I'm curious if they'll ever adjust or change Cold Blood. It's a very strange node with only one use..

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Make SecTec have 100% crit when used during Dance AND Symbols.

#

Bam, improved.

tribal blade
#

that would be sexy

vale pine
#

well not sure if its that big in m+

placid crown
#

Hello guys, i'm wondering something since we have hero talents. I play deathstalker, and in this situation (5 or more targets), should i eviscerate to get necro mark again or is it a lost of dps compared to just spam shuriken storms and black powders ?

rugged flicker
#

guys be real - is sub only good for pvp this expansion?

tribal blade
#

the downtime w/o tea just feels so bad

tribal blade
keen dome
#

It's also fine in keys.

rugged flicker
#

could have sworn a few days ago it wasn't

rugged flicker
keen dome
#

Yes

rugged flicker
#

both builds are lowest and second lowest dps in the game rn

#

it also didn't feel good when I raided but in all fairness I'm new so probably skill issue for the most part anyway

tribal blade
#

in raid

#

and on reset sin is getting bug fixed so they lose a bit of dps

#

not a lot, but enough where sub might be slightly better

rugged flicker
#

whats sin?

tribal blade
#

assassination

rugged flicker
#

ah

vale pine
#

basically its all relative balance

rugged flicker
#

yeah for raiding its actually looking good

tribal blade
#

sub's cd line ups are also pretty nice

#

and with the change to symbols having charges we have on demand burst more than before

vale pine
#

assassiantion has insane aoe, brings aoe silence with a damage reduction and strong priority target damage. Its main weakness is pure single target output

#

Subtlety lacks strong aoe but brings good single target

#

also besides being "THE" priority damage spec, can't hold up to scent of blood

tribal blade
#

ok i know it's bad to use stat weights, but i simmed tea vs CB and if you run tea crit goes from being 3rd prio stat to 1st

rugged flicker
#

what do you do when your dps slows down when you run out of symbols of death?

vale pine
#

it just turns out that aoe damage is important in keys, and it makes subtlety overall the worse choice

keen dome
#

Ask the raid to kill the boss quicker dracthyr_kek

tribal blade
#

not much else you can do

keen dome
#

Become the MECHANICS GOD

tribal blade
#

don't get frustrated

rugged flicker
#

ill have to try it again because last time i just wasnt dealing any damage, but that was before last patch

keen dome
#

It's in a much better state and it doesn't feel like I'm trolling to play it in 10's

#

Which is a lovely feeling.

rugged flicker
#

i think pve content has traumatised me

#

on sub rogue every single enemy took like 20 sec in tww

#

on fury warrior im pulling 10 elites at once and aoe'ing them

vale pine
#

thats solo content design for you

rugged flicker
#

i kind of assumed it was similar for all classes since sub rogue was my first lvl 80

#

but id see people running up to the boss im fighting for 5 minutes and one shot it lol

vale pine
#

there is more than enough feedback about it

#

so you can assume they know about solo content problems for 8+ years now

#

the solution to it in TWW delves was to add a companion

rugged flicker
#

even with companion delves feel rough, ill have to try it again this patch but it was brutal

tribal blade
#

oh no

keen dome
#

it feels a whole lot better, imo.

tribal blade
#

it feels way better playing tea

keen dome
#

oh no

tribal blade
#

hahaha

rugged flicker
tribal blade
#

i'm gonna test this in a dungeon some time

keen dome
#

What'd you drop for it? CB, right?

tribal blade
vale pine
vale pine
rugged flicker
keen dome
#

I assume Lethality too

vale pine
#

you need to

#

there isn't much else you can drop

keen dome
#

yeah

#

That's all I could see haha, makes sense

placid crown
vale pine
#

you keep mark up with evis

#

so every time you get DN

#

you use evis

#

to re-apply

#

thats the default play style

placid crown
#

DN ?

vale pine
#

the capstone

#

darkest night

placid crown
#

i mean my question was : on multi target, is it worth to evis (as deathstalker, son on only one of the targets) instead of spamming storms and powders

