So, funnel can be prio but prio not always funnel
you can foucs a mop and prioritize the part of the damage to this target
and because 50%+ of wow pop is hunters and rets who can only single target or pad and no inbetween
it does not increase if you get more targets like funnel does
subelty had shuriken combo in the past
which did increase your evis damage when you hit targets with storm
this did lead to the funnel damage profile
im still traumatised from HoA "funneling" into the golems and losing on damage to the warlocks spamming RoF into it
tho this was just purged without real compensation
because funnel was stated to be too strong of a niche
sub is still paying for the sins of zul

luckily it does not ^^
yeah no classes have funnel
also old flag hit way harder and wasnt only for the buff no?
hate flag
i remember casting it manually yes
mm sbs
but i remember more to pop flag and delete some prios in big pulls
Thanks for the details @vale pine
every time you used it on a new target, all active dots did trigger and do damage to the main target
I miss Kevin
no problem, hope the diffrence is easier to understand
didnt it also fill cps after 2 or 3 targets?
oh and it was ranged too lulle
even funnier
there was a bug
the dot would continue to count on dead targets
so what people did on beta was
pull a huge amount of mobs
still does kinda
and gather them around a boss
all of them dead and dottet
then pop bone spike on the boss
yes but you have to use rupture which dont always want
and watch the boss getting oneshot
back then you just send sbs
by the secondary triggers from each of the dead corpses
all rets pad wdym
as soon as 2 red nameplates
divine stormmmmm
2targets? guess its time for a storm
my class is sandbagging without a crafted 2h?
one of them is immune? divine storm
time to shut down the discord until blizzard buffs
true
rogues sandbag by not crafting 2h weapons
smh
there was this chinese cooked build briefly for like 3 weeks in s1 where you could unbind templars verdict and just divine storm on single target
it was like 2% behind the regular ST build
and as soon as you get a single mob in there it's ahead
peak gameplay
we had some stupid game play too
this is sounding a bit familiar...
e.g. assassisantion had a bug they would use only fan of knives as combo point builder and even not use finisher outside of maintaining their dots for energy
it was like mid season cook as well
peak gameplay
outlaw had a azerite trait you would only use snd as finisher
what other spec has a hero tree where their aoe finisher is very close to being pressed in st 
i think it got some play on broodtwister and the duo boss
sub had no azerite traits 
XD
black powder has been buffed by 13%
i think subtleties tree design is benefitial in some sense
we can get aoe and st with low trade offs
so we don't need to decide
theoretcally would mean the spec should always be the go-to choice in raiding/m+
playing feral is pain after bossfights
sadly tuning and some other problems are in our way
to be fair
idk what the next xpac will bring
but it might be some reworks to the baseline tree
Rogue class tree is gonna be in a weird spot with the new talent points being added
i really hope we just get some QoL stuff
and not huge change ups
this current iteration of sub for all its faults
is acutally really good
idk, looking at the DK tree
i feel like it will be wild
but lets see once blizz drops more info
a load of fun for other classes, and panic in the dicord until we get 4 lines of blue text a week before launch
i don't know
outlaw def. gets a change
it was name dropped
subtlety is in the happy gray zone
gunslinger inc
where technically, gameplay is fun
rouge class tree is kinda bottom heavy
but also, there is a lot of qol improvements you can have
also blizz is big on approachability
this area is kinda nuts
at least they did say in their interviews
compared to the other triple dps trees
that they want all specs to be more approachable
and i feel like subtlety is one of the specs people avoid because its not that good in that reguard
i think this is kind of fine other than deeper strat being mandatory
e.g. shadowcraft is a good example
