What about raid
sim is running now
alright so for jaw's gear the neck is a big gain
I suspect I need to try and REALLY drop as much haste as I can
I just can't see a way to get a second point of finality cleanly, I suspect that might end up being the cook for a no haste setup
won the ST be ultra dog on that?
since we aren't going to just go super deep mastery dr, moreso balancing it with crit
that's kinda the spec at this point tbf
i still have dreams of singular focus buff with this deathmark change in .5
idk tho black powder must be the least satisying button to press
give us zed E at least
Question about the 700 Haste we need, is that before or after weapon oils/flasks/food etc?
after
and is there any real purpose for going higher than that? for reference i am currently at 704 Haste with no oils/flask/food
gives you more room for error
i need that goddamn trinket for sub 
!upgrade
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target / Mythic+: Mastery >= `Haste(~18%, roughly 650-700)` > `Critical Strike` > Versatility
Is there a way to track (with sound) coup at max stacks so I don't have to check if I have it all the time?
i can scream at you once its at 4 stacks if you want
can you kiss him instead?
Thanks broski
i might
recording it rn
but no, not that im aware of
the guidon waiting thing, does that apply on bl also?
that's actually a good question
do you think id have a better time getting into keys as devourer Dh? Its a pain to get invites into pugs as sub 🙁
Deepening shadows still takes upto a second to update even if bl is up yes
So you still need to wait after using it
thanks 🙂
rogue in general, unless busted has hard time getting into keys (maybe not for phys comp)
0 utility class
hey at least we're getting aoe blind back
I am just afraid, that as DH it would take the same time getting into keys
is potent powder bad on saladbar
i see the padding vision
i cant execute it in time
no BL, no BR
but DH as a top damage, if ur geared a bit u got invited
so Frost Mage would be maybe the play, for the BL lol (as long as I dont wanna play tank/heal)
dont play for have a BR/BL too
frost mage is very boring at my eyes
Rogue is discriminated but other class without tool (like DH) dont have this problem
which boss abilities should be feinted on vanguard
I was just thinking because of those tier lists showing rogues on b tier and DH devourer on S tier
thats why I thought itll be an easier time
even though i love my rogue
soack abilites principally
it's real, but u need to be gear with ur Devourer
does the individual shield count as aoe?
any ability that does damage on mythic
i believe so
i was taking the least amount of damage consistently on prog
but i was also doing the least amount of damage consistently

i drop rogue for this personnally, i play alone, and being refuse for ''playing rogue'' every single day, it's hard
What did you switch too
Survival Hunter

sure but it's not discrimate
because u have a ''ok'' reputation
so if u have RIO/gear it's free to tag
depends what key level
if you wanted to do title keys you have to play fotm if you cant make friends
just how it is
devourer is kinda fun
15+ is another world actually yes
i like the minigame of keeping up your form as much as possible
if you want to not bore yourself you just mutter "bomba" every collapsing star cast
the build without is better
marksman exist
yeah but at the highest level realistically
mm doesnt buff casters as much
and you can actually die compared to mage
choosing to pug instead of making friends when going for title is a choice tbh
not going for title, just wanna play some 14-16s :/
kind of pointless but eh
lmao imagine calling peoples "fun" pointless
just play 10s for vault and go afk? xD
yeah what about it
my life is pointless
my keys are also pointless
his point is valid


I mean keys above 12 are pointless
besides title
they need more rewards/incentive
I've been saying this, I like the idea of pushing but the reality to me is pointless
if Im gonna risk spending time and not getting weekly vault key completion there better be something worthwhile
Yeah but when you end up pushing you don't need vault that much anymore
In 2months or 4 you don't really care
I guess in my case I was / am an altoholic
when you're tryna get vault keys done on like 4-6 chars
and you're like i still need 2 keys on mage and 1 on dk etc
having a key not finished is a tilt
that happens a ton more with push keys
if a failed push key gave a vault i'd not mind as much tbf
It does if you complete it
issue is push keys are for score only
meanwhile im trying to raise my 5th rat to glory
Do you storm in dance on 3targets
it's just different objectives
yes
is there an addon or something thatll say how many targets are in range
Unsure if it exists but also at three mobs
Visibility should be high enough to see 3 mobs
push key at 12 is like
lmao
seeing mfs trying to abandon vault keys is so cringe
That stuff is so annoying
I have to confess that I've agreed to abandon a caverns after wiping the 4th time on the first boss

