We did not see single hoc jastor or kezan first 4 weeks to drop
i used transmitter on mythic gally
we still havent seen jastor or kezan
Bro
I give up on transmitter after first night of bandit, I said I can't and switched to assa
i used badge for a while it was more dps than playing trnasmitter not perfectly
my guild got at least 1 hoc on every bandit kill on every difficulty on the first 4 weeks
I was mentally drained by that trinket
ye i crashed out a few times over transmitter aswell
sprocket was also an experience with it
I played pvp trinket on sprock
they just need to make competetive trinkets
from m+
and more raid trinkets that are usefull
that big red button trinket for strength users on 2 mind cd when all strength users are 1:30
is fucking criminal
whoever desiged that gave 0 thoughts
and we end up with 16/20 ppl wanting house of cards 
Yeah
a 1:30 trinket also shouldnt beat a 2min trinket on the same itemlvl (for a 2min classs)
like priory vs hosue of cards
atleast imo
can we do the macro last dance thing with shadowmeld ?
not that i know
So we recrafting for sub for raid next reset?
Yikers
wtf buff balance immediately
Balance is struggling, never played
I am!
the trick is to have never switched

If you don't stay with Sub in its worst, you don't deserve to stay with Sub in its mid
Guess who is back boys
big crit
Cant wait for the 12 million Eviscerate crits

Hey guys I'll be here this weekend
My name is ryu
Ryukage
I'm going to take a break from dying to killingspree.
I was on dummies last night before bed and it felt pretty good on rotation just need to get used to it
no thanks
I tried going Outlaw for a week, felt good on target dummies and I liked the fast pace of it. Then I did my first dungeon and died to Killing Spree. I went back to Sub
It seems hard at first but its not bad, you just gotta be quick
I'm not, I'm dumb.
At least you're pretty
you just have to get into the flow of outlaw
I like the idea of having cds all the time with outlaw but actually playing it and not having big burst moments like with sectec feels bad
That was the other thing for me
Once you get to where you should be, your dps does not decrease or increase ever, unless there is down time where you cant attack
Yeah the outlaw in my guild pumps over time and usually creeps up by the end of a fight but being top during the opener is big dopamine lol
Thought he is still muted

