well so we haev 1 chance ;d

#

cause we have only 2 rolls

#

at least for raid,

#

i will just yolo 1st boss xD and pray for guidon then

#

I am sick of this feather trink

#

#

skyreach has all good items for us holy shit

#

obsidian crag
#

and u can also catalyst the gear from skyreach if u feel like

raw frost
#

yes

#

i have 263 champ spo i need parts

#

for catalysting

#

#

and the prism is good as well

obsidian crag
red flame
#

Does it roll per boss I’d assume, whereas in m+ you roll the whole dungeon?

hazy breach
#

Yes

red flame
#

Loot-table wise

red flame
#

Do we get 2 today or do we know yet

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

2 every week

red flame
#

Fk yea

fleet wharf
#

how does it work with the socket items?

hazy breach
#

What

red flame
#

I can’t wait to crash out when I get Oozing Vestige on my roll ✨

fleet wharf
#

like do you get 2 per week no matter what or do you need to spend the socket currency for the 2 rolls?

hazy breach
#

You get 2 per week

#

If you take the thing from vault, you get 1 (or 2? idk) more

red flame
#

6 merit tokens for the 1 extra roll

#

From vault

hazy breach
#

Ye so 1

red flame
#

I do know that

golden basin
#

if you picked tokens last week and did not spend wouldnt you get 2 rerolls?

red flame
#

Bonus roll shi is the higher ilv too ya?

golden basin
#

since they are unique (12)

red flame
#

Or can stuff that wasn’t rolled be upgraded too

red flame
#

But tbf

#

It’s blizz we’re talking abt

#

No fun allowed, remember?

fleet wharf
#

idk demon hunters seem to be having plenty of fun

red flame
#

But should function that way yes

red flame
#

New classes/specs are always special for a time

I just wanted to say I’m having fun

happy for you friend

#

having cds out of gcd is the best thing , imo

red flame
#

Imagine having feelings as an individual & not a hivemind

hardy olive
#

hey, is it advised to get all of the grim jest pieces for sub?

#

i'm able to get the chest piece, but not sure if that's advised or to spend the material on another piece

obsidian crag
lilac stag
red flame
#

I enjoy them

hardy olive
#

Is this still the go to for Sub? - "For Subtlety Rogue, you want to focus getting your 2-set from Masquerade of the Grim Jest Icon Masquerade of the Grim Jest and Venom Casks of the Grim Jest. Because the stats are great, you will also get another tier piece, Blade Holsters of the Grim Jest."

lilac stag

So excited to terrorize the group w it every 90secs DogKek

#

Also I been dying for Smoke Bomb back so this is like the next best thing flavor wise

slender kraken
#

I probably answer this my self but guessing sim my char. See where best drops are and roll my bonuses rolls there

slender kraken
wet robin
woeful wren
#

Btw. If we have an item from the boss. Do we know if u still can get that item from bonus roll (item wasn't gained via bonus roll)

wintry heart
#

Yes, you’ve only get protection if you’ve looted it with the bonus rolls

raw frost
#

We have 2 bonus rolls next week and 1 extra if you dont pick item from vault i think

#

I believe

muted kindle
dark roost
#

what is our damage profile like? i can sustain 220k dps on 5 targets as assass but cant get anywhere near as sub

thin sinew
#

sub and sustain in the same sentence 💔

hazy breach
#

Which aint gonna be active at all times in practice

dark roost
#

that is almost certainly it

#

thank you. one quick other question - since dance and blades are naturally unsynced - do i hold dance for 10s, or hold blades for 10s?

hazy breach
#

You dont dance on cooldown

#

You dance with sectech

karmic harbor
#

is there a way to sim with the .5 talents?

