Then you get to week 5-6 of the tier. 
may not even be on rogue for salad bar or dimey
Our monk getting married so warrior tank going monk, back to rent-a-warrior
the fact that other boots drop from raid when you only put the soul hunters boots on that slot is criminal
Every armor type except leather has boe boots too
That’s the bigger criminal bullshit
so crazy
it's so funny, i won 714 non-soul hunter boots from raid and every single person only needed them for free upgrades
I have lfr interlopers on Woyer.
Mythic: 128k upgrade
Heroic: 79k upgrade
Basic Bitch Mythic Boots: 48k
so i could send my soul hunter boots to 710
48k from lfr to 723 is criminal
gearing is weird this tier
cloak is dead slot
boots are basically dead slot because you can only equip 1 pair
and i messed up last week and crafted 720 belt without realizing i could buy 714 boe
my sim let me replace the disc belt at 704 belt with a socket
or it was equal
and i figured fuck using the belt with rng
I’d like to replace it on warrior to get nitro boost back
haha true
mine never saw the light of day
huge stam gains
nothing a 200% overkill cant ruin
belt is a slight gain with 6/6 myth nerub signet ring for me
me likey big stam 😉
fury warrs and their ridiculous hp
it's actually such a big advantage having an enormous health pool
that's what goes through my head every time my guildies rip on me for having cheat
Does anyone know if when we are in TFD and if I SecTech when I have like 1 or 0.5S of SD left, does the 2nd tick of SecTech use the danse macabre stacks and dmg modifiers of when I pressed the button or my current state?
1st opener of raid been trying to sectech in TFD and have seen some crazy numbers
but im not sure if its just lucky crits or something
mine always bully me for my hp
it looks so sad between hunters warris dhs
The damage gets calculated dynamically. The first clone hits at 1.0, the second at 1.2 or 1.3 seconds. If your first dance is still active then, the DM stacks apply. If they hit during your follow-up dance, the new DM stacks apply.
The important part is getting dance back up immediately
So is it only worth it to send CB+SecTech in TFD if I have >1.2sec of dance remaining?
yeah im more just worried about the sectech ticking when I don't even have SD up
but that would be like pretty unlikely timing probably
hit dance+bs macro and youre good

If we are just hitting p3 now a couple times after under 100 pulls did you guys kill pretty soon after? On Dim that is?
are people starting to play thistle tea+tornado over cb and rotten?
first logged kill on plexus as sin bc I was fucking around and didn't expect us to kill, rip
how are you guys usually cycling forge/prism in keys on cds? something like Forge>no trinket>prism? or holding slightly depending on the situation and going Forge>forge>prism?
im doing forge, prism (9 or 10 stacks usually at that point), forge and so on... cuz just the first prism is low stacks
unless u die
gotcha running antenna/prism rn and usually find myself holding till 16-18 stacks for bigger packs

!prism
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.

i have 1 spark and im not sure what i should craft next. anyone smarter that can help me out?
https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Ryoden
top gear it
Sim it
Probably gonna be either belt or maybe a ring or summin, depending if you want more vers or mastery or summin
or maybe even Crit, since you're kinda gigalow on it
will sim then, just asked in case of anything obvious im missing. thx
trust the robot, not humans

What’s the coup wa helper do?
Shows a grey gcd bar when you cast coup with a tick for the final hit, since any hit of coup can proc the delayed Shadowcraft refund. Gives you a bit more leeway in spellqueing your next gcd because you know coup can’t refund anymore
So if we get 7sht stacks anytime the greybar is active up till the line, it means we refund?
yes
I modified it a bit to just be a bar to the tick line, and if I haven’t refunded by then I queue next builder, but it’s the same idea
Instead of guessing if the late refund happens you know it won’t by a certain point
Can you make a WA that lets you vantus after a faction change (im new to the game and learned something this week)
Xd
nop get owned bozo
Big bozo
did you share this or is it secret
That has the changes you made as well?
A secret technique almost.
So it’s delayed and buggy?
no sorry if you want that just remove the tick and change the 1.2s timer in conditions to 0.9
technically it’s like 0.9-0.95 from looking at my logs but
Can change it to 0.95 to be safe. I suspect it might be ping related in some way but not sure
it is impossible to cast eviscerate if we have coup overlayed right? We can only do it by using bp but in singler target it is not worth it.
Just trying to check if maybe I could hold onto coup in ST to cast it with SD
What's the coup WA?
coup replaces evis until you cast it
Well technically, it is an evis just a much stronger one.
Oh wait this is a txt file and not a WA? sorry noob tech guy here
it’s the text you import into wa with the import button
https://raider.io/characters/eu/draenor/Kjellkåre
just wondering what should I craft? Should I craft a ring or offhand?

