thanks!
you just need to get correct jewellry from m+ and change around enchants and gems
the neck certainly helps a lot
How am I getting 2 sectec’s in blades at 570 haste then?
BL
700 haste is for the extra global every dance
has nothing to do with the sectech cooldown
!aa

- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
2 sectech in blades is about 4 piece
Damn, so the enchants and gems on Wowhead guide aren’t correct if you don’t have 700 haste? When I sim myself it’s still saying to use mastery/crit gems.
yessir
Damn. When trusting the Sims leads you astray.
That logic for both ST and AoE?
700 haste?
haste breakpoints be makin things shitty
I feel dumb reading u guys i'm still using the rotation helper
i don't know how much dps i lose doing that
A lot
I have a macro with sectech inside it and it nevers goes off
yes
what's the biggest mistake i could be making ?
is it not using sectech as my first finisher after casting shadow dance ?
when im on chimaerus (MYTHIC) in grp 1 down i cant even blast on pull?
i get knocked up before my 2nd dance + sectech
kekw
@hazy breach Is having a blades + dance macro really worth it ?
you can shadowstep the knockup to not lose globals
first group is fine if not better imo
its not enough time
you don't lose globals getting knocked up and going down to adds
when i sectech i get knocked up and need to move to addss
just finish your second dance
then vanish to adds
you're waiting for sec tec to come back up anyways
o with first dance
Ya
i ahven't actually used that talent since i've got 4p and guidon
were you running it for chim? or just in general for m+
i've just been playing ass in keys cause it's way more chill
it's probably still worth running it in keys
but it could be just off a global with current haste values people are running
might test it out sounds interesting
i am a firm believer that group 1 is just better for sub
but people think that using blades on adds in second group is good for some reason
wdym by that
In the FAQ, it talks about supercharging your second secret technique during blades with the trinket and four piece. Why does it have you use secret technique as the second finisher? Doesn't sending Shadow dance and secret technique at the same time supercharge it already?
not getting the extension on the second dance?
any good customization Cooldown manager? that can introduce id for trinkets etc?
typically your guidon will run out before sec tec will be back up
and you want to snapshot your dance with it
Oh okay.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
regardless of whether youre using guidon
Oh, so you're just sneaking in an extra finisher before blades fall off.
Gotcha.
its the difference between getting
JUST supercharged sectech empowered by blades
or getting a supercharged evis as well
which is pretty huge
do you even supercharge your second sec tec in blades without guidon
outside of lust
yes
no sim i look at does that
and the faq specifies that you supercharge only with guidon and 4p for second dance
between dances you only backstab + evic
Between dances you cry
guys you cant add sockets anymore?
Not to neck and ring no
ty vm
!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.
do we actively avoid apexing sectec?
not really
no
the ancient art optimization is just not used for secret
so you try to use it for evis/bp
on your typicall 2nd supercharger
(if you fulfill other conditions too)

alright, thanks friends! was just wondering with the guidon playstyle where your second supercharger during second dance lands on sectech
Tfd with guidon on first pulls makes Ur dance too long to either snapshot or sectec SC feels like
yeah but tfd gives you extra guidon value anyways
so youre still getting that benefit
its just frontloaded
at most dance is 13 secs guidon is 15
something is afoot
ye it does make the timing tighter but it seems still doable
i mean
theres an extra second at the end where you are waiting the global
and an extra second at the beginning where you are waiting for a second after popping guidon
okay im in grp 3/4 and its denitely worse then 1/2
Should I get 2 set right now by using catalyst or should I greed for 4 set with the vault?
why does it say "miss" sometimes
Why you need a rotation help? We have 2 buttons single target. 2 buttons aoe.
Then we have our shadow shadow dance window is is basically a macro with sectech and then back to the above mentioned same 2 buttons
Are we still doing that? I thought they changed it so the damage gain is so tiny it’s not worth it

its small, so depends
if you want to min/max go for it
Anyone willing to have a chat with me haha, im reading the guides etc but feels like i dont get a hang of it and not sure what im doing wrong, geting bad logs... please pm me if u got time! ^^
its the only part of the rotation I look forward to atm 
might be swapping to voidman main if they let me
is there any information on the death stalker "remake" with .5 patch? i saw something about marked for death coming back to swap the marked target, but wasnt the bigger problem always the mark disappearing randomly?
looks like someone stopped logging after the first 4 bosses, but anyone mind doing a log review and telling me what I'm doing wrong?

