simming is a big meme
huh why?
because the sim wants you to go for less haste
and values haste less
the sim will tell you to play at something like 630-640 haste
Assuming I can play it rather optimally, then it's good right?
yea I've lived by the sims and I'm 644 haste right now
gemming crit/mastery
You’re probably missing globals in dances at that haste
go count your gcds against a dummy and see if you can get 8 everytime
Maybe not every time, but it’s really difficult to always hit the globals at that low of a haste
If that's true, then the haste / SD combo sure has made it more complex
So 8 globals in a dance?
Yes you want 8 globals in a standard dance
yay or nah swaping from agi enchant to mast ?
I think I get 8 quite well to be fair
just tested it, not sure though don't hate me
Anyone else having this much trouble doing keys? I run my own 18 resil's and get no sign ups.
at 644 with a coup, the final gcd is razor thin. double check your final hit is still a ShS not a BS, or if its an evis you can tell based on how hard it hits
Yeah I think I am seeing it now, got like 7 there once, then 8 on the two after
interesting, thanks for the good pointers guys
on 627 I managed with coup but it is 0 lost time
In real life examples you will miss like 0.1 -0.2 somewhere
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I have like 644* haste and it gives me a SD of 7.3
yeah same at 627
the tooltip does some rounding
also the game could be doing some rounding 😛
Yo was looking at some of your parses yesterday, just mashing through 20s now so a bit behind but how the hell are you getting to 2750 mastery. Even with prepot reck + sky fury I don’t see it
thats normal
rogue is not meta
Prepotting reck with like 1100 mastery puts you around that right?
The wcl page only shows the exact stats he had when the key started, so the prepot is included
Have 1k base mastery. add 1750 from reck pot and there you go
Reck is 1099, no?
And what Eleem said
Ah the price of being poor
R1 is 1584
Ye, the cheaper ones are still quite strong
You also went from 175k to 220k in past week, and game shark codes?
I forgot, Eleem, when we go into the 2nd dance during Blades. Do we use shuriken storm into evis? Or do we start full CP and just Dance + Evis
It's just Shadowstrike that is bugged for Dance, right?
So what we using reck over lights potential now
I think it has value in keys?
did i do stupid shit, i recrafted my crit to mastery and now my statweights tell me crit is 24.10 single and mastery 22.5?
Don't bother spending time on stat weights. Just sim straight items and what gives the most
ill try and sim gems then 😛
It doesnt really matter, you can do strike too if you want
Just be aware with sub sims that you want 700 haste basically. Regardless of what the sim says in terms of haste value
The guidon haste gives you enough extra leeway anyway
@hazy breach u sending reck or lights potential?
You can storm once during dance if you want to, but its like 0%
Reck for mastery in aoe, lights potential on ST
Like the #subtlety-faq says
cheers amigo
Shoutout Eleem for answering us noobs with more or less stupid questions 
in what dungeon?
eleem is a ragnaros gamer like me we are basically related
I said hi to him once when he was slapping the target dummies and he ignored me. I cried
XD
Unluck
!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.
!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.
hello what option for sim raid boss mono pls?
Patchwerk 1 boss 5 min
!talents
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Light's Potential
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
ive got a rotation question, and sorry if its in the pins somewhere. if im max combo points and sectech just came up -but i dont have ancient arts proc, am i backstabbing to get ancient arts before sending sectech/dance? or is it not worth wasting total uptime if sectech is already off CD
sectech doesnt care bout aa
on beloren, is Feint enough to survive a soak?
do I finish prep on the havoc or dk for labyrinth delve main
does soak even count as aoe
dh has speed and sustain, dk is invulnerable
okay why does sectech consume my AA then
it consumes it but it doesn't matter to play around it like coup
aa only applies to the physical portion of sectech
aight, let me rephrase, u dont care if sectech is under aa or not
so its not as impactful as you might think it would or should be
Where can I see talents? :))
basically its fine to apex it, but you dont go out of your way to do it
ingame, pres N
the wowhead guide should be updated with the different talent builds
thank you

wut
i was feint + dancing it
feint is probably enough
imagine the mirrors talent value
ye u can play mirrors
tbh its probably still grief to play mirrors lmao
does elusiveness evasion DR stack with feint? maybe evasion/feint is the play
yes but then you can only do it every 2mins
and cheat also lets you survive if you mess up
Never an if for me
the "oh shit" button
😄
100% rename killing spree to Backshot
Reminds me of the time when I convinced a friend to name his LoL account Backdoor Banger because he liked to backdoor ingame
What I'd pay to be a teenager again

