Sorry for the question, but I just simmed my Sub Rogue on Target Dummy and it says 39.6k DPS, upon doing 5mins on a dummy myself I managed 37.2k - are the dummy sims a reliable way to see if I'm doing the rotation well?
yes, you would delay dance/secret if blades comes up in less than 10 secs
so you can line it up
oh I do delay sectech / dance if blades is coming up in 10s
yes
that's what leads to the scenario of having a dance charge up with one incoming in 10s when blades comes up
is that just normal?
thats normal
did you use combat potions?
hmm
want a log?
best way to find out is to post a log, just do a !log
!log
i need to do m0's in a few minutes so don't have a lot of time to look right now, but maybe someone else has time
Hello, how am i supposed to use Algeth'ar Puzzle Box? Casting it right before entering SB?
yeah no worries, I am missing an enchant on a weapon but that's not the difference between a blue parse & doing well
ye, use it with blades
K thx, its a little clunky, cause it has GCD and casting time
we've solved that box's puzzle for multiple tiers, you'd think we would solve it instantly by now

but no, still 2 seconds
Gonna deal with it i guess 
I just want to be able to do it in stealth
is there a way to track the trinket buffs? With the removal of WA, i seem to not able to get it in the buff manager
i mean its simple - box -> cooldowns. But i agree, its not the most "fun" to play around
Curious why the FAQ says to only buff non sectec finishers with AA in dance. Does AA not buff sectec?
is it trickster all the way for bosses rn? even saladbar seems like almost 100% trickster from logs
only works on the physical part of it
and most of secrets damage is in the clone attacks
Oh yeah, I loved the tracking of items such as pots and trinkets. Was a huge help. Shame it's not possible then
Got it. Thanks
a few addons allow it, Arc UI has innate support, BCDM might as well, Will's CDM I think has a pane for it
ayije cdm also has it
Wait where do you see that? I cant seem to find it am I blind
none of the bosses are pure single target sadly
just below the macros
Its there in #subtlety-faq

Apex talent optimization:

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
ye im aware but i thought deathstalker should still be ahead on vorasios or saladbar
Aaaa thank you
hello, do yo uuse an addon to track poison buffs ? and do you have an other one to remind you to dance before pull ?
It is say to play around 700 haste on Trick but the sims is always less than 600 🤔
i thought its just 18%
I use Buffreminders addon to keep track of poisons, but that's for food, raidbuffs and everything
18% in theory, 20% to be more confortable with some input lag delay
just waiting for an addon to go with vessel of tortured souls, or blizzard to realise you can't see the souls in raid lol
@vale pine when does the APL prefer to double dance in blades (outside of lust)? I can’t seem to figure it out
Seems like with and without tier have both instances, even at 700 haste
I haven’t checked to see if flag trinket is a part of it but thought I’d ask
the apl does not force it outside of holding when blades is close
Ah
so it naturally double dances or not
is anything outside of patchwerk reliable? What do you use for a fight like chim?
if dance is not ready 
Ah ok
so should i try to go 700 or should i listen sims ?
So it’s just more important to not lose dance sectecs?
hectic add cleave maybe
there is always the possibility of more optimizations, but unless you do specific raid events like damage amps or stuns, simulations should work fine
i am not a fan of hectic add cleave
as it spawns high amounts of adds
ok
any supercharger reminder addon guys ?
specific encounters like paladings are also more like 3 target cleave
so you do patchwerk 3 targets ?
Are there any optimizations we should do? Like holding buttons at specific cds or using certain abilities first?
@vale pine wait sorry if im misunderstanding your previous message. does the APL not care about pooling to have like 1.5dances before sending ShadowBlades? So if i have blades up and i only have 1 dance it still will send?
the apl does hold cooldowns for blades for the ~9-10 seconds, but it does not pool more than that
heroic weapon ?
dance lasts 8+ sec
crafted + champ from skyreach
so holding your cooldowns for these 10 sec means you already get one charge back once the dance is finished
If you can check too need some advice
when do we use puzzle box? Right after first shadowstrike and before blades?
okay yeah that more lines up with how i have been playing thanks. ❤️
i hate cast time trinkets lmao
With the new AA rule, would it make more sense to make sure AA is up before entering dance?
Then we could send the AA eviscerate first, and sectec second so they would both still be supercharged.
Would avoid us having to SS in dance at full CP to proc AA for the second finisher
im new to subtletly, is it normal to have some down time where you are starved of energy/combopoints when you have no shadow dance up? (not super often but definitely in prolonged fights)
yea just makes the opener feel super clunky
Yes
before going into cooldowns
yes, thats normal
subtlety is ressource flooded during cooldowns
but outside starved
Premeditation is bugged to prevent apex from working while the premed buff is up gg
!premed
There is a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts. This is not something you need to play around, as using Ancient Arts of Secret Technique is about the same value as using it on a regular Eviscerate.
after aoe nerfs is sub still good for dungeons
there will be more tuning next week, so we will see
I got LFR Tier shoulders, but my Heroic Delve piece was shoulder as well.
Should I use a catalyst to get 2 set on a champion piece or should I hold it for vault and upgrade those shoulders after I open it?
The 2 set for sub seems kinda insane to not have for my raid today.
This is OBJECTIVE and FACTUAL
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
On bright side all the rogue specs seem to be the same
none is really ABOVE the other it seems
Is it actually 25% or u rage baiting too.
i mean they got a huge hotfix
because it has a lot of players
Are we winning?
since all the tier list youtubers everyone rolled uhdk for MN
meanwhile we are just stealthed in the corner like normal
Is there any way to track the bufo of the receptacle bead?
yea all 3 suck lmao
lol

