Active: Rogue enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for up to 2 seconds, causing all basic attacks against him to miss. Rogue also takes 25% reduced damage from all area of effect abilities. After 1 second, Rogue can reactivate to end it immediately.
Hey guys im kinda new to rogue and im not sure if spec i should play cause everyone say somethinge different, whats your experience for pve/pvp not sure wich spec i should play :X
play all 3 until you find out which one feels the best
then make it your entire personality and buy 10 trucks of white monster energy drink
congratulations
you're now a rogue main
allready have white monster energy next to me ๐
alright you're already 2 steps ahead of most new rogues
but think about is there different in dps aswell or is it not that big so i can just play every specc ?
now just spam normal dungeons or do world content with all 3
just play whatever you enjoy most
allright ty then i continue with sub for the time ๐
same here, hope you're having a good time!
if you are then you already have your answer
running around and sap ppl makes me happy ๐
abit toxic also, I do it a lot for that reason
ofc
Yep, most likely scaling shit. At that level your Ilvl should be around 100-135 I believe if it's lower than that, scaling fucked you up
Just noticed I don't know the new ilvl thresholds so I can't say for certain
Just so you can be sure, check a wotlk or mop raids, see what ilvl the bosses drop on normal mode I guess, and that should tell you
chat I have something to admit
im not actually playing rogue this season
im playing holy priest

guilty as charged
holy shit,exposed
sub or sin for M0s/mythic +
what you like more
My guild thinks m+ was delayed but I could've sworn it was always going to start on 24th? Am I going crazy?
Week of March 24:
Voidspire Raid Finder Wing 2, Story Mode, and Mythic Difficulties Available
Dreamrift Raid Mythic Difficulty Available
Mythic+ Season 1 Begins
She's just an alt but I never get tired of seeing her being so menacing
smol
And stabby, very stabby
stabby be hurty
any thought what spec will be the m+ to go ?
whatever your heart desires
Sims say outlaw has the highest ST output
Most likely, outlaw will be the same for m+
Based on Fuu xl sheet
Oh, so we have another two weeks of M0?
correct, but normal and heroic raid opens before and I assume higher level delves.
can profession recipes drop in follower dungeons or just normal and above?
Pretty sure they do
Just not mounts I assume, that would be Mythic
Speaking of mounts, got the Lucent Hawkstrider from Magister's Terrace
About to start leveling and gearing rogue, playing sub atm but does the energy starving last or is that just a low level problem?
Forget what command does it
!energy
Phooey
All three specs have some degree of energy starvation, especially while leveling
I don't think there's a command for that. Most of the talents you need for the specs to feel good are near max level
Eh, thought Whispyr had implemented one
what should i do now for ilvl after weekly mythics and all renown gear?
i feel like im stuck at 234 for now
Can get two vet track from hard prey hunts iirc
oh i think i already got one of them
ill go do the other one tomorrow probably
i was kinda just wondering what the higher ilvls are rn cuz 234 cant be almost there
"just click it"
interact button OP
for anyone who still needs to lvl chars - new venruki tech xd
too far away from that
Just turn on the no-clip from your Housing Plot
Which spec are You playing/ plan to play in M+ ? Dont care whats best, just what you will play~
What's that?
do i need to finish the story to get the world quest ? or can I just finish the storyline?
you need to finish the main campain to unlock worldquests
whats prolly the best spec for leveling?
prolly sub
You can talk to soridomi on an alt in the Silvermoon inn to skip the rest of the campaign
I know the place, and the interact button works if you smush the char directly into the stone
OH WTF REALLY
oh on alt
but you do have to finish on main right
Oh yeah you have to finish it once
Whatโs the tech?
bloody hell I can already tell Abundance is going to drive me mad
done 80 runs this week, circa 800 more to go over the next three months
we didn't know how well we had it in TWW with progression rates, apparently
problems of having alts :>
with only 1 character i feel reassured xd
derp, tbh i dont have time for more than 1 at a time
why do we need to farm abundance?
Could be doing it for the crafting tool material that's only available via it.

Torghast comes to mind
So how are the Rogue's enjoying Murder Row?
do you guys know if we can lock exp?
What spec did you guys find the best leveling 80-90?
Also has anyone noticed that stealth just doesnt work? like I stealth towards mobs but they I just lose stealth when getting a bit close to them (open world)
stealth != invisibility
u cant stand on top of mobs
Sooo....what are we thinking is the best Spec for Raid/M+
probably bear
Its when approaching mobs, not even in melee range
least ambiguous and open ended "best spec" question
are u fatebound and pressing AR?
I am fatebound but not pressing any button just walking forward
if u get ur auto coin w AR itll break stealth if ur targeting a mob, other than that, maybe ur taking random dmg?

