and some of the like iced tea peach/mango flavours
rest i dont really care about
mango loco
best monster is the mocha coffee with 300mg of heart attack in it
and its not close
as i sit here in existential dread waiting for this solo shuffle que to pop
best monster is a bang that always has 300 mg of caffiene in it
yes
They had the best protein ever until they discontinued it
Gorilla mind strawberry banana
AoE finisher prio is Sectech-Coup-BP
Made THe best protein pancakes/waffles
you know i was surprised to see sobi still around and kicking
Alright, everything without HC Crown done. 0 tier, 0 trinkets. I think I'm cooked guys as a solo player
yes fucking rip
how important is sending vanish on CD vs using it as a oh shit button when i won t be able to send sec tech on CD?
yea you're fucking cooked better hope for a tier piece in vault on tuesday
Idfk why they reduced their entire line to just three or four flavors and they picked the shit ones
im simming 77.5k as trickster and 79k as DS, but dont have much froim raid
its more than 3-4
trickster is more for AOE raid fights, and DS is for strict single target fights
Really? Last I tried ordering they only had chocolate, vanilla, blueberry muffin and one other one and they were out of two of them lol
you guys remember season 2 of TWW when BGs were just bot games
Oh ye they have a bunch of the energy ones but I meant their whey
that would imply playing bgs
bots would play better than half the random bg teams
anyway
oh those
The only pvp I did was comp stomp for marks to buy transmog sets lol
not when you were on the only human team in the game
Is strawberry the pink one?
Ye
Yeah that's pretty good
Had my first one just three days ago
Never seen it before here
There’s a CVS a stone’s throw from the restaurant I used to work and they had buy one get one 50% off so I’d get a SF peach and strawberry or 2x of the Java lava coffee monster
Their mocha one is good too
so i was missing critical info
me, a fellow french, reading "coup de gra"
i know, i just shortened it
Am i the only one switching from cold blooded killer over to Thistle Tea? It just feels so much smoother in Dungeons. DPS loss is about 1.5k but i think thats a fair tradeoff for cleaner gameplay
also french are silly <3
Thistle tea is arse
you only do dmg in SD so you don't need tea
Thistle on Sub feels redundant
Not the biggest fan of coffee taste drinks
you can just afk when SD is on cd
anyone know a good sub rogue guide/video to help me leanr the class/spec better?
U know what. Thats a fair point
That’s fair, a lot of them are quite bad. The monster ones are closer to a mocha or latte bc of all the sweetener which hides some of that lol
i like running vigor while questing
pve?
Shindigg on YouTube has pretty good breakdowns for all 3 specs
then this #subtlety-faq message is really good (and way enough this season) my lad
There's another Sub Rogue pulling ~62k at i251 on Saldahar by spamming Eviscerate, is this some new tech?
I wasn't logging but it's like 48% of his damage vs. 7% SecTec
energy is a non issue during dance which is the only time you do damage
so tea is kind of useless
SecTec should still be a lot higher I think
The extra energy from vigor is what ‘smooths’ out the rotation that people falsely attribute to tea

all that energy to spam backstab

It’s what the people crave
the people want to press buttons
the people can go play outlaw then
sub actually has to pool now 
The people can press buttons in dance which has high uptime
wdym i love spamming backstab
person that only plays OBA
its why i only go down the left side of the tree and nothing else
!upgrade
when was the last tier we used gloomblade
aberrus
What are we crafting with sparks. I made Farstrider's Mercy with embellishment but spark crafts seem kinda shit? Should I just send second craft on ring or what
Do we ancient art Sectech?

Are you guys delaying CDs to align with adds spawning, Chimaerus, Averzian? I feel like sometimes I tried the CDs and hold for 15sec to wait for adds. Are you guys sending as soon as they come up
Thank you !
i send on chimaerus if im going down first
no point holding for an extra 30 seconds
tbh
im actually just sending on cd
my guild is full of actual pad-hungry animals so I don't bother
I did that buy the first set of adds on Chimaerus is so weak I can like two good bp that's it
is there a list of known bugs?
