that's why you use sod/st while moving

tribal blade
#

looks like you can send on cd if you want

lilac stag
#

you're going to hold at somepoint

#

for set 3 if you send it earlier before set 1

@lilac stag NO LAG ON OVI

#

I

#

AM

#

SO

#

FUCKING

#

MAD

#

HOLY

#

SHIT

#

i could have been playing sub on ovi this whole time with no lag

#

i'm also doing more damage as sub because not having lag when adds are out is a massive difference

lilac stag
#

You’re welcome.

tribal blade
#

holy shit

#

thank you scath

#

i wish i knew this sooner

vernal yoke
#

Random question, does anyone know if The Rotten makes both Shadowstrikes from a Weaponmaster proc crit? Or is it just the first

lilac stag
#

tell your melee to thank me as well

#

What’s nice is feint plus your vers basically negates a ton of the dmg

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

or get 1 shot

lilac stag
#

my job here is done. Time for ComfyBear

tribal blade
#

sub is bae again

lilac stag
#

I need to farm 20 crests tomorrow to make neck. fml

broken fern
#

should my first 2 sparks just be 2x weapons? or should i craft something else

tribal blade
tribal blade
lilac stag
tribal blade
#

lol fair

#

i can't stop thinking about how different ovi became playing sub

lilac stag
#

hahah

tribal blade
#

that was so chilll

#

so much better

broken fern
#

and i should make 2x elemental focusing lense? or do they not stack

tribal blade
#

it's decent everywhere

#

and you can use it on all 3 specs easily

broken fern
#

already crafted dagger with elemental, should i recraft it? or is 2x elemental fine

tribal blade
#

most likely fine, embels are quite low impact compared to before

#

so you can kinda run w/e and be mostly fine

broken fern
#

ok cool, too easy

#

thank you 🙂

tribal blade
#

no worries! obviously if you sim there might be a somewhat significant difference

#

but probably nothing too major

broken fern
#

hopefully not, i cba getting a recraft

lilac stag
#

I run focusing because I’m not weak like prophet giving into assa tendencies at every whim.

pliant topaz
#

based

lilac stag
#

No cap

broken fern
#

assa seems so boring

#

if i wanted to play bleeds n shit id play feral

lilac stag
#

It is

broken fern
#

sub is that perfect cool spec that is hard to play as well and i can really sink time into it and learn it

lilac stag
#

Right now trickster is fun. Outside of the RS bug

broken fern
#

whats rs sorry? and whats the bug?

lilac stag
#

we don’t talk about deathstalker

#

Replicating shadows. It’s causes a random time delay on your cp refund that can basically happen at any point during the gcd after the finisher.

#

You play a waiting game of do I or don’t I

broken fern
#

oh so true actually ive noticed that too

#

annoys me so bad

#

i thought i was just bad lol

lilac stag
#

Nope. Drop RS for sht

#

unless you hate your life

tribal blade
#

yeah RS bug is infuriating

#

no point running RS unless you're doing a key

#

and even depending on key level you can probably just not use RS and be fine

tribal blade
#

i watched that music video for the first time because of you guys linking it in here

lilac stag
#

song is an ear worm

tribal blade
#

not really my kind of music, but the visuals are hypnotic ngl

#

I’m a metal head. That damn tune is catchy and leaves me questioning my life.

oh yeah rip thats gonna be stuck in my head now

i made a ticket about the RS bug, i'll keep you guys updated

alpine wraith
#

any day now

spark tusk
#

Pretty sure they're aware and have been since it was reported close to when it came out

alpine wraith
#

i mean it has only been around 2 years

#

it is fermenting

spark tusk
#

2?

alpine wraith
#

yea it was bugged since df

spark tusk
#

wasn't it season 3 of df?

alpine wraith
#

nah it was before too

spark tusk
#

wait which bug I thought it was shadowcraft with rs bug

#

and shadowcraft was in season 3 df

#

is my brain cooked

alpine wraith
#

the bug with random cps coming and going

#

not only shadowcraft

spark tusk
#

oh

#

I see

#

you gave me a mini heart attack making me think seasons 3 df was 2 years ago for a second

alpine wraith
#

a cool one is legion is almost 10 years old

that one is the making us feel old

this week i upgrade something and also craft head finally

I think I can hit 628ish if I stop being very very lazy.

