from my own testing you also don't need lust or the vanish opener. you just need predisorient to guarantee and to not lose any dance time at all
Hi, guys anyone has tips to keeping up flawless form?
Not really something you should be thinking about
i can just do my rotation but i always lose sight from my flawless form wa
damn
its just i feel very mid in dungeons at times, but sometimes i got good damage
figure it might be i dont play around this too well
Theres nothing to play around with flawless form
Its just up pretty much all the time
i guess
sometimes it has a lot of stacks tho if you hit your big cds then
u know?
What
You get your big stacks from using your cds
You dont press coup twice and then go "oh i have a lot of stacks, i should send my cds", you go "oh my cds are up in 5 seconds i should hold coup until my cds and send them immediately"
(as long as the pack lives for most of your cds)
right ok
im just trying to figure out why i sometimes pop off and same dungeon later that day, I don't (on the same pack for example)
what's the longest we'd hold coup for?
like 20-25 secs?
as long as you dont int your dance cdr and not have 2 for flag
yea 20 secs checks out
ty!
What really? Even when accounting for the latter hits of sectec?
Because sometimes I get to send at 1 sec
i havent looked at stats but i see some people use antenna over double on use in m+
an particular reason
it's kind of an offshoot of the coup gcd thing. assuming you coup twice in the opener, you lose 0.4s. therefore your second last gcd of dance occurs at most 1.6s before it ends. from my anecdotal evidence, you can consistently get sectec off on this exact gcd without lust
and you just barely have the clones hit
i think i hit it like 25 times in a row on dimmy prog one night (excluding the few times I didnt get disorient)
Yeah maybe I’m just losing some gcds to human error
I don’t use a shadow dance+backstab macro, so I’m bound to get some error there
yeah that will massively increase your consistency
I have started using symbols before my first shadowstrike though, and it feels really nice when you have prepull cheese
just pulled up a couple random logs and my clones are hitting like 200ms before dance ends with the macro, so you need to really not have any delay
I press E twice to use Dance->Stab, so it’s prob 40 ms at most
So I gotta mess up somewhere else as well
you'd be surprised
Drop the macro rq gang
im also relatively certain it's consistent just based on the guaranteed way sht works
Also ryldd r u doing the evil boat tech for pre disorienting ?
i think you always get enough procs to get it on that exact gcd
i will be, didn't play this week because of internet issues
can log on in a bit - I’ve had a few macros so I don’t know which iteration I stuck with xd
What does this mean
Sounds like something lil yachtyy invented
Hitting stech on the adds where you spawn on saladbar tp
to get predisorient
A few lads chill there perma
Ahhhh
the real tech was stealthi telling me that there is a teleporter to get back there
Do you not lose it when using the teleporter?
HAHA
No shot bro
I thought all teleporters removed it
as long as you dont die in p1 its usually fine
i might have inted my p1 damage a bit a couple times on prog pressing sectec right before flag on the 90s set because i didnt trust the other side to take the gate in time
I just realized
Couldn’t you make a macro like
/castsequence reset=14 null, Cold Blood
/cast Secret Technique
Though you gotta make sure you don’t press it twice xd
86 of ur 300 leeway for that gcd
tuff
well 300 and there's some shenanigans with ping
yeah things start to make a bit more sense when I look at it that way
Okay so wow head say Prisim+ Antenna is bis for trinks but top parses for raids and dungeons I see a lot of people run Prisim and Araz
And Prisim+ Antenna sims butter under Dungeon slice also, so im not sure which combo is better
a big part of araz value is in the fact that you actually have an on use at the start, so in dungeon slice it'll naturally be lower than passive trinkets
since top parses tend to have the best kill timers it favors araz as well
what does the percentage on warlogs mean?
db is probably only dungeon double on use clearly better with a capable tank.
Everything else you’re likely holding prism or azar/lily longer than you should have
Ahh okay thanks
it's which percentile dps/hps-wise you're in
so 95 means you did better than 95% of the people playing the same spec as you
I am playing around with sub rogue (Coming from sin)... wiht longer living mobs, how many targets to you refresh rupture on?
Generally anything that lives long enough (like 15 seconds or something)
Got it
Anyone tried sub in midnight pvp wise?
think some streamers did explore it, but i am certain they also don't like it
#pvp might got a better answer
for p3 dimensius if u have netherprism for amp whats the best way to pair trinkets with the rest of the fight? I'm assuming 2:30 p3 duration. Netherprism amp, forge after, netherprism at 2:00, forge after?
