!haste
Secret Technique cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dance only from haste which increases your baseline haste. When using a haste trinket, make sure to use it before Shadow Dance to get the extended duraiton.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.
how likely are sub buffs next tuning
cheers
Hmm I'm having a hard time squeezing that in.. need to buy a socket!
gearing seems like pain in the ass ngl
yeah just try it, see if you can comfortably hit 8 gcds in dance
And it's all for the low low price of getting gapped in all target counts
i just ended saron at 174k dps with hast flask (box trinket), my best was 140k with mastery flask
I do like the complexity though
what do you mean?
to balance the unequipped guidon, then being able to put easily the 2nd sectec during a blade
Yeah I know that but why droptimiser is not accurate?
I didn't understand the idea
because of that exact reason
if your gear is 700 haste any haste item will give no damage on droptimizer
IF you have less than that amount of haste it will overvalue haste items
there is no middle ground
besides manually doing it
but this is reality no?
"excuse me raid leader, big brain eleem says my droptimizer is inaccurate so this means you have to prio me on all drops going forward"
it's more that it's not useful

not that it's not accurate
I am thinking of raid droptimiser tbh
Droptimizer looks at your current gear and compares each single piece to tell you how big that item would be compared to your current stuff, right?
droptimizer changes every piece one by one and tells you the gain
It isn't doing cross comparison or combination comparisons
you can use the custom functions and slam the 650 or 700 thing
i forgot the syntax but maybe eleem knows
fuu posted it the other day
Sure but that also makes it not helpful
Yeah but let's say I have 700 haste (irrelevant cause all combinations will have the same) 500 mastery and 500 crit and then it will show that if I approach 600 mast 400 crit it's better
This is the idea of it no?
Yeah but it wont show you that a 289 haste item is better than your current 250 non-haste item
When it clearly is
Why is it?
??
because you can move haste around in other pieces
anyone now if its an addon too get like a spell overlay on ancient arts procc?
but instead you're stuck with them because it doesn't want to touch your 700 haste
Ah yeah ok
and take advantage of a high haste item
it isn't combinatory
yeah ok I understand but we are doing like max upgrades etc
so these cases are not realistic
but yeah I get the point
Like it showed the alleria neck as only a 136 dps increase. but by getting it i gained 3.5k dps from other slots i could get hero items in. but before i couldn't use due to the wrong stats
I mean that if an item is higher ilvl you equip it in most cases
So you are just trying to compare different combinations in similar levels
Droptimzier does not do combinations
yea alleria neck is also 0.2% for me kekw
Thats the entire thing weve been explaining
Yeah got it, interesting idea
@cosmic prairie I actually posted his logs over here, he is getting 70-80 parses, which isn't terrible, but I wonder how could he improve and move to 90-99s.
Are the guides generally the same or is one better than the other?
if i have 695 haste buffed but 1372 with guidons and the haste breakpoints are 684/1173/1696, is it better to be closer to the 1173 so im still getting extra casts in sb window but less in my other dances (due to dropping below 684) or have almost 200 wasted haste in blades but have guaranteed 2 extra globals in every non blades dance?
Second choice
but that damage reduction raid buff!!!
Losing to guarding druid on egg burn phase

Rogue is sat for the dagger boss that immunities have huge value on. 💀
lol it's just funny at this point
surely blizz does something now
and not just tuning
reeEEE
then also dps
delete goremaw add darkest dance
i like this cook
just all the damages
Its just a boss with 30s burst window
feint doesnt work for orb soaks psure
we arent best at CC anymore
not best at dmg
not best at
anything


isn't that what we do in here anyways
so we can parse better
omg guy new tech 900 haste!
better than most
actually can you get slammed by soak with cheat
can save so many pulls by using it
or nvm you get a dot
we will unlock the secret boss after midnight falls
that drops sylvanas dagger again
brrrr
cant get the sylv dagger when your on bench tho 
I just quickly glanced over some logs and saw the mitigated number at like 55% so i was like yeah feint works
Forgot the mechanic of the fight reduces it by 50%