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
thx
same, had a dk in my guild in a fucking alt normal chimaerus ask to go down second because of cds not aligning
🤢
I will try sending CDs sooner
gigachad
same guy who's going to have trouble in mythic because he treats every boss as a patchwerk
trust me I know because he's in my guild too
yuh, and then had an officer ask why i didnt ask for the second down phase because i was playing my alt dk too, and said in disc that i dont care about my damage i care about killing bosses
because who tf is trying to parse week 1
rank 125 lfr bro
ill go parse when its on farm
so, which one do I follow? One says Darkest night OR supercharged, the other just say supercharged, i'm lost
you follow both
darkest night is for ds only but idk
because darkest night is for when playing deathstalker
i havent played ds this season yet
so, no matter if I have a superchaged, as long as I have the talent the condition validates?
for ds
yeah you gotta meet all the conditions for it, which is also only during lust, unless thats been changed
with this 3% buff coming
basicaly for the ds spec I can ignore that condition
I ignore ds spec 
id get someone smarter than me to properly answer the question
Not to do with lust anymore
but yeah i tend to just ignore DS as Sub
Just when you have supercharged combo points finish with apex
no lust anymore

9 days ago
wdym you ignore ds as sub? in pure st it's better no?
i said what i said
how important is the supercharge combo point part? like if i don't do that part, how much dps will i lose?
seems like its not worth it to do it without the supercharged cp
(unless you play ds 🤣 )
In pure ST, but there is very few occasions of that.
indeed
whats the % diff on swapping from trickster to ds on those 2 fights that its recommended
is ds that much better to play on st
In theory before you get parried on your DN?
and lose your hero tree the rest of the fight?
like 3% maybe
you can get parried as ds?
kek
and s4 right
idk s4 wasnt a real season
yea
i swear i have a memory of my kingsbane getting parried on a mythic rashok kill lol
so must have been s4

probably was possible
i just played outlaw that season
to meme with torch more
how we change marks with sub in DS?
thats insane that dn can get parried tho
So how the hell do you actually play with Puzzle Box? Use it before pulls and if the pull/boss is longer than 2 minutes cry and use it during the fight to line up with CDs?
gotta keep that in mind if i play that
I mean its just evisc
and blizzard thinks parry is charming or some shit
even though they're blacklisting abilities from getting parried
its dumb
antiquated and dumb
why dont they make it the same as unseen blade but with deathstalk mark
make it a pvp-only thing
KB not being parryable was fixed mid/late tww s1
Hi i have a question about dragon boss in voidspire is BP hitting both dragons when one i still flying?
was attacking a boss from behind making it to where u cant be parried always a thing
yeah
which is annoying as fuck when its a boss that you're required to attack from the front
meanwhile ranged does not have anything like that
you can attack from fuckall direction as long as you're within minimum range
spell hit and spell resist are gone, melee hit is gone but parryable attacks exist
idk I'm salty about the whole thing lol
wdym devourer is complex
setting up devourer aoe burst is lowkey fun
smuggling an eradicate in so you can eradicate-beam-cs-eradicate
tbf that's only the first 20 seconds of a fight
maybe 30 if you lowroll

I hate the opener but once you get momentum going its fun
the talent that gives haste per soul consumed makes it so fun though
They basically lean harder into the consume souls minigame
even harder than og veng
I wouldn't main it but I have fun playing it in dungeons for sure
getting cucked on a beam cast and not getting eradicate feels bad tho, skill diffy ig
but fighting the fury bar trying and getting a 5th star off is dopamine af
Quick question, in Mythic's, after opener am I re casting SD while doing the SS>BP rotation?
from a aesthetic pov idk what they’re gonna do
make void themed sets?
or keep them fel/demonic
the s1 set looks kinda silly
never thought about it that way yeah you right
like im doin nothing in raid
pooling on ds feels weird
not a fan
wanting to start dance on low cp so not building or finishing
Should you always have coup the grace for shadow dance when going ST on bosses like Vorasius?
When i realize i can combine 3-4 sets together
and it looks like the same set
might mean they reuse the same concepts alot
yeah I noticed that too when I was doing dh transmog sets lmao
I got lost on which pieces belonged to which sets haha
so how can you track supercharged now? for the apex minmax?
my dh sets are so basic
I hate collecting souls from the vessel trinket, is there a good alternative to pair it with puzzle box that's farmable?
I usually just default to nathria mythic set with red lightsabers
match every skin of them
hardest part about devourer is positioning so eradicate pads as much as possible ong
Though 90% of mfs
the ahune one is cool
would use the argus ones
black ice is my fav tho

non-scythe but purple as fuck
Assuming shadow blades is on cooldown now.
At what time should i stop using shadow dance to ensure that i have 2 charges for shadow dance when shadow blades is back up?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Feels like it lines up where you sit on shadowdance for 10-15 seconds to make sure you have two shadowdances for your SB.
Question: Does the 18% here insicate the soft cap?
Thanks. Sure is annoying to line them up to send shadowblade 🙁
double ring good?
