yeah
routing probably comes into account there
assi boss damage is a bit more dependant on tanks pulling mobs into boss
but that should happen on higher keys anyway
They prefer the term swashbuckler
I remember at the start of the season i saw a visual with the damage profile of every spec in M+, with a score for AOE and prio, cant find it now
I'm like 50% sure I saw that one and it said that outlaw had prio damage, so it's probably not accurate
Guess i missed that đ
I know how it sounds, but can you please give me a quick tldr of sub vs muti in low/high keys and low/high target count
2 seasons ago, and you would not like this season since it was in s1 and they made it somehow from a easy key to actual hell and prob the worst key
Maybe he wants that Power inBusion
right, i'm sedated as hell rn
what did they change?
Couldn't even say offhand
Just know I liked it s1 and I would rather throw my key in the trash than run it now
It did take some pretty big nerfs
Just this last patch
Could probably do with a few more
As a returning on and off casual player I have a hard time deciding between Assa and Sub. I started in wotlk with assa, came back in legion with sub (heroic raids and mythic+10 or so is my ceiling), then came back for War within season 1 with sub and finally now coming back and trying to decide. With 2 little kids at home I can afford to play 5 hours per week, 10 at most, will be focusing on delves and maybe some mythic keys. I know the spec doesn't matter here but you could give me some pointers for gameplay fluidity and overall enjoyment of the specs
Sub - nuclear bombs into noodle slaps into nuclear bombs
Assa - you get a bleed and you get a bleed and you get a bleed and everyone gets a bleed
I remember trying to time all cooldowns with sub gave me some headaches but I really liked the mobility with shadowstrike during open world stuff and dungeon pulls
I expect to have a similar problem with target switching with assa
assi has a really big problem with target switching
but sub also has a high skill floor with mananging cooldowns (you dont want to press off cooldown)
sub felt more fluid in legion to me than in ww season 1, but maybe because I had more time to play back then
assi is a lot simpler
to pick up
you just pick a target
and funnel into it
and never swap until it dies
sub is remembering how to do burst in shadow dance and also not pressing things off cooldown
i see, i'll experiment a little
end of the day
just play whats fun
do delves
then hop into m+ once you figure things out
yeah I plan to run the same delve with both specs a few times and it should be clear what feels better to manage while doing mechanics
attalad
just set bran to healer spec
and make sure to run over the health potions (stagger them)
and then yell at the screen because brann decided to pull some random elite
while youre in stealth
fuck brann
french i think
Anyone know the WA some of the top players use that tells them what to kick? Like uses all group CDs and AOE stops and makes it easy to callout
Omnicd for tracking aoe / kicks
And knowledge
You can also modify cast bar of mobs in platter
Nah it's not that
It's literally telling them who's next in line to kick with what ability
i have it
one second
this?
@sick sequoia just turn off the damn party notice, pugs will never pay attention to it and in group you just call it out.. ALSO youll realise how fucking dog shit people are with CC when you use this, enjoy
Oh you're the fucking man!
Like right now I track interrupts and also AOE stuns as well as party CDs and can see people are dog shit
But sometimes when I watch stream I'm like yo that seems like it's telling them who's kicking what next that's OP
problem is, if you dont all have it.. its useless
2nd problem is unless youre in a high group then people just dont know they have buttons
ive yet to see a priest use anything on this cc rotation
shamans totem just dont exist from what i can tell etc lol
fear of misery on a dh.. not bound
hey quick question going hardmode tazavesh for the first time on rogue, can you remove the root effect on mail boss with cloak?
is there a way to write a macro that uses a potion "A", or uses a potion "B" if A is not available
?
i mean in practice it would be to put in the same bind cookie and heal potion
use wl's cookie if available, else use heal potion
they are both usable at the same time so you cannot make a choice with the same bind. Health pots won't fire if you are full hp but you cannot guarantee that just by eating a healthstone
you can pick a bomb up->throw it->use sprint to catch it
but tbh, the entire mechanic should just be done in a 100% calm way with no rush, you should kill the boss before it happens a 2nd time anyway
i also think ( didnt tested it) that you can shadowstep with the bomb to allies.
But not to sure
4 DPS it and don't touch a bomb
thx so i did đ found out the hard way cloak doesnt work^^
i just dunno where to send it but maybe here
thats crazy(btw dont open the voice bc i just being shocked)
Tell me what i'm seeing so i can be hyped for you too
Huge and big damage, hell yeah
Hell fucking Yeah
this spec is not normal HAHAHAHAH
what ilvl/gear/stuff do we get with the 80 midnight boost?
645?
Youâre the goat
Hello guys! I just started my journey as assa rogue and I have a lot of fun. I have big problems tho.
Is there a weakaura or an addon that counts how long has it passed since the last combat drop and spams it on chat cuz my goddamned tank is chain pulling so hard constantly and gives me 2-3 restealths in the entire 35 min long m+.
just to remind him how bad he is ya' know...

