Okay ty
Be himself
Turns out releasing the game on a random beta patch and then holding off from doing any tuning for 2 weeks left the game in a fairly unbalanced state
@vale pine is double shadowstrike the move in every blades cast after sectec when playing trickster it always get our coupe up for the second finisher of our supercharged combo points
If you dont get it naturally yes
But since you shouldnt be finishing a few seconds before youre dancing
You should have enough sht stacks without needing to double strike
its more about forcing coupe into the second charged finisher
i was looking at sims and trying it out and it seems we can get coupe always instantly on pull
If you get lucky and one of those double hit yea
Besides theres no difference supercharging coup Vs supercharging an eviscerate
Supercharger isnt +X% damage, its +3 combo points spent
Going from 7 > 10 combo points spent is the same as going from 12 > 15
ye but in aoe where we have lets say 5-7 mobs could it be the move than to gamble the coupe proc over just bp the mobs
What
idk how much dps coupe does compared to bp havent look that much into it
in first pull of magister where we dont have 12+ mobs could it be the play to send supercharged coupe over black powder
will it do more damage

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
Which is better in cleave situations, Sub, Assa, or Outlaw, when considering the raid? Been playing Sub just because it's so bursty but it doesnt seem to do well for cleave fights versus some other classes. I'm most likely playing it sub-optimal but yea, lol.
Wasn't sure if people had experience so far that could translate to the upcoming raid.
what would people prefer a guide for trickster and one for deathstalker or a long one on both¿
A guide on fatebound sub please
think last time i played outlaw was in fated nathria
Whichever is less headache for you I guess

looks like plume is our new bis
Hi guys do u know if duplication effect from aug evoker stacks with our dmg from apex talent clone?
It does but it matters for my aug actually thats why Im asking
Fairs
Think u may have to test that one out
Id assume it does cause clone dmg counts as our dmg (don't quote me)
And not pet dmg or something
so just checking, only thing that hbas really changed since tuning is proccing aa when supercharged? everything else norm how it w as?
long on both w timestamp
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is class changes live?
is there any fight were we are playing deathstalker as far as we know?
Nothing is ST
For 2-3 targets are we just not pressing black powder at all or is it still worth it to press?
We do !apex (notes) every time if really apex no proc?
What?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
N3it sure i understand
Danse macbre?
why isnt this in wowhead guide
It is
Long guide for both!
Its to proc Silent Storm / FW / Premed. Also Backstab / Shadowstrike are locked out for a quarter GCD when you click dance because reasons. And gives a danse strike.
Only for Deathstalker.
Might benefit from Momentum of Despair too, not sure.
you can have momentum from before
There is a bug SD+SS does not cast
but not worth on st kinda unless you are already at full cp and pooling sht and about to cap energy
might as well
but if you have wm might proc it from stab too so meh
i cant believe its worth to do a 1.7k shuriken storm in dance even with the .2 delay on dance
why not use it the global before u dance
8000 ? where u get that number from
dance also buffs storm damage by 100% (is a spellbook passive) so with that and danse + avoiding the stance delay its good
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.
basically you want to supercharge DN evis and sec tech
so you prep it
get to 1 mark
0 cp get sht
dance storm sec tech evis
He explained better than I did, lol.
it will be exlained in guides somewhere but i will also explain it in the DS part of the video
I think its a little moot, personally, I dont trust Deathstalker - or myself to not bug deathstalker. LOL.
subbed 
well it is marginally better in st and has more to think about but also
i dont think i would play it
yay for 2 button trickster
and as long as theres some cleave trickster is better so why even bother
IDK Deathstalkers mark is like 6.4% DPS & Hunt Them Down is like 3.5%. That bugs out on you and you're doing same ST as Potent Powder spec Trickster. Less, because you lose another 5% for Singular Focus.
But if you run Potent Powder Trickster you also get to giga-pad on adds.
And I feel like a lot of fights you want to run potent powder anyway.
That said - DS maybe better on adds without Sectec up.
can we not use champion crests to craft with a spark but only hero and myth crests?
Basically strike being delayed sucks and can lose a gcd in dance. storm does 11k and lashe 11-22k, so its a minor loss for a significant gain in a gcd inside dance
@my current ilvl of 241
My haste is already 20 percent, why is raidbots simming haste gear as better on the droptimizer despite stat weights showing it's worth very little benefit?
We're still aiming for 650-700, correct?
