I do like the delay on sectec though. It gives you time to turn around and look at the camera
maybe it was 0.3/0.6 and they doubled the timings in an undocumented change?
you can't even know what's intended
that from my reclear
Akaari no Ferrari
hmm WM does seem different between prepatch and beta
in beta it seems like WM and apex are both 0.6s
maybe they made them all the same in a recent build
prepatch WM is 0.3s or so
so akaari formed a union with the other shadow clones and they are all equally delayed
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Good on them for enjoying the benefits of joining the local 69420
Slowkari
perhaps akaari will soon join the union of clones not considered pets

Thats new then, because for most of beta its been 0.3 for wm
No clue, very little, 71 ilvl new ding so
clones strong together
So I know in ST we can push haste super high like 30%+ but I've seen seen different ranges for M+. Is there like a base breakpoint or just a general 14-20% vibe?
you usually want to be above 12%
after that its sim time
the profile uses around 20% for dungeon slice
I think I'm like 12% and was debating re crafting for more haste
Im at 17% as new ding.. lol
does more haste make you more rage starved or less?
You have infinite energy during your cooldowns either way
And outside of your cooldowns youre not doing much damage regardless
Also is it just me or does feint usage feel rough/impossible outside of dance? Feels that way as Assa as well
Is haste affecting first dance intended (if its haste that is making it longer)
Presumably since it wasnt like that at the start and it got changed
just sac damage and hold your energy, not like you're doing much anyway
especially since you dont have cdr anymore
True
also would you just send a sec tech outside of dance when dance is not up or is it better to wait? Keeps happening after second blades and I've been doing a naked sec tech and then dance just lines up better for the next blades as well
Probably, just depends on how much haste you have
Same it is like sech tech is ready and 10s on dance
If it just makes you get +1 sectech cast without losing anything then why not
ye thats what Im thinking as well
as a long time sin enjoyer tried out sub today now that its simple enough for me to play (felt pretty nice) am i doing my sht right if i just pop my cd:s and build and spend my combo points at 5-6 or are the some nuances
prio on the secret technique and then evi on st and blackpowder on aoe
Finish with 6+
We’re not pop dance on cd
Why do we play with Danse macabre if we don't really play around? I don't get it
There is nothing better
they buffed the damage by like 150% to make us pick it
They should buff it again IMO, to force us to use backstab/shuriken tempest during SD 🙃
how dare it not proc with sectec
Not coup either'
secret?
a bug? 
Weird
You would think dark brew would have a place given the tier set
when you log in and that happy face just smiles at you 
is he actually happy
did you guys just assume sec techs gender
Talking about the Apex talent clones?
He's smirking on the left, just can't see it because of the shade
I tried making a version where he's happy but if you're more than 100 yards away from my computer it doesn't load
yes
We need a uwu Sectech replacement icon
lol
Replace it with 
I just read something about turning off pet, does this roll up our clones damage into our damage in combat log? Does it change what we see as dmg in the combat text?
sub is basically mad
that's just Dave
yea
sneakin in the bushes, classic Dave
wait isnt surv also a bush guy
pretty sure its a girl
Apex only lets us refund once right? so stacking higher is pointless or
you can't refund multiple in a row
need to use a builder in between
if thats the question
ye, was just a question of is there a point to pre stacking other than first refund
Holy jawline
also do we have any numbers on beta trinkets yet*
ik haste on use is seen as good, but i did not like gaze of alnseer. is it vessel vs plume or
trying to upgrade trinkets for ''free'' (just valorstones) but can't is it bugged or am I missing something
Damn pay to win
Item upgrade is bugged yes

I’ve been told that you can upgrade or downgrade crests(use the item after you do) and the item upgrade will work
Idk ask blizz spaghetti code why this is a thing
he's just a cool guy
@swift tinsel addon ClearRogueCombopoints should remove them from the player frame on default UI
Wasn’t sure if you were looking for that
Maybe it was someone else

tagging me with my own addon, call my mom tell her I'm famous
damn straight
was trying to use Tartan UI Hider to remove the energy bar but no matter what I tried putting in from /framestack it didn't wanna poof away
Oooh it was energy bar
might dig in to see how other the full ui replacers did it and try and snipe the script
I was thinking cps
ah yeah that one was a simple script-to-lua file
Answered so much ui stuff it started blurring
dude I feel that lol
the dms have slowed at least
now I have time to make fun of people on forums for saying rogue needs buffs bc of prepatch log damage
i forgot i even set that as my stealth macro 
Hell yeah, another F1 stealth fan
Sub world.
he was sin in that key
what the heck


