floodgate has a lot of checks

#

you have dps check on big momma

#

then heal check on swampface

void ocean
#

id usually be late to hide

keen dome
#

I have seen things

lilac stag
#

this season is 8 dawn breakers for vault and log out

tribal blade
void ocean
#

I heard fun stories about KS on swamp boss

keen dome
#

My favourite of which was a 12 FG where the tank commited murder on the healer on wampface

tribal blade
#

it's just living the dmg

#

the dmg going out on that fight is wild

keen dome
#

Yeah I can imagine

#

How's the final guy on high keys?

#

He's such a nothing fight on lower

tribal blade
#

not too bad tbh

#

so long as you're not an idiot

keen dome
#

The biggest thing I see on lower keys is people blowing up pools with the frontal

vestal escarp
#

As long as you dont get puddles trolled

tribal blade
#

one of the biggest issues tends to be people stealing puddles to greed uptime

keen dome
#

haha

tribal blade
#

because everyone in high keys wants to never have downtime

#

because muh overall

shadow lance
#

Flood is tough but got a cool design imo

tribal blade
#

seen tanks get screwed out of their puddle a few times lol

keen dome
#

Haha

#

Priory is the one I'm scared of revisiting

tribal blade
#

speaking of not wanting to have downtime, i lost 2 20 MLs yesterday to people greeding uptime on last boss

runic trail
tribal blade
#

and exploding the rockets in the group

#

1 was a warr who leaped last second and killed me

shadow lance
tribal blade
#

i hate that boss, it blows

#

horribly designed

keen dome
#

yeah

shadow lance
#

I hate when overlap are cringe

keen dome
#

ML was the key I had the absolute hardest time with on the 12 / 13 range

#

Extremely easy at 10. 12 / 13? CURSED.

shadow lance
#

True, with ToP

keen dome
#

Whereas Pirory was so fucking chill at 12 / 13 and a nightmare on weekly

shadow lance
#

Easier to do in 15/16 than 12

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

haha priory is hell on earth

#

that key is out of control

keen dome
#

haha

shadow lance
#

I kinda like PSF

#

I hate DFC

#

Unpopular opinion

tribal blade
#

at least dfc is really easy to time

#

priory is REALLY hard

keen dome
#

I really like DFC except and this is a big one

tribal blade
#

once you go up in key level

keen dome
#

People doing the third boss trash skip on a 10

#

Or even a 12.

#

Please, why, why are you doing this skip. oh look you jumped off the wall and into the trash YOU VILLAIN.

tribal blade
#

hahaaaa

#

yeah there's no need to skip that on a 10

#

just W the key

#

easy time

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Legit lost more time to trying to skip than just killing the trash

tribal blade
#

lost a 20 dfc last week to a warr walking into that trash pack

#

and killing half the group

slate marlin
#

Of those 11 runs half are by the russian god so

hazy breach
#

If you have some giga padder gamers its possible you could have your flags for the amp phases and sub would do big dmg too

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Now with the +5s

#

Unfortunately its only 12 seconds of amp, so might not be insane

tribal blade
#

oh did they increase her amp phase?

hazy breach
#

No

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

She takes 5 more seconds to put up her shield

keen dome
#

hell yeah

tribal blade
#

ahhh ok

shadow lance
tribal blade
#

so you can ramp more as sub

hazy breach
#

Well its not quite 90s inbetween them

#

Its more like 75-80

tribal blade
#

mmm i see

#

btw what spec are you playing at the start of next season eleem

hazy breach
#

Im always playing sub

tribal blade
#

for keys

#

tight

hazy breach
#

Until i feel like im griefing

tribal blade
#

i was thinking possibly just running bleed with iron wire and dummy proofing everything for my guildies

