thats why its 6
and not 8
we are doing loomi and up
cuz our trinket
luck
is dog
think we have seen 4-5 of them
Prism antenna is the life for me
Is there a spammable symbols macro, not to waste charges?
How troll do you think it is to skip the 130 flag on nexus btw
im yet to see prism or antenna drop
Missing the first 10-15s of damage amp feels turbo bad
i natty won netherprism on normal
I’m wondering if saccing it and just doing pull 2:50 on adds 4:20 dmg amp is good enough value
and then you prism with a random double dance
where’s my autumn man

@tepid trellis do you happen to know which talents are usedon Araz for sub? tried checking WCL but its pretty bricked.
get pala cdr
Hi guys, quick question, i see in AoE after a coup proc, we shuriken storm then second coup, why don't we SS ?
No hpal 
No idea who got autumn on rwf
rwf guys just playing single target talents
Seems so good to put it on sub
they sent it on 2min classes
Single target with weaponmaster
so they can do platform + dmg amp
Tfd bad there
Im using macro for Dance with Symbols? Should i seperate those? And why?
I will test 2:50 adds with prism and 4:20 dmg amp next split clear
I think it has potential
but if you are on point with cd usage
you still get 3x dance on the amp
on mythic atleast
so u dont even actually need the pala cdr
it just makes it more chill
The timers looked similar but I’m getting gapped on dragon dmg when I really shouldn’t be
Pretty sure I got triple dance
!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.
yeah
thats ours
its the same number of binds as having them separate
is there a world where i want to CB anything else than ST?
nah
kk tyty
We had like 3 over 700 I think
I cant remember anymore
I didn’t have prism yet though
didn’t help
Noob didn’t log himself
casually stealing 2.7mil dps
akaari nearly beat the ww thats rough
I lied but our 696 hunter would have beat you
Very curious spec that is
ideally you wanna have 18 prism stacks for the burn
but i saved it for the platform cuz 
we didn't have a full 30 man, but I topped dragon damage this week as sin. I need to do it as sub again this next week and see how my damage is
I have my doubts that I’m seeing a forge before dimmy dies
just a 121m kingsbane on the burn
though sub gaps everyone on the platform. Mages beat me this week, need to put them back in place now that I have sub 4pc
Here's my personal feedback on rogue in TWW; I hope you guys will begin a discussion about this and blizzard uses our sentiments to inform their choices for rogue in midnight. https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/rogues-in-tww-engineered-frustration/585745 I go over all specs in varying detail.
This post aims to discuss the various frustrations of rogue design throughout The War Within. Tl;dr: Why does this class have so much intentionally designed frustration?

What is the top blue dance bar for LE's? Making sure my loaded right/functioning correctly.
using storm during dance to proc find weakness in aoe during dance = cringe? (assuming the rotten buff)
@warm marlin
First dance talent
I like this post a lot! I’m pretty new and pretty mid but you’ve reflected a lot of my thoughts. It seems like there’s this common feature in rogue design where we’re punished for making mistakes instead of being rewarded for playing well.
It tells you if u have first dance up for more uptime on the first shadow dance after entering combat, and it starts recharging after you leave combat, so with this wa blue bar you can optimize wait a little bit before entering in combat again @high eagle
thanks for the feedback, comment on blizz forums to generate traffic so they hopefully see it - of the three specs Ive played the least subtlety so this channel's commentary would be by far the most helpful
I really only play subtlety and at a pretty mid level so I’d be happy to comment. This spec is super fun and easily my favorite thing I’ve played in this game but boy is it very unintuitive.
Ah, I see. I like that. Thanks!
I was using atrocity's WA package but, LE's is easier to track. For me anyways.

I press it as soon as I res
Yeah, I usually do. If it's off a wipe then I do it as soon as I get off the floor
Did this spec get buffed this week or just better players and tier sets?
you have a wa for it?
If it's a fresh pull, sectech on trash then shuriken storm the whole rest of the time, hit sod sometime after you secteched.
