It's probably relatively minor gain short term
3 splits, did hc loomithar 3 times this id aswell
Damn, big gamers there
I don't have the faith to do that
I'm sticking in my semi-casual guild
Raiding twice a week and aiming CE
People out there doing more splits than I do progression raiding
Real
that does sound way more fun than splits ngl
Kinda hilarious how two evenings of raiding turned into semi casual
Back in my day that was hardcore
More than two nights and I'm in big trouble
It is, we don't have a lot of time for playing and optimizing but we doing great I think
And we laugh a lot
That's the most important

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.
Can someone link me the image of how you guys pop your CDs // order? I need to prove a point to someone
You how we do or or we supposed to do?
Very much appreciated my friend
in aoe, as trickster sub, during shadow blades, I'm supposed to use shadowstrike, right?
Ye. It flurries to mobs and does big dam. And unseen blades, etc.
!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.
previously it was recommended that we use flag when we have 1 charge on SD and ~40sec left on cd of second charge, does that change with 4pc having more cdr?
!coup
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.
Tbh, I aim for 1 charge and 30 sec cd
Cuz 1 charge and 40 cd left, I'm not always sure to have second dance
i was hoping more for the other direction π
!guides
does it make sense to use flagellation with shadow blade?
It was 30-35 before, the set only adds about 2.5s to dance cdr before the second one
sometimes waiting for that 2nd charge feels like forever especially if im holding finishers/coup
you certainly should not be waiting for the second charge
not in a macro if thats what you askin
You mean macro'ed? No
that is very bad
Alright
i mean for that cd sweet spot π
i have a WA that tells me to flag π
oh less bad
If you have to wait its that u used too many between burst
Doing nothing with coup up 20 sec before blade is still worth I think
naa, i follow that 2-1-2 rule
the only change Iβve noticed with cdr is you can be slightly more aggressive with sending dances and send raw sectecs a lot more aggressively
I think Eleem confirmed that
i have also WA that tells me to stop SD cause flag is comming
which is like ~30sec cd remaining on flag
I can get 2 dances between the 2 and 3 flag without holding flag fairly often
Result I'm out os SoD when dance and Sectech re up
but thatβs with the opener cheese stuff
i usually get to send naked sec tech+sod after the 2nd flag
just gotta get some good tierset rng
That's why we delay
and you can be very aggresive with it
I THINK itβs consistent with the sectec prepull cheese
Or at least it feels that way
!cheese
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.
The 2nd one
Itβs not easy being cheesy
is Sub better then assa atm for m+?
no
assa better ?
anyone else having this sblades bug?
this is from the wowhead guide right?
Correct
guys I apologize for the annoying question, I haven't played sub in m+ since S2, does it still suffer from flacid dps on pulls where you don't have sectec? I know the overall m+ dps is good, but are there pulls where you feel embarrassed π
In the opener explanation
flacid is an overstatement
but it's actually a bit better with the new 4-set because of all the cdr
Is it a good guide?
I see thx π
i can do like 10-15mil dps on 8 mobs with just dances
I found some ohter written guides to not be the best tbh
with a bit of good tier procs
On wowhead?
new to rogue, so unsure who they are
Icy / maxroll
Ok i'll read the wowhead
Read the guide, and don't hesitate to come here for further questions
i Will!
It will be a pleasure to answer
π hey, i theorycraft for subtlety since legion, nice that you want to play subtlety
in general, all guides are good
oh shit the one and only is here
!guide
so you can take any of them and will get good information
outside of that, just ask in here, we have many individuals who can answer your questions
Generally, everything from Fuu, Stealthi and Eleem is goated
the worse thing is to get stuck on a detail, so just ask any time this happens
subtelty is not exactly the easiest spec to understand ^^
been trying it out with hekili (just to get a feel) and my burst is like 6 mil compared to my assa opener that is 12 mil on dummies
hekili isn't that bad
dummies can be a bit bait
^
cuz they go into execute
you might have used the execute dummie
Yeah, but It needs some config as I remember
and assa does 30% more dmg during that time
If you got some config to share i'll galdy take it
the problem with hekili/etc is
you feel a false security
so if you make mistakes, it might not be obviouse
You need to show the offgcd buttons
!wa
I don't remember exactly
wheres that blade tracker WA
In packs
Is Fuu pack a complete package?