hazy breach
#

Ye that sounds solid

shadow lance
#

idiotproof strat

tribal blade
#

oh wait you can't run iron wire once you get new tier

#

you lose x2 shiv

#

unless it's fine to only run 1 shiv with DS tier

shadow lance
#

Not a big deal I think

#

I don't have tier in mind

alpine wraith
#

just do big crits

tribal blade
#

i imagined it would cut the DS tier set power in half

alpine wraith
#

if things dont die always blame someone else

tribal blade
shadow lance
#

I don't think as bleeds, it's gonna be an issue to have 1 shiv

#

Cuz you'll just press on cd

#

I might be wrong

hazy breach
#

Ye but you have downtime inbetween packs n stuff so it adds up

shadow lance
#

Still a dps loss, ofc

#

But not that big

hazy breach
#

Ye not huge

tribal blade
#

oh ok i thought it would be a big loss

#

good to know

shadow lance
#

I mean, if you do weeklies as bleeds, you nearly don't have time to press a second shiv

#

Mobs die too fast

lilac stag
#

^ this

#

Even the 11-12 when first pushing 3k the second one was sketch

#

now good luck

shadow lance
#

Someone know if the the unparry bug is still up on ptr?

#

Yes, stuff upgrade + 2 sec longer shiv + 2p damages amp

hazy breach
#

Raidwide parry has been fixed on the ptr afaik

shadow lance
#

Damn

#

My RL won't be happy

swift tinsel
#

Glad to see their priorities in order garf_sit

#

But hey, sub buff relative to other melee kekdog

alpine wraith
#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

I’m just not gonna tell anyone lol

lilac stag
#

no one really knows about it

swift tinsel
#

They only look at their parse numbers

lilac stag
#

unless you were making a specific point and I doubt anyone actually cared

swift tinsel
#

I brought it up in s1 and havent said shit about it since

alpine wraith
#

i always told people

lilac stag
#

Warrior not killing themself with a charge > parryless on prog

alpine wraith
#

now is joever

void ocean
#

when did we start sayin "joever" šŸ˜„

lilac stag
#

dark Brandon times

shadow lance
#

But I was kinda surpised when my RL told : I would pref you stay as sub for the parry thing. I was like, how do you know?

lilac stag
#

you need new evokers if they’re that low on the meters.

shadow lance
#

Not saying compete with them

lilac stag
shadow lance
#

They're taking the top 3 and I only show 6 first people

#

Harder to be visible cause of these lizards

#

And the fury warriors just playing to pads on adds

alpine wraith
#

top 6 is quite good

#

im like top 10 after less than 1 min

lilac stag
#

What do you think Sub plays for?

shadow lance
#

Do damages?

lilac stag
#

literally add pad

shadow lance
#

Yeah, was not playing sub on gally

#

Cuz, no need "add damages"

#

But on richard, people were happy

lilac stag
vestal escarp
#

Comes the patch sin gets the 8% + all aimed buffs

#

Sub has to get tierset a week later and really fish for 4p to pick up

lilac stag
#

I’m still expecting a tier buff in some shape for assa if the percent is that low

hazy breach
#

Theyve designed it in a way where buffing it is kinda hard. The most feasible solution is to just overbuff the 2p

lilac stag
#

at least it’s not 2+2 for assa… right?

hazy breach
#

But making shiv/symbols longer is just kinda ass

#

And ig it could consume 2 marks, but thats just awkward

lilac stag
#

Yeah idk. Dmg or agility modifier added

hazy breach
#

Ye they need to add an extra tuning knob

vestal escarp
#

Time is over boys

hazy breach
#

Or just say fuckit and make the 2p worth 3x the 4p kek

lilac stag
#

Then we back to 2+2

shadow lance
vestal escarp
#

Undermine 2p is not that great

lilac stag
#

Assa 4p ain’t that great

#

idk just slap a 5% nature dmg to 4pc

#

And tune that

alpine wraith
#

i smell another snapper snappy

#

DOUBLE IT

#

man beta was so silly

#

DOUBLE TRIPLE DOUBLE

#

DOUBLE AGAIN

hazy breach
#

It is what it is, hopefully they dont tinker much more with it so it stays dead for sub Surebud

alpine wraith
#

at this point

tribal blade
#

they really did a great job with rogue hero trees when we pray 1 tree stays dead

alpine wraith
#

just pls fix bugs

tribal blade
#

nope sorry can only fix beneficial bugs

alpine wraith
#

and we know you'll buff assa so just dont buff it twice to make sub useless

#

i dont mind them fixing all bugs even if they are beneficial

lilac stag
#

I’m curious how many actual updates we get before raid.