How do you guys do the 650 to 700 haste when the robot just goes lower with the items you have?
not horrible but the set is whatever
You should get 19 or 20% even
coup is 1.2 sec
is the robot trying to lower haste to the next-highest gcd granting haste rating when your gear can't reach 650-700
?
since haste rating between 6.2 and 7.2 is kind of a deadzone
do we still need to cast lights guidance trinket like half a second before cds?
Nullaeus tier ?? is making me rage. Got him down to 60% due to pure luck once but most times he just owns Valeera after a while and I'm done
how are we usingg puzzle box considering the 1,5 min cd on shadowblades
every other blades
it's a terrible solo fight
I was able to kill it post valeera nerf by perma tricksing her and using an interact keybind to rez her as soon as she dies
If she gets like ~20% just get ready for her to die and spam the interact key
Others have said you don't tricks her and instead juggle threat with dance because it drops threat - I guess I did it the hardmode way. It was miserable but possible
Nice, what was your ilvl?
I think I was 250 -252, i don't remember, level 18 valeera
Do you just pray he doesn't 1-2 shot you when she's down and you're ressing?
yes. I usually crimson vial/evasion/cloak, etc. before rezing
get ready to vanish when she comes up because she has very very weird threat and might not get aggro instantly
attack out of vanish asap though because you can accidentally reset the fight
remember dance also drops threat though so you can rez --> dance
Ah yeah
boh, vanguard is so so bad for sub...
I just hate how this fight works because it doesn't feel fun at all
demon and frost and mm are mega op beasts in that encounter
unbeatable
well derp in most of encounters of the raid :D
Lol yeah. I wish there was some intended way of getting around his stuff and do some actual mechanics
The tl;dr for the whole thing is
valeera healer with cheat death curios
silvermoon health pots for lay on hands level healing
perma tricks her
When he's getting to a 75%/50%/25% health mark, if valeera is low, let her die and rez before pushing
you really want to go into the intermissions with shadowblades
use interact keybind to rez her for 100 reasons including the moron boss obstructing your ability to right click
use drums after he becomes attackable at 25% if you want
remember defensives/valeera healing orbs
do we think theyl fix gcd bug with coup/shadowstrike
nope
over 2 years so no never
has to do that the spell is frankensteins monster of death from above spell
realz hit me with a 🙃 when I asked about coup gcd fix

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
are there any bosses in voidspire that are 100% ST where we run deathstalker?
Hey there is no way to fit 2 secret tech inside shadow blades
I have 18% haste
Trying on dummies it seems that I am off 4 seconds
Am i doing something wrong?
you would need bl and or guidon and tier set
check pins
guidon?
lit in the pins
I will try to use haste pot
no dont use haste pot
Managed to get him down to 25% or so. Shit is cursed when she's dead and those orbs are up that drags you into them
And the shadow damage lanes are right where she is
save cloak for it
unless you mean you're getting dragged away
then its evasion tank until the orb is far enough away, tank one last auto with evasion and insta start the rez on swing timer
4 tier token dropped in 4 bosses and i got none 

So we only get second secret tech inside BL?
When we are using shadow blades outside of a BL, should I still hit the second dance just to throw extra evis/blackp?
theres one addon im using i cannot find how to move
it doesnt move on edit mode and i cannot find it under addons
big debuff in the middle screen
That's DBM.. disable private aura debuffs
i havent played wow for like a year, is sub rogue fun currently?
same thing happaned to me
i fukin love u
he uses the same thing
they told me its bigwigs but i use dbm
i ve been tring to find it for hours
I was curious too, so I tested it, and it seems possible with 18% haste, 4p tier, and the Guidon trinket. Sorry For My Bad English , english isn't my first language
hahaha, I went through exactly the same thing
and yeah, incredibly annoying/frustrating.
ty again dude ure a legend
do you lose sec tech damage if you use it while mobs are running around? do the clones only hit where you casted it?
only if they displace or move very fast out of it
so like tank just gathering and kiting isn't fast enough to worry about?
or should I always save until tank stops running around
pretty mandertory to see private auras
if not your cooked. it lit tells you what to do the icon
☝️
Does anyone knows that?
For raid talents, when do you prioritize using black power over evis? For instance voracious when he spawns the bugs.
Is voidsong change simming correctly in Raidbots? im gonna assume no because of this
Without tier u just dance once per blades and play off sec tec cd, u get a "free" cast of dance every so often if youre at 19 sec sectec cd.
With tier and Guidon trinket your sec tec becomes around 15 second cd, so you can dance a second time and supercharge sec late with it
And it all kindof aligns
That depends on your perception of fun. I find it a ton of fun, but if your idea of fun is tied to complexity, that is long gone I'm afraid.
yes, literally the difference between the kill and wipes was orbs keeping me from rezing her, it's maddening
Is there any addon or way to get cdm to play a sound when my SD ends?
is it not better to hold for a second shadowdance or delay a sectec to have 2 SD up for blades?
