Im on mobile so it may look differently for you but if you click up at the top next to #subtlety with an arrow. It expands a menu that has threads
Id also use search function for certain phrases
1 good tip is learning from the people who review your logs
and looking at your own logs
atleast for me it helped a ton cuz you know how you played
and then you start picking up on the things you mess up on the fly
i think that sounds logical
hopefully
yeah i remember playing dk and just a single post of logs made me go from mostly purple to mostly orange logs by paying attention to the min maxy stuff they said i was doing wrong
but with rogue i definitely need way more help lmao
DK is pretty easy to log review especially frost
yeah it was frost in s1
@warm marlin
i think people focus on parsing and that limits alot of people from actually improving
Didn't make it out of p1 tonight unlucky
p1 probably the hardest part
you can kinda say same same about sub as well
!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.
sub seems complicated at the start too imo
Felt like an enter the gungeon late stage
(ive played the game for 2 seasons now) and ive seen people complicate things that arent complicated
but its subjective at the end
this is my opener rn but i feel like thats correct no?
roughly 1% dps
i feel like i got the opening sequence i just get lost later on during mechanics
yeah i swapped to sub last week
muscle memory def aint there yet
and ive only had like 2 weeks on assa
i started the game as assa then s2 played frost dk for some reason and tried other classes but nothing hits like rogue
yeah i like assa too but the desyncing on FB when it happens is extremely frustrating
so id rather focus on sub for now
i played dk in s1 and enh in s2

i think imma focus on 1 class
i keep telling myself that every tier :[
im too washed to keep swapping specs every tier
hopefully i can stick with rogue cuz at least it has 3 dps specs
this was my first MMO ive played and idk some dopamine receptor goes crazy when your good at 1 class and multiple specs on it
i dont think ive played the same spec 2x in a row since like legion
i dont think i have the brainpower to get good at multiple classes
even though melee classes are fairly straightforward
i can usually pick them up fairly fast to an acceptable level for an avg CE guild but rogue is definitely the worst performance ive had ever so far lol
i need to spam 10s again bruh
Welcome to the dark side
Sub is very rewarding to play
My man
they ruined it with the vanish gameplay
and i think stealth as a mechanic is very outdated
assassination is probably the easier to perform well on, so if you started out as subtlety, might be expected
yeah sub is super overwhelming if you dont know anything about the spec and start from scratch
sub has periods you’re pretty much afk
then you drop a nuke
then wait to do it again
i saw the old talent trees from like shadowlands and i thought they just moved the baseline abilities or passives into the tree and i think they fucked up there
idk how buggy rogue has been pre war within
but its insane
how do i make a thread within this channel for logs btw? cant seem to find a create thread button
deathly shadows
Yes yes that's right
how long ago was shadowlands
can we please petition to get 1m30sec CDs reset
2 years
snd being passive is the best change ive felt during my time
especially on assa
useless ass button
but tea change was crazy weird
Tea would be perfect for a choice node
tbh i dont even notice tea on subtlety
Manual use or autotrigger
it just pops off sometimes
!logs

Haven't tried running CB over tea this season..how do you like it?
You get bigger st nukes

Hi! Any1 got nice WA to track shadow technique stored combo points?
whats the thinking behind swapping 2 stacks of finality out for inevitibility and the rotten?
vibes > guides
inev is stronger on single target, which isn't a bad pick in mythic+
you don't bring subtlety to your dungeon for its insane aoe
Nvm got it
thanks!
I do understand the single point swap for a slight ST gain at a slight aoe loss but also taking rotten seems to be a loss in both aoe and st to the 1 point finality
sims
Rotten sims better for me on both ST and AOE
But I got 18% crit
the top gear is 1 finality + inevitability and the M+ is just 2 in finality. Rotten is only 0.2% ahead in ST on the 2 points in finality but 1.1% behind 1 point finality while also behind on an aoe sim and also behind on a floodgate expert mode sim so i just don't see it winning from the 1 point anywhere.
I am pretty crit/mastery heavy at 29% crit and 100% mastery with 12% haste and 9% vers
Ye that def takes some power away from rotten

