If you are at full cp you would not backstab

limber relic
#

Yeah I know the math works but in reality it just doesn't feel like it. I might be crazy though

dusk stone
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
dusk stone
#

all the folks here sim stuff so the numbers are reliable

opal basalt
#

just pad

#

you're not brought for prio anyways

#

its just that simple

swift tinsel
#

If you wanna tunnel into a prio mob and let nimble do nimble things that’s fine

dusk stone
#

our prio is really strong actually

#

you legitimately can have that role if needed

opal basalt
#

yeah for sure

dusk stone
#

it is actually one of the big reasons to bring sub, that you CAN do that

limber relic
#

Yeah i was gonna say with CDs you can prio a mob better then anyone

compact violet
#

backstab for the first but on the second some top log press shadowstrike instead

#

i guess its a missplay

opal basalt
#

yeah but isnt our main prio from double coup and sectech?

dusk stone
#

you backstab the 2nd if you don't have CP they stab because of premeditation giving full cp

#

read the guide, it will cover all of this and more

#

sub is detail oriented class

opal basalt
#

not from using evis instead of bp in the rest of the cds

swift tinsel
#

Probably why they’re asking clarifying questions

dusk stone
#

yo you 2chest a 12 gambit and priory and apparently ppl still think ur not good enough for 12s

opal basalt
#

shit happens haha

#

as always need to time all 12s with ur own keys first before being taken to pug 12s

limber relic
dusk stone
#

prob just gonna have to run my own key

short radish
#

WHO NEEDS PARTY BUFFS

#

kinda fucked up cds in 2nd room

#

since tank was pulling like a bitch

opal basalt
#

almost 7m overall pog

short radish
#

shoulda been like

#

7.5

#

but we take those

opal basalt
#

idk i'm kinda getting around the 6.5m in 10-12s rn

#

but pug tanks dont like me it seems

short radish
#

this is eco dome so lots to aie

#

ive seen 8-9m before

opal basalt
#

eco dome is insane

#

very nice key

short radish
#

ye

#

replacing this as well finally

limber relic
#

Pug tanks have been bad to start the season....need the bad to widdle out

opal basalt
#

packs live long enough so you basically have full cds for every pack

short radish
#

too bad its not streets shoulder

#

but 20 ilvl is 20 ilvl

opal basalt
#

i have so many slots to upgrade still

#

but thats because this is my alt

swift tinsel
#

Same but runed crest cap is bothering me

dusk stone
#

this was from me sandbagging giga hard in a priory earlier

swift tinsel
#

Flooded with hero track gear

dusk stone
#

sub very good

#

i could have had like 9 or 10

limber relic
zenith prism
#

@hazy breach does the 4pc bonus still work on the first coup?

hazy breach
#

no

opal basalt
#

we're not getting the runed crest discount without upgrading another belt to 704 first, right?

limber relic
#

Right

opal basalt
#

ahh annoying

swift tinsel
limber relic
#

I literally just need 701 chest and hands to drop and im done with runed thankfully

swift tinsel
#

And wep unless you can still swap the slot and have it count

zenith prism
#

so sod should be used on sectech and second coup, is that correct

dusk stone
#

i was on a journey to get dawnbreaker ring

swift tinsel
#

I sent second spark on wrists

dusk stone
#

my teammate got b2b2b signet drops there

opal basalt
#

couldnt on my main

dusk stone
#

two of them being forced upgrades

tulip dune
#

How many targets am i supposed to shuriken storm/black powder on? all 3 of the guides say different target coutns

hazy breach
#

Just sectech

dusk stone
#

i ran it 20x and got zero

opal basalt
#

i crafted offhand with a bit of copium of getting the myth track int mace from first boss

swift tinsel
#

I need to buckle down and farm DB ring

opal basalt
#

now i had to craft weapon yday after killing it

hazy breach
#

Theres no way reliably get it on sectech and second coup, and its not that big of a deal anyway

limber relic
swift tinsel
#

And possibly get dagger in the meantime

opal basalt
#

just be me, be the only rogue in an echo hc split, 3 daggers drop off of loomithar

