There's a reason rogue is in on every wf kill and it isn't the damage lol
yes that
tbf max did talk about rogue buff being one of the most sittable, but rogue would have to be pretty bad and it has never happened cause balance is reasonable
Btw did they remove this weird stacking from atro?
Yes
Exactly
no it still stacks
Rogue buff isn't core, but rogue is never bad enough to justify sitting it
its also intended to stack pretty sure
So u always play 1
Blizz trying to make the 26 sub rogue raid a reality. They believe in my vision
They did that, called Zul
bro is fighting his own secret technique clones

Rip shuriken combo
I'm totally going to try for the rogue only comedy heroic tour this season
And whatever the funniest tank pair + healer pair is
I guess four monks could be fun
i can’t wait to lose prism to someone who doesn’t even need it next week
wtb loot council
Shami for wft
oh I guess yeah, a shammie healer would make sense
Warrior tank for shout, shammie healer for skyfury

i wish i liked m+ but not having a consistent group kills it for me
m+ feels totally different if you play with a group you like to play or if you pug. One is terrible one is quite fun
i feel the same but i have to admit that having spammable pve content does make you a better pve player, including for raids
Pugging M+ is quite fun, I agree. 
I just love the 20 min breaks in lfg 
optimal trade posting time
100% agree i just always end up stop caring about pushing the second it doesn’t benefit for raid anymore
i’d do it with the right people
Based on current sims, we're in pole position for prism
someone in my guild is still gonna get it before me anyway
Did you steal your loot councils' girlfriends or what
When you roll, just act like you've won. Pure confidence.
I have pure confidence in losing
Hell yeah
I'm excited to experience the wild and wonderful world of random whispers to join my pug groups again
i hate gameplay like this wth..
sub janky omfggg
Which sweet words would you like to hear from me?
Well if you see my group, just mention you are you and I'll invite you
the rare exception to my "don't whisper me" rule haha
Haha
reminds me of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAVnOz7i-JA
One of the scenes that made me crack up mostly because I've been in a similar situation before involving someone named Mi lol
@vale pine on your trinkets sims in ST you simmed with TFD instead of WM it doesnt matter probably but just figured it out.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
thats intentional
tfd is on par or slightly ahead even on single target
up to a fight length of roughly 6 minutes
wm is easier to play and does not fall off on long fights
but is overall a fairly weak talent
in the pins st build is with WM right?
ahh u changed it
i see
last time i check it was WM
i changed it
we had a discussion in the channel earlier
and especially first week, most will go heroic and first mythic bosses
which won't last long
so majority is just better off using tfd
what about depths vs versa and crit enho on ST
we dont use depths on ST anymore?
stonebound and oathsworn sims higher even with s2 gear?
Excuse me. No one is exempt from the joke whisper
Is there a reliable video guide for sub? Trying to learn from wowhead but I seem to be doing something wrong so want to watch a vid if there is one
Shindigg has a good thorough guide
Ok thanks
hey, can someone share ptr raid testing logs spreadsheet
Nope
When we loose the Season 2 Tierset What is the prio of ST in Dance ?
Is it first finisher or 2nd and are we delaying Cold Blood in opener for 2nd dance? kinda different infos on wowhead
im trying to compare my rotation with the sim and i saw a dry symbol for some reason or is this a sim error?
in some cases you use symbols w/o shadow dance
hmm thats different than what i was told early today
Sectech first finisher, cold blood only on second sectech in shadow blades
so dry symbol and dry sectech can both happen?
The goal is to make sure you are always able to use 2 of dance, sectech and symbols during each blades
Outside of that you want to use as many of them as possible without losing that ability
you can kinda run out of dances for your symbols when you pool for you CDs so you send a dry syymbols with Sectech
I would recommend to just not bother with sending solo symbols like that, as its easy to fuck up and theres very little to no difference sending it at the end of the fight anyway
i understand the part we dry sectech/ symbol with sectech without SoD, but dry symbol doesnt really make sense to me
ya true
Solo setech maybe if you get lucky with cdr
It's some niche Sim only shit
But seems like it would be better to pool a symbols for a setech
Not quite sure why its even sending there, probably an edge case
Sub does no damage outside of Cd's so it's an optimization that barely means anything and is easy to fuckup

