(Im joking)
Gotta hit him with the, now show priority mob dps
The ultimate gotcha of no context
Tank prob did all necrolytes route
You’re legally allowed to sue them when they do that
Blade flurry going from doing damage to 8 targets to 4, super dps hack
I yell at all tanks
wait I guessed right LOL
AINT NO WAY GWOZ WITH THE ALL NECROLYTES ROUTE WITH PHYS COMP
I included overkill
Oh LMAO
And awangs dps went up 50k
Because of how much blade flurry damage was lost throughout the key
Gwoz routes strike again my goat
Ye
i mean
ok but why didn't awang just hit the non 0hp mobs with bf instead? noob
chat i dont want to have 2 setups what i do ds only in farm 
grats on the kill last night 
well
i just did first 4 bosses on feral and
woah
that's so much more engaging than sub
😂
we did ye
its funny looking at ur dmg after a 10 target pull whatever and its like 250k
bf hitting dead mobs
That is true, like half of the overkill damage is from first boss alone, but the route did still have 5 necrolytes, which would make your overall look worse than if you only pulled like 2 total. Realistically it doesn’t actually matter because you still time the key fine pulling em
Realistically it matters because i dont like being mogged
Hmm good point I’ve changed my worldview
ty bro sorry about ur guild 🙁
yall did not deserve that
5 
It is what it is 
@hazy breach is there any shadow damage we do that wouldnt be buffed by dark brew's extra 10%? im doin some serious cookin right now
Builder clones
ok hear me out, how cooked would this be for last boss of seat
idk how to sim a boss like that so im going off vibes
symbolic victory instead of lingering darkness seems like it might be better because of holding for 1 min combined with lingering darkness not applying to the damage amps, but im definitely going purely off feelycraft for this one
Symbolic doesnt buff shadowed finishers or apex clones 

ok im still gonna try this build just with lingering darkness
i think pe is fine over warning signs as long as you have a shaman, but thats also vibes based
You have BL for one of the burns?
sometimes people like lusting the 3rd boss to make it safer, but yeah if you have lust, one of the burns is guaranteed fine
I think I will enforce lust on 3rd boss
but if u did lust Lura then warning signs prob loses a bit
Wouldn’t you just wanna burst damage Lura though
i think deathstalker burst is pretty good
being able to enter the burn with dn already up makes it burst harder than if you had to send cds on pull or somethin
i looked into cloud cover a bit for this fight but it seemed pretty meh
But what does lingering shadows do
If youre gonna swap spec should prob swap to deathstalker yeah
Backstab does 50% more damage as shadow?
Lingering darkness
Anyone using something other that oil? Currently have giga haste
790 no buffs/flasks/oils
does it become harder to apex DNs with PV instead of WS
or does that not matter because you'll be in blades i guess
I mean its for lura, he can stack up like 10+ sht before the phase
ya what eleem said
oh true good point
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I don't play outlaw like that but been learning it this xpac, is blade flurry useless against the necrolyte packs? I may be misunderstanding this, but if not, why is that the case?
blade flurry only hits 8 targets or 7 or however many it is
if its hitting the mobs that are invulnerable
thats damage thats not killing the pack
so like, if theres 4 invulnerable mobs getting hit by blade flurry instead of other mobs in the pack, you're effectively target capped at 4 instead of 8
Ahhh, I believe I understand it now, with no "smart targeting" on blade flurry your effective DPS is lower if you get bad RNG on what it chooses to target, things die slower, key goes longer. I didn't think hard enough at the why behind it, I feel sheepish, haha. Thank you for the explanation.
iirc they made blade flurry smart target at some point in either DF or TWW
because i remember this exact issue being talked about and then blizz "fixed" it
not sure if it's broken again
if they version diff'd blade flurry to hit dead/immune targets again that'd be pretty par for the course
the mobs arent dead or immune though
they take damage is the problem
its just that they "cant die"
It was so smart it counted dead bodies as a target
hehe yeah i remember that
It’s kinda insane to look back at some of the rogue bugs and how long they take to get fixed
yeah some of the sub ones were next level
yeo.
