Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
went to a store to buy white monster for midnight and they had none, had to get the gay one instead
gg
what is the difference between white and og monster flavor?
idk i didn't taste the og one in like over a decade but when i did it was shit
that's all i remember
I can only drink the og monster flavor, alergic to that shit they put in the zero sugar stuff
Just get yourself some of these bad boys
hello, are there beta sims as well? (was wondering how good/bad 2p/4p are for each spec)
idk what this helps you
to be fair
well the guy that does the loot stuff in my guild wanted to know how good rogue set is. just to know who most likely gets sets first. and since i dont know and dont really care (who cares about loot anyways) i couldnt answer
Just curious, are there any rogue (or specifically sub) content creators who’ve made video guides on sub in midnight? I just love to accompany text guides with video so that i can see how something ‘should’ work
did your officer play dragonflight?
yes
sorry, i mean the war within
also yes
gonna wait for ulria's spreadsheet then
whats the input
(whenever u get a chance)
#midnight
copy="2p"
set_bonus=midnight_season_1_4pc=0
copy="0p"
set_bonus=midnight_season_1_2pc=0```
the reason i asked was
ty
How so? Does catalyst open earlier?
you now typically plan in a way that every raider gets tier 2nd week
so 2nd heroic clear, everyone should have the tier set bonus completed w/e
Yeah everyone basically has a 2 set
Also, @vale pine I’ve just come back to sub rogue after a long hiatus and wanted to say ty for the guide writing it’s been great
thanks 
yeah i knew that (so did he i believe). thats why i dont really care about loot (or at least tier)
Damn my guild is just me and 4 dudes and none of them raid 😭
na ofc not. thanks a bunch 🙂
unlucky
erm i have a complaint 🤓 because the guide is faulty, i started playing sub like yesterday and im not parsing 100 its gotta be the guides fault
Hahahaha
tWo BuTtOn RoTaTiOn 
ah thanks, also another complaint i have about the guide is why am i not top dps in every raid and dungeon?
skill issue
😭 my bar setup for testing on beta
could macro secret to dance
and make it even less
I was reading the midnight bugs and there is one about sec tech and apex talents only buffing the physical portion, may seem a dumb question but is this actually a bug or intended?
If a bug and fixed would this be a huge net buff?
potentially intended
i hope they revert some pruning in tlt. rogue feels so bad imo.
as much as i meme about it it feels like sub is maybe missing a button (not saying it is rupture per se). But on the whole I still have about as much fun playing sub as I did before. And I was initially very skeptical!
if the person playing would not assume something to work in a specific way
it is probably a bug
i can give you one example
That makes a lot of sense
if you press stealth
you go into stealth
thats kinda obviouse
but if you use dance
and then try to go stealth
you can't
yo dont we need haste? playing on beta with low haste and feels ass
yes, roughly around 18%
^ now why is that so?
Single Target:
Agility (Item level) > Haste (~35%) >= Vers >= Mastery = Crit
Mythic+:
Agility (Item level) > Mastery => Vers > Crit > Haste (~15%)
it is because, in legion, we found out that you can protect stealth with shadow dance
protecting means, stealth does not break while dance is up
this is not super impactful in pve
but in pvp
Even if u go with more haste u still dont do much more than with more mastery
that seems pretty great to me
for us ye
can we have legion sub again
for the health of pvp, no
Legion sub was the best
so blizz had two options
hence "can we have legion sub again"
number 1: dig into the code and figure out why stealth is protected and re-write the code so it would not be
number 2: disallow you to cast stealth when shadow dance is up
so it took the 2nd one
but that did just mean
pvpers did use vanish
because vanish applies stealth
what should i aim for as haste stat ? crafts?
so then they made it so vanish does not apply stealth during the improved stealth phase
but it does so after 3 sec when improved drops
Thanks fuu, that makes sense
Exactly, but yeah its fun
to fix this
they made it so that applying stealth removes shadow dance
so if you use dance + vanish
and wait for 3 sec
dance gets cancled
to get to the point
we know why it works that way now
is it a bug?
if I wanna focus on one hero talent I just play trickster right now, is that correct
yes
ok ty 
Could I ask a really noob question?
I’ve noticed in dance that energy regenerates a hell of a lot faster, is this a talent? Is this also why you use vanish when at low combo points? I don’t fully understand why we would vanish
we would not use vanish in dance ^^
vanish in general is just a filler spell
Master of Shadows (Talent), Shadow Techniques (Passive, in spell book)+Shadowcraft(Talent)
we use to cast a shadowstrike
your energy generation is increased in dance by all what eleem mentioned
and apex talents
Ohhhhhhhh
once we reach max level/unlock them
Thanks guys!!
