yes they work differently from eachother
we wiped far too many times and I just started looking for tiny things to do since i was waiting to kill the bosslol
ones from the mob hit by the poison other one is a global DR
Also sorry for the double question but cinderbrew feels awful as sub, any tips for dealing with the brew drops. Takes forever for me to help kill feels like I slow the team down a lot

where did my DM go?
that was one of the reasons i just swapped to sin for the rest of sprocket prog
even though i had progged most of the fight as sub
i was just fed up
i'm enjoying doing absurd overall in keys as sin
We were so close to stix last night. Unfortunate balls running into each other at 5% and bouncing into a bomb.
surely they buff sub soon
so i dont have to play assa all of farm to do competitive dmg with my guildies
RIGHT?
i dunno dude, i was holding out hope but i don't trust the devs
it aint the class devs that decided tuning
ah ok, i actually have no idea who does tuning tbh
bruh literally all i try is to get better
isnt that channel for it? to ask questions? even if they sound dumb too some?
Will they buff sub well is the real question 
There’s a difference between sounding dumb and blasting the guides for missing 5% info / dmg or whatever the fuck ya think is hiding
i don't assume anything except that a text guide only can tell you that much. seeing how things are done is always better and wowanalyzer is the only tool i can think of
You might have a better time looking at lorrgs
Or having a look at the top performing sub logs
and i did not blast the guide sorry if it sounded like that. wowhead is doing gods work and i'm only at the point where i can and want to milk more out of this spec because of it
pretty sure the text guides have same pictures you’re looking at on WA, just correct and not getting player mistakes added in.
considering wowanalyzer isnt being kept up to date then yeah, looking at logs is better
isn't wowanalyzer basically logs?
no
It's easier to give advice or improvement suggestions with a concrete question than a nebulous 5% thing. Having a look at the top logs / lorrgs, etc and learning the why of choices made is gonna go further.
And then you can (if needed) ask questions about those and people'll be able to help
yall are focusing too much on my 5% call fr
no we’re not
not remotely no
i read like 5 times people mentioning it
that’s your view, and you’re arguing the fact
I'm just using it as an example as how it's nebulous and doesn't help give good advice in response
when we are all literally telling you the guides are how you should be playing it
Lorrgs can help with adjusting for mechanic timings
And logs can be really useful to see the way people open, or shift their focus or move things around.
anyways. glfh. Moving on.
Esp with the variance of different group setups
Wowanalyzer needs someone to code it so its setup to the way sub is supposed to be played so it can show you what you did wrong in a log
and nobody is keeping it up to date
to my knowledge
no one is
it should still have a big fat warning on it
it used to at least
Assuming it still does
its just a lot of work
cause
a lot of things need to be coded in first, as in how the abilities works
I mean just post the log and have people that know the specs look at it
so the analyzer can properly analyze it
yeh i know
They can also give reasons to why you change something
alot of work for not alot of return
and then you have to code things to anlayze the data if you want people to get good advices
"you have not used as many backstabs as top logs"
ye i mean
what i vaguely remember from it
if you have a bad implementation of wowA ye
i talk about the timeline thingy from wow analyzer not my own ones
but some specs have great implementations
isn't it updated everytime someone posts a log?
analyzes your cds windows, your ramps, where you did mistakes and shit
not just comparing stuffs
no cuase
you need to code stuffs
idk that much about what can go wrong for sub for example
it's kinda like raidbots simming
but for outlaw
i imagine
where it looks like that.
you need to exclude all the casts that arent casts for example
make sure the cooldowns are proper durations (code the talnet interactions etc, if stuffs resets you need to code that)
yeah no i'm not talking about that part of wowanalyzer but the timeline when the selected player hit which button etc
ye thats what im talking about here
