man. more higher education maths. 
what abou raid fight vs m+ fight
What's the difference in % between someone who SC every DN evisc and someone who doesn't
what math do we use there
@vale pine should be "Two-target cleave" and the first potent powder should be black powder.
Keep in mind that its not even only about supercharging the DN
You also get 2 DNs off in a dance
If you start the dance with DN
The exact percentage doesn't matter, it's int to not do it
btw how long is the dance with 1100 haste
9 gcds
8.6 seconds I think. I forgot what the tooltip had
Every ~500 haste is another gcd
holup arent we having 8 with 700 haste
Bro wtf
Yes you'd have 8 with 700
it would be good if haste was tuned in the way that u can cover the entire blades with 2 dances
You can
With guidon
yea but i need like 2k haste xD
What
For personal knowledge?
Leading to what?
we dont get to 1500 haste even with guidon, no?
It's not even that. It's worse 
Grabbed the wrong one.
Yeah, I would have replied the same to the other one tho haha
I could swear I've asked before, but my memory is shot. Do we apex the sc sectec during our dance or no, Eleem?
answer is: nobody ever cared to compile the exact number probably, because it only mattered to follow the rotation
Feel like I sometimes lose the 2nd apexed dn if I don't get a lucky proc, if I apex the sectec
Well next season shadowblades will be shorter
Is TFD gonna be better than Finnality in keys ?
Thanks. Why isn't it written, in rotation faq, to enter dance at 1 Mark/DN ?
i tried it in a couple of 19s and 20s doesn't feel better imo
but it sims more
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You can’t really sim TFD. Dslice also a little cooked for sub
oh
most tanks are incredibly skilled at pulling one single mob at 20% into next pull
i got around 10-12 tfd per dungeon
and i played aroud it
waited in stealth untill it was finished
@hazy breach Quick question
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sbfCfvRenb3FLnesmdMpJX
This setup gives my 700 haste exactly
I am not however consistently getting a second sectech in blades window. I M+ pretty much only. Is this acceptable
You’re getting 10 restealths with TFD in a 20 min run? 
You have puzzle box...
!stats
Without guidon, you can't with your 700 haste
he play NIght elf for sure
Right I understand that
I M+ almost exclusively
just confirming my thoughts
and at higher keys meld is a better defensive
yeap
just run finality and blast
if u can join one
My 269 warrior got an invite to a 11 faster than my 289 rogue 
i already done 4 20s and no one getting me
and mostly i see they got and outlaw 😄
thats pain

but i did play around it
(afk first 2-3s of pull)
no just remove the talent and take finallity insta
It's probably inconsequential
Legendary boots (sandals) would be more thematic
yes. There are some dungeons it’s easier. You’re saying 10-12 yet 2 are 6-8. TFD is fine. Is it worth playing around? Likely not in a pug. If you’re coordinated enough is the real question. Personally just blast with finality and don’t worry about stealth at all. Whatever you enjoy more is the most important part.
it’s way more trouble than it’s worth in weekly keys
in weekly keys ofc
i haven't gotten WS invites where i feel like it would have been best but it is what it is
cuz you aint 290 slacker
smh
Neck holding me back. Maybe we get kill this week.
Then I get moved to DK
I missed our alleria kill, so my vault is forever cursed 
just craft one man 😄
heroic neck, two crafted. 289.75 
ply the right talent so u dont need 1100 haste 😄
289,75 is not 290
if you kill belo does it not unlock alleria loot?
You mean the right class.
or does it not because it's technically a different raid
Good question, no idea. My gut tells me it doesn't unlock Alleria.
if u play a wrong class atleast play a right talent 😄
hard to test, most people who do bel already killed the windrunner
It's 0.7% damage I'm missing from the proc 
yeah very hard to test
As
I’m at 684 haste with neck. So kindly fuck off over the .25 ilvl
i did look, it seems like the alleria neck does significantly more overall dmg on 289 compared to 276
any tips for crown on sub
No invites then
this or bust sorry
no invnite
invite*
it's not a dps check fight anymore so do the mechs well
perfect.
Pfff
don't be afraid to drop uptime to make sure you're not getting puddle stacks in P1
Yeah and lingering buffs it further
and hitting clones in P2
does yeha
Gear up guide 😄
that is kinda nooby!