So you would vanish and shadowstrike to get max cp
Would this only work in an st scenario?
Assumed as much, I just wanted to check because it’s there in the guide in the Aoe section too
nvm found the faq
I find it a lot better to follow the guide but also understand why I’m doing it situationally
have i finally found my kind of people 😭
Bloody hell thanks fuu you’ve been a great help!
so basically:
- Sht (gives energy every 3rd or 4th auto attack)
- shadowcraft (makes it every 2nd or 3rd auto attack and generate more energy/cp during dance)
- warning sight (more attack speed during dance)
- master of shadows (10 energy every sec for 3 sec after using dance)
- apex adds extra shadow technique procs
if you want to make it easier for yourself in aoe
you can make a macro for coup + black powder
less buttons ^^
Never played sub before, but the rotation feels fun on beta. I only need to figure out when i need to stop using shadow dance so, I have two cooldowns ready for shadowblade
(its just
/cast Black Powder``` )
That one I’ve already done!
oops, fixed
If the cd is at or within 10 secs you hold dance and sec tech
you basically look at your secret cd:
Is secret up?
- send dance with secret
outside of that you want to send 2 dances back to back during blades
and if blades is about to come up, you wait to use dance + secret when its ready.
^ the last is the 10 sec vynari mentioned
yo the bug with secret tech and apex 3 hasnt been fixed yet right? so we still cancel aura macro anceint arts on secret tech or what?
i thought the apex was a pretty big chunk thats why u always proc it in dance even at full cp no?
Yes it does way less than it should, but because you have superchargers on it the damage isnt drastically different than eviscerate
And if you cancel you sometimes end up with too many shts at the end of dance
Because you couldnt spend them fast enough
So like you can cancel if you want to, but simcraft says its like +-0 to do it
yea i guess this'd be very common when holding aswell
So why bother
yea to be honest i wanted to ask cos i wanted someone smarter to tell me the math
thanks again brother <3
Also in big aoe its actually benefitial to not cancel it
wait really?
Because target scaling math
I know this is all situational, but should my dmg breakdown look like this? I am in a raid and the other rogue has like double my evis damage but not nearly as much sec tech damage
Just trying to make sure im playing this right
AoE clones do 50% of the initial hit, just like sectech clones themselves
But then its missing the softcap yes
ok yea thats probs why
since we are here i wanna ask 1 more thing
its a dps increase to ss at full cp in dance to reproc apex in ST and its the same in aoe correct?
like u storm again to reproc it
or is it worse?
Its on low targets, not in aoe
A log would help but it could just be stat differences and crit variance.
Could also be he presses evis more than you. Too many variables to know without a log comparison
Yes
thanks man ur the 🐐
Ye storm does piss damage, strike does comparable damage in ST
OHH okay that makes alot of sense
the ss damage offsets the loss of combopoints
but storm doesnt
LMFAO
Im assuming this is trickster hero talents?
potent powder? no its in spec
Does sht only affect the amount of cp your builders generate or does it affect damage done by spenders?
I swear I thought it was so simple but there’s so many little intricacies
Its just combo points until apex talent where you proc and it summons clones that duplicate whatever procced them
So if u strike and get 2 sht consumed to fill bar, your strike can get doubled at 50%
yo char im guessing ur progging sub unless heroic week has some diabolical tuning for assa right?
If you have 10 sht, and strike, it empowers your next finisher to eat them and duplicate and refill your cp
Probably maybe i whip out the law for fun
Heroic week w.e
Assa tuning is quite down bad atm
Or if u mean after heroic week idk it highly depends
Sub is plan for the moment
Do you actively play around that? Or is it just a passive thing for the most part?
Well he responded to me, he is at 24% haste and imn at 7
sounds good just wanted to steal someone's homework
heroic week tuning might change everything anyway
The finisher part is something you can minmax for .5%
But u can just full send without much loss, and messing up the minmax is worse than zugzug
Ye probs more shadow dance uptime = more eviserates in dancr
Thank you
Thanks everyone for your help, what a ripper community!
