Outlaw isnt really like that anymore tbh
way easier now than in tww tbf
It is kinda just ss dispatch sim
oh yeah for sure, but still
wait so all 3 rogue specs are builder spender bot?
Press secret between the techinques eyes every 20ish seconds
i should try it again
idk i played mostly outlaw in m0s today, it was alright and I had some fun as I got more used to all of the things I had to juggle
it’s a builder spender class. 
Only procs as outlaw now are opportunity procs and the apex you dont react to but track
their apex is the bullet up their sleeves or something that gives you free bte procs right?
And the thing about opportunity is you never reaaaalllly reacted to it
Yeah its the palmed bullets
245ilvl will do ready for raid next week
picking up rogue for this expac and maining sub, do i not need to worry about slice and dice?
eviscerate applies it (cut to the chase passive in your spellbook)
ahhh thanks i boosted so trying to get it figured out lol hadnt played rogue since BFA
Hello people. Is sub viable for raiding or is outlaw way ahead?
Sub unplayable, it's 10% behind in st sims
Which are always a great indicator for raid performance
XD

And there won't be a big balance patch next reset
sub, sin and outlaw are viable in raid
how competitive each spec is
lets wait for tuning
It’s over for Sub, it’s all over
Just kidding but realistically it should be okay. Really we are just waiting for tuning
Tf u talking about? Frost mages simmed 500k more than arcane + fire last tier and no one played it
Same with outlaw for ST yet no one on top 50
that was sarcasm slickz
bro with how much arms is picked on, soon it'll be arm, singular
guys a quick question, how many targets to decide between black powder and evisc?
p sure it's just 2+
is this the tuning sub was hoping for?
so 2 targets is enough for BP being better?
well BP is literally 60% of Evis, so it will be better on 2 targets
yeah sounded too low, had to confirm. amazing BP
just wanted to say thank you to all the people here, this place has been super helpful for a returner like me
Wb king 
Asked this earlier but didn’t get a response.
what food are you guys using? On Wowhead they say calimari but it gives 59 haste and costs 200+ gold. Fel-kissed filets cost 2 gold to make and give the same haste... but do we even want haste? Impossibly royal roast gives 50 agi which should be >>> than haste. Am i missing something here?

#themove #wowpvp #pikaboo
you heard it here first, pikaboo says sub rogue feels like the best rotation in the game
50 agility is the best yes
Thanks!
It was gna be my spec of choice to alt outside of sub... that has changed of course 😭😭😭
granted the way he feels will change on a dime
Then Pika should vibe with outlaw!
can cold blood shut up
No! Enjoy your frosty hand 24/7
also wheres tfd buff tracking smh
Pretty sure he only streams arena
wasn't added so far
iseewhatyoudidthere
he's actually mostly a classic streamer now
i assume he hopped on that bandwagon because you get WAY more viewers than retail
That was the pvp streamer pipeline
he's one of the top classic streamers
he was doing hardcore for a long time because that's kinda a hack for viewership
It also fits his personality, he's got a unique kind of energy for entertainment
the commentary on what hes going to do while he was doing it in pvp was peak entertainment
he takes drugs to stay energized for the stream like most of the streamers streaming long hours do xD
#wowclassic #wow #wowwotlk
Insane edit
i love that clip
bro was rapping while clapping enemys xD
yeah he's by far the best pvper to watch
Idk if I’ve watched a pvp stream since like…Cata Reckful or Hoodrych lol
his super aggressive style of playing is so fun to watch
i don't watch regularly but i like to check it out from time to time
i think the level of play they're doing is more than RWF raiders i'm gonna be real
it's 2 different things, but i think the upper ranks of pvp is crazy intense
Ofc, raid mechanics are a timeline, players adapt vs players.
yeah exactly
Top level PvP is probably more moment to moment decision making with really tight timing
And super variable
Your game sense has to be at a whole different level
Not to mention the understanding of every class/spec and combos you have to have
Ye 100%
it's a lot
plus to top it all them chasing pvp title makes M+ title look like kindergarten
And most of them cut their teeth without any addons or auras to help bc they weren’t allowed in tournaments
At least from the generation I watched
yeah pikaboo plays with 0 addons
I think part of it is different tho, an M+ team will slam their head into the same key over and over to actually time it, in arenas you just Go Next™. V different mentally
pushing M+ is a marathon
you need a great deal of stamina for it
what sound channel do the CDM audio alerts play through
In PvP you lose rating though, the glad push of trying to get 2.4k and then dropping to 2.1 is a ritual most go through
Imagine losing m+ rating
yeah that's the thing that makes it way harder
not sure but you can figure it out by turning off each channel then testing
not in game or i would check for you
oh interesting
maybe their thinking is there's no reason to have them off
its tied to master
if you didn't want to hear them you wouldn't set the alerts
sadly i don't like most of the cdm sounds
i like maybe 4-5 of them
I got the soul trinket and god damn are they hard to spot, may just use the void one just to not deal with that
yea was just an iossue of them being too quiet relative to the other sound effects
you could just turn down the master?