#

that was the easiest week 1 weapon i ever got

swift tinsel
#

Lol we’ve only had a normal netherspike drop so far

#

Our loot drops have been giga shit

limber relic
#

We had 2 drop off loomithar heroic week 1 and im the only rogue lol

opal basalt
#

i think it was decent for us

#

got a few antennas, like two prisms

swift tinsel
#

Think the only raid loot I’ve gotten besides that was hero track shoulders off loom

limber relic
#

We've had 1 antenna and no prisms :/

swift tinsel
#

No antennas yet, one normal prism and one hero forge

opal basalt
#

let me check our rc history rq

#

(i'm a healer main, i dont get loot until no one needs it anymore anyways)

#

but i did get quite a few offpieces on which others were luckier in keys than me

clever delta
#

In keys i run double on use aswell right?

#

For juicy pulls

tulip dune
slender totem
#

why do i sometimes stay at full CP after spending on a finisher?

opal basalt
dusk stone
#

shadowcraft, its in the talent tree

opal basalt
#

i wonder when and if our guild rogue will play sub

#

gotta talk a bit more to him

#

where can I find a good sub guide ?

many play sin and not sub

wheat dragon
opal basalt
#

maybe on the bosses on which you dont want a rsham i could sneak my rogue in

#

but thats heavy copium

rocky lava
hazy breach
#

As well as when you end up holding cds its kinda scuffed, ive seem casual not use his forge for like 4:30 at some point

#

But idk maybe the on-uses make up for it

lilac stag
#

we're a gigasmall community.

rocky lava
#

somehow I managed to beat an UHDK in a 13 priory FeelsWeird

lilac stag
dusk stone
#

mythic pacemaker is surprisingly close

hazy breach
#

Ye on that boss it also seems kinda sus since youre holding for like 2 or 2:30 if you want to pad

#

So using forge at 30 and then next time at 4:30 seems so bad

opal basalt
#

i'll never play 2x on use

#

just fuck that

lilac stag
#

i need to farm up the pvp trinket and test it

hazy breach
#

I looted an antenna from my vault garf_sit

lilac stag
#

nice. i liked the m+ build on soul

#

idk if that's the play or not

dusk stone
#

i see a lot of new sub rogues in here all day, i look in m+ key and only see 1 sub

#

many rogues though

lilac stag
#

people are sub curious. then they play it and brain metls

#

usually 2-3 weeks = tapout

dusk stone
#

not even

rocky lava
#

their hopes are high for sub then most of them end up playing assa

dusk stone
#

if subs gonna break you it will be like 3 days max

#

on that note

lilac stag
#

nah most will give it a good go. right now in keys you can play any spec so its just a matter of do you want to or not

dusk stone
#

ive been thinking about making an infographic about sub rotation

#

like as a new sub rogue myself, the guide is kinda hard to process

lilac stag
#

the graphics in wowhead are difficult to process?

rocky lava
#

its "hard" until it ticks

dusk stone
#

if like you just show the entire 90s rotation bar by bar though i wonder if thats not easier

#

maybe ppl freak out at that tho

dusk stone
#

seeing like the full 90s rotation would have helped instead of having to guess the stuff between openers

#

cause that stuff is very uncertain if youre not a sub rogue

rocky lava
#

but that is the thing, there are moving variables that skew the 90s window and you have to adapt based on those

dusk stone
#

yeah idk is the thing

#

its a barrier to entry having to guess tho

#

what i did was learn the opener, learn 2 dances between cds and layer the optimizations ontop

#

which was fine, just your 1st day feels bad figuring it out

#

unintuitive is the word

opal basalt
#

idk, i learned the spec through reading wowhead and then figuring out why hekili presses certain things

hazy breach
#

The inbetween dances arent that important

opal basalt
#

now i play it with hekili in a corner just as a safety net in case i forget something

hazy breach
#

Doing the burst well is the most important thing

opal basalt
#

absolutely

dusk stone
#

yeah but like you get lost if you dont know what to do

#

i get getting the burst right is big

warm marlin
#

I’m about 30 minutes into a full guide thing (more inspired to finish since the Whispyr video) that I might finish someday

dusk stone
#

sure its somewhat easier to figure it out im just wondering if there's not some way to make parts of sub easier to understand

opal basalt
#

i sometimes wonder what i'd change to make sub more chill

#

combine flag and blades into one cd would make the most sense to me

#

hey dudes, im using the CB ST macro and my cold blood isnt going on cooldown . Anyone else having an issue with this

opal basalt

we only press them together anyways

lets say ive done the correct aoe opener and my SD and symbols drops off do i just use them both off cd when their up again alligned and keep pumping untill the pack is dead?