Probably just ilvl
sup, qq for chat. not seeing the value in first dance with tanks just chain pulling constantly. i might get 2 or 3 if im lucky. is it worth dropping for veiltouched for the extra 5% dmg?
Agi >>>everything
I'm comparing the same ilvl
Is droptomizer adding enchants that you dont have on your equipped gear?
Dropping tfd for finality/veil is fine. U need to proc every 2 minutes for it to be valuable
negative, i'll post a top gear compare
ty
Link the droptimizer while ur at it
It's having me pick haste gloves/cloak over non-haste gloves/cloak
Yet I'm sitting at 20 percent
So are we dropping WM and taking potent powder for all fights, minus like Belo'ren, and Vorasius?
726
Very strange, i suggest waiting till tmrw
I'm just lost on this
Eleem is pushing the apl tonight
Droptimizer has been known to have scuffed results tho
Doesn't vanish guarantee you proc it every 2 minutes? Although I gues you'd need to stay out of combat.
Probably not worth.
Ye but in real keys vanish is an insane defensive
I stopped using tfd towards the end of my beta keys finality was stronger
I was more thinking raid cleave. But then you probably want the M+ with veil-touched instead of TFD.
I think the M+ build has TFD in lieu of Veil, but maybe I'm out to lunch.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yeah, see Fuu's sims have TFD instead of Veil.
hellno
Weird that seems incorrect to me
Could be he just hasn't looked at Dungeon Slice as much.
dslice gets combat drops right?
Not sure.
It should
Would it be trolling to just set and forget something like this in Heroic week? Feels like good mix of ST damage and Cleave without really knowing the fights.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
how's sub looking for raid tomorrow
kinda neat
Anyone have a decent idea of our stats atm? I'm sitting at 500 crit, 650 haste, 600 mastery/*.... feels decent
can someone explain, in the spreadsheet it says embelishments hunt + linen, what exactly are those?
weapon with darkmoon hunt any leather gear with the linen that gives main stat
How much DPS is arcanoweave - should I be crafting that before raid, or its relatively minor?
Sim it / talk to your RL about crafts
Idk that Arcanoweave is in droptimizer or top gear? Or am I just dumb, lol.
Hi apologies if this is a silly question but how come crit loses value in M+ compared to ST. Is it because Mastery is just worth so much more the more targets ?
Its because potent powder is OP as hell and talents give you crit chance boosts to Shuriken/Powder
Sub’s Mastery and use of the stat is just very good, especially in AoE
Ahh thanks ❤️

how much of a dps increase is this? playing like this makes me wanna throw up
1% trick 3% ds
Your playing then the wrong spec my friend. Sub has always degen stuff
This isn’t even degen 
It's also so minor
Hi guys, I’m change spec on sub, watching shindig guide, can I ask we CDG only when secret technique up? Or we just insta press it
Most of the time it happens automatically
it's a lot simpler than it really looks and mostly handles itself during most dances
Sorry for the stale question, but I'm returning from TWW S2, my muscle memory has me throwing in a regular backstab in Shadow Dance to trigger Danse Macabre. Am I ignoring that talent entirely now?
Yes
One more bad question, is the new change to sub considered an overall buff or nerf?
The one coming up tomorrow
it happens most of the time passively, and if you want to make it p much guaranteed every time you can be a bit more aggressive pooling before dances
to stack up some sht
Has anyone of you tried to give it some pooling conditions
I always end up pooling a bit because I want to enter dance with sectec anyway
The only time I don't technically pool is if I'm swimming in sht already, but then I'd have to get super unlucky to use all of them up with my last pre-dance builder
is it possible to do the delve xp farm with sub rogue?
the danger always feels like if you try to squeeze in 1 more limp evis right before sectec is up you can not have enough CPs right as it comes off cd
and then if you pool your next dance feels like you're zooming
Yeah that's why I only send the limp evis if I'm at 5+ sht
hard to say because i haven't been playing with a sham the past few weeks
On dummy sessions I usually backstab soup for a couple secs
or being on the safe end with pooling i should say
Need to be careful not to backstab soup too much or you lack energy for sectec
i do up to 6 secs sometimes
yeah hacha was saying there was some energy condition to it
only backstabbing above a certain energy threshold
60
yeah
I feel like that only should only apply to the last maybe 2s before dance
probably yeah
Even though technically it's also good to always have enough for feints
you can kinda safely stop backstabbing ~2 secs before sectec comes up
Backstabbing doesn't do anything anyway
yeah both backstab and non dance evis hit for nothing
If you just int your dance window once by finishing one time too many beforehand or delaying due to a lack of energy
going into a dance with 0 sht feels pretty horrendous
You've inted more than you would have gained from these 2-3 extra evis and 9-10 backstabs over 5 min
i think so
That's at least what feelycraft™ tells me
Looking at the yellow number on my screen after a non dance evis
Despairge
Over 5 minutes that's 17 dps
yeah it's nothing
It all adds up!!!
