with hm 2/6 guidon
soooo many hero pieces looted today, but drop to 600 haste with it, can't get an accurate sim because of gems/enchants.
spark is not catalyst
ITS NOT CATALYST
I know it's irrelevant, but I was wondering if hte interaction is the same on the spaghettocodo level
get arcanoweave lining on a belt
recraft mythic ,spend sparks on belt
that's better to use spark on
BELT HERO 272?
WHICH ENCHANT
AND EMP
arcanoweave lining
soooo many hero pieces looted today, but drop to 600 haste with it from 701, can't get an accurate sim because of gems/enchants. how worth is 700 haste vs the 600 as trickster?
WHY IS ATL CAPPING
caps lock
You'd miss the two breakpoints with the haste cap : Double SecTec during blade + 7.3 dance duration to have it fade after your last GCD (7.3 bc of Coup GCD = 1.2)
YES NOW LEAVE US ALONE I HAVE MY BRAIN VOICE SHOUTING INSTEAD OF TALKING WHEN I READ YOU
BRO
WHY YOU HATE ME
if u are under 700 haste then haste mastery if you are over 700 haste then crit mastery
SAY IT LOUDER I DONT HEAR YOU
also yes please stop all caps
MY HASTE 677
ALR
Xdddddd
i keep getting gray parses is there something about backstab plus eviscerate that i’m not understanding
Chill with the all caps my dude
oh no, even his haste starts with brainrot

do i maybe have to hit the button harder
Oh poor baby, read the faq and try the macros, ignore the too technical stuff
!faq
i have
i can’t tell if i’m just horrible at padding
or i’m actually just a fucking idiot
oh also meant to ask
that faq is updated about the
gng dont feel bad I am also doing ahh
having ancient arts on every non secret technique finisher during all shadow dances
i have ques
is this current true information
No
Only supercharged cp
when i recraft should matterial high quality ?
!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).
only on supercharged
Basically you want only for supercharged and then do strike evis even without aa
yes, high quality for better chance at rank 5
so basically usually just the first eviscerate after i enter dance
cause my first supercharged should be going to sec tech
Yes, evis or coup
gloming alloy not avalible in ac high quality
i see
sterling alloy sorry
well obv if you can only get one type then get one type

Do you have 4set @nocturne shale ?
is there more commands like this with info i should perhaps know about
nope haven’t gotten a SINGLE FUCKING PIECE
fucking stupid game
same, lmao
Anyone know how important 700 haste is vs 600 haste as trickster if it means 3-4 pieces going from champ to hero?
longer dance from deepening and it's the perfect cutoff for the last global to hit
important
how much is the damage increase ?
i remember looking at the chart and it said like 12 fucking % but then i was told that the entire thing was wrong
For once you eventually get 4set, your second sectech should be on your second supercharged cp for better optimization
It's 14% and it isn't wrong
At least all orange parsers have at least 2set
@slate nest this good
what’s the % for 2 set?
Yea sure
2set is 9% increase
4 set from 2 set is 5%
in total 14%
i’m getting 2k tmrw and getting 2set prolly
got me fucked up
5 Hunters on Vanguard 😂
We gonna witness a Zul moment? 
fawk
oh yeah and the numbers are for trickster
For ds it's smaller as you can see
but still it gives a lot

Do you guys have any good addon suggestions for tracking the Escalating Blade buff?
❤️ Thank you
Yeah 4set 🙂
Is it worth holding coup outside dance til you have sec
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
@void ocean i started yday 
ok srsly wtf
I deadass hit lvl 90 10 min before raid hahah
no, what other spender will you use? You can't evis and your sectech should be on cooldown or just came up but you need dance for that aswell, black powder is a way but you don't use it on single target so just use it
is it fine to macro guidon to blades or should i just keep it on its own
Someone said u should press it a bit before dance
!aa

