i dont want to get beaten to death by autos
can u farm valeera exp just spamming the one zulaman delve w the caged bears
oh kyveza wasnt so bad
yes
do u get bountiful pre 17th
i am not a knower
id like to get it but i also wanna write mrt notes for everything pre splits on tue
its like 10k ppl though
ah it wont close that fast probably
so probably still open on wed
normally you get bountiful keys from weekly chests and I've gotten zero
yea
i did kyveza in s2 gear also was rly fun
so i wanna go for it
surely he does not auto for 20% of my hp
oh ok
we were much stronger comparatively at that point than we will be now
i remember uh
but yeah valeera is kinda op
but i had trouble w him on low gear
she has healing ground effect, dr ground effect, and a shield she gives you
could be bc i was alot more of a noob though
ye valeera makes you a tank

and gives you leech
ok i will try to level her next bear cage day
in the t7 delve spam you're legit getting autoed/standing in swirls and your hp is legit bdk
you lose 60% hp in one second and she full tops you insta
crazy work
oh ok i like
try to bait 2 swirls on each other then move
i havent even tried to stand in them im a coward
that fight is a lot less fun with 3 ppl
btw what even happens to the bears they leave the cage and theyre surrounded by like 6 zombies and troll wizards
but the amount of swirls on the very last guy are per player
i feel like im not helping them much
i love how other classes get stealth for some reason
yo what ilevel is considered "good" for mythic0?
someone told me 220 was fine idk
@warm marlin quick question about your UI, the 3 in the Evisc is tracking escalating blade charges, right? how did you do that?
oh cool
i think the real question i shouldve asked is what ilevel do i need to not get my ass declined over and over in m0 pugs lol
220
289 probably
I mean
If you don't have 6/6M Voidspire by tomorrow then like you shouldn't even bother opening the game
Also it's M0, just make your own group
¯_(ツ)_/¯
not ilevel 400?? time to uninstall
buncha non-BiS scrublords here I see
we craft vet or advent weapon?
It’s escalating blade overlaid on top of the eviscerate tracker
Technically an escalating blade bar tracker but the bar is hidden (only way for it to show 0)
DId you have to change anything for strata data?
you can craft either
It just worked when I set it up idk
they wont matter in 2 weeks but it is fine for now
are there any quartermaster renown for items to persue?
Is there any way to show cd of the shadow dance in the bottom with better cdm?
Hey guys!! Serious question here, we craft Farstrider's Mercy with the Missive of feverflare right
darkmoon: hunt embel
there is some champion pieces available when you get high enough renown with each faction.
does anyone have an addon to track ancient arts?
!apex
You cannot track the apex talents Ancient Arts through the cooldown manager. However they do show up via the ingame like THIS. If you cannot see them you must go
into your settings and increase your Spell Alert Opacity
is Deathstalker useable?
its swhoing the in game THIS is not available
!Apex this time for sure?

nicee it works
why does sec tec doesn't generate cp when dark arts proced? is it intentional or bug?
!premed
There is a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts. This is not something you need to play around, as using Ancient Arts of Secret Technique is about the same value as using it on a regular Eviscerate.
ty
my spell alert opacity turned all the way up and still dont see the proc for ancientarts
And you are level 90 with all 4 points specced into it?
If so then you probably have them disabled somehow, probably via an addon
ya i have them all with points and 90
hmmm okay
yes
i turn elvui off and works ugh
can never have anything nice
it probs has a setting that hides it turned on, if you find that I'm sure you can make them appear again while using elvui
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
no.....
dont say this
Its real and its totally over

gg
!guide
guys, apex coup was fixed?
What about it
Idk, is just a question...
Idk what your question is about


"fixed" in what way
I'm talking about when we use the Apex Talent proc with coup. Wasn't that bugged?
or we still need to skip proc with coup
?
It was never bugged like that no
is doing the same thing with backstab / shuriken storm outside of dance worth or nah
Youre not getting that many sht stacks outside dance
yeah but like sometimes the global after dance ends you have 5+ or whatever
Has anyone had the issuie where you're renown 9 with zul'aman but no quest for the 246 item? soujourner achieve also done
what gatekeeps it?
have you done the delve?
do u have to transfer crest to get 259?
U need to have done the tutorial for the abundance
i did it, but for some weird reason i didnt recived the quest Midnight: Abundance, the next one of the chain...
What is the best world quest addon these days?
I still like world quest tracker
That's what I've been using but now it doesn't have details about the rewards
No?
i hope no:(
if you have coup do you use it first going into dance or still sec tec
What do you mean details about the rewards? Mine shows what each quest gives whether it be an item or gold or rep or whatever
Still tech
Is eu weekly reset up?
yes
damn playing the new sub makes me feel like im in classic
!ui
Did everyone craft weapon?
Are there any goated trinkets we want from M0?
i'll wait until next week i think, no reason to craft rn
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If you’re gonna craft next week why wait? Just gets you through m0 faster with better weapon
is it the Farstrider's mercy the one we craft, the dagger, I would imagine? thanks (sry for dumb question)
Whats that
is aoe blind gone?
sadge
The name of the crafted dagger
does it have agi?
Yeah, thanks Foreverg ❤️
CDG feels meh

