I think kush ran a DB build In something but not gonna auto copy that untill it’s been verified by a big brain in here.
anyway this is the cook if u wanna play around
Big numbers
only 2 symbols is very weirdge
I’ll check it out. Still in DH jail for awhile tho.
can anyone check this log and tell me how the fuck theres so much dps difference between me and the other two? i don't see where this massive gap comes from since i don't feel like i played any bad. +13 Arakara
i mean you drop deeper dags for it too
why are you not rupturing mobs on the way to the first miniboss?
good question
youre casting storm in dance on the first pull
that was for rotten most likely
if youre running rotten you storm after sod outside of dance
run finality. rotten is shiet
(they're both fine, but rotten likely isnt needed).
you're pressing evis a lot
so yeah you're missing some of the basics
!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).
@haughty rose multiple storms so not fw
maybe out of dance, timeline and cast arent aligning exactly
That dance shows a cast time of 3:45 
And if it’s out of dance you’re missing globals in dance
ok thanks
but would this explain a gap of almost 3B? After all i have some decent MFO HC logs so i can't be that bad
keys and raid are different
i mean sure. but not once have i had such a massive gap this season
i'm rarely last
you were in there 25 minutes. which means max you'd have is 16 flag casts. you had 13
likely could have at least got one more set in
you asked for feedback, i'm giving it. do what you want with it mate
yea it might not seem much but delaying things adds up
like sometimes it seems a waste to pop cds on a pull but it takes a bit of knowledge how to make that effort
other times it is better to send it
meanwhile on fury, do I have bladestorm up for pull. 
yeah no i'm not disagreeing at all sorry if i made it seem so that wasn't my intention
yeah this might explains it. that tank was constantly chain pulling which i'm not used to and sometimes the CD's came back up when the pack was at half health so it felt wasted
(not blaming the tank btw)
yeah i learned this today and did it one or two times
anyone have or know of a plater profile that supports Phased targets etc?
wdym fake news?
ecodome 18 db build
guys im cooking
I am for real
cooking
siren siren emoji
where goremaw pv build
how come i gain a shadowcraft proc sometimes when only using symbols by itself?
If u start at 7 without premed and sod u proc your shadowcraft
its a bug
typical
trying to find a simpler way to track the cp refunds for the shotgun, i guess technically it is a full shadowcraft refund
!log
could some1 maybe look at my dawn log? I thought i did fine but its only 37%.. Startet sub this season so im kinda new
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.

Yeah it actually felt like season 3 df with sod downtime
sir we do not joke about 
when use thustle tea build and ice cold one
Anyone know what this debuff is? I can't seem to find it in details, and I've set plater to only show my debuffs
Bombardment from scalecommander evokers
Oh okay, thank you
Im fairly sure atleast its that
It was yeah
Ah right. There's also one from paladin's that I've seen but haven't yet got rid of heh
Hey all, in raid fights if we are talented into shiv when are we dropping it in the rotation ?
Shiv is utility
why is my 710 Antenna still simming better than the 710 Ritual forge
Funny story, even if I turn on hekili, goremaw is never recommended as a button press
on dimmensius we are not sectech later living mass?
i check like 4 logs and nobody do
Hello.
I made my video guide for a subtlety lens. Where can I post it for you to watch?
Remember, I speak Spanish and use a translator.
you danger killing it too early
and making you wipe because it revives
Hola.
hice mi vídeo guía para un objetivo del sutileza, donde lo puedo dejar para que lo vean?

Hello.
I made my video guide for a subtlety lens. Where can I post it for you to watch?
Remember, I speak Spanish and use a translator. : )
you should
if you want to do more overall
if you sectech boss it wont hit the mass
yeah i get that
i can like sectech add and than ignore it as im dropping poop in back anyway
Can you pass the link here?
nope
And where can you go to share it among the Subtleties?
point 3
for the delve waist what ability are we suppose to use on it ?
is it still worth using ? doesnt sim higher for me but maybe cause i wasnt using the right abilty on iy
it*
damn i sended my P3 cds withnout second dance ready:D i did tank dmg in p3
insane
still logged
how do u stack netherprism before dung start? :p
you hit the dummy
no
you wait for the key holder to put the key
then you go out
then go in when the golden bubble timed out
best done if you dont have a crappy HDD and loading screens take 30 secs
so beware
they may have hotfixed it now, stacks of netherprism dissappear when entering a dungeon, even before keys in
rip
I tried it last night. Maybe my timing was off but it reset my prism stacks
@alpine wraith ty!
you need to enter after bubble is down but if what kevin said is truye
just unluck
We are cooked
Never even got around to doing it in any key that matters
Was kinda obnoxious to stack for 3 min before key tho
Yeah thats cringe