@small sleet have you tried eleem's DB build yet?
yeah i just did a key with it a second ago. idk how i feel about it yet. it didnt really feel much different, which i mean, it kinda shouldnt given its like a 1% swing and doesnt change playstyle
gotcha
i might try it a couple more times
i suppose maybe it would feel a bit better with the DB build in a very ST and evis spammy dungeon
i'm gonna try it out too
charrend was jokingly talking about dropping a point in dark shadow to take potent powder again in the db build
and i simmed it, and its like, 3% st loss for 3% aoe gain compared to the normal m+ build
so i might try it in maisara caverns or somethin where youre mostly aoeing
all in all, no matter how you change the talents you're pretty much doin the same thing regardless lmao
Can anyone share what their ui looks like, i was looking at changing mine but not sure what to do
oh shit ok

No you should use atrophic for raid
@small sleet 19 SR with DB build
i didn't exactly play this key very well
but yeah dmg seems not bad
MASSIVE instant poison dmg from DB
not bad pretty solid damage
wow
uhhh not great tbh
i mean not bad, but could obviously be a little higher
yeah i went into this with i think blades on something like 15-20 sec cd?
oh yeah doing your cds while running back and forth takes a lot of effort lmao
so 1 dance then blades
oh yeah and with surv and fury that boss isnt lasting long enough for 3 blades
haha yeah
but overall i like this build
well i guess it's not really any diff than the other lol
i feel like its noticeable when i reck pot in big aoe pulls
MMM
but past that it feels the same
i prob wont swap to it long term purely because i like potent powder and the idea of it lmao
LOL that's fair yeah
i also felt kinda useless on 3rd boss besides throwing out kidneys
its cool to have some variety and be able to use dark brew either way
i play 3rd boss full single target
and try not to help with the adds
at all
yeah i did the same
fury surv doesnt need help in your comps case
it just feels bad to see surv doing same boss dmg as me
just kidney when youre behind the pillar
and over double add dmg
id love to play surv as an alt right now if i had a group to play it with
SHEESH
hell yeah grats
can always just casually pug without the goal of hitting title
and just see how high you can go
yeah i decided to solo pug today randomly
even though i made the rule of not doing that
i think its fun if youre not worried about whether the key gets timed or not
i thought so long as i don't become mega tilted or become super addicted to the IO gain again
i'm good
yeah exactly
dude it's actually a lot better
i'm more relaxed in keys now
not worried about the IO haha
before when i was title pushing every key brick was so bad on the mental
i made this note "former title pusher vibe keying now"
for when i sign up to stuff
half the time i pug into keys i dont even need for io
and i just get io when friends wanna play
niiiice
that's actually a trap i fell into a lot before
i would always only sign up for IO keys
i knew a lot of people who would sign up for non IO keys if queue was dead or they weren't getting invites
and then as a consequence to that they would get more btags of good players or get invited to do IO keys after with them
overall a good move
yeah like right now all i need for resil 21 is skyreach, which is puggable and pretty easy in theory, but i dont really like pugging that key so i just pug into the keys i enjoy and reroll my key until i see someone i know has it queued up lmao
that's fair yeah
im a professional leecher
LOL
every key pusher is a pro leecher 😉
it's actually so funny
i know some not great players
who get really far because they're good at socializing
what's the word uh
networking
biggest thing that makes me a leech is the fact i cant play outlaw LOL
thats how it works in rl too though
no one wants me for push keys, and i dont wanna ruin their push keys
HAHA SAMMMMEEE
so i just wait til they brick it
so true!
prophet you are also playing in US servers from asia right?
being likable and fun to be around gets you very far
whats your ping at?
yeah i was pushing as sub back when it wasn't the meta rogue spec, was kinda rough on the invite situation
~200
idk if I am just bad at outlaw or it's really hard to play outlaw at that ping
if my ISP is suffering it's like 220-230ish
that's so true, that's MY superpower i feel haha
it is tough to play outlaw at that ping
the big issue is spell queueing
thats good to hear. I just felt like a fraud
I still probably am
nah it's hard
you have to find the balance on how to mash your keys
outlaw wants to be mega button mashing
well you need to react though
but if you mash with too high ping you fuck up spell queueing
i would always do shit like that, cast PS accidentally when i was at full CP
stuff like that
yea, I built a set and tried but idk man, I was doing worse damage than even assa
i think it's not worth it
having high ping with outlaw feels like playing that spec with your own personal affix noone else has
i got pretty good at outlaw at one point during SL
but after SL with all the changes in DF it became too much for me to handle
yeah i started DF S1 as outlaw and had to give it up mid prog
it was just too much
which was fine because sub was good on the final bosses of that tier
df s1 outlaw was so fun to me
yeah that sounds brutal
but also i don't have fast reaction timing
i inherited that from my dad
so that combo makes playing outlaw so bad
is getting a supercharged darkest night eviscerate on the opener rng
on the opener yea
gamba time
ok thought so
rest of time you can control it though

nice you're decently ahead of cutoff
that's really good
ive been getting carried by friends lmao
my buddy just got 22 resil done too, but i try not to bother him to play too often
niiice
you should have seen me hounding charrend for 20 DFC and ML during S2 TWW
LOL
i eventually got 20 DFC done with some buddies
and then edude helped me get 20 ML on the last day
like a G
i should've gotten title as sub rogue that season
ooo hot
what did you play?