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Ask whispyr
do some visions to pass the time
imagine if that tfd bug worked on bosses
or was it like that intended
so we have use for vanish
that would be hilarious
thats why you do early prog pulls as sub to feel good about yourself, then move to outlaw or sin near the kill
image if tfd was just out of combat
We dont want strict uses for vanish for dps 
dust enjyoers disagree
They bit the dust
how sparing am i supposed to be with Shadow Dance?
i basically press it on CD, but I keep encountering pockets where I don't have any Shadow Dance or Symbols charges available, so I'm just Backstabbing and praying for combo points
i tried it once i think i got it to work once
!guide
its not a use on cd button
sub is very reliant on damage windows, and the activators for those arent when dance is up. its a mixture of your larger cds (flag/blades) timings + sod / sectech as activators. dance is the button you press when all other conditions are met.
the gudes do a great job explainin this with pictures
ahhh sure, sure. thanks!!
i'll take a look!
its like this
if you are 40~ seconds from flag being up dont press dance in raid
if you are 23-30 seconds from flag being up in keys dont press it until you are super comfortable with the spec
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
im not a fan of specific numbers, becaue theyre meaningless ont heir own and just confuse someone whos newer to the spec. I much prefer concepts and ideas. why ~40 second during raid? because the goal is to use 2 dance charges during flag. This is a general acceptable concept. but ~40 second is a specific number reliant on cp income. what if you dont get to hit boss for 20 seconds? then it should be ~60 seconds, what if there are ads? then its ~20 seconds. u get my point
i didnt want to type out the 5 paragraphs associated for a new person
fair enough. I just think concepts are generally more useful, but I could be straight up wrong, idk tbh. regardless appreciate all of you guys helping out each other. its what makes RH so based ❤️ :3
Bro felt he had to let out that yapp
i do be enjoynig ocasional yap
i mean armin isnt wrong
yeah, this is afaik one of fuus bigger gripes with the spec. its not very intuitive. There is a lot of burden of knowledge on the players to pick it up just to be able to perform at a bare minimum level. but then theres not a lot of mastery to be gained after that (this is more so for all specs in wow not just sub but yea)
problem is is that its also like 1.6 or 1.7 dances sometimes and its 2 flat other times
I used to find myself short on shit when I first started all the time
bro his gripe should be that we are 30% behind the best spec in raid on some kills and almost twice that in keys
Or instances where no dance, but 2 charges of symbols
Or SecTec is up but no symbols
tuning is w/e. sometimes youre tuned like amirdrasil sometimes youre tuned like azshara it is what it is
sextec 
I will say though, it never feels good to perform very well and just be at the very bottom because of tuning. kinda kills peoples enjoyment of the game specially during farm
we will not be surpassing assassination but that’s okay
kinda one of the reasons i quit. in 11.1 I got my parses done early, then during farm, u couldnt try to go for 100s anymore because oh well, theres a new buff every week, parsing kinda dead, oh well i cant even blast in raid because spec sucks, oh well, im not even excited about gear because my entire gear caps out at daggers + trinket.
in blizzard other abandoned project, starcraft2 they basically had no balance developers and they eventually let the community do it
getting title as sin i guess was my next option? but that shits boring so i quit
it would not hurt if the more educated people of this channel came up with proposed changes
they did
they definitely have
well if thats the case, where is it and why isn't it pinned
what do you think of shadowcraft right now?
the intern needs to see it
proposed changes were not really implemented
because that talent is what it is because of us
and it was one of the only times they ever listened to our suggestions and changed the spell
i understand that portion yes that sometimes we are listened to
they’re not monitoring this place like that I’m sure
my point is if we suck coming up with less complicated proposed changes have a bigger chance of being implemented and thus us balanced
than not if dev time is limited
the changes to deathstalker, you can read my post on the forum during beta, and track the changes to dethstalker as a hero talent vs the first iteration. it was litearlly line by line what I asked in the forum (which was a compilation of suggestions by TC and other members here)
realz is locked in blizz hq basement (free him)
so we gave up wating time
yeah giving up the issue tbh
if i gave up i'd just go play havoc rn because it isn't 50% behind
AR kinda stinky
being competitive isnt tho
in what regard? farm? can’t say I care too much beyond not being in the basement
keys? sure but we have a very viable spec
i am not particularly qualified
but i would say that there is a issue with how our talents work in so much that you can't balance m+ and raid properly
combined with the complexity of the class which probably keeps it away from the higher tiers and balancing
for example we're like almost a flat million behind other specs in raid compared to like dev? and marksman for some fights. In keys we're 50% behind outlaw on brew and somewhere between 30-50% behind in other keys
I dont play the game anymore but I dont think its that bad from screenshots Ive seen
so its actually a two fold issue
it is though
on cinderbrew the highest sub parse is around 4.1 and outlaw is seen doing over six million
the wcl logs participation or w/e it is is also misleading sub is not great in raid
m+ logs have always been kinda xD dont take it seriously
What that doesn’t show tho is burst peaks, which sub absolutely dumpsters outlaw on
they are actually consistent
i looked at stuff that was s1 df last night and stuff that wasn't and 30% is a pretty frequent number so far
yeah but there's no niche for that in keys and none in raid really
Huh
There is typically a place where burst is valuable
Which you saw sub excel in earlier in the season
OAB, Rik, etc
But then bc of tuning got outpaced
there is, sub is too garbo for it to matter
mythic+ was never rly tuned around
do you remember DF season4 ?
tuning is mostly done for raiding
well it cant just not be considering how big of a part of the content of endgame it is
this is wh bigger diffrences exist when you push keys
other specs also get tuned for m+ like uhdk, arcane etc
for what its worth, you can play everything if you are doing 14 or 16s
assuming your gear is good
Didn’t really play s4
sorry i dont mean to come across as so doomer
well it was what youre saying (kinda). The entire meta (and i mean litearlly the only thing playable was Spriest + mage or destro + aug
lol there’s typically at least some dooming going on here
any other comp was like 3-4 keys behind
anyways
but the emta was burst (kinda)
they played around spriest 2 min cds.
people would litearlly run around and afk
the other problem we have kinda is that we as a physical user in a world of castercraft comp typically
Oh yeah the Exodia season
then pull like 45% mob count for priests 2 minutes. then litearlly afk again
but the concept was you were pulling the dungeon in like 4 pulls
all around priest 2 min cds
because the cds were impactful
Yeah I vaguely remember watching streams with that gameplay loop
but if you remember that meta, the difference was that sub could do okay burst, but then its damage would drop to 0
whereas priest would do the same damage as subs peak burst, sustained for like 3 minutes)
And got almost weekly Link tuning
the thing is, u can have burst, but if burst is too high, it breaks the game because u end up with boomie meta in shadowlands
But never reined in
they dont want burst to be so high that it litearlly breaks the games mechanics
Oh yeah, that’s what they were worried about this past ptr cycle
but if your entire damge is burst. and then sustained drops to 0, youre not really functional in m+
Bc the tier set led to some substantial burst
damage is just a tuning thing and a curve.
they want u to do idk 1 bil damage over 5 minutes lets say
they can make u do 500 mil damage over 30 seconds. then 0 for 2 minutes, then another 500 mill over 30 seconds
o rhtye can make u do litearlly flat damage constant the entire time
it depends how u want the curve to look like
This is one of the more polarizing issues with sub. Personally I like the trade off of bigger burst and lower sustain, others want a flatter profile
they did that to us too apparently
yeah but go look at what armin said
hes not wrong
sub players as a whole want the spec t be bursty
that was the whole dilemma in df rework
thats probably part of why we aren't tuned that greatest, because if we burst like we need to it breaks the game
Yeah it’s just a matter of what concession to make in terms of burst
in s1 and s2 of df, sub was flatter than my ex
and people didnt like that
so the reworked put substantially more power in cds
removed resources (energy / cp) outside of cds
and gave you this
but then blizzard came and said okay mr realz i see what youve done, but we cant have a spec be this bursty.
and then the tuning problems began
I want dance to be bursty
was it something they actually said that they were concerned some classes would do too much burst?
It was evident by the tuning decisions
not sure if directly said but def implied
and also yeah, pretty obvious based on decisions made
Bc they want to avoid like armin said SL boomie
well that explains why sub bad a bit
And dust let us move stuff around to take advantage of our burst
But that added ‘complexity’ that didn’t sit well with some people
what is it that was actually broken in SL that boomie did
like are we talking that it just deleted adds or something that made dealing with a raid boss phase not a thing or?
They would do far and away the most damage in the game, then literally afk
There’s plenty of vids where you can see the damage disparity
ok will check that out
Similar to uhdk’s recent performance the last couple xpacs
Boomie was a combo of it was wildly powerful and felt extremely shitty to play
Unholy packed their damage into garg windows but got their burst nerfed and baseline buffed
In mid df I think?
and then like there's this patch where uhdk was doing half of its damage in blood beast
The rng of that makes it a bit less egregious because they’re still quite strong without it
it broke the game dude..
like during the raid
u would get like 3 boomies
then they would burst
Yeah it’s something that shouldn’t ever exist again
and litearl phases of bosses would be skipped
i was talking like uhdk specifically
hi to him anyways, hope hes doing well
like if we did 30-35 mil openers in keys and then zero thats actually fine
thats not fine though
a damage profile that extreme is very difficult to work with in m+
Realz tweak dance CDR. It’s too tight. 
youre too tight
yeah we would be within the top 5 specs for sure, cant have that