Also hi graham
How are things going
good!
Nice nice
for outlaw for example, when i was doing it , i had to code the fact that fth secondaries shots arent real casts, same for a few other things, had to make sure all the cooldowns were proper, some werent working with restless blades for example
Times all 13s yesterday and got my first 14 times
then the timeline is all messed up
very nice
Just gonna start trying to get premades tho
if you dont have everything proper
ah i gotcha. thought that's done automatically but i'm not too much into the technical side of that
i just need to time a 15 cinderbrew and i'll have resil 15
i'm running with a set team atm, but we're not super hard pushing
Ah ok
the only thing that is automatic is the timeline picking up all your casts, which at this point its the same timeline as the wcl one
Yea minus a cinder 13 pugged everything so far
all the rest isnt really
Yesterday I was top dps in all4 groups
Pugs are so inconsistent and horrid
yeah i'm currently probably around 100 or so points lower than i would be if i was pushing like i did back in the day
just from the ease i can pug remaining 15s i need and time em
carrying the other dps
The problem is pugs are inconsistent
Like the 14 DFC I did was easier than it on a 13 12 and even 11
i did find good pugs today to time 15 rookery and 15 flood
Because I had a good tank and healer
they didn't do good dmg, but they didn't int
We had like multiple minutes left and 0 deaths
very nice
It’s so infuriating how pugs just hold things back
Because I know I can play my class n such well
But just pugs can’t heal properly
yup that's the price of pugging your way to push IO
it's why if you're gonna pug to title you have to play absurd hours for the entire season
so you can ride the wave of the good players
and not get left behind
once you get left behind it's a bit hard to catch back up because you're relying on playing with subpar people
but if you play really well you'll rise above
Yea I’m trying to find a push group but from what I’ve seen BM is the worst hunter spec atm
Due to balance this season, worse still isn’t bad
I did and it ain’t my thing
Having to stand still defeats the point of me playing hunter
Plus it’s proc based
Surv is fun as hell tho and can still hit hard
Saw someone press mongoose bite for 42 million
but then you're kinda stuck to being melee again
although surv is kinda half melee half ranged
You can spoon feed stuff to a pug and it's still a gamble if they ever pay attention or make an effort.
Not really
Aspect of the hawk
@tribal blade are you running
or
in ToP?
Also bombs and kill command and explosive shot
i just run bleed everywhere now
the ST is kinda meh but it doesn't matter when you blow everything up in aoe
also every boss in ToP has at least 1 extra target during the fight
did you swap to IW for last boss? I swear we’re light on stops
you need one cc or one kick per add everything blow up
they also die really fast
even if kicks go thourgh shit does 0 damage anywya
picking up IW means you lose a fuckton of damage
yeah idk we did one and it seemed like we were missing something
a dh tank probably
It was late and last key so skill issue
if you're scared for them just hold vanish charges for the adds
Warrior, Rogue, Hunter Boomie & Priest. Check no DH. Haha
you guys have plenty of stops
never running sub comp
Fucking skyfury
it makes me play worse because i get tilted and then i do even less dam
save me from this eternal suffering
BUT at least as sin you don't feel it
but my group has a sham 😉
as outlaw its like 15/20% more damage when you play with your raid buffs
and the meta comp doesnt run any
so your spec is just 15% worse
for no reason
the squishvegan comp
i mean its worse as sub even
at least sub benefit from dh
i guess
there is that
yeah you gain something like 50% of the dh buff
we’re casually pushing, I’m just happy to have a consistent group to play with tbh
TRUE
if you could convince your hunter to swap to sham you would have a great time
i feel like such an idiot, man, i had seaforium in my vault as myth like 3 times in a row, but i never took it cuz my sims told me its not worth it and now i find out it's the most sought after trinket on archon........
Our boomie has been a one trick since wrath
is he playing MM?
He goes between mm and bm no cd
good for all 3 rogue specs, tragic
bm pets tilt me
U tilt me
Archon is dumb, sims are smart

