yeh it is
The moment dance ended it used the coup.. thats really really sus
so i guess my point still stands. shit dont work right, im using evisc
@spice crag wanna pipe in here?
Without seeing your actual action bars, your macro isn’t on your stealth bar or you’ve got a weird stealth bar swap going on
Back-to-back Skyreach+12 bricks to the most incredible things.
that’s literally….
no dude its the macros fault
its on my stealth bar
maybe it’s assa’s fault….
There’s no macro text there
So unless you turned that off

Can you go into the macro settings and make it's icon something very obvious
Set the macro icon to idk shiv
well if you have it set to always show bp icon how can anyone tell if its the macro or not
Set it to a duck
Yes and your action bar doesn’t say “black powder” it just has the BP icon aka the spell
Notice how my one doesn't have a name
Whereas yours does. Precisely as Scath says
no name
Name, bam. Scath solved it
why are folks so argumentative. We’re telling you to check it because it happens way more often
than it ever should
Thank me later or keep blaming something else
Idgaf
its quite literally the most-often-encountered problem with said macro
You can very easily tell 'cos if you name a macro, it'll always show the text on the ability icon.
meanwhile i'm a menace and name all of mine with a single press of the spacebar
@swift tinsel but is your mouse plugged in?
not a single one of these are named
I Neuralink my gameplay
might explain a lot actually
Do I know what any of the 3 Shadow Dance macros do? Not a clue
Very bold with 2 buttons
left blink is button one, right blink is button two
huh apperently they all do the same thing in slightly different ways.
Why did I make these
lol
I’m judging by the radio silence we were correct
should it not have a name??
The button on your bar isn't the macro
Because you've named it. it does not have text showing on the bar. It's not your macro.
yes it is
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
see vid i changedi con
the vid has bp icon chief
lol
mf
You don't have it on your stealth bar
ok im gonna in the corner now
Quick Sim. Question. Patchwerk on how many bosses and how many minutes?
Post the meme, Scath
If it was on your action bar it would show the macro name.
It’s not on your stealth bar
huehuehue
lmao
All my general macro's are weird quest things I deply regret not naming
I have no clue what they do
I think most of those are paladin mouseover macros lol
bc my paladin tab was full of healing/utility macros
Lol there's a m/o Blessing of Summer still in there
when i rearranged my macroes and hid my action bar after button 6 i forgot to swap the stealth macro
recently redid my UI
thats on me
but ty all for patience and help
It's almost always the simplest explaination.
What's the saying? It's not Occam's Razor is it?
Guys ive got question,
Ive got currently 18,2% haste. So should be fine, Buit Sims recommend me getting more haste. Why is that?
*Talking about ST
yeah with stealth bar stuff its usually just a case of not having it on your bar
I want to ask if someone knows the best or optimal simulation optoins for AOE
all these ? gives me conniptions
PICK AN ICON
RAAAAAAAAAAAGH
they show tooltips for their respective specs
dungeon slice bro
but at least i wont be going crayz trying to figure out anymore lol
they're just not rogue macros
I recommend you look at the raw number, not % as some things (I.e., races) can give more %, which won't be counted for the thing we want it counted for.
yeh i name and give icons to them
recently did a purge
i had macros in there from BC lol
can we save vanish on vor and vanish to drop fixate from ads
Confusing macro's are a problem for future me.
any macro I've made since like 2015 doesn't have text in it anymore lol
I think the fixate will just go onto someone else which may not be ideal.
except for my castsequence poison application ones
Oh, its bcs im Night Elf?
still have this bad boy jic
You’re welcome
Maybe. What's your raw haste? I.e., the actual number and not the %
There you go then. That'd be why, I suspect.
im at 689 with oils and it feels perfect, just enough leeway to hold for a sec if needed
This won't count the % Extra from sources like Night Elf. So although it shows you have more %, the actuat benefit is less.
Damn, no reason to play NE Then xD
dracthyr glide is so clutch yall 😄
Races don't really matter in 99.9% of situations.
Just play the one you think is cool.
glide = dps
Mechagnomes, but my guildies told me that they gonna kick me if i show up on raid as Mechagnome xD
For rogues?
Double Hearthstone = I can be forgetful
interrupt those knock ups by hitting space. shadowstep, proceed
SO what should be my RAW number for Haste then?
I personally aim for 700 but I think 684 pre-oil is the comfy amount? @lilac stag What's the minimum, is it 650+?
just 1.2 more delve levels til max and I get the black hole hearthstone
ty for reminding me 😄
Thanks for info tho, Then ill swap some gear around and get that value, Thanks!
whats the website where you can input your sim and see if different M+ places will kill you etc?
Not Even Close is a tool for World of Warcraft that will determine if you will live or die to enemy abilities in Mythic+ dungeon keys, given your stats and defensives
I won’t go under 675
Coo'
I need a chart I can check every time someone asks..