Nether prism is stronger than forge generally.
So if youre getting to enrage you can go prism > forge > prism on every blades
But if youre just getting 2 blades out because youre killing before enrage (which you should) then using prism with blades and forge randomly on a dance
ok tuy
and are you delaying second blades cast in that situation?
or just off cd?
As long as youre still getting all of your blades in before the boss dies ye
The timings for my guild are so annoying. I get to do cds twice in p1, but then I'm not allowed to use cds on the first platform, even though they are perfectly ready. We have to do dps stops on P1 and the first platform.
I could send them on the first platform, since we play it so long that they would get up for the second platform aswel, but then we'd have to stop dps even sooner...
lmao im stuck playing sin since im on p2 cd jail
so just praying for cdr bug
we are, not holding at all so our pushes are dumb fast
Do you play the 2min or 1.5min cds?
i mean if i can not cd platform 2
i think you just send 2 in p1
then on artosh then on burn
idk boss timings are so cursed
post turbo
We essentially wait for heal cds and consistency reasons
Yeah i wish
I'm just annoyed by the game at this point. I wanna get the endboss over with, get my CE and take a break.
i dont mind the game i just hate the turboboost timings
sometimes sending twice in p1 i dont have flag for ~10s
I mind the game because I have to stop dps. I feel like Pilav
when artoshian+adds
unironically if you hold shouldnt you have cds for all platforms
if 4 healing
Yea, as I said, I do
I'm just not allowed to use them
Hence my frustration. Don't really wanna play anymore
It wouldn't be better if I sent them. Then we'd just hold dps longer at the end.
It doesn’t really matter. If you look at one of shindigs recent logs he got a 97 by holding his second 90s in p1 for over a minute to send on platform 1, then held about 40s or something on platform 2 to line up with the amp. The timers are just cooked but you can still blast
It's not about logs. Idc about that. I wanna press my buttons. I find holding cds or even damage overall to be the most boring tactic ever. I know why we do it, but I still hate it
Is the wowhead bis list up to date for being absolute bis with turbo boost?
!symbols
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
why would it change
I wasn't sure if it was accurate in the first place, but ilevel could move some stats around potentially, probably at a gem/enchant level tho
Typically yes
Some scenarios call for a passive trinket such as very fast kills
WoWhead isn't always up to date, good that you asked
👍
we already were hitting drs
I have some weird unique gear I'll have to sim
not sure what is
"weird unique"
there are like 3-4 changeable slots this tier and most are miniscule
basically I don't have dagger from salad king or high nerubian signet, but I have everything else. I also have big momma amulet mythic which could beat crafted maybe
i guarantee you there's multiple jewelry combos that work
granted the "good" necks this season are probably big momma or priory
The reason I'm thinking about it cause I need to move my enchant off my off-hander since I got a 2nd mythic weapon
the lens dmg proc. I'll probably put it on a ring
that like, doesnt matter
i ran the sim on lens being on neck+ring vs bracers+offhand
was literally sim variance
i mean my sim wants crit fiber of all things
if you're doing any fight with cleave double dusk is probably better if your healers arent pepega
I'm just assuming 730 weapon beats crafted in off hand. I haven't simmed anything yet
It's just I can't put lens on big momma amulet if it ends up being good
i've run the sim on every double lens combo and what came out on top basically varied every sim
which means it doesnt matter
you'll put lens on whichever slot you dont get 730
wish I could craft a ring to have double mast
thats not gonna be a gain due to hitting drs
also guy with most allstar points is still playing ascension
honestly double statted items are really bad due to drs
Your secondary stats practically dont matter
if you want more sim dps racechanging to maghar if you aren't one already is likely more dps than any "which slots do i put lens on"
As long as you dont stack haste theres very little difference
this breaks my heart
i love being dwarf
i probably should do it though
i should run the sim on how much it is
its better in fights w higher value flags
like amps or a bunch of dudes
sims undersell it imo
yeah sim cant really measure
getting an execute range dm last tier with spatter
on mugzee or gally either

do you have the beer bottle dagger
!wa
ye that
guys im using this coupe weakaura https://wago.io/mOk1k4j-Q/3 and normally when i have the stacks its red and when i use dance to proc it sometimess its yellow thats when i can use it and sometimes it stays red but i dont understand why thats when it insta procs combo point return
I know the explanation is in the weakaura: Basically, yellow glow means consume Coup with an Eviscerate, red glow means don't consume Coup and spend combo points on Black Powder instead.
