i spent so much time in there chasing that stupid tank trinket when i mained brew in SL

wheat edge
#

now that would go crazy style

#

pull the entire graveyard and the pyramid staircase in one

plush roost
#

That would be the very first classic dungeon

graceful osprey
#

Zul everything M+

plush roost
#

I doubt

#

But would be cool

wheat edge
#

Deadmines or stratholme when!!

lilac stag
#

anyone actually looking forward to any of the midnight s2 dungeons? OMEGAKEKW

hazy breach
plush roost
wheat edge
#

with Pit being as much of a banger as it was, I bet theres gonna be a classic dungeon within 2 patches

plush roost
#

I also think den of narolakk will be better than people expevt

lilac stag
#

idk

wheat edge
#

I like the theme of murder row but idk how it will play

#

it also felt a bit laggy as its in silvermoon kekw

plush roost
#

Also voidscar arena

graceful osprey
#

I’d be interested to see what they add to classic dungeons for M+

lilac stag
#

which one has the gazillion trash packs

plush roost
#

Seems fun

#

Murdrr row

graceful osprey
#

BRD M+

lilac stag
#

I’m just planning rogue exit (unless we bring a useful buff). kekdog

timid rose
#

my monk is currently geared, we'll see what s2 brings

wheat edge
#

I also think some TBC dungeons could be made into m+

#

Hellfire ramparts 7min speedrun key PepeRun

What don’t you like with FB?

timid rose
#

oh, i loaded into unholy

wheat edge
#

I like thinking about 2 buttons, a 3rd is too much !

earnest crane
#

is it still big ?

lilac stag
#

UH is meta. Frost is really fucking good. Like devourer vs havoc

wheat edge
#

(I mainly hate having to go to ebon hold and swapping rune enchant)

lilac stag
timid rose
#

i mostly hate being in plate 😄

hushed roost
#

im having to play lura as dk too

lilac stag
#

You can mog around that

hushed roost
#

frost is okay, unholy just feels safer imo

#

better ranged, get to play rider etc

timid rose
#

ok, well i more mean i equate plate to slow 🙂

lilac stag
#

Unholy is range and not doing dumb shit for uptime

timid rose
#

no shadowstep... no roll... how do you get around?!

hushed roost

#

Hmm. Thought I had that. Need purple for the voidelf

#

Frost is a lot of fun

somber sun
#

is there any purpose on gearing a dk alt ? MODSPAM

#

if the guild has already 3 dks

wheat edge
#

playing alts is fun

lilac stag
#

Unholy is like comfy slippers

hushed roost
#

i still miss rog though

#

unholy is so nice for prog though

lilac stag
#

Melee spots are just such a premium right now

hushed roost
#

bruh ngl im probabl going dk or ww too next tier

wheat edge
lilac stag
#

We don’t have shout for crown

wheat edge
#

6 melee dps atm

#

3 dks, rogue, ret, warrior - mistweaver - tanks

timid rose
#

i just asked my RL if i could be DK next tier and he said no... my wife also asked why i was talking to myself.

lilac stag
#

Melee is me on sub, ret, dk & ww

lilac stag
#

What sucks is overall I enjoy sub. It needs some ironing out but I’ve not gotten zone out bored on it.

hushed roost
#

i did play fury/arms for 1 tier and i hated it

#

so

#

wait is ret fun too, dont you get some ranged

#

that aspect of dk is so liberating to me

swift tinsel
#

ret has long arms

timid rose
#

i'm enjoying sub b/c i can focus on mechanics and not rotation with it, and still do decent dps while raid calling.

