Got them from 0 key level to 10s done well if they understand the strats, if not, we brick tf out of the key and say nothing

upbeat cradle
#

A tank did that in a 10. A 10 and he was pulling each pack separately. He has 270ilvl

#

I started ninja pulling non stop and saying it was the lock pet

dusky yacht
upbeat cradle
#

The lock was like ''oh yea that's me sorry'' while laughing with me in dms

#

😂😂😂

dusky yacht
upbeat cradle
#

Timed it

dusky yacht
#

I mean I get it if they're new though but like holy

peak ice
#

I had a tank leave cause I kept pulling more

upbeat cradle
#

Then nobody wanted to do keys with me for a few weeks lol

peak ice
#

It was a 10 key 2 weeks ago

upbeat cradle
#

The warlock was nice tho

peak ice
#

We all mythed out

#

Pull the entire room bruh

upbeat cradle
#

Honestly very easy

#

Ilvl is so high that even if you pull pack by pack they die so fast

#

It's just that instead of +3 you get a +1 on the key

empty bobcat
#

yeah probably this

peak ice
#

Feel like if you don’t throw 10 deaths u can time shit easy even going slow

#

I did a WS 10 last week, took a mage and DH with 2k rio

#

They didn't know any mechanics

#

They got hit by every single fear on third boss

#

Saw the heal run after them to try to stack and they kept running away

#

In the end he gave up and came melee

#

2k rio and no knowledge of a dungeon

foggy estuary
upbeat cradle
#

In TWW 2k rio was decent. Midnight 3k rio and you can see things that'd give you nightmares

#

Heck even 3.5k

#

My fav was the 3.6kferal saying he couldn't dispel curses, only poisons

#

🌝

peak ice
#

That’s just a Druid thing

#

Just nothing up there

empty bobcat
#

we timed a 16 skyreach yesterday and I got blamed for 1 death at first boss from the druid healer and when he died at the wind platform even though hes a fkn cat I lol'd at him and then he stopped healing me at last boss kek

upbeat cradle
#

Top 1% is resi 19 right ?

gusty wharf
#

!log

peak ice
#

For the achievement?

#

Think so?

upbeat cradle
mighty citrus
#

with all the upgrades now how was the "rule about 700 haste with trinket again? do i need to have 700 flat or is it fine to count 32haste from oils so i just need 668 flat?

weary tree
#

Its not a hard cap

#

Its just a number that makes it achievable for us to get the extra gcds inside dance

#

The less you have the harder it is, the more the easier

#

So yes 668 with oils will do the trick too, but if you notice youre missing a gcd at the end then you might want to consider slightly moreh aste

upbeat cradle
#

And it's accounting oils

#

And flasks if you use those

mighty citrus
#

i see

#

cause sims ofc go lower haste, as it is a robot, so its quite tricky to find my optimal gear, as i have a few rings etc

weary tree
#

yep

mighty citrus
#

for example

weary tree
#

Just go to 700 haste and get mastery/crit

#

Dont really look at the top gear as much

livid frigate
#

Is there a max amount of crit i need

mighty citrus
#

in this sim it says take 1000 mastery and only 700 crit and still use mastery flask btw

weary tree
#

no

weary tree
upbeat cradle
#

Crit and mast are roughly equal with mastery being better for aoe and crit for st

mighty citrus
#

and i could change the ring with a crit heavy one, ending up below 800 mastery and 800 crit

weary tree
#

You can sim for crit vs mastery if you want

drifting ether
#

Finished gearing perfectly balanced?

weary tree
#

So long as you dont change haste values

#

Otherwise the sims wont be accurate

mighty citrus
#

i would rather keep it simple though

short radish
mighty citrus
#

dont make a masters degree out of it 😄

livid frigate
#

im at 796 haste and it feels so much better then having 700 haste

short radish
#

and acquire crit/mastery

drifting ether
#

It simmed similar to other stats

livid frigate
#

my crit is 546 and my mastery is 1090

short radish
weary tree

Then thats fine

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.

short radish
#

796 is fine though

#

but definitely dont go 795

mighty citrus
#

then this sims 1k below the other

#

but it has the 700 haste

#

900 crit, 800 mastery

livid frigate
mighty citrus
#

will use mastery flask

#

cool 😄

short radish
#

then you kinda want more mastery than crit anyway

weary tree
#

Haste is a pretty useless stat once you can get the desired gcds inside dance

#

That's why its a hard falloff in sims for a bot

livid frigate
short radish
#

attalad

#

stats dont matter past haste breakpoint

#

just press buttons

#

hahah some times i get flustered too many buttons to press lol

broken sail

anyone able to share some Raid ST talent build 😄

#

i mean vers is not BAD

#

it's just not AS good

#

still always useful tho

peak ice
#

Can i ask a non subtlety macro question in here

void ocean
#

yo guys, dagger can be recrafted after its been upgraded to 295, right?

upbeat cradle
#

no idea haven't tried but probably

void ocean
peak ice
#

nope was just the normal recraft costs

#

I assume ur sending it out max rank, idk what happens if you like, drop its quality level

wispy crystal
#

!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.

void ocean
#

aye, cool, tnx

ashen warren
#

For Belo’ren mythic egg phase I sim higher with puzzlebox than guidon, but why everybody is using guidon on this fight ?

