That works for a hunter too for different reasons 😆

#

I imagine them having 1 button on their keyboard, but the number 1 has faded, and now they have a conundrum what to press

keen dome
lilac stag
#

I’m ok with this. Assa gonna get nerfed at some point

keen dome
#

11.1 is the year of Sub

lilac stag
#

Nice. I want to test the new blink. It sounds like a nice improvement.

sly shore
#

on average sized pulls

#

but its stupidly far behind on bosses

vestal escarp
#

(they have strong aoe talents)

lilac stag
#

I can’t imagine splatter staying as is, but who knows

tame stratus
#

spatter ends up lile psychic link

vestal escarp
#

It already got nerfed

lilac stag
#

m+ tuning always sus

tame stratus
#

every 2 Weeks it goes up and down 5%

sly shore
#

considering sub basically loses 0 dps to go "aoe"

lilac stag
#

it’s not exactly a nerf when you’re increasing damage on other knobs

sly shore
#

and assa loses 350k in single target

#

it's not surprising sub dumpsters on bosses

vestal escarp
#

The spatter argument is always a bit sketchy, it's like saying blade flurry is too strong for ol

sly shore
#

spatter is too strong

lilac stag
#

bosses still seem to be more of a cock block than trash but idk. Just from watching higher keys

sly shore
#

for a 1 point talent that is basically free

#

it's doing more than capstone put together

#

lmao

vestal escarp
#

Spatter too strong cause enve too strong

lilac stag
#

Splatter + unlimited energy is a problem. ol had same issue when they could ignore resources.

sly shore
#

spatter is just tuned too high

#

it's the simplest nerf without nuking their ST

#

same as crimson tempest

#

shit fucking blasts

vestal escarp
#

Which already happened

sly shore
#

yeah, and it is still problematic

#

I think other classes should be brought up though

#

not assa brought down

vestal escarp
#

Yep

lilac stag
#

they took a soft nerf to it (good for not hammering it). It’s still a significant outlier

vestal escarp
#

Assa to do that aoe loses a ton of st

sly shore
#

well, not with spatter

lilac stag
#

looks at ghuun 2.0. Kekw

vestal escarp
#

Anyway if they nuke assa we're back to playing ol for keys so I'd rather defend it than freeze

#

Like DF s3

#

Very fun

lilac stag
#

ol. Lol

#

ask Zach why he’s waiting to sub instead of OL in keys.

sly shore
#

He's playing both

#

sub on some bosses is just better

lilac stag
#

yep

tepid trellis
#

sub be goated frfr

lilac stag
#

he enjoys outlaw so more power to him

worthy escarp
#

Queens mandate + transmitter our bis for st right ? Then void reaper - transmitter for aoe ? Or am I wrong

tribal blade
#

maybe there's something weird about it, but it sims quite well but i'll check the damage after and it's really low

worthy escarp
#

Hmm fair, because I sim 10k higher but I feel stronger with queens mandate

#

What trinkets do you use ?

keen dome
#

It did about 10m damage for me on Kyveza last night. Contract,t hat is

#

And 13m on Ovinax.

sly shore
#

it has agi

tribal blade
#

the damage is probably lower because it's agi stick

sly shore
#

most trinkets seem to have secondary stats + damage on use or agi this tier

keen dome
#

Ye

worthy escarp
#

What would you guys recommend then

#

For best performance endgame wise

keen dome
#

If I had it, I'd probably run transmitter + contract, or transmitter + queens. But i've yet to get either so I just run skardyn + contract.

sly shore
#

I run transmitter plus anub trinket from dawnbreaker atm

#

in key

worthy escarp
#

Rly hard to decide since I got all 3 of them

keen dome
#

Oh yeah, that's a nice trinket too

worthy escarp
#

Had some luck on my side

#

Had to hard swap back to rogue mid season because guildys left, so I am not 100% comfortable with what’s best atm and shit. Ty lads

#

is it a good idea to macro SoB into shadowdance?

tepid trellis
#

nope

lilac stag
#

watch speed curse himself out for hitting sod and then his macro on the queen kill

fallow nimbus
#

For me the shadow dagger at 619 sims better than 626 queen monkahmm

tulip gorge
#

It’s weird how sub has so many buttons off the gcd kekdog

lilac stag
#

It is?

#

what is so many also. Lol

lucid lily
lilac stag
#

knife still good. Mastery good.

hazy breach
#

And queen doesnt have agi passively so all of your bursts without it are gonna be weaker

lucid lily
#

Makes sense, I just feel bad seeing mandate chilling in my bag 😅

gilded ferry
#

time to ask the real questions

#

which one of the 3 options of transmitter you guys prefer

#

i hate the jumping one

lucid lily
#

Jumping is for sure the worst one

lucid lily
#

Fucks up the whole flow of the opener

tribal blade
#

all 3 are bad for different reasons

#

at least the jumping one if you have it you can activate it no matter what

#

you won't lose it

lucid lily
#

Orb is the best though

tribal blade
#

i dunno about that

#

you have to hit it directly, and under players and targets and mechanics it can be really hard to see

#

plus it just wanders away sometimes

#

climbs up stuff

lucid lily
#

Idk I never have a hard time seeing it and snagging it quickly

#

It’s really just personal preference. I won’t miss any of it when it’s gone, that’s for sure

tribal blade
#

yup this trinket is aids, i really don't like using it

#

but what can we do, it's just that good for sub 😉

shell lance
#

For ui elvui or tukui?

