!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.

how likely are sub buffs next tuning

still gazelle
#

Hmm I'm having a hard time squeezing that in.. need to buy a socket!

strange solar
#

gearing seems like pain in the ass ngl

still gazelle
#

With a gem I think I'd be at like 693. Surely that's close enough..

#

Extra gem*

fallow glade
#

yeah just try it, see if you can comfortably hit 8 gcds in dance

plush olive
#

And it's all for the low low price of getting gapped in all target counts

placid crown
#

i just ended saron at 174k dps with hast flask (box trinket), my best was 140k with mastery flask

plush olive
#

I do like the complexity though

still gazelle
#

I never thought about using haste flask

#

As it's not suggested anywhere

fallow glade
#

i haste flasked until i got ~700 natty

tribal vortex
#

what do you mean?

placid crown
thin sinew
tribal vortex
#

Yeah I know that but why droptimiser is not accurate?

#

I didn't understand the idea

thin sinew
#

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

tribal vortex
#

but this is reality no?

astral axle
#

"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"

north schooner
#

it's more that it's not useful

astral axle
north schooner
#

not that it's not accurate

tribal vortex
#

But it is for the combination of gear of the rest of stats

#

no?

hazy breach
#

Are you thinking of topgear

#

Because topgear and droptimizer are not the same thing

tribal vortex
#

I am thinking of raid droptimiser tbh

astral axle
#

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?

north schooner
#

droptimizer changes every piece one by one and tells you the gain

astral axle
#

It isn't doing cross comparison or combination comparisons

alpine wraith
#

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

hazy breach
#

Sure but that also makes it not helpful

alpine wraith
#

but droptimizer will always be cooked

#

there is no escaping it

tribal vortex
#

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?

hazy breach
#

Yeah but it wont show you that a 289 haste item is better than your current 250 non-haste item

#

When it clearly is

tribal vortex
#

Why is it?

hazy breach
#

??

thin sinew
#

because you could have higher ilvl stuff in those slots

#

lol

north schooner
#

because you can move haste around in other pieces

small hearth
#

anyone now if its an addon too get like a spell overlay on ancient arts procc?

thin sinew
#

but instead you're stuck with them because it doesn't want to touch your 700 haste

tribal vortex
#

Ah yeah ok

north schooner
#

and take advantage of a high haste item

astral axle
#

it isn't combinatory

tribal vortex
#

yeah ok I understand but we are doing like max upgrades etc

#

so these cases are not realistic

#

but yeah I get the point

hazy breach
#

?

#

They are

#

Regardless

thin sinew
#

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

tribal vortex
#

So you are just trying to compare different combinations in similar levels

hazy breach
#

Droptimzier does not do combinations

alpine wraith
#

yea alleria neck is also 0.2% for me kekw

hazy breach
#

Thats the entire thing weve been explaining

alpine wraith
#

you need to do top gears with the items added

#

and explain things to people

tribal vortex
#

Yeah got it, interesting idea

dense fossil
#

@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.

sweet meteor
#

Are the guides generally the same or is one better than the other?

alpine wraith
#

you wont get 90+ with less than like 275 unless it is hc

#

but also who knows

winged vale
#

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?

sharp ravine
#

Second choice

tribal blade
#

i heard liquid just sat rogue from bird

#

huge rogue tier

thin sinew
#

but that damage reduction raid buff!!!

hazy breach

#

surely blizz does something now

#

and not just tuning

alpine wraith
#

mage has 2 immunes

#

rogue has 1

alpine wraith
#

then also dps

hazy breach
#

But yeah cloak is really good, as is feint for occasional orb soak

#

Just no numbers

alpine wraith
#

delete goremaw add darkest dance

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

just all the damages

tribal blade
#

WE JUST NEED A RAID BUFF

#

AND SOME TUNING

hazy breach
#

Its just a boss with 30s burst window

naive zodiac
#

feint doesnt work for orb soaks psure

hazy breach
#

And rogue doesnt have any spec that deals burst

#

So

tidal solstice
#

we arent best at CC anymore
not best at dmg
not best at

anything

hazy breach
vagrant sinew
dense mountain
tribal blade
#

so we can parse better

alpine wraith
#

think you play with elu so at least you have a 30%

#

hey

thin sinew
#

omg guy new tech 900 haste!

alpine wraith
#

better than most

naive zodiac
#

nah cheat too good on that boss

#

crazy to not play cheat

alpine wraith
#

actually can you get slammed by soak with cheat

naive zodiac
#

can save so many pulls by using it

alpine wraith
#

or nvm you get a dot

#

we will unlock the secret boss after midnight falls

#

that drops sylvanas dagger again

brrrr

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.

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+?

cosmic prairie
# dense fossil <@1076713447821148260> I actually posted his logs over here, he is getting 70-80...

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

Hear me out

#

I think rogue might be ass

short vessel
#

Can sub still use sword or mace as offhand

#

Instead of dagger

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.

latent finch

!guidon

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

left ledge
#

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

can they PLEASE buff rogue

its kinda ridiculous that the 3 ranged pures are outdpsing the only melee pure

but ye, pls buffs lol

median sigil

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?

rough olive
#

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?