#

I’m not a fan of puzzlebox but it’s just much more higher in sim

placid crown
#

I also generally sim better with box than guidon, at equivalent ilvl, whatever the duration of the fight

#

like ~0.3% better

#

and i'm almost full stuff (just need to change a hero ring into the mythic one)

open coyote
#

Can we macro sec tech info dance/blades?

#

Like
/cast blades
/Cast dance
/Cast sec tec

gusty wharf
formal marlin
#

hey, does our haste breakpoint get lower with 298 guidon?

gusty wharf
#

not sure if its ok though

open coyote
#

The 700~ haste is 7.5 sec per dance so you get 7 globals in

#

With guidon og goes to 8.9

#

So you would need a lot more haste to make guidon give you an extra global

formal marlin
#

but more haste from guidon we get longer shadow dance and shorter sectec cd no?

ashen warren
small sleet
#

haste does not change

open coyote
small sleet
#

700 haste means 8 globals in dance

#

outside of cds

formal marlin
#

ok understand

#

thanks guys

tribal blade
#

which means you can't use box on pull

small sleet
open coyote
#

You also dont want to stand afk during egg burn

ashen warren
#

Idc about logs, I just want to maximize my dmg during egg phase

tribal blade
#

then gate in

open coyote
#

Which then he would need to afk no?

small sleet
tribal blade
small sleet
#

you can precast puzzlebox

tribal blade
#

it's fine

open coyote
#

How low do you guys get belo during first egg?

tribal blade
#

all the dmg in non egg phases is kinda "pointless"

wheat edge
tribal blade
#

except dmg on adds is actually important

ashen warren
#

And casting it before gate I don’t like, I prefer to gate vanish shadowstrike and then pbox

open coyote
#

My guild just hit it and have had an evening of prog, so far our best is 36% i think

wheat edge
#

I played full cleave talents as assa yesterday on it garf

wheat edge
#

Egg was 29% after first burn anyways garf

ashen warren
wheat edge
weary tree
#

we pushing beloran at 1:30 now

tribal blade
#

i didn't get a full blades off at the end of the fight on our kill today

#

sad days

small sleet
#

we killed it the first time we made it through p2, and had like 20s left on 2nd burn or somethin

tribal blade
#

we killed it today finally, we got through P2 for the first time then killed it seeing 2nd egg phase for the first time

wheat edge
#

But it felt like the hardest part of the fight was p2 adds cause its a bit hecitc and they werent cleaved as well as in p1

tribal blade
#

it's super free

peak ice
#

p2 ads are defo the hardest bit

tribal blade
open coyote
#

Do you guys have sec tec macroed into your blade/dance macro?

ashen warren
#

Thanks for the feebacks I’ll warn my clan

peak ice
#

yep

open coyote
#

Alright ill start doing that then

#showtooltip Shadow Blades

tribal blade
#

beloren is not really a dps fight anymore

ashen warren
#

For the belo fight I have like three macro for dance/sec tec

tribal blade
#

it's a mechanics check

wheat edge
weary tree
#

beloren is just about how good can you deal with the balls

small sleet
#

imo its the worst fight in the raid now

#

its so insanely unsatisfying to kill

weary tree
#

its bugged so much

tribal blade
weary tree
#

annoying

tribal blade
#

now you're just running down the boss face first with 0 thought into what you're doing cds wise

wheat edge
#

Did feel better than killing crown tho cause we killed that 2nd pull after reset last week garf

#

Just fell over..

tribal blade
#

yeah i feel like they overnerfed crown too a bit

#

but my guild was still struggling to rekill it

#

so it's prob good nerfs

vale pine
#

easier is generally better

small sleet
#

i dont mind easier, its just really unsatisfying when dps optimization is completely thrown out the window

wheat edge
#

Yeah im just sad that p2/p3 are the fun parts of crown and it just is weirdly anti-climactic now

tribal blade
#

it was really cool looking into beloren and seeing how to optimize egg dmg

wheat edge
#

I wanted the feeling of killing it as the platform was closing in..