i was tanking as vengeance
AHHH
and playing sub on the side as an alt
i was playing sin
for a while my rogue was higher io than my vdh
since it was kinda the melee arcane mage
i timed 20 ml pretty early on my rogue
oh nice
yeah sin was really good
same thing as sub LOL
TRUE haha
part of me misses rupture for sub just cuz i liked having something to do while the pack got together
i do kinda miss that aspect
i do like not having rupture for raid though
it felt like you were building up to your cds during gathers
instead of just mindless storm>BP
If my crafted bracer and boots are already 285, and I want to craft new engineering crafted haste bracers and boots,
Do I need another 160 mythic crest just to craft the same slot ?
yes
check your crests below myth, you can convert them up if you haven't already
to save some time
Yeah I'll try convert some hero crests
Wanted to try out death stalker
Pins recommended the pure haste gear on engi items
holy jesus people at the 19 key range are special
yep
got to the last boss of nxp with not enough time
because these people ran the timer down by dying nonstop
what happened to not letting keys tilt you LOL
I got told going right on skyreach skip is bad and i was so close to crashing out
Like hug the wall bro idk
Dont make me go left and grapple to the right side and quickly run across
i'm so out of the loop i don't know what this skip is
After 3rd boss u can meld skip the ele and bird
yeah the amount of times people fail skips because they don't hug walls enough
find weakness? not much
as trickster you can apply it quite easily not in dance with silent storm buff
as DS you consume silent when you dance
but your dmg outside of dance is kinda irrelevant anyways
you have 10 secs of FW after dance ends, and then as DS you're afking with 1 mark stack anyways
thanks
did anyone honestly believe that
including him?
i'm chilling now 😉
for now*
TRUE
Farming 240 crests to get 1100 haste : check
Still playing trickster because I wont change 20 days of /played muscle memory for the 2 remaining weeks of L'ura progress : check

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
@hazy breach so I tried the 2/2 Finality and Dark brew build for a 18 pits. Almost no difference in overall damage, so I know for sure it isn't a simbait 
i tried it too, seems legit
But how do I isolate clone damage from the other damages, so I know it juiced up my clones. Details?
not sure if details does any of that, logs do though
Yeah just checked details, not much
DB will just not buff builder clone dmg
eleem said they forgot to whitelist those spells for it
but it buffs everything else
sub does more shadow dmg than just clones, blades and shadowed finishers are both shadow too
This company murdered nimble flurry cleave, never forget that. We should be extremely grateful to even get the buffs on the rest of that 
lol true
Wtf are u guys cooking up
this tends to happen a lot, something about sub having all these different instances of dmg that are all coded differently or something
i'm not smart enough to explain it well
eleem cooked up a key build where you drop DM and PP for DB
it basically is a neutral build overall
except you do slightly more ST with the DB build, like +1.5%
imma lock in some sub keys
Enough of outlaw gaming
Its such a difference in invites though

i can imagine yeah
haha i've been in that boat before
How much crit do we want?
for trickster it is equal to mast
for DS it's the worst stat
Im trickster
Did you guys notice 1 bonusroll costs 5k?
turn your hero crests into champ into vet crests
Should i be making any adjustments?
Ive been gearing up alts and ive been wondering where my gold keeps going
your crit is kinda low
dont have much spare crests on freshs
but you're also low ilvl so your stat budget is smaller
its a very sneaky gold sink 
1 new alt = 30k gone
you can swap some mast into crit
Tell wife to be back in bed by 12
Queue up for some 18-19s

Finally get into a group
Mfw it's a Russian premade with 3.8K tank and a 2.4K heal and dps
dont we have more
you pay 5k for both
Ah
kinda free life im 21 no wife and a summer vacation for 4 months bro

Remember when sub was a prio amp spec. Just stack dance + sectech charges and spam eviscerates inside CDs.
As I said, we are still paying the price of zul funnel.
yeah i'm sad blizz won't let us go back to having funnel
i just found out ret pallies have funnel now
and was like wtf
500 keys in shadowlands season 2 because no wife no life full degen Covid lockdown WFH.
