honest saddle
#

maybe a bit higher

dusk stone
#

That would be hilariohs

honest saddle
#

some trash packs would be nearly impossible

dusk stone
#

You would never get count but you could stealth everything

runic trail
#

I ran an all bear key earlier today and now... I have ideas.

honest saddle
#

I think you could get count eventually

#

press evasion, target 1 add

#

kill it

#

reset

runic trail
#

I mean timing it would be crap but... this has potential.

shrewd lantern
#

my brain still does dance backstab

#

then symbols sb sectec

#

i think thats muscle memory from when you didnt want to burn a rotten stack on bs

dusk stone
#

Whats wrong with that?

honest saddle
#

this isnt 2015 xiani

#

MOVE ON

shrewd lantern
#

yeah it probably is a non differenc

dusk stone
#

Sub is kinda cracked for how little damage it takes in keys

cedar eagle
#

in m+ since im not used to trickster (Assa main) do you just SS/Evis spam or do you shuriken/BP

shrewd lantern
dusk stone
#

You have nearly as much dcd uptime as tank sometimes

shrewd lantern
#

with feint cdr

flint python
#

so should I be able to hit my 5T target dummy sim in dornagol?

dusk stone
#

If the raid buffs and debuffs and etc are equalized

#

But i would just check if youre doing the thing right

#

I really hate arcane

#

Its most useless spec to me this patch in keys, everyone wants to run it in phys comp and its not a shaman

#

No melee kick

#

No raid buff

  • 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.
cedar eagle
#

shuriken storm is poop interesting

#

thank you, not used to this sub yet gonna test it in some weekly

hazy breach
#

!coup Only exception is this #2

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

And for AOE weakness

hazy breach
#

No

dusk stone
#

Eleem i find my shadow dance actually wear off for like a split second for me and i'm pressing sod dance then sectec

sick basin
#

Where else do you get EW from?

dusk stone
#

Is that fine or

hazy breach
sick basin
#

You just say f it and move on? Huh

shrewd lantern
#

storm ruptures on the gather?

hazy breach
#

Advancing coup stacks is more important

shrewd lantern
#

and hope for crits

hazy breach
#

Yes and/or before

#

So much power is tied into unseen blade and coup now with tier

#

And storming doesnt do anything for it

#

Most of your finishers in dance is not BP anyway, its sectech+coup

devout jackal
#

Would y'all say sub is the most complex spec in the game rn? For combined raiding, m+

dusk stone
#

For raid no

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.

dusk stone
#

Sub is high barrier to entry and after it clicks its easy

#

Literally just do the opener and dont worry about optimizations until after

devout jackal
#

I'm playing sub and BM rn. And BM just feels so faceroll for as much, or more DMG lol

#

Questioning myself why even play sub

lucid jackal
#

Idk. I feel this spec is so simple

#

But I guess most specs in wow are like, literal ret/bm

stoic sphinx
#

sub is straight vibing

#

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with fitting a second ST in my initial TFD window when pulling, basically I manage to refresh it juuuuust on the same global as my dance expires and I lose all of my macabre stacks, I'm wondering if that's due to the very low haste stacks as I'm ocassionally able to do it in lust. For context I currently have 1400 haste stat 🤔

warm marlin
#

i have still been doing the fw spread with rotten thing and it feels REALLY bad to do sectec storm (with 3 escalating stacks and the guaranteed one from sectec waiting)

#

into evis evis

dusk stone
#

The 2nd sectec in tfd is cdr dependent i think

bold hatch
#

Ye ye I know I'm just wondering if it's just gcd haste thing as it's like 0.5 sec off each time and it's really tilting

dusk stone
#

We have 1 sec gcd always

warm marlin
#

you need to cast sectec 2gcds before dance ends to get the full thing in tfd anyway (or well... around 2 gcds, sometimes 1 is fine if you had a very clean dance)

#

with prepull stuff i get it around 50% of the time without lust

dusk stone
#

I think youre suppose to use symbols for that sectec and dance after

#

As it lands i think

#

Its prob best to have sd weak aura and baby sit it falling off

bold hatch
#

So basically pool Shadow Technique combo points before in order to ensure it every time Ig

hazy breach
#

You dont need to focus on getting both inside your first dance to begin with

#

Sometimes youll proc and it will happen, sometimes it wont

#

Its not something to care about

#

Just cast sectech when its ready

bold hatch
#

I'm not concerned about it that much when it comes to Raid as I don't raid at all, mainly for m+ as you get a lot more value from TFD there

#

The thing that brought me to this chat is because I had the mini-boss in Halls +15 survive on 20 mil before healing and it literally would've made the difference :DDDDD

tranquil sorrel
#

How am I supposed to keep my raid spot if i dont parse 99 on the first week of trying subtlety

slate lantern
woeful abyss
#

hey 🙂
anyone have a good video guide for sub? im currently on assa and want to test out sub

wicked joltBOT
slate lantern
#

All 3 are good by active good players 🙂

woeful abyss
#

sorry, video guide 😄

slate lantern
#

Hachadino has some guides on his yt

#

But honestly start by just practicing the opener 100 times on dummies

#

That's 80% of the spec

woeful abyss
#

ok i will try, ty

lunar crystal
#

This is listed, in the wowhead guide under ST rotation for sub

hazy breach
#

Correct

lunar crystal
#

But, if you dont have shadowcraft stacks, and blades is not up, you would have to use 2-3 shuriken storms to fill your CP, is that still correct?

