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
    If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).

who is the best rogue player that streams i need some visuals

#

cant understand much reading guides

vale pine
#

we swap off premeditation due to cloud cover

#

thats why

lilac stag
#

It’s fine playing without it. Overreacting is a thing due to 6 seconds of the opener.

#

!opener

wicked joltBOT
#

The following opener is recommended without Premeditation:
Shadowstrike-> Vanish +Shadowstrike -> Backstab until 7 cp + Guidon -> Cooldowns

scratch what I said, idk who streams in here. I think Charrend streams because I remember watching a couple times, but Char doesn't just play sub, still cracked though. But idk if Ryldd (big fish headcannon) streams.

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target / Mythic+: Haste(~18%, roughly 650-700) > Critical Strike = Mastery > Versatility`

#

im not sure any of the sub gamers are both playing sub and streaming it atm

#

there's the russian guy for keys for sure

#

charrend has some vods for sub in raid actually

half loom
#

Is it 18% haste we want? or 700 value. thought it was 18% but keep seeing 700 here

swift tinsel
#

700 value

swift tinsel
#

any haste granted by flat % does not contribute to Deepening

#

just haste rating (the actual stat number)

keen dome
#

Which is why the raw value is so important to any kind of discussion around it.

swift tinsel
#

^

keen dome
#

'Cos you could be a Night Elf and have 1% bonus that doesn't count

swift tinsel
#

or Power Infusion/Lust granting haste % doesn't count as well

How do you recraft for only 20 crests?

timid rose
#

going from a 285 crafted to 6/6 myth piece in the same slot only costs 20 myth crests

#

or to take a 1/6 myth, because you get discount up to 5/6

Is raidbots reflecting the proper breakpoint for haste now?

!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 WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

prime mortar
#

Coming back on this, that mean a full gcd?
I can't macro Guideon with SB and press my SD macro right away?
I'm in my early 30s, it'll prolly take one second anyway OMEGAKEKW

vale pine
#

es

#

yes

#

i mean a full sec earlier

#

let me explain why

#

deepening shadows updates in a set interval

prime mortar
#

Cause it is bugged on deepening shadow no?

vale pine
#

depending on this interval you will get or not get the extended duration

prime mortar
#

yeah read the bug list... What a shame

vale pine
#

so if you use the trinket and dance very shortly after

#

you hope that the update happened before you casted dance

#

but you gamble

#

this interval can take up to one sec

#

so ideally you just use guidon 1 sec before

#

your luck is

#

guidon is off gcd

#

so you can use it with the spell just before

prime mortar
vale pine
#

haha ^^

final agate
#

Hopefully they fix this

prime mortar
peak ice
#

Isn’t it just the delay from you pressing the button to the server updating your stats

final agate
#

Because if that's "working as intended" your design is crap.

prime mortar
#

Btw, if you type Light's potential in a macro, how does it work? use the highest rank first?

#

i'll use my 4 lines macro, it does the trick.

night sparrow
#

Pretty sure it's a bag thingy, depending on where u position your consumables it will use one or another. If anyone can confirm

shrewd lantern
#

I got the outlaw mace from xenas bonus

vale pine
#

it is how its implemented

sharp bolt
vale pine
#

they would need to change the implementation

peak ice
#

Just put guidon on a seperate macro with pre?

vale pine
#

yes

peak ice
#

Ez

vale pine
#

you put it on a seperate bind

#

and just use it one sec before you go into your big cooldowns

sharp bolt
#

ive had luck using them as fast as possible as long as the trinket is in the first key press. then again, I have very low latency, so I'm sure thats a factor

prime mortar
peak ice
#

It breaking shroud is kinda unfortunate

#

/use item:245898
/use item:245897
/use item:241308
/use item:241309

prime mortar
vale pine
#

its a consequence of a design decision

#

which can be as impactful as a bug

#

let me explain what i mean with a diffrent example

#

deepening also extends your shadow dance time

#

it does so in small increments

#

so you can get 8.1 or 8.2 sec of shadow dance for example

#

but this 0.1 or 0.2 sec is super short

#

and it is short enough to not be able to fit another spell into it

#

so, in order to fix this problem

#

we start to use a macro, thats why we use dance + secret as a macro basically

#

this makes sure we have the best chance to hit the last spell

#

if its a low-ish .x number

#

BUT why is it designed this way?