tribal blade
#

never used complete ui replacements, seems like a hassle

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

I dislike the circle the most

tribal blade
#

the issue with the circle is if it spawns in a bad area, it's there for good

lilac stag
#

Back to assa you go

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

Legit takes a moment to turn your facing directing

tribal blade
#

timed 13 CoT today as sub

lucid lily
#

You can pre-position to place the orb/platform not in stuff

tribal blade
#

you can

#

for sure

lilac stag
#

instead of meatballing it

tribal blade
#

but sometimes things are extremely hectic

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

like the pulls before last boss of mists

lilac stag
#

you could always drop it while you wait for TFD

#

If you can’t turn your toon

tribal blade
#

btw i think i prefer doing some keys as sub, just feels way better

#

feel tankier

#

feels less stressful

#

more boss dam

lilac stag
#

I mean. You’re vers boi

#

I should hope so

tribal blade
#

yeah i like it

hazy breach
#

Boss damage difference is insane

lilac stag
#

Plus the absorb

tribal blade
#

yeah sub's boss dam is big

#

sin's ST damage feels like fucking dogshit

hazy breach
#

The loss of prio damage can def be felt though

tribal blade
#

maybe i'm doing something wrong (probably am) on sin

lilac stag
#

Assa is all details. Sub is all kill the fucking boss

tribal blade
#

but no matter what i do i can't get good numbers on pure ST

lilac stag
#

I wish I enjoyed keys more

hazy breach
#

Like in nw assa demolishes necromancers because funnel

tribal blade
#

but then you get to 3rd boss and it feels so bad

hazy breach
#

3rd boss is alright since its mostly burst

#

The last boss feels miserable though

tribal blade
#

yeah last boss pretty bad too

hazy breach
#

Gotta hold DN for shield, gotta hold DN for exile

#

Never do any damage outside of the buff from coming up

tribal blade
#

they really need to do something about losing your mark

#

it shouldn't be this much micro managing around it

hazy breach
#

Idk that boss is just horrendously designed either way

#

But ye

tribal blade
#

haha remember that boss in SL

#

you had to save what, 2 hammers and 1 spear for it

hazy breach
#

Apparently augs wont get sent down anymore

tribal blade
#

that's fucking insane

hazy breach
#

Which is honestly worse

tribal blade
#

so the 2 dps just take turns getting sent down

#

holy shit

#

that's so cursed

hazy breach
#

Ye and then we wiped

tribal blade
#

the add also takes a bit to die

hazy breach
#

Because aug+tank+healer couldnt break shield

tribal blade
#

i had to use kingsbane on it 1 time

hazy breach
#

No 14 for me

tribal blade
#

i finally got it timed on 13 today

hazy breach
#

Probably just have him swap deva before last boss honestly

tribal blade
#

i was doing pretty big aoe dam

#

haha everyone has to zone out to swap

#

rogue zones out to swap to sub

#

aug zones out to swap to dev

hazy breach
#

Im gonna start doing it tbh

#

Assa for the first half sub second

tribal blade
#

you zone out before the 2 mobs upstairs come out right

#

at least i saw casual zone out then

hazy breach
#

Ye

#

Oh is casual doing it too now?

#

I know the outlaws were doing it

tribal blade
#

i saw him do it in a 15 or something i think

#

he was sin for the first half, then hearthed to an inn in bastion

#

swapped to sub and flew back

hazy breach
#

Ill just portal out

tribal blade
#

oh true portal

#

his might have been on cd from doing it earlier

#

how bad is it playing sub for the first half of NW

#

less prio, no iron wire and target capped

hazy breach
#

Not that bad tbh with standard pulls

tribal blade
#

well not target capped if you BP

lilac stag
#

Didn’t feel bad on 10

hazy breach
#

But my group typically pulls gatekeepers instead of bigger first pull

tribal blade
#

the 1st pull is hell on earth for the tank

hazy breach
#

Specifically because ill destroy it as assa

tribal blade
#

yeah all the tanks i've played with want to pull gatekeepers now

#

so the pull is slightly smaller and a bit easier to manage

hazy breach
#

It usually dies before its second cast

tribal blade
#

yeah i usually deathmark the gatekeeper

#

try to nuke it out of orbit

hazy breach
#

Ye and sub wont nuke it as hard, but probably still hard enough

tribal blade
#

but iron wire is just fucking so good too

#

i've started playing w/o a trace

#

so 2 vanish charge sin

#

it feels really good

lilac stag
#

Haha

#

Someone call whispyr

tribal blade
#

hehe

hazy breach
#

Its fine now

tribal blade
#

well the "standard" build right now is x2 subterfuge

#

and 1 point in lethality

lilac stag
#

I haven’t touched assa since .5

tribal blade
#

so you just take out that point and put it in 2 vanish charge

hazy breach
#

Before when subterfuge was useless it was really bad

tribal blade
#

subterfuge with MA is pretty nice

hazy breach
#

Now its mostly preference

lilac stag
#

Makes sense

tribal blade
#

also you can get pulled out of stealth before a pull

#

and still apply your mark

#

which is so good

hazy breach
#

First boss cot without subterfuge despairge

tribal blade
#

haha i guess if everyone is close enough

#

to the boss on pull

#

he doesn't do the suck in

#

or it doesn't do damage i think

#

1 of those

#

a group i was in tried to do it but someone was too far out and we still got sucked in and damaged

hazy breach
#

I think it pulls you out either wat?