they say that but feral still has snapshotting
people still come in discord
some mildly interesting choices
at how many stacks should i be using netherprism? i assume i dont rip it off start since its at like 1 stack
"bro, why do i get random cp refunds"
and they read the tooltip
and still don't understand how it works
its just a bit odd compared to the others
The vanish row being useless for sub is kinda sus too
i mean its just collateral damage
useless on one spec, interesting choice on another, mandatory on a 3rd
idk im not convinced people who dont understand cp refunds from shadowcraft have actually read what it does xd
kinda cool
the dev team decided to specifically make changes to subterfuge to make it good for assassiantion
where we not just told to ignore tooltips. 
its because they also need to read shadow techniques
but felt like subtlety is not worth the same effort
poor sectech
gaslamped by blizzard
rogue in general
having these 5 pillars of throughput at the bottom, while mage, lock and hunter have them sprinkled throughout their trees
and shadowtechniques tooltip was kinda shit
bottom line is, they didn't tread specs as equally important with changes
its still kinda shit
i think the idea of rogue general tree is good
you have a lot of agency in the utility rows
I think sub is in a favorable position in that it doesn't take a full rework to make it more accessible, just some very minor things that don't necessarily dumb down gameplay
streamlining
and the bottom is dps rows, which is the best placement to allow decisions
combine dance + symbols
make sectech only castable in dance
combine flag and blades
remove FW
Rework flag into a netherprism type cd 
holy shit sub is solved
i like that idea
real
this would be the biggest windmill dunk from half-court ever
yeah that'd acutally be insane
its absolutely thematic for sub
lean even further into our burst
perfect gameplay integration
id like to see shadowheart and maybe rushed setup replaced with a poison dispel and an actual aoe stun 
how tf is goremaws still around
its also collateral damage
it was a short term solution to fill the tree
its capstone-worthy
but never done anything with it
can be a tuning knob
I think shadowheart is fine conceptually, it just doesnt work 
the sylvanas dagger effect would fit perfectly in that spot
has positive gameplay implications
haha
having execute would be kinda nice
make EoN replace PV
netherprism is cool and it would be nice to see it in the tree
and swap spots with inev
sure or master poisoner removed and baked in baseline or something
but never rly made to be fun
to fix pathing stuff
option for real utility would be good
Inev being in PV spot would be amazing
id also like tier to be in the new trickster tree
Just a refresh of our utility options would be welcome
i also think secret should be not targeted
no more needing to take pv to get 2/2 finality or db builds
make shroud usable again
why do i need a target for flag, can't it be on me instead of the target?
baking flag damage into a buff for blades would be good
i just got my netherprism and currently my bast simming trinkets are netherprism+lily, is it possible to make a macro that alternate using them or am I forced into 2 different buttons?
how does this work with it doing double damage to main target tho
i like the prio aspect
Yeah that's what is a bugbear for me is shroud like... they added all this stuff to make it so you can now pot to shadowmeld skip things which otherwise aren't skippable
!macro
I'd like if it was reversed into a funnel ability
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.
why not just remove the stupid eyeball
so shroud can do the same thing the meld skip does
clones do damage to everything and a portion is funneled into the main target
speedshroud was one of the best things you can add
that wouldn't work tho because lily has 90s cooldown, wouldn't it always use just the first trinket?
speedshroud very overlooked imo
i would use seperate key binds for double on use
without truesight in some places you'd get some pretty grim routes
you get a roar/windrush
some areas just have too many eyes

