heyo guys, sims don't start with 2 extra supercharges right ? Cause I see some evis back to back during the opener
i mean they want more hero talent choices, make an alternative to nimble fury tuned for 2-4 target cleave.
What does that have to do with supercharger?
like half the hero talents arent actually choices
nvm yeah there's no pre-supercharges on the buff list mb
back to back evis has to do with shadow tech
Supercharged cp don't give you a reset anyway
we are supposed to shadowstrike if no apex proc for supercharged evis aren't we ?
They are going to be murdered the second lura dies
I probably missed something
If I macro puzzle box and blades together would first press activate trinket and the second blades or that’s not how it works?
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
!FUU
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
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
interesting will assa beat us in raid after new tuning? xD
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.
nado at least might see play if we get a tier set that's focused on clones
will sub fall behind the other 2 specs? after tuning
we thought that they remove that to give us abnormal ST, yeah sure they'll do that ffs, balance this season is hilariously bad
could fall behind assa, outlaw unlikely
fine with that tbh
but things will be boss-specific
as the different bosses have different dmg profiles that are good on them
i can play assa and sub, outlaw never went into my brain
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
difference will be huge i see only on paladins
outlaw despises it a bit more but doesn't matter that much
mastery is good on sin for sure
sin is chill to play
Expecting "abnormal" st was maybe also just a bit naive
at least
my guild will start paladins in 3 month so i have plenty of time 🙂 to gear assa
my guild is working on saladbar so i have some time
with huge passive cleave you always will get poop st bro, withour passive cleave at least you potentially could get it
Anyone bored rn and wanting to check my logs to see what I might be doing wrong?
@swift tinsel not sure if you saw it, max said addon is just collecting player input to display it. likely impossible without it.
lura is probably impossible without addons
their addon is cheating, blizzard should ban for that
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
It’s just communicating via raid chat. 
it still requires player input to use
watching casualaddict playing assa rn
it doesn't auto do it for you
looks pretty chill
Correct
it's very chill if you play FB
just spread bleeds with CT
use cds on main target
boom
i suspect sin will pull ahead of sub in keys
possbily
at the higher lvls
because it's funnel and prio is very good
Ye in weekly keys nothing lives long enough in packs to get your CDs out
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% agree
yeah sin is pretty miserable when stuff dies fast
you're mega gated by energy when using CT
already happening prior to buff (in some keys)
Finish spreading -> pack is dead
not surprising yeah
but that was always a sin thing
a lot of these keys have big scary prio mobs
like magisters is a huge one for that
AA
every key
actually
yeah every single key
big prio is really good
sub is doing great dam right now but it's quite paddy
last boss Seat, you just send KB on start and then full CDs during amp
just like mists 1st boss
cool
really? how so
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
i did +12 MC this morning as Sin, was pretty good - had like 40% of the boss dmg last boss
By the time you get going, stuff is dead
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
and +12 many don't even consider high
so i guess it'll be better with even higher keys
12 is not high no
yea, what i meant is that it still worked
hot
and MC has also plenty of prio mobs
are they playing DS or FB?
also just smoother for first boss than sub
if i play sin there's no shot i'm gonna use DS
FB
²²²²²
but maybe blizz will buff sub before playing assa becomes relevant
Yeah, but 12 is higher than the standard 10 weekly
So stuff lives a tad longer
Still not optimal
all 3 specs feel pretty okay in M+
As long as I don't have to play Outlaw (no weapon ready) I'll be happy.
also no affix so dps is lower
I only have a champ track outlaw weap and, at least in 11, it felt pretty okay
Yeah I heard a couple pulls last night where they had designated Clickers to do the inputs
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 
Use main stat food