No MM mh?
no i can change one socket for 700 flat haste 😄
see above message
dont have the luck
not having 2x embels on = DQ
are we gonna be using deathstalker on lura
Where we’re going we don’t need embellishments
yes, if you have the haste
I was about to go use a voidcore on a 2nd dagger to make it like 291.20 but cba 
you can it does really good boss dmg
trickster is also good on lura too
i suspect you can use either and be totally fine
That's what I decided to do last week
alr cool so i can stick with trickster then?
cause not really sure how im gonna achieve 1100 haste
Your dps loss
if you want to sure, people were killing lura prenerf with weaker trickster sub
so it's more than capable
I think playing DS with Trickster gear is only 1,5% dps loss
But hero talent deals 6 more
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
So you'll be at 4,5 % play ds with Trickster build
The play is to have everyone swap to DS so they buff trickster
do you need eye of midnight + alleria neck for the 1100 haste
No
no but they help
it's pretty hard to get enough haste w/o alleria neck
oh ok so i should still use deathstalker even if i dont have the perfect haste
Sim yourself but you can, yes
they buffed DS when it didn’t need it. sT should be ahead even with less than perfect haste
- Haste flask
how much does the flask give
is that lura ring?
Yes :3
152 r1 165 r2
165 at max rank
@tribal blade have u invested in the dps shoulder enchant yet?
Engineer items are really good for it, boots gives 121 and bracers 90 iirc
Got it from the M+ weekly event
nice!
big dps!!
is this another bugged thing?
I was collecting transmog yesterday and found it on a legacy pvp item vendor in stormwind 
damn nice
after prog I am deffo swapping for that big 3 agi 
can't wait for key pushers to randomly get banned for using enchants that aren't meant to be used at this lvl
and then act surprised it happened
(it won't happen)
TBC sharpening stones 
lol yeah that too
they don't action against people doing CE
it's usually only ever the RWF or title pushers
I just replace boots and bracers with engineering ones qnd use haste flask to get 1100 haste whenever I wanna try DS, boots+bracer+flask is like 360 haste
maybe I have to go see if u can still get these in retail 
Did that get nerfed?
nope
Wait does this actually work
I have 16 haste i can get rid of so i think I can finally try using these
I saw somebody at the start of the xpac w tiger claw/fang
That’s wild LMAO
3 agi haha
3agi+3stamina+sharpness7
Theres a cataclysm rep one thats 3 agi 1 mastery as well
But like, youre giving up so much leech/avoidance that it probably aint worth it most of the time, but you do you 
the real dps shoulder enchant is speed 
I guess u could also grind tbc rep 
Bruh
i found a bug in game switch to outlaw for insta invite 😄
noice
might try it
do i still need to play outlaw after i get invited?
dont know next step
just found out untill getting invite
if u Q for +3700 they check raider io for top rogue spec 😄
to do an 18
or speed. don't forget speed. the most important stat
welcome to lura prog
is there an explanation for why we need to get 1100 haste for the DS build?
Ya its gonna take awhile but 1 more boss to go
you don't have the sectec CDR from trickster
And you can often get 2 dn per dance
not sure if you still send 2 sectec during blades or if you wait to send the second sectec supercharged with a dance after blades ?
After
But your next dance should be almost immediately after blades ends anyway
in lura p1 i felt like sending in blades made it line up a bit nicer with the adds spawning
yeah third dance often is
i'm treating every fights except chimaerus dragons and paladins as single targets fights anyways
has anyone tried the cloud cover build for bel eggs? is it worth
This surprisingly works
We were debating this yesterday
Queue is flooded with phys comps
And its easier to play cuz of smaller pulls
Whats the reason its so important to dance low cp as DS doen't make sense to me rn
you get rid of premed bug and ensure apexed DN evi

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

That’s insanity
I think I’d rather repeatedly headbutt a brick wall
it's pretty normal on an end boss with a hard P1
my guild started lura today too and this was ours
Damn
Furthest I’ve ever made it during a “current tier” is like halfway thru hc/mythic
Depending when the xpac was
I think tindral tops that stat
you can do it!
oh yeah tindral was nuts
prenerf tindral
jesus
We managed 77 wipes during out 3 hour raidtime on our first night of tindral
Halfway thru SOO HC/Myth & halfway through NP + LOU
lol yeah tindral was 20 second wipe factory
Didn’t really mythic raid any other xpacs
And since you spawn on the platform, we had a instant release weakaura 
lol that actually shaves off valuable seconds
to get more wipes in
huge
i actually got taken off flying orb duty because i was doing a lot of boss dmg
which was pretty neat
haha, just to wait for the 2 guys to come back from the toilet after 2 mins every whipe
Deathstalker take a 30% dommage Wenesday right ? We will stay in trickster for raid or must be pass in deathstalker ?