maybe
or turn down all the other effects
ya thats what i ended up doing
turns everything down so its the same levels just quiter
jkust turned down everything else and turned up master slioghtly to b alance
hrm awkward
yea it is awkward
honestly not sure if i preff the spell alert over the buff
ik dont think it matters that much for sub
but i used audio cues heavily for outlaw
and was just explkoring the system
i really like audio cues
when the spec is more on rails its whatyever
i'm sad you can't set them to coup
you get used to the flow
yea i was just trying that
having it go off for every stack of escalating is pretty wack
the entire coup thing in the cdm is so weird
btw does hold and cast not work for instant spells?
it's so strangely done
have it enabled but if i just stand on a dummy and hold 1 (backstab) its only gets casts once and then never again
had no idea this was a thing tbh
anyone know why the 233 doesnt upgrade to 237 for free?
wait until the ground is darker and everything is happening at the same time so you cant see the ( ) anymore xd
Só I understand that haste lowers Sec Tech CD but why would we need that certain % of haste? To have all SD line up with it?
The dance duration scales with haste now. You can get more gcds in it with more haste
thats why i asked about the ptr sub balance changes not the once for next week
must not need balance changes on ptr 
Thanks!
We are not warriors
Dual wielders dont get free upgrades like that
Yep, sub is fixed now, certified S tier dps in raid and M+ now
do I get it right that we actually use black powder?
im used to just spamming evis in aoe cause of nimble flurry
But outlaw seen to be on top, by the simcraft logs
only coup does
bruh
well you can try as outlaw maybe you do better
no way to know until we actually hit the raid
soon as shadow blades falls off i go from 1 to last in long fights 😛 but i guess thats as expected
I considered trying outlaw but ive been sub for 10 years
but idk the 3 buttons gone from midnight seem boring af so far
yea now most of the skill is on using your few buttons
Im always top dps in my groups have you tried getting gud?
hmm u know i haven't thought about that maybe I should try.
grants yes most time im at top... but then an undegeared mage pops in and blows me outta the water, ha
Do you have a way to have find weakness visible in the cooldown manager?
For PVP, if I'm not going to reach the 18-20% breakpoint to get an extra global during dance, is it acceptable to just have below 3% haste?
Are we cooked in m+ all we bring is dam
been like that since forever
And speed shroud
Hello. 
And group sneaky sneak!
Hasn't this been the case literally forever though? AOE sneak and non-boss stunlock is all we have ever offered outside of damage
And group coolness factor
Its the same thing as Ret paladin, the perk is we are melee dps that is less likely to die than other melee dps.
Dunno I’m new to rogue
Speed shroud is nice but no one even knows it exists anymore because of all the sentries blizzard placed in dungeons to prevent stealth skips
I’m having fun but it was a genuine question because I like the class fantasy so I’m trying something new after ret since 2011
We bring a kick, damage, single target stuns, and a short CD single target blind. Also never underestimate the value of 1 hour tricks of the trade. If you have a tank with threat issues it's simply not your problem
Yeah I noticed you can snipe mobs in m0with perma tricks before other dps can
hey guys how is sub feelin in m0?
i r outlaw main, i use shadow blades on bosses only. with that said pretty frigging solid honestly
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Also don't forget about Feint and Cloak of Shadows. I haven't been diving deep into Midnight encounters yet but previously you soaking stuff could help a lot in certain encounters
We lost ranged AOE and the shroud skips are a thing of the past.
If tuning isn’t there, cooked
why are shroud skips a thing of the past?
Routes are more direct to make tanking easier.
Every pack has truesight
is that just a hyperbole or a actualy m+ change?
I know its been discussed 4 million times, I am only using Shadowstrike during SD until AA procs, once AA procs i can use evis correct?
If it’s been discussed 4 million times, did you search for it?
That's been reality for a good while now
asking for a friend.
last time i played was WoD so not uptodate on all the m+ changes
sadge then, liked shorud skips and doing them nonstop in m0 rn
There are some shroud skips, but they're pretty low value. Definitely not a big reason to bring a rogue.
shround was legit just a speed boost last season, and now we really can’t even take that talent. 
in den of nalorak and maisara caverns they kinda big imo
you can skip all bears to last boss in nalroak and the big bridge before last boss in maisara
those bears ahve eyes
yea you could but rather skip all the casters before that lol
m0 means nothing. Routing will get done around pull count and efficiency. routes won’t get planned around a rogue, unless you’re running with a consistent group.
on that bridge i sually just do the first 3 pack and then run to the boss
and most people worry about using LfG
skipping everything else
do we honor the apex proc on AOE or we double dump with BP

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 during lust.
You can use the AA proc for priority target dmg. That’s about it.
doesnt say 3 or less targets in !aa i guess
Our tc should have stayed out of the kitchen
wouldn't base sub rota be way to boring without
It’ll change again. Season hasn’t even started yet.
Hey guys,
I wanted to know what you think will be the best potion for M+?
