good everywhere but pvp
so after the opener, we symbols before ST inbetween and then just hold everything again for flag or can we use symbols/dance another time on its own?
depends on the cdr situation
the number of dances you use between flags can be different based on your cdr situation
you want to have a number of dances and SoD for when you get cds back
yh and what is the rule to make sure that is the case?
stop using at 30sec left on flag cd
if that's the case you messed up somewhere along the way
di
men
si
us 
that is what i am asking
when i can use/not use stuff
Dimmy D's Discount Dimension Dispensary
the only way you'd have 0 dances that close to flag is if you chained them back to back
Guys, hc ritual forge sims for me as a non dps gain, im using lily and sigil.
Is there any obvious reason why that is happening?
i have a solution
take shadow dance off your bars
if you never press it, you can never mess up its usage

That's smart
there's no 100% timeline you follow every time
you generally get 2 dances between first and second flag, 1 possibly 2 between second and third
and that alternates
but it also depends on rng
It's about setting expectations
its about sending a message

Ritual forge isn’t great on its own, because you only have it for every other set of cooldowns. It’s good when paired with netherprism and you alternate them. Not surprising that Lily beats it
Is it worth to wait on max stacks on netherprism before sending with cds?
!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.

why is it rng? isnt the recharge the smae or are you decreasing it in some way? This is like my 3rd day as sub
so the opener, then inbetween flag you can use dance/symbols 2x more then you just hold for flag and that in 'general' shoud be good?
dance and secret technique have cdr components to them based on combo points spent
does symbols?
this is affected by shadow techniques, as well as rng with the tier set granting more or less cdr
no
but you only use symbols with sectech
do i still 100% of the time use symbols before ST?
yes
outside of very niche scenarios
which you likely won't encounter until you're purposefully playing with them
ok but as a noob, when do i just not use dance to make sure i have 2 up?
even if its not optimal
i know its rng
but there has to be a ... 'kind of number'
as I've said
you typically use 2 between first and second flag
and 1 or 2 between second and third
and that alternates
the ability to use 2 between second and third is based on rng
and how much cdr you get bc of it
Should I be using two on use trinkets this season if I have netherprism and Lilly
no
only really want to use prism with forge if you can
Yeh
Prism over Lilly though
Otherwise you're just turning Lily into a 3 minute trinket
yeah prism is far and away our best on-use
is it normal to overlap SoD durations? Im trying to make sure all my sectechs are supercharged but it feels like im wasting SoD duration.
I don’t have forge
the only part of sod you really care about it supercharging sectech
ok makes sense
if you refresh it before pandemic that's w/e
with inevitability the pandemic duration doesn't really mean much
oh god im gonna have to sim every crafted piece and ring varaiation i can
since i have 5pc but one is raid finder 😭
well its gonna be vers/mastery, crit/vers, or crit/mastery
so if you're simming rings its not gonna be crazy
Just comparing my logs to another (much better) sub rogue in my guild and noticing that my average flawless form stacks is MUCH lower than his, anyone know something I might be missing off the top of their head that means I'm sitting at like 14 when he's sitting at like 25?
and unless your crit is massively behind the other two its likely vers/mastery
is he casting notably more coups than you
1 more over the course of the fight I'm looking at
But he's consistently above on stacks
in between cds and after bleeds, should i do nothing to let shadow techniques stack up for next cds?
so how do i like.. figure this out myself to know? lol
how do you know when its ok to use or not use
you count the number of times you cast dance between each flag
I don't know how to explain it more plainly
You learn it through practice
usually your flag cd is a good indicator of when you should use dance is my experience
In our first CD window, we both get to about 17 stacks at around 20 seconds, and then somehow he is consistnetly about to get up to about 27 stacks, whereas I fall off to about 10, we can't see anything TOO different that we're doing. I'm very lost but it's clearly where I'm losing a lot of damage in my sub play 🙃
if it has 30s left you should consider your dance stack/cd
and whether you can get a lot of cdr in the next 30s
Maybe share the log you’re referencing so we can see
This is the comparison view of our buffs, Rise is the good player, I am the not good player
Welcome to DMs or public berratings from any good sub rogues, I'll take all the knowledge I can get