There is, to me, a difference in most people I see do it are doing it on the first issue for no good reason. Key is easily finishable.
And not.. impossible issues like that
Hey guys, I’ve been playing the one button macro and have pretty high dps. I realize I’m missing out on dps, so I went to change my action bars around but I’m running into issues. Does anyone have any advice, or have any tips for me to get my action bar/macros set right
its always been like this + leaving weekly keys is cncr cringe
The 238 resto druid kept soaking the little circles and died
Someone in a pug wanting to soak but the puddles not wanting to be soaked. Tragic
Hey, I don’t have guidon, should I send dances back to back during blades or wait for sectech for the 2nd dance ?
Standing in the little deadly circles ✅
Standing in the trap when targeted ❌
Sry this has probably been asked a bunch of time alrdy
I was thinking more once you’re 15 and higher but ye, some people just dgaf about the other 4 people
What if I need score from you
good question
Alhough I imagine for a lot of people pugging, it's an issue of "i got into key after waiting for ages"
what food do you use in m+?
spaghetti
same as raid no?
!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 hearty feast gives agi and stam
You do not need to use a feast, get your cooking to rank 35 and make your own hearty primary stat food 😊
doesnt personal food only give primary
Oh maybe true, but much cheaper
You can do secondary stat foods too if you'd like
But the primary ones are also significantly better atm anyway
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
They are busy buffing retropals
veiltouched or finality for ST raid boss ?
!atro
Atrophic /Feint in Raid: > Click to Open <
Should be both
then no weaponmaster ?
If I use sec tec and dance with 15 seconds remaining cd on Shadow Blades, do I then hold shadow blades until sec tec is back?
Yes
you dont
lol!
you can choose to run potent powder and just spam black powders
gear up a hunter maybe
but sub is extremely bad at that boss
all rogue specs are pretty shit tbh
on sub
fk guidon
XD
yeah thats a mistake
im puzzle b maxxing
gearing dev
cause if i recall paladins isnt a dps check
it kind of is
is outlaw hit too
guys how hard is sin
shit
Not enough to not bring a rogue
i might swap for dragons
Play sin or outlaw or reroll
they're better than sub
for normal guilds
but they're pretty bad
do we SS on 3 target
sure, its just there isnt a reason to bring a rogue
like on this boss
yes outside of dance
whast the rules
so you will just be striking into bp a lot
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
if you're running potent powder, always bp
but honestly i think you might as well just run wm over potent
rly? XD
idk, i tried both and although my damage was a bit lower with wm
i did more damage to the meaningful target
but its w/e
Yea definitely not needed, but its can be a near 8 minute fight so for normal people a rogue just makes more sense.
up to if you want to press bp or not i guess, your damage is inevitably kind of useless anyways with these minor optimizations
blocking 18-20mil during the encounter if you dont have infinite classes or players can be pretty good 
not really if people can do it without
Hey I had a question, for the pull if I have 4 kyrian cp should I fish an apex proc for every of them ?
do you hold shadow blades for dmg amp on saladbar?
what build we playing for lura?
You mean supercharged combo points ?
!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).
yeah I new these rule for standard rota, was wandering for the case of 3 supercharged in a row
but ok if its the same
wait is the spec just SS>evis now and hold dance until max cp sectech and thats it?....
if you ignore everything else about the spec ye
sorry, i mean like coming from last exp
yes
the biggest change is how we start dancing
and cooldown management is a bit easier
so i remember reading a while ago that improved secret technique talent was bugged? was giving extra benefit or something, is that still true?
or was that just never a thing xd
Yes
is that reflected in sims?
Yes
ok gotcha
Is there any CP addon that has supercharged CPs? I use a UI pack for a diff toon and it doesn’t have that feature
mainly just wondering cuz exile trickster sub perfecto ds sub on lura
Probably only trying it out, but i dont think its worthwhile
holy moly liquid 2% wipe and they had dps dead in cds
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i see some of the top rogues in keys going the left talent "planned execution". anyone know why? i tried simming both in different scenarios but warning signs seem to be always better
okay very very hype race now
liquid 2% pull into echo 4% pull
this is what we wanted
I feel like if Echo lose, morale will be rough - what would it be? 4th loss in a row?
I think so? That would be rough, but they've been pretty damn close races the last two..? And Ansurek tiers?
800 days since echo got wf
people use it for aoe
uh i think echo has unstoppable mental lol idk
i feel like eu players are built diff
in terms of drive to win at least
This is NAs again
yeah thats true but echo is lowkey used to it lol, like dont get me wrong definitely the advantage is probably towards liquid rn but echo has unbeatable mental
theyll just game for 24 hrs on no sleep theyre kinda nuts
Hey guys, new to sub. Can someone please explain this to me? As Trickster :Trickster: on all target counts: Try to ensure that you always have :ancientarts: active for your supercharged non-Secret Technique Finisher during :ShadowDance:. (This can mean using :ShadowStrike:/:ShurikenStorm: at full CP to activate it)