you cast tricks once at the start of the dungeon then you forget about it 
What’s that?
nah i press it before every pull out of habit
adrenaline rush reduces gcd based off haste
!wa
Ahhh
any info on Prism changes?
Maybe that’s why they put Coup gcd on 1.2
wait are they changing prism
Unyielding Netherprism no longer fails to split damage and scale as intended.
It sounds good
Although it's the agi we want so the damage is kinda w/e. It does more than Sigil for me atm which is probably not intended
ye, i kinda tho w/e the changes r, its not the part we care
Sigil sucks
It does
It's so bad
I've been trying to get a replacement trinket but nothing is dropping lmao
Yep
It’s just a agi stat stick
Every single time the Prism does more damage than it does.
Without a second part
Or atleast a little bit dmg on ST
unless the intended scale is worse, its good
no just dealt the dmg and split without the extra scaling from what i read
where do you see this?
Player deaths in Mythic +2 and +3 keystones no longer reduces the timer or displays a death count in the objective window.
That's cool
big ty
I heared a streamer saying that "as long as you have no haste on your gear, you good" - is this still true when a ring with crit/haste is simming +30k higher than a vers/mastery for me? (691 ilvl vers/mas vs 701 haste/crit)
lmao
It's simming higher 'cos of the crit, I assume.
did you remember to enchant and add sockets as well?
Yeah fully enchanted and socekted.
is it very crit heavy?
I doubt it's simming better due to the Haste, but we do want a lot more Crit right now.
ye there's no achievable dr that makes you want haste over the other stats
I have 6700 crit & 989 haste with my 691 ring and with the 701 I have: 12400 crit & 7500 haste.
Ye, it's because of the crit.
So I was lacking a bit of crit and can trust the sim?
a sec.
massive nerf, unplayable now
how am I gonna pad on myself now
I wonder if there's people that've killed themselves to soaking last boss arakara thingy and then critting with forge
I wiped our entire raid because i died to my trinket instead of soaking 
ah ye it's super crit heavy
Yeah, it's just after the crit
this made it sound like it somehow had 5700 crit and 6k+ haste
ah my bad.
maybe I misunderstood
I read it as being their before / after crit
But ye - my sim has been demanding SO MUCH CRIT too. I swapped gems / enchants.
ye I just didn't understand the huge increase in haste as well hahah
It makes sense since coup critting is big
It's just the crit is so valuable that the haste is w/e.
maybe alchemical chaos swapped to haste at the same time
I think my flask triggered the haste. With the haste/crit ring i have: 4000 haste & 12600 crit ^^
Has anyone noticed how "So Tricky" (1 hour Tricks of the Trade trickster rogue talent) applies threat to a Tank who dies and releases in M+? Is it too much of a liability to use, and maybe "Don't Be Suspicious" (blind/shroud reduced CD, longer sap range) shared choice node is safer to take?
ye now it makes sense xd
yes it's an issue, but tank realistically shouldn't be dying
I personally have benefitted from that bug more than ended a run because of it
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
I just listen to the robot
completely fine - just go with whatever the sim tells you is best
It's not ideal, but crit good
gotcha!
just be skeptical to human errors
thanks both of you!
Ya earlier it helped keep a low health packs alive and aggrod on the tank and helped, but sometimes it causes mobs to beeline halfway across the dungeon and pull on a scale not scene since Gnomeregan in classic
not seen*
like if a 90% haste, 10% crit ring sims higher it's prob because you forgot to enchant and socket your current ring
is there any embellishment commands that shows bis embellishments for M+ / raid?
(doubt it'd be worth even then, but still)
Focusing Lens or Dawnthread. They're very whatever.
Or Duskthread, whichever is the versatility one
!wa
also sims better on 3 mins for me for some reason
Bet it's the crit again
Also was Unyielding Netherpism stealth nerfed today? Previously I was starting M+ with 18 stacks for a huge buff, but now it seems like it resets to 0 when the key starts
You can't start it with 18 stacks
it's always reset
I was starting with 18 stacks all last week
as soon as bubble goes down it removes stacks
Pulling a raid boss or starting a key resets the stacks.
It's always worked like this.
Thats how trinkets are supposed to work, but last week it wasn't--- I was paying close attention to the buff
anyways ty, later
jastor is bugged
my sim is demanding alot of crit over mastery is that supposed to be like that?
sometimes it do be like that
Ye, it is. Crit value is up this season.
4,5k crit- 22k mastery and 17,5k vers
I assume because of double coup and critting all of the coup strikes is huge. So crit value is big.
is my crit too low?
If the sim says it is, yes.
Just listen to the sim. It's doing the complex math for you
Listen to the robot
!fuu

what does this mean
How do I sim the last 2 bosses so I can convince my RL to give me the forgeweaver trinket
good or bad bug