Rotation looks solid. Only thing I noticed is you always shuriken storm between coups. You only want to do that during Shadow Blades window cause it gets you full CP
No. Go farm pacemaker it is 0.4% behind antenna
Thanks! Just spotted that too. Do you know if that'd make as big of a diff to my flawless form stacks as I'm seeing between both of us in these fights? I can't think of a reason it would, obviously wasted global bad though.
you can do it outside blades too if it'll get you 6+ cp
!guide
Eg in aoe
or with enough sht stacks
yeah he's on fracti here
can still get in st
yeah with sht true
ok so rule of thumb to start learning is.. if flag has 30 seconds to come up just dont use anything lol
otherwise just.. kind of yolo it until i figure out wtf im doing
Yes of course
my mains have been monk/dh or tanks and rogue is just kind of weird in this respect lol
Was just giving an example
No, that might cost you a stack here and there but that's not something you're spamming so not a huge diff
other dude said it was fract but I was saying it wasn't limited to aoe, can do it on that fight too
I don’t think that’s what that sim means btw
ok who here does coaching.. like i can sit with them for an hour in voice and spam them questions that are too dumb for this chat?
The one u posted in tc
Effective cp means the combo points you have + supercharger + 5 for coup
thought it was current+sht stacks
!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.
for those of you playing both sin and sub what stats are you putting on these crafted pieces at this point
crit vers or
have wep/wrist crit mast
cant decide on ring stats
Just not haste and youre fine
ya that seems fair
Afaik it means your effective current cp count as in if you cast a finisher right then it would be x effective points
Actually I notice you're only using shadow dance with Symbols. Do you have them macro'ed. This is probably why you have less stacks
The line does trigger 0.03 times per sim so it is sometimes casting it
can you clarify what effective_combo_points describes in the apl please?
Nope, pressing them individually, sorry for potentially obvious question but how does that mean I'd be wasting stacks?
coup counts too yes
you're not refreshing shadow dance inside of shadow blades causing you to lose uptime

I thought so too but zac proved me wrong, some time ago
eleem I have a question about rotation:
have coup ready with FW on target and no rupture on target.
flag > rupture > dance > backstab > SB > coup > sod > SS > sectech > shuriken > coup
Is this better or worse than just going normal sectech coup coup. I feel like supercharge the second is better
Worse
is current cp the actual points you have or is that the ones in your bar + sht stacks
You can just math it out that 16% on a coup is more damage than supercharging the second one
But also you lose out on cdr on sectech
By using it earlier
hmm
fair enough
I thought you could like catch the coup delay with SoD if you cast it fast
so you don't lose the full 16% value
but after testing I actually don't think you can
it doesn't get the benefit
which is weird bc SB does catch and amp
supercharging the second coup is effectively 1 more cp of damage but buffing the first one by 16% is roughly worth 2 cp of damage
yes
how could this dude not be worth
so anytime I have coup into a dance window, I'm just doing boring old sectech coup coup?
Is it straight up bad to craft 2x daggers if you simply have no rng getting anything in HC and will never touch myth raid?
id say its not bad but just check to see if a 720 craft elsewhere would suit u better
Yes
hes so big
he doesn't fly though, not worth
You want tech
forbidden reach takes a long time, i think most of it isnt weekly but its a bit of a grind
dude i want that so bad still
⚠️ Warning Signs ⚠️ is right there
when we not flying in midnight
i don't know what this means
It means ⚠️ Warning Signs ⚠️ is right ➡️ there ⬅️
thats why you insta press it so 75% of the coup still benefits from the 16% 🤓 thereby meaning you get 1 cp more of damage and lose out on 0.5 cps worth of damage
Its our VERY GOOD talent that gives us 6% (SIX) haste during SoD
!!!!1!
I wish you would insta press me..
Haha jk
...unless?
is it 6% flat or +6%

