strange chasm
#

120mil did you spend any on the new mount?

#

Is that the tiny dip at the top

spark tusk
#

I don't have 120M to be clear, that's overall revenues not profit

#

I've spent a shitload

#

and yeah

#

I spent 1.2M on the mount

lilac stag
#

enchanting dust was good steady income until people found an exploit

spark tusk
#

it like went down to half over the last week

#

from what it was

#

I feel like

lilac stag
#

It crashed hard about 3 weeks ago. Then again last week.

#

Ideally you BS to get flawless back up

thick field
swift tinsel
#

you do

thick field
#

oh wait i'm dumb i read BS as black powder for some reason

lilac stag
#

don’t push that button. Like ever

thick field
#

yeah so you bs to get flawless, but if youre capped out on combo points and dont have flawless up against over 1 target you black powder, right?

#

thats what the guide says

lilac stag
#

I’d be more inclined to rupture something

swift tinsel
#

can always throw out a rupture too depending

#

ye

plush garden
#

why is black powder still a thing weirdge

thick field
#

if all targets have rupture, would it make sense to just keep bs and eating combo points until you get flawless, then evisc?

#

or just send the bp?

swift tinsel
#

personally I'd probably evisc a prio target if you aren't gonna rupture

lilac stag
#

In that case you’re probably BPing. Likely not the case as something should be coming back up (ST/sod)

swift tinsel
#

if you don't have coup

thick field
#

okay gotcha

swift tinsel
#

get saucy with a Kidney

lilac stag
#

We aren’t spreading rupture nearly as much so the chance to spread more is good. Or cc something.

#

BP is a wet noodle on trickster

#

You have options

thick field
#

yeah in m+ we kinda just send like 2 casts of rupture on 4 targets total and then go into burst yeah? or are you rupturing all targets OR ust going straight into burst?

swift tinsel
#

which is super neat

#

depends on how long the pull is gonna last

alpine wraith
#

at the beginning you go insta on cds

#

because you have charger

#

so you strike flag dance blast while activating transmitter

thick field
#

charger is from symbols yeah? so you dont spread rupture then pop symbols/cds for charger?

alpine wraith
#

you symbols before m+ begins

#

so you have 2 charger

thick field
#

you mean like before you even put in the key?

alpine wraith
#

yes

thick field
#

sure that makes sense, i mean more like in the middle of the dungeon between packs

#

with no charger already stacked

alpine wraith
#

yea you strike rupture storm rupture

thick field
#

okay yeah makes sense thank you

alpine wraith
#

then go into cds

smoky aspen
#

does the sim take into account the 2 supercharger combo points you can get pre pull?

viral phoenix
hazy breach
#

Not by default that is

plush garden
#

forgot i had pickpocket macro'd to my kidney/cheapshot macro
turned into a giant beetle mid pull

lilac stag
thick field
#

ah fair getting sectech on cd also makes sense

lilac stag
#

I think there’s def some learning the pulls kinda priority

lilac stag
#

the other dps will def impact choices

warm aspen
#

i love baiting my tank's CDs with that

#

make them think someone pulled xD

plush garden
vale pine
#

happens

plush garden
#

at least it's "almost", still got loot and timed it

vestal escarp
#

stunning secret

oblique mauve
#

Does sub do more boss dmg than sin? I've been proggin brood as sin but they want to squeeze out more boss dmg since we have enough aoe/cleave for adds.

warm aspen
#

so when sin optimizes for aoe we do more st than them

#

but idk if sin plays full m+ build on brood lol

#

im beeg stoopid

viral phoenix
#

for brood in particular doesnt sin end up doing more boss damage with their prio/funnel

oblique mauve
viral phoenix
#

or does sub get similar value

pliant topaz
remote shard
#

no way to do mage tower without soothing darkness now

#

gg

warm aspen
#

is ds even still a thing? esp on cleave/aoe?

pliant topaz
#

there are logs of both kills right now too. the DS kill does abuse the trickster bug though.

#

from my experience trickster does more damage

#

is more fun

#

and less cringe

warm aspen
#

yeah i swear playing ds now is just

#

derp

idle aurora
#

Good lord I really want to try to get into sub rogue but the rotational barrier to entry is frying my eyeballs and brain

vale pine
#

but i agree

#

deathstalker is not well designed

warm aspen
#

sub is now a 12121212 spec

vale pine
warm aspen
#

just with slightly more buff cooldowns to manage

hazy breach
#

1000% isnt

#

But ye

idle aurora
#

I mean the rotational priority list reads like a math problem

vale pine
#

i mean he is correct

#

if you remove all abilities you use

pliant topaz
vale pine
#

and cooldowns

#

outside of 2

#

then its a 2 button class

warm aspen
lilac stag
idle aurora
#

Is that really what it is outside of the cooldowns?

warm aspen
#

like a slaps roof of car moment

idle aurora
#

Maybe I need to focus on stuff one thing t a time

warm aspen
#

it's actually 121212 INSIDE of cooldowns lmfao

#

almost always strike-finish

vale pine
#

but its like

idle aurora
#

lol I even tried downloading hekili to see if the rotational helper would give me a feel on dummies and it kept telling me to use a button I couldn’t even use lol

vale pine
#

saying any spec has only 2 buttons

lilac stag
#

Hope you’re paying attention to your cp refunds and not striking over them with your 121212 kekdog

vale pine
#

if you have no cd's up

#

or less

keen dome

mb mb mb

#

big sad now, sectech is the giga dopamine button

pliant topaz
#

this shit is the most frustrating thing ive ever had to play with

soft summit
warm aspen
#

but yeah it's so fking weird

narrow dirge
#

is sub viable for low keys or is sin just way better? kinda hate playing sin tbh

warm aspen
keen dome
#

When you say low keys, what do you mean 'cos it can mean different things to diffetent people 🙂

vale pine
#

and storm if you have more targets

meager coyote
#

what happened to bloodmallet 💀

lilac stag
lilac stag
#

No talents

#

Enjoy

idle aurora
#

Sorry can I compound on what your saying as a newbie question lol so outside of cooldowns it’s evis to get snd running rupture then rupture again to spread then black powder?