#

do i need to download simulationcraft

hazy breach
#

Yes there are ways, but you can also just wait

karmic harbor
#

ptr=1 in the expert mode section

#

thankyou ghost of eleem past

thin sinew
#

people waiting in 2026 pah

raw frost
#

So dance with sectec always

#

Due to dmg in aoe

#

Or st as well

dusky yacht
#

You always do sectec on cooldown immediately after dance, this can be macro'd, altho it's wise to also bind dance seperately

#

AoE or ST doesn't matter

fiery fog
#

btw how would the gameplay loop change with the upcoming changes?
does it stay roughly the same? (just no premed?)

hazy breach
#

Exactly the same besides no premed

graceful osprey
#

I am ready for another week of vault disappointment

crystal bone
#

no premed meaning no apex shinanigans now?

#

apex optimization*

hazy breach
#

The only thing premed changes is the opener

fathom adder
#

how do you play the second boss in caverns with the adds you need to cross? just wait at the boss until it is near enough to the other one? run out and "steer" it? both feels weird for me

dark roost
#

do i send the dance+tech, or hold both for blades

#

obv if i send, blades is going to sit on cd for 10s - so its just what one

tribal blade
#

on reset it'll be even better to hold at that point

dark roost
tribal blade
#

because we're gonna have much more dmg in blades

dark roost
#

but obv im not a sim

obsidian crag
dark roost
#

yeah im always double dancing

radiant swift
#

tbh very often u can (imo) send dance+stec even in those scenarios esp on end of packs because u will have everything up on the next ones due to normal downtime

#
  • sending a couple more dance+stecs overall
sudden quarry
#

Why does PTR sim tell me to run even lower haste than before? Cring

empty bobcat
#

crit values more now, maybe you have enough haste to fit a 2nd sectec into blades? I think you dont need more haste if thats the case, but I can be wrong

sudden quarry
#

nope, can't be it. I'm on 690ish right now

#

and it wants to cut 160 from my ring to the crit mastery ring. fucking weird

dreamy inlet
#

didnt check today but raidbots doesnt seem to be on par with the 700 haste stuff (with guidos and after oils for example). always suggest throw haste for mastery

sharp peak
#

that's because the sims never have 700 haste.

dreamy inlet
#

yeah so just dont mind those

sudden quarry
#

yes i know, but now it seems to rate haste even lower

sharp peak
#

what does even lower mean

#

because the sims before .5 sims had haste at 616

#

and that's been there

wintry heart
#

the robot is also a robot who can hit buttons faster than a 32 year old dad of 3

sharp peak
#

that's correct

barren wedge
#

as the new blades buff a lot shadowstrike, would it be worse it to use vanish during blades between the 2 dances for one more shadowtrike ?

swift tinsel
#

Happy Cloud Cover Day!

sudden quarry
#

changing that ring for example would result in under 600

left ledge
#

@hazy breach is it still going to be worth holding the second dance until 2 sec on sectec in blades

#

Surely we just send the dance right

junior ether
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm

This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.

/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Light's Potential
/cast Ancestral Call

Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:

/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder

You can find more macros and details in Guides like wowhead WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

barren wedge
left ledge
#

Oh really

sharp peak
#

we've always sent second dance with 8 seconds left

left ledge
#

I swear I remember reading some 2 sec sectec thing

barren wedge
#

I remember it was a thing in early TC yes

left ledge
#

Ok well then it don’t matter tyty

junior ether
#

wowhead and icy pages gonna be updated tomorrow with talents and other improtant info right?

#

i know it's pinned just asking

sharp peak
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

sudden quarry
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

The sectech thing was insanely hard to do well (as you also want to use the dance at the end of your guidon) whereas this sims the same but is infinitely easier

swift tinsel
#

same with IV

hazy breach
#

Ye think both of them have been updated already, or will be in time for the patch hitting NA

swift tinsel
#

Method slacking

#

smh

#

well we get a full 8 hours maintenance

barren wedge
hazy breach
#

Well yeah

barren wedge
#

would we use vanish during blade but between the 2 dances then for 1 extra shadowtrike ?

fiery fog
void ocean
#

tho its a small price to pay for 6% buff

fiery fog
#

i take it ngl

limpid sage
#

how come we don't take PV with the new Cloud Cover? Still not worth even with the ginormous strikes?