Do those mobs have an eye ๐๏ธ on top of their model?
If not, just screen record it so we can see
wm on and some dot?
The possibilities are endless
my stealth got broken a zillion times in m0s today
think a lot of them just have passive ticking rot damage to any nearby player
was happening to all 3 of us in triple rogue group at the same times
Has anyone else seen an excessive amount of belts in your m0 runs? This is just two characters, but still
by chance is there a spreadsheet showing tier sets for everyone and the % gains etc?
Quick question, beyond a nicer looks if you like it. What's things details do better than default dmg metter ?
is it worth crafting a weapon now?
Should be for a lot of people
supposed to be crafting farstriders mercy right?
Si senor
is there a way to get the world tour quest if i skipped the campaign on my alt?
ty
how do i get someone to craft the dagger for me? i remember there was a place where i could place the materials in then wait
That's gamble
And we don't like gamble
You use the trade chat and search for a BS that could craft you the dagger at maximum quality
Which delve is the most spamable?
i should be putting like crit and mast for the random stat right
Idk check either your specific spec channel or wowhead
Just check in your servers trade chat. "Looking for someone to make me a rank 5 dagger!" and chat with the crafter until you find one who isn't insane
Some might want a tip, some might want you to just use maximum quality reageants 'cos it'll let them gurantee R5 + give skill
Just gotta chat. When you do find someone, def remember their name. I have a ton of people who come to me for crafts.
seems like theres no blacksmither rn its no fun
If you are on a server with a stronger oppsing faction, it can be worth making a level 1 alt to check their trade chat too
since work orders are cross-faction
oh i didnt know that actually
Suppose it depends on the "story" available
I can do it for you
I leveled it for my rogue
Hmm, that I don't know. I'm EU
does it not work if we're in different realms
It's cross realm, but not sure if the regions matter tbh
maybe someone else knows
Based on reddit, cross region doesn't work
Add me on discord if someone else states the opposite
that post is probably right, other people in here actually said that too im pretty sure
I'm sorry then, but I hope you get your dagger soon
thanks man
You can't do it cross-region, no. You can only do it cross-realm in the same guild, too.
Is Weakauras working again? All my alts don't have the same setup as I do on my Rogue and it's annoying
No blizzard made it hard for weakauras devs, just use custom blizzard one
why are we supposed to save veteran crests? there are no veteran dawcrests, only hero and myth ones? assuming i've cleared all the veteran items sources for this week
If there's no Veteran Dawncrests, how would you even be able to save them?

But you save them so you don't waste them on Veteran pieces that'll then get replaced by Champion pieces on Heroic week
what else would i spend them on tho?
in other words, they arent used for relevant crafting, i can only use them to upgrade veteran items, so why would i save them?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i've seen some weak aura tagged 12.0.1 on wago, such as zac_ UI, but when i'm installing WA addon it's not working, any workaround ?
wa addon is not updated for 12.0
Nope
there is a fork but you have to manually install it
not really for the average user
You'll be able to convert them to higher tier crests after you hit the breakpoint. What you wanna do though is get as much champion as you can and then upgrade any vet pieces you have left before you move into content where you start wanting the power. If you upgrade your weapon to cap then get a champion or heroic weapon that was a huge waste of a limited resource and now your boots are stuck at veteran 3 until next week
Last expansion I basically did my upgrades half an hour before raid and at no other time because I didn't push keys so I didn't need the power. Weeklies fall over just as easily at mythic 1 gear vs mythic 6 gear
Whatโs the better spec for rogue leveling heart:โค๏ธ
the one you play better
For sure Assa.
Before lvl 40 everything is a disaster
But Assa still correct with dot
Sub felt the best out of the three for me. The simplest too if you are just getting into rogue. You have on demand damage to quickly burst down mobs with no set up needed
Now we need someone vouching for outlaw
Pirates are cool
There we go, we successfully covered all three specs
i wonder if thats been anyone's actual motivation/reason to main outlaw instead of the other 2
I cope that outlaw is top rogue dps and plus ive been grandfathered in from the combat spec all those years ago.
just curious, i know its probably not comprable to like dwarf or troll or other top tier racials, but does anyone know how the haranir racials are?
outlaw is like "big setup and slam everything at once" right?
There is a flow to it, at 20% haste and its still a bit clunky. But it pops off once you get into it. Ya i guess getting a good dice roll and doing snd is the setup ya.
lmao would u say its harder than sub? ive always felt like becoming a pirate
Never played the other two specs in retail. So couldnt tell ya.