It's a just-too-warm night for hanging out on the back patio so you throw a pizza in the oven, log into your computer, and open up steam and WoW to hang out with your friends. It's a school night but you don't care because you and your friends are having too much fun as the clock goes past midnight without you so much as batting an eye. The year is 2006 2026
XD
🙁
But to quote the saying fully: "Time flies when you're having fun."
So either I'm having fun or something else is wrong with me.
Nah you can pin this one on blizzard I'm not having fun in wow rn either

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If we play DS with 1100 haste do we become puzzle box gamers? 
I'm considering making the switch for birb and wind chime
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
How does trickers tricks of the trade lasting 1 hour work? It's just enabled? I don't see any buff or anything.
guidon should still be better
you need to transfer thread to have it last 1h
Use it on tank, hit something within 30 seconds, you redirect all threat for the next hour
Ty fren
so you get the 30 sec tricks, then when you attack a mob get the 1h buff
Thanks will check next pull, maybe it timed out before we started attacking then... was kinda sure it was on tho
It also resets on death
most of the time if anything you'll still rip from proximity aggro
@hazy breach massive bonus roll it already came with hole

Good afternoon everyone, which rogue spec is easier right now, Subtlety or Assassination?
now its time for skyreach cloak rolls
I need the dagger
I forgot how hard it is to get into keys as a dps, been playing tank all season
skyreach dagger is ok
I dont raid so I'm trying to find the best case scenario for gearing lol
That’s where ima be going as soon as I get the ring set
Rings would be the last items I bonus roll too, out of the entire table in npx 
my wife just needed Omission for her resto druid, took her 9 rolls to replace her champion one, we got a hero one for her the run right before she got the myth one
any tips on usagen / syncs with puzzle box? that cast time is also annoying -.-
feelsbad fr

took all 6 rolls for my dagger from SR, now i'm hoping I don't need to use all the rolls to get the ring from Nexus myself 😄
@hazy breach too ez
Absolute gamer
nicuu
Thanks, I see the buff now. Guess I was too late hitting.
👍
is there a bis gearlist for m+ only?
I think mostly everything is obtainable through M+ minus the trinkets. Puzzlebox and Solarflare or HoW is what im going after tbh
Hey guys, I don't understand this part... So do I use my second dance when Blades has 8 sec left, or when secret Technique has 2 sec to be ready so that I have my supercharge for it ?
i just dont really do much raiding and was wondering the best stuff overall in m+ to coin for
i have the raid trinkets tho
Can I bind guidon to detection to ensure guidon works
Idk the haste takes a second to update so
Isn't detection on the gcd
!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.
Yes that’s the point. I macro the trinket to detection and it takes a full second and then the haste will update properly for deepening shadows
I see
That's what I do. Strike onto boss and pop guidon at the same time, and just use the gcd from that to time it
actually had to hard carry saladbar reclear wtf
That makes more sense
Player (13) my goat
🫡
Feels like no one wants to swap to them : /
We wiped more to NK than beloren or alleria in our first full reclear this week 
like 5% if you got the gear for it i think
Yes
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Its pretty easy to get the gear for it now with uncapped crests
Is 1200 haste trickster op?
Just craft haste only items
Engi stuff?
easiest way to get it yeah
head/boots/bracers can be crafted with one single stat from engineering
which is a good way to get haste
The helmet requires engi, but the other pieces dont
So boots with 121 haste is pretty good
ooo baby
anyone knows why sometimes only 1 ST hits instead of the three hits?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/KzgY6FVcPZdrfM27/self?type=damage-done&fight=41%2C41&source=1%2C721&target=727%2C727&view=events&modal=fight-selection
is there some know bug that sectech have more cdr during blades? like it skip 2-3 sec at one point
Its when your guidon ends
It’s affected by lust and haste
maybe light guidon has not yet buffed its haste?
So gukdon lowers it
are you macroing it?
nah its between first and second sectech
It is guidon ending
When the guidon ends the cd updates
alright
Dinamically
It doesnt snapshot the cd when you cast sectech
The cooldown "ticks" faster based on your haste
!puzzlr
whats going on with deathstalker and canceling apex / any ds optimizations
how does it work
we dont cancel apex
is the Seat leg bis ?
pit or spire
it is decent but not bis
maybe crafted
i think subti talked about it a bit recently
@left ledge
doxxed 