I'm a middle-mouse-button stealther myself
Buff rogues, I want to go back to double rogue keys and watch our spec go from least played to top due to game balance
i got stealth on shift-p
that's unique
You must have giant hands
someone said esc-enter
🏄 🏄♀️ 👍
mine's always been mouse button 5
I wonder what NuSub's song would be..
Can you guys choose your arc profile on other chars without importing the string ?
As in just choose the profile via the drop down
nope
gotta set up every time
even when you switch specs
thankfully you can import but its a bit of an annoying step
if you generate the export string on one spec then swap specs without logging out/back in the string itself should still be there so you can paste it in the import box directly below it
I just saw some Youtuber saying that we must use shuriken storm while shadow dance when we are facing +3 target. But if we play trickster, is it still worth it ? because we need to setup coup de grace by using shadowstrike/backstab. So if we are spamming aoe spells even while the burst window, we are just loosing an important spell right ?
specs have their own profile list and can't reference other spec's lists
and if you edit the Default profile, it is specific to that spec
you can't
you can unless it changed
storm will proc unseen blade with the talent clever combatant
you use storm on 3+ always, there is no cleave anymore from nimble flurry
you can copy a layout within a spec
but not across specs
at least as of last night
Did it Sunday as sub to outlaw

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Fact I forgot to use it mb
Yes i knew that but i forgot the clever combatant talent
why is the shadow version of shadowstrike hitting for more than double the original strike
caught raidbots lacking
Idk its not doing it on the beta, only seems to be prepatch
Ye i havent found a good fix for that issue, but it shouldnt impact anything
I need to check again - thanks
ye this doesn't seem normal
only thing i can think about is some things getting double dipped to hell
maybe the crit dmg applies again
They should aura nerf us just to make sure
And for anybody curious, its doing this because sometimes its casting dance at like 45 energy so it cant afford to strike, but if i put energy>=50 the sim hates it and it shows like -2%
So not sure how to fix, but as i said it shouldnt really impact much
i assume you tried adding the energy check to only low cp dances
delaying a high cp start dance for energy could be why its losing damage?
none of these let you copy a profile from another spec
also deathstalker currently doesn't do dance->finisher, which seems wrong
Yeah because its like -2% to do it in simc
Dont think so
Not sure why
But ive tried a bunch of stuff and nothing seemed better than simply having it be <=2 cp
It doesn’t seems wrong to me. More Shadowstrike casts better than buffed fibishers
putting this actions+=/variable,name=shd_cp,value=(combo_points<=2|combo_points>=6)&talent.deathstalkers_mark|talent.unseen_blade&(combo_points<=1|combo_points>=6) is working for me
Just hoping to clarify a question on rotation - with 6+ CP and sectec + dance ready do you finish then dance or immediately dance+sectec?
Either
Or well, if sectech is ready send dance+sectech to not delay
But you can enter dance at either low or high cp
Just not like 4
Think it might be time to race change to human and make a Maki transmog after watching the Perfect Prep episode of JJK
Pure cinema
Just think of how much time you can save with double hearthstone charges
Honestly I will take advantage of that a ton with transmog farming
Instead of the dalaran/housing hearthstone workaround
Do they still get rep bonus too?
Nah, that got binned and we got double hearth charge instead
Damn
It's fine, imo.
Was gonna say with the timewalking rep tokens you can speedrun exalted pretty easy
It’s just a very cozy QoL thing
I think I have the sweatpants to do a Toji Fushiguro transmog too lol
They're relatively easy to get 'cos they're monk lookalike
I think I have all difficulty versions haha
Oh yeah
And there should be a black short sleeve shirt that’s pretty easy to find if I don’t have one already
They do give you the flattest ass in the world though
Was catching up on the new season while doing my treadmilling last night lol
Dang that’s low-key kinda sad
I worked hard for that ass
hank hill lookin ass
Right??
They look hella comfy though. A buddy has them on her void elf and they look like the best PJ's

