I had like 43% unbuffed haste on my warr the other day because everything dropping just has extreme amounts of haste on it
it went to 81% when I fully stacked the rampage thingy + frenzied enrage
tbf it's like 10% more haste than what bis geared fury warrs have currently
35% haste above gcd cap when lusted
whats the best trinket combo for st? araz+frac?
prism + antenna
but
prism + forge is close in value
Nether Portal demo felt like a galaxy brain spec and I kinda liked it (even tho I’m not a huge caster fan)
Sub fellas, I enjoy playing rogue in m+ very much but in raid I think I cannot compete. Is this the general state of rogue right now?
depends on the boss innit
In pure ST as example
At araz & dim sub is blasting as it seems
On st bosses you wont be able to compete
fractilus ye we suck
Anything with adds/dmg amps you are good
this is very funny to me
Ouff
thats nothing new
we knew subtlety is literally one if not the worse pure st in the game
so in my vault is hero antenna, i have hero track lily and prism. ive simmed the vault, myth track memento sims higher, hero logic gate alpha sims higher, do i go via sims or go with antenna?
!wa
ye just funny that all the rogue specs are bottom 6
i thought assa did decent st
well assassiantion does better
but both outlaw and assassiantion have a shared bug that impacts their output
we do have bugs too that do that, but subtlety is baseline tuned worse
the killtimer on frac is also playing against us now
Its because i die on that fucking Boss each reclear
how so
if i look at top logs, its within ~4-5 minutes
the 3% buff should bring it down slightly soon, no?
ye
i think with the extended track and 3% buff next week it might be getting into good territory for us again
as soon as that timers hits 3:20 its gaming time
ye, i feel like its not bad if timers go down
yeah defo
yup 3mins means also straight after our 18 stack prism if you are playing 1 on use
3% buff on what ?
raid buff
oh ok
guys im still learning the spec and still not sure when to use heavy CDs in aoe fights like forgeweaver Araz
should I use it on opner and adds only ?
yo whats the add on that streamers uses, that tells you what spells they are pressing?
you hold for adds
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
^ this website is a great learning tool
so never use it in opener or single target ?
just use symbols of death and shadow dance ?
you optimize your cooldowns
so you do both
you don't "ONLY" use your cooldowns on adds
and do nothing else
but you align your cooldowns smartly to be able to have the most damage on adds
the problem now i found most people have is
they have no clue how to use lorrgs
or a lack of understanding of subtlety cooldowns in general
most have both
so what i like to do is give this information on cooldown management
keep in mind, that i only wrote "dance" there, but its the cluster of symbols/secret/dance
the 4 dance - 3 dance - repeat is a very easy pattern you can practice, even if its not covering all edge cases
Imagine this tier is if shadowdust was still around, fuu would lose his mind
Are there situations where you'd be sending sectec with only dance, only symbols, or alone?
Never with only dance, sometimes with only symbols or completely naked
and you can easy see what i mean if you use the website above.
This is the first parse on one of the pure single target fights
you see the 4-3 pattern in the screenshot
but also a 4th one at the end of the fight
so why is this?
I feel like I've had situations (only mass AoE) where the CDR of dance is enough that it comes back faster than symbols
because of the extra symbols charges, the fight was about to end so you send your cooldowns
and knowing the above
you can also fast identify a probably mistake
the player likely had one symbols charge left at the end of the fight
but thats rly over optimizing it
My pala already hates me when he gets the whisper on nexus and dim
what why not
you have more cooldown reduction
free sectec > not free sectec no?
because storm generates full combo points
so you don't need to do blank symbols
you can align a dance to it
hmmmm
its hard for me to know 100% when i should press stuff or not
so in e.g. m+ you likely wouldn't
I feel like if I hit dummies I can send a free sectec sometimes
thats because subtlety is unique in how it functions
ill explain why you and probably most others struggle
subtlety has a lot of nuances, other specs simply don't have
so you can't follow your learned gameplay patterns
this comes from a mix of things
Number 1 Cooldowns don't naturally line up
trufigcd
ty!
This is a big one because almost all classes have things naturally align, so having symbols on 25 sec vs. no other multiplicative of 25 is difficult
it does not help that we have dynamic cooldowns on two spells
and both of them are even diffrent
secret techniques has 1 sec cdr per combo point spend
shadow dance 0.5 sec
so secret allwasy comes first no matter what?
but this alone isn't enough to make you not align things
secret is highest priority finisher in dance
as long as you supercharge it
it's ok
so then there is
Number 2
Spells have stacks, shadow dance has 2 stacks, symbols of death has 3
this gives a dynamic where you can hold cooldowns for a specific moment with little loss.
so i.e. you have 7 cp and 10 sec cd on sectec left, you can send a finisher into sectec and still have sectec supercharged
but also means this dynamic is nothing you do elsewhere
almost everyone who starts subtlety
