prism should still be good in keys
gonna have to try and buy them of guys winning the roll because i aint
just get devine and them all in on the bit to get it to you
divine*

suuuuuuuuuure
still need to learn how to play sub propper
a bit harder than assa
It’s alright, I’m running house of cards still and the dimensious trinket since it sims better lol
Currently I’m using lily and mythic track pace maker. If I get both 710 prism and soul forge double on use still sims a bit worse but I’m sure it’s good at the high end
Same, I'm trying to learn but I can only get so far reading the guide tbh
I find the guide hard to read (not through any fault of the wiriting or structure it's just a me problem)
its not even tea that people like about the build its vigor
there is like a combination of builds you can play in keys, which are all very similar but id probably go with CB+rotten build
vigor would matter if this spec did damage outside sb
most is gonna net you very similar results
(it doesnt)
yeah, people talking about loving the energy of tea but its literally vigor
tea energy is nothingburger
you dont need energy
idk people like it for storm
during burst when you do all your damage
outside dance etc
but you do 0 dam outside of dance
damn you might
so why would you amp that
the fact it isn't a choice node yet is weird
I mean its not bc rogue talents don't get iterated on more than once a year
but weird it didn't go live with choice node
Hey you’ll take mandatory speed shroud
You can add a tick to your energy bar so you know when it’s safe to spend energy outside of cds
and you’ll like it
not worth it at all
When you’re in cds it’s fine to waste a charge
you only use tea for the mastery
ye you can achieve the same thing by spending to keep from capping energy as you approach flag like you do normally to farm sht stacks
shit does fuck all
Im convinced a decent amount of df and onward
rogues
Wait do you get the mastery at all times?
no
no
just from using tea
we just dont care
have a moderate to high level of adhd and need to spam an ability
I care
!cbug
Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:
- Relogging.
You can use ths weakaura to get a reminder: >Open on Wago.io <
like the people saying sin has no energy ever and can only envenom every 3-5 business days outside DM
I solve the tea problem by never talenting it
because sin doesn't have energy in ST lol
but you just don't care
thats how we used to play it, but it doesent show as a gain anymore to do that, i however by feels still do it
In top logs they back to back symbols of death
idk the times I ever feel energy starved as sin st is
once or twice maybe for 4-5 seconds
a fight

even with sanguine blades
it is
i mean raid build is much faster i wont deny that
So they’ll symbols > storm > enter cds and just symbols again
yo chat anyone here sending 2 sectecs in first dance in opener? feel like clones dont hit within it
especially if you chain crits
what belt power do we run in m+
it was just a thing last tier for FW spread for BP spam
doesnt matter if off targets dont have fw does it
crit
I know you don't
just saying even if you have the extra energy consumption never really feel starved
!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.
wait why is prism macroed to blades while at 20 sec cd?
It stacks up
because sending it every 20s is booty cheeks?
You dont want to be using it every 20s
you want the stat during your burst window
ohh i thought youre getting the stats each 20 seconds
You get stacks every 10s
If you run 2 on use trinkets you’ll probably need 2 shadow blades macros
And you get more stats the more stacks you have
hello im new to sub rogue and the guides are a bit tricky for me to understand but do you use shuriken storm outside of shadow dance to build combo points in aoe, and in shadow dance you use shadowstrike?
pretty much yeah
humblebrag
So sub is mainly for burst aoe and assa is more sustained focus?
there's some niche stuff with storm in dance but that's related to 4pc
do we avoid deminish returns on mastery? to be efficient?
Pretty sure you can just put the other on use before prism
/cast forge
/cast prism
Cause forge will put both on cd
sims generally tell you when to shift stats out of mastery
for me it was 22-23k
yeah, like you can still do decent dmg with just dances, but it wont be the same dmg as Assa since they arent cooldown based in AoE
and it wanted to shift way more into crit
@warm marlin mr. cash money right there, huh