But with the static sectec and dance cd you're in full panic mode if you don't have enough cp or sht when they come up
yeah that's really bad
1 thing i'm not super clear on though is if you proc coup while you're pooling
i've had it where i send coup and build back up and hit like 3 stacks on UB before next dance
or sent it and from rng just had a miserable time getting back to full CP
OR hold coup and waste ~2 UB procs
Are ppl here crafting their wep or still waiting for last tunings to happen?
It's probably hard to really get a clear rule for that
yeah that one feels squirrely
My gut tells me to not send if it delays your dance/sectec
that's prob the rule yeah
If you can just about get enough cp and maybe not enough sht, I'd send
if only UB stacked beyond 4
They had their chance last patch, didn't do it
So what is the latest cook for ds and apex talent?
despair
trinket nerfed again
not gonna get it anyways
We all sneer at it anyway
guten morgen
plume sims better for me now
but this is heroic sim so who knows
with low ilvl gear currently
for sure yeah
Didn’t know I should farm honor for pve upgrades I’ve been playing an alt instead 🙁
If you want a quick boost do all the world quests that give the PvP gear too
Also not sure if you can get PvP crafted gear yet
I just saw tonight people talking about gemming raid gear etc from doing PvP
I was gonna look into it tomorrow during downtime
the pvp socket items should be pvp gear specific
not until tmrw
Do you guys enchant weapon with main stats and mastery proc ? atm double main stats proc sim higher for me
I just went for main stats for now
Do you have like a number of sht stacks when u feel like its good to go into cooldowns with that amount of stacks?
1 minimum 3 great
shouldn’t delay cds really though just pool more
Not entirely sure 3 is even necessary with wind fury either
Idk didn’t do any m0 with a shaman
Before we start M+, can we press dance to get 2 supercharged combo points, and then when M+ starts, our first finisher, despite AoE, should be evisc to get slice and dice up?
Kinda hype. Looking at strat I already get the vibes
Yeah it feels hard to me, since I have in my mind that I have to press buttons all the time since that can be the issue on other classes when u lack dps. Thats atleast what I heard alot. So I have some problems to just stop press anything before big cd😄 Is it important to have 2/2 sd stacks available for blades, or I just need to have the 2nd sd ready for that time?
The idea is that you win a bg for the quest thst gives you 9 of these crafting tokens that you use to make 246 pieces. The honor can then be used to purchase sockets for a belt and wrist that you'll craft, and you can add embellishments as well, so you will have strong pieces locked for a while
thanks!
For raid, is everybody just playing trickster, or going DS for some fights? do we have a list for that yet?
last I looked the robot wasn’t even dancing twice in blades with depression levels of haste. it changes a bit with guidon on use trinket too so I honestly can’t say
So we must play Deathstalker on ST now ?
Haven’t spent long enough on dummies to get a feel for how to play things, both my rogues are 700 haste though
should have more practical data soon
Bingus are you ready for the 50s blades when they bugfix lingering any day now
why do you always bring such horrors upon me now
Ig just shadow damage but
Mfw lingering is a stronger amp than blades itself
Is it?
Get ready to talent gloom blade
Blades is like 36% right
Isn’t blades 26 with tier
Death perception
Oh ye
And blades also works on secret technique 🐸
guys why the neck sim higher for other people when im the shadow damage guy
fucked up world tbh
On bosses like Voracius and Fallen king, u will play Deathstalker or trickster ?
They should just commit to sending us back to s1 df
I’m just gonna play trick the whole way through
same trickin the whole way
does trickster still ahve that thing where nobody gets parried in ur raid?