Rarely cook weak auras myself. Anyone have a good couple of weak auras for Netherprism and Araz ritual forge trinkets
there are on wago
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.
!stats
saw a nice netherprism one, but not a ritual forge that matches at all. Guess I'll try to copy netherprism one and modify it to ritual forge
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility >= Critical Strike >>> Haste

whats so special you want to track on araz trinket?
has no stacks, just press and play
!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.
Idk if anyone had thought of a weak aura that helps not mislicking which on use to use. The netherprism one shines above 15 stacks, so I guess that will do

Anyone know what the like adjusted expected recahge time for dance is when you think about the CD refunds? Its 60 seconds base, but like 30 seconds effective?
depends on what you are doing while waiting for it
you can farm a dance back rather quickly in dance itself, maybe 20 seconds. If you’re just backstabbing waiting it’ll be more like 45
makes sense
!wa
how many gcds during dance? imrpoved gets to 10 seconds so 8-9 ish and in standard one 6-7 ?
8 gcd in 8 sec dance
12 in tfd 8 in regular
first dance is 12 secs normal dance 8
send it
oh well depends on what you want to do
araz can be whatever unless you really want to do some things
i dont have araz trinket yet
and prism i wanna send every 2nd Shadowblades for big burst
yea i mean if you have like 11 million 300k is whatever
so araz can compensate in between
but if you have 350 i would not
i have 3.5m atm
ah then it is whatever
Bro, it's your money, do what you want with
ye ik dont care about gold but if its worth to have araz i guess
he maybe means if it is worth well you wont really replace it
unless you get mythic antenna or pacemaker
or crystal in vault
crystal i had but it simmed worse
is there a !command with all the available commands ?
nop
or maybe ! help does
not sure
vendor for buying is delayed
he wont be there on turbo release
sing me up @keen dome
Hell yeah
yes for sure
I dunno when I'm gonna do it but it's gonna happen this season
I think it would be incredibly funny
All 26 sub rogues in the region in one raid group
if we have 26 in total

Just imagine the comedy of us all hitting our burst on pull. And then there being like, a solid 1:30 there nothing happens.
But I think stuff will die comically fast

I’m sure the collector intermission on araz will go excellently
!wa
That's why we have to kill him before intermission 
I guess monk healer and a DH tank would be the best combo alongside warrior and shaman
Warrior for Shout. DH tank for their debuff. Monk for theirs and monks are cool. Shaman for Skyfury and I guess Heroism
Druid healer or tank better than dh
can I be a part of this c:

Who need vault or raid drops when you can just quest? Got the champion one first week the same way 🎲 That's my luck for the year spent.
Instant and mind/atrophic depending on key level. I think you can swap off mind at 14+ or so but might be wrong
M+: Instant + Mind/Atro
Raid: Instant + Atro
Delve: Instant + Mind
ty good sir
i like instant + crippling for the 2 dungeons with run away mobs
ie murloc area in gambit and up to first boss in halls
then swap back to atrophic
i was losing my mind reading this until i realized i'm the one in the wrong channel
bonk!
I'm imagining you cracking your knuckles, about to lay it on me
At least there's a delete function there so save us from those moments when they happen
To be fair, being tired after work doesn't help
Oh, Druid tank is a great shout
And then we'd have a CR for when I fuck up and die
okay so i know the opener is supposed to be the same everytime, flag into rupture but what if your target is already ruptured and you have full combo points before sending flag
just you know you over ruptured and not sending rotation is gonna grief more than trying to find a new rupture target
Just evisc. It doesn’t have to be rupture unless you need to refresh
ye i figured just making sure
Unless you have coup
kinda got it right today
Can flag BP in aoe or with coup up or just rip flag dance symbol sectec
The robot just rips flag into sectec iirc