How? You need to be in the roster...
Rude
!macros
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
i didn't believe this until i opened liquid stream
actually insane
fuck our dog shit class
lol yup
my RL is bullying me in our disc atm
saying he's gonna sit me on heroic

getting sat on laura inc
nah man we're 100% going to be taken on laura
our one niche of pvp lockdown finally comes in handy here
For shadow blades, is it best to have it macroed into dance or separate so we can hold if needed for burn phase/boss in M+?
there are 5 shards to cc or more who knows
we are donezo
you can kick one and blind another
currently progging h crown, how much does our damage matter in p1? Like can I cheese it by just blowing everything on the last dude and spiking to 250k?
no you talent short blind
it has less cd and it is ranged
in case glaives want to be fucky
if you look at the rank 1 parse vs your friend; the major difference are gear optimization (+6ilvl) (400 mastery point gap, your friend has way too much haste) more specifically BiS raid trinkets vs your friend who has pretty bad raid trinkets. this essentially amounts to him having less shadow dances (that are also significantly weaker due to his stat'ing) which is basically where all rogue damage comes from. that and he didn't pad parse with aoe in the ads enough, 14 casts of black powder vs 41
@oak grotto lmao no emberwing 
officer id like to report a crime
🤙 
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
more like subpar
More like subtracted from the roster
more like sub sandwich



Class is actually just fucking ass
outlaw tier 
I have Light company Guidon and i use that first and then using this macro
" /cast Shadow blades
/use Light's Potential
/cast Shadow dance
/cast Secret Technique"
Is there anything negative about this?
Everything
Looks ok to me
i like being in for prog haha
Perfect
already got sat a bit this tier but not stressing about it
!guidon
Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back.
Why? - This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.
No he isn’t
He said he’s using guidon first
Use guidon then use macro is how it should be
Just need to wait like 1 sec I think between them
Are these fine stats. I had to mess with gems/enchants
The only thing wich could come up is if you want to hold teh pot
Yea i'm doing that :)
Don’t know but if you have 684-700 haste you’re fine to build crit mastery
705
Just avoid vers when possible unless ilvl upgrade
Only vers is from offhand/tier helm
next content athropic poison will be really really good 
Yeah that’s fine then
It is recommended to macro your dance with sectec on trickster anyways
notice how they benched rogue, they all died
if they had atro poison, they wouldnt have died


!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i dont think anyone liked atro
Just gave us devo aura
Like wtf is that
3% crit buff-dream
crit dmg buff
Yeah people would love that shit
HAT my beloved
atro is a nerf actually it makes wiping slower
and there's typically a positive correlation between wipe counts and a kill
but before we get something, dh gehts BL, 3% crit buff and a grip, and if they press Darkness it will autoemote "lul fuck smokebomb".
basically a tank
And is basically required almost all the time
nah gate is so good
I played warlock in nerubar, I can't believe I went back to rogue after
I can’t believe that either
bro you're acutally cooked
No
hey guys, how much crit should be okay to run? deciding on items atm
Just use a diff button
im at 24% buffed
Don’t do cast sequence
Bro you have
2 buttons to press
For 90% of the fight
You can surely spare another 2 buttons for your cds
u want to double that :(
atleast m+ is pretty fun as sub
Until someone has hands
And shits on you in aoe and st
And aoe ccs mobs
And is ranged
Then you just sit there wondering why your class exists
Sub is genuinely good in m+, maybe not the absolute best spec
But its definitely good
No
massblind comes back
Yeah unfortunately that button can make or break a key
"blizz doesn't care about M+ tuning, only raid"
also- "blizz doesn't want to buff sub because it'll be too OP in keys"
Why the fuck is it on blind anyways
That shit was so stupid lol
They couldn’t just tune kidney a bit lower?
not sure what to do on the single target 13+ key bosses - dps is just abysmal
They smited that shit
idm it being on blind

