we did our best, best wasnt enough
but thats okay, we just need to live with our failings
we private log
Its like -5% overall last i checked
I mean on nexus king its not like a magic prio
@hallow pagoda
Why You Should Use the Addon The addon always gets up-to-date info about your character since you are running it in-game and it is also able to get more details
Its the same prio as normal its just a lot of mental overload to add with dodging and ghosts
On 8 target cleave sim. You can remove/comment out the BP line to sim it yourself
L

cringe private loggers
True
on fights with damage amp its good
when you can sync prism to the amp
dunno how much more gooder it is though
Rather on fights with multiple sections where you need damage
For a singular amp maxed prism+passive is just better
what about a prolonged amp like loomi myth second phase?
But for example on nexus King platforms youd obviously do more with forge in cds than with passive holding prism for the amp
!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.
we dont get to 18 stacks of prism in that 90 sec window between flags right?
no
Double it and give it to the next guy type shit
type shit bro
is double better than netherprism + antenna?
why are we giving even more stuff to guy wtf?
Sometimes
double on use is good on last 2
Probably forge too but
Its overrated
its gonna get worse on short fights too(?)
But U dont get an 18 prism
Like if u go forge prism forge
Ur saying thats better than just prism passive
The weak part about prism+passive is no trinket in opener
Thats where lily comes in
a lily wouldnt out perform araz trinket right?
in double on use context? never no

did mana oil become better than whetstone this season
a bit yeh
Anyone use subterfuge for open world stuff?
what does whetstone stat even count as. it doesnt show up on stat weights
just attack power
attack power is just mostlY agility
Do I shadowstrike on aoe if i dont have shadow bblades up?
i see high end rogues running a tree like this and sometimes with cb.. whats the diff between the pinned on
would this mean holding flag for the amp and sending prism even if araz is back up?
Is dslice better for sims or 5 targ patchwerk
how much are you guys simming for i got 4.6 sub 5mil assa
for m+
CB = more st Tea = more aoe
thanks! and right side of tree? some take perf and some rotten
so if i wanted cb for st i would just take away tea and 2 points in vig ?
got any great macros to share? I see some use SD, Tea, BS and symbols in 1 macro.
!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.
!wa
Nexus got hands huh
finally killed it hc
was hoping to get it in 4-5 pulls but apparently hitting stars with beams is hard
do we kinda just do beans damge wiht just our mini 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".
i notice the top 50 rogues in m+ use diff talents to the guides. Notablty cold blood instead of thistle tea and also the talent which extends symbols. Is the idea to extend symbols so that you get 2x ST off within one symbols.
Also the Rotten over finality is another difference and I can't really get my head around it
The idea is just more ST
makes sense
Rotten is like 0.3% less st than finality but it guarentee spreads FW in aoe
are you talking about a specific player and build? can I see that? π
I forget their name it's like Nessa or smthing?
thx, probably this then π
I like that ;o
I like it when someone knows what they like and they dont give a shit and are good at what they do π
How many ruptures do you send into a pack in AoE without CDs? Should I tag all mobs or
press black powder
Black powder?
but yes there are target caps
well ye
Even if you plan on sending CDs?
well if i spend the entire time rupturing the pack
the mobs will die before i send cds
Yeah but does it make a difference if you send CDs or not? Or like is it 1-2 no matter if you send CDs or not
well the difference between not sending cds
Or is it like trying to tag all wit rupture if no cds
Absolutely, but the question was without cds if you send ruptures on all mobs or not
Dw bout it
unless theres 50 billion mobs
its just standard prio of
if not in dance
if you can rupture something that will survive duration
rupture it
But in general like send 3-4 cause that becomes 6-8 targets with the talent idk what itβs called
!guide
But like big momma you keep rupture on all adds in general if youβre outside of dance?
So basically if mobs survive send a few
yeah
if youre not in dance
your evis and bp don't matter
they are cosmetic
and only exist to reduce CDR
Ah okay I see
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.
So there is no like magic number on how many ruptures