Check pins
Id really love a plexus ring and my robots crit demands are gonzo 🙂
whispyr wrote about it in assa channel
Oh wait, pins in #assassination
Beaten by Fimb
Damn
it's worth it to scroll down 2 posts from that and look at the cat image too

brother what
and ofc alpha ring didn't drop yesterday
so I'm stuck with this stinky poo ring
Time to delve
Time to do m+
oh that's true
I think so?
off the top of your head
olden 👴
I'm not 100% sure. I think I got one but vendored it before realising I needed more crit
Yes, it spawns the nemesis so you can get a map immediately

did you guys know you can shadowstep while being thrown by fractillus?
I found out yesterday
would've saved me from a lot of pain last week
hey guys quick question, if im at 4 targets with find weakness but i wna funnel. do i still bp or switch to eviscerate?
then you switch to evis
ty
dumb question: if we get lucky during opener with cdr and can send second sectech during first dance, we still wanna send it w/ supercharger yeah? Is it just a risk of the clone delay hitting after dance?
yes that's best case scenario
just spam dance if it's at the end of dance
i get there often enough and have been trying to symbols earlier then evisc so the cdr can make a more optimal window for the sec tech and clones delay to fit in first dance but
something tells me that's too risky/overthinking it
it's completely fine sending symbols 1 finisher before sectec
as long as sectec gets supercharged you're good
thank you o7
In SB, it's very fine, I had discussion few days ago where I've been told by a better player to always supercharge sectech first in classic dances
Unless Coup proc, always dance/sod/sectech for the escalating blades
Can you fck up wall breaking with this?
dont think so
i was doing it all through prog
as long as you do it AFTER the knockback
nope goes through still
How do u break wall if u never reach it
ask blizzard
you break it with your aura
fax
something something airpressure
look dont question how things work on fractilus
like why feint doesnt work on the aoe circles
but it does on the dot
sometimes it just do what it do
This season is a fckin ptr
ackshully 🤓👆🏼 prob because as soon as the knockback goes through it's already decided when the wall will break and the visual representation is just synced to that timer
It didnt feel that buggy last season, at least to me
1st boss rookery
That goddamn bird
So sometimes I accidentally doubletap Symbols of Death and waste a charge, could I solve this with a cast sequence macro combined with a spell that will be impossible to cast against a target in combat like Sap? Like "/castsequence reset 1 Symbols of Death, Sap" ?
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
Ok thats better than my idea, ty
Improved Shadow Techniques/Planned Execution is simming higher in Dungeon Slice than any other talent combo I can make that uses Replicating Shadows---- is the sim wrong? I feel like replicating shadow while the tank is gathering has to be better.
worst case if you desperate and got some in your pockets buy a champ finger from ah💰
Its actually simming higher than any talent build ive simmed in Patchwerk and Dungeon slice, and thats why im suspicious
ya I've thought about buying the entropy thingy
myth track ring is dropping next week right?
myth track should drop now on ah but prob costs close to gold cap
ahhhh true it's already been weekly reset
I dont have those funds at least!
must've been devalued
you can get mastery vers hc for 500 k
what's the site you're using for this
dont know what the rules are exact with links and stuff but just search "wowpay2win" in google and its a boe site basically to get an overview
ah sick
nothing sussy but yeah not taking any chances
Are we rocking with finality this szn

