for how much vers should i aim?
What if, finishers are significantly buffed and mastery scaling gets reduced?
we would still be making memes about black powder buffs
!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.
warning signs is named like that because you clicked on the wrong talent
how about they introduce a hidden gcd reduction while in shadow dance which is based on your haste 
or haste gives double value to auto attack swing timer
or scaling to snd
more sht
then remove the AA part of skyfury for sub like it is for ret
if we could get a talent that gives us the same auto attack buff that skyfury does I'd be happy
thrash blade as a talent
Why would u want this?
honestly I'm personally fine getting solid value from 3 out of 4 secondaries
Almost everything is good in some way, it's great
and the whole 'not being tied to lust' part is awesome
with our given haste relationship
wouldn't be mad if the added some kind of haste thing for us but I'm fine if they don't
Good thing they made "amps" this season be damage taken increases rather than more haste 
big fan of more damage done
when running first dance, should i try to send 2nd sec tec (with cb) during the first dance (with new symbols)?
yeah haste buffs in raid from mechanics are doodoo and need to stay away
looking at you sark
You send sectech whenever its ready
(and you supercharge it)
Theres no "you must hit it at this exact moment or youll do zero damage", its just
Press it whenever its ready
yeah but what i meant is should i try to fit it during the first dance
thx
nws have fun blasting
cause i feel like its kinda inconsistent, rng dependant and i might be hitting it just when dance expires
i hate first dance lol
What non-lethal poisons should i be running on 13+ keystones? Atrophic or Numbing?
first dance is great when you use it imo
sucks trying to get it up sometimes
you probably are missing autos or wasting a gcd during it
Most ppl default to atro but crippling has value if Ur comp doesn't have big slows for gambit and halls
should be getting 2 sec tech in first dance
With all the mobs that run around
hey so in ur cooldowns you gotta press shuriken storm after the first coup cast , but do we do that even when you get full combopoints back after the first coup?
no
nope
Crippling? For slow mv speed?
only if you need cp
its specifically to avoid wasting your hidden blade proc
or w/e its calle
if you can evis-evis with max cp to eat coup you do that everytime
alright tnx guys
Ua
Ya*
Mobs murlocs in gambit run away when low hp, same with halls
U can swap poisons mid run so might as well run them if Ur comp has no slows for when its iseful
Same way u swap to wound poison for miniboss before last boss in halls
Question for one of yall
Im so bad at the demon hunters :(
When I sim myself, I have 2 necks, one that’s heavy vers and crit, the other is heavy mas and vers, it tells me to put the crit vers neck on and when I do it makes vers my main stat….

Do I have to run around and collect the orbs from Antena or I will be ait if I just wait them to reach me? In CD windows I think I would have to run around and catch them
Just a thought
What's the question
do i ever use secret outside of cds and outside of shadow dance?
golly this spec does alot of damahe within its cds...
outside of my cds i feel like im just helping
you can (with symbols or not) if it will still be ready for your next dance. The gain is very minor though and costly if it delays your next dance
I guess the question was why would it have me swap necks out and make my highest stat vers when mastery isn’t capped yet
because stats other than mastery also do damage
Because there aren't binary stat caps like you are describing
As u get more stats, other stats gain value
sometimes having a balance between stats is better than having just 1 stat
if you want to take shuriken tornado, what would you sacrifice for it?
replicating shadows?
Or veiltouched
5% increased magic damage is a big sacrifice, isn't it
maybe dumb question but do we use black powder in shadow dance? doesnt feel right with nimble furry or am i wrong
or at what cound do it use black powder over evis?
we use black powder at +4 targets
aye thanks, ill just follow wowhead 🙂 last season that number was way higher
Bp got buffed significantly
!fuu

black powder got buffed this season

!prism
cos lily is just slighlty worse in sims than forge for 5min

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.
oh so there is "new" tech
lilly is not terrible ye
im kinda unlucky with forge
still sitting on normal on i get from TWW cache oan first week 😄
meanwhile we looted like 5 antenas or more
but cant roll on them
Hi, when should we use araz and prism? Got prism and antenna and i tried simming, it says araz is less good than antenna

