i came from mop, im used to whole raids being full of features
surely we must
if they move more into the whole ethereal shadow clone thing we might have a rogue spec with actual visuals
when they hand ninja hand signs to the kit
maybe they'll also do away with backstab and just make gloomblade default

the dream
i mean sub being a naruto wannabe
is just goofy
meanwhile kyveza has more actually nice visual abilities
i was memeing tbf
that's ff14's thing
it would be so easy and cool for them to copy paste kyveza animations on us
"secret technique" yeah this ability definitely doesnt sound fucking stupid
ngl i can barely remember her animations
im still taking bets
on whether valeera is going to be better or worse than bran
so far her curios seem kind of shit
I watched her kill herself on the bouncy barricades in Shadowguard delve
not high hopes
for a rogue she defo doesn't like to stealth at times
her healing is significantly better than branns
speaking of trying my best, my rogue isn't even 240 
and the curio where you get a buff every time she gathers is very strong
idk which one you'll use in that slot for the nemesis though
100% her healing is nuts
and unlike brann she isn't a terrorist and places them in dangerous places
Voidspire most likely
the dmg and healing buff after 20 secs of combat
man doing Ky'veza during preseason was fun
so if this one is easier than her it's an ez title
My guild disbanded on kyveza, still disappointed
That was one of my favorite fights
What are the rotation changes during heroism. The one where you still shadowstrike at full combo points
I (think) the only change is if you have enough haste to get a second sectec during shadow blades absolutely make sure you make that happen

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.
Interesting
it's 0.2% so you can ignore it if you want
that's literally margin of error sim values
if you dont do it ur a bitch
that too

a bit

you stay undead bc undead players are gigachads
correct
its all very minor
undead rogue is the best kind of rogue
if i went back horde i would be undead for the vibes

!trinkets
did anyone do the sims and see if we are going deathstalker now?
Pretty sure that with the boost to Unseen Blades, Trickster will be even more viable (altough I would love Deathstalker to work)
very possible in pure st
trickster still ahead in any cleave
ty
is there a way to macro Backstab to cast backstab out of stealth, and to use shadowstrike while in stealth?
#showtooltip Shadowstrike
/cast [bonusbar:1] Shadowstrike; Backstab
you're the man
do we use black powder in 2target+ over evis? super new to sub just guessing
yes
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Anyone knows a good video guide on how to play sub? Im new to rogue and need a very noobfriendly guide 😂
undead rogues are great because that means my night elf gets to kill them a second time
i think sub is the easiest class in the entire game rn
😭
Still doesnt help if i have no idea what im doing haha
i mean
!guide
check wowhead guide
And AoE?
For aoe you swap black powder for evis
and shuriken storm for shadowstrike / backstab
unless youre at exactly 2 targets, then you use shadowstrike when available
!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.
Use the first macro
Okey, gonna start lvling in delve to practice the aoe
Thanks
after that sec tech at the end, in like 4 seconds you hit shadow dance again
then your shadow dance only gets used just before sec tech
its pretty intuitive
gl 
Thank you!
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If they’re using the first macro, then wouldn’t SB be 4th in that opener?
Should be that if you die, you have to play Undead. We have to repopulate somehow
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
so why does DS prefer to use dance with no/low combo pts?
oh so if its exactly 2 then its shadowstrike and bp if its up
So why is it that only 1 target gets faze with shuriken storm
but you can tab target everything and apply faze with shadow strike
you're not guaranteed to apply fazed with shadow strike every time
it's only when the internal cd of unseen blade resets
you're better off just hitting your main target with strike instead of tab targeting
Why would the aoe ability though only put unseen blade / faze on 1 target?
that just seems like a stupid design
both strike and storm fire off 1 unseenblade
Also doesn't Shruiken apply fazed as well?
no secret technique does
the big thing is you guaranteed will have fazed on all targets during dance because of sectec
shuriken only fires off an unseen as of midnight
yeah but that was only really relevant with the double coup tier set
so raid and m+ specs the same or we got some new stuff 😄 ?
How important is S&D for keys? Is it worth using an eviscerate on an aoe pack for it?
you should always have it up anyways when you press coup
Hmm...I'm new to sub. I didn't realize you'd use coup outsede of st
I thought it was just shuriken/black powder

