Any value in manually applying snd if opener with lust?
aight, i guess i am just overreacting and dooming to the sub state right now
good question. when i switch specs between bosses the CDM dissapeared...
ahhhhh ok
yeah you need to set it up between specs
i think if you're getting pulled off boss to do mechanics it's hard to get everything lined up for a parse right now
unless you had and it just bugged out or something
But why, more shadow tech procs=better energy=less dps loss. And it also doesn't spend supercharged
you're getting snd rolling the finisher after sectec
the diff is negligible
it's more important to have snd on say outlaw
some people do strike>snd>vanish>strike>cds right now, but it's not required
so you open evis then bte for example
or sorry strike>evis
it won't be possible to do that on reset when playing no premed
unless everyone just decides to play premed anyways because vibes are better with it
Sim says it's -0.2% loss, I was wondering if it because of lost supercharged out of blades window
could be yeah, could also be delaying cds a few globals
it doesn't like
also the bottom line i think is shadowblades casts

so if you're delaying that for a few globals the sim probably starts hissing
this is amazing
yeah the sim really doesn't like delaying some things
blades affects all damage by 20% right? so white damage everything etc
26% iirc
because of tier set
Drum of Renewed Bonds how troll is this trinket ? I’ve got it on heroic, but is the the Crucible of Erratic Energies better? The sims tells me Drums.. but I’m not sure it’s correct.
yeah for me personally i hold vanish to guarantee a full cp evis between dances during blades
so you're not asking backstab rng to setup 2nd dance etc
fuck these things by the way
whoops meant vessel of tortured souls my bad ignore this
crucible is really really good until you get 6/6 solarflare prism
i was just about to type something refuting that hhaa
yeah my bad just spaced out
no worries i do it all the time
I’ll switch it for the crucible. Thanks!
ye 135 crit with a high proc rate is stonks
the uptime on that trink with all upgrades is very high
Oh yeah you’ll need all the upgrades ?
for it to be at full power yes
you can sim it with/without what you're currently upgraded with
from that thingy in the voidstorm
Hi, regarding AA, what is **supercharged **non-Secret Technique Finisher? Does it mean AA should be activated for all non-ST finishers when in dance? Does it matter outside of dance?
Apex talent optimization:
- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
you ever see kabru try and shmurder falin in dungeon meshi? in 3 or less target count shadowstrike an extra time with 5cp etc
Ah, I might've been doing things wrong then 😅 . I just focused on getting AA up for all finishers but ST in dance, not paying attention to other things..
yeah it happens i was doing it with backstab like it was last season before talking about it
its basicly just the finisher after your sectec (or if you have 4 supercharged CP the next 3 after sectec)
you dont force an AA proc for the sectec
You can even make it easier if you have supercharged cp and no sectech you just strike if no AA is up. 9.9/10 times your fine not worrying about shadow tech stacks
i love my gear rn cuz all i need to do is drink a haste flask to swap from assa to sub next reset
I usually get max cp, dance, ST, builder to proc AA, use finisher, builders to get AA up agian, finsher etc.
man the haste tax on deathstalker makes me just wanna play assassin
that's basically not happening til rare neck drops
yeah i saw that looks diabolical with cloud cover
u wont touch ds from next reset
i have to resim for sure i've been playing 620 haste puzzy cause thats what the sim is telling me
ds wa only an option for liike a week now because of the new found breakpoint
but even then you dont want to play ds because of mark bugs
i mean the only fight you pull it on is vorasius/salhadaar
if your mark just decides to disappear you can basicly just stop doing dmg at all
ye reapplying it
not happening
that is the fun part
gets fixed next reset though with marked for death or whatever its called
it's weird that mistweaver monk has a similar bug
So Premed bug, correct me if I'm wrong, happens because it gives us a full 7cp when we enter vanish or shadow dance and use our next CP generator (Shadow Strike).
By using Premed to fill all CPs, no "stored" combo points are consumed and makes no shadow clones pop to do another shadow strike for us.
That sounds like it's working as attended and not a bug?
they have to avoid a ability cause it'll randomly stop working in dungeons too
Wait, if I don't have supercharged points, I should not "force" AA for my finishers?
we have had that since the release of DS i think?
no
nah just with supercharged combos
🤦♂️
yeah it's definitely been discussed before i think the mistweaver thing is new this season tho
So if I have supercharged points, I should get AA for finishers - except for ST. ST doesn't need AA.
!aa

ST or aoe?
it's under pins
ty
its a lot of crit and overall
Trickster bufs basically make DS worse again?