#

i see no changes in dps whatever both of this option, on 5 targets and short time

vale pine
#

yes

placid crown
#

i see +6% dmgs if the fight is quite long

vale pine
#

the answer is: It is worth to evis with the buff above

placid crown
#

yeah but you dont have the buff above if you dont evis

vale pine
#

you do

placid crown
#

how ?

vale pine
#

you start with a strike from stealth

#

applying deathstalkers mark

#

if it reaches 0 stacks

#

or the target dies

#

you get the buff

#

and then you evis

tribal blade
#

hard to say if tea is actually better because the dummies are lagging again

haughty mural
#

better than what ?

vale pine
#

the dummies in the new city are buggy

haughty mural
#

cb ?

tribal blade
vale pine
haughty mural
#

for DS or Trickster ?

vale pine
#

(i am joking)

tribal blade
#

nah it makes me feel important 😉

#

i think the one good thing about running tea would be your cdr is better

#

across the board

vale pine
sacred yarrow
#

but wouldnt you eat during the date

placid crown
# vale pine and then you evis

yeah but evis on a single target, even if it's boosted with darkest night, might be less damage than a black powder on all the targets right ?

tribal blade
#

you lose less globals to energy

vale pine
vale pine
#

means you will continue to do so up to higher target counts

near rivet
#

it was worth to /cancelaura darkest night over 8 targets and do BP instead

haughty mural
#

also you want to get your deathstalker marks again -> so you proc DN

near rivet
#

and apply mark with shadowstrike

vale pine
#

oh true i forgot about that

#

its kinda weird to do

placid crown
#

mhh got it for the maths but

#

why necessary ton cancel aura .

#

?

#

i mean, if u just dont use it, whatever ?

near rivet
#

when you have DN buff up

#

you cant consume marks

placid crown
#

but when dn is up, you dont have marks

vale pine
near rivet
#

you do shadowstrike

vale pine
#

you can't apply it during DN currently

near rivet
#

to apply mark

#

its working differently now?

vale pine
#

oh wait wrong wording

#

you can't reduce mark stacks during dn

near rivet
#

you can apply, but you cant consume it

vale pine
#

ye

near rivet
#

so you cancelaura to not have to evi in 10 targets pack

vale pine
#

i guess you could just

near rivet
#

its cursed gameplay

vale pine
#

macro the cancleaura

#

to your strike

near rivet
#

well

#

you still want to evi sometimes

vale pine
#

well thats bad on lower tartgets

near rivet
#

to refresh snd

vale pine
#

dracthyr_kek cursed

placid crown
#

yea so if E key is my strike, i could do like an alt-E macro for this specific condition

vale pine
#

man

#

i think premed fixed snd

lilac stag
#

Or just change talents to trickster.

vale pine
#

sooo much better

near rivet
#

better off to just play trickster

vale pine
#

cttc feels like such a bandaid

placid crown
vale pine
#

trickster plays nice

#

i can only recommend

placid crown
#

but deatstalker destroys bosses way better, no ?

lilac stag
#

ds is just so jank.

vale pine
#

trickster is better on bosses

lilac stag
#

No it doesn’t

keen dome
#

I felt like i did more boss damage as Trickster this week.

vale pine
#

what deathstalker is better is

#

aoe

#

if you have sustained aoe

#

BP and rupture do a lot of damage

lilac stag
#

It’s a pad spec.

Ethical dmg only for sub.

placid crown
#

but doing lot of dmgs with rupture requires to put points on talents to do so... and so less dmgs on single target

near rivet
#

scent of blood

near rivet
#

you dont have to go dark brew

#

prob still a loss compared to symbols stacks

vale pine
#

but yes, deathstalker single target gets a bit lower

near rivet
#

oh

vale pine
#

but its like 2% max

#

brew makes rupture shadow damage

placid crown
#

Actually i'm playing this for both raids and mm+...

vale pine
#

so deeper dagger/etc work on it

#

and is a 10% shadow damage buff

#

so don't think you want to skip out on more damage on BP/etc

near rivet
#

makes sense

vale pine
#

but you can ofc do it with something like ecologue posted

placid crown
#

what i am seeing on 5 dummies is that playing these talents and still using ruptures on dummies is not a gain of dps compared to just not use rupture

#

i mean : with this talents, it's useless to rupture anything on 5 hp-equivalent targets

#

and my test was done with ruptures fully used, so i guess it would be even more useless if the targets dies with rupture still running

haughty mural
#

i wish replicating would get fixed

mint swift
#

Oh sub doesn’t run tea any more?

keen dome
#

All kofi, no tea. That's what Supercharger is. A really good espresso.

sacred yarrow
#

juice straight to the vein

mint swift
#

Ah fair

#

Was asking cause I remember tea before I swapped to Assa

keen dome
#

Yeah, we ran it prior to the changes but no more!