we sill using darkmoon sigil blood?
what race is simming highest atm
You guys using trickster for dungeons?
wats better for leveling and dung leveling/questing in general
sub or sin
delvs
etc
I leveled sub the entire way, and it was super ez peasy
yea i did too, wasnt sure if i should level my alt as sub too or if sin was a lot faster for big pulls and what not
Sub is a lot smoother
what is the highest damage race for sub now?
Panda or mechagnome
Panda or mechagnome
what about horde
So panda is horde
the food buff that huge huh
Do we save adventurer crests at all?
you may want to incase you have to upgrade a piece or two for first raid
Upgrading now doesn’t really do much
It’s recommend to save them in case you get a piece from m0 in a spot you upgraded with crests, those crests are kinda wasted
So perhaps wait till after the 2 pre season weeks and have run your 16 mO, 4 hard prey targets, then use your crests
But at the end of the day, it’s all irrelevant when m+ comes out, so follow your heart, you don’t need to min max
why cant i track this on my cdm bar?
They forgor
Are there any 3rd party CDMs that can?
Shadowstriking on full combo points feels bad, how big of an increase is that optimization
~1.5%
if you dont do it ur a nub
Im tryna make a roster my guy, im looking to optimize as much as i can xD
So anytime I have 5 or more stack of shadow techniques I always shadowstrike before finishing, is this intended?
if apex procs next full cp finisher yes
GL tracking that in the wee topright of your screen tho
tbh, i just be pressing it.
I just did it that entire m0 im not tracking all that LOL
If you use acrui you can track it as a bar that changes color at 5
Any reason to save adventurer crests?
if you are left with some adventurer piece before raid you can upgrade those
You get a quest called midnight world tour after finishing campaign that gives a spark
Yep, I am blind and didnt say reading was my strong suit
one of us. one of us.
So true 🙂
I was keeping up with chat and saw people were going to be crafting a weapon this week. So I was like man, I must be missing something that's just hitting me in the face.
Sure was. Just excited to finally start gearing Preciate yall
suppose to get 2 this week, yeah?

Panda or mechagnome are top dps races. How long does this last? Panda animations are S tier ngl
Did I own this week
Open your game options and in the search bar type “opacity” and set the spell proc opacity to 100. Granted, it’s black so it could be easily missed, but it does help and you get used to it.

