If you’re not progressing this week, I’d wait for reset to see what is in vault, and how much more we value crit.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
For keys? Generally dslice.
was actually thinking about this
crit might go up
with my setup i have a lot of crit so i'm chilling 😉
You can drop the current trickster talent and see the impact it has on crit.
how much more cloud cover impacts it tbd!
how much is the cloud cover change for sub?
Check back later.
!guidon
Trickster Shadow Blades Optimization:
During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back. This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.
why she kinda

i think i saw a number floating around like +3-4%
and makes trickster in line with 1100 haste DS
but unclear
1100 haste yay
Reread it
I think i am playing guidon wrong, i tend to full send at the start, then wait to dance+sectec (2nd dance charge) rather than dancig right after the fiirst dance ends
But most logs i see, just send back to back
makes me die inside
Are you waiting the 1s for deepening to update on pull after pushing Guidon?
Lust is dance vanish dance and it’ll be SC on both sectechs
Yeh i have a seperate bind for trinket before dancing
Then it's probably what Scath is saying, then
Outside or that you delay 2nd dance a bit to have last 8 seconds of blades covered
As the command explains.
Ah i think i was delaying too much
I kept delaying until i could dance+sectec insta with the supercharged
that's too long to delay
just aim to have dance fit in the last 8 secs of blades
and then hit sectec as soon as it comes up
don't need to worry about supercharging 2nd sectec
Right thats my mistake
i kept making sure the second sectec was always supercharged with a dance right at the end of the blades window
i do see top logs delaying dance slightly longer to get sectec supercharged
but the diff is small
I see the opposite
That's a fair mistake since it goes against a lot of muscle memory, but once you get comfy with it it's very natural
I just went through several on say vorasius and they seem to not care about supercharged at all
yeah it's a lot safer not trying to supercharge sectec
oh wait i see it
maybe pulled agro
let me find another
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/N8PRbWCMp96Q3Dzw?fight=13&type=casts&source=5&view=timeline this seems more like what you were saying
a picture tells a thousand words ahh
regarding the vanish in between
That’s the your raid member with puzzlebox pulled you out of stealth special.
lol nice
he also gets sectec supercharged in his opener
with lust rolling
OH this is charrend hahaha
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That should be easy
now i hope you get guidon 😉
so you have to drop that haste
i hate blizzard (i'm keltazard)
cleared heroic and it still didn't drop 🙂
maybe in mythic tomorrow in pug
i'm kind of with you, still stuck with a normal guidon
yeh i was checking guys i know read here a lot and are good
yeah charrend is a legend
i also made the mistake of raiding leading as a melee so i either blast or just hand holdtoo much
But i realised that the interaction with guidon just seemed odd so ill just send 2nd dance with 8s to go in blades and then send sectec under blades rather than always trying to supercharge
did not notice
yeh i was just looking at when they pressed dance and sectec, not opener conditions
i assume he's evising first there because of DN
i dont wanna use normal guidon
normal guidon is all i have
it's not so bad! (kind of)
i have a hero puzzle
but i really don't wanna use it
guidon feels better
i only use puzzle on sin
i took the myth track guidon on my paladin from vault
becuase i kinda felt like i had to
LOL nice
even though its bin for ret/prot
this is why we precast puzzle box
(ive never used it)
The good news is the value of the extra haste does diminish going from fully upgraded normal to heroic
true did hear something about the majority of the trink's power is at champ track kinda
and again from heroic to mythic.
We need x haste all the time

the trinket haste just helps during blades

Mythic trinket is just a flex. 
when we start doing item upgrades i expect it won’t be a priority.
Wallahi i pugged chimmy cuz im benched
i gave up the trinket for 750k
We take those
still kinda homeless trinket wise but i got the bag
you got fleeced
Did i
easy 2 milly
brokies in group
nah poker faces
Still need reclear this week. Had no internet yesterday 
Last week I lost trinket roll with a 91
(five people rolled over 95, winner 99)
is there a gain in delaying 2nd dance charge slightly more so its not the last 8 seconds of blades (non opener scenario), as the sim seems to pop second dance charge under blades with about 5 seconds left to ensure sectec is supercharged
thank you, will do that now
As DS why do we wanna macro dance with shuriken storm?
yep that fixed it
Hello, would it be possible to make a macro to redirect the threat to the tank without having to select the character with the cursor? Thank you
You know guys I was just wasting my time reading the rogue us forum. Can someone tell me if this Mafic guy is just a troll or a paid Blizzard troll? This guy has 0 knowledge, 0 IO, 0 anything and tells everyone in every thread how fine rogue is.
!tricks
PoS m11 with haste flask, man can't wait to get haste breakpoint with gear, I miss mastery flask