mate
that shit doesnt matter really
and i can gurantee you that "i can get 2-3 restealths in a 35min long m+" is not a real thing
I mean you have two vanish charges and thereâs a ton of rp this season
and again, "2-3 stealths per dungeon" is just literally not a thing
99% of pug tanks dont play like that, its the opposite most of the time where they dont move their asses and you sit there waiting lol
and spamming chat about not getting a minor personal dps increase (that has negative impact on the entire groups dmg) is just obnoxious
It was on eco dome where my dh tank did first 2 bosses in 2 pulls. and I got a restealth in the desert part after the pack where enchanters can click the thing. That was it.
that's fairly normal yeah
but some of those chains are jsut stupid
I mean he chained 1 dog from the 1st pull after 1st boss the the 2nd sentinel
Thatâs what you sign up for with pugs, yes
Just gotta hold vanish charges for it
As you do the dungeons more often youâll get the experience
It ainât that bad
ive only ever had tanks ask me 'you good for next pull rogue' when I have been subtlety, when I am Sin its just... 'HAHA FUCK ROGUE'
tank waiting here
like
"guys do the orbs"
u dont see it
he is on console WITH an orb
staying like this 20seconds
cant stop laughing
any1 have ideas as to why my hands arent getting the glow effect from wearing these
They are probably too bulky
Dumb question if I do dailys in karesh on an alt do I get rep on my main as well?
there's a little thing at the bottom of each WQ that says one time warband bonus only
I am blind dont mind me
If I've killed plex and soul binder on mythic does that open up loomithar loot in vault?
yes
Wierd question, does anybody have a WA for enrage vs HP on boss timer. So I can see if my guild have enough DMG for example loomithar. I've seen it be used for lite fractilus by gingi on stream
what spec is meta for m+ now for rogue?
Combat is a dead spec don't play that
Hi is there anywhere that explains atrophic poison interactions in raids?
(Does it DR all damage or physical only?)
Itâs not physical only, but it doesnât work on everything
It works on most stuff for most bosses, but forgeweaver araz in particular has a ton of stuff itâs useless against
if i killed plexus and soulbinder in mythic with a pug i can't join another pug for loom?
No, because Mythic is an instance lockout and not personal. You're locked to that instance ID for the reset.
that sucks. so as someone who only pugs the only way to get progress is finding a pug that want's to do more bosses
damn
Yep
But it's unlikely most pugs will be able to kill Loom without building the group specifically for it
You also won't backfill so it's one shot and if someone quits it's typically gg
dose anyone know anyone on the pally discord
Yes, or you can extend your lockout each week and invite people to loom and further etc if your only goal is prog and not vaults etc
hey all! looking for mentor/etc, someone knowledgable in looking over logs etc to help improve. currently running an average score of 71.9% on heroic via wowlogs. DM me! Thanks! (ASSASSINATION MAIN)
If you go into the sin channel and enter !log it should start a thread and people can help you there
ok cool didnt know. thank you!
is anyone else able to get the tricks WA macro working? mine just does nothing
how you guys doing ?? kyveza? what's the tip for nailing down facing all her clones quickly
Backpedal when turning. Makes sure your char is actually facing the arrow
Also the further away you are from the shadows, the more likely you are to look at them in an angle that wonât kill you
The order they spawn in is also the order theyâll attack you, so you donât actually have to react
Never had an issue with it
how are rogues doing this seasoon in manaforge omega raid?
good
not outlaw
Good on the later bosses, terrible on the first few generally
im struggling to keep up with dks / wars / mages and locks on plexus sentinel mythic.
anyone have tips?
playing sub rogue
should i swap to assas for first few bosses though?
im like backstabbing while waiting for cooldowns feels rough
What do you feel more comfortable playing
only first 30s im top DPS, after that it falls off a cliff waiting for dance and blades again
i can play both really
I swapped to Sub for Araz and did poorly, I'd play whatever you felt better on
to be fair thats sub
sub does dmg during cds
and prepares for burst windows outside of cds
I think Assa stays a bit low until execute
thats what im doing, plexus has so much movement though. and im soaking / dropping orbs. using feint to help the healers
then its just energy starvation mode the rest of the time
but then the killtimer is still so fucked that you cant really benefit from that because suddenly 3 people decided to kiss the wall

I wonder what it tastes like though
like another betrayal by shadowstep
true
shadowstep killed me too many times this tier
those elementals at the end of the platform on the way to araz 
"hey, lets use vanish->sstrike on dimensius p3"
our tank
ran through melee
knocked 2 of the melees
into the boss
the fight is such a great fight nothing can go wrong
this owns actually
Just some powerful "GET OUTTAH MY WAY"
haha yes
yoyo, returning player since season 1. How are all the three specs? are they all around the same level in m+ / raiding?
Yes
Sub can stack a completely insane amount of stuff up when theres no timer involved for absurd burst
zac did about 30 million dps in solo boss with preparation, and boss died like in a minute
30 seems excessive for a pure ST fight, there was probably some adds or dummies involved.
But ye 20-25 definitely posible
30 was a max number, then it fell off to around 20 
What spec would you recommend for someone new to the class?
And has the least keybinds lol
arcane mage
I have an arcane mage, but I want to try rouge
sub rogue has a similar feel i guess
assi is pretty straight forward
get bleeds up
and funnel
ok ty
assa is like arcane
kingsbane is your main thing
like touch of magi
just longer cd and bigger dam
or idk how to say it
REAL FUN in low keys
Kingsbane? Low keys?
Hopefully those two aren't related
Kingsbane is a thing for raid
It isn't being used in m+
do we have a list of abilities affected by shroud? like BM's barbed shots not reducing BW cd and another ability from hero talent tree?
or shroud breaks BM only?
Literally only BM yes
wait what
Shroud breaks something?
Blizz intro videos for midnight should be âgo play TBC classic for the storyâ đ
hey guys, on my alt i dont have the option to skip to get the reshii wraps and when i try to get it vendor doesnt work
you act as if TBC had a story lmao
Tbf itâs been 20 years need a refresher đ
"hey guys, you remember Illidan and Kaelthas from WC3 right???? you can fight them now!!!!!!!"
thats the tbc story

