You say mythic puzzle box like it’s a good thing. 
i play assa too
I’m sorry
gotta stay sharp, u never know when they might get buffed
i played sin on paladins only so far
also these simplified rotations kinda bore me faster
i play 2 rogue and 2 dk specs almost in equal terms just to have some variety
my sim wants me to go 1k+ haste lol
r u ds by any chance
as trickster without Guidon
Yesterday it kept me at around 686 haste
Now it just fullsends it xdd
Haste trinket
ah yes
you guys think it's worth chasing the rings from nexus point? with bonus rolls i mean
ye they're good
i added FW and UB to my cdm, do i even bother
And silent storm
ye p much all of them except a way to know when you have apex proc and coup ready
Shadow technique, ancient arts and unseen blade stacks are like the only things that matter
i mean i use FF to keep up for L'ura
U think ok to have 200 hast
In keys it is fine
Ye for keys
guys, noob question but im unsure which is the correct data
which flask is the highest dps according to the robot? is it mastery or crit
i only track sht stacks 😄
and well AA procs in the centre of my screen
everything else, i dont feel we have any decision making based
(i use coup-bp macro so i got that covered as well)
!stats
So... I actually don't have the haste cap (HM guidon, 600 haste) but sim keep telling me to get more mastery and use mastery flask
Is it normal ?
well they did say AI was gonna replace us
That's all about the second sentence in !haste ok
1024 crit (34%)
600 haste (18%)
344 mastery (38%)
311 vers (6%))
So I suppose I should try to erase vers or less crit to get more haste & mastery ?
You need 54 versa from head xd
Thays it
Rest in mastery
I have 30 % crit 16 haste ,69 %mastery and 1 versa
Vers on legs and feet cause outlaw bis rn
And use flask for haste to go to 20 %
Bis where 😄
you need to min max outlaw and even then its slight above sub
maybe little bit more in very high keys
thats it
When blizzard change another spec to be 2-3 % better than their own and they switch instantly
to be meta slave is not easy i guess 😄
yes you need to have a premade group for this to work though i guess
and st is nonexistent probably
Bro calling me a meta slave while it's my second time ever as Sub since end of Amirdrassil
Not you 😄 i am saying it overall
Very cool - thank you for answering, I appreciate it
Was playing Outlaw even when we were only 20 outlaw in mythic Sepulcher kekw
But still thank you for all the answer
Crit flask or still mastery ?
Personally as far as i can see where it iwll go on BIS
i believe 20% haste / 60-70 mastery/ 30-34 crit will be the optimal
Was able to go on 30 crit, 21 haste (732), 44 mastery (before flask) and 5 vers
With gems adjusment
when you change the versa to mastery you will be good to go
5 versatility won't change much :p
Anyone know if you can upgrade a heroic item to 298 or just mythic?
I think it's just +10ilvl so it has to be mythic
Worst case do it to a crafted dagger for a 295
hero items will go to 285
pls dont waste it
unless it is uncapped
then whatever
Thanks
trying to figure out why I'm 10k below you, similar gear
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8Rj5CwBfBvsAkHxdEEh552
im using mastery flask + rampant abandon potion
which was 1k dps increase
those are my stats
Thanks
also checked the vantus rune buff
but without vantus and with crit flask + light's potential potion i was simming 115k i think
That'll do it, thank you!
maybe you have too much mastery or
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are those stats ok? I'd say a little bit less crit and more mast? or am I wrong
Would it be advised not to play sub until I can get 700 haste with trinket or 800 without?
egoegoego
Do I have enough
As long as you have over 6-7%
Ok so ive gotten a lot better i feel but im still not doing dam, im assuming its up time and consistency but any feedback is appreciated
Mastery is better on DS
okay thanks!
on trickster too
- You’re playing the wrong talents.
- Don’t have enough haste.
- You’re macroing trinket with blades & dance
!guidon
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.

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Are you hitting haste cap w/o flask? Is this the power of Lura ring
!stats
I dont have lura ring just an ass load of haste gear
Wedding ring + omission of light + alleria neck + pitnof saron belt + tier piecea and heavy haste crit boe legs
Killed Lura on ds yet?
We didnt reclear lura last week
I was thinking of doing my boss damage run before everyone else starts playing ds
Think I will as well for one last go on sub
I was going to do it last week but I just wanted to play outlaw instead
Valid
yeah...
Probably
Maybe next week
Need to get my na Tuesday night parse on outlaw with the 295
who knows how that shit works
However it works I’m sure it won’t be bugged 
Surely no bug
Blizzard never bugs the player power mid season system
Ye to hit the breakpoint you kinda need one of these:
- Engineering crafted item (s)
- Alleria neck
- Lura rings
Is the bug from AA not giving back CPs when sectec also just not getting the damage on sectec?
!premed
- The first Ancient Arts clone cannot proc while Premeditation is up, as you are not expending any Shadow Technique stacks. This is not really a bug, just an unfortunate interaction.
- 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)
us tonight surely 👿
no way
I was not thinking about premed one. I was thinking when you proc AA and then use dance + sectec without premed up