tribal blade
#

now it's just unga bunga

open coyote
#

Crown was a struggle for us because we kept missing the adds with obelisks

reef walrus
tribal blade
reef walrus
#

was extremely unsatisfying

small sleet
#

lmao

open coyote
#

Because people still (100 pulls in) cant bait the obelisk positioning

#

But personally i felt it was a cool fight

tribal blade
#

they royally fucked it for melee

open coyote
#

I guess that may just be because of the level ny guild is at

tribal blade
#

they should have nerfed the fight to make it better for melee

#

story of this entire tier

#

except maybe lura

open coyote
#

Only annoying part is droplets in p1 i feel like the rest of the mechanics are cool

#

Droplets as in the floor shit they drop after dying

tribal blade
#

yeah they should have nerfed the puddle debuff so it was much more likely to go on the adds

#

if not not able to go on melee

lofty sun
#

So is there much difference between guidon and feather?

tribal blade
open coyote
lofty sun
#

ah that is fair, no prob, thanks lol

open coyote
#

So feather is either on pull and at 3 min with 3rd blades

#

Or on pull and at 2 min with 2nd bladed

lofty sun
#

I don't do much of any raiding, only reason why I asked, I currently have puzzle and feather lol

tribal blade
#

use puzzle

open coyote
#

In that case i would use puzzle on pull and on 3

lofty sun
#

Yeah that's what I have been doing

open coyote
#

Btw do you guys save pot on salhadar for damage amp or just on pull with lust

halcyon star
#

I see 2 bis list, one has nxp rings and the other doesnt. Is the nxp ring set bonus decent?

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

so if you can accomodate that set with your other gear stats wise

#

it's good

halcyon star
#

Great thanks!

drifting ether
halcyon star
#

Sorry, one last question. Mythic Beloren is a long way off for my guild, should I go for the dagger off Vor or dagger from Skyreach for my mythic dagger until then?

hazy breach
#

Either

#

Whatever you have thats the highest ilvl

void ocean
#

is tier token also available for bonus roll?

#

for raid bosses

hazy breach
#

Yes

void ocean
#

damn

#

so 30% chance for Gaze xD

#

well 33% + w/e is the chance to drop and me highroll it

peak ice
earnest crane
peak ice
#

And the pool is similar

halcyon star
void ocean
#

so 3 items left in the pool, hence 33%

earnest crane
void ocean
#

haha fu

#

i know i will but still, fu 😄

earnest crane
#

😄

void ocean
#

i mean i have 285 gaze so its not gonna be some super huge upgrade anyway

earnest crane
#

it is

#

285>>>298

void ocean
#

its like ~700 dps prolly

#

tho im still not fully attuned to these new numbers

#

my brain still operates in millions

earnest crane
#

700 of anything is alot even chopsticks

void ocean
#

its fine

earnest crane
#

u are not gonna get it

void ocean
#

now u r just increasing my chances 😄

earnest crane
#

yea 😄

#

guys is it me only or u dont feel much buff with aug too?

small sleet
#

i think aug is pretty noticeable

foggy thorn
small sleet
#

aug gives main stat, we scale fine with main stat lol

earnest crane
#

i m doing pretty much the same dmg its more than usuall but not huge

somber sun
foggy thorn
#

All keys with Aug was Not intime 🥲

earnest crane
#

i ve done 204k overall in MT 19 without aug with aug on 18 it was 212

#

we had 3 min extra on the 19 but in 18 we were so behind

#

i dont know how aug works maybe its their gamplay problem

small sleet
#

you can see augs effect in pure single target pretty easily

marble sail
#

!ss

wicked joltBOT
foggy thorn
hazy breach
small sleet
hazy breach
#

But that's not "sub is bad with Aug"

foggy thorn
#

Ok ok

earnest crane
#

if i dont gain as much as warlock with Aug its bad 😄

hazy breach
#

There's no difference in "how much classes gain" from aug

small sleet
#

everyone gets the same amount of main stat lol

earnest crane
#

yea but the stat scale is diffrent from each other

hazy breach
#

No

small sleet
#

in most logs im looking at, i do around 30% more damage while i have an aug in my group

#

which is very sizeable

small sleet
earnest crane
#

on my xp everytime with aug i felt less pressure on mechanics but more pressure on timer

small sleet
#

also depends on if the aug is actually playing well or not

hazy breach
#

Aug is just another dps spec

earnest crane
#

and its hard to know if he plays good or not

#

maybe its for me only

#

but i cant understand it

how much single target do we gain from funnel? i know its nothing gamechanging but it definitely feels nice to be able to shuriken storm for full combo points

Hahaha ty teacher

keen steppe
#

Would be a better comp for sub monk shaman devourer rogue + druid? Bcs of phys buff from monk and magic from dev?