thats not the issue
sub has been great many many times

theyre not sitting there tiwrling their evil mustache that spec must suck
even if it feels like it sometimes
although, wouldnt be surprised if they dont want sub to be the optimal rogue spec
i havent looked at all the logs, but so far i havent seen that we have been good since we were as stealthi put it 'flatline abominations'
we were the best spec in the game in df season 3 post rework
as if it sint any more obvious
what was the issue in df s3
It’s funny though, when sub was looking to be strong going into this tier people would pop in and talk about how much fun they had playing trickster sub
well if it was great why did they make it no so great
collateral greatness
okay so in season 3 2 things happened
the nerfs came thats why
no thats not what happened
- the spec had a giga tierset
like our tier set was so much better than everyone else
I miss her
sub nerfed brother
not only in terms of raw damage, but also in terms of resources
the tier, felt great to use, was really fun, enabled some (maybe borderline degen ) gambling scenarios
was super great
- the bosses design.
1cp ruptures 
in season 3 , sub had this thing called shadowdust (some hate some love it)
no realz removed that in beta after my giga degen rant
back to bosses
Yeah I remember that
last 3 bosses were basically perfect for sub
sub could move its cooldowns around to perfectly match all damage amp phases / important boss timers
so it ws just giga good
but this is raid
in m+ sub was the least played spec in the game
last 2 were very good for sin too
pretty sure the only people in title range plauying sub were kush eleem myself and prophet
realz is the intern they keep locked in the basement?

