Does wang also have energy
it's a bit scuffed though
ye it has energy
(Jk love u awang)
or it blocks your escape button from functioning
I tried editing the config .lua to bridge the gap but wasn't able to get it to shrink
lmao does it really
haven't experienced that yet
Awang prepping for his VR mmo youre trapped in forever
that's fucking hilarious

when it comes to Sub, is Nelf still a damage benifit or has it balanced out since the changes?
There was never much benefit to using nelf racial for sub
“Restealthing” as requires you to drop combat for 6s
it was quite handy in keys
👍 was just wondering if i should consider race changing. ill stick to human 😄
Oh for utility but that isn’t to do with sub I mean
The outlaw/assa changes did make meld meaningless for their damage, though
ye. outlaw losing all stealth shuffle and the tweaks to ass, i imagine only using it if i drop my mark
holy changes man. Sub is legit easier to play than BM hunter now and it's not even close. I'm 100% confident I could mythic raid with this playing with a DDR mat.
realistically no race is truly gamebreaking
I haven't been really following the betas and stuff but my god this is so boring
im pretty sure healers have a more complex and engaging DPS rotation than sub does now. This can't be it's final form man.
give me back dust
pretty much everything is 3 button ungaboonga
^ this
fuck man, I can't see myself spending 8-12 hours a week in prog hitting 2 buttons.
3
Mark no longer related to stealth
It is from garrote and from the enmity of blizzard entertainment class developers
Wait this means that classic vanilla rogue is legit harder to play than retail. All the dads with 8 full time jobs and 3 families that can only play 3 hours a month are going to migrate to retail now lol.
I mean sure the raids are harder but those people aren't going to prog mythic, they are going to sit in raid finder or normal pugs hitting their 3 buttons on retail rogue.
XD
At least in classic you had the option to use EA, rupture, and slice.
I mean its all just a joke but retail right now is so disappointing.
ngl rupture being gone is the least of my gripes
In classic you have legit five seconds between each button press to think about what to do next, it's not even close
Im ngl guys sub in tww had 5 buttons...
2 of which are tied to 2 other buttons its really not different
Symbols tied to dance, flag tied to sblades. Oh and we have rupture
Wow so diffy
there is complexity in certain talents, and a lot of knowlage about the game you can advantage of
main diff was the small nuances which we dont have anymore specific timings for stuff
the rotation became easier
but there is a decade long obfuscation of game mechanics and spaghetti code that was not reduced
Go play any other class for 1-3 weeks and come back to rogue when you realize the grass isn’t greener.
Yeah but now theres new nuances, landing apex on super charged coup/dn, canc el aura macros, striking at 7cp on 5sht etc
inherently, the funny part is
other classes being 2 buttons as well doens't make it better
will also be nuked
wow 2 would be a massive improvement for players
(X) doubt, maybe in 2 seasons
it did take them forever to make dn un-cancelaura'able
unintended gameplay gets smited very fast
Id prefer them make the apex work with sec tec or not consume before fixing unintended interactions
too much spaghetti unwinding for that
sub has only been the prog spec for the last like 5 years for rogue
still one of if not least played specs
not every tier tho
if you werent raiding at wr 1000k
then yes
you played sub
ever since sanctum
Whats funny is my M+ frost DK alt that I played on vibes just chilling is now significantly more complex than my rogue (unless they gutted it as well, haven't checked).
Spoiler. It’s not
I played sub every tier ^^
Arms maybe the most complex spec currently.
People not overreacting to the pruning: impossible
I’m just gonna enjoy the vibe and pray for some love to goremaws
shit ain’t worth getting upset over
brother people being annoyed at the possibliliity of hitting 3 buttons for 4 hours straight is not overreacting. It's a game. You are supposed to have fun playing it. Right now a league champion has more complexity than my MMO character. It's jarring.
removing cancelaura apex wont really fix it
you will cancelaura sht early instead
would be even harder to play well
i mean sub realistically was hitting the same few buttons
even in s3
once you understand it you kind of just autopilot the same few buttons
the button count isnt even whats important, though I do feel like one more button would be nice. moreso a lot more thinking and planning things than midnight1 sub
Insane take tbh. There was so many engines going behind the scenes for what you were doing it felt great. You cant take that away and not add anything else
yeah basically you had to think about decision making
but the actual button count of s3 was nothing impressive
it was over double what we have now. The number may not be crazy but halving your presses is significant.
well no symbols prune really does nothing
the prep ryldd mentioned being gone sucks
they want the game to be easier rotationally so, it is what it is
Maybe i'll become a streamer and be the first person to get CE playing sub rogue on my phone.
if you took baked symbols into dance and flag into sb last season
it would be been the same depth
TWW dance rotation was easier.
MN pre dance setup is easier.
Just have some fun.
Macroing symbols and dance together was bad and good rogues didnt do that.

