plus 10% from scruples talent

steel zinc
#

In notes yes on ptr not

swift tinsel
#

they did a weird hotfix rollout for the fixes

hollow spear
#

It was in ptr notes too, that's why I compared it to our nimble fazed bug

haughty mural
#

ikr but rather spread it with rs than with nado

#

but im a nado hater

#

certified actually

hollow spear
#

That happened on life. They said "it's fixed" but it wasn't

haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

man we really do get a lot of crit from talents

viral phoenix
#

yeah thats interesting to me that we'd pick tornado for m+ but not RS to really spread ruptures fast for the default m+ build

#

is there a comparable talent point to pick that up or just not worth at all

hollow spear
#

Still annoying that it has to be the one where you pray to ion that no adds spawn/get close during your cooldowns

#

What does the sim do with nado and no rs?

#

Cannot imagine that it spreads ruptures

#

That sounds inefficient

lilac stag
#

should be rupture

viral phoenix
#

prayin on no tornados before dance

lilac stag
#

Rupture is still high value

haughty mural
#

i press my rupture with rs cant convince me to 🌪️

lilac stag
#

delete tornado. Fuck that talent. Make it give haste.

haughty mural
#

⚠️ signs angle with haste nado

hollow spear
#

Make it cast storm and bp

#

So I can properly go afk

lilac stag
#

The winds of the storm increase your haste by 20% for 17 seconds (no none of our CDs can have the same length)

swift tinsel
#

1.3min cd

#

sometimes 6.8min

hollow spear
#

During the duration of shuriken tornado you have 20 additional empty combo points

#

Building up the omega sectec

lilac stag
#

who can make the better meme talents for sub? Discord vs Realz

slate marlin
ripe flame
hollow spear
#

I don't think we can beat PV

viral phoenix
#

I feel like playing without rotten means you dont storm once during cooldowns so you can try to spread FW best you can before cds when ur rupturing but then all FW's fall off like 40% through shadow blades duration right? Idk I know nothing but I'm a rotten enjoyer

haughty mural
#

i'm about to cook a new RS and Rupture and dm it to realz directly cooking

#

ez

viral phoenix
#

and in that time when we're spamming empowered BP's we want to guarantee FW right?

haughty mural
#

(i would never)

hazy breach
#

Problem is that shadowstrike with unseen blade double procs do roughly the same as a BP

viral phoenix
#

shadow strike FW spread tech inc

hazy breach
#

So If you give up that for a 300k shuriken storm

#

Just to spread fw

#

Its not great

steel zinc
haughty mural
steel zinc
#

You spread fw strike and bp and strike until coup is up and just continue

haughty mural
#

so barrack

vale pine
hazy breach
#

I mean ye its way easier as you dont need to think about fws

steel zinc
#

And easy of use sometimes trumps any dmg output if you can just execute it well.

#

Yes skill issue but also just more fun

brittle plinth
#

At some point I can't tell the memes from the actual strats

steel zinc
#

And you can time +20 with it

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

But also nado applies fw to all anyway garf

steel zinc
#

since the bugfix its way better imo

steel zinc
#

Rather apply rupture while the pull is gathered

hazy breach
#

Well its gonna apply to most

steel zinc
#

I mean yeah we dont nado in dance anymore but still

hollow spear
#

Nado rupture spread into cooldowns

haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

If you nado as tank gathers, the crit you have on gear + talents gives plenty of FW coverage

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Idk im feelcrafting the nado when coup is ready to be good

swift tinsel
#

what like couping between nado ticks?

viral phoenix
#

but the FW just falls off rellatively quickly. you shuriken tornado spread ruptures, then spend like 4 GCDS not spreading FW as you do your cooldowns and have like 4-5 seconds of FW active on more than just the target your shadow striking right?

swift tinsel
#

hmge

steel zinc
#

Like whole m+ feels like feelcraft since sims are just bad for dungeons imo. Even though in theory it can sim a whole route.