Ye
maybe global rogue buff 15%
do you still get a free piece of tier for completing aotc again
main character spec
Cause they don't have a raid buff guys
idk i seem to get pulled out of stealth frequently in a lot of dungeons lmao

rogues are the character u see in the first scene of the movie, then never again
we were in the housing cinematic! With DFA!
Blizz should make enrage timers sooner, I feel like 10:30 is just mean. THat's so much time!
When using enchant on a weapon - does it matter whether it's MH or OH? Because I can enchant my crafted dagger right now with "main hand enchant" but the weapon will eventually go into off hand when I get mythic dagger from raid
It doesn’t matter

2button spec
it’s outlaw tier. You don’t have to
Well
I hope it is outlaw tier
I want it to be outlaw tier. I am willing it to be outlaw tier.
Just grapple to it
Alleria
So I was lied to
Theorycally second to last boss
Why is it unplayable as Outlaw, outta interest?
Oh paladins :^)
Oh wait is it the pacify
I mean, sub seems to be doing a bit behind the other 2 specs but it also has a tier set 10% better than the other 2 specs so
And 10% is a big number
Dk literally got a 25% buff
Yeah the sub tier percent is silly.
Oh shit valeera secret boss?
The one from the 2 raid boss is last boss
I knew she was trolling my delves!
Where's the other Windrunner sister anyway
Also ik im just trollin u
Did Blizz forget about her. I don't remember her name
Vareesa?
She gets a mention in the dungeon
!trinkets
Good enough
What weapon enchants did u guys go for? crafted the expensive stat one?
1 min downtime phase, twice in the fight, also coincide with 1 minn 30 cds for sub, as in they come back when boss gets back up
Or it was like that on liquid stream at least
oooh. Okay yeah that makes total sense.
Its always a sub tier bud
But it could've been an Outlaw tier and that would've been really funny.
Imo sin execute is gonna matter a lot on that fight
I mean we don't know
I'm just saying that boss is probably bad for outlaw
Could be an outlaw tier tho
Shh we dont push sin
Till after buffs
(hehe xd)
@swift tinsel if I don’t have tier, I have 702 haste and guidon, and I’m using the CDR curio in delves how do I line up my sblades with dance and Sectech?
Infinite "can I use my crafted dagger OH" posts
i wonder how dmg ranking will look when everybody has tier set
Just loot 2
Also I'm really starting to feel old in WoW. Two back-to-back 10:30 pulls on Chiarmius and my mouse arm is killing me.
This is why outlaw is unplayable
well it is for me
2 buton spec is ideal except when the boss fight goes on for 10 minutes
My BP finger is tired
Hello, Do we still use shadowstrike at 5+ shadow techniques?
flip two coins, then flip table
What curios are people playing with valeera?
Context?
Hello, is there a section on the Discord server that lists the best items to craft for the Rogue Subtlety?
To get apex talent proc. I've heard that it's only optimal inside lust and that you only do with supercharged cps