My short time learning it for my casual guilds egg damage was worth it 
i liked it on vorsarius cause we were all in mechanics jail anyway
we only have 1 kill
lol but for the record we were all on bugs at max distance jail
besides alleria i cant think of any boss where i had to play mechanics
and alleria forces you to play them
yeah we're just getting to figuring out how to ethically pad on chimarus
i got a kill last week in a pug but ye
im pretty sure as sub you just press storm instead of backstab
thats all you can really do
yeah i had a 77 parse on last pull of the night on 2nd downphase
just be near add spawn in upphase with sec tec dance up
like uh the big add isn't in range for cleave before it gets stunned by consume type stuff
oh youre talking chimaerus
just send on cd
and sectec when theyre grouped (should be happening fast with grips tbh)
but generally i wouldnt hold sectec for more than 5 seconds
yeah this week was slow due to lack of gameplan
we did heroic midnight falls for an hour and a half got it to start of phase 2 then recleared heroic
last week we got two myth bosses down
i too would like to send on cd this reset
Im reading 12.0.5 Cloud Cover buff.. realizing i dont know how works the spell now before patch.. can u tell pls?
i think we macro it to blades?
yeah if you use distract in keys it's not too clunky
Wasnt it passiv from Shadow blades?
oh true skimmed it
The benefit comes from the change making it stack fazed to 3. That's the insane part.
That it's passive when you use SB is just a big QoL bonus
it's funny cause yoda just put sub in b tier beind assa
So now if i use shadow blades and then run 15 yards i lose dps from it? Ant it is exaxtly the thing they are fixing?
for high keys i think thats fair
assa is crazy for high keys
because your maintarget doesnt just drop dead 5 seconds in
In fairness, keys are a bit skewed towards ST currently
im starting to see people funnel adds into bosses again
we probably go even if people are doing stuff good
but ye assa does have good st
There's a lot of mismatched HPs for portions that prevents you to progress the keys
but also im sure yoda is seeing sub rogues get boss funnel etc etc
!aa

would you mind posting your stats for assa? lazy request i know just curious how much crit is being run etc
like around 40%
and a good amount of haste too
sin is crazy bottlenecked by energy now
ye im 35-36% crit 20% haste 40% mastery i think?
your sim will want more crit for sure
i feel like implacable mechanic really likes the crit
yeah
it's fallen off a few times cause im begging for mut to crit
the sin apex is weird
2nd part is passive who cares
1st part is horrible, absolutely hate playing around it
3rd part is AMAZING, so cool
i've been looking at the forums more than usual recently and by far the biggest complaint is energy issues on rogue in general
specifically on sin and sometimes outlaw
i did an outlaw key with a blood dk
the guy was 200k all key
8 target only pit of saron 14 or 15
it was good too
bdk is like that sometimes yeah, very high dam
but bdk is always the issue of them flopping
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
because nobody can save them except themselves
yeah but with 8 targets how often can that happen
well you go higher in key level
you have to pull bigger/more aggressive
and stuff hits way harder
their health is a like a yoyo
and then 1 wrong gcd boom dead
yeah if you see bdk with any kind of priest consider not applying
they're really good with mistweaver and druid afaiu
h pal is 50/50
i'm just not super keen on inviting bdk in general lol
well yeah
because outlaw is just slightly negative and it feels like ass to fall through for 5 seconds every minute or so, and then it gets slightly worse later on, it could be easily fixed by adding energy regen into rtb 2+ buffs
and assa is legit without design, you're supposed to pool for...your filler again
playing that spec really is a high wire act in high keys
ye pug no coms bdk is just whoops i fell over
sub is very smooth in comparison because it has inf energy when it matters and only really pools a little bit before CDs which is very minor
yeah sin feels pretty fucking bad sometimes
and agreed this is the least energy issues sub has had playing 100 energy ever
bdk is a weird case where blizz loves UDK to hell and FDK is rarely really neglected, usually just kinda undertuned if anything, but still plays ok
meanwhile BDK is kept in the basement and fed worms because it can't ever be allowed to be good again in any environment but boss tanking
the meme of every beta cycle "BDK IS OP NEW META TANK"
was frost dk a tank at one point or am i forgetting
never happens
after the changes do you guys think that crit will win over mastery in m+ as well?