#

or am I missing something here?

hazy breach
#

Does it not explicitly say during blades

#

Above

lunar crystal
#

Just during dance

hazy breach
#

Ig it doesnt, but its not worth doing it unless you have blades (or 4+ targets)

lunar crystal
#

okok, nice

woeful abyss
#

i would love if there is any german guy who can explain it to me 😄

dusk stone
alpine wraith
#

likely not

dusk stone
#

Rogue poisons underrated

#

The lust pull at start of eco has a lot of trash that leeches

sick basin
#

Even swap to wound poison for that mini as assa, and that feels real bad but totally worth

dusk stone
#

Crippling 72% slow keeps mobs from moving much at gambit

sick basin
#

I miss running dragon as assa

#

Take all the poison

dusk stone
#

Crippling is actually really good with the talents

lunar crystal
#

I assume you need these two:

dusk stone
#

50% shroud cd and one other

woeful abyss
lunar crystal
dusk stone
#

I forget which but wasnt important

dusk stone
lunar crystal
#

?

dusk stone
#

Ill go look

#

Iron stomach and shroud cd i believe not at home atm

#

I wouldnt drop shadowrunner that talent matters

lunar crystal
#

hmm, my talent setup is already not running shroud cc

Thanks!

bold hatch
#

Ye ye I did run improved wound

dusk stone
#

Kidney one matters actually

#

You could though

bold hatch
#

I dropped the shroud cd for it

dusk stone
#

If you have wound poison with talents and you lusted and you had appropriate cds

#

No way that mini boss should have been healthy.

Did you remember to swap your poison,?

bold hatch
#

I think I was the only one that held for the actual dmg buff but regardless that 20 mil was the diff, it died on the second 3rd succ

dusk stone
#

Does kidney scale to 7 or more points with supercharger?

dusk stone
rancid crow
#

is this okay for nexus king heroic? 😭

hazy breach
dusk stone
#

So with leeching poison if i had 7% leech before i'd have 17% total yes?

bold hatch
dusk stone
#

Im sorry for your loss

hazy breach
#

Not 10%

tribal blade
#

thank christ finally

#

that was way more painful than it needed to be

dusk stone
#

The talent guide on wowhead is out of date

#

Leeching is listed as 10% as well as other errors

hazy breach
#

Its twice as good for assa, but for sub its 3.6%

dusk stone
#

It seems like we have ok sustain but i look at our hps and its shit

swift tinsel
#

We also take low damage

tribal blade
#

rogues don't need high hps

#

we take not a lot of dmg

hazy breach
#

We dont heal anything no, but we take very low damage

dusk stone
#

Yeah i dont take much

fair cloak
#

I figured something out

hazy breach
#

Assa does though

fair cloak
#

That is giga 5 head

hazy breach
dusk stone
#

But you cant stop a healer from being bad

fair cloak
#

Or not

warm marlin
#

Self heal isn’t too horrible with exhil and leech

swift tinsel
#

Sub should passively take the least damage of pretty much any spec in the game

warm marlin
#

You’re not a dh but it’s not horrible

fair cloak
#

During single target preas shiv dueing dance for extra macabre stack

#

Before tech

hazy breach
#

Not worth

fair cloak
#

7 stacks of macabre

#

Not Worth?

swift tinsel
#

Nope

dusk stone
#

Is exhilarating execution strong or no

swift tinsel
#

It’s alright

dusk stone
#

With 3% leech, 3% from finishers in snd and EE thst has to be decent right?

fair cloak
#

Why its not Worth, bcz gcd time?

warm marlin
#

I’ve been experimenting with it and it seems to be healing a good amount more than the increased healing node would be (in raid)

hazy breach
#

As an example, if sectech does 100 damage. Would you rather:

  • Use a 5 dmg shiv to buff sectech by 6% up to 106 damage
  • Use a strike that does 10, procs an unseen blade that does 20 and buffs your sectech by 3% from flawless form
swift tinsel
#

Tbh I feel like hp bars move so fast from healing the 8% doesn’t do much

hazy breach
#

Yeah in nerubar the 8% was noticeably better

#

But now you might aswell just always play exhil

warm marlin
#

Especially in i.e nexus where you’re taking a lot of dmg during a damage amp

#

And exhil is just topping you

swift tinsel
#

I feel like guardian with berserk up when I send prism in cds

dusk stone
#

Which tree is snd healing in?

fair cloak
#

Ok

swift tinsel
#

You mean recuperator?

