hollow spear
#

That would be "tuning". The problem is that they've completely removed strike and evis from it.

night sparrow
#

heyo guys, sims don't start with 2 extra supercharges right ? Cause I see some evis back to back during the opener

agile kernel
#

i mean they want more hero talent choices, make an alternative to nimble fury tuned for 2-4 target cleave.

hollow spear
agile kernel
#

like half the hero talents arent actually choices

night sparrow
#

nvm yeah there's no pre-supercharges on the buff list mb

agile kernel
hollow spear
#

Supercharged cp don't give you a reset anyway

night sparrow

#

They are going to be murdered the second lura dies

night sparrow
#

I probably missed something

stoic spire
#

If I macro puzzle box and blades together would first press activate trinket and the second blades or that’s not how it works?

warm marlin
#

But also it’s hunter

#

So they will still be op

hollow spear
#

Don't even know what makes their low target cleave so strong

#

They'd have to specifically turn that down a lot

#

And give some of that to us

agile kernel
#

pretty sure its aspect of the hydra is just insane value its basically just a permanent 50% of your ST damage goes to 1 other target

still gazelle
#

That son of a bitch

dry plank
#

interesting will assa beat us in raid after new tuning? xD

agile kernel
#

I mean if you look at how the hunter tree is set up they have the option between trick shots and aspect of the hydra where one is for low target cleave and one is for 5+. I think most don't even take trick shot even for m+, but its a shame thats subtlety literally has like 8 dead talents.

But like no one takes Night Terrors or Terrifying Pace, any of the shroud talents, shuriken tornado, gloomblade, rotten (i think this gets used in pvp), goremaw, darkbrew, perforated, lingering shadows.

Its not like there isn't room on the tree that can be used to talent toward low target cleave it just a lack of give a shit by the dev team.

#

will sub fall behind the other 2 specs? after tuning

dry plank
spare crypt
exotic steeple
#

fine with that tbh

spare crypt
#

but things will be boss-specific

#

as the different bosses have different dmg profiles that are good on them

exotic steeple
#

i can play assa and sub, outlaw never went into my brain

spare crypt
#

you can remove and add 700-800 mastery at a moment's notice?

#

respect king

exotic steeple
#

ill make 2nd rogue

#

kek

#

nah idk ill just hoard some assa gear

spare crypt
#

i personally cba

#

and am staying sub

tribal vortex
#

I don't think that adding and removing mastery is so much needed

#

I play all 3 with same stats and dmg is around the same

#

Mastery for assa is good

dry plank
#

difference will be huge i see only on paladins

tribal vortex
#

outlaw despises it a bit more but doesn't matter that much

tribal blade
#

mastery is good on sin for sure

exotic steeple
#

ill drop guidon for puzzle

#

ez mastery problem solved

tribal blade
#

the main thing you need for sin is a lot of crit

#

esp for FB

spare crypt
#

setting up everything only to play paladins as assa

#

this is the rogue life

tribal blade
#

sin is chill to play

hollow spear
tribal blade
#

at least

dry plank
#

my guild will start paladins in 3 month so i have plenty of time 🙂 to gear assa

spare crypt
#

im chillin on bench at palas right now

#

theres a certain type of charm to it

my guild is working on saladbar so i have some time

Anyone bored rn and wanting to check my logs to see what I might be doing wrong?

lilac stag
#

@swift tinsel not sure if you saw it, max said addon is just collecting player input to display it. likely impossible without it.

