ornate quest
#

would my trinkets being used with shadow dance be a problem?

spark tusk
#

trinkets are ok but you would generally want to use them with Flag and/or blades

wind canopy
#

As long as you have them for your major CDs, should be fine…

spark tusk
#

depending on the trinket

#

not dance

wind canopy
#

If you ever delay CDs and then hit that dance macro, you’ve screwed yourself.

ornate quest
#

okay, so I should leave shadow dance out of a macro and have flagellation trigger my trinkets?

wind canopy
#

People do that, yeah

spark tusk
#

Flag is a much better choice, yes

#

If the trinket duration is very short then it may be better on shadowblades

hardy falcon
#

Flag is better to pair with trinket rather than SB ?

spark tusk
#

but either way, eitiher option would be way better than dance

ornate quest
#

okay, are there any other macros that would help in any way?

wind canopy
#

Not really

spark tusk

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

okay, Thanks for the help.

bro

#

symbols should reset on raid wipe

#

its frustrating

#

are you guys pre-symboling for prog or do u not bother until later prog

hazy breach
#

Ideally everytime but it obviously depends on when exacty you wipe and how many charges you had at that time etc

sinful sluice
#

coupdegrace 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

hazy breach
#

But if theyre not ready for the pull timer then dont shrugeg

spark tusk
#

Just don't release

spark tusk
#

until your charges are back

viral phoenix
#

ahhhh

spark tusk
viral phoenix
#

THATS BIG BRAIN

#

feign afk

#

every pull

spark tusk
#

"uhhh lagging"

#

"fish was at my door"

"Wasn't the fish at your door last pull?"

#

gotta start uploading a coup de grace highlight reel

#

when i first specced it, i didn't expect to die as much as i have died so far

sinful sluice
#

i mean how does force dash that you cannot control do any good between fights

#

hope they remove the dash feature tho

#

well i guess some ppl can track coup stacks and control it but my brains are too small to react to it

wind canopy
topaz raptor
#

exhilarating

hazy breach
#

The dash is especially egregious on Ansurek

wind canopy
#

Did you die at all because of the dash during Queen prog?

hazy breach
#

Like 3 or 4 times yes

#

Or well, it procced cheat atleast

wind canopy
hazy breach
#

If you step out for blades but accidently pressed eviscerate > charge right back into it

#

But also if youre midair after the knockup it charges you back to the ground, regardless of where in the arc of your knockup you are

#

So you just gotta wait until you land

wind canopy
#

"Why you dead?"
"Umm... Queen pulled me in"
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah, she pulled me in."

viral phoenix
#

you guys are running elusiveness for princes right?

#

cheat seems bad

hazy breach
#

Its fine either way, but ye sometimes cheat will just not work

wispy bolt
#

do we want anything from BRD?

hazy breach
#

Not really no

wispy bolt
#

#

not worth my time then

#

ah its in droptimizer ill sim

#

all downgrades OMEGAKEKW

hazy breach
#

Ye none of it has mastery

#

And all the other extra effects are stinky

strange chasm
#

You guys symbol pre pull or nah?

sinful sluice
#

always i think

rocky wolf
#

can i stack up my whole combo point bar out of combat? with supercharger

steel horizon
steel horizon
#

for open world content though you can stack it as high as u want lol

rocky wolf
#

ah yea

#

you right

sinful sluice
#

what do you guys think about taking cheat death on +12 keys?

hazy breach
#

I think you should take cheat death until you know for 10000% sure you will die without elusiveness

edgy zenith
#

why is Ovi'nax egg simming higher than contract?

hazy breach
#

So unless its like siege last boss or dawn minibosses with the shadow dot i dont think its needed until you go insano high

viral phoenix
#

do you still coup first then sec tech if conditions are met inside the big cooldowns or is the coup cdr too juicy

#

feels like i miss the second sec tech in buff window if i coup first in the big window

lament brook
#

Why does Overclokced gear a rang sim so high on bloodmallet? Is that a sim bug?

sinful sluice
#

cuz, i feel like i have enough vers that i can deal with dmg without elusivness and my only chance of dying is acidently stepping into big dmg or coup killing me

#

so i was considering it

lament brook
#

simmed it on raidbots and its trash, so is bloodmallet just entirely wrong for sub?

sinful sluice
#

yeah i heard that site is bugged

lament brook
#

its fine for other specs

uncut bloom
#

Fairly certain the profile on bloodmallet has 0 talents

rocky wolf
#

how do you guys use CDs on mythic court?

#

mainly on the 1st amp of p2

#

feels like a hold angle but it seems like a bit

lilac stag
lament brook
#

aah makes sense

#

how bad is it to macro symbols into my dance? feels like there would be a lot of times where you would want to dance and already have symbols up and dont want to waste uptime right?

uncut bloom
wind canopy
lament brook
#

Why do we blades after our secret tech in the opener? Is that just because tech hit is delayed so it still benefits if you use it right after?

merry agate
#

Sectec doesnt Benefit from blades

lament brook
#

but in the aoe rotation it has us use blades with dance

#

so why the difference

sharp kernel
#

What is the break point for backstab to shiriken storm?

lilac stag
#

backstab is reliant on flawless being up

#

if that's up 2+ is storm

edgy zenith
#

with tornado you have enough CDR to fit in the second sectech with just sending all buttons at the same time

#

where tf do I send second CB in Silken?