My dps always weirdly high in PoS tho, I guess cause of so many targets
He's a very interesting poster who is passionately wrong about rogue.
That guy is just an obvious troll who obsessively hates rogue to the point of pretending to play it just to troll the forums or something
@keen dome he seems like a mental ill guy or a troll
🏄♀️
Nah, not at all. I think he just plays WoW in a very specific way and doesn't have perspective outside of it. And is a prolific poster.
he does literally nothing in game and has hundreds of thousands of posts worth of opinions on rogue
I don't get why blizz don't ban these poeple
He is in this discord by the way can we ban him with the surf emoji?
Friday+sunshine+monster peak life time to deplete all the 17s availible
No go search for him in the members
Wait he's actually here
I wouldn’t call someone mafic that’s insulting
Hell yeah, time to play WoW
Maybe don't harass random people on the internet
@thick jasper
I live for this feeling
🏄♂️🏄♀️
Sounds like you should be a discord mod
It's raining and gloomy here, but thankfully i have to go to work soon.
I love rain and depressing weather
Hell yeah
nah just leave him alone, he's extremely annoying but doesn't deserve to get bullied
My workplace has these rad glass roofs so when it rains, it's just awesome to hear / see.
I think he is harassing people with his posts 😂
Once im older i deffo want to move somewhere with poopoo weather
Like london or smthin
Oregon type beat
Hell yeah, we've got the best bad weather in London.
Except it's also horribly warm
I mean it gets pretty hot here where i live during summer like 39c
oh god I'd fucking die
20c is too hot for me
Its 21 outside rn
too hot
with a light breeze
One thing to note about the UK is we do not have air conditioning at all as standard. And all of our housing is typically built to keep heat in so summer is miserable and actively feels worse than say, somewhere with better infrastructure to handle heat.
you're not, we talk about him all the time in here lol
So a 30c in the UK is probably worse than somewhere built to actually handle it.
Isnt it worse also because its pretty humid
Yeah
But yea that sucks
Humidity sucks a ton
!trinket
Ya maybe I don’t see it cause im Blind or overread that haha
whats the command for guidon agian?
!guidon

Btw give me back my 15% pre Nerf and Prio Dmg, cause i hate to play assa in high keys
and do we use guidon on start of the shadowblade setup? or do we just send it with guidon?
I use it just before mobs grouped
Lets say in raid
Oh then yeah
First ss from stealth i press trinket
Instantly after SS
I've been trying to do it faster myself after one another
But kinda don't wanna pull early with SS lmao

well i prob have to much haste since i am at 21% with buffs

I recommend looking at the raw number, not the %. It's more helpful in providing help and discussing it. Some races contribute % that isn't then applied to deepening.
i have 727
Ur gucci
yeah i just read the pin
Then you are comfortably over the amount needed if you've also got Guidon. 700 is the 'sweet' spot (or 684 without oils)
I need to cook up my gear somehow so i can use mastery flask
with oils i am at 759
Nexus rigns + Alleria neck is pretty comfy for haste.
so i am prob a bit scuffed actually 🙂
You could drop 59 haste yeah. But being over isn't a huge deal
subtlety do low damage (“精妙”专精的伤害较低) get 700 haste from stats (通过属性面板获取 700 点急速) perecent does not matter (百分比数值并不重要) robot needs less haste than dad with 3 kids (机器人所需的急速比那位带着三个孩子的“老爸”要少)
enjoy bench (“老爸”要少)
Just recraft to crit mastery
ill do a gem swap
Kinda scuffed situation
maybe slap in a tiny bit of verse
I have the Platinum star band mythic ring + myth neck from salad
Oh, ye, harder to swap there
I am using omission though
Versa doesn't do a whole lot for us anymore, sadly. Just stack the mastery crit.
i miss taking 0 damage
same

