one of the tcs would have to math it

#

we're kinda in the figuring it out as we go with keys

keen dome
#

I really like that we run Versa 'cos of the survivability it brings

lilac stag

#

ig forcing shadow is not worth it

lilac stag
#

it's a super small min max

#

personally I rather have more speed

#

since I'm assuming the PVP gems dont work in raid

nimble burrow
#

does the old raid has nothing good for us? i feel kinda broing and want to do it

#

just made a craft head

lilac stag
#

nothing crazy good no

quite good stat rn

eleem what are you at sim wise now?

hazy breach
#

nimble burrow

#

putting everything back to ver/mas now with focusing

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

hazy breach
#

I also have myth track in almost every slot because im an overgeared rat 🐀 💀

keen dome
#

the myth BoE belt being crit/versa is pretty nice.

lilac stag
#

i need the damn 639 daggie

keen dome
#

s a m e.

lilac stag
#

the vers/mas belt better ;p

keen dome
#

Truth but! I got this for 37.5k cos someone mis-listed it >:D

lilac stag
#

hah

keen dome
#

First two bosses are big value for Sub, though, which is nice.

lilac stag
#

listed as a normal

#

i think sikran neck is still an upgrade for me from heroic, same with contract

#

have a normal belt lol

keen dome
#

Good helm, belt, legs, dagger, cloak

#

I really need to get back to trying to pug the first two weekly 'cos the dagger is big

mint swift
lilac stag
#

huh?

mint swift
#

Idk I just remember one night it simmed higher then a few days later was lower

#

Either that or I’ve lost my mind

lilac stag
#

it's been pretty consistent.

#

mad queen been up and down with apl

mint swift
#

Ah that might be why

#

Cause that’s the item that was simming higher one day and lower on the other

#

My bad

lilac stag
#

all good, i was just confused. nothing new

mint swift
#

Yeye

#

Also how’s subs rota like without shadowdust

#

I ditched it and play Assa atm because I started to dislike playing sub

lilac stag
#

lovely

mint swift
#

Nice nice

#

Idk how good my stats are for it

lilac stag
#

engaging and rewarding would be the simplest of terms

mint swift
#

Got lots of mast and crit and barely any in the other 2

lilac stag
#

crit kinda took a dump

mint swift
#

Oh

#

So it’s just vers and mast

lilac stag
#

sim, but ye

mint swift
#

Ah ok

#

Idk if I’ll play it again as I’m enjoying Assa

lilac stag
#

def play what you enjoy. for most of the die hards in here this is a god send

mint swift
#

I mean I played mainly Assa from SL-DF, swapped to sub season 1 of DF, back to Assa in TWW

haughty mural
#

if you enjoy assa more i'd stick with it

#

i just came back in here 11.0.5 because i enjoy sub

#

A LOT MORE

lilac stag
#

the current version of assa is nice, I would be fine playing it, i just rather be on sub

mint swift
#

Fair
Tbh I’m enjoying Assa and boom the most

Arms war alt but they are under geared and I’m still confused by the prio list a bit

haughty mural
#

i'd wait with arms till next reset 😄

lilac stag
#

critcake saving arms 1 video at a time

mint swift
#

That execute buff is juicy

lilac stag
#

i haven't kept up with arms, but it looked like it was catching strays with talent tuning to fury

mint swift
#

It did

#

Got nerfed last patch

hazy breach
#

Well now it gets +10%

Yuh

#

hi, i wanted to ask, what are the reasons to play sub in m+?

lilac stag
#

big burst. big st dmg, very strong cleave

#

cooldown control

#

its fun

pliant ledge
#

how much worse do u believe it is compared to assa

lilac stag
#

you're not going to win overall dmg, but killing the stuff that is critical sub VERY good at again

hazy breach
#

I like pressing one button and having it do 14M on ST

hazy breach
#

But so is everybody except like 1 or 2 specs

#

Assa is just insane in keys

pliant ledge
#

I would like to see DS buffed for sub tbh

#

I wanna see how it feels

lilac stag
#

you think you do, you dont

pliant ledge
#

but... it has a cooler looking icon...