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

it gets better on 13/14s

grave abyss
soft summit
#

What do sub rogues bring to a high level mythic?

No hero. No. Brez. No Iron wire. No aoe stun etc

keen dome

Absolutely fine if you enjoy playing it then, ye.

vale pine

#

Premeditation works only for stealth right

vale pine
#

so soon™️

#

but also

remote shard
#

not dance

#

Like Armin said, stuff dies fast, so you can feel like you wasted some buttons. But you get to blow bosses up pretty quickly.

viral phoenix
#

HOORAH

idle aurora
#

Never changing

warm aspen
#

and then, out of dance, ur rly just doing everything u can to maintain ruptures and get dance back

#

u can spam some evisc but it ain't gonna do dmg

idle aurora
#

Seriously lol the rotational helper made me use it like 45 times in a row lol

#

Ok that’s good to know

warm aspen
#

yeah sub is now basically cooler outlaw

#

u just cleave

#

flurry baby

#

so toss bp into the fking bin

#

and then basically ur playing around the "fazed" shit from hero talent

#

basically, u debuff enemy(they get crit more), buff yourself(with finisher damage + flurry), and also gets a stack a super-duper-high-damage-but-dash-you-into-mechanics evisc

idle aurora
#

Then double rupture to apply and spread?

vale pine
#

assassiantion has nimble

warm aspen
idle aurora
#

It’s the burst windows does it all take place at once always? And do I bind like 9 abilities to three hot keys?

vale pine
#

i mean you can similarly compare other things that ended up unique for one spec but are now shared

#

e.g. mobility of sub with double shadowstep

#

or the more burst oriented damage profile

idle aurora
#

Sorry I’m horribly adhd and I’m reading the guides but the guides are sometimes overly technical

vale pine
#

or cooldown stacking ^^

idle aurora
#

Md my brain goes fuzzy

warm aspen
#

but @idle aurora rupture is sorta its own thing, u never use it during shadow dance, and only use it on things that live for 10+ seconds, don't worry about it too much

#

what you wanna focus on is just cd timing

#

opener is big tbh, super comfortable

idle aurora
#

Ok so sit on dummies for an hour until opener is muscle memory

#

I can do that

warm aspen
#

yeah ngl the current rotation feels mostly derivative from opener lol

vale pine
#

it is similar

idle aurora
#

Then practice cooldown windows?

warm aspen
#

just get a feel of when each thing comes up

idle aurora
#

Every guide has different macros with different amounts of abilities on them lol

warm aspen
#

oh for macros

idle aurora
#

That’s what’s confusing the hell out of me

warm aspen
#

the only one you need is cold blood + secret techniques

idle aurora
#

Ty btw ❤️

warm aspen
#

but symbols is kinda better as its own bind

narrow dirge
#

Symbols macro with dance is not good?

warm aspen
#

but yeah if u just smack a dummy, backstack evisc/rupture out of dance, and replicate the shadow dance combo from opener, you'll be on your way

spark tusk
#

No, there are times when you will symbols and not dance.

warm aspen
#

smaller optimizations can come later

warm aspen
#

like dance is 10 seconds out, but sectech + symbols are already up and checking their watches VERY impatiently

spark tusk
#

I don't know the answer to that.

warm aspen
#

oh, are we allowed to @ mods or "shadowblades" for questions lol

#

i dont think i saw in rules :((

spark tusk
#

You're allowed to ping but they aren't the only ones that can answer questions. I know it's a bit quiet right now

warm aspen
#

but yeah basically @narrow dirge there are times where i'll send the first supercharged finisher out of dance just to get the next set of small burst rolling sooner

#

and then if i have dance and symbols macro'ed i pop an extra symbol charge and screw myself for the rest of the fight

idle aurora
#

Oh hey Lisonna I think I was just looking at a weak aura from you lol

spark tusk
#

Possibly

clever delta
#

imagine if sub catch up after assa nerf

#

that would be something

idle aurora
#

Your recommended on method

warm aspen
#

i dont wanna end up like ele xDDD

spark tusk
idle aurora
#

Yeah

#

Under weakaura it says search for lisonna and use any of those with like three others

warm aspen
#

but see what's more cool is that on this server u legit just get to talk to the ppl who made the recommended WAs

keen dome
#

They are very good weakauras

warm aspen
#

and the guys who actually wrote the guides

#

like holy shit

spark tusk
warm aspen
#

it's like im living among celebrities in beverly hills!

narrow dirge
alpine wraith
#

yea SoD is not something i would macro

idle aurora
#

Yeah icyveins has a bunch of juiced up macros. Wow head slightly less, method way less

narrow dirge
#

Been raiding for the past few weeks with this jank 1 button macro ugh

keen dome
#

1 button macro?

warm aspen
grave abyss
#

so you're saying I shouldn't have a shadowdance + symbols + cold blood + tea + trinkets + shadow blades + flag macro?

idle aurora
#

I knew a guy who had like a seven button cast sequence as a macro one lol

#

It was called opener

spark tusk
#

isn't that a palimor thing?

