lots and lots of missing context

fast crypt
#

Is it bad to just swap to different specs like outlaw or assassin without a specific set of armor to cater to that specs secondary stat priority?

Because the other builds stat prios are different than sub

Also i want to frame my question in the lens of performing competitively in keys +12 and heroic raid environments

swift tinsel
#

if the tank got 100-0'd its possible it was a tank mistake

#

i.e. getting bonked in the back

brazen stone
#

just play sub if ur doing 12s tbh @fast crypt

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.

I'm partially paranoid that arc will get bricked for being too good and I'm back to square 1 having to cobble a bunch of addons together again lol

If i remember correctly, we shouldnt macro guidon with shadowblades

I remember the discord wanting to suooort wang which is cool

final cedar
#

would it be troll to use shadowstrike in aoe for prio dmg or is that a real thing

quaint lodge
#

Its not a real thing

#

You could, but its not exactly contributing the prio damage you'd be hoping to

hazy breach
#

I mean its definitely a thing

swift tinsel

And it is noticeable prio gain

Is it really

Strike and Apex for prio dmg

I stnad corrcted, trust that guy

yes really

swift tinsel

ye I'll strike in aoe if something really needs to die or to break banshee shield etc in spire

and force apex coup

One strike especially for macabre

Hey, guys would it be okay to go dual wield crafter daggers? I'm currently sitting at 252ilevel and wanted to improve my off-hand, I was thinking of going murder row dagger on that slot. ( Main hand first pic and off hand second )

Offhand is the least important slot

So basically crafting anything else is gonna be better

took a sec but we got there

dusky yacht
#

We should be OP with minimum effort then we could be cool and have fun

keen dome
#

It's very hard to realistically qualify 'cos it's pretty dependant on what content you are doing with rogue, right?

chrome palm
#

when people say rogue is "fine", im not sure how bad a class would need to be for it to not be fine

#

being not brought to all but 1 fight in the rwf should be a clear indication it isnt

quaint glen
keen dome
#

If you look at the big picture, Rogue is performing pretty well in like, Heroic and lower ranked areas. It's fine in most content outside of the very tippity top. It's also doing decent in keys until like 13 - 14. So, if we use that metric? It's 'fine' if not great. But then you look closer, at higher ranked content, at the integral and consistent issues with the entire class like a lack of a +dam raid buff and it isn't fine. It needs support.

#

Also the lack of a strong identity since Mid took away our burst niche

#

That's how I qualify it, anyway.

keen dome
#

The feeling around it, I think, has a lot to do with your level of content and how you play the game. But there is absolutely a lotta stuff that could and should be changed to immediately, massively improve the class / spec.

swift tinsel
#

idk if I've ever looked that far down the percentile list lol

#

25th holy

hazy breach
#

Well yeah, thats sortof my point

dusky yacht
frosty bramble
# hazy breach

The 25th percentile hits different, when everyone else also is bad

hazy breach
#

Like the lower you go the better rogues look

keen dome
#

And the higher you go, the less people there are going to be.

hazy breach
#

So its fine, just no reason to be bringing them on the higher end since they dont fill any niches

frosty bramble
#

So just surround yourself with bad players then you’ll look really good

swift tinsel
#

our IQR and tail are really short compared to most specs

#

which is interesting

#

actually shortest tail of all it looks like if looking at heroic all percentiles

#

so its just harder to be bad at sub lol

keen dome
#

It's hard to get an accurate picture of it, but WoW's playerbase and how they interact with content isn't like.. An equal increase upwards.

swift tinsel
#

or rather, being bad at sub is less punishing damage-wise than most specs

keen dome
#

It's like.. less than half will touch raid content, of that, maybe half will touch heroic. And of that, less than half will touch mythic.

chrome palm
#

as we get more data on the harder bosses on VS

#

it looks worse

swift tinsel
#

that range is tiny

hazy breach
#

But yeah, the stats i posted is why theyre not just buffing it by a big percentage

keen dome
#

I'm more amused by Arms tbh

#

Look at those arms go

hazy breach
#

Obviously they could make rogue good by tuning up the numbers to 10000

chrome palm
#

to be clear im not arguing for a big buff

hazy breach
#

But the issue is moreso design wise

swift tinsel
#

same

chrome palm
#

just that the class is utter dogshit in every aspect of its design

swift tinsel
#

bc having a really small range means very little skill expression available

keen dome
#

Lacking meaningful utility is always going to be more impactful than damage knob.

