ye that does work

young path
#

Is this overall? Does that include trash?

livid olive
#

so it is a me issue

tidal python
#

Just all bosses

stiff spear
#

Why am I seeing someone use Darkmoon Fireworks during a single target mythic boss fight

livid olive
#

lmk try with a different bind

alpine wraith
#

are you using the macro¿

livid olive
#

yes sir

alpine wraith
#

can you show screenshot of it in the macro window

hazy breach
#

The old one also works hacha im just dumb and tried to spam it without realizing you'd need to wait for it to start resetting Cheesin

#

I didnt realize every press would reset it

alpine wraith
#

ahaha yea that is why putting a low number is the key

livid olive
lunar arrow
#

Guys what talents do we play i have no clue whats going on :D?

hazy breach
#

Thought you could spam it and it would use it every 2 seconds if i put 2 for example

livid olive
#

I think my brain isnt working unsure

gilded patio
#

for m+

short radish
#

trick

gilded patio
#

are we using tornado or not?

hazy breach
#

If you want to

gilded patio
#

could you plesae send the talent build?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt really matter

lilac stag
gilded patio
#

Eleem do you mind if i send DMs and ask you some questions?

hazy breach
#

id recommend checking the guides and the pins Surebud

livid olive
#

it's much harder to fuck up with the macro on a keybind that isn't mouse wheel

stiff spear
tidal python
#

grim

stiff spear
#

btw did Shadow blades get a visual update? Feels like it looks different

gilded patio
lean roost
#

Should I macro symbols and dance?

alpine wraith
hazy breach
#

It does not

vestal escarp
alpine wraith
#

and trickster gameplay is better mostly

vernal drum
#

@livid olive whats the issue i dont get it

lean roost
vale lagoon
#

and then also have it macroed into dance

#

like there's never a time when u dance without symbols right

vestal escarp
rapid crystal
#

Hello, even though it might not be optimal, what would a Trickster build with Dark Brew look like now? Hope you can give me some guidance 😄

lilac stag
#

Wowhead

#

Fuu spent a shit ton of time on it

#

Read it

livid olive
#

the macro doesn't work because of how fast the input is being sent (i presume)

lilac stag
vernal drum
#

aah

livid olive
#

Can I do that with like AHK or

fair anchor
#

Aoe and ST opener should be the same now right ? Sim isnt spreading rupture until we're out of dance/sod

livid olive
#

just standard settings

broken grotto
#

So are we running 100% uptime on Symbols now?

lilac stag
#

Idk look at your mouse software

fair anchor
#

And using blades after SD like we do on ST

vale pine
vernal drum
#

bloodmallet isnt updated

still trellis
#

wait do i see it correctly that replicating shadows is the suggested talent in ST? peepostudy

alpine wraith
#

it is mostly the same with the other alternatives

#

all are kinda bad

#

i recommend first dance tho makes your opener gnarly

#

although if there are adds replicating is better

still trellis
#

aight good to know

livid olive
#

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null
/cqs

This one works for me now

onyx skiff
#

I like the feel of the spec currently but I am mega confused about CD management

tacit aspen
fast surge
#

this is for multi target trickster - I thought the point of Nimble Flurry was to spam Backstab for AoE, or is this purely for combo point generation?

patent crystal
#

sub feels way better in keys

hazy breach
#

Combo points are way more important than puny backstab damage, even if it cleaves

vale lagoon
#

just think of it that way

fast surge
#

mmm okay

vale lagoon
#

so if it isn't serving a bonus purpose, like extending symbols/proccing flawless

#

it is literally NEVER worth pressing

fast surge
#

yet there's so much downtime, it's being used a lot FeelsWeird

tacit aspen
#

rather than look at it specifically as a linear list like that, you can think of it as "shuriken storm, and only backstab to mainstain flawless form"

vale lagoon
#

like i'd rather leave my PC and sit on a cactus than press backstab when i dont need flawless or inev procs

fast surge
#

that's a colorful way of thinking about it, thanks!

vale pine
#

means storm gets very quickly to a point of beating it due to the combo point benefits

keen zenith
#

is there a way to track the supercharged combopoints? if you're playing supercharger?

vale pine
#

weakauras added a function for it

#

so you can just use that

keen zenith
#

yeah i'll have a look

#

thanks

fast surge
#

is it even necessary to track it now?

vale lagoon
#

wait but the bright blue CP in our resource bar

#

is not enough to track it?