o/ everyone. outside cd's in aoe scenario do we usually spamming shuriken strorm & bp or backstab & bp for gaining coup?
Anyone can help me? What am i doing wrong here? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gTfhJPnMw1k2XZpH?type=damage-done&cutoff=2&fight=46
build with storm outside dance if 2+ targets
dont build with it in dance even in aoe
nobody in the top 50 flags on pull: https://lorrgs.io/spec_ranking/rogue-subtlety/forgeweaver-araz, you've got cold blood macrod to secret technique which is a dps loss, you want a seperate cb + st macro, and st just by itself. you flagged at 2s and used shadowblades at 35s with potion for some reason. You didnt use dance back to back on your second flag/blades. you sent symbols used 2 finishers then used sectec so it wasn't supercharged (outside of dance) and then used dance 2 gcds later.

Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
What build you using that has tea in it?
M+ build on wowhead has tea by default, you can run cb aswell, its preference
i will check it for sure, i used pot cuz i used shadow blades on adds, it's not nexusking it's araz
yes on araz nobody flags on pull sorry, just had the nexus king up cause i was looking at it: https://lorrgs.io/spec_ranking/rogue-subtlety/forgeweaver-araz

oh now my life is over
good thing i got to go to work tomorrow so i can study wowhead and this stuff
Would it be worth to macro flagellation with shadowblades?
No
how much st do you lose with db build? + -
How do you properly like up cds in m+, and what do you do when you dont have cds? Feels like I am doing no damage outside of cds
Or when I want to save them for next pack
in a pug just rip them on cd if the pack isn't about to insta die
you do no damage outside of cds
thats kind of subtlety's thing
You can send a dance with sod and sectech
as long as flag and sb arent back soon
it's still ok damage especially if you land the double coup cast inside
anyone reckon sub or anyone will get buffs soon? Feels like 0 tuning is being done lol
another mage/dk+x meta is fucking boring
2 plus the 2 inside that window yeah?
Just stop pressing CDs at 30 seconds left on flag
only thing I'd pay attention to
I legit dont know how many I get in between
ok

Whats the best way to send double on use trinkets? Playing prism/lily atm.
Do I just send lily all the time with big cds and prism only with a lot of stacks?
!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.
Legend. Tyty
is there any 1h sword/mace/axe/fist worth offhanding for any reason this season?
Nop
no
never has never will '
Next expac (probably maybe)
Off topic. Is there a place to see all ! commands? Would love to go through it instead of asking questions if possible
DK being top single target and AOE is ridiculous right now.
even if they are undergeared they do so much damage
I was topping st or competitive with DH
But im also starting with 18 stack prism
is it still working, I tried today and couldn't get it to work

Here is a log of one of my db runs if youd like
Lil scuffed cause i got invisible swirld at the start of the key
Why might a Cold Blood have a 35-41% use in M+?
Better boss dps, holdover from last season. Some people dont like tea
Key dependant as well
I'm not a fan of Tea for Sub
!relog
I think the tea auto-proc just feels bad
and so people prefer the option that they consistently control
auto tea should just be a setting option, or automatically on if you are using the single-button rotational assist (but I think they added auto tea before single-button)
Tea is great
You only occasionally feel not having energy while with cb you can actually run out in cds
nobody except the mouthbreathers on wow forums like it probably
i dont think even reddit likes it
Hey everyone! I'm new to Rogue and I'd love to share my armory with you. Feel free to let me know if there's anything I could optimize, if I'm making any mistakes, or if I'm missing any items, embellishments, or anything else. I'd really appreciate any advice!
@keen dome 2/8m on woyer. monday night pug life! 
how many globals is it we should have in our cd's ... 10?
Typically 8 for a regular dance but depends on how many coups bc it’s 1.2sec
!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.
Is there anyway to see if unseen blade is available or not? I am getting confused in the AOE rotation. Procing unseen blade with Eviscerate is a higher priority than casting black powder. I know unseen blade has a cooldown of 20s but Thousand cuts can reset the cooldown. So is there anyway of seeing that Unseen blade is ready or no?
Evsicerate does not proc unseen blade
Coup de Grace, the proc you get when youve done 4 unseen blades is what has higher prio than black powder
sorry i meant backstab
If you are confused and not feeling confident at all i would just recommend to do the singletarget rotation on aoe, except swap backstabs outside of dance for shuriken storm
Until you get more comfortable with the spec
ty also is putting rupture on multiple targets really better than black powerder in AOE? i am assuming that once you have enough targets in the AOE blackpoweder gets higher value right?
If you have replicating shadows specced (which most aoe setups do) theres no target count where you wouldnt rupture outside cds
You might not rupture because the targets are dying too soon or they dont matter (think small murlocs in gambit)
TY TY that makes sense
a
which cds can i macro together without trolling my damage out of shadow dance/symbols/shadow blade/tea?
along with 13/pot
trying to consolidate keybinds
cb sectec in the damage amp without autumn 
ty for the help squad tried skipping the second last ring and died and just locked in the regular way