You never delay sec tec unless sblades is in 8ish seconds
you’re basically dance dead space dance in blades and don’t fuck up the trinket
maybe we get Sectech charges when sblades tier goes away
or give it a higher haste multiplier
so i have a question but looking for wisdom on this rotation and what im doing wrong. im slowly piecing it bit by bit from watching other rogue passing me up by 20k in dps. I just finished H-Dream and the rogue was at 65k overall and I was 48k. my buddy sim'd us and he said i should've been higher than him. help!
i believe theres a command to post logs in but i cant remember it if thatll hep relgore
oh i meant in the disc
its just !log
what stats should i put on my Crafted Dagger?
that i would be able to swap in between sub and Sin?
and rogues need buffs badly
prob haste mast
would greatly appreciate if any would could give me some advice on why my damage is so low
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
that fight sucks mega balls in general regardless how good sub is at it
yeah it sucks but seeing myself sandwiched between people gray parsing
with a 92
is nuts
is there anyway to make the vessel trinket more visible when orbs drop, i legit can not see the orbs
not sure what that means
I just looted puzzle box
WOwhead says to treat it like 3 minute trinket
oh use it like a 3 min trinket, so use it every other cd set
means you'll always have 1 cd set with no trinket
Thank you
Bro same it’s insane
don't wanna play outlaw so might just play sin on it on mythic when they inevitably buff the shit outta it
sub is so far behind on that there's no way to make it up
I think I’m like purple in between blues on that fight
Is there anything worse?
Yeah a lot
so if black bars don't pop I should Bs/Ss to pop the bars to buff the finisher then spend the buffed finisher or spend all points?

It’s only during dance
how come vorasius uses deathstalker? it has periodic add spawns
game knows one of the classes on the token is dead weight
The fight is 99% single target, you don’t hold either sectech or coup de grace for the adds, they die to passive cleave from all the other people in the raid so pressing black powder isnt great anyways
Bro we got one heroic piece from the terrible trio and I slurped it up
W
Im still half veteran track gear W
is this a ui bug or does it actually not scale the amount of haste from the use?
Just UI bug
kk
we just did it today, i got 1 piece from it 😉
and 2 cata charges
BUT no more tier bosses to kill this week
wait what did u get 2 cata charges from?
pvp probably
i got 1600 in solo shuffle
ah
guild did lfr splits with 24 people and 1 random and the random stole the leather tier
what a gamer
was my alt rogue so wasnt gonna get the tier anyways but funny af
they're all shit on that boss
its best to just be benched
rogue just does not have cleave
yea we are cheerleaders
even if sub went back to what it was we would get omegarolled
locks and mages being above me on crown with 20% lower parse is a great sign
We just need to Accept if we want to be competitve and do dmg reroll
catalyst unbound is per-char right?
i don't think i get benched 😉
at least hopefully
If there will be no buff our guild Will play without a rogue 🙁
the damage diference is too high sadly
it really is something to look at paladin stats. rogues used to have respectable cleave
No thankfully
it's so over (on that boss)
ye pals felt giga shit
idek if its better to backstab or shuri storm when theres 2/3
storm outside of dance pretty much always at 2+
on nullaeus is it still worth to stand in the healing pools when theres purple shit on it?
so reading the guide, i see that they say to try get 2 charges for each blades but when i look at the iterations on raidbots, all of them only use 2 dances on the first SB, then just 1 dance on all subsequent SBs
are you simming with 4-set
no. so if i dont have 4 set, i just send based on Sectech availability?
if i get 4p on my rogue i can farm catalyst on alts? lol
That is my understanding yes
Kind of a rare w for blizzard unless it's super shit drop rate
That fight will absolutely blast healthbars, 1 rogue is mandatory
Balance team made everything they can we should not complain 🙂
having the feint button to get less fucked by interrupting scream or w/e from the second void add is pretty cool
Rogue has never been benched from bad damage it’s been benched from Atrophic not working
Afaik
bad damage is just a bonus
This might be a really dumb question, but is there a reason why Sub can't use a one-hander in the off-hand?
