i feel like crit is not doing anything for me - when I had high mastery it ffelt like i pumper the hardest
okay go get high mastery then
Is that 650-700 after oils - keep doubting myself lately on this
Yesterday I pugged myth chim as sub in the morning, boss dmg was popping, but the spec felt off, idk
it's 700 before pressing any trinkets
you can use whatever you want to get to that point
right only did 2 keys this week as sub with her crit and fgelt off
700 haste right
yeah i was wondering if dungeon slice might be undervalueing crit
Do you happen to know what haste it should be with everything up (Inc trinket)
no. just get 700 haste with guidon, 800 haste with pbox
But taking into account full hero and full myth lol
Or am I cooked
youre cooked
get your appropriate breakpoint
acquire crit/mastery
any stat difference you have between the two
unless its like omega imbalanced
and you somehow have acquired 0 crit and all mastery
which isn't even possible
it won't matter
Did some stats sim, crit is very very very little difference to mastery, it's nearly the same
we use 2min trinkets like 3min trinkets right?
yes
well
at a basic level yes
arguarbly cooldown management and when you press things will have much more impact than whatever stats you have (past stat weights)
at a basic level you press on cooldown
and you'll be fine
because overthinking generally leads to bad
but then if you want to start consider fight timings
lets assume we're playing with premed here
the boss dies at 3:50
so you send at
0:00 (pbox)
1:30 (no pbox)
you could send at
3:00 with no pbox
or you could send at 3:30 with pbox
you are still getting the same amount of cooldown casts
but youre now getting another use of pbox
stuff like that will have more impact than 50 more crit/mastery adjustment
but again, that's a bit more complex
Is there anyoone else having an issue when using their SB/SD/ST macro for opener? my Sechtec is not going off, i had to press it again for it to go off...<
and you need to understand fight timings more
im seeing something similar vinde
SB currently costs 30 energy

827 crit with flask and oils, 687 haste, 968 mastery.
Starting to think I shouldn't even recraft my neck, can't see anything anywhere about recraft bug being fixed.
Plus this doesn't look too bad tbh.
Do we know whether raidbots sim premed bug?
i did but am i blind? i cant seem to see anything on it?
oh, sorry i was looking for sectec not SB issue. ok that makes sense.
lol this spec is not fun i dont wanna drop my CD's and have the tank iommediatly take it out and i get 10 seconds of it...lol. i know some peeps are killin it with this but man thats a frustrating fact of this shit
skill issue
all good. this is a bloody mess of a patch and things are fucked everywhere
exactly a skill issue lol Auxeus nice burn
Premed bug gives the tank time to position while you backstab 50 times
i agree with you it's shit but it also is a skill issue
you will just have to chill
and wait for tanks to finish pulling
it is what it is
you also do have the option of just not playing with the new talent
and doing the exact same as you were doing before
free will is a wonderful thing
yes i understand that lol. then tank settles you drop it ground mechanic pulls tank out. im not doing much difference in over all so it is just me venting because it feels like what death and decay use to be like or sentinel hunter 🙂 going backwards
yeah im not gonna say its GOOD gameplay
Timings are clear, I kick, blind, kidney, pop CDs and nobody in the group kicks and I die
into thinking it's a DR
Is it normal that basically by just putting on a 266 sword (compared to 289 dagger), outlaw sims like 15k dps better on dungeon slice?
its okay to not like it and it not be a skill issue lmao
actually true
yes.
also #outlaw
idk why blizzard decided to double down on the worst part of both rogue gameplay and other class gameplay
they delete marked for death
only to add it back
they delete the night fae bullshit hunters had to deal wiht
only to add it back
skill issue for blizzard
💯
Looking at what a mess this patch is... Yeah
Beta was borderline smoother
they are too worried about having like 8 different ways to gear and shit thats why
Even their flagship prop hunt is crazy bad and buggy (and design issues)
Hmmm guess need to practice it then ._.
Why does everything need a prop hunt mode now
outlaw requires 1h slow weapon
dunno why, but you can ask there
something to do with normalisation
You also get penalty no rewards if you hide well
And it gives you white item that doesn't auto sell
I just got the hc aelleria sword, which i used to sim it for fun… but i was shocked it seems to be that much stronger on my gear… like i got no versa at all and am full mastery basically… so it even has potential, while i dont have so much left on sub
Eg getting a crafted 285 weapon
Bc the m+ Player Base or RAID Player Base is a small amount Most ppl Just Farm and have a good time thats how Blizzard works 😉
found this in the brewmaster discord channel
thought i'd share it here
it's a command for !stats there haha
jesus a 3yr olds handwriting is more legible
makes it more funny
Brewmaster wrote it, they were drunk
if it was a pally, it'd be crayon scribles
And if it was a vengeance, they'd be dead
dude lura is such a banger boss
would be perfect if there were no p1 adds to pad on
I like the new hero talent but jesus you cant see anything when it pops
You can turn down settings and you wont see it, only a white circle
you have to rely on other things to know if you are in mechs or not
like your character getting bigger, arrows, shit like that
which buff is it that i need to track to know when im going to get refunded CP?
for instance, the tank smash on the dino will increase your characters size and cause your screen to zoom out a bit
shadow techniques or ancient arts
aa
shadow techniques
O_O
by spell alert
If you like big pull, tfd is fine
hmm okay ty
I feel like Box+Heart is the best alternative if you dont mythic raid, it sims almost the same for me on ST and pulls ahead in 2min aoe fights
Swap from where?
veiled touch
Good morning!
GM
Deepening stopped working 20 pulls in so i played assa
6 second dances aint it
I had that aswell on lura the other day, relog fixed it
Did a lil teensy bit of heroic yesterday, we really are egg scrambler spec. We start progging it on myth tonight so will see what the intermission dam is like. I still hate not playing premed but oh well 🙃
This is the best thing I've heard all morning
I wanna eggmaxx

