Yeah TW has weird scaling but more likely you are just pushing buttons

#

Which most people don't

#

How far can you push keys as a sub?

alpine wraith
#

depends how you manage to mind control people to invite you

#

dmg is fine

I’m struggling at 19s rn

Nobody wants me

need to become better at mind control

make them blind and not see the better specs in lfg

#

i havent really played rogue since like tbc/wrath so i feel like an idiot. just mashing shadowdance secret tech & evis feels like im juiced as hell lmao

alpine wraith

but yea at that rate you really need to just know people

#

or make yourself known

I'm teaching new players to be good in my gf's guild in order to form my own mythic+ pushing team in the future. You've gotta think long-term. Play the patient game. Think 67 moves ahead. Ascend.

#

I think you missed that reddit post about how amazing black powder is

#

(I hope somebody screenshotted it, it was so good)

small sleet
#

What was their logic lmao

#

Black powder is like the least satisfying button to press in the entire game imo

tribal blade
small sleet
#

It has no oomph behind it

tribal blade
#

BP forever the limp dick replacement for combo

kind edge
#

it would feel better if PP was working properly

small sleet
#

I mean it’s damage is fine

#

Just how the spell sounds and looks is lame as fuck

tribal blade
#

it's an incredibly boring button

dusky yacht
tribal blade
#

of all the abilities they could choose to fawn over, choosing BP is certainly a decision of all time haha

tribal blade
#

that has the EXACT same sound as BP

#

you can't make this shit up

small sleet
#

Black powder is so cool they had to do it twice

#

You just don’t get it

tribal blade
#

TRUEEE

#

they should give rogue a two-handed sword spec called, uh......

#

..Limbs

small sleet
#

Make outlaw a ranged spec but keep blade flurry cleave based around the player and not the target so they have to go in melee anyways

keen dome
#

when you push blade flurry, your character pulls out a dozen guns and fires them wildly

small sleet
#

Only if it pulls everything in a 40 yard radius

keen steppe
#

Imagine black powder would have a effect like echoing blades for fok in bfa HOLY

north schooner
#

imagine if bp had a glyph to turn it into an explosion of confetti

What if i dont get full cp on my opener from shadowstrike?

#

pistol shot, bte, ks are all more or less medium range

#

😏

small sleet
#

They just gotta replace sinister strike and dispatch and add a minimum range to all abilities like charge has so you can’t use them in melee

rapid forum
#

i dont mind removing sinister and dispatch, very boring buttons. but minimum range sounds horrible haha

#

its fine tho, blizz forgot that rogue exists anyway

#

question, when playing box, you guys usually re-stealth after using it or is it not necesary? whats the ideal oepner on a big pull just like box->ShBlade+Pot-> shuriken-> dance+sectec ?

weary tree
#

get high cp > box > blades+dance+sectec

empty bobcat
#

ah so I do shuriken first then box plus macro

weary tree
#

yeah

empty bobcat
#

ok ic makes kinda sense yes

#

so u open from stealth as usual

weary tree
#

Doesnt really matter in keys how you open there

#

As long as you box just before you use your cds

empty bobcat
#

well I like my tank to count 3,2,1 so I can box then initiate so I am not standing there like an idiot while he runs away

#

thats why I like box first more

small sleet
#

Just shadowstep to the mobs if he moves away while you’re channeling it

#

Having to cast shuriken storm after box wastes time on the buff that could be better spent inside of cds

empty bobcat
#

ok makes sense

peak ice
#

Ur tank counts down each pull?

small sleet
#

That kinda fuckin owns

#

Hella teamwork and preparation

uncut juniper
#

I wish box was a 1.30 min trinket

small sleet

I’m so glad it’s not or else I’d have to use it

Heya! Question regarding upcoming Sporefall Loottable:
The Leather Belt i.g. will be new BiS. Since we all almost use Embelish on Belt atm, which Slot will be prefered for the Embelishment?
Wrist or Cloak? Or jewelery even?
Your thoughts?