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
Light Company Guidon (haste when used) - You need to use the trinket slightly before Shadow Dance to get the extension from Deepening Shadows. (delay of application is ~0.1-0.2 sec, but can take up to 1 sec, plan accordingly)
do not bind guidon, I can't stress this enough, guidon like 1 second before blades and dance so you can get the longer dance from deepening shadows, blizz spaghetti code only checks your haste every 1 second for deepening shadows to work, so if you bind it together you lose 1 global in dance
kk ty
And the longer you dance the longer you do more dps
Anyone know why on our opener we hold the second dance until we have sec tech. but at 1.5min and 3min we don't do this?
Is this just purely becuase of lust?
lust makes it easier yes otherwise it is very tight
and you might even miss the dance extend either way
With 4 set, if I understand it correctly, it's okay to fire sectech without supercharge cbp as long as it's still in the dance window while shadowblades is active. Is that correct?
yea the optimization to try and supercharge it is hard to do without lust
Yes still this tier rogue and melee in general will be gutted
I hate that it's phyiscally painful not to craft the myth dagger rn
Are you concerned you'll get the 2nd boss one or that you'll lose the crests to the bug?
thankfully i have my own alt to craft but the but would be disastrous
I'm sorry, what bug?
Apparently there's a small chance you lose your crests on recraft
there is a chance if you recraft that you lose the mythic crests
but get the same item
Wow..
It didn't happen to me (or anyone I actually know) tho
put a ticket into blizz and i bet you get the "did you check resources like wowhead for answers"
from their automated system
gutted?
Is it possible to "skew" stat values when you sim for example Dropimizer
with us being kinda hard stuck 18%ish (more around 700 haste) it makes simming quite iffy. is it possible to ADD or SUBTRACT haste from a sim to see what it would suggest if i had particular haste values?
If we crafted dagger, is there any scenario we dont upgrade it till 2nd boss?
gotta collect interest
is renown trinket really this good/other trinkets so bad? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/caN8ZAHiZQG3r9vC1vF3GV even the hc gaze only sims for 1.3k on max upgrades
Anyone use any other macros other than the sd+sectec one?
Renown trinket is good until either vessel (ew) gaze or plume
blades+sd+sectech
sd+storm (if I cant dance with full cp)
cdg+bp so I can always cast cdg when it's up in aoe and i dont have to think
I think these are the 4 best macros
(including dance+sectech)
U go blades+sd+sectec in that order?
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance

Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance

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.
eh nevermind it's not here
Also do not use the trinket macro if you have guidon, it's bad
I am gonna repeat myself till the end of times (until blizz fix) about this xd
Appreciate the help guys!
you use it when you can
Do I just replace my bp button with the cdg+bp macro and just always press?
it is a damage trinket
Yea cause im running double on use
i assume i just use light with my cds
and other one just whenever
Is trinket sims still not working?
yes
good morning lovely people, how was heroic for you, did you get good loot?
Hey fuu!
got last piece for 4set and lights company trinket
oh nice, congrats
I wish I did hc, I am raiding on friday (hopege for tier from normal and hc)
Also need to do lfr xd
nooooo
Use lcg about 1 sec before cds
Trust me
Gonna raid tonight, probably won't get anything tho
deepening shadows updates every 1 second so you can get lucky with getting deepening shadows if you cast trinket and only wait like 0.1-0.2 seconds but you need to wait a little for your dance otherwise your deepening won't give you longer dance
if i have to cast puzzle box one more god damn time
drives me up a wall shadowstriking behind them then standing there with my dick (puzzlebox) in my hand
yep
we did re-clear normal and a bit more than half of heroic yesterday
its like a meme (hold up im gonan fuck you up real hard once i get this cast off...stares at a huge pack of mobs)
(we only raid 2.5h/raid day)
Why can't it just be instant and off gcd 😩
they could have just made it instant use but it delays giving you the stats by 2 seconds
like its solved in the background
puzzle box cast time for sure is annoying
heroic loot just comes down to trinkets for me at this stage.
I got two BoEs and thats all
I have the raiding bug again and kind of want to grind out mythic raids but its hard finding a place without experience that is recent
nice, 🤑
I snagged a sneaky gaze away from H chim after people bitched at the tanks / heals who rolled above me and somehow ended up in my lap
most guilds are fine taking someone with less experience if the logs are decent/good, however probably not now
start of xpac has too many motivated players
but once the "honeymoon" phase ends
it's not too hard to (slowly) climp up to decent guilds
True
Don't forget the ever important "good vibes" part
We shall see, for now we plough m+
Vibes > progress duh
My raiding history was all in US, but i went to EU since dragonflight and just lost all my contacts
I found it rly difficult to find a guild that has a non toxic enviroment
and it was al ong time ago, im a retired hardcore retired in effect which means nothing
You can probably find a pretty solid more casual Mythic group to start. Do a few with them, then swap (which is expected behaviour, tbh)
Yeah, same.
It's why I puglord. Also schedules.
And I hate voice comm, too
Getting a few Mythic kills, good logs and you can leapfrog to somewhere better.
I actually managed to find a good guild while having literally 0 experience and being a huntard, managed to get 6/8 M on Manaforge with them :P
and they are friendly
I/We had 3 issues in raid yesterday
guys what should i buy the silver hunt or gold , cuz the silver has higher recipe diffuculty does it mean its better?? im so confused
Gold = better. All it does is reduce the skill requiered for the crafter
Silver makes it harder to craft, and thereby harder to hit Rank 5 with
alrighty thank u @keen dome
Always try to use gold quality (max rank) reageants
- RC Loot council did bug out/break multiple times.
- Discord Voice Chat broke yesterday, we had to use the WoW in-game voice client
- My Nameplate addon randomly stopped working (some other people also had addons break)
Haha, how was the in-game voice?
Oof
That's crazy
What nameplate addon do you use
NameplateKAI, because it solved a problem for me
(basically was required to make wow playable)
Weird performance issues with the new default nameplates, right?
it seems fixed
the gold one makes crafting easier
for the crafter
Very strange problem and I really wonder what they did to break it for low spec hardware
NameplateKai had an option to dissable default nameplate hooks/unload them so they couldn't cause issues
had because they now removed the option when reworking their configurations
(tho the code is still there from what i saw, so you could set it manually in the .lua config)
but i had no performance impact from normal nameplates in raid yesterday
so i think blizz solved whatever was causing the problem
Neat
is there a way to track the first dance buff, without checking our buff bar ? xd
there are addons that track it
ingame voice oof
The "cobra effect" refers to
a phenomenon where an attempted solution to a problem backfires, making the situation worse due to perverse incentives. Coined by economist Horst Siebert, the term originates from a story set in British-ruled India, where a bounty on dead cobras led locals to breed them for profit.
I know stat weights are a meme, but it's kinda hilarious that the bot values haste lower than offhand dps beyond the threshold
after they cancelled the incentive, cobra farmers released them to the wilderness and ended up having even more cobras around than before
Goal was not to delete addons
But reduce the amount of mandatory tools
And reduce the gap between users and no users
I love how they wanted to remove WAs but then the community decided to make most of the auras standalone addons 
Also man you've got a christmas hat on it's almost april. smh.
Feeling jolly all year long
yea goal was to have in game options which render addons obsolete and unnecessary, which is, judging by the amount of addons around, clearly not the case
I mean, they wanted to implement in game what addons did without the addon creators help
if they legit employed the major addon creators we'd have good ingame options
but that isn't the case
for example the Better(insert ingame option name) addons, they are so much better
they ruined details bcs now I can't have the DETAILS of my dps, as funny as that sounds
just bcs they limited combat data access
how to understand by logs what im doing wrong, no troll question, have no clue how to "read" them and compare
does this discord have a list of some really good sub rogue macros?
i cant seem to find them

ah thank u
this thing was hiding from me
i saw shindig use coup de grace black powder macro and i was like wtf...
so i had to come here
Instead use:
#showtooltip Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
yea i cant use cd macros anyways im using the annoying puzzle box
it's good, you use it for aoe and you don't have to track coup like that so it just uses it automatically
just make sure to stay in melee
def
yo thats an insane macro wtf
putting it rn lol
thats what i said dude lol
yeah im just chocked lmao
i was like wtf?
Just make sure to put coup before bp
yup ofc
otherwise it wont work
its amazing
I use 4 macros currently, one for bp coup, one for blades dance sectech, one for dance sectech and one for dance shuriken storm (if I ever have to dance without full cp)
These 4 addons legit doubled my overalls on keys xd
macros*
Wait i just checked wowhead and its telling me to to shadow dance->shadow blades->sectec
@vale pine ?
is that better?
I mean I think it's the same outcome since it's all off gcd
So you just cast them the same frame anyways
hi i read the FAQ about the AA optimizations and for the deathstalker the macro has shuriken storm which i understand since ShStrike will be delayed but how come its not a sectech like for trickster
bcs you start dance on deathstalker with 0cp and on trickster with max cp
ahh gotcha
think its worth to put dance/storm together?
Yes, because dance + shadow strike is slower by 0.2 seconds
You always want to have an insta cast spell for dance start so you don't waste time on first global
true actually
and since shadowstrike activates 0.2sec after dance you can't use that
!aa