swift tinsel
#

you still really need to be in melee as ret tho bc of the auto attack holy power thing though

shrewd lantern
#

I mean melee should have to be in melee

#

otherwise whats the downside

hushed roost
#

there is no downside to dk

#

KEKW

hushed roost
#

these mofos get their bugs fixed in 1 business day

#

how is that fair

swift tinsel
#

I mean you can still press buttons

#

you just don't summon a ghoul

shrewd lantern
#

I just dont enjoy other classes these days

#

ill prob quit if rogue gets super stale

hushed roost
#

i just really miss last tiers rogue

swift tinsel
#

I'm in full chill mode now just futzing around on alts

hushed roost
#

and then early season kind of left a bitter aftertaste

#

ngl

swift tinsel
#

finishing up 1k delve achieve

hushed roost
#

now though sub feels incredible

random mason
#

I miss last tier assa and i wish i tried more old outlaw

timid rose
#

i had to step away from monk when they took empcap/pottk away... i miss doing big palpatine lightning hands... finding sub to be a cozy home though

hushed roost
random mason
#

Monk i have to try again so i can off spec tank

#

Also the M+ build was so comfy

shrewd lantern
#

sub feels shit rn

#

sectech the spec

swift tinsel
#

not even anymore

random mason
#

And sudden demise in PvP was so funny even tho i didnt play much pvp

timid rose
#

i geared mine as brew, but even with brew gear and dabbling as WW it was feeling pretty nice, just needed a break to reset my brain on the new rotation.

swift tinsel
#

we aren't hyper-optimizing sectech nearly to the degree we were

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah sub is kind of oogabooga

#

rn

hushed roost
#

at least it hits hard now lol

#

before it was braindead and did nothing

shrewd lantern
#

It doesnt hit hard

#

the rest of the spec just doesnt do damage

hushed roost
#

i mean in raid rn

hazy breach
#

Idk what you are talking about

#

Sub does great damage now

hushed roost
#

really strong

swift tinsel
#

ye sub after buffs is truckin

hazy breach
#

Thats also without many people playing deathstalker on the ST bosses

swift tinsel
#

the gameplay isn't as exciting to me but the damage is there

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah but this is tbf basically late farm

#

meh

hushed roost
#

im down to flagellation rupture again please

timid rose
#

i'm never afraid the tank is gunna catch me in M+ either

hushed roost
#

KEKW

hazy breach
#

I mean yeah, once a spec gets buffed by 8% its gonna be good

#

Better than before

shrewd lantern
#

flag was only a bit more interesting when the button itself did damage

wheat edge
shrewd lantern
#

we’re decent on the windchime

swift tinsel
#

didn't hof just close

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

idk if I'd say its late farm

hushed roost
shrewd lantern
#

well overall logs are mostly late farm bosses

#

i dont hate myself enough to do m+

#

forced content

swift tinsel
#

I don't really feel compelled to do any content atm

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

somber sun
#

!ui

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

rogue is raid-log status

shrewd lantern
#

m+ is useless without title

hushed roost
#

got a sick beloren kill pull though last week

swift tinsel
#

alts are for concentration burning for raid consumes for next season

shrewd lantern
#

And if you try to do 15s and under rn you get people who eat glue for fun.

hushed roost
#

straight into logging out and logging into dk for wind chime KEKW

swift tinsel
#

and delve key running

#

might do just enough keys to get 3.4k for a mount idk

hushed roost
#

im no treally liking sub in keys either

swift tinsel
#

same

hushed roost
#

even for vault keys ive just been playing outlaw

#

but it does feel decent in raids

shrewd lantern
#

beloren post nerf

swift tinsel
#

ye I've mixed it up between sub and outlaw for weekly/rolling keys

shrewd lantern
#

you likely dont do jank hold

#

since boss just dies now

hushed roost
#

yeah its hella easy now

shrewd lantern
#

Though rogue feels fine for lura

#

Barely any agency you just waiting for crystal holders to not die.

hollow raptor
#

sub in keys for vault just goes by faster tbh

#

not super fun but its chores

outlaw rising

minor osprey
#

in m+ i want to play with the first dance but idk what to drop for it ?finality?