#

wat

vale pine
#

else, no

keen zenith
#

i'm not playing with the default art

vale pine
#

in terms of gameplay, there is no optimization around it

#

so its just "more information = more better"

vale lagoon
#

dang ig i get lucky for once for being lazy about my setup lmao

keen zenith
#

so they dont charge a specific point like ER did?

hazy breach
#

Correct

keen zenith
#

jus the next 2 finishers

#

ok gotcha

#

or 1, depending on how many points you talent i suppose

vale pine
#

it increases it by 1/2 or 3 combo points

#

depending on what you have talented

#

the talent gvies 2 charges

alpine wraith
#

yea basically reformat brain as if ER never existed

#

now blue cps is next damaging finisher has +3 cp

onyx skiff
#
  • am I right in thinking holding Symbols for SecTec is probably fine since we can stack charges?
  • is there any additional thought before sending Symbols/SecTec without Dance (like... hold SecTec for X seconds if Dance is coming back)?
  • am I right in saying SecTec should be the finisher directly after Symbols?
  • do we want to hold any particular charges of mini CDs like Symbols or Dance ahead of big CDs like Flag/Blades?
  • is there any early Rupture refresh logic? would you refresh during Dance if it dropped or let there be downtime?
vestal escarp
#

they're the first so you always consume them

clever delta
#

so the coup bug is back, do we know if it work for sub or only outlaw

lilac stag
#

can you be more specific with which bug?

barren plume
#

Imagine blizzard didn’t make all these class changes mid season and instead fixed all of the bugs… crazy thought am I right

clever delta
#

you use coup on critter, respec to DS and have coup every finisher at max cp

#

there is so many major bugs that i dont think it will get fixed as quick as last time

lilac stag
#

i had coup lock up on me (perma) but wasnt triggering it

clever delta
#

nah this is different

lilac stag
#

and it dropped going into DS

alpine wraith
#

same as always please dont buggerino

vale pine
tidal python
pliant topaz
# onyx skiff - am I right in thinking holding Symbols for SecTec is probably fine since we ca...

In ordered I guess,
No - u can’t sod every secteh
That’s now how the logic works, u get a fixed amount of symbols/ dances every 1.5 minutes since sod is fixed cd.
-no would be nice if it was 1 of the 2 supercharger versions but delaying dances to get supercharger on sectech costs u a dance later in the fight so not worth. (Often it will be tho)

  • yes u rupture before dance again if it current rupture will fall in dance
sinful sluice
#

what will be the main rotation after the patch? the opener is noted, we just tie dance+symbols everytime and other stuff stays the same?

#

also do we not tie transmitter to flag anymore?

alpine wraith
#

things change a bit because of how our krangled cdr works

#

eleem did a little writeup in the thread

#

the #tc-info one

#

and because we run out of SoD too

hazy breach
sinful sluice
#

sorry i only see tc-research ... how can i view that channel?

hazy breach
#

Its a thread here

sinful sluice
#

thanks

clever delta
#

but i like to play trisckter on trash and ds on bosses

#

hopefully i dont trigger it

lilac stag
#

just afk on trash

fast surge
#

do we hold or send SecTec if Cold Blood still has 30+ seconds cooldown?

#

namely in the opener

#

after using it the first time

lilac stag
#

send

alpine wraith
#

yea first 1:30 mins you send sec tech every time it is up you just skip dance at 1 min

merry agate
#

Okay i take it all back just tried some bosses and sub is bussin OMEGAKEKW

alpine wraith
#

so it would be after cds at around 3x secs then 4x then dry SoD at 60 then cds back again in 1:30

terse ruin
#

Yooo guys, what are your thoughts about the new sub spec ? Fun ? Stronger ?

hazy breach
#

Mostly the same as before

#

Stronger numerically

keen dome
#

Supercharger feels really nice.

#

What a fantastic change to ER

jade horizon
#

is it ok to macro symbols with ST? or is that dumb?

terse ruin
#

Rotation changes a lot ?

alpine wraith
#

not a lot

#

cds move a bit

#

but nothing crazy

terse ruin
keen dome
#

Echoing Reprimand.

terse ruin
#

Thx

keen dome
#

It is now Supercharger

terse ruin
#

Passive so

#

And we play Shuriken storm again ? Or not

steel spindle
#

I was juts about to ask that whoa :0

dawn plume
#

yo guys should i stick to assa or play sub for pve i really like the playstyle of sub more but it seemed so weak before 11.0.5

#

(in pve)

uneven scarab
#

Its good

#

play what you like

dawn plume
#

i like what works

jaunty heath
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
steel spindle
#

thats weird cuz sub sims higher now than my ass builds

dawn plume
#

thats crazy

#

im gonna sim mine too now

steel spindle
#

only with shuriken tornado for mythic+ build though. it's like a 200k diff in the sim.

jaunty heath
#

how come we go trickster in single target when ds sims higher?

dawn plume
#

we got ts in st??