See above and it's not lust depending
new rogue here. do sub rogues do more dmg behind targets in pve? seems hard in huge groups to see when you are behind a target
Not really no
It's this line 'Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - ☑️ Yes'. Looking at logs and other guides it seems very debatable.
Technically backstab does, but it does practically no damage anyway.
But yeah if you are playing deathstalker you lose ~3% of dps standing infront of raid bosses
do they have anything else in works for sub rogues?
should i still use haste flask at 607 haste?
tier
unironically i genuinely think thats their approach
so we'll be usefull again when tier gear is aquired eh?
did the raid last night ended up around 3-4th dps... but hell I outgeared everyone and they had blues ugh
Don't do then
What you want me to say 🙂
I know we want to hold Dance for SecTech, but do we just send Dance as long as we can get a single SecTech in during the window, or do we want to hold Dance long enough so SecTech eats one of our charged CPs?
well ideally you want to sectec first in dance
just wait so its supercharged
is there a list of racials around by chance?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bYvdruU3E7N4qW9hjg7EHC Any suggestions?
appreciate the reply but that's why i'm asking here
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dTckFQQfqmQxj6WVex4rWa why does my sims change haste at 16% to more crit gear ``?
hey, do we craft weapons ?
So like, when do I use puzzlebox?
i use it 3 secs before pull
Right before blades
probably can't hit breakpoint anyway with the options you have selected so it opts for more crit
!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
So we follow those stats even when sims say take 550 haste and more crit in dslice?
With my selected option I could reach 100 haste +
Stil it says take mastery / crit
Ready to raid
with the changes to the robot you need to be able to hit like 680-700 range (it was made more realistic to what players can do)
then it will probably recommend haste, assuming you aren't saccing infinite mastery to pick up infinite vers in the process
hey guys u craft a dagger for raid ? with sparks ?
Okay, but it could be less dps output if we fully go haste to reach those breakpoint(s) because we are missing mastery / crit … or is this a simtrap and we should make sure to reach those haste numbers always?
Did our priorities for small AOE changed with the nerfs?
Assuming sim is fixed to account for it, listen to sim ig
I was today years old that I realized how important backstabbing from the back is
Its not really that important
like a couple percent different?
No
Is that because backstab isn't a big source of damage?
think it hardly cracks 1%
anyone has spec suggestions for each boss ? more like feelcraft rather than data
backstab doesn't do much damage in the first place
backstab good only irl
in multi target when apex proccs you do shurikenstorm into blackpower blackpowder or keep doing shurikenstorm into just one blackpowder?
no it will never be a simtrap
can acuity of rendorei proc off of main and off hand? my sim is saying i should put on both
just try to get more haste gear to comfortably sit there and then enjoy having to buy new gems and enchants every time you get a new piece of gear
the life of 2/3 of the rogue specs
Yes, just do both
ok ty!
Is it worth to wait to use catalyst for a better piece of gear or use it on champion to get 2 piece? No drops from hero
if my nimble furry is lowere in aoe, and have a higher ilvl and 2pc, what exactly am i doing wrong
in comparrison to another rogue
Probably uptime and also make sure you use coup de grâce over black powder, make sure to macro it
i think waiting for ancient arts conditions outside of cooldowns is a dps loss fwiw
So the apex talent optimization happens infrequently then if it requires a supercharged point to fish for it
backstab and shuri were buffed for reasons clones be darned

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
You might double ss only after you hit dance.
ok so basicly im monky
ah you can macro coup into BP?
I thought it would happen more often but makes sense why it isnt hugely impactful
Yes and you 100% should do you don’t have to worry about it
thank you so much!
same doubt
also just having good keybinds in aoe adds so much dps, 1 for shuri 2 for bp T for sec tec R for shadowstrike
thanks man, and i assume uptime is being in melee?
yes
What's your addon for enchant? It's nice
Yes, because your auto attacks can trigger nimble flurry as well
ah, i guess i suck at that part when there are 10 to 12 mobs
having sec tec shadow dance for add phase on the double dragon fight will naturally gap just about everyone else on the meter for example
Turn on “enable action targeting” in options-combat
If you’re losing targets in big aoe and aren’t quick to tab or click
New to sub this season, played it way back in df. Struggeling to break like 50k overall dps in raids. Is the spec weak or im i dumb?
just to clarify, I'm never using sectech outside of shadowdance right ?
The nimble flurry is secondary, the main reason you need to remain in melee and auto attack is that a large portion of all of your energy and combo points come from Shadow Techniques, which only happens when in melee
Is there a way to track The first Dance talent?
Unfortunately no
Are you guys crafting 272 dagger with your hero crests yet or holding
No
can i add the names of the abilities coming with the blizzard dbm timeline?
If you do that and then next week you craft them with myth crests youve just wasted all of your hero crests
Lol that's what I thought
Seen a couple sub rogues in LFR with 272 daggers and I was wonderin'
Just storm > bp > bp
What about champ crests, you think it’s worth it?
I mean same thing applies
If you dont expect to get any myth crests then go ahead