fiery fog
#

more burst also means

#

more egg dmg on beloren

#

less time spent on that horrible boss

#

i feel like my eyes are getting fried after progging 4 hours mythic beloren

sudden quarry
#

is there a way to include the boes into the droptimizer, or is it only possible by manually adding?

hazy breach
limpid sage
#

so cooked how it's a bottom row talent

#

drop apex 4 for PV 5Head

swift tinsel
west arch
#

Why does the macro use Shadow Dance first and then Shadow Blades?

fiery fog
#

because it doesnt matter as long as sectec is last

west arch
#

Ahh ok

#

It could be SB and then SD tech

#

im pumped for cloud gameplay

#

so how bad is sub now doing in the raid setup. with asa and outlaw becoming meta suddenly

swift tinsel
#

huh

#

wym "becoming meta suddenly"

lilac stag
#

Da Fuq

fiery fog
#

ah yes
the 3 outlaw players define the meta

sullen flicker
#

alr i will concide the outlaw isnt right looking at logs. but assa is doing allot beter now.

swift tinsel
#

sin has been doing well all season if you're looking at boss damage

spice matrix
warm marlin
barren wedge
#

assa is bis on paladins and was on beloren, but with changes I think sub will be better on beloren at least

swift tinsel
#

even with Rotten

#

hoping to see the classic wowhead "how much % you gain this patch" post and our 5-6% confuses people when our single target burst goes to the moon

Ho man relax

and had to hold cd for it

It's just assa

leaden prairie
#

There is a weak aura that changes settings per spec yes

#

And yes

void ocean
swift tinsel
#

anyone else using M33kauras, do conditions just not work in combat or what

leaden prairie
#

Most things can't work

swift tinsel
#

ye kinda figured

leaden prairie
#

It's all secrets

swift tinsel
#

tried messing with it the other day and it worked for just basic cdm reskinning etc but any actual work was broken as soon as I got into combat

#

even escalating blade stacks on the aura went away as soon as they updated in combat, was annoying

#

was hoping to full swap off arc

#

could do sound alerts for all kinds of stuff but had to do it as an invisible text aura lol

leaden prairie
#

Unless you code stuffs to hook onto the CDM you can't track auras with weak auras

swift tinsel
#

oof

lilac stag
#

@warm marlin I need the feels for Paladin prog. Assa or Outlaw now? feelcraft

swift tinsel
#

outlaw's been growing on me ngl

#

might 1h craft

wet robin

Outlaw is super fun

fair phoenix
#

70 hours maintenance now, uhu!

lilac stag
#

Depends how NA beta test goes

swift tinsel
#

8 more hours woo

fair phoenix
swift tinsel
#

just wish KS did damage

wet robin
#

Im just glad sub is going to have situational burst again, excited to see by how much

crystal bone
swift tinsel
fair phoenix
swift tinsel
#

what does that have to do with killing spree

fair phoenix
#

just gigachadding skill

leaden prairie
#

For sure

#

But it's harder to play than assa especially on that boss

#

So idk kinda depends right

warm marlin
#

outlaw def theoretically better

#

if your strat has you doing the ranged soak like me maybe not

#

maybe mega cope but it kinda feels like assa is even more uptime dependent than sub

#

you don't really run out of energy ever on 3 targets so you're losing globals any time you're forced out of melee on that fight

leaden prairie
#

Ye well

#

Don't have that many melees

#

That you need ranged soaks

#

Dk and paladins can do it also

warm marlin
#

i wasnt in first day so a healer stole my spot in the melee soak

#

we only played fury rogue as 2 melee

leaden prairie
#

Gege

eager latch
#

how big of a dps gain is it to switch off of premed

#

after today's changes

warm marlin
#

like 0.8% or something

backstabbing to 7 in opener sounds awful bro

#

damn that's quite a bit

so i have to go

grand galleon
#

would like to see the droprate of the upgrade cores

swift tinsel
#

imagine they're like early legion leggo drops

grand galleon
#

is it bad or good? wasnt playing legion

swift tinsel
#

they're probs similar to cata charge drops

#

if I had to guess

grand galleon
#

well, then I am foked as last 11 runs I dropped no manaflux FeelsWeird

swift tinsel
#

could just as easily be guaranteed, will find out later

lilac stag
#

probably going to vault as outlaw this week

chilly kite
#

so this voidcore thing, do you need to kill a boss on mythic to roll on the myth quality bonus roll or any difficulty?