Primary stat?
Primary stat ++ but with the silence zones?
Secondary stat?
I feel like the primary stat with the silence zones might be stronger, because there’s almost a 100 agility difference between the two and that seems huge to me! But is it actually okay to use in practice?
Does the secondary stat potion really have a meaningful impact?
Hey guys, what do we want to craft with sparks? Dagger and?
you can try the silence potion if you can move when it spawns well
but sometimes it can be a pita
dagger and then a leather piece where we have strong value
you can craft the tier offset you are not using like pants
or go for belt/wrists in case you got lucky on got lots of M gear in the big budget places
I see thanks
hi guys, quick question, this works with the Erratic (void) trinket in every dungeon? or just in Voidstorm
do we know if and when the trinket works propperly in the raidbots sim?
Wait, we only do this during lust now?
hi guys, first dance wants me 6 sec out of combat, but in m0 there are no 6 sec. what to skill?
kk
Easier in some keys than others
sometimes you also just take the L
it can take forever to start the countdown
and on some boss pulls even while you're still in stealth it just auto cancels the countdown
@hazy breach can you reword this part since it confuses people? #subtlety-faq message Something like "Ignore this optimisation in AoE/3+ targets, and use Shuriken Storm instead" would be more clear
does shadowmeld -> stealth give the energy benefits of Master of Shadows? Seems like it doesn't when i'm testing it on dummies
Well that implies that you do the optimization just with storm instead
But either way im changing that later today
thanks 
In m+ where combat drops are less frequent and pulls last longer you could opt for 1x finality instead of tfd. Makes your opener worse however.
anyone know about this?

So we are only apexmaxxing during lust now?
Ok I understand.
But vs increase secondary stat? Which is better? Potential light or the other?
Or was that always the case and I am just dumb
primary is always better early seasons
usually
No it’s a new thing
But it’s only 0.2% so not worth using any mental load on imo
Wait til people start figuring out the priority dmg use. 
Spender or finisher in lust you pretty much can’t go wrong it seems
Unless you already have aa
@swift tinsel the 🐐 is back https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/rogue-feedback-thread-for-patch-1205/2271246
he's only 5 posts from 25k too 
holy shit he's been consolidating his power into one big post
just the break I needed from transcribing
"I’d say it would feel better if we had a 5% nerf inside Shado1w Dance for a 15~20% buff OUTSIDE of shadow dance." one of the replies has an...interesting idea
and yeah his takes were pretty tame
this time
Lingering shadows.... gloomblade.....
1million gloomblade crits 800k evis crits...."
He ain’t wrong though df was so much fun
Maybe not sub 
But the game was fun in s3 and s1-2 prior to the Aug incident
holy i need that emote
Is it Arcanoweave Lining and Darkmoon hunt we use for embellisments?
Which two first crafting recipes do you recommend making: a cape and bracers?
with current build trickster, do we go into cds with combo points or not? what was the preferred?
what do they mean in the FAQ when they say: "Cast
to spend combo points when you have 6 or more." like utilize the passive?
6 combo points
As an ex feral druid he is my goat
6 roll the bones buffs
is there a way to override the drum of renewed bonds to a different stat in simc
maybe @vale pine knows?
i dont wanna fly around and check what stat is best im assuming mastery but id rather just sim quick and check
don't think there is a sim condition for it sadly
you can usually find those here
@fur With the recent Tuning post is that added Dark Shadow to the 10% exciting one??
If Secret technique just came off cd and i dont have shadow dance for another 6s, do i wait for shadow dance to use it or just send it?
wait for it but sec tech should always be up with dance unless u did something wrong
It was only a spelling correction if we are talking about the same
yeah i notice now lolol
Coup apex damage in game delay 0.5s?
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
coup has 0.2 sec
and your first cast in dance typically has 0.1 sec, especially if its strike
whats the command for the addon recommendations
addons for uis?
oh thought there was something ppl were doing the other day for UI help
all fine
seem outdated though in outlaw? shows wangbar still when arcui can fully replace wangbar
but you should prob try few out and see which work best for you imo
What about people not using arcui
haven't heard of that no
it was the recommended for feral
but the design gives me healbot vibes 
Also Wangbar is maintained by one of the guys in Outlaw
some use better cooldown manager
Hey guys, Can i log my rotation on dummies with warcraft logs?
some use the default cooldown manager and sensai bar
ahhh, i thought wangbar was a universal one but for some reason only works on rogue
By rogue for rogue
which isn't ideal
Yeah I’ve hopped around so damn many trying them out
used it at first, i think he the dev wants to make it universal but only has it for rogues rn
Only to find bugs that make me want to keep hopping around
bahahah didnt even notice that part
i love it tho its nice
i gotta set up and show my new UI to the new guild in a couple days so its time to play around with stuff
Initially it was to beat the cp delay that Sensei had
wangbar is from the community, its nice to highlight community creations
And just make a good cp/energy addon
i rly disslike sensei bar in terms of functionality and visuals
yea i swapped off BCDM cuz i was having delay
Same
Sensei was just the first one a lot of people came across
In prepatch, alpha etc
Bc it was one of the only ones that actually worked lol
Is Glyph of detection not a thing anymore???
