idk maybe a disclaimer somewhere would help people

regal agate
boreal patrol
#

good idea fuu, we should put that on the TC site

novel lava
#

youโ€™re right, everybody reads the small print when they have big bars they can look at instead

#

having all the data available for 1 setup, and none for the other which is what weโ€™ll be progressing with, doesnโ€™t seem like the best way to help people

boreal patrol
#

[5:45 PM] Mystler: sure, as i said we plan to release more of those

#

just be patient ๐Ÿ˜‰

there will be more ST sims, and we have different MT fightstyles in the pipeline as well once Aethys new CPU is ready

is there a way to look at the profile for the gloves mantle simulation?

#

Hello, I'm trying to download the SimC file and unzipping to get it open

#

I'm stuck ,need help please!

lime fox
#

also wouldnt mind seeing the profile for t21 gloves/mantle if anyone knows where to find it

gray flume
#

Are other people seeing that no grouping of heroic T21 is simming higher for you than maintaining 4pc T20? Iโ€™m simming with mantle/gloves, but havenโ€™t changed talents yet from the relatively standard Sub build.

lime fox
#

i simmed t21 mythic 4p over my current gear, gaining 9 avg ilvl was a 50k dps loss

#

havent tried over variants

#

both with gloves/mantle

#

Ok cool

#

Not uncommon then

#

Im outlaw

#

So I see a nice increase

#

Even if I simulate full mythic tier outlaw w/ bis relics and level 75 weapon, it doesnโ€™t catch up to where Iโ€™m at with Sub right now.

#

...with zero Antorus gear

storm vault
#

I mean, according to sims, outlaw is higher

#

Well atleast simc profiles

gray flume
#

?

#

Sub 2.146 mil
Outlaw 2.044 mil on the website

tawny arch

#

and even thatโ€™s slightly outdated since outlaw is apparently like 50k ahead atm

But I mean whoโ€™s knows what will happen with tuning of t21 and aura buffs in the next like 2 weeks

you know, you can also contribute to simcscripts so it's automatically simmed and displayed on the tc website ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

and if some display are missing, you can also add it to the tc website source code

it's all open source ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Anyone here using the CrucibleWeights addon? I found all the values in the spreadsheet for each trait and crucible trait but the weapon iLvL was only worth 0,13%

#

Im just wondering if I should put in 0.13 at the iLvl window ingame when putting in values? Or do I need to calculate what that is worth when comparing to the other trqits cause 0.13 seems BAAAAD when other cruicble tier 2 traits and at 53.41 or something

Hi if i go to simcraft site i Can see what tier Pieces sub sims with for 4 set, however not for 2 set. Do anyone know what gear profile is used for 2piece t21+2 piece t20?

t20 mythic

and t21 whatever you were looking at

iirc

No but i mean what pieces of t21 i used together with what Pieces of t20

#

I'm assuming Simc currently only sims the Pantheon trinks based on no one else having one, is there a snippet I can use to emulate my raid having varied #'s of them?

regal agate

tho you can map any trinket distribution with the folowing command:
legion.pantheon_trinket_users=

@regal agate you forgot haste modifiers

huh?

Aggramar 1.4
Aman'thul 1.4
Golganneth 1.8 x haste
Eonar 1.2 x haste
Khaz'goroth 1.4

#

Golga & Eonar are hasted

#

so you want to specificy the haste for them

#

so you have the real rppm

#

and not the base one

regal agate
#

oh, how to add them to the sim?

Hello. How do I see the gear and further sim info on the different builds? I see the tier 21 Sims and their damage/talents, but how do I see gear equipped and stat amounts?

boreal patrol
#

there is no special view for the gearsets as my script combines them without us having detailed reports atm

#

we have plans to extend those views and display gearsets in the future

trail jolt
#

Not sure if I can ask for help here

How do I fix this?

was there a question?

#

@fiery tangle
I've been simming higher with insignia of ravenholdt + shoulders than with hands + shoulders for the past couple months. The legendaries are close enough that your other gear can tip the balance of which ones sim best.

Yep, shoulders/glovesa re still 10k ahead for me, but thats real close

torn dome
#

Yes

#

6cp

maiden cargo
#

Why wouldn't you BS>SoD>BS>DFA?

torn dome
#

And waste all of gloves?

maiden cargo
#

Wouldn't energetic gain and sod being used only 2gcd before dfa better?

torn dome
#
  1. Sod on cd
  2. You still cover dance
maiden cargo
#

But you may also not cover finality on dfa

torn dome
#

What. Dfa is cast 4s after sod

#

Sod is 10

maiden cargo
#

Sure, but if you evisc before dfa consuming finality

#

And then miss finality on dfa

torn dome
#

Apl never was about finality

maiden cargo
#

Hem...yes thats why im here talking

torn dome
#

You asked whats the double bs for

maiden cargo
#

Yeah

#

@torn dome

#

surely that cant be good

#

Missing a shadowstrike due to energy level

torn dome
#

Not energy. Something else. And you should bug fuu about it. He upkeeps sub

regal agate
#

@maiden cargo was no win to add a condition to dfa with 5 cp's

#

2nd pic showes evi quite long after shadowstrike so it cant put in another ss (shd ended before)

torn dome
#

But it wastes gloves

regal agate
#

what you mean?