which spec is strongest in pve atm?
Which spec will be stronger in raids, assassination or subtlety?
Which spec is the best to do the photography WQ?
outlaw
ty
How are yalls reps looking?
Think im not too far behind but missed some stuff last week
Reps donโt matter after the champion gear ๐
Mounts and titles are a thing too.
!up
Hey guys, I'm new to retail. Well I'm back. I played years ago but mainly stuck with classic. I went with rogue even though it's a mixed bag at the moment. How do you guys enjoy your rogues so far in midnight? Especially at 90? I'm still leveling midnight but I feel underpowered so far. I went with outlaw for leveling. none stop rotation, meh dps and sucky survability
i think almost everyone feels weak while leveling, especially if you didn't start with max gear from previous expansion and rogue is usually considered below average for leveling with poor self heals and so on, but it's gonna get better, you just have to endure this awkward period ๐ if you enjoy rogue fantasy then stick with it. As soon as you start farming max level gear everything will be much better ๐
it's good to know ๐ Yeah I started from scratch so no good gear
I'll stick with it as it's my main right now
I see the big guys pulling 15 mobs and im here struggling with 4-5
Just like choosing a spec to level and yet everyone asks:(
is it worth upgrading gear with crests since its only a 1 time thing then the rest of the gear will cost 0 crests to upgrade?
I can't decide between Rogue and Monk to play. On one hand I think Monk having the ability to try healing and tanking (never really done before but maybe I'll give it a try), but having 3 flavours of DPS is also nice. Rogue also has stealth which is cool,
Can someone who has good experience on Monk and Rogue give me their take on which to choose, pros and cons of each/what made you choose one over the other etc..
if im not wrong, if u level something to like 6/6 then any other gear of that track costs 0 crests right?
haha is that the #1 reason you play rogue? Feral can also stealth ๐
not monk player, but being able to tank is v nice, altho i wouldnt rly worry about playing a monk just for the multispec, id just level a second character
If it's anything like tww, once you upgrade a slot, any other piece for that slot will be upgradable for free until the same level of your highest
rogues look infinitely cooler
I'm not a meow meow
Rogue sick gameplay, monk zzZzZzzzZzz....
Yeah it is a plus for Monk
I do like Rogues aesthetics stabby stabby
so its good to go spend my crests to upgrade then? cuz pugging only cares about ilvl lol, thought it would be good to get as high as i can
You think Monk gameplay is boring? What about it dont you like?
I'm not playing this expansion yet so idk how hard gearing is or isn't ๐
Honestly, in my entire short career on WoW, even though I've been playing since Cataclysm, the most I've played has been warlock and DK, then almost always rogue. I like the aggressive play style and badass specialities. The rest has never appealed to me
I've heard about the crests change and requiring more and more crests to get an item to it's max ilvl
Monk is fun and mobile and you can effectively play 3 roles so in theory the chances of actually playing the game are higher
^ I actually played a bit of monk during the last season of tww, but mainly shado-pan brewmaster
Yeah iv only got rogue at 77 and monk at 71 but both are quite fun. Cant seem to decide which to focus on
If you really enjoy both AND have the time, you could level both, play one more seriously and use the other for stuff like weekly delves and world events
(the part about having time is extremely important)
Yeah I don't know if I will have the time after season 1 starts
for the next 2-3 weeks I have a decent amount of time
That's enough time to level both and decide
True
You got this, don't worry too much
Eventually you'll be able to play both characters, seasons are big enough
Thats true, I guess ill just play both to 90 and then decide
Reckon its better to focus on one until 90 (rogue since its higher) and then do monk or just level whichever whenever I feel like it
I'd go with option number two. Mainly because you play the game to enjoy yourself
IF you're playing with a group of people who're gonna be doing m+ grind and stuff, I'd focus on getting one of the characters up and running so you could take the free ride
If that's not the case, you'll be on a Q simulator anyway
Yeah I'm mostly playing solo. I have 2 friends that play but our playtimes are quite different
rogue cool fantasy, monk weird chinese spiritual stuff
We know dps increases from every specs tier sets yet?
feral stealth is shitter
guys can you recomend video i can watch to see current state of the rouge?
not listening to any druid propaganda from you
i'm trying to find the name of a streamer/rogue player that does high M+ keys i think he is greek (not sure) and i cant freaking remember he's name. he's a rather well known rogue streamer and not part of any of the big RWF teams.
I remember long ago when all I did was duel outside org I would always beat rogues cause feral stealth was better
You know you fucked up when shroud is better stealth than native stealth
It is?
I havent done like hardcore testing on it, but in cases where we have used shroud I could walk by a mob, but the stealthed rogue coming behind me bodypulls.
For assassination yeah, check whispyr on YouTube
Guys is there a reason to hold on to the abundance coins ? or just use all 8 of them each week (for the achievements f.e.)
Which spec is the strongest for ST atm?
I think Outlaw is miles ahead in sims
Outlaw being ahead might not mean much, historically they've been ahead on the Sims but not in real scenarios
(I'll admit I don't know how things are currently)
Again, historically that's false advertisement
comparing sims between different specs is a bad idea regardless
ye you're not getting 100% uptime and outlaw is giga uptime dependant
but if it's full patchwerk it should be accurate no?
Haven't looked at the raid so don't know how realistic or good that profile is
Even in a patchwerk fight, the moment you add in a phase where the boss takes 100% more DMG, sub or assa might be a better choice due to how they have DMG coldowns
problem with outlaw most of the time in raid is that encounters always reward sniping adds or just using cds at precise timers
in m+ it does plenty fine
but also if it is tuned high enough you might see more people on it
even without damage amps, look at tww s3 sims vs fractilus actual dps
it also suffers from what sub sometimes has that the good or top players play the best spec so even in logs it will seem worse
do you think that'll remain true now with the entry to sub being 1/10th of what it used to be?
Saw a fellow one in a random dungeon the other day.
Weird having two Rogues in a group.
when there will be more than 2 rogues in a raid
it will be a sign
of the apocalypse
On my heroic guild there were 3 outlaws
Swapped to SP for ranged
I leveled a mage, and now I totally get why people say it's Blizzard's favorite class... They have everything, and it's absolutely broken while leveling.
M0 is dropping Champion, right?
Thx.
Hey all ! I'm new here and my rogue get lvl 90 today. I want to know the best spec for PVE ? Assa or Outlaw or Sub ? Thanks for your help
Ok thanks ! And for mono target ?
I'll be honest, don't take this as an attack, if you have to ask, you don't do content hard enough for it to matter
Zero problems all morning, load into the instance and it goes to shit
Oh ok ! Thanks
Any of the three specs perform well, each of them having it's pros and cons
Ok thanks
hey guys I know darkmoon faire is already over but is it possible to still go there and spend my tickets?
Pretty sure you can't enter because there will be no portal
Yeah, it's only for a week and then it's gone until the next month
Happened again, it's like every other instance I get shit world latency
Never had this problem all last week when I was playing but today it's happened twice this morning
maybe you get bad oceanic servers as NA
or just too many people and some instance servers are krangled
I mean I'm playing from a hotel along the highway
So maybe certain players fuck my shit up
I was playing from 100-300 ping last night due to hotel wifi as well 
how do i get more renown for the prey hunting if ive done all of them
Its capped at 3 this week
ah damn im only at 2
I got to 3 like 4 hunts in this week
So you should be able to catch up eventually
Seems there are more hunts than they let you gain renown for
Maybe the random hunts you get from talking to him give renown if you aren't caught up
oh yea i can still take the random ones
thanks
damn its like 60 points per hunt
im doing hard mode ones too
Assassin so far seems best spec early on. I'm leveling a rogue despite most saying it's hard, but it is very fun imo and I like the theme. Only 32 but sub (and outlaw) I had a hard time killing elites, sin can do them pretty easily. I'm sure changes later or maybe not. But I'm enjoying the class. I wanted to try it cause apparently only 3.3% play rogues
Whatโs vet crest sources each week? Was only able to find 120 from m0 and hard hunts
6-7 tier delves I think drop them
what spec do you recommend for the follower in delves? tank, healer, dps?
thanks!
We're not a popular choice.
Yeah dunno why tbh. I like it a lot. I guess not flashy but to me I like the more grounded aspect. Plus like I said, theme is good. I guess in mythics maybe not provide much? Dunno but so far it's fun
I gotta actually use my brain is what I think I like. No offense to other classes but most of the time I'm half way paying attention spamming stuff. Especially after the pruning
Like when I fought a group mob for a quest and no one was around, I had to kinda plan how to beat it a bit. Since first couple attempts I died doing spam abilities like I usually do lol. Then I actually got it
Considering most content outside of endgame is supposed to be where you turn your brain off, not sure thats a good thing.
rogue just brings nothing in to a group, thats why its not so popular
if you arent doing stupid dmg there isint any reason to bring a rogue to any end game content
mfw no one wants a Rogue in their group
ye
Stinky Hunters get invited more
at least they have lust
Time to swap to tbc classic, ive heard rogues are very desireable there 
They should bring the break armor skill back
i love playing rogue but at the same time i dont like playing "sitting in queue simmulator 3"
I never really sat in queue, of course this is still preseason
last time playing rogue as an alt was very unfun
the class was fun but gettin in to any key was not
I think they should just bring smoke bomb back and make it only break LoS.
Would be a unique thing that no one else really has, and it would also allow for some cute shenanigans that would get rogues an invite just for having.
Make it a 3 minute CD. ๐คท
make outlaw an tank spec and im rerolling in a second
I mean hell. Add a 4th spec. Druid gets 4 specs, why not rogue?
Canโt tell if this post troll or real about one button rotation ๐ญ
im lost .... isint 1br just pressing one button ?
Yes lol
i assume they're trying to make builds that lose as little damage as possible from obr
a little silly but fair enough
but obr is a dps loss from the get go
thats what makes it a little silly yes