press feint
I do be pressing ts it just doesnt hit the same
i want the dr. i am rather dying allot in my 16's and i am onlyt 250 verse. so i wont be to much off having a little bit lesst crit
I admire the approach, but I'm not sure the Versa is going to make much of a difference on top of all our other DR's we have.
Idk what i could swap (ignore paladins ring and trinket its m+ setup)
well i do allot of rot dmg since i spent allot of time in seat when boosting
race change to dorf
but is it necessary to download the addon or is the macro alone enough?
Maybe, yeah. I mean it's worth trying but I personally don't imagine it's going to make much of a difference.
but is it necessary to download the addon or is the macro alone enough?
It’s an addon. There is no macro
Not sure i dont use it
it prob wont. but then i cant tell my healer teammate that i am doing the things to not die and he should start to git gud 🙂
I only want the macro to redirect to the tank without an addon
Hell yeah
You know what else keeps you alive? Killing things faster.
Scath with the truth bomb
its all about that ego check
i am how ever noticing my extend button dont work. so i need to make a new macro
f
Google it. The addon works very well which is why it’s recommended.
there’s a number of ways to “macro” it and you have to find which you want since they all impact other things like focus targets differently
Do you guys swap talents ob fights to pad meters or mostly focus on useful damage?
I'm lazy so I never swap talents unless it's something like swapping atro for numbing on chim
context matters. certain talents are more important in mythic so it’s recommended taking them vs say heroic where you can run the st/cleave(lulz) build everywhere
Hello guys. Is there a way to pre-cast a macro containing a non-gcd spell and a gcd spell, but making both spells cast when both can be..
Exemple: the macro dance+sectec: if i pre-cast it, the sectec will be sent when the gcd will be available, but the dance will be sent when i press the pre-cast
no
so i will waste a portion of a gcd under dance as my next gcd spell has to wait that the sectec gcd is gone
nope
Off GCD is literally instant cast
so it's not possible to do a perfect rotation
then i guess it's better to not pre-cast this macro
it’s possible. Just don’t rely on trying to one button it
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/cast [@focus,help] Tricks of the Trade
!tricks
and that kills your focus kick 
i used to use tricks on focus, it's really not great to lose the ability to focus target
having and using a focus is a game changer
especially in keys
The addon is light weight and perfect. Can Swap between tanks on raid easily.
raid it's not a big deal because you can just make specific focus macros for your tanks
with their names
it’s almost like there’s a reason we recommend it. 
the tricks addon i use will default to tricksing the first tank alphabetically in raid
on macro press
Imagine just not hitting tricks keybind 1 or kb2 depending on the tank.
lol true
or 3
/cast [@party1] Tricks of the Trade (ask your leader party to put tank as leader), or play with "So tricky" as trickster.
In The case of dragons
Or use the addon and hit tricks keybind 1 
Felt like using tricks on raid sometimes lead to fails of swap tank agro during some fights.
if that’s happening your tanks are bad
no more automarker addons so no need
or automarker WAs i should say
we can’t redirect that much
can happen
some fights i legit don't tricks any tank
I'll tricks during Chim intermission and that's it
so they can't accuse me of tricksing the wrong person when they mess up aggro lol
tricks mostly matters for on pull
in raid
or if adds are gonna come out and a specific tank needs to get aggro
but i don't think we have any of those fights this tier
With aoe blind coming back, just spec into the reduced dmg instead of tricks 
Hell yeah
I do not have suicidal tendencies
If you are ripping aggro as Sub then your tank is terrible
Or you are playing it in a very strange way
how else am i supposed to give my aggro to the augvoker
i casted almost no black powders on the overgrown ancient in AA and it felt pretty nice, just shuriken storm/evisc whenever outside dance
valid
Just spec assa for m+ in 16+ keys for easy funnel and aoe pump

did 11.6 mil in 2:30 to the overgrown ancientt
TRUE FUCK AUG LET THEM DIE
the only good aug is a dead aug
well think about these few seconds during Blades when you spam storm + powder 14 mobs without being under dance, cuz you delay it for the 4p+guidon thing, cant you get agro at this moment ?
i don't hate DKs though
Don't spam spells doing zero damage while the tank gathers. Just auto, imo
but the combo of being invincible, doing good dmg and having irreplacable utility in grips
is a massive combo
i hate them
the only spec/class i don't hate is spriest
because being a priest is just suffering in general
Does raidbots account for us wanting to have 800 haste unless we have guidons? Because I've seen some top gear/droptimizer results where it has me at like 700-750 haste, while I have haste/mastery rings also as an available option that would bring me slightly above the 800 haste
Or is there anyway in top gear I could put stat weights like "must have 800 haste"
then it'll show me my best loadout?
i just posted this screenshot to the priests in my guild

because they make it a sport to lifegrip me to death on every boss
bro i played a priest briefly for half a season
and holy shit it is just a miserable experience
NOT A BOUGHT CE BTW
you know it's bad when whenever there's a boss with forced movement to blow people off platforms you have to dedicate rescues to the priests
/cast [@party1] Tricks of the Trade (ask your leader party to put tank as leader), or play with "So tricky" as trickster. in tank ?
to "hey we need a priest for jailer"
You can’t droptimizer.
Raidbots will get you close to the breakpoints but usually slightly under. You can us AP stones instead of oils to try to balance out “human” timings.

