Weve had too much fun it seems
From 0 is really hard
I did play sub during aberrus but I think that version of sub is a meme for how easy it was
Reading the SoD segment on wowhead hurts my brain

Use it when sectech has 10 or less left of its cd
And flag isnt coming up soon (in like 25-30 seconds)
Okay that seems a lot easier to remember
hey guys, did a fractilus kill last night that pretty much mirrors cast for cast one of the top logs, however lags behind in coup de grace damage by a large margin. cant really get why that is. could someone more knowledgeable than i take a look?
This kinda confuses me tho since we have 3 charges right so can't you use it for both sectec and flag? Apart from opener
You need 2 for every flag&blades
dont try to compare to the top dog he got god rng
and yea his coups are insane for some reason
so it is really rng dependant? thats what i thought
People cheating
kinda sucks
haha
sub is not super rng until you get the 4 coups in 1 dance kind of rng
with other procs
then you go ah
so this can happen
like our cast numbers are almost one for one with all other abilities and the kill time is seconds different
and he had 1.5 mil on coup
and i had like 850k
we will solve it together š
Sub is one of the more rng specs in the game currently
daddy kush
Not as bad as dark ranger but pretty high variance still
M'Lord
sub has no super high variance if you do 100000 pulls
but we dont so not getting those extra coups on cds
is brutal
even more if kill time gets lower and lower
- there is a difference in using sec tech with 12 flawless or 27
and all the other bs that can happen
like coup crits are also quite gamba
if you crit in the end part vs the first 2 hits
is CB a thing in aoe now?
!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.
I noticed a couple of times on Sould Hunter prog coup would not proc at all in the first shadow dance and would be stuck at 3 stacks, is that just unlucky RNG? Only happened a few times but it hurt when it did
Yeah that can happen
if you dont get a reset on your regular unseen blade or proc any of your 2p
!prepull however if you do this second thing it wont happen
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.
So basically you only ever use SoD in combination with sec tech or flag&blades?
and only use it on sec tech if flag&blades are not close to coming off cdf

By "it's cooldown" does that refer to the 20s cd on unseen blade?
Trying to wrap my head where damage come from with trickster
So when youre talking about sub being RNG. What's Rgn about it currently?

procs of unseen blades
and 2p
which decide just how well coup de grace lines up with your cooldowns
is dungeon slice supported for sub?
One more dumb question, are escalating blade stacks, the unseen blade proc stacks?
yes

I think rogue might be the only class with supported dungeon slice
not complaining tho 
made by rogues for rogues
!wa
@tepid trellis we're on soul hunters. range dps aint great so we're hitting like 2% at enrage. Think I'm better off sending partial blades before the 3rd intermission instead of holding til after since they're both shortened windows
the timings there are cursed
i just send on cd (just not in intermissions)
we hit the enrage a couple times and was going to try that on next attempt
Ryldd had some nice timings that works well if you just about get last intermission iirc
but if you hit enrage, you loose a cast i think
if you do his
yeah I was trying to look over the timings. we're just low dps in general. range struggling with soaks and dps
unironically I think outlaw would be better for where we are
had a 0.2% wipe on a reclear last reset
where i was doing over 10
just rng roll it xD
I think I got like two pulls where I got coup during first flag out of an entire raid night

does anyone use a "special" keybind for the CD lineups - i.e potion + blades + prism
getting tired of perssing every key manually
only for when your prism is up, you have flag etc etc and never pressed outside this
i press everything manually
gotta disorienting cheese
I read the command but I'm a bit confused. exactly how do you do that cheese?
is it sending sec tech but not landing any more autos or what?
As youāre wiping, you cast a secret technique. Then donāt press bs/shadowstrike again
I don't think its quite what you're looking for, and having everything bound manually is for sure the way, but I do have separate macros bound for sblades + sectech + sod + forge and a second for the same with prism. So depending which CD set I'm in I just hit that bind after Dance backstab. I figure losing the backstab Sod is worth the free smooth brain power
yeah i have everyone bound manually
including CB
just in general presing 5 different buff keys before is start playing is getting omega tiring
Some binds are ok though right? I can't think of a reason why blades+trinket would be bad (not counting prism exceptions)
Ye ofc