No weakaura
We get like +30% damage from 4 piece
30% wtf
But realistically it's minmaxxy cheese that contributes about 1% on 5 minute fight. Combined from the 2 supercharge, and the disorienting strikes. It does make it far more likely to get a coup in the first blades window
delicious is what you call 4p
Yeah, Fuu's got a spreadsheet for the sims. I don't remember the chat command but https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRq3Nn1ZvFwaXf1wQTr1RalpWbJTIhQp5xGwEyDTVWyuBWLP9_2rqqsxJSPQJLJAkIiKHy49pVfqEWu/pubhtml
It isn't a 30% increase over last season 4 set to be clear
4p to 4p is only about 13%
it should be like 11.5 to 28.5
does being in a very laggy 30 man raid affect how energy regen works?
im legit out of energy in opener on dimensius randomly lol
never happened before
so i guess i need to remember and do it 😄
Yep I lied the tier bonus is more like 20%
!wa
i could swear somebody linked a wa for the prepullsod 😄
We love spymasters trinkets
Although I wish Lilly was buffed a crazy amount so we can just macro and forget
I have one if you click the Find Weakeness one from the list there and go to my profile
I really like Harvester’s Edict for some reason it’s super fun
dont think i can look back at old 4p
Might need to scroll down a bit
but i am fairly sure it was like 10.5 or something
ty
Np np
because 4p to 4p it was like 17% flat aura buff
Wow is it me or is sub rogue pretty strong now in dmg and aoe?
It’s nice being in the top half of specs instead of the bottom half
The sim I linked genuinely doesn't take stats into account, pure apples to apples assuming same stats from gear. The bonus from the actual 4p set is about 13%, you will definitely reap higher gains when including the ilvl jump with better gear.
strange bug: iam hitting a dummy but my backstab shows iam not in range (the red number).
fuu's spreadsheet was accounting for new ilvl?
that doesnt seem right, we are way too strong with it
so i need some clarity,
In ideal situations you just have sec tec ready for blades window.
(i dont know the timing) but say you are 30s away from that window, and you have 1 charge of dance with the other on a 40s cd. and sec tec is ready to use.
is this the situation where you send a symbols buffed sectec with no dance. or is there times where you would hold sectec. further to this, i would assume we hold flag / blades till we have the 2 dance + sectec ready
It's actually old ilvl, it sims the new 4p effect while still wearing 684 spectral gamblers items
Ain’t no way
as long as you have sectec <9 seconds and an extra or will overcap on symbols, send it
worst you have to do is hold cd's a little bit
kk, so hold cd's over sectec, and make sure there are 2 dances for cd's
depends the actual rule is like 1.7 to 2 dances per raid fight encounter and 1.5 or so for keys
35s on flag for raid and like 22s~ for keys
yeah yeah, i dont mean 2 banked, but having the second one ready 12s after first
thats the typical rule
sometimes its better to have full 2 charges
if you are gonna 18 stack trinket use 3 dances
whats with the enchants this patch i havent changed mine
seems were going for stats?
im only touching heroic, so unlikely to have use for 3 min cd's
On the weapons? Yeah
I've seen double vers enchants pop up in sim a lot, but I think it's bugged. Surely another 8% uptime on the vers proc is not better than another 20% you could be getting on a crit or mast enchant
cool, i will not be swapping between raid and m+ enchants this patch then
wdym
stoundbound is just copy of the vers one 1:1 no?
so just to check on this, that means when flag cd is below 35s, you send a sectec without dance. and then wait for sec tec to flag window
3910 for 12 seconds on both
Stonebound is the vers one?
stonebound is mastery
not sure why were using mastery enchant for ST last i looked at stat weights mastery was really diminished
!wa
Having 2 enchants just doubles the amount of stat the proc gives
No
Each individual spell id has an icd.
Using a second enchant will not double uptime on the buff, only increase it by about 8%
Why does my BP do piss damage?
Use finality in aoe
It's bugged and makes bp do a fair amount more damage than listed in the talent. It amps every mirrored 30% for find weakness
so shuriken into BP in aoe after pressing sec tec?
were putting two rings of Enchant Ring - Radiant Versatility on?