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
Also if I can recommend, just play trickster for every fight, deathstalker is theoretically better by like 1% if I remember correctly but you have to learn deathstalker stuff aswell and that will just make your brain leak
Hey all, do we craft a third item next week? And what is that? I currently have dagger and belt
Craft what you don't have on the same ilvl, it doesnt matter
Just make sure to not put embelish bcs you can't equip 3rd embelishment
This kind of good overall? Not sure what numbers are you guys getting on 11s
When I finished the key I realized I had no flask so now I feel I could have squeezed out more
What dungeon was that and what's ur ilvl?
mgt and I'm not sure exactly (had to log out ) but around 255
Set?
4 set, yes
Ahh
Checks out
I was thinking 2 set and was like damn
Seems on par imo
Nice. I have seen some caster comps with like 200k overalls already
So I was like meh
We are melee, we deserve to be below casters, blizzard hates us
Well thats normal
Cries in melee
I am almost certain I can pull better overall on my mage at 236 xd
But I didn't want to be 4th mage on raid, so i became the only rogue
Great Success
I did a +11 maisara and it feels god awful for melee. But im also not that great
caverns is also garbage dungeon
Great power come with great responsibilities
u did the right thing
More loot for u 😄
It's not since we share tier with mage if im not mistaken 
I can't remember
and another one im missing
question team for M+ would heart of the wild be a better trinket than gale? i believe gale is better for raid from what wowhead is saying but at the same time i havent simed yet. just curious what ppls opinions are
isnt it monks
Tier set are now shared with the armor type
dont know bro, gaze box is rlly strong i believe
I just checked my raid
but always sim just to be sure
It's me and our tank brew for tier xd
yea gale is fire
Did u try sim?
I also saw 4 mages so I'd be 5th frost mage if I was there 
noice lol
not yet but i might as well
u should be good
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I saw 1 tier for leather, lost to the tank last raid 
but always sim
Dungeon slice and patchwerk
I can tell right now, gale is better, if heart was on use haste you'd be using heart but random proc haste is worse than stacking random proc agility
Not having to use puzzlebox even with a small dmg nerf might be some nice qol xD
yeah that trinket is cancer
Still better than fuckin vessel
but its so good too
Its like a sour patch
If I have a choice to use puzzlebox or vessel, Im choosing puzzlebox every time
are those candy good? I'm eu so I never had any
Crazy
nice one
i kinda feel like 4p is messing up with logs
yesterday night was a blast for me too
Was like wtf lol
Sub feels alot better to play with 4p
yeah for once its really game changer
Will see friday what I can get
in any case next week ull get the 2nd cata
2p is rlly good too atm
we need sub buffs immediatedly
At least 2p if I get scammed by lfr rolls or raid xd
Going from 0p to 2p felt pretty good ngl
Or just make sure people with 0p can compete with 4p
whats the strat for the vanguard fight? spam SS and BP?
Im not saying make us do 99 with 0p but I dont want 14% buff just from getting the 4p
Yeah i spammed BP all the fight yesterday
worked pretty decent
but youll end up 10th lol
anyway
yeah was 8th lol
the stronger the tierset the better imo
makes it feel good to go from patch to patch
Yall using cleave talent build or the st one? In raid
and gives you something to work for
i use cleave for all but the 2nd of voidspire
Bet. Was doin the same
yeah its kinda the only st fight
whats the max amount of mobs we hit with shuriken and black powder? is it 5 or 8?
no cap
Uncapped?
like hard cap
Yee
but you lose damage with more targets
yeah it was pretty bad days lol
20
u lost damage? how do u lost dmg?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
oh so theres a hard cap??
Imagine no diminishing returns
mb then
SENT MY ENTIRE COOLDOWNS WH EN BOSS WAS EMPOWERED AND HAD DR
yes 20
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Ooo
fuck first boss
its like that for all aoe spells in the game
and still 0 guideons
thx for this!
thats "soft capped"
like theres less damage the more mobs youre hitting
its square root scaling
lol our tank did that today to us
so after 8 it kinda stops doing more
ohh it balances it out basically. i understand. but its still the best option to do
btw can we get aoe blind already, it's so tilting doing keys without aoe cc
ahh ok ok
sorry we're not a dk 🙂
1 question, why use:
/cast shadow dance
/cast Secret Technique
no its better :
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique ??
please sir, a crumb of utility

