Lol pp mast uwu

tribal blade
#

yeah i have more mast for sure

#

now that i think about all that i think losing DM is just not worth

#

it's so much prio

hexed wave
#

whats the ideal specs of choices all you rogues look for, just had a mage brick my 16 key, i also attempted it at 3 am LOL

tribal blade
#

warr, shammy, monk, druid

hexed wave
#

love it

jade oasis
#

ever since the incident

hexed wave
#

haha

tribal blade
#

fuck mages

#

no reason to have them anymore

jade oasis
#

i beat an arcane mage on prio dmg on shard of halkias as outlaw last season and actually haven’t invited a single one since

hexed wave
#

it’s funny I’ve been finally doing 13s, trying to get 3.4, did a 15 academy last week and was proud! turned into a 16 pit lol

#

i’m so happy I can finally do 13s, so we’ll see, I was top dmg so ez too! Sub is insane

#

then the key got bricked so ima do better and those comp selections lol

keen dome
#

They're that good

jade oasis
#

he was

#

prioritizing the casters

#

is the actual answer

tribal blade
#

LOL

#

that's insane

keen dome
#

damn

tribal blade
#

wait why would he even do that

jade oasis
#

mage brain

tribal blade
#

that's crazy

jade oasis
hexed wave
#

appreciate it guys ❤️

grizzled hornet
#

it is not unfort, u might think you are blasting it then see the log and you parsed high and then boom same dmg as a green log of a meta class xdd

tribal blade
#

i was just surprised it's not doing terrible dmg on paladins anymore

#

if i can pull 182k on heroic paladins sub is more than capable of being run on mythic now

#

that's 20k more dps than sin was doing weeks ago as the paladins prog spec

grizzled hornet
#

its depression

tribal blade
#

but sub is just not gonna be good on that fight in it's current design state

#

unfortunate

grizzled hornet
#

we just pray to god on low target cleave, i hope to see changes on next season

vernal junco
#

when you have 2 dances, is it mandatory to get a second st in during sb?

grizzled hornet
#

during blades, having 2 dances, you should aim to use 2nd dance on the last 8 sec of SB to get sectec benefited from both

#

!opener

wicked joltBOT
#

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

grizzled hornet
#

uhm what was the command...

#

!blades

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.

grizzled hornet

garf_sit ok

buff sub pls

#

look at these blasters i got to like 130k

weary tree
short radish
#

@tepid trellis how do you get those reminders (sdance and feint)

is it nsrt?

weary tree
#

yes

#

Or well NSRT has one of them

karmic harbor
#

i havent figured out how to get it to work with nsrt

#

brain damaged

short radish
#

same kek

#

i'll get it sorted sometime for next next raid

tribal blade
#

iasm net braain dmaaged y

native zodiac
#

could also be timeline reminders

#

thats what i use atleast and it looks the exact same

white siren
#

So frustrating blizzard still doing nothing on Vanguard fight ... people are still playing 2-3 melee and only take war and DK. Even monk that have better aoe than us are left out.

idle echo
#

are we spending ilvl boost on mh weapon? and there no way i can play outlaw later in season?

native zodiac
#

mh will be the most dps yeah

#

if you want to play both you could always go trinket/(dagger and put it in offhand for outlaw) first but thats generally less dps for each spec as if you were to upgrade the mainhand

tribal blade
#

on top of the fights being mostly very oppressive for melee

#

that combo makes melee just useless on a lot of fights

peak ice
#

bruh tell me about it

#

can just skip all voracious shit if u got any rrange

#

aleria is so fuckn ground heavyu its crazy

tribal blade
#

they could have nerfed alleria early on so the puddle mechanic wasn't so dogshit for melee

#

but that's not the only reason melee isn't great on that fight

#

i dunno blizz needs to relearn how to make fights that encourage a balance of melee and ranged

peak ice
#

runnig through a heroic on mage was so brain off, barely have to dodge anything

tribal blade
#

typically what it's like for ranged in keys too

#

i wish i could find this clip from SL

#

naohw (tank main) was doing a mechagon junkyard on his MM hunter

#

and the entire time was going "LOOK AT ALL THOSE MECHANICS I DON'T HAVE TO DODGE"

#

playing ranged was blowing his mind

#

at how easy it is compared to melee

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

lol a classic

#

my favorite is ranged trying to gaslight melee saying they also have a hard time in keys

#

by going "we have this 1 hard fight in 1 dungeon"

alpine wraith
#

but you know

peak ice
#

which fight

alpine wraith
#

i have to move when theya re casting?