like I have a separate button for sec tech, and another one with sec tech+CB
I mean its one of those as long as you are doing your rotation correctly, the buttons you are pressing to do it doesn't really matter that much
Just don't bind sstrike to 1 and evisc to 9 unless you want to play keyboard ddr
or have a cool keyboard layout
Also an option
wheres the new toy i got question mark instead š
i mean outlaw and sin got the bottom one ... š
yes and they also arent sub rogue
we are the redheaded stepchild
thats locked in the basement
does anyone wanna play assa in specific keys?
okay, thats not too bad
Ive kept forgetting to ask, should my top dam dealer for logs be sectec?
Ok ok i can do that, i was looking at another sub one time while learning (still am) and saw his sectec was top, i thought i was doing it wrong
Another thing cus i cant check cus work, wtf is black powder supposed to do
It spreads find weakness doesnt it? Does it spread anything else like bleeds?
is it possible to sim the boe rings?
Top gear. Add item and ilevel at top of it
slowpoke
when i do that it comes up as only stam
with 0 secondaries
and if i start typing the specific name of the ring (entropy of the peerless) or whatever it says item not found
Sorry I was depleting floodgate 18 because my dk had under 9mil overall
on you for playing m+
Once you add it you hit the + to select stats
Itāll still just be called entropy in top gear
thank you
does using tricks on a tank during raid do much? is there any specific raid tuning that makes it pointless? my tanks have been having aggro swap issues on some parts of the m saladbar fight, was wondering if a tricks during a specific time would help
Tricks does not help with aggro issues on tank these days. Its pretty good at helping yourself not get aggro but thats kinda it. They will need to figure it out themself. Also keep in mind that while dance we have nearly no aggro generation anyway and outside we have no dmg so we cannt give any meaningful aggro to begin with
ah okay thank you much
Oh my, my coup is number 1 but barely. Same amount of casts but half the damage
how can i see all ! commands?
should include the important ones
All about getting the coups done in your dances
my guess is its not hittign coup first in SD if its up
so im missing out on the whole thing being amped
prio is just sectech over coup
thats about it
then get lucky at the timings of your coup procs
and its a done deal

so in m+ when shadow blades is down say after the burst how often should i be sending symbols+dance+sectec
like i dont think its an exact science ofc but should i be holding like a charge of each or so?
as many times as you can, but still having enough to do 2x of each thing in your next blades
right ok
hey smexy people! i have an erh sim thingy ive simmed a dg slice and a patchwerk 5 tar 90seconds no lube. so heres the sims https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kb4TAaMC9KzHnPrjF5FpDM https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/xjLG1qac7cq3fB8Pv7wBhU which one do i "believe" or rather which one do i follow? kind regards a gnome with issues.
just have a feel for cdr stuff then i assume ?
90s 5 targets is not enough to emulate aoe situations
like symbols doesnt have cdr obv but dance and sectec do. do i ever send a dance sec tec by itself?
yes you need to get a feel for it
gotcha ill keep jus trying stuff then
It's a complex topic, but in general is always use a SoB with ST and a Dance if you a have a charge you can spend respecting the 2x Dance for Flag.
What do i set it to then?
right ok just pay attention to the cooldown timers and play off that common sense really ok less complicated than i suspected it might be
Dungeon Slice will get you there! For pure aoe because of the the 90sec CD window, consider simming 2min or 4min. Something outside your cds, where multiple trinket use are available
Will try those now!
Just remember to consider that CDR when looking at your timers, you'll eventually develop a feel for it
wait can you adjust dungeon slice sim duration? I thought it overrides to 6sec
do you need to enter something in the custom APL or something?
I meant dungeon slice in general is good idea for M+ sim. For pure aoe (your 5 target sim), you should increse the time allowing multiple trinket uses
dslice is 6min dont think you can change that, but ive never tried since i dont do dslice sims ever
why not? don't do a lot of m+ or do you just sim ST always?
i just dont sim for dungeons
idk how much it matters
when i still did high key pushing i just tested different setups
Do you know if dslice has fight length variance as well or if itās fixed 6 min
(I know I could easily test myself but Iām not on the computer)
Because if itās fixed 6 min, itād make sense that forge sims so shit on dslice
I'm pretty sure it's fixed 6min
it has variance
wait I think I misunderstood, what do you mean by fight length variance?
since the fight length is fixed at 6m
has variance on pulls time to die
and general lenght
so it sims lots of chunks from 4 mins to 6 mins in the case of a 5 min sim
like if you do 100000 iterations it does like 10k of each increment of times etc.
and it takes the average of those or how does it work
so in the case of a dslice which is baseline 6min some of them will be 5min and some will be 7
it will show you the median
or rather one of the medians
so if you would do the exact same sim 5 times
it will give a slightly different output?
so it would not affect the way a trinket performs
cuz it does 60k iterations
I guess that makes sense if the variance can only be 20% since trinket won't be off cd
or in this case here 40k of them
!fuu

