Ye Flawless Transcation
Well fuck now i've gotta add that to my list of content to do.
I finished hardmode, but we died on colorboss because who the fuck needs to interrupt amirite bois
Damn, he got it done on the 9th January 
Imo
I did 2/8M in a pug in week 3 I'm retiring
Taszavesh Harmode Deathless giving myth track
Ill turboboost deez nuts
I think it's a good experiment, but it is a little bit dangerous
oh yeah it shows stupid american date lol
The items sucking fat dookie makes it forgivable
Well yeah but still toxic af, if one guy does a mistake or gets a dc its over for everyone
I'm just gonna do it with a Prot Pal, 3 Sub rogues, and a Shaman healer
I just refuse to hardmode, it sounds like it'll get toxic as fuck
Unlucky, get better gamerfriends
Yeah. I do think it'd be better if it was a personal thing (but then you'd have people just leave if they failed so)
We are never bringing chad again
It's completely unpuggable in the conventional sense of pugging, which I think is fine.
it's not a good system, very toxic
Because chad fucked us that one time
fwiw, Im memeing, hardmode is fine as is and I dont mind it
I just don't like m+ and hardmode feels like my issues with m+ but amplified
it has no timer though
YEAH WELL I MEAN
You can just take Hardmode extremely slow
which makes it really different
Get 18 netherprism stacks each boss...
if you already dont like dungeons in that format, its kind of a given
yeah you can 18 stack prism
swap talents
drop a turnip and farm stacks
wait for lust
Yeah
I mean being responsible for your own Myth track would be better
Absolutely
i think it should have given 1 myth track piece for the entire season
but as you said, it would be a guild thing
It'd feel better with buddies if one makes a mistake. Well rip HIS drop but he's still gonna, hopefully, do it for his comrades
tied to the achieve
Hopefully doing alot of lifting in that sentence bud
This means spending more time in dungeons, I already gotta do 8 10s a week and I hate it
In my perfect world I raidlog
classic
Yeah..
Yes true
Im doing that my whole life what you mean
Imagine even attempting the dragon 
Gambit legit such a chill key imo
I'm not doing it just because it amuses me at this point
I still need the mount from gambit 
That happened in my run. Tank missed kick and procced my cheat but no official death
Best thing is I don't even need the portal, the ecodome portal works fine
Haha true
every key is a chill key, but only if the key is chill
that means ara is not a chill key
yep
Bricked quite a few 12/13 Ara's yesterday.
Then finally got it done and now I will never run it again
ye ara is not fun
gambit is chill, eco is hella chill, uuuhhmm
Dawn is pretty alright assuming your pug doesn't faceplant on the first boss
^
...or falls through the boat

on 5 dummys i do more dps if i spam shuriken storm into Eviscerate then shurikenstorm into black powder (no cds just with nimble flurry applied) is this right??
- do i have to track find weakness on my platers?
- if i get coup outside of dance, do i hold it until i'm in dance, or do i want the flawless stacks for when i'm in dance?
1 - no
2 - you don't hold coup usually, you can hold it for a small amount of time beofre flagellaiton/shadow blades (at max 20 sec)
sounds like you're doing something funky
are you skipping the coup casts when doing storm -> bp?
how much dps is good for 1 min on the target dummies (5 targets)?
So when I'm in dance and i only get 5 CPs from SS do i Evi or do i SS again and then evi ?
ss again
Some of you have delay between Coup CP refund ?? That's so annoying, i'm often sending builder for nothing
Mehhh
Also when i'm about to dropt out of dance @alpine wraith ?
yes
same appliys to coupe ?
coup would do dmg outside dance anyway
so just SS again
if you have 2 globals left and know you won't have energy for another builder into finisher it's best to do finisher into builder
most of the time our last global is like when dance has 0.x secs left
ty fuu - i'm using your WA's - does something there track shadowcraft stuff?
ye i just wanted to spam shuriken into blackpowder vs shuriken into evisc
ohhh you don't have flawless form up either?
just spamming those 2?
but that would make bp spam stronger
I'm confused
i applied nimble flurry in both cases
i don't track shadowcraft, but if you want you can use the sound weakaura to know when you get refunds easier
!wa
^ its also part of the command
ah okay then the diff is probably just that you get coup procs
it's not that big a difference between evis and bp spam
but if you completely neglect coup when bp spamming and benefit from it when evis spamming then evis is obv stronger
since you're benefitting from the 4-set
guys, what rogue spells are off gcd? im playing on NA with 130 ping and i cant tell if stuff are on gcd or not or if its just the lag 
shadow dance, shadow blades, symbols of death, thistle tea, cold blood
hmm ok, sometimes when i press sdance/symbols then backstab the backstab doesn't immediately register
so i thought symbols might've been on gcd
guess it's just lag
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
We do not recommend macroing your cooldowns together because most of them result in performance losses compared to using them manually.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null```
```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 as well.