I guess my thing is like if they have the truesight stuff which you can bypass with a meld skip, be it bubbles, the two palookas before final boss in floodgate, whatever, like... shroud in effect would do the same thing if it weren't for truesight
honestly truesight seems like a dev's revenge for people skipping shitty mob placement
the worst part is that they can just fix it by making the shitty mobs worth not skipping
yep
but that'd be too hard
case and point, those two enforcers before last boss in FG
whoever thought of putting two of them there
needs help
legitimately one of the most annoying pulls of the season
even worse
How so?
is there any harm in doing the macro this way instead of with shadow dance?:
#showtooltip Flagellation
/cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Flagellation
This feels more natural, but there might be downsides that I'm missing
and theres nowhere to damage
because theres only 2 sides and theyre both covered with lightning


Is anyone aware of a WA that reminds you to cast SoD before pull for the supercharge? I always forget
Thank you!!
yoink
outlaw has been specifically named as being too weakaura-reliant in interviews
one of the interviews mentioned outlaw specifically as too compicated
due to its complexity
because of rtb and stuff
Too WA dependent
What if it extended SD for sub?
that'd be a bit redundant with tfd, instead of having too much dance uptime for all dances vs more cdr for comfier dance placement would be a better move imo
subterfuge added duration to sahdow dance in the past
but what i referenced to was
the early tww changes did change how subterfuge works on assasisantion
specifically to make the talent good
while for subtlety
my overall damage BP has the most damage instead of nimble, whats wrong?
it remains as a useless talent point
so there is a diffrence in effort spend between the specs
when updating talents
where one takes priority
and its fine when the other has talents it can't utialize
to be fair subtlety is gameplay wise in my opinion the best
and the rotation is fun
so its not the end of the world to have talents in need of reworks/change
Sub is good when you don't have to press symbols and dance separately
i think smbols/blades
its such a weird situation
also because one resets with encounters
the other does not
Everything above 1min should reset
Everything should reset
Yes
dance with 2 is 2 mins
just reset everything
^
I don't see a reason why it should have a cooldown threshold
wiping just as you've pressed your last symbols charge
is so painful
yep
played rog since Calssic and enjoyed all three specs at times. But sub right now is peak rogue exprience imo too.
espeically with prepull bullshit
you get one charge back
but you spend that so youre waiting 1.5 minutes again
!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 have the 4 set buff active and need to build combo points 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.
of our 43 pulls on dh/nexus king yesterday i got symbols/disorienting on 40 of them 
For some reason last night I kept not critting with SS in dance. Felt bad to SS at 5 cps
guys i got 4p and i can craft shoulder as my off piece? should i go for it? crafted a dagger already
no myth pieces
its not about critting, you proc cps based on auto attacks. outside of blades its pretty unlikely you proc to 7 cp on every shadowstrike
cuz only ver mastery shoulder is 2ndboss and already killed
!wa
you can sim it, but given that we get another spark soon just craft whatever gives you the best upgrade
im new to sub and still learning - how much can you trust raidbots? it says my bloodstained memento is significant stronger than my big mooma med.... like by 150 k raidbots seems to like crit a lot i guess?
If you have a substantial amount more of mastery and verse and no crit, it'll be like that.
crit/vers/mastery are all 3 good stats
yeah once I got to like 23k mastery it wanted me to dump it into crit
are they ok like that then?
thank you! thats crazy since i run pacemaker
Too much haste.
reforge it to crit
reforge was so good
in a world without expertise, hit, etc it would be kinda nice to have again and wouldn't require ReforgeLite
I'm convinced the high nerubian signet doesn't exist outside of m0. I've spammed that damn dungeon in +10's so much.
and haste breakpoints largely don't exist anymore unless you're outlaw
if you dont plan to upgrade for a while you can buy a champion boe pure vers or vers/mast ring for like 250k
its not so bad
When do they usually make mythic boes tradeable
what's worse, i had it in my vault and couldnt take it
damn
tier legs too good
damn that is tragic
what did you get?
For sure
i got gloves
quite the upgrqde from lfr ones
worse case we buy the mythic boe at some point
that is my plan
the vers rings are already way cheaper than the other ones
should be easy to get for a discount
yea, so while i was sad, it wasnt a heartbreaker. was happy with legs
yeah I'm either going that route or crafting next week
i'll craft a ring next week
got the Priory ring hero so imma sit on that unless I get a myth vault ring
crafted neck looking nice but feels a bit riskier than ring

the avoidance is nice and kinda makes me want to toss 30 gilded in it next week
gotta a hero Momma neck so upping my crafted ring to 720 is the play methinks
i did the neck just incase we get on a prog boss where I need to run assa
easy to swap it around
i'll do bracers once I have a socket to use
guys
what logic sims use for prism with passive trinket?
does it send it with every cd or hold for 3min?
I opted for bracers 2nd craft bc my old ones were pre-Turbo 675 
i have only pace
Maybe a dumb question but about when do I start holding dance before a blades window?
is it better to use a shuriken storm in place of backstab as first global in dance when theres cleave? was looking at the rank 1 forge sub rogue and he does it, or is it just a whatever thing
I did weapon and bracers craft. I'm a sucker for any agility I can get, even if it's low on bracers.
depends if youre a rotten gamer
hey guys,I want to ask how many Shadow Dances I can use between 2 Shadow Blades without the first dance.
he isnt though, thats why im confused
why are you not running tfd?
2 between first and second, 1 (maybe 2) between second and third
repeat til dead
you or boss whichever comes first
Shadowstrike >= backstab > storm unless rotten in aoe
Heyo, got antenna in vault, but cant get my hands on a netherprism, what would you play instead? feels bad x.x