!prepull
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
we had one of those drop for an evoker on mythic
full vers
he was in shambles
I guess he better become.. versatile
nah im a mastery believer
mastery is my highest stat too
I just had issues with assa about not getting to restealth and running out of vanish charges
When i wanted to hold vanish for when mobs reach execute to re spread bleeds
and opening without stealth is pain

Outlaw players requesting your location
big mastery snacker
surely when they become available no one wants the 9700 mastery one
Guys is there a permanent wayt o fix cold blood macro? XD
No, relog is the only thing
hey guys hows this breakdown look ? 12 dawn
no permanent

Is it possible to make a macro for shadow stepping a specific enemy? I have one for allies but I can’t change it to the name of the boss.
Target it first probably
it’s cheap cuh
Was like 250k
or focus macro ig
Or whatever boss you want to step
Hmm. I did do boss1 but I didn’t work
Weird, should work
True I can just focus. No kicks on soulhunters
ye if its for soul hunters a focus macro would be fine
!wa
that ring is like 200k on normal
!guide
Is it 2 dance in symbols and then 2 dance windows between next cds?
Yeah i looked at method picture
!gear
does coup the grace more dmg if I have more combo points?
yes
ok always try to do it with 7?
6+
ideally 6+, sometimes your 2nd coup from 4pc will force you to finish with less bc of the timer
its more important to send that one with as many cp as you can get before the buff duration runs out
is the a Weakaura that counts how many globals you used in a dance window ?
its so weird that dance lasts so long now
I don't know of one, you could probably make/get one made. I personally count them because I have mental problems and my brain forces me to count random shit lol
how much % is if we macro this
Hello, I'm trying to learn Sub at the moment but I'm doing around only half of the dps I do with the bleed Assa build in m+ (both on aoe and st). Is that just a plain and simple skill issue or does sub need a certain level of gear to really pop off? I'm pretty much just wearing whatever I could get my hands on at 692ilvl, so the statline is pretty all over the place. (33% crit, 15% haste, 13% vers, 33% master)
assassiantion is significantly easier to play
so without any context, i would assume it is a issue of not being familiar with the spec
keep in mind that subtlety punishes you for mistakes
Your mastery is really low, and mastery does help a lot in AOE but def recommend just practicing if you're intending to play sub more
stat wise you want mastery/vers/crit and not haste
P much what fuu said. Mistakes are punishing, you can lose a lot of damage for mis timing one ability in a key
important thing is to line up your cooldowns well
you should always have 2x symbols, 2x dance and 2x secret during your flagelaltion/blades
and outside of that 1-2x symbols + dance + secret
the former is what you should focus on at the start
as well as!
trying to not hold your cooldowns too much
many players hold their cooldowns on this spec when learning, often for their entire duraiton
disaster
OOF
F
F
General rule of thumb in m+ is send CDs on cooldown. As you get more familiar with routes, timings, etc you can tweak things such as sending an extra dance here or there or waiting till the next pack to send flag/blades, but overall the most DPS you can get out of sub will be from sending CDs as often as possible since the majority of your damage is crammed in CD windows
Ffff
So for Trickster, what triggers Flawless Form? Or is that always active?
is cold blood better than tea in kets?
unseen blade and also using coup when target is fazed
might be worth adding to a pin or command but are we supposed to press SnD at all?
Unseen blade gives a stack, secret technique gives a stack, coup on a Fazed target gives 5 stacks
we don't
Thanks, that helps. Was wondering why my cleave would get scuffed on some pulls
Yuh
many thanks 🙂
In edge circumstances like pressing it between packs for a little CDR maybe but otherwise we don't put snd in the rotation
One of many teenie tiny optimizations that aren't technically necessary
Mmmm backstab soup
our dances outside cds actually pack a bit of punch now tho
does not help st hugely but on aoe it kinda goes hard
Yeah we upgraded from ice soup to stale bread

!mistakes
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
Yeah but it's for the MEME
It's all about the funny backstab soup
!wa

Just got held hostage in a key for the entire timer cause the tank and dk were friends and didnt want to let the other 3 people leave even though the key was undoable with them. Sick new system