the only place i feel useful is being able to kidney the bird on last boss of skyreach
but we have shadow clones 🙂
I feel that
yeah thats badass tbh
what feels bad is a 13 seat where i made the stupid choice to cheapshot during dance
i've been enjoying pretending impvping
to save my shaman
full stun full stun
i regretted it
i cheap next
yeah it's kinda fun
feels a bit less fun in mass aoe
kinda bricking dance to cheap instead of genning 7 cps
for those who have done heroics this week, which fights are you running PP over WM on?
100%
don't run PP on 2nd boss or crown
10s are so easy anyway i stopped caring
every other boss you can
lol true
me and my guildies did the last key of the night a few hours ago
chest pieces are a myth

and everyone was so tired we fucked up the entire dungeon over and over
had at least 5 wipes
had to reset 1st boss 2 times
and still 2 chested it
imagine a world where atrophic poison was good
the 13 seat was the same, had a shaman die 8 times, one wipe on a boss, stilled timed
oh yeah the timer on seat is very free
it's funny doing these keys with the thought in the back of my mind how i'm gonna deal with all this stuff at title range and feeling stressed out even though i know i'm not pushing
4-set time 🙏
1 question, why use:
/cast shadow dance
/cast Secret Technique
no its better :
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique ??
HUGE
if you want to use the 2nd macro you need the 1st macro seperate too
It only cost me a lot of gold to buy from a very nice monk, but I can do it
wouldn't advise using only the 2nd macro
ohhh true , yes , now understand ty ty
yall make me wanna convert 2 vet pieces
if that makes 4 set go for it
honestly 4p then farming and hoping for cata charges is the play
def not
upgrade them as you get more charges
it would make 2 set
ah then sad
yeah i catalyzed 2p on champ gear
already have dropped 2 catalyst charges
so definitely the play
I basically got 1 piece from raid, then cata'd one, 1 from vault, then cata'd the other from 2k rating
Yeee, best plan
How yall have 2 charges already? I still only have 1
when u get the 4p
2k from M+ gives a charge
you start to drop cata charges random
No shitttt
yep
Incredibly real i timed a 10 +2 with 235 ilvl 
yep and then you will start dropping more of them
to replace the bad piece you catalyzed before
Cata charges dropping after getting 4set is the best thing
Not seeing rogue during rwf is crazy tech
How often do they drop though
I hate rwf ngl, hyper optimizing and ruining the economy in the meantime by distributing millions of gold
!log
Guys I'm in for first 2 mythic tonight send prayers for my Guidon and dagger 🙏
also for alts?
that was changed, its char bound
I assume shadow focus works with shadow dance too?? Or just stealth?
think of shadow dance = stealth
Yeah that's what I was thinning, thank you ❤️ I was just wondering why is gloomblade there, this talent existing next to shadow focus....
gloomblade is an improved backstab
Yeah but it is on a row which is never gona be used for sure 😂
And it's not usable since you wanna minimize your backstab usage xd
Aight ty guys
And you have better talents
a lot of talents are never going to be used, but this conversation is a different topic
I miss the old dragonflight debates of Sepsis vs Flag (I was playing pvp and used Sepsis)

