Yes disorienting removes the annoying rng
Was checking logs and I got it like 17 pulls in a row
Full clones
No lust
The math should be something like .3s from the final clone delay, .4s from both coups so it’s very close within the final .3s every time but it should be essentially guaranteed
or it has been for me
does a /reload work for the loading screen key start prism tech?
What is that
I don't wanna chase down a specific message, but what's the forbidden tech?
!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.
It seems to have a secondary impact that I didn’t think about, which is that the normal human delay can be the millisecond difference between your final clone being in tfd or not
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
but it should be the case that since sht is only pseudo rng you can get the full cb sectec off every time. It might be slightly reliant on a wind fury proc but I’m not sure
!talents
!guide
At least in keys it’s way more reliable with windfury vs not
It seems like people are not going with the Wowhead talent build(I am looking at Archon.gg). Any idea why?
Builds are similar. We have a lot of shitty talents.
just stick with tea replicating shadows with finality if you don't know what to take
Swap tea to cold blood when you get more comfy
Vigor is easier to learn with / more enjoyable to start imo
also just better than cb in keys imo
and in like dawn or stree cold more
way easier to spam feint
yea
no assa fixes, no sub buffs. log back on your dh
having 18 prism stacks and blades ready and seeing a 4 mob pull 
Get in line with your assa fixes.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
trust its coming
laundry fucking list of sub fixes way ahead of your little tier set issue
is it me or does the FB 4p sometimes not work?
The DH or the fixes. 
i mean the 10%+ aoe nerf without even a patchnote who cares about tierset
too bad so sad
? whats that
read pins
Sub ST buffs not happening
We do too much aoe
The devs can not fathom this trap they’ve put themselves in
As if they’re even looking at it. They’ll see assa dip below the 50% mark and just flat buff it
You can tell they are mind krangled by the way they were buffing bp early
They have no idea what sub even does
no one does. lol
oh its old
The solution is simple though
Assa just isn’t used to not getting patch notes updates. 
short term sure
Here me out, sec tech buff
Buff black powder
Buff dance and buff BP
Then the final step
Because they have no clue
Buff rupture
Never use eviscerate always black powder
and you fix some of the sub problems
That can be a mini step
sick idea
Let him cook
Reapplications of rupture cause the remaining damage to happen instantly
dude wants to BP in ST -so- much

basically the spells you would want to buff:
- Rupture - because rupture right now is kinda meh
- Evis - because BP is compared to it too strong
- Secret - just moving it from 5 -> 8 target soft cap would be very helpful
We do
we arn't insane in aoe
delete bp
the only reason we see play atm is a busted trinket
I want to be the best in the game
or well two
i feel like we are quite good in aoe
Maybe not in good ole weekly 12s, but if you're in a push group with frost dk + mm 😭
You know I was once a delete bp believer but I think that path leads to only despair
Delete bp is only valid if combo comes back but seeing as everyone and their mom can funnel except sub
I don’t think combo is coming back
what spec do we beat in sustained aoe?
Feral Druid
no
holy and disc
i honestly don't know
because all of the meta classes, we won't
and even within rogue, we probably lose
all the specs in the game besides fury bm frost dk
id say
by experience
DH easy beats you
not my xp
in sustained aoe nah
sustained aoe is not 30sec
im only pushing 17-18s rn might be wrong higher
all paths lead to despair
youre not only getting beaten in overall by those classes, even if you exclude bosses
Sub is just not tuned that high atm
talking m+ overalls here
You can see that quite easily by just looking at st
yeah if you top overall your group is bad
lol
not trying to be mean but the "people" you see in 16-17s are often very questionable
you might be really good and theyre slightly worse but they also might be terrible
fwiw feral druid if they spec "AoE" has some insane fucking constant AoE dmg
still quite a bit better than what assa can do
their single target does tank a bit
but not as extreme
There are quite a few bosses where assa can do very good boss dmg tho because of easy funnel options
stuff like 2nd boss eco
But yeah on like 2 boss priory you might aswell go afk
are there sub keys and ass keys atm or is it pretty much sub every key?
If our aoe would be that crazy good, we would see more sub rogues at the top top end
no cause the spec just slightly weaker than fury bm frost imo
not that dfar
but ppl wont bother playing something weaker for fun
we might be super broken for a while if they buff sub while nerfing others
damn
!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.
anyone that can come dm and tell me why I do negative damage?
Is there any big jump in difficulty after +15s?
Finally got resil after failing 9 priories in a row 
16s are easy, the people still doing them aren't great
Yes but the biggest jump is that you can’t carry as hard anymore
I don’t even think sub is worse damage but why in the world would you take a sub instead of dk which is invincible and has grip, amz
bp should apply rupture to enemies and ams to friendlies
should rework DS and make rupture act like singular focus
party wide cloak of shadows lmao
one target
siphons damage
omegalul copium is that's happening
hence the DS set nerf and never touching it all xpac
also why sin bug isn't being touched
phasing it out
no
I'd kill for sd 
bro how many people would cry
should i do soak on araz?
about 2nd boss
like is it normal that they assign sub for soak?
yup thats the main issue
but buffing sub dmg by 4% wont help
that
shroud used to be a raid buff in keys and rogues used to have some of the best stops in keys