Is It normal that basically all my m0 gear so far has haste on it
i wouldn't think too much about stats. there are no bad stats
just sim top gear and equip what it suggests
Except haste, haste is not a real stat
it is very real
Is it safe to skip intro quest on alt?
yes
I'm just asking is m0 intentionally dropping a stilted amount of haste gear or is it bad luck
I got one boot of vers crit and that's it
I think it's literally random what stats they put in the m+ pool
Odds aren’t that low to get haste on your gear
Can I craft anything pre patch like this for my circles ring slot or am I holding for next week
U craft a weapon first so probably not
So no old spark in pre patch, k
You can craft things that dont require a spark
But i wouldnt recommend crafting with your spark
Would recommend checking out dr atnos latest video
You can get a Vet weapon from 5 mask visions vendor. Nightfall weekly can give a Vet piece, too.
Thanks I was wondering where to go
He goes through all of the things you can do this week
Dr Atnos's video is very good

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
second finisher is cold blood
second secret
but it is an optimization
you gain roughly 1-1.5% dps doing so
but its up to you to do it or not
a lot of players just like to macro cold blood and secret technique
and have less to worry about
hope this explains it
but thanks for the feedback, i can see how i can improve the information flow on wowhead to make it more apparent
can you link it
i assume
0:00 Sources of Loot
9:11 Crafted Gear
10:12 Alt Campaign Skip
10:54 The Cloak
12:40 The Rep
14:12 New Healing Potion
this?
Yes
perfect, so i might helped 2 people find it
every sim i see dont use cold blood in between cd, since the cd times perfectly, is it becasue the potential delay on it? i would assume use a cold blood on one of the evis within small cd would be a small gain tho
simulations use the optimizations
Yes, every second you delay cb is a second you need to delay flag
but using cold blood between cooldowns is very rigit, so its better to delay
Technically you can use it immediately on a backstab or something but its negligible
And it doesnt line up particularly well with sectechs cooldown
i see, thx
So best is to just use it during blades
CB shuriken toss 
Best thing to do this week is kyveza imo
actually fun challange and best prep for progression
Im filling my touching grass qouta 
Also valid
Kyveza is imo best solo content in years
doing just a couple dungeons/delves every other day, chillin a bit
Can we talk double on use trinkets ? 
have you been on vacation the last few weeks or?
95% are useless
sad state
Yes
lilly is just so bad
nicu
pvp trinket is better
It’s a joke
Or well, for 12 days
been good?
PvP trinket is our gateway to prism

Have fun. sub is the pvp spec after all

we dont have any execute right?
Nop
Cloak
only sin does for rogue
🤣
ah im doing a little bit better than my sim lol that might be why
why do wipes reset blades but not flag and trinket, it drives me crazy
Huh
90s cooldowns dont get reset generally
Blades is on there because it used to be 2 min, and they forgot to remove it
ah nvm blizz don't lurk in here
Everything greater than 1min should reset
MOP they got resetted 
Also that sod doesn't reset is a crime
dances reset i think?, i don't see a logic in general
yes they do
kyveza doesnt reset flag but everything else
great spec to prog
full charge time is over 90s
I don't know why we can't just have everything reset
game sucks
At least if boss is pulled earlier this tier your prism will be reset 
your 0 stack prism will be usable asap!
Why do I see lots of people talking about how bad lily is, but wowhead recommend it as S tier?
its a good stepping stone trinket to prism
It's bad vs hoc but hoc is old patch and capped at 684 if you got a mythic one
just depends on what gear you're going into the season with
i know saving coup de grace into big cd is a thing, using black powder and wait etc, but is saving coup de grace into mini cd a thing? like a couple seconds before SoD/symbol/sectech combo?
iirc max ilvl lily is 3% below max ilvl prism
nah
which for some people is a fine alternative if they can't get prism
Not really no
so i can send it as long as there hero talent debuff is up?
Holding loses you stacks in general since you can get more stacks with any backstab, and your small bursts aint powerful enough to warrant that
Obv if theres an important set of adds that really need to die asap in 10 seconds you can hold
Does prism get used in the opener, or delayed until 2nd shadow blades? I thought it had the downside of not being usable with initial cooldowns because it needed to build up
But on a dummy you would not
make sense, thx
You will only have 1 stack on pull yes so its very weak there