#

The baby heal

#

Class tree

fair cloak
#

How u manage to make 6 stacks during one dance

hazy breach
#

You dont think about or track danse mabacre

fair cloak
#

Also can u chain dances so macabre doasnt reset

warm marlin
#

Sectec counts as 3

swift tinsel
#

It ends per dance

#

So no stack chaining

fair cloak
#

Kk

#

Auto counts for stack of macabre

#

But its irrevelant to wait for swing timer

hazy breach
#

No

hazy breach
#

Silly clones healing themselves instead of me

dusk stone
#

So we have recuperator, exhil and leeching for self sustain

swift tinsel
#

First their own gambling addiction

dusk stone
#

I feel like we cant take exhil much

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Recuperator is so little healing

dusk stone
#

It says up to 1% is it like psuedo leech or something

swift tinsel
#

It’s a tiny tick of healing

lucid jackal
#

I'm a full leech enchant gamer

#

I love leech

dusk stone
#

Yeah

muted oriole
#

!prepull

wicked joltBOT
#

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 than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
dusk stone
#

I run elusive in keys and i want more sustain

swift tinsel
#

I’m an avoidance enthusiast personally

dusk stone
#

25 vers is enough

#

Which enchants can we slam for leech, just bracer?

swift tinsel
#

Cloak

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Okay just LoH yourself

dusk stone
#

Wait tf

hazy breach
#

Presumably thats platform with 18 stacks

dusk stone
#

Clones healing themselves

#

Tf

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Hehe

dusk stone
#

Oh ny god that is cursed

swift tinsel
#

Clones suck what can ya do

dusk stone
#

Can we trick our clones

lucid jackal
#

Avoidance works on most things

#

Leech works on everything

#

That's my argument

tribal blade
#

@hazy breach ok yeah only pressing strike in dances is way more superior

tribal blade
#

had to get out of the muscle memory of casting storm to apply FW

dusk stone
#

Idk healing im this game makes me mad

tribal blade
#

but it's a lot better

dusk stone
#

You run elusive dr everything take no damage do healers job for him still lets you die

swift tinsel
#

Yeah just feels easier to strike always

#

And swap evisc and BP when applicable

warm marlin
#

why are you afraid of aoe damage as a rogue in the first place garf

tribal blade
#

something something candle king

swift tinsel
#

It’s almost the only damage I take feelsgnarlyman

warm marlin
#

i like going leech to cover the more noticable weakness of self sustain

dusk stone
#

So exhil is effectively 5% leech?

hazy breach
#

Candle kings got hands

dusk stone
#

Or does leech do weird things and not heal 5%

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

I usually end up with at least one leech piece and with leeching poison I ain’t too worried

tribal blade
warm marlin
#

i didnt push last season but wasnt the heal absorb scary on that fight too

hazy breach
#

No leech works as expected, except it comes in 1 second intervals instead of on each hit

tribal blade
#

at least in ST exhil doesn't heal for a great deal

dusk stone
#

So like

#

In our burst if were doing like 20mil on a pack

#

Thats 2mil healing

#

10% leech

hazy breach
#

Well exhil only works on finishers

tribal blade
#

yeah exhil becomes way better in aoe

#

if you're pressing BP

hazy breach
#

And it doesnt work on the sectech clones

dusk stone
#

I guess i am asking in aoe do i heal a lot

hazy breach
#

Well yeah, but moreso from regular leech

tribal blade
#

it's kinda annoying how exhil works with nimble

hazy breach
#

Since nimble flurry and sectech aint working with exhil

tribal blade
#

big oversight

dusk stone
#

Exhil shield doesnt show up with regular frames right

#

I use elvui

tribal blade
#

not sure, you might just have never noticed it

rancid crow
#

anybody available to review logs?

dusk stone
#

It would show up at white thing right

tribal blade
#

not very often you're able to actually stack it up high in combat

hazy breach
#

Ye youre not always topped enough for the shield to be noticeable

dusk stone
#

I see

#

Maybe its better with druid because hot healer

hazy breach
#

I mean it doesnt matter

#

If it shields or not

#

It either heals or it shields

dusk stone
#

A lot of damage is spikey too

hazy breach
#

But yeah its just classic blizzard oversight to not have it work with nimble flurry or sectech

dusk stone
#

Makes sense to me

#

At least we dont have invisible reaches in this game

#

There was a boss in swtor whose mechanic among others would spawn reaches with lightning between 2 points and it would bug

#

And it was all invisible

#

It was insta kill

hazy breach
#

Yeah blizzard would never have mechanics be invisible and instakill you clueless

dusk stone
#

Well we did have invisible mine bugs last tier

#

With desync at mugzy

#

So that counts ig

hazy breach
#

The first pull of rookery consistently had one of their frontals be invisible

#

Or well, partly invisible

#

Also most of the time if you kill the target while their projectiles are in air the animation stops but the damage still goes through

dusk stone
#

Is that why i would randomly die

#

Come to think of it we have invisible circles in the dawn church because of clipping

#

Also why is it.you dont like elusive? I took one look at it and i never looked back.