good thing they baked supercharger into dance
the last time i fought a mythic boss in tww3 i think i manual pressed symbols like twice at most the entire fight
Controversial opinion: I like new sub rogue. It feels fun, powerful cd windows, and overall enjoyable.
the required macro was like 80-90% of the casts
bad rogue bad rogue whatcha gonna do
they forgor to change the buff tooltip 💀
Sir you’re going to ruin the narrative here
coup gcd is fun
if you prepped properly you would be forced to use the macro for even second dance in blades
so rarely did you press it manual
Almost as much fun as DSM
im a freak i play pretty much entirely without rotational macros
i just do shit manually
Yeah idk, so many buttons that we've lost were kinda meh
You should always send symbols before you ST including the second one you get in yoru first dance with good procs. Macroing them together was bad.
with tfd yes, without tfd dance ends and st is ready at same time
unless you were ludicrously fast you prob lost gcds
most of hte time you could yeah
ive checked alot of my logs and never missed em
gets rank one mythic parses, then called bad
the goat
Isn't it still cringe?
take that discord cult
I do enjoy people coming here expecting overwhelming support for their angst against the new 2 button spec. Little do they realize sub rogues the best group to take what little we are given and make the best of it.
My gcds were fine unless i was lagging
i miss symbols because of the times you pressed it independent of dance which made it interesting
as an extra button to press pretty much always with dance it was mid
i will say tho
ill 100% rather take midnight sub
over early DF sub
any day of the week
fck that shit
or SL sub
garbage ass design
I mean why even have extra buttons at all tbh. Having extra buttons is cringe. We should have 2 buttons. 1 that is called damage and one that is called defensive.
SL sub was so deadge I mentally blocked it out
For minor cleave boss fights (Dimensius as an example), is deathstalker or trickster coming out ahead?
Yeah i played sub for most of CN then swapped to outlaw and played that until the rework mid DF.
I agree with you I'm just nitpicking ngl, hopefully they add more things soon or we find optimizations that add a bit of juice to things
generally on prepatch DS does more dmg
mmm yes certainly