#

just on a random Evis/Coup during first damage amp?

lament brook
#

just a mistake then?

edgy zenith
#

yeah, probably

#

sims don't do that

lament brook
#

kk

lament brook
#

oh just so your next ss fills cps?

lucid jackal
#

Its why if you get a shadowcraft reset, you would actually go sectec > evis > blades

sharp kernel
short radish
#

!craft

#

!embelish

#

use the nerub one

#

that doubles

sharp kernel
#

!embellish

#

The ascendance and then the armor thing?

short radish
#

well

#

you either pick ascendance or grip

#

and then you do the nerub thing to double its effect

sharp kernel
#

Oh so I can use the armor thing on grip?

#

With grip**

short radish
#

yeah

sharp kernel
#

It's not a nerubian embelishment

#

Doesn't that matter

short radish
#

hmmm

#

wait

#

isnt it?

sharp kernel
#

It is not

short radish
#

oh it isnt

sharp kernel
#

It would clearly state it

short radish
#

guess you have to double weapon grip then

#

or 1 grip 1 focusing lens

sharp kernel
#

Could

short radish
#

either way

#

embelishments mean sweet fuck all

sharp kernel
#

Yea true

#

But the secondaries is better then nothing

sinful sluice
#

is there specific parts where i can use shadowstep or cloak of shadows to avoid dmg loss/evade gimmicks in m+?

#

also in 2nd boss of boralus, why does my cloak of shadows sometimes blocks fiery ricochet and sometimes not? cant tell the difference

golden totem
#

I have one ascendance and one lens it's 0.1% lower than double lens, embellish are very close

viscid ocean
vale pine
#

you can lable it as exploit, but i don't think the chance of getting banned from doing so is high. We are too late in the season for anyone to lose their mind because you saved a few crests

#

whats the question

jovial jacinth
#

hi guys, a question, has anyone spotted a bug in necrotic wake on the last boss' add? every single time when i'm being sent down to kill an add, it just goes straight into the wall and then keeps evading. I either kill him before he reaches a wall or he keeps evading and i have to wait for like a minute to get back up

#

i was wondering if this is a sub problem, a rogue problem or just me

hollow crescent
#

so im finally giving trickster a go after playing deathstalker for all content since the expac came out, do i ever use shuriken storm or bp? or is it purely using you ST cd's

spark tusk
#

It’s your blade flurry, so your builders are:

  1. strike in dance
  2. storm if nimble flurry IS up
  3. backstab if nimble is not up
wind canopy
jovial jacinth
#

niice thanks for the info 🙂

gray zephyr
#

You must turn off tricks of the trade for that boss

spark tusk
jovial jacinth
#

totally makes sense thanks

hollow crescent
jovial jacinth
#

and about the shuriken storm, is it worth to u use either storm or backstab during dance? or simply sectech and strike evi?

#

wondering about the stacks

vale pine
#

both are too weak to make up for the loss

jovial jacinth
#

kk thanks for the info

vale pine
#

on deathstalker, you will use storm in dance in aoe

#

for trickster, always shadowstrike

jovial jacinth
#

talking about the trickster

vale pine
#

you essentially use storm on 3+ targets outside of dance

#

and backstab if you lose flawless form

#

to get it back up

#

thats about it

sinful sluice
#

You never have to backstab in stealth right?

vale pine
#

no

sinful sluice
#

I just replace my backstab key to shadowstrike in my stealth bar

green niche
#

Is the difference between trickster and Deathstalker big in both raid and m+? I'm not sure I'm feeling trickster...

vale pine
#

think of it like this

#

if there is one target, you are free to decide

#

if you have clave you want to play trickster

#

if there is a lot of very long living mobs you want deathstalker

#

each hero talent has their trade offs

#

deathstalker is also a good choice if you want a more traditional play style

pallid prawn
#

out of interest, do u know why crit as a stat lost so much value in comparison to s1 and s2 df fuu ?

vale pine
#

thats easy to explain

#

in season 1 and 2 of dragonflight

#

we didn't have find weakness baseline

#

so we relied on these two talents to apply find weakness

#

backstab and shuriken storm

#

if you remember, we even played silent storm and used shuriken storm to apply find weakness in the opener

#

but 10.2 moved to more emphasize on shadowdust and big cooldowns

#

and find weakness became our initial node, removing the dependency

#

all in all means, you get less benefits from critical strike

#

there are some other factors too, e.g. talent changes, but having find weakness guaranteed up without critical strike is one of the bigger ones that lead to the stat becomming less relevant

shy ermine
#

Losing seal fate and being able to use gloomblade every gcd too

upper narwhal
#

Crit is also extra combo point generation which isn’t needed inside shadowblades at all

pallid prawn
#

ty for explaining @vale pine

vale pine
#

seal fate is def. another important point i forgot to mention

vale pine
upper narwhal
#

Ye meant was mb

vale pine
#

oh no, you mentioned nothing wrong ^^

hybrid bluff
#

someone know how much more dmg 10combo points do compared to 7?
Feel weird to press Technique as first gcd after entering dance window

green niche
vale pine
#

don't need to

#

it is up most of the time

#

using backstab outside of dance to get form back is rly not a big damage diffrence

#

means, your overall performance in a key will stay the same even if you don't optimize for these 0.5% dps

keen dome

Whowhoahoahoahoha. It happened

Just normal though

NICUUU

!transmitter

wicked joltBOT
#

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

Orb running away inside blue team at court Laughge Laughge Laughge Laughge

spark tusk
#

Honestly I prefer the other two when it’s not messy on the ground

keen dome
#

Ye

spark tusk
#

Jumping adds three extra button presses that have to be woven in

#

Also I use my thumb as part of pressing some modifiers like alt

keen dome
#

Easy for me 'cos the bottom of my palm rests on spacebar, so jump a quick taptapap without moving my hand at all

spark tusk
#

So trying to press jump with space bar and any modifier keys on alt is a challenge

#

Oh I see

#

My palm rests further left

keen dome
#

I'm a sinister person so my right-hand is my keyboard hand. thumb on ctrl, etc.

vestal escarp
#

All three are annoying in different ways

spark tusk
#

Which is what I use to press ctrl for binds

vestal escarp
#

My guess is it's their way of nerfing steroid trinkets this early in expac

spark tusk
#

Yeah

keen dome
#

Yeah

spark tusk
#

I really preferred branch to this

keen dome
#

Same

#

Also the little mini-game of extending branch

#

Honestly Smolderon's was the goat.

