ah, would explain why I had no idea it existed lol

#

Hi all, may I ask about playing Sub in Stix to have more add dmg? or what is the best go in Stix?

alpine wraith
#

add dmg is sniping hyenas as they crash into the boss

#

otherwise we do nothing extraordinary

proper mason
#

what spec do you pref?

vale pine
#

i like subtlety the most

#

its the most fun to play

keen dome
#

Big same. Subtley has a flow to it, a style to it. It's got downtime and then big burst. And it just.. has a vibe.

placid elk
#

buff sstorm to 35 energy plz bliz

alpine wraith
#

yea i may have played sublety for a bit

lilac stag
#

It really doesn’t matter much

#

Do balls.

alpine wraith
#

you can also help interrupting the casters

#

shadowstep has quite a bit of range and some ranged are a bit of slackers

#

that would be some deaths

worn ivy
#

ETA gg

#

we still underperforming compare to other classes

#

in raid and in m+

#

subtlety need some loveeeeeee

swift tinsel
#

should write a strongly-worded email to Mr. John Blizzard and let him know

#

certainly he'll be surprised to hear it

alpine wraith
#

i can help translate it to spanish

#

send to to mr ventisca

keen dome
#

"Dear Mr. John Blizzard. I hope this letter finds you well. I'm a Subtley rogue and I've been a very good boy this year. Please would you buff Black Powder by 25%. Because I think it would be very funny."

Full send at 35 seconds

Everything melts

void ocean
#

was lust on pull?

steel horizon
#

On the fights that have some cleave moments like vexie/stix/oab/gally, do we go back to playing rotten? Or do we just stick with finality

void ocean
#

I dont think we have to play finallity

#

quick look on vexie only 29% of ppl takes finallity

steel horizon
#

Well i know its better on pure ST. Just unsure about those fights with cleave moments

void ocean
#

on Sprok 30% takes finallity

#

in both cases top parses didnt take it

steel horizon
#

Well finality does sim better on st. It might just be people still using the old talents

haughty mural
#

i did finality on vexxie last week and got a 99

#

so i think it does work but as Dosem said many just use "old talents"

#

but its minor anyway

young mural
#

ON FOENEM GRAVE I MISS SEPSIS

haughty mural
#

still got gwb_uwu

young mural
#

i liked the fact we had flag and sepsis, kind of matching talents

#

but both are kinda strange in their usage

warm marlin
#

you can safely play finality on pretty much every fight in the raid

#

you can also play rotten if you like it better for some reason

young mural
#

full ST damage

warm marlin
#

sims suggest it's like 0.2-0.3%

#

at least for me

young mural
#

wow

#

ill sim it

#

i NEED that 0.2% gain

void ocean
#

GOTTA BEAT THAT GREY PARSE WARLOCK

twilit phoenix
#

Lmfao

#

Bro i NEEEEEEED that 0.2% gain bro please bro

alpine wraith
#

finality was 1.4% for me

#

it is not trivial

young mural
#

wow thats pretty good

young mural
lucid jackal
#

u need rotten for aoe spread in big pulls

young mural
#

yhea so finality only on low target counts

steel horizon
#

Yeah rotten is played in keys, no questions asked. I just wonder what comes out on top in raid fights that have intermittent cleave

hazy breach
#

I mean you dont storm anyway

#

You'd only storm for bp

#

And theres no boss this tier where you would bp

young mural
#

storm would only be for find weakness for bp correct?

alpine wraith
hazy breach
#

yes

young mural
#

yhea ill play 1 point in finality fuck it

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

holy moly

young mural

new tech alert i play finality from now on

void ocean
young mural

#

maybe one shiv at start

lilac stag
#

Shiv so it’s back up. Just do opener when adds go

young mural
#

where I apply rupture w/ finality even if its not at pandemic window

#

or something like that

#

i dont remember from DF

hazy breach

No

Play exactly the same

young mural

perfect

thanks eleem

you dont play around it ye

question for the chad subs do we ever use goremaws? or do i take it to be different OMEGAKEKW