20% dr on direct, 50% with trickster for aoe on 2 charges you can layer feint and evasion for a lot of dmg

hazy breach
#

I mean most of the time feint works already

#

And cheat is insanely OP

dusk stone
#

Any examples of that?

hazy breach
#

If something is aoe

#

Which most things are

#

Then feint is 40%

#

With elusiveness

#

Its still 40%

dusk stone
#

Cant cheat get wasted a lot though?

#

Like if you get clipped on edge of circle with aoe its gonna go through it no?

hazy breach
#

What

swift tinsel
#

Typically only abilities that are what, 1.5x your hp bypass cheat

dusk stone
#

I tried cheat for a bit

#

I would die quickly after cheat was proc'd

#

Seemed like stuff went through it a lot

swift tinsel
#

If it was enough to kill through cheat then elusiveness isn’t likely gonna help

dusk stone
#

Im dead either way yes

swift tinsel
#

Or would have lived through with elusiveness

#

And cheat doesn’t require pre-planning like elusiveness does

#

It’s insurance

dusk stone
#

Meh i treat feint like insurance

#

If im not sure i just use it

#

It doesnt save you from bolts though i will say that

#

Do you guys use causese? Or targeted by spells

swift tinsel
#

Yes

dusk stone
#

Causese is so nice

manic salmon
#

is vers & avoidance multiplicative or additive

hazy breach
#

Multi

manic salmon
#

does that mean that

#

leech is better

#

enchantment wise

hazy breach
#

Leech usually gives less percentage per point

#

Just preference really, either is fine

manic salmon
#

in my head preventing damage is better than healing it

dusk stone

Well unless you are preventing a significant amount of damage already and have no healing

#

And youre dying to that

manic salmon
#

30% vers is a lot

#

15% natural dr comes in handy

dusk stone
#

Guess its a question of how much you trust your healer

manic salmon
#

this was just at a flood 14

#

keep in mind

swift tinsel
#

Usually trust them more than the tank/other dps

manic salmon
#

flood 16*

#

i had this and healer didnt

dusk stone
#

Im 3% avo 7% leech atm

manic salmon
dusk stone
#

Whats shit about leech for sub is you essentially do none outside of cds

manic salmon
#

Yup

dusk stone
#

And you rly dont need it then that much at least sometimes in cds because your in feint

#

Not sure it'd save you from bad pug healer either

#

Big momma will murder your face regardless

manic salmon
#

just trying to figure out whats what

dusk stone
#

Yeah same

manic salmon
#

in my eyes avoidance is way more useful than leech

dusk stone
#

Weapon poison is 3%

#

Btw

manic salmon
#

3.6

dusk stone
#

3.6 ye

#

I often dont run the 20% for it

#

But meh i want to explore how applicable non damaging poisons are in keys

cursive mirage
#

do sub rogues have a site like monks do and druids

hazy breach
#

No

dusk stone
#

1st pull in eco dome all of those mobs leech

manic salmon
dusk stone
#

Like its their designed mechanic to do so

#

Havent tested but wound poison seems good there

fallow nimbus
#

Speed is the best stat, can't get dmg if dmg can't catch you kekw

dusk stone
#

Gambit mobs run away, if they have 72% slow they aint moving

manic salmon
#

wound poison in halls

dusk stone
#

Or tank needs to kite as well

manic salmon
#

youre faster than mounts shrouded

dusk stone
#

Yeah sub is based for movement

manic salmon
#

you dont need speed

#

🥱

dusk stone
#

It will cut time off of keys if you use it a lot and the talent for it

short radish
#

you really dont need avoidance

manic salmon
#

ok speedy boy

fallow nimbus
#

167% here

short radish
#

im like 181 in my speed set

manic salmon
#

omg can i have your seed

short radish
#

sure i guess

manic salmon
#

yay

dusk stone
#

Where else non lethals good aside gambit, eco and mini boss in halls

manic salmon
#

lethal*

#

is good in halls

dusk stone
#

Or lethals too ig

manic salmon
#

wound is lethal

dusk stone
#

Poisons generally ye

short radish
#

nvm its 186%

manic salmon
#

dr in general is decent

#

but poison application for sub kinda sucks

#

cuz you dont really shuriken storm that often

#

and when murlocs start running

dusk stone
#

It works on gathers

#

Bp as well afaik

manic salmon
#

does bp poison

hazy breach
#

Yes

manic salmon
#

i excluded poisons from nameplates

short radish
#

i also have a leech set for funsies

hazy breach
#

Everything applies poison

#

Besides nimble flurry

#

Because its bugged

manic salmon
#

whats not bugged

short radish
#

backstab

manic salmon
#

im sure we'll find a bug

short radish
#

inb4 backstab is also bugged

manic salmon
#

if backstab was also relevant

hazy breach
#

Or well, presumably a bug

#

Since blade flurry applies poison

short radish
#

does GB crit strikes work now?