youd prefer warrior buff over dh or monk buff

Why i forget the warrior

how

marble sail
#

i did a top gear with the alleria neck, recrafts and rings and i gained like 500

#

idk how its possible to reach 130k

small sleet
#

the 130k sim has vantus on

#

the 130k sim also has the prepull supercharger combo points added in i beileve

#

if you took your sim, changed yourself to panda, added in vantus and supercharged combo points, you'd be quite a bit closer to the 130k number

marble sail
#

yeah okay i had no idea about that stuff

tribal blade
drifting ether

#

but i don't give a fuck lol

i'm just happy it's dead

I died to p3 explosion

But im pretty happy we got em killed

lura stinks

drifting ether
tall girder
#

we havent got passed kicks yet

tribal blade
small sleet

wtf

#

with proper prep, you should wipe once or twice to kicks before everyone has it down consistently

tall girder
#

we didnt think we would kill belo tn

#

so no one prepped lura

drifting ether
#

I thought we would but not that fast hahahah

small sleet
#

o LOL

tribal blade
#

oh that's different

#

you've been on it barely 1 night

tall girder
#

we have had like 4 pulls HAHAHA

tribal blade
#

we didn't even go for lura after killing belo, just went to rekill crown and then do a group sesh setting up addons

drifting ether
#

My first ce is coming lads

tall girder
#

u already got 2

Reldo at least u have a team

tribal blade

and then the adrenaline and dopmine you get from finally timing a key

#

goes off the charts

#

or i should say getting IO

small sleet
#

like half my io keys rn are timed without my team though lmao

tribal blade
#

double tragic

#

i miss having a team, it was so chill pushing keys

#

never sitting in lfg

#

never any confusion about route

drifting ether
#

Since i started doing some keys i somehow made a team so i can play rogue hahaha

#

Even when I’m with my title friends we don’t really have a subtlety comp and we don’t have a shaman at all

drifting ether
tall girder
#

u jam enough pug keys and eventually start getting people who consistently sign up

#

then u bnet them and move on

#

thats how i made my team aside from fj and zuzap

small sleet
#

i just push with guildies

tribal blade
#

i actually very rarely add people to my bnet, i let them add me

tall girder
#

thats what happened to me

small sleet
#

but i know my guild has a disproportionate amount of high m+ players

tall girder
#

i got alot of bnets

tribal blade
#

so then whenever someone on my bnet doesn't take me to a key

#

it's even more confusing

#

i have a bunch of people in this channel on my bnet

tall girder
#

can i have u on bnet

tribal blade
#

SURE

For those short on myth crests, like myself.. With the cap gone, am I assuming correctly that farming ritual sites and converting the hero crests is faster than doing +12s?

#

Or reliably close at least

alpine wraith
#

depends how fast are you

#

skyreach can be like 14 mins or so

#

but you also need to find a group etc

#

I posted this earlier but didn't get a clear answer so trying again.
I was farming pit legs and in the process got the pit neck. I ran a couple of sims and it says ST the pit neck is better but the crafted one with haste mastery is better for multiple targets, whiles the hero track pvp neck is better for dungeon slice...
What should I do? Commit to the pit neck and maybe change flask from crit to mastery (sim tells me to drink crit rn) or just go crafted neck since there's not a whole lot of ST fights?
Can post Sims again if necessary

hazy breach
#

I dont understand the question

lilac stag
#

Same as always. Get 700/800 haste. Favor mastery for m+

hazy breach
#

What do you mean "commit"? You already have the neck?

#

You already have the answer laid out for you, the crit one for more ST and the mastery one for more aoe

torpid echo
#

yes, but I don't have the crafted one and was wondering if I could get away without crafting it xD

#

but I guess I could stop being lazy and get both LOL

lilac stag
#

if you craft, the pit neck cost 20 crests to upgrade.

torpid echo
upbeat cradle
#

oh if i craft both engineer boots and bracers with haste i can get 1100

#

maybe i'll try to get them done for my raid tomorrow

drifting ether
#

If you use the pit neck you can get mastery from somewhere else

instead of making them with mastery

Excuse my ignorance, for mythic dragons is it better to just shadow strike instead of storm during dance windows ( except when adds spawn ) ?