s3 goremaw's bite tierset is gonna go so hard

vale pine

#

nah sub wont get a tierset for s3

lilac stag
#

Gloomblade / Goremaw tier set

#

GG

slate marlin
#

Backstab tierset better

#

Effects dont affect gloomblade but bc they forgot

swift tinsel
#

omg if they drop a Goremaw tier set that would be fucking hilarious

vestal escarp
#

the thing is

#

whatever ridiculously overpowered effect they can slap on tier to make gwb strong should be on it by default

solemn lance
#

Its actualy called Goremaws nibble now

#

you dont want it, but it might just turn you on

opal comet

Goremaws nibble 🤣🤣

chrome palm
delicate wind
hazy breach
#

Why not

#

Makes perfect sense to buff stuff thats bad that people arent using

slate marlin
#

they didnt make hero talents with the idea of specs having 1 thats used all the time and 1 that shit

#

or shit and shittier for some classes

#

so if one is underused they buff it

uncut oriole
#

I guess they're under the belief no class should receive tuning until sub does.

slate marlin
#

well time to be a unholy main for the next 2 years

uncut oriole
swift tinsel
#

I'm playing fdk for big oblit bonks

#

quite fun

#

get a big dragon AND lil dragon

slate marlin
#

i dont rly play pther specs

#

will only get invites regularly as 3/4 specs i dont rly enjoy, so no point

swift tinsel
#

dk's been my main longer than rogue, just haven't played as much since end of sl/start of df

#

since the guild i joined had 3 dk's already lol

wide kernel
vale pine
#

nope

slate marlin
#

this

#

yes its all

wide kernel
#

more will be coming in a bit i think

slate marlin
#

clearly warrior meta

wide kernel
#

lets hope sub gets buffed

#

its performance in raid is so bad

slate marlin
#

i mean thats the official patch notes, so no class changes or reworks most likely

#

class tuning will most likely still happen

plush roost
#

I have a feeling they wait a week or 2 and see if corruptions do anything to the meta (they wont) and adjust on that

wide kernel
#

do they not update these things throughout the week?

slate marlin
#

actualy idk

slate marlin
wide kernel
#

i dont think sub is in that bad of a position for m+ you just cant put it in a random comp is what i learned this week

slate marlin
#

bc then they will say they cant do changes because that would kill top 10 keys

plush roost
slate marlin
#

i know

plush roost
#

And besides, sub is good in keys its just not the defacto number one spec

keen dome
#

There's still time

slate marlin
#

its not that i want a 15% aura buff

#

just some talent/hero talent changes

dusty totem
#

I want a 15% aura buff

swift tinsel
#

I don't play at a level where I feel a big buff is necessary but I wouldn't be mad to get buffed

#

I top openers by a mile, do great burst

#

I'm chillin

young mural
#

Does anyone know if nimble flurry damage interacts with shadowed finishers? I pretty sure it doesnt because we dont shuriken storm on less than 7 targets but I think its worth the question.

plush roost
#

It does not

young mural
#

MM hunters and even some WM monks doing more burst than us kinda fucked

#
  • their sustain is just better
hazy breach
plush roost
#

MM hunter is just sleeper op ongod

hazy breach
#

Just like the regular eviscerate does

#

so you just need fw on your main target

slate marlin
#

5 seconds less cd on symbols being gated by shroud and cheap shot talents is so ass

swift tinsel
#

is it really sleeper op if hunters are swapping to mm en masse

plush roost
#

Its really really good.

hazy breach
#

Idk sub not getting a buff during this tuning pass suggests that they probably dont want sub to be the best spec, for one reason or another

wide kernel
#

its ST is not good afaik

hazy breach
#

Maybe people on average just dislike it and enjoy rogue a lot more when assa is the meta spec? idk

bleak night
#

They’d prefer you don’t play subtlety

vale pine
#

+1 i think they want assassiantion as dominant spec, rather than having a objective measurement