but i saw multiple rogues talking about pre using shuriken storm in that condition but i dont understand the exact reason why
it has something to do with unseen blade maybe someone can enlighten me
or should i just use zacs coupe weakaura and load as sub but not sure if that works or conditions are wrong cause its only loaded for outlaw
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.
are you getting a shadowcraft refund at some point?
so what would i do in that condition when im dancing and cant apply any faze debuff?
the left weakaura is 7 sec shown i cant apply any more faze debuff
ok then i just sectech and after that ss into coupe?
or is the ss only between the 2 coupes
like from my understanding of "!coupe" u cannot shadowstrike or backstab cause u wasting unseen blade proc? is that correct?
thats why u need to ss between the 2 coupes if no combo point proc
"cannot" is a massive overstatement. Its slightly better to use shuriken storm (shadowstrike is also ss btw) to preserve a stack
But you dont want to storm more than once
order is symbols/dance > backstab > sec tec how is it even up there
so sec tec w/ refund > coup > ss > coup OR sec tec no refund > shadowstrike > coup > shuri > coup
ty wollmart
when its like a aoe scenario i could go in the no refund > shurikenstorm> coup > shuri > coup ? tho get find weakness on many people up?
like in m+ big pull
nope just shadowstrike
i think im overthinking the find weakness debuff this season
nimble flurry splashes that buffed shadowstrike onto the pack
if u shuriken storm there it's peanuts
when i get a coup - refund - coup is it because of shadow techniques?
and is it bad if that happens or i mean do i need to play around it that it doesnt happen
there's a talent at the bottom of tree called shadowcraft that increases shadow techniques's proc rate
there's a weakaura that will play a sound when a refund happens
shadowcraft with shadowtechniques, there is no "if" it refunds
First pull of Arak, or on the miniboss that spawns the adds in arak, do you rupture all mobs? Or just around 5-6 ruptures and then go into CDs?
On the fist pull i do some raptures while the tank is gathering the pull. On the mini boss who spawns them i dont bother at all. They die from passive cleave anyway and dont matter
Since you have tricks, you can rupture as much as you want until the pull is gathered, can also throw some shuriken storms to help your tank with aggro since gathering that pull sucks dick
Soon as its gathered you can send
has anyone beta gamered yet?
i tested a few things, but did not do a lot of content else
why they give us a fkn Cooldown manager button for evis but not for rupture
i try to play without auras now and miss so many times my rupture uptime
but this eviscerate CD manager button is complete useless to have
so, you have buff uptime bars too but not for slice n dice
you can track debuffs like rupture on beta, the version they pushed to live was right before they added it
it's there for trickster basically, in case you want to see it when it turns into coup
!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.
did you give her your back
he prob press AD or something
i don tthink so? i mean i was hitting her
u can see my healing from exhilarating execution right before i took damage
if you move sideways or something you can also get hit
ffs
btw. when running double on use in M+ /w cb over tea. would it be worth saving araz on use for the cb sectech? just send first dance blades with flag to build for a giga sectech on aoe
just feels shit to waste the high part of araz without flawless form operating tho
its like 15k agi gone already by the time u cb
even then could u not just save blade/araz until coup
Your first secret technique still does a lot of damage, missing araz on it is pretty grief
And its like -10k agi by second cast
Yahhhp
that sounds like a skill issue
Just hit
until you get the pug tank who decides to chain with mobs that take forever to group up
and you want to throw a chair at them
think the lesson here is fuck cold blood going back to tea so i dnt get fomo
Dw even good tanks still dont chain well with sub
Rn my group is relearning chains cause sub is so game warping
i love chains like that in priory
Like please, just chain the pack at 200m caster hp idc. We grip, we kicks, we stuns, and its allllll dead in 8 seconds
where half the mobs just dont like to move
bro
no word of a lie i hate the first church packs
every tank
moves it diff
all desync'd spread
theres about an 80% chance the tank leaves the pack in consecrate
Everyone is super hesitant to chain casters cause theyve been burned
i know i can get a 50-60m going easy if done well, but ends up 30 and I cry into my prism stacks
But i think to actually time prio 21 you need to just send it
Ahh farstalkers
Its really annoying when youre in flag and you need to prio down farstalkers but they leap away and youre mashing tab and strike to not miss globals and spinnning like a maniac
yeah idk i hate double on use with random tanks
feels value is ass
due to jank pulls
I also just think 2onuse is bad outside of DB
Theres pulls where youre just forced to send 18 stacks on 5 mobs when its 2 onuse
I like flood if we go 4 lust route
In db its vwry good since youre always sending 9stack prism in that key with passive
Big mom is juice
my favorite tbh is tanks who do random chains into bosses
with zero funnel specs
or the tanks that pull the 4 guards into gambit first boss and forget to take boss out of circles
Idk if u know this but bigmama is better with passive + prism since you intentionally offset your 18 stacker from the fdk/hunter/dh to cover an add set
anyone know why i'm trying to enter retail dungeons and i'm getting this msg
What dungeon
I've been sending the 18 stack into 10 soilders on pull with lust
just tried rookery and then cinderbrew
wanted to check nameplate stuff
just saw this spec popularity graph. First time i see Sub being above Assa. What caused this?