yes
changed to blood at some point, can't remember when exactly
not as much no
yoda said they're(bdk) good enough to be a key level behind meta
mastery is still really good in aoe because of PP
thanks
early WotLK when Blizz tried to make every DK a tank/DPS hybrid, but Frost had the most tanking talents
by late WotLK it became obvious that BDK is amazing at tanking Wrath content and the other two are better off as DPS
IDK, this beta everyone was dooming BDK already, like "worst tank by far" popped up several times
people shilled Prot Pally because of damage and Guardian for more balanced damage+survivability
Fr tho, did a +12 AA yesterday with a Blood DK tank ; bro died twice back to back on the 1st pull (everything around tree boss) & caused group wipes while blaming the group for doing “way too low dps” & “I can reach over 900k on this pull on my mage” like yea ok sure bud 
I would argue
oh that's not even a bdk issue, that's just a tank issue in general on 1st pull of AA lol
but yeah
lads need to learn to kite
A 260 ilvl hpal healed a 16 magister no problems
like it's legit not a pull you can facetank on higher keys
Ah word
Let the debuff apply
but BDK makes it even worse
It was really funny tbh
oh shit that makes it even easier, fire
Also it didn’t help I immediately died & completely missed lust
I had tricks on bro the entire time & got full aggro from 1st ss
Feelsbad
Actually imagine
so SS will sometimes not apply snap aggro
because it's an instant hit
or w/e
That’s wild

Hello all, question about Sub rogue as I have heard different things about it, or maybe I misinterpretted it.
During shadowblades, I have always held my second shadow dance until secret technique was available, which was for the last 1-2 seconds of shadowblades.
Should I be popping shadow dance as soon as its ready? Or am I doing it correct
if you tricks>strike into a pack before the tank has established enough threat or he just pulled it, you can get 1 shot
if you're afraid that might happen it's usually safer to open on the pack with storm
or wait until you see him cast a few gcds before striking in
with guidon and 4p you start the second dance when blades has 8 seconds left
it's very dangerous to strike in when the tank just got to the pack
Word, I appreciate the tips 🖤 I was defo confused what happened lollllll
Also speaking of ss I found something funny in NPX
oh no this has happened to litearlly every single sub rogue ever lol
dw
next time i see aa im gonna run crippling poison now that you mention it
cause i didn't have enough damage with aug udk in a 17 yesterday
unironically mind numbing possibly
if you ss from stealth (where it tp’s you) while on the bridge going to Lothraxion
aa gives me nightmares
Ur gonna have a bad time
strats

i was thinking about this the other day
it's the bleed afaiu tho they just need to out run it
self buffs - flask etc
you have to choose between 1 or the other
thank you is that raid or m+?
and running crippling can be very troll
Real
m+ but i donthave diff gear sets
ayo that could work
at present i just switch gfuidon for box for raid
maybe who knows lol
I will recraft all my pieces to crit haste on wednesday
might just be a "get good" for your tank
although im wondering if keeping mast is better given the cleave in this raid tier
But ye I was in a 10 NPX & used ss from stealth on the light image (while he was in the middle of the bridge, not near a side) & it just tp’d me directly under the bridge & I obv fell & died
Was p funny ngl
Is there anyone here that understands parses and logs and could help me understand a few things? 🙏
besides paladins most of the cleave this tier is kinda fake
boss dmg is what really matters
agreed for the most part
but it seems like my recrafts net me about 3% crit orsomething
maybe 4
I can’t wait til the day I can use a non-haste flask 
just ask the question and someone will respond im sure
I have b oth 4p and guidon, so youre saying I should not be holding my second shadow dance for secret technique, I should be using it imediately off cd while shadow blades is active
no
you use it when blades has 8 seconds left
sectec should be ready with like 2-3 seconds left
It's more like me comparing 2 different logs, one of them did not do the rotation well, but scored very high log, while the other done the rotation close to perfect but scored a much lower log score
So I was wondering if I could dm anyone that understand these things the parses so they could maybe explain to me how it works
What boss
time to kill when damage is being applied etc
Also timer matters

Just in time for turbo
big
I wish i had beloren dagger
I kinda feel bad upgrading a vers dagger but it is What it is
it is not that much better dont worry
Wait if you uppgrade crafted dagger is it the same ilvl as a regular mythic dagger?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
that dagger is mostly mast anyways
no it is still some ilvls behind
i assume crafted goes to 393 instead of 398
same as before
or something like that
wthelly 400 ilvl weapon
crafted goes to 294 normal mythic 298
Prophet is a expansion ahead
omfg number starts with 2 not 3
HAHA
Better get one in vault then
dont worry i had a funny situation the other day in some titles
i miss big number
lol nice
lol hell yeah, share in my number dyslexia
ive had some close keys man
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Ive set up a tent in academy yesterday.
Took like 5 tries
the best ones i've had are timing title range keys by seconds
aa is a rough key
those are serious nail biters
the io upgrades that are <1s timed...