#

storm if more than 3

hallow matrix
#

Is it not 3 or more?

small sleet
#

You still shadowstrike at 3 targets in dance

Just got a 95 on Mythic vanguards using storm when 3 targets

sly shore
somber sun
#

just crafted mythic ring

#

until I get rolls for all npx loot

swift tinsel
#

so close to being done with crests

timid rose
#

yeah i crafted 285 pants until i can go roll in the pit 😄

#

i think my next 3 weeks are just going to be taking sockets

swift tinsel
#

same

somber sun
#

yeah full socket gear looks wow

swift tinsel
#

they're annoyingly good this season

timid rose
#

not sure if my raid group is going to bother with doing the 12.0.7 raid on myth

sly shore
#

why wouldn't they

#

it's as easy as chimaerus

#

if not easier

#

and it's 15-25 players

west arch
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

we'll probably do it once on hc/myth

sly shore
#

it's free 298 gear

timid rose
sly shore
#

so you don't raid mythic anyway then

timid rose
#

we do not.

sly shore
#

makes more sense now then that you won't be doing it on mythic haha

swift tinsel
#

interest is already waning hard for us

#

but will wait and see what people think come august

sly shore
#

this is the most interested most people have been in a hot minute for us CAUGHT

#

we love raiding batchest

timid rose
#

Most of my group is just happy to hit AOTC and then go smash keys

swift tinsel
#

we're just starting myth dragons tonight

sly shore
#

we are doing 2 runs monkaSHAKE

timid rose
#

we only raid 3 hours a week

swift tinsel
#

different strokes for different guilds

sly shore
#

we do 8 hours (2 days)

timid rose
#

and that already feels like a bit much 😄

swift tinsel
#

4 hrs per week here

#

2hrs/2 days

sly shore
#

we did 8/9 and 5/9 in a night last week

#

and mostly because we spent 1.5hrs on paladins on the alts only raid

swift tinsel
#

mostly a dad guild

sly shore
#

our average age is like 30

swift tinsel
#

we're mostly mid-late 30's

timid rose
#

yeah i think the average age of my raid group is mid 40s

swift tinsel
#

couple of late 20's and a younger guy

sly shore
#

When it comes down to it, it's mostly about the effort that people put in irregardless of age

swift tinsel
#

well ye

#

that's the dad moniker

timid rose
#

i'm an old man lol

sly shore
#

I'm half way to 40

trim quarry
#

which dungeons should we use wound poison

swift tinsel
#

not necessarily age but time commitment

sly shore
#

if no one else has heal reduction in their kit

upbeat cradle
#

MT

#

can use it too

#

on the big ones that deal AoE while healing themselves

#

otherwise you can just ignore it

uncut monolith
#

What consumable creates buff Sharpened VII? Is it Refulgent whetstone?

hazy breach
#

Adamantite sharpening stone

uncut monolith
#

Its tbc no? U can use it?

hazy breach
#

Yes

tribal blade
#

wonder when they're gonna fix that

swift tinsel
#

was just gonna say, surprised that hasn't been fixed yet

#

considering they mdi ban people for less

uncut monolith
#

Wow my logs gonna be blue again.

hazy breach
#

Its only been like 5 months

#

Cant expect them to fix things that fast

tribal blade
#

lol true

#

also it's not super egregious

swift tinsel
#

lol probably waiting for next season to see if its still better

#

or they genuinely don't care

tribal blade
#

if it gave significantly more dps blizz would prob know about it and fix it by now

swift tinsel
#

ye

timid rose
#

Claude hasn't approved it for a fix yet

swift tinsel
#

minor enough that its 'quirky'

#

hoping for s2 info in the next couple weeks

sullen shell

speaking of that if anyone can give this a like/comment to get it more traction would be huge https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/rogue-needs-to-bring-a-real-raid-buff/2304579

World of Warcraft Forums

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

keen steppe
tribal blade
#

you're right i should have written 3 time HoF raider too

#

damn

keen steppe
#

Sounds better but even that would not be enough

tribal blade
#

i am a smol lil rogue begging for scraps from the master

keen steppe
#

Give us crit buff back

tribal blade
reef canopy
#

Anyone have a good EnhancedQoL profile for rogue?

swift tinsel
#

nah we're 'good enough' without a raid buff to warrant getting one

#

would be pleasantly surprised, but blizz's probably already forgotten rogue was sat for 3 of the last 4 bosses

reef walrus
sly shore
#

as in, energy and combo points

#

it's really easy to setup yourself though

lilac stag
#

Dimensius was a lifetime ago. dead

reef walrus
#

he still counts as one of the 4 last bosses though!

sly shore
#

idk rogue was also fucking cracked on that fight

#

for prog

#

for like 2 weeks

somber sun
#

did it get nerf after the 2 weeks ? pepelaugh

#

or people figured out how to play their new specs

sly shore
#

timings changed which meant 1.5m wasn't as good

lilac stag
#

They could have ran the entire RWF without a rogue.