#

Realistically I probably don't stop being very very lazy.

haughty mural
#

Still nobody in here wants to spread dots, right?

solar charm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
#

Tonight I had a dream about a possible solution. 😛

#

Short: keep a dot to "maintain", which deals good damage (because finisher). But also remove multidotting from this spec (and possible solve RS bug at the same time).
idk if we are open for cooking atm in here.

good ring i guess

#

yup pick is ring

haughty mural

#

maybe today there is a transmitter in my vault when i get back home PauseChamp

with dawn ring i would have completed the neck-ring-craft ring offset

since i looted court neck

#

Wait... The RS bug happens when im just specced into it? Every Finisher can get delayed?

#

Thought it just happens with rupture 🫣

sly shore
#

it is just with rupture

pulsar mauve
#

is it ? I'm fairly sure I'm having the issue during CDs

#

and i'm not using rupture during them

sly shore
#

I haven't had that issue ever

#

coup is slightly delayed

#

but other than that all normal

merry agate
merry agate

#

Any reason why Lense on ring would be less good than lense on dagger ?
or it's just margin of error

sly shore
#

same thing, so margin of error

shy ermine
#

i don't know why some people experience it more than others, might be an input tolerance thing

okay i'm just getting baited by margin of error I guess then

Im so torn between equipping or selling right now haha

zenith hollow
#

sell now if you are going to it's only gonna get cheaper

hidden spade

yeah i think its too much gold not to

sly shore
#

sell it and buy the one without avoidance

#

😏

tribal blade
zenith hollow
#

depends on your server too anyone who wants one can just go buy a cheaper one ~400k

sly shore
#

500k with avoidance

#

300k without

hidden spade
#

well i mainly do M+ and just pug first 4m, and im on a very low pop server, guess ill check prices once ive finished raid

leaden prairie
#

and i experienced it with every finisher myself

sly shore
#

Yeah I stand corrected, just not noticed it

#

but my spell queue window is like 120 or some shit

#

just pressing buttons frfr

vale pine
#

120 seems low

tribal blade
#

yeah it's every finisher while in symbols

#

i've tried playing around predicting when it's gonna refund, but it's basically impossible

#

so you kinda just have to eat the fact you're gonna waste CPs

#

i'm curious how much of a dps loss you guys think it is

lilac stag
vale pine
tribal blade
#

i wish i had normal ms

lilac stag
lilac stag
vale pine
#

200-250 is best one or default

tribal blade
#

is there any kind of special thing you can do with that if you play with ~200 ms

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

i tried messing around with it during DF but it completely screwed up my sense of timings

haughty mural
#

i could never

tribal blade
#

yeah it's pretty bad lol, but you get used to it

#

until you remember you're playing at a permanent disadvantage

#

just can't play the "it's because of lag" excuse on every little thing

lilac stag
#

Do the vpn connections help? Thought idk if that’s a tos thing.

tribal blade
#

someone on frostmourne told me they used a special vpn that gave them normal ms to NA

#

OCE > NA

#

but then someone else told me that it's basically bullshit, and there's no way to actually speed up the connection with a vpn

#

and i know nothing about this stuff so i have no idea who to believe

lilac stag
#

less routing is the hope I’m assuming

tribal blade
#

could be

#

he was using a paid vpn i remember him saying

#

a special one for gaming iirc

lilac stag
#

Which server cluster are you going to

tribal blade
#

i'm in hong kong and i play on NA stormrage

lilac stag
#

Yea there are gamer vpns

tribal blade
#

uhhh i think that's.. east coast

lilac stag
#

It’s Chicago

#

It’s either Chicago or LA

#

And storm is Chicago

tribal blade
#

gotcha

#

it's definitely not LA

#

i made a character on proudmoore before which is PST (west coast), and my connection was better

vale pine
tribal blade
#

the thing is recently one of the guys came to check out our internet and he discovered we were stacking router boxes on top of each other

#

which was basically cooking stuff

#

so now my internet is more stable and runs better

#

so that directly made my internet a bit better thankfully

vale pine
#

nicu

tribal blade
#

i also made some steps to try to put things in positions where they can get the most airflow possible

#

because we had a router in the closet, and that thing was just hot all the time

#

all places here are concrete, so it makes setting up internet connections really fucky apparently

lilac stag
tribal blade
lilac stag
#

They each have different results if I remember.

#

I was looking at them when my isp was having routing issues.