Playing the last 2 spinning mobs into boss is so crazy too
guess you want guidon more than ever with this change, or?
my feelycraft tells me yes
q.q
funnily enough in m+ box becomes quite decent
makes sense yeah
was actually thinking about double passive for keys recently
might be a vibe
it is not bad but it will feel worse on some dungeons
guidon def. good ye
but trinkets don't change
then pulls falters on
for sure
SHEEEEEESH
DONT BLINK
well with my 278 ilvl, guidon on lfr track still sims better than anything i have. no gaze no guidon yet 😢
those are the ones where you have no idea if you actually timed the key until the hting pops up saying you did
i think this was an early season nokhud
i tend to push fast early then just chill and that was like our worst dungeon that season
my favorite thing about nokhud were the warspears
that targeted ranged
god forbid
ranged has 1 singular mechanic to do
you never hear the end of it
"KILL THE WARSPEAR OMFG KILL THE WARSPEAR"
calm down boomy
press starfall
go bear
oh god this was a week with sanguine explosive too
holy fuck what a bad week to do nokhud
LOL that's illegal yeah
bolstering was also really bad in there iirc
you couldn't drag in mobs into other packs
which was the usual play in there
esp in 1st area
Wait, in what scenario are you doing this? With puzzle in keys?
yeah it was horrible
perma chaining
first area and the ghost area i think
just without guidon in general
you want 800 haste as trickster
or else blades windows becomes a bit scuffed
Can I sim for wednesday's version of trickster on raidbots droptimiser at the moment?
you can put ptr=1 in expert mode to sim
About to run some keys so wanna know if any crit ones are worth keeping if they drop 🙂
Could have used it last night before raid to be honest
Doesnt really change that much tbh
But yes you want an on-use trinket
about the only one worth keeping. otherwise just use cruible
Been running that since week 1 - I did mean neck/rings but forgot to add it into my message ^^
This has to be added into the header I'd imagine?
sir fuu . mr. do we treat orc racial as a 3min cd and only send it with shadowblades? or we can send it with dance aswell
for all of us the gigachads that play orc male hunched over not vertical position ofc
ye, can just put it in the header
you line it up with blades
ty
it says here increase attack power by 168. is that 168 agility ?
i never knew how to interpret attack power - agility ratio. what is this tbc we're gemming ap over agi xd?
https://raider.io/characters/eu/howling-fjord/Салатисос?season=season-mn-1 our dude is using double passive
true, but since puzzle and the windrunner trinket are used as 3min cds and our burst windows get even better, i think a 1,5min cd trinket will be even more better with the change 😄
sure puzzle has a good niche in m+ but generally i feel guidon will be a must :/
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yesnt
Its tuned around not dispelling anything
For very short burst windows it is better than orc/maghar for sure
gotcha
Fwiw it does not seem like the sim has the "augmented" effect
isnt pit of saron isanne coin value next week? assuming you dont have ring neck myth track
But its like 2% behind gaze/plume so even if its a huge buff its still kinda meh
actually do we apexxmaxx again with strike being stronger
Nop
Lots of solid places to use your coin
I think people have gone a bit overboard on the "I MUST GET ALL CRIT NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"
When all i did was change the flask to crit instead of mastery for the simc profile
I have crafted neck, and have many rings I can juggle, and 2 sparks for potential 4th craft.
There is value, but I wouldn't call it insane one at this point
Yesterday I droptimsetd all m+ loot vault track and nothing was more than a 0.9% upgrade I think, I'll have to double check
that means i have to recraft and gem my whole gear set to crit now right 
i did full crit cos i was on paldins and went brrrr as assa
and farm more crit gear
rank 14 cosindering im not assas otp 😄
All my crafts were crit haste (except dagger), becuase I wanted to use them for all 3 specs. Kinda lucky now with reset
i have crafted dagger belt and ring
i have only one item from raid and thats dagger
which is nice
so what's going to be our stats in 2 days? crit- mastery - haste - versa?
Dagger/boots/neck for me, but I'm also solo pug player, so less drops to rely on
Usually try to pug 3/9M and that's it
Nothing changed too much - you want haste breakpoint and crit gains a lot of value on ST
more or less than mastery?
Mastery always good and specifically aoe
Do we already know if we want heavy crit piece like bel'oren ring etc for .5 ?
warning signs or planned execution for m+?