Someday......
Maybe when BfA is 10 years old we'll get it back
banshee's blight incoming
Ret pallies are the biological child of blizzard at this point. There is absolutely nothing that spec is BAD at
god could you imagine how good it'd be
SO GOOD
I've seen so many rets who make it bad though

nah there's no way it could be worse than goremaw's
Arcane Intellect doesn't only 'sometimes' work
If the raid buff only 'sometimes' works it isn't a raid buff 
Biggest fumble from me
I was not playing wow during covid
i started in nerubar …
(Them retooling it to be an aura we provide to everyone like mark would also be a valid solution)
I'd also personally accept rogue tank spec in liue of a raid buff but I think this might cause immense suffering to a lot of people
SOD tank rogue was fun
Wdym blizzard clearly mentioned death grip was a raid buff and dks aren't getting anything else 
Doing Lura without like 2 grips was quite hard
Isnt lu'ra mostly ST except for those adds in p1?
It is, but they're a pain without grips
Can have all the ST in the world. If these crystals don't die you're done for.
Question, waiting for the supercharged st while in shadow blades on the 2nd SD is always optimal? And in m+ is light potential the best always or for big packs? I saw that in the guide references the mastery potion for m+ packs
!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.
Thank you!
i would also just use light's potential
I’m guessing this is the exact same for DS because you might not even get a second tech in blades
besides lust you won't get a 2nd sectec in blades
i'm actually not sure what the condition for entering 2nd dance in blades is for DS
i'm guessing you want to have a supercharged DN
One Sectech in blades outside of lust
It’s just having dn up
Send it with dance immediately after
figured yeah, cool
Prophet did you end uo trying the eleem cook?
dark brew sounds interessting
!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 tried it and any differences from the normal build aren’t noticeable to me. Felt like my damage was practically the same, but that’s pretty much what it should be according to the sim. The run I ran it in the route wasn’t great and the run itself wasn’t very clean, so I’ll probably run it a bit more to see if it feels different with a better run
I see
Didnt have time to test it myself
Which isnt as cursed as still nlt havin guidon
Any degen theorycrafter already simmed .7 new power ?
Bruh I tried ds assa holy it makes a difference when a class has huge funnel
Hello friends, I was wondering why no one (not even at high level) was using this talent instead of tricks! A 6s aoe 30% dmg reduction looks good on paper.. right ?
is it .. bugged ? insert shocked pikachu face
well
no
acutally
technically no (as far as i know)
but it's usefulness is only really on paper
Most dangerous mobs aren’t able to be cced is one of the main issues I see
because yeah sure 30% DR is good
but what reldo said
any mob that can be cc'd can also be interrupted
so probably should/would be interrupted anyway
so all youre really doing is preventing tank white swings
and who cares about the tanks
TRUE
like maybe there's some random niche scenarios
like MT
and you do it on the healers that cast the dot
but it's honestly a lot of effort for not much noticable gain
Yeeah yeah I thought the same but IF a cast goes through, at least it can be reduced, while tricks brings "nothing"
i mean yeah
youre not wrong
and there's n othing stopping you from taking it
but in lower keys you're not going to notice its effect in any meaningful way
and high keys it's rarely worth playing around
well it'd require a lot of effort
i dont thikn you'd do pulls/cc chains around it
but im not a filthy p*sher
so maybe there's stuff i dont konw
alright, I was just wondering why because people over optimize everything and this looks like a case of "1st one gives you nothing and 2nd one sometimes in rare cases might give you something" so 2nd one looks better, again, on paper
I mean tricks is a dps gain because you can hit before the pull is together. Not as noticeable on sub but extremely important for outlaw
i did! it's not bad
dw you're not the only one to think this (i thought about it as well a few years ago)
and it's like
no one knows about what rogues bring anyway (because we bring nothing)
even if i bring it, it's not going to do anything
i rather just give myself QoL for playing this shit class
this
like the only time people realised rogues existance was the brief half a week when we dropped the poop cloud
and everyone hated it
you'd be surprised how many people dont even know about atro poison
SO TRUE
during DF and TWW
FUCK YOU DRATNOS
wait is he the one who's still spreading that propoganda
the other day a guy picked me for his key and when I arrived he said "ok I took a rogue just to skip those 3 mobs, alright tank?", we are truly useless
Now if blackjack worked on mobs who didn’t get cced by the blind it would be the most op shit ever
Good to hear! Are you on title range this season?