I'm ready to perfect this for like 200 more pulls only to fail on the kill

i wanna say 90% of sub rogues I've looked at, pop dance then sob. I have a muscle memory of doing it the other way around, is that a lose or pmuch neutral?
Did u winner?
20%
So I'm using a macro to cast cold blood/secret technique but in certain areas and dungeons it just stops working. like karesh or the dungeons here
I'd appreciate help if anyone knows the work around

oh...so sorry. I tried google and didnt get answers. I will try that. Ty
sod -> dance is probably better since youre going to waste less time in dance physically pressing the sod button
thats what I've been thinking. guess i could just swap the buttons around and act like nothing changed lmao

i just bind SoD 9/10 im using it with sectec anyway
I have 3 sectec bind
symbols + sectec + blades
symbols + sectec + blades + prism
symbols + cold blood + sectec
i can use the first bind as just a symbols bind if im not holding cds
There are lots of times where you’d want sectec on the second supercharged finisher though
i know, but that almost relies on coup
all i will say is this, sure you can teach people to be optimal, but also being suboptimal still can get orange parses on heroic
and it lifts a shit tonne of cognitive load
Ofc
like i get it, if someone is planning to main sub and is preparing to stick with it, learn the ins and outs, lazy macros will be a hinderance in the end. but if it's fotm or a reroll for a tier or 2? i think it's fine
suboptimally binding symbols won't be why your parses are blue, lets just say that

Why sectec before blades?
Oh kk
i assume you are talking about pulling sectecs cd? or for coup. i jsut settle with holding coup till after sectec, and as long as im not holding blades windows i can effectively use the top macro as a standalone symbols to pull
only thing is, this doesn't work out for me on forgeweaver or soul hunters, big sad
lol
eh idk even then its just
i innevitably favor pressing buttons over waiting for the 3 dh's to be stacked, bozo move
like forgeweaver, the only real important one that they line up is 1min50ish
then the obvious send on amp
soul hunters is basically on cd
but also those 2 fights dont really matter
I feel like soul hunters always split just as you start sending cds
Yeah exactly. Lots of times you need to send supercharged coup at 15 sec left on sectec to get the cb sectec in the first dance
yeah but lorgs is saying everyone is basically sending flag on cd
so even if theyre jumping away
just sit on the one that has another dude next to it
Ye I do it as well
That’s something I’ll never get actually
So many blue parsers will know tiny optimizations for their spec
too much focus on doing the optimisation that their gcd is longer than the 1 button
Any1 know if there is a bug for resi 16? Timed all 16s but my key is still resi 15
You have to get it up to 16 first
It doesn’t gain a key level
Oh
did you guys maybe not actually time one?
Ye it doesn’t get increased resil straight away
What do u mean
You have to change the key
with double on-use trinkets (prism + lily) should i only unleash prism when fully stacked? (also kinda same question if i run only prism + proc trinket, is it better to hold it for fully charged or just send it with every shadowblades?
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 im struggling with sub am i better to play assa in 16s?
sometimes my tanks just pull everything away the moment i press buttons or mechanics make me struggle to get my burst in
never knew anyone even played aug tbh