#

it overcaps on cp due to 2x bs

torn dome
#

Second pic

#

First pic is fine

regal agate
#

ss procs gloves

#

not sure why it does not symbols-evi-vanish-ss tho

torn dome
#

5/6 cp and it uses gloves buffed ss

#

So wastes 5

regal agate
#

ye i need to look into it

torn dome
#

:ok_hand:

#

Orher than that it is imo fine

regal agate
#

but i am not sure why it does evi that late during shd

torn dome
#

Thats another weird part ye

regal agate
#

evi is 35 energy and it evis at 48

#

sht proc + ticks of t20 can make the energy lvl higher, but this seems a bit off

#

@maiden cargo can you link me the report?

maiden cargo
#

Think it's default profile

regal agate
#

would be nice if you could link the report or profile

maiden cargo
#

I am at uni I checked this when I woke up

#

Will try and find it when I'm home

regal agate
#

k

maiden cargo
#

It's just odd to dfa at 30 energy

#

Doesn't seem efficient at all

torn dome
#

You can dfa at 0 and do full rotation afaik

regal agate
#

no^^

torn dome
#

Or well. 25 as thats the 0 point

#

But you get the idea

regal agate
#

its no issue with hands

#

and without, pooling is a loss due to on use trinkets

regal agate
#

added a condition to fix the 5 cp vanish for handst, it does not gain dps while creating noise in the apl that already is hard to read.

light void
#

got a question tho

#

not rogue related

#

if you got for example the soul-ring on a class where it adds 0 damage to ST

#

you could expect similar simresults if you use a utility legendary instead

#

(obv if the pieces you would switch out are equal)

#

am I right?

regal agate
#

some classes benefit well from legendary items like prydaz or sephuz

#

a non dps legendary can be decent/good on other classes

light void
#

the example there was the soul-ring on frost dk. it gives you a skill you will never use on ST.
on the other hand you got for example the plate-boots as another choice

#

you could expect similar results from it I guess, maybe the boots are a bit better bcs of the str, but you know what I mean

regal agate
#

every legendary has also a different stat budget that contributes to the overall impact

leaden terrace
ashen crater
#

I just compared it to a 910 eye of command on my sub rogue and it's about 13k worse. Close enough I'd recommend you sim it though.

lofty kiln
#

The question is if anyone bothered implementing the proc effect

#

It's possible that it's taking into account just the stats

merry pike
#

Check the sim

#

That u run

ashen crater
#

Yeah the fel barbs contributed 0.9% dmg

leaden terrace
#

Dumb sim question, but where do you find the codes for other trinkets to test them?

#

I too am getting about .9% from the barbs as assassination

jade berry
#

you can find them on wowhead

#

like if you search arcano crystal, theres a grey links button on the right side of the page

#

it has a simcraft format of however you ahve the item rolled ex: trinket1=unstable_arcanocrystal,id=141482,bonus_id=3466/1472

#

or the simulationcraft addon can give you the info from everything in your inventory

unkempt comet
#

Is it possible to get the trinket strings used for the ravenholdt sims so I can plug it into my character profile and sim it or should I just use raidbots gear compare? I feel like the first option would give me a more accurate idea of what ilvl X trinket needs to be

#

I'm not a super advanced user of simcraft so I'm not sure how to snag it myself

split sorrel
#

use simcscripts

unkempt comet
#

ok tyvm

#

wait, is that straight up simscript.com or is this something entirely different?

unkempt comet
#

like i said, I'm not familar with advanced sims, I mostly know how to copy and paste simc info

split sorrel
#

simcscripts on github

#

but u need ruby to run it

#

so it's not very "noob friendly"

#

but not very hard too

unkempt comet
#

Ok, I imagine I can find a tutorial or something. Ty

boreal patrol
#

if you just want trinket strings you can also get them from wowhead (links button on the item page)

unkempt comet
#

I was just hoping to get the input you used for the ravenholdt trinket sims so I could get all the ilvl variations and even the pantheon trinket stuff but like I said, I'm not really acquainted with simcraft as far as advanced scripts go. I mostly just copy/paste strings from the rogue pins for like talents etc

split sorrel
#

it uses profilesets

#

so you'll likely not be able to use it in simc gui like you might think

#

to display it like on the website, you have to uses a script that generate some data, then generate some other file (a view, i.e. an html file) to display them

#

it's not hard to do if u're a dev / used to setup things (readme contains everything you should know), although as a beginner it might be hard

boreal patrol
#

note to self: the readme is not perfectly up-to-date anymore

#

running a personalized trinket sim is not hard though, in fact, if you are able to setup ruby, you can just drop your character profile to a file and let the script calculate

#

you should be able to open the csv result in any spreadsheet software

unkempt comet
#

Hmmm, yea I have very limited knowledge of ruby. Its used for alot of the custom scripts in RPG maker, so I have seen it and modified it before, just never written anything from the ground up

split sorrel
#

you don't have to

#

just install it and run the appropriate script

#

what gear sets were used for the heroic sims on ravenholdt? just like the ones on simc just 15ilvl below?

#

Did rogue sims tested the T2 Crusible ring ? if any combinations of relics make it usable ?

split sorrel
#

yes

#

see rh-tc website

#

ring is called "crucible"

vagrant quail
#

what are the T2 used in those sims ?

split sorrel
#

ttw x3

#

aka bis

vagrant quail
#

but for sin MasterOfShadows is ahead and scales well

#

maybe it could change the numbers ?