will assa be better after the buffs ?
You are making sure you have the Apex up for your second, combie charged combo point, finisher.
does anyone have a mouse over kick macro I could steal??
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm][] Kick
This is only for the supercharged ones, right?
Yep, correct. It's because Apex does a lot of bonus dam and we wanna maximize that
ty
What about coup de grace? If I have that one up, should I try to do the sami in SD window?
Well, if Coup is up you'd be sending that with your supercharged combie, ideally.
yeah idk even on 10 targets warning sign sims better
Yes it only sims better if you limit it to only with BL
But tbf the difference is fairly minor
Anyone craft a third spark piece yet? If so, which one and why?
first piece was dagger
2nd piece was belt
3rd piece is generally just up to whatever slot ur missing and won't be able to replace fast enough
I was considering pants or ring, those are my 2 lowest pieces rn
Yeah those are fairly decent options, but theres quite a few farmable rings as well
So I'd honestly maybe just save the crests for a future myth upgrade rn if those are youyr best options
I was gonna craft a ring just because its easy to change the stats on a ring to make haste breakpoints
But then I got a very nice ring from vault, so no need for it anymore
Good point, maybe I wait for myth vault
i guess its fine
🥴
so are people using puzzle box in keys cuz its bis or just cuz they dont have guidon?
i have heroic alnseer and guidon, can i just rock those for higher keys or should i be using a puzzle box
i mean, i have 289 puzzlebox, so not sure if i'd even use guidon if i get it
Could anyone take a look at my log and see where i'm going wrong?
I feel like I have good stats and doing the basics
But not getting the numbers
mastery > haste in aoe
At how many targets do you use shuriken over bs/ss?
2 outside of dance, 4 in dance
what flask should i be using??
big
@vale pine Thank you so much for your guides and answering endless questions, I just parsed 98% in my first mythic raid ever, I'm trial in this guild and 3 people were whispering me about how good I did. ❤️
Well yeah but still couldn't have done it without you and many others here.
ayy hope you get some good loots
we stepped into mythic tonight
got two down
Sometimes feels like I have another GCD in dance and I spam shadowstrike, it looks like it starts to cast then doesn't cast and Dance ends. Is it just me, is this a thing? I have 18% haste
Ye thats why you want some more leeway and like 700
Because sometimes that happens at the end of a dance when its running out
the sound goes off but you dont get combos 🙂
Rendori and Mastery weapon enchants, does it matter which one is in MH/OH?
nope
It does not, nor does it matter if you use that or 2x agility
Is the agi more ST focused? I’m not sure the sim would have an accurate “this is better”
The sim says its whatever
is it important to have Acuity of the Rendorei on mainhand or can it be on offhand too? so arcane mastery mainhand and acuity on offhand?
Read the messages literally right above
oh im sry xD
Oh god not me switching my weapon enchants because my mainhand was the crafted one before I got this upgrade

