And theres a very large difference between some guilds in those stats regardless of wr 
You got link?
tbf thats kinda meaningless
best example is jsut looking at echo vs liquid
liquid always spend significantly more time pulling than echo
i doubt anyone would argue one is better than the other based on that
Well it also tracks total raid time, as in difference between first pull and last pull
But yes youre right
Tho RWF cant rly be compared to regular raiding
Im not saying one style is better, its just interesting to look at
Nobody stops the raid for half an hour to figure strats
Nha, we trust the RL
Honestly cant wait for the first RWF in Midnight
no but guilds that raid very little, prep a lot outside of raid
at the high end i mean
obviously if you are a 1 day guild world 5000
prolly not spending myuch time
Yea, I'd argue all but top few prep everything outside
What's the most accurate? Wowprogress or wlogs?
Nothing is truly accurate stats are an estimate
Because you cant access the chinese API
Wowprogress doesnt even try to include chinese guilds, wacraftlogs does, as does raider.io
Make sense
But no care about ranking tbh, raiding is just having fun with some friendly mates while challenging an hard encounter
too many ppl care about ranking
good guilds for example
are sims taking into account the belt nerf? for some reason even mythic gloves sim higher than a 730 belt with vers mastery
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7udJ4mJRb2ge3UAb5yCiK5
sim link for reference
yes belt is already nerfed in sims
i think its because my crit is very low
19% everything with crit is an upgrade
so losing crit from belt even nerfed is bad
well it depends now you replace it with a 714 or 710 belt
before some people did not even replace it with a 730
i could replace it with a 723 losing 4k dps after fix
a 717 is 35k dps upgrade
What make a guild a good one?
hall of fame for example or cutting edge early (not some guilds that get CE last day with full bis gear and 200 nerfs)
So you don't get the point
You can play with really good players but only play 5 hours a week
You won't get HoF
Having CE > 96% of players

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.
if you're in a guild that doesn't care about rankings and just gets CE for fun then you are lucky, those are very rare
good players + not caring too much
I pref 100 times play with "not the most competitive guys" but having good time than spend 9-12 hours a week next to players with an horrible behaviour
Cuz, more you play "high level" more the vibes are toxics
imo
many of us prefer that but also not pulling a boss 1500 times is cool sometimes
although friend guilds and regular guilds dont even raid that much too so it always depends
"imo"
Ranking is a weird topic but if you wanna fight a hard boss, you basically have to raid more
Dimensius is a joke after reset and this much ilvl
Like I'd rather raid 2 days 3 hours, but if I wanna play the actual game raiding, you p much have to raid at least 3 days a week to see the content before blizzard nerfs or ilvl gets too high
its more like 7 days
they neutered dimmy p1 on our 2nd night on him
and we are around wr 50-70
Yea I remember foreverguy tweeting about that one too
He was what, like4-5% on it, reset hpapens, ggs boss dies in 2 pulls or w/e
I think CE is a rather chill experience, but I also just don't wanna have prog until end of season either
Idk why they don't just let ilvl run its natural course of progression
I just wanna kill a boss when its hard zzz
Like the ilvl IS the nerf
its probably my biggest reason why I dislike raiding
Raiding only gets easier
M+ can get harder
Halfway through NK prog. Nerf happens. Dies on pull 3 of the night i cba
You got a point there
I do think that the turbo boost is really good for the majority of the community, people need the ilvl to progress content, and the nerfs as well
I just wish they'd wait towards when people are more max ilvl so they can accurately nerf FOR those people
Because those nerfs aren't for the people that are just progging and not palying 7 days a week
Just get HoF 4head
I mean, we did, us 47
Just sucks that were smurfing a tier as 2day and bosses are nerfed
well that do happen
i dont envy them trying to balance raid long term vs roster boss for some of the lower CE guilds
always going to piss off a guild progging on it with a nerf
this new 730 item upg is fked š
!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.
i wish they let u fight an optional unnerfed version of a boss for fun
like talk to a bronze dragon or whatever
i wanna fight unnerfed dimmy
Iām surprised they havenāt tbh unless thereās some weird code shit preventing it
^ theres weird shit preventing everything in this game
me when i hit flag and then we wipe now my raid lead has to set a 90 second pull timer
bro im being randomly teleported to tazavesh whenever i try to upgrade gear
any cd tips for nexus king? killing it tonight most likely and have not felt too hot with my cds since autumn aint available and platform cds feels abit awkward and I dont feel like I get full juice on burn. I play prism + passive and now with turbo boost and new 3 percent I am debating abt just dropping popping flag and blades on platform and holding till burn.
its the univers, idk what you did to upset it