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
For both hero talents
do you send this dance / sec tech? you'd have like 2 or 3 seconds of no shadow dance in the next blades if you sent blades off CD right?
should be a send since still 23 seconds on sblade
are the overlaps gona change any in midnight? One dance almost covers all of Blades
The tier set makes blades 4 seconds longer
whats are bis non raid trinkets in prepatch
it's kinda weird because sometimes if u consume mark by first global in dance and it procs u can consume it twice within one dance
cheers but Screams of a Forgotten Sky is a raid trinket
looking for non raid trinkets
so scroll down and look at the comparisons
ah thanks
OK I just foudn that there'd be 3 seconds of downtime or so in that next shadow blades if I do send that dance but yeah it def didnt feel correct to hold or anything. I just dont understand how you're supposed to have 2 charges of dance when blades comes up if you send there
it would be like 1 and a half for me
not entirely the same but i asked something similar last night
so you can give that a read and see what eleem says
Hey all super noob question here.. New to Rogue.. While playing Sub and using Shadowdance what is the best way you guys find to use your finishers while the stealth bar replaces the main keys. Cant seem to avoid the stealth bar entirely.
Either get an addon to disable it or make your stealth bar identical to your regular bar
I'm still honestly confused how you guys are getting to 2 full charges of shadow dance before non-opener blades. How many dances are you sending in between blades? I logged myself and outside of the 2 during shadow blades I send 3 dance/sectechs.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YgrWLTq6N341vctA?fight=1&type=casts&source=9&view=timeline
For my 2nd shadow blades I had 2 globals outside of dance tho, and you guys are saying you don't have that?
How much does sec tech Cooldown matter? my sec tech duration for this during beta was 22 sec cd. (On Live its 19 sec CD but that doesnt change that I consistently have 2 globals of non shadow dance in the 2nd blades)
you also need some baseline haste to get dance to almost 9 secs with trinket on
Okay, so it's a haste issue thing? On live I was playing w/ 30% haste but you also need a haste trinket on use to stretch out dance so you don't have globals outside of dance on blades?
Haste doesnt give dance cdr
If you are always 3 dancing outside of blades you arent gonna hit 2 in blades
80 seconds is 4 casts
So 90 seconds is 4.5 casts, so you cant fit 5 casts consistently everytime
Okay so you bounce between 5 and 4 casts every other?
Assuming theres no mechanics you would do that ye
yeye assuming target dummy shenanigans
so you WOULD cast shadowdance/sec tech here, and use other supplemental externals or gear to try to increase shadow dance duration enough that you don't have to eat non dance globals in blades? Or does that just kinda happen
I mean most likely you just delay blades by like 2 seconds
ok that works just casting blades when dance is 7-8 sec off cd or whatever
so, just wanting to clarify the FAQ, we use shuriken storm as a combo builder outside of shadowdance on two targets, does this apply to bosses? i.e two boss encounters? and do we just slam evis or black powder as a finisher in that situation
Why wouldnt it apply to bosses
Theres nothing special about bosses making them take less damage from storm only
If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be asking to clarify now would I?
Out of curiosity how much of a loss is it to evis vs bp in 2 target now?
I wanted to confirm if we use black powder or evis as well
Sometimes u know a mob is like 10% higher and i feel like i should evis
Just griefing overall zzz
Are the rules for storm the same in Trickster and DS?
Not very big
Sims say 0.8%, but thats without potent powder
Ye didnt think so, honestly just wanted to not feel like im griefing myself lmao
Anything less than 2% is worth
If a mob too health
Seems to be more like 4% for deathstalker, which makes sense as it has stuff buffing BP exclusively
Whereas trickster buffs all finishers
idk if im trippin but all my sims are showing screams trink not performing
only on st its good its saying to run forge on aoe
Screams has been doing 3-4% of total in keys for me. Logs seem to favor antenna/prism in keys iirc.
idk i tried it and i got more value in high keys from prism and forge
I saw this on shindigg video today. it kinda helped me remembering stuff

is symbiosis still bugged
oh yeah how does haste procs work when you already press sdance?
aka you get lust after you press dance

wait lingering buffs non rogue abilities again
ngl i should have big brained and enchanted the 15% attackspeed enchant
from bfa

i havent played since before patch is there just one build
for nk/dimmy
i just played full single target the entire time
the reason i asked if i would get actioned
they now made old enchants not work on gear above 120
just a happy little accident
my brain keeps trying to rupture

yeah my opener feels so.... empty now
think so

shoutout my muscle memory hitting backstab
Shit feels so strange
is running [#showtooltip Shadowstrike
/cast [bonusbar:1] Shadowstrike; Backstab] shitty? or any sort of delay there
@short radish man looking at the guide spec looks so empty now
ig maybe theres niche scenarios you auto for a bit to fit darkest night into supercharger
yes because of stance delay. have separate binds
i asked something similar ish last night
i think maybe with apex talents you auto a bit
but thats to set up for sectech
i mean i guess rn you just hope they line up sometimes natty?