im pretty sure he mentioned it on donald dimensius
"and the sub rogue here, doing really good funnel in the intermissions topping the chart"
or something like that
hell no haha, i'm a shitter now in retirement
yes but then rogues would have useful utility and we can't have that
HAHAHAHA
no way
that's amazing
im probably parapharsing a bit
Only salatikue remains 🙁
but he definitely mentioned rogue funnel on that boss
reldo here is gaming
he's #3 sub in the world iirc
no I am washed up noob
when in reality we just had perfect timings on CDs aligning pretty well
Came back to my rohue 3 weeks ago
and he's very humble too
Never shoule have left
yuh pretty much
So are you going to be the guy with the crazy ass cooks or thats a privilege for assa and law only?
there isn't really many ways to cook sub with our talent tree
I know
I just want to see the fuu vs whispyr reaction to a cursed tslent tree
though
That somehow does good
Got another question for you intelligent people: elusiveness, does it work and does it reduces the damages of DoTs when using feint
the 20% from elusiveness works on everything
Perfect
and lastly: if blades has X sec CD or less, I should delay sectech. Whats X?
I sound like a math teacher ffs
i'm not sure if i remember the exact number, but the clones finish hitting within 1.2(?) seconds of casting sectec
something like that
it's more so fitting the 2nd sectec into dance
Ah no I didn't mean during blades
OH mb mb
I meant when its on CD but sechtech is up
yeah if blades cd is 10 secs or less
don't send sectec
obviously if you want to blades immediately when the cd comes up you can stop sending sectec and dance earlier
ok thats what I remembered but it feels better to send ST and delay blades (in m+ at least)
in general yeah that's better
Anyone know what that exclamation mark thing is for the expert mode sim? I think it was !FU or something
I’m gonna find a way to make deathstalker work in m+ just for you
I love you❤️
But
Not with ds pls
Would rather suck a dirty gym sock
Better gameplay

how to get 100 lmao
Any gear upgrade suggestions please?

either play out of your mind or rng it
Don’t invite FDK or DDH
Made a switch from assa to sub. Loving sub much more than assa even though I wouldn't think so. My question: how can I get my haste to 700 fastest with the gear I already have: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/character/eu/tarren-mill/mugilate/
Thanks! 😎
haste flask
Ohh didn't even think about. Great advice!
no worries, i'm here all week
Haha 😂 ❤
You'd want 800 until you get guidon though
Guidon is my next item on the list
oh yeah good spot
Great advices guys. Didn't even think about those things and was wondering how to get it that high with just items
you can definitely do it with just items
he has oils equipped already on his char
eg nexus point rings are like +280 haste together
so i think the haste is showing oil updated haste right?
not sure exactly how it works
Null and void plate for 58 haste (food buff)
neither. i would have thought oils not included at all
no idea tbh haha
or you could unequip gear except haste items and eat the highest secondary food for 64 🙂
omg true
Idk what the stats are on crafted 285 boots but probably worth looking at that too, could get some haste on it and just the iL upgrade would be nice
What about belt
Yeah
ok just tested it, it counts the oils currently equipped
belt idk if we're just purely talking about working on haste, would be +1 haste gain
so his haste is including oils
but in general good to upgrade still
all of the jank is solved by guidon tho so that should be giga prio
Yeah I'm hoping to get it this weekend from myth voidspire 🙃
Or vault
Have some voidcores also
Even heroic/champ track guidon would be big so try to focus on just getting the item rather than only wanting it myth for now
Gonna do heroic raid then also 👌🏽
Noticed some people for raid are under 700haste is that on purpose? Was playing around in raid and some m+ with some of the gear I have stored up now that I’m basically done with gear and oddly enough not running the hunt and being around 740 haste (which I could recraft my wrists to get to 700 or just under) but it feels better around that point personally unfortunately the dmg is kinda low I mean is that extra 40 crit really gonna make that up the dmg? Personally I don’t feel like it will
the actual breakpoint is 684
most people just round up to 700
Ah well okay that could make some differences I guess
slightly more haste gives you more wiggle room with your burst windows of not needing to play perfect to the ms
you're right though, converting that 40 haste into crit or mast will not make a huge diff
but it's better spent on the crit or mast tbh
Okay that makes a lot of more sense idk if I can get to exactly 684 but I can definitely get close to it with what I got in my bags. Thank you
haste beyond what you need to meet the breakpoint is not amazing on sub
Seeing a 3:2 crit to mastery ratio on your stats so might want more mast gear-wise as well @half apex
i wouldn't try to hit 684, 700 imo is better
but you can be fine at 684
Sims seems to want me to have more crit than mastery in raid.