#

It had a great animation. Push button get buffed

spark tusk
#

Thirsty little good bois faithfully found me

#

Unlike the transmitter orb

#

Which just does whatever it wants

keen dome
#

Haha yeah

tribal blade
#

the other day i had to jump 3 times right as daggers went out on kyveza

#

was mid jump

#

got daggered right to the face because i couldn't readjust mid air

keen dome
#

What's the ideal timing for it? Spawn it just prior to burst then run into / jump / stand and hit cooldowns?

#

Or during flag opening?

tribal blade
#

you can spawn it before flag

vale pine
tribal blade
#

since it'll exist for a while

#

even w/o picking it up

vestal escarp
#

Optimal optimal optimal would be conpleting the task as you press shb

spark tusk
#

I have been trying (and generally failing) to finish the task immediately before first sectec

keen dome
#

Nod

vestal escarp
#

Sectech would still get buffed

keen dome
vestal escarp
#

Clones at least

uncut bloom
#

I changed to dracthyr and the jump 3 times has killed me in a key as I’ve glided into swirlies

keen dome
#

Oh noooo

#

That's a really funny point

tribal blade
#

you can even spawn it on pull if you ant

vale pine
#

its only visual tho

tribal blade
#

like 1 gcd after pull

#

works

vale pine
#

i am lazy

tribal blade
#

so long as the boss isn't going to move too far

vale pine
#

i bind transmitter to flag

spark tusk
#

Same

tribal blade
#

i like to have it not bound

#

so i can preplan which direction i'm facing

vale pine
#

probably the smarter option

keen dome
#

Ye, I have a trinket button I've got muscle memoried so I'll probably leave it unbound.

#

Uh, unmacro'd.

vale pine
#

but my lazyness wins

vestal escarp
#

Sub might not even have a 90s steroid next patch

#

Dark times ahead

tribal blade
#

in M+ it's an absolute clusterfuck of a trinket

keen dome
#

Thanks for the WA, this is very helpful

spark tusk
vale pine
#

not forshadowing anything

tribal blade
#

hot tip, click off levitate before you use it

#

or else the jump thing takes twice as long to complete

vestal escarp
#

Hmm i imagined tiersets would get progressively stronger honestly

near rivet
#

you can jump-shadowstep if you want to speedrun task

uncut bloom
near rivet
#

like jump-shadowstep-jump-shadowstep

tribal blade
#

so i was levitated on pull on kyveza

#

and got the jump 😦

vestal escarp
#

Bro legit griefed btw

uncut bloom
keen dome
#

hahaha

tribal blade
#

we had no idea that was actually a thing

vestal escarp
tribal blade
#

if it's actually harmful to prog he won't do it

#

it's funny, sin has so many different talent variations you can run in M+ right now

#

it's a lot

#

and sub you can swap out 1-2 talents from the standard build

#

but for the most part it's set in stone

#

what happens when the talent tree doesn't have good variety

keen dome
#

Yeah. And it's basically the same as the raid build too.

tribal blade
#

exactly

#

i've been trying every build that i see top sin rogues running

#

and they're all within very similar amounts of dps

keen dome
#

That's interesting

tribal blade
#

it's more so what you play better

#

it's why you look down the list and almost every sin rogue has a different build from each other

keen dome
#

Pretty cool, honestly

vestal escarp
#

Simple strong talents in the right positions make a difference

tribal blade
#

yep sin's tree is very strong

#

in that regard

lilac stag
#

In other regards too

tribal blade
#

the 1 advantage sub has is keeping a lot of ST damage while only needing to swap a few things out for aoe

#

but i dunno if that's actually intended or just a side effect

#

i have the feeling blizz didn't 4-d chess that

vestal escarp
#

Aoe rn is one hero talent thats always locked in and sectech

#

You cant talent out of your main aoe dmg engines

lilac stag
#

I’ve stayed sub for ovi and it feels good. At least with our comp I’m cranking boss dmg and not falling too far off overall.

tribal blade
#

maybe i'll try sub out the next time we reclear

#

on ovi

vestal escarp
#

I went sub at ovinax for 2 reclears to help with parries

#

Even if it's borderline exploiting

tribal blade
#

eh it's not a huge exploit

vestal escarp
#

Fight lasts too long for sub to feel strong to me

tribal blade
#

and also it's just playing the spec as intended

vestal escarp
#

Sin has an insane spike at 6 mins with execute and bl

lilac stag
#

We’re still progging, but 10-11% of overall boss dam. Curious what happens at the 6 min mark. Lol

vestal escarp
#

It rivals with spymaster casters

tribal blade
#

ovi isn't really a damage check boss anyways

#

it's a mechanics check

lilac stag
#

We got WA shuffle bus last night

vestal escarp
#

You can skip some nasty eggs with good boss dmg

lilac stag
#

I’m so over the WA bosses

vestal escarp
#

Oh yeah

tribal blade
#

yeah ovi is a miserable addon boss

lilac stag
#

Actually ruining my enjoyment of raiding

tribal blade
#

the start of every raid night on ovi was "EVERYONE CHECK YOU UPDATED TO THE LATEST NORTHERN SKY UPDATE"