!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 or with 4+ targets, 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.
ok thx for your help ❤️
People seem to just throw coup into the same category as evis
It's sectec > coup > bp > evis if you have 4+ targets
(terms and conditions apply)
If you mindlessly bp spam without using your coup, you're pissing away all the damage you get from 4p
evis is the same button so its a bit confusing
but yes, you need to be careful to still use coup in aoe
!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.
well if coup is up you dont have evis, its coup then
for any reason
Swish swoosh swish it is
i have that one - it makes a sound when i get a refund but dont i want to know if i get one before it happens?
I don't understand why in aoe we do :
- SD > symbol > backstab > sectech > shadowstrike > BP > shadowstrike > BP
and not:
- SD > symbol > backstab > sectech > shuriken storm > BP > shadowstrike > BP
it would give one more danse macabre stack earlier am I wrong ?
because of nimble flurry

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.
!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 <
one shadowstrike with flawless form deals more damages than 6% bonus damages for the next few gcd ? (depending on procs)
yes but it gives 6% overall damages during SD with dance macabre
Pretty simple
math says its not worth
do we bp at 5 targets with ff or evis for nimble cleave?
can sonone teach me sub rouge in a 1-1 coaching session on voice please ?
okok got it
my feelycraft says it is though 🤡
So? SD doesn't last half a minute
im surprised it is not
how much you paying?
Get outta here Fimbul 
Has anyone tried to import a simc to hekili for a better rotation? Sorry for this question im new to rogue and trying to learn
it can also proc unseen blades, but yes, strike does damage while storm does not
You won't learn if you use hekili is the issue
the rotation page on wowhead has the sequence that you need to press every time
can pay with gold if needed
the first SD after out of combat is quite long still, with backstab / shadowstrike prolongations
You don't get longer dances
I check fuu wowhead

do you guys know what wa is this?
that shows key info like %\
its an addon
can you give me a name?>
i dont know that one, but i use WarpDeplete
🙂
or maybe its both
np
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/angry-keystones
i forgot exactly why i have it tbh
since im pretty sure the WA does the same job
Auto Gossip
During Mythic Keystone dungeons it will automatically select gossip entries for you. For example for starting Odyn and his trash, and Court of Stars buff objects.
wait
the WA does that also

xdd
maybe its really really redundant now
i think i used to have it for !keys
to list it in party
for 2nd dance in shadowblades, do i need to wait for 1st dance to officially end, or can they overlap?
but bigwigs does that
you cant dance while in dance
oh
just use next one when the first one is expiring
you can press it right after
but the first dance (not the talent) needs to end before you begin your 2nd
anyone got WA to track buffs on sub rouge ?
!wa
NA vault when
6 hours
whats best pacl ?
pack ?
whatever looks most visually appealing to you
i run luxthos because i play a few different classes
so its nice to keep consistency
Thats like asking whats the best cereal, and there are weird people out there eating cereal with raisins in it
its nutritious
could be worse, you could microwave your cereals
anyone fancy teaching me sub for gold ?
Do u guys flag before u spread some ruptures in m+?
towards the topic, there is no "Best", all of them have the core things you need. Some track additional stuff and all will be visually diffrent

the best weakaura setup is usually a frankenstein which suits your preferences
could probably message guy
i'd offer to do it but i'm in a kinda cbf mood atm
I just use Zac cause I played Outlaw before
was there a macro for CB with sectec?
you can do that
its just /cast cold blood /cast Secret techniqueBUT
if you do that, make sure to have a 2nd bind without cold blood to be able to optimize the use
because cold blood is used 2nd secret technique during shadow blades/flagellation
Which sub spec is the best? I’ve seen couple of them for m+
subtlety is the best subtley spec
by far
i assume you ask how all 3 compare in m+, assassiantion has some dungeons it is better at and subtlety has a few so play what you like more or both ^^
maybe he meant which build
you can't rly go that wrong with builds, can take it from high r.io rogues or one of the guides and be fine
which dungeons is assa better? i would like to play both specs
I'm taking gloomblade and goremaws to see how wrong I can make a build out of spite now
Do they have different strengths and weakness from each other ?