hazy breach
#

Wdym

pliant ledge
#

I just like the idea more of a Deathstalker sub more thats all, I have no clue how it plays

lilac stag
#

like crap right now lol

hazy breach
#

In keys its miserable compared to trickster

#

on ST its fine

lilac stag
#

assa kinda weak on boss dmg, but it's aoe carries it hard overall. really just comes down to what you want to play and if you feel like youre forced into meta slaving

pliant ledge
lilac stag
#

how bad are your friends?

tribal blade
#

i can't make it work on pure ST

grave parcel
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

as soon as you introduce a few more targets it becomes a lot more managable

lilac stag
#

i'm also not a fan of managing DM target

hazy breach
#

If you want boss dmg on sin you need to pull mobs ontop of the boss

lilac stag
#

its fine, just not what I like

hazy breach
#

Theyre the funnel spec after all

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

like the 1st boss in siege is actually really nice as sin

#

spread a couple of ruptures and put all your damage into the boss

#

i think on my last 13 siege attempt i ended that boss at something like 1.9 mil dps

lilac stag
#

is anything really nice about siege? wowreally

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

my feet

#

NO BANANA

#

yet another way for blizz to make melee life a living hell

lilac stag
#

that cooridoor area is so awful

tribal blade
#

the visuals in the dungeon are so bad

#

undefined edges

#

all the colors blend into each other

#

everything is brown

#

from an aesthetic stand point 1/10

keen dome
#

I was doing it with a buddy, and he goes "..Oh no. I've banana'd us" as he accidently pulls two giants and 3 mini-packs lmao

merry agate
#

TfD in keys procs not that often Sadge but 12 second dances chefkiss

lilac stag
#

proccing it involves some patience

coarse nexus
#

its giga in nw i feel

lilac stag
#

18 procs in 22 minuts for dawn

merry agate
#

mists a lot of natural triggers 😛 labyrinth and all

lilac stag
#

you can use vanish if tank kinda chains

haughty mural
#

details doesnt track tfd as a buff right?

tribal blade
#

but as for how many times you got it, i don't think so

#

it'd prob just give you the % it was active

gritty knot
#

grim +10 with shitty pulls. Guys i am actually so happy i can play sub again and it feels really good tbh with 1:30 min cds now. So nice. Hopefully they will fix a few more bugs too and then we back at it fully! ❤️

alpine wraith
#

you can check procs on logs

#

but no idea how to do it on details easily

haughty mural
hazy breach
#

Theres two different first dance buffs

alpine wraith
#

yea the charging and the one that you get then you proc

hazy breach
#

But details aint looking at out of combat stuff

#

So you probably cant see it there

#

Need a log

haughty mural
#

thought so

#

ty

tribal blade
#

it would be nice to have a WA that has a countdown as soon as you leave combat

#

and announces when you gain TFD

hazy breach
#

I feel like thats overthinking it and just more likely to make you tilted than it is to help you

tribal blade
#

that's actually a very good point

hazy breach
#

Sure there are niche scenarios where you could wait 1s before shadowstriking in and it would help

#

But i feel like the vast majority of the time its gonna be the tank pulling the boss at 1s left

#

And you getting tilted

keen dome
#

Ye

#

There's some dungeons where I think we'll have it up a LOT (dawnbreaker) and some where I bet we have it up like. twice (Grim, maybe.)

hazy breach
#

Fairly sure its the play regardless

keen dome
#

I think so too

hazy breach
#

The alternatives are weak as well

keen dome
#

Even a couple of applications are probably going to make the overall feeling better.

lilac stag
nimble burrow
#

thats crazy

keen dome
#

Hahaha, hell yes

#

Big burst! Let's goooo

errant ferry
#

Burst is nice, but man if anyone says we are not in a crap state right now we wrong 😦

#

Borderline unplayable in m+ high keys anyway

lilac stag
#

@haughty mural

gritty knot
#

@round latch yes. and actually i had like 7-8 million dps some pulls, biggest was around 8,4 million burst in aoe. (with aug tho=

round latch
#

i wanna play sub

gritty knot
#

what a difference this is...i remember the biggest crazy pulls in necrotic week before changes and i pressed all my stupid buttons like a madman and still hadnt more than max 4 million

round latch
#

ive had 9mil pulls on NW

#

and my gear isnt that great

#

no skadryns

gritty knot
#

as sub?