anyone got the haste breakpoint chart
ty lover
No point in crafting until heroic release right?
ok sick i'm past 0.4 breakpoint
I mean 259 weapon makes everything die faster
Got some good drops in m0?
how are you all liking sub in m0s right now? So far, it isnt bad.
i am dumpstering
i started tonight with 7% haste, which felt terrible
press shuriken storm, press black powder
sometimes, when you're a good boy, you get to press black powder twice
im just pugging so i dont have a good comparison but aoe packs im decimating, st is also good
7% is very low, so def. need more
Oops
yeah! almost all haste gear
should i be dancing before a maxed out eviscerate or is it better to get another shadowstrike out
A: 7 cp, dance, evis,
B: 7 cp, evis, dance, strike, evis
which is better? buffing an evis or getting another shadowstrike cast in my dance
@vale pine whats the command to bring up your spreadsheet now?
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
tho i need to run sin/outlaw sims
We only did 4. Got the haste / mastery ring out Ig magi terrace
huge
we just ran the entire thing in 1 go
i'm tried
tired
We saved 4 for Thursday
anyone got the hookup to a smart tricks addon/macro for tanks
TricksMD on curseforge
That’s fine if we definitely craft a weapon when we get access to myth crests right? No chance we’d make the belt short of getting really lucky with myth weapon drops?
It’s a weapon + an armor piece based on loot drops for 99.9% of the players.
gonna walk into mythic week 1 and get a dagger drop on second boss? glhf
I feel like my eyeballs hurt from just hard staring @ my stack of sht xD
- you’ll want to have the embellishment in the offhand later anyway I’d imagine
so both best prog piece and one of your lowest stat budget pieces later (in the offhand)
yea. It’s a no brainer to me. Killing stuff faster now is worth it.
Actually what do you think about our apex talents ? If we compare our apex with the other classes ? Do we look fine in terms of damage gain?
!up
I think it doesn’t matter what other classes get. I enjoy playing around our apex.
Visually it's fun to me. So many clones.
Do we craft a weapon this week or hold off?
what else are you going to do with veteran crests
neck is from m0 or ?
700 haste pog
zoomin'
the 246 trinket doesnt sim rn but logs with it look solid
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target: Versatility >= Haste(35%) > Critical Strike > Mastery
Mythic+: Mastery >= Versatility > critical strike > Haste (~20%)
first dance now gives flat 3s and is added after deepening shadows? so deepening doesnt scale with first dance anymore?
Why is tricks of the trade sometimes only lasting 30 seconds
when i have the talent?
thats the unactivated tricks probably
^
once you activate it itll be 60m
Yeah I was just wondering. The result doens’t matter even if the class is f tier I will play it.
our apex is pretty good relatively speaking but i think havoc apex is peak
brews up there too
but there are tons of worse/more boring apexes than sub
What are the haste breakpoints?
like 200 and 700
at 700 i get 2 sectec into my blades?
no this happens only with lust i think
or maybe it can be done with first dance not sure
@vale pine above
you need 35% to get two sec techs in blades but it is whatever
you just get sec tech on next dance with supercharger and it is better
it isn't that high anymore in st
I was playing a dungeon now with around 11% haste and i almost had a sec tec in SB but with the 3 sec extended
So 18% unbuffed and we gucci?
Hey, so a quick question about the Ancient Arts optimization:
I'm guessing the goal of that optimization is to squeeze in as many finishers during dance as possible, right?
more like strike is strong and finishers will all get copies because we swim in sht
so you get extra dmg
So if there's like 2 sec left on SD, we wouldn't do it since we won't fit another one in, or do we still do that?
yea but they are stronger and strike hits hard
its an opimization around damage rather than ressource
hence why we dont use it on aoe in 4+ targets
because you get so much ressources
because storm doesnt hit as hard
so as a rule during dance, always SS when shadow techniques is at 5 or higher?
on low target counts*
if you dont have ancient arts up and you have 5 sht at least
and full cp
you strike yes
If I have Ancient arts up, I spam 2 finishers first, correct?
!aa
Apex talent optimization (Trickster):
- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
Note: Only up to 3 targets.
be aware that sometimes ancient arts can proc and you get only a 5cp or 6cp refund so you may need more sht
no you dont do 2 finishers
^ its just a diffrent breakdown of it, but migth be easier to apply if you follow a "checklist"
That is so cursed
it is
it is silly but this is even after 1 shadowcraft nerf
they may nerf it again
and just aura buff us
to cull this
surely they won't just aurabuff us like in S2 of TWW
didnt see a new expansion so empty in a while
So what does the most damage? I think I get the checklist bit, but I'd like to understand what I'm trying to squeeze more out of
you get more dmg from clones on finishers+
I am confident I can make this into an addon btw
let me cook
ahaha
already got AA tracker and made it into text and icon
Is there any way to see/track how many clones are active?
as people get more gear it will be easier to get used to it
does that affect our actions at all?

it does not
we only have a few optimizations
Not sending double finishers with AA is so weird
but generally just follow a very simple set of rotaitonal rules
Esp coming out of the last season
Why is this significant? If we aren't sending double finishers, why do we care about not being at full CP?
Oh, is it because you can't proc AA with another SS in that case?
!arts

yea apex 3 needs a builder in between
if it was like old shadowcraft and you could just keep doing them it would be funnier
oh, i could add that one too
You cannot track the apex talents Ancient Arts through the cooldown manager. However they do show up via the ingame like THIS. If you cannot see them you must go
into your settings and increase your Spell Alert Opacity