And giga buff gloomblade
I need to know the fight to play ds because if I lose my mark I’m gonna mental boom
And I don’t feel like getting parried
I mental boomed so hard on ds in beta in one key I never played it again
Self only since tww3
i see ok
Parry debuff should be part of atro
Especially since Eleem said you can just lose it to getting parried bruv
Can you imagine the pain
Giga DN in blades with SC gets parried and not only do you lose infinite damage but your hero tree turns off
Yeah ok
i hate deathstalker shit fucked me up so bad on fuckin silken court
like i had to just wait cause i know that mf was gonna phase and i couldnt generate enough finishers to get the darkest sshit up in time
I mean a bug like that stops you from playing it on pure st for prog
Reminds me of the coup bug tho
Did you ever get that one
Where it just doesn’t work? No
Also I swear you get parried way more on prog before optimized strats
Like genuinely doubt ds is even better for that reason
I thought I looked at one point
Bad mechanic!
What is it, maybe 3-5% of attacks are parried if from in front?
Ok not just me lol
I can't wait to RAID.
Press rupture -> brain lag when no sbs cp
The dn thing makes sense though because as assa I remember dn not going off on parries sometimes
But I swore it consumed it
Just the envenom goes off
If this is the same bug as that
It’s not super rare I feel
If it’s wrong to play trick on st then I’m just playing the sandbagging long game
Literal win win
Sub in theory
Should be like the worst class for heroic week since our tier is the best upgrade
Guidon is also soo good
Ye now that you can’t hold sectec
It might be a bloodbath
my main is in first split
Demon alt from hell with the rng of the gods is gonna be a terror
hahaha
That’s a crazy pre raid sim for sub
dude slapped some upgrades i see
This char had 3 slots left after first week of m0 and was full geared with 5 pieces to trade after week 2
Loot every boss pov
and 90s on use + 250 saptor
Are you using renown trinket outside of simming for fun
Main guy has it on
im just guessing that saptor and 90s flask are better for that guy
I've been trying to use the Vessel of Tormented Souls and oh my god the pickup graphic makes it unsuable.
I know like ww didn’t proc it a lot idk about rogue
yeah I’m sure it’s good
Ninjarobot was testing it extensively and it seemed a bit bricked
That 90s trinket simmed p dogshit for me
Before or after hotfixes?
You can queue LFR as a premade 25man group ?
I’m literally just guessing since the sim doesn’t work, surely a 90s on use is good even if it is understatted 
Yep
ye idk
just a quick questio... we pair a 2min trinket every time with shadowblades and if yes only every second blades or we delay blades for it?
Cheers, does faction matters ? Or is it ok as long as you're all in guild ?
Before
Yeah…
As long as you have a full group to queue with (Which is 30, iirc, not 25), you can queue together.
Sapling + the cavern soul trinket was best for my guys usually
Otherwise it won't let you cross-faction LFR.
I have no idea why it looks like this btw
Cd drift must go crazy over iterations
Soul trinket is very good but the sim assumes you are picking the souls up ASAP which is uh, um. Yeah good luck.
I assumed it just took a bigger average of time for burst
Im battle trained from dogshit trinkets in the past
And thus smoothed out dance spikes
It's somehow worse though, lmao
There should be basically zero cd drift right?
Like this was that character in actual gameplay (wasn’t playing the 90s yet)
weird things can happen
Yeah I saw that sim earlier
Where the robot just used secret technique outside of dance
SD+Storm optimization fuu mentioned in wowhead does not applied yet?
I see bot deals without casting SS.
That nonplussed me
@warm marlin you boys public logging hc/normal so i can yoink timers 
Gg
But ya we public log until mythic
Do you guys think Atrophic might fall off on vorasius
If you take too long to kill adds
Just a thought
They should make that last 1 min
Why is my raid debuff 10s long
Are they trying to say something about rogues
Enjoy the brez prio bucko
Monks and dhs have their buff up forever
No need to get em up
I realized this on last boss of taz
If you stand in place to do the mechanic atro falls off before the hard hitting dot goes out
Gotta stress test it with method before doing own raid 😄
Midnight subs don’t know this tech
Bingus u might’ve gotten cold blood removed with this one
I love this bully terminology. onl real gs played sub when it was bad. it's about time we have some arrogance 
I’m changing guidons icon to flag and larping as SL sub rogue
I swear in s3 tww in like 250 games from 2.1k to 2.4k i never ever saw any sub in solo shuffle. now If I que a bg out of 10 players 4 are rogues.
it's time we are elitist 
wait guidon even drops a flag
It does
it’s a sign
And maybe ds
I was thinking you could do guidon before blades
Like when you used to use flag
Rogues I have one doubt in the ST rotation, during Shadow Blades I stack a lot of Shadow Techniques stacks, what makes me do a lot of Shadowstrike overlap in order to proc Apex Talent.