just mind it being gone
The dps in st is actually okay ish on sub in keys if you have cds going in
But you just get dunked on large aoe and cleave
yes, but i feel ST is comparatively worse
Psure sub ST is curretly one of the best in keys
i haven't been playing with any big boys this season because i'm not really pushing
but sub's ST seems very good
in pure ST i tend to beat most people by quite a bit
if i don't int
What if Gloomblade gave us a passive increasing shadowstrike damage by a little along with that active
I really wanna use that talent
what is this? also aug evoker
Aug dps doesnt apply on logs (ig outside of prescience crit)
Its ST on garfrost in a 17 pit
i see
My floorpov goat
do i have to keep snd up with eviscerate or it's useless? (aoe)
you will naturally upkeep it doing the rotation
with coup
are there any rules about saving coup or when to send it
whats with mages and hunters just always holding lust until 5 seconds after youve dumped
With guidon and 705 haste is this how long Dance is supposed to look? This is with waiting for Guidon to activate the passive too
No lust*
can they PLEASE buff rogue
its kinda ridiculous that the 3 ranged pures are outdpsing the only melee pure
so if we take unveiled touch which increases our magic damage does that mean demon hunters magic damage increase buff affects us as well? fopr our magic damage?
question about secondary stats: I've seen many ppl with huge gaps between crit and haste, some with 200 haste and 900 crit, and others with well balanced stats between crit mastery and haste, does it really make a big difference in playstyle?
Yes our magical damage gets increased by DH
You always want either ~700 haste or ~200 haste, nothing in between
For raid you always want the 700, but sometimes in m+ if you want to prioritize big aoe at the cost of ST you can drop down to 200 and get more mastery instead
Id just recommend the 700 everywhere though
i think on my rogue im like just above 700 at like 722 or something like that atm
i think you can only play 200 haste if you run with a tank who pulls around you
i haven't played 200 haste before so i don't know what it's like on ST, but i can imagine it feels like. complete ass
im doing fine with 680
I think the play is to be at 700 baseline and then get mastery enchants/puzzlebox
loving the itemization i just know as i climb im gonna get more vers
For big m+
Because otherwise you end up ultra DRing your mastery
Like the secondary stat potion is good for aoe, but if you have puzzlebox then its not nearly as good anymore (in sims that is)
love the puzzle box gives big dopamine

were you pressing BP
you should only ever be pressing strike and evis on the big adds during P1
yeah I do
ah ok
I end p1 usually just under 200k
then it slowly falls to around 80-90 by the end
fucking green parse
its so over
im quitting
went from average 95.8 down to 87
Rogue do low damage (盗贼伤害垃圾). same parse as arms war (评分红色,和武器战一样). Bring shame to guild (公会之耻). M+ instant decline (大秘秒拒). I stand in city
what is ur guys expierence on holding small cds or even blades for multiple targets? is it always worth if ill be having more than 1target? for instance intermission on char where it takes a couple of seconds until the fear mobs get to the big one
basicaly waiting 3 sec not hitting to hit 2 mobs
I mean theres no right answer, sometimes you should use it immediately to get it on cd, sometimes hold to pad on the adds
Sometimes the adds doesnt matter
what do u base it on ? whats your go to

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hey guys mind if I do a lil stat check in with you's? I think my stats are fucked
(I know the haste is low I use a haste pot atm)
but I think I need less crit and more mastery
do we use shuriken strike even with 2 targets outside of dance?
Yeah if you had 12.5 more mastery you’d be able to parse oranges instead of blues
yeah thats way too much crit lol
you way too low on mastery
but also haste
this is what im running rn
Yes, Except in SD windows
I also sim for some reason it doesnt get me to 18% haste
is this haste too low to raid with?
gotcha
mind sending me your armory/gearlist?
im just wingin it lol
fairs lol
too early to care about bis for me
also is that without pots and stuff?
fair
is therre a reason why we dont use acuity of the ren'dorei on both weapons in wowhead ?
I suppose the buff cant overlap and we lose some ?
ok ! thanks
it's a good thing tbh
the more rogue gets benched
the more visible the issue is
sucks for exile for sure
but can maybe be the catalyst for change
They cant ignore an entire class
^
Spec is one thing
if it were just a spec maybe
ye
but it highlights the whole class' utility kit
and available dmg profiles
and tuning too ig

Marsh said buffs tommorow, and Andrew T would never make a fake take to ragebait
o7 salute the fallen
He makes crazy tierlists after all 8)
Honest question, been running sub again in raid and i wanted to know a better way to increase my parse
pad wherever you can
I guess if we’re being optimistic, we get some buffs post rwf and then maybe utility changes in 12.1
;
idk eleem pointed out earlier that there's a history of blizz doing stuff about it
but we'll see ig
getting memed on has been fun though
on multiple big streams
hey yall quick question, I have a weapon crafted and a waist crafted, I can craft a 3rd piece, what should it be?
Best to sim but some rule of thumb is choose a piece you think you wont be getting on myth track soon or poor ilvl
sadge
Kinda poetic haha
This is why I crafted my Neck
Its not really that cool unfortunately
the concept of a damage proc
But yes if you can get the mythic neck from alleria then you probably shouldnt craft a neck

Survival angle
Would just the heroic one maxed not be better and a crafted slot in someplace else?