well, not exactly
but that's what half the zones eventually boiled down to
the other half was the initial setup to light/void duality with Naaru
i miss belves being hooked up on fel
made them edgier
more fitting for the horde
huh? not even in high keys?
It shouldn't, bleed all the way
damn my info was outdated then
It's a S3 thing yes
Top m+ rogues were doing the switch from bleed during S2 because they needed more st
(and KB didnt even play a part in needing more st)
This season we have really really good funnel
So asking the tanks to bring adds into the bosses it's a W situation
My last priory 10 we had the tank pulls the 2 packs into the boss, ez 20M DPS overall from every DPS on pull
Just leave man
bro imagine i couldn't chose between 5 clases wrote down the classes on a piece of paper and made my wife draw she drew rogue then my kid drew and he drew rogue and then i drew and drew rogue if thats not fate idk waht is
no gotta decide on the spec
Clearly youre an outlaw player
Can someone explain to me why we use symbols of death first if it gives 40 points shouldnât we use it last
40 points? As in energy?
Yeah
The main benefit of it is a) it means you do more damage, and b) it supercharges combo points making you do even more damage
Wouldnât it make sense to use all your major casts the.n use it cause of the 40 points
Oh okay
Nah because it buffs your major casts by 16% and it gives you supercharged points.
I am wondering which spec is best for hardmode tzavesh? Is it still assa with pure ST build?
sub prolly with stacking up for netherprism nukes
I've always learnt outlaw when playing rogue, which of the three specs would you guys recommend for this season? Mainly m+
you can continue with outlaw
Do they all perform about the same?
all 3 have timed atleast 19s
but theyre not equal in all dungeons and depending on your setup
mage, dk or hunter as my 'main' alt?
all specs?
which spec has the least amount of dot gameplay woudl u guys say
Out of the 3 Rogues? Probably Outlaw

What's like the most fast paced
outlaw
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
which one is the easiest to learn? specs
Hey, what's a good addon to show what spells I'm using for friends watching on discord?
it is interessting that sub and assa have roughly the same amount of rupture casts
assassiantion probably
i think outlaw is super simple 
details has a timeline, you can else use trufigcd
there are weakauras for it too
possible, i can't judge as i don't play it much
isn't outlaw's problem rerolling
you get an addon for the roll
you can download a weakaura iirc to solve it tho
Never played rogue before. Interested in rolling an alt. I play a lot of more simple classes like ele sham,f dk, and fury war. Is assass rogue still the recomended spec for newbies? Outlaw looked fun but everywhere I read says it be can quite difficult
Outlaw can be pretty unforgiving. But the core idea is very simple.
funny, cus thats how i personally would describe sub
Subs unforgiving is u mess up cds u do shit dmg. Outlaw unforgiving is ur make small misstakes a lot u feel like u dont have resrouces and can't play the game.
Yeah sub just does bad dmg until next cds, on outlaw it feels like you gotta put your head in your hands cause pressing buttons dont do much anyways
So assass is the way to go if new to the spec?
i mean, play what you think is interesting 
assa is just the spec that will probably be the easiest to understand for most people right now
got it. thank you!
Also just hop on a dummy and try em out for a bit, one will most likely feel a bit better than the others
I was told that so many times. It didn't help.
Sub is more fun to me
Is there another Cata charge tomorrow?
I have a bunch on my Rogue but none on my Lock, I have no clue when I used them all 
are there any guides around on enchanting gear? don't really know much I started on TWW
like on how to get my shit enchanted and the stats I want, not how to level profession and stuff
Rogue Guides:
WoWhead: https://www.wowhead.com/classes#rogue
Icy Veins: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/class-guides
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides
they all have a consumable section
ahh k, did not realize that was on the guide, will check thanks
;p
hello, i have a noob question about mastery %, does rogue have a cap over 100% when using CDs? because i'm actually at 94% base from stuff and i wondered if i lose some mastery by getting over the 100% cap after i use whistle tea for exemple
it just keeps going up
so i can in fact reach 100% mastery and don't lose all the bonuses
you don't get 0 benefit past 100%. correct
eventually there is a diminishing return where you don't get much per point of mastery but the sim bot keeps that in mind and you're unlikely to hit that number anyway
but if i use lyly trinket + whistle tea + Flagellation and i'm at base 94%, i'll be way over the 100%, all of that will give nothing in damages addition?
oh, if it says like 170+% on your character screen that's accurate
you get all of that
okay, i checked with whistle tea and flagellation, on the char screen it's 120%
i understand
ty for your explanations
yeah. it doesn't stop at 100%
<-- with 30 stacks of flag | with 0 stacks of flag -->
nice
so now i understand more, guides don't explain that thing
maybe i'm too noob to know that xD
It's also something you don't need to worry about
Because you need to check the context
What's sub mastery? % increase on your finishers?
yeah
Then just think that your finishers in some cases are doing like 170% of their normal damage
Depending on mastery
yeah, with that in mind i can be more precise with my big finishers
- i saw what passives shows when i boost my mastery so i can track them
In theory you also don't think about it, you just need to think that if you have flag + Shadowblades + active trinket + potion (your big CDs) you will be doing a LOT of dmg
As sub you only do big DMG every 1.5(?) mins on your big CDs and moderate damage on your solo dances ( @tough swallow correct me if I'm wrong)
You do backstab soup in-between dances, but big damage while dancing and your biggest damage during the cooldown windows every 90 seconds
subtlety (and assassiantion in single target) has burst windows every 90 sec
the main damage is during them, you essentially hyper optimize for it
yeah big damages with secret technique
and setup with shadow dance, flag, whistle tea deathmark ect..
still, it's difficult in single target, i can't maintain more than 2M (sometime less) in m+8 i know it's a rotation problem, but trying to understand how things work is a bit overwhelming, but i like too much rogue
for example, i think that i use too much energy in non burst phases, then when it comes to burst, i often don't have whistle tea up because of the automatic use
max lvl players
raiderio have a similar stat, i assume it should be accurate on raiderio
Probably right yes
to see someday rogues are behind evokers
That's most likely a rotational problem, try checking wowhead or the #subtlety-faq
Wouldn't change a thing for me, so it's whatever
i'm binge reading the wowhead guide since 3 days, and just noticed that fuu wrote it xD
Yeah fuu's the homie
the goat
i found that the fraction% of worldwide are quite different from CN
CN is more like a private server
let me grab a picture
CN is totally different, they don't have vault, they choose their loot by earning points ect
so some class outperform way faster in early season
yeah, in china it's considered like a lootbox since u pay every month to play
and the game isn't 18+ so teens can be in the game
then no lootbox, no money game
iirc, they have the same system we got for undermine, with the pnj trading coins to have raid loot, but they gain "coins" each week
then they can buy
Idk if that's good or bad honestly
idk, anti gambling law is somehow not a good thing for the vault, since it's just one item per week and not a reliable way to stuff yourself, it's cool, but certainly not something ppl abuse
i can understand with lootboes from overwatch, but vault is wild
Outlaw vs sub can't decide how does the playstyle compare would u gents say
i can't even decide what i'm going to do today to be honest
For m+ that is
Sub is big burst in cds healer damage outside of them cds have a set sequence. Outlaw is fast and reactive but no burst just go go go all the time.
do i have to hold the group so i can restealth in outlaw or its not a thing
i once played with a rogue had to childl in between each pull
I donât know as I havenât played outlaw in like 5 seasons
you don't need restealths as outlaw
wasnt asssa suppose to be op accordign to kira at least
assassiantion was nerfed and has some dps bugs
but for raid, subtlety just makes a bit more sense on the last 2 fights
i made a comparison earlier today for subtlety to see what fights its good on based on wcl
and its mostly the 2 last fights
for mythic+, both sub and sin still compete and are played
tho bottom line its better to play what you feel more comfortable on, all 3 perform well enough to be played
Never played rogue outlaw sounds fun but ppl say it's incredibly unforgiving
Can't find any vid guides either
the only spec thats more forgiving is assassiantion
if you manage your cooldowns wrong on subtlety
you also do no damage
which is fairly common from what i see in logs people ask me to look at
Why wouldnt it be
it says predicted to be in many sentences i assumed it was written on the ptr
For EU is current manaforge vandals renown 6?
Yep
Started doubting because i gained rep towards 7?
wtf hackerman
A mystery. You've somehow lucked into a bonus 250 rep!
maybe its some scuffed DMF thing
Wouldn't be surprised if it was, actually. That would math
likely he missed some because of the bugs it had and blizz put the extra in
got my first portal on outlaw đ
Congrats!
how are your hands
congrats!
they hurt slightly
i exercise my wrists and grip strength before playing
đ
Off topic of rogue, but why is that for example frost dk has a very very low priority of versatility and also top dk players have very low amount of vers yet for one of my friends versatility sims very high?
He says sim is wrong
could that be posibble?