short radish
#

void touched

minor osprey
#

fuu said a while ago he plays with tfd and i noticed a lot of times where it would be useful

minor osprey
short radish
#

yeah

#

it's also very dungeon dependent

hazy breach
#

Can drop finality too, theyre all very interchangable

short radish
#

^

hazy breach
#

Especially if you havent got a lot of crit

minor osprey
#

:DDDD

short radish
#

like the only ones i probably wouldnt run it in are

Skyreach, MT and nexus point

#

MC you gotta drop combat a shit ton in the first area

minor osprey
#

nexus seem like a good one

short radish
#

seat youre running around

minor osprey
#

with the portals

short radish
#

AA youre runnig around

#

nexus is fake imo

#

because you only have that twice

#

it seems like that and i thought so at first

#

but youre pulling quickly after packs in nexus all the way through

#

but yeah AA lots of running around between packs

#

MT you might be able to, but thats pull dependent and you have some very large packs

#

WS you drop combat a lot

#

pit you gotta drop for each prisoner

minor osprey
#

i guess i'll see how it feels

short radish
#

skyreach is gogogo except for the one maze bit

#

yah

#

it's m+

#

you just play whatever feels more comfy for you

#

and vibe it

minor osprey
#

i already press dance a lot when i see downtime incoming

#

just to not overcap

#

the supercharged CPs stay after dance so i feel like its good

short radish
#

yah

minor osprey
short radish
#

nexus is really good for that

#

skyreach also in that running bit

minor osprey
#

true

#

1st boss rp

#

2nd and 4th too

#

after 3rd running

#

i got invited to skyreach as well

#

prayge 🙏

rapid burrow
#

I just found out that one can use the aldor shoulder enchantment on current season 1 gear HOLY

hazy breach
#

How much does that give

#

Because the shoulder enchants we have right now give a fuckton of tertiarys

rapid burrow
#

2 attack power + 1 crit lol

hazy breach
#

Not sure thats worth giving up 170 leech lmao

swift tinsel
#

no yours is perfect the big buffs scare me

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

But also the cataclysm ones are 3 agi 1 mastery

#

Slightly better

timid rose
#

hmm, wait should i be running leech over avoidance?

open depot
#

Yeah

#

Don't trust your healers

timid rose
#

uhh, my healer prepares food for me and sleeps in my bed at night

hazy breach
#

I mean either is fine

#

But i like leech for keys because theres a lot of stuff avoidance doesnt work on

upbeat cradle
timid rose
#

hmm, i may pivot that way, i'd gone hard in on avoidance but that does make sense, same reason i might take elusiveness over cheat death.

small sleet
#

You should pretty much always be running elusiveness in keys

upbeat cradle
#

I only use cheat death on MT because I know my healer and I don't trust him on the runeglaives, he always ''forgets'' me

#

Elusiveness is the best talent ever tho

supple pawn
#

hi chat

upbeat cradle
#

Hi Vesa

supple pawn
#

did it end up being an outlaw tier

timid rose
#

yeah, when i was first starting and learning rogue i had cheat death... decided to pivot to elusive and then first fight after i told my group, i got oneshot by bad 😄

Sub is good everywhere except paladins i think ?

#

Outlaw got shot between the eyes and isn't that good now iirc

paper trail
#

Wouldnt say we are great on dragons

#

Rest are good y

supple pawn
#

ah, gotcha

#

just hear that outlaw is cracked in keys

#

then realise i havent heard shit for rogue in raid

upbeat cradle
#

Outlaw is cracked in high keys but so is assa

#

And sub is definitely capable of doing 20s

upbeat cradle
plush roost
#

Outlaw and sub are both very good in raid dont let the dk occult gaslight you

#

Besides paladins and dwagons ofc

upbeat cradle
#

Honestly unless you're gunning for CE just play whatever you prefer

warm marlin
#

leech isnt amazing either

#

but feint will save you from anything avoidance works on

upbeat cradle
#

Yeah since we have feint i prefer leech over avoidance

#

Or speed

#

I like speed

#

Zyooooooom

warm marlin
#

speed kinda goated

timid rose
#

yeah, mostly just like to help the healer out when possible

upbeat cradle
#

I can leave the key even faster

warm marlin
#

leech is sorta mid on sub specifically because you are only gonna be healing a good bit from leech in cds