Is there any limit to do that? Is always beneficial to proc Apex Talent? Sometimes I feel like I am pressing less Eviscerates that I should, but not really sure
I’m not seeing the value but it’s also 5am
Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.
Why tf is vorasius dagger bis over belo'ren's one ?
lol
What time does the US raid beta testing begin?
Curious on the class performances after changes
The us premium EarlyStart™ begins at 2pm et

Which timezone of european time?
that includes daylight savings
Did anyone know how does the talent “Deepning Shadows” works?
2pm eastern is -5 GMT and -6 Central euro time
huh
it extends dance based on haste
so presuming no delays US servers should be up at 7pm GMT or 8pm Euro central time
edit: unless its daylight savings then just minus 1
Yet but I want to know the specific calculation formula.
should just be 150%*haste
The raw stat number of haste you have (not including % buffs like alacrity or lust) converts to a certain % of haste, which is multiplied by 1.5 (so x haste = 10% excluding other buffs * 1.5 = 15%, then multiply base dance duration by 1.15)
As an example
multiply by 1.15 no?
er yes
It’s late ok
Is it
it's morning wdym
It's 10.42 mate
feels weird to say it's late when I just started working a bit over an hour ago
even though I know that it's different time zones
Muricans smh
I will smoke you on wordle for this
Maybe rogue's just fear Midnight
Possibly
They probably just can't sleep because whenever they do, they have nightmares about disappearing marks or being forced to single target the boss on deathstalker
I’ve done 2 all nighters recently trying to get ahead in grad school so I can have lots of time once mythic/m+ drops
Holy
If I did all nighters to study, I'd be anything but ahead
But maybe that's me being too oldge
Gotcha. You're doing a master's degree then or a PhD?
Just masters for now!
🙏 hell yeah grad school
What'cha working towards? Like, subjectwise
no wonder why we got so many brainiacs in here
@molten citrus @warm marlin oh thanks. It bothering me for a while
Pathology
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
any class full bug
Is there a particular reason both the wowhead and icyveins guide suggest belt as the second craft? are wrists/belts 1 to 1?
belt is eventually the bis slot
for the first craft you should just craft whatever suits your current situation best/sim it
yeah that's cool ty
went weapon first craft
but im gonna send a second craft pretty early
the American medical school thing is still a mystery to me
so trying to get ahead and work out what im doing
bit heard to get ahead with crafts since gear acquisition influences what you want to craft
2nd boss also drops a crit/haste wrists
What stats would you put on the dagger if you want to play some bosses with subtlety and others assa kill, haste, or haste mastery?
I will probably either send my 2nd spark craft after I've cleared normal/heroic raids or wait until mythic week
probably haste/crit if you need haste or mastery/crit if you don't need haste
You can also craft it in a pvp wrists/belt slam a socket into it and it prob just as good as a normal/hc one
And see what drops in mythic
Thats what im doing atleast
That implies that I'll do pvp
Fair
(hell no I won't)
Larias guides says this:
A weapon with an embellishment. You should craft it now for a boost going into N/H week then recraft it with Myth Crests on the 24/25th. If you do this, you only need to hold 80 Veteran Crests.
what do i need to hold 80 veteran crests for?
Crafting a second item with an embellishment I guess
Looking forward to hearing from NA if our buffs and nerfs are the "full" version or the "we forgot half of it" version
Same.
best is to wait for a craft
like
dagger
and then do normal/heroic
and see whichever slot you want to fill
so like belt/boots/bracers likely
that's my plan. I'll do my second craft on whatever slot I need the most after my vault on the 25th
yeah i guess i'll do taht
yeah but thts the 2nd spark right?
yea
i want to craft from veteran crest before norm/hc raid so ihave a 2nd embelishment
right?
the second embellishment is arcanoweave right
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
also there is no reason to hold veteran crest after craft right? i can just send it before raid?
