#

Is it good?

short radish
#

depends on class

#

its good for fire mages

wide kernel
#

Sub?

short radish
#

no

wide kernel
#

We are like all cds

short radish
#

because it desyncs from trinket

wide kernel
#

How much of cdr is it

hazy breach
#

10s every 3 minutes

short radish
#

30% or something

hazy breach
#

30% faster cds for 30 seconds, so 10s overall

hazy breach
#

And they use it roughly at 45s and then roughly every 3 minutes

wide kernel
#

Every 3 min?

short radish
#

there is 0 chance

#

sub rogue is getting it

#

what else can you summon the power of blizzard to fix?

short radish
#

fire essentially gets cdr on that

#

we do not

wide kernel
#

It would effect the cdr of flag though yes

short radish
#

yes but our base CDR reduction stuff

#

does not affect it

wide kernel
#

It's probably a nothing burger but I go look into it

short radish
#

look at fire

#

and see how fire CDR works

wide kernel
#

I understand how it works yeah

short radish
#

you know how it differs from sub CDs then

#

autumn gets double impact essentially

#

well

#

fire gets double impact

#

sub doesnt really

#

we dont even get an extra dance

wide kernel
#

My question was does this impact flag enough to bring it's cd to somewhere near where we use our small cds

#

It would desync trinkets though so yeah

short radish
#

yeah

#

desyncs trinket

#

so its pointless

#

no point reducing 1:30 to 1:20

#

and holding for 10 seconds

wide kernel
#

It would actually bring ork racial to like 92.5 cd though

#

Whatever that's worth

#

Wait

#

Yeah 92.305 but idk where it goes from there

short radish
#

either way

#

desync trinket

#

all a big nothing burger

lilac stag
#

If you’re holding 3 seconds for Megan racial maybe decent but doubt that would be enough to warrant it.

#

Toss it on a spec that actually does dmg. garf_sit

wide kernel
#

Maybe a dance and symbols too who knows

#

i'm kickin ass on bandit so far

#

fun sub fight

random hare
#

can flag be parried still?

#

ior

#

is it just kingsbane that got fixed and we're left out?

lucid jackal
#

Never could be afaik

random hare
#

nah it was able to get parried in the past

#

im 100% sure

#

idk if it still can

#

we have fazed tho so that doesnt matter rly atm

lucid jackal
#

I'm 99% sure it can't be parried

random hare
#

cuz u become immune to parry anyway with that

#

im 100% sure it used to get parried

#

atleast in SL

lucid jackal
#

I played DS for a lot of nerbuar farm

random hare
#

because i remember not being able to get flag stacks

lucid jackal
#

And sub in DF

random hare
#

because of parry

#

it was haunting

#

its like

#

dying with 5 buffs

#

as outlaw

#

cannot forget

lucid jackal
#

Think it got changed as a talent

random hare
#

maybe ye

lucid jackal
#

Cuz I never had it happen to me a single time all of DF

#

But I remember getting KB parried multiple times

random hare
#

yeah KB is definitely common

Subtlety
Trickster: Fixed an issue that could cause Nimble Flurry to strike below the maximum number of available targets when fighting near dead enemies.

#

Blizzard claims they fixed sub as well

alpine wraith
#

flag can be parried

#

just it does not happen often

#

also only on boss fights

#

but now that i think about it i cant remember the last time it happened

since sl

but i had not fond memories of fucken denathrius parrying my flag

I hate Stix in pugs. I spend so much time fighting crabs left alone by ranged so horrible damage or we wipe

Haha, true

Just looking at the screen is an advantage in LFR though

but i also think many want it to be dissabled at least in mythic raids

it's just so weird

such a weird thing to put development time into

when there are so many other bigger things they. could be doing

warm marlin
#

fair warning for those reclearing

#

sprocket appears to die before the 5min flag

so probably worth doing the risky flag at 3min instead so u dont miss a cast

Can't delay flag at anytime any more

ye this reclear was brutal

mugzee dies 3s before dm comes up, bandit dies with 10s left before dm comes up, sprocket dies with 2s left before blades comes up

#

Hey, i've been playing rogue for about 4 weeks and im at around 670 ILVL now and mained assassination but i want to try sub rogue too. What should i aim to change my stats? Im also using hekili to get used to rotations, is it fine?

tight monolith
dark folio
#

Is it worth to swap my algari for crafted items?

tight monolith
#

but I mean you can prob try out fine with those stats but yeah in a more ideal setup you prob have 20-30 percent vers

tight monolith
#

maybe try get a high vers ring instead of your cinderbrew ring

#

maybe if you got 2 vers m+ rings run them both and drop circlet

dark folio
#

Oh i can try to look for that

vestal escarp

keen dome
#

You'd think it was the first time some of those people saw the boss dracthyr_kek

#

Pugs and reclearing is a strange beast because no one pug group will behave the same, so there's always a lot more random variance.

