i really just was tired of being a fat tauren
nelf armor model is really nice
nelf looks really nice
with tauren extra hp u could survive 1 flying orb on mythic araz first few weeks
dwarf too stubby, same with gnome and goblin
was very pog for prog
i'm very happy being a nelf right now even though i'm stuck with 1% haste
tauren, trolls no shoes puts me off lol
Congrats on being flat out wrong.
cooked
average scatch 10/10 ragebait
yea meme mogs are hella nice on tauren but actually making a custom mog is hard when every piece of gear loses something
because ur built like a brick

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.
Meanwhile will of the forsaken might have a use or two lol
any reason to go undead is a good reason
managed to down araz after pulling for an extra 30mins for our RL's sanity on our last raid night of the season
only 92 pulls lol
I miss having a second vanish for resetting TFD for cds so much
But maghar is just so much more dmg in cds
yeah true it's pretty good TFD reset value
!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.
Think they mean you can buy it now
Joining the convo late but I really enjoy my rogue being VElf ; Entropic Embrace is OP imo & Spatial Rift is super super nice + QOL to have
Does any1 have a wcl expression to show coups outside of shadowdance?
VElf with “the Death Stalker” title but I frequently use the recalibrator to get female undead bc that special attacking animation is peak
If that counts 
Press the shadow dance icon here once to show damage done during it, and twice to show damage done outside of it
cheers
(sectech clones are bugged though, so they always show up outside, regardless of which buff you press)
it's unfortunate that araz doesn't log damage on shielded adds after 11.2.5, wasted casts 
How do you guys approach high keys on big moma? Are you main targeting moma or sending on adds?
As sub u Go Main Target and cleave
Close enough lol
However much the robot tells you to equip
the following filter expression works for sectec too (the AND source.name = "<name>" will need the rogue's name and it's not needed if only 1 sub rogue is in the fight)
NOT IN RANGE FROM type = "applybuff" AND ability.name = "Shadow Dance" AND source.name = "<name>" TO type = "removebuff" AND ability.name = "Shadow Dance" AND source.name = "<name>" END
ty bro
with bullions is prism trinket the best first item to get ?

Without a doubt yes
it better than most myth trikets if not all of them for sub
is there a reason fewer and fewer use the coldblood build in m+?
cold blood works better in low count / boss heavy dungeons
so like dawnbreaker prefers cold blood i think?
everywhere else thistle tea is cuter in aoe and also more finishers etc
uwu thistle tea dont look at me like that

Should I keep prism and shadowblades separate and not in a macro together?
I feel like im sending them together all the time, but sometimes maybe saving for a next bigger pull etc. is more important?
!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.
So, I use a dance stab macro, followed by a symbols tea macro. I feel like it's working pretty well, have I missed something? Is there some tech I am missing out on?
Teach me senpais.
Also have blades sectech macro and blades trink sectech macro I alternate between

anyone using on loom a dance charge forthe infused tangle
none
good to know
no your range should stop afking
ty i was wondering how hard it is for me to nuke them
no charges
backstabbing like hell
rogue shouldnt even swap to them imo
Keep focusing boss and let cleave do the rest
@tepid trellis is there any reason my sim is so ass https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/juB9t57NbZ9bzW8eviD9gm

^
you may want to sim MM hunter
ah ye ofcourse
One of the worst ST specs in the game will indeed sim low on pure ST
might just do reclear on sub
just to see how it is
only thing is actually using dances correctly

wanted to ask if antena outsims araz forge with prism for you
ohhh
it doesnt seem like it
well
i did another sim infact
with some tweaks
lemme link it 2 sec
the difference is like
8k
current gear is heroic prism with myth antena
forge and prism sims better for me as well in ST but in dslice antena outsims them
idk
its more up to what you want
prism and antenna is a solid choice for both sub and assa
but if youre just otp sub
id go with forge+prism ig