DS is getting a small bump in dmg
and i suspect people will still stay trickster
i don't think you're gonna see a mass migration over to DS, but who knows
judging from history it tends to not happen
ok ok i tk too, if for know if i prepar a stuff with 1100 haste for ^^
it's still worth to prepare 1100 haste for DS
i still dont play that i really dont enjoy this outlaw
if you're still progging the raid it could be worth having DS set up
i kinda don't want to swap, but i've prepped my gear and i'm gonna practice on the dummies just in case
is mastery that good in aoe that even being heavyy into dr is stil worth it?
We twinning 😂
1322 with just flask and it still wants potion of recklesness
Mfers spending hours grinding for a cloak thats a 0.3% dps upgrade but wont swap to deathstalker for a 5% dps upgrade 
WE ARE that's what i thought when i saw your screenshot lol
HAHA TRUEEEE
maybe a slow shift, don't think most people will switch tho
the new raid seems like its aoe heavy
i think so too yeah
and most of the current content is tuned low enough to cba switching
I keep hearing about Tindral and I've never done that fight, was it DF ?
we are just far enough into a patch, for the extra % dps to not matter as much
yeah, very hard boss
before heavy nerfs it was an insane fight
still post nerfs was hard
In terms of parsing you’ll probably only play it on crown if you do play ds
what about Vorasius tho
that fight had everything in it
sub was really good on it because you could blow up the shields after flying between platforms
and BP spam to break roots
With current ilvl you’ll most likely kill the boss with the adds on top
took a lot of coordination too
on my guild's kill i snagged a last seed before the raid blew up
i think they were seeds
if i hadn't gotten that we woulda wiped
hell on earth fight
tindral was the craziest fight I ever done pre-nerf
and then I did p1 ansurek before any nerfs
yeah getting the seeds prenerf
was fucking insanity
that was tough af
yeah my guild JUST got to the seeds
before the nerf
and we were like "jesus christ this shit is impossible"
yeah i don' think you can understand the gravity of it just watching
Also youre talking about the nerf a few weeks in where you could double soak right? Not the nerf that gave you 2 additional seconds that happened like a week after rwf
Eh, I knew I wanted no part of it. 😂
yeah the nerf where you could soak more than 1 seed
yeah I'm talking about before the 2 additional seconds
(i'm in a shitter guild haha)

LOL
literally the very first nerf
ahhhh ok
ngl on vorasius i just treat the boss like a training dummy and if an add targets me i just vanish
niiiiice
was our first prog night too
you guys got more pulls in
light 30bands for repairs
i think we must have progged the addons boss more than you guys haha

thank god we are leather bro
we did too, but some people had issues
warriors be repairing for 50k each raid
our prog will slow down with everyone going on vacation
hopefully we kill it before
i also got flamed by my guild for saying havoc is good on lura
which confused me
but w/e
hehe yeah prob the move
it is not misinformation
people just forgot purple class has 2 more options to play
YUP
they can legit do everything though
havoc so broken i might have to whip out skibisigmq out the bench
but blud is still lvl 80
i never finish lvling
yeah a lot of people hate lvling in wow
now i understand why vanilla lvling might feel too long but what we have nowadays is bs, lvling should take at least 2-3 weeks
quite a take
i hate to be that guy, but leveling during vanilla was magical
entire game was magical then
i played vanlla last winter for the first time in my life (i originally started playing from tbc) and i had the experience i tho i will never ever feel playing wow
the way you get familiar with zones, with quest stories...
sure not every quest line is epic but sure at least once per zone u get some quest chain where u just wanna know what happens next
i did try plaaying it like it was 2005. i didnt use almost any addon
surely not quest helper, wa and other stuff
i used 1 addon back then haha
i literally read quest txt and try to figure out where to go
it was an addon to show energy ticks
like north west, mentiones cave, has to be this way
oh nobody even did that in 2005 lol
we used thotbot
i honestly can't imagine leveling w/o that
and then travelling to location, on foot till lvl 40 then slow ass mount
With ds buffs next reset assuming to not play for padding, in bosses like last 3 of the tier Is te go to?