That could work
ok, im a bit lost in the short hand here. sht comes from what talent.
im a bit confused so I am just trying to be clear, im coming back to rogue after a long break and I would like to understand it thoroughly so I can minmax with practice..
its baseline not really a talent
oh ok, I was pooring through the talent tree thinking I was out to lunch
so basically the the extra blue CP when we store it?
in your heart u know the answer is never outlaw
no thats from a talent
supercharger
bottom centre on cals talent
shadow techniques appears as a buff with a counter on it and doesnt get displayed in the regular combo point UI
oh which counts to 15
guys, isn't Coup de Grace a passive? why the macro with Black Powder?
coupe isnt a passive it repalces evis
and its so u press 1 finsiher
its for the sake of simplicity and pressing only 1 button in aoe
well 1 finisher button
is being able to put 2 GCD abilities in a macro new for midnight, or just a funny way of how coup works
funny coup way im gonna assume 
ooohhh I get it, tyty
its an excelption because of coup being a proc effect
spicy
I’m thankful for the coup/bp macro because without it I’d have to press more than 3 buttons and if I press more than 3 buttons I cry blood like a demonized virgin mary statue
how this talent (potent powder) works?
50/50 on whether clones end up doing like 2x the damage theyre supposed to come release too
Since weaponmaster clones on prepatch still do
But on beta they dont

how does sub feel in raid for midnight
like sub
appreciated
No problem! do you want to elaborate on your question?
good
Hey guys did we get any undocumented bug fixes recently?
a few
so quick question, regardless of the situation do we want to have Shuriken storm macro to our base dance. do to the delay with SS now. like for instant max cp's even in ST? Or is that wasting to much energy.
you can make it easy for yourself
in the opener just vanish-strike before dance
and after the opener, you use dance on finishing cps
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
with the secret + dance macro
oh yea i was very curious why u didnt put that as the default opener on the wowhead guide
any reasons?
i think its alot safer so u dont lose some dance uptime specially if u dont have alot of leeway on dance duration early its just better to use the tech-dance macro and vanish is a very good way to cap cps
the main reason to do so would be to be able to use the macro always
so unsure if thats enough to suggest it as default
also depending you might need vanish in other areas, like pvp.
can be used for mechanical cheeses too
the big blades macro, can you also incorp sec tech in that or does it conflict with the on use things.
just like mom used to make
⚙️ 🧀
looking at this without the context above I thought this was something very different
Yes it is
This is clean I may need to get back on atrocity hi
why do you track backstab? to see gcd?
whats the macros for, am i intin if i got seperate keybinds still in 2026
i have a bind for naked dance a bind for dance shadowstrike that i spam when i press dance in rotation 
!macro
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
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
we are so tight in gcds that every 0.2 secs counts
to not lose dmg
even more with coup krangling 0.2 from us too
hmm ok ok but im so used to it..
so you have the dance+sec tech macro
i will try to macro the dance sec tech
i happened to put them on buttons i can press at the same time
Is it oke to macro shadow dance > shadow blades > secret technique?
As long I get my combo points up before pressing it
people with hours on beta...do you find the new sub rotation gets boring?
in raid or M plus?
good point - i was asking about m+ but curious about raid as well
M plus on my part felt kind of bland as sub
that was my concern
was hoping the on demand dmg aspect of dance kept it fun but the rotation is very bland..i feel like if it kept rupture it would be good
not sure if it will be enough to keep me engaged all season :S
i miss rupture personally
raid more engaging?
wow already has a very seasonal model
so there is potential that this is intentional
nvr thought of that
i just assumed it was to get players and/or newer players comfortable into a class they are not normally comfortable playing
lower the barrier to entry
i feel that using the burst windows in raid was satisfying and fun
i think if you want to be engaged long term now you have to play alts, just cause it is so easy to keep up with multiple specs
the storm and black powder spam was just not that fun I found, personally
or diffrent game modes
wow is very good in keeping old xpacs around
so you can always hop between releases
Why do we automate Coup de Grace with Black Powder in a macro just for AoE? DOes it make sense to automate it also with Eviscerate?
because you can cast coup and have it flurry
the button automatically changes from evis to coup
evisc can't
ok easy
so tomarrow I only use shadow dance once my Shit is 10?
why would you do this when you're normally in stealth on boss pull anyway?
snd
basically
you by default would
strike-evi
dance-strike
but because people use a macro with dance + secret
apex rotation
you either need to modify that macro
or have a 2nd dance bind/macro
using vanish would remove this need
you can just vanish-strike
theoretically you can't st at 0cp so it should still work
and then dance + secret with the macro
Wait so it's better to Stealth -> strike -> evisc -> vanish -> strike -> Dance/blades/Sectec macro?
So the optimisation is just about getting SnD up quick?
