we have very few macros

upper girder
#

is there anyone who knows a lot about how warcraftlogs works?

lilac stag
#

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

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

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!

so moonkin buff was that good?

anyone I could dm and ask questions regarding warcraftlogs and my logs?

Use !log

or did you have a wcl question

upper girder

a bit of both

Use log

Boss damage on nexus is gonna favor specs that are just zugging boss

And not helping much on platform

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:

hidden shadow
#

thx guys

upper girder
#

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

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

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

#

Is there an easy way to track when to storm instead of SS or is it just always in the opener after first coup?

upper girder
#

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

hoary lotus
#

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

sullen hare
# upper girder it says stop using finishers

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
upper girder
#

so I go into dance before using flag and shadowblades?

sullen hare
#

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

see me as the most dumb kid in the class, I have no idea wtf Im doing

Im not sure I have my rotation down at all

how do i sim prism so it has a certain amount of stacks immediately?

wicked joltBOT
tepid trellis
#

you would need a custom override

#

would probably have to go to the simc discord for help with that

sullen hare
# cobalt palm Do you just send dance at ~10 seconds or symbols with it?

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

Yeah it was a fat pull i used it on

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

can someone explain me how Shadow Blades deals so much dmg over SecTec and Evis ?

vagrant fulcrum
unkempt drum
#

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

sand flax
unkempt drum
# sand flax what do you mean

Because Shadow Blades adds shadow damage to other skills your Details might be categorizing that additional damage under SB

what's the gain to get autumn on nexus king

brave harbor
#

Okay I got my answer thanks

lilac stag
#

CDs up faster

brave harbor
#

so best thing to do is having 2 different macros for blades right?

lilac stag
#

Huh?

brave harbor
#

for both use trinkets

warm pond
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

lilac stag
#

you can do that sure

#

Or just have the trinkets bound separately

covert meteor
#

If the trinkets are both 2 mins, add the first one you want to use first in order

lilac stag
#

people are macro happy. Sub isn’t a macro spec

lilac stag
covert meteor
#

If the trinket is lily + a 2min trinket, you can either add liky go blades or press both separately

brave harbor
#

yeah that is actually smart thing to do but on pull with bl I see only slide show

lilac stag
#

Raid or keys?

brave harbor
#

you get flag up 9 seconds earlier

whats the reason we would run first dance talent is it better with or without it

?

tepid trellis
#

talent is very strong, so yes run it in m+ always

regal rose
#

first dance ?

tepid trellis
#

yes

lilac stag
#

yes

regal rose
#

when do we have down tiem tho with constant chain pulls ?

lilac stag
#

vanish, or sit back a few seconds

tepid trellis
#

even just a few resets in a key it will heavily outperform weapon master which is the other option to run

lilac stag
#

WM is da poop

regal rose
#

is there a weakaura for it

#

so i kno im doing ir right

lilac stag
#

can add a border to your dance WA

regal rose
#

i thought we wanna vanish into a shadow strike on aoe so your sayign vanish wait 6 seconds on a aoe pull then dps ?

lilac stag
#

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

regal rose
#

what about on a big aoe pull when vanish is rdy

#

do i vanish wait 6 secs then dops again ?

lilac stag
#

or just stay out of combat as the tank is pulling

regal rose
#

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

lilac stag
#

huh?

regal rose
#

say im on a big pull and vanish is about to pop up in 3 seconds what do i do when vanish is rdy

lilac stag
#

what

tepid trellis
#

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

lilac stag
#

i need more vodka for this

tepid trellis
#

its only remotely a thing in a scenario like that

lilac stag
#

learn how to drop combat as a rogue is the tldr

regal rose
#

ok so its ok to save vanish for situations like that i shouldnt just use it to keep dpsing right away

tepid trellis
#

vanish does fuck all

#

for dmg on sub

lilac stag
#

the extra strike is near useless

tepid trellis
#

so might as well use it for that or as a defensive to dodge a mechanic

regal rose
#

ok perfect ty is that how sub is getting huge burst on pulls ?