thoughts on pairing it with ritual forge? using ritual forge on pull, then prism with 2nd shadow blades and then ritual forge with 3rd?
Worse than using a passive
Interesting, thanks. I'll sim based on whatever I can get anyway ha, but good to think through
Unless the fight is really short, but at that point you wouldnt play prism
You would just play forge
since eveveryone in the world wants forge, I doubt I get a mythic one any time soon
Like the passive agi from a passive trinket+90s prism on-use is stronger than forge
makes sense
I'll hopefully get an antenna and a prism, seems like they'll be good for Sin as well
Because a 684 hoc is still near close to it and they nerfed hoc instead of buffing lilly.
684 is better than max ilvl lily? I simmed a 691 lily and it was better than my 684 hoc
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
because they nerfed hoc
its still trash lilly
Oh I see
like 99% of trinkets this season are just bad
and everyone wants now 2nd boss raid trinket forge and prism
passive ones are fine tbh but all just boring
guys , but how you set up so many keys on sub?
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
ty
that command doesn't asnwer your question but symbols do pandemic
bindings? use shift and ctrl
i have 12 button mouse but i still can't get all of it
I was just thinking…this
Pretty sure everybody wants forge and nobody wants prism
ok explain cheat death not resetting on ky veza then

what the fuck
no biggie i take all the prisms then
This is abysmal
Works for me 
Still ✌️ my friend. ❤️
not even close
game sucks
but also why u playing cheat on kyveza
elusiveness op
plus cheat literally doesnt work anyway
even if it wasnt a choice node with our best defensive possible
ye that was my point
it worked on one ability can't remember which. Maybe the ghost charges?
nope definitely not
and even if it did work you'd immediately get executed by her passive
nope massacre kills you right through cheat
kills through all immunes and cheats
there was something that procced it and I survived yesterday
kyveza kills you at 10% anyway making cheat useless, still doesnt explain the logic of not resetting it
that was the only mechanic I died to
i think im probably not good enough to kill her this week lmao
but its fun to bang my head against it anyway
one of our tanks is doing it as vengeance and he's not having a good time lol
same, honestly the coolest one they've ever added imo
when I get it I'm never taking it off
whats the title
Contract Killer ___
ah
rogue as fuck
not bad
even if they add Eepy Kitten?
that'll be for my alts 😄
I'm quite fond of "the Mad"
I used trashmaster since BfA but it's so common now.. Smh
Haunt the Mad would be a good one
also why the fuck
is Brann just up and shooting mobs across the room that I haven't pulled and aren't in combat
Yeah he's special like that
doing a Sluice and he's shooting mfers across the map
He got a new sniper rifle trying it out
He's helping
ok last question , why coup de grace disapper? is it a modifer of eviscerate?
yep
ok ty a lot
its basically 3 eviscerates in a trenchcoat
nice so 1 keybind less
guildie got a nemesis summon this week so yes
can’t use them this week though obviously though
I have it macred but have another keybind for sectech without Cold BLood that I hit in the opener.
same
i mean not only used in opener other sectech as well, its just the second one within burst press the macro
!wa
okay yeah ?? kyveza fucking owns
just need to lock in a bit more for the dashes and I got it
spill issue though
yeah same
its when I gotta 180 quick that I'm getting caught out
so yeah krill issue
got to 55% after a few pulls so I'm gonna make it my saturday plans lol
i'm thinking i might actually be colourblind and that's why i'm struggling lmao - i can't track the moving clones
actaully same, on the ?? difficulty its too fast for me
i do it like every other try and feel lucky 😄
ye i was able to do ? but ?? is actually not possible
?? Kyveza makes me want like a whole story or raid with bosses like this
i will give it try tommrow some more and see
Like wow combat but Elden Ring
btw for Kyveza turn off anti-aliasing and it will show the current and next dashes with a red outline
makes it way easier
my brann just stops heal me and it's over after portals
my brann ran into a oneshot portal 4 pulls in a row :/
I just look at the dash streak for the guessing game and not try to follow one as it moves
easier for my eyes to just look at the whole area and track that part of it
on Assa she just bitch slaps me with her white hits
with aa off you can see the current dash and the next dash will glow red, makes it so much easier to react to without having to memorise the entire pattern
ptr update 💀
yeah the red lines make it way easier for massacre