I think he means if you would do 5 iterations and see the diff between them
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rbZeMBeHQwWN4XpnY9HnJv why is this so low??
Ye ig he didnāt correct that he meant what I said
What do you mean
seems like a pretty normal sim for you gear
It 100% does. Forge is significantly better on a strict 5 min timer compared to 5 min with 20% variance
Yeah and its significantly worse if the fight is 8 mins or longer
havent been lucky with the boots yet but antenna instead iof pacemaker wont be that much of a diff
and ive seen people do 5.2 5.3 on sims
Because in both edge cases of variance being maxed out, you miss a cast of forge or forge has 30 sec cd left
And if the fight is 2:30 forge+passive is way better
well yeah cuz they have those said items and are like 722 equipped
I actually never simmed this. Whatās the diff between passive+prism and forge+prism?
A lot
Unless its specifically 2:30 or 4:30, then forge+passive is good
Oh wait you meant forge+prism
Ya
But yeah the longer the fight the worse double on-use is
Because a lot of the benefit is from being able to have a trinket on pull
Is everyone elseās wow characters deleted
I wonder if it could make sense using forge with cds on pull on araz and send ~2 prism stacks on the adds at 30 sec
Since you actually gain something from tfd
Ngl I can't follow along anymore at this point
!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.
No I think I asked what variance was I just meant the length thing idk

Whatās wrong with it
What the helly
typeshit twin
I cleared didnāt notice that
If I want to do high add damage on M araz do I just cleave off boss with ST rotation or should I be pressing black powder instead of non coup evis?
in AoE situations i feel like blasting evis works wonders over BP am i wrong?
i prefer the prio damage in a lot of situations
low ilvl trinkets, no soulhunter boots
normal to mythic soulhunter boots for me was 66k on sim
Doing like 6 shadowstrikes in a row without a coup stack is infuriating when you are sitting on 3 stacks already
Question do we have to stick with the target we use flagellation or can we just tab target to spread the rupture ? Ty in advance.
is that a bug or just unlucky as fuck, that only happens to me at 3 stacks too
idk its happened to me so much where i dont even get my coup until after my second ST even with first dance and do like no damage. 
with lust and thousand cuts it just seems so impossible
Can happen if you dont get any 2p procs or thousand cut resets ye
!prepull #2 here prevents it, but its a bit oof
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.

Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
i do the supercharge but not the other
maybe ill try to work that in but yeah seems hard af to have ST off CD when you are wiping since we use it so rotational
so secret tech should be followed up with what finisher mostly? or does it fully matter which one
!WA
You can spread it, IT will counts stacks anyway yee
adjusting for fight length (5:30) why did this guy do 1.5 million more dps than I did on loom? I had a pull with no threads and thought I would do well but my damage was dogshit.
i had 76 unseen blade procs to his 97
am i fucking up or something
he did proc better than you yes
also had an extra cast of sectec
you dropped a gcd in tfd and also held your 2nd sectec for super long
i sent it on the second global after my backstab
of the 2nd dance
there has to be something im doing way wrong for 1.5 mill dps
thats wild
He also pushed into amp phases faster therefore even adjusting for kill time if push time isnt the same damage will be different.
There were still issues but you have to take factors like that into account
what are the other issues aside from the 1 global in that dance
you guys think 710 heroic soul hunters reshii wraps boots would be more worth over 720 crafted boots (no embellishment)?
yes
yeah the 710 reshii boos simmed about 17k higher
Is there a weak aura to track specificly when to hold shadow dance for the next Shadow Blades?
probs a ton, i made a trigger to make my sd be red when blades is under 35s
A good sub rogue who manages their CDs/rotation well, and with the right trinkets can easily be at the top of the damage meters in raid, yes?
I've always know sub to be THE funnel/ST spec, especially in raid, especially traditionally.
Someone tried telling me that sub basically sucks because they showed me a 95th percentile of manaforge omega dps specs and sub rogue is at the bottom.
The funny thing is, I've always seen sub rogues at the top of the damage meters during mythic prog, while these same raid charts will have shown them in the middle or towards the bottom
We don't have funnel, our ST is pretty bad. Just look at fract for that
We should peak when we send our cds, but we basically do no damage outside of that very specific window. This raid just has a lot of windows where we can leverage that well
Unless you are significantly better than every other member of your raid, you will not be easily at the top on plexus/loomithar/soulhunter (maybe easier than the rest)/fractillus
you can leverage your strengths (cd flexibility, st burst, burst cleave) to be near the top or top of soulbinder, araz, nexus, dimensius
and your sustained st is very bad yes
thankfully sub is very good at abusing burst add spawns and damage amps so you can still do well despite that
Well I'm getting my rogue geared up for sub rogue atm, I remember the rotation and managing CDs because I played it before. Should I expect to be disappointed or mid-dps, or 2-3 spots above tank damage?
depends on the fight, Ryldd covered where we can be good and where we won't be so hot
you probably wont be very happy on fractillus in particular where sub is the worst spec in the game but you can def have some big pop offs on some of the good bosses i mentioned above
Surely Blizz will see a traditionally top performing raid spec all the way at the bottom, and perhaps give them a little buff
I think it's a good season for sub all things considered because on the harder fights we do well in
yep can't really complain
We'll prolly not get significant changes. ST buff in exchange for nerfed aoe would be ideal but I doubt we'll get such tuning
The damage amp phase just confuse me a bit. Araz for example, when you switch to attack towers, is it ever worth to send flag + sb during that time? Or hold it for damage amp phase, and only use symbols dance sectec?
I just held for damage amps. Let ranged deal with intermission
not even symbols or dance tbh because you want everything up for the amps
unless you're gonna overcap significantly
What you doing during those long intermissions then? Send a dance symbols combo if about to cap?
backstab soup
but yes, send dance symbols and sec tech if you'll overcap
The one thing I always found appealing about sub is that it creeps up out of no where, and people are usually impressed by a sub rogue
One minute you're like #6-8 in dps, 1 minute later you flew to the top of the meter
for sure, I also really like that about sub and this season has many moments where you can do that
why exactly is "The Rotten" a m+ talent? what makes it better than grabbing 6% crit during symbols?
i just wonder bc we swap 2 talent points from raid build to m+ build, double rupture makes sense, but the swap from symbols crit to rotten doesn't. i must be missing something crucial
is it because it just does a little bit more with nimble flurry active?
Is having two active trinkets more acceptably meta now? For example if you have prism and araz
Basically giving you a huge on-use for each big CDs window
Yes
Sub hasnt been a funnel spec in 7 years
bfa s1 was 7 years ago