#

here’s your dagger boss.

sage pond
#

TIL swapping from human to panda was 800 dps for me lol

reef walrus
#

but damage kept increasing so you had to start holding cooldowns and skip uses

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.

my last kills I think I just danced once or maybe twice on the second platform and just sat on blades for a minute

#

very fun

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

grip good
atrophic mid

warm marlin
#

oh u were referring to dimensius

#

idk we held cds for a long time anyway

reef walrus
warm marlin
#

sub was still insane on that fight when I killed it

lilac stag
#

they also don’t have any m+ utility

warm marlin
#

i think watching even wr500 guilds they were still holding for timings

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

certainly wasnt only the first 2 weeks

reef walrus
lilac stag
#

also very bad mobility. kekw

abstract vapor
#

How much should I really hold finishers until 5+ shadow tech stacks in m+? I assume no on trash, but maybe ST bosses?

reef walrus
alpine wraith
#

dont worry guys we were very good in mother shahraz!

sly shore
#

idk where you got that from

alpine wraith
#

totally not living in the past

sly shore
#

you play around how many stacks you have at the time under very specific conditions

#

but not waiting

alpine wraith
#

and hey even on kael thas they needed someone to take the mc off!

sly shore
reef walrus
alpine wraith
#

maybe he got confused with DS min maxes

#

in m+ we play trickster

sly shore
#

seems so

ripe flame
#

Did you know laura on p4 has melee range and that you just can't hit wherever? Well I didn't garf had a tragic first kill

sly shore
#

yes

alpine wraith
#

you ran into some mobs eh

#

that is the rite of passage of p4

abstract vapor
# sly shore seems so

Sorry referring to this portion of rotation

Try to not finish a few seconds before you're gonna enter Shadow Dance to save up some extra Shadow Techniques stacks.

warm marlin
sly shore
#

a few seconds is like 3s

#

so just don't spend before you dance

#

that's all

#

you're not holding for a specific amount of stacks

#

just dance when you should

shut dawn
#

is there a general guideline re: pots? my ST sim wants reckless abandon but M+ sim wants recklessness... ive just been use light's potential

sly shore
shut dawn
#

ok thx

warm marlin
ripe flame
#

At least it died but fuck

#

Was on track for a banger parse

hazy breach
#

Ye reckless abandon is not the play, even though it sims higher, because the sim doesnt take into account the silence pools it spawns garf_sit

sly shore
#

that silence pool is so hilariously toxic

#

using that shit in beta was a joke

alpine wraith
#

it still can be so funny

#

i use it sometimes in m+

hazy breach
#

And at this point if you have some decent gear its fine (ie within margin) to use recklessness even on ST, as long as you dont get haste from it

somber sun
#

soft inting runs LO

swift tinsel
#

and exile said he should have been sat for another unholy dk

#

so realistically 4/4

reef walrus
#

oh you mean the final 4 bosses in this tier

#

that was not how I read that at all, sorry

warm marlin
#

in on chim and vorasius and then sat until beloren (resat because "sub didnt have enough burst") then in on lura (should have played another dk instead)

reef walrus
#

yeah I mean rogue was just not in a good spot at the start of this tier

swift tinsel
#

its good damage now, but that doesn't address the core issue

#

being the raid buff situation

fair stump
#

wdym atrophic poison is a fantastic raid buff /s

crystal bone
#

when it works

warm marlin
reef walrus
#

they should bring back atrophic poison stacking

#

and make it additive instead of multiplicative this time!

sullen hare
#

You can always put your thoughts in this forum post that blizzard will completely ignore definitely is monitoring

swift tinsel
#

for both raid and m+, dps-increasing buff > atro

lilac stag
#

we’re a dps spec. idgaf about dmg reduction as raid utility (nor does anyone else)

swift tinsel
#

exactly

timid rose
#

i want my presence to help everybody master their class better... and maybe encourage other melee to hit more often... perhaps call it Sky Flurry.

swift tinsel
#

to go from having a raid buff that was crit to a damage reduction is just weird

timid rose
#

as a former feral main, when they too lotp away it felt so bad, why is there no crit chance buff anymore

swift tinsel
#

idk its odd

#

no crit or haste raid buff

#

meanwhile sham gets mastery and auto attack proc

fair stump
#

Rogue used to give crit as a raid buff, didn't we?

swift tinsel
#

yes

sullen hare
#

Yeah in like wod lol

left ledge
#

SWIFTBLADE'S CUNNING

reef walrus
#

my non meme suggestion for raid buffs would be to just have extra availability of all existing damage buffs (and maybe reduce the amount of buffs), so just give rogue a 3% magic damage taken debuff or something as well

left ledge
#

it was attack speed

#

i dont think it was crit

#

but maybe im wrong

reef walrus
#

and then add some very small (smaller than atrophic) damage reductions or utility to every class

#

give dk's horn of winter as an alternative for battle shout for example

celest spruce
#

there should be a way to sim in raidbots with the requirement of having at least 700 haste 😛