So deathstalker sims highest for ST, is that a specifically pure ST thing? Most of the bosses seem to have adds, is it better to play trickster? or just slam DS?
trickster is better on cleave
Okay and 90% of the raid has adds
yep
so we're basically just trickster all raid
honestly
nah i think u can play DS on like 3-4 bosses, some cleave is not needed
ds only has one more thing to track and thats darkest night
in a pure st encounter thats quite alright
Don’t be surprised to see DS on fights where our add dmg isn’t needed
but the pad 
but the guide says bp at 2 targets!
fake propaganda by the sub overlords so they can 100 log by themselves
And that has what all to do with anything?
is the trickster raid build the build you'd want for fights with adds? or are there tweaks needed?
being a joke to tell your raid you absolutely have to use bp
yo can use the pvp token to craft 246/249 item
You actually thinking anyone else on your raid team has a clue about rogue let alone sub is the real joke. 
thats why you tell them you have to do it. since nobody knows what rogue does anyway
they also don’t fking care
im lucky i have a gm that asks me ''hey can ur class do this''
hopefully some of the gigachads raid super early on wednesday and i can just yoink all their builds
until prio targets don't die, then they do
per boss
i mean. it was just a joke. there is no need to look for further implications of what your raid does and doesnt lmao
gtfo
I would like to further dissect your joke
i'm not switching out of trickster
trickster so you can pull adds onto the healers while clearing trash
we dont care what u do honestly 🔥
cant wait for dagger to drop and surv get it 
holy heck, I forgot that I switched to assa before logging out yesterday and had a heart attack when my UI was completely cursed
its crazy how personal preferences work
just play trickster its only 2% behind on pure st
it took months
and its better in cleave
my own preferences are way more important than all of yours ofc
ur personal preferences is WRONG AND INCORRECT

does anyone of you still have this "spam protection" macro that we had with symbols last season?
need it for feint, which I bound to my mousewheel 
isnt feint on gcd?
no
not anymore
feint best defensive
didnt even notice lol
best change since df rework imo
you probably didnt use it, admit it
naa i probably overuse it
!guide
Yoink away
I tend to need cheat death for the odd pull where I fall asleep at the wheel
well its a cd
it's to protect me from the eternal rage of my raid team
cds r there to be used otherwise wasted talent
true
big ground aoe incoming, but you can squeeze 2 seconds out of your dance?
better make use of cheat death
healers problem
what about my macro tho 🙁
we r there to do dps and chew bubble gum
its like castsequence reset=1 feint, null, smth like that
guys, can anyone help me out with what im doing wrong?
according to sim Shadowstrike is suppose to be top dmg but for me its 3rd
do you have a log?
details shows 2 different shadowstrike, didnt know that
that too x)
on what planet does sim say shadowstrike is top damage?
send simulation
hmm
that's just a standard 5min patchwerk
can it have something to do with my level? i just simmed for fun at lvl 88
no
no sim should ever show shadowstrike as top damage
no it's because he doesn't have apex
level 88 with no apx
lmao
there's no check for apex 4
Holy Jesus. Hit 90
so it always hits !buff.ancient_arts.up
hahah
aohajin pointed it out the other day in tc-research xd
API designed for 90
“Lower level characters are not well supported. Invalid results or errors are possible.” 
thats why i asked if my lvl had something to do with it but you said no!
i just did for lols
no comment

atleast i learned something 😉
and this is how Tuesday is starting. 🙈 🔫
cloak can work too, its low stat budget
Lmaoooo
Why does my sim not use shadow blades? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/s3m36GDJUtoiMye7fdwaLR
(it's a joke, please don't cook my ass)
we play around danse macabre any way or not worth it?
to avoid nerfs (which has worked well the last two weeks)
Assuming you didn’t read either of the guides, or sub faq. No
is there any stat changes from DS to tricky?
haha
DS sims higher than Trickster on 2 targets https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mULjf1TKC9eLE4enXPb9MX
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9mrEh4tTytUxCpha43y41S - what's the breakpoint in number of extra targets to go trickster instead of DS
shadowblades overrated
keep simming and u will find out 
why do math if someone already math'd
because the math seems useless 🔥
u guys are the gurus, i'm just dumb dagger boy
tricky is better on cleave
how could knowing the number of targets that make a spec better be useless
that's silly
silly ratfart
any council
if the number ends up being 7
then i have to sim 7 times
whereas someone in here might have done it already
it is more efficient to ask the question
if the people responding aren't u
clearly
is the rotation any difference between DS and Trickster?
there is no 7 target 5 min fight 😭
the opener changes a bit
only slightly though
sub sucks on cleave. enjoy!