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

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

median sigil
#

i think on my rogue im like just above 700 at like 722 or something like that atm

tribal blade
#

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

tidal solstice
#

im doing fine with 680

hazy breach
#

I think the play is to be at 700 baseline and then get mastery enchants/puzzlebox

tidal solstice
#

loving the itemization i just know as i climb im gonna get more vers

hazy breach
#

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)

tidal solstice
#

love the puzzle box gives big dopamine

yea idk

its not worth to hold ig

dark sun
#

stupid question. Do you cast shadow blades first and then shadow dance? Or shadow dance, shadow blades?

hazy breach
#

Doesn't matter

limber folio
#

it shouldnt matter

hazy breach
#

As long as both are cast before sectech

#

But ideally you should have dance+sectech macroed

dark sun
#

I have dance + secteq macroed. Ty!

u think those all beat sub burst + aren't under sub in aoe outside of their big cd burst ?

a lot of our damage is in dance

#

not blades

fluid lintel

Udk is literally all burst and be a tank otherwise

cosmic prairie

ya our box/sb/double+triple dance window is crazy

#

udk is literally afk after their cd

paper helm

And yet here they are

#

Benched every fight

#

So crazy

plush roost
#

Yes and the only thing that matters on beloran is egg damage

chrome palm
#

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

cosmic prairie
#

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

short radish
cosmic prairie
#

ww , frost MAYBE

lucid jackal
#

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"

cosmic prairie
#

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

plush roost
#

Keys are not raid

paper helm
#

Keys are gearing content

plush roost
#

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

lilac stag
#

THIS HAS BEEN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER TODAY

lucid jackal
#

Sub isnt god in CDs anymore

Its like "fine"

sub is like average burst

dance burst is kinda whatever when its not flexible

and blades is pants

this thing usuallyt happen when you are too far from the guy logging

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? 😅

hot shell
#

yo whats good beasts, just made an alt rogue

#

what did you guys craft? 2 daggers?

hot shell

LOL idk rogues just have aura man

frail vortex

Tradeskill tools so you can farm mats for the people on the raid team.

hot shell
#

always liked the class

mossy spruce
#

btw echo also benched their rogue, we're back to being joever

dire ravine
frail vortex
#

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.

molten citrus
#

1 dag

#

then other stuff

hot shell
#

word tyty

molten citrus
frail vortex
#

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

quaint lodge
#

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...

In case of emergency u can Vanish - SS

cloud barn
#

are we supposed to cast dance before blades? meaning opener w guidon should be: shadow strike > trinket + pot > dance + blades > sec tec

vale pine
#

you are supposed to cast the trinket before dance

#

ideally 1 sec

#

so you are 100% sure you get the haste

cloud barn
#

that part i get, but what about shadow blades, are we casting dance first into blades?

vale pine
#

you can cast it together with blades

cloud barn
#

so the only thing not macrod to opener would be guidon to benefit from the haste

vale pine
#

yes

cloud barn

slow roost
#

if you end up with st coming off cd during blades and you don't have dance up is it worth sending?

quaint lodge
slow roost
#

agreed

quaint lodge
#

LOL Im asking

slow roost
#

oh thought it was a statement lol

quaint lodge
#

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

getting used to having higher haste

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?

vale pine

Some high keys rogue are prioritizing crit over haste, so what should we prio?

plush roost

& when I look at other m+ players it varies a bit

#

oh okay

#

so you play veiltouched + finality 1/2?

plush roost

#

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?

azure thicket
#

yeah i think the time between pulls in the 15-17 bracket probably hurts tfd a whole lot

steep raven
vale pine
#

and i was missing it

#

XD

azure thicket

same

lyric bloom

#

it's nice having the extra time in dance for damage and cc reasons tbh

vale pine
#

i was like "wait, why is my dance so short"

#

OHHH

steep raven
vale pine
#

the spec is so simple

#

that trying to optimize around tfd gives some depth

steep raven
#

Ofc it's nice when you have FD on dances without blades, feels better

#

But in 10-13 it's kinda whatever anyways

vale pine
#

also, most keys have downtime

#

some even forced ones

lyric bloom
#

it's been ages since I played sub, always assa main and I feel like now I can run

vale pine
#

like terrace or nexus

azure thicket
#

i have to start resi 13s most of the time tanks are gonna slowly gather packs rather than trusting cc chains

vale pine
#

but ye, if you can literally not use tfd for the majority of the key

#

its probably bad

steep raven
azure thicket
#

hee hee last week of early season

#

got heroic crown to 9% today tho which is cool

steep raven
#

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

Apex talent optimization:

    Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
golden thunder
#

do we need all this requirments fullfilled or just one?

steep raven
#

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

golden thunder
#

!guidon

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

vale pine
steep raven
#

Logs show 2 for some reason

#

Look at timers

vale pine
#

oh

rose parrot
#

How many seconds are you supposed to have with the first dance in the opener with guidon? Is it around 8 secs?