guys i wanna ask soemthing off topic ;d
does anyone already got an mythic item from the ritual event shit
any eggmaxxers
Eggmaxxer reporting for duty, Sir!
is it okay to use the general raid build for all fights or should i be using the specific boss builds in the raid tips section
i simmed dungeon slice top gear and now i got 870 haste. even with guidon equipped .. idk if i should trust 😄
dont
700 haste then crit then mast
spec is kinda cringe now that u cant trust sims but it is what it is
yea thats what i thought, ty!
Not sure if they've been updated since our patch
think it was tested on ptr and only dropped heroic
looks like they have cause they dont take premed and do take rotten
we are so back
Oh, if they're updated with cloud cover then Fuu is on it
some take cloud some dont
twice dragon and paladin boss can use m+ build and high mastery gear
idk if thats cause high movement fights or something
i play without audio
but i wonder
is anyone in chat who is good with addon dev?
or well, somewhat knowlagable of the game textures
That's a smoke bomb on lower particle density settings
yeah i figured those two, other fights have slight variations tho. might just run standard raid build for the rest
it looks to me like the "smoke" is a texture
i wonder if i can replace the texture with something else, so you can see ground effects still during encounters
Glitter
Is it stil 800 haste w/o trinket in m+?
bro that bug was game-breaking
it was our #1 priority to get that one fixed
every other bug is just a skill issue
Guys if I have guidon what is my correctly rotation with BL?
backstabbing before first dance during bl makes me wanna commit neck rope
exactly how im feeling
ss>vanish>ss
for before first dance
"As Trickster :Trickster: on all target counts: Try to ensure that you always have :ancientarts: active for your supercharged non-Secret Technique Finisher during :ShadowDance:. (This can mean using :ShadowStrike:/:ShurikenStorm: at full CP to activate it)" why we don't apply this to secret tech too ?
I'm so glad they found the stealth sound file again
as if sound files weren't causing enough problems already
what are we runnin in mythic+ now? same as before but add cloud cover? or go rotten
rotten is for ST only, check pinned messages for new patch info
tyty
tbh would just experiment with different patterns and try to find a good trade-off between visibility and obfuscation
I like the idea of it being a smoke bomb, it being subterfuge, etc. But yah
Could've done somethign cooler
the chanegs are basically:
- premeditation -> utility node
- skill into cloud cover
- tfd if you have dungeons/groups you can restealth/proc it efficiently
i think too functional about it, i want somehting i know where to stand in, but nothing that actively makes it harder for me to play an encounter
I think that should be the baseline view of the design, imo
It should be visible, but unintrusive.
anyone got an addon that can add a count down till TFD is active?
had a tank complaining to me about it today 🙂
Ky'veza, my beloved. But I guess this is a visual they'd want to work for both outlaw and sub.
tell them it's a DR ability
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
Fuu coming in clutch as always
"It's 30% DR for 10s, man. trust me. I wouldn't lie. I'm just a rogue"
thank you
this is why we need to be the tank
for sure. starting a boss encounter shouldnt automatically put you into combat
anyone got addon to show text when im outside stealth and/or no shadowstep charges left? Would be great if it also works with blink (mage)
lol, the fucking affix this week is SO BAD for it
i do mostly 12s
but when we did some 10s with guildies for weekly
its always so annoying
Every affix under 12 keeps you infight, break your stealth rip off your cooldowns
guys why i see ppls prefer more mastery in keys but my sims don’t like mastery and everything crit ?
I have 900crit and 550 mastery, if I swap like 100-150 in mastery I lost 3,3%
Mastery gains more value as pulls get bigger 'cos AoE. Sims aren't 1:1 reality.
If you wanna run more mastery, do it
ye, mastery is king in keys
!open
The following openers ended up only marginal worse, but use cooldowns faster:
strike-vanish+blades-strike-cooldowns
strike/guidon-dance-blades-strike-secret
i m not entirely sure how smart that command is
but i got asked about the opener a lot
should probably add guidon to the strike in the first version too
tbh
it took me some tries to get used to the new opener
but when i tested, i did rly like the 2nd of the ones i posted above
How I should sim correctly? Some ppls saying dungeon slice, some 10target 1,5min
dungeon slice
BUT
don't be fully raid buffed
make sure to only use buffs which you have reliably in your dungeon group
e.g. you will always have bloodlust