we still use BP at 2 targets ?
gup
There's no way to combine this with a key modifier macro is there? I've already got Evis/BP on the same macro with a modifier
duno
i dont do key modifiers
probably would be able to
coup is the same as evis
well yeah its kind of gross in pvp rn
So how far apart are we guessing sub vs law is this tier?
Hmm...so I guess the coup tracking just kind of sucks. I'd prefer it to jsut tell me when coup is ready instead of how many stacks of escalating I have
u see that light at the top is sub and the beginning of the stair at bottom is outlaw
I can play both but hearing rumors law is gonna be better
Ur not welcome here shoo
People are like: Sub is mostly waiting for your cds to come back.
You mean like every 10sec? Try waiting 2min
outlaw if ure a baller sub if u wanna turn ur brain off
the raid isn't great for outlaw but keys are probably gonna be good
Just play whats more fun
ye prog law might be griefing though
dw sin is gonna get buffed
it happens every tier
I think they'll buff BP.
dude BP tuning feels like a meme at this point haha
They're gonna buff it
they went overboard i feel
I dunno. I feel it's weird with how the raid is built but also kinda w/e.
nerfing both BP and PP at the same time felt like overkill
Yeah
Hey, we'll be great at Voraius.
Just hit the big dinosaur. Bug duty can be other peoples job
And Imperator is ST except for the bit where it isn't.
Valegot and Ezzorak are a ST fight because we can't hit both at the same time anyway 
(Arms not long enough)
Flask simmed absolutely atrociously for me
i think sub will be mostly fine in raid
it's more M+ where sub has lost it's appeal
but we'll see what happens
I think it'll be fine in both for most people.
It's the same as it always is. It's very whatever, even if the big AoE was funny
recommend crafting anything with spark now as comitting to sub?
I expect more tuning as they said.
i just heard blizz said they're gonna be doing constant tuning
Lit all 3 rogue specs none of them are any good in any content rn. Compare this to other pure DPS specs
like once a week or something
Yeah
call me a doomer but i don't believe it
Also sub tier set is insane power gain
they can't say they're going to do constant tuning
not tune for 4 weeks (because waiting for raid understandably)
Like if your the rogue in the guild you should get tier asap
then pay 0 attention to assi and outlaw
haha i don't think they're that trustworthy either
ye blizzard has done nothing to give me any faith in them for tuning quickly
but hopefully im wrong
You need x aura buff and things change fast
they proved us wrong this beta cycle actually doing a lot of bug fixing
oh how much does our tier set give
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i would not put it past them to nerf our tier set
p sure balance gets an even bigger boost
like 15%
No got nerfed
huh
well i feel slightly better now because we should be good then
Still balance 17% buff
if we gain that big a power bump
we'll see if it's enough
sub is also super down bad in ST right now because no guidon and no 4 piece
Tuning is still shit ngl all 3 rogue specs are not tuned well. A pure DPS class has to have one spec that is really good. Otherwise that whole class is kinda dead for a season.
which delve was a easy stealth delve ?
sin will guaranteed get tuned high
at some point
it's never not happened in recent times
hm i cant copy the import string from the google doc
Yeah if sin stays this way you can't play it in raid. Some tanks do still more st
i dunno what they're doing
Also aoe of all tanks is pretty op
If tuning stays this way you won't see rogues on half the bosses in mythic prog
Assa battle with arms down there 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I'm gonna remind people what I do every single wow tier. Don't use single target patchwork sims to evaluate how strong specs are
very true
Remember how sub rogue was a bottom 3 dps spec on simcraft pre season
Remember how sub rogue was one of the strongest melee dps on that tier
(for prog ofc)
not sure if the same thing could happen again because sub lost a lot of burst
but very good point
It can both be true that sub sucks, and that these charts don't mean anything
yeah the dooming is a bit premature
Similar to most tiers, this isn't a tier of single target patchwork encounters
need to see it all in action
The brutal number does not reveal anything
i think the big worry is they just nerfed sub's cleave by quite a bit
It's still "the burst aoe rogue spec" and if a raid encounter asks u to do that, it's the best choice
hell yeah
Dropping a big seccy on the Voidshaper add wave on Imperator
All the rogue specs rn do something imo
Now will what they do matter in raid? Idk yet
Sin has execute, outlaw has st and cleave, sub has burst st and aoe
Or you know, just craft a sword because u saw a leaked photo of sims on a google sheet
Seems like a much more reasonable response to the news
Hello, I am sorry for stupid question but could somebody clarify for me the the apex optimization for trickster? Shall I always use shadowstrike to gain apex for the super charged non sectech finisher or is shuriken storm also ok?
only strike because it does a lot of damage and while bl is up
on st and at most 3 targets
Ok, thank you kind sir
walt is it not worth it in ST without lust?
Ofc it is but whole raid is cleave aoe and that sub is bad now at
is there a way to better see coupe procs? i don't want to watch my action bars all the time just for the proc
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
anyone have the link to the racial sims?
i mentioned it a while back
there seems to be a pattern of subtlety doing well because of burst damage
then falling off naturally as stuff dies faster (in raids)
or stuff survives longer (in m+)
this is never considered, while other specs and classes get buffs
i think it is the very high burst we have , which is magnified in early/lower tier settings due to adds not having health but it is also that sub is currently quite easy to say get 90% of its top end dps out of its easy rotation
means blizz rly has a very bad judgement on a balance enviroment they control
correct
The right things
For the future
I don't want to see any stupid questions related to minmax coming from you then
It is bm
nope
dw bro im gonna have 4 different shadowdance macros ❤️
Until guys parse green and ask what they do wrong on melee bm
ya, with the CDM
Is it really sustained cleave aoe on most biased ? My impression was that our burst cleave was actually quite well suited.
btw were there any banns for the prof knowledge abuse?
No clue
no

