I have a whole system lol

craggy eagle
#

random question but, in those intervals where i dont have any shadow dances and i have sec tech up should i still use it?> or wait the 5 6 seconds till i have sd up?

swift tinsel
#

I pretty much never use augment runes but got them from first-craft-bonus patron orders lol

bleak night
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

or if they had the mats for me

bleak night
#

Ive got some from that and from healer call to arms

swift tinsel
#

ones asking for Roots or Nocturnal Lotus can fuck off lol

bleak night
#

So if they spike im just gonna dump them

swift tinsel
#

oh yeah I think I got a few from that too

#

was dabbling on holy priest in dungeons for a bit and its odd but good lol

bleak night
#

So I have to spend conc

fresh portal
#

Hi. So just tryin to make sure I understand this optimization

"As Trickster :Trickster: on all target counts: Try to ensure that you always have :ancientarts: active for your supercharged non-Secret Technique Finisher during :ShadowDance:. (This can mean using :ShadowStrike: at full CP to activate it)"

So basically, if we have a super charged CP, we want to make sure we are using a non-sec tech finished (coup/evis/black powder) with the apex talent triggered (the black bars) on the super charged CP? If we have a super charged CP but no apex, we then would have to use SS to proc our apex and then use the finisher.

swift tinsel
#

and I burn all mine on light's potential but now I have to bank it for potion cauldron bc it takes like...700 concentration even with max mats

thorny ridge
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

I have maxed potion tree for light potions but need more in the general alchemy tree

#

which is like 40 more skill points

#

and have max rank blue Tools/Accessories

bleak night
#

Yeah same with me for flasks

#

Need like 38 points before I can do r2

honest void
#

based cuh

bleak night
#

And every point between then and now does nothing

swift tinsel
#

I also have a swappable Tool, one with Resourcefulness stat and enchant and one with Multicraft stat and enchant lol

honest void
#

wait i thought 15 was the cap?

bleak night
#

I think it was 45

swift tinsel
#

so I can use the res one for crafting orders for free mats and the multicraft one for when I wanna batch stuff

bleak night
#

But i didnt get that far

swift tinsel
#

I could have sworn they capped her at 30

#

googles

bleak night
#

Maybe it was

#

And I just chose the best possible time to give up

honest void
#

damn so i defo need to level her ass now

swift tinsel
#

nvm its 45

swift tinsel
#

man I slacked so fucking hard lol but its fine I'm a delve machine and now that we get bountiful imma be running them so fucking hard

honest void
#

how long you think it'll take to get 30 xp levels xd

swift tinsel
#

maybe like 12 minutes

#

jk jk if I really go for it maybe a day or two

#

I usually max the delver's journey thing really fast unless they gate parts of it

cosmic dust
#

Why do we want her on 45?

bleak night
#

My only real hope for getting the hof is it not closing until reset

swift tinsel
#

her curios scale

honest void
#

because she is useful

bleak night
#

Otherwise I dont think its realistic for me

honest void
#

the more levels she has

sleek socket
#

Farstrider's Mercy worth to buy?

swift tinsel
#

I'm fully expecting it to close within the first day or two

bleak night
#

I expect it to reach enough people to close yeah

swift tinsel
#

4000 people doesn't really seem like that many per region

honest void
#

in EU that thing is closer early for sure

bleak night
#

But doesnt raid hof not close until the following reset after it has enough guilds

#

Thats my cope for this too

swift tinsel
#

maybe?

honest void
#

cause NA will show the strats on the fight

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

global release delve nemesis when

honest void
#

so I got work to do xd

swift tinsel
#

can't wait to watch tettles die to it 200 times

bleak night
#

Tettles killing kyveza is unironically what forced me to go back and do her week 1

#

I gave her a few tries then left

#

But then he killed and I couldn't lose to a boomkin

cosmic dust
#

Do you need any progress for the maps in delves to get hero items next reset?