#

Way

#

But i could be wrong

tribal blade
#

i have no idea, i have yet to see it

hazy breach
#

Havent wiped to it and tried to continue abyway so ive always had DN up anyway

tribal blade
#

not sure from that because he attacks immediately on pull

#

but i think they don't take damage

#

oh ok he says it before "get close so the drag doesn't do damage' so yeah i guess it does still pull you out

hazy breach
vale pine
#

haha, the good old int dagger craft

sly shore
hazy breach
#

The pug i did yesterday the tank leaped and changed when we were very far away

sly shore
#

then basically get fucked I guess

hazy breach
#

And we managed to take two ticks before getting into the circle

#

So 3 people died

#

And then we left

#

💀

tribal blade
leaden prairie
#

The portal cast time is just short enough

#

If the 2 dudes spawns you get global combat

tribal blade
short radish
#

@tribal blade thoughts on value of sitting afk to proc TFD before a pull

vale pine
#

sitting afk is worse

short radish
#

damn

#

okay

#

im still gonna do it though if i fuck up and don't have 2 dances for flag

tribal blade
#

yeah fuu's probably right, the afk time you spend could be worth a few globals of rupture spreading

short radish
#

mhmm true

#

maybe 1-2 seconds is okay

tribal blade
#

maybe if you're only sitting afk for like a second yeah

short radish
#

but not t he full duration

#

it was mainly between mists packs

tribal blade
#

i haven't been tracking it because i don't want to get tilted if i don't manage to proc it

short radish
#

where im like... JUST A FEW MORE SECONDS PLEASE

tribal blade
#

so now it's a nice "hey, i have a TFD dance"

lilac stag
cedar rock
#

how is sub feeling in keys after 11.0.5? alot better?

lilac stag
#

mmhm

twilit phoenix
#

might be a bit stupid, but how are people timing transmitter in burst phases

#

pressing it after flag?

#

and collecting before first sec tech?

vale pine
#

yes, you pop it slightly earleir

#

then collect it during dance

twilit phoenix
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
vivid cobalt
#

they should really make TFD proc as soon as you drop combat

#

no reason for it not to work that way

vale pine
#

agree

vivid cobalt
#

its just grief rn

#

also is it just me or would adding a 3rd charge of dance just fix the spec

cedar rock
#

i have a auestion about that bp rule. So if flawless form is up wo dont black powder at all?

vale pine
#

you technically can bp again on very large pulls

#

but you rarely pull like 13 mobs

cedar rock
#

so like 5 plus?

#

oh shit 13 plus

#

ok cool

vale pine
#

12+ ye

cedar rock
#

so basically were never using bp lol

#

cause flawless is pretty much up

#

all the time?

coarse nexus
#

yeah

vale pine
#

yes

cedar rock
#

damn

#

ok

vale pine
#

or you can

#

play deathstalker

vivid cobalt
#

i only use it when ive fucked up cooldowns and we pull a pack with no dance and i cant et fazed to proc

vale pine
#

and suffer by using BP on 2+

cedar rock
#

whats the diff between tick and death in keys?

#

trick*

#

like dmg wise. Is it griefing to play death?

vivid cobalt
#

deathstalker feels like ass

vale pine
#

the diffrence is

#

trickster performs noticable better in cleave and low target

#

trickster offers better burst

#

and has lower trade offs between single target and aoe

#

deathstalker has technically better funnel

#

and stronger sustained aoe

cedar rock
#

oh fr huh

vale pine
#

rupture does a lot of damage

#

^ so you enjoy spreading your ruptures

twilit phoenix
vivid cobalt
#

i feel like its important to note that u pmuch never see that sustained aoe use case in keys tho unless ur overall dps is really low and u over pull

cedar rock
#

i like deathstalker as a theme ngl but i only play 11/12 keys max anyways. So ill stic with trick. Playing around coup is fun too

#

also another question are we playing anything different with the rotten talent?

#

like do we always wanna save sec tech for it after a symbols?

vale pine
vivid cobalt
sly shore
#

it's any builder

#

so SS, BS and sstorm

round latch
covert pine
#

how to improve when we fall into the no energy part? I can backstab once every 6-7 sec 💀

sly shore
#

that's normal

hardy falcon
#

Yo guys, slowly picking up Sub again. I've played it a bit both in raid and in m+, I have a few questions.
For raid I understand the fact that everything revolves around SecTec (and obviously Flag and SB).
Is that also true fro M+ ? Speaking mainly about Symbols and Shadow Dance use. Are we more "generous" in M+ or do we follow the exact same rules ?

Also in M+, are we suppose to use often Black Powder ? Just got of Bora 10 and I didn't use the spell a lot at all

sly shore
#

!energy

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".

sly shore
covert pine

mm aight so I'd wait full energy at this point

uuuuuu

#

erm

#

surv back to gigapad?

strange chasm
#

Is both sub and sin fine for queen?

vale pine
#

yes both is fine

young path
#

Is deathstalker still bugged? I’d like to give it a go tonight but only if the marks (or whatever tf was wrong with it) was fixed

Hard enough getting keys done as sub and really don’t want to embarrass myself lol

#

(Or the spec)

vale pine
#

deathstalkers mark is still buggy but its not that dramatic of a impact

#

just means both hero talents perform about equal

twilit phoenix
#

so we always want our 2nd finisher in dance to be sec tech?