#

its so annoying having to fiddle around and do some guess work

swift tinsel
timid rose
random mason
swift tinsel
#

oddly enough Swiftblade's gave haste too

#

and multistrike

#

so we had both the missing secondary buffs at one point lol

#

now no one gets either

celest spruce
graceful rock
#

DKs get haste next tier, we get crit easy

swift tinsel
#

dk gets nothing

reef walrus
#

sub giving a haste % buff right now would be a pretty cruel joke though

swift tinsel
#

they've been babied too long

graceful rock
#

True

swift tinsel
random mason
graceful rock
#

But having enforced grips on every fight is gonna get old real fast

random mason
#

But from me simming crit vs mastery rings its the same

swift tinsel
#

if they give dk a legitimate traditional raid buff they'd need to prune some of their ridiculous utility

random mason
#

All i do is run crit flask for raid apart from Dragons and Vanguard(when i get there) and mastery everywhere else

swift tinsel
#

am I better off just tunneling boss on dragons, assuming ranged is awake for adds

lean arrow
#

Is Sub much easier to play now?

swift tinsel
#

we're starting mythic tonight

lean arrow
#

or i mean how much easier is it to play now?

swift tinsel
lean arrow
timid rose
#

if i can do sub now, it's def easy enough 🙂

swift tinsel
#

pretty much all specs got simplified across the board going into midnight, sub is definitely one that was simplified more than others

#

by virute of being perceived as more complicated than a lot of others pre-midnight reworks

sullen hare
#

Sub got its complexity taken out back and made to suck downa shotgun

swift tinsel
#

I miss being an all-in on burst spec

timid rose
#

i feel like WW got more complex, or something about it I just didn't like the change of from TWW, which is why i was fishing around for a new main this season

swift tinsel

Combat was combat and didnt provide a debuff.

#

good old days when blizz did not hate us

loud wharf
#

No idea where we lost our group buff/debuffs but not having fuck all now except DR poison feels SO bad

swift tinsel
#

yep

#

iirc sub lost hat crit from cata to mop

sharp lake
#

Is there a reason that Shiv doesn’t apply a concentrated Atrophic Poison?

loud wharf
#

< Coming from classic to retail. Retail is omega fun probably wont go back. But Cata Rogue was

#

Sub was a lil chalked, but still fun to play.

abstract vapor
#

should i use voidcore on crafted offhand too?

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

should eventually have all four slots voidcore'd

timid rose
sullen hare
#

Well yes but off hand is at the very end

abstract vapor
#

thanks

lilac stag
#

Guidon is actually lower. They’re very close.

swift tinsel
#

should update the pin then

lilac stag
#

I don’t run the pins

#

you can also just simself

timid rose
#

it was within a margin of error guidon vs offhand with guidon being slightly higher for me when I did it

lilac stag
#

none of it really matters

timid rose
#

that's 230 gold you have sitting there 😄

lilac stag
#

Maybe I get 1H for dw frost

left ledge
#

you would just have 2-3 rogues rotating shivs with atrophic

#

permanently

#

wouldnt be fun

obsidian dome
#

for puzzle box, assuming m+ pulls, in stealth. Do you A: shadowstrike, cast puzzle or do you B: cast puzzlebox, restealth(if possible/if not shadowstep) shadowstrike?

like another week of rolling in AA and i should have the ring

I have a question: I have the mythic Vorasius dagger, the mythic Pit dagger, and the mythic Celestial Reach dagger. Which one do you recommend spending to get 298?

warm marlin
random mason
warm marlin
#

that spec does randomly get stacked every few tiers huh

lucid jackal
#

I can't tell if its because I'm shit

#

But like

random mason
lucid jackal
#

You just kinda press buttons

#

Its fun

#

U just freeflow everything

swift tinsel
#

nah that's ww

#

as long as you don't press the same one twice

#

you're vibin

warm marlin
#

idk wasnt it perma channeling fists as of recent

swift tinsel
#

it has a really nice flow minus the long FoF channel

random mason
#

hmm might try that as a dps/tank alt

swift tinsel
#

ye that's still a thing

lucid jackal
#

FOF is literally all of ur damage

#

and its like a sub 15 second cooldown

#

so I mean

#

If you hate killing spree

swift tinsel
#

ye true its very ks-esque that way

lucid jackal
#

Imagine if KS did damage, but it was literally all of your damage

#

thats what WW is

#

This is my overall

#

Flurry strikes is also FOF btw

warm marlin
#

better than double aoe tod

swift tinsel
#

FFG was so annoying I hated it

#

my wish is for bigger rsk aoe stuff

random mason
#

monk plays literally the same build in M+ and raid HOLY

swift tinsel
#

over fof

shrewd lantern
#

i mean so does sub

swift tinsel
#

like I want Skyfire Heel to be what nimble was

shrewd lantern
#

swapping a finality pt for pp is barely a change

random mason
swift tinsel
#

big banger cleave

random mason
#

it's very different

winged shore
#

I’ve been alting stormbringer enh shaman. Nice change of pace from sub since it is so reactive. Very fun right now imo and damage in keys is good. Hitting 160-170 overall in ~14’s

