(that was a joke april fools mage buff btw)
Blizzard please
the fact kyveza's clones are called shadow clones like ours but look cooler and also visible
is criminal
Shadow blades having a shadow after image visual would be cool
true and real
Sometimes I wish they actually add some April fools things into the game for like a week but only works in open world or something
Is macro-ing shadow dance with symbols bad?
meanwhile rogues have to pick up our knives again!
even in april fools posts there's mage bias
lol are those April Fools
yes
these were the ones in cata
I like pickpocket, slight of hand and double stealth
i wish we got the updated cheapshot animation 
Guys Quick question, should I macro shadow dance with symbols or is that bad?
I have separate symbols button as well
I can’t imagine a world where it’s not just easier playing with them not bound
do you have separate dance button
there's some opener macro tech
hi friends, noticed all the top rogues running cold blood in M+ according to murlok.io?
tried it over thistle tea, and feel so energy starved. should i just stick with vigor + thistle tea?
What tech
sure, play either/or. it doesn't matter and is personal preference
I am not in the know
I think talk of the macro should be relatively infrequent given that it’s more likely to cause new people to make mistakes
It really is a cringe higher level optimization
fair
can always throw it into the tc channel for people
it is rather cringe
since that's not a place people frequent
unless they're more into find that kind of stuff
i think though it does make the opener a bit easier
How often does it happen
its 2 less buttons to press
bc you're only using it for the 2nd dance aren't you
I typically use backstab before symbols as well, so I should be good no?
Rotten gaming 😎
ily
No need to have anything extra for double on-use
Don’t we always want first global in sblades to be sectec?
Its fine
Aight imma do it
!macro

from the wowhead guide
I still cast blades during the global after sectech out of habit
do we put 1/2 points into Finality? or The Rotten for M+?
15% seems huge dam though
especially if it buffs coup
ye its bugged
Rotten is more aoe finality is more ST
people like the rotten because its consistent at applying FW to packs
But ppl overetsimate how valuable that is
oh so Rotten helps apply FW to packs?
wooooo shuriken storm first global in dance
Thats where a lot of its value in aoe is, yes
what are the specific pros and cons to running cb instead of thistle in high m+?
i assume more prio dmg?
more ST
finality is more AoE
i played thistle the entire time but im thinking of giving it a shot in groups where im playing with a frost dk or destro warlock etc
and bigger guaranteed number make my neurons in brain light up
its bugged af with Blackpowder
Cb is more prio and ST
Tea is more aoe and easier to feint without fucking yourself over
allways buffs shadowed BP for some reason
yea true the feint spam is so good ..
gets the endorphins flowing ya know
btw another question about finality to see if im understanding the tooltip right, in AoE if for example im spamming black powder until i get my first coup then i use coup, finality resets?
Just pretend finality doesn't exist
you get a buff after casting those spenders
which is consumed the next time you cast them
but yeah you don't pay attention to it
thats what i do im just curious how it works
so conceptually it buffs every other cast of each spender
and it just cycles
Each finisher is a unique buff
ahh alright
thanks
just cycles that individually on all of them
But its a bit bugged. So for BP its more like 5 - 15 - 5 -15 -5 -15
And for coup (which uses the eviscerate one) its more like 0 - 0.375 - 0 - 0.375

