Sub Rogue — What It Added to Your Raid | MC April 5, 2026
Summary
What having two Sub rogues actually meant for the raid this clear — Expose Armor coverage, group Attack Power windows, the crit loop, and individual breakdowns for all four rogues.
The Rogue Lineup
| Rogue | Spec | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Sepi | Subtlety | Raider |
| Belowjobs | Subtlety | New Member |
| Elrogal | Combat | Raider |
| Pussinbooger | Custom Poison | Officer |
What Sub Rogue Brings to Your Raid
Sub is not played for personal DPS. The rogue takes an 8–10% personal damage loss to run this toolkit. The payoff is that every physical damage dealer in the raid hits harder for the entire clear.
| Ability | Who Benefits | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Expose Armor | Full raid | -3,075 armor — further than Sunder's -2,600. ~3–5% more physical DPS raid-wide |
| 🔴 Mark for Death | Full group | +30% Attack Power for 8 sec every pull |
| 🟣 Shadow of Death | Full raid | Absorbs 50% of all raid damage on boss for 6 sec, detonates as physical |
| 🟡 Tricks of the Trade | Full group | Stacking crit bonus sustained by 5 CP finishers |
| 🔵 Honor Among Thieves | Self | Group crits give +5 energy — feeds the rotation loop |
| ⚪ Preparation | Self | Resets all cooldowns instantly |
How the Crit Loop Works
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | Garrote opener → Tricks of the Trade stack 1 — 100% guaranteed |
| 2 | 5 CP finisher → Tricks of the Trade stack 2 — group at max crit bonus |
| 3 | Group crits trigger Honor Among Thieves — +5 energy per crit |
| 4 | More energy → more Hemorrhage → more finishers |
| 5 | Finishers keep ToT stacks active → back to step 2 |
Both Sub rogues had this running all night — 232 combined Tricks of the Trade stacks and 1,402 Honor Among Thieves procs between them.
Expose Armor — Every Boss. Every Trash Pull.
334 applications across the full clear. Every one of those is a 30-second window where the entire raid's physical DPS is amplified.
| Target | Applications |
|---|---|
| Garr | 12 |
| Ragnaros | 6 |
| Baron Geddon | 5 |
| Sulfuron Harbinger | 4 |
| Shazzrah | 4 |
| Golemagg | 4 |
| Magmadar | 3 |
| Lucifron | 2 |
| Trash | 294 |
| Total | 334 |
Sepi — Subtlety
Full toolkit in use all night. Garrote re-stealth between every pull, Mark for Death on every fight, Shadow of Death on every boss. One of the best prepared players in the 40-man this clear.
| Hemorrhage | 821 |
| Mark for Death | 25 uses |
| Shadow of Death | 8 uses — 20,820 damage |
| Preparation | 11 uses |

Belowjobs — Subtlety
Strong debut clear. Heavy Expose Armor coverage across every boss and nearly every trash pull in the instance. Crit loop running throughout with 110 ToT stacks and 617 HaT procs keeping the group buffed.

| Tricks of the Trade stacks | 110 |
| Honor Among Thieves procs | 617 |

Elrogal — Combat
Consistent output all night and one of the better prepared rogues in the raid. Fire and arcane protection potions show good awareness of what MC throws at you. 14 Noggenfogger Elixirs are also noted. We see you. 👀
| Sinister Strike | 55 |
| Eviscerate | 50 |
| Consumables | 40 |
| Fire + Arcane protection potions | 6 |
Pussinbooger — Custom Poison Build
Running something you rarely see — a full Noxious Assault and Instant Poison build that puts up numbers in a completely different way. Flask of the Titans in the bag from the start.
| Noxious Assault | 338 |
| Instant Poison VI procs | 757 |
| Flask of the Titans | ✅ |
What Two Sub Rogues Added to This Clear
| 🟢 | 334 | Expose Armor applications — bosses and trash, all night |

| 🟡 | 232 | Tricks of the Trade stacks — group crit bonus running all clear |

Every warrior, hunter, and rogue in this raid dealt more damage because of them. That is the spec working exactly as intended.