No one knows whats correct
If sim says vers go vers
If you know you can trust the sims
if you stack other stats like crazy and ignore one, ofc the ignored stat will start to be more value
i hecking love shields
yo dumb question
is the move hero interloper or myth track other boots
sim says i have biggest dps gain with myth helmet and keeping myth boots by like 1.6%
should i be running a diff type of sim
is there an objectively best rogue spec atm? i play assa and sub, never played outlaw tho and swapping rn would be a pain x)
like ive tried both in 14s and shit but like sub always seems to do a lot more dps than assa, not entirely sure why, even tho im much better at assa than sub still
hmmm alright
Ngl assa should be higher in overall atm
But sub has much much better pure st
But if your tank is pulling good for assa it is very very strong atm
Sub doesnât care about route nearly as much as assa
how the tank pulls plays a big role in your overall output and can decide how many times you can proc the first dance
so subtlety cares about route too, but it can easier adjust
the one spec that does not rly care is probably outlaw
Yeah i think it is true for any spec that route + tank skill is one of the biggest factors in your overall
Yeah but even here u could think up stuff like doing huge 20+ mob pulls into non cd pulls of idk 4-5 mobs which would be bad for outlaw
But even here outlaw would probably not be dealing much less dmg true
outlaw is better if you pull smaller groups
but in terms of cooldown design, group size matters the least
ofc all 3 benefit from restealths
Relative to the rest of the group yeah
with subtlety being the only one which has extra dependencies to that
(because tfd requires a 6 sec timer on top of the restealth condition)
the timer just means we think of it diffrently
inherently if you look at rogue, one of the big topics always discussed is how bad it feels to not be able to restealth
depending on who you ask they will tell you how unplayable a spec is without it
i saw this quite a bit especially in the #assassination population
yet, relatively seen. TfD has a high impact on your output too
but the conditional makes it more of a "nice to have" instead of a "unplayable if you don't get it"
so it changes the framing of things, even tho its just looking at it objectively a way worse implementation
True
show the damage meter of prot pala
they've annihilated prot pala damage 