I stole guy's one
yes
my pack is complete
but i don't like many of the more specific/fancy setups others have so i only track what i need
im sure i saw a standalone link one here just before
In outlaw maybe?
oh it was in outlaw yeah
!gear
oof
does it make sense to macro and CDs together?
whats that

I got shadow dance with Death rune
it got blocked in certain countries due to music
just my araz pov
Alright i gotta run some errands i will give sub another try to get the rotation down, thanks a lot everyone for being so friendly
racoon and forbidden music
and i havent been able to stream cuz my obs keeps shitting the bed
so ive tried to fully reinstall it today
to see if that helps
You're welcome mate, check that guides ,try to understand the vbibe of the spec and come back if you got questions
Would you guys run Lily on odd and Prism on even Flagellations or just use Secret Technique until I get a better shit? with double on use, every second flag can be huge
nice
a quick rundown of the spec manboobs.
The most important part is cooldown management, so always try to have 2 symbols charges and enough shadow dance charges for your 90 second window.
During your 90 sec cooldowns you want to flag-finish and then send 2 dances back to back.
In both dances try to use secret techniques top priority and if its not ready evis as finisher.
As a combo point builder use Shadow strike.
There are more details and optimizations but playing your 90 sec correct already accounts for a big part of subtleties overall damage
i meant So'Leah Secret Technique*
generally speaking i wouldnt run 2x on-use unless the 2nd trinket is forge
you can audio split in obs, so you only have game music in your vods/recordings
gonna try again on monday when i raid again
π hope you can fix the problems
thanks for that
Thought Iβd rather play sub then assa. Had the feeling it is easier. But seeing my ranks and reading things here makes me wonder if I can RL and sub at the same time tbh. π
if you do your prep as sub in raid
koop de grakke
you for sure can
once you build muscle memory yes
as a beginner, probably not great
the benefit you have on sub is, the rotation outside of cooldowns is fairly simple
when i still did key pushing i was shotcalling as sub
nice, you plan to push again this season?
nope
dont really like the dungeons
and i dont really have the time since i also raid in lost ark during the weekend
happy if you like the format, it was a last minute idea i had at the start of the season.
oh true
i saw LA was popular on twitch
is there a new raid/season?
new raid opened wednesday for KR
i heard they brought clown back do u get to fight him again
i loved hell clown before i quit
sounds exciting
Hell Clown is a fun idea
Best last minutes idea tbh
cool fight
how many finishers/ruptures would u guys max do in flaggelation before committing to shadow blades opener?
still not entirely sure how many to rupture in first pull flood for example cus gathering takes quite a while but mobs are also stacked kinda early
m+ is very pull dependent
I would do 1 cuz I hate having cd's delayed / Desync
^ this is also good if the pull takes longer
but its route and pull dependent and you need to experiment what works best with your group
I see
!4p
its pretty good for new sub players so we know what to shoot for
!tier
Tier set:
Best Slots: Head, Chest, Hands, Legs
Strength: 2p (~10% dps) | 4p (~20% dps) -> Combined: ~30%.
Note: Try to get the 4set asap.
agree, its nice to have one picture to look at to see what gear is relevant quickly
i am sure i can improve on the visuals in the future, but its good enough for now^^
the amount it takes to fully gather the pull and have everything in range is the correct answer there isn't a number
ideally you slam flag the moment the last mob comes in
I meant if u send it early for example how many can u afford so u would still get full value in ur cds?
there is extra math with lower keys and low hp percentages where its worth less but you learn that with time
yeah but i assume before even sending flag
Is 2pc/2pc worth? Should I just sim? π
i use a lot before too
There are two others specs you can play while still being a rogue.
Hey! It might be a stupid question but what in the name of blizzard does the talent so tricky do?
yea and this is why I don't play sub
so tricks of the trade you place on a tank and hit a mob in that order specifically, he must have established threat first
Thanks for sharing!
after that point all threat you generate goes to the tank
!sheet has 2p2p in the comparison, but item level makes 2p2p rarely worth.