#

from 1500 mastery to 2250 with the ring

boreal patrol
#

crucible is always used with the spec profiles t2 traits which are the best for each

#

for assa it also distinguished between poison and exsg

poison is MoS, exsg shocklight

@manic pulsar
I've been playing around with simming now
and i'm trying to figure if subterfuge or Nightstalker is better for Sin. without shoulders.
but i'm looking at the NS opener and this is kinda weird.
what's this poison knife for?

manic pulsar
#

@willow pecan that's probably in there from back when agonizing poison was a thing - I need to update that part of the opener.

willow pecan
#

i see
btw, we've reached the day where AMR gives me higher output than SimC
SimC need a bit of work on sin APL as well ๐Ÿ˜…

manic pulsar
#

heh, well, I can update that tomorrow - assassin opener generally makes a pretty small difference on overall DPS, it's really in there for fun

#

I assume your guide has what you'd consider is the latest and greatest?

maiden cargo
#

hey guys, when simming with raidbots my stat weights have a lot of variance from sim to sim, is that normal

willow pecan
#

@manic pulsar well i'm working on updating it right now, and we're trying to figure out an opener for subterfuge with TB without shoulders

#

since boots/wrist seems to give better results

#

i haven't add anything about it yet

manic pulsar
#

ok

#

I can take a crack at it too, see what we come up with

willow pecan
#

awesome

#

so far what i'm using is:

#

Garrote > KB > Mut > vendetta > rupture > TB > Mut > envenom >>>>> vanish when Garrote is in pandemic range and not at full CPs > garrote

manic pulsar
#

I wonder if using KB before vendetta is maybe going to lose damage overall?

That's what wEak is thinking as well

Hello guys.. is there a gear list already?

#

No there isn't dues to WF/TF, but get your stats weight and keep simming yourself after few pieces to get the rough idea of your top two stats

fair crow
#

!legendary

verbal latch
#

@fair crow Check the spec channel pinned for legendaries list

manic pulsar
#

@willow pecan I posted an update to the rotation that took out that out-dated case with poisoned knife. I also did some toying around with the opener. I find the best opener to be:
Garrote, Mutilate, Rupture, Vendetta, Toxic Blade, Kingsbane, Mutilate, Envenom - into normal rotation (which would refresh garrote with vanish, like you mentioned).
I tried your opener and it's really close in damage to this one. It's actually a bit tricky to test because the changes are so small. I set the fight length to 60 seconds to test, so that KB would be used exactly 3 times and Vendetta 2 times regardless of when I used them in the opener. If I test on a longer fight with fight variance, Using KB and/or Vendetta earlier in the opener can result in an extra use of either once in a while, which negates any gain from the opener.
If you're looking for pure opener damage, though, I think the one I just posted is going to be it.

#

(this is all for the non-mantle case you were talking about yesterday)

sounds about right

@manic pulsar thanks, really appriciate it ๐Ÿ™‚
weak has been working on trying to figure how why does garrote sim better than NS without T20

it sims higher in AMR as well

maybe you've got some insight into this

I don't think I have a particular insight - that's one of those things that's too hard to figure out without a simulator ๐Ÿ˜‰

gray flume
#

@white wren if you use the following you can sim all of the possible combinations of T21 on your toon, assuming youโ€™re wearing mantle and gloves. You can add lines similar for using bracers and mantle.

copy="T21 4-pc"
legs=",id=152164,ilevel=945"
head=",id=152163,ilevel=945"
back=",id=152161,ilevel=945,enchant=200agi"
chest=",id=152160,ilevel=945"

copy="T21 H+C"
head=",id=152163,ilevel=945"
back=",id=152161,ilevel=945,enchant=200agi"

copy="T21 H+V"
head=",id=152163,ilevel=945"
chest=",id=152160,ilevel=945"

copy="T21 H+P"
head=",id=152163,ilevel=945"
legs=",id=152164,ilevel=945"

copy="T21 C+V"
back=",id=152161,ilevel=945,enchant=200agi"
chest=",id=152160,ilevel=945"

copy="T21 C+P"
back=",id=152161,ilevel=945,enchant=200agi"
legs=",id=152164,ilevel=945"

copy="T21 V+P"
chest=",id=152160,ilevel=945"
legs=",id=152164,ilevel=945"

#

Itโ€™s set to heroic ilvl, so you can modify that also

ashen crater
#

@gray flume You'll need to tell each of those copies to use the original set up as the starting point, otherwise each one will just build on the previous (in this case results in them all being the same).

for example, if you name your original set up "base", then the head + cloak section would be

copy="T21 H+C",base
head=",id=152163,ilevel=945"
back=",id=152161,ilevel=945,enchant=200agi"

gray flume
#

In my copy it does

#

I just took my character out so that someone else could use it

#

But yes, you are correct, the base does need to be added

gray flume
#

but technically I believe the formatting should be:

copy="T21 H+C,base"
head=",id=152163,ilevel=945"
back=",id=152161,ilevel=945,enchant=200agi"

where "base" is your character name. Or at least that's the formatting that simpermut/raidbots uses

timid rampart
#

@split sorrel whenever I check the trinket lists I feel like itโ€™s kinda messy with the 2 Pantheon trinket and the 5 and 15 man versions of it. While I can see itโ€™s helpful it would be cool to have an option to exclude those trinkets from the list so itโ€™s easier to compare the non-pantheon trinkets. (If that makes sense)

@timid rampart Yes but how would you display it by default ? Although adding the option to mask one by clicking on it isn't a bad idea

timid rampart

The default version right now is great just having the option to hide the pantheon sims would be great to get a clearer view of the non-panth trinkets.

hey, sorry to bother, am i missing something or the apl for assassin has something weird ? my T20 4pc /W subterfuge & shoulders sims doesnt garrote in the vanish subterfuge window of the pull ?