hazy breach
#

Idk

#

Whispyr made a 3h video you gotta get on his level

hazy breach
#

Keep sending if the pack needs to die, hold if its not that important or if the next pack is important

#

Secret technique

slender totem
#

dumb

#

alright ty

#

im kinda doing less dmg as sub compared to when i went assa so far

#

io nly have 2 set

hazy breach
#

But generally not sending symbols or dance when flag has ~30s left is the play

lilac stag
#

not surprising

hazy breach
#

Well ye, subs 4 piece is amazing

#

Without it youll do way less

slender totem
#

maybe i just wait for 4 set

dusk stone
summer crest
#

Is it much of a loss, or any at all, if Cold Blood is sent on the first Secret Technique of an go rather than the second?

lilac stag
#

1-1.5% ish

#

it's proper to use it second

hardy agate
#

summer crest
#

May I ask what the reason is? Do we just have more powerups built for that second one?

lilac stag
#

it does more dmg, but yes everything is more empowered

hazy breach

Flawless form stacks

summer crest
#

ah. Its just so awkward to have a second cb bind for how i like my binds haha

lilac stag
#

it does not take long to get get used to it

#

we dont have that many binds as sub

summer crest
#

Ironically thats the issue, it doesn't map on well to my other classes and specs layout :/

Thank you though, I will make it work 🙂

graceful osprey

Is there a targeting macro for better targeting to spread rupture?

short radish
#

mouseovers help

limpid sage
#

I just have mouseover as default

graceful osprey
#

Is it effective even when there’s like 10 billions mobs stacked around you?

swift tinsel
#

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Rupture

limpid sage
#

yes but at that point it doesn't make sense to spread ruptures

swift tinsel
#

or just let replicating do the work for you and don't swap targets ig

#

obv will get less ruptures out

short radish
#

yeah

limpid sage
#

don't remember when it becomes inefficient to rupture over bp

short radish
#

either you just send sdance + bp

limpid sage
#

what target count is it again?

short radish
#

or youre tab targetting rupture in aoe

swift tinsel
#

idk I just cast 2 then a third with flag

#

so I'll have six out

#

idk I don't think about it too much

#

refresh after cds end

graceful osprey
#

True but just something easier than tab targeting

swift tinsel
#

continue BP confetti

#

ye use the macro I posted

cursive vapor
swift tinsel
#

so you don't have to swap targets, just mouseover and if no mouseover target it ruptures your target

swift tinsel
short radish
#

that'd be sick

graceful osprey
distant sage
#

!gear

swift tinsel
#

that macro string is useful for a lot of stuff, I have a bunch of abilities macro'd that way

hazy breach
#

But ofc the faster they die the more it skews towards BP

swift tinsel
#

ye I just do lieutenants/blue mobs usually

limpid sage
hazy breach
#

If you only go by the tooltip yes

#

But rupture is gonna get buffed by dance and stuff

limpid sage
#

ye but nothing bp isn't getting buffed by right?

hazy breach
#

And tooltips are notoriously not accurate in wow

limpid sage
#

rupture does bypass armor though

small hemlock
#

Which race did perfecto change to?

dry zodiac
#

You’re applying the ruptures outside of dance, then when you press cooldowns they dynamically update and tick harder. Once you cast the black powder the damage is done, it doesn’t get buffed when you enter dance afterwards

hazy breach
#

Ye like koreth said

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.