leaden prairie
#

Mythic

swift tinsel
#

each difficulty has its own pool

#

so ye you'd have to kill on mythic for myth roll

chilly kite
#

so worthless if you don'treally raid mythic cool

swift tinsel
#

not really

#

if you're doing hc then you get hc rolls

chilly kite
#

don't need anything on hc

swift tinsel
#

can also get 2 additional myth pieces from M+ per week

chilly kite
#

litterly just need mythic gear at this point, but i'm not on the mythic roster because... rogue lol

swift tinsel
#

you can get good myth track loot from m+

hollow spear
#

Get two m+ pieces then

swift tinsel
#

a lot, actually

#

besides gaze/guidon

vale osprey
chilly kite
#

i have hero track gaze/guidon and myth track puzzlebox

swift tinsel
#

and crown/lura neck

hollow spear
#

Pug first boss mythic

swift tinsel
#

so then you can get 3x myth track from vault and rolls

hollow spear
#

Ez clap

vale osprey
swift tinsel
#

with new system

chilly kite
#

how bad is pug chim myth?

vale osprey
#

We 1 pulled it this week in a pug, some guy invited who was "5/9 myth" but he kinda stunk, so I just told people not to kick essences, put markers down for where to stack in intermission start and then it was easy

hazy breach
# fair phoenix

Lets think a bit more carefully about our wording the next time

chilly kite
#

jeez my guild can't even kill it organized lol, our ranged don't know what an interrupt button is

vale osprey
#

DK/Warlock in each group, tell em what to do, ez

fair phoenix
#

if u wanna carry on add part tell rl to put u on group 1 so u can soak the last one before the skips after intermission

#

adds have extra absorv

fair phoenix
chilly kite
#

i was being force to use attroph, kept saying i should use mind numb. since our lock always forgets tongues

chilly kite
#

i'll have to see if i'm in raids this week, if not i'll go pug it and hopefully get lucky

fair phoenix
#

rage raid leader and get aura

warm marlin
chilly kite
#

the one night i was in on our chim pulls, our normal rl wasn't there so it was a bit of a cluster fk

fair phoenix
#

not numr or tongues

#

is sub still looking top for both m+ and raid?

fair phoenix
chilly kite
#

i think our only talent change is just the 1 hero talent right?

fair phoenix
#

go for sub supremacy

fading saffron
#

so uh oh outlaw time?

fair phoenix
#

#

#

i wonder if they are doing any tuneing we don't know about

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
cedar eagle
#

They posted a massive itemized patch list, its just a .5 patch these usually run late

chilly kite
#

idk sometimes there is more tuneing in the official notes

#

can't wait for raid time to be delayed like 40 minutes because of elvui like it is every patch lol

#

where are all the class changes i don't see them on wowhead or on the browser

imagine they fixed deepening shadow for it to be instant...but I guess that is too much from indie company

and you've checked the example rotation that it's not doing something funky? I remember playing without apex 4 completely messed with sims before

wraith zealot

hi guys i wonder if 659 haste is enough i use my shadow dance twice befre shadowblade run out so i dont know need add bit more haste ?

still gazelle

Does the rotation really change with today's changes?

lilac stag

still gazelle
#

Wait, that sounds awful lol

swift tinsel

apex 4 doesn't have any specific calls in updated apl

still gazelle
#

How does that look?

warm marlin
#

the example rotation looked normal to me

swift tinsel
#

ye same

warm marlin
#

if you dont edit it at all it will just spam strike to activate aa4 when you arent talented into it

#

not very good

limpid sage
swift tinsel

oh ye I took that part out lol

dusky yacht

It looks like backstabbing until 7 cp

That does the example opener look like in AOE and ST?