blue parses are cringe
hey guys, there's something i don't really get with sub and the apex talent: in Shadow Dance, you wait for either an ancient arts proc to use a finisher or having supercharge combo points ?

whats the play on drake boy in voidspire? do we use storm+bp on 2t or shadowstrike+evis?
shadow>storm in dance
you never storm on 2t
and for bp or evis depends on your talents
thanks. if ancient arts is up (but there's no supercharge combo point left), finisher. Without Ancient Art, SS till Ancient Arts. i get it.
if you're running potent powder you would bp if not evis
strike until (and including) 3t
not running PP is probably the more ethical approach
hmmm
if you're running potent powder
i run that yea
it's pretty much to pad the adds for parse

he's just omega padding off orbs
as I said, storm on 2T is wrong
which if your guild is struggling to kill is not useless damage
he probably storms when he pads on adds
but i think that case will be uncommon
I've asked Stealthi for a video of his pov, he sent me a picture of his couch
(jk he didn't)
yea pretty much
sounds int
couldn't be me
very based
72k dps on orbs 🤔
are we winning guys
orbs spawns at 30 ish

i wish i could be orb destroyer 🙁
at some point you would want to ss for danse macabre no
like
the orbs will be dead before your dance runs out anyways
danse macabre is usually not a consideration
2 or 3t with premed
ahh btw im talking about mythic not hc
maybe in the edge case of 2 targets vs strike
thats what im saying like
on paladins
2 targets / 3 targets vs strike
u might want to send 1 storm for lash
i cba to sim it
ty for feelysimming
i mean theres no way its over 1%
when do you finish evis
you evis on 2t right
guys do you have a site to analyse your performances or do you have some advice to improve ? I'm new to sub (playing sin most of the time before) and I think i'm really bad actually awful parses etc...
So I am making a swap to sub until the unlikely event of a pig flying occurs and they make some changes to outlaw, are there any recommended addons for the spec?
Question, I was asked if I have tried sub, I said no. I have always been sinful by nature … any Whispyr type how play sub for dummies like me? I haven’t touched it in a while expansion
Wtf is dark horse
And then they bet me I couldn’t be them in dps … challenge accepted…
after nerfs on bp, eviscerat use with 2 targets?
Read the wowhead or icyveins guide, then read the #subtlety-faq
means might perform better than expected
More like DANK HORSE
yeah like the saying
seems like a in between spot
idk how i didnt think about it that way