Pinned message
Prob not, Haste breakpoint > Mastery = Crit > Vers
tempted to go full crit for dopamine on screen

godbless if its the case lmao
we indeed want beloren ring
Also keep in mind that stats DR after 30%, staggered each 10% from there and on
(From rating, not total)
not title range by any means but i don't think I'll ever get closer than this
holy
Dunno, nexus point set was bis for me when i farmed M+ for gear
will see when .5 hit servers
i mean we already got "bis" setup anyway
I remember back in SL I had a Theater of Pain 22/23 in that range, it was something between 0.4 and 0.05 sec
at least the JUMP was nerfed
And tyrannical weeks
that one used to break necks+
theater was a complicated dungeon
actually every SL dungeon wasn't simple
Not HoA, the other Ravendreth one was crazy
I ran it so much, I became my guilds main guide for it at thr time
Literally calling out every single kick on every single pack, nocmenr etc
HoA was the easiest one, which made people like it
but yeah sanguine depths was bananas
The other one was... Oof yeah
sanguine 3rd boss...
every boss in SD
The only must play sub Boss in raid is egg Boss ?
was hard
It caught so many nerfs and it was still absolute butt clench
i was venth too because playing sub
so i had to be in charge of the cannisters
i hated it
Crown probably too (Assa is not bad)
trying to open those things without getting 1 shot
i was playing surv hunter and man was that boss rough
Wasn't outlaw the play until like last season?
When we did terrible overall, but we were full funneling
nah sub was meta S2
Ah, the only season I didn't play and didn't get the red mount
also sub could do great overall if you pressed BP
but we were living in bfa combo propoganda
is raidbots bugged for a top gear loaded from armory ?
I was so mad they made prideful not have the red mount
i still wish i could redo that season just pressing BP always in aoe
i would top every single key
oh i hated prideful so much lol
i actually really liked the S2 affix
the tormented thing
was really fun
Too many combinations?
I really liked the idea of prideful, how it changed route and had to play and plan for it
But it was nightmare with pugs
oh it was a nightmare in organized groups too lol
once you got to high enough key levels
prideful was so strong
those mini bosses were so scary
I was a route-sweat back then, so I ran a very tight ship
But yeah, prideful was too much
But back then they were obsessed with kiss/curse (specifically the curse)
And they tried recreate the bwamsandi season
Which people really liked
it was pretty fun when they did that right
it made meaningful routing choices
the S2 lieutenants were fun because you could choose to kill them or not
and they gave really good powers you could have choice with
!log
yooo cloak and evasion on modifiers and vanish too I got some bad neeews for u friend<3 xd
Yeah?
if I understood correctly on wednesday it will be :
haste breakpoint ~700> Crit in single target >= mastery > haste > versatility ?
and in aoe I presume: haste breakpoint 700>mastery>=crit> haste > versatility ? mythic gideon
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is the spreadsheet already updated for the new stuff or was sub always simming that high in st?
stats and sims confuse me
why do we do double backstab on opener with .5 build ?
You dont want to secret technique on 2 combo points
Cause we don’t get Full with shadowstrike
wait a minute
because we don't take premed due to it's other interactions 🙂
quick noob question i was not using the double finisher and instead trying to proc apex every time. I should instead finish twice if i have the combo points right ?
yes
Yes with this exception
!aa
Apex talent optimization:
- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes

- Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
is it ok to use Shadow Blades After Dance/Sec Tech if i trigger it prior to the clones hitting?
or does shadowblades need to be active prior to pressing sec tech
sometimes when fight start i keep trying to get the proc and end up spending one shadow dance its bad right?
You could, but theres no reason to
Amazing read up and update so well written. Thanks for the updates and efforts as always boys @hazy breach @vale pine
referring to the pin or what? 😮
to the pin*
why does my tricks tooltip say lasts 1 hour btw?
bugged?
No
oh?
Thats what the talent So Tricky does
ah! I never noticed this thanks
so I apply it before first pull and never worry about it again right
as a new rogue I worry about it constantly... "did I actually remember to put that up?" last night in skyreach I definitely forgot and felt the repercussions on the first pull
I have a macro for my tank I apply it before every pull xD
!tricks
so I guess I wont need to do this anymore
I don't need the macro as much as I need a weak aura "hey dumbrave, press the button" 🙂
@warm marlin no premed right, i hadnt simmed it yet but it seems better
!log
pit of saron 17 with me tilting because dying and then dying 3 more times because ree
also didn't use shadowblades at a great time
at the start that offset everything else
I need a weakaura "press puzzle box"
is there any addon that screams at your face like WA ? I had a big fkn horn for my CDs back in DF
so apparently Cloud Cover is quite strong. And brings us on par with Ret and Ferals. Should we expect a nerf until Friday?
yes
was already a gain for beloren egg
you have infinite prestacked sht and in lust you gain giga sht
prevents the bug and you get to spend more of them on strike
i didnt check it on second burn ig
but we play for first anyway
the old one?
it looks implemented at first look but maybe its not
ye
i had to add a press distract in apl tho
new cloud cover was like +40k for my egg sim
but ye
the old one sucks
its giga useless
u coach me on trickster law later this week yes?
i ask you question if we get to lura
probably ye
i will noob it up a bit but its ok

will we have some change on the bises? I guess
hey, I am fairly new to gearing and I just started with simming and the sims I did showed me that dagger in off hand is like 2,5-3% dps gain vs my current off hand (fist weapon) with equal ilvl. I don't really get why this is? what makes dagger so much better in off hand?
