Do a nice deed for the day. Bring a rogue.

lucid jackal
#

Bro its so over

#

why is the biggest wow content creator telling ppl rogue is fine

#

Its sooooo bad rn in raid

#

I'm on the bench man

#

I'm so bored

#

I just wanna raid

strange chasm
#

It'll be good for the last 2 bosses lol

#

Surely

lucid jackal
#

Yeah man its not gonna be a 15 hunter fight

#

Not like every other boss

strange chasm
#

Just a go next angle if it is

warm marlin
#

6 prio mobs 6 hunters marks

lucid jackal
#

MM hunter just has
The best raid buff
The best ST
The best burst
The best Cleave
The best burst AoE

warm marlin
#

and then got sat immediately

#

but we went out with a bang

strange chasm
#

Surely surely rogue will get some love

lucid jackal
#

I like how they both made HUnters mark the best raid buff

#

and then also made every raid boss this raid 3 targets

#

so u need to play 3 hunters

#

to apply mark to each boss

#

Like?????????????????????????

strange chasm
#

It is funny Max says rogue is good but then they don't bring one and he brings up poison not working and the cleave being shit

lucid jackal
#

can we blow up hunters? how the fuck is hunters mark so OP

#

Why did they do this

lucid jackal

rare quest
#

is wound poison ever worth using in M+ dungeons over instant poison?

lucid jackal
#

Sometimes

strange chasm
#

Dw blizz going to give marks a 2% nerf

#

And nothing for rogue

rare quest
lucid jackal
#

Wound Poison is good on nexus point bridge

rare quest
#

didn't notice a huge difference either way

#

thanks

#

is nexus point bridge the only place you are really using it?

lucid jackal
#

I cant think of any other heals honestly

#

But there might be some

rare quest
#

awesome thanks. I figured I'd try out rogue this xpac since my guild has too many healers and we can never find rogues so I'm still figuring out when to use my utility

lucid jackal
#

Its a fair question

#

Rogue has a lot of shit in its toolkit

BiS sheet for sub anywhere ?

do we use blackpowder at 2 or more targets, or, 3 or more? there seems to be a discrepancy between the guide in here and wowhead

cosmic prairie
#

ok

wild vine
#

Kinda knew we would be in that trinket situation for atleast one type of content

cosmic prairie
#

im at imperator rn trying to be rid of this trinket

#

hopefully someone sells it to me for like 100kj

wild vine
#

You'd still use puzzle box in m+

cosmic prairie
gilded lodge
#

Naw, just pump the boss/low target count pulls with guidon 🙂

cosmic prairie
#

like 1% or 10%

gilded lodge
#

It’s better for overall, especially if there’s big pulls

wild vine
#

But pulls get huge rn

#

So its probably more than it sims for on dslice or like 5t

cosmic prairie
#

ya i crank on my all cd pulls

#

but, icl casting ts is not worth it

#

im like in the middle of first boss pit

#

casting a 2s channel

wild vine
#

Imo its not as bad in m+ as it is in raid

cosmic prairie
#

i just had to PRE-CAST

#

for that boss

#

ya nah

#

ill take the loss

fossil forge
#

Guidon sucks for m+

#

Puzzlebox gaming

warm marlin
#

we not that good to kill vanguard this week

high grotto
#

with apex talent optimisation, if we have one supercharged and double ss to proc and then go into darkest night, do we double ss again if its needed? seems like it would be a dps loss but probs wrong

wild vine
#

Ye

ornate lake
#

Gamers how do i get rid of this bloatware in details? I don't need this much info, and also want to merge physical and shadow components of some spells

high grotto
#

what do you do if you SS and dont proc apex

wild vine
wicked joltBOT
#

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).
wild vine
#

Thats what the shadow technique stacks are for

high grotto
#

i mean if u dont have enough ST stacks do you just wait to have enough before using ss?

wild vine
#

Its a prerequisite if you should do it

#

You always want to get all your gcds covered in dance

high grotto
#

oh wait i misread it lmao

#

yeah nvm

#

im actually braindead

weary tree
#

Gotta be honest. Mythic vanguard sub rogue isn't that terrible

raw bluff
#

Is that Apex talent optimization only ST or is it also for AoE situations (say your average M+ pull)?

wild vine
#

It plays like shit

#

On that fight, no matter what difficulty

weary tree
#

Eh the positioning is hard

#

But I expected worse when I played it

grave trout
#

Hey ,
new rogue here.
Do you build 14 Combo point before pulling on Raid ?