Then why does it sims lower than prism antenna on raidbots ?
In ST(didnt test dungeon slice)
because its worse on a patchwerk fight
the upside of it is in dungeons or specific boss fights
the ability to align these bigger stat budget to add spawns or damaeg events
or big pulls
antenna or similar all end up main stat trinket too
which give you more static damage always
trinkets with main stat have more power put into the main stat than the proc effects
fake hype
anyone using build with nado? I find it easier to fit the second teq inside of the 1st dance with it, any tips without nado?
You’re not using tornado during dance.
hi guys ^^ wowhead suggests we play 1 on use and 1 passive, but my friend says sub rogues NEED 2 on use trinkets
is that correct?
iirc antenna also sims with no misses unless you change the settings for it
I am, trying to figure out tho without the build with nado how to consiostently fit 2 teq in 1 dance
You’re playing it wrong then.
how am I supposed to use it?
For CDR to spread rupture or BP outside of CDs
Only time we cast Storm in dance is as a building between coups
Our “aoe” is still using strike in dance.
nado not storm
any tips @vale pine ?
brother you don't use nado during your blades, how does it help you with your 2nd sectec?
because it casts every sec
instead of every 1.5
Ive seen casual use it in burst window and was wondering any other tips using it, or tips without it to fit both secteqs in 1 dance
rogue gcd is 1s not 1.5s, what's that 1.5?
Nado just casts storm mate. Same thing applies.
ah ok, not sure why he was using it in burst window then
but said it was easier for him to fit sec teq
tried it and also noticed the same thing maybe just placebo effect
but was curious about it
Nado is storm storm storm. so he’s getting slightly quicker CDR, but less dps. 
but if its a bit faster isint it easier to get the second teq out?
it can be that it you get more cdr out of it, but that's not the only factor. You lose a lot of damage by not having shadowstrikes because that also affects UB and coup procs
your dance window isn't just for sectec
It doesn’t matter for what you’re giving up. You’re getting no UB from it.
yes I know that but whats a consistent way of getting both techs in 1st dance?
how do i make a thread for a log review? trying to get better at sub, i feel like im missing something
use !log
You want 2 sectechs in TFD you have to typically do prepull bullshit or have good rng.
!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.
You’re casting your second Sectech right at the end of dance and following it up immediately with another dance.
ok so sec teq is like inbetween lets say
it can fit entirely within the 1st dance with TFD but it depends on rng
ok so it is rng on the combo point proc right?
No. Your cast goes off usually on last global of TFD dance. The dance immediately after buffs the additional hits.
rng is unseen blade
that and UB procs, coup is good cdr
and by using nado in dance you’re missing out on UB and that what you want for cb Sectech
ok I see
Hopefully it makes sense. I’m exhausted
I was wondering the rng things but wasnt entirely sure
also this isn't something important. It's ok if your 2nd sectec is in the second dance
Not sure text is clear
biggest rng is just unseen blade
Im finding tea build to be more managable then CB
If you spam sure
hi guys ^^ wowhead suggests we play 1 on use and 1 passive, but my friend says sub rogues NEED 2 on use trinkets
is that correct?
Not a hard need
both are viable
the two on use combination is forge and prism
he was like "any good sub will play double on use and stuff like antenna is giga troll"
nothing else really is nearly as effective
i mean i have lily + a 691 delve trinket (The one that gives vers and looks like a necklace)
im not really geared or anything yet
if you don't have prism + forge then stick to 1 passive imo
^
is CB build better used with rotten or without?
Either works
Rotten isn’t really needed
its very easy to spread FW with rotten tho in aoe
whats the other efficient way of spreadding it without rotten?
at 710+ we spread FW quite easily without it
ok, and do you find the point in finality to be overall more woth it then?
I’ve played both and can barely tell a diff
one gives a bit more oomf to shadowstrikes one gives more to finishers
it's a preference thing
lil oopsie when i do a sub 12 key
and smack the cc orbs for like 70m
with nimble
We call those happy little accidents
or the second boss of db’s add spawn instant gets removed by an 18 stack prism cb sectech
!dance
@tepid trellis gz for kill, very nice! 2 questions to your video. what does this sd WA tell you? it should not be the buff, correct? aaaand what is the grey line below your green crosshair?
like latest point when you get to 2 stacks so you dont sit on it?
He probably just mapped out his cooldown usage and put it in a reminder so it was repeatable
no its just hdr screenshotbugs
!wa
ty ty
just a reminder for when to use certain cds, the grey bar is just a health bar
thanks!
!log
I have a strange thought. Do we even truly need thistle tea bound to a key? I can’t remember the last time I actually pressed it. I have it macro’d into shadow dance & it also auto hits if our energy is low.. I can’t imagine any other time I’d press it?
you can but i cba. macro to dance with 5s reset time so you dont spam it and g2g
Cba??
"can't be arsed" to do it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
saw people using "The Rotten" in M+, does it change the rotation in any form or is jsut passive?
You can turn hdr off per app, in this case sniping tool. just an fyi.
SoD + Storm before dance.
It’s likely worse over finality if you have decent enough gear.
Pretty sure what was concluded as optimal. I rather s play finality. We spread FW so easily with Storm on its own
could u explain to me why storm before dance then? im fairly new on rogue
We only cast Storm in dance as a builder between coups
ye but why we want to cast storm with rotten?
Need to check, ty!
to spread find weakness
!guide
and u say, its worse wiht better gear. i just followed murlok the last week and the rotten got highe rin numbers in that time
Those sites are trash
obviously i already looked into guides.
There’s a lot of “feels” in m+ play
all 3 linked guides play rotten as well though
acronyms are bit touhg sometimes, and to be fair, find weaknes isnt a big talking poitn in any of the guide rotation pages
i think it's mostly preference, might depend a bit on dungeon as well
The suggested builds are just that, none have been updated with the recent changes. They likely will once apl gets pushed
It’s not dungeon dependent. It’s off early season info that was explored, and new approaches were found. You’re fine playing either one.