hey, do we wanna enter shadow dance with full combo points always? new to sub
I do not think wowanalyzer is up to date with how sub works in midnight
wanted to ask here, tyvm
Question, is WoWanalyser compatible with sub rogue?
that is some of the funniest shit i have ever seen
holy fuck
thank you
just busted out full belly laugh
"Dark Horse"
"little is known" aka get declined idiot
"unexpectedly wins or succeeds" aka GIGAPAD
is macros for shuriken storm + shadow dance optimal to use for trickster? like what comes first, combo points from it or shadow dance, considering SS goes first in macro
🐴
black (powder) horse
why do I need to enter SD first before using SB?
If ele is legit s tier u could justify playing sub with an insaane prio spec
Bump
Hence dark horse
Yeah think unholy DK from s2 TWW
Since ele has big cds and sub has damage all the time now we complement them pretty well 
on first boss in mythic does cloaking the debuff still count as a hit on the shield for adds?
on chimaerus which set of going down is good for sub, cooldown wise?
Tbh unhdk and dev now do good prio
Could see ele sub + 1
Ye it did on beta
You’ll probably route around void meta
Did not seem to remove the dispell at all when I was doing it last night.
noted, cheers for the info
U dont really route around something that is always up
XD
stec clones or rather aoe hits around me right?
Stec around target hit box, bp around u
i see so i still want to hit the mob in the middle
and be more or less in the middle
tyvm
I hear there will be class tunning 7 april is that right?
correct
but will likely follow the stated goal of blizzard "no disruptive changes until rwf over"
anyone know how i can add socket to my belt, been meeting some rogues with it
so set your hopes very very low
my brother
thats the opposite of very low
Either get lucky and loot a belt with it. Or you take it as a consolation price from your weekly vault
is there currently a rule like in old xpac, that you want to fit an amount of x styles into a single dance?
i think it was 8 back then?
can i do that on my crafted items?
Yes
Oki thanks!
is there a big downside to running sword offhand
Thanks!
yes, shadow techniques isnt normalized for slower weapons
why do I need to enter shadow dance first before using shadow blades?
would u say its worth running 259 sword over 214 dagger
in OH
u cant use a sword
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
*can but shouldnt
yah its what i figured i just didnt know how big of a dif it was cause ilvl gap is huge
you can craft a weapon without a spark for 80 veteran crests
246? if im not mistaken
oh oh ok
otherwise just slap on hte dagger in the offhand and chill until u get a new one
offhand dps gain is much much lower than mainhand ilv l
Hi everyone, sorry if this question isn't appropriate for this channel. I have a question about damage rotation.
Should I always use Secret Technique within Shadow Dance or should I always use it during the blue Combo Point proc? In the first option, I can use it within Shadow Dance without the blue proc.
Also, should the Apex proc always be used with a Secret Technique or Coup? Can I use it with any Finisher without problems?
secret technique always with shadow dance
and always either the 1st finisher or 2nd finisher when u enter shadow dance so that you can use it with supercharged (blue) combo points
!macro
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.
apex talent should be forced only for supercharged combo point finishers when playing trickster
Does anyone know?
Your question was answered literally right above when you asked it
wowanalyzer does not work with sub o
is sub doing most in raid?
I'm blind mb
Ty!
I'm 270, but champion belt. Is it trolling to craft a 285 belt ?
yes me 2 please, i have ust been using it off cooldown

cast 1sec before burst, cast 2nd dance+finisher>filler>sectec when sectec comes back in 2sec (2.2 if coup proc). gg
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
with deathstalker you wouldn't run guidon right? you wouldn't be able to get double ST in blades cause no disorienting strikes from trickster?

Do i lose alot of damage when i cast the trinket, press blades, one shadowstrike then teq with 6 combopoints
if you get 1st or 2nd parasite thingy on you
you are extremely sad
not making that mistake again
i still played trickster on m voracius. was just on the training dummy as deathstalker and thought of the guidon thing
can confirm that you cant 2nd st in blades
idk the workaround but i cba to think too hard about DS
just dropped it out of my life
meaning youd have to use puzzle box. so more reason to never play DS lol
you do still gain 2 globals in dance on deathstalker with it
however
do you guys use the second dance in blades so, that you could supercharge your second st? i feel like iam doing something wrong
banging out some darkest nights was hella fun on hc
why we use shiv on subrogue?
We dont
because we dont
Unless you want to dispel an enrage
ok so its specific dungeons
with 4set and guidon, yes
i got something very important to show yall
might change the history of our class forever
.
!!!
With 4p + guidon you send 2nd dance+finisher>filler>2nd sectec 2sec (or 2.2 if coup up) before sectec comes back
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
as st is 3part attack, it feels like the last part hits, when blades already ended
need to check though
99% its me doing something wrong anyway
do u have enough haste ?
how much damage would we gain
yeah i meet all the conditions
if aa actually cloned the non phys part of st
you use it 2s before st is up so it’s used as your second charged finisher of that dance
alright so yeah it's you, you got this
so few secs of dance run without blades then
yes
pretty sure
with bl it perfectly fits
i couldn’t tell you bc
my
guild gave our resto druid 4set over me
so im waiting till tuesday