#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

Sim Patchwerk 5 mins

#

or dslice for gearing options

lilac stag
#

Now drop any haste you can

#

And get HoC or the PvP badge

#

Priory is shit for sub

keen dome
#

We always want a trinket that lines up with our cooldowns (So 1:30) to explain why.

dark folio
keen dome
#

PvP badge is a very good alternative until we get the cartel coins

dark folio
keen dome
dark folio
keen dome
#

It's a 1 minute cooldown, but we use it as a 1:30

#

Our cooldowns (Blades and Flag) are 1:30, and we want to fit as much damage and power into their windows as possible. Hence why Signet is bad, but HoC / PvP is very good.

Oh got it, gonna check them out

# keen dome

This is so funny that its a good trinket for sub lmao

hazy breach
#

It just shows how awful all trinkets are this season

sly shore
#

this is hekili

#

it seems to be like

#

40% worse dps output than playing correctly

#

on average at least

#

so would recommend learning to play the spec properly

#

from the start

#

this is not me calling you a bad player btw @dark folio just the tools you are using to learn are not really... optimal

dark folio
#

I was using hekili from the start, i know i need to stop using it cuz i realized its not optimal

#

Giving me to use rupture w 15 sec cd left n stuff but didnt realize it till yesterday xD

keen dome
#

It's all learning

#

And practice

dark folio
#

Used to play healer so i know im not god at dps tbh

sly shore
#

sub isn't worth playing without a trinket

#

so uh

#

get house of card or pvp badge

#

someone said that already

dark folio
#

Gonna try hoc cuz i dont play pvp enough to buy badge

keen dome
#

You don't have to pvp to get it, for what it's worth

#

Warmode -> join a Warcrate group -> 60 conquest per box. They spawn in each zone every 30? minutes.

#

Takes a bit, but it's super chill.

#

HoC is the better option, but the pvp badge doesn't require pvp if you need another choice 🙂

dark folio
#

Oh, can try it after this weeks heroic i guess

#

Trying to hit 2m dps w assass but not gonna happen w hekili 😦

keen dome
#

It will with practice. Just keep on keepin' on. We all start somewhere.

#

Ditch hekili and just have some fun practicing. Best way to do it, imo.

dark folio
#

Aity, will do my best 🙂

lilac stag
#

but yes, just keep working on understanding the specs and practice

vestal escarp
#

oh.....

#

so now we delay flag on Rik after the first Amp?

or just eat the hit and remove the stun with racial 😄

send cooldowns on barrels

the worst fckin feel when melee ones get blown up and then theres that one bastard far away that rangers couldnt get

"all melee go help"

#

That’s legit the only reason to play sub there

jaunty heath
#

Is it just a random normal thing or does evasion not work anymore on rik amplification

keen dome
#

It doesn't work anymore

jaunty heath
#

Bruh

#

why the fuck

keen dome
#

Good question

#

I saw a rogue die to it today which was funny

jaunty heath
#

I just got sent to sleep too doing normal for rep before raid

#

i was confused af

lilac stag
#

Faster to do last 4 bosses in lfr on an alt

#

at least on reset day it’s super quick

#

you may actually only need the two wings come to think of it

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Gally gives a load iirc

jaunty heath
#

sprocket is enough

#

like first through sprocket

keen dome
#

Yeah

jaunty heath
#

and with que times and lfr asspulling between bosses

keen dome
#

Normal is probably easier and faster

#

In my experience, anyway. normal has been more efficient and easier than LFR by a mile

jaunty heath
#

same lfr is too much of a shitshow xd

keen dome
#

the difficulty curve is fascinating this tier

lilac stag
#

Lfr on reset day is pro gamer mode

#

done with rep in 30-35 mins this week

tribal blade
#

i did 1 wing of lfr for rep which went fine

#

except for the group mass pulling trash

keen dome
#

haha

tribal blade
#

and then the healers being completely incapable of keeping anyone alive

#

and it just turned into 5-10 mins of everyone dying, running back and then dying all over again