hey guys, is thistle tea talents or cold blood better for m+? I see top logs use CB, but recommended here and wowhead is thistle tea

swift tinsel
#

Either or, tea is a lil aoe bump and cb is a lil st bump

#

Basically dealer’s choice

trail bane
#

so higher keys CB wins prob for time

vale pine
trail bane
#

or streets ST heavy dungs

swift tinsel
#

Prob depends on comp

#

Or dungeon

vale pine
#

ct is stronger on st, tea better with more targets

trail bane
#

dungeon slice sims also prefers CB but i think Dslice favors ST so that makes sense

vale pine
#

dungeon slice sims tea higher

swift tinsel
#

I’m sitting at close to 30% unbuffed crit after shuffling some stuff so tea feels nicer for me

Hey. New to sub. Can someone explain me when to use shuriken storm in ST?

hazy breach
#

If you have shadow blades and the 4p buff

But its minor, if youre new its not a high priority to focus on

Aside from when you have a coup de grace ready, is there any point in doing dance/symbols when you have <10sec SecTec, instead of just waiting for SecTec to be completely off cooldown? As long as I’m not capping on charges of dance or symbols, it feels like I’m rushing to get a sectec instead of waiting for a few globals

What's the point of the find weakness tracker if you still always just BP on 4+ targets?

cursive vapor
#

with find weakness active you can bp on 3+ targets

craggy atlas
#

you mean if i have find weakness up on 3 targets?

cursive vapor
#

nah in aoe if the find weakness debuff is active, you can bp on already 3+ targets, not 4+, but overall bp on 4+ targets works fine

craggy atlas
#

Sorry this might be a dumb question then but in this case shouldnt it still show BP? Since find weakness is on 1 target only but i fight 5 targets

well kinda my point

if human would fall off with time in the xpac

you would see a more dramatic diffrence

so the theory is in a sense disproven

meager whale

#

if you have no blades active and the double coupe proccs, do you storm until you got 5 cp+ even if you need more than 1 storm? or only if you know 1 storm is enough to fill your cp

like 1 fight is pure st

#

every other fight has adds

#

so its w/e

#

you play 5/8 bosses sub and the other 3 it doesnt matter

fathom adder
#

ok thank you

steel zinc
#

seeing fractilus nerfs I argue the first boss is more dificult 😄

#

just have a wa sort it

meager whale
#

I was thinking more in time fighting a single target

craggy atlas
#

Im watching R1 rogues in m+ using some random eviscerates in big aoe pulls during dance instead of BP.. what am i missing? xd

hazy breach
#

It does more damage to the maintarget

steel zinc
craggy atlas
fathom adder
#

Do i understand it correctly that if you would fight 10 targets and you would use bp over evi, even if it is pad (just to explain my train of thought) you still would use the 2 procced coupes over bp ?

craggy atlas
# fallen marsh prio dmg

then the followup question, the find weakness tracker is kinda pointless no? it confuses me because in this scenario its showing eviscerate:

vivid cobalt
#

why do we use Shuriken Storm between Coup casts?

meager whale
#

So 1st/2nd Boss on myth Assa, fractillus assa, rest sub?
For not being in a regular CE Guild, that might end up >40% of the raid. But that’s just for me then 😂

# steel zinc on pure st fights over 3+ minutes it sucks

I find it that my dps is pretty solid for the first few minutes but as the fight drags on, I drop a bit. Of course there are people higher ilvl in my guild but I’m not super far behind. I’m generally in the middle as far as ilvl

swift tinsel
#

because it is, as the name implies, a find weakness tracker

#

it was more useful when there was disparity in when you used BP based on number of FW debuffs out

#

but now that you just BP on 4 targets its w/e

#

its probs only really useful now for 3 target fights to know when all 3 have fw

#

but that's niche

yeah okay that clears things up quite a bit 🙂

#

guys my rogue is like 3 days old gearing wise and i don't do any mythic raiding would u recommand me to craft 2 weapons or craft 1 and wait for next week and see

swift tinsel
#

craft 1

swift tinsel
#

offhand is negligible so you're better off making something else with 2nd spark

vale pine
#

offhand weapon is one of the worse upgrades

valid vault
#

is it bad to have really low crit?

graceful osprey
steel zinc
vale pine
round grotto
vale pine
#

so its usually better to either use one of the high budget slots if you know you won't get a good item there fast