You press storm once or twice for fw
Then strike into bp
That's more gear dependent, like I said crit is being prio'd pretty heavily right now in even st sims'
the finality build isnt like a massive dps increase
ooooohhh! will try it out. thank you!
0.1% i think
and you can feel the not having FW thing
for rings its 1 cursed 1 radiant right
hello is sub hard to learn?
sub hard to learn easier to master
I see, because I wanted to learn it for raid as I dont really like fatebound assa in fights like nexus king or dimensius but ive literally only played assa since i started playing
I think that’s what he was saying lol
you could do it in under a week yeah
its bis for forgeweaver too
"2 enchants just doubles the amount of stat the proc gives" He said it doubles the stat value, the buff does not stack
I guess yea but I tried sub like once on dummies and the amount of effort was overwhelming a bit I think
its hard to learn and easier to master, once you get it, it clicks
Look at how to do the opener
should I spam keys as sub or just hit dummies to get the grip
then you do that exact sequence
every 90s
Everytime
And thats like 85%+ of playing sub
idk
as a newer sub player its harder for me to conceptualize moving cd's around in raid
but yeah opener is 85% of the spec and other 15% is the rules you have to learn i would say
!wa
Real
It's not rocket science
Usually when using 2 of the same enchants it does increase the amount or am I trippin
Thankfully
Do you guys ever get where your shadow blades trinket macro doesnt yse the trinket? Been annoying lately
i had a macro bug yesterday where it refused to use blades
why am i not regening energy here? am i missing something?
but only on bosses, it worked on trash
looks like you werent auto attacking him due to facing the way you did (just looking at your ShT stacks not moving)
im learning only now i need to auto attack to regen energy

yeah i guess hitbox is weird
the animation of auto attacks can still happen even if you arent properly facing them
old ass game
and dimensius hitbox is a load of bs
i lost like half of my pulls my opener
cus i didnt have energy for shadowstrike eviscerate
i thought its some lag shenaningangs
is anyone else having targetting issues in eco dome
it just seems randomly in there targets are not in range
@hazy breach not bad for first try at soulbinder
hey why do we bp at 3+ target instead of eviscerate + nimble flurry ? when i compare both rotation i feel like i deal more with evi
thx
i see

!mistakes
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
nicuuuu, we deepesing
the hc araz was a bit funny too
8m dps nice nice
do you guys not have evoker?
!prepull
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
Whats the current max renown for the raid buff?
We killed before the big set at the end so didnt get to ultra pad 
But it was some real good padding anyway
Guys if i want to craft a dagger to play assa & sub what's the best stats to take?
anything except haste really
this is only part of the rotation if we have it talented right?
fight start on Fractalus and i got lag for 30+ seconds and by the time i got back controll on my char it was 30% on normal
nice job by the dev team, great raid xD
Shurikan storm is baseline not a talent
!coup explains it, #2 and the explenation part
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.
tyty
rate my araz note
Its literally obvious lol
U hold until the purple puddle spawns
CD on CD afterwards
Hold for burn
then CD on cd
wdym by cd on cd, haven't heard that before tbh
Use your cooldowns on cooldown
gotcha, took me a second
i always tend to struggle with sub spec among the 3 doing what i can to figure it out for tonight
anyone got a reminder WA for the cold blood bug cos these shit devs are pissing me off now

hey guys should we play double daggers or can i have 1dagger and 1 mace ?
ty
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
If Im over 4 targets using BP, I suppose I need to use coup of grace right when I have it right?

here we goooo
Yep you still coup in aoe
maaan, 15 runed short of pushing my gloves to 704, and haven't been able to get gloves to drop from halls or streets while spamming them
on damage amps, like forgeweaver, do we want flag to do the direct damage or the mastery for the amp?
You care about the mastery, flag damage itself is low
guys i dont understand when should we shuriken storm and black powder
shuriken storm on 3+ target without flawless form
but we are always in flawless form
so when should we cast ss ?
just shuriken storm in aoe outside of dance
on how many targets ?
Bp on 4+ targets
Bp got buffed so 4+ now
oh okay thanks
shuriken storm in 3 targets outside of dance
not worth thinking about harder as youll just cost yourself dps trying to overthink it
okay thanks guys
does our gcd change with haste? like does haste actually have no benefit at all on us?