#

actual clown show

#

i also held cds on pull of rik for adds

#

...that never came

#

🙂

#

still topped meters using cds 15 secs into the pull

idk why blades as a 90s reset now

#

yea ofc eleem but that s so weird

hazy breach
#

Because it was 2 minutes

#

They havent purposefully made it reset after it was 90s

#

They just didnt change it

paper iron
#

does that mean they whitelist reseting spells 1 by 1 when coding them?

lilac stag
#

welcome to wow

sub rupture is not bad

fierce cedar
lilac stag
#

12 Iirc

#

Basically if cds are up you send them. If tank is gathering you rupture

hazy breach
#

Practically you just apply a rupture if youre not in dance and the target isnt dying immediately after you apply it

lilac stag
#

Outside of CDs use it as CDR

is MDT route sim or dslice reliable for sub rogue?

I would recommend dslice though, gives pretty much the same results as MDT routes except it takes way less time

wild hornet

mfw no more logs

sharp lake
#

Oh quick q, does a finisher with two supercharged combo points in the bank do the same amount of damage as a finisher with one supercharged combo point in the bank?

#

I always thought that more supercharged available = more combo points spent but I’m realizing that might be wrong

hazy breach
#

Yes, its not +6 when you have 2 charges

#

Its +3 on 2 finishers

sharp lake
#

okay thank you that makes things much easier

#

also is there a way to know if I can squeeze two dances inbetween cooldowns or not? I think I’m losing a lot of throughput by holding too many shadow dances.

autumn condor
#

I've not played Rik since the evasion amp change, but if you are using CDs for barrel damage are you better sending them before the first amp and accepting the GCD loss, or sending after the first amp and accepting sectech/CB coming up a little after the first barrel spawn and then it being further delayed for the last add set of P1?

#

Or just send on pull now and FF it

Hello posted this on assassination page too but also had the question here. Anyone use magnet trinket?

Do you just send it with HoC during flag/shadowblades?

twilit phoenix
#

so you'll use HoC with you flag, and then magnet 20 seconds later

#

use it on CD, but hold it if you have your flag window coming up

#

so you don't put HoC on the shared CD

rapid torrent

oh yeah forgot about the 30s cd, thank you

6 week i think i killed bandit and never hoc droped its not funny ?

get to killing normal and lfr

or just farm the pvp badge

You have options

complain about trinket drops. Reactions with a lulz skullz

Complaining about it is a way to make it drop sometimes, though

we’ve never seen a mythic bow drop

Less than 2 hours of open world farming and you can have a very solid on use trinket.

Not sure if the sub rogue / WoW dopamine addiction will be able to overpower my frustration with the game anymore

It’s getting close

lilac stag

Fun is just dwindling. Really don’t like where they’re going with addons

#

when you have core gameplay issues (specs) not getting addressed

#

to each their own of course

lucid jackal
#

The only issue with sub rn is its undertuned idk

#

I think all 3 rogue specs are fun rn

keen dome
#

I think Sub could use some QoL stuff but it's so subjective that it's probably my personal feelings. Def agreed on undertuned.

I watched the Asmond take on that interview and I think he’s on point with his comments

just become the raid leader. then you are always viable

shadowstrike says hello there

round latch
#

Sub is a fundamentally broken spec by tapping into extreme dmg with shadowdance.It needs someone that can make it and keep it as simple as possible so ppl can play it.Ive never tried the spec into highend myth progress etc but as far as pvp goes ive had ppl quitting rogue because the spec is just too complicated/extreme.

sharp lake
#

my hot take is that sub is fine and great they just need to remove symbols of death

round latch
#

ok thats crazy even for me

lucid jackal
#

The spec literally has nothing going on without symbols atm

round latch
#

symbols basicly enables the entire spec

lucid jackal
#

Sub is very simple rn, it's just undertuned idk

round latch
#

yeah it doesnt have the edge compared to sin

#

i rly love sub and ild be more than happy to play it again

lilac stag
#

This person just want dance strike 85% of the time

lucid jackal
#

I mean it was better all last tier and it was better for prog until buffs

Every time a spec is undertuned people jump to "we need a huge patch"

if we compare it to mage. Our burst isn’t high enough. Our lows are too low. Delete deathstalkermark

I don’t want crazy dmg outside of CDs but ain’t no way it should be tank dps

rogue is in a weird spot where i think all the specs have cool gameplay for us sickos but most players try to pick up a rogue and hate how like energy works

i'd start by deleting danse macabre from existence, casting backstab in dance feels dirty

It's not a fun button its an optimization button. It has very little cool factor when pressing it. When you're a sicko it gets interesting because you need to line up supercharger with secret technique. But that's it, it's only interesting because of a talent at the end of the rogue tree. You could tack on most of its benefits onto shadow dance and it would change very little. The only exception is supercharger.