Hey folks... Don't know what to do next. Changed from Assa to Subtlety (I'm a new player) and I'm doing shit damage. I know I'm missing experience but at the same time I think I'm kinda doing the things that I should but it's not representing on Details:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KyY13CdJwbQv6Fjf?fight=59&type=damage-done&source=15
I'm open for suggestions or criticism, I just want to understand what I'm doing wrong
should save flag for first add set
That second macro allows you to double on use with prism because the forge will go off before the prism so it wont use it right? Then you just bind prism to another key and can use as a 3min?
!wa
Outside of shadow dance, we build with backstab? even in aoe?

your symbols/dance/sectech use is kinda all over the place, I would recommend spending some time at the training dummies and really hammering in the cooldown sequence
is sub ahead of assa now for both raid and m+?
aim for 2x symbols/dance/sectech in each flag window, and supercharging every sectech
for that fight especially, if you just use symbols/dance/sectech on opener they'll be ready to send with first flagellation with first add spawns then you'll use dance for each add set
you'll hold your flag for the big add spawn set and it comes up in time to nuke the world
they each have their strengths
is it normal to sit on sectec 20 seconds when you just did the 1 dance between cds or would you send it with symbol but without dance in that case? only thing i am still unsure about, i guess send it when you got enough time for symbols + sectec to get back because you lose nothing
you don't want to sit on sectech unless flag is coming up in ~20-30sec, so its fine to use if you know it'll be up by the time flag is off cd
how do we use tornado in m+?? durings cds or just outside?
and if its the space between 1.5min and 3min flag you can usually sneak in a sod+sectech without dance
as i thought then, thank you
np np
before cds to spread rupture or after cds to farm cdr
valid tyty
Totally new to rogue - but when I see streamers play they almost always have 50% energy or higher. When I play Im starving like crazy. Am I spamming my backstab too heavily? Or am I missing something? :(
how big is playing prism + araz from antenna + prism?
tysm for the help, will focus on the rotation with my big cds.
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
in your cds you'll basically have infinite energy
aight, so it is okay to have downtime with no spamming
because of shadowcraft and relentless strikes
outside of cds
yeah, outside cds you're pretty much just farming cooldown reduction
yes
spreading rupture in aoe
outside of cooldowns is slow
chillin chillin
during cooldowns = fast
May I ask what makes sub so damn good in m+ right now?
very strong burst
its a combination of multiple things
non-reliance on funnel for boss damage like assassination
we don't trade off single target for aoe
The real question is, prism + forge or prism + pacemaker in keys
but basically, the tier set is rly good and it makes us better at burst damage

we're just in a really good spot to do good damage pretty much all the time in keys
feasting
there is a trinket from raid (neatherprism) which gives the potential to get a lot of stats, which means we can burst even more
and the dungeon pool has enough fights you can't easy pull mobs to the boss
additionally
assassiantions fatebound tier set is the significantly stronger one