#

manwhile you in vietnam with 4 frontals 2 floor aoes and mobs getting knocked away and moved from melee

tribal blade
#

2nd boss in fall was one for them

peak ice
#

bruh i almost went off on a hunter when he was like "What if melee run out and get the orbs"

peak ice
#

on baloran

tribal blade
#

well i have bad news

peak ice
#

bro just fuckn, step to the side

tribal blade
#

that's my job on beloren

#

i do a bunch of immune soaking

peak ice
#

yea ill do t hat like, around the bird area

#

he meant the ones like, not near the birds, just vaguely in the distance

short radish
tribal blade
#

"we have 1 hard fight"

#

"therefore ranged is harder"

short radish
#

MEANWHILE

#

GALLYWIX EXISTS

tribal blade
#

meanwhile THIS TIER EXISTS

short radish
#

meanwhile every tier exists

tribal blade
#

i just don't argue with guildies anymore about it

#

because there's no arguing with mages

peak ice
#

maybe im just salty to see the hunter get killed by lura glaves

tribal blade
#

and locks

peak ice
#

for like the billionth time

tribal blade
#

hunters are a special breed

#

emphasis on the word special

peak ice
#

got horse blinders on

short radish
#

stupid mages

tribal blade
#

also mages being able to get around 75% of mechanics with blink

peak ice
#

yeaaaah

short radish
#

sorry I died, didn't have blink up

  • mage who didn't have w bound
peak ice
#

was just running a 14 on my frost mage

idle echo
tribal blade
#

planted and spammed the button

#

"if i die, i die"

peak ice
#

thats defo devourer atm

#

what do ou mean move during collapsing star

#

dead

tribal blade
#

what's gonna happen is we're gonna have a tier that's horrible for ranged

#

and we will not hear the end of it

peak ice
#

were gonna have like

tribal blade
#

and it'll become "ranged have it worse, remember that 1 raid that 1 time"

peak ice
#

a lot more questions about whats better out of sub or outlaw

tribal blade
#

actually i'm not being fair, there have been tiers that weren't great for ranged

#

but i'm madge right now

peak ice
#

Id like, not mind if the risk was worth the damage

#

but they still do more damage

tribal blade
#

yeah and blizz also made the move to make ranged less casty for the most part

#

like a lot of ranged specs can continue to do their rotation on the move mostly

#

i still think maybe it would help make things more equal if ranged actually had to hard cast most of their spells

#

but that's not gonna happen

peak ice
#

frost mage is like 90% procs

tribal blade
#

i'm not up to date with how most ranged specs work

#

but i've been told they have far less hard casting nowadays

#

could be fake news i have no idea

peak ice
#

you basically fish for a proc of whatever and then hit 2 other buttons

tribal blade
#

yeah i remember frost having a lot of instant casts when i was messing around with it on remix

peak ice
#

frost kinda plays like old fire mage

hazy breach
tribal blade
peak ice
#

and by old i mean dragonflight fire

hazy breach
#

Ele has very little options to do damage while moving

tribal blade
#

THAT i have heard

#

yes

peak ice
#

dont they insta cast a lot?

#

or do they have to be still to do that

tribal blade
#

in ascendance yes iirc

#

outside not?