"Zoomer haste goals. Old man haste goals. Sensible haste goals."
@swift tinsel I need a kill counter for stealth bar macros
triple digits by now
Look at the positive
i blame blizz for making me redo my entire ui
The more this happens, the more likely other people will go "It's the stealth bar"
shit was perfect
Which is impressive with how few play this spec
Did bliz also tell you not to listen on what to double check when given advice? Asking for a friend
need to program Moroes to auto-fire with broken macro keywords
i had it buried and hidden but yes its also blizz fault, not mine totally for reading comprehension
do appreciate the advice that was driving me nuts. and i had hidden the buttons for stuff that doesnt have CDs. pure derp moment for me and its been a while so its nice and humbling
It's always worth double checking the obvious things first.
Stop having AI take my job
its coming for us all
gonna have to update it for BP macro
nah
I'll fucking fight it
I've got books. I'll hit the computer with them.
got the best piece of gear a rogue could ask for this expansion, for our new role
me sittin in eversong fishing on the bench
3 of the bottom 10 overall dps specs in mythic. Surely more buffs announced today. 
+2% to BP
would help cleave, maybe
just replace evicerate
Black Powder now triggers cut to the chase.
I would be surprised if they announced anything this week
Probably just holding off until next week with .5
not til after 12.0.5
I’m assuming nothing until the 21st
Yeah, same
They might announce additional tuning coming in 12.0.5
But it'll be damage knob and nothing more, I guess
ye in the off chance they do anything additional for 12.0.5 it'll be baby aura adjustments if anything
.1 would be changes more than tuning knobs
Or in rogue case .1.5 
When was Aug added. 10.1.5?
No shot sub is in bottom 10 now
ye
Rogue tank spec 12.1.5 then.
Outlaw best of the worst
That’s very concerning, actually
If sub doesn’t bring overall wtf is it bringing
I wonder if we'll get a mega dungeon this expansion or if they're gonna do +1 dungeon each season instead
Sunny disposition and good vibes?
Purple
I could see ZA/ZG mega dungeon if anything
if its a troll patch
Yeah, maybe. I would actually prefer +1 dungeon each patch and no megadungeons.
It's just another chore to run every week chasing some dumb item on top of everything else I'm doing. They're fun but eh.
and already doing both of the ones weve gotten twice makes them seem even duller
12.0.5 we will see the rise of fight timings resulting in DM execute for Assa.
then they can be best worst melee dps
My job is being the worst best melee dps
Cloud cover in 12.0.5 looks interesting. Activating Shadow Blades creates a cloud of smoke for 10 sec, allowing attacks from within the cloud to apply Fazed, stacking up to 2 additional times.
Effect persists for 10 sec after leaving the cloud.
It’s better than nothing, but idk
It's not going to get any use, imo.
The other talent it shares a node with is Just Better.
Maybe on very big pulls?
I know we have to trade 10% crit on finisher, but faze stacking 3 times look interestin
Assuming it works like the current one it's pretty much instant
It's probably pretty good ngl
More of an M+ big pulls thing, no? Or would it have strong ST application too as an additional layer of burst?
Or well, atleast competitive with the +10% crit
You're gonna be the worst Survival Hunter in the game?
yes
are we getting anything pog with 12.0.5?:
AoE Blind
beside that 😄
Is there new class tunning coming or not?
Hopefully, but it's hard to know for sure.
- cloud cover
- aoe blind
- think some fixes for dm
cloud cover that sound nice
true
Criminal Vial CDR is good and cool
We shouldn't mock the good and cool change
AoE Blind is just confusing
hotfix removal bc it was bugged into major patch back in 👍
i think it'd be pretty cool if they remove shroud and give us a raid buff
I agree on the raid buff.
But we've been asking for improvements (and it's been a common complaint of Rogue) open world and solo content survivability
So it's actually cool to see them attempt an improvement.
Small, hopeful steps.
wait, what did i miss
the change doesn't help unles you are killing stuff, so tougher mobs will still be a pain unfortunately
Yeeeah.
but yes, net positive
It's an attempt, and hopefully it will be a good one.
#MakePickpocketGreatAgain
do or do not. there is no attempt. - yoda, probably
Yoda should fuck off
useless little gremlin
Actually no he set a tree on fire and seemed super thrilled about it, that was cool
u mean off should yoda fuck
"Are we on the right path, Master Yoda?"
"Hmmm. Of course, we are."
lmao
Where are these changes and are they in the room with us right now?
i love windrunner last boss
What do you love about it?
i have a funny perdicement. i have the platinum starband 6/6H track. its simming lower then my NPX ring combo thats also 6/6H track. (same enchants and gems) is sims fucking up on the proc on the npx ring?