AyijeCDM , has anyone tried it vs Wangbar?
i did hear about ayje, never used it
It’s worth a look. I was using wangbar, but ayije has nice qol for pots, racials, etc built in.
Can you btw. craft a 3rd pc of gear this week and wear them? As in Weapon1+2 +belt?
Aui is still elvui based right? And uses plater vs platynator
I’m trying to avoid elvui.
But aui is clean.
Yes you can. You can only have 2 embellish but you can craft all the gear you want as long as you have sparks for it
Is it worth keeping the sparks? I was unlucky with my vault on mythic items, could imagine that a crafted piece could boost me 😮
i dont see what else on I could use the sparks.. 😮
I mean honestly the only time you would want to keep the sparks as far as I can tell
Is like before you are doing a raid just to make sure you don't get an upgrade
However, this is unlikely to be better than a R5 mythic upgraded crafted item
Jeah I got 190 mythic crests and 2 sparks, so I guess something could help
For example I crafted R5 mythic dagger and used it as mainhand for quite a while, but now I got hungering victory mythic, did I waste the sparks?
Well, kind of, but I mean.. It also kind of got me the dagger in the first place too.
Second weapon > Ring/neck or is a pair of boots/shoes worth more? 😄
You can sim it
thats not wasted! in my opinion
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If you're going to use the crafted one in offhand I would not recommend it, but for mainhand if you're not doing mythic vorasius it's prolly gonna be better than any other slot, if you are doing mythic vorasius already then I would sim every crafted item (might aswell sim the dagger too for the hell of it while you're at it)
Yeah doesn't feel wasted to me at this point
would need to sim many options, given I could chose the sub states too
I currently have a Mainhand Dagger crafted + Belt crafted
I got Hero Set pieces for head, shoulder, chest and gloves
Is alleria caster friendly? :>
Jeah im gonna sim some options haha
For example I crafted 285 haste/mastery neck because I had a really shitty one and I needed haste mastery urgently after respeccing sub
why cloak is so trash
yes
outside of the add that casts an AoE interrupt
How can I sim an item I dont have created yet?
you can just add them into topgear
Yeah there's options for it, I did it for the necklace, you can also upgrade it to any level you want to consider
That doesnt work for me
Goddamn you're fast
it says "cannot be crafted"
Set it to the right ilvl
yea need the ilvl etc
still not working
I accidentally put acuity on my offhand, does it make a difference which encch is on which weap or can i just leave it
whenever i use my cds, she gives me the fuking ball, all timings gets destroyed non stop, i know i should wait but if you're unlucky bye dmg
maybe it does not allow me to sim it, because I did not yet do the 2nd spark quest
Doesn't matter
Thought so ty
You can also do this #tc-research message
run out last sec with spring and step back
yeah... but is disgusting as fk
maybe i was very unlucky today
or the arrows and the aoe dmg they spit
in the floor
Sometimes the mechanics will just screw you, try your best to remember what phase etc it happened in and be ready the next time, better to save your cds a moment and not regret using them a few seconds later anyway
Feels really weird but that's what helps me
ill put the skillbars timing of the bosses bigger or something
arrows are kinda w/e and the puddles you just gotta have tanks/dps with knocks be more proactive
Yeah sometimes it's also just not your fault yk
if you have a friend in ranged
and with the bomb drop you just sprint out last sec and step back and you barely loose anything
you can ask him to stand a bit further and you step to him
like on this P1 i had a bomb in my 2nd set of cds
and step back
thats mythic i suppose
yea
i cant deal any pad damage my dps is shit in p1
in hc
our warlocks and frosts burst them
well im not really hitting small shitters
the big mobs just gets a higher dmg amp on mythic
yes
oh fk
I've also noticed a lot of the time you can shadowstep at the exact moment something will drop on the floor and you won't even get any damage at all
yea they have a truck ton more life
gives a 30% dmg amp
you need to play the mechanic right
on the mob
Bro this race is fucking crazy
I mean rank 1 hc doesnt press bp
at all in p1
perfect
thanks guys
on alleria im top 1 (sometimes)
but p1 im always hating myself
gonna edit that :p
i changed my haste for more mastery/crit and the only thing i noticed in my rotation is a loss of a shadowblade on dance :s
and my crits are like 30-40k more
i still have like 500
yeah
but instead having 7.3 i have 7s
idk maybe my internet latency fks last eviscerate
Like just try and get more haste with upgrades or something cause I mean it does help I guess
Then again idk
I'm at 17% haste which technically is a bit too low aswell
this is the dps bellcurve meme
But I just parsed 99% of ilvl on vorasius so I'm kinda chilling
how much lag tolerance did you configured?
Me a week ago "Shit I missed my cooldown rotation my dps gonna be shit now"
Me now: "FK IT LETS DANCE"
seems like i lose some microtimings when i press my keys
I put that on 250 ms
yeah
Yeah basically I put that on 250 and the game feels way better for me
when i played outlaw lastseason i always had it on 400, i didnt use that option and felt more faster
prob because outlaw idk
I just play with default
I had it on 400 before and I felt stupid but I am also a bit of a button smasher, I'm sure somebody with a cooler head won't get the terrible effects
im always a button smasher haha