sad
it’s whatever
With TFD + BL you send dance+sectec when first dance fades, feels good. TWW vibes
bad drops?
i think our mail tier got cucked this week
3 of our mail dps didnt finish 4p
i already farmed 4 cata charges
Sorry I'm new to sub, what is TFD?
the first dance
Oooh that talent
Yeah
or in nhc
I've always liked it but haven't tried since only played it in raid just tonight
I respecced this afternoon to sub lmao
My DPS went up 15k in heroic raid compared to assas
But my parses are low, prolly cause I'm shit and don't have 4p yet
imo except Paladins mythic for sin with current tuning, sub is the way
i had 4set on reset while only getting 1 token from raid
one in vault 2 cata
though passing on speed alnseer
painge
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yeah I mean I got a lot of goodies waiting for next reset in vault obviously from m10s
Hopefully random tier piece that I don't got yet
Then I can catalyst the last piece
And we're balling
What's the breakpoint for sitting on shadow dance/sectec before blades comes off of CD? I've been stopping at 20 and sending when 2nd dance charge is at 7 seconds before being up or so
vs 272 m10
Even if heroic?
depends if 4p and/or guidon
what i also dont understand 100% is that my trinket does not always benefits my longer dances. i made sure to bind it to blades and i have the seperate dance and st macro, so there is a short time inbetween
but sometimes it feels, like i dont get extra dance time
i understand the talent triggers delayed so i use that 2 macros
Dont
You need to trinket before popping cds
Deepening shadows gets updated every second
its okie raidbots is immune to that delay
okidoki
it's taking a worthless risk tbf
i actually hit it slower
macroed somehow
its weird
i think my muscle memory isnt used to a different bind
compared to having the same dance and st binds for 3-4 expacs
understandable
we lost 4 buttons since midnight, but I replaced that with 5 dances macros lul
even tho I did not used the dance+bp macro since guidon+4p
Only trinket I have atm is puzzle
Kill me
(Besides protocols one)
None of the above
but e.g. on Nexus King, dance+shustorm and dance+evis are useful bc you don't want to supercharge 2nd sec tech
me as a m0 puzzle gamer
why you dont want to supercharge it?
I dont remember the exact timing, but casting sectec on your first or second dance is w/e if you don't have 4p
cause of amp dmg, you're losing dance uptime during it
so currently i pop my second dance when blades has 8s left, so i get full duration with blades and dance up and also the second st in all of it but without supercharge
you send dance like 2sec after first one fades, so you cast sectec 1.3sec before 2nd dance fades
but only on king
i need somebody to calculate the loss vs popping second dance 2s st cd remain
cause it feels more intuitive to me
to just make both cds run along
as much as possible
I do the same, this is the way according to logs
if you have guidon
HA
surely we get this week
with guidon you supercharge your sectec as the second finisher
during second dance
i understand that, as you explained it to me. it just feels not as good as to overlap blades and dances all the time
understandable, that's unintuitive
bc you play caster if you want to cast things I guess haha
!guidon
Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - Use your second Shadow Dance during Shadowblades with a delay. Means with roughly 2 seconds of the cooldown on Secret technique reminding.
Why? - The extra haste and Blades duration allow the use of a second supercharged Secret Technique.
I liked tww s3 way more but they kept and went deeper into class identity
also like anyone who complains rogue has downtime
and doesnt play outlaw
self inflicted
Subtlety downtime is hilarious compared to assas downtime imo
!up
How long do I need to wait with pressing Shadow Dance when I use my Light Company Guidon's trinket
?
Question with using puzzle is it better to send blades even though it’s got 30 secs left on cooldown or do I wait to use it with blades every time
Because I have a feeling I am pressing my SD too fast
1s = 100%
.5s = 50%
The timer for when deepening shadows checks haste is 1s, from when you log in
I can't express how much I hate that
If you macro it to ss/bs you can do sb/sd/st macro slightly after gcd
Doesn’t always work because a gcd is 1s
It gives you your gcd timer to enter
misread what you typed ur right
yeah but you still have to time that gcd press at exactly 1s or youre wasting guidon time
its just cooked
we puzzle box gang now fam
Ya ik but at least you can hit it consistently after seeing gcd instead of guessing 1s
Hi everyone, i'm new here and i would like to improve my dps as sub