you can supercharge both the dn evis and the sectech cant you
but then ig you'd have to be in a situation you send dance sectech on the last mark stack
then got to evis on dn
gotta wait for apex talents to have fun
lmao
i held
and got a r3 with lily + antenna and having set up my UI + looked at rotation 20 minutes before raid
unluggy
idk im looking at the guide and theres like
nothing
mfw the cooldown manager is tracking symbols by default
whats the apex for sub again?
thats a feature
as is the same for every class/spec. the base of sub is still the same. nothing in depth (as much as there can be) is done with prepatch by any of the TCs.
literally every discord thinks their main was pruned into oblivion and the alt look so much better.
apparently they somehow managed to prune BM

You either figure out that it’ll be ok and you enjoy it or dwell on where is everything. If you’re gonna sit there and not realize the overall changes it’s likely better just to quit
but going to have to figure that out on their own
the bm pruning was very funny to watch
they combined cotw and bloodshed saying bm didnt really need both of them and they liked bloodshed better
then later they said actually yeah bloodshed sucks we're just gonna put it into bestial wrath

Can someone explain like im five how this is optimal
Its in the Subtley faq
oh i get it
Im trying to understand it
okay so
thjats for the apex talent
we dont have those yet lol
dont worry about it until ur 90 and midnights out
i completely forgot and im in a raid so i can't check what the apex does
ik if i have to overflow combo points its for a good reason
I will wait for those experts
I'm no expert but it is to trigger this.
That's how you generate the shadow clones
When u trigger ancient arts on a finisher, the clone does another finisher. The clones are shadow, benefit from all our magic amps and such and do more damage than the finishers themselves.
Doing this results in your dances amping extra clones. So instead of using the refund to finish again and not get a clone, youre cheating it by instead using a builder to proc more clones.
Example 1. Not playing around this.
Dance strike > sec tec > strike > (ancient arts procs) evis(1 clone) > evis > strike > (proc) evis (2nd clone) > evis > dance > strike > (aa proc) evis (3rd) > evis > strike > (aa) evis (4th) > evis. 4 clones total.
Example 2: applying this.
Dance Strike > sec tec > strike > (aa) evis (1) > strike > (aa) evis (2) > strike > (aa) evis (3) > dance strike > (aa) evis (4) > strike > (aa) evis (5) > strike > (aa) evis (6) > strike > (aa) evis (7) > strike > (aa) evis (8)
8 clones. 16 globals
And this is what those extra clones do in damage
ur the goat tyty
Clone evis 4th on damage is insane
Ofc sometimes u dont have enough haste or didnt pool or w.e and u wont always get 8 clones per cd set but thats the idea
So clones are goated and are worth weaving for
Yes, this interaction will probably be fixed tho
and keep in mind it is only better on trickster mainly because it buffs all finishers kinda by default more than DS
Its still good to do on DS iirc, but ye trickster beeg value
it is a bit silly but i actually think they may leave this one on for a bit
^

Secret techniques must fill a combo point
they cant really nerf evis a lot or apex
even sec tech still has some dmg bugs
so maybe if they fix all the bugs it is an aura nerf
not much more
Guys, i was looking at some macros for sub. and i saw the SB + dance + sectech macro. wouldnt that mean you would only ever press this macro on full combo points if pressing this one 1 combo point you would lose alot of damage?
Hmmm yeah since it’s probably just lazy checking if we’re at 5+ instead of spending
Correct this is if u start at 7cp
If you say start at 7cp? how do you start at 7cp? wouldnt you need to strike first + evis?
Opener> strike evis vanish strike (7cp) macro
ah oke cool
Middle of combat, backstab to 7, start cds
Yeah thats what i thought. thank you charrend
Np king
Just dont delay sec tec to build to 7
If ur low cp just dance strike sec tec
No macro gaming
Yeah. makes sense
good morning lovely people
Morning broski
ideally you have a dance+strike macro but that one does not work because of changes they made ages ago
but the dance+sec tech should work
dance used to work diffrently
you had a short phase you could not use dance again
that was iirc changed in bfa
where changes to the spell made you burn all charges if you did press the key multiple times
which was then changed to not allow dance to be used during dance
because it seems they couldn't figure out how to revert to the previouse change
(or well, the effort was higher)
this lead to all sort of bugs, where you can or could not use dance during certain parts of the spell
dance i think was changed in df or tww, i don't exactly know the moment tho
the funniest one for me to this day is when they realized the super mantle situation
of dance protecting normal stealth
that was legion
and just nuked everything
and still created issues
yea
*creates
they went scorched+salted earth
it was a massive exploit for pvp
and as much as we dislike it, pvp was for most part what subtlety was designed around
people forget we had full stealth subterfuge for so long
that one was even sillier
you were hitting someone and they couldnt do anything to target you XD
new house build made
i think this one is special
i'll take screenshots and upload it sometime soon
can't wait 👀