I am not getting one soon for sure, and unfortunately this neck is bis for a bunch of classes and rogue isnt in good shape rn
The proc is doing like 0.3-0.4% on ST
O. O
So its not nothing, but its not something to write home about
Its worse than a ring set whaa
Thats unfortunate. But i guess a neck is a fair craft
Surely L'ura is a rogue boss
Neck from pvp quest is good too, mastery heavy with some haste

But its only hc
We're just at the pray for buffs stage...doomin at all time high

Just have the shit high crit/haste neck on 279 in vault and utter garbage in m+ slots
its not that shit for now
Free neck upgrades 
from a bricked 16 MT, can finally see true sub dmg with real pulls
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/26aQxkHdywhJTrA3?fight=58&type=damage-done am i just ass on paladins, this is a better dps log i guess 
yall ever experience a bug where if someone recommends you to get invited it just blocks your ability to get invites
this is the rogue niche of pvp
we can stun lock one of the adds
🙂
im at 170k at that timepoint
assa is probably better fwiw if you prefer
im just dog 
and i dont play assa no
i just dont get what im doing wrong 
are we actually using evis on 2 targets over BP?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
nothing changed with Guidon did it like today? was waiting, but didn't seem to let me fit my second sectec
no
masterymaxx storm on 3 targets try your best to do any remote damage
i am still last btw by a lot
Youre doing no damage anyway so might aswell play sub over assa and be slightly more tanky so you dont drop your raid buff

i am also top damage taken
this is not a good rogue fight
Understatement
yeah, weird can't get two sectecs in the opener tonight, huh
Well youre using blades like 1.5s before casting any abilities
You could use blades close to your sectech+dance and youd fit it in no problem
alleria might be the worst melee fight ive ever done
holy shit
im about to have 70% uptime
puddle drop in blades gg
obelisk in dance gg
its time for shuriken toss rogue
Hows the no dk strat ive heard whispers of
lol on the alt run
2 dks :-)
you get any mechanic and you lose infinite damage
they have their vaunted internal testing team
which alt run tho 
devourer
we unironically dopped 2 mythic trinkets our first kill 
still using Guidon at 8s left in blades?
are yall holding blades for saladbar amps or just sending when up
3rd and 4th blades seem to come up quite a bit before the amp
Bleed max time bud
its like 25% or something but idk if i get an extra blades
stupid question. Do you cast shadow blades first and then shadow dance? Or shadow dance, shadow blades?
Doesn't matter
it shouldnt matter
As long as both are cast before sectech
But ideally you should have dance+sectech macroed
I have dance + secteq macroed. Ty!
chat we did it.
any thing coming for rogues next patches?
whats the command for the sim spreadsheet again?
we just killed
and i died to rot
through dance and feint
🙂
in 3 target cleave wouldnt shadowstrike be better than shuriken storm. or is there something im missing
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
What dam did u end on
Is the sub experiment cooked
As it the way of the rogue
well i died
is leech or avoidance better for enchants
130.6
you killed alleria??
OH
I like leech more
Cuz feint is so good
at avoidance based damage taken
who
why would you take a rogue to a dps check fight?
30 sec burst maybe
if only we had burst
hell yeah brother
Rogue is bad so why would it be played lole
new tweet when?
much lower than what other classes can do
well, this is a fact
Is there a log review channel?
they was taking only cause the dmg reduction, but they replaced
use !log
!log
aside from mm hunter what class has more burst than us
that isnt basically afk after their 1.5min-2min cd
alreayd did my tweet
our burst isnt that good anymore
u think those all beat sub burst + aren't under sub in aoe outside of their big cd burst ?
Does udk count
Udk is literally all burst and be a tank otherwise
ya our box/sb/double+triple dance window is crazy
udk is literally afk after their cd
Yes and the only thing that matters on beloran is egg damage
?
does udk have more burst than sub if it only has burst?
well yes
that used to be sub then blizz decided sub cant have arms or legs
i mean i asked the full question and u just named ev dps for their cd and not the rest of the question
i dont think most of those beat sub full picture
why not?
ww , frost MAYBE
Heres what U gotta keep in mind
This is a 1-2 melee tier
The only fight u want 3 melee on is alleria, and 2 of those are DKs, because they have grip
ranged DPS are overtuned beyond fuck
So the question in raid rn is "HOw little melee can we run, and can we add another hunter, mage, evoker, devourer"
idk we talk down our damage profile a lot but in ev key i see one of the top rogues do they are either top or slivers behind
Keys are not raid
Maybe i missed the memo but the context was 30 second burst on beloran egg so its a raid centric comparison between classes in which many do more than sub atp
THIS HAS BEEN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER TODAY
:/ how sad it is
sub is like average burst
or something
dance burst is kinda whatever when its not flexible
and blades is pants
and we have no low target cleave anymore
imagine if we just fixed all of these issues and went back to tww s3 :3
skill issue imo
and atrophic is shit
sub is ironically getting closer and closer to 9.1 damage profile
or w/e abberus is
feels more like post zul bfa 
BBN bring back nimble
paying for our sins on... intermissions?
meanwhile Mm rewarded