swift tinsel
#

which is indicative of a mechanical problem within the spec

chrome palm
#

even for like casuals

#

who wants to play the class that cant live in delves

swift tinsel
#

hey we'll be able to with new crimson vial thing!

keen dome
#

That's a cool change

swift tinsel
#

huge W for the rogue community

raw ridge
#

what's the best replacement for the crown necklace?

keen dome
#

Like, we complain about it. But it's actually just a really good QoL change.

swift tinsel
#

it is, yeah

keen dome
#

We want more of those.

#

It's why I'm actually kinda hopeful about a raid buff because the writing is on the wall. It's pretty obvious and we're an outlier.

ty lads

keen dome
#

AoE blind coming back after negative response to the change. A pretty (imo) meaningful change to rogue survivability in non-instanced content which has been a pretty constant complaint in general. Those are worth seeing as the positives they are.

#

So I am hopeful, even if not expecting it.

so to get it back feels like a cheap handout

#

with 2 items i went from 272 to 279 kekw now i just need a gaze and i can parse feelskek

keen dome
#

It shouldn't have ever been changed in the first place, but reactive response to us going "uh what no??" is important because a common complaint is that we are ignored

swift tinsel
#

and its hard for me to see as a positive instead of neutral because its something we had, was abruptly taken away, and then begrudgingly returned weeks/months later

keen dome
#

Ye, I think that's very fair. It is more of a neutral change.

frosty bramble
#

it makes alot of difference for keys i think also, (aoe blind) - most rogues dont kick, cheap and kidney on cd like they should in higher keys

keen dome

Agreed.

Also flipside: rogues are 1000% going to wipe nexus groups

and that's really funny

becouse nimble flurry is like a placebo at this point

well most relevant nimble dam

is from the coup hit

and not much else

hey, sorry if this is written somewhere, but is "dungeon slice" good to use for sub or nah?

lilac stag
#

it’s ok. Sims all need a bit of forward thinking since you’re likely wanting to keep 700 haste

signal heath
#

damn so how far ahead is ass over sub in M+ now?

lilac stag
#

the non-fret version, get 700 haste and pump mastery and some crit for keys

Speaking of sims

#

Is there anyway to force the sim to value haste more highly

#

Not like, add oils enchants, and add it urself

#

But like from a ismulation perspective

#

to account for the 50 haste difference

hazy lichen

feel like only way to parse in most mythic fights rn is to pad

I honest to god hate tis raid so much

whats the best way to use algethar with shadowblades?

frosty sinew
#

use it before every second blades

#

basically just use it as a 3 minute trinket

warm marlin
frosty sinew
#

sub rogues are going crazy on the pad

warm marlin
#

We play the long game for when they remove orbs on dragons and little orbs on salad and void droplets and normalize shield damage and etc etc

#

My goats at wcl

frosty sinew
#

i played sin on dragons

#

just to not deal with padding my dick off on orbs

#

boss dam life

alpine wraith
#

likely devourers still did 5m more on each boss

frosty sinew
#

i beat one of them

#

!

alpine wraith
#

wait their dps is weird on bosses

#

the devourers in my guild did like 27 and 26 on boss one and 2

#

maybe you killed it earlier

frosty sinew
#

7:16

frosty sinew
#

think ill only play sin on drags/pallies

alpine wraith
#

i also had to do the soak

#

that was annoying

warm marlin
#

I mean ye assa is just better at playing that style

#

I just don’t like it

covert stratus
#

i have 791 haste and the sim says to put in a haste gem is that right?

