is there anyone who knows a lot about how warcraftlogs works?
So start by reading one of those guides
so you have a basic understanding
And come ask questions afterwards
Clearly we need to buff sub, look at us near the bottom
Using is simple but the actual analytics can go very deep. To start just copy and paste a log at warcraftlogs that’s it.
legit biggest help you can do for yourself.
I’ll be doing that right away sir.
Rogue is the class where you don't want to macro things, even a spell with 3 charges and 25sec cd that just gives a bit of energy and +%dmg
In all honesty this spec plays like nothing else in wow, so take a look at all three. See which method of guide writing resonates with you best.
could I dm you and ask you some questions about it?
They all have same info presented slightly differently
Sure, I’m about to log now but can pick up any Q’s early tomorrow.
I am scared of what midnight will do to us or perhaps won't do anything at all 
there’s like 12 OTP in here that are mostly useful (or sarcastic) but helpful. 
For the record, I trashed all the macros with SoD in it. Threw them on the floor and never looking back. Next thing 👉 to read them guides!
need answers now haha
anyone I could dm and ask questions regarding warcraftlogs and my logs?
a bit of both
Use log
!log
It’s a bit cherry picked data
Boss damage on nexus is gonna favor specs that are just zugging boss
i see
And not helping much on platform
sounds like all 3 rogue specs needs buffs
Real and very true
im glad we are all able to come to a reasonable and logical conclusion
anyone else having trouble making a macro with coldblood and secret technique?
cold blood wont cast
it is there
!cbbug
Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:
- Relogging.
You can use ths weakaura to get a reminder: >Open on Wago.io <
thx guys
!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.
!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.
!wa
Is there an easy way to track when to storm instead of SS or is it just always in the opener after first coup?
Anyone who can explain the coup thing for me?
Im a lil stupid so dont fully understand what Im reading
its like I get dyslexia
it says stop using finishers
Don't use shadow strike or backstab between coup and free coup
Just press shuriken storm between
You don't want to waste unseen blades procs
When there's like 20 seconds left on your flag and shadow blades you just spam backstab until you go into your dance. It feels like shit and you don't use any finishers so it feels super wasteful but it's doing a couple things
- Farming shadowcraft stacks
- Getting coup ready to fire for dance
ah so thats what Im doing wrong
so I go into dance before using flag and shadowblades?
The bot says 10 seconds but between you, me, and the bushes, it's fine to pad that out just a touch longer. You want to be able to guarantee your two dances
What? No, you still do things the way you normally would with flag -> rupture
see me as the most dumb kid in the class, I have no idea wtf Im doing
XD
Im not sure I have my rotation down at all

Every burst follows the opener
Do you just send dance at ~10 seconds or symbols with it?
how do i sim prism so it has a certain amount of stacks immediately?
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
you would need a custom override
would probably have to go to the simc discord for help with that
we're talking theoretically about 1:15-1:20 into a pull, right before your 90 second cooldowns are coming up. you dance like you normally would at 1:30, starting with your flag. At 80 seconds (1:20) it's better to just chug backstabs and juice up your next series of cooldown-empowered dances
how often do you press black powder as sub
In keys or raid
keys
A lot
Anytime over 4 targets if you don't care about prio
whenever it's 4+ targets unless coup is ready to send
31 cast last key enough?
No
😉
Ahahaha
in 1 pull?
whole key my liver
obv i came here to ask lmaoo
thats in a +10 ara kara, where you have the AoE reduction mobs
i've seen a guide saying to press it and another saying to never press it
They buffed blsckpowder so it's big compared to last season
and to elaborate on that, it's [n-10 seconds] where n is your cooldown windows. so 80 seconds, 170 seconds, 230 seconds, etc.
they are wrong then aaron
!guide
that do be cooked
Wasn't it like 12 mobs or something before you pressed it
Yeah it was a fat pull i used it on
and that was it
so only time im using actual single target abilites is just prio?
other than that im just spamming bp
Stealthi you think antenna is better in m+ ?
is there any kind soul who could like jump on a call and guide me step by step about rotation and say whats wrong with mine etc? Ill go through what I do and can show on dummy or something
I really need some guidance on this, reading isnt exactly working well for me
Ye antenna+prism vs forge+prism