vale pine
#

you basically want to use it first during big cooldowns

#

to get it back for the 2nd dance you use back to back

#

but outside of that, yes

#

(big cooldowns = flagellation + shadow blades)

honest saddle
#

can we a get a sub rogue protest until coup doesnt grip us in

#

I will lead the charge

#

no pun intended

thick field
vale pine
#

its fine as first, but 2nd too

#

you often use symbols before secret is ready to then dance-finish-strike-secret

honest saddle
#

mainly because you dont go back to back shadow dances outside of big cooldowns, so there is no benefit to going first for more cdr

thick field
#

but there is the 4 set benefit of going first

topaz raptor
#

i have died way more than i expected i would have

#

from coup

#

i thought it wasn't gonna be that bad but it really is that bad

honest saddle
#

you lose macabre for 4pc

#

its pretty much the same

thick field
#

ah okay so macabre stack vs 4 set tradeoff is pretty even is what we're saying, so first or second is fine

#

dumb question then why do we want it first for big cds but its okay eithe rway outside of that?

thin lion
#

For big cd's u want so send sectech first so that you have it ready for the Second SD
When I remember IT correctly😄

pliant topaz
#

because otherwise it wont be up in time for the 2nd dance during cds

#

^ thats for deathstalker

thick field
#

oh wait maybe thats why im confused, i've only been playing trickster and it feels like its nowhere near a tight window for getting a second sectech in

pliant topaz
#

for trickster its first to stack flawless forms faster

thick field
#

ohh okay

pliant topaz
#

and push up coup

thick field
#

okay i gotcha

spark tusk
#

Simply don't play deathstalker and always go first

#

slam that shit

thin lion
#

Do we hold CB for the Second sectech because of flag and flawless stacks?

wind canopy
#

I think there’s a slight optimization for that. Eleem mentioned something about it

honest saddle
#

I am sure it's more damage, but in order to do that you would have to manually do CB always

#

and that seems like a bad idea

#

one fuck up ever in the fight and you wasted everything

#

or have a special keybind for non CB

#

I guess you could do that 1x, then go macro the rest

spark tusk
#

Apparently it's very tight and maeks you shift your sectec slightly

#

I don't know if it's worth the brainpower

#

if if you're big brain and can always remember it

#

probably

#

I'm not going to, I'm just keeping mine macroed

honest saddle
#

I macrod dance and sod all last expansion

#

not optimal

#

I have #1 parse in world

#

sometimes

#

it's better to play the simple way

#

than try to min max for .1%

#

but if you can do it

#

go for it

sand patio
honest saddle
#

nope, it ended up clipping sod by like 1-2 seconds

#

and people did it manually

#

talking about 15% damage on 1 global every like 1 minute.

#

not worth the squeeze imo

sand patio
#

I see

wind canopy
honest saddle
#

.5% is kinda a lot...

pliant topaz
#

but u can litearlly ignore cb and only ever cast it during flag 2nd sectech and thats 0.5%

#

so u would lose 1 cast every 1.5 minutes but its easier.

spark tusk
#

hrm

#

but requires an extra bind

pliant topaz
#

also cb is bugged and doesnt work with evis anyways, and has to be sent on cd, so not likely to use it on sectech

pliant topaz
#

or macro idk

#

actually never mind LMFAO

spark tusk
#

are we cooked

#

chat

pliant topaz
#

a lil bit

#

a liiiil bit

spark tusk
#

I mean I wouldn't make a bind for cb

#

I'd just make 2 sectec binds

#

one with one without

pliant topaz
#

that works too ig

#

my cb bind is 5

spark tusk
#

5?

#

what insanity

pliant topaz
#

yea

What does CB stand for

Fellow subs, is there a guide for sub rogue thats updated? Cause im kinda lost and its been 2 expansions since i played it

pliant topaz

#

Yeah, was trying to see if I could get CB ST in between every Flag/SB and that seemed way too difficult despite the timing of CB and it able to be up in between 😐

doesnt ticks macros work? like having a specific player on it. idk why mine isnt working rn

hazy breach

It should, might need to specify their server as well if theyre not from your realm

Im assuming their damage thing still doesnt work with sectech

twilit phoenix
#

we're not using cold blood outside of our 1.5 min burst, right?

lilac stag
#

Why are you holding a 45 second cd for 90 seconds?

hazy breach
#

You can if you use it immediately

#

But you dont want to delay flag

wind canopy
lilac stag
#

unless we've got some magical time dilation

wind canopy
#

Yeah but it’s very tight

lilac stag
#

0 - 45 - 90

#

seems to be down to the second kekw

wind canopy
#

That’s what you’d assume yes, but could be hit later than 45 because ST won’t be up by then

lilac stag
#

wut?

twilit phoenix
#

ya that's what I'm running into

lilac stag
#

just spend the 45 on anything instead of holding it

#

if youre that concerned about the flag CB

wind canopy
#

Well, yeah, but CB is bugged with evis apparently so… sure, can hit anything but that

twilit phoenix
#

CB rup HOLY

idle aurora
#

Jesus I am not sure how the hell you play sub. Having 5 cooldowns within cooldowns is making my brain effing explode

#

Do I just stand at a dummy for like 4 hours or does hekili help learning initial rotation