btw how high should our single target simms be at the moment?

can get a good burn flagging off cd with no autumn
just wait until flag and spread ruptures on platform though if u dance before flag its kinda messy
and also can just pool coup/sht stacks before amp and start going once flag comes back if u were good about keeping flag on cd
idk ideal prism + passive cd timings though
probably depends on how much u want platform dam
cheers yeah will stick with it and just git gud tonight
post a log
what is the command for orc maghar on raidbot pls?
should be like this for no autumn
orange is flag yellow is shadow dance
If your group can easily do the platform without your flag you can skip it
I did in reclear last night just doing some boss damage testing
Lets you get the autumn burn off for damage amp without autumn 
Iām very geared and Iām at 5.3ish
is antenna or forge trinket better for nexus prince
Think 723 or something
Antenna is pretty decent esp for burn
Forge is easier to play with and similar overall results
If youāre not going to play antenna properly or you are trying to focus more on prog mechanics, Iād recommend forge
whats the antenna mechanic like even?
Orbs that SLOWLY drift to you
And you have to either kite them or pick them up depending on cd timers
Basically you get cucked by movement, but thereās down time on the fight that allows for easy use of antenna
Like platforms or burn
is that why forge is reccomended on dimmy?
that somehow sounds worse than transmitter
Mmmm
Not really
It isnāt rare to proc
With transmitter if you miss it thatās all your damage gone
At least with this itās just a boost that happens quite often
Your main steroid is going to come from prism anyways
yeah i got mythic prism at lesat
i just cant decide whether i should try to get antenna or forge first
maybe antenna first
Itās kinda like that but more random
@warm marlin i tried the snd thing and it felt kind of weird, do i want to symbols later so farming sectech cdr doesnt eat as much into my sht stacks?
but ill end up with both when dinars come out then
i see
i mean transmitter you control when you do the minigame
i think i probably didnt execute it correctly
antenna you just run aroudn the entire time
Yeah well
You have like 20 sec for the orbs or something
From when it procs
But the random nature of its procs makes it yeah
Unreliable on some fights
Personally I just played forge for prog
Easy, no brainer
Guaranteed to do well with it
Oh yeah that trinky pretty good for dim
We did no hold this week, timers are GIGA ASS for sub without holding
Ye
Turns out if the pad adds arent spawning at exactly 90s intervals sub aint that good of a spec 