Bro when I did my first m+ after getting gaze
The noises the li'l shits make when they spawn or get sacrificed or both
I thought it was an addon tripping balls
Holy shit well I don't smash it that hard but I respect the hustle
hahaha
Idk i used the same corsair keyboard
for 7 years
and played outlaw for 3 full seasons
Eh who cares like honestly do what feels right unless you're feeling like it actually affects you
Now i have a ducky
yeah, i have fun
since keys started being unresponsive
i should stop getting bored
I don't even know what brand this is I forgot
and changing rogues race every 1-2 seasons
i rock 120 on it
Shit maybe I should lower it some more or something lmao
Yeah I'll have a training dummy sesh when I'm back from croatia next week and play around with it
with 700 haste you should finish your rotation with an eviscerate?
im always doing the same rotation on dummies
and always finishing with a shadowstrike
the last 3 skills arent apex evis-evis-shadowstrike?
i feel like is always the same
Yeah one of the biggest tips I've gotten here was always have apex up or at least as much as possible when using a finisher
sometimes you proc apex alot sometimes not
idk i dont think about it
send sectech first in dance
fill or spend depending on combo pts or not
im always getting on my 7.6 after dance
sectec-shadowstrike-apex evis-evis-shadowstrike-apex evis-evis-shadowstrike
crafted dagger or 6/6M dagger on main hand?
he loves when you go to him and complain, i can tell you
6/6M
mine here ended in Evis and even if there were no run out gap my next global is also a finisher
mmmm
pretty sure every melee is higher ilvl on mh
hey can someone tell me if there is any difference between paladin DR and rogue DR on alleria? Is there more environmental dam on alleria?
they are supercharged cp's so im repeat proccing Apex on them
devo slightly better
6:20 pull
8mil mitigation from devo
and 7 from Atro
this is what i always do
you mean you’re striking again even if you got an apex refund?
if you have another sc point
when you use an apex finisher then you try to get another one
and with SC prepull you have 3 that arent sectechs
instead using a solo finisher
SECRE PHASE
@radiant swift what did you say?
who the f are u
SECRET PHASE
LMAO
who got into secret phase?
LMAO
This fight is bonkers
exile rn
echos fucked then no?
Couldn’t see how much hp it had when it spawned in
a lot
1bil
Jesus Christ lmao
dont think its a kill boss phase
maybe amp
Echo should go to sleep maybe if there’s a secret phase
Ye there’s gotta be some lore rp shit
EAA saying sth like a last glimmer of hope
it is amped from what i could tell
Was watching on my phone so I couldn’t see shit
Race was neck and neck and now this is wild
LMFAOOOOO
How do you get in that phase without immunities
that was amazing
Echo finding out there’s a secret phase after a full day is rough
Wasn't it only ret and exile living the end?
Damn this is awesome lmao
I bet the EAB is doing something wild
Ye either that or it ticks down by itself
Which seems more likely
Because they had 2 people alive doing almost 5%
its increased dmg
exile did 10mil dmg
in 12 seconds
thats abit high
Never seen a VoD disabled that quick
Don’t have the scroll bar in exile’s stream anymore
Like right after they died
They're probably recording each other
holy hell exile is pumpin in this fight