because people are sheep
Ye thats how you can parse but then the second intermission ends up being super long
also because for some reason people think assa's raw boss st being bad means the spec is
which is a wild conclusion
Cause its not in season anymore? Weird
They get to pad enough elsewhere. That's my time
hrm really weird
ok yeah i can walk into priory
huh i don't get it
fkn sitting using evi into prio targets and stupid architecht scaffolding cos the meta boys need to shine
im only doing that if theres a dh
Idk what key level youre talking about but youre just making it harder if everyone prisms on pull, and sub is a monster add killer so offsetting your prism is the most logical, you also get to do extra prism on demo duo and speed up the key (another insane sub fight)
or sometimes i hit evis because im too lazy to check target count
solo pug life is rough
the pug special is everyone blows their load
then your tank doesnt pull more and you're all limp dicking a 2-3 pack
for 20 secs
Also if youre playing with BM or DH dont do this, your job is actually to be the trash killer not the prio killer
Just BP 8)
they took er jerb
that's a legacy sub complaint
Well them complaints are just wrong
tell them they're being stupid
Timed 21 arakara by pressing powder
and that BP does barely less prio than evis
does bm even funnel
they have funnel now yes
thought it was mainly arcane and havoc
No bm does its ST rotation and it cleaves
The "funnel" is 3 barbed shots running
ahhh
But thats not big, its just they do ST and it cleaves and ehen youre STing ofc your prio is good
Technically sub does have funnel
Since you can always 2x dance between flags with extra cdr
haha true
honestly, the 5% from deathstalker wouldn't go a miss
hell ye
just waiting on DN to be BP too
But ye, what comps are u boys running for 21s?
Pwar rsham bm fdk rogue
Would phys comp would too?
do you guys want to know
are you back on rogue??
my favorite meme of tww
I see the outlaws getting high with it
Im rank 1 US 🙂
oh shit
goes to show how much i've been keeping up
Ye 100% positive i will get resil 21 and probs 22 street gambit eco
there you are, rank 1
dawn feels insane
nice
for sub
i carried the fuck out of a 18 dawn back when i was still pushing
carried the amazing ketadoc havoc dh
I did 11.89m in a 19 earlier
dawn feels incredible for sub
Kaboom
this was my last 18
but, i do think it depends a bit on route too
some tanks are doing some chain shit top right side of the church
that feels balls
Like the 3 pack?
That does sound cringe
that's a weird route
pwar is like the only tank i kind of like playing
ye it feels like s1 packs got into someones head
and told them they need killed
idk
that's an old route, nobody does that anymore really
Pmuch all the high keys routes are 2x shadow + taction pull infront of church --> miniboss + 2 tact, 1 shadow packs in church courtyard --> orb --> grandmas house
u 18 staacking the first pull after 1st boss ye?
Mm in 21s its ended up being araz
U end up sending an extra flag at on boats
Which feels better since the pull after that is miniboss 2x tsction 3 shadow walkers a caster and a shadow
So 18 stacks on that is wayyyyyy better
Do you have any vods at all btw
I may have a db vod somewhere lemme look
Check your DMs
Whats your guys strat for going into p3 dim without autumn?
cds coming up 4s after damage amp feels so bad
sounds like its a hold angle
so you have them for t he amp
speak to your raidteam and ask how their 90s are lining up, if the push timer screws it then you either hold on p2 or ask if a dmg stop is on the cards (everyone will hate you)
we push pargoth at winds so not a ton of leeway really
and we're struggling with the check a lot so i dont think holding is an option
i keep missing my second sectech by like 2 globals
its beyond tilting lol
thing is if your raidteam can beat some of the gravity stack + tank suck overlap it genuinely will save you double digit pulls
idk though, nowadays it feels like p3 is over before it really begins
Dawn?