rotten is simming 0.8% ahead of finality for Dslice
🤔
Was it a smol pull dungeon? Or whats the reason for no bp
ecodome
big guy dies fast
Do we know by now what the requirements will be to purchase the raid trinkets in the new patch?
boss kill necessary afaik
Best thing you can do is make a dk
i want to play rogue man
same
Rogue has nothing besides damage
am i meant to be using the rotten in M+?
guides are saying not to but all the good subs are using it
so how to get invites? make a dk yea?
u should be able to play any class until 15
so if i want to push play dk or bm yea
why wouldnt you want to push on the class you are most comfortable with
cause im bored to play mage
🕵️
thats why im playing rogue cuz its fun
Assa gets invited more than
but i forgot wow community plays fully around meta in highkeys
But its very sleeper to play
Theres like 500 sub rogues and 490 of them dont even play m+
If u get my point
Idk i barely played assa
i have 3350 io currently and i am rank 8 on my realm so
so yea sub barely has competition
Neither does Assa tbf
If you open top rogues most of them are playing assa probs
or outlaw
you either play your key or you dont play

i play my own kmey and its depleted in 2 seconds
so yea buying hc boost for my low ass dk then
i know that frost is hard braindead
Chillplay
- ur unkillable
@queen plinth find a premade phys comp and go push If u want to play sub in higher keys
tanks this season are beyond boosted
and you can't be picky either because there are so few of them/all the good ones are already doing higher keys
sending hate from denmark
(And he is actually a human)
Hello, I am playing sub trickster, and I am always fumbling the rotation in AOE - but, why is it 4 ore more targets for black powder since eviscerate cleaves up to 7 targets?
Im always res 17 and i still have floodgate and priory on 15

Those 2 keys dont exist
deals more dmg
and if I have a coup de grace proc, should I keep it to use it with shadow dance/symbols even if those are going to take a while to come back up?
i don't have 4 set yet
not sure if it makes a difference
Black powder is just artificially inflating your overall, not actually making the key faster tbh
Im not sure hows the Command
If you’re not playing with a havoc and arcane you probably should evisc the high hp targets instead of padding
But i think its sectech>coup>bp(above 4target)>evis
That is purely overall and not what is actually good to do in m+ tho
Like i said bp will do more damage since youre padding
the prio diff between pressing BP or evis is very little
yea
most of your prio comes from shadowstrike/unseen blade procs and Coup
and ofc sectech
buff evis !!!
Make sub funnel again
bring back shuriken combo
shuriken combo with coup de grace would go hard
i think it should make a comeback
becaseu it seems like it isn't creating the problem blizz assumed it would
we would have seen it removed on assassiantion by now else
arcane buffs black powder?
weird - prio rotation seems to sim relatively worse on 4 targets than 8 targets
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/b3ZGYzn8R55VSLQyGgJRmg
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dzCiDoops98ipkyawwm6xi
meaning its better to bp at 4 and evis at 8?
no it's still more dmg to bp at 8
hehe
what's the dps loss to just BP in ST unless coup is up? 
well it does about 20-25% less than an evis
Thats straight up int
if evi is ~15% of your total dmg
i get flamed a Lot for oneshotting funnel though 
i miss dfa, such a fun ability
you could time it to be immune to stun while flying to her as well
best ability ever added to the game but they had to remove it cuz they hate us
ayre it had a lot of fun interactions, and it felt good to use
the maiden tech was crazy
at the time a lot of ppl complained about it iirc, but i loved it
It bugged out a lot iirc
At least in wod
Oneshotting people on assa with dfa was peak though
it was sub 1-shotting in wod
assa could as well with nightstalker
vanish into dfa would delete
does it really matter if you use everforged weapons or gene splicers? Always see everyone use atleast one splicer... Whats the reason for this? Only due to the 3 extra item level at mythic?
yes
main hand is the biggest upgrade per ilvl for rogue
was like 1.1% upgrade for me
whats the difference between everforged stabber and myth gene splicer
its barely anything no?
.
ah
It was nowhere near that much for me, but it's still always going to be better than not and unless you are the 16th rogue in your guild you're gonna get one very quickly in mythic.
Hence everyone has it
well started the game a little over a week ago havent really gotten into mythic raids yet
I mean I also went from 720 everforged + 710 gene splicer to 723 gene splicer + 720 everforged
so there's also some stats on offhand involved
im using a 720 stabber and 704 gene splicer
what's your char name
Kjellkåre
what server
Draenor
Yeee you'll get it when you get it, its NBD off hand upgrade is small comparatively
I probably have to think about joining a guild before even attempting mythic raids
and Im missing the reshii wraps boot proc thingy aswell, havent dropped yet from raids. Probably will increase my damage a bit
dang
you should prob look into putting an embellishment on your weapon as well ;D
your wrist embellishment does nothing currently
someone told me embellishment on weapons were crap or something
I mean embellishments in general aren't that big
but there's no reason not to put it on
true ig
you have an embellishment on your wrist that makes nerubian embellishments twice as good
but no nerubian embellishment
nono embellishments are the things you put in crafted items, granting them extra effects
ahhh
there are 2 embellishments you would choose from with those wrists: symbiosis or ascension
they're pretty much equal