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

I can dig that actually

hollow spear
#

I'm still lost in the sauce with the fw rule. We say 4 targets/3 fw. Does that actually mean we bp at 4 targets even if only one has fw?

hazy breach
#

Idk im just kinda sure the rotten storm in dance is not it

steel zinc
#

I mean thats a skill issue on my side not playing nado really well but also just disruptues the flow in an opener in aoe imo.

hazy breach
#

Maybe rotten is fine anyway, but adding the storm in dance is awful in sims

swift tinsel
#

iirc I was at like 60%+ on crit for storm with s3 gear and talents which I trust to carry the FW

#

don't really need the rotten cushion

hazy breach
steel zinc
#

like in no way

hazy breach
#

What

#

Ofc you can be

#

For storm

swift tinsel
#

you literally get like 25+% from talents alone my guy

steel zinc
#

Yeah if you stack crit

swift tinsel
#

no

#

you get a ton

steel zinc
#

oh you mean by talents

lilac stag
#

Talents!

steel zinc
#

yeah sure

#

ok

#

yes sure

hidden spade
#

in an aoe, do we still Shadowstrike during dance/symbols even without inevitability?

lilac stag
#

they kinda play an important part in the math

steel zinc
#

you just strike finisher strike coup highest prio

swift tinsel
#

and sectech fazes them all too so you get another 10% from that to storm after dance ends

#

and have wazoo FW

hidden spade
steel zinc
#

I still think in big pulls you have to bp if you want the highest number

steel zinc
#

like I had the best results in mass pulls using bp in dance so strike bp strike bp and when coup is up press that

swift tinsel
#

ah yeah mb

steel zinc
#

thats no sim just from lving on ptr

#

And tbh I didnt care about fw

hazy breach
#

In practice i think "if big target = evis" and else BP is gonna be close enough to the best

swift tinsel
#

but still have ~25% on storm just from talents, plus another 30-35% from gear

swift tinsel
#

ye I'm evisc-pilled

hazy breach
#

Not 10% lmao

swift tinsel
#

let nimble do nimble

#

I play with a ret enough where they can pad

steel zinc
#

but if you have some other class that does insane funnel like a mage or w/e you just bp away

hidden spade
steel zinc
#

then sectech and then you can still use premed

#

I just wing it tbh worked well. Looked a bit what casualaddict did

dusk stone
#

why is sub looking way better than last season, considered A tier on tier lists and this season where it looks way better but its like D tier

swift tinsel
#

does storm not consume premed

steel zinc
#

I did for example halls opener or floodgate opener like 40 mill on details as sub. That was obvs just pure pad

dusk stone
#

like did we not get another 5% flat aura buff and the tier set is 30% as well?

hazy breach
#

Yes

swift tinsel
#

we're fuckin huge

#

very big bonks

dusk stone
#

people sleeping on sub hardcore so far this season

swift tinsel
#

happens a lot

#

people forget we exist

#

sometimes our own dev

#

kekw

dusk stone
#

feel juiced man. I get to wreck face

steel zinc
#

on pure st fights rogue is really good just dk and wl are imo better

lilac stag
#

Wait for the assa buff in 2-3 weeks

hollow spear
#

Assa will probably catch a nerf

#

If you ask me

dusk stone
#

there was 11% bp buff as well

dusk stone
#

are we not playing DS?

lilac stag
#

clearly you played Sub in s2

haughty mural
hollow spear
#

Assa is threatening to be #1 funnel

Gotta nerf it

You can just say you didn’t play

#

nah I play rogue not one spec andy

hollow spear
#

If it actually ends up sin for 3-4 fights and sub for 4-5

#

I'm vibing

viral phoenix
#

outlaw 8/8

lilac stag
#

You could buff BP 69% and we’re still not touching DS

hollow spear
dusk stone
#

its not that i want to, its that its an 11% buff and we were already doing BP on like 5 targets and now its 3?

maiden oar
viral phoenix
#

to recap on the rotten talk, main takeaway is that rotten just sims poorly and we really dont need to worry about spreading FW during cds?