tribal blade
#

lura is probably impossible without addons

dry plank
tribal blade
#

or you would add like +200-300 pulls without them

#

they clear it with blizz before they do it

#

everything they do gets the go ahead from blizz

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

it still requires player input to use

exotic steeple
#

watching casualaddict playing assa rn

tribal blade
#

it doesn't auto do it for you

exotic steeple
#

looks pretty chill

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

just spread bleeds with CT

#

use cds on main target

#

boom

exotic steeple
#

yea

#

i hate deathmark

#

but not having to target swap now seems so qol

tribal blade
#

i suspect sin will pull ahead of sub in keys

#

possbily

#

at the higher lvls

#

because it's funnel and prio is very good

upper narwhal
#

Ye in weekly keys nothing lives long enough in packs to get your CDs out

brisk onyx
tribal blade
#

yeah sin is pretty miserable when stuff dies fast

#

you're mega gated by energy when using CT

dry flame
upper narwhal
#

Finish spreading -> pack is dead

tribal blade
exotic steeple
#

but that was always a sin thing

tribal blade
#

a lot of these keys have big scary prio mobs

#

like magisters is a huge one for that

#

AA

#

every key

#

actually

dry flame
#

Seat is pretty good for Sin too

#

every pack is prio target basically

tribal blade
#

yeah every single key

#

big prio is really good

#

sub is doing great dam right now but it's quite paddy

dry flame
#

last boss Seat, you just send KB on start and then full CDs during amp

tribal blade
#

cool

hollow spear
#

I tried sin once in a weekly key

#

Unplayable

#

Needs higher levels imo

dry flame
#

really? how so

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't play it in a 10

#

it takes a while to spread bleeds

#

CT costs 60 energy or something

#

very high energy cost

dry flame
#

i did +12 MC this morning as Sin, was pretty good - had like 40% of the boss dmg last boss

hollow spear
#

By the time you get going, stuff is dead

tribal blade
#

energy is less infinite in aoe for sin than it used to be

#

they drastically reduced energy income

#

if sin had the same energy income as before you'd have no problem

dry flame
#

and +12 many don't even consider high

#

so i guess it'll be better with even higher keys

tribal blade
#

12 is not high no

dry flame
#

yea, what i meant is that it still worked

tribal blade
#

hot

dry flame
#

and MC has also plenty of prio mobs

tribal blade
#

are they playing DS or FB?

dry flame
#

also just smoother for first boss than sub

tribal blade
#

if i play sin there's no shot i'm gonna use DS

dry flame
tribal blade
#

nice nice

#

i would take the lower funnel of FB

#

for better mental

#

and more ST

exotic steeple
#

+1

#

lil practice on dummies

#

and wipe keys

nocturne forge
#

²²²²²

exotic steeple
#

but maybe blizz will buff sub before playing assa becomes relevant

hollow spear
#

Yeah, but 12 is higher than the standard 10 weekly

#

So stuff lives a tad longer

#

Still not optimal

dry flame
#

all 3 specs feel pretty okay in M+

still gazelle
#

As long as I don't have to play Outlaw (no weapon ready) I'll be happy.

#

For Sub, my stats are kinda bricked - this is with oils and flask, and my haste is just a bit higher than mastery, so food gives me haste PepeHandSad

swift tinsel
#

Use main stat food

hollow spear
#

Too much vers

#

Delete

dry flame
#

My haste is a bit high, because i crafted boots/neck with crit/haste, so i use for all 3 specs

#

but it's alright, not the end of the world

wild vine
#

kinda just depends on your other pieces

still gazelle
#

I think mine is as close to just right as I can get it

wild vine
#

my 3 crafted are with haste aswell

dry flame
wild vine
#

certainly. think those would get me to 20% aswell

dry flame
#

also void/light rings 😛

#

ill prob swap one if i get a juicy AA one

wintry blaze
#

whats a good stat distribution to aim for?

dry flame
#

684-700 haste

#

and as much mastery

wintry blaze
#

what about crit?

#

The graph in the wowhead stat prio guide is a bit confusing

wild vine
#

we dont just aim for any stat amounts except haste anyways

#

just sim

wintry blaze
#

i am sitting at 718 haste atm

#

so i should be gucci?

swift tinsel
#

Ye

wild vine
#

yep

wintry blaze
#

aight thx!

swift tinsel
#

Having a little over 700 just gives you more of a buffer which is fine

gilded garden
#

how important are the macros?

dry flame
#

They just automate things which makes it more consistent, since we're not robots

Btw, what do u think about my stats? I’m using Raidbots to simulate myself in single target, and it says I have good stats, but I’ve seen that mastery is more commonly used.