swift tinsel
#

oh shit Gilded stashes start from Journey level 2

#

oh nvm myth crests aren't til level 4

#

ngl this one sounds pretty nice

#

also level 9 giving bountiful coffers a chance to drop hero track sounds real nice for alts

bleak night
#

I havent actually looked at delves journey

#

Does it happen to mention cosmetic daggers anywhere

swift tinsel
#

I haven't either until just now, I kinda like it

bleak night
swift tinsel
#

nah not that I saw

bleak night
#

Next season surely

swift tinsel
#

maybe its like Brann's hat and we gotta do the nemesis

#

then again wasn't listed in the rewards in the article about it

#

so idk

honest void
#

tbf doing a tier 10 delve tmrw will tell me if i'm rdy or not for the boss xd

swift tinsel
#

lol I know I'm not but I'm gonna give it the ol' college try a few times

#

will be a race to see if I get auto'd to death like yall said

bleak night
#

Yeah thats my main concern

#

If its just a skill check I think i can do it day 1 given enough time

#

But with us being in shitty s1 preraid gear

#

It might just stat check people who aren't tanks

honest void
#

yeah cause ky'veza was s3

#

so u still had some stats and stuff

hollow locust
#

is the double builder thing in lust still real? the sim doesn't seem to be doing it

honest void
#

stat checking is sadge cause ur basically forced to use a tank or tank class

hollow locust
#

so even out of lust?

wide shale
#

Also - we dont empower sec tech? I didn't know this. Can someone explain?

fiery fog
#

because it only amplifies the physical dmg part of sectec which is pretty low i think (if you talk about apex talent)

lilac stag
wide shale
#

perfect. good to know. I did not know this. =]

fresh portal
#

can I build on the question above - so do we only double builder to use an apex finisher on a super charger cp (not sec tech though)?

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).
hallow matrix
#

Has the ONLY IN LUST change been ditched?

calm cloud
#

jo

hollow locust
#

so if im trickster: its only for supercharge, which most of the time is going on ST, so we would ignore it most of the time except for like the 2nd dance in blades?

fiery fog
#

ideally (right now) you would do it on every supercharged finisher

#

so basicly the first two finisher after a dance

#

or 4 if you supercharge pre pull

hallow matrix
#

providing it's not sectec^

hollow locust
#

ah yeah ofc it has charges

#

okay, tyty!

#

tis silly

fiery fog
#

is there really a time where you have the apex outside of dance

#

before a sectec

calm cloud
#

aoe with vanish maybe?

sage ivy
#

does the sim not prepull sd for supercharger? should affect opener a lot for trickster no?

hallow matrix
#

Do you need to play around pooling SHT stacks pre dance? or does it just natty workout having enough for the second finisher of a dance?

fiery fog
#

you can stop using finishers a few seconds before sectec comes up to get more sht stacks

silk fiber
#

Imma be real I think i do the delves boss on my monk healer i feel invincible on the damn thing and do like 30k single target which isnt crazy but if its chip damage then I'll never die, if its one shots though gonna have to try on the rogue

grand wyvern
sage ivy
fiery fog
#

thats honestly just minmax

#

its 2 supercharged finishers more in the whole fight

cinder zenith

#

your sim probably didnt hit 5sht stacks

do anyone knows why the cooldown of secret technique is different between deathstalker and trickster?

sage ivy
cinder zenith
sage ivy
#

no problem perfecto from echo esports

exotic steeple
#

Why do we not open backstab>evis(SnD)>vanish>backstab and proceed

#

On the wowhead rotation for ST

#

Or does it not matter since we will evis after seq tech anyways

#

And its a wasted vanish or?

graceful rock
tribal vortex
tribal vortex
#

and it's better to keep vanish for some mechanic

#

or mobility

fiery fog
#

imo its more fluent to just get into dance asap in the opener and use vanish after your second dance is over

cinder zenith
tribal vortex
#

it's also kinda muscle memory

#

so whatever suits you

cinder zenith
#

sou Here i have to x2shadostrike ?

fiery fog
#

no you sectec

cinder zenith
#

well ye

#

i mean the next cast

fiery fog
#

depends on if you have 5 sht stacks or not

tribal vortex
#

also it is better to use the dance sectec macro, so you dont waste seconds of blades and dance

subtle pine
#

Does anyone have a rogue macro video they can send me?

chilly dagger
tribal vortex
#

for trickster you want to enter dance with 6-7 and as DS with 0

fiery fog
#

you want to dance+storm at low cp

wind willow
#

That sim picture already has ancient arts so it doesnt need to double shadowstrike.

cinder zenith
#

but i have a supercharged proc*

#

its not the mandatory condition?

are we actually going DS on these fights? is it like just vor?

tribal vortex

What is sectec?