warm aspen
#

xD

keen dome
#

Also, for what it's worth: I do use a macro with Dance + Symbols. It is absolutely sub-optimal, you still want both bound, and it's def ideal to play with them as independent buttons. But if don't mind, it's pretty comfy.

narrow dirge
warm aspen
#

it's something u'll sometimes have to play around

#

BUT

#

blades HAS to be its own thing now

#

or at least it goes with trinket + pot

#

not dance

#

u wanna dance, build, send sectech/coup, THEN blades

idle aurora
#

So should I learn as one button

warm aspen
#

PLS NO

idle aurora
#

Or try to learn as separate

warm aspen
keen dome
idle aurora
#

Hahahaha

keen dome
idle aurora
#

But for the record no black powder on bar

#

Even though hekili had me use it 40 times in a row

#

lol

warm aspen
#

yeah ngl bp is just cursed for trickster

keen dome
#

I would not recommend using hekili for Sub. It is not very good with it.

warm aspen
#

it slams for deathstalker

#

but then deathstalker overall is cursed

#

SO cursed

viral phoenix
#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

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

idle aurora
#

Ugh I think I picked death stalker lol

warm aspen
#

NOOOOO

idle aurora
#

Ok that needs to change lol

warm aspen
#

there's literally a guy named "poopstalker" in here somehwere lol

#

it's REALLY not fun

idle aurora
#

XD

hazy breach
#

It was alright on ST before the patch

warm aspen
#

oh yeah it was chill

hazy breach
#

But with the patch you end up needing the 10% sectech cdr from trickster for the burst window to feel good

warm aspen
#

sit back, run rotations, let hunt them down do like twice as much dmg as entire trickster tree combined

hazy breach
#

Because as deathstalker you either have to delay your symbols or have 2nd sectech not affected by supercharger

#

Neither of which feel particularly fun

warm aspen
#

i swear it also gets gimped in heavy movement fights too

idle aurora
#

Ok so trickster better for alignment reasons?

warm aspen
#

like when u dont get to white attack a bunch

tawdry kiln
hazy breach
#

And on any aoe deathstalker feels not great because needing to eviscerate to apply mark doesnt feel great

#

Despite the eviscerate being buffed enough to actually do more damage than BP at low target count, it still feels bad

tame terrace
idle aurora
#

Oddly sub rogue feels like the meele version of a fire mage now that I am thinking about it

tawdry kiln
hazy breach
#

Well fire has had a lot of variation

warm aspen
hazy breach
#

But yes sub does no damage outside of cds

warm aspen
#

raid?

tawdry kiln
#

yeah ovinax around P2

warm aspen
#

heroic right

tawdry kiln
#

yup

warm aspen
#

thank fuck

#

if ppl pulled those numbers and got to mythic ovinax i think i just unsub on the spot

spark tusk
warm aspen
#

@idle aurora but also also deathstalker feels like straight ass when you have to kill any adds

#

like SV totem

#

grim butthole 3rd boss

spark tusk
#

I've been in mythic raid pugs where the raid leader was shit on damage but like, they were actually calling lots of stuff on comms and without them doing calls we wouldn't have killed the bosses we did

keen dome
#

Raid leading is a big decrease to DPS a lot of the time, ye

#

I do like, 400k less DPS when I'm leading my weekly heroics to when I'm just blasting 'cos I have to stop to type and need to constantly be watching the group.

tawdry kiln
#

nah the raid lead was a guy pinging eggs HOLY

covert apex
#

Did they just ruin the first dance?

keen dome
#

Is it the comedy Ovi'nax where people can't count

covert apex
#

Out of combat for 6 seconds? Wtf is that shit?

tame terrace
#

i raid lead as outlaw on p3 queen and am still top dam

covert apex
#

So basically you get 4 sec longer on dance for the pull?

#

And then nowhere else

tame terrace
#

idk those raid leaders just suck

spark tusk
warm aspen
spark tusk
#

It is mostly a pvp talent

warm aspen
#

or even db tbh

spark tusk
#

or niche cases in keys

#

It is certainly a weird talent to be clear

warm aspen
#

it seems like a pvp thing tbh

ornate current
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

It's really nice in keys.

covert apex
#

Couldn't they just make it so when you enter stealth or shadow dance it fills your combo points? Why even change this talent

keen dome
#

It's a pretty good talent for key / open world content. Not useful in the raid. And yes, I imagine pretty great in PvP too.

warm aspen
#

they did it to spite u

#

trust

#

👍

spark tusk
#

with less steps

warm aspen
#

imagine u enter dance and instantly get 2 finishers worth of cp for free

#

and then shadowcraft(if it works)

#

we go from 131212 to just 3222222 xD

keen dome
#

That's a lot of ruptures.

tepid trellis
covert apex
#

Then change the proc condition for first dance from 6 sec out of stealth to something else, like after x finishers

warm aspen
#

nah it'd be a goated fking m+ talent if they just reduced the time a bit

#

like 4 seconds

#

and holy shit we'd be eating every other spec alive

covert apex
#

Why keep the weird proc condition when you can make a better one

warm aspen
#

bcuz it's actually pretty natural wth the flow of m+ lol

covert apex
#

Good for m+, what about everything else

#

They can keep the same exact thing, with a better proc condition

warm aspen
#

i mean the existence of a m+ specialist node isn't a cardinal sin right

#

so long as we had good raid/st alternatives too

covert apex
#

Something literally not working in other content is indeed a problem

warm aspen
#

idk does IC work in raid for sin

keen dome
#

But not every talent has to be useful in every circumstance. I think it working well in M+, and that being it, is fine.

