daggers dropped from heroic, guild is just having my save spark for potential moth kill as well lol

orchid nest
#

ty

maiden oar
#

i dont blame them bc moth seems tuned harder

jagged rover
maiden oar
#

i think it sadly looks like im playing sin on alot of fights

#

so ascendance is my embellishment anyway

jagged rover
#

Same, I started playing fb sin on dimensius last night and it does a stupid amount of damage

#

I dont have ascendance though, not sure if I'm going to change from ele focus right now

maiden oar
#

is it better than sub

#

i feel like sub lines up well on dimensius

#

but maybe some of it is pad on the add platforms

jagged rover
#

it felt like it lined up well, and with 4pc it becomes a 90s spec anyways and has the same line ups

maiden oar
#

oh yea i meant breaking the wall while killing the big guy

#

and being able to dance all the mass guys

#

but idk if thats actuall yimportant or not on non heroic

jagged rover
#

I just run caustic and dont target it, classic sin kill the big thing

maiden oar
#

hehe

jagged rover
#

though I did shadowstep the nullbinders before we were gripping them and stunning it

maiden oar
#

so cool

jagged rover
#

I also took the platform spots for drops near the melee add in p1 to keep caustic cleaving

maiden oar
#

maybe fb is the play on dimensius but id be sad if so i like sub so much

#

yea i think the dances line up wlel in p1 if the adds are hard dps check on mythic

jagged rover
#

sub felt the best on nexus-king and I like it on forgeweaver, but I think sin is better on forgeweaver for sure

maiden oar
#

yeah on nexus king i went insane for 704 main hand

#

i felt so cool

#

he died before my cb sectech too or i wouldve gone even more iinsane

jagged rover
#

I messed up my last set of cds during the rings with our movement 🙁

maiden oar
jagged rover
#

though I was carrying each platform titan damage

#

next week probably holding prism for the dragon burn after the 1:30 use

maiden oar
maiden oar
#

but i think if ur unethical prism on the platform goes insane

jagged rover
#

I didn't want to find a new keybind for prism so just left it macro'd to blades

lime obsidian
#

!wa

maiden oar
#

i have blades alone on alt r and prism + blades on alt f

#

and same thing for deathmark and prism deathmark

#

it feels good

jagged rover
#

I'm guilty of leaving it on deathmark. Probably change it to vanish macro for FB sin

maiden oar
#

and if you change your mind or misclick you can like

#

press alt r for reg death mark

#

and bc its on cd u can go oh my bad and press alt f right after

#

and u lose nothing

#

i think something like thats good if u have space

jagged rover
#

I think the only comfy bind I have left for it is one of the mouse buttons. Stealth bar is already kinda fucked because of ambush and shroud lol

maiden oar
#

sad

#

i have psychotic binds fwiw

#

backstab and ss swap places in stealth

#

mb4 builder is comfy for me but i think no one else in the world likes it

jagged rover
maiden oar
#

oh are you mmo mouse guy

jagged rover
#

yeah, though I mostly only use the first 2 rows

maiden oar
#

icic

jagged rover
#

I miss when shadowstrike was a clean replacement for backstab in stealth

maiden oar
#

yea i just have nothing on r in outside of stealth so the swap is consistent but it feels like a waste

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.

WTF

limpid sage
last gate
#

should i treat symbol as shiv?

#

like use during bursts and never use without them?

proven plover
#

do u still CB 2nd sectec without S2 tier? is there any point in that?

last gate
#

!builds

left ledge
#

Not sure what that means tbh

vagrant fulcrum
#

@vale pine you incorrectly state Araz' has a three min cd, perhaps you mean three minute usage?

swift tinsel
#

they do different things

left ledge
#

You play around symbols

#

Assa doesn’t play around shiv

vagrant fulcrum
#

in the trinket list

last gate
left ledge
#

If cds aren’t coming up with. 20-30

#

You pop symbols with dance to use sectec and your dance rotation

#

Otherwise you’re trying to make sure you can fit 2x dance and symbols in flag blades

#

Sub is all about lining everything up neatly

#

You do that, you burst
You don’t, you’re healer dps

last gate
#

i just want to do street with ease

left ledge
#

For m+ sub is very lax

#

Just symbols and dance on packs

#

Try to make sure you have enough charges for cds

last gate
left ledge
#

You always dance with symbols

last gate
#

and when shadow blades?

left ledge
#

On whatever pack you wanna do damage to

last gate
#

[Danse Macabre] is it possible to skip this talent? it looks complicated xd

left ledge
#

No

#

It’s not complicated

#

You can ignore it for the most part

#

It’s just strong as it is

last gate
#

and the backstab in this rotation it look weird af and my smoll sin brain cant handle

vagrant fulcrum
#

it's better off to take it and play it wrong

#

than not take it at all

astral axle
#

man sub with 4p feels so smooth and good. wish we did a bit better in raid SADDIES

vagrant fulcrum
#

there were some truly cursed danse optimisations on 2t in df

#

i remember kurog lmao

last gate
#

lol

vagrant fulcrum
#

to this day im not sure if a consensus was reached about it

last gate
#

we frag only for 2.5% mastery?