maiden oar
#

show this to your loot councils

#

ban them from watching rwf

#

we are so back

viral phoenix
#

ok but like ONE more FW question for the troops would there ever be a consideration for non rotten gamers to shuriken storm once in between dances during shadowblades cds in high aoe situations

bright sundial
#

When is toss going to be our st builder smh

topaz crow
#

is there any changes to rotation in s3 compared to s2 raiding or not rly?

hazy breach
#

As the 4p doesnt allow you to stack for your new coup until the 4p is used up

torn storm
#

is 701 max cloak this week

topaz crow
#

i think so ye

#

u can upgrade it weekly if im not wrong

viral phoenix
topaz crow
#

i think there was a sim with storm and without it was like less than 1% dmg diff

hollow spear
#

I am using flagellation irl for an extra 1% dps

topaz egret
#

If u coup into strike instead of storm you'll almost never have the dopamine power spikes of 2x 2P procs B2B into another coup

hollow spear

or do we play cold blood

#

m+ wise

viral phoenix
#

tea

swift tinsel
#

btw if you bought those valorstone things with vault tokens they work

hollow spear
#

How many did they give?

stoic reef
#

do we want to bind tea to shadowblades?

#

or do we just save it for every sec tech

swift tinsel
#

just the usual 75

swift tinsel
maiden oar
#

if they gear based on what helps kill bosses then uh um uhhhhhh

stoic reef
#

do we loose any dps by macroing it?

young crypt
#

Did anyone test if the valorstone gear vendor gave this seasons champ gear?

swift tinsel

nah as long as you aren't super spamming stuff and eating charges passively

What's the % loss by running CB instead of thistle tea?

hazy breach

Like 1%

#

But most people prefer tea since you dont need to think about it

#

You just macro tea to dance

dire saddle

You're suppose to manually press it no?

k thanks pals

warm marlin
topaz crow
#

question, does sub need PI or no?

lilac stag
#

Haha no

#

Worst pi spec in the game

topaz crow
#

ok thanks again for help broski!

graceful crown
#

isnt it another base "nerf" that PI nor BL affect sub?

#

rogue in general PI and BL sucks

swift tinsel
#

its kind of a buff because our biggest burst isn't contingent upon having lust or pi like others

#

adds flexibility

lethal gale
swift tinsel
#

you can effectively keep up with the highest bursting specs when they have those buffs

#

and can do that every 1.5mins

misty condor
#

Isn't it nice not being dependant on external cooldowns for damage?

swift tinsel
#

sounds like an anti-nerf to me

graceful crown
#

still, we should get something positive of that kind of buffs

misty condor
#

Like what?

graceful crown
swift tinsel
#

I mean it does add some sht value

graceful crown
#

and benefits from bl

#

most specs that benefits from bl doesnt need bl

#

and still deals tons of dmg

#

we only get a little less gcd and energy gen

#

hunters, mages

#

bl is extra dmg

misty condor
#

Then what do you think we should get?

graceful crown
#

idk, didnt think about it

#

a talent that makes % of our haste converted into mastery :o

misty condor
#

Independence from bloodlust and power infusion is one of the things that make subtlety unique, there are plenty of classes that desire more haste but we don't need to be yet another one

graceful crown
#

you think sub is that unique?

#

burst windows each 1.5m?

#

i mean, i love sub

#

but is not that unique

#

haha

swift tinsel
#

you're ignoring why they said its unique

#

not the 1.5min burst window

misty condor
#

You completely ignored my point man

swift tinsel
#

being lust/pi-agnostic

#

yeah

graceful crown
#

Ah

#

Alrighty

warm marlin
#

not benefitting from pi is very nice

#

pi is cringe

graceful crown
#

diabolical

misty condor
#

^^

graceful crown
#

everyone likes extra damage u_u

misty condor
#

I don't want to wait for a power infusion or bloodlust timing, we can just full send no matter what else is going on

graceful crown
#

i didnt mean that

#

well w/e its not like its gonna change anything

misty condor
#

It's already enough of a hassle to hold cds to line them up, I don't want to add abn external cooldown to the mix

graceful crown
#

if a healer is good enough, they timing it for you anyway

#

i mean pi in this case hehe

lilac stag
#

the healer is the one matching timings. You’re not holding for the healer. on god