fuck im so stupid today
so the bit around optimisation 1 kinda leads into the fact of how little damage your non dance/burst finishers do
the magic number is "the amount that will survive a rupture"
no wokkas
I tried on our forge kill playing prism with passive instead of forge trinket and end up doing no dmg π
The opener so small
!guide
Petition to change this spec's name to Sneaky Pete
in keys I love the pulls where I'm completely dry and waiting for CDs, doing less than tank dps, I wonder if they think I'm trolling π
Is Sigil of Cosmic Hunter trinket any good?
Ya
2nd best, 2nd trinket
Prism ofc omega bis, then between isgil, forge, antenna
all very good

i know that macro CDs its not recommended but.. im still learning what should i do? symbo + secret technique?

kk π thx
Probably not symbols and sectec unless you want to keep a seperate keybinds for those as well
you'd need standalone buttons too
yeaa im separating btw... its just to bust
Thats fine then
too many situationals honestly
Thats not really a macro more than qol feature
you guys spread rupture ?
I have cb on shift 6 and shift 6 also presses six which is sectec but they are bound seperately as well
It depends
you can on the gather if mobs are gonna live the full
Youre suppose to spread rupture while tank is gathering because dots are effected by your amps afterwords
yyeaa
!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.
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
fig
That macro is half true
!wa
You shouldnt macro sectec to cb, but its fine to macro cb to sectec

!cbbug
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 <
hiii
come here often?
scrub numbers
I think there was some other work around for that bug, cant remember what it was
im good, hope ur doing well (i just crashed ou cuz i played sin on mythic nexus king and wanted to try sub for the last pull then had the cb bug)

well i thought if i went to deathstalker on sin and swapped it wouldnt bug
but
I just play sub full time at this point
That yeah
I played sin and I was a passenger princess even on Fractillus
Let me just play sub full time at this point idgaf
opener is fine with TFD
is that unpopular opinion
this
I just ignore it 
i dont like this at all, it feels unnatural
I wait until my 2nd dance to sectec again
There's a double sectec part of tfd?
Idc if its wrong 

Is that why i feel like using sectec more than is prescribed
If you get good procs you can double sectec in tfd yeah
I was wondering
i was excited for fatebound but now i dont want it
i love sub rogue π
It felt like i used it 4x in cds or something in my opener on NK
I really like deathstalker sin ST. Sin is usually pretty mindless so Deathstalker adds a bunch of "stuff" to do with the Shivs, and the Darkest Night
Playing fatebound sin is like
There is literally nothing going on 
ya there is, u look for the buuuuuuuuuuuug
had the same thought recently
Yeah fish for the bug
Darkest night is a pain in the ass
how sad π₯
I tried to get a WA for it but even that was a pain
darkest night aint even bad
i almost wish it wasnt a bug because it does feel like u doing real dam with it
its bosses that fly away
fuck yo mark
playing sin on ansurek
wrong part of a dsm cycle
sorry no mark for your intermission
Its so funny how garbage all 3 rogue specs are on ST
But it kinda doesn't matter at all because of the way the raid is
my intuition tells me DN was a way to make something like marked for death. no real basis for this but just suspicion
Literally thanos on last 2 bosses
π₯
!atr
Sounds like thats why st of rogue specs are not great
what is that command to see all things we can feint

Why is it better to run cheat death at all?
Because humans make mistakes
cause i guess escalating blade is like guile ig
and being able to make a mistake and live is very valuable
Healers letting you die isnt your mistake though
because feint is a dps loss
and standing in shit you shouldnt
Fair i guess
On mythic those blade dances 1 shot you
tbh you might as well ask why tanks play cheat
Well i get it for tanks
If you were smart and fast enough to feint them, you wouldn't even have gotten hit by them to begin with
Meanwhile you can make a mistake, get hit by 1, and not waste a res/a wipe
No reason to ego a cheat death
Its insanely broken
The reason i dont run it isnt an ego thing
its just too strong
I just dislike how squidsh we are generally
We playin the same class?