#

its so fking low 😭

vagrant fulcrum
#

atleast trickster lets us send sectec asap

#

we used to land it as last finisher

#

but the clones also had to hit

limpid sage
#

The extra coup procs gives so much cdr over a dungeon

vagrant fulcrum
last gate
#

1 question about [Danse Macabre]
why we throw sectec only with one stack when we can have 2 stack?

#

we just have to waste our first full cp

#

😄

vagrant fulcrum
#

i fucking hated how starved we've been for dance this expac

keen dome
maiden oar
#

where they just make the tier set part of sub

last gate
vagrant fulcrum
#

your sectec primes unseen blade and gets you stacking a lot of flawless form

last gate
#

got it.

vagrant fulcrum
#

tierset can go crazy and proc a lot of blades for tons of mastery

vagrant fulcrum
#

and you wana fit a lot of coups inside dance

maiden oar
astral axle
maiden oar
#

because more sectechs means more coups means more cdr means more sectechs etc

astral axle
#

also pretty crazy prio

maiden oar
#

yea its so cool

vagrant fulcrum
#

and playing ds on sikran 🤢

astral axle
#

hah i was spared of that merficully xd

vagrant fulcrum
#

ended up just playing exclusively sin from then on for prog really

limpid sage
#

Is the shuriken storm optimization only in between coups or whenever coup is ready and you got blades up?

#

i have a doubt... just how many symbols+dance can we actually do between the big CDs (SB + Flag)?

zealous hedge
#

we got any good weak aura trackers ?

tight sapphire
#

the thing is that a lot of times when the time comes to do SB+Flag, i only can do 1 dance in the big CDs window

#

some guides says that i could do 2 times the symbols+dance and have 2 dance for the next SB+Flag, but i have been practising in the dummy and i find this is not always the case...

So wtf are the bars for under the energy bar in the middle and what is the big purple bar for? also why did it make my combo points dissapear from under my portrait

#

Guys whats up with thistle tea on sub? We use it for mast buff X2 times during blades right? Cant find any info about it. (Note: I hate it tbh but saw lots of ppl using it in m+ instead of CB 😝)

dusk stone
#

macro it to dance

#

forget about it

#

2p, normal prism, s2 pacemaker, rotten build

wintry dove
#

just got this in a flood 10, 4pc is insane

dusk stone
fierce lintel
#

so 2p is 10% and 4p is 20 more?

dusk stone
#

2p is like 12% or something and 4pc is like 28.5 i think

limber pelican
#

yoo is there a particular reason why to use ss and not backstab between the casts of coup with the 4set?

dusk stone
#

to not waste stacks of escalating blade

wintry dove
#

^^

dusk stone
#

you cant build ES blade stacks while the proc is up

limber pelican
#

ah yeah makes sense

#

thanks

wintry dove
#

when you go coup -> ss -> coup -> double proc escalating blade -> coup -> ss -> coup it just feels so good

#

I've hit like low 30s for stacks of flawless form

lofty saffron
#

Is it normal to start each fight with 0 stacks of netherprism? Am I missing something?

iron plover
#

i saw people go thistle as well

alpine wraith
#

idk what db has to do with those

#

but ok

solemn lance

Good to see pallys start to amek a little noise and instantly they are buffed

it's from gambit iirx

#

iirc

gaunt bluff

gambit has the first one and streets second

dusk stone
#

yeah ok

gaunt bluff
#

thats why im confused

dusk stone
#

i vote we close the channel as a sign of protest of blizzard giving into this garbage

frosty birch
#

Gambit has been dropping gear from streets maybe that's why you are confused

sullen hare

I'm not sure that has anything to do with their channel

nvm ctrl f helped me

they said they arent opening until double digit buffs

we need our ravenholdht overlords the close channels so i can play sub again

dusk stone

other discords are doing it

fallow nimbus

why did that retri whining work?

dusk stone

because nepotism baby

fallow nimbus

imagine the whole 12 of us going on a strike kekw

frail kindle
#

They were gonna buff ret regardless

hidden jasper
#

Sub feels so nice in m+, then you walk into raid and feel absolutely dogpiss

frail kindle
#

Closing down a discord server has nothing to do with it

frail kindle
#

Definitely pretty dogpissy but it’s not horrible on a few bosses

strange chasm
#

Are we popping nether on first cd set

#

or 2nd

hidden jasper
#

Popping it on first set doesn't really do anything since you don't have stacks

warm marlin
#

can pop on 1st/3rd/5th or macro and do every one

#

does anyone know if the opener/prio list changes if im playing with the rotten/inevitability?