👄 👅 ❤️
so true bestie
Hi I have a question. I am doing sectech into shadowblades before the shadows hit the target. Is this bad?
Or good?
It’s a good idea I will put an actual writeup in the TC channel later
Can just refer to that
blessed bingus 
its fine
the sblade after sectech press is old min/max tech that isnt important anymore
what changed
¯_(ツ)_/¯
blades affects sectech now
apparently neutral now or something
it didn't before
i thought the blades after sec tech was because you got more globals in blades
and sec tech animation takes a global or something
yea that was more important previous when clones didn't benefit
is it m+?
nah araz
sweet
i dont have much sub experience, first thing i noticed is nimble flurry dam is like half other logs, if you got any insight
i think you start your flag too late
!guide
bro i read guides
which means your cbsectech is likely not hitting the adds since theyre already dead
you also missed a flag cast
Im sending on 19-21 cuz my guild is nuking them so much
i send at :21 and some pulls my 2nd sectec might still somehow be late or hit mobs at 20-10%
😎
if youre killing at 7min
you casted flag at 3 then at 6
acutally im not sure if thats a waste
Ye my first doesnt hit adds sadly but I figured rather get Cb one in
for me absolutely impossible to hit first in adds
could be we were in intermission and i didnt want to send but that seems like a huge gap
Isnt the First amp around 3:20-3:40?
yeah it's fine up till there
i hate fights like this where u need to get ur whole raid on board to get a good log
but then he holds for next amp (i assume)
Is there an addon to track time of an encounter?
though that might be fine also
yeah think i did
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XRZv4aHCpQw3mjt9#fight=8&source=21
this chinese log also casts at 3:xx and 6:xx
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/b1Ykg2yAvBHhMmVc?fight=16&source=81
here's a non chinese log because im racist
😂😂😂
they do sneaky stuff over there
and absolutely cringe logs
like the RL makes everyone not pad on adds
so he's the only one who does damage to them
I was about to get a decent frac one but on Break my shs Send me into walljail
my nimbleflurry dam super low, is that a positioning angle you think ?
probably
but i think you're also not casting dances at right times
ok but tbf in the non chinese one that guy had enough room to damage
with all the other people parsing 1-10
Ye
You can just shadowstep the knockback once it starts pushing you, still breaks walls
There Is an option in mrt to show combat timer
oh i assume youre not doing knockback strat?
I do but it send me diagonal in between Walls
yeah we stopped because the puddle thing
lmao yeah gl bro
Oh very weirdge
Ye
wait whats wrong with shadowstepping the knockback
what puddle
I couldnt even get out
i think this is two diff convos
They talk araz me about frac
thanks for the looks
Profile pic relevant
yeah im just going to assume that the adds are dying too quickly for you to do damage to them
i mean your boss dps is also kinda low
Want my Pic between all dem Walls? 😂
is it common for yall to get 100% slowed on pack 8 here, after halkias?
my nimble flurry mad low, malarki flurry doing 2.4 mil dps mine is like 1.2
if so, how do you handle it if cloak doesnt work
dwarf racial
tell ur healer to step up i guess
is nimble flurry area like a frontal cone ?
Distancin or shs team
the clones might have been out of your sblade buff here
its dispellable?
iirc it is
im pretty sure its defs out of your dance cast here
i never really have that issue cus of dwarf personally
Tell your tank to not pull both sets of anklebiters cause the dot will kill you anyway on a high key
you arent getting all the gcds inside dance
its around u
even behind u
i had that figured out on araz as well
oh shit thats good to know
cus i was sitting out of range sometimes trying to hit the cone 😎
consistently ?
actually why is Rotten more AOE? i keep thinking its more ST?
Is there a resource that describes where to start cooldown sequences for raid bosses?
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
tick things as needed
actually setting up a timer for my flag on araz helped me so much in being consistent
cus i kept changing that shit
if you're as brain dead as me
you can even put when to press symbols and dance
normal people would just put flag timings in though
nah i just put the first flag to remind myself to always send at 21
if i sent any later adds are dead for my cb sectec
and im off the meters until amp phase
we began doing the cursed strat of putting adds behind the portal
so never again will i parse
same
It is guy mixed them up
Finality more aoe rotten more st
some you do some you only get 6/8
How is that possible
What changed this season to last
also using bp on that fight might be illegal
Last season we played finality ST
BP is positively bugged with finality
So BP big finality buff coup small, rotten more st
so TLDR: use The Rotten over Finality?
Ye
The coup bug also wasn’t in sims last season
kk ty
I think Eleem went back and it was like 0.2% ahead instead of 0.7-1 (for last season with bug implemented)
Basically coup is 3 eviscerates combined, with the 3rd being double the damage of the first 2, and finality will only ever buff one of the first 2
so it’s quite bad with coup
How do you always manage to reply whenever you're mentioned even when you're not pinged 
Actually impressive

Hello guys! I am sorry to bother you, but I am being harassed by my guild leader, that he needs me to use Cloak on both soaks on mythic Araz. But they are 45 seconds apart.. am I something missing?
why is using max colors for pri stat gem better than using only one gem for me, but sims BiS is using only one? we starting the sandbagging or?
!cbug
you cloak 2 and 3
they aren't 45s apart
Raidbots doesnt use the correct gems and wont use one of each color very well in my experience
like gem sims on raidbots are bad? never heard of that before
aura
you have to check a box to make it use unique gems
It just doesnt do a good job of simming one of each color. If you put one of each color on, it does sim better in most cases though
Im in bed. @me in 12 hours if no one links one
I thought this was weird too not sure how fuu made the bis thing since he certainly knows more about raidbots than I do but any way I could compare same color the 4+ colors thing was always better
Good night sire
yeah, I'm getting like 0.3% better:
which ain't nothing
!mistakes
Fuu is really smart and does a great job but last tier the max dps sub sim didnt have a bracer gem even though it was possible to have one. Sometimes it isn't perfect.
what is it?
Shadowed finisher BP always benefits from finality