unless its ticking damage
I was doing nk and was one of like 4 people alive because of cds at the end
We are like the tankiest fucking dps out there
What spec are you playing ?
In keys kinda
i feel giga livin if i know what's up
Sub vs standing at your collector in intermission on Adaβs
Everywhere
Araz
maybe healing back up we're not great at but
Fighting for my life
In raid it doesnt feel like that sometimes
The only thing that fucks us is rot dmg
Our only weakness is rot damage
only thing truly tankier
Jinxed
You are doing something terribly wrong than
rot damage is literal healer job anyway 
funnily enough dhs are good with rot
Also kinda i just prefer to die to my own mistakes so it forces learning
but kind of meh with big giant hits
!atro
Atrophic /Feint in Raid: > Click to Open <
dying to mistakes instead of living with cheat
dont do that again
The upside to doing that is you are just overall more tanky, was doing a priory 14 the other day
I was only one aside from tank alive
greed is good
Are you supposed to use prism whenever shadow blades is up or only at 16+ stacks
Well no the dumb greed
w/ blades
should average 9 stacks by the tiem its ready
Yeah i get 8-10
Hey guys, im playing assa, but little tired of it. Wanted to change to sub. I am feeling little trouble w damage in assa, will there be problem to have damage in 10 keys or heroic raid?
Its not like its multiplicative or anything
btw does coup ever expire
Having Lily and prism is kind of weird
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aaBz5vC3VauxnXqY5q0zxOpFXwhPXaHvYe3VpWLAta0/edit?usp=sharing
For M forge Iβm using lily on my first 2 blades and then holding a fully stacked prism for the burn
i hate this statement so fucking much
well ideally you dont play lily and prism
Are you using cheat in keys as well?
Wdym with problem
dhs not really
im pretty sure we're probably the least fucked by rot damage due to our passive DR
nah not really
Yea, but itβs what sims best and prism is pretty OP fully stacked for dmg amps. Itβs like 60k agi lol
If ur defensives are barriers or generic DR
Not dk rly.either
Rogues specifically doesn't work on rot damage
sorry im just on tilt from our mage going "were weak against rot damage" after dying to fract
dk isnt a class
Well mage has no weaknesses, but the weakness if you have to be a good player
Idk i have 699 ilvl and in big pack having about 8m damage. When for example dk w lower gear making more damage
Mages are the tankiest class in the game but you actually need to be very good at cycling cooldowns
Not even downplaying it, mage takes a lot of effort
Its probs the hardest class in the game
And crimson vial does sooooo much to help as we bleed out
Could be problem w rotation idk
If youβre in a big pack having an issue with dmg on assa then youβre just not doing something right
Brother has not gotten to nexus king π₯
Wait until u get that dot on mythic bro 
Boss dmg is kind of ass with the bleed build on assa but the big aoe dmg is cracked
yeah because we cant kill fractilus since following weak auras is impossible and spot healing doesnt exist

Sub has pretty crazy aoe this time around
im actually crashing out
i hate ranged
just play the fucking game
and dont die
healers heal
lol
Yea I mean I play sub in keys, itβs good, but assa is insane in aoe
banishment on nexus king isjust a dot he puts out, it literally does 2m a tick
It's so much damage
I was too dps on tangles until RL lost his shit.
loom prog was interesting. 
speaking of loom prog
It isnt by that much these days
draco-swap-targets-rant.jpg
We are seeing subs post parses north of 10 mil in fg and i see casual do like 11 on sin
i had 5 pulls as assa before i realized how atrocious our tangle damage was and had to swap to sub
and uh
Can u mb tell where could be problem? I would like to try go heroic raid, but i feel that no one will take me w this damageπͺ
hm
thing is sub only does that during cds
one evoker wasnt in most of the night and played aug a bit when she got there so they get a pass
sin is out there doing almost that much with just a shiv charge
Pugs have been making me want to play sin for that reason yeah
What am I looking at?
It is so infuriating see 4 mob pulls knowing its giga waste to flag
do you h ave to hold your dance for it everyy time or something?
They finally had me swap to assa for execute and forced range to take care of it.
its probably the most demoralising class to be just good at aswell
It sucks
Thatβs a problem that will solve itself as you go higher in keys π
everything else is just tangles
bc the great mage players are so prominent