#

Some of the cope

misty condor
#

And see? There you go, you're relying on someone else to be "good enough". And what if they aren't? You'd just be upset that they mistimed power infusion and you lost damage because of it

graceful crown
#

they know when you use your long cds

#

little derpy because if shadow or disc priests are gonna be meta or one of the most played specs, u never gonna benefit of mini-bls each 2 minutes, only your lovely and already op dks, mages or hunters (4 example) gonna benefit from it

#

but i get your point

lilac stag
#

FDK ain’t relying on PI. It gets even more juiced by it.

graceful crown
#

i was just suggesting that rogue should benefit more from that kind of cds

#

idk how

warm marlin
#

in keys its good to benefit from pi its just a bit annoying in raid

#

mostly for parse stuff

#

goodluck being a dev evoker with no pi and just being down 5% by default

lilac stag
#

parsing in general is a joke dracthyr_shrug

graceful crown
#

i dont think blizz is smart enough to nerf a class because pi

warm marlin
#

tell that to df3 assa

swift tinsel
#

demo locks beg to differ

graceful crown
#

then why dk are like that

misty condor
#

They have explicitly nerfed classes because of that though

graceful crown
#

because dks likes pi

#

not the best target though

#

but u know

#

u cant tell me that these specs are nerfed because they benefit from pi

#

because are the most op now

upbeat sorrel
#

do we take the mastery fiber for the cloak

graceful crown
#

not all ofc hehe

#

meanwhile we benefit from it like tanks

#

but w/e

graceful crown
#

if u have low vers, u get vers

#

depends on your mast-vers

upbeat sorrel
graceful crown
#

you can change it whenever you want if i remember?

#

atleast in rtp you could

swift tinsel
#

yes

#

new worldboss is thiccc

sterile raven
#

Aberus had a group of changes who were specifically aimed towards making Demo and Unholy DK benefit less of Pi and alongside it they made Pi weaker.

#

but to be fair, those specs were like more than double the benefit of others back then

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **you can stop using (non maintenance) finishers ~10 seconds before your 90 sec cooldowns come up.
  • Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use shuriken storm to not proc unseen blade before using your 2nd coup.
  • Explanation: The tier set buff does not allow new applications of the unseen blades stacks, so any unseen blade procs between the 2 coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.

#

Hey guys I haven’t seen the new stuff, do we have changes in the rotation or talents?

alpine wraith
#

both but not much

#

only rotational one is using storm between coups if you have new 4p and are in blades

next bone
#

Even in single target?

#

Gotta read the updated guides

tribal blade
#

tf my gear is completely borked

#

wasn't letting me equip or unequip anything

young mural
#

what build are we using for M+ with old 4 set?

#

is it still thistle + tornado no shadowcraft?

tribal blade
#

because we still have power in sectec with old tier

young mural
#

gotcha

#

do you know about target counts

#

are we BPing on 5 targets with old 4 set + old build?

#

or still 7+

swift tinsel
#

4

alpine wraith
#

yea you can still run rotten until nes set

#

but the PE one is also decent anyway

#

you bp depending on FW

#

5 targets with fw or 3 with blades

young mural
#

ah

#

if i have blades up, 3 targets is already BP O_O

tepid trellis
#

iirc fuu streamlined it to 3 perma

#

lemme see if i can find it

Yeah

It’s in sub tc

oh tyvm

4 targets perma

#

or 3 with fw

tribal blade
#

holy fucking lag

#

i'm doing the daily quest in the phase diving thing

swift tinsel
#

I think I spent the first half hour in the new zone just chain dc-ing

tribal blade
#

oh world boss is pulled

swift tinsel
#

Also good luck with the world boss if you pull it

tribal blade
#

that's why

swift tinsel
#

Took 10.5mins

#

To kill

#

Between lag and mega hp pool

tribal blade
#

haha

young mural
#

I was part of history today

#

I was there on 1st stormrage world boss kill

#

😂

swift tinsel
#

The whole zone just feels really meh imo

young mural
#

died 4 times

tribal blade
#

one way they'll have the technology to fix world boss lag

swift tinsel
#

And I don’t love being tied to the phase platforms to get in and out of phasewalking