void ocean
#

feels like at eternity when there r mechanics going on around

void ocean
#

just put it on anything u have crafted

#

i think i have my embelishments on oh dagger and boots

vocal pulsar
#

oh boots would also be an option right

void ocean
#

not sure if u can put lining on jewelry tho

Wrists or cloak are good slots too

Hey looking at chim logs, most top logs use premeditation instead of ephemeral bond. I guess it's a min max thingy to gain 0,1% dps on opener and two vanishes. In prog it's usually safer to bond right? Or is it always better to use premed ?

vale pine
#

pewmwsirion ia better

#

*premeditation

hazy breach
#

Without the cloud cover bugs it is always better to use premeditation yes

lilac stag
#

rip pepe_smoke

void ocean
#

premed fixed in 12.0.7 right... right?

hazy breach
#

I dont think theyll rework it no

#

It also doesnt matter much

lilac stag
#

imo better chance of sub getting minor rework instead of just premed getting reworked.

Hye quick question. Some guild mate told me about a bug for poisons if you play 2 rogue of the same spec (in this case 2 sub rogue). Is that a real thing?

hazy breach
#

Hasnt been a thing since tww season 1

alpine wraith
#

yea atro used to stack

#

not additively but well it did some extra dr

tribal blade
#

we're so cooked humanity

#

i dunno how you can figure out what's real and not online anymore

alpine wraith
#

time to put us in blizz code to fix everything

#

with AI

#

i will send myself directly into getting premed fixed

tribal blade
#

could you also fix all the other bugs while you're at it pretty plx ❤️

What poison do we run as sub?

id defo play outlaw a bit more if it only wasnt for the weapon dif

#

but weapon dif doesnt usually allow respec untill like 2 months deep into the season and at that point i just dont care anymore 😄

graceful osprey
#

That’s why I have a rogue for each spec lol or I’m mentally insane

i think last time i played outlaw was in keys in df s3

#

!haste

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

coral bear
#

is 685haste enough?

hazy breach
#

yes

coral bear
#

Thank you Eleem

#

!guidon

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.

coral bear
#

Whats the timer i gotta use Guidon, before i use my burst (Blade + Dance)

fossil forge
#

It is what it is though

coral bear
#

Thank you

#

BTW is Deathstalker worth swtiching for?

#

its around 4% stronger in single target than Trickster

fossil forge

If you have enough haste its good for st bosses

If youve got the haste for it yes

would be a waste

Is Deathstalker Haste Crit?

Or Haste Mastery

really? i thought it would work like this too, i guess killing Lura then unlocks beloran loot ?

#

if you assume you havent killed beloran that is

hazy breach
#

Might, but also might not

graceful rock
#

I think they don’t because they’re different raids

#

Yeah killing Lura would unlock beloren

#

And Alleria would do the same but just for voidspire bosses

quick question from a noob sub rogue mythic raider, how do y'all do the paladins fight rotation wise? Do you just pump shuriken storm all fight as builder, or do you go back to backstab when they are just two and one? and do you just use black powder as finisher all fight?

golden totem
graceful rock
#

You will probably use Storm on pull when they’re all 3 stacked

Equipping mythic pbox to get accepted into keys then swapping to my heroic guidon is painful lol I’m hoping I can get into a mythic raid lol. It pains me to see heroic trinkets on my sub lol

#

so fun it’s keeping me from going assa

hazy breach
#

Swapping items while qeueing does nothing

#

They see your maximum ilvl anyway

hexed wave
#

Sorry, I meant it raises my ilvl, ohhhh

#

okay cool

#

makes sense I appreciate that

random mason
#

Also hows the like 1 ilvl gonna help u get accepted

lilac stag
#

you'd be surprised

hexed wave
#

People are dumb, you would be surprised lol

#

exactly lol

#

280, they see a 281 they get that person in a heartbeat

#

People min max so much is annoying for casuals

lilac stag
#

1 full ilvl is a decent amount of crests spent on upgrades

random mason
#

Yeah but they see a 280 rogue and like 10 275 uh dks

#

Who they pickin

hexed wave
#

but I get it they wanna time stuff

#

EXACTLY

coral bear
hexed wave
#

especially if you’re capped on crests too

#

I did not but should I if it’s heroic?

