Beginner's Guide to Subtlety Rogue PvE Part1

Be sure to watch Part2 afterwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx0ylbO2F4Q

Hi Everyone! I've played nothing but Subtlety during Cataclysm and put some effort into make a video on how to play the spec in dungeons and raids. If this peeks your interest then give it a look :)

Keep in mind that this video was made during Patch 4.0.6 and all of this information could become invalid in future patches.

This is not a video saying that Subtlety is the best dps spec for Rogues in a PvE environment. This is a guide and nothing more. I also don't talk about strategies per boss fight, multiple adds, or how to time the free combo points correctly so you don't waste any. This is for beginners.

Large props to my guild for being so awesome during the boss footage and to Persephone for making a guide on how to make WoW videos.

FAQ:

What Addons are you using?

Power Auras is the addon showing my timers, combo points, and warnings. ForteXorcist is the addon keeping track of my ability cooldowns (the bar below my character). The addon recording my group's damage done is called Skada. And the addon I use to show cleaner nameplates is called TidyPlates.

i have a 85 druid on bronze dragonflight ... add me ... my name is nandoso

[DanielGames604]

@DeathsDragonTV I don't play wow anymore.

[VarickTV]

Hey Daniel, is this still a guide worth following? Or should I be finding some other video?

[DanielGames604]

@VarickTV This video is fine. There's been a lot of discussion about using glyph of hemo and keeping the hemo dot up on the EJ forums (and other things to do with hemo) but I have yet to see anything official. For small updates, check out the subtlety pve guides on either mmo or wowhead. Hemo did recieve a giant damage buff so it's very likely that we'll have to keep it up.

@DanielGames604 u_u,

[neacsuflorincosmin]

I love the music. Relaxing

[DanielGames604]

@pantheist87 Glad to hear that. I'll admit that I came up with a much cleaner ui since that video but it's main point was to introduce players in how to use power auras :)

@DanielGames604 I gotcha. Sub PvE has definitely become more viable in 4.2 btw- I've been pulling 30k+dps in firelands. Thanks for the power auras strings btw- I used them as the basis for mine and it has been very helpful
