- Feral is good
- Sub is not consistent dmg. Cds pop. Outside of them it’s healer dps.
you should pvp for the the 700 conq badge if you’re not raiding
Yeah I had that but I just got a champion track house of cards from the timewalking quest ahah xD
My sim for dungeon slice tho is close to 3.6mil but my feral mates is like 3.3 and hes still hard stomping everyone in dungeons?
We are 3k rating atm if that helps, like we arent super bad or anything xD
Do you guys plan to swap for assa after buffs for mythic prog? im kinda not sure if its worthwhile but on logs they look a bit better
Floodgate first pull I usually end up around 10million.
Yeah I burst like 11mil on big packs but it quickly drops down to like 6 or 7
Play what you enjoy. Each has its strengths.
and bps/evis with shadowcraft
10 million is fine but you will drop hard if the mobs dont die fast. In Flood our overall dmg just sucks
Or if all your gear drops favor assa, play it.
Even on single target this patch ive noticed Im not miles ahead of everyone else on bosses, and falling off pretty quickly
3million overall sucks?
Last season boss fights were my jam xD
Yes it sucks hard compared to other classes
if you go Assa you are someting around 4,5 - 5 mio overall
Im somewhat close gearwise, just recraft stuff
I'm mostly concerned if im trolling my guild by not playing assa rn
Nahh I always play sub, i love the spec played it since like cata
Interesting that sin is doing more damage on OAB than sub now....
i love it too but if you want to push higher keys you just make it harder for you group in some dungeons
i hate playing Assa its the biggest shit ive ever played but in 3 Dungeons you have to if you dont want to be an affix for your group 😄
I play with 2 mates and tbh dmg hasnt really stopped us pushing, its more us doing something silly and caking the key
I just tell the tank to pull bigger
Gg
We got pretty high in shadowlands with my mate playing feral and they literally had 0 aoe buttons xD it was almost like he was griefing every key
yes but if you have more dmg = faster = more room for mistakes and even time it
If you’re playing the specs equally as well than no you’re not trolling.
We are at 3k rating atm and we dont have any issues with time on +12s. We arent looking to push like top 0.1% or anything
I would love to just stick on sub for every key but it feels so shit when you come out of your Floodgate with 3,6 mio overall and the next DD sits there with over 4,6 mio
Yes i speak more about the higher keys like 14-16
I'll always play sub, I was just wondering if its a me being bad thing or not xD
guys is gladiators badge of ferocity worth to get?
if you dont have transmitter/house of cards yes, otherwise no
ye anlaky on both
okay thanks ill stay with sub:3
And since Assa have also a good prio dmg there is no point byside of fun to stick on subrogue if you really want to push for seasontitle or something. Just make things harder, thats my point 😄
I hope we will get a buff with 11.5 since our raidperformance and m+ performance falls behind (pray) 🙏
Nah we aint that sweaty aha. We just play the specs we love and try and do our best and see where we end up. been doing that since legion m+ and its always been fun for us. I think getting to 3k is still pretty decent compared to the rest
I kinda wish they would make nimble flurry reduced dmg beyond 8 so we didnt have to use BP and keep with that fantasy but thats just me
Yeah ok then you can stick on sub for sure 🙂
Or buff bp that it feels good in bigpulls to press the button
Yeah thats another option
Or have flawless fall off less xD Ive noticed if that falls of for like 2 seconds ur damage drops a fair bit xD
So why would my sim dmg be so much higher than others but in reality theyre doing more? Is it just the timing of the sim ends in a burst window or something?
I only use simming to see which gear i should wear. The "dmg" numbers are just fake in my opinion 😄
My subrogue also sims higher then my Assa but this will never happen in some dungeons so idk what it is simming in Dungeon Slice
Makes sense but wouldnt that mean technically the gear its saying is better could be wrong?
In dslice assa doesn’t sim sudden demise properly (if memory serves right) and sub doesn’t sim TFD properly.
So take it with a pinch of 
Ahhh of course, its probably got TFD for every pull aye?
It has it for 1 the entire dungeon
In both missing bits, they should be higher
assa takes advantage of good chain pulling and just keeps going
in good chainpulling you said it 😄
i hate it when the mob has 1% health and the tank is chaning the next group
do you send second dance in shadowblades without a finisher inbetween to keep stacks?
or do you dance before pressing symbols again i guess you should do that instead
I think sometimes there is a finisher in between and it would drop the winning streak stacks
I dunno i dont really watch the winning streak stacks tbh
but you could dance without symbols for the second dance to do one finisher before activating second symbols right which solves the problem
but idk if thats a loss of any sort
Yeah i dont watch the stacks I just let it do its thing I dont think its much of a difference to worry about
again im not looking to be the best or anything
So something like that i wouldnt bother with too much, but i dont think thats going to give me and extra 10% across a dungeon
I just turned that aura off in my WA
the brainpower it takes me to minmax stuff in my head
takes away from actually doing dam
am lost between HC jaster or mythic track legs from vault
Probably jastor, you have way more opportunities to get myth track legs vs getting another jastor in vault or winning it in raid (unless your guild assigns loot and you’ll get it soonish)
how big is forced induction
big
How big
sim it
This will ring in my head next time my tank runs ahead with creepers and their flock outside of the light right as i pop flag in the DFC cart event
Yeah I feel like id just make more mistakes cause im watching that and not looking at the actual game and just end up in a worse position xD The diff I feel isnt even really noticible
haha ^^
You should see my feral mate pop typhoon right as I sec tec and blow everyone away for the 2nd part xD
Ah the real dungeon affix
And when we have a shadowpriest he sees the shadowcrash and thinks "this is my moment"
Its really funny when it doesnt happen to you, its really sad when it happens to you
Intermission + p2 boss
Bro was doing like 20% more than the top public log 
nice ok
Any logs homies that could help a brother out? I just feel like im missing something
!logs
I've got 98 and 99 on every fight but for some reason I can't seem to pull more than a 94 on vexie. Seems like a flawless run and just am not able to push to that next level.

Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
Im just trying to get in the 90s lol
Are you standing near enough adds with your nimble during the intermission?
And also you ideally want others to not do much to them, but thats often a "it is what it is" situation
am sitting at 25k mastery unbuffed now, should i try to bring it down to 20k to avoid DR?
Nah, if the sim says mastery go mastery
do i use the stat weight sims on raidbots to know if i need more or less mastery?
Top gear
Is sectec based off of me? Or the mob I'm hitting? Area wise?
The mob
It being around the mob kinda sucks sometimes
Like on carnage, you can cleave nimble
But sectech wont ever cleave because theyre too far away
Could greed and stand next to mobs that are in oil lol. I've been trying to be kind to my healers
just splatter
Spatter is green ignite
spatter works during the clash i guess yea
Whats the range on the sectec aoe from the mob?
My Avg cast dmg seems low compared to other logs. Is that just me fucking up SoD and dance?
Compared to random log im looking at
is ur warrior dead or what
He did a prison
, when a warrior goes straight to prison
Are you
Using SOD to buff sectec
Using cold blood
Does gloomblade work with nimble ?
For the most part yes. I did have CB macro'd to sectec but took it off recently to try and maximize it with the 2nd one in the opener
I honestly think my opener is mostly fine I feel like i fall off between CDs
That could be it
Yk your second sectec
In big windows
Are you ensuring it’s within your 2 gcd from symbols
Yeah it should look like this mainly right? (Forgot the CB here though)
This was the 2nd...again fucked up CB. Got to used to it being macro'd
By using symbols prepull, is that with the intention of the supercharged combo points or for to have the damage buff + the rotten active during opener before SD?
superchargers
Supercharged points
Its not right before pull
yea just use sod as you ress
Oh perfect that’s what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure. Follow up, I see guides saying use evis as first finisher and then rupture as the flagellation starter before going into SD. Do I have it backwards?
you either
strike-flag-rupture-dance-backstab-secret-...
or
strike-flag-evis-vanish-strike-rupture-dance-backstab-secret
both is perfectly fine in the opener
how much earlier ?
I’ve basically been hitting flag-finisher-cooldowns
Yes that the same for me. Flag, finisher, cooldowns
Hmmmm been delaying mine then...I've been strike > rup > van > strike > flag > CDs
So instead of getting one finisher before CD’s after flag, I can fit two?
the diffrence is timing
doing strike-flag-rupture-dance
is faster, and it means you have a easier time fitting cooldowns on many fights or on packs in m+
doing a vanish is fine but delays your cooldown use for 2 gcds
I see. I’ve been using vanish in between 1st & 2nd dance to bring Secret Technique up faster
I suppose that’s a misplay
how do u use 2min cd trinket if u dont have cards or similar?
on cd or every 3 min?
between the first 2 dances, yeah thats not great, you relly wanna back 2 back dance during flag
tthx
Nothing is bad for sub on that fight, it's just sin is 50x better than the other 2 specs on the fight
U hold DPS in p1 so P1 damage kinda doesn't matter. Spatter hits the goons in the prison that flurry can't hit. You get 2 cooldowns on sin, both of which being in execute, one of which being with lust
It's just such an insane sin fight
best way to explain it is, Sub is better in p1, Assa is better in p2 but with how the fight is now how good you are in p1 doesent matter, only dmg that really matters is sub 40%
Theres a lot of fights where "it doesnt matter what u play"
more so than what most people assume
But mugzee is like, such an obvious sin fight
Sin is just, so, so much better than the other 2 on mugzee
it wont make or break mug'zee prog on which one you decide to play
that's just for mythic, ya? heroic doesnt really matter i can sub life it
but assa does help more than sub will
Mythic convo yeh
Uhhhh
It kinda will
guilds die to enrage still
no
U need P2 damage
it will not
Yeah and if everybody plays perfect they'd be in liquid
then why bring a rogue at all?
Sin is also very good at goon damage throughout the fight
Ok
is there one boss you would bring rogue over something else?
i am not saying rogue is bad, but i don't think its mandatory
My guild doesn't have a rogue ATM 🫠
if it wasent for the debuff, no i dont think so

Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
how do you go about determining if ephemeral bond or exilerating execution is better for your group?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3t8rHqFdjfzV6M9Q?fight=last&source=5
i am new to sub and i would like some help with what to do and what i need to improve on. my dps is quite low too so i will need some help with that too
type !log and put the log in there, easier to group any answers or helpful tips people have for you
still going crazy
makes sense
Anyone experiencing awkward first dance talent reset timings?
There’s times where I’m out of combat, back into stealth and a solid extra 5-6 seconds pass before the buff itself starts its internal countdown of another 6 seconds before awarding you the buff
I’m half tempted to race change NE just to have meld as an option in an attempt to have control of the timer (which I have no idea it will actually work)
Most of the time it bugs and resets the countdown it's due to group combat, sometime if I vanish it gives me first dance instantly, other times it does nothing
is it real that Zee's is the best? (5 min sim)
hey, just wanted to know which talents do u guys prefer to use in raid ?
(deathstalker or Trickster)
Trickster is way ahead in every way so, it's the only real choice
ahh okay thx mate 🙂
just started playing sub like 2 days ago and all sides show talents for both but was wondering which one would be better 😄
I noticed when u pop blades and go into rotation w house of cards macroed into blades, it cuts it really clost getting 2 the second cold blood secret tech, if house falls off while secret tech is going through its animations do you lose the dmg?
It shouldnt be close
Youre probably delaying your dance until sectech is ready rather than immediately when its ready if i had to guess
wait, ik the rotation is backstab first then blades sech tech, but u use blades after sech tech 2?
It doesnt matter if you use it before or after sectech
How much worse is deathstalker sub...
Like 3-4%
tyty
np
maybe a dumb question, but should I be waiting for the coup de grace animation to finish before I press the next ability?
hi guys, i seem to keep having symbols cap at max stacks for 7-10 seconds around the 3m mark, as by that time i'd have to hold my dance for flag. should i be doing a symbols+sec tech around that point without dance?
you should be chaining the 2nd dance into the 1st dance especially with 4p so you don't lose your winning streak stacks, right?
saw someone say if you have 2 symbols up and ready around ~30 seconds before CDs are coming up you can symbols sectech
are you suppose to get off gallywix to hit adds? or is his hitbox big enough whre nimble fury just works? Also, do you need to position a certain way for it to work?
Yes
thanks
Its 8 targets around you in a circle
ok not sure how to ask this but um
is the cirlce big? lol
like how close do i have to be
well fuck me i guess
Don't you win the 95 one after?
he lost both in the end
Ripperino
i rolled badly anyway, but also the 100 got a tie
how do you open in a bigpull like floodgate first pull ? Shadowstrike - flag, rupture - cds - pb ?
Or Flag into first pb ?
ehm bp
not pb 😄
trike flag rupture into cds yes
k
i got it on HC
big
!wa
Is it worth it at this point to use double myth rik daggers and put 2nd embelishment somewhere else? this early in the season am I just "wasting" the dps I'd get from the upgrade due to having a wasted spark craft?
Anyone have a good super charger WA?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ibxR2bpH6nF5EK7RQbvoGm
0.8% but I'm also wasting a spark that was used on dagger I guess
well not much you can do
Ehh if you got use out of the dagger i wouldn't worry much
it ran its course
I'm looking at warcraft logs, what's Akaari's soul and why's it in my damage?
Its sectech
Why am i using shuriken in big packs instead of ss when im in dance/blades? i understand using shuriken to build cp easier but ss always gives you max cp esp when in blades. Whats the concept im missing
why can't we sim just 3 gem colors? i would do anything for this 2k gain 
@tepid trellis doing the evasion everyone does 13 seconds in helped with the rik dmg
i had to focus barrels a lot smh
how come it's called that?
Thats the name of the clones that spawn and do the shadow hit
comes from the legion artifact daggers, first instance of the shadow clones we ever got
and then SoFo tier set was like
interesting
"MORE CLONES MORE CLONES"
hell yeah
got my first ever bunch of purple/blue parses on heroic on sub rogue today :D
replace fw with more clones
dropping fast:))
yea i guess it will get to around 1.5 or 2 mil fast across the week
then maybe stay there
get the roulette big mastery
trust
when more than 1 target appears on screen you will like it
what website is that
ty
remember you can move gold to any realm now
with warband bank
just create an allied race
ye I know
Already found helm under 3
Is there a macro for unequip and requipping jastor?
likely
give it one week
and those boes are gonna be like
sub 1 mill
and then I'll yoink one 
yea i expect them
and recraft boots to either sin or outlaw stats
!fuu