but you probably won't have skyflurry every dungeon
I tend to sim with a tabula rasa. Just bloodlust, nothing else, since it's all so varliable.
Well I will try, but if I remember dungeon slice don’t like my swap into mastery
550 mastery very low for key?
same for the sheet
You can know better than the robot.
but man -.-
More mastery is betterer in big AoE pulls. Dungeon Slice is a specific slice of a synthetic dungeon run, so it isn't gonig to be the same as a +16 key
outlaw is driving me crazzy
I want to find balance between crit mastery in keys
12th by now or so
You'll probably need to eyeball it and it's also going to be a much of a muchness
your dps won't shift significantly by a few % of crit and mast
As I understand it: More crit = better ST. More mastery = better AoE in big pulls in keys.
But also what Prophet said
i mean, it was 0.4 even
The robot won't help you when your situation is variable and dynamic
was in 13 Adademy yesterday and the tank was like "WTF IS THAT SMOKE????"
IT'S DR BRO, IT'S HUGE DR. STACK IN IT
do other players actually get the DR too?
i think i saw something about that
or someone said they wish it worked like that
not sure
makes sense
one weird trick to get your tank to stack in the cloud
Ye I’m just trying problem between my sin and sub, on paper I have close dps on every sim (not ST), but in key meter my sub overall suck a bit. Maybe I’m bad on sub, maybe stats, because I full crit on my sin and playing with same gear
Hardest task of em all
be me
run pit
loot hero dagger...
reroll
......
...
..
bracers
fml
rip
game literally laughing in my face
next one'll be pants
stooppppp
yeah you're gonna lose aoe if you're full blasting crit over mast
ill crash out
pants are good!
ive already got them in myth from vault :(
Like 950-1000 crit and 550 mastery
In the big bug Post on reddit, it says:Rogue primary and secondary stat priorities shifted so severely that mains are being forced to re-gear entirely to match what was framed as a tuning pass, not a re-weight. "
Is this true for sub as well and if how so?
that's not true for sub
That’s specifically sub
damn, we're being forced to regear entirely from haste -> crit+mastery to haste -> crit+mastery
Going crit haste over haste mastery is what most would consider a significant gain
I dont know where this reddit post got its ideas from LOL
I hate stats
Nobody understand stats in this game
LOL
!fuu
People are so weird about stats
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i'm going to post it again because i think its comedic timing
so 2-3 recrafts a bug. 
I would consider that true if we suddenly had to drop haste entirely, that'd be it.
"Get some more crit" ain't it
kinda depends though, if you're fucking up haste breakpoint on sub that's very major
or if your crit is super low on sin that's major
Thanks Obama
but other than extreme cases yeah doesn't matter
Go 500 haste without a guidon amd repost this plz after ur raid
If you have 500 haste then you aren't getting the haste breakpoint and that's just.. why?
use Crippling Poison hehe
he's being sarcastic haha
People are generally frustrated with this patch (and rightfully so). Frustrated people tend to start digging deeper and deeper to build up more frustration towards whatever caused the initial issues.
does anyone know how much of a dps loss taking premed is?
i think the stats don't matter argument only truly matters when people are obsessing over shifting small %s
All I know is, I tried outlaw in 12-14s yesterday and it felt like I've never played the spec before. Gonna be a bit of a learning curve
(which is how people obsess about stats mostly tbh)
Sub on my myth Chim pug was pumping boss dmg tho, so that's nice
Chat what's a good dungeon to bonus roll if we don't need trinkets
if you fail to follow basic stat priorities and put yourself under 600 haste which is literally the only 100% definite stat requirement people ever talk about for sub then you fit right in with the people asking about stats
Pit, probably? Really good pants, dagger, a good ring. Nexus is another good option for chest, cloak, rings
nonono i want to take screenshots out of context and keep reposting them
stats are a small celing raiser. Therefore we take every advantage we can get