Is pacemaker sim bait? I just don’t see many raid logs or top m+ rogues using it
If rocking heroic prism do you think I should get run a heroic ritual forge with it or keep my mythic pacemaker?
antena is better and easy to get thats why nobody uses pacemaker
Is mythic loomithar easy to pug? I just started trying to pug mythic raid past 2 weeks and finally got kills on 1st boss and soulbinder last night
its not bait, it sims worse than raid equivalents
I guess all the top rogues just have access to mythic raid trinkets where as I’m comparing against heroic raid trinkets is likely the issue
its a bit 50/50 imo, some groups genuinely CANT kill the boss for whatever reason while others just 1 pull it like the first 2 bosses
but definitely worth fishing for, worst case scenario you miss one week and get it the next one
1st and soulbinder seem so ridiculously free but I still struggled to find a group that could kill 1st boss lol. But now that I have those kills under my belt hopefully I can get into better groups. I really want a mythic ritual forge
Mythic raid ids are still unique right? Like I can’t join a different group that killed the same bosses?
not sure how puggable araz is, but i know there are coordinated groups that kill it regularly
some weekly runs even do 5/8 each week, idk if there are many left at this point
I’ve seen some advertising in group finder for Araz so there is a glimmer of hope
correct
Is there any community discord servers for finding raid groups?
i think the achievement discord has a section for that, but I left it a couple of months ago so not sure how active it is
some streamers do mythic viewer raids, granted you're subbed you can take a look at that
most people just use the tool ingame

is nimble flurry the same range as blade flurry?
if its 8yards around you then yes
it originates from BF, so unlike assassiantions version, it behaves just like bf
ok, i had used my bf target count wa to see if enemies are in range but never checked if its the same rang

👍 we sadly lose these weakauras in midnight

i had to stop playing sub because the ST in raid was buns
good thing the majority of the raid isn't ST though
literally half the raid is ST lol
Plexus - ST
Loomithar - ST
Soul binder - Cleave/adds
Araz - Cleave/adds
Soul hunter - Cleave
Frac - ST
Salad - Cleave/Adds
Dimensius - Cleave/adds
u can still go insane on st
unless u are playing with people who are like all playing perfectly
sub can be on top of the meters in fract if u try ur hardest and also get disorienting prepull
i dont think most people consider dimi cleave, even on mythic, the only thing u can cleave on is the platforms and with how bad ST is for raid for them youll still be on the bottom, especially since u cant really cleave the adds in p1
dunno man. It's not as important now because damage typically isn't your main issues anymore but adds on platform are still important
also sub is still one the top performing specs on dimensius
or the BM hunter just crits black arrow 
hard work and passion and determination are stronger than critting black arrow sometimes

but if they crit black arrow too much then fighting spirit always loses
like i know im arguing that even though sub ST is weak it's still fine for raid
but being gapped by 10% is still kinda sad beans
for same parse %
sad beans 🙁
but i dont mind bc i tried my best and i performed well
if my guys 3rd thats fine
like the st isnt pathetic if u go crazy that pull
but its not #1
hehe
well idk the way i look at it is that the only thing that matters is playing well and learning and good logs / being on top of the meters come as a natural consequence
so if i grind and learn and grow then one patch sub has the best st
and then i win big
yea people (me included sometimes) get caught up comparing to other classes/specs too much
sub is literally the number one spec for that fight wdym
but at least we're not in s2 anymore
assi has taken over i think
for now
i still need to figure out what im missing on that fight
other than shitty timings
but all the other top logs are also not flagging p2.2
i am doing something insanely wrong on dimensius and i dont know what
it is the one fight that eludes me
surely i will figure this out before reset
maybe the answer is afking more before burn
i wouldnt spend too much effort on it before 15% buff

oh im not like playing for asp or anything i just want to learn to do the fights correctly so then im stronger
so might as well explode it this week
if i can figure it out..
i do keep a coup and at least 7 sht
do u expect it to change a ton?
i feel like only potential change if u fast push is 2nd flag in p1 becomes a flag on artoshion platform but i dont think that should require a ton of relearning
maybe the answer is to just crit more
no, other than maybe not being able to flag p1 twice