#

our ele was asking for that evoker spell thingy on dimmy

#

uh

#

spatial?

hazy breach
#

Some afaik, but they cant really delay them

peak ice
#

feel like shaman and hunter are the clases i know leat about

tribal blade
#

i think all casters should have a hard time being perma on the move and doing their rotation

peak ice
#

other than that if theres 2 hunters, ones always goinna be dead

tribal blade
#

that was kinda the meme about hunters before because they had no defensives

#

now i think they're less like that

peak ice
#

should let them know

tribal blade
#

DF S3 i played with a lot of BMs, they were everywhere

#

and it was very hit or miss if they would live stuff

#

some hunters ended up compiling as much avoidance gear as possible because it was a very 1 shotty season

#

and they couldn't live w/o the avoidance

#

i think now they have more defensives

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

AND rogue has a cheat

hazy breach
#

But also those stats show outlaws dying less than sub, which is uh, not kinda sus

#

Less fotm players = less deaths generally

tribal blade
#

mmm true

#

what did blizz remove from outlaw

#

so they removed vanish from restless right

hazy breach
#

Everything tanky

tribal blade
#

did they remove any more of outlaw's tankiness

#

ahh ok

#

yeah good

#

it was way too crazy with outlaw before

#

i think if outlaw had it's previous tankiness this season

#

it would be a meta dps possibly

#

would just never die

fallow glade
#

damn, would be horrible if rogue had any defensiveness garf_sit

tribal blade
#

rogue is situationally incredibly tanky

#

or paper

sharp seal
#

Also vers is not the best stat for pirates anymore like many seasons before

tribal blade
#

true yeah

#

i see them stacking a lot of crit and haste

#

real question is how did outlaw get gutted defensively and DK didn't

hazy breach
#

Well you see DK did lose a bunch of stuff too

#

Just that they had so much that it didnt matter that they lost like 10% stamina and a 15% dr garf_sit

alpine wraith
#

yea that perma dr on the rider of apo

#

was unreal when i saw it existed

#

you also had extra ams

tribal blade
#

went from being the tankiest dps by far

#

to being nerfed to be the tankiest dps by far

Weaving in a storm for Danse 🇼

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

I do it in keys

tribal blade
#

yeah i might start doing it in keys too

lilac stag
#

but yeah idk

tribal blade
#

i was watching the russian sub earlier

#

he seems to do it on pure ST too

#

i'm just curious if i can replicate heroic paladins numbers on mythic

lilac stag
#

I don’t know when the last time anyone looked at lashe

tribal blade
#

i'm guessing prob not

lilac stag
#

kinda like goremaw, just there

tribal blade
#

yeah would be cool if we played around it a bit more

lilac stag
#

if would be hilarious if that generated our cleave.

#

in some fucked up way

sinful zephyr
#

The next tier set should be a little bit more gameplay altering...looking forward to what they come up with

tribal blade
#

i dunno there's a million different ways blizz could go about improving sub's cleave

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

they just need to actually do it

tribal blade
#

like on 2-3 targets it makes more sense to me weaving in storms

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

ohhh interesting how come

hazy breach
#

I think it's fine for the spec to be bad at stuff if it's good at other stuff instead. So I would rather they buff our massive aoe

tribal blade
#

that's a fair point

hazy breach
#

Since assa and outlaw has a bunch of cleave (even though those are kinda weak rn)

alpine wraith
#

they ad some idea on buffing bp but then decided

short radish
#

yeah buff outlaw/assi cleave

alpine wraith
#

hmm no

short radish
#

and make us unga bunga aoe

#

uncap blackpowder

tribal blade
#

how about if sub became the mass aoe monster of the class and they added banshee's blight for funnel while they were at it

#

goddamn

lilac stag
#

they could leave the specs as is and just give as an actual buff and we’re in every fight

tribal blade
#

need real raid buff

lilac stag
#

Not saying the individual specs don’t need help & more iterating on, but rogue needs something worth bringing

tribal blade
#

oh shit the PTR forum is up

#

ok i'm making a post

keen dome
void ocean
#

What are we campaigning for

short radish
#

thistle tea to not auto use garf

#

the true important stuff

keen dome
#

Raid buff. Poison toggle. Cute hats.

hazy breach
#

Or if they still want it to be ST then super mega buff the empowered poison

#

Warlocks getting to have -100% casting speed for 12 seconds in aoe and our shiv is -30% on one target for 5 seconds

#

(i know theirs is 2 min cd and ours is 30s, but still)

World of Warcraft Forums

Hi! I’m Prophet and I’m a 4 time 0.1% M+ title holder (retired now though) and CE raider. I’m also a die hard rogue and very active in the sub rogue channel of the rogue discord. I’m not going to create a long wishlist here because I believe 80% of the issues rogues are facing currently can be solved with 1 simple thing- a real raid buf...