u were playing outlaw coper
Nah mlg caliber rogue realz
meaning it was that bad?
it was very hard to make work
dust was very unintuitive because it basially had a spreadsheet
Didn't zeross get title as sub?
no
like stealthi litearlly made a spreadsheet for dust in raid
raid might be your set piece but it is not your main bread and butter for play time
Dust in keys took a fair bit of experience and not many folks wanted to put in the work
and people lost their minds because waaawaaa too complicated too op
but in keys, u cant make a spreadsheet so u really needed to understand wtf was going on to make it work
also since df s3 blackpowder got buffed by almost 70%
was not the play in keys typcally
holy hell put me in a time machine and send me back and sign me up
being overly complicated and powerful sounds nice
yo man,when was sub nerfed in DF
It def wasn’t recommended for most folks but it was potent if you could make it work
was it on last season
dust is shit and deserved to be deleted.
Assa got overbuffed into season 4
it was 2 nerfs though right
so it just made sub look worse
sub s4 was a disaster
nah it was just an evis nerf
To clarify, it’s never really been powerful
Just powerful by rogue standards after they took assa out back and beat it with the nerf bat 80 times
not really. because theres fewer people playing it, people who have to play it but dont want the complexity hate it (we have litearl green name people here who had to play sub but couldnt because it was so weird at tht time, and hated it)
but also, regarding m+, this is a litearl comment from myself at that time
in 2023.... and guess what. I was right
bp has been buffed by 70-80% since then
the 6% aura in s4 was just rewind of the two rounds at the start of amirdrassil, 15% kb and 4% aura
yeah i understand i was saying just personally that ounds nice
it sounds like an awful design phase
sure but not healthy for a game like wow
other games can accomidate that. but not wow
@pliant topaz which one do you wanna do?
It was fun, but also a nightmare
Hisssss
I miss her

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Why
Why make me relive this
I think I have that saved on my pc somewhere lol
yes
Had the MRT notes
I might too lol
i added mrt notes to the sheet
okay but lowkey dust on tindral felt sooooo fun
had to make em by hand
the double vanish opener
Yeah like weeks after I killed Fyrakk
I was manually entering that shit for prog
I learned this tier you can export lorrgs timings to MRT
the flag blades vanish intermission into blades vanish flag intermission

was so cool that every part of the fight you were doing something different
tindral was just so silly
fight had a 40s forced downtime that somehow synced with the spec downtime
Dust bad 
but also i remember s4 going back to tindral and over gearing the fuck out of it, and nothing timing up annd me being miserable LOL
As someone who pulled rwf nerfed tindral, Man fuck tindral
as sub it was fun
Y’all are coping
wheres he when u need him
unload opener do chikcen chill and fly
That boss was literally mechanic diarrhea
so what im seeing so far is there's always been pretty large design issues for at least awhile
You know the only reason dust was hated
yeah since forever
Was because sub’s CD spreads made no fucking sense
They literally just needed to adjust flag and it would’ve been fine lmao
fuu and I said this alot.
sc2 was in a shithole of the worst designed metagame for like over 2 years because it was also a red headed step child of blizzard
That’s the only reason it became an issue
we said dust was fine, it was solving problems with the spec that otherwise would fuck the spec over really hard
but flag being weird timer, vanish not reseting its own cd, shit not lining up was the main issue
regarding the issues with subs design @dusk stone realz himself said this
so i dont blame him
Dust in keys was actually SO sick btw
there are many people in here who all want differnt things
You could literally destroy an entire problematic pack single handedly
there are right and wrong answers
Eh
you don't use the wrong ones
not really
You felt like you could swing a bad pull into your group’s favor
there are no wrong answers
well yes we actually heard one of those earlier
Because dust also reset kick 
like burst being so strong it breaks the game
just because u like something and prefer it, doesnt mean others dont get to disagree and want different things
yeah there's still people that miss aberrus design i dont blame em but it's understandable
again its all contextual. in wows context yes such high burst breaks the game. but in other games? well...
That was so sick
for keys mostly
as an example, rengar can kill you in litearlly 0.04 seconds right now. but that doenst break game. its context dependant
like i get the point
I personally blame them.
but i feel like we could definetely make it work cause we all center around sub not being awful to the point we use spreadsheets
that is a wrong answer for sure
as was just shown
if there ever was
sure, if you have resources to spend on it you can make it work
I skipped that tier, was that the super high dance uptime season
idk how blizzard works, idk how much time is allocated to design for specs
I'm not qualified tbh otherwise i would
idk how much they even care about it
too new
also Venthyr ramp boomy burst was not an issue on normal fights
like its single target burst was high
but not game breaking
thats why i mentioned sc2 specifically, they had an intern that was basically an absent father
I’m not qualified either but that will not stop me from ripping my horrendous opinions god bless
the issue it had was it had a 40 yard fcking AOE burst
sod uptime tier, dance was played single charge, but the whole economy of the spec was different
Idk sylv felt pretty fucking garbage without one
u typed before reading the rest
Ohhh that’s right, ty
Because when I was progging that fight with a boomkin that wanted to play fae

I’ve actually been terrorized so much when I was a cutting edge raider
No wonder I hated my life
Fae on sylv. My brewmaster spinning off platforms on sylv. Being forced to prog anduin as a rogue. Indiscriminate carnage on dathea

Our prot paladin couldn’t hold toll for 2s bro
or pull a stealthi (i think) and just sit on bos
i had a folder with so many screenshots where all 3 of our venthyr boomkins died at the exact same time all together

