    Legion, Subtlety & Keybinds (2nd set)

    For you Sub Rogues out there, what are your plans for binding your second set of Sap, Cheap Shot & Shadowstrike, and how will it differ from how you currently bind those spells for Shadowdance vs Stealth (if any)?

    Still trying to figure that out myself...but it seems superfluous to have two sets of binds for the same ability (not talking Focus target modifiers and the like), thus leaving me to think that the only ability that will be left on the actual Stealth bar will be Pick Pocket...

    I will flay your mind.

    As i've said in several threads(i try to get the info out as much as i can)

    There are a few ways to get around blizzards knuckleheadedness with the stealth bar during shadow dance.

    The non ToS breaking way is to build macros containing /changeactionbar X. Where X is the bar you wish to page to.

    The above is the way i've been practicing - i have shadow dance macro'ed to bar page to stealth bar (default is bar 7 i think), and evisc pages back.
    You have to remember that pressing either bind will always execute the paging, but not always execute ShD or evisc, which are cp and energy dependent.

    The other way is to use /changeactionbar macros in combination with keyboard macros.
    Experimenting, i've been able to setup macros with my keyboard and in-game in such a way that when i press Shadow Dance, my bar pages to stealth bar for 2.94-3.23 seconds (my keyboard software includes the ability to insert random delays between keypress events to reduce chances of "bot" detection)

    These solutions to not require shadowdance to have a stance hook and don't need shadow dance tied to paging at all

    The only thing that changes for me on live when I go into stealth/sd is the bs-ambush, everything else is the same for me and since sub lost garrotte and gauge in Legion, I could easily put ss in garrotte's place. I had to do some other tweaks too, like changing @Focus shiv to nightblade, premed to shadow blades and on-use trinket to sod, but that's pretty much all for me.