SHEEEEEEEESH
oh wee wee je sweet
?????
What drugs are u on
only the best drugs
Oh
Sub hopium
also... i finally got the bis raid os weapons for outlaw, but i have so much mastery since i main sub that main gauge is literally up there with between the eyes lol
How cool is that
censi are you still french?

Im hyppopotomonstrosequipedaliophobic
Dont go rude on me

very niche chemistry term
bet you would do a good french scath
possibly. I grew up with a French Canadian family next door. I taught them Chicago accent. They taught me Quebec accent.
quebec accent 
Imagine we tell us you could be à good french
And your answer contain "french canadian"


I would be good at a horrible accent, as in good for laughs
Keep up
I wish my neighbours ever taught me something cool
Better with a German accent
rammstein taught me everything I needed to know that high school German failed to give me.
Mine taught me how to hide bodies
Can be usefull
Did they teach you to bury the bodies and plant endangered species plants over it so they may never be disturbed?

I cant leak it all

Any guide will, but you can use this website to see how people line up cooldowns in detail to get your 100%
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
oh that's smart
I can emphathize with wanting to squeeze out the last bits of juice of a spec
Most of the times it's coming from people who don't get their opener right, though 
Maybe I am too jaded 😅
youre more violet than jade
I've strayed from the path
where's the Intellect?
oh wait, not mage. rip
recraft it to crit/mast so you can use it on both specs
meh
it's not even noticeably better on OAB
and with the current gear, Rik's barrels are a joke anyways
my gut tells me that we wouldnt have gotten nerfed as much pre-season if transmitter hadn't existed
kinda just cosmetic anyways considering all the other specs that carry that fight
It’s def better for our comp on stix but that an us thing
what is?
oh
Range and target swapping. 
Lol ours were inting ranged barrel on rik prog last night
range were dps-whoring on the melee stack
Literally watching me and our DH fly around the fucking room on replays
and melee had to run to the far add all the time
maybe I have to play ranged next season
not sure I can take another season of this
At the end of the night I asked him how much he enjoyed hitting the melee adds. 
I started trying to send VE portal at times
actively considering this too lol
we're like 9-10 melee and 5-6 ranged iirc
yeah, our ranged are currently busy dropping drills on melee
hunter arc
:^)
we have a hunter that just refuses to do mechanics bc "I get 5fps"
but has no problem complaining about all the mythics they run and gear they don't get
yeee I know its not a pc issue bc its literally only when they get asked to do stuff like toys on cauldron
How many addons do they have installed
lmfao they're bottom third anyways
HERESEY
Don’t tell them that
LIES!
It's hilarious bc our other hunter is one of the most mechanically solid ranged players I've ever played with and makes the class look fantastic
he's normally a lock but swapped
yeah hunters tend to do that 
because they know they will be on mechanic duty
as if that stops them from parsing

Sorry. I’m SV. Only melee mechanics
i once joined a pug group to do heroic
and we were at sprocket
leader goes "hunters do bombs"
a bm hunter says "i'm not doing that i want to parse"
leader goes "then leave" and kicks him

SV objectively best hunter spec
then the bm proceeds to show us how special he is and why the hunter stereotypes exist by pulling the boss to wipe the group
Bravo
to be fair, if the only reason he joined the group was to parse
it makes sense on both sides
no hard feelings to kick the guy ^^
i'm doing that the next time i'm in mythic with my guild
"nah i'm not doing that, i want to parse"
This is what happens when you give away my kicks to the benched boomie
won't you have time to coup before the shadow hits of sectec though? I have trouble seeing why it would be a dps increase and not just lose the possibility of you using a dry sectec
you'd have to build in between
Share bandit tech once you kill. I think we extend starting next week and stix dies.
seems pretty alright so far, just mostly turn off all your addons you don't need for the fight
so your frames don't shit the bed
and hard swap to adds as sub so you can prog the boss
Delays anything or the timings line up?
i haven't looked at the entire fight yet
but so far it's basically lining up dances with adds
and your 2nd cd set lines up pretty much perfectly with the fixate adds coming out
so you do big dam to them
You have to hold it a little ye
And send right before boss phase basically
But then I think the boss is fairly intuitive
Where you just kinda never dance on boss
And always dance on reel assistant
Unless it's 2 min timers
Cause then they die anyway so you can do whatever you want with these dances
Like if you hold the 2 min dance you are able to send on the 3 little guys spawning quickly after for example
so far the fight doesn't feel that bad to me
i tought the fight was really good for sub while progging it
granted we had a terrible comp
but i did very usefull damage to the melee reel assistant
and sub was soloing the 1min30 pop for us '
so clearly felt fine
Im guessing lockesprock doesn’t matter what you play.
yeah sub so far feels great on bandit
if you don't want to get tilted by the boss facing you and losing FW play sin
sin does more dam on locken anyways
So get tilted by KB parry. ✅
outlaw boss no cap
I’ve got the haste vers fist on mythic track. Maybe we 
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.
We are basically a macroless spec
There are a couple that are ok if you have the non-macro as well
different lengths, and different following casts since flag wants you to spend the global after and blades wants you to build
thats what I thought, flag is popped before even dance or symbols.
I think my only macros are Sectech and CB (Sectech still bound separately) and HoC to SBlades
same, anything else is either pointless or redundant
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
!bs
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.
^ for macros
i have shadowstrike and backstab macro'd into the same key depending on whether i am in stealth mode or not
Love you all and your large brains
thats fine too
ait thanks
You're assuming you have 7 stacks of sht already available which is almost never the case. There are very few opportunities to dry sec tec in most encounters. You can maybe find 1 and its more of a loss to look for it than to use coup->sec tec during a shadow dance anyway
The real problem with macros, in my experience, is that for every situation you can think of them potentially working there will be countless iterations where they wont.
I had an opening one when all cds ready but all it did was delay learning how to do it manually for the 99% of the times I needed to know the rotation
i just do mine in steps, I have symbols/dance macro'd, CB and Sectec macro'd and when I find I have mental bandwidth or I find a specific thing i'm doing to be an issue, I just address it then. But because something is macro'd doesn't mean you can't then also manually do it
Ah that’s true. Yeah I guess the potential dry sectec is not worth losing 15% on dance sectec + an unseen blade stack over
my cracked version of this
!wa
I'll show you cracked
When I was starting out, this is what I sent when cds were up and I had CPs ready to go
/castsequence reset=10 Flagellation, Rupture, Symbols of Death, Shadow Dance, Backstab, Shadow Blades, 14, !Cold Blood, Secret Technique
@paper iron