crit and mast are neutral in ST
I wonder if sim makes crit more valuable because of that trinket's CDR function
I forgot the exact number but I think it I got down to 691 last night with one of the combos so I’ll go there lol
Only thing at this point I could change is my belt I think but I’m not going to go targeting a belt if I get one from vault cool if not then don’t care. Only thing I’m trying to get now is myth raid trinkets
oh wait that's a different person haah
who has that trink equipped
yee was still looking at the stats page linked earlier by the person i @ 'd
Perfectly optimized stats will gain you a little bit of damage, but if you feel like your damage is low it’s more likely you’re making rotational mistakes
yeah 40 stats is not going to be the difference in you getting a 97 parse vs an 80
hunt should also sim better than 2x arcanoweave
hunt strong
Yea I’ve already been comparing to logs the only big thing I seen was I haven’t been using vanish inbetween my first and 2nd dance window but I’m guessing I’m probably sending cds on the boss when I should wait the 2-3 seconds and use them on like the adds when they spawn in. Last night was my first night in mythic voidspire so it was rough to figure out the timings first time haha
I just figure the stats are easy swap around and the rotation will come more in getting more time on fights
Vanish is pretty irrelevant to our damage, I wouldn’t worry about trying to optimize your use of it
So shadowmeld is also garbage?
in raid yeah
it’s great in m+
Just changed my race 😎
It’s 3 extra cp in raid
Best race is gnome because of the gnussy
though orc racial works on that
Switched from human ☠️
I had a feeling like I was the only person in this universe running human
nah
me, with my 0.2% better dps 
Race doesn’t matter for the most part.
Lost by the 2% of being undead
wasn’t a bad guess. 
no race or gear will make up for me being incredibly bad at the game 
wdym
i can do both
i am talented, i can be bad at the game and have a underperforming race
(did not mean for that to sound like I was talking about anyone other than myself if it did)
haha^^
don't worry, we are just joking around
Why should you be any different than the rest of us self-deprecating dumdums playing rogue.

It’s what I hope for from the race change platform toy
Just realised that my macro that cancels Shadow Dance out of combat to get quickly back to stealth doesn't work anymore 
Female undead or male goblin
Wym doesn’t work anymore
It doesn't cancel it, so I have to wait for it to run out
/cancelaura Shadow Dance
is it becaus you have it set to only work when in combat
#showtooltip
/cancelaura [nocombat] shadow dance
/cast !Stealth
This the macro, mind you it's very ancient
So unless it's been changed, I don't know which part is not working anymore that needs to change
Probably don’t need the [nocombat] portion
!FUU
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
#showtooltip Stealth
/cast [nomodifier] !Stealth
/cancelaura [modifier] Stealth
/cancelaura [nocombat] Shadow Dance
i use this
guys is this neck even good for sub? simc said its only 120 dps upgrade
Sim doesn't work well with haste because it just hits the exact breakpoint, whereas players need more
!haste
Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.
alr thanks
It’s quite good, especially if you want to play 
You have to adjust your other gear (haste) around it.
Depends on what you compare it to also. If you already have a mythic piece, it won't be too much of an upgrade
yeah i just thought the passive itself looks good
Thank you! I shall modify the macro
It’s about instant poison good
at what point do i start pressing black powder over evisc? i seem to always do meh dps in duo fights (in m+)
sub cleave damage isnt great atm, so you'll probably keep doing meh damage in duo fights unfortunately
tyvm both
With deathstalker opener is there a way to line up getting 2 marks in each dance? Or that won’t happen I guess?
@short radish i got bad news
i managed to put together a pretty convincing sim you could use to make a case for ds in m+
5% aoe loss, neutral st, 50% more damage to prio target
im blocking you so i can't see anything else
LOOOOOOOOL
tbh
that cook doesnt sound too bad
5% aoe loss for 50% more prio is kinda... strong?
trickster sim
fuck
hold on
ds sim
not quite 50% more prio but close
and its like 5.3% aoe loss or somethin
i bet you could make it closer with some more effort too
Banned
need
for 
Is that with the standard ds gear profile?