It doesnt really matter
otherwise you'd just stealth->strike->macro
how much dps that gives
Some fights will force u to do fast opener
I mean it clearly matters if fuu is suggesting doing it no? all these little nuances add up and make a difference in the big picture
None
well like I said, there are fights where doing slow opener ruins your CDs for when a fight needs damage
im just trying to figure out how to change rotation or what new addons to get for the apex
to maybe i need make sht bar using arcui?
Like queen ansurek for example if u did slow opener u didnt have them for web spawns
So it wasn't "better"
Its not better in sims either
If it's not better in sims why is it being suggested?

ocd
@vale pine ?

its still better with pre-disorient right?
Njet
hmg
is there a s1 rotatino guide
Multiple, yes.
i think it is still pre patch guide and you dont play around it in prepatch
They're all very good. Just have a read of them, read the abilities in-game, hit some dummies. Simple, solved, easy.
uhh
which one menetions sht
subtlety-faq mentions it
whats the question?
you can alter the opener without losing damage
as long as you don't start to delay stuff too long
so it does not matter if you strike-evis-dance or strike-evis-vanish-strike-dance
actually i am wrong it mentions it in advanced tips
but as guy mentioned, vanish can have some utility uses
you might want to use it to cheese mechanics
or have an additional gap closer
I guess with that said, the question is why would you strike-evis-vanish-strike-dance if you can just strike-evis-dance? OR even strike-blades macro? or is that last one a big dps loss? @vale pine
for convinience
If the first two are equal in dps it feels like a waste of vanish? and if all 3 are equal then its just delaying cds coming back
basically its like this
The most convenient opener is just strike into blades macro?
deepening shadow can introduce dance lenghs
where its hard to hit the last global
so you can use a macro
as trickster, we typically use a macro with secret + dance
given that we already want to start dance with high combo points
this is where the problem comes in
you would want to use a 2nd macro for dance + strike or dance + storm now in the opener
to be fast
vanish-strike allows you to just use the same macro
so you gain convinience
ofc it might not be that big of a deal
Okay i get that, and i may just be stupid, but i still don't understand if you're talking about the opener only, why do you need to vanish strike? You can just strike from stealth and have max combo points from premed and then go into your macro?
or is it literally only to get SnD up pre dance?
lets recap the opener
you strike from stealth
strike generates full combo points via premeditation
so you use evis to get slice and dice up
after that, you start shadow dance
but you are on low combo points, so you can't use secret immidiatly
so you need to use shadowstrike
yea so you use the dance+storm macro
every time you use dance after
you don't need to use dance asap
you are more dynamic
e.g. by not using a finisher for a few secounds before secret comes up
you can get some sht stacks build up
and immidiatly use dance + secret as soon as it comes up
this means, the problematic of needing to use shadow strike (or shuriken storm) as first builder
only ever happens once at the start of the fight
and using vanish-strike can bridge the gap and change it to dance-secret
i'll add a dumb question: when it's your second dance in blades do you try to time it manually, use a macro or does it even make any difference?
you just use dance back to back
ok but you need a bind without macro for that right?
Okay i think i get you, thanks for taking the time to write that up. I wasn't valuing how much of a dps increase it is to get SnD up before the first dance
i think that depends on your combo point state, in dance you're either full or 0, so you would either storm macro or sectec macro
i'll rephrase: depending on haste can ever happen that you get st up before first dance is over and risk firing it off without supercharger when you chain dances?
or if your sectec is on CD then your dance sectec macro will onyl dance
if you chain dance you get another set of supercharger
so if your macro is dance+sectec it will always be supercharged
but if you use a macro you could fire st before the second dance goes off
why? unless you're spamming your dance macro before your dance has ended?
if you press the button before first dance is over and st is off cd, you would cast st with no second dance
Sorry for my peanut brain, but whats ”sht” short for?
shadow techniques
yea so just wait for your dance to end?
Since you can’t spell queue when dance is still up and have any cp if you’re spamming that macro it will send Sectech if it’s off cd
well trying to time it well you could fuck up
The only solution to that is to have a separate bind for dance, which is fine
unless you can stance conditional macro
Which you should have
i don 't know if its even possible depending on haste tho
but i don't know if that's been stopped
A naked dance bind
Trying to over-engineer macros is just going to make things messier
Yeah i'm not suggesting do that
i have a naked dance, dance+sectec, dance+storm and the blades macro
not ultra gold pineapple = PASS!!!
🤨
I've never tried monster. That trap won't work on me.