covert apex
#

And again, if they just change the proc condition they can achieve the same result with more versatility

keen dome
#

Because you can use that point in something else in raid content.

warm aspen
#

does sudden demise work in raids either lol

topaz raptor
#

Yeah you change your talents if your talents don’t work with the content

warm aspen
#

how about u go to sin channel and tell them blizz should delete IC and demise

#

xD

#

bcuz those dont work well in raids

real panther
#

tww s1 things dont change at all... i'm tired of this bullshit

wind harness
#

xdd

sly shore
#

did an 11 mists

#

did 1.9M overall

#

sub is okay

warm aspen
#

ayy like this

sly shore
real panther
#

acording to "experts" its not ok

sly shore
#

assa will do more

#

easily

#

sub better on first boss though

warm aspen
#

oh yeah my sin bro was like 1.7/1.8 mil on like

#

3rd week of m+

#

but they're actually getting weaker and weaker in overall

#

a TEENY tiny bit at a time tho right

real panther
#

do you play tornado guys?

warm aspen
#

fuck no

sly shore
#

no

warm aspen
#

i like how we have a "no dust" role here

real panther
#

ok cause on the fuu doc its tornado in the spec so I was wondering

warm aspen
#

and i want a "no tornado" one for myself

leaden prairie
clever delta
#

what build you play kpb i was checking logs and even tho thjere is sub 15 logs they do no dmg compared to their team mates

#

and most i see playing nado

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
topaz raptor
#

Yeah i think casual and kush were messing around with tornado whenever i saw them on sub

#

Should be pretty close either way

:DDDD

leaden prairie
topaz raptor
#

must have been bad RNG

leaden prairie
#

surely Clueless

warm aspen
#

yeah skill issue tbh, just roll 7 buffs next time with an extra hidden buff to remove target cap

leaden prairie
#

i could have rolled 7 buffs pre key but they removed that

uneven scarab
#

No cap outlaw op should prob nerf more

warm aspen
#

BtE now only targets yourself

#

irl

#

god if my legion self could see outlaw now

#

feels fucking bad man

sly shore
warm aspen
#

tbf it's an 11, there aint even that much dmg to do lol

hoary moat
#

are the bloodmallet sims broken?

idle aurora
#

So does eviscerate cleave?

#

Reading rotation again :/

#

Is finisher always Evisc unless rupture needs reapply?

warm aspen
#

yup

#

evisc shadow strike backstab all cleave

#

due to flawless form + nimble flurry

idle aurora
#

And always 2 ruptures to spread?

#

Then back to evisc

warm aspen
#

there's no set number of ruptures u gotta cast lol

#

there's no point in eviscerating out of dance basically

#

u just use it when u got nothing worth rupturing anymore as a way to dump cp

idle aurora
#

Then what should I be doing?

#

Oh rly?

warm aspen
#

yeah

#

we do half the damage of tanks

#

out of dance

#

xD

idle aurora
#

Does rupture snapshot?

warm aspen
#

nope

#

u just get it out, and it starts doing more dmg when u go into ur buffs

idle aurora
#

So do you use it at all

#

Woah really?

warm aspen
#

that's why u rupture lol

idle aurora
#

Holy crap

warm aspen
#

u leave it up, and it naturally starts doing more dmg whne u pop dance and symbols and stuff

#

but then it also goes back down

#

after ur dance + symbols ends

#

right

#

dynamic dmg

idle aurora
#

:0

#

So when you go into burst window it goes into burst window with you??

#

Ok that solves that problem in my head lol

#

Lol that was for my guild discord describing me in this discord sorry lol

warm aspen
#

ayy ez

#

and again rupture is just

#

if it lives more than 10 secons slap a rupture onto it

bronze hatch
#

Yeah don’t spend a lot of brain power on “should I shadow dance or flag for rupture”
Just get a rupture out

cinder axle
#

In the ST Rotation they use Dance + Symbole - Shadow strike - Coldblood + secret Techniqe -Shadowblades

#

why dont we use shadowblades with dance?

#

I dont understand why we dont want the 20% buff from Shadowblades for our first techniqe with cold blood xD

bronze hatch
#

We use it with Flag

warm aspen
#

blades doesnt work for sectech

#

xD

uneven scarab
bronze hatch
#

Echo in here

cinder axle
#

Ohhhh

#

ok

#

ok then it makes sense because we can use the 16 sec window for the eviserate and stuff

bronze hatch
#

I don’t think it’s that much of a loss if you forget, just one GCD or so that could’ve been full combo points

cinder axle
#

y think so too i macrod the 3 cds together

#

but i was wondering if i missing some big crit or somethin^^

bronze hatch
#

We have some wiggle room with flag and new blades now as to when to Blades

#

Always blades with flag

cinder axle
#

Used to play assa but wanted to swap to sub and its rly fun but i got no verse at all xD

bronze hatch
#

Same, stack mastery, profit
Vers is just the least useless of the other three, lol
If it comes yay, it’s better than Haste at least

cinder axle
#

Rly? If I sim my char its the best stat

bronze hatch
#

I guess crit is better now than during Invigorating Shadowdust era but Idk how much

bronze hatch
grave abyss
bronze hatch
#

Ahh

cinder axle
uneven scarab
#

vers is highest damn in st for sub

#

mastery rlly close but also gets value in aoe

warm aspen
#

does versa buff nimble flurry cleave lol

uneven scarab
#

not sure but id guess yea

still quartz
#

vers makes you tankier 👌

uneven scarab
#

Also true

#

Big W

cinder axle
#

y i wanna go for 17k too

#

cause i cant use def cds every second like assa cause of 100 energy

you mean no gcd for feint?