wait ignore the last one
i need to make one for skyfury as well
So what I have atm is (with haste flask)
- 828 haste
- 590 crit
- 600 mastery
Just feels weird because I have two haste/mastery rings, but I see most people going for one haste/mastery ring and then a high crit ring
glorious wall of text

Once I get Guidon's though I'm thinking I'll probably drop one of the haste/mastery rings then and go for a high crit ring
Also kinda weird seeing these number breakdowns on archon, not seeing anyone at 700-800 haste
There is no bis list. There is no copying gear loadouts. There’s get to haste breakpoint and go from there.
Literally same fucking gear set. Just recrafts.

Haha
are you fine buddy
brother i main a rogue. what do you think
when you are on the bench what else is there to do
about 80kg
you're also missing intellect in that btw
Does anyone have a picture of sub getting a 99log and still getting gapped on dmg by a green log hunter
don't need it.
I cannot find it
surely you just go through any paladin log
look at any paladins log
have a rank 1 log

literally getting hard gapped by a gray parsing frost mage
isnt that a * log
or 2 augs without their attributed dmg
there's 30 parses rn
i see 44 mythic parses
that kill is from yesterday
i dont even think i wanna be in for that fight
for reference if i do the rank 1 sub dmg on paladins as sin i royally messed up the rotation or died
Type shit
just use inky black potion
it's a massive cheat code for that fight
surprised not a lot of people know about it
makes the ground have contrast with the shields and hammers
saladbar throwback
no i just dont like the fight(on HC)
The main difficulty of Paladins is not throwing yourself out of the window as a melee
lol true
Whoever designed that fight must have gotten cheated on by a melee player
that's kinda this entire tier
Yeah, but that one was a "eff you in particular"
Kind of the cherry on the cake of the entire Voidspire
Their hors d'oeuvre of melee hatred 
feels especially unfair given how melee unfriendly M+ is every single season
i think it would be fine if that stress on melee uptime was reflected in dmg output
it's a weird situation
just hope this is a one off and not the beginning of a trend
Watched leak play and he said it was one of the least fun fights he has ever done as melee
Then said that the single night of prog on CoC felt awful and that he was already missing paladin prog
lol yup
i hear terrible things about alleria
At least lura looks aight for melee
Haven't even gotten to CoC on mythic but it already felt like the worst fight by far on heroic
all those issues are compounded on mythic it looks like
Yep
esp when they make these spread cleave fights
It's tempting to go off my hunter nad onyo my priest for it but it's both less geared than my hunter and we already have 3 priests
Or just play ranged as a hunter
MM? Gross
I mean depending on how things go some people are saying MM is being murdered next week
Seems confirmed in terms of enjoyment, but idk about viability
people might just be dooming
- SVs getting a buff
Unsure on the exact numebrs but i'd guess maybe like
5% in both ST and AoE at least?
wtffffff
!tricks
Trusting anything out of the hunter leader is lulz
I
didn't get that from the hunter leaders?
That's my own estimate
I said I'd Guess
Not they'd guess
you silly goober
and im probably less reliable
So there's that
considering most guesses are just regurgitated discord takes, it was a safe assumption. 
cheers
no tfd tracking still yea?

I'm afraid of the upcoming "realz is typing..."
Question: recently I’ve been noticing an issue with my GCD. I’m averaging 45 APM with 20% haste which feels like my casts are lagged out. Apparently having hold to cast ruins the GCD que? I should be pushing 60+ Casts per minute, right?
After they realize that they accidentally buffed us by more than they had intended
The html report from a sim will break down expected casts / apm