tribal blade
#

oh yeah i wouldn't care at all about them fixing the parry bug if that was accompanied by like 4-5 other bad bugs

lilac stag
#

other classes seem to think 2-3

keen dome
#

Day before patch goes live: big pass, imo

alpine wraith
#

at least tfd and rotten are fixed

#

now all the coup and nimble and shadowed

#

any DAY NOW

keen dome
#

And the tier set

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

oh that would be so fun

if they version us again

graceful osprey
# thorn shoal and sub was always my fav

I think any rogue spec if played well can perform fairly well so really, pick what you like. As for next season, I’m not sure what it looks like yet. I haven’t paid attention too much. A lot of us doom and gloom, but it’s usually for kicks and giggles copium surely.

wild hornet

i think itll be the exact same thing next season as it was this season

We can sandbag ourselves tyvm

warm marlin

there’s a sub organization sandbagging sub

lilac stag
#

sub will be top 4 dps in heroic and get nerfed week 2.

#

to give assa tier a buff

silver onyx
#

im getting mixed emotions

#

so are we broken or shit

lilac stag
#

Both

silver onyx
#

"yes." type answer

lilac stag
#

also don’t be emotional

wild hornet
#

brokenly shit

#

id rather use the OBR than play assa

lilac stag
#

There’s a lot of broken shit. Yes.
Will sub be broken dps? No. Not as of tuning today.
Will sub be fine in raid? Likely yes, but so will everyone else but Feral.

wild hornet
#

why isnt feral fine in raid

lucid jackal
wild hornet
#

arent they a walmart assa

lucid jackal
#

Sub looks good

wild hornet
#

sub is an underdog meta dps

lilac stag

Sub looks good

#

Sin might be better on some fights, if there is a mugzee situation again, but who knows

sullen hare

Tuning still in wild Wild West mode and specs have tier that just doesn’t work (enhance for example).

You don’t want to be boomie at this stage anyway

#

How easy is sub

carmine portal
#

Not a mountain of buttons but CD useage/tracking is important. One too many Shadow Dances/Symbols of Deaths outside of your main 2 big CDs can really cuck you

hazy breach
#

Sub is not as hard as people make it out to be, but it plays quite differently than most other specs.

carmine portal
#

Hard is not how you should describe Sub, Unforgiving is.

hazy breach
#

Most specs press cds when its ready, sub generally sits with cooldowns ready for quite a while for the more opportune moment, which catches a lot of people offguard when trying it

#

But yes, if you screw up youll lose a lot of damage

carmine portal
#

Patience is good too, some classes can send CDs every pack and still have them up for the boss (Frost DK, Ret pally for example), and even then, if you have to wait for 10s at the boss start it's not the end of the world

vale pine
#

subtlety is punishing, thats most of the problem

#

also has a lot of unintuitive things

carmine portal
#

Cold blood CD is one that comes to mind

#

45s CD my ASS

hazy breach
#

Backstab in dance, cold blood, solo symbols without dances sometimes, sitting at 7 cp backstabbing a bit before flag, not using blades at the same time as dance+symbols

#

Weve got a ton of em

lilac stag
#

carmine portal
#

crystal bone
#

how much of a gain is the backstab spamming before cds?