Pit leg is the best one ?
deathstalker still uses guidon right
depends on what you want/need
@swift tinsel you time to alt gear is now. Champion Loot boxes for void light currency.
Good thing I’ve got 55k marl burning a hole in my pocket
55k??
Haptics really cornering the void marl market
was doing ds research and was curious if taking this talent means you play dances around sectech more now
or if not scing sectech still ok for ds
bc of wm bug
do not cancel apex if you want to play numerically optimally
dont need to apex non dance dn right?
ok ok
Shouldnt be that many outside dance DNs to begin with
ty
can happen if you get a lot of procs and/or during bl
do i wanna try and do gymnastics to hit the sc on sectech
no
or if its a good apex dn dance can i just go

yeah see
how long can i sit
before im doing something bad
you can sit a solid 5 sec probably idk you want to make sure you have 5sht stacks when you dance
ah ok
but its exactly that situation that makes me utilize a cancelaura
Its for backstab damage fwiw
im at 1 stack, full cp, proc apex
ye
how sensitive to sectech delay is ds
like do i want to line this up so i press sectech off cd
And it should be lining up pretty well anyway so you dont end up waiting much more than for the 5 sht
or if it sits pressable for 2-3s while i make sht is it gg
ok ok
if you have DN up, sectec up, dance up, you still want to DN before your sectec

how often do u uh
Do you guys Play Puzzle Box or Guidion in M+, I See a lot of the Best Players Play Guidion but Puzzle Box Sims better
ah ok
if they bugfix wm will u do non supercharger sectech more
your dances are like 9 sec long in cds
ic
10 gcds* ye
ty ty
oh yeah yeah
its 9.2-9.4 or w/e
so 10 gcds
honestly the most important thing is you apex your DN
outside of that its not too different from trickster

you're just entering low cp vs high
ty
I can't read "apex dn" without chuckling, what's wrong with me
you're in glee to hear about deathstalker because you like it so much
Ah, I thought it was something more childish but you're probably right
@left ledge
is this correct do i just slam strike
until the apex procs
for dn
or is this just getting scammed by 4 sht
Is it ideal to apex all the dance DNs? Or just the supercharged ones?
Both are super viable, and I think just comes down to preference? Puzzle also sims a little higher for me on big AoE, but guidon is much better in ST and a little behind in AoE. I use guidon because im too lazy for a trinket with a cast time
does hunt embelishment benefits from weapon upgrade?
yeah you will sometimes have to double strike
thats normal
pooling helps stop it
but it will happen
is what it is

ty
and for blades post opener does it usually go like
blades + dance 1 + sectech
dance 2 in blades
dance 3 post blades w sectech off cd
or is it not that way and u do the thing where u sectech latet into 2nd dance in blades and the sectech hits post blades
and its just opener thats special
ik u said u were sick so not sure if i can derive answer from lura log
hope u feel better btw

i sacreficed my time on a dead game isnt it enough
Im only bonus rolling lura
for what
neck
craft one
Yeah no
He is saving for the badlands rogue set

Why are u asking about rogue 
They’ve thrown infinite at me idk
im going to cover a few classes
one of them is yellow
i need to know how to be ethical boss damage no pad man
I didn’t hit BP at all on my Lura kill
i hit colapsing star alot
And I still played trickster

