seems like in the kill the rogue was red

sly shore
#

doesn't matter

slate nest
#

but it probably doesn't matter yeah

near rivet
#

with dust it did matter, yes?

sly shore
#

no

#

it didn't matter

#

Red has to stand off the boss on a vulnerable phase in p3 to bait a frontal with our Strat

near rivet
#

i could swear that someone said that we are losing 2 cd sets on amps on one color and 1 cd set on other

shy ermine
#

Where we’d like to pop

#

But I’m red anyway

sly shore
#

Neither group moves off boss during a damage amp, idk where you heard that

#

blue just makes space so red can move

#

then no one has to be sad and moves off boss on that caster frontal

#

standing in where prog is early I1 so far, so it looks like team color doesnt matter that much

The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.

oh hey

#

Wait, can u just press symbols 3 times in a row and have the DMG buff stacked 3 times? I never tried that yet but I just read that here in the chat 😂 is that true? Wouldn't that be insane for example like at first boss Mists of Tirna as soon as u do 200% more DMG?

shy ermine
#

Supercharger stacks, symbols itself doesn’t

#

You can use it again inside pandemic 3s but any earlier and you lose value

gritty knot
#

Ye idk, someone here in Discord wrote it and I am at work rn. I thought maybe it's a bug or idk 🤷

#

Does anyone know of any regular sub streamers or video makers for keys/raid?

lilac stag
#

no, have you tried looking on youtube?

#

Hacha makes some stuff

snow berry
#

Yer tried but all seemed old ish

lilac stag
#

filter by date

#

we're the least popular spec on the 2nd to last popular class. video content isn't exactly a money maker

It says italian language but we talk spaghettinglish....

Usually with 2 to 5 viewers 😂 streaming for my vod mostly 🤣

Hmm.. Bloodmallet says the Gear Launcher is incredibly broken

#

I find these rankings really sus

hazy breach
#

The sub sims on bloodmallet is simming without any talents

cloud rover

#

Ill fix it

merry agate
vestal escarp
#

ok sub confirmed broken pls nerf

warm marlin
#

interesting comp u got there

vestal escarp
#

deepening needs to be 0.4

#

sectech dmg down another 6%

sly shore
#

ya they either need to remove

#

or buff the cdr

#

or just make dance 3 charges to match sod

#

since we only use it with sod anywya

#

then they add this spell right

#

that launches you in the air

thick field
#

confused with the written guide - a few places say play trickster in raid all the time, some say deathstalker has more throughput.. what are we doing? Looking at wclogs it seems pretty split tbh

sly shore
#

if you're with me so far

#

and then you fly back down and do a huge eviscerate

#

deathstalker does more single target

#

trickster does more cleave and aoe

strange chasm
#

Launches you so high up you swap to sin mid air

tepid trellis
#

yes

#

didn't stuck in my brain after listening, i am immune coolpanda

Did they change the way target macros work in the patch? Old tricks macro is working like 20% of the time now and can't figure out whats up? Does this look wrong?

/cast [target="tankname"] Tricks of the Trade

wicked joltBOT
#

Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
hazy breach
#

I'd recommend using this WA/macro combo. It will auto target your tank all the time

slate flint
#

bruh

#

do you have to do any setup for it before runs?

#

for m+ specifically?

lilac stag
#

Sis

#

Nah

obsidian ember

all the time

slate flint
#

word thanks, didnt realize that was an option now lmao

weary kite
#

wtf. ok. thanks man

slate flint
#

saves me a few r clicks and copy tank names eh

lilac stag
#

More than 12 of us in here (for now) and every day someone’s brain melts. kekdog

hazy breach
#

And theres a custom option section if you want to specify somebody that either aint a tank or a specific tank in raid

lilac stag
#

our ele shaman is my favorite custom target.

#

looks like sub is pretty neck and neck with sin in raid with the exception of the obvious on brood

#

I full swapped to sin, but now Im thinking I may want to go back to sub for raid

haughty mural
solemn lance
#

or is that because of the coup bug this week?

#

that was fixed

lilac stag

Supercharger

vestal escarp
#

assa cant do this

hoary sun
#

Yeah it can double it

narrow shadow
vestal escarp
#

assa cant do that

tepid trellis
#

aug screenshots

vivid cobalt
#

Assa def still higher in m+ but sub feels much more competitive now and if bosses are ever an issue for your group sub could be the better option

tepid trellis
#

just do 2mil without aug

vestal escarp
#

it's for the extra troll

tepid trellis
#

cmon guys

narrow shadow
#

The issue is that assa still has the 6 second AoE silence

vestal escarp
#

bro the comp is too normal

narrow shadow
#

I find that utility too good

slate marlin
#

does the raider dummy in zuldazar increase dps or is that one accurate¿

lilac stag
#

Raccoon wants to know why you’re not hitting 3 milli

that song has been stuck in my head ever since it was released

its so damn catchy

tepid trellis

i cant escape it

warm depot
#

they banned it in korea during exam season lol

granite hinge
#

how's sub going compared to sin in m+ rn?

sly shore
#

considering assa is possibly the strongest melee in keys rn

tepid trellis
#

its like the old ass Love scenario from ikon

#

so catchy it gets banned

lilac stag
warm depot
#

i remember when d4 by bp was banned too lol

#

kpop is just too good at being earworms

lilac stag
#

but are you on your way?

warm depot
#

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah im on my way

tepid trellis

i had to read that like 4 times to realise what song it was xD

alpine wraith

are you ok

you play around sod & sectech

tough knot
#

What's your filler finisher?

tough knot
lilac stag
#

evis or rupture

alpine wraith
#

sub does too apart from putting ruptures after dancing

tough knot
#

Oh, so no more BP spam, sounds nice

alpine wraith
#

you can still bp with deathstalker

#

if you like suffering

tough knot
#

Hacha, you got a video of current sub gameplay?