hazy breach
#

One would expect nimble to do so as well

manic salmon
#

i wonder if nimble flurry will go baseline

dusk stone
#

Wound poison works on 1st boss eco dome

#

Thats actually not nothing

tribal blade
#

if you see how much more dmg outlaw's instant poison does than ours

#

in aoe

#

would actually make a difference

short radish
#

but.... the first boss shouldn't be healing in eco dome

#

right...

hazy breach
dusk stone
#

True

#

But still

hazy breach
manic salmon
#

someone is saving dance to pad on the smallies

hazy breach
#

Rather than the dps loss from not applying instants

tribal blade
#

yah true

dusk stone
#

Is instant rly that much?

#

Its like 5k

hazy breach
#

Like not applying crippling with nimble on araz

manic salmon
hazy breach
#

Wouldve felt a lot better if it did

manic salmon
#

no wonder the small shifs were running so willy nilly

swift tinsel
#

Gotta have a dk with the 90% slow from DnD

dusk stone
#

How much of our dps is instant poison

hazy breach
#

Practically nothing

#

Like 0.5%

short radish
#

oh yeah all you high key andys like @tribal blade how much are you being ethical and doing prio damage instead of black powder

tribal blade
#

very small

dusk stone
#

Then lethals are fine

manic salmon
#

on singletarget like 0.7% at best

hazy breach
#

The difference is so small

tribal blade
#

on bosses definitely pressing evis

short radish
#

ez

manic salmon
#

i dont like black powder

hazy breach
#

Most of your finishers during dance are sectech and coups anyway

manic salmon
#

goofy ass ability

short radish
#

yeah thats true

hazy breach
#

Which does good prio

manic salmon
#

throw explosive powder

hazy breach
#

Like if you disable BP in the sim

#

It gains like 7% prio damage

tribal blade
#

i sometimes swap to pressing evis when a pack is dying and a big mob still has higher hp than the others

manic salmon
#

thats not that much then

tribal blade
#

but not at the start of a pulll

hazy breach
#

(and loses like 5% overall)

manic salmon
#

i was doing a floodgate the other day

#

with another sub rogue

#

we pulled in 6 divers with swampface

tribal blade
manic salmon
#

and my man was bping

dusk stone
#

Does crippling slow anything in flood

manic salmon
#

you dont want to cripple in flood

#

lol

dusk stone
#

I wondeeing if it did anything to the leapers

manic salmon
#

crippling fucks the gathering of the pulls

hazy breach
manic salmon
#

if anything youd want mobs to be faster in flood

tribal blade
manic salmon
#

i checked 3 minites ago

tribal blade
manic salmon
#

Yur

tribal blade
#

on bosses better to just full send evis

hazy breach
#

Assuming you have something that actually gets funnel might be worth to move away so youre out of range of nimble for them

#

If you want the full teamplayer experience

short radish
manic salmon
short radish
#

i full sent bp

manic salmon
#

thats so fucking true

tribal blade
#

that's suicidal

swift tinsel
#

Yeah wtf

#

That’s such a shit pull even without a boss lmao

short radish
#

yeah i was kinda confused by that pull

#

but the mad lad did it

manic salmon
#

full cds with bloodlust its not that bad

#

the kelps and swampface

swift tinsel
#

The kelps

#

Yeah actual insane idea

dusk stone
#

They heal?

swift tinsel
#

Yes

tribal blade
#

that's an enormous strain on your healer

short radish
#

they heal.

manic salmon
#

They cast heal

#

you can purge it

dusk stone
#

Wound it is then

swift tinsel
#

Pray you have a belf

manic salmon
tribal blade
#

lol yeah make the healer cast purge mid rot boss

swift tinsel
#

Or multiple

tribal blade
#

with the aoe from kelps going out

#

that'll end well

manic salmon
short radish
#

woooooo black powder

swift tinsel
#

I do miss the aoe purge sometimes

tribal blade
#

people sometimes pull in crabs into swampface

manic salmon
#

i wanna

tribal blade
#

but that's more managable

manic salmon
#

go night elf

tribal blade
#

healer can communicate when they need to die

manic salmon
#

just so that i can get more first dances off

tribal blade
#

best use of nelf atm is melding casts and stuff

manic salmon
#

sometimes vanish isnt enough

tribal blade
#

you can become low key invincible in halls/priory

manic salmon
#

Yeah thats also true

tribal blade
#

with meld

manic salmon
#

i love vanishing casts in dawnbreaker

#

cocoon? garf

#

abyssal cast? garf

tribal blade
#

i need a list of everything vanish/meldable this season

hazy breach
#

Its a bit weird how theres multiple 2 minute on-use racials that give stats but no 90s one