So instead of it alternating 0-15-0-15 it’s 15-5-15-5

cool
So what happens is that you get the buff once you press BP right
But shadowed BP has a very very very short travel time
thanks bro
playing sub in mop and retail getting double playtime
But theyve designed it to benefit from finality anyway if BP is cast while its up
!coup
So either it benefits from the cast, or the buff gets to go up before the shadowed part hits
Either way the shadowed part is always buffed 
What does the enchant orb in eco dome aldani do. You click it and it channels and pops in that little outside room
What's the stat graphics command again? !stat ?
if you have a better profile or upgrades, let me know so i can put them on the sheet
!stats
Bot seems dead atm so doesnt matter
Shame
!fuu
idk about the BiS profile, was just simming for my character
bot is in maintainance, the host is sadly down :/
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i got some questions about sub and its CD's if anyone can be of assistance. i been wanting to peek at it more coming from Assassination
read the guides on wowhead/icyveins/etc. will be your best resource early on
watch videos too
which sim setting are we supposed to use for m+?
post random questions about the rotation in here, someone will more than likely answer
gotcha, tried just hopping in and testing rotation but felt once Shadow Dance and Symbol of Death are out of charges the DPS just drops dramatically
you do less than tank damage outisde of dance/symbols
this is normal
so it only peaks when you have dance/symbols?
do u know if the sims account for that?
finality was simming similar or better for me than rotten so i thought id just go finality since im not minmaxxing rotten
Yes they do
ok good
basic rules that help alot
- hold on cooldows when flag or blades is on 20 seconds
- do not press Coup when you are not inside dance
- BP at 4+ targets
- do the St opener corectly and your damage will be good even in packs, if you are more confortable with it swap Evic with BP ( if pack is big )

When would u send cursed stone idol?
right before shadow blades?
the cast time is awkward so have to ask
I have it 723
ive came to ask literally the same thing
its awkward
u can use it while running into the pull to make it easier i guess
I have that and netherprism
i hate this trinket but it sims way better than anything else i have

For M+ do sub run sim Dslice ?
I would send it before flag or right after flag, you can send it early cause you won't need the crit buff for your 2nd secret tech in shadow blades cause of cold blood
what would you advise me to use my last 60 gildeds on for this week (i can get prism to 710 and have 30 spare, or upgrade bracers to 720), nexus king mythic progresion purpose
prism seems like the best choice yes
Sim angle
idk how a 5min sim reflects on naxus
ye but i have 30 spare then
well not much you can do without inting one thing tho that belt should be worse than DISC
usually we replace DISC with a 720 or so belt
my sims said this
did you sim with critical chain
i very doubt a 704 beats it
723 belt was a 0.1% upgrade for my gearset 
it was 0,1% worse for me XD
only got better when i geared for more crit
but i aint no critter
12240 crit nuff?
just sim it tbh we may have way diff gearsets
Bro i have a socketed nexus king belt at 710 and plexxus ring at 710 and it beat my disc belt by .2%
Lets go
!!
I still suspect this is due to having too much crit ngl
Delve belt goes brazy
Yeah ik but i cant really replace anything atm
I wonder if disc belt is better for nk anyway
If im getting a proc on the burn
question guys so we send 2 dances and 2 symbols in blades then 1 symbol out then save 2 for next blades?
!wa
It’s likely going to show prism as the route to go, but it will give you a basic glimpse at the difference to help in gearing choices. Exactly what a sim should be used for.
guys stupid question. Should create macro for Coup De grace i mean /cast Coup De grace and /cast Eviscarate?
it auto switches to coup when its ready
evis does
is there a way to macro 2 on use trinkets together and guarantee which 1 happens first? (e.g. idol+netherprism)
i think there's a 20s cd between on use trinkets
First slot would happen first, but if you mean next time you pressed it, maybe a cast sequence with a long reset time
(by first slot I mean, whichever line is first in the macro)
I’m looking at switching from ass to sub, if I stand around an attack a target dummy for 5min, should I be able to do the same dps as my sim?
Right now I’m about 25% below my sim. I imagine it’s me and my rotation but trying to track things down.
/use 13
/use 14
However. This is not recommended. If you hold 13 past the reset of it (say 2 minutes) and you have prism at 18, it’s going to not send prism and instead will send the other trinket
should i be sending prism on each shadowblade(macro) or using it manualy when it stacks up
You should be close to a target dummy sim
Exactly what’s I’m trying to game 
You can leave prism as a separate bind “in case of emergency”
2x needs some thinking
Which is why some don’t want to be arsed with it
Wow Analyzer is not working right?
Trying to figure out why parses are 50-80% on bosses when i feel like im executing shit nice >.<
we dont do that here