fallow nimbus
#

I got meme'ed for running speed enchants until most died to lura beam in p4

warm marlin
#

where you already have dr from fade

warm marlin
#

even for glaives and stuff

fallow nimbus
#

Can't get dmg if dmg can't catch you kekw

west tide
#

i like leech

timid rose
#

until you run faster than the beam in front of you and get hit by that instead 😄

west tide
#

it helps a bit

grave wyvern
#

does "bis" weapon are really important or i can just just keep my current myth one(edge of the burning sun) and upgrade it to 298

timid rose
#

uhh, myth edge is probably one of the better options unless something sims differently for you 🙂

hazy breach
#

Having high ilvl is by far the most important thing

#

Just upgrade whatever you have

upbeat cradle
#

tonight i'm gonna try the forbidden chimaerus tech

somber sun
#

ohh

#

the bait that you're gonna soak with your group when you actually won't ? Cluegi

dusky yacht
upbeat cradle
#

^

#

triple soak

#

i'm in group 1 so i need to soak before transition too

somber sun
#

I never thought about this

dusky yacht
#

Pad King

somber sun
#

so what

#

you save all cds until first soak

#

xddd

#

lowkey can grief some runs if ppl arent prepared for adds to spawn that fast

upbeat cradle
#

nah i mean

#

first soak i'm in anyways

#

it's just second soak

#

that's gonna have a faster spawn

#

i guess

#

and cds are theoretically back

#

for that too

#

just hope i don't get the kiss kiss debuff

#

i don't wanna kiss others

#

i wanna pad

dusky yacht
upbeat cradle
#

they still haven't noticed

#

only told the officers i'd do it

#

but the heals haven't said anything so

#

😄

#

all good

torn turtle
upbeat cradle
#

outpadding the boomkin

#

wiped in p2 tho 😂

west tide
#

how u go down without dying again

#

and then for the 3rd

upbeat cradle
#

first one soak normally

#

second one procs cheat death

#

third one use CoS

#

before he finishes cast

#

then you can soak again p2

#

and if you're REALLY a degen

#

go with your tank alone at the end to pad one last time

west tide
#

lmfaoo

grim wasp
upbeat cradle
#

triple soak

#

ultimate add padding

#

(i'm not gonna do the fifth soak tho)

#

but your cd

#

comes back

#

right when second wave of adds spawn

grim wasp
#

too complicated for me good luck with that

upbeat cradle
#

not really

#

you just go soak the first two

#

and before intermission

#

you use cloak to still do mechanics

#

that's if you're supposed to do first soak ofc

#

if you're in second soak group then rip

#

guess you can do first and second soak

#

with just cloak

warm marlin
#

how does it change if you're second soak group

#

do you not still do soak cheat cloak

upbeat cradle
#

oh you just soak cloak

#

or soak cheat i guess

#

dunno i'm not second group

warm marlin
#

if you're going down every time the assignment should be arbitrary hmmge

grim wasp
#

So i disregard raid leaders order and just soak all groups to pad sounds great actually

#

I will say i did not hear well

upbeat cradle
#

i dunno i ask my RL if i could

#

they said sure

#

our second group

#

kills the adds slowly anyways

#

so i can just go in burst and go back to boss quickly

grim wasp
#

I will just do it without telling lets see how it goes next week

upbeat cradle
#

i don't condone that but go for it

#

ended up blue parsing

#

a fear killed me lol

#

BUT IT WORKS

upbeat cradle
#

i think i'd have done a good one if our hunt didn't fail their kick

proper sun
#

do we use aoe rotation on 2+ or 3+ targets?

minor osprey
#

outside dance yeah

#

in dance shadowstrike over suriken

minor osprey
proper sun
minor osprey
#

up to 3 targets

#

it says all here

I completelyy missed the part about dance xD

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).