#

I just don’t recall what the tos says.

vale pine
#

if you have issues with your isp, you can try what i suggested in #wow-general some days ago

#

to see if a public dns is better than your isp's

#

^ reference

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

I just say it as a precaution to not get you banned. Surebud

#

bliz weird with some shit and thier botting tech

#

I get some oce peeps with 150ms in keys at times so it def is possible.

vale pine
#

ill explain why

#

Your connections goes:
Your PC ⟺ Game Server
Adding a VPN:
Your PC ⟺ The Proxy/VPN server ⟺ Game Server

#

So your connection needs to go extra miles to reach the server and then back to you

tribal blade
#

ahh ok i see

alpine wraith
#

for wow it is actually better to use vpns because their routing is most of the time fucked up in many places in EU with telia cursed nodes and in NA with AT&T and comcast ones

vale pine
#

if you get better results, it can be for multiple things:

  1. The ping is calculated from the proxy endpoint, masking latency between you and the proxy
  2. your ispn has bad routing, and the vpn connects you with a better endpoint
alpine wraith
#

so wow is a special case kinda

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

well most of the time it is packet loss and bad requests from nodes even if you resolve if the packets get hung you will still get annoying lag

#

best thing is try both and use the one that works best

vale pine
#

fair

alpine wraith
#

most vpn things have free trials i dont use any but it works well for many

vale pine
#

the free tiers of vpn's are typically slow

alpine wraith
#

yea i use my own things

vale pine
#

because what vpn providers do is basically offer a certain capacity to everyone but lock away the rest for the subscribing users

alpine wraith
#

makes sense big money

vale pine
#

so what happens is, if you browse its not that noticable unless the website has a lot of media

#

but its typical for gamers to be more pwoer users

#

so e.g. you use spotify or youtube music for audio playback

#

then you have a potentially twitch stream open on your 2nd monitor

#

and the twitch stream can already be enough to use the aviable bandwith

#

or even worse, wouldn't even load (stuck buffering)

short radish
#

which add are we killing on platform 1 for queen?

#

guardian?

alpine wraith
#

you have to kill both but tank will move them together

#

the one that hits tank is the one that can move you hit that one yea

short radish

thanks

#

I played some sub in keys today

#

Nothing crazy just some farm 12s.

#

Is 1.86m overall bad or good

#

Mists and NW for reference

#

NW was lower, only 1.67m but I also trolled my cds a bit

vale pine
#

sub is not bad in mythic+

plush roost
#

Also tfd feels so good, i found myself with a second sec tech coming up on the tail end of it, send it? Or just wait for next dance?

#

Like the last global of tfd

#

If its like old trickster you just send it and immediately dance again right?

thick cedar
#

Hi Guys, I got a Myth Skardyn's in the vault, sims saying knife and transmitter at 619 are better, any ideas?

plush roost
#

2 min cd isn't ideal for sub timings

#

Phenomenal on Sin tho

#

So if you play that, i would take it

thick cedar
#

Nah Sub only. Thanks mate.

hazy breach
#

Late response, but definitely run imp storm on ovinax, shadow focus is completely useless

#

Ye you wont storm parasites, but you can def get some storms on worms/spiders

tribal blade
#

well not much better, but like you said SF is complete garbage

hazy breach
#

SF is literally 0.3% sim dps

tribal blade
#

they need to do something about that node

#

they should either rework, retune or just make it a utility node

#

having talents that are extremely low impact like that is depressing

short radish
#

does cloak prevent you dropping shit web puddle on intermission

#

on the wrest cast?

vale pine
#

so its a utility node

tribal blade
#

the big issue is the way blizz has redesigned subterfuge and put without a trace in that spot and the way it ties into outlaw and sin

#

means if they give it back to us they have to make a bunch of changes

#

i imagine

vale pine
#

just put a vanish cdr

tribal blade
#

true i forgot about that idea you had

vale pine
#

vanish is 1 min, 1 min 30 or so cooldown instead of 2 min

#

you can control the power level with the cooldown

tribal blade
#

i think 1 min vanish would be cool

vale pine
#

it would be a buff to both specs

#

if they want friction

#

they do something like 1 min 20

#

or 1 min 15

#

dracthyr_kek i know they love weird timings

#

or 1 min 25

#

sounds fun

tribal blade
#

nah weird timings is exclusively for sub 😉

weary kite
#

On court, if you cloak web vortex, do you still pair up?

hazy breach
#

No

alpine wraith
#

you break it

vernal drum
#

If you already has web link on you, it doesn’t break

#

With cloak

hazy breach
#

Ye but if you precloak it wont be applied

vernal drum
#

This way yes

#

But since it deal magic damage, and the third dash the raid need webers, it is interesting to tell the other side of how it work

#

Already got 12 tokens, wish me luck plz 💀

keen dome
#

Good luck!