Im just trying the Rotten build now
anyone coach me for gold ? new to sub
is there an addon or a feature that allows solely tab target between casters?
Sims keep telling me to go CB in dungeonslice but idk
Bet
no shadowblades/flagellation/secret technique/danse macabre
A challenge has been presented, who's up to the task
I think I threw up in my mouth
my challenege ?
the real hard mode
it uses pv and warning sighn
Oh shit what i wrote 🙃
haha
cb and tea are close, so you can do both and be fine
I meant talents. I’ve seen 3 different ones
fuu's nightmare build rather 🙂
I Just don't like tea autocast so i stay with cb... Also no more rotten likes a lil bit more crit to better apply fw
Someone said a no-no word 
Fuark
This looks so bad i want to try it
I saw you run this build
there should be a break the meta but for scuffed builds instead of specs
I need a reason to play this demon shit
Maybe if you want to get kicked from a +5 pug?
Imagine needing a bad build to get kicked from a +5
WEAK
Its already late enough in the season (week 3) that a +5 is legit harder to time than a 15
You know…at this point, I’m thinking, why is SB a talent anyways?
i think it would be fun for one of the streamers
to make a challange on how bad they can make the talent builds on each spec
and then have to play a +10 or so with a group of "worse builds"
can anyone coach me in sub rouge please in a discord voice ? stuggling
Showed up to the last boss of a floodgate 9 today with 65% trash. It was an experience
!guides
think he specifically asks because he does not want to read ^^
Can someone offer me reading classes please? Will pay in gold
i dont do well with guides i learn more from listening and doing ^
Either that or make the sub rogue guide an audiobook
hm well some of the greens and you shadowblades do coach right?
dyslexic
struggle to read so thanks ^
the red name checks out 
Tbf I understand this part, like most hunters I can’t read
But I think you asking over and over is what’s annoying folk
Coaching in general is not a service we provide, people doing it out of kindness of their heart is still not something to spam public channels about 
thankyou
There are people who coach, but they do it for money
Which is totally valid of course
i think its mostly about filtering information
I'll coach but the advice I give will be incorrect and I only accept payment in skittles.
I don’t play subtly but I can coach I guess
I think you wanna press the buttons that do the most damage
are people who would say they need video/audio to comprehend
Idk
Press black powder or some shit
That will be £30
is blades after sectech the optimized rotation, or blades before sectech?
"press shadow dance on cooldown" - discombobulatedgoat
Who leaked my private proprietary coaching guide, I was gonna get so many skittles from that 
Me
just press right buttons at the right time, ty for your money
doesnt make a difference
"Have you heard about goremaws? Good talent"
so i think the part that sticks out for me as important in learning is just to be able to have interaction
there's a higher chance to mess up blades after sectec though
ask chatgpt to dictate the wowhead guide to you
so in the end i would suggest just asking questions on things that are unclear
Have your coach be your sugar daddy
haha
"ChatGPT, read the wowhead guide to me with Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice"
“Hey chat gpt, make me a subtly build”
I want some skittles now
That would acc be pretty funny
needs to be authentically Austrian
oh boy do i have a dungeon route for you
"Alright so you want to use Goremaws...."
I wanna see what it says now XD
They're mine
“Why is your dps so low”
“Chatgpt told me to play this”
I had it explain the sub rotation to me and it was amazing actually (grok 4), it really knew its stuff and it was current and accurate 😛
Elon get back to your main account
looool
chatgpt build #subtlety message
XD please don't
oh yeah? now I'm actually gonna go look at history and paste it here
True
if i have coup available with dance/symbols, is it preferred to use coup outside of dance or within dance?
They make great animefeet pics when quake doesnt supply them
I have the truth:
is there any setting or addon to make tab prioritize caster mobs?
i figured id want the flawless stacks for my dance, so i'm guessing i use before dance and then do a big sectech within dance with bp's?
is this finally a build where deathstalker could be better than trickster?!
they have no sole
“Uhm ashktually generatvie AI ish the bwad Ai, not A-wai in gwenewal 👆 🤓 “
Thats standard, tabtarget has some weird prio for casting mobs,not casters in general
oh yes absolutely
if you use this build vs. a regular detahstalker build
lmfao
But, its also not something you can manipulate with macros or weakauras, unluck go next
We sectec first finisher in dance and the do double coup
it will be crushed
A route so cursed it lagged MDT out
deathstalker confirmed good, respeccing right now
(for legal reasons this is a joke)
wait so if i get every rogue in the game to use the cursed build i can finally play deathstalker?
so what you are saying is, we need a programmable targeting addon?
fuu recommends deathstalker if you dm him for the secret sauce
so youre saying there is a chance
he is withholding the actual best dps build from us
btw. i get nightmares
of the daily updates of auraupdater
can't wait for that to be removed/banned
its very hit or miss
i find it either does it well or not at all
so there's no addon or anything because the game doesnt allow it?
