Subtlety Rogue rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Shadow Dance segments built around the burst the boss script asks for.
Rice Rotations reads your Subtlety Rogue from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Subtlety Rogue profile plays
Subtlety is a burst window spec built on Shadow Dance. Rice keeps Symbols of Death aligned with Dance, uses Shadowstrike inside the window, fills with Backstab or Gloomblade outside it, and keeps Rupture up so the finishers land into a live bleed.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Subtlety Rogue settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Shadow Blades, Secret Technique and Flagellation are spent inside the Dance windows rather than scattered, and the profile builds combo points before the window opens so the burst is finishers rather than builders.
What the Subtlety Rogue rotation handles
- Symbols of Death aligned with Shadow Dance
- Combo points built before the window opens
- Rupture uptime for finisher value
- Kick on interrupts, Feint, Evasion and Cloak of Shadows on damage
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Raid protects the Dance and Symbols alignment. In Mythic+ it moves to Shuriken Storm and Black Powder cleave and still keeps the burst windows intact, which is a lot of sequencing to hold together by hand.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Subtlety Rogue questions
- Does the profile align Dance and Symbols?
- Yes. The alignment is the spec, so the profile sequences the buffs and the window instead of pressing them when they light up.
- Is Subtlety a good spec to automate?
- It is one of the highest sequencing specs in the game, so a profile that never mistimes a window gains a lot compared to hands.