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
they seriously need to ban over that
because it's insane
you have an enormous advantage in crafting with completely filled out trees
I imagine they will get around to it
hopefully yeah
if i mess up, i dont save secret technique for shadow dance or so i/?
Why couldn’t they make an engaging spec for the release of the expac? You don’t need to apologize for the billion dollar corporation
Because doing too much at once isn't a smart idea when you want to see how it all plays out. They might be a billion dollar corporation, but they aren't able to see the future
Having a basic grasp of design helps you understand these things.
All they did is remove stuff and did nothing since then 6 months ago
Again you don’t have to apologize for the billion dollar corporation
I don't think you understand what apologize means as a word, but okay
I really like how the specc is feeling atm but I`m also looking forward to what they may add in the future
Big same. It's a good starting point.
Is there a macro that switches between backstab and shadow strike?

Nope, but you can probably just make one with /cast backstab /cast shadowstrike, maybe a stance modifer? I personally just use the stance bar to automatically change it.
You're not using shadowstrike outside of shadow dance?
#showtooltip Shadowstrike
/cast [bonusbar:1] Shadowstrike; Backstab
Thank you!
how would you use shadowstrike outside of shadow dance / stealth
I dont know, tbh i havent read up on anything but thought there was a talent that could proc it
with vanish ofc
But then i dont need shadowstrike on the regular bars?
You don't because Backstab will become Shadowstrike when you dance / are in stealth
Aah
As it can only be cast when you are in stealth or in shadow dance.
Only used 1 button rotation 😂
Based on the patch do i still use Shuriken storm + BP in ShadowDance on 2+ mobs?
I highly recommend having a quick read of your abilities and talents. It'll make a lot of it clearer 🙂
Yeah will do that when i get home haha
i know, but that is before knowing the wednesday nerf
and the buff on shadowstrike dmg
prob have to wait till release for irl testing
do we craft a dagger with spark or safer to wait till reset?
pretty sure you can just craft it since the embellishment will still be bis on oh
you don't storm on 2 targets in dance, only outside dance
in dance you strike on 2 target
i'm not a numbers person but i factored the nerf to BP and buff to evis and it looks like it'll still be better to BP on 2 target with PP talented
Yep
Can't say for sure since we don't know how much they'll nerf bp by or how much they'll buff eviscerate