graceful osprey
# pine mirage How easy is sub

You learn how the ā€œblow things up, nuke the targetā€ pop CDs rotation and that’s essentially it. Mimic it again every 1.5 minutes and you’re golden. Big dopamine every 1.5 minutes

hazy breach
#

"spamming" is pushing it, its moreso not using a spender

#

So you have some sht stacks going into flag

crystal bone
#

ok so basically auto attacking

#

but using backstab to not overcap energy?

hazy breach
#

Yes

carmine portal
#

Well yeah but you want to be using backstab to still be doing SOME damage

lilac stag
#

Jesus take the wheel for sht stacks

crystal bone
#

what is "some" damage in this situation

lilac stag
#

no dmg

carmine portal
#

More than not pressing it

spice matrix
#

about how many seconds before flag do we want to stop using spenders for sht?

#

im probably doing sub for raid and then im not sure about keys

#

@vale pine can you check wraps cloak vs regular cloaks when you run sims too

#

apparently wraps isn't too hot

#

for some classes

#

unless you have to use it on some bosses ofc

hazy breach
#

Well theres no other cloaks no?

clever delta
#

i was already told its healer prio

#

the boost šŸ˜„

hazy breach
#

And also the wraps has stats on it, the proc is just extra

sly shore
#

crafted?

hazy breach
#

I mean sure but its 10 ilvls lower, so its not gonna be better

#

Since the wraps has regular amount of stats

#

But ye the proc sucks, so the boots kinda sucks too

#

But they have good stats for us anyway

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Ye, basically gems that give it any stats iirc.

#

filiments or something

lilac stag
#

i think they tried to eliminate it not being total shit for somem specs

keen dome
#

I imagine the proc'll get a buff or something at some point, too

sly shore
#

is it at all times it has the same amount of stats or after renown

#

because there may be times where it is worse

iron spear
#

honest question is sub annoying in mop, because we have to maintain s&d + multiple dots?

lilac stag
#

this aint classic

#

this is retail

#

dots and snd is whatever

keen dome
#

I'm trying to recall which bosses you need it on, too. I know it's quite a few.

iron spear
#

ah, yeah wrong channel, my bad

lilac stag
#

all good

sly shore
#

first and nexus-king for sure

keen dome
#

Final too

keen dome
#

If it doesn't go tup in iLevel fast enough, as I think it goes up from renown rewards, it might have moments where a gilded craft could beat it?

hazy breach
keen dome
#

But I bet they buff the proc

hazy breach
#

The renown doesnt mention it at all

lilac stag
#

you level the cloak

keen dome
#

Oh, I thought the iLevel increaes were from renown.

hazy breach
#

Idk it might be

keen dome
#

Reaching rank 6 with the new Manaforge Vandals raid renown will further increase those secondary stats by an unspecified amount.

lilac stag
keen dome
#

There's something in Renown I guess

sly shore
#

yeah person misunderstood it

lilac stag
#

the ilvl is weekly. the renown upgrades are seperate

keen dome
#

Aha

lilac stag
#

the boots also increast the PPM but that shit is hasted

# hazy breach Is what i found, maybe this article is outdated <https://www.wowhead.com/guide/r...
lilac stag
#

outlaw tier

keen dome
#

Your one is more recent, Eleem, so I tihnk that's more likely

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Sounds from that document that the cloak upgrades are more like the belt/circlet upgrades

lilac stag
#

maybe make a !cloak for that link lol

keen dome
#

That'd be useful

#

It's timegated, so I guess there is a hypothetical point where a crafted could beat it for that specific week, depending on proc value for the class in question?