Kaboom
Army of the dead for me
Everytime I ask to play another class the officers say “Obi is our rogue”
Insane rogue ability
Obliterate!
this is what they said to me in previous tiers
but after the events of midnight season 1
the walls are breaking down
im choosing to believe in 12.1
I’m probably coming in on the unholy at some point in reclear though since all of our warrior mains want to not play dk
we have risen
from mushroom man?
I will be meleeman but probably not yellow meleeman
No rn
are they still random stats
I think it has to do with the 7% aura buff
in melee things casters still roll us a bit
But yknow
oh ok
Might even go enh and be a humble Skyfury purveyor to the meleemen
i will play every leather melee and then also dk probably
I gotta learn how to play frost
we love energy as a mechanic
Apart from paladins rogue is really good, at least it was last time i looked at the stats
I’m leaning havoc arms or possibly dk
Press the shiny buttons
I feel so brain bundled when I play frost in weekly keys
What's so special about warrior tho
obliterate
i wonder if i shave my head and put on a red blindfold if i can get an energy bar irl
Yell at your tank to exactly pull for 45s cds
And its really nice
ye that spec is banned in keys
but i think fdk is quite hard actually
Just play the raid build in keys and do boss damage
#fuckfrostbane
you just really need to be on the ball reacting to km
The random proc kms during pillar
ye but because erw is off gcd
you want to wait until your gcd is almost ready to press it then obli
or else you're overwriting km maybe
Its so funny that they give u another charge of ERW in CDs but thats where you can barely spend all your KMs
lol yeppers
io is an abomination and rime proc chance should be higher amen
It might be skill issue but i had windows where i could not even find a GCD to ERW beforw
Rime could def use some love
I also have no idea wtf Fwfdoes
Gives u pillar duration
apex big man
And fucks up the pulls bc it stuns forever
I maintain it should circle you like pack leader chimera thing and barrage
Instead of hellfire missile from you
i like sanlayn
I hit a normie deaths advance and thought I didn’t have it bound
go from thanos full ranged spec with rider mobility to wheelchair pure melee guy
Whiplash
udk is the biggest qol spec in the literal entire game
For real
And it’s not even remotely close
like mage with shimmer is maybe the only other spec that has that much control
Ddh?
They saw how popular ret is and went 'lets just do that even more'
ddh is misery bro
They’re insanely mobile but also not at the same time it’s weird
More range better mobility
u have to perma stick 3s+ casts
Abilities using other abilities for you
also udk unironically has more range than ddh
i can hit the elemental run out guy in algethar while my dh cant
how funny
I hope ddh goes “melee” build next tier
Clawing shadows is so dumb
Like cant have acro on rogue but thats fine
clawing shadows doesnt even do it anymore
Max range, spreads and pops disease, procs ghoul
scourge strike is just baseline 30yds
Oh its baseline now? Even better
Wasnt the spread on the other one
Wym
ddh can
it just is very tight
if u find exact max consume range the ring wont hit u
i can find a clip if u want
No its not on festering nvm
yes
Festering scythe used to spread festering wounds in aoe
Hye guys just killed vaelgor mythic and we're soon gonna go on paladins. I know sub sucks on it so should i consider swapping spec ?
Might be that you’re thinking of
Yeah sorry clawing shadows just makes it chain
This is what happens when you scale with haste instead of vers 
The most thanos of thanos specs
all the rogue specs kind of suck but assa or outlaw are marginally better yes
Its so weird that its so boring to play at the same time
Try unholy
Like you stack your ghouls and cant even spend them until you need to refresh festering scythe
You could literally play the spec with a 2 spell cast sequence macro
Sudden doom spender > Scourge strike > sudden doom spender
Hold that down and every 20s you have to press festering strike twice
And use your CDs i guess
I’d prefer if putrefy had scythes effect
And increased tick rate vs needing to cast festering strike and then scythe again
I wouldn’t mind that
Ye it’s just a more annoying plaguebringer or whatever the old buff was called
Imagine having A PROC that just sends full CP Coups
It also applies diseases in AoE and generates ghouls
Like imagine hitting evisc in execute and it starts firing off sectechs
And refreshes diseases
how do I craft just haste gear?
Engineering items, aetherlume
No thats boring
When your target is below 35% hp, casting eviscerate during shadow dance conjures akaari’s soul
My friend's guild raid on chimaerus has a totally well balanced comp
Thats my biggest gripe with UH DK, you basically play a little brother spec
Its like those talent builds where you'd take a dmg loss for an easier way to play the spec
But thats just the best way to play it
I just wanna feel something playing this spec
You can feel something. Sadness
Yo does someone here know the sweetspot for haste as sub? I know about 700 is fine, but I believe i read somewhere the actual sweetspot is 600-something
Sub? I think sub is a lot more fun than UH DK
585 if you live inside the server actually
800 if puzzlebox
686 must be what i read then, cheers
They’re kind of a horse apiece for me gameplay-wise, leave a fair bit to be desired
!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.
Yeah I'm gonna go for puzzle box starting next week, see if i like assa
What was cmd for spreadsheet?
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I meant haste spreadsheet
Assassination is arguably my least-favorite spec to play across any specs
i miss old shiv
do we really need 800 haste with puzzle box in m+?
!stats
fml i am already struggling with 700 and raidbots always gives me less
That's because the bot plays perfect.
because the robot isn’t a dad with three kids
i will stay just with guidon... the cast sucks anyways
it’s not that difficult to get 800 haste
idk why you’d want to play box if you have guidon
That’s messed up.
I've tried 800 haste with box. Still gonna use guidon with 700
Its either that or outlaw, but i dont think 1200 mastery is particularly good for outlaw
Bosses are the real bottleneck of m+ anyways. Everyone does tons of AoE already
my guidon is just from hc... and raidbots gave me biggest upgrade with box
How long should you wait after using guidon to let the effect kick in?
~1s
People act like the 1s cast of puzzlebox.
The one lost shadowstrike
is gamebreaking
I'm almost done
Aleria neck lura ring gg
gg
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
twin how we sim the same i have no alleria neck
better race? idk
im confused aboiut the apex talents ... so do we only want to use finishers when we have 5 stacks of shadow techniques period ?