keen dome
#

Hell yeah time to WoW

swift tinsel
#

Also the mining thing is weird. You get new ore you trade in for regular ores

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

3:1 bismuth, 1:1 aqirite and 5:1 ironclaw

warm marlin
#

still have to find a platform to enter it but speeds it up considerably since you can insta leave once done and fly out

swift tinsel
#

Yeah the going to and from platforms to hop in and out was really cumbersome

bleak night
#

thats very good to know

swift tinsel
#

Using them at waygates is nice

young mural
#

you dont need an item

bleak night
#

i dont mind the platforms to go in but leaving was annoying

young mural
#

just right click the buff lmao

warm marlin
young mural
#

thats how you insta leave phasewalking

#

not joking btw

#

was working last time i tested, ~2hr ago-ish

swift tinsel
#

It reminds me of a more fragmented recolor of The Maw

#

Esp the no mount part lol

young mural
swift tinsel
#

Idk maybe I need to spend more time exploring but I’m not impressed

bleak night
#

the zone does feel a bit empty

#

but like

#

it would also feel weird if it wasnt empty

swift tinsel
#

Even Zereth Mortis felt more lively

tribal blade
#

whoever designed all these quests needs to be shot

#

half of everything is either broken

swift tinsel
#

Yeah they’re ass

tribal blade
#

or very hard to understand

young mural
#

true

#

weird fucking quests

swift tinsel
#

Pop over, do two things, pop to next spot, do two things

young mural
#

i got a quest at start of campaign saying "help x", and to help x i had to complete another quest??

swift tinsel
#

Do that for an hour

bleak night
#

i havent had issues understanding any of it but yeah the quests are insanely buggy

tribal blade
#

i'm literally just alt tabbing into wowhead to search up half these quests haha

bleak night
#

relogging constantly to fix bugs

tribal blade
#

yeah my gear completely bricked earlier

#

i had to relog to fix it

swift tinsel
#

Trying to refresh curseforge between flights for addon updates

#

I will say compared to other patch launches this one is stable by comparison

#

Not by much

bleak night
#

it was very laggy at the start but they pushed fixes pretty quickly

#

and a52 was down for like half an hour but thats par for the course

swift tinsel
#

Yeah first getting in vs the later part of the evening was notably different for me at least

tribal blade
#

i'm now doing a wq with an abysmmal respawn timer lol

i gave up 3 times on that wq

Ah, so you can still earn conquest and items for S2. No S3 items available yet. sad.

you can get honor to get ready

like i'm trying to do a WQ and there's no indication of what to do

chrome palm
#

The quests are really confusing and everything is just super spread out

alpine wraith
#

just dm me the ones that are omegaweird so i can milk them ahaha

warm marlin
#

I did pretty much everything with dmf buff the entire time and ended renown 7 + 1000 rep

tribal blade
#

can you not do all WQs while phase diving

warm marlin
#

There is also an infinite rep grind bug that I did a couple times for like another 300 (I needed it to complete a weekly because I screwed up elsewhere)