im getting gapped in the burn though
ye i dont like it
my point was more a lot of people are still holding
ah ok
i know my log is like 1min faster than most of thetop 10
we are holding pargoth still but
its impossible to compare those
thank fuck i gaslamped my RL into holding pushing until we get the 4th set down
ye
i was just trying to ccopy annsie anyway to learn 1 flag p2
and maybe thats a mistake
and i should be doing 1 p2 flag on parger platform
if those are my circumstances
we only hold pargoth and send every other time
can you even double send p2 without holding artoshion as well
surely you lose amp flag
i dont think u can
i was just trying to single flag artoshion bc i figured thatd be what id be doing once we stopped holding pargoth anyway but maybe i should make the best of my unique situation this week
yeah i dont think theres a way to send on arto
unless its some weird scuffed hold p1 and send right at the start of p2.2 + get autumn
even then thats questionable
with how fast we kill arto still wouldnt work
ye
oh yeah im dwarf
i forgot that maghar people naturally gap me
but also i dont feel like being not a dwarf
same except human because i need stunbreak
i like playing as a funny little guy
no i dont pvp anymore but im still a monkey in pve
stun break has saved me too many times
lmao
those broken glass bottles for daggers?
but i figured dwarf has the best balance of looking silly and good defensive racial and offensive racial
yeah
but i could be leaivng alot of dmg on the table not playing maghar i dont know
difference is supposed to be like 1% or something
or not even
but i think that gets amped in amp
no i tghink dwarf is pretty good
its just amps and cleave
dwarf sims similarly to maghar but in real situations i think maghar is better
idk how much im being handicapped by my racial choice bc im a noob
what do u think is the diff in %
4.82%
5.3
oh im a genius
let me out
jia you
but also dont be too eager to be done with prog i think prog time is valuable i wish i could be progging still kinda
u learn alot
Things are going rather smoothly after guild change
Hola, alguno habla español?
Lo siento wilsoooon
where can i find midnight class changes? the only 2 links on wowhead are from october 9 and 5 days ago and both don't cover the hast CDR
which is this
and that
Blizzard has posted the Week 5 development notes which includes more class changes and tier sets!
crazy how i can't find all of this information on wowhead
also did the haste CDR on dance get scrapped already? didn't read it in the pinned notes
i also remember reading something about cheap shot which i can't find
the shitty timings are making my dps either really good and i'm topping or i'm doing no dam
i'm just praying everyone does no dam in P1
just gotta do more damage than them
Those are the changes. 
yeah went over my head that they scrapped the whole haste CDR thing already
it's funny because:
yeah thank fuck they scrapped it early
never should have been a thing
but gives slight hope that theyre iterating
until they give up.
yes current changes look quite alright if i understand them correctly. i still hope haste wont play a huge role but we'll see. hopefully Deathstalker becomes viable in m+. It's fantasy fits sub so well
dont worry there's still 3 months for them to make it good
or 4
surely they will have finished mage/paladin/hunter/devourer before the end of the year
and they can look at the rest of the classes afterwards
would be a fun joke if i could believe that it's actually just a joke
the best jokes are the ones with half of the truth baked in it
Subtract American Thanksgiving, and all the December holidays.
oh yeah i keep forgetting about thanksgiving
Yo guys. Was wondering if there is a big difference between going Thistle Tea and Cold Blood in M+?
not really, cold blood is better boss damage, thistle better aoe and to me it feels better to play it.
cold blood feels better for me because im not good enough to just crit naturally
Vigor is a much better feel good if you don’t have smol crit pp
Alright, that makes sense, thanks guys ❤️
i cant decide between keeping mastery or crit on my neck
I overcap mastery by like 2k or i have 18k crit
Clanker is praising crit

how do i know which mrt timers of blades do i take out of all these on pugging progress mythic bosses? every week the timer can be different cause diffrent people?
like why there are diffrent blades timers
so if i dont use forge i have to look at most blades used logs and 00:04-05 timers with next one around 1:30 mark?
and if its not forge its probaly wait for knockback
so the logic behind it is that
If you gete only 3 casts of flag because the kill timer is 4 minutes whether you cast flag at
0:00, 1:30, 3:00
or
0:00, 2:00, 3:30
you still get the same flag amounts
The logs that are doing it at 0:00, 2:00 and 3:30 mean they do araz -> araz -> 18 stack prism
instead of the ones at 0:00, 1:30, 3:30 which would be araz -> 9stack prism -> araz
napkin math says the 0:00, 2:00, 3:30 is better but youre also dependent on not killing it quicker than 3:50
that being said if you don't really get it
just play normally
cast off cooldown
even though theres variation it's not like theres a clear winner
so what would help is like enable forge trinket and skip these logs
im a antenna/prism user
honestly mate
just play 0:00, 1:30, 3:00 etc
fuck thinking
just press buttons
because worst case scenario
you hold
and you kill early
and youve just lost a flag usage