#

builds sim similarly for me so i wanna try it once

hazy breach
#

It does not

oak grotto
#

We still dont want any haste right?

#

Cause I simmed and it told me to use hastering

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

You’re at the start of a season. Ilvl tends to win out

oak grotto
swift tinsel
#

yeah, it looks like its replacing your jastor so its swapping some haste for slightly more haste

lilac stag
#

It wants to take the crit ring

swift tinsel
#

yep

oak grotto
#

Yeah I lose the mastery aswell

lilac stag
#

That’s not a haste ring

oak grotto
#

Sorry, Crit ring with haste secondary

lilac stag
#

Dropping CB for Tea increases crit

swift tinsel
#

they have db

#

cb

oak grotto
#

I use CB

#

Not Tea

swift tinsel
#

yeah

lilac stag
#

I can’t see it out mobile easily. Sorry

#

Try adding a crafted crit/mastery ring and see which it prefers

swift tinsel
#

the bigger crit plus 15ilvl makes sense to want that

#

for the robot

oak grotto
#

Yeah but does crit increase chance for Crit only? Or also increase crit damage

tepid trellis
#

chance

oak grotto
#

I mean I lose like 30% mastery

#

And therefore I feel like I kind of need tea to balance it out, no?

#

Or am I just bad at sub KEKspin

tepid trellis
#

sim number up = good

oak grotto
#

So fuck the stats and listen to the robot

tepid trellis
#

correct

oak grotto
#

But do I need to swap to Tea to balance it out?

tepid trellis
#

sim it

#

if in doubt, sim it out

alpine wraith
#

yea only thing that was big before the super DRs came into play was mastery=m ore aoe

#

but now not even

#

just get bigger number in sim

oak grotto
#

As so is Mastery not as important anymore

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

wrong

warm marlin
#

but prophet, the sim plays the game 100 thousand times hmmge

#

therefore it is infallible

desert bolt
#

I feel like im playing good in this raid, but Im logging so poorly atm xD love it

alpine wraith
#

loggin as sub will be super hard

#

not many people then the ones that have 4p prism etc do a lot more dmg

desert bolt
#

Gothca. How is sub performing in mythics? havent touched wow since s1

lilac stag
tribal blade
lilac stag
tribal blade
#

is this how many ret players there are

desert bolt
tribal blade
#

that is a crazy amount of reactions

#

or fire mages also reacting

lilac stag
#

If we closed this part of the server down no one would notice

alpine wraith
#

we are like 12 people

tribal blade
#

i didn't realize you could hit numbers like that in a class discord

desert bolt
#

thats crazy

sly cove
alpine wraith
#

not really we just know what happens here

#

i expect deathstalker to get buffed

#

twice

#

just to spite us

haughty mural
#

13 people atleast

#

Id rather roll sv than play deathstalker

alpine wraith
#

i want them to nerf it for sub again

#

just in case

haughty mural
dusk stone
#

Rework and fix eviscerate in DS. Hell just make it work with BP then it's fine

humble condor
#

is my damage breakdown okay? i seem to struggle with aoe dps and prolonged ST fights with this class. i am new to it. Any tips / guides you can recommend that would be beneficial to me thanks

dusk stone
#

What content is for this for

humble condor
#

mythic plus

#

ara kara +9

swift tinsel
#

unless your tank was pulling really small thats' low bp damage

dusk stone
#

Are you doing the opener properly and getting 16 gcds in your shadow dances during flag

lilac stag
#

That lock decimated you. Press BP more. Likely holding CDs too long

humble condor
#

he wasnt pulling too small. i was not casting it till like halfway through. cause i was like why tf am i not doing aoe dmg

formal gull
swift tinsel
#

4

formal gull
swift tinsel
#

in and out of blades

humble condor
#

4+ you use black powder?

#

interesting

swift tinsel
#

yep

humble condor
#

okay

swift tinsel
#

you still coup but yeah, bp on 4 targets (or 3 FW debuffs but just stick with 4)

formal gull
#

and in 4+ if i'm under shadow dance i always shadowtrike if i'm not i shuriken right?

swift tinsel
#

yep

humble condor
formal gull
#

ok ty boss!

dusk stone
#

What are you doing after that

#

The guide on wowhead also exists if you're not using it

humble condor
#

shadow strike until 6+ combo then evis

dusk stone
#

What build are you using

humble condor
#

granted i didnt know you're supposed to use BP after 4 targets. so i didnt use that.