Whoa nomad
Havenât seen that pic since 2013
Best game ever btw
bruh when is clas tuning coming
I'm curious about the Rogue rework in midnight. Might be substantial if they felt the need to specify it in the expansion reveal
what rogue rework
like, good chance that rogue gets something, but there was never a single word said
we only know outlaw is being looked at
wondering if they gon fix some bugs or nerf smth
Bug fixes is not the same as tuning 
Class and Talent Changes: The Rogue class is getting reworked
From the icy veins midnight hub
What does icy veins know that we don't

Id wager they know a great deal that we dont

Ion told me they are reintroducing the spit emote, but it only works towards goblins
mass blind is not working on nameplates with big debuff ?
as soon as they release goblin druids and dhs, ill be able to play all my toons as goblin
are you talking about the xalatath orbs? they have a weird interaction with aoe blind. you have to blind a mob that's near them and can't blind an individual orb
no just talking about buffs showing up or not on nameplates :p
you have addons to show in big icons near nameplates all hard CC, helps a lot in m+ for CC rotation
but my mass blind is only showing on main target, not on other blinded targets
Now I want to know which orbs you are talking about ^^
oh I just mean these https://www.wowhead.com/affix=148/xalataths-bargain-ascendant @upbeat dew
While in combat, Xal'atath rains down orbs of cosmic energy that empower enemies or players. A Mythic+ dungeon affix from World of Warcraft: The War Within.

Recently i've seen reddit posts/comments about how when opening the tmog vendor the game kinda crashes for a few seconds. Anyone dealt with this?
haven't had issues, but the game has a lot of memory and performance problems this season in general
torn between wanting to do remix and looking forward to a long break from wow before midnight 
Lemix
is it pronounced "Lemix" in one word
or french Le'mix
Hey, anyone got a shadowstep @ player macro u can share?
Hey guys, prospective rogue and enjoyer from a distance, if there was a rogue spec that has good agency (in realistic terms) in M+ & Raid which of the 3 specs would be the best to jump in as a novice?
assassination probably, altough all 3 specs are hardish in m+
raidwise assa is the easiest
The "hardish" part is that mainly around the CD usage portion or like tanks chain pulling with a rogue needing stealth etc?
Rogue doesnt REALLY need stealth if the tank plays well
we also have 2 vanish charges if needed
I can't really talk about sub or outlaw, but while playing assa, there's a bunch you need to do when you're doing AoE
yep 
Outlaw is high apm and needs high uptime and is very punishing for mistakes
Sub relies on doing it's cd windows perfectly everytime and dungeon/pull knowledge goes a long way
Awesome thank you! I was thinking of focusing Sin first and then Sub being the secondary spec to learn.
steady progress pog
played a key on arms warr
bros wtf
was just mindlessly smashing glowy keys with 695 gear, absolute garbage trinkets too
still decent overall and felt like I was unbound from the world or something
switching targets because I want to
just bursting adds because why not
what the fuck
I'm sure if I set up some WAs and spend a week practising and get actually decent trinks I'll be hitting about as well as I do on my 713 assa
except like
with no limitations
you dont like the unique playstyle of having your entire heroic tree tied to a debuff on a specific target?
not only that
like it feels as though actually everything Assa does
is working around limitations put onto it
DSM, having to stealth for IC or manually tab-Rupture things, having to keep up Rupture on multiple targets for Scent and for energy, having to spend CP just to stun a single target, having to Muti a target with Rupture in AoE to apply cleave
legit the only thing that's superb is defensives, Warr's defensives suck in comparison
Yea, each rogue spec feels like it has a unique factor to it, but the dev never asks if it makes it fun to play
S2 arms colossus warr fried my dopamine receptors to hell with how fun it was
kinda feels like it right now, yeah
lots of things that set Assa apart from any other spec I've played
but a lot of it is just the design going "ok you gotta jump through several hoops to actually get there"
and the end result is, uh, decent damage I guess
like it's not bad by any means
but I've seen BM hunters pump way more by pressing four buttons and remembering to breathe once in a while - while also bringing BL and more CC
figure I'm starting to give into the doomium about the state of Rogue atm
maybe there will be some reworks in midnight (lol)
would llove to see a day where sin's CDs and heroic tree is tied to a personal buff like every other spec
yeah it's late enough in the expac that I'm not really considering rerolling or anything until I see Midnight changes
but I figure I'll just finish my seasonals and try some more warr while I have the time
if they ask, sub is fun to play

it being optimal to essentially stop dps 10-20 seconds before major CDs seems like a bit of a design flaw
i see that as a design feature
it's unironically one of my favorite parts of sub
at least in raid
being able to take a break mid pull
no other specs allow for that
Was it a design flaw that Goku had to charge up before going super saiyan???