swift tinsel
#

yeah I don't see sub getting anything without walking back the previous nerfs

slate marlin
#

that should tell them to rework the spec to a certain point

wide kernel
swift tinsel
#

it's kinda iconic rogue at this point

#

sin*

vale pine
#

assassiantion was long the meta spec, so it is what people know

vale pine
#

it was for 4 years basically the only raiding spec

#

and this means there are just a lot of assassiantion players

swift tinsel
#

I play it bc the gameplay is fun

#

I don't expect the numbers to be the very top

vale pine
#

who are potentially not willing to play something more difficult

swift tinsel
#

or even top of the 3 specs

wide kernel
#

imo DS is what will actually get fixed first and maybe thats why there's no news

young mural
# hazy breach Shadowed eviscerate cleaves too yes

So if my ST eviscerate damage is doing more because of FW, it will cleave more with nimble. But if the targets that is getting cleaved by nimble has FW applied, the damage doesnt interact w/ shadowed finishers because the mob is getting damaged by nimble flurry and not eviscerate correct?

#

sorry if confusing

#

idk how to write it in such a way to make it less confusing

swift tinsel
#

I've tried both sin and outlaw in raid and m+ and the other two specs just aren't it for me

slate marlin
#

i can understand catering to the preferred spec

#

i dont understand ignoring another

swift tinsel
#

because if its notably better, people feel compelled to switch

#

and if they don't like sub, they'll whine

slate marlin
#

well not rly ignoring but yk

young mural
#

We're subtlety guys...

slate marlin
#

you can still buff subtlety without making it 10x better than assa you know

wide kernel
#

forgive my ignorance, but aren't most of the top specs atm fairly easy to play like DK (barring arcane)

swift tinsel
#

even if its just a few % better than sin

#

you've seen it happen

young mural
#

brah just give us 1% increase in damage of all spells and we'll stop crying

hazy breach
#

So if you have no FW, evis does 100 and cleaves 60

#

If you have fw on your main target, evis does 110 and cleaves 60

#

And then the shadowed hit also cleaves

young mural
#

bruh confusing ass spec interactions

#

tyvm for answer Eleem

hazy breach
#

Thats almost all specs in the game though

#

With debuffs

swift tinsel
#

but sub got pretty targeted nerfs, so I don't expect any reversal of them since their intention was pretty clear

slate marlin
#

having fw on cleaved targets increases their dmg taken right?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

10%

wide kernel
young mural
swift tinsel
#

The only reason I'm playing other classes/specs atm is bc I hit my season goal on my rogue

slate marlin
#

you can be a tier if u want

swift tinsel
#

still think sub is the most fun spec in game

slate marlin
#

but that wont change sitting in lfg for 1 hour

young mural
slate marlin
#

or feeling useless without windfury

young mural
#

dont see sub in A tier for high keys

wide kernel
#

i was watching yoda last night, he has it in A, the wowhead article also lists it as such, I'm not sure where that one comes from

slate marlin
#

thats archon

swift tinsel
#

don't they basically pull rio data

slate marlin
#

its just some average of m+ score

young mural
wide kernel
#

well it doesnt help that noone plays sub and that sub actually requires a comp, thats not unimportant

slate marlin
swift tinsel
#

I mean does sub really require anything other than skyfury

wide kernel
#

like the difference between no shaman and shaman + warrior and monk is really big

#

that alone would skew usuage statistics

young mural
#

here's average DPS on high keys, since I feel like M+ score is a pretty worthless metric of class balancing

#

pretty pog no?

half comet
#

are .5 patches historically supposed to have a lot of class changes? this one seems a bit bare in comparison to the last 3 tiers

#

(it has 0)

dusty totem
#

Sub does low overall this is known

young mural
#

not really

wide kernel
dusty totem
#

none

#

i play all three specs so i only play sub if comp is good

young mural
#

compare it to a fucking chicken that just makes stars fall from sky and boom theres infinite damage for ya

wide kernel
wide kernel
#

meanwhile you see shindig doing 5.7 in 16 floodgate on sin

#

with relatively good comp

young mural
#

if you play literally perfectly

#

raidbots level perfect no globals missed absolutely perfect CD management

#

youre not doing even close to that overall as sub

wide kernel
#

i dunno

#

i feel like on floodgate you could see 4.5 if you did really well

plush roost
#

I mean theres more to m+ than overall

swift tinsel
#

from that same data, sub is timing the same level keys as sin

young mural
wide kernel
#

maybe that's even a lowball

dusty totem
#

Nahh that is not lowball bro

wide kernel
#

in lower gear than what we have atm i saw casual doing 4mil in ML, zeross did pretty good from a vid i watched