Thats all there is to play around with ti
yeah ik
wait do u only do it for the first 2 points after dance?
or the entire duration of dance
I’m kinda late to the party and don’t mythic raid, just do keys. I wasn’t sure how valuable the champ crests are right now
send em on whatever, we have m+ next week so champ is no longer relevant
Ok that was kinda my thinking but none of the endless YouTube videos about crafting I watched even mentioned champ crests, thought I might be missing something
plan was to recraft with myth crests, figured having a 272 dagger would make getting to the 10-12 range for myth gear was the play
Just a quick question do I need to play heavily into danse macabre or not for st?
your precious 80 hero crests go to waste when you myth recraft though
heroic raid prog and all that
Dratnos mentioned them twice this week
i mean that's 4 upgrades on a piece not in my bags
surely just crumping a 10 is just as valid
is there a way to get tier sets if i dont do normal/hero raids?
The catayst is about it. Or vault.
also you can score 30 myth gilded off the ?? boss
253 with that haste ring from heroic voidscar here
how much do you sim with ~250gs ST?
Is there a bug with Saptors claw simming, Hero Saptors is simming lower than 250ilvl Sapling of the Dawnroot for me?
for damage amp windows in raid, should we hold 2 sd's or just one with SB?
Can somebody tell me why emberwing sims like shit for me but is A tier according to Wowhead and blood mallet?
probs haste cutoff points
real quick
do we go
potent powder instead of weaponmaster on first boss of voidspire
Depends if u wanna pad or kill the boss faster
fwiw dslice preferred crit flask from murder row/patch's crooked hook over puzzle box etc
So i need higher base haste on other parts to replace it?
Then you know the answer
my buddy has their main hand enchanted and they get ahead occasionally etc application matters more in the long run
if you're not fully setup the sim might skew towards weird answers is what i'm saying?
when we use CD's and 2x dance during blades, we still use only 1 sectech there? like does SecTech dictate when we use dance, im finding out that at some point i dont have dance charges when sectech is up towards the end of the fight
On lower ilvl it does not actually give an additional global in dance
When I sim with crucible do I change any of the settings when I sim it?
its just that easy lads
During second Blades i find it often that i cant do back to back dance, even tho i use dances always with sectech
do i still use 2 dance during 2nd blades?
anyone able to give me the run down on why sin looks to be overperforming sub and outlaw according to logs? thought sub was the go to, or is it just a matter of getting tier and breakpoints?
last boss on normal
xd
adds/bosses dying before ramping does a 180
Are you guys being given tier?
Have not checked a spreadsheet to see dmg buff %
If there is one
You need to hold sblades for 10-12 seconds or you need to hold a dance charge before sblades.
im a new rogue and havnt touched the class since BFA, so any help/insight would help a ton
Proper planning prevents poor performance
i dont use dance or sectech if blades is <10sec CD but still
Wowhead

Glhf
No one has gear / tier and we’re reliant on a trinket and 4pc as we have likely the highest return of damage gettin 4pc of all dps
If you don’t have a charge in the chamber it won’t matter
i got 2 set for being the rogue on our roster for multiple seasons 
nice, gz
ty fuu , i check wowhead very often xd:D
gotcha ok - guess its more target dummy practicing and syncing dance and sectec with my haste values - cheers
hi guys, is there any "talent by boss" in wowhead? 
I've gotten 1 normal tier and we're 2/8 hc
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
Was shocked to be prio for it but I guess it's good for us?
ye some prefer to gear tanks and healers first
Who in their right mind is gearing tanks and healers
it is still the same rule after the "nerf"? 2 targets shadowstrike and sb. 3 targets shuriken storm and sb?
it makes sense its not like there's a hard enrage this season

in double dance with blades do we sectec if it comes up during second SD or afterwards with a fresh SD?
if you can fit the sectec wholly within dance then you use it
@vale pine 
Hey guys, is there a reason we don't use a "dry" sectec 10s before 2nd blades, so we send sectec as the first finisher during 2nd dance ?
isn't it like +1% or something, on paper that seems interesting ?
sometimes that could be optimal but depends on fight length
and casts
so...

holding up unseen blade/coup procs if you grief it?
It is a silly looking word isn't it
either way you're getting one sectec in blades like that
Well you dont get 2 sectechs in blades doing that