For you forge prism is better
because of this backstab that needs to be casted during dance, I need to have backstaba and shadowstrike both on my stealth bars yeah? And I can't just rely on my backstab turning into shadowstrike and pushing one button
do we give a single fuck about slice n dice btw?
like first pull of dungeon
aoe, bp spam with cds
we dont get it up ?
!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.

has anyone got the simulationcraft discord?
can someone explain me how Shadow Blades deals so much dmg over SecTec and Evis ?
it applies to other stuff too
Every time I look through a higher log compared to mine in M+, they cast WAY less black powders, and I'm not sure why. Obviously it seems like I'm overusing it but I'm trying to use SecTec and all my coup procs, idk why the difference is so drastic. Like 80ish for them, over 150 for me. They've also got significantly higher nimble flurry damage
what do you mean
Because Shadow Blades adds shadow damage to other skills your Details might be categorizing that additional damage under SB
this was a 20 sec fight against a rare, ending 40 mil dps, I thought it was a bug
you never evicirate on big groups?
!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).
eh normally no, in ara kara i do cuz they have packs where big fuckers reduce dmg to other mobs
oki
how are we supposed to pop tea in subs rotation right now? are we popping with every dance letting it auto use when we need the energy or whats the deal with that?
!tea
Thistle tea use:
It is recommended to macro Thistle Tea with Shadow Dance like this:
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null```
how are people casting SB faster than 90s apart? on nexus king

oh autum
Hi, Sthalthi one question, if I have the Prisma + Araz trinket, do I always throw them with SB? First Araz + SB, then Prisma + SB, then Araz + SB?
this is a thing with the karesh rares
seems to happen with the warrant ones, and the devourer invasion ones
!bp
all your damage gets amped to the sky
!blackpowder
4 or more targets
stupid question coming
be ready
I got cringed
I'll delete after
You actually have to play the game
what's the gain to get autumn on nexus king
Okay I got my answer thanks
CDs up faster
so best thing to do is having 2 different macros for blades right?
Huh?
for both use trinkets
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
We do not recommend macroing your cooldowns together because most of them result in performance losses compared to using them manually.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key as well.
If the trinkets are both 2 mins, add the first one you want to use first in order
people are macro happy. Sub isn’t a macro spec
We’re only using 2x on use with prism
If the trinket is lily + a 2min trinket, you can either add liky go blades or press both separately
yeah that is actually smart thing to do but on pull with bl I see only slide show
Raid or keys?
Use Kui Nameplates instead of platter in Raid
I dont think it will be enough 😄
Was going for that in mind. Although I use lily and prism in keys Edit: misread for araz+prism. 

!wa
wtf kinda drunkard do you think I am

oh wait i gaslamped myself into thinking you were using some cursed lily and signet combo
the lily pvp trinket 2x on use combo

signet convo really did you dirty eh?
!plater
its living rent free
i just hate it so much
why is that trinket so low stat
i get that it selects any stat or something but like
why is it behind a 1.5min trinket
why does assa get every other spec's niche and still sucks?