he was alive xd
True Nerf rogue
st dmg nerfed for 5%
He wasnt on the damage meter when they reached 0%
bro pressed secret button rogue gets nerfed cause of it

But he was alive when they've reached 0%!
so rogue is tanky nerf defensives
plot twist only rogues get the damage buff in secret phase
feint is strong
so its not just enough to last man stand that boss to 0% u gotta have the better part of raid alive
this is what the tuning was meant for
remember that time we were doing too much damage in m0 so we got nerfed and never fixed
If you're not pink or yellow, you're not allowed in
which further implies they need more dps
its over for us, if blizzard sees this, its another 3% nerf in outlaw
which means rogue benched xD
Blade Flurry nerfed to 18%
sub spec deleted
nimble flurry only includes battle pet dmg
I've been using Shadowdance into eviscerate then shadowstrike and SecTec as 2nd finisher
is this bad?
just introduce a ranged rogue spec that shoots rasen shurikens pls
delete sub spec and give us back combat rogue
i guess it will be harder to get it back during lust blades
New reaction pic
what is the reason that the top 3 guilds are bringing rogue atm? the atropic poison?
cloak?
i dunno much of the fight
probably cloak
On beleros, it's okay damage and Cloak
On lura its okay damage and Cloak
But also atro
And also feint
It's like mid but a good mid
it was not in belo ren
but on l'ura the boss does a truckton of dmg and you dont do horrible there
so atro gets stonks
i can see that some adds spawn up there and sub might have sectec for all of them, but, other classes might bring more dps there, no?
oh ok, the boss does a lot of dmg
gotcha
sub is middle of the pack on the adds in p1
in mythic does the memory game bean does damage?
The tuning this tier makes no sense. Not just Rogue specs, but a fair few others struggling too where others just seem busted yet get more love.
iirc it does on hc too
too the marked players
feint works there right?
yes

4real?
idk if they were joking but they were floating the idea of dk replacing rogue
big
👀
Shit I'm sorry that was totally coincidental LMAO

i'll remember this
Fk
You gap him well
Why’s the recommendation to hold dance+sectech at around 10 secs remaining on blades and not 18~ or whatever the sectech CD is?
because if you hold it for 18 seconds youre losing a cast
also holding for 10 seconds kinda naturally lines up with the cadance
Will assa be alive to execute though?
Yeah but it’s not like you’d send blades right when CD is off since sectech might not be off CD yet, right? so the rationale is delaying blades by 8s is better than wasting a dance cast?
tankier than arcane!
Do you have guidon?
So you get a Kingsbane and a Deathmark
Yep
!prekey
The reason why you wanna save your dance is because you wanna double dance with guidon -> blades to get a second sectec in, second dance at ~8sec of blades left
If you don't do this then it results in a net loss I'm pretty sure
Like I'm ngl I don't analyse these things that deeply but I'm doing this and the results are showing so I'm just gonna listen to what I'm being told by people way more experienced and analytical than I am
Yeah no I get the saving part, it’s just assuming you send dance + sectech at the worst case with 11 secs left on blades (which is fine by the recommendation), you wont have sectech back to line up after 11 seconds once blades is off CD
!aa