Hey guys quick question about gear, after how many mythic loomithar and nexus king kills without a single dagger drop does it become optimal to simply uninstall the game? thx
CUQAA0tw2gAD7pPTLoW5IGZDeAAM2mBAAAAAgZhxy0YmlxYmZMMMzMGGz2sMjZ22mZGzMzYwYZ2GAAAAmBDgxsZYgBmFtQL2gB build is simming higher than any builds I can find/make for Patchwerk and Dungeon Slice both---- any real people with advice on why the sim might be wrong? I personally have a hard time believing that a build without rupture dulicate is best for M+
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ask mr robot
rami malek ghosted me last time i asked him about wow
then I'm afraid you're at a dead end
what's the little creature in your pfp btw I recognize it from somewhere
or maybe I'm mixing it up
ok so I mixed it up
Feel like I'm spamming with questions almsot sorry, but just refining it to a simpler question--- do you think the Dungeon Slice sim might undervalue Replicating Shadows (rupture duplicate)? Or is it just not a good talent for M+ for Trickster Rogue?
Afaik dslice is for gear not talents
Would I ever pick Hero Ritual Forge from vault when I already have Hero Prism? Currently i am Assa but i think about switching to Sub
!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.
On Coup De Grace, a youtube guide said that the tooltip is bugged and it's the first cast not the second that gets the 150% buff, is this accurate or no?
Oh, so it's only during blades/aoe and only for the second. I thought you'd want to always do it and even before the first one. That makes life so much easier.
the combo is rly strong on last 2 of the raid
outside of them tho

in m+ is it worth holding prism for every other shadow blades if my other trinket is a passive for example antenna?
yes i mean with blades
What class objectivly is the most broken in high end raiding
Forge only sims slightly worse than antenna for me
When u 95th+ parser
And based on my results, antenna is crazy rng
the orbs can be really funny sometimes
Idk, check wcl
Just know that fotm rerolling might end up with your new class getting nerfed before you even have the gear to parse
I feel like they don't get picked up sometimes even when standing right on top of them
Maybe that's just a display issue tho
sometimes it takes a second
but it could be display yea i would need to vod review to know
very pull dependent
if you can get max stacks to a gigant pull, probably worth
most of the time its probably better to just use with blades
Sometimes you send flag on a small pack to not hold eternally
There I usually save my prism
yes
you usually don't want to delay cooldowns for long
thats general cooldown management
but e.g. you can skip to use prism one time during flag
to have it for your next flag use
espeically if it lines up well with a gigantic pull
there is just a certain dynamic and flexibility
!gear
For strictly prio damage on titans for nexus king platforms, could using one black powder as the first finisher in dance be a gain?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
on first pull gambit should i use evis or black powder as spender?
BP
Got the worst vault ever, however idk if Soleah trinket is worth anything for sub/assa on myth track?
It's an ok passive trink
its okay
Alright, cuz its either that or a crit/haste ring or socket
i guess ara trinket is bad for m+ so i wont go with it if thats the case
ahh oke, so even the coup proc, i still using the bp?
no you use coup proc
alawys use coup proc
!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.
yes but what about backstabbing out of dance
You only need to use storm inbetween coup casts right? E.g. if I go into dance with coup up, I don't need to use storm as a builder unless its between coup?
what is better thistle tea or cold blood talent right now?
on single target
can also backstab if flawless form drops
but outside of that, why would you?
what about in aoe
backstab in dance becomes fairly irrelevant with more targets
so you don't need to
ez
didn't know 1000 cuts had haste scaling
is this the secret haste build?
new PI target?
XD
true
just use the build i linked the other day
skipping almost all good nodes
have you seen my open world death stalker build yet?
That was cursed
I meant the fuu one
oh
Bout to join a weekly no leaver key with that build
reported for terrorism
good luck
flagellation is like 20% dps
no blades and no secret

also only one charge of dance
that's even worse than my build
yeah!
and pvp is enabled
so its like 50% uptime of either blades
or lingering shadows
w/e the buff is called
gloomblade will carry
what about the silent storm thingy
this one takes down one mob at a time
I wish gloomblade was better is so cool
deez nuts
the thing about trickster open world
is that it fkn sucks when you don't get cape + ub procs
perma backstab soup
see
think the above goes well with the "utility overload" general tree build
thats why this build exists
all the stuff in trickster is pointless for open world content