now they're trying to steal our BUG niche. gtfo
i mean using lily and prism together just feels so bad imo lol
1 dance charge, 45 sec until 2nd, Flag in 15, 2 charges Symbols and SecTec ready. Do i send Symbols into SecTec or do something else
that's a you thing bud
cast one more finisher and get dance down to 30 seconds and go
by the time flag will be up dance will be 30s away anyway
can pool or send one finisher
nah having separate binds to use lily + blades and prism + blades is cringe
Okay so always wanna hold SecTec there
1.5 dance and 1.4 sod is kinda your baseline of what you need
well yh i didnt say its ass for you lol
chase balls around or have a 2nd trinket bind. 
dingo got his ball
I'm loking lorrgs for Salhadaar, how are some people getting Flag again at 1:22? Sorry if this has been asked a bunch, I searched but didn't see anything
autumn
same for donny dimmy
russian hacker is a better answer imo
ahhhhhh okay, seems like it doesn't matter cause you end up with a total of 5 presses either way. What's the benefit to autumn?
you get flag up 9 seconds earlier
I see, looks like burn in 4:25, so it lines up better. thanks guys!
I don't have holy pally anyway but interesting!
Do sub rouges get execute dmg?
is there actually a diff between rotten and finality for m+? sims showing me both at the same
u need this one
whats the reason we would run first dance talent is it better with or without it
no
?
talent is very strong, so yes run it in m+ always
first dance ?
yes
yes
when do we have down tiem tho with constant chain pulls ?
vanish, or sit back a few seconds
even just a few resets in a key it will heavily outperform weapon master which is the other option to run
WM is da poop
can add a border to your dance WA
i thought we wanna vanish into a shadow strike on aoe so your sayign vanish wait 6 seconds on a aoe pull then dps ?
it's situational. you're likely not chainpulling the entire dungeon
the extra dance is big
so it's a worthwile use to sit back
what about on a big aoe pull when vanish is rdy
do i vanish wait 6 secs then dops again ?
or just stay out of combat as the tank is pulling
just trying to get an isea and situations when to wait and use it
ok but when i get vanish during a pull its ok to use it right away right
huh?
say im on a big pull and vanish is about to pop up in 3 seconds what do i do when vanish is rdy
what
you can do a vanish reset, if the tank is chaínpulling lets say 3mobs at 15% health into a new pack of 8
then what you would do is walk out from the pack press vanish when the tank walks towards new pack wait 6 seconds come back
send cds
big profit
i need more vodka for this
its only remotely a thing in a scenario like that
learn how to drop combat as a rogue is the tldr
ok so its ok to save vanish for situations like that i shouldnt just use it to keep dpsing right away
the extra strike is near useless
so might as well use it for that or as a defensive to dodge a mechanic
ok perfect ty is that how sub is getting huge burst on pulls ?
cause i dont burst that high
TFD has two buffs on your bar. one is the countdown til its up and another once it's up.
most times you will see like 60mil bursts is when its a brand new pack so he has TFD up and has an 18 stack prism ready
and on aoe we just spam black powder on aoe right ?
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).
on 4 or more targets you press BP over Evis
thats what i ment 4 or more spam BP
i can't read your mind
so 3 targets or less we jsur eviserate ?
skill issue
when you say spam BP i can only assuming youve got it bound to your foot pedal and you're playing double bass sub rogue
lol naw my bad
my scroll up is bp and my scroll down is evis
i dont have that trinket yet the prism thing
i wish i had it
is that how sub is getting such high overal in m+ cause thats trinket gives them huge burst ?
yes
im doing like 7mill but the dk im wish is like 8 mill or higher
well kinda, you can still good overall with just lily
with good routes you have a secondn on use that allows prism to stack to 18
with*
god I wish I could hit up the first pull in gambit with an 18 stacker
unless you're @short radish and can't hit two different trinket binds
gives you 66k mainstat at 18 stacks
my character at 717 ilvl
has 89k
in total
thats ehm
ALOT
does unbreakable stride work on any situation in M dimensius?
how much overal should i be doing at 709 ilvl
to many variables
without that trinket
cant say
does 7.2 mill seem decent ?
My foot hurts reading this
you're welcome
it could be worse, you could have black arrow bound to foot pedal
what ilvl
716.94
problem is i dont raid so i dont think ill ever get that damn tinket
no reason not to pug heroic at least
i try pugging its constant wiping
do it on reset day
cant wait for dimmy to die
2nd key of the day with no warr or sham buff
still topped dps in a key without both buffs
but felt poopy
but do you have monk buff to help your feral?
did you see the funny i did earlier
and arcane intellect, but that's useless
no!
someone asked me for a log review while i was mid raid
and i managed to sent a screenshot of me fighting p1 dimensiues
mid pull
lol
quickest alt tabber in the west
i was trying to help topenepneko but raid got in the way
i realized I struggle helping people that struggle with written instruction
log review turns into how do I explain the basics
the entry cost into this spec really is crazy for most people
and you look at some of the cringe shit to bypass bugs and its wtf
ie the macro discussion in research
makes me miss Sephuz
outlaw I think has a high entry cost too, but in a different way. just the speed of it. idk how we ended up here, but here we are.
do u guys still use black powder