14 MT looking good dk was struggling though
has any gigachad started up one of those "does atrophic work on this boss" spreadsheets for this season yet?
Does droptimizer try to reach the 650-700 haste cap?
check pings in general
i think
Aura buff incoming
jk its just feint/cloak/evasion
yeah that one is also great, but not quite the info im looking for
i hate this game
if you are the one loggign it shoudlnt happen
this thing usuallyt happen when you are too far from the guy logging
or i assume on this boss when you are under
it prolly bugs out a bit
yea most likely i was under. gonna have to start logging myself lol
ayo just realized that someone that was with me in the downstairs phase logged it too. im saved
is light potential really better than 2k mast

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Didnt know this but the wowanalyzer for sub rogue is actually pretty good these days
the 1700 pot that also makes you lose 200 stat?
it doesnt make you go below cap though
well wouldn't it lower vers
got benched from mythic prog
time to go stand in city like npc
idr yalls stats in pve rn exactly
ok finally getting there
theres the p*sher
ya so what did u mean by it doesn't make you go below cap
sorry
doesnt make you go below 0
yes
wouldthat not be better than agi

Small optimization question. As trickster I want to enter dance/st with 6+ combo points. I see the tip to pool to 60 for building outside of dance, but if I have dance/st coming up soon and my alternatives are to cap energy, backstab at max combo points or to evic and try to rebuild delaying dance, what is the least bad option? 😅
why? lol
LOL idk rogues just have aura man
Tradeskill tools so you can farm mats for the people on the raid team.
always liked the class
btw echo also benched their rogue, we're back to being joever
I backstab @ max combo points if i know i wont be able to build it back up in time for my next dance. But that could be wrong 😛
Yeah I do that or cap depending on the time, just feels bad as an old rogue to ever go over on combo points or energy.
word tyty
check wowhead
But I guess outside of dance is so low value and energy isn't a concern inside dance it's splitting hairs. Prio is not delaying dance I'm guessing
Prio is not delaying dance
You're just hitting backstab at max cp
Its kinda cringe but w/e
Last season you used to hit backstab 10x in a row, the good ole days...
Also true
My character must be cursed
I was willing to race change to panda, but wdym gnome.
How does this happen 100 to 0 so quickly
gnomed^^
i realized its cuz im using a flask in my normal sims for haste and i dont know how to input it into the race sim
how do i sim this fuu
give me a sec
No defensive on a 14 to the energy explosion, it'll cast it directly on you, so you'll know when its gonna happen
Also wasn't topped, you would've lived if you were topped / presesd a defensive
ty fuu
you can copy your profile, including Flask, used like this from a quick sim.
Then just paste the race sim text file below.
I wanna go for a rank 1 parse this season
Had it on the agenda but wanna actually push it this season
im a panda
are we supposed to cast dance before blades? meaning opener w guidon should be: shadow strike > trinket + pot > dance + blades > sec tec
you are supposed to cast the trinket before dance
ideally 1 sec
so you are 100% sure you get the haste
that part i get, but what about shadow blades, are we casting dance first into blades?
you can cast it together with blades
so the only thing not macrod to opener would be guidon to benefit from the haste
yes
ty ty
if you end up with st coming off cd during blades and you don't have dance up is it worth sending?
Is this a situation in which you've messed up
agreed
LOL Im asking
oh thought it was a statement lol
But yeah it should only really happen if you've messed up, at that point you may as well send it just to keep timers on the same page but you'd wanna realign them as soon as possible
Morning, I saw some m+ players using the Finality talent instead of Veiltouched for magic damage. Is it dungeon-specific or is there any bigger advantage to Finality over the other one?
exile the goat
Huh? isn't default M+ build without veiltouched and has 1 point into finality?
Some high keys rogue are prioritizing crit over haste, so what should we prio?
Ignore half the raid was dead
well I checked now on wowhead and it is not
& when I look at other m+ players it varies a bit
That means, the rogues you see use old build. I myself untalented First dance for veitouched
hey