now we will be able to bring a rogue buff!
What. That is the premed one
Both rogues buffs!
huge numbing poison value
numBing Chillin
Oh, then mb. I thought when you build up 5 ST, proc AA and use dance + sectec right after that that would be a different bug
So no value in getting AA when you are going to sectec
!aa
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).
And he will probably remain unsaved 
you know my rogue is also unsaved
Premed is up when you dance right, so if you have AA up > press dance > press sectech
Premed is up, so the refund doesnt work
@hazy breach did the DS changes get pushed? Still seeing 3 weeks ago on github for apl
No
Aah ye, and then I suppose it isn't damage increased either
Correct, the clones only spawn when you get the refund
what is the deal with numbing ?
Wdym
Thank you boss man 
is the attack speed and cast speed reduce better than the dmg reduce from atrophic? someone mentioned numbing before .. or was just a joke? ^^
In most keys youll wipe more often to a missed cast than to taking 3% more damage
ok thats what i felt too... was discussing with an other rogue in the guild
Obviously at the highest end when you have coordinated kicks its not as necessary, but i would generally say stick with numbing in keys
In raid you always go atrophic
Hell yeah
whats the theory craft for upcoming voidforge? we upgrade MH mythic dagger and gaze?
281 pulls 
Yes, but nobody knows how many or how often we get them
But mainhand first yes
thank you

It would have had to start to be over.

Rogue bad
"i started to gear a rogue, but it was a mistake, shouldve geared a good class"
Yuhp
With some extra bro and man tossed in
I got an announcement to make gamers
As filler words
hey, has this bug been a thing before? idk i dont recall it .. it counts for the discount as for the slot but i dont have 285 2nd wep, so ingame its still 80 crests, but only 20 in raidbots 
Raidbots wants me to play 1.1k haste on trickster without Guidon, surely bait right?
Ive been giving it some thought and I believe rogue is actually my home and sub is BiS down with outlaw, anyway this is all to say basically that read if gay
haha
It works that way for some other classes (like DHs), but not no rogue so yeah its a bit scuffed
Buddy I don’t think you can handle the complexities of sub rogue….maybe stick to easy outlaw spec…
Read if gay
Oh I’m reading alright
WTF
Fucken gottem
char you foul thing
Idk sounds like you screwed up something or your simming like 2 target cleave, you can link the sim if you want some more assistance with it


what happened to the old bio
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cohMSQL9cnwMACED4qgPHK
this is the latest one
its a sim with all gear i had and gems etc
Oh wait i read that as with guidon, but yeah without guidon its fine
Ahh ok, i thought it was 800 without so that threw me off a bit
thanks for clearing it up 🙂
Well like 0.4% is not a big difference either way
Vaporeon is literally made for human-
unfortunately as i dont have alleria neck i will have to disagree and play outlaw
when i get that alleria neck i will probably go back to sub otl is fun but issa little too rng
ill see how i feel on farma
what about sectec interacts poorly with the apex talent? why don't we want to amp it
It doesnt buff the clones
ah ty
Friendship!
Does anyone know if when we upgrade our crafted weapon to 298, does it keep the embellishment?
I mean i didnt press it 
Guys how do you optimize the parse for salad bar ?
Surprised wcl didnt remove enduring void from the partition smhmyhead
I wonder if it’s worth upgrading the crafted weapon to 294 and having a myth weapon on OH or upgrading the myth weapon to 298 and crafted 285 on OH
I respec my weapon stats to haste/crit and now we are back to haste/mastery pri 😭
praying to get the beloren dagger next week on reclear 
so i can actually upgrade that
btw was the upgrade only possible from 6/6 myth track?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
fully upgraded hero or myth track
damn
but hero track seems like a waste
is the weaponmaster bug not in sims? weaponmaster is still simming higher for me than double finality
Sim latest
Not weekly
ah ty
For stats break points should I treat emberwing like having guidon?
Probably shouldnt use emberwing, but more of a sim it angle
I’ve had absolutely dog luck on trinket blew all my charges on first boss, farmed AA….
Emberwing was a + vs double passive…..so here I am
thats tough 😭
Great now I’m even more sad thanks
u should get it next week tho
I got all the other three
if that makes u feel any better
FML
if you've used it every week ur guaranteed it next week
blame blizzard for replacing dinars with rng slotmachine system
how big of a difference is recklessness pot vs lights potential for single target
Not a whole lot
depends on stats
Assuming you get mastery
I just joined a mythic raiding team (yay) but all my charges are blown in heroic…..do I gameble for the 25% mythic or 100% chance on heroic…..
In M+ do we still also take 2/2 Finality?
dont we take 1finality 1 pp
We didn't take wm in m+ from the start
mb I thought i already had pp lol was still in ST ty
i feel AA was better because that trinket is mythic
That 40 y/o dad life man….someday you’ll understand
Naw sims like even the lfr guidon more
Can’t beat the 1min 30 trinket for sub
Also if you do any m puzzle is way better
5 min sim = 4-6 min sim
It has a 20% variance in duration by default
God I’m such an idiot….should have done this
I think unholy likes it?
And frost!
same diff
My guild does “anyone can roll” …..so I think it ended up in a sub optimal place. A cost of being casual.
💀
most guilds do that no ?
graf 
I liked tradeable self loot we had in…..shadowlands?
At least for the guild and content I was doing it was a little less painful.
Never really enjoyed trying to whisper someone “well acktually that isn’t good for you” …. Most of the time they are enjoying the game in a way I wish I could.
nope