and by two weeks I mean since before christmas break
Tru
It'll melt off the bone
Goremaws change today
Banger
low key
im really excited for the upcoming frostfire mage changes
which we will have 30 lineso f
i miss when symbols was a real amp
and not glorified st buffer
that it was in s3
i think devourer DH needs some sort of reap proc off of consume casts
ye
managed to get 4 stars into 1 meta
hell yeah
do you usually send your reaps right after beam? I've been holding until just before beam is off cd again before sending it
can stay in meta super long
realistically anything is better than sl sub
most important is just to beam insta on cd
also feels like being able to spellqueue beam is kinda forgiving
bc there's def been times I should have been yeeted out of meta but can snipe a beam right before it does bc of spellqueue
from what ive been told as well, you dont wanna cast reap without the proc
pretty much ever
Oh yeah I don't
i still dig sub but i do think it is missing a je ne sais quoi. a little too lean? unsure. definitely not one of the people longing for rupture but 
esp since you never worry about voidfall overstacking bc you get beam enough with even decent haste
but would def like something to break up consume spam, however fast you get to with haste
i mean apex gives some thought
If before I was like 😀 now I'm like 🙂
Apex definitely makes it better, could probably still use some extra sauce but its fine
and yeah that's fair apex
Like in s2 its probably gonna be solid if we get an interesting tierset for example
But thats like 6+ months away so 
Idk I was lukewarm on devourer but after playing it and havoc a good amount the last few days I'm liking it as a main alt prospect
its satisfying to play
I really like a good burndown spec
the st rotation is kinda eh but I do like the melee component, wish it had a little bit more to it
i think it not having apex in prepatch is gonna ruin a lot of peoples perspective of it
its simple but its definitely decent fun
does apex really add that much though
i mean
you get a free collapsing star
its an entire extra star cast + 5 souls
insta start after reap on meta
or not on reap
press meta = +5 souls and insta star
bc isn't the big hangup for a lot of people that it takes a while to get into meta
well in the m+ build it does on single target
but that because you only have consume
ye true
guys if i have 6/7 cps and dance + sectec ready: first an evis or immediately dance and sectec? or doesnt matter?
Finish 6+ send Sectech to get on cd
supposed you also get the 10sec cdr on voidblade when you star
tierset inc
For pre patch do we tab target at all or just blast?
Guys, if SB is coming off cooldown and i'm holding my dance to double dance in SB windows, but sectech is off cooldown do i just hold the setech for the SB windows. or do i press then sectech without a dance?
Or does that depends on how long it is
u hold it all
iirc holding is a gain
Ty
is it possible to get platynator to show supercharged combo points?
Check with their discord
In platynator?
yea
For what use case ?
i put my combo points attatched to nameplates, but the ones on platy are all red
instead of turning blue sometimes when you have sccp
i think blizz's own resource display did it but doesnt anymore
I just track my cps on my own ressource bar
thats what i have to do rn
Didn’t know it was a thing to teach your combo points on nameplates
will akinator know my favorite rogue discord mods
i just tried and it cant guess whispyr so
Some people like it. Never made sense to me. Also not important to track empowered cps imo. You hit dance and sectech, then whatever.
It’s an oldhead thing from when combo points were tied to a specific enemy
Im pretty sure
Yeah classic andies
But like, having it in the middle is just way better, so if you can have that instead why wouldnt you?
Idk
So many people asking for it
I was definitely surprised by how many people apparently used it
But also, there’s never a reason to track supercharger
The only reason would be to know if youve pressed it prepull
Oh true
Is sub’s niche big snap aoe?
Yes
Question, do you ever send tech with 6 combo points or is better to spend and then dance into tech.
Whats the difference in prio damage between the hero talents? does DS have more with focus?
Singular is like 4% of your overall in a key
Does pretty decent prio in gigapulls like algethar
pure prio is probably quite close id imagine
Ive had singular be top dps on the tree boss
wthelly
Boss dam only
Feel like kinda meh tho
U lose a lot of eviscerate dam
But smallies need to die so idk
are you gaming DN here?
Ye
ambiguous question mb, are you avoiding it i meant*
Ive kinda come to the conclusion i prefer trickster in that key even tho ds seems logicslly better
Ye i do the hold dn shit when smallies come alive
Seems not worth lowkey
I think boss would die faster if i just played trickster and eviscersted and let others pad aoe
Or just played outlaw
yeah my only problem with outlaw on that boss
is that blade flurry puts me to 10 fps
gg
Haha ye rip
Once they fix storm proccing unseen on a random target yes
Until then probably not
Does sub require dagger oh? I know assa does but I thought BS only required mh. In a sub/outlaw off spec world is there any reason you couldn't do non dagger oh?
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
You lose a fuckton of your energy/combo points if you use anything else
Rip the outlaw easy off spec dream
BUT you can transmog swords on them now!
Which I freaking love
I do love the mog option for sure
with deathstalker do we use eviscerate every 3 finishers to reapply the mark in AOE? and if so is there any cut off? like with 20+ mobs its a waste to eviscerate over another bp etc
I see in the guide the the macro that has SD,SB and STech, but in the AoE rotation it has a Shadow strike before the ST?
But not in the single target.
Are we back to ignoring Clear the Witness on Sub?
Not much else to do about +50% storm damage
any knowers please help, do you lose your sht only after you cast the apex finisher
U lose em when ur bar refills after a finisher
nah aint no way