#

thats crazy

#

would also like to know why

#

ah the pinned comment explains it

uneven scarab
#

ds only sims about 2% higher due to a mark bug iirc

hazy breach
#

But then it also has flensing knives

uneven scarab
#

Yeah good point

hazy breach
#

So deathstalker should be better on pure ST

#

But with any cleave just go trickster

terse ruin
#

Black powder when more than how much target guys ?

alpine wraith
#

deathstalker stinky i can get parried

#

L spec

#

fuck ky veza

#

and sikran

hazy breach
#

and court

#

and queen

#

and ovinax

alpine wraith
#

only played DS on those too

hazy breach
#

Pretty much every boss turns around a lot

alpine wraith
#

man what a god bless

#

on the others

#

wonder if we accept donations from other specs not getting parried

#

my paypal is open i will tell them

keen dome
#

Haha

sacred yarrow
#

so we throw symbols with flag and if flag on CD then with ST? just those conditions?

round latch
#

not the first time to be written as a question but is deathstalker's mark bugged for sub as well?

#

or its funcitonal

#

sry still at work,havent logged

alpine wraith
#

havent done m+ but if it bugs like assa we dont notice that much as it gets applied next strike

round latch
#

yup figured that much,but it drops as well

alpine wraith
#

idk some madman somewhere has done m+ as deathstalker maybe

#

can tell you

iron spear
#

I have to say, the spec now feels really good to play. That "rework" is a 100% in my book.

hazy breach
#

"rework"

round latch
#

dont like trickster but im willing to choke my pride and play it

#

coz rogue above all else

jade urchin
#

now that some time has passed, do we actually play the same talents for all bosses besides maybe deathstalker for pure single target?

steel horizon
#

lol @ whispyrs name

keen dome
#

Damn, that's a mood.

uneven scarab
#

Im sure hes had enough of this disc the past like 5 days

steel horizon
#

yea im sure most of the theorycrafter guys have lol

#

obvs must be annoying when people come in here and ask questions that can be answered in the pins or the wowhead guide

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I feel for 'em. They do great work

hazy breach
#

This channel is alright, because sub isnt very fotm

steel horizon
#

lol true

lilac stag
#

It’s bad here when it is

#

Really bad

keen dome
#

I'm both excited and terrified for the day we become fotm

#

I like how chill it is.

sacred yarrow
hollow cobalt
keen dome
#

Oh, no doubt. This discord in general is incredibly well run and really comfy to be in.

#

Also why is the game threatening me:

sacred yarrow
#

did you guys manage to get the castsequence macro working?

alpine wraith
#

yes

sacred yarrow
#

whats it looking now? 👀

lilac stag
#
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null 
/cqs
sacred yarrow
#

whats the cqs

alpine wraith
#

i use pick pocket just for the giggles

lilac stag
#

clear spell que

sacred yarrow
#

oh, nice! thank you very much

young path
pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

It wasnt really fotm

#

It was just really strong

lilac stag
#

remember when havoc was shit and sub was just spamming shadowstrike finisher? it was toxic af here

hollow cobalt
#

I love the fact that we're so few to play that spec

alpine wraith
#

it can have its drawbacks

pliant topaz
uneven scarab
alpine wraith
#

assa sill more popular

uneven scarab
#

ghost town spec

keen dome
#

It does create a good level of comradery. you see a Sub rogue in the wild and you just know. A tip'a the hat. A polite wave.

alpine wraith
#

we have not been top spec in number of representation since like legion

#

but that does nto mean it has not been strong

lilac stag
#

@pliant topaz fix mandate in APL so eleem doesnt have to

alpine wraith
#

of course

half galleon
#

i think sub isnt that dead

pliant topaz
#

Should be fixed idk

lilac stag
pliant topaz
#

Works for me with the custom apl

lilac stag
#

sure it is

pliant topaz
#

Oh

fossil blade
#

So, have there been any changes sinces yestarday? Im a little lost

fathom meadow
#

anyone tell me why i just hit an evis for 14.2mil?

alpine wraith
#

yes a new patch is on

#

welcome to 11.0.5

alpine wraith
#

relog

lilac stag
spare oar
#

Whats the Coup Bug?

alpine wraith
#

wont tell how to replicate

fathom meadow
#

more bugs.... ionsadhours

alpine wraith
#

but basically all your evis are like coup de grace

lilac stag
#

existing

#

fix

#

returning

uneven scarab
#

Wtf

barren plume
#

I mean, blame blizzard they should fix bugs before punishing people for playing the game as is

lilac stag
#

like locus

spare oar
#

So, when you have the bug you will notice?