Mhm I don’t rlly get how I can always have 2 dance in SB. Even if I hold it if SB is like 10sec away I end up with only 1 dance sometimes
hold longer
hold blades
we're casting 2 sectech in blades as well right? just only one that is superchaged
not missing much
if you have the haste for it
So we rather hold blades for a bit then start holding dance earlier?
It gets kinda weird bc Sectech cd is weird
k
What did I miss? Are we in 2 button meme area?
how exactly should i understand this?
i go into dance with sectec as my first finisher
strike for (in this case) full cp and see i have 5+ sht stacks
I strike again
do i continue striking or do i use evis after that strike?
Its supposed to be "not up"
so i strike, have 5+ sht stacks + full cp after and no ancient arts i strike again before evis
Thats never gonna happen
If you have 5+ sht stacks after you strike
You already have the apex
Its literally just this: #subtlety message
Not this time surprisingly lol
I think it’s if you have apex -> evisc -> 5 sht? Strike -> evisc for another apex proc
i kinda dont get it xd
what exactly needs to happen to use another shadowstrike
surely im overcomplicating things but i dont get the logic behind this
Read through the apex again
Your apex will proc if you meet the following condition: you have reached max combo points with a builder AND you have 5 sht leftover
Yes and how do you get it
i use evis when the apex is up and get the cp refund
How do you get the proc
if i strike and have 5+ sht stacks after
Yes
So what do you think happens after that
so in short in dance
I strike, if i have the proc i just evis
if i dont have the proc i strike again to get the proc?
If you would get the proc when you strike yes
okay i get it now
thanks <3
Should you go out of your way to let SHT build up to allow you to proc the apex? or do you just let it natty occur?
It is legit rotational complexity since ur reacting and tracking your sht buff i hope it stays lowkey. Youre not guaranteed to strike evis strike evis
I dont think theres any sht related pooling anymore now that apex 2 is fixed
Cool, what was the fix?
at one point i swear i read you're gonna have to cancelaura the apex, is that gone now?
Your apex and sectec clones werent giving correct sht back
At first none, then later only 1 per hit in dance. Now its fully fixed and giving 2 per clone during dance
Due to shadowcraft talent
okay cool
yes
So we won’t cancel any apex proc now ,right?
If it’s meta it’s getting nerfed. This is the way!
Technically you might in big aoe with Deathstalker
From my understanding of how Ancient Arts works it is going to always proc with shuriken storm in aoe situations seeing that will most likely always get more than 6 sht? Then you can use the proc on Black Powder?
You wont always have more than 5 sht stacks
Quick question, do i need a hotkey for Thistle Tea for min max or just use it automatically?
But the "use strike at full cp" thing discussed above is ST only
You’re never taking tea as a talent.
(or well like 2-3 targets too, but not in big aoe)
Got it so change everything discussed from ss to st in aoe and evis to bp
Got it. Thank you!
am i coping thinking i can play without that sectech dance macro bro i swear i press em at the same time 
this isn’t 10 years ago hitter
my professional™ opinion is that very very few people can hit the buttons together fast enough and consistent enough for it not to be worth just getting used to a macro
You can just replace your regular dance with this one so you dont really even need a new bind
It and assa are both in a very dangerous position where theyre both good in m+ for different reasons but will have god awful st in raid leading to what could be an st buff (the current reason both specs werent beta meta) and dominance for us yellow classes
When you want to dance during blades but sectech isnt up, you can just hit it anyway, it will still cast dance
But only if blue man good
If blue man bad
Then dark skies ahead
Tbf if you got some giga melee boys you can always force a resto sham in there
Unless its atrocious, but most of the time even the "bad" specs are still fine enough
Maybe if they buff rshams rot healing but i think rsham cant heal past 18s and some 19s
There is so much rot next season
And thats rshams weakness historically
What could end up happening is brew rdruid rogue ele devour
Was already decent, just not warlock
Or mage
Or bear hpal hehe
Im getting the vibe that next season is gonna be much more similar to tww s2, where you want 2 overall machines and a prio class
Unlike s3
There is just so much aoe with 1 prio in these keys constantly
sorry I don’t understand
Cancelaura apex dn
🫡
what about when i wanna shadowdance storm bro and i have 1 cp i cant just use the macro!!
i cant replace my solo dance button 
You can make another macro, or you can just not enter dance at low cp
no nooo i wont
i see what about in aoe tho hmm anything is possible
I put sec tec dance onto my old coldblood bind and kept natty dance and put storm dance whrre symbols was
why as trickster specifically?
Need a pocket shaman though no?