#

You do, nice, will watch it later

hazy breach
#

Idk its just weird to me people say sub was/is just bp spam.

#

Like ye if you ignore the other 12 buttons youre pressing

pliant topaz
#

A

#

P

#

T

lilac stag
tough knot
#

Yeah, you pressed other buttons but not a lot, at least in dungeons

hazy breach
#

You did

#

thats my entire point

tough knot
#

You did a few ruptures and you had dance

#

But the gameplay in between dances wasn't that engaging

lilac stag
#

between dances it’s meant to be maintenance.

tough knot
#

Assa right now in single target is really boribg

#

I understand that

#

Doesn't make it engaging though

pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

a cd spec is engaging in cds and not when out of them. Weird.

tough knot
pliant topaz
#

still is

#

everything is builder finisher

pliant topaz
#

with a few exetra steps

tough knot
#

No no, just finisher, no builder, for one day last week

lilac stag
#

have fun exploiting ?

pliant topaz
#

Im aware of the bug abuse yea

#

regardless, I find sin a bit boring in both aoe and ST.
I find sub engaging in both aoe and ST
and I despise outlaw in both aoe and ST.

lilac stag
#

assa just floods you with energy and you can ignore it. Numbers go brrrrr.

#

sub at least feels rewarding for getting your cds ready for each 90 sec go

tough knot
#

Last I played sub was right after the rework on DF, the spec felt like complete shit in between dances, so slow

#

Is that better now?

alpine wraith
#

still slow

#

but dmg is good in dance

lilac stag
#

honestly just try the spec on dummies. Fun will always be subjective.

#

You can look for everything wrong or try it and see what you may actually enjoy.

#

Dmg is more than competitive.

tough knot
#

Too much work, I trust hacha on this

lilac stag
#

yeah hitting that spec swap button is so much work

tough knot
#

I usually prefer more uptime specs anyway

#

I need to grab a build, my weak auras are probably outdated, I changed how I do keybinds since I last played it

#

So not just hitting swap spec

lilac stag
#

got it. 5 mins. OMEGAKEKW

tough knot
#

I take a while to make my weakauras

#

Probably around 30-60 min on that, depending on what needs to be coded

lilac stag
#

you dont need to rewrite a UI to test how the spec plays in general to your liking. fix your ui if you vibe with it

#

if you hate it you've wasted nothing

golden totem
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
tough knot
#

I just trust hacha on this one, he says it's still slow in between dances and I really dislike that

#

No need to spend time testing

alpine wraith
#

yea first 1:30 mins fly quite fast because we have some extra SoD power from talents

#

but after that it becomes measured again

tepid trellis
#

50apm in p1 ansurek

#

its vibes

#

lil bit lower cuz uknow defensives and what not

#

but you get the point

#

and im basically afk for 1min cuz i need to save cds for the shield

#

so in reality its gonna be a bit higher

round latch
#

is it better/worse?

tepid trellis
#

better

sly shore
#

three charges of SoD just is not intuitive to me

#

as well as

#

it being completely unfriendly to new players

hazy breach
#

They didnt really make it more intuitive or easy

sly shore
#

absolute nightmare

hazy breach
#

But it does feel better

pliant topaz
#

its alot more interesting to play though

#

I prefer this freedom to move cds over dust

#

its healthier to move dance/sod arund

#

rather than flag/blades

round latch
#

i like it,more than sin currently

alpine wraith
#

i always had the idea of more charges of SoD being good

#

for the health of the spec problem is i kinda wanted dust too but this is not horrible either

pliant topaz
#

it does have its own problems but im a fan so far

vale pine
#

supercharger is just rly good, it is the main reason it feels better

lilac stag
round latch
#

yup its a steampack(for the starcraft lovers)

lilac stag
#

spec rewards understanding now.

#

Yay

round latch
#

i think rotten is also very good now

alpine wraith
#

i do like supercharger making us able to do some cool things like old anticipation

lilac stag
#

Assa hit any button. Do dmg

alpine wraith
#

being able to get 2 or 4 chargers if you know some big lame rp is coming

#

like CoT

#

or dawnbreaker or grim batol

round latch
#

u can like push ur sectech cdr back faster and back-to-back them

sly shore
#

supercharger mega stacking flag is very good I will say

round latch
#

its alot of dmg compressed

alpine wraith
#

yea 2 finishers and sec tech already caps it

#

when you cast it

swift merlin
#

Rando question but how do you guys find good guilds to join?

sly shore
#

wowprogress, raiderio, warcraftlogs

alpine wraith
#

painfully

sly shore
#

all have lists

#

all have searchable guilds

swift merlin
#

Which one is most used would you say?