Does anybody know if crafting was fixed
depends on the scale
Nexus dagger isn't as nice as Pit dagger, but Nexus rings are very nice, plus catalyst chest and the cloak is identical to the catalyst cloak with slightly worse mastery
no idea, but i've been enjoying finding new bugs throughout this time
found a new one today
bugged weekly in harandar
you will gain more dps from understanding what you are doing wrong with your gameplay than swapping 100 mastery to 100 crit
the "re-gearing" is literally 3 diffrent gear pieces or so
haha
maybe 4
and switching flask to crit
🤣
this
🙏 preach
Gear is an illusion, pushing buttons is real
now excuse me I'm going to whine about not having Gaze yet
conversely when someone is like "hey i'm playing sub with 300 haste and my ST is terrible what gives"
that's when stats really really matter
Yeah, that's a fundamental issue with the spec understanding though
stats matter up to a certain point and then they don't
yeah if you understood the spec in the first place you wouldn't let your stats get to that point haha
Because if you had the understanding you'd build to the haste cap. (I am not defending the haste cap, it is boring and bad, but that's still a fundamental misunderstanding of how the spec plays)
something something exponential graphs
the biggest minmaxing of gear i did was when pushing keys
I only recraft a ring 
and eeking out vers whenever possible
without dropping too much dps
Also I done raid last night that shit is awful. 2-3 back stabs. Waiting to do blades for smoke. Then waiting stec to also pop
there's two sorts of stat requirements in wow
Acquire X stat to Y amount and then get a mixture of the other 2 stats that aren't vers
Prioritise stats with going for X but getting Y and Z is not going to be that bad for you as long as it's not vers
have i manifested 3 trinkets for people in here including myself
It's also important to understand that, like, the level of where you are playing dictates this stuff too, right? Statting at very high push levels is gonna be different from the general gamer doing weeklies or 14 - 16's, etc.
Prophet is the trinket merchant
U don't understand what i ment i think. U link a funny picture bout stats being unimportant. But they ain't.
holy shit so true
U should start charging for your services @tribal blade
All my Sims on all 3 specs atm prio Pit ring over Nexus ones
congratulations
lol nah someone's not gonna get it
you also don't understand the picture
unsure if I should be trusting sims when it comes to gems/enchants because my haste is hella low and feels ass to play. any ideas on what I should do?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fiwcaQPoiB4qQex1qdmi4U
and then i'll be in trouble
Hell yeah! Congrats
Thanks homies
it's gonna be me
once you hit the haste breakpoint, its kinda w/e if you invest in mastery or crit
as is
mastery = better in aoe
crit = better in st
JUST BELIEVE
but you always want a mix of both
yeah
but it's kinda hard to acutally fuck up your stats
without doing other things wrong
Ye
yes
And I think once you understand the mastery = aoe, crit = ST, you don't need the robot. You can just eyeball it.
which you can do sure
but then youve also done other things wrong
which is acquiring vers
taking anything but speed is a fuckup
hows this mix for m+ (i have a mastery flask on rn)
the fun thing is forgetting to swap gear sets for a key
and then doing almost identical dps
more speed needed
is your haste either 700 (guidon) or 800 (pbox) if so then yeah youre good
all fun and games till u go st with 600 haste
Imo, gearing stopped being a huge deal /interesting after legion (exception with corruption) .
While a lot of pain points, with Titanforging and a lot of powerful items like legendaries and trinkets like CoF, Legion was fun for gearing.
that was for previous seasons haha
i went 700 haste with pbox because i forgot to swap stats back on birb
i've never done that in midnight
i've been using guidon in my keys now
since im over trying to push in pug
been pretty relaxing
Ye, I personally find gearing pretty boring these days and often a source of frustration. It's a means to an end rather than anything very interesting.
i switched to this so far
holy shit i don't miss titanforging, what a nightmare
Talentgearswap addon