The question is rather why deathstalker does not want it. More finishers in dance seems good
Assa doesnt
Replace your CB Sectec macro with dance Sectech
real and true as fuck
wait do we ever press sectech outside of dance
im bad at visualizing my class when im not playing the game dont.. flame me..
If youre playing 700 haste you send a sex tec at 19 seconds of sblades, whether that is during a dance you held for that period of blades is up to you
we may use bp in ST when pick potent powder and danse, right?
You can if you want to
Ive been doing some weird stuff in aoe lately, ive been doing dance storm apex coup sec tec. Seems insanely strong
But its minor enough that simc dont consider it a gain
I wonder if proccing apex coup no matter what is worth now
Wait, i thought sectec>coup in prio
Im rambling outloud dont mind me
The logic goes, sec tec 2 seconds off cd, dance storm (1 sec till sec tec) apex coup (sec tec ready) sec tec
Probably, i checked a while back if canceling coup apex was worthwhile for more bp but it seemed kinda whatever
But now that it actually does aoe
Ive also been holding coup at >10 seconds before sec tec
Its presumably very strong
forcing da robot to do this sort of thing was neutral/0.1% gain back when all the bugs were still in place
maybe better now
*in st
Yeh in st it shouldnt matter
But if apex coup flurries its like a 2 for 1 special at AoE&W
just do dance/sectec -> shiv -> coup ofc 
Yeah lets get shiv back into the box bud

I just like panda
i can respect panda
Used to be panda before big meta forced me to swap
the race sim fuu posted didnt have panda high
just not implemented right?
or because of haste food
what sim?
swapped night elf for levelling cause questing with an extra vanish is cushty, then back to void elf just cause I like the flashy things you can do with the tp
for m+ raiding and pvp at max level
my rogue is a raid guy so i ignore dwarf/nelf unless theyre big damage
Common velf w
i think orc will be good
sneakiest panda ever
Realistically it doesnt matter
Unless you play undead or vulpera theyre all within like 0.5%
I played forsaken until tww
i only care about raid but i also love the way dwarf look like with the mop cm gear
also troll..
The past 2 expansions the food buff has been horrendously undertuned so panda have sucked, so ive had to endure dwarf or orc
just be human as it becomes better
Fear my quaking palm
that's what my 100 human glamours are for
2 min cd gauge
Does the panda fall damage reduction stack with the rogue passive one? some funny world pvp clip potential there 
kungfu panda if he trained under an assassin/ninja
oooh you only take 25% of the damage of the fall, I was being slow and thought it reduced less 
ive been considering fox just for the bag space
but that is giving up almost 1k dmg
and im not going to be perfect to begin with lol
that'll be less than a single backstab at max level right? probably not gonna make or break a prog kill
Has anything in recent time (last 4 months) happen where a 1h non-dagger in OH is giga bad
smh my head okie doke
i wont be wearing clothes
felsteel longblade main hand, then whatever fist weapon is almost invisible in off hand, walking around like a ninja 🥷
milk and cookies out for xal'atath?
ok seriously though over the course of the tiers as we get more 2ndaries.. what class usually comes out on top. Megagnome usually doesnt stay top does it.
Why is subtlety looking stronger this xpac?, what changed?
Hope youre rocking the suit and tie for the expac release
Not sure what you mean
im thinking tshirt and some pants perhaps sweats
underwear or nah?
always underwear
I see ppl say that subtltley will outperform other specs
and socks
i dont know, im just coming bac from a long break from rogue
i didnt get snacks
ill have to order some for delivery
i refer to outlaw and asa
sub will definitely be one of the top 3 rogue specs
well its a given that it'll outperform outlaw
ok, its sub easier now?
definitely yes
what they removed?
flag + symbols + rupture
shadow dance is still part of the rotation??
Yeah, it's been our bread and butter since like cata lol
and rupture its the same assa ruptere?
how its the gameplay? do we have to press a lot of buttons or slow like Arms warr
we dont press alot of buttons but its tight, you cant be slow pressing them
its all about fitting globals into ur dance window
I'm still tryna unlearn the muscle memory of piano-ing my keyboard at the start of a dance window
luckily I havent changed my binds so the extra button presses don't do shit xD keeping my apm high though haha
lmao it took me a little too
But i see that removing buttons its part of all classses this xpac
to make the game more friendly no?
yeah same, they're like a gravestone right now 
got to bring in more subs to keep shareholders happy
what is the reason for having multiple dance macros now? and is there ever a situation in which you wouldnt want to enter dance and sec tec immediately?
sub will be good on raid?
