i think without devourers bite itd be less fun
but i like using felblade for the dmg amp alot
i was the only person playing rogue in raid for the last few tiers, i think 5 people in our larger group are playing rogue for their own guilds
for midnight s1
not sure whats goingon
sounds familiar lol
i have an idea
I'm the only 90 rogue atm
:-)

Blasting DPS in m0 
yeah i was the only rogue in our guild
we did triple sub m0s today
pretty good comp ngl
i vouch for him
no shaman buff stinks
i trust him
don’t need aoe stops if everything is dead
believe it or nor
temu aoe kidney
this is the comp sub looks best it
just have 3rogues
i could believe it
the days of triple outlaw are over
all hail triplesub
u dumping sub now?
yessir
Wait for guy to craft 1h first
think he did

he got the shindiggy
i feel like he would have told me if he did
Ye
contingency plan
outlaw tier would be elite
might be a thing like undermine
where outlaw is secret the best
fr cuz the dagger specs are kinda snoozefest
outlaw is fine if you like reactionary gameplay. no thanks.
subs reactionary now
watching the 4 stacks of sht like a hawk
that is more reactionary than any gameplay outlaw has lol
sub-gcd reactive gameplay ehhh
its like its been reversed
outlaw is the hold for cd spec
sub is the always send spec
reactive gameplay spec
cursed timeline
have fun with it the 
getting the cucked 5th sht as you hit evisc
strike always
go for the hit
sometimes i just get mad sht isnt proccing
and hit the triple strike out of spite
I have my pc macroed to shut off if I strike 3 consecutive times
bc if that happens its likely I need to step away and not punch a hole in it
im just doing math in myu head i subtract 5 or i subtract 3 and if i get more sht in between gcds i dont care i pretend i didnt
ive given up
yeah math is hard fr
if you play outlaw just make a rainbow combo point bar
everr color is a different button
I had a pretty neat one in prepatch in arc for ps stacks
i am pissed at arc because
he decided to blow up the addon today
which wasnt very cool
wait what
thank god I hard-swapped to ellesmere's
i logged in and the icon spacing was all over the place 💢
windows trying to teach me this lesson
"security" update that introduces microstuttering
die microsoft die die die
cant wait for them to add copilot to wow
they got addon vibecoders ai prompting for windows now
does wow run well on linux? i might also swap off
which distro would you swap to?
installing bnet is apparently annowing
bc we had some linux users w tech issues when i was progging last xiv tier
and it was so evil
im not goingt o risk it
probably just bazzite or something and then when i inevitably get frustrated w it and get used to it i go cachy
but its been awhile since ive used it so i think if i do cachy first ill make a fool out of myself

Huh, interesting. yea I heard of bazzite, first time about cachy
it is weird trying to do linux when you used windows all your life, but I really don't like the direction MS is going in, so I think it might be doing future me a huge favor to make the swap when it's not at gunpoint
yeah
but im going to do it when theres 0 risk of me nhaving some strange technical issue mid prog