#

i.e. Has the most listed

round latch
#

wowprogress

swift merlin
#

Ok ty

round latch
#

u r welcome fam

vale pine
#

something to not forget

alpine wraith
#

what fuu is saying is just crit mandate all the time man

vale pine
#

or, not play mandate

alpine wraith
#

yea ovi nax M now sims highest for me

#

finally we scale better with actual stats

#

i also had it on vault but i chose socket instead

#

likely no one wants it and i can get it from boss eventually

vale pine
#

contract is about on par

#

but mandate is more fun to use

alpine wraith
#

contract is 11k behind for me vs ovi nax

#

but that is only a few %

pliant topaz
#

Crit does become a bit more useful in aoe situations

alpine wraith
#

so not that much in the grand scheme

#

i do like mandate for m+ to delete some fools and get resets

#

only getting 1 or 2 resets every so often should be better than contract

pliant topaz
#

I lowkey think transmitter + skardyns iss better for keys idk

#

specially if you have the preplanned route with efficient pulls

spark tusk
#

Collect or stand in circle

pliant topaz
#

jump 3 times

vale pine
#

orb is the worse

pliant topaz
#

I kinda dislike the jump a lot now

#

only time i prefer jump is ovinax

sly shore
#

orb is the worst for me too

vestal escarp
#

jump cringest

sly shore
#

that mf is invisible sometimes

sacred yarrow
#

If you go into Shadow Dance and you do not have 4 stacks of Escalating Blade or “Fazed” up you wanna use Secret Technique as the first finisher inside of Shadow Dance instead of 2nd.

If I go into SD with <4 EB but fazed is up, is ST still used as first finisher?
the or in the sentence is confusing me, sorry

pliant topaz
#

problem with orb is its hitbox is too tiny

strange chasm
alpine wraith
#

i have developed special tech for the orb

#

just moving face 40 to 60 degrees

#

so it spawns in a visible place

#

instead of the anus of the boss and 40 pets/players

pliant topaz
#

yep. or me on my dh and i double jump and wanna just double jump off the ship instead

strange chasm
#

!fuu

bronze hatch
#

For 4pc right

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

also coup is big cdr on sec tech

#

and now we kinda go by sec tech cd rules

bronze hatch
#

I’m OK with this
I kind of got introduced during invigorating shadow dust
This feels much nicer than what I got used to

alpine wraith
#

also if you have coup ready you also get charger on both

pliant topaz
# bronze hatch For 4pc right

we havent tested with/witohut 4pc to know its impact but the current understanding is to further push forward coup

#

the main thing with trickster is to cycle through coups as muc as u can

bronze hatch
#

So the 17% damage bonus is just gravy

#

I’m OK with this

pliant topaz
#

so u use sectech asap to get more UB hits, more coups, more cdr, more flawless stacks, and then the cdr gives u sectech again, so u can push forward the cycle

sacred yarrow
# vale pine you just secret first gcd always

But this is then written in the wowhead guide

The ideal use of the cooldown is usually the second finisher during Shadow Dance. This is usually the point where generating more Danse Macabre stacks does not increase your overall output.

I'm just trying to know when its best dracthyr_cry

fallow nimbus
#

As gnom the orb hitbox is very wierd, pls nerf queen roots

bronze hatch
#

Strikes me a little odd to use your mega finisher as your first move, but that makes a lot of sense

alpine wraith
#

yea might want to change that one unless

pliant topaz
#

you would use it 2nd finisher as eathstalker (when not in blades/flag)

bronze hatch
#

I’m noticing a DPS drop off if I rupture early

pliant topaz
#

the reason u use it as first finisher as deathstalker in flag/blades is becaue blades/transmitter duration is too short, and u want to ensure you can fit 2 dances in blades and each dance will include a sectech

bronze hatch
#

I tried sin and it’s ok but there’s just something about popping your cds and just exploding that draws me to sub

sacred yarrow
#

Assuming 6-7 Combo Points:
No SD and have 4 stacks EB+Fazed -> BP
No SD and have <3 stacks EB -> Evis
Have SD and 4 stacks EB+Fazed -> Evis
Have SD and <3 stacks EB but have Fazed -> ST?
Have SD and 4 stacks EB but no Fazed -> ST?

just wondering because the blackpowder for coup makes sense but SD without EB and/or Fazed is making me confused.
I understand these are just optimizations but I've been stuck with the english for a while, maybe on a dummy it better understandable?

pliant topaz
#

and thats good enough

sacred yarrow
#

now that is way easier to manage, yes!

alpine wraith
#

you would only BP if it is to get stratetegic value

#

like breaking a shield better or executing a mob that will spawn or whatever

#

but it wont be a general dps win to hold coup rn

sacred yarrow
#

so basically just ensure fazed is up for coup then send an evis and send ST always first anyways, EB/Fazed notwithstanding.

bronze hatch
sacred yarrow
#

thank you for helping with the english deconstruction 🫡

clever delta
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

assuming full uptime, is there a ballpark number for how much cdr you get off of dance while in dance during flag/blades?