#

Unless we start running it again.

mint swift
#

Fair fair

#

Idk if I should go back to sub, just felt worse to play for me than assa

keen dome
#

Play the spec you are enjoying, imo.

#

If you are enjoying Assa, play Assa.

mint swift
#

Ye

placid crown
#

How do you manage this moment as deathstalker sub ? Considering you are against enough targets to get 7 cp with a storm, will you sectec with nothing and then spam storms/powders to get sectec back fast and use it again with symbols and dance, OR, do you wait the 8secs to do the sectec ?

tribal blade
keen dome
#

🙏 Science

placid crown
#

And same question for this second situation : how do you manage it ? Do you use now symbols+dance+sectec or do you wait the 15seconds before using them ?

#

I encounter both these situations quite frequently

haughty mural
#

do you still run transmitter in your keys ?

tribal blade
#

because it's so good for sub

lilac stag
#

stop trying to force out of cd feels.

#

fucking tea

tribal blade
#

it's very likely not better

#

but i wanna see how much you can get away with

lilac stag
#

If you’re that concerned with out of cd play, just go nado

#

idk why you’d want to go for energy and likely drooping vers for crit especially as keys go higher

#

but good luck cooking

tribal blade
#

haha as keys go higher i just go sin 😉

#

but that's a good point, vers stacking is so good in high keys

haughty mural
#

think his point is to get more cdr

#

with energy

hazy breach
#

Assa so squishy though hmm

haughty mural
#

ye - dont have exhilarating exec

#

they can run bait and switch tho

haughty mural
sinful sluice
#

man............................

#

💀

haughty mural
tribal blade
placid crown
#

but now that feint is not using a gcd... i feel like a noob playing with this

tribal blade
sinful sluice
#

i knew i would get killed getting that transmitter plate

tribal blade
#

if you're doing weekly 10s cheat is fine

sinful sluice
#

but my hadns were already heading that way

haughty mural
#

i don't remember when i played with cheat the last time

#

maybe for some raid mechanic

tribal blade
#

i ran cheat in keys up until i started doing ~12s

haughty mural
#

im a elusiveness enjoyer

near junco
#

Anyone have a macro to not accidently use symbols twice when you're spamming?

haughty mural
#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

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

near junco
#

cheers

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

i think the literal only place i felt i needed elusiveness in lower keys was the last boss of siege

#

but yeah elusiveness is mandatory

sinful sluice
#

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

can tie this up with dance? like

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

tribal blade
#

@lilac stag oh btw i'm playing sub for kyveza prog

#

i think i'll be playing sub in raid till prog is over

vestal escarp
#

As sub if you get dashes its a death sentence for dps imo

hazy breach
#

But other dungeons youre pretty much exclusively using it for stray bolts which should be kicked anyway.

#

Maybe nw where you cant kick em but idk

tribal blade
#

and you can get away with just feint

#

w/o elusiveness

#

another one i might add would be ara possibly

#

for the dots on 2nd and last boss

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

interesting

tawdry kiln
#

For the big add before last boss of Dawn, i get erased when it does the purple laser on me

hazy breach
#

Not last boss ig, but second boss is

tribal blade
#

ah ok gotcha gotcha

tawdry kiln
#

this is where I need elusiveness ig

hazy breach
#

Oh wait nvm last boss is aoe too

#

Only thing that isnt is the web spawning yell on the first boss

tribal blade
#

oh that isn't counted as aoe?