ohh yeah that makes sense. thanks
With a lot of crit, I pref play with finality
!log
I think I might have misunderstood the guides but when my 2nd set of cds come back up and I have rupture on enemies in aoe where exactly do I send flagellation there ? Just before the symbols + shadow dance ?
Primarily confused because of these parts
Or would I go symbols + shadow dance into generator into flag into shadow blades
Flag before danc/sod
It' legit what the guide say
"Use symbol with flag" is a way to say, when you pressed flag, you need to sod>sectech during it
Just be at full CP, Flag > dance/sod > Sectech > ShadowBlades
Gotcha, thanks. Got a little mixed up since it says to use flag with enough CP to finish right after and dance asking to have low CP
Or, if you want, Flag > BP > Dance/sod / bs > Sectech > Shadowblades
Dance with low cp? where it is?
ur name brooo, outlaw is for the youngster.. my wrist hurts after 5min gamepplay
i did one dungeon on outlaw and i take a 1 day break from wow š
oh
Just don't use at 2 3 4 5 cp
makes way more sense now
You just want to benefit from premed
So you dance at low cp or at 6-7 if you finisher instant
haahahahah
fucking dead bro hahaha
its not difficult, its just spammy
!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.

Does sub suffer from target swapping duing CDs?
Hi ppl, if i interrupt coup during cast between slices, for example using vanish, it will result in a dps lost?
Dependeds what is up on mob but usually yes
the symbols of death macro I got from here preventsme from pressing symbols at all if I spam the button, any helpers?
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
I didn't misstype it
you have to change the name of spel in your game language
it's in english obviously
it activates the ability once, and then it doesn't let me press it again
Did you copy, paste? Or type it out
it wait that the effect end for what i understood
wat
The 10 secs of burst
So youāre saying symbols isnāt working at all
no I'm saying I press it, it activates once and I can't press it again for a while
and by a while I mean longer than the 2 seconds
Oh well donāt use it then lol
like if I just stand in dornogal and keep pressing it it prevents me from ever regaining the buff
longer than the duration?
Yeah itās the cqs
does it just re-cycle to null if I keep slamming it and that's why it keeps extending past the 2 seconds?
ahh yeah I see
No one know?
I found myself trying to squeeze one last "unoptimized" symbols in a bossfight and it didn't let me I was so confused, if I just stopped pressing it and clicked it after the 2 sec it'd be fine
can't say I do but I doubt it, only maybe leaving melee? but even then I doubt it "animation canceling" like that isn't rly common in wow
Castsequence macros start their timer everytime it gets pressed even without firing the skill
Exactly, my doubt is about animation canceling or when you are pushed back for example
Idk if the dmg is during all animation and need bodies touch or I can just insta-cast and cancel animation
yeye I didn't know but figured it out š
defeinitely need one of the big brains to answer ur qestion
Test it at a dummy, hit coup and vanish, look at details if you have all the hits
Coup should even immediately cancel vanish I think
you didn't understand then
It just waits 2 sec after each press to reset the macro
If you spam it, you'll never press SoD a second time, if you wait >2 sec after pressing once, you'll be able to use
I have the same behavior described
Have to wait since effect end
You sure you speaking about SoD and not dance?
Y
I did differents tried and I got that I can recast in 10 secs, the time to end my first part of rotation
I'll try in some minutes
And about your coup question, vanish is instant canceled by coup but coup isn't cancelled
I just tested now
Lemme check
Doesn't cancel
And for SoD macro https://vimeo.com/1124437119?share=copy
Proof it works fine
I macro dance, sod and bs in one macro, for QoL But will castsequence in below apply to the macro or just to backstab?

Don't macro sod and dance
Not if I use it when needed.
U can bind a macro and dance and SoD by itself
A bit dumb in my opinion but ok
A more keybind for weird reason
But everyone play like he want
Pressing one key is easier and faster than pressing three imho š
However, my question was about castseq
If I spam this - will Dance still activets twice? Or does reset=5 apply to the whole macro?
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
Iām not sure but should be pretty easy to test?
Dance will not
Because dance cannot ever activate again while active
But symbols might in your previous macro. Easy to check tho in game.