1st and 3rd sure
if your 3rd soak isnt in narnia at least
now just hope you're tuned 10% better than everything else for a spot
I do all 3 yes
how you soak first? like im always on my full cd
should i say fk the dps and go soak?
Shroud of Shadows: Cloak of shadows extends to all raid members
Holy blizzard please
i like my idea of a ryze like aoe teleport
but i think thats too cool for a old game like wow
group cloak would go prettttty hard
holy fuck
gallywix and dimensius say hi
accidentally mouseover giant purple hand = gg bye raid
hi if u have Coup the grace ready
So much power. It could cause so much chaos or be absolute clutch
If you log it'll tell you what % your damage was for the dungeon at that key level
Compared to other logged runs at least
hmm i dont log, but ill do it tomorrow
Wasn’t there a time where kidney shot was AoE?
1 week of ptr
Ahh damn, I wished that passed through lol
It could’ve been fine if adjusted
people lost their mind about it
so it was removed
the 2 aoe cc's rogue has now are:
- aoe blind
- aoe silence (assassiantion only)
Our first soak is melee soak
sprint and step and pray
(no one gets the 2nd one*)
last time i seen it was dragonflight
s 1 or 2
people in DF told me its troll to not take it
!def
Rogue Defensive Spreadsheet: > Click to open <
but the trade off is higher in TWW, so now i get told the opposite
back in DF it was significantly more easy to take
exactly
but even then
people argued that the trade off could be significantly higher and you would take it, because its just soo good
it just turns out, that nobody is willing to sacrafice dps for utility
it also just turns out its not actually that good in a coordinated group
still very good in pugs
aoe kidney when
silence is still a good form of cc
and you get a dr on top
so it brings value, and you can use it efficiently in groups
its just, stuff dying faster is a more efficient way to deal with adds

yeah
i know simming is best obv
but is araz with prism good at hc level
it is fine
is double on use crazy good in some raid scenarios?
it is noticeable good on last 2 bosses for prog
I have mythic antenna as secondary
but might not be best overall dps
alright ty
antenna and pacemaker are very good passive trinks
I’d do myth antenna for sure
i tried myth antenna for a bit on nexus
and always performed wose
but maybe skill issue
Oh I just mean in general
Not on that specific boss
!up
I remember seeing some gif with treacherous transmitter orb flying away
how do you use cds/prism on nexus?
What is cd
on cooldown and 1:30 and 4:30 is when you want to use prism
so what would be good?
getting into the +20s?
@elder pebble if you can get autumn from your holy pal it makes it a bit easier for dmg amp
idk im in 16 hell rn too, the animal behaviour ive seen in flodgate/priory is crazy
i pray you will be able to escape quickly 🙏
just starting on 16s as well and groups are so hit and miss
When do i want autumn?
whenever they first get it 50s ish usually
am i fucked witout?
nah
not fucked but you'd prefer to have it
i dont get autumn because my pally "needs it" but it helps

we're 4 healing btw 😭
Hey is there a way to play around the coup de grace refund delay bug?