Works well for me personally, it just sometimes tabs to a dumbfuck mob that is casting, but not the one I want to kick
its great 60% of the time
The game doesnt allow it, and it would be too complicated to implement practically
then it tabs blue targets
there's some weird target prio with cvars you can do according to goole
but i know nothing of what that means
Should have given this route to the bear tank earlier
ok so if i have sectech, symbols, and dance up, and coup procs, i do this?
- dance, bs, coup, storm, coup, strike, symbols, sectech?
Agreed
"you can improve your targeting by adjusting the game's built-in CVar settings to prioritize casting enemies"
according to google
I update that fucker 5min b4 raid and somehow im 20 versions behind?
According to google ai or some dumb site that doesnt know what its talking about
KEK
This only makes it so you can tabtarget mobs that are in combat, it has nothing to do with casting or not
i see
i figured it was just dumb ai things
but like you miss 100% of shots you dont take
nope you'd send sec tech as your first finisher after BS with dance and symbols up into strike > coup > strike > coup (if you had shadowblades up you would storm instead of strike) this is also assuming you don't proc shadow techniques and get a cp reset in between coups
I mean, you could also google the command itself and see what it does
(and just not read ai replies
)
it downloads more ram for you
oh i see, it's because sectech has 3 hits so u just get that out with my supercharge first and then get my flawless stacks for the 2nd and 3rd sectech hits?
Anyways, meeting time
I just tab and if I land on the mob casting and interrupt, it was meant
If not, it was not meant.
Nothing to be done.
the ultimate demon key
The problem is, you can't rly get information about target position/visibility
mouse over has its limitations when you are dodging big blue circles and using mouse buttons for rotation stuff while camera and etc
so creating a smart target addon is not possible
thats what the robot said, API limitations
its also trying to give me a macro for it so w/e i guess i try that prob wont work
Im playing game for long time and I never used tab for target swap
this is why i hate AI
Dumb question but why on dimensious when I shadowstep does it put me front middle of boss in p1 but when I’ve watched rwf sub povs it looks like it stops them in place
it will give you a macro to use for the thing you ask for, but if you ask it if the thing it gave you works, it will say no
i stopped doing that after i played arena for a while. but it's easier to hit the nameplate in a 3 target fight (or just click on gladius/sarena) than to do so in a 20mob pull in pve
I just use mouseover myself
the position you shadowstep to is pre-defined so if you stand there it will look as if you stay in place
i use tab pargeting sometimes
is saving combo points through shadow techniques (up to 14) before the burst a thing?
eg we auto attack save energy for 15 seconds before flag combo is up
or do we dont do that, and do regular rotation and just save shaadowdance/symbols of death is enough
i wish https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/enemy-grid would not be purged and be clickable tho
before cds sometimes you build to full
then keep backstabbing
that way you dont waste sht
but still get unseen procs
Maybe I’m missing something but that still doesn’t feel like it explains how to not teleport front middle on p1 dimmy from the tank knockback
they have a macro to step to a dk
on the knock
or mage with alter
if you step boss you do go to the middle
exile had one with name because you also use it for p2
Sometimes my platers stack up. Is there a way to have casters prioritized towards the front (on top of others)? Especially if they're casting?
Hey, sorry to bother you guys, I'm new to sub and trying to improve, I feel that I'm respecting the rotation explained on the wowhead guide but my parse are awful (12% ilvl 🙃 ) so I must be missing something. Could somebody help me review my logs or is there a website that could analyze it for me?
you can open a log review by typing !log
!log
!wa
thank you!