Someday, somewhere, Warning Signs is going to be a really good talent
Could be tomrorow though
You never know.
Someone could wake up and go EUREKA and cook a build with it that we all use.
Warnings signs will give 30% haste tomorrow
if i play ritual forge in m+ do i use it like a 3 Min Trinket on every other set of cds ?
it will be an additive 30% and still be useless
60%??
I wonder how much Haste is has to give for it to be good
Damn
I don't think there's a number, does Sub even gain anything from haste?
it makes us better outside of our dances kekw
More shadow techniques
Yeah, more attack speed for more autos for more shadow techniques
what do we even gain from lust
gimme a stack every auto
more shadow techniques?
not every 3rd or 4th
faster stabs
resources
lust actually changes our gcd?
no
it makes rupture tick faster DUH DOY
how are the stabs faster
auto attack speed
oh that yeah
yeah, autos
there is a blizzard survey going around for m+
it does not, energy classes have a 1s gcd at all times
talking about essentially solo queue but not solo queue
Lust is a 6% ish gain on a 40 second sim
Yeah I got it and told them that they should give group leaders the ability to put a hat saying "You fucked it" on players who "fucked it" during pug raids
You do scale off haste to some degree it just sucks
I’m worried about class tuning that solidifies an m+ meta. It’s pretty diverse right now
in between cds and after bleeds, should i do nothing to let shadow techniques stack up for next cds? i feel like that would be a lot of doing nothing
is sub being better than frost on wcl a meme?
outlaw is taking you out back
for what
question: is running double on-use trinkets (i.e. ritual forge and netherprism) considered standard for subtlety at this point? Or is it still up for debate?
porque?
if you don't have both netherprism AND forge, you shouldn't log into the game
it is not no
only for last 2 bosses of raid
Prism antenna is the same on most fights
outlaw has energy and has a GCD lower than 1s
prism + pacemaker is also super good
from what? just being outlaw?
AR
oh well it doesnt say that anywhere on the tooltip and I dont play the cowboy class
so I was not aware of that
@swift tinsel HAPTICS OF THE SUB CHANNEL I NEED UR WISDOM
would u even hold a dance for a global or 2 to line it with secret tech during burst?
or is that INT
or if they desync i should go play assa?
I guess next craft should be neck 
go get flood neck
Lily PTSD
im crafting a neck next week too i think
neck and max another tier to 723
i got my infinite rune yesterday who else got one
can we have 3 crafted pieces this week?
yeah

so am I seniding 1 symbol at a time trying to keep perma uptime or drop 2-3 at once?
cause i didnt read that they stack
danagfe
How bad are the trinket nerfs
If it’s your flag burst you dance back to back
have you read the wowhead guide? it's pretty good
and after blades?
when flag is still alive
i hold then yea?
You can fora global or two yeah
aight appreciate the help

Is there somewhere/someone i can send logs to, to give me feedback on what im doing wrong? I'm hitting green parses and no idea why.
bruh... -.-
how is this game this broken? wow...
thanks!
is there someone who know how to disable jastor diamond procs on raidbot ?
how long from 'im a complete noob' to 'im parsing 99s in every boss fight consistently' did it take you on rogue in general? (any xpac)
you can do !log and someone can take a look
!log
ty
sometimes you sit on sectech? if you get really good rng and it comes up MAD quick but not in time for flag cds?
yea you sit on it if flag is around 20 secs off cd
!aoe
- Always cast Coup de Grace when it is ready, regardless of target count.
- Black powder instead of regular Eviscerate at 4 or more targets (there is no other secret rule).
- At ALL target counts use Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance, not Shuriken Storm.
What changed so that we dont BP on 3+ Targets with FW anymore? Also Storm at 3+ when flawless form was up?
Now it is much simpler but just curious
Same for me
I'm crafting neck this week, changing wrists to ele focus, and swapping out my crafted dagger for my 2nd myth loomithar dagger
Can someone answer a couple questions for me
i crafted shoulders
- is it good to try and get ruptures out as mobs are getting grouped like first pull for Arakara or gambit. Or just wait and unload everything
got M neck last week from vault
+4 target during shadowndance, you mean cast black powdwer after shadowstrike?
yes, spread ruptures while the pack is being grouped. When you use your cds the ruptures you have out will get the damage increases (you can also start stacking flagellation while grouping before you send shadow blades)
To answer your actual question, no. That's not how it works. It comes preloaded with the sim APL, except with manual tweaks to make it work. You'd be replacing it with a broken version of itself.
so you're asking if it's good to do damage vs not doing damage waiting for mobs to be grouped?
surely you can critical thinking your way through this one
is a myth track belt with vers/mast better than the DISC belt?
yes
usually around 710, but sim
!cd
Cooldown Use:
Every 90 seconds you want to cast Flagellation and subsequently Shadow Blades. When these two are up you always want cast 2 Symbols of Death, 2 Shadow Dances and 2 Secret Techniques.
To ensure you have enough cooldown reduction on your Shadow Dance to attain that you need atleast 1 charge and roughly 30 seconds left on your second charge before casting Flagellation.