You can have it up at start without autumn
Yeeee, if u play with 2 prio classes u can steal (ethically ofc) all the pad
Finally paused wow ,too tired to not be able to play my favorite class and spec (sub rogue) , I only managed 5/8M and 16 resi ,pugging with randos was hard,raiding with pugs was the same ,hopefully in midnight this spec and class will shine and will not make players sigh when they see us in queue.
subtlety is currently not bad in raid
its just midnight leaving us with a lot of concerns
Every raid wants 1 rogue.
Ye ur kinda comp limited in keys tho
think subtlety fits easier in comps as it brings strong burst
the problem is rly the extreme top end of keys, where rogue just isn't meta
but if i do a 15/16, it does not matter
pushing the highest keys always has this problem, and the game is not tuned around the very top end
some classes/specs are a bit too much in these combos sadly, but thats up to blizzard to decide with balancing
Being 5/8 has less to do with playing sub and more with pugging, I suppose
Sub is decent on council and strong on the last two
Hey guys, I'm seeing some spec variance in high m+ keys these days. Can someone explain the pluses and minuses of cold blood over tea? How about the Rotten over one point in Finality? Appreciate you guys!
cold blood is slightly better burst/st
tea is slightly better aoe
but the diffrence is minimal, means the choice is on you as a player
thistle tea really that strong this season?
Thanks for the answer! How about the bonuses of the Rotten vs that one point in Finality?
There’s even less distinction between these two, you don’t even play around the rotten
so basically just sim your character?
Yeah you can sim it, I genuinely do not think it matters which one you use here
What comp would be better for some 19s/20s you think @plush roost
Prot sub frost ele resto dru
Prot sub frost arcane resto sham
Ele rdudu
similar, both is fine
guys
how do you get cb sectec on dmg amp on dimmy
my flag is like 2 sec till being up when I land and I literally shadowstep to both arto and pargoth for sending flag insta
yeah I do as well
but won't it be just barely out still?
but it's normal for it to be 2 sec left when down then?
Do you play with hpal? You gotta ebeg
#subtlety message you can have it up right when it starts
Hey guys, does anyone know if routes sim is working fine for subs?\
how's Cursed Stone Idol in practice? my sim really wants me to wear it but the channel seems like it would be horrid to acc play with
pog tech
Fwiw it does assume you dont kill pargoth before the second winds start
we do that as well ye
else I can't imagine I'd ever have flag ready
You just dont flag on that platform
But flag isnt up when i get to the first platform either so
we also hold till the knock at ~2:25
so our 1.5 min line up for start of every platform
I think if I just send flag into sectech insta it should work with the Ryldd pathing
if his flag was 2s away i assumed they were doing the hold correctly
why not 2

do you ever stream @plush roost saw your 20 posted would love to rail bird
ye cant plug discord rules but u can find me
My Cold Blood macro is defaulting to the Outlaw version of Cold Blood so I can't macro Cold Blood and Secret Technique. How do I fix this?

I didn't get to try it yesterday D:
but we somehow oneshotted the mechanics in p3
can anyone tell me for raid/m+ do i go both for leech or both avoidance ? [cloak/wrist]
i run so far with only leech but i checked top logs and theres just too much random stuff some even go for speed
mythic raiding 6/8 so far - progressing further
m+ 16 resilient so far trying to go higher
avoidance
Generally doesnt really matter, you can use whatever you prefer
I pref leech
but avoidance is also good
thing is that avoidance affects the stuff that feint works on, so I like leech more
feel like when i check my self heal with leech its just insane
Love the fact that sectech still leeches the clones themselves and not us 
it doesnt stack ?
oh ok
Ye what eleem said
Only to poof a millisecond after kek
I personally dont think speed is good on rogues as were already pretty nimble, but dont think leech VS avoidance really matters much
Just get whatever you prefer
Yeah if speed was multiplicative it’d be nice
It’s sadly not though
What speed modifiers do we have that are always active btw?