12.0.5 Update to Trickster
With 12.0.5 we have had a rework of Cloud Cover and it is very strong. What it does is that once you cast
Shadow Blades you will drop a decently large smokescreen underneath your feet, and while inside it or for 10 seconds after leaving it all of your attacks (including autos and nimble flurry) will apply Fazed, and it will stack up to 3 times.
When mobs have 3 stacks on them all the Fazed buffing effects in the trickster tree are tripled, which means +24% damage done, +150% critical strike damage on generators and -15% damage taken.
Because of this powerful effect there's some new recommendation for talents to utilize the large additional burst during Shadow Blades, most of which center around leveraging the massive crit damage of
Shadowstrike or
as they hit VERY hard when they crit. These are the talent swap we are looking at with some explanation as to why:
For both singletarget and AoE:
- No Scruples -> Cloud Cover: While 10% critical strike chance on finisher is good, this new Cloud Cover talent is way better.
- Warning Signs -> Planned Execution: These are very close, but Planned Execution provides better burst during Shadow Blade windows while Warning Signs performs better during the non-blades Shadow Dances.
- Premeditation -> Ephemeral Bond/Quick Decisions: This might seem very strange as the replacement talents provide no DPS, but due to the way the first Ancient Arts works you cannot proc any shadow clones from a Shadowstrike with Premeditation up, and with how much damage the Shadowstrikes and the accompanying clones are doing its just more worthwhile to skip the extra combo points and opt for the chance of a big clone Shadowstrike instead. This leads to the opener being pretty cursed, where you just backstab until 7 cp.
For ST only:
- Finality -> The Rotten: Because the Shadowstrikes hit so hard buffing two of them by 35% is very strong. This is a feasible swap you can do in dungeons too if you want slightly more Singletarget damage at the cost of some AoE.
Since Cloud Cover is not buffing Shadowstrike damage, but only the critical strike damage, we are suddenly a lot more interested in critical strike as a stat, to the point where we prioritize it over mastery in ST once we have gotten the appropriate amount of Haste. It is not a disaster if you still have a lot of mastery, but you might want to steer towards getting some additional crit.
Overall the talent is exceptionally strong and the way the numbers currently look it puts Subtlety back up there with some of the highest burst in the game, which is a niche we have had in the past and something i think most are very excited about getting back to. For some rough numbers on how strong the talent is:
- ST: +5-6%, with more damage concentrated into blades, so the burst window is around 20-25% stronger.
- AoE: +~6%, not as much of an increase to burst as on Singletarget but the burst is ~15% or so stronger.
Heres the talent builds:
Single-target

Too much yapping so ran out of space for more fancy icons, it is what it is.
nice


what's the diff between PE and warning signs?
Basically nothing
import for the AoE one says out of date
Sub got buffed
ok tight
Assuming Assa or out didn’t get buff? I’ll check rq
Well its from the PTR
ST one works for some reason
gotta be funny on the nexus point boss where everything crits
So that a buff am i right?
If you read through it youll find out
Cool
indirectly buffed through a new talent
i'll take it
AND NO DS
everything's chill
I’m shocked outlaw got a buff aswell tbh
i assume this does nothing to help us with paladins though
They usually forget it
implying they don’t forget rogue in general
Also funny reading the notes for outlaw being positive and then it goes
“However this is infinitely less enjoyable”
Opener is very cursed without premed though
win win
they ahve to play trickster now which blows
but it'll be better now
I’m just crossing my fingers they don’t buff MM
only in st tho
If you don’t lust pull it is so so bad especially
So SV can have some potential in the spotlight
strike>backstab>backstab>cds
Ye
@hazy breach ty for write up. Is the cloud cover auto dropped or does it still need to be cast? Haven’t gotten on ptr yet.
auto drop
Wasn’t cloud cover the talent that they wanted to make distract into or smth
I swear there used to be smoke bomb with trickster
Haven’t checked in forever
sounds better
Nop
vanish doesnt give premed eiher
You would meld
I imagine vanish in blades is good
what if you use blades pre pull
Yes, thats the talent that got reworked
Oh fair
Then youre not gonna get 2nd sectech in it most of the time
rate the opener without lust on pull
or well, with BL sure
that makes me physically sick
when does .5 drop
ye, that was my thought
is beta robot working enough to mess around with sims?
if anyone using default Personal Resource bar, I've created addon to highlight finisher threshold at 6cp+, check https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/enhanced-combo-points (works for 5+ on sin)

So wait did they give trickster huge buffs and then went do DS and said
“Haha, mark move”
can't even vanish every blades so i imagine it's not a huge deal
The difference between backstab and vanish is bigger than 25% on strike
DS got QoL and new haste threshold was a good gain to it
Ds will be good i think
how’s that work for hunters mark
I mean enjoyment wise not playstile wise
Well I mean sentinel has that mechanic and has been unplayable for SV due to a bug and has been insane due to a bug on MM, both would be fixed by it being a buff instead of a debuff
So they should just stop with mark based hero trees
they try to balance fantasy and actually playing. The fantasy is mark the target. Not omg Im an enraged rogue
I understand that, but I feel like flavour should not be prioritised instead of gameplay to the degree it is for those
I shouldn’t be unable to play sent because they want it to have cool flavour
Instead of making it functional
flavor should be prioritized and figuring out the gameplay around it should follow suit. That doesn’t mean there won’t be disconnects in design or implementation. Mark on the rogue is bad flavor and the implementation was poorly done.
both is important
the specs need identity
you want abilities that look nice
That’s true
And ideally we would have both
and feel meaningful to use
I’d rather this not be rogue flavor and they try stuff like mark
just listen to the fucking feedback
I mean this is excellent news, opener is giga cringe but getting our burst niche back is literally best news I got all xpac
oh shit pin is out
And today sub rogue 10% buff