#

instead of giving 0.1 and 0.2

#

why not just give full 1 sec increments

#

so you would just round it up every time

final agate
#

My thoughts exactly.

vale pine
#

instead of 8.2 sec you would have 9 sec

#

and this would change the dynamic

#

instead of hoping to fit the last spell

final agate
#

But that approach would make sense. It always boggles my mind when a dev/design team does that.

vale pine
#

you actually have a buffer that allows you to have a bit of wiggle room

final agate
#

.5-1 easy.

vale pine
#

its just one example

#

and many design decisions fallow this pattern

#

like, we do like cloud cover, right?

#

think its generally accepted as a good addition

#

because it increases our burst damage, so more damage and burst is nice

#

but if we just look back a few months

peak ice
#

sorry for another question, but Are you still running premed after the changes or did you swap to bond?

vale pine
#

we had a spell that did the same thing

vale pine
#

!premed

wicked joltBOT
#
  • The first Ancient Arts cannot proc while Premeditation is up, which is why it is a DPS loss to talent into it as the Shadowstrike clones with rotten up can crit insanely hard.
  • There is also a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts 3. (This does not matter much numerically, but feels weird)
vale pine
#

the reason we don't use it are these bugs

vale pine
#

but okay, it was a additional button

prime mortar
vale pine
#

just like distract was 🤔

prime mortar
#

Like, here it's just press get free damage

vale pine
#

so, we can maybe agree here

#

you could just merge the effect to blades?

#

what would change then?

void ocean
#

many classes have small cd and a big cd, assa e.g, fdk, unh dk

#

flag could've been small cd

vale pine
#

well you would not have the two things this change introduced

#
  • A ground aoe and particle effect that obfuscates your sight
void ocean
#

flag could've been 45 sec cd

limber folio
#

feels like im kind of falling off somewhere, 17 mt

vale pine
#
  • A positional requirement to stand in the zone shortly before it expires
#

so what blizz did was

#

they took out flagellation

void ocean
#

kudos to that brother fdk

vale pine
#

and then gave us back a shittier version

limber folio
#

btw fuu

void ocean
#

dunno from where he pulled that dps

limber folio
#

the cloud

#

you reset it as long as youre standing in it?

vale pine
#

yes

limber folio
#

i thought i read you had to run out and in

#

alr

vale pine
#

no

limber folio
#

i mean then im just gonna sit in it anyways

vale pine
#

you can stand in it

peak ice

#

I think im qutting outlaw... i just can't do it. I average 20-40k less than either sub or assa :/

#

thats what i wrote on wowhead for the explenation

i mean so am i

#

#

Smh my head

vale pine
#

i need to remove the last part

#

or re-write

#

just notice

peak ice
#

Is there a rough value for the damage loss caused by premed?

vale pine
#

*noticed

#

now only you see it (fixed)

#

XD

sharp bolt
#

So the cloud cover effects last for 10 seconds after exiting the cloud. Does this reset if we reenter the cloud before it expires?

peak ice
void ocean
#

dunno bout u guys but so many things feel crangled about sub

#

so far i played assa, sub, fdk and unh and only sub rotation feels weird and sweaty

peak ice
#

I think it feels pretty good most of the time

#

Does feel like I’m working harder for my damage than like the dh though idk

void ocean
#

just the fact u gotta use trinket ~1 sec prior to ur burst is a bad start

void ocean
#

then using ss on full cp to trigger apex

#

then trying to fit that 2nd sec tech then managing haste and cut offs

vale pine
#

subtlety has some nouances

peak ice
#

I find it more engaging that assa tbh

#

Going back to it feels like I’m just watching dots

vale pine
#

but most of them come from design issues or bugs

#

haha

void ocean
#

id take old nimble over this cloud any day of the week and twice on Sunday

final agate
#

The core kit for Sub makes sense. How the implemented the interactions/bugs make it so we gotta work harder.