We also spend coup de grace eviscerate with 5-6 cp right?
cdg scales linearly so you don't need to follow the same rules.
how can i aoe rotation ?
technically sending it with more cp is good because it's more energy efficient, but whatever
single okey but i cant aoe dmg
cdg as top prio, you can black powder at 4 targets or more
you can

So if I have cdg, I use evizcerate even at 2 cp?
Quick question is it possible to start a m+ dungeon with 18 stacks of prism?
that shadowcraft wa doesnt work for me :<
you can use coup on lower cp, especially if the buff is about to run out

is double active trinket the best for m+ as sub? (rital + prism)
I have the oppertunity to take ritual forge myth track, and I have prism on hero track
But I only really play m+, so if its not better in m+ i probably wont take it š
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.
damn, I just have soo few keybinds left haha
don't worry, will get better in Midnight
are the changes good for sub? I quite like the outlaw ones, but havent checked out sub yet
no
i would just say it seems incomplete
Iām usually not a doomer but the changes seem bad all around but weāll see
the changes done so far don't fulfill one of the pullet points highlighted in their flavor text
Just disappointing cause Iād say this iteration of sub is one of if not the best Iāve played in the past 5 years
legion and the current one
yes
the problem with the current iteration is just the knowlage required to play it correct
I liked shadowlands sub :<
it was okay in seaosn 2, it had some amount of ups and downs due to flagellation
season 3 was especially boring
what can i macro tea to
shadow dance
Can we macro SD and backstab so we can skip 1 button?

i got blamed in my last key, becaus i use BP instead of Evis on the packs
big pulls before last boss ara kara
why would you fear about anything
open a guide for your key
que
build a team
play the game and have fun
I mean depends on the pack
Pulls with the swarm guards for example youād want to single target
Thereās a patrol with one of those down the middle right before the last boss
But havenāt really seen any groups go down the middle in a while
it was the pack on the left
I think itās better to single target down the casters so you can keep pulling
imo the small guys donāt really matter, how fast you can get through it depends on how fast those casters die
yeah, but they blame me for that. i got a whisper, i should do Evis instead of BP on Big Pulls
Well that as a blanket statement is just wrong
theyāre probably just looking for someone to blame
sounds like penis envy on their part, ngl!
Its a very small difference either way
it came from BM hunter :D
9M over all dps
his damage was insane, but he was toxic as hell
I dont get the rotation. How am I supposed to build stacks of unseen blade in AoE Rotation?
Shadowstrike
But dont I use Shuriken Storm for aoe?

Hey guys, do you know why I sucked on this key ? https://fr.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YtGBFRNnwcqa4bdM?fight=1&type=damage-done
I don't get how to consistently go beyond 10M on big pack - help š¢
So thistle tea can be macro'd to dance but should you try not to fall below 30 energy so it doesn't auto proc or is that not an optimization
Youve done BP in like.. 1 pack. You gotta do it at every pack with 4+ mobs
doesnt feel like doing dmg when BP

OK so either coup de grace when up then BP
Depends if your sim gains a signficant amount dropping crit.
thanks guys, will try
at 4+ targets yes
So with nimble flurry active and 4+ targets, BP will do more damage than evis?
But at 4 targets it could be worth to evis if there is a prio target I presume
Youāre already shadow striking it and using sectec on it
But sure if you absolutely want to kill that one target
You can evis
Okay so then nimble flurry doesn't really affect your rotation? Apart from causing you to use SS instead of shuriken storm on multiple targets
S-shadow str-ike??? Striking? Stricken?
If overall is less important than a priority target dying, losing aoe is probably worse for damage numbers but better for the group or dungeon timer. Example is priory if you have 0 funnel specs.
subtleties funnel is not that big
so you don't trade of numbers that make noticable diffrences
I mean surely it's worth something over nothing
we talk about like 5-10% diffrences
Thats pretty big
the majority of our priority damage is in coup and secret
10% more st damage if you have literally no other funnel spec on the big target is big.
Do I need to spam shuriken Storm to Apply find weakness to mobs around me ?
so yes, its more than nothing
No
Just press it while grouping or outside of dance
Donāt press it in dance
You donāt have to aim to apply FW to everything
So always Strike in Dance and evic <= 4 mobs and >=5 bp
Sure, you can bp at 4
Or evis
Bp is just more damage but at 4 itās not a big deal