#

ok guys

#

please please please

#

hit this with a like

void ocean
#

Did we give up on EoN replacing goremaw

tribal blade
#

but i'm trying to focus on the big picture with this one

#

i really think just a dmg raid buff would improve rogue QoL a shitton

keen dome
#

Very good post.

hazy breach
#

I wouldnt say no to a dps raid buffs, but im mostly hoping for some utility that feels good in m+.
Like last boss of skyreach i feel insanely useful as a rogue, for once

keen dome
#

Yeah

dire forum
keen dome
#

I think a raid buff is a good starting point, since it's a game-wide improvement

hazy breach
#

And i really liked aoe shiv on araz in manaforge as assa

#

The -96% slow on all adds were neat

keen dome
#

Curse their "Must have a level 10 character to post" requirement

void ocean
#

When i play a key as assa, slowing down a mob is annoying sometimes cause they tend to take ages when u expect them behind a pillar or smth

chilly dagger
tribal blade
#

i actually feel so useful

#

which is cool

hazy breach
#

You can remove it and the apply it whenever you want it

void ocean
#

I usually go cripple and MN in keys

hazy breach
#

Well yeah

#

But you dont need to have crippling up all the time

#

If its slowing mobs you dont want it to slow

#

Just remove it

fading whale
#

No raidbuff beats nimble evis

void ocean
#

From myself?

hazy breach
#

Yes

void ocean
#

That cancels it instantly for affected targets?

hazy breach
#

No

void ocean
#

Oh

hazy breach
#

I meant before a pull where you dont want to slow

void ocean
#

Yea got it

hazy breach
#

or rather, dont apply crippling until a pull where you know you want it

void ocean
#

Was unsure if im unaware of some effect

#

Hmm when i think about it, not many uses of cripple nowadays, tanks rarely kite

#

Back when we had necrotic

lilac stag
fading whale
#

or just make us pump

lilac stag
#

that doesn’t work out

#

not when dk with zero utility can pump, grip and res

fading whale
#

thats the problem

#

make them choose between utility and damage when making a comp

lilac stag
#

as soon as rogue starts showing up at the top of the charts, it gets tuned

void ocean
#

What do u mean dk with 0 utility 🥺

lilac stag
void ocean
#

That was sarcasm i guess 😂

#

Oh

void ocean
lilac stag
#

Apparently 2x DKs in a key isn’t enough

lilac stag
void ocean
#

Imagine poping cos for 3 out of 5 ppl in key every 45 sec

fading whale
lilac stag
#

We technically pump now. How those LFG times working out.

tribal blade
#

grips are so incredibly strong in keys

void ocean
#

Amz, blinding sleet

somber sun
#

Well

fading whale
#

bruh dk can soak every mechanic

void ocean
#

3xams

somber sun
#

No dk I got in with uses them

fading whale
#

second boss skyreach

#

with no jugling u dead with rog

#

make us glasscanon if its gonna be like that

lilac stag
#

you clearly don’t see how tuning works if you think they’d let that happen

fading whale
#

nah u dont get what im saying

lilac stag
#

or intentionally do it

#

I do. You’re just not seeing reality in that it won’t happen or work as you’re thinking it will.

fading whale
#

im arguing that its normal tuning not that they would do it

#

that some classes have more uti some just do more dmg

#

i know that they wont do shit im just spitting my thoughts

lilac stag
#

What class has less utility right now than rogue?

fading whale
#

what does that have to do with anything

lilac stag
#

follow along.