Im comparing to that guy (i've more cast overall but i deal less on average)
Is it because that guy destroy adds ? what can i improve (i'm majaa)
thanks for your answer !
could very well just be gear

Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
Has anyone noticed 60m tricks of the trade isnt a thing?
I had it working the other day but could have sworn it just stopped randomly
it works fine
it goes away if you die
yeah I'm looking at key logs and their is no consistency to hte buff being up
and you need to damage something within 30s of using it to actually proc the 1h tricks
yeah ill take a look
idk i noticed it too, first i ask my tank: do you cancel tot? but he didn’t so idk maybe i die or he die or something shit
Real question. Just rolled rogue for this exp. My daggers are breaking so fast. If I die once in a m+ my daggers are like 10% by the end of the dungeon. Is this normal?
so i noticed in the bug spreadsheet that the ancient arts refund trigger doesnt happen when premed is up. does this affect how shadow dance timing should be? should i use the trigger before pressing shadow dance to get the refund and use the refund in shadow dance? i know its a badly worded question lmao
i might just be dumb and spamming out of old habit (havent touched rogue much since SL) and hard to check buffs rq with no WAs
looks like it only ever dropped when we wiped in this key or i repressed
Yep because theyve massively increased our attack speed. And every hit has a chance to remove durability
!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.
More of a oversight regarding the durability, just gotta repair before every key 
how close should I follow sims when it comes to gems/enchants? Will it always push me to the closest haste global point or do I have to use my brain to make sure I hit the breakpoints for extra globals etc

is it 2target u wana shadowstrike and 3 target shuriken storm in dance with trick?
is panda racial that good i see people swapping to panda?
You can sim it yourself its around 0.3-0.4% better then the other good races. Mechagnome pretty much the same as panda but then you have to play mechagnome so thats not an option
ye you have 100 agi from food
Is Eleem here, I have a question for the !aa
If I proc AA during the conditions and afterwards evis, I still have 1 supercharged point, should I SS again instead of going for 2 evis in a row?
Got an example here
the quality is ass but bear with me
Yes, the whole idea is to clone the supercharged cp, not just spend them
im never not going to play dwarf. dwarf is op
So you Shadowstrike again to prime Apex prior to spending supercharged points
like in the clip?
Yeah
what about regular combo points
should you aim to clone those also?
It’s honestly not that difficult, just a mental check - do I have supercharged cp? Yes > do I have apex? Yes > finish No > shadowstrike