#

Ig berserking is 3 min, so thats almost 90s, but its haste unfortunately

manic salmon
#

what if

#

they made dance & symbols scale with haste

swift tinsel
#

Then we become outlaw

#

And need breakpoints

hazy breach
#

They should do something to make haste better yeah, but not like outlaw

tribal blade
#

yeah there would become breakpoints

manic salmon
#

better than having a dead stat

#

dont you think

hazy breach
#

Honestly no

swift tinsel
#

I mean we get good value from three out of four

#

So I don’t think so

manic salmon
#

i mean if thats the case we just remain as having haste a dead stat

tribal blade
#

gain more passive DR from stacking vers

hazy breach
#

If you ask in outlaw im sure most of them would prefer to not requiring to reach their haste breakpoint

tribal blade
#

also not tied to lust

#

or PI

hazy breach
#

And then its a dead stat after that anyway

manic salmon
#

idk i just dont see how else they make haste viable

hazy breach
#

I mean they could obviously do other things to make haste more valueable, rather than reducing the gcd

swift tinsel
#

Idk with the way sub works haste is just kinda weird to try and make fit

manic salmon
#

well it doesnt work

#

because energy outside of cds is useless

hazy breach
#

Gutting out energy regen would make it better

hollow heron
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
manic salmon
#

and you dont have energy issues in cds

#

the only way to make it releveant is to make you have energy issues in cds

swift tinsel
#

Yeah instead of raising energy cost just make regen lower like they did with feral

hazy breach
#

Thats not the only way though

#

Theres tons of others

manic salmon
#

im all ears

#

i like haste

swift tinsel
#

Have relentless and shadowcraft buoy energy economy in cds

hazy breach
#

You could get more damage during dance based on your haste, you could make rupture scale better with haste

tribal blade
#

something like with multistrike during wod

hazy breach
#

You could make it so we proc certain things more often with haste

swift tinsel
#

Honestly giving rupture any interaction with our kit

manic salmon
#

yeah i agree with hap

#

rupture feels out of place

#

filler spender

hazy breach
#

The passive unseen blade procs do scale with haste, but they could scale more aggressively with haste

dusk stone
#

We had garrote at one point too

swift tinsel
#

Esp after playing with the increased ubs from tier this season

manic salmon
#

funny how

#

deathstalkers will never be even close to what trickster provides for sub

swift tinsel
#

They abandoned it

#

Fully

manic salmon
#

remember when they nerfed

#

dsm for sub on ptr

swift tinsel
#

The tier set nerf was hilarious

#

Bc it makes no sense

#

Besides as a deterrent

#

That’s the only thing I can think of

#

Because it’s numerically behind

manic salmon
#

i like cut the grass more

swift tinsel
#

Then it’s nerfed

plush glen
#

who at blizzard ok'd this Balanced

swift tinsel
#

And also plays terribly and no part of that was addressed

hazy breach
#

Its still used in pvp

manic salmon
#

pvp pepeLOLE

hazy breach
#

They obviously couldve just nerfed it in pvp

#

But probably said fuck it and nerfed both

swift tinsel
#

Ye PvP is entirely insular

dusk stone
#

And give rogue development time

swift tinsel
#

Lmao

manic salmon
#

dont worry

#

SURELY

#

next reset

swift tinsel
#

We’ve been asking for that for years

manic salmon
#

we get 25% of rogue bugfixes

swift tinsel
#

And then they add more via tier

#

So it’s a net gain of bugs

#

😂

manic salmon
#

i woildnt be surprised

dusk stone
#

Well at least they fix some

swift tinsel
#

No it literally was

manic salmon
#

if current assassination bugs stat until 11.2.5

#

or until midnight launches

swift tinsel
manic salmon
#

the fact that any slash of cut the grass eats cold blood

swift tinsel
#

At a time when we no longer rotten storm

manic salmon
#

is hilarious

swift tinsel
#

And also ‘fixed’ backstab fw from the front

#

Thanks guys

dusk stone
#

Meh rotten storm is ok

hazy breach
#
Coup de Grace has a 1.2 second GCD instead of 1s```
If anything gets fixed i'd expect it to be these
dusk stone
#