Nope melee is literally unstableronaldo

can we macro neatrherprsim to use it over certan amount of stacks
nope!
/cast [@mouseover; exists] Rupture; Rupture
^ yep that would work just fine
does a semicolon work there? I usually use a comma [@mouseover, exists]
do we use sectec outside of supercharged?
im watching a stream to understand why im doing less dps but i keep seeing this
yeah it might be a comma actually
whats the number to shoot for on danse macabre? 5? 6?
its a comma yes, but thx!
Why are some chinese player spending rotten on shuriken storm when APL spend it with Backstab ?
i'm clueless can someone help ?
when do we want blessing of autmn on nexus king?
as far as stacks? I don't think we actively track that we just go for the same (or similar) dance rotations
In aoe to spread find weakness I would assume
But why would the sim not do it tho ?
!coup
Coup de Grace Optimizations:
- **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. 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.
@proper rune ^
!wa
Idk but it feels better for me as well
I do Symbols->storm->dance
id assume to apply fw to everything
Ye that’s def the logic behind it
Ye storming in dance is definitely not it unless you think the sim is 10000% wrong
But I haven’t made it be a gain in the APL except through specifying a specific opening sequence
The sod > storm thing is probably good unless you have coup
In which case you'd get the fw during the coups
Ya I’ve noticed that I do a bit too many storms when that’s the case as well
Most of the gain from the sequence you posted in #1065728795455266888 was from it skipping ruptures (which is good if the fight is exactly 2 min like yours are)
But its still a small gain
But simc is rough
Ohhhh does it normally apply rupture to everything first?
Makes sense why it was a gain on 3 targets, despite not getting full combo points for first sectec
i applied and got invited to the first group and we killed first 2 after 3 pulls lol
that was surprisingly easy
lets go! 😄
Ye its usually better
But not if it loses you uptime on flag and blades
Like it would on exactly 120s
is anyone else getting shadow technique sound bug on nexus king add phase?

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:

You can use ths weakaura to get a reminder: >Open on Wago.io <
yes
im not sure what they did
it was fine last week
Can I shadowstep on fractillus (mythic) when I get the knockback to break the wall or does it not break the wall?
now we get there and my ub and sht weakauras are just dying
I'm pretty sure you are cced and can't shadowstep before hitting the wall
You can shadowstep right after tho
I can Shadowstep. Idk if it breaks the wall tho
you can shadowstep during the pushback ?
you can, and it does break the wall as long as you wait for the push
so its an issue with the game and not my wa's being outdated?
Yes
I am doing it right now
Okay, ty
believe so
i can say it was happening to me a lot on tuesday and wasn't last week
in a ST fight do i use prism on 9 or 18 stacks
prolly 9 and 18 if dmg amp coming like on loomi?
I've seen somebody say here that the second coup had a fix +5CP bonus to it so you can use it at 1+ CP. Is that true ?
any WA to remind us to SoD just after wipe in raid ?
k boys, i got it.. how do i use it kek

macro it to blades?
Unyielding Netherprism
Use the trinket at the same time as Shadow Blades. What stacks you should use it on depends on your trinket combination:
- If its your only on-use trinket: 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.
- If youre using Prism+Forge: Rotate between them each Shadow Blades regardless of stacks (so forge on pull, prism on 1:30, forge on 3:00)
- If youre using Prism+Lily: Use Lily with Blades until you have 16+ stacks of Prism, then use prism and hold Lily for next Blades.