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
!wa
yo, any sub gamers in here who got to progress Soul Hunters on mythic already?
I know I keep getting wrapped around the axel for when to BP in blades, I will just test it when I finally get a freaking chance to play.
Am I to take it @vale pine article needs to be updated then?
Yes its 4 or more
I hate it maybe that’s why I don’t wanna believe
Hi , do you guys spread rupture on aoe before u do the opener ? or do u just full send
or it depends on target count
Situational depending on how long it takes tank gather pull
Good thing is to spread rupture outside your cd’s on targets with the highest health
so i can replace the first rupture with evis on aoe opener to get Slice ?
you tricks the tank and spread rupture until gather is done
then you pop 18 netherprism and ascend to godhood
(and you find out netherprism didn't work because macros are broken)
So you gather 180 sec long ? 
macros on sub aren’t recommended. Don’t have issues when they break. 
I can't understand how to counteract late cp refund after CDG?

Just have your trinket separate
this normal?
Sectec looks low
BP is low
or just don't use use in game macro tbh
logitech way better and i almost want to ahk this garbo in game feature
i was the obly prio so was doing evis on big momma and other stuff so
get yourself banned. 
@hazy breach if we always BP at 4 what do you make of the highest parse on FG being so weighted on nimble flurry?
Wdym
so does this trinket just suck
auto hotkey custom macro program
1 proc on 2:40 fight
TOS says no external programs. You can remap keys. Can’t macro them.
If you look at his damage break down it’s very heavily weighed towards nimble flurry
Vs BP as one would expect if we are always BPing at 4
I see other worse parses more heavily weighted with BP
Big momma and duo boss are probably going to weight it more than normal
Yea but whole dungeon?
also it’s week 2 not everyone going to play it how discord says is correct
Or he’s just an eviscerate enjoyer 
no one played this spec for an entire season in keys
For sure but that outlier is the top parse is evis-ing which at the very least is anecdotally interesting
Well he is eviscerating priority mobs
And also nimble does more than BP anyway because coup, strikes and unseen blades
And also happens to do the most damage? Not arguing, I just think it’s interesting.
On the overall
Really? That’s not what I see when looking at other too parses
I see heavy weighted on BP
oh, i probably forgot to update that part of the guide, will do tomorrow
thanks for letting me know
but yeah speaking of broken macros, what is going on, i had very simple /shadow blades /tempered potion /prism /cb and it just refused to use it in raid last night
it worked on the trash fine
but on boss pull no

Probably a commonly asked question, but if you play Ritual Forge as sub, do you delay cds to play every 2 min or do you play on cd still
better?
Why does ur nimble flurry does 0
it's a 15 minute boost run on a +10 XD
Oh
If you are not running prism you treat it as a 3min trinket
bind it on sectec and hope for the best
even in halls which is pretty BP heavy my flurry is way ahead. THink I've had like one or two dungeons this season where BP was ahead, maybe
how tf do sub rogues reach 8m on forgereaver?
at no point in the burst phase did details showed anything higher than 4,5m or so
I mean without looking at logs is impossible to say. Maybe your gear isn't as good, didn't have a full prism stack, etc., lots of reasons
If u want to figure out what ur doing wrong u need to compare logs urself or post it asking for feedback
this was my forgeweaver this week, but I have 4 ilvls since then and a better prism, antenna, etc
no i'm not really asking for advice. just how tf they put those insane numbers lmao
By abusing the damage amp and adds
if you look at just the damage amp, we're one of the best classes, and then add damage I'm top by far. its all just playing the spec to its strengths in the fight
Are you 705+ ilvl with 720+ weapon in main hand and doing mythic forge?

delay first cds match with ads spawn
I am very triggered. Why do I get late cp refunds after coup sometimes? Is it internet issue or what’s happening?
Nop thats just how it is, every hit of coup can refund if you are at 7 cp
oh that bugs still in the game? xd
Yeah, that's shit
Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:
- Relogging.