its first global though so guaranteed max combo points either way
lily or pvp trinket probs
for dance macab
yea but shadowstrike does more damage. Backstab for the dm stack is worth more in st, the shadowstrike cleave value makes it equal to the dm stack in larger aoe
with rotten are you still strike->sectech->storm->bp or am I living in the past
could argue backstab does more prio
I think you still want to storm second ideally since the premed value is better on ss or bs
If sectec is off cooldown and you have a symbols charge but no dance do you send symbols a s sectec or wait for dance?
depends on how far flag is
yeah that's been my thought too, I didn't think the rotten bug change would have changed that but figured I'd ask in case it was looked into at all
tyty
What are the conditions?
You shouldnt have stormed before
so for forge boss, you just ignore the backstab and use shadowstrike i guess? that seems to be what people are doing
ye this is purely aoe opener assuming no coups
or like a regular sod/dance pack in m+
I normally don't run rotten but was curious
if flag is 30 secs away it is better to not sod+sec tech
if it is like 40-50 you can
bc storm first loses premed value pretty quick
as you will get back kinda the charge of SoD and you dont want to let sec tech be up so much
of course if you will cap dances like this you would not do it but you said all dances were on cd
so should be fine
I'm assuming the 'not wanting to storm twice' is because its a builder that isn't able to proc UB which does big dam so you want to minimize those as much as possible while leveraging EB stack waste
it is also because after 1 use it does not give DM stacks
ah yeah that too
makes sense
weird edge case but in that scenario if you did the strike-sectech-storm-bp thing then get coup in that same dance do you just toss/shiv between
or eat the loss and strike
ok im looking at soulbinder logs and people are also using shuriken instead of backstab in the dance opener
I tried posting this late yesterday but it was late. Anyone got time to check out a log?
do they know some secret tech or
!wa
!log
what changes from the normal rotation when im switching to the rotten?
nothing
no need to shuriken or whatever
nope
ty
what logs? looking at top few mythic ones no one's doing that
saw one of them do it after sectech presumably to preserve disorienting bc they had coup ready
very likely to preserve disorienting strikes bc they go into coup right after

and didn't get a shadowcraft refund from sectech->coup or coup->coup
which is where you see the double storms
quite a few of them also just doesnt backstab instead of strike, is that just a convenience thing or what is the target count its worth
which ain't ideal
5? I don't recall exactly
it's been a long time since looking into that
@vale pine do you remember the target count where backstab loses value in aoe
with premed
ah yeah
was something like 5 targets or so
okay yeah that's right, tysm
thanks for making it make sense 🙂

Atrophic /Feint in Raid: > Click to Open <
How do you guys feel about black powder in dungeons vs evisc spam, or do you mix it up when you have coup procs?
I feel like an evisc funnel is better a lot of the time even though theres more targets most the time but want someone elses thoughts.
You always use coup asap
Sectech > Coup > BP at more than 4 targets > Evis
Is the general prio

Silly question but tryna learn my Sub Rogue rotations. Usually play outlaw or assas
Can I bind Cold blood to Secret Tech?
You can but I don't recommend
not ideal
Is there a reason why?
you can if you have a naked sectech bind
u can have a regular sectec button and a macro'd one
Wowhead guide, rotation section
u press the macro'd one on the 2nd sectec in your flag window
might aswell use a naked cb keybind if you have 2 sectech binds xd
you only ever cb 2nd sectech so its 2 binds either way
In your cooldowns cold blood is used with the second set of shadow dances and symbols
So you should have a cb sectec and a sectec keybind
makes sense
is it worth to go sub on priory or its just brainless assa dung if i play assa/sub?
so I guess it is also silly to have a SD + Symbols
yeah those two don't get macro'd ever
Yes
dayumn
sub good on every key
if your tank pulls funnel into all the bosses, both good, if not, sub better imo
you'd need to have a naked sod, naked dance, and macro bind if you did which doesn't really accomplish much
just have them on binds that are comfortable to press at the same time
or in really quick succession
Is there a realiable weak aura or something that shows you when your next glboal will be max combo points to instantly evis again? get caught out far too much shadowstriking on full combo points because of Shadowcraft i believe?
Dance on 2, sod on 3
Good to run?
oh wow
Why you got 10 keybind?
Antenna lowkey giving me transmitter ptsd
what else am I supposed to do D:
mine looks way more over complex >.<
is this pvp
coolest lookin abilities in game
uhh well last time I touched sub was PvP back in Azeroth
why is cheap shot on 3 
are u saying i dont need all these buttons 😄
that is an insane prio button for something that barely is pressed
why ARENT you spamming cheap shot pal
tbh it is a pvp setup, and i played subterfuge
I also have cheap on 3 xD
barely never
i'm open to recommendations. I usually have F and Shift F for stuns/cc
where are the health pots gang
I'm saying you miss 20 keys
Where's storm?
too much for me
i mean keybinds are a very personal thing, so gotta find your own peace but that just seemed egregious haha
No
I'm not in front of computer to screenshot yoy
4-9 are on my mmo mouse, shift for all my modifiers, the bottom row are the other 6 buttons on it
1-3 build, 4-6spend, cds on 7-9qe, defensives on s4-6
yee lol
always mmo mouse baiters 
from playing rotational abilities on outlaw on my mmo mouse my right thumb is SWOLE
imagine not having fishing bound
Twice
so true
dumb question bc brain fog but do prism stacks decay out of combat
you guys dont have your consumes on hidden bars??? 
I straight up can't remember
Sorry to ask this, but before I go learn Sub rogue. How good is Assas/Outlaw for both Mythics + PvP?
hello im new to sub and im taking a degree to learn the spec
would it be troll to do a macro /cast backstab /cast shadowdance since u always want to backstab as first global into shadowdance ?
!wa
!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.
You wouldnt backstab if you had full cp
is there a wa that tracks coup
probably dozens on wago
tyvm, do u know what bonusbar does ?
first time seeing that in a macro
What is going on with 4
that's his goon keybind