Apex talent optimization:
- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
thanks
5 mins on a dummy and youre set ngl
it sounds a bit complicated but i guess you're right
yeah probably, might check a youtube video or something
are there any rn?
It has basically no cleave. Only Sectech and nimble flurry
do we just send dagger craft
I would assume that we check out liquid and stuff today/tomorrow and just copy what they do no?
#subtlety-faq
The major difference is starting with dance+storm instead of dance+sectech
You can do. Worst case is it will become your OH.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I would probably just read up on the fights to learn them.
Craft a dagger with spark either haste/mastery or haste/crit if you plan to play outlaw.
Craft a second item with veteran crests for a non spark item and put an embellishment on it.
For peeps with raid today, what’s the most efficient use of time from the time that servers come up to raid later tonight? M0’s? Prey’s?
Guys we have black bars only after getting Ancient Arts? I mean I’m 80 and now I can’t see cdg like on streams sub rogues
Ah okay ty
dosnt sub also use same stats?
or is this outlaw tech
What?
nvm
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i read that as use either or if u plan on playing outlaw
But black bars showing CDG ye? Or I miss something
Last apex
once prog is over i'd probably play outlaw. but for prog i believe full sub would be the play
Sorry i forgot to tag the dagger craft question, was ment to be for that 
Oooh, haha. Sorry.
Yeah I was too fast typing haha
Although I don't think we should just copy what Liquid do 'cos they play at such a different level with a different approach
Haste crit is still very good for sub. Mastery is just shit for outlaw.
Sending no spark isn’t the play. 
fml, now I’m not understand because I saw it always when CDG rdy
Guess we'll play hunt as our embelishment
Do everything that gets you champion gear easily
Making a dagger is very low risk, and realistically unless you got double Mythic dagger drop week 2 of the season, you aren't going to waste the craft.
But would you say its wrong to copy the crafts they do? Or do they just wait for myth and craft then, are there any expectations?
And even then you can use it OH for embellishment because OH damage is absolutely neligable
Do we know if the veteran crests for m0 completion also reset daily now? Now = from the reset onwards
Well, are you raiding world first? Then you might wanna copy them. Otherwise you should probably just maximize ilevel, esp on your most impactful slot.
Just read the guide that fuu put blood sweat and tears into. Then you don’t have these same questions over and over
Copying anything that RWF raiders do is probably cooked for the most part, they have way different means than we mere mortals have
You do whatever you want.
Don’t ever assume streamers doing RWF are showing all the tech they actually believe in during prep week(s)
I need to find the image
Do you have a list of what that is?
yeah ur both correct, I just wait till tomorrow after I ran all m0s and craft a dagger then prob. Thanks for the help!!
2 dawgs
Thank you!
In that order
What’s cracked is SV hunters can spend crests on a 2H and both their 1H are free upgrades.
Because by the time you reach step 5 you will have lots of coffer keys for your 8 tier delves
I shoulda went SV
Hell ya. Appreciate the help. I’m still not high enough to unlock Noghtmare Prey though that blows.
Whats the fastest way to level the prey shit? I saw its just 50rep for one? Or how does it work correctly
u get 1000 per pray u do but its only for the first 4
damn
thanks for the info!
Can someone explain what should I do when up apex talent with black bars ? Can’t understand. Just use top prio finisher ?
Didn't you just say you're level 80?
Ye but I want learn before anyway
I watching guides and something
It unlocks this week. You have to run the storyline
Nothing. It’ll change by the time you hit 90
why does ds prefer going into dance with low cp? my sim still uses secret technique as first global most of the time
Wdym, I should not care about shadow technique stacks ?
Storm is good with DS
Not now no. The rules have changed 3 times in 10 days
Just hit 90
Worry about it once you've finished leveling and can practice and play around it.
im level 3 in preys, but i did a SHIT TON of prey, someone is ahead? i wont any exp from that random prey 😐
You can't get Season 4 on Prey until the reset. This'll unlock Nightmare hunts.
oh thank god.
It’s like chess, u can play it in ur head)
What are these Crest upgrade tips? I've already upgraded a ton of stuff.
Probably just saving to upgrade pieces you don't replace.
Basically saving Adventure/Veteran for overlaps with Champ gear for free upgrades
upgrade the tier under the tier you are upgrading to max, gives you free upgrades for the first or second level
i.e overlap
i understand that and have read the explanations for the macros but in a 5 min sim storm got pressed 1 time. possibly a stat issue on my char or something else?