Forge first flag
Prism second
Forge third
Prism 4th
so i can make macro wich use forge first when ready
cos it will be ready only when suppose to
or im trippin
Yesnt, if you end up holding your cds for a bit you could end up using forge instead of a 18 stacked prism
With a macro like that
prob not worth using double on use with lily instead of forge right
Not really no
So I must track shadow tech also to not miss refunds. It’s basically waiting for me to be at 7shadow tech stacks while striking if I couped under 7. Correct? Or it’s just random refund whenever?
is this some custom apl thing because pacemaker smokes my lily as double on use
if that's from sigil that's definitely broken because it was proccing all the time on ptr
if im playing with tfd and a second sectec comes up at the end of my first dance, do i send it with symbols and cb?
its break even lily with pace
then just make sure i press second dance before the clones hit?
lame
!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.
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
was there some change to sims between yday and today? double on use shot up a ton for me
apl might have been updated to support it
is double on use good in keys too
the 2nd macro, is that assuming u only have one of those trinkets equipped
Im a bit lost on sub in m+, your main aoe with dance up is ss -> bp?

if target is fazed yeah
soulbinder is a peak sub fight
oh do we never coup outside of dance
is there any reason why my cold blood sec tec macro doesnt actually use my cold blood? With the changes does it need to be pressed manually?
whats the aoe rota?
lol thank you
id say araz is better
it is for sure
I do if i proc it like 30 secs before cds, im not going to use shadow dance bc i might have to delay cds if i do, and im not going to sit there with a coup for 30 seconds
i kill tonight 
guys how are we using Prism and Lilly together?
why would u do that to yourself
lily just sucks together with prism, like just get a passive trinket together with prism at that point
only pair prism with forge or pvp trink using another 1:30 makes no sense
What is our rotation in Cleave?
yea get crystal or antenna or pacemaker
better said in aoe
mostly using strike and finishers depending on target count
ty ty
try to use sec tech as it is available in dance
when i watch the streamers, why it is important for them to see unseen blade?
but you send sectec always first no?
how do you react on coup?
i may have missed something
Do i Black Powder or do i Eviscerate in aoe? xD
bp if 4 or more targets
up to 4 targets evis?
yes
when i go for shuriken storm?
outside dance or in between coups with blades up
4 times shadowstrike or Backstab -> Coup?
unseen blade, which procs from shadowstrike or backstab
4 unseen blade procs = coup
Every 5 seconds but can be reset from talent
and they have a chance to proc on backstab and shadowstrike
20 seconds
Oh then it gets reset super frequently
yo stealthi, if im going into Blades with a coup ready, would i just send: SS > SecTec > SS > Coup? and just munch a proc of unseenblades?
do i go Flagellation and shadowblades together ?
those 3 is what interacts with it
Ahhh ok
build to full sectech-backstab-coup-storm-coup
Wouldn't you not backstab
or if you are afk the 10 sec before you can prolly skip the backstab
if you proc shadowcraft
im trying to learn sub in m+ and its making me feel so stupid 
do i go Flagellation and shadowblades together ? °
Or what i THE Opener Rotation? 😄
or if you know the first coup will proc Shadowcraft you can swap the backstab with storm
okay thats what i thought just wanted to see how bad it was to munch the UB proc from sectec
can you shadowstep the breaks on frac or does it fuck the wallbreak?
im i dumb or if my coup procs shadowcraft dont i just hit coup again?
Yeah
yes you would hit it again
ah ok read it wrong
stealthi can you upload your kill pov's from this tier again so i can steal your timings 
ye im prob only playing sub on araz + saladbar and maybe dimi
what yall crafting this week? lookin like a ring/shoulders if unlucky on loomy
i did hc bracers with ascension buff thingy
did you send cds on boss at start or waited as well 30s?
when we usually use prism?
send at 25
did your guild move the boss out and let the ghost there in the adds near the void tear?
i feel like i cant get my flag stacks up
mh i see, we did other way around today, i mentioned it maybe be better to have boss there but no 😄
only need enough damage on the add to kill before the next one, doesn't make much sense to have the boss away
hey guys 🙂 can anyone tell me why sub rogue cant macro cold blood with sec tq ?