so close 
Is it worth pooling for thistle tea before shadow dance?
you try to not autoproc tea
don't delay cds because of tea
hey guys, question about the rotation, for the m+ spec that uses first dance. So in the opener, im backstabbing immediately after activating shadow dance and symbols, then i hit shadow blades and my first secret technique. should i be backstabbing after every activation of shadow dance and symbols, even though it overcaps my combo points?
Your first generator in dance should be backstab
If you dont need to generate combo points, you dont press it
But your first generator should be backstab
Real men shuriken toss into shiv
(For legal reasons this is a joke)
yeah i get that. idk unless im misinterpreting the opener, it seems like were to backstab after our first dance and before our first secret technique to get a stack of danse macabre right, even though it overcaps CP?
No
If you dont need to generate combo points, you dont press a generator
You dont backstab at full CP
Why would it over cap cp? 0cp strike > flag > 7cp rupture > 0cp backstab
^
If youre starting your opener without flag and its just tfd (such as between pulls in m+) you can immediatly sectec as your first global in dance or spread rupture and then dance
Whatever makes the most situational sense.
But first generator in dance is backstab. So you can go 7cp > dance >sectec > 0cp backstab
well whenever i press shadow dance i get full combo points. on icy veins, it straight up says to backstab right after using shadow dance and shadow blades in the opener.
You dont
Youre sure youre not forgetting to rupture?
Shadow dance doesnt give u full combo points
Show a log or smthn cause that is not a thing that occurs
Unless youre doing symbols before dance with 7+ shadowcraft stacks
But i doubt thats whats happening since usually that requires some preramp
hmm i think my issue is that i erroneously macroed shadow dance and backstab together lol. meant to get rid of that macro but mistakenly kept it when swapping between st and aoe specs, sorry for the confusion
Thatll do it, classic haha
You often proc shadow techniques along with premed overcapping too
Altho it's not supposed to happen it does a lot in my logs
You cant proc shadowcraft refund with premed up, its a bug
yeah but I do get it a ton
right on. thanks for the help guys, my opener/rotation seems to be lining up correctly now. silly me
U crafted an int dagger bruv
omg
oh nooooo
omg
happens quite often you are not alone
oh no
i was like i feel like im doing my rotation properly
but my dps was so sub par
kms LOL
There’s a int dagger from the arathi you can pair it with which will also knock you out of stealth
If you really want to go all in
i think ill go back to agility
don't mind if i do.
how do i turn it into acorrect dagger
or agility
i mean
you cant
You don’t
you need to make a new one
are u srs
RIP spark lol
You picked the int dagger
stabber
the one with agility
I like the str dagger
ffs man
Takes 2 hands
they should add a str dagger as a joke
at the end of the day it's my fault but could they not make it slightly more obvious lol
like what rogue is crafting an int dagger
Ya lol
You
thats true
Unfortunately WoW still requires reading
its a caster wep
Jdotb is the master of crafting the wrong weapon
Have you run you warrior on any of the mythic fights, of just running rogue when you were reclearing.
we did up to nexus king this week on alts
We’re losing our shout possibly, may end up progging last two on warrior.
OOp
Fury is chill tho
rb ramp exe
30% buff to arms tho fr
This version of fury is very chill
yA
Don’t feel like I’m going nuts with apm
The nice thing about melee on dimensius is that you don't do anything 
U just hit the boss the entire time
bruh guy soulhunters as melee
actually the worst shit
me when the tank dh just stands in mid casting
Reflect looks very good on nexus king
away fromcthe other two
tbh reflect is a very strong magic cd
its just not ams busted
Most bosses* 
Ranged yapping about clearing space on soulhunter while i just hit boss
Ranged and melee play a different game on most fights but yeah
But yeah so much of this tier was just hit the boss afk 
Its just casters were better
we got through first intermission in first hour of prog. Seems like it looks way more chaotic than it actually is.
P3 as a warlock 
Yes but some casters literally cant play the game in P3
bcuz of all the movement lol
Burning rush 24/7
Yeah some in p3 true
But p1 and p2
Is so free for them
Actually crazy how different it is
or they still on that insta cast lavaburst shit
Anhk cast 
How was your dim kill though did you get cucked on the kill pull @lucid jackal
I mean we played double rogue and I have normal prism and no autmn
So it went about as well as it can, given the circumstances
I died on my last set of cds and lost an 18 stacker