tyvm
on netherprism i assume there is no sense in hitting it on the pull burst since it has 0 stacks
each stack has the same value and you have a lot of burst on pull from tfd
you should press it with one stack (and if you're holding for 3 minutes, you will overcap one stack if you don't press it on pull)
ok
then after you coudl do evey cd phase or hold with damage amps if that boss has em
ye hold or send all is pretty much the same
ok, then in M+ if you know whihc pulls are gonan be huge you could save for those ones
!prism
Unyielding Netherprism
Its a trinket you should be using with your Shadow Blades, using it on 9 or 18 stacks is the same on a target dummy but in practice thing like big pulls, damage amps or timings often end up favoring the big 18 stack.
and store up 18 for a boss? it didnt look like m+ bosses reset it
!macro
very flexible trinket so its your choice

I am just alternating prism and lily every 1.5m
its actually kinda cool to have a trinket you plan out rather then just macro and forget
!wa
yea u could min/max, or u could also macro prism to blades and forget it exists and it'll still be better than any other trinket lol
worst part of prism is getting it
lucky vault for me for heroic
sry idk about that, got week 1 on champ track 
prism doesnt exist
i just joined and left fractilis groups till i found one where i was only rolling against 1 guy lol
and got it first try
nice smoke bomb
8 ecodomes in all day, 0 lilys
Fuck me
gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers
How much is the DPS in raidbots, what should I have a subtlety in raid, I'm checking how much DPS I lose since I'm assassination
It’ll be lower than assa by 400-500k in raidbots probably
But raidbots isn’t accurate for actual gameplay (unless its fractillus)
I know i know, but its all tiredsome 
damn running a quicksim on sub and a quicksim same gear fatebound assa. Fatebound assa runs a mil dps higher
Wanted to raid sub tonight but looks like thats out the window
A bit of resting and go again, all for big numbers
the sim number doesn’t matter unless it’s frac
Sub is better on multiple fights
but fatebound assa is king on frac?
any tool is as good as the one using it
Ah literally this was just asked and replied to less than 5 minutes ago XD
yes, and loom/plexus but there are kill timers for those 2 that still favor sub
I just meant the time at which you push into execute
The biggest factor is adds imho
The rotten is no longer bug with shuriken storm? Last time I tried sub it was bugged
Adds = sub, no adds = assa
We got last intermission at 5.5% after blowing fat load and all cds
Turned my 99 into a mid 80
the bug was fixed
well as the fights get shorter and shorter, sub will benefit more
Going to kill our floor pov dks
we killed him at 6:01 so i only got the 430 deathmark with no prism stacks and no vanish in execute 
think i wouldve done better on sub
mine was 5:20
i did int a bit by not holding but
what should my first craft be with my sparks of starlight?
trying to get into pve
atm wearing full pvp gear
there's still the annoyance of trying to calculate if you should hold vanish at 3mins or pot or whatever, if you should send prism at 130/430 instead, sub can just macro it and vibe
wep if you dont already got 720+ wep
Hey stealthi since youre here i watched your fract kill vod and you shadowstepped wall breaks, when i was doing it the walls didnt break. There some timing tech?
your body needs to move
i realize my details isn't showing the Secret Technique shadows dmg, is it a bug or a wrong config?
So like half way and youre good? Sick
My parse is saved
how many targets for blackpowder to be worth
4
tbh the sims distance shrinks to about 500k when i incorporate 4set
which i dont have right now as i dont wanna waste a catalyst on champ piece
sub 4set is rediculously strong
but assa's is also very fcking good
its like 30% vs 20%
or smth like that
debating switching from ass to sub, in terms of dps they ain't too different right
Does this apply in raid too? Most logs I've been seeing still slam eviscerate on forge etc but it could just be prio dmg vs add dmg
how come sub is bad on Frac?