I run around with 135% mms at all times but donno where it comes from, besides fleet footwork?
15% from fleet in the class tree, 20% during dance & stealth from shadowrunner and then 20% from fade to nothing
Speedyboy
Me with all speed enchants when i press sprint
Speed > rest
Leech is useless outside of cds and for avoidance we have feint
Speed caps at +49% btw 
From the stat
i just reenchanted my stuff to speed bc i only raid and with 730 and 15% healer increase buff i can never die
so might as well run really fast
but i was avoidance etc in prog
and for prog next tier im going to get defensive enchants again and the cycle will repeat
are you guys using two separate binds for forge + prism?
or just putting /use forge before /prism?
two binds
!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 can't decide for my last dinars. I have Lily and Netherprism... I messed up and bought a dagger with dinars. so i'm debating whether to get Araz, Pacemaker or Antenna. Kinda want to play Assassination too
!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.
thanks fuu, you're the goat
hey, why is it that in Nexus King M fight most Rogues in logs can send 2nd Flagelation at timestemp 01:24 but cooldown is 01:30. i dont understand 🙂

Is Shadow Techniques broken, or is my WA tracker messed up? Seems like it doesnt refresh the CP to full sometimes when its at 6
It only refreshes if it can grant you full cp
Am I supposed to be timing my finisher to go right when it hits 6 then?
Randomly Ill get it to refresh twice in a row and I'll literally just Evis like 3 times straight
You have 7 combo points, so you need 7 stacks of it to refresh
But it’s not something you play around no
Except pooling before flag
Okay thanks, its just annoying seeing the WA tracker showing 6 CP for Shadow Techniques and then expecting my CP to refresh, but it doesnt
should i fish for coup de grace before the 3 phase burn on dimensius ?
Rogue Defensive Spreadsheet: > Click to open <
am i an idiot or can i not make a macro to shadowstep to a specific person in my raid?
you can
/cast [@name] Shadowstep
should work
if you've done that and its not working, you likely have shadowstep on your main bar that swaps when you stealth and need to put the macro on your stealth bar too (or non-stealth bar too)
alternatively though, you can just use a focus step macro too, that way you're not locked into stepping one person
Which is doing better in keys 10-16, sub or assa?
Dh/fury war/dk/bm hunter -> quick invites + 3 button rotation and meta and can play 1 handed while drinking a beer
Saying i should keep gearing my frost dk eh?
Do whatever u want but from my experience playing rogue this season in m+ is like tilting my ass i afk all night in dornogal 16 reserve key done - can only play my own key where -200 rio only joins and +14 timed - declined farming all day
Just coming back to the game. DK and Rog both 700 ilvl
U wont get invited people just think rogue is trash they just look for dk/dhs/fury wars or bm hunters
Fury nod is kinda fake, but FDK, HDH and BM are free slides into groups
is anyone here very skilled with sims?
im trying to improve my gear but every sim is saying there is not a single upgrade that possibly exists
which i refuse to believe

thanks idk why im dumb as shit
you probably have very minor sidegrades at best
like if every slot is 730 besides embellish
yeah i mean im basically there, minus crafted neck
i just figured there would be like a couple more percent i could squeeze out somehow
zero chance you find percentage upgrades ur pretty much full bis
yeah i was checking topgear and trying every combination of ring/necklace i thought would be better, momma’s mega medallion, salhadar’s folley, logic gate alpha, etc, but legit nothing moved the needle more than like .1%
someone care to explain to me as to why finality 1/2 seems to be stronger in m+ than the rotten this season?
because gear is pretty much done
sub sims suck
As long as you dont have haste its fine
Is sub king in m+ atm?
damn thats kinda demotivating lol, appreciate the help tho 🫡
For rogue sure
In general, no
Rogue hasn’t been the meta pick for quite a bit tbh, just doesn’t bring much to the table
how's cursed stone idol in practice? my sim wants me to use it, but i've got lily and forge and myth pacemaker
so i'm curious if it can be used on sub or it's just not a thing due to its channel time
Its fine
But you should probably get prism, because its by far the best trinket for sub
thanks
i started playing this season like 9 days ago
will kill myth fractilus and get it from dinar prolly but in the meantime
i was curious
@maiden oar i concede that fast plexus is probably good even without autumn
crazy stuff
prism seems insane to play
ye but with autumn everything gets cursed anyway
even with lily you won't have a trinket for 2nd cds
might spin a wheel tn
you have can have it for the back half of blades ig
so sad
its a fun puzzle but alot of my ideas are impossible to sim bc idk how to make it delay flag
so i think im just stuck to guessimg
maybe with the final 3% we can fast push 
surely!