are people pooling cp before dance and doing insta sectech?
What's the ideal situation for proccing more AA activations? Like do you have examples of what this maximizing AA looks like in a dance window?
i did a video on it but basically you begin dance with like 3-4 sht
kk, I'll check it out. That's good to know
then sec tech at full cp it cant prox the refund because of premed bug but
you strike get apex
evis
get a refund but you use trike again to enable apex 3
then evis again etc
until dance ends
what i dont know if it is a win is if you end dance at full cp
and are in blades with new tier set
if you just do a stab in between to proc apex 3
then go into next dance and dance+evis apexing that one
Thanks for the explanation. The video helps too. Idk if you care about feedback, but for these kind of tutorial, it might be a good idea to have a GCD history on screen somewhere.
But to dumb it down a bit more, it looks like you follow the checklist, and you essentially want the AA visuals to appear as frequently on your screen as possible?
the "up to 3 targets" means that we should do the same thing but with shuriken when >3 targets, right?
Okay thank you for that !
I think you pool CP as well as SHT before dance+sec tech now
Stop being a negative Nancy. 
in opener u want to use eviscerate as first finisher for SnD or u just delay it so ST align with SD ?
You strike evis vanish strike send cds, or strike and send cds. It really matters very little unless you know you need sblades back right at 1:30
strike evisc is only technically suggested because it gets slice and dice rolling faster
make sense, ty
Are M0s daily?
Weekly until M+ launches
is there no buyable extra socket for neck/ring this time
I think in aoe you just ignore it and spam bp
yes
you only do it on 1-3 targets
and don't if you have more
ty @vale pine
no problem
Is sapling of dawnroot a good trinket?
is it a major dps loss if on pool i go shadowstrike -> SB + sectec?
why initial evis is needed in the opener?
upd. nvm, i checked the guide again
can i somehow look all media (pictures posted) in this channel on pc?
Search channel media
Do we ever use Eviscerate in AOE situations?
yes. When it’s coup
then we All LAUGH at you.
Hm, that makes sense. I'm watching a vid where the guy says to use powder directly after EVI??
you gotta give more context
it isn't needed
stop watching video guides. Follow rules in IV or Wowhead for target counts.
you can, like this
seems so. Guy says to use EVI > powder > backstap > shurikens in aoe. seems wierd
wowhead it is
idk what that guy is cooking
The lamb sauce
love how Sectech is missing 
Is the Maxdps rotation incorrect, or does it just feel that way? Use it just to get back into the rotation, but it feels a bit weird.
The what rotation
the one where you evis in aoe and backstab over shuriken storm
Isn’t that like Hekili?
Is 445am too early to start drinking?
Yea
GTFO with max rotation whatever
It’s gotta be wrong then lol I’m surprised that’s even functional
if anything it's too late
figure the minmax out once you know what your buttons do
Yes, I just wanted to get back into the rotation.
It’s pretty easy yeah idk why that person is being so harsh with you though
You could have done that in the time we’ve talked here
sorry if stupid question but anyone has the scale for pawn done?
likely you just need to watch for what to use in dance
Use the macros it’s like the easiest spec I’ve played in a while
We don’t use pawn
just know you want to sec tech every dance
You use simc
pawn is a bit of a relic from times when simc was only a local thing
This isn’t tbc
wow sorry
the stats are way easier to kinda get around now
😂
Which macros do u mean?
just get around 700 haste then go mastery/crit less haste for aoe but that is whatever
!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.
sim for the best outcome fro the gear you have
you can use raidbots
or run simc locally
Ok xD
yeah i just wanted a quick addon while gearing up leveling
to get that green arrow on bags
mostly
With all those macros set up the spec is basically 2 buttons lol. Don’t use rotation addons they’ve all been broken
!guide these will be helpful.
the actual scale of pawn has haste very low so i guess i will just pump the value
pawn is a super outdated thing
we were using pawn like 10 years ago
Thank u guys
raidbots is much better
Np
At this point it’s all ilvl. get 700 haste at 90
My guy 2009 is a little more than 10 years ago. 
oh was it longer than that haha
i vaguely remember using it during legion but i might be mixing up addons
You were running it locally
might have been the thing for artifact traits
I think shadowpanther stopped around 2012-13 and that was kinda the last of the formals for rogue gearing
it's crazy how legion release was 10 years ago
cap
Has even for SoD
The original dingus. Not the classic revisit for the site.
bring back thottbot while we’re at it
10 year anniversary of the death of smoke bomb. RIP smoke bomb.
is crafted dagger bis forever and ever?
if i were to pick 4 mates for m0 run ? would be best to be only leather =? Or all 5 leather?
all 5 leather would be far superior
theoretically yea realistically it doesnt matter mate its m0 gear
yea just thinking with randoms people will not trade gear and hold onto it for maybe switch items
that becomes a question of randoms vs friends
and in that case friends is far superior 😉
I can't believe he's calling me out like this
what a dick
also can we teach valeera how to rogue properly
this bitch has autos as her top overall
unacceptable
i find the best use of valeera is putting her to healer and using perma tricks on her
better tank that way
some poor vulpera warrior i think just accidently charged me in the slayer pvp area
and i absolutely dominated him
this version of sub feels really good in pvp holy shit
how about we just learn to properly poison from her? I want that poison effect she's giving
yeah that would be dope