#

or something safe like rings

#

e.g. most rogues currently just take a weapon

#

and will likely craft a ring/bracers/belt 2nd

short radish
#

fuu how likely you think sub will "drop off" again like in season 2

vale pine
#

hard to say

#

subtlety is not doing well on single targte

tawny river
#

should we be secret techniquing twice in first SD with the first dance

vale pine
#

and most of the "drop off" will come from buffs/nerfs

#

entirely possible that we see buffs to other specs/classes

short radish
#

mhmmm

#

because the outgearing will mean subs burst isn't needed as much

#

another classic when everyone gets stronger we get weaker

vale pine
#

also adds dying faster due to more gear could make us worse

short radish
#

thats it time to start dooming

vale pine

short radish
#

always do

swift tinsel
#

nope we're dead

#

delete rogue

short radish
#

i am going to play sub on fractilus

#

unless my RL finds out where i live

#

and puts a gun to my head

vale pine
#

haha

swift tinsel
#

lmao

#

I mean it doesn't feel awful

short radish
#

it was kinda feeling bad on loomi

swift tinsel
#

but I wouldn't mind a lil st bump

short radish
#

i only realised 10 pulls in

#

that i was just frontstabbing the entire time

swift tinsel
#

like 3% st damage

#

max

short radish
#

sprocket v2 electric bogaloo

#

nah 5%

#

give evis a 8% buff or something

swift tinsel
#

nah give it 50%

#

evisc to the moon

alpine wraith
#

delete BP make sec tech do next x evis cleave

#

big buff to evis

#

kill DS

swift tinsel
#

and each cleaved hit nimbles

#

we crashing cpu's

#

coup is a 900 damage event spell

short radish
#

wasnt there a bug in bfa right at the start with assi rogue FoK azerite talent

#

where if it crits it echos again

#

except those crits could then also echo

dusk stone
vale pine
#

which then got fixed but lead to assassiantion getting buffed

#

which did break the balance between the 3 rogue specs and made assassiantion the best spec for the rest of the xpac

alpine wraith
#

i will never forget how they killed first dance

#

then made it give haste

#

then killed it again

#

or echoing blades was supposed to be sub then given to assa

#

or replicating was so good

#

then they murdered it

dusk stone
#

also

#

sub being b tier at start of this patch is in hindsight hilarious

vale pine
#

it made kind of sense

#

assassiantion got a single target last minute buff, so it looked extremely potent

#

and it is, you can see it e.g. on fractilus

#

the burst windows with fatebound align equally to subtlety, and the burst is about the same

#

but

plush roost
#

I mean if it werent for raid buffs, do you think they bring a rogue at all? And not another ele sham?

vale pine
#

assassiantion also saw some last minute aoe nerfs

plush roost
#

Sub isnt S tier, its just the best rogue spec profile for these raid bosses imo

vale pine
#

and the last 2 figths have a very dynamic layout with vulnerability phases, adds and downtime

#

also our trinkets are rly good

strange chasm
#

turns out being able to move cds is really really really strong!

hazy breach
vale pine
#

prism was a bit undervalued by many

hazy breach
#

For pure ST

plush roost
#

Ye if sub was tuned properly for st it would indeed be stier

dusk stone
alpine wraith
#

yea sub is quite decent at st even

#

if we go by overall metrics

#

like top 10 of 1x

vale pine
#

being the worse spec on pure st

#

hmm

alpine wraith
#

sometimes it is what it is

vale pine
#

or you mean in dungeons

alpine wraith
#

this time they forgot to nerf the tier set

vale pine
#

we have lower trade offs from talents

#

which def. helps

plush roost
#

In dungeons its one of the best st haha

alpine wraith
#

to buff our builders

#

so we escaped

#

yea in dung other specs sacrifice a lot

#

to get their aoe

#

while we coast

#

i mean in a boss like frac

vale pine
#

if they wanted to buff our st

alpine wraith
#

because even plex favours us a bit as we can get to the boss fast from getting yeeted

vale pine
#

just buff evis

#

if they want to buff aoe

tepid trellis
alpine wraith
#

intructions unclear buffed shadowstrike

vale pine
#

make secret target soft cap on 8 instead of 5

vale pine
hazy breach
tepid trellis
#

TRUE!