I doubt lol
it is
And implacable makes it even more boring
Is this any good? In theory it looks good-ish and I know I can sim it, but was wondering if there's any sentiment in general compared to other trinkets, since I won't be simming every single trinket and I noticed it's omitted in all sim lists like wowhead and blodmallet.
lol yeah i saw your comment on whysper's video
Drinking is never good.
looks like a mid trink
drinking water is great actually
not terrible, not great
Because it's not in the m+ loot list (this dungeon isn't in the s1 m+ )
@vale pine u here?
yes, whats up
i have question, do we press bp on 2 target if its a boss fight? like the 2 bosses in windrunner
we do
pressing bp on 2+ gives both targets more damage
unless you don't care about damage on the 2nd target
I'm kinda annoyed that the warbanner sims so well
in which case you just evis
Well that's the max ilvl you can possibly get as the dungeon is not in the season
ok thanks
Ah, true. Forgot the pool is different
That explains it
The implication of questions like this is always padding the meters
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
not always
Dagger + belt first craft?
Ok
any low stat budget slot is a good craft usually
We just use sparks on dagger right ?
you can
unless you want to play outlaw
there is still a risk of changes before mythic opens
but dagger is typically the best craft for rogue
(for assassiantion/subtlety)
can put hunt on the dagger
Surely this season outlaw will be our prog spec
Thanks! I am starting as sub this season.
and 2nd craft is the belt 100% on sub or another dagger? i will play only sub nothing else @vale pine
belt is the best one long term
ok
short term its still good
but your drops are very important
e.g. you get a good belt from heroic
might want to craft boots
@vale pine craft with spark now dagger?
or bracers
You can craft a dagger with sparks, it is low risk.
If you do put hunt on it
dagger in general are typically the best crafts because of weapon damage
HOWEVER
crafting early always comes with a risk
there will be another set of tuning changes before mythic opens
so might be worth to wait for these
inb4 getting double myth daggers first week
But isn‘t a dagger safe since you can use it even for outlaw as oh?
the risk is:
- You get a mythic dagger drop
- Crafting items get nerfed/buffed
- Outlaw is the best spec, dagger in oh on outlaw is good but not outstanding
You also have to ask yourself, even if outlaw outperforms…do you really want to play as a Temu pirate?
How would you get a mythic dagger drop? Delve vault?
Would you not just then have 2 mythic daggers
By killing stuff on Mythic whihc you can't do until week 2 anyway
in raid 2nd boss drops dagger
and the other raid drops also one
dreamrift
on the 17th they opening lfr/normal/Hero raids and m+ right?
or does m+ come with m raid
No m+
kk
in the scenario where you know your guild wont kill second boss mythic until week 2-3, is it still a good option to craft a dagger with spark and hunt embellsihment, and use it for progress, and then IF ever a mythic dagger drops, you can still use two daggers anyway?
but m0 goes down to daily reset ?
If you are asking what to craft, you should almost certainly be crafting a dagger
M0 is meant to go do daily reset and will drop 1/6 Champ gear as I understand it, yeah.
I don't think it will go champ
it will be champ gear from m0 next week with daily lockout
I guess we'll have to wait and see on Tuesday when our american and oceanic friends can beta test it for us.
i heard it'll be champ gear
!aa

Note: Only during lust.
other question, for the prey next week should we do the 4 normals first to get to rank 4 so we can do nightmare over hards as to not get 2 pinacle chests with veteran gear?
I sent dagger with hunt, we play two rogues this tier though. If we both send dagger craft and we get some daggers from 2nd myth boss then we're too blessed to be stressed anyway
Yeah, I meant if both my guilds rogues sent a dagger, not send a dagger for each of my hands
so...we're all switching to outlaw?
Why would we
The outlaw Sims have been better before but the profile can still be stinker
Why because a sim is 7k more??? Means nothing especially since we dont really know the profiles
imma lose my mind about these "outlaw?" questions
Sorry for the bother
Sub has probably the worst profile now