!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.

The above is only for non-opener right? Because I can fit 3 sectecs in on opener

wraith zealot
#

hi guys i wonder got 17% haste atm so wich gems be good to put on sokets grren one with mastery haste or haste crit ?

tribal blade
#

do either, the diff will not be big

#

i suspect if you have below ~25% crit or so your sim will be very crit hungry

wraith zealot
#

righty i has 18 % but i puit gems for ststs so i lose a bit haste but i have one more gem so can replace for haste and mastery i think i got 24 % crit so should be ok

tribal blade
#

keep the epic gem that gives main stat if that's what you mean, it's very good

wraith zealot
#

o yea i got other socked in ring so i can replace

tribal blade
#

you can also use haste enchants if you need

plucky moon
#

Do we need to have 700 with flask or widout guys?

wraith zealot
#

but is betetr change gem i thik

#

oil give u some haste as well i got 17 % whith oils on weapons need change one gem or enchant to get 18%

#

i think i be fine

#

is any soft cap for crit or is better put on mastery a mean haste 18% rest pumpin to mastery ?

keen dome
tribal blade
#

and then honestly whatever your stats are elsewhere is what you've got

#

unless you have pieces you can swap around to get more crit or mast

shut crypt
tribal blade
#

general rule for gearing sub is 700 haste, then a lot of mastery

#

rest into crit

sub is doing quite bad boss dmg but at least for once the boss trucks omegahard

hallow mortar

is it bad boss dmg? i though it may be fine since mostly ST

alpine wraith
#

well if by fine you mean 60k behind hunter then yea

gleaming crane

dmg was never rogue's problem in m+

problem is entering a dungeon

brisk onyx

it is almost sub plus

hallow mortar

i do play ret as my main alt now, but it feel kinda dull. What i like about DH is you can play tank mdps and rdps, which give you infinite options in theory

#

will see, have unistalled game for now 😄

#

did not save WTF may be mistake

brisk onyx
#

To be honest, this is probably the best way to protest their neglect of rogue; although there's not much point in saying a lot heregarf_sit

hallow mortar
#

i mean in not protesting anything, its like someone care in milion player pool

#

its just if you dont get to raid whats the point if you care only about raids

I am more positive now that i dont play the game seriously

alpine wraith
#

well you do realize eventually that blizz looks at metrics in their own way

bronze turret
#

I play casually, like 254 ilvl or some shit

alpine wraith
#

i also try to explain it when i can that they just see sub midpack or rogue in general and are like

#

yea this is fine

bronze turret
#

Doing some keys, some lfr, some normal raid

hallow mortar

i may do it aswell, becasue i played too much that it affecting my IRL too much

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.

guys is it possible to make a tracker for the first dance ?

verbal kelp
#

Guys what is better on use trinket for M+? Is it Guidon or Puzzle?

golden thistle
#

its impossible to track this thing at top right corner when u have 30 buffs

cloud rover

#

If there's no addon for it, I'll make one tomorrow

#

Cause I am also annoyed by it

wintry blaze
#

So i was previously told that crit is kinda irrelevant for sub, but the WoWHead guide tells me to buy the Ring enchant that buffs crit effectiveness? 😄

#

Not irrelevant, but like X haste and the rest full mastery

cursive tundra
#

Idk, for me crit sims well

#

once I reached haste breakpoint

#

sim likes mastery crit quite a lot

#

But keep in mind

#

Crit gives you crit CHANCE

#

That enchant gives you crit dmg

wintry blaze
cursive tundra
#

Normally if you do 100 damage and crit, you do 200 (or 150 in pvp). That enchant makes it 202.5 dmg EZ

wintry blaze
cursive tundra
#

you know everyone on this discord will tell you

#

sim it

wintry blaze
#

Didnt they remove Dungeon Slice?

fresh canyon
cursive tundra
#

now you see everyone has their opinion on that. i still use dungeon slice for generic m+ idea, if you want more accurate, you can export route from MDT and put that into the sim footer to sim an actual dungeon with route