But otherwise I have mythic prism and autumn
For losing 18 stacks I honestly did better than I should’ve
yeah thats the one downside of prism
We have 2 fdk and another rogue. I’m guessing I’ll be running Warrior.
dying is banned banned
I just wish I could step rings later in fight
That’s why I died
Just got too low
No healthstone no pot
Died to 90k overkill
no heals
No one sees yellow in raid frames
So I just didn’t
It was second last ring set

I only die in p3 to people being noobs
Like I died this week cuz we didn't move the melee gravity at all
I went to the spot but the soaker didn't
Gg
Lol

Classic rogue fashion.
Literally
Yeah we had some people lost with soaks for a bit too
Although we did call to line up with 4th planet
But ig people too tunnel vision sometimes
I get lost in the sea of purple at times
you just have to not w key too forward
into his model
else you just take ticking damage
Yeah that’s fine but I was eating the WHOLE KNOCK AND STAYING OUT
Our fract kill time was 440. Tragic.
I got mind controlled
True I gotta look at kill timers too
Might be a hold prism angle on reclears
Like on loomithar it’s prob just going to be forge-nothing-prism
Oh you can step the knock?
Apparently
LOL
I was wondering how people parsed on that shit boss
I just couldn’t

But it’s because they’re fkin stepping back in
bless your rng
By every knock did you get like 1 or 2
i didnt get a coup in tfd tho
I think I had 6 this week
i think i had 3 knocks
But I didn’t know I could step back
i had chimps hogging my area this week
I was told I couldn’t

Yeah well my spot is shared
With an unfortunate dh
I’ve witnessed him dying so many times
no i mean like some pulls 3-4 people decide

to come to my spot
That’s what cheat death is for. Monkey removal
Bold move #subtlety message
Cheat wouldnt have saved me
I know. Just amusing.
That’s why I’m boycotting it
Dogshit talent just does nothing if you take a damage instance after the proc
Boycott rogue. Easier. 
Kinda crazy though
I gapped everyone on healing taken (I was the lowest) and damage taken (also the lowest)
I had 30% feint uptime 
what changed for rio? anyone knows? everyone got more? i cant find any info on raiderio or blue tracker
Bug fix. 5 extra points on every 12+ key
it's on wowhead
ah thx guys
Is there any way to optimize flawless form uptime during shadow dance downtime? I feel like i often run out of unseen blade procs and my nimble flurry dmg is lower than others
where would you use autum?
sub is so good man
i might become one of u sub chads been havin a blast playin it this tier
Tips for getting good logs on loom and soulbinder?
phase/kill timer on loomi and how long do adds live on soulbinder
My biggest problem is having no CDs during burn phases and if I hold CDs I end up getting whispers from raid lead if I'm having network issues

lol
i wish there was an option to turn off auto tea
For me it's last 30 seconds of a fight, especially burn phase on loom..and seeing mages and dks absolutely blasting the bug into oblivion
On keys Idk as long as the pull has 7+ mobs. If I have 18 stacks of prism I'm blasting the meters
Ofcourse as long as I have flag and blades and dance/symbol charges
question: for sub rogue, do you only want to send tea w/ dance when you full combo (flag/sb)? mainly my question is outside of the tea with all cds. when do i send tea?
or just send it with any of your dances? (whether i flag/sb or not)
Just macro dance to tea
Macro it to dance and forget about it
And you have dance with 0 Cp so you can follow up with a backstab
For premed and macabre
thank you 🙂
bump 🙂
Other than a pack being nearly dead is there ever a good reason to hold cooldowns in m+
uh burn phase
if lust is coming up soon
if theres an intermission
so yea theres a few
we dont care about lust mate
are u saying if lust is coming up in like 10 seconds you would rather use ur cds than just wait lol?
Rogue
Lust
Choose one
gets cds recharging
Remember sub does healer damage without CDs. Until unless it's absolutely necessary, do not hold back
Feel like if its a small amount of time there isnt giant harm in holding
especially if ur dances arent capped
gcd capped spec, near zero use for haste. lust is aamazing
Sub just doesn’t get as much out of lust as other specs
yea im aware
you're not if you're holding for lust
Only times I hold back are:-
1>Waiting for dances and symbol charges to be at sufficient amount
2>Pack is almost dead
3>Big Momma coming up next
Soo when i play my friend who is a disc priest and he decides to give me pi because we are in coms and irl friends.. he is trolling rip
Big pi gains
poor tank could have used it
could have made him feel like the belle of the ball
Idk if anyone replied because I can’t read but you want it on second platform
At around 5:05 ish when you pop cds on pargoth
Otherwise you wouldn’t get your cds until a couple seconds into burn
(The 5:05 is assuming you’re holding dps in p1 and waiting for the second rock on platform 1)
But basically on pargoth you want autumn
!wa
how do we trust sims for m+?
I run 3 scenarios: 1tar 5min (classic sim), 4targets 1.5 min, 8targets 1min
in all cases the alpha ring (7k crit>1k mast) sims higher than priory ring(5.5k mast>3.5k vers) - in all cases its from 0.4-0.9% dps increase
feels hella weird (sim link for reference: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/siLDd94K3BuMZy1MjN3vee)