Atrophic seems to work on almost everything in voidspire so big W
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
Has rogue been sat anywhere except stix since df
Besides like the shitty 1st boss manaforge or whatever where it didn’t matter
I think it should just last 1 minute like the other raid debuffs but w/e
Yeah
No such thing as a dumb question ❤️
correct
dmg going out on paladins seems hectic
i imagine mythic even crazier
so it'll be worth having 1 rogue in for that boss i think
Hi dekai 🤠 u back to rogue this szn i see welcome back
oh man that feels good
A good corewright always has his tools
it feels 10x better because someone fucking tied me for it
and i almost had a heart attack
We will see
Hey friends, I'm brand new to sub and Rogue in general, apologies if these questions are misplaced. My dungeon damage is very comparable to those around me, but I can't seem to even get close to my ST sims when sitting on a dummy. Is there risk that these WoWhead macros are negatively impacting performance? My damage is so far off I feel like I'm missing something fundamental. Thanks in advance 🙂
Referenced macros attached in image.
Logs from last night: Averzian; Vorasius
Quick sim from now (about 6k higher than last night):https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/g1GGWqaE72CTkV95gBB6d2
for starters you need to separate your trinket in a dif macro than your dance and sec tech
also sec tech should be your first finisher when entering dance every time
except during blades I believe
As Sub near the end of your opener is it worth holding off one gcd if it meant fitting in a second Sec tech in your Shadow blades window?
that stops being a concern when you get 4-set
it's worth holding to get sec tech as second finisher
Me?
or atleast sim does
yea, 4 set gives 4 more seconds of blades
so you'll always be able to get it in during opener
ahhh I see
can you squeeze in a secret tech last second in shadow dance ?
So i crafted dagger and the guides tell u to craft belt, but i got hero track belt is it the same/okay to just craft wrist ? 
Depends on haste and if bloodlust is going on
I'm 1 gcd off
so give it a little breathing space
you can also delay second shadow dance
to fit sec tech in
for me with ~700 haste and hero guidon trinket if i use second dance about when trinket will run out i can get sec tech off the second finisher of second dance
ye exactly
sim might just be doing it because it is definitely good with 4 set
but my sim does the same
So delaying 2nd dance is not a bad idea also?
It does feel better for fitting in a 2nd sec tech
also lets you apex your second sec tech
apexing sectec isn't that great
it's like apexing an evis
ye but it feels cool
lol it does for sure
if they ever fix the interaction it'll become really good to do
ive found a nice group for a crown log xd
At how much targets we start to use BP?
dos
2 with potent powder
Thanks
THIS GUY'S PADDING GET HIM
do you box on 3 or after pull?
as DS on crown you get prio by using bp!
Its not padding if it needs to die
tell them
guys i need this pad
trust
actually big strat to let you go into the other add at the beginning with the tank
so you get to pad on 5-6 adds
Not sandbagging smdh my head
yall think it matters which enchant goes on main vs offhand
lol true
i will 100% be BPing as much as possible tomorrow on crown prog
until it actually becomes a problem
btw i wonder what new way blizz will cook up to fix sub's cleave problem we're back to again
because this is very familiar territory
i meant more so like on paladins
oh paladins is literal hide details
and just vibe
nothing you do changes anything
oh actually dont die
i wonder what crazy number they would need to buff nimble by to fix it lol
they might notice
I’d prob do it after Shadowstrike
!wa
- Can be pickpocketed from kobolds in e.g. The Ringing Deeps. (needs The Final Candle questline completed.)
- Only use it on one weapon. (does not stack)
Just so you have 100% uptime on it in blades
whats the command for addons
dont think there is one
swear there was one bc it had a venom addon or smth
same xd
spec feel more punishing than in tww, u miss one thing in ur rotation and gg
yea funnily enough i get lots of people dming me but it almost always is the same mistakes of being impatient or just not knowing some things
!wa
- Can be pickpocketed from kobolds in e.g. The Ringing Deeps. (needs The Final Candle questline completed.)
- Only use it on one weapon. (does not stack)
what are the most common mistakes ?
don't spread this, but the secret for doing damage on crown is waiting for the 300% damage amp
and not the adds
alternatively adds into amp
interesting
MMMM i see
Are you a mechanic
mechanicmarc because i surely dont just ignore most mechanics with cloak
oh shit lucky
is that why it looks like people are sending blades on pull then first dance like ~10 secs in
but why would you blades on pull then
i'm mainly looking at the number 1 guy
oh wait i'm dumb nvm
blades was covering the first dance icon
is it also not worth on dreadstalker to apex buff the darkest night eviscerate on second and third boss? just play dumb as if the apex doesnt exist?
!aa

although he did send 3 dances before 2nd blades and only used 1 dance for 2nd blades
maybe theyre running TFD
i dunno
i havent killed yet
nah i messed up looking at lorrgs
is this outdated now?
no shouldn't be
the dances are a lot less static than other fights though
#1 guy has 4set and giga gear
true
this is what i told someone so he focuses first on the most important things
you still apex some things
u gotta remember giga optimizations r only like 2-3% realstically
4set is legit 15%
yeah 4 set for sub is massive
I was supposed to be funnel for our raid, we did full normal/heroic clear and 1 leather tier piece dropped XD
Should I send hero crests if I have a hero weapon? Worth or should I just hold?