now u just mount up, see where marker points and SWOOOOSH u r there
u dont give a shit how zone looks like, what music is playing just kill whatever quest pointer shows
true
the only thing ppl care now is that number 0/4, 0/10 w/e
oh its 10/10 now gg quest done mount up go
i mean im not an idiot i know that game is now more inclined towards the end game content, back then end game content was kinda shite a bit
ok boomers but can we discuss how bonusrolling has killed boosting
but still just killing lvling entirely isnt a solution

end game content back then had crazy barrier to entry
go to your corner
u read this in Doragosa voice, i hope

yes i did
i was just locked in algetar for 4 hours
i timed it though
🕴️
resil key asylum
ye but u had only like pvp and raids
and some dungeons i guess if u rly didnt have any gear
Good
sell mounts. carry io. be real
yeah but to even be able to step into the raids
you had to do so much shit
i enjoy boosting raid however i do not enjoy boosting m+
i was spamming 10-12s early season for gold
I can actually gear and alt up quickly and have fun. idgaf about boosting issues
no advertiser cut best 
how exaclty did bonus roll kill boosting?
no clients
what changed for them
i fail to see the connection
heroic gear devalued or what
joes just get dungeon items
but u could do it before as well
these DN eviscerates are so juicy
deeznuts
indeed
everyone just bonusrolled everywhere and everyone is 290
no point in buying a boost on a fresh alt
when u spawn with 12 bonus rolls
ye but u still need to finish the key
yeah having full mythic pieces is no longer hard to do
i mean
and weekly vault is no longer as valuable
10s are like
like the amount of keys is not so different comparing to previous seasons, innit
so easy rn
that i do understand
but with bonus rolling you can legit just bonus roll your way to full 289 gear
and combine that with crafted gear
u can go 10
you do yeah
so technically you still want the boost
but the market is smaller now because you can finish off a toon way faster i suspect
I heard uhdk can solo it
before it was a long process for people to gear their toons
from boosting
now it's very fast
i beg to differ i live for wednesday vault opening.
cursed
haha nice
i think i've done 1 key this week
i'm not getting 8
😮
im playing 2 chars so 12 keys a week is ok
what have you been doing?
chilling 😉
what do u need g
enjoying key retirement
im hunting for the alleria neck still
yeah that's the only thing i truly need
or vorasius ring for outlaw
alleria neck
I'll probably do first 3 + Chim
to at least have 2 vault slots
my first 3 this week disintegrated after a less than clean Vorasius kill
resi 17 obtained 
I feel like i've been really lucky pugging keys I haven't really had the issue of applying for more than 10 minutes to get into anything
its only gotten easier the higher i've gone so far funnily enough
left the queue simulator with the spec change
i think this key was first time I've had an aug in a while and only now I saw what they really do to everyones damage
yeah it gets alot worse at 19-20
I was only missing AA and couldnt get into a 19
keys just explode alot more often but theres also alot of people with 19 resil
skill issue
I'll see how that goes when I get there, I've done 2 19s so far so I know at least in general the keys themselves shouldn't be a problem
yeah theyre not, most 19s are pretty chill but the party finder isnt
@tribal blade seat farming later. No longer pit enjoyer. 
congrats

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Does anybody have any tips for me on dragons on mythic I have it pulled the boss yet I might be
the fight is straight forward, so don't think there is that much to say about it
Okay I was just making sure there wasn't any big changes from heroic to mythic
the intermission is diffrent, but how its played depends on your guilds strategy and your RL probably already shared one
the orbs usually survive longer than on heroic, so you can pad a bit easier
pay attention to second intermission
only way you can wipe there
Hold sectec for adds
try to pre spread if you can
U can align them pretty good
don't rly need to hold much, it aligns quite well naturally
If u hold a lil for first add set
feint is your friend too ^^
It aligns really nice
yeah worked super well
Cant they make sunder armor an easy raid buff for rogues if tuned right? or nah
expose weakness**
Ofc they could
"oh shit we need to bring rogues for 3% armor reduction"
But monks already do that
You can perma cleave them so its BP the whole fight apart from intermission
I think only if you're assigned a gloom soak you might be out of bp cleave range right?