@lucid jackal you staying sub for gally?
Recommendation on trinkets:
resonating heart, funhouse and energy drink
Ive simmed dungeon slice, patchwork 5 and patchwork 1 and its mixing between funhouse and resonating any thoughts whats probs best?
Get the pvp badge 
funhouse is not that good try and get a better on use yes
Eleem
you remember when we said sub was the best burst in the game bfore the whole set of nerfs and stuff

i mean just look at top hunter log and top sub
MM sustains like 7m for 40 secs
sub does like 7m for 5 secs
then goes to the bin
Yeah engulf is giga
Turns out when your burst gets nerfed by 40% you do less burst

i m on hoc anyway but
idk
guess imma full recraft crit and go assa
was fun

this sub iteration was fun 
well it does damage
i m on mugzee anyway and sub feels terrible in key comapred to sin / outlaw
Not home at the moment, but how would I go about getting a logs review? I feel like I am trending worse than last season and can't figure it out on my own.
!mistakes
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals of during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
and hope someone looks at it
?????????????
LOL
Fimbulvunttttrrrrrrr
fimbueiolveuteur
Ya sin garbanzo bean other than mugzee
have you heard him try say it when he's drunk?
sub is very good for the add thingies
nah jsut yersteday when he sent the voice thing
idk if i would say very good, but better than assa probably, and outlaw idk. But what do i know i havent stepped in/ watched lot of gally
well you do your dmg instantly
assa is not bad per se
but also gally is a bit of a wash
you go in when you are warmed up he just dies
Thank you @hazy breach, @short radish , and @wicked jolt xD. I will take a look at this when I have a moment. I was looking at LLORGs IO and saw that my flags, blades, dances were all lining up with the othe rogues, but I was doing waaay less damage so maybe it is indeed the 8 globals that is fucking my damage.
it looks fun to be range still in wow
damn its gone
@leaden prairie
man i played my spriest on 2nd boss rookery
and holy shit
it's acutally just a different game
that boss is anti melee
so i dont even have cast times
imagine
i m litearly perma running arround having fun at 40 yards
dude i watch my zoomer friend play fire mage
and he's just spinning around
running around everywhere
they just havent moved a inch
and so they bait the drones charge ez cuz it s only on melee it seems like
they perma melee range
yea fire is real fun rn, but a bit too smooth. It feels so weird to not have to hardcast anything really and also you generate way to many ib rn imo
i dont have haste i cant get the neck or the ring

i ve perfect gear for frost tho, but idk
but at least, it s fun. Unlike df where it was kinda meh
i had a warbound reverb radio that helps a bit
is it possibleo to macro flag to shadow blades
yes but you shouldnt
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.
thanks