Definitely depends on the guilds vibe I'd imagine, if someone said that to me and they were correct I'd really appreciate it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
what is it about ds that makes so much more haste needed
deathstalker loop is an endless game of spamming finishers
you want to get as many darkest night casts as possible
while still following general spending rules
more gcds in dance means more opportunities to use deathstalker's power
trickster has a lot of its power in sectec
is it even realistic to get that much haste yet or is that just a future season thing
yea
haste has an e
oh just to add onto it being realistic, imo deathstalker is also much more fun than trickster
Also if you have 1.1k haste you can fit 2 darkest nights in dance quite a lot of the time
yes i almost always fit 2
Because you have an extra gcd
Probably a bit late to change up all my gear into haste to give it a try but maybe next season I will
ive actually been enjoying DS so much more that im quite comfortable with cancelaura now 
Cancelaura what
really its just maybe a ring or neck swap with haste flask + oils if you cant reach it
im cancelaura apex if im at 1 stack of mark with like 5-6 sht stack and about to enter dance
pro plays
i dont if sectec is up
rings are definitely something i need to upgrade still, currently have crafted neck because I wasn't in on crown so no chance of getting the bis neck in vault 😔
ill just expend the stack with sectec
pretty niche situation but it happens quite often on a long fight
ngl i genuinely dont know if its the correct thing to do
but if i dont do it, i go into dance + DN without apex
the alternative is to just finish earlier and afk autoing while energy capped
but i feel like that has to be less dps
I still have so much to learn about getting better but honestly I'm happy being as mediocre as I am for this being my first expansion
sub4life
@hazy breach any input on the cancelaura? 
It wasnt worth it when i checked in simc, but its not horrible. Most of the time you will generate enough sht during the first seconds of dance to proc apex anyway
i see yeah
its extremely niche i press it because usually sectec covers the sht problem
In the crown fight, is it better to hit aleria or the simulacrum
When it doesn’t have a shield
Have you checked whether sending dn as first finisher in non-blades dances is a gain? Should improve your chances of getting a 2nd dn.
Huh
Is rogue still using a cancel aura for AA with Secret Technique?
You do not need to cancel it no
any reason raidbots would be suggesting beyond 800 haste with guidon?
puts speculation glasses on link the sim
If its not higher ilvl then im not sure
watch it be 
Oh its dungeonslice
does ds favor a shit ton of haste?
Nah its just a bit jank as sub now with haste breakpoints and lineups
gotcha ill aim for 700ish haste then, thank you
That’s 959. Is trying to get to another gcd
I assume it doesnt make sense to get another gcd
Was that huh related to my question?
If yes, I meant to go into dance with dn up and dn into sectec instead of sectec into dn (with one stack). This should increase your chances of getting two dn during the dance, or do I misunderstand something?
Yes you enter dance with DN if you can
DN or sectech
is 800 haste a solid breakpoint for us now?
Just came back last week so im trying to get back into it
Are we getting the turbo boost thingy for weapons n trinkets this week? And if so..is it one per week?
From what i read 800 haste with trickster is ideal for the extra dance time yes?
!stats
700 if you do
This is kinda where im at
Percents don’t matter
ik its numbers that do
is there a way to sim 1 button assist?
Which is why your screenshot doesn't help 😅
You can pull the apl from simc github
Asks about stats. Description of what to do gets posted. Proceeds to post screenshots not doing that. 
Tbh i asked so i can read after my key ill look at the pic after
Too little with or without
True, forgot that there's people without guidon 
dont ahve :[ ima pug for it after this
You could haste flask for 626 + 165 = 791 and just get one gem with minor haste
There's nothing worse than just about too little haste. Seeing your dance run out before the next global or not getting your second sectec into blades, peak disappointment.
Perfect with hastefood
Don’t tell that to CN
Aren't the just going for one extra global and then dropping haste?
full on mastery into Diminishing Returns slop
Still no second sectec ig, but not as bad. I'd hate playing their version though, ngl.
as long as they’re having fun
Side note are those breakpoints universal? Like keys v raid?
a lot of high key pushers go lower in haste, but yes
guys, im at 701 haste without flask, is it worth swapping food and gems to getting closer to 800 (dont have guidon) or just pop haste flask and get gems for the other stats?
you do whatever you need to get 800 haste
so if you use haste flask its fine
I watched an arcane mage guide yesterday, it's crazy. They don't even play missiles. Rip the class swap dream..
The orb build is fun but they are so weak 🥲
That's just a tuning problem, casting only three spells is a design problem
Their opener 
Trying to solo delves felt so hard in it at the start of the season
Changed to frost
0 issue
Is only normal at the start of midnight I think 0 or 2 set but I was cooking with it 😂
Never enjoyed frost unfortunately
Arcane feels natural to play when you play sub rogue it’s like a 1:1 range copy
I'm hoping for changes in 12.1 that bring back missiles
Ooh yeah that would be fun, I never got to play that in tww but I seen the funnel
damn bro i just saw this..i appreciate you taking the time 💯 @lilac stag
fire is fun rn
imo
but tbf fire is the only mage spec i’ve ever liked
It’s numbers are just
Will have to take that for a spin ig
Not great
My hope is that mage is enough of a hero class that they'll bring arcane or fire back up
Gonna preface this by saying i dont think fire mage is actually good. But statistics on specs that are underplayed generally look worse than they really are, because most good players arent playing those specs
As an example back in dragonflight there was a hotfix patch that buffed assa by 5%, and sub dropped ~3% dps from that on statistics
Despite receiving literally no changes
Yea that’s true, I don’t think it’s like fundamentally trash, it’s just frost does basically everything better than it
Currently
Plus better defensive
yeah and i don’t even think there’s like
serious fire diehard players
atleast any i know of
Then just being middle but having lust definitely makes getting into keys easy though
You can see glimpses of what weaker specs are capable of in the hands of good players
Idk if there’s a class that’s like, so bad you can’t make it fine
that one chinese shadow priest