? goku was a ret paladin
You insult Goku like that??? Think he's a fucking casual Andy pressing pretty light up buttons ez mode???
So which one's sub rogue? Piccolo because he's cool and bleeds purple?
Rogue is consistently one of the least played classes every season, despite having existed since Vanilla. Why donât you currently play a rogue? I once played a rogue and very much enjoyed it, but all 3 of the rogue specs currently are just ridiculously overcomplicated for no reason at all. They used to be a lot simpler and easier to understa...
thanks i just lost 5 braincells reading some of those comments
Its usless unless I use the poisons it wants me to use and there are times I want to use others
yea, i found that irritating too. especially if you are in the middle of a fight when a poison runs out, lol. other than that though, SBA has been working pretty good for assassination. ive just started leveling this rogue to 80
I donât like Sub anymore ever since Shadow Dance was introduced.
17 years of dislike
one comment said they disliked high APM specs and the first spec was feral druid
i mean ok..
and there is the obligatory combat rogue mention
if only there were conditionals for stealth you can make in macros
what you m ean i need to study an IT degree just to play a class?
yea, you also cant just make your stealth bar exactly like your normal bar
impossible
tbh this is a bit funny because of the current stealth animation bug which also fools macros
why are you doxxing me?
i see you in your dino onsie
my mum bought it for me
wife's boyfriend also got you milk and cookies at the side there
i mean if you say sub rogue has a boring theme MAYBE
cause it;s just muh shadow ninja but not really
but outlaw is quite distinct from other specs in the game
i feel like that person doesn't understand what sub is actually doing. summoning shadow clones is dank
sec tec's animation has been toned down recently no?
you can barely see it now
if it was like kyvessa's dark massacre that would be cool
i think a more legit "boring theme" would be our hero talents
considering fatebound is just a nothing burger hero spec
i dunno im just puzzled how you can think a thief using a bunch of shadow magic is boring
other than sec tec it has nothing else thematically
and sec tec also has like a combined pixel count of 3
and im talking about vfx
ok but we're talking graphics and animations which is a bit different than a spec's theme
which yea, rogue is on a bit boring side graphically except outlaw cause pew pew
yea the theme is there for sure
it just doesnt express that theme well
im just hoping hero talents in general that are BOTH visually weak and non gameplay invasive get a fresh coat of paint in midnight
sub would be pretty easy to spruce up graphically if one wanted, no idea what you'd do with sin though
hero talents that you basically need details to even know you have it on
like wildstalker feral
they did a good job reworking pack leader
Bleed and poison splash effects
Anyone knows how to make a target count trigger I wanna mek a weak aura that tells me to flurry at 4 targets + but can't seem to find a target count trigger
!wa
Rogue WA's:
Wago.io TWW Rogue
For more specific Rogue WeakAuras, run the !wa command in your preferred specialization channel.
you need a custom event for it
Not sure if this is a general question or more spec specific, I am currently playing Outlaw but wanting to try Assa or Sub. Given Outlaw Stat Prior is Vers and Mastery is lowest prior.. How important is the stat weight when trying the other specs?
1st comment being about us being squishy as well xd
not the comment you screenshotted but on the thread
so many mouthbreathers in there
Assassination wants ilvl above all, sim the rest for the best results;
Sub is kinda on the same boat but doesn't really like haste, so versa mastery and CRIT on the side are ideal, but again, sim it
a lot of people thinking that if you don't have the ability to self-heal from 1% to full between damage events, you're squishy
meanwhile rogue just doesn't let things bring them to 1% unless the healer is either dead or about as close to dead as legally distinct
Wowhead and reddit really do be trading off who has the worse rogue takes
They have different types of dents

Shroud being usable would be a nice start
Id honestly prefer them to not give us (or anybody else) more aoe stops, theres too many and theyre too frequent as is
Aoe stops on 20s cd is wild
True, but it is either remove others stuns or give us more
And i agree for the game it would be better to tune down the amount of stops
Is kinda cringe to have super long cc rotation every pack
Kidney shot ignoring DR is my suggestion
nah give us aoe stun so we have some baseline utility
Because it feels ass using a couple of globals only to stun for 2 seconds as others have already done 2 aoe stops
that's more on dungeon design ngl
counts are insane this season, like even if there's a skip, it's unreasonable because you can't skip anything important and skipping trash means you gotta pick up count somewhere else
or give us smokebomb back
problem is that
if you introduce skipping again
then its back to OMG WE NEED A ROGUE FOR EVERY KEY
which i wont say no to
Is the talent about kidney giving 10% increased dam still a thing?
For outlaw, but its 5% iirc
Okay, so skill diff then. Kidney should always be used first 
not really worth playing around as well
any mob that can be stunned
isnt going to be a prio target
well if they don't want that
then remove shroud to begin with and just give us something useful
because right now we're between hammer and anvil - only utility is skip and numbing, and skips aren't done
You honor, I would like to put on the record that Fimbulvetr is saying no to free dam
they just dont want people to play rogue
I mean there was a massive amounts of skips last season
So saying "people dont skip anymore" is kinda wild
its pad!
Yeah either that or make it aoe
idk
is like 5 skips massive?
Your honor, he is doubling down on saying no to free dam!
what skips were there other than bubbles?
wasn't bubbles a non-shroud skip to begin with?
honor? i hardly know her
yeah but it's still a skip

well I don't care for skips that aren't about shroud, because that doesn't do jack for shroud
same
Shround is kinda like grip except they don't design the game around it

they do the opposite
shroud-based skips last season were like
five across like the whole dungeon pool?
I wasnt talking about shroud skips
oh
Guysm, lets be honest, shroud is just a poor mans roar now. Yall are druids 
i thought there was some invis skip stuff still
stop shilling for druid
Only on sub tho
bloody feral mains
Give us thieves cunning back so we buff 3% crit and haste
shroud is a better roar as well
yeah non-sub shroud does jack shit
Guys Eleem is cooking just u wait
Idk i said i wanted shroud to be useful, people respond to me arguing how it isnt useful