^
yer
Ha with the tier set that's right I'm dumb
seems okay without it but yeah lol
nvm
ty. feels really weird because dance comes up shorty after again haha
i think there's some crazy ass haste point in which you can do that too
i forget what though
but nothing worth discussing here
tbh feels like im not sending shadowdance more often by accident this season
not sure if keyboard switch is worn out or what 
is it okay to not folow the bis stuff in wowhead even tho i have the gear, cuz it seems to mess up my stats when i change some lol
like i have the ring from magisters but when i change it out with the other ring thsy i have i lose so much haste
Shouldn't you be sending sectech only with supercharged combo points?
preferably yes
the academy box trinket is casted?? wtf and its one of the bis?
but there are situations where that isnt the case
like when you're dancing twice in blades
Nah I asked him to pin a list of talent changes in here since it’s minimal.
We do dance twice in the blades?
That sims better than everything for me lmao, except raid trinkets
ok, just dance twice in blades if you can afford to dance a third time after for sectec
otherwise dont
Didn’t this conversation just happen? Hahahah
let’s see if it lands this time
but it is what it is
our cds are extremely unintuitive right now
probably the most jank our cds have ever been
imagine dust with people looking for an easy just spam BP spec
rogue so ass gg
second dance in second SD makes after SB even more boring lmao
Is there a list of rotational changes when we get the Tier set?
Yes here it is:
no change of rotation from tier
You guys say that it's better to talk haste numbers instead of %, but what if I'm 18% with the nightelf passiv ? (+1% haste during the night)
the nelf passive is irrelevant for the dance breakpoints
It does not affect deepening shadows
alright thx!
Only haste rating does
where can i check whats best to gear? guides ive been seeing say diff stuff
Huh why does this delve trinket sim so much higher (all at 6/6 champ)
18% haste is the goal right? Im at 15%, but sims keeps telling me to go crit on everything. Trusting sims, but I thought I wanted to get to 18% first.
What ever gets you like 670 haste
How do I treat trinkets that have haste proccs? Do I still want to get to 18% and overcap on procc or do I calculate the bonus?
you can't guarantee you'll have the proc up when you press dance
so best not to rely on it for breakpoint gearing
I wonder if even one person brought up how fucking dumb breakpoints are when this was pitched
you don’t have tier. You don’t have trinket. Your ilvl is low. Any combination of that will change the expected outcome. Welcome to the start of the season.
is it "bad" to be over the 18% haste or 670~ ? or is it just less desirable
u want more
Does the pvp 4pc work for the achievement?
mm idk
i just got 2 pieces from raid and i have 2 cata charges
cause i just hit 1600
did you get the feat of strength
yarr
Ah. Makes sense.
ah nvm
Which pvp did you do for 1600
solo shuffle
was pvp for the charge not a pvp piece
pvp is for the charge
gamerrrrr
it was like 6 shuffles
not bad
i didnt lose less than 3 and most my games were 4-5 one 6
I do not enjoy pvp even one iota so I'm just gonna get the ksm one
36 rounds not bad. You have full pvp gear. Or just climb off the back of 1 shotting kids because sub is sub in pvp? 😂
i have full pvp
its not one shotty tbh the last few solo shuffle were grinds
like just lots of healing
is the fight build recommendation out of date on wowhead?
Yeah that's what I was worried about - elo too compressed due to reset. Lots of actual good pvp players around.
Unlucky.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
with raid finder token + catalyst, is it worth sending now for 2pc even if lower ilvl?
it's never worth unless you can guarntee 4pc
I think depends on if you've got raid still this week. Otherwise hold.
still have raid
can't you get pvp catalyst somehow?
and if vault or raid drops what he cata's now it's a waste
^^
only send if u have 2 charges and 2 pieces tbh
That's true.
icic ty guys, not too too familiar with retail gearing strats lmao
Ok you changed my mind. Don't do it. 😂
i think i get extra cata drops now or no?
yep
we up
said it was character-bound but people reporting its warband-wide
is there a magic mastery breakpoint after 700 haste where you want crit instead lol
crit and mastery are both goodge
Crit is better ST. Mastery better AoE. They both good.
was in an internal debate between choosing my neck before i slam an 18k gem
if it's raid drops get crit/mastery
anyone know of a simple addon that can count how many mobs are within melee range? or does blizz not want that
I've been looking for one of these too.
there used to be a weakaura for it but that's gone, probably not a way to do it now
yea 🙁 i had a friend make me a really simple minimal one
I really miss that WA
Particularly with how visually cluttered this raid is. Blue on blue on blue.
well if anyone knows of something pls tag or dm 🙂
Lots of big AoE particle effects flying through the air.
Lots of stupid little blob adds.
that and the refund noise weak aura were great
when the RL tags something while explaining the fight lol
like what
i did not see that sir
can you use an alert pls
didn't lose awareness looking at combo point bar
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hi everyone I am currently 236 ilvl and I am doing very low dps - like according to sim I am supposed to do 50k dps but I do very much less than that
Any tips?
hard to give tips when we arent sure what ur doing wrong, whats the opener/rotation like
do you have shadow dance/blades and ST macroed
also haste is a big implier
whats the % increase for 2 set and 4 set?
I've got 17% haste atm
!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.
!breakpoint
that sounds pretty good
700 i think u want i aim for 700
looked at our lightblinded vanguard kill and ye if you're under haste cap by a lot you lose sec tec casts
make sure you're using the aoe rotation correctly
chum was haste cap and got 6 more sec tec casts than me 
raidbot sims me at 253ilvl at 58k dps, does that sound right.. seems low af
that sounds about right without weapon enchants etc
depends, details doesn't show overall for a dungeon anymore unless im doing it wrong
i've hit over 200k with puzzle box blades 18% haste on some big pulls today for sure
My main opener is stealth obvs - Shadowstrike, into Blades, dance to get charged cp and the ST - and keep spamming strike evis
it probably goes higher if other people in the party aren't also liquefying the pack in question etc
guys what do we do during downtime, do we save technique stacks
You can not finish a couple of seconds before you intend to dance
But mostly you just hit them with your wet noodles
should be more like shadowstrike to 6/7cp, pop macro for ST/dance/blades, go into strike evis
when the first dance wears off, go into another one and use the blades
is there a way to change flask/food buff on raidbot?

- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
yeah at the bottom
lil dropdown
Youre unlikely to want to change the food as 50 agi is the best, but yes at the bottom
Not really seeing it. Is it post sim or pre sim?
Got it, thank you!!!
is this why lust on pull makes shadow dance an Secret tech not sync right?
Secret tech ends up coming up before Shadown dance
hmm should I upgrade my crafted dagger from 259 to 272 already? does this make sense?
Not if you intend on ever recrafting it with mythic crests
Since then those heroic crests are just wasted
it could go in the offhand if you get a myth track main hand
i was gonna do that tbh
Only choice is really between mastery and crit flasks yeah?
can anyone please explain to me why we pick the first dance talent?
Longer dance good
Haste is fine too if you need it
but it says out of combat?
you did it already?
Yes and you are out of combat atleast after every boss, but most of the time you get it more than that
not yet
oh it works that way
Obviously for keys, not for raid
thanks guys
i mean i have enough crests
I'm at 690 haste
if i ever have sblades up with 1 charge of dance and sectec ready but my 2nd dance it like 15-18s out do i just sit until my 2nd dance is useable after first dance ends?
699 if I swap a gem lmao
Youre likely to just recraft it next week anyway with mythic crests right
And then youve just tossed 80 heroic crests into the void
yeah thats true
you probably make myth version if you dont get vorasius weapon
first week of mythic
so how come droptimizer is all weird with gear sometimes
like itll tell me an item in my bags that i have from that dungeon same ilevel is not an uppie and then if i top gear it its an uppie
bricks your haste threshold probably
Thanks blizzard for this great addition
so good on outlaw we just had to run it back
Sin can have a little crit cap, as a treat
are just outlaw rehashes
Guys how does sub perform in raid atm, are we breaking at least top third of the dps?
depends how many casters
are in your raid
we are very good || padders || on dragons
Trickster Sub: Do we ensure targets are Fazed before ripping cd's? Like do we hold a dance/ST until we can proc Fazed if it isn't already active?
fazed just triggers auto
The SecTecch apply counts before dam so we're not missing anything from sending on cd?
sectech applies it
43rd best dawnbreaker run in na and oce agrees 
leaderboard that raider io aggregates all dawnbreaker runs from listed it as 43rd 
didnt everyone run prism
im jus waving my salami yeah everyone did
but the point is the difference between goat trinkets and not goat trinkets
the very rare neck from cosmos, how good is it for us?
or enchants...or something
very strong!
thats some casual talk
Not gonna lie my low numbers are really making me depressed..
a well tuned damage proc
is it black powder that only deal shadow dmg?
No, but roughly half of our damage is shadow
BP is phys
because so many specs like haste
i imagine on st you want double nexus point rings too
for extra free damage
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
unless that set bonus is giga piss
study up more hit the dummies more
Does that crucible of erratic energies have anything special to it in sims?
Like say that, over vessel
Don't matter, give it to the fury warrior that doesn't deal shadow damage for the haste. 👀
WELL my second wep is still adventurer tier and I am doing HC raid
What ilvl are most of you clearing ?? boss with
hm?
Is it doable without 2pc
Hi chat, is the proper way to go into dance is with full combo so you can macro sectec together or can you go with no combo, ss then sectec manually? Thanks in advance
Better to start with ponts to sectec
Depends on DS or Trickster
Trickster
there are some settings for the trinket
if you did the zone buff stuff
to make it 20s
are we still doing BP on 2+ targets as per the wowhead guide? Idk if it was updated for the BP nerf
and I see on WCL that everyone is running trickster on every boss, is that just for HC or is DS dead?
Blackpowder or Eviscerate on 2 targets?
😂😂😂😂
timing XD