#

what class has less utility than rogue?

fading whale
#

idk whats ur point

lilac stag
#

answer and I’ll share

fading whale
#

we are not on the same track

#

ik just by u asking me that

#

lol

lilac stag
#

if you don’t know that’s fine.

fading whale
#

what are you even saying

lilac stag
#

I asked you a question. You’re just not answering it. It’s a thought exercise.

#

it related to what you want to happen

fading whale
#

i dont want anything to happen

lilac stag
#

Sounds good

fading whale
#

u clearly didnt understand what i was saying

#

the ultimate point is that not every class needs to have utlity it can be satisfied with being better at doing dmg as an compesation

tribal blade
fading whale
#

exactly my point

tribal blade
#

ah ok maybe i wasn't following right

lilac stag
#

Then why are you wanting us to be tuned like a glass cannon. OMEGAKEKW

tribal blade
#

i stepped in the sin channel for 5 seconds and i regret everything

fading whale
#

would rather manage cooldowns and slay shit than cc slow and silence

lilac stag
#

because every class in the game has more utility than rogue, and tuning will never be intentionally outside of the +/- 5% swing they seeming aim for.

#

this is why we sit in LFG

fading whale
#

exactlyy

#

exactlyyyyyyyyy

earnest crane
#

isnt self care is one of rogue utilitys?

lilac stag
fading whale
#

the only thing i wish for is nimble evis

#

rest idrc

earnest crane
#

10% with fade to nothing 20% feint 20% evasion even bleed doesnt hit u that much and there is not much bleed effect mechanic in game

hazy breach
#

I mean all of those are a 43% damage reduction

#

Not 60%

earnest crane
#

u have some avoidanc for sure on some gears

hazy breach
#

Which doesnt work

earnest crane
#

and even 43% is not a low number

hazy breach
#

If feint doesnt work, avoidance doesnt work

earnest crane
#

and the uptime is high

hazy breach
#

Generally if feint doesnt work on something, rogue is squishy against it, even with elusiveness

fading whale
#

yeah dots suck

hazy breach
#

Becuase most other classes have 10-15% passive dr or more health

tribal blade
#

rogue is situationally tanky

#

if feint doesn't work rogue becomes pretty damn squishy

earnest crane
#

feint is the most OP defensive in game

#

free to use effect alot

hazy breach
#

Id argue ams is better

#

But yes feint is very good

void ocean
#

Do u guys play cheat or elusi

#

In keys

earnest crane
#

elusive in high keys

tribal blade
#

no arguing feint is very good

sinful zephyr
#

my healer wants elusiveness, so that one

tribal blade
void ocean
#

Aye

tribal blade
#

unless all the dmg in keys are aoe coded

#

but i don't think we have 1 of those this season

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

i don't wanna die

lilac stag
#

weird

fading whale
#

u are already glass just not cannon

lilac stag
#

Sub is not glass. OMEGAKEKW

earnest crane
#

i want old acrobatic Talent back that was kinda Defensive 😄

tribal blade
#

people think sub is glass because we have low hp tbh

#

i suspect

#

but whenever i look at overall dmg taken

#

i'm always lowest in keys

lilac stag
#

yep

#

don’t mind the defensives in the sub tree

earnest crane
#

yea and sub rogue movement while doing dmg is one of the reasons most of the time u can move with 0 negetive effect on dps

fading whale
tribal blade
#

no

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

it's from fade to nothing uptime

#

me using vanish a lot to negate stuff

#

feint

raw frost
#

guys

tribal blade
#

everything piled up

raw frost
#

do you use guidon for m+

#

or just raid ST

earnest crane
raw frost
#

ok

#

understandable xd

tribal blade
#

but vanish/meld has been pretty good this season for negating dmg

#

it's always good

lilac stag
#

run a key as assa and get back to me how tanky sub isn’t

earnest crane
#

meld is OP this season u can run from bats in Pit from The robots in MT form the fixate add in NPX