Often it's "Ah yes I did not get the trinket / cantrip drop for six weeks this is fun gaming i want the cool item" even though it's extremely w/e and I can do the content I do regardless
i just have it assigned in default UI
you can do that
get 5 more, imo
and that is raid gear with crit flask (712 haste)
I need some
please do not bring back these memories for me
I mean auto swapping sets when you talent swap? (Not just spec)
i think im good right
i had them repressed
If you have a crafted haste mastery dagger u can recraft for -40 haste
Hot take, but Titanforging can be good if you could manually reach those max levels like the current upgrade system (turbo boost style)
i used to have that set up yeah
not anymore
possibly yeah
but the way it worked before
true
very toxic
Morning. Since sims are a bit misleading, is it better to run main stat pot or secondary stat? in either m+ or raid
I was cooking haste yday i managed to get it down to 717 from 780
Why would the sims be misleading exactly

But either way, the mainstat pot lol
eleem was saying he highly suggests just running main stat
because of DR
Tells me to lower my haste even though im at 700 xD
secondary pot will heavily DR
holy good or holy bad LOL
sims have been misleading in general this tier because of the haste stuff
Holy critical monster
oh. yeah myth wedding band will do that
are bonus rolls/recrafts fixed already?
bonus rolls supposedly fixed as per wowhead post
recrafts 
alr ty
like im sure they've fixed something
but im sure there's 5 other bugs hidden somewhere because they've just copied and pasted the bonus roll code from mop
i might switch my back from haste/mastery to crit/mastery

Yea i recrafted dagger and changed gems

I recrafted nothing went wrong

Guys when bl during we use same rule with guidon guide?
Did anyone figure out What is delaying the second dance in blades?
Surely more people started to experience this
wym delay
Imagine u go cds
after first sd in fight, what timings should i be looking for with vanish? should i be saving for 3rd blades in between dances still or just sending when i need cps
First dance ends
i recrafted 2 belts and 2 daggers yday, nothing wrong
I mash dance button and it doesnt give me dance for like 2-3 globals
Its very random
Macros seem to ignore this bug

Ive tried disabling addons
i h ave not experienced
Changing spells on bars
Shadow Blades / Cloud Cover bug:
Talenting into cloud cover gives Shadow Blades a 30 energy cost; this is not intentional and seems to come from the implementation of the talent. It seems to just cast Distract, which costs 30 energy. Make sure to have enough energy before using Shadow Blades.
but all my sdances are macros
Doing both, like changing trinket to SB timing. Or trying to find a cloud/cloud buff tracker.
yes all of those things are good
and honestly also min maxxing your stats is also good
its just that min maxxing stats will net you .5% at most probably
unless your stats are omega fucked
Im gonna scroll up like 13 hours and imma tag you fimbul
Damn, the big scroll
the art bar

Welcome to bug world
few more years and thats gonna turn into google adspace
I wonder how many bugs are caused from their server side script fix things breaking constantly
And if you pick some item in delve, your left or right pan will fail (ad or qe).
yeah, the miror delve
This is a crazy bug
Another bug that existed since launch but got fixed then broke again
Although it seems worse since the patch
also happens in a panda dungeon im told
lmao
I thought I'm going crazy when I got my strafe keys disabled
I guess it's anything with a vehicle, maybe? Or a specific kind

Everyone would get a raise. Way more dev time. Hire full QA groups. rogue tank spec. whatever class annoys me the most would get subtle nerfs.
is the first haste breakpoint 18% or a specific number? I thought it was 684 but idk if thats accurate anymore
Since yesterday's patch do we get less combo points in the opener ?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
15 academy - you know i stg if blizz just fixed bugs + made premed work with apex talent i wouldnt ask for anymore tuning
Well, someone is deff annoyed by rogues in general it seems as things are now.
If you aren't running premed, yes.
our tuning is bug fixes 
@short radish i found it happens randomly
i can't argue with this. it's true
okay so the most important thing is, they fixed the stealth sound
YEAH
premed not working + cloud cover costing 30 energy is whatever
that doesn't affect us rotationally at all

important is that we have stealth sound back
youre right
It's very important
back to dk and devourer buffs
How do I know I'm in stealth??
for a second there i was worried
10/10 patch
i recrafted day 1 of patch and had 0 issues
they could just chage premed to give you sht stacks
anyone been doing 18s/19s on sub and has some logs to share? 
Maybe it's good that we didn't get a posion toggle with this patch.
huh, why
it would randomly turn off or just not apply poisons correctly lets be honest here
I have pit 18 log(before Buffs)
buggy
assuming they know that rogue is a class in retail, maybe they think its just in classic
we already have instances of poisons dropping off
You toggle the poisons on and it toggles on infinitely
with instance changes/loading screens
Haha yeah
I still personally feel this isn't as bad as 11.0.5 or 11.1.5 but maybe I've just been very lucky.
the worst bug is I can't put the ghostblades on my hips though.
Watching raid encounters 12.0.5 noone plays premed on myth. Just stab first 8-11s then blow up all
what bug did you run into with poisons?
@vale pine Hey, do you know if raidbots sims premed bug?
how much % gain is dropping premed
it does not
roughly 1%
ty!
Fuu maybe you could have a idea Whats causing this
I pinged fimbul with a video If you scroll up a bit
oh, no. I was joking. As in, if they added a posion toggle it would've been very buggy because of this patch.
Spaghetti code
haha ye
!open
The following openers ended up only marginal worse, but use cooldowns faster:
strike-vanish+blades-strike/guidon-cooldowns
strike/guidon-dance-blades-strike-secret
Poison toggle in 2026? Are you out or your mind? Such technology has not yet been discovered
How bad is to use premed now?
what can I say, I'm a visionary
You know what i think is weird
After running no premed all day its not even that bad
Our raidbuff lasts 10 seconds of us hitting the boss
While every other raidbuff lasts until its dead
Just wasnt used to it
And then ours only works if the dmg actually is credited to the boss
don't find the message using the search
@vale pine
The wording on the ritual sites reward text is, uh. Weird.
it looks like it waity for the cooldown to finish
you start spamming the macro here
and it activtes here
so right as you get the charge back
This happens even with a dance ready though
i just cant replicate it
I will hit dummies for 10 hours today.
Dance macros seem to have no delay though
For some reason when i press dance stech macro i get it instantly
Maybe your macro is somehow faulty? (Could be just another bug
)
hell yeah pants are good
i have them already from vault lol
im boutta send pit rolls too
rip
lots of crit haste
sucks that we're one of the only classes that cant game chimaerus' loot table to have a 1/3 for trink instead of 1/4