!so tricky

#

Question: is our "So tricky" talent, that extends "Tricks of the Trade" to 1 hour, is it bugged? It only shows it for 30 seconds

hazy breach
#

Hit something

timid rose
#

30 seconds to hit something, but once you do it sticks around for an hour. It's super funny if the tank dies and quick releases 😄

earnest crane
#

tank get insta aggro after release 😄

timid rose
#

just keeping the pull alive 😄

west tide
#

sub is amazing i fell in love with it again on lura

#

just a good ass spec man Ws in the shat

fossil forge
#

did anyone play ds on lura

#

if possible could u send logs so i can look at it

lilac stag
#

@left ledge ^

quaint lodge
#

all ds logs for lu'ra

left ledge
#

if you're going to ask why i sent blades twice with scuffed second dances

#

it was combination of tired+sick

#

DS demolishes that boss

fossil forge
#

yea i am only missing 400 haste garf

left ledge
#

eh you have infinite crests

#

how are you missing stats

hazy breach
#

Craft more haste

left ledge
#

just craft

#

yeah

robust saddle
#

exactly, just craft

left ledge
#

i was at like 1088 haste (with flask)

#

DS really solid on that boss

west tide
#

dam should i try it

left ledge
#

yes

west tide
#

we got to 6% p3 almost done ❤️

left ledge
#

it is genuinely very good on lura

#

like we dont really matter for crystals anyways

west tide
#

i must look at the rotation for ds

left ledge
#

its almost identical

west tide
#

noice

left ledge
#

just sit 1 stack of mark until your dance if its close

#

then dance macro - sectec - proc apex on DN

west tide
#

1000 haste is so much omg

left ledge
#

yeah its 10 GCDs

#

in cds

west tide
#

i probably have to craft 285s in some slots i have 289 in to make the haste work

hazy breach
#

Aetherlume

#

Is what the engineering crafts are called

#

Theyre practically free (besides the crests and spark ofc) and can have 100% of their stats in haste

#

So like 120 haste on boots

west tide
#

oo nice okay

left ledge
#

wait why boots though

#

wouldnt it be best to just craft rings and neck

fossil forge
#

probably boots and neck for me

hazy breach
#

Well you cant craft engineering rings

#

The other rings have 50/50 split

west tide
#

i have the umm raid neck with haste

left ledge
#

yeah i mean

#

i guess thats what i mean

west tide
#

and i crafted 1 ring already

dapper karma
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm

This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.

/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Light's Potential
/cast Ancestral Call

Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:

/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder

You can find more macros and details in Guides like wowhead WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

left ledge
#

i just have trickster rings and DS rings

#

usually thats enough for stats

west tide
#

tfw my trick rings and ds rings are the same rings

hazy breach
#

If you dont have alleria neck or lura ring, its almost impossible to hit the 1.1k even if you have haste in all slots

left ledge
#

i dont have alleria neck or lura ring

hazy breach
#

Without the engineering crafts

west tide
#

oh u need 1.1k ?

left ledge
#

and i hit 1100 without engineering

west tide
#

fuccck

left ledge
#

unless you mean without flask

fossil forge
#

i am getting 290 haste from rings so thats probably ok

left ledge
west tide
#

i think i just stay trickster then prob i cant make it man..

left ledge
#

like alleria neck 100% you can just craft two rings to make it no?

hazy breach
#

Ye ig crafted neck has more haste

warm marlin
#

you cannot craft 2 rings anymore

left ledge
#

oh what

warm marlin
#

they are unique eqipped

#

fun detected

left ledge
#

wow wtf

#

i didnt know that

#

ok

earnest crane
left ledge
#

yeah

west tide
#

is crit bad on ds

left ledge
#

its alright

#

its equal to mastery p much

#

i think mastery very slightly ahead

earnest crane
#

is gloomblade still exist 😄

west tide
#

hmm ok ill sim myself later

#

but im gonna miss my ilevel im 290.7 with trick

#

ye but your DS

we are like 5 pulls in

somber sun
#

ohhh gl then

#

do you guys prog daily or the usual 2d/week ?