#

and then of course 1 person forgets

vestal escarp
#

Rl with snitch wa

tribal blade
#

also we had some raiders running some other addon that was fucking up marking people with egg breaks

lilac stag
#

It was still having issues last night.

vestal escarp
#

Octopals verifier something something

#

Im on phone rn

#

Soz bro

lilac stag
#

K

#

Everyone needs it? Or just RL?

vestal escarp
#

Rl checks your addons and wa versions

lilac stag
#

Apparently me putting NS wa in a folder reported to MRT that my version was out of date

vestal escarp
#

This stuff is annoying as hell

#

Neltharion fyrakk etc etc

tribal blade
#

they keep making mechanics that are borderline impossible to coordinate properly without weakauras

#

to tell you where to go

#

and then their solution was "oh hey, let's private aura everything"

#

i'm thinking if you could do the egg breaks on ovi without weakauras

#

i don't think it's possible

vestal escarp
#

Hm with nerfed timer you probably could

tribal blade
#

lol yeah would have to be mega nerfed timer

vestal escarp
#

Its 8 sec to get into position

#

I meant with current nerfed timer

#

But the worm in the middle of the eggs ruins everything

#

You cant really eyeball the mechanic even tho on paper you could

tribal blade
#

i dunno, it would take serious coordination to be able to do it on the fly

#

like to be able to quickly decide the 2 people to be at each egg

#

it would be a mess of 8 people trying to talk in discord

vestal escarp
#

Like, 8s is a lot but still visibility is a mess

tribal blade
#

you sometimes barely make it to your egg even with the WA telling you where to go

lilac stag
#

At this point at our gear level princess looks better to prog on

tribal blade
#

it is better

#

100%

vestal escarp
#

Princess very slick boss

lilac stag
#

This is just misery

tribal blade
#

once you get used to how the mechanics hit

#

princess is mostly scripted

vestal escarp
#

Lot of personal responsibility but group griefing is low

tribal blade
#

well...

#

the amount of times i've been killed by my guildies putting orbs down the middle of the room

#

is very high haha

vestal escarp
#

Yeah but just let them learn mechanics

tribal blade
#

i actually brought it up on our last raid night and my RL agreed it's a problem

#

i was seriously struggling with daggers for a while

#

until i learnt you can legit just walk off the boss

#

and never get hit by her shotgun ever again

lilac stag
#

walk off?

tribal blade
#

yeah move off boss

#

when daggers go out

#

because she shoots out a set from herself

lilac stag
#

ah gotcha

tribal blade
#

and if you're in melee range there's a chance it's pointed at you

vestal escarp
#

First set is a frontal basically

tribal blade
#

and if you're directly on her it's highly likely you ave 0 time to move

waxen lotus
#

So I have a question Fuu's guide recommends Versatility flask, but Alchemical Chaos is simming much higher from me. Do I trust the sim or is it baiting me by lining up good stats during burst windows?

lilac stag
#

AC good

tribal blade
#

the most frustrating part of princess is how fast those daggers hit

#

it's REALLY fast

#

shockingly fast

#

haha yea yday i died to some invisible daggers

because i moved as the line disappeared

what's really bad as well is the eclipse during intermission

edgy zenith
#

where do you send second CB in Silken?

#

on an Evis/Coup in damage amp or just with naked SoD after?

#

or if you hold sectech during amp until CB is up, do you not lose a cast?

rocky wolf
#

how do you guys use flag on mythic silken? on the 2nd flag ive been using it on tall boi and then use everything else on the beetle after he charges. but in p2 it seems harder to use it on CD and its a pretty long hold to wait for all the dispells

hazy breach
#

You dont need to wait for all the dispels, every dispel gives the boss more damage taken

rocky wolf
#

oooooh

livid olive
#

+1

hazy breach
#

Its +20% dmg taken per dispel

livid olive
#

Did not realise that for too long myself pepelafington

rocky wolf
#

i can be max melee and not fuck with the dispells right?

livid olive
#

Yeh

#

as long as people actually go fully under

hazy breach
#

Should be able to be in just regular melee range as well, but yes being max range is safer

#

If people are lazy and dont go right under

rocky wolf
#

were still fucking up the pull in dance anyway but this is good thanks

edgy zenith
#

eleem help

hazy breach
#

Well CB doesnt work on evis

#

Idk as long as you have it for your second sectech in the second amp its fine to send it on either sectech or coup earlier

willow aurora
#

guys why is that stonevault trinket sims that high for sub on bloodmallet?

hazy breach
#

Because the profile is simming without talents

edgy zenith
#

how do sims work with Broodtwister egg trinket?

#

just perma main stat no movement or?

hazy breach
#

It just randomly rotates

edgy zenith
#

so it's actually a pretty good trinket for sub?

#

was simming higher than contract

#

and mandate

hazy breach
#

Its fine

edgy zenith
#

is it sim bait kinda though?

hazy breach
#

No

#

I mean it sims the same as contract

Use it if you want to

there are some parts that are outdated though

so i wasnt sure what is and what isnt outdated

(like the first part when going on rotation where sepsis is still present and its saying to use sod on cd)

#

how i understand it, is to send sectec on cd with symbols and in cds with 2 dances and maybe two or three dances in between cooldowns?

lilac stag
#

Depends on boss

You want 2 sod / st / dance every flag

The link I posted

#

For rotation

#

In the intro

vale pine
#

oh, i thought i removed that

#

interessting

#

must be some versioning problem

lilac stag
#

True to sub, things magically break each edit.

vale pine
#

removed it

#

i probably should re-write it

#

to put secret as the core element

#

because you technically align things to it

fiery fog
#

btw does this still work? when i go into meld i can only use backstab

vale pine
#

you should be able to use strike

lilac stag
#

Is multi target correct with the use of sblades, or is that image relying on tornado?