just fires cooldowns as ready
and then wonders why the output is shit
this does not work, because you need 1.5 charges of shadow dance for your 90 sec cooldowns
and if you just fire everything asap
whats the default on most specs these days
do you need double dagger for sub?
yes
Yes
ty
this seems so complicated, its so antinatural to hold off cds
my opener is super strign but then everything goes to shit for that i think
and then there is the third thing, subtlety has a lot of small optimizations to know and interactions to learn
many are not intuitive
wtf ..
Keeping the dynamic but also making it a bit more straightforward for beginners is the big dev task for sub and probably nothing will happen with midnight
Kinda crazy he got r1 by holding flag until 2:50 after on pull
Assa gets another tool from sub/outlaw and qol and that's about it
With autumn you could crank that even harder
!cbbug
Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:
- Relogging.
You can use ths weakaura to get a reminder: >Open on Wago.io <
did he go into platform with 8 supercharged or what
Nah just 18 stack prism
Why does Crit/Mastery sim so much better than mastery vers?
This is defo the way to parse now if your raidleader wont murder you after seeing what you done
dr on vers would do that
prism on pull, is this guy trolling or what?
Which boss?
Nexus
nexus
i think you can't solve the inherent problem
or well two
You just black powder instead of hitting the titan
does he have forge
18stacks prism into adds?
- People inherenlty want to use their cooldowns when they are up
- People want to spam buttons and not wait between cooldowns
astral
but he wouldve had 1 more stack for platforms if he didnt use on pull
ig so ye
You can also squeeze in 1 more flag set if you have autumn
and again, most classes are designed without these problems.
Stuff naturally aligns, so you can with minor delays just send, and spam buttons
don't you always send 18 stack into platform?
and then forge for amp or
Nah forge pull 1:30 prism forge playform prism amp
(I haven't gotten to platform part yet)
That was what ppl did on prog
Lets reduce flag and blades to 10sec, vanish gets down to 1.5mins for sub and triggers tfd, sectec becomes a stealth finisher. We dance every 30sec. Now we can spam stuff on cd
i don't think you want to fundermentally change the spec
if anything, legion had the most satisfying one
where you had a very short but strong burst every ~25 sec
Legion tos
yes
ig you could forge on pull, hold prism on second flag, send forge with a dance, have 18 stacks for platform and then forge amp
is there a rule to use secret tech. alone? like if shadow dance has 20sec cd or sm?
but also, the dev team stated the clearly don't want this damage pattern to return
it was probably for the same reason phased out quickly after legion
Dfa at mistress sassy
Youre better off not playing forge at that point im p sure
Hello guys.. i have a simple tricky question...when i play my rotation i feel like that i lose some gcd, sometimes i have not time to react a full combo points proc in dance to eviscerate back to back and other times it feels i do not press any button (but maybe i'm spamming shadow strike).... it feels weird...someone experienced same thing? i also tried to fix the spell queue window, maybe it is slightly better but not smooth. is it possible that is 60hz monitor fault?
(they did say the same with funnel, and now assassiantion and arcane do very good funnel)
you don't think a 'naked' forge + dmg amp forge would outweigh?
What they say only counts for sub
no, its the fault of bugs
coup de grace has a 1.2 sec gcd instead of 1 sec
you can see as a bug
AH
what the fuck
You always have to factor in a passive trinket would give you 8k mainstat + its passive on every cd set, a forge gives around 25k or so stats for 1 cd window
it might happen that you get the refund triggered on the 2nd or 3rd hit
which is delayed
And its not like you will not have prism ready for the amp anyways
to make matters wrose there is another bug with premeditation too^^
Use coup and then vanish, coup shoots you out of stealth 
how many extra monsters during flag is equivalent to a 100% dmg amp anyway
also just to add some natural latency
can also be seen as bugs
the 2p proc can be delayed slightly
holy shit... and there is not way to improve this behaviour right?
some trick or something
nope
i was thinking of different 2x on use lineups w/ the 2nd flag at 2:50 but without knowing that info im not sure whats correct
Forge into bp add spam and then 18 stacks into amp should be fine
ye true + crit is more dmg per point than agi at this point
you can see it as a pile of bugs
good job blizzard... btw thanks a lot @vale pine 🙂
forge does give a little bit of crit as well though :^)
but also could say its intentional, because ... well its how they implemented it
(some things are easier to lable as bugs)
Imagine we had no bugs, how overpowered we would be, not as a class alone but as players aswell
I like how sub plays, I just wish damage outside of CDs was a little better
1T ~5m
2T ~7.5m
3T ~10m
for me
so 3 targets ig
I mean our dmg scales crazy on low targets
from 8 targets to 10 targets though:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qUagpsRjT7Nd8ukX3Mtkv6
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sPKsKgEzu9qHZvGxFCGPcr
nimble falls off pretty rapidly
for obvious reasons
only a ~4.5% increase of dmg when increasing target count by 25%