and you play deathstalker in m+
I finally got to play prism+forge on nexus king this week and it felt incredible
besides some additional nerfs to its aoe and some bugs
Selling left nut for netherprism
So.. in M+ I've noticed I probably use BP too much. creeps up to almost 20% of my damage (and as a result CDG is down to 8% and eviscerate at 5%); I basically BP at 4+ targets.
But comparing to big boy rogues like Messer, BP is just 9% of his damage (67 casts vs my 144 casts), and his CDG is 11.5%.
So how are you approaching BP in m+? Saving it for massive pulls?
so assassiantion got nerfed, sub has a lot of positives in this season going for it
tl;dr
is it really better to black powder than evis in 4+ targets? i feel like im getting more damage with evis on the 5 dornogal training dummies
yes
keep in mind that you have the control as a plaer
*player
if you need a bit more prio damage
you keep using evis
if you want more aoe
bp
Also find weakness spread helps BP damage
I also saw Casualaddict's Araz prog and he doesn't even BP, just eviscerate/CDG
many times you will just use evis even tho BP would be technically more damage
You can attempt to avoid the padding allegations.
(It won't work)
Got it, just wanna kill the dangerous add then
similar
spreading ruptures is technically good
but due to how adds often arn't that important to do damage on
you or streamers will decide to only put rupture on the main target
in the end, there is in talents and decision making a lot of flexibility
Ya and gotta get rid of assa brain where you rupture everything, even when it's low. Sub only ruptures when adds last long enough lol
its also significantly easier on assasisantion
because you spread rupture to more targets with one cast
So BP at 20% isn't necessarily the wrong play if you're at 4+ targets, but its' more pad
Youre still using coup
It depends on your role in the key generally. Usually when I'm with an arcane mage, I use more BP being that they're doing the prio, but if I'm with a BM hunter and frost dk for example, I stick to evis usually because at that point I am the prio damage.
Even when youre supposed to bp
secret > coup > bp in prio (during dance, ouside of dance there is no secret)
how consistently can you guys fit 2nd sec tech during first dance
Are players in high keys running Inev and Rotten for more ST over default m+ build?
yes
for m+ which would you say is the better? seems like sub has caught up quite a bit for higher keys?
inev especially is for more single target
I'm extremely biased towards sub
and burst to a degree, because you extend symbols for slightly longer during your cooldowns
i wish PV was not so shit
same
so it does not feel bad to play ^^
or if it switched spots with inev
I see they are dropping Finality and PV in favor of those two
do u never secret tech outside of sd/stealth?
We are an anti-funnel spec these days. Just BP. Especially in pugs. Spread FW with rotten and let BP truck everything.
rarely but yes
You just gotta be like that one guy the most nerfed rogue in existence and PV+goremaw
technically, there can be very rare cases of it, but i would not advise to consider them

but streamers do this…
i mean
naked sectech is something you'll get a feel for the more you play
i dare you to look at the history of shadow focus
lmao
RIP shadow focus
its probably one of the most nerfed spells in our talent tree
I member when you were good
Press shiv for more Danse stacks 
WM history also interesting
Throw shuriken 
if you stormed previously in that danse you can shiv between coups lol
Toss
and ended on 5
how do i sim for m+ (high keys) 16-18 for sub / Asking for sim opt (topgear)
dungeon slice
Dslice
your gearing won’t matter. Avoid haste. Be happy
you usually don't play with your entire raid group ^^
ah oke.. i allways felt dslice is way off
I had no idea it had fallen so far from such heights lol
I wish i could drop my 4k haste
cuz i do probobly 3-4M dps per sec more then sim tells me
It’s for gearing. Not for dmg output
it was nerfed every time the spec was designed around energy starvation
e.g. in bfa
Is the tea build doing less damage than the cold blood build ?
!wa
it became mandatory before blizz introduced a system with essences to give more energy
so it got nerfed
because thats how you fix a talent being good
they basically trade single target for aoe damage
tea for slightly more aoe, cold blood for slightly more single target
over the course of a key
and this was just a repeating trend
Ty!
what do i sim for dmg output ?
This happened multiple times:
- design baseline energy to be too low to fit all gcd's in dance
- people pick shadow focus to be able to fit all spells
- blizz nerfs shadow focus
- < later during xpac >
- blizz introduces a system that gives energy allowing shadow focus to be skipped
Nothing

And then it just repeated in cycles?
Is it me or chain pulling with sub is horrendous ? I find myself having shit overalls with tanks like that
(also because of shadow focus, which is a energy system introduced)
I mean it's kinda hard to feel excited about 5%
chain pulling is fine
Or sometimes coming into packs with no cds and having below tank damage 👀
If anything chain pulling help me hide ice soup damage between cd's
With dance up you should be doing fine damage
holy moly
Do you think if they changed the logic on shadow focus to be active during ice soup time do you think it would be more valuable?
it would feel better but not actually be good
I'm not asking for AYCE gloomblades again but would it at least be pickable?
So just started playing sub in m+, any tips and tricks that would help me get my dps up?