young mural
jaunty heath
#

ST

young mural
#

if you say funnel damage ill cut my wrists rn

jaunty heath
#

A lot of it

young mural
slate marlin
young mural
#

only thing

wide kernel
#

sub has high base DR, good ST, varied damage profile depending on mob size

plush roost
#

See if its better

jaunty heath
#

Yeah idk theres dungeons where you just don’t need sins aoe

young mural
#

it is

plush roost
#

It is not

jaunty heath
#

And in those you would take the boss damage over sins aoe

dusty totem
#

For timer sub is probably better in dfc

plush roost
#

100% the current routing for dfc prefers sub over sin

jaunty heath
#

100%

#

Same for top man

wide kernel
# slate marlin thats just zeross tbf

my point also is kinda we don't really have a LOT of really high level data from sub, partially because undertuning and partially because not enough people play it

plush roost
#

Xav with sub rogue takes 45 seconds off the timer alone

plush roost
slate marlin
plush roost
#

More overall group dps

slate marlin
#

so ofc theres low sub data

jaunty heath
#

Also dances for banners

young mural
jaunty heath
#

Can move them around

wide kernel
young mural
#

yhea thats correct, you can explode your buddies

#

and the banners

dusty totem
#

It is not really a dmg increase to get up fast if u dedicate a lot of dmg to do it tho

swift tinsel
#

its really not hard, people just think it is so they give up quick or don't even try

jaunty heath
#

So sub just auto rolls that dungeon

wide kernel
jaunty heath
#

Compared to sin

#

Loads on mini bosses

slate marlin
#

i mean

young mural
slate marlin
#

flag window is 90% of the spec

dusty totem
young mural
#

the only one

plush roost
#

Dfc im telling you

jaunty heath
#

Dfc for timer for sure

wide kernel
#

the fact we get dfc and top is pretty big imo

plush roost
#

The damage you do to the kobolds on first boss is irrelevant

wide kernel
#

the other ones we can do kinda well on

young mural
#

we can agree to disagree dracthyr_kek

jaunty heath
#

Idk we can but tell me how sin is good for timer in dfc

wide kernel
#

cinderbrew i've seen cmlo get ok numbers

jaunty heath
#

Compared to sub

#

I really don’t need the shitters to die in dfc rather have the stupid mini bosses die

young mural
dusty totem
#

Sin is faster on packs and on first boss i think

jaunty heath
#

Most of dfc is shitters

dusty totem
#

but overall still slower yeah

plush roost
#

There are 7 pulls in dfc lol

young mural
jaunty heath
#

And they are all full of small mobs

#

Yes bro

young mural
dusty totem
#

The ones in color

jaunty heath
#

Theres mobs dying to the demise

#

Doesnt matter

#

0%

#

All that matters in dfc is the mini bosses and bosses

dusty totem
#

We agree that sub is faster u just asked a question i answered

jaunty heath
#

I didn’t really answer you tbf

young mural
#

ok lets agree then

#

sub is better for 2 dungeons

#

kek

#

great spec!

jaunty heath
#

Floodgate also after second boss you’d go sub to be optimal

#

Obv until then sin rocks

young mural
#

we cant run 1 spec the whole dungeon

#

rookery for example, great dungeon for outlaws but I've seen people going assassination for 1st pull and switching after 💀

jaunty heath
#

Idk about cinderbrew I could see going out before ipa or like after first pull/boss to swap sub is good too

#

I can’t 100% confirm this tho

#

Just my thinking

jaunty heath
#

What

young mural
#

wdym switch specs in a dungeon

jaunty heath
#

Am I ragebsaiting

#

Brother

young mural
#

you cannot do that in high keys my man

jaunty heath

jaunty heath
#

Gotta be careful group might deisband

#

They think you leaving

dusty totem

yhea minus 20-30s for the rogue to switch specs mid dungeon

great job

#

You new to m+ or?

dusty totem

What do you mean

young mural
#

does a druid go out to switch to feral in some pulls??