better than eustaquio ermenegildo

Guys i want to ask you , is there a way in a castsequence macro that starts with Shadowstrike , to maybe have it to cast backstab is shadowstrike is not avaialbe( due to me being in combat?
brew 14?
needs to be in stealth/shadow dance
well you start
fight with stealth
and you got your normal action bar
and stealth onme
its actually common to put backstab insdie stealth bar
\for DM stacks
is it optimal to BS first builder in every dance vs just during blades
every dance
but also if you dont have FW on it and you arent behind
better to SS
cheers
wait is this real? it's only better to worry about DM if you get the backstab damage amp?
that sounds fake
wellllll
its only a worry in a small amount of scenarios
one of them is sprocket
because you should always be behind your target
i haven't worried about being behind target since our raid buff got added
The backstab amp is irrelevant
But you can only apply find weakness from behind
so basically the DM is only worth it if you can apply the FW to make up for the damage loss of SS?
that is soooo criminal
No
The backstab isnt worth it if you will not have FW up afterwards for your next eviscerate
Thats it
so it's always worth it? unless you're proccing crazy and can sectech > evis?
which is like never
and wait, what if your BS doesn't crit?
it's a loss?
youre over thinking it mate
the uptime of FW is very very high
but just take half a second before you dance
to check for the debuff
It pretty much never matters except on fights where you consistently have to be infront of the boss and they havent made it so it counts as beeing behind, aka only sprocket mythic
i remember when outlaw could have FW
🥹
when it was in rogue tree for whatever reason blizzard thought it would be a great idea, as well as acro
bring back acro 
Sub and assa should ve never touched acro, it was just not needed
(not gonna talk about the fact that they couldnt figure out how to make sectech works with acro kek)
Its hard to make sectech work with anything
yea idk why they havent made it just be a thing arround the player
Took them over a year to make it work with new blades, and its likely gonna take that long until it starts working with lingering darkness 
pretty sure it would fix 99% of the bullshit of it
And its still gonna be fucked on logs if the person logging is far away 
Btw question out od thin air
no
Ramfam still plays ?
oh i got it right
nah
He had watchable streams
hes in a better place
he left after aug got implemented
and said he would be back once "the dogshit thing that aug is gone"
Aug was..
but yea, still havent heard of him
well, he still hang out in his discord sometimes but that s it
idk what he s up to

Another game in my rogue channel 😠 not on topic? 😠 what happened here we only talk about rotation and opener 😠
jkjk
Obsidian lighter goated
Gotta talk more about rik barrels
In assa they definitely dont 
Hope your team carries you
probably delay your first vendetta
Thats the point of the pic (which is from a command)
I wonder if sub deathstalker will be viable again
Hopefully not
I DONT WANNA
Well the passives from trickster makes the spec feel better to play
The passives from deathstalker are like passive damage trinkets
but apparently ds in aoe as sub is worse than having to press ks every 20s and become blind
Yup
Tho i saw on S1 on FB 14 i think
He had really wonky talents
With darkbrew
And goremaw
Besides he played reall well and toped the mettwr by a head atleast

nah i was just looking at front page:
you guys putting embellishments on neck or boots?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
It doesn’t matter. You can buy boots. Necks don’t exist for sub.
craft boots you mean ?
No. Purchase them. BOE
and upgrade to 665?
Boe boots go to 678
Neck doesn’t have any option for sub so it’s a good long term craft
yeah ive got that 675. Boots are 400k for 655 on my server.
Darkcleft is decent
Crit/vers
Yup not optimal
So why are you arguing ?
It’s not optimal for sub. No point in taking it from vault
Ah vault
675 is crafted.

wtf would I care about heroic items sans HoC

are you on mugzee?
gally
you play Sub on Mugzee or just go Sin?
you think so?
I'm very much in the camp of "Rogue on a lot of fights does nothing, play whatever u want/base it on comp"
but yeah its not close
Spatter lets u hit goons in the cages
You hold DPS in p1
and u list p2 in execute
and u get 2 sets of deathmarks
Okay then ignore the entire part about spatter
You hold DPS in p1
and the fight has a hard enrage
Where u lust in execute
Sub does like 2.2 intermission/p2 to mugzee
sin very easily does 2.7
and the boss has a hard enrage
There is just 0 reason to play any other spec than sin on mugzee m
Sin takes 0 skill and 0 gear as well it's so free
true
Like sin is so good on that fight I think u can very easily play double rogue on that fight
And it's just objectively correct
Double sin double arms core 
Hey all, new to sim’ing… was looking through APL and it’s relatively simple and no way optimized to pump MAX numbers… the wowhead rotation guide has much more complexity… so, the idea of simming is essentially to see which piece of gear alters your damage the most, not necessarily “what is my max dps”?
I initially thought I could just read the APL for the absolute max DPS algorithm of “if X, Y, and Z and b > a cooldown, then symbols”, but it seems more of just a baseline. I could have sworn I seen a different sim at one point that went a good bit more in-depth in terms of algorithmic processes as above.