You need to cast dance like 0.25 after trinket otherwise it doesn't benefit from dance

Yeah ok , I find it easier pressing sb then sec tec 2 dif buttons

#

but to each their own

#

iam testing a bit: finding myself in this situation quite often, after i consumed 2 dances in blades. i try not to use dance, if blades comes up within the next 10 secs, still ending up having st up and no dance charge.

#

is this just how it goes or am i doing something wrong

lilac stag
#

you're asking us to make a lot of assuptions without logs

mighty citrus
#

i know i know. its really basic at this point. just started hitting a dummy, this directly happens after i used dance + st AFTER my 2nd blades are finished.

why 1pt in finalty is better than The rotten?

#

Do we use silent storm in ST? I can't see any info about it in the guides

formal raven
#

I just read the wowhead guide and it told me we don't to empore secret technique because of how it interacts with the Apex Talents. I don't really get why we don't

fiery fog
vale pine
#

^ this

#

most of the damage of secret is in the clone attacks

wild vine

#

Real talk do you think the only reason trickster isn’t the same or better dps st as deathstalker is due to the 1.2s hard gcd of coup that means we’re missing several gcds by the end of a 5m sim?

but its like

even if you accidentally use the wrong one

Or dslice for that matter

swift tinsel

trying to see the Vessel spirit orbs will be fun in raid

steel zinc
swift tinsel

(I'm a plume believer fuck vessel)

wild vine
swift tinsel
#

same

#

they have a spawn animation which is okay

#

you can game it a little and not pick them up to stack some for dance/blades

#

and they ironfur

bleak night
#

they made the souls a lot more visible too

swift tinsel
#

so you can get rng'd

#

did they?

bleak night
#

than what they originally were

#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

hm

they used to be super tiny little orbs

maybe dial it up a lillll bit more lol

bleak night
#

#

Are trinkets simming correctly? I thought Ranger General Insignia trinket was bad, but it sims so much better than Light Company Guidon?

swift tinsel
#

I have particle density/spell stuff turned to max and they could still use a bit of a bigger visual indicator

#

maybe I'm just cooked lol

lilac stag

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

likely want to use it with puzzle box

#

or we use the haste trinket too

swift tinsel
bleak night
#

it just was somehow even harder to see before

fiery fog
swift tinsel
#

the spawning of them is rng

lilac stag
#

use the pvp trinket instead

vale pine
#

so you can "optimize" it if you want

#

more

swift tinsel
#

hmm

#

bc they have a very long duration

#

1min iirc

vale pine
#

but its already simming as one if not the best

swift tinsel
#

I'll have to double check how long they persist on the floor

#

bc maybe you gather them for big add spawns etc

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

NA maintenance rn

#

for at least 4 hours

vale pine
#

oh

swift tinsel
#

so maybe EU chad can check?

#

bc that would be good to know

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

I wanna say its max like

#

20-30sec

vale pine
#

moment

formal raven
#

I also had another question come up if anyone would be so kind and enlighten me:
We want to proc Coup with AA that much I get. My question would be if it's better to always proc another instance of AA during Shadow Dance or just use two finishers "back to back" (if you get full combopoints from AA).

swift tinsel
#

I would assume any track trinket would have the same duration of floor persistence

vale pine

# hazy lichen Are there any such things as a sub rogue gearing guide

What would you expect from a gearing guide?

  • Craft weapon with hunt embellishment
  • Get 4p
  • Try to get your hands on the trinket from first boss and a decent passive trinket
  • Get highest item level in each slot (preferably without vers)
  • Craft whatever slot of the low stat budgets is best after raid with 2nd embellishment

wicked joltBOT

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.

