between cds to get reel assistants
but cds themselves kinda mesh well with the bombs
also you can vanish the fixate
just be fast so people dont get confused
also cant believe im benched on that boss
you mean wait with vanishing until everyone is close to hit them

We always do if we want but care, i think ad will fixate the closest player yo you
yea the idea is that if you are fast people dont go and try to hit them and suddenly get fixated
Seems worth tho cause sub cranks on those adds
what you consider the best approach for dealing with the adds. just cleave from boss or target one directly?
Swap if it's left/right otherwise stay boss if adds are dying on time
yo i can just macro my potions to Blades, right?
is there a youtube guide to fuu's sub guide?
😂😂
so to be fair i'm half chinese
and there is in mandarin something that sounds very close to the N word
which basically means "that thing over there/here"
but i dunno, that's sus
I liked the Shindigg one on YT
nah there's no way a chinese guy would name himself after niger haha
well who am i to say, maybe he could
Is subrogue playable on M+ this season?
playable, yes
not like the start of last season
where sub was a troll spec to play
yeah there's like 3 sin logs on bandit
rest are sub
but that 1 sin log like 400k dps higher than all the sub logs
Yeah it's sin time
Does it
but if you have plenty of dmg there it can be fine
yeah he's doing less reel assistant damage for sure
all the sub rogues are like middle of the pack there
the sin was like near bottom of the pack
i am prob going sin for mugzee though for sure
from the sounds of it sin just has everything you want on mugzee
imma watch that one and hacha's vid too. shindig was kinda complex for my pea brain
rewatch the shindig one rather
Which word
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
thats the spirit
Someone send help I'm like 3 ilvl below raid avg 😄
pray to the vault gods
Well that assa log is doing like 20% less damage to the assistants than the top sub log, and like 1/6 of the damage to the cc immune adds
And than they told me I'm in 5min before first pull
Assa might look good on logs, but its significantly worse at actually progressing the boss
So i stated gearing towards mugzee