the mad lad was right! How could he have possibly known? 
yeah but what about this one #subtlety message
wait did wowhead post the wrong thing
this is the latest post https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/1201-midnight-beta-test-development-notes/2213807/11
They havent patched it yet im fairly sure
that only took the entire beta xdd
is fotm wow streamer going to rank us up in the tier list now
Its been fixed on live since like a day after prepatch 
Feeding us scraps we already ate hell yeah
im a bit confused about something : pre midnight the goal for sub was to stack %dmg buffs to build two sec techs during a flag window, which lasted ~20 sec so we were planning ~20sec ahead when we would burst
now it feels like we just .. press thing and ennemies die instantly, then we wait for 90 sec.
yeah burst is super front loaded, instead of having a ramp
and you have little agency over your cds other than basically pressing them when theyre up
right, I was feeling like I was missing something, ty
The fact that I didn't look for damage amp before sec tech is quite disturbing
I do dance, but it doesn't feel like i'm an assassin planning an murder, more like I have a nuke button at will which sometimes nukes stronger
yeah i preferred having flag because it kinda mentally prepared me to do the burst, im not quite used to just pressing a macro with all of your shit on it and instantly bursting
Yeah that as well, the goal was to unbloat and prune spells that were sent together
and now we just send all our spellbook in a macro
yeah
the change to blades means that consuming premed before activating isnt really important at all
like then it would feel a lot, dance->strike->blades-secret
instead of macro at max cp
maybe it would still be the macro for reasons but
idk
i felt like a lot of the effort that goes into preparing sub burst was really fun
now its just w/e hit ur buttons
Was there ever a consensus on sblades .5 after sec tec or just rip that shit raw?
was using it after an old optimization or something
In s3 it wasnt good because you almost always missed a global in blades because of it (since coup had longer gcd)
In midnight i dont really see a point either as youre probably not in dance for that last gcd anyway
So having blades on the initial sectech hit is prob more worthwhile
Yeah
i figured it was because some people seemed attached to it
Ah yes I have another question : currently when I blades, I struggle to fit 2 sec tech during blades : I have ~20% haste
Is this a stat issue ? like my laaaast gcd of dance finishes .5 sec before ST is available
Is the trinket haste + dance increase just a ping thing on beta? Like doesn't work unless I delay the dance a global or so
No, getting 2 sectechs during blades isnt something you should be expecting
It kinda only happens during BL
ok nice, I was affraid I was misplaying something
is it worth it to beg for pi
Nah
do it anyways just to piss off the others that want it
Iirc 2% or somethinf eleem was saying
embrace your inner rat
another priest to shaman Wednesday?
we're on a generational run
during lust do you want that 2nd sec tech to be supercharged or how likely is that to happen
I’m holding out cope for 
Did they accidently add back the delay on the trinket?

I figured it could be EU ping but idk
im gonna lose my mind
that would be tragically hilarious if they did that
stop spending until sec tech is up 😂
Nah just send it on cd
ok cool, and for this optimization whats going on here? Is this target count specific or just once per shadow dance or how does this work?
Yeah you def cant macro the trinket with dance
No to all of those
+1 button. Everyone rejoice
Literally everything about it is written there
If you can proc the apex, proc the apex
okay I just maybe dont know how the apex talents works then o7
it lets you squeeze an additional spender I guess
aaaaaaa
tyvm
ok you need to build to trigger apex, which lets you echo your finisher for 50% dmg
Btw, out of curiosity do Weaponmaster/Shuriken Tornado clones interact with apex 2?
They should
But they do not
Can I ask does it have to be shadowstrike? Can it be storm in aoe?
Ye was hitting dummy just now and couldn't seem to get it
So another bug
Idk i wouldnt worry too much about it, its probably getting nuked
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
kekw
Another question tho. Since we're playing Lethality, with Planned Exe + Finality 1/2 is crit not > vers? (for m+)
We actually have so much + crit dmg
In midnight vers is the last stat
But you shouldnt be playing planned execution in aoe either on the beta
Attack speed too good
Hmm. Is the sht gains rly worth the overall loss?
Yes getting 25% more sht is worth more than doing ~2.5% more damage
erm
hm
theres still hope 
what was the shadowblades change in 12.0.1? idk what value: 2100% means. the other changes looked like typo fixes
It now gives 100% more combo points instead of 2%
Ie it works instead of doing nothing
hahaha o ok ty
whats up with the cancel aura apex talent sectech thing ive been living under a rock
Tweaks is fucking up again I nearly threw my keyboard across the room
I just want weakauras back man
This shit sucks lol
Imma just peace out until midnight and then get annoyed with addons then too
Apex only replicates the physical hit of secret technique which is the weakest part so it’s better to cancelaura Ancient Arts than to consume with Sectech
oh ok
makes sense thanks
so i dont need a cancelaura ancient arts on its own keybind for any reason?
or are there times that could be useful
Can just macro to secret technique