Step in, step out. It's like a gcd
oh yeah also when you do do gloom soaks you do a small aoe around you so don't stack with people while doing those
you can soak quite close as long as each one is on one side of the ball
Starting mythic lura tomorrow, any tip? Besides from good luck
Don't die
Thank for the tips I'm still a little new to sub rouge I just start playing it this season
hey same, keep it up
monk's physical damage increase was initially designed for rogue
the reason rogue lost it to monk was that at the time these buffs got created
rogue seemed like a critical part of raid groups as it could simplify encounter mechanics with their utility spells
if we label it as a problem
then the problem is, that this wasn't re-evaluated
becuase rogue is for surely not the spec you think about atm when talking about simplifying a encounter
neither would you pack more than one in a raid group too
give us a melee hunters mark 
it was also very visible in the rwf
the world first race is seemingly the only competition which can create enough waves to cause a change
because rogue, for a long time now relied on tuning to be considered
which in many tiers wasn't good
luckily, we had top guilds often still bringing it
is a common suggestion
well not exactly giving hunters mark
but hunter raid buff was initially very meh
Is first thing that springs to mind because in utility with cloak I do basically the same thing as our hunters in raid
and blizz decided to "update" it to be now one of the strongest
is it the only raidbuff that can "stack" (like having 3 hunters on vanguard)?
cloak is a 2 min cooldown
meanwhile DK runs around with a similar effect on a 45? sec cooldown
also does not require consistent boss uptime
and protect 2 other ppl
my point is
the initial reason why rogue did lose the physical damage buff is gone entirely
imagine cloaking 3/5 ppl in a key
rogue is not allowed to cheese as much as it used to be
and encounter design shifted
its basically just very difficult
to keep track of all moving parts
we luckily or sadly don't have one central ressource to compare classes/specs in all apects of the game on a somewhat even base
but most things are still sensitive to tuning
how good your survival is, only matters, if survival is a problem
how good your cleave/AoE damage is, only matters if you have cleave or aoe
how good your burst is, only matters if encounters benefit from burst damage
but this is why having as many niches as possible is benefitial, because having niches is a
"win more" cheat code
it is why i argue that the midnight changes are a net negative for subtlety, as some of our niches got cut or removed
well especially since it came after tww s3 which is imho one of the best for sub, or rogue in general
which means we traded off quite a bit for mostly a simplification of the rotation and haste breakpoints
we love haste breakpoints
and having no benefits from certain haste effects like bloodlust
(/s if thats not obvious)
tho, we now move into a interessting space
the buffs over time moved us up in the statistic
I am progressing in L'Ura as sub rogue in MM, should I switch to Deathstalker on reset right? As there's only adds in first phase...
and high ranks in the statistic makes it hard to argue around (design) changes
if you can reach roughly 1100 haste
worth switching
you could but it doesnt matter either way youll kill the boss
if you can't, stay trickster
you can:
- Switch to haste flask.
- Recraft gear if you don't have haste.
- Craft Engineering gear, as it allows you to have one stat only.
- Switch gems.
don't! switch ring enchants tho.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kPjA3SSZZ9AB8t9FaxBcgw I have really good rings, not thinking about to switch them
also, if you can only reach like 1080 haste, thats fine too just a bit tighter
i probably will stay on trickster tho
don't have a lot of haste gear
the 12.0.7 raid is also quite aoe heavy
sooo
thank you so much for your feedback

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).
is it hard to argue if they just keep pumping % buffs into the spec
nah that talent is dogwater
I wonder what's the plan for future patches
So much to read can i ask quick, are we swapping to deathstalker or?
If you can reach 1100 haste and want to go full st then you can
rip
1.1k haste is roughly how much haste %? since night elf racial triggers at night
You need the 1100 number not %
huh why
Sub haste is always number
Because not all % haste stuff works for the things we want
Iirc deepening shadows only works on the rating number not the percentage
Yep
how so
hm
You can just play trickster and its fine
doesnt immune it, only reduces duration by 50%. the shield was nerfed so that it is so small it will break to any incidental damage. and last I checked, it can go on random pets instead of players
If you weren’t playing ds before there’s not really a reason to switch to it now
like my ams is 350k or something and the one that goes on allies from the talent is like 10k
Good to know this 
Well if it's a 6% increase in st we should learn to play it at least on mythic raiding
make it 10% and I'll consider meaningfully investing time in learning it lol
(jk I will not do that)
Then I'm not sure, is it that uncomfortsble to play deathstalker?
no, its honestly pretty fun to play
So?