Gotta min max that one button 
press harder for more deeps
the more times you press it between gcds the more damage it does
After 17th, will m0 drop champion crests or still veteran?
it does not have subtlety
or assassiantion
the damage loss of one button isn't that big anymore
its like 8-12% dps
what the hell is a subtlety
Outlaw OBR was pretty close to what we actually do for our rotation lol
the culprit for subtlety is gcd efficiency
you as is want to use a macro to not lose a cast in dance
now add 1.2 sec gcd baseline
Meanwhile outlaw is just build build finish rinse repeat lol
haha
i am still surprised
you literally just need to use blades manually
so obr is fairly simple
and optimizations are kinda whatever
For outlaw obr is like 27% loss from what solo posted
Is there some sort of gearing exploit? I'm in a heroic with four ~i240 players and they're struggling
Maybe they just suck
I'm with ash theyre probably just cheeks
can i still buy jewel sockets for my rings and neck
Like the Magnificent jewelers setting in tww
With the sudden hotfix to the ring XP farm whats the new hotness?
Maybe they're playing an off spec?
campaign and delve world tour
anyone else has problems with the dropdown menu of MSUF? I cant chose any options in any of the drop down menues
it had worked just about 2 hours ago
Whats up?
do you have some sort of addon that styles your mouse or injects styling into other addons?
You can dm me if you want
@ember nest are you still stuck in there? lol
?
update: im playing rougue again, i was a priest main for like 3 days
When did blizzard say the tuning pass was happening? I forgot is it this week or next week
Thanks! Better hold off on crafting a dagger then for another week haha
on god im starting to believe this
also cause my guild has a ww enhance dh ..
like bro im selfish if i go fists axes
when u really think about it 
Ahh thatโs true, Iโm the only rogue in our mythic team, so any daggers pretty much go to me anyway, so playing assass/sub is probably the play so leave the other weapons for our surv, ww and dhs
ya on the 17th
trying to figure out what spec to learn first
learn the one you enjoy the most
It won't be Outlaw
u dont know that bro
So take like 2 minutes to learn Sub, and a couple more to learn Assa
There you go
perfect
nah my buddy said its never outlaw
thats what sold me on the class. I dont like carpel tunnel
ty peter pan
Isn't Outlaw simming like 20% higher than Sub and Assassination
outlaw ST patchwerk sims higher than sub/assi by at least 5-10% every single expansion/tier
Problem is Outlaw is kind of rough for progression compared to a lot of specs because it lacks burst, and it's inability to deal with downtime because CDs feed themselves hurts it a lot.
Certainly viable. Just awkward in a lot of ways.
Like mentioned above, outlaw does more consistent damage, which means if its not the top simming spec its pretty undertuned compared to the other two. Since for example if you have to run away from the boss for 5 seconds to do a mechanic, assa has some empty globals naturally throughout their rotation so you its not nearly as bad being out of melee, and for sub they do practically no damage outside of shadow dance so as long as its not in the middle of cooldowns (which you can often controll by playing better) theyre not losing much either
Thats also not factoring in stuff like damage increases or burst phases
any ideas on what spec is looking best for raid atm? or somewhere i can read or watch about it?
They said they're doing a big tuning pass on the day of the raid's release.
There's no ideas, just wait.
okay cheers mate
any recommendations on youtubers who make good content for rogue atm?
Whispyr surely
Are we still planning on sub being the go too for this season?>
when was that the plan
I mean...sure outlaw sims a bit higher but im not trying to get carpal tunnel with 150 apm lol.
Why should we plan anything when there is still a big tuning to come?
I mean we still need to plan for tuesday,
No?
Explore Damage Meters and Boss Timers, now live in Midnight!
So does this mean i dont need to download details and dbm?
What the weakaura situation?
Does rogue have good utility for m+? Do you think weโll have issues finding groups this season?
No. Maybe.
Dang :(
i mean
rogue could be strong
and do a lot of damage
and we'll be picked because of that
but that's the only reason
we don't have utility
we don't even really have a niche damage profile
we don't have any bitches
we don't have any maidens
Kick, kidney, blind, gouge ?
every single dps class has an interrupt
no serious p*sher cares that the lockout is 2 extra seconds on rogue
boomkin
you can't take gouge and blind (unless you take extra long blind)
60 second cooldown
if you're going to make an unironic arguement that rogue utility is comparable to boomkin in any way
i'm not really too sure what to say
you dont get it
distract makes up for brez motw posion dispell ursols typhoon innervate
and the other 5 things i forgot
oh shit true i forgot the utility of distract
decurse
i thought they just did poison
oh its both
did they get pruned
do they still have incap
does boomie get trees?
or just resto
class tree talent
choice node between picking single target stun (1min cooldown) or aoe cc (30 second cooldown)

problem?