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key as well.
Top end key pushers are fucking up dbl on use trinkets, yet still swear by them. It be what it be. Don’t blindly follow them.
so you take out rotten + 1 symbols for 2 in finality then?
No just 1 finality
ok. was just about to say, losing a symbols charge is gonna feel super weird
Isn't rotten good for mass pulls or still nah
what trinket should itry to farm from m+
Scroll up and it’s answered
I see
i have no idea what died in this ss
before i ask too many things about it, is the up to date and correct? it seems to differ from the other guides
the storm isnt meant to be there, thats on me
why the eviscerate first? the other guide go straight into ruptures
i have played s3 yet but why is flag so late
omg what i forget how to play sub if i skip a season of wow
right now im jsut hitting the dummies and i obviously dont have any good grasp on it but doesnt shadowstriking on 4+ targets isntead of shuriken storm without shadowblades "feel" really bad? to use 2+ builder so i get less finisher into my dance?
unfortunately Storm does 0 dmg and doesent interact with our hero talent
so during dance its always shadowstrike
since i hav eu here, i guess this line is from deathstalker?
its under "general playstyle"
yeh it was something DS used to do
but DS is dead af, so could prolly just remove it
i mean u already say its probably not worth doing but jsut i udnerstadn it correct. i use 1 backstab jsut for 1 stacsk flawless form so 3% dmg?
shadowstrike is used not only for combo point generation but also because it procs unseen blade (and it flurries too)
inside of dance you backstab as first builder (can skip if high target count)
or its something you can do while out of dance below 4 targets to try and get flawless form running for evis cleave
i get the feeling sub isnt the specc for a bit of casual twink keys 😄
it has a high floor
or maybe im just old and washed
but also alot of the "minmaxes" are all just a bunch of 0,5% things
generally speaking as long as you do dances correct
you are like 85% of the way there
does holding coup and sitting on combopoints for shadwotechnique count towards correct dances?
all the buffs like fazed, and flawless form etc. feel complicated but i guess most if it works passively when im playing correct right?
also holding coup is mostly for single target
yes its all passive
do i need i unseen blade cooldown wa? my package (luxthos) does not have it
nope
appreciate the help btw. while im certainly not highlevel, i played s2 on 3750 and enjoy theorycrafting. but i tend to ask questions before playing 😄
hey guys im swapping specs around a lot this season, and just trying sub out in M+ a bit, and i was curious if there's an optimal way to use the rotten in aoe? like the rotational difference, if there is one?
not really, only thing you can really do with it would be something like this
SoD+storm->dance+sectech
ah yeah and then just let backstab be your next generator i reckon
but its largely w/e really
yeh, just important to not use the storm inside of dance
do i cold blood between major cd's? its hardly aligns with dance/secrettech to have it up in time for next cooldowns or is it me doing something wrong?
ye i literally never press CB except for the second cd sectec and my dmg in raid is v good
the shuriken storm between coup, is it only in shadow blades or every dance? guides say different thingsi think
shadowblades or with 4 targets or more
but ONLY that one time between coups is the big thing
never more than once during dance
follwoing this i do it, in blades, but not in solo dance, but again outside of dance?
nvm
read it wrong its late
!coup
Coup de Grace Optimizations:
- **Number 1: ** You can hold coup up to ~20 secounds and stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. The later is used 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.
"them"=major cooldowns
but it stil suggest u do it outside wiht tierset
which contradicts ur answer^^
Whats this antenna miss% mean and whats a realistic% in mythic raid
15-20%
its in the single target section and there you only do it during blades
you can check in your logs what missrate you have and use that, if you already have the trinket
ye i get it now. its too late and i think the sentences is a bit convoluted in my opinion.
sry if its nitpicky. as i said i really appreciate ur time and answers. will go to bed now. good night
nah thats valid, ill freshen it up to be easier understood
I have a dumb nerd question why cant I find bloodmallet sims for weapon enhancements and do we have any sims to see the % increase for enhancements, is bubbling wax still on par
So why is it likely to miss orbs? Just because your busy or what
because most ppl don't default to chasing around orbs the entire game
And also, some fights dont let u easily chase around orbs

does coup de grace need to be used with 6+ combo points or can it be used with 2 or more since it acts as if it had more
i didnt know if 13 combo point damage was a real thing or its just capped