Hello, good people. Got back to wow after a break(from the mid DF to now). I'd appreciate any new tips/tricks, addons, I've noticed that I see very small debuffs on the target. Is there an option to make them bigger on the new UI(that I've missed) or do I need an addon
What level are you looking to play at?
and how much patience do you have with addons and stuff
hello, what craft do we have to do?
Well, I work, so I have limited time, an hour or 2 every evening and free sunday
Does this help?
a fair amount, if that will improve my quality of life
I'm not looking to be progressing mythic raids or somthing(been there, done that, it sucked the life out of me)
I plan to play mythings, some raids, pvp
but leaning on the casual side of things
Sure, so the new rule is that addons can't give you more power than not having it, so you technically don't need to tinker with it. However, I do think there is a lot of QOL to be unlocked from being able to customize it. I'd give Arcui a shot for customizing what information you show yourself first
if that's too much, try Better CDM
But sub basically doesn't have any debuff that needs to be actively tracked unless you're looking to sweat out that extra ,1%
I saw that the new UI have some CD tracker, dmg mater, are they working properly
I know there were some issues with the damage meter
yup, and blizz's goal is for you to be able to do all content with just that
if you don't like the way it looks, I'd go arcui if you like tinkering with stuff. if that's too much, do bcdm
nice, thanks
the damage meter lost a lot of its functionality. For now, I wouldn't worry about it too much
is there a way to track first dance in cooldown manager?
you might need an aura
is there a list of rares that drop daggers?
We only get 1 spark this week right so csn craft weapon next week?
2
for the slow ones that missed 2 expansions, how to get those sparks? They were for upgrading gear right?
renown neck we take crit haste right ?
is there an efficient way to farm Voidlight Marl? I'm still leveling and I have barely any... ? Am I missing something here
its for crafting gear
depends on your haste levels, most likely yes
yeah need ~18% anyways
safer
playing more will give you more. Once you clear the main story, re-doing quests with alts will give you marls, there are world quests taht give them too
once you hit 90, there are quests that will give you sparks. Don't worry about not getting to them on time. You can earn them from any quests that's not the current week. i.e. if 3 are available, and you have 0, you can earn 2 from any quest, but the most current one, you'll need to earn from doing the specific weekly quest
gotcha. I forgot so many things. Thanks for the explanation tho
no prob, hope you enjoy the expansion
that will do it. I mostly need it for my professions recipes...
I have a couple of 70lvl alts to level up... hope that will be fast
Yea, leveling has gotten a lot easier in general, and if you didn't know, once you hit max level, the first 5 give a stacking 5% more exp gained for alts buff
damn that's nice. So in theory it should take a couple of hours to level up an alt from 70 to 90? and even less from 80 to 90
takes like 4-5 hours to do 80-90
It will get faster both because you are becoming more familiar with the quest chains and the map, but also the exp boost. I have found that leveling this expansion is a tad bit longer than the last one, so not that fast, but still pretty fast
depending on the strat used
first character is ofc kinda long af
if you are doing campaign
Is crimson vial the only wau to heal next to potions mid fight? (started midnight as a fresh sub rogue, so got a lot of dumb questions)
split rat ready
HELL yeah
doing my m0 splits tonight
my rogue is the same ilvl as this one
my main is 235
doing m0 in like 7 hours
hope you get a dagger unlike me haha
i got this which is kinda chunky but the light spawns in annoying places sometimes
is the voidstorm trinket bad? it sims always worse then nearly everything elese even on below 230 ilvl
guys what neck you choose? with haste?
haste until around 18%
so are we making dagger now already. Or waiting until higher Ilvl crests are out?
Does it matter with recraft system
doesent work in sims last i checked
It's probably not "optimal", but shouldn't matter if you aren't HoF raiding
Do we macro Shadow Dance Shadow Blades and Secret Tech together?
You can, but if you have a trinket or on-use racial that increases haste then it's not good
Better to just have a bind for blades + your regular sectech+dance macro
The reason why is because deepening shadows takes a few milliseconds to update, so if you macro you don't benefit from a longer dance from the things you're using at the same time
should i be getting both dances back by the time i get shadow blades back? i'm finding that it seems to line up more consistently/better with every other shadow blades, but i might just be misplaying in actual fights
If you don't have two dances during blades, you're basically inting
can you only get 2 veteran items from Hunts? I did third hunt and got only green bag
yes
God I wish I didn't have severe ADHD.. reading guides does NOT work for me lol
They simplified rogue immensely and I'm still struggling to grasp
@hollow spear walk me through this then, because by the time blades comes back i either have to hold it and sectech for a few seconds to get the second dance cd low enough that i can fire it to overlap the end of the blades, or i can only squeeze in like 2 or 3 seconds of the dance in during the end of blades
if you don't mind i mean
Cooldown Management: The vast majority of damage is bound to cooldowns, offering Subtlety the unique opportunity to stack them. All cooldowns are aligned to Secret Technique, which means we only use Shadow Dance when the spell is ready. Our major cooldown Shadow Blades is used alongside Shadow Dance when possible, and a second instance of Shadow Dance is typically used right after the first ended (the second cast won't have Secret Technique ready). Cooldowns don't line up well naturally, which often means we delay both Shadow Blades and Shadow Dance slightly when Shadow Blades is about to come off cooldown.