pretty sure hotw feels buffed, but actual druid mains can comment on that
just press it in damage amp phase or something
@glad harness do druids like new hotw?
my hot shit take that has 0 bias whatsoever is that rogues should always be a top tier dps because that's the only utility we provide
thank you for listening
no i will not be taking any comments
Hello Guys ! Iโm actually pexing a reroll and I want to find a way to pex him to 90 asaf. I guess Dungeon and delves are the best options but do you know if there something more specific to optimize ?
what does pex mean?
i assume you're talking about levelling
but what do you mean by pexing
he means pegging

maybe
french are saying that for levelling. I thought english speaker was saying the same ahah
It's fine. Situational of course, but 
But yes I mean Levelling
Also, unlucky, druid relegated to split alt for now
damn fr*nch people
Thatโs fine Iโm not french. Just french speaker ahahahh
oh that's okay then
when i was playing my guardian druid, it did feel nice to be able to press it on a damage amp
and then not worry about it
i dunno how much use the old hotw got before
only other time i remember it being used was sylvanus prog
where the boomkins would press it and heal the raid in big dam
Hey guys, which rogue spec do you consider the best for raiding?
Assassination, last tier it was just chill, brain off, hit buttons.
sub rogue because i fall asleep playing assi rogue
cant do dps if youre asleep
Do you power nap between cd windows?
as sub rogue? yes
(I have no clue how sub plays now, I'm maining 'taking a break from wow' this expansion)
what they making you play now