long reload cast into a bunch of orange circles
If you have 4/5 stacks of shadow technique when you press coup, dont spam buttons and just wait
If u aren't comfortable with GCD timings, get a GCD tracker
can you use evasion to sit in the circles? just had a tank who pulled extra and that pull was 24/7 circles lol
U only have 2 possible buttons from this point right. Either strike, or evis, so being mentally prepared to press either
Yo guys, do I miss something or logs are just bugged af on Salhadaar mm ?
they magic damage so probably not
Blessing of autumn
bro my healer was telling me to evasion lmao

alright ty
love when healers tell me to use cds wrong
It reduce 20% damages
Only if you are Deathstalker
elusiveness
its still not going to save you from the swirlies though
He said Evasion
yes
20% less damage to evasion
Honestly didnt realize that lol
its easy to overlook
it does tend to get taken mainly for the feint part
Can i rant that i'm top dmg on infused tangle on loom'ithar because there isn't enough focus on them.
i run elusive but it wouldnt save me from that lmao
Good god how long ago was that added.
not in a 16
ye not a chance
i run elusive though yeah its way too strong
you just take 30-40% less than most other dps
i finally got netherprism, do i use it off cd, priority certain number of stacks or only use on max stacks with shadowblades?
Hi, im new player and i started with sub rogue (rn item level 670) and its hard to play for me, should i change specialization or sub is worth to learn as first spec 
!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.
Depends how you define worth idk
Sub is fun, decently strong
well i came to sub with fun in mind so i highly recommend you playing it
never looked at any other class or spec since starting to play it
is he stronger than other specs? i mean its very fun but just hard for me to do proper rotation
The other rogue specs? yeah
its strong now tbh, had some pretty neat buffs
Other specs like BM, MM, FDK? Not really outside of mythic last 2
if you die in p1 you get mindcontrolled instead
and it will mc you before cheat procs
okay ill stick to sub maybe ill manage to do rotation xD
p1 is take the soaks assigned right
cheat is kinda useful after p1 but imo its sorta hard to die
i relearned it tonight and it gave me around 1milion overall increase lmao, so yeah learn it
If you enjoy it stick with it. Since you’re new I’d encourage you look at other classes as well to see if any are more or less fun.
just press feint during the damage amp/feint starkiller/feint gravity smash
and ur gucci
yeah i dont think they're intending to go much farther than p1
first night
just checking what changes on mythic
Yeah i know how to do opening but with fights longer than 30 seconds im doing mistakes