#

Seems like a lot of effort though.

hazy breach
#

Well you literally cant do like half the raid bosses without the cloak anyway

keen dome
#

Ye

hazy breach
#

So youre gonna be griefing by crafting a cloak either way

lilac stag
#

its legit 701 week 1

#

707 week of raid

keen dome
#

I'm just following the thought from above 'cos I thought it was interesting. I don't think it'd be remotely worth it at any point 'cos the gilded would be better put elsewhere.

lilac stag
#

no fing way youre using a craft on a cloak

#

that's more cooked than 85% of the shit in here lol

keen dome
#

I bet there's gonna be someone, somewhere, who crafts a gilded cloak this season

#

I'll bet you 5 whole gold, Scath

lilac stag
#

i'll be you somone complains about no cloaks in vault

#

5 whole gold

#

Hell yeah

šŸ¤

keen dome
#

šŸ¤

lilac stag
#

besides cloak has buff for best wow content, delves

keen dome
#

Also it's just a really nice looking cloak

hazy breach
#

Either way wowhead is 1000% going to clickbait another article about how the cloak works so we'll maybe pin that

keen dome
#

Probably multiple.

what are the most common macros for sub

hazy breach
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

Bro really has been typing in a while...

alpine wraith
#

getting it READY

lusty epoch
#

i see all people using flag -> rupture -> CDs -> backstab -> sectec

if we pool shadow tec and coup before flag, shouldn't it be better with flag -> rupture -> CDs -> backstab -> coup -> sectec

So that sectec benefit from more flawless form stacks. And since we get 3 finishers in a row with all the shadow tec stacks pooled, the second sectec will be up before SB runs out anyways

hazy breach
#

A. The second sectech gets ready quite perfectly with your cdr with a coup, if you dont have a coup youll have to delay sectech by one finisher
B. If you use coup before the first sectech your flawless stacks from the coup will fall of before the second sectech, which is the one that does more damage with more flag stacks+cb

#

And getting your sectechs of as soon as possible is really important to be able to get as much of the unseen blades and flawless stacks from disorienting strikes during cds too

#

Also if you go sectech > coup your second clone that hits after 1.3 seconds will benefit from the flawless stacks anyway

lusty epoch
#

Oh yeah makes sense thanks!

glacial wind
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
solemn lance
#

do we geneally always pop sec tech on first finisher during dance then evisc/cou

#

nvm, just saw this post, ignore my question

lusty epoch
#

If flag is up then yes.

If it's dance without flag then i think you should use coup before sectec

And if coup is not rdy it would be sectec into evis

Might be wrong but i think i read that in a guide sometime

hazy breach

It doesnt really matter outside of flag, either is fine

#

During your shadow blades you dont want to use your second dance at the same time as symbols

#

Because you want sectech to be supercharged, and when your first dance runs out you havent gotten enough cdr to be able to use sectech in your next two finishers

#

(and you would waste some symbols uptime since you'd have 3.5-4 seconds left of it, and pandemic on symbols is only 3 seconds)

#

And ye you could also just do a finisher outside of dance to delay it and be able to macro it, but then youre sitting in flag+blades+trinket without dance, which is not good

errant ferry
#

I see

wispy jasper
#

Is it too early for the tier impact sims for each spec?

grizzled acorn
#

What's the cast order dance flag and blades? And how much time should pass between each press?

swift tinsel
#

!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 off 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.

Thank you

hey guys can i macro blades+flag+dance+symbols together

short radish
tribal blade
#

everyone's been lying to me

short radish
#

yeah

#

im here to release the truth

#

be free

#

on ptr with first dance i find i sometimes during cds i farm back my 2nd sectec inside my first dance, but there's like 1s left on dance

#

is it worth holding the sectec for the 2nd dance or just ripping it on cd

#

i think i read somewhere if u sectec later than like 1.3 secs on ur dance ur clones dont get the damage amp stuff from dance macabre, etc.

warm marlin
#

rip it and make sure you do the second dance insta so the clones don't hit outside dance

#

you can highroll into having the entire spell hit during the first dance but its also fine to have the clones hit in 2nd one

long sun
#

alright W ty

warm marlin
#

u do the lose the damage from danse but get your unseen blade hits out faster, get your flawless form stacks up, etc.