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 <
it worked fine for like 15 mins tho lol
and then it stopped working in my macro, but kept working when pressed separately
🥲
ah I see in the WA description, lmfao
dw im sure it'll be fixed by midnight
so real
i played like that on progression first boss mythic xd was wondering why no dmg came
is there any point specing rotten any more
yeah it was the 2nd thing - just literally first time I have it happen idk
Sorry this might be a dumb question, but what exactly does the shuriken storm do in this scenario?
!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.

taking a stroll through quick sims is so fun cause of this. Dungeon slice sims chaotic as hell

I don't get the first one here "you can hold up coup". How ? Stop using evis and finish with BP?
correct
Even in single target ?
that’s how you’re holding coup
Makes sense hahaha
Target count doesn’t matter

!scath

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
No dont BP
Just dont use a finisher
(on AoE you can BP, but the specific thing you asked about was ST only as it says in the command)
I was looking at some logs of other rogue players in m+, and I identified a couple of points where I'm weak: 1 . premeditation has a lot of wasted combo points (shadow dance+backstab macro to blame?), 2. My active DPS time is barely 90% when others are 95%, 3. some rogues have nimble flurry 50% to 80% higher than me, we are talking about 1.5m dps vs 2.5m dps, eviscerate casts in these examples are much more frequent (same for shuriken storm) 4. all finishers avg damages are 20-30% higher than mine, even at the same ilvl. The same rogue simmed only 300k higher than me in dungeon slice. Anyways, this was a good exercise to determine my weak points.
Something to note is that nimble flurry and evis will be higher depending on comp, pulls, priority damage.
If im playing with fdk bm/dh, i powder. Since the thing slowing the group down will be everything else dying.
If im playing with fury feral for example, the priority damage is way down, and evis rises in value
Also if your finisher damage is consistently 20-30% lower then you are not utilizing flawless form and dance correctly in aoe (common mistake people make is under sending sec tec and dance with all the extra cdr aoe.provides
Isnt the dance backstab macro also a slight dmg loss if there is no option to press dance into finisher while chaining dances in cds?
Dance stab should beits own extra keybind
Not having just dance on its own as a keybind is pretty bad

Ah FF is something I never thought about, will look into it
Hi guys, when applying ruptures to a large group of mobs is there a way to set tab targetting to prioritise mobs without rupture
You can use plater mods/scripts to set nameplates to change color based on whether they have a specific debuff or not. Quazii explains how to do it in one of his videos. That being said, that's going away with Midnight, so you may or may not want to invest time now
because it cleaves off adds that it doesnt really need to, the dps is inflated but the boss damage and add that matter damage is gonna be lower than everyone else
it still has great p3 damage by virtue of starting with a damage amp and can kill any important add that you want in the entire fight
best melee to kill ranged living mass, best melee to focus voidwarden if necessary
When a fight is designed around needing big damage every 90 seconds, the spec that pretty much only does big damage every 90 seconds is really good
If you killed it really early you often got the 3rd blades of in p3 as well, making sub one of the best specs in that phase too
on our prog kill i nearly beat the destro on the specific ranged living mass that always died slow, was by far the highest melee for damage to voidwardens (and the highest of any spec on the one that almost wiped us by living until it was gate time), highest damage in p3
spec very good when you can allocate dances to important things and have damage amps and 90s timers as eleem says 
Obviously timers can be a bit cursed now with excessive gear+raid buffs
But it is what it is
love turbo charge + new upgrade track + raid buff
Having to use cds on platform 2 without getting autumn is the worst
All my 3 kills are so scuffed and the worst that could happen to 90sec class
i havent cded plat2 in a month, too cursed
I won't ever again
I want to use cds in dmg amp just one time
Last raid was good but the melee soak disappeared and all melees were dead 
cloak lets you immune that and not get in the soak fwiw
also incredibly troll that if the soak guy dies the soak just disappears instead of letting you still get in it
very good