peak ice
#

I kinda miss combat rogue from frozen but like rose tinted glasses etc

fading whale
void ocean
#

dunno bout fixed dh

#

they r still bugged afaik

compact pollen
#

I very much enjoy sub in midnight, by its core. I do not like the cloud because it does make certain things hard to see in m+ like fire tornados in spire

void ocean
#

positively

peak ice
#

Didn’t it get fixed last patch?

void ocean
#

i didnt see it in blue post but then again i might havent even check for it

final agate
#

Dh got fixed, pretty sure.

peak ice
#

I thought that was why they got the like 8% buff because they fixed that interaction

void ocean
#

i mean they r new spec thats understandable

#

every time new class/spec was added it was op

final agate
#

Yup

void ocean
#

and warlocks are warlocks

final agate
#

Gotta pad the numbers.

pure cloud
#

My udk is doing more damage now which is nice and was needed

fading whale
#

sub rogue feels miserable in 18 and higher

peak ice
#

Wouldn’t say no to a buff to atrophic poison though

void ocean
#

yea, i tried fdk for a few days while udk was bugged and just couldnt pull the numbers

#

boss dmg great but large pulls just not the same feel

final agate

and im fdk player more than im unh

mine was low cause this tank kept doing insane pulls off route and then we timed pit in 17 minutes lol

okay so im actually a fucking idiot

kept sweerving me hard

oak sorrel
#

this whole time ive been shadowstriking on full cp to get ancient arts up the entire time during every dance

#

WW is padding a lot tho

finite lynx
#

i should never be using shadow dance without sec tech, right?

sullen hare
sullen hare
#

But for now only super charged ones please

oak sorrel
#

i noticed that when i looked at the sim API for one of my topgear runs it double-eviscing sometimes

#

so i was confused because i thought you were supposed to always evis with aa during dance/opener

empty bobcat
oak sorrel
#

i stopped doing that and my opener dmg went up a lot lmao

finite lynx
#

can i use dance without sectec tho?

oak sorrel
#

you shouldn't ever need to

empty bobcat
#

depends I do in M+

finite lynx
#

im thinking m+ scenarios on a large aoe pull

#

is it worth to send shadow dance without sectec?

oak sorrel
#

if you can't get 2nd sectec in blades it's fine to dance without it

tidal solstice
#

every so often i do if the pack is gonna be dead in 5-6 seconds, ive got a dance up but sectech still has 9 seconds and then there is some RP or somethin, ill blast the dance to fnish the pack faster

oak sorrel
#

ye

finite lynx
#

i see

sullen hare
tidal solstice
#

otherwise i hold dance for sec tec

oak sorrel
#

just like

make sure there's always gonna be a dance available for the next pack so ur not sitting with sectec up for 5+ seconds not being used

#

and pls dont sectec without dance lmao

finite lynx
#

the situation im thinking of specifically is on big pulls in m+ after you've sent shadow blades, puzzle box, and 2 sec tecs

#

like for the sake of dmg would you delay a sec tec a few seconds until the next shadow dance is up so that you can keep blasting

peak ice
#

Aa puzzle

void ocean
#

is it even possible to send 2 sec techs with puzzle box

tidal solstice
#

THE puzzle box?

void ocean
#

id say only with lust?

peak ice
#

Probably depends on your gate no?

#

Haste

void ocean
#

well how big can the gate be without any haste trinket

peak ice
#

Isn’t that why it’s 800 haste without trink

void ocean
#

i dont think 800 haste is enough for 2nd sec tech

#

i have 735 haste and when i use hc feather which is 600+ haste i get 2nd sec tech at the end of 2nd dance

#

with lust i have it supercharged

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.

some people are doing iirc skyreach/pit

is the ring set even worth it

tribal blade

it's free damage

#

and the stats are good for sub

#

if you adjust your gear/crafts to play around the ring set

you get a free ~0.5% dmg

the big crit small haste ring is also good for sin

prob good for outlaw too

i think OL is going to be my "for fun" spec

#

i don't see myself using it during prog unfortunately

somber sun
#

yeah, kind of spec you gotta start from level 1 with

#

ngl

outer orchid
#

easier to manage sin and sub while learning/worrying about killing the boss rather than having fun

#

it was my main spec for a long time until my long break

#

this xpac i've been almost fully sub

#

awkward to go back but it already sims almost 10% better but thats with perfect uptime