verbal idol
#

Does Guidon's Light trinket need to be activated a WHOLE second, before Shadow Dance? or is 0.5 second enough?

weary tree
#

It's random so to be safe you do it the gcd vbefore your cds which is 1 sec

hallow mortar
#

sometimes even 0.1s before dance is fine

weary tree
#

Yep, but it's completely random and you won't know it

verbal idol
#

SOMETIMES? 🙁

hallow mortar
#

just gotta trust rng and send it

verbal idol
#

That's... such an interesting mechanic

hallow mortar
#

its not bad

fossil forge
hallow mortar
#

i made shadowstrike macro with gudion for opener 😄

somber sun
#

ohhh mb then

hazy breach
# verbal idol SOMETIMES? 🙁

Deepening shadows updates the duration of dance every second, but its almost impossible to know exactly when it does that. Most of the time 0.5s is more than enough

somber sun
#

appreciate that ww

hazy breach
#

But if you are unlucky it can be upwards of 1 second

weary tree
hallow mortar
#

technically you need 1s every time

#

or 0.1 every time

#

depends

hazy breach
#

Thats the list with diminishing returns, but it turns out Deepening ignores the diminishing returns and goes straight of your stat values

edgy imp
#

cool but were talking about mastery

brisk raptor
#

I’m currently 281 ilevel on my sub rogue and I feel like I’m doing a ton of damage in mythic 16 and 17. My main is an unholy DK where I’m clearing 19s. I’m shocked at how many people say how bad sub is, I could see it not being Meta, but it doesn’t feel bad to me.

paper vessel
#

now play the other two, and come back to sub

brisk raptor
#

Are people just dooming or does it get that much worse when you go up a couple keys?

plush roost
# verbal idol That's... such an interesting mechanic

Basically deepening starts a 1 second clock when you log in that persists until you log out. Nearly impossible to track (tho some silly addon enjoyers tried to varying success) so the 1 sec delay before dance is the best way to avoid shenanigans

sub is good in keys thisseasons

Good to know. I just finished at 180 K overall in a 16 Mag Terrace with no Aug. Seems pretty decent to me.

Like my thought has been arms sub ele bear mw

With insane pulls every 3 min

Would go very very fast

But nobody wants to do that when its just discount meta comp

Outlaw is 1 keylevel behind the meta, sub/assassin are 2 keylevels behind

Ppl love discounts tho

which dungeon you running without PP

But in M+ you're running it anyway

You don't

plush roost

And 2x finality

thats pretty bad

plush roost

Was like only 7k dps behind

left ledge
#

huh

random mason

i had an AA without picking up the dragon buff in the beginning garf

plush roost
#

Its surprisingly not that far behind

left ledge
#

do you have low mastery

plush roost
#

I forget what the sim was

hollow spear
#

People overvalue it a bit tho

plush roost
#

But they were pretty close

#

With pp obv better

hollow spear
#

Sim says it's not that giga ahead

#

Still int not to take it

left ledge
#

ah you're talking about a dslice sim or what

plush roost
#

In pure aoe you will always be behind

#

But u make up for it in boss dps

hollow spear
#

I'll leave that to the uhdk

left ledge
#

eh yeah but AA is such heavy aoe

plush roost
#

Eh

#

Aa is actually pretty mid sized

#

Outside of lashers

hollow spear
#

First pull is giga, afterwards it's mid

random mason
#

4 boss dungeon as well

left ledge
#

hmmmge

#

maybe yeah

#

i just feel like my aoe goes to absolute shit without pp

plush roost
#

Left side route is quite a bit larger tho

hollow spear
#

And MDI pulls don't count hehe

#

In my weeklies I sometimes feel like 2x finality is better

hazy breach
#

When i did big aoe sims PP was like +4% compared to finality, and its like -2.5% on ST

hollow spear
#

With the pussy tanks

plush roost
#

Yeah like i said

#

Relatively close

#

Ty eleem

runic sinew
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

But the thing about finality is that you kinda want crit for it to be good

hollow spear
#

Should just ask the tank if they're racist and choose talents based on their reply