vale pine
#

Laura might be good for deathstalker

lilac stag
#

287 rogue had a more difficult time getting weekly done than my 276 (at the time) dk

vale pine
#

as its dominant single target

lilac stag
#

i'm just gonna run keys on the DK, not sitting in lfg is nice lol

vale pine
#

can def. play both tho

hexed wave
#

not sure if it’s worth voidcoring heroic trinkets but I guess if I have it might as well use it to upgrade if i’m never gonna get the mythic version

lilac stag
#

the cores are free

hexed wave
#

Yea idk don’t see why not ur right

random mason
#

just run 5 more dungeons

hexed wave
#

exactly

lilac stag
#

it's an ilvl boost and eventually a mythic crest saver

hexed wave
#

I just overthink lol

#

knowing the mythic exists pisses me off but yea i’ll just get on that!!

#

Thanks team!!! 🥰

#

That and gaze and it’s GG. Then maybe voidcoring my crafted wep last

#

3.2k, without your guys help I wouldn’t get there, trying to get 3.4 😂

lilac stag
#

why do you not have all 4 items upgraded?

#

holy run heroic, 2 prey a few bountiful and everything you're at +40 ilvl

#

not even counting keys

coral bear
#

Yeah true

random mason
#

bc i only do the things that are fun

coral bear
#

Its a free 40+ilvl upgrade that takes couple hours

lilac stag
#

a little work makes the things you consider fun, a bit more fun as you can push further

aka you're being lazy

Naw dude, the problem is, dude gets weird and says basically why haven’t you done this and that, I do work lol, then goes why do keys… like ok man telling me how to play the game lol

I love asking for advice

Maybe I should have said I prefer keys which I did but of course I had to get explained every other mode I. the game like cool man sure

lilac stag
# flat snow you said you had to work

no he didnt he took the insults as someone not giving a shit and just decided giving practical advice to the "I need ilvl for keys but I dont want to do it" a block

#

idgaf what any of you actually do. peeporeallyhap

hexed wave
#

Bro I don’t need to go crazy on the ilvl for keys i’m not saying I don’t get invited at all I just said for min max purposes and for people who care sometimes I swap higher ilvl but I wasn’t aware it tells them my max anhwsys

it shows like 285 but then you check and they have 276 weps

Im realizing this xpac, that its better to choose vaults for ilvl upgrade, than for "bis items" cause they always change

Rings, Neck etc

Everypatch something changes

idk im looking at gearing another guy who is 275 and at this point i just need to farm some 500 myth crests to upgrade everything i have in bags

i did the ritual sites and delve route for heroic gear. dont need nearly as many myth

alpine wraith

i find funny on my main each vault now is possible socket or extra coin

@warm marlin I think I surprised our officers how quickly I got the dk ready. It’s now on the raid roster list. kekdog

Not sure if rogue or dk for bird prog since we just have one dk

warm marlin

If you have one dk belo might be the only fight rogue is better

lilac stag
#

yeah soak bot or grippy boi

#

They have to sort that out

lilac stag
#

I just give options.

warm marlin
#

I had just gotten my 3rd vault on dk (and was gearing it kinda casually before) when I swapped it in on lura

lilac stag
#

I should hit 284-85 ilvl with this vault

warm marlin
#

and on 4th week it was 288

lilac stag
#

I need some trinket luck in vault

warm marlin
#

did you bonus roll blood on chim

lilac stag
#

no I didn’t bonus roll. used all for gearing. Wasn’t planning on pugging it. garf

warm marlin
#

dont be like me and forget to check the loot pool

#

blood removes the garbage trinket

lilac stag
#

however, if I goto chim reclear I think I’d get it. Everyone else should have it with bonus rolls.

#

The two important bosses.