Thats what im failing to understand, why is it ok to send sectech under 18 sec remaining on blades
For the life of me I can't tell if I'm supposed to cleave on the tentacle boss in MT
Only boss I'm not sure about
Yeah basically if it's 11 sec I just send it and let the blades wait instead
Sometimes I even will dance to get an add down, at the end of the day it's about the mechanics and progression too
No point in doing more dps if you wipe
Yes
you cleave there
if you mean the jellyfish
Yeah
they all share health
the more of them there are the more targets you have
so if you are running potent powder you send black powder at 2+ targets
Just not during dance
huh why not
during dance too
Use Coup de Grace + Black Powder macro
It prio's Coup
If you have black powder talent 100% it's better at =>2 targets
This is ST
Wait what no you're right
It does say 2 or less
Cast evis
Yeah lol
Ah there we go
Yeah if you just look at the numbers too it just feels better to bp then
For a moment there i was genuinely confused myself
Just pop a #showtooltip black powder on there and choose the black powder icon, use a space as the name and nobody will know shh

!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.
I wouldn't use the trinket one at all tho like none of the good trinkets like to be used like that
Shadowblades + pot is great tho
Remember to relink the pot if it's a different rank
The rank does not show in the name of the pot in the macro, but it's hidden
Alternatively use 2 diff macros, one for silver rank and one for gold
(I use silver in keys/random raids, gold in mythic)
#showtooltip
/use [combat]item:245898
/use [combat]item:245897
/use [combat]item:241308
/use [combat]item:241309
potion macro using fleeting r3 > fleeting r2 > r3> r2 for lights potential
Oh my dear lord that's hot
If you add shadowblades to that, like at the end, does it work?
#showtooltip Silvermoon Health Potion
/use [combat]item:241304
/use [combat]item:241305
likewise for hp potion
r3 > r2
i also do that for hp potions
so i dont need to rebind on every single one of my alts each expansion
should.
Thanks so much man what a lifesaver this is gonna be
np
that thing does not work for me
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/use item:245898
/use item:245897
/use item:241308
/use item:241309
changed it to this and now it works
How good are assa and outlaw buffs then lads
not big
i tried assa on paladins today and the fight is just ass
ig gear also ?
mostly because i didnt touch assa for over a year maybe
yeah this was the hardest part for me
getting used to target swapping again
and keeping up dots
also DODGING THE 50 BILLION THINGS IN MELEE
WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING GOLDEN
different stats too tho
this
WHY THE FUCK DOES THE STUPID ELEHPANT HAVE A HIT BOX THE SIZE OF THE MOON
WHY THE FUCK DOES THE GAME HATE MELEE SO MUCH IT APPLIES A HEAL ABSORB TO THE 5 CLOSEST PLAYERS
sub felt so easy compared to keeping track of the dots kekw
in a raid that absolutely hates melee
why do they hate melee even more
you know the best part about this mechanic
is that the heal absorb just keeps fucking stacking
or something like that
i looked up assa rotation like 30 mins before being subbed into paladin fight today
all i knew was the opener (somewhat) and to keep up bleeds with CT

0:00 Commander
0:40 War Chaplin
1:40 General after shield
2:50 Commander after shield
3:40 General
4:20 Commander
{time
00.1} - Fimbulvtr tells Mag to MD
i made this note for myself to tell me when to swap targets
Yall need designated absorb swappers
And to stay max melee on other side
We did ret hunter and all healers
Yall werent doing that?
no 🙂
Actually unplayable fight otherwise hahahaha
well not specifically doing that
Yeah dh helped as backup
But paladins get 10% healing received bonus
Very strong
Dont tell them about sub emphemeral
Or ur playing sub and doing soaks kekw
our paladin already soaking
playing assi for damage
nay i just ate every single heal absorb and had to walk out to be in step range of my ranged soak
our hpal rerolled to MW last week too
i miss flagelation
i love that the 2 main specs i play
are absolutely fucking garbage in the bin
YUP
Weaponmaster or First Dance for M+
Has anyone else experienced caster mobs targeting you after the tank pulls, while you're no where near them and still in stealth and not in combat? I tried swapping out the hour long tricks, thinking maybe that was causing it, and even not casting the regular trucks at all but it still happens. This never happened before Midnight expac
new rogue here learning sub, do I always wait to get max combo points before using a finisher? like if i have 5 do i use an ability to get the 6th
Finish 6+
Also