too lazy to recraft again for +40 haste but i think i'm happy with where i'm at for ST 280
My goat r u playing ?
yeah one of our dhs quit 1wk before raid
so i am filling that spot on the roster this time
going to gear rogue on the side though and maybe prog on rogue next patch
600 haste seems a bit low

Its pirate szn
sub feels nice though

ok i like outlaw too
Im gearing freelildurk for law but bro is kinda 230 ilvl ☠️
is +40 haste even that much more cushion atp (genuine question)
going from 638 haste with oils to 678
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Idk if I’m an idiot or what but I’m not doing anything different rotation wise and I am doing about 15k less ST than I did pre-patch
hit 700 with your oils, peaceful gameplay, sim trolls you a little cause it confuses 40 haste that you need as human delay, youll end up missing a gcd and sim cant account for that cause its milisecond accuracy gameplay on sims
sim without oils was what brought me to my current stats
i swapped out gems for more haste
yea but right now my sim wants me to drop 50 haste and tells me its giga damage, but ill miss a gcd to in theory its correct, but practically you wont be as tight with timings as the sim itself
you want 700 at least to fit 2 secret techniques in blades
you ignore the sims for haste between 650 to 700
i can with guidon though
it is more a human error + latency thing
with at least 1s to spare
should i recraft Waist with haste crit instead of crit mast tho ?
like i play from India, 120-140 ping, i need 10 more haste over 700 to accurately hit the gcds
I love when an Aug is in the group lol
and its still really tight
uh oh!!

If were to use Ember and Box, which one makes more sense to pop first?
You throw away the ember, take the rep trinket and pop box
Dont know everytime i play with a aug keys are deplete or are closer to deplete as with a third dps
Is it true, that m+ ist kinda 700 haste, rest => just mastery. And rate kind goes for 50/50 haste crit?
Would simply drink haste flask
Worst choice ever tbh, will be way over capped
flask is 165
u dont need more then 700 if u have guidon
But its still good to have
Above 700 youre just throwing away stats tbh
Wrong
Explain why its good to have wasted haste instead of crit/mastery
Explain why its wasted
Isn't the next breakpoint at 1100 haste.
Because youre not getting another cast in dance
Because you don't gain substanial benefit until each breakpoint. So 700~ -> 1100
So having 900 Haste is giving you very little in comparison to if you had 700 haste and 200 more crit/mast.
Sim your stats you'll see its still good benefit, in your situation don't change your items every time smth changes
It is NOT giving you very little but it's important to have min 700, thats the difference with a cap
The sim either wants too much or not enough haste
Sim os practically useless other than for trinkets
Get to breakpoint and put everything else into crit/mastery
There is no cap
Its a breakpoint
If youre at 700 or 800 is practically the same
You just waste 100 secondaries in the latter one
Just responding to the guy who have 600
the only benefit of more haste is to reduce st cd but you'll never fit 3 in a single blades window anyways
might as well be
No, I won't
Ye but is it true that crit doesnt really matter for m+?
No.
Blindly following the sim without understanding what it's doing and why it's going +/- on the Haste isn't a good idea.
Mastery is just better at higher target counts
You still want crit
Lets go back to vers crit stacking and do what simbot says please
Vers just oivertook mastery for me
You do gain damage for it above 700 but it is considerably worse than getting more masteyr/crit at that point because the actual benefit from haste above 700 isn't as good as those two stats. It would only matter if you could get up to the next breakpoint and gain more GCD's in dance
Whihc is the entire reason we take haste to where we do
Im only an m+ player, I have around 600haste 1100 mastery and 550 crit, should I play puzzle box or light compan, and should I take more haste ?
No point searching to have exactly 700 and no point more, if you have too less haste don't need to reforge all your items
Juste change flask temporarily
!up
Get more haste, if possible. Get to 684 without oils (700~ comfy zone)
i heard you need 800 haste to use puzzle instead of guidon, correct me if im wrong
And then just slam crit or mast. It's fine. Crit is more ST, mast is more AoE. Pick what you want.
yes
That is correct
700- guidon
800 - no guidon
1100 - deathstalker
I thought the breakpoint is with oils
So I should go into haste a bit more to use puzzle box
Yeah, it is. 684 + oils = 700
!consumables
Doesnt tha put you at 716
668+ oils
Or are you usng the tbc stone
okay I can't do math
it is with oils/flasks
im at 672 and get 704 with oils
26 is more than 16, who knew.
perfect
And why do we go for 800 specifically, I can't get 2 Sectech empowered in sb
So im at 420crit 900 mastery. Means i should focus on balancing this a lil more
670 with oils here
If i just dont mess up any gcds in dance its fine right
to have the 2nd secret in blades
Are people playing ds anywhere?
any1 can answer me why we dont use Preme anymore?
keep in mind secret has delayed clone attacks
Pins
Maybe at vorasius und salahadaar, beloren?