#

thats just trash game design if you have to do that

dusty totem

Maybe they should but they are bad at game

young mural

clearly not intended gameplay

dumb question alert

does numbing stack with curse of weakness?

since its higher percentage?

lucid jackal

stacks

but numbing has more to it, so is it the same?

#

ok ty

Cast speed stacks

#

Attack slow doesnt

proven plover

but weakness doesnt have cast speed reduction

young mural
proven plover
#

im confused

young mural
#

if curse of weakness is slowing only attack speed, and attack speed doesnt stack, then numbing poison and curse of weakness aren't stacking

real panther
#

my stupd *ss that just understood today that coup de grace is not an eviscerate and so its a difference trigger for danse

swift tinsel
#

I mean it is but it also isn't

#

bc it triggers things like finality, shadowed finishers

#

and can also reset tier stacks

real panther
proven plover
#

we just tested curse of weakness and numbing in pvp, it does stack according to the atk speed of the person with both debuffs

#

does it function differently in pvp?

#

If outside of dance but in more than +3, you should use Shuriken Storm right?

#

But if you have Shadow Techniques, do you use Backstab?

#

If I have enough to give me full CP

lucid jackal
#

2+ targets outside of dance u press storm

tepid trellis
#

last i checked 3 or more

tepid trellis
oak grotto
#

Why? Isnt it better to use Backstab cause Shuriken storm does no damage?

#

Or is it the same cause Backstab also does 0 damage lmfao

lucid jackal
#

CP is more valuable

tepid trellis
#

at 3 targets its just a combo point difference

#

that is too large

lucid jackal
#

store your shadow technique for when u go into dance

oak grotto
#

Ah okay

#

So it's not worth to use cause you wanna save the CP basically?

tepid trellis
#

its more like you use ineffecient builders

#

at that point

oak grotto
#

Yeah but it still grants full CP is what I'm thinking if you have Shadow Tech

tepid trellis
#

a 1 cp builder vs a 3cp builder

young mural
oak grotto
#

But I guess you'd rather save them and try to use spender back to back?

tepid trellis
#

then it grants full with storm as well

#

but saves you 2 cp

oak grotto
#

Ah so it's basically whatever

tepid trellis
#

its just combo point economy

oak grotto

And save the CP for dance I guess like @lucid jackal said

well you dont really save them

you just arent using them ineffeciently

at what point does circlet get replaced? double myth track rings?

tepid trellis
#

no

#

Nimble is physical dmg therefor does more dmg to targets with FW on them

#

but its so shit that its not worth doing

bright sundial
#

ive been throwing 1 ss at 5+ just to get them buff if it crits wtf

tepid trellis
#

there is a reason why we dont storm in dance until we start using BP

#

xD

tardy spear
#

Does anyone know why we didnt use secret technique in shadowlands and took master of shadows? But now we use secret technique and no longer take master of shadows, just find it kind of funny

bright sundial
#

ph my b should did more research before gearin sub lmao

tepid trellis
#

did less dmg on AoE than a BP cast

#

and did a teeny tiny bit more than a single evis cast on single target

tardy spear
#

oh lmfao, ok that explains it cause I was just so confused, i played all of SL and never realized ST was even a talent lol

tepid trellis
#

so the energy was better

tardy spear

till DF

wide kernel
tepid trellis
#

nope

wide kernel
#

That's crazy

tepid trellis
#

or rather is not worth to do the "force" fw

#

in dance tech

bright sundial
#

kinda weird that fw isnt good its our first and forced talent point omegalul

tepid trellis
#

you still have some rng to have it up from storming outside of dances

tepid trellis
#

or in AoE when you use BP

bright sundial
#

what nible doesnt get dmg boast from it either?

wide kernel
#

Oh

tepid trellis
#

its just an enabler for Shadowed finishers

tepid trellis
wide kernel
#

He's saying that eviscerate is already buffed from fw when it applies to other targets