#

ah as assa u mean

round latch
gritty knot
#

ye assa goes crazy 😄

round latch

Coz im Sap

gritty knot

but i am sick of assa...

#

just wanna play sub again

lilac stag
#

smash my head against the desk playing DS sub

round latch
lilac stag
#

alpha nothing. the gameplay is just shit and not enjoyable for me

round latch
#

personally love it and used to it from arenas

#

literally played deathstalker sub on my orc

lilac stag
#

i stopped paying attention at arenas kekman

round latch
#

weak

spiral apex
#

for raiding 11.0.5

#

assa or sub

lilac stag
#

whatever makes you happy. it's all good

spiral apex
#

i love both

lilac stag
#

youre asking inthe sub channel

#

what answer are you expecting

spiral apex
#

tell me sub

#

i need validation

lilac stag

sub is more than fine

spiral apex

weird person

lilac stag

lol

round latch
#

joking ofc

spiral apex
#

😭

lilac stag
#

sub overall is in a good spot right now, added bonus trickster parry reduction works for raid, not just the rogue

merry agate
#

okay i'm a fan of first dance and its probably even better next week without these fkn orbs feelskek

dawn hinge
lilac stag
#

for your melee friends at least

dawn hinge
#

that's wicked

tribal blade
#

biggest difference it makes is for your tanks

keen dome
#

You know who makes the first dance suck?

#

BRANN BRONZEBEARD

#

Where did you put the egg, Brann.

weak horizon
#

Let's say in a key I open with all CD's on first big pull but then until the next boss, I save SB and Flag.

So now the only CD's I use are Symbols/dance/cold blood/sectech

When is the most optimal time to use symbols/dance combo while clearing trash? After opener?

haughty mural
#

checking again later when i'll be back home

#

thx anyway Surebud

lilac stag
steel spindle
#

is it okay to just stack Mastery/Crit

#

instead of vers

alpine wraith
#

you will do less dmg but it is not horribe

dry plank
#

Better stuck vers, for assa it is also good

#

Switch neck and rings and you are gucci

steel spindle
#

yeah, like half and half

vivid cobalt
#

finally did some keys last night as trickster and ngl dude sub feels better now than before patch

rough geyser
#

Is sub fixed yet

alpine wraith
#

some bugs were fixed others remain

hazy breach
#

Not sure what fixed refers to

thick field
#

I see people in logs macrosing shadow dance with symbols - isnt thhis bad? don't you overwrite symbols?

sick jackal
#

But in opener you wanna press symbols and dance together

thick field
#

right but then the second application you overwrite 2 sec

#

is is not that important?

alpine wraith
#

it is fine it is on pandemic

#

just i would not recommend

thick field
#

wait symbols has pandemic period?

alpine wraith
#

as i prefer to get a charger for sec tech or coup or both

#

with second symbols

#

yes it has pandemic

#

you can use it at 3 secs

thick field
#

damn this is all new sorry thank you

vale pine
sly shore
#

kept recasting sod as sub with macro

#

so I changed it

#
/cast Thistle Tea
/cast !Symbols of Death
/cast Shadow Dance```
#

now it'll only cast if symbols isn't active

vale pine
#

oh thats smartk

#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

sly shore
#

😛

vale pine
#

was the other option

sly shore
#

na

#

my way is "better" for me

#

cos I enter dance with it

#

and I have a glow on symbols

vale pine
#

ye, its a good macro

sly shore
#

trigger 3 is the flag buffs

#

cos the only time u do it is during flag

#

+8 mists at 618 ilvl

#

and that's fucking up the first boss

indigo drift
#

Did everyone get some anti depressants after all your dooming

sly shore
#

this spec still has a lot of problems

#

it's not intuitive at all if you're new to it

hazy breach

This chat has been relatively doomfree for the past week now

The one ending in 77 is the countdown

warm goblet
#

havent simmed or anything, just out of curiosity, wowhead suggests talenting into RS for single target trickster build

alpine wraith
#

yea it is fine

warm goblet
#

wouldn't finality also work there?