it never left, it just got watered down in deathstalker
trickster has some good open world traits
we hated DS for too long
yea like the shroud cdr reduction
and failed to see what it could provide
reduced cooldowns
this is what builds would look like in wow if we didn't have sims and the monster hunter community would migrate
full comfort build
idk
i think most people would go dps still
nimble flurry is like the best casual content talent
I love nimble
shadowstrike into ub+cape+bubbling wax proc feels like playing mantle rogue
i feel like i do more dmg doing eviscerate than bp
yo! BiS trinkets for M+? a bit lost watching info on guides
you sure you keep using evis for coup in aoe?
like in what situation? seems to always work for me
it's funny in keys when everyone dies except you and then suddenly the whole pack starts running towards where the tank respawned lol
!wa
guys do you know if there is a pack where a flawless form tracker is implemented plz?
Specific WAs i find on wago arent working for some reason
so mastery sims as one of my worst stats now guessing because I have so much
if ur in dr then other stats might be better yes
Stat weights stinky go top gear
trust the sims
Idk the breakpoint but I have a 723 Lilly so. Wonder if its worth changing my enchants and reshii wraps
Mounting resets it
It does not
Many people are saying this
I gotta start logging my m+ runs
Unyielding Netherprism champion version or mythic t pants? currently on only 1 tier piece at 689 ilvl, sims suggest trinket, what you guys think
!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.
depends trink is kinda good but if you dont ever do mythic
you can eventually get prism from pugging n or hc
which is the biggest diffrence
but not pants
U know m+ logs give you a ranking, what does that mean?
you can hold coup if a pack is about to die and you're gonna go into a new pack with flag
but other than that don't hold yeah
Question about trinkets, is Forge + Prism best combo and if yes how do you use it? Rotate each one with blades (with 2nd usage being half stacked prism or?)
Any tips for araz? Doing the fight first time on the reclear
not with my massive WA that screams coup is ready in your face 😉
makes sense
2nd blades is stacked prism
lining with dmg amp
I know coup is ready bc if my wa says "soon" and i dont proc it after 3 ss i die inside
I am sure when tanks mounts u need to apply tricks again
No?
I stg i always die to aggro after tank mounts ?
Well you can just pop evasion
it's a classic sub rogue thing, you strike into a pack right as the tank is pulling
tricks is so you dont have to hold shit until tsnk has gathered all
Happened to me in 1st pull hoa, tank forgot to aggro the shard 😄
he got the casters and just stood there
is there a more annoying thing than a 7th ShT proc while Coup is doing its hits
Should be dotting adds on the run for first pull I think
However pressing tricky between each pull is muscle memory now
yeah you have to be SUPER careful to only strike something the tank has established threat with
Yep
happened to me today in a DB, i thought the tank had aggro already but apparently not
got 1 shot
was crying
but on some pulls its just mechanized
Like i know 1st pull floodgate i have to wait a bit
But hoa? Tanks just aggro the 1st 5 mobs and go str8 to shard
1st pull flood you can just open up on the small mobs that get dragged into the big guy
Why am i waiting
I just sap spider, tricks, and rupture
no
flag once the pull is gathered
not during gather
You desync by a lot doing thst
10s max
yeah you either desync or you send your first sectec into like 2-3 mobs
that sounds like a lot
just storm and rupture until shreddinator is gathered
Gives me the 10 seconds for next cds to build shadowcraft
10s is a lot
trust it's better to just spread ruptures during gather
100%
Ig
i did that a couple dungeons, flag into ruptures into cds
when u have flag up and have to hold it for 5-10 seconds...yikes
Yep
if you desync and need to hold for 10 secs because the next fight is a boss w/o any adds
10s is enough to completely derail your cd timings on a boss fight
Its awful yeah
4 seconds max
floodgate is a very fun sub dungeon
yeah sub is fun on big momma
my peak on momma was 55
Mine was 53
but honestly it can't quite compare to sin on big momma ngl
But got depleted
sin's dmg profile is perfect for big momma
halkias feels great as well
frost dk using cds on amp rsther than adds
Send 2nd boss in sub into swap into assa combo
anyone know if dungeonslice has mobs with different hp counts?
Wdym, u swap to assa after momma?
like a prio target in a pack of small adds and stuff like that
idk i always go momma second wym
Ye everyone does that
People are doing it in streets and it was done in rookery last season
sin is prob stronger on big momma than sub
DS is an insanely good hero tree for big momma
!embellishment
even better with bugfixes
is it worth the downtime of running out -> swapping talents -> running back though?
I guess you could use the dungeon tp to go out
on high enough keys yes depending on the dungeon
but idk if you can do that mid dungeon
i timed 19 rooks last season doing that
never had the need to do that xd
Vanish and portal mid kelp pull
i would do first half as sin, then hearth out and swap to sub for last boss
u get time bc of the roleplay
it's definitely worth doing sometimes
there is no downtime if u just play sub all dungeon
fg has a very good 90 second timer
what's bis comp for sub btw
Phys no?
prot-rsham-havoc-fdk?
the tech for playing sin then hearthing to play sub was so strong in rookery i was beating the other 2 dps even though i was afk an entire pull while swapping
Iirc monk buff is bigger than shaman in dslice
or feral instead of havoc maybe
surely it's bugged then