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
so tricky makes it last an hour
but it doesnt last an hour if i look at my buffs or the tanks
so 2p2p not that important
the sheet is gone but i was looking for how much dps increase s2 4p was
but 2p2p > only new 2p
is like 11.5 right?
Hat only HC pieces S2 in most slots. Guess Iβll just sim
basically
ty
this comparison
dont flame me please, but can someone please explain Shadowcraft talent?
yeah i remember saying you equalized for ilvl
you see how much each bonus is worth (4p includes 2p ofc)
how much u loose for binding shadow dance and sod ? If i understand correctly the only moment u send SOD alone is for the second dance of burst ?
but all tier pieces are set to the same item level
so you get more damage from the item level gain too
because you won't only use normal item level tier pieces
i sandbagged in priory 12 so hard tonight i coulda had 9 overall
haha
i fucked up my cooldowns in priory last run we did
could have beeten the other dps by a lot more
I rarely see flames in class/spec DC. Donβt worry π
but sub legit carried me, 7.02 overall was not bad
you proc ShT 50% faster and gain 2 stacks instead of 1 during symbols, and IF you reach 7 stacks and press a finisher it will fully refund your combo points
but thats part of the learning experience
^ stealthi has the short version, ill give you the long version.
Basically, Shadow techniques is a stacking buff you get, you get it based on auto attack counts.
So you get one stack every 3rd auto attack with a chance of 50% and if the 3rd attack does not trigger guratneed on the 4th.
the stacks will be turned into combo points with your next combo point trigger
it is why you often get more than 1 combo point when e.g. using backstab
the buff can stack up to 2x your maximum combo points
so 14 max
it can stack when you have effects active that max out your combo points like shadowblades or premeditation
or during aoe when storm generates max combo points every time
hope thats somewhat easy to understand
with 5 targets trickster do u press shuriken storm / BP on dance for the DS stack ?
i'm looking for araz and it's like every rogue doin different
Remember when Sub got rdm CP procs on autos
!guide
generally we use a storm right after sectec with the opener to spread find weakness, but thats only guarunteed with the rotten talent we get a dm stack from that
thank you very much for breaking it down for me.
So now, there is Shadowcraft.
When you activate Symbols of Death, it changes how Shadow Tequniques works in multiple ways.
-
It speeds up the "auto attack" counter.
So instead of every 3rd auto attack 50%, 4th 100%
It triggers 2nd auto attack 50%, 3rd 100% -
It generates double the stacks.
So fairly simple, if it procs you get 2 stacks
and finally:
3. It gets a new superpower to refund combo points on finishing moves.
This works like the following.
If you have enough stacks of sht to fill up your combo point bar, it will refill it after the use of a finisher.
One examples to help understand it.
You have 9 stacks of sht, you use evis -> you get 7 cp back and can finish a second time.
The refill has a very minimal delay, but it should not be noticable.
ye ok like u sd + sod ==> bs ==> sectec ==> storm with t100% crit with roten so fw applies
i think liquid loses the race this morning
echo has been killing it with pull count efficiency and they are in a good spot with where they are
it was never actually "random"
also, why do i feel giga squishy in 12's right now?
i swear 12's last season did not hurt this much
because you had 50 more ilvl
cuz you are low ilvl
yeh and last you did +12s you were like 20 ilvls higher comparatively
yeah i get it, but is the stamina just gonna do that much?