i dont know much bout crafting lmao
sadly not, you have to recraft
bruh
you don't have to use another spark on it
is there anything to use it on
ye ring or neck would prob be a good craft for you
Sparks are the base requirement for making a crafted item.
I have use two sparks and I have one more, but no clue waht to use it on
So if you want a new item, you need a spark. Or if you want to take an old item to the new seasonal iLevel. Think of them as the seasonal identifier for crafted stuff.
Sim and see, you can sim all crafted items.
this is where I'd try and get familiar with raidbots
👍 ill do some testing
gl!
probably wont switch this one out tho
no I would def not recommend that xd
thanks for help 🙂
That's a real good ring, yeah. Probably gonna last you the whole season into Midnight.
fwiw this sim also has fiber upgrade
Which is something else you should upgrade, just need to get one crafted
ah true

im using mega medallion
What you guys cloaking on p1 dimensius
no it depends on your stats
at what point should I think about crit strike then
when the sim tells you so
when we gate at like 1:45
dont trust healers
Really
yeah whenever we made it there
i felt in danger
now i just cloak
its like
the bit leading up to the gate
because people arent used to movement
so i figure healers aren thealing as much
Im playing poop there too
I will be doing gravity there and than placing poop
Aren't they supposed to like gate first/last

like it lacked critical discussion
i think a lot of the super high end players are kind of out of touch with the people below them you right
Nah, but his video was fun
It's cool to see people doing it
aye
Esp like, big content creators who typically don't pug to 3k
I’m at 2996.3 should I make a vid?
cause i got 3k by pugging 2nd season in a row, this one even went smoother
barely wiped any
gonna do a series where I pug to 3k and invite the worst possible choices to every key
ye same, it's not a big deal. Pugging to 3k is extremely easy and chill
tho i did some early keys with my guild
Carried an assa rogue in a 12 priory.
i'm staying strong with sub
but usually when i get to 10+ range i go stag
But it's cool to see a very high end player and content creator who typically only plays with their community or non-pug people actually experincing that side of the game
(whoops that other screenshot sucks)
the argument was "the seasonal affix is too punishing" -- following the massive drop in popularity with the new affix system
Then the discussion moved quickly into arguments which would discuss the problem.
But just as a good argument formed, the entire podcast went back to "NAH, skill issue, blizz does perfect"
nice
It is a very different world.
It really is
a lot of those players have ties to blizz so they'll take their side more than other people would
Yeah
which for me killed the entire concept of a podcast, because the main thing i would listen is to have diffrent opinions and positions discussed.
It's why I really want them to experience more of the side of the game I play.
We did a 12 priory last season (fairly early) with someone from Liquid on a druid alt. The pulls were insane. We had 24 deaths I think and still timed it by 2 minutes.
yeah
Imo a good Podcast should have multiple povs
the interesting thing to me was listening to the rank 1 key pushers would are completely out of touch with how people who barely make title are playing the game
I'm lucky I get to play with some very very good players who for some reason put up with me, but i'm also a puglord.
the only time ive played with rwf players was in legion and they depleted my darkheart thicket key
They are aware though that they are the minority
If you make too many friends you’re no longer a puglord. 
true
my favorite was ellesmere going on about how he only pays attention to cc and kicks when he's looking for a good player to push with, and dps doesn't matter
Once you raid high enough or do m+ high enough you reach that quite fast
But that should be the goal
but then i realized the rank 1 key pushers all do rank 1 damage
I'm def less of one this season as I did 3k with my tank buddy who plays at a top100 level so that's def cheating
so it's not the same
im stuck pugging 16s it's hell
But we mostly pugged the other 3 players
maybe 1h to get into a group x)
And then despaired as we kept getting healers who refused to push DPS buttons EVER
I think we in a sense see this discussions in theis channel too
e.g. sometimes between me and guy
it definitely does happen yeah
Sub is easy 
I'm glad I can have a voice about it in here too as an almost exclusively raid pugger / low Mythic player.
'Cos it's a very different game
Both tbf
where i tend to look at it as a general concept across contents and for an entire season
We’re good for HoF. Spec is perfect.
guy is more towards last (two) bosses of a raid fight for the first ~month of a tier
We're also extremely valuable in a pug setting which is interesting to me.
both are valid positions
Because being able to adjust stuff as needed to support group weaknesses is a pretty unique niche.
i found it problematic
a side note, is there a way to get rid of the red ground effect from dev vokers? Played my first keys with one last night and that shit hides everything in melee
e.g. playing with a DH in the group
many of the stuns i can use are just on massive dr or immune already
which elminitaes a big part of the ability to fix mistakes
i agree with your end here