Damn I missed that, pog

near rivet
#

oh boy

#

its so easy to do dmg on court as a sub

#

stuff lines up with amps without even trying

tepid trellis
#

yeah you just wont be able to hit as many of them as you could with shadowdust, but its still quite good

near rivet
#

with shadowdust, what things could you also cover?

#

p2 second amp?

tepid trellis
#

yes

near rivet
#

its a ramped up dmg taken one

#

i see

tacit yacht
#

There's a symbol charge and sectec is ready or will be ready, but no dance. Wait for dance or send it?

half comet
#

are we symbols before pull?

tepid trellis
near rivet
#

hmm

#

the plan is to nuke the boss down

#

before last ramps happen

#

some guilds lust p2 amp

tepid trellis
#

Yeah then you just gotta pick the one amp where they are stacked in p3

#

if you wanna skip the enrage one in p3

yeah, will see

why is the challenger's peril change so complicated

#

just nerf the affix from 15 to 10 seconds

steel horizon
#

lol thats too hard for them

#

i agree its a weird way of going about it

tribal blade
#

this just makes every dungeon have 90 seconds more on the timer, and the affix is literally the exact same amount of punishing

steel horizon
#

well you essentially have 6 "free" deaths now lol

tribal blade
#

not really

steel horizon
#

that was their goal anyway

tribal blade
#

90 seconds more on the timer is the "new timer"

#

and then deaths are exactly the same

#

at least that's the way i see it

balmy notch
#

hi quick question if raiding at all is not an option, can i play sub without transmitter or do i just give up and go assa?

#

i mean for ~2900 m+ not anything too serious

steel horizon
#

they just wanted to nerf +7's and above and that was the way they did it

wide shoal
#

Guys, need some opinions here, how does sub feel in m+ and raid?
Just started gearing my rogue and kinda went with outlaw, but i cba im sub at heart

balmy notch
#

you can play subtlaw if you play trickster, its sub but with blade flurry

clever delta
#

will be funny

#

if next tier dont have 90s trinket for us

tribal blade
clever delta
#

will be hilarious actually

#

cant wait

#

we get two 2min ones and alter them

tribal blade
#

oh my god fucking cursed gameplay again

#

like that

gritty knot
#

wait what did they do with the timer?

#

did I miss smth

steel horizon
#

all 7's and ups got 90s added to the timer

#

as weird kind of way to nerf challengers peril

gritty knot
#

thats weird indeed...

Poor tornado, how pain in the ass

its filler anyway. you dont wanna use it during dance

bronze hatch
#

I keep trying tornado and i never come up with a time using it doesn't feel awkward af

steel horizon
#

just use it right after dance ends so you still have some stacks of FF

has anyone had the issue where the macro /cast Shadow Dance /cast Shadowstrike doesn't work? It gives me an error the first time i hit the hotkey that i'm not in stealth, and then if I press the key again now that i'm in shadow dance, i'll shadowstrike. Is there any better way to be able to activate shadow dance and shadowstrike in the same GCD with one key?

hazy breach
#

But id probably still recommend to use cloak during the last few seconds of the intermission to help minimize movement with blazes

do you have the filter to see whos doing what healing for queensbane?

I mean using the cloak on queensbane is fine too

ye i always cloaked queensbane

#

regicides was always sorta whatever

#

press feint or something

hazy breach

Its mostly for other people rather than yourself

But ye

#

Struggling with the new rotation. From fuu's wowhead guide I'm reading it as basically send SoD on CD and then line everything up to that? Or is there a new cadence that we should aim for? It seems like we still send a naked SoD between main CDs? The only other change that I'm seeing is that we now send SecTech in SoD even without Dance?

hazy breach
#

You do not really send symbols on cd, you want to make sure you can symbols and dice twice during blades/flag

#

And then its just a question of how much you do inbetween those, and i'd recommend trying to mentally anchor it around sectech cds

#

So whenever sectech is up you want to press it asap, and you ask yourself "if i press dance right now with the symbols, will i still have 2 for cds?" and the same with symbols

#

I tried explaining some examples as well, but for the most part as long as you have 2 stacks of both for flag and blades is doesnt matter a huge deal wherever you put your other ones

#

What's the command that shows you the gear tracks and their M+ level?

pulsar quarry
#

Thank you for this write up. I'll review it and practice. I seem to be 40-50k behind my target dummy sim which feels like more than just your normal discrepancy

the fix we been waiting for!!

#

RS bug is now a feature

warm aspen
#

ngl tho

#

i AM rly surprised by how well sub plays in keys now

#

baller reworks

steel horizon
#

way nicer for sure

half comet
#

what made it better in m+

#

more symbols for the extra dances u get?

warm aspen
#

yeah more symbols

#

like the small downtime between packs make it so ur almost perma in symbols

spark tusk
#

@west pond https://wago.io/nyidlKqRB FYI - Per request the Dance/Symbols charges at Flag WA. Feel free to send me feedback, right now there's no text colors yet or anything but I have pushed up the dance/symbols charges into Conditions so you can add them if you want.

The idea here is to help you determine if you should send a dance/symbols with sectec when sectec comes up, based on how many you'll have at flag.