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
does the trickster change in the patch notes buff us in any way?
yes
sub player now?
just for beloren
😡
otulaw buffed zac szn 
I got puzzlebox on week one on my enhance shaman, and it's so toxic to use, i refuse to get it on the rogue even if it shows up
I have it on my DH and hate it
I always tend to forget pressing it because its so ass
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
now got it on rogue too T_T
stats for wednesday: 935 crit, 602 haste , 631 mastery
unbuffed at all-
i need more haste, right?
Are there any (very rough) numbers for the cloud cover changes to sub burst specifically? Just thinking of beloren egg damage where I'm currently playing assa
Go sub
This is why i feel like it's sim bait, at least for me
25% more burst in our burst window - 6% overall ST buff, its good stuff
It isn't sim bait, because when used properly it's very very strong. The problem is it's awkward to use and increases cognitive load for some people. So it results in worse feeling, worse play, worse usage.
You don't have to use it
oh, i said for me it is 🙂
Some gearing changes? Especially on trinkets?
No
Oki, thanku
finally, we return to vanilla rogue

fair enough to those that like it but holy moly is it boring
SND>Evis. Even current sub has some nuance but is simple. It has sort of grown on me
I like current Sub a lot. It just needs one more button and interaction.
i will never and you cannot stop me 🙂
lust on pull just send it monkey brain activated
Dont do that
current sub feels good, but death from above sub wins for me - it was the best
damn near 30s of 24% more dmg is gonna be quite nice
You already have 1 stack of it
I also cant wait to hit real hard with SS
So its not not 24% more
how is it 30s? xd
fine 16%
but it is still closer to 20-25% in burst due to our build changes right? as SS hitting harder
isn't cloud cover 10s?
No
how long does cloud cover last?
Fazed stacks last 10s
cloud buff really lasts 20s
so the final application should let you extend it to around 30s
cloud lasts 10, we get 10 seconds after leaving cloud, and the fazed stacks last an additional 10
@hazy breach thoughts? unbuffed , naked 935 crit , 602 haste , 631 mastery. i need bit more haste , right?
More haste and sim yourself
Yes, except if you proc unseen blade and apply fazed again it resets down to 1
ooooo
i dont think i can get 100 more haste unless i flask it , but then i can change ring enchants from haste to crit and gems
damn any thing we can do to game that
and i think that's the play cause i cannot get 100 more haste
i guess not really
nop
The only reason we not taking premed in 12.0.5 is because of a bug right?
No
Its working as intended
ICD on unseen is 15s?
Fk
Right just thinking about how likely it is that it can proc at that 20-25s mark
i suppose it doesnt matter
as rotations remains the same
eleem sir. question. if i can't get 100 more haste through gear- is it fair to flask haste and regem/reenchant and that way i can get 700 haste ?
You want 700 hastte
since there's absolutely no way in game to see if your autoattacks reset unseen blades, the only way to keep the buff longer would be to not use builders
but that seems like a counterproductive move for your damage
ty
so more realistically 20 seconds in the window which aligns to the SB duration, with maybe some bonus time?
not practical
we do have builders that generate cp without proccing unseen blade 
no its a min of 20s
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
which is our burst window
Hast cap still a thing on tmrw ? Especcialy for dungeons
ofc
Ye but they dont do any damage
ranged rogue when?
haste is a thing - nothing changes
Yes literally nothing changes
Besides opener with premed
wdym shuriken toss goes crazy
I have a question: I have 3 items crafted with haste mastery, should I put critical haste on them?
No
only thing is , for me specifically, idk what gear u guys have, if i also wanna get 700 haste, most of my crit and haste pieces are massive crit and i cannot get 700
has anyone simmed themselves on the new ptr changes to see a rough estimate of how crit is waited for trickster vs mastery?
Not sure how to do the ptr thing tbh
is there a soft line between stacking crit and still having some mastery? that's why we don't recraft<3?
Done
but isn't crit bette than mastery? that's what i'm asking
Y have 22% crit 20 haste 85 mastery
Is good?