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
kinda just depends on your other pieces
I think mine is as close to just right as I can get it
my 3 crafted are with haste aswell
I got these last week as "boe" drop when pugging mythic, so that definitely gives me quite a bit of haste
whats a good stat distribution to aim for?
Ye
yep
aight thx!
Having a little over 700 just gives you more of a buffer which is fine
how important are the macros?
They just automate things which makes it more consistent, since we're not robots
are you not?
i run 712 because i like being extra comfy
Feels like the cold side of the pillow
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/blackmoore/kappakläusin?difficulty=4
dunno why but at some bosses I just seem to not be able to push out as much dps as the highest logs. How do you keep such a high dps on sub? Is it because of boss fight duration maybe?
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.
Boss fight duration is definitely a piece of it. Sub overall DPS slows down a good amount over time.
!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.
The above is only for non-opener right? Because I can fit 3 sectecs in on opener
anyone here good at sub willin to check out my thread and help me plz?
I literally just follow whats been suggested here on discord :D
700 haste everyrthing else crit mastery
with all buffs and oils
i think that extra leeway is worth a lot more than having a few more mast %
depending on how you play ofc
yeah really helps when i press dance + sectech macro and the mobs aren't in range

lol true
a lot of these dungeons pulls have crazy area denial for melee
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 ?
big haste and small mast/crit
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
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
keep the epic gem that gives main stat if that's what you mean, it's very good
o yea i got other socked in ring so i can replace
you can also use haste enchants if you need
Do we need to have 700 with flask or widout guys?
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 ?
Ideally without 'cos then you can use a mastery flask for bigger dam
hard to say for sure, get your haste to ~684-700
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
Mastery is better than crit on raid? Or
better everywhere yeah
!up
With the rogue patch notes/buffs. Does this put the other specs ahead of sub
You think we got some buffs in the next class changes 😅
no
subs look fine on last boss seems like
unless they need something special for last phase and remove us 😄
sub is doing quite bad boss dmg but at least for once the boss trucks omegahard
so they cant sit atro
is it bad boss dmg? i though it may be fine since mostly ST
well if by fine you mean 60k behind hunter then yea
I mean i Play sub too But if i See the dmg done by casual playing assa it Looks op haha
dmg was never rogue's problem in m+
problem is entering a dungeon
because of how useless we are
dmg can be done by everyone
he played sub op too
so
whatever
True and def cds Are Shit too
our defensive is vanish because they decided cloak would not work on half the shit
Every spec Looks op played by him haha
good groups make anyone look op
but yea some specs just do infinite more dps
it may be another spriest devourer aug angle
or mage instead of aug
season zzzz
Time to max out my aug alt then
hopefully they dont nerf BP more
But we got Big buffs with the aoe blind in 12.05 🤣🤣🤣🤣
sub timings is scufffed on last boss too, they are saving blades for 2:30 adds or something
I rarely see you so negative, haha, but this is the most powerless I've felt besides 6.0 and 9.0
its sad times, im thinking if i should reroll to DH and just play for fun
I recommend ret

uhdk looks pretty strong yet again too
Finally 3k, not touching anything 10+ for some time now, really hated the dungeon finder endless queues. Ugh🤮
it is almost sub plus
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
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 here
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
we have been through worse but im also not a paragon of positivity tbh XD
ahaha
push do you ever play casually or you just lurning around
I am more positive now that i dont play the game seriously
well you do realize eventually that blizz looks at metrics in their own way
I play casually, like 254 ilvl or some shit
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
Doing some keys, some lfr, some normal raid
i may do it aswell, becasue i played too much that it affecting my IRL too much
Ye i quit almost 3 years ago cus of that
yeah i know
Met my wife 6 months later and got a kid at 1.5 now 🤣
well i have two kids and my wife very cool about it, but than you raid 4 nights a week and cant even go outside becasue of that
But i am kinda accepting being a lowlie pugger now. So it’s fine overall
Ye the game is ”fine” as a casual too
just rogue do not feel that well as casual player or thats atleast something i think
It does
Because people assume it’s bad
But then you shit on them all
Cus just being better
Makes it fun
Push smurfin those orange parses in LFR 😄
i mean its harder to get into key or raid as pug, i can feel it and im overgeared and have "big" score from day2
Ye I just joined a group for a +2 and then we kept going because it went well.. kinda how you have to do it
oh yeah, doing own keys help
as sub in low keys i was outdpsing ppl 20 ilvl higher but i assumed they probably lvled alt they see the first time
Wasn’t my own. But I try to flex the most difficult title I have to show them I ain’t playing around
So currently I think it’s HoF for the harbinger, which is one of the rarer ones
Uunat
anyone here good at sub willin to check out my thread and help me plz?
and then went on to play with ppl who dunno what hof is
😄
Welll
Use !log
"if those pugs could read they would be very upset"
i did and no one is looking at it lol
I still have old guildies that play the game but I was an officer so not the most popular guy I guess.
People do when they have time.
Rough life when you have to tell people bad news sometimes and then you want favors
Pls boost me
sandwich feedback
Since all sims will try to make me drop haste, which is better for Sub ST? Mastery or crit?
I can't sim them against eachother because it'll tell me to change all my gems/chants.
Haven’t simmed my character once yet. Just look at the top dawgs and copy
Very very nice
"i like ur transmog"
"u r the worst raider i've ever seen, u went afk in a puddle"
"ur battle pets r nice"
i need a favour
An old guildie is doing a weekly heroic run. Shame it’s on fridays at 8 pm
And I was invited to that.. but ye,