is this just for the duration of flag
or just 5min
no it's 5 min
oh ok
don't think it should change that much

maybe slightly more dmg amp favored since shadow blades turns to phys dmg through nimble
ah ok
ok nvm it's actually a pretty big difference
1T https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jWT2Fuaec5waNwXUgA3BiH

there are somes bugs on sub spec too ???
"some"

sorry im kinda clueless about this flag and target count can u expand how that buff works?
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
we're just comparing if it's better to send cds during dmg amp vs higher target counts
ow i see ty
flag doesn't have a specific interaction with higher target counts as such
oh thanks
I see he align all CD's together
what you see on this is
how there are always 3-4 dances used in every 90 sec cycle
and how we stack up cooldowns
When using two on use trinkets in raids, is it just Araz (first blades+flag) > prism next flag + blades and then keep rotating too? it seems like some logs do that and some logs just send prism every time blades after first one and i guess last dance of the fight?
3-4?
isn't it 2-3 besides when it's the first send
!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.
its 1-2 dances outside of blades/flag
ty
Flag
i noticed i can get it up to around 39%
What do you mean by 39%
flawless form, makes your finsher stronger
Im aware what flawless form is '
So do i stack up flawless form before sending it?
you shouldnt be looking at your flawless form stacks
Its not something you base any decision around
You can hold coup before your flag dance (like 5-10 seconds)
if thats what you mean
Youre likely just sending your cooldowns incorrectly
If you feel like youre doing low damage
yeah i think youre right, im probably just doing it wrong
what is it then
Can't sub have a one hand sword in one hand and the other a dagger or this doesn't work?
i can only get up to like 10 mil ST with full stack nether prism
where i see other rogues going way past the moon
have you read the wowhead guide
Yeah but its still complicated
or any of the guides, they're all pretty good
Doesn't work
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
you don't play around anything outside of what's mentioned in the guides
Trying out Sub - do you have any tips for a small WA that indicates beforehand that "next finisher will give max CP"?
I'm keep getting supprised and accidentaly shstrike instead of finisher
except encounter to encounter stuff
!wa
Regarding shadowcraft & the loading of combo points from shadow techniques..:
Am I the only one, who thinks that it works very cluncy
It loads the combo point sometimes 1sec after my last finisher , when I already pressed the next builder
coup bug
Also, for m+ do we go for Tea (wowhead) or Cold blood (archon)?
every hit of coup triggers shadowcraft refund
If you go from under 7, to 7 during the 3 swing of coup, it'll refund at the end of the swings rather than the start
Either is fine
It's a bug? I thought im dumb
Direct refund or none would be optimal , I have no problems with having the CB after the next finisher
That is dumb... The whole animation of the thing is dumb. Could be the same as evis & I would love kt
very dumb yes
I would love to play deathstalker..
I have the feeling my rogue is kinda looked while doing coup, feels just bad. Evis & sec tech feels great
hopefully they implement coup in our future hero tree
but it's a big void empowered evis or something
With no new animation at best
and doesn't deal dmg over multiple hits
ty
Have you tried it, especially on aoe
yw
i am full of wisdom now
I love sub, but I just don't enjoy the trickster gameplay... Sadge that Deathstalker can't compete in any way
me too
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Genuinely deathstalker feels significantly worse to play
Trickster is like, perfect sub rogue lol
Especially now that you cant cancelaura darkest night
Youll just have to tank not having a hero talent for most of blades
i think they should make coup 2 hits and make the gcd faster
and maybe make it look cooler
You think? I like it as assa rogue
Well as assa rogue you press envenom and it does aoe damage
As sub you press eviscerate and it does nothing, so you dont want to press eviscerate
I could work for that, but 1 hit would be best
how much is a socket approximately in numbers dps increase?
Blackpowder does more damage than darkest night eviscerate at 4 targets
Like 0.15% or so
i like the coup sfx
so i wanna hear multiple stabs still
im selfish