#

cause i dont burst that high

tepid trellis
#

nope

#

that just prism trinket being stupid

lilac stag
#

TFD has two buffs on your bar. one is the countdown til its up and another once it's up.

tepid trellis
#

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 ?

on 4 or more targets you press BP over Evis

thats what i ment 4 or more spam BP

lilac stag
#

no

#

coup and sectech are prio over bp

regal rose

when coup de grace isnt up we spam it

#

well ya

lilac stag
#

i can't read your mind

regal rose

so 3 targets or less we jsur eviserate ?

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

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

without that trinket

cant say

does 7.2 mill seem decent ?

it could be worse, you could have black arrow bound to foot pedal

if u say its not much dif

so

we're anti funnel these days and prio aint great

wtb combo

warm marlin

st in keys is relatively high and you're mostly doing st rotation in packs

lilac stag

strike, coup and sectech are the "prio"

warm marlin

youre not a funnel spec obv

lilac stag
#

but adding evis is whatever imo

#

and i think people think it's big

#

idk if that makes sense

tepid trellis

sub is fine in terms of prio

#

but so are most other classes

yeah our boss damage is kinda... good right?

#

because of how little we give up

Very

short radish

between our ST and M+ builds

and then you have something like arcane and assa funnel

or havoc

lilac stag
#

toss blades on the prio and just go to town with ST roation + bp

tepid trellis
#

tbf havoc funnel is actually disgusting

lilac stag
#

havoc is insane

strong ingot
#

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

lilac stag
#

but funnel isnt prio

tepid trellis
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

plush roost
#

Idk sub feels like the AoE pad niche for a comp

#

Prio is there but its not like real

warm marlin
#

its not amazing

tribal blade
#

i can sometimes rival arcane mages in prio

#

if i'm full evising with cds

plush roost
#

Youre pretty much mashing powder at all times

but might be playing with bad arcanes

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.

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.

# tepid trellis not really, you only care about super charging sectech

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

lucid jackal
#

There are probably sequences you can do yourself that give you supercharged coups but

still doesent come close to the DPE of sectech

lucid jackal
#

The situations are niche, hard to articulate

#

They are probably better but

and since you cant gurantee both

#

you go for sectech

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

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.

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

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".

short radish
#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
short radish
#

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

narrow shadow
#

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

unkempt drum
# nova cairn Are you comparing priory to priory?

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?

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 ?

but usually yes

#

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

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.

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.

fossil forge
#

U swap for finality once u have enough crit no

hazy breach
#

If you want to

plucky parrot
#

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

hazy breach
#

The storming in dance rule doesnt change with rotten

#

You still dont want to do it (unless its with coup ready)

cursive island
#

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 ? 🙂

cursive island
#

Ok ty

short radish
#

that sounds wack

#

my feelycraft Sadge

hazy breach
#

You can do symbols > storm > dance

topaz egret
#

Play tornado, it auto applies 😉

hazy breach
#

But most of the time you'll have coup anyway

#

So you can sectech > storm > coup

short radish
native hawk
#

tornado 😡

hazy breach
#

But yeah nado good

oblique burrow
#

do we shuriken storm before our dance to apply weakness in aoe?

plucky parrot
#

but the times where I don't going into a pull it feels a bit jank

fringe mauve
#

are we supposed to backstab after dance and sod even at full combo point ?

hazy breach
#

no

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.