once it goes faster and u can do 2nd flag on artoshion and 3rd on amp will it be that bad
like heroic
Is arto first platform
yes
You canāt do that unless you hold a p1 flag I fear
i think so with 730 and buff
Def not happening
Yeah itās
Unfortunate
My flag came up 15 sec into platform 1
Just wasnāt worth sending
I sent on 2 with autumn
wonder if you still consider doing this with more turbo boost/renown
oh i meant just sacrificing 2nd flag in p1
even if the timers arent as favorable for it as heroic
It might be the play
But idk
Then you canāt flag platform 2
Like no matter what you do
You will lose a cd set
well if people arent holding on platform 2 the amp is more valuable right
Yes ofc
so maybe its fine idk
Yeah it could be
It depends who has cds though
Because since we arenāt holding
Platform 2 damage is lower in general
yea
it is
I didnāt like it tbh, but it gets us out of the raid quicker
And I donāt think my guild gives a fuck as long as we clear quick
They wanna play legion remix and other stuff
thats fair yeah
i feel like there has to be some sort of cook for deep farm thats good
but i dont know what it is
I mean I feel like the platforms should be excluded
thats fair
Because if people choose or not to skip cores changes damage, and then if you cheese kill an extra voidwarden it counts
Itās lame shit
honestly i dont know whats normal for excluding stuff in wow
in xiv that literally never happpened before i quit
(supposedly they considered it on the most recent savage tier)
I think if you can do anything that purposefully allows you to pad more damage
It should be excluded
ic
Like killing an extra voidwarden is straight useless
It shouldnāt count
Being able to do like 100m more damage to arto or pargoth because you skip a core is also stupid
On nexus people say the platforms should be removed but at least itās always the same adds
Same shit every time
0 variance
yeah
You literally CANT change that fight
skipping cores is so funny
Yeah we had to skip before turbo boost once
Because we killed too fast for hold strat
i think we might have to
we swapped off artoshion to target the void men and he still got cleaved down before rock
funny fight
Then we can all be ethical boss deleters
what is this š
Soul hunter trinket
Have you tried simming forge as trinket 1
And prism as trinket 2
I think that matters
should i?
Yes I believe so
I think sims use 1 then 2
Well your actual gear doesnāt matter
But I think for double on use the sims use trinket 1 first every time
Unless that was changed in some simc update
i see
i meant the order
i have prism as use 13 and forge as use 14
just drag em to other spot in each set
also do u have any insight on replicating shadows on nexus king
i see some people do it but im unsure of its value
Itās ok but you have to give up PE
Difference is probably less than regular variance
i like pe
Think the only fight that actually warrants RS is soul hunters
yeah thats true
ive been considering doing flag -> 2x rupture -> blades on soul hunters but
i dont know how to tell if thats good
and i dont see anyone else do it
Just play normally I think
Most of the RS value comes from outside your cds
Because you literally do nothing outside of cds
It is
But not good enough to change rotation
Only thing is, refresh before intermissions
Since they take damage while up in the air
Just ran a sim of myself and the difference looks almost negligible between swapping trinket positions so honestly 
No fkin clue
quick quest, can i macro SOD with SD ?
is it actually good
I mean it does damage
Thatās about it
It definitely wonāt be as good for abusing amps
i will run antena this reset just becasue i cba with normal forge
I ran antenna this clear
wonder when antenna+prism is better
Wasnāt that bad tbh
i think its definitely correct on soulbinder but also i think that boss is removed anyway
u r subti right
Yeah
i was looking at logs with antena and was bad at all
?
Now that you mention logs
Iām the only rogue running that shit on dim it seems
LMAO
I mean on .5 logs
eu is tonight
im only first 6/8 this week
i finish dimmy on monday since we have new trials progging the fight
i have some ideas but idk if theyre any good

i could just be overthinking it
Donāt check my prism usage on my dim kill this reset though
I kinda forgot to press the button
i saw that

i was like boy is delaying for his life
Yeah I forgot to press in p1
And I was like
Eh Iām saving for burn
We had problems in p1
you melt both drake nad boss at same time
I didnāt even have 18 stacked I think
im going to not use the snd macro
thats my entire plan (i think its either not that good or im too sutpid to use it properly )
probably 2nd one
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
How do you guys parse better on Sub? It seems like if I dont line up my CDs perfectly to get the perfect SecTec off on adds, my parse is low
anyone else not being able to re-craft their daggers? 2 different crafters have not been able to yet
yes
I mean thats kinda how it works
you have 1 insane go every 90s
if ive never used antenna how hard is it to use
most just fly towards you
and then you sidestep and take it
i've seen some hover near me but never come close enough to collect them
Like others have said
Thatās literally how
Either go for boss damage parses
Or suffer cringe
ty
Just replace it
Mine still sims better then what i got >.> Mythic belts arent real
And i aint dumping gilded on a belt
are boe belts more expensive now
But the delve belt got nuked this patch
Maybe in 2 weeks when turbo actually starts
i tricked myself into buying one
Much better things to spend crests on then a belt
full passive is ok
bc i was sure that the delve belt nerf would jack their prices up
i think we kill nexus today but ive only used forge/prism and got antenna in vault
i think with buffs platforms should explode so araz might be troll
Itās easy to use, you should still be able to full cd platform and burn
So araz isnāt troll
Itās probably still better for overall than antenna
what flask do you guys use in keys