ty ty, i sim to make sure
Seems like a logic question. Doesn’t dmg output improve with ruptures, breaking stealth and using energy or does it make more sense to save both of those and go right into the cds. You don’t have to be a dick
While Tank is grouping, just rupture and once grouped up, go into CDs
im just saying you're asking if it's better to do nothing vs dotting? or maybe I misunderstand the question.
Your question was fine man I asked the same shit the other day especially when pugging
Never know what the tank is gonna do
- should I have two counts of shadow dance, ST, and symbols before i start major cds
Or can I start like as the 2nd is coming up?
should have shadow dance with 1 charge and roughly 35 seconds
Question for you fine folk - lets assume i'm literally too stupid to remember to backstab as my first builder in shadowdance...how much of a total dps loss are we talking over the course of a fight...am i giga fucking myself?
Perfect thanks
should have symbols with 1 charge and ~10sec left on cd
less than 1%
this
Oh thank god. This hypothetical situation my friend is asking about is very relieved.
on your other question, and relevant to your rupture question but not for the reason you think: if the tank body pulls and doesnt damage the enemies, and you start rupturing, you will get aggro even if you have tricks up
Can’t I just wait for both to be 1 stack with 10 seconds? Or is the .35 on SD worth the min max
!bs
Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
you can, those are "at a minimum" what you need
@compact cobalt this macro helps tbh
symbols doesnt get cdr from spending combo points
Ah ok
that requires me to always enter dance with no combo points though right?
Just don't sit on dances charges
You press the keybind again to backstab
No
ah okay im a dumbass - thank you
Typically how many times do people get the mini burst, SD, Symbols, and ST alone with out the other CDS
Not dumb, that's a fair question
2
hacha, where is that picture/graphic of the sub rotation, feel like that should be pinned
roughly twice between flags
all questions would be answered by that graphic
changes if you can farm cdr on large packs of mobs, but twice is usually safe if you have uptime
Yes, 2 is the "safe use"
When i try a top gear sim specifically for gems, the result tells me to replace the Blasphemite gem, I assume thats wrong and my settings are incorrect?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
One last question. I’m using Prism and Forge. Are people loading the prism and popping the forge or how exactly are we handling this. In theory I guess you could pop forge and then halfway in to major CDs you could hit Prism?
But it depends of uptime, compo, fight profile
Forge on first cd, prism on second,, repeat
this guy doesn't know the rotation but has bis trinkets, fucked up world (kidding)
using st outside of dance allowed as long as symbols is up? or banned
Minimal gain to use sectech no supercharged
A big chance to not have it for dance
So better keep
But if you're sure to get it back, send
Did the trinket hotfix stuff I saw make a difference for sub on these two trinkets

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
when you say prism on second, do you mean second shadow blades cd?
Yes you alternate
Ok thanks, doesn't matter how many stacks you have?
Nah because ull been enough
You just don't want to be sending cds with 0 prism stacks so that's why araz exists
Thanks alot 🙂
I imagine im fine like that with lily aswell?
Got myth from vault, had nothing else to take :/
Didnt wanna socket
Didnt sim it against hero araz, might want to
Lily is 90sec isn't it?
You wouldn't want to alternate with lily
I would imagine you would go for a passive trink with lily
I mean maybe you still do and I'm just wrong lol
It would be 3m
For keys is CB better or Tea? Or is it just personal preference
Because you would alternate so you are losing 50% lily usages
i mean, hero antenna
sims similar
XD
like 6k difference
might just go for that
to not think about it
or just be a lucky fukk
and get antenna this week
Preference
Tea is better for AOE no?
is it possible for cold blood macro to break if i swap specs?
i noticed halfway through the raid today
that it wasnt using my cb at all
ye happened when i swapped from assa to sub
something with fatebound
prob
yea

- 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.
same
btw
how many seconds before the first adds spawn on forgeweaver do u guys send flag and cds?