#

Because nimble

tepid trellis
#

its only the armor reduction that gives nimble more dmg on AoE

#

but the armor reduction is not high

#

so using strikes

#

is more dmg

#

than applying FW

#

with storm since storm does 0 dmg compared to a strike

wide kernel
#

Yeah I understand

#

I was under the impression nimble was effected by FW on the secondary targets

tepid trellis
#

yeh, nah just need FW on main target for shadowed finishers to work with nimble

wide kernel
tepid trellis
#

compared to top specs

#

yes

#

can it do title keys just fine

#

yeh

#

wont do rank 1 keys tho i think

leaden prairie

I mean its kinda as good as sin rn tho

#

rogue isnt really meta

but

its like top-mid in keys

Let's say a comp is sub / shaman / warrior / druid. Is it worth it to try and also fit monk in there? Like is MW or WW good enough or fit well enough to be worth it over other healers? / slots

all tanks are good on 14s tho

I guess my question more directly is, is mistweaver actually good?

slate marlin
#

they do good dmg

#

another melee slot on healer tho

swift tinsel
#

They have a really good toolkit for m+

#

Can cover a lot of diff damage patterns

#

Trick is finding one that knows how to use the full kit

is this new cooldown manager anywhere close to being as good as WAs

lucid jackal

tribal blade
#

i'm wondering if it'll even show basic stuff like pandemic

random mason
#

Most likely not (yet?)

spark tusk
#

They have to push out a first iteration like they did editmode

#

there will be more changes pushed out for it in time I'm sure

#

It's better than weakauras in that you press like 3 buttons and they're all on for you without you having to set them up individually

tribal blade
#

i imagine it'll also put a lot less strain on your game

#

being able to cut down on WA usage

pure jay
#

asked this in the sin channel, curious about sub as well: how do y'all min/max on OAB when raid lead says to swap to every add?

tribal blade
#

as sub you can just shadowstep immediately and start burning them

#

and as sub you play your dances around the add spawns

lilac stag
#

@tribal blade is I good boy?

tribal blade
#

how much dps is that

#

oh just on 1 mob got it

lilac stag
#

just bombshells

tribal blade
#

either your boomys are afk or they're doing balls

pure jay
#

but looking at all logs

#

neither spec swaps

tribal blade
#

sub is way better at add damage

pure jay
#

but trying to be a good soldier and follow orders

tribal blade
#

you should be swapping

pure jay
#

but sub still doesnt swap from what I've seen

tribal blade
#

at least at the start of prog

pure jay
#

hmmmmmmmmm

tribal blade
#

those are kill pulls where they've fully optimized damage so could be different for them

pure jay
#

im looking at prog kills

tribal blade
#

but if you're early progging bandit it'll be a struggle to kill adds in time

pure jay
#

not

tribal blade
#

so it's less necessary to add swap

#

but if you want to prog bandit early on you need to just put everything into add damage

#

as priority

#

then slowly you can add more boss dam

#

also i guess depends on your comp and how good your raid is at doing dps

pure jay
#

i don't really understand what you mean

#

i feel like prog kills(rank ~240-300) are similar to where we are

#

not like i'm looking at world top 50 progs

tribal blade
#

so you mean kills right

pure jay
#

so idk how it's fully optimated

tribal blade
#

as in the boss is dead

pure jay
#

yea

tribal blade
#

so they've done what, over 100 pulls

pure jay
#

as in the first time a given guild kills the boss

#

yea

tribal blade
#

yes

#

so they've done a LOT of optimizing

pure jay
#

i suppose

tribal blade
#

when you're starting to do a boss nothing is optimized

pure jay
#

im not use to sub rogues swapping though

tribal blade
#

and stuff is all over the palce

pure jay
#

so dunno how to balance that

tribal blade
#

like my raid just started bandit prog and the biggest cause of wiping so far has been adds not dying in time

pure jay
#

right

tribal blade
#

so we just hard swap

pure jay
#

we also just started

tribal blade
#

so we can see the fight

#

there's no point hitting the boss and then wiping because adds don't die

lilac stag
pure jay
#

think i get what you're saying but not exactly my question, feel like we do more damage not swapping

lilac stag
#

Swap less as raid gets comfy

lilac stag
#

oh kekw thought you were sub

pure jay
#

i play both

lilac stag
#

musta missed that

pure jay
lilac stag
#

play outlaw. real winner

Yeah lol outlaw would have more adds dmg, you play sub is for the 1m40s premium set

and went crazy on 2nd burn phase

#

lorggs kinda hard for prog

indigo steppe

like.. i feel like a lot of my issues in mytihc is not min/maxing my CD's, i.e blowing flag on an add that dies in 5 seconds. Not saying thats what im doing, but just an example