Yeah you have to farm some cdr first then symbols
Itāll cap you pretty fast on sht
Fk all that noise though
Iām converted
I will hold a flag for add plat Iām if padding or hold it on add plat if Iām boss attacking
Temu autumn either way
I think i may just play assa brain off cd on cd this week
Too lazy to figure out timers
The parse was better than expected skipping add plat (minus like one dance) ngl
i think im just going to ditch the macro
maybe ur correct
i did feel cool bug abusing though
but i think my amp was just worse bc i executed the macro poorly
not yet surprisingly

A couple things with your image: I donāt think the unseens are worth much on their own, burn should prob be rup vanish strike flag BP dance bs etc so youāre getting only getting one unseen out of disorienting before you overwrite it anyway, and coup is prepped already. Main goal of the raw sectec there is to get coup up, if you already have it up itās probably fine to skip it. Think you also sent one snd too many (the rupture after flag will give 7s cdr too), could have symbols at 3:59 instead delaying it only 4s
TY
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/u5KaMbhbzjmTBAzevmv68v
got some big upgrades this week

Missing 3% FF + a little bit of unseen damage
I had a 42M dps burn yesterday just doing the rup vanish strike thing with coup and 14sht
Is Netherprism really as strong as the sim says for dslice? Itās telling me itās 300k better than Lily
Is it starting at max stacks or something?
No
no, this spec just does such dogshit dps outside of cds
It is just a crazy strong trinket
that all that really matters is stats during cds
Nothing else even comes close
Yeah it just seems wild how much better than Lily it is, on paper Lily seems perfect for sub
I just started playing it 4 days ago tho so Iām prbly just not thinking about it right
Oh Iām not saying prism doesnāt look good
Lily is good for sub
Just doesnāt seem like it should be THAT much better haha
It just straight up gives less than prism though
300k is absurd
Nah was just going 710 since thatās what my Lily is currently at
I only do mythic plus as well so mythic prism not gonna happen for me
But after swapping sub it has me considering pushing for mythic raiding.
Youād just go Lily>Lily>Prism>Lily>Prism etc
Generally yes but very few passive trinkets are good
Pace and antenna basically
But running double on use is very close in dps
Ok. I do have hero pacemaker and will buy a mythic one with dinars so thatās good
Honestly Iām still a little overwhelmed with the spec so one passive is prbly good for me
Until I get more comfortable
Still doing dumb shit occasionally like not having 2 dances ready for flag/blades and a few incorrect key presses during cds
ngl
this fucking patch on dimmy prog
is a headache
trying to figure out cd timings again
im back just when i start being antenna enjoyer
congrat
Iām having trouble understanding something in the opener on wowhead. So if we need 4 stacks of unseen blade to proc coup and unseen blade can only occur once every 20seconds how are we getting the coup to proc in that window?
it's so hard to see the orbs in the middle of everyone š
better araz and prism or antenna and prism?
Sectec
Tier
And that one talent in trickster that resets ub with autos
Ah ok I didnāt read 2 set. What the deal with sectec?
is prism + forge bis over prism + antenna with 730 ilvl?
Either is fine
just keep relogging as a crafter to solve
i run pace + Stone idol since i have that on myth and no forge yet in sight. But subtlty is fo much fun to learn to be honest
and going with my dog for a quick walk between cooldowns is awsome kinda XD
It is a lot of fun and very humbling. As assa I was top dmg almost every key I do but it was getting boring. Sub has so much more to it and I have a ton to improve on
did anyone check on 11.2.5 ptr, can we buy boots for dinars?
soul hunter boots, to be more precise
we will never forget you
tell em to press black arrow more
or to play a spec that a requires more than 2 buttons
funny thing is i had the most damage on the blood overseers ( ara kara after the second boss mobs)