i assume the beams are just a straight up 1 tap on mythic
Thanks guys
!wax
- Can be pickpocketed from kobolds in e.g. The Ringing Deeps. (needs The Final Candle questline completed.)
- Only use it on one weapon. (does not stack)
@plush roost for that dark brew build you play when you have 2 charges of symbols, in between cds its 1 dance with symbols and 1 dance without symbols right? how do you play that in ST? just naked sec tech's with nothing if you dont have the CDR for the 2nd dance?
how do you use shuriken tornado in M+? ive been avoiding it up till 15s but curious now
Do you ever send it inside a dance or just in between?
pmuch
what dungeons u playing that on? just prio/floodgate/ara? are there more?
Can anyone tell me why crit sims so high for me? I have 28% crit and raidbots still tells me to go for a crit/mastery neck instead vers/mastery
How much mast and vers do you have
It wants me to rock the plexus ring too but I have a ton of vers/mast
Im still not sure if its better, it may be better for pure aoe but you do lose out in ST/priority. Just been fiddling with it.
I thiunk if u play havoc dk then probs like floodgate halls eco
Iirc you send tornado outside of CDs. I too have avoided it
I got 28.8% Vers and 74.5% mastery but every sim tells me to get more crit even though i feel like my mastery is low compared to other rogues
I mean
Sims don't lie
If it says it's good it's good, idk the nuances beyond that.
Just avoid the talent.
I mostly saw it used for rupture spreading and/or black powder outside dance. But avoid it
Crit is good. We are well past stacking only mastery/vers
If you aim for raid vs Dslice you’ll prob get diff gem suggestions. I too am getting crit suggestions
Curious what's meant by getting more crit though
Like a stat sim, an equal ilvl item? A mythic item vs a heroic?
for example going for crafted crit/mastery neck instead of vers/mastery
Nothing weird there
with already 28%
28 isn't a lot
I still have crit/ mastery ascendence dagger and nerub bracers
Too lazy to swap lately
Blessed weapon grip gang
hmm alright im just gonna trust the sims, was just wondering why nobody else on raiderio was playing with that low mastery and high crit
thank you
I did get loom dagger from raid finally so pog
Crests are precious and I imagine they'd want to upgrade their mythic prisms and such first idk
Every char is different
Sims don't lie
Week 1 I got the mythic haste/vers dagger with avoidance - took it and it’s still going…
#3 Allstar sub rogue rocking the giga crit ring
So don't think your dps will magically become bad following the sim
As a bonus you can play sin easier
My sim tells me the crit/vers neck is better. It also has 12 million (exaggerated) speed on it. So I don’t feel as bad
Takeaway is that we play with what we get
Nvm I was scrolled, am dumb
The what
That's another weird thing. My sub sims with wanting plexus ring + my outlaw vers/crit ring lol
Goes back to playing with what we get until we have it all (if ever)
Hell yeah
Is it worth changing plater color for targets with faze?
not really
!wa
i be wondering if i should learn sub to save my carpal tunnel from outlaw... what is the sub sections opinion on difficulty learning sub vs outlaw?
is there an easy way for my tank to track tfd ?
Oufffff! Just bought 300 augment runes. I hope we dont use 300 pulls on dimmy boy myth😅
are my stats decent?
its very different
ups spanish
looks cool but just sim
how to I sim stats?
usually i go droptimizer
and look at what the game wants me to loot
but there might be a easier way
i think you should not think too much about it yours are fairly decent just sim every item you get
Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot about Subtlety Rogue and I'm very new to the class. I have a question about AoE situations. Most guides recommend using Black Powder on 4-5 targets. But what about when we have Flawless Form? Wouldn't it be ideal to use Eviscerate instead, even on up to 7 targets or less ? I haven't seen this mentioned in any guides. Can someone explain why? Thanks, and have a great day
because nimble flurry is only active with FF
but no, BP does more damage even at 4 targets. It's a tuning issue. CdG is still always used over BP
Appreciate your time… Just checking ways that I can improve. Feeling inconsistent with the damage. Some high damage some low. I guess if we don’t stick with a target 100% of the time damage goes very low quick
sub requires uptime during shadow dances because that's when most of its damage happens. Losing uptime outside of that is less punishing
Sub is less intuitive than outlaw, but outlaw is harder to play maximally
Yeah you either get full up time with the class during cds or its rip overall, sometimes for the whole dungeon
Sub has more thinking outlaw has more doing but if you can play outlaw you can play sub
how bad is tuning on shuriken tornado atm? seen some people play it but no one recommending it
Does nothing in st but still playable
are there any real sub rogue key pushers that upload vods?
i just picked up sub and im still wrapping my head around all the kinks, and im trying to get the opener down (the one on the image) and i dont understand how does one backstab during shadow dance? isnt it always shadowstrike?
!premed
Nope
U have a stealth bar and a normal bar
u probably have it configed in a way where u have backstab on 1, and shadowstrike on 1 as well
When do you start for your next burst?
wdym
If sb and flag are in cd,
I'm confused by the question
sorry, if sb and flag are on CD, when should i start saving up my sd, symbol and secret
hope that makes sense?
When to use crippling poison on m+ >10+ ?
The slow?
mostly never
yes
Only on packs that run away
if theres something you really need to kite
Murlocs is in gambit for example
I wouldn’t use cripple for kiting purpose
Fixed lol
30 seconds
stop using cds at 30-35
not this season
and when yall switch the talent on the slow cast (Numbing) vs dmg reduction (Atrophic)?
in the past it was useful
Depends on group. Numbing is good till stuff starts hitting hard
@lucid jackal thank you!
How much would normally be used to sim embelishments?
oh wow yeah i thought it replaced backstab. thanks
There's a macro you can use, so you press dance twice and it dances on first key press then back stabs on second
!bs
Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
This has also been on my mind, I setup my sub years ago and forgot back stab was a separate button to shadowstrike. Now I have to work out how to get this macro into my life
help
dont worry charrend
at least you're n ot these guys
Could you macro shadowstrike multiple times in sequence with backstab at the start?
no pego mucho en raid en single algo me falta pero no se
@plush roost owned noob
(if we did not kill on this very pull the guild was going to disband)