#

weird

vestal escarp
#

Weird indeed

#

I think im mitigating it with feint tho

#

Looking at others hp

vale pine
#

@tribal blade you think your experience would be better if storm costs wouldn't be this high

vale pine
tribal blade
#

if storm was 35 energy again i wouldn't be worrying about it like i am

vale pine
#

i think reducing storm costs would overall just be a net positive

vale pine
#

sub wouldn't become op

tribal blade
#

nah it wouldn't, it would be a gain for sure

#

but nothing crazy

#

and the user feedback of playing sub would be much better

vale pine
#

now we just need to convince realz to do it

tribal blade
#

it would make me so happy

#

if they reverted those changes

vale pine
#

just such a small change ^^

#

can have such a big impact

#

funny

tribal blade
#

i was quite upset when i saw how storm's energy cost was getting bumped up to 45

#

i had a feeling something like this might happen

#

what we're living through right now

#

running 100 energy is already quite a small resource

#

and with energy costs being so high it makes it so much worse

vale pine
#

it felt like solving a non existing problem

#

and as such out of place

#

but its not a gigantic problem

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

and you're right, it did feel like an unneccessary change

vale pine
#

the RS bug is another tilter

tribal blade
#

that could very well be part of the problem that's making sub worse in M+

vale pine
#

or the charge from coup

#

there are many annoyances

tribal blade
#

haha i almost died to the 1st boss of CoT today because of coup charge

vale pine
#

i initially went with "i will get used to the energy changes"

#

but i never did, i think its fine on single target tho

tribal blade
#

i've honestly never gotten fully used to it

#

i've learnt to deal with it

#

but it really irks me a lot

vale pine
#

i think a good argument is leveling and solo content experience

#

which is a lot worse due to it

tribal blade
#

it also makes casting feint very damaging to our rotation

#

because you simply don't have the budget to throw out 25 energy for a defensive

#

so if you feint to live anything, you're really affecting your rotation in a big way

#

it does feel like sub is dancing (no pun intended) on a very thin line

vestal escarp
#

During sod casting feint is never an issue for me

tribal blade
#

and if you do anything to throw it off you're losing cdr

tribal blade
#

but outside sod it's awful

#

sometimes even in sod it's not good

vestal escarp
#

Outside sod just pretty much everything is awful

tribal blade
#

it doesn't need to be that way

vestal escarp
#

Yeah for dmg sure

tribal blade
#

like sure our down time damage doesn't need to be great

vale pine
#

feint should be no cost

vestal escarp
#

Too op maybe?

haughty mural
#

as long as DK is THAT tanky

tribal blade
#

i'm sure they would say it's too powerful then yeha

haughty mural
#

i dont think its op

tribal blade
#

since it's on such a short cd

near rivet
#

refunds x energy when you actually reduce dmg

#

up to a cap

vestal escarp
#

We had a gcd vs cost debate a while ago befor the buff

#

Off gcd is fine for me

#

It doesnt int your dance anymore

tribal blade
#

yeah off gcd is very nice

#

maybe they could make nimble fingers reduce 20 energy

#

so it makes crimson vial free

#

and feint is 15 energy

haughty mural
#

that would be good

tribal blade
#

crimson vial isn't exactly a great self heal, would stand to be something that's free to cast

haughty mural
#

exactly

#

the way vial is tuned it could even go off gcd without a cost

tribal blade
#

i mostly wish it was an insta heal

#

like a healthstone

haughty mural
#

imo it doesnt even need to be

#

it just needs to heal something

tribal blade
#

i think it would be so much better if it was

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

you could use it reactively to save yourself

haughty mural
#

that for sure

vale pine
tribal blade
#

the heal over time isn't exactly something you can use in an emergency

vale pine
#

they already nerfed certain defensives for that reason

#

e.g. cheat death

#

was on a shorter cooldown

#

and you survived any lethal damage

#

also it did reset when you died

tribal blade
#

do you think rogues would become too squishy if feint was on a shorter cd?

haughty mural
#

but its just tuned badly now

vale pine
#

now its:

  • on a lot ass cooldown
  • does only prevent damage if its within 2x max hp
  • does not reset on death
vale pine
tribal blade
haughty mural
#

yea one of the reason i just play with elusiveness

tribal blade
#

when you see the stuff dks and rets can get away with

#

it's depressing

haughty mural
#

ye thats what i meant

vestal escarp
#

they only have more hp

#

ret has less defensives now than rog

haughty mural
#

im just glad sub got smth like exhilarating

upper narwhal
#

there's a bunch of bosses in M+ where we just run out of defensives without elusiveness

#

off-gcd feint is clutch tho

vestal escarp
#

feint and elu might not feel op when you play rog but in regards to the rest of the classes they're very strong

gray zephyr
vale pine
#

tl;dr: you sometimes get delayed refunds of cp

hazy breach
#

And last boss cot

upper narwhal
#

last boss CoT

#

yeah

vestal escarp
#

for example you have feint up on stonevault for all last boss screams with 40% dr, most classes have larger cds and cant do that

vestal escarp
upper narwhal
#

true SV has some hard bosses without it, not running out but sketch

gray zephyr
vale pine
#

we investigated the bug and found out how to re-create it

#

the bug is, as you see, quite old by now

haughty mural
#

and it's still one of the most annoying

vale pine
#

it was reported to devs too multiple times, but they haven't corrected it

#

it might be a very hard to pin down issue

haughty mural
#

"just dont spec into RS" kekw

solemn lance
#

quick question. since fazed lasts 7 seconds and can only proc once every 20 seconds, it sounds like for 13 seconds of every 20 fazed will not be up on a target. If coup procs outside those seven seconds at what point do we not hold our next eviscerate? and what do we do in its place

vale pine
haughty mural
#

sure

#

but at some point you still want to spread rupture

vale pine
#

yes

gray zephyr
vale pine
#

replicating could be funny if it actualyl replicated ruptures

#

so you would need less rupture casts to apply/maintain it

haughty mural
#

like a cd based ability "replicate your current rupture on x targets" ?

vale pine
#

like

vestal escarp
#

could just throw out ruptures like nothing, it's not like we're overpowered in aoe

south seal
#

The old night blade pasive

vale pine
#

every time you cast rupture the active ruptures get replicated to a near target

#

so you would spread

#

2-4-8-16-...

haughty mural
vale pine
#

rupture faster

haughty mural
static juniper
#

rupturret

vale pine
#

can not replicate on first cast, if its too powerful

south seal
#

Good idea

gray zephyr
#

Let's gooooo

#

And fix the bug while we work on the talent 😅

vale pine
#

haha true

#

bugs can be quite annoying

vestal escarp
vale pine
#

you get more than higher the target count

#

essentially

#

removing casts of rupture you need to do

#

e.g. currently you need 4 ruptures to spread on 8 targets

vestal escarp
#

absolutely

vale pine
#

with the cange you would need 3

#

with 16 targets, currently 8 casts

#

with the change 4

alpine wraith
#

that was the original idea with replicating you sued it one then on finishers it replicated but they nerfed it by 70%

vestal escarp
#

8 is kinda the sensitive point imo, you're rarely spreading 16 ruptures

alpine wraith
#

so it became a meme in bfa

vale pine
#

you also rarely have more than 3-4 targets that need rupture

oak portal
#

If shadow focus and improved shruiken storm are the only difference between cleave/dungeon and ST

#

can I just use improved shruiken storm on everything and forget about it

oak portal
#

Keep forgetting to swap on kyveza and sikran

vale pine
#

shadow focus is not that big of a dps gain

oak portal
#

Thanks man youre the goat

#

I know some people like talent diversity

#

but having a single layout is comforting tbh

vale pine
#

trickster is nice, you can run the same thing everywhere kinda

tribal blade
#

yeah shadow focus is hilariously bad now

#

almost worthless

vale pine
#

can we get extra vansih charge back instead of shadow focus?