tribal blade
#

the circle debuff on left side of nexus you can vanish off

#

you can meld/vanish off the chains AND leech on 1st pull of seat

earnest crane
#

yea

#

Meld is BIS this season

tribal blade
#

you can vanish/meld the bleeds from the mobs after 1st boss in MT that absolutely truck

tribal blade
#

but yeah meld is very good too

earnest crane
#

u can sometimes use it to gain master of shadows too

tribal blade
#

AND force TFD 😉

raw frost
#

when do you use guidon and is it on macro or manually xd

tribal blade
#

1 second before dance and cds

raw frost
#

so shadow strike from stealth guidon shadow blades and dance so on

tribal blade
#

yeah

raw frost
#

ok

tribal blade
#

you can look at your guidon cd

#

wait for it to go from 30>29

#

blast

#

everything

solemn patrol
#

gonna test dark brew in a 17 wish me luck bois

tribal blade
earnest crane
tribal blade
earnest crane
#

nah that thing will ruin my rotatin

tribal blade
#

i'm not gonna run it anymore

#

it tilts me

earnest crane
#

i was happy not playing it

tribal blade
#

yeah it's completely fine not playing TFD

upper narwhal
#

surely you want potent powder with dark brew

tribal blade
#

you can't get it

upper narwhal
#

not sure where you would drop a point

tribal blade
#

sadly

upper narwhal
#

yeah

small sleet
#

that talent tree physically hurts me

tribal blade
drifting ether
earnest crane
#

imagine an spec based on Shadow theme cant play a shadow dmg talent 😄

tribal blade
#

but nice

solemn patrol
small sleet
#

i believe the sim is telling you lies

solemn patrol
#

one way to find out

drifting ether
#

Yessir thought, might awell upload some vods of when i play

earnest crane
#

why there is no 4k IO sub rogue 🙁

tribal blade
earnest crane
#

all of them are outlaw

tribal blade
#

the russian sub is 30 points away

#

he'll get there

#

he's very good

fossil forge
#

@warm marlin can you send burn phase dmg on egg

#

also i forgot to ask since u go puzzy do u get to 800haste?

earnest crane
#

if we just got this buffs with no cloud change 🙁

tribal blade
#

i think sub is pretty decent now

#

naohw put it in A tier on his latest tier list

#

tierlists kinda a meme, but it being up there means it can hang

earnest crane
#

the problem is its A one everything

#

not a Singel S point

alpine wraith
#

now burn dps is lower because it lasts 10 secs longer but total damage is still decent

tribal blade
#

being in A tier is great

alpine wraith
#

think i can still do 200-220k

tribal blade
#

no chance of getting nerfed

#

and playable in high keys

leaden prairie
#

i think sub is just as good as outlaw btw

#

dare i say maybe better

earnest crane
#

they are nerfing DK and DH every week but still nothing change 😄

fossil forge
leaden prairie
#

i saw casual do some sub keys and he kinda gaps my outlaw

#

tho sub doesnt have prio so

#

there is that

alpine wraith
#

sub is a bit worse than warr

#

and well no group buff but st is good

fossil forge
#

warr is kinda gaming rn

leaden prairie
#

i mean arms might be one of the best spec in the game rn so idk

#

cant really compare

alpine wraith
#

so if group needs that more it is good

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

isnt dk better than arms?

#

or well arms is + buff i guess

#

same with devo dh

leaden prairie
#

arms bring a raid buff

alpine wraith
#

but they play diff comps

tribal blade
#

yeah arms is slamming

leaden prairie
#

you need to play around arms tho

#

but idk

#

dk is also very op ye

#

to me the best comp should be playing dk arms

#

but no one playing arms still

alpine wraith
#

i dont know enough about comps to talk that much but yea

solemn patrol
alpine wraith
#

what would 3rd dps be on that one

leaden prairie
#

no clue

alpine wraith
#

druid to have shaman heal

tribal blade
#

the funny thing about DK is they got nerfed, but all they need to do is go into phys comp and they're back to doing the dps they were doing prenerf