There is one more
But I can't share that one
It's so undercooked and ignorant
I keep it as a reminder never to touch the csq world again lol
Ya but disc priests killed any joy of pvp
so are sectec clones not hitting on Rookery first and last boss ?
cause my damage distribution on bosses this dungeon is very sus
last boss i havent reported any issue myself
🤔
first boss dont send any sectech while he s in the middle

idk eviscerate was above sectec for me on the last boss so I thought it was sus
and here i thought it was smart for me to go sub on this key for bosses
outplayed
Check the breakdown of the damage done by sectech, you should see the damage done by yourself and akaari separately
If akaari is missing or making up less than ~80% then the clones didn't hit
most of the time in st evis will be higher dont worry
How much is the damage Amp from rookery last boss?
dudes
does anyone have a dank weak aura that reminds you to pre symbols before pull???
for the extra supercharger stacks
i forget all the time
exactly, thats why I want that aura
hely guys hope yall havin a woderful day so far, question on wowhead i wanna try ds in keys and it says that cause of all the shadow dmg dark brew builds are good but you still take the rotten over dark brew any reason why?
Sims probably
Iirc the main point is to enable FW with shuriken storm in aoe
In m+ that's pretty important
makes sense ty
Dark brew is only + 10% right? Along with some damage conversion
real quesiton for ds do you ever use tornado in ST?
if not then raidbots be trippn using that in st XD
ds is cool but it desperately needs an overhaul. It's not an m+ spec and it's arguably not a ST raid spec
!wa
dave you're insane
tyvm
What's the apm requirement to play sub well? I hear lots of complaints about outlaw but aren't we in the 70's as well
I gotchu bb
david helping the david out
outlaw is overall more APM, even when sub is in burst window
thats what i've seen people say in here
Yeah but compared to each other what's the difference
sub in burst = 70ish
sub outside = 30-40
outlaw all the time = 80-90
sub has a few gcds every 90 seconds that are very high apm
outlaw has that apm all the time
if i had to make a comparison, actually pressing the right buttons is more difficult on sub for those few gcds but there's 0 decisionmaking involved, outlaw is very very chaotic until you know exactly what you're doing
the hard part of playing sub is the thinking, the hard part of playing outlaw is the doing
(the hard part of playing assa is the not falling asleep)
I mean, there is one proc you react to.
Si
is sht really a random proc? You know when it will happen in 99% cases
You got a good idea, for sure.
But this wouldn't be the internet if you didn't get one pedantic as fuck response right? 😛
There's two procs actually, sht that you mentioned and the one to apply fazed

No there's three procs sub has to react to. The third is the tank without omniCD
And you never know when that proc is gonna come up
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Just out of curiosity, how far behind is deathstalker in ST?
About 5%
Is it? There were optimizations and TC in the tc channel that put ds 200k ahead
Or I saw that said at least
just sim it and figure it out i guess

