Sub is supposed to be the super hard and skillful spec, but their damage is so basic is laughable. They generate with backstab/shadow strike and spend with eviscerate. That’s it.

tbh the second they added symbols of death and random energy regen stuff on dance, marked for death, and just excessive combo point generation/energy regen in general subtlety’s skill floor dropped insanely low
conceptually, subtlety was historically just about as straightforward as any other spec in the game, but the way you could play sub back in the day was pretty groundbreaking (mainly looking at rogues like reckful etc)

back then rogues had a high skill ceiling and a skill floor maybe a little bit lower than some of the other classes like ret or dk but it was never remarkably amazing seeing someone just play sub it was just a bunch of reckful fanboys thinking they were him and propagating the idea that sub rogue and rmp was the most yoked galaxy brain players to ever exist

i think what made rogues harder back then was the ability to track drs.
doing a simple damage rotation is easy when you’re tanky and hard when you can only safely play in windows your team creates
also, maintaining a dot and an upkeep buff with a dual resource system are both more work than the damage resources any warrior or ret is keeping track of
doing dmg in wow has never been impressive in a vacuum but this is some slander

Most specs have an easy rotation.
Sub gets to do it uncontested quite often.
I guess that is why it seems “easy” in comparison.