Couldnβt even catch up with 18 stack prism going into amp

bel the tangle mangler
good bot
π€
Im seeing tanks get really scared in like 14 priories and do that though
Thank you!
if you were good with timings you could step the first tangle after the pull and cleave both
look at me. I'm the clanker now
thats what i was doing
after dying to tangle from stepping to early
yeah i was stepping
Also right side priory is not a thing i ever want to do again
You have to wait for the yank if your range is π€€
Do you happen to have a version for m+?
Stuff like 1st boss streets interrogate ability can be cloaked
i went to a dimensius pug the other day
π«
idk what dks are pressing DA on
bro LFR day 1 was so painful
to get rep
do they fr think 30% movespeed is worth for the movespeed
cant play riders on dimensius
your riders go to the cuck chair and watch instead of hitting the boss
Thanks for the sheet
i thought they removed db rng
Does feint work on shreddation
They lowered it idk abt removing it

you cant super highroll into +50% dmg but its still p high variance
Interesting it seems you can cloak a spark jumping on you while in water
That seems like fun tech
Yeah i thought making the mark flat give you 2 scythes with no proc chance anymore
removed rng
After looking at that sheet thats also why i like elusive, it just works on everything
is our best passive trinket still antenna?
From what i have heard yes
Yes. Or the trinket from hunters
A dumb question, but I'm not used to reacting quickly to Coup de GrΓ’ce procs... sometimes my mind bugs out (learning process), so I take a while to react to the procs. Do I lose a lot of DPS because of this slowness?
!wa
Yeah you will lose damage from it yeah
there's a weakaura to help you with that
wich one?
shadowcraft refund sound trigger
Just keep in mind that you can jump from 2 EB stacks to 4 EB stacks
What exactly does it do to make you react quickly?
plays a sound
I think he means the EB from 2 > 4 not the coup delaying shadowcraft refunds but
Guy, do you snd while spreading rupture in keys
I feel im used to combo refunds
Honestly, age is starting to catch up a bit... it might not seem like much, but it does affect me, haha. I'm 33 now, not quite the same as when I was 18.
from playing 2 seasons of crackshot outlaw