Yuh, but we have cozy fridays with movie time on Friday
So it’s unfortunate to drop that for wow
But ye, the game and sub is more fun than I expected as a casual. Just gotta lower expectations a lot
Hasn't compliment sandwich been proven not to work?
does anything about management and hr theories ever work
Delves are still my favorite content in game
I give feedback all the time at work. Usually just find something positive and then break down the negative stuff

delves r cool shame u outgrow em so fast
next season when u start with max lvl valera it will be overgrown even fatser

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i have weapon crafted, and waist, isnt it better to craft wrist too just for ilvl till i get 1 myth wrist?
my wrist is champion
wrist is a slot that's commonly crafted
the crafting or not question usually comes down to how likely it is that you get raid loot funneled into you
which, as a rogue, is unlikely 
2nd boss bis loot
just play in a guild where most people die all the time and then the officers give you loot
any of the engenieer "enchantments" better than Arcanoweave Lining?
Also looking over some logs rogue does seem to be doing fine, but at the high end its clearly struggling
You talkin raid or keys
Non paladin logs
Ye at the high end everything dies before rogues aoe matters at the low end u can fok envenom storm powder more
Boss dam has never been rogues issue
Makes sense to me
nothing funneled lol, solo player heroic raider, wrist champ, idk how important is the radiance for the rest of the season
Ye then u go turbo low percentile m0s and the class gets nerfed 
when does mastery get diminishing returns
The burst aoe quite literally can die so fast my sectec clones disappear due to the adds dying
It’s not even worth casting on them
Why 0 buffs for sub
Collapsing starrrr
I inted my heroic dragon log by casting sectec on the adds
It’s not even cstar it’s legit eradicate
i was coping that rogue actually good on last boss, but longer the fight goes lower he drop
can someone explain AA optimization for a noob?
plus its super easy to prep double eradicate burst
Sub is genuinely pretty high on logs if you exclude paladins, especially on hc. #subtlety message

I hate devour
Bro we did shroud skip left side on algethsr 17, pull entire platform type shit
Do lashers last
I was ahead of dh by 20k
As soon as we get to lashers

Fk this stuPUd PAD CLASS
i like dh in general but i try dev only for like minute on ptr 😄
M+ rotation is somehow more braindead than sub rogue
Damn sub got ignored in patch notes again
does dev like 3 buttons
U press consume like 80% of the key
Do i lose a lot of dmg if i dont have haste breakpoint but i get haste flask, instead of having mastery flask with haste breakpoint ( asking cuz i kinda have better items if im not forced to get the breakpoint)
you have eye beam and cstar only after that or
kush playing havoc on last boss now
U mash consume, eyebeam eradicate, mash consume
Meta is fun
To try for the 6 stars
Then spam consume
I mean unless youre maxing a ton of versa to use haste flask its fine, even then if robot says do it then do it
Lots of people are switching between haste and mast flask
Based on gear
kk ty
Its just like having a ring that gives haste crit instead of crit mast
Switcheroo
Typeshit
i had so much mastery that game wanna crit flask me
Me when i get a new neck but i cant use it because i dont have another ring with another haste setup