Just get the Haste cap and then do whatever
but question what would be better? i'm talking unbuffed for refferance. 32% crit 53% mastery OR 24% crit 68% mastery
Is your haste = 700 (684 pre-oils) or greater? Just stack Crit+mastery. Donezo
this is a question only the sim can answer really, but it's going to be very small differences either way
I think you're putting way too much thought into secondaries
How big is the cloud created by SB?
in which case, if it's that close monkey brain likes crit on screen monkey do crit
Massive
bigger than the pvp smoke bomb
this big
we get it, you vape
I saw a screenshot of it earlier, lemme find it
I don't remember who posted it, I did not make it, but: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/316923898501529600/1495604247243526224/image.png?ex=69e6d97f&is=69e587ff&hm=b60a19a173b3c2921d38ac2cc5b363c6e7d7bdd56fbd97eed1736784bf985720&
pretty effin huge
holy
Your post is better, Guy's example is more useful
thats huge
Now blizzard is gonna add a bunch of gray mechanics to fuck with us
like Ashen Hollow diameter
Other people can see it right
ye
I hope so
LMAO
it'll likely be muted like other folks' spell effects are
look man it's about time we got a cool visual to annoy people with
or less visually obtrusive hopefully
i hope it will be exactly like that for other people
I'm sick IRL and i cannot cook and i ordered and mf it's been 1h 15 mins and no tacos in sight 
I need to coach our tanks come tuesday that its a good thing to stand in

teach 'em
What's the most annoying mechanic to pop it over. I need to know for malicious reasons.
vorasius tank hit ?
oh, oh. Orb circles on Dwagons.
oh that's a good one
the -80% damage done circle on Crown
just stand in your ranged clump and pop it, see what happens
Hahaha
Voraius and Dwagons are my current top two. Voraius is probably less annoying because you grow big and it glows red
But dwagon orb spawn circles. I bet I can kill people there.
hell yeah
So will crit be better than mastery even in m+ now

think I might recraft my dagger at least to haste/crit instead of mastery since I'm quite mastery heavy atm
No
I'll probably swap my gems once I've gotten myth nexus rings.
as I have quite literally twice as much mastery as crit
Very modest
i'd wait until reset before doing anything so you know 100% sims are correct
i'm resisting upgrading or changing anything with myth crests just in case
ye I'm not making any moves til I see how it goes live
Ye there's no rush. We also need to see how the bonus rolls work and if they work as intended.
^^
I couldnt search for it but once you select expert mode for simming- where and what do you paste to sim the PTR build pls?
I'll stack vers to hedge against inflationary prepatch sims!
Become immune to damage
mine will likely be pit and npx rings
Gaze into Guidon into Nexus
I'm affraid my guild will make me spec out of smokebomb cause they complain about shit like this. " i couldn't see " etc. i know it's skill issue but xd
Come back in 7 weeks and see how lucky i've been.
it is a really big smoke bomb xd
I think we're starting with myth chim thurs since our RL was pugging for reps on it
so if we down it it'll be a gaze angle then too
It actually messes with view? Thats pretty lame if true
RL just slamming pugs to learn the fight?
probs not using a vcore on myth guidon
ye he's great
That's a cool RL, honestly.
real trooper
Putting the time into actual practice goes so hard
yeah he's easily the most prep-enthusiastic RL I've encountered
i used every influence i had to get our first myth guidon to our sub
This patch makes solar flare prism a lot better right?
can get a bit fixated on trying to force a single strat but he's gotten a lot better about being flexible and experimenting this season
which I appreciate
meanwhile my RL is just over here vibeleading
Not any more than any other ground effects
I think pugging does put you in a mind of how a fight SHOULD be solved. I'm very guilty of it, 'cos pug strats tend to be a thing for a reason, and in organized groups you can actually do sutff differently.
dev evokers firestorm really annoyed me last xpac
why does the sim backstab after dance (ptr sim)
Because you don’t have premed
So it’s likely trying to danse shit again
rerun it and see if it does it again
I only got it to do it once but maybe fuu or eleem has a better answer
Doesnt matter much for the results, but should be fixed soontm

it didnt do it this time
Maybe because the dance was followed by evis and not a builder
yooo backstabing to 7cp is so cursed i can't even wrap my head around it... It's like that toxic ex which all of your friends told u she's bad for you but you were stuborn
New addon for cuttoffs https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/keystone-cutoffs
according to the sim, 4 seconds before we can blast
4s before what?:D
thats how long the opener before you pop it all is
that's like twice as long!
100% more time! 🙂
Not that bad really
if you are lusting on pull..