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
Follow the rules above, regular cp no you don’t need to force it
when did our buff food get so expensive
fantastic, otherwise i would've cringed into oblivion
forcing clone on supercharged cp's is perfectly doable, i like that
Honestly I don’t think it’s make or break either way
I like the optimisation too
Oh yea, I got it. I just wasnt sure in that part. Since most of the time the first supercharged gets used by the sectec, the optimization often happens at the second charge
Yep, and speaking of the sectec thing I actually don’t know if it’s worth trying to get apex on sectec from pre-dance, my suspicion is it’s not worthwhile if it doesn’t naturally line up, since getting that many sht banked outside of aoe will be tricky without overcapping energy
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.
I’m guessing sectec clones don’t clone the clones xd
Can anyone confirm or deny?
It would make it a second finisher in dance
I’m fairly sure
If apex was big on it
You’d force it
Assuming the premed thing wasnt fixed too yes
maybe pool for a long time before dances
then dance>strike>sectec
Potentially, yeah - either way I doubt they’d want to create complex use cases/optimisations for sectec
prob not
I suspect they’re happy with how it’s landed - or maybe they don’t like the apex forcing generators at full cp
it would make sub more interesting if you played around danse
hey guys is sub decent in the current raid? 😃
I would say so
^
!trinket
okay I swear there was a command that explained some kinda guideon minmax
Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - Use your second Shadow Dance during Shadowblades with a delay. Means with roughly 2 seconds of the cooldown on Secret technique reminding.
Why? - The extra haste and Blades duration allow the use of a second supercharged Secret Technique.
i dont think i understand that
Just make it do what it used to do
why not send shadow dance and sq same time with macro?
why we send dance 2 seconds earlier
And you’d always dance storm evis strike sectech
Because then more of the dance is gonna be outside of blades
ah so we use seq tech on the 2nd bonus cp from dance
Ngl old Danse macabre with kyrian echoing was kinda sick
and we send a evis or coup on 1st ?
Yes
kay got it ty
You enter yhe dance at full cp 2 seconds before sectech cooldown is done
so what I've been doing is pressing my 2nd dance in blades when my sectech in on 8 seconds cd so it's my last global in my 2nd dance, and in that way my 2nd dance is fully within shadow blades, I guess that's suboptimal???
!guidon
Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - Use your second Shadow Dance during Shadowblades with a delay. Means with roughly 2 seconds of the cooldown on Secret technique reminding.
Why? - The extra haste and Blades duration allow the use of a second supercharged Secret Technique.
appears so because then you dont get a supercharged ST
surely 6 seconds of sb in dance is more damage than a supercharege bonus on ST
Not only that, you want dance up for unseen blades and coup that follow ST
its not otherwise the sims would say that
Well its not 6 seconds youre missing out on
Thats why youre supercharging sectech second
wait let me log in and look at it exactly
Well yeah, thats why the recommendation is specifically only with guidon
Well it should also be with lust
Yeah with lust its fine even without
u dont move the second dance without guidon?
So when do you use the second dance
well
We dont have the haste to do that yet tbh
Without guidon
Maybe with low enough sectec cd we will
without its then back to back still>?
Anytime during blades really, but probably best back to back
Except during BL ig, then you still want to supercharge sectech
But thats usually happening anyway by back to backing
I mean
I wish I knew how to fuck with sims I'm positive what I've been doing is more damage
So you don’t delay till 2 seconds left on sectech even though you would get it in during blades and dance?
so also m+ i guess where u dont run guidon but puzzlebox
im kinda like
the "rogue forever mid" train kinda sucks to be on
but this is also one of the easiest specs to play ive ever experienced so im kinda like eh w/e
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I like that
Tbf we were good last tier
Idk if rogue is forever mid
idk holding even without guidon did line up well but i guess its a dps loss