but thats ST sim
I have both nexus rings finally
And alleria neck
Stat movement so ez now
(Until i get myth bond of light im vault 8( )
we arent suppose to proc AA with secret technique anymore?
We never were
really? i thought in lust we suppose to proc AA every finisher in dance
what are the rules now ?
!aa
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).
^those
Ye i dont 
But i also havent ran that many so i cant really complain
My last run had 2 drop for people that hate masteru
i ran many, did not get second ring. So i crafted ring and get in next run
Gobbled them up
Anyone else feel a little weaker with the 4 set for some reason?
So is assa doing more boss damage now in raid? 🙂
thank you...but with the rules above...im still casting shadowstrike to proc AA and then secret tech?
If youre trickster, your first dance gcd should be sec tec which means no aa proc due to a bug with premeditation
U wanna start high cp
If youre ds, first gcd is storm and if you proc apex then feel free to send it
But apex sec tec is essentially an extra evis which is why its neutral
Since u can just apex an evis
so proc AA and with max cp...then using SD into sectech is wrong? cause the aa wont proc cause of premed bug?
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
No its correct, you dont care about apex on sec tec
If it happens yay, if not, w.e
Wat
ninjarobot posted it
If you want to search
ohh understood...so if i have an AA already procd before going into SD and sec tech its still a yay...not a No no
guys sub is dead, move over to assa
(X) to Doubt.
I'll play sin when pressing evisc at 80% regen stacks doesn't do literally nothing
We aint beating zerocool anyway, the ciggies are too strong
Might aswell not even try
1 cig per boss
i dont mind assa
me in my 20's
Well its not very fair that he debuffs the mobs with lung cancer for extra lethal dose damage....
guys its calamitous story on the void delve, sub is dead reroll dk
Ye for keys u just play sub in st boss dungeons and assa in funnel dungeons
and for raid?
u keep the bench warm
#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast [known: Unseen Blade] Secret Technique; Shuriken Storm
in case anyone wants to save it
what is that illegal macro
Naah gotten to much gear to get benched xd
Its dance + sectech if trickster and dance+storm if deathstalker
who plays ds
someone knows how much %+ gives the power infusion? (in dmg %)
Like 1%
not much
Slightly less
You should ideally never give PI to a sub rogue
Most tanks benefit more
thx
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
doesnt haste technically increase ur attack speed meaning more cp meaning more apex
so pi especially in shadow dance if u talent 25% probably kinda crazy in m+
You overcap
oh :(
Yeah you do get more sht stacks, but like colo said you just overcap
Maybe if you can get a priest to do it off blades
i have feeling blizz will make us assa rogues again soon
wrong channel buddy
I don't think a 0.9% buff is enough to move the needle
i see
i did not see that
12.0.5 was rumored to be soon too tho as i remmeber
as it was release candidate on ptr
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
guys is it possible to make a tracker for the first dance ?
Guys what is better on use trinket for M+? Is it Guidon or Puzzle?
its impossible to track this thing at top right corner when u have 30 buffs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
Id also like to know, squinting 247 after clearing a pack to see how many seconds left😮💨
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
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
ye that kinda adds to my confusion xD
Normally if you do 100 damage and crit, you do 200 (or 150 in pvp). That enchant makes it 202.5 dmg 
Although that makes sense, it didnt neccessarily help me figure out which ring enchant i should get for m+ xd
Why wouldn't you get the increased crit dmg for m+?
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
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
Crit Dmg is not irrelevant. Crit as a stat is not a primary focus.
Isnt the Set Ring from Nexus bis for us i mean it Sims the highest for me
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
wdym