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
frosty sinew
#

sim is probably right

shrewd lantern
#

how cooked is playing assa with guidon

#

asking for a friend

frosty sinew
#

worse than box but i don't think its horrible

shrewd lantern
#

but i mean yeah assa always been better at straight up boss dam

#

sub kind of has gotten by on add spawns/kill timers

#

for a hot minute

#

then some brainlets be like

warm marlin
#

In theory sub’s st is really good this tier so it should end up good at it

shrewd lantern
#

"we need to be able to spam more"

frosty sinew
#

subs st is better than sin i think

#

just sub loses way more st to do pad damage

shrewd lantern
#

ngl if they didnt nerf spatter

#

i might have commited to sin

#

i literally went into np like

#

"ok they dont nerf spatter this is the safest choice"

warm marlin
#

I am very happy we private log prog as well because early tier parsing is just diabolical

frosty sinew
#

i just go for boss dam parses lul

shrewd lantern
#

im a proud grey gunther on salhadaar

#

my tanks dont put boss on small orbs

frosty sinew
#

i had 100 parse on saladbar

#

for boss dam

#

and 82 overall

shrewd lantern
#

i see rank 1

frosty sinew
#

nb!

shrewd lantern
#

20m to small orbs

#

mostly nimble

warm marlin
#

Yeah the rank 1 guy played box and held blades for them to spawn

I wanna ask guys

for this do i need to press like all of my spells ;d or i can just switch 2 only

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 Light's Potential
/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.

raw frost
#

so you can cast coup de grace and black powder at the same time ;

hazy breach
#

no

indigo wraith
#

no

#

it will cast coup de grace instead of black powder if its up

raw frost
#

oh i see xD

if it's not will spam blakc powder

you are entering dance too early after guidon maybe

you are basically playing without 1 trink

you want to cast around 1s before dance to guarantee the haste applies to your dance

Questions about rotation: So on pull when you double dance, there's a period where the second dance has a few seconds left and secret tech comes off cd. Do I pop ST then or wait for a fresh dance? Also should I stop using dance 40sec before blades come up so I have 2 dance charges ready or just stop 20sec before?

marble path
#

has anyone figured out how to make bcdm show supercharged combo points when at 0 cp?

#

searched it in here w no answers 😭

well you dont need to have 2 charges ready immediatedly when blades is ready just 1 + a decent bit on the next charges to be able to 2x dance the 20 sec blades window

#

im having a great time on paladins

#

idk what people are saying

#

With Guidon, I heard that you dont want to macro it with Shadow Dance due to the haste effect taking a second to affect it. Is this true?

Yes

can some1 tell me if i did this correct?

anything else worth tracking on CDM besides AA and ST

guidon pulls you out of stealth right?

yeah

so for the opener i have to use it after SD right?

#

or do you just SS->trinket->opener

north garnet
#

noooo

#

yes

faint gorge
#

got it ok ty

north garnet
#

you ss -> pop trinket (wait a moment) -> baldes dance secret

faint gorge

is a moment just like one global or is it longer than that

due to how the servers work it can be anywhere between 0.2 to 1sec

2 on use?! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

static bough
#

noted, using prism

sweet meteor
#

To parse well on Voracius, we would need to add pad wouldn't we?

#

Alrighty - thinking M+ - Just always holding Blades for Puzzle box - so just treating blades as a 2 min cd. Yay or nay?

viral phoenix
#

for the raid dragons sec tech clones cleave off of hitting boss right? just wanna double check if theres wierd ass stuff again

warm marlin

clones always cleave from the center of the target. they will hit both dragons because the offtarget has a massive hitbox but they will not cleave orbs

#

How much haste do we want? Wowhead says 650-700 but sim is saying to lose some haste (would be like 630 ish)

tranquil sorrel
#

Is this still accurate?

#

I thought we WANTED to supercharge the 2nd dance sectec

tribal blade
north schooner
#

imagine it on that boss in npx

tribal blade
#

i was thinking they could possibly bandaid sub's cleave problem by adding strike and evis back to nimble, then reducing the target count nimble hits from 7 to 3-4

#

then tuning nimble up to compensate for the reduced target count

fleet wharf
#

I think them being able to tune evisc and strike separately from other aoe is a good change, no?

tribal blade
#

it is yeah

fleet wharf
#

otherwise we keep getting bp buffs like we saw most of tww

tribal blade
#

i have a lot of ideas tbh

warm marlin
fleet wharf
#

idk, just give us our burst back

#

we can be shit at cleaves

tribal blade
fleet wharf
#

as a tradeoff

tribal blade
#

being shit at cleave is an enormous weakness

#

as is evidenced by this raid tier

#

raid will always have cleave

fleet wharf
#

i mean assa and outlaw have cleaves, maybe we can spec out of sub when sustained cleave is needed?