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.
Should i always use the macro for shadowdance+secret tech? Or is it okay to pop shadow dance if sectet tech is on cd for a couple seconds but can still fit it in the shadow dance window?
historically you dont want to waste SD windows, so make sure they're synced. you also want to go into dances with full cps as trickster
i have heard theres this thing called faugus
havent looked into it too much
but i have been told that its easy niow
you can dance if you can use sec tech second finisher but that is more advanced
and like if you are on a timer and something that will make you go out of melee in like 10 secs
so delaying 3 or 4 secs would be losing half a dance
@alpine wraith do you recall the old APL code for used in dance for danse macabre?
isn't it just used_for_danse
ty, let me try
it is indeed !used_for_danse
yep
tbh you might get a little win on 3t and 2t thing to use strike to pop premed instead of storm
for danse
4t even
why I'm looking at a sub sim that has ancient art up but again generator after that finisher?
!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.
you can strike with full cp to guarantee an apex clone attack on your next finisher
if you don't have the Ancient Arts buff active yet
but my question is AA already up
full cp -> use finisher and have 5+ sht stacks left
I think he means how sometimes when you cast a finisher with AA up, your assumption is it should fill your combo points after the cast
Which I've noticed doesn't always happen and I don't quite understand it myself
AA is up, but gets consumed by that finisher
Its so crazy cause lorelei was saying that devourer has saved wow for them
Different strokes for differenr folks goddamn
so then you strike after that finisher to guarantee another AA buff
Devourer has a fun ramping playstyle
it starts out as a slog but once you build momentum its quite fun
has a very palpable tempo switchup
esp if you play the build where consuming souls grants haste
so you're legit machine gunning
the prepatch single target gameplay was literally one of the worst things I've ever experienced though
damn sub has 50% more buttons now?
Is 3 buttons and youre pressing consume 70% of the time
the Annihilator one?
Yea
ye
ye this was like half the complaint
Like holy samole i cant
its only fun when you're fighting to get your fifth collapsing star off
spamming my 2 second long single target generator on 20 mobs until I get meta that lets me do damage
yeah if they had an insta-meta button for the opener to get the spec started that would be a gamechanger
The melee version where u felblade reap hungering vr
bc the opener fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
oh ye vs melee build is big fun
and parts of aoe are fun when you can beam -> eradicate -> beam -> eradicate -> meta bombs
That was more enjoyable
its honestly creeping up towards wanting to play it over rogue
so I'm def gonna be blasting m+ with it
Well havoc sims higher than rogue XD
Not that numbers matter rn
we also have 2-3 dh already for raid
The burst is crazy tho
Hunt felblade vr eyebeam fel rush break dance dance chaos strike meta dance chaos strike insane
you're throwing vr before first eye beam instead of meta?
you get initiative
from it being the first few globals
If its opener i hold vr but in a pack youre usually hitting immo aura and stuff proccing your initiative earlier
Kinda wanna have 2 immo running before u meta since u get 2 more from meta
so glad they fixed the auto-consume bug tho
Sucks it doesnt reset its cd anymlre
ye
I miss the chaching reset WA
I never played with wa sounds lol
I had a few
the silencer shadowcraft refund, chaching AFI, ellesemere gunshotfrontal
df s3 havoc 🔥
My spooked ass when i swapped off to the dratnos dimmy circles WA
havoc post-rework in df was so fucking fun
I didnt play havoc in df s3, i played outlaw on the very last week of keys
And learned that keys were really fun and not too hard
all the specs i was playing at the time were peak
havoc, spriest, outlaw
so much fun, keys were the best of any season ive played
good times
omg that was 20s prim wave enh season too
everything was a banger
I got invited to an eve ascension team group that needed a body to do their homework randomly, having never done outlaw keys or anything s3 really. We slammed a bunch of keys and went like 25-26-27-28 and missed a 29 and i was like wait arent these high keys?
Am i being hard carried???
But it was fun lol
Barely played the week prio lmfao
I missed out that season i thinn
I also remember playing sub in like 24s n stuff
And people whispering me "wait i thought sub was bad, ive never seen a sub rogue do damage??"
I think i playes a super krangled build too
Like with goremaws tornado
No dust
And i would just flag on cd and sblades every other or hold if it made sense
I swear i was on hidden tech
it was like
UNLIMITED POWAAHH
yeah legion goremaw was
that button you pressed
when you were omega tapped
between cds
Idk i barely played legion
I just remember entering a state of pure anxiety anytime i shadow danced on trilliax during the beam
Since it would teleport you every single shadowstrike
Yeah you could say i was somewhat of a demon
insane gamer
lmao
Yeah i went kinda crazy on ghuun
This is some
Hehe
”your guildie hits you up for a vault key monday night” vibes
Lmfao bro i was so casual
Legit playing with "Guild Wars 2 UI" addon and only 24 keybinds
Slayer of mythic trilliax!!
Can stack supercharged combo all the way to 7 right ?
Holy shit i did it twice

Not in open world, not done rounds yet
Slayers rise is pretty real
well
most of the treasures spawn on the edge of the map
so yeah they die if they fall off
I'm almost done with voidslayer title just 150 odd honour kills left
besides that
Then real content
Looks good every season
yeah how it should be
I only wear jackpot
we havent had a super bright illusion since df s2
they killed the main reason i used jackpot
In the new tranmog system you can't illusion on ghost blades
So no complaint, they're unlit matchsticks
I cant have my black thunderfuries anymore
i have the most cursed priest kill on jailer that looks like i bought a boost on it
why were you on priest
2 days before we start jailer prog
RL: hey what ilvl is your priest? our priest kinda quit and we need one
oh
only fort buff?
ye
our priest decided to quit 1 night before rygalon died or something
i died so much 
mobility as priest is pain