#

thistle tea. i had energy issues using the cold blood

#

prolly cause im new at spec

dusk stone
#

No, what build in the sub tree

#

We all take the same talents in rogue tree

humble condor
dusk stone
#

Don't use the bottom right talent and swap to the rotten on bottom left it guarantees FW

#

Which is really important

swift tinsel
#

eh

dusk stone
#

Every symbols = crit builder = FW

humble condor
#

finality? most builds i see have this

swift tinsel
#

kinda with eleem where I'm not 100% sold on needing rotten

#

esp if finality is bugged to buff every bp

dusk stone
#

Finality is a good talent but it's harder to use right and less Intuitive

swift tinsel
#

huh

#

you don't think about it ever

dusk stone
#

You think about FW tho

swift tinsel
#

barely

dusk stone
#

You're also not new

humble condor
#

what is FW? sorry noob lol

dusk stone
#

Find weakness

swift tinsel
#

but you're suggesting a build that that you do have to play around vs one you don't

#

with finality you literally put no thought into it

humble condor
#

granted i have to BP more. should i be taking "deeper Daggers" Evis and Bp increase shadow dmg done by 8%

dusk stone
#

It might also be your uptime

dusk stone
humble condor
#

also kinda noob question. Do i hold symbols to rip with a shadow dance / vise versa? only pop them together?

dusk stone
#

Yes and no

#

Shadow dance gets cdr from combo points spent

humble condor
#

ive been trying to hold them for secret technique too. but i feel like thats counter intuitive cause youll lose dps holding cds

dusk stone
#

So there are instances when you have an extra symbols but no dance

#

Also try and make sure you have 1.6+ dances when you're about to use flag

#

You get 1-2 dances between flag windows, a bit more this patch specifically

humble condor
#

dumb that down. 1.6 of what lol?

dusk stone
#

So you don't need two full dances when you're about to go into your flag window

#

You only need about 1 and then most of the recharge for the 2nd

humble condor
#

oh i get ya. have 1 full and one roughly 20 seconds off

#

either of you Zorn or Haptic available to join up in game quickly?

dusk stone
#

Sorry not atm

#

I can later

humble condor
#

are you US? or EU

dusk stone
#

US

humble condor
#

kk. the guide on wowhead with the opener and continued rotation. is that fairly accurate?

dusk stone
#

Your knowledge seems fine

#

Just need more pulls from how it sounds

#

And use bp more

humble condor
#

im not a dumb player lol. i was almost 3.7k last season with feral. just completely new to rogue / sub

dusk stone
#

Sub is a pain when you're new

humble condor
#

forsure, i appreciate the help none the less

dusk stone
#

I started last season and didn't get it for a month or so

humble condor
#

i also dont have any tier on this guy. so i am not sure if that plays a factor. esp cause its coup de grace

hazy breach
#

New tier is bonkers

humble condor
#

i read somewhere you just rip coup de grace even if you have like 2 combo points

dusk stone
#

Tier is huge increase

hazy breach
#

Since its +5 cp its technically a 6 or higher

solemn lance
#

Is 5 million overall reasonable without any new tier for 8 flood or 8 prio

humble condor
#

would it count for 6 CP on flag too in that case i wonder

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

For cooldown reduction too

warped zodiac
#

do we supercharge the free proc of coup or still only do it for secret tech

humble condor
#

thats pretyy legit

hazy breach
#

Supercharging sectech always

dusk stone
hazy breach
#

30% aint enough to make the second coup worth it

#

(since it doesnt work on shadowed finishers its closer to 30%, not 50%)

solemn lance
dusk stone
#

Yeah it's really good

humble condor
#

i'll get there. just need the practice lmao

dusk stone
#

I kinda sandbagged for my parse had a sandbag lock as well in the group and still got that 6.7 so

humble condor
#

do you fan of knives with 3+?

hazy breach
#

You always strike, you'd shuriken storm over backstab at 3+ or more

humble condor
#

right, okay

left ledge
#

you need a lot more bps

#

for prolonged ST you just need to master the fundamentals of sub rogue's cooldown management

#

all your damage is in your cooldown windows

#

so if you cant squeeze out all your juice in those 20 seconds

#

you're kinda cooked

#

get used to your downtime rotation

#

make sure each dance is putting out the most possible damage, make sure you dont waste UB procs, make sure your sectec is always buffed

#

outside of dances you're kinda just sitting there spreading ruptures and maybe throwing out bps, you just need to get used to the spec's tight windows

bright sundial
#

for aoe do we storm once or twice to spread fw then spam ss?

dusk stone
#

Depends

#

If you're using the rotten you only need 1

jade urchin
#

do we just send netherprism in with shadowblades in macro always?