It's tier full ST or full AoE, no real prio/cleave, etc
no funnel either
Outlaw and Assa both have either more damage to prio mob and cleave to others and/or funnel
Pack it up, Eleem. Why do you even bother tc'ing for this worthless spec? 💀
I mean slightly yeah
But you make it sound like sub does absolutely 0
Instead of just slightly less than if it was pure ST
Mind you, I'm not saying Sub is bad, i'm just saying strictly talking about damage profile, it 's the worst of the 3
If you ignore the fact that its burst yeah
Assa won't be able to compete on add cleave in the raid if it's in bursts
Raid is mostly spread cleave
Its not
It would be nice if they reverted nimble flurry so we have low target cleave
I think that's a main pain point right now
Again, not dooming or anything, just saying where I think would be cool that they improved the spec
Not really
if they don't touch sectec, we will be better than sin on the fights
they'd have to increase add health by a lot to change that
Anyone knows how the new changes sim?
I heard something like 6% ST increase and 15% AoE decrease
Like yeah if we ignore the main strenght of sub (the fact that its damage is bursty) its profile is worse than the others
But not entirely sure
ok ill delete
doesn't that sheet still say in big, fat, red letters that you're not supposed to share yet due to its "beta state"?
Was intending to craft a dagger next week, but have two vet tracks daggers now. Is it still the move to craft an offhand next week or should I just upgrade what I have to 250?
Only if you can read
myb
Why you taking away all my fun?
Sorry, thought you were busy.
is crafting anything worth it now?
so far from what i understand, if you are committing to playing sub crafting a dagger with hunt is the move
you know this would mean boomie and spriest if true
and not melee

yes
is there anway to move the blizz dmg meter into the actual corner of the screen?
Not without using a skin like Details because the Blizz one has this obnoxious padding on it's sides 🙁
Does exporting and importing your arcUI work for you guys?
Secret Technique cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dance only from haste which increases your baseline haste. When using a haste trinket, make sure to use it before Shadow Dance to get the extended duraiton.
no
if you figure out how to do it let me know
thanks
I wish
addon import and export is a hassle -.-
aoe blind is no longer a thing now right?
blizz really went out of their way in midnight to put the final nails in the coffin of rogue utility
we gained a marginally better shiv which is already not very useful to having no aoe cc yet again which is a huge loss in group content
Oh shit I forgot about shiv as utility
i guess soothe is actually useful when there are enrages that will kill everyone (1st pull necrotic wake), but other classes also have soothe on top of their billion other utility
Woooo druid
lol yeah it's niche use
should I enchant haste if it's too low or just mastery?
Just did world tour as druid and feral is kinda chilling
whereas aoe cc is kinda a mandatory staple for M+ and certain raid encounters
you need ~684 haste
yeah druid utility is nuts
how many meows
does berserker's rage count?
they have all the utility under the sun AND the best raid buff
I had a weak aura to meow every time I ferocious bite
exactly, got purged
the warrior ability?
am i missing something
Enchant Weapon - Berserker's Rage
oh
nah that doesn't count
also i don't think enchanting that is very useful
better to use mainstat and/or mast
probably x2 mainstat because then you can swap between specs easier if need be
excellent
if you are not going to get to at least ~ 650 haste with your enchants and gems, don't bother
imo
my alt is too far and I'll commit to mastery until I get enough haste pieces
I had a bad opinion of the sub with all the talents they removed, but now that I'm level 90, I've really come to like it a lot; it feels good. I think I'd like one more button, just as a break.
Honestly its no different thn other specs, being simple
would be cool to have an extra situation, like a proc or whatever
its always the same tho
The last point of the apex is great, 10/10, it feels really good
i kinda like having to keep track of my ShT stacks
i'd like to see more play around the apex, would be cool
Yeah. Still not sure I want them as a number or a bar (like cp)
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I think devlin had a neat display of sht in their weakaura
Only on BL right? With 0.2% gain, dunno m8 if it an optimization at all
Maybe I can emulate that in arcui
Afaik the new minmax is to force the second supercharged finisher
Trickster still the play for M+?
it is a gain and stealthi gets to have more fun, win win 😉
(which happens most of the time automatically)
Bar ftw
wonder if I can overlay the cp and the sht bar, like some WA did
i think it should just naturally happen with sectec giving 4 sht right
or do the sht not come in fast enough
ahh ok
You can’t exactly the same and what you can do it’s a mess imo.
nice pooling a thing
I just tossed the bard on top of CP
what's your cutoff before you stop using finishers before next dance
3-4 seconds for me
that's cutting it a bit close
maybe because i haven't actually had skyfury the entire of midnight yet
or let's say
depending on my resource situation
if it's looking good, I send until 3-4 s
if I am already "struggling", I stop earlier
fair enough
the updtaed min/max is a bit better, ill update !aa in a moment
its still low-ish impact but more than 0.2%
Why you sent 3 sec before if you need than build full cp again, decision should be made on how much sht you have and dance cd I think
it's simpler than the other min max tbh
because it's only affecting 1 finisher
i'm not in game to test, if you don't proc apex on the finisher after sectec you're guaranteed to have 5CP on the strike at max cp to proc apex right
Pretty much
cool cool
4 from sectec and then you have 2 seconds to get another sht proc
Don't think if it's actually possible to not get a proc in that time frame, assuming you're at 0 going into your dance
given our attack speed in dance now it's a done deal
i'm gonna have to mess around with pooling
i wonder if pooling becomes a gain too because you're essentially playing into the apex
My feelycraft says yes
whenever i do go into dances with high sht stacks for whatever reason it feels like you're zooming
go into dances with no sht stacks and it feels like dogshit
The difference is probably lower than it feels like
But having at least a couple sht should be a gain
I'd imagine especially in these short add cleave situations
Farm sht on the boss, then spend hard on the add spawn
Hello o/
Is there ever a time we manually press Slice and Dice?
nope
What does looking good mean in that situiation for u? 😄
what stats should I pick for crafted weapon? haste+mastery? I'm at 463 haste
Haste Mastery or Haste/Crit if you plan on playing other specs
Which potion do you guys use. The one that silences you or the normal pot?
Mainly outlaw
the pacify potion is not worth it
Its already tilting me
Enough sht and maybe not 0 energy