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 
is it the fact that its snap shotting the guidon with the last second sd
what addon do people use for party frames cd tracking?
yes but it’s only good if you also supercharge sectec
which is very hard with deepening delay
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
Then you drop a gcd in dance which is bad
hello guys is it still important to wait as a tank for the sub rogue to restealth between each packs ?
but i feel like supercharged sectec is so much better no?
then a extra shadowstrike at the end
no
okay thanks
u dont play deathstalker in keys anyway ps
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
wdym
You can put evis on ur cdm it will show up as coup when it's ready (or count to 4 the stacks)
oh yeah I forgot about this talent
Ok so the options are:
A. Supercharge sectech but have around half of your dance outside blades
B. Fit all of dance inside blades but dont supercharge sectech
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
And theyre about the same
ok ty so its fine to do either?
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
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
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
so it also takes the same time to update the buff falling off?
Yes
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
Why did they have to add haste interactions the worst ways possible. We not only have stat breakpoints now but also extremely cringe snapshotting
@warm marlin are you still trying to make it happen?
because they had to change it mid-alpha bc the first version was so bad
Wait upwards of 1 sec? Damn I've prolly been messing this up lmao
I'm practicing in m+
and didn't dedicate enough time to 'fix' it
and apex had a fuckton of bugs that needed to get fixed
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
guidon-wait one second-send blades/dance/sectech
the buff itself is kinda whatever as soon as you snapshot it with second dance
i have my guidon macro'd with strike then blades sd sectec macro
it not lasting all of blades doesn't really matter
if it were a main stat proc that would be different
Interesting
by the time strike gcd is done it usually aligns perfect every time
but bc of how snapshotting works with server update timing its butt
How min/maxy is this? Like what are we talking in dps deifference cause I'd rather just macro it into dance
it won't snapshot haste into dance which defeats most of the purpose of the trinket
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
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
i only do it when u can stealth opener obviously
anyone know why its doing the shuriken storm sd macro
macroing guidon into dance is pretty much the worst thing to macro it to
Wait what you're supposed to macro shadowdance with shuriken storm? Isn't that only ds?
you can use it if you find yourself dancing on low/no cp
thats what i thought
its not ideal but it can happen
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
there is also a literal warning above the sample cast sequence saying its sometimes silly
but its doing it every time
Update soon
2nd dance in blades you’re sometimes low cp
It’s ok to start with storm there
Every other dance should be dance sectec
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
So what's the conclusion on the ring enchant now? 😄
eyes of the eagle
I basically always have full cp for second dance
Idk
"sometimes"
Idk outside of lust you're eventually running dry
At least in my experience
If you don't int globals
yo whats the issue with pressing vanish and not being able to strike sometimes
ye usually if circumstance forces you to start second dance on a builder it'll just kinda happen
Pressing buttons too fast
Is the gcd mouse cursor ring still a thing
whats the command to customize it bossman @warm marlin
I'm curious about why all the top 3 RWF guilds are using a sub rogue for the current fight. What makes them ideal to use there?
idk I think I looked in addons menu?
best st, good burst cleave
tankier and has decent burst aoe when adds spawn
is deathstalker good vs L'ura?
gentleman's agreement not to bring a third mm hunter
The question is: why would you play deathstalker?
I love it