lucid jackal
#

But yeah idk

#

If u dont hate FOF, ww is fun'

swift tinsel
#

if they clipped like 1.5sec off the usual channel duration I'd be a big fan

shrewd lantern
#

is zenith stomp like

#

a non dogshit version of the nf ability

swift tinsel
#

bc the rest of the gameplay is really fun

#

no

#

it used to be

lucid jackal
#

I mean WW would need like a massive energy fix then if FOF was a lower channel

swift tinsel
#

but now its just a button you press during zenith that does a stomp

lucid jackal
#

Ud be more AFK than you already are sometimes

shrewd lantern
#

long fof channels are cool

#

swap the spotify playlist

#

mid channel

swift tinsel
#

I think that'd be fine, to give a bit higher energy regen or lower tp cost a lil bit

shrewd lantern
#

The only good monk cov ability

#

that didnt make it to the main tree

#

was weapons of order

lucid jackal
#

but yeah

#

WW is fun

#

its also randomly broken and doesn't get nerfed

#

And our entire guild has like, 1 WW player, who also is a ranged DPS main so we'd rather he stays the broken position yk

shrewd lantern
#

i feel ww was ignored for so long

#

that community forgets

#

it can be good

lucid jackal
#

I also just want to say, the more I play other classes the more I realize rogue players need to get a fucking grip

#

Bro

#

You can't kick, or use any defensive during FOF

#

and FOF is literally your entire DPS

#

At least if you cancel KS its doing 2 damage

shrewd lantern
#

I would agree if dk didnt exist though

lucid jackal
#

Like bro

shrewd lantern
#

dk is kind of

lucid jackal
#

And also, WW IS FUCKING PAPER

#

BRO I HAVE KARMA AND BREW AND THATS IT

#

Rogue players saying shit like "Vial is so bad"

#

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

shrewd lantern
#

i mean sub is pretty tanky as long as you forget

#

dk exists

swift tinsel
#

I mean sub can be tanky at the same time that dk is

shrewd lantern
#

enhance is also like that

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

just not as tanky bc nothing is

shrewd lantern
#

"oh i actually cant stand in shit"

#

If it wasn't a 0 melee tier then WW would be god

#

IT was probs the best DPS on beloren for melee DPS anyway

#

But who had a WW preped lol

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

Imagine playing melee

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah i mean rogue's biggest downside is conventionally

#

You're playing a melee

#

with a non mandatory buff

#

That's really it

lucid jackal
#

I mean not conventionally

#

Melee has been stronger than ranged for like 6 years

#

This is the first time melee has been this bad

warm marlin
lucid jackal
lilac stag
#

this was the first tier in awhile where melee was really fucked at times

warm marlin
#

yes

lucid jackal
#

Which lke, maybe 1% of sub players knew

warm marlin
#

even if you didnt having an immune and being able to do all the soaks is nice

#

even if ww was still a bit higher damage

lucid jackal
#

Yeah thats probs true

warm marlin
#

i learned this on our reclear this week

#

when they made me do it

shrewd lantern
#

anti mechanic shell

lilac stag
#

i need a redrogue pov from your reclear

shrewd lantern
#

is a hell of a button

lilac stag
#

i may actually be in on DK lol

warm marlin
#

but im just tankier

lilac stag
#

which is what i'll be

shrewd lantern
#

did you not do balls

#

on rogue

#

or can you ams horse through multiple on dk

warm marlin
#

oh ye i did do that

#

hm

#

i was afraid it would break my ams and im saving it for soaks

#

i didnt look at the timers too closely

shrewd lantern
#

just tank it with ibf lich

warm marlin
#

idk or we can just soaks the orbs

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

#

Always some pepega that dies if you dont have immunes mass clear

warm marlin
#

someone dies during convergence

#

oh well

#

egg has 20 more seconds than prog and we have 10 more ilvl anyway

#

nbd

shrewd lantern
#

mostly meant the post egg groups

warm marlin
#

ye the one right after first egg

#

thats the one i cloak

shrewd lantern
#

yeah ig you cant do that on dk

#

dont think ams holds up

warm marlin
#

convergence + orb will break it surely

#

either we game or we lose 1-2 people

solemn patrol
warm marlin
#

egg will mega die anyway

shrewd lantern
#

I think people got overly used to immune clears

#

that they die without it

lucid jackal
#

Having 2 charges of ur CD is fun tho

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

best we can do is preparation

#

this is making me want to gear my ww now lol

lucid jackal
#

gearing mega fast

swift tinsel
#

I have plenty of warbound gear in vault plus champ gamble from marl