i reach that dps just with my current gear and enchants
(don't have enchants rn cuz broke)
How much does frost get from its tier set?
pre-upgrades even?
only thing diffrent in the sim is that i don't have enchants on ingame
because im abroke af freshy
changing some stuff around

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
iris does x4 damage from sim values
which is ~3.5% currently using it with gemstone and different gems
at least devourer is still a purple class
Hey! I was wondering if we ignore lashe macabre rn. Both wowhead and icy-veins guides dont mention it being used. Do we want to activate it on either single target or aoe?
'
guys is early to craft a weapon, or just spend that gold
Might aswell wait till wednesday and craft a dagger with veteran crest if you havent crafted already
Unless you have spent all rhe veterancrest already
just think of it as passive dmg from just playing right
veteran crest are able next week?
M0 still gives veteran
I know, it's because you don't need them to craft the weapon currently.
That's why I asked about the crests.
U can craft with crest next week i think?
macabre does decent dmg but not enough to force alot of unique spells and its just better than other options cuz the rest kinda sucks
Sorry, I understood that I should craft with the veterans.
=/
Sure! Honestly i love to activate macabre as it gives something to think about during dance windows which is fun. Honestly i think ill continue to use it just for that 😄
well we use the talent as there is nothing better
we just dont do a bunch of worse spells to keep proccing it
Quick questions about the "Rogue Spreadsheet", What is the Difference on the trickster string? Is it 2%?
Thats it imma keep shuriken storming in st just to see it in my overall damage, i honestly love the talent wish they would buff it so we would always try to fit both cp generators during our windows
Shadow dance into shiv about to go hard trust
is it worth crafting dagger this early or wait until best crest upgrade?
subtely or outlaw for m+?
Either atp
thx blizzard for perfect balance
Does anyone have a rough estimate of how much % the black powder clone bug is? Will it offset the aoe nerf?
Was there some copium storage explosion somewhere?
Soo. Why are they nerfing sub?