surely it’s time for Tea to smooth out opener. 
Should I level my lizzardoker
?
I'll may switch to this when i'll be tired of my personal addon: a simple small opaque gray rectangle placed over the 5first points of the combo point bar n_n . Less than 40 lines of lua code.
how much loss is taking premed ?
less than a %
is there stgh else than Thalassian Phoenix Oil ? I have 699 haste without it.
Stat prio now with the new patch becomes Crit>Mastery?
Gang this shadowstrike based burst im reading in the pins is so cursed
The implication is clear surely
sub and sin will have very similar stat priorities now right?
subtlety is:
- around 700 haste
- rest in mastery/crit
Hard to say, subs aoe is mastery based while if I’m reading this right it’s st is based on shadowstrike then mastery won’t be good at
you will still need to hit haste breakpoint
sin is basically mostly crit
to like 40% or over
That haste point is what m+ assa people play I tryed assa yesterday
im ready, just push it
is crit so much better that i beat mastery in aoe ?
or not that much better
mastery will still be very good in aoe because of PP
my goat macro'd the l'ura b uttons to the stream deck to press them there 😂
and storm doesn't do massive dmg relative to strike in ST
what happens if you press them?
It's for mythic so the northern sky pack puts them in the graph that they made
Like what echo/liquid had
They should just make it like combo points except you don’t spend them on abilities they just cycle like they do as the debuff
curious if this puts plume over gaze for desired trinket
Its still get either of them
fair, was just thinking with the bonus roll tokens coming out next week i'll hve to make a decision on which of those two bosses to burn them on 🙂
oh does this change apex optimization at all during blades
Let me strike every time
i assume not
All the clones
hey so with the changes to the 12.0.5, in aoe situations, with cloud and during SB, will we be using SS instead of shurikens?
Supercharger? I hardly know her.
No
whats the pro/cons of sub/assa on myth belo prog?
well come cloud cover sub is gonna be much better on belo now
Sub is fun. Assa is dumb.
what I wanna know is how will this affect our rotation lol
like much much better
It doesnt, if it did the pins wouldve mentioned it
Or well, losing premed makes the opener cursed
But thats it
i assume it's now even worse to try to go into dance at low cp
no weird target count changes with ss in aoe? cos I lowkey expected that 🤔
Well storm and strike do the same damage as they did before
ty for the pin eleem!
storm still gens more CP
than strike
Storm does good damage too
when they stay relatively the same and cloud cover buffs them the same nothing would change
This is likely just a "sim" it position but is there any indication if it is worth switching a bunch of crafts over to haste crit from haste mastery?
So no need to do stgh like Blades + storm + powder + storm (to get 3 fazed buff) before starting the burst ?
probably yeah
depends on how much crit your sim will want
so we still bp on 2+ and storm on 2+ outside of dance? strike on 1-2 inside dance?
Right, i suppose mast>crit for AOE still though if you are taking PP
on ST can start using crit flask instead of mast too
that's an easy swap
+165 crit right there

is the other thalassian diamond gem better with these 12.0.5 changes? 🤔
no
So like everyone else here my RL bullys me becouse i play Rogue and i dont parse good. Anyone have some pointers that im doing wrong or is it just becouse of low pad or is it something else im missing for higher parse?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/hcHbN8mFZdQCV79Y?fight=11&type=damage-done&source=2
I may be misunderstanding, if its all attacks, in an AOE situation after popping SB, would you not want to insta sectec so that you can get the 2 stacks of fazed up on every mob in the area? so something like "SB>Dance>BP>SS>Sectec
Sorry forgot about the interaction with nimble, makes sense
yes but if i instant use the macro Blades + Dance + Sectec, can all the mobs will have the 3 stacks of fazed debuff before the sectec is thrown ?
Yes
yeye I get that just thought there might be some sort of a "ss up to 5 targets" change or idk
I guess time will tell
alright then
Both shuriken and strike are buffed by the exact same amount here
So theres nothing that would favor strike more than storm compared to before
Use !log
If anything its actually the opposite, as storm has additional crit chance
But its not impactful enough
oh I see
Oh sorry
i just realized outlaw is about to become invincible again
I need to re-read our spec tree lol
60% cloud cover uptime
!log
does the cloud have a defensive component? or is just the faze % dmg
do BIS trinkets change? is crit plume suddenly better than gaze?
thats nice
outlaw now has 15% DR up 60% of the time
don't even joke lad
that means there needs to be a small BF nerf 
gotta prep my bonus rolls 😂
I’d maybe play some outlaw again if blizzard brings back WAs
i think you literally just swap mast flask to crit
and that'll be it
and a few pieces of gear
I think ill just wait for the new apl to be on the sim then run a few sims with recrafts on my mast haste items to see how worth it the switch on stats is
hi guys can you help me identify what am i doing wrong?

Eleem do you think this will be enough to pass / match assa on paladins
man... is assa rly something to strive towards matching?
Well paladin are pure assa boss now
been a few days since I looked but p sure paladins are a no rogue boss rn KEKW
strike and storm get both buffed by the cloud talent regarding dmg ?
It’s always a good day when you wake up to Rogue BUFFS 🎉
nvm i did not read the pin correctly
20-25%… holy…
I’m so glad I didnt reroll (not that I would anyway)
Did we get buffed?
Nope, I was lucky I didnt get benched, but during soak I was placed in a far right one, so I had like 20% downtime total.
Who cares, got the kill, thats important.
I have been in paladins only so far, am I cooked?
your group might be
idk I gladly sit that for an arms warrior he does double my dmg and I get to play the actually fun bosses in his place KEKW
well after these nerfs it prob rly doesn't matter, just rly sad to see rogue do tank numbers is all
Is the trinket factored into the 700 haste breakpoint? If we don’t have the trinket or won’t be able to get it should we aim for higher haste?
I called the bench myself, but they respect me because I rarely die or get hit by shields/hammers.
always player>class 100%
Exactly I was just above my Guardian tank😂 120k overall
Assa tho, not sub
I might send assa tbh
Parsed 8
But yeah as I said, I was doing the far soak so I wasnt in melee during soaks.
With haste flask, it ain't that bad
it increases our burst, which is good
!fuu

Nice that crit becomes better. Means swapping between sub and sin will be easy.

i hope they do not change the interactions because another 25% to our burst was pretty much one of my explicit asks 
I hope it makes sub more wanted for beloran, been benched for paladins and crown
You already want sub for beloren
Rogue is ok on Bel your guild should paly
but it does make it way stronger yes
You hitting 350k next week lmao?
idk i need to run some stuff but i think 400 is possible
it depends
because you're mega prestacking SC you do the apex optimization for like 16s straight
now those strikes have 150% crit damage
like this is already the sequence
now imagine you're doing 16% more damage and all those strikes do giga crit damage
you still get it in that second dance and its supercharged because you have so many SC and are doing the optimization
The optimization is basically just sending dances and striking and stacking SC right?
yeah you're gonna do healer damage in p1 but its ok
How do you get details to always show your damage?
Thanks
Where is the optimisation when you don't shoot to the top?
If the raid needs 2 phases anyway i rather blast p1 too
If i don't get the first soak i was top 5 dmg
our guild historically struggles a bit with damage checks
I mean not optimizing is like what -100k to egg so on reset you might do 300k instead of 400k
but everyone will be looking at egg damage LOL
we wiped a few times to the rebirth cast going off and it was not a good look on the damage to those eggs
you get exactly 1 finisher cast after the 40s mark
so i saved it to sectec the last set of add eggs
our comp also isn't particularly bursty
i think its correct to sac my p1 damage for egg burst but it's probably not universally true
You are missing something in P1 if you are at this dps waiting for eggs to spawn
Idk what but something is wrong
I know
the talent build is also mega cooked for outside blades damage
what is that cringe yellow bar, is that gcd ?
it's an approximation of the guidon refresh timer
thats crazy
i dont think i will do anything of you doing when i get to egg
becasue im on paladins now 😄
can you show egg burst dmg
Eggs is alright as long as you don't have a cooked comp
with all the stuff you are doing
By the time my guild gets to egg we will have so many buff stacks and gear that holding on bird will probably be required
damn so you sacrife everything and not even top egg
meh frost isnt particularly bursty
Nvm comp cooked
ye
whats timer of egg on mythic
if we were easily gonna make the check id just play more p1 damage
do you get to pop on pull?
cool
You want to pop at 22-25s when birds spawn
alleria opener is cool too
Minmax parse
you might want to hold second p1 if your comp is cooked
such a good ring from next week
nicu
nice weekly
when the aug was introduced i played till i got leggendary
it felt kinda fun to play in keys
akward in raids
you can only ever have 2 prescience out now so it's much nicer
anyone know the guidon icon name?
Rog isnt THAT bad for keys
Rip
rogue has no utility lmao
Aoe blind next reset 🙂
same still applies
7636709
Now if they made cloud cover apply to 5 nearest targets
The damage reduction it gives would go hard
and it wouldn't fix the issue of no lust
sub feels soooo op rn
It starts to feel shit in 17's
aka where I got to on my rogue
because you begin to notice the cracks in the comp we had
Outlaw might be actually insane in keys next week
so it kinda made a lot of sense for me to reroll 🙂
hpala 😄
i saw ppl run monk
rdruid is bonkers though
and guardian
do we get that stuff which upgrade our weapon/trinket next week?
yes
i got the vault gaze in right time
im prob gonna be on dev or aug
are those upgrades weekly capped
or can you just send it on whatever as long as they drop
its not on ptr so people dont know
ah
we were looking at brew/disc/dev/lock/dk but no lust 
all we know is that suppose to upgrade ilvl of weapons and trinkets
Is unholy staying strong after the changes next week
new darling spec
spec weak?
How else do you get people to stop playing aug?
i mean does that really stop aug
What abt rogue buffs? Now u have endless vials in world YEAHHH
you're playing aug alongside dev
devourer is gonna walk into first pull aa and press star -> beam -> reap -> star -> beam -> reap and get a 100% buff to their prio damage and all damage while doing so
udk next week 
devourer =/= devastation
Is trickster gunna be the way to go in 12.0.5?
yes
ye
Hmm. Now the real question, do I stick with outlaw or switch to sub
devourer
Ew, no
I never understood playing a spec, rather than a class
weapon diff
Yeah, but most people dont have a fully upgraded dagger and sword
Outlaw is harder to switch from because mastery is much worse for them and they want a sword
But I play all 3.
3 weaps for 3 specs
eleem how much crit is too much crit 😄
idk, rotational differences too, sometimes one spec's rotation will click better than the others
I get that, but I have so many pieces in my bags, it's pretty okay to juggle whatever stat (I didn't keep Vers gear)
No one right now has a 289 dagger and sword lol
I have a crafted mh sword and my best dagger is champion track
@hazy breach How much crit do we want with the new Patch now i have 28% now its Like 600 and i have 700 haste and with Flask i get to like 72% mastery thats Like 900 and something
so, with the changes is wise to already start to target some crit/hast gear?
And? You can only play if you have 289 weap?
because some specs aren't fun
If you don't want to massively lose performance
What I mean is, I find strange if someone "rerolls" spec. To me that's not a reroll
hello guy's how i cna have this ?
Also for a triple dps class, yeah - you just play what's best
the black bars?
YES
or you play what you enjoy most
it is a game after all
That's why I play rogue
Even if it hurts me
@gilded ferry yes
its a graphic setting, i need to remember which
Turn up your Spell Opacity to max in your settings.
big legs next week
Yes, spell opacity in Combat > Spell Opacity
is not on my screnn but i dotn have 4p is normal i don't have this ?
It's your apex talent
I crafted so I can play all 3 specs, so already crit/haste 
Question is what 4th craft to do
the purloined wedding ring and occlusion of light in my bags for assa are gonna go hard
ideally none
you send gilded on regular myth gear
Let me check if my renown trinket wants some myth crests 
crafting is just bad luck protection
skill issue tbh
im not sending till vault
@dry flame I Dont i do'nt understande
Still have to clear Chim myth and first 2 voidspire at least
I finally enjoy the fruits of my craft sandbagging next week
neck is not bad craft tbh
as my 2nd embellishment gets upgraded to 272
Question gamers. I mainly m+ I have a craft available and I think I’m gonna do boots. Would it be worth it to craft engi boots so I can start using mastery flask in dungeons? Or should I craft the normal boots?
What are stat prios after reset now?
agi
Deleting all my INT gear
I don't think the sims are updated yet, so it's all just speculation?
apparently myth head is only 300 dps over a hero hole one
I mean realisticaly its going to be acquire haste point and use raidbots
crit is already good rn
crit was already better for me in st than mastery
with crit getting stronger on the reset
it was kinda balanced
Show much crit should we have with next week Patch ?
it will just easier to swap to assa and so
yeah for one boss