#

but i suppose symbols/dance aren't the same mechanically like that

lilac stag
#

why are you flagging anything besides the boss?

pure jay
lilac stag
#

what else is there?

#

everything else is a buff

wide kernel
#

What are your guys' preferred comp if you're playing sub. Just generally in m+

lilac stag
#

anything with a shaman. otherwise play the other two specs

pure jay
#

im thinking blades, sectech, etc

lilac stag
#

ofc you want to try to max the cd windows, but a slightly fucked up window with dead adds is better then perfect cds and adds wiping the raid

pure jay
#

yea

#

for sure

warm marlin
#

so i full swapped adds entire prog

#

on kill pull i sent 2nd dance of flag into the 3rd add before flame coin deposit way off to the side not even cleaving boss, we still had to hold dps

sim currently sends third SoD at the last 3 seconds of second SoD after flag, but does not send sectech bc flag cd is not between 40 and 20. is this intended?

it is weird bc it uses SoD bc sectech cd is under 8 sec, but does not use sectech

hollow spear

Sim is sometimes doing weird stuff

quasi wedge

and then it decides to use sectech without SoD or dance bc flag cd is between 40 and 20

Just ignore it and do what the guide says

Hey chaps, just want to confirm something. I have the crafted daguer 675. If i craft a 675 sword, will that count as a secondary weapon allowing me to upgrade my other weapons?

steel zinc

Let's say you get mugzee rare 1h mythic 678 and you crafted a dagger 675 the 2nd mythic dagger (let's say from the vault) is 662 it can be upgraded then to 675 for free.

hollow spear
#

You sure?

quasi wedge

100% sure for rogue at least

hollow spear

Could swear that didn't always work last season

distant plinth

Outlaw can use both dagger + sword so I thought it would work

#

Just want to make sure before I craft if someone tested it though

quasi wedge
#

yes also sub can use OH sword even if it sucks and doesn't drop for sub

#

its not that complicated for rogue

#

everything counts

guys when rupture is already up
I flag into sod dance sectech right?
not flag into evis/bp into sod dance stab blades sectech

Alright boys, I need some help. I've got two daggers 665 and want to run an off-spec for a kind of 'Omni-spec approach' (Have access to Mastery/Crit gear > not all bis but good enough to have either Crit or Mastery my highest stat depending on Flask).

I made a Sin' and Sub spec and have been dicking around with both.

I want to play Sub, I respect it's nuances and difficultly. I love it's theme and just really find it cool.

HOWEVER. The sheer amount of keybinds... Holy F I was not prepared.

Sin' is so brain dead I, um.. spit.

So, I'm reading/watching/lurking. Can someone please tell educate my noob arse on which of the two is stronger? (Raid and M+ runs).

And if they are close, please sell Sub for me. Im almost over the line but I NEED your yummy confirmation bias 🤑

Why would you do that tho

Just play sin at that point

I wouldn't recommend that

And trains muscle memory for stuff you won't use down the line

Well then, I guess I'll just take the macro option

quasi wedge
#

true I can't use coldblood well still

hollow spear
#

Use the macro for shadowblade with pot and racial

#

The rest you should keybind

quasi wedge
#

it's safe to use shadowblades+racial+trinket

i also think coldblood+sectech is fine esp when this season ends no?