#

or that was actually a weakaura

buoyant shale
#

Is the Coup tracking broken or just really bad? I want to track when coup is ready not how many stacks of escalating blades I have

lilac stag
gleaming crane
hazy lichen
#

anyone know why my sim doesnt follow this

warm marlin
#

It’s technically slightly better (like 0.2%) to perfect snapshot stuff but it’s very difficult with in game delay on stuff

#

The faq rule is for humans/those who suffer from deepening update delay

warm marlin
#

There are just some very precise timings that for various reasons are hard to do as a human that the sim does, the easy faq rule is very very close

#

It’s a lot to type out on mobile garf

hazy lichen
#

is it the fact that its snap shotting the guidon with the last second sd

fleet acorn
#

what addon do people use for party frames cd tracking?

warm marlin
#

which is very hard with deepening delay

hazy lichen
#

so cant u press evisc and then just wait half a second at max cp to supercharge it

#

it aligns up

#

pretty well

#

at least for my current haste

warm marlin
#

Then you drop a gcd in dance which is bad

ashen warren
#

hello guys is it still important to wait as a tank for the sub rogue to restealth between each packs ?

hazy lichen
#

but i feel like supercharged sectec is so much better no?

#

then a extra shadowstrike at the end

ashen warren
#

okay thanks

hazy lichen
#

u dont play deathstalker in keys anyway ps

cursive tundra
#

if they really want a big sd with first dance they can vanish and drop combat for a few seconds

#

but it's no longer that significant

golden totem
ashen warren
#

oh yeah I forgot about this talent

cursive tundra
#

maybe i'm just dumdum

hazy breach
cursive tundra
#

but I vanish to drop combat and get first dance if the tank is chain pulling the entire way and I have sb+puzzlebox up

hazy breach
#

And theyre about the same

hazy lichen
hazy breach
#

Well yes but the first* one is significantly easier to do

#

As you dont need to cast your dance at the last millisecond of your guidon trinket

hazy lichen
#

arent you doing the same but with last 8 sec of blades tho

#

ig less punishment tho if u f it up

#

also i noticed that sometimes my guidon falls off and half a second or so later ill press dance and it still has the haste buff

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

That is the exact window you want to press your second dance in everytime

#

If you do the supercharge thing

#

Which is why it is hard

hazy lichen
#

so it also takes the same time to update the buff falling off?

hazy breach
#

Yes

hazy lichen
#

wtff

#

thats so niche

#

is there a way where u could have it set up on cdm to where it tracks it for an extra 0.5 sec

hazy breach
#

Nope

#

Again

#

Just dont bother

#

And do the other thing

latent finch
#

Why did they have to add haste interactions the worst ways possible. We not only have stat breakpoints now but also extremely cringe snapshotting

hollow spear
#

@warm marlin are you still trying to make it happen?

swift tinsel
#

because they had to change it mid-alpha bc the first version was so bad

dusky yacht
#

Wait upwards of 1 sec? Damn I've prolly been messing this up lmao

hollow spear
#

I'm practicing in m+

swift tinsel
#

and didn't dedicate enough time to 'fix' it

#

and apex had a fuckton of bugs that needed to get fixed

hazy lichen
#

wait it aligns perfect with meld + vanish

#

u dont even have to time it

dusky yacht
#

LIke how are you supposed to use guidon then, guidon before blades and sectec+dance macro, but you wait .. "upwards of 1 sec"? That's so weird

swift tinsel
#

guidon-wait one second-send blades/dance/sectech

#

the buff itself is kinda whatever as soon as you snapshot it with second dance

hazy lichen
swift tinsel
#

it not lasting all of blades doesn't really matter

#

if it were a main stat proc that would be different

hazy lichen
#

by the time strike gcd is done it usually aligns perfect every time

swift tinsel
#

but bc of how snapshotting works with server update timing its butt

buoyant shale
swift tinsel
dusky yacht
#

Right and it comes off cooldown with blades anyway so even if you somehow manage to ss before dance (idk how but ok), it's right when you wanna blades basically

swift tinsel
#

is basically just an agi stat stick at that point that gives some more sht that will be overcapped anyways