dude i have 289 tier pants and it was like the sane to get good pants
no alleria neck life man i cant put anything on
lowkey i might need to send crafted neck
i gotta wear chud ring
since salad neck is so minimal gain
im wearing the salad neck mythico
heroic lura neck outsims mythic salad on for me
bro u cant sim u have to play legos
like my sim straight fiending for mast
700 hasta
maybe if i pull skyreach boots since ill lose haste wearing those
and im barely at haste bp rn
i also lack a hole on my belt 
took only one hole this season, wasted a vault taking a myth head then not even able to upgrade it due to crest debt
and getting a 3/6 in raid anyway
then proceeding to get a 4/6 with hole later
I got avoidance and socket on my helmet froma reroll on first boss today
Yeah i pulled a chest from a skyreach bonus which is annoying since i already have a max myth
but it had avoidance so yay?
Just gotta grab my guaranteed boots from skyreach and all I'll be missing is one ring for full myth track
anyone know if you can tweak the cdm tracked bars to show tenth of a second increments? trying to be more precise with shadow dance and it gets annoying just seeing it tick down in full seconds
i got npx rings in 4 bonus rolls
puzzyb in 3
we at 2 for skyreach so far, cloak and chest
I been sending into skyreach since decent stuff?
well cloak and boots are
dagger is ok lets you have a bit more haste to fiddle with
Voracius dagger doesnt drop
Literally had to roll skyreach down to 2 items to get a myth weapon
If we didnt have the rolls i might still be on crafted plus hc offhand
i have vora dagger
i just got nowhere really to send bonus rolls unless i want to hoard for windchime+alleria
Hey guys, can someone help me to understand why my SIM tell me to get more Mastery or Crit instead of Haste, when I have less than 600 Haste ?
Robot plays witb 0 ping and 50ms input delay on a dummy
This is for real the only reason ?
Cuz gap is really giga between haste and mastery idk
stat weights are badge
Well it's usually a good basic indication
No
weighs have been outdated since like bfa
!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.
The sim probably goes down to the nearest haste breakpoint, because you have less haste than recommended (700 for humans is like 650 for the computer)
The sim tech is to sim without oils
That's a good idea, I was about to ask if there was a way to set a minimum stat for haste you require the sim try and meet before allocating to other stats.
should i
send my rolls for nexus point rings
since ei have hero rings
or
save for alleria neck even though i already have mythic ring
hmmmm
alleria neck sims abt the same but issue is
we aren’t gonna reclear
Doesn’t that answer your question then?
Just cross fingers for Mythic Alleria drops from Vault
yeah that’s what im thinking too
i unlock loot pool after kill right?
so i can just kill first 4 in pugs for vault
Yep
Never thought about it, but guess it would make sense that you have to kill the boss on Mythic diff before Vault will start populating that bosses drops
So with 550 Haste, I should play haste flask instead of mastery ?
Even if the SIM say I would deal way more with Mast
It’s making your commit to mast because even with flask you do not hit the breakpoint
Breakpoint haste ? or mastery ?
Haste
If you’re at 550 haste then ye you’d play haste flask
exact 800 Haste 😄
Assuming you have guidon, otherwise you want 800
But 700 with Guidon right ?
Yes
yea
Ok so with flask I have a bit more than 700
w8 u are the brew monk ?
i know u did some runs with u
It’s okay to be over 700 by a lil bit
Just more leeway
But you don’t want to start going to like 720+ or so
But I still don't understand why the SIM tell me I will deal wayyyyy more dmg with Mastery flask so 🥲
wheni get the combo point refund from uh ... ancient arts do i spend the refunded points ? or use a builder again to get ancient arts again ?
The sim doesn’t need as much haste buffer
It plays perfectly with minimal delay
Which people can’t really achieve for the most part
Ye ok, I just can't accept it's the only reason for this huge gap idk, I'm just delusional 
Can you link the sim that says that?
Spend unless it’s a supercharged finisher and you don’t have the buff to proc clone
!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).
i still prefer puzzle box in m+
Pbox STINK
It’s a little tricky to model the haste breakpoint for sims bc you can’t make it aim for a certain haste value or range
i have both but i use puzzle box
But between crit and mastery you’re pretty fine with either with whatever gear achieves the 700/800 haste
Sim should most likely be saying go over haste is better than being under though
So the robot is helpful but won’t give an exact snapshot
Can be extra and manually add up your haste lol
Then fiddle with gems and swapping jewelry
But secondaries are pretty minimal beyond just getting appropriate haste values
Ye ok I see, will just tell my friend to go Haste flask and should be all good
Yeah whatever gets them to the right haste between flask, gems, and mana oil
Needs to be above 684 to fit the additional gcd into the rotation
Should set them up
too many warlocks here
Huh
if im running emberwing feather do i wait for every other shadowblades?
Yes, but i would recommend to run something else
The “is shadow dance up” implies that I am in shadow dance correct?
Yes
ty
so its better to send st without apex ?
it says i lost 200 dps replacing my 276 ring with a 285 crafted hmm
i call cap..
cause itll let me put more mastery elsewhere and gem..
Hi, does this work ?
#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Secret Technique
/use Light's Potential
or should i put the potion in first ? i've never used macros before
apex only buffs the physical part of sectech
potion first as it goes out before all of these casts making the st hit with potion buff
ty :)
do you guys have any advice on eternal voidsong chain? I know it can be hard to sim, I have a heroic version deciding on either crafting bracers or a neck
It’s that or puzzle box and sims say feather for aoe. Only other option I have is the passive haste proc trinket
Use the free void trinket
And use pbox
But puzzle box is same dilemma of do I hold 2nd shadow blades for it or sit on pbox till 3rd use. My other trinket is 298 prism so can’t decide on what the other slot should be cause it’s either 2min haste or pbox.
With potion of recklessness and pbox I will be way to farm into diminishing returns and that’s why I believe sims are telling me to use feather. Only middle ground is running my 285 wind charm with recklessness
Are you talking m+ or raid
Don't use feather.
M+
Pbox you do every 2nd use
Cast sblade off cooldown
You can do some minor minmax holding for big packs
But pbox is a 3min cd essentially
Damn so I sit on pbox that long?
!macro