i just snd with the spare combo points after a pack
Its not going to particularly going to give you more procs though cause your right we do have coup
I abused this in timewalking too
The sound worked for some procs... not all of them triggered the sound.. is that normal?
with mfd
it only procs when you get a full refund
Is outlaw actually a fun spec
If you like reacting to procs
depends who you ask
Itβs def my favorite spec of the 3
BFA was an era
I feel like id want to claw my eyes out if tank suddenly decided on big pulls were a thing
The difference between now and then is 1, I'm older, 2, I've come to the realization that I'm always right
Well, I feel more vindicated in my beliefs
!loot
Well that hasn't changed
We get some good tweets now from you too
whats the point in pushing when turbo boost is coming in 3 months
haha fair
thing is you don't want to fall behind usually
sometimes once you've fallen behind it becomes very difficult to catch back up
If youβre pugging, forsure
Or you just cant
Ideally you get a solid group and you all just push when you are fully geared later in the season
sometimes you get funny experiences
Happened to me last season, i could not get any 13 other than ML to clear regardless of what i did, it was an experience
like in tww when i was farming skardyn and i run into prophetβs guildy
and he has a rank βprophet sucksβ
hahaaa
you mean nobody was inviting you or what?
so true
I ran my own keys, and what i mean is pugs would just instantly fold on 1st pull of stuff like brew, priory was absolutely out of the question
if you're full pugging and you've fallen significantly behind you have to try to make your way back up playing with shitters
and it just compounds the problem
I gave up after 2.5 weeks
sounds like an L aura problem
I was new back then, which made the experience worse
i know some title caliber players who fell behind last season because they started pushing late
and they just gave up
because it became a lost cause
100%
unless you can play with a friend who has title level resil it's just too much work
interesting, I started pushing quite late last season, only after turbo boost, and had no issues timing 13s and 14s playing with "late people", but I was playing disc priest I guess I was just carrying so hard!
Guys I love to play near perfect on progg and than choke on kill, best feeling in world
yep, feels great to ruin your logs
Well if you play meta is easier yes
But we are rogues and we were not meta last season, tankd and healers also have massive advantage
i always want pop symbols befor pop shadown dance?
no
my argument is for title pushing
so when should i use symbol solo?
where there's an actual number you need to reach π
Are you saying that sometimes I don't have a Shadow Dance charge, but I still have one Symbol charge, and that's the exact moment I should use the Symbol...?
You dont want to be in situations that cause you to not supercharge secret tech
for M+ do you use dungeon slice or 5-6boss 40sec-1min?
!wa
still learning... now was my record at aoe dummies.. i did 15m :x
Your using dslice to determine how well you should be doing, or?
A totally unrelated topic... it would be nice to have an NPC next to the dummies to reset CDs. π
sim gear i have. mostly playing sin, but need to work on sub for some bosses so im swaping gear around to see whats best (already completed it for raid ST spec) so not sure whats different/best from raid setup
Most likely I swap neck and rings.. that's it for me.

yeah it was that + cloak gem.
I prefer top gear
are we suppos eto macro netherprism onto shadow blades or use at 9/18 ?
Not reccomended to macro but you can
Or just do what i do keep prism on a keybind and use shift (prism) to modify it
yes, going in to top gear to check different items i have. Question is how to run the sim for M+, Dungeon Slice (sin does this) or 5boss w/40sec.
You can then have a macro for when you want both
The only thing ive heard is we just grab whats best off of top gear and dont rly care past that
Is it ok to macro
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Azarβs Ritual Forge
/cast Unyielding Netherprism
So they would alternate every second cast for raid fight?

Well akshually
when do ustart holding symbo/dance/secret technique for flag/shadow blades
it changes
on a dummy you send your last dance at 45 seconds until flag is back, at 30 you theoretically "can" use one but it will start eating into flag dances
icic since we get 3 charges of symbol and 2 charge of dance is there every any time we would be solo symboling into secret?
not really with the tier set
There are situations, but they are niche and easy to fuckup
Does the DPS drop drastically after the burst window ends?
ya
is it always flag into rupture or is that just the opening ?
Have you killed nexus king yet guy ?
does anyone know if the bigwigs timers on the 1st boss of streets are not accurate
what i found out if human sub is great for streets
because i pop feint right before it's supposed to come out
you have double immunity for 1st boss
and sometimes it just doesn't for a bit
double immune dont help when you get targeted 3x in row tho
every few

