oh yeah that one, i pointed that out, does he do it a second time?

short radish
chrome fern
#

yeah fair,

short radish
#

so like 3 seconds of symbols wastage every time

#

as well

barren haven
#

!wa

fallen depot
#

gotcha the 2nd sectec in cds do we need to rupture prior too

#

or is it good to send with a back stab

barren lance
#

I’m just leveling but damn first dungeon yesterday and the bear tank did so much more dps than I at all times pretty much. Not much of a rotation to do yet ofc and crappy items even for my low level. So help inspire me so I don’t swap out of rogue and sub right away 😄

#

What are the best things about playing sub?

short radish
#

so can be evis if your rupture will last long enough

#

i always just send rupture though

#

because im monkey and sometimes rupture ru ns out

short radish
#

get used to that

#

best part about sub is doing big damage on demand

#

worst part of sub is not doing big damage outside those moments

#

but either way

#

nothing matters when levelling

#

just enjoy levelling

barren lance
maiden oar
#

but sub kinda doesnt come together until youre done leveling

short radish
#

nothing really comes together until youre done levelling and get gear and tier

short radish
#

but good thing there are also 2 other rogue specs that can be played

#

but again again

#

nothing matters in the levelling process

#

other than having fun

rocky ocean
#

leveling a rogus is 💀

barren lance
barren lance
# short radish sub does have a bit of a learning curve

I don’t have much time to play, but I spend my whole workdays rehearsing ramps and rotations in my head, planning out raid encounters etc, so I’m here for the learning 😄 Just gotta find that target dummy time too…

short radish
#

what level are you?

barren lance
#

Bah, 22, playing with wife and other friends so no rush

short radish
#

hahaha

#

yeah

barren lance
#

Except I want to get to the fun parts of sub

short radish
#

honestly mate

#

just turn off damage meters

#

you're levelling with friends

random comet
#

i turned off damage numbers and it took me half a key to realise it was the best thing ever

barren lance
#

Yeah I suppose, figured it could be a good tool for checking out what my abilities do 🙂

#

Haha alright maybe

vagrant thorn
haughty saddle
#

is rupture spreading a priority?

solemn sonnet
#

only when tank is grouping and outside cds

short radish
#

nothing wrong with that, you can look at what your abilities do and try and practice

#

but for example

#

you don't get a lot of what your end game talent stuff is

#

which defines the build

#

eg secret technique isn't gettable till level 29

#

flagellation which is our main source of burst damage isnt until like level 60

chrome fern
#

levelling rogue has to be the worst class to level

short radish
#

you can't really practice driving a car with 1 wheel, no brakes and an exhaust pipe

chrome fern
#

you just don't have abilities that are required till so far in

vagrant thorn
#

just level entirely in dungeons :p

maiden oar
#

sub without shadowcraft is so much less fun

chrome fern
#

no energy regen, no increased total energy, you just sit there pressing backstab like a monkey

modest river
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
chrome fern
#

you dont get dance till something like lkevel 30 iirc

short radish

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

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".

short radish
#

rogue is probably one of the worst levelling specs

#

but don't worry it gets better once you reach max level and get gear

#

(nobody tell him)

chrome fern
#

your talent trees enable your energy, things like bonus energy when symbols, or when you dance

barren lance
barren lance
short radish
#

you can press symbols of death to get energy back

#

thats about it

barren lance
#

The tea is out of meta atm? That’s energy stuff too isn’t it…

short radish
#

yeah

#

sub rogue is one of those specs though

#

when you are doing damage

#

energy isnt a concern

#

when youre not doing damage

#

energy also isnt a concern

chrome fern
#

talents really enable you in cd's, kinda to the point where you feel like you have infinite energy

short radish
#

because youre not doing damage

barren lance
#

Well it does sound like a really cool spec

short radish
#

we have one of the highest burst damages in the game

#

that isnt affected by bloodlust

barren lance
#

Sub does match my need for learning and practice, complexity, at least…

rocky ocean
chrome fern
#

crit/mastery bloodlust when

rocky ocean
#

they should add talent that converts haste into bp damage

#

frees them some time buffing it themselves

scenic plover
#

is shuriken toss a button thats actually used?