honestly though that sounds kinda strong for algethars
no i cooked some shit
540 haste on the ds set LOL
The helly
stop
if you had 1100 haste your st would be significantly ahead
but its a lot of aoe loss to get that
I get that, but it's below 700 even 😮
you dont need as much haste for ds because no 1.2s coup global
Hmm, true
but also the sim i made isnt giving as much leeway as is normally recommended either
ima try to put together this gearset as closely as i can and run one key with this shit later today and see how it feels lmao
about to be the most budget assassination rogue cosplay of all time
aren't we worse cuz we don't get execute amp?
yup!
lmao i dont think this is actually a good build at all, i just wanna see how truly bad it feels
idk man this iteration of sub just feels awful to play
i enjoy it even if its a bit simple
I do agree there is something nice about it being so braindead, but the argument i'd like to make is assa didn't go anywhere
like why did they gut sub when we already have a simple spec?
they gave that treatment to everything
they wanted everything to be easy / easier accessible
idk man the 20 sec cadance just doesn't feel as impactful. I kind of get that they didn't want you to do 0 damage for 90 sec if you fucked up your burst window but this just feels weird
i loved tww subt but it was really unintuitive, i mostly miss old nimble flurry tho
I loved tww sub too but I much prefer the 20sec dance cds
subtlety got hit harder than some others because of simplifications
blizz wanted to reduce burst
like I get they want to simplify it a bit more, but idk, not giving anything to players who liked that kind of playstyle feels like a bit of an oversight
but (as usual) the game is too big to do it consistently across classes
same with simplifications
we never saw coherent chanegs across all specs, but thats to be expected when you have a limited amount of devs and time
but more than the burst, I think the part I miss the most about tww sub is having the flexibility to move the dances as you saw fit
wow builds on the illusion of fairness and balance
surely they'll give us 2 charges of sec tech next patch 
yea, taht could work too
they will just give sub rogue prep aswell 
or just reducing the cd for like 6 sec and only usable on dance would be cool too
prep was always an outlaw spell in ba sing se
replacing goremaws bite next patch!
goremaw is eternal only to spite the old rogue players
no one will ever pick it but it will never disappear
It has to be an in-office gag at Blizz hq
gloom blade 
For the 2-3 people who know it exists on the dev team
Gloomblade has at least seen play lol
dude, goremaw saw play in legion or something
i want gloomblade back its cool :(
its only been 10 years man
Forced bc of artifact weapon doesn’t count lmao
well yeah... cuz you couldnt avoid it
it was still shit tho
idk, they can buff the damage by 1000% and it will see plazy

i have officially turned sub rogue into a funnel spec
*if you can maintain 9 funnel mobs for the whole boss fight
That asterisk doing a LOT of heavy lifting
dont worry about it, just swap to low haste ds sub its the new wave
1100 haste players unite
@short radish r u here all week
i havent touched DS yet, but like what do you gain by switching?
for m+? not shit its not good
for raid? more single target but you cant cleave anymore
even for raid, if you want boss damage, isn it better to just swap to assa?
ds sub does some pretty crazy st
also, why is it just sub for lura?
no lol
probably more than assa
Assa single target isnt great
No im sleeping now. Gn
wtf
how cani get help if u r asleep
like not remotely
idk what specs do more st than sub right now
i cant tell you the last time ive seen a frost dk lol
how are you guys feeling about this tier btw?
ive definitely seen fdk doin really good numbers i just wasnt sure what their sim number is
It's kinda inspiring watching people still have hope
i still haven't seen alleria
they sim like 136k in m+ talents (they swap like nothing) 😭
i hate that everything is a fucking aoe pad fest
and I am not very gooda t sniping adds
sadge
Not a big fan personally
ignore adds and then look at ur b oss damage
I had to resub to transfer ownership of an in game community but other than that I'm clocked out for the rest of the expansion unless something drastic happens
Having the tier spread across 4 raids feels a bit bleh
it feels great to parse a 19 on damage and 89 on boss damage
This is what I’m contending with atm, minus the community transfer part
i think this m+ season is pretty good, but raid feels really boring
m+ hasnt been this good in a very long time, there is a clear meta but everyone else is really not super far away tbh
Yeah I’ve had way more fun in m+ than raid, and this is the first time it’s ever been like that for me
stares at tank balance
i think they also succeeded in getting rid of bolt slop
at least they get changes lmao
do NOT mention tanks
For now
they get changes, do they matter
no
i am stuck hitting moonfire and thrash
wp blizzard thnak u
Yeah the tank situation is a mega fumble
idk its better than most seasons
my ptsd from my 30 SR attempts because of RNG random casts 1 shotting 