Not sure about that specific, but Sims want to drop me to under 650 haste so I manually get the sweet spot while stacking as much mastery as possible
well i am at 625haste for my 18%
You want 684+
le perdicement
being able to skip every single mechanic
with shadowstep
and cloak
Shadowcloaking rules
well time to recraft ;-;
This is ideally, just gather gear so you can stay in the 684-700 range as much as you can
Don't spend your life savings on constantly recrafting
dw about that
why does this still happen. but not always, one guy logged mythic chimaerus and it was merged with me (47 green log firstkill...) and one guy logged it with akaari's soul separate and resulting in a 16 grey xd
Youtube just recommended a video of farting horses to me, the algorithm finally understood what I really need
If you're more than 100 (?) yards away from the logger, it krangles your log and akaari is separate
Well it's only been a bug since dragonflight alpha, I'm sure they'll fix it soon
Recommends me 2 hour long ex-CIA interviews and documentaries on vietnam etc

Or weird AI generated MBTI vids
I'd rather watch farting horses tbh
If you log it yourself it won't happen though @sage pond
oh no mbti, one of my great foes
I remember doing that once in a work training thing
Can't remember what it said I was
Awesome, probably
MBTI is literally shit. Pseudoscientific trash
Haha
Nah, it’s used by intelligence agencies around the globe, but in it’s popularised form it’s ofc a li’l bit bs
Okay buddy it’s trash are you happy
Thought it was some mountain bike brand until I recognised the fully spelled out name
It's been disproven countless times, the original work was literally faked by Myers Briggs
Did you read that on your random online news outlet
I think my mbti type is YMCA
It's a laughing stock in the actual field
Is that why the US navy conducted experiments about it relating to types of leadership involving thousands of people
What
Just because they did it doesn't mean it's not bs, to be fair
They've done dumber things I'm sure
There’s actual results that came out of using the work
Please go read some actual theory surrounding MBTI and modern analysis of trait theory work
It proved transformational leadership is more valuable than laisser-faire or authoritatian leadership
… Bro that is literally what I did
facepalm Anyway laters
Psychology regards the MBTI as useless, since it lacks predictive power.
Plus the whole issue with how the original work was conducted resulting in zero scientific validity
Psychology isn’t the only field that can use psychological research
Then why were there actionable results in the studies I read
I agree with iGestalt, but I'd rather go back to farting horses than having a discussion about pseudoscience haha
Astrology for people who don't understand basic science
It’s not pseudoscience because you have that opinion
And I am not talking about an MBTI test for teenagers online
There's papers about the world being 6000 years old
I’m talking about something actively taught in intelligence courses which are hardly the place for peudoscience and astrology
But okay whatever makes you happy lmao
Wth is happening here
the psuedoscience course I took in undergrad just made me hate Graham Hancock even more
one of my favorite classes ever though
someone knows if we can track "the first dance" talent with addons?
Roughly what’s the damage difference on 8 targets in using shadowstrike vs shuriken storm as the builder during dance?
Im awful at adjusting the APL to figure these things out
But I’m curious
is there a resource that shows all the class ablity target caps? i keep searching for midnight ones but only shadowlands comes up for me. maybe i am searching wrong =/
like great and all but you should start playing with people with actual hands
do any of yall run keys
Dang i've been really underperforming lately 🙁
that's what i was asking about
where does one find these actual hand having gamers
the post was legit not about my dps
Go into ''relaxed'' keys like these
gonna just list having hands as a requirement when i list my key
get reported for prejudice against the differently abled
but at least my io will go up
Love seeing the +18 learning crews
Hey big rogue pumper gang. Does sub have a target cap? Having a hard time finding info on this. Is it in my tooltips and I’m just so blind I should be playing demon hunter?
Thanks! Appreciate your time!
man i stand in city like npc and bring shame to guild by the amount of declines im getting at 279 ilvl and 3k rio for 10s and 12s
forgot you absolutely need meta comps for kindergarden keys
You’re just over qualified.
i just call the pug lister bald
on my alt i just had a key where i had 40 interrupts alone
the whole group together had like 60 total
why cant rogue be meta and everyone just instantly invites one

though it kinda is meta
then you get alot of shit rogues
assa
i.e bfa
there are a lot of shit players regardless of class
how can you be shit at sub though
im encountering them more than enough
3 buttons...like whaaaat
literal npcs that dont press buttons in keys
None of the rogue specs are hard
outlaw probably is the trickiest now
to optimize
sub is literally the easiest spec in the game atm
punishing though but easy
not by much
My friends and I run brew>sub>frost mage>spriest>whatever healer looks spicy. We are getting into 13s rn. Just slow going 3 of us dad lifing one of us (me) turning old man 40 this year. Thank blizz for the changes. My old man brain couldn’t keep up before.
and spriest is broken
and groups have an easier time to get into keys
thankfully my twin decided to play this expac so i have a brewmaster to queue with. only invites i get are for ones i outgear and outscore.