!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.
Is it normal to not get a Coup de Grace during the first Shadow Dance, or am I just unlucky?
what power do we use for the belt?
Lmfao is that like a 78mil peak
sustained for like 15s 
!wa
Ive been told by various sources that nutting all over those adds instead of having pot+18 stack for the boss amp is considered "padding"
Unfortunately
But for progress its good so you get further into the fight
ye we lusting it still for prog
im not entirely sure tho
sending a 0 stack seems int
Idk its roughly the same as the double on-users are getting anyway
Or not much lower atleast, since the platform is for 60s
When i compared my natty ones to the public logs
Im checking top logs and most are doing between like 800-950m in the intermission
Hey guys, i'm approaching the spec and i was wondering a thing... shuriken toss is like never pressed basically, right? Or do i press it during the dance to gain a stack of dance macabre?
Practically never
Only to pull stuff in the opener world
its certainly a bit weird without double on use. i was talking with our fdk over if we should double send 18 stack
thing is 9 stack with prism passive in the burn is not that much different from 18 stack with double on use
9 stack with passive is stronger than forge send
Isn’t that what the macro says?
But idk im not seeing much difference in logs between double on-users and not
oh i see i see, thanks! My brain is hurting trying to learn the spec XD
Sims says difference should be like ~5% for a 1 min 6 target
I'm starting salad bar prog today and I'm ready to platform pad... I mean I'm ready to make sure those adds die fast
But the variance in the spec on those short periods is soo high and people have varying levels of guildies doing varying levels of damage so its

(only prism + passive)
i have a mythic antenna heroic forge and lets just imagine a heroic prism
would u still do double on use
Id recommend platform padding until you hit enrage with a decent number of people alive or your side has to stop dps because youre killing it too fast
idk with 1x on use you have to either omega blast the adds or just do 0 dmg since no trinket in your blades
yeah true
Is there a way to sim Netherprism usage?
would lily make it into the conversation if I don't have a forge?
dont think so its kinda bad as 2x on use
do you need autumn on mythic dimensius?
!symbols
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
makes sense, I'll just use 18s on platform and 9 on burn until I get more reps and see how it goes. thanks 
thanks
eleem will know more weve only seen p3 twice, i just dont have confidence in killing the titan without my prism
in aoe how to apply weaken armor on everyone?
should i use Shuriken storm instead of back stab with the rotten?
idk i used to feel the same way and then today we finally had a clean pull and suddenly we were like 15% faster than the other side and had to stop dps
Its just gonna ramp as people get more comfortable and better
guildie just got this wonder how much this goes for lmao
dude i swear, every single time tanks try to rush going to 2nd boss of halls and don't kill off straggler mobs
and it pulls the 2 slashers into the boss without fail
like
take 5-10 seconds
kill stuff off
then go
Thats like easily 5m plus to a sweat
so on loomithar is it even worth it to rupture the tangles?
I don’t even look at anything besides the giant bug ass in front of me
Tell your raid you don’t have cds for them
yea
where does it put you
behind them
oh dope
only problem is if you get the tether
yeah wait till tether goes out
then step behind first one
and you can cleave onto 2nd
Just don’t move for a second and do it after tug