a lot of mistakes come from cooldown management
e.g. not presisng cooldowns enough is super common for new players especially in m+
you need to link a log
I am trying to fight my habit of holding cds for too long
I am too stingy with my flag
unless a pack is about to die, or you know there's a much bigger pull coming after
you're generally better off just letting it rip
just think about it this way
yeah but sometimes I underestimate how long that "low hp" pack takes to die
if you delay flag for 20 secs you will lose casts
more casts over the course of the dungeon will be more impacful than a few "perfect" casts
the best way to know if pack is dying fast is also having a way to track other people's cds
comes with experience and knowing the damage profile of the rest of your group like hachadino mentioned
worst case if you misjudge
you could always send another dance + symbols
to tide you over
usually other people hold too and it takes years to kill it off 
it's not perfect but if a pack is dying slow you can usually farm up another set of cds before you get to the next pack
also true
always flame your tank

struggling playing 2 usable trinkets, how do u guys macro it? shadow blades + trinket and another keybind shadow blades + the other trinekt? or we have some clever way to do it
I bound both on use to side mouse buttons
ultimately it comes down to personal preference, but best case is you have separate binds for each
if you want to be lazier
you can macro both into shadowblades if you're running forge:
/cast shadowblades
/use 13 (forge)
/use 14 (prism)
yes, i was thinking about it but sometimes they both are off cds, 13 will always be used first?
and have a diff bind for prism alone
in case you hold cds and forge comes up again
it'll prio forge first and as long as you're hitting blades on cd you'll use prism every other set as intended, but it's still recommended to have a separate bind for prism for fights where you hold cds and forge comes off cd
like araz
Hello. Is there an addon that counts how many enemies are nearby? So it is easier in the chaos of m+ to determine when to evisce and when to bp. Also do you bp at 7+ and evisce till 7 or?
yes 13 will always be used first if it's off cd
if it's on cd it'll use 14
bp at 4 and up
how to get the spreadsheet for m+ where u get what def skill mitigates what damage?
we use shadowstrike always during dance
!def
Rogue Defensive Spreadsheet: > Click to open <
Awesome ty 😊
ty
why the fuck feint does not apply to half of the attacks
like locust swarm
is it not aoe attack?
ye
in the spreadsheet it does not have it
- xd
op af it is, especially on sub
i survived a few scenarios with feint + evasion where i got aoe + 2 cast on me at the same time, its legit wild
on keys like 15-16
ye, going cheat death is completely greed on the healer and party
Abuse cheatdeath in raid
i will try it, ty
i do it even on hc but its cz i dont care tbh, if i would mythic i'd %100 play cheat also
I meant mythic so yea
its safer i mean
Well, for one it's just safer and covers mistakes, and two you can completely ignore or solo mechanics with it.
you mostly get deleted instantly anyways if you make a mistake on mythic, especially early season with low ilvl. so going elusiv is not worth at all anyways, you die before casting a feint mostly lol
ye i guess it makes sense for prog
elu is objectivly better but we are humans and make mistakes
Eh depends on fight
so you play cheat unless bosses have very predictable dmg
like on dimensius or saladbar
ye actually depends on fights and such a gamer you are. if you trust yourself elusiv> on any content
i don't know if elu is better, because feint reduces most spells already enough to be non deadly
loom and frac
Ive had elu on entire tier cause i legit forget to swap cheat
And having evasion as a defensive is quite nice
for sub ye prolly. my assa has a mosquito level durability tho
cheat also kills you quite a bit this tier
because remember 2 dmg instances fast if cheat procs you ded
indi game
as i remember it was always like that, so been using elus since last season sl personally
you can potentially argue that elu makes you the better player
because less mistakes are corrected by cheat death
I like that i can greed with cheat
so you have better feedback on mistakes (because you just die)
Ye also if we die we lose prism stacks, am i right?
!wa
Eh.. so big mistake results in death+lose stacks.. i think i'll stay with cd to not be punished twice in case of death
Also i'm not that good to play no cd atm, road is still long 🤟
@vale pine sorry to ping, but how do you sim with prepull cheese? I can't find it D:
both supercharger and disorienting strikes
raid_events+=/buff,buff_name=supercharge_2,first=0,cooldown=999999```
sick ty <3
thats only supercharger
ye just realized haha
raid_events+=/buff,buff_name=disorienting_strikes,first=0,cooldown=999999```
if you want disorienting too
you need to put it in expert mode
do you have somewhere you keep track of all this
!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.
or do you just remember/check the docs
Hey, stacking ShT 10sec before Flag is worth, I bet this applies to "dry" dance+symbols in a lesser extent isn't it ? Like 3 4 sec ?
yes, you can stop using finisher ~10 sec before cooldowns
is there any way to simulate with cheap shot casts?
seems like it won't cast because boss isn't stunnable
Hey Stealthi if you around, heard you made a WA for the 1.2 Coup GCD to manage better the potential ShT Coup proc into full cp refill, do you mind to share ? ♥
Anyone have recommendations for youtube guides for sub rogue in m+?