It does bad singletarget
its one of the worse prue single target specs in the game
you cant really apply fw outside of your dances
thats why
oh lol I thought there was a bug or something
Is soma private logging
ya we private log prog
is there any way to track unseen blade cd?
maybe not even that bad, if kill timer is okay
its to keep certain members of us from focusing on damage 
I mean at least as sub on Fract you don’t need to play around schizophrenic cooldowns
Question: when i send mini cooldowns in m+ ie just shadow dance into ST, should i send 1 spender first for DM?
!wa
or should i send ST early as possible for cd
I’m glad we don’t have that problem 🙈 🙈 🙈
Why exactly do you shuriken storm between coup de grace procs? What talents and procs are interacting to make it so you don’t munch unseen blade?
You should get a non lily trinket
You waste a UB stack if u dont use shuriken
hello
Why exactly evilshotty?
how much of a dps loss is it anyway
Because shadowstrike procs unseen blade
u cant generate more Escallating blades when coup is ready
So you maximize number of coups yo uget
The 2nd coup counts as coup being ready
So let’s say you’re in a situation where you’re doing back to back dances with 2 symbols. Going into the second dance you have coup and sec tech comes up between them.
r u in blades or not
Does anyone have fuu's sheet?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is it worth 2x shuriken storm so you can coup > sod > storm > sec tech > storm > coup
Another issue I have is lack of combo points in low enough target counts to use second coup with only 1 storm
inside or outside of dance?
It usually takes 2 builders to use 1 finisher outside of blades, inside dance
I thought we stormed between coups no matter what
!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 have the 4 set buff active and need to build combo points 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.
or on high target AoE
A good example would be the pack of 3 spider mobs in dawnbreaker
Storm isn’t enough to generate 6 combo points by itself
Without blades
you can coup regardless of combo points
Hmmm I read that wrong last time. Damn brain
in dance, outside of blades you just press shadowstrike
outside of dance/symbols you only have the energy to do coup - 1 builder - coup
Not worth worrying about the loss of unseen blade?
not outside of blades no
Cool
I usually drop global for a few seconds to farm enough energy/shadow techniques
As long as I waste no energy and no combo points it seems fine
if you are outside of dance and coup will time out, just send it at w/e cp you are on
outside of dance, build to 6+ if you can with storm
then send the 2n coup
inside of dance
DONT
press storm between the coups UNLESS you are inside of shadow blades
OK that makes sense
Assuming no shadow blades. It’s m+ aoe pull. You have dance ready and are at 3 stacks of unseen with a proc available.
The correct sequence then is shadow strike >rupture > sod > shadow dance > storm (rotten) > coup > strike > sec tech > strike > coup > strike/bp?
backstab is skippable in aoe if u want, but ud want to coup > storm > sectec
Every symbols needs a sectec as your first or 2nd finisher
I forgor sec tech
I meant to put it after storm
Then the question would be is next builder a storm or strike before second coup
Strike and munch ig
Do you rotten during dance or always before dance?
You could even do dance > coup > sod > storm > coup > strike > sectech
By rotten I just mean aoe find weakness
When im in M+ doing a mini cd rotation, should i sent ST on 2nd spender for more dance macabre? or right away for cd
Right away for cd so you can get more
so doesnt matter if its at 2 DM?
hey guys how is subtlety single target dps compared to assa and outlaw?
Worse but barely
Dm doesn’t matter as much as other multipliers like perfect form I think. Currently I’m sending at least 2 shadow dances between cds in m+
All 3 deal bad st
pure single target is worse in a raid enviroment
!wa
but for dungeons, we typically got enough burst to perform well on bosses
I’m finding I struggle in flood gate as sub and think I’ll prefer assa. A lot of the mobs can be extremely disruptive to your burst rotation