hey guys, can someone guide me how to make a WA to highlight raid frames when people have a debuff?
I've asked chatgpt, youtube and i can't seem to make it work.
More specifically i want a glow effect on the raid frames of people that have the astral harvest debuff from forgeweaver, to quicker see who i can shadowstep to when i also have the debuff.
with lily i have to unmacro it and have 2 onuse trinkets i may just delete that lol
Had so many pulls last night with no coup procs in my opener during Nexus King. Almost threw my hands up
is coup or sec tec prio in cds?
I usually just take one from the Northern Sky pack, copy it, and change the debuff its looking for.
But the basics are:
Trigger>Exact Spell ID> 1228214 or 1233979
Actions>Check Glow External Element>Glow Action set to Show>Glow Frame Type set to Unit Frame>Glow Type to Pixel Glow>Glow Color checked> Choose a glow color>Border Checked
thx alot i'll try it out!
anywhere in p1
How does it apply it? Does it flag and spread ruptures or does it hold everything while spreading them?
wtf
So were progging nexus mythic, and all of the sudden im not doing any dmg anymore last 5 pulls
!fuu

guys 1st dance is on 1 sec remaining, sec tec with cold blood available, i'm in cds, do I wait for 1st dance to drop then send another and then cb sectec or I try to cb sectec in 1st dance
You just send it
Just make sure you dance immediately after it ends, so you still buff the delayed parts
can someone please explain to me why I can't parse for sht with a perfect flawless fking rotation
rng gear and likely also kill time
and not many sub parses so not a lot of suckers
can I link logs here
to int and you get higher logs
also
many of the bosses require you to be able to do damage on adds to parse
meanwhile assa blaming parses on too many parses 
how does that make sense
I mean my trinkets are surely trash
it's assa
good question
like one thing i can be sure of
people will jump off this spec asap. just the nature of it
what was the kill timer for you to do 5.3m on frac bruh
thats like a top 3 log
yea that is the thing there are so few it is not even 98 it is a 96
thats so depressing
5.5 king of the hill
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.

I would try and see what happens.
If anything it'd be better to just shadow step
That way you get in the rhythm of stepping after knockback
u can step it it still breaks
Some people say to only use finishers on 6 CP, are there times when its okay to do 5 CP? or does it always have to be 6+ CP finishers as sub?
Wait is that true
Does it really still break
I’ve been under the impression you shouldn’t cancel the break knock
six except coup
Does anyone know what addon exile uses to anchor his damage numbers to the mobs he’s hitting?
NameplateSCT will do it, not sure if that's what he's using
I believe NameplateSCT is what he uses, thus @lilac stag gave you a great option
go me
thanks
Im pretty sure this is fake news
You have to hit the wall
No I just did it, you do not
You just have to be knocked by him but can step .1 seconds after that
Yes or we'd have died on myth

I’ll go look at some logs then
Because I’ve either been psyop into less dps
Or something not right with that
Doesn't matter I still played it DOGSHIT and greylogged I thought that fight was going to be a lot more dangerous than it was
So was playing way too cautious
Matters to me I get pretty much every fucking break
Also this killtime
Kinda hard to tell from logs
on guide it says to shuriken storm between coup de grace but on top logs i see people do shadowstrike or nothing in between why?
I guess I’ll try next week on reclear
you jsut need to get yeeted then you can step
Dude actually?
I’ve been fucking psyop’d
I’ve been eating the full thing
Look at my fkin frac logs
They’re abysmal
Same
Dude
That’s why that fight feels so shit to me
I get break and I just fucking mald
Who spread this misinformation
including look back to see it broke
just gotta be careful to not w key too far forward
and accidentally push yourself back into someone elses circle
Yeah pretty much what i do
step as soon as it does damage to me
Haha what! You guys don’t eat the knock back and scratch your ass like a lost baboon while waiting to be able to get back in?
Why I see people sending Coup de grace even on low cp, it doesnt matter how much cp we have when we cast it?
Yes it matters you finish at 6+
so casting it at 3cp is a mistkae?
Sending at low cp is a mistake unless you have to send the second one and can’t build combo points for whatever reason
I'd be impressed if a projectile already launched out
was coded to follow you when you stepped
You know I didn’t even question it when I was told not to cancel the knock
i feel it'd make a funny clip if anything
just seeing a rock make a 90 degree turn
Obviously you prefer bigger cp spend
But better to use it at 3 than to let 4p time out

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.
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
!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.