chrome fern
#

probs by the one button thing, assassin has poisoned knife in there

rocky ocean
scenic plover
#

prism?

chrome fern
#

lol, the trinket, but if you needing shuriken toss to proc it, means you sitting outta melee for 10s, and got bigger problems

void needle
#

When you physically can't hit the boss sometimes I'll throw a couple, more cope than actually useful lmao

dusk stone
void needle
#

^

scenic plover
#

right now i got it bound on q but if its not really used i might just ditch it

lucid jackal
#

Only useful for world quests

void needle
#

Having some sort of ranged is nice for tagging mobs

#

But usefulness in keys and raid is pretty nonexistent

chrome fern
#

nah send it in dance for macabre stack

#

😄

#

inb4 midnight tier set makes that a thing

lucid jackal
#

The last time shuriken toss was put into our rotation was in BFA, and it was an undertuned azerite trait u didnt take, and then got reworked in the first minor patch of the expansion

void needle
#

Make it bounce across mobs like crazy and deal insane damage, maybe instead of a little shuriken throw a glaive or something

scenic plover
#

:)

void needle
#

Call it throw glaive

#

That would be pretty cool

chrome fern
#

Aldrachi trickster, new hero tlaent

scenic plover
#

also maybe give rogue double jump and eye beam

void needle
#

I already have double jump

#

I play dracthyr

#

Maybe they should make a whole raid boss about all three of our specs

slender beacon
#

How much of a damage increase is 2 set and 4 set respectfully

#

Still rocking 4set from season 2 and getting stomped on charts >_<

short radish
#

!tier

wicked joltBOT
#

Tier set:
Best Slots: Head, Chest, Hands, Legs
Strength: 2p (~10% dps) | 4p (~20% dps) -> Combined: ~30%.
Note: Try to get the 4set asap.

chrome fern
slender beacon
#

Holy shit

rocky ocean
slender beacon
#

Interesting

#

Ty fellas!

void needle
#

You guys are getting stomped without 4p? Maybe st raid bosses a little bit, but I actually feel pretty competitive in m+ already

chrome fern
#

im getting stomped in raid on my dh with 2p 0pc

finite carbon
scenic plover
#

does sub struggle with downtime like outlaw does?

still depot
#

!coup

chrome fern
#

sub is downtime

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
rocky ocean
tulip gorge
#

so you guys play with thistle tea or with cold blood?

shy scarab
lucid jackal
#

Tea build is cope

#

play this build in keys

#

Feels solid, doesn't feel like a burden on ST

tulip gorge
#

I mean the tea build is not that big of a loss in ST

#

but it's comfier to play

scenic plover
tulip gorge
#

do we not shuriken storm to apply FW anymore in aoe?

lucid jackal
#

It costs ST so I don't like it

#

U can play rotten if u want

lucid jackal
#

Just the no tornado shit is good

limpid sage
#

Iirc finality over rotten was only like 0.6% for me on st

spring elm
#

so after our opener how are we using dance. do you do 2 dances before your next flag?

lucid jackal
tight arch
#

quick question in m+ where is more then 7 targets and when I am in CDs I do shuriken into black powder right... ofc coup and secret

spring elm
spring elm
#

Ohh that makes sense

vivid nest
#

guys why do the top rogues appear as playing sub but when you click the profile they are assa

#

is sub strong only with gear or what

void needle
#

Nah, I 80 parsed without 4 set

#

People just aren't good at sub

lucid jackal
#

Sub kinda needs prism to be playable

void needle
#

Don't have that either

#

I'm still stuck with wrathstone

vivid nest
#

can you share the parse then so i can see what youre doing pls

void needle
#

Once I get out of raid if I remember to

lusty root
#

I have prism and Lilly and I’m still trying to figure out how to best use both

spring elm
#

the stats on WCL show sub as one of the worst specs

lusty root
#

What stats?

plucky parrot
#

must be true then

spring elm
#

DPS rankings

plucky parrot
#

it's because the majority of public logs only cover the first 3 bosses (where sub struggles against other pure st specs outside of soulbinder)