we do prio dmg with everything else
sectech coup are prio
oh
evis and BP are so close it really doesn't matter. if evis makes you feel better about prio, go for it
I just odnt like going oom on bosses
D:
so I dont play assa in keys
and sub is super cool
nein is bp
i think people let feels get in the way for the actual difference evis/bp is, but that's just me
is it really that bad?
st in keys is relatively high and you're mostly doing st rotation in packs
strike, coup and sectech are the "prio"
youre not a funnel spec obv
but adding evis is whatever imo
and i think people think it's big
idk if that makes sense
Very
between our ST and M+ builds
toss blades on the prio and just go to town with ST roation + bp
tbf havoc funnel is actually disgusting
havoc is insane
You just need 1 heavy prio class and enough prio scraped together from the last two DPS to make sure high hp dies at same time as rest of pack ideally
but funnel isnt prio
well havoc kinda do prio dmg naturally its just their fucking glaive that does infinite funnel
so if you went fel scarred for example
it basically just does single target to do AoE
and does quite alot of it
seems like if you wanna play sub in keys you want 1 funnel spec in the key
arcane/havoc
then the dmg profile becomes healthy
they have a reverse funnel talent in fs like fatebound
its not amazing
Youre pretty much mashing powder at all times
but might be playing with bad arcanes
if that wasent a thing
Feel like we should never be close to arcane in prio in a funnel scenario
fel scarred would do rediculous AoE dmg
Shoutout uncapped felscarred in season 1
surge is still 2nd 3rd on my break down on AoE
I need to get my mitts on a netherprism, this is getting brutal
Make it 2
like imagine bro
and my DH is piss geared
can I step the knockback on fractilius with no downside
yes as long as you let it actually make u fly a tiny bit
then you are fine to step
ye
ignore them and let others play them
sub hitting tangles is int
so just send as shit comes up?
literally don't hit them 😮
play it like a normal patchwerk fight
ight
guys, need some help
I dont quite understand the cooldown arrangement for araz’s second rotation
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gqKbBD4njchzCFYk?fight=6&type=damage-done
this feels wrong
just remember the boss takes 33% more dmg from 50% onwards
you can try to save a dance for tangles if they are getting close to melee
(i found out yesterday)
but rogue is just bad at them in general
hope my rl doesnt kill me next night
idk tell ele/destro/sp to just annihilate them
ya i did notice it felt significantly better on the soaks i had cloak on
i coudl just sit on boss
but idk my sense of duty told me to swap

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.
time to fullswap to sub and pray it clicks
does supercharge with coup matter?
hey can someone help me out on a stat question
not really, you only care about super charging sectech
i forgot how to sim havent done it since legion or bfa
does this sound bad 20% crit 117% mastery 23% verse 2% haste
if id have to guess, the robot would tell you to get some crit
but def worth to sit down and learn how to sim again
there aint no breakpoints
its all relative
Was just thinking since the 2nd coup is 150% effectiveness then the 2 extra cp from supercharger would be worth more. Like in the opener right before your 2nd dance, sometimes you get lucky and proc another coup at the end of you first dance, would it be optimal to try fit in symbols > 2nd coup > cb/sectec > 2nd dance
There are probably sequences you can do yourself that give you supercharged coups but
still doesent come close to the DPE of sectech
The only important part is getting supercharger on sectec
is there an easy mod to sim
fair enough
and we started nexus king prog tonight. Fight feels fun, lets see how I feel in another 100+ pulls
Hi guys, was curious, what is better to Overcharge 1st,
2nd Coup de Grace or Secret Technique?
Whats stronger
Lets say I have Secret Technique Up, and my 1st Coup de Grace is ready to be used
Would I > Coup de Grace
- Symbols (+ SD if available)
- Then Secret Technique 1st? or Secret Technique
Lets say i was overcapping the CDR on secret Technique
Just wanna know who has the best raw damage
!prekey
You always supercharge sectec, and inside your cds you are sending it asap, and you want to get the cdr from coup on sectec so it should always be first
Just press sod
!prepull
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
20s before key start
So Secret Technique PRIO?
gOT IT
Thank u
i feel like the disoriented strikes cheese might only be a slight dps increase, but it also prevents bad rng that reduce your dmg by 50% in the opener
some pulls just are horrible when bad rng strikes
so i always try to do it when wipe is called
if u die do u lose the buff doe?
no
you have it after death