Hey is there a % of haste minimum for m+ ?
as little as possible
always
haste bad
but also sim
Ok ty ❤️ and about Mastery and Versa are there really equal or thats change for mono/multi ?
I'm at 6% haste actually
I wonder why dont they dont want to change haste for sub and mastery for outlaw
having one "bad" stat isn't that impactful
if they wanted haste to be good, a easy way to make it is to add talents which convert it to something useful
having diffrences between classes is also what fundermentally makes the game fun
it is why i was and still am not a big fan of "giving everything to everyone" which happened on rogue a lot in DF
for dps, it can make sense to give diffrent identities or add something due to missing parts
e.g. if your spec is not good in cleave damage but also not good in single target, there might be something wrong in design that needs fixing
but diffrent amounts of scaling from stats is rarely relevant, mostly if blizz adds excessive amounts of a stat via a gameplay mechanic like on one of the last bosses in DF or in pandaria remix
I dont mind specs getting "everything" as long as its not exactly how we have it now on sub, one talent setup, almost same rotation up to 7 targets etc...
i like when u have to change talents a bit regarding the fight, change rotation etc
but having it all on one spec saves time for us who cant rly gear up all specs fast enough
I think many will say the opposite
having flexible talents which work in both st and aoe is also a strength
its just not tuned in a way to shine
true, but it becomes a bit stale imho
i think what would be nice is to have some of the unused/bad talents reworked
so you have more good option and can, even tho overall only slightly
specialize
e.g. i rly like the idea of getting the sylvanas dagger effect as a talent in the last tier
the effect is a mostly single target effetc, so it competes in single target vs. aoe
it also adds some small amount of execute to the spec
having it means you would need to trade off one of the other talents to get
so you either sacrafice flexibility or lower your aoe damage etc.
The key issue is that WoW's combat doesn't really demand diversity.
Maybe there's a spec that's really cool — it only needs to do ONE full rotation every minute, dealing damage for 10 seconds, and then it can do whatever it wants for the rest of the time. But setting aside Mythic+, what kind of raid encounter design could support that? Can raid encounters be tailored specifically for that one spec? And if a "DPS that can handle mechanics most of the time" becomes mandatory, isn't that unfair to other specs?
In interviews, the designers said they hoped liberation of undermine would challenge raid groups in terms of diversity—for example, testing mobility. But in the end, it actually limited group diversity rather than increasing it.
Do u use spenders on 6 or 5 cp
I think its a old problem of rogue
e.g. legion and bfa you rarely did not just default to assassiantion
because it did everything you needed for the raids and was always tuned the best
we are in a similar situation since DF s3 again
but encounters give some benefits to specs, e.g. subtlety is quite good on the last boss, the problem is the boss is tuned too low and as such it barely matters
in contrast the hardest boss of the tier is mugzee
where selecting spec matters a lot, assassination can do noticable more on the fight than the other 2 specs
i am unsure what's a healthy amount of niche is, how much should a spec be allowed to beat others and how many niches are fair when the baseline is ver ysimilar?
My view has always been that there are too many specializations. Blizzard should consider removing some of them. (should, tho impossible)
specs under a single class are, in essence, not that different from having different talent builds on one tree — you’ll always just pick the strongest one.
Casting different-colored fireballs using different-named resources doesn’t actually bring any meaningful difference to the gameplay experience.
And they obv lack resources to maintain/balance all of that
More often than not, 3-dps classes end up with one spec being dead
I feel like rogue is even more limited than the other 3 dps classes
Because it's melee
Sub is coolest spec in game just wish it wasn't overshadowed by the other rogue specs constantly
I mean with the aura stuff we could have a good balance if blizz had the balls to just buff/nerf specs every week and also admit mistakes and correct nerfs of the past. Holy shit why do we still have the high energy cost nerf and also got sectec nerfed?
i'm having a slight identity crisis because it feels like i'm on the never ending hamster wheel of trying to main sub when we get treated like this
i have just accepted it
main it until you cant
then play whatever is ~~meta ~~ rogue spec doenst suck because stats dont matter
yeah i'm just fully a sin main in keys right now
although i might use sub in workshop or ToP maybe
lol exactly
im probably doing everything wrong but sin is in aoe is so mongo bongo
i just do damage anyway
i do do 0 boss damage though 🙂
Play +10 only and every key is big pulls 
the boss dam is nothing to write home about, but it's passable
sin makes up for it by doing really high aoe every single pull
and then your boss dam is very good whenever there are multiple targets
i feel like im competing with the tank on boss damage
it's not quite that bad i feel
yeah like i said im probably playing assi wrong
i think it's kinda rough because you feel like you should be filling every single gcd
PepeHands
there's a lot of just not pressing globals playing bleed in ST
I remember DF S3 when you were one of the few that actually pushed all their keys as sub
Was also gunning for title, my mates wanted to force me to roll outlaw
You inspired me to keep playing sub
you see the thing is i'm kind of not willing to put that much effort and suffering into pushing keys anymore
nice! that's awesome to hear
past tense now you filthy spec traitor 
I AM A TRAITOR
we all are 
i'm still playing sub in raid though