The more the merrier, but using it on lower is fine if youre in a pinch
alright ty
Like the 4p only lasts a few seconds so if you dont get to full cp
Thats fine
Just send at lower cp
Even if you send at 1 cp its still effectively a 6 cp finisher
makes sense thats what i assumed
Likewise if you supercharge it and have 7 combo points when you cast coup it would count as 7+3+5=15 combo points spent
oh ok so more than 7 points does exist
Yes
thats where the big dps comes from
on opener where does each symbols go?
one to rupture and one to sec tec
Always supercharge sectech
thats why sectech goes early on dance?
No, thats because of trickster'
A lot of the power of sectech is in disorienting strikes
and when entering dance with grace do i use it before Sextech?
what's the passive that sometimes regenerates full combo points after a finisher?
shadowcraft
I never understood that one. What does it mean when it says "Shadow Techniques triggers 40% more frequently" and "Stores 1 additional combo point"?
so does it make it go from 28 -> 40 or 28-> 68?
ohh that makes sense. I got it mixed up with Secret Techniques
Kind of the first one
Although 28% is not technically not wrong, its not just 28% chance for it to happen on every auto.
First auto has 0% proc chance, Second has 0% proc chance, third has 50% proc chance and fourth has 100% proc chance
Which averages out to 28% chance
With shadowcraft specced and symbols up its instead First 0%, second 50%, third 100%
Which averages to roughly 40% more
Nothing to do really do with this info, but hey, now you know

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+Lily: Use Lily with Blades until you have 16+ stacks of Prism, then use prism and hold Lily for next Blades.
Im using it with pacemaker, so should I hold it till I get close stacks to 18?
How many ruptures should we try to spread as mobs get rounded up on big pulls
As many as you Can
holding up cds for it?
No
too bad i hate double on use
so just spreading it till the tank grab the mobs closer?
Spread til its gathered
Use 13 use 14 shadow blades
why does it feel like i do less damage getting ruptures up before i open with big cds vs when i just shadowstrike in and pop em ?
im at 2966
Probably because you aren't comparing like to like in terms of like, a handful of variables
Mainly stuff like prism/actual pull count
rupturing should only be done while grouping or between Cds tho
U shouldnt delay Cds to rupture
ok because i see in opener they have you fok + rupter during flag
but thought setting up ruptures before popping cds would be good since they all get buffed?
It is but if you were to spread ruptures every time before Cds, you'd probably miss 3+ flags a dungeon yk
Like ur opener should still be strike flag rupture
But u shouldnt be spamming ruptures after flag
gotcha
But what if rupture is fun?
Is there a thread to ask for help/coaching? Having issues with dps and want some help figuring it out
like priory for example first pull... you wait for group then normal opener in ? or are you spreading ruptures as its all grouping then popping cds
Just tricks the tank, and start rupturing shit
When they are all grouped, use all CDs
right i feel like i do less dmg that way
then just waiting for group and popping everything
thats where im confused
You are in combat for longer so dps might be lower but overall dmg to the pack should be higher
You can post a log with the !log command but no guarantees someone will look at it
Good enough for me! Thanks
Guys I'm trying to impress my raid leader tonight for mythic raid trials.
We are doing Loomithar, Soul Hunters and Fractillus heroic.
Should I stick with sub for all 3 fights, or switch to assas to look better on the DPS meters?
Ty sir. And gearwise sin can pretty much use same gear as Sub right ?
Mix of Vers/Mast and some crit
Ty good sir. Appreciate the help!
I'll do assas for
Loom - assas
Soulhunter - sub
Fractillus - assas
For Mythic plexus, assas is also more superior to sub right? Pure ST fight
I see. Can still use sub gear right?
Unless really wanna min max then recraft everything to crit mastery?
yeh it will be fine, but also Assa and sub isnt different in terms of output on single target
so you could just rock sub all the way
its HC anyway right so shit will die fast af
until you have 15 friends and family in 680 gear
thats gonna be our mythic alt run tonight
ong
i sneaked ryler into it as well, time to int
show him the raccoon special
Havoc
Zoom zoom
712 havoc about to pull up and do z dps
Oh I keep thinking assas is superior on ST. Especially on Loomithar 33% increase damage and assas has execute
boss dies so fast it doesent really make a difference
Assa execute can help it pull away in mythic. Heroic it won’t matter
I almost wonder if 2 min sub is better for some of the heroic timers
was gonna check my logs from hc but ive been removed from the logs since guild split
unlucko
Damn
can I equip two 720 crafted daggers? (2x everforged stabber)?
Yes
But don’t
Craft just about anything else besides an offhand weapon
They’re rather irrelevant
k ty
Wrists, Ring, Neck & Shoulders are typically good crafts depending on what you have / need
it’s a sim it angle
can we only equip 2 craftes pieces? I can't remember if the limit was on crafted pieces or just embellishments
only 2 embellishments but as many crafted items as you want
nice thanks!