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
#

Having cb macroed is fine as long as you also have a separate keybind for sectec

using cb with second sectech in flag got* more important with current tier set

It was already better end of last season

quasi wedge
#

yeah but even more

It's just generally better

#

Flag ramping up juices your second sectec may more than the first

guide says it was 0.3-0.4% but became 1% with current tier

"I only recommend optimizing for it after being comfortable with all parts of the rotation, as it requires extra buttons to set up. "

Yeah, but doing this will also prepare you for changes

  1. That’s correct
  2. wA doesn’t support sub
void ocean

Thats why u want them as tight as possible

with 4 seconds remaining

if this isnt a bug then this guy wasted a sec tec which wasn't empowered by CD's

The clones hit after the cast. You’re putting blades in before they hit

And they r shadow

Tho i still fire sblades before

haughty rose

although i don't see any benefits in this

void ocean
#

I mean i dont believe theres a serious difference in using sb just before or just after

#

probably not yeah. some do it like this some don't

same with dance > backstab > symbols instead dance > symbols > backstab

lilac stag
haughty rose
#

i can see why this makes sense but i've watched quite a few top sub rogues timelines and some do it some dont

lilac stag
#

You want dance up at specific times

#

You want sod at specific times

#

Both relevant on other CDs

#

I would read method guild or IV or wowhead guides

#

There’s a number of moving parts. Each has different optimizations

#

To min max dps

#

Top logs aren’t always correct

#

Just happen to have better rng while playing mostly correct

haughty rose
#

i think i know wowheads sub guide in and out

#

but it only tells you so much

@vale pine where’s the other 5% of sub and why isn’t in the guide. Lol

lilac stag
#

Literally all 3 tell you everything you need.

haughty rose
#

it's only logical. the best guide in the world can't tell you all the little details.

lilac stag
#

You haven’t met sub rogue guide writers

void ocean
#

I didnt even get around that sd into backstab into sod, what is that opt

void ocean
lilac stag
#

Like I said Wowanayler isn’t supported and what you’re going to get out of it is extremely limited.

void ocean
#

E.g. fdk channel has memes in pins 🤣

lilac stag
#

The 95% sub rogue guilde is know how to do your flag & sblades window. Everything else is covered in the guides. Learning the specific fights is up to the individual based on what your raid needs dmg wise and where/when.

#

there’s no hidden tech not being shared

void ocean
#

Also it depends who u raid with, if u raid with some op folks who deliver tons of deeps, ur fights will be shorter and ur parses will be higher

haughty rose
#

true but what i'm saying is that those tiny little details like hitting blades before sectec aren't covered by the guide but you can see on wowanalyzer that people do it like that and there, most likely, is a reason behind it even tho it's just 20k more dps or whatever

lilac stag
#

The guide tells you what you’re supposed to be doing. Hitting blades before or right after Sectech is a wash. You’re literally hitting it mid gcd

void ocean
#

I macroed it 🤣

#

My "bomb" macro has trinket sb and sec tech

Not sure what you are looking for, but it doesn't exist

Never underestimate the time and effort sub rogues put into their apl and TC work only to have it torn apart by wowanalzer rotation searching.

plush roost
#

Like there really isn't anything secret techy with sub rogue out of the guide

lilac stag
#

The actual percents killed me. Why did I look here at 4am. omegalul

plush roost
#

They tell you coldblood on second sec tec, coup first in dance if its up is .6% gain, sblades on or between sec tec

#

Its all there

lilac stag
#

Think it’s closer to 1%

#

.6 was old tier

plush roost
#

I made the number up I just know its a gain lmfao

lilac stag
#

fuu literally put in ez mode and more advanced mode gains

#

In the guide

plush roost
#

Fuu is quite literally the goat

#

Best part is all the tech is also in the pins usually so anything new you can check the pins for

#

you're not really farming sectec cdr between cds as hard as when you're in cds

plush roost
#

15% finisher increase and the cdr on sec tec between dances doesn't really matter because you're restricted by dance and sod cds

tribal blade
#

getting sectec up faster just means you can use your next dance+symbols quicker but you don't get extra casts

#

isn't it amazing having cdr attached to spells we don't get extra casts of

plush roost
#

Well you say rhat

#

But on sprocket i got 2 extra sec tecs off between dances and cds due to having to hold for a bit

I love people doing their own research but don’t make assumptions that anything is hidden by all three of the guide writers.