#

May you get something fancy

alpine wraith
#

im already capped on tockens

#

you can get gold because they dont even let you get half sparks unless you are behind

#

smh

#

i wish you could get gildeds instead

spark tusk
#

ohhh

#

gildeds would be nice

#

then I'd actually have a means of acquiring upgrades

swift tinsel
#

Agreed, if you unlock Harbinger gilded conversion the token vendor should sell gilded crests

hazy breach
#

Like if you have all 639 achivement on your account it unlocks it for your alts i think

#

Since the other ones are based on that

swift tinsel
#

I thought it topped out at runed, don't have anyone at all 639 atm to check

#

like my mage has the ability to convert runed to gilded, but the token vendor still only sells runed crests for tokens

#

so it would take two weeks of taking tokens to get 15 gilded crests

fallow raven
#

is this tallent still bugged?

lilac stag
#

It’s not bugged

#

You just have to actually transfer threat after casting it

timid rivet
#

Hello sorry to bother but someone can help me ? I've started wow for the first time at the end of DF and since TWW release i wanted to learn more and improve myself on the game, i play mainly sub and i want to understand what i'm doing wrong for better parses and overall damage etc

sullen hare
# fallow raven is this tallent still bugged?

depends on what you mean by bugged. I've had it evade bug out the add on the ramps at the last boss of necrotic wake because it tried to snap to the tank so anytime I get to that boss I just click off tricks and move the ability off its keybind to protect myself from autopilot pressing the keybind

lilac stag
#

Tricks would do that regardless of so tricky if you had casted it for some reason when down there. That’s just snapping.

hazy breach
#

It also doesnt snap immediately. He tries to run towards the tank first

sullen hare
#

yes, technically correct, so tricky just makes it more likely to happen

hazy breach
#

So if you see him running/not hitting you

lilac stag
#

kidney

hazy breach
#

Just send a kidney and then remove your buff

sullen hare
#

these are all possible workarounds yes

hazy breach
#

Tbf you could probably also just kill it during kidney with dance

strange chasm
#

The 1hr tricks buff doesn't work in raid right

vale pine
#

it does

strange chasm
#

Hm hasn't been working for me on queen I don't think

hazy breach
#

It does

#

You just need to proc it during your 30s window once

#

Its the 6s threat transfer thats changed to 60 minutes, not the 30s window before its applied

daring marlin
#

do you like not having a choice

hazy breach
#

Not sure what you mean

vale pine
#

lilac stag
#

Casually ignoring the SG at 639. #nochoices

edgy zenith
#

you guys play at that high of spell queue window? I play at 85

#

but I was also palying Outlaw at the start of the tier

vale pine
#

there is no real reason to set it lower, as you lose all benefits

edgy zenith
#

i feel like with default I couldn't react to Ace procs on Outlaw

#

especially if there was some latency

vale pine
#

spell queue window has nothing to do with reaction time

#

lowering the spell queue window does reduce the chance of accidental casts

#

because 400 ms (the default) is half of your global during adrenalin rush

edgy zenith
#

yes, poor verbage

strange chasm
#

Also btw the finery's do not have a catchup mechanic. If you miss a week you are screwed

hazy breach
#

You sure you dont have some on any of your alts

strange chasm
#

I put in a ticket as I've gotten zero on any alt clears I've done

#

Was told it's limited to unique boss kills per account not character.

#

So I'm capped at 13 this week instead of being able to get 16

swift merlin
#

Did this Finery shit exist in DF? I didn't play last xpac

strange chasm
#

Which is strange because some people have said they've gotten 20 in a week

#

Meanwhile I missed last week and have only gotten 13

zenith hollow
#

when we go into dance we want to be empty on combo points and first global is shadowstrike into sectech not eviscerate like it used to be?

swift tinsel
#

Something is screwy with finery then bc I went from 8 to 32 after a heroic reclear, including 8 in my mailbox this morning

#

and I looted every boss

strange chasm
#

Seems unintended

swift tinsel
#

then I hopped on my rogue this week and got 24

#

shits weird

edgy zenith
#

nah, I swear on my life there is a massive difference between 85 spell queue and 250. like a positive gain from using 85. at 250 everything feels so sluggish and unresponsive

#

getting awful feeling slow globals on opener, press the macro to change to 85, INSTANTLY fixes it

#

at 250 they even like rubber band sometimes and don't go off if you like run out of range

#

feels horrible

uneven scarab
#

I think i play on default but ive never rlly noticed a difference

delicate cave
#

Do you rupture multiple targets in m+?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

Outside of shadow dance you want to apply ruptures to anything that lives ~12s or so

#

(assuming the damage to them is relevant, so maybe not on the smallies on last boss grim batol for example)

I'm noticing that when I try to eviscerate a target I kinda magnet pull to them? I've died in keys due to this. What's the mechanic happening