if there are 4+ yeah
thanks
!prism
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.
i know its rare situation but when prio target that had fazed died and u proc coup, do you burn sec tech for applying fazed before coup?
yeah but lets say i dont have dance up for that situation.
i guess its a result of bad gameplay and have to plan ahead, happened to me once in an eco dome and burned my coup by mistake
So prio dying shouldn’t matter
Does Atrophic Poison still Stack?
Outside of dance, just send
If you don’t have dance then you shouldn’t worry about maximizing fazed for your coup
i see. so just send
!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".
If cds are coming up your damage is so bad that it can be worth it to hold coup for 20 seconds for flag
In fact you’ll commonly see that in logs
i had dance coming and thought "nice i can 2x coup and get so much flawless form stacks before the dance".
burned coup.
realized i didnt have fazed up

Nah never play it that way
You don’t really game flawless form unless you’re dancing back to back even then it’s kinda just playing itself
so when holding coup you just do bp single target?
No you press nothing until cds unless it’s like aoe and you’re about to dance in a few seconds
If I proc coup but I’m about to dance sure I’ll hold it for a couple seconds
But generally if you’re holding coup it’s for cds
In which case if it is low target count you just HOLD
Like you actually just sit at full combo points spamming backstab
I forget what the command was tbh

Every 90 seconds you want to cast Flagellation and subsequently Shadow Blades. When these two are up you always want cast 2 Symbols of Death, 2 Shadow Dances and 2 Secret Techniques.
To ensure you have enough cooldown reduction on your Shadow Dance to attain that you need atleast 1 charge and roughly 30 seconds left on your second charge before casting Flagellation.
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.
Yeah this one
i see, im chronically sender individual so i'll have to practice a bit
havent played sub more seriously since df s1
thanks
It is pretty much a completely different spec
tbf, it does feel kind of bad to have coup but then sit on it waiting for dance to get to 35s (when you're at one charge, while your blades and flag is up)