1100 haste is hard to get and ds is bad outside of pure st
and people still have trauma from the mark
I would play it on vora, fk, alleria, belo, lura prob if i had the haste
and if i was on rogue 
I spent 30-45mins with it the other day and I just don't really enjoy playing with/around mark personally
rip
when it was 3% ahead in the past, but it was a fight where parry was a reasonable concern
it still wasnt a ds angle
its cool that it gives people some variety since it plays a bit differently than trickster, but just not for me
How are we feeling about the Deathstalker buff tomorrow?
it's a buff, but it's still deathstalker
deathstalker was already ahead in st, it will be a little more ahead

not necessarily for rogue but in general lol unless it has a real come to Jesus moment I'm not playing it
Is Rogue cleave just ass this season? I'm doing great on ST and AoE heavy fights, but I seem to struggle a bit with cleave fights.
Sub has 0, shitlaw and assa are okaysh
!AA

If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).
would u only do it in lust or without lust too?
lust is irrelevant to how we play
You want to use sectech on cd
Or rather, you dont want to delay it to make sure you dont have AA
yea but on 2nd dance in blades do i try to AA + ST or without
Well you cant delay it, because then its outside of blades
So you just have to send it
!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.
!stats
They’re shit too. 
we all suck at cleave
Amazing
they deliberately took it away in prepatch 
Was there a reason for that?
Do you think everyone still holds a grudge from Stranglethorn Vale ganks back in Vanilla? They seem to either not care or have it out for us.
AI only holds a grudge if you tell it to
They took it away to make Dev DH's look more appealing
The busted DPS in Mythic+ wasn't enough I guess
keeping the sub dream alive. ~210K in an 18 MC
how much stats does engi boots give on 285?
I think they literally let one guy balance Rogue for a decade. And then that person left.
121 or something
If you compare with other classes yes, but there's a huge difference between sub----- outlaw and assa melewise
Yeah, but sub is much worse than assa and outlaw
why do you think rogue, despite having an extremely useful raid buff for paladins. Sits all the time. Cleave is Shit.
For paladins we go for a m+ build right ? (don't tell me to respec i'm begging)
Can I trust my single target sim if it tells me to use pot of reck over lights potential? Shows a 500 dps gain for pot of reck
I’ll have whatever you’re having if you think any of the 3 specs have ok cleave. 

Again, I said that comparing with other classes, rogue cleave sucks
BUT, inside of rogues, the worse by a lot is sub 🙂
it’s not when all three are bottom the difference between the three is insignificant
Not insignificant at all between these 3 tbh
✌️
Take potent powder instead of 2x finality
@shy ermine nice way to wipe the raid there boss
Then asked to be benched
hahaha for fucks sake
Thanks !
Egoed 🌚
i'll do
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
still too much slam 
the dk is 245 or something. that's like his 5th alt
cds
He could have done more dmg with one button. 
arms and ST dmg in keys with no shaman. 
what was the rets excuse?
or are they not responsible for that one
yeah i dunno that guy, just a random i think
!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.
I just want to say sub should get a dedicated wowhead complaining article like arcane
i think it works
inherently, making the number go up is a good way to remove concerns
e.g. season 1 DF
subtlety did worse on single target, worse on cleave
but good in AoE
so when asked, what would you like from the spec
the answer was
well, it currently is worse than assassiantion, so you wouldn't play it in single target
and it is worse in m+ than outlaw which pointed with strong cleave
If we had this tuning earlier in the season fuu I think it changes nothing for rogue performance this tier in raid
so, a good idea would be to have a more level playing field
however
what happened was not a buff
rather a nerf to the other specs
so suddenly, numbers went up
my point is, the balance enviroment is in change all the time
and so, you can have a legitimate concern
but due to nerfs/buffs, it does matter less out of the sudden
how strong your argument is, depends on how well your spec performs
if the #1 dps spec in the game complains, you rather say they are entitled
replace it with the worse spec, people start to listen
Tuning does not fix the worse fights, but you had more incentive to bring a rogue on specific fights
see i had a heated argument with some of the assassiantion folks a while back
how raid design can be bad for melee dps
Part of the problem for rogue is that dk is a required melee spot where on the important fights you wanted minimum 2 of them
the point was dismissed entirely
And dk also outperforms rogues damage in every situation
because "modern raid design is never rly bad for melee dps, you are only talking about things that happened years ago"
and no matzer what i argued, this was a very persistent stance
now
since belo is killed in 2 egg how does logs handle both egg dmges? does it count both in phase two?
this tier suddenly people think there is a possibility for bad melee design
Phase 2 is always the egg yes
does it count both in one? average over both?