dense mountain
#

but getting 2 is good

grave trout
#

no

#

i hink you keep it

wild vine
#

No

#

You dont

sharp shell
#

no just 2

grave trout
#

in mm+ yes

sharp shell
#

m+ also just 2

grave trout
#

i will take a video i m 85% sure

keen dome
#

It'll always reset to 2 on key start or boss pull.

dire timber
#

Hi guys. I'm confused. Do I use the second Dance in the middle of the Shadow Blade window or near the end of blades?

weary tree
void ocean
#

!up

grave trout
#

so i m in front off the boss

#

i will pull and take a screenshoot

#

i m 85% sure i will keep it

dense mountain
sharp shell
sharp shell
#

85% wrong still 15% right tho

shadow mist
#

Hey quick question,when out of dance are you just focused on building cp and waiting for next window or are you spending cp too?

grave trout
#

yes

#

but you need to have full combo point before shadowdance / secret technique up

void ocean
#

where r we in terms of pvp trinket this season

grave trout
#

you need to have 1.3 shadowdance + secret technique up before bursting with shadow blades + trinket mastery

fair vessel
#

What’s the trick to keeping up with all the warlocks in m+

shadow mist
alpine wraith
#

you wont really keep up with wlocks

#

but at least be glad you are in a key

#

that means somehow you got invited

keen dome
#

Make them do a Bear Incident.

grave trout
alpine wraith
#

true make them go bearing

keen dome
#

"Hey, hey, Imp? I'll give you 5 gold if you go pull that pack in the corner. Off you go."

#

"Ah damn guys we wiped. oh, warlock you don't have cooldowns now? Ah well, too bad."

fair vessel
#

Warlock has cooldowns?

keen dome
#

I dunno, I'm just shitposting

grave trout
keen dome
#

My knowledge of Warlock is cool demons + they don't do the one thing I invite them to my raid to do

fair vessel
#

I also love ignoring everything I should be doing. Maybe we have a lot in common

Trying desperately to get the Warlock to put down a summon closet for 5 minutes using every form of comunication known to man.

Should i take hero tset head piece or Champion alleria shadow dmg neck 🤔🤔

cosmic prairie
#

when it says shadow clones have a 100% chance to trigger SHadow Techniques' effect; what does that mean exactly? all shadow clones just generate 1 stored combo point?

#

cause they cant really refill our combo points if we're already at max

tribal blade

World of Warcraft Forums

The current state of rogue in raid is so down horrendous the race to world first teams are benching all of them. And yet we continue to receive either tuning that does almost nothing or are ignored entirely. Sub rogue went into the tier getting its aoe and cleave nerfed, the latter being confusing because rogue was already struggling on cleave....

#

hit this with a like if you can

#

help it get more traction

tribal blade
weary tree
#

I do hate that shroud is just completely pointless now

#

It used to be so nice to be able to skip mobs

#

Then people got sad because only rogues could do it so they gave invis pots and priests their crap

tribal blade
#

it is usable in keys sometimes

weary tree
#

Then it still wasnt enough so now everyone has true sight

tall girder
#

prophet my goat

tribal blade
#

but it's not nearly as useful as you would think

weary tree
#

I only shroud so that my tank can pull in a raid so that the melee's wont die to insta hits

keen dome
#

Haha

#

Nice

#

But ye, shroud being a sitrctly inferior tool to soothe et al sucks.

#

I guess there is a balance because it's either extremely strong or extremely useless but it should work by the same rules.

weary tree
#

It's funny how being stealth is worse than soothe

tribal blade
#

it's classic thing with rogue

keen dome
#

If a mob can detect, it shouldn't be soothable

tribal blade
#

what we have is deemed OP

#

then given to other classes in a more broken form

keen dome
tribal blade
weary tree
#

And me?? besad

tribal blade
#

and you 😉

weary tree
#

❤️

keen dome
#

From Blizz's perspective, I can see it. Shroud is just a design nightmare. If you don't add detection to mobs then a Rogue can sneak through the entire dungeon but if you do, game over. Like, how do you balance that effectively without either making it useless or extremely strong?