I'm actually probs gonna turn up the brightness when I go back to fighting her tomorrow lol
is number 2 talking about shuriken storming in between coup's or does the same apply to storming before first coup press as well if its up?
0 copium
you better not have gotten sin nerfed
me not responsible
Based purely on my favourite warlock content creator, I'm expecting sweeping buffs to lock


Yeah I had to swap to sub bc of verse
Sub also has tons on passive damage reduction assa doesnt have
This too
Without factoring in vers
yeah I feel way safer as sub
aint no way
Also running elusiveness is good bc she has the execute mechanic
I just swapped to frost DK lmao it's night and day living the autoattacks
Inbetween coups
Can't you just apply the handbrake on the PTR Damage so that Rogue stays OP for more than two weeks?
They mostly balance around raid, and rogue isnt looking particularly powerful there
thats why they buffed BP again
realz already whispered me bp buff
ptr is def up
Dont worry , rogue meta
another 10% to BP

unsub angle
Find Weakness still exists, L patch
i got baited by some
manipulation
but listen
he had a point
he said that
and 3mins after
we got ptr update and it opened
so he and me are half crazy
maybe still chances
xdd
Ye the expected time for class tuning would be around now
when is reset of delves? today was crazy shitty
But 
the new delve stories are kinda ass
Assa nerfs 👀
fungal folly one managed to make it go from speedy to pure stinky
Theyre gonna tune the second i go to bed
Doubtful
nothin in the blue post tracker yet
when you go, so i set alarm for myslef
Ptr seems to be the same as before too so 
yeah don't see anything for us at least

Too busy reading reddit about how "assa can just swap target" and how arcane gaps assa on funnel since assa only does pad aoe

They sure know a lot about rogues on reddit

they know best man, swap targets after you dm
That is my favorite thing to do tbf
Ye just make shit up
W making shit up
Well, Kalamazi knows how it works. Since he started claiming in every video that Warlock needs to be buffed, has Warlock ever been bad since then? Coincidence? I think not.
blame kalamazi for warlocks being strong and blame him again when they get nerfed in a few days
ez
we just need our content creater rogues to not log runs and completely troll their rotation
I cant watch him ngl. Like has no clue what his is talking about and copy paste what his class discord says. Thats like a real paid actor 😄

any have talents for mplus ?

Hi, I'm new to rogue class and I wanted to understand why there is a macro for Shadow Dance and Thistle Tea, if we already have a talent that only uses Thistle Tea.
we want the mastery buff from Thistle tea during our dance windows. If your procing it from low energy its probably outside of dances
Perfect, thank you for clearing up my doubt.
you can proc it sometimes in dance but very rarely
as SoD already gives energy and you get a lo from finishers
At the moment, I only have three macros: Shadow Dance, Tricks of the Trade, and Symbols of Death.
Can you recommend any others that are essential for optimizing gameplay?
One that prevents me from accidentally launching it twice in a row.
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
ah that one is fine
you can have a cb macro
but apart from those you dont really macro anything
#showtooltip Symbols of Death
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null
/cqs
What is the CB macro?
!cb
- Why is the Cold Blood and Secret Technique macro not recommended anymore?
When you macro these two together you often end up using it outside of your shadow blades window rather than inside of it, and since Subtlety gets so many damage modifiers inside its cooldowns its actually more damage use it only in Shadow Blades
(yes, even if you end up losing casts of cold blood). Ideally you use it on your second Secret Technique as it will be buffed by more stacks of Flawless Form and have higher Flagellation stacks.
I thought it was ok to macro tea to my dance should I not be doing that?
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
yea dance and tea work together you can use it a little bit more smartly but there is no need
10% aura buff to sub into best spec in the game

oh wait 10% dont even put us over shadow priest
After that chart from earlier are we still bullish on sub for raid?