Really, now that I think about, trickster could be hero spec that spams more shadow clones but deathstalker has less shadow clones but stronger ones

Death stalker just has a shadow clone pet that mimics finishers

empty cargo
heady garden
#

they should lean more in to the plague damage aspect of deathstalker imo, it's the forsaken assassin's guild

graceful osprey

Unholy rogue

magic coral
#

so is sub good at cleave compared to other specs

bleak night
strange chasm
#

Sub is going to rip this raid I'm pre sure

#

It will 100% get nerfed

heady garden
#

sub is good in burst aoe

graceful osprey
#

I’m not sure about compared to other specs but I believe our burst cleave/aoe is pretty decent

bleak night
#

if the adds only survive two globals and you have sectec/coup ready then the cleave is probably fantastic

heady garden
#

lower target cleave is the weak point

bleak night
strange chasm
#

It's going to be very strong and most craft dagger first + tier set is insanely strong so will be prio and blizzard will knee jerk nerf before other classes get their stuff online

#

Calling it now

heady garden
#

its fine, we just pivot to assa right garf

golden totem
#

Second to last boss voidspire outlaw prog confirmed POG

#

They can't complain now

Pally council fight is one of the only fights I’m considering playing sin on. The rest are sub.

#

id rather be benched

magic coral

yeah i really hate sin since the rework, just feels so bad to m at least. If outlaw is better id proly go with that personally

stiff spear

so NA, do you have daily lockout m0 and champion gear today?

golden totem
#

There is another 2 boss raid coming after, so it would be fourth to last boss

#

I'm very curious about last boss voidspire tuning

lucid jackal

Mainly cuz paladin exists at the end of the raid

#

Is guy just deleting assa

strange chasm
#

I'm pre sure sub will still find a way lmao.

sharp peak
#

Guy just setting himself up for another tweet

graceful osprey
#

For me, sub feels good right now. It’s a good baseline to me. Blizzard just needs to do well on building on what we have now

left ledge
#

Sub will be ok

#

We aren’t gonna be op

#

As long as there’s bursts of aoe in 20 second intervals

#

We will be good

strange chasm
#

Even then you can still hold as long as blades isn't up

#

And move your damage

lucid jackal
#

All the rogue specs have something rn

graceful osprey
#

I think we’re still good at on demand burst when needed

lucid jackal

I'm just waiting a few days to look at wcl atp

3% damage reduction poison lets goooooo

If sub good -> play sub
If sub bad -> play sub and get high parses

heady garden

3.6% ackshually

Ahhh yeah 3.6%

Let’s goooo

lilac stag
#

joke on you ackshually. No one plays spec, parses way harder.

grave kelp

Survival hunter type cope

hollow spear
#

the more meta sub, the better your parses

lilac stag
#

nah just the way numbers work. I know math is hard.

hollow spear
#

the diehard sub players who sleep with their subtlety t-shirts on will take the top spot and your parse will look worse because there's less meta slaves you can beat

karmic harbor
#

Anyone in here even considering playing outlaw

lilac stag
stable plume
lilac stag
#

don’t let the assa rerollers influence you cause their spec is “dead”

stable plume

Unless they’re drastically different or you’re pushing for crazy high WR, it doesn’t matter what spec you are

graceful osprey
#

Only true chads play sub

strange chasm
#

Ass will get buffs and be really fucking good on every fight. It's the cycle of life man.

karmic harbor
#

Is outlaw simming a lot higher

strange chasm
#

Not sure how good their cleave is though if it's about the same

stable plume
lilac stag

Don’t matter if you parse low or high, if you play sub, you’re a Chad

karmic harbor
#

Deathstalker... Is simming highest?

#

It's so over

stable plume
lilac stag
#

it’s not but ok

graceful osprey

This is how I greet other sub rogue enjoyers

heady garden

they need to give it back

ok that color is amazing

oh it was even 1s when it was removed

yeah give it back

and it was 2.5m cd

lilac stag

all the money they made from horde swapping offf Belf

It was the best racial because then MDI won't be 50 dwarves anymore 😤

bleak night

aoe cc was nowhere near as prevalent back then so i get it

#

but i want it back now

#

well actually i want racials to be entirely decoupled from power at all but

i'd take this as a second option

I’d swap back to horde for tbc belf racial

so if i want to reroll to outlaw(only if a miracle happens) best stats for crafted dagger are haste/crit?