sometimes i just send and pray on sht procs for returns 
do a vanish in between dances
but thats feelcraft
i do that a lot and its not recomended
especially when pugs are so random, you can't properly plan at times
yeah, idk, same
on assa it's less troubling, bleeds and sudden demise carry, even when tanks are weird
hello, can I get some ppl to look at my fractillus log? I'm simming for 4m5 on 5 minutes, I still feel like I'm doing abysmal damage. if anyone wanna help : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pTCcbvLFRqgQZdMk?fight=last&type=damage-done&source=15&view=timeline
I'd be happy knowing if I'm atleast doing rotation right, besides respecting unseen blade I'm not aware if there's anything else to do
youre casting shuriken storm way too many times, reread the coup rule. your second shadow dance needs to start immediately after the first ends every single time in cds, you dont wait for sectec to be back. you should be building stacks and just backstabbing before your cd window, and immediately finish after casting flag before proceeding with the rest of your rotation
you cast shuriken storm 25 times that fight, the highest ive seen in other logs just quickly looking at top 50 is 7
most between 1-5
when my coup is up and i'm entering a little burst, i just backstab no matter if i waste an ub stack then?
https://raider.io/characters/eu/draenor/Kjellkåre
can someone pls check waht I should craft next? (Kinda new to the whole game)
Man just getting into one of these run is brutal in LFG. Trying to get resi 16 atm and they just don't take you even with higher score than meta classes
because sometimes when i press bs it gives me two stacks and coup comes up, cucking me
Mythic logic gate alpha vs myth signet? Both sim ~0.0% ...
It’s the same reason people don’t take arcane mages. There were 12 of us last season. The chance you’re inviting a shitty player on sub is quite high.
You also don’t bring anything but dmg
I think it's more about that than shitty player
It’s a one two punch
embellishment differences are miniscule, you can sim if you want to min max otherwise just follow the guides
Cause if you have higher score than the others with a non meta class you can likely play the game at least as well as them if not better
I wouldn’t invite a rogue unless I knew them. 
real
droptimizer has a profession selector to show youi the best upgrade
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/droptimizer
We passed on a 3400 Havoc for a 3100 Lock for a 12 ara. WTF are you applying to our 12 Mr havoc. Do not trust you one bit.
Arcane is giga meta though despite not bringing much in my keys
Lust
They don't even top damage on bosses and they get stomped on the overall
i think in that scenario yes youd rather waste a proc of ub than spam multiple shurikens
is there a way to add embelishments to droptimizer?
arcane is only that low because nobody invites lfg mages because they are all bad
No. Top gear.
top gear hit the +
they also don’t matter
real;
Pick whatever sounds cool.
I mean yeah Lust + Int buff
Raid buffs are just stupid for m+ tbh
No amount of int is helping my warrior
It's helping your healer
or the BM hutner lol
interrupting helps my healer more. 
maybe itll help me spell tho?
But mage warrior is not a good comp anyway lol
Unless it's war tank then it makes sense
they’re just weekly fills so it doesn’t matter.
It makes sense because I am the warrior and we need lust so first come that doesn’t look like shit with lust wins.
I'd rather take a hunt then
what have i done 
thanks
Something stupid for .15% dps
Everyone and their grandma is playing hunt these days
Well can't blame them with current tuning
not quite stupid, i just swapped from assa and i want to resim all my gear and stuff
at least its patchwerk, if it was dslice i would've gone to bed
your assa embellishments are fine
whatever they use these days
Focusing Lense
You’re welcome
i dont even have to check cause they dont matter
Aren't embelishment a shitty dps gain anyway ?
That’s fine for sub
i got shit gear anyway hero tier
just avoid haste
you will have some haste
even sub loves this ring for some reason
1 gem and 1 tier
nah shitty embellishments is the way
dont want them to make or break things
i agree in a way, but those had their charm, felt a bit more rpg-ish
don't think we are s even anymore
still good tho
thanks to trinkets
tierboots are good right?
704 champ lilly btw 
is it worth to sock different gems colors for the blasphemite?
not rly
better question is it worth to socket blasphemite at all? 
i saw ppl playing without it
damn, sim is telling me nothin will be an upgrade from 6/6 hero pacemaker 8/8 vet prism except upgrading either the prism or pace xd
Over what? U comparing to a vers/mast ring for sims?
What's "high keys" show?
That’s up to 20 
change it to "high keys"
who cares though it doesn't matter in most keys
the only two things that are basically required in keys are lust and a brez
I’m on mobile. You all can change it. Literally first thing someone sees on that page is sub is s tier.
optimizing comp won't matter in like 95% of cases
Perception as we’ve talked about many a times in here.
Someones gotta press lust
isn't it interesting to take Inevitability when you take planned execution ? Just watching at recommended talents on guide
If you have both, i guess planned execution lasts longer ?
Here's high keys
What cursed build doesnt take inev
outlaw better than hunter specs confirmed 
What kind of cooked build
Oh noes. Only top of a
If you play tea as sub you dont shower
i mean wowhead guide by fuu
Still fits my narrative of LOL no one plays sub even when it’s meta
the difference is 30 io as well
It was just stated that sub isn't in S anymore. That's all. And it's true for high keys
sub is literally tankier than dk
no it aint
you actually end up so tank healers get confused and think they dont have to heal you
i look at my hps and dtps and im always above the dk in % mitigated and healed
Hahaha good one
idk man in what way is dk tankier its possible im only in 14/15's but i never see them outliving me
AMS ignores mechanics bro
does anyone have damage profile from m+? I wonder how it should look like, im first day in learning sub and its looking like this so far, eco +11
i guess
its still not less damage taken or more healed
unless this is a 16's+ thing
Their kit is just more survivability than rogue, even if u have 25% vers.
that class is invulnerable
It's just a fact
this has been a recurring thing tho
lotta bad players out there
it might change in 16's or something but i'm not taking more damage or healing less
I'm not saying sub isn't alright at living or anything but DKs are crazy tanky
because good dks dont pug
this is actually closer than usual as well
i dont think i've actually seen a key where this wasn't true
fotm dks
over 54 14's or so
Is the apl for it well maintained?
It’s the only one rogue uses for AOE
”chat is the dk in my group a potato”