No warlock changes, what world are we living in
Azeroth
Bit of a shame
The usually refrain from making big changes until after rwf
Which basically locks in the overperformers
Curious to see how that messes with their comps
They have enough spare time to spam twitter between pressing their two buttons ig
4.40 tho
Like what the helly
Imma change up my sims too for optimal chances at loot 
Boomietech
"We weren't supposed to statically sim 5 min and 5 targets?"
boomy buffs 🙂
big smiles
Moonkin rolling up to be meta in keys for yet another season
Fellowship cannot come soon enough
Sont worey guys
yeah i don't see a world where boomy isn't good
Ima get a job at blizzard
And nerf boomie to bottom
And buff outlaw rogue to top dps
Gg
The crazier part is that unlike some other specs, where you can maybe argue that it is hard to tune them for both keys and raid due to damage profile or whatever
Boomie just keeps having their aoe and st buffed every season
they’re not a cleave spec
You could just nerf starfall until they aren’t meta anymore

surely
btw i'm watching whispyr's fatebound video to prep in case i need to play it
this talk of coins is making me lose my mind
it's literally just TL;DR do the burst rotation correctly and the spec plays itself right
you just press your buttons in the exact order and you're gucci?
hmmm
"Since our secondary stats are stronger per-point than our primary stat, you should be eating secondary stat food at all times, either Beledar's Bounty Icon Beledar's Bounty, Outsider's Provisions Icon Outsider's Provisions, Jester's Board Icon Jester's Board, Empress' Farewell Icon Empress' Farewell personal food, or the The Sushi Special Icon The Sushi Special Feast. They are all identical."
It's an afk hero talent
is this true? secondary stats are stronger than primary stats? i was using feasts always
Just do opener correct that's it
nice
tight
might have to go to personal
Sim it and it's irrelevant.
It's like 4k dps
we're at the point where secondaries are better than main stat
nah it's just once you have enough main stat on your gear
it loses value over secondaries
Pretty much dk wl Aug alle are busted. Rogue is mid except some fights might be very good. Like fire was last tier in sims very mid and you played lots of them
yeah i wouldn't doom this early yet
things are gonna be changing at a very rapid pace soon
just pray we don't get the same thing as last time where blizz just left us at the bottom
i noticed mastery over vers, as well. is that also an end of expansion DR thing
no idea, prob because of the new tier maybe
Bro if boomkins were the state of rogue they would outcry
new tier is lots more finisher dmg from flawless stacks and extra coups
Yeah but they're boomkins
if we could somehow get a bigger playerbase
ah
Yes unlike being in other states
then we could complain en masse
I keep telling people to play rogue but they stop talking to me
Yes because rogue isn't braindead spec
heehee
I do wonder if there's gonna be something in that big empty area of the map on K'aresh..
Just dont get haste on your gear and its all fine
Like I still
we get an actual rework with animation and everything in midnight. Like we had in legion.
We don't need a full rework, so that makes it more likely, imo. Just.. get rid of the shitty ndoes nobody likes. FW. Fix Shadow finishers or change it. And then give us some ky'veza love.
Put dark brew near the top instead of FW. Theme us around SHADOWY COOLNESS (blueberry flavour)
i think rogue is overdue for the shammy treatment
How come?
Undead Paladins
Light v Void expansion
I am full void 
And I still expect the hero talent change to be something like "You have Light / Void nodes that change how the abilities work!"
Nimble flurry now does holy damage, that's it, that's the light node
oh god are we getting hero talents in midnight
not again
please
i can't deal with another DS
nah, they're just not going away
oh really?
No chance they delete hero talents
They go away, monkey paw curls, they bake DS itno Sub's tree as they think that's the Sub tree spec.
Bhahaha
That would be brutal ahaha
The problem is no other class has hero talents as balanced and good as Holy Priest- it has huge talent variety in the spec tree and both hero talents are hugely viable for every state of play. Yes one can be omega optimized (oracle) but so can archon with the CD extension build
Every class needs to be as balanced and have as much vairiety as hpriest does currently
Balanced meaning both hero talents being good choices
I hope everyone is having fun!
I expect no changes to rogue in midnight so get surprised if they do any
Does anyone know why I"m getting taken out of stealth the second my tank pulls?
What dagger are you using
!fuu
boss, random pack
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Okay, it's not the dagger that pulls you out of stealth constantly
Are you in the rookery and took the buff during the jump down
Feet picture kek
rofl yea i saw i left that in XD
when i realized that was a thing i very purposefully stopped trying to hit the birds on the way down
Can you show us your whole gear? Might help narrow it down 'cos it's quite nebulous right now.
is there any optimization in mplus like the rotten to apply FW
it feeels like it's just an AOE that goes out randomly
Also comp in the group where it's happening. Does it happen outside the groups?
ik we dont take it anymore
No items that could be pulling you outta stealth..
idk I've just noticed it with this group in the last hour
BM monk, havoc, resto sham, mm hunter
signet notlikethis
welllll api just came out right?
signet is bad for sub 'cos it's a 2 minute trinket and we're a 1:30 spec
HoC will be way better
trust
losing 10 ilvls on trink to have HoC equipped will be worth it
100%
Legit not sure what could be pulling you outta stealth though. maybe a trinket interaction on another player or monk passive doing it again, who knows.
idk why i just didn't want to use it - i make decisions too quickly -.-
also pre casual player atm / first week of season
it's all good! try to sim next time
idk, hopefully it changs but fml it's so annoying lol
couldn't we not sim until recently?
the robot will tell you the truth always
haha
!fuu