On this note what is the optimal myth crest spend
i meant 4 set in terms of both of them
I wish I had any tier. 😠
Only one more boss left that even drops it lol
i'm now at 1pc with 2 cata
i mean thats enough
just cata 2 and gg
using cata now can grief you very hard next week if youre unlucky
I got hero legs from delve too, so the curse is real.
yeah sending cata when you can't guarantee 4 set is dangerous
if using cata gets you 4 set you will get more charges doing m+ for hero gear
You could just wait for reset though, it's not like you need it right now and waiting isn't losing anything
definitely troll if you don't already have 2 pieces of tier
waiting is losing your parses in raid if you still raid this week!
we gotta be rank 1 !
Haha
is simming at 67k patchwerk decent for 252 ilv...?
I'm gonna be rank 0 and happy
cause im seeing dks sim for like 78k lol
is warbound tier a thing tf
well we aren't DK's, we are rogues.
should be yeah
hows that work
happened to me last tier
Any tips for naellus?
is it just random looted tier?
if it's working the same way any boss can drop any piece as warbound
I know but unsure if that's just the current tuning or im doing something wrong
or is sub just especially weak in that area
When you kill a boss it has a chance to roll a bonus loot drop that is Warbound one tier below your current difficulty and it can be a tier token
But it can be anything on their loot table. ANYTHING
normal 
i got my rank 1 heroic parse out of the way day 1
I'm happy with just killing stuff haha
i didnt log my paladins kill though
i had like 85k dps on that fight
Nice
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
Lightblinded is so funny to me. 24 and 50 are like, 3k DPS difference.
er so is my sim decent? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/19TduKbg3nsEFCbJ2Xpia7
What consubaples to raid rogue?
Yes, but it's just a sim.
So my stats/etc are looking alright?
save cds for add phases, use shadowdance to transfer aggro to valeera if running out of her heals, can kite boss with sprint to let valeera revive if pools are under her or evasion revive if not or just to give her time to heal you.
also if you don't care about the achievement you can always do it in a group and still get the crests
Do you have the right amount of haste? If yes, probably.
can use haste flask and be fine
!log
big question that bothers me. Do we still play around the apex proc and dont double dump eviscerate while lusted?
!aa
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).
How strong is 2p and 4p in terms of % dps increase?
It's fine but you're using simbait trinket
Oh wow 11% dps increase
morining kings
We're huge on tier yeah
You can get it by hitting 1600 in pvp, but that's the only way to get the KSM catalyst charge this week
Its only 1600, not too difficult. You might even have fun XD
Yeah bgs or arena
it may take a few hours
Probably a dumb question but; do you aim for ~700 haste rating without flask/buff or with? I have slightly above 700 now but sim worse than when I had less
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
if you're not a pvper it won't be easy
that renown 7 voidstorm trinket and its upgrades, is it 1 per week?
i think so yeah
thank you
2 per week
or i lied
1 from the weekly event, second from the 3 world quest quests that you can pick up from him
sims for sub are kinda weird atm, the sim will sometimes want people to go down lower in haste
it's a situation where in a perfect world if you do everything pixel perfect the simmed amount will be better
but real world is not perfect
having more cushion for dance can be better
The sim should aim for 650-700 like old reforge shit did. Man, reforging would be godlike now
Like an overwrite
Sim perfect scenario than add human error
I'll probably go with mastery flask and gemming haste/x with mastery/crit gems when i go too high in haste but for simming gear that will be a nightmare
yeah i'm trying to think how to do sims where i can figure out what i need keeping my haste at roughly 700
The upgrades are only relevant for questing in voidstorm, don’t they?
Expect for ilvl upgrades
Or take sim gear, then add a haste ring 
Makes no difference if you gain the stats through your gear or flask
those upgrades affect the trinket in all content
lol yeah i was thinking about doing something cheesy like that
or change all your gems and enchants to non haste
anything over 700 haste is totally wasted right?\
and then use the gear it suggests and add on haste gem+enchants to get back up or something
not totally wasted, but less efficient
ok thnx
can you get 2 Sectec in SB without lust?
and more apex
if you dont have set
yeah with lust its like
50/50
and you have to watch you dont GCD yourself
annoying
i have zero loot from nm, lfr, the 4 bosses I did on HC so far, and delve map was heroic weapon
!aa

as in no tier or heroic pieces to tierify
everyone on logs is using trickster veiltouched
that the one on the sub faq?