alpine wraith
#

no diff gates

lilac stag
#

you can sim that row and they’re all close

#

ie all shit

warm goblet
#

aight ty

#

a bit weird to me that 20% rup dam has the same value as finality

#

will sim tonight

hazy breach
#

You cant pick finality instead

lilac stag
#

As soon as an add comes in RS should win

#

sub rupture is strong

hazy breach
#

All of the points on the bottom is already spent

#

The things you can replace replicating with is gloomblade, the first dance, improved sht and mos

sly shore
#

it only stops you removing it, like a recastable ability

hazy breach
#

But also finality isnt that much stronger than replicating anyway, both are kinda ass. 1 point of finality is roughly 7.5% rupture damage and 7.5% evis damag. Which isnt that much more than 20% rupture damage

sly shore
#
/cast Thistle Tea
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null 
/cqs```
#

This obv works

warm goblet
vivid cobalt
alpine wraith
#

nope

weak horizon
#

What's the best way to manage holding Symbols+Dance for upcoming SB/Flag CD combo?

I've noticed sometimes I'm like ok cool I've got shadow dance in 50s and SB/Flag in 55s so I'll hold it, but then shadow dance CD keeps quickly going down

#

What's a good marker that you guys would hold symbols+dance?

hazy breach
#

I'd recommend to never sectech or dance when flag is 20s or less away

weak horizon
#

Ok so 20s left on SB/Flag is a good stop-marker for the smaller CDs?

spark tusk
alpine wraith
#

ehehe

#

he is a/b testing our brains

weak horizon
#

But it's insane to me how much of a step-up in DPS is

I went from sin to sub and I added like 350k dps on boss fights lol

alpine wraith
#

sub can be very good if you know how to use its strenghts

how can i play with old Flag icon?

balmy notch
#

hi i just started a sub rogue a couple days ago, im now lvl 74 and im kinda struggling to keep nimble flurry up 100% of the time, is it because i dont have disorienting strikes yet? does it become a non factor at 80 to the point you dont have to track it?

#

i guess low haste is also a thing because less secret techs overall

#

it happens a lot in dungeons that i get to a new pack and don't have unseen blade cd yet, and up wasting my opener doing shuriken storm black powder for poop dps

alpine wraith
#

yea disorienting strikes is big

#

without that one it is hard

agile mural
#

with trickster on aoe do i use cleave or black powder?

alpine wraith
#

you use evis

balmy notch
#

if i mess up and dont have unseen blade on opener, do i throw a naked secret tech to get nimble flurry up? or is it better to drool with shuriken/powder until everything lines up again?

alpine wraith
#

while flawless form is up

It’s been peaceful since SC got fixed

Unless you’re a deathstalkermark simp

fair stump
#

On opener, I find myself with a good 5 seconds or so of symbols before dance expires. Do I press both at the same time or press dance and wait until symbols goes down to pandemic timer?

#

Also, I tend to have 1 more gcd left for sectec, so I tend to dance > evisc > symbols > sectec >evisc, is that fine?

#

That would be the second dance of the opener

keen dome
#

Did a +10 Dawnbreaker as Sub. Felt super good to be playing the spec in keys like that again. Almost beat my Ret buddy. Didn't time because, uh, shenanigans happened with some trash.

#

TFD felt really good in it, too

weak horizon
#

I feel like sub is insanely strong on ST so I'm struggling to find a decent number of enemies to decide aoe rotation on

#

My guess is 3-4?

#

Like most specs I guess

vestal escarp
#

if you're playing trickster you dont

keen dome
#

Well, my AoE rotation is the same as my ST rotation 'cos trickster.

#

So I just slam.

weak horizon
#

So no shuriken?

vestal escarp
#

outside dance

keen dome
#

Only outside dance, yeah.

#

Very little changes until.. 13 targets?

weak horizon
#

So during dance I should be focusing ST damage, and outside of dance then I should do shuriken?

keen dome
#

In dance Strike is more valuable and you generate more combies. So you can Strike Evis to AoE, etc. outside, Shurien gives us more combies which is why we use it.

#

(In AoE situations)

balmy notch
#

is there a reason to track goup de grace? does it change anythign in the rotation?

vestal escarp
#

and be sure you're reading stuff for the appropriate hero talents

spark tusk
#

but it can be leveraged

#

More advanced sub players I'm sure have stronger opinions that I do, I haven't even tried playing in the patch but from discussing with Armin there's some use to it still

balmy notch
#

im omega noob not even lvl 80 yet, can i disable tracking until im more comfortable with the spec?

spark tusk
#

100%

balmy notch
#

don't worry about tracking it for now

lilac stag
spark tusk

better?