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hi, any1 would like help me a bit on rotation issues i got ? i know is funny, but i think i somehow missunderstood something in spec
Shoot
i do quite well in m+ , ion over 10, from like 1 hour,with over 110k dps
but in raid, my logs are grey
Tell me your average rotation for raid
so i ,in 2 targets
i do use BP or evisc?
my rot,is showdowstrike, over 6 cb,i evic
on showdodance i got macro with seqtech
but i donty know if i have to keep
sectech, only when am on dancer
and never use it outside of dance
do i have to wait all th time,till dance come up?
yes, only use sectech in dance
and only with the 2 extra combo points right?
And only with supercharged cp
yeah
yes is supercharged ok
got that mistake
so i got 2x dance
i delay the 2nd dance for the sectech
or use it
and on 3rd dance waity for sectech
i do got , 21 crit, 20 haste, 64mastery unbuffed
For opener, you use shadow blades and you want to use 2 dance during that
on blades am ok
i do the perfect rot
with 2x dance
2x sectech
outside of that seems i do got issues
Outside blades you only dance when you have sectech
this depends if you got 4set or not, you could sec tec with blades in 2nd dance
i do
i got 4set yesterday
mythic weapon, trinkets etc
got light guidon
macro on blades
Use guidon, wait 1 second, then blades
sorry unrelated- does anyone have a trinket tier list for sub by any chance?
fuu guide on wowhead
yes, you trinket, wait then blades+dance+sectech
got you, appreciate 😎
did they fix recrafts yet or are they still stealing crests
can you clarify this? taking notes

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
the bottom talent in ur left tree
So you know when you go into dance you get 2 blue combo points right? Only use sectech when you have those
when u use shadowdance u supercharge
so if u have full cp + 2 supercharged u actually get for example 7 instead of 5 power usage
But it's better to macro dance + sectech so you don't have to think about it
as ok, always use sectech directly after sd but didnt know super charge was guaranteed
in TWW when you were using symbols you were supercharging your next 2 finishers, this was implemented into shadow dance as symbols were pruned
yes, in midnight you get supercharge with dance
@tribal blade puzzle box gaming gang gang
NICE
when do u use it then if it has 2min cd and ur cds r 1.5m?
fak the puzzle, it breaks my stealth
Every other
lol i can't wait until it's "fuck puzzlebox fuck cast times just wait the 1 second timer"
every 3 minutes 
so next question,for raid how much haste do i need? i got 20 haste, 21 crit,and 65% mastery
you can wait 30 seconds if you don't lose a cast of sblade
situationally you can do that
wdym
so this boss died at 6min (enrage)
~700
ah
if over the course of an encounter you don't lost a cast of blades
dont use % you want 700 haste, then you do rest in mastery crit
so if i casted every 3 min i wouldnt get a 3rd use on the 6min
it's probably easier to do that in keys
yes
Okay
or else you won't have enough haste for every dance besides just the x2 in blades
i wonder how fight dependent it is tbh
with puzzle box
yeah like i heard using puzzlebox blows on king saladhar
or at least it's dangerous
ye sending second puzzle with adds right?
idk i just send
i mean it just line up
double on use tech v2
puzzle box timing does NOT line up with adds
idk i got heroic guidon as nobody else play it
propably not in my split
nice lucky
I got guidons over the 2 uh dks in the raid 
yeah dk and warr in second split
but my loot prio on gaze propably very low 😄
that rep trinket will stay for a while
Just get from vault 
rogue in weird spot anyway
Tbh if you take out dragons and vanguard the raid is pretty fine for rogue on hc
yeah but heroic nothing matters
i'm not overly worried because i'm beating the MM and locks in my guild in raid atm
When rogue best class?
rogue only raid when?
last tier
when rogue stack?
kind of
do we use SD if sectech not coming in like 2 seconds and if we're not holding for blades?
max even said last tier "we should have brought more rogues"
this was me channeling puzzle box and cancelling it TWICE before sending at 5min
because poop puddles spawning on me
fuck puzzle box
THERE IT IS
outside blades you dance with sectech, otherwise you hold