im just using arc for all atm
no delay?
in m0 sofar not
i like arc over bcdm i feel like its way more customizable
in open world yeah a bit but the whole game seems to lagg
will have to wait till raids are open to see performance
Abundance got nerfed quite hard and the lagg was reduced
im hoping if its cool in 0s its cool in raid since its still instanced
tbf i have a somewhat weak pc build so i'm trying to reduce numbers of addons
hell of a typo
fixed
its ok i hate sensei too
@vale pine when you do the wowhead guides, can you create the tables no your own or are they preset ?
current EUI iteration, still getting things ironed out
It depends, the best in slot table is pre defined.
But i have some freedom to change things, would need to ask if adding specific things is allowed given the instructions of the page
but if you want to ask something specific, just ask
Was wondering if the source could be split into 2 columns, Raid/dungeon and then boss name for a faster overview
there will be a season update on wowhead with some new pages, including one for m+
which will include
moment
ill show you
a list of items from specific dungeons
i just noticed i need to fix something as its currently only showing one item
when it should show up to 3 ^^
the list above from the gear page should have the boss names in it
wowhead decided to scrap the 2 tabs for "from raid" and "drom m+" in favor of the current layout
you mean the one i posted?
or your m+ gear collection list?
yes both
essentially the "bis" gear list will be in the gear secion
and a "good items from m+" list in the m+ section, which will release soon-ish
its shows the boss names of raids (not the raid unless hovred) and for the m+ just the dungeon name no boss name even if hovored
m+ you can't decide on dungeons
you can copy paste the drum text and change the bonus_id to begin with 13183, 13184, 13185, and 13186
the string is different per ilvl but the bonus_id determines the buff
this a buff in upcoming patch or just a tooltip fix?
Subtlety
Talents (1)
Dark Shadow Shadow Dance increases all ability damage by 5%, and Shadowstrike and ShruikenShuriken Storm damage by an additional 5%.
Rank 1: Shadow Dance increases all ability damage by 5%, and Shadowstrike and ShruikenShuriken Storm damage by an additional 5%.
Rank 2: Shadow Dance increases all ability damage by 10%, and Shadowstrike and ShruikenShuriken Storm damage by an additional 10%.
alright, fixed it ^^
"can you fix the speeling on that tooltip?"
"oh, shru-i-ken"

@vale pine can you put de link?
ou ahhahaha
i just leaked it because someone asked for m+ item lists
that a good leaked
!loot
i could look into doing sth like this again
for mythic release
(because m+ does not open before that)
(maybe better visuals, the above isn't bad but looks not that professional)
this was nice
Hi! Anyone can help me with this?
Wowhead says that early crafts will be nice to be de dagger+ belt. But it really makes sense due to the fact that Belt is one of the champio "gifted" pieces and the very first crafts will be same track in the best of cases due to crests and sparks issue the first day?? Wouldnt be better to craft dagger + boots??
you realistically will just use any slot you miss
it does not matter
your gear currently is also limited
you will replace almost everything next week or the week after
Are we supposed to get 2 sparks this week? I want to craft belt or ring this week but in my bags i only have one, wheras in my currency tab it shows 2. 👀
we get one with reset
so we only have one craft this week
means, you can ONLY craft a dagger
What should my first crafting and with which embellishment?
dagger?
craft without spark
I thought previous week was 2 sparks and this week as well, so we could get 2 crafted items
!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 during lust.
But should we go with 2 emb for raid. So 1 spark dagger and 1 veteran embellised piece?
going forward its always one a week
What does Only during lust mean, so we don't do this logic always?! lol
exactly
oh jeeze
first week had a quest for a 2nd spark
you are on 3 sparks this week
but a craft costs 2 sparks
Ah roger
soo you can only do one
but you can do a 2nd craft after reset
when getting your spark
@vale pine my first carft wold be a dagger? with what embellishment? 😛
its worth craft now?
and see if there will be tuning
Was this to me, or the spark question
there is always the chance that a early craft send is bad
but dagger is very low risk to be that
thanks fuu ❤️
12.0.5 has no changes in ptr for us right?
there might be some small optimizations around supercharger, playing around bloodlust is very low impact and i would just not play around it atm
some typo fixes
i don't know that sadly
i think there is something for catch up with the spark dust but not completely sure how it works. radiant spark dust
Pretty sure you just play the game and they drop, just like in tww
!ui
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is there any point in using vanish during dance now or is it used outside of dance
outside
I know there's been times in the past where we used it during so wanted to make sure
damn, i'm dumb. looking at this sim only using SD when Stech is up, but I was sending it one in between Stech cooldown
gameplay for what its worth got a lot easier
you send 2 during blades
else with secret
so it just lines up towards the end as you vanish after the first SD ends
gotcha
I guess I wasn't paying attention at first and thought I had enough SBlades timer to send 3, but I'm clearly wrong.