I can pop my haste trinket during that instead of before the fight

Why are you using a haste trinket before the fight

#

Can the voidforge be empowered pre-raid?

swift tinsel

probably

if you're 5/5 going into today

still gazelle
#

For them big upgrades

swift tinsel
#

the shards are giga easy to get

still gazelle
#

Yeah I'm 5/5

swift tinsel
#

just do delves or lfr for shards

Yeah you can just do bountiful delves

swift tinsel
#

or quick m+

still gazelle
#

And for the big upgrade you don't do anything special?

#

Just that content and bam, bigger dagger?

#

We don’t know yet

#

I don’t believe

No one knows that currency

they drop from the same stuff as manaflux apparently

plus preys

but fuck those

#

Have you tried playing the game?

swift tinsel

my alt dk has gotten like 6-8, rogue maybe 4-5

my main rogue has looted like 14 and another of our raiders has done 80 keys since 4p and gotten 3 total charges

still gazelle
#

Easy resources.

lilac stag
#

20 keys is nothing

ye early on one of our mages got 4-5 drops before I got 1 and we got 4pc the same time and were running the same amount of content

i hit the 8 cap the first week i got 4p

#

2 1/2 weeks of vaults? W/e.

Do you delves, weekly world, preys, heroic, mythic, etc it all adds up

I’ve gotten 2 from special assignment weekly wq

swift tinsel
#

by far

fading saffron
#

With stat prios looking like its all Crit/Haste now, we can pretty much play whatever for the most part, right? Just change weps and trinkets?

timid rose

are catalysts the new valor stones? either you have 0 or you are capped

they drop omega fast in there

Since we're not using premed, you'll Strike, backstab, backstab (guidon) then continue as normal

Maybe they can nerf our cleave more

I really hope not though bc its really only 5-6% overall which is kinda necessary

they didn't update Deepening

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm

This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.

/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Light's Potential
/cast Ancestral Call

Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:

/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder

You can find more macros and details in Guides like wowhead WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

the ability to pull cd timers to fit fight timers

vs just aligning them when they could naturally

just an insane power move

blades and flag being different cd timers when you want them to align were the problem

Fuu, in your professional feelycrafted opinion, how do you see these buffs today affecting mythic plus representation? With the last set of buffs, assassination seemed to become more popular. Do you think Sub will pull ahead in higher keys?

How long until slow mode?

fiery fog

dust was a solution to the problem

is the 700 haste breakpoint with or without buffs/consumables?

this "is the 700 haste breakpoint with or without buffs/consumables?" should be added to FAQ imo

which is exactly what i needed during all that hell on Smolderon

smolderon was one of the easier fights for this imo

since you just had to assign yourself vanish cds for the interm

#

we even had 2 vanish
this shit was broken as hell man

#

wdym you can just erase 1 min off your cds?

iirc sub was still worse than assa that season

south pelican

Is our rotation exactly the same with this patch? What’s this smokebomb thing I’m hearing, we ain’t pressing distract are we

void ocean

it was just played on Smold cause of timers

fiery fog

it was insanly nice for tmog runs as well
sprint, speed shroud, vanish, sprint for 36 sec of 100% movement speed buff

still gazelle
# vale pine sub/outlaw def. will see more play now

I know that the answer is to run personal Sims, but after swapping back to assassination I was prioritizing crit and haste with the sprinkling of mastery. Do you think that mythic plus stats will be still skewed towards mastery and crit after hitting a certain break point? Or will it mostly be crit focused? Would I enjoyed about assassination. Was using the same stats for single Target and AOE. Curious if it'll be more like that now with subtlety.

void ocean

i played it on Nymue as well to practice for Smold

I just hate simming multiple sets of gear.