Maybe just need a dk
you probably need a bit of practice on subtlety too
its not the easiest to perform well on
I appreciate all your info Fuu, thanks for the guides and stuff ❤️
I’ve been practicing on the wrong build so I need to relearn it a bit
there is a lot of variation you can do talent wise
Took dark brew instead of shadow craft
most of the problems come down to simple missmanagement of cooldowns
hmm thats an interessting one
It was shindigs recommended starter build for this patch
I’m brand new to rogue so took that
i like this one
or
the standard build
ofc you can shift more points around depending on preference
I’ll just go rotten instead of finality
also fine especially with low crit amounts
neverless, talents aside
one of the big things to learn is cooldown management
try to always get 2x dance and 2x symbols for your 90 sec cooldowns
Looking at top logs they tend to double sod on the opener
yes
Fuu, you recommend the second one you linked?
thats where you use your 90 sec cooldowns
for starters?
i recommend the first one more
because tea is easier to play
you can alter it if you want more single target
And this is AOE, or raid
I found tea way harder to manage than cold blood
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
the first one is what i play
because it feels to me better
does not mean it is better
^^
Whats the main difference
I see cold blood over thistle
But what does that change rotationally
I put a tick on my energy bar so I never spend and waste a tea outside of cds
Ah i see, so thats more of a higher key thing?
I feel like I'm getting 0 value out of the first dance in my keys
and both tea and cb is good once you mastered sub
thats fine, you only need to have it a few times for it to be good
e.g. in echo dome
you get it on the first pull guranteed
is subs dslice sim correct?
you likely get it on most bosses
for gear
dungeon slice is good for gearing yes
To absolutely min max tea how much energy do you need to go into a non blades dance without wasting one? I’m assuming you want 2x tea per 90s where possible
okay ty
True true. I wasn't sure if I should be holding for it on my dances outside of blades but it felt awful
you get enough energy from symbols to make it mostly irrelevant
You still don’t want to use tea while farming cdr with storm and bp outside of dance I’m sure
when learning subtlety, focus on your flagellation/shadow blades windows first
try to get 2x symbols, 2x dance, 2x secret every time
Yeah I do that consistently
and try to use symbols + dance + secret between these 90 sec cooldowns 1-2 times
without losing the mentioned 2x during
I can even feel when I can 2x2 without having 2nd dance ready pretty well
(without delaying your 90 secs)
thats the important part to learn about subtlety
the rest is small min/max
Is there any reason using a sword in my offhand is bad? I come from outlaw and have sword dagger on myth
It’s like 30s left on second dance for safety
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
because its slow
FAWK
and means you get a lot less procs of shadow techniques
God damnit xD
offhand is one of the least impactful item slots in the game
!gear
at least you can cheese some things in dawn
like on the final boss jumping down with the net and shadowstepping back up so the area stays fairly free to move in
That ring from dawn is giga
OK you mentioned using storm with blades up. In my 2x2 I typically have first dance which means I’m consistently getting sec tec at the very start of the second dance. I will usually have a coup proc within that vicinity, but it varies depending on how many unseen blades I went into combat with. So if coup comes up and it WILL take sec tech off cd, and your actual sod buff is running out within 2s (before sec tec, after first coup). What precise order are you using the sod at? And are you using 2x storm (yes blades up) to not munch for 2nd coup after sec tec? Your sod options are you can either press it early for 1st coup and sec tec, or sec tec and second coup. At least one storm seems good to refresh aoe rotten after long first dance.

