Subtlety Rogue DPS Guide — The War Within (Season 1)
Welcome to our Subtlety Rogue guide for World of Warcraft — The War Within (Season 1). Here, you will learn how to play as a Subtlety Rogue in both raids and Mythic+ dungeons: from the very beginning to maximizing your DPS.
If you were looking for WotLK Classic content, please refer to our WotLK Classic Subtlety Rogue guide.
Subtlety Rogue Overview
Subtlety Rogues revolve around burst damage windows by combining Shadow Dance, Shadow Blades, and Symbols of Death whenever possible for maximum burst; however, this means that damage outside of these cooldowns is okay at best. Like other Rogue specializations, Subtlety has one of the best defensive kits in the game.
Strengths and Weaknesses
- Strong burst damage.
- Good single target damage with priority damage focus in AoE situations.
- Solid sustained AoE damage.
- Fast-paced during cooldowns.
- Don't need to sacrifice damage for mobility.
- Powerful defensive cooldowns such as Cloak of Shadows, Feint, Evasion and Crimson Vial.
- Utility such as Shroud of Concealment, Kidney Shot, Cheap Shot and Blind can come in handy in some situations, mainly Mythic+.
- Less forgiving to play than other Rogue Specs.
- Weak low target cleave damage (2-3 Targets).
- Damage outside of Shadow Dance and Symbols of Death windows is low.
- Due to Combo Point spenders reducing the cooldown of Shadow Dance, losing uptime can impact DPS.
Subtlety Rogue and Guide Changes for The War Within
Changes to Subtlety Rogue in The War Within
The War Within Patch 11.0.5 Changes to Subtlety Rogue
With the 11.0.5 Patch for WoW's 20th Anniversary, Subtlety received a handful of changes that had a big impact on the overall feel of the spec. Subtlety retained its fluid gameplay, with very little downtime, while still requiring high uptime on your target to not run out of resources. Invigorating Shadowdust, a highly controversial key-talent of previous iterations of the spec was removed, and the core gameplay loop and cooldown timings for Subtlety have changed slightly as a result. Read on for more information on all the changes to Subtlety and Rogue in general.
Notable Subtlety Rogue Changes
- Invigorating Shadowdust has been removed and replaced with Death Perception.
- Death Perception now provides 1/2 additional charge(s) of Symbols of Death and causes Symbols to increase your damage by an additional 3%/6%.
- Cut to the Chase now causes Eviscerate to apply Slice and Dice and extends its timer.
- Shadow Blades is now a 90 second cooldown which makes it perfectly line up with Flagellation, but its duration was nerfed from 20 seconds to 16 seconds. This is an massive nerf, as it prevents Subtlety from fully utilizing Danse Macabre with Secret Technique.
- Echoing Reprimand was changed and is now Supercharger
which makes finishers count as if they had two extra combo points after you activate Symbols of Death.
- With this change comes Forced Induction/ Echoing Reprimand, however Subtlety will always play Forced Induction. This increases the power of all finishers by an extra combo point.
Leveling a Subtlety Rogue
If you are planning on leveling a Rogue, make sure to check out our Leveling page below for tips regarding talents and more.
Addons make it easier to track important buffs and debuffs, which is why we recommend that you get used to them while leveling, so check out our addons page below. You can also find a few useful macros there.
Basics of Subtlety Rogue Gameplay
Subtlety Rogue is a spec that deals with multiple different resources and a bunch of cooldowns, which may seem daunting to a new player trying to pick up the spec. Understanding the core concept of the specialization makes it quite a bit simpler, which is that the goal is to stack as many cooldowns as possible to deal massive burst damage.
Cast Shadow Blades, Symbols of Death and Vanish on cooldown.
Maintain Slice and Dice and Rupture, cast Backstab, Shuriken Storm or Shadowstrike to generate Combo Points. Spend Combo Points on Eviscerate Rupture is about to fall off. The biggest change here is after spending Combo Points, refreshing Slice and Dice has is now largely handled by Cut to the Chase being added to Subtlety's baseline.
Outside of Shadow Dance, cast Shuriken Storm on 2+ targets. When Shadow Dance is active; cast it on 3+ targets.
If you are an absolute beginner to the spec, but would like to learn the basic fundamentals of the class, we recommend looking through the Spell Summary first, as well as the Easy Mode page linked below.
If you have previous experience with Rogues, you can head straight to the Talents and Rotation pages to jump right into the more complicated information regarding rotation and talents.
How to Gear Up as a Subtlety Rogue
Since the game offers so many routes of gearing now, be it through Mythic+, PvP or raiding, it is very difficult to list the exact best-in-slot items, as these often change for every character depending on what gear they are already wearing. Keep in mind that the best way to find out upgrades is by simulating your character. However, we will have Best in Slot items listed below from the current raid tier.
Important part of the gearing process is to make sure that you try to aim for gear that has good stats for Subtlety, along with proper gems, enchants and other consumables, as these provide you with a decent amount of DPS. Check out our dedicated stats page, as well as our enchants and gems page, to find out what to use as Subtlety Rogue.
End-Game as a Subtlety Rogue
Once you feel like you have the basics down and are ready to take the step into end-game content, whether it is PvP, Mythic+, or Raiding, we have pages that are ready to tell you optimal talents, tips and tricks and more below.