apparently my alts are allergic to mobility
since the only other one i play is paladin 
im maining priest this tier
and yeah it feels like someone shot me in the kneecaps

at least im dracthyr so i can glide around

and i might be playing dk in keys but i dont really think we can call rider dk slow anymore
is there a guide about what to craft and when to craft what embelishments etc
lmao yeah
dk just ignore mechanics whenever
also have same mobility as paladin (so not that slow anyway)
10s 100% speed boost that resists forced movement effects and has 2 charges on a 45s cd

plus unholy is a ranged spec
You’re 99% making dagger first. After that it depends on what drops you get.
Is goremaw viable in any setting?

Tired of asking this and getting the same answer every tier 
goremaw is cool after doing some pet battles
and calming your 9 kids and 5 wives
you can use it on some critters
Hm. The sim isn’t even using goremaws during shadow dance for danse macabre
That’s surprising
First use is like 25s in
Might be good to use for danse/avoid eb overcap
Might be some hidden tech here 👀
Problem is the talent point you are removing for a possible extra lashe macabre
Probably goes into finality or veiltouched or something else which is more of a definitive gain but it would be interesting to test regardless
Also it’s a pure st node while the others mentioned contribute to aoe
ts was not nearly enough to make it good in tww3 where eb stacks were worth like 3x as much with tier
goremaw ass
Honestly that loss isn’t as bad as I would have guessed
Swapping the finality point
Idk it seems plausible apl tweaks could improve it but probably not by much
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Not bad
So we use goremaw first global in dance for the dm stack?
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
not that bad in pure ST and then you add any more targets it'll drop off a cliff i imagine
Any good world quest trinkets?
Hey im new to sub.
For aoe tldr is , use Shadowstrike/Shuriken to build CP then spend them on Secret technique and Black power?
adventurer crests are whatever anyway
that the crit proc?
yea
also i was confused they nerfed the renown trink
from 240 crit to 100 like wtf

!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
no other option unless u want to build with backstab in aoe
Shadow strike during dance and 2 targets, otherwise is shuriken storm .
I think for some classes it makes sense to not craft but for us we craft anyways long term and just put a good dagger in main hand if we get an early hc / mythic one . I don’t see a downside. Else there is no need to craft right now as well since nothing is happening content wise
How do u stack
good morning lovely people
Does the macro with Coup de grace and black powder just save a keybind or actually use the spells at the same time
250 to 144, but ye its suck now. dk why they do this- almost 50% nerf(also trigger frequency be nerfed)

u literally only wear it because its high ilvl anyways so who cares 😭
will swap it out almost instantly
do i targget swap shadowstrike during dance in aoe?
it was decent when the upgrades got online on the trinket even vs most champion and hero trinks as a passive
so yea it did matter
now it does not however
u wouldnt swapped it out almost instantly even before the nerf, its a whatever change