!macro
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.
So 2x is worth it?
whats 2x?
2x Storm
you can, but typically will only use it once
The situation is sec tech comes up between coups
the coup-secret-coup if possible
Send second coup back to back with storm between? You’ll lose cdr on secret
you rarely end up in a situation its late in dance
secret is the highest priority of finisher in dance
So in coup -secret-coup window you would 2x storm?
It happens to me a lot with first night in keys
!cb
- Why is the Cold Blood and Secret Technique macro not recommended anymore?
When you macro these two together you often end up using it outside of your shadow blades window rather than inside of it, and since Subtlety gets so many damage modifiers inside its cooldowns its actually more damage use it only in Shadow Blades
(yes, even if you end up losing casts of cold blood). Ideally you use it on your second Secret Technique as it will be buffed by more stacks of Flawless Form and have higher Flagellation stacks.

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 ths weakaura to get a reminder: >Open on Wago.io <
hello guys Im quite new to sub in pve, how often or when do you guys ude bp in general? at any moment during cds or only off cds
i mean storm fills your cp full
in aoe that is
and also during blades
so i am unsure what you mean with additional storms
without blades
We’re assuming blades here for now
you won't use storm between coups
!wa
Basically in extended aoe when I come across a situation where I have coup up and and sec tec comes up from pressing the first one I’m not 100% certain which buttons lead to the most damage in aoe especially
Like I could just munch the unseen blades to get big strikes on 7 targets
But I also want to rotten one storm for find weakness
Can someone look at this log and tell me why me and the other rogues dmg was so different?
I was able to find a some mistakes I made but overall our cd timings were the same. He just did way more sectec and flurry damage.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/7z4RWVtvrb3dyT8k/self?fight=3%2C3&source=3%2C12&type=damage-done
Which makes me think coup - sod - storm - sectec - storm - coup could be worth losing 1x flurry shadow strike
And I did miss a sectec at the end about 3:20
Basically I want to know every edge case. I want to know precisely which global is best and why so I have confidence in my cds
Fuu i think he is asking if he should do Coup-storm-sectech-storm-coup in the off chance of not proccing a singular shadowcraft refund
the thing is in that scenario
No shadow craft used yet. I’ll practice it after work today
its only actually after the sectech you care
so you would just go coup-strike-sectech-storm-coup
Which talent causes that interaction?
are the optimal moments to use black powder when there are 3 or more find weeknesses up?
the thing that makes us care about storming?
its called disorienting strikes
a trickster talent
I don’t play with shadow craft yet. I will soon I got baited by shindig
ora should I incorporate it more in general even in the burst? or not use it at all in burst? Im using the Cold blood build
use on 4+ targets
I may ahve accidently sectec'd the reflective shield in priory

when sectech is on cd and you don't have coup, use black powder
even in dance/blades
kinda a flex on the party to oneshot myself like that
Also I think I’m over using rupture. At what target count does bp beat spreading rupture to everything in the pack?
realistically you're rupturing lieutenants or bigger mobs, the lil shitters don't need to get ruptured
if you use a plater profile like Jundies just do the mobs that have a different-colored hp bar
theoritically if everything lives
Precloak you noob
you never stop spreading
Like first pull of eco dome has a ton of tanky mobs
That can survive most of a rupture if not all
ye you'd do the the gorgers and bigger mobs
was on cd when i saw 3 spells coming my way
and the real big guy
and send cds on adds+burn
sorta
How long are you delaying your 90s cds for rupturing things?
and the warpstalkers later on too bc they dash all over and uptime on them is annoying
never
intermission is funny
spread as tank gathers, soon as he plants send cds
i sent 1 dance per intermission
tricks should keep you alive
wouldnt you not have 2 for burn
So you’d rupture 1x with flag and send asap
if you sent
Anyone got time for a log review?
if its a shorter gather I usually send 2 ruptures into side mobs then flag+rupture biggest mob
feels kinda bad if i miss like
with rs you get 6 ruptures out that way which is fine
Normally I have at least like 5 seconds before everything is stacked right
So I'm trying to learn sub so I can play it on fights where it makes sense, still fairly new to the spec but did do quite a few pulls on Forgeweaver last night. Would anyone be down for some log review?
1 global or sidestepped out of range
eh give or take, sometimes closer to 8-10
just half the damage gone
i just did 1 dance on pull 2x with my cds at 0:22 in then one dance per add spawn for the next two sets
1 in intermission
then 2x on burn
well the no cds set you practically run over to next add spawn
as first dance there is ending
dont you
feels like you get a pause period after first echo dies
then its just back to back adds
Araz
1x
0:25
2x time for add spawns
2:02
1x on last adds
1x intermission
3:32 amp
thats what i did this week
oh yeah
i got fucked this week
!guides
not only did they binding shot the adds in the shit just out of my sectech range
but our tank moved the echo in on the burn phase
as my CB sectech hit
shit happens, but boss still died
Do you pop netherprisim instantly if it's your only on use? Or wait for the next CD window to get more stacks? Assuming you just rip it.
so all is goodge
i feel having first tank soak on the boss
is so troll
because sometimes step out to not be in it
we take it out
and then, not in nimble range
the soak goes away
literally every pov i watched takes it out
everybody else stays on boss and kills adds
you just pop it with your major cooldowns
can sometimes hold it for 3min for bigger burst in case of important adds or dmg amps
I'm sure there's some fight CD timing optimization I could do but I'm more concerned about general rotation and rotational mistakes, so please destroy me so I can fix it if there are problems 🙂
Do you like need netherprism for sub to be good
yea i got priory atm so i dont have any trinket really
yep you basically dont
Don’t think you “need” netherprisim but I’m sure during the nuke phase it feels good. Sub still does well without netherprisim. I’d say 4pc is a bigger dps impact than prisim probably

prism gud on sin
which u mostly do in raids

can netherprism build stacks when it is on cooldown?
only care about keys really
yes