Imagine having a mythic prism, couldnt be me
we have buyers now so if i dont get it in vault its not happening 
jealous? 
I got a mythic prism this week
With a buyer

Actually blessed af
Prot pala buyer today got antenna, prism and forge
Truly cursed/blessed depending on how you look at it
if you're using a ritual forge with cds, do you want to use cold blood on th e 1st or 2nd SecTec?
higher trink buff vs higher stacks of flag
Maybe pacemaker is better than antenna in m dimensius right?
Has anyone solved the mystery behind being able to shadowstep certain NPCs while some others u can't ? 🥸
i dont need to
week 4 baby

why does ritual forge sim as a dps downgrade over astral antenna? same ilvl
i also have netherprism
we did it gamers

grats gamer
melee circle ran away from us on last grip my 18 stack flag ;-;
big cloak angle
Because double on use isnt the be all end all
But it does have a lot of value on last 2 bosses, and stuff like soulhunter for example
I was forced to use it earlier the one time my step target is late to cross ring
unlacky
unlucky 
3.5M p1 dps 
Poggies!

thats the only reading you need to do
I said before pull. Guys. remember. this boss drops a mount
3 trials got the mounts 
is there a wa for tracking netherprism?


how do i go into cd's with a coup saved up but also rupture ticking
do i just send the coup as the next gcd after flag
or do i refresh rupture super early
Flag > sectec + Blades > storm > coup
@lucid jackal
Another quick question. Im not getting autumn. So after platforms, should I send a quick dance prior to damage amp. Or send dance at start of damage amp and go into a flag window after
I feel like dance at start of amp is optimal damage no?
Logs are like split on what they do so not sure whats actually good
you fly really fast and you get flag at the start of the amp without autumn anyway
Idk what ur asking
do u mean nexus king?
I feel like the 2 target damage is better
But i dont actually know
I dont think it matters
you can still fit 2.75 dances and triple sectec into nexus king amp
without autumn
imo its better to just wait to flag and do omega big prepped burst
^
even in keys?
see most the top rogues using double on use
yeah but are you playing at a level the top rogues are playing at?
whats optimal for the might not be optimal for you
More downtime means more value of double on use
!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.

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is sub a good choice for looking good numbers in lower 10-12 keys? I run with an MM hunter, and Ret Pally both of which look really good in low keys. Trying to find a spec that does the same for guildee keys
It’s ok but you can’t get full usage of your big cds
Assa can steal a lot of damage and pad super hard with bleed build in lower keys
Thanks
thank you for asking that! have similar issue but other composition and my outlaw dosent fit at all so in thinking sub or assa
Yea I’m trying to find a good spec to play of any classes that can compete with those two in lower keys. They just both have so much shorter front loaded damage that the pack is dead before you get stuff out. And the cds are short so then it’s just back up next pack
all specs are viable in sub 12 keys
Honestly rogue just isn’t it tbh, sub can with flag/blades up but none of the 3 specs just have instant blast
you play whatever you enjoy the most
btw what is sec techs reduced cleave dmg, is it soft capped also or nah?
Not like those guys
I understand that, I do high keys, I just mess around in 10-12s with guildees and it’s annoying when the packs die so fast, that’s why I need another spec with big burst on short cd
should i be using my finishers at 5 CP or capping to 7
finality sims better than rotten in dslice but in both st and aoe sims rotten beats finality anyone know what that would be caused by? Also which do people prefer
Dev evoker Flameshaper has some fun burst
Even outside of your dragonrage
Thank you, I’ll check it out
Great spec for low keys actually, aside from the fact that your major cd will last longer than most packs

!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.

whats the cloak spreadsheet?
the one for defensives?
Yea, that one.
I thought it was pinned but I don't see it up there, unless its in another chat because cloak is general rogue....
I checked search history and couldnt find. I think I have had it linked
ok that used to be it
Yea, just taking me to some job box site that is in russian?