- 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.
that seems petty af
!wa
For dimensius do we wanna flag the add, kill it asap. So we get max flag stacks right away?
Or flag on dimensius and cleave the add?
They should make Sub more purple.
hey, just took a random top log to check, how is it possible to have nimble flurry do so much dps compared to everything else?
like this red in the middle is nimble flurry
and black powder is at the top
Do you guys have any tips on what to look for when analysing logs?
I'm trying to improve my gameplay and compare myself to better rogues as my damage is a lot lower then other rogues in my bracket.
All CDs seem to be lined up pretty similiarly but their SecTecs and Coups hit a lot harder than mine
@tepid trellis can help you all

Anyone have advice for using Flagellation on dimensius or on the add?
!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.
It barely makes a difference but why flag add over Dimensius
got it ill flag dimensius instead of the add
cause i heard if you flag the add, and add dies = you get full mastery stacks right away
you have full stacks a good chunk before it dies
also if my nimble flurry in a pack is low it is probably due to positioning?
Skip black powdering and press eviscerate instead despite there being more than 4 targets
Decent aoe loss very slight prio gain
but he also has negligent evisc damage there
800k
and 1M bp
howver nimbleflurry 8M
well i guess there is also secret technique, and also a lot of targets
Coup dmg as well
rogue META soon
Doing keys on raid talents as assa - I must commit soduku💀
Doing keys on raid talents as sub - We balling this 2 chest
PE build kinda goated if things are dying too fast for rupture anyway
you sure?
pretty sure
i have no idea what i look at
+, it actually does kinda add up
If you're not doing high keys and are only planning to do all +16 . a substitute can completely replace a DK. In fact, I dare say that so far, I haven't encountered any DK in the meetingstone who deals more DMG than I do.
SUB not substitute...
Grip is so good in getting caster pulls together
funny how every season the specs with the highest damage somehow also have insane utility 
we talk about raid or m+?
m+
grip def. is rl good in both this season
If Rogue have no utility in M+ and raids, and now they lack damage, then this class should be removed—there's no reason for it to exist at all.

we do bring some utility
you can pick locks and open doors to bosses without the keys, and unlock chests for your friends 
You also glow purple and this is good utility
hey you give movement speed with shroud
glowing purple is the best utility it is at least +5% group buff
Rogue has some utility but few things compare to grip
it's funny how all of a sudden grips are an amazing utility
in dragonflight and shadowlands you had the exact same kit
Yes but the dungeon pool changes
and the complaints were about the lack of utility
but somehow when DK is tuned very well
it has insane utility

if rogue was tuned super high reddit would parrot the exact same line
about rogue "utility" making it meta
In dragonflight and SL stops interrupted casts
!guide
you still had annoying casters that needed grips
Ya but a lot more of them you could just rip some shitty stop and then they walk in
Now u gotta kick them often twice
Because kick lockout is also shorter
Pvp change that wouldn’t affect pve btw
I'm waiting for the day warrior is tuned high and reddit praises it's utility 
oh wait, they actually do with prot warrior 
Bshout kinda crazy in melee meta
AoE silence, What else?
short cd on aoe stun
45 sec?
more like 25
I think most classes have a sub 30s aoe stop of some sort
rogue is uniquely awful in that regard
Is it ok to send naked st in keys? or is it almost always worth waiting the extra litte bit to get it under sd?
yeah because mages really needed an aoe stun
yep
Damn, our comp suck I realize
which is only a minor positional disrupt
well db
I did hardmode on my mage today and doing dragon boss is legit a joke
This a timed 13 priory how this look 👀
You have infinite utility
looks timed so thats good
The virgin kidney shot + blind vs 2x frost nova, cone (80% 5s slow btw), ring of frost, mass poly, blast wave, grav lapse
ahhh but you see rogues can have aoe slow on demand
by just talenting into night terrors