#

can reference the fights where sub shines if you want a more accurate gauge (soulbinder, araz, nexus king, dimensius)

lucid jackal
#

Yeah reference mythic dimensius garf_sit

spring elm
#

Yeah our pure single target is one of the worst

#

Nimble flurry is carrying the spec

plucky parrot
lucid jackal
#

But yeah WCL statistics page is just very useless

#

IT says arms is the second best spec in raid garf_sit

plucky parrot
lucid jackal
#

U have to use ur thinking cap to really understand the damage amps + big damage = good this raid

plucky parrot
#

that last minute aura buff is doing god's work

#

surely

real hare
#

!poison

#

what poisons do we use

short radish
#

and then whatever you feel like on your other one

#

crippling if you need slow

#

mind numbing if you want to slow casts

#

atrophic for raid probably

proper latch
#

Can you pre-cloak circles on the first boss in the raid?

grave shore
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tight arch
#

What do we use to gain cps in Aoe with more then 7 mobs in CDs? Shadwostrike to proc coup?

vale pine
#

strike

#

you always strike in dance

#

(outside of tier set min/max)

tight arch
#

Thanks ye first I need to get down basic rotation b4 I can start min maxing set 😄

void needle
#

I wish that target dummies would let you reset cd's

limpid sage
#

Anyone know a consistent way of getting Disorienting Strikes cheese without secteccing before dying? Like is there a toy you can use in raid to get it or something

vocal pine
#

guys as sub rogue when I should use CD's / burst windows during raid boss fights ?

limpid sage
#

so either when lots of adds are spawning or dmg amp is up

vale pine
#

^^

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 than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
vale pine
#

thats why its "not recommended"

#

its a nice to have, but nothing you try to force

limpid sage
#

Have you tested what the Disoriented cheese gives with vanish opener?

vale pine
#

vanish opener is slightly better with disoriented

limpid sage
#

it's most likely due to small sample size, but I feel like I deal way more dmg in my opener with vanish opener when using the cheese

vale pine
#

yes

#

thats correct

limpid sage
#

what is "slightly"?

#

if you remember

vale pine
#

its maybe 1.5% instead of 1.2%

#

the impact is not big

#

but its a gain

limpid sage
#

ah okay

vale pine
#

but its an optimization

#

and vanish in general is fairly flexible

#

so why not

limpid sage
#

and that's with combat length variance right?

tepid trellis
#

sims have that build in

#

so yeh

umbral fulcrum
tepid trellis
#

if rupture wont last

limpid sage
#

because I'd imagine it's even better without it in some cases

tepid trellis
#

entire burst

#

you pre redot

#

before going in

vale pine
#

so its a good thing to refresh strategically

umbral fulcrum
#

do i just sit on my hands entirely with fully cp waiting to refresh rupture if i see a cd window coming up

tepid trellis
#

re-apply if its falling off, if not yes

#

just sit at max cp when flag hits 10 sec

#

and press backstab when you are about to overcap energy

umbral fulcrum
#

roger

#

sub seemed a lot harder to pick up than what i’m experiencing hitting a dummy

#

esp if i can literally do nothing to prepare for a cd window

lucid jackal
#

The spec has a reputation of being harder than it actually is

glacial kraken
radiant cedar
#

hello sub chads, currently im dummy practicing on 3 targets assuming its a raid scenario. do i ever black powder on 3 targets or just spam eviscerate with nimble flurry up?

#

regardless of shadow dance

tepid trellis
#

what id do on 3 targets

#

Evis if flawless form is up

#

if it drops press BP

radiant cedar
#

seems like thats how its reading on wowhead to me

#

ty ty

glacial kraken
#

Did we used to do a 1cp nightblade into a full cp one in Legion?

#

or am i misremembering

void needle
upbeat sorrel
#

are you guys using the versa belt power

vale pine
#

Subtlety is hard because it has concepts other specs don't have

#

inherently, its not hard to use cooldowns together

#

many classes do so

#

but no other spec/class has multiple stacks of cooldowns

#

and cdr on them

#

and multiple maintainance debuffs/dots

formal helm
vale pine
#

so people inherently perform worse before at least getting the basics down

#

i saw people in higher keys move from competitive overall damage

#

to 1-2 mil overall

#

simply by switching to subtlety from assassiantion

#

the management part is not trivial, and you get punished for mistakes

timber crow
#

I'm quite new to Sub. Does anyone know how to properly track if my next backstab will apply Unseen Blade?