with puzzle am i waiting the 30 secs for blades or do i just pop blades on cd and puzzle on cd
I don't get guidon yet, so I'm running puzzle like 3 minutes trinket and is so pump
so in reality we are holding the second dance for like 5-6 seconds?
or am i trippin out
You just send box on every 2nd blades. Holding blades for box and using both on 2m is a small loss
@hazy breach so troughtout a dungeon u basicaly alwalys hold for 10 sec till blades is up again - do the lost stecs not matter?
pins but pretend its 3 min cd
What
Or you dont, depends
on?
If pull is healthy and you wanna send blades
Hold
If it’s deadge
Send dance, hold blades for next pull
Idk why hold if the pack is gonna be dead anyway by the time its ready
oh i know what u mean
sending dance and stec and then full on next pack with blades
blades is 14s
dance/sec tech is 20s rotations
so you basically just need to look at the pack and decide if you hold or not
Blades is 16 seconds, but tierset makes it 20
oh and I take it that this is regardless of which hero talent you play? it's categoized weirdly in #subtlety-faq
thank you king
ngl I much prefered all the little annoying minmaxes we had in the past over this use builder at full cp bs
but now that I got guidon and tier it doesn't play too bad
I personally despite the insanely tight dance windows
Where if the tank moves like 1 meter and you lose 0.2s of uptime you lose a global and get fucked
eleem thoughts on my question above ❤️
Is there any way to use Light Company Guidon properly without hitting an additional button?
100% I liked the more methodical pace of the spec over this forced haste scaling bullshit
/cast Shadow Blades
/use Light company guidon
/cast Shadow Dance
/use Light's Potential
Get some more haste, its answered in the FAQ too
yeahhh it's ass
Not without using it suboptimally no
#subtlety-faq message
This is not good
I was to understand if you do this the haste won’t be calculated into your dance
!macro
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.
Correct
You cannot macro it with dance
guidon isn't a good trinket for m+?
It is
Better than puzzle?
Its slightly worse than puzzlebox on huge pulls, but significantly better on low target counts
are u running guidon and gaze in m+?
if you're lucky to get both KEKW
yeah i tought about typing *if u had it
based
nice
So like, i wouldnt really say either is "better", its just dependant on what you want
prob less ass to play than puzzle
I don't have guidon yet, but I'm seeing so many rogues using puzzle+gaze
fuck puzzle all my homies HATE puzzle
idk mybe they domt have it - im also runing puzzle bcs i sont have either
and the crit trinket
The drums with mastery are also good
no clue if that one is even good it just simmed well
I'm cooking deviously
but sims seem w.e anyway with the haste stuff?
(my guild won't give me gaze cos I'm not a warlock/sp)
Had some 99 parses with guidon trinket in my sb/dance macro already but I gotta change it I suppose… I’m thinking it would be relatively safe to just put the guidon onto shadow strike opener?
ah i got that alleria one too
grey parser loot
blizz wants me to impr my damage but i bring shame to guild
Genuinely you should probably use the void renown trinket instead of the ranger one
Even if its 276
Yes
fck
Its better than anything you can get on hero track besides gaze and plume
damn
Or well, equal to some max upgraded ones like the skyreach one
for either content?
idk sim told me to use this combo, it doesn't feel ass and I never find it within 20 seonds of my cds, but maybe I'm trolling? idk
I'll re-sim with new gear just to check
o ney....
Yeah if it was 276 its an insanely minor difference
But you couldve spent crests elsewhere ig
nahhh fucking renown trinket better than a fully upgraded end heroic boss trinket is crazy design who fucking let this shit go live
I don't feel bad about 40 hero crests going this or that way they're legit worthless after this week for me
but yeah this is ass lmfao
Someone is using haste flask? I'm trying reach 700 haste, but without flask seems Impossible with my gear
How’s it va the withered saptor Paw?
Vs
I swear that trinket is quite good at hero
what about solarflame prism? seen it a couple of times and simmed pretty well?
I think paw is also among those that are like equal
But i havent looked that much into it as it has passive haste
And thats annoying for comparisons