50% vs 80%

holy shit
actually just delete us from the game
rip the bandaid off
Arcane’s barrier nearly gives as much dr as aoe feint while also being a 4mil shield btw
wait you can increase your movement speed with shuriken storm???
And you can give to entire group
yeah it's the hidden technique that high key pushers hide from you
you get them as well?
no I sleep quite peacefully
that talent will make running old raids so much better 
in keys during shadow dance do you mainly use shuriken if there's a heap of mobs or stick with shadowstrike for coupe procs
bit confused about the whole aoe situation during dance
can pull around 7m overall but that seems a bit low for sub?
cool thought so just wanted to make sure
Shuriken between 2 coup proc
probably just my general lining up buffs which is holding me back
You got prism?
Correct
!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
Coup de Grace Optimizations:
- **Number 1: ** You can hold coup up to ~20 secounds and stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. The later is used 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.
Yes
only just noticed i cant proc em togther
You use forge on first cd set
rodgy
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.
sweet thanks for the help
oh one more question in boss fights without adds being pulled whats the general damage people are getting?
swapped from sin to actually be able to do decent damage and cant get above 3.5m on boss fights
does anyone have a weak aura to remind to cast symbols after a wipe?
Yes gimme a sec
There
Thank you

if only they had a system in place to use different values for pve and pvp 
truly a mystery
you mean in hm? Or nexus king
why Sub is now S tier on sites like Archon? What changed on last patch that make it jump? Buffs, tier bonus?
Archon is garbage
Archon is not based on warcraft logs statistics ?
Subtlety aoe was already strong, various bug fixes improved it, tier translates well into m+, massively better trinket choice for subtlety
statistics can be misleading
Warrior and rsham are also very strong which subtlety likes
no kidding? lol
I’m not current. Did guild break up or just one person go menty?
anyway, sub is better or not this patch?
Yet DH takes their spot in phys comp xd
Yeah sub is good
Yep :)
well comparing to s2 yea, a lot better
Literally inch'd out by dh and dk rn
Sub is very good in keys & certain raid fights.
still wouldnt go that far to cal it S tier
I mean you have a class which does almost nothing besides damage
what make it jumps on s3? I didnt see the blue posts related to buffs
But one more tuning and sub is likely in
Literal passenger
rain fights r the best
romantic
Smell of rose petals tossed in
BP got buffed by 11% and nimble flurry is now boosted by shadow blades
Why bring subtlety when the havoc has chaos brand chaos nova darkness imprison etc
Although if you are running phys comp I imagine chaos nova might be worse than blind potentially
Why bring a rogue
I imagine phys comp can drop feral and play rogue lowkey
That’s the bigger question
I’m gonna guess ur referring to nexus king burn, have a full clip of prep phase going into burn here #subtlety message . If you have autumn the timings won’t be quite as tight
3% verse is nice but from what ive been seeing prio target dies too fast and sub blasts aoe way harder
Wound poison has some value this rotation
HoA and what Eco?
dont say that! My main is a Feral and let us stay on keys! Just got over 3k IO/715 ilvl and now looking into my alt rogue.
Minimal but it is something
Mark of the wild, battle res....
Hehe i think feral very good this patch
Is havoc still too squishy to take mortal dance?
Yeah but mark and brez arent going to help you when u miss timer
Are you telling me havoc has wound poison 😭
Cause your comp has 200m smallies left alive after prio target dies
Just from what im seeing anyway
why not lol. a good brez can avoid a key to be broked
Yes it’s a choice node with a defensive talent but blade dance applies it aoe
Think it’s 50%
Yeah mortal dance 5% vetter than wound but u lose deflection dance
Last time I pushed on dh you would kinda die without the defensive node though
In some keys
Also wound poison has to stack and can fall off easily
I dont think its legal to drop deflecting once kets get bigger
Like in HoA the big one, echolon will murxer you
Like hoa I imagine the statue explosion just ends u without deflecting
Then it is just a fake PvP talent ig
Rogue can take wound much easier but the dh one is better
Idk im just waiting to see if its all hands on midnight or we get another tuning round tbh too early to say
The pins says to not use Rotten. is that true? I can see on logs ppl still using it.
Surely hunter doesnt stay this way
Rotten is like consistent and some high io people like it, esp in dawn and streets
Bm presses 1 button and outdoes your burst in lust
We are going to play arcane havoc bm and just let the hunter kill the entire dungeon 
Funnel gaming
Xd
@warm marlin are you still pirate in keys
No I’m an arcane mage
until you went blue 
Outlaw stands for OnlyUplayedtBylTomaElvisW
Sub is kinda odd in weeklies man just dies too fast
Was interesting seeing playrate
yeah was gonna mess around with outlaw
Homies exchange carries bringing rats that need 10s
So it’s basically 1.5dps keys
I love having one spec I can’t play until after prog :)
I also redid my ui but it only works for sub and I don’t know where to put rtb 😭
Since I already have all my dinar items this patch I might do outlaw on main guy in raid
I have a feeling parse stuff is gonna be cringe