steep raven
#

2nd dance is SD+Fan>Evis>Sectec 3 globals

vale pine
#

okay, seems fine then

#

you would secret first if its up

#

i assume its not up

steep raven
#

It's not

#

It's exact up on 2nd finisher

vale pine
#

ye, looks good then

#

perfect

steep raven
#

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

hollow spear
#

You can do storm strike evis strike sectec to get it on non lust blades

steep raven
#

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

jovial ginkgo
#

is guidons the move in keys too

#

i dont have it yet

steep raven
#

Box is better according to sims

#

For M+

shadow snow
#

is it possible i could macro guidon with ss ?

steep raven
#

First one used on SS every other one just uses trinket, since you're out of any form of stealth

shadow snow
#

yeah but we have macro that combines ss and stab

steep raven
#

Can't do that one

shadow snow
#

in that macro maybe i could add guidon

steep raven
#

You will use it when you don't want to

tribal blade
#

@short radish doing full send no think

short radish
#

man

#

shamans make m+ feel so much better

tribal blade
#

so much

shadow snow
#

since the issue is 0.1 secs delay for the trinket

steep raven
tribal blade
#

this is kinda fake though because it's a 10 with the affix

steep raven
#

I've had no dance timer increase after 0.8s delay

tribal blade
#

but not sitting on anything is the move for sub now

steep raven
#

So now I try to wait a global

still depot
#

!u

#

!up

shadow snow
#

this is bs

#

Also i can see the deepening shadows in the blizz cd manager, its not in the tracked buffs...

vale pine
#

pit?

tribal blade
steep raven
#

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

vale pine
#

nice

tribal blade
#

that's actually a good idea

tribal blade
#

but why macro to strike too

shadow snow
#

i would actually do it before the cast of backstab but yeah that works too

tribal blade
#

curious

steep raven
#

another button for this though, don't replace base ss/backstab macro

cosmic prairie
cosmic prairie
#

ur not gunna press ur generator..

steep raven
cosmic prairie
#

now it all doesnt make sense 😭 nvm

steep raven
#

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"

cosmic prairie
#

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

plain cradle
#

idk i just press an extra ss/bs before trink lands instead of "waiting" for it

cosmic prairie
#

have u next considered the triple blind macro

#

just incase u hit the wrong mousebutton

steep raven
torn tide
steep raven
#

Never got used to arena1,2,3 macros

cosmic prairie

so that if im ever mashing in a crazy moment it hits something that might be useful

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.

Yeah, just can't post

just send me a copy of your thoughts 😉

keen dome
#

Well I've posted most of them but I feel like it wouldn't help since we want volume and not just thoughts

glacial eagle
#

yeah that looks like high engagement even for US forums
might soon cross the 100 likes threshold

tribal blade
#

i think every little bit helps

#

the higher the view count/number of posts gets

#

the more attention

keen dome
#

I expect us to get something once the RWF is over. maybe even before. Could be something today.

#

But like, who knows.

glacial eagle
#

yeah could be today

tribal blade
#

prob not since liquid is progging lura right now

#

but would be nice

keen dome
#

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.

glacial eagle
#

surely RWF will be over by tues/wed tho

tribal blade
#

lura looks fucking insane

#

we'll see

#

the most weakaura boss of all time when they removed WAs lol

keen dome
#

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

glacial eagle
keen dome
#

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

tribal blade
#

the kick thing on mythic

#

terminate

#

or w/e

#

is bonkers

keen dome
#

Well they removed WA's but as we see on the Liquid stream

tribal blade
#

lol yeah

keen dome
#

I think the rune mechanic is pretty well designed, though. At least up to Heroic.

tribal blade
#

i haven't looked into heroic changes yet

keen dome
#

There's enough time to figure it out, etc. It's just a mechanic that requires everybody to understand the principle

keen dome
tribal blade
#

we're progging it in a few days

keen dome
#

But I believe the beam isn't random (?) until Mythic so it's simply the same solve as normal with 2 additional runes

tribal blade
#

that's gonna blow

#

beam always spins clockwise in normal/h is it?

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

cool

vale pine
keen dome
#

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.

tribal blade
#

wouldn't be surprised if they nerfed runes on heroic and mythic to be 4 instead of 5

vale pine
#

and i was stunned how many people did fuck up the color game

#

meanwhile, me with 6 fps had no problem

keen dome
#

oh god yeah

glacial eagle
#

we're still progging heroic so w/e, wonder if we'll do March on Sunday tho

vale pine
#

(6 fps because 30 man raids fuck my performance)

keen dome
#

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

glacial eagle
#

is belo easy?

keen dome
#

On normal? insanely

tribal blade
#

on normal yes

#

nothing happens

keen dome
#

And on heroic it's just tuned hard, mechanically it is not hard.

#

It is a very very very simple boss

glacial eagle
#

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

vale pine
#

you can burn the egg in the first intermission on normal

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

and kill 2nd boss before 3rd phase

#

so ye

#

pmuch just blast everything

keen dome
#

I wonder if a solve for Midnight in pugs is doing numbers.

vale pine
#

XD

keen dome
#

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