how a spec performs matters across the entire season when you bring M+ into the mix
it makes a massive difference how a spec performs beyond the first month
we should always try to save coup proc for shadow dance window so it does 30% more damage right?
M+ is actually the other end of the spectrum where how a spec is performing at the END of the season is more important than the beginning
only if you also have flagallation for it
The argument “it doesn’t matter” cracks me up since it still matters for us getting CE or whatever 2-3 months in
oh if blades + flag is on CD.
Shadowdance is maybe about 10 seconds away. Can we hold a coup proc just for a naked Dance?
m+ was the content we saw very large power swings
All of the sudden I do no ST dmg and the adds aren’t important and now are pad
dance is not impactful enough on its own
basically think of it like this
your blades/flagellation have the most damage
which is why holding coup for it makes sense
sub being really good in keys right now means absolutely nothing if they tune everything else higher and don't touch sub and let it fall behind
Are your 2x or 1x on use
i don't have forge yet so i'm prism+antenna
so you rather trade off a bit of damage during dance, for having more dances or better cooldown alignment during 90 sec ones
my guild rolls off gear so i'm at the mercy of rng
I’m legit torn on it. I know it’s legit impossible to maximize full use of both (quantity of cast wise), but it really feels like it leans into what sub should be doing in keys.
This is much better than the i give loot to my friends that been with the guild for 6 years
loot distribution is a big discussion topic always
honestly i need to play with it to know for sure haha
but eleem had an interesting point about how you're sitting on stuff way too long playing double on use in keys
We do LC and it works well enough. Loot generally isn’t our issues for prog.
i simmed it and antenna needed to have something like 85% miss rate for it to be worse than forge
in dslice
one thing people forget is also that antenna gives a lot of agi
Our gm gives out loot based of upgrade % on wowaudit
I think at the keys you’re doing, you’re likely not. It does get sketch in 12-13s
true, i don't sit on cds too much yeah
tho i think what makes forge + prism so good is boss fights
because you can forge -> antenna
I think having actual human tanks also makes prism/forge better
it does, and a LOT of crit
*forge - prism
for sure
On most pugs I find forge lining up better than prism with flag, and I’m usually sitting on prism.
and bosses are many times a problem
so they might give you a bigger time safe
overall
i think forge+prism plays more into what makes sub already so strong in keys, which is mega burst
is there any boss currently where it doesn't make sense to macro both prism and forge into shadow blades?
I laugh that both specs I’m enjoying are boss dmg focused in keys
last 2
sacrifacing agility from antenna is worth having a stacked on use every cds though no?
the base agility is a Lot actually though so idk
oh yes you are right, i totally forgot about the CDR!
Is there any situation we send a naked sTec.
e.g. just symbols + sTec with no dance?
I ran pacemaker and prism on forge and didn’t notice an overall difference.
it's not just base agi, it's a lot of crit too
Yea
when holding dance+symbols for next cd window and you have +30 seconds till flag
Im overcapped on crit with 2 orbs
so you're getting higher crit during cds, which is not negligible
not with symbols though
you technically can send naked secrets, but its very risky to do so we will usually avoid that
but If you play double on use you dont have to chase the orbs
I have transmitter ptsd
sure got it
yes, 1 main benefit is not chasing orbs yeah
i understand this. ill try to avoid doing this
another thing is deaths are probably more punishing depending when you die when playing forge+prism
you can also tactically delay the pickup
^^
Yea
guys our BIS trinket is
- prism + forge
- prism + antenna
- prism + pace maker
assuming all are the same item level e.g. heroic 710
which option would you prefer?
I'd take forge
Probs bis for m+ prism antenna
but that's because I haven't tried playing forge yet
just started progging salarbar so i REALLY REALLY want forge
ive played around with both combinations
- forge + pacemaker on short fights
1 is the most common plyed
2 or 3 is somewhat more comforatbale on any fight you don't want to hold cooldowns
and I miss having actual huge opener
tue
i don't have forge too
got it... with forge having that big pump opener must feel real good..
i dont have forge either lol!
Poggers
rolled a 78 the other day on heroic forge. but our warlock won it with a 87 roll
I hope we down soul hunters this week
Not really i find it very frustrating how people cant dodge the beams
70% of the salad bar left
i swear hunters are rolling on netherprism. is that even good for them?
Got to intermission with 1 hour of prog
Especially as ranged
It’s giga on dark ranger BM
Only 30% of jail time done 
Better for them than us (debatable)
After tuning especially
Cant wait for next saladbar nerfs
!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.
ok fair enough. hunters have been rolling on rogue gear since TBC.
e.g. Madness of the Betrayer, Dragonspine Trophy
think sub is the one spec with the most obviouse benefits from netherprism
the rage I get from them winning the roll for those trinkets still exist today