vale pine
#

unless something broke

lucid jackal
#

Has anybody else been noticing their vanish keeps insta breaking

#

Is there any way to avoid this from happening

lilac stag
#

don’t spam strike immediately

fiery fog
vale pine
lucid jackal
lilac stag
#

You’re likely stabbing

fiery fog
lucid jackal
#

That can't be the case because SS and BS have different keybinds for me

vale pine
#

you got a trinket bound to vanish?

lucid jackal
#

Nop

vale pine
fiery fog
#

your character probably starts autoattacking while in stealth

lucid jackal
#

Most likely

#

Do I need a stop attacking macro

lilac stag
#

what do logs show is happening?

fiery fog
#

thats what gave me a 8 log on princess because i had to play without hero talents for 2 minutes lmao

lucid jackal
#

I wouldnt be able to find a log of it happening since I barely use vanish outside of opener, save it mostly for utility

vale pine
#

it should atomatically /stopattack when using vanish

#

unless that broke

lilac stag
#

my assumption without having anything to actually look at is it’s a spell que issue

fiery fog
#

this is what happens to me sometimes and i think its an issue with rightclicking the frame of the unit you are targeting (its assa i know but also getting put out of stealth)

lilac stag
#

be it from spamming or hitting an attack too soon after vanish

alpine wraith
#

normal vanish breaks on any dmg

#

or some things like monk statue etc etc

lilac stag
#

Yea monk still fucks

#

Which is hilarious

fiery fog
#

with meld

#

in range as in melee range

vale pine
lilac stag
#

Teleport is only true stealth

vale pine
#

yes

fiery fog
#

ah

vale pine
#

it works like this

timid jolt
#

Why do we need 2 dance for flag btw? Just for my understanding

vale pine
#

if you are in combat with a boss

#

you can't enter stealth after

#

but outside of this

#

you can press stealth

#

which would give you the extra benefits for strike too

#

so e.g. in a mythic+ dungeon you can meld - stealth during pakcs

alpine wraith
#

super easy to check on ky veza and other bosses

#

that do dmg early on

alpine wraith
#

if you press vanish and take dmg before using strike it is joever

lucid jackal
#

Backstab and SS are on different keybinds

alpine wraith
#

unlucky

lucid jackal
#

Why would spamming SS after vanish cause me to break early

vale pine
lilac stag
#

get a log otherwise it just speculating.

alpine wraith
#

it happens to me too sometimes

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

yea just we have been using subterfuge for a while

#

not anymoe tho

#

i mean if you did some pvp without subter you should be kinda used to it

lilac stag
#

can probably recreate it on a tank dummy

vale pine
#

if improved vanish is not working propperly

#

then they broke the spell

alpine wraith
#

surprised?

#

also it is not only dmg that breaks it btw

#

some spells from allies also krangle it can also be those ones

lilac stag
#

monk statue is easiest to recreate.

vale pine
#

its not in the tooltip

#

so i assume they did introduce some bugs

#

unless "improved stealth" is the mentioned effect

#

maybe its a race condition

#

when the damage event comes in before improved vanish applies

vale pine
#

some trinkets put you out of improved vanish

#

friendly spells shouldn't, but i remember some having this problem

finite elk
#

For embelishment on wrist what is suggested on wowhead is elemental or dusk

#

is there a difference?

vale pine
#

2x iris is the most neutral option

#

silken is about on par if you get good uptime

#

embellishments are very close to each other so can go with more or less your prefered

finite elk
#

ok thx

mental comet
#

which embel for M+? 2x iris or 2x dusk? i crafted ascension/writhing early but looking to replace

alpine wraith
#

for m+ double dusk is usually the best

pliant topaz
#

It was broken like this on ptr too

#

Still broken

alpine wraith
#

krangled ones

vale pine

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
lucid jackal
#

Is engi bracer better than any other bracer in the game btw

#

Almost bis so trying to figure out the last few slots to minmax

#

Unsure if the mastery/haste bracers from raid end up being better cuz +3 ilvls, or the engi bracers because its 1 stat

vale pine
#

they are close

#

but you can put your embellishment on bracers

alpine wraith
#

i like engi mastery bracer

#

BIG CRITS

hazy breach
#

Vers+mastery crafted is pretty much identical in sims as well shrugeg

alpine wraith
#

yea but big crits man

#

also talking about those progging silken and i never crit mandate

#

AAAAAAAAA

#

do you wait for first dispel in p2 to use mandate

#

or just send on cd

lucid jackal
#

Cuz I have these

#

But theres no real good bracers in the game rn for sub

hazy breach
#

To the engi ones

lucid jackal
#

So I'm unsure if its just these, or crafted, either normal or engi

hazy breach
#

Probably crafted eventually

#

But if you already have those no point wasting crests rn unless you have everything else upgraded already

strange chasm
#

I have 2 myth rings. It's probably better to slam those to 639 than upgrade my last crafted piece to 636?

lucid jackal
#

Yeah its like a 2 week solution lol

#

Orlike something I fix in 2 weeks

vestal escarp
#

void elf bis in 0.7?

vale pine
#

possible

vestal escarp
#

race is cosmetic anyway

alpine wraith
#

depends which rings they are

#

we are kinda skewed towards vers/mastery

#

other spreads are a bit weaker

#

even at 639 vs a crafted ring

lilac stag
#

626 to 639 boe was like 8k for me. Seemed rather lackluster.

alpine wraith
#

yea but vs a for ex haste crit ring

#

know what happens?