#

these damage amps are all bit cringe lasting like 5 seconds

alpine wraith
#

!gear

tight sparrow
#

is there any bug or anything ?

#

im gapping everyone in keys

hidden basin
#

how good is sub in raid and m+?

tight sparrow
#

using double on use

#

lilly + prism

potent relic
#

!up

alpine wraith
#

i mean having prism puts you in top percentile

#

same as having 4p

#

most of us are 0p with welfare on use HoC

#

or at most lilly/pvp trink

tight sparrow
#

1st cds sending lilly till stacking prism

#

and rotate

alpine wraith
#

yea kinda

remote eagle
#

robot says double on use is worse for me

#

got lily and normal prism

alpine wraith
#

on m+ it is quite better because of how dmg on pulls work

#

on st you need the special APL

#

so it does not mess up prism

dusk stone
#

Wait is shadowdust back

#

That resembles a spreadsheet

alpine wraith
#

no you just press trinket 1 or trinket 2

#

i mean it is my sheet just a part of it

remote eagle
#

but yea prism seems busted when you stack it

#

might test lily with it

alpine wraith
#

i would not use lilly becasue you kinda miss 1 use

hazy breach
#

You can also just not use prism for one blades and it will be doubled the next time

alpine wraith
#

a passive would be better most of the time

#

that

remote eagle
#

for sure, just no luck with pacemaker yet

hazy breach
#

And ye sub is really good in keys

alpine wraith
#

sub with gear manages to do strong enough burst

hazy breach
#

Just overshadowed by assa being an absolute menace gapping literally every spec by 15%

alpine wraith
#

that the wang weak times are not as bad

#

yea that is funny

#

bad st?

#

pull shit onto boss

remote eagle
#

yea felt good doing 4 mil more than random boomkin andy

alpine wraith
#

only downbreaker and few others sub is kinda big vs assa

remote eagle
#

xD

alpine wraith
#

and even then

remote eagle
#

i'd say streets is sub key too

#

but idk, i dont touch assa

alpine wraith
#

oh streets yea

#

if only halls and priory didnt have all those huge pulls

#

where assa can gap sub hard

#

they have some bosses only arenas

Dunno

#

One of us got like 40mil trash pull a day or two ago if we can consistently do that

remote eagle
#

easy with some good gear

dusk stone
#

Has anyone tested DS sub in keys at all

remote shuttle
#

lul seems 5% not enough for retri

#

so glad that we never lose hope

remote eagle
#

if we closed the channel we'd get deathstalker buffs

remote shuttle
#

XD

#

BP +33%

dusk stone
#

I'm fine with that

#

Close the channel and give me DS sub

remote shuttle
#

man... i played sub when was really down but still tried to keep up

remote eagle
#

nah i have enough ds bullshit while playing pvp

dusk stone
#

It's day 4 of rtwf, when is liquid gonna pull the raid? When echo kills dimensius

ye and thankfully we always have people here to help, no matter bad or good times, and that's good

hmm no more rogues in ID comp

#

just for boss with dagger

wind sage
#

is it trolling to play sub for prog

solemn sonnet
#

No

humble condor
#

@dusk stone @swift tinsel this better? dmg was still low ovr but i was getting those BP's out much more

dusk stone
#

Something else is wrong

#

Priory should be 4.5+ with 693

#

Do you have any tier

humble condor
#

i can get 2 set rn

dusk stone
#

Do you have last seasons tier

humble condor
#

no sir

dusk stone
#

I think you should log a key and link it either in dm or here so we can see what's going on

#

That's a pretty based comp for sub

#

A Sim would help too, right now we just don't have enough Info

#

3mil is low even for last season

humble condor
#

i can attempt a sim

#

when simmim for whole dungeon. you do dungeon slice? or 5 targets for 5 min?

dusk stone
#

No just 5 min patchwerk

humble condor
#

5 target or 1?

dusk stone
#

1 target just to get a baseline

humble condor
#

kk i did it without lust and flask & food on. no other buffs though

dusk stone
#

Post the link here if you would

#

So we can see details

dusk stone
#

Stat distribution seems fine, your haste trinket is useless the rest is fine

remote rapids
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
humble condor
#

yeah its pretty odd

#

it honestly must be just bad synergy between my cd's i cant think of anything else it could be

dusk stone
#

How in the world do you have a 2mil sim

humble condor
#

lol

#

fuckin beats me lol

dusk stone
#

Did you have skyfury, battleshout and etc raid buffs on?