Stuff dies faster means you also take less damage
there is also armor value
Idk, I don't feel squishy as sub rogue
yes
also yeah just press feint lol
and also we have passive 25% DR
There's much worse classes
from existing
If you die while feinting it must be casts going off
armor value?
so that number goes up and the damage taken goes down yeah
also took a mauling to the face on no energy
phys dam taken go down yeah
i turned in the other day to the echo stream
and the casters asked perfecto
"how come, you are so good at dodging things, you ended up the one with the least damage from raid mechanics"
and he answered with "well if i don't i simply die"
true
(transcribed, don't know the exact words they used anymore)
so ye, rogue is squishy
we have strong cooldowns like cloak, evasion (if it works) and feint
its also hard to focus when healer isnt great and that causes damage taken to go up
like if they are legit awful its almost easier
also we have extra super powers
!macro
Subtlety Macros:

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
e.g. arakara last boss
wdym with arakara
i dont trust my ping for that 
not because i wanted
but because our ranged dps did eat the puddles like candy
well you can cheese it
you can use shaow step, sprint, vanish-strike
and if nothing else worked, cloak
does evasion also work?
its magic damage, so no
step annoys me sometimes but its a legit nice thing
last boss dawnbreaker you can jump off the edge of the stairs and port back while dropping web
also it depends on key level, might be able to survive it on lower ones
11
yep
you can also cloak to avoid the stun effect when you get the wave
rogue has some nice cheeses
you can interrupt the root adds, i learned that today
i figured it was a stun
cloak works on stun huh
its only a 1 sec stun or so, but it prevents it
with our 20 ilvls less gear a 12 is like a 14 or something atm?
we are just at the start of a patch
so you might be somewhere around 700
with ~720 max item level
means there is a lot of room to get more hp, higher dodge chance (from agi), more vers, etc
Fuu, do you know how many sht stack i can proc during coup?
you can get a 7 cp refund, just like with other finishers
there is dodge chance from agi
sht does not go over the cp max
so spymasters is just a dcd too lol
No I mean
it just reflls your combo points after using a finisher
My qestion was badly done I think
I'm at 6 stacks, I press coup and get a 7th stack during coup, it will refill
or well have high stacks
Or I miss something how coup's working?
this may be a bit of a stupid question: i only played assa rogue but rly wanna go sub. is sub harder to play than assa ?
yes, harder to learn and easier to master
it is harder to learn
On singletarget for sure, but its not as hard as people say
but i would not be too concerned
okay tyvm
whats actually hard about sub is optimizing it
think every specs min/max is more difficult
can only play sub if you have a degree in nuclear fission
XD
nuclear rocket surgery
we're brain surgeons
i have a pgd in procastination, am i qualified?
YES
i want to swap cuz i think it will fit better in our m+ comp and somehow i dont enjoy assa anymore as much as i used to xD
playing DS is horrible
it's one of the worst experiences you can have in modern wow
just focus on doing the opener right, do two or 3 dances between flag cooldowns and then do flag cooldowns again
get that right and add more to it
if flag and blades are coming up in like 30 sec, i just hold dance,symbols and sectec right?
It checks when you use the finisher iirc, so the proc needs to be very close to the finisher to still register.
not a hard rule
when you're first learning that's a good rule to live by
it raid it was like 40 seconds last patch, this patch its less
then see where you can add in more
in keys its 20
you essentially want to have 2x symbols 2x dance every flag/blades
unless you are 18 prism and then you need 3 dances, which means having two full ones
thats the very top level cooldown usage summary
yea okay i can do that i guess
is the 2 dances inside of cds, then 2 out of, 2 in, 1 out repeat still a "guideline" or do you have much more SD cdr due to t-set?
sub feels very good right now and you'll get it if you put the work in for sure
i started last patch and i am somewhat competent with it
im a tryhard and a fast learner π
the "cooldown" uses between the big cooldowns is just dependent on how many dance/symbols stacks you have but usually 1-2 times between cooldowns
How does sub compare to assassination in keys? I havenβt touched sub yet. Whatβs the reason you would play one vs the other? And why are some bosses on mythic better for sub instead of assassination?
so many new sub rogues today
Subtlety is good, assassiantion does better if there is a lot of longer living adds
ty guys rly helped me a lot
yeah this is what happens when sub becomes meta lol
is it meta yet?