That last sentence is what you're looking for, I believe
that is exactly what i'm looking for
i mean nothing is really living long enough for a second blades in practice
i just decided to hit a training dummy and noticed that last sentence exactly: cds not lining up naturally
Where all can we get sparks from ?
midnight world tour and the weekly
World Tour quest and Weekly quest in Silvermoon
and if you play your cards right, there might just be a spark between you and me.
man i got screwed on drops this week, got like 4 trinkets and 3 cloaks so far from mythics and my hunts
don't threaten me with a good time
is the aoe blind fixed or am i just unlucky
Guys how is sub tuned on live currently compared to assa?
Good? Bad? Unplayable?
sin felt undertuned to me, sub feels... ok
aoe blind is gone yea
They removed AoE blind i think
sad
Too much CCs in the game tbh
Hmmm I did both quests and only got 1 spark
Is there a weekly housing quest that reward crests?
both feel fun, but i don't feel like we're doing enough damage to justify our lack of utility in sub rn
Did you bank it maybe?
@rain stratus not yet
was sure they had baked it in the normal blind and its just a wording mistake
but oh well
Is there a place I can buy catch up gear? My ilvl is 90 cause I havent played a rogue in like a year and a half
Man, them removing aoe blind kinda makes me sad
is there a specific rep we wanna focus on for early prog? Just not sure what to pick for the dungeon quest reward
you'll be fine at 90 jumping in i think
singularity to 7 for a champion (246) trinket, silvermoon court to 9 for a helm
hara'ti for a belt but i dunno what rank, i think 8 or 9
yeah if you do the quests and get each rep to 8 or 9 you get 4 epics
already replaced the trinket from M0, nothing past that?
dont think so
alright, tyvm 🙂
Also there is a sneaky little trick to farming a couple thousand extra rep for Hara'ti each week
i'm listening
The legend quest weekly gives 1000 rep. If you choose a different legend than one you've already completed it also grants the rep cause technically it's a different quest
So if you have alts, you can do multiple
you beautiful bastard
I'm working on my 3rd and 4th 90 currently cause I'm a fucking loser 😄
I wish someone would find a fast way to level alts that wasn't "Do all the delves", level to 88, turn in the quests
lol like I dont want to level to 88
81-83 go really fast at least
so it's only really 5 levels of slog instead of 10
but i hear you
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
So 1-2 targets is normal rotation, 3+ is SS and BP, while throwing out a Coup when it's up?
233 dagger from prey now all to do is m0s
Son of a bitch
most of the time yea
Even with leather stack, only got to 233 and lots of dup slots
Does anyone elses tmog look like a 13 year old from 2005 designed it?
I mostly wear old mogs so probably
if you're using t2 xmog?
then yes
way worse than t2
I'm using blackened defias with a defias mask
and a spikey mohawk of course
Is there a superior horde race for rogues? I love how bad ass my dude looks but I'm wondering if I should be like belf for torrent or something
im 7/8 m0s done in leather stack
this is very 13 year old 2005esque
guess it can be worse 😅
but not as cringe as t2
(i'm using t1 🙂
thats wild
nothing better has dropped
i think you can literally just buy 201+ gloves off ah
i could
I call it 'Prepubescent Chic'
also been a few WQ that drop gloves
i havent seen any
they drop at like 224
when i was at work
I think Mag'har Orc is literally the worst choice for Rogue on horde lmao
I'm at 10% rn and I can feel it lol
i know i'm gonna get 0 haste pieces from keys
tho it was super fun blasting m0's last night
less so bc of the frost mage in group but still lol
look at this beauty
socket AND speed
too bad shit stats 
GODAMN
that's not too bad tbh, heavy crit
which is decent
yeah will hold onto it
i've been degening a bit so i'm 235 atm
out of curiosity, has anyone done a single target sim and have recent numbers they dont' mind sharing?
I still need to get the renown champ gears
i got 7 pieces of overlap today; only ended up getting upgrades in like 4 slots
have the trinket but that's it, was degen grinding professions all EA
my current rogue after m0
damn sad
I assume Haranir can be rogues, right?
everything can be rogues and mages
dang, i'm simming 7k lower than you on ST at 231
same talents
u flick on all patchwerk options?
default sim options
youre playing planned execution and finality
oh might be an old sim, i was moving talents around
no veiltouched either
they barely impacted my sim though, like +/- 600ish
just stole your talent build, which was just those two things you mentioned in the swap: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2VRVWHiA7SeH3zt7aYoNbk
you dont have enchants or embellish
i mean the haste is a big deal, you have longer dances but that's still pretty considerable, almost a 20% gap
ahh yeah i have a crafting order out
i didnt look super well tbh
i mean at this lvl of gearing it is whatever we will replace everything fast
me either and hes still 6 behind
but my guild went to sleep so waiting on that
6k
what's your haste % in game?
i've been using the highest ilvl and targeting haste when possible but this is the best i've gotten
Looking at the wowhead guide, is vers that bad of a stat for us now?
oh lmao
detective dino
damn
i dont' think i would have ever looked at that
good catch
i don't even see where to configure that in raidbots haha
might need to change to nightly or latest
that's a crazy catch haha
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7QSgQrquLTRu4eKDa8ohgK that feels better
He toggled the secret sandbagging option that our tc implemented to get buffs