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.
!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.
so yeah macro together use off cd
But Araz give 34,421 ( 710ilvl ) for 30s and Prism give at 18 stack 58.770 agi
if we are currenly doing ST, and the second coup from the teir set procs, but we have no energy and like 1 combo point. do we still send coup out since the buff is ending, or do we just get 6cp and evisorate
Better to send than to lose it yes
But the macro prio the araz instead prism above
Well youre rotating them on every blades right
So araz will be on cd
But you can use it manually too if you'd prefer
i made macro for Blades + trinket 13/14
shouldnt
am i supposed to shruiken storm in between coup when not in shadow dance window
Sure, but thats the exact same as the one above 
!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.
in raid probably yes,but in keys sometimes im not pressing SB on cd bcs low mob count or tank dont chain etc. .. so if i'm a little late araz will be used.
how do i know if 4 set is active
Well
did you use a coup and can use another?
After you cast coup
ohhh yeah ok
Well yeah
!sheet
sorry i tried outlaw and my brain cant handle it so im coming back to sub
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
and trying to learn it again lol
But thats the same if you were to write it with /use 13 and /use 14 instead
The only way to have that not happen is to have them bound seperately
u only need 1 bound seperately right
like u can have 1 macrod into blades and press the other just before if u wanna use the other one
i did it.If im correct i'll always use prism with 12 stack ( its give more agi 39,180 ) instead araz ...
Or i just overcomplicate for no reason xd
what about plexus? is it worth begging my hpal for it?
THANKS KING
I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was holding my cooldowns too long trying to line everything up. I probably over spent a little here, but I did muchhh better damage, and parse like 80% higher https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wJNPDF9RK2qYBrkg?fight=18&type=damage-done&source=9
noice
heroic is typically
just send off cd
maybe wait a second or 2
but fights are so short its usually not worth
if you have MRT/ERT
in the timers section somewhere
there's an estimated time to kill
which is handy to know
so say if flag is coming off cooldown
in 10 seconds
but boss is expected to die in 50 seconds
and your pot is also coming off cd in 20 seconds
you can delay your flag by 10 seconds to line up back with your pot
that makes sense
its certainly a learned skill for this spec to manage so many cooldowns
it is but also try not to overcomplicate it
95% of the spec revolves around flag and sectech
aka you sync up to flag
so you watch that CD
When you're out of window, when do you stop using sectech so that it can be up for flag?
at 25ish seconds
so when youre not in flag and you're doing your dance + symbols and sectech
the most important cd to watch there is sectech
because if sectech is off cd, 90% of the time everything else will be as well
yeah its a fun word to say
how the fuck are people sending sectec at 1:27
on nexus king
these guys got shorter cooldowns or something?
oh
do you always pop tectech with symbols outside of burst window as well? Or is it okay somrtimes to use it without it if you're low on charges?
if youre still starting off - you are better off only sending sectechs with dances and symbol
in a 6 minute fight you maybe send ONE naked sectech/symbols without dance
and if you send it at the wrong time
its not worth it
Ye cuz at one point you will have an additional charge of symbols
and no dance charges
makes sense. My problem before was I was using too many dances between bursts, and I think I over corrected, so I'm just now finding the balance
yup
Ye
rule of thumb it's like
2 dances between flags
but always just watch your flag timer
at 1min its kinda fine to send
at 30 seconds, if you overcap by 5seconds on dance
who cares
yeah
the more comfortable youll get with the spec
Yup
so you get used to when you can send and when you cant
like take frac for example
this is all the casts of symbols and sdance
there's a symbols/dance at 50 seconds
for pretty much all of them
few ones at 40 seconds (one is me because i play by vibes and not guides)
and then there's the optional naked symbols at 1min/1:10ish
but you see how things kinda just align for everyone
unless you get omega scuffed with uptime
!log
But the rule of thumb of "send off cooldown if it doesn't fuck flag" is a pretty good one

this is the trickiest spec I've played so far with a controller, but i've enjoyed it the most
this is a meme
but its also very accurate
also what teh fuck you play with a controller?
thats so cooked
gl
yeah, I enjoy playing on my couch lol
kinda based
these are my keybinds
I stopped playing mouse and keyboard about a year ago, and I don't think I could play this spec with m+kb tbh
I learned it on controller, I'd have to relearn it if I switched
yes and no
wait is X jump?
yes
stealth bar ^
so instead of using the !bs macro, I can just press right on dpad twice and get dance + backstab when it switches to stealth bar
surely you rebind X to shadowstrike/backstab
thats such free real estate
how often do you need to jump 
I can't lose jump lol
I have to take my thumb off the movement button to press dpad, so I need a way to preserve movement
whats base circle bound to
so sick dude
allocating a precious bind to shuriken toss is crazy
evis
one day when wow goes to consoles u gotta make a right up for people who want to play with controller and tips and tricks
L2 is my shift modifier, I use it for buffs and aoe lol
I've actually considered writing a guide on how I set console wow up
I have auto camera angles and everything
you should!!
it zooms in and out or recenters depending on what I 'm doing or where I'm at
heres a little example of how my dynamiccam is setup
so opener is
R2 -> R1 -> square -> L2 Left -> left -> triangle + right -> R2 -> square
almost, you got the first part down.
Its R2 > R1 > Square > Leftpad > Uppad > Leftpad > Rightpad > Triangle
I don't use modifiers for my core rotation usually, unless I have to
oh right because non stealth your dance is just left without any modifiers
if you notice, L2 + X/O/Square/Triangle are all defensives, so if I really get in to trouble on most characters, I just hold L2 and button mash those face buttons
exactly
A lot of thought goes into it, but it lets me play on the tv so its worth it for me
can someone take a look at my logs and provide feedback on why im so shit? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DvrkZcx1GP9CTAjV?fight=6&type=damage-done&source=66 greatly appreciated.