its working on it
in keys yeah
for phys comp
why did people switch from assa
phys comp is a lot more popular this season than last
the thing is with new coup, our out of cd dances are so strong that you see 14mil on pulls regularly
one reddit user described it as sub never having cooldowns lol
i think sin's bleed build was just mega OP at the very start when nobody had gear and keys were 10s
but naturally has key levels went higher bleed becomes less good
thats in part true, especially if you manage things poorly
the cdr on dance could be a bit higher
he meant it in a positive sense
true
Idk thats just wrong either way, you'd do way more than 14m on pulls with cds
we have a bunch of dungeons where the timer becomes tight on bosses
bleed build and when u play with arcane mage in like 13/14s ur target dies before DM had its full duration xD
I have too much dance cdr in keys
i will quote eleem and say sub does very very very good damage rn. Sub is a very strong burst class where we can move damage around and throw more of it into amps if we want without much if any dps loss. Netherprism accelerates that this tier. Stealthi was saying he was getting some pulls with 60mil on them with an 18 stack from prism
Sending dance sectec with no symbols feels horrible
double on use works just very good for us
sin is better prior damage but our isn't bad and our aoe is pretty good rn, we just drop off inbetween cooldowns and sin takes over then
espeically in burst aoe pulls
yeah it's rough
assassiantion is funnel and sustained aoe
you dance without symbols?
thing is sub can do very good prio dmg too if you use evis over BP
usually no
its just not funnel is all
In aoe yes sometimes you get so much cdr you have too many dances for the amount of symbols you have
nah not funnel, but great prio
i want to give deathstalker a try tbh with its funnel
when would you? just double checked the guide and cannot find something about it
18 stack prism with funnel on big momma sounds funny
prio stays good for sure, but we don't rly funnel anymore
funnel of sub is very weak compared to other specs who can actually benefit more from funnel
kinda sad, because it was our niche
if its a lot of adds tho and black powder does it not become good?
depends on the mobs
like the sentinels after 1st boss in eco dome i was BPing those pulls
until i realized it was just pad
pad away
the next sentinel i full evised down and it died in my cds REALLY fast
but pad looks good on the meters 
u dont brink sub for prio dmg
true
^
i haven't played with any prio specs though in phys comp
!gear
if you want prio would play sin 
its just that we have a decent chunk of that too
Sub still does really high prio
in cds you can delete a target
!coldblood
- 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.
!cbug
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.
And our cooldowns are really strong, so we can often end up doing more/similar damage to the prio target than assa does
Just because we burst hard
In the little keys Iβve done flag blades can let you beat arcane assa on a funnel mob
Your cds are just insane
yeah double coup also helps
it's close, but when you add all the modifiers
Yes, tbh I was just wondering at how many stack I should wait a bit before sending next gcd to avoid having a refill and press my storm
evis ends up doing quite a bit more i think
Assuming pressing evis or BP?
Either or, doesnt matter that much
But obviously slightly higher with evis
someone made a weakaura for the bug
A lot of the prio damage is from sectech, unseen blades and coup
oh thank god ty ty
i could be talking out of my ass here, but i dont think our sustain is even that bad rn with coup
The choice of BP vs Evis doesnt impact it that much
i'm never talenting nado unless it's very ahead
did an arakara 12 yday and in the last corridor with the overseer and the smallies i peaked 25m on details, man that felt good haha
i cheated on TR with another talent and i regretted it
Does assa not scale better with key level btw?
!cbug
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.
You can use a weakaura to get a reminader: >Open on Wago.io <
the math might be diff this patch
alright, added it to the commad
Dont even need nado for cdr most of the time π€
Tossed that 
but how much does 18 stack prism do to a mob, would you not just obliterate it?
maybe its just the call in higher keys to let your sustain classes take care of 1 pull and you do the next
honestly not sure,. but last season bleed started falling behind when key levels got higher and was "troll" to play
i'm on 15-16s atm and sub feels very strong

have you also ran sin to compare?