ye but druid tank op now

#

ye

alpine wraith
#

ah true they changed to the moonbeart

#

that is immortal

#

and almost same overall

#

just less burst

tribal blade
#

yeah thrash bear is insane

alpine wraith
#

so maybe monk

#

dps and shaman heal

#

or the other way around

tribal blade
#

monk and druid tank/heal roles literally swapping around

#

from brew+rdruid

#

to bear+MW

#

kinda funny to see

leaden prairie
#

i feel like shaman healer could be played

alpine wraith
#

so dps shaman it is

tribal blade
#

i hear MW is the best healer right now

opal basalt
#

Enhance + mw

leaden prairie
#

and you just play without monk buff

alpine wraith
#

maybe feral is the play

earnest crane
#

Guardian druid resto shaman war rogue/hunter this is the only way u can say war is better than dk i dk comp for being better is diffrent

opal basalt
#

Just because I like enhancer more than ele

alpine wraith
#

and brew + shaman hea

leaden prairie
#

i guess there is always this posibility but i dont think druid buff matters at all

#

its the worse raid buff

alpine wraith
#

weird it was the better one last time i checked

#

but i guess many specs have shaman up there too

#

now not just rogue

leaden prairie
#

well not for phys comps

#

its the one that gives the least dps

#

for mage comps its arguable

#

since their raid buffs are 3 % or whatever

#

but sham buff is way better anywya

#

for arms /dk

tribal blade
#

yeah i try not to do keys unless there's a shammy in the group

solemn patrol
#

mastery for outlaw hamster_sad

leaden prairie
#

i mean

#

its just totem

tribal blade
#

bring back wod combat mastery

#

that scaled

solemn patrol
#

i just wish outlaw mastery didnt feel so shit

tribal blade
#

the reason it's so shit

#

is because it was cracked before

#

and then blizz GUTTED it

alpine wraith
#

i had a mastery set in mop

solemn patrol
#

at least make it so its not a dead stat

alpine wraith
#

gauche went hard

tribal blade
#

it used to work off % chance to hit

#

so if you had more mastery

#

it hit more and harder

#

was quite strong

alpine wraith
#

it didnt hit harder

#

only more often

opal basalt
#

Don’t you think it’s weird when a mastery doesn’t really fit the spec? Like outlaw mastery feels that way

tribal blade
#

mb

leaden prairie
#

i kinda hate outlaw mastery

#

to me if its a good stat

tribal blade
#

yeah it's dumb now

leaden prairie
#

its like having melees doing damage

#

i dont want it ?

tribal blade
#

needs a complete rework

solemn patrol
#

who remembers SoD when auto attacks did 30% of your damage and dom shards did another 30%

#

good times

leaden prairie
#

i mean most masteries are boring but i could see something that just scaled gun damage

#

would be at least a bit in the theme

tribal blade
#

i'd be down for that

opal basalt
#

Yeah like assa mastery is bleeds, sub mastery is finishers

#

Outlaw rogue mastery going for pistol-based dmg

#

Sounds good

solemn patrol
#

"mastery increases all pirate based damage by x %" PirateHeart

leaden prairie
#

pirate damage HOLY

opal basalt
#

Like pistol shot, bte and ks dmg

tribal blade
#

holy shit mastery affecting RTB roll chance???

#

i dunno if that would be cursed

leaden prairie
#

ye but stats affecting gameplay

#

feels so bad to me

tribal blade
#

true

leaden prairie
#

im still so mad haste does something for outlaw

#

every season we have to sufer

#

starting at low haste

opal basalt
#

Give us mast vers sub back

tribal blade
#

lol sub also suffering a bit with that atm

earnest crane
#

get more mastery for more jackpot

tribal blade
#

doing sims as sub right now

#

is mega pain

#

haste has made everyhing complicated

opal basalt
#

I lowkey just feelycraft sub stats now

leaden prairie
#

cant sim

#

its so cool !

opal basalt
#

Get 700+ haste and even split of crit/mast

tribal blade
#

feelsbad

leaden prairie
#

well ye

#

we have the exact same principle

#

kidna

tribal blade
#

ohhhh ok

#

i thought only sub did

leaden prairie
#

haste is like best stat in the game till x

#

and then it falls off super hard

tribal blade
#

MMM ok

opal basalt
#

But does your sim also want less haste than you do irl

leaden prairie
#

no

#

but haste also helps energy

#

and we have this weird thing this season

#

where outlaw is starved with energy

#

but not really

#

and tea is very frontloaded

#

and sims are short

#

even slice is 6 min

#

so if you sim a long sim like dungeon route

#

which is more like 30min

tepid trellis
leaden prairie
#

haste gains value

#

cause then there is less tea

#

know what i mean

#

so weird !