#

But I would simply say: change how it works. It doesn't work in todays game. Soothe does. Maybe look at that, Blizz. Hey, we have this button called Distraction.. What if.. Soothe??

lucid jackal
#

It shouldnt be a game deisgn nightmare

#

You have mindsoothe

#

Mindsoothe was, and still is, 10x better than shroud ever was

#

Its still just better than shroud

tribal blade
#

if they want to keep shroud like it is being niche useful, then they should give rogue some other form of utility

lucid jackal
#

Why is mind soothe in the game as good as it is, even in its mega nerfed form

#

Just let shroud be something

keen dome
#

Because detection mobs.

tribal blade
lucid jackal
#

You mean every season until they nerfed it?

tribal blade
#

DF S2,3,4

#

was crazy

keen dome
#

If mobs with detection couldn't be soothed then it'd effectively be the same.

tribal blade
#

lol yeah

weary tree
#

But blizzard likes priests

keen dome
#

do they

#

do they

weary tree
#

More than rogues looks like

keen dome
#

Yeah that's fair

fossil forge
#

Nah but we complain every szn that shroud sux

#

now it doesnt even give speed..

tribal blade
#

the main issue is rogue doesn't bring a good raid buff

wind cosmos
#

Guys im thinking about playing sub but idk if its a good idea

tribal blade
#

the easiest fix would be slapping +3% crit or w/e on rogue

#

and keeping atrophic/numbing

#

then rogue is suddenly much more desirable in both raid and keys

#

with a dmg raid buff you would have likely seen a rogue played on this tier of RWF

fossil forge
#

Rogue would be a must have with 3% crit buff + poisons

#

no?

tribal blade
#

well think about every single raid buff class

#

is must have

fossil forge
#

You might be onto something unc

tribal blade
#

also don't some classes bring other forms of buffs besides their raid buff

#

classically priest brings both fort and PI

#

and mass dispel

#

therefore mandatory raid spot

#

and they just buffed hunters mark to make it better and more desirable to bring iirc

foggy estuary
#

We need a mass cc like kidney shot upgraded with stealth/clones to mass kidney everyone with shadowclones 🥷

tribal blade
#

i think aoe kidney with reduced duration on secondary targets would be good

#

replace aoe blind with that

foggy estuary
#

Adds to the class shadowclone theme as well🤷‍♂️

tribal blade
#

(don't even have move speed shroud anymore)

foggy estuary
#

10/10 class fantasy great design

tribal blade
#

i will say rogue is feeling moderately useful in skyreach because you can ST stun adds on 3rd and last boss

#

but it's not like other classes can't just cover that by alternating what they have

#

instead of rogue just soloing it

olive canyon
#

We live in hope for tuning tonight

fallow ingot
#

for what lol

tribal blade
olive canyon
#

We are unlikely to get any meaningful changes to talents or playstyle any time soon

tribal blade
#

that we will continue to keep having unless blizz makes more significant changes

atomic bobcat
#

that deeper problem exists for long time, they avoid it

olive canyon
#

That is evident by the state of the talent tree

tribal blade
#

yeah that's why i made the post

olive canyon
#

i posted on your post

tribal blade
#

maybe if we raise a big enough stink they can't just keep ignoring it

#

it does actually work

atomic bobcat
#

closing rogue discord like the rets did

olive canyon
#

The class is being memed on by both RWF guilds and on their streams constantly

tribal blade
#

because it's not a good look for them to leave things in a state where a lot of people are upset

olive canyon
#

so they do know there is an issue, seems like they dont care or simply dont know how to fix it

tribal blade
#

problem is as rogues we have a tiny playerbase

olive canyon
#

or dont have the time to do so at this point

humble rover
#

do we go 2 acuity enchants or do we go 1 mastery?

alpine wraith

both are fine

which spec is better now for m+?

is the ring set from nexus worth anything

i see it did not make it to bis list on wowhead

For me at least

opal basalt

do we know if a bow hunter with 266+ ilvl bow can trade daggers with surv lootspec?

alpine wraith

no it has to be daggers iirc

silent dune
#

since box and shadow blades are awkwardly aligned do you just tank not having box on ur second blade and save it for the third one?