At least I went out on a happy ending
Back to back hall of fame

oxi u still playing POE?
oh is game deadge?
eksdeee
I’ve been playing wow actually
oofff
Hit 3k on Tuesday
ey lets go!
Which means I’m done for the season lmao
doing muck runs in the netherlands
Maybe get aotc for funsies
wym netherlands?
bro is in land of toast and beans
if you put beans on toast you are a savage
he got voluntold he's going to the netherlands this week
@sly shore ?
Are you a savage
IT AINT CHEWSDAY INNIT
ANSWER
nah he actualy makes good food
Armin the office closes at 3 but I’m gonna go home and work lmao
just a reminder that this was during a time classic and pvp andies also gave feedback like
"make bakcstab the heaviest hitter of the spec"
I mean who am I to say they dont get a say
i mean we can do that
they pay as much as you and I do, and can share their opinion
you change the name of flagellation to 'back stab'
and realz can take that input and do with it what he thinks is best
50% auto attack damage 
thanks for the history less on sub
Armin did you lift today?
absolutely
my point was, people felt a lot more vocal about subtlety
diffrent parts of the community
where for e.g. assassiantion it was mostly one group of experts
so the feedback did feel a lot more chaotic compared
Well, based on how things stand rn, sin has to be the "easy" spec
and it’s still very complicated for most players
Sub's cooldown Management is complicated for a long time before you "get it" and outlaw is generally hard to pull off/punishing on top of being high apm
wows player base is old and no one wants uber complicated shit. They want to sit down and just play the game. Why classic still works.
I did the days I wfh I go around 6:30 am!
Jesus, on an empty stomach?
yeah usually
except sundays. Sundays I do deadlifts and so i have some protein shake before that and go later around 8:30 - 9 m
tbh ambush was one of the iconic damage sources, so it makes sense
also cooldons doing the most damage feels like a very powerful idea/concept
so i don't see a big issue in both of these ideas
guys im sorru bout noob question but how sub in m+ rn?
sub is playable, its not the best but you can make it work even in higher keys
there is iirc a russian guy who brings it to very high key levels
its not easy to make work tho, so if you are new to the spec expect some troubles
well not everything can be very strong. you have a maximum power budget you can give the spec, so u need to decide where u want the power to come from.
cooldown management is your most important thing to optimize
lashga quit
The double ring gloomblade shit was just bad
thank you
it's alex
And that was what certain people in this discord who had an ear of the devs wanted
its playable in a lot of keys but its 30-50% behind other rogue specs atm
i think its currently distributed well, the only thing that is not working is aoe, but as you see with assassiantion thats nothing that blizz couldn't fix by making aoe stronger independently of cooldowns too
And it resulted in the spec ping ponging back and forth design wise
looking like a poor version of assa
woah thats a hude diff
my concerns are more about the layers of abilities we have and how some don't even seem logical after reading the tooltip
Which is something they failed to do with sub. Also black powder sucks
not sure I follow the econd part of this. the cant fix by making aoe stronger independently of cooldowns
look at assassiantion
Yes you can
it has ct scale per target hit
They could easily do the same scaling for sub aoe
so assasisantion is allowed to do massive sustained damage
while not sacraficing for it
yes and no. sin doesnt really have aoe cooldowns. DM does nothing in aoe. KB is "fine" in aoe mostly due to intearction with caustic.
assa ramps with dots, what are we going to ramp out of cds?
sub cds give flat mastery + infinite resources
I mean realistically neither does blades
The extra cp doesn’t do shit for sub in aoe
DM doubles amp poison, which makes envenom bigger, so its not nothing
But its not an amazing aoe cd no
sure but its not as much as blades which is like 30% ish
and blades is bad
Blades is very bad
you could also make secret do more aoe
Which is why they cut its CD and it’s still mediocre lmao
disable BP in dance. Buff BP
it's 20%
Blades is fine. Assa had some intentionality with how theyre playing in aoe
which would make burst higher but also make overall aoe stronger
to a degree our aoe is the problem
I think they need to nix BP entirely and give sectech aoe scaling
Sub hasnt had anybody try to make sub aoe work
still not casting many 
im aware. it was even worse when it didnt work with sectech.
Its just been left to rot
or just give us combo back and let cleave do its thing
if you want to go aoe route, we need to see like 30-35mil in openers for keys
if the damage is 0 outside of that
🤭
God I’d sacrifice someone’s first born child for combo back
Sub doesn’t need monster aoe
Sub needs a niche that fits
Combo and cleave would be tits
The BP bandaid is a failure
Combo and cleave would rule. Proper identity and very strong prio
You either buff it so its oppressively good and people bitch that it’s a two button spec in AoE or it just sucks
i mean sub aoe was good in s1/2 DF
what im saying specifically
is that i need to see 30-35 mil in a pull like p1 cinderbrew to make the damage outside of it worth it
its just that as eleem mentioned, assassination got a lot of dev time for talent updates and focus to make it good in m+ and raiding
this hasn't happened to an equal amount on sub
yeah thats a problem too
not happening with blizz, burst is le bad evil
so obviousely we can't assume similar outcome
we are currently in an area where we're twice as bad in keys as we are in raid
that needs to be fixed
that said, sub plays 100 times better
I think making sectech scale with target count up to 8 targets and heavily leaning into sectech as sub’s aoe fits the finisher niche. Versus something infinitely spammable that just sucks in either damage or gameplay loop
(opinion, ofc very biased)
no on. we need another 20% bp buff so we bp in single target. im down
bp spam was popualr because it was easy
you did have a very high skill floor
so even if you did not know sub much
BP at 4cp at 2 targets 
storm + bp and using your cds did give you good results
BP is particularly our ability for keys is it not and evis leans more into raid
I want them to do this because I think it would be very funny, and I am curious how long it'd remain like that.
theyd fix it very fast.
is this pressing backstab after sdance for a danse macabre stack?
how is it pressing backstab same global as dance
Dance isnt on global
do u need a macro to do this
No
or can u just not be perfect
i think i have too much ms to do this consistently lmao