#

Sure it's cool when you're already waist deep in optimizing your throughput but if you're just here to play the video game? It's a chore.

First season playing wow, and I chose sub rogue.
I'm wondering, is the bug fix going to make a significant diference or be something I barely notice in terms of damage?

alpine wraith
#

you wont notice it

heady shell
#

Its been fun, my damage is not fully optimized but I think I know the rotation fairly well

wide kernel
#

It's actually really hard to tell if it has a meaningful impact because of variance from pull to pull. But also we dont know what triggered the bug, just that it COULD happen.

#

I saw like 11mil when I was doing ST rotation on 8 mobs though and there were dead bodies. So

#

You should see first pull difference too because of shadow strike NF.

heady shell
#

hmmmm alright

#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

you either loot it from completing delves or you buy a Wave Scrambler 2000 from the delve vendor for Undercoins, then use the Scrambler to summon the Underpin inside of a delve.

I'm so interested to see how scuffed the one-button for sub is

molten citrus

it doesn't press Blades yet either though kekdog

edgy zenith
molten citrus
#

most of the rotations seem to do about 50% of optimal DPS for various specs

but there are some specs where its only -20% or so

edgy zenith

I just hope the Outlaw one is like 75% of the way there so I can one-button my way through weeklies

that would be sooooo nice

i really doubt its going to be something you want to use even in +10s

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.

i think i need to add pre combat

okay, moment ill re-do the pin

#

One button Rotation.

The Rotation helper has roughly be translated to an apl, the damage output is roughly half of regular play.

Simulations:
⚔️ Single Target
🧌 Dungeon Slice

Note: I did just quickly fix the parsing issues, so this is only a very early estimate, i might made mistakes.
If you want to play around with it, I attached the apl i used for the simulation to this message.

short radish
#

pog 1% gain already in apl

vale pine
#

i might put it in wrong

#

or sth

#

ill update if i find a mistake i made

#

but it overall still does not look extremely good

#

even if you can get it down to 50% or so

#

it would still be very bad

pastel rampart
#

thats good

#

it should be awful

vale pine
#

haha

#

i mean it does get some concepts right

#

i assume some iteration can get it to be a bit lower, like 30-40% worse

haughty rose
#

is eye of kezan better than seaforium on every boss in LoU or are there some where seaforium is better?

shy ermine
#

in practical terms it probably depends on if you get your 4th set of cds

#

before the fight ends

alpine wraith
#

eye can also be better if you just highroll

same as old signet

#

for parsing it is kinda a hit or miss just get 10 stacks in 3 mins

vale pine

#

@vale pine so if the one button rotation is roughly half of regular play

#

that means it'll actually be a dps increase for a big chunk of players

#

smile

vale pine
#

it might get iterated on

#

maybe its only 30% worse

#

which would still mean regular play is better but would allow more people to participate in raiding

tribal blade
#

that's crazy

#

parsing is actually about to become the wild west haha

#

or i guess just the variance will be much lower

Can you imagine if they make it so good its 1% less dps only

lol nah there's no way

unless the ai is so good it takes into account upcoming mechanics and stuff

I’m curious what they’re doing for healers

blizz is introducing a rotation helper

void ocean
#

i kinda see it being mentioned but i tho its that hekili they r introducing

keen dome
tribal blade
#

and 1 part of it is literally a 1 button rotation

#

you just press 1 button

#

you have an increased +0.2 secs of gcd as penalty

void ocean
#

so the button funcionallity chnages?

tribal blade
#

and it literally plays the game for you

lilac stag
#

You can footpedal the game any pretend you’re a drummer

keen dome
#

It doesn't use major cooldowns or interrupts

lilac stag
#

most players don’t

tribal blade
#

ah ok no major cds

lilac stag
#

So it’s still playing the game for them

tribal blade
#

but everything else in between though

keen dome
#

It's core buttons

void ocean
#

major cd

keen dome
#

So no defensives, etc. Like. Saying it's playing the game for you is just a mischaracterisation of what it is.