bro what is it with HoA that makes people struggle so bad
they did yes
i mean i know, but man it feels eaaasy
they nerfed the dmg intake quite alot and only having to do 2x gravity on each side is massive
p2 is probs the hardest part of the fight now
Every part of the fight used to be hard
P1 doesn't cause like, 60-100 wipes
Lol
Post nerf that is
we are 100 pulls in and we are in p3
we did have 1 night of pre nerf pulls
so it made p1 super consistent for us
after the nerfs
I just abandoned assassin and came here...hi
are they asleep?
Hence the sometimes
!wa
Fight gets infinitely easier next week with another gear reset and 3% as well
Probably is only a 150 pull fight now if ok
so uh how good are the raid finder version of the reshii shoes
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
about 40% as good as mythic
50% as good as heroic
66.67% as good as normal
ye just simmed it and 4/6 heroic boots are 10k dps higher in a dslice
It's probably as good as it sims
h'weird
I see a lot of people use shadowblades before dance and sod in logs why?
which logs
name them
wait no read it again, ye vet reshii and hero boots are the same and it's about 1% overall increase to get hero track
vet track is a 0.2% increase in st over regular hero track shoues
maybe they're using a macro?
how valuable is the boots
that 40% reshii stuff
i tried to sim, but was like 1% increase?
petpet the sub rogue
Any chance someone who's much better at sub could go threw a few of my worst fight and tell me how to do better? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/mhNfFRPWYrxj62ck?fight=5&type=damage-done&modal=fight-selection
How are you getting flurry this high? I'm having trouble getting the right proportion of that, does it just mean I'm missing the rotation? It tends to land at about 27% of my damage and all good logs are over 30-33% it seems
So I have Netherprism and Lilly. How do I play with those two since Lilly is1.5 min and is always up for windows?
If i go with coup + Shadow Tech stacks ready into CDs do i wanna dance -> Symbols -> Backstab -> 2x Coup into SecTec or 1x Coup into SecTech, Storm, Coup? Or play it different
Are you comparing priory to priory?

Lili with prism sounds like it feels terrible tho
it does
its not the best
Do you guys have perhaps cookie cutter advice for Sub in M+ ? i'm talking easy mistakes beginner does that gimp dps and such ? Weird question maybe but if you guys have some wisdom i'll take it
!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".
!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.
if you get like 80% of use out of your flag/blades just send it dont hold
especially dont hold if they do a small pull
you do big burst but its never worth holding
I would say 2 things apply in general:
-
Get good game knowledge about all mechanics so you know when something will comes that forces you out of melee to time your burst windows around those mechanics.
-
practice on dummies, or things like delves. Muscle memory is big
Yeah, I actually just did one. But also just across keys when I compare logs of a similar level I tend to be lower on flurry. The one I recently ran my flurry damage was like 2.7bn to his 3.8bn or so, maybe it's partly positioning?
The most common mistake is cooldown management, people don't use cooldowns when they are up or hold them for the perfect opportunity.
In general, its many times better to use cooldowns than to wait on them.
But this high level overview helps for both m+ and raid
DO you guys take the time to setup ruptures before blasting with cd ? or if you have cd is it better to just put the one rutpure on your target and go ham ?
I usually rupture with tricks up whole tank is gathering
a few rupture casts don't hurt
especially if you go in a big pull with mobs that don't blow up in a few secs
I play with a warrior so it takes him ages to gather, in fact I often pull certain packs for him haha. So those moments are good to rupture before all is gathered and u can begin
When playing CB in M+ , do you guys try to do the same opener as raid and send it with the second Sec tech or is it really pull dependant and go ham on 1st sec tech ?
When we do raid and i use my burst im only second, below ele feom guild
But when in off cd he is still going strong
How to catch up
if you're talking about pure single target it's expected to fall behind
sub in sustained st is kinda dookie
Do this channel do log review ?
type !log and if someone has time he will take a look
!log
know how to remove this
why did blizz take away our increased melee range and give it to ret pallys
should i use a 710 lily with netherprism over a 723 antenna for mythic nexus king?