Any spec not using its apex is a failure imo
what specs don’t use theirs except gdruid
I think they've fixed them all atp
Good question
According to wowhead there's an M+ build that drops it
Lemme check leaderboards
Yeah, first one I've checked drops it
The two specs coming out as meta drop their apex. Coincidence?
Feel like if it’s even a question it’s a failure
You have to spend too many points in the Druid one to get like fuck all back from it
Prot war for m.+ does 1/4
Stormbringer enhance shaman can do 2/4
But it’s close
Back during beta deathstalker had some 2/4 or 3/4 builds
deathstalker
But then they fixed apex working on DN
It is
Deathstalker is noticeably better than trickster on ST
oh ST
Like 4% or so
Yea
that’s insane
do you even go DS on any raid boss tho
Have you pushed the changes yet, Eleem?
Lura and Voracious definitely, probably alleria and beloren too but 
No, but they dont really change anything
Besides the number
how will i ever find another 400 haste to minmax those bosses

1.100 haste is just so excessive
Your major change was to always apex dn right?
May I ask why DS requires so much haste? I didn't see anything in the FAQ.
@short radish come heal a 12 pit with me and prophet
if i wasnt prepping for a meeting soon i would
Imagine going to meetings
Assume it’s something to do with fitting 2 DN evis into the blades window
Or 3? Idk
to have enough cdr on sectec since you don't have the 10% cdr from trickster
You need it to get two sectecs into blades and it gives you another gcd during dance, which ds likes
I completely forgot the trickster CDR on sec tec. Thank you for breaking that down for me!