warm marlin
#

some are above and some aren’t

tribal blade
#

i just can't figure out how to do some of these WQs

keen dome

Not leaving the stealth aimation when leaving stealth seems like a funny bug

alpine wraith

yea it is a weird one

keen dome

can't stand up, bad back

I just couldn’t enter the phase diving thing at all

Last time I tried it

Was just perma bugged

hrm i think it's bugged then

young mural
tribal blade
#

because some of these WQs there's nothing to do at the WQ locations

The WQ aren’t in the phase

I think

warm marlin

Which WQ specifically

chrome palm
#

Some aren’t

tribal blade
#

oh ok yeah

keen dome
#

Best thing is more Purrkins

tribal blade

i exited the phase diving and it appeared

#

but why could i do some WQs while phase diving

#

this is so stupid

warm marlin

The phase dive world and the non dive world are separate

Hey! New rogue here. Trying to find my way in sub. Is it still an optimization to pair Cold Blood with the 2nd Secret Technique in the opener in single target? Compared to last tier we don't have 'Winning Streak' stacked up anymore.

alpine wraith
#

yea we still do that

#

it was mainly because of extra flawless

#

and also now sometimes you get to use it on your first extended dance with first dance too

so it has full macabre stacks hits like a freight train

do we still take cold blod in m+?

Even if you do know it's confusingly telegraphed

you do delves until t11 ideally

that way you get the 8 done

#

and next week you can just get the most gilded possible from using map

#

Or it's normal

alpine wraith
#

they give hc vault

clever delta
#

Ok i see it now

alpine wraith
#

if they are at least t8

#

same reason you have to do the 6 dungeons then 2 even without loot

#

to fill the 8 slots

clever delta
#

Yeah but

#

M0 dont give hc vault

#

Like delves

alpine wraith
#

it gives normal vault that can give tier

and tbh the diff between champion and hero

Oooo

is not much

I like tier

anyone else having problems with a dance+backstab macro? yesterday it worked fine. i could press dance and on 2nd press it would use backstab or i pressed another button and it used that instead but now i get some wierd lag that i can't even use like sectec even if i spam it /cast Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1]Backstab

looks like dance is too responsive and instantly queues the backstab

Talents:

  • Setups are similar to last season, we typically don't use Rotten this season, and drop finality on pure single target.
    Single Target Talents(The first Dance is not a mistake):yaml CUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM2mBAAAAAALjZWmGzsMGzYMMMzMzwY2mlZMjtZmZmZmxAWmtBAAAgZwAYMbGGYgZRL0iNYADungeon Talents:yaml CUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM2mBAAAAAgZZMWmGzYMmxYMjHYmZmhxsNLGjttZmBzMGjZWmtBAAAgZwAYMbGGYgZRL0iNYANote: There are certain modification to fit talents to your play style/encounter type, guides can help finding answers for this.
    Hero Talents:
  • Always Trickster, Deathstalker is under tuned.
    11.2 Cloak (Reshii Wraps):
  • Use Mastery - Energizing Fiber(vendor) or Pure Energizing Fiber(crafting).
    Note: The crafted one is quite a bit stronger, so it is recommended to use it.
    Crafting;
  • First craft is a weapon unless you get a mythic level weapon.
  • Second craft is likely ring, bracers, belt or neck.
    Note: 2nd boss drops a Dagger, so you might want to wait to kill it beofre crafting. A good alternative slot for crafting is a ring. It is not recommended to craft tier slots before you can guarantee 4p without the slot.
    Embellishments:
  • 2x Lense
    Stats:
  • Mastery = Versatility >= Crit >>> Haste
    Trinkets:
  • First slot: 90/120 sec on use (Netherprism/Forge/Lily)
  • Second slot: Passive (Antenna/Sigil/Pacemaker)
  • PvP trinket can be used early on.
    Note: Double on use is also possible.
    Tier Set:
  • Preferred Slots: Head, Chest, Hands, Legs
  • 2p/4p are both extremely strong, try to get the 4p asap.
    Note: Having 4 set bonus is priority over best slots.
    Gameplay changes:
  • BP on 4+ targets.
  • !coup

!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".

#

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **you can stop using (non maintenance) finishers ~10 seconds before your 90 sec cooldowns come up.
  • Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use shuriken storm to not proc unseen blade before using your 2nd coup.
  • Explanation: The tier set buff does not allow new applications of the unseen blades stacks, so any unseen blade procs between the 2 coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