#

boom 20k

lilac stag
#

mmhm

alpine wraith
#

i mean those numbers are not as big as we think

#

it is like 1.x or less

#

but still the diff is enough

lilac stag
#

I’ve got boots I’m waiting to up until another cata charge

alpine wraith
#

rn im in gilded crest jail

lilac stag
#

I may just make vers/mas neck

alpine wraith
#

i did

lilac stag
#

We likely kill court once

alpine wraith
#

didnt ever drop court neck

strange chasm
#

I've got the dawn ring and boe ring

alpine wraith
#

reclearing court is not that hard it seems

strange chasm
#

Nothing left to upgrade other than these or last crafted piece

alpine wraith
#

damn i still have a long way road

lilac stag
#

well timeline wise o expect is to extendo at that point.

alpine wraith
#

have to upgrade trink 2 crafted items

strange chasm
#

Yeah I'm full 639 other than rings and crafted wrist

alpine wraith
#

big blasta

#

i have crafted ring crafted neck wrists and boots

#

boots are 619 rn

#

but i still have so many gilded to use

lilac stag
#

daggie, wrists and ring are 636. Neck next I think.

alpine wraith
#

oh true dagger too

#

in other news we have the sheet again almost there now time to make it prettier

alpine wraith
#

some things are still tied to cdr but the write up for general use also works

static juniper
alpine wraith
#

only in special circumstances i have a bit of an explanation above this thing but mostly it is what eleem wrote too

left ledge
#

I send sectec out of dance on the naked symbols set

#

Don’t see a point in holding it

#

You get it back for cds

static juniper
#

++

left ledge
#

Sub is pretty lenient rn

#

Just make sure you have 2 charges of sod and dance for cds

#

Rest is pretty flexible I feel

static juniper
#

for the couple of days i am playing the spec I noticed moments where i was sure i would have gotten sectech back for SD, but did not try to risk it

#

as i was confident doing it back in df s1 since we used sectech later in SD window

left ledge
#

If you’re ever sending symbols naked

static juniper
#

rather than first

left ledge
#

You can probably sectec

alpine wraith
#

you have to know the encounter

#

if you get some downtime you cant get sec tech back

left ledge
#

Yeah ofc

static juniper
#

yeah, i guess it will come with experience

#

having a blast with sub tho...a fresh air from healing this tier/season 😄

left ledge
#

As you prog a fight you’ll eventually see this period of time where you’re just backstabbing forever

#

If you have like 20sec of just backstabbing because you’re waiting for flag

static juniper
#

currently playing it as an alt, but i would definitely consider it as a main next tier if i raid

pliant topaz
#

so it does send a fully naked no sod nothing sectech as long as it can get it back by flag

#

sectech is just an insnae amunt of damage per cast. its the damage itself + tier effect for rupture/future evis + 2 UB hits (which htye hit hard) + 3 flawless form stacks + potentially fazed buff

#

its a big button

pliant topaz
#

so we maximize it

left ledge
#

Makes sense

#

Yeah past opener you also get that naked sod timing but without the sod charge so it’s full naked sectec

lilac stag
#

Dot5 sub is playing around sectech

alpine wraith
#

yea the cb thing is a bit weird we have 2 situations that are kinda close but both can be annoying to do

left ledge
#

But I just didn’t know how to explain it without going deep into cd timers

lilac stag
#

2-1-naked repeat

pliant topaz
#

yea its a bit cursed. once i get some time in 2 weeks Imight try to rewrite the apl in terms of sod/dance charges remaining rather than strict timers

#

might be better idk

lilac stag
#

I will say I don’t feel like shit holding stuff when needed. Ghuun f.ex

alpine wraith
#

the only possible win i saw was the not sending dance sec tech if CB is like 8-9 secs away

#

but eleem found the using cb on second sec tech in cds now

#

so idk if that stands

#

as the cd becomes discombulated on the middle

#

so in theory you can use it once between

#

BUT it has to be as it comes of cd almost

#

at least for ky veza and sikran rn it is not work same with court (because of mechanics btw)

#

if anyone is on queen try it and tell me

alpine wraith
#

Also in another things i do the 2 tank 3 heal strat so we skip lots of eggs at the end but how does this look now

#

This is ovi nax mythic

spark tusk
#

nice

#

what do you mean by All Dances are doubles?

#

Like every time dance is on the map it means you use them for both sectecs?