yeah good point and you are doing the hardest keys in the game 
which deal the most sustained damage
and require people to use their kit or brick
i did say it might change in 16's
but what am i suppose to do with data y'know if its not telling me a thing
54 of them lol
How many 16s
do you think were completed
since you started doing 16s
How many keys above 12 do you think are completed?
its open world experiences
kind of like how i gank any male belf players
because i know they gonna die in 5 gcds max
and to be clear I'm not arguing like your experiences or whatever didn't happen haha
But the thought that doing 54 keys and some DKs you've had didn't use their kit to take less damage or whatever and therefore DK and sub rogue is similar survivability
is pretty limited in methodology to reach that conclusion no?
many ? 12s are really easy this season
16 is where I saw a big jump in difficulty
Pretty much anyone remotely trying and decent at the game can get 3300
yea that's not really my point
is dungeon slice fine to sim sub rogue? currently playing as an alt
ya
this discord will tell you ye but I'd also advise to run patchwerk solo and 5-8 targets too to get a good picture
Cause i've got some mixed results in dslice
ok, thank you
!prism
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 what the bug about sub rogue?
i mean ok lets say your right, at what level should i see this reverse itself though
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
ty
Why would I know that?
honestly dmg taken isnt a super great way to judge between rogues and DKs.
DKs can facetank things that will 1 shot a rogue
Hey guys!
If I have a look to several logs I was wondering why some sub player just using a handful of BP the whole dungeon (I watched +15/+16) and do a lot of damage via Nimble Flurry.
I thought we are using BP at 4+ targets?
Probably havoc or arcane comp
Is the rule still 30 seconds on holding CDs with 4 pc, or can you send a Dance with like 20-25 seconds?
woul dhave to look at group comp, pull size. mobs n pack and such.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FQLd7HqGADytNJKM?fight=43&type=damage-done&source=1020
I can't imagin that they did just small pulls in a Eco-Dome 16
just 12 BP^^
double dh comp
why are you looking at people doing 16s
@vale pine any chance we're getting an updated raid buff table on your sim sheet?
!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.
with a 30% chance yeah
why not?
not going to be the best players and you can still time those keys playing sub optimally
does anyone know if wow analyser can analyse combat logs from delves or dummies?
any macro for lilly and prism + blades in 1 button? i guess not but maybe there's a tech somewhere
no
Prism basically has no cd so any macro would prioritize whatever is up and first in the macro
yeah it would work well if i had araz since thats 2 min and if i put it first i can bind it to blades and cycle between them, but lilly at 1.5 will always be used with blades, unless i press prism manually before blades
I have a question
why do we use backstab after we use shadow dance? or before that
is there a buff that we get or smth?
because of premeditation
and a stack of dance macabre
every step is explained in the wowhead guide
any way to avoid camera spin with shadowstep?
prtiest has it kinda so i was wondering
Be in melee range before you press it
The camera snap comes from the teleport putting you behind the boss
!log
If some giga sub player can look here, i m in a total pinch.
!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.
Do you have it talented
yeah haha
they might have neural silencer
Is the rule still 30 seconds on holding CDs with 4 pc, or can you send a Dance with like 20-25 seconds?
Its not a hard rule
But the 4p does not affect it much
Also generally all recommendations are made assuming you have the 4p
Okay, was just wondering if it changed, since coup seems to give a ton of CDR to Dance
would someone be able to explain why forge + prism isso much more popular in raid and m+ than prism + one of the various good equips
shocked to see how popular it is
its been simming lower for me
mostly just to pad on adds/for dmg amps
Droptimizer often gets a stroke when doing double on-uses
Make sure youre simming top gear
forge+prism sims lower for me. Dunno if it s better than what i have.
Theyre usually pretty much the same as passives on ST sims
The trinket from dawn + prism sims better than Prism + Araz for me.
Are they using double on-use for AOE packs?
ahhhhhhh ok the droptimizer comment probably explains a lot
now need to start telling my rl that the wowaudit numbers are iffy lmao
@hazy breach sir do you have a wa to track current holy paladin's blessing? to know when he have autumn and track it
n then forge pulls ahead in aoe because you dont really care to do more damage between cds?
For p3 dim, Do I just macro /target dimmy shadowstep to get to the boss quick?
Idk if you want to, doesnt really matter that much
Making sure you have coup, supercharger and some shadow technique stacks coming down is way more impactful
I see, thank you
Assuming 704 Netherprism, would a 704 Araz trinket be better than a 723 Anthena on Nexus/Dimensius/M+? Is there a way i can sims that?
does anyone know why sometimes rupture procs for 40+ seconds but sometimes 50+ seconds even when I have maxed combo points and 2 supercharged ones?
Pandemic? (do you already have a rupture applied?)
now that you mention it, maybe the top up one makes it 50+ seconds
is there a passive for this that I didn't know about?
Pandemic is in wow base code, and not really explained anywhere. Some ability adds up if refresh too early (to a certain amount)
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
i'm in the exact same situation, honestly no idea
I would say antenna, especially if your forge is 20 ilvls lower, because most guilds now are aiming to kill the boss before 3 min in p3
apparently the estimated miss rate is ~30% on those bosses, but you can't factor in the amps
And you generally end up stopping dps in all the other phases
Once you get comfortable
That was my thought process too! thank you!
Also I got my first combat log. Is this okay or bad "44.4% of your Shadow Dance casts were good." "60.0% of your Symbols of Death casts were good." "66.7% of your Rupture casts were good." What do you guys make of this?
yea dont try that one
oh uh any advice for killing the phaseblades on myth soulbinder?
is it worth hard swapping to one, holding cd's or just trying to cleave off boss?
hello sub rogues.... I'm trying to compare my logs to others. and one of the biggest differences i'm seeing is the amount of Nimble Flurry I have compared to most others. (I'm on the low side) I think I'm not understanding how the to proc Nimble Flurry more?
Idk what you mean, damage to the small orbs? The big echo add that spawns? The pillars in intermission?
phaseblades are on Soulbinder if im not mistaken not Araz
Yeah
sorry i think i meant soulbinder yeah