olive canyon
#

yeh

#

treat it as a 3m cd

kk ty

cosmic prairie
#

we need like 33% haste for infinite shadow dance Deaded

oblique grove
#

sub rogue in my raid is using a mace off hand

#

is that real

heady gulch
#

infinite dance = infinite energy = still not enough dps

upbeat cradle
oblique grove
#

so it is stupid right

#

and im not missing something

upbeat cradle
#

Yes

oblique grove
#

its the mastery haste mace from dragons or whatever

upbeat cradle
#

He'll have less combo points by doing that

frank hemlock
wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

sullen bridge
#

does emberwing feather sim good for anyone here? I have it but it sims pretty poorly vs all my other passive trinkets 🙁

slate matrix
#

Hey guys I was wondering if at some point today one of you who’s a lot more knowledgeable about rogue than me would help me out and check my logs to see what I’m doing wrong and point me in the right direction. If you are willing to help feel free to message and I’ll send log a bit later today

torn cedar
#

is m+ do i still stick to the dance with sectec only or do i just send them back to back as long as the pack lives?

night sparrow
#

just test it and you'll get the feeling

tepid steppe
#

Have there been haste updates to simc? Used to make me go below recommended haste rating now it's shooting way up high the recommended 700

tribal blade
#

depending on what combo of gear/enchants/gems you're simming it may want to drop or add haste

sullen bridge
mighty citrus
#

i have pretty decent gear and haste was fucking around as well

#

robot says no to the haste "threshold"

tepid steppe
#

Yeah I don't know what's going on, but whatever I'm just going to follow simc, I'm too old to be thinking about it too much lol. Going to drive me crazy

#

I want to just sim and forget and not worry about manually doing haste ratings in game manually

mighty citrus
#

personally i just go with 700 and the build up the rest around it

#

doing this by switching gems

#

etc

#

this might be full fail, but as you said

#

too old

#

i dont minmax sims if i cant minmax my actual play 😄

tepid steppe
#

I'm just a filthy casual

sullen bridge
#

but where does the 700 come from? Isnt that value also from sims?

mighty citrus
#

!haste

wicked joltBOT
#

Secret Technique cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dance only from haste which increases your baseline haste. When using a haste trinket, make sure to use it before Shadow Dance to get the extended duraiton.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.

upbeat cradle
#

You can make a log thread and people would help

plush olive
#

I can't tell the timings properly but is there any world where we get 2 shadow dances in crown of cosmos intermissions to stack up supercharged points? First intermish is definitely just the 1 with blades coming back pretty soon after but not sure on 2nd

jade oasis
#

it takes into account that you’re human

#

the sims usually want like 600

void ocean

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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 WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

void ocean
#

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm

is this for st too?

#

btw someone asked today is AA optimization only for st and i didnt catch f anyone answered

#

or do we do the same fishing with storm in aoe

void ocean
#

also whats the verdict on the pvp trinket this season

hazy breach
#

ass

#

The passive one is fine if you need more haste but probably still not worth it over renown trinket

void ocean
#

whats a renown trinket

hazy breach
#

The trinket you get from renown 7 with voidstorm

lusty acorn
#

Rogue key 10 and above all class range above him

#

We need more bufd

#

Buff

void ocean
#

pardon my ignorance

hollow spear
mighty citrus
#

for me mplus as sub is fine as well. i do very good dmg competing with a lot of geared other classes. raid is the bigger concern for me persnally

tribal blade
#

if not worse because in a key you occupy 20% of a spot

fleet acorn
#

If ure lowest dps it’s a u Problem I always was top in any key I did

mighty citrus
#

and i was like uhm

silent dune
#

how certain are we that subtly will continue to be best spec for m+ because idk if I wanna do my second craft yet

mighty citrus
#

wait a second

tribal blade
fleet acorn
#

I didnt say it’s highest dps I just did myself highest I played with

tribal blade
#

for sure

#

but rogues do not have a spot in keys despite doing very good dps

silent dune
#

im seeing a lot of chinese subs on logs tho

#

in high keys

#

but

#

no one wants me in eu

#

L server

tribal blade
#

chinese doesn't really count

#

they do their own thing tbh

silent dune
#

dont count for what

boreal narwhal
#

I do find it funny that I sometimes see balance justifications for rogues being something like "If you do good in aoe, we'll have to nerf single target" etc, meanwhile other classes do just fine in both. In both m+ and raids