Problem is if you use it in dance all the energy gains are completely wasted since we are overcapping energy in dance anyway. But yes finality is also a fairly weak point
Hey guys, do u have also the problem that the dance/technique macro doesn‘t work? Sometimes it just casts SD
Don't press it while you're on the gcd
you were out of range possibly too
Ah thats the mistake, cause i am spaming it, when SD is close to come off cd
How much should I trust simming as a new person.
Keeps telling me this 10 ilevel less pendant than the rep one you get is better
trinket *
are there any pre requisites to entering dance? in general i mean, not on opener, like how many stored combos I have, obv do it off gcd and with sectec up, but other than that
check the faq page first. But yes. Assuming trickster, you at least want to have full CPs going into dance
ive dug through the guide on wowhead
so on trickster in SD you basically do - shadowstrike > shadowstrike > eviscerate > eviscerate > shadowstrike > shadowstrike > eviscerate > eviscerate ( every second shadowstrike on full cp only to proc the apex talent) ?
thx in advance
be more specific. what context is that sequence in?
single target opener
as I mentioned, Ive seen that, i meant some caveat, something sneaky, which in return leads to slight optimization
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.
I dunno exactly where the discourse is, but you also want to make sure your Shadow Techniques is at like 3-4 points before going into dance
it's related to the aboveshown optimization
bless
ye when i SD after the first shadowstrike im already on 5 or more stacks of shadow tech so i assume i shadowstrike again, then double eviscerate do use the combo point, then after the shadowstrike im at 5+ shadow tech stacks again so i do another shadowstrike and then doubel eviscerate . What confused me was the demo rotation and that the raodbot never seems to ise double shadowstrike - it only does strike > evis > strike > evis
thx for the comments, was helpful
🥂
gl on the movies zendayaa
So basically, there's a bit of an optimization you can do around apex talent that leads to about ~1.5% damage increase. Long story short is that the more of the 3rd Apex Talent you can proc, the more damage you'll do. I'll let someone else give a detailed explanation because that might be a bit beyond me, but the abovegiven talent is a rough rundown of what it means to try to capitalize on that optimization
does the apex talent optimization work during the entire duration of SD? or just the first few seconds?
the entire duration. Just keep in mind that it's a minor gain at best. Most of your damage comes from doing the supercharged secret tech during dance
The biggest takeaway is you don't double finish after the Ancient Arts Proc
ohh i see
I mean once you activate the apex talent once isn't it always kind of active as long as you're pulling from shadow techniques bank and striking before eviscerate
I mean until you dump your combo points
i dont think so
Why would you
no find weakness is now a buff on you
you don't need to swap
holy i accidentally flew into EPL from zul aman, what a shock
i completely forgot we're right next to eastern kingdoms
One question. Is it possible to macro SD with sectech

whats acceptable ST and cleave dmg over 2 minutes, im testing on a dummy. subtly ilvl 227
not sure how to sim as of midnihgt
got it to work, do we ru ndungeon slice?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
depends on what you want. Dungeon slice for m+ performance approximation or ST. If you're not sure if you're doing your rotations correctly, ST seems to make more sense
Can just sim 2 targets
If you wanna see 2 target cleave
Or X number depending on what you want to see
Dslice uses a combo of st and aoe
Can someone explain in simple terms why I should macro Shadow Dance with Secret Technique?
Lets say it takes you 0.3 seconds between pressing dance and pressing secret technique (very reasonable not slow thing to be doing). Then your first global of shadow dance is 0.3 seconds in.
Lets also say you are at a haste level which makes your shadow dance last 7.2 seconds.
Then you will end up casting a spell at 6.3 seconds, and then when 7.3 seconds comes along, you will no longer be in dance
ty i think it makes sense
is it possible to track 1st dance in cdm?
Don't think so
Maybe one day
i have 670 haste right now that is 19% -> 7.4s SD duration
guides says to have 800 haste that must be like 22% > 7.7-7.8 SD?
others 18% haste that is -> 7.2s SD
seems that it depends on your internet connection

hard to establish, i feel good with high haste tbh rotations are faster
its not a % so too speak
you are aiming for
its the raw number
the percent will be kinda off due to alac
684-700 is the raw number you’re looking for
less for m+ but that range feels good on bosses and packs
who would have thought that blizz would do a talent like this
they dont seem that original
meanwhile
blizz:
what dagger are we crafting btw?

The agility one. 
ty
If it was anything but free finishers who would know what would have been 
just please goremaw like increasing next 3 finishers damage by 20% or something like that
45s cd whatever
I just want death from above to be baseline
is taking 2 points in vigor a big loss for trickster m+ build?
!ui
someone else experiencing a bug that secret technique doesnt trigger ancient arts (doesnt generate combopoints) ? 🤔
Gg for 259
if the buff premeditation is up it blocks the combo point refund
so yeh
any way to avoid this or just live with it? :D
its a bug
nothing you can really do
so you can't avoid it
just play like normal and hopefully wait for them to fix it someday
do only rogues have so many bugs, ive been playing assa prev tier and it was broken af too, or other classes are the same xdd
all classes have them
pretty ridiculous there's still so many bugs for a commercial release
first time?
whenever theres a bug, just nerf arms warrior
I was saying the same until scath I think was it said that sectech is basically just dfa. A big finisher u anchor other modifiers to
Nah, been playing since 2005. Just figured they'd, you know, eventually get their shit together
I'm sure this small indie studio is hurting
when in the history of blizzard have they ever gotten their shit together?
true lol
they are too busy meeting their qoutas to fix bugs
atleast now i know that its not only happening to me, it was driving me insane lol
and that coup de grace / blackpowder macro is insane, worth it to join the dc i guess