#

which during prog

#

i will NOT have

#

reclear i'll probably send it

thorn sundial
#

i mean if u use trink 1 sec before and that fixes it, i would just get uses to that. otherwise is it still there if no macro?

hazy breach
#

Ive seen people mention it since the patch and i guess its an attempt at fixing the "cant macro" issue that didnt quite pan out

outer orchid
#

strictly because of that garbage

thorn sundial
#

ye i just use it like 1-2 gcds before

outer orchid
#

feels bad to do in practice but i'd take it over losing blades damage

thorn sundial
#

yep really stupid bug

astral axle
#

yeah it doesnt happen every time

#

so must be something with the update thing

#

weird. ill just be slower

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.

how much Haste should i aim for in M Plus since im with no guidon?

rain swift
jade oasis
hoary orchid
#

alright ty, was thinking if it would be different from ST

jade oasis
#

get that guidon

hoary orchid
#

oh i have it, but kinda sucks in MPlus

#

running radiant plume and gaze

half comet
#

if shadowblades has any more than 10 seconds on its cooldown youd send dance plus sectec and just sit on blades till sectec is up again

#

right

somber sun
bitter halo
#

Apologies for the silly question but I just want to make sure. You only use shadow dance when sectec is ready? If on CD just use out of stealth rotation and only use a second dance in SB?

tribal blade
#

ok practicing no premed+PE in heroic

#

this isn't so bad

#

more annoying than premed+WS

#

but not as bad as 1st day i tried it

shrewd lantern
#

its really not that bad

#

just opener is slower

tribal blade
#

i don't prefer it

#

for sure

#

but i can live playing it if i have to

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i mean

#

i'd rather not miss out on clone strikes

#

especially on rotten ones

somber sun
#

works everytime somehow

naive creek
somber sun
#

yeah

#

better than the backstab spam at least kekw

left ledge
#

yo

#

what is up sub rogues

#

were we aware that cloud cover refreshes itself when the smoke runs out

final agate
#

Yup.

left ledge
#

that should absolutely stay

shrewd lantern
#

or something im missing

#

it was 10s in the cloud+10 after no?

final agate
#

Mhmm.

#

Each time you leave and reenter it will also refresh, so if you gotta move for mechs and shit.

graceful rock
#

Yeah is that not design?

shrewd lantern
#

im pretty sure thats the intended design

final agate
#

Yup, makes sense..

#

Pretty sure they have no plans to remove it.

tribal blade
#

i still think the cloud should be on your character

final agate
#

Rogues do be grungy.

somber sun
random mason
#

I really missed out on griefing keys with it

#

Kinda sad about that

final agate
#

So what's the issue in groups? I have used it and haven't heard a thing.

random mason
#

Used to be seen by everyone

#

Which could make ground effects very hard to see

shrewd lantern
#

which was a pvp op thing

#

making healers think its los

random mason
#

It could also kill your group in m+ if u popped it right when some AoE spam started

#

Maisara toad rain or whatever its called for example

final agate
#

Interesting

shrewd lantern
#

i have run maisara

#

a grand total of 2x

#

this season

random mason
#

I still need to run it to get a hero track belt

shrewd lantern
#

once for portal

#

other gave me a hero socket helm

random mason
#

So i can save 20 myth crests on the belt i got from first vault

shrewd lantern
#

this is why i hate taking m+ vaults

#

when raid is 1-2 tracks higher

random mason
#

Think ill reclear hc on main tomorrow so i can get a belt finally

shrewd lantern
#

i need over 300 myth crests

#

to upgrade all the gear i own rn

random mason
#

I was hoping the new vendor would give us items by socket, but its literally just random hero item

#

Im not farming 500 token for that

shrewd lantern
#

gonna feel bad for loot council

#

if i pull a socket belt from vault

random mason
#

I dont feel bad for them

#

They should give me more loot

shrewd lantern
#

prob low value since most leather crafted a belt this ssn

#

alot of leather are haste mast rn

random mason
#

Resto druid in my guild got the only leather belt we dropped so far

#

Chimaerus one on hero

shrewd lantern
#

i've seen the chim belt on myth in vault

#

like 3-4x

#

passed them all since better option

random mason
#

I got pit belt with socket

#

So i just crafted wrists instead

shrewd lantern
#

better belt technically

#

since its more even statted

random mason
#

But its still fucking 272

shrewd lantern
#

also socket mean its going to last a long time

random mason
#

Socket means im most likely not taking it off

shrewd lantern
#

i pulled a socket belt from my hero delve map

#

week 1

#

it still hasnt come off

random mason
#

I mean its myth track

#

My belt

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i got a myth belt in my bags but it has no hole