dps ya
at least brew is viable too, most seasons there's only 1 tank
Healers are kinda rough too. Apexless mw dungeon healing 
Maybe look at why one tank is considerably better after a round of buffs to all other tanks and baby nerf to the clear overperfomer, from a dev perspective
Or ask Claude to
you know what this seems like the correct response tbh. I am also having so much second thoughts about playing the spec
now u have
VDH being obrderline unplayable
Prot war is 2-3 key levels behind the next key (cant even do title level keys reasonably bcuz they're that weak)
prot pal does 35k st in keys and is the weakest defensively
monk/bear viable but comp specific
and i didnt even manage to write a note about blood dk bcuz i forgot they existed
I’m def off the spec for s2

Unless something big changes for sub
bro the AI apocalypse is gonna be so funny
except it's gonna fuck us real good financially lmao
My fdk sim is 139k (with vantus)
dw there will be a bug that makes them do 20k more damage than they're supposed to
Going from TWW s3 to any other iteration of sub was going to feel bad but this current iteration is a miss for me
real. Like there were 5 things at least I liked about tww sub and the current version has only 1 thing going for it, which is that it's not a popular spec
tww s3 sub was good but man hitting backstab for a full minute sometimes was kinda sleeper so at least they kinda fixed that part of it which im a fan of
I greatly dislike haste breakpoints, I greatly dislike haste having opposite interactions for dance and Sectech, I dislike the lack of a good niche that isn’t just boss damage, the raid buff situation feels bad, the moment-to-moment gameplay feels unrewarding
Idk about correct or incorrect when it comes to opinion, but it's certainly how I feel. I'm tired boss, why did blizzard take away our low target cleave and then make a bunch of low target cleave fights? I know the answer lies somewhere in the fact that trickster was using the same talents and same rotation for anything up to like 4 targets last expansion but for them to just take that away? Nah boss, I'm tired. I also don't want to play ds and they're back on their "numerically buff ds until it's just strong enough to where the discord will bend over backwards to find a build for it" territory. Like literally all of tww
DS, for what it’s worth, at least has a little bit more going for it but in general the tree feels eh
you get to press sec tech/dance every 20 sec though :wew:
If only Sectech were TWW Sectech
bring back cool cold blood this one stinks
And DS doesn’t give a single shit about playing around Sectech
real
yea I mostly agree. sad thing is I think I am having more fun on my enha rat right now than I do aon my main
i miss cold blood
Which is a giga red flag
I woke up just to say that the backstab soup was fine. In order to have high highs, you needed to have low lows.
Now Im actually sleeping gn.

you get 20 sec cd ret now though
i hope you like it
cuz that's what we get now lmao
Ret gets funnel gimme that
no, fuck you. something something ghuun
I miss being the flexible burst cleave specialist
Fimbulvtr got heartburn and was wondering why so that's why they checked the sub channel 
what I hate is that we need to highroll on tuning withour damage profile now
Fights like Araz or even Soulbinder were awesome
like we had a reasonable chance of being taken if there was a big prio mob that needed to be nuked
now we don't have that niche any more
that was p fun ngl
Yeah. It was nice just sending cooldowns
Just need to main swap to windwalker now ig
If I wanna feel something close to that
Waiting for cooldowns and stopping DPS will always suck ass though
now we're ret #7. just press cds as soon as they come up or get fucked
Also playing DS lately and sitting at full cp waiting for enough sht to dance with
idk man my guild already has a dedicated WW player
With 100% less spell effects and button glow,fwiw
Wait guys, I thought we were more flexible now?
Or having to cancelaura Ancient Arts before sending for dance and DN
thats only raid. don't even get me started on the utility gap between sub and ret lmao
I'm more flexible but that's because I'm down 15lb of weight 
Ty devs
I changed my name color and dropped the coup icon for reasons
I don’t vibe with any of the three specs
I don't even know where to change my icon
the stupidest thing is that Assa is basically identical if not simpler than cata Assa
I cannot get behind playing assassination with its apex shit
A buff that does nothing for you during your cooldowns
What the fuck is that
Like
How
you get to squeeze out .2% more damge if you optimize it and not fuck up!
Who greenlit that
The only fun part is the combo point infusion from casting kingsbane
but fr I am gonna see if I can get off this fucking class next tier
Which is almost the same cp as a highroll mutilate
Also have fun with blades and Sectech next season without the extra blades duration and no more guidon
More haste breakpoints!
surely they will spare 2 hours for sub fixes for next season
or is that too much to ask?
u think it will take 2 hours to fix sub with that spagetti code?