Can i start a log channel ?and if someone has time can help me
And people would still ignore it
Use !log
!log
is 2nd sectech always delayed 5 seconds for 3rd dance? It's always unaligned by 5 seconds on pull when using 2x dances in blades
If you are super down bad, you can always get a veteran dagger from bloody tokens
anyone know why haste is simming as my highest value stat when i'm at 701 haste rating?
dont sim weights
i'm night elf if that matters
in that case what's the sweet spot of haste rating? i saw 620-700 or so earlier
ask topgear
top gear puts me to 17%
the robot wont reccomend what we reccomend due to the robot being able to execute it at 0.01 everytime
so just adjust some pieces
more haste!
700 haste is a lot i think i'm under 650 for 18%
or u can use a haste flask i suppose
Haste weapon enchant and gamba
!macro

/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call

/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
im using a mastery proc trinket rn
i cant control when its up but it averages 25-30% uptime
Is nullaeus doable on ?? Difficulty with sub rogue rn?
and if i get 300 mastery during my cds its cool
Question for whoever wants to lend a hand: My sims are telling me to drop below the 18% haste break. Trap or follow the robot? Thoughts?
It's doable.
I'd argue not worth it. Grab a group. 😂
you have to rez valeera instantly or
she claps your cheeks
Gotcha thanks
hof closed so theres not even epeen flex anymore
I'd say give it a bunch of pulls if hof was open still.
4 set acquired if i do pvp this week
ye it's fun to solo but not something worth farming
Doing my m0 worldtour with 4p and at 255 ilvl today was very cool also 🙂
what the helly
min max it for the one time
I did 9 hours of solo shuffle to get 1600 today, highly recommend doing it!
how long of that was in q
Probably 4 hours

But it was also during my workday so
i cant believe i got 1600 in 6 shuffles
ye saturday not looking forward to giving gold to the crafting wizoob for pvps
bg blitz should be faster
must be nice mr remote "worker"
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, thats why I shuffle on company time 
i woke up so early i was like dude im gonna lose every game gonna take me 8hrs
not if you are washed up like me
im like 2500 mmr
I kinda wanna get into pvp also so had a blast to be fair
juiced but u have that rp trinket
guidon is worth two rp trinkets
thats true
now play a better race /s
they were not super bad
don tlook at my ring enchants bro i need haste
2 set from rings is solid for ST
adventurer ring with the 120 haste 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Feeling kinda juiced
Is the vessel annoying, got it just before I logged out so havent played with it yet
Ah hell nah
this one's worse
wait i found haste on my wrists i can do some eagle enchants now
this is what raidbots took from us bro
#feelcraft
I have them, Im just unsure if the trinket + 4 nodes is better than the vessel
the vessel assumes i thin having 4 stacks the whole time in the sim
idk if you need to ask this
wouldnt trust you pick up the orbs
but thats just me
its way hard to see those orbs compared to previous type of trinkets like that
How does that even correlate lol
use it and log a fight and u will see u barely maintain stacks
Not necessarily 4 all the time, but on average the stack count it has is 4
I already know I am getting a myth puzzlebox from first m+ vault and going back to assa 
i just want guidon
In the raid environment - should I be sticking to trickter or deathstalker?
wait so with a haste trinket do u even need to hit 18-20% if in ur cds u will be forsure over that
with a haste on use
looked at the stock market today.
Made a mistake and it was psychic link tuning graph.
yea don't do that
The on-use gives you one additional gcd
what is our set slots?
It doesnt really matter, just getting tier asap is the most important
But the bis profile does not have legs
thx
is there any way to de-clutter all the visuals in the raid? so hard to see anything
!aa