another trap for sure
don't jinx it ^^
Someday they will unleash the world together and we can come visit each other
And I can get stuck in your house
TRUE
that would be fun
Also then I could assemble a very laggy sub rogue raid
hell yeah
The sub rotation will eternally be 1 6 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
Wtf is 6?
SecTec
6 is racial ofc
Is it gonna get any better with midnight?
apex talents make it play better generally speaking
It's 1 5 1 2 1 2 1 2
5 is blades dance sectec macro
but also, i dont really see how it would get worse in any way, so there is a silver lining 
would getting worse be just spamming shadowstrike over and over again
feels pretty unengaging atm
i know
Just like two weeks ago you'll still be doing Dance and then SecTec and then Strike Evis strike Evis etc.
Wasn't double strike a little gain?
idk man I just want to have something to think about
hero talents are the only thing requiring thought rn
quick question guys i havent followed the recent changes. i heard sub was gutted too much but i also enjoyed ele sham in its current state. is sub somewhat similar in complexity?
what is your baseline
Sub is fine, it's a lot simpler and cleaner to play
You should try it and see how you find it 'cos it's gonna be pretty subjective if you like it or not.
like in terms of thought, you dont have much of that in the spec itself, but as a dps of course you still need to consider priority damage, and doing this as sub is actually not super straightforward and there are probably some specific ways to increase priority damage, and of course you still need to weight when its valuable to hold cds
can we hold for dps though? I feel our ability to move around damage was much greater before
Ye, the general gameplay thought is still there. It's just smoother, with less moving parts.
like holding on to sec tech feels really bad rn
and much of the gameplay on beta is just not extremely intuitive, if you read what eleem was looking into with the apex talent for instance, or like not proccing the apex on secret technique, or using supercharger correctly
The hardest part is to not drift into nothingness and keep watching sectec+dance cd
a lot of that is just trying to avoid the huge pitfalls the spec has with bugs
i mean you can already do that while playing assa
no you dont i just mean like holding blades and such
things every dps spec does for the most part
not sub-specific timings
i suspect they'll discover you'll want to hold coup/DN for supercharger and apex
Now sub can too, don't cap energy is all you need between dances
weird part is coup doesnt benefit from supercharger alone and dn doesnt benefit from apex
Like I don't mind the spec becoming just builder spender, I wish we got more of the shadowdance flexibility back
ohhhhh ok that's why it's not a gain currently
coup is linear of course
That really didnt change much... We still hold 2 for blades and use the in-betweens whenever
so it doesnt matter if you supercharge it, compared to a regular evis
i still never understood why supercharging coup was the same as evis
Some next patch we maybe get the free sectec and can dance more flexible
darkest night is just legit bugged and the apex pretends that its a regular eviscerat IIRC
sorry to be derailing it a bit, but this is exactly why I'm unhappy with the current changes because we went from kind of being a DPS scalpel to just another run of the mill dps
I would like one more button and I'd like it to be some kind of amp system that your gameplay fuels, then you unleash for critical burst mode at some point (Netherprism).
no shot
sad
yeah like
having coup, dn, and secret technique being largely bugged with apex is a huge L
DN supercharged with apex would be such a massive hit
surely they'll fix it 
It wouldn't be Sub if it wasn't lmao
SHT generation is so high though that
next year maybe
i still haven't been on the beta but i suspect you get a fuckton of refunds
yeah and theres the thing about overcapping cp as well right
i dont remember if that was just for blades or not
but if they fix more sht bugs then
they should really tune down the auto attack sht generation
and make sht generation rely more on clones imo
Was hitting dummies with the singlebutton-assistant and it seems to queue alternating poisons into the rotation whilst the duration has ~59min remaining. Anyone else has this happening?
would be cool
that way you dont lose massive amounts of damage from not having a blue in the group
LOL
damn is obr catching up to the poison swap tech already
That'd be cool and I hope more of our identity goes into Shadow and Shadow Clone stuff 'cos it's cool
oh is there actual tech
maybe it queues it on low energy after weapon swing
someone in red channels
was complaining that obr was telling him to swap off wound/crippling poison
are you using those
it mostly switches between wound/instant but only been hitting for like 2 min
yea, also atrophic i notice now
bizarre
lol just now i had it queue instant poison into wound poison , 2 psn casts back to back
maybe obr-gpt thinks youre using dragon tempered blades or something lolol
Maybe it's gotten something stuck
nah had it yesterday as well
Weird
And very funny
I need to sort some RL stuff but when I get back I'll turn it on and have a look too
well good news is the baseline of sub is much less complicated than before so i don't think you need 1 button to play
what if I need help pressing eviscerate after pressing backstab?
Weird, mine is only suggesting poisons once (at the start, when I didn't have any)
Although it did, for whatever reason, go Instant -> Crippling -> Numbing lmao
is raidbots for sub working rn? The numbers seem pretty low
In beta, do we stop spending CPs and start pooling ShT at some point before Dances similar to pre-rework?
raidbots works yes
we haven't found a optimization around that currently, so no
also the rate at which sht procs seems too high to make it worth
An optimization was found for it
FAQ says to
sorry I'm dumb but can someone explain the logic to me of macroing dance and SecTec together
if the idea is to dance on low CP
The idea is low cp or full cp.
Full cp lets you Sectech immediately which makes sure you get all globals in dance.
@narrow shadow you do pool on beta. #subtlety message
thats diffrent
what was asked for was to not use builder before shadow dance
so you conserve sht stacks
which does not seem to be worth it
ofc there is the mentioned optimization during dance
basically best you can do is look at sec tech and blades cd
and ask yourself can i stab to full or not
but even if you are at like 2 or 1 cp
you just dance strike
instead of trying to stab to full
I know it’s early for me but this is literally what they asked.
yea that situation is you just stabbed to full and sec tech is about to come home
but idk how many seconds is the border
Correct.
like maybe 3 or 4
Fuu told them no
the message you linked mentioned dance^^