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).
Guys, can we somehow sim 40 sec starting with the 2 supercharge points Vs without the 2 supercharge points? (From the Pre pull dance).
Do we get the hammer this or next reset?
sup you cute hoes. Just got discharged Saturady from open heart surgery. Any big changes in the past two weeks?
they rebalanced cloud cover which turned into a small buff overall for sub

Open heart surgery eh? Well we switched from Cloud Cover to No.... Scalpels....
They are adjusting guardian druids again, but I think they forgot to add 1% more subt damage
Our weekly fix
Kinda new to sub, have a question:
During Shadowblades, I assume we want to re-use dance as soon as it's up? If so, do we try to squeeze in the second Secret Technique so it's still within blades/dance, or do we wait until we can get a fresh dance for the supercharge?
!blades
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.
^
perfect, ty
how early can i step on lura p3 knock?
progging vanguard - im so bad at dodging hammers. anything i should be doing to make it easier or am i just bad
Thank you for acknowledging my brilliance
Stand still when ES lands and move slightly forward after
Then yeah u have to be a gamer for the hammers coming from the other soaks
does ilvl bump change our bis?
From the void cores?
does atrophic posion still stack?
@short radish you missed great fun
Use inky black potion
im sure i did
We don’t have a bis so no. There are literally 20+ combinations of loot that are all within variance.
should i hold the upgrade on my vorasius dagger next week since it's got vers?
well I just helped prophet get his beetle Stabber so yes
but im rolling nexus point
Need to drop that vers for haste and 
surely the upgrades don't have a seasonal cap or something
since its just weapons and trinkets
I’m hoping beetle is in my vault. Only rings are left on my nxp rolls
is beetle better than edge from SR?
It’s all the same
Im going to start rolling on dungeons since I got the raid trinks already so Im just curious
secondary stats are just a vibe. Don’t freak out over them
yeah for context i'm just pretending to be stupid
for context he’s not pretending.
im just a dude pretending to be a dude pretending to be a dude
I do need to see how close I am to 1100
Suggested dungeons are in the pins. A lot matters on what you want to replace.
I want the nxp rings so that’s where my rolls went. I’ll go back to pit eventually for haste items.
Skyreach is probably the best place to start rolling
Only like 1 of its pieces isn’t tier or really good
It’s also quite a small loot pool so the chance of getting the dagger is pretty solid
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
nop
Basically just looking for dagger since its the only thing in raid I didnt get yet (besides crown items)
Since we're progging Im on lockout and cant farm the early boss dagger
pit or sr likely. Idk what has less items. nxp if you want rings since it also drops a daggie
Just do what I did and roll everything on Skyreach
Am I supposed to want those rings?
Sky has 6 pit has 7
the rings are very good for sub.
That bad?
wasting time on rekills that are likely very minimal upgrades at this point isn’t worth the time especially if you’re 2x a week raid.
Yeah i mean i guess if you suck at reclear its not bad
tbf I feel like if we could rekill faster than we prob wouldnt be stuck on pallys still
Don’t matter. Even if it’s a hour you’re wasting time since they’re likely still killing chim
I think at this point the largest upgrade for any raider was 500 dps
your mileage may vary
Welcome to 2x middle of the pack CE raiding.
Sloppy reclears do more harm than extending.
tbh this tier is probably one of the better tiers for extending
because once you clear crown
you just do belo prog and clear up to dragons/saladbar weekly
yeah barely anyone reclears crown
Funny you mention bc Iv been thinking about joining a 3x guild
i mean some 2 days are really good
but it requires higher prep from leadership
and really good players
do we not run first dance in keys?
you can if you want
Killing it sheesh
ty!
playing w/o skyfury feels pretty dogshit though
my god
Replace Hunter with enha
Ya and warrior loses alot from it aswell 🤣
TRUE
Replace hunter with dh and do 3% more shadow damage
shadow dance extended by 7 seconds during bloodlust . is this a bug?