Any advice on how to properly track the symbols before next Shadow Blades?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/xcZCXytuj9kAWvDLqvrYPM I wasn't expecting a heroic belt to beat the titan one. Did I botch something? >_>
Simmed in m+ build, but still
Actually nvm, just realized it had the sword on offhand.
could someone check my loomithar raid log https://de.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wY4pq9MTjZdxQKvf?fight=13&type=damage-done playing sub since 4 days
hello, returning player here and i wanted to ask if there is a proper way to fix my keybinds or make a macro for my burst windows to pop all my buffs without braking my fingers
I know the recommendation is don't use Hekili, and I'm learning without it -- but I have it for other alts and I noticed it would frequently recomment SecTeq before Blades, which seems like a very obvious and weird mistake for such a popular addon (which the Wowhead guide even recommends as an alternative to the in-game highlighter)
That’s one of the hard things about sub. You need really efficient binds that are comfy to access especially for the cooldown windows
If you used the armory function on raidbots the belt automically selects the default option (charged bolts), which is bad
I'm finding this challenging, I at first had Dance and Shadowstrike on the same button so I accidentally would send a bad dance sometimes if I doubletapped strike at the very end.
also sometimes i think i have something like input lag which i spam a shadowstrike but it takes a while to do, a sec to generate the combo points and like anoher sec to use eviscerate and it doesnt feel its the global cooldown that mess this
Some people bind their dance button so once you’re in dance, you can hit the same button for backstab
Out of stealth bind, it’s dance, in stealth, it’s backstab
Interesting, I have backstab in the same spot as my other fillers (tiger palm for my monk, mutilate for assa rogue). I guess that'd allow you to just hit symbols double tap Dance for the backstab and go right to Blades
I was looking at a log of mine yesterday and it's partially because I'm learning but I'm definitely hitting the opener too slow
For me, I have dance bound to E, and symbols bound to R, so to enter dance it’s E R E, unless I already have enough combos to spend of course
Somewhat relatedly, another q -- if we get coup and the 4 set bonus but it refunds the combo points, do you double tap or still shuriken between them at max cp?
If you get filled between the two coups, you just coup coup
Cool, appreciate the answers
I did not know that, thanks.
is it just me, or is sub rogue 20times harder than it used to be, i feel like i've lost all knoweldge and momentum of the spec. I had my trial today and i did so poorly it has me thinking if i've ever even played this game before jfc, im trying to follow the lorrg timings and everything and for the first moment it looked like it worked well but then suddenly i just plummet hard,
anyone know any streamers or video guides that can help with the current mythic raid timings and everything?
Its pretty easy u just need to know what ur doing
TBH I think it's easy compared to like mop sub
If u just try and wing it, it's not going to end up well
But the heuristics are fairly simple imo
You need to be able to understand your budget, and do your cooldown windows correctly every time
It sorta reminds me of fire mage, it's entirely dependent upon nailing your combust patterns
i might just be giga demotivated rn and just dooming hard, but i just dont get the whole dance 35 sec thing. added to the fact that it was my first time actually playing through the mythic mechanics and recently chanign my ui it all came at me at once and rn im in total despair lol
so 35 secs until my cds i just... dont use anything?
i see everyone using 2 sectecs in 1 dance
things i havent been bold enough trying b4 and now after practice tried all at once
and it feels so weird
85% of the spec is just getting 2x dance 2x sod 2x sectech in blades
1 sectech in 1 dance sod
right?
yes
You can double sec tech in a first dance cooldown if you get good shadow techniques refunds, but it doesn’t matter much. What stealthi said
would u mind reviweing my loomithar mythic log above
1per dance
Sometimes you proc and you can do 2 sectechs in your first dance, sometimes you dont
It doesnt really matter, and its absolutely not something you should get hungup on
The basics of using 2x symbols, 2 dances and 2x sectechs every blades
Is what you should be focused on
can someone explain shadow technique to me like i am a 4 year old? Is it supposed to add combo points to the builder or spender?
if you send a second sectech in the very last global of dance what happens to the damage of it
do you need to dance again to get the buff
lil busy atm
BRO'S GOT HANDS
You make sure to dance before the second part of secret techniques lands
if i upgrade my oh dagger to 723, should i switch it to my mainhand? or is like the everforged stabber always mainhand? mh is 720
723 as MH
Mainhand ilvl is the biggest dps upgrade
is it worth though or wait till the second dance to hit secret
Why sectec has to be in the dance and what does rupture do for us?
That’s fine too
whats the command for the rogue sim google doc
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ty
took the screenshot and sent it in the intermission while flying
king of multi tasking ong
But rupture is not even up there in terms of DPS tho
Built different
You send way less ruptures than other spells
But, if you look at numbers, invest 6 cp in rupture is better than invest 6 cp in eviscerate out of dance
That's why it's neutral/worth if target lives 12 sec+
is there a way that i can see the difference between bp and evis in a 8 to 10 target pull?
stealthi how much do i care about doing damage in soulhunter intermissions
So it's pretty important to keep it on every mob outside of dance
it doesnt feel super relevant since cds arent up then?
0
Its like 5% overall or prio either way
so its really as long as you get blast during cds on all 3 i imagine
to get high number
I would say 0 cuz you wanna send shit when they're all 3 there
wait so even in prio bp out dpses evis?
No
yeah i figured farming sht afk is fine then
Yes, like on Araz
araz was a good time
when you hit pylons
idk why but i feel like im doing more when im evising
I legit told my RL I was not gonna send a dance on it
So I still don't understand how sectec interacts with dance and why it's good to use it as a first finisher
If I do that, we de sync the pylons
Dance makes us do more damage