well it can be confusing but yea we are ignoring dance cd most of the time tbh
unless it is for blades
then you just kinda remember you dance duration and say ok we can get 2 here
i will miss addons if i could just have a little dance with a number to know current dance duration
maybe someone makes that
and we gamble with weapon and other proc haste shit
true with how sectec works now you never need to look at dance cd unless blades is coming up
The message I linked was for trying to optimize the apex triggers, which also involves sht stacking
apex can get a bit weird if you have decent haste and skyfury
Until bliz says too much fun is being had
you end dance with 7 or so stacks even after doing strike evis strike evis
this?
yea i expect them to nerf shadowcraft again maybe
because nerfing apex would be distasteful
i would not say its making a clear point that you pool sht before dance
just states how you play around it during dance
psycho cube
i mean for sht before sec tech eventually we will have more clear numbers
now any random change blizz does can krangle things
ok
i visited this guys house and it was a twin peaks scene now he is developing the wonder weapons
Hahaha
LOL true
nice
@tribal blade out here trying to recreate https://www.thehouseontherock.com/
The House on the Rock is a world famous Wisconsin Attraction opened in 1960 by Alex Jordan. It now also features a world class resort, golf course, and spa!
oh you are?
You are
oh gotcha haha
I haven’t been there in awhile but it’s an insanely fun creation to visit
How can it be that there are such big differences in DPS during raids? Is it all down to the trinkets? On our first clear I used prism, which is pretty damn shit right now with these killtimes
Less initial oomph will def play a part with the killtimers, yeah
maybe use prism on dimmy
Idk What would make anyone want to use it on a fight less than 3:30
I got the 35% haste, stats should be fine
I have around 45% crit 35% haste 55% mast 25% vers without any flasks or so
I just didnt know that the killtimers are THAT low 
yeahyeah its a shame on me 
I think with the dim trinket and like araz or soulhunters trinket I should be good
interesting everyone's running ritual forge now
Lily is still nice
I ran Lily, but I didn’t sim anything
I wish I had a myth Forge but effort
that's kinda banking on your raid killing sub 1:30
I think doge is what everyone had
1:47 would be ideal
130 is likely forge
yeah i'm looking at the first fight in the raid that goes over 1:30 (soul hunters) and the peeps running lily are on top
i have no idea how fast my guild is gonna kill bosses
last week on reset
does my guild do more dmg this week since it's not a lot of their first times seeing their class changes
i think i'll just run forge and whatever happens happens
You’ve got 3 fights that get 1/2 a use of Lily
so idk
You don’t have mythic Lily either right?
Forge also good with TFD likely so it’s probably w/e
We’re in dance for so long in the opener with decent haste
I wonder how many are doing a pre-dance warmup routine. 
definitely me
this one is so much easier
20 seconds instead of 30
and none of this - if you wipe with 0 stacks
you gotta wait a whole minute
how?
same way you did it last tier, just replace symbols
I have to ask again