i cant imagine a reason whats better on keeping the ghost there
What do i farm as 2nd trinket for forgeweaver if I only have netherprism and no ritual forge? is it pvp on use trinket time or what
good shout no farming just run antenna and go to bed
pvp trink is fine but likely it is better to get a good passive
for me sigil is simming higher than antenna
just take this 😄
is that the council trinket
and it literary sim same as as playing prism + pacemaker
on all sims from 4 to 8 min
I'm getting the boots and trinket on monday from them I guess 
its breakeven at all
#showtooltip Secret Technique
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Secret Technique
this macro still works?
yes
somehow mine doesnt work
relog
do we play cold blood
!cbbug
Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:
- Relogging.
idk all the rogues in top 5 are playing double use
so for araz they insist to move the boss out first. so i have 2 options, flag boss early and hope i get full stacks and then swap to ghost or flag ghost and miss first hits on adds?
whats your suggestion here guys
tell them to tank the boss correctly
So we dont play cb?
stealthi do you know
whats the diff for fatebound between using prism with vendeta and banish
vanish
they argue its stupid to switch to the add when it could be there all the time 😄
i lost
jesus
i was swapped out on lomi as well, cause my tangle dmg was low
you just kill adds with boss
ok
then swap to the echo
lord help me
New weak aura out lads
then back to boss
i will just use it with dm than
and you only do that on the first echo
next two echos you largely just ignore outside of ranged cleaving it
yeah thats what i prepped but i have lost again already
it is what it is
thy so muich !
!def
Rogue Defensive Spreadsheet: > Click to open <
i thought it was removed 😄 i was scared a little 😄
ah i see now
they play method
and thats why kush send cds on pull
cause he could not utilize there
it is more of a tactical play with how bosses work with adds and amps
and also to have dmg on pull
in m+ it is to have more tactical nukes
Benched till forge
You can symbols before
just the 2 supercharged
I just got my 4 set and somehow the second coupe dosent feel like its reducing the CDs like the first coupe?
Am I stupid or is that right
!up
!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.
Running sub?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
loomi is weird
sometimes i do good dmg other times not that much if you hit the adds does it cleave boss?
maybe only hit them when they get closer and maybe delay cds a bit so you can hit adds+boss more reliably?
anyone got a weak aura on the time until first dance activates in between combats
What should I be doing in downtime between SB and flag? I’ve kinda just been spamming backstab and evis, but I feel like I’m losing lots of dps in downtime. I’m usually pulling 2mil dps in m+ at 693 with 2 set
using shadow dance lol
shadow dance and symbols
using like 2 shadow dances until next cd's
you can squeeze in 3 with 4 piece
So I keep shadows dance up and hold symbols?
Most the guides I’ve read say to hold 2 of each for burst windows, and I haven’t quite figured out timing
one shadow dance = one symbols use
you want like 1 1/3 shadow dance when cd's come up
Gotcha, I’ve been holding 2 haha
2nd dance should have 30 seconds or less on its cd
you first dance will get your second dance off cd
Gotcha, is sub a class that really tops the dps in m+/raid or am I mostly there for cc util
it can in m+
not in raid
I mean it can in raid if the group is undergeared or sucks
m+ it 100% can top meters
I used to play sin but wanted to push sub this season and it’s waaaayy harder it seems haha
Sub does very very very good damage now
you're
In keys
the longer you play it
the more you can judge if you can spend a shadow dance on a pack
and get value
Yea that’s the other thing I’m trying to time cds coming up to bosses but I think that just comes with time
I’m scared when we lose 4pc 
damage aside losing 4p is gonna feel bad
it just feels so good to play
minor gripes aside like the weird late cp refunds
Losing 4pc? I’m a filthy casual
ye I'm really, really hoping it makes it into the midnight tree
Or just fix our baseline to behave more like we do with 4pc
I’m sure the excuse will be 12.1.5 cause DH development. 
idk realz said he didn't work on voidman
my Unlimited Blade Works of Copium take is that he's busy working on rogue stuff for midnight
Let me guess you preordered midnight
nah fuck that I never preorder shit
pre-release is still a lagfest so I'm not paying extra to experience it
not paying $90 for any of that nonsense lol
Which one?
i have ideas for both of them
mainly the void one though so gg me
i might not bother with that much
!prepull
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
guys i'm a severe altoholic,and i think beside enhance sub is the spec ive been struggling most with.Any general tips thats not mention in rotational guides
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
What are the best M+ Talents for all instances?