#

hate it !

#

does finality actually affect coup too?

Howdy lads, anyone know how much of a dps loss would it be to macro shadow dance and Secret Technique together? with an opener being shadowstrike, blades,dance, technique?

opal basalt
#

!macros

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.

opal basalt
#

As you see

alpine wraith
opal basalt
#

It’s recommended to play with that macro

glacial cloak
#

i thought the min max rotation was to dance, blades then technique

#

was just curious how minimal the loss was if any

do sub rogues use less haste and more crit mast in keys? or do the key sub rogues all run 18% haste too. for 20/21s

#

and would u play a diff gearset for mag terrace since u get the 5% haste for the entire run anyway

i see, i was just curious cuz some of these top sub rogues have like 11% haste and playing puzzle box

Anyone was on the Point what to pick between dwarf and nightelf racial for m+ push I cant decide

#

I like both Looks
I’m thinking dwarf is maybe good for skyreach bleeds or Maisara
Nightelf for skips reseting gargoyle or beams

#

Need some advice

somber sun
#

may I suggest pandaren

plush roost
#

For m+ just play dwarf

#

If youre pushing high

Food sucked in tww

It just all depends on how they tune the food buffs, and i dont think it was particularly strong in DF either

Why are there so many bleeds

Hm, I just ran a quick sim of my character and had a look at the log. Is there a point to spamming backstabs before going into 2nd SB of the pull to get a lot of shadow techniques stored? havent really seen anything anywhere in this regard 😅

lusty narwhal
#

yes, do this 🙂

spare tangle
#

Also a shuriken storm, which I assume is for the guaranteed crit

somber sun
#

is it an actual thing you can do ??

#

or is this ds

spare tangle
#

oh, I see it in the faq, must have missed it.

#

This is trickster

#

With regular ST build

hazy breach
#

It sometimes enters on low cp during the latter half of blades yes, at which point you can storm macro if you want

#

But as guidon leaves you with enough haste to tank the delay inbetween dance and strike anyway

#

It doesnt matter

spare tangle
#

I've never really used it for ST purposes. I was just curious when going through the actual ability log

#

Thought I was going assa for the luls, and then I see a sim of 94k vs 105k, guess I am sticking to sub lol

hazy breach
#

Try to get 1.1k haste and swap to deathstalker if you want ST dps

spare tangle
#

Hm aight, I can barely get 950 rn

somber sun
#

with cosmos neck ?

I havent gotten Cosmos on HC yet tbh 😄

fossil forge

Idk brah you tell me

somber sun
#

how much crit broski ?

spare tangle
#

But there a few fun examples in the logs where they also send Guidon with dance rather than prior to it. And also blades with no dances 😄

#

It might be how it goes in the perfect world, but idk, I couldnt do it

hazy breach
lusty narwhal
#

does the sim account for the "timing bug" when pressing dance too fast after guidon and the haste bonus not getting applied?

fossil forge
#

apparently its 0.8%

hazy breach
fossil forge
#

idk the story about it

fossil forge
#

eleem is the expert

hazy breach
#

All of these things are why reading the sim log as a guide is not a good idea

#

Theres edge cases that happens all the time

#

That does not matter in practice

spare tangle
#

Well, I guess thats why I read it and ask. But I guess ill try the sharpening stone to see

lusty narwhal
#

but its a good way to see if you understand the spec no? if you find inconsistencies between what the sim does and your understanding of the spec you can learn something new