Hi. Is it worth to fit 2 sec techs in first long dance in opener?
question why is al the high rated m+ers full mastery vers.Aint no way the sims dont want crit
flat % dmg reduction ? idk
Just crit when it matters /s
Also its 50/50 to crit anyways, either you crit or you dont
./s
why would i build crit when i just always crit anyway
Just snap cb
if you can yeah, its better
How do you guys handle the late ShT combo refill proc'd by Coup ? I have the instinct to not instantly press filler when I have 5 or 6 ShT stacks bc of the late refill but that feels really weird
Is there a specific WA for this ? I saw Imexile having a bar appearing when using coup in the last RWF
Already have the gunshot refill sound which doesn't always work (that's why I also added a sound when I reach 7 ShT stacks, double protec)
I just have an actual sht tracker and mentally prepare myself to react if if it's at 5 or more stacks
I have mine set to pixel glow at 5 or 6 and then actual glow at 7
i have an animation on my UI when i get a coup to know to be ready
it goes woosh and disappears then appears again
do we still go coup > ss > coup outside of CDs, seems like sims use bs when not in cds?
not without blades
ta i thought that would be the case
is netherprism good in M+ as well?
very
as long as you dont die its very good
turbo bis
trying to figure out between..... myth lily or normal netherprism lol. do i sim dslice?
or do sub use double on-use if i have both?
ye just sim it, don't be afraid of double on use - especially for m+

how do you even use double on-use...? lily is 1.5 min and blades is 1.5 already
use another hotkey?
normally double on use is forge and prism, lily and prism isnt really very good
but you'd go lily>lily>prism>lily>prism
etc
just send on the packs you dont have blades
no you definitely use prism with blades lol
you just wait until you have 18 stacks and use it
trink 1 + blades > trinket 2 on next pack with dances etc > trinket 1 with blades repeat
if you have another on use
prism is stacking to 8 from a blade to blade window but you want to extend that with another on use so prism stacks higher
brother why are we buffing random shadow dances
lmao
what a play
i'll sim it, but that seems odd to only use every other blade. gets so little value and decreases value of my lily
we're talking m+ right?
well yeah like i said you dont really use it with lily often
no way you just sit on lily and dont use it for like 1.5 mins

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.
forge+prism is good because you get to abuse a strong 2m trinket and also have prism stack up
lily+prism is not very good
it's aboslutely fine lmfao
just if you were to use lily and prism you would not use it the way this guy is telling you
lmao
especially in m+ when you still get a huge amount of dam without blades up
just sim it
i did, it won
and if it sims well on an m+ route use it
today im about to use forge+prism in keys for the first time
got both on hc in the span of 2 days
cant wait to fire 18 stacks on some unsuspecting trash pack
nope you're supposed to use an 8 stack prism on your dances outside of blades

literally not what i said lmfao

that can be lily 
I mean he is kinda right
When you know you use your Prism with the next set of CDs
you could use Lily for something else
before
ye Bel is high or smth
except thats not what he said to do
sub kinda fun in m+

Language Barrier
get to actually do boss damage
frfr

he straight up recommended using one trinket every blades and the other outside every time

Im gettin this assa/outlaw vibes, guys, we dont fight over rotation in sub channel π
y i k e s
!wa
that is the least charitable way of reading what i said lmfao, obviously i didnt mean to send prism early if thats the trinket you're using, i just meant you dont not use your lily for 1.5 mins and just sit with it off CD, that would be wild
!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.
more so i wanted to compare some diff talents when the sim only uses evis
you can use priority_rotaiton=1
it is a parameter you can set to check the diffence
e.g. i give you one example
on 5 targets, with
CUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM2mBAAAAAgZZMWmGzgZmxYMjxMzMMmtZxYstNzMYmxYMzysNAAAAMDGAjZzwADMLahWsBD
you lose roughly 5% aoe while gaining roughly 10% prio damage
When we have dance & symbols rdy and at full cp do we cast a finisher and then enter dance or dance-finisher?
if we move up to 8 targets
it becomes a slightly bigger loss with very similar single target increases
ive been dance-finisher-backstab
you can sim it by simply:
/simc in game
and adding this below the sim in advanced sim:
copy="prio"
priority_rotation=1```
if you wan to have the diffrence %
chart_show_relative_difference=1
relative_difference_from_max=1```can add this at the top of the sim
dance-finisher is perfectly fine