Sub is the only real spec because it's purple
because you made it sound like there were skips and by extenstion shroud
and got our hopes up
@noble kestrel
because we're not p*shers here
So u want shroud to do something else than stealth?
thats cringe
Well he said you cant do skips anymore because of percentages
And i said thats just wrong
this season, I said
You cant do skip with shroud because every single mob sees invis
there are many skips this szn
yeah my mate was saying that devs watch ppl play ptr and anytime they skip they just insta put eyes on the mob
It does sometimes feel a bit targeted
like what
I honestly haven't seen any aside from like
very rare stuff like "skip the first pack in priory" and "skip the two stoneguards in Gambit"
sentinels in eco dome,gambit b4 first boss, priory first pack
sentinels skip, you mean, path through the center of the room to not fight one more?
sentinel in eco dome only works if you distract him and make him turn his back towards you
no
the first sentinel
b4
never seen that one, but I'm not a pusher so
Theres also still the floodgate ones
IE the 2 shredders and the 2 jumpstarters at the end
yep
The star guys at the end of gambit didnt see invis for most of ptr
Then they added it so now you cant skip past the first ones
But yeah idk, too much shit sees stealth
unfortunately people dont know u cant directly walk through the mobs :D
had that happen once
someone walked into mob
then died
then go "did stealth fail"

anyway
shroud is a weird utility even if it's usable
because like
it contributes to the overall goal of the key
but it doesn't actually do anything related to clearing the challenges, you can just avoid something troublesome
but if the design is for you to actually fight the troublesome thing...
Doesnt that fit the rogue archetype way better than having an aoe stun?
then it can't really be that bad
imagine not abusing warstomp guys?
tbh if the game was actually designed by thematics, Rogue would be either the most useless or the most useful class
Ngl shroud will never be enough utility even when it allows u to do skips
There are too many ways to do skips anyway
And atleast atm the skips are pretty meh
that's what I mean, yeah
like it will never come close to having BL or BR, it's more or less equivalent to having a small damage buff
unless the dungeons are deliberately designed so that you have a Shroud opportunity at least twice per dungeon and it does save like a couple minutes that way
which will never happen because that will make a Rogue seem mandatory
(and the kicks aren't even that good, it's just default melee kick with no improvements)
True true
but it doesn't last more than 0.5 seconds yeah
so it's just a stop+30% damage down for 5 seconds
I don't know why they don't give it a minimum duration of like 1s or so
in general I keep returning to the thought that Rogue kit is very limited by the fact that their CC/utility is still decent in PvP and therefore they don't want to buff it for PvE because that'd make them better in PvP
Yeah
Monkeys paw. Your kick is now ranged and you shadowstep in order to kick enemies at range, putting your step on cd.
It should not be that hard tho in pvp st stuns are good in pve aoe stuns are good
...brudda that's just how you kick spellcasters to get them into the pack because ranged are braindead
so is it on 25 seconds CD like step
or 15 seconds like kick?
because the latter could kinda work (even if it would be very fucking stupid design-wise), I think
I mean
Nahh baking that into one spell and forceing tp to kick is insane
Are you aware of the phrase monkeys paw
yes
oh, right, worst possible outcome for wish phrased, right.
Yes. So now it's not only a regular melee kick, but it's also dogshit
...wonder if I can get away with swapping MA for Iron Wire
S2 felt a bit better when I could at least make the casters shut the fuck up for 8 seconds at the start of the pull
oh okay so we're now a feral druid?
I never presumed that Blizz would listen to my advice to begin with
blizzard listens to advice?
Consider yourself shilled