Cooldown and buff tracker for Flagellation Has two extra texts which show the predicted charges that you will have of D

#

Added it to the collections page

#

Also comes with my pack as is so if you use my pack you'll just get it baked in

still sundial
#

strange chasm
spark tusk
#

It doesn't require my pack, it's also included in my pack

#

it's a standalone, will work with or without it

strange chasm
#

I'm always scared to update weak auras

#

Since I've removed alot from yours

spark tusk
#

I have it placed in a specific location so it's next to sectec in the pack because the decision is kind of a joint one between flag and sectec

#

but

#

you can put it wherever you want

spark tusk
#

But in general my auras are as standalone as I can make them

#

and don't rely on or require each other

tame terrace
#

i thought ele was busted

#

ok sub feels so much better in keys now

pliant topaz
#

its pretty fun

warm aspen
#

hi guys, are we allowed to doom in here

tame terrace
#

we dont send naked symbols anymore right?

warm aspen
#

becuz im looking thru old dungeons for trinkets and im not seeing any 1:30 burst trinkets that aren't haste lol

tame terrace
#

we just line everythign up with sectech/big cds?

warm aspen
#

are we just never gonna have usable trinkets out of m+ lol

tame terrace
#

if they bring back court again for some reason we get this

pliant topaz
#

so maybe they make those trinkets strength/agi now who knows

warm aspen
#

it simmed like shit

warm aspen
#

im seeing the trinkets of my ret friends

tame terrace
#

oh right 1.5 min

warm aspen
#

and im just drooling

#

nah whetstone is just not actually THAT great overall

pliant topaz
#

peeposhrug transmitter fucks

warm aspen
#

no main stat so..

tame terrace
#

no i just remembered u said 1.5 min trinkets

#

i forgot to look through shit for that

#

lol

warm aspen
#

well also

#

i had a vault whetstone back then

#

it simmed lower than a fking darkmoon deck trinket lmao

#

please bring back crafted darkmoon trinkets tbh

#

alchemist stone asssssss

pliant topaz
#

its actually better

warm aspen
pliant topaz
#

trinkets are tuned to be about the same power.

#

if the trinket has stats attached to it

#

and an on use, the on use will be weaker

warm aspen
#

ohhhh i see

pliant topaz
#

but if it has no stats attached, the on use will compenstate and be very strong

#

whichis what we want

warm aspen
#

yup

#

but then this one's on use...idk

#

i think we can only use things that scale our kit right

#

not things that do its own damage unless it's some insane shit like mandate?

pliant topaz
#

depends

#

generally, we really want on use stat trinkets (like transmitter)

#

somtimes, there are strong stat sticks that could be okay. but other times, we dont mind damage proc trinkets (like the ones we use now : mandate/contract)

flint umbra
#

dang im having some energy issues

tame terrace
#

this one from sm i guess

flint umbra
#

outside of cds im having to wait like 4 seconds between abilities

#

is it supposed to be this shit?

pliant topaz
#

yes

flint umbra
#

how is that fun?

pliant topaz
#

!design

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
#

why is it this bad though?

spark tusk
#

Because contrast

pliant topaz
#

^

warm aspen
flint umbra
#

other burst specs dont have it this bad

pliant topaz
#

the worse u feel outside, the better u can feel inside

pliant topaz
flint umbra
#

its very unfun having to sit there and watch your character auto attack

flint umbra
pliant topaz
#

okay

flint umbra
#

dh bursts harder lol

warm aspen
hazy breach
pliant topaz
#

no it doesnt

warm aspen
pliant topaz
#

and also thats a 2 min cd

#

vs 1.5 min cd

tame terrace
#

making energy matter is interesting, instead of having another spec that just doesnt have an acutal resource

flint umbra
#

ok they def do at least in aoe

flint umbra
#

but yeah just sitting there for an entire 40 seconds is rough

#

theres no working around that?

wind canopy
#

Huh?

hazy breach
#

Well ye our main cd blades doesnt work on aoe Cheesin

warm aspen
#

uhhhhhhhh

pliant topaz
#

LMFAO

warm aspen
#

aren't we sitting there more like

#

15 seconds

warm aspen
#

between each dance

#

in m+ combat

flint umbra
#

nimble flurry things

pliant topaz
#

if blades worked with sectech or nimble

hazy breach
#

But no, you have downtime where you dont do much

pliant topaz
#

you would notice it in aoe

flint umbra
hazy breach
#

Thats the intentional design of the spec shrugeg

hazy breach
flint umbra
#

yikes

#

not sure if thats better or worse

pliant topaz
#

at some poing a bug is just a feature

#

if it stays long enough

warm aspen
#

bro it's nice to have downtime where u can spread some ruptures and do some mechanics without feeling like u just lost out on dmg lol

tame terrace
#

not every spec needs to be 100% uptime damage damage damage blast blast blast resources arent real

hazy breach
pliant topaz
#

racoon said its because blades is rogue damage clones arent rogue

#

but idk

tame terrace
#

i know why eleem

pliant topaz
#

by that logic nimble is rogue damage and should count

tame terrace
#

shadow blades empoweres your WEAPONS

and sec tech does clone shenanigans

#

cloens arent weapons

#

checkmate

warm aspen
flint umbra
#

no way i could have a build with vigor and maybe tea?