I mean with new balancing, make black powder work for it or something else
Well ofc if you massively change deathstalker it could be good
But right now it isnt
i took a socket from vault yesterday, 17k dps increase in patchwerk
ty
had to take socket as well today
sockets are not that bad
Sound could be same, but the animation lock is not feeling good for me
i just dont like the longer gcd
had some shit necks with haste
and the delayed refund being so late
so 2nd hit being faster + no 3rd hit and gcd being faster is good enough
100% agree, always shiit.. when you press build & right then the CB is coming up
!wa
The delayed refund is skill expression 
Lol
Surely it gets fixed with .5 
Doubt
Midnight at best
Noobs pissed at skill expression being in sub 
i think the delayed refund could be upside if less ticks and quicker refund
but its just delayed to the point where its annoying imo
stealthi coup bar helps a ton
I just read deathstalker talents
looks awesome wtf
how'd they mess it up this badly
I mean it should just be one hit to begin with
Its just flat +plague damage onto every spell
probably but i like how its more lenient with sht
yes but big evis and prio dmg
since easier to avoid ub munch without storm
if u go from 5 to 7 mid coup
wish could get that upside without being annoying
Ye but like i said BP is still better even at 4 targets, so you'd just sit with darkest night
And not use it on aoe
ye that's the part they messed up though
feels nice to auto to 7 before last hit of coup and get refund
And even if we would use it
could just have made it aoe
and not press storm
!wa
Also clear the witnesses does insanely high damage
Like almost at BPs level
So the ideal way to play it is to strike and apply 3 marks > bp (2 marks) > storm (to use ctw) > bp (1 mark) > strike another target to reset your marks to 3 and proc ctw again > repeat
how does rotten interact with clear the witnesses
Be Nice eleem DS is still in its alpha stage
that'd go against subs primary design of delayed damage
Well yeah it hasnt changed since then
So youre right
Or well, it did get worse
With the DN mark bug
they suck when you already have sockets in all your gear 
So it was actually better before 
ok yea
it's weird that they decided DN has to be used on Evis and then didn't make the Evis aoe
but u can get a socket for a really cool belt or wrist upgrade! the most exciting slots in the game!
im aching to get a better belt and a better bracer! i just cannot wait!
me when the function has a 0.05% upgrade
Couldn't they just make it work with BP
that's what I'm saying
for next reset
Im opening my vault tomorrow evening 1 hour before raid 🥲
i know i can just get a plexus / king one eventually but we are starting sales soon and i dont want every belt to go to buyers forever
Hello champs, what do you do when you got 2 stacks of SD but FLAGGELATION and SB have 30-40 sec cd remaining?
Go for it!
you send one
And spam coup in that time
You stop using them at 30 seconds
It will be back by over 50% when flag is up
But if Ur at 2 stacks, u didn't use one earlier
I have the opposite problem, I like assa, but don't enjoy deathstalker 😄
Sin without deathstalker is genuinely the most boring spec ever made lol
i hope they make sin st more fun in midnight
Deathstalker is a lot of fun!
it is if theres more than 1 guy
I do proper opening. After that, don't know when to stop using SOD and SD and sometimes I stand having rdy to use SOD AND SD but on SD FLAG and SB
but i dont like it that much if theres 1 guy
its better than fatebound for sure
tbh id like ds more if vv wasnt the correct talent
master assassin ds was more fun
Envenom with the purple Bar is giga Chad, even better with caustic spatter
I would like the poison build to be giga Chad, and supercharging that finisher even more
last time I played sin I felt like the whole spec was perma backstab soup
in terms of apm
it's a while ago though
Thats just green sub
Hello I did terrible damage on soul hunters, by analysis of logs from other plyers available, it seems i did more rupture. So what is the gameplay about this ? only rupture your target and playing with the jump from talent or use rupture so each boss have it all the time ?
sim doesn't do that
but I do sometimes
also, is the tank movement on bosses affecting damage highly or not ?
you got a log?
I struggled to do 6,1 to 6,5M
if you lose gcds in crucial moments then yes
if you lose gcds outside of cds then it hardly matters
but you can position yourself better to account for this most of the time
ah ye soul hunters mess up your uptime sometimes
the complete group did terrible damage, but i'm checking how to improve myslef and not hiding behind guild overall performance for next time
Its like flag cds 2 dances in between + 2 sd outside then your cds come back up then u got 2 sd inside 1 outside
Then 2 in 2 out again
Basically
I think watching a video and seeing when a good player uses their cooldowns is helpful on fights like that
Sometimes u are sitting there spamming black powder outside cds and you sit on 2 dd stacks when u still have cd on everything then u just send a sd
We do a little bit of testing
Mb king
Used to doing it on prog
-1 stack on plat gg
if i have forge and prism, what is the strat for sending on nexus?
forge, send neither trinket, send 18 stack on platform, forge on amp?
Are you progging or do you want to parse whore
we are progging it
Cause if you're progging using prism on platforms is gkickable
same thing no?
Imo
TRUE