Last Season all i did was symbols before the fight, now its just 1x dance to get the 2 supercharged?
Let's say evis does 1 damage per cp. Supercharging an eviscerate makes you do 10 damage instead of 7, so +3.
Supercharging coup makes you do 15 instead of 12, also +3
Since Supercharger is +cp and not %more damage
ahhhh ok i get it now
why is umbral edge picked ? and isnt shuriken tornado better for mythic plus aoe?
15% clone damage
its confusing, we dont pick any talents that spawn clones but still pick talents that increase clone damage ?
weaponmaster isnt picked, shuriken tornado neither, whats the point to increase clone damage?
sectec fires clones
2 clones
also when we get the apex that gives a lot of clones
i thought about it, i tried to see the damage increase on Secret technique but i saw no increase at all
Which SS
Ok that is a new one
There aren’t a lot of great talents
I suppose
But that talent gets very strong in midnight
akaari from sec tech = shadow clone
yeah keep in mind our whole toolkit is missing a big piece atm
apex pretty big for sub
yes youre right, it feels half done and awkward rn
i haven't looked at other classes apexs, but i figure ours is on the strong side
It does increase secret technique
You probably just havent enabled pets in your combatlog so youre not seeing the clones
A fair few apex are like 100% passive so the spectrum of effect is quite large across specs
We shuriken in dance now instead of shadow strike at how many targets? Is it much of a loss to shadow strike instead for prio
iirc at 2 you strike, 3 storm
but i wouldn't strike for prio in aoe
you lose a lot of cp generation
idk but in m+ i often refresh my mark with shadowstrike, because of singular focus
strike is now +2 CP and storm is +7
DS still feels bad for me in m+ with darkest night in aoe etc.
so more than triple the CP generation in aoe
Ah I gotcha
during dance shadowstrike often fill all your cp, so its worth to proc it again for singular focus
not as if shuriken storm does a lot of damage
yeah but when we get the apex that'll be sht going to filling your CPs instead of proccing refunds
and storm does much more dmg than it used to
it now has a dance modifier
plus both hero trees have talents buffing storm
i can't remember if the dance modifier is 50% or 100%
but it's big
You shadow strike once for macabre at least?
maybe with premed up and you want to prio
but you will lose overall dps doing that most likely
definitely gain prio though
isnt prio more important for m+ ?
depends on your group comp
Do we do anything weird to gain macabre stacks then? Seems we just ignore it and do our prio abilities
if you're in a key with 2 other pad aoers yeah probably better to prio more
thats a good thinking
and if you're in a weekly key it doesn't matter
currently no but things could change
100
maybe they tune DM to do more dmg and we start casting storm in ST
Well its once strike every 60 seconds
Just to keep the mark up
Haven’t followed in here too much (rip laptop), but what target count is Shuriken>Strike currently? 2?
3
Ah okay
ah yeah that's right
inside or outside dance ?
Well you cant really use strike much outside of dance
i'm betting you saw Shuriken>Strike and your brain made that read as "Shuriken Storm"
kinda
Dw no brain needed for new sub
(I’m just hating - haven’t actually tried it yet)