Shindigs sub tutorial
i think it might because you can cast kidney on immune targets
it makes the sound and spends the CPs but nothing happens
Do you guys track how long you have left on the 2nd coup charge from this tier's 4p? any recommended WAs for that?
is vanish's only offensive use as sub for premed?
yeh
i just have a WA that i fiddled with myself and it just reactivates on the 2nd coup with updated timer
so didn't have to change a thing haha
Yea, I might need to tinker with that an ddo something similar. Mind sharing how you adjusted yours?
honestly don't remember exactly what i did
On a related note, it doesn't matter at what CP we send Coups at though right?
i think i ripped this off an existing WA
You still follow finisher rules for coups, only if you literally can't get to the proper cp in the next gcd would you send coup with low cp
Hey Stealthi if you around, heard you made a WA for the 1.2 Coup GCD to manage better the potential ShT Coup proc into full cp refill, do you mind to share ? ♥
!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 or with 4+ targets, 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.
Wait, so the new escalting blade from 4p has the same spell ID as your normal escalting blades?
yes
!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.

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.
Alright if I'm reading correctly the only shuriken storm during SD is between the first coup de grace and the second in multi target (wowhead priority)? Is shadowstrike really better here?
I guess unseen blade is more valuable, I get it okay
But even with like 8 plus targets?
Yes
Damn i just checked my logs and im too horny in cds pressing dance and symbols still in rupture gcd
!fuu

How do you go around it mentally to not press it too soon ?
Sim
any guide for simming double on-use trinkets?
!symbols
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
Stand on a dummy for hours and do 10 pushups if you do it wrong
watch the circle of the gcd spin
cool pasttime
We dont, keep doing this so I gain 0.02 parse
sorry new rogue here just wanted to confirm my understanding from the guides
everytime we do shadow dance + symbol combo, we always do 1 backstab first correct?
doesnt matter if we are doing flagellation + shadowbloade + shadow dance + symbol, or just shadow dance + symbol only
I dobt even know if I have one ;D
develop boomer reaction timings 😉
Im the biggest boomer
you're halfway there
If i press it at end of rupture gcd I bealive im fine, but I do so in middle of some times 😄
yes@earnest canyon, but using strike is not a big loss
if you prefer it for learning
i have similar type problems sometimes because of how piano sub is in cds
having higher ping doesn't help either
want to get muscle memory from the start. thanks for the confirmation!
Yo guys, which stat pot I need to use when I have flat 22k Versa and 17k Mastery and 9k crits ?
22k versa? do you even take dmg?
how much % is that?
28%
damn
I have like 35 in raid
Always last target is healers details hahahaha
without buffs and potions ? insane
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
With everything
It's why I ask for which stat I need to take with flasks
use the flask section
they're usually very close between alch chaos, vers and mastery
Thx I didn't know
in multi target, at what target count do i use Shuriken storm instead of shadowstrike?
Always strike in dance
ok cool thanks
only storm in dance between coups if you have shadow blades active or enough shadow techniques stacks to get 6+cp from one storm
I need to paste my simC code and below the txt right ?
did you run as advanced sim
and paste the consume part under your simc input you copied from the in-game addon
share 👀
- sec
this txt works for other classes or only rogue ?
Works for others but pretty much everyone uses alchemical chaos anyway
Since its noticeably more stats overall
What's the difference with other wa for coups ?
omfg it's not letting me send w/o nitro because of character limit
honestly no idea haha
copy it to paste
I'm getting mine in vault today ong fr fr
the pvp trinket seems to outsim lily by quite a bit
can finally put our frost dk in his place in keys
hmm imma check it out
Yeah. Just not sure I wanna add that to coggy load in keys
currently using pvp trinket
I'm manifesting a mythic ritual forge in my vault
you can pickpocket it after finishing a quest
Thx 🙂
did you copy this part
you can also farm floodgates on normal/heroic. mobs in there drop wax as well
I dunno i SIM prism+forge and seems bad, i try in key and Is like +500k+ overall
yea, you are right. I guess I should have simmed vs fully upgraded lily
Think 2 on use dep a lot in usage, sim doesn't cover all situation in plus
It only drop on rogue or I can farm it with my VDH for example ?