At how many targets do I use shuriken storm instead of backstab as the builder?
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).
How do I get casters/Range melee to Attack the Loom mythic adds 😂 I feel so Bad to use a Dance charge on it
depends. do you care if the raid wipes or not?
- get ur raid lead to tell range to kill them. 2. if you dont care if raid wipes, dont swap.
does anyone know what happens if u step to a tangle or cloak and walk through one
can u stand inbetween them and cleave both
idk if thats even worth but itd be funny
oh yeah i mean the 2 walls on mythic
wall
me :)
wall
boss
i dont think its worth but i do wonder
you can step to them but i would imagine its not worth
rogue should really just be hitting the boss
you gotta be backpeddling as soon as you step
i did that on prog
ok ty genius guy
you can walk in tangles with cloak
acutally wait no thats back peddling with the grip th9ing on you
you can just step normally
but wait until grip happens

sorry been a while since i actively did mechanics
hehe

#parseislife
You don’t need to backpedal. Step takes you to outside of ring. Just stand still.
yeah i was just conflating it with the pull in mechanic as well
Volunteer to soak so you have an excuse not to swap
i was playing sin on prog (yuck!) and every time the rings came i had to ramp kb
so i never worried about them
must auto boss wahoo
I’d just keep wiping until your range figures out what their role is.

Ye ignoring the tangle as sub is the way no way swapping with a Dance does make Boss easier the add will just die before that and I wont get ur Full Dance dmg
sub on that fight is already cringe
i was dancing tangles like first week though
if u go in between them u can just hit the back one once the front one dies but i think this far into the season that is a little overboard
its so cool to flag pot 18 stack prism the amp
blammo!
if u arent in an insane guild sub can be pretty high up on the meters in st
if every guy in ur guild pink parses every boss then unfortunate but
sub st being bad is no reason to give up
And you’d be even higher up on that fight as assa.
Not at all
i feel like im more in control of my dps as sub for some reason
It’s throughout and timings (execute with prism) are just better
the worst ST spec in the game is the one praying for high rolls on the ST fights. 
hehe
idk i feel like its fine if subs not the best at everything
but it would be cool to be like fdk
or bm hunter
but even so i cant be mad being sub
someone has to be the bottom
May as well be sub
The fights that mattered Sub was good
yeah id rather be bad at unimportant stuff and good at important stuff
if i had to pick
Now good at none. 
nah nah nah
the adds don’t matter arc of the season.
theres a big gap between bm hunter and bad
The secret is to be so bad at the game that specs different strengths and weaknesses don't matter so you play whatever you feel like
Works well for me

Mate I’m just talking vs assa
How’s Hunter? 
subs r1 p3 dmg in dimmy is better than sins r1
One day I will raid as hunter
One glorious day
Although I'm actually considering going druid in midnight unfortunately
I showed Fim the warrior changes. I think I broke the Aussie.
So i can tank and heal
Do you have any of the Legion skins?
No but I'm also not really a huge fan of them anyway
I like stone bear
And the emerald dream cat form
the fire kitty and stone bear are my favorites
Yeah I like the fire kitty ever since they updated it
Something about orange cats. 
i actually audibled "what the fuck"
Are you done reading yet? I know it’s quite the amount of words

I just did tts.
okay yeah i dont have 6 hours to listen to all the changes
Audible Book road trip
In eco are you guys funneling on sentinels or just BP? I'm progging on 19s 20s atm but I run out of gas when the mobs drop around 15%
Or do you hold CDs until shield break
Which sounds troll
ay just got araz from a pug, is it araz > 90s prism > araz 180 > prism repeat or...
aka do you just throw it in a macro (and have it be higher on the macro) and if the fight would end soon manually press prism?
!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.
ty boss
also im assuming araz + prism is better than lily n prism right? have all on myth
life can't ever be simple with this spec can it
will sim, but id be willing to bet money lily wont win
got a hero antenna
L
was antenna prism for dimmy prog
or play antenna lily because the world hates you and you never got better than a champ prism

on dimmy with champ antenna fml
myth pace first vault
i don't think we ever looted a myth prism
or if we did it probably went to idk a dk or something
we looted like 3 prisms and i didnt get any of them
I think the thought process was

actually nah
it went to the 2nd hunt
and tbf i cant blame them
black arrow > black powder 🙂
first kill, i was 4/14 or so
green parsing bm almost beats sin xd
Yeah the right one.
to be fair unholy is absolutely unhinged with netherprism if you don't lust on pull
and our dk does pref UH
but nah, we never got a myth prism, only ever got hero track ones and they went to hunters
on the bright side I had myth lily by then so I wasn't too sad
i got bailed out by getting a mythic one in my vault
but i was given the first mythic forge that dropped in farm at least