humble condor
#

no

#

took all those off

dusk stone
#

Oh, put on the raid buffs you'd have in a comp minus bloodlust

#

So skyfury, battle shout, mystic touch and mark of the wild

alpine wraith
#

get the pvp trink or lilly

#

you have no on use for some reason

dusk stone
#

It's a new toon I think

#

My gear is trash and I'm at 3.7 sim

#

Yeah there we go it looks more sane now

#

Tier was like 500k for me and prob a mil overall if no 2p as well

#

Get tier ASAP if you can to start, get a new on use trinket and avoid haste, it has half the value of other stats

humble condor
#

roger that

#

i have +8 Eco imma run rn for lily

dusk stone
#

So for m+

#

When the tank is gathering are you spreading rupture while you wait or how's that go

humble condor
#

should i be?

dusk stone
#

So unlike other classes we have tricks of the trade, it allows you to give all of your threat to the tank

humble condor
#

cause i havent, i just tend to slow dps and just build CP before i "burst"

#

when i get that on use trink. i assume macro into shadow blades?

dusk stone
#

Essentially as soon as the tank has tagged a mob You can use storm and spread rupture to all mobs the the tank is pulling

#

Yes to the trinket

#

When he's done gathering hit your stuff and go to town, rupture gets ALL of your damage amps and you're spreading it two dots at a time

humble condor
#

ah so i should take talent that lets me spread it to 2 targets lol

#

but that sounds reasonable. to spread dots as the tank grabs aggro of everything

dusk stone
#

I think you showed me that you had it in your tree

humble condor
#

i did not

#

i do now

dusk stone
#

I sent you a video from a sub rogue in floodgate, it may help

dusk stone
swift tinsel
#

no tier set, no on-use

#

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up. This is to build up Shadow Techniques for your cooldowns.
  • 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.

just a heads for the the wowhead guide creator 🙂

im assuming its meant to be "use the below"

ok sure but the point was that you're not dropping pala because its slightly worse than rogue buff

good morning chat, how was the patch for you so far

actual optional optional raidbuff

keen dome

I'm excited to get the 4p, it seems extremely fun.

sour sun

how gimped am i by my 20% haste I wonder

jagged rover
#

only took 11 hours of M+ today, finally got pants to drop. 4pc time and more sub keys

Hell yeah

short radish
#

!loot

bleak night
#

i got 4p today too, looking forward to some double couping

keen dome
#

I need to kill Soulbinder today on heroic (Which, well, he's a trash mob of a boss lmao) and if I get tier, I get 4p

#

if I don't get tier, uh...... I guess it's Soul hunters.

warm marlin

Best way to be, play it all. Master it all.

jagged rover
#

ngl, fatebound is so chill and just does a stupid amount of damage

bleak night
#

soon you will ascend to salmon

jagged rover
#

though I have no crit for it right now lol

warm marlin
#

lukewarm take im sure but why is ds the aoe tree and fatebound the st one

#

mark is not annoying at all in st and marking one opponent to take down makes way more sense as a st tree

bleak night
jagged rover
#

its technically the funnel tree

tbh for liquid, its mostly about getting gear to certain characters on early bosses, not the best damage comp

bleak night
vale pine
#

i don't have it yet

warm marlin
#

its ok tho melee pops off on the burst cleave bosses so its still fine

wait

#

thats ranged too

#

and then they add spread cleave

dusk stone
#

i equipped haste to get my 4pc, i feel dirty

bleak night
dusk stone
#

went from about 5.3? in FG to almost about 6.5 after on a mid run its a very strong set and it feels super good with room to optimize

short radish

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

subtleties "no parry" would probably have kept rogue palyed

#

too bad blizz did not want to see sub played ^^

short radish
#

devs aren't beating the allgeations of being spawncamped by a rogue in vanilla and still holding a grudge

#

like how the fuck fire mage gets a random 4% buff

vale pine
#

i think its simply a information problem

warm marlin
#

i mean its well known mage receives preferential treatment

vale pine
#

there is a lack of tooling to be able to meaningfully balance things

#

and they lack devs to iterate over classes and specs in need for more updates

#

which leads to what we see a lot this xpac

#

to just "wing it"

#

some classes/specs are the clear winners of this approach

short radish
#

i dunno they still have enough data to see the massive skew at the bottom

vale pine
#

others can eat dirt so to say

hollow spear
#

I don't know if it's the lack of information and updates

#

It's numbers right now

short radish
#

like at this point it has to be intentional

#

when everyone and their monkey can see clear winners and losers

rocky ocean
hollow spear
#

Ranged has intrinsic advantages in some situations which you cannot change by updating melee

vale pine
#

but also no

hollow spear
#

And ranged has better numbers right now

#

It's not that deep

rocky ocean
vale pine
#

if you compare classes or specs you often see big diffrences in how well developed their trees are