I even tested it out myself by making a BM hunter
Oh my god

One of our hunters said make a hunter and see how āeasyā it is (sarcasm on easy). I said make a sub rogue and letās see who parses better.
if I decided to play hunter in legion remix.. will I miss out on cool rogue/leather/dagger tmogs?
padding is all sub is good for 
I'm desperate idk why i am doing such a shit dps this season... I don't see clearly what is off
This MFerā¦
oops

Yo guys - if i play forge + prism, do i just alternate between them even tho prism might not hit max stacks?
mamma mia
Well the alternative is like what, sending nothing on a cd window with 15/18 stacks or whatever of prism?
Yeah that was what i was wondering - didnt really seem worth
ethical gameplay by my standards
why is the log private tho
i thought yall were public now
think most people where in favor of private
"people will pad less" little do they know im the pad fiend of all
if someone have time to check and point me the omega obvious mistake/anything that makes my dps shit like that?
at the end of the day i would prefer them be public, so i can use them to show people stuff, but can still sorta do with screenshots, i just want my page to be pretty when i open it
ya i get it, we private log during prog for very similar reasons that you stated
just too many true sub gamers private log farm 
servers have issues all day, game is a bit cooked atm
i asked them to upload the left side on logs, and i got flamed
little did they know the racoon dog has a mask for a reason
clear ur name king at least you didnt bp
i did indeed not
Is delve belt still worth using?
I have to use first boss mythic belt to 720 for it to be an upgrade ;_;
š
am i wrong that you can switch flasks in combat?
i was trying to do that on loom lasts night and i kept getting some message about not being able to override a higher quality flask
except i only own t3 flasks
You might need a cancelaura macro
Thatās a maximum cheese strat but if you absolutely want mastery on the amp or whatever, maybe itās big gains heh
!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.
Otherwise use !log
Disc belt is simming 130k worse than my 704 hero track belt, am I doing something wrong?

How do I sim the different disc belt powers?
I might be slow, where is the +?
Ah I think I need the simc addon to even use it
Thatās prbly the issue
My weakaura that plays a little noise when I get shadowcraft resets bugs out and plays a noise every time I hit a button, but only on the platforms on mythic saladhands
Anyone else having that issue? Itās really weird
what !log do? !mistakes was not relevent.

You literally fuck up the opener before pressing dance. Perhaps reread !mistakes

so for using dance symbols, is it 2 in cds -> 2 out->2 in cds->1 out->repeat?
do we get increased vault ilvl for killing m soul hunters or did i imagine that
the ilvl you get from mythic vault is based on the ilvl of the loot of whatever the boss furthest in the raid you killed is
oh thanks, is it permanent or per week
pretty sure its permanent but idk
Lemme just go slam some +2s real quick to get Myth track vaults
nah dimensius is so cursed without autumn now
how fast did you push it now
i think it might be an angle soon to skip blades on platform 2
blades at 130 in p1 didnt have it up on pull of arto
was like 4s late
land on pargoth and blades are 25s away
no hold strat 
just ask for autumn 
Howād that go our guild was gonna do it but due to time restraints we just held dps(cringe)
we are currently struggling to kill pargoth since no one has cds

question for fellas
is sub rogue like a bad aoe class or am i doing something wrong?
im literally only doing any dps in my flag+blades window
you dont realy do damage outside of shadow dance yes
!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".
!aoe
General Gist of the Aoe rotation
- At ALL target counts cast Coup de Grace when it is ready.
- At ALL target counts cast Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance, not Shuriken Storm. (unless coup is ready, !coup)
- Cast Black powder instead of regular Eviscerate at 4 or more targets (there is no other secret rule).