bright sundial
#

sry for the question but is sub weak rn havent seen any subs really is it their dmg or just new stuff from 11.0.5?

pliant topaz
#

subs fine. just not the best rogue spec so it sees less play

alpine wraith
#

wont see play even if it is the best

#

so dont worry

bright sundial
#

welll

vale pine
#

it still lacks behind the strong tuned classes in aoe

bright sundial
#

i like the playstyle and ST is my fav button to press

vale pine
#

but holds up well else

#

it isn't played because assassiantion is tuned a lot stronger for a while now (entirety of tww)

#

it is a bit a design problem where specs lack enough unique niches to seperate

#

so tuning can quickly make one dominant everywhere, assassiantion has some extra benefits too which makes it even more dominant when favorable tuned

#

but if you like subtlety, its rly good

#

so can absolutely play it

desert panther
#

first m+ playing sub

vale pine
#

nicu

desert panther
#

not good not bad

vale pine
#

very close to the best dps in the key

#

would absolutely see this as a win

swift merlin
#

Prot Pala HOLY

desert panther
#

i was the only1 playing my main

raw moss
#

thing is, iron wire is giga in many dungeons xd

desert panther
#

they called me terrorist for playing sub

vale pine
vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug but both are rly good

hazy breach
lilac stag
swift merlin
#

I would've bet money last week Assa was gonna see a nerf

hazy breach
#

It did, but its mostly a token nerf

lilac stag
#

I think they wanted to see what bug fixes did

hazy breach
#

Wouldnt surprise me if theres another one in the following tuning set

#

Well ye the bugfixes removed more damage than the nerf does kek

vale pine
#

bugfix was quite big ye

lilac stag
#

still can’t see any redux in their dps

vale pine
#

sub also got a bit of dps from bugfixes

lilac stag
#

Not in keys at least.

vale pine
#

but overall, nothing changes

#

(more like 0.7% tho)

lilac stag
#

well sub became fun again

#

So that changed

vale pine
#

yes, supercharger is rly good

#

and the symbols charges help adding a bit of dynamic

swift merlin
#

Am I the only one that liked the ER minigame 😬

lilac stag
#

my dreams of no rupture spread living life to the fullest.

feral tundra
#

leveling an alt rogue planning to play only sub on that, i’m so clueless in this spec

vale pine
#

cdr bugfixes also make it less bad

feral tundra
#

don’t know rotations or anything lol

swift merlin
#

😭 It was kinda fun idk

lilac stag
#

Not fun at all on sub

feral tundra
lilac stag
#

You line up cds

#

We don’t full send

feral tundra
#

same as sin ST?

lilac stag
#

Hahaha

vale pine
feral tundra
#

idk

#

lol

vale pine
#

you use flagelaltion

#

then you are like

#

oh what cooldowns do i have too?

feral tundra
#

oh yeah haven’t even unlocked flag yet

vale pine
#

symbols, dance, blades

lilac stag
#

assa has like 1.5 CDs. Sub has 5

vale pine
#

and you align everything to create a big burst sequence

feral tundra
lilac stag
#

it gets less confusing

feral tundra
#

but it’s so bursty

uneven scarab
#

Once you realize the purpose of the cd’s its really not confusing

feral tundra
#

i like it

lilac stag
#

but dw until 80

#

leveling is awful

feral tundra
#

i feel like i’m playing for the enemy team when running dungeons as i level

#

that’s how bad i am rn

uneven scarab
#

rogue leveling just sucks in general

#

All the good stuff is at the end of the tree

feral tundra
#

it’s weird not spreading garrote and rupture everywhere

lilac stag
#

outlaw probably easier in dungeons while leveling.

uneven scarab
#

Yeah prob

swift merlin
#

Do you have nimble flurry unlocked

feral tundra
uneven scarab
lilac stag
#

subs kit sucks

#

And you need everything

#

otherwise. 💩

#

you’ll hit a dry spell where your dps talents are like a .5% upgrade. PogO

feral tundra
#

yikes

lilac stag
#

but when you can slap em all together it works

stiff remnant
#

is the wowhead opener rotation accurate for this patch?

lilac stag
#

Should be

#

ss Evis van ss flag rupture start cds

swift tinsel
#

thought we flag before first rupture

#

wait nvm before first evisc

mighty delta
#

when in m+ with tornado would opener look like this?: strike-> Evis -> storm -> flag -> rupture -> Tornado -> Dance + symbols -> Sectech -> Blades -> powder -> powder -etc.

#

and are we using tornado on cd?

lilac stag
vale pine
#

you don't use tornado in the opener

#

tornado is a "filler" spell

#

you either use it to spread rupture

lilac stag
#

Don’t use tornado at all. kekdog

swift tinsel
#

I actually dropped nado for veil bc it sims 1.7% better st vs .2% worse aoe

mighty delta
#

ah ok i was using it like last szn

vale pine
#

can on higher targets use it with symbols for "burst"

mighty delta
#

when we used to do it in opener

swift tinsel
#

and I just don't like the button in general lol

mighty delta
#

can someone link the m+ build that doesnt take tornado?

swift tinsel
#

you just move the point from nado to veiltouched

vale pine
mighty delta
#

tysm!