and eating everything stew to get some haste in keys for sin 
I don't remember exactly but from top 10 at the time you might have been the only that had their highest score as sub
Others had higher outlaw keys
Except maybe Kush but that lad is mad
i'm playing sub on bandit, i'm having a blast so far
i got a lot of shit for playing sub that season
"why no outlaw"
"why sub"
a lot of getting kicked from groups when they saw i wasn't outlaw
granted it's true, outlaw was fucking broken that season so can't blame em
they most likely resurrect aug next season after their "hiatus" of having aug dead right now
"aug has been a mandatory spec since it's inception, kill it for a season"
most likely blizz's thinking
pushing keys becomes miserable again once aug is back on the menu
the game is just miserable with aug
whats the point of details
with an aug in the group
i dont understand the people who like to play with aug
so they can see even bigger number on their details
then again people like fake big boobs so who am i to judge
Holy shit you're on to something
What's the crossover between wow players who enjoy playing with an aug in their dungeons and guys who like fake Vs naturals...
when aug is good it does make keys way easier having them
since your entire group is just tankier and hps is higher
but the fact that it just deletes 1 dps spot in every key group is incredibly cringe
they also have crazy good utility
lets not act like the meta picks don't exist now without aug
its dk boomy mage everywhere
The chance we get something after 11.1.5 is still there 
my group plays dk mage rogue :D
(they are gearing my boomy as we speak)
(send help i dont wanna reroll)
i have my moments of absurd brilliance
its kinda true though right
some people dont care that it's fake
!wa
I'm not one of those guys and I hate aug
Our sample size of 1 checks out
stats dont lie
i also am not one of those guys and i also hate aug
2/2 proven success rate
Brb writing dissertation on it
67% of augs agree that all the stats related to this topic are fabricated
Is it sadge for me to macro SD and Symbols together? Also Flag and Shadow Blades
I tried playing sub that season to actually learn how to play it for last bit of fall
Also SD and shadow strike lol
never got past the ST rotation
fun tho
being forced to play a different spec for an m+ boss just shouldnt happen
no don't do any of those things
and not like forced cause its slightly faster either was legit not a choice lmao
You don’t use them together?
yeah that was the only place of the season sub was actually good
dance and strike you use together yes
there's an issue with dance+strike macros where there's now lag
if you can use it without it lagging too much then it's fine
those other macro ideas you had are very bad, don't do it
Even if I have a separate binding for symbols?
it's not good because for your 2nd dance in cds it'll royally mess things up
you will either not have supercharger on your sectec in 2nd dance
or you'll have to delay your 2nd dance till sectec is less than 10 secs remaining on cd
which means you risk dropping your tier stacks and not having your 2nd dance in the entire of blades
blades is 16 secs, and dance is 8 secs
so you need to chain dances back to back in flag and blades
so it'll fit into blades
but sectec won't come off cd till midway through your 2nd dance
secret technique
you want to make sure you're supercharging that spell
(capstone talent in the class tree)
sectec rework when
Can anynone answer my question about the Rik Reverb fight: if a player goes for removing the energy of an amp, he will have a debuff for 45sec. My question is: as a rogue, if I do this and gets the debuff, can i then instant remove the debuff with shadow cloak ? For example to go for an other amp after. Or, if the claok doesn't remove the debuff, would i have to then use cloak just before doing the second amp to not get the damages ?
You can't remove the debuff but you can avoid the dmg
Still above aug
i suspect blizz wants aug to be dead for a season
because since it's inception it has been hogging the limelight
and making comp issues very frustrating
I want it even more nerfed tbh
they should just shoot the spec
cool experiment, didn't work, just made the game far worse
gg move on
is ret rly that bad
it would have been a good concept if they introduced it way earlier in wow's history
honestly no idea, didn't realize they were that down bad
same
tho im not rly fan of those joined up results
"all bosses, all ilvls, all percentiles at once"
Im not against them trying new archetypes or class design in wow tbf, im pretty sure they will still release them and some will work
some wont
fair
Game evolves, wouldnt still play wow if it was the same as it was in cata
95th percentile
well one thing never changes 😄
i'm very sure aug looks that down bad because literally nobody is playing it
because any evoker who has a brain is playing dev atm
they do suck yes, but it's made worse by that
they have nothing to complain about though, look at their alternate spec literally topping the charts
Feel like sin gets carried by vexie and stix
might be yeah
Even though it's kinda alright
Not as big of a pumper as last season, but it's a little delusional to think your class has to be top 3 everytime
Subtlety on the other hand is down bad for sure
it's just insulting how blizz treats sub
every time i see a ray of sunshine that leads me to think things are changing
we go back to stuff like this
I'll have another look into how much transmitter took away from us
By making early season look like we're alright
that was pretty bad
but it's a whole other level of seeing us at the bottom of the charts and being the only spec down there not tuned
Could swear some other classes gained like 70k+ with new trinkets, while we gained like 10k at mythic hoc vs mythic transmitter 
I will never not be mad at ret and bm not being bottom two in the 95th percentile
the huge amount of passenger princesses on those specs would revolt
Is the difference between ER and Forced Induction that big?