That’s a bummer.
Frost mage is surely the easiest . You mean out of rogue specs ?
no in general
nah hunter is still easier
Wragebait
tell me one hard thing about sub atm
besides not trying to doom about rogue in general
gettingi nvites for keys youll dumpster everyone else on
we were always told we shouldnt be rewarded with more dps for more complexity, that some players like that. the inverse needs to remain true, we shouldnt be penalized with less dps because of simplicity
pick a lane
I like having a rogue because I can be a lazy brew puller. Their kit is just so good. Having the stuns and blinds and also tricks. Makes my life easy.
I didn’t say sub was hard , I said frost mage is without a doubt the easiest spec in game
would be nice if over half the mobs werent stun immune.
or if they could just go ahead and make all the stun immunes also immune to KB, knockup, incapacitate, sleep, fear, etc. so that our "utility" is seen as comparable when it really isnt
Oh dang, I haven’t noticed.
is assa hard
i havent ever touched assa
or even looked at it l0l
i feel like every class has like 4 buttons lol
every spec is so easy now
nothing wrong about someone prefering easy specs :>
Green parses
^
gaming in general is getting dumbed down ngl
they tryna get us hooked lmao
nah there are some hard games aout there
i just saw hahahah
im a former tekken pro player
fighting games used to be hard
Ppl say the game is so easy now but every pug I go into pug and they are doing 50k overall
So clearly something here is still hard
50k overall is criminal
war crime basically
i have vision issues its the hardest part of game for me
but yeah i dont hate the simplicity of the classes
likes this?
was just sayin
Bear weaving in wotlk classic was so goated
use filters for ur screen/ eyes
See
its always the clueless shamys 😂😂😂😂
do ya'll run potent powder on beloren?
why would you
just for the rare occasion the birds are stacked up
I had back to back trap parties on skyreach
Actually no way those people thought they could clear a 10
Tank didnt know they had to be in melee on the bird
Like how
A mage and a warlock with ZERO interrupts in the same run
they just get carried
have some rio because of it and keep doing their 10s while being clueless
Yeah im gonna have to play some tank tomorrow to take my mind off it
fr
i feel like +10 is a noobtrap hahahaha
just go for 11 and upwards
there u wont get a clueless shammy
💀💀
you act like the dh was any better
I think ill just have to do 12s yeah
died 4 times to vexamus
so guessing 3rd craft is somewhere like ring/neck type of stuff?
oh, does neck only have one slot?
3rd craft is basicly just whatever slot you dont have yet or wont get in the forseeable future
still using it
i still have champ ring, that prolly the ticket
same 😄
imo for most it will be legs/ring because of the way youd get them
158 mastery baby
what's the pvp neck? mast/haste?
i forgot my vault on my alt rogue lmao
the legs are crit haste which is actually kinda good
shoulders have speed
gaze is gaze
think it might actually just be gaze and craft legs next week
shoulders will be in another vault eventually i guess
must be nice. ive never seen a gaze drop or in vault
Both trinkets dropped in heroic the other day and a hunter won both lol
almost got a mythic gaze from our raid
but then they decided to give it to someone else :(
at least i was considered
i hate that damn trinket
wish the tooltip updated with the buffed version
im using versatility drums out of spite
Its fine tbh
But swapping it for the skyreach one is like less than 1% upgrade
Which feels meh
feel like its more bursty on an opener than
crucible
hold out for heroic gaze or craft a darkmoon blood 285. hrm.
like half a percent difference
yeh it does but my luck is also bad
The trinket is an embellishment btw
@$&%@$ fuck never mind
Hero gaze or hero feather is what ill be waiting for
Skyreach trinket on maxed hero track is the only thing i could grab
think ill just have to do this
Puzzle box is just annoying
I got guidon luckily
got a hero drop. had a DH roll on it. we tied. i won 😄
he sent me a nasty tell too then when i told him it was his speccs 11th best trinket he shutup
thats pugs for ya
Question about Vanguard in voidspire. Do we just spam Black Powder for 3 target cleave the entire time?
Excuse my ignorance, a rogue from my brotherhood looted this ring as an bis. Is it true that it can be considered that way?
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
can anyone explain full interaction of Sec Tech + Apex talent lvl 3?
yeah its a good ring
depends on other gear would not call it bis
the paladins opne is better
yes its bis depending on other peices
bis is whatever gets him to ~700 haste and as much crit/mast otherwise
but if he already has lots of mastery and haste it is not bad
Arnt the 2 set rings from xenas pretty good too ?
yea
the proc isnt even 1% dmg lol
i feel like i got a lot of crit
yeah lots of crit - whats mastery?