Any suggestions what should I try in m0(and learn it to m+)? I see that tier lists ranking rogues not that high, but also different people see rogues in different spots, which is interesting.
no tierlist matters since we know tuning is coming
I like assassin
but regardless of that, i feel like rogue does not bring anything to m+
Spreading bleeds through Crimson Tempest is fun
Incredible violence
unless pathing makes aoe stealth good
but it feels like it has not been good in a long time
And the poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco's poison.
Last season I felt useful applying iron wire to caster mobs and being able to do good aoe damage off a priority target
Haven't done much in midnight yet for rogue tho because my main is mage
feels like rogue was an utility class ages ago, but now warrior is new utility, Aoe stun, aoe fear, st stun 30 sec cd, ranged silence, warrior buff, rally, piercing howl
yes and no, tuning is more about raw numbers than about interesting playstyle and etc
I have leveled up surv hunter named as FUNNIEST spec ever
95% of rotation is
1 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 -2 - 1 - 2 - 2
in my plans, but it's overwhelming a bit for newcommers
also bear feels to good right now
they dumbed down feral a lot
but not as much as the rogue specs
there is not that much snapshotting anymore
assa in season 1 tww was pretty satisfying
I like that they made your aoe bleed NOT require starting from stealth
Getting the tank to actually drop combat was an uphill battle
Now I can just stab people
now bear have a talant to proc Ravage on combat start, lol
People have been saying guardian is good this season but most of the tanks I've run into are paladins and monks
monks top tier tanks, guardian is broken damage tank
I like monk tank, local man too drunk to die
and will be nerfed
If I get time for a fourth alt i actually invest time into its probably gonna be a second monk so I can do mistweaver and brew master because gearing one character for both sucks
Stat priority is completely inverted
yep, it's strange that from all 3 specs all of them not that great in m+(based on tierlists of course)
Mistweaver wants to ora ora and Brew could give less of a shit about haste because blackout kick isn't affected by it
In SL i asked survival discord what they would like to be changed with the spec outside of dmg to become meta in m+, i got bombarded with hate since i used the word meta.
in s4 they made survival busted by buffing dmg
and they became ultra meta
i somehow dont see this happening to outlaw now that our utility is neutered/other classes getting more
in dragonflight s3 I played with guardian, and it was very fun comeback to wow
but my god how shit tier bear feels in m+ after I tried broken DH
so ye, meta metters especially in m+
not even about numbers, but about tools and what you can and can't do
still rogue gameplay was pretty fun, but interesting what the state is now, but not sure what to start from
You've got kick and blind and kidney shot and sap and shroud on rogues, plus cloak can do fun things with mechanics. Id have loved to be on my rogue for the last boss in the lightbloom dungeon and just sprint through all the bubbles and not care
M+ statics are building a team that pretty much only plays together so their meta doesn't matter for the average person's use case, most groups will benefit much more from a player who's comfortable with their class and puts in the time to practice
Yeah that warrior has all those buttons but does he PRESS them or does he forget they exist because he's too busy trying to remember the rotation for this month's FOTM class
Sap? what is this, vanilla? who doesnt have kick(healers)? Blind is not aoe anymore so who gives a sh**, shroud has not been mandatory and been ok at most for a long time.
Ive seen too many shamans with single digit interrupts to care much about optimal comp anymore, if we have a brez and a bloodlust I could give less of a fuck at this point
i mean im talking from a title standpoint
im not talking low to mid keys
also rogue is the squishiest class in the game (passive)
If they're not using their defensive yeah but like everyone dies if they dont press their buttons
dunno why you would consider noobs that dont press defensives in this discussion
I dont push top tier keys, that IS my m+ experience
Me sitting at me desk crying and begging random people to push a fucking button
Quick question: 4 hard prey give only 2 veteran items?
So does Mage and nobody complains. Barrier eats a global, invis did too when it was a defensive, you didn't get more than one ice cold a fight usually
Rogue just loses energy instead of a global
did you play enhancement sham?
Energy management is the name of the game and it always has been, you dont do the Always Be Casting thing as a rogue unless you're an Outlaw
Hi guys, when weakauras was Up, I had the number of targets near me (to manage better with outlaw and not missing crips with position) Now I have not this, and i think is a good for spreading dots with assa for exemple. Do u know how i can get It?
rogue has great def cds, not dk level, but everything is good vs enhancement
I dont fuck with outlaw BECAUSE of that
I have mage for my every global matters gameplay, rogue is for pooling my resources and timing shit correctly
Also i dont agree with the energy cost being a damage cost, dead players deal 0 dps
dunno if its something to agree with or not, its just facts? feint cost energy, energy is dmg.
or have they changed feint costing energy?
Energy is your combat resource. Spending it on not dying gives you the damage you would lose. By dying.
do warriors, survival, enhance have anything similar?
Nobody? :/
Usually, they spend globals and not a resource
guess dk has death strike
Enemy frames can be configured to show your debuff icons
Rogue can feint whenever they want, even in between gcds
That's the tradeoff, that's what makes it worth the energy cost
Asking for number of targets
Throwing it at the right time can let you use it way more effectively than if it cost a global but not a significant amount of a resource like mage barrier
Count? Idk man, I never used that WA, I was just like "right that's more than three"
Make everyone get the bleedy icons then start envenoming
it straight up annoys me to a point where I want to intentionally not talent it
Ah yes the apex of roguish guile
You can just cancel it out of combat
I'm thinking what could replace it
glowing hands is okay, but that disgusting Vanilla orb looks bad asf
maybe it could color the weapons like this?
or color the hand with a fading texture of this color
Just make our hands glow blue properly or yeah, a weapon glow, lotsa ways
Wraithchill vfx on your weapons would be nice
But that'd kill pvp clarity
Which im pretty sure is the only reason we still have the big ass blue ball
I don't think anybody is needing to be aware of cold blood
So you can go "oh he's about to rip me a new asshole if he gets close"
As a mage main i think knowing that information is important
I don't think cold blood is gonna be that impactful
Guaranteed crit on an empowered finisher HURTS
... the fuck
Read your abilities imo
(advice I will never take myself)
It used to be 100% when it was a CD but now it's just a proc that gives us +10%
I was thinking the Cold Blood active
It's literally always up in AOE
They just took away Cold Blood?
Yes, in the prepatch
I barely played any prepatch anything after they massacred Arcane mana management
Took a break to be fresh for Midnight and im gonna start my rogue leveling to 90 today
You sure about that? I tried that yesterday, could not click off. Looks stupid
You can def click the buff off
If it was at least both hands...
I was wondering why you had CB up outside of combat
Ok i try tonight, still at work sadly ๐
I iamgine you can do cancelaura coldblood, too
Same, had to go in because a storm killed power at home
I cri
Yeah, /cancelaura Cold blood cancels it too as expected
It's fine. Perform well and prove you can reroll and play well, while knowing this wasn't your choice so they can't blame you if class balance bad
where do you bind this with?
macro*
is there any way to learn the raids before they come out? like any testing server etc
cuz going in without knowing mechanics well is gonna get the boot
i know that was a dumb question
Learn them by doin them
Someone made a steam game to learn the raid mechanics
Fair, but fury isnt really that much fun and more often than not its been the default pve choice. Atleast thats the case for me. 
can tricks of the trade be macro'd to always target my tank if hes always the first in my party list?
!tricks
ty!
Idk what those prey rogues are on, but y'all are stabbing my mage to death
Stop stabbing me
I mean respectfully how is fury any different than sub rn. Arguably itโs more engaging
Youโd have to be actually brain damaged to fuck up sub atm
Or missing 9 of your fingers so you canโt press the 2 buttons it needs
damn this is cool ty
thats every class big bro. retail rotations are giga ez so classic players can try retail and not get discouraged ๐
im fucking up sub
Wow player equivalent of the high school quarterback who still lives in his hometown talking about the glory days.
classic players are uncle rico confirmed
took a hiatus after done farming CE last tier so i didn't read up on anything but what spec are we looking to play for raid/keys? or no one really knows yet
Thereโs tuning coming but for now arms warrior is the best spec in the game and has been since alpha. Itโs been nerfed a few times and will probably be nerfed again when the tuning pass happens on the 17th
Come back in 4 weeks of quests then reward 
feels like a scam xD
hi. is there a list where i can see all abilities with spell ids which we want to use feint on ?
Whats the fastest way to level your twinks
best keybind for builder and spender?
2/3
1-4 
i use that for ss and evis too
R T for storm and bp
Build on 4, spend on 2.
But I use ESDF instead of WASD.
Build on Q spend on E for me
build is 3 spender is R
builder 1/3/MB5 spender 2/4/5/f
1/x builder, 4/mb4 spender
sd on mb3
builder 1, spender 4, stuff bettwen on 2 and 3, aoe spam skill R
oh ye R is sectech but now thats handled by dance+sectech macro on 5 (old rupture bind) so still fits the scheme
probably asked a lot of times at the moment ๐
What is the best dps spec for dungeons at the moment
build shift-r spend shift-f
outlaw sub assa
demonology
!up
Is there a Bubbling Wax alternative in Midnight?
Anyone playing alts, I usually only play rogue ive dabbled with mage and warrior in classic. I am newish to retail, thinking about trying caster druid, hunter, or DH. I have a DK im slowly leveling that seems fun, so more inclined for a range class.
my 2004 warrior is on my account i may try it but that would be 3 melee lol
mage would be a safe pick but ive played it before and my brother is already playing it as well
Idk just play what you think is fun.
If you're normally a melee player - another melee class is probably best tbh. Melee players playing ranged, and ranged players playing melee is always kinda scuffed.
Like noticeably scuffed. ๐
I'm willing to bet Devourer DH has some of the highest floor camera time this season just like Survival Hunter after the rework.
alrighty thx
I cannot figure it out, is outlaw noticable worse at dps than sub or is it just me?
I mean outlaw should do more damage theoretically.
Practically it's reliant on consistent uptime, and is further punished for downtime with longer CDs.
I'd sim yourself then do some target dummy checks. If you're hitting the dummy for what you sim, you're doing fine and it's the specs shortcomings in practicality.
If you're not meeting the sim DPS within margin of error - likely you doing something wrong.
Make sure sim has no raid buffs.
Thanks for answering FlayR. I was thinking about testing if it's human error or something about my stats or if something is not adding up.
There's like 15k dps diff between the two.
Again, thanks for clarifying.
I should also note - your uptime is fundamentally as much about your ability as a player as it is the encounter. Better players will have better uptime.
But some bosses it's hard to have good uptime too.
Sub much less affected by that, as if you play well you can take very very marginal DPS losses by moving while you're between dances.
Yeah I figured since it was much more pruned and kinda can pick up from wherever you left last pack to just continue to pump.
Seems it is more of a CDR management issue and Adrenaline usage that it is in spec itself
But outlaw can't really hold cooldowns. If you find AR you just also get to use AR less than if you don't.
Like I said - ol has some demons practically.
Just wanted to give you update, even if you dont need it. Im doing ~10k less than sims. Hi, its me, im the problem its me.
Happens. Hit the guide/ FAQs and practice up.
Hey does anyone know if there's a way to make a macro that casts Stealth when im out of combat and Vanish while im in it?
Yes.
#showtooltip
/use [combat] Vanish
/cancelaura [stance:1] Shadow Dance
/use Stealth
I believe that should work. Need the dance cancel or you won't be able to stealth until dance ends in the world.
@small light
a friend mentioned something about someone posting one button rotation guides
i said "please let it not be him"
it was him
he's back
holy shit, i guess fuck it, if you've carved out a niche, go the fuck in
Whos him
before the one button rotation came out by blizzard
there was a man
who made his own one button rotation macro
it was AI videos
Isn't what he does now obsolete then or his macro is still better than obr?
with a terrible jingle thats still in my head rent free
his macro wasn't good
i thought with the addition of OBR he would have vanished into the sunset
but he's back now
Are we able to keep our Bar 1 the same when we hit stealth in midnight?
I don't think so in base UI. Can if you use like bartender or another add on.
you should check out https://bellular.games/midnight-keybinding-planner/. they did a lot of work coming up with keybinds for each spec that are similar across the board. a good starting point before you start customizing your own keybinds IMO.
eh i like the minimal addons ๐ ill live
you can stealth and just customize your bar from there, right?
Yeah Id recommend just putting all the same shit on the bar as when you're out of stealth, tbh.
Well, I'd recommend an add-on tbh, but that's mostly because I don't want my action bars visible and Blizzard doesn't let you hide action bar 1.
You could always just size it strange and put random click only crap on there; warbands, poisons, feasts, and throw it in the corner.
Then use Action bar 2 thru 4.
I mean they're probably only half full after pruning, tbh.
But generally I'll have 1 thru 7, then Q W R T Y A G H, then Z X C V B + mouse buttons.
Then move with ESDF instead of WASD.
Fill the easiest to press buttons first.
How you think people played stuff like enhancement or any druid before? ๐
What the hell happened to rogue
We used to be so popular now nobody plays it?
I quit playing back in cata
It's largely stuck in the past in terms of group utility.
When was rogue ever a popular class
That was always a problem
Classic through wotlk