the duality of man
in before we're back to hating guidons again
so for example if i got out of burst, my sechtech is 10 sec cd and i have 1 dance - i just hold until i can combine them with tech?
Like when tech gonna be 2 seconds cd - i can start dance?
Fimbul will be happy once they fix shadowblades and we can macro guidon to burst xd
I said shadowblades not the actual talent name 
the way i'm sending guidons with cds is starting to fuck me up sometimes
because i'm doing guidons>blades during 1 sec wait>dance+sectec macro
but pressing all that i can brain fart and mess it up
because piano
I only use dance when I can either instantly sectech with it or when I have 0cp I use it with shuriken storm then insta sectech
might just macro dance+sectec with blades
i think i might end up macro'ing it with shadowstrike
defs do that
that macro so chill
only issue is there's rare cases i go into blades window with 0 CP
press one more global
doesn't happen often, but can happen when trying to do super tight timing for w/e reason
It definitely is more than 0.2 seconds a lot of times
make a new macro/press sdance+strike then press the macro
If I am too trigger happy, my dances are definitely not buffed
not more macros por favor
oh interesting
yeah could work
i have a button for dance+strike macro already anyways
Macro your macros! And the. you can macro effectively
thats what iv'e been doing if i fuck up
Macro
from way back when
does ur macro include boxing late fimb
dance + strike macro 
i used to use dance+strike macro all the time before they broke it
I am just wondering in what circumstances we are supposed to use this
idk i just feelycraft shit
I am not sure if it was ever not broken, the 0.2 seconds just didn't matter
When for example you get into a dance window (either blades dance sectech or just normal dance sectech) and you have 0 cp
Now you are frothing at the mouth if you are at 640 haste only
it def used to work, i think it was either during TWW or DF beta i was on the ptr
based opener tho
used dance+strike macro and was like "wtf is going on why isn't it going off"
then the TCs discovered blizz broke it
and never fixed it
whoda guessed
Oh no
haha
It has been too long
3% buff fixed everything
They can't fix it now
Vanguard is just doomed, no matter what they do
I assume Charrend is the outlier dot. Hoarding all the damage.
to be fair a lot of things broke over time
but then we'd become god mode in keys
e.g.
so there's no winning
you used to use stealth in dance
that's true
they've "deved" us into a corner again
imagine how good we would be if nimble still worked like it did in TWW
shadow dance was allowed to be used during shadow dance
i find rogue fixes funny because sometimes they just give up
No1 cares About keys though so it might be a win
the reason it isn't anymore was that they broke the initial "short" gcd lock
and instead of fixing that
i know a LOT of people who care about keys 😉
they just made it so you can't use it during
I didnt mean it like that bossman
i think there may be more people that care about keys than raid nowadays
i'd laugh so hard if they buffed black powder back to what it was before (and fix nothing)
I meant the higher ups blizzard mans care About raid more
Anything in the code that is at least 2 expansions old is ancient text and they can't touch it bcs they don't understand the spaghetti
they for sure do
copilot may nuke the code
so maybe it actually does happen
and im all for it
honestly just delete the class and set us all free
We can expect 8% bp buff.
they treat it like archaeologists treat some ancient Egyptian wall carvings
@copilot please try to fix rogue bugs without breaking them