How good is double on use ACTUALLY compared to prism/antenna? specifically in keys but both are valuable contributions

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
backstab for danse macabre is a 1% optimization?
roughly yes
most optimizations are in the range of ~1-1.5%, sometimes less
tho we have a lot of small optimizations, so it adds up
haha thx
Not sure if my question is simple enough to get answered. I rerolled sub last monday. I was generally doing fine on first 6 bosses, and on king i just couldnt do shit.
I compared my casts to the rank 1 guy and literally same sequence on platform intermission yield him 300m more damage
I did a log review and ill be waiting then
Dont want to suck that bad for dimensius 
did you have the same gear
trinkets/etc?
because if you did "evetything the same"
it could just come down to him using double on use trinkets
while you used only prism
for example
I do have forge + prism
ah fair
2 ilvl lower cuz late char
Maybe im coping about same cast sequence but thats why i need help i guess
could be down to rng then
what logs are good for is to see how people rotate cooldowns
idk how you can copy someones rotation because many things are reactional things
like coup procs ^^
did you compare titan damage? add dmg varies a lot
I mean ive had platforms with 800m+ but on kill it was like 550 ish
No i didnt actually smart
But i lacked on amp as well, missing 200-300m 
for prog if youre >300m on titan youre doing ok id say
I mean i jumped in very late
Yeah the amp is significant
Did 90% of prog as other char
If you can pull 800m in amp you’re gaming but there’s a lot of variance with coup procs etc
My titan was 278m
there was a log of one rogue doing 900m a couple weeks ago and i still think it had to be bugged xd
the crit one
from fractilus?
he got either a lot of luck
or there was some shananigans with the log
IDk i posted in log review if anyone wants to help, i did fine first 3 bosses, i need to study araz a lot so lets ignore that, id do like a solid 95+ on soul hunters if i didnt die, my bad 100%, and fract we had a 4:30 kill so i missed 18 prism window
nah 900m in nexus king amp
oh wow
he was 707 or smth so i just dont see it
insane luck?
was private log so i cant check
but thats still 100-150m above everything i had on prog xd
think going for logs becomes more and more difficult
with just how much of logging is padding or luck
I mean i dont even entirelt care about prog logs but
you can prestack before cds
Doing 5,2m on king is below expectations
assuming you want to go for the rank 1 log
lol
could someone look at my logs to see what i did wrong on the fourth boss on mythic?
Use !log
I also generally have no clue how people fit 2 st in one sd on pull
I swear i never had enough cdr for it
Bl maybe ?
On king
So Nope
Well my biggest difficulty is that im swapping from a character that ive pretty much mastwred all 3 specs and could consistently farm 99s any difficulty
So its hard dropping the bar to gray logs