gives guaranteed fw with the backstab

scarlet oyster
#

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

scarlet oyster
#

from most of the log I checked

hazy breach
#

Scroll up a bit

#

In this chat

scarlet oyster
#

oke

scarlet oyster
hazy breach
#

Backstab gives unseen blade

#

IE your hero talent and your tier set

scarlet oyster
#

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

hazy breach
#

If you have coup up thats fine yes to not waste a stack

#

But if you dont you want to proc coup asap

scarlet oyster
hazy breach
#

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

scarlet oyster
hazy breach
#

And shuriken storm does fuckall damage

scarlet oyster
hazy breach
#

But for your big burst you should have coup setup, or nearly setup anyway

vale pine
hazy breach
#

So you wouldnt need to

vale pine
#

also poisons are completely ignored

#

and aoe blind

hazy breach
#

ye aoe blind is ignored because he also ignored boomkins aoe stop which has literally half the cooldown

vale pine

i think the anti parry for raid group

They choppin rog so well out there

hazy breach

Casual back on DK antennaglorp

vale pine
#

the problem is more that rogues utility was in survivability

queen plinth
#

fuu would u mind reviewing my loomi log

vale pine
#

did you !log?

vale pine
tender patrol
#

How much overall should the 4 set do in a key ?

queen plinth
#

well i puzgged first 3 mythic yesterday

vale pine
#

sub probably starts to fall off now

#

when stuff survives

#

and our initial burst does not sustain long enough

vestal escarp
#

Everyone is going dk

tender patrol
#

DK is giga broken ig

tender patrol
#

But frost is as boring as it good is

vale pine
#

i mean dk is:

  • Unkillable
  • brings grip
  • does ungodly amount of damage
  • easy to play
vestal escarp
#

90s cds but

tender patrol
#

Frost is so boring

karmic harbor
#

dk grip is so nice man

tender patrol
#

They should give Warrior grip like they did in SOD 😄

vale pine
#

ironically

#

warrior might be quite strong now

#

after the bugfixes/chanegs

queen plinth
#

!log

tender patrol
#

Yeah but i playerd warrior since i started to play wow

#

and the gameplay loop is the same since idk how long

topaz egret
#

Frost dk boss damage is just ridiculous in m+ tbh

#

Can probably play fdk and sub in the same comp in a few dungs

tender patrol
#

Yeah im wondering that it didnt get nerfed

#

because it feels very off for me

#

but im not the one to judge ig

vestal escarp
#

Not broken in raid so no nerfs

tender patrol
#

but it felt absurd even with no gear and 690 ilvl i did like 20m burst or smth

fossil forge
#

so many frost abusers but theres like 1 good frost every 10 keys

topaz egret
#

Not broken in raid? SUSSY

This warrants at least a 8% evis buff

oblique burrow
#

all raid rogues needs a buff

karmic harbor
oblique burrow
#

we need to be top 1/2/3

#

never less

vale pine
fossil forge
#

Anyways they will probably look at the chart and buff mage and hunter anyways

#

Aug hidden op

vale pine
#

and soul hounters too probably

#

moment, let me check

#

we essentially get carried by damage amps and add fights

oblique burrow
vale pine
#

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

oblique burrow
#

Yeah its hectic

#

but i'll still play sub, easier to target swap/burst down the higher health boss

vale pine
#

you also kinda see what some others complain about

vestal escarp
#

You hold a full prism burst for too much on soul hunters, that really tanks dps

vale pine
#

that simualtions don't matter

fossil forge
#

Outlaw is fkin blasting on soulhunters though

vale pine
#

if you limit your fights to the single target ones

#

you see a very similar picture to sims tho

steep raven
#

How can I add multiple soleah buffs into sim?

wet echo
#

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

hazy breach
#

It also doesnt matter, the ally buff is miniscule and irrelevant

steep raven
#

Well, it changes which gem im using in cloak, my stats are really close

hazy breach
#

The only thing the sim has option for is for what stats you get while wearing it

#

Its not gonna meaningfully change anything no

wet echo
#

you're digging for margin of error dps gains

tight monolith
#

yeah

steep raven
#

Well, I'm dumb. No one has vers as main stat, so I'm not getting it reliably anyways

clever delta
#

Sadge time to call it

steep raven

Very unlucky to have it as my passive trinket (and it's mythic). Only mythic antenna is upgrade :(

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

btu as eleem mentioned, everything not haste is good

barren sandal

And also if i proc one outise of any burst should the second one be spent with any cp

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.

you need to paste it in advanced sim below your /simc

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

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)