only on rogue
Ok thx
you get it only through pickpocketing, no?
no, mobs in floodgate drop it when killed
all mobs in flood ?
nah its lootable from kobolds in the ringing deeps and dungeons down there as well
Are sub "broken" right now or why are people saying its gonna be nerfed. Multiple times today in dungeons people have written this. Just rumors or jealous of the class? ^^
because they don't know how sub works
all kloblins/kobolds i think. didnt really farm it in floodgate mainly pickpocketed before flood came out and still have ~15 stacks
We could use a bit of a ST buff though, no?
pure ST is a bit low fs, but not like unplayable or anything
tl;dr:
subtlety is a burst spec, individuals get baited by clips shared on social media you see only the peak of burst but not how damage behaves after
think of it like this
if a spec is supposed to do burst damage and not much between
if it did the same as other classes which are not designed with this limitations
yea, but how about we just emphasize us being below aug on fract lol
it would be terrible and nobody would play it
thats why im hoping that blizz will not nerf sub despite it being prevalent rn bc burst is just really good in a couple specific fights
likewise, but if you see what happened to fury S1, I dunno if I have too much hope
Assa deserve more nerfs than us lmao
but they've been heavy handed in the past even if specs aren't technically overperforming and just well positioned.
ass needs bugfixes before they do anything to the numbers tbh
but only now slightly reduced this tier
welp got highest sub parse for a 12 and forgot to log it xd
it was such a clear outliner
on eco dome
F
i got rank 9 on araz last night and carried the motherfuck outta my team lmao
our spriest parsed a 0 
nice
think i would've got a significantly higher number if i could get my burst to line up with the amp
you cant flag on opener for last boss or you miss the timing
10s until flag when you are getting the 3rd amp ghost
they died tho
send 1x dance before to make it line up without losing a ton of dps
he died every pull
no like
you need it before
you need to send flag 10s before you pull boss apparently as last usage
Couple stragglers there
Our sp dies every pull aswell
probably more like 15 or 20
ret pally is the rl, the 2nd ele shaman is a healer who got forced onto ele for the fight, the mm hunter only knows how to play bm
How've you killed araz but not soulbinder, you beast
they sat me for the outlaw on soulbinder
my other rogue has a full 5/8
lmao
when we got to soulbinder i was playing sin bc i didn't have a netherprism 
but that was like
3 weeks ago or whatever
im getting forge in vault this week(surely
) and never playing sin again till next tier
sitting you when theres people playing with the one button thing by the looks
You have 3 warlocks bro
ive got one now, i actually have prism+forge on that rogue
But respect
i raid in 2 guilds and one of them is significantly better so eh
becaise that has to be a long time for outlaw to be good
ahhh fairs
in this guild WAY TOO FUCKIN LONG LMAO
i haven't been in for a single soulbinder kill and every week they almost wipe to phaseblades
our outlaw rogue is really good fwiw
tell RL he needs to follow the other rets and go on strike until they buff ret
my guild isnt anything special but the dps is ok
i am like 4th on soulbinder or something
sub cranks for that fight
im gonna ask my RL today to move 1 dps to right platform for saladbar
so i can 18 prism bp it
i dont think you can rly complain
last time i did it i was like 3mil ahead of other dps
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
prism didnt even get full value
Such a pissboss
Guys, is black powder only used in packs with 8 ads or more?
No, 4
it seems like a... eh... better than frac ig lmao
4
Wym kinda
using shadowblades 0.5 seconds before secret technique, or 0.5 seconds after, which one is better?
Soul hunters is also a snoozer if youre not a ranged
sub on paper is bad for frac but i walk away with good parses relative to my guild somehow
thats fair ig there's not really shit going on aside from hunt
the top rogue parse for frac is sub 
or was idk if it changed
yeah but that log is insane highroll
oh i know lmao
Just get good
Its "just dont stand in shit and hope your ranged figure out the mechanics" type fight where what you do has little impact on killing the boss
thats exactly why i hated oab
idk was just strange the dps is the better part of the team ig
bc nothing i did mattered. it was all up to fuckin ranged just not dying
we have giga deadweight on it but the top end carries
yeah wtf is that log
like 600k more dps than all the other sub rogue parses
just crit coup or something?
i believe we came to the conclusion it wasnt the amount of coups
723 trinkets, like 60% crit on coup instead of the 30% he has

yeah
just crit
what're your guys working on eleem
living all of our dreams
i do remember you guys saying the variance on dps due to this tier set
dimensius? or is it done
Im at nexus
you just sending flag on cd there or?
hopefully we kill dimensius this week and go into mythic tomorrow
i miss doing high end stuff
i will say i missed the fuck outta mythic raiding
before aberrus my last CE experience was SoO, since my guild died on blackhand so i never got that CE

i come from swtor, still relatively new here so i get to do it all over again
why did exile opt for replicating/finality instead of the normal planned execution on Saladbar
platform damage if i had to guess
Slightly more cleave during p2 and platform damage ig, but honestly i dont think it matters
I see a lot of high m+ rogues playing the rotten, is it worth playing or do we just go by sim values?