#

or you mean

#

I need to play the spec

hazy breach
#

You dont really use bp or anyhting to hold onto coup anymore ye

#

(unless its like silken court with a damage amp)

spark tusk
#

eleem why is bountiful seasons still finesse

hazy breach
#

Guess winter is only november

keen dome
#

Maybe tomorrow.

#

Clocks go back (In the UK). maybe, for some incredibly strange reason, that's when Blizz decided to go for it

lilac stag
spark tusk
#

Listen I have priorities I'll get to it

gray zephyr
#

So we don't hold coup for next shadow dance? I thought that was the play
And also doing black powder in the meantime

hazy breach
#

its not bad to do

#

Its neutral

#

But its more thinking so no point to recommend it

gray zephyr
#

Understood

spark tusk
#

I assume that like

#

If for some reason you don't have fazed up

#

you should hold coup until then, yeah?

hazy breach
#

Ye that too

keen dome
hazy breach
#

Using coup without fazed stinks

spark tusk

Haha

#

Did sub see significant rotation changes with the patch? Other than the obvious dust CDR, but CDs just natty line up now

lilac stag
#

yes

balmy notch
#

is there a way to disable tricks of the trade animation? i just got the talent and it sits on me for 1 hour lol its so distracting

iron imp
#

bummer, I kinda liked the way sub played

lilac stag
#

It plays better

#

And I was a dust enjoyer

check wowhead for a summary

Supercharger 👌

#

I still dont understand why flag is 24 seconds and not like 20, but it is what it is

lilac stag
#

This may be my favorite flow since dfa

iron imp
#

Really? Wow alright sweet

#

Ill have to play around with it

lilac stag
#

stuff feels meaningful

balmy notch
lilac stag
#

You can track it

#

Not needed

hazy breach
#

Mostly passive not needed to track it

pliant topaz
#

U don’t track it really, if u do the sextech <8 naturally one of the 2 will be on sectech which is all u care about

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

The supercharger "buff" lasts indefinitely so you can use a symbols as soon as you rez and you will start the boss fight with 2 charged finishers

#

(you can stack up to 7 charges but it resets down to 2 when you pull a boss, so no need to cast more than one symbols)

lilac stag
#

RS inting still

pliant topaz
#

Bow if we could get a talent that makes idk blades reset a sod charge or something or every x charges u get a charge back or something. That’d be neat. Maybe make the refund a charge for m+

#

That’d be neat

#

Or something like fiery rush, where sod and dance recharge faster during blades for example

balmy notch
#

sorry to ask again but do we just play with the tricks of the trade animation on us permanently? its so annoying lol

lilac stag
#

pmuch

keen dome
#

Blades resetting a SoD would be pretty nice, that's a cool idea

steel spindle
#

would you use a 619 skardyns grace over a 626 transmitter

sly shore
#

no

#

transmitter is too good for sub

warm ore
#

Anyone have some gameplay i can watch or a video guide or something. Cant really wrap my head around how it plays without seing it

pliant topaz

U can maybe catch stealthi when he’s streaming, not a lot of sub creators.

Or maybe when kierons streaming

Is the parry thing intentional for trickster or is it only meant for rogue?

As in "buff" for the raid

Probably not intentional

But its extremly minor anyway

Yeah. Was just curious

I'm sin atm on Princess but could dabble back in sub soon for silken/queen

I do like it alot tbh

uneven scarab
#

Maybe some optimization in aoe im not sure

#

Maybe also outdated? Idk

#

Probably some reason for it

#

Im positive blades doesnt work with sectech though

edgy zenith
#

it works on the phys portion

#

not the clones

#

iirc

uneven scarab
#

Hmm

tame terrace
#

well if thats what the apl says to do i guess

edgy zenith
#

i think you just slam all CDs same time and pray you get 16 shadowcrafts back to back

lol

no more vanish as a dps tool kinda funny

#

for sub

Its so nice

#

sin and outlaw still use it for dps LOL

#

its so fucking funny

edgy zenith
#

i had a 4 in row last night in opener, didn't even know it was possible

nimble burrow
#

brothers i want to make a little Wa for this part idk whether i will success but lets try

tame terrace
#

oh is eleems thing also updated in the faq

#

i didnt check that

nimble burrow
#

yea i check but i just cant make my memory good at it

#

always forget

#

so i was going like making a WA to remind me of that

edgy zenith
#

real talk, I kinda like the idea of sending SoD around sectech and not sending sectech inside SoD