I’d send prism on platform until your raid figures out how to kill the titan
Unless you have double on use
i have myth prism and forge
wait do you not have double on use
oh ye then it’s forge time
so its forge, prism, forge, prism?
I used prism during some prog pulls when people died or something just so we saw p3
is it just me or is lorrgs severely outdated
so literally a macro angle
like the data on it
and ill have 18 stack for dmg amp
It's not this complicated
Sure, but you get 1 more flag after amp so prolly want that to be a prism too
ok ty lol
!fuu

Imagine if you had a hpala and could use flag at 1:20 instead of holding it for 2:50 though
Silly that they decided to have the fight be timed this way
I guess antenna is prob the play aswell with those timings
Forge seems kinda pointless
I guess you could technically forge pull + amp and then send another 18 stack prism after
A 9 stack prism is better than forge for the amp anyway
Yup
Well it was testing for deep farm when the theoretical 4 seconds delay from autumn would cause the adds to turbo die before cb sectec
This week just sending like normal would have been completely fine the adds lived to like 3:25 I just didn’t think we would kill it so I wanted to see what the profile would look like or how much boss damage u would lose
We dont have a hpala anymore either 
you’ll gap me for sure
is d slice our best sim otion ?
Depends on our killtimer tbh
and on the topic of autumn for damage amp I nearly beat my prog damage on amp with 8 stack prism no maghar no pot
turns out the extra time in amp is kinda op
You can 3 dance anyway
But you get the big prep for your flag+blade dances
Instead of for a pisser dance
Oh realy even without autumn?
Well its dance > flag
You drop the last 2 seconds of dance if you wait but you still get the prep
Good thing i dont have to worry about that 
dont go below 30 energy?