#

gonna try that for funsies

vale pine
#

i rly like this one

#

the first dance also feels nice

lilac stag
#

I would swap these

swift tinsel
#

I mostly pug and don't get as much uptime bc chainpulling tanks

mighty delta
#

yea i was doing sin in keys but rn im feeling pretty good on sub

lilac stag
#

The finisher heal is better imo

swift tinsel
#

but it does feel quite nice when you get it

mighty delta
#

not the same dmg but not bad

stiff remnant
#

wait can yall clarify if we use black powder on regular 5mob pulls or just nimble flurry

lilac stag
#

You use BP at 18 mobs

uneven scarab
#

Need like 12 mobs for bp to be worth

lilac stag
#

Just press evic

uneven scarab
#

I was close

stiff remnant
#

yeah

uneven scarab
#

yeah evis way better

stiff remnant
#

ty

lilac stag
#

it’s something ridiculous

uneven scarab
vale pine
#

weaponmaster isn't that good

swift tinsel
#

I'll have to look at uptime when I run keys this week but it was feeling like I was only getting it for one in maybe four or five pulls. def not opposed to running it if its still better even with that

thick field
#

are warcraft logs inflated from the bug earlier this patch? sub at the 95th percentile and higher looks really good in logs, but unsure if thats just skewed by bug abusers

hazy breach
#

Its inflated yes, theyve said theyre gonna removed the bugged logs bug shrugeg

vale pine
#

if you see a log with the bug

#

hit the report icon (flag)

#

it helps

thick field
#

where do you feel it really sits then in raid? middle of the pack?

thick field
hazy breach
#

Still pretty good. The bug didnt inflate nearly as much on sub as on outlaw

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

And since were mostly playing trickster, which was unable to bug abuse (you could only do it on deathstalker)

#

Its not that skewed

lilac stag
#

logs gonna be all over as it was a decent gameplay change for the spec

thick field
#

okay gotcha. am i hindering myself by only playing trickster on all fights right now? in wowhead guide some parts say play deathstalker for more throughput

lilac stag
#

This week I think you see more logs closer together.

#

DS maybe princess for defensive

#

But gameplay kinda ass

thick field
#

yeah i'm coming back from dragonflight s1 and the trickster tree and gameplay feels pretty good tbh, i'm enjoying it so far

#

havent tried DS

lilac stag
#

you’ll swap back quick.

thick field
#

hm okay may just not even make the swap then lol

lilac stag
#

The spec still has issues, but quite honestly this is the most fun I’ve had running sub since dfa

#

things feel impactful

thick field
#

i had been playing ww this whole xpac, and while its fun i feel like im capped by the class. i miss on rogue back when i played it where it felt like if you were good you could compete with any class

lilac stag
#

The down time isn’t awful

i feel like i do everything near perfect on ww monk and i'm still struggling to keep up, especially on adds phases if i dont get random procs. sub felt like i had complete control and could top the charts if i played everything perfect

coup lock and other bugs killed it for me at the start

and it was that or mage bc ours quit just before prog

stiff remnant
#

yall still use Void Reaper trinket in keys? feels really lackluster IMO

hazy breach
#

Not really no

#

Its mostly a ST trinket

#

Would suggest something with stats for aoe

alpine wraith
#

mandate for life snipe all the resets you can

#

otherwise ovi nax is mostly the better one if you can get it M

apart from transmitter of course

Mad queen snipers union

topaz raptor
#

the homie is coming back to m+ next week

#

i need a heroic mad queens glock

#

40% of his total damage taken in a run

slate marlin
#

in m+ while playign trickser, when do we use shuriken storm?

topaz raptor
#

i believe it is your multitarget cp generator outside of dance, worse than shadowstrike but better than backstab

slate marlin
#

even while flawless form is active?

wind canopy
#

Yes, the combo point generation is good out of dance

slate marlin
#

aaaah i see

#

i was using backstab for nimble even outside of dance

solar charm
#

!FUU

wicked joltBOT
slate marlin
#

sarcastic nice or was that the correct thing to do?

#

im new to the spec sry

vale pine
#

if you are out of dance

#

and have no flawless form

lilac stag
#

Fuu sarcasm very difficult to read.

vale pine
#

backstab is perfectly fine to use

#

so if you do that, thats advanced optimization

#

and thats nice to attempt when learning

topaz raptor
#

but it's to apply unseen right? not to deal nimble damage with form up

vale pine
slate marlin
#

alright, so backstab outside of flawless form to proc it, and while its active outside of dance storm for more cps

#

makes sense

vale pine
#

you use storm outside of dance most of the time

#

only on very low target counts use backstab

#

and ofc if flawless form drops

slate marlin
#

alright, thanks a lot

#

and whats the difference between shuriken storm, and veiltouched? im not using tornado well and honestly i dont like it

vale pine
#

you mean tornado

slate marlin
#

yes tornado

vale pine
#

tornado is mostly a filler to give you a short burst of finishers/combo points

#

veiltouched is just more damage always

#

a lot of our spells do magic damage

solar charm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
slate marlin
#

ill go veil then, tornado isnt fun to use

vale pine
#

agree, its outdated in design

#

and does not fit that well anymore

slate marlin
#

thanks fuu

#

rly want to learn the spec is way more fun than assa

vale pine
#

it is, but also can be complicated or punishing

slate marlin
#

yep, already realized that

vale pine
thick field
#

i'm having trouble with wowhead talents guides for raid - what fights would you go the enhanced shuriken storm vs lower energy cost in dance? any adds at all? so only sikran/princess?