good morning lovely people
8 am for me ^^
Morning is the best time
looks like you pressed guidon first, then reck potion, which gave you a crapton of haste instead of mastery. make sure to pot before guidon if you're using this potion 🫡
but that juicy juicy skyfury
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/rogue-needs-to-bring-a-real-raid-buff/2304579 got a post going on the PTR forum
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...
was thinking about maybe making a sub wish list too
with the classics like
- more sectec dmg/charges/interactions
- more funnel with banshee's blight
- possible fix to haste situation
- sectec redesign to combine all hits into 1
can't think of any others right now
nice
Poison toggle???
oh 5. update useless talents
haha yeah 6. poison toggle
But that continues to be a good post. I think a raid buff is the single biggest and best change they could make right now.
Everything else is a bandaid whereas a raid buff is a fundamental and positive change to the entire class.
I wish I could post with my actual account on the US forums
yeah! that's why i made it its own post
i think putting out a long list in 1 post would kinda drown out the importance of a raid buff
Yeah
I think we should keep harping on about raid buff
And if / when that happens, it's the next bit of feedback
i have optimism that it could possibly happen in this next upcoming patch
Same
I think doing one thing at a time, to make it heard, make it the feedback is better than a long list or vague "fix it" imo
i think it would be a huge step in making rogue more relevant
thats correct
its always better to state a problem and explain it
that bring a solution
most developers want to find their own solution, so knowing the problem space is important
i also learnt i shouldn't have made the post like the original one i did
where i was being more hostile
It is fine, sometimes you need to be a bit more agressive
my buddy who did the same thing for arms when arms was a dead spec this tier said someone told him if you are any kind of hostile in those posts the devs will straight up ignore them
that can be true yeah
It depends
i personally like to frame things more positively and ask questions
e.g. i understand why there was an incentive to simplify our cleave/aoe model
BUT
If you look at simulations, the diffrence from playing "incorrect" seemed marginal, very low
Which is a important point to argue further
if you bring the stable baseline of the player doing things incorretcly, having a rough estimate to outline the impact is good
because, if we think back
doing single target on 5, 6, 7 targets
still had a okay trade off
you got priority damage and did not sacrafice much aoe
it became rly bad once you move to very high target counts
but i would argue, players would intuitively go to aoe spells there
and with all this context given, i can focus on asking if the change was a net positive?
Because i think its easy to see that the impact was overestimated
and the result is fairly brutal, because AoE, which intuitively starts at around 5 targets
now starts with two
And you can add the context of performance
yeah i'm torn with wanting to go back to old nimble and not
i do miss being able to do cleave and choose to evis for prio
but there's the good point that it tied our ST to our AOE in tuning
now we are back at being the literally worse class in game
So far!
To be fair
Same, I want basic cleave
just not bad
If you look back at legion
the initial subtlety design made a lot more sense
you had single target focus
and cleave/aoe was funnel
the funnel was extremely good to make up for the deficit
This design constraint was not understood/iterated on well
because in BfA
we suddenly got the funnel removed
which, if you look at it this way seems like
"wait, this creates a problem"
and the fix was black powder
but black powder did not fix the cleave
and if you remember back
it did not fix aoe either
black poweder initially was ONLY used on 8+ targets
assassiantions crimson tempest
did MORE damage with the initial non tick damage
than black powder
so if you spammed CT on sin, you would outdo a sub rogue spamming BP
oh yeah i remember CT doing more than BP haha
i just wish we knew the reason of them nuking nimble, its not like we were cleave gods or anything
i think it's because they wanted to make sub easier to understand
The reason was that they wanted to simplify the rotation
in terms of builder/finisher priority
and the aoe part was "difficult"
so they went all out and made it 2+ targets aoe
and removed nimble
such a dumb reason
because if you remember a big part of questions we got in here during TWW was asking about what builder/finisher to use when
it was a bit confusing for sure
i remeber discussion
but it did create fun gameplay
ye but that still applies today
just the answer is different
to a lesser extent but yeah haha
now it's more "what haste do i need"
"from all things to complain, people talk about nimble 🙄 "
"its the same damage, why do people complain, we lost nothing"
thats why i dont get the change, it hasnt made anything easier it has only moved the goal post when you press black powder and you are completly useless in low target counts 
and i understand that
initially, aoe was tuned high
so the diffrence was low
now that aoe is not high
cleave is bye bye
removing tools to seperately tune both, just made the exact concern voiced
come true
is it me or there’s a awkward timer between your 2 mins where your secret technique is coming back up in like 8-9 second so you want to use a spender but if you do there’s a chance not hitting 5 stacks of shadow technique due to RNG for the super charged secret technique + coup de grâce 😭
I mean, you already use it on 2
thats as simoke as it gets
we don't talk about stikr
ignore strike
but outside of strile
its super simple
assassiantion got a full patch of talent reworks because their cleave was bad
so lets see if subtletxy gets the same
Is there any advices for beloren progress? We are stepping in to MtQ tonight
you're likely to have enough even cutting it close because of how fast we gen sht in dance
TRUE
optimize around the egg phase, you want to at least bank 2 superchargers before it
To be fair, rogue in general is kinda mid
and i would also like a raid buff
rogue is very mid in cleave yeah
thats not "bench if your dps is mid"
sub is at least quite decent on some fights
true but i thought we want to have 5 stacks of shadow technique already up ready so the moment you dance you can use secret technique to get an extra shadow strike in
we can pad on certain fights
like dragons
we have the best burst, so baloren is great
(best burst of rogue)
I guess im holding coup too
i think i'm misunderstanding the issue you're having tbh
if i'm reading this right, it sounds like you're trying to go into dance with 0 CPs and banking 5 sht
like im afraid to spend combo point when secret technique is up in 7-8 seconds, and if i do and didnt get 5 stacks of shadow technique in time to proc apex talent, im trying to use secret technique + dance the moment its up, so i find my self capping combo point and doing few back stab so at least the energy isn’t capped
I'm not sure, but my gut tells me that rogue wouldn't have been benched as much in its current relative state
oh yeah that's fine
yeah is it better not to use raw evisecrate 7 seconds before dance + secret technique and just cap the combo point and spend backstab so at least the energy isn’t capped
yeah you can sit at full CPs for a few seconds
and press backstab to not cap energy
that's fine
sorry it sounds a bit confusing explaining it
i think i get it now
and even if you cut it close sectec generates 4 sht from the clones
so you're very likely to have enough sht to apex your 2nd supercharged CP after sectec
yeah i wonder if it’s a dps gain or loss by doing that getting super charged apex back to back spender from supercharged secret technique + dance -> apex + super charged coup de grâce back to back, or is it better just to spend that combo point outside dance window to get eviserate off
you don't need to apex sectec because it only applies to the phys portion which is quite small
also premed blocks the apex anyways
so you'll naturally not apex your sectec without needing to try if you do dances correctly
ahh i see, thanks for clearing it up
honestly though now that i’m progging beloren the egg phase damage seems like a complete joke
it was extremely tight before, but the +20 secs make a big diff
bringing the egg down to like 32-33% in the first egg phase at this point and people are still uncomfortable with it
egg phase doesnt have any dmg amp, right?
no dmg amp
i did it only once and it was hc few weeks ago so i forgot
the whole fight just feels like figuring out 2nd p1 and its dead on a clean pull
yeah my guild's prog on it has also been quite fast
i think not needing to optimize egg dmg makes the boss WAY easier to prog