Hello fellow rogues, I havenāt played sub since legion and looking to sink my teeth in. I just wanted to ask if the wowhead guide is up to date? I saw in the pins it was updated a few weeks ago so I assume it is. And if there was a you tube guide most would recommend as I usually learn better from that than just reading off the site.

thx fuu
if youre in a spot like outside of symbols/shadow dance where you're only getting a few combo points per backstab cast as opposed to like maxing out your combo point bar immediately, is there generally a threshold of combo points where its more worth it to cast a finisher as opposed to backstabbing more to get up to a full combo point bar? or is maxing out combo points before a finisher always preferred?

assa player trying to play sub
is there a simplified guide for how to dps
cant understand shit following wowhead guide
on first boss gambit, i always get purged by fire when i start my cds. What do you guys do on this boss? hold until after that mechanic or just cloak and greed?
you just cloak yes
Read one of the other two then. There should be a āsimpleā version on wowhead as well.

What specifically do you not understand?
Cloak
You donāt really need it for anything else that fight

bruh under 105% is like inting
sims keep telling me not to get more mastery lol
trust sim
You dont have identical setups to people you look at
racials trinkets etc
yeah im just tryna learn sub, outlaw has been rough getting into groups preciate it
yea, jokes aside, sims are the way to go, ignore stat weights in general
sub aint much better
i mean i dont know what keys u r doing but i have no troubles getting into keys up until +14
need FG for resil 15's and 1 15's than 16's
yeah make friends if youāre gonna play offmeta
hey guys in m+ how many ruptures i wanna have applied
But you apply rupture when not in dance and they live the duration
You also apply when tank is pulling
But dont really wait to send cooldowna
Its not worth
lol ok this kinda encapsulates
Can I vanish streets 1st boss Interrogation?
You can cloak it
vanish is much more fun

I see, thanks
So many behind the scenes passive things happening during gameplay it's hard to keep them all in mind
Almost all of them are a super small increase in output. It's more of a lose to screw up big time trying to make these small optimizations.
Don't overthink it too much
Yeah some of them I can't be bothered, I macrod cold blood with ST even if it is a loss
dont do what I did and hit CB sectec in between coup expecting your cp to refund, & then hit shuri to generate, wasting CB in a stacked prism dam amp

does anyone know if the runes that drop off of soul hunters are warbound or soulbound?

i got the mythic chest boe with heavy mastery/low vers. Use or sell?
Do you need gold? Or are you progging king/Dimmy and actually want the slight boost?
Just check out lorrgs how people time their CDs
But you usually dance and flag around adds/amp
!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.
im using the character to go help another guild
how many seconds does flag get reduced by with blessing of autumn?
also, does symbols have a macro that stops double presses?
!symbols
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
On say a +14 gambit first pull, how many ruptures should I put out before going into cds?
spread them until the tank is finished grouping and then send
can be a bit rough if your group sends their cds straight away and kills smallies but no point sending cds unless you are hitting everything
Ok. Is there ever a target count where we stop spreading ruptures outside of cds?