tribal blade
#

on all things

#

also representation in keys right now is gonna be not super accurate on the meta

silent dune
#

I mean they are demonstrating that rogue is doing well in high keys tho

tribal blade
#

for now yes

#

this has happened in many MANY seasons

#

where sub is dominating the first few weeks

#

trust

silent dune
#

are they gonna gut sub or what

tribal blade
#

no

#

but once the meta starts getting formed

#

unless sub is doing bonkers OP dps

#

there'll be 0 reason to bring a rogue

#

at all

#

when you can stack x4-5 raid buff classes

#

and do ~15% more dps than a non raid buff stacking comp

#

and have more utility

#

this isn't me dooming, it's just what happens every single season

silent dune
#

im specifically talking about key pushing tho

tribal blade
#

i am too

silent dune
#

oh right

#

I mean

#

ye idk

tribal blade
#

last season sub was very strong

#

didn't make it into the meta

#

the last few seasons too sub has in general started off very strong

silent dune
#

guess it depends just how high you are pushing because you can push pretty high with some off meta stuff

lusty acorn
#

We need buff

tribal blade
#

then peters off

tribal blade
#

but pushing as rogue is much harder

#

when it's like "i can bring this warr and buff all the melee by +5% or this rogue who brings nothing"

lusty acorn
#

Every range dps do high dmg than me every dungeon i know how to play rogue and my gear is great

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

Assa and outlaw sure

silent dune
#

rogue should just do more dps to balance this

hazy breach
#

Sub probably not

tribal blade
#

again i'm not dooming just to be crystal clear

#

it's just facts

silent dune
#

yeah I mean pugging as a rogue is so miserable

#

literally no one wants u unless ur banana broken

tribal blade
#

yup it's really bad

#

earlier me and my guildie arms warr just hit 3100

mighty citrus
#

if i would not have made almost 3k score first two days with my friends, i would now not even get into 10s probably 😄

tribal blade
#

we decided to sign up to 10 nexuses to try to get the ring set

#

we signed up for 10-20 keys

#

not a single invite

#

having 500-1000 more IO than the key holders

silent dune
#

ye I just have to wait for my healer and tank to come online lol

#

or post my own key

gentle temple
#

What we need is a raid spec able to do something in 2 3 4 target cleave I think right

silent dune
#

im sitting at 2.65k io with 263 ilvl and barely get invited to 10s

#

have to just post my own

tribal blade
#

yeah sad

silent dune
#

even tho I know my rotation better than the average pugger and I know I would damage mog 😔

tribal blade
#

i made some new friends title pushing during S2 TWW

#

and one time i signed up to a key they had

#

and they msged me back saying "hey sorry we're gonna take this feral for motw"

#

eternal pain and suffering

silent dune
#

lmao

#

ye I mean either give rogue a useful raid buff or just give it enough dps that it's worth bringing but puggers won't care about the latter option because it's less reliable than a guaranteed raid buff

tribal blade
#

raid buff would be best for sure

hollow spear
#

Sub was not doing the highest dps last season, but it was up there. Didn't make it meta.

tribal blade
#

the issue with 10s is they watch tier list videos and only think you can time keys with the absolute meta specs

hollow spear
#

We'd have to be broken dps wise to make it.

void ocean
#

i dont mind brutal dps as a mean to compensate

hollow spear
#

Like hunter was last season

tribal blade
#

when you can time weekly keys with any spec in the game

fair vessel
#

Just close the discord no?

hollow spear
tribal blade
#

sub might have been able to slide into the BM spot last season if they hadn't have gotten those hilarious additional buffs

#

from them sandbagging sims

hollow spear
#

Yep

#

BM was pretty useless

silent dune
#

I always take applicants based on io and ilvl or how braindead easy their rotation is so I know they are more likely to not do tank levels of dps

hollow spear
#

Besides cranking

tribal blade
#

or raid prog

radiant swift
tribal blade
#

you see a guy 5/9M you know they'll be good

silent dune
#

ye ofc

tribal blade

and the stats are good for sub

#

might not be worth if you have way too much crit or something

hollow spear
#

That set is omega haste

i better get that invite

im praying for tier shoulders from vault bc

maybe i should actually sim it lol

radiant swift

#

then i can cata helmet and not have to use those abhorrent legs

radiant swift
#

tried to sim but robot cant handle haste so it just keeps saying go crit

tribal blade
#

i'm at 25%

hollow spear
#

I don't even look at the non haste stats

radiant swift
#

id imagined it be a bit to high

hollow spear
#

I just do what the sim says

tribal blade
#

i think it's fine

silent dune
#

but ppl who are taking people for 10s based purely from meta are soooo low iq

#

soooooosososo low iq

radiant swift
#

mybe - but will be less soon have to still fix haste to 700

hollow spear
#

For me it's mastery schmastery, all the same

tribal blade
#

important thing is your play will dictate how well you do much more than a few % changes in stats

jade oasis
#

especially when 10s r free rn

hollow spear
#

Idk, there's just 500 applicants for your 10

tribal blade

i also got this today 🙂

This is probably the one time where rolling for loot is beneficial for you

tribal blade
#

was pretty funny

night sparrow
hollow spear
#

Because if it was master loot, you'd so not get it

tribal blade
#

i won the roll

radiant swift
night sparrow
#

Yup

tribal blade
#

you can adjust your gear to account for the stats on the rings

#

and they'll become good

Wait Rory are u my former rdrood from TWW ?