#

Not trying to get banned 😄

alpine wraith
#

they dont punish people for these kind of bugs tbh

uneven scarab
#

Oh youll notice

barren plume
#

Abuse the shit out of bugs and just fucking pump so we get nerfed

alpine wraith
#

we just dont like to tell people how to bug abuse

lilac stag
spare oar
#

Ye sure

alpine wraith
#

i mean the spellslinger one was ehehe

#

but they abused 2 or 3 other bugs we all know too

barren plume
#

How many rwf guilds had bots playin for them

fair stump
#

Did you get the chance to record the video of the rotation, Hacha?

hazy breach
#

Its gonna get fixed very shortly, just like last time

barren plume
#

Yea fixed in no time. Just to bring back another bug

hazy breach
#

Prevents you from accidently pressing symbols more than once

soft summit
#

Great, now how do we add this to a shadow dance macro?

hazy breach
#

Well you cant dance while dance is up

lilac stag
#

shadowdance doesnt get a macro

hazy breach
#

So its in by default

lilac stag
#

you bind sod and dance seperately

topaz raptor
#

Sub is looking very alive on the famous wcl statistics, is that the bug or just a small data set?

near rivet
#

im absolutely disgusted by this patch

#

and the state of bugs

topaz raptor
#

Or is sub alive

alpine wraith
#

sub players are just blasters

#

if you play sub you are likely to perform well

#

basically

#

we cull the grey loggers

#

our grey loggers are big bois

soft summit
barren plume
keen dome
#

I def felt like, in Heroic content, I did WAY more damage than I did last week. The changes felt pretty mid until I played them and I honestly like the flow now.

alpine wraith
keen dome
#

I'm sure most of that is down to Supercharger

alpine wraith
#

basically sub is 20x less popular than assa

barren plume
#

Nice

muted agate
#

do we still snd on opener

#

or just get it from evis

sacred yarrow
#

evis

wispy pebble
#

So sub logs are only big because of evis bug then?

uneven scarab
#

well no not everyones abusing

wispy pebble
dawn plume
#

YO

#

THE COUP BUG IS CRAZY

#

WTFFFFF

#

i just had it

hearty fog
#

wait, I had a weird moment this morning while doing the world bosses where the 4 stacks of unseen blade were not disappearing, is that what you guys are talking about?

pliant topaz
steel spindle
#

can we macro flag and sblades together now

hearty fog
#

(i have absolutely no clue how i triggered that shit)

pliant topaz
#

bugs push the max, maybe 99th percentiles

#

but thats about it

#

outliers dont affect medians

uneven scarab
left ledge
#

What evis bug are people mentioning

lilac stag
#

11.0.5 the no macros except sectech spec

uneven scarab
#

had the same happen to me

Oh okay, nvm then

#

Yes

eleem mentioned complications

@vale pine Hi Fuu! I have maybe a stupid question. I was simming gems in my gear, Culminating Blasphemite with all kinds of gems (mastery+vers, vers+mastery, crit+vers, haste+vers etc). And I found out that raidbot suggests me to put all the gems on haste + vers. I'm confused, I've expected mastery+vers or vers+mastery to be a top recommendation, just as you wrote in the guide. Why could it be this way?

alpine wraith
#

depends on your gear

flint umbra
#

anything i can drop for improved shadow techniques

pliant topaz
flint umbra
#

really would like the more forgiving energy

pliant topaz
#

improved shadow techniques that is

alpine wraith
pliant topaz
#

u litearlly wont even notice it exists

flint umbra
#

im noticing rn that my energy is kinda iffy

alpine wraith
#

it will always be

uneven scarab
#

outside of cd’s?

pliant topaz
#

thats the design of thje spec

#

improved shadow techniques doesnt solve that

flint umbra
uneven scarab
#

yeah thats how it plays

pliant topaz
#

!design

left ledge
#

Wait the coup bug when u swap to DS is still there

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

flint umbra
#

no shot i can get vigor?

left ledge
#

Holy fuck

#

LOL

alpine wraith
#

it came back

left ledge
#

HAHAHAHA

alpine wraith
#

got fixed fast before

left ledge
#

That’s funny ngl

pliant topaz
left ledge
#

Still never playing DS

dawn plume
#

escalating blade gets stuck so randomly though i have no clue when and how to control it so i dont think its abuseable

pliant topaz
#

u know what else is back? coup getting stuck and never casting!

#

that ones cool too

surreal siren
left ledge
#

I love that one

alpine wraith
#

yea have to do the fast alt f4 if in a raid fight

#

never cooler

wispy pebble
#

is there is there any amount of time id delay SoD to match with Sectec or SD or both

alpine wraith
#

but does nto hapen a lot in raid at least

#

how long did you guys wait until the server open when patching for 11.0.5 on NA?