it's disastrous maintaining ruptures
yeah i started this season playing sin
sin is still strong for sure
but seems like people really do not like sin's bad ST
how do you feel about the compared sustain though
the problem with us is always tank damage after awhile
you have a few keys where sin is just not good compared to sub like streets and DB
heehee
what is zeross running
it's interesting because as fatebound you have to use vanish during DM+KB
im not sure how much he actually plays sub but his numbers are always really high for rogue
so you can't use it to IC
yeah he's probably killing it as sin
his last 2 streets are on sub 
I trust only r1 players
dungeon is so cursed for assa
i actually get to run in a double rogue m+ comp and our sin wants to play sub now apparently
last one i timed with like 4 mins left
i will say double rogue is a nice vibe
sub is crazy good in streets
plus speed shroud for RP
interesting build
he's running
speed shroud is really underated as an ability, as well as the 50% cd for it
people always talk about X thing taking time off the timer and shroud never gets mentioned
oh this is goddamn raid biuld am i high
jesus christ
i need to sleep earlier tonight
hard to sleep when vibes are good
π« Sleep important
i honestly looked at that and was like "wow new M+ build"
haha true!!
well it is new for sin, in that you will do relevant boss damage
i keep trying to sleep earlier, but then i end up chatting in here too late lol
whomever wrote that iv article today lit a fire under me. Sub is top in 95% percentile of keys completed even if its close
'the old king has returned to his throne' goes so hard
the interesting thing is i'm not far behind these big streamers
I think Nexus King is my least favourite fight to pug in a while. Extremely fun fight on heroic but geeeeeeeez people.
the only sub streamer i really care about is casual
he will pull accurate sub numbers compared to what it can do as far as i have seen
what was parse?
no idea, just looking at rio
speed shroud is the best talent we have
it's pretty cool π
i think sin isn't bad right now
^
i think all 3 rogue specs are super strong
sin is incredibly good still
it's just sub has the edge atm
i really think a big part of it is sub's ST ability
you have a lot of bosses where you kinda want to kill them asap
Iβm not entirely convinced
agree
I think you play both depending on key
i could be wrong for sure
I do more damage on sub but Iβm very much better at it
we just need to be patient and wait
and be grateful its this close
after the cancer of last patch
and sprinkle a bit of outlaw on top sometimes
^^
the legit only good thing about last patch was the anime training arc it put me through to be not awful on numbers
i couldnt even raid, i got the renown bug
was just looking at archon.gg today and saw this
the last time i looked sub was below sin and outlaw
oh interessting
it's suddenly shot up
for a straight month, i had to deal with raid sub dps and then -15% less
so it seems CB bugs only when we switch from assa build that has CB to sub build that has cb, when switching from assa builds (e.g. bleed) that doesnt have CB its fine... so shifting from fatebound st to bleed to sub st might be faster than relogging
Yeah, Prism is insane. Doing 10m+ burst ST on some bosses is insane
Making them SO much quicker and have less mechanics.
true
you can switch specs, switch talents, switch back
works apperently too
with sub being this good i am really gonna try and push for title this season
it's cool to see most of the big phys comp specs are highly ranked atm
Brew is kinda silly rn
!sims
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
and whenever i'm queueing for keys or listing my own, it's really easy to build phys comps compared to last season
Yeah
last season the phys comp community was very small
i can actually completely ignore every caster signing up for my keys now haha
speaking of declining, apparently a high ranking ret paladin made an addon to auto decline rets
i think it was in protest of the discord thing
lmao
i am happy to see sub played
Same
ditto!
i just hope it's not early season stuff
so things just got better this season
and then we fall off
aint no raiders playing sub
i initially did not think we would
I AM
world first does

on last 2
lmao
sin is really good in raid
^
Clearly I'm world first (aotc via pugging except someone already ddi that in this very discord)
as sin you can choose between a whole bunch of different builds with different cd timings
i was half joking, its just that most raiders dont usually play sub over sin at least not recently
id rather jump off the cliff than playing ds assa on 4th boss
yeah its much easier than ds right
Much like the popularity of ret, many many people flock to assa just because it is much easier (in raid)
i wonder
i may play it for fractillus
if FB is good in mΓΌ
ye, single targets with fb sin are fckin snoozefest
m+
it is yeah
how bad is fb in m+?
but effective snoozefest
is it unplayble bad?
it auto nerfs itself with any add
ye
i made a FB build using zeroess' cleave talents because that's the only thing you can do
inverse target scaling
Iβm ngl I kind of like it 
i was able to do ~10mil sustained dps on target dummies
FB sin is just sub man
lol
thats true
Afk
are there any streamer/youtuber that play sub?