#

a lot of DF trees are still in need of a lot of work, and some specs need updates to be able to compete in certain content types

hollow spear
#

I don't think you can extrapolate from sub to other melee

#

It's just that nobody cares for sub

vale pine
#

XD

#

thats like saying

hollow spear
#

And warrior, apparently kekdog

short radish
#

yeah but warriors bring a useful buff at least

vale pine
#

you can't complain about car manufacturing

hollow spear
#

True

vale pine
#

if you can't drive a ferrari

#

because who cares about a vw or a audi

#

nobody cares about them

hollow spear
#

I say you can complain about sub rogue and don't have to make it about all melee

vale pine
#

its not even all melees

hollow spear
#

And right now it's most melee

vale pine
#

its like many classes

short radish
#

nah

#

DKs are eating well

vale pine
#

like warrior

short radish
#

enhance are also above average usually

vale pine
#

a lot of their nodes in the tree are boring asf

#

dk did recive a lot of updates

#

so ye

short radish
#

ww/feral gets forgotten a lot though

#

as bad as sub has been

vale pine
#

checks out, they are good because they got updates

short radish
#

feral was kinda forgotten for like 5 expansions

hollow spear
#

I don't know

#

We are whining about updates rn

#

I don't need updates to trickster sub

short radish
vale pine
#

think of it this way

hollow spear
#

I need 8% more single target

#

And that's it

short radish
#

thing is though

hollow spear
#

I like how we play

short radish
#

our gameplay is fine

vale pine
#

assassiantion was as good in m+ as subtlety was

short radish
#

we just lack tuning

vale pine
#

but was not played

short radish
#

and they dont want to turn those knobs

warm marlin
#

15% to eviscerate

vale pine
#

10.2 did focus all effort on updating the spec to be rly good in m+

#

ever since 10.2

warm marlin
#

black powder 📉

vale pine
#

all we play in m+ is asssassiantion

hollow spear
#

I think you're just over complicating things fuu

#

It's not so deep

vale pine
#

so, if dev time is spend on a spec to iterate over it

#

you see issues fixed

hollow spear
#

And what is our issue rn?

#

We suck at st

#

That's it

rocky ocean
#

Nah fuu is focusing on the real stuff

vale pine
#

our issue?

#

we have a lot of dead nodes in the tree

limpid sage
#

Our issue is that we don’t whine enough

vale pine
#

we haven't had our aoe fixed

short radish
vale pine
#

our entire design is overly punishing and complicated

hollow spear
#

I hate this notion that whining in discord will change things

#

It doesn't

limpid sage
#

Shut down sub rogue discord till they buff us!!1!11!!1

short radish
#

it doesnt

vale pine
#

aoe feels terrible not only because of tuning but also energy

#

sure

hollow spear
#

Idc about all that tbh

#

Spec feels good rn

vale pine
#

you can always fix something by massively buffing things

hollow spear
#

Give st and I'm good

dusk stone
#

like what is with PV as a talent, noone in their right mind would take that atm

#

dead node

rocky ocean
#

so prob not gonna happen

vale pine
#

but its not wrong

sharp zephyr
#

!wa

dusk stone
#

its a late talent too, why is it garbage

vale pine
#

tuning is the baseline

short radish
#

tbh our 5% buff we got at the end of ptr felt like a

Oh shit we haven't even looked at sub rogue at all. Let's buff them by 5% just to be safe so they aren't absolutely dogwater

vale pine
#

everything else would just to make the spec better and qol

short radish
#

which we still kinda are

#

like we'd need a 10% just to be middle of the pack

dusk stone
#

we are in raid now about 1.5 months before season 3 started where we were

#

a few buffs and we will be below aug again

short radish
#

being below aug and also having them steal our damage

#

is the ultimate fuck you

limpid sage
hollow spear
#

This is the point of a patch where nothing will get done besides easy tuning, not saying that dev attention could be better during ptr etc. So we need more single target rn and that's what I'm advocating for.

dusk stone
#

You could prob get away with ST. Not like we're using evis much and our boss damage is a bit low

hollow spear
#

Wdym get away with St?

#

Did you look at fractillus?

dusk stone
#

it wont have drastic adverse effects in m+

lilac stag
#

here’s your BP buff. now go away. they don’t give a shit about sub as a spec. should be obvious at this point.