You can always just recraft it

Is it possible to track all neccessary buffs with blizzards cd manager?

magic coral

for sub yeah, not too much to track

spice matrix
#

Damn is it a Panda tier

modest snow
#

should I stick to weapon craft anyways or is there an angle to justify double armour spark craft if I can get the mythic track dagger from vorasius early

spiral needle

dagger craft is because the embellish lasts forever in offhand

one way or another

ty will do that then

you're a fake

do you like them flat or busty

bursty*

bleak night

both

both is good

oh bursty

if you've played outlaw forever, you'll find sub boring or nice and relaxing

outlaw still the hardest spec of the 3

just realized i have no idea what outlaw even looks like ICANT

spiral needle
#

i've born witness to them

left ledge
#

last time i really dedicated a braincell to that spec was in shadowlands

spiral needle
#

but a lot of it is people greatly overthinking it, the new version where you only care about empowered points is so simple

sleek musk
#

If shadowblades has like 20 seconds remaining and I’m starved on energy do I just build combo points and wait for it to come off cd?

#

Similar to last tier

left ledge
#

you would just do your rotation normally

#

you play around sectec

lilac stag
left ledge
#

do they still spam BTE for 5 years

spiral needle

it feels very similar, pre midnight, just without a million bones reroll rules

ah yes the rules that i just slapped into a WA

I was using nephui, but trying to explore some options

Outlaw legit has a command for it.

I use ArcUI

arcui opened my third eye recently, it's amazing and worth learning over any other lazy CDM addon

Can anyone explain this aa thing for me? Do we use shadowstrike till we get all 4 of them or what doea it mean?

depends how many clueless chuds are on the spec

it's hc week

so we're in the middle

but sub has a LOT of pad potential from what im seeing

honest void

all that matters is the pad

we are the pad

deny all other pad

How many panda rogues we gonna see without a food buff OMEGAKEKW

Do we send second spark craft before raid today?

lilac stag

just craft a 246 vet item with embellishment

copper linden

That’s what I thought, I should have been more clear just wanted to double check

lilac stag

An extra 13 ilvl on belt or bracers ain’t going to do you anything but make you miserable when a socketed mythic version drops week 1 of Mythic and it goes to the boomkin because your spark craft is there

and by that I mean speedrunning setting my EUI up again after it got nuked

setting your ui is the real endgame for midnight

Hello dear rogues, do we upgrade any veteran gear or not? Also do we craft any non spark gear? Sont know what to do.

If anyone is raiding today, can they let me know if mass dispelling the Lightblinded Vanguard's bubbles still works. Because I'm lazy and don't want to look it up tomorrow if someone can just tell me today coup_de_grace

radiant shore
#

does someone wanna share their blizzard cooldown manager? the link on wowhead seems to be brokey(?)

swift tinsel
#

so I can let you know if we go for it

keen dome
#

Yeah I assume most people will be 'cos it'll make the pull a lot smoother.

swift tinsel
#

I'll be a bit surprised if its allowed personally

#

but never know

keen dome
#

Yeah, since it'd basically mandate the dispel class but

swift tinsel
#

maybe that's why they added a big shield nuker to shadow pr...oh wait

keen dome
#

It'd be thematic and funny. The heroism timings are annoying to explain to people who don't get the fight cadence otherwise

#

So I want to update my guide to "Just do it on pull if you have a mass dispel" because it's gonna be easier for the groups using my suggestions.

swift tinsel
#

but if you can Mass Dispel maybe you can also Consume Magic, Purge, etc

keen dome
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

I'm gonna ask if we can try any of those before MD just in case

keen dome
#

That'd be super useful info imo

yo im very sorry for this redundant question and i know !aa exists but i have conflicting information. Ive been told to only shadowstrike into full CP when in hero because the double finishers are better damage outside of hero. and the recommended raid spec is Trickster. Do i spec Trickster and double finisher or do i play Deathstalker and send into full cp ?