Did you read dance?
It buff damages done
And we use as first finisher to get 2 * 100% proc chance of UB
And stacking Flawless
And supercharge with Sod
You just wanna put it in cd asap so you can use mor
Except for if you have coup right?
Oh, ok that makes sense, it does not say it buffs damages though
No
It says it gives buffs of being invis
Eleem says it's not a big deal
Trying to supercharge second coup is useless
Lemme check but I'm kinda sure it's written
Ye, the dance macabre makes me think it is best used at the end of dance
Don't think, trust
Because of trickster
Trickster?
Hero talent
I need to think too, I do trust though
Just in a key you end up in different situations
Ye, the screenshot, I wonder why wow head tooltip different
No, about Sectech first finisher
is it better to keep passive trinket if im willing to wait for the prism to stack up and using it every second cd send
or just use two on use trinkets
I trusted the process until tank pulled 3 mobs when my cds up
like lily and prism
Ye, that makes sense
PAssive + prism / Lily + passive / Prism + forge
got it thanks
Prism + lily is bad
Funniest comment ever
Btw, you can sim your char, double use is in
nimble fury deals up to 8 targets ?
!aoe
General Gist of the Aoe rotation
- At ALL target counts cast Coup de Grace when it is ready.
- At ALL target counts cast Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance, not Shuriken Storm. (unless coup is ready, !coup)
- Cast Black powder instead of regular Eviscerate at 4 or more targets (there is no other secret rule).
Yes but BP does more damage that Evis
ty
!up
Ye, so sectec true value in the unseen blades
You're welcome
Tbh, there's no idea op tech
Just follow the rotation in IV or Wowhead guides and you'll be good
Well I got the opener more or less automatic, but key do make you move sometime and some things are missed, I just try to understand how to make best of the situations
Or also in between burst windows are a bit hard
Sometimes overuse dance
And then 1 dance for blades
!log
Which is poopoo
You need to do math then
Cuz it's 2 dances uses between cd's
Sometimes more If you got a lot of cdr
But better sit on a dance between cds than having a single dance for shadow blades
Are crafted weapons still BiS? I find that unfortunate
Why you saying it's BiS?
Idk they havent been for a long time
Im asking if thats still true
It can't be cuz of ilvl
So, you usually craft it for fast big ilvl mh, than put it in offhand once you get a MM dagger
and then in the bank when you get a second
did u send a dance before cds in burn for this or just hard pool for flag
Just to lose a minimum of stats and have the embellish
Move the embellishment to wrists. Ez
Already on wrist and dagger
neck or ring
pool
!coup
Coup de Grace Optimizations:
- **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. 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.
holding maghar for that?
yes

pre disorient
gotta figure that one out
yo anyone here good with probabilities? trying to snipe forgeweaver trinket out of vault, better to kill 4 and have 2 slots with only loot from 4 bosses or 6 and have 3 with bigger loot pool?