wealth of info there
should be done to rogue too
Honestly, every time I watch this race I’m reminded how much harder Classic raiding actually is. There’s just no comparison. Retail bosses are basically dance routines with training wheels while Classic forces you to actually understand your class. You can’t just script your way through in Classic, you actually have to play. Half these Retail raiders wouldn’t last ten minutes in old Naxx without WeakAuras and Max telling them what to do. It’s crazy how far the skill floor has fallen
r all paladin players the biggest sandbaggers of all time
Honestly, what should i be looking for the most when trying to compare my logs with top logs?
Sometimes It deles that even though the setup/gear is similar, they are Just hitting harder
I’ve played with one ret paladin in the last 3 expansions that utilized their utility
is this a twitch chat copy pasta
cd timings r what i look at
yes
Tried to compare my salad bar log with @plush roost and that fucker was 30k above
yes
Like wth
proc harder
The more unethical you are, the harder you hit
adds need to die
So does the rogue class
I tried looking at that as well, Apex looked similar
are we the only class discord that doesn't shut down or recommend to play other games when we're in the trash bin
This happens to me as well and would love to know how to avoid this
we should be
my raid leader is like
blizzard REALLY hates when raid buff is unplayable bro
they buffed hunters so hard bro
ret paladins are just special
dont worry bro
Wonder what spec will be best for keys come Tuesday.
Assa still stinky in low keys
Yeah. I'm working on consistent 14s so that's the range I'm thinking.
Currently as Sub
my friend mentioned this today
there is honestly a chance they turbo buff atrophic
might be cope but still a chance
that would probably be a .5 patch thing though
@hazy breach you might be able to help me here!
i just tested sin in a 11 skyreach
the tank literally single pulled the entire last half
great testing lol
but the prio so good, way more ethical
whenever i play sub you're left killing off the big add after all the smallies are dead, with sin they die at the same time
no addons like omnicd anymore right? (to track partys CD's)
Guidon is 3.2k dps less than my puzzle box, that makes me kinda sad lmao
minicc
would putting all these into a macro work?
yes it works, great for opener imo
so i can put all 3 into 1?
does sub need exactly 18% haste?
Yes, just dont include any haste on-use trinkets
box the only awkward thing is the cd doesnt align
You want around 700 haste yes
you can but still need one for just st+sd
is there also an optimal mastery to have?
No
Only haste has breakpoints because of the dumb "dance scaling with haste" thing they added in midnight

I’m using the cast sequence in the first image for my opener
But when I look at top logs, they’re using the sequence shown in the second image. From what I understand, they’re doing this to get a supercharged combo point into Coup de Grace.
The issue is, when I try to replicate it on training dummies, I sometimes only get 3 stacks of Escalating Blade instead of 4.
Does anyone know why that happens? Am I missing something in the setup or timing?
skyfury
!up
So it will always work in raid with shaman?
so hit enrage
hey guys. what do u gamers 3rd craft in this spot?
unless they’re all striking twice
Hey gang, I already have a myth crafted dagger and belt, but I got myth tier pants out of my vault, Using my remaining crests should I crafted another item or should I upgrade the myth tier pants all the way?
I was pretty ethical on saladbar iirc
Ye ethical add dam only
anyone have a good parse of heroic crown that I can watch?
cheekgripper lmao
lorrg
damn thast ethical
nah man, for ethical you need to talk to nibren