#

you can't say no to such sweet eyes

tribal blade
#

because obviously that talent node is for stuff stolen from sub 😉

vale pine
#

i don't know

#

but maybe

#

make vanish cd lower

#

in the general tree

#

instead of 2nd charge

#

it sounds like a benefit for both sin and outlaw

oak portal
#

Imma be real sad and give Shruiken tornado

#

you'll be missed (not)

tribal blade
#

i would love to get back 2nd vanish charge

keen dome
#

Same

vale pine
#

no tornado and tfd

tribal blade
frozen hollow
#

remaining out of combat for 6 secs is hard when tanks chain pull everything thop

#

tho

vale pine
#

it is why i don't recommend it as default

#

pugs are a war zone

keen dome
#

I've been running this for dungeons:

#

Pretty similar, but I really love EE over Ephermal bond. I also prefer blackjack over tricks 'cos I don't get aggro anyway.

vale pine
#

ye ee

#

also surprised you use soothing

oak portal
#

I came from assa to sub to deal with tanks that chain pull

#

can't make me take tfd

keen dome
#

Honestly I forgot to change it to leeching.

#

Which I have now rectified haha

hazy breach
#

I think you should just spec tfd and not worry about it. You only need a couple of uses of it across the entire dungeon for it to beat wm

static juniper
#

i see that in the opener sequence images and on logs, there is a EV->EV cast, what allows us to get 2 consecutive casts of ev?

tribal blade
#

TFD seems incredible so far

tribal blade
#

i'm getting a lot of uses in most dungeons

keen dome
#

Yeah, I really like it for all non-raid content. It just has a ton of value.

#

Dawnbreaker dracthyr_kek

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

CoT as well

#

is a big one

keen dome
#

Yeah, absolutely.

#

Siege has some great spots too

tribal blade
#

honestly most dungeons have enough resets

#

i know because i'm always thinking about restealths as sin

keen dome
#

Stone Vaults, Ara-kara and GB probably have the least but i can still get enough in those.

tribal blade
#

GB has quite a few i think

keen dome
#

Yeah. I've started sitting back a tiny bit on some pulls. 1s or so, to get it. And it works out.

haughty mural
#

just sell speedshroud in GB and they will let you stealth 2ez

keen dome
#

Hahaha

#

EE + Leeching is gonna be a nice combo. Lotta extra survivability there although not as much.

#

Plus our pretty constant 10% DR which just frankly owns.

#

I was struggling to live some mechanics as Assa, but now I'm back on Sub I just shrug stuff off

#

I've been wondering if Deadened Nerves is worth it over Iron Stomach but i'm not sure how to really check. - Nevermind I'm dumb i can run both.

vale pine
#

another qol change i would like to see

#

is nimble flurry changed to magic damage

keen dome
#

Shadow damage. dracthyr_kek

vale pine
#

would be cool too

#

but just magic damage would be enough

#

to not depend on find weakness as much

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

the find weakness dependency is annoying in play

#

even tho you can play it

#

by just using one storm

keen dome
#

In a hypothetical rework, I'd like to see Find Weakness either completely changed or just outright removed and baked into the spec. it's a relic.

vale pine
#

to spread it from rotten

#

(i simmed it its fine to do so)

keen dome
#

Yeah, haha

hazy breach
vale pine
#

yes, so you would need to use it on the 2nd casst

hazy breach
#

And im fairly sure that bug isnt in simc

vale pine
vale pine
haughty mural
#

spec can't catch a break

sinful sluice
#

ahh m+ feels so much better with new talents compared to DS brew build

#

Decent boss dmg, decent ~7 target adds dmg, good cdr rotation

chilly tree
#

Is sub viable for mythic brood?

I cant get sin down well but i have outlaw and sub down

hazy breach

Sub is pretty good on brood ye

#

Assa is cracked though

Or maybe accidentally i bind it the spell with R?

Nop

#

did i miss something why is overclocked gear ring simming so high (on bloodmallet)

hazy breach
#

Because bloodmallet is simming sub without any talents

uneven scarab

Last time i used bloodmallet for sub seemed fine but that was over a week ago

#

Actually was before the changes came in

maybe thats just UI but not in the sim?

i think the roots hp nerf was a response to the gnome race changing

but like, how many people on average are unable to do all 4 sets

hazy breach
#

DH, priest, evoker, rogue i think

#

Shamans can with spirals

thanks, it sounds important

But you have flag+blades up for the third set so you can obliterate it

hey guys quick question... do we ever use shuriken storm to build points on trickster? or we just use backstab/shadowstrike due to the cleave?