wait wtf did stuff get changed again??
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
do we go trickster for any cleave that exists?
oh damn specs are being given stuff back
Oh really???
yeah my guildie just linked this to our hpal
Oh dang
Hollyyyyy cowwwww
That's absolutely wild
Bliz ready with the undo button
Do you hope they give us Rogues anything back? 🤔
i don't think we get back flag or symbols for sure
i could see them giving back rupture or a similar dot and then making us play around apex ruptures
highly doubt they return the spec to being 20 seconds of nuke
then afk
rupture would have been cool if it still gave sanguinary vein
Yeah I don't think anyone wants that
but the way it was "this does more damage over its course than spending the points on evis" is such a shit reason
speak for yourself 
Fair enough 😂
it's beta man
i don't think anyone cares about beta names
i've seen the most degen shit
Diddyplug is wild.
Is it possible to get 2 ST in a SB currently?
the entire hpal community hates it
damn that's rough
Maybe we get nightblade dot back
With some extra interactions that would be pretty good
bring back rupture
good morning lovely people
Go play
If you want rupture / dots
We’re supposed to be a “burst” spec. The more dot dmg you add, the less bursty the damage profile becomes.
bring back nightblade
honestly I really liked the Torghast talent that made Shadowstirke apply few secs of rupture
was kinda cute
but it would probably mean alt tabing if that was a thing so no thx 
I'd hate to be forced to alt tab during gameplay
oh
meant tab targeting lol
What type
Tbh I kinda liked the legion version, it was a hard hitting low duration dot that gave %dmg (if i remember correctly)
yes it was dmg amp
They could make it like If you have a target with nightblade up you deal %x dmg so we dont aoe dot
Yeah but they dont make our bursts harder they make our bursts happen more
Like dance uptime is what %40 or smt atm?
Bring back nightblade, limit to one like caustic spatter, we need buttons
and what would that do for you
We have some of the highest burst in mn. Everyone’s burst was lowered.
This feels like a cycle at this point
They linearize our dmg with uptime
Rework
Bursty spec
And linearize again with changes
Tbh I personally didnt think much about the dots but losing them feels weired atm, like i am missing something
uptime has always been important for sub, it was slightly less in s3 since our burst was hyper focused on 90 seconds and damage amps.
Prepatch sub and the amount of haste we have isn’t exactly indicative of beta gameplay
Maybe make nightblade a optinoal capstone instead of goremaws basicly a shadow dmg linear style and a burst one
Like a choice
Or just fix goremaws and remove the energy and get off dot fantasy island
we really don't have much synergy with dots
I get the desire for “we need another button lulz”. Fuck off with the maintenance bullshit dots.