#

I may have chosen a spec too stronk for my smooth brain :/

wind canopy
#

But yeah, the simplification of all that CB usage was just 1.5 min peeposhrug

tawdry geyser
#

Hekili’s good for building some muscle memory but (I personally found) the best way to learn it was to just do some reading and understand the Why of the buttons you’re hitting

lilac stag
tawdry geyser
#

Yeah like as soon as I finally sat down and just read through all the guides I could find things started clicking way more

alpine wraith
#

you can still send cb at around 45 secs

twilit phoenix
tawdry geyser
#

Between that and just building some familiarity with the spec it becomes a lot less daunting lol

lilac stag
twilit phoenix
#

waiting for hachadino's video

alpine wraith
#

mainly because on most bosses you have things to do in the 1:30 so can use the other cb a bit later

#

but the dmg diff wont be big anyway

#

so just crit the non cb ones

#

EZ

lilac stag
#

just macro it and say fuck it

idle aurora
#

Yeah I’ll watch some more video and stand at dummy then. But more or less it’s handle the three different burst windows and normal rotation right? Except the weird coup de grace thing where you have to black powder waiting for 4 stacks right?

wind canopy
#

I wouldn't worry about those small optimizations. Just get the main rotation down and then think about things like that (though not sure if that BP thing is a thing anymore).

lilac stag
#

Worry about sod with sectech

idle aurora
#

It’s more the different this burst window has 5 buttons this one has 3 this one has 2 then this one with vanish

#

That’s killing me

wind canopy
# alpine wraith EZ

And yeah, it's small, not like game-changing. I'm just sticking with the CB/ST macro and not thinking about it

wind canopy
idle aurora
#

I don’t know where to start building the muscle memory 😄

alpine wraith
#

there are always those things to think about

idle aurora
#

But I should only be using backstab and evisc and rupture right outside of window?

#

In aoe

wind canopy
#

Are you playing trickster?

#

Should be using storm when you have flawless, backstab when you don't. Eviscerate/Rupture to finish.

static juniper
#

Can someone please elaborate on this.
Isn't flawless form a buff on the player?

grave abyss
#

probably means fazed probably means you want to eviscerate if you have flawless

hazy breach
#

If flawless form is not up

#

When you have 2 or more targets

static juniper
#

is there a moment where flawless form is not up tho

hazy breach
#

Its rare but ye

#

Its got like 90-95% uptime

static juniper
#

tbf not pressing BP is turbo fun

#

cant wait to get into actual content and try the spec

so last boss NW

#

perma tricks

#

does it bug out the add

#

if u get sent down

#

cuz it just did for me

#

evade bug

lilac stag
#

Disable it

pliant topaz
#

youre not likely to always have sectech or coup up the very second its up to immediately use it.

tame terrace
pliant topaz
#

so your choice is either a random evis or a backstab

#

backstab is kekw

#

evis cb is bugged

#

so ...

lilac stag
#

The holding is just stupid

pliant topaz
#

okay but what else would u use it on?

lilac stag
#

I said what I said

pliant topaz
#

based

hazy breach
#

You can have dance+sectech for it but its a bit complicated

pliant topaz
#

i guess u can just use it on a backstab Surebud

pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

so how big of a loss is it if that second flag sectech cb doesn’t come back up in time due to kill time?

#

Vs just doing it every 45 ST

#

ie have we manufactured a condition where it’s a lot for little gain and only applicable with x amount of time

novel plaza
#

during SD window , when do i press blackpowder for multitar situation?

lilac stag
#

Never

@silent condor

Isnt flawless form up everytime? I thought it was triggered by one backstab or SS

Almost all the time yes

#

If its not up, backstab to proc it

Oki

torn island
#

Sorry if this is hella late but shadow dance got cut by two seconds?

#

Or am I having technical issues

hazy breach
#

No, you likely just forgot to spec improved dance

torn island
#

Oh ok

#

Should be 12 seconds right?

hazy breach
#

8 seconds

#

+4 if the first dance is procced

torn island
#

So 12 with first dance

prisma heron
#

eh.. I havent played sub since DF... do we just not use the old shuriken/black powder anymore? those details reports are throwing me lol

wind canopy
#

You don't if you're playing trickster

hazy breach
#

No bp if trickster ye

torn island
#

How yall feel about double vanish 12 stack macabre combos?

hazy breach
#

What

torn island
#

With death stalker

alpine wraith
#

what

hazy breach
#

No idea what youre referring to

torn island
#

I try to do damage by getting my full stacks of dance macabre and make sure my biggest damage dealers are towards the end

alpine wraith
#

oh

#

well that is not ideal

hazy breach
#

No idea how you'd get 12 stacks of macabre, nor why vanish would be used for it

torn island
#

I can get them, vanish would be to escape and do it again

hazy breach
#

What

#

Vanish doesnt grant macabre

#

Only shadow dance does

torn island
#

I know

#

Vanish would just be to escape after getting the 12th stack

#

@alpine wraith what would be ideal?

hazy breach
#

A. You absolutely should not try to get 12 stacks of macabre (nor is it possible)
B. Still have literally no idea what vanish would do

#

The only thing vanish does is proc premeditation

torn island
#

I already did it get 12 stacks

#

When you see the number on the icon that means the next ability gets that’s bonus correct?

#

I made it hit 13

#

did I just put my secret sauce?

#

Guys?