!up
hero alnseer only simming 0.2% better than plume and puzzle box. is puzzle box really that good, even in st, or just sim bait?
it’s good yes
but those r passives and puzzle is on use
and puzzle is a cast
!macros
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 or
Icy Veins.
i started applying this and yeah its for real 😄
easier to get in 11s than 10s lol
well its heroic so it cant be bis
it can be if you only raid heroic
assuming they do 10+
bis is relative to the content they do and the gear that's available so its entirely possible it could be a bis ring
no, bis is gear that provides proper stats to meet theory craft results u see on sim, that is why its bis, the result of that combination of gear will provide optimal result paired with talents and rotation
you are describing "upgrade", not bis
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
wait til you see that there's a half dozen or more gear combinations that all sim within margin of error of each other
like there are pretty much every single season
carrots to chase
same kinds of folks that obsess over the omnisim list and think it'll be even remotely indicative of raid performance
So things to blame on?
p much
and even then thats a difference of 96 to 99
esp when there's usually one clear winner on-use and then one or two acceptible/utterly broken passives
I mean....
unless there is one comically op trinket
most are within variance
kinda
what is this? I dont see Akaari's Soul at all in my talents and I know its not an ability.
clones from secret technique
ahhh ok ty
they're attributed to Akaari who is kind of like a pet when it comes to logs
causes all kinds of shenanigans
Hi guys quick rotation question.. reading the rotation segment i understand i only use SD if sectec is ready? So I don’t use my 2 charges back to back?
you only use 2 charges back to back during blades
Thanks!
ello friends, coming back to the class since tww. Have we lost like half our buttons or am i crazy
every spec has lost a lot of buttons
some more than most
sub lost a lot
okok ty
688 with flask
i could lowkey play sin with these stats
i feel like im doing something wrong on my rogue . I need help
even after the vids im about to tear my eyes out trying to figure this out
idk what im messing up but its bad, lol compared to some of the other rogues i raided with today
i know for a fact im doing something wrong
ive watched about every vid on yt, lol
bout to just stick to pvp on my rogue with 324 days played on this tune
rule of thumb is to secret technique only in shadow dance iirc and stick to spending points in dance when you can
there’s going to be a few seconds where you can’t dance
that’s when you are generally hitting enemies with a paper towel
just do your best to have full points once dance is ready
nvm that felt gross
so at the moment i have about 22% crit, 17.5 haste and 69 mast
need more haste
i thought around 18% is where we want to be ?
700
so im at 620 right now which isnt to far off imo
what im running atm
shoot me an invite we'll go to a dummy and see if we can figure it out
Tisaka-drakthul
are you horde or ally?
horde
i tried to whisper you
ah ya didn't get it
pm me your btag
are we just using regular trickster raid build for pallys?
switch weaponmaster for potent
its stupid how much more dmg warlocks do at range. wtf blizz this balance is trash
btw
does that mean that everytime i proc a shadow clone or use secret technique i will receive 4 energy and store 1 cp from them
yes
perfect xD thats a lot of energy regen
bc of Shadowcraft
and enerrgy
which doubles the effect
and with this it will be more
yes
due to this the shadow clones will proc like every shadow s trike 😄
btw does this proc a lot or
in dance/blades yeah
im feeling like a #boss
sadly tank dc -> key dead so we will never know how much bigger id be
not good enough for lfg 
Can anyone tell me how I'm supposed to know my stat weights without simcraft? Does raidbots have them? I'm assuming Mast/Crit/Haste/Vers but dno what the soft caps are if at all
!log
whats the buff id for ancient arts?
We don’t use stat weights. That’s rather antiquated.
With the current version of sub you want ~700 haste. Then go for mastery/crit. more mastery in m+
i dont get mafic as well
like rogue is such a small playerbase anyway
why bother trolling such a small minority
when there are druids and paladins
my favorite thing he's doing right now is constantly spamming in every thread how blizz is giving Ws after Ws to rogue
when we're having the literal exact opposite thing happen
this is what happens when you're that opinionated yet do absolutely nothing in game
yeah his character has not killed a single raid boss, done a single key or done a single rated pvp match
STRONG BASE FOR HAVING OPINIONS RIGHT THERE
wym bro
he’s a open world gamer
Perhaps he’s the smartest one in the room by avoiding all the content we try to do and bitch about sub rogue in.
LOL maybe
that's some 4d chess right there
who’s the fool? 
ME
do we have something that shows what atrophic works and doesnt work on
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Maybe he's playing the longest game known to man and just hates rogue.
Guild name checks out
he's on an RPPVP server and RP's as a PVPer
without ever having to pvp
its the perfect crime
Yes and no, yes you’re right because he can’t possibly understand where and how the stuff he’s complaining about meets its limits and difficulty if this is about viability etc.