If cooldown get desynced, what amount of charges on symbols/dance do i wanna have before entering flag ? I remember someone gave exact numbers here but can't find them
The very minimum is 1.3 Dance and 1.7 symbs
1 charge and around 30 sec left on the 2nd dance charge
symbols you want 1 charge and around 8 sec left on the 2nd charge
aight ty
1.3 dance might lead to have 1 GCD or 2 without dance buff during flag/blades before your second sec tec depending on coups procs
correct me if I'm wrong
So i was doing double on use on progg of forge and i was doing insane dmg, than i switches to prism + pacemaker for kill and did poop dmg
Wonder what i did wrong as most / top logs don't play double on use there
Did you have the same amount of dance casts ?
I saw rogues tend to not use anything in intermission but my pillar really struggle
should be something like 22.5 sec of cdr from finisher with 5 finishers in 1 dance not counting supercharger
obviously do what you need to do to secure the kill
but more resources sent on pillars
and counting 2x coup
means less resources for the amp
cuz you would be holding coup going into cds
which is where a large amount of your value comes from
I think I need to start using those naked sectech more
Im sitting on sectech too often
thx for the precisions Stealthi
quick maf
the coup goes skraaaa
When do we stop casting dances or symbols, when flag is <20 seconds?
bc this pic of this mfer makes me happy
Actually cracks me up lmao
but its more so important to have used the amount of dances between that you can so you dont overcap charges
and you wanna have done that before you get to 20 sec or less
so it usually means stopping with dances at around 30
!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.
My problem this season is that we're breezing through fights in normal and hc and I don't even get to feel out the spec. And now that we hit the harder bosses, I don't feel like I am 100% in tune yet.

this website is rly good to see how others use cooldowns on fights
mght be a good starting point
Some pulls double on-use feels really good and some pulls itβs just straight up annoying .. I donβt know why
I'm using lorrgs, but it's less about knowing when to hold flag etc but more about stuff like dry sectecs and holding coups etc
I'm parsing orange mostly anyways, so I'm not worried about that. It's more this feeling that I haven't achieved the mastery I'd like to with the new tierset
When do we generally replace the 701 DISC belt?
There's no generally afaik. Sim angle.
Depends need to run sims, some may with 710 belt some never
can be as early as heroic, but in mythic for sure
you will replace it at one point
interessting
But it sim different every time I do it tho
i just replace it because it breaks my stealth every time
Make sense
I probably have to top gear it, because droptimizer has been completely ass recently
It breaks stealth because you're using the wrong ability on it
I need to cook what spec im playing on fractilus next raid, i saw some sub rogues popping off and make me interested
I did pretty good dmg on loomithar this week as assa tho
Im just worried since i stack every aoe with tanks I may eat Grass as ass
yea if kill timer gets closer sub goes hard
Yeah but lowering time in excecute
sin might suffer if it cannot get two dms in execute
Yeah I know
public of course likely there are higher assa ones private
I dont see myself on meters as ass until I pop in excecute
Specially with prism π
well around 5 min kill timer is kinda ideal for sub
as it is when you send the 18 stacker at 4:30
and if you know you only have 1 pot you send it there too
Arent you sending 18 stacker at 3min
my guild has lower dps, I have been punished for holding recently
And than normal one at 4 30
not with forge
aint nobody got no forge
i got nm forge and lfr prism
And if prism drop for me this week, hunter will yonk it as he run lily
it works with pvp trink just it is not forge
too much mental load with 60s cooldown for the potential upside
forge is at least straight forward
Hey, boys I wanna try a sub do you recommend using hekili as a base to learn spec? Or is it bad?
Im not prio for mythic forge prism or antena for the moment so i think I will chill with normal trinkets for a while
I just need a forge for double on use. Got the rest on mythic already 
any lily gamers?
Do we hold prism at bosses without amps? Did 3dh dudes and just macroed prism to blades. That fight is already shit enough without thinking about prism
Only *
I just rotate forge and prism there
on scale 1-10 how mad would you be when on forge in second amp the boss gets a shield for 5 seconds? π
!wa
Is prism+forge in simc or do we need a custom script?
nah it should be in simc already
!log
something doesn't feel right about macroing dance and thistle tea together
surely it's worth pooling for burst instead of just sending?
Don't think so
You send 2 in your opener already if macroed