dusk stone
#

sub can't just become the best spec in m+

hollow spear
#

It won't

#

It doesn't funnel

dusk stone
#

we are currently beating sin rogues on FG is how good the tier set is

#

if we make boss damage like 10% better

#

it will be too much maybe

rocky ocean
hollow spear
#

We're beating sin if the group doesn't play around sin

dusk stone
#

this is with funnel accounted for

hollow spear
#

The second a mega develops that includes sin we won't

dusk stone
#

its been speculated to be a maybe sin maybe sub key since ptr

hollow spear
#

Good groups will pull around sin

#

And you'll never beat that on sub

dusk stone
#

we aren't in an awful place for m+ but we can't just receive drastic stuff or we're broken

short radish
dusk stone
#

we are including that obviously

lilac stag
short radish
#

like first pull

#

i spread my ruptures

#

i press CT

vale pine
#

we don't beat sin

short radish
#

and then all the rupture mobs are already dead

vale pine
#

unless you do low keys

tepid trellis
#

floodgate

vale pine
#

where stuff dies fast

hollow spear
#

I don't know what to tell you Zorn, but that's categorically not true

vale pine
#

once we move to higher keys

dusk stone
vale pine
#

subtlety falls off quickly because the sustained damgae is low

rocky ocean
vale pine
#

also sin does absurd prio damage

tepid trellis
#

regular dances do quite a lot now

vale pine
#

we probably would just need a evis buff and secret to 8 instead of 5 soft cap

hollow spear
#

I'm quite happy with how sub plays and performs in m+. I just refute that it competes with sin, and fg is no exception.

lethal breach
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
dusk stone
#

its just been rampant speculation thus far that we'd MAYBE have fg as a sub key

lilac stag
#

it’s cope is what it is

hollow spear
#

It's a good sub key

#

And sin will probably get nerfed

lilac stag
#

Dawnbreaker is yummie

tepid trellis
#

since did get a caustic "nerf"

vale pine
#

they got hotfix nerfed already kinda

tepid trellis
#

last night

vale pine
#

^

hollow spear
#

Huh

tepid trellis
#

caustic ws double dipping

vale pine
#

but to be fair

tepid trellis
#

with specc aura

vale pine
#

lets compare in a key thats less favorable to sub

lilac stag
#

Akara

dusk stone
#

8.5 to 10.002 is like a bit under 20%

#

not insignificant

tepid trellis
#

give sub back combo

#

and you will see it in some keys

dusk stone
#

give shadowdust back

lilac stag
#

Sorry. Assa is now priority spec. Best we can offer is 6% BP buff.

hollow spear
tepid trellis
#

nah

hollow spear
#

Missed that completely and there's no pin in sin discord

tepid trellis
#

blizzard didn't even wanna tells us they did it

#

just got caught when it hit the servers

dusk stone
#

how much of a nerf is it

vale pine
lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

it went from 48% replicated dmg down to the intended 40%

steel zinc
#

so take your last assa dmg breakdown and remove 17% of caustic damage

#

keep in mind depending on the build this isnt that big of a nerf. Like bleed build it isnt that bad. Raid cleave build its a much bigger hit.

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hollow spear
#

Maybe that evens it out on 3rd boss

steel zinc
#

you mean the spider?

#

or 2nd boss?

#

talking rwf order

hollow spear
#

In my mind spider is 2nd

#

But I meant the cleave boss

bleak night
#

its definitely a not insignificant nerf to assa for soulbinder yeah

dusk stone
#

did sin even need it

#

wcl shows that

#

but go watch liquids comp

#

sin is not even in top 50% of dps

bleak night
#

well i think their kill was after it was fixed

tepid trellis
#

they might have just prio'd people that needs items from the boss ngl

#

it was a joke of a boss

bleak night
#

yeah

#

plexus gave them a harder time lmao

Ryldd would have lost 450k dps, which is like 6-7%

Hey, so this is my first expansion, and the prev two tiers melee and ranged balance looked ok, but its not looking too good for melees in general this tier. Whats the rest of tier going to be like if rwf balance is heavily ranged favored? There will still be demand for rogues and melee after rwf is over right?

mint swift
tepid trellis
#

no feels needed, it just is better

mint swift
#

Yea

dusk stone
#

we were just that garbage for 2 patches in a row is why us being ok feels like it deserves a nerf

#

imagine if subs gonna get buffed because of raid dps rankings

#

we gonna be s++ in keys

#

xd

dusk stone
#

i dont see sub changes coming for raid tbh

#

what they gonna buff, ST?

tepid trellis
#

you just buff evis

fleet wharf
#

What knobs can they turn to buff our st?

tepid trellis
#

not like we press that on AoE anyways

dusk stone
#

i guess that works

#

but dont you have to buff it so much we become broken for boss damage

short radish
#

would have to be big buffs

#

to be broken for boss dam

dusk stone
#

how much %age our evic do in raid

tepid trellis
dusk stone
#

so like 40% if you count coup

#

that has to translate to like 8% aura buff for us to be middle of the pack atm no?

tepid trellis
#

not actually sure what the spell data is on coup

#

pretty sure it is its own spell

#

eleem prolly knows

dusk stone
#

i mean then you just have to buff it even more though right

#

like in principle i agree we but dont ST sim worth anything is the problem

tepid trellis
#

if you buff sub by 10%

#

it has the same single target sim

#

as assa