grave abyss
alpine wraith
#

ok everything ready now we go PoE

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

i mean withouth the explanation it is the most i could try to just put there

keen dome
#

Ye, it's really solid imo

leaden prairie
#

why is the cp refound delayed

#

sometimes

#

sub sucks

alpine wraith
#

coup can refun on any of the 3 hits

#

so even if you begin with low sht it can go to 7 and refund

pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

and also the RS bug

pliant topaz
#

been bugged since 10.2 Surebud

leaden prairie
#

not coup

pliant topaz
#

its RS bug

#

delays refund

leaden prairie
#

waht

#

im confused

pliant topaz
#

yes

leaden prairie
#

im not pressing rupture

pliant topaz
#

if u have this talented, refunds get delayed

#

doesnt matter

#

what youre pressing

leaden prairie
#

uuh

#

ok

pliant topaz
#

as long as youre talented in it

#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
pliant topaz
#

its in there

leaden prairie
#

how much of a loss is it to not use this talent in m+

pliant topaz
#

pretty big loss

#

but if it makes u feel any better, kush pushed without this in 10.2 as sub

#

cuz it tilted the fuck out of him

leaden prairie
#

i mean its tilting me a lot

#

I feel like im playing bad

#

but im not

#

well i am

#

but thats unrelated

lilac stag
#

Just play sht

#

You won’t notice a dif

#

And be less tilted

pliant topaz
#

it is a generally big damage loss

#

but also the delay is roughly 0.2 seconds

#

so if ur ping is low enough/ youre fast enough u can try to play around it

#

which is litearlly sstage 4 space aidds

lilac stag
#

I waste more cps from the delay. lol

pliant topaz
#

but thats sub

leaden prairie
#

I mean my weak aura is doing a sound if my cp is refounded 0.3s after

#

and it doesnt do a sound on that one

#

so its prolly refounding 0.5s later

#

thats a lot

lilac stag
#

Mmhm

#

idk where the .2 is coming from

#

I’m 6-10ms from the server and that shit is so fucking annoying

leaden prairie
#

i trained myself to just react to the cp refound

#

like on outlaw

#

cause i think its more fun

hazy breach
#

it can refund during the entire gcd from what i know

#

Its just whenever you get 7 sht

leaden prairie
#

but with this bug i cant do that its tilting me

lilac stag
leaden prairie
#

also

#

on that second finisher

#

it procs

#

the moment i press the finisher i hav 6

#

not even 7

#

i get the 7th after the finisher

#

so you cant even try to be ready for it !

#

actual ass

#

wtf

hazy breach
#

You can be if you just hold it a little bit if youre at 5 or 6 sht

#

But ye its ass

alpine wraith
#

yea that is an rs thing

left ledge
#

yeah

#

it happens with coup too

#

its very fkin annoying

#

because sht isnt consistent either

scarlet void
#

hello, I'm trying to find out if it's possible to create an SSS spam macro without using all Death Symbol at once? lol

hazy breach
#

!symbols

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

hazy breach
#

Damn thats not it

#

Hmm

lethal gale

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

hazy breach

#

OMMMMMMMMMMMG

#

u're my god

#

Thanks ❤️

#

So I guess it works with all spells of this kind?

wind canopy
#

Yeah

#

I know DKs use it with Death’s Advance

merry agate
#

why is shadowcraft so inconsistent 😦 sometimes after coup it takes like a second to trigger it and sometimes instant after press....and sometimes in opener it doesnt even work at all

#

drives me nuts sometimes wasting so many cp's

green niche
#

Ok so I'm trying to learn sub after years of assa... It's growing on me

#

But like we have 3 sod

#

But only 2 shadow dance....

#

Does that mean I should use 2sod with 2 dances

#

And then one sod just with nothing?

#

Chain it all?

merry agate
#

you skip one dance before cd's get ready

#

just sod + sectec so you have 2 when you send cds again

green niche
#

Ohhhh so I don't shadow dance immediately you mean I keep shadow dance for next CDs?

merry agate
#

basically 2 dances for cd's....1 dance sod sectec then 1 sod sectec and then the cyccle repeats

green niche
#

When you say CDs u mean SB and Flag right?

merry agate
#

aye

green niche
#

Oh ok I like that. 2 dances for CDs ok

merry agate
#

some quirks are still there to fix 😛 but overall it feels pretty nice

green niche
#

To me what's wild is the constant full bar of combo points

green niche
#

It's somewhat unnerving even

merry agate
#

nice writeup 🙂

green niche
#

We don't have that in assa ahaha

merry agate
#

in dance its hectic and every second counts then it slows down like hell but i like that 😄

green niche
vale pine
#

you want to use 2x symbols, 2x secret 2x dance every time with your big boys

#

(flagellation/blades)

#

and between them, you play around secret techniques cooldown

#

so you use symbols with secret on low cooldown left (8 sec or lower)

#

and can use secret first or 2nd finisher in dance

#

only time you need to think a bit more is closer to your big cooldowns

#

you might want to use a symbols blank with secret, or delay your cooldowns

green niche
#

Ok thanks! I'll try thinking that way

Question: What does our dmg breakdown look like

#

So you want the second pair of dance and symbols with flag/blade yeah?

# vale pine whats the question

I was trying to find your post that contained the overrides for simming consumes, I was sure they were in the #tc-research channel but I couldnt find it anywhere - turns out I had the pins in that channel scrolled down 1 post, and couldn't see it was the very top pin kekW

torn island
#

I can’t believe y’all gonna nerf my shadow dance

#

I cannot belibbb it

quaint lodge
torn island
#

What is this 10 sec bs

#

I cannot get jiggly with dis!

#

jiggy*

near rivet
#

damn

#

kinda bricked key

#

due to coup bug, since i used it on evading mob

#

how do i unfuck myself?

#

alt+f4 didnt worked

topaz raptor
#

what happens? you can't use any moves anymore?

#

i assume dying would fix it

near rivet
#

yea, it fixed

#

basically

#

when you use coup on evading mob

#

it doesnt consume escalting blade stacks

#

and you cand do coup

alpine wraith
#

alt f4 should fix it

#

every time it happened to me it was fixed

near rivet
#

didnt helped

#

but died and depleted

#

and death fixed it

sinful sluice
#

if you have full cp and have about 2 seconds left until cd, do you just release evis and stack cp up again or wait for it and release evis after pressing dance/symbols?

alpine wraith
#

you wait

#

but also you want to send sec tech first

sinful sluice
#

why is that tho

#

i do send sec tech first, but i just didnt know why

#

cuz before patch i thought i send tech after evis for passive stacks

alpine wraith
#

just it does more dmg

#

dont think too much

#

you want to get it on cd asap

#

and it also gives more coups and extra unseens

tribal blade
#

coup now gives more cdr, which changes things quite a bit

wooden kernel
#

is there any reason its ss>flag>evis rather than ss>flag>rupture?

#

for building before cd's in ST opener?

alpine wraith
#

evis gives snd

steel horizon
#

we cookin boys

wooden kernel
#

so im doing (full cd's + Flag/trink + Blades > Dance/Symbols> Dance/Symbols> naked symbols repeat

is this correct?