This is what I use, but it's just because I personally don't want to bother with First Dance and the difference in number is nothing
Do you guys send a sectec in the second dance in blades or wait for blades to end to send one with dance again? Does tier set impact the decision?

yeah i think the time between pulls in the 15-17 bracket probably hurts tfd a whole lot
2nd sectec inside 2nd dance within blades and yes
i actually plaed without the first dance yesterday
and i was missing it
XD
same
okay, thanks! I will try it and see how it feels
it's nice having the extra time in dance for damage and cc reasons tbh
Really? Some tanks just run forever and it's nice to not think about FD
Ofc it's nice when you have FD on dances without blades, feels better
But in 10-13 it's kinda whatever anyways
it's been ages since I played sub, always assa main and I feel like now I can run
like terrace or nexus
i have to start resi 13s most of the time tanks are gonna slowly gather packs rather than trusting cc chains
I'm using guidon in M+ (don't have box), and it feels the same as in raid and I'm kinda used to the way dances roll within blades
Also just did a dungeon slice sim:
1 is no tfd
2 is tfd + veitouched
3 is tfd + finality
But idk how dungeonslice works with tfd
What's the imput or whatnot
i don't use guidon in m+
600k on the silvermoon dummies with puzzle, 200k with guidon no alnseer
btw is this a valid opener on boss with lust? It feels SO nice to start 2nd dance with fan
If your first eviscerate have AA then yes, else one more ss after sectec
Yeah, I AA optimized every supercharged CP. The question was more about Shuriken Storm
can you set somewhere in raidbots that you want to have at least 700 haste?
No, you can take oil off and offset it by 32 haste but that's all
!aa

Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
do we need all this requirments fullfilled or just one?
I've "found out" that if you evis all the CP away after first dance in CDs and open next dance with fan you naturally line up the 8s blades timer for 2nd dance and will supercharge first evis into supercharge 2nd sectec "naturally" (under lust)
It feels nice to do
!guidon
Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back.
Why? - This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.
All
not sure if 2x fan of knives is good
It's only 1 fan
Logs show 2 for some reason
Look at timers
oh
How many seconds are you supposed to have with the first dance in the opener with guidon? Is it around 8 secs?
2nd dance is SD+Fan>Evis>Sectec 3 globals
But that's only with lust
Next blades you don't get to supercharge Sectec if you do this
Which is ok, according to faq
You can do storm strike evis strike sectec to get it on non lust blades
Everytime I press SD+Fan on 0 CP it procs apex, since I don't spend any sth stacks before that, so you go from 0cp to full cp+apex every time
Inside blades*
Recommend trying it, the blades window feels very smooth and repeatable every time
is it possible i could macro guidon with ss ?
No? Unless you make a 2nd SS macro for it specifically
First one used on SS every other one just uses trinket, since you're out of any form of stealth
yeah but we have macro that combines ss and stab
Can't do that one
in that macro maybe i could add guidon
You will use it when you don't want to
@short radish doing full send no think
so much
since the issue is 0.1 secs delay for the trinket
You better wait for global before pressing SD
this is kinda fake though because it's a 10 with the affix
I've had no dance timer increase after 0.8s delay
but not sitting on anything is the move for sub now
So now I try to wait a global
so i have to wait like 1sec to start rotation?
this is bs
Also i can see the deepening shadows in the blizz cd manager, its not in the tracked buffs...
10 pit
You gave me a good idea with SS.
Instead of manually pressing trinket, macroed it to SS/backstab to introduce a gcd to it, so i'll never miss the timer increase
nice
holy shit
that's actually a good idea
yeah thats what i thought!
but why macro to strike too
i would actually do it before the cast of backstab but yeah that works too
curious
On pull
another button for this though, don't replace base ss/backstab macro
why though?
so what are u gunna do if there is downtime before u have to hit blades