Or do we switch between the keys?
Play the build you like. Run it everywhere
Do we play with or without shuriken tornado?
tornado depends on how you use it
if you dont like it you can just not run it
although it is useful in its own way
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.
nice
storm feels nice in aoe to farm shadow dances

Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
Why do we backstab after?
is subs st beter than assa's?
No
raid. No. Keys. Yes.
Keys giga yes
Boys, does any1 have vods of this season in keys I could watch? Want to see how ppl play outside of CD windows
That’s a useful macro I’ve never considered. Been cursed with ‘shift+1’ as the best option for my backstab in dance button
Hit storm. Hit rupture if they live long enough. Else hit BP
you’re literally just farming CDR
And around 20-25 seconds before flag is back dnt use anything?
cooldown wise
Also since it uses tea, do u pool to not trigger?
You want 1 full dance charge, and 30 seconds or less remaining on second going into flag
That’s why shuriken tornado is so good. In aoe, you farm like 30s of a dance in 4 globals or something
Tea is macro to dance and forget about it.
Yeah but it will auto use tea
Without funnel yes otherwise no
Nah need buff. Close the discord 
its not worth playing around
is shadowdance +cheapshot dead in one global? I use to have that macro a few patches ago, just came back
is there a way to sim different flasks
i use this macro but sometimes it just acts weird and doesnt send the backstab
The general rogue talent Shadowheart stays up during Shadow Dance ?
nope
it works for the very first hit from stealth then goes away forever
its a very strong talent
XD
You can watch casualaddict on yt
Very good player
I missed the moment they fixed Rotten

hey guys, what causes shadowstrike to sometimes not general full combo points?
Shadowstrike generates 3 combo points
Shadow techniques is what is giving you more combo points
on m forgeweaver, are we black powdering at all or just ss - evis onto boss?
or only ss - bp when theres like the stack of 7mobs?
should my dmg graph look like this gang
so in AoE when we're spamming shuriken storm and BP, we just dont benefit from our 4p tier at all right
So is sub better than sin in keys now? Like officially or are we just hyped because we're good atm
why should I shuriken storm in ST here?
so you dont waste the hidden blade proc or w/e it was called
It should be during blades
Not all the time
But while the 4p is up you cannot build stacks towards your next coup, you need to use the second coup first
eleem got a question
And most of the time youll have an unseen blade ready from either sectech or just a rng proc that you wouldnt want to waste
So you storm instead
if you do a coup and you immidiately got your combos back, should you do the second coup or use a finisher
i mean
lol
Why would you use a builder if you are at max combo points
cuz ive seen you say use storm between the coups
As your builder yes
But you dont need to build cp
If you are already at max
Thats the ideal scenario
thats only instead of ss?
Then you dont have to do a shitty storm
It's all in the guide guys
And you can just keep striking
aight
!coup

1more question is there somewhere like the overall good/decent talent build for M+ because I see on wowhead theres a build with either tea and cold blood or should I just run tea as a starter
Rotten smotten
double finality ftw
From my experience, shuriken storm actually applies fw pretty consistently without it
Inevitability is the bigger loss imo
I thought so at first too
@teal prawn shot 5 over on the practice round. Got some coaching from one of the guys. We might be competitive 🙂↕️
!wa
Did you mean for this to be in here 
No but they need to know too 
Fair enough
Idk how I even ended up in here I haven’t been in this channel in like a year 
we still send sectec 1st in dance even if we enter dance with coup ready?
(outside of blades)
You guys think liquid is gonna take it with them being sick and how efficient echo has been with the pull count?
Yes
DO we get a 2nd craft this week?>
Every dance outside blades, with no coup it's still fine to evis first for an extra danse stack?