#

so its just worse at 6/6 hero level

#

than a hero socket

left ledge
#

Currently, if you blades, then just walk out of the bomb, you will start the timer, but once the smoke bomb ends, whether or not you have re-entered, it will refresh the buff

#

You pretty much always have 20 sec of the buff uptime

shrewd lantern
#

oh

#

i thought you'd have it regardless if you were in at the end

left ledge
#

Nope, I have a log that can show it wasn't like that

#

the buff shouldn't have been removed until 24.736

#

(if it functioned like it is currently)

shrewd lantern
#

was that tuesday

left ledge
#

yes

shrewd lantern
#

hmm maybe then

left ledge
#

the energy hotfix brought this in

#

not sure how

shrewd lantern
#

probably some coding thing

#

lowkey i feel pvp complaints accelerated the visual being disabled

left ledge
#

distract was in there like a mfer huh

shrewd lantern
#

for other people

#

because making a healer spend 1-2 gcds running into it often mattered

tribal blade
#

can anyone TLDR how to set up northern sky lura memory game

#

we're in heroic

#

and our RL isn't here

#

and they still ahven't set it up

sturdy mortar
tribal blade
#

oh is this actually gonna be complicated to set up

#

F

sturdy mortar
#

Go to the github link, grab the zip file in the "code" drop down bar (green button) and then put it in your interface/Icons folder. (I am pretty sure there is a vid link on the NS add on too, but not entirely sure)

#

relaunch game and use the "create macros" button under the encounter alert

#

just checked there is a youtube vid link under encounter alerts to explain what to do, but I wrote it out, it is a bit complicated since the macros have to be pressed in the order they get assigned, it might not be the play to try and set it up during raid @tribal blade

analog hearth
#

Any workarounds for the shadow dance bug where it just does not activate even when spammed?

tribal blade
#

i'm still confused how my guild hasn't set this up yet

sturdy mortar
warm marlin
#

everyone needs icons

#

only 5 need macros

#

usually mt and 4 healers

white nova
#

Any tips on chimaerus? Do we have a good time to use our stuff that does not overlap with some sort of add phase? I am dumb

somber sun
#

just get assigned to the second group

white nova
#

lol

somber sun
#

you dump all your stuff on the boss while the other group deals with adds

#

and by then you should have shadowdance and sectec up to finish them

#

after that shadow blades should be up for another rotation on chim

I got h plume for outlaw setup tonight

Still chasing neck

tribal blade

NICE

imagine this crown parse if i remembered to talent back into rotten and WM

I swear outlaw bugs out at times. Not sure on what. At one point was hitting cleave dummies for 56k dps with jackpot rolling.

!Premeditation

wicked joltBOT

  • The first Ancient Arts cannot proc while Premeditation is up, which is why it is a DPS loss to talent into it as the Shadowstrike clones with rotten up can crit insanely hard.
  • There is also a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts 3. (This does not matter much numerically, but feels weird)

Vanguard makes rogue feel so bad, great job to blizz

lilac stag
#

It makes melee feel bad.

short radish
#

rogue not me but yeah

lilac stag
#

I’m one of 3 melee in for our prog.

short radish

good fight

good balance

tribal blade

how do you specifically check egg dmg on beloren

Have you thought about getting (a) better (class to play)?

jade oasis
#

i really did

#

but atrophic matters bro

#

its huge!!!!

lilac stag
#

the one fight it matters on now is so shit for melee. kekdog

#

I’m very disappointed my outlaw bros are letting assa dominate vanguard.

quaint lodge
#

i was raid leading man

short radish
#

i didn't name names

topaz crown
#

yo how bad is it to have 2 on use trinkets? i have both feather and puzzle box

#

and no gaze or light company trinket

short radish
#

bad

#

use pbox and crucible (renown) trinket

topaz crown
#

is it bad because its too much hassle?