the fantasy and the huge evis
From a performance perspective, there's no reason to play it on lura imo

does the sim take account for the sectec apex talent bug
Yes
is there a way to tricks of the trade your groups tank without having to click on his character name?
!tricks
ty
do u know why my sim is building apex for a supercharged sec tec
by double casting strike
Because it’s a dps increase
WHAT party addon? for cds? i cant use minicc cause i use it in pvp

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%?
You say that yet people were making a huge deal out of AA optimization
which was less
Yeah but if you nail the CD rotation you still not topping DPS meters
If you are referring to the second dance thing again, it’s because sectec is not off cd yet
Another part of the guidon shenanigans
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.
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
The current rule Eleem has is just better
You have to practice the guidon stuff a lot and it’s probably not even better without the currently nonfunctional timer thing
Yeah
Sadge
Changing my guidon bar to a shadow blades bar that changes colour at 8.2 seconds left :^)
do you like my bar
Its very pretty
i had to relog in raid last night and my deepening shadows was giving me +0s of dance
after i logged back in
6s dance goes hard
what are you using for these?
!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.
this bar looks great, really like it. I'm gonna have to try te same
the pink/green is a custom addon the rest is arcui
I tried to do an overlay for sht like I had with the devlin wa
ah damn, I was hoping I could get get potion into CDM.
is the pink/green basically the tick for deepening?
Thats pretty sick ngl
i like arcui for sht
i miss devlin
Wait you can change colour based on aa?
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?
second bar
Smart
use highest ilvl dagger in mh
You never put the lower ilvl weapon in your mainhand, that's pure int
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
just so it's clear, the reason the guide has them that way is because it assumes your hungering victory is 289.
Is crazy that all these beloren cheese groups have zero dmg. And no one is proging normal way makes boss unpugable
that makes sense, I realized afterwards that was prob why.
what's the cheese?
For sht I prefer it at 5 and have a number for everything after.
1 egg phase
Im talking abour deepening shadows internal cringe timer
so their cheese is "do absurd amounts of damage" and they just aren't bringing damage?
lmao
Yub
good stuff
Ah sorry.
I do like ur sht bar tho
I really dont wanna install arc but maybe ill come around to it
I need to see if I can get something going for TFD with it
I’ve got an idea I want to try today
Tf you mean starfall dmg up 16% ???
now they can facetank Alleria adds in the middle of nowhere even better
can you SS the boss when you have Tricks up without worrying about being oneshot?
at the raid the boss with 3 paladins do i use bp ?
Its a dairy product, but thats not important right now
does this trinket dmg makes the neck proc?
we don't really have any problems proccing it on our own
Well youre already doing 50% of your damage as shadow
So you should not be equiping a bad trinket
ic
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!
Probably 295, if I had to guess
i think the prio will be myth track dagger - gaze - crafted dagger - guidon or something
4 ilvl on mainhand = an entire embellishment
mainhand goes crazy
Yes
k ty
how much effort are people putting in to hit 18% Haste? i have 16.8% but sims are lower when im looking to regem to get me over the line
!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.
I'm at 20% unbuffed and I still find myself missing gcd's sometimes with latency
how much
and are u using haste crit oils
700 with oils
Yes
In a 2 target cleave situation do i use shuriken storm and black powder?
2 targets outside dance yes
In dance strike BP
Just 2, targets
ah good to know thank yoo
Strike BP if you run potent powder, was my understanding, otherwise ST like a pleb.
With oils and everything in raids, Im coming up around 670 haste with my current gear. Just short of the 700 for Trickster. Would taking a Flask of the Blood Knights and pushing over 800 be a waste compared to getting the mastery from Magisters?
You should get with enchants etc over 700
670 is close enough imo
yeah i got gems and enchants. Once i swap out a few gear pieces ill be good, I was just stumped on when I should swap from Blood knights to Magisters
Not the craziest, but solo / pug life 
(shit loot, no trinket)
gratz, i have like 50 pulls with pugs yet to kill
yeah, that's the toughest part for sure, to find people who will stay and learn
i went through 30+ groups
i knew the fight by heart at that point
Congratulations!
the new puglord rises
@keen dome are we back?
Back where
if yall had to pick between mag orc or normal orc what u goin with for raid?
for now normal orc
later seasons maybe maghar
Night Elf
Male blood elf
Always
ewwww lmao
wtf?
Male blood elves feed from discord hate and get stronger