If in doubt about trinkets, just ask here too, someone will help
I get scared asking discord questions, which is fair
This discord is very good about helping people
i should #simit more
ye
Simming stuff is always the best first place to figure out if number betterer.
But for Sub, outside of very rare excetpions, we'll always want a trinket to align to your burst window every 1:30
is there even a 1.5 min cd on use this season?
Lily in Dome, which is just a Better HoC.
can't see many on-uses on the wowhead trinket list in general
I think we're just using Prism though
ooOOoo i seee - I've yet to do that, so, fingers crossed!
we have more options next season
prism looks overtuned so yeah
In midnight???
oh this season i guess haha
How do you know that? 🤔
Nah nah you've let it slip, he's in the alpha
drop the dish on rogue changes: do we have a poison toggle
sorry can't tell you what's happening in the future
damn
HE KNOWS
I mean you could we both know it's "no"
HE IS A PROPHET
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/subtlety/bis-gear Scroll down to 'Trinkets' (BiS lists aren't useful. Trinket lists are very useful) for a guide look at the good chocies we've got this season. If you've not already, that is.
nah yeah cheers i'm already looking at it
Hell yeah
looks like dome trinket is the way
ye, dome for now if you can. It's basically HoC But Better
Pvp trinket is bis early on
Wowhead doesn't allow for pvp trinkets
Ye, which is silly. Once season hits, you can farm 700 conquest and buy the Badge trinket from the pvp vendor
It's a 1 miunte cooldown with crit on it, and has a 17k agi proc at 701. We play it like a 1:30
17k agi? 😮
700 conquest can be farmed via war crates in warmode, or just by playing pvp.
It's superduper quick and very effective as an early trinket
is forge actually worth it
does it give such a ridiculous amount of main stat where it's actually alright to use as a 3 min
I assume you pair it with prism
Yeah, that's my immediate thought
ok yeah i remember reading about this
!up
pvp trinket is better then forge
at same itemlevel early on
Makes sense
Is wowhead anti pvp or something?
No
You just play it as your on-use
Prism+forge is not good
It sims bad and even if you want to argue you cant sim m+ you often end up holding cds a bit in m+ anyway so with that double on-use you just lose so much whenever that happen
anything to play arund for perforated veins or is it just taken for death perception
Forget it exists
Its the worst talent in the entire tree
what i like to hear 
havent looked at the sub tree in a while forgot we have shurikens can slow or speed you up
and free cheap shot
hahaha
Like if you manually disable the talent in simc you wont even notice
Because 50% dmg on every 5th backstab is not valuable
It should be 30000% on every tenth
It would still be a pretty bad talent if the 50% was active at all times for all builders
I've not played any pvp since BFA, so I assume the warcrates are just the same as they were back then?
Yes
Huh, good to know. Thanks for the correction
Sad, though. Would've been cool to alternate
!up
Tons of people will play it anyway
And theres nothing i can do about it, just like in dragonflight