#

lol

hazy breach
#

Again, i dont understand what youre even talking about

torn island
#

lol

stone sedge
#

yo why does it says duskthread lining but in the sims its focus lense

runic sequoia
#

Do they mean 12 stack shadow techniques

#

Surely

torn island
#

I was just asking what your opinions are on using Max stacks for damage

hazy breach
#

Well to get more stacks you would have to use spells that do no damage

#

Which is worse than using spells that do damage

#

Like why use cheap shot to buff your eviscerates by 100k when you could do a 200k shadowstrike

#

Strike probably even does more than that

#

It does like 1M with rotten

alpine wraith
wind canopy
torn island
#

Ok, that makes sense, essentially it would be sacrificial to get the max bonus, with a max stack rupture you do 4.4 mil over 28 seconds

wind canopy
#

Max stack rupture?

hazy breach
#

Rupture doesnt snapshot the bonus

uneven scarab
hazy breach
#

Once dance ends the effects stops

torn island
#

Well then how I do 4.4 mil damage?

#

My damage sustains at that rate even after it ends

wind canopy
#

Do you have a log to prove that?

torn island
#

I can do it on command

#

lol

wind canopy
#

...

uneven scarab
torn island
#

💁🏽‍♂️

uneven scarab
#

i think you may be confused sir

torn island
#

Hmmm

#

I will take my confusion and go 🙂

hazy breach
#

Also i have no idea how you'd get 12 stacks as we only have 9 abilities that proc it

torn island
#

Gooday

hazy breach
#

10 with gauge i guess

torn island
#

I said gooday sir

#

xD

alpine wraith
#

nice to see we have our crazy people

wind canopy
#

Curious what he was hitting his sectecs for because I'm guessing he's waiting until the last minute to hit them thinking they snapshot with dance with the stuff he was talking about.

alpine wraith
#

nah sec tech is first finisher so rupture hits harder

#

surely

wind canopy
#

lol

#

13 abilities when you don't have that many as rogue. Trying to get 13 stacks when you don't have enough GCDs in dance outside the first dance (and assuming w/TFD)...

keen dome
#

Counting SecTecs three hits as 3 instead of 1?

#

That's all I can think of.

wind canopy
#

If he posted a screenshot of DM going to 13, maybe

#

Unless he was talking about Flawless?

torn island
#

If you bug me I’ll try and get the screen shot of the 13

swift tinsel
#

technically the burden of proof falls on you

torn island
#

But I 100% have been at this since dragon flight

#

Oh I mean technically yeah, but I also don’t need to prove myself for self gain. I was simply asking what the thoughts are in it

uneven scarab
#

bad

alpine wraith
#

usually it is just not worth to do

#

although it could make a cool highlight

bronze hatch
#

i think, monkey shakespeare

torn island
#

lul

alpine wraith
#

getting a 16m sec tech pogg

keen dome
#

It'd be worth seeing some logs of it.

#

But I doubt it's worth it, even if it was possible.

torn island
#

So answer me one question cause getting the 12 is a 100%

wind canopy
#

I mean, ultimately, you can do whatever you want. Your gameplay, but until you can provide proof with logs/screenshots/etc it actually does more damage than just saying "I can do 4.4 mil ruptures", it's gonna fall on deaf ears.

torn island
#

Idk if I can get the 13 again if I didn’t record it

hazy breach
#

Whats giving more than 1 stack

bronze hatch
#

ss or i had to poop

torn island
#

If there’s 11 stacks of dance macabre, does that mean the next ability used get 6% x 11 bonus?

hazy breach
#

While in dance yes

torn island
#

ok

wind canopy
#

Or prove the sequence of abilities you'd use to get to 13 stacks of DM

torn island
#

So you’re completely right with the snapshot as far as the 13th (or possibly 12th now that it’s more clear) I don’t recall if I tried rupture or sec tech

#

But in my current adventures, I’m trying to run a combo and get to 12 on the number of stacks before dance runs out

#

I mean you probably opted out of some abilities which would limit your stack gaining ability

#

For example I use shiv

wind canopy
#

Again, name the abilities you'd run to get there. And doing so with 8 seconds of Dance, with each GCD consisting of 1 sec.

hazy breach
#

Ig if you use shiv and goremaw

ember trail
#

how important is it to get your coup in symbols charger combo point? or doesnt it matter as long as sectech uses the charger points

hazy breach
#

But like bruh

hazy breach
ember trail
#

sweet, thanks

torn island
#

It would be 12 seconds of dance with the first dance bonus

#

And then I guess I only get 11 stacks

#

Not 12 😦

#

I have to try and find that 13

#

Honestly might be deleted though

#

Since I couldn’t keep her I just sent her on her way 😦

#

Made that go to 13 :’(

charred sandal
#

backstab, shadowstrike, evis, cheap, kidney, rupture, gouge, shiv, shuriken, storm, blackpowder and sec tec

#

12, but idk bout that

torn island
#

I’ll try and recreate the 13 and come back and post it so you guys can tell me how bad I am for going down that rabbit hole xD

charred sandal
torn island
#

You would have to space out your cheap and kidney

wind canopy
torn island
#

Stun lock if you will

#

😛

torn island
#

Well actually

wind canopy
#

Yeah, and that's like four seconds of doing no damage, so what was the point of taking TFD then?

torn island
#

Slice and dice does extend when you use it with dm stacks

#

okok I’m out to try and replicate the elusive 13 but I see my play style is frowned upon

#

lol

wind canopy
#

I mean, people have been trying to milk out DM stacks since it came out using sub-par abilities. Not sure why it'd change now

charred sandal
#

that was the good ol DF days

torn island
#

Especially since I’m a newer player lol

#

I don’t know these things

charred sandal
#

i mean it cant be worse than the combo point broker who was only using builders

grave abyss
#

but I get so much builder crit chance / crit damage from talents

#

why would I use anything else

fair zinc
#

If I already converted 2 conquest pieces to set with the catalyst, am I cooked if I wanted to gear for pve now?