anyone bash the ?? nemesis as sub?
What’s the title for the ?? Nemesis?
the Ominous
fabled vanquisher
fabled vanquisher is only for the 4000 feat
That's a lot of feet
if they've all got Xalatoes I won't complain
loot looking so far so good - 3 bosses hc down and full normal (2set + 1 catalyst charge free)
fabled unemployment
i feel like sims are off cause its telling me my 250 kroluk's warbanner is better than 263 heart of wind?
Hey everyone! I’ve just come back to the game after a few years away, and I’m looking to get into PvP again.
I’m especially interested in playing RBGs and Solo Shuffle as a Subtlety Rogue. I was wondering if there are any up-to-date resources, guides, or tips on how to approach each battleground/map as a Sub Rogue.
Any advice or direction would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
got mine after work 
me too
its more talking about the people who got it when valeera was op
had to stay up late though
Dh tank ahead of us on council HM
i.e during work hours
not good for the sleep schedule
like bruh
Heart of wind is not particularly good, while the banner benefits from find weakness so it does 17% more damage for sub than other specs
im bringin the mage
dont worry i did like almost 80k but no 4 set yet
y i figured that myself i didnnt black powder xd
I did :<
thats my dmg pure st xd
we do black powder on pala boss tho
Sub 4 times the log count that assa has. Gotta swap to assa to keep playing the low pop spec now ig
gonna try that next week i was st spec xd
it got nerfed in cleave damage, and the raid has a lot of cleave
Give back tww trickster!
I cant imagine the dumb questions
So is outlaw the way to go now? Or is sub still superior
people still ask bp or evis with midnight sub
does the 2p apply to supercharged/coup de grace ?
outlaw also does not cleave well
1 target evic - 2 or more bp
i don't think there is that much diffrence between the 3
how is it looking pure m+ wise?
if you play m+ to pug expect to reroll every tier
Gotchu so basically preference then I already crafted my dagger so i might as well stick it out to sub and hope and pray we get some kinda changes in class tuning
we wait to see changes for next week
because you hate yourself enough to pug
thats fine, im not a rogue player, i just recently started playing sub cus its the only rogue spec i like
so next tiers i just go other class
but dmg so far looking very very good
yo how are you guys playing vanguard? I just played that boss so bad... Are we powdering or basically just ST ?
^
kekw
if you don't see your damage, then you're not the last on details
I beat some people and the tank || the dps were dead ||
damn im gapping people
Only reason to bring sub on paladins is if half the DPS in your raid to dumb to hit shields. 😂
is that the dragon duo
y
Kill the boss ? Nope
Delay CDs to burst 30k hp adds ? f yeah
Soo - I just did quick sim and it says I am supposed to do roughly 47k dps - should that be considered my margin ?
Heyoo I've been out of the loop for crafting. Are we crafting the dagger with hero crest? or just normal craft?
You get mythic crests next week from M+ plus a handful from quests. So we wait.
gotcha guys
so im using shuriken storm with SD if im deathstalker everytime correct?
Can I get some macro assist?
My macro will not use my pot
#showtooltip
/Cast Shadow Blades
/Cast Light's Potential
/use 13
new to sub
for pots it is use
use for items
not cast
/use lights
Use for item
ope
first raid night bois
holy fuck we are really incredibly mid 😂
didnt want to believe it 😭
Is there even any boss where DS is better atm?
Thank yall
is it confirmed that there will be any changes?
no
do i send my 2nd sectech in lust ? as 3rd finisher?
so we cope? 😄
guys if we have cd dance like 5 sec do we hold Secret Technique?
adapt improvise overcome. the sub rog way of life 👍 everything will be fine 😮
kinda
very anoyed at blizz on the first dance not beeing able to track
think we get 4 weeks of tuning changes in a row
spec itself is kinda dumb but the apex stuff can feel weird
so its expected, i don't know if anything was announced so far
didnt shut down the discord so no nerf revert
hell yea lets shut it down!
I mean....
Is having Algeth'ar Puzzle Box and Emberwing Feather bad for a double on use trink? Sims seem to not always be accurate with this question
99% is quite sub favored though
Not enough that it's worth switching specs, lol.
All 3 are kinda doodoo together.
sub sucks we need emergency buffs NOW
should be favored for all specs
I meannnnn they all look very close to each other unless your a pro performing at the top .1% I think if you know what your doing you can be good with any class/spec
would yall recommend sub as the best spec overall for Raiding, Delves, Mythic+ or are yall switching between specs depending on the content?
Sub bad
delves are whatever. Raid we all suck. M+ we dont know yet
if i have 1 dance charge and am like 15s from a second dance going into sblades do i hold till i can b2b dance in blades?
On palas boss, I did more or less dmg compared to dh tank. Does that answer ur question ?
To much work doing all that pick one you like and stick with it I say
I think part of it is the raid is really bad for sub, TBH.
Lots of small target cleave. Awful timers for sub.
only bosses that matter are the last ones
@vale pine sorry for the ping king, subtlety rogue rotation pre combat check still recommends ironclaw whetstone
Do we have sims of T4 compared to the other specs? Or will we see in logs next week?
sub looks aite on alleria and chimeraus timer wise atleast