the funny thing is you're not locked to 1 target because of DS mark
but you end up being locked to 1 target most of the time because of KB anyways
because FB is in KB so much
casualaddict
oh, thought he was assa only - thanks!
cmlo too, he is not bad at the spec either
casual will play whichever rogue spec is the best
kush, perfecto (atm)
Think most of the m+ streamers will play it if its good so:
casualaddict probably a good choice, speed maybe, but best is to just look
Outisde of this, i think some people in here stream occacionally like stealthi might stream some of his progress if he can fix his obs
Like minus the fact that the peaks are bigger in execute, this damage profile is almost sub
do you use prism in m+ ? did not play it yet
what is the way to use netherprism, can we pre stack or something like that?
yes and it is cracked
you just dont get stacks at dungeon start is all
i tried to use the gather window to build stacks but its not worth
just wait for 9 or 18 and do big dam
does it reset on raid bosses too
that is a great question
thanks. am okish on sub but more input cant hurt. especially for m+ π
probably
maybe go far out of the room with a dummy or something
there would be no efficient way in raid to farm stacks before bosses
or this games equivalent to a portable dummy
what about our best bought rogue Lashga?
and we send it with shadowblades regardless of its stacks?
wdym bought rogue?
dude bought his title and tired to play it off as nothing in here
he paid for people to do high keys with him?
was I not clear?
just checking man
i only saw a couple of his parses and they were really good though
if it was a carry thats one thing, if youre paying just to play with people and carry them thats different
He did not carry them in any way
And then bragged about being rank 1
Was below aug in half the keys
odd
Which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way
i saw a cinderbrew he did and it was jacked, he halved the gap between us and outlaw
Bc thatβs scumbag behavior
i think i just pissed on zorn's rogue crush
And then called the people carrying him bad 
he's also trans/homophobic. there's a reason he's not in here
βIβm just playing with friendsβ
And then has a crash out on stream and unfriended everyone
yeah thats pretty bad
!up
surely now i wont get caught off guard by the delayed coup refund when ive made a fckign bar to show me when i can press a button again

yours or is that exiles?
mine
i was looking to see if anyone released one
i just made it like 5min ago
nice
i heard exile was looking for something to help him, so i sat down and figured something out
lmk if you're willing to share
yeah I'd love to incorporate that into mine if you're open to share
Idk you can do all the preventative measures but sometimes you just proc from 5-7 with 0.1s left on the gcd
the delayed coup procs are murder
It is what it is
The proc from 3 to 7 during the coup
Those are the most devious
cant escape em all, but would like to minimize them
Yeah the devious 3-7 in the last 0.3s is crazy
makes it easier if you only have to react to the bar going full
you still have 0.2 sec until you can fire the gcd after the bar is gone
And then boom double proc
when you are at 3 and you get a skyfury proc and insta go to 7
is great
i use quartz, it has a gcd time build in ^^
non elvui 
I have my gcd bar tied to dance but I feel like sod is a better trigger
I wonder if itβs possible to make a wa bar with ticks for the exact time each coup hit occurs
only need to know the last one
If itβs consistent you can
!up
itβs not so bad to make
now there is a tick
i didnt install it yet but that is the #1 i am doing tomorrow for sure
roughly where the last coup hit is
Reply "My aura" imo
you can consistently get 60mils with 18 stack prism?
!macros
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.
My goat
Pokimane sub
not my sub
depends on pull size
!opener
there anything special you do aside from 3 dances and prism?
!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.
is there any easy openers?
opener in there
for aoe=
!guide
i see
check wowhead
the guide covers that and a lot more
guys
yes my child
has tricks always fucked with tanks getting up before i'm dead?
is spreading rupture not worth in opener ?
i spread 1 or 2
Yo, I was helping too
Hey, I'm a new player to WoW and am switching away from fury because it's hurting my hands lol.