Do you guys think well see some Subs playing 21/22s? its all Outlaw up there it seems :/
hehe not surprising
people just be attempting to assassinate me by moving out of my quill last second
yes
in time
because the small birds moved and they need to hit it
there are sub rogues doing 21s currently
hi guys, is there a big gap between Weapon Mastery and Omens of Ending?
either i'm dumb or i have no idea what this means
do you mean the talent weaponmaster
and something else
finality maybe?
yo, running puzzle box for m+ instead of guidon at 1.3k mastery is trolling right? somehow box sims better but i hardly believe xd
you're hitting pretty heavy DR at that point i think
but could be fine
guidon is good
then use guidon
there are rank 1 sub rogues running guidon
in fact i would say if your mast is that high
you would benefit more from guidon
than puzzle
fully buffed with shaman in group I am at almost 90% mastery now and Guidon sims ahead of box for me - I am finally free
I mean is the difference between Weapon Mastery 1/1 + Omens of Ending 1/2 and Weapon Mastery 0/1 + Omens of Ending 2/2.
Youd say its a personal topic, that the current high keys players just enjoy outlaw more? Wox in Stream yesterday said, that outlaw just does straight 20-30k dps more and doesnt require resto shaman
are you asking about this
if so x2 finality is better than x1 weaponmaster
r1 sub is currently streaming 21-22s
oh well wox will be biased haha
because he's an outlaw main
but yes outlaw is in general better than sub in keys right now
but sub is currently performing pretty well, so if you want to push for title it's more than capable
Guidon better would be broken
Okay, I get it. Thanks a lot!
what does the deathstalker Improved sec tec mean
dont u always take imp sec tec
nah DS didn't take it before
because x2 finality was better than imp sectec

since evis does so much dmg with DN
interesting
but now gaining a talent point from dropping WM you can put it in imp sectec
that actually means DS does slightly better cleave/aoe in raid talents now
haha, funny coincidence
Sheeshh
Why thas me aswell
he's being a traitor!
Slayer arms warrior is kinda game changer you literally almost dont press eviserate
that's because it's just a slight slap on the wrists lol
yeah in the 18 caverns i did my guildie arms was destroying the prio targets

how can it feel better when you are spaming thrash macroed with ironfur and moonfire. i was playing bear as a 4th alt for fun to tank weeklies with friends and i hate it
you are playing no apex no 4set its cursed
the raze build felt worse?
so pressing more than 2 buttons feels worse? i dont understand what you mean by "feels better/feels worse"
hey, is playing double arcanoweave lining an option? i got 2 myth daggers after rerolling and ask myself if theres a got alternative for embelishments without crafting dagger with hunt
it is an option and you could always sim it, your offhand weapon doesnt matter that much, its a stat/embelish slot
but i think it would be a dps loss to not have hunt
seems like, cant find any guide or even logs with some other build than hunt
as long as you have the highest ilvl weapon in your main hand OH is just a slot to help you improve stats you need
sure