vale pine
#

!wa

formal helm
vale pine
#

le's weakaura has a estimate for ub

#

there is no reliable way to track it

#

blizz design decision^^

formal helm
#

Well technically I went from sub to assa and did that low dmg

#

Fkin assa

vale pine
#

haha

limpid sage
vale pine
#

i am surprised

timber crow
#

ah ok i have a estimate already but i hoped there was a better way

vale pine
#

lets say it this way

limpid sage
#

everytime something clicked you instantly saw it on meters

vale pine
#

my overall on assa on dummy was very good

#

simply installing and fallowing hekili

limpid sage
#

and there's still a lot to optimize I feel

vale pine
#

XD

formal helm
#

But in m+ I had no feeling what to press kinda?

#

And felt...slow?

gentle venture
#

is there a sub guide that anyone would recommend for someone switching from sin while it's broken af to try and learn sub in the short term

formal helm
#

Mby just too used to sub

vale pine
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

pick your poison all of them are good

limpid sage
gentle venture
#

the wowhead guide felt very inaccessable

formal helm
#

(Pick all 3 guides)

vale pine
#

inaccessable?

#

wdym

gentle venture
#

the rotation for example, both the graphic and the "explanation" part, just did not feel very "new to sub" friendly and I found it very hard to follow

vale pine
#

how would you change it to be accessible?

#

like inherently

#

the picture shows the key press of the opener

gentle venture
#

I could not answer that, I'm not a guide writer, so I don't know what would make it feel more accessible, I can just say that I did not find it easy to follow/understand.

vale pine
#

and the explenation does go over the decision making

gentle venture
#

like #2 isn't even labeled as what ability that is, I had to look it up to figure out it was flagellation cause the icon has changed, I thought it was gloomblade

willow bobcat
#

The explanation has the ability name in it....

vale pine
#

there is a alternative versio too

#

which suppots mouseover

#

but thats hidden behind a toggle

gentle venture
#

...

vale pine
#

i mean okay fair

#

you did not know the ability and did not want to look at the explenation tab

#

which def. is harder to understand then

#

i can understand that

half dragon
#

the one thing that kinda threw me when i first looked at it was the dance into 5 on the optimization, like it almost implies dance straight into shadowstrike and then technique

#

had to verify with a sim that i wasnt crazy and that it didnt make sense lol

gentle venture
#

it's ok, nvm, please forget I asked.

vale pine
#

i am just asking for feedback

#

because you used the phrase "inaccessable", which is fairly brutal given that i spend a lot of time to try to make it easy to understand visually and with explenations

willow bobcat
#

Didnt beam the information straight into my brain, guide sucks

gentle venture
#

^ that is the problem with asking

#

fuck off Geogaffr

tribal blade
#

if you cannot figure out ability names that are literally written right there i dunno what to say

willow bobcat
#

You didnt even put in the bare minimum of effort man.

indigo drift
#

The guides are all fine, the problem is people are too lazy to read

vale pine
#

don't be harsh

#

like its perfectly fine if there is somehting to improve on

uncut bloom
#

The visual guide is there, there's an explanation of the abilities and why you use them. Seems fairly straightforward to me.

vale pine
#

i just would like what peoples expectations are

#

not "i am not a guide writer"

leaden prairie
proven plover
#

Nothing

vale pine
#

you can't read it

spring pumice
#

I'm completely new to sub (and rogue) too and for what it's worth everything was clear to me (even though sub is very overwhelming to learn from scratch lmao)

proven plover
#

There are no names aswell

leaden prairie
#

ah really

vale pine
#

because the sequence is too long

leaden prairie
#

cause on pc being able to mouseover the icons

#

is kinda op

vale pine
#

ye

gentle venture
#

right, I didn't spend over an hour last night reading the guide and looking at icyveins before coming here to ask. I know asking questions in ravenholdt is the biggest taboo, "just sim it" is a fucking icon you can spam at people, but yeah, no effort was put in

vale pine
#

huh?

gentle venture
#

not replying to you fuu

willow bobcat
#

Hes mad at me cause I made a joke and it hit a nerve.