#

like the prio there

#

is way more fun

#

i am so happy with the changes so far

uneven scarab
#

M+ feels alot better

tame terrace
#

im on vaca rn and havent tried new sub yet

uneven scarab
#

More consistently blasting packs

edgy zenith
#

yeah, I actually had a 2M overall in a key without an aug

#

i didn't think it would ever be possible

nimble burrow
#

any weakaura master? i guess it need custom Code

uneven scarab
#

Boss dam is ChefsKiss

spark tusk
# nimble burrow any weakaura master? i guess it need custom Code

At this point I have finished my Assassination WAs, and I will be moving into Sub for the patch soon. One of the main things I want to tackle is showing your Dance and Symbols charges predicted at the time of blades so you can know if you're save to use them again.

#

So, I will be working on some custom stuff, though I think what you posted, Bac, doesn't necessarily require custom code

#

But I have my eye on sub now over the next week so I can cook up something

edgy zenith
#

you'll need a custom trigger

#

but not a custom event trigger

nimble burrow
#

ohpeepoStudy i am a aura noob, i thought it needs to let WA to check which time to proc the rules we need

alpine wraith
#

right now might want to put 2 warnings on sec tech

#

1 to holf if CB is 10 secs or less away

#

then same if flag is 20 secs away

#

those will help people the most rn

spark tusk
#

noted

edgy zenith
alpine wraith
#

for symbols i dont think you can do much because it is very dynamic

alpine wraith
edgy zenith
#

just send CB on an evis and natty crit the sectech

spark tusk
edgy zenith
#

ez clap

alpine wraith
#

ahaha

spark tusk
#

then a bunch of condition logic

nimble burrow
#

i want to make it like the Traffic light, when the 1st rule comes, it becomes red on icon with glow and we cast nothing burst to wait, then when we reach 2nd rule, it show yellow glow to tell us we can send one symbol with secret, at 3rd rules it just become green light then we brust

spark tusk
#

Just briefly you can make an aura with sectec cd trigger 1, then dance/sod/flag cd triggers
Make 3 glows, one for each color
then go down the line, if flag cd < 20, red.
if flag cd > 20 and sectec rdy, etc etc, yellow

edgy zenith
#

yeah, or if you just want an icon that'll pop up when you should send CDs, you could make a bunch of triggers with those durations that you want (the rules of sending the sectech: flag under blah, this many charges of blah, etc) and just make it so it only triggers with all triggers active

#

that'll be easier to make, but no red-light, green-light thing

nimble burrow
#

thats a good idea too

#

but now my issue is i cant find CD in triggerdead

spark tusk
nimble burrow
#

okay sir

uneven scarab
#

ma’am****

spark tusk
edgy zenith
nimble burrow
#

yes i get it

spark tusk
#

Currently my plan is to have a light nudge on Flag when it's under the threshold, which informs if you sectec.

Then having an overlay onto my Blades CD telling me "When blades is ready, at current state you will have X Symbols charges and Y Dances", with which you use those numbers to determine if you send either of those with your sectec. The Dances number will always be updating because of CDR which I think is ok, I really don't want to get into predicting cdr based on CP usage, so I think I'll just stick with it normally for the first version and see how it feels

#

That's waht I've been brainstorming before starting my updates anyways

nimble burrow
#

peepoStudy very good idea

edgy zenith
#

hmmm, the dance CDR part is the hard part to determine for most people though, no?

spark tusk
#

Possibly

#

But at the very least it will do some of the mental math for you right

#

to at least say "for the natural cd, you'll be here" and you will slowly work progress towards it with cdr