Just figured out u can skip a bloodguard b4 2nd boss in Arakara with shroud too
see, the thing is
you'll have to get the count elsewhere and Ara is already tuned like hell in terms of count if you don't want to turn back after 3rd boss and do another pack
and that guard+little guys probably is the least threatening pack in the last 10 minutes before him
yea just sayin its doable
doesn't he have truesight?
Works the same like the sentinel u have to distract him so His back is facing towards you
he does
Sentinels have eyes too
is this sub-specific with the speed boost so he can't react?
Not sure i only play sub
I see
Oh shit I gotta test that later
So you just shroud and run?
Errr
Shroud, distract and then run past?
Sounds like it yeah
Truth
Any one got custom trigger code to activate on target count ? I basically wanna make a wa for flurry that lights up when to press it but there's a target condition however I can't find a target count trigger
you can use my target in range weakaura as baseline and work from there
however
if you don't know lua/custom code it won't be easy
guys someone know how to move chattynator?
i can just fix his size but how can i move him
is there some new "decline every rogue" meta? i get instantly declined in some +10 keys with 716 itemlvl
nah, that group was empty for over 5 mins
Hi! Little question what is the best for Rogue Sub or Assa ?
Yes
best for rogues is cats and a lot of money đ¤
its me, i am the best rogue. I am so subtle my logs won't show up on the top 10
(there is not best rogue spec, each boss has at least one thats better)
Did they update the points we get per m+ dungeon ?
I just ran a key that I already had and gained 40 points
I just logged in and got 3k achievement... I was still about 35 io short
just go sub if you like playing that,its best on almost everything.
is there a way to macro tricks @ tank?
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
This does it for you automatically, otherwise you'd have to change the name in your macro to the tank each time the tank changes
this isnt rogue specific, but anyone know a good way to see if someone is swapping players on the same account? There is someone who on 1 raid day is insane, top rank 1 parsing, never dying etc and then another raid day is like they dont know where their keys are.. uptime dif of like 20% on abilities etc..
big thing to 'claim' without evidence right? but is it possible from logs? They also never talk during raid lol
like CPM almost doubles from 1 raid to the next and uptime on their abilities go from 80% to nearly 100% etc.
How much dps should I be doing in keys? I did a +12 and ended around 6m dps 710 ivll?
it really just depends man, pulls timing etc. 6 mil in a pug 12 is fine though
the dungeon can easily change it as well @twin heart
I dont think you can check only blizzard can with checking there IP of the account and see if hes swapping
Okay, thank you. Yeah I dont really know where to time cds, but idk how much dmg other classes do. Unholy seems kinda insane
Im spiking pretty close to what i can do on my equally geared unholy on big lust pulls. Maybe a bit less sustained on bigger pulls. But way better boss damage then unholy
Helloo rogue's friends... 1 question, i wanna try high m+ with friends( arcane and boomy) is better play assa or sub for this comp?
i heard m+ rating got fixed. But the app is not showing it yet. Do we need to reinstall it?
Just wait for them to adjust it
So are all rogue mains souls-like enjoyers? I kind of want to be a rogue main but I also tend to do leveling, questing and everything in tank spec cuz ez mode ez aoe ez life
Not all, I dislike souls-like, rogue since wrath with a few years of breaks in between
stealth is life
same i also hate souls-like
I think it gives me the same kind of experience - getting one shot by enemies in souls-likes, and getting squished leveling my rogue because I pulled like one extra mob⌠I also think itâs a similar learning I need to do - chain stuns and stuff to avoid deathâŚ
the levelling experience is only temporary
But soloing quests, soloing elites etc, itâs quite a bit of max level too before I get geared to the level I aim for, where Iâm strong, and even then isnât the solo questing and farming harder? đ maybe Iâm just slippery sloping đ
I can't remember a single quest/world quest I've not been able to solo besides the world boss
you have a lot of tools in your disposal if youre talking about delves
if youre getting killed by melee youre either overpulling or too low ilvl
or maybe you arent picking up the brann potions
delves are lowk my favourite part about wow tww
nemesis bosses are peak
solo'd a start of the expac world boss last week
the shadowdude in the depths
I don't doubt it, but I was talking about current content :3
Alright, it seems Iâm just scaring myself based on how weak I experience my rogue leveling.
levelling means nothing anymore
guys hi can someone answer how can i put debuffs on right side enemy plate hp bar
Guys, anyone can tell me why background of dungeon finder lines turn redish despite there no role contradictions? (eg. you tag in a key, he take some people but there's still a spot free for your role and already cr+bl but the background turns redish). Idk if I'm clear
Do you play any other roles? Sometimes when I swap from my healer to my rogue itâll remember the healer filter
If you turn off all your filters and apply them again it might fix it
ur filter settings
only filter i got is "free rogue spot"
then they accepted another rog before you? :p

Is there a way to turn off that stupid gravestone thing in delves? Sometimes don't want my friends knowing I stayed up till 5am and died in a delve.
Nope lol
Hey, just a quick question. I seem to break out of stealth for no apparent reason. Like i am just walking around and it breaks. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Are you wearing that one intellect dagger that siphons from stuff?
Get an agi dagger
oh yea
What belt are you wearing? Is it the DISC belt with the bolts? Because that also shoots random stuff

Say, I don't see any MoP classic section, if I have questions I put them in the "spec discussion => subtlety" category ? Or is there some sort of Ravenholdt classic ?
(Also Hello, how's everyone doing ?)
#classic-discussion This is your best bet in this discord.
You can also check the pins under that channel and find more dedicated discord servers for classic WoW in general (which might have MoP info)
Thanks a lot, I'll try that
You might also google Simonizeshow discord, also a great source of info for classic wow and i'm 99% sure he has mop stuff
Thanks, I'm having a hard time figuring what I'm messing up in the rotation and it's driving me crazy to not find it
I really hope they can help
if anything
check his youtube channel as well
Thanks for all of that, you're a legend
is dexter morgan a sub or assa rogue
abit of both I would say
declined declined declined sadge
Sub or assa for lfr and low key mythic+ pugs? And delves. Or just play whatever
Literally does not matter
Was just wondering if one of the specs is better in not "ideal" conditions
I'll probably top out at around 700 ilvl
You're worrying about min max at a level where min max doesn't exist
the only thing you could do IF you wanted to, was to play sub/outlaw trickster for delves, for the 1H tricks of the trade
Yeah I like to overthink stuff even though I'm casual nowadays. I'll just play what feels better
For me the only thing that feels better is assassination, be it good or bad
lfr u can literally afk and autoattack
if your tank doesnt like you stealthing before combat, which would you play Sub or Assa?
whatever i enjoy playing hte most
The one I prefer is indeed the right answer, as the tank actually chaining doesnt make you lose out on anything important
i can assure you the aftermath is even worse
You still @ the hospital?
both kinda like to restealth (due to IC or TFD respectively), but honestly it doesn't matter, play what you like and try to learn how to deal without stealth (it's gonna happen anyway)
I hope you get better soon so you can join us in Azeroth homie
kick your tank
whichever you find more fun though
Sub
If that's the big explosion during P1 you can cloak it.
LFR/normal you can probably just feint it and shug a health potion
hello my people, do you experience any lags while playing rogue? my main is druid but i dont get lags at big aoe scenarios but my assa rogue does
even at the dummies everytime i hit enveno
sounds like a cpu demanding addon, make sure you dont have out of date or conflicting WAs
Anyone else feel like they've reach a glass ceiling pugging m+? If so, at what level? Finished resi 15 last night and it's dried out completely.
listing your own key above 18 is a waste of time and applying to 17s takes forever
imo get resilient 16s and play some alts for fun
people will be listing keys again when turboboost rolls around