finish your set bonus
Never underestimate a tasteful sprinkling of ruptures while the tank is getting things gathered
Also that
set bonus dumb strong
General quick tips: send CDs on cooldown, fit 8 spells in dance, make sure you shadowstrike during dance and press coup as much as possible
Idk about dumb strong but its good
single target is terrible without it
so then bosses live longer and you spend more time in that trough
Yep get that 4pc
Doesn't matter how you get there even lfr pieces, assuming they even drop
691 champ 4p was about 750k for me at start of season and I was in full bis s2 gear 
It's pretty damn good
Part of it was lou 4p was also kinda dog after they nerfed the shit out of it
Imagine if they kept it at like the 8% per stack or w/e or was at first
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
Bruh it was like 60% shadow damage or some fuckshit lmao it was projected to be like 33% DPS increase over NP tier lmaoooo
And blizz was like
What if we nerf it by 80%
when do we replace Disc belt?
Like 416 or smthing
My sims want a 717 belt to take it off, might be different for others
how do I sim for M+? 5 boss 5 min? or dungeon slice? what is the recommended for rogue?
Dslice is usually fine
thx
!wa
does anyone have the gun reload sound for shadowcraft refund
the one that shindigg uses
Why not ask him
the post directly above yours
he is, but theres really only one that people use and its the one in the weakaura command
Fair
some people change the shotgun sound to the silencer one since its shorter
I’ve always thought if you’re curious about someone’s particular ui element
its faster to ask them directly
ye typically if they're streaming they'll have a ui command for chat too
i actually get annoyed at the chain refund sounds
little bit zooming
had a shaman pack that came with one
Like warriors who play with thar execute sound wa
hearing chaching every 5 seconds

fr lol just give it a flash animation
I prefer just making an icon glow+slightly larger
yeah I'm a big proc glow/pixel glow enthusiast
pixel for currently active buffs, proc for procs
ez pz zooming
I think spending hours playing crackshot outlaw made me used to reacting to refunds
without any sound
!wa
I need to do some UI cleaning tho
When’s a good time to use netherprism? Second set of cds and then every set after that?
at what time do I start pooling Dance for Shadowblades
How do we use bubbling wax now? Just click and we gtg?
How else were you using it before? 🤣
I saw someone did weird shenanigans with unequipping weapon to put it on right one
we're all big subs here
the backstab on the 2 or 3rd gcd is it only if u have a coup proc
or to proc unseen blade or macabre
the first dance is quite good
do i still bs then or
and weaponmaster is quite weak
that' doesn't have an effect on whether you backstab for danse+premed
my cold blood secret tech macro stopped working in raid after first couple of bosses, anyone dealt with the same issue?
if find weakness is up (which it will be because of Strike) and its your first builder in dance
yes

Macro to blades
which is why this macro exists pretty much
i see i see big tyty, got another question too
np np fire away
shadowblades damage is that pure rng?
nope
also coup is it rng or do i do something for it
its a percentage of the damage that procs it
so low shadowblades means i suck
you gain stacks of Escalating Blade from each Unseen Blade hit
and once it hits 4 your evisc becomes coup
do i play around it or na
wasnt there some weird vanish shenanigans with tfd
you have a random chance to reset the 20sec internal cd on Unseen Blade via Thousand Cuts in the hero tree
They said it's fixed and actually ticking down outside combat
so that part is random, in addition to the s3 2pc which has a chance to hit twice with UB and grant 2 Escalating Blade stacks
Yeah vanish and afk when the pull before boss is close to dead
to an extent you try to not waste potential EB stack gain