If that's not right you can report it to us on the addon GitHub page or discord. Issue reporting instructions are right inside the addon settings menu near bottom left.
same as the prepull cheese
if you've already killed fract and soulhunters that loot is perma in your vault forever i think
If youve ever killed the 6 bosses they can appear in your vault
how you build back to 7 without spending tho
ah gotcha tyty
the timing is a bit tight to set it all up properly
you don’t need all of it
14 sht is probably the biggest gain
hard to do triple sectec in burn without it
Building a coup, sec tech, sod and storm to 7 before dropping the nuclear bomb?
Honestly I'm so new I was open to it being situationally correct and me being wrong, I was sorta asking the group how that might happen if at all
but will report it if it's legit wrong
autumn is certainly better
just have an hpal 
You can also sim yourself at the same target count and see what it does.
idt its as bad as on dimen
last q but how much time did you find you needed to get your sectec back preburn like 15-20?
how am I simming higher with pacemaker+prism rather than lily+prism(dungeon slice)
don't ask questions just accept the blessing of the robot telling you you don't have to double on-use
The only good double use is Prism and Forge
but lily+prism really makes sense because you only use 18 stacks of prism
Ans you sit on a entire lily cd
idk since you're also trying to stack sht you dont want to spend super hard
And sending prism every 9 stack or 18, is neutral
I abused the snd bug to spend and gain the extra cdr from the supercharge without using the supercharged cps
cast it at like 4:02
can someone explain something to me, I have dps meeter obviously, just trying to do nexus right now in HC, Im number 1 on dps with 8m+ dps on p1, doing a full rotation and much more dmg after as well until p2 where I also do full rotation on titan add being nr1 dps again and rest of fight Im also number 1 or at least top5 through p3
People tell me do more dmg to boss and only reason Im top dps is because I cleave adds, theres literally only p2 with adds and Im nr1 on dps on other parts too so why are they saying my dmg is low on boss?
aight i appreciate ya ty
Cuz people are stupid
If you top damages on the boss, just don't care
Not a bug king, supercharge specifies DAMAGE abilites
but they were like 10 people saying the same thing
they say my dmg to boss is low
You got a log?
there has to be some sort of meaning to it
well its a bug that the snd benefits from the supercharge +3cp without consuming it 
A screenshot of details?
of the fight? no
Can't tell then
no, but I guarantee you I was nr1 most of times, unless my dps crash due to no cds after a while
but if Im nr1 dps I should be doing more dmg tho?
it doesnt make sense to me
Bro, people are just stupid
im tryna make sense of it and I asked them, they were just rude and called me bunch of names n shit
so I left the group
If you send your cds to the boss, you doing your job

Meanwhile bm
yeah I sent my cds full rotation 2 times before p2, its like 2 min cd
57% of it is blackarrow
so I literally cannot do more than that
XDDD
2 min? Doubt
no its like 1.5
im calculating the universe to full prestack in time and pool all my damage while bm
me press black arrow
flaggelation
it is what it is
It be what it be
flagellation
We got dragon to 1.2% lmao
Yeah, ikr, was messing with you
Is there any roguegod who I can DM for some help about sub? Ill pay 200k gold for the trouble
If we kill dragon i wonder if it does the last behead
Does spatial rifting db 1st boss beams still cause you to die from cringe
3 button BM spec and people in here constantly arguing how easy sub is. 
The good news is it took 5 weeks for us to hit bottom 5 instead of 2
#growthmindset
we heard too many people were playing mm with it being the best st spec in the game... time to buff bm until its even better

Assa buffs in 2 weeks at the latest
How much Haste do you need as Subrouge average?
None
- From chest. That’s it.
coldblod + sectec macro is it worth it right (for m+) ?
It’s worth it for raid as well
so i can have like 3% Haste and its fine?
You just need a non macro setech as well
Too much haste
1% gang
1%? My only haste item is shoulder piece and it put me on 2%
But that’s not what I came here for. I did a Warcraftsnalyzer. Practically every CD was badly casted because of SoD being on CD.
sucks to have shoulders.
unless someone actually worked on it we don’t use WA
It’s not supported
I’ve binded SoD to all major cD’s but obviously I spam them when in rotation. Which is likely using my charges.
um
Is this a common thing? And would you recommend not to bind SoD?
The macroing to CD’s?
The answer is you didn’t read a guide
you have sod macro’d to nothing. That’s not at all how this spec plays
Well yea, but for convenience and to have one less bind I just macros SoD in…..
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
this is not a convience spec
😬😬😬😬😬 hence why my DPS is donkey