lilac stag
#

outlaw with no CDs just spinning mouse wheel

keen dome
#

lmao

void ocean
#

so basically u press one button and the button functionallity changes?

tribal blade
#

i think it's absolute madness

keen dome
#

It's fine for what it is. It's not for everyone and it's not for us. It's whatever.

void ocean
#

like its mutilate now and it will turn into envenom?

keen dome
#

It's a good accessibility feature but it's gonna vary between specs so much haha

keen dome
tribal blade
#

maybe their time would be better spent on simplifying the game

void ocean
#

srsly

tribal blade
#

and making specs more intuitive to play

void ocean
#

dafuq r they wasting time on

tribal blade
#

it just doesn't feel like such a great use of resources

#

who tf wants to play like that

#

and dafuq r u gonna learn playing like that

keen dome
#

I dunno. But i doubt it's pulling resources away from anything else.

crystal bone
#

he got so mad

#

in his react video

void ocean
#

every spec rotation can be learned in like 10 mins on dummy, the most important part is to get it mentaly automated to do it when it matters, e.g. under heavy boss mechanics n shit

tribal blade
#

haha yeah i watched it, i think he's right

void ocean
#

u wont learn that with pressing one button

tribal blade
#

his point is very valid

crystal bone
#

yup

keen dome
#

I don't think anything Asmon says is valid

tribal blade
#

i feel like this just goes against the entire philosophy of playing the game

lilac stag
#

their philosophy is make money

crystal bone
#

1 button assist with x amount of revisions and i could see wow on mobile

lilac stag
#

Get more streamers if they don’t have to focus

I’d rather blizzard simplify things and/or have better visual cues for things, like I don’t pay enough attention but does shadow blades even make our weapons “shadow”?

lilac stag
#

And make it to Xbox port

dawn summit
#

i mean, people are still unfathomably bad at simpler versions of wow

#

there is no amount of simplifying that will make Timmy Ret stop huffing glue and eating leaded paint chips

keen dome
#

Flagellation makes our weapons glow for.. some reason.

graceful osprey
dawn summit
#

and at the end of the day, timmy keeps the lights on, so they have to throw him a bone with shit that nobody else cares about like one button macros

tribal blade
#

the other side of the coin for me is i did watch this really wholesome video of a dad playing wow with his kids

#

and he helps bring them along to dungeons and stuff

#

and they're quite young, so he set up hekili for his daughter so she can be less frazzled

#

so i can see it being very beneficial for those kinds of situtations

graceful osprey
#

I agree with that.

tribal blade
#

there's also people with disabilities who play the game

keen dome
#

I think it's a good accessibility tool / system for people who just wanna do casual content.

tribal blade
#

maybe i kinda see the point now

#

still a bit funny

keen dome
#

It's never going to see use in high-end. And anybody who wants to get better won't use it. So it's very whatever. I also think an argument on resources is absolutely nonsense. Man, they sure are pumping out a load of cosmetics lately. Resources from those should be better used on class balance. Like, what? that's not how it works haha

graceful osprey
#

It’s an interesting approach I would say instead of simplifying things a little more

keen dome
#

If anything this might make the designers look at some class rotations and go "what the fuck"

tribal blade
#

they might actually work on sub

keen dome
#

I imagine a lot of it will be a template thing. Like how I bet it uses shuriken toss if it's out of range (like the Assa one using posioned knife. In theory, but it doesn't right now)

graceful osprey
#

I have no idea how they would rework sub but I would always be a sub enjoyer. Ever since spamming ambush in shadow dance during og wrath.

i miss og dance

my hope is they make sub revolve around dance again

or more so around dance

#

use crippling, you might have time to hang back and clean up while the tank runs ahead to pull allowing you to not get into combat with the next pack

tribal blade
#

it makes grouping packs take much longer sometimes

#

if they start spread

#

a lot of sin rogues would purposefully not use crippling even while having DTB

Ye id only really use crippling if we need the slow

#

It can screw up gathering otherwise

white briar

well if the tank is not letting you restealth, sounds like his problem 😄

the 1 place i swap to crippling is motherlode

#

for the azerite boss it's very good

and for the mines before last boss

the shiv cleave also slowing them additionally is pretty big