Playing for 20 years and expecting there to be no bugs on release. smh my head
delulu
Why would you want to macro them? You dont want to coup outside dance but you likely will powder outside dance
frostmourne server 霜之哀伤服务器 poor performance 表现不佳 monkey code 猴子代码 dollar company 美元公司
But coup replaces the eviscerate button so what is gained in button bloat?
you can spam the BP macro and never move your fingers.
Oic
One of us need to update with coup instead of rupture
shotgun not
is it a very big issue? like does it affect our dps alot
Quota of???
its just inconvinient
!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.

!craft
damn thought it was a thing 😄 what do we craft first homies
What would it have fixed? Leveling was smooth and well done. They’ve given themselves another 3 weeks before raid starts from launch.
Hopefully they take care of some of the UI stuff, but addons will solve most of that.
The class bugs are everywhere. Delaying 4 months or whatever wouldn’t fix that. They actually need people looking at them.
we literally have everything listed here for all known issues. Do they read it? 
Dagger most likely
Is there a reason why im missing a spark?
You didn’t do the world tour or the weekly
oh.. where can i get the world tour at? i skipped the campaign
google? Idk
true lol
my alts are crafting. Not going to get sparks or leave the city. 
hmm i hope i dont have to do the fuckin campaign
!ui
the champion item renown neck.. crit + haste or versa + mastery ?
unless you have 684 haste you want haste
I mean they should’ve focused on the game rather than implementing things that are already done by 3rd parties
And put resources elsewhere
Should i craft or wait?
what do you need to get stronger for rn
I mean, if we craft dagger as first craft regardless might aswell just craft it now, no?
Or whatever craft piece that's recommended
well theres your answer
??
both is fine, if you craft dagger is lowest risk craft
Awesome, thanks Fuu!
which renown vendor?
is offhand dagger still mandatory or is it stat stick in midnight?
Always worth less
u still have sht so yes
Yolo veteran crests on wrists
must be use dagger
thanks, dont remember if sub could equip non dagger in the past and was surprised i could equip an axe
Does fuu does bloodmalet sheet too ?
rogue can equip an axe at least during WotLK
No
kk because bis trinkets are different
liquid will do their own mallet again probably
the simc of bloodmallet has some problem i think
i guess lmao
it's empty for all the classes
minus sub rouge and outlaw
yes, it uses a buggy profile
It had a timewalking trinket in the profile last I saw
does raidbots have a valid profile?
if so, you can just run droptimizer with simc profile
i'm wondering why Guidon is bis then
BIS exists in this game? Actual question
hey what random stats do i put on when crafting my dagger?
mastery haste or mastery crit i would say
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
why is there crit on the off hand instead of haste?
yeah shouldnt there be haste instead of crit
gear doesnt look like its 18% haste yet
For some slots, yes
should i craft farstriders mercy or wait for the phase to release?
Don't take sims as the gospel cause we do have breakpoints and human execution to take into account, anything with haste make sure you understand which breakpoints you are getting and which not
It was not a flame or something, just wondering why, with the current low gear its not releveant idk
Bloodmallet is just bugged, dw about it
If your haste is at breakpoint for 2 extra GCDs in dance guidon gives you an extra GCD with random haste value it might not be worth
Itll get fixed later
getting 18% haste will be the breaking point no ?
Yes and guidon should be very good at that value, reading what eleem says I am not sure if sim is bugged tho
You have to decouple it from dance tho remember that
Will see later then, my guild asked for the bis list on Wowaudit already sooooo ^^'
You can overwrite sims on wowaudit
time to leave that guild if they care about anything before the 17th
Haste on-use from raid + aln