Brew war feral sham lowkey cooking
Sham buff is 3.2%
Monk should be like 3.5 or around that?
But obv chances of shaman in party>>>>chances of monk in psrty
wsrrior is bigger buff
i thought monk buff would be more like 2.5
ye same
Huy rly?
!fuu
i dunno how much phys dmg we do
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
just get brew duo and problem fixed
i assumed 50/50
its 5050 phys and shadow no?
maybe nimble just accounts for that much more phys dmg
between phys and shadow
I think i do more phys
Didn't fuu's sheet have the value of raidbuffs before?
nimble should be full shadow dmg during shadow blades
all dmg should be shadow during cds
true actually
i wish they leaned more in the shadow psrt of sub
first step towards removing find weakness
Finish the sub rework
ok i'm looking at a log of a DB i did today
12.0 for sure
surely
but cba to count up the phys vs shadow dmg %s
I guess its 60/40
It could be more actually nimble flurry is like insane dmg rn
I think it was like 34% phys on fractillus
someone said yesterday
Kush said like 70-80% phys in m+
Kush the goat
i was right then
67.88% phys dmg from the DB i did
and DB is a nimble heavy dungeon
not many BP casts
speaking of m+ how do you guys feel about priory as sub? a friend was telling me maybe I should go assa on that dungeon
footman pulls break my mental
Yep
my mental is better 😉
but besides that I think sub is good on priory
but numbers are numbers
I fucked up one cd with poor prism usage, but yea, I felt I could pad up so much damage as assa there
Sky fury auto attack is like crack you can't live without
sub is good in every dungeon atm
there's not really any instances where i'm wishing i was sin
Im scared its like last season
yea, likewise, was trying to figure out what I can do better on priory though
and I can't be bothered
sub strong 1st month
whereas when i'm playing sin there's so many times i'm wishing i could end it all because of DS and IC
into its dogshit go play assa
might happen honestly
surely we'll be getting ST buffs cope
i hope for evis buffs
prolly evisc buffs, slight tuning on flurry to compensate
They can’t
well that's my dream anyway
it seems like sub is holding strong better than last season though
They can’t buff evis like that without downing nimble like crazy
last season sub started to fall very quickly
We already bp at 4 targets
Pacemaker doesn't exist
ideally yeah
I've decided this
couldn't they just remove like 5% off nimble and give 15% evis
There was a mythic one in my vault
Well if the sin bugs get fixed it's likely
I also had a mythic pacemaker in vault which i didn’t take
Can still play both mind you
How much more intuitive do you need? Wtf
i agree they should tune nimble and BP together so it's always nimble at 7-8 targets
can i have it
actually no I don't want it i want antenna
Big hitters, BP then evis. Not hard at all.
aren't you still running pugs?
tye bp at 4 targets when nimble is 7 is not intuitive
I honestly wouldn't mind if nimble got capped at 5 targets if we got compensated with ST/low target cleave
why does it say cb+sectech in shadowblades rather thab 2nd sectec?
You can still lean into nimble with more than 4 targets
BP on 6 and above would feel good
Pog
wait, I know Sectech was is capped at 5, but what other things are capped at 8?
probably for simplicity
nimble and bp
Soft-capped*
yea, that'd be a cool solution tbh
Ye, I've run one every week this season
Antenna hasn't dropped for two weeks lmao
You all out here trying to make it sound like aoe is some rocket science and want to go back to
rip
hey, do you guys have something as log review?
And the time it did drop someone won it and then never equipped it. It's how it goes
try !log
!log
I'm doing 2/8M now though so I'm just waiting for vault
surely you'll get it in vault 
I mean it's not intuitive for new players to use BP instead of Evis on less than 8 targets because of Nimble
Sub aoe is simple, i just want evis to be stronger than bp in low target cleave
I left it. Took normal tier to get 4pc. 
It's not too bad since ur shadowstriking all thr time in cds
So it's not like ur not using nimble
BP just hits like a truck
Hello, just curious whether anyone knows what changed so we BP at 4+ (before it was 3 with FW) and Storm at 2+ Targets (before was with Flawless Form and 3+ Targets iirc)?
Only because people try to define the words cleave and aoe and whatever else. If you only look at numeric target count it’s crystal clear.
damn, but 4pc big
Spec has way more confusion to it than “cleave/aoe” for people new to it
thanks
the only hard thing about sub is correctly pooling sod dance for shadowblades windows
That's only because guides exist - I'm just advocating for it to be more intuitive through reading the abilities/passives alone
You can still press your precious evicerate in 8 targets if you want “prio” 
and the managing of that is insanely fun imo
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/g15dsky5xLedYks27xYdkw Isn't this SimTrap? How does a 2-minute CD trinket feel in M+? Should I still run it anyway
what is that madness
Patchwerk 5 1:30
Why is every Sub Rogue running Unyielding Netherprism + Ara's Ritual, but when I sim it, the results look weak for me?
What, don't do that
Yogg saron
THat's not a realistic fight setup, that's not useful sim data
forge and prism are just good trinks that perform well together
Having choices of what to press vs 100% only press x or press z is just dumbing down the player decision making process.
You literally can choose evis at 8 or BP at 8. It’s giving you power to do what you think is situationally best.
Sub isn’t a 2 button spec nor should it be.
Unyielding Netherprism was Bugfixed to no longer deal Uncapped AoE Damage, causing it to eat a significant nerf for Mythic+ and AoE scenarios.