#

estimated patch hour is 7

#

cant wait that long to play new sub 💀

flint umbra
#

kinda confused why the st DS build doesnt take dark brew

#

isnt dark brew insane for it

pliant topaz
#

not reallt

dawn plume

#

eu was up after 4 hours i think

#

do we ever use black powder

uneven scarab

#

its interessting tho if your sim suggestes it

fair stump
#

fuu, someone yesterday said that we should hold buttons when we're at about 30 seconds from having cds

#

In order to have 2 stacks of symbols

#

Is this the play?

uneven scarab
#

Sounds about right yeah

#

if ur 1:30 is coming up

fair stump
#

do we want 2 stacks of dances as well?

uneven scarab
#

2 dance 2 sods yes

vale pine
#

you shouldn's send your symbols charge

uneven scarab
#

U dont actually need 2 dances tho

vale pine
#

if it isn't up with flagellation again

fair stump
#

So we usually send 2 symbols in between 1.30 cds

#

Right?

surreal siren
lilac stag
#

45 sec dance and sod. 1 min sod

#

get shit ready for 1:30

ornate current
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
surreal siren
trim ridge
#

honestly after trying the spec in raid its weird but not unfun

vale pine
#

it is fresh, something to get used to

surreal siren
vale pine
#

its possible that a bit more haste gives you an extra cast in your gear

#

which can lead to a bit more gain from the stat

#

most likely explanation

surreal siren
fair stump
#

its harsh having to move from assa to sub, the loss of silence really hurts

hazy breach
#

nvm i cant read

pliant topaz
#

What

#

Wait what

#

wut?

#

what happened

pliant topaz
#

why do you have to move from sin to sub

How do I use shuriken tornado

where i do I use it i guess to say

uneven scarab
#

shoulda kept sub aoe kidney

#

Was totally fair and balanced

#

smh

fair stump
#

sub had aoe kidney?

slow isle
uneven scarab
#

didnt go over too well OMEGAKEKW

fair stump
#

What the fuck

#

was using 5cp on it worth it?

#

Back then kidney was 6 seconds, right? damn

uneven scarab
#

Probably i don’t remember exactly how it worked

vale pine
#

5 or 6 cp finishing is not much diffrence

uneven scarab
#

I think it had less duration

#

Than normal kidney did

vale pine
#

so don't overthink it

uneven scarab
#

But it was still insane

fair stump
hearty fog
#

the changes around Symbols of Death makes the spec very... weird to play

left ledge
#

It’s just dust

#

But crappier

#

I can’t really tell that much of a difference outside of blades being delayed ngl

strange chasm
#

Sin just does too much more damage now than sub I feel

vale pine
lilac stag
#

then play assa

hearty fog
#

haven't gotten used to it yet but the opener feels somewhat slower/less "explosive" than it was

toxic sleet
#

is sub harder than assas / outlaw to learn i am new. on it never touched it

nimble burrow
#

May i ask a stupid question? Like Flawless Form increase Finisher dmg but we don't cast BP in that buff, i can understand that maybe its number diff but the storm doesn't effect from flawless form, why we cast storm when form is up?

pliant topaz
keen dome
#

Hell yeah

lilac stag
#

new stuff feels weird. shocker

uneven scarab
#

It felt good

rigid iris
#

Mmm few questions about the updated rotation (from Wowhead) for Trickster multitarget prio:

  1. Are we meant to use SecTec over Evi during Dance even when Coup is up?
  2. What also puzzled me was the combo builder change outside dance part: without Flawless up, we really only BS despite the target count? Referring to the "Use Shuriken Storm on 3 or more targets with Flawless Form up." so if it's not up, we don't SS at all?
uneven scarab
#

Ghost town spec tho

#

29 parses at my ilvl lol

#

Hell yeah, blasting though

#

only 170 sub rogues on mythic

compared to 3k assa

Nope i just think its hilarious

alpine wraith
#

the exploiters will even make us look good

#

and even then they are not topping

#

smh

keen dome
#

oh no they're gonna get us an aura nerf (not really)

half galleon
#

my friend sent me logs picture i told him cant even beat a shaman with bugs

lilac stag

#

It's a known bug they fixed before so I think it's pretty likely they'll fix it

pliant topaz
fair stump
#

what exploit?

lilac stag
#

nothing

fair stump
#

were people dealing more dmg as sub?