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance

if i was doing 135k on 8+ pulls, how much realistically should i be doing after nerfs? like 110k?
Is the spec broken or something?
They rebalanced the spec
the spec did really amazing aoe, especially burst
and then it did 0 ST
They re-balance its damage
the single target is buffed
but the aoe/cleave is nerfed
say it fuu
the reaosn burst damage is relevant is stuff dying fast
however, stuff does not die fast if you increase time
increase time, means look forward to later stages of m+
a low m+ key has mobs dying almost immidiatly
so burst is a huge part of the overall output
lets just put a number on it, 80%
now we go higher in key levels
and this 80% go town
it migth be 60% of the overall
then 40%
then 20% at some point
now, tuning is done as if it always is 80%
which is why you see subtlety usually played at the start of a season
but have it fall off significantly over time
the tuning will also give classes with more ramp up/sustained damage an edge
if you have ramp up
you might not be able to fully show your potential initially, because enemies die so fast
e.g. like its now in m0
blizz looks at data and thinks
"oh damn, we need to heavily buff this classes aoe"
the only way this can be counter acted is by frequent tuning, but tuning would also need to consider multiple content types
which it rarely does
Text of the Day !
Copilot will pop up on your screen "make your life easier" then proceed to not be useful at all
Any gambles on whether sub or outlaw will be a better play for raid?
hey guyss, ive crafted dagger, are u guys gonna craft belt on reset?
i will wait
and see what i get drop wise
then decide
you can craft a 2nd gear piece with crests without spark
if you want a 2nd embellishment for your first raid
Still don't get it. Like sure it's doing amazing aoe. But is it too much? Like sure we have our windows. But then we just stand there.
If they think like that it is so stupid 🙂
I think the problem is, as always, data
Raids are usually solved by burst AoE
But also, for a lot of people, dealing dogshit ST isn't fun
So thats why it was "rebalanced" and not just nerfed
Data is the most problematic thing in the world. Even outside of games. Very few people see it and understand how to interpret it
Hahaha well buff the ST without nerfing the aoe then
they can use simulations, but going from public communication, usually don't
We’re not mages
But the specs aoe was likst, insane, you couldn't have JUST buffed its ST
this leaves their data pool towards internal tooling
and statistics based on in game performance
Yeah I do understand if the AOE is overtuned. Not if it's just good
Yeah
those statistics is incomplete data, because:
- In m0, stuff just dies too fast
- There is no tier set
- Gear levels are low, classes might not hit their stat breakpoints to perform well
its just a very complicated space
If you just buffed subs ST, you just have 2 rogue specs that serve 0 purpose this season, as of now, I'd say all 3 specs have a fairly good niche, that would have been ruined by just "making sub the best at everything"
i don't mind this kind of tuning philosophy
that would be very blizzard though
how does this apply to one dps spec classes
should they have similar problems, or are they allowed to be "good at everything"?
also what about other classes/specs which don't follow it
Their philosophy is everything within 10% of eachother is what they are always striving for apparently, though it rarely happens.
honestly seeing overall go down seems a little spooky but if you run an m0 with a tank who does diabolical pulls
the aoe was extremely sturdy even out of shadowblades
!aa
Apex talent optimization:

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
18% haste 40 something mast 20% crit with around 238-240 ilevel with b tier trinkets etc
Idk it does most of the time
^
Raids generally are well balanced
Well based on the last picture ive seen for numbers with the changes, feral at the top with 120k and Ass like 85k. Thats a lot more than a 10% difference.
So the upcoming raid isn't 10 single target patchwork no movement no adds bosses
So a ST patchwork sim isn't very useful for evaluating how good specs are in raid, right
assa going to show its strength in logs vs sims.
This was last expac for example right
This was manaforge omega
Sub at the bottom, meanwhile sub was the goto prog spec, because it literally hard carried fight
Meanwhile Outlaw rogue was the literal bottom 2 DPS spec in the entire game, next to arms
Which on this graph, is middle of the pack
Using these "St patchwork sims" to evaluate how good specs are in an actual raid is just way too shortsighted
Dmg Profile >>> ST sims
The assa sims on that sheet are also intentionally not up to date so even your pure st sims gap isn't as wide as it seems
Instead use streamer tierlists using sims list to rank what you should play.
I feel eveyr expac people need to relearn that ST patchwork sims are in fact, not the video game
I only use tier lists that are highly ranked on the tier list tier list
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
True it's a sin tier
aint no way
«If they bleed, we can kill it». Only sin got a bleed hence why it is a sin tier
where do they take their data for tunings from btw?
A lot of people in this discord throwing shit like this out and I can't wait for the only spec to be played to be sub
Internal tools with ingame data
they spread like the plague, they hack the person then the person sends out the hack and it goes on and on
fr
Napkin math
Provided by wowhead writers
got destroyed
Well see only reason I favor sub is because its extremely tanky compared to the other 2 specs
the thing is that its super hard to get hacked by that too
!ban @iron mulch
why is sub tanky?