spring pumice
#

I mean "I'm not a guidewriter" when the guy is asking for feedback is completely unreasonable lol

vale pine
#

vs. the timeline

proven plover
#

Maybe just put the ability Labels instead of the order numbers below icons

#

In a small font

vale pine
#

would be possible too

#

i like the mouseover part

#

i hoped wowhead would fix the scaling problem ^^

plucky parrot
#

A small "key" section might make sense in the blank space of the timeline

#

so at a glance all the info is in one place

tribal blade
#

i honestly don't think it's necessary, but could be helpful

vale pine
#

think its a problem of redability then

indigo drift
#

To say 'I dunno what number 2 is cause the icons changed', that's on you, the icon is the same in game, if you're too lazy to check what it was then that's not down to Fuu that you dunno what it is

vale pine
#

i think its fair critique

half dragon
#

@vale pine can you explain why the secret technique is moved to step 6 in the optimization and we dont backstab at all? since it doesnt match the sims

vale pine
#

wdym

half dragon
willow bobcat
#

This part

half dragon
#

yeah it doesnt make sense to me

willow bobcat
#

First Sec Tec before Cold Blood Sec tec

vale pine
#

could add backstab to the sequence too

#

so its less confusing

half dragon
#

that legit made me sit and scratch my head for 10 min because i couldnt see the logic lmao

#

so i just simmed it and checked what sim did

vale pine
#

ye, can change it later

#

good point, i forgot about that

willow bobcat
#

Now thats how you provide feedback. Gold Star

spring elm
#

I saw on logs someone symbols -> CB sectec -> dance in the opener after first dance is that optimal

#

assuming dance was then active after sectec delay

willow bobcat
spring elm
#

Sorry i typed that wrong. I meant they did their first dance/sec tec, that one ended than hit that sequence with full combo points into 2nd dance

vale pine
#

i think secret before dance

#

seems weird

#

dance-secret is fine

#

and if you macro the two

#

you will send cb + secret there

#

which is a roughly 1-1.5% damage loss overall

#

iirc

#

but its not that bad espeically if you learn the spec or don't play mythic

willow bobcat
half dragon
#

i mean it sounds like the lust opener? where u are still in first dance

spring elm
#

Oh that makes sense, i thought dance had ended

leaden prairie
#

cause the mouseover part is so op

vagrant fulcrum
vale pine
vagrant fulcrum
#

not much to do with your guidewriting

#

im currently having a headache figuring out how im going to play second night of araz

vale pine
#

i specifically asked if i can use the pictures because i got many dm's saying the guide is useless on mobile

vagrant fulcrum
#

that's more to do with wowhead on mobile no?

vale pine
#

yes

vagrant fulcrum
#

I think expectations need to be managed, this isn't the kind of spec you pick up in 10 minutes

vale pine
#

hmm ye

#

maybe there are ways to improve things

vagrant fulcrum
#

the amount of times i send sectec without dance up

#

omfg

#

and the entire pull is bricked from that one mistake

vale pine
#

subtlety is the spec you lose a lot for mistakes

#

sadly

vagrant fulcrum
#

onto more constructive topics

#

what's with the difference in talents

#

between reccomended araz and logs

vale pine
#

talents are fairly flexible

vagrant fulcrum
#

you reccomend this

#

r1 uses

void ocean
#

flexible in terms of everyone playing st build everywhere 😄

vale pine
#

haha true

vagrant fulcrum
#

like I get we dont use tfd in araz

willow bobcat
#

TFD is just in the standard ST build

vagrant fulcrum
#

lowkey I think im just gonna try to cook the build with the easiest gameplay

#

i cant get used to this spec in a day after not touching it since s1

vale pine
#

give me a moment, need to do something quick

#

but we can discuss talents after

half dragon
#

i mean tfd probably just loses value because of the amp phase, so u dont do as much of ur damage at the start

vagrant fulcrum
#

ye, tfd is good bc we get the extra duration in cds

upbeat sorrel
#

if we are outside of dance but we have coup do we hold it or whats the play

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 Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism

idk sims doesnt seem to press bp at all so idk if its outdated or not

quiet zephyr
#

guys what the tldr difference between sub, outlaw, assa rn? are all 3 viable?

hollow spear
#

In what context?