Most specs have more utility buttons than we do and they're all AoE.
i thought it was worse cuz everyone was just scared due to how complicated it was back then
None of that garbage pvp talent stuff
Also rogue has always kind of had pretty bad solo content playability compared to other classes. Lol.
I'm 100% on the bring back smoke bomb page though. Even if it's just an LoS break.
Isn't that all it is?
I haven't even read what it does as a pvp talent
But that's what it was in cata
Was also a DR at some point. Same as darkness is now.
Also - stealth isn't as op anymore because mobs are designed to be avoided and you can't really over pull most of the time due to mob placement. So even like open world Sap+blind not as good as it once was.
Rogue was never popular
Idk look at any of the old stats they published
There was a time when the players didn't
I guess I only pvped in vanilla and TBC. We were the kings then. Maybe we sucked in pve 


i was going to make a joke that "probably not since a lot of the current players didn't play classic"
but yeah to stop dogpiling
rogue hasnt been popular since... well
classic/vanilla
its downhill from there

it was a semi-popular pvp class just not generally
my misinformation conspiracy theory that i will keep spreading is that all the current devs are ex-vanilla players who got consistnetly ganked by rogues in wpvp
so they refuse to buff rogue in any meaningful way utility wise
to ensure that the class population is low
i remember whenever i saw a rogue back then and if they had insane dps, my whole group would just be in awe
I mean, you could give rogue meaningfull utility, it will still feel like piss to level, which is the like the first hurdle players try to overcome
you could.... or you could remove utility 
and give nothing in return
RIP aoe blind 2025-2026
campaign was a drag. dragonflight was my first expansion and i played frost mage and it was great! then playing rogue this expansion and some zones I could only pull 3-4 mobs without evasion up
The only utility aoe blind gave was fucking over dotclasses in your group 
good. it's not enough that I should win, others should fail
also im pretty sure the "blind removes dots" wasnt a thing in pve
but maybe im gaslamping myself
I think you are gasfurnacing yourself