!wa
if a combo spender's tooltip only has values up to 6 combo points, does it still gain benefits from extra points like with supercharged points and such?
yes supercharger allows it to go above 7
ok, just wanted to make sure it doesnt eat combo points, though i supposed that would have been mentioned in the guides
histories greatest minds tackle 20 gambit
i see 2 cb chads in this ss
oh wait is 300 assa
it was kingsbane assa, sub tea, sub cb
banger key we didnt time cause we died to soleah reandomly XD
Quick Question, I was comparing my logs for Mythic Saladhar compared to a high ranked rogue, and my coup de grace casts are almost half of his, same with my unseen blades being so low compared to his. Aside from ensuring I cast the 2nd Coup, is it just RNG, or is there something I should be actively doing to promote more coups?
has there been a guild that has killed dimensius on their first time without two dks? and if so, how did they do it?
saw a clip of a mage blinking over and knocking the closest add
and dk gripping the other 2
New sub on beta feels much much better
ummmm
where is symbols of death on beta
my god
it's gone.
OMG
rupture
MY BOY
LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO MY BOY
WE ARE SO BACK
Rupter is goned !
Symbols and Dance got merged.
haste wierdness got tuned back a lot.
next highest is 400k down
i checked youre the best out of 1507 then
is this the first week with the 15% buff?
i've been gone
holy guacamole
insane
finally had a good dimensius pull after a night of getting inted for the artoshion flag half our pulls and i inted the amp
sob sob

i wouldve come close to charr on nexus king but someone had a starkiller incident
he is safe...
yeah i think i could do a little bit to guarantee cb sectech into shadowcraft coup on there right when all the dudes come in
with the fast p1
if i line it up better
disgusting fight and it only gets worse
well i think if u go super speed it could potentially be better
but u need to be FAST
like 0 buyer all gas go go fast
and that will never happen probably dimmy mount too lucrative
is forge just cooked on bosses 1-6?
depends
man i hate dimmy
i think its good on loomithar if ur killtime isnt super insane fast
its good on soul hunter
We push p1 at 1:45, we push arto before he even throws the second rock, we push pargoth normally
can be good on plexus depending on kt
and soulbinder its a personal prefernce thing i play 1x on use on that fight but i dont know if im right
it just makes sense in my head
yeah ive been not flagging on pargoth recently
he isnt worth it
yahp
just sucks
nah we were just speed clear this week
ah
full blast
just sucks mang just sucks
well
at a normal time
but it was definitely not cool after that
if u pot on opener
pushing that fast
oh i was thinking
flag 1 pot forge
flag 2 artoshion forge
nothing
flag 3 prism pot explode amp
i think if u go that fast the good flags are a higher % of the time in the fight probably
and it evens out
ah
it was 2:04
ic
still cringe ngl

held pargoth
did it feel good
I think next time i go flag on cd, flag pargoth, pray for the same phase timing
but idk its just cursed no matter what u do tbh
what do u mean placing behindim a noob
parsed 75 tho ehhh not bad for basically missing 2 casts
ive come to the conclusion that p2 dam is fake
@warcraft logs remove p2 from the partition!
every good log i check has sub rogue at the top of p1 p3 and a few steps below top guy in p2
probably ok to sac p2 somewhat
placing the adds on araz behind the pools so they just run through
can cloak and stand in pool
if its during a flag aet
set
dance timings should be so sectech hits when orbs are on boss
so place behind doesnt matter
shadowstep the drop guys last second
itll only matter if u are in flag
I tried stepping a dk on a drop today and learned that he just doesnt move and then grips it into the puddle
insane work
hehehehe
I accidentally ran my soul hunters setup with replicating on that nexus king kill and it may be parse tech lowkey
Thats the platform rupture damage
Kinda insano
Finality damage makes up for it a little bit? Those are some meaty coups
finality coup bug 
Smodge

Thats what ive always been running on it
yeah i saw alot of good logs running rs on nexus king
i was doing it for a bit but i couldnt justify it internally so i stopped
maybe its correct though that rupture does go crazy
Damage amp cheese

Thatd be sick if the amp wasnt ending 5 seconds early
We had nk at like 13% when dragon died lmao
im in dire need of autumn
Playing my flag window during ghosts is really annoying lmao
u get used to it
i just uh
sac the coup tick if i have t o break eye contact with the boss though
if ur not doing that then its terrifying
tbh i probably could get a bit into his model and move in a specific way to not lose the coup tick without it being as risky if the ghosts spawn like 180 degrees apart
but its too scary
Do we have any midnight trial builds posted anywhere?