yes he is serious
Yes. Macro it and ignore it
omg
Bc you hit like a wet noodle outside of dance whats the point of having mastery then
right
That argues for playing around the autouse though?
but if you spam shit it will use all the charges
Or nvm you use all 3 teas in opener anyway
yeah you burn through them fast on the opener
and I assume its like tfd where that's the big time to have them
Wouldn’t that make it better to bind it to sectec?
You can bind it to sectech if you want, it doesnt matter
Not if you get it at the end of TFD
I mean the APL only does what we’ve instructed it to do through trial and error
!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.
Imma experiment a lil when I get home
the only tea i play around is my iced tea irl 
So.... in all situations hero prism > myth antenna
Thats myth pacemaker btw
DId you put like 50% missrate or something on antenna
It should be roughly the same or slightly better than pacemaker
(paired with prism ofc)
Gonna change it, but prism is so busted tbh
!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.
At 50% missrate prism is still ahead by far
I wasnt talking about replacing prism, i was talking about pacemaker vs antenna
Ye, but on vault I have to choose between hero prism or myth antenna
then you obv take prism
Im sure the best is antenna + prism, but I have time
Prism + antenna/forge/pacemaker
pacemaker, forge, antenna
all good
!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.
!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.
ye always take vault after reclear if you have the possibility to get it from raid
or if you're guy never take vault bc you're biblically cursed
In my case, pray for prism because I only do first 2 on myth
No raiding
Well, lets clear hc until fract and pray
But ye, prism is a must
yup
even if u macro it to blades and forget u even have it
it still beats everything by miles
Forge on hc is worse for my char, 2 weeks ago was on vault but in any situation pacemaker + lily was better
I have forge on hc and antenna on mithic,all sims puts antenna as the winner by 0.6%
Wasnt forge better ?
not necessarily
its better in certain situations
is dslice our best sim for m+
double on use is more situational
For m+
yea
any time you're holding either trinket it makes double on-use worse
I see ,in general I hold since I cant throw burst on fcking 3 mobs ,I mean holy molly these tanks
!prism
Unyielding Netherprism

Can i put both trinkets into blades macro? With araz first?
yes
Should I be using rupture in aoe?
put it up as the tank gathers, then refresh after cds
any mobs that'll live >10sec should have one minus lil piss adds
Generally if the mobs are not gonna be dead halfway through your cds you should be sending if your cds are ready
wait is it renown 9 this week
yes, 9
big
dmg buff is at 10
no need to speedrun normal then

and if they are gonna be, then would you like send a dance generally?
if you have to delay cds anyway
It’s double active the ideal trinket setup for m+. Thinking prism + forge
Hey, why ppl rates TheFirstDance if you can take weaponmaster instead that would work the whole fight?
Also, ppl take improved shuriken in st and never use
weaponmaster is very weak
hilariously weak
same with the alternative to imp storm
and since we use storm between coups it's a bit of a nudge to imp storm value
can someone help me out please? shoulder sims higher by 0.2% after catalyst and I currently have main dagger (myth) as well as crafted dagger with lens.
But tfd only gives 4 seconds improve. Checked a bunch of top logs with IS taken but not used, so then why while you can take any other talent even weak?
might be a socket angle tbh
tfd makes our opener very strong because you can fit 2x secret technique in that first dance
weaponmaster does no damage
and unless the fight is what, 7+ minutes tfd is just numerically better
Do we save vanish for the 90s cds?
nah you just kinda use it when you want/need
k
Vanish between coups huge
ok
it's a comfort thing
idk if there's much you can cheese with vanish this raid that's worth holding it
Also if pack is dying 2adds/etc u can pre vanish to get tfd faster
ye
Haptics help me out bro
Is there some interaction with escalating blades and unseen that makes it stack faster? Going through some logs and I have fewer coup de grace casts.
Im forced to choose between a moveable object or a stoppable force
.
rng from the 2pc
for sub/sin can u use fist weapon off-hand?
35% chance to strike/stack twice per hit
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
Secret techinques give 2 guarenteed unseen blades maybe u wasting them
!guides
Maybe this has already been discusses or there's some bug but how are these top parses on NK getting their shadow blades and flag up like 5 seconds earlier.
Everyone is popping SB at ~5 seconds
blessing of autumn
but then a ton of these use it again at ~1:25, how is that possible if its a 1m30s CD
fuck that's right
I am assuming the sectec unseen blades can benefit from 2pc?
yes
Im saying, maybe ur proccing unseen blades while already having coup ready (4stacks) therefore getting less coup casts than normal
Yea that is some of the procs for sure. Just looking at other logs and I see stacks on another rogue jump from 0 to 3-4.
Thanks
When you have Coup de Grace up- you should be shuriken storming instead of backstabbing/shadowstriking to build CP so you don't accidentally proc unseen blade while CdG is up thus wasting a stack
!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.
only in blades/aoe would you storm for cp
!wa
Is the tooltip about unseen only being able to happen once every 20 seconds accurate?
That's its default CD but some things cause that to reset
Default is a 20s cooldown, auto attacks have a change to reset that, tier 2pc allows the proc to potentially happen twice, and sectec always gives you 2 back to back ones.
Subjective question: would you guys take a juicy chest with leech or a socket?
leech
Depends what your current chest ilvl is
You can always take socket next week, cant take leech next week
How many sockets on non jewelry do u have? How close are u to not taking anything from vault
Not to mention to dps increase from sockets are miniscule anyway
also think about the healing logs
Exception being if you are like currently progressing p3 dimensius and need more damage right now
We are currently progressing Saladbar
So no, damage is not the problem
Holy, chest with leech and helmet with avoidance
Why does that stuff always show up in the same vault


