whats a good % for simming realistically with dusk lining uptime purely for dungeon slice m+ only? default 60%? higher?

#

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)

hazy breach
#

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

tame terrace
#

ok so we dont need to line up symbols with dance too much? just have those both avail when flag/blades is up?

hazy breach
#

Well theyre used at the same time

#

Except when i mentioned

#

The second dance in your flag+blades

tame terrace
#

ah ok

hazy breach
#

And sometimes you want to send a solo symbols as well

#

But mostly theyre used at the same time

tame terrace
#

ok cool

lilac plume
#

What do if you have Tech and Dance up but no Symbols?, is it super dry Tech with nothing else or Dance+Tech?

tame terrace
#

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

I agree with your feeling but i think its just bias

Wished sub tier worked like some other melee

Shit feels awful

Erm

Sure but it's among the less annoying ones Laughge

I think it’s among the most annoying ones

#

Losing your stacks before cds is awful

Press rupture (it doesnt matter)

Can’t say this isn’t just better design

we dont play around coup really right

just the fazed stuff

vestal escarp
hazy breach
ashen terrace
#

Yeah I mean you don’t have to track it but it’s def nice to for some scenarios

hazy breach
#

It doesnt affect the gameplay anyway

bleak wind
#

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

vestal escarp
#

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

paper iron
#

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

ashen terrace
#

Yeah that’s what I’m saying

#

It’s just better design

paper iron
#

mage one is the same

#

u have more bust

#

and everytime u press bust

#

u got mor damage

#

100%

hazy breach
#

And gameplay wise its trickster by a large margin

paper iron
#

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 happy_holiday_pepe

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker is a cool concept, but the ingame hero tree does not deliver on that fantasy, especially not for sub

paper iron
#

gameplay wise DS is fine as assa but nothing crazy also :d

vale pine
#

deathstalker is worse gameplay wise

#

tho it is more classic game deisgn

paper iron
#

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?

vale pine

Thanks guys! I was having a hard time understanding what is the current state of Sub

hollow spear
#

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

steel zinc
#

should be treated that way makes it way more simple to understand

#

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?

I think I remember some alternatives but I'm not sure

#

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

hazy breach
#

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

shrewd lantern
#

tbh i dont know why subs 4p doesnt give you stacks

#

it just prevents you from losing the streak during dance

regal valve
hazy breach
#

Ye

regal valve
#

Perfect thank you!

shrewd lantern
#

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

#

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

hazy breach
#

Its more a case of why not

#

you dont lose anything

honest brook
#

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?

Yep

#

No need to put all you cd on the main target

honest brook
#

iam new on sub iam thinking first big fist pull sacred flame should i rapture mobs when we are moving long way?

obsidian garnet
#

dumb question but i see this in logs a lot in the opener. should your first sectec be before your shadowblades?

But its like, using it because we changed the BP vs Evis threshold in sims

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

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

i imagine it feels way worse to pllay

Then you should just not track it instead

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

hazy breach
#

The WA is practically just removing that manual click to change the macro

vale pine
#

thats not good, /run does not work in combat

young trench

ye i do it once before the key

or whenever a new tank joins

you could use /target instead and it would work in combat

nah i also use the same macro for stuff like Pi when im playing priest

it edits my pi macro the same way

I just do it manually once

no other fancy stuff

also this is only the setup macro

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?

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 :/

upbeat escarp
#

its like that for every class in pugs apart from maybe healer-tank

#

people are too picky

surreal wigeon
#

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

upbeat escarp
#

its only logical "meta" clashes will get more invites

young trench
#

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

open coyote
#

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?

young trench
#

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

young trench
#

that section in top gear

open coyote
young trench
#

yes

#

or any other item you wanna sim

open coyote

hazy breach
#

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?

hazy breach

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?

paper iron
#

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

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".

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

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.
hollow spear
#

Or what are you comparing yourself to?

#

And ngl, not sure you'll find someone willing to watch 5min of you hitting a dummy

maiden oar
#

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

muted birch
#

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

and fixed time = 5m

then well

#

and you're only human

maiden oar
#

well yeah but id like to be able to improve

muted birch
#

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

hollow spear
#

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

maiden oar
#

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

hollow spear
#

You probably do, but that might also be you not cleaving well enough

#

Like using your burst when there's no adds

maiden oar
#

yeah

#

i guess i can just try and go kill sprocket heroic and do a log review thread or something

hollow spear
#

You'll have more success with that

#

But then again: sprocket is patchwerk

maiden oar
#

well dummies are patchwerk too

hollow spear
#

You won't parse 99 on gally just by playing your rotation well

#

You have to time your stuff somewhat

maiden oar
#

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

hollow spear
#

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

maiden oar
#

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

hollow spear
#

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

maiden oar
#

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]

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?

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

#

You dont lose anything by sitting on it

marsh aspen
#

ok so its ideal to sit on the charge and wait for line up with cold blood?

vale pine
marsh aspen
#

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

marsh aspen
#

wdym so send dance symbols backstab evisc shadowstrike and line up so cold blood comes off for the secret tech?

@hazy breach

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

hazy breach
#

For a regular dance no

#

For flag+blades around 10s is when youd stop

Depending on route

If you go straight to Boss then its just normal start

You apply 5-6rups

haven't tried doing that tbh

I'll give it a shot next time

Rup also benefits from burst window

solar geode
#

oh really?

muted birch
#

Yes

#

Flat line bleed dmg rises coz of % dmg inc

#

Shadow dmg also

i see

#

do you have to apply the ruptures during the burst window or no?