Nop, it's to have an idea about the items for everyone
it's 3 click on radibots its fine
Puzzlebox is alright for big aoe, but not really good for ST
yes, but thats not a thing before tuning
ikr but w/e
I would set it as bis and put a note explaining sim are sketchy right now
tbf i don"t care much about loots
and outlaw is simming 10% / 12 % higher for me atm, dunno if we will play it in the raid tbh
has not been meta in raid for years
Outlaw always sims higher but has a profile that wants Perma uptime or it loses a lot keep that in mind
yeah yeah must used light or heavy mouvement sims
Go back to #outlaw is what it is.
is it normal to have downtime when out of shadow dance or am I playing this class wrong
Yeah it's normal
Mhhh Agility > 18% haste > mastery is better no ?
Outlaw has some downtime too sometimes, but mostly yes
In practice its the same thing
I didnt see How
I would advice you to literally never use those options
Why ?
okay maybe rogue aint for me then
Because they do not represent light or heavy moment fights well
It just randomly prevents the sim from attacking for X seconds at a random interval
In practice you would not cast all of your cooldowns 2 seconds before heavy movement
It's not well represented by a simple > relationship, imagine haste as being almost worthless until you hit 200 then best stat, same fort hitting 18%
Like a stepfunction
hmm guys what are your opinions on veiltouched vs finality where should i put my last point into ?
Hi, learning rogue (sublety) and following a guide to understand everything i dont see mentioned in any part of the guide "Slice and Dice" is it never pressed to boost attack speed? Thanks 😄
Eleem clearly hasn’t seen the tech of sending full blades right before phase changes.
Slice and dice gets applied when you press Evis
Aha, my goat, thanks
guys i am new to retail. have played alot of rogue in classic. going through the gear rn. is it worth to craft Farstrider Mercy rn or should i safe the sparks?
Look at what cut to the chase does
Unless you plan on playing outlaw it’s 99% safe
Just don’t accidentally craft an int dagger
😄 i got the little scroll that gives me guaranteed haste mastery on it
@lilac stag sorry for bothering so much, but should i add an embellishment? didnt see one on any site i visited
Darkmoon sigil hunt
yeah got it now, thanks guys ^^
how did i fuck it up that mine has only ilvl 255? :D
Probably rank 4
Doesnt matter it will be recrafted in a couple weeks
It doesn't require any crests?
At those item levels, no
this is a little bit the case with sub though
timings are so specific you can probably get punished harshly if something happens when you want to dance
and you dont have the freedom to move dance whenever you want it
did anyone craft something with his veteren crests?
question - Doesnt we fuck ourselves if we bind stech to dance if we want to Shadowstrike at 5 stacks to then procc apex?
How are those related
Honestly havnt looked into it at all how to get the st acks

Was just thinking if we wanted to shadow strike prior, thats in dance only or
or am i completly braindead now
You do not need to have the apex up when you press sectech no
The apex doesnt buff sectech by as much as it buffs eviscerate
I can for example make r5 - specced into daggers
did i see correctly that 50 main stat is the best food we can get except the stam / main stat feast for personal hearty food crafts
Those are 50 main stat too
Just like in tww theres no difference between personal food and feast
U can ? From EU or US boi
ah nvm the suggested feast in the guide is stam and secondary
Eu on kazzak
Yo that's my realm
It has to be on your server. Just ask in trade chat and if you’re not getting any responses make an alt of the other race and ask in that chat.
you can spend tens of thousands of gold for feasts to make it hearty or like 25 gold to make hearty personal food
so I made enough to last the xpac lol
Everyone on kazzak is a lil fruity icl
races matter at all? do we have a breakdown for it or send whatever?
@faint quail panda / mecha gnome best - if u are not rwf player go for best mog . this is the chance to play the sickest looking rance while being top sim - PANDA
(female ofc)
thanks a bunch
I have a question. just don't understand how they have Backstab on CDM and not shadowstrike...i know you dont need to track it, but neither do backstab no?
Yeah idk about that one chief
they dont make a lot of sense these days 🙂
Do strike evis a couple times and watch your panda dislocated their shoulder
i call it a kung fun swing
i remember a while back tauren was bis so just was curious
I call it lanky kong returns
they have Sinister strike for outlaw too.. but no SS for sub..i hate it
tbf would you track it if it was there and if so may i ask why?
im just used to it..every other class has their builders in CDM
it gives you no practical info. just makes extra visual noise on your screen.
i understand that...but i'd like to have them... you personally can hide them
like every other class who has its builders on cdm
Bro falls just short of the finish line by saying female panda instead of male
Smh my head
eleem male panda return?
nothing like a petite panda tho

*bites lip
you guys are free to have your own (very wrong) opinion 😤
if you gonna add backastab... just add SS too... or at least make it swap if stealth
elemfluff
Do you want to have shuriken storm in cdm as well?
thicc
is it worth to craft my spark dagger right know? i could recraft it later..
sorry if this has been asked before but anyone using arcui figure out a way to make it so an icon glows after x amount of stacks?
eg: SHT glow when >4 stacks or escalating blade glow when = 4 stacks
Im from EU Archimonde, i’ll give u a teep ok ?
it would be nice to click and open the preview picture on a lightbox so we can actually see how the Ui looks..
i guess that's on wowhead
i could try to photoshop the immages for better contrast
i also thought of adding bcdm/ark to the page, but will need to ask wowhead for permissions first
the page as is is only designed for default imports
Are there not larger images when u scroll down?