Woops I've been doing the same
Everything seems to line up pretty well like that I thought?
we just don't have Shadow Blades still running by the 3rd if we're not ready immediately when STech comes off
things line up decently well
the main thing to "learn" is how to handle the desync between blades and dance cooldown
Hey is it a sim bug or can we proc the Blessed pango charm embellish with something ? (it currently sim second best embellish on me xD)
do you think heroic tuning notes will release today or monday?
what exactly counts as shadow tecniques? https://i.imgur.com/hH6ONuX.png
ahh i forgot to check passives...
what extends shadow blades to 20 seconds?
wait that rocks, where can i find these people and how foolish are they with their gold
why do people do groups for delves anways when tier 7 is the max and you can half afk that shit
It's possibly quicker and people like doing stuff together
yeah during tww my friends and i would spend our coffer keys together before doing our m+ for the day
are tier 8 significantly harder then tier 7 ?
nah its just more fun than multiple people sitting in a call all doing their own delves
that was not my question though
as far as needing to buy a carry to do it, idk
just when tier 8 releases if its a big difficutly spike
it didnt feel different in tww going from 7 to 8
I mean go carry them, sounds like easy money
pays better than pinnacle chests!
wasn't boosting banned or something?
Omg hi Sena
I love your clips
@vale pine sorry for tagging, but what increases shadow blades to last for 20 seconds in the sim?
tier set
boosting for rating yeah but i think itd be crazy if someone got banned for doing a delve carry
ooooooooooooooooooooo
I don't think anything you can do right now even counts as boosting
my king
tier set 4p
i apologize
Heck I don't have my tier set yet 
i was checking everything but the tier. i'm sorry dudes.
hi and thanks^^
appreciation always feels nice
I thought i was in the wrong discord seeing u here
all fine, you did nothing wrong
back to my rogue roots
now that i don't ahve to put out 3x purple yuri a day
final can relax
no subterfuge feels so weird
Until the next NA trip then it's back to the mines
it's nice not wanting to kms when i don't get restealth between packs, but god it's strange
oh i'm still in the mines for 3 vids and 2 shorts a day^^
but without too sensitive topics its easier and faster^^
btw guys. how does sub feel in the m0's so far compared to outlaw/assa?
sub feels amazing in m0.
I cant imagine playing sin in m0s
It can feel kinda boring outside dance since it's just storm BP spam but with 20s dance cd it's pretty fun
Can I tell my Shadowblade macro to make my character use the Raid Potions first and only use my own when they are empty?
If you put them in order in ur macro it should use the first one listed and if you're out it'll auto use the next one instead
Does it work with spell ID ?
It should do. I did it like that in dragonflight
Ok thank you
Surprisingly wasnt that bad if your tank gigapulled
Youd just start dot spreading on gather and then by the time its all rdy to go its all dotted up
I just turned off crippling
Lol
Did I read right that not crippling is a loss
Some fb talent or something
I thought whispyr said something about that like -1%
Its lethal dose
Has that always been the case LOL
I knew that
I wasn’t not running crippling in s2 because it made packs annoying to group
can I use a non-dagger off-hand? My abilities work as far as I can tell, but don't know if I'm missing something non obvious damage procs.
!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.
Got it, thank you.
nice(ish)
Put on a very slightly crappier ring 
are the sims accurate? im 241 simming 40k under the unholy dk in our guild lol
stats
Well blizzard didnt do class tuning
Youre probably simming less than guardian too, because bis profiles certainly do
Unholy is one of the few specs that do more than guardian
bro get more haste
if u are not at 20% already its TOO LATE
sadge
If youre not 68.69% (687 rating) haste are you even trying
i know this isnt news. but as someone really trying to give sub a chance which i am having fun. we really dont do any dmg unless in shadow dance. or im bad idk lol.
No that’s the design of sub
noooo i was hoping i was just bad lol. just trying to quest at 87. i can burst everything down, but if im being lazy and dont press dance its like hitting with a pool noodle lol.
You literally do nothing if not in dance
I mean you can always make an open world build of sorts
Maximizing gloomblade dmg
i should be okay i just always thought it was a minor decrease and just a joke in a way. but through lvling im like nope gotta keep dancing.
No, between the Regen and dance effects SS alone is like 3x backstab
The aoe rotation also is getting to me a bit lol. but i could be doing somthing wrong.
Ye but he wants dmg outside of dance while lvling
It doesn't exist, it's counter to subs design
Why would you want that? Sub ls pacing is pretty great for leveling.
Idk maybe just take subterfuge?
It does if you lean into what I wrote - it’s not optimal by any means
Just level as Assa at that point imo
I'd try subterfuge if he was in love with Sub. From stealth most small mobs will just die to strike + Evis.
He said he's 87, he's hitting the point with scaling that it prob won't be enough
ill be okay its not the end of the world. just dont have rogue friends so had no one else to really vent the lightbulb moment i had with the spec lol
Do you have the two charges of dance talent?