Because shadowstrike does big damage with cloud cover and the 150% crit damage gain from Surprising Strikes. And this means the clones from the apex, et al, do a ton of damage. Premed blocks it, so premed less damage.
massive
technically, more strike casts = better too with cloud cover
Yeah
But if I sd right after the first one ends, I have like a small delay where I can dance 3rd time in sb
jesus ty paid game
It feels weird to play which is why I don't like it but it's def stronger without premed.
As long as i dont have to send shadowstrikes when im at full cp im fine with it
@vale pine Is there any tidy info on the dps gain of not running either premed or warning signs?
(Besides apex optimisation)
you still do on supercharged cps during dance
Yeah i was talking about striking even beyond that
for M+ cleave do I still stack crit, or do I go for mastery there?
i thought i saw eleem say it wasn't a bug
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
cant they make premed give sht stacks?
so we can escape this cursed prison of bs to 7
They can do a lot of things. But will they
ofc they wont just asking if it would benefit us more
u dont wanna see the list of changes i have
I am still trying to understand if it's that important to cut premed. I won't do it for 500 dps.
1% for using premed, warning sign is similar to pe
!fuu

because i trade off 0.2-0.3% dps
to not have the cursed opener
What about Shiv?
i'd trade my soul for rogue changes
dont
SS>Vanish+SS>Shiv+Guidon>CDs+Sectec
If I can make a suggestion there, fuu - could you make it clear they're two different openers? It looks like a continual thing to me, haha
Works pretty well
Adds a cheap energy gcd to Guidon and better than backstab
With toxic stiletto*
@vale pine can you tell me why the difference here is so small? i expected from all the talk to be much bigger https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5L54H17uMT5VSgpVaMhRjd
current wishlist would be:
- fix the shadow blades costs
- make premed add sht stacks instead
- smoke bomb less visually obfuscating
jfc how are mages so fucking bad at using their toolkits
I think you won't have armor pierce for your first ST if you don't backstabd @steep raven ?
You do shadowstrike from stealth twice?
You have the buff
my bad
this would make me very happy.
thats not a change, thats a bugfix no?
TL;DR- Rogue’s raid buff atrophic poison is not good enough to warrant being in for bosses (see rogues being sat on almost every single fight the last RWF) as it doesn’t reduce the damage of stuff like environmental effects on bosses, on top of most people not really caring about damage reduction. The obvious answer- Rogue needs to bring a ...
new forum post drop
hit a like on this if you guys can
would mean a lot
done and fucking done
@short radish
oh no, not +3% haste! Nooo. Delicious crit only
Also I bet you 5 gold if they did implement a haste raid buff for rogue, it wouldn't contribute to our haste breakpoints
just thinking that they didnt remove the code for the distract cost (30 energy) from the talent makes my blood pressure skyrocket
lol that sounds cursed so ofc it would 😉
i'm actually so happy max brought up the rogue raid buff situation
that means a lot
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
the fact i can put a link to him talking about it
Yeah, it'd be nice if something happens.
is huge
Just give us 3% crit aura
you have very low haste, might be related to that
i have 726 haste with flask, isnt that enough?
oh, what did he say?
ill read in 5 minutes or so else
he basically said when is blizz gonna give rogue the hunter treatment
like hunter's mark
We will get a crit multiplier on critical damage
no i'm tired of this fucking 2nd class citizen shit
Atrophic poison: All enemies within 100 yards take 3.6% more damage from all sources.
because atrophic is kinda dogshit not working on certain bosses
like stix
and he kinda tied it in to DK
but i don't care about DK haha
they're meta enough
Since Shadow Blades costs 30 energy (due to the bug) and Secret Technique is another 30, should I pool at least 60 energy before popping Blades?
fair
its good that he changed his mind
Hello i have a question : i have the 700 haste cap + guidon 701 mast and 740 crit (no conso) is it not enough mastery ? i know i can sim but not really confortable with sims and just want an approxiamtive opinion if possible
i'm really happy atm
i need that stats pic again