long sun
warm marlin
#

it should be more common on ptr, ive done it a couple times on live

long sun
#

i think i assumed to hold on live since it happens much less often

#

but on ptr CDR is thru the roof

warm marlin
#

nah even live send the sectec

long sun
#

W rizz

plush roost
#

If youre really gaming you can send symbols at like 12 seconds sec tec cdr and get it in the first dance window pretty consistently on live

#

at least, in my experience

#

not sure if its mathematically better to lose 2 seconds on sod to get a juiced sec tec

warm marlin
#

getting the second clone in seems a bit difficult

plush roost
#

but i think its probabyl worth it

warm marlin
#

im not entirely sure there isn't a bit of grace period though

#

or my was arent entirely precise

plush roost
#

also requires shaman but what are we playing sub without shaman tho

chrome palm
#

i usually eat like ~1s pandemic on sod for earlier sec tech but idk if its good

#

well not usually but commonly

warm marlin
#

ive watched some back where my dance ends like 0.1s-0.2s before the second clone and it still does same or more damage as the first

chrome palm
#

ive had clones in 2nd dance do 10mil before

plush roost
#

yeah i wonder if its like server tick related

warm marlin
#

it could be slight weakaura lag

#

i know my cursor gcd thing is a bit laggy

plush roost
#

maybe, i use devlins WA and it is pretty on time

warm marlin
#

the first clone hits with my dance timer saying 0.1s hmmge

#

@leaden prairie liar wa?

fallow nimbus
#

When you use sectec as first finisher the clones from 2nd one in 2nd dance will never be outside dance unless you stop doing stuff mid dance

lily buff surely

#

Best they can do is 15% buff for BP

#

We should be so lucky

north schooner
#

more like buff BP by 21% and unintentionally revert rotten's bugfix

bright sundial

ironically introducing that bug would make the BP-Evis balance less cringe

I wish our tier wasnt bugged

#

playing with a bugged tierset a whole tier wasnt fun

Okay so I haven't played mountains this season, what exactly is bugged about flurry and our tierset, is there a TL:DR?

dont worry if we can have a whole tier with set bugged

we can have 2

this coup bug one is kinda silly one too

well im going to go fuck myself haha

atleast brewmaster is looking fun and good YESSIR

alpine wraith

it works on the first

#

does not help coup is also bugged with shadowed finishers so

#

oh and finality

short radish
fleet wharf
alpine wraith
#

possibly but i may have missed it

#

well the shadowed one is more important

#

finality is not that big but still annoying

as the third hit is the most damaging and it never works with it

hm there's a macro for it somewhere

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.

carmine portal
#

ā¤ļø ty

cloud rover
#

like building and spending

#

just the resource is different

glacial wind
#

What is this macro for? I’m new to sub rogue so wondering :) is it to backstab for macabre

short radish
#

demon hunters arent like that

short radish
#

boomkin

cloud rover
#

Almost

fleet wharf
glacial wind
short radish
#

warriors also

cloud rover
#

Ofcourse there are exceptions

short radish
#

i mean shaman also has "combo points" i guess

glacial wind
short radish
#

but holy power feels most combopointish

carmine portal
#

You'll want to use ONE backstab for the extra 6% but then it's back to Shadowstrikes

fleet wharf
#

Only the first builder should be a backstab. doing it properly gives like a 0.5% damage increase over not doing it. you may decide if that's worth the hassle or not

cloud rover
#

Runes

carmine portal
#

Not necessary but any dmg gain will help in high level content.

short radish
#

yeah feral has combo points

#

warlock destro/affi are also similar

cloud rover
#

Essence

fleet wharf
#

shadow priests are rogues too TIL

short radish
#

argueably monk but it really doesnt play the same

#

even though it feels like it

cloud rover
#

My Point is

carmine portal
#

You can't spam the same builder as WW tho

glacial wind
cloud rover
#

almsot every class is kind of Build resource A and spend Resource A with Spender B