#

Or does that not matter too much

#

Since what m+ level does vault drop mythic gear?

tawdry frigate

no m+ drops mythic

#

only vault

#

the fit raiders would throw

did we hit 13 stacks of danse?

regarding that danse macabre stacks

i think you guys forgot that pressing dance initially gives you FIRST DM stack

True, for his argument's sake peeposhrug

How did u achieve such high dmg, sir? 20 stacks of danse macabre?

Low damage group means I get to explode things in my cooldowns ICANT

#

Oh, ye. And here I thought u cracked the code and blasted some 13 stack Danse macabre super duper Combos 😂

jaunty umbra
#

thats the tech
play with shitters

lucid jackal
#

I mean this spec does damage

#

But in a low damage group u can just eat more of the damage up

#

Since this spec in CDs is broken

#

mists has mega downtime too so u get to afk on cds a bunch

strange chasm
#

Yeah it does very similar damage to sin sim wise for dungeon slice

gritty knot
#

I just recently went to Ara Kara +13 tonight and asked if they mind if I play sub or stay assa. I played Assa. First Boss the ret dies two times. Last boss hallway Tank dies, we wipe. We all run back and Shaman Heal falls through a hole in those webs and dies again. Until then I didn't fail or die a single time. Last boss I get killed by this poison wave shit accidently and healer dies shortly after too. Key depleted. One guy writes in group Chat: "Mr rogue u shouldn't play either Assa or sub. U have some srs other Problems." Like what da fuck 😂😂 That Shit hurt and still does 😂 Always blame rogues I guess

hazy breach
#

It actually does damage to bosses instead of doing like 750k

#

Mostly im a big fan of pressing my cds and seeing the boss HP just plummet

lucid jackal
#

Yeah its really satisfying to just kill something

#

Crazy, tornado is bad, and dust is removed and sub is so fun to play again

#

It's also funny that giving a spec blade flurry just makes it so much more fun to play

short radish
hazy breach
#

Thats why theyre doing it to like every spec

#

That theyre changing

lucid jackal
#

Blade Flurry Based

#

This is the build right

#

Or is FTD actually good

hazy breach
#

TFD is good

#

Or rather, tfd is okay

#

WM is bad

lucid jackal
#

Sure

#

What do u even take instead of wm then

hazy breach
#

Tfd

lucid jackal
#

Just keep veiled touch

hazy breach
#

Just swap WM > tfd

#

Doesnt break any pathing or anything, it just works

lucid jackal
#

Makes sense

hazy breach
#

(the WM extra strikes doesnt flurry btw :^) )

lucid jackal
#

Probs want to track it

#

at least an out of combat tracker

short radish
#

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

Eh, maybe but i figured you would mostly just get tilted by it

lucid jackal
#

LOL

hazy breach
#

It has a buff tied to it

short radish
#

i stole one from kieron or le

#

forgot which

hazy breach
#

So dont need a out of combat timer

short radish
#

but yeah TFD is kinda busted when you have it up

hazy breach
#

Just track the ticking down buff of it if you want

short radish
#

especially in court/dawn

#

i wonder if you have TFD

#

you can fit 3 sectech in

hazy breach
#

No

short radish
#

damn

hazy breach
#

Brother its not even close

short radish
#

i didnt do any math

#

this is why im not smart

#

dunno sometimes it feels you can just chain 3 dances with it though

#

probably shouldnt

hazy breach
#

You can do that without tfd

#

Since youll be having blades you dont actually get any more cp from tfd

#

Its just more damage

#

Or well technically i guess its like 1-2 strikes after blades end

gilded ferry
#

Greenparsing is so sad

But its mostly just the damage

lucid jackal
#

Sin is boring lame and cringe tho

#

I also just hate sin in low keys

#

Esp doing like, 5 main guild run 10s it's like

#

U gotta ramp

#

and then when ur ramped

#

The target ur focusing dies

#

At least with sub U can just move the bag to another target and still do good damage

#

No stupid, gotta reapp rupture/caustic

spark tusk
#

Yeah sub just goes

hazy breach
#

Sub feels a bit bad in that aspect as well since your cds are like 20s long so stuff can be dying before its over

#

But its way better than assa in that aspect

spark tusk
#

at least the cds are on u

#

and not the target

hazy breach
#

Ye

lucid jackal
#

Yeah its only when the entire pack dies

#

But idk

#

Just way more satisfying to play

#

Just fun to blow shit up

#

Been skipping last phase 2nd miscaller boss with sub cds + another person in disc to coordinate

#

Kinda funny

#

I'm struggling how to navigate flag tho

#

I think that's the thing I'm fucking up the most

pliant topaz
#

subs a fucking blast rn

lucid jackal
#

is it important to do Flag > finisher

#

cuz like

#

I keep instintually doing flag > finisher > shd/sod stuff

pliant topaz
#

not sure what you mean, you said u do flag> finisher both scenarios

lucid jackal
#

I just mean like

#

I see the sim sometimes do flag > backstab backstab finisher

#

I'm just unsure if its important to do flag finisher

tepid trellis
#

most important thing is to just get 2sectechs inside of flag / transmitter

pliant topaz
#

^
Flag backstab does sound like its wasting flag gcds which is weirdge. would need to look into that later and see whats causing it.