#

again, for first version

#

Actually determining with the CDR is such a dynamic situation based on usage and the fight and how many you get from aoe vs st etc

edgy zenith
#

yeah, it would be VERY hard to predict if you should send anyway

#

you could find the average amount of time it takes for a dance charge to CD

spark tusk
#

that it would be a very crazy set of measurements etc

edgy zenith
#

and then use that number as the threshold

spark tusk
#

and may be way more work than needed, the straightforward telling of the number may be enough

spark tusk
#

Again, planning on not doing it first version, if it feels like it's not enough info I'll look into expanding it

edgy zenith
#

i actually don't even know the number honestly, I just feely-craft it

#

and I'm right most of the time lmao

spark tusk
#

I mean these are clearly not necessary, like you all are playing fine so far without

#

but I think it could help some of the mental math cog load

edgy zenith
#

definitely. but that's part of the fun!

yep

rez and send one insta in raid

Ive been missing so much dmg

it's OP

uneven scarab

Well its not THAT much damage

#

but its nice

violet torrent
edgy zenith
#

feels good for rupture basically

#

not sure how much damage increase it actually is

sinful sluice
#

Cant seem to get good logs off AoE bosses..

#

Well for 2nd boss i went for far AoE so cant really do much but for 1,4

edgy zenith
#

rash logs only account for boss dam, unless they changed it back and I don't know

sinful sluice
#

They cound adds now

#

Count*

edgy zenith
#

oh, nice. i sit on rash in my guild so

uneven scarab
#

Yeah you can choose to count/exclude

sinful sluice
#

And fury warrior just juice them up

uneven scarab
#

default i think counts them

nimble burrow
#

does this means the CD to active? i didnt find the "remaining CD" option, Trigger 3 is for flag, and this is for the 1st rule

edgy zenith
#

first set of adds might not get insta blasted anymore because of no dust, how does that feel btw

sinful sluice
#

On rashanan?

#

Its oneshot anyway, you cant do that much dmg to adds

#

For me i just do 1 sectech per add and cant really do more

edgy zenith
nimble burrow
#

hum..

spark tusk
#

If you have this ^ set to On Cooldown

#

It will only show up when it's on Cooldown and will not when it's ready

#

I like to have that set to Always most of the time

nimble burrow
#

oh, i was setting to this but i didnt understand the word at first then i change it, now i understand, ty Lisonna!dsxCatHeart

edgy zenith
#

and so YOU would be the top dog and just oneshot everything

#

not sure how it lines up now with no dust

#

haven't played that fight yet

sinful sluice
#

You still have your sectech, but its your 2nd one i believe

tame terrace
#

hows ds vs trickster now? still the same reasons to play either of them as before?

edgy zenith
#

so they are basically the same dam

tame terrace
#

ah

spark tusk
#

DS is for squares

#

Trickster is the coolpanda

sinful sluice
#

Yeah i checked again, you have to hold your 2nd tech to use them on adds

#

Cant have 3red one back by the time

edgy zenith
spark tusk
#

That's probably for the best, I think progression is worth being square

edgy zenith
#

😦

#

btw does elusiveness stack with Bait and Switch?

#

for evasion?

violet torrent
#

I'd think so

edgy zenith
#

so having both would give 36% magic DR and 20% phys DR?

tame terrace
#

sub do be trickster, sin deathstalker, and outlaw fatebound
it do just be like that frfe

edgy zenith
#

yeah check glow visibility

#

on display tab

lilac stag
#

or it glows when it comes off CD? And then shuts off the rest of the time

edgy zenith
#

and make sure you're either adding the visibility with the right condition as well

#

or make it turn off with the other conditions

Can I write a macro that it doesnt activate cold blood for Eviscerate but only for Coup?

nimble burrow
# edgy zenith

yea i did, but it not glowing, maybe i should ask some masters to know how it works, also with no casting Symbol it wont be show

edgy zenith
#

that means the condition isn't being met above, so double check that all the conditionals make sense

#

you can send me the wa and I'll give it a lookover rq, but no promises

nimble burrow
#

it will be happy to

#

just DMed u sir!