kinda yes but also no but also yes
so basically yes no
so yes
no?
maybe, perhaps, mayhaps?
Sub can’t get reworked until you spec into it
yeah nah or nah yeah?
yeah yeah nahhhhh
Perchance.
yeahhh
you should cast ss instead of ss when there's more than 3 targets
AH gotcha
also cast ST
make sure to pile up your ST procs before you are about to ST as a minor optimisation
this is only valid in the beta though and not live
write that down
the fact they made secret technique and shadowed techniques
is absolutely criminal
like at that point it's intentional fuckery
ShT were first 
There’s no case of sending raw Secret Technique anymore right?

Just thinking if I should do myself a favor and bind dance to my ST button
i dont think so
Ss or vanish>ss if you are out of range
you might enter dance without max CP
noooo
i bound dance+sectec macro to my old sectec+CB bind
and have solo dance button still
wait this is so smart
it feels like the muscle memory is already halfway there for that bind
Where do you have your dance Evis macro?
Ye but then I’ll just press my dance->strike macro
You know that doesn’t work correctly yea?
nauurrwww
interesting keybind choice
clearly we’re all old playing a 2 button spec
Not binding ST to dance but dance to ST is what I mean
Strike Dance macros don’t work with the delay
That’s where rupture was
Sooo I’m going to ask dumb 🙋. Is it really possible to sec Tec every shadow dance is that really a thing now with enough haste?
I currently dont have enough haste but that feels impossible lol
Or I should say feels insane strong if so
Oh so it’s not lining up perfectly per say you might just hold for a second or two to juice
well, you always have the option to dance generally speaking
youre just waiting on secret technique to come back up, except for in blades
so you hold dance for when that happens, but occassionally you might need to wait a second or two if dance is on cd, for whatever reason
external haste mixes up the timings slightly
banger notes today or tomorrow trust fr fr on god
Yeah so I’ll have a dance button for blades and a dance sec tec for non blades
sectech cd situation surely saved
well, you could just use the same button
Oh fair it wouldn’t be up
but its always good to give everything its own bind
Unless you need to hold blades for fight timings
oh yeah i just mean dance doesnt necessarily need its own button is all
separate from secret technique
Oh ye it’s a castsequence one
Is it still better to go in low combo, dance strike, sec tec?
Or just have the points and dance, sec Tec
Either
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Just don’t middle of the road it
Don't do that just bind it and double tap it
I use the old bs in dance macro from fuu and replaced bs with strike. Double tap fires it fine and then you can just use it as a strike hotkey
i'll be so happy if they finally fix the strike macro issue
i used to abuse that macro so much back in the day
+1
Speaking of, i checked in simc yesterday. Every 0.1 second you delay between dance and the follow spell costs about 0.3%
So its not the end of the world, but it aint great
So macro big value
And not sending shadow dance before the next gcd is ready is even bigger value
I don't wanna know how often I lost half a second by just mindlessly spamming buttons
Don't tell Whispyr I was here.
@ Whispyr
That sounds shit
Guess this is my sign to macro dance and shadowblades so i can press next spell asap lmao
I though castsequence macros like that were dead?
Id rather not though XD
can have that in my old rupture spot lol
sectech already has cancelaura ancient arts in it
prepped for midnight
or maybe the bug will get fixed till release ? 
you can indeed make a castsecuence reset 2 with strike and evis to spam yes
but actually nevermind
guys im a bit confused - this is from the same guide 2 sentence apart : "We shift to a multi-target priority at 3 targets," "Start using Aoe spells with 2 or more targets."
quick question, sorry if this has been asked its pretty specific. Does the new Atrophic poison stack with Devo?
Yes
ty ty 
2 targets you bp
from 3 onwards you also storm but storm and strike are quite close at 2
i see thanks
They stack multiplicatively like most dr
That’s what I do
!dance
hey WA shared their media pack, I can get my batman punches back
yeah its on Curseforge as of a couple hours ago under WeakAuras_SharedMedia
Textures, fonts and sounds
the meow is back!
i need the blizzbossmod to tell me to move 😄 does this work as well
For simplicity sake then, strike/eviscerate 1 target, Storm/BP 2 targets
no i need my taivan macros
people need to know when i pop vanish a dog ass big boi pops
my raid got upset with me for having the archmage's spare staff in my vanish macro
is it on global
it was used to shadowstep
very useful in bosses like uu nat
but i think they killed
it
now i think there is only 1 last trick but it is a secret
its not a secret
dont tell them the secret magic!
unless we talk about a diffrent trick
i mean you can probably find it in my message history at least 8-10 times
dont remember if you can still buy it on the ah
I am at 1% of that 
i think we talk about a diffrent item/toy then, my one is rock solid
if you know what i mean 😏
happens
i was promoting it in guides/discord heavily
so rogues did know
and it got removed after
fuu doxxing my man vargoth
just don't post it public, so others don't know
dont worry sub channel goes so fast no one will notice right
i mean since raszageth they havent made silly bosses
i still wait for someone to figure out a cheese with the joink mechanic of the little rocks
it iwas a bit useful on echo of nelth but apart from that
they do run around
Wow that adds up quickly
Wait you can macro black powder and coup :0
Well you generally want to coup in dance, and you can get more prio by spending apex on coup VS getting more aoe by spending it on BP
So i wouldnt recommend it
You could kick them up the stairs at bandit in undermine, step them and get kicked around until you are down the stairs again
if you want to keep the agency eleem mentioned