alpine wraith
#

time to shut down the channel and redirect people to #outlaw

vale pine
#

!shutdown

alpine wraith
#

!shutdown

vale pine
#

(if anyone is reading, we are memeing)

tepid trellis
#

tbf rogue in general could use a single target nudge

plush roost
#

How big of a backstab buff do you think it would take to make things like PV and lingering viable

alpine wraith
#

i like how aug is higher than dev

alpine wraith
#

because they can buff the strong specs again XD

plush roost
#

Just a lil thought goin through my head

strange chasm
plush roost
alpine wraith
#

lingering and pv are so bad

#

you would need like a 500% buff

#

same as fatal intent

#

they could buff it by 1000%

#

and it would begin to do dmg

plush roost
#

Isnt fatal intent just bugged

fallen marsh
swift tinsel
#

it is but its also really undertuned

plush roost
#

And it doesnt calculate past a certain point

swift tinsel
#

stops proccing at 30%

tepid trellis
#

why would it?

alpine wraith
#

the bug is that it stops stacking at 35 and pops at 20 or smth yes

tepid trellis
#

feral is insanely good on single target

alpine wraith
#

but still very bad dmg

plush roost
#

My RL is a cat

alpine wraith
#

even if it stacked longer

plush roost
#

He has finally been given PI and its gotten to his head

#

Smh

alpine wraith
#

i like how warrs after buffs are quite good at st now

vestal escarp
#

Eat the raid leaders

hazy breach
#

But it could

alpine wraith
#

tbh i like more of the wildstalker super dot druid

#

but claw is also fun

tepid trellis
alpine wraith
#

yea they might buff evis nerf nimble

#

and we good

tepid trellis
#

i dont think our dmg is that rediculous that we couldnt get a 5% st buff

chrome palm
#

blizz allergic to evis buffs

alpine wraith
#

they saw the special tech of our cleave on dimensius

plush roost
vestal escarp
#

Why compensate with nimble tho? Sub isnt committing crimes in aoe

plush roost
#

We know it to be true

chrome palm
#

because if you buff sub st its aoe goes even harder

#

and sub is some of the best aoe

plush roost
#

They should buff shuriken storm by 15 energy any truers???

alpine wraith
#

true make shuriken storm 60 energy

#

so we lose the few players

vestal escarp
#

Truest

alpine wraith
#

that play this mess

#

but make it hit as hard as strike

#

so we also use it on st

plush roost
#

I meant go back to 35 D:

alpine wraith
#

every dance

#

XD

#

stab finisher storm finisher

#

big

tepid trellis
#

dev evoker does insane dmg in +10s aswell

#

yet their single target is bonkers

alpine wraith
#

dev evoker mastery is just not balanced

#

someome was trippy

plush roost
#

I would unironically support a talent that makes storm a better button to press in dance and its unrelated to me pressing it 3 times in cds in a row from crazy procs

chrome palm
#

its apparently ok that every ranged except boomie can be 4x stacked in raid

alpine wraith
#

beginning the pull with a 119m engulf

#

last time we had melee stacks when was it?

#

hmm

#

warriors on argus raid

#

and uh

hazy breach
#

Windwalker in undermine

alpine wraith
#

but did you have 4?

#

at most 2 or so right

hazy breach
#

3

plush roost
#

Fdk at start of nerubar?

tepid trellis
#

they had 3

vestal escarp
#

Frost and warr in palace

alpine wraith
#

well 3 is kinda up there for melee yea

vestal escarp
#

Nerubar

#

Frostdk

plush roost
#

Sub rogue in amirdrassil

vestal escarp
#

Assa rog in amirdrassil*

#

alpine wraith
#

we had 9 ferals in nefarian

plush roost
#

Nefarian

tepid trellis
#

they ran 2, not sure i call that stacking

plush roost
#

!!

vestal escarp
#

That was the criminal stacking

alpine wraith
#

when was the last time you saw more than 4 melee stacked?

plush roost
alpine wraith
#

or 4

vestal escarp
#

Cant remember

tepid trellis
#

CN

#

unholy dk i think

alpine wraith
#

ah true you could certainly play 4 uhdk

#

before they nerfed them 3 times

#

but sludgefist and generals kinda cucked you anyway

#

of melee

#

i remember they even didnt play warr because it was so bad for melee XD

short radish
alpine wraith
#

any guild had 5?