#

time to bedge, its been too late, i made this in half-sleepy

lucid lily
#

Which you can macro

edgy zenith
# nimble burrow it will be happy to

okay, couple of things:
I believe charge values can only be integer values, so no rational numbers in there (you had 1.1, 1.5, etc.) You could find a work around by doing something like charge = 1 AND remain duration <= 12.5s for SoD or something like that, but I wouldn't do something like that, it would be too complicated for your level of WA creation haha

Change it so in the display tab the glows 1, 2, and 3 have the "Show Glow" box UNCHECKED, and make it so in the conditions tab the Then statement for each conditional has the glow 2 visilibity ON (has the checkmark filled in)

also, not sure what you're wanting in conditional 2 for trigger 4 active false, this means that this conditional will ONLY fire when shadow dance is NOT on cooldown, meaning it has 2 stacks. I don't think you are meaning for this to happen

edgy zenith
nimble burrow
#

ty for helping!

edgy zenith
#

also, there is going to be a problem I think with having the Show option on "On Cooldown"

#

you should have it set to always for all of them

nimble burrow
#

thats fair

edgy zenith
#

otherwise the triggers won't be active unless the spell is on CD and your condionals won't be active so it will never tell you to send your buttons if all your stuff is ready

#

which doesn't make sense lmao

# slate nest For a free shadowstrike hit

imo 2 things, 1) u can use the vanish shield instead of the stealth dr talent, and soothing darkness. together they can be very strong defensives for higher keys.

what's the sub situation these days? How come it's not super strong rn?

spark tusk
#

So we aim to have 2 dance 2 symbols when flag + blades is ready

#

but dance's max charges are 2, so I assume we try to press flag when dance is very close to capping?

near rivet
#

you are using second dance like 10 seconds after using flag

spark tusk
#

ah ok right

near rivet
#

counting on fingers, you should easily build up like 15-20 seconds of CD during that time (+ 10 seconds of natural time)

#

so my guess is 1,5 stacks should be fine, but i havent done the math there

spark tusk
#

was just reading the recommendations too literally

#

yeah something like that

#

makes sense thanks

near rivet
#

i need to sit for a while and math in a formula for symbols into WA

#

and stop wondering mid pack if can i use it or do i need to hold for cds that happen in next 40 seconds

#

Already cooking

#

if you didn't want to do that work, of course you're free to as well

golden totem
#

Why do we finish at 6cp during dance now

near rivet
spark tusk
#

Currently what I have cooking but it's still early on, those are number of charges you will have when blades is ready, not sure if that needs to be moved to flag instead

near rivet
#

and i kinda grow used to it hard enough, that im simply unable to play without it

rugged flicker
#

did subrogue get damage nerfed?

im no longer one shotting anything in tomb of sargeras (lvl 47) mythic

hazy breach
#

But for deathstalker its about the same to finish at 5 or 6

rugged flicker
#

at 604 ilvl

spark tusk
#

So like when sectec comes up, if dance charge > 2.6 or 2.7 or whatever it is, send dance, if symbols > 3, send symbols

golden totem
spark tusk
#

Or maybe they should be on top of sectec

near rivet
#
  • also, when i code the WA's to actually work according to APL then i learn the rotation way faster than doing the dummy
spark tusk
#

since that's the operative spell

golden totem
#

I'll do my feel craft of finishing at 5 if there is 3 gcd left or strike again at 5 if 2gcd left

#

Seems good to me

wind canopy
spark tusk
#

Also

#

My sectec and flag are next to each other on the pack

#

so I can put them on the edge of sectec that borders flag, because that's also operative to sectec

near rivet
#

i think you need around 1.7 symbols charge when pressing flag

#

second charge should come up when ready

spark tusk
#

hm

#

yeah so then if the number I have is > 2.7

#

you're in the clear

#

to symbols

#

May have to test about and find that exact number but that's the idea

#

once we know it

#

Not currently planning on trying to fiddle with dance CDR and think I'm just going to let it show the natural progression

#

at least, for the first version

golden totem
silent ruin
#

why does the latest hotfix talk about dispatch for subtlety ?

near rivet
#

since flag cast and first dance expiry you should do around 5 finishers, thats 35 (+6 from supercharged) combo points, wo its 20 seconds cdr on dance

#

5 is the low-end guess

Sometimes you cant help but energy cap. The important thing is that you dont run out of energy during dance

Ideally you send it when you're sub 50 energy but depending on situation u cant always