radiant swift
#

could recraft for other stats but the budget on them is low'ish

silent dune

I was a blood dk then frost dk and now rogue player

tribal blade
#

need to get whysper in here to give his spiel about stats lol

fair vessel
#

My friend literally refuses to invite any class that is not considered s tier. She refused to invite 3k rio havoc because the class is not good enough for weekly 10s

silent dune
#

shes just iq gapped happens

tribal blade
#

absolute trash

night sparrow
#

Btw is crafting my 285 belt already trolling ? Have champ 263 :< and already crafted weapon

silent dune
#

just a higher chance of bricking the key or being 10x slower but meta tho!! meta !!!!

tribal blade
#

we get another spark next week too

silent dune
#

but ppl who are over valuing meta in lower keys just probably have no completive experience or understanding gotta be a wow player thing or something

#

cuz if u take someone from any other comp game they understand that the player diff matters 10x more than meta diff in lower elo especially

tribal blade
#

most people who do weekly keys are very out of touch with how M+ actually works

#

it's part of the reason they're doing those keys lol

night sparrow
#

I'll prob craft it, at least ill be done with BiS crafts

silent dune
#

but do people not understand the concept that some players are performing their rotation to like 70% efficiency whereas some players are performing it closer to 90% and this factor matters 10x more than comparing classes both performing at 100%

tribal blade
#

i crafted boots because i got this from keys

fair vessel
#

I usually try to invite people playing off meta with big rio. Becuase you know these guys are cracked

#

Not you average frost mage

silent dune
#

u obvoiusly just take the player who has a higher chance of performing their class higher to the damage ceiling and even damage aside, dying to mechanics and how often they kick are also factors that higher ilvl/rio players are probably doing better

#

its literally all a probability game when accepting applicants

fossil forge
left ledge
#

Fwiw, rio isn’t an indicator of that

silent dune
#

u just take the high percentage

tribal blade
#

and that's their real score

left ledge
#

Higher rio means nothing most of the time

tribal blade
#

depends tbh

left ledge
#

Most of these people just bash their head into the wall until they time a dungeon

tribal blade
#

that i can't argue against lol

#

i'm one of those people

fossil forge
#

I think 100% of ppl do that

#

XD

silent dune
left ledge
#

I mean it’s just how m+ is

silent dune
#

its literally

#

a chance game

#

every time u accept an applicant ur taking a chance

#

and picking higher io/ilvl simply increases ur chance

tribal blade
#

M+ is a game of stamina and being able to suffer more than everybody else

silent dune
#

ofc u can still get fckd

left ledge
#

And early in the season it’s an even worse indicator

#

It’s just a toxicity scale this early

tribal blade
#

early season IO is bs i agree

silent dune
#

im not debating how strong or good of an indicator it is but simply that it is an objectively superior one than picking because of class

tribal blade
#

you see some higher IO people who are dogshit, then they get weeded out once key levels get high enough they can't hang

#

i've seen it happen a lot

left ledge
#

I never invite pug mages

#

No matter the io

tribal blade

fuck mages

#

Noob question. Is there a goal for crit? My ST dps is trash (49k or so at no tier 256 ilvl). Sims say I’m rocking the best gear I have. Looking at other higher rogue, I see they have a little less haste/mastery and a decent bit more crit. Their sectec damage is about 3k dps more with roughly same amount of casts. Their evis damage is also more for roughly same amount of casts.