I love farming aura with cloak of shadows
Like stand in the middle of Dimensus meteor
yuhp big dick it
DONT WASTE YOUR CLOAK
Aura is not offensive CD is an Aura farming cd
I was wondering if cloak would remove gravity in demi fight, guessing it doesn't
Thats the push right?
you could cloak raszageths succ too
Gravity
felt good
And gravity is physical?
!log
If you could cloak gravity we could use cloak to flight like zen clout from Monks
If its physical would evasion work?

Yep thats my problem
Im like top 5 in my guild on pull but by the time I get to 2nd cd's im doing tank damage pretty much
And I know we are peaks but even after 2nd cds I don't move
67up'i
!wa
I'm almost exactly the bis list from all the guides xD only missing boots and a better passive trinket
Just throw everything at it including the sink
So i gotta send cds on cds to get then back for intermission in time
Saying we killed it to fast because I didn't get my 3rd cd window?
I guess that would make sense, Ive got a 79 parc on a 3:30 kill...
I mean you did 710k dam
for the last minute of the fight
and 5 million for the first 2 minutes
so if they just kill at 2.5 minutes
which is doable
you just get a 90 parse
a lot kill in like 2:30
or 3:25
all the top logs are those windows
when you guys look at logs what are you looking at? dmg windows? rotation?