Not having a single dot effect no matter how big/small it is feels like we are missing something
we didnt even have much synergy when rupture was still there
Rupture was useless just bloat imo wasnt even thematic
But nightblade was a dot that felt like sub to me
They can restrict us and make let only one up
Rupture sucked becouse we had to aoe dot
That and i loved the design behind the dot being low duration amd high dmg procs
Sure yeah
gimme an idea for synergys and i might consider 
Didn’t we just get rid of symbols? 
would lock us to a target again
nightblade had a damage increase attached to it
so it was more prep for burst tbh
Just for a button
hell yeah
I did say we can make it give us a buff as long as its active
Hi all, i am outlaw player but inam very interested about subtlety. How is he in term of gameplay and dynamisme please ?
at that point it is just rupture with madnatory upkeep buff tbh
Thx a lot
YES exactly
A direct damage 40-45 second cd that’s worth pressing (looking at you
) is the extra button that’s missing. Not a maintenance buff
I agree
get rid of Danse and replace it with blight
if you don’t want to deal with another button take blight & brew
choices
new ability that instantly makes Sectech usable.
idk
Just fuck off with the dots. 
Double sectech in dance poggies?
We need Death from Above back as a pve cd
aaaaaaaand overcooked
DfA was unfortunately a buggy mess
Death from tech
Sectech from below, the search for the missing clones.
@lilac stag Dont understand your point, it's boring?
so it gets buggy because of pet + because of clones
@snow rune I enjoy it
A big new finisher around shadow shurikens
Everything in this game got simpler. Rogue still has some thinking to it, while just being a vibe
We don’t talk about DS
and the fact how much i got parried last raid night
Haha
the first times i just thought i somehow got refunds 
but remembered they are not here anymore till apex
I have to imagine most specs get some addition flavor come s2 in 6 months once Blizzard is done beta testing raid / addon mechanics and success / failure of gameplay overall
It feels good and easy to play. No more ramp-up, instant damage, very quick auto attacks with Haste. You should give it a try !
But IMO we need something more to press, and no dots.
agreed
Is the same thing every time. they strip it all away (because the foundation is weak) and then add a bunch of crap back which makes it either better or worse 
We've been there a lot of times
apparently some of us have not 
Way better spot now than when we were going into bfa or shadowlands
bfa 
wod->legion was very very bad
also bfa was a bit sad in that they made all the wrong choices with azerite
made a banger azerite then buffed it
then changed it to some bs
and general tuning being low
which one are you referring to ?
first dance
first iteration was a bit weak seond one was super good
then they decided to krangle it up
and make it some haste bs
bfa sub was kinda fun problem was tuning was very low so it "felt" bad
I think this was every spec. WoD still looked back at as some of the best overall spec design
nv made it somewhat fun
what is nv? 
basically a spell which gave you the oppotunity to use rupture in a specific way to create burst damage