#

or for AOE Spender C

short radish
#

almost every class except for half of them

fleet wharf
carmine portal
glacial wind
#

I use full key binds and no macros cuz I come from pvp so used to pressing infinite buttons :)

fleet wharf
#

Just remember that it's only the premeditation charge you want to spend on the backstab, and the later you press backstab, the less worthwhile it is.

carmine portal
#

Literally watching MOP pvp atm and the volume of keybinds hurts my head haha

#

that's why I liked BG's more, could never get good at arena

glacial wind
#

Ah yeah I do retail arenas

carmine portal
#

only time I really did arenas was in legion, double spriest hpal dotting every1 to death

#

MOP i played a fuck load of feral bcus I got addicted to watching soda

There is never really a time id use CB without sectec right? Like I can have two keybinds - one that is sectec without CB and one that is a macro of sectec with CB? I don’t need a solo keybind fit sectec in that case do I?

smoky tide
alpine wraith
#

you do use sec tech without cb on cds

#

it is more dps to use it on the second sec tech

#

so you use 2 keybinds anyway

smoky tide
#

I was using 2 binds for the second secret tech, CB + Secret Tech, can I just switch this to the macro

errant ferry
#

Well the second sectec is pressing two buttons if they are not macros together. I know it’s minimal but like id rather press one button. So im just making sure there is no problem with it.

alpine wraith
#

yea i use standalone sec tech and sectech+cb

#

other people prefer to have cb standalone

steel zinc
#

every good sub rogue does that

#

you can use sectech cb macro for example also when sectech isnt up but boss dies in like 5 sec

#

then just send the cd on w/e

smoky tide
fallow nimbus
#

Sectec+cb

errant ferry
#

Okay I thought so, just was slightly confused by the guide saying not to macro them. What it really means is you need a stand alone sectec and a sectec+cb macro. Two individual binds.

errant ferry
#

Yeah cool I like it

steel zinc
#

sub is more like playing omega fast in cds and just chill outside cds

#

you are litterly doing less then a tank outside of cds in st

errant ferry
#

Sub = High intensity interval DPS haha

steel zinc
#

its not even close

carmine portal
#

haha

vale pine
#

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

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".

smoky tide
# steel zinc think of it like 2 abilites

I was stressing out because I was using the first secret tech, and when the second one arrived I needed to click CB and Secret Tech, and now I'm just going to switch to the macro on the second one

subs damage looks like the graph a pump and dumb crypto scam šŸ˜„

sometimes theres trash with low health. u do pull 15-20mobs but 5-6 of them are low hp mobs. i send cd stech as first stech cuz half of the pull dies before u setup ur second stech

actually looking forward to sub running tea in keys

1 less thing to think about

as you get more crit cb does lose power kinda in m+ yea

wheat elk
#

do we got a plater expert here? got a question D:

fallow nimbus
#

Cb just needs to be like the rotten but for finishers kekw

#

My biggest fear is that blizz decides that haste should be better for sub and we get some shit like outlaw with the gcd

steel zinc
#

rn you have like ~20% crit and the belt sometimes gives you up to 35%

tribal blade
#

but it's a combo of the new tier not buffing sectec

#

and then mast from tea starts becoming more beneficial over CB

didnt sub get nerfed from the initials numbers on ptr in s2

#

that hasnt happened yet

hazy breach
#

Well the s2 tierset had literally 100% uptime on ptr ye

leaden prairie
#

right

hazy breach
#

At more stacks and with more power than it ended up having on live

leaden prairie
#

sooo

lilac stag
#

we still don’t do anything outside of CDs. Will the tier be enough extra CDR? dracthyr_shrug