pliant topaz
#

drop cb

warm aspen
#

where they can't get our buffs to buff pets

flint umbra
pliant topaz
#

it makes it worse

#

doesnt ruin it

#

both cb and tea are meh

flint umbra
#

id also have to drop both lethality points

#

and still wouldnt have a point for tea

pliant topaz
#

yes

#

u would drop letahlity and cb

wind canopy
#

You drop soothing darkness to pick up tea as well

warm aspen
# flint umbra

yeah that's why u drop the piss worthless vanish healing thingy

#

lmao

pliant topaz
#

and obviously soothing darkness

flint umbra
#

that shits ass

#

ty guys

#

should make the gameplay more fun

#

as i wont be sitting still doing nothing as much

#

cause it was feeling worse than assa pooling

wind canopy
#

Yeah, taking vigor and tea to get more backstabs outside of CDs definitely will make it feel better Smile

warm aspen
#

it's actually kinda bad

#

2.6% overall loss

pliant topaz
#

yea

warm aspen
#

ngl tho i kinda hate how cd doesn't perfectly line up with sectech

flint umbra
#

im fine with it being worse

#

just want it to be fun

wind canopy
#

I mean, it is. You don't have to play every single second to do good damage. There's times just resting and waiting is a perfectly fine playstyle.

flint umbra
#

its about it feeling boring

#

just felt unfun sitting there

#

especially when the highs are so high

#

when youre in burst

wind canopy
#

I maen, you can't expect to have high highs and high lows.

hazy breach
#

The highs are high and the lows are low

warm aspen
#

yeah i gotta be real, vigor doesn't exactly help us

flint umbra
warm aspen
#

when we do half of a tank's dps during downtime

flint umbra
warm aspen
#

like yes u could be hittng buttons more, but then u look at the dmg chart

#

and ur like

#

oh

flint umbra
#

cause those really annoy me

warm aspen
#

im perma sitting 90 apm

tame terrace
#

shrug, the expected draughts of sub make it interesting compared to sin and outlaw

warm aspen
#

but im doing no dmg

tame terrace
#

droughts

warm aspen
#

0 rewards for my play

flint umbra
#

i mean sin is like that too

#

at least was

#

seems to be different now with DS

tame terrace
#

u have so much energy compared to sub as sin

flint umbra
#

yes but you spend it fast af

craggy badger
#

I'm playing sin right now and the gameplay is so ass i'm considering swapping to sub

tame terrace
#

sub's droughts are mostly waiting for cds

craggy badger
#

I don't know if i'm going to hate my life even more

wind canopy
#

You can also low roll and get like triple 1CP FoKs, so...

tame terrace
#

since u can blast as soon as u dance symbols

#

but ur just waiting to be able to do that

flint umbra
#

i think ass feels fun

#

the abilities have a satisfying feel to them

craggy badger
#

Sin always has been the spec i hate to play the most

warm aspen
#

sin...idk, just feels super weird

#

like why tf does it have ambuhs

hazy breach
#

The periods of no dance/symbols could definite be shorter than 30 seconds for sure

warm aspen
#

when it already has garrote

hazy breach
#

But i like the contrast of doing no damage outside cds

warm aspen
#

and like 74 different talent nodes buffing garrote from stealth

flint umbra
#

dispatch?

#

ambush you mean?

warm aspen
#

yeh mb

flint umbra
#

outlaw brainrot

#

lol

warm aspen
#

yup

craggy badger
#

Honestly i just love pressing buttons and outlaw is fun af to me

warm aspen
#

exactly

#

OL is so fun, but yeah target cap is rough

flint umbra
#

yeah outlaws great

#

wish it did more damage sometimes

warm aspen
#

and it's a little stressful tbh

tame terrace
#

i play all 3, theyre all fun now

warm aspen
#

dropping AR

tame terrace
#

sub was meh before this patch in keys

warm aspen
#

is such a terrifying concept

#

bro sub was straight ass b4 this patch

flint umbra
#

yeah it feels good now

tame terrace
#

i didnt mind sub in raid

flint umbra
#

not sure what fixed it

warm aspen
#

symbols did

tame terrace
#

cd alignment

#

symbols change

warm aspen
#

as well as just a lot more cp in general

flint umbra
#

youre right

#

cd alignment is making it feel so much cleaner

tame terrace
#

ye

#

the cd alignment is huge

warm aspen
#

supercharger, coup bugfix, more cp with symbols

#

but also we just straight up do 6% more damage lmao

flint umbra
#

cause 2 min SB essentually made flag 2 min as well

#

which is just shitty

ornate berry
#

Supercharger+Rotten means ripping fat SecTechs Kreygasm

flint umbra
#

cause you never flag without sb

warm aspen
#

death perception DOES buff our dmg

#

whereas dust didn't

#

dust was purely resets

flint umbra
#

yeah wtf!

#

why is cold blood good?

#

the rotton makes it kinda dumb am i crazy?

warm aspen
#

?????????/

flint umbra
#

what?

warm aspen
#

generate combo points

flint umbra
#

im blind

#

and dumb

#

rip

#

unfortunate

warm aspen
#

nah u got baited by the other guy

flint umbra
#

true

#

actually

warm aspen
#

rotten doesnt make sectech fat lol

ornate berry
#

Rotten cause guaranteed 7CP off Shadowstrikes is why

#

Not that it buffs SecTech

#

Premed/Rotten makes Dance feel real good

#

pre-.5 you'd sometimes have to double Strike before you could finish in Dance

#

Felt very bad

hazy breach
#

Its just crit and damage nowadays

warm aspen
#

or idk

#

some wayyyy old stuff

ornate berry
wind canopy
#

What patch were you thinking of? The one with seal fate for everyone?

swift tinsel
#

not afaik for sub

ornate berry
#

I knew Storm CP crits was linked to that

warm aspen
#

LOL

#

nope

#

storm's for targets hit

#

crit has always been sin's territory my frined

ornate berry
#

Nah Seal Fate was a talent where CP would get doubled if you crit

#

It existed before the S2 rework in DFlight

warm aspen
ornate berry
#

AoE was just Storm>Black Powder alternating since Storm was like 7 CP instantly lol

wind canopy
#

Yeah, that was a Seal Fate thing. Not a sub thing.

ornate berry
#

Whelp, placebo effect kekw

#

I feel like Ive rarely had double Strike sequences occur in Dances since patch

steel horizon
#

they took seal fate from us

#

even though it was sins originally, but still

thorny kestrel
#

Hello, so pins were saying that death stalker is only slightly better because of the dm bug? So we play trickster for single Target then

idle aurora
flint oar
#

Yes it's almost definitely that. Most APLs are written with hero talent checks for pretty much everything.