I feel worse on it than the other 2 cause I can't spam feint easily
I'm just saying like, no flame, what are your credentials to be saying "it won't be a sub tier"? If you're giga raider I'll take back my questioning
Purple Gary wasn't even purple, he was yellow name.
wat sub is like the feint spam guy
Idk if I say im a giga raider but i do play at a HOF level
you don't have the energy outside dance

it has some additional defensive talents in the tree
balance is also difficult if you include m+
you dont need to spam backstab 24/7
dam outside of dance is kinda whatever
yeah but the others can spam their buttons and also press feint
sin can def not do that outlaw sure, but again not as tank as sub due to lack of defensive nodes in spec tree
discussions around the topic are just always difficult, because there are so many diffrent opinions based on diffrent epxectations and interests
Like you wanna hold your max cps as you get close to your next dance anyway
sin especially with DS was good but now FB is worse
for m+ for example we had multiple seasons you woudl only play one spec and never considered alternatives
tho, not everyone is interessted in pushing keys
so this is most of the times not relevant in balance discussions
i dont rly see how youre saying youre able to do it as sin, but not as sub. I could see the argument back then when sub was CDR spec, but our dmg outside of dance is terrible so theres no need to spam
I mean sin has 250 energy and sub 100 so it is easier, but yeah outside dance if you don't press buttons you can use it
I haven't pushed high with sub , mostly assa but with elusiveness and feint you are kinda unkillable
and also evasion giving 20% magic
... but that damage outside of dance doesnt matter
is it reasonable to just take power naps between dance cds
You really just wanna prevent overcap and get to max cp for your next dance+sectech
jk
the DS evasion isnt small, but its pretty mid compared to what sub gets in their spec tree.
is there any dps loss for capping shadow techniques**
I thought the good thing about sub was stacking Vers which is now gone
Good news is you don’t need to press buttons outside of dance. 
I thought in m+ you kinda need to press some shuriken and bp
but not very proficient in m+ sub
Yes vers good, but sub talents are just the strongest defensively out of all 3 specs
we down bad like that?
for sure better than previous expansion
Highs and lows are great. I love it.
You know what would tank your dps more than not sending storm and bp outside of dance?
dying

source?
santa???
I love how people continually want to turn the best part of sub into assa/outlaw part 2
it feels so bad being so starved outside of cds
its fairly simple
something works well, so lets add it to my spec
Then play something else. The more the spec does outside of CDs, the less bursts/ dmg the spec does in CDs.
so it can be better at that thing
I want a high burst spec, good damage outside of burst, with high apm, with high healing, self sustain, utility, cleave, it to file my taxes
Have you considered prot pali?
so assassiantion?
intuitive gameplay
😛
press shift+t for gouge, ctrl+e for cheap shoot induce wheelchair is f or aq depending
Fertile impregnate my wife, make me do the dishes....
Like holy fuck we have 3 different specs with 3 different profiles. If you don’t like one, try the others.
why are you being serious right now
I mean the max isn't really relevant
not the place for i!
induce wheelchair
we are here to complain buddy
Sub is wasting tons of energy during dance
ot is for serious stuff
Tired of the shit takes from rerollers in here
And outside of dance you do no damage so skipping a backstab is whatever
Energetic anticipation
and you can release over energy clones
And we spend the banked energy on......
Gloomblade
it is because it can be at the start of the fight or you run away due to a mechanic or use tea etc.
when you expend energy
What
Bottomless Tea
dont you know humans only have a finite number of energy in their entire lives
Having the ability to cap out 250 energy is better than 100 when you want to use "utility"
and to spend it
Ain’t no one is using tea as sub bruh
like cheapshot or feint
is waste
I wish
Have you played sub
any energy you overcap should start refilling your mugs of tea
MugsTea?!
Mugzee??!?!
Because sub practically does not have energy
HOLY
If you get enough, you should go super sayian. MAXIMUM ENERGY overload MODE
You have infinite energy during dance and outside of dance you can have infinite too if you just don't backstab
Which doesn't cost much dps
saiyans dont drink tea
@tribal vortex #subtlety message
the cowards
huh
Yeah what I said is it feels easier to spam faint with assa and outlaw then sub due to the energy cap
and also let's say you send a backstab and then you are like fuck I should have feinted
sub is the easiest man 😭
Tbh if youre in a situation in which you dont have energy to feint youve messed up by not anticipating the situation.
Also u can just keep energy above 60 and psuedo-pool
Yeah I agree