#

which maybe I should do blood vault

Have to check loot pools

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.

sick swift
#

Awesome, thank you! My dps has admittedly been lower than I would like but this is my first expac trying sub so I'm still learning all of the ins and outs 🙂 thank you for your time

#

I had a feeling it was because I was dumping shadow dance on CD unless I had 10-12 seconds left on shadow blades CD but I haven't had an opportunity to test it yet due to the extended maintenance

#

Is imp wound poison worth taking over instant, or is the damage so small that numbing is better?

hazy breach
#

You can have wound OR instant as well as Numbing/Atrophic or Crippling

earnest crane
#

guys does anyone know why the dps number in details and the dps number in logs are diffrent?

hazy breach
#

Details counts the time spent in combat, logs count the time spent inside the dungeon, aka it includes downtime and deaths

lilac stag
#

In game dmg meter is shit

earnest crane
#

oh u mean logs dont stop when we are out of combat ?

minor sonnet
#

in game also is distorted if you have an aug in group

lilac stag
#

game is also distorted if you are out of range of the person logging

#

switching from sub to assassin for mythic + higher keys, whats the best talent tree fatebound or deathstalker ???

small sleet
#

Sub is good in higher keys if you’re just switching because you think assa is better

vale pine
#

wrong channel, but i think fatebound is currently the prefered choice iirc

small sleet
#

But also id ask questions about assassination in the assassination channel lol

vale pine
#

for subtlety you would want to play trickster

edgy imp
vale pine
#

you can typically go to guides or look at logs/raider.io

small sleet
#

I’d just look up the assassination guide on wowhead as a starting point

shut mantle
#

at what point is there too much mastery

#

im at 1400 mast with pot

#

do i just go crit flask instead at that point

vale pine
#

best is to sim

shut mantle

quick question regarding kicks and esp cc in m+ pugs - while i do focus kick often u have to switvh fast to some targets for either another kicl or cc - mouseover kinda fails alot and picking and clicking the right plate to then kick/cc is a mess - what can i do

shut mantle
vale pine
#

feast as food - yes

#

the poiton - no

#

the problem is, the potion spawns a silence zone

#

even if it is good

shut mantle
#

the food i take

#

ye the silence is so aids

small sleet
#

Also you should not run weaponmaster it is bugged

vale pine
#

you can't play it

latent remnant
#

is there anywhere in the sim result you can actually see your stats other than counting it up yourself

vale pine
#

its impossible for melee to utialize well

vale pine
#

especially true melees

latent remnant
#

ahhh thanks

shut mantle
#

its fully bugged?

small sleet
#

Replace it with a second point in finality

vale pine
#

weaponmaster is slightly worse

#

As Trickster :Trickster: on all target counts: Try to ensure that you always have :ancientarts: active for your supercharged non-Secret Technique Finisher during :ShadowDance:. (This can mean using :ShadowStrike:/:ShurikenStorm: at full CP to activate it)
If i am on 7 cps I still use shadowstrike to proc apex and then do double finisher ?

vale pine
#

so finality is better, mostly because the clone attacks don't work with apex

lilac stag
#

!apex

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).
vale pine
#

you play trickster

#

seecret cd is close, you stop using finishers

#

once secret is off cd

#

you slam your secret + dance macro

#

after secret you strike

#

and this is the point you look at the optimization

#

is aa up?

#

if its up, you just slam evis

#

if its not, you use another strike (you are almost guaranteed to have enough stacks, exception is only the opener)

lilac stag
#

next lesson, how to track and use sht stacks

vale pine
#

don't rly think you need to

#

as you get enough when you play correctly

#

especially when running warning sign

lilac stag
#

i mean if you play correctly you dont need to think about if you have AA ready

#

for some, seeing the actual sht stacks is easier

#

just options

vale pine
#

well, my point is, the optimization is simple if you look at it as a "once per dance"

#

while this perspective is probably not obviouse

lilac stag
#

simple spec getting overcomplicated? that could never happen in here kekdog

vale pine
#

because with the explenation i gave its rly just "ohhhh, i only need to think this one time at this very specific point"