#

Since TWW, a lot of specs are extra fucked for levelling with the addon now.

topaz raptor
#

i'm CRANKIN on sub

#

this spec owns

#

i need a telephone

flint umbra
#

especially after i swapped to a tea setup, does respectable damage with the small sec tech bursts without flag and sb too

#

nice to know you wont be doing tank damage in pulls without cds

warm aspen
#

ngl tho the one big thing i hate about tea build

#

extra keybind for tea xD

flint umbra
#

I put it into dance

#

And have it bound just in case I need it by itself

#

Tbh now that it auto procs when you’re low, you’ll rarely ever press it by itself

warm aspen
#

u dont tea for mastery on ST tho

#

...

edgy zenith
#

i had a ranged player tonight on ky'veza prog "hey, just dodge the lines"

im fighting for my life

tacit yacht
#

Heya! I'm unsure about the usage of symbols / dance:

  1. With Inevitability, symbols last longer than dance. During opener / flag, do I refresh dance first, then symbols and then I'll have naked symbols in the end for a bit?
  2. Similar: There's a symbol charge and sectec is ready or will be ready, but no dance. Wait for dance or send it?
narrow shadow
#

Hi guys, does Crit suck for sub?

tribal blade
narrow shadow
#

It's a pain in the ass to play gear for the different rogue specs

#

I like them all tbh and was looking for any overlap to switch between with the gear

#

But it's hella tough with the stats each spec prefers

#

Sin and Outlaw love Crit but it's not that good for Sub

Sub and Outlaw love vers but it's super bad for sin

Sub and Sin love mastery but it sucks for Outlaw

Sin and Outlaw (to a certain point) like haste but it sucks for Sub

tribal blade
#

yeah that's always an issue trying to play 3 different specs

narrow shadow
#

I wish at least the dagger specs had more stat overlap

#

But oh well

tribal blade
#

the thing is you usually only need to swap out a few pieces to make up the stats to play the other specs to a tolerable level

#

you don't need super min maxed stats to play a spec to almost it's full potential

#

like swapping out rings and neck is a very easy way to reallocate your stat budget

muted agate
#

whats the tea build

#

wtf

tribal blade
muted agate
#

oh

crimson dagger
#

other than maybe ulgrax is it just me or is assassination beating sub on almost every fight?

jaunty umbra
#

I beat assa idk bout you ez

crimson dagger
#

just feeling like if i want to be optimal ill need to continue regearing assass and put sub into storage for now i enjoy both specs so im struggling to find a reason to play sub

tribal blade
#

the last time i tried it out in DF you start wanting more crit with that build

#

since you don't have CB

muted agate
#

i hav ethe fuckin ansurek ring from weekly last week

#

so i might try i guess

thorny kestrel
jaunty heath
#

hey subs

#

are u guys sub little frail men

wind canopy

But I wanna get full BiS set for 2 specs at least before the end of season

topaz raptor
#

anyone got a first dance weakaura

vale pine
#

you can create a template in less than 20 secs

topaz raptor
#

you give me too much credit

last ether
#

teach a man to fish... and they won't ask for WeakAuras.

tribal blade
#

ok i just watched the rank 1 mists key

#

and enhance is illegal right now

#

1 phasing the 1st boss is just ludicrous

#

on a 17 mists

vale pine
#

tuning is a slot mashine currently

#

i haven't see this many outliners and classes kept op for a long time

#

i understand that it creates more positivity especially within the specs that are op

#

dracthyr_shrug subtlety is in a better position than 11.0.2

#

so not that much to complain about

tribal blade
#

i did a LOT of damage on the 2nd boss of CoT

vale pine
#

i think BP could need another buff

tribal blade
#

that felt so good as sub

vale pine
#

another 30% maybe?

tribal blade
#

HAHA

#

but then we have to play DS

vale pine
#

fair

#

secrt then

tribal blade
#

i feel like tuning for sub is really complicated now

vale pine
#

buff secret

tribal blade
#

at least for aoe

tribal blade
vale pine
#

would probably buff trickster more than ds

tribal blade
#

it's at least starting to actually do damage in keys now

vale pine
#

but tbh thats good because deathstalker gameplay is not good

tribal blade
#

it's way higher in overall

tribal blade
vale pine
#

i think you would do more damage even without dust gone

#

supercharger is in general just very good for sub

tribal blade
#

the ability to sectec on it's cd is really good

#

what do you think about running tea vs CB

#

i might actually sim that right now

soft summit
#

Are we running first dance in mythic/ by chance? If so, what do we drop?

soft summit
#

WM?

tribal blade
#

weaponmaster

vale pine
soft summit
#

Ah

tribal blade
#

it's close to TFD

vale pine
#

tea isn't that far off

#

cb lost a bit of its strength in 11.0.5

tribal blade
#

i think the downside is we're early in the expac so getting enough crit to compensate isn't easy

vale pine
#

its more

#

you can get a big crit guaranteed on a flagellation empowered secret

#

so technically, at least for trickster

#

delaying your first cold blood cast for the 2nd secret is better

tribal blade
#

oh i see