#

What do you want for dark brew? Asking for a friend.

small sleet
hazy breach
#

And i think the best setup for sub aoe now is to just skip finality whatsoever and masterymaxx out the wazoo

#

Tfd+pp with like 300 crit garf_sit

#

1500 mastery

hollow spear
#

Hmmge

small sleet
#

im tempted to try no finality, but tfd feels so ehh to me

hollow spear
#

Pretty much my setup rn

hazy breach
#

Ye obviously not if youre chaining literally everything

#

But like AA you get a lot of procs

plush roost
#

Youre gaslighting bro best setup for aoe is very obviously 200 haste 1k crit 1.2k mast pizzlebox 2x finality pp no lashe

hollow spear
#

Since ds disliked crit, I've dumped it down to 300ish

hazy breach
#

No lashe is indeed better aoe

#

But garf_sit

plush roost
hollow spear
small sleet
#

lashe is too good

plush roost
#

Way too good ye

hollow spear
#

Win 5 seconds on first pull, lose 25 seconds on boss

hazy breach
#

Its actually closer than you might expect, even in terms of prio damage

hollow spear
#

Closer to what?

carmine birch
#

dumb question.. was looking at the Archon opener in Class codex, Do we use Black powder and Shiruken storm? Or is that rotation just BS

hazy breach
#

To finality

carmine birch
#

The opener didn't specifiy but noticed it was not on wow head. I get if its an AOE pull. but odd for single target

#

If that addon is ass ill remove it. few people reccomended it

hollow spear
#

I'm kinda lost rn Eleem, what are we comparing? 😅

hazy breach
#

Finality vs Danse

hollow spear
#

Oh rly

#

Could have sworn danse was just way past competition

hazy breach
#

For pure ST yes

#

For a mix of aoe and ST its a lot closer

carmine birch
#

I would assume its the debuffs they provide? but they weren't mentioned on wowhead so I was confused

crystal blaze
#

i gave sub another chance and it feels great

#

what are some of the weaknesses/drawbacks of the spec

hollow spear
#

Low target cleave is ass

#

See vanguard statistics

#

Good aoe, mid prio, no cleave, great single target

#

Imo

carmine birch
hazy breach
#

It does not

ok. sorry for the dumb question. Just conflicting information

Mark damage quite low

But aoe maybe big

small sleet

definitely is

at least 1%

alpine wraith

could be mark dmg is not that bad tbh

small sleet

mark damage is like 4% on a random log i pulled up

hollow spear

My quick sim says 4.4%

#

Ok I'll take it

small sleet
#

so like 1-1.5% st

alpine wraith

a bit more prio too

guess ds will cement itself as the spec for laura

if crystal dmg is fine for the raid

only caveat is needing 1100 haste

hallow mortar

idk i dont feel like playing it on lura

alpine wraith

yea i guess most people not caught up in the changes does not know it is almost 5% ahead

not it will be solidly 5%

for most setups if the haste can be gotten

let me check lura logs

I don’t think you can use that this way

if its not a HUGE difference im not changing anything

its its HUGE for M+ i will change

im on M lura so i am sticking with trickster for raid

its nice that theyre buffing the shit option and not just putting the good option into the shitter

no one wants to play it now

they aren't gonna want to play it after

subti and ropa played it on lura

so my statement is correct

ds is much better on lura already garf

Deathstalker buffs

(click for notes)

Deathstalker got a ~1.5% buff. It was already very good on Singletarget, now its gonna be even better. It is now around 6% ahead of Trickster Trickster in ST with the right gear setup, and as a reminder Deathstalker wants around ~1100 haste (AFTER FLASK AND OIL), instead of the regular ~700. Its still very bad at doing any form of AoE, but at this point in the tier most small adds just get obliterated anyway so going full ST is not the end of the world of bosses like Averzian, Vorasius and Salhadaar.