Second dance of blades sectech wont be ready
would a macro that puts you in to dance and hits sectec still not work, it just wont use sectec - what is the downside to one keybind there?
oh, so you dont even hold SB for sectech?
2nd dance in shadow blades
opener dance can have a builder too
second
Sectech cd is longer than your dance duration
so its a global effeciency thing - so you want a macro for SS/dance and one for Sectec/Dance - any others worth having? BP?
if u wanna go crazy u can do bp/dance evisc/dance storm/dance sectech/dance
but only storm sectech are really necessary
oh you mean the second dance inside of SB? I thought you meant the second SB in an encounter
why is DS opening with builder in dance and trickter with sectech btw?
i miss the info
ds likes to start dance at low cp and im not sure we have the exact reason yet but its likely due to strike
If i had to make a guess
yeah but than whats opener like
you go strike from stealth to apply mark anyway
than you do what
but why
Bc stone cold said so
On jah
The robot says it does more damage for ds to start dance with no cp
Some stuff under the hood
i just dont get it cos opener strike evis cds dance storm sectech instead just strike cds dance sectech is weird
Welcome to midnight
its little bit confusing but rather than have different 4 dance macro i think i will just press my stuff fast 😄
^
im using 5 bc im insane
Hell yeah

the dance macro wont save you anyway from missing GCD
it will
I thought about it but I just have them all on binds that are very cozy to press together
Thats the whole point of it
theres usually a .2s to .4s margin to get last gcd in dance
you can press macro before your GCD is free and it will cast dance before ability 😄
bc its like 6.2s dance length due to the way haste works
so u want to enter dance and press a global at the exact same time
to make it easy to hit the gcd at like 6.0xs into dance
for me personally is easier running no macro
or 6.4 bc of coup
thats just something you have to get used to
but thats the reaon
but yeah no ones forcing you to use them
yeah its better to wait for the gcd to not be free
bc if u lose a 10th of a gcd doing that 10 times in a row
i am
YIKES
the gcd u dont get at the end of the fight could be backstab


if u miss a 10th of a gcd doing it manually and u coup in that dance
u guaranteed lose a dance gcd
or have to do weird haste tiering to make it more forgivi g
so waiting for gcd to be ready and then firing macro mitigates a disaster loss every time and it might add up to losing a gcd outside of dance anyway if u delay it too long 10 times in a row
im use to use dance symbols and spell at same gcd for some years, surely i can hit just dance and ability within 0.1
if u wanna u can
all im saying is messing that up once is infinitely more punishing than pressing the macro that amt of time after the gcd comes up 10x in a row (in terms of ev)
i opened a random rogue stream and they had the DFA icon on teir CDM, what is that? Nostalgia baiting?
trickster hero talent
Oh did they reuse the icon for coup?

The earlier you use Sectech the less likely you are to have you Unseen Blades (and thus coup) be delayed until after your dance ends
Fk
I do not write the wowhead guide 
ya that’s fuu
i understand the tricskter part as we used sectech first global for whole TWW but the DS is confusing
Im not sure either
But robot is very very confident
in robot we trust
I did however PR the default profile for simc/bloodmallet
But im obviously not the first, Publik is way too ontop of these things
Hes too OP
most of the stuff on wowhead is already updated to midnight right?
also did yall get rid of the tabs where it shows BIS from raid and BIS from mythic?
its just one overall bis list now yes
midnight? bro it is 7:14 PM
this guy's a CHEATER!
how was midnight
1:16 here unfair headstart 
9.16am, i am even further into the future

I removed it sorry 😭
wtf
hes too strong....
hes almost got midnight already
.... !
we're in the same timezone
How common is the knowledge that 30 min timezone diffs exist?
asking to feel less/more dumb depending on consensus 
i think it's like a 2-3 hour flight to where you live from HK
the next nerf is gonna be a full removal of the class
come over and we'll grind wow in the same room like that south park episode
LOL
not very common
there's not that many places that have it
that acutally matter on the global scale
i didnt know it existed until this moment
how do you not know that's what i'm like already solo
well, based on this sample size I feel better 🤣
eleem ive reviewed icyveins guide and it doesnt mention how to be as cool as you any tips?