#

cuz sub is kewl

they were pros

steel horizon
hearty fog
#

(maybe i'm missing something since I just traded blows with an inactive dummy without any raid buffs/skyfury)

lilac stag
#

the pacing is nice, you have some control over when you're launching cds

hearty fog
#

gotcha

proper fulcrum
lilac stag
#

if you have to hold at dance before flag is up, it's not terrible which I think was a concern

lilac stag
#

DS feels like absolute shit

but tricky doing ok

uneven scarab
#

Yeah i cant stand playing ds at all

#

Trickster feels smooth

keen dome
#

The coup CDR is super nice

hearty fog
#

i'm guessing i'm just gonna go full trickster tonight lmao

vestal escarp
#

I like the guaranteed crits-increased crit chance of DS

#

just that tho

#

it's cool that you can leave crit behind when you gear because your talents take care of that

pliant topaz
# hearty fog out of curiosity, what's making it this fun to you? I haven't tried it in raid -...

basically what scath said. theres a lot more skill expression in proper use of sod with regards to actual dance timing/ naked sods/ naked sectechs/ proper use of super chargers etc.
but other than the skill expression theres also the options you now have. previously you were tied down by flag/bladaes where if u delayed sod by a few seconds u either would lose an entire dance cast, or u would have to delay blades/flag by like 15-20 seconds which could cost u a cast so you have very little freedom. but now you have alot more freedom in moving the dances around between major cds.
in aoe, you also have a lot more options, it actually solves a lot of aoe problems for sub, super charger brings in impressive burst with sectech, dungeons feel like a blast having multiple sod charges between packs and farming cd while runnint to next pack

#

overall i dont think dust was healthy for the spec. its too hard to balance a spec around that, its much more healthier to give it the freedom to move around dances instead of major cds

fair stump
#

also 6% more dmg for symbols :D

hearty fog
#

alright, thanks!

#

feels like i'm gonna shit the bed tonight but let's fucking go

trickster super fun. ds not so much

pliant topaz
#

last night on ovinax i vanished after flag/blades out of habit

vale pine
#

it has less extremes

pliant topaz
#

and was like wait. i can use this for root/shield/agro

#

we are so baack

vale pine
#

ye

sinful sluice
#

whats up with trickster build?

hearty fog
#

Coup de Grace has proper CDR now so it's looking smoother than it was prepatch I believe

pliant topaz
#

^ the extra cdr

#
  • the energy
#
  • the freedom to play around when you have good "gos"
#
  • the big burst
#
  • the big sectech damage
#

Last night im pretty sure i had a 15M sectech

#

with no amps

sinful sluice
#

ahhhhhhh cant wait!!

#

i have midterms tmrw and cant study shit cuz im so hyped for the patch

pliant topaz
#

kekw i had 2 last week i have one next week. we game for now

uneven scarab
#

Dint think any of my wa’s were updated for supercharge so i was just kinda blind blasting with it

#

Definitely felt it though

clear scroll
#

how are the changes to sub, is everything on fire?

vale pine
#

the 3 symbols dynamic feels ncie

#

but thats for the enthusiasts of us ^^

clear scroll
#

haha

vale pine
#

it migth be confusing for many

half galleon
#

i cant stop vanishing after cds

lucid lily
sinful sluice
#

whats the main purpose of 3 symbols?

#

so we use 2 on the burst and save other for dance+symbols?

clone hit for like 7M

#

or like 6.8 ish

uneven scarab
#

god damn

#

i think i had a 5.5 one

#

Did I read that right? Is trickster close enough in ST that we can just play it everywhere? I really hate deathstalker

uneven scarab
#

Might’ve been my highest

fair stump
trim ridge
uneven scarab
#

based option is playing trickster everywhere cuz ds smells bad

hearty fog
#

sure hope they plan to rework that shit at some point

swift tinsel
#

wait does the new prio actually say that sectec during naked symbols is on the table bc that feels dirty

uneven scarab
#

we do have a naked symbols cast so yeah

hearty fog
#

instead of working on yet another paladin/mage rework for some reason dead

fair stump
sinful sluice
#

wait when do we naked symbols

#

so 2 dance on burst

uneven scarab
#

1 min mark you naked symbols

fair stump
#

I seem to have enough cdr on dance to always be dancing with symbols

sinful sluice
#

2 dance + 2 symbols on burst and just use leftover alone?

uneven scarab
fair stump
#

Oh, true

uneven scarab
#

Atleast in st

fair stump
#

why would aoe change that?

uneven scarab
#

Maybe you have enough cdr in aoe im not sure

#

more cdr in aoe

fair stump
#

due to shuriken?

hearty fog
#

think it goes somewhere along the line of 2 dances on the opener, 1 dance + symbols on like 40 or 45 seconds in, naked symbols on 1:00, then you pool until your cds

#

and you go again

hearty fog
#

(at least that's what i got on a target dummy LMAO)

#

I'm guessing Skyfury will inevitably speed up the CDR process with all those additionnal combo points