no that's a great answer
They should die with cleave, maybe first big add set has some still up if your DPS is low when the boss moves
we got it to 30% to skip last add phase but heals fell behind due to how long they lived
Whats the best comp for M+ with a rogue? Im assuming shammy and druid, but would a monk or warrior tank be better?
ye we have like 3 warlocks and no monks rn thanks though
In terms of buffs warrior is the best, followed by shaman and monk
They will hurt the tanks if left up, you might need to switch if they are living too long
so is War tank, monk healer, balence druid, ele shammy just goated?
but i guess the casters wouldnt be very happy about it lol
Im trying to push up 15s, so just trying to optimize my chance of sucess
maybe just always having a frost dk
@tepid trellis found ur fat ass in my garbage
there's no decent way to get monk buff unless you run with a brew
and running with brews is a bit weird
Ayo mind your own business
for soulbinder we save sTec for when the adds spawn right? and then just send the sTec for max dam?
is anyone able to take a look at a log rq and tell me wtf im doing wrong in raid. I feel like I understand the spec and I blast in M+ ending like 8M overall, but in raid im sucking
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 <
got it - anything else major?
ah, yeah FoK reflexes since that used to be lower energy in sin over mut. Anything else or is that pretty much it?

been trying to figure that out for a while
i tried letting them start the key and then running out until until dome goes away
didn't seem to work
We dont talk about that
it true that you can start a dungeon with full prism stacks?
can someone please have a look at my opener is gambit and let me know if im doing something wrong 🙁

Hello all, i have been trying to understand the multi target "rotation" on wowhead but im being left so confused, it doesnt mention Nimble Flurry at all. I would've thought if i have stacks of flawless form then i should be using eviscerate instead of black powder up to 8 targets no?
!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).
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.

- 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.
Just means use bp over evis. Still use coup whenever its ready
gotcha, awesome thank you both!
funny to think i have been doing aoe completely wrong this whole time and still topping my M+ groups 🙃