does feint work on loomithar beams?
look at your 1:30 flag and see if you can spot what you missed
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aaBz5vC3VauxnXqY5q0zxOpFXwhPXaHvYe3VpWLAta0/edit?gid=0#gid=0
dont think so
wait nvm that only says atrohpic
but i still dont think so
its not aoe
THEN AGAIN FEINT WORKS ON FRAC DOT SO WHAT THE FUCK DO I KNOW
still having no prism feels like such ass
F
just like last tier with pvp trinket until dinars came out
no dance?
bingo bingo
youve kinda fucked up your flag window every time except the opener i think
well your 3min might be okay
but your 4:40 is definitely scuffed
thats the only reason?
does anyone else experience a shift in ST at somepoint?
like, having dance and having to wait for a symbols?
only if you send naked symbols
it's kinda weird
fuck this game lmao
amen lmao
it feels if you send a naked symbols then you have a random dance at like 3:30ish where you are waiting on symbols cd
but if you dont send a naked symbols then have too much symbols
do we send prism on every blade? even the first?
but is it wrong to send a naked symbols?
pretty much, yeah. I have always preferred console gaming to pc gaming, plus my chair isn't the most comfortable
I still love wow though, so I just took it with me to the living room
not if it doesnt mess up your flag window
are u available for a quick log check? im joining a fresh just to test out the rotation
should be just the first boss
ye thats fine
guys, antena netherprism or araz netherprism? what is better overall?
are these gonna be new dps ones
s i m although if equalish i'd personally go antenna
because my brain doesnt like double use
what is the dps loss if i just never use bp regardless of player count, anyway ran apl where you just delete bp?
!coldblood
- 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.

oh we do
is anyone having issues with being bugged on nexus king?
i'm missing all my attacks, i cant do the ghosts cause nothing is registering
ya this is happening
ive logged out, left raid, idk what else to do
LOL im just logged out out of the raid in dorn
raid is giga bugged
we had people release and get stuck behind trash near Saladbar and have no way to get back to where the rest of the raid was
what happens if we shadowstep the wall break from fractillus?
you land in front of him
like before our character hits the wall. does it still count as a break?
or does it fuck the mechanic up
lmao
kk gonna start stepping that wall break
we just started fract today so im not sure
make sure you step when the cast bar is finished/you start moving
Is it correct or incorrect to send two Sec Techs in a singular dance window with Last Dance? Seems like some people do and some people dont on lorrgs
sometimes you can, sometime you can't
should we hold CDs for damage amp on saladbar?
send off cd
if you always send off cd
flag comes up like 5 seconds into amp
on mythic it just lines up

which therefore means double on use is pad 🧠
my guild has seen 1 normal forge and 2 in a tank/healers vault
and im wondering if i take mythic lily
You can also ask hpal to do autum at 00:45 (like nothing happens at that point).
You will have faster second set of CDs->earlier Plattform->full amp time
It makes it also easier to play 3 spirits because your flag window is over at that point
yeah im begging my hpal for autumn
yall arent running hpriest over hpal?
got permission from exile to beg
crazy
they're in poland
Tonight we did both
also yeah i think we have both
no forge, no autumn no bitches why even raid
true
is it needed for dimmy as well?
i dont think you hard need autumn though
I shouldn't share my last two vaults
its not that bad
someone linked this on the most recent reset
you always get a full cast on the platform and if your raid holds dps on the titans you only miss first 5s
Ehm not sure yet... Getting it at 00:45 makes it easier to start second burst.
Okay wait @short radish
meanwhile im a SAD gamer
I can beat that
fuck you
🫃
i hope you step in a puddle wearing nothing but socks
ya im beat

expect a pipe bomb in the mail
i hope it was worth it
its fine
this will be my vault next week
and i will have to pick between mythic prism and mythic forge
And boots!
Nah prism, antenna, forge