Idk. No idea what has actually been pushed to the apl that’s live already. Welcome to new expansion sims and changes.
no worries, thanks
DS was largely “ignored” until this week
so now it’s getting looked at more
whatever they actually push today will change stuff again
when you have 4828 spell ids for every ability because of shadow dmg it’s a crap shoot of what they remember to flag.
Blizz trying to figure out what went wrong (they’re def not qualified)
We’re in a much better position bug wise than we typically are. So this is w/e

ok what's the most efficient thing to do on reset given i have between 3-4 hours to play before raid
I already upgraded the piss out of things because I had plenty, shouldn't this cover it?
i'm guessing world boss, delves and the weekly events maybe?
!fuu
Weeklies, World Boss, LFR, Preys Then Delves.
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ahh yeah preys
LfR maybe not time efficient.
nah i can't, have to save myself for my raid team
it's way more efficient to go in as a full raid
we do it every tier
We’re too split between alliance and horde
mmhm
that horde and ally can't group
we go in there as a full guild and then need roll on everything against the pugs haha
then our loot council goes over the loot
preys will drop heroic crests?
compared to the weekly stuff
yes m0 lowest
actually not sure what nightmare prey drops exactly
is it x2 champ or hero track gear
You get champ gear
cool
vet crests are big to get too
Can’t wait to get my shit pushed in by the delve boss
oh what lvl delve drops the max gear on bountiful
8 no?
8 is gear, 12 is crests
sick
Champ track, then hero with map
but there is no myth crests in heroic week so i assume there is no reaso nto push over 8
Nope
yeah no myth crests
jesus another question lol, if you've maxed out preys this week do we immediately get the questline to unlock nightmare
Plus 8’s are super easy so low time investment vs 12’s being 30-40ilvl below max at least
Rank 4 on prey unlocks nightmare
We were wondering this too
so if youre there then yes
mmm ok
i think so
ye im pretty sure its 3
So maybe you do your 3 or 4 Hard to unlock it
i've done a ton of hard preys so i'm definitely at the max
then you run like 4x any hunts and unlock nightmare
Same
sorry, i just know its 4 XD
ok cool
Yeah it’s def 4 that unlocks nightmare just a question of unlocking 4 lol
But ye probs just do your Hard hunts and that’ll unlock it
Will find out in six hours lol
yessir
ggs
means i usually wake up to the start of seasons late
you can also enjoy extended manteinance
lol could very well happen
1 last thing, in that image it says silvermoon weeklies, those are the special event thing right
cause u want keys for bountifuls
tight
man I hope the delve boss is hard enough that 4000 people don't kill it EU before I finish doing everything I need day 1
i have no interest in doing that thank god
oh i got big interest, it's fun to do early rather than later
the HoF ass title for it is just icing on the top
yeah that's what I fear
cause then I kinda have to just send it then
since EU will know the boss after NA
but if it's a pushover then people probably won't care about the "prestige" of the title
i mean the prestige is being top 4000 i guess
there is a difference when top 4000 means you are good or it means you are fast
but obviously if it's like tank and spank is the strat to kill the boss then ofc it kinda feels empty
but hey free title
Do you craft the dagger now? Or are you waiting to see how things change still?
if u want to
its mostly a safe bet since your embelish is on it, and it can always go into your offhand later when you get a mythic dagger, giving you a strong boost to output next week and start of mythic + and mythic raids
you can still wait to see if you want tho
!haste
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.
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target / Mythic+: Mastery >= `Haste(~18%, roughly 650-700)` > `Critical Strike` > Versatility
have yall been sending crests already?
Yep
pre raid crests are fairly low in use case once the raid is open
so excited to actually have content to do
man
two weeks of 'prep' felt like an eternity lol
i enjoyed 2 weeks of playing poe
me with RE9 lol
Me when I immediately go do delve nemesis instead of prepping for raid
though my consumable stockpiling is well underway, and this is probs the first xpac since maybe legion or bfa I didn't have every class at max level befor raid release
lmao this is exactly what I'm doing
my 242 rat ass is gonna get his shit pushed in
mine is 15 
Just my own skill holding me back
I did the ritual interrupted story a bunch
In atal aman yeah
sorry been awake for like 30mins lol
Same









but now it makes sense