How fast paced is subtlety?
nice π
holy
fast in cds, slow outside of cds @weak shale
so many new players
okey, would u rec playing sub now over assa for m+
yeah i've climbed quite a bit with sub too
can be a bit whack sometimes
they see sub in details
if the tank has 0 threat
all comin to us now cause were bis
yes but you are in a sub channel
lol
all keys are sub keys

its only until u find a sin rogue thats better than you
try for urself and see what you enjoy best
outlaw
so dont be that guy and get beat
is there a macro for shadowdance to use the backstab after pressing it?
it would be pretty deep depression if sin just ends up being the meta rogue spec again
Make Sub the meta spec
!wa
Manifest it by not backing away
yeah but they're going to be
simplicity to focus on mechanics kinda defaults it to meta
!bs
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.
hopefully this place keeps getting more subs so we can consistently get good tuning
just pump
yo you got a pure mage in that group you got intellect buff what you on about
not a single relevant party buff that i care about*
rogues dont need to be smart
But he make you much smarter
zug zug
Sus
like following scenario. i give tank tricks, tanks gets oneshot in pull and immediately gets up, mobs run to dungeon entrance immediately
Bpbpbp
like that is incredibly annoying rn
we only survive bad patches because big brain around here tbh
oh yeah because you have perma tricks
very nice lol, so i'll have to tell my tanks to not get up immediately haha
or i could also just take the other hero talent but thats not as comfy
wdym not get up immediately
just tell your tank to not die
you mean mount?
never had issues like that
is that better that all others members get one shot bcz they have aggro
i think he means that he has to tell the tank not to mount so he can tricks
Watched a video from some youtuber and he said we use black powder when we have 3 or more targets with weakness ,is that true ?
nono
i mean the tank dies and all mobs run to the tank
because he has perma tricks on him
I donΒ΄t see how that's an issue
why is the tank dying
you want that to happen if tank is dead
If thank is dead and rez, you want him to have aggro again
i want mobs to aggro sidepacks we didnt pull after a semi-wipe?
it can become a big issue if the mobs run halfway across the world to get to the tank
but at the end of the day tank shouldn't be dying
yeah ofc tank shouldnt be dying
if the mobs don't run to tank it would be an insta wipe right
usually the easier solution is you bring a real bres
so they can insta bres if the tank dies
!coup
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.
yes
!guide
yeah that sounds like the best call
problem here was, the tank was the bres class
but in the end it really is "tank shouldnt die"
just bring cables
hahaaa classic
do rogues have an easy or hard time in delves?
it's usually kinda impossible to cables bres a tank in time
with the new influx of players we should try and hit the guide command more
unless the aggro goes on someone who can kite/immune the mobs
answering a single question about sub is fine until it has to be done like 3 times in 60 seconds, and not as good as directing people to the info dump
Theyβre not the easiest but once youβre decently geared you can rip through them pretty quickly as assassination with bleed build then switch to sub to kill end boss
Just mentally prepare for Brann to piss you off a lot
Bc he tries his best but his best is not very good
hahahha
Heβs a fuckin menace
i thoroughly enjoy hitting dance, brann takes aggro and kites the delve boss out of the room resetting him
i hate brann so much
Yep that happens so much that Iβm numb to it now haha
So I try stealthing to the opposite side of the room before pulling
Helps a little but heβs still a fuckass
Ye they need to add a taunt to delves
i would say just swap to sin ST build instead
Ye with fatebound now theyβre good
but then you'll get "cannot change that talent while thistle tea is on cooldown"
brann was 100% designed with annoying you in mind
aint no way someone crafted those lines without that intent
just let us tricks the boss
Boss an-heroβs

not my question but thanks ^^
yeah i thought that'd mention something about it
!burst
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.

Ait lads time to cut it
sry chief

and on the burst windows, were supposed to open the second SD with backstab ?
for danse macabre yes
a lot of logs dont do it was wondering
Coup stack fuckery? Things are shifting sometimes 
Man BP feels bad on like 4-5 targets...is it worth just doing normal rotation for prio dmg sometimes?
If you really want to
wdym the 2nd, what are you doing for the first
Your first builder should be backstab yes
evis is 770k bp is 550k / nimble only does 60% of evis' damage
thats why bp is fine on 3 or more targets with fw