tribal blade
#

it's not a bad habit, it's only bad if you're burning all your feint charges and then you can't feint an important upcoming mechanic

hazy breach

we don't really manage energy anymore

shadow mist
tepid trellis

think below 100k is not great

uncut hinge

I generally do 103-110k without 4pc but can be more in your range if the tank is pulling small

tribal blade
#

yeah if you don't have 4pc and gear isn't great it's gonna be tough

#

been in the 130-140kish range recently

#

can likely do more

shadow mist
#

I have a catalyst charge so I pray I get a tier piece from vault too and I’m good

tepid trellis

anywhere from 130k to 170k is what i usually do

tribal blade
#

keep meaning to trying using puzzlebox but i'm hesitant to try it

uncut hinge
#

i dont know because i havent played with it yet but 4 pc seems like its a world of difference in mplus with 2 sec techs in blades

tepid trellis

think puzzle is bait

tribal blade
#

haha cool

tepid trellis
#

its only slightly better on massive AoE

hazy breach
#

4p isnt massive no

2p is the massive one

i can keep vibing with guidon

and very very worse in lower targets

mmmm ok good to know

vs guidon you mean right?

tepid trellis

most recent sub key was me helping out an echo raider with a +10 AA and i did 151k

tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

i have yet to break the 150k overall mark

tepid trellis
#

also just feels way better to play guidon

hazy breach
#

Its also a bit of 90 vs 120

tepid trellis
#

highest ive done so far is now 175k

#

in pit

tribal blade
#

goddamn lol

#

madman

hazy breach
#

If routes end up being standardized around elemental 2 min cds for example

#

Then puzzle and pretending to be 2 min might end up better

#

But for just yoloing guidon probably the play

tribal blade
#

a lot of the time depending on how the tank pulled

#

it did feel like holding blades was quite often the play

tepid trellis
#

we just constantly pull big and chain

tribal blade
#

unless you wanted to just send it on a small pull to help get to the big pull faster and let the other 2 dps pop off

tepid trellis
#

so for me its just cd on cd

hazy breach

But also blades is quite weak now anyway, relative to previously

this Gaze trinket, we dont have to collect these, right, it just buffs us

i was around 90k boss dmg as DS

and like low 80s on trickster

i hit a 90k ST on a boss today

Idk maybe sim is cooked for deathstalker and missing stuff, but it seemed pretty close to my dummy experiences atleast

I can't think of a single raid fight where DS would help me parse better. Don't almost all fights have some cleave at some point?

Maybe Crown?

hey guys, is there a "cheat sheet" for m+ which mechanic can be mitigated by feint/evasion/cos?

The biggest cheat is meld/vanish targeted casts

so thats lower target count than most other dungeons

not that bad tbh

how do you guys go about using blades and dance in raid? M+ seems pretty straight forward just send it but do you wait for things to line up? like if sectec has a 8+ sec cd is it worth it to dance without it or just wait? and same with the blades, do you hold double dance for it ?

(with 4p)

U always wait for dance to sectec afaik

i have 755 crit 629 haste 610 mastery

yeah i know i need more mastery than crit but i cant have more atm

midnight vault

you need minimal 700 haste

nah with 620 you have 18%

and then you also get haste from oils

so you have enough for all gcds in dance

For example if you just readjust the stats

Dont want to end up at like 800 haste

you will not hit all your gcds at 620

sometimes i hit it with 17% aswell

#

but there i fail most of the time ofc

#

hm

#

alright thanks for the headsup then

warm marlin
#

if you proc coup it should be literally impossible at 620 to get all gcds in

#

maybe very slightly possible

#

well ig 587 is the literally possible

vale osprey
#

But yeah with trinkets I think I'm within 0.3-0.5% of BiS

#

Will try to my hands on the other ring too

warm marlin
#

but you have practically 0 room for error or world lag or whatever

#

that's spooky

frigid light
#

i really have no problems with hitting i am not making stuff up :D but if 684 makes it 100% so be it

#

ofc if you play mechanics or move abit its over but thats normal

#

i play with 80ms and 300 spellqueue

#

well with oils i am at 654 or smth

warm marlin
#

oh well ye you include oils

#

654 very playable if you're locked in

frigid light
#

629 wout oils

#

have you checked your logs to verify if you actually hit your globals?

hey im new to sub in midnight, used to play assa. i havent found a good explanation of when to use vanish in raid/m+?

anyone got any tips? or anything besides the wowhead i can read or watch?

frigid light
#

well its a matter of 0,3s or 0,4s margin isnt it?

#

with 18% vs 19%

warm marlin
#

coup eats an extra 0.2s

#

so 0.1s or 0.2s

hollow spear
#

you almost always get a coup during dance

vale osprey
#

Is there a way after a top gear sim to see how much flat value of each stat it outputs?

frigid light
#

so 0,1 0,2 ok

hollow spear
#

at 650 you have between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds
