I… did not realize how strong the new cloud cover is
it matter if you happen to be on boss prison 😄
Use more inky black pots
assa isnt even stats picky
true
it just feels nice to have high crit
but still prefer crit haste over anything
based on feelcraft
bro i cant wait to have this cloud shit fixed before going live
or hotfixed before EU go live
But at what cost?
they will be like, rogue not bottom dps? not on my watch
what can you do
liquid just better
when i said it here during race there were poeople coping echo win this time for sure
Echo Cope 🤝 Outlaw Cope.
”1 day advantage”
!feint
Atrophic /Feint in Raid: > Click to Open <
oh this is broken?
Pin in general
thanks
it wont change fact that raid is melee unfriendly
Is there a way to run dropmizer taking in considerations de new buffed talents in 12.0.5? I'd like to see how much hero track gear farming I need to do
Is there a way to sim now if I should do my next craft as crit haste or crit mast?
not enough that it matters
you’d gain more dps racechanging to panda
than stressing secondaries on hero gear
You sure? I'm very dry on crit T.T got tons of mastery
And don't have a ton of myth tracks sadly
farm to your hearts content good sir
Yeah but currently don't have anything to get from m10s but I guess I'll wait till Sims are updated
Mine still wants crit mastery as I have enough haste and guidons
u can always just recraft and re-do your gems to get the secondary stats you want
it wont be in sims until its on live server i think
its usually enough
recraft + new gems + swapping flask gives you a lot of room to work with
Ok thanks, I'll wait for it to be live but excited for more burst x)
True but robot tends to like mastery more than crit for my Sims. X) I have like 1k mastery, 650 haste and 350ish crit and the vers from tier set
bad robot
Same. It was nice seeing it's that good
yea i was dooming these .5 changes thinking they were doing nothing
yeah i started playing devouer and ret
i cant do anything more than weekly keys on rogue
i wish the left us atleast 1 button
maybe with the cloud cover change
they def baked too much stuff into the kit with midnight
strike may crit enough to use on 3t
we went from one of the most skill expressive specs with a lot of minmaxing to being one of the easiest classes
i did not see mythic guidon dropped yet
but the first boss seems like coin angle for me
i ran stuff and i dont think 400k is possible 
im pretty sure heroic guidon is better than heroic puzzle box even if you hold
smaller window
i could be wrong tho
im already orc
I do miss maghar
sounds like a skill issue for not being panda
im just not sure how cringe will be stand in that cloud
panda >>>>>>> all 😎
thats what cloak is for
well a lot more blades burst with cloud cover means the on use racials will gain
need to see the new race sims
but what if boss move
you also dont HAVE to be in the cloud the whole time, buff remains for 10s after leaving
so you can dip out and move around
i know but still
then go back in to refresh it before its gone or w/e
Yeah you need to keep it for the second sectech
otherwise you lose your stacks
so you need to be in the cloud at the 18s mark
i dont like that part
ryldd the perma orc coper
i sac the 0.4% gain from panda the entire tier for this exact moment on beloren egg
where orc is 2% ahead
dwarf/tauren likely gain too
Prob not dwarf much. We are already inundated with crit damage.
wait tauren is the same. I thought it was crit chance
wonder if having this much crit damage in our cds will make blood elf pull ahead
having that much crit dam makes the 1% crit a lot more value prob
yeah crit chance racial will be slightly stonger
yk i havent watched jjk but severytime i have a gif of it, its some new random shit goin on
sounds about right
does worth crafting wep now just before 12.0.5? since its come with the upgrade item
ur missing out
goated anime
I read it a long time ago
for like 150 chapters and for the life of me I could not understand the plot
get me off ugly panda
Then I read an author interview where the guy says out loud that he hates gojo
Then I understood th at JJK was trash
i think he clarified that he hates gojo because he was made too OP so it was hard for them to make other characters stand out
"lets stack all these insane power scalers into one guy and see what happens"
the Saitama agenda
Yea
I really like OPM for the same reason
his character is funny bc its the rest of the world coming to terms with the fact he exists
Cuz its the same "premise" but he understands his worldbuilding needs to be peak for Saitama to work
And he is
and hes just so
Saitama about it lmao
and he wasn't given some godly once-in-a-generation inherited powers
legit the most ordinary as fuck training routine
Farming hero crests is a PITA
I run too many delves to even conceive that problem lol
I just did a t8 bountiful delve and didnt get hero
what level do I have to do?
Incredible
Do they give a decent amount
!haste
Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.
between the delve itself and the gilded chest I get 15 per bountiful 11
so that's 60 in about 15-20mins
iirc nightmare preys give them too but its only 5
Are we going to Play gideon in m+ too than in Next Patch ?
!ui
Essential:
ArcUI / BetterCDM - Enhanced Cooldown Manager.
WangBar / SensaiBar - Resource bar (when using blizzard CDM)
MSUF / UUF - Unit frame mods.
Platynator - Nameplate Addon.
Quality of Life:
Buff Reminders - Food/Flask/Poison Reminder.
WilduTools - QOL enhancements.
Mute Cold Blood sound
The first dance tracker
Should be playing it now. 
For dragons we are just bp spam mostly ya?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
with new talent (smoke in SB), we can spect more dps overall or is bullshit?
LOL someone told me puzzle would be better in m+
But finde than gideon
would it be a bad choice to craft Masterwork Sin'dorei Amulet ? it gives me 2.5k DPS extra (wearing a champion now). Already have farstrider weapon and belt
If your pulling huge around 2 minutes? Sure. Most people in here or playing keys in LFG are not. 90 sec spec with a 90 sec trinket and better boss dmg is a 🇼
So for m+ and raid gideon pref Even on Champion ? Because i only have gideon from nhc
The value of the haste from Gideon diminishes
Has anyone talked about ideal stats to shoot for once .5 comes out? 700 haste, but then what type of crit%/mast% are we looking towards?
30% crit? 34% crit?
65% mastery? 70%+ mastery?
It’s making sure you have 2x Sectech in blades
my feelings exactly
With the voidforge thing will crafted gear be 298 or 294
In st I think champ vs mythic is 1000 dps if that.
ye the main strength of guidon is the extra dance global and going from champ->hc->myth doesn't really add much value to that
its just extra agi at that point
295 iirc, it's +10 ilvl
I see thx
just having it is important
with voidforge, i'd assume we're just upgrading myth weapon. you wouldn't do your crafted weapon as well.
eventually you’re doing both
I was wondering if I should craft a second dagger
no, once you have weapon + one emblishment just craft the biggest upgrades for you according to the robot
@proud burrow this is my biggest upgrade i think
If you can get crown neck I wouldn’t craft neck
Then go for it. I ended up crafting a helmet because I have had no luck and it was the biggest upgrade for me. Also true that crown neck is strong because of all the haste though.
So for now im Fine with my nhc gideon
Is there a bonus roll flow chart for next week? As in what priority should rolls be used on? The Shaman discord has a great one
Damn, love to have been wrong about cloud cover
bonus roll is best used for either alleria neck or mythic gaze imo
since they are the most contested
Is there a need for one? Sim droptimizer and look for the highest expected value. If a dungeon expected value is greater than half a raid boss then you're better off rolling twice in that dungeon.
After those it's probably a myth weapon / nexus rings imo. Although rings are way less important
if you have myth weapon already youd probably go for m+ stuff
Droptimizer doesn't include M+ dungeons
like rings/legs first i guess
Yeah
iit does?
You can sim droptimizer for dungeons
It's just a separate button
For me it's gonan be (all on myth) Gaze -> Guidon -> Weapon -> Nexus Rings -> Legs
I couldn't find a setting to include both raids and M+. Apologies if it does. Lets try reading comprehension lol
looks nice.
Nah you need to do it separately, can't do them together.
since i have hc gaze and myth guidon i probably use it for alleria neck first
Just remember to sim for +10 vault
easy 255 haste
YOu can do it seperately but look at the numbers to see what sims best, just like simming for different stat combos for crafted gear
gaze -> algethar -> nexus
hiss, puzzle box, hisssssssss
that's smart though
Is it going to be worth it to run a crit flask, out of interest?
Or is this firmly a "sim yourself"
I couldnt find anything thats better than nexus rings
I feel like the set might be a good comp for m+ now
its prob better long term, but if I already want a puzzle for other reasons im sure the plat star band + occlusion is a relatively good combo
Droptimizer has issues with subs breakpoints.
Nexus is really just the rings for me. And I guess chest catalyst fodder for myth tier
But I love those rings
Toss what you think you want in top gear while also recrafting gear from haste mastery to crit mastery.
Id probably say First boss myth > nexus point
Since you get two items from dungeons its likely a better increase than gaze
True
But it depends on your current trinket ofc
First boss has better items versus Chimarius 1 single trinket, too
Does anyone use personal reminders for fights? if so, what is your thought process behind setting it up/where to highlight a place where a note is most needed. If not, do you do anything similar to prepare for fights ahead of time? I understand this is all personal preference to an extent, but just trying to find new ways to help facilitate more optimal gameplay on my end.
I don’t think there’s any item out of a dungeon sans nexus id farm
Imperator cloak is crit/versa, and a helm/boots to catalyst too.
When does the AoE blind come back?
do you know if you can roll tier token?
im assuming yes
Reset
Cool
I'm curious about this too for Chim, since if tier isn't included it's a 3 item pool.
I presume yes
Isn’t tier its own loot table? 
I guess we'll find out ont uesday
my trinket situation is just so doomed i need to roll gaze first
NA beta test
maybe it takes me a month
Ye obviously its gonna vary a lot
but also other people going trinket might get lucky and lower your competition for the actual boss drop from it
Dont think ive seen it drop as the crit one
I want to know if having an item removes it
that might be the angle if you're way more likely to get it
our guild has dropped 3 total gazes across 11 heroic and mythic kills
its genuinely so doomed
Their wording is "loot pools" and "loot specalisation" so yeah I think it includes tier tokens
Lol, everyone planning out next week, you know the first thing you want to get will be in vault
lucky... we haven't seen it once across all our normal and heroic
Pretty sure no
Since it explicitly says items gained from the rolls
it doesn't, no
Getting a second guidon would be cursed
players may choose to spend their Nebulous Voidcores to receive a random item appropriate for their Loot Specialization from that activity. After receiving an item in this way, it is removed from that loot pool until all eligible items have been obtained on a per-difficulty basis.
They specify "After receiving an item in this way"
Im not getting a straight answer anywhere, if I complete a tier 11 bountiful delve do I get more than the allotted 10 hero crests
We we using crit Flask instead of mastery ?
Chest and stash have the crests.
Its like +0.3% on pure ST
Worse on aoe
Wowhead has a payout someplace.
So I'm clear as mud as to what I should use my bonus rolls on lol. I know my haste is dreadfully low at 276. Accepting a charity evaluation of my situation! XD

bismillah brother we get in this reset
dont give up
I’ve looked at wowhead in not having any luck lol
smart
also the GIGA crit plume with our new giga crit scaling
Yeeee
It’ll find a way to reward you gold. 
i have guy vault luck this tier
im getting funneled with raid loot but the vaults have been bad
I hope this system becomes part of the core game 'cos it's really neat to add deterministic and guranteed grind goals.
HAHA
I keep getting declined for Myth Chim by 7/9 HC leaders (I have multiple Chim kills) 
Like tell me why ive taken key vault 3 times i think
the 7/9 Heroic leaders are a red flag
Unfortunately we are last on the Gaze list

their biggest accomplishment is killing HC Dragons
Yeah, I've never had a good experience with those groups
im not even putting it as a big upgrade on rcloot because I dont want to take one from the real specs
Every singl eone of the "CE ONLY (lead is 5/9N" groups is a disaster
my vault is so diluted now with alleria in the pool
i am never gonna roll gaze
missed week 1 gg
I believe we are all opening our vautl on wednesday
and getting a Gaze with speed on it
i tried making a "CE ONLY 275+" group yesterday, i kid you not, 80% of sign ups were 5-8/9 HC people or 1 imperator kill
at least you can get neck
lmao
I’ll never get plume cause the single target sim says it’s a downgrade
Your gonna get gaze with speed AND a neck is gonna fall out
got mine last week so we good
the neck also has speed
go from champ crucible and box to myth guidon and gaze
lowkey i didn't myth craft a single item and am 10 crests short of upgrading all my myth items though
its like the fat kid in hs becomes gymchad
Okay so… run the bountiful ones
Thanks big dawg
The wowhead article thing wasn’t even showing hero Crete
I’m not really a delver lol so I was unsure
I don't think i have it in me after the week i had, just gonna watch a show
Rank1 delve hater
#BRINGBACKBRANN
I was WROOOOONG
WE ALWAYS GO THROUGH THIS SONG AND DANCE
Wroooooooong
FEELCRAFT ALWAYS WINS
lmao
Its only for trickster right
Imagine the crazy damage buff zerocool would have If he pop cloudcover+light a cig
Outlaw may still be saying this being forced into trickster. 
Champ Guidon > Hero Puzzle?
Where's the predooming thread about them gutting cloud cover while buffing uhdk to the moon?
sim it
Probably, guidon good
Single target guidon wins easily
its also ass to use puzzle all the itme
I’ve simmed it like 15 times
I'm looking for any reason to ditch it
wtf is that opener with the rotten
i have seen somewhere above here
strike into 3 backstabs?
without premed*
huh
you dont get full cp
just reading the pin now kekw
because you dont take premed
Tbf my tempered expectations didnt include the fact that surprising strikes would be trippled too
And if you remove that bit its like +1% compared to the previous one
i mean honestly i thought they'd NOT include that
but on the off chance that it really was just 3x fazed in all aspects it did sound crazy
and somehow
thats what we got
though i lowkey feel like that wont stay the case 
It reminds me of the uh, Symbols change.
Its more egregious for outlaw
"nah that's gonna be bad" "actually it owns?"
how big is this for outlaw
2x
as it is for sub
Trickster was a bit behind for outlaw, but now its like 10% ahead 
Very silly
It will do well in raid
eh
Idk 10% big number
More with cloud cover
but surely you'd just play sub on lura still right
it's actually pretty decent with cloud cover i think
Idk lura isnt really bursty

12.0.5 is the outlaw patch 
sub already giga if you play the cursed tech and you only need egg damage 👿

Idk i feel like a lot of classes could probably put up similar numbers if they also griefed their overall dps as much as you did
But yeah sub is not bad by any means
After next week its gonna be good for real though
ok cmon man...
Im not saying its not worth it
idk i tried to do anything i could as sub
haha
it was worse than sin
sacraficing your aprse
*parse
don't get me started subti
for important damage
i will yap far too much
ye i did that on sin too
i was using puzzlebox for sub too
sub is quite bad at the second burn if you play the way i did as well
not sure how assa does on the first one
assa is bad on the first one
think i wouldve been like 280k/200k pre cloud cover if we got there
also though
post cloud cover
you def just play sub
but the thing is
im assuming you played DS sub right
no more cursed than that
huh
Just link the AM yap
2x on use?
And hold 4 dances worth of SC
ye
oh yeha
so box with your blades then
but how useful is guidon outside of blades though
hmmm i see
then its mega useless on second burn because you need lust as well

WE LOVE HASTED SECTECH CD
you just full play for the first burn with pot and lust
get it into execute for the other guys
pog
Will party members see the cloud?
i feel like your damage has to suffer elsewhere
its a little better in second p1 since you can send on the eggs
but first p1 its not good no
you can send 1 sectec on second eggs since you only need 5 SC for burn
ah ok
and then you just press builders from 40s onwards until burn
so your p1 damage is basically ass 
im doing quite a bit of boss damage and decent bird/egg damage on sin
we've wiped many times to eggs not dying
so

yes we did too until some ppl started hitting it more
our comp has quite bad burst for egg
lowest we got it was like 40.5%
We played 2 rogues so i was on assa duty
with me full saccing p1 damage for it
Sucks our kill pull had abysmal crit rng for me
26% kb crit on both burns
Aintnoway
42% crit btw
our lowest was like 34
also
this was p1 damage
from that same pull
At least it can’t get parried. 
yeah im pretty consistently in the 270k range for egg burst on first one
Bear 3rd is so hype bro
unfortunately we did not make it to second egg for me to assess the damage
but my sims were saying 255k/180k
so it prob wouldve been around 200
If youre hitting 40% idt the egg burn will be 30 seconds ngl
surprising assa does that much damage on second egg with lust on first
isnt 38-40 the range to barely kill on second egg
Maybe its comp dependant
I hate this fight so much
I think I have a pull with bear first and like 10m dmg
ppal + bdk are not even doing 5m combined 
Oh shit nvn lmfao
We hit 35% on our first burn XD
ye
I wasnt really looking at egg health
I send envenom at 1 sec and sprint to soak orbs

Oh..
cloud cover will save us
Xd tell him to
U get it back about 10 sec into second burn
He gets to afk start of bird
Straight vibes
I have 28% crit its around 600and something than 700haste 72% mastery with Flask thats 900 and something and i Play with gideon in m+ and raid Are These stats Fine for Next week Patch or do i Need more crit ?
new M+ import is right? appears with an error for me
Re-asking this, but also are the haste breakpoints still the same going into cloud cover giga dam or does it shift in any way? Trying to prep the items for it before reset.
Idk ask robot
Doesnt matter that much
Just get the haste and then the rest into crit and mastery
Well presumably you are not on the PTR
the aoe/m+ spec import is borked Eleem, in-game its saying
are you on PTR? it requires the new talent from .5 patch
Idk why the ST one works
Ima let the RL know im now the big man once its live
hell yeah
yes, but not always. was more useful pre-midnight, now it's kinda dependent on the fight. its good for defensives when other stuff is going on or hyper specific feint timings are important (on paladins, there are a lot of overlaps where first instance of damage is 5s before the second instance, so a well timed feint covers both - reminders very good on this fight). also useful when cd timings are a bit strange to keep you on track, if i played sub on dragons I would've set up an offensive reminder set for that. something like alleria though you're just pressing buttons so it doesn't matter
Are 285 pants worth crafting if we have 4 set in other slots?
My goat, I appreciate you.
i think lura im probably gonna have a cd set note because you aren't strictly casting on cd from what ive watched, if you go the full length to set up everything through the fight and do the calculations/edit a little bit from vods you free up the coggy load of thinking about your cooldowns and just press when it says press
how long does the cloud cover smokebomb last? entire shadowblades duration?
nvmnd tooltip is linked in pin
mbmb
so we just have to dip in right before it ends again
yep
Due to the rotten are we attempting to weave more SS in dance during cloud cover window or just running rotation as we are currently doing?
? 😂
So is that cloud lasting all together 20 sec, right?
what is different in deathstalker rotation ?
cause ppl say it's different to play than trickster
Where is everyone sending their loot tokens on Tuesday
(outside of raid because thats obvious)
probs sending on rings from pit and xenas for more crit
nowhere cause EU
are we gonna have crests unlocked this season as well?
or platinum band
basically just rings lol
not gonna see myth crown or lura
so no myth necks
I don't raid so I think ill be sending it in PoS or Skyreach for dagger? idk if thats troll
@hazy breach
so rly is that new cloud talent gonna be 20 sec all together or im missing smth
?
Do we dump mastery for crit now?
Not really
m33kauras having conditionals so goated
found my weekend project
return of the Batman Punch for 8sec left on blades
anyone can help we with wowaudit sim for plume? i want the heroic ploom for m+ but its a minus ofcourse on singletarget with hc guidon/gaze
how do i sim that it shows a upgrade and i can get the item
free from Arc I'm so happy
In my opinion Aoe Is always cracked and you should run gaze and guidon in m+
So with the Next Patch and This opener in aoe Are we getting the 24% buff from cloud to the First sec to or will it just get the second tech
You can’t.
unless you want to get kicked
Guys a world 1.2k rank guild is trying to tell me that rogue "isn't as bad as everyone says it is" send help
If I were on PC I'd send screenshots but it's actually full delusion
should I keep the sod and flag
"ummmm liquid played it on Lu'ra ☝️"
Fact is a good rogue can still perform in a sea of mediocre ranged players.
Yeah, I'm making an argument for HoF being the example tho, and that's mostly good everything
But I'm being ragebaited anyway
A good player on a bad class will always be better than someone fotm rolling
sub gonna be scrambling eggs on Tuesday. Burn phase of lura? Yes please.
Is sub the go to on Beloren now?
Or we use shurikan After Blade to Apply the buff and the First tech
Saladbar hc cmon
What's happening on Tues?
Find the text of exile saying they should have ran 2 DKs
u wont believe it
@lilac stag Can you help with that
What are you whating?
its chewsday innit
anyways, about that cloud, is it gonna be 20 sec all together or... seems like ppl think im trollin xD
10 + 10 =20
Oh just seen the pin 👀 we assa gearing now damn we on that crit shit
so it is gonna work like that... cool
getting yoinked out of it gonna be fun
drop toy and shadowstep back
Wait a minute, are we going to have to build twice in our opener?
Since no premed?
kek 3-4
Surely there will be a interaction and u will be able to make it last longer somehow

Is there a way I can sim my gear for tuesday's changes so that I can be properly geared walking into raid starting today
(I dont have a lot of time on tuesday before raid to change gear and crafts and ish)
@lilac stag Thats my question
how hard are shadowstrikes hitting in the fart cloud?
Ppl were saying like 130-150
thats actual fuck ton
we are so back
So hard wangbar has a cp delay
How much is supercharged+apex coup rn
WANGBAR
Prio damage go brrr
Are we limited in how many weapons/trinkets we can upgrade post Tuesday
1 per week
You need to actually attack something to generate the stacks

Cool. I don’t mythic raid and I have hero track alnseer so I’m trying to decide what to do
Obviously myth track weapon will be first thing upgraded I think
how good is the urn for us? seems like in m+ its quite fine on packs right?
Its a 2 minute trinket that stuns you

Uh is new cloud cover actually decent
Yep!
No, its not decent
Its very very strong
Yeah but you get 3x fazed stacks only with sb thats why im asking do i Go sb than Dance shurikan for the 3 stacks on every mob and than sec tech
Ye it reads kinda op if we can 3 stack faze
all of your attacks (including autos and nimble flurry) will apply
Fazed
Per the pins
So they will have their stacks maxed anyway
Because if you do sb Dance and than sec tech there is no fazed Buf on them with 3x dmg buff
If there was a rotational change, my assumption is Eleem would have posted it with the pin.
Whats up on tuesday?
Ok
yeh it's so OP we go from where we are to about where arcane mage and arms warrior are lol
'OP'
Only exception might be a pull like academy since nimble is capped to 8 targets you will only have fazed capped on like 16-20 of the 30 mobs
just recrafting for ST lol
Dont forget the 3-5% devourer buffs that are coming! 

We have changes for our stat prio on Tuesday
Y'all fret way too much over stats
It’s more than decent
Game is game
What ilvl are you?
Is devourer actually getting buffed or are people memeing. Can't tell.
Not memeing
wow lol
They also got some redesigned talents, which ended up as a buff
Which is why we are expecting notes to adjust for that
using vanish strike in between dances with blades should be decent now right?
Notes like a 15% aura nerf would be appropriate
Sim was already doing this
nice
so first dance finally not optimal???!!!?!
why would you think it is not
Idk was just looking at pin
bruh it is craaaazzyy
Yeh just put nexus finger and drink red 
thankfully i can recraft my wrists and boots to crit easily
wonder how much dps it will be
do you press shadowblades right before shadowdance?
And they'd still be in the top half
Heyo, I main sub and I followed Method guide and while in M+ it is relatively okay, in Raids my dps is quite low even though I push almost 270ilvl.
I was thinking for giving and IcyVeins guide a try but maybe you guys have some better recommendations.
Thanks
you might be making more mistakes in raid
also raid has places where you want to use cds a bit different to pad more
pad 

@hazy breach do you know if a finisher with AA proc is consirerated a generater CP?
I got it, this confuse me cause tooltip
Hey guys, do we cast sercret tech only with supercharged points?
During lust and with haste trinket the secret tech cd comes up during the last few seconds of the prior dance
Should i hold it for the supercahrged cp or use it
!blades
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.
Not having premed feels so off to get used to, I just SS to open with 2 CPs haha. In that situation would it be worth using dance + storm since it should crit to go into sectech? Or should I build out and then blades into dance + secTech (for cloud cover)
Wowhead actually still says to hold for supercharged in the ? part of optimisation of Shadow Dance
where is the grim jest gear obtainable?
Raid and catalyst
It is our tier set, so from vault, raid bosses or catalyst charges
ah right, thanks
Probably strike vanish strike will be the new way to go
current or simming for next week?
just got to 90 and saw on a guide that's our BiS for pvp? i thought it was pvp gear
Nah you just tank backstabbing
but i'm guessing it's because of the tier set
Better to vanish during cloud cover
why would they need to fix something that wont be used

does supercharged 2nd sec tech during blades fall off with the new changes compared to 2nd shadow dance at 8 sec remaining on blades?
feels like it should
OK, so in those situations just take the L and backstab until high cp and then blades into dance + tech.
With the rotten up ofcourse
swapping off warning signs means we wont need to repair as often
from AAing so much

I can't wait for tanks to move out of the cloud because they can't see it
Blizzard coule make it stay on us, and then for fun make it work like Poison Bomb so you can see 0 effects under you
tanks acn see it
everyone can see it
the probably you will still need to wait a bit for the positioning to settle idk
Yea, most likely
Theyre equal anyway and one is a lot harder to do, so why bother
Just do the last seconds of dance
I assume our rotation stays mostly the same, just a lot more power into generators?
wait are ascendant voidcores just rng drops instead of capped per week?
As you also need to perfectly snapshot the increased duration from guidon to make the supercharger thing worthwhile
got super used to just shadow dancing on 3 secs remaining of sec tech cd
gonna have to re-wire
what does cloud cover mean? and also, what is the supercharged method for shadowdance? when you dont have shadow blades, is there something specific i should be doing with shadow dance in terms of combo points?
New talent called cloud cover
!blades
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.
Are those the ilvl upgrade or the bonus roll coins?
I'm just so confused why they create a button to make death stalker feel better then completely eclipse it with this cloud cover change
because they're entirely lost when it comes to deathstalker
its just a top-down rework type thing that needs to happen with it
Hello to all Sub Rogue PVE gamer´s, im alittle bnit frustrated of my sub rogue and try to find some helpy one who can help me to figure out what im doing actually wrong with my sub rogue. Anyone who can lend me a hand and possibly offer experienced help via a Discord call with screen sharing. I would be very grateful if someone could be found who is willing to help me.
Trickster already eclipsed DS in terms of usability
Does it really surprise you
I copied my character over to the PTR for the .5 patch and that joint lowered my crafted pieces to 259, big sadge
Don't you like to do more damage? Trickster is the only good rogue hero tree unfortunately :bigsadge
Didn't even think to do that, thanks @alpine wraith
Next
I more so expected to see DS get more buffs than trickster due to the ability addition
The QoL is a buff. The haste finds make it very good on ST
A turd will remain a turd even if you drizzle molten chocolate all over it

question on cloud cover - you want to be inside the cloud for as long as possible to get the most out of it or is it only effective during shadow blades?
no one who can help me on my rotations or on my playwise what i actually do wrong ?
My understanding (which could be wrong) is if you stepped out early, just make sure you step back in before it expires to guarantee the full duration, which should be the entirety of the blades duration.
how are we going to be looking with these class updates coming ? with the phase stacks and thechanges for us in deathstalker ? will we still be in trickster for single target or ?
I would use lorrgs and WCL + the Sub rogue FAQ and compare those to your own to see the differences
Have you checked the pins
oh let me do that
its fine to get out at least after all 3 stacks are applied right? i mean it makes no sense to be in it any longer right?
*rogue.
we should be tracking stacks then too?
Theyre lost when it comes to rogue
Rouge
so with the update with the new phased stuff will we be more competative in raid now ?
or are we just goint ot be a mythic plus and pvp class still
I just tried it, if you step out early you will not get the full buff duration because it starts counting down from 10. But if you step back in before the cloud actually expires you gain another 10 seconds, which would be the same as if you were in it for the full duration of the cloud itself and then getting the additional 10 after the smoke goes away. But while in it, you do not have a "ticking buff" you only receive the buff countdown once the cloud dissipates or you step out of it.
Edit for clarity: So as long as you step back in it at some point before the cloud disappears, you should receive the full 20 seconds.
how is sub with aug?
so we stand in it right until befoer it expires then step out ? to get an additional 10 seconds basically ?
No
pretty sure standing in it the entire duration = max uptime
If you stand in it the entire time you get 20s
If you stand in it for 3 seconds, then move out for 5 seconds and then back in again at 8 seconds you will also get the full 20s
what if you stand in it but don't inhale
Lowkey coordinate with a ranged dps if the fight is mobile so you can shadowstep to them tech
do you get the 4 20 seconds
can i make eggs while in it ?


Shrimply make the evokers gust push the cloud forward
Family,
I have a question based on the latest insights regarding haste breakpoints, etc. (again — sorry).
I couldn't find anything using the search function, and I've been racking my brain over it since yesterday.
I mainly play M+.
So here’s my situation:
I have Guidon from LFR (yes, fk me) vs. the Mythic Track box from the Vault (yeah, I know I’m ridiculously lucky, but I still don’t like the puzzle box).
According to Sims, I can swap out a few items to reach 800+ haste without Guidon. With haste food, according to sims my DPS in Dungeon Slice drops by at least 2.3%.
Guidon on Veteran track is -2.1% for it.
I've tested gear sets with 833 Haste and even nearly 900 Haste on a target dummy, and I find it really tight—and in practice, it's possibly often unrealistic to squeeze the 2nd SecTech and its clones into Shadow Blades (things happen and we are just human).
This raises a number of questions for me (some answers may rule out others).
Is this a target dummy issue, and should it resolve itself in an M+ group? I can’t think of any buffs that are always active and provide that extra haste, tho.
Should I go with Veteran Guidon or switch to other Gear pieces to get to that ~800 haste?
Do the 2nd SecTech clones have to be inside the shadow blades windows?
HOLY
Shaman gust of wind utility??
with how our blades lines up with phases in boss fights ... will this make us go up higher on statistics in logs ? the new changes ?
yo guys i have over 1500 mastery with flask and still sim better with mastery flask than crit, and radiant plume over umbral plume. i also have 688 haste and guidon. meanwhile i see all top rogues stacking crit wherever they can. i'm simming patchwerk 5 bosses - am i doing something wrong ?
Our burst is gonna be a lot higher
yes so thats why i asked does blades line up well with things in raid ? like is oru damage profile good enough with this increase to our burst to make us be like really good ?
The spec will be stronger on reset
Its getting buffed
thats about all there is to say lol
lol
does anyone know how our damage profle and burst windows line up with bosses in raids ?
Im confused by the question
brother what are you asking
we are going to be stronger
so if we're stronger
then we're stronger everywhere
like does our damage profile and burst windows line up with adds and phases well in the raid ? on boss fights ?
why would that change?
change from what ? i woudlnt know im asking because i have not had too mcuh experience this tier so im asking like does our burst windows and damage profiles line up well with most of the fights ? aparently its only a couple based off that foreverguy said
iim just curious on the specifics of that thats why im asking
It's pinned. You can read it.
It depends on the fight, its alright on chimerus, its alright on lura, its alright on beloren
but nothing changes from us except number go up
Yeah we just do more damage on reset thats abt it
If u care about our WCL stats then yeah they will go up, but thats cuz were getting buffed lol
reset happens. you get to do more damage
With having more burst u can probably optimize ur CDs more, for more padding damage if u wanted to
I think the only thing you maybe consider changing is like, holding sblades for a second salhadar amp if ur progging it
Or for add pad ye
Chinese cloak the tank sacrifice soak on chimerus and pad on those adds!!!
yeah i want to pad to look good thats all i care about
I may change my chars name to padder if its not taken

Lmao then probably worth holding sblades for certain add sets XD
someone book mark this for when goof is sat because no boss dam on prog
please tell me I haven't been griefing, you don't hold blades for damage amp?
the second one is questionable
since it's like 45 seconds after blades comes up
it's still like 50/50 though on where loggers are using 2nd blades
half send it on cd, half wait for amp
depending on kill timer, if they send instantly when 2nd blades comes up at like 3:15ish, they'll have it up for 2nd pot at end of fight.
if you hold blades for 2nd amp, you might not have 3rd blades up for 2nd pot.
again, based on your kill timer.
The dmg amp isn’t amazing
out of top 10 logs, only 2 held blades for 2nd amp
that's overall dam though, not boss dam
are there any advice on how to improve overall dmg on Algethar academy as a sub rogue? thats a 14
I lost a blades in my run because we killed right before 3rd amp, but if we would have killed right after 3rd amp it might be considered worth (speculation of course) since that is still before the 5th blades at ~6mins.
But yea, getting another blades in is prob the play, ima try that next week since we def won't hit 3rd amp at all.
starting sub, what is "guidon", please?
its french for guide
on wowhead
jk, its a trinket from the 1st boss in voidspire
Thanks folks
anyone know if alleria/lura necks are still worth on patch?
Was this bear afk the whole dungeon?
with crit being better now
aleria neck is rly good, so ye still good
Yes practically nothing changes besides crit flask
I mean sure if you got those you can swap those
Doesnt matter a whole lot though, its not like mastery is useless
Why is it that reclearing Chim for the 3rd/4th time is somehow harder than the initial kill? These groups are killing me. Worked all week for that 
idk i could rekill in a pug but cba
im out for now since i already got gaze
on farm
this trinket is good for something?
ive only killed it in pugs, so no differnce to me
last reset i had hc guidon and gaze in the vault and went for gaze cause "im not gonna play sub this season"... i guess thats all it takes for sub to get awesome buffs xD
so u can all thank me
vs gaze….
yea but i had good equip trinkets and no on use
i basically played with 2 on proc trinkets
289 puzzle, 289 guidon, renown trinket for 2 months 
theres always a good passive trinket
right now, i have two 276 already
crucible is free
you pay with your soul

idk i like crucible
i got matrix restabilizer from ragnaros timewalking and that shit kills on sims xD
its always up
champion restabilizer barely lost to hc feather (as assa)

93 agi and 310 crit, haste or mastery on proc, which is like every 1.7 mins


its your highest stat, not random and yeah its every 1:45 on the dot
Used to be really good, now its just pretty good
meanwhile i was using a champ prism on nexus king