if I see people getting autumn week 18 I’m gonna be upset
ye
gvie me dinar already, need forge
Footpedal
intense calculations on Dimensius to determine optimal hold send timings
I don’t care anymore I am ignoring premed for burn I’m not missing my clones anymore
The full cringe wa suite this tier is kind of insane
I have both a sectec bar and a coup bar to play around having to chain dance and the sht refund stuff
why I gotta do this
I love sub, I hate what we are
Delayed attacks in my damage window spec 
let’s just recode dfa and fuck up everything.
Casting sectec with 0.4s left on dance and trying to time my recast of dance perfectly around the 0.9s mark so I don’t drop a gcd 
.6s delay 2pc, delayed coup de grace, delayed secret technique
How did it get like this
They fixed the rs bug
And triple downed on it
You will enjoy your delays
big brained sub enjoyers
The best part of dimensius is his hit box being so far away I can’t tell when my sectecs hit out of dance if I ever screw up
Blissful ignorance
I was looking at logs I’m kinda sure I saw a clone hit the other side mass is that a thing
!wa
Hm
I never confirmed that in logs just assumed
I thought I saw secret damage on masses
The phys hit cleaving around you will hit
Yeah no clones are hitting the masses
im p sure the clones dont hit the masses if you send sectech on dim
thats not how it works for us sadly
No Ele can cleave both sides you just hit the boss bro
we are happy if we get another bug
Don’t get too greedy
what does the coup de grace WA Bar do any idea?
yeah… the boss…
Be happy your clones don’t fall into the void
so true
Vanish from logs for eternity
true, could be a rookery situation
I’d like to see the Ele ascendence kill the nullbinders 
can netherprism stacks carry over to boss fights?
e.g. build it up on trash then unload it on boss fight at 18 stacks?
Is there a channel I have to do the ! log command in or can I just post it here?
Hey how do i use netherprism as a sub rogue?
in m+ yes, in raid it resets
!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+Lily: Use Lily with Blades until you have 16+ stacks of Prism, then use prism and hold Lily for next Blades.
ty so for raid, i can just bind it to Shadowblades, since that is my only on-use right?
yes, maybe for some of the fights you'd want a seperate blades keybind incase you want more stacks for adds/dmg amps
sure understand, ty for the tip
can just post it here
!log
I meant hardmode
For hardmode you can prep everything if you want
Cleaving the adds is the way
Yeah take it from our 3 failed hm runs in a row
Just kill the adds
Cc’ing them is way harder especially depending on your comp
I would also recommend a better comp than brew mist warlock sp rogue
Lemme tell you double rop into void tendril into aoe blind went simply hard (they ran around the rop and meleed our cloth wearers to death)
for soulbinder Mythic - for the knockback, can we shadowstep and the puddles drop where we cast the step from?
or does the puddle drop where the shadowstep lands (on top of the boss which will be bad)?
They drop where the shadowstep lands IF you step while in the air
You can step as soon as the puddle appears after you land from the knockback
got it, just wanted to make sure so i dont get yelled at my raid leader 🙏
thank you
Ye, it's def not something I did in my first pug kill 
What I do is get knocked, wait to land, make sure I see the goop, and then step.
@tepid trellis quick question about your dimmy kill pov if you dont mind - do you think skipping rupture in amp like you did is the best way to guarantee 2nd sectech fits?
You can easily fit 2 sectechs anyway given that you prepped
im considering pooling coup from the dance on 2nd voidwarden on 2nd platform and sending potentially an extra symbols to farm up sht stacks instead but i watched your pov where you did the rupture thing and thats infinitely more straightforward
ah ok
i think if i dont coup in that dance and i press symbols right after i still enter p3 with 3x symbols almost
Yea
The rupture does roughly the same amount of damage as an eviscerate does during the amp
So it doesnt matter that much, but it also continues ticking after right
ah ok
i was looking @ logs and no one was prepping the way i wanted to test so i just assumed i was overthinking it
but yeah ill give it a try on monday
bc in my head its really good 
Ya but isn’t it better to get the sectec cdr as well?
I mean its not worth it in the general opener, so i dont see why it would be better here
To use sectech immediately
actually one guy was half doing it but he didnt send the symbols for sht farm
Because of the dmg amp
but he was pooling the coup so i feel ok about that @ least
You get sectech inside the amp anyway
So
It doesnt matter
So the comparison is between an eviscerate and a rupture
You can’t lowroll it if you prep? I feel like it’s been super tight for me except when I sent sectec first
did you ever want to send symbols by itself to farm sht before this tier
Ya ig so
or is this a new development due to fight design
Yes
I did that on mugzee as well
ah ok
When holding dmg
i felt like a genius figuring it out natty at end of dimmy p1
Idk i fit an entire coup in after my sectech
but maybe im slow
Most of the time
and i shouldve been aware way earleir
So its not particularly tight
Did you know you can cancel the stun from dimmy before getting sucked in
tested this prep stuff on heroic and doing real numbers now
i thought i was dead the first time i did it
it's good shit
Same here xd
what is the prep stuff
is this more secret info