#

but yeah just get your entire burst during flag and youre chilling

is veiltouched better than planned execution?

hazy breach
#

Ontop of being actually just a bigger number than the orc one

jaunty heath
#

Im curious about VE

hazy breach
#

Depends on what "proc activation rate adjusted" means

#

Im fairly sure it means that its no longer a 60s ICD that procs immediately, but is instead a regular rppm proc

#

Which would probably make it worse, but hopefully the change the how it functions allows it to work on sectech, not holding my breath though

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

Its like 6.5k

pliant topaz
#

oh that coculd be decent for sure

hazy breach
#

Also the numbers on stat stuff on the new ring seems ass, but maybe spell data is scuffed and/or wrong

halcyon ridge
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

Like the total number of stats you'd get from slotting all of the stat bonuses doesnt add up to more than another ring of the equivalent ilvl, but maybe the ring is just silly high ilvl?

pliant topaz
#

that thing was turbo ass too

#

then they overbuffed it

hazy breach
#

Hopefully we can end up using the mastery stuff on it if thats the case and not be the proc gods

#

But since we have so much vers thats probably not gonna be the case

pliant topaz
#

its kinda interesting that thye learned and were like okay this things really bad for specs that want stat and really good for crit vers monkeys

#

now theyre doign both

#

im curious if they can figure it out

Just crafted a 636 mainhand dagger and i still have 90 more gilded crests, should i craft an offhand 636 or upgrade my other pieces first?

the rest of my gear are all 619

not sure how important ilvl is on sub rogue's offhand compared to ilvl on my tier sets and other equipment

tribal blade

no don't craft an offhand

tribal blade
unkempt trench

kk offhand literally just stat stick?

warm aspen
#

yup

unkempt trench
#

what do u guys craft for 2nd piece? bracers?

warm aspen
#

stat stick, except it has less stats than fking boots xD

tribal blade
#

you get more value out of upgrading myth track pieces

#

myth track items are very valuable right now

warm aspen
#

crafted is 636 for 90 gilded

#

mythic track is 639 for the same price

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

i have a 636 dagger and i'm still using a 619 free heroic crest 2nd embel

#

crafted this with a free heroic crest i got from something

unkempt trench
#

i might craft 636 bracer then since its bis and put elemental lens on it

tribal blade
#

and i'm just using all my crests to upgrade myth track pieces

warm aspen
#

ring's always gonna be a good slot

#

bcuz even if blizzard decides to fucking sodomize you with rng in ur next vault ur not wasting anything

tribal blade
#

you can put your 2nd embel on a slot that is the best place to put it how your gear is currently at

warm aspen
#

unlike if u craft like helm or somethin and then get myth track helm very next vault

unkempt trench
#

and is treacherous transmitter still bis? i checked on bloodmallet and its all the way at the bottom now

warm aspen
#

transmitter bis, bloodmallet is like

#

keep in mind we're getting the new ring in the patch

warm aspen
#

flat earther of rogue data site now

unkempt trench

so top 2 are transmitter and mad queen?

tribal blade
#

i think mad queen's is not as good as before

warm aspen
#

transmitter + delv knife trinket thingy

#

transmitter + contract

tribal blade
#

mad queen's isn't simming as well as it used to

warm aspen
#

all work

#

the 2nd trinket has a lot of flexibility right

tribal blade
#

because we have a fuckton of damage in cds now

warm aspen
#

so long as 1 of them is hur dur dur inbred minigame enforcer

#

ur set for dmg

tribal blade
#

yeah he right, so long as you have transmitter you can kinda put w/e in the 2nd slot

#

w/e sims best out of what you got

unkempt trench
#

transmitter worth upgrading to 626?

warm aspen
#

bro

#

lfr transmitter > any other trinket in game

#

at 639

unkempt trench
#

shit wow lmao

tribal blade
#

i dunno if it's worth sending gilded crests to upgrade a hero track piece

unkempt trench
#

i literally paid 100k to buy the hero version off some dude last week cuz my vault been trolling me since week 1

warm aspen
#

yeah there's literally 0 balance

#

between trinkets

tribal blade
#

you kinda need to play the long game with crests

#

don't just send upgrades on random stuff

warm aspen
#

transmitter alone is kinda worth it tho

tribal blade
#

possibly

#

but i'm solely using crests on myth track pieces

warm aspen
#

me too

#

except for my vault trinket

unkempt trench
#

well i have a whopping 0 myth track piece

warm aspen
#

that one

#

i upgraded

unkempt trench
#

will get one next week

tribal blade
#

so my transmitter is still 619 because i haven't gotten a single myth track trinket yet

warm aspen
#

see i think the difference between us is i dont even clear the raid on heroic lol

#

my RL bro finally let me go from his cringe heroics andy first time player raid

#

now i just have to carry keys to keep my 10k repairs/day

tribal blade
#

ahhh gotcha

warm aspen
#

so game just got less unfun, but i also just don't access raid loot anymore

tribal blade
#

i honestly don't know how to spend crests if you don't have access to a lot of myth track pieces

warm aspen
#

funny thing is, they set up gearing pretty well in that regard

unkempt trench
#

so u guys still use wowhead for bis gear?

warm aspen
#

if u get a good piece in vault u just max it that week and ur 90 is gone