#

But that's why we got 3 symbols of death i guess

uneven scarab
#

Skyfury is so good

#

For us

#

Like unbelievably good

hearty fog
#

i swear to god i'm not raiding without a shaman anymore

#

lmao

uneven scarab
#

Im so glad we have like 4 people in my guild obsessed with shaman

#

Probably would be playing ass if we didnt ngl

reef elm
#

i noticed in Dungeon Slice it rarely uses black powder- is that just a target count thing from Dungeon Slice or do we really be using Storm->Eviscerate alot?

warm depot
#

my buddy is a shaman doomer and keeps complaining that theyre gonna get stricken into the ground after this patch LMFAO

topaz raptor
#

They should be

#

Ele is complete out of control

hearty fog
uneven scarab
#

They’ll be fineee

hearty fog
#

That's not fucking normal lmao

warm depot
#

im of the opinion that they only need light nerfs but spymasters needs to be gutted

#

spymasters enables too much imo

uneven scarab
#

Whats crazy is

#

They nerfed fire mage OMEGAKEKW

#

Buffed arcane

#

What are we doing

sinful sluice
#

reason why i dont like BP for mythic is it is so damn trash on ST/or 2-3 target situations

#

it does dmg below tanks 😢

tidal python
sinful sluice
#

is mythic+ any better on new patch

warm depot
#

bp in trickster >7-8tar right

#

or did that change

Keep track of Flawless Form

If you don't have it on you, you just Shadowstrike/Backstab to trigger it

trim ridge
#

we are specced into shuriken tornado on the trickster m+ build, do we ignore the button?

lilac stag
#

you can likely do etiher

trim ridge
#

60 energy on 1 button when we have 100 feels bad

hearty fog
#

Yeah but the finishers are more or less « free » through relentless strikes

#

So it works out

uneven scarab
#

Tornado is nice for cdr

sinful sluice
#

when using tornado, do we just use finisher 4 times even with low combo points

#

or wait till it gets 7

uneven scarab
#

think you wanna finish everytime

daring raptor

anyone know the talents for raid and m+?

what the fuck am i watching at

An exploit Surebud

sinful sluice

oh is it bugged

yep

fallow nimbus

what's bugged?

the shiv thing?

sinful sluice
#

i think evis does more dmg rn or smt?

alpine wraith

the old bug

#

on making all evis coup

fallow nimbus

oh

and how do u trigger that? just curious, i dont wanna get banned anyway

fallow nimbus
#

is it in logs just coup then?

pliant topaz
#

that one blizz did say "do not do"

sinful sluice
#

has it been live for a long time?

uneven scarab
#

Outlaw’s about to go to jail fr

sinful sluice
#

or just came back this patch

uneven scarab
#

Big abusers

pliant topaz
#

and on .5 they merged ptr with live

#

so all the fixed bugs are back

uneven scarab
pliant topaz
#

thats also why non of the buff/nerfs/hotfixes they did were working

#

so they had to bring all those back too

sinful sluice
#

they are gonna ban these ppl right...?

#

honestly didnt see anyone getting banned by using expolits i think

pliant topaz
sinful sluice
#

only for autos/gold trading

pliant topaz
#

for the coup abuse bug they did specifically warn RWF people not to use it

void hound
#

so do we cast symbols pre pull or what

daring raptor
hollow patio
#

Hello guys!, testing some of the info that eleem typed in the thread about the opener, somebody having issues getting to the [ ] (SD & SOD) at 45 seg?

sinful sluice
#

i think its triggered by killing smt with coup and chaning talents or smt

hollow patio
#

its like i cannot get enough cdr on dummy to be able to SD at that time

sinful sluice

just not worth using dont wanna get banned

uneven scarab

Ita a bug

Dont use it

If you abuse it, you're gonna get banned for exploiting

uneven scarab

rwf was warned to not use it even

daring raptor

kk still good to know what not to do

uneven scarab

Its pretty specific so

hearty fog
#

well if you see yourself get up to 2M DPS on ST

Why Premedition over Planned execution?

hearty fog

you'll know

uneven scarab
#

just wouldn’t worry about it

hearty fog
#

And you just alt f4 without looking back

uneven scarab
#

Yeah if ur evis is like 40% or more of ur damage

#

something’s fishy

hollow patio
daring raptor
hearty fog
#

on opener

#

not on a 5 minutes long fight

#

A sustained DPS of 2M is like 500k over what the sims are predicting so

daring raptor
#

ahr okay

vivid cape
#

anyone know why Premedition over Planned execution? in the pinned talent build? 🙂

alpine wraith
#

premed is quite important now

vivid cape
#

Does it work with shadow dance?

hearty fog
#

yes

#

it does

vivid cape
#

Oh i see why then 🙂

wispy pebble
#

why is replicating shadows in the single target talent build?