#

should i send my resut html ?

zealous mason
#

ok dug a little deeper :
actions.maintain+=/garrote,cycle_targets=1,if=talent.subterfuge.enabled&stealthed.rogue&combo_points.deficit>=1&set_bonus.tier20_4pc&((dot.garrote.remains<=13&!debuff.toxic_blade.up)|pmultiplier<=1)&!exsanguinated
seems to be the culprit, since the debuff from toxic blade seems definitely up. That or maybe Rogue isn't considered stealthed during Subterfuge (also don't know what this "pmultiplier" thing is) ? Maybe I am not asking in the right place ?

ashen crater
#

@zealous mason I think I remember this being mentioned a few months ago and the answer was that not garroting there gave better sim results. However if you can find a change to that line that increases dps let us know. Note the ! Before toxic blade means "not". Also i think pmultiplier is a variable that should be defined towards the beginning of the apl.

iron elk
#

energy_regen_combined
return a float/integer?

zealous mason
#

Thanks @ashen crater. Yes I noticed the "!" and at that point in the fight the debuff is applied, so requiring that it is not applied was the culprit. I could sim without requiring that the TB debuff to be not present, and it is now garroting after vanish, and simmed higher for my character (940 ilvl, 146,6% mastery 32.4 crit 10% vers), by a small margin, unsure if that's significant. (3.1 K dps, on 1429k against 1432k). The reason I am digging into this is that I find really odd that subterfuge sin rogue comes out ahead without 4pcT20. (a 5cp rupture with Vanish and NS is 2700 % attack power, a subterfuge garrot is 1822,5 attack power on paper.)

#

Also I noticed that in 730-03, vendetta is cast at the very beggining of the fight, partially ignoring its energy regen component, while it was not the case in 730-02 (or maybe I am mistaken). Any reason for this ?

@split sorrel there is an issue with cruweight strings on herodamage. Havoc string has individual weights for specific amount of critical chaos relics.

The Action list here should clearly be : Backstab > DFA > Symbol + Danse > Evi > SS > Evi etc (bc of shadow gesture proc)

That might be why T21 4p sims so low

#

What the heck

#

@near escarp

#

this is 100% T21 proc

near escarp
#

Whatd I do

maiden cargo
#

check the fluffy pillow

#

@gleaming valley you would sod+Dfa but yeah

#

can you send the profile

#

what concerns me is the shadow dance

#

3 ss into nb

near escarp
#

Is this gloves

maiden cargo
#

yes

#

but im guessing its t21 4p

near escarp
#

Doesn't make sense for gloves, non gloves the dance sequence doesn't make sense

maiden cargo
#

so like

#

the evis>dfa makes sense

near escarp
#

No gloves you can evis and dfa

maiden cargo
#

cuz t21 4p proc

near escarp
#

Ya

maiden cargo
#

but

#

3SS into NB

#

hmm

near escarp
#

Yah that's questionable

maiden cargo
#

but hm

#

I wonder if you could use t21 proc better

#

in any case there is an energy issue here

#

which is quite impactful, missing evis in shd

near escarp
#

Yeah I thought the apl wasn't supposed to do nb during dance

maiden cargo
#

Well you can see that torrent is used

#

100% energy issue

near escarp
#

Looks like dance ended yeah

#

Prob has a clause to not evis at 4cp

#

And also it's allowed to nb during symbols

maiden cargo
#

what

#

you shouldnt nb during sod tho

#

thats kinda dumb

near escarp
#

4p T21 will never fit 3ss without vigor or shadow focus tho

#

And clearly there's neither here

#

So it's doing 3ss into nothing because it doesn't want to evis at 4cp and no shadow tech proc

maiden cargo
#

yeah thats why i want profile

#

to see

#

thats hopefully a NS profile with t21 hands

near escarp
#

hands could do evis > symbols + evis > bs > DFA

#

but thats a lot of energy dumped

#

idk

split sorrel
#

I don't have time to look into but I guess @boreal patrol or @regal agate will check it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

regal agate
#

i am not sure if that change is rly a win

#

as we shift evi into dance, this mean we lose builder during it

#

i can try it in apl tomorrow

maiden cargo
#

The APL also decides to waste gloves with Shadow Gestures

regal agate
#

yes that was the change mystler did

maiden cargo
#

surely there is an issue with the dance here

near escarp
#

wwait thats really a hands profile?

regal agate
#

and it does not make sense to finish with low cp

maiden cargo
#

I mean it does

#

3ss into nb

regal agate
#

yes its hands

maiden cargo
#

Surely you can fix it

#

probably with pooling condition

regal agate
#

the 3xss into nb is fine

#

the nightblade is after dance

maiden cargo
#

So?

#

you miss 1 spell in your dance cause of energy

#

which is an eviscerate

near escarp
#

oh i see fist of the dead in there now, i was looking at it from my phone earlier

#

evis > symbols + evis > bs > DFA

#

why doesnt it do this

maiden cargo
#

yep

regal agate
#

bc. you are on 6 cp after evi

#

due to the t21 4p

near escarp
#

no you use the shadow gesture proc with symbols

#

evis > symbols + evis (shadow gesture refund) > bs > DFA

regal agate
#

ye delaying symbols could work in that scenario

near escarp
#

yeah you delay symbols but the free finisher cancels out the delay due to 2p

#

and you still save your glove cp gen

#

you should come out on top

@near escarp @halcyon mortar @maiden cargo Profile used is mantle gloves, 4p t21, sim ver updated with 2017-12-06 23:37, basic APL from when you import your rogue from armory, talents 1110013

#

Also Scenario A : Backstab > DFA > Symbol + Danse > Evi > SS > Evi > SS
is way better than Scenario B : Backstab > Evi > Symbole + Evi > Backstab > DFA > Danse > SS > etc for numerous reasons :