I feel like sub feels great to level with compared to ol or sin.
Fire off a dance before you more to the next pack. Have 2 charge combo points stored. Then open with dance + Sectech and you’ll be able to blow everything up with 4 supercharged finishers.
its optimal cause then in the downtime u focus on mechanics and are livelord and u r the mvp of the guild
when coup comes up and i'm about to go in dance the next global, whats the correct follow up:
- dance - coup or -dance - sectech ?
Sectech first
then macro it is 
I think the mentra is "sectec asap" unless you are close to the next sb window
jesus christ I just realized that the worst feeling I have when playing sub is during dungeons
what, you don't like spaming 2bind?
it just feels so ass and boring, just shuriken into black powder spam with st when it's not on cd
dude it's crazy... in world while leveling it feels good with stealth and 1shotting things and I really like the new clones direction
peak s tier gameplay x)
but I stg when I enter a dungeon it just feels so ass
this is my experience as well
on my enha it’s reverse

Robot do that, I guess we still need to track unseen blade stacks then
Did already but that's not what I'm talking about lol
if you have coup ready and sectec comes off CD in 2.2, sequence is Dance+Coup > SS > SecTec instead of sending sectec first
oh. not sure if it does a big diff now? idk
Already thought that but seems like robot confirms
Meaning?
Like what
idk the diff, will see what our simcrafters think but on paper you don't waste UB stacks = good
I will campaign to have my username recognized beyond borders of Azeroth
Since we are basically a 2 button spec now, tracking something adds a lil more depth
But if it's like 1% that will be disappointing lol
definitly not as important as tww with the CD reduction
diff might still be relevant since coup gives us 5 stacks of flawless form = +20% dmg on sec tec
sounds huge tbf
Flawless caps on 5 stacks and its gonna be close to 100% uptime on that
alright I'll use my brain too then, you convinced me
WHAT
I wasn't aware of that ><
RIP the lucky 20+ stacks depending on procs at the end of TWW
Each stack isnt independant either
Like it was in tww
So if you have 5 stacks, and then proc it again
You refresh all 5 stacks
Oh okay
Which is why its pretty much 100% uptime on 5 stacks
Barring leaving melee range for an extended period ofc
alright thx
It's probably pretty close to neutral based on back of the napkin calcs though, no?
If anything I'd expect a DPS loss?
SecTec scales so hard off of supercharger, you're increasing it's damage by 42%, but you're only increasing your damage on coup by 25% on supercharger.
And SecTec does more damage than Coup as it is?
Maybe it lets you get an extra coup in dance pending RNG.
ok so I forget this unseen blade tracking thing
back to the 2 button puppet
what a journey
Idk, I could be wrong.
can you link this sim
based on the 3m21s timer i would guess that sectec just wasnt up and this was the second dance in blades
it shouldnt be couping first
I thought with 2 super charged combo points you dumped both?
Maybe I'm out to lunch though, haven't really paid attention to it.
But I could see it advantageous to try and dump a coup sightly before dance - might get you more coups overall & more unseen classes.
Not sure I understood this very well, but sure thing is the 2 next finishers are supercharged when entering dance, or am I missing something
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
No you’re right
yeah sectec wasnt up
I check it and it's not the second dance during blade. I mean the robot doesn't even send a second dance during blades lmao
you dont want to coup first gcd especially because you can't apex it
except with bl
sectec -> strike always procs aa -> usually into coup
ha kk hope it will get fixed before the Last Titan 🥸 🥸
but you're probably not going to apex coup there either unless u pooled sht
it has blades during that second dance
hmmm what if going into dance with <2 cp + coup tho?
Wdym bruv
y
3:05-3:25 its in sblades
that's prob fine but again still might not apex coup
and you should only do that with sectec cd being 4s
or else u waste cd

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.
I guess this wont really happen with our APL since you’ll never get the 5 sht stacks to proc aa
3, storm (3) , coup (2), strike (1) sec tec (0)
!
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Too cool
😂
Maybe legit though it's an optimization to track coup vs sectec and try and stop your unseen blades from not counting towards new coup timers.
If you sectec with coup up you waste those two stacks to upgrade Eviscerate.
you only waste 1 generally
What if we shiv after sec tech to avoid using it
that's "a third" of a Coup proc
it's okay
what if we supercharge slice and dice
very slight loss in st, very slight gain in multi
Yeah strike does too much for it to be worth in st ig
hmm actually think that was before coup clones nimbled
its probably decent in multi now
what if we supercharge kidney shot
Even still. If that's over 5 minutes, that's potentially 4 extra coups you can use instead of Eviscerate.
You’ll miss out on AA realistically every time though
Likely not world changing but could be an optimization.
Not sure.