Should be a 20 page document guide somewhere on how to minmax so youre a couple of ilvls higher for the first m+ you do
any goodway to track coup the grace when get 4 + stacks from the buildup
you can just track the # of stacks on unseen blade
What are the 2 stats to add to crafted dagger?
I went haste mastery due to my low haste right now.
it can be changed later.. also it wont make a huge difference at this point
i mean to like glow on 4 stacks
- Can be pickpocketed from kobolds in e.g. The Ringing Deeps. (needs The Final Candle questline completed.)
- Only use it on one weapon. (does not stack)
@vale pine ^ 
haha

tell them I said you can craft a dagger
I'm waiting for Tuesday to confirm we get another spark but I've already been telling folks if they're a dual wield class they can craft a 1h weapon, no reason not to unless you just want to save gold
A royal decree to craft my dagger
I'll take it
not in base ui, but you can just macro coup de grace to bp and not even have to track it
^
Ehhhh I’d argue Escalating Blade is one of the few buffs you should be tracking
what is the case for coup/bp macro? when is it being used?
It’s kinda unnecessary but people use it as a one-button-finisher macro in aoe
Casts BP normally then coup when it’s available
Which is not always what you want
But if you want a full brain-off experience it’s there
gotcha, ty
If I have 6-8 seconds left on ST/Dance cooldowns, is it worth it to spend combo points on finisher, or should I save it to use st/dance on cooldown?
nice

fuu you are slacking
Until EllesmereUI is fully functional and takes them all out
its so empty
hey im back with Midnight. Do you play with the Blizz UI now or still use Elvui and Details and other Addons ?
ok so use the ingame Damage Meter ?
yes
Oh elvui works
yes, they released an updated version
Does it have glowing icons? Cant remember
i don't use elvui, sorry
dw
good thing about the first dance is that you need to be out of combat
we getting guted on 17th right? saw a lot of subs rn, they will come for us 🙁
the ancient arts minmax
does this also apply to opener? like if we start opener and dont get aa for the first sec tech, keep striking?
I send whenever the conditions are met
what is there to gut?
udk and demo do 50% more dps than everyone else
they are getting killed.
arms does 25% less dps than everyone else
demo is insane
sub is by no means an outlier
I'd be very surprised if we catch any kind of substantive nerf
sub looks good in m0 rn because everything dies in your dance window
good spec, but i dont think its getting touched
only assa will get buffed tbh
other 2 specs will stay the same
a st buff and aoe nerf would be fine for sub
i doubt they give sub decent st if its meant to be the burst aoe spec
Trickster sub might get tuned down and DS will get buffed
might be a coincidence but the best split-cleave casters are also the worst in st
seems like the pattern
yeah hopefully this is accompanied with a mark reversion
60% plink spriest turbo ass in st
surely it will not get buffed into thanos tier
25% aura -> 10% plink nerf -> 3x on 6/9 fights
plink is dangerous to tune
i think blizzard learned their lessions with plink
lessons*
they do keep proportionally nerfing bf every time they buff outlaw
surely the same principles are applied
OL is our highest ST at the time being yeah?
in sims yes
well those bf nerfs were required to power plink