  1. you delay your DFA by 3 gcds in Scenario B
  2. 1 of your Evi is out of symboles, and 2 are out of danse in Scenario B
  3. You have a Nightblade to refresh at the end of that danse so you don't wanna delay the DFA
  4. In scenario A you end your danse with lot of energy allowing you to refresh NB quicker
  5. You have no SB active so you'd probably DFA at 5cp in Scenario B
near escarp
#

for point 1, doesnt DFA into symbols take 1s, whereas evis into symbols evis also takes 1s

orchid bramble
#

are you suggesting refreshing nightblade during symbols ?

near escarp
#

point 3 is valid though, does seem like nightblade is running out

gleaming valley
#

@near escarp Symbols CD is something RNG, relying on SB uptime and Shadow gesture proc, so the Offensive CD that has to be taken into account is not symbols imo (cd is from 17 sec to 23 sec) but DFA which is 20 sec

#

I don't want to delay my DFA, I can delayh my symbols if it's CD gets too low

near escarp
#

fair enough, i see no problems with scenario b

#

just be mindful on when you press the symbols going down, you cant hit it the first opportunity you get

gleaming valley
#

DFA is 3gcd later on scenario b

near escarp
#

dfa action lockout is 1s and the evis comes at 1.5s

#

your manual evis comes at 2s and the ss comes at 3s

gleaming valley
#

Ye smth like this

near escarp
#

so just have to hit symbols/dance closer to the dfa evis

gleaming valley
#

Ok I should have written this Backstab > DFA > Symbol + Danse > Evi(DFA) > Evi > SS > Evi > SS

#

is this better ?

near escarp
#

no thats fine im just saying

#

if you want the cp from gloves

gleaming valley
#

I get them with the SS

near escarp
#

you have to press symbols and dance a little slower

#

lets say you hit DFA at 0, symbols/dance at 1, evis at 2, ss at 3

#

you wont get the cp

gleaming valley
#

Gloves is 2sec

near escarp
#

you have to symbols/dance closer to 1.5

#

from 1-1.5s

#

in that range

gleaming valley
#

Yes ofc

#

You don't have to think of anything if you do it on the dummy though

#

It just goes by itself

near escarp
#

shouldnt be a problem for the apl though

#

because they use dance 1.4s into dfa

#

i think overall your scenario is much better than what the apl is doing

#

since the current apl doesnt use cp from gloves

gleaming valley
#

I'm just wondering, does APL allow DFA into Symbol danse ever ?

near escarp
#

i havent seen it

gleaming valley
#

I mean I don't remember seeing it by looking at sample sequence, maybe my memory is just bad (I know it is)

#

But this is a powerful tool since it allows to get a finality evi on DFA more often

#

Without delaying dfa

near escarp
#

using symbols after DFA has been simmed before by Fuu for a dps loss, but i didnt take a look at it

#

but i havent seen the apl use symbols after DFA ever

gleaming valley
#

I think it should definatly be reconsidered, with the DFA hotfix on sim from november 21 where it missed 50% dmg about 50% of the time on average

#

I also think going 15k mastery with GutRippers instead of 15k crit with Weak Points should be reconsidered with this kind of fixed APL

regal agate
#

@gleaming valley
ad 1: you delay symbols by approximately 2 seconds instead of 1 delaying dfa is no issue
ad 2: its no issue to evi out of symbols, this means you get more empowered builder (2 cp builder) instead
ad 3: delaying symbols cast may end up refreshing nightblade, this would mean you wont need to refresh it during symbols and additional you would not lose a evi cast during symbols

torn dome
#

@Andryl#7403 Where did you pull said profiles?
As cof is already used in default ol profile and it should also be dwarf not nelf

regal agate
#

@near escarp dfa into symbols works in the apl, you need to add a line and adjust conditions to make it work, it is a loss to dfa into symbols outside of special scenarios

gleaming valley
#

@halcyon mortar

  1. Delaying dfa is a big issue. Its cd is 20 sec it means you can put 3 per minute. You wanna have symbol up every DFA. If you delay DFA on symbol you loose DFA per fight and thus symbols. DFA is the thing not to delay, not the symbols.
  2. I don't know what you mean by 2cp builder. Main damage source are finisher if I can choose between more Evi or more backstab in my symbol I'll definatly take the first option.
  3. Symbol cd is between 17-23 sec with 4p t21, nightblade duration is 16-18 sec, meaning that mathematically you have to refresh NB at some point during the symbols, if you try to avoid that too much you'd loose finality : E before the dfa. I'd rather have a DFA buffed by finality than a Evi buffed by 15% symbols
regal agate
#

using evi during dance is a loss compared to ss

maiden cargo
#

What?

gleaming valley
#

with 15k crit build

#

instead of 15k mastery

#

And weak points

#

instead of GR

regal agate
#

you get symbols every ~25 secounds with t21 2p (without t20 4p additional)

#

to be clear do we talk about t20 4p + t21 2p?

gleaming valley
#

#

Look at messages above

#

I wrote a post about why it sims so low

#

when it's actually really good

regal agate
#

sry can you summ it up, i just see your 5 points i already discussed

gleaming valley
#

Is this correct to you ?

torn dome
#

why not

maiden cargo
#

3ss into nb due to bad pooling

#

bad use of shadow gestures

#

should evisc-sod-evisc-bs-(bs)-dfa

torn dome
#

so then dfa lands out of nb?

maiden cargo
#

?

#

then refresh NB better??