#

its less min-maxy and more the entire point of the trinket

hazy lichen
#

anyone know why its doing the shuriken storm sd macro

swift tinsel
#

macroing guidon into dance is pretty much the worst thing to macro it to

hazy lichen
#

oh

#

nvm still dont get why

dusky yacht
#

Wait what you're supposed to macro shadowdance with shuriken storm? Isn't that only ds?

swift tinsel
#

you can use it if you find yourself dancing on low/no cp

hazy lichen
#

thats what i thought

swift tinsel
#

its not ideal but it can happen

dusky yacht
#

Eh I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing but just use guidon asap after opener, all these weird niche things are mindfking me

swift tinsel
#

there is also a literal warning above the sample cast sequence saying its sometimes silly

hazy lichen
#

but its doing it every time

warm marlin
#

It’s ok to start with storm there

#

Every other dance should be dance sectec

swift tinsel
#

2nd dance in blades is where all the fun niche stuff comes up

#

sometimes sending supercharged sectech with lust, sometimes sending in last couple seconds, sometimes on low cp

wintry blaze
#

So what's the conclusion on the ring enchant now? 😄

swift tinsel
#

eyes of the eagle

steel wyvern
#

Idk

swift tinsel
#

"sometimes"

steel wyvern
#

I mean

#

I always do

steel wyvern
#

Cause you just get so many extra sht from dance

#

Yeah sure man I’m special

hollow spear
#

Idk outside of lust you're eventually running dry

#

At least in my experience

#

If you don't int globals

hazy lichen
#

yo whats the issue with pressing vanish and not being able to strike sometimes

swift tinsel
#

ye usually if circumstance forces you to start second dance on a builder it'll just kinda happen

fossil forge
#

Is the gcd mouse cursor ring still a thing

#

ye I've seen a handful of people use it

idr what its called

its called

mine is called ultimate mouse cursor I think

same idea

whats the command to customize it bossman @warm marlin

congratz on raidfinder

#

Did I understand correctly that the dps difference between !guidon and the technically optimal play (sc the sectec) is a measly 0.2%?

shrewd lantern
#

which was less

lean rover
#

Yeah but if you nail the CD rotation you still not topping DPS meters

cosmic prairie
#

speak fo yoself

warm marlin
#

Another part of the guidon shenanigans

hollow spear
#

I kinda find the shenanigans fun to a degree, but I'm somewhat convinced that it leads to enough mistakes due to how krangled it is that you might end up losing dps on average.

shrewd lantern
#

sometimes when im farming 10s for certain items i like to try fishing with coup st coup

#

to start a pack

#

also makes me not hate myself spamming storm bp for 20 minutes

You have to practice the guidon stuff a lot and it’s probably not even better without the currently nonfunctional timer thing

hollow spear
#

Yeah

Changing my guidon bar to a shadow blades bar that changes colour at 8.2 seconds left :^)

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.

the pink/green is a custom addon the rest is arcui

Hey, got a potentially dumb question, another rogue told me I should use 285 crafted dagger in mh and 276 hungering victory in oh, but wowhead has them the opposite. Is that right?

Or is it a second bar?

chrome palm
#

second bar

Smart

Messer do u prefer it constantly filling up the bar every single second? Im not addon guy but wouldnt it be less jarring for it to just fill up on 5 second intervals with miliseconds

Idk i just cant stand a bar flashing like that

Did you get the sc cp to permanently show?

this will be coming in 12.0.5 and it seems to make myth track items go to an even higher ilvl (298)
i guess this will be just popped on an myth track dagger for main hand

only on trinkets or weapons!

fiery fog
#

i wonder if it puts a crafted weapon to 298 as well

#

or 295 because its crafted

keen dome
#

Probably 295, if I had to guess

fiery fog

i think the prio will be myth track dagger - gaze - crafted dagger - guidon or something

!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.

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.