On shorter fights later on we might play forge though
Late in the season I bet it'll go real hard
Theres some specific fight timings where you dont lose casts by holding 90s for forge
In those cases forge is really good
(like 2:30, 4:30)
I'm curious about the amp in Dimensius's final phase and what might end up being used there. Just seeing how much damage people can optimize to slam into the 200% amp.
Hey guys, for some reasons, my macro cold blood + secret technique doesnt work anymore
any have the same issue?
it just wont use cold blood anymore
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Secret Technique
Were you playing Fatebound Assa? That'll bug it.
I think just relogging.
okay thank you
astral gladiator's badge of ferocity
thank you
bigger for assa than sub hehe
do we do the pvp crates again
or how you get it now
Yes, same as always.
PvP crates or do PvP. 700 conquest, blast it out on reset when it's available.
anyone getting it where their TFD sometimes needs 11 seconds out of stealth?
this was like 9 or 10 seconds when it first started
might have something to do with cancelling dance early with a TFD active
double on use just gives a sense of control, it is why it will likely be used by many
good morning lovely people, how was your day so far?
Its 12s in pvp
ahhhh
had some xiao long bao for lunch so pretty good
that sound great
Right what bugs is sub plagued with so fair this patch
oh, khadgar was promoted to "boss"
nothing severe, the one thing we would like to have changed is secret technique being soft capped on 8 instead of 5
So far
we have bugs, but nothing impacting gameplay
deathstalker still has the bug with mark
the relevant bugs are typically the ones which cause annoying gameplay or other issues
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Do we still have coup shadowcraft resets on each tick of damage?
That could be annoying with more casts
Unlucky
donno what the haste breakpoint is, but I've found that you can actually fit in a generator before the last hit sometimes
so at least you don't have to worry about it in lust
nice
Haste has literally no impact on globals as energy classes
The global is 1s regardless
And coups gcd is 1.2s for some reason
What does this mean, can you explain?
What itemlevel?
how big is sub's burst this season ? compared to other specs for example ?
Yes
Coup does damage when you cast, 0.4s later and 1s later
does that mean a lot ? xd
All of these damage instances can proc shadowcraft
Yes, good burst
Ty
more than..... unholy ?
Outside of bl absolutely
Ye
During bl similar
Uh wins with pi I think
If you go by the simc stacked chart sub obviously doesnt do too well, but especially with prism sub cant do its full potential burst in the opener
!bp
If you cheat and add all the buffs you would have access to later on in the fight (prism stacks, coup, sht ) its reasonably close to unholy
Sub on amps 🍆
erm
if i have one global left in my dance and im at 5 cp with a gun to my head what button am i pressing
Everytime ive asked mr robot its always said strike
But intuitively it feels like it should be evis 
trick question u actually need to press crimson vial bc ur healers dont heal u
but ok ty ya felt weird striking again
but prob super minor diff either way
i would press slice and dice
holy ban this guy
;D
With unseen blade that strike does good damage, but we cant really tell when we have that up so its 
i like doing my rotation in aoe between unseen blade's icd and sometimes just ripping a backstab bc i think i've gotten a proc based on vibes
we fuu page used to have how much % raid buffs benefit us right
yea very likely that over 100000 it might be better to get that random unseen
but caveman brain will evis
Ye and then once in a while youll do it but its not ready
And you feel like a clown
yo wait surely there's a way u could like map out the liklihood that you've gotten a proc after some amount of time
Yes
like after 10s there's a 50% liklihood u have a proc
But its still random
It's so unseen even we don't know where it is
yea kinda have to hate it they just dont give any indicator
Now with tier youll sometimes find 2 cats in the box too
yea like sometimes you will be like okay stab double oh nice
stab double proc
oh nice
wait