#

it's supposed to be 10seconds duration for sod

#

which lets 4gcd before using dfa

regal agate
#

its a edge case

#

as you have a condition that says to not refresh nb during symbols it does evi

#

and then after shadowdance it does apply nb

#

as it falls off

maiden cargo
#

yeah I can see that happening

#

still im fairly certain something can be done here

torn dome

gleaming valley
#

Backstab > DFA > Symbol + Danse > Evi(DFA) > Evi > SS > Evi > SS should be the way to go

maiden cargo
#

hmm, idk, dfa>sod has always been a loss

#

and if you want to use gloves on dropdown, then you just sod+dfa

#

and use the shadowstrike after dropdown

#

you have like 0.1 second for it

gleaming valley
#

I think this is a mistake

#

For two reasons

#

first : On november 21 aethys fixed an issue where DFA was missing 50% dmg about 50% of the time on avg

#

underestimating DFA's dmg

#

Second : The current APL doesn't take finality:evi into consideration

#

it's not using symbols appropriately to get a finality before dfa when it's actually a powerful tool to get the finality more often

maiden cargo
#

if you wanna get finality here is what you do

#

No finality: SOD-Evisc-BS-(bs)-DfA

#

Finality: SOD-DFA-ShD-Shadowstrike

gleaming valley
#

Finality : DFA > SoD + ShD > SS

maiden cargo
#

(the shadowstrike on second case procs gloves)

gleaming valley
#

YOu don't get the gloves proc if you do that

#

Wait do you

"No finality: SOD-Evisc-BS-(bs)-DfA
Finality: SOD-DFA-ShD-Shadowstrike"

maiden cargo
#

Yeah it's only for "pro players"

gleaming valley
#

Nah pro player wouldn't do that

#

It's inconsistent

maiden cargo
#

They do

#

I know people from top 5 guild doing it

gleaming valley
#

Trying to make it consistent with macros

#

If they use it, it means they have a way to make it consistent

#

It's too high risk low reward for it to be pulled if it's not consistent

#

w/e I got carried away from the topic

#

So is the APL already doing this for finality ?

#

what you said earlier

maiden cargo
#

No

gleaming valley
#

Ok found it

#

#showtooltip Death from above
/cast [talent:7/3] Symbols of Death
/cast [talent:7/3] Death from above

#

#showtooltip Shadow Dance
/use [nostance] Shadow Dance
/cast Shadowstrike

#

Using macro 1 then spamming macro 2 makes it consistent

#

Without risk of using two danse you can spam macro 2

#

Thank you very much for the trick

#

it's actually pretty insane

#

So there is actually 3 cases

#

mb 4

#
  1. no shadow gesture no finality
#

SOD-Evisc-BS-(bs)-DfA

#
  1. no shadow gesture finality
#

SOD-DFA-ShD-Shadowstrike

#
  1. shadow gesture no finality
#

Evi > Dfa > SoD + ShD > Evi > SS > Evi

#
  1. Shadow gesture finality
#

DFA > SoD + ShD > Evi > SS > Evi

#

wait mb 3 is wrong

maiden cargo
#

Quite don't understand case 3)

gleaming valley
#

ye

#

Mb just ignore finality in case 3

#

Or ignore gloves

#

:thunkang:

#

well pbly ignore finality since it waste a finisher to ignore gloves or shadow gesture

maiden cargo
#

Ye

gleaming valley
#

So 3) shadow gesture no finality would go like 4)

maiden cargo
#

As I said, dfa>sod is most likely a loss

gleaming valley
#

So what would you do for 3 and 4 ?

maiden cargo
#

Evisc-sod-evisc-bs-(BS)-dfa

gleaming valley
#

Ok let's sum up pros & cons

#

Pros of doing Scenario A : DFA > SoD + ShD > Evi > SS > Evi :

#

You don't delay DFA

#

You use every proc efficientely under a danse, symbols, etc

#

Cons : You don't buff the spinning thingy part of dfa by 15%
You don't have finality : e for the dfa

#

Pros of doing scenario B : Evisc-sod-evisc-bs-(BS)-dfa :
You get finality eviscerate for dfa

#

Cons : One evi is out of symbols, 2 are out of danse

#

You delay DFA by 3 (4) gcd

#

you risk procing shadow gesture again by using 1(2) bs

maiden cargo
#

Would need to sim but sims showed it was bad

#

With t20 tho so idk

#

Was 100k dps loss

gleaming valley
#

What was bad ?

#

t21 ?

maiden cargo
#

Dfa>sod

gleaming valley
#

Smth must be wrong tbh

#

loosing 15% on spinning thingy from dfa

#

doesn't make 100k dps difference

#

Ok let's try to estimate it

#

Assuming dfa's spinning part is 2m/use

#

Assuming you use 3 dfa per minute

#

6m dmg per minute

#

15% makes it 900k

#

per 60 sec makes it 15k dps

#

This is a upper bound estimation

#

since you have max 3dfa per minute

#

and 2m/whirmling is kinda big also

maiden cargo
#

Just talk with fuu about it

#

He is the one that did those sims

gleaming valley
#

Also shadow gesture pbly didn't exist when he did those sims

#

I'd still go with scenario A tbh

#

I don't see myself delaying a 20 sec CD by 3(4) sec which is 15-20% of it's own value

#

meaning you'd loose a burst every 6.67 (5) burst

maiden cargo
#

Maybe

regal agate
#

moment let me catch up on the discussion

#

about dfa into sod + shd

#

there are logs every now and then doing it, its sth that koreans mainly do.

maiden cargo
#

SOD you mean ?