We should pickpocket the vault
lmao could you imagine
rogues can pick the vaults lock to get next weeks item early
one hour til deep dive, forgot that was today
!log
are you lot crafting the binding of binding if in a group with 3 others that have it?
also do i have too much haste? 😛
haha ^^ nice
is there an addon/weakuara that'll auto apply to specific keys for me
@vale pine how do i sim the binding of binding ring in raidbots?
or do i have to do 1h queue simulator manually
There’s addons that let you select which dungeons, and you can specify key level with x-y
ye, i want them to scan through group finder with those args and apply for me too
Is there a soft cap or a diminishing return cap for vers and mastery?
every stat has less benefits once you hit a certain value
if you mean "should i not use the stat"
They specifically broke the functionality for this
Pretty sure it used to exist
well just sim it, the simulations considers those
But bots and stuff abused it
oh ok
right it was the world quest group finder thing
does it not work if you just put it in?
i remember
Ahh okay, just checking, so that’s why a higher vers/ lower mastery ring sims higher for me right now
well nope, and also you cant seem to select how many people have it etc
With a 34 I will get prism, sure 
Better take from vault and done
When I was pugging I set very specific filters and put an autoclicker on to refresh every so often while watching stuff on other monitor
this is bannable lol
mildly
Reporting you so I can parse