Triforce
tbh i think i'd pick the forge
Yes makes things was easier
antenna sounds exhausting
i just want to blast
and not think
far out do i acutally run a lily + prism
Nah got it on my evoker... It's just don't care (maybe before 2 engulfs I collect balls)
Is there anyone can help me to learn sub and i can give him gold in wow
Thank you
people will help you for free too, but your choice
to a certain extent
running around doing beams, soak, spirits, and soaking my antenna orbs during 2nd flag on nexus 
And facing spirits!
yeah thats not a life i want to live
But antenna is strong tbf
Coaching on sub: "go do the opener on dummies for 3 hours and stop sending shit all the time in between" bam that's all you need to know
play on vibes not on guides
dw i was a murloc in today's kill and used feint... Used it again and was wondering why nothing happened. I was so brain freezed and sitting on top of the tank soak -> dead.
Fuckin murloc toy 
Yeah the one from the shop
do not touch the murloc

can someone look at this because I am doing such low dps compared to where I think I should be https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pQMkB8PgbdKLXZnF?fight=last&type=damage-done

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Say you have a group of 6 targets stacked and you are using trickster sub rogue. What should your combo point generator be? Is it you just sometimes weave in shuriken storm to keep up aoe weaken and using backstab and ambush otherwise or should I be using shuriken storm more than that?
I feel like because of the 2 and 4 set it should be mostly back stab and ambush
shadowstrike in dance
!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 <
my feelycraft says at 6 targets you shuriken storm
but also press backstab if you havent backstabbed in a while
but also also its kinda whatever because youre not in dance
hmm this tiers set has kind of complicated Sub aoe rotation. Not a problem I just wish I had a bit more of a definitive game plan.
Its not really
and I should be using black powder aoe wise correct?
4 targets BP is your main finisher yeah
I said it has made things more complicated not that they are actually complicated if that makes sense.
4 target bp. in dances build with shadowstrike. outside dances at 3+ targets use shuriken storm
thank you very much.
not much more complicated than that
Well thank you all of you I'll make sure to implement this I hope to see an improvement numbers wise.
Much better week for me 😻
!wa
@brave elbow get the target in range tracker
if number >= 4 press BP instead of evis
You need more definitive than this?
Reading a guiding instead of feeling it out does wonders

On saladbar platforms if u get targetted by massacre during cds do u just cry
or will cloaking it be fine
Anyone know if the Night Elf potion is a damage increase?
crying helps
ooh thank you
no that'll do thank you
Shockingly it’s straight from a guide. 
cloak works
mmk just didnt want to grief it
Is there a bug when searching logs that shadow dance doesn’t show, does on m+ keys but noticing raid doesn’t??
kinda glad this raid has sort of forced my hand on learning sub, this spec is actually more fun than I gave it credit for as an outsider
my practice is starting to pay off a little, cleaned out a 10 floodgate
What’re you looking for? You linked a log looking at damage done, of course shadow dance doesn’t pop up there. Change it to buffs or casts.
my heroic dimensius damage on reclear this week was pretty bad though, need to see when people are popping off - probably look at lorrgs later
As in you get three or more stacks from one cast?
It could with the previous iteration but to my knowledge the current 2pc does not
Anyone that could help me out with some logs and tell me the biggest things i need to work on? This is the first season i play rogue since being a mech bot on guldan in nighthold and it's been a lot rougher performance wise than other seasons (i usually pick what my guild needs and have swapped classes/spec almost every tier). Green parsing so there's definitely a lot wrong with my cd management/rotation during cd's, though I feel like i theoretically "know" what to press by looking at the guides etc.
what's the best exact timing to send cds on araz so CB sectec hits the adds
Flag when portal first appears
does anyone else take numbing over atrophic for keys
is there numbers on the cold blooded optimization for this tier
!embellishment
Post your logs in a thread or view the threads of other people getting log help. Basically free coaching.
we're doing a strat where we take some add sets behind the portals
which makes it mega awkward if i have to drop adds