i think im trippin
whats your ms ? <100 i think itll be fine
usually around 90
you should be fine
chat leaf user is talking about two different buttons off global that cant be macroed
no we can't we need a simpler solution
prefaced with noob question
sorry for breathing
ill blow my brains out and ur going in the note
!
Well this took a turn
we are here to help yes
i understand it now tbh
i just have to backstab first
i was looking at apl too literally and dancing b4 the stab
? kek it was an inside joke
ty for help
yeah, logic is if you have premeditation, backstab gives you full cps. so u can get full cps + dm stack ez
putting symbols and dance on the same macro is fine for learning
just be able to press it outside of that macro
I love you hippo
Thank u oxi im trying my best for u
i love oxi and hippo
i played sub in a clear the other day and i did ok dmg but i did genuinely 0 on galywix and idk why
so i started reading apl and getting stunlocked
its a big unintuitive yea
Yeah… reading apl will do that to you
but once u get the baseline its not that hard
im rlly bad at overspending dances in cds
I just let Fuu, whispyr and Eleem do the apl thinking
cause im just so hyped 2 press evis
Sod + dance usage is a problem all newbies approach
Reading the APL is generally not recommended instead of guides
Me unga bunga press buttons
Same

sub probably owns now tho after 5%
Also, Heroic gally? Dropping a SecTec as the add spawns is some juicy damage.
do you mean outside of cds
yea like after my sblades drops
and i have a dance and a symbols im literally like
"what if the dopamine didnt stop"
that is how you sub yes
using 2 charges with blades is ideal
also what the fuck is up with maghgar and this spec
a simple rule i use it to not spend dances after 40s remaining on flag in raid, but there is more to it than that
it was 40k dps for me
oofff. yea u need to plan ahead. make sure u get 2 per flag/blades always
the distinction is actally 3 dances per flag and 2 dances per flag
the 3rd one is cdr
for some things we maybe have or had simpler solutions in the past
sin is dreadful in raid
so simple is not always bad
More Sub rogues hell yeah
i say simple because we are working with limited dev time
Dozens of us! Dozens!!
which is why i also say do his work for him
bro is just a shadowcraft hater >:C im kidding
and we might get somewhere
errr shadwotechniques
haha, i did not even mention it in my wowhead article, i can link it to you if you want to read it
stuff like moving talents in the tree is probably a lot of work
as an example
buffing numbers is probably not as complicated
we've chatted about it alot in dms i think haha
am i just doomed to circlet forever btw, jastor mythic doesnt even beat it in my gear
or just pray i get a myth track m+ ring with vers mastery on it
you need ritual bone brand and jastors to beat it
Or craft
like fazed might not be a bad target for tuning
haha ye^^
fazed is litearlly an aura buff. the most boring type of buff
For what it's worth, two crafted rings beat circlet for me
yeah but i'm mostly talking about inbetween major patches
i mean sub single targets fine in terms of gameplay and damage distribution
i would expect them to do more on actual patches given we see redesigns and stuff
its not really fine in raid no
Its is though
only issues i have / had with sub is every talent is either mandaory or dead. there are no options.
just replace the dead talents, maybe add something that actually helps with the specs aoe and its w/e
we are at the bottom of raid, single target is 90% of what you do in raid
taking RS in single target just shows how awful the design is
the gating of talents
the deisgn
w/e
anyways i gotta go sit in a meeting and listen to someone yap for an hour
have fun
that ones actually versatile too
game loop is less bad outside of cds
but maybe too much difference between cds and not to make that work
fuu what would be your preference for bringing sub in at least the top half of competitiveness overall for both game modes meaning m+ and raid
also OMG OMG OMG they fixed my renown!!!!!
Hell yeah
🥹
ily babe
i am no longer 12% behind everyone else for no reason
i missed you pookie.
for mugz and gally mythic fight do u think sub after buffs will be good for those? or stay sin?
Does sectec cleave adds on gally when he’s in the middle? I remember feeling like that was wonky during heroic but it’s been a while
does sectec not just go through the floor
i mentioned making secret aoe stronger, which i feel would be the simplest way to buff it in m+
target the adds
secret is up a lot more so you would do insane damage at the start of most packs
speaking of dropping RS in ST. 5 min sim btw.
and can cleave adds more efficiently in raid passively
doesnt tfd undersim
gameplay wise i think a lot of qol changes would be nice to not have so many weird situations
in dslice yes
tfd only triggers once in the sim
how so? it's ST sim, you cant reset it
not on patchwerk
in raid sims it sims correct
Sin is the best melee dps by far on that fight
Yes
Why are you guys simming this much
5% at the start of the season
people made it sound like it was more
Why not?
because its a 4 minute fight not 5 mins
I’m simming like 2565k
Because ppl are very dramatic
Oh
how much would you have to buff sectec specifically for it to make sub aoe more respectable in the short term
5 min was 2.67 
Get gear. Sim high
2.7 isn't that insane
Though I haven’t gotten everything upgraded yet
thatll do it
!fuu