#

and thats in general easy to understand

#

people have the tendency to over-analyze and complicate things

zenith flare
#

thank you fuu for the explanation, really in depth

manic ice
#

is there a downside to useing an evic+SD macro into SS>SecTech, roughly 2sec before sectec comes off cooldown

small sleet
#

Apexing sectech is not really good, it does pitiful damage because it only applies to the physical hit

#

So there’s no upside to doing that

lilac stag
#

you just hold dance for Sectech

paper trail
#

@vale pine do u optimize night evi for dance or only making sure u apex it

vale pine
#

you optimize darkest night too yes

paper trail
#

Which means u have to delay dance potencially 2 globals or so sometimes?

#

Or sit at full energy

plush roost
#

In blades u can send your second dance a bit early/late if dn is 1/2 globals out

#

Apex charged dn

#

Is stronger than sc sec tec

Im gonna get baited into a dn joke soonOMEGAKEKW

paper trail
#

Thinking if i should go ds on lura or not

#

But have never played it prior so might be less overall dmg incase i dont optimize good enough

small sleet
#

I’m going ds on lura purely because it sounds more fun

plush roost
hazy breach
#

But as DS you ideally always apex your darkest night, and supercharge as many of them as possible

#

Like the gameplay pattern is often to sit at 1 stack of mark, build up 5 sht stacks > evis > dance+storm macro > DN

manic ice
#

appreciate it, thanks

modern sentinel

shiiet,reason to play more wow ig

warm marlin

I do kind of wish they would just half the crest cost (which would stack with myth achieve) rather than remove the cap

I know why they do the cap instead but man

I just want mythic shoulders

the triple paladin ones are my fav

they make plenty of sense. They don’t want to waste time in their key so they take the highest io and ilvl for specs they are used to playing with.

Well when your schedule doesn’t vibe with others in guild, you do the LFG thing and make the best of it. Keys really don’t mean shit to me outside of being a means to an end for gearing.

That's fair. Only reason I'm pushing past 12s is my friend is a big pusher and got me into them. Short of him and the group I was introduced to I'd just fill the vault and call it a day

you just have to game your haste so the items you want show as huge upgrades

so i resorted to passing

good times

tbf i topped my belo'ren prog kill so i deserve the loot kek

The alleria neck really throws off stat budgets, I don’t like jewelry being so heavily mono stat

it sure helps for deathstalker lmao

you can also craft the engineering stuff tomorrow

aka na

there is only specific slots for that tho

there's head boots and bracers

for engi

thats great more calculus i must do for my character to get near negligible gain

Using the devouring knight’s visage not eng goggles right now though

wait so i can craft these haste and go pure crit mast crafted and jewelry

or what

vale pine
#

you can go with one pure stat on these

#

so if you need e.g. a bit more haste on deathstalker

small sleet
#

for example, im crafting a second pair of boots that are pure haste

The problem is going for 10s, you are competing with so many people

most people havent really been playing it because its hard to swing that much haste

nothing i need to worry about right now 😄

Do 12-14’s, way quicker invites if you have io

small sleet
#

but the uncapped crests make it a lot easier to just craft some extra shit

just floating around doing keys at this point

with bonus rolls you should have about 6 myth track items by now

unless you got slot dupes

Are people moving away from trickster? I've been sitting at the 700haste break point for a minute

fiery fog
#

no

small sleet
#

no, deathstalker is just better in pure single target

#

in all other scenarios trickster is better

fiery fog
#

deathstalker is named that way because youd likely want to stalk death after playing it for more than 5 minutes

devout helm
small sleet
#

yeah, there's really no need to play deathstalker, im mostly doing it for the hell of it

timid rose
#

that and going that heavy on haste wasn't exactly worth it eh?

small sleet
#

i mean its worth it if you have the items to swap to to reach it

#

but yeah if your only gear set has 1100 haste thats probably not great

is there a way i can just add line items for crit/mast on my crafted stuff vs mast/haste?

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.