Hey y’all is there any tool like an Addon or WA that shows when to burst on sub bc I think I’m struggling understanding the windows
Or even like in dungeons too sometimes?
Sometimes I pop my shit and then get a mechanic idk if like ppl use anything to determine that or just have the knowledge of when and when not to
U mean looking at boss timers?
Big wigs
Nailed the positioning on sprocket to get launched right to every spot he jumps too on our kill
Sims are not meant to be like a TAS or absolute perfect robotic play, that would actually make them less accurate models of gameplay and do nothing but warp the results away from realism. We use sims not only to make informed gear decisions but also research rotational changes depending on the situation.
There’s plenty of niche things that could be added to an APL that might trigger on an edge case once every 20 iterations when you have a prio target + 4 adds and >1.35 symbols charges or whatever inhuman logic you could imagine, but that doesn’t create any actionable change for players, doesn’t change talent recommendations, doesn’t change gear recommendations, and ends up making the whole APL way more difficult to maintain and manage. There’s just simply no reason to code the sims like that
Basically every APL for every spec is frankly already fairly complex and able to handle a wide variety of situations quite well
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
I heard bigwigs was like dbm, should I have both or just big wigs?
just one of em
I think having both would be kinda 
Bigwigs drove me crazy because it announces every small stupid ability
I mean you can customize that stuff
You mean manually turn off sound for like 50 abilities?
That’s definitely hyperbole but ok

will do later, i got hints about improvements of the moneytization changes leaked before so did know it won't be bad
will probably play him a bit later today
A new card game, somewhere in between a auto battler (autochess, tft) and HS battlegrounds, backpack battles is comparable to a degree too.

Its not as black and white. The apl is basically the rotation, but as whispyr mentioned its entirely possible that some edge cases exist. You can experience what i mean by just running quick sim a few times, the rotation you see is one exact iteration of the sim and not a averaged out one so you can often find small details that are not 100% perfect.
The way its utilized, and why its so good for min/max is that you can alter the simulation to test rotational changes or find out how bad something is. A few examples i can give you are:
- Working with @tepid trellis to test out how much of a damage loss it is to play transmitter incorrectly
- Testing out Find Weakness based optimization for aoe - Reference
- Working with @hazy breach to find improvements for Shuriken Tornado (eliminate edge cases, i found out using it on low targets as a filler is worth it again) - Reference
So basically, simulations can be a powerful tool to help you find out how to optimize your output.
And there is another benefit for it, you can also compare how much its worth to optimize.
E.g. we know due to simulations that using backstab in shadow dance is only 0.5% dps increase, and as low as 0.2% without the season 2 tier set. Doing the simulations also gives a lot of extra information. To stay with backstab in shadow dance, it becomes damage neutral once you reach 6-7 targets and the most important time to do it is during flagellation/blades, means missing it outside of these cooldowns is not a big deal and won't rly change your output.
However, one important thing is, that not everything thats good for dps needs to be something you do in game.
Even the best players often skip out on one very small optimization because of the low impact of it. The backstab in dance is here another very good example, as we used it during DF too in some seasons and some of the top players opted to not do it because of the low damage impact.
I mention this because people watching streamers often ask them why they run different talents or not apply a certain optimization. Which btw. is perfectly fine and nothing either theorycrafter or streamer should be annoyed about. It shows the system working well, when people are informed enough to make such decisions.
Towards real world application, the main motivation for simulations is always gear comparisons.
And both patchwerk (with adjusted fight length typically for progress/farm), multi target simulations and dungeon slice are great for gearing purposes.
But Simulations can also be great to compare talents, but you might need to put in some effort.
I give one example, Dungeon Slice shows currently dark brew as the strongest talent setup in simulations, but you will typically play The Rotten instead.
But this isn't as obvious why, but having discussions like this is interesting for everyone involved.
Basically, the difference comes down to The first dance. The mentioned talent can be somewhat reliably triggered in dungeons but applies typically few times duing a Dungeon Slice simulation.
This means we have a small edge case where this knowlage is important, knowing this means you can go to warcraftlogs and see how frequently it triggers during a key and after that estimate with a simulation the rough damage impact. We did, and the conclusion is that its almost always worth to use it.
Talent setups have different amounts of trade offs. E.g. Switching one talent can be pricier for one talent setup than for another. This is the important thing for The first dance.
I can show you the simulations because i did it last weak, but if you contrast the two talent setups with each other on different simulation setups, you will see the following (the difference highlights the damage win/loss with the first dance talented, tho the simulations include talent setups without if you follow the link)
Diffrence - Rotten/brew tfd:
Single Target -0.8%
Three Targets +1.7%
Five Targets -0.2%
Eight Targets -0.8%
Dungeon Slice -1.2%
Gathering this knowledge, we learned about strengths and weaknesses of both talent setups.
We learned that Dark Brew is the stronger talent if you don't play with The first Dance.
We learned that Dark Brew has a higher trade off if you want to play The first Dance, which makes The Rotten the stronger option in that case.
And we learned which talents are the best to switch away when changing between the two:
- For
The rotten:Weaponmaster->The first dance - For
Dark brew:Shuriken tornado->The first dance
I hope my "wall of text", was somewhat informative, and wasn't too much redundant information for you (or others reading). But if you want to discuss the topic further, always happy to do so.
you typially just stick with atrophic in higher keys
I have to say
Playing 1 day with HoC instead of Transmitter
really changed my world of sub
its so much more chill
Those 400K i paid for the heroic HoC paid off
It's such a better trinket to play with because you just push button win prizes
yes
tbh
i only had a few pulls after getting HOC
and it mae me nervouse, because i was so used to look at the weakaura and hope to get a good task
Yes
Also i think its a dmg gain for me
Beause most of the times, i got the buff half way through the first dance
and sim got the Buff before the first Sectech right?
Glad you got it by now. 
I got mine 2 weeks ago, got a 2nd one last week with the heroic chest and my mage already got one aswell, but only normal track 
First time I actually was lucky
My Mage has a normal one aswell
Now i just need to be good at mage
(Im really bad)
Well i didnt look up what to do on guides
im just vibing
and failing
Like im 663 with my Mage
and parse Blue 
(im raidleading my fun Heroic raid with my mage tbf)
exactly this. for sprocket i got pvp trinket and i improved automatically after a few pulls
not thinking about minigame anymore makes a big difference for me
yes this may come down to my own being bad, but still maybe there are others who feel the same. so even without hoc, get pvp trinket, its really low effort
On sprocket monger
Have to Do the Extra mental gymnastics
Planning how to stand for Transmitter spawn