hey PSA don't try doing a 44 with a group that has no vers
or else you're in for this kind of hell
Hey everyone, I just started playing Rogue and it’s been tough finding proper guides — unlike other classes. Seems like Assassination is the only one with decent coverage. Any suggestions for where a new Rogue should start ?
!guide
any of the above guides will do you well
and if you have questions about the specifics of the guide you can come back here
if you are looking for youtube guides
then shindigg i think did one for 11.1.5 which is relevant enough for current sub
but the written guides are always most up to date
Thanks, you’re a lifesaver! 🙏
no wukkas
i can vouch for shindigs video
its what helped me the most as a new player
only rotational differences this patch are with 4pc
!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.
!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.
do you use tab targeting for spreading rupture ? Like when do you know it’s enough?
you rupture wheny oure not in dance
its enough if theyre going to live the duration of the rupture
Fresh ice cold monster + snus combo so chill morning
my 99 parse is 150k behind my friends ilvl 710 45 parse on bm hunter
(fractillus)
is there a way to stop messing up CDs in dungeons? If I have to dodge stuff its game over for my dps most of the time
i sometimes can't help myself
because people in /2 are so stupid it makes my head hurt
is it actually that bad
theres no way
!wa
according to stats my 99 a week or 2 ago was between a 90 and a 95 for bm
so still grim but not that crazy...
it is
but no way a 99 on sub is a 45 on hunter
id cry in real life if that was true
ok it's actually a 98.6 now, but my friends 45 is 150k ahead of it
and that was yesterday
what the

oh wtf
knowing our clears we'd prob get the most cursed kill timers imaginable though
incomprehensible puzzle i cannot guess
3% more next week should fix it

my buy is pretty obv
should prob have went boots first over araz
but I wanted to try it out
yeah
shoes goes crazy
but they simmed similarly for me
so it depends on if u wanna experiment with antenna on some bosses
araz only simmed equal to boots with perfect kill timer (5 min sim no variance)
ya I just did droptimizer with "vary_combat_length=0" in the header field on expert mode
ah i see
also have to use it if you want to sim with bubbling wax
tbh maybe im an idiot for running antenna sometimes
but in my head it seems like its not the worst
oh....
my gear set is not wax optimized
surely this cant matter
these are the only two I have added
ic
bubbling wax will only pull slightly further away from mastery
but it's like 0.6% of your dmg anyway
I should prob sim with algari mana oil actually
all my free stats are in vers rn so maybe it changes nothing
yeah i used the all consumable string
and i run 1x wax 1x oil
ya same

no one reviewing my log 💔
try doing !log

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).

question: do you guys keep Shuriken Toss keybound on your action bar?
cause I do but I wonder if it's worth or not
guys there's a macro for use trick on tank?
Bros... its not fair
I have such an easy time on my rat dh in keys. 5 seconds off floodgate 20.
Nobody else wants to play dh so im forced to rollswap to do high keys
🙁
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/subtlety/best-weakauras-macros-addons there you can find some macros for targetting.
I'd say 99% of situations you never use it. Personally I have it there as last option of "doing dmg and generating cp" when due to mechs I can not go close to boss.
its also good to help pull in dungeons with tricks
yeah, assumed only raid scenario, you're right about m+ scenarios.
thing is I switched rogue in bfa after maining havoc dh for a whole xpac, and I was used to have throw glaive... so while leveling, shuriken toss replaced throw glaive but unlike aldrachi havoc's throw glaive, shuriken toss doesn't really do anything rotation wise for sub
at the same time, I feel like I'm missing a "ranged ability" without it
which doesn't make much sense but
its trash 🥸 but i use it sometimes to ninja pull when i have an animal instead of a tank 😂
since we have tot you can just throw a dagger and the whole agro is on tank
just cast a storm before they reach the group cause there is a chance that healer take agro before tank 🥸
im teaching how to grief lol
but yeah the shrunken toss is basically useless in rotation and its waste of energy in both sub and sin rogue
You can reset bosses with shuriken tos
Any dimmy slayers in th chat
Im getting flamed for holding cloak in p1 but there is nothing to cloak besides devour ?
+i think pressing feint is better
I press it on the one we gate
ye same
every rogue presses it there
Save cloak for when he blows you off platform
It should be up though no
If you use it on the devour
wym blows you off platform
When he starts blowing
?????
Platform 1
i like not getting pushed though
I might need to get the speedy shoes
We are starting p3 prog on reset
Hopefully it dies before next damage buff or the timers are gonna be hella c
The timers are so scuffed for platforms
It works out perfectly rn
Everyone is holding cds on platform 2 besides 2 mages that blow up the add
just hold W
save sprint to send a message
even if i have a free cast