#

with cd line ups

short radish
#

kinda yeah

topaz crown
#

i've been following my sims

short radish
#

like you still do damage out of cooldowns

#

in dance

#

and having 2 half trinkets vs 1trinket + half trinket

#

is kinda bad

topaz crown
#

this what i get

short radish
#

yeah because heart of the wind is also bad

vagrant fulcrum
#

A second on use can’t ever use it’s on use with dm

short radish
#

sim this

vagrant fulcrum
#

A passive trinket can still proc

topaz crown
#

damn did i really just waste my crests on this feather then

#

😭

vagrant fulcrum
#

So you’re comparing 3/4 trinket benefit

short radish
#

yes and no

vagrant fulcrum
short radish
#

mostly no

vagrant fulcrum
#

You can just upgrade your next passive trink for free

shrewd lantern
#

double on use has rarely been good

topaz crown
#

damn :D

short radish
#

yeah

topaz crown
#

i didnt do the tree though

#

fuck me

short radish
#

tree?

topaz crown
#

voidlust buffs

short radish
#

go do them

#

you can max out that trinket in 2 weeks anyway

shrewd lantern
#

101 not a terrible patchwerk sim

topaz crown
#

what u all get usually?

alpine wraith
#

think im at 109k

tribal blade
#

i got rng'd on heroic lura kill

#

25% crit on strikes

#

should be at 40%

#

i knew i should have just played WS on her

wicked bear

wicked joltBOT
onyx trail

is premed still busted?

shrewd lantern
#

been busted the entire expac

alpine wraith
#

since they introduced shadowcraft

#

so uhb

topaz crown
#

are we using light potential prepot? i read somewhre about the potion of recklessness idk if its still bugged

final agate
#

Potential is currently the pot, but sim as usual.

alpine wraith
#

you can try and use the pot that gives extra main stat depending on the fight

final agate
#

Abandon? Yeah, that is also a suggestion as long as the fight is not too mech intensive as you'll be moving to avoid the pools

plain karma
#

hey maybe a silly question but can sub rogue use any weapon in the oiffhand? like if i craft a second weapon that outlaw can use

lucid jackal
#

Has to be a dagger

plain karma
#

is it an attack speed thing?

lucid jackal
#

Yes

plain karma
#

ok thankyou

onyx trail
#

So if not taking premed only matters with the rotten. Should I take it in M+ as I dont run rotten in AOE?

shrewd lantern
#

it barely matters in aoe

#

storm gives full

lucid jackal
#

Premed legit only matters in the opener

alpine wraith
#

you also need to pool a bit more sht than usual on normal dances

#

o try to not proc apex on sec tech

#

so you have the sht for the second supercharged finisher

#

but that one is whatever

gritty crow
#

how do i trigger this? is it random with spells

idle bone
#

it got reworked its shadow blades now

gritty crow
#

so as of now, which class is the strongest? outlaw?

shrewd lantern
#

devourer

gritty crow
#

no shit sherlock.

shrewd lantern
#

you said class

#

:)

gritty crow
#

Yeah, i have to specify you are right, the 2 digits iq aint helping you xd

shrewd lantern
#

I mean that's rich for someone relying on murlok.

#

But yk

lucid jackal
#

All 3 specs are kinda good rn

#

Id say sub and outlaw are the best

shrewd lantern
#

the shills will say assa is better

#

well at certain things it is

gritty crow
tribal blade
#

are you really giving him shit when you asked a question about cloud cover and this is literally in the tooltip

gritty crow
shrewd lantern
#

reading is hard

gritty crow
uncut monolith
#

Maxed Crucible vs champ beloren trink guys? Trying sim but trust you more...

tribal blade
#

i'm realizing now the thing you linked said this as well

uncut monolith
shrewd lantern
#

i mean ngl if you have to ask what spec to play

#

you likely dont do above vault keys

#

so likely sub for instant burst aoe

#

not like you have to hard commit to any spec in 26

final agate
#

Side note, I get playing the flavor of the month, sure... Why not just play what you find fun? Let's be real, unless you're pushing high keys or mythic raiding... It's viable.