ive done some thinking dont bring rupture back
Yes. On prepatch not so much.
And on beta?
less thinking pls
it feels so empty without it ;-;
Yes. Was the beta part of the answer
Arf, nothing to press or.hold for generate ressources ?
You have generators to press ofc
can we make a rupture command which would link to the assa channel ? 
Guys, if i wanted to check on logs. if i'm pressing enough in my dance windows. how globals does a dance window fit? like whats the max
Just try the spec out? It’s rogue. It’s builder spenders with short cds (dance and Sectech).
depends on your haste 
Depends on haste
damn. so how can i check if i'm doing it properly or not?
last night was a vibe btw scath 
Look at the length of dance and count casts / see if you can get another in
So if the dance is lets say 8 seconds. how much cast would i need to get in?
1 second gcd class
You’re good
Does that remove one cast from it? because of the 1.2?
Because you end on 7.2 if 8 second dance
Trying to sneak the casts in is why we Sectech first and yes if trickster you have to compute coup
Most people playing DS in raid so my bad on assuming that
Hi guys, never played Sub before and looking for the spec for midnight. I have some random noob questions - first is why do i read that Deathstalker is better for m+ as from i understand deathstalker mark seems designed for single target?
They’re about the same on beta
Is there a world where we can be in perma shadow dance, or not?
we are already dancing a lot
Dance with me baby
xD
So for a noob, do we agree that basically the basics are : Dance on CD, ST on CD with 6+ combos, pair SD with Shadow blades when its up, and otherwise Shuriken storm / Black powder in AOE, Backstab/eviscerate in single target?
you sync dance with sectech because you want to supercharge that
Ok i wasnt familiar with this : if i understand well it makes even more damage on ST with the supercharge buff, is that correct?
And, do i need to build 6+ combo points before getting into dance so i dance+ST immediately?
0 cp or 6+ cp going into dance
With supercharge your next two finishers are stronger so you want to supercharge those. and you supercharge them by pressing dance. so your sectech should be first or second finisher
@digital cloud if you haven’t #subtlety-faq
I did but it makes more sense when asking people with my own words haha
Good morning guys. I have 2 quick questions regarding sub rotation. so I noticed it's advised to use SD while on low cp (1 or less) but since we have sd + st macroed together is this a net loss in dmg? would it be a gain to use sd with lowcp in comparison to go for 6cp before sd to sd + st ? I hope the question makes sense for u.
And second one is regarding vanish? We just vanish on cd while we have our sd downtime, or am I wrong on this one?
Do we use rupture ?
we dont have rupture
No more? Snifff
if you dont have 6+ CPs, don't use the macro
yes
also flagellation, shuriken tornado, cold blood and symbols of death (and tea if we are honest)
So is rogue perfect nowv
Since i look at notes every week and there’s never any updates
best iteration of the game, lovely gameplay loop, with a lot of depth and skill expression so people are all happy
Bugfixes are rarely displayed in notes
same with addons, the addon api is perfect
Wow nice
i should have added /s to everything ^^
that wasn't exactly the question. My point is if it is a gain if we use sd with low cp before we use st cus of the advice to use sd with low cp
Perfectly crap yeah 
the problem currently is:
- bugs
- apex design
essentially, you get ressoruce flooded, which means we put damage > ressource economy
leads to gameplay like ignoring shadowcraft procs (kinda)
or cancleaura macros
but i don't think blizz wants both in a gameplay loop, so wouldn't be surprised if apex was changed/reworked a bit
simplified:
If you have low cps use strike or storm as first global in dance, It will give you full cps because of premed
Thats why its recommended either with full CPs into sectech or low CPs into builder
low cp is typically a bit better, but you can in general use both on low and high cp
the main reason to use secret first gcd is to not lose out on casts
so you can macro secret + dance and use that to get your first gcd asap
storm first gcd is a bit diffrent
it is in general worse than strike
Could you guys explain how we play around Shadow techniques to a noob please? 😄
thats the not so simplified version
because we get often only marginal longer dance from haste
using storm + dance in a macro can give you just enough time to fit every gcd
now you might ask yourself
How long are the dances with the 40% haste on beta atm?
🤔 but why don't we macro strike
because it doesnt work
thats, because its not possible anymore, it was in the past but was changed at some point

sadge
by that logic
it is in a sense a design problem
well either that
if sec tech is off cd
or storm
You’re trying to maximize casts in dance. So sectech can be cast immediately in dance, strike cannot. If you miss a cast because of coup gcd it’s a loss if an ability while in dance. Your haste levels will impact this.
for to not lose out on casts
because losing the gcd is way more costly
to mention this too
technically, you won't alwys have these tight haste values
ok - followup question would lowering sqw make any difference?
so its not always "best" to use the macro
you want to cast back to back
so your spell queue should be as high as possible
not low
lower spell queue = higher possibility to introduce delays
as a reminder. Simple 2 button spec. 
but muh rupture
😠 4 button spec
gotchu - ty for answering my questions guys!
7 or 8
Goremaw S2 tier set giving us 8.
If you want to macro everything and complain about buttons be my guest.
2 builders, 2 spenders, 3 CDs. +1 goremaws
keeping blades seperate too?
@vale pine arf...
mentioned 
Those are literally the base spells. What you want to macro is entirely up to you.
i have the most things seperate
i mean, i have blades seperate
but i do like piano
strike/bs (1), storm(2), secret(3), evis(4), bp(5), dance(6), blades(7) i guesss
can also seperate strike/bs
to add +1
even pot and trinket
and jump
ye
thats already a bit F
But if you use the macro with sectec in it. you always make sure you go max CP right. otherwise you screwed
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
6 is fine too
i want this
I see people complaining about buttons a lot
just make Strike our only generator and Evis does splash damage, surely we happy now?
a and d are dps buttons, right?
yeah i meant 6+
2 button spec
people want 1 button with everything macroed and a second button with rupture