Finality isnt amazing

swift tinsel
#

I would hope

#

It’s a different shade of the RS one

manic salmon
#

its so ass

#

sometimes im at 4/7 st points

#

i cut the grass

dusk stone
#

If we had 2 ranks of finality with current build at no cost it would be a lot better

swift tinsel
#

Was saying earlier it’s just more in-your-face now bc we’re couping so much more

manic salmon
#

and im expecting less than 7 st by the end

hazy breach
#

Fixing that might collaterally fix the finality bug, but not sure

swift tinsel
#

So would removing SF

manic salmon
#

hopefully

swift tinsel
#

Plz god

#

Idc if they put a replacement there

hazy breach
#

4p working with shadowed finisher would be nice, but not something im expecting

swift tinsel
#

Just yeet that shit

manic salmon
#

whats shadowed finisher

hazy breach
#

a talent

swift tinsel
#

Honestly expecting no fixes or changes to our tier set

manic salmon
#

obviously

swift tinsel
#

They kept clone gamble the whole season

#

Can’t imagine SF fixes are easy

manic salmon
#

spaghetti code

#

i mean sub is in a decent place atm

#

i dont think we will be receiving any changes

swift tinsel
#

It is yeah, just some parts are dumb

dusk stone
#

Sub is in a good place atm

swift tinsel
#

Numerically mostly fine

dusk stone
#

Better than decent

swift tinsel
#

It’s the bugs and rough edges that need addressing

#

Some of which lead to buffs

manic salmon
#

i still cant believe

#

cold blood bug is a thing

#

or that assa coins can give you combo points

swift tinsel
#

Wym that’s par for the course

dusk stone
#

I rly want to play a non shit version of DS sub

manic salmon
#

or that one slash of cut the gross eats cold blood

dusk stone
#

I prefer the class fantasy

swift tinsel
#

I mean if you pretend only one hero tree exists as a dev you only have to throw out one fix for one tree every 9 months

dusk stone
#

Maybe it gets fixed in midnight

swift tinsel
#

And it doesn’t even have to be a good fix, look at how they added a blades interaction with nimble

manic salmon
#

im p sure

#

all devs are off to work on middy night

swift tinsel
#

Ye

dusk stone
#

If evis was aoe and you gave ds sub 10% aura buff

#

It would be fine

swift tinsel
#

Nah still weak af

manic salmon
#

if my grandmother had wheels

swift tinsel
#

And shit gameplay with mark

manic salmon
#

she would be a bike

swift tinsel
#

And fatal still a baby hit and bugged

hazy breach
#

Deathstalkers mark cannot be reduced below 3 while Darkest Night is up
Idk im most baffled by this one

swift tinsel
#

And singular bugged

dusk stone
#

Well i did say evis as aoe

dusk stone
#

So mark gameplay better

manic salmon
#

abusing this on assassination for singular focus

hazy breach
#

Because that bug literally bricks the entire gameplay loop

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

Of getting 2 darkest nights in dance

dusk stone
#

Yeah thats a problem

burnt ridge
#

im switching to sub, for m+, why the build recomended on wowhead and icyveins is diferent from the top .io rogues?

swift tinsel
#

I tried playing it without shadowcraft bc resets can fuck you over

#

And it was the worse gameplay

dusk stone
#

I was like am i misunderstanding the interactions with symbols

swift tinsel
#

Bc it’s agonizingly slow

dusk stone
#

Because that seems bad

hazy breach
dusk stone
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
burnt ridge
#

whats the main difference?

swift tinsel
#

Only symbols with tier set can consume marks with DN up garf_sit

burnt ridge
#

cold blood?

hazy breach
#

Most play tea

manic salmon
#

i love my cold blood

dusk stone
#

Eleem you have TR on your guide as the m+ build

#

Any particular reason why

hazy breach
#

To avoid that exact question

#

Since it doesnt really matter

dusk stone
#

Its better for newer ppl ig

#

Was just curious

hazy breach
#

Not really

#

Skipping nado is ig

#

But finality VS rotten is completely whatever

dusk stone
#

Yeah i do not understand nado myself

#

Wtf is its purpose

#

We spread rupture with rs

#

Why nado

#

Casual runs it too

hazy breach
#

Does it faster

#

1 builder for 4 casts of rupture

#

Is better than 4 builders for 4 casts

dusk stone
#

What are you giving up for nado

#

Finality?

hazy breach
#

Veiltouched

dusk stone
#

K

#

Is it good?

hazy breach
#

But nado should definitely either get reworked or atleast prevent shadowcraft from refunding while its active

#

And it also doesnt work with blades, since we used it on ST during ptr when it did

#

So if you hit 4 targets youll only get 5 cp, even during blades

dusk stone
#

A small amount of our dmg is magic then if veiltouched isnt a big deal

#

Vdh was like 30k buff for us last patch so it cant be much

#

If it wasnt 15 or 20

warm marlin
#

@hazy breach do you happen to know how cast time for events in logs works?

#

it seems to be a bit prior to when the spell actually goes off, is the log displaying the time at which it was queued?

dusk stone
#

Nado gameplay would be like rupturing when gather is rlly split go into nado finish ruptures

#

And flag

#

Seems ok

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.

No need to overkill a forced 4pack like on dawn

#

!prepull

wicked joltBOT
#

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 than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.

#

What does low rolling tier mean?