We do vault prayer circle in 3 hours 
Always prepot before Opening vault
Ngl if forge and prism showed up in same vault idk which Id take
not with kill times dropping.
I don’t have forge or antenna yet it’s so cursed
prism 100p
I don’t think it’s that obvious, but I’d be fine having that problem with my vault. Hahah
bis for both mm and bm
i actually have champion prism, and after simming heroic prism.
its only a 0.6% dps increase on ST.
of course if i get a mythic one thats a different story. But i doubt so, since we have not killed Mythic Fractillus yet
btw, can we get Mythic Fractillus loot if we never killed him before?
e.g. we killed Mythic Plexus + Soulbinder
thanks for the tips i ran arakara again right now, tried to follow all of your tips and did 0,57M dps more
to add onto the rotten discussion, i just simed talents again and rotten sims 2,1% better which is quite drastic. is there a possibility rotten or finality are simed wrong?
Current is just some random build btw
how are you simming?
only if you killed king nexus or dimensius mythic
damn mythic Dimensius 
I can look later. You should sim the crit meta gem and force 4 colors. Should be an increase.
I mean its how it is if you kill one boss you unlock the previous ones, it was an answer to your question. with what you killed you unlocked plexus, soulbinder and loom table in vault
if i killed Plexus + Soulbinder, Loom loot table is unlocked in vault?
yes
If you kill frac, soul hunters is in vault.
loomithar counts as 2nd boss
ok yeah i look into gems later thanks
damn that's good to hear that!
Loom drops a mythic dagger if i recall
and antenna
You may have to “remove gems” from gear for it to work correctly.
slightly less dps increase for rotten build with flask, pot and meta comp (war, sham, DH) raid buff
will do
!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.
this?
Thanks
Oh wow
Who thinks rogue is meta lol
Its def not bad in M+
Yeah but not meta
when siming gems, do i have to choose the "only max colors" option? i just simed it without it and the result was crit+vers gem on every socket except 1 for diamond
the trick is to not bother simming gems
!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.
you are not the only dps applying, if they have 20 applicants what's meta barely matters for a +10
would save me from some headache for sure but my inner nerd needs to be fed
Surprisingly I have no issues getting into groups this season
I think only max color forces you to have 4 diff gems to satisfy meta reqs
so choosing every gem that would make slightly sense, and choose "replace existing colors" is enough right? i'm just surprised that crit+vers on everything sims the best
Actually simming my gems and making blasphemite do something gave me 40k+ dps for free
I mean that's part of why it's not really worth simming gems. the point i guess is to see which would come out on top, but it's pretty minimal difference
40k sounds bigger than .1% gain
Current gem setup
This.
well whatever the gems cost was 
who the fuck bought out all of the blasphemites btw
The same person
Goblins
With way too much gold
i mean they're all made from blasphemites, but whoever it was fucking played the market real good ig
i cant say but i made a Lot from flipping gems
You also need it for neck and rings if I recall correctly
just buy out everything and set your own price for reset day
People dont care they will Pay
all of them do, and it's kind of a pain to manually make them even as an alch
Yeah
And people are def going for heroic rings
I wish I had bought 1000 blasphemite last season and not the palty 15 I bought for personal use
I wish i bought like 100000 settings when they cost 1k
yea I thought they wre too expensive at that price too. how wrong I was
Is it
Right now there’s only 7000 avail. Even at 1700g a sm cartel could buy everything
Pretty sure its very cheap
Relative to some other ones
You dont need to spend a couple of hundred thousands for legendaries for example
Shadowlands legendary costs still keep me up at night
yea but u get to keep the legendary
but I get to keep my enchants too bro
Until next tier ye
btw, has BIS enchants always shifted like it has this expansion?
At least enchants don’t get tuned every other patch forcing you to rebuy them
I cant rly say cuz ive only been playing for 2 years
My friend that has played His entire life said its hella expensive this szn
I think I have a bit better of an idea on how to make money for midnight though
Might be a bit expensive for a last patch, but early patches in the expac are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than it is currently
weren't weap enchants going for like 10k or some shit?
Like r3 weapon enchants were costing like 150k the first few weeks
At the start its always been like that
ah forgot a 0
kinda weird though, this season def more expensive than last season
like all of the enchanting mat prices have gone up and aren't coming down
last season you had vendor exploits for mats for enchanting
Ladies and Gentlemen, may the RNG gods bless your vault today
Those are gone
is anyone running
I’d also guess delves aren’t being run as much
Cursed crit
ST sim, but I'm still 
hey guys, looking for some soulñhunter guidance. Do ye hold Dance if you know the DUSKBLADE dash is coming ina second and we all run to or do yOU send anyway ? it seems i have dance up as duskblade dashes and of coruse we all follow and moving out of ST?
ty my man