Especially when i dont understand what am i doing wrong
what was your previous class ?
thats proc dependent
you can disorient pre pull to help
!prepull
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
Hunter
I dont really mind going melee
I did survival, while its not fully melee it was a start
Im a gm of wr100-150 guild and since we are only polish, its like 7 gazilion times easier to recruit a hunter and our guild never has rogue
So i want to commit and fully main it
fuu, what are the optimizations that we have? Is there a l ist s omewhere?
speaking of logs, can someone tell me how to live log this season? I'm too lazy to manually split and upload the logs and seeing my logs change seconds after a kill i assume live logging is possible. anyway, WL's live log feature from the companion app doesn't work for me for whatever reason
I just use the standalone app and the live log works just fine
I think sub Rogue is really Hard to Master im having a really hard time as well.
Never was that Hard for me to Play a Class on a Good Level
Don’t Stress yourself out Just Play and practice
takes some time, playing m+ helps a lot with learning any class. if youre consistently doing 280m on titan youre not griefing. youll be fine
!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.
it's the warcraft log companion app in combination either overwolf right? i used that too in s2 and i had no issues but i noticed it's not working for me so i hopped onto their discord and asked and they made it seem like it's not even supposed to work like that. but i got confused with what they actually mean so i abandoned the conversation
then there are a lot of small ones
like using backstab in dance once dufing premeditation
refresh rupture early enough to not cast during flag
I'm not sure, I never used warcraft log companion app
I despise overwolf software so I avoid it if possible
which one are you using?
holding coup de grace if you proc it close to flagellation
The uploader
yeah, I've been doing that, how close is enough to hold?
like, at 30 seconds should I send?
that was the conversation and i'm too stupid to understand it
at max like 20 sec
So first you need to activate the advanced logging in the network tab on the game's settings
what is the question you ask
Once you do that, you do /combatlog
And then you press the "Go" button on the second image
That should be enough to live log
if you want to combat log for yourself:
- go into network settings and activate advanced logging
- Use an addon to activate logging or type /combatlog to start logging
- Use the wcl uploader on your combat log to upload to the website
got it, what if I'm energy starved around 30 seconds? should I stop pressing buttons?
yo fuu whats the condition for the sim to send a dance after the first 2 in the opener? seems pretty natural to send the 3rd as soon as sectec comes off cd but just curious if the sim waits for coup stacks or somethign
i don't understand the question
Spam backstab angle to get shadowcraft for cds
sim does not wait for coup stacks, but secret cooldown is considered
this is the top level overview of cooldown management for sub
ofc how you do it on a "per boss" basis will differ
Shuriken tornado inside our outside of shjadow dance?
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
and this website
is rly good to look how top logs handle their cooldowns
never. its a dog shit talent thats overrated
oh rly?
but probably outside dance to build rupture stacks
yeah
just dont play it man
your life will be so much easier without it
you would typically use it as a filler or on higher target counts during symbols
bro
yeah thanks fuu, i was more trying to see if its better for roll the flawless stacks from the opener into the 3rd dance or wait for coup, assuming no downtime or adds. ty beast ❤️
but it might be better to use it instead of shuriken storm between coup procs
i just googled it thats literlaly the dude i copied the talents from thats funny
im not good at sub, should i just not play it
i was trying to shuriken tornado and spread ruptures before going into my go buttons
but it delayerd my dam so much and i was holding onto cds
for seconds i shouldnt in big pakcs
weird that's always how i did it so far and i definitely had 2 or 3 bosses this season where i had a higher dps than previously and nothing was uploaded
all the logs were saved on my pc and pretty much ready to split snd upload manually but yeah, i'm lazy
guess it's some technical fuckery then
Tornado is nice dude why flaem:c
this is the spec i landed on for m+ is this good or do i wan tto go into replicating shadows?
isn't that just the ST build
which is fine if u want
I prefer exhilarating execution over ephemeral bond
U swap for finality once u have enough crit no
If you want to
I honestly find it weirder to play with rotten
Half the time I want to apply fw I'm sitting on UB stacks I wanna use to build to a new coup
The storming in dance rule doesnt change with rotten
You still dont want to do it (unless its with coup ready)
Guys, should I do : SD, Symbols, Backstab or Symbols, SD, Backstab
Is kinda all at the same time but on theory what should I do ? 🙂
Literally doesnt matter
Ok ty
wait so even with TFD and rotten you dont want to dance + symbols +ss to apply FW?
that sounds wack
my feelycraft 
You can do symbols > storm > dance
Play tornado, it auto applies 😉
begone satan, i reject thee
tornado 😡
But yeah nado good
do we shuriken storm before our dance to apply weakness in aoe?
yeah if I have coup this feels nice
but the times where I don't going into a pull it feels a bit jank
are we supposed to backstab after dance and sod even at full combo point ?
no
Love you eleem

I don't get why people play rotten and then do dance > symbol > backstab
gives guaranteed fw with the backstab
I took a log to chinese logs, they do dance > symbol > shuriken, which is much more logical as it crits it gives fw in aoe
yes but EU ppl do it even in AOE
from most of the log I checked
oke
I don't get it, it means the 6% bonus from the backstab with dance macabre compensate FW on everyone for 10 seconds ?
backstab uses unseen blade yes, but shuriken doesn't waste a proc either, you can always use unseen on the next builder with a shadowstrike
If you have coup up thats fine yes to not waste a stack
But if you dont you want to proc coup asap
ye either coup up or unseen in cd and no high probability of thousand cuts proc
Most of your finishers in dance are gonna be coup+sectech anyway
So fw doesnt even do that much
But again, you can storm before dance
If you really want to make sure you have fw up on all targets
You just want dances to use globals that actually do damage
it depends, during the first dance you can use a lot of bp, this is a log from a chinese guy he always does this xd
And shuriken storm does fuckall damage

ye something good would be to symbol > shuriken > dance -> normal way
But for your big burst you should have coup setup, or nearly setup anyway
to be fair, you can skill into cdr on shroud
So you wouldnt need to
ye aoe blind is ignored because he also ignored boomkins aoe stop which has literally half the cooldown
fair