leaden prairie
#

idk is that even true

hazy breach
#

Outside of dance ye,

lilac stag
#

I’ll worry about it after tuning actually hits

leaden prairie
#

i was watching casual do normal damage outside of cds

#

it wasnt like

#

abmysall low

hazy breach
#

Moreso for ST

leaden prairie
#

oh well

hazy breach
#

But aoe outside of dance is kinda stinky still

lilac stag
#

it just feels better comparatively because of tea

#

so I’m assuming that’s the hype

hazy breach
#

Casual wasnt playing tea

lilac stag
#

the s2 build? I haven’t watched anything this past week

alpine wraith
#

the thing about s2 is they didnt think we could just stall the tier set

leaden prairie
#

i would be surprised is sub isnt the m+ spec in current standings

#

or assa

lilac stag
#

enjoying other spec discords melting down

alpine wraith
#

and have like a 110% dmg amp in dance

leaden prairie
#

if you play a comp that want prio

alpine wraith
#

so they just deleted the tier set

leaden prairie
#

but you kinda need shaman for sub so

#

alwyas that issue right

hazy breach
#

You dont really

leaden prairie
#

well its 8%

#

kinda int

hazy breach
#

Its not 8%

alpine wraith
#

it is more for super st

leaden prairie
#

ok nvm then

hazy breach
#

Its 4.5% on ST and like 3% on aoe

alpine wraith
#

in slice it is kinda sameish with shout

leaden prairie
#

is fuu thing fucked then

#

its not waht it syas on the sheet

hazy breach
#

Well its playing fucked talents

leaden prairie
#

ok

lilac stag
#

aoe isn’t as important. Just feels worse to play without one in low targets

spiral sierra
#

how little haste is too little :D?

alpine wraith
#

0% haste is fine

#

but i dont know if it is possible this tier

lilac stag
spiral sierra
#

perfect im almost at 2%

alpine wraith
#

havent looked at tier set stats

spiral sierra
#

yeah head has the only haste on my gear

#

xD

hazy breach
#

And new tier gives more cdr through more coups

alpine wraith
#

dont worry skyfury is big for deathstalker HUNT THEM DOWN

#

brrrrrrrrr

median nacelle
#

i always inv skyf... ehm... shaman to the grp

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker also hates crit

median nacelle
#

too addicted to having the buff

alpine wraith
#

what DN does to a mf

#

too much nut

median nacelle
#

if ur a undergeared shaman idc, ur coming along

hazy breach
#

But ye obviously youll do more damage with a shaman than without, but youll likely do even more with a warrior instead

median nacelle
#

warrior too, love em

#

maybe a dh

leaden prairie
#

i tought shaman was way bigger

#

maybe the sims should start with lust as a baseline tbf

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

that could be or at least drums

#

but warrior is funny as a buff just snap it

#

i guess mage is the same for casters

median nacelle
#

ya

leaden prairie
hazy breach
#

Monk and druid worth more usually

median nacelle
#

fair

leaden prairie
#

i was checking, dk gain more from having its bis comp than any rogue spec anyway

alpine wraith
#

that vers big value

leaden prairie
#

(warrior, dh, shaman, druid)

median nacelle
#

i like guardian druids anyway

alpine wraith
#

dont worry i trust as always we will have some good rogue players

#

even when we do like 10% less dmg

#

and have less surv

#

and no group buff

hazy breach
#

Surely warrior will be the meta tank

alpine wraith
#

and smell of poison

tribal blade
#

this is the main issue with phys comps atm, there's only 1 spot for non buff specs

alpine wraith
#

it is not a spot really

#

because you can fit someone with a buff

tribal blade
#

so we're fighting with all the other specs for that spot

north schooner
#

prot warrior seems like a 4th dps garf_sit

hazy breach
#

I mean ye if youre playing the pure phys comp, but you can play like prot warrior+enhance+dk+resto druid or something

#

And still have it be really solid

tribal blade
leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

yea that is the cool thing about wow

leaden prairie
#

like 5% for dk is kinda huge

#

no one seems to care tho

alpine wraith
#

not everything needs to be min maxed

#

just skill diff their asses

#

like the people that play RMP even after 18 years

tribal blade
#

this current season has been really heavy on buff stacking

alpine wraith

through thick and thin

so that helped a lot

i think you aren't gonna run into any serious difficulty until ~17s