#

and are you sending the naked symbols for pandemic w last one or no?

misty condor
#

Given the choice between two identical item levels, would you guys say Shadow Binding Ritual Knife or Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg is the better trinket?

pliant topaz
#

the main trinket u need is transmitter

lucid jackal
#

Egg is pretty forgiving

#

A lot of fights are pretty movement heavy

misty condor
sinful sluice
#

Cot feels so nice to play sub

lucid jackal
#

Sub literally needs transmitter

#

Its the best burst spec in the game, and it's a 1:30 cd trinket

sinful sluice
#

You get full flag cds every pull before 2nd boss

lucid jackal
#

Sin can skardans instead

#

Since u hold transmitter for 30 for deathmark

#

But sub doesn't have an alternative

sinful sluice
#

Yeah 1:30 burst fits so nicely

uncut bloom
tropic rapids
#

Is it worth to use more than once SoD before pull?

alpine wraith
#

nope only 2 chargers stay

unique remnant
#

ok crew.... I have been having an occasional, but similar, effect occurring to me on sub rogue in mythic + dungeons. Occasionally I will get gripped/hooked/displaced back towards a mob. This is usually occurring when I am running away from something, like a swirly. I cannot think of anything that would be causing this, and it does not seem to be my casts. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

See the video here for an example in grim batol... but it has happened in other dungeons. The arrow points to where I get displaced to at ~4 sec in the video. Also my warcraft logs are here: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gB9VkWdwHm7aT4ZY#fight=last&type=summary&cutoff=-1

grave abyss
#

looks like coup to me

old venture
#

that's what I was thinking

unique remnant
#

not sure. why would that bring me back in?

wind canopy
#

Because there's a dash tied with it

#

if you're far enough away

old venture
#

ye

unique remnant
#

hmmmm

#

so i would have to cast eviscerate (as coup) to get the dash?

misty condor
#

yeah that's just Coup de Grace, it dashes you toward your target

unique remnant
#

I dont THINK I pressed eviscerate... but I also was not aware of that, so possible. is that dash functionality stated anywhere in the talents or buffs when coup is ready?

old venture
#

it's possible it got spell queued

unique remnant
#

hm, that is likely

old venture
#

and no the dash isn't listed anywhere in the talent

wind canopy
#

And it's not listed in the ability/tooltip 🙂

old venture
#

because that would just make sense xdd

unique remnant
#

crazy

#

lol

old venture
#

the game's good

unique remnant
#

ok well that is most likely the case, because i could not think of any other ability I have that would produce the effect... and it's on random, different, mobs

old venture
#

we went from beta for azeroth, to qualityassurancelands, to Betaflight, to the War Withalpha

#

unfortunate

wind canopy
#

It's not random, but probably not tracking it

#

*tracking/paying attention

sinful sluice
#

take a look at this

#

probs coup is killing you

#

happens quite often tbh

#

i just take cheat death just for this

old venture
#

yea the animation lock/dash was brought up all throughout beta

#

and.... yeah

#

because surely in modern wow where there's 81238168273127368123871278 swirlies on the ground/aoe stomps to avoid

#

it SURELY wouldn't ever be problematic

wind canopy
unique remnant
#

damn

#

this seems so buggy

sinful sluice
#

well if you dont want this

#

you can play with black powder...💀

unique remnant
#

I guess I just that's just another thing to track.... dont press eviscerate when coup is ready and swirlies are coming

sinful sluice
#

is it even trackable

unique remnant
#

either way. I appreciate the input

sinful sluice
#

i already put so much energy dodging gimmicks

#

and tracking cds

unique remnant
#

basically just sounds like be careful when coup is ready

lucid jackal
unique remnant
#

alright... ill keep this in mind and hopefully no longer have this problem. thank you all for the input. much appreciated

tribal blade
#

missed timer on 15 mists because fdk lower overall than sub 😦

sinful sluice
#

can anyone share their ovinax run as sub?

#

cant find youtube vid for it

#

everyone seems to be running assa

alpine wraith
#

i have something planned for tomorrow if you didnt see the cool picture yet

sinful sluice
#

holy

#

thx for sharing

#

whats blank tech between 1 and 2 at the top?

tribal blade
#

i haven't been playing enough sub in keys, i can eek out more damage

tribal blade
plush roost
#

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the egg breaks

plush roost
#

I imagine your cds went hard af

tribal blade
#

1st boss? uhh like 2.2 mil or so

#

at the end

#

i was doing the exact same amount as the arcane

#

i fucking nuked that boss yeah

#

playing sub feels really good there

plush roost
#

Being 1.5 min is so nice cause if you 2 phase you usually have your second set of cds up

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly

plush roost
#

Maybe i dabble with sub sometime

tribal blade
#

it's less scuffed with 1.5 mins

plush roost
#

Yeah its annoying knowing you wont have deathmark up, and you dont really wanna hold kb

#

So you endup 3 phasing it sometimes zzz

#

And then you're deathmarking the treedude

#

And a lot of maze pulls are 5-6 mobs so big nimble flurry value

#

Yknow i kinda see the angle

crystal rain
#

I don’t have transmitter sadly, but I have a max mythic skardyns. Is it worth holding cds to align with skardyns? Or nah

sinful sluice
#

wont you be fucking up the rotation too much?

tepid trellis
#

cuz i got charged into a web blade

inner glen
#

will there be sub rogue buffs? i like that spec the most out of all rog specs atm

pliant topaz
#

prob not

tepid trellis
#

its in a pretty good spot atm

#

so prob not

late oxide
#

I see on warcraft log that sub rogue are on top of spec but sin seem like more player than sub

spark tusk
#

Yes, sin is much more popular

tepid trellis
#

if the specs are remotely close, people tend to move away from sub