No time to spam gilded
What do you sim
wonder what I sim as sub now
You’ve gotta be in top 0.1% in terms of gear no?
probs
We got mr mog to 20% the other day
How many pulls did it take you guys from that point?
We struggled with dps check on OAB, so I’m scared we’ll be stuck on that phase
Play assa and the fight is free 
Why Smol HoC?
Any thoughts on dusk thread lining vs ascension vs focusing lenses? They all sim very close on pure ST which makes me think the first two get ahead with any aoe.
none of them matter. Focusing is safest
Duskthread in particular maybe gains value from exhil execution
Ascension rely on crafted weap
i actually wonder if the dagger set is better than the embellishments themselves lol
theres a set bonus for crafted daggers
Duskthread on armor only is the worst offense imo
i mean if i get to do that every 3 minutes i wont complain
please overload my blackpowder plz
Lens is better for st
I know the perfect class for you
by like 0.2%
did they give shaman shadow dance or something?
That’s why I’m thinking duskthread for cleave
Do it then
I’m cloaking when adds spawn 
Considered learning assa just for mug
And halving queue time for 12s
Sudden Demise is kinda metal
Sudden Demise is a lot of fun
I do not even notice this talent. What is fun?
It's an Assa talent. Sadly.
It’s op in the new visions
Yep but cd
lol
That’s true make it count
yea only need 1
Need a clip of this with masks on
I mean why run anything now if you’re not either collecting masks or trying to challenge yourself?
rn you farm mementos or not much else tbh
no one care who you are until you put on the mask(s)
so just do 4 min clears or less
fast
i actually wonder if you can 3 mask pull everything
maybe dwarven
cosmetics tbh
One of the warrior streamers did a 5 mask full class as fury. Boy was it sweaty.
5 mask with current traits is kinda hard
first Rik Reverb in mm done, two daggers dropped, i'm the only rogue in the raid
life is good
Haven't done 5 masks yet cause I need to still unlock multitudes. But 4 and 3 are pretty comfy as. Sub
My friend who's a caster was kinda tilted watching me just run through it all without a care
Yeah you need good potion rng
Or else it’s kinda cooked
You also need soridormi to not be a dumbass
yea i never used her
lol caught up on all the celebratory conversations over the last 24hrs over the 5%. It’s like watching the effects of Stockholm syndrome live.
She does good damage no?
she also doubles the hp of the enemies lmao
plus how many extra mobs you're being forced to kill as the dumbarse doesn't stealth like brann does
she counts as another player
Ya don't use her
for some people, the rest of us normies have retained our doomer instincts
have all keys on 12. 1 13 missing for 3k. guess who doesn't get picked for 1h straight application spamming lmao
Run your own key it’s the only way, I had to also learn the hard way.
Msg them that its a UI bug, your spec is actually sin
or tell them that you are getting +5% (don't tell them it's less) next reset so it will be fine
13s are hard keys
Just ++12
Not because it's difficult but because groups relieve an instant debuff upon entering the key where there is a 90% chance the key fails instantly
just got an inv to cinderbrew. we wipe on first boss an lowest dps left instantly lmao
are we back
we are mid but very back
mid is better than bottom
We are very not different In keys
Buff can be an order of magnitude larger and that only ties us with outlaw
An order of magnitude is 10x
!fuu