I can't bro I just can't
itll feel poop but we will live
I can't do it
it is like 1% difference?
it is bro, it is.
the backstab soup in the opener is just the apéritif
if you dont have lust and you happen to be in a key without a shaman
i will not speak
what about the other times? when we're not in all cds and u want that full cp generation?
bad times ahead
hooooly saved
ephemeral bond goes hard: then you can tell your healers LOOK. I EVEN THOOK 8% HEALING INCREASE and u didn't heal me xd
no lust -
the main thing is you can lowroll
yooo it's been 1h 45 min for that taco order my stomach is growling
im just speaking from experience here of playing no premed no lust on pull for beloren a bit
there are times it can be real bad
bro lives in the boonies
so a sim with war/monk/shaman buffs is almost 2k dps better than swapping shaman with hunter
ouch
i swear they usually deliver in 30 mins, ordered v much from them in the past idk what happened now. a mistake but it's all g
Them fixing the ghost shuriken storm bug and then this 😭
PTR stat weights for me right now - ST build patchwork 5 min-
using stat weights instead of topgear
let me try that instead
or just play premed. 
Have some reason for use trinket before and not together on a macro with shadow blades
they intentionally put stat weights in a back corner so people dont use it
and people still do
son 😭
Do for dgs pls
there is a delay for the haste buff from guidon to apply to dance duration
idk what the command is anymore
dont think its !guidon
people don’t have gigga hard haste breakpoints any more, yet here we are.
Idk, I'm sometimes still looking at stat weights to understand why top gear makes certain decisions
thats above my paygrade
stat weights sometimes tells me how to set up my very important gem sims so I dont go over the 16M limit of iterations
This man speaks truth
Bro wtf
Fuck blizzard
😡
hmm, i cant import yet the new AoE talent on pins, is a new spell being introduced tomorrow? I thought cloud cover was getting remaked only
Forofnis catching up slower than deepening shadows
I’m confused at your confusion
Cloud cover is new. Due to it talent choices are possibly changing.
the ST one worked, I was just trying to let it be ready
yea
What bro
I love sub
😭
the guidon thing has existed for weeks now
some basic tree talents also changed
yeah i'm just used to pressing shadowblades after sec tech cause of last tier
Was no reason to last tier either
I dont have guidon só is good to knoe
that's true, just used to pressing it cause that's the way i grew up
Is good to know, now i need the guidance 
yep, that did the trick yea
sick man. thank you<3
you got a really big heart and you're handsome
second rogue living the mastery dream trust in the process
just crit every finisher
yes but can we talk about max renown
xd voidlight marl enjoyer
I did 71 mastery
Not so much but
my man has like 1900 or so dont recommend but it is funny
????
Thats pdiddys values
Maybe If i switch rings and neck lol
it is not good for dps dont do it
I have slacked so hard. I had renown ~14 before season started, I'm about same now
Only silvermoon one max
For fun only
ye I've done zero rep shit besides soiree bc its easy coffer shards
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
can we launch puzzle box into the sun in favour of a crit trinket now then
damn approx gain of 2.3% if i swap all gems to crit/mast, recraft items to crit/haste and change enchant to janalais over arcane mastery
in ST or Dslice?
Anyone have tips for getting the 2nd sectec in the blades window without guidon. I struggle with even 890 haste. (Need to flask to get over 800) By time I cast sec tec the CD remaining on it is almost always the same time as the remaining uptime on blades….
are you using a blades/dance/sectec macro
U don’t try it just go for normal dance as 2nd and 3rd is sectech again After blades
I use the dance/tec macro but that’s not helpful in the opening?
you should have a separate one that includes blades
if you have any gap between blades and sectec itll be harder to fit the second one in
I see
sectecs clones hit 1.2s after initial hit?
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use 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 could sometimes get both my clones in at 814 haste on laggy dummies in silvermoon yesterday
you don't want to macro guidon with dance
blades with dance is fine as long as its a separate button
you might want to dance without blades
THERES A delay so idt you should macro trinket like that
what is the delay between hitting sectec and the clones hitting?
0.6s and 1.2s
ty
1.2
It’s that animation that kills me
i have a bind for guidon alone, blades/dance/racial/sectec, dance/sectec, and then the array of stupid dance/x macros for the second dance of blades
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/a21Y8wSZpVQUCaMjMTUgat something seems off but Forgotten Farstrider's Insignia is simming as my best secondary trinket even though its champion tier (+93 Agility +102 Mastery)
Gaze/Plume >> just about everything else. Use your best option, even if it’s just champ crucible.
I'm worried about people bitching and moaning about how they couldn't see x on the ground cause of smoke bomb xd :))
Especially as an escuse if they don't wanna admit xd skill issue xd 
Is the fazed stacking to 3x thing only during smoke bomb, or will fazed still stack outside of it?
During cloud cover
only during the buff it gives
Oki ty ty
They will probably make the visual less massive for other ppl
They've done it for many other skills in the past
Are we still gonna wanna hold our second dance for second sectec, or send second dance immediately for more dance time in the smokebomb?