Just play frost if you raid lead
Ez brain off

They all swapped to assa
They swapped to unholy 
To real
New rogue spec? 
I knew it was the end if kush swapped to unholy

Its decent
Different strengths
hey maybe he wants some big weekly keys
you are welcome to watch my +10 rookeries 8 times a week
high5, same
well tfd is very cool
Haha
Enhance does so much damage.
Watching my extremely good buddy who plays at a level I could never attain do more AoE blasting on their 634 Shammie than I did at 664 was really funny.
Last season you didnt even touch lava lash 
true
Somehow only pressing stromstrike was more fun than only pressing lavalash
well lightning is just cooler than fire
Wow, I appreciate it! Great information. I was confused— I was reading your guide and configuring weak auras to meet all of the criteria you mention in terms of timing cd’s (for example, since I’m new to sub, I want my weak aura to show me when it’s optimal to cast dance/symbols between CD’s while still allowing me to have dance/symbol charges when CD’s are ready again), and then I thought to look at the APL. The APL was similar, but much less advanced than your guide… I usually play arcane mage, and it was the same—APL didn’t capture all of the small intricacies of the rotation for min/maxing.
Again, appreciate your reply and work towards the guide!

Pressing Fire Nova and doign big AOE DMG was the most fun on Enhancer
change my midn
maybe stupid question, but how do i read this graph properly?

Be aware of what bosses have a ton of kills and change how good certain specs look. ~95th percentile is prob a good measurement preferably check the boss you're interested in and not overall. Overall is just so blitz knows what to buff and nerf 
but how do i read it like. outlaw is overall performing best (with having in mind what you just said)
I forget if it's distinctly a boxplot or not but
So you can see that although Outlaw is at the top, their median is lower than Assa's
thanks
and this score on the x axis
how is this calculated
do we know?
its the parse? like 95%
= score 95
I'm actually not sure because it doesn't go from 0
this is my problem as well 😄
so if anybody knows how to read this properly. enlighten us please 😄
Outlaw's outlier is really funny to me. Just so far out tehre
If you change it to any specific percentile its easier to parse
(as in its easier for you to read it)
WEll the people playing outlaw on Mythic
are usually pretty good
so it makes sense
If you are bad on outlaw, you wouldnt go into mythic with it
you would spec sub and sin
That argument doesn't really work if you're looking at 99th percentile. Outlaw performs best on first boss and by a huge margin on Stix because of cleave. Most parses are from those early bosses so outlaw looks very strong in overall statistics
Also true
It's by far the best performing spec on Stix, while beeing the worst rogue spec for boss damage
Not to mention the pain
getting 5 buffs pressing ar
and getting a ball
right after it