Way too much stuff on your screen gang
this is what john blizzard spoke out against
Can you jump off platform to drop shit on the floor and shadowstep on boss
I need to try it out
is there any way to macro my trinkets so they cycle 1st shadowblades = araz, 2nd = ritual? or is that not possible
worst case scenario you hit a tank
!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.
if you play the game correctly and dont have to do any cringe holding
it cycles through
ok ok ty
what's the passive that makes backstab generate more than 1 combo point?
Shadow techniques
It does a lot more than that, would recommend reading the "Shadowcraft" talent too
thanks
Wouldn't be a problem if p1 hitbox wasn't so ass
I'm recently doing sub keys, on higher keys are you guys funneling during cds at all instead of bp
Kinda hard to funnel on an anti-funnel spec. Play to what the spec is good at.
I’m guessing u meant evis prio target instead of bp then yes
Depends also on comp
But standard answer is yes
theres also premed that is active when you stealth or enter dance that makes it generate full cp
Bruh I have some keys on sub sometimes where I never have energy and others where I get all the procs and the spec feels so smooth I'm Soo sad
why my logs sometimes not get saved?
More noticeable in ST than AoE.
just run vigor over cb in keys and you’ll never care about it
@final wasp I think this xaethron guy isnt familiar with the concept of ban evasion
!ban @jaunty heath o7
swear ryler is like a hawk i did not even recognise the name
We are running dh and DK with sham healer
I was looking at 19 eco log even tho I was doing most dps on sentinals I probably trolled? Using BP over evis during cds
But the pull is big
So I don't know
hi, anyone can tell me if its worth going to 7 Combo points if i'm at 6? i like to run Cold blood instead of thistle
finish on 6+
ok thanks
you made the guide right?
yes
Nice, I like it 🙂 cheers
glad to hear it
In your rotation guide you say (During Shadow Dance use Backstab as the first builder to consume Premeditation after that just build with Shadowstrike). But doesn't premeditation also get activated with shadowstrike, so why bother? i might have a lot of questions lol
you get a stack of danse macabre
so all your abilities after backstab do more damage
the diffrence is small but it is a net positive to do the backstab
ohh thanks
i can go a bit more into details why this is so
basically builder damage is not that high
so shadowstrike does not contribute hightly to your overall
this will change in midnight, so optimizations like this will just die out
and the combo point gain is the same
because premeditation gives you "full combo points", so it is irrelevant that backstab would technically generate less
also, you don't start dance with backstab every time
you can shadow dance on finishing combo points too, which would then lead to a sequence like
secret-backstab-evis-...
!bs
Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
if you want, you can use this macro, so you don't need an extra key for backstab
simply pressing the shadow dance button during dance will use backstab
Dance+symb > 2nd Coup > backstab > Sectec gang 💪
i'm using cold blood
the impact is 0.3% iirc, which means, if you are completely new to subtlety, might be better to just not do it innitially
between cold blood and thistle?
cold blood is ideally used on your 2nd secret technique during 90 sec cooldowns (flagellation/blades)
for mythic+ or raid?
mythic
free choice
both is good, cold blood marginal better single target, tea marginal better aoe
but its so low, you can decide
okay i see
tea might be easier to play
because you can just macro it to shadow dance
and forget it exists ^^
while secret technique requires more planing
hmm i heard its best on secret technique but i guess thats not ture then
true*
i got it macrod to it
you will use secret technique during dance
so binding it to dance will make that happen naturally
no problem, and if you have more questions just ask ^^
and always upkeep rupture outside shadow dance?
yes
its basically like this
if you start a pull
the tank usually gathers mobs
you can during that time spread a few ruptures
then you go into cooldowns once the pack is somewhat grouped
and maintain/spread ruptures outside of cooldowns if mobs survive for a bit
gotcha!
just to be clear
if there are a lot of small adds that die fast
its not worth to bother using rupture on more than the main target
yeah true
Anyone knows Whats the best allround embelishment ? I’m using focuse Lens atm for mythic progreession and m+ but it literally sucks
Saw people play this nerubish + life dmg thing
2x lense
but embellishments this xpac are kinda weak/lame
they all scale extremely poorly or not at all with item level
so the benefit is super low
which also means, you can kinda play whatever and don't rly lose damage
Its 0.4% dmg in whole dungeon or boss pulls sometimes its Not Even proccing xd
so:
ascendence + empowerment -> great
2x lense -> perfect
dust/dawn -> also fine
none of these are bad/wrong
A lot of subs played ascendance/writhing patch for prog
It simmed equal to slightly ahead on longer fights, also has aoe value that lens doesn’t have, which is half the reason you bring sub
It’s pretty bad in m+ though doesn’t have time to ramp generally
But NK/dimmy where you have it full ramped already by the time you get to the important parts ascendance pretty good
in m+ it is fine as long as you dont drop combat for long
but usually double dawn is better for it
but also LUL embellish
double lens is a whole 5k more dps on patchwerk