Melee has been op in raid for a long time. Usually melee will be exempt from most mechanics, and also do more damage than a majority of ranged
This is the first tier in awhile where melee is kinda shit
yes
Broadly speaking
Undermine was not long ago
but this is the point
Like melee gets every mechanic on alleria. In most other raid tiers, melee wouldn't get the orb drop mechanic at all
Most tiers the paladin boss wouldn't cast divine storm the entire fight causing melee to take more damage
Ther also wouldn't be a soak mechanic that needs to be spread out, mostly out of melee range of the boss
well yes
again thats the point
the possibility of what you mention was entirely dismissed
but if thats the case
isnt being exempt from mechanics often a bad thing
how could it be relevant again this tier
Depends on the fight
I mean specifically mechanics that require you to run out, usually melee can't get
Like the debuff in oab
Melee couldn't get that mechanic
The scope of melee vs. ranged is in general bigger
the problem space is, ranged is inhernetly better than melee dps
and it is very hard to make a mechanic thats punishing for ranged, compared to one for melee
this is why boss design often allowed melee to not play mechanics
or lets say, did give ranged dps more jobs
There’s a lot of ways you could make fights favor ranged less
The issue is also that melee dps all have horrible damage profiles
For this tier, you have fmage and mm doing insane cleave that melee cannot do
Generally the way you make ranged less favor is you make melee not get mechanics, and also make it overtuned. Which has been the case for more than 6 years
absolutely
One bad melee tier isn't the end of the world
If it becomes a pattern it's a problem
we are moving up in the pirate world
Well it’s also soul hunters, and all of undermine
There’s no fight where you bring 2 rdps
But now we have fights with 2 or even 1 melee
But i don't think its good design
to force melee dps like this
and blizz probably thinks so too
@vale pine is my sim trustworthy if it shows 500 dps gain using pot of reck instead of lights potential?
@shy ermine grats 
recklessness is better in m+ if you get mastery
Oh I didn’t mention, I’m running a 5m single target patchwerk where this is the case
i mean, was it a bad melee tier?
Seemed odd that lights potential wouldn’t sim higher
think opinions always differ hugely whats bad/good
they are close enough
tyty
Yes. You actively removed as many as possible
8:38 for first lura kill is pretty crazy
if we reduce the tier to 1-2 fights, like only the march
would this change?
what about, only laura?
no and yes
well
depends on your time of prog
liquid played 3 melee on belo and 4 on lura
if dk wasn't hard required they would have played 2 melee
we’re 4 melee on crown and no shout. it’s not a good tier for melee
other high ranking guilds played 2-4 melee on lura as well
you can argue UH is basically ranged as well
i think post tuning a lot of melee are good
fdk is thanos
sub is actually quite strong
havoc is strong
ww
Yea
like, spread between melee and ranged
is 60% ranged 40% melee
which isn't that bad for a ranged favored fight
(current stats)
only 40% melee on a fight where most melee are just better now
A fight being melee or ranged favored is fine
The issue is when it's an entire tier
Extremely yes
Paladins, and alleria were being as little melee as you can
Alleria only had melee as a raid buff, and a dk grip
but thats only 2 fights
Beloren was also not great for melee. It was an immunity and burst fight more than anything and then lura was like, fine for melee
You still couldn't stack too many cuz intermission but it was fine
ah great
so laura was fine for melee
and the only fight that matters is the last boss of a raid
confirms it to be not a bad melee tier
No?