So I had to many casts before my next SD?
Bis list isn’t relevant until you’re in all myth track gear, it’s a guide, but there is a good chance you may find something not on the bis list is actually an upgrade
True, but from all the loot I've gotten its what the sim is saying to put on.
Unless Im messing up the sim which is totally possible
I doubt stat weights are that impactful, kill time and rotation are far more important
this might be a good overview of cooldown management
I was going to ask if that picture is still correct with "the first dance" node extending first SD to 12 sec, but it does apply to 2nd+ burst windows...
Well thanks for advice, next focus will be making sure I get 8 casts in each SD window on burst phases
Hey guys, got a little question. Is worth to equip 2 mythic loom weapon instead off crafted weapon with ascendance?
For sub, likely yes. For assa no.
@tepid trellis 17 ara, getting closer
but i'm guessing now you'll be doing like 13 mil+ overall haha
May be dumb dumb but why more damage everforje on mh instad of myth, is it because the embelishment? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hk6zdUJ7pzkMaWvBGWY8wj
you have no iterations with it in offhand
You didn’t sim it as offhand - but stats+emb = better
i can almost gurantee 723 mh with crafted oh will be top combo
fixed
im kinda angry becasue before this vault i ran like 10 dawnbreaker in a row for the dagger, i get this myth weapon i do a dawnbreaker to help a friend and i get the dagger
Still running vigor, finality?
hell yeah
Good man
i completely forgot to try x2 finality
So I was hyper focus on akar opening pull. Every Storm while going to first mini boss spread FW down the ramp. Rotten is useless.
wtf how?^^
Be good
You got a log of this run?
Smart answer
He’s probably run more keys than 99% of the people in here
he just needed to cleanse his smooth brain of assa discharge from last season
^^
@tribal blade you have mythic prism? I forgot.
heroic is already rly good
mythic is ridiculous though.
Ew
!log
do you guys think prism and araz are must have trinkets for M+, been running lily and pacemaker will they do the job or too much dmg loss ?
Lily is a good hold over until you get a prism
youre fine running lily and pacemaker
do you guys normally beat other specs in dmg in mythic +, I just am always behind for some reason :?
yes with a shaman + warrior/monk buff
been running 15s and I just feel like I drag the group behind 😄
anyone killing H dimensius and wanna get a brotha in so i can snag a curio
Not bad
Ppl are stilk using rotten on m+ or x2 finality??
prism 
personal preference
nicuu
the diffrence is small
rotten can be slightly better on pure st, but its gear dependent so a sim angle
Yeah thats what i thought... Allthought sim ds has a lot of dif
finality is good, so you don't lose much playing it over rotten
Maybe x2 finality may be kind more st for some dungeons with hard bosses
Or low aoe
how does dh compare in terms of ease of play?
i was in raid spec hyuu definitely wouldn't have timed it with the low risk pulls the tank was doing
With all these issues on rogues x3 specs
And i did 11mil in a +12 hoa
Im really thinking to stop having him main
Its easy very simple rules
Since u play 0 movement
Outside of vengeful
interessting
mhm, so even less reason to play rogue -.-
i wonder if we see rogue in mdi
Maybe
sub still has this big burst, but i am unsure if you can utialize it that well
Very insane dmg every 3min
ye
Allows for some crazy stuff
i could see it
Nahh mdi eill be with no rogues for sure
tho probably not in all dungeons
Even rank10 rogues has already stopped getting prep with rogues for mdi
Even kush
But kush is a player eho plays almost everything
Casual shindig are going dk and dh
Kush is having already max 4-5 dps
Ilvl
i am not convinced of dk yet
dh i could see
especially in a combo with arcane
arcane is just busted
boomies are rly good on aoe
but their st is still kinda meh
they go well with arcane because of the execute
Yeah hunters are good too
ele shaman probably too, they did not get nerfed much
On everything actually boss fights aoe
mdi pulls also involve a lot of shenanigans
that necrotic wake pull into second boss comes to mind
dk might be used for grip tho
lock skip and gathering the whole walkway into the boss
their "fake utility" might be a central piece to bring them
there'll probably be a cool rogue play or two
is mdi played with the most current patch or is it a older version?
so 11.2.5 comes out is that what's streamed? for cs2 they're sometimes a patch behind when a tournament goes live since it's oct 1st probs we're all on the same patch
I assume its latest patch, but i would need to read up
Brings brez which might be hard to get with certain comps
what is the "enhanced visual" on our set when reaching 2.5m+?
feral druid and restro isn't that bad iirc
still think you have the posibility of seeing rogue in very high AoE dungeons, if you actually pull around sub's 3min cd
dont think any class does that dmg, outside of maybe hunter
arcane probably?
tuning wise im pretty sure its just a worse feral druid
oh interessting
i did not play with a feral so not sure
but longer sustained aoe pulls, balance performs well
same with feral
at least did in the keys i did with guild
i assume stuff will die to fast especially if sub has things stacked up
possibly, let me check
unseen blade wago
nah i don't sadly /cry
If i need to explode a caster in a great pack, is it ok to switch to eviscerate or should i still stick with BP?
if you absolutely need to then yes evis will do more dmg to it
but usually just BPing is fine, since it does close to evis dmg
you essentially trade off roughly 10% aoe for 5% increased st
if you evis instead of BP
(at least it was something around these numbers last i checked, unless i missremember)
yea, i wanted to understand it was worth or i should simply don't care and doing BP since it's pretty close as dmg