pugging = 4 huors of clicking sing up
friends = 4 hours of waiting for 1 guy to make a drink
In df3 I applied for about 4 hours while doing work on the side a day and it took a week to get into an io key
if they banned me for auto clicking so be it (don’t pug high keys it sucks especially when you’re not hard meta)
I’m 1 guy
!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.
In M+ outside of CDs, how much should you rupture spread and I should be shurikening instead of BS correct?
in m+ outside of cds you might as well go refill your drink
Depends on the target count and how much HP stuff has
hey is this accurate i didnt expect to get medaillon so i crafted neck 2 days ago 😅 i did 0% miss on antenna which might have been dumb can anyone please tell me what an accurate % is? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/1amhBcT1BFQsf2ZRGos2Lp
how do you do this lol?
Hmm, is there a general rule?
Like if I’m caught without flag/SB I’ll shuriken and spread ruptures a few times and then shuriken BP. Of course keeping in mind CD timing and not sending too many dances
Look at one of your logs and check yourself to give you a more accurate number
so for example
thewarwithin.binding_of_binding_on_you=1
i dont have antenna yet its my vault 😅
or did i misundderstand
Oh yea hmm
is that just in the custom bit in top gear or do i need to run an advanced?
can put it in custom apl in top gear
okayy ty
In keys 10% is probably safe
yes
🙏 ty
!log
ofc you can set it to the number you want
to specify whatever you want to test
the table shows the range you can use
ok i am crafting a ring but i want to see as 3 people in our stack already have it
we cant figure out if its worth lol
to craft for me or all 5
ive got 16k vers and 24k mastery them stats look good?
sweet. was gonna buy creephide cord
dunno whether or not to get more mastery or vers
101% mastery unsure of the diminishing returns
pretty much 19k vers with flask
is that with flask?
are you chad used to be top dps on keys ? i feel like im always 0.5M behind, playing 16/17 keys
13k/20k/20k is certainly where raidbots likes me to be
You should sim it
yeh i got 11k crit
Can look at some different belt types
11k crit 23.9k mastery and prety much 19k vers with flask
vers flask?
ye
oh lol didnt even see wowhead suggests that, i just looked at what raidbot sims with and that was chaos flask
They’re almost identical and if you aren’t potting then a single stat flask is better
Should we be aiming for 20k vers with flask or without?
Chaos only gains from the pot thing
yeah i do always use pot
Not something u should pay attention to
Just Sim don't think or look at stats ever
is it sketchy to macro araz to blades while running araz + prism?
nah that's what you do
obviously not the most optimal thing to do, but am i really screwing it by doing that?
!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.
aight cool, thanks!
Anyone here willing to look at some logs to give me some insight on NK platform damage?
rogue shown adventuring with Arator, we're so back
lol showing a clone attack spree for valeera but not outlaw
Hey guyz, i'm switching sub for araz MM and i need a good POV with a historic of skills used, any suggestions ?
YouTube search “mythic araz rogue pov” and take your pic.
i did and they're not that good
the top 3 results all show ability use
idk what more you want
go to lorrgs.io to check cd use that's all you really need to know idk
Could look at lorggs to for what others used CDs
was hoping to see something about apex talents in the deep dive but we'll see what comes up in the QA
Thanks for your absolute useless answers, i already know these tools, dunno why i'm losing time post a question on a discord with people that just answer useless things that i didnt ask
I asked what more you want besides kill vids with ability use
you said nothing
because the top results all had that
so that's on you
this makes me want to help you so much

What did I just read?
idk some cringe shit

this is the funniest thing
good thing he knows those tools
Oh, they're up? I gotta see the sub apex

rogues not tho lmao
any way to sim all different soleah stats at once?
THEY KNOW
its stealthed 
so our hero talents are off to the right of the regular hero tree
what a shame i pref watch a video and analyze logs than just analyzing logs. I asked a POV, there isn't that much on YT and i don't know good raid streamers on Twitch. If you can't answer to my question don't say "go on lorrgs "
What other answers do you want? Go to Warcraft logs and watch replay?
@swift tinsel 
Go on lorrgs mate
alpha Midnight Collection post.
Alpha comes with a bunch of talent changes and the new apex talents.
This post collects information pieces released, i will update it as more information comes out.
Articles:
TL;DR:
- Shadowstrike is our main damage source.
- We most likely send our cooldowns once every 90 sec and have 74 sec downtime between.
For discussions and Information around Midnight, we created a seperate channel: #midnight-subtlety
Spec "rogue-subtlety" not found
biggest W
Cold blood changed
FUCK

we are hasting
the law treatment
nooo they made FW more important
It literally is law treatment
why would you do this
yeah it's a passive now
I love friction with my 1 second gcd
Which is interesting
you love waiting for coup? wait for storm as well now
i love waiting
in dance
fucking dumbasses designing
yeah some of these changes are realllllllll weird
Really not a fan of that change to Shadowed Finishers
'cos it makes FW even more impactful and FW fucking sucks.
its the same
really not a fan FW is still there and also the first node
just no longer split
Danse change is cool
A lot of crit synergy
LMFAOOO
also sectech
RIP vers stacking
Holy
yeah that part was neat
wait i just got home
also coldblood is now a chance
oh boi
you want to stack haste/crit