#

Sim definitely uses bp in aoe

half dragon
#

well yes, but for st coup de grace optimization

hollow spear
#

It's not an optimisation

upbeat sorrel
#

sub or ass depends on the boss

acoustic matrix
vagrant fulcrum
half dragon
quiet zephyr
#

whats preferable for m+? Or same thing applies all 3 are viable

hollow spear
#

You can press bp if you need cdr

#

If you have enough you might as well not

quiet zephyr
#

i just noticed i wasnt seeing much assa in raider io

acoustic matrix
#

Yeah cause it's bugged rn

hollow spear
#

And youd only press bp if you have coup up

short radish
#

likewise with gear questions

acoustic matrix
#

Most rogues switched to Sub

short radish
#

it's a meme to just go sim

#

but it's also true

half dragon
hollow spear
#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

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 Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

#

@vale pine i've yet to get an answer on this, why are we not macroing sectec to blades

half dragon
vale pine
#

because you use blades with cold blood

#

so sounds weird to macro?

vagrant fulcrum
#

ok wait what

vale pine
#

*don't use

#

so essentially

vagrant fulcrum
#

thats fine

vale pine
#

you would want to macro cold blood and secret

vagrant fulcrum
#

id have blades + sectec (no cb)

#

then cb the 2nd sectec

vale pine
#

but in a way to have the option to not use cold blood

upbeat sorrel
#

ya i just have 2 sec tec's one with cb one without

#

blades is macro'd with my trinket

vale pine
#

so you would need to macro blades to the non cold blood version?

vagrant fulcrum
#

yes

vale pine
#

i guess you could do that

vagrant fulcrum
#

well its wrong to say blades to sec

half dragon
#

i mean then you would still need another sectec keybind

vagrant fulcrum
#

its better to say im macroing sectec to blades

vale pine
#

i was just confused

half dragon
#

for when u use it before blades

vagrant fulcrum
#

yes ofc

vale pine
#

i mean it does not matter if you use it before or after secret

#

as long as clones get it

vagrant fulcrum
#

whats the optimisation for never pressing cb outside of blades

#

%wise

#

loss

vale pine
#

i am unsure what you ask for

weak flame
#

heyo do we have a weak aura to pre symbol in raid
a reminder

vagrant fulcrum
#

and doing very well

#

it can't be a massive loss

vale pine
#

thats how you use it

keen dome
#

We CB the second SecTec in blades as it's at the peak of our damage window.

vale pine
#

you only use cb

#

2nd secret technique

cursive island
#

Yo guy's on big pulls I feel like doing more dmg by doing the ST rotation rather than BP... Does it have anything to do with sprea find weakness ?

keen dome
#

It's like.. 1.5% or something iirc?

vale pine
#

during lag/blades

vagrant fulcrum
#

we never cb outside of it?

#

what the]

vale pine
#

yes

vagrant fulcrum
#

ok that simplifies things a lot

Do we no longer refresh symbols at 3 seconds?

vagrant fulcrum

which normally doesn't line up with symbols at 3

tepid trellis
#

tbf it kinda plays itself

short radish
#

play what you want

tepid trellis
#

i can admit im not thinking about my rotation when im playing in raid

vagrant fulcrum
#

I think you also have a lot more hours on sub than me or the average player + better player in general

graceful terrace
fierce minnow
#

Stealthi is just pressing buttons

keen dome
#

Sub just needs practice

vagrant fulcrum
#

sin just isn't functional on that fight, you're like 20% behind sub

short radish
keen dome
#

A lot of it makes sense like. You don't dance after X seconds left on flag. You only CB the second SecTec in cooldowns. You do a 2 - 1 - 2 sequence betweenc ooldowns of dances.

short radish
#

and outside dance is backstab soup

hollow spear
#

Once it clicks it clicks

keen dome
#

The spec is really easy once you get comfortable with the relatively complex rules

vagrant fulcrum
#

the issue is ill get 1 mechanic or have dodges, stop paying attention to the rotation

graceful terrace
hollow spear

Then it becomes more about optimising your dances for optimal pad priority damage

fierce minnow
vale pine

just means you use flag/blades + 2x symbols + 2x secret + 2x dance
and in between symols+dance+secret if possible