I don't press it?
ur not gunna press ur generator..
now it all doesnt make sense 😭 nvm
Kinda makes sense in my brain, I hate manual wait for the trinket
It's worse than box
At least with box you forced to wait, here "you have to feel it"
i kinda get it like if ur body physically was pressing 1 button per global, hitting that would still do damage when u use trinket
instead of having a random dead global of u activating a trinket
idk i just press an extra ss/bs before trink lands instead of "waiting" for it
have u next considered the triple blind macro
just incase u hit the wrong mousebutton

Nah, I'm content with Blind and focus blind
what in the world
Never got used to arena1,2,3 macros
i have more keybinds than i have uses so i just fill them in w random stuff
so that if im ever mashing in a crazy moment it hits something that might be useful
like shadowstep or blind

is there a way to track deepening shadows current bonus ?
tooltip of the spell
nicu
yeah but that is not visible on the ui, only if i hover over the spell
I wish they didn't have the dumb divide.
I have thoughts
yeah it's annoying
sucks because a lot of the big boy sub players are EU
It's funny because we can have people on our bnet friends list from both regions and talk to them regardless. But forums? NOPE. No englishmen allowed, it's illegal.
that the "unacceptable" post?
it is yeah
the funnier thing is, I can still upvote US posts from my EU acc
Yeah, just can't post
i've done it for armin and others in the past
just send me a copy of your thoughts 😉
Well I've posted most of them but I feel like it wouldn't help since we want volume and not just thoughts
yeah that looks like high engagement even for US forums
might soon cross the 100 likes threshold
i think every little bit helps
the higher the view count/number of posts gets
the more attention
I expect us to get something once the RWF is over. maybe even before. Could be something today.
But like, who knows.
yeah could be today
Communicate, Blizz. A single response of "We are aware of the concerns. We've heard them and are considering how to improve Rogue as a whole." would go hard.
surely RWF will be over by tues/wed tho
lura looks fucking insane
we'll see
the most weakaura boss of all time when they removed WAs lol
I need to go prog heroic march with pugs but I legit do not have a good solution for Midnight Falls P1 mechanic and I'm struggling to figure a pug friendly one out
I think it's going to be a "You have to understand the mechanic" angle and kicking people who don't
true
it will be yes
maybe it's their way of saying "we removed WAs but now we can make WA bosses and not have them be invalidated by WAs lmao, sucks to be you"
lol maybe
It's not a hard mechanic on N/H, it's just "pay attention, figure out where to stand" but like. Fuck me people are bad at that.
It's Turbo Ansurek
Well they removed WA's but as we see on the Liquid stream
lol yeah
i haven't looked into heroic changes yet
There's enough time to figure it out, etc. It's just a mechanic that requires everybody to understand the principle
5 runes instead of 3
we're progging it in a few days
But I believe the beam isn't random (?) until Mythic so it's simply the same solve as normal with 2 additional runes
lol amazing
that's gonna blow
beam always spins clockwise in normal/h is it?
Yeah
cool
we did start the raid on normal in the new raid this week
My solve for normal pugs is typing the inverted order in a RW so if it's T O X I would RW X O T. And T is always on the right, O middle, X left.
wouldn't be surprised if they nerfed runes on heroic and mythic to be 4 instead of 5
and i was stunned how many people did fuck up the color game
meanwhile, me with 6 fps had no problem
oh god yeah
we're still progging heroic so w/e, wonder if we'll do March on Sunday tho
(6 fps because 30 man raids fuck my performance)
I was helping people kill it yesterday and we iped 10+ times on baloren 'cos people couldn't do the most mechanically simple boss inr ecent history
is belo easy?
On normal? insanely
And on heroic it's just tuned hard, mechanically it is not hard.
It is a very very very simple boss
then again I've heard my boomie friend cuss out the randos who couldn't do the "kill two mobs at the same time with a grace period of like 10 sec"
so yeah I guess
you can burn the egg in the first intermission on normal
Yeah
I wonder if a solve for Midnight in pugs is doing numbers.
XD
1 is always the most right most person, 2 is next to them, 3 is middle, 4 is second left most and 5 is the most left-most
So you'd RW 1T 2O 3V 4D 5X
And T goes to the far right, etc.
Or you do it the other way around where 5 is the right-most person etc so you'd RW 5T 4O etc
'Cos the major issue is as notes come out you want it inverted, since it rotates clockwise
Probably too complicated and just going "First symbol right, then move left" or something
99% an addon issue on that fight. Beloron has some issues with certain add-ons