Or can you play ER if you want
Without losing too much
We also drop lower the chart when u go to higher percentile so we on avg play nearer our top parses than other classes
also called rogue skill diff
I guess that is what happens when there are only 10 of us left
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
How many spenders during CD's do you estimate you get
So I know if I can send first dance + CD's when it's 10 seconds left of the second charge
or 15
and so on
!nodamage
!opener
I wonder what it would look like if they didn’t nerf the tier set
i wonder too
for people who still have to use transmitter, do you sectec before doing the mini game or do you always wait to complete the mini game first for the first sectec of opener?
ideally you complete as you do first sec tech
sometimes i delay it too long and miss the 2nd cast of sectec in the blades window, that seems like a mistake? better to just send before mini game is done to make sure i get 2 casts of sec tect in blades window?
Send sectec then complete is fine because the clone hits are delayed
guys i`m losing my mind everyday i change my recraft stats one day assa next day i miss sub so again... wtf should i do
just play assa with sub gear and maybe change 1 ring assa likes all stats you can even stack versa on it and its not that bad
Play whatever you enjoy the most. Don't chase the tier list
Is it just me or are sub rogues getting the short end of the stick
While aiming for those high parses i have observed some of the top sub sin rogues. Similar ilvl both 97 parse
400k dps diff
One spec got nerfed before the start of the season - other got buffed
But half a mil difference.... blizz jsut doenst give a damn i guess
We ususaly climb abit towards the end of the patch or is that not the case?
Other way around, we start decent and then get outscaled
hey guys! Is anyone knows the best sim options for aoe dps ?
multiple patchwerk targets
5-6 targets around 2-3 min?'
duration should not matter as much if you want to sim sustained aoe
but somewhere between 5-8 targets is usually considered aoe
yeah about my sustained aoe. Actually wanna sim some trinkets
to see which of them to choose
perfect then
Do you have to be an Engineer to use jumper cables?
No
i have 658 hoc and seemingly have no luck getting hero version or eye of kezan. Is it worth to get transmitter still or and can that even be done reasonably?
It is not worth to get a transmitter now, especially considering it was a sidegrade to 658 hoc at 639, and it can now only be obtained at 629.
is a 2.3mil 5min patchwork sim low for 667 ilvl?
i am absolutely awful in raid and trying to figure out why
!TRICKS
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
Why is the dark brew build sometimes being talked about here not on the wowhead guide ? If i understand correctly it seems like it is the build simming the highest, yet is not played according to data sites, and not talked about on guides so i'm a little bit confused 😅 .
The first dance's value is greatly underestimated in dungeon slice, however it is actually extremely strong in keys. The rotten benefits more from the first dance than dark brew, so it ends up outperforming dark brew.
You mean tfd value is a sim trap with dark brew ?
I would say "sim trap" refers to something that sims higher than you would expect in game, so tfd is the opposite of a sim trap in dungeon slice. This applies to both the rotten and dark brew builds, both are better with tfd, but dungeon slice doesnt show this.
this is the post fuu made about it a while ago
Ok i think i get it : tfd is undersiming, and tfd has a higher synergy with the rotten than dark brew, that why dark brew is siming higher, but in reality the rotten is more likely to perform better
am i right ?
Yeah exactly
Perfect 🙏 thanks, it's clearer now
The rotten also is basically the same playstyle as what youre doing in raid, so its easy to take it into dungeons.
You give up wm for tfd and wm is like bad
are there any pre pull shenanigans besides 1x symbols for supercharger?
Vanish when mobs are at 5% hp for tfd in m+ when the tank inevitably chainpulls
Stock up on em
They can be a lifesaver
I believe the ones they s season are
Convincingly realistic jumper cables
Correct me if I’m wrong on that
i believe they are on the auction house and therefore i would assume that they can be used by non-engineers
yo guys, how do we sim sub for m+?
guys in rik did you start full cd at pulling?
There is no "Rotation"...You have to use ur brain, think 2-3 steps ahead, check route before starting the key and adapt quickly to situations
Or maybe I understood ur question wrong 😅
does phys comp work well w sub or is secret tech all shadow?
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
U either cd on pull and then do ur first out of cd sec tech on the first add set or u delay flag by 10-14 sec such that the end of ur cooldowns hit the first adds
But take a look at what peps are doing and see what works for u
i cd on pull but hold subsequent for pyros cuz my guild sucks at doing them without me
fuckers just wont let me blast in peace
Phys comp Is best for sub yes. Buff priority is shaman > monk > warrior > etc
Which part are you struggling with?
!log
I don’t think monk is better than warrior buff
I don’t think it’s even close
Mystical touch is kinda bad no?
No
I was doing Sims, with no raid buff skyfury was like 130k warrior was 80 or 90 or something and monk was super close to sky fury amount after that
I'll double check when I get back
You typically don't get access to monks is the main reason you dont get it more
You get access to it in raid, I never simmed it but monk buff from my experience wasn’t considered very good
While battle shout is goated
If I cast secret techniques with like 1s left on house of cards will all of the damage benefit from it?
as far as i know no
your clones need to be in the house of cards window for them to benefit from it
since snapshotting doesnt exist anymore
hmmm ok it's probably worth sending instead of getting that last dance macbre stack then
for sure