/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
Heart of wind* was the other tpassive trinket option to run with prism
on crown - when should 2nd pot be timed
Yes
It sucks. Run the void trinket
Idk havent simmed in ages. Maybe 118k?
So I was farming pit legs and along the way I also got the neck from there as well, so I did some sims.
ST sims values it alot more than the crafted one (with haste/mastery) while the 3 and 5 target sims prefers the crafted one. No surprise there... BUT I did a dungeon slice run and both the pit neck and the crafted one worst than my current one... Thoughts?

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9iQ35avwcYgoWeVBYu2LWt (3 targets)
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ob1cE2bPmv9CEF4ZEBCFQg (5 targets)
the one time i die and its on the l'ura kill pull
REEEE
boss dead though im happy
dungeon slice is funny with the haste breakpoints
dog doesnt get soaked and literally only kills me
in the middle of the group
!stats
what should i do then? go for the mastery crafted one as it's overall better in more situation than the pit one? I don't lack haste. On the other hand sim is telling me to chug crit flask so mastery super high
im hitting #1 dps on the first add on crown but tapering off hard, waiting about 10s to send CDs, what can I do better to maintain on the 2nd and 3rd adds
Paladins as Sub is disgusting jesus
photos taken moments before disaster
Anybody got the priority potential + blades + dance + sec tec macro at hand? And does just writing /use light’s potential actually prioritise fleeting/higher ranks now again aswell? For some reason this stopped working a while back for me and Stealthi wrote me a blades + prio pot macro using the actual uhh.. Item.. Numbers?
I should prolly update mine, I been doing priority pot + blades and then dancetec macro but might make my life a bit easier if I start combining them all for blades
Just did some Sims for ST and AOE specs