Don’t think so. You can watch shindig he’s testing some stuff out at the moment.
in the midnight channel there are
!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.
stealthi added a pin for talent builds
what happens if the Flag target dies before we finished stacking
you die irl

wait im looking for the macro where if in steath cheapshot if not kidney shot
it changes to the permanent buff with the stack amount you have
need to repalce the names with the full ones but sth like this should work
/cast [bonusbar:1] cheap; kidney
so it could be risky to flag Dimmy P1 adds on pull
you don't need to use flag on the target you attack
so you can always just flag on dimmy
and then attack the adds
you still stack up with your finishers
hmm alright, that could be managed
ahh thank you
u can flag dimmy skip strike and go straight into cds If ur guildmates are oneshotting the masses
s/o stealthi for the tip
Any info in regards to the new updates to sub I just saw in here ?
I noticed rupture and symbols are going
Thank you
yea lots of discussion going on
@maiden oar
Time to get silly
Boy do i have some bad News
You get first 2 slots for free then its paid
I think it totals to 800k each char

I've had hpal for literally every boss except the 2 I need him for T_T
he didn't feel comfortable on nexus king 
oh i meant autoswapping
if swimming
is it -1k whenever i enter or exit water
nah but 😭 imagine if
dat would be crazy HAHA
u never know
anyone knows why im getting knocked back further than my guidies on p1 dimensius
im barely staying on the platform
did you jump
nope
dang i'm a gnome
cancel the knockback with shadowstep on a friendly dk or dh and never have to worry about it
it is also angle tbh
Gnomes have bad things happen to them as they deserve
btw coming back to this, wdym skip strike
like just flag dimmy out of stealth then tab to add and do SD+SoD+backstab etc?
Am I missing something? Or The rotation is just now Shadowstrike/Shuriken Storm -> Evis/BP and Sectec on CD during shadow dance
Well, before we had disjointed CDs, CDR, rupture, shadow symbols outside of dance sometimes ,etc
there are some otpimizations, but yes thats the core
@warm marlin idk I do the fast route like you did but somehow still had 2 seconds left
insta sending flag landing on platform as well
do you have the % mount speed equipment increase perchance
or is it skill issue
i dont think those boosts work with skyriding
I know the parachute works
its a mixed bag
symbols of death got its life drained out of it already
so it makes sense to remove it
rupture similar, it was just very weak
kinda redundant to everything sub wanted to do
which was to line up CDs and burst
Backstabs still a irrelevant button?
backstab and gloomblade are still weak compared to other spells
rupture felt meh, but not using rupture makes the button presses very similar
now we have like 5 buttons?
backszab/strike/evis are your rotation
secret, dance and blades your cooldowns
in aoe you replace backstab with storm and evis with bp
which is very simple
that thing that pressing storm instead of backstab ever
with the new clone talent
worth it or whatever?
the new tornado
storm also gets buffed on stealth
oh, weaponstrikes mandatory now
but you would only use it once
I'm looking at every Shadow dmg talent we got
looks like extra % shadow dmg might be worth it
we get it on apex and on brew
you'll be updating the midnight sub rogue first impressions??
i can probably write a forum post
cool
but i need to play a bit more with it, changes just happened
ye ye ofc
i like this more than what we had
was my impression, from earlier today
still feels like we're the shadowstrike spec
it is better in some parts
and honestly, sub always been the Shadow Dance Ambush, maybe lean on that
its still early, so i hope for a bit more changes/iteration
but for people loving super simplified rotations with little depth, it isn't too bad as is
seems like atm all the damage is baked into strike
evis is still top dmg
yeah if you count coup as evisc
I guess technically coup is the highest dam
then evisc
then strike
Even without that
hmm with the blades bug and not having much haste this is slightly miserable
i do not have enough sht
what's the bug? I did all of testing with apex3 
is fel rush on myth soul hunters soloable with cloak of shadows?