shrewd lantern
#

even mythic raiding you can at ce level

#

if you're doing high enough prog where spec matters you likely bench rogue entirely

dusky yacht
tribal blade
dusky yacht
#

I did a funny

final agate

Yoru... You get a 🍪

personally i find murlok super stupid for pve content

#

since its mostly solved

pvpers do some jank shit so its a bit more.....

gritty crow
shrewd lantern
#

"hardcore player"

#

cope

gritty crow
#

its just good to always know where i should put my efforts on, specially if my specialization is bad, then i would rather reset and learn something new.

shrewd lantern
#

Calling failing to do basic research hardcore

#

lmfao

gritty crow
#

Bruh you are still butthurt from the first msg? come on now..

#

XD

#

thats not what i call a hardcore, i sent this pic, to point out, that i do something about vault key
But not a hardcore push

shrewd lantern
#

Imagine trying to flex 16s on a piss season

#

on a fotm spec

#

holy

gritty crow
#

LOL he is boiling XD

keen dome
#

🤔

tribal blade
#

this 0-100 over nothing is crazy to me

shrewd lantern
#

There's something crazy called playing what you find fun

tribal blade
#

calling him double digit IQ

gritty crow
#

are you his atorney?

tribal blade
#

i don't like bullies

gritty crow
#

Do you find yourself in need to lend him a hand?

#

i aint bullying no one,i literally tried to speak calmly to him XD

#

but i guess its hard to read XD

tribal blade
#

CALM

shrewd lantern
#

if performance is all that matters then yeah play what is overtuned

tribal blade
gritty crow
#

Thanks for reapeating my messages ❤️

#

i love it

keen dome
final agate
#

Sub rogue specifically

gritty crow
final agate
#

Then go DH.

#

It'll probably be overtuned all season

vestal relic
#

you want performance go dh

#

you want the best rogue

final agate
#

As it's the "face" of the xpac

vestal relic
#

go outlaw

gritty crow
#

Yeah, exactly my thought

keen dome
gritty crow
#

how DH is over powered now, makes me believe it will be tuned somehow

shrewd lantern
#

lmao

#

funny meme

#

FUNNY

final agate
shrewd lantern
#

or just play mage

#

that class is always s tier

keen dome
#

I should get an Outlaw weapon soon.

gritty crow
#

Yo make it a soundboard HAHA

keen dome
#

I wanna play gun gamble mage

tribal blade
#

for the first time in a long time mage is actually not great in keys

tribal blade
shrewd lantern
#

how long will that last

tribal blade
shrewd lantern
#

i already have to listen to mage players bitch in raid

#

that they dont have 20 defensives

#

to cycle

gritty crow
#

Mages are solid in raids tho

vestal relic
keen dome
vestal relic
final agate
#

Or get their boy out of that wheelchair

shrewd lantern
#

well they actually have to plan their defensives somewhat

#

they got kicked off the dk perch of taking a bong rip

#

and immuning every mechanic

keen dome
gritty crow
final agate
gritty crow
#

na you are trolling at this poin

shrewd lantern
#

the only slack i give dks is they have to grip things almost every boss

shrewd lantern
#

i mean true

#

tweet grip is not a raid buff

#

blizz makes you have to grip over dps

#

on every boss

#

xddd

vestal relic
# gritty crow Bruh, waaat????

just look at who dies in raid and come back, mage fall over in the majority of the pull (probably because they dont know how to plan defensive but still according to data they suck the floot hard)

final agate
#

They do.

#

They really do.

shrewd lantern
#

if enhance was fotm

gritty crow
#

Mate, dying is a thing. We are talking about dps

shrewd lantern
#

they'd be too

gritty crow
#

Their DPS is solid.

shrewd lantern
#

but enhance is kinda ehh rn

final agate
#

Can't dps when you're floor tanking bud.

keen dome
#

If you die then you don't do dps so they are inherently linked.

vestal relic
#

dps is pointless when you die 50 % of the pull

gritty crow
vestal relic
#

damn

#

now whos 2 digit iq

shrewd lantern
#

the point was mage went from liek having

#

7 defensives

#

to a normal human amount

keen dome
gritty crow
final agate
#

Just means they gotta pay more attention instead of ignoring shit. Welcome to the club.