Seems right based on what I currently have. Definately need to upgrade my Guidon. Next week is guaranteed. Of course it has to be the last item bonus rolled. 😮💨
I was parsing super high on prog, while being bottom dps, lmao
Wait with cooldowns until stacks are up on mini bosses
i heard
playing well basically the whole boss and killing on one of the few awful pulls is such a feelsbad
happy its dead though
getting obelisk'd over and over sucks so much lol
pog straight into dk for lura KEKW
do you still use the crafted weapon? or just 2 mythic ones
repeating myself for the 10th time i need to set up DS
Hey bro have you set up Nintendo DS
NOT YET I NEED TO SET THAT UP
!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).
Why do top logs use double evi if this is correct? Dont you you ancient arts then shadowstrike for a new aa ?
Imexile also doesnt sometimes does this sometimes he doesnt its making my brain hurt
Oh i get it if its there is a super charged combo. This is so that we dont waste empowerment on eviscerate instead of st or cdg
❌
So in my parses I see my secret techniques is really low compared to top parsers, any tips?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are you making sure to supercharge every sectec besides 2nd in blades
Yup
are you also lining up dances with add spawns on certain fights
it can also be a mast diff
That I could probably do better at
or sectec crits diff
Im grey parsing every fight for some reason
you can use the !log command to post a log for someone to review
Oh wow thanks
So I understand that if shadowdance is up , we have 5 or more shadow techniques , we have supercharged combo points and we don’t currently have ancient arts up after we get refunded we essentially go right into another builder for the second supercharged spender correct ? Then anything out of those conditions we spend the refunded combo points from from ancient arts ? … so in between shadow dances … do we backstab up to 5 stacks of shadow techniques ?or just spend normally without playing around the apex talents during that time ? I’m kinda confused :/
It sounds liek ur just overthinking it lol
If you have 5 shadow technique, sc, and are in dance, you press another builder before spending
If these 3 conditions aren't meant, you ignore this optimization
Ok
!log
bros i need someone to figure out the optimal way for sub rogue to play crawth
i try different things and they all feel the same and i cant do it anymore im tweaking out im losing it man
Is there any mechanic other than the balls in that fight
i mean cd timings
cuz like
if you send on pull you can get 3 cd sets in
but if you hold for burn you only get 2
the initial hit and the clones of stec hit all targets is that correct?
yes
so subs prio dmg is basicaly coup here and there and strike in low target cleave?
sectech hits harder on main target too
oh i see
lashe macabre also adds a decent little bit of prio
unseen blade also contributes a bit
our prio isnt crazy but its not the worst ever either
bunch of smaller effects that all add up
ye
!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.
Are you not doing fire second
generally second cd set comes up a little after 75% where everyone does wind, then with haste buff you push past 45% before cds come back up
ive been sending second cds with haste orb even though it feels mediocre
if i hold all the way for burn phase it'd take forever to get there and i wouldnt get to send again before fight ended
How much of an amp is it actually?
i had the same experience on unholy
idk u def cant be in sub 35% too long
feel like its a hold angle unless you can get the 3rd cd set in
if I step to the boss during intermission where do I end up? (assuming it doesn't kill me since I haven't tried it) cause I think we usually phase between circle and skull but getting to my spot takes forever
especially since I have to pass off my crystal to a tank via ping
circle is entrance for reference btw
75% i think
Pugged mythic imperator, said fuck it and sent my bonus rolls, actually got myth guidon. We up baby
working on 21 aa right now and 3:30 crawth would be insanely fast so 3 cd sets is pretty guaranteed
Ig that would be a bit more damage
reason i dont think its worth to hold is cuz the burn only lasts 12s of your 20s long cds
idk i need to play with a spec that can push 75 to 45 by itself with the haste buff lmao
Im so glad they made haste a good stat for sub rogue. Well done blizzard
I personally found the 40% haste buff stronger than waiting for fire on unholy 
just get one of those red guys
im sure there are plenty
i play most of my keys with destro lock and enh shaman

is it always so bad to get invited to myth chim
Pretty not great, yeah
You mean a raid buff?
Nah is not a raid buff. 
I thought it was 🤔
Clearly it’s not. Which is why DK is tuned high.
But I sure am glad that it's not mandatory on at least 2 fights a tier
That would kinda suck tbh
Imagine needing to bring a dps with a defensive raid buff on a healing check encounter. I could never. 
Same reason warlocks are also tuned high. Because they dont have a raid buff
Warlocks aren’t people.
💯
What's the best way to sim for Belo'ren mythic egg burn?
ok so life hates me and lights company wont drop for me so i am sitting around 749 haste i have vers haste boots and i can change a gem around to get 800 haste but the sim tells me dont what do yall think
!stats
ok so its just better to force the 800
Warlocks are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXX8URSUWm0