i thought icyveins would shut down once the spell got removed
nah nah , the thing is that he doesnt even know how hes doing it, hes just naturally that cool without doing anything
i laughed real big real hard when i read this
the site name becomes "tooltip not found"
Just got a mental image of stacking all haste, dance always up but you attacking with wet noodles xD
Best part is its Builder into 2 Finishers back to back
guys one more sleep and midnight is here
I’ve ran manaforge so many times….im ready for midnight
when combat is ongoing (and there's not a pull right after in m+) I always send the second shadow dance charge if I dont have to hold for shadow blades correct?
looking at the wowhead guide, did haste breakpoint change again? not ~35% anymore? or was 35% just the prepatch stuff
just prepatch
ty
Int stacking sub rogues in shambles 
guess im a dumb dumb now
Nerf Arms
tomorrow 3pm pst
11pm gmt
pulling an all nighter and hoping I dont fuck my sleep schedule too much for work on saturday 
server will probably be fried dtomarrow until night
How does the BP/Coup macro work?
Because of the janky way theyve coded coup you dont "know" the spell until its procced
So you can macro two on-gcd spells together despite normally not being able to
But idk, i wouldnt really recommend it as theres definitely moments where you'd want to hold coup
And then still use BP, or Eviscerate? In multi target.
Why wouldn't they just add BP to Evis in the tooltip, to use Coup?
What
Tooltip says "your next Eviscerate", but if BP works too, why not just add it to the tooltip. Or am I not comprehending it correctly?
Yeah, then I'm not understanding the BP/Coup macro like I mentioned earlier.
oh thats helpful sometimes i guess, is the macro pinned ?
You use coup in aoe , you dont use evisc in aoe
Just started playing sub and trying to figure out how everyone sets up there bars for when I’m and out of stealth. Any tips.
Exactly the same as outside stealth
and/or use an addon to make it so your bars doesnt shift
do you hold coup when you know your going to SD in 10 sec?
No
But if theres 2 mobs left on 5% hp before a big pull, do you really want to use your coup?
Mimic it to what you want out of stealth. Its not too bad. Then add the extra rogue utility abilities to a small 3rd bar that you can adjust, tack on, or place elsewhere
Many classes received bug fixes, did Rogue get something undocumented?
i assume DS will be better for leveling
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
undocumented more bugs at best
They revert rogue bugfixes 🙂
don't even put that out in the universe
bad news buddy
Did I miss something about sub rework or we truly went from "use 2 dances between every shadow blades whenever you want" to "press CD when it's up" .. ?
okay i wont
the suspense is killing me
press it the instant sectec comes off cd yeah
nah im just trolling u idk
i also just realized they changed the 1st boss in skyreach since i last tested it thank god
haha it's all good you've done enough
yeah when he would split the room in 4
they did a bunch of bug fixing today i heard
oh dope
ye some good some uh
made keys harder
seat first boss for example
cant banish/kidney/cc the blobs and jump on them now
oh gross
isnt seat already like one of the harder dungeons in midnight
its joever
no rogue bugfixes documented but they historically don't announce sub bug fixes for whatever reason
so there's a shot we got some
maybe
i was sandbagging assa this whole time apparently and have just been missing out on a ton of damage so i was trying that today lol
Maybe our bugs are either fixed or don't and they don't know, so they don't get announced
oh what were you doing wrong
maybe i'm doing it wrong too
i was missing 40% poison damage for a worse talent
cause someone said it mathed that way and i just took their word for it
oh yeah that talent is kinda insane
LMAO
yeah
ahhh i see
ohhhhh shit
good spec btw.
just 60% prio dam its fine
gonna be buffed after heroic week
WHAT COULD GO WRONG
yeah sin's prio is really really good
wait, which talent?
fatal conc instead of lethal dose
Don’t say this
i actually dunno how they nerf it easily

it's this combo of so many diff things
oooooh! Yeah 
for sub they just shot combo and that was 1 thing
with sin they would need to shoot so many things
you can start with this talent
lol true
if they have to
that would be the easiest to do 1st
which i dont think they should
What does lethal max out at? 4% for dots only?
i guess they could buff bleeds+poisons and nerf envenom
they've done that in the past
scent
MMM truie
maybe change scent to be like 10% or something
instead of 20
nerf scent u nerf aoe and its now just a worse class
you'd have to nerf scent and buff a ton of other stuff
you nerf scent and compensate in the bleed dmg
nvm it's actually simpler than i thought
its never really hard to tune something
or well how to go about it i should say
getting the numbers right
is the hard part
ye
i decided i'm going to lvl my remix rogue for our splits
Holy fuck I am dumb, the convo was about aoe. but even so would still need 10 targets to match, unless there is a cap
not gonna do another class
more targets infact, since it doesnt effect envenom
i looked at overall with concoction talented and wep poisons do nutty dmg with it