Here are a couple of recommendation to achieve the Haste required, besides getting Haste on as many slots as possible:

  • Flask of the Blood Knights
  • Crafted Atherlume engineering items, these crafted items can have 100% of their stats in Haste.
  • Eternal Voidsong Chain from Alleria / Eye of Midnight from Midnight Falls (Lura)
  • The new Sporefall raid also drops a ring that is very Haste heavy.
  • Do NOT replace your Eyes of the Eagle ring enchant for the Haste ones. It is not worth it.

Talent setup:

I'm relatively new to Sub Rogue, I was watching Peekaboo in m+ earlier, why does he blades shadow dance sec tech then shadowstrike in aoe? then goes into black powder>shuriken spam? is that the rotation?

#

I was just watching bro, tf? lol sorry.

hazy breach
#

You generally want to get 2x DN per dance

marble path
lofty sun
spring basin
#

Why does it like haste so much? Longer SD for more ds mark damage?

hazy breach
#

So sit at 1 stack of mark > get 5 sht > eviscerate > dance+storm > apex DN > sectech

hazy breach
hallow mortar
#

not the normal neck

hazy breach
#

And auto attacks do more damage with hunt them down

spring basin
#

Do we still want Guidon?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

But it is a bit more involved than trickster, as getting procs of Quietus changes your mark timings a bit and you have to react to put it back to where you want it to be

alpine wraith
#

yea the x2 snap can be kinda confusing if you are new

heady dragon
#

blessed day for it

#

i feel sorry for my blue name brothers

funnily enough

unless you want to do aoe then yea

you can cope all you want

it will always suck to play around the mark

#

Would this build apply to Beloren and Lura as well?

paper stirrup

is this build even possible without giga neck?

hazy breach
#

Yes

worthy timber
#

So with the buffs is it really worth regearing for single target raids or is it provably just better to stay trickster

alpine wraith
#

depends on your goals

random mason
#

depends on where you are and how far you progress yeah

swift tinsel
#

I ain't doing that lol

random mason
#

for voidspire just stay trickster

swift tinsel

we're on dragons anyways

random mason

if you're doing march only it should be worth it

Right now every log is trickster tho?

swift tinsel
#

how far behind in aoe is ds with the changes?

jagged coyote
#

We are looking to finish Myth Crown this weekend, will be on March soon

swift tinsel
#

can't imagine the mark and storm buff move the needle that much for aoe

jagged hamlet

For DS 1100 haste then Crit>Mastery or 50/50?

random mason
#

and no one was prepping DS

swift tinsel
#

aldrachi reaver havoc buffs tho stonk

random mason

with uncapped crests you can just craft new gear to have a DS set and do like ~5% more ST

Doesnt seem worth it for baloren i guess lura maybe

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.

hazy breach

Do we macro our haste trinket to blades?

E.g light of guldon

getting the haste seems trouble

peak ice
#

Especially if ur trying to avoid recrafting gear yea

woven nimbus
#

I mean 6% is a bit but with all the cleave and the haste Situation id assume most rogues will just stay trickster after prog

swift tinsel
#

it feels kinda awkward to sit on dn for a few sec with no cp for a few sec before dance but being able to sc apex DN evisc -> sectech is kinda fun

granite lark
#

6% is pretty large, most people scrounge for sub 1% gains on vaults atp

hazy breach
granite lark
#

and if you're on reclear who really cares about swapping it up, might as well try something different if you can make the cap

hazy breach
#

You sit on 1 mark > get 5 sht > eviscerate > dance+storm > DN with apex > sectech