Its for applying fw to all target with shuriken storm after symbols
if you're doing giga pulls it does guarantee you a find weakness on the whole pack with improved shuriken storm
not really anymore
I’ve got mythic lily and mythic nether prism and on nexus king now, Ik antenna sims higher but the select few nexus logs and lots of sub logs still run double use, worth still using 2x on-use or should I still go for antenna?
is arcane mage fun to play as an alt
but like idk i just dont like the talent so i dont play it 
yeah its pretty similar to sub
No

Thats what people are doing, but like ive said before weve tried pretty much everything we can think of to get it to be good in sims but now with tier its just not showing to be worth
lmao fair think ill stick with regular build for now
even casual is running double on use but that may be for raid
the best argument i hear for not taking rotten is that you dont even use it after sectec anymore

you will use it basically as 1st builder in 2nd dance
because from the gather everything has FW
my feelycraft says that running coldblood is better because the amount of teas that i proc at the end of the pack with backstabs
is more than i'd like to notice
why would you storm first builder in 2nd dance
and thats something i dont think gets accounted for in sims
well somewhere around there
you could also just say "yeah dont spam backstab you idiot"
you're only storming between coups in dance
i would say after sectec but meh instead of stab**** seems fine too
In dslice it definitely is
we dont lose anything afaik
but i just wanted to chime in with 2 cents
Do we have a poison macro for quickly applying? Or what poisons are we even running? all new to rogue
when i press cold blood sectech the number really big and makes brain happy, and tea no do that 
💯
you can make a pretty easy castsequence macro with instant and atro
or instant and crippling
thats my reasoning 100%
holy i need sleep
Instant it is, thanks.
like i swear i've noticed higher overall numbers with CB than running tea
but maybe that is confirmation bias
Sim was missing out on casting CB sometimes in aoe if you got lucky procs, CB should be closer to tea now in dslice and the like
if youre running TR where would you put the storm in 2nd dance
between coup
as usual
its still gambling tho kinda right?
ig symbols sectec coup storm coup yeah
so if you don't get a refund you storm
unless you get exceedingly unlucky
you get 2 guaranteed ub's from disorienting
you play second dance like you always do
don't overthink it
don't try to game the rotten+storm into it
if its even needed cause storm in 1st dance coup may apply it
i said that just now yes
you don't connect storm to fw application
the storm between coups may apply fw in 1st dance
well were bping right so thats where fw matters
but yeah i see, you have high rate of getting it from 1st dance anyway
its still a lot
storm crit is 50%?
depends on your crit but somewhere close to that
ill record a few runs and see if its not up naturally and see if im really biased about it i think
!wa
using shadowblades 0.5 seconds before secret technique, or 0.5 seconds after, which one is better? or does it not matter that much. the wowhead guide says to use it slightly before, while the method guide says to use it slighty after
btw gl in vault
I’m ready for another week of belts and other useless things
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
We do not recommend macroing your cooldowns together because most of them result in performance losses compared to using them manually.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null```
```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 as well.
The main difference between now and last tier in regards to rotten is that not only is strike stronger (because unseen blade does more damage and procs more coup), youre also casting way less BPs as you get to coup twice in a row
As an example i looked at a aoe pull where during blades 11 finishers were cast. Last tier that wouldve been 2 sectechs, 1 coup and 8 BPs, now its 2 sectechs, 4 coups and 5 BPs
Do you guys marco Dance+Symbold+BS?
Doesnt matter, but its easier to do it before
is it a dps loss if I do bind my symbols to my dance
and I also have separate symbols on bind
If you have dance on a seperate bind too its fine
But at that point its 
Never?
During blades
I can see it being a bit weird
with first dance
since dance lasts very long and I cant dance again without it ending
Without first dance
I sometimes use extra symbols
or wait
since I cant solo dance cuz I dont have it binded