Blades is usually my top 4 or 5 damage source on a st fight like Plexus
idk what 'low' is for you
yeah comparing fractulis logs and my did like 120m compared to 145-150m
oo, then i dont gotta wait to build stacks for first use?
hapticts if u got time u can like take a small peak for me (keep in mind i killed it before i asked questions)
there's my fract top few from our last hc kill
Eh u might be able to farm like 2-3 stacks in gather but for m+ just macro to blades and you’ll have a good time
I'm about to leave work but you can send a log or something if you want
can look at it in like 20mins
I have pacemaker also at 710
dming u dont have to go all in but like what ever u find before its bothersome
If raid hopefully your playing double on use so u can stack it for second blades Idk what to do if it’s ur only on use
made diff
nimble shouldnt be able to hit loom's webs right
u mean the circle adds?
yes
can check 1 sec
what about raid? still full send with shadowblades?
How come you play deathstalker in m+ when everyone I see is Trickster?
i guess it can if they get too close
@mossy ledge
there is a trick on the tangles
you can shadowstep first one
and hit both
just move bit to the side
i didnt do it on last kill but it is kinda cool
don’t shadow step until after tangles come out or ur insta gibbed
thats pretty big but rouges ignore webs either way if not needed right
ye ofc depends on group but "optimally" i think u dont care imo
but im also dog at sub according to logs so idk
running prism and antenna, but i could run prism and lily
i guess ill sim
i was mroe wondering if there was a way to get some cleave on them for free
while playing normally
Hey peeps
Long time sin enjoyer here. Playing sub in keys and feels really nice. Defo more boss damage for a bit less AOE.
My dungeon slice sim is 10% more with double on-use trinkets. Netherprism and mythic track lily (1.5min cooldown).
Any tips on how you would play around dbl on-use trinkets. I was thinking to use lily first pull and then just use netherprism every 1.5m after that and just dumping lily on big pulls whenever
only if they hug boss or get in tech range then
or a quick rupture but that might be assa in me talking
to cleave from boss they would need to be quite close
Yeah antenna gonna be ur bis I think the only good double on use setup is prism/forge
on assasisantion
ah, gotcha :)
my point was the tier set on assasisantion is stronger for fatebound
but you play deathstalker in m+
which contributes to assassiantion being a bit weaker in m+ this season
make them remove the fateboind coin aoe reduction fuu
on lorggs im seeing everyone full sending with shadowblades, with the macro
!gear
Double on use is only good with forge
Anyone could give some feedback on logs? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gPpMX16NZYFaLmKv
so how do we play around forge and prism together?
would love to but im bad
where is that chart
think u click forge on pull, 2nd cds prism repeat
you could quick sim and look at its cast
looks like a bit of a waste for forge
Alternate them
It's not that complicated
true
with alternate wouldnt even have to rebind em, just /use 13; /use 14; would work where forge is 13
that one only has the wa not the right sound file
it uses a sound from outlaw
is there some weird bug with Cold Blood wa's not showing? Only works if i quit and reload the game
Hey guys, Do you think my dps woulg go down too much If I start to /dance when all CDs are on CD? It jsut felt bad to have 0 CD's and energy starved, might aswell do some roleplay
when you flag > blades and the dance window ends.. do you want to go into the next dance right away or use backstabs/finishers till flag ends then go into next dance ?
Cold blood macros and was are bugged when changing spec between sub and sin. Relog fixed for now
I mean the tradeoff for being the burstiest spec is you do tank damage outside cds
cool ty
!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.
Yep, just be aware sometimes like on mythic forge you will want to manually use prism as forge comes off cooldown before u send the last set of Cd's
Do use 13 use 14 and then have a separate bind for prism
oh u mean like with dying breath sending some half botched cds cause the boss is dying
no time for full
you change it to the shotgun reload sound
@vale pine Does the target in range WA return something that I can use in a condition? I want to make an element glow if there's 4 targets or more
or whatever sound you want
i know i need to have both charges of dance for flag and sb, how many seconds left on sb do i stop pressing dance so ill have 2 charges?
I bet we do more like Healer Damage on downtime, but the burst is Godly, Guildmates always surprised that my alt Sub do more burst than Everyone on core, Then when the fight ends im almsot last DPS kek
No
Hey guys, what is the Open-world/pve/questing talents?
Your last flag on forge comes up during intermission
you can re-use the variable to check
i think you mean when to hold with dances for cds
we're more like tank damage outside cds
But you hold it for the actual burn
i think its around 26 sec
But holding for burn means forge is ready
Which means you will end the fight with a 18 stack prism
Any1 know?
wowhead have
yeah, sorry i worded it weird lol
Probs just the m+ talent build
no worries, i think its around 26 secs
it doesnt have 1 for open world, only delves etc
gotcha, thats so awakward, just hitting backstab and evis for 26 seconds
Do I have to re-write the custom variable then to something like "stacks >= 4" or how would I reuse it?
this one?
Looks good enough
It's the raidbuild cleave
The delve build will also be good in open world
ok let me do that one then
raid in theory ethereal should b better
Any recommended changes?
can swap sf for rotten
aight, gotcha
sf?
i don't think rotten is that good
shadow focus
but all of them are pretty insignificant
once you get the core talents
yea i was asking if anyone has the sound file
like delves are pretty poop content
just tricks to bran and only blow up packs when you have sb+flag
and do objectives when you dont
the problem with delves is
hey my bran is 100
they i changed the cleave talent a bit, can re-import if you want
^ they kind of suck
Theres less reason to do them this season
like, the gearing was changed to get maps very late
this means you don't get anything from doing delves early
and at the point you would, you need to spam them
and already get more from running m+
there's like, only 2 really exceptional trinkets from delves this season
so blizz did basically hear to the top end of the playerbase
and made delves completely useless day 1
The void fragment, and soulbreaker's sigil.