Rate my new blades macro
is stopcasting important
Stealthi added it and it fixed something somehow but I don't remember what or how exactly

Stopcasting puzzlebox 
Probably something to do with the potions
Yeah it was something weird going on for me when I tried to do the potion thing
good morning lovely people
Ello
Is shadow blades being before shadow dance important?
not really
my healer for some reason cant see the green HP bar over the crystals you have to heal on lura. does anyone know why?
At this rate we gonna be on single button assist soon
hardly anything to press on sub
Thanks!
dont worry people will break their head with new DS things
16 Xenas, man I was 200k+ overall before it became obvious pally and shammy were slacking interrupts on the light eles at the end
Criminal
Queued 2hours to try to get the last two i need for resi 17 yesterday, got into a key finally, start, go to first pack, wipe. Log off.
What a great evening i had boys
Bro it was so bad, he was looking away from the light ele casting while targetting me when I was at 20% hp, feint up, cloak cooldown, vanish cooldown

Mfw
Ugh
Just another day on World of Warcraft with no boosted accounts trust
is this box or guidon?
The qs are gradually getting more horrible
my tank is pulling too lightly for that kinda dmg sadly
Did my own PoS 17 tho and saw a poor sub rogue tag so i invited him as my good action of the day (i'm the mechagnome guess who i am)
My queues have always been terrible except maybe in legion and BfA when shroud was useful
The tank and healer were chads ngl but I wanted to finish that dungeon without dying or screw ups so bad bro it would've been the sickest meters yet for me
You're the priests' socks

Like i get declined on 288 full bis rogue 3.4 orange/purple logs from 10s. Dk insta invite 8 ilvels lower. ULTRAPOG.
Ngl high keys are ok for the 15-18 in rogue q wise, but the 10-12 q is hell now.
I tried to greed the last boss and shadowstep to avoid the freezing blast at the last second and it didn't work or i failed
Not sure why i wanted to try it in a 17
Legion rogue bis. Good luck timing 22+ dakheart with no tunnel skip, or blackrook with no start skip.
write something funny in the notes
All worked out tho only the hunter died
it works for me sometimes
I always write “dont be npc. Meta doesnt matter. I will top your meters, inv”
full myth track 3.4 and so on too, bro I get declined by 270 ilvl people daily, it's like they haven't realised yet that sub rogue isn't trash anymore kek
yeah thats probably why you get declined xD
I got declined for a 10 key earlier like excuse me
I usually write ''i'll report you for mechagnome discrimination ''
Works sometimes
So close to 3.6k rio 
Top 1% definitely doable
seen 4k yesterday in Q
no idea how ppl do it especially pugging on that lvl??
You stuck on hc rings as well? I feel for you brovits 🥲
I can hardly complete any 16s with a pug
When I do my own keys tho i tend to invite random classes i never see
Besides a sham
Always bring skyfury with you
think thats fine if you don't do super high ones
Friend of mine was list his +10 he got in second like 150 people with people they had 3,7k +
Tonight i ll do my MT18 and everything will be alright
Nah I just got full myth track today but no crests yet I was nightshifting
Its just a flex i think. I start seeing “relax” in +22 the past days. Like, my brother in christ, no way its relaxed if its pug and 22.
yeah u def want a sham
All you need is a sham
glad I have 2 in my group :3
Maybe if pug is only echo method liquid or fsy maybe 🫠😂
Even if they don't press buttons they just need to press BL and SF
😂
That's all I'm asking of them
Nah they say it's relax because it's resi and you'll do it for a few hours anyways
if you have 2 sham an a mage you probably get no BL because either thinks the other does it
May as well chill and not burn out
Yeah i get it, but doesnt feel “relaxed”🫠
16s are fine
17s are also okayish
18 you start seeing monkeys again tho
Mostly me i m the monkey
My guild name is monkey business and i'm here to do business
I had a tank that made the tiniest pulls ever in a 16s and i politely asked him to pull more bc no way we gonna time this
I wonder how ppl get to 3.3k+ with that kinda playstyle
My gf started her own guild, she's new, playing resto druid and we got a tank in it who is also new and I've been "coaching them", the guy said "we're like monkeys running after you everywhere and not understanding the simplest things"
And now it's our meme