#

I dont understand how tier works at all lol man this spec has my head spinning

alpine wraith
#

the more unseens you proc the more they can double proc

#

then you get more coups

#

that give more cdr that give more secret techniques

#

that gives more unseens

#

so if you dont proc extra unseens everything goes to the shitter

stoic token
#

i see some variety in m+ what is the difference betweent playing thistle tea vs cold blood and rotton vs no rotton

wispy crystal
swift tinsel
#

makes next 2 backstabs/strikes guaranteed to proc unseen blade

shrewd lantern
#

so you need either a proc from tier

#

or thousand cuts

#

to get coup immediately

wispy crystal
alpine wraith
#

yea you get 2 procs

tribal blade
#

it's kinda crazy i still topped dps in that dungeon even with bad rng during quite a few cd sets

open glade
#

what do you guys think - for me should i just craft a ring since i'm still stuck with some low rings?

#

or wait and see if i get rings from DB / Priory before crafting?

#

ring is safest if i get say myth track neck / ring next week right?

shrewd lantern
#

you can also do delves if you have keys

#

i've gotten like 2-3 vers mast hero rings from that shit...

open glade
#

yah i've tried

#

i gave up

#

kept giving me haste crit daggers

#

LOL

tribal blade
#

there's quite a few good rings for us in all content this season

#

if you want immediate upgrade then yeah crafted ring would be it

shrewd lantern
#

i think only myth track vers mast is m+ vault?

#

or buying a boe

tribal blade
#

we don't just want vers mast now

shrewd lantern
#

yeah true

tribal blade
#

crit+mast and cit+vers works too

shrewd lantern
#

can also use logic gate alpha

#

omega kinda meh

tribal blade
#

i have that ring yeah

open glade
#

wait why

shrewd lantern
#

its probably our most accessible decent stat ring

#

on myth at least

open glade
#

guides said just vers mast?

shrewd lantern
#

you're gonna hit dr

#

if you full send vers mast

open glade
#

oh

#

how can i tell?

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i mean people were already hitting dr last season

tribal blade
#

not just that, crit is a good stat for us

shrewd lantern
#

that too

tribal blade
#

critting more in cds= more dmg

shrewd lantern
#

more fw

#

etc

tribal blade
#

honestly for M+ yes

#

having higher crit makes a difference

#

you can storm a few times on gathers to spread ruptures

#

and most mobs will have FW

shrewd lantern
#

its nice sin and sub are pretty interchangeable

#

swap a haste neck and ring or two

#

and you good

hazy knoll
#

i think ive hit dr

tribal blade
#

when you're the only person who held cds at the end of 1st boss 17 ecodome

#

because the charged sentinels fuck

and we wiped to it lol

shrewd lantern
#

dk almost losing to the tank

#

it was his key and he was like 3200

so that's understandable

no shame, just funny

1: press your cds

shrewd lantern
#

thats sub damage with cds

tribal blade
#

that's not overall, just the 1 pull we wiped

shrewd lantern

and probably 18 stack prism

#

that pull just spamming evis

#

no BP

hazy knoll
#

you're the DK in that pull without them

#

welcome to sub

open glade
#

so i just got 4 set

#

and i' m strugglign to understand

#

when i should be spamming evis to proc coup

#

during dance window

#

vs just spamming black powder

#

in big packs

shrewd lantern
#

watch your escalating blade stacks

#

when that shit goes to 4 your next evis becomes coup

open glade
tribal blade
open glade
#

i'm a dumb dumb

tribal blade
#

as soon as it procs

open glade
#

is that shown in this tracker?

#

but say you don't have coup

tribal blade
#

i have a huge WA to yell at me when i have coup

open glade
#

is it better to spend a few coups

#

i mean evis

#

to get coup during a big pack?

#

or just black powder?

shrewd lantern
#

is it the unseen icon

#

idk whos pack that is

open glade
#

one of the wowhead ones

hazy knoll
#

depends on what u want in the pack

#

do you need just aoe? bp

open glade
#

so if i want prio damage on a target, just spend on evis / coup?

hazy knoll
#

do you want to just fuck up the big mob? you'd evi and coup

shrewd lantern
#

coup is prio regardless

#

unless you want to hold it for cds

#

for a few

i have video and log evidence of this occurring now, this is 100% a bug. combo point refund occurs almost 900ms after the rupture cast (around the time symbols was applied)

idk im also in the minority i realize

#

of people that didnt hate ER

tribal blade
#

it's very weird for me playing with 200ms, i get delays on when coup procs

so i have to be very wary not to spell queue a strike

no matter how long you wait

even if you wait 10 seconds

it will refund

my muscle memory still does dance bs then symbols

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

Hi! I’m all new to sub and having a blast. But can’t wrap my head around when to use and not to use black powder. I’ve read and been told all kinds of differents things, for info I do keys from 10-13 currently and only raid hc

kind river
#

it only affects you outside of cds anyway right

#

because sectec applies fazed

Fazed is just a reminder to backstab tbh

  • 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.