be prepared to send a flag half way through the pack
its kinda an experience thing
where you start to get a feel how long a pack will die
and whether if you send a flag on it will be worth or not
!sim
I have no idea what number 1 means in the !coup, what do you do if you hold finishers for 10 seconds, or even 20?
Just autoattack.
?
just backstab and don't use a finisher so you keep your sht stacks
having those up going into flag will result in higher peak for your next flag window
That's why sometimes I can use multiple finishers in a row? I have no idea where the combo points come from
!wa
the shdowcraft refund sound trigger should help you keep track of it better, but yea, it's this talent. if your shadow technique builds up to 7 and you use a finisher, it'll automatically give you 7 up so you can use a second finisher right away
I see, there's so much bloat on my screen and in the background since I last played. and everything needing weakauras doesn't help
Thanks for the explanation
Worth to use only symbols+dance if your flag is up but lets say that Tank bring just a small pack (like 3 mobs)?
I found myself in this situation sometimes while playing sub
Last time I looked lorrgs hasnāt been updated in like 5 weeks lol but surely not much has changed in regards to openers right?
Timed a 16 HoA today with a 12s freeze on Echelon after using 18 stack prism with pot. Barely timed the damn key I was sweating. But in general just send your cds on cd unless the pack is about to die most tanks seem to chain anyway so just donāt sit on them ever
Aggressive usage of cloak during cds when shit is all over helps also
doing all these
allways top dps
Not sure If I was clear in the question but the point is Just use a small burst (symbols+ dance only) and keep flag for a bigger pack.
still mobs not dying
Yeah itās common but thereās no easy answer itās just depends on many different variables, just wanna make sure it doesnāt mess you up for when you do wanna use blades
Topping dps with mobs not dying? If they dont die u go to the "backstab stage" and your dps climbs down
Explain that please
even on backstab stage they dont die š

that s a really meme thing tho, i think i ve seen the highest being 230% but that s on dh and with stacking multiple speed things. Idk about the gear speed% only cap
When do you want to get blessing of summer during dimensius
i believe on the last platform
is there a scenario where we press symbols without dance?
usually not
so i macro it with dance?
on the 2nd platform - you also want autumn not summer
No there are times when sectec comes up before dance ends
You want to send sectec with symbols
one of the most asked questions
you can , but its not ideal
ty
because especially your 2nd dance in cooldowns, you often want to use it delayed
for simplicity, can macro it but you trade of a bit of dps
723 mythic lily over 710 hc forge? is it worth to use lily over hc forge? from sims it seems pretty equal but idk lily feels like its worse imo
I need some help with araz. I every other add spawn i dont have cds and i dont do much dps. I always send all cds on pull. Should i be keeping my cds at start and send them at the first add spawn ?
!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.
it depends for our prog kill dks held CDS until first adds spawn
you could prob do the same
!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.

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.
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

Why I'm doing more dmg with eviscerate than black powder on the 5 target dummys?

Hello guys, i just approched the rogue recently and jumped into sub, there is one thing in particular that tilt me, it's about that everyguide wowhead/icyveins says that you want to cast another SD after the first one ends during the 1.30 CD window, but to wait to cast Symbol untill Shadow Teq reaches 10 sec or less, but i ends up everytime on having the second shadow teq ready before the first SD even fall off and this ends up me pressing simultaniously SoD and SD and right after shadow teq it is me doing something wrong or has to be like this? so realistically i can't physically refresh first SD and wait on the shadow because everything overlap badly

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
you're using first dance talent so you first SD after leaving stealth last a lil longe
finally got hpal
but you should wait to use the 2nd to use the sec tec cuz if you throw it at the end of the 1st you might no get the full SD damage buff for all sectec hits
ya its risky throwing the 2nd stec at end of first dance.
really risk missing shadowdance dmg buff, so usually i prefer using it on the second Dance

btw can we just play sub for all bosses in manaforge omega. switching to assas feels really tiring
yes
i'm doing this too
and sub isnt like super far behind assas right for pure ST?
i just wanna use the same set of gear and switch to pure ST or cleave with rupture at most.
sub is better for the bosses that matter at this point tbh
ya im progressing Araz now.
the pure faceroll fights like Plexus sentinel usually the DKs or Mages / Hunters are top
yea you should go sub after that
maybe switch for fract
but being really honest i haven't been switching for a while now
guild will start extending on nexus king now
lmao
is just sad