randomly joins guild alt run
gets bis trinket from normal
wtf
What’s a decent alt if you enjoy sub playstyle? Haven’t found anything else to scratch that itch in the same way as rogue but maybe I haven’t spent enough time on the class
arcane mage maybe?
Dev DH. Has about the same amount of buttons
A second sub rogue
Based 
Brand new rogue here... Can anyone tell me how this class survive? cause my defensives are non existant
Feint
Feint, Crimson Vial, Health Pot, Healthstone, Evasion (in some cases), Cloak of Shadows
Wtf.
Use Feint before you are going to get damaged
Feint, Evasion, Cloak, Vial
In general just read these abilities so you understand how they work
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
movement
Yeah sprint and shadowstep are lowkey defensives too tbh
@lucid jackal are we back yet? or is it still over?
idk if im doing something horribly wrong
but in liek
16-17's
i have 0 chance
of competing with other dps atm
Rogue seems like, barely good enough on last 2
It's like
It could be worse...
But still not great
surely the 4% outlaw buff will change that narrative.
it's only st buff
Rogues job in raid Is st only really
true
from what i've been seeing, ppl go Assa after 14-15
seems to be quite consistent
Ok.. One last question, during shadow dance, shadowstrike does way more damage than eviscerate (at least for now since I'm a fresh 90) I guess it's always shadowstrike follow by eviscerate, correct?
can we macro guidon to shadow blades?
you want to use it 1 sec before dance
No you want to shadowstrike until Ancient Arts and then Evis or Coup De Grace, look at the WoWhead wiki and see the rotation there for details
so ideally not
Thank you
Top Rogue plays Sub tho.
Some Chinese guy doing 20s
Not even playing with shaman
Assa. Too much mastery for Outlaw
Yeah your stats are good for assas, but for sub you are lacking way too much mastery I think
yup unforch all gear i got this week had 0 mastery and went from 800 to 400
It's perfect assa spread
could be true, I've just seen a couple streams and vids
technically zac is doing a 20 rn on outlaw
Idk, your stats are not stopping you from playing sub
its not at all
Ill keep it a buck 50 fellas
js feels a bit sad on aoe
When the dust settles, only assa will be doing top keys
I think Assa just becomes playable at 15s. But sub is still good all the way through
balling on st tho
I’m assuming it’s going to trickle down to people running weekly keys after Tuesday
i like that all 3 specs are seeing play, its fun
But they removed dust
I would say yes
Haste too low
still no damage
Rotation, mainhand wep, ..
Well sub does begin with s
true
evening kings
what r we glooming about atm
i just set up my assa specs
for this season
Guys did you hear echo went dark to transition to their secret 16 sub rogue strat?????
Ah that's what the moon thingy means on rio
When the black powder settles
I jump between them all the time depending on key and comp
I've resisted playing assa because I like sub ATM and I am a sucker for dots so ik if I play too much assa I'll stick playing it
I've always been a class main, not a spec one, so this is great vibe for me
16 blades, litteraly OS boss
16 hunt same
@vale pine you dont happen to know how well skyfury performs between all rogue specs?
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
its the best buff by quite a bit
Fuu you don't happen to know how battle shout performed between all rogue specs?
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
/use guidon
/cast shadow blades
/use potion..
Im getting desync CDs with this macro causing that trinket is not used since i double triple click the macro:( why and how to fix?
Okay I appreciate you linking that I want you to know it was a joke xoxo just tryna riff on the "Fuu do you know X about sub rogue"
in m+?
I noticed it in m+ yes. Im not sure in Raid
could be the weekly affix which gives spell cooldown reduction
which does not work on trinkets
Ajaj true ok ty. Dat afix made guidon from s tier for nubs to B 😄
every damn time the affix appears
same ass question
real
should I macro blades, dance and sec tech?
you can
ideally you either have one macro without blades or add a modifier key
for instances you don't want to use blades
Yeah and also isn't it better for guidon to have blades seperate? Like Guidon -> Blades -> Sectecdance?

Just do keys the affix isnt a thing
^
my haste is 590 with oils,
should i gem all haste to get me to 700, or of course i can also use haste flask for 165 haste.
!Tricks
try to get 650 haste with gems and drop your vers gear asap
ayoooo got Alleria's neck HM from our first kill
now i can do no damage, but more efficiently
Quick question is anyone aware of any add ons that can alter the spell effect for ancient arts? Its not that I cant see it but i would prefer if it wasn't solid black
Spell opacity
Nimble flurry does not cleave normal evis anymore??
it was giga gutted
bro what the heck is this spec anymore
Mediocre
thats reason enough to just swap
storm bp is fun
as fun as watching paint dry
yes, very fun
we had too much fun so we slipped into no fun, what can you do
Yeah tww was too much
it was good
As to the shadowstrike evis spam of last expac 
i felt alive playing sub back than
Dust sub was the greatest thing ever put in this game
Imagine you can mesh to whatever the best parts are in any fight
tindral was peak with dust sub
dust sl outlaw
