Hello there, tank main here with a sub rogue question. I was just reading through tricks of the trade talent description, and so tricky hero Talent… and it seems like sub rogues would be excellent threat generators for tanks if I’m understanding what I’m reading. With so tricky, you would just place that on the tank at the start of the dungeon… and from that point on any threat you generate is helping me gain aggro? Is that correct? If so, sub rogue is going way up on my LFG tier list. This would be so helpful in larger pulls to establish threat.

Both Outlaw and Sub get access to this as it’s part of the Trickster hero talents, and it’s generally used in M+ by both last I checked. It is placed on you during the first pull, and it stays on you as long as the rogue does not die. (it’s a buff on the rogue)…which can make things interesting if you die since if you rez all the mobs will train to you at the entrance.

Is Tricks even necessary these days?
Depends on the tank TBH. It also does help a lot if you’ve got a lower geared tank and some really good DPS as it adds threat for the tank. Also helps the tank scoop up adds quickly as they get near the group as your incidental cleave will pull them in. From a raiding standpoint though, it’s honestly only really useful on pull so you don’t accidentally get wrecked by the boss.

I mean it gives 15% dmg boost to the target, should be used regardless in situations that its called for. especially during like a bigger pack pull, even with the so tricky talent to extend the threat. tank doing lil more dmg never hurt no body.

That’s a pvp talent. Still good though, because it can help the tank keep momentum with constant chain pulls.

Yes. It’s basically just a funneling of threat to the tank through the entire dungeon. There are a couple of wrinkles to be aware of: as @Lyran said, the buff is on the Rogue, so if you die as a tank and the Rogue is alive when you respawn, the threat will continue funneling to you. This can be helpful to prevent a full wipe, but if you think a reset is needed, you need to know not to release until the Rogue has also died (or Vanished)
Play a Devoker and then ask again