ty
caus the apex build feels bad?
idk what else to say
u sink a bunch of points into it and its meh at best
we are off topic and wrong channel so i am just gonna stop here
we been talking about mages in here for hours
We don't have much to say about sub that hasn't been said in pins anyways 🐸
hey sometimes my coup de grace does not refresh/give 5stacks of flawless form is it normal or im misreading something?
The target needs to be fazed for that
But it should be unless you are swapping target right before pressing coup

how many targets does nimble hit? not all i asume when there can be some, that arent fazed?
i have no clue why i wrote nimble i ment unseen blade
Unseen hits 1 target
but that
yeah i just reread
i see so its importsnt to not target swap
well before coup that is
on which target does shuriken storm trigger unseen? does that work any diffrent ?

oh thats why i tought about nimble - unseen blade also hits up to 7 targets but then i guess it doesnt apply fazed to all of them?
you flurry the unseen blade hit to 7 targets but it doesn't apply fazed
you can only apply fazed to more than 1 target with sectec
or cloud if talented
or i guess if you tab target you can "spread" fazed that way
well thats good to know
if im not mistaken coup goes from the target to the others
so i always swapped to the most middle sitting mob
but thats not very good it seems
what about the aoe situation? u shuriken storm and get coup
Your main target
which target do u attack
Sectech applies fazed
100!
nicu
Nimble is based around you
So no need
which is my main target in that case
true just sit in the middle
Your target
understood - tyvm
do we know anything about that voidforge comming today for NA
and any lura killers who did crystal with video
Am I slow or is it super hard to get the second sectec into blade window with exactly 800haste and box? on dummies its almost impossible for me feels like there is always 1sec or less left when sectec is back up
i thought you could only really do that with lust no?
or i might be thinking of something else
wasnt the plan to fit 2 dances into blades and then hit the 2nd sectec right before the second dance and blades end (if you dont have lust)
honestly I'm not sure if it's better to send the sectec there or to wait for next dance so you have it supercharged
im not sure bout 800 haste and no guidon
but if u have 700 haste and guidon in regular burst u do get 2nd sec tech like 3 sec before blades end
if u add lust on top of that u get sec tech as ur first finisher in the 2nd dance
yeah i used to just supercharge it with the next dance now i want to make it fit within blades and it feels super hard
the logs I looked at never sent the sectec unless supercharged so I just assumed that was always better
with lust its alright, some seconds between dances then you can 2nd dance --> sectech but without lust it feels a bit scuffed but maybe im slow or should finally start bonusrolling for the damn guidon
i mean the whole point we go for that much haste is to have 2nd sec tech in burst
yeah thats what i thought
without that u just get like 2 sec longer dance which is not bad but its not huge either
Try to go a little above 800 haste. I think that number is in a perfect setup
I have guidon and still sit around 720 because of gear I have and it helps with lag or messed up play
does anyone have the tabble with x haste gives this many extra globals
!haste
Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.
damn its not it
with pbox and 800 haste it was impossible to get another stec in
it was always 1 sec left (without lust) and it would land outside
720 with Buffs or blank staying in the City?
do u use dance macros?
like dance+sec tech, dance+evis etc
anyone know if I can see supercharged in logs?
i use dance + stec - ive tried it on multiple ocassions and it was not doable
Don’t dance unless you have sectec or blades up
LOL not having a macro for the dance that starts without sectec could be the issue
u need it for the second dance in burst
thats when i fire dance+evis
tbh you kinda can make it havr enough cps to just play normaly
very often ud get refunda aswell
havrnt had issues tbh without
if unlucky it would sometimes not refund and u need an extra builder but its doesnt happen often
that good, i didnt just understand why u replied to me 😄
sec tech doesnt refund under premed, that happens always, its a bug afaik
I just replied because I wasn’t sure if you were using dance on CD. I messed up doing that in the beginning.
i ment more for the second dance
Should work I also done it with 700 haste pbox
un first u get so many sth stacks it dont matter most of the time
well for the second dance i usually have time for one global between dances, which usually is backstab so i do start the second dance with full cp
thats why i fire macro
in special occasions if i dont have aa up i can go naked dance and strike if i have enough sht
thats intresting - is this with or without guidon? on almost every double dance blades i comr out of first dance with enough sth to bridge to the second