!guide
openers are in there
our druid has half our raid team blocked 
does anyone mind actually explaining something for me or just redirecting me to websites ive already been to? lol
why? lol
what u looking for?
depends if your question is already explained in the guide
but sure try anyway
im trying to figure out why for every opener i use ST as soon as i pop shadowdance (outside of the first dance)
would it not be better to get aleast 3-4 stacks of danse macabre first?
because thats what the clanker says for us to do
playing around DM isn't really a thing
also leaving ST off cooldown means you can't press it sooner anyway
trickster and danse macabre isnt that big of a deal
plus pressing sectech gives us unseen blade procs
also you want to have stech for 2nd dance because its the one that does the big dam
tl;dr obey the guide
people smarter than you and me have figured out the optimisation
i asked why we dont build, i didnt ask for u to be a dick about it lmao
ah
yeah i usually get 2 st off when i have the first dance buff
i dont think you want to ST twice in one dance
you do indeed
alright dont mind me then
you just want it on cd and getting your unseens off asap
getting full clones in tfd very nice if it happens too
im just trying to stop you from going down a rabbit hole of some random min/max you think you've found which doesn't acutally work out
not that you're not able to find one
but if you're starting off and learning shit
just do per guide
and experiment later
you are not the first person to go down a path of "DM buffs damage and sectech is big damage so we should make big number biggerer"
i have some
that if I have coup going into sectech, that i do finishers as evis (coup) -> sectech -> evis (coup) even though that's probably wrong
but i do it anyway because it feels good
but really, you probably shouldn't do it
I have a cook where I spec out of sectech
No I will not share
Yes I am grey parsing
for mythic salad when intermission hits is it worth insta using dance and symbols or wait for flag?
idk if anyone knows
share your burnt build and i'll share mine
Warcraft logs is rigged
Salad??
Healthy eating boss?
behold
salad bar
pretty sure its a wait for flag angle
yeah doing it at 430 is ok
unless u delayed flag at any point then u might not get 3 dances if u dont dance first
or beg for autumn from your non existant hpal
like delayed for more than a second or 2
alright ill save my dances for flag spawn on ads
oh the platform?
yeah
ok some ppl call the amp the intermission
or the beams the intermission (confusing!)
for platform if u have no autumn just spread ruptures then flag off cd
if u get the 4 dashes can flag after doing ur dash if u arent cloaking it
but dont delay it more than a tiny bit bc for amp u want it as close to 430 as possible
hpal gives u a buff that makes ur cd recover faster
the season after summer
if u have a friendly hpal u want it at 45s
true
only need it once
we dont have an hpal
oh ok
hpal has 1 cooldown that lets them compete with other healers, they shouldnt be putting that on a dps lol
also what are you talking about cloaking
the massacres (4 adds dash through titan)
you dont have to
but its an option if you want to get uptime
fwiw every rwf hpal did this and almost every hof hpal did this
so its not bad
RWF is not ur average heroic raid lol, their raid is optimized, to not take dps, and all of them are actually using deffensives, and have other healers to kinda carry them thru the raid (not an actual carry) doing it in a pug or a average guild run isnt smart if healing may be an issue
i think for mythic dimmy at this point in the season its not an unreasonable ask
also, how important is using rupture on sub rogue?
alright this is good to know i'll keep that in mind to try and save it if possible
and for salhadaar a few weeks ago as well
since salhadaar u dont even have to hold it
oh yeah i know im talking about mythic prog
i got autumn on dimensius but not nexus king
and i think it was ok
but with new push timings and raid buff and turbo boost might not need autumn in the future who knows!
good but dont delay dances/flag
theyre removing it in midnight anyways
i think with new turbo boost/push timings
the dimensius pull of pain and suffering
nah its just cursed
you cant cast on both plats without holding on artoshion properly
and he just dies insta
so you need to skip 1
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
could either be 2nd flag artoshion 3rd flag amp or 2nd flag p1 3rd flag useless low value time on artoshion 4th flag amp