No because a guy doing his world quest deserves to have a say about how his class feels to play, and if anything his view on that might be more accurate that yours or mine, since a lot of the more serious players will take gameplay Ls for performance Ws, and through that choice we disqualify ourselves as judges of gameplay compared to someone doing open world shit but they’re uncompromising - if you get me
I tend to agree with this sentiment, yeah. Everybody who is playing the class / spec has a right to discuss and have an opinion about regardless of content they are doing. But I do think people should do so with a level of perception of the content they're doing.
Which this guy.. doesn't.
No i disagree. People who have 40 IQ should not have any say in any decision making
you can advocate for them
but the acutal 40 iq people don't understand what they want/need
I hate IQ. We should fight it instead.
Ah, a fellow democracy hater - respect
And yes, that is directly what you’re hating on, and yes it is that fuckin dumb
I typically think there is a lot of value in listening to a complete slice of players. Someone who just does their casual daily content is as worthwhile as the top tier end-game big boy raider. The problem is when the former has constant ideas about the latter's area of content with zero experince or understanding, or even willingness to learn imo.
But they should listen to me the most
I've positioned myself in the ideal spot between everybody
I am John Warcraft
Full of opinions and terrible at it all.
Ngl I’m actually not familiar with mafic, though I do remember seeing his name
How’s he trolling
yeah that's fair, but his takes are consistently awful
which is why people meme on him so much
A lot of his feedback or ideas don't really seem to stem from actually playing the game at all. He's a PvPer, but he doesn't really PvP and a lot of his takes or ideas are just "but.. you've never done that? You have no context"
What was the response to your thread, Prophet, that was really "huh??"
he also does an absolutely insane amount of posting
and blizz looks there for feedback
I always treated it as a throw it to the void and pray kinda feedback channel
Especially since I’m eu
Yeah...
I did write a lot of feedback for tww rogue
Ngl they actually fixed a majority of what I complained about
It’s where mewo got the engineered frustration part of his name
I miss Nimble 🙁
This post aims to discuss the various frustrations of rogue design throughout The War Within. Tl;dr: Why does this class have so much intentionally designed frustration? I am primarily an assassination player with significant playtime on outlaw too this expansion. I haven’t played much subtlety this expansion due to reasons discussed below. ...
Warning, ts is mad long
i miss old nimble too
Y’know what I don’t miss
holy shit that's an essay lol
Old spatter activation, old cold blood, needing stealth to spread bleeds without it taking 10 million globals
Yeah, fuck old cold blood.
Infinite annoying shit they’ve done away with
Needless janky ass button that simply added an extra step to everything.
Unironically I think cold blood did more to make sub unapproachable than any other spell
I am overall very positive on the Rogue changes and almost all my major criticsm right now is: raid buff. posion toggle.
Cold blood in combination with flawless form peak aids
The core here is good. But we're still lacking parity with so many other classes, esp other mono DPS.
I’d say I’m neutral to positive, sub I’d say is the biggest miss for me gameplay wise
They pruned too much
yo why dont we care about apex sectec?
Sub just needs another button and our burst identity back, I think.
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
It doesn’t clone the whole spell
oh man
apex only copies phys portion of sectec, not clones which do the majoriy of the dmg
High5
equals out to apexing an evis iirc
Yeah
prob more in aoe
thats actually sad lol
Also forcing apex on first spender would be so annoying
it would require more pooling before dances for sure
I assume it's a technical limitation because SecTec does a phys hit then spawns two pets at .7 and 1.2? to then do damage which is also why the log attribution is there.
i seee
Because SecTec is, for some reason, still not designed as a single hit
thanks guys
Im fairly sure we’d immediately go to sectec 2nd finisher if you could apex full sectec
Yeah
it's interesting how 2 bugs help each other out here
we don't want to apex sectec because of bug, and we can avoid that by casting it 1st global in dance because premed blocks apex due to bug
Someday...
That can go on my list at point 4. I guess.
Rogue tank can go do down one
somehow it only took them one tier
i think it would still be 1st finisher or else it would make fitting 2nd sectec in blades harder
to create a void dh
I was going to say "Well, they made a boss and just re-used a lot of his assets" but, uh. Yeah. lmao.
Sub Queen animations when
Yep
Maybe they're worried that if they do it for Sub, the other two specs will be jealous
they scrapped most of outlaw's visual potential
is puzzle box better than guidon in M+?
@keen dome im actually surprised outlaw doesnt have a "cheat" cooldown
i.e force 3-4 buffs
on like a 3min cd
Yeah, that'd fit really well with the current identity as the highwayman / gambler style.
I guess it's because KIR exists, and that is sorttta? kinda? the same concept.