The good thing is, the higher we go in itemlvl the easier it will be to get to 700 haste
no idea i didnt copy the faq build
i was looking at logs atm since i think all faq builds / sim builds assume 4pc and good gear
In 12.3 we go a few haste items + flask and rest full mast/crit maybe even vers
Yo! so how are the specs looking in the raid compared to eachother?
Thanks for the answers! 🙂
this is the most popular build for heroic
Potentially, but we might also naturally get enough haste to reach another GCD breakpoint
looks legit
not this tier no
oh right
feel kinda dumb rn, for some reason i thought SD lasted for 10 secs... explains my dmg
it does if you have the first dance talented
good morning lovely people
maybe thats where i got it from then, we're not supposed to have it talented in raid tho right?
you can if the fight will be very short
right now no fight is short
herro UwU
gotya, thanks!
👉🏼 👈🏼 😳
The more I play this new iteration, the less I like the hasted sectec
If you have guidon the lust bonus isn’t that big since you 2x sectec cds already
If you’re talking about alleria, think it is worth since you only get 2 blades in p3 anyway
i am talking about alleria
can u not double stec with just tier anyway ? do u need the haste on use
I think I cast essentially on cd and lust was around 6mins no
!up
What's the sectec cooldown with 650-700 haste and guidon?
oh good to know thx
as usual
Sectec cooldown should be lower, but it seems to delay it until blades is basically over and clones are outside of its duration
it does some weird things but it is mostly fine
8% dragons wipe, woe is the world, woe is me.
Hi there, since vessel is a good trinket, i made an addon for the orb proc. It play a murloc sound in the dialog sound channel. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/vessel-of-tortured-souls-tracker
Can you change the sound in its UI?
Its not customable yet, i dont have much knowledge in addon dev
But u Can change the sound id easily in the code
Vessel tracer.lua
Change the id in the play sound function
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("SPELL_UPDATE_COOLDOWN")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, spellID, baseSpellID, category, startRecoveryCategory)
if spellID == 1265513 or baseSpellID == 1265513
then
PlaySound(416, "Dialog")
end
end)
what is the next gcd breakpoint after 700
Great addon, thanks 🙂 Might be an idea to throw some sound codes in the description until you have a functioning dropdown menu in-game (if that's your goal)
Id Can ne found online or in wowhead/wow api
Tbf i will need to ask some addons dev how can i make it customizable
1150-1200
any changes for m+ talent or raid ?
Throw it in Claude and ask it to include LibSharedMedia and an in-game menu for sound selection, don't be afraid to vibe code it
Will take 5 mins and it'll work
Is claude free ?
Tbh you can do it if you want, its opensource
If I finally decide which spec I'm playing I may do 🙂
Currently bouncing between Assa and Sub for progging
Claude its an addon for visual studio ?
It's an AI focused on code
Will check it later when im on the computer
Good luck 🙂 Just tell it what you want and be ready to do a few back and forths with it
And be sure to specify Midnight game version etc as I found sometimes it defaulted to TWW
The hardest job was to find the event in game lmao
Yeah I made a couple of addons myself and when I got stuck I just threw it in Claude and asked for help 😂
This work on dummies and open World. Will need to test in m+/raid
It's a decent way to learn code, obviously it'll throw in redundancies and won't be the most optimal in it's methods
But as you yourself get better at it, you'll spot them and may not even need the help
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Thanks for the tips yesterday. Finally got that fucker down
Tell me, why should I enter the dance with 0 combo points in DS?
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
shadowstrikes from DS does quite alot more dmg than it does on trickster
But ds wants to storm, i think
i'm +1 ilvl and youre simming 10k more than i am. wild
nvm boo this man you have 4 pc
Stop attacking mate
Tier set big
never, i'm in my berserker rage
Gloves!
Basically the best thing I could get from them
Def feels like the fight is frontloaded with difficulty. The second and third (enrage) cycle are way easier as Dread Breath is either always on the tank (second cycle) or barely happens.
Once you get to the final cycle and people are in the flow they feel pretty easy and should fall over since you can put them in cleave range
!macros
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
I didn't try it but I'm def going to try in the future: What if we step vaelgor when targetted with dread breath. In theory it should just rotate him 180 immediately and aim away from the raid in an instant, right?
just tell everyone to use defs and keep dpsing
I just pulled it yesterday eve 2-3 times. How did you survive the Whiteswings? They just kill me 😅
Just wanted to get a clarification. So Vessel isn't entirely sim bait or what are the thoughts on it?
I personally think it's simbait until Blizz hotfix the visual on the souls, but ymmv.