Ascendance was a gain for me on 5min when I initially simmed it
That was a while ago tho
What are you playing now even
Duskthread my healers are goats
that sims noticeably worse for me on st
What uptime
I’m prob gonna swap to lens for st and dusk for aoe soon, I just don’t have sparks for 3 separate embellishment sets
whatever default is
Ok so on my 19 my cds lined perfectly so I could burst the sentinel after the shied its down when it matters
So if u swapping btwen bp and evis I wouldn’t be to concern
If u doing 19s as well u must know what it’s better for the key
If go trough and “x” pack is more important than ur overall damage then y
BP vs Evis is around 5-7% more prio VS 5-7% more aoe
Duskthread on DK interesting
Dawnthread on that thing 
what are you doing reclears on?
I’m hoping we get king down tonight. Finally getting through p1 consistently. Healer got yoinked by a hof guild so yay for someone new learning. 
The p1 NK grind 
with my vision issues my heart rate spikes on the 3 set every damn time.
i wonder what i buy w the dinar

i can get random m+ trinkets
i have everything from raid i thik
i see some people on wcl use lily but idk how good it is
kill time maxxing
Boots r the only ting im missing
7th socket in a row
buyers taking plexus ring every week
surely it will be in vault someday
Ye for sure I'm playing both sub and outlaw so I'm still trying to feel what to use. I for sure think I'm trolling not evis-ing more during prio targetting
3:20-3:45?
not exact rang ejust rough estimate
well i see one guy just running it on dimmy maybe that guy is a genius who knows somehting i dont
parse loves his lily
what does he know
approximately yes
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
the breakpoint at which holding for forge would grief your 3:30 flag
yeah i figured
i just kinda have been sending like that with forge anyway if i dont know for certain
but still long enough that you cant just flag twice with forge
and it hasnt been awful on fract
but i did get smoked by a lily user which had me wondering

dinar spent

gambled wrong on kill time (should have played forge), didnt press maghar on pull because I am stupid, highrolled unseens so blasted
hehe
yeah i just gambled and lost once
with 2min forge on fract
so now im never doing it again
its too scary
well with 15% its gone for good probably
id rather lose prism stacks than an entire flag im a coward
dumb question maybe? First night of mythic dimensius prog. videos I watched in p1 the rogue was shadow stepping and it wasnt taking him to the middle of the platform but when i do it it is. am i missing something
step a teammate
mmm tru
alway step dks
why dk
they have deaths advance so they are unaffected by any kind of knock mechanic
they just ignore them
so you know they will always be in a safe place
ohh true
yea just changed it
yea we have 2x dps so we good
What if your DKs are assigned to the other side of the platform
What weapon enchants would yall use for dual spec sub and sin?
Is radiant power fine for sub ?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is this rogue campaign quest just broken until we get a portal to exodar in remix? 😭
hey question
who figured out the prism+forge tech
was it the sub rogue channel TCs
because our hunter just tried explaining it to me like i didn't know about it
i'm just curious who figured it out first
you mean just pressing forge prism forge prism as a 90?
yes
was discussed well before patch launched in sub tc
haha nice
one of our dks also told me about this crazy new thing where you use forge and prism alternating this week
i wouldnt be surprised if rogue tcs are just way ahead of the curve there
lol trueee
i honestly found it hilarious being told about it like it's a new thing haha
and then now my guild is memeing me because i said sub rogues figured it out ages ago
they should meme you. Literally no one looks at anything rogue does
hell I don’t think assa players figured it out until a few weeks ago
They did, its just not good