#

cant remember tbh

fallen marsh
#

and wars

alpine wraith
#

that is 2 and 3

plush roost

i guess melee is just not made to be super stacked anymore

Hi friends, I would like to know in mm+, when using black powder rather than evicerate in aoe.

tacit coral
#

is the shadowdance backstab macro not good to use?

iron whale
#

I was thinking: wouldn't it be nice to have subtlety rogue being visually reworked and upgraded into a void spec?
with some fresher animations and vfxs/sfxs?

alpine wraith

you wish my man

wdym 🙁 ofc I wish

Could someone please give me a small explenation for when to use BP as i'm confused when to use it

instead of evis

#

evis ofc still for coup

the only animation change we need is to look more like borpaspin when we black powder

And use shadowstrike to build CP right?

yes

yeah

in ara 12 i feel the damage drop off with mobs lasting longer is this parse low from what you guys are getting in ara kara 12+?

#

i coulda been around the pally if i did better at last boss

they have a way to buff our ST without buffing our aoe

i know the secret

its hidden in plain sight

sorry dog ate internet

dusk stone

there were a lot of smaller pulls ig

although right now I'm just sitting here getting annoyed at Nexus pugs

Huh, apex talent is gonna be a single 4 point multi rank talent

swift tinsel
#

Wait what

#

hmge

#

I want to say 'interesting' but I'm skeptical

dusk stone
#

that doesnt sound good

keen dome
#

I guess that means your 4 new points are locked up in that

#

Although that's pure speculation, who knows

dusk stone
#

are we only getting 4 more points? thought it was 10

swift tinsel
#

10 total to split between class hero and spec

keen dome
#

no new class talents. 3 new hero tree talents (A row)

dusk stone
#

it sounds like we have an action skill or this game equivalent

keen dome

So hero talents are just spoken for

dusk stone

the sub talent if you will

anyone got a sick way to track when to stop casting SD and SoD

i bet it will be Deal 15% increased damage for 15 seconds, then deal reduced damage for the rest of the key

I bet it makes SecTec cooler

No

think creativity is often drowned by strict deadlines and corparate greed

#

you see a lot of companies lately struggle and get stuck in cycles of re-releasing existing titles

dusk stone

this is top ara kara parse

#

9,009,131.0 for sub

#

that was around 66th highest ara kara parse on wcl if key level is accounted for

#

idk i blame me and the tank for being bad

left ledge
#

lets be real

#

our apex talent is going to be sepsis

pliant topaz

i think its more likely to say" theyre giving you super shadow focus as a talent"

#

that makes shadow focus 5% stronger

super shadow focus

shadowcraft is a good one

then i just uninstalled

i dont think velkoz mid is playable in high elo, like post 6 youre just a potato with 0 prio

im the opposite. quit wow to go back to league and never been happier

Were any of you guys having issues with immune soaking on araz. It seems sometimes if you cloaked you wouldn't get the debuff but it would count but other times it wouldn't count as you being in the soak.

pliant topaz

like theres a lot u can do there tbh, like u can contest prio when u have either vision, or u know your junglers around, or u know their support doesnt have roam timer, or u know your bots on the map pressuring

like theres a lot of ways to know when u can contest for prio and when u cant

gmaes too hard ngl

no you can take the spot next to me

ive never tried rogue because ive always been kinda intimidated by it....and this is the first season I said F it I wanna try and sub is just...its scratching an itch I didn't know I had. I love this spec so much. Honestly even if they nerf it ill probably keep playing its just so fun

your dance uptime is higher in aoe anyways bc of higher cp economy so it kinda evens out

makes sense, you sacrifice some dance cd by using a less efficient builder

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.