Feels like most of the time I sit at 1 or 2 stacks. But I also could be better at noticing them. I considered the addon above, but I also don't like using sounds
Entirely possible it's just a skill issue on my part but I found it completely useless in chaotic content and most raid fights during my testing.
Sim assumed something like 3.5 stacks or so on average
Would have to check again, but I remember checking the html
it ramps to 3
and stays there for the most part
sometimes goes to 4 but not for long yea
Went with this Valeera build and tricksed her the entire fight. The Mantle of stars curio usually keeps you alive when Valeera is down and you res her. I also made sure to have around 310k+ hp. Shadow dance pretty much resets all aggro from you during its duration too so you can take advantage of that
Also make sure to get food buff + campfire buff and use consumes for an easier time
hey guys, is it better to keep SB 30 more sec to sync it with racial/trinket or dont care ?
Hey ! Should I make macroses for shadow dance + finishers, or SD + Secret tech is enough ?
no
anything 2min is now a 3min
you can macro dance+evis too or dance+bp but it is not as prevalent as dance+sectech
thanks !
you kinda only dance+finish not being sec tech on second dance if you dont have 4 tier set and guidon
Its working lmao
hey guys, would you use an early catalyst on hero legs for 2 set? i probably won't get tier legs (since i got hero here already) from the boss, so it's just weather or not to get the 2 set for monday and gamble i don't see tier legs as the only hero tier option wednesday
no legs are our free spot this season
get the legs off pit of saron
i think hero legs are played with outlaw only..assass takes from another dungeon
just wait for reset for tier, pray its in your vault
yeah i get that but the 2 set seems super strong still so wondering if there's a chance it could be worth
wouldn't use a cata charge on it
2k rating gets you another piece then you cata the last for 4p
hit a 5 and drop some hero gear for yourself on reset
that is the best play although im right with you, im resisting the urge to cata
@tacit thistle
cheers
if you still have your bountiful map for delves
yeah exactly, especially since i have hit some high logs in the early season (on normal tho /shrug) so i wanna try and keep those
can also appear a piece of hero gear this week
nah i used everything already
maxed guidon i got first kill
anyone know the % upgrade for 2pc/4pc?
🙂
someone said 9% for 2 set yesterday
If i sim 59k dps with 248 ilvl, am i doing something wrong then?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
wait until vault maybe you get tier there natty
around 8-9% for 2p 7 to 8 for 4p
for tricskter in total around 16-17%
DS a bit less
Do we craft our belt already?
@tribal blade behold my absolute scuffed and fucked opener for the kill on cosmos
why is yours higher than the images
is this updated?
Should I proc apex for aoe spenders with supercharged cp's ?
@lilac stag
LOL oh no

homerun trinket play
but pot also after sectec
the sectech into puzzlebox into potion
that is unfortunate
incredibly based
it's because my muscle memory is to press potion after channeling box
this is the type of sandbagging that should make the discord proud
no heroic week nerfs this time
i do it for the team
I burn way more pots but i bind pot to blades
tRiNkEtS wItH cAsT tImEs ArE fUn AnD eNgAgIng
ive moved out the trinket from the macro in anticipation of a trinket ill never have
still somehow purple parsed with that
i'm guessing it's not like TWW sub
you can mess up blades window and recover
yeah less emphisis in the burst
also do i take the trinket to not have to deal wiht this bullshit?
margin of an omega fuck up 
hahaha
redo parse next week
beat the chinese rogues
get 100

wtf if i have bad item stats but ilvl 250
i can free upgrade every item (same slot) to ilvl 250?
I was surprised at how shit the puzzle box felt to activate. Even gotta wait for the global cd before using it
"Hold on guys gotta solve my Rubix cube before we pull"
yes it'll just cost gold
not crests
is the simulationcraft client not optimized for ancient arts? wouldnt there have to be atleast one sequence of 2 shadowstrikes in a row?
but i can repeat it right ? like if i get another shoulder again i can just free it?
yeah it's forever free
ty very much
once you get it to that ilvl once
tbh im curious about that trinket
how much cdr can you even getr
as DS you force so many crits
even with our shit crit rn
why for some reason, i have finger 253, and the other finger 246, and it let me free upgrade it to 250, but cost 20crest for 253?
you need the same ilvl in both slots to unlock it for both
tnx
so you would need to get a 2nd ring that's 250
then both slots are free upgrades to 250
same with trinkets
so i can use crest early, cuz u basicly lvl up the ilvl of a slot and not just for specific item?
yeah you're leveling the slot
not the item correct
great mechanic, ty!
well i should say you're leveling BOTH at the same time 😉
Anyone else struggling to do dps in the 1st boss of raid? No teir