#

just for the 20%?

pliant topaz
#

yea

wispy pebble
#

crazy that this outperforms the other stuff lmao

pliant topaz
#

yea

hearty fog
vale pine
#

it is more

#

that most talents in the row

#

arn't that good

#

means there is a lot more choice

#

also means the first dance is decent

wispy pebble
#

so we literally use the same tree for everything?

vale pine
#

well

#

you can switch

wispy pebble
#

nono i like it haha

vale pine
#

to use improved storm

#

instead of shadow focus

lilac stag
#

Imp storm and TFD in keys maybe possibly

vale pine
#

i like tfd more than tornado

#

tbh

uneven scarab
#

I can see TFD being good in mists/gb without actually playing it

#

would be fun to try

trim ridge
#

what does tfd stand for

small furnace
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
uneven scarab
#

The first dance

vale pine
#

tfd is def. good

#

i just don't like it as a standard suggestion atm

without testing it more

uneven scarab

yeah i completely understand that

#

we wait for cook

6 sec is just a very weird requirement

tho be warned, not completed the update now

#

fun fact

daring raptor
#

What do we do now with trinket?

vale pine
#

same as before

daring raptor
#

do we wait to pop flag until the trinket is up ?

#

or just pop flag on cd?

vale pine
#

oh

uneven scarab
#

you can probably use it even before flag

vale pine
#

you do the following

#

you are lazy like me

daring raptor
#

brug i ment the second time around

#

opener i have done

vale pine
#

so you macro transmitter to flag

daring raptor
#

when you are to your second flag window

#

do we wait to use flag until trinket is uop

#

up*

#

or just use flag without trinket second time ?

vale pine
#

and for the 2nd trinket, you either get contract

#

or use queens if you have it

daring raptor
#

that is not what i am asking

vale pine
#

both is equal in output

#

flag has 1 min 30 cd

daring raptor
#

i use my transmitter on pull

vale pine
#

transmitter has 1 min 30 cd

daring raptor
#

oh

#

i thought it was a 2min cd

#

thanks then

#

haha

vale pine
#

happy to help

#

also

#
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null 
/cqs```
#

^ somone tested this macro seems to work

#

highly recommend to use instead of regular symbols

daring raptor
#

what does it do +

vale pine
#

i did a worldboss just some minutes ago

half galleon
vale pine
#

and it lagged a bit so i send 3 symbols charges at the same time

small furnace
vale pine
#

i did good damage for like 20 secs

daring raptor
#

why not juse macro symbols into your dance ?

vale pine
#

can do too

#

just dont spam the button

#

symbols has no security mechanism

#

and it only pandemic refreshes

#

so if you spam a key with symbols

#

it could be that you send multiple charges

#

kinda annoying

silk glacier
#

so does this ensure that if the buff is active above 2 secs it wont cast?

uneven scarab
#

basically you cant spam the button and for 2 seconds after its cast it wont let you cast again

vale pine
#

it just means you can't use it again for 2 secs

silk glacier
#

OHHHH

daring raptor
#

just macro it into shadow dance then ?

small furnace
#

@vale pine have you been playing sub in dungeons/if so how is performing (in a practical sense, not necessarily sim "perfection") compared to sin? I'm kinda bored with sin and would make the switch if it's comparable

#

Fair

vale pine
#

for what its worth, sub does good burst, better than sin

light imp
vale pine
#

aoe is still not the best

#

but the flexibility with 3x symbols feels nice

#

trickster plays actually decently well

This was a +11 AK with some wonky pulls (im 618 ilvl, the shamans were 620+)

I respect the name

done just this morning

small furnace

Nice

light imp
#

lol

#

not sure why the +10 didnt have my nickname on details

#

pally was also 620+ ilvl

small furnace
#

They are busted and easy to play, must be nice

#

Sims for raid don't seem that far in comparison to sin which seems nice, don't even care about outlaw though. Bummy spec lol

light imp
#

wish DS would get some sorta buff or big fix. honestly was enjoying that over smooth brain trickster

small furnace
#

Target switching for DS is a pain sometimes though

light imp
#

i consider them both extensions of priority target, but yes, it is

#

prio target cleave*

uneven scarab
#

darkest night should be on sectech!!

#

Change my mind

half galleon
#

just to see if im in the right track we do still have that 1 naked symbols right or do we just have enough cdr to send all of them with dances

light imp
#

i only symbols when i have sec tec up (in m+ havn't raided yet) and find that i need to naked SD sometimes due to CDR on sectec burning through SoD

even with the change

It still kinda feels like how trickster dust did