This week is 2nd total sparks
So 2 crafts or a single 2h total
Tf
How have I not gotten ym other half spark then
Did like 10 raid bosses and 2 dungeons
Complete weekly quest
I see
The ones outside the inn in dornogal. They should list the spark half as a reward
Thanks a bunch
It has a chance to drop from m+ or raid bosses, if you are catching up on sparks. If you are a week behind
Tea technically sims higher in pure aoe about 1.5% better than cb, while it's about 2% behind in st. Both are viable, plenty of top raid parses running tea, plenty of high keys timed on cb
Personally I think if you are switching to fb sin rogue for raid fights, you should just run tea. I've seen a lot of mythic parses where they spec cb and can't use it because of the bug, in which case tea is actually better
Thanks for the idea
nice i got a heroic prism
gratz
karma for needing to buy my hoc
Gzzz
I got offers over 500k for normal antenna
crazy lol
are people still just amcroing this to shadowblades
like any other onuse
You can, but it's a spymaster style trinket with stacking att buff. It's nice to be able to choose when to use it
90 seconds gets you about 9 stacks, 2nd cd set gets you full stacks
It lines up really well if you want to hold burst for amp
But it also works just fine every 90, which you can do if it's a patchwerk style fight
makes sense thanks!
Big stacks = Big fun on big pulls in keys
yea really looking forward to that
Cant be hitting 60M on details with 9 stacks
i think even delves drop them
I need a ballsy prot warrior to set up the biggest pull I've ever seen
do you only send 1x in between 2min cds and the amp for real?
like afk on collector?
Pull up to first boss on eco dome or something
That would be a disgusting pull, the rest of the group is on cc duty XD
We out here showing shamans what a real ascension looks like with 18 stacks
Ascension? Is that even strong :p
Can't tell from the meters
Double on use makes every blades look like ascendance
Absolutely disgusting burst
I can't wait
For them to nerf sub because the trinkets are strong
!up
quick q, are you guys mayhaps using crippling poison on forgeweaver on mythic?
It's not a bad choice I suppose
I see, I'd be forced to ss or bp to apply it right? flurry does not?
Night terrors is a little more consistent
Flurry doesn't do fuck all lmao
I also don't see a raid comp with enough rogues where atrophic wouldn't be good though
how do you guys use rapture if its not while tank is gathering packs
While not in dance on targets that arent gonna die immediately
In-between dances outside of cds, it is most productive damage aside double coup
If outside cds is rupture on all targets that have relevant hp? If no then put rupture on, and continue stabbing
You can think of it this way, you do no damage while outside dance right
If you apply rupture, those are gonna continue to tick later on when you do dance
So its effectively applying in-dance finishers while outside dance
ill keep it in mind
didnt really feel the exaustion from using my cds with this 4 set
i use shuriken storm to farm up my dances
but im not doing abnormally high keys
how do we use double on use netherprism/forge
Rotate them every other
Tyvm, so forge on pull, prism next blades, and so on
Yes
tyvm 🙂
yay four new talent points to put into shit
dark brew is back baby
that means they have to look at our tree bc they're adding stuff
maybe the one ability they modify is sectech, its capped to 8 finally
lmao them giving us bugfixes as talent nodes would be peak blizzard
they are adding talents to sub?
every spec tree and hero tree
ohhh nice
now we can be spoiled and run both cb and tea
cant wait for 0 variation
gloomblade still a dead node 
when the robot tells you to switch gems/enchants/recraft
was around 22-24k for me
results may vary
i was thinking of simming vers fiber cape and pot rn i have 21k
Gloom ignores armor too iirc
i love this fight
When do we Shuriken Storm and Black Powder vs. Backstab and Eviscerate (with Nimble Flurry) in M+? Is there a certain target count we're looking for?
7+ for ss+bp no?
Because if we SS and BP then it doesn't build Unseen Blade right?
Strike builds unseen yes
So in 3+ with FW we kinda just ignore Unseen Blade and Coupe de Grace?
Wdym ignore it
Since in let's say big pulls, we SS and BP
Ahhh okay
Strike in Dance regardless of target count?
Yes
Okay that makes more sense now, thanks!
And coup over BP
Yes
Then do we storm to not waste procs or is that only a thing to do in sblade