unsure
ill miss pargoth flag
since we're still on prog. i get to send
today i was doing 2 flags p1, flag pargoth, flag p3 after amp
tell me how fun that was
damn thats cursed
that sounds grim
we chain wiped to pargoth not dying until i moved cds 
and sometimes pargoth just insta dies
so amp starts with 15s left exact on flag
gg or what?
hunter critting black arrow or something
the singular dance of pain and suffering
eventually mages will be enough to kill pargoth
we love mages
oh ok i just assumed hes dead
oh
partway through 2nd add
pushing p1 at 2:20 you still land at 3:00
as long as you insta cast flag itll mostly be fine
ah ok
any life hacks for the big dim
dont assume because boss has been turbo nerf'd that its super easy
oh im expecting to be on the boss for like 4 weeks
attalad
uhhhh
focus a DK or someone you can trust for knockbacks
then make a shadowstep macro to step to your focus target
you can start preramping your sht stacks and unseenblades since youre going to be holding dps in p1
takes like 30 seconds to fly over or something (?)
so do the math from there
I wanna take the speed paths too yeah?
if we are playing Tea, do we try to ensure energy more than 30 outside dance?
just get an autumn bro
im sending on all plats and start of burn
Yeah me too on prog
Now that we donāt hold itās impossible even if I had autumn
There are only 1min10s between landing on plat 1 and landing on plat 2, same w landing on pargoth vs amp
question: should i bother in timing flag/shadowblades with adds on araz or just send dmg to time it with amps? we have very strong aoe dps players that sometimes kill adds even before my second part of sectech starts hitting them. So far i was timing first flag for first adds, but a lot of times i am not getting the dmg spike based on how fast adds die
ahh we do like a slight tiny hold on plat 1 we go at like 2:30 ish before the lastbig explosion and then a small hold on plat 1
like maybe 5 sec
We held properly on prog but now itās just a tragedy
its not that much holdin and its super worth for cds cause we have everything up on the burn
gonna shave so much p3 time off
damn we were planning to hold up to 2:45-2:50
i guess with more gear you really will do almost nothing for almost a minute if blasting
Prob dumb question but why is sectec not held for the second supercharger in dance windows since you'd use it with more stacks of danse
because you lose out on the cdr
ok cool, that was the thing it would be weighted against
ye the idea is right, we just have 2x unseen blade attached to it as well
- the cdr is too large for optimizing around danse
o true didnt think about unseen either
its interesting just how much the dynamic changes with more damage and different timers
Can someone enlighten me how holding coup for CD works? Assuming im at full cp, coup and cds are rdy. Do i flag, evis(coup), dance/symbols, strike,sb, st and use 2nd coup after st or do i not use super charger on st to use 2nd coup before st?
lashga in front of me on plexus reclear 
Subtlety. HoF Prog Spec champion, Reclear / Late tier menace.
Would love a answer to that too. Do we start with 2 coups or sec tec?
And how do we manage supercharging in that
you would flag rupture then dance stab sec tech and send the coups
just storm in between them if you have blades
and didnt proc shadowcraft twice
We mean mod fight, when holding coup before 2nd CD's come up (rupture already up)
Not normal Rotation, that is clear
even if it is up likely it is not fully up
as you just spent 20 secs stabbing
the chances it is going to fall on dance is high unless you didnt hold coup then
you sec tech first on dances with flag+blades
on normal dances you can coup sometimes to get cdr to sec tech
but otherwise you sec then then coup
Always, doesn't matter if coup is up already?
We would waste double unsern blade, don't we?
if coup is up and sec tech is off cd you goofed up before kinda on midway dances
you kinda use sec tech on cd in the in between dances
so if coup is up and 15 secs left on sec tech you dance coup then sec tech
I didn't mean that
I mean that sec tec & coup is up, when CD's start
Then I always sec tec?
what i mean the situation of coup up and sec tech off cd
does not happen
if you played it right
so you dont have to think
unless it is on the flag one where sec tech is up because you also held it for it
Maybe I'm understanding wrong, but don't I hold coup 20sec before flag?
Yes, that one
I love to play it, always something to adjust