the dslice sim doesnt take replicating shadows?
how bad is rupture if thats the case lol
i do recommend replicating and tfd
even if it sims a bit less but it is quite comfy
over tornado and and planned execution?
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
god remember when tornado wasn't used (s2)
those were the days
I remember it like it was a week ago
hc 6/6 lily and champ 8/8 badge
Then don’t use tornado
nice so again pvp trinket is just better and doesnt cost mythic crests
world if badge had 90s cd
Well it has 1 minute so it's basically 90s
tell that to my boss
Gimme his email and I'll tell him
Does the PVP trinket drop at 701 ilvl?
do you have to land on the supercharged combo point for it to have effect ?
nope, not anymore
oh ok, so you just lvl using carved or whatever it's called up to 701 before raid?
ty !
You jsut consume it in your next finisher
I assume so unless they've changed it. last season it was 1/8 Champ, same as all pvp stuff
you can go check the vendor right now for the S2 stuff
Wait you use nado for m+ this season?
and do we cold blood coup de grace or is ST better ?
Wasnt the nadon't build better
it would have bigger stat budget on active
true
go read the wowhead guide. BUt you CB the 2nd Sec Tech during blades, and you only CB Sec Techs. Better to just use CB as a 1.5 min cd
Flag adds 259% damage you think?
if you have this kind of questions, you always link your sim
Yea link your sim please
simc isnt optimized to work without flag
and it probably breaks
deathstalker
trickster is better and you missed flag
sub TCers have been paid off by big flags to unoptmize any builds without flag
wake up sheeples
youve all been played like fools
I'll have to wait to see what other people are running in pvp then
Was just trying to make a pvp build
Once the season starts, I will be able to look them up
Pve =//= pvp
I dont think you win pvp by doing a lil more damage anyway
oh if that's all it is then that works for me
ok thanks
We don’t
but not what's left
(Atleast I don’t have a clue)

Maybe that’s the mantra of sub devs 
how do you track the cooldown/stacks of unseen blade
!wa
it's kind of hard to track, you use one of the WA packages
(the stacks is easy, but idk the cd xd)
oh..... okay
sad
thanks
think le's pack has some form of tracking, but its in gneral messy

We are BP on lower target counts this season, and at the same time not playing rotten for find weakness. Why is that when BP usage has increased?
BP got buffed
ye exactly, would think that rotten value would increase then?
we will run with more crit
and tier set will make us cast storm during cooldowns too
!coup
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 Blades procs between the 2 Coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
I have been discussing a lot with my guild whether to play assa or sub this season. Momentarily I think of playing assa in m+ because I have more experience on it and it seems kinda broken tbh. In raid context I wanna start as sub trickster and play two or three bosses on assa to min max the fights. What are your thoughts on that kind of min-maxing? Really hoped I could just spam sub but it seems to not be optimal ^^
assassiantion is just easier to perform on in m+, so if m+ is your main content its the best option
That's what I thought but I don't really have a main content. Playing 15ish keys and 4-6 mythic bosses a season. Rather average try hard with medium skill ^^
In general if you’re looking for guidance now, it won’t matter. Play what you’re most comfortable in and start min maxing as needed. Until the fights are seen and we have data everything is just speculation. Do you need to move cds around? Sub. Can you funnel adds with execute? Assa. Not all that deep from a raid perspective.
A lot of the apl is tied to Flagellation and its cooldown. So altering the apl to also work without flag makes the code insanely more complicated as of now
And when i checked the best noflag build was still ~16% behind
Play what you enjoy. Unless you are top 20 the differences in min/maxxing damage won't matter whether you kill teh boss
So i decided its not worth it 
Sounds like exactly what someone who was paid off by big flag would say.
they're sandbagging on purpose
Perforated Veins my beloved
Learned from
Kalamazi
Bro is ombudsman for the no-flag-federation
or maybe this is sandbagged sims and theyre even stronger than what they are now
omsubsman
As of know I enjoy the variety. I will stick with both to start with and go where the data is leading.
Ty for all the helpful discussions. Really appreciate the community 🙂
You never know with them until they top raid charts
Gotta utilize one of the few words english has actually borrowed from swedish when given the opportunity
oh didn't know ombudsman was sweedish in origin
Our next sub rogue dev folks

you can blame me for it tho if you want
when we have flawless form, do we evis instead of black powder in 8- pulls ?
do you not play around it then ? Just always tornado between the coups de grace ?
Theres actually a hidden tech where if you untalent flag and take ⚠️ Warning Signs ⚠️ your black powder gets a 100% damage increase. Trust me its true, I was the powder.
sir this is a gloomblade channel
only tornado between 4p coup while you're in blade cds. pretty sure you strike when you're not in cds between coups