the oil is better anyway
20 crit/haste
is there a bubbling wax equivalent for midnight? i kinda liked that in tww
ur not gonna believe this...
i will
i know it still works
but like the weighted boomstick is 2 or 3x the damage for guns so i gotta believe there's something for us too
But its not very good
that's less fun than pickpocketing it
so im trying to understand the logic beheind the ShadowDance window. when we have full CP+Apex proc, we want to use Evic to consume the proc, and IF we have 5 shadow technique stacks ready, we would then shadowstrike, at max CP in order to generate another Apex proc.
But if after the first Evisc we are betwen 1-4 shadow technique stacks, we would then just double evisc to consume out CPs.
so we have to activly monitor the stacks and a quick decision during the GCD
Apex talent optimization (Trickster):
- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
Note: Only up to 3 targets.
We don't evis on opener now? Not turning on SnD?
=5 stacks and no glow inside dance ? strike then finish
It turns on later anyway, its fine to just send
Cooooool. But I don't know why simc SS twice inside SB though.
It rarely does, but its because of thing posted literally above
ok now that i figured out my sim issues, i'm slightly less disappointed, but still disappointed at how much more damage other classes are doing... guild devasation evoker is doing 56.6k ST vs my 40.7k
only 40% more
gear is also quite across the board atm
Well yeah blizzard decided that they werent gonna tune the game until 17th
and ye, no tuning for a few weeks
But sims != actual dps
Because not every fight is 4-6 minutes of standing on a dummy with no mechanics
fair, but she's a good player, given players of equal skill and class understanding, that baseline dps is a big factor
And every class differs in what makes their numbers deviate from that
^
and melee is punishing right now, so many puddles and stomps and stuff
you underestimate my ability to ignore mechanics
yeah that's what cheat is for
are we talking about sims in m0 week 3 weeks before tuning
i dunno our mages sims, but he regularly beats me by a healthy margin but he gets the benefit of being able to stand still and tunnel a lot more than i feel like i do
mages are very strong
touche 🙂
more news at 11
i mean talking about, yes, not like obsessing over
obsessing comes later, when i try to go to sleep
true
idk I wouldn't put too much stock in current gear/sims stuff
i'm not too worried, i'm not jumping ship. i love rogue and stick with it through good and bad times
just... fewer good than bad last few expansions it felt like
like, for a pure dps class with very little utility (don't get me started on h ow worthless and fickle stealth has become, so shroud is almost useless), we shouldn't be middling on damage
For trigger AA, shadow strike twice but can't follow AA on CDM wut
i'm not gonna put a number on it, but if you bring utility in other ways, like off healing or other utility, you shouldn't do more damage as well
You cannot track the apex talents Ancient Arts through the cooldown manager. However they do show up via the ingame like THIS. If you cannot see them you must go
into your settings and increase your Spell Alert Opacity
haha i actually like the way that stops on the first line, "then you must go"
I should check out my setting
"just go... anywhere but here. go away"
Rogue being just good in TWW is certainly a take
we were middling in TWW at best imo
maybe you were
i did skip s3 though so if we had some kind of resurgence then i missed it
Assa was m+ melee meta in s1
Sub was cracked in s2s3 raid
rogue is never going to be popular play rate combated to Hunter ret etc
Definitely wasnt cracked in s2 raid
i don't play rogue because it's popular
Early prog it was
But outlaw was doing good in s2 keys, and s1 & s3 raid rogue was very good
which guide would you recommend, also build for m0?
ww has a word
Thats not sub
Assa going through walls. Kekw
Team China over here saying rogue was mid in TWW
just not the case
ofc
My guide because everyone else is stinky doodoo and im the best