it seems
Gnome Sequencer approach
dont we have one button rotation? 😄
We also want FW independent of a target, and an ability to debuff a specific target. 
Guys is there a way to have one button for Shadowstrike / Backstab depending on stealth./not stealth?
Yeah there is a macro on wowhead
wait i thought rupture isnt a thing anymore for sub
my man
I'm being sarcastic
because every 5 minutes someone comes in here and complains about missing rupture
They don’t have the last 2 hours of us being good soldiers
lmaoo
rupture? I never even met her
Thank gods for my insomnia tonight
if people want rupture they should go play assassin fr, theyll be pressing rupture like nuts
Well. Maybe they’re salty at more CT presses
I think we should also get another bleed ability that becomes empowered from stealth and then AoE spell to spread those bleeds
Could someone explain to a noob how to play around shadow techniques please?
shadow technique aint secret technique tho
oh fuk i read that wrongly
Yeah shadow techniques passive hehe
my bad
no problem sir
well fw/fazed is diffrent from rupture
one is a dot you can optimize around
the other thing is a debuff you have limited control over
NB is the context
btw is there a limit on how many targets black powder hits? ive never actually seen it
both 
Wat
Hold on a minute ain’t arrow keys on the right side on the keyboard

depends how you turn the keyboard
You move keeb full left of desk

Is the kb upside down
Actually real
4 button spec anyweay
or that
keybord turning XD
its the funniest wow thing in existence
True
We dont use slice and dice in deathstalker? I might be blind but i dont see any interaction
atleast a 30sec maintenance right ? 
it applies
auto
when u use evis

thanks sir
it was another memery
it’s fun how you can shoot down changes with other changes that were good
in aoe situations should i still use eviscerate to have the buff? it doesnt seem that BP applies S&D
Generally speaking you’ll have it running going into packs in m+. You can always fire off an evis to pop it off outside of dance or at lower target counts
Alright i get it, basically you'll never find yourself ina situation where you simply Shurkien / BP without having already S&D rolling
@vale pine if you had like really high haste how long is dance on beta?
Have to wait for actual release to figure out where/when it would be worth just to force an evic
And sorry to ask again but if someone could reply to me about the Shadow technique passive, i'd appreciate it ❤️
also as Trickster you'll press your Coup and as deathstalker your darkest night if you need/want prio
which will also give/extend s&d
very clear ty
This should be before diminishing returns. I think the 5+ numbers has to get rerun
4 maybe off as well. I forgot what Eleem mentioned
You’re not necessarily looking at dance as a time, you’re looking at it as how many gcds can I fit.
we already have a lot of haste in pre patch, will likely have less in midnight
That little?
oh thought it woulda bveen more
heyo, havent played sub in a while, with how many targets we press shuriken storm and blkack as trickster?
ty
Yeah but 1564 haste in the picture you send and 37% is 438 haste. then you wouldnt even get a second global in dance? or am i seeing that wrong
me with my 13% haste
2+ you storm + bp.
on 2 you keep using strike in dance but 3 or more also storm
You’d get 1 extra global. Keep in mind we’re are in end of expansion gear at max level.
yeah. i get that
ah but that is gonna be a lot less when we get gear in midnight
i hate that emoticon

hahaha but sure bud sound so sarcastic to me lol
I ignore the labels 
🖕

so um... are you guys enjoying sub in prepatch?
because honestly, I thought I was excited for the changes and I generally like less bloating but
feels so fucking boring and the wpvp experiences I had were so miserablew
i don't, it makes me sad
Shadowstrike and Secret Technique being 2 out of 3 CORE abilities now and sharing the exact same animation
looks so repetitive and visually BORING, jesus fuck
yeah it's literally 3 button now