slate marlin
#

its specaily atrocious when i press shadow blades and realize i didnt use flag

vale pine
#

^ is the no tornado talent setup i tried and liked

slate marlin

yep, searched in this dicord for builds and some tips

thats what im using now

#

@pliant topaz what kind of dps are you doing on pure st in 12+? like grim batol 1st boss

pliant topaz
#

depends on your raid buffs and kill timers

#

as sub maybe like 1.1-1.3 ig

slate marlin
#

also, when i get coup and i dont have symbols or sd up, do i send it or use black powder and save it?

hazy breach
#

Send

#

No BP

topaz raptor
#

as long as your target is fazed right

slate marlin
#

oh i forgot about faze

#

is there a wa to track when its up?

warm aspen
#

but also, if you JUST got coup

#

then the current target is 100% fazed

#

right

slate marlin
#

yes

#

ill add it to plater then

topaz raptor
#

yeah that makes sense, target should always be fazed if you coup immediately

slate marlin
#

its more about getting it at the end of a pull and carrying it over to the next one

warm aspen
#

then we can spread rupture and wait for fazed to proc

swift tinsel
#

^

warm aspen
#

or u can just drop into dance and sectech

#

that's guaranteed fazed too

#

gosh trickster is just SO cool!

static juniper
#

guys, can you give me a quick tldr about the differences between the two hero talents. ( i will read the guides later tonight )

hazy breach
#

Trickster feels good

#

Deathstalker feels bad

swift tinsel
#

based

static juniper
#

good info

slate marlin
#

ruptures applies fazed?

vale pine
#

deathstalker lacks the cdr trickster has

uneven scarab
#

Very based take

static juniper
#

cdr, count me in

warm aspen
#

i swear like messing around a bit on DH where each button is just unrelated and "moar damage on cd"

#

makes trickster feel so sick

#

like how do u even come up with this shit man

topaz raptor
static juniper
swift tinsel
#

Prio damage is very strong for sub

uneven scarab
#

deathstalker in theory has more prio

#

but sub is just a prio spec anyways

static juniper
#

i am once again in the painful process of deciding what to play as an alt. I really want to play sub again as it was so fun last i played in df s1 😄 i know a lot has changed.

uneven scarab
#

Its very good and i think its really fun

topaz raptor
#

play a kultiran boomie

uneven scarab
#

if you feel that way you should play it

static juniper
#

i wanted to play disc, but no kick :X, therefore boomie out of the equation too 😄

swift tinsel
#

having sectec as the cd "anchor" makes it feel fun to play around and adds some flexibility that I enjoy

strange chasm
swift merlin
static juniper
uneven scarab
#

Dont forgot the aoe version can get parried

#

very well designed kekdog

warm aspen
static juniper
#

ok ty for the quick answers, definitely gonna consider sub

swift tinsel
#

its def the kind of spec you want to play around with a bit and get a better feel for it

#

bc the damage does feel really good with more sod and supercharger

swift merlin
#

It's just Essense Break -> Death Sweep is the only interaction? Otherwise just press anything

warm aspen
#

i swear it never got away from the chaos strike faceroll roots on legion

#

just got more buttons to hit

uneven scarab
#

Inertia can be fun or just annoying

swift merlin
#

Button lights up just press it. Whack a mole

uneven scarab
#

ive come to realize

swift merlin
#

It's mostly annoying imo

uneven scarab
#

Yeah

slate marlin
#

another stupid question perhaps, on big pulls, do we rupture everything that doesnt die in miliseconds or we send 2/3 and call it a day?

warm aspen
#

honestly depends on a lot of factors lol

#

if it's a low key even if it's tankier mobs we just send cds right

uneven scarab
#

Rupture does do a bunch of damage but its really only worth on stuff that will live long

warm aspen
#

and if the tank is actually taking some time to gather the mobs u can just rupture while running around right

uneven scarab
#

Like 10 secs of rupture duration roughly

uneven scarab
#

best way to go about it

warm aspen
#

and if it's a high key u can send cds -> rupture in downtime -> send cds again

#

bcuz holy fuck shits are tanky in 12 and above

slate marlin
#

ye between cds im sendin graptures

swift merlin
#

How are you guys even getting into 12s as Sub LUL

#

Genuine question

slate marlin
#

but on 1st pull of nw for example i send 3 and start cds

#

on 11s-12s

warm aspen
#

first pull of NW is a prime example of a big pull that takes a bit to set up tho

#

u can rupture like all the smaller melee stuff that always gets pulled first

slate marlin
#

im always sent to get shield so when i arrive pull is almost grouped already

#

and i prefer to full send fast for gatkeeper

#

but unsure if thats optimal

warm aspen
#

oh i see

#

then yeah it's the logic of high key vs. low key lol

swift merlin
#

NW shield?

#

The first pull?