I guess if I had to write feedback on current rogue I’d bitch that they can’t design outlaw in a way where it’s inherently not dogshit by design + energy issues with keeping flurry up on like 2t is criminal + why did they remove precise cuts and keep the hard cap. Sub is just brainless and not fit to play for a long period in terms of fun + they still kept the classic headache sub gameplay in with frustrating haste interaction / hard cap bullshit. Oh and subs burst ain’t it atm, this falls under tuning too but they need to make sub cds top tier, sub can’t be this middle of the road burst spec, it actually isn’t right. Sin imo is the healthiest of the three, even if it really can’t do the whole burst aoe raid cleave thing, it has execute and funnel with good cds
cheating would be more thematic
It would
a healer that i was in a +12 with said that he hasnt been disappointed with rogue's dps whenever hes seen one
Sub really could do with one more button. Something to bring our burst identity back and an element you play around the entire fight. I've talked about it before but Prism buff built aroudn your Dances, etc. Just a little something and I think Sub'd be in an ideal spot.
when he gets low
The question would be how can they allow better burst while letting it be flexible (blizz’s mission statement, not mine) without breaking the spec
I think a Prism-like buff system where you store up a buff and can unleash it when you need. But I don't know how you'd balance this or how it would work out.
Wouldn’t KiR and prep both count as cheating?
Because Prism was fun and peak Sub to me.
Issue with prism is ur shit on pull
Perhaps it should be something like remaining out of combat or outside of dance gives you a buff to your next x
That was ultimately because of it being a trinket. I'd keep current design as it is. And then this is on top of it all.
X could be blades, dance, sectec
My idea is, say, if a boss has a damage amp like Saladbar. You pull as normal. You play as normal. But now you've got the option of popping this big buff during first or second damage amp to maximize it.
Say if every dance gave you, hypothetically, 1 stack. And each stack was +agi. And it lasted 10 seconds or something. And it capped at 10 or 15
So the Prism gameplay but baked into ths spec as our mega burst button that gives flexibility to our burst.
idk i don think prep suits outlaw
blizz needs to stop adding back dated shit that only caters to boomers
Prep would've fit TWW Sub so well
I still think the problem remains, every time you have something like this there’s a correct solution, unironically shadowdust would be what I want back but I get that people hate it
than other classes for some reason
imo rogue pre mop
was basically another class
You’re not wrong, all the OLs have been asking for is 2charge ADR, they’ll never get it though
There's always a correct solution and optimal time to do something with everything. Shadowdust would just be an excel sheet mapped out, etc.
Because we do love to optimise it all.
Shadowdust would be interesting on current Sub, though
But that’s where dust diverged

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 or
Icy Veins.
But there was still optimal design around when to use it.
Based on kill times in raid.
So it fits the mission statement, strong burst that is flexible
It'd go hard if they also made Dance a much stronger button with a longer cooldown too
Flag is pointless to bring back
Hey could just buff the number on blades / death perception
Ye
yeah i hated that button
I did not like Flag, but the concept behind flag isn't bad since it's effectively the same idea of Prism
i honestly wish theyd make gloomblade or goremaws bite something usable
flag when it did damage
Remember when it was haste
which is ironic now I guess
Cosmos neck does nothing though
But I would like GLoomblade
Purple backstab is the better backstab
I think dust would be perfect now since flag is gone and cds align better....would be not toxic tobplay around anymore...or prep...but sth for flexibility
I didn’t mind flag back when obedience was a thing
Modern flag is lame though
Idk why flag never felt as good as kingsbane despite arguably being the same thing
I think the biggest thing dust solves is the awkwardness with non cdr sectec, before we’d get it back to send again in cds - now we’re barely managing with a tierset that is made to let you fit 2 in cds
lol hell no
they both do tiny dmg
Maybe if shadowdust only applied to sectec?
Yeah but gloomblade is purple so he's right
Just make it so SecTec has no CD and is just useable in dance once.
Like Dance gives SecTec a charge
I’m fairly sure we do a ton of instances of shadow dmg anyways
how about dance+sectec
Hi, is it worse to macro dance/shadowblades and sectech (trinkets and pots) in one macro for opener?
Why is keepsake simming so damn high in all situations, when bloodmallet shows it as a dog trinket? I cant find any sim trinket setting, does it assume party with same trinket or something
Then I would like fuus solution more with shot in the dark like sectech
I did ask for this a while back, before they revealed current design
Ye
It still wouldn’t solve this haste situation
I think we've all asked for it at one time or another 'cos it's such a clean way to design the interaction
They need a better solution than what they gave us
It wouldn't solve it, but ti would make it smoother imo.
haha
Lust doesn’t necessarily feel good even
12.1 tier set is going to be 2 charges of SecTec, quote me if I'm right
HUGE
Goin home, smoking the fattest J then passing out, girl coming sat night so it’s lit
Security atm, lovely building
Hell yeah, I was right
Here’s the spooky music always on cafeteria - walking into this shit at midnight in a deathly silent building is a meme
And somewhere is written Redrum in blood? creepy
well it's a cafateria so I assume ketchup
There’s some weird parts of the building
there is this advice on wowhead. i do not have the light company guidon but the Emberwing Feather. 4 set obv. should i still hold the second dance in blades?