do you prep disorient too
Nah dont have the time for that unless you do literally nothing on the second set of adds
all the stuff of holding dmg and stacking up supercharger/sht/coup/etc
But you could
oh ok
i tried it out before the amp on heroic dim, and it seemed a bit sus
like if you mistime it you're boned
but i managed to make it work thank god
I dont think it matters much though since youll be going flag>rupture>backstab (guaranteed natty proc anyway since its more than 20s since you hit) > sectech > get disorienting again
So youre saving the natty proc for until after disorienting
is there a secret trick to target dimmy as youre falling
But youre likely to get a natty reset by that time anyway because BL
he doesnt seem to want to cooperate
very true
You cant target him until you land
grim
if youre doing the slice and dice stuff for nexus king do you have to do it really early to still get sht or is it not that bad
this is some of the most degen stuff i can remember from playing sub
if you use a symbols to prep your sht it's fast
ah ok
i will try it when i am free from extend prison
i redid my keybinds just for this
tbh this is exactly what im looking for and what i miss from ffxiv
i love nonsense like this
finality or the rotton for m+?
seems rather common for this not to be the case
This is with rupture at the start
hey guys, quick question, if I wanna learn the spec better, would it be safe to open a simc full html report and look at the apl section?
(I assume the guides are written with that in mind?)
I would recommend reading the guides instead
have you tried just prepping harder?
we have wiped to nullbinder last set numerous times
Well you still do damage to the nullbinders
I read (past tense) the APL
Its just after they die you symbols and just auto
kinda worth doing exactly once, to understand what the sim is doing exactly
did you also read where raidbots tells you not to do that?
And maybe you could BP instead of coup for your last finishers in dance
why would you not read the APL
think for yourself and explain pls
it's one example from the sequence. if you're actually pulling the apl out of the report and reading that, just read the guide
ah, you don't know what APL means
like, I had to read the APL in order to make edits and test alternative playstyle options
lol
i know what it means, and the sample sequence is often misunderstood for it
the Action Priority List is the code
damn scath, learn what an apl is
also the current apl isnt current unless eleem pushed the latest aoe stuff
but yolo and have at it
your time
I seem to remember struggling to get coup ready
were you holding coup for the nullbinder dance?
yeah that scath dude, absolute idiot 
No
hmm might be it
Dont think you have the time to build again if you do
The guides are after the apl though right? The only reason I am asking is because, I am a bit special and I get a bit overwhelmed/confused when there's 3 different guides available
and Id rather just go straight to the source
my comp is very bad at the last set i dont think i have that liberty to hold there
unfort
the APL is just the currently solved best playstyle given buff and debuff and resource checks, it creates what the sim does. If that is your style, go ahead and read it - but the code is not too friendly and will take more time to interpret the exact meaning versus reading a guide
I’m not entirely convinced I’ll have a singular good prep for p3 before we kill
Thanks
our p2 plat is still quite messy and without autumn your damage holds have to be so perfectly timed
it should be fairly easy to read tbh ^^
I'd suggest reading a guide first - which I assume you've already done probably - and trying to interpret the APL off of that
it's easy to read, just assumes a basic understanding of logic operations (and it is much more brainpower than reading a guide that is designed to be easily interpreted)
all 3 guides cover the same material in slightly different explanations. if one isn't making sense look at the other two. all three guide writers are in here and work together. the method guide is likely the most straight forward.
How many ShT stacks

Ok guess I’ve just been beyond unlucky or messed something up in the past
You dont have autumn? Im so sorry
Our p2 is also quite messy, its been the silliest things to like a missed grip or gate

Just have to actually get there xd