but there was a reason a assa otp(me) played ww that season
The m+ build. Just drop quicker shiv for iron lung
Am I blind or does the standard blizzard buff tracker not track ancient arts?
!apex

Noted
Raid needed the debuff eh?
we had like 3 monks
Do you guys store Shadow Technique before every SD+ST?
I do but simc don't. Simc just spend Shadow Technique simply
I do for a couple seconds before dance
but you don't really have to bc sectech gives a bunch
guess you’re not a true otp. Turn in your red name

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yes im a loser nowadays
Hello, why do we pick warning signs for mythic +? isnt 10% crit damage on finisher better for aoe
the autoattack speed means more ShT stacks
faster stab more gooder
cause more damage
BP machine gun
your welcome
on papper or practical?
holy based
deathstalker...
whats a deathstalker
It's a small mark that will sometimes decide to leave.
And never return, taking the damage with it.
a nightmare
is there any strat to using ancient buff? or just use when its up
yesnt
I actually still had it set to planned execution but warning signs makes so much more sense
i guess it depends of critical rating we have?
Hi. Why does it say in the guide that for raiding, if there are 2 rogues, one should take the numbing poison ? I thought that atrophic poison can cumulate
whats nt
means yes and no
ok i get you..try to pair it with sd or coup if it makes sense
you can play with it normally or you can optimize in 1-3 targets
ok thx
alright ty
!aa

you can follow this lil flow chart to force the buff if you don't have it
hey, is doing a macro "cancel aura shadow dance cast invis" is a thing ?
thx
!ui
Why would peeps want to cancel the aura going into Stealth?
anything against sub being Dagger/Axe? what is our incentive to be Dagger/Dagger?
you can't stealth while Dance is active
!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 around 10% of your combo points and energy regen by using a nondagger
so fine to use a nondagger until i loot anotehr dagger? 🤔
can probs just buy one on the ah
or would it be better to even buy a 214 dagger JUST to make sure i have one
offhand dps is whatever
Yes
ty kindly folks ❤️
why are there so many 80 level chars still in dornogal standing, doing nothing? forgotten bots? 
are we crafting today?
Is there a list of which trinkets are implemented vs not implemented in simc yet?
im trying to compare trinkets and the 246 one and some world trinkets look like they are severly undersimming
All the trinkets thats available at reasonable ilvl during the season are implemented
The others are sometimes, sometimes not

yea keep in mind the singularity trink will be replaced by hero track M+ ones
i replaced that with 233 trinkets 😄
be your own decider.
i believe nothing wrong with crafting this week, u can always upgrade it later with myth crest
i think mats are just extra expensive right now as i've heard some mats have bugged drop rates
i think something in skinning, not sure what else
the dagger mats are as expected
those Petrified Roots were dropping like mad in m0's last night which will help crafting costs for a lot of things
anything that needs petrified root, or the epic skins (prof tools) are very expensive due to low drop rates
was getting 5-6 at a pop
they dipped to 3800 and then shot back up to 5k
ofc
I'm sure people jumped all over them once the price dropped
scooped up as many as possible
prey is the only other way to get them afaik
once +8 delves open up that'll be another avenue
yeah just prey and m0 atm
and with the weekly lockout they'll dry up once people are done speedrunning them
I'm gonna be running all the +8's on three diff toons onces they open for mats lol
already got my alchemy army stockpiling potions and flasks
259 highest we can craft? An is it haste/mastery on the weapon?
259 is highest.
yes, and probs haste/mastery or haste/crit
Haste mastery safest bet
Hunt embellish
Sorry if someone answered this for me earlier. How do you get both sparks for crafting?
gonna grind rep for the champ pieces
Ty ty
what the, i dont think i saw any in my m0 world tour
One from the Midnight world tour
and I think the other was from the weekly activity choice quest
I’ve got 1.5 levels of haranar left and 1 left for the smithing and engineeer 10 skills buy
yeah we did a guild group of 4 of them last night and at least one of us got 5-6 of them per dungeon completion
I've been really slacking on renown besides the trinket one, was tunnelling professions lol
think I'm at least rank 7 with all of them though so not too much work
made ~500k profit though from EA stuff
including the 2-300k I spent leveling profs
the telescopes and books were huge rep
at least a level per zone
oh good comms
250 per book and 100 per telescope
i may not have time to get it