#

Why isn't the tank picking that up

slate marlin
#

yes, for gatekeeper cast

#

and since theres a mob nearby that no one ever pulls, i sap and take it

swift merlin
#

Tank should just have you sap it and take

slate marlin
#

not needed imo, i just use on first cast

#

and shaman can use link on 2nd

uneven scarab
#

My bdk usually just orbs gatekeeper pull

#

And we blast it

warm aspen
#

yeah ngl i miss when m+ was more about dodging stuff and blasting

#

nowadays it's kinda stat check and all cd planning

hazy breach
#

Not much has changed though

warm aspen
#

i think it's prolly becuz i miss the later parts of df

#

cuz it's a noticable shift in how the dungeons play

sinful sluice
#

Should i just discard transmitter / mad queen combo on m+?

#

So tired of transmitter orb flying out of map or flying over cliffs

uneven scarab
#

Orb sucks

#

But no doubt that

warm aspen
#

transmitter sucks

#

just in general

uneven scarab
#

transmitter is insanely strong compared to anything else

#

but yeah

sinful sluice
#

I mean, its goated on raids

rapid kite
#

Yo bois what's the new rotation / CD rotation as sub nowadays ?

sinful sluice
#

Just so hard to use on m+

rapid kite
#

Do we have a command for that yet ?

vale pine
#

transmitter is the only strong on use trinket

uneven scarab
#

Yeah its pretty much a hard lock in everywhere

vale pine
#

and perfectly fit the 90 sec niche

sinful sluice
#

I should try skardin/arakara egg combo

#

There is way too much situations where you cannot pick up transmitter orb or plate

vale pine
#

!transmitter

wicked joltBOT
#

The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.

warm aspen
#

idk sacbrood sims suuuuuper low for me

vale pine
#

it always spawns at the same position

sinful sluice
#

Yeah i know it spawns on same place

#

But still, if add patterns covers that or of it flies over cliff

#

I just have to let it go

warm aspen
#

i swear 626 ritual knife completely demolishes 639 sacbrood for me

sinful sluice
#

Especially on keys with lots of cliffs

#

Such as arakara

alpine wraith
#

sacbrood is bad for usb

sinful sluice
#

There is no 639 ritual knife right?

#

Since its delve item

warm aspen
#

sadly no

#

but again 626 ritual knife > all 639 m+ trinkets for me

sinful sluice
#

Thats interesting

uneven scarab
#

I need something to replace contract for keys

#

Just havent gotten anything that good

warm aspen
#

ngl tho

#

i kinda wish twin fang instrument was better

#

idk why it sims so pisslow lol

uneven scarab
#

Yeah unfortunately it blows

#

Kinda wish they did another trinket balance patch

warm aspen
#

oh yeah they did do that b4 huh

#

lmao

uneven scarab
#

they did and it changed nothing OMEGAKEKW

#

All the trinkets that got buffed are still bad

#

and the ones that got nerfed are still ran

warm aspen
#

LUL

#

so they basically wasted manpower and energy

sinful sluice
#

How are the trinkets from blackrock raid

warm aspen
#

when they're already in such a rough spot

uneven scarab
warm aspen
#

that they shipped 11.0.5 like this

uneven scarab
#

honestly the stuff from there looks like alt gear

warm aspen
#

it 100% is meant to be an alt raid lmao

#

but idk why it had mechanics that legit like 2shot me on lfr difficulty

#

when im 627 ilvl

sinful sluice
#

I mean i tried that raid

uneven scarab
#

Ive heard its tuned insane though

#

Yeah

warm aspen
#

kinda insane

sinful sluice
#

And it was kinda though

#

If we lack dmg, we simply cannot clear the raid

warm aspen
#

good thing exactly 0 items are usable from there

uneven scarab
#

Yeah theres really nothing great

#

Sadge

warm aspen
#

sucky tier in general tbh

#

item wise

#

only strong thing for us is a really unpleasant trinket

#

from uber late into the raid

sinful sluice
#

I hope they nerf skardin a bit and change its duration to 1:30

#

Ultimate transmitter skardin combo

warm aspen
#

i miss having viable "super rare" trinket from the 3rd boss of the raid lmao

i'm looking at logs, how can yo utell if they bug abused? on raid it looks like for sub theres like 1-3 people just 200k+ above the rest of people

on most fights

you just check for sub if they got more than 50 energy with relentless

and if they are deathstalker

someone have found how to track supercharger other than just counting to 2 after sod?

bcuz im at the point in my life where i find out old high school friends are getting married thru facebook and i silently wish them the best without even hitting them up again

alpine wraith
#

there are supercharged auras

woeful egret
#

I still double use them sometimes, I must button mash too much

#

it only does it in my swifty macro, I guess I'll have to not be lazy and press ALL these buttons independently

amber thorn
#

do we ever use blackpowder with flawless up on any number of targets?

real panther
woeful egret
#

isn't it like 8+?

alpine wraith
#

nope

woeful egret
#

good, cuz I never put it back on my bars lol

it is a very big number like 12+

Don’t play it.