They basically just exist as an option to get your shitty alts hero track tier
that cant get into pugs
they are for casuals
Yep once I realized maps weren't gonna be around without grinding delves I dumped that shit

And fwiw the casuals love them, which is fantastic in the grand scheme of things
i don't know
i've noticed
like blizz did say
they want to introduce a 3rd pilar of gameplay
which should make sense to do outside of the first days of a raid
and this aint it
this is exactly what people feared the system to become
3rd pillar? Even blizz doesn't count PVP as a real thing 
like honestly
well raid, m+ and delves
most probably wont do 11s until like
1-2 months into the season
if that
like they're VERY good for getting my shit alts gear
that cant get into pugs
or i want to gear it a bit playing at degen hours
!guide
You'd be surprised. Lot of the casual crowd is super into delves and basically have replaced all the low tier m+ they used to do with just doing delves and gearing up that way
thats what i do for my poop alts
do we play double on use in keys as well?
you can get 31 gilded a week doing 11s

which is a 720 crafted per 2 weeks
its not terrible
You can. I am still just gonna play prism plus passive @void ocean
I'm ngl, unless delves are required(one of my guilds requires them week 1 for tier chance since we don't do splits) I do not touch them on any characters, I personally cannot stand them.
i actually think because of delves theres no reason to do super low keys
and thats why players down there are even more pepega
than they used to be
All the players that did low keys with any amount of skill are just doing delves instead to not deal with horrible pug groups
I think I haven't pugged a single low key this season and I don't intend to start now
like personally i've not had a reason to do a 2-4 key
this entire expansion due to delves
on any character
Kinda helps that this season added something like 4 key levels by default
I don't do em because I can force my guildies to drag my rats through 10s till I can get into em myself 
yeah
or you screw yourself and took your key
instead of getting one after mooching someone elses
But I also don't play a lot of alts, p much only my wind walker and occasionally bdk aside from the 3 or 4 rogues I gear occasionally for funsies
„Yes“
Is it better then what I have for Open/world?
I love when my guildies are like "can I bring my rat" and roll up with someone wearing season 1 gear
Like damn bro you said rat not fuckin cockroach
should be fairly similar
meh np then i'll keep the delve one. I just wanted smth that would help me out with quests
even thou im max lvl
Didn't touch em in s2 xd
I actually have a level 70 rogue that's still sat with aberrus bis gear
we did delves week 1