like having full mythic clear nearly and 3.5k but +10 nah decline. I cant handle
pugging is insane
ya forgot he had a video, wastched him alot hes sick on Assa last tier aswell
At 10s I’m assuming you’re a troll. 
you get hurt sooooo many times by high io Andy’s at that level
zero patience
or wtf is an affix
Im never queueing a 10 again
I refuse to play affix with randoms
12 only for weekly
Crestmaxxing
why? that you are overqualified for a 10 doesn't guarantee an invite
i think i'm siming wrong. it only shows the same gem on every piece/in every row and not different gems like in your sim
I’m running slice now. Hold please.
You need to check max colors if ur simming gems
yeah but just doing weeklys. Idk its insane
They’re not necessarily weekly for the people you’re trying to run with
I pugged first 2 of mythic last night. That was wild.
We had a 6/8 crash out after 2 pulls. lol
Yeah true. I didnt pug much this season apart from some higher keys.
lol
Replaced with a 7/8 mage that was on vacation for their dim kill. He was blastin
At the 10 level the 26-2800 io groups are usually chill
Over that and it’s either try hard or mechanic ignorers
12s are kinda hit and miss but no affix is nice
I’ll legit run my 3 delves on reset for crests. It’s often faster than sitting in LFG and running the dungeons
ATP if you have hands and do damage you can solo a 10
enjoy your dps gains
why is rotten simming more man i cba playing it
that'll be $5
Do you all sit and wait bit for invites for M+ as well? When I don’t run with my guild, I sometimes find myself waiting at least 30 minutes for someone decides they don’t mind a rogue for M+
tfb i dont think the unpdated apl is in, they're extremly close and it doesnt matter
depends on key lvl
if ur pushing playing rog is a queue simulator
if u cba waiting for invites just make red class

red class
what's fun is you can see the setup they had at 7.7, my gear change to 8.4 then the talents to 8.5
the new melee light blue class
rotten is bis
stop hating
Finality propaganda !!!
🤓 👆🏼
rotten just likes the hard opener, change my mind
wym hard opener
I do not know what this means
forcing sod + rotten out of dance
ah
isn't pratical always in keys with SoD being the actual fuel tank for cds
Yeah trying for anything 10+ has me waiting long unless I’m running with the guild
Sod storm dance bs sectech
To spread fw?
Yep
Oh
Idk
Cba extra steps finality on top
Just have coup up and nado 
you can just storm with finality and spread FW
I would not mind smoke bomb again for pve
The finality and rotten fight needs to end we need to fight the nado players
📠
sorry, now a storm enjoyer. bladestorm goes brrrr
will put down the rotten enjoers and their pack o lies
tldr, it dont matter
finality better tho
Dark brew 

Is there a viable dark brew build?
Did they fix the sec tech prepull for Disorienting?
my coups are not proccing now wtf
Still worked for me yesterday
💦
did they also fix the prism stacks staying after re-entering dungeon?
if they did that's awesome
maybe it didnt work cuz I sec tech a dummy outside a dungeon
!atro