hmm
Havocs best trinket
It's the passive dmg part anyway
Look, DH's have to be the center of the universe
How exactly should I sim?
Ur still using it
That wouldn't change if you leaned more into evis over bp though
Just use a basic Patchwerk sim for a raid encounter, or Dungeonslice
would just change the number of targets you press one ability over the other
What fight is 5 raid bosses doing nothing for 1:30? You need to be asking sensible questions to the sim to get sensible answers.
in terms of optimal rotation

First pull in dawnbreaker
simming double on use for a single 1:30 pull and then asking why it isnt simming well is certainly a choice
Also the sim wouldn't account for your 2nd cd where u actually use prism
I want to find a trinket for m+, not raid
Just dslice
how should I simulate for how many minutes?
like said above, dslice is good
Use dslice
or if you absolutely want to sim patchwerk for whatever reason dont use a timer that shows you getting a single cd use on it and wonder why the trinket combo that works well over multiple uses of cds does poorly
I don't understand? xd
is this wrong ?
considering spending at 7cp sectech is reduced by :
- 7s for a classic finisher
- 12s for a coup finisher
- +1s for a supercharged finisher
dance is reduced by half that amount
Yeah i dont get your point at this point
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8Ciy1PZdcG4xmArF4P5qEs Is this the most accurate result?
idk maybe I didn't explain it very well. I just think it'd be nice to get more power in Evis over BP... just feels better to press on lower target counts imo
and I want what feels good to be optimal as well
And as scath said
you want around 5 mins of duration so it does a good spread of 4 mins to 6 mins
Yeah
You can still press Evis on more than 4
You want to simulate a slice of content. Just doing 1:30 isn't.. really helpful in getting a picture.
I give up
And boy howdy do I sometimes
What are you going on about? Are you just hurt because 4T makes you make a decision instead of 5 or 6?
FW was/is the stupidity
Everything else at this point is just a magical number
Your a magical number
I just want our dmg profile leaning more towards ST/low cleave
(I don't know what that means)
Not optimal bro
I am a unicorn shitting rainbows sir. Not a number.
nice
No you
why're we pressed over a preference xd
You’re using the guise of it being confusing is the issue
Sometimes I just forget to do the proper rotation on AoE and fall back into muscle memory of SS -> BP lol
When it’s clear and well defined
That’s based
yeah I'm not gonna keep arguing over it, but there's a reason people keep coming in confused about why we BP on less than 8 targets with Nimble running
I know why we press BP on 4+ targets, it's just not intuitive through design
I don't think it's that confusing: BP got buffed. So now it's just better with more mobs to hit.
It is just numerically better (outside of prio I guess) to hit 5+ targets with BP instead of Evis because number betterer
But
You can still hit evis if the Situations demands it Pog
It’s not black&white
that's not what's being talked about though
they should tie nimble+BP tuning together so it's always numerically better to press evis on 7-8 targets
that's my vote
this is the point ^
You make it sound like you aren’t allowed to nimble
Buff bp
I agree with prophet aswell
BP in st
Buff BP