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

vale pine
#

it works on some, but its always hit or miss

#

typical rogue problem

muted birch
#

on some fights it mitigates as always, but debuff stays

vale pine
#

also keep in mind that cloak has a initial stronger effect, so timing of cloak matters

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)

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.

there is dr but combinations if you sim takes it into account

or just fill in with bstabs for snd/rupture

you do nothing

just afk for the first 14sec

ill try that rq

is 14s when the first amplifier drops?

cunning turret
#

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?

chrome palm
#

Not really, the add spawns pretty much line up with your CDs

#

Just make sure to cloak if the pylon goes on you

kind bluff
#

Do you hold your first sod and dance till 14? Or can you recover enough to send first dance on pull?

wild hornet
#

nvm

#

that 14s downtime made me have tank dmg

#

spread barrels that are getting almost oneshot

#

xd

tepid trellis
#

you still get the same amount of cds in p1

#

but you do you

tepid trellis
#

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

edgy zenith
#

wtf you can evasion the amplification cast?

alpine wraith
#

ya

hollow spear
#

If you get a soak at 1.40

#

It's joever

#

But that doesn't affect holding early anyway

alpine wraith
#

pre cloak that one

#

so it cant go on you

edgy zenith
#

Nah, just step the guy who’s on it, then step back

hollow spear
#

You can precloak soaks?

alpine wraith
#

havent tried on M

edgy zenith
#

Wait, do you have enough time to use second flag if you hold 14s at start?

hollow spear
#

Yep

edgy zenith
#

Or do you use second flag after waves?

hollow spear
#

He immunes at 2.01

#

So you got exactly enough time for your entire shadow blade window

edgy zenith
#

Pretty tight yikes

Just mute your raid lead from 1.40 onward in case he asks you to switch to some add in Africa garf_sit

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

damn i did not even see those small adds yet

and im holding for them

#

Yeah they come after second set

#

Your group is gonna have to get good at killing assistants

clever delta
#

as soon as reels die ?

left ledge

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

wild hornet
#

we progged

left ledge
#

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

wild hornet
#

now for some reason im kinda sitting like that

clever delta
#

thanks mate

left ledge
#

Yep good luck

#

Once you guys get the hang of the assistants the boss just falls over

proven plover
#

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

clever delta
#

there is no way i hold second dance in cds for adds?

hard inlet
#

not the best at sims and stuff but the if im simming the pvp trinket does it always use it with flag and blades?

proven plover
#

If you do that, you can send your 2nd flag On CD and the 2nd cb sectec will Hit the last adds b4 intermission

hard inlet
wild hornet
#

well i mostly tried to push flag onto boss and run to far adds

proven plover
#

Well yes you still use it for Boss, but the adds just melt away passively aswell

pastel rampart

wicked joltBOT
hollow spear
left ledge
#

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

viscid rune
left ledge
#

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

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

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

swift tinsel
#

sectech clones hit 1 and 1.3 seconds after the phys hit

molten citrus
hoary lotus
#

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

tribal blade
#

send as sectec comes up

hoary lotus
#

Overthinking what

cobalt vector
#

u use sectech on cd

hoary lotus
#

Yes

cobalt vector
#

So no thinking needed. Just if its up its ur next finisher just use symbols for supercharger if u dont alr have it.

hoary lotus
#

Sure, so the answer to my question is just skip the backstab for dm stacks

#

Since I have full cp

left ledge
#

Ignore dm stacks

cobalt vector
#

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

left ledge
#

Treat dance rotation as conditions

#

Dm isn’t part of that

#

Just focus on making sure you can fit sectecs where you need to

cobalt vector
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

cobalt vector
#

Ye but since its the first builder in dance u dont really track anything related to it and just send

misty condor
#

Can someone explain why my 658 Prized Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity is simming higher than my 665 Funhouse Lens?

misty condor
#

Is it actually worth using in that case?

short radish
#

does the sims say it is?

misty condor
#

Yes, 1.5% dps gain to use badge over lens, it was just very confusing to see that

cobalt vector
#

sounds right to me

short radish
#

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

misty condor
#

Yeah I simmed it with dslice and patchwerk/1 and both say it's better

short radish
#

haste gives nothing to us

#

crit is also kinda whatever since we have cold blood

marble ledge
#

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

swift tinsel
#

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

boreal finch
#

Is Jastor diamond simming low for other people? It’s pretty similar to my 558 top ring

thick temple
#

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

marble ledge
#

I mean like Cinderbrew for example I am out of juice most of the time and hunters just keep going brrr

thick temple
#

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

marble ledge
#

For the amount of sweating I have to do it's pretty discouraging to stil have underwhelming damage sometimes idk

thick temple
#

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

lucid jackal
#

If you are expecting rogue to be a very easy high damage class then u should reroll

flint viper
#

don't think anyone expects that but the effort you need to put in for average damage is rough

hexed sluice
#

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

lucid jackal
#

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

spare quiver
#

warcraft logs down?

misty condor
#

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

tribal blade
#

OH WOW NOT HAVING FW UP DURING LOCKEN IS AMAZING

tepid trellis
#

step the boss

@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

alpine wraith
#

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

#

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?

unless you have quite a bit of lock/sp/evoker

but if you have plenty of dmg there it can be fine

yeah he's doing less reel assistant damage for sure