and it just deletes all builders
true
no more bugs you cant use finishers anymore!
except storm
I am sure glad that they fixed MM being too strong on Vanguard
they can nerf bear again
Hunter is blizz lovechild, it can never be too weak bcs most of their devs play hunter (i assume)
idk
hunter is one of the most popular classes in game
i think there is a certain irony
What if they all are their lovechild
because i remember having this discussions in here
if I ask 5 people what Blizzard's "lovechild" is, I'll get 8 different classes in reply
basically, our cleave was, while not insane, quite fine in tww
It's ranger and warden
when they changed nimble flurry
Were we buffed yesterday ? Or anytime recently ?
i remember a lot of people argued that its only better from what we had before
so we get the same benefits
we're back to having cleave issues because of storm CP gen
my concern was, that we wouldn't
problem is just finishers arent as strong again
3% yes
wait huh?
so now you do have bp but
that too
I’m parsing 95-99’s and I’m the third from lowest in most fights in raid
biggest problem is they nerfed 3 things in a combo
I think damage wise we are actually pretty good in keys
where do i have it
it's "only" cleave that absolutely sucks
we have a meme from legion
i dunno if they make a talent "BP now strikes twice for X% effectiveness when it hits 4 targets or less"
our aoe is good
but also not insane
I don't need "insane"
The problem is that we are now at a point where they cant move
if they tune our cleave, we will be insane
We need to complain to blizzard
insane at being top 10
They need to tune our single target up
i think the argument was
our single target is fine
that nimble made tuning harder
I remember being top dps as sin in EN
but i think its harder to tune now
heroic cosmos sucks
because, if you buff BP, you always buff aoe
It not though our sustained single target is not good sorry
you mean only 40% behind the shadow priest?
or 20% behind the warrior in nya
Maybe my raid was garbage xd
And I was just decent
what are you smoking?
I’m parsing 95’s-99’s in raid and am always second to last or third from lowest
i guessed we could be good snipers and we can be
and is that all single target or what
So I’m not smoking anything and we need to be tuned up
but after the nerf we cant even do that
which fight in raid is single target
because it means, the entire bp/nimble nerf was technically overnerfing
There is no single target fight in this raid
i miss our cleave so much
"my parses are good and I'm behind". Conclusion: "our single target sucks".
i mean its a hot take
from few days ago guess how much dps did the top dps on this fight
i take bets
the main argument people had against it
idk if you had to make more decisions
was that aoe vs. st was not super obviouse
it's just different cutoffs now
my argument for it is
middle of the pack on 2nd boss
Nimble was peak !!
What fight and I'll tell ya
if you just look at boss dam
even if you palyed it wrong
you cant have too much info!
That sucks
Nerf sin!
so the evis/bp threashold was actually not that punishing
TRUE
and most people could just evis up to like 5-8 targets
I'll say that any blaster on an actual good class if you did 85 probably did...105k?
that's literally the definition of not sucking
and never care
Maybe 115k
and only BP once you go AOE
sucking would be bottom of the charts
no no, buff sub
Middle is not good
we look good/decent on the single target fights
Cooked take factory
its just, these are very early in the raid
yeah it's not good but not bad
guys If we keep bottom damage we are gonna get buffed 
and we can pad on dragons
Brother play the class because you enjoy it not because it's the best

Not good is bad
almost there yea top dps did 120k actually
i give up
and chimerus
Damn my second guess of 115 was close
Oh I enjoy it in pvp but that’s it
it was salhadar nm
You should give down instead, or give middle?
let's everyone just grey parse so they think we got overnerfed and they buff us

LOL
you know it took me a second to figure out what you wrote
Ah makes sense
PvP enjoyer
PvE whinger
Well it’s just very underwhelming in pve 🤷♂️ it’s just true
anyone have any idea why the note section doesnt appear when LFG through the dungeon finder
i think for most parts
rogue is fine
its just weak for a pure dps class without raid utility
dw, we are getting nerfed in pvp soon, we are oneshotting, so enjoy it while it lasts, we will be back to stunslutting in no time
I think we are just cursed with the current iteration
blizz just needs more time to cook stuff up
Don't think they have the "tuning levers" for easy fixes rn
i do think so
It's a knob, not a lever, imo
oh i'm not playing the game the whole time
is this opener correct
well well
also i found out discord will sometimes show me playing wow for WAY longer than i actually have been
Yes, you casted a little too many spells after your 2nd shadowstrike
I had a crazy run yday. 17 hour shift finished lvling + stole all raid items and timed 2 10s but i am 
i think guildies saw me once online for something like 24-48 hours before or something stupid
Hi guys, I might be asking the most dumb question, does it actually matter if you use Shadow Blades 0.1 seconds befoee Shadow dance? or cann you use them in any order if macrod together
which is impossible
I once had 84 hours played on genshin in 1 sitting.
10 second of nothing goes crazy ngl
lol yeah waking up at 4am to do keys before raid was something
that night was the best sleep i've gotten in over a year
Timing your trinket and cooldowns pretty on point into doing nothing for the rest of the window goes HARD
Feeling full everything done
Good sleeps.
JEEsus
Is this a degen off? 😄