which isn't that much of a gain, most of our prio damage is in coup and so its less punishing to adjust
or well, its also not needed because the prio barely changes
thank you
Thx man! ❤️
I don't know how you reach those strong numbers^^
Doesn’t dk get there as well?
They also like netherprism I think
nah they dont reach the same numbers during full burst, but they do quite alot more outside of them than we do
pillars be going crazy
Nvm they don’t use netherprism really
the unholy trinity of funnel, assass / arcane / dh, and jsut pull adds on all the bosses
Dimmy what a funny buss
Boss
We changed one person in roster and it look like reprogress of p1 😄
is this spec as complex as icyveins is making it seem
Depends, try it out and report back
the spec is harder to learn, but the baseline concept is not too hard to understand
this is basically what you need to know in terms of cooldown management
in dungeons the tricky bit was knowing when to save shadowblades and just dance sectec
sub is fun machine though
Yo guys, just started raiding again on my rogue after few years, im playing mage on main but those blue parses haunt me
Can you guys help me know where i should improve :
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wr1p3JGyYP7KNfhZ?fight=2&type=damage-done
(ik prism would be the thing first but what can i do
)
compared with:
also idk why you're backstabbing so late in your dances, you want it to be ideally the first gcd
it does no damage
mine is below i guess, i should have backstab right after Sectec, then fok between coup de grace ?
1s gotta take a call
i dont see FoK between coup de grace btw ? i dont even see the second coup de grace, is that normal?
your blades is also too early, cold blood should be used on the 2nd sectec, your first gcd after using flag should ideally be reapplying rupture or evis not dance/symbols/sectec,
im not gonna go through and check you're getting the right amount of gcds in dance, but i suspect that might be a problem too
it's an old pic before we got new 4p, but ye in blades or 4+ targets you fok between coup unless you get a refund
i macroed cold blood with sectech, shouldnt i ?
I should blades on first sectec?
i usually go for a third dance, your advice would be to refresh rupture then go for another dance
macroing cb is a dps loss, have a seperate sectec only keybind
i just discovered the coup bar weakaura, i'm not sure to understand it, what does the tick inside of it mean ?
@sweet raven even in your first flag you use blades too early, when we go into dance/stealth we get premeditation which gives us full combo points on next builder. but yeah you want to use it right before sectec.
ok thanks a lot will hit some target dummy for muscle memory now
im also a bit confused about sectec outside of dances and how i should fish shadow technics between dance
atm magic belt is better than hero belts?
also how many dance i should have before flag
1 full charge and 30s on the 2nd is good to aim for
Whats wrong with macroing CB into ST?
don't worry about sectec outside of dances until you have your dance windows right. It's extremely minor dps but if you mess it up by not having sectec in time for your dance it's a net loss
!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.
^ for shadow techniques
using cb on first st is like a 2-3% dps loss
cant tell if im stupid or if sub is a bit confusing to learn 😅
sub hella easy, you're probably stupid
jk, it's a bit tough to pick up
feels very good once you got a grasp
Confusing is a great way to describe it. You need to learn your internal timers (when/where to use CD's) and external timers (boss/trash timers) you don't want to pop CD's just a boss goes immune or knocks you back or a phase changes for eg
If youre going from the prio list it can be a bit weird to wrap your head round. Or if you've not played rogue before
Also smth that has been probably been spoken about before: should Shadowstrike act like shadowstep whilst in Shadow Dance
what you struggling with?
!wa
I don't think so, coup used to teleport you to the target too and it was griefing so many players
God no
what does blessings of autumn do for sub rogue and why do almost half of public logged kills on nexus and dimensius have atleast one cast of autumn on sub?
gives cdr
Cdr on all spells
does it reduce cd on trinkets too?
No
no
hard to pin point atm I havent played rogue properly since like shadowlands, ive been mostly a spriest this season so its probs just more me picking stuff up again
cdr on flag and shadow blades too?
Yes
don't need trinket cdr when you have netherprism 🥲
im only confused because even on logs where the rogue gets the buff they still cast flag and shadowblades at strictly 1:30 intervals
He will only cast blades earlier once
As in if he gets autumn at 1min you can blades at 1:20
And then at 2:50 again
For example
(this is why a lot of people take it on nexus)
And dim on 2nd platform
yes but wont it be reflected in the logs right now the log im looking at its still 1:30 sec between each flag
including the cast that comes after autumn
Hes just holding then for whatever reason
alright makes sense i thought maybe the logs were kind of spotty as they can be sometimes
Just think of it as going up and down. Big bursts(Flag/Shadow blades) followed by maintenance (reapplying ruptures, spending points on eviscerates to reduce other CDs) followed by smaller burts, repeat until big bursts again.

for the inbetween dances outside of blades
is it worth trying to force coup early inside one?
I see some people speccing into improved wound poison, it's just from HOA last miniboss and they don't bother speccing out of it for other dungeons?
there's not a tonne of other good stuff to take anyway tbh
shadowheart doesn't work
unbreakable stride has almost zero use
rushed setup maybe nice if you're hitting kidneys a lot
There are also heals in priory if you miss kicks
hey!
sub is more viable than assas in the meta comp? or same shit?