regal agate
#

yes fixed

maiden cargo
#

The question is, is it good with T21

regal agate
#

i simmed it yesterday

#

if you consider the cooldown reducrion from 2p, and dont delay it by 1 sec and have finality up and 5/6 cp pre symbols come up its a 0% win

#

in every other case its a loss

maiden cargo
#

Yeah I expected it to be a loss TBH

regal agate
#

its only 1 special case

maiden cargo
#

I don't know anyone good doing dfa>sod

regal agate
#

means you need to fulfill all conditions:

  1. combo points need to be 5+(with shb)/6(without shb)
  2. symbols cooldown need to be exact at the right time
  3. finality evi needs to be up
#

only with those conditions met its equal

#

change the condition e.g. delay dfa cast only slightly and it becomes a loss

rustic tundra
#

Ping that, so useful ! ^^

regal agate
#

to be clear this only applies to hands build, it becomes a loss with e.g. bracers (still no significant one but a loss)

boreal patrol
#

that hands+t21 4pc example you posted and that started this discussion is a very special and very rare case, I ran a couple of simulation last night and today but no try to put your suggestions into the apl resulted in a noticeable win (neutral at best)

gleaming valley
#

@boreal patrol Can we have a discussion on a vocal channel?

boreal patrol
#

pretty busy atm, sorry. if you have sth particular, i think it would be easier if you post it here or via DM, so i can look at it in time

ashen crater
#

@torn dome I got them from the combinator profiles posted on github.

boreal patrol
#

@ashen crater thanks a lot for opening the issue btw, i will have a closer look at it when i have some more time

ashen crater
#

Happy to help.

tropic musk
#

How do we use the new AoE trinket from tomb? Forgefiend's Fabricator

#

just use it on cd?

regal agate
#

as assisination, yes
with sub, we use it like specter/vial

tropic musk
#

ty

#

and how does sub use specter? with symbols?

ashen crater
#

Yep. With symbols and shadow dance.

regal agate
#

@tropic musk read my guide XD

tropic musk
#

lol alright

regal agate
tropic musk
#

i don't play sub so was just wondeirng lol

regal agate
#

sub has quite a lot of damage amplifyer so most on use trinkets are aligned with those

tropic musk
#

yah with the 30sec cd on forgefiends looks like it'd line up nice with subs ss/sd

torn dome
#

@boreal patrol I can do it too after raid if youve not done it yet :p

#

Should be few more hours

boreal patrol
#

already had a look at it, looks good on first sight, will likely see about updating simc and combinator accordingly tomorrow

torn dome
#

Aight ๐Ÿ‘

naive ether
#

!simc

steel zealotBOT
maiden cargo
gaunt gale
#

stat weights change based on the amount of stats you have

#

follow the sim

maiden cargo
#

so use the 940? i had the stat weights of my equipped

gaunt gale
#

though at that amount of DPS difference, I'd consider the 945 for the extra stam, idk

maiden cargo
#

940 is crit vers where as the 945 is vers mast

#

but 940 gives 5% energy

#

so go for the 945?

gaunt gale
#

honestly, its so close you could almost run the sim again and get the opposite result. pick the one you like ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

maiden cargo
#

ill get 945 for flex

#

thank you bro i didnt know what to equip since ystrday

gaunt gale
#

yeah, when things are that close its tricky

maiden cargo
#

yea i even tried 3 sims with the 940 neck and it was all three times on top but like 1k+- dps so its nothing

#

i guess for that energy

gaunt gale
#

thats also why your stat weights weren't giving the right answer

maiden cargo
#

oh lol

gaunt gale
#

yeah, there's no weight for "5% energy"

maiden cargo
#

makes sense

white wren
#

looking at the APL after running a sim as assassin and its showing the opener being Ven>garrote>KB>ruptre, and rupture being used with 4cp, how is taht possibe if a KB crit only gives 2 cps, would it not be 3cp??

ashen crater
#

KB can give 3 combo points. It hits with both hands, if they both crit you get two extra combo points.

surreal plank
#

how would i go about simming all the races in simc?

gaunt gale
#

check pins there

gleaming valley
#

Thx for the sim update

#

though I think there is still room for improvement

#

Last dfa was used at 0:27:114

#

Instead of wasting finality buff into a 3 cp evi

#

and then doing only 3 gcd into danse bc he's unlucky on melee proc after the symbols and thus lack energy

#

I think going to 6 cp using more backstabs then going for symbol + dfa > shd specter > SS > Evi > SS > SS, keeping finality for DFA would be way more efficient

#

Even if you probably have to refresh Nightblade during SoD

#

Build used : mantle gloves, 4p t21, sim ver from dec 9

#

Other exemple B :

#

2 gcds in danse

#

Solution here would be to refresh nightblade earlier around 1:28:927

orchid bramble
#

2 gcd in dance ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

gleaming valley
#

So you'd probably end up refreshing symbol in symbols again

#

but obv

#

2 gcd in danse or refresh NB during symbols

#

I choose second option

orchid bramble
#

Looks like some pooling may be helpfull now that we lost the 4pT20 energy, dfa should not be used on 35 energy I asume.

gleaming valley
#

Another exemple C

#

This whole sequence is really unoptimized

#

Your symbols end up not lining up with dfa's second danse

#

The first danse "extra danse" not inside DFA is used one GCD too late

#

So instead of doing Evi > SS > Evi > SS in the danse, you loose one gcd

#

bc of energy matters

#

Then symbols ends up too early, and again we can see only 3 gcds are used on the second danse