#

thats the very top level baseline gameplay

hollow spear
#

Grok, please write a tldr

vale pine
#

XD

hollow spear
#

My favourite memory was when I saw someone in here asking for a streamer because they're a "visual learner". Then I saw them in Kush's (or maybe shindig's) chat asking them questions about the rotation.

vale pine
#

i mean kush/perfecto/speed/casual are probably the rogues you find playing subtlety

#

so not bad

#

it is probably easier to ask questions in here, but everyone their preferences

fierce minnow
#

kush is exceptional at playing but horrible at explaining anything... the guy just talks nonesense all day 😄

#

cant imagine anything good comes from letting him explain things on stream. its all memes

hollow spear
#

People complain about rude answers to dumb questions here

#

They haven't chatted on Kush's stream yet

fierce minnow
#

i mean anyone looking at this (fuu guide) and going like "yeah i´d rather ask some streamer about rotation" is completely delusional. it doesnt get any better than this

hollow spear
#

It's not very beginner friendly

vale pine
#

haha

half dragon
#

i mean there are a lot of situational things that are very fair to ask a streamer

vale pine
#

i mean streamers are there for entertainment

#

so thats expected

hollow spear
#

It doesn't text to speech the ability name when hovering

half dragon
#

obviously kush isnt the best to ask, hes probably going to give u a meme answer

vale pine
#

thats true

hollow spear
#

I watch kush for high level gameplay, not for education

vale pine
#

but if you want to watch some higher level keys in terms of gameplay

#

why not

#

you can still learn decision making

fierce minnow
#

but you need to have a really good understanding of the spec to begin with to even see whats going on

vale pine
#

i would just say

#

you ened to have a certain amount of knowlage

fierce minnow
#

like try watching zac play outlaw and listen to baguette music

#

you have no idea whats even happening

#

you learn zip from that

vale pine
#

my point

hollow spear
#

Yeah I just have a problem with people coming here or their chat and asking questions that just prove that they haven't read any guide for just a second

vale pine
#

you need a certain baseline understanding

#

about abilities/cooldowns

#

then you can see how they are used

#

then again, everyone learns diffrently

hollow spear
#

Some even preface that they've read three guides and cannot answer the first question you ask

vale pine
#

and most of the visual learners want a youtube guide, which is just a diffrent medium

hollow spear
#

That's like me back in the day when my drums teacher asked me if had practiced what he showed me last time

#

Yeah four days

fierce minnow
#

haha

hollow spear
#

(didn't even look at my drums once)

vale pine
#

just to be nerdy, visual learning does not exist. It is just a phrase people like to use to express preferences

fierce minnow
#

classic

vale pine
#

there are several studies to just outline tha basically

#

giving more options and putting more effort in teaching

#

means you get better results

#

funnily enough

hollow spear
#

I'm learning by fucking it up four hundred times

vale pine
#

the test groups who got somone to talk to and react to their questions

#

had the best results

#

outdoing visual video guides by big margins

hollow spear
#

Asking is great

vale pine
#

but that seems fairly obviouse

#

if you can directly interact

#

its always the best way to learn

#

because you can get answers exactly to the specific question you have at hand

hollow spear
#

Or questioning why things are the way they are described in a guide

#

All good

fierce minnow
#

i think many will just have to take a coaching session

vale pine
#

its super easy to get stuck in a small detail

fierce minnow
#

its the most efficient use of their time

#

instead of studying streams for little gain

vale pine
#

also possible

#

there are many options

#

i personally am not a big fan of coaching

hollow spear
#

You do some log reviews of people asking about peak min maxing and their flag window looks like a Jackson pollock

half dragon
#

that reminds me, ive got a question, for every non cd dance+symbols, do you always want to backstab before the sectec?

lilac stag
vale pine
#

i talked with stealthi and eleem about it yesteday a bit

#

a lot of logs i get posted in dm's recently

#

just don't use their 90 sec cooldowns efficiently

fierce minnow
vale pine
#

means they often use flag/blades every 3-4 minutes

fierce minnow
#

i was like... bruh

short radish
hollow spear
vale pine

#

like

vale pine
#

because

short radish
#

first use at 0:00

tepid trellis
short radish
#

2nd use at 3:00

vale pine
#

think of it like this

short radish
#

?