ye sin just looked really good at the outset bc it was strong post-rework

as it was the only finished spec post-rework lol

i think they were equal on tindral, just u picked sub if u wanted more dmg on roots innit

swift tinsel
#

and was getting PI/wft

Sub was probably better/equal even before the nerfs

#

Assa just looked insane on logs because nothing was attributed to augs correctly

ye true

the aug wildcard log days

blizz pulled that classic double whammy on assa cause we were getting PI then u get nerfed then u lose PI xD

i hate pi with a passion

being reliant on other ppls cds

Do we know with the coin system coming, if we are unable to get myth drops from dungeons/raids that we already owned before patch. E.g. if I roll Vorasius but already have the wrist at 6/6 myth, can I drop them from coin?

hazy breach
vale osprey
swift tinsel
#

just gotta get all the gear you already got out of the way

#

or highroll the item you want first try

swift tinsel

no in between

just get the item you want 1st try

#

problem solved

marble comet

!sim

swift tinsel
#

that part is gonna be frustrating but hey comes with the territory

fiery fog
#

alleria is actually so nice to bonus roll on

swift tinsel
#

would be nice if it included vault

fiery fog
#

4 items and 2 are really good

#

legs and neck

#

feet are good too nvm

still gazelle
#

With the coins, is any item guaranteed? Or can you still just get gold like with the old bonus rolls?

fiery fog
#

3/4 good items

marble comet
#

how to sim as sub?

still gazelle
#

Oh that's pretty sick then.

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

overall its a nice system

still gazelle
#

People will complain, but it's a lot better than the jokes we all used to spam "Tee hee I rolled bonus gold"

swift tinsel
#

don't get item from raid normally? not have it in your vault? roll

swift tinsel
#

I'll be rolling pit and npx/aa

fiery fog
#

i just get the neck from vault

#

and dont need to use it on alleria

wintry heart
timid rose
#

you can still get a duplicate if you picked it up from the vault or got it as a drop, but eventually you can get all the items from a dungeon at myth if you give it enough weeks

vale osprey
timid rose
#

going to need to figure out which dungeon makes the most sense to use the rolls on to get hte items you need.

vital flax
#

Probably pit

wintry heart
#

Pit or skyreach makes the most sense for me via droptomizer

swift tinsel
vital flax
#

Everything is crit haste in there

swift tinsel
#

depending on your current gear

#

droptimizer doesn't really take haste breakpoint into consideration

vale osprey
swift tinsel
#

unless that's been updated

vale osprey
#

Nah it doesn't I'm always looking out for the haste BP tho

swift tinsel
#

I personally don't really sim anymore for the most part bc I'm odd

#

I know how much haste I have and can get from which pieces or by swapping gems

hazy breach
#

Pit / skyreach /nexus point is what i would recommend

#

Or chim m if thats available

swift tinsel
#

once we start myth chim that'll be my raid roll

hazy breach
#

But obviously depends on what you have already

swift tinsel
#

since we don't do myth alleria/lura

light hull
#

All my crafted gear is Crit+haste, should I switch them to Haste+Mastery? Is there any Crit/Master cap we need to get?

timid rose
#

yeah, those 3 wer on the list, it's more just comparing it against my current items, and whatever the vault deigns to grace me with 🙂

so how will it work? for example I've upgraded Vorasius myth dagger then got Beloren. Do I have to spend another upgrade item for a new dager? anyone got the info?

I guess haste is more for the talent that converts it to duration

vale pine

you won't upgrade a heroic weapon

#

so either your crafted, or any mythic weapon you got (dagger ofc)

How often can we upgrade?

Like weekly?

You can, in theory, just get an additional reroll token from vault

and then roll 3 times in e.g. skyreach

skyreach has a dagger

esp if the goal is targeted loot

we're effectively capped on crests right now so all these myth items are essentally heroic for quite a while

either gamble on gaze

You'll typically be able to cast a finisher twice on opener due to SHT stacking very fast with lust, etc. But that's most likely what it is, just the Apex working.
