I’ve been a healer main forever but am hoping to give Sub a serious try this season (for M+ only. Likely won’t raid. No PvP). I am having a blast so far, but in my weekly M0s I have found my overall DPS is varying wildly from dungeon to dungeon (been anywhere between 21k and 32k at 355ish iLvl). I am making very blatantly bad mistakes in my rotation and although I know that will largely improve over time, I am hoping to check out some content on any respected/skilled/knowledgeable Sub players that I can watch in hopes of getting better and seeing some of the more nuanced stuff that I am ignorant to. Any recommendations? I couldn’t care less if it’s strictly gameplay recordings or actual streams. I haven’t been able to find too much PvE DF Sub content since the expac is still so new, but I also don’t really know where to look.
Sub is NOT the best mythic plus rogue spec atm. Outlaw wins that one.
That is not to say you cant play sub in pve, it just wont do as much damage to packs as easy as outlaw.
Outlaw you basically just hit blade flurry then do a normal rotation and it cleaves for you.
Sub you need to fan of knives, black powder a lot.
I love sub, by far my favorite rogue spec, but when it comes to mythic plus outlaw is just easier to pull off and you dont give up that much control to get it. You can still have blind, shiv, gouge, evasion etc
Thanks for your responses everyone! I will check these people out! I have seen some of Pikaboo’s stuff but thought he was a PvPer, does he have PvE stuff too?
I have heard good things about Outlaw and tbh I would like to try it eventually, but I just really like Sub (for its playstyle and theme) and am split between too many other classes for alts to learn any more. I have played Sub casually off and on since BfA so I know its buttons and generally how it functions, whereas I have only like an hour total experience on Outlaw. I also don’t play the game at a high enough level for it to really matter much. Thanks for the advice though.
Sub is very very viable and the only real difference to outlaw is the damage profile (which arguably is better in lower content).
If you enjoy sub you can 100% play it without trolling or anything.
It is really good and only (maybe) falls behind in really high end content (which is not available at the moment).
People always call everything trash tier if it isn’t the best, but sub and outlaw are so close to each other, that personal skill and you enjoying the spec probably is enough to push it ahead.