They choppin rog so well out there
Casual back on DK 
the problem is more that rogues utility was in survivability
fuu would u mind reviewing my loomi log
did you !log?
think kush too
How much overall should the 4 set do in a key ?
well i puzgged first 3 mythic yesterday
sub probably starts to fall off now
when stuff survives
and our initial burst does not sustain long enough
Everyone is going dk
DK is giga broken ig
But frost is as boring as it good is
i mean dk is:
- Unkillable
- brings grip
- does ungodly amount of damage
- easy to play
90s cds but
Frost is so boring
dk grip is so nice man
They should give Warrior grip like they did in SOD 😄
!log
Yeah but i playerd warrior since i started to play wow
and the gameplay loop is the same since idk how long
Frost dk boss damage is just ridiculous in m+ tbh
Can probably play fdk and sub in the same comp in a few dungs
Yeah im wondering that it didnt get nerfed
because it feels very off for me
but im not the one to judge ig
Not broken in raid so no nerfs
but it felt absurd even with no gear and 690 ilvl i did like 20m burst or smth
so many frost abusers but theres like 1 good frost every 10 keys
Not broken in raid? 
Sorry brotherimus, not an outlier in statistics on wcl 
See sub is really bad in raid, we must get buffs 

Nerf bp buff evis
all raid rogues needs a buff
many people are saying this
i mean its essentially every single target boss, not only fractilus
Anyways they will probably look at the chart and buff mage and hunter anyways
Aug hidden op
and soul hounters too probably
moment, let me check
ye
we essentially get carried by damage amps and add fights
buff assa AOE and sub AOE
sub should be better here
because of how front loaded we are, so downtime should not matter much
but the fight just isn't well deisgned in general
Yeah its hectic
but i'll still play sub, easier to target swap/burst down the higher health boss
you also kinda see what some others complain about
You hold a full prism burst for too much on soul hunters, that really tanks dps
that simualtions don't matter
Outlaw is fkin blasting on soulhunters though
if you limit your fights to the single target ones
you see a very similar picture to sims tho
Best I can do is 12.5% buff to shadowed finisher on black powder only
K sounds good
How can I add multiple soleah buffs into sim?
don't think it's possible to have multiple?
i seem to remember in SL that 2 ppl couldn't use so'leah on same target
It also doesnt matter, the ally buff is miniscule and irrelevant
Well, it changes which gem im using in cloak, my stats are really close
The only thing the sim has option for is for what stats you get while wearing it
Its not gonna meaningfully change anything no
you're digging for margin of error dps gains
yeah
Well, I'm dumb. No one has vers as main stat, so I'm not getting it reliably anyways
Sadge time to call it
Very unlucky to have it as my passive trinket (and it's mythic). Only mythic antenna is upgrade :(
time to become a pet battle champion
Hey i'm new to roguesub and wanna improve can someone tell me why i'm bad ? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rGACdwk3HgRthp24?fight=5&type=damage-done
I had another doubt,
Is it worth to send the 3rd dance after CDs to keep the good flawless form stack, or is it better to rebuild a coup before sending the next dance ?
you're using cb on your first sectec in blades, should be on the 2nd one
hey guys, im on 25% versa 104% mastery should i pot mastery or versa on m+ ?
104% mastery 🤨

Is that all i do wrong ?
your firsg gcd after flags seems to be a builder instead of a finisher
i didnt check how many gcds you get in dance but you could check that too
Yeah true make that mistake a lot now that u point it out
Quick question if i have a coup de grace proc like 5 sec before my burst would it be worth it to keep it or should i spend it anyway

Yeah I know haste=bad, I wanted to check vers/mastery. Thank you :)
you need to paste it in advanced sim below your /simc
!wa
(also make sure you have the trinket in slot 1)
If sectech is ready (or has less than 1 finisher left of cdr) you can send your third dance ye

Somebody needs to have pulled the mobs before you shadowstrike in
It takes a millisecond or two for the game to transfer the threat so If the mobs havent been touched theyll just whack you once before the threat is transfered
You can open with shuriken storm on them (as its slightly longer range than melee)



like paladins