I mean if apex + prem bug is not fixed by the raid is released, my grandma will explode
ye that is not getting fixed
devs, save my grandma please
Going through it in my head there are almost no ways to go into dance with coup and aa without something conflicting
been a bug for expacs at this point
I'm not even saying force coup+aa into dance persay - more that make sure you don't have coup up before you press sectec. Ideally without wasting any sectec cd time, whether that's in dance or not.
also i tried simming this a while back, was one of the first things i looked at long ago. things have changed a lot but it was neutral at best if everything aligned perfectly and you perfectly timed your dance exact correct time before sectec
and that was before sectec gave sht
idk its cooked, feels bad losing the unseen blade stacks
it is what it is
"Developpers comment : Coup de grâce has been a really fun way of adding depth to the subtlety rogue rotation. Though it turned out that this hero talent tree is too buggy, so we took the tough decision to disable Trickster and we plan to rework it for The Last Titan release"
big coup clone damage wowza
we can take solace in the fact that losing the tww3 tier set/flawless form nerfs means unseen blade stacks are worth like 1/6 of what they used to be
Hmm.
Yeah. Even theoretically I guess it's likely a lot of work for minimal gain.
Even if it wasn't neutral.
New hero talent: Deathster.
New ability: Unseen Mark
I ask that question a lot
Usually goes and hides for a minute if i dn something as it dies...
Does kind of make sense that is neutral though. Because maybe you get a few more coups, but they're also less likely to be in dance/blades.
Ya you realistically always sacrifice something when trying to optimize for it I feel
Even if it’s a tiny sacrifice it pretty much neutralizes everything you gained since it’s just 1 unseen blade you’re optimizing for
Still find it weird that shiv optimization isn’t better though
ye but lash should make up for a lot of that no?
Eh
lash from danse
If you've got apl lying around, I'd be curious to see. Haha.
it helps. remember that a guaranteed crit storm with a danse lash is just about equal to strike
so shiv is def worse
Strike just way more damage than lash.
And wish taking Shiv realistically means you're losing damage elsewhere, no?
Eh maybe not. Could make it work.
I asked question earlier about secret tech and shadow dance not aligning - if my shadow tech comes up but i don’t have a shadow dance ready for another 6s, if i should wait with the s.tech or not, and someone told me - “if they are not always aligned im not playing properly”
My question is how are they supposed yo align if s.tech has a dynamic cd, and the first part if i should hold s.tech
cheater procced a clone
Is there a world where we don’t invest into the 15% crit on storm + storm procs unseen in st?
Just proc a shiv clone 🙂
Oh gg
but 15% crit on storm is ass in st
you aren't storming more than once a dance anyway
the FW might be slightly relevant idk probably not
ephemeral almost certainly better in pure st
Theres some cook with storm before dance to proc coldblood but idk if its real
hmm
It is but it was very slight
Maybe in a world where pooling and afk a few gcds comes up
Youd storm proc cb and pool
But not current sub
Without tracking cold blood it was 0.1% loss doing it before every sectec iirc
0.3% perfectly tracking it if not 0.2%
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
oh wow lmao
Idk silent storm itself is barely outside margin even in aoe
did they forget us in patch notes or something
Wow pog my average crit chance goes from 75% to 85%
On a spell thats doing 2% of my damage
Yeah thats why i say not in this current sub, in a pooling world id think its good
Patchnotes arent out
i saw some notes with warrior changes, are there more changes coming?
Those are for ptr, not tuesday
Old sub would prob do it ye
Probably
hello can someone explain to me like im 12 how to optimize AA usage? i read that its only important during lust
Lots of stuff have been swapping around because of random sim reasons. But latest info is: Make sure your supercharged finisher that isnt sectech gets apex
Ooh. How much gain?
Idk if the masses knew that one yet
Not much, just way simpler than the BL one
Didnt u have it at .6% or was that different context?
Ye
I mean worth it.
Ye
Relatively easy.
Waiting to see if tuning bricks it
Haha literally tho
Imagine they buff apex clones to 90%
Gg we always strike finish
I think the current tuning is quite neat in a dumb way
Because it says +50% dmg to say eviscerate
But as its only +50% to the physical hit and not including shadowed finisher its actually less than that, but because of all the shadow&clone amp it ends up at roughly +50% anyway
do you think its likely they release tuesday patch notes tonight?
what you think is more viable for m+ now outlaw or sub?
Dunno. Big patch we don't know what is coming Tuesday. Could be anything.
I'd hope tonight. But that gets less and less likely by the hour, lol.
is it worth to backstab for macabre single target ?
No
isnt it more dmg if we disregard that it generates 1cp less ? is that reason its not worth or what ?
is it a good idea to put /cast coup \n /cast sectec on the sd macro?
it just does less damage than strike
even with danse
I have tried
/cast sb
/cast coup
/cast sectec```
It works, but I don't know if it's optimal or a false good idea
You cant just compare the tooltip of the two because wow tooltip are notoriously bad. As they do not include a bunch of stuff
Also storm does more so thats one you would use if you were gonna use something while premed is up
But even that is not really worthwhile
Guys, atm double agi proc weapon enchant are bis, should i run that or take at least one mastery like sim profile ?