685 haste with flask atm
If u can fit a second ST I would say yes
i have 700 haste too, but the way cds come, i never use shadow dance without sectech. Is this right or wrong?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
it’s right
i see in the aoe sim, once in a while it presses it alone, very rarely but it does
maybe during blades ?
yeah but if i do that during blades i dont get dance with a sectech, i tried it yesterday
I think it’s because sec tec will be up in a few second
With 700 haste and guidon u have 2 sec tec during blades if u delay Ue second danse
so its not posible to fit a 3 dance?
No
You guys Play Companion or Puzzle Box in m+
And I got 20% Haste so normally I dont need more
am i crazy for wanting to craft this? https://i.imgur.com/jv4qzMy.png
do we ever use slice and dice in a trash pull?
already have dagger and belt of course, and not clearing mythic cosmos
would see if pvp neck and other craft would be better
also if youre all 6/6 hero items, just spending crests on myth items from vault might be better instead of craft
Just bake ST in SD, Symbols in SD, Blades in SD, let SD transform into Shadowstrike on use. Remove all our buttons. Do it Lizzard, do it

I would consider other options since haste have à cap
I maybe consider crit masteries ring
But ring it’s kinda not s hard to get in m+ so I would rather consider neck or other craft in my opinion
Guys, why is it mandatory to have ~18% haste?
Cause because of Sec Tech bug, you don't get extra finisher after it and it turns out that extra second of Shadow Dance is spent on shadowstrike or suriken storm.
As I see it you usually get smth like this:
0:00 - start of dance + Sec Tech
1:00 - shadow strike/ suriken storm
2:00 - finisher
3:00 - finisher
4:00 - shadow strike/ suriken storm
5:00 - finisher
6:00 - finisher
7:00 - shadow strike/ suriken storm
And then shadow dance ends before you hit another finisher.
So basically you usually only get extra combo generator during shadow dance for the price of ~640 stat
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
You want 684-700 haste, just about
Gives you some leeway
There is a hero track haste mastery neck from PvP so I would craft this right now
do we play heal reduction poison in some keys ?
I think some sub rogues play wound poison on the first packs in Seat, but generally not really
i think there are cases in MC too, but haven't looked into it
Tereace on the big boys that heal maybe, too
Personally, if the key is high enough to matter, i'd be playing Assa, and if I play assa, im not playing Wound poison

Yes? Passively, but yes.
true the prio you deal compared to sub probably negates the wound poison
the only time you think about snd is on the first pull or if snd has dropped
you can cast 1 evis during gather before going into cds
You also do coup procs macroed, so youll get it passively in mega aoe
Sometimes, I SnD between packs before my cp start dropping
Yes thats also a small minmax
But it honestly doesent matter during omega fingerblast cd pop
it honestly doesn't really do much haha, just extends your snd and gives less chance for it to fall off for whatever reason if there's a delay
i just really like doing the 1 evis during gather
if only CTTC procced off every finisher
Insert bring back swirly ball picture
Deffo, but thats not happing a lot
i always evis so i have no idea how often it happens tbh haha
wait that's stupid
nvm
i'm actually brain dead
was troubleshooting something and my brain is completely fried right now


My morning routine is to argue in trade with the worst people. It keeps me sharp.
That's what high end raiding is, right? You work on the muscle memory so you don't have to think
Me press button good in row
Patterns, repetition, same-same, no-different, brain happy
Tank moves differently one pull = 
Bossman say he angry I no step out fire, but bossman don’t know I click cloak of shadow, hehe bossman silly
Me got good 2 dagger, me maybe stab boss try
Stab boss good but no forget hug egirl emote many time too
I think it's clear why we are the least played class

9 out of the 10 highest rated sub rogues are using box it seems
TRUE
that's why i think it's so important for people to put a lot of time into learning their spec inside and out and being able to play it under pressure
because if you don't
when the pressure hits
you can't function
not enough people hit dummies
and it really shows
acutally
one really big one is lura
what is there to practice this season though
like can I see the sectech and shadow dance cd coming down?
press them both at the same time
wow
such complexity
i am fucking blown away
after doing log review for someone
apparently a lot
also all specs are easier now
and sure you can look
but you also kinda get a feel of when things are going to happen
but the same people who were struggling before with their rotations in my raid guild
the more you play
are still struggling
makes me think it's less to do with how hard rotations are
and it's more so putting the spec into practice on a fight
like when to send stuff/hold/uptime/etc etc
I def agree this takes time, but what spec doesn't? my point is that this is about as barebones as complexity gets, no?
for sure yeah
How do folks go about using puzzle box mid encounter/key?
i think there is a lot of cumbersome stuff happening with sub that adds complexity tbh