blood for the blood god
shadow is slowly absorbing all cleave in the game
80% plink next patch after another bf nerf
As a Sub rogue, do I scale with magic damage on my shadow damage or just all physical scaling?
As an example, would the Chaos Brand debuff increase my damage?
magic damage buffs increase your shadow damage yes
p for the plink god 
there are some mildly strange interactions, like shadow damage cleaving as physical with nimble so the cleaved damage benefits from mystic touch
i think
Ty kindly Ryldd 👍
is there anyway to track when unseen blade is up and going to proc when we strike or backstab or shuriken?
idk tracking first dance is a none issue. I have it since beta. You just need to set amount of x seconds out of combat and let a timer run. Do it +1 sec then actually first dance needs and your gucci
whats the cancel macro that will allow me to restealth im still in shadow dance?
#showtooltip Stealth
/cancelaura [nocombat] Shadow Dance
/cast !Stealth
thanks!
why are sub rogues best races fuckin dwarf and tauren... tauren shouldnt be able to be rogues theres nothing sneaky about them
Yep but i couldnt find anything and i hadnt it haha
no its hidden
you know your next 2 builder casts after sectec will because of disorienting strikes but that is also hidden
shameless plug use my addon 
it does not matter
msuf been good to me 
it always matters
also best races are mechagnome/panda/orc rn
not according to bloodmallet
bloodmallet is wrong
If I have to prog raid a boss for like 300 pulls and it has to be a tauren for 1% more dps id jump out of the window
i still like my b.elf, i can destroy shields if needed :x
yes trust 1 source while apls are being worked! It matters
the profile bloodmallet has for sub is a bit messed up
it somehow acquired 18000 mastery and sims like 70k above bis so weird things are happening
the difference between race highly depends on the content you do. Dwarf is op in m+
For raid it really doesnt matter since no boss is pure st etc
yeah you can then stand even deeper in the **** of the boss 😄
turns out crit damage is good
always has been tbh
!fuu

hey
how do you guys track ancient arts, or you dont?
that I do not know, I came in here to ask how sub's doing
i'm thinking of making a rogue alt
idk anything about this class 
its great so far
ok
I just didn't know if it was int to play sub or not, I know heroic/mythic week tuning is pending but just curious
How are you guys finding sub so far?
I love it
Yeah feels fun! Thought the pruning would kill it for me but I actually don’t mind it that much if I’m honest. Feels satisfying to press the buttons
Dance into sectec still feels juicy to press
we have some prelim bloodmallet stuff saying one of our best trinkets is gonna be the Void darkmoon deck?
does that seem right?
well for me i look at my sht sometimes or i look at the black lines on mh screen
!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. Some popular Addons (like ElvUI) disable these by default.
is there a way to see detailed damage distribution eg % of shadow damage done in raidbots?
thx a lot
no prob
Am I understanding wrong? Coup de grace is a passive but why are we macroing it?
you mean with black powder?
Yeah
Because you use it in AOE still
So if you macro it with black powder whenever coup becomes active, when you try to go black powder to spend your CP points you'll get coup instead without having to worry about it
and with the macro if it's not active, you get black powder like you normally would instead
So we're casting a passive instead of casting black powder with the macro?
I'm confused cause coup de grace isn't a skill on my bar
coup is was eviscerate becomes when it's active but the macro specifically checks for coup and not evi
evi turns into coup
Ahh okay that makes sense
when it's active
Also make sure you're targeting when using AOE still
Alot of times I'd just go shuriken - bp without targeting but the problem is that doesnt work with coup
so if you're just using the AOE without a target and coup comes up nothing will come out unless you're targeting an enemy
Ah okay
Also is it coup de grace that's refunding my combo points?
Oh wait no it's ancient arts
No that's shadow techniques
Ancient arts generates a shadow at 20 percent in conjunction when you draw from shadow techniques bank of stored CP
20 percent chance*
Or my bad
when you strike with 5 Cp ready
Hey i just recently got into retail again. i got a few questions about the crafted dagger, i already crafted if with random stats at 249. Can i later on recraft it to higher ilvl? (285) and which stats would be best for them? Mastery Haste? not sure if the dagger wille be the item tipping over 18~19% haste so not sure if i want mastery crit or haste for the recraft
Wait im getting myself confused now lmao
So when you expend combo points and it draws from shadow techs bank of CP you get a 15 percent chance per point to generate the shadow
I'm noticing I'm getting the cp refund when I have these bars
Is that right or is it just a coincidence
That's correct
What passive am I missing
I'm basically a new player trying to explain something to a new rogue player
lmao
Apex
Last apex talent
Oh the strike yeah
Does it actually generate them or does it just steal them from the pool of shadow techniques?
that's what I was never sure about
I feel like its worded weirdly
That's so blizzard can keep us on our feet
I mean it's kinda feedback loop ability right