I noticed that warrior feels way more fun to play.
I press mortal strike, he swings his big ass axe, a big number pops up on my screen and it feels like I dealt some real damage.
Rogue is...
I press secret technique. I deal real damage. It feels like shit because there's no "oomph" to it
Coup de grace looks neat
i like shadow strike's animation too
Idk man my warrior is 80
feels > actual numbers.
mortal strike goes thonk
REAL
But my rogue crits for maybe 30-40k. I'm not very geared
My warrior is 10 levels lower in TWW gear and crits for 12
What rogue specs feels best for m+? Canโt decide what to play
sub seems pretty peak
like why couldnt sectech have been something like this
Although sub damage outside of dance is abysmal
thats fine
to have high highs
you must have low lows
Yeah the CD is low enough

bro if it was like this id be so happy
So you already know what to play then..
imagine that but with diagonal slashes and our purple clones
GIVE US KYVEZA ANIMATIONS
FUCK YOU BLIZZARD
YES
best spec for rogue right now?
the one you enjoy the most
bear
so anyone know how long servers will be down for ish? ๐
soireee vendor in eversong
Think you have to do the soiree atleast once first
But i could be pulling shit out of my ass
tbh i might also be pulling shit out of my ass. i know i saw one item from that 2set effect from the vendor
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
rare
esdf spawn
is there an easy way to track if you have poisons on daggers? I keep forgetting to check. I was used to having WAs for that
!wa
- Can be pickpocketed from kobolds in e.g. The Ringing Deeps. (needs The Final Candle questline completed.)
- Only use it on one weapon. (does not stack)
!addons
hi all, anyone knows a good addon that hide power bar and secondary bar while not in combat?
put the one button rotation on your bar, it tells you if you need poisons
I use "Clickable Raidbuffs"
It shows you whats missing and you just click it.
Am i reading this Larias guide correctly that you can craft emblishments on non-spark gear now?
thats wild
suggestions like this are for extreme min/maxers
yea you have been able to do that since the beginning btw
the blue gear you could always crest and get an embellish there
same with pvp gear
oh, ye probably pointless in my case but funny didnt know
then again veteran/champ crests pretty worthless so might aswell consider throwing embelishments in there if i end up crafting missing pieces
hey is is deathstalker's mark bugged? i just used max combos on my marked target and it didnt consume a stack..
You had Darkest Night up right
In which case thats the intended effect, you cannot reduce the mark below 3 while it is active
(i know it only takes 5)
How are specs looking like for M+? Came back recently with sub, but I'm wondering if I should change with the season starting soon
all three specs are fine for the most part
Wait for tuning
But subs pretty chill
Sounds good, I remember outlaw being meta for a long ass time before (last played around legion to bfa), so mostly curious if that trend held up over time. If they're doing a tuning pass soon, I'll wait
is dev dh considered op? people are saying theyre enjoying it before they get nerfed on 17th
Dont think it overperformed in Beta atleast on final build
Its the only new spec in the xpac
no way it gets nerfed
Atleast not in ways that matter
is there an addon to replace what nugcombo did. i wanna see my combo points underneath my character, like in this screenshot
i love this game
Zero chance itโs get nerfed in any significant way
arcuui you can create a custom CP bar but it wont look like the one youn have there
this is my ui and its all arcui
Does anyone know if I hold these Adventurer's cache till the season starts can I get coffer key shards from them?
very unlikely
They canโt let the shiny new thing sit on the shelf lol
Hey guys! I was leveling my rogue alt today, wondering what the best spec would be for shadow point alpha delve spam? I was thinking Outlaw, but just wanted to get y'alls opinion!
sub have better survivability than law though
How?
Taking into consideration I have no idea about pretty much anything related to MN, how good are they / are they picked?
basically free picks you cant really avoid unless you really want to
do we already know how much of a % gain the tier sets are for each spec?
whats your guys most efficient way of leveling alts
delve quests hold till 88 and then boost to 90
Contrary to popular belief, delve spam is NOT the fastest way to level. I've put together an extremely optimized solo questing path that I used to level from 80-90 in only 2 hours. This run was also done without the 10% Darkmoon Faire bonus, and it doesn't require any specific delve variant to be active, so you can follow the route right now if ...
nice ty mate
Was Details somehow intentionally crippled by Blizz? It just feels... weird after Midnight. Encounters aren't being properly organized and I don't get a dungeon summary at the end of each one. Can't tell if I just have to reconfigure something or if it's just broken now.
dmg meters can only draw data from blizzards dmg meter
if the information is not that great, details can only do that much
details is just a skin
so yes
it was intentionally crippled
smh first Khadgar now this
details wheelchair skin when
is there a way to enable blizz native dmg meter for see dps and total damage done in one window
so people waiting for tuning still, are you just holding ur sparks or doing OH crafts?
im not waiting cause i love sub
Not a raider personally so figured id just hold until m+ starts pmuch
but thats holding like 5 sparks so idk
hey, what M+ plater profiles are people using for midnight? Previously used VesperalTV with coloured bars, is this still the best or any better recommendations? (kick tracking/prio, etc?) - DPS/Tank player - Thanks!
Should I try to sell the AkilZon Shoulder speed formula or learn it on my warlock. Not really sure whats more profitable atm
are bountiful delves the only source of myth crest next week?
I know this is random but if 3/5 members of the desolate council are part of the Shadowblade....
I expect rogue favoritism when UC gets revamped
psa console affects trinket in instanced content
just tested on shindig's stream
fully upgrade it before raid !
fuck off
I saw some people clarify but just wanted to say - this is mainly for split alts or teams that are lower ranking who might want the extra boost. It's very minmaxy
It's really nice if you can craft in spots you didn't get an adv piece in
sup peps , just picking up rogue what are the go to spec for m+ and raid right now?
what professions are most effienct people running on there rogues i was looking in dabbling in them this time around
Anything works
is there a diff between the 2 ? seems like the only chance is difficulty for the recipe
Higher level reagent = easier for the crafter
embellishments add to the skill required to craft the item
the r2 adds less difficulty, so can be the difference between hitting the next rank or not
just depends on the crafter
oh ty
Hey guys, i could not find anyone who can craft dagger yesterday
Is it here someone who can help?
You have to ask on your realm
Cross realm crafting isnโt a thing unless youโre in the same guild
Also I donโt think the mods want there to be crafting talk in here
What you should try doing if you can't find someone on your faction to craft it: make an opposing faction alt and ask in trade on that side of your realm.
That trade chat, whispers and Invite are still not possible X-Faction is still so frustrating
Agreeeeed.
Trade and General should be faction agnostic. Let me post with everybody
Just delete the factions, they're a relic, nobody needs the artifical limitations in gameplay