Maybe they just like prophet more than you

To be fair I missed the start of this and just decided to post
Black powda
prophet gets no votes. He jumps to assa as soon as there’s a hint it’s better in keys

The CRIMINAL
this is also true
well true for 1 season 😉

i did feel quite dirty
i got a lot of people being like "you're not playing sub???"
when you 1 trick sub that long pugging title you get a ruputation for it haha
hell yeah
I've had a few talks directly ask me this season "hey sorry if my pulling is bad" or "do you need restealths"
was a LOT
and I like going "i'm Sub man I don't care"
the restealth stuff has broken some poor tanks brains
Remove BP
ye restealth question is every time
yeah a tanked asked me this recently too
Yes I need them for TFD thank you
MAKE SUB GREAT AGAIN
because they see me hanging out in the background between chain pulls
I just tell them if the Rogue is complaining about restealths their either bad or the tank is bad at properly chaining.
i said "well yes i do gain some dmg from getting a restealth, but it's not as big a deal as sin"
or pulls where mob is 3% left and he pulls next
pull away
So just don’t drag a single mob at 3% into the next pack.
ye, that's most of it and that's just bad tanking
is there any recommended video guide for sub m+?
I'm not multiboxing
The tank I push keys with will pull when the dangeorus mobs are dead and it's so good
That’s chain pulling bruh
the most infuriating thing for a sin
I wouldn’t know
based
netherprism more for m+ or for raid?
Can you elaborate a bit more?
thinking tank won't pull more because it's been 10 sec
both
as sub the depression is watching a tank pull a boss when TFD timer is at 5 seconds
despair
Yes
and he then pulls 2x the pack size after your burst
Happens quite often
wouldd you guys take a champion prism over a mythic pants in vault?
How am I meant to play without CD while pugging, whenever I die with 18 prism stacks I tilt off the face of the earth
Instead of this, what if they make Sectech 8 and leave BP as is.
you need to use 2 sod and 2 dances during shadowblades windows, so sometimes u have to hold sod and dance to have them ready
I can do worse
i like it
Idk if pooling was rhe correct phrasing
The tank in a pug having a fucked up route where they LOOK like they're going a way you know for CD timing and then veer itno the boss suddenly
Back to BP at 4 
honestly a fix is using prism with every blades
Understood, I usually play sin and was super confused on sub "pooling" but you're not talking about energy lmao.
Hi guys im strugling rn i have ecodome trinket 710 and champ prism should i get the flood gate trinket instead of the eco one ?
i think the only time you need to pool energy as sub atm is if you send a dry dance w/o symbols to avoid overcapping
i've tried sending a dry dance w/o pooling and it's really bad
Technically the 10 before flag is pooling. Just not how it’s typically associated.
Is it a huge loss to macros Dance and SOD?
play cheat death in pugs
kinda yeah
yes it's bad
healers will actively ignore you if you play elusiveness and know when to feint in lower keys
if you macro the 2 together you either have to delay 2nd dance in cds to wait on sectec or you don't supercharge sectec
either or, both are bad
Has anybody else found groups (Around the weekly to 12 level) struggling with Kelpfist's trash
Now that you mention that, I noticed that i was waiting 1-2 finishers before going into second dance.
Its not only me then, i thought i was not using sd with sod sometimes lmfso
yeah that lost blades time means you have less of your 2nd dance in blades
I was under the impression you just sent SOD with every dance and macroed them.