Are the numbers fuu posted earlier for priority dmg and continuing to force the apex correct?
Ok i'll just believe you 😄
For example the apex clones do practically nothing on backstab relative to what they do on strike
@lilac stag may i ask why you upgraded your trinkets sir?
Same with weaponmaster
Idk what you are talking about
you can but i would suggest offloading some buttons to different hand if you know what i mean. then no real need to macro it. for example i have dance and generators on mouse and finishers on kb. helps with movement too
playing the apex optimization in aoe increased prio damage at the cost of overall
oh but my question was more about coup being pined with sectec in the same macro (any)
https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/class-tuning-incoming-13-march/500174?page=1
@lilac stag 6% nerf to evis. gg
bro
2024

is it a yes or is it a no, bros
What else am I going to waste crests on?
Saving vet crests for the last titan
why is my tricks only lasting 30 seconds with so tricky (1 hour tricks hero talent)?
Hit something
/castsequence reset=10 Cheap Shot, Secret Technique, Shadowstrike, Eviscerate, Cheap Shot, Eviscerate ,Shadowstrike, Eviscerate, Shadowstrike, Eviscerate, Shadowstrike, Eviscerate
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
If anyone knows how to fix it, my macro worked yesterday, but today the logo doesn't work.
While it works for others, I get shadowstrike and it doesn't work. I remove shadowstrike and it works.
PLS HELP
Do you have the weapon shadowstrike in your bags?
xD
Also very semantic there may be issues with spacing here
I only have daggers.
It worked for me bro, I didn't touch anything, I just logged in the next day and it didn't work.
I wish I could go in and try this macro and tell you if it works for you.
Does anyone know if Crucible trinket from the quest/renown is simming correclty?
ok tyvm
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5f9cHpKkZwQeNcKuE6YZjN
New to using Raidbots and retail in general, curious if it looks like i simmed this correctly. I locked Crucible. Still working on 2 renown peices but my brother leaves town so im sending our m0s first in this probably.
not bad i guess

we got buffs.. am i reading it right...
wtf we are the only ones who got changes?
better is
more singletarget dmg
i think the notes forgot the assassination changes ?
surely outlaw notes are coming
has to be incomplete
the most hated spec in my opinion
maybe he doesnt know what to do with it yet
They aren't aware that Assassination exists, see the energy regen buff being untrackable
make sub best prog spec, then suddenly buff assassination into top 5 in .5 patch on repeat
nimble back to what it was before they buffed it as compensation for removing evis from it
expected bp nerf
more ST with nerfed AoE probably good though
need to see how much aoe we lose
what i was hoping for cause im a raid monkey
but after an expansion of BP buffs I am confused
ah already posted
im cumming
legit best day ever
sub raid buffed to hell
thank you blizzard
exactly what i wanted
same
LETS FUCKING GO ST BUFF WHOOOOO
pretty sure udk and demo are still op btw
imagine not posting a ss one minute after the notes were up
udk was 50% above half the specs in the game and only got a 20% aura
UDK needed like 30%
dont think ive ever seen something get nerfed 20% in a balance patch in modern wow
aoe nerf kinda sadge in mostly aoe raid
ye plus u dont bring sub for st anyway
Ugh,is this aoe nerf substantial
a bit unfortunate but not unexpected
Are we dooming
idk im not happy about this in the slightest lol
LETS GOOOOOO
im p sure we're still fine in aoe
ur gonna be storm powdering a shit ton
duality of men
bro we gonna be cracked in st
evis buff slightly offsets the aoe nerf because it buffs coup
as a raider im amped
but we'll see
theres like zero pure st fights this tier
the math nerds will figure it out in a few hours
im pretty sure
but its probably overall a buff to the spec
sorry to my m+ers
I still don't think our ST is gonna be good either
ya but overall damage or kill the boss dam
it'll still be mid
a lot better than tww3 but
usually adds are never the problem
i dont think thats true this tier though
but we still help on em
i don't think so, most likely a nerf in keys
but we'll see
like theres a lot of orbs and shit that has to die
like the other rogue specs are ass for now so its fine but sub aoe is part of what keeps it relevant
technically better burst too if necessary
you don't want to lose too much burst aoe
thats true ryld
does anyone have the patrick star psychic link meme
So in mythic plus sub is weaker but in st stronger?
But also not many pure st in raid
Idk how to feel lol
our burst aoe is insane
pretty sure ur aoe burst is till bonkers
how accurate was your prediction
less value on mastery, so looks like crit will gain some value overall?
it looks pretty accurate glancing at it
That isn’t tha big of a aoe nerf
eleem will tell us exact math
guys is it a sub tier?
havoc getting an immolation aura buff is wild
always is
Always has been
#subtlety message i don't think it was particularly crazy to expect but ya
yeah bro these changes are horrible idk lol. im mad. like why is it 2026 and im seeing Backstab/Gloomblade damage increased by 20%. and Melee auto-attack damage increased by 15%. in patch notes XD