vale pine
#

yes

#

you use it outside of shadow dance as your regular builder

#

with more targets ofc, not on single target

#

we use shadowstrike during dance

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste

Hi sub rogues

strange rover
#

is sub rogue actually that good as wclogs says or was it inflated cuz of bug abuse as with outlaw ?

vale pine
#

but the bug is not as extreme as on outlaw

#

doing 200 or 300k more dps

#

is diffrent than doing 2-3x your dps

#

the amount of logs on subtlety is also lower, and as such the overall impact low

#

besides this

strange rover
#

yeah but 200 300k is not minor numbers too tbh

vale pine
#

warcraftlogs did decide to partition the logs

#

so week one logs will be seperated from logs after reset

#

means, we have a clean start with this reset

strange rover
#

yeah i see thanks fuu

#

will see i guess

vale pine
#

but for dps, assassiantion gets a bugfix which is a small nerf

#

2% iirc

#

subtlety got a bugfix during the week

#

which ended up ~0.6% dps

strange rover
#

isnt it hotfixed u mean lethality nerf ye?

vale pine
#

yes

strange rover
#

fix*

vale pine
#

but the diffrence should be low

#

overall means we stay around the same on relative balance

#

(for rogue)

strange rover
#

yeah i guess we wait season 2 to play something else

vale pine
#

subtlety is good

mental comet
#

another week another no transmitter OMEGAKEKW

so if you like to have a bit of a shake up

Do you ever use blackpowder in AoE rotation? Feels like it does z dps

alpine wraith

as trickster you dont really do it much

finite elk
#

Been running DS right now, big difference?

alpine wraith
#

oh deathstalker i feel for you

#

but bp should hit ok on cds

just not outside

finite elk

Alright, thank you

which is on top of sub sucking on overall

its not bad

vale pine

rupture and BP is good

mighty light
#

Yeah if you're trickster it hits like a wet napkin

#

from a +4 Dawnbreaker

finite elk
#

How is shadowstrike soo low down

vale pine
#

you don't strike that much as deathstalker

mighty light
#

anything above 1 target is shuriken if I recall correctly

vale pine
#

hero talents make a noticable diffrence

mighty light
#

even in SD?

#

at least i think thats what ive been doing, whatever fuu's guide says lol

vale pine
finite elk
#

That is on Trickster or for DS to?

#

i might have missunderstood

alpine wraith
#

taht is for deathstalker

#

as trickster you never storm

#

in dance

vale pine
finite elk
#

🫡

mighty light
#

there are separate toggles for the DS rotation

vivid cobalt
#

Trickster is better overall still yea?

finite elk
#

Yeah, but DS you dont play Shuriken T or Tea

light imp
#

DS scales more than Trickster after 7 targets. so if you're doing a dungeon with large pulls, DS is better

mighty light
#

I play both, ST has a place and not playing CB is an approx 1% dps loss for my 611 rogue right now

#

but I like being able to have energy for black powder 8)

light imp
#

its disheartening when my 608ilvl 2h frost meme build DK can do almost as much damage as my 619 Sub rogue

vale pine
mighty light
#

right now for me the total dps loss playing DS with Tea is like around 4% if I was playing optimal trickster instead

finite elk
#

Hmm, i kinda fuck with CB + Sec tech combo

#

But i get what your angle is

rock and roll then, it works

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

bro Sin needs to do less damage outside of CDs

or if their identity is "consistent DoT damage" then they need to do less in CDs

but idk even know what Sin's identity is anymore

So it's more about getting out as many sectechs as possible rather than beefing them up, got it

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns.
The following macros are an exception:yaml /cast Cold Blood /cast Secret Technique

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

#

How to Use Symbols of Death:
Symbols of Death is used with 3 or less seconds of the Symbols of Death buff remaining or if the buff is not up.
Watch your Shadow Dance cooldown before using Symbols of Death. If Shadow Dance is not on cooldown or if the remaining cooldown is lower than 10 seconds it is usually better to delay the Symbols of Death cast till after Shadow Dance.

The only struggle I am having when playing sub in keys is if I don’t have CD on a pull I truthfully feel like I do negative damage.