how does that make sense
you get some free mastery when you deal the most damage
If you need something visual, I would watch the Shinding video on youtube about Subtlety on TWW followed by his 11.2 video on rogues.
ye but stuff like staying above 30 energy
as well
I keep seeing people just say "macro it to dance and forget about it"
just seems weird to me
that's what I do
I probably lose 2 or 3 charges to auto tea, but I couldn't care less
per key
What fotm alts are you guys playing
I got a balance druid but boomie stonks are way down
my fotm alt is monster hunter wilds :^)
i play sub rogue as alt when i am tired of subtlety
do we ever sectec without symbols?
no
and can i macro them together
Neither
Cuz sometimes, you press sod > evis > sectech
Cause sod supercharge your 2 next finisher
hmm okay ty
new to sub in keys. when is it better to send black powder over eviscerate or visa versa ?
even while playing subtlety rogue, being forced to play sub rogue
!gear
i have nightmares of being forced to play the best designed/most fun melee spec in the game, its such a punishment... people are so cruel forcing this faith on us....
prism is also rly fun
you have nightmares about playing arms warrior?
bp on 4 targets as a general rule
ok thank you
I just macro-ed it to SB so far and didn't try using it more manually yet.
yesterday I tried to really improve my Dimensius HC parse, but those other dps are killing stuff too quickly >< https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2PXZYTfvzKt3nFdA?fight=12&type=damage-done&source=212
I managed to pop burst twice in p1
held when it came back on first add cause it was likely gonna die before the end of CDs
are there any APLs for double on use or do sims take it into account?
sent on second platfrom
but it wasn't back for Amp + BL at start of p3....
Not sure how we can optimize with these timings, the logs I've been looking at have been... slower kills.
In retrospect maybe I should not have popped CDs at all during p2
sims take forge + prism into account, unsure of other trinket combos
sims acount for it
was trying it with lily and i think its scuffed since lily comes back
Guys, not pressing Coup de Grace 20 seconds from flag does it mean I'm spending on black powder in single target if that happens ?
you can run a quick sim and look at the ability timeline to confirm
depends on if you need the additional cdr
That means I could not be pressing any button for 20 seconds ???
it accounts for it, gg
!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.
Backstab while waiting i guess
sometimes it do be like that, but you can still maintain rupture
anyone have any idea why my chat commands dont work anymore
backstab soup
i tried that too
i get no response from game
it seems the commands are half broken, my chat doesn't respond to /combatlog but it does function
/rc brings up some weird weird ass menu, i have to /readycheck
Do ST dmg is increased even if i press SD and/or SoD just during the lag ?
im not sure what you're trying to say
Secret tec dmg are lagged like half a second after we press it
sectech is a 3 part attack
one hits when you press the ability so at 0 sec
then two clone attacks follow at 1sec after press and 1.3
the dmg is dynamic
so whatever buffs you have when the dmg lands on either
is what they get
Ok thank you
I love how you call that "lag"
Hey guys, with prism, are you waiting for a certain number of stacks before sending?
there is 2 builds that sub players are playing? any change on rotation?
chat how come when sometimes when im doing the first part of coup with the 4 piece i cant cast any globals but sometimes i can
theres players who believe weaponmaster does anything
and players who know the truth
u doing m+ or raiding
m plus

is it better to spread rup during downtime in aoe or just spam shuriken>bp ?
Coup has a 1.2 second gcd
depends on how long the adds will live. Usually good to spread rup while tank gathers