#

Fuck it

woeful egret

and the thing is, when you ARE getting 12+ targets, aren't some of them always gonna be like non-elite squishy trash

slate marlin
#

its trash ability zac

warm aspen
#

those aren't worth padding on right

lilac stag
#

Zac it’s legit just a filler to get cds back

leaden prairie
#

ok

uneven scarab
#

its either you use it to spread rupture or get a bit of cdr back yeah

woeful egret
#

I will admit, when I'm out of dance I do spam SS and BP to get dance charges back very lazily

uneven scarab
#

Veil touched better

warm aspen
woeful egret
#

then backstab every once in a while, it's not optimal, but I'm a flawed hooman

warm aspen
#

that make shuriken less garbage

where can i learn sub .

#

target dummies

woeful egret
#

my dumb ass learned it in arena, don't be me

real panther
#

Ok so if anyone care, there is a "charged combo points" codition type in the Power trigger on weak auras now

tight bloom
#

Is backstab during SB and SD still a thing ?

woeful egret
#

I never noticed how bad the dmg of shuriken was until I tried to kill something with it

#

I knew it was bad, just not that bad

uneven scarab
#

we dont really care about macabre stacks anymore

tight bloom
#

Thank you for your answer 🙂

lilac stag
#

You’re just trying to get sectech off cd asap

woeful egret
#

diesn't it make 1st evis during dance super juicy though?

#

since we are secteching first?

uneven scarab
#

Yeah the name of the game is st immediately after dance and get as much cdr as possible on it fast

#

i mean st first just makes all the evisc’s after really juiced up yeah

woeful egret
#

pretty much just wanna sectec every symbols for them supercharged stacks

can you just use the m+ build in raid? I don't ever have energy issues when dancing.

#

is it a higher sim or something? I usually run in m+ switching tornado for to veiltouched anyways

pliant topaz
#

M+ and pure single target builds are basically the same for trickster. I doubt anyone realistically takes tornado over vt, and SF is just a meme talent

woeful egret
#

ok cool, cuz in my mind shuriken would bring more value building cps outside of dance in alot of situations

#

it critting more often is more cdr. thanks

pliant topaz
#

Imma be honest pretty sure it’s less overall to take it

swift tinsel
#

nado?

sly shore

#

nado isn't too bad, it feels cool when it works but the combo points allocate at different cadence it feels like and I end up munching too many combo points to feel happy about pressing it in some situations

PvP rings are still really good if you proc the bloodstone

I'm sad there's no "Gold earned from work orders" statistic

spark tusk
#

I've still been able to bulk up, that graph is just liquid, doesn't have assets, I have done at least a bit of preparing for next reset again but rank3 gems all dropped so they're barely profitable anymore

#

not my biggest haul

#

Just hoping that rank 3s go up again after reset

#

and we'll be back, rank2s have been slowly climbing

I think we're hitting a point where a lot of people can produce them too, even with the changes to materials.

the uncut gems are also climbing slowly

ngl tho no gold earning method is quite as fun as boosting keys lol, legit getting paid to crush low level content, just fly thru the thing like ur playing diablo3

During pull how do we send our 2nd burst window? Like full cp -> flag -> rupture -> shadowblades+dance+sod+sectech?

Or do we delay sblades like in opener?

Awesome, that's really good.

Oh, very nice.

spark tusk
#

I barely use the gear one

At least it's not alchemy levels of KP required....

that shit is brutal

keen dome
#

I just sit in the city when not actively playing WoW, send my macro out every 10 minutes. Make items as I get 'em. Also watching trade for people looking for crafts.

#

I'm sad marbled stone and crushed gemstones have collapsed as a market though

spark tusk
#

uh yeah those were a part of my process

keen dome
#

Typically I was getting 2 - 5k tips, then proccing resourcefulness for 3 - 5k mats lol

I have a whole thing going

it's all locked to price of bismuth

but marbled collapsed

because obv it would with stone collapsing

#

I've been slowly sorting a BS out to make Sanctified, but I need to actually cost it sometime and see how many multicraft procs, etc, I need to hit to make it worthwhile.

swift tinsel
#

now that farm is mostly over for us I usually spend an hour a day farming herb/ore with truesight and stockpile r3 consumes for next tier

spark tusk
#

Unfortunately commoditites are tied to the typical market forces

#

e.g. tendency for rate of profit to fall

keen dome
#

Yep

spark tusk
#

so

swift tinsel
#

unless they announce better pots/flasks/etc it usually nets a pretty huge profit

spark tusk
#

By this point unless you are deep into a tree

#

you're going to be crafting at a loss

keen dome
#

It's why I vastly prefer gear crafting. Sitting idle, just making gold for push button.

spark tusk
#

because everyone who is meeting supply/demand at this time is able to craft at better margins than you, and they can sustain very small margins that you can't

keen dome
#

That was my worry, yeah

spark tusk
#

which is why any commodity market I'm in I'm in deep to stay caught up

#

but getting into it now wouldn't be feasible

Hi, quick question regarding Trickster in M+
If I don't have 2 flawless form, I use Black Powder, and it I have 2+ stacks I funnel Evi on prio and keep Rupture rolling on target?

I gave up on all of that after missing a good amount of time early on

#

you lost gold because the prices dropped

thick field
#

but you almost never press black powder

spark tusk
#

it went down that fast

plush garden