oh my bad i forgott where i got it from
If I have room in blades window for another sectec do I send or save for dance after?
Fair, last I simmed it none of the m+ trunks were competing, it was weaker than gaze and plume tho
(Passive trinks)
Fwiw the drum with mastery is very solid in aoe
I would recommend you use topgear instead of gear compare, it does the same thing but is easier to use and less prone to mistakes 
is hungering victory actually our bis dagger? no better statted from dun's?
guys any hot tips for starting chim prog
don't be in group 1
don't use a puzzle box
play pvp in intermission
i uploaded my vod if you want
cheap shot and kidney goated on that fight its crazy
useful rogue util!
i do have guidon
is this the rogue utility blizzard intended for us?
maybe chimerus was a fight designed for rogue
And the second rogue can bring numbing!
grip into 8 second stun

should have cold blooded the cheap

ok i got swapped to grp 2
with crucible can u just insta upgrade it to all the 3 thingies?
is there any point in going down with each group on mythic? 🤔
@hazy breach uhh you’re right. I was comparing them at 276. I gotta delete that post
Oof
Usually use top gear but I’m not home to use the full simc code
wtf why on my rogue man :I
is raidbots trolling saying guidon is worse than eye of drowning void (ofc its better) but wondering how cooked raidbots sim is in general
i had one of these on vet
it was like 25-30% uptime
Di you do a Dungeonslice sim ?
group 1 felt fine am i high
yea
is dungeon slice bad for sub sim now?
i can usually send my main cds into boss then have a sectech for add set
Guidon is meh in dungeon
are you using guidon?
no

you think i have good rng?
are people running double acuity on weps and not acuity mast
I can usually sectech coup
maybe not this reset when people get more gear

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
guidon is def not bis for overall in M+ but having it for every blades is great and then the boss numbers are really good so ive been rocking it
is there any proc tracker for Coupe ?
do yall like sub for pve?
Yes.
anyone have any opinions on TFD vs finality in keys?
i run both.
droptimizer is putting the eternal voidsong chain really bad for me. Is the proc not good?
a heavy crit neck is showing way way better
what are the chances sub gets another 3-5% tuning pass
prob has more to do with your haste stat vs the bonuses from crit
if you add in a crit/mastery heavy ring or something and resim it would prob give different results
.
don't hold your breath (other rogue specs are also garbage atm)
Should I be able to always fit 2 sec tec in 1 blades regardless of circumstances or only with bl, first dance etc? Seems to be unreliable for me
pretty sure it's only with lust if you don't have guidon
gzgzgzgz
any seers?
dude
some guy in our raid
got warbound heroic alnseer
that's nuts
btw i fucked my parse
doing boss dmg

but we wouldn't hve killed without it
we need that as an emote in ravenholdt
u pug this? lol
nah my guild
massive
Imagine playing the game instead of spending >60 minutes trying to get invited to keys
Should we prioritize haste untill we get 18-20% before mastery?
270 ilvl xd u guys get rly lucky...
ive done 60 or so and same 271 ilvl
yeah we are at 59

i could send more crests but atp ill just wait for vault
i already griefed some crests so :p gg
i crafted a heroic waist by mistake
thankfully i get loot despite being a rogue because i play decently
actual monkey brain moment
i upgraded heroic dagger drop
gg griefed yourself
monkey brain moment too
i chose not to cuz what if i get a mythic dagger
better just make a new rogue
there could be anything inthe vault
nah big mistake
you craft 285 week 1
i didnt upg my craft dagger i upgraded the heroic drop kek
to lock in your parses early
it could be 3 completely awful mythic trinkets
and then mythic dagger dropped 1st weekl too kekw
oh i did but my parses were still shit
gg 80 crest s

thanks to every fight being hectic add cleave
my reward for full fucking the boss
cant wait to play deathstalker on vorasius!
how many heroic/mythic crests do we get next week
do not do it
stand strong
deathstalker better tbh

I finally will have enough crests for myth track weapon upgrade tomorrow. On the off chance of getting a myth dagger in vault should I wait to retract?
i mean if it's this late into the week you may as well wait
unless youre raiding
muh private logs
I am not. Mostly a heroic pug here or there to try and get raid trinkets
private logs are cringe and not pogchamp
just save then
i might even play law on paladins too
Also did I miss a memo why is everyone panda
i might end up sandbagging my dagger craft until alleria prog
double feast buff strong
back to yellow name
never before seen levels of sandbagging
back home
anyone have an idea why top gear is trying to send my haste from 690 to 750 ish? its also adding vers in there as well when according to my stat weights, mas and crit are both weighted higher than haste and vers
Are you using M+ talents
i sat myself for dragons
no its the raid cleave build
How do u check that
Never trust a clanker
wowprogress
how many seconds does light company guidon give u, if ur @ a perfect world of haste already
having to cast puzzle box is tilting me i need a new trinket 
bring a rogue to vanguard he says
He just said bring a rogue even though they do absolutely zero cleave damage! Ha!