You fucked up. He joined expecting a carry.
does the latest raidbots build include the 5%?
not likely
It wont until its live on NA 
Where’s Fuu’s override. 
Theres basically nothing changing anyway, we just do more damage, but if you really want to you can add this in expert mode.
override.spell_data=effect.191060.base_value=15.5```
gotcha
Sub is back!!
i always swap to ass/out to sign up for groups and then pull the ol switcheroo when im in. works pretty well
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is wow analyzer any good for sub?
I dont think so, it rated my opening uses of SD as bad for some unknow reason
Im looking to improve in general my parses, do I just drop logs here and hope someone better gives me pointers?
you can do that or compare your pulls to the top handfull
How do I see the top logs of other sub rogues. Ive not really poked around WCL too much in regards to others logs
its in rakings > Timeline > actions

A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
sub is back bby!
Anyone know of a good place to recruit for an m+ team
pugging and making friends
could you google that link for me please
Yeah but I need different results lol
its the most reliable way
you push keys
and then add people who arent shit
and hopefully they add you
my magic ball says sub buffs is not done yet
called it 24/5/2025 07:00
"After some more internal testing, we have identified that 5% is too much of a buff"
!guide
@vale pine lord fuu sir,EV or TD dont interact with Sub's shadow amps right?
You should see my 13's homie
If it was 14/15 yeah
No
How big is 5% u think !
crazy how math works
I guess enchants embellishments etc don’t count
Would you feel better if I said yes, but it doesn’t show up in details? 
5% is like and extra deeper talent 🙂
could settle,jus' wanted to meme a bit
cheese them mfk@rs in shuffle for the lols
@leaden prairie was chatting with the boys in a key and a former rogue player quoted you saying only bad rogues need restealths
Its true and also real
i hear it is true and real
Yep
I said that
It's true
Real quote
quoted in 4k
Restealth is a sin thing only
yeah he was referencing sin haha
because i'm playing sin atm
Well it does need restealth in certain areas
yeah for sure
the most tilting part is pug tanks who pull a new pack when the last mob has like less than 3% hp
noob question: do we ever have to manually apply slice and dice anymore? just got back and I'm not sure if I need a WA for this or if it became non factor because it activates by just doing rotation
nope only shadow amp that works on items is the one from deathstalker
You can between packs in keys to use cps for cdr. Otherwise not really.
ok thanks! and another noob question. i remember the stealth bar being difficult to set up. besides Backstab and Shadowstrike, do any other "requires stealth" abilities share Keybinds with other non "requires stealth" abilities?
i usually just make sure my stealth and non stealth bars are identical
so what do you put on that bar? i know you always use Shadowstrike instead of Backstab when available, but thats not the case for Cheap Shot and Kidney Shot
i mean whatever you want tbh, the reason i do it the way i do is because i don't like having my buttons switch up conditionally
ahh i see
sometimes i lose track of weather my stealth window has worn off, and if im trying to spam shadowstrike while im unstealthed then i look stupid
do you have a different keybind for Shadowstrike and Backstab?
Unfortunately you still need backstab bound in dance
because I use the same keybind
"need" is an overstatement ig
why so?
i'm here for this
so i need to use different Keybinds for them
We don’t have a crazy amount of binds so just duplicate your non-stealth bar and stealth bar layout. Be sure any macros you may use are also duplicated.
I do this as tank. But I don’t bring the pack to you, so you’ll kill that mob and be able to restealth. Who the fuck is pulling a pack and bringing it to you? If they pull, they should be able to handle until you get there.
The problem is when they do it and you’re still in range of triggering combat. Cinderbrew is misery.
And the rest of the dps ignores the last mob to run after the big fresh shit. 
Cinderbrew Measery indeed
how and when to use the new bug vanish+shuriken macro?
well for starters when u have enough energy for SS 😄
Heyo
ive got a quick question
im starting to get into PVE and my question would be, is it smarter to get my second Heroic weapon or to get one of the bis trinkets ? im currently full Conqquest gear and dont have any PVE trinkets
only PVE item i have is the crafter Heroic weapon from the Undermine quest
and if i get trinkets which would be stronger eye or house of cards ?
so trinket it is
house of cards by a mile if you dont have another 1min30 trinket
probably by a mile even if u do have another 90sec trink 😄
pvp trinket is a good trinket
but the on use one
i had it for the most of the season 😄
Eye of kezan is also only good on fights there are longer than 6min