Pind?
No check lorrgs.io. It’s like 10sec delayed
!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.
🐇 good morning subtlety chat
Good morning, Fuu. I hope you have a nice easter.
thanks, same to you, happy easter ^^
guten morgen mein hehr
I ask people to tell me a Mythic mechanic in their note to join my Mythic raid pug. My new favourite guy is a 6/8N mage who just wrote "I have deadly boss mods so I know the mechanics"
Starting to think running a Mythic pug on Easter sunday wasn't my smartest idea
Based
does the pre supercharger tech work for dungeons
Yes
I killed Mug HC with pugs so it seems its working 😄
Hell yeah

thx Eleem
Anyone know the approximate dmg increase it is to pre-SoD in a 1 target 5 min scenario?
Like 0.2% or so
Get a 25sec pulltimer 
not rly, you just use symbols once you get a res and cba after
yea since we dont really play rotten in raid anymore, just use it for supercharger now
Oh dang, that’s way bigger than I expected
Does The Rotten reset on pull?
No
the impact of the crit is extremely low tho
so the supercharger points are the main gain
It was a joke
Sub so forgotten people cant even find the proper channel
Half the time were talking about assi m+ rotation here
why is my quicksim 5 and 6 target presses bp ? i thought it was a 7+ target button. seems like 5t presses it randomly, and 6t presses it like a default spender
@vale pine
@tepid trellis
if its randomly pressing at 5 targets
its probably for danse macabre
i'd do that if its in first dance
prob should wait for fuu to answer tho
it would press it outside of dance at 5 targets with no nimble, and last i checked its neutral ish at 6 so thats why it would do it on 6 unless they changed stuff since ive been MIA
if maybe i did something wrong with the sim :
5t https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vnyMQk1QDEhB2Lp9DaEbiN
6t https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bKN1LpdoLTypKYMsrrKWDp
thats true, it can happen without flawless form
this is the line for BP so
FW targets 5 or more
=5 yes
seems to be prioritizing black powder over eviscerate when its not inside of cds
inside of cds, it prioritizes evisc over bp
(inside of shadowdance on both situations)
outside of dance (no cds) it eviscerates
why is it blackpowdering in dance when not in cds?
and then evisc out of dance not in cds
would be based on FW targets
find weakness optimization
basically you would use bp if you have find weakness on all targets
5 or more targets with FW = BP
unbuffed no cheatings 100% mastery achieved 
I wish we could sim the agi gem with just 3 colors instead of 1 haste gem
I smoked 50k gold for gems in the last days until i snapped and went 20% crit rest into mastery 
This raid tier bs is such a burden with bosses you can't hit from the back sometimes
can you technically reset boss by using shuriken and vanishing

happy bunny stuff
happy easter to you too
hey fuu im pissed ok
11.1.5 is coming out and we're not getting horrific visions + we're not getting the dinars clown company pieces of shit
Dude they are hard at work
Probably working on the long awaited pala rework
It has been a couple weeks already
Is there a known bug with roulette wheel sims with raidbots? Droptimizer says its worth 45k dps, but top gear sim says its a downgrade?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iKG8BULcwfAXrPakqzPicf - Droptimizer
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qdrKQuazMutnyUAry8b9jt - Top Gear
or is there something else I've fucked up/not noticed
no gems on top gear sim ring 
yhea but idk still seems off
also enchant it!!
ah oke
new top gear with sockets puts it at ~9.5k, still nowhere near the 45k from droptimizer
i imagine droptimizer is fucked somehow, whether that's something I've messed up or smth wrong with the sim, 45k just seems a bit ridiculous given my current rings
!fuu

does any1 knows what dps gain sham buff gives us?
8-11% or smth like that
insane number

yea arround 10%
i dont play sub without sham buff, it feels bad and numbers are also bad