just dont get a ball the whole fight
big parse
meanwhile me getting it 3 times
green
Is 14k different between ML trinket 678 vs 665 trinket from Flood anything I should consider? Or just go with flood even tho it sims lower? 🤔
I am holding cds until 38 seconds as assa and if I get first ball I want to blow up
azerokk is a very swingy trink
so if it procs on cds it is big
if it does not it is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ive looked at some numbers guys, if they buff BP and we end up playing deathstalker for some reason its completely joever
thats not the only one
Sectech and to some extent ruptures on bigger aoe are in the danger zone in that situation too 💀
ah yea deathstalker with db rupture rizzling
i can see the dark days
or maybe just go ogre mode and slam bp
Yes, the latter is what im referring to, bp is close to just doing more than rupture
ah yea that seems like the oh no
Do you think sub is up for some tuning? I guess there will be no class tuning for a while
we are like midcore rn
chances we get buffs are low but if they revert some nerfs it would be cool
or fix some more bugs
that has been more of the thing lately
If they do tuning and sub does not get touched (especially for m+) i would be surprised
Could anyone point me to what i did wrong this encounter? My performance was really subpar, meanwhile during the fight i thought my execution was good
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pXrKTtnamWRgC6bx?fight=66&type=casts&source=171&view=timeline
One thing is that you were on the opposite side of the person logging
that's a factor? XD
Because for some reason blizzard cant be bothered to correctly assign the pets spawned from sectech to the rogue and it bugs out if the logger is more than 100 yards away
!Mistakes
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals of during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
damn, thanks!
villany
They'll buff shroud move speed.
they will triple goremaw dmg and let it cleave
some weird witch hunt
make it go from 300 to 900% ap like in legion
some snapper 17m+ hits
haha
It’s better at killing mobs that shouldn’t need to be killed in the first place
So ye if your guild decided hyenas don’t exist you’ll see big numbies
does anybody know if there is a bug where you would loose your winning streak stacks whenever shadowdance ends?
How would deathstalker sub even work i just started sub this szn so only play trickster would u just spam storm bp in anything more then 3 targets lol
Nop
Cuz no nimble flurry
Youre likely just casting your last eviscerate right as shadow dance ended, rather than inside
thats why you always log yourself
hmmm 🤔
me and my friend are trying to figure out, but he dosen't recall using evis right after it ended
if you look at the log i'd very much guess that the eviscerate he thinks is inside dance is casted like 8.1 or 8.2s after he casted dance, aka just as it ended
A lot of people arent getting their 8 globals of dance
i guess so, would he want to press any finisher outside of SD instead of evis?
No
U can make sure u don't start dance mid gcd
mid gcd?
Wait i might be wrong is dance not off gcd?
Never thought about that
dance is in GCD as it gets reduced with x seconds for x CP
Dance is not on the global cooldown
oh x)
So yes you want to cast it right before you press your first spell in it, not 0.8s before
aight

so shadow blades have to be pressed before the sec tec?
it doesnt matter if its before or after
ah okay ty <3
It doesn't? So the cast of sec tec can go off before you buff yourself and you get the buff? o.O
Yes
👋
The clones, aka most of sectechs damage, happens 1s and 1.3s after you press the button
But generally if you press it after it should be pressed like 0.8s after, otherwise the entire point of pressing it after (ie getting an extra global with blades later) is defeated since you can miss that extra global if youre not spamming enough
So its easier to just do it before, but in sims it doesnt matter
The main reason to do it would be if you have a shorter duration trink macro'd to blades and you were consistently missing the last hit, right?
This is just overthinking it

!wa
When did it change, that we dont use Vanish in our opener?
my paladin is telling me that him not holding threat of our warrior tank even with my perma tricks is my fault
with the new patch
the difference is miniscule either way
i feel like suspicious energy drink is the best heroic trinket with house of cards in raid and m+ nothing is comparing to the double combo its insane
every sim i do it comes out the best
Drink is pretty good yep
Bro what? lol
Tricks doesn’t do that much
Like how could that be your fault
Tricks doesn’t do anything about your pallys threat
Just transfers yours to the tank
I stream on tw.tv running 13s and 14s atm (u can find link on my discord badge)
Which iirc does not do much in the way of keeping threat off anyone else
anyone else using this m+ build in 14-15+ keys and holding vanish to heal ? 😄
When we getting that fat rework for sub?🥲
2/3 of us will probably be dead before that fully happens
just bring back dust lol
Unless they’re going to fix CDs, no
We just need ptr burst back they should never have nerf tier set we where guchi
Nerfed? You mean perma 10 stack? 
guess he meant when the tier set had real numbers
Yub
They could prob have given the aura buff and not nerfed tier and we would still not be top dps on many bosses
guys why my trick does not stay on target for 1 hour? is it bug or what
You have to hit something when you cast it
!FUU
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Any quick info or guide for mythic reverb? Just when to send cds and stuff
Evasion his amplify cast and you can stay in
For maximum barrel damage delay first flag+blades until 13-14s
don't send cds till around 14 seconds into the fight
Ok I wasn’t sure if it was hold until first set and then 3rd set
you don't want to hold too long or your 2nd set will get cut off by the intermission
So just delay cds for a few and after that they should line up from there for the rest of the fight without having to hold anymore?