vale pine
#

you know your big cooldowns do big damage

lilac stag
fierce minnow
#

its easy to fuck up blades in keys

vale pine
#

so you just keep "holding" them

half dragon
short radish
#

oh keys

#

right

vale pine
#

for the perfect moment

short radish
#

yeah that makes sense

vale pine
#

yes

short radish
#

thats a common m+ thing

fierce minnow
#

if you use blades at 20% hp mobs

#

you are dusted

vale pine
#

so people often sit very long on coldowns

short radish
#

people want to hold for the most efficient time

vale pine
#

which means their performance sucks ofc

tepid trellis
#

you would dance-sectech-backstab

#

in the case of full cp

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

its like that with all specs fwiw

vale pine
#

everyone makes mistakes

#

^

open depot
#

If the raid leader want my cds on a specific moment he better assign them as I am a melee player and I am dumb as bricks. We pop on cd

tepid trellis
#

too many factors happening in encounters

half dragon
short radish
#

yeah it's a very low/medium level mistake for any key doers

#

they don't treat the entire dungeon as one long boss fight

vale pine
#

like anecdotally some rogues in the wfr forgot to do the symbols pre pull cheese

lilac stag
#

Some specs just are forgiving in not being “perfect”. looks at assa

tepid trellis
#

in the 10+ mil overall eco i did

short radish
#

and as a result don't understand that holding for 1 minute here, 1 minute there means you've lost a cast in the dungeon

tepid trellis
#

i fucked up quite badly before a big pull

#

was too aggresive with dances

#

and didn't have enough cdr for 2x dances in burst

limpid sage
tepid trellis
#

so had to delay 10-15sec

limpid sage
#

without knowing anything about the study you're talking about

lilac stag
#

Trying to understand keys are just one big boss encounter goes a long way in playing sub better in keys imo

vale pine
#

it does not matter what medium

limpid sage
#

I guess that's also why people come here with questions that are already on wowhead

vale pine
#

w/e if its text/images/video/audio

#

in a study for american education

lilac stag
#

Sooo much attention given to small minmix while you’re missing major things like 3 blades casts over the entirety of the key.

vale pine
#

test scores went up 30%+ by using ai instead of regular teachers

#

XD

short radish
#

people just keep holding cds

vale pine
#

probably shows some problems in the us educaiton system

limpid sage
#

I think that's a worldwide thing

vale pine
#

but also the potential, to have an program answer even the stupid questions you would not be able to ask a teacher

lilac stag
vale pine
#

its a super inetressting thing

#

i personally would probably use ai assisted learning if it wasn't so unreliable

#

unreliable = it makes stuff up easy

vestal escarp

a bit

but outside of the pure st fights

its great

in gameplay i mean

buff evis 20%, nerf bp 10%

vale pine

don't think you need to nerf bp

vestal escarp
#

???

#

just buffs bro

kindred dock
#

i'm afraid of nerfs.. 😕 it feels good atm

vestal escarp
#

we left the ehtics behind

limpid sage

wouldn't we be godtier in keys if no nerfs

vale pine
#

bp replaces evis at one point

#

ofc you still coup

limpid sage
#

ah true

vestal escarp
vale pine
#

but i don't think you rly need to nerf bp

#

evis ofc would increase our aoe

but we are not out of line in aoe output

better than fdk

anyone know how they decide that?

on certain fights

limpid sage

my guess is, that they dont will nerf us. maybe some classes get buffs instead.

tepid trellis
#

breakdown in my eco dome, was looking quite fine

limpid sage

is the initial hit of sectec 33% of its dmg?

#

not accounting for phys dmg vs shadow

tepid trellis
#

no its smaller

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

like 20% or so

tribal blade
#

so sub rogues have the highest average score atm

limpid sage
#

isn't it more worth to sblades when the 2nd and 3rd hit are coming in then?

#

you get 1 extra gcd of blades

tepid trellis
#

doesent matter

as in it's neutral simwise?

yes

ah ok

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
limpid sage
#

then I'll stop doing it, because sometimes it desyncs my flag and blades slightly which is way worse lol