vestal relic
#

well its true

#

solid means reliable

alpine wraith
#

it is funny because mages have things

gritty crow
#

when in raids, for the most part, a frost mage has a bigger overall DPS than any rogue spec

alpine wraith
#

but have to press them

vestal relic
#

dying 50% of the pull

#

if not reliable

#

wdym

gritty crow
tribal blade
#

it's probably mostly the whole having to plan defensives thing

#

before they had a button for every single dmg event

shrewd lantern
#

exactly

final agate
#

Now they gotta think

shrewd lantern
#

ngl could you imagine

#

enh in s1 tww

#

if aug wasnt meta

#

mfs would be eating floorpov

#

so often

tribal blade
#

lol true

final agate
#

Facts

tribal blade
#

it's the entire reason why you couldn't run x2 enhance

#

even though they were hard gapping everyone by a huge amount

gritty crow
keen dome
shrewd lantern
tribal blade
shrewd lantern
#

real

tribal blade
#

was so hard to push as non destro/sv

#

most groups would just run double destro 1 sv or the other way around anyways

shrewd lantern
#

but yeah like enhance as crazy as the damage got

#

you could not stand in shit or else

#

rip your ankh

gritty crow
# vestal relic

and for what i know, all rogues specs have the same def mechs, the variation really depends on Who really is counted in this,
If alot of NOOBS playing a spec, this % is not to be considered.

alpine wraith
#

wait no

#

sub has like 2 more drs than assa

#

and 1 more than outlaw

#

there is a reason assa is floor pov

tribal blade
#

sub is way tankier than sin

final agate
#

Yup.

gritty crow
#

in this expansion?

tribal blade
#

yes

alpine wraith
#

yea

keen dome
#

Yes

shrewd lantern
#

always

tribal blade
#

fade to nothing 10% DR has like 30% uptime

#

if not more

gritty crow
#

na in war within, versa was also focused on

alpine wraith
#

fazed dr too

gritty crow
#

now its neglected so i dont understand ?

tribal blade
#

yeah fazed too

keen dome
#

You should read your talents.

alpine wraith
#

that gets amplified on blades

short radish
#

imagine reading talents

#

absolute sweatlord

keen dome
#

Because while we did lose Versa stacking, we've retained a lot of our actual DR and defensive layering.

tribal blade
#

and then exhilirating execution

final agate
#

Couldn't be me.

shrewd lantern
#

theres a reason sin's leeching poison is stronger

alpine wraith
#

tbh if you read shadowcraft you will understand same

keen dome
#

Sub is weak to rot damage, but our DR is wildly strong.

alpine wraith
#

as the blizz intern that posted the description

gritty crow
#

Hmph, i stand corrected, that does make sense.

tribal blade
#

if we were still able to stack vers

#

we would be one of the tankiest melee in the game

gritty crow
#

Wait

shrewd lantern
#

vers isnt even bad

#

lol....

tribal blade
#

i should sim vers

gritty crow
tribal blade
#

huh

shrewd lantern
#

we're still one of the tankier melee

#

if the damage isnt rot

keen dome
#

Yeah

final agate
#

Yup.

keen dome
#

Rot is about the only major concern and then it's extremely dangerous

shrewd lantern
#

which is funny because dh

#

was polar opposite

keen dome
#

also I've gone insane. Oils, Flask, HP pot, damage pot, food.. What am I missing.. I thought there was another item.

shrewd lantern
#

very good with rot but

shrewd lantern
#

lmao blur vs giant hit

short radish

Diddy oil.

you are missing that.

use the old perma

half a chest enchant

#

they kinda decent tbh

keen dome
#

They are but eh.

#

Oh, it was auto-hammers.

short radish
#

????????

shrewd lantern
#

i find it funny how

#

bubbling wax

#

is still holding up

keen dome
#

I was trying to recall the consumable I was missing in my raid consumable slot, and was certain it was an actual raid consumable.. but it was not, it was auto-hammers.

keen dome
shrewd lantern
#

it did more than my instant poison

uncut juniper
#

Feint is the most op defensive in the game

keen dome
#

Feint is cool and good