Yeah
no reason to touch
and thats exactly what they shouldn't be unless i missremember the idea behind them
Yeah week 1 tier chance is goated for any guild not doing splits
if you didnt minmax alts for coffer keys to get your maps week 2
I just do them as a time sink now
ret paladin
Can't play it they closed the discord 
exactly ur suppose to be on strike
I have one extra alt rogue at 80 and my guild looks at me sideways for having a second. Glad im not the only weird one lol
thats alot of void elves
I'm actually so mad I have void elves for the transmog discount and they're making it free 😩
Nerfing the best racial in the game x.x
Idk someone said it's becoming free and I don't fact check shit because it's funnier to just get mad about things
It is becoming per slot and changing your gear will not require you to reapply the transmog
So like kinda free in a sense because it's free to swap gear
You transmog the slot not the item
warlock for sure
But not free to actually swap to a new transmog
Honestly now that you've explained it in even more mad because I can't be mad about my nerfed racial
I'm*

Just never use a different transmog ever again and you can be mad again
human racial players:

transmog is such an annoying gold sick
but the cost of consumables is worse imo
shit is overpriced af
im aware
Just be a Velf
I get juiced because I'm a livelord in raid
with mythic nerubar and delve helm
Other DPS be like: "+150k DPS 🤓"
Raid lead: "you die 20 seconds in every fight tho"
im floored
wtf us a kuvekird
Imagine playing wow and not having enough gold to pay for transmogs.
wtf is a livelord
someone that doesn't die
It's the whole reason I do boosting 🙏
I survive better than our dk 
idk whos dumber
one thing i've noticed
unholy otps are usually slightly brighter
than fdk otps
when it comes to dk players
It's frost fs bc I'm a frost dk player
Does sub and prism trinket have a timetable like FDK does?
!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.
im at war with dk discord
Why? What'd they do
Just like ask boomkin players
idka bout frost and UH
to count to 4
but blood dk discord
Leave it there.
also im gonna pretend i use different mogs on dk
when i just mog warrior t3 perma

yes
!wa
dome trink is ok no?
it's decent
if you haven't managed to get any good trinkets it's better than nothing and an okay pick for on-use
So you literally just alternate? No weird gaming?

nop no trinkets fro mraid
I have both on one of my rogues and have been wondering about the double on use gameplay
yeah but thats like every raid
good trinkets in raid and dog in dungeons idk
Yes
yep
oh 704 forge just sims less than myth pacemaker by like 60k
didnt expect that big
only weird gaming if you ahve pvp trink
lily isn't so bad to be unusable but it's vastly outshined by prism
Maybe still doesnt if you sim on weekly
Thanks
But i think it was more than a week ago it was pushed
Oh i sim on latest like a normal person
I only have prism / lilly rn
best rogue spec for keys?
prism lily is properly cursed
sac/hunt are my outlaw trinkets
the one you're best at
I've mained outlaw for my whole life but started tanking for fun, now I go back to it so I don't know what to play.
outlaw good prob gonna fall off in high keys as always
outlaw is fine, but people look for sub/sin in keys because it's on someones tierlist
True
That 10% aura buff is going to go crazy
followed by 4% blade flurry nerf
I mean they're all good
tbh assa and sub are nice with funnel outlaw is meh
Random streamer x said sub A tier outlaw D tier so if you apply to a 8 key with 3k io as outlaw you get declined for not being meta 
but idk wtf "mained outlaw whole life" is supposed to mean.
like in flood with momma assa and sub go hrd
I honestly feel if last time you played outlaw was before df s3
You should get your tanks to get crocs for the goblin/hob boss too
he was born when combat was removed
its basically a different class
ye ofc
but this is the obvious one
that even without extra mobs u can benefit from
We did that pull in some 12 to get a friend resli and the rest of the party freaked out and paniced into a wipe lol
Them 9 year olds got hands
Holy fugg
Legion was 9 years ago
..
...
...
Real dude
tf
they legit paniced
kekw
"wtf were those crocs"
You're my hero, have pvp and forge, no prism 😢
You know
i wanna send 10cp supercharged potted sec tecs on those people irl
there was a details script that removed the slime damage in fall
was funny seeing where the ret was
on that pack without
fall?
You can clean up details p easy
galakrond's
maldrxus
Galakronds
the slimes with the big mob
ahh yes
before blight