#

I dont think homogenization of specs is necessarily a good thing

tribal blade
#

but being this dogshit at cleave

#

i think is not good

warm marlin
#

they removed their low target cleave tuning tool as well

tribal blade
#

it's what they fixed with nimble after so many years of sub having this problem

#

and we've gone right back to it

tribal blade
fleet wharf
#

I havent touched outlaw much so I didn't know. but it seems like all of our specs are kind of lost

tribal blade
#

outlaw used to have the talent that increased BF dmg when you were missing targets from BF's max

fleet wharf
#

we have poison ret, stealthy ret and pirate ret

#

i am so happy

tribal blade
#

sin at least has a niche of doing high boss dam and big prio

warm marlin
#

your bf went from like 60% at 8 targets to 100% at 2 target

#

with the talent (precise cuts)

#

now its like 33% flat

tribal blade
#

yeah it's nuts they did that

#

that was outlaw's niche

#

was doing exceptional cleave

#

which made sense because of their target cap

fleet wharf
#

when did they make the bf change though?

tribal blade
#

midnight beta

fleet wharf
#

oh, hmm

#

sadge

tribal blade
#

i remember seeing them remove that talent

#

didn't realize how big an impact it would have

fleet wharf
#

outlaw would've been in for pally if they had that i guess?

tribal blade
#

100%

fleet wharf
#

#

the bench is warm, it's fine

that has old outlaw written all over it

On mythic Vorasius are most of us going pure single target builds or including cleave talents?

warm marlin

fleet wharf
tribal blade
charred thunder
#

My thoughts exactly p much, just checking

tribal blade
#

AND the nimble change

#

they kinda nuked all 3 rogue spec's cleave in 1 go lol

fleet wharf
#

the hydra stance thing that mm hunters got is new this expansion isn't it?

tribal blade
#

no idea

#

i'm most frustrated at the fact that rogue is literally the only class that blizz has shown 0 effort to use heavy hands to fix

#

we get this little pitty patty buffs that do nothing

fleet wharf
#

surely they're just saving it for the next tier

tribal blade
#

while everyone else is getting big swings and tuning

fleet wharf
#

yea, v frustrating

tribal blade
#

also they have made 0 effort to make rogue more playable with a dmg raid buff or utility

#

i dunno anymore

#

with blizz

#

in 11 days we are getting aoe blind back, surely that will solve all of our problems

tribal blade
#

blizz: this is fine

honest void
swift tinsel
#

according to blizz

#

but hey no tuning for a few weeks so we get used to it

tribal blade
#

the fact that they aren't doing big changes to rogue after all this coming to light

swift tinsel
#

they just truly don't give a shit

#

and will just aura buff us

#

so it pops up again

#

later

#

they honestly probably just don't have a cohesive vision for any of the three specs

#

or how they fit into the raid/m+ ecosystem

honest void
#

they are giving me aoe blind soon

#

for a stockholm syndrome rogue player I'll take that I guess

swift tinsel
#

but even like a "We saw rogue got benched for the last 3 of 4 (and should have been 4 of 4) bosses in the tier, for reasons that aren't simply a turn of the tuning knob and are going to the drawing board" blue post

#

or any acknowledgement whatsoever

#

but communicating anything like that with players is just an insurmountable task apparently

#

they don't even tell us when they fix bugs that make things better for us lol

honest void
#

they know all rogue players are masochists

#

so as long as they name drop us every couple months/years we will stay loyal

left ledge
#

but we went from being an insane cleave spec to the shittiest one in the game, and we dont excel at anything

tribal blade

surely

like if we had great ST or great aoe and shit cleave

ok

but we dont have great ST or great aoe either

idk why people say we do

we dont!

tribal blade
#

sub has good aoe, but not the best

subtle gazelle
#

didnt help that they did the thing they used to do, and just go oops all ranged, they would sneak in mechanics that would be way harder without melee, and they just didnt do that this tier at all, besides DK you can rpob get away with just no other melee on most fights

tribal blade
#

given how bad our cleave is we should have rank 1 aoe in the game

#

no question