M+ I feel very good with it. But raid just feels odd..
well on raid you also change things a bit depending on fight
I looked at some Loorgs fights & that helped very much in understanding
Got some good Soulbinder & king logs in HC now
Trying to convert that to mythic now
Im playing rogue in every fight except soul hunters. I'm healer there
Am i understanding this right, I'm supposed to ST outside of dance when I'm holding for upcoming cds?
How am i supposed to play saladbar again without a hpal
I dont want to anymore š
They took everything from me
what was the command again for the double on use trinket? I swear i remember seeing it
!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.
!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.
thank you
Alright, thanks for the answers, appreciate it
Who got the maxxed out upgrade Route for remix sub
I am getting crazy, I am still sitting on a champion prism 
I haven't seen it drop once after I got my champion prism lol
Remix is taking forever to level for me did like two or three hours not even level 30
Might be doing something wrong
levelling rogue is truly painful until like 60
the exp gain is not extreme
Iām just going casually and like 22 on the DH. 100 days of this shit left. Hahah
whatāre you going to do after the 21st and turbo all your gear? AFK or Lemix
AFK, chill and play other things
Raidlogging season baybee
it's one of the reasons I didn't have a max level rogue till last season
actually had one in SL as well, but that was a snoozefest
is coup de grace evis giving bonus cdr because of the +5 cp?
Me too š still using champion. And if a heroic one drops a hunter or DK wins the roll
And they don't even equip it when I see them in raid like wtf
Do you guys play sub for every boss fight?
Or you swap to assas for the pure ST fights like plexus / loom / frac ?
i play sub on every fight, yes
if u got the gear and u want to do a bit more dmg on those 3 fights then you can swap assa
but they are easy to kill
did they nerf delve belt - was meant to be nerfed 20% in 11.2.5 but I cant find any notes on it anywhere
What is assassination? I only know sub
yes but not energy for some reason iirc
What do you thibk about our Alex Talents on alpha?
Thy
Fairly sure it does give more energy
can you try it on a dummy with 1 cp
I just remember my energy getting significantly lower when pressing coup with 1 cp, which should not be the case as you should be refunded at least 30
maybe they fixed it or I'm hallucinating
Thank you fuu. Think I'll do that too. Time to get good.
haven't played assa since september 2nd
feels good honestly
lowkey highkey i wanna play elusiveness on dimensius
is that too troll
For what
I forgot to change it from saladbar oops
Been progging all week w elusiveness I guess
ive only seen p1 but the damage that goes out is kinda insane
Yeah and what does that have to do with elusiveness
but maybe healers get better idk
Its all aoe damage
can use evasion
yeah
you can feint every single bad mechanic
and healers heal the rest
cheat will save you from losing focus for a second
and standing in poop
because youre holding damage for 30 seconds
and your mind goes afk
is there no buff for supercharger?
there is no way to properly macro lily with netherprism right?
since its 1:30 min cd
It makes your combo points blue
But its also not really something you need to track
Nop
!prism is how to use it, but you cant really macro it

ah got it, thanks
ok the ui im using doesnt change their color and i didnt see a buff so wanted to make sure i wasnt bugged
if i have low CPs and one more GCD in dance, is it better to send a low cp coup in dance or build and send full coup outside dance? i'd assume the latter but not positive
like 4-5 cps
how close do ya'll get to your single target sim on a target dummy? I'm within 5%, wondering if it should be a lot tighter than that
do you get a full raid to buff you to hit the dummy and use lust for you?
in that case, you're better off logging/analysing your rotation than thinking about numbers
there's great variance pull-by-pull
sim is just an average of (i believe) 100k iterations
I'm not necessarily asking about boss by boss numbers, I'm testing that i understand the core rotation in a vacuum
being within 5% can mean you're playing perfect but having mildly bad luck
or you can be playing pretty badly but with good rng
and 5-6 or even 10-20 iterations on a dummy won't really tell you how well you're playing
but as a general pointer, being within 5% is decent
ok thank you for the comments