i am joking
but it was a line of argumentation we had in the past
so it holds a little trueth
I mean really belo and lura were just tuning things
being melee is just obviously a liability in this game
like a cental point in balance discussion was often
how certain fights would not matter because they are too easy
melee shouldve been quite strong on lura
or too early in the tier
but they took away the melee burst cleave niche from multiple melee specs and gave it to ranged instead
very curious
fury warrior found dead in the street after killing some adds in nerubar
ddh mm do the same and get a slap on the wrist
It is a super interesting area
because there is soo much variables, its never one or the other
eeh, so what rotation do we do on vanguard mythic? same as dragons with shadowstrike -> blackpowder or whats the strat
kinda same as hero ye
can anyone explain the reason of shuricken storming twice in deathstalker dance?
ah alright, we just managed to kill mythic dragons after around 80 pulls total over like 2-3 seperate days
Once, not twice
Melee liability? I’ve had way more issues on caster classes so far
its just deisgn spaces
historically, melee dps ended up designed to be better in m+
and ranged dps got designed to be better in raids
both changed to a degree, most noticably, ranged often ends up stronger in mythic+ too
Not sure if that was their design choice tho
Ironically the way they tend to try and balance ranged in raid (giving them specific mechanics) ensures you need a certain amount of them even on the worst fights so melee dont start getting those mechanics
mythic+ was about pulls, a lot of movement, interrupts and cleave damage

which is what melees ended up doing better (at the time)
but modern raid and class design is more complex, and things are not seperated anymore
So what’s my argument to switch to fdk over sub for belo
why would u swap to f tier
This is what i like to see when i log 👍
So we staying sub on trickester 🫡 aint got patience for 1100 haste
Dragons
i thought you would say paladins
i think sub still does more damage on the burn but not sure
its a bit shit timer for fdk
and no cloak for orb soak obv
The 45s?
Isn't sub on the same time as FDK lol
sub is a 20/90s spec, fdk/udk are 45/90
a 40s burn is not so favourable to a 45s spec
and ofc u can pool dance charges
- lust making sectec more like 15s
I mean burn is at 2 min no
u hold cds so the start timer doesnt matter
Fair
its just a bit unfortunate for the dks because they dont get a second usage of 45s
1min 
I don't even see takedown as a real cooldown I'm ngl
But everyone pushes the narrative that it is
Lwk chat I kinda cooked myself
I brought my hunter into this other group on a whim for Belo but we killed it and now I'm on lura
But thing is my guild wanted my hunter for beloren because of immune soaks
I also can't just give them my dk because my guild will want my DK for L'ura too
All of the bosses I mentioned were the hard ones
Paladins and alleria were prog points
Chimerus to dragons was not prog at all for most guilds at the top
saladbar is a fun one
i hate trying to parse on that boss
literally either padding or trying to get a good boss damage parse, both troll your group so hard
i do think people put too much preasure and importance into parsing
especially this late in a tier
if your guild progresses bosses still
nobody needs to parse high
i just find parsing enjoyable personally
people compete with guilds which let their players parse by creating favorable setups
it is a nice game
im also still sort of in the mindset i have to parse well because my main is a survival hunter
and i used to pug
like, if you are competitive, parsing is a nice metric to play for
and parses were my ticket to get invited to groups
but from my experience, parsing is many times ued in not healthy ways
and this can be fairly destructive or demotivating for your guilds players
and motivation is the main driving factor when you want to clear content
Imo parsing should be saved for reclear, and if you can’t parse without doing shit that makes reclearing harder, you should practice your spec more
parsing on prog (disregarding taktics for dmg) is dumb
back when i started raiding i didn't get to reclear u.u
i think we take a good approach private logging until CE
its quite chill
Oh shit DS is a thing now?
dats enough
ds is better in pure st, by about 5% (6% or so on reset)
It's a thing you can do to yourself yes
Tbh
Literally the only reason I preferred deathstalker was cut the witness and darkest night
But they removed cut the witness
😭
Blowing up your secondaries / having a different set of gear just for ST fights seems so foreign to me
if it werent for voidcores/uncapped crests i wouldnt
Oh yeah that sounds pain
all it took for me was using some myth track pieces i had sitting in my bags, crafting engi boots, and using haste flask
Yeah I guess with everything the way it is it's less awful
i had 3 crafted rings i think in lou
or bracers or something
diffy embellishments and stats
also not being able to autopilot raid fights makes em a lot more fun, at least until i get better at ds
Some ppl here are going to play DS on lura ?
likely
If NF didnt not proc on adds its tilting lmao
parses are also the only way for other guilds to get a first impression of you
your class sucks