Mastery is just what you can't get, it's not about having enough @graceful portal
yes
More mastery is gooder. Get haste breakpoint, which you have. Then more crit = more ST, more mastery = more AoE. So get more of those as needed, but you'll naturally get it as you gear. Just blast.
Okok thanks guys. I'm doing m+ and raid so having a mix of both is good as much as possible
Thank you guys for answering 🙂
A lot of the gear we wanna aim for is naturally going to increase both, since we want crit/mast on everything once haste is hit.
do we prio shadowstrikes more in aoe situations with cloud cover or is it still same
And for flask ? it's the same logic ? just go whatever you need ? if we want to blast packs we go mast and crit for single ?
Sure
breakpoints kinda make this not correct
but ye
if you meet these, its less impactfull
do you know the amount of haste the premeditaion thing becomes bad?
cuz i have 726 and thought it was enough
We not all jumping ship to sin yet then
i mean
i played sub last night
and i found it comfortable
the 30 energy blades is kinda oof, so hope thats fixed soon
the opener, i found something that works for me, as mentioned earlier
Fun is one thing, the optimal choice for mythic prog is another
Equivalent trade
We have to use more energy to cast
Devourer gets more energy per cast
Isn't sin looking stronger in 95% and above logs?
sin got buffed before the patch
people forgot that
sub did not get buffed to the point in whipes the floor with it
means both sin and subtlety are good options
Ye. I mean, you'll always do better on what you are comfortable playing, too.
Outside of extremely high level play, playing your comfortable spec will win out
also, the blades bug is a small loss
It only really matters in top 100 guilds
Even there im not sure if it really does
it really depends on the times top 100 or top 50 not always have players willing to do some things
so although you will see many 0 rogue kills of some bosses others will just play what they have
is the number of targets we shadowstrike at still the same w/ the new cloud cover talent spec
It was like, 0.2% for me iirc
How do you sim the bugged premed?
you don't but dropping premed did sim higher even without the bug implemented
also, can i finally get a dungeon slice profile for outlaw finished
For my low gear premed just sims higher but I assumed it was due to the bug not being present
-.- this shit just keeps getting dps improvements
Haha
wdym
Same end result, having crit on gear or on flask.
maybe it becomes better as more gear arrives if i changed crafts to crit and crit flast

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).
how much crit do we want
no specific number
does this hold also with the new build/the rotten ? don't we want ss to actually give cp for the apex to proc on it?

"Reroll" Assa is basically the same stats
Reroll as in, decide for a spec and dont respec anymore😄
But it could be outlaw too, which would a bit more of a reroll
both sin and sub perform well
if you want to, can even play outlaw
so pick your poison
Do both perform well in higher m+ keys? It seems Sub > Sin in Raids? But that has been before the patch, right?
Its also so confusing to me, why outlaw (with waaay lower ilvl weap) sims 15k higher in dungeon slice
Yesterday premed simmed +800 for me with guidon + crucible. Then I’ve changed crucible to myth gaze and nopremed became +190
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
you see a mix of logs running premed or no premed
Is Vanish part of the rotation now?
that are highly ranked
interessting, i have no gaze, so maybe thats why
i truly believe it comes down to preference
subtlety should perform better, we still suck on low target pulls tho
(better than before patch)
outlaw got a huge buff
10-13%
so its rly strong right now
what are you dropping for premed?
Used previous variant with premed and no utility node to the right
Chat is this a good Dungeon Slice sim?

assuming breakpoint is without oils and buffs
can you drop a link to it if you have, i dont have the old talents anymore
Hello what is the stats balance we want now for mplus
Crit haste mastery
1000 crit 1000 mastery.
Order might be jingled
Guess that gaze makes the difference for premed build
Haste above maste?
Okay but if you have the break point crit is above master now
My hero Gudion is simming higher than my myth puzzyb in dungeonslice???
Just because of New trickster ?
Is that just dungeon slice being wierd