#

To summarize I think the set of rules used of sub rogue APL

#

which prbly are smth like

torn dome
#

It is all solid criticism. But howd you solve this? Dance outside sod to have dfa land in it?

gleaming valley
#

Never refresh NB in symbols

torn dome
#

And allow nb in sod/dance?

regal agate
#

pooling for dfa is a win

gleaming valley
#

Allow NB in sod

regal agate
#

tho only problem is it is in conflict with on use trinkets

#

the lose for on use trinkets was far higher then the minimal win from pooling

gleaming valley
#

Why do you bring trinket usage up

regal agate
#

its about pooling

#

most issues

gleaming valley
#

So 2 gcd in danse is not an issue ?

regal agate
#

thats an issue of pooling

#

you could just pool for dfa

#

and have it solved

full kindle
#

pooling make you use trinkets later, so if you delay the trinkets can loose damage which aparently is a loss compared to the damage you gain from it

gleaming valley
#

I've been trying to quote problems from one sample sequence

#

And proposing solutions to those problem

#

and you talk about trinket usage

#

I don't understand

full kindle
#

Well

#

It's not isolated

#

Pooling have an repercution on trinkets damage

#

It's linked

torn dome
#

Delaying dfa combo delays trinkets

regal agate
#

exactly

gleaming valley
#

I didn't talk about delaying dfa combo

#

in any of those solutions

full kindle
#

you talked about pooling

#

Right ?

regal agate
#

i talked about pooling

#

as that is the solution to most of the issues

torn dome
#

So to get the energy for dfa you have to pool

#

Aka wait

#

Aka delay

gleaming valley
#

Ima edit my post to make it clearer

#

Using e g A B C etc

#

sec

regal agate
#

it is clear

#

you found a clear scenario you want to say "its better to do y in this case exactly on position z"

gleaming valley
#

Ok

#

So which scenario are you talking about

#

A B or C

#

Because they are all so different and cannot just be answered with "pooling"

torn dome
#

C

gleaming valley
#

To me, C ends up being an issue because of improper extra danse usage

regal agate
#

all shd related issues where you dont fit in 4 gcd are pooling retated

gleaming valley
#

I totally disagree with that

#

In scenario A & B you cna solve the issue without delaying

#

I wrote exactly how I would do it

torn dome
#

In a youd delay sod

gleaming valley
#

In scenario C the improper extra danse usage makes it that it's really hard to solve

regal agate
#

afk eating, will catch up when i am back

gleaming valley
#

Because it's really screwed up at the very begining

#

And @torn dome I'd refresh NB during SoD

#

I wrote how it would be done it doesn't necessarly delay sod by more than one or two seconds

#

Never during danse though

torn dome
#

And that one or two seconds multiplied by 15 over the course of a fight

gleaming valley
#

Ok let's try to math this out

#

15% dmg for 10 sec on 300 sec loss

#

Seems like a 0.5% dps loss

torn dome
#

Bosses last 8+ mins. Not 5

gleaming valley
#

sims runs for 5 min

#

So 0.5% dps loss because you don't use symbol on CD

orchid bramble
#

Also energy, also by delayong sod you delay dfas.. this math is just wrong

gleaming valley
#

Compared to totally improper danse usage one time out of two

#

DFA's cooldown is 20 sec static

#

symbol is 17-24 depending on SB & 4p proc

#

But usually it's over 20 sec

#

Plus as mentionned in exemple A you don't delay anything

#

I'd rather use a 15% dmg upgrade in a less efficient way than use a 30% dmg upgrade (plus the fact that SS >>>> BS) in a less efficient way

torn dome
#

In A youd not reach 6cp without delay

gleaming valley
#

Oh yeah right I delay symbols by

#

Approx 3 sec

torn dome
#

But that is trur that the sod gloves buff bug could be implemented in sim

#

But people seem to forget that using gloves buff on ss is 1 cp loss

#

In comparison to using it on bs

gleaming valley
#

Oh and about trinket usage

#

If you end up using symbols every 22.5 sec on avg it's fine since trinket cd is 45 sec

#

But yeah I see what you mean

#

I just have the gut feeling that with this build

#

A more proper danse usage at the cost of a less proper symbol usage would be beneficial

mossy hearth
#

why not just double dance in ur symbols

#

you can do that 30% of ur dances

#

on average

torn dome
#

No energy

gleaming valley
#

Are you talking about exemple C ?

mossy hearth
#

thats why u play shadowfocus

torn dome
#

LOL

gleaming valley
#

rekt

torn dome
#

:angry:

gleaming valley
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

mossy hearth
#

i mean these issues that he is explaining

#

doesnt happen with shadow focus

torn dome
#

Sure

#

But why bandaid the issue with sf rather thsn fix underlying

#

Its what I feel with assa helm

#

Possible you should just dance out of sod to avoid cap?

#

And just pool like old times for it

regal agate
#

double dance was no win

#

i tryed it

mossy hearth
#

its double dancing alrdy, though?

#

pretty sure this double dance meme is a remnant from t20 4p where u had the energy to do so.

torn dome
#

I mean. Dance outside sod to prevent cap

#

Then just do normal combo

regal agate
#

i tryed double dancing with vigor ring

#

and it was a loss

#

so t20 4p + vigor ring

mossy hearth
#

then its because it has to delay a dance somewhere

#

in the apl

regal agate
#

it was a special case more or less

#

like the recent addings, most of them are spcial cases

mossy hearth
#

u have to code to only do the double dance if you literally are almost capped in dance charges

#

not every time, obviously

regal agate
#

ye thats what i did

mossy hearth
#

did u try adjusting the threshold