I think it happens during dance the most

It's coup

thick temple

Man

uneven scarab

Yeah the coup evisc dashes you to ur target if you’re out of melee

Its nearly killed me many times

We call it getting cat memed in my guild because it's similar to how skull bash works

uneven scarab
#

Dude web blades is when its always got me squeezing my buttcheeks

thick temple
#

I trolled on siege 11 during that second boss when the adds are out

#

And there's like 40 swirlies on the ground

#

Coup came in clutch and dragged me to death D:

#

Or necrotic wake with the spine crush - that ones almost gotten me once or twice

swift tinsel
#

lmfao yup

#

or that frontal the other ones do

#

right before stitch fight

thick temple
#

Idk ik I'm in tip off melee range still but that coup pull in wants me to be in the target's nuts idgi

sullen hare

Those are usually pretty safe because there's no reason to be out of melee range on goregrind I think

Unless it pulls you into the green muck on the floor kekdog

how many mobs are in that first pull?

Wait u guys arent triple SoD'ing during ur first flag/transmitter burst

Wago is has a really good one

sullen hare
#

The tts one on wago is what I use. I modified it to say "pad or ball" though

#

because I didn't like whatever it says by default

haughty mural
#

else there would also be the fuu one just in case

#

did LE add one to her pack ?

#

i usually like her stuff very much

young path
#

I couldn’t imagine a m+ scenario holding in that manner would be good

#

6ish globals feels like an eternity

#

Especially when the rest of your group is popping off

alpine wraith
#

in nw the first gather is trash mobs that die in 4 secs

#

ideally tank goes directly to the big necro guy then does a right and comes after then you can get 2 good ruptures at least

#

but yea you would still strike flag rupture then go into dance cds

#

you still get 5 decent chargets and 2 ruptures i guess

young path
#

And no, step harvester and tank buster

topaz raptor
#

what are you doing step-harvester??

young path
#

Sprint.. then sstrike from stealth

#

While targeting harvester

#

I mean, who knows… I’m always wrong

alpine wraith
#

i mean you might be doing more dmg to the harvester that is not always bad

#

generally ruptures are worth if mob survives 12 secs problem is that supercharger makes them last longer only

young path
#

Overall plays just as much as an impact as prio in high keys

alpine wraith
#

so you are losing a 4x% amp on an evis for like nothing

swift tinsel
#

yeah thats like a 40sec rupture

alpine wraith
#

so if evis hits for 2.7m in cds

#

lets say

#

vs 3.4

swift tinsel
#

if sub had sudden demise

alpine wraith
#

then it flurries around 44%

#

so it is a 11m global

young path
#

Considering first pull of the 14 lasts about 30-40… I’d say worth it

#

Maybe longer

alpine wraith
#

you can put rupture after first 2 dances

#

actually that is what you do

young path
#

Nope

#

lol

alpine wraith
#

you get sec tech back doing 1 or 2 ruptures then go back into third and fourth dance

#

and because those are not charged the 12 secs rule or so applies well

young path
#

If I can, I’ll post a video tonight … u may just broaden your perspective

#

(Of that pull)

#

Think I’ve tried about a million different versions trying different ways… I’m just sayn there always better ways to skin a cat

alpine wraith
#

yea it just does not last long enough on what i've done if mobs last long rupture is always good and it is not like you are wasting a lot of time anyway

my rng in one picture

literally proc ALWAYS outside cds exept at the end

idle aurora
#

Also @alpine wraith I tried macroing sod into shadow like you said wasn’t super smart but could be done. And I actually hated it. Seems better to manually keep it up, but you were right the timer thing on flag being under 2 and pooling went hard to figure out.

#

When I macroed it in I ended up accidentally blowing two symbols sometimes 😦

alpine wraith
#

yea only macro i have is the sec tech + cb one and i also have a normal sec tech

idle aurora
#

It’s actually jarring to think when to manually use vs not use

#

Vs always manually using

#

do you just wanna keep shadow dance on a cd at all times? so meaning first running shadowdance´+symbols then Shadowdance at last shadowdance+symbols, kinda that pattern

#

for st raid 🙂

hazy breach
#

You never want to dance without symbols

#

And you want to make sure you always can use 2 symbols and 2 dances during flag+blades

glossy turtle
#

So I just wanna burn em all?

hazy breach
#

Which means you need roughly ~35-40s left on your second dance charge whenever you press flag

glossy turtle
#

Might have some weird macro that I dont know about

is there a guide to which class buffs are best for sub rogue in M+?

@wleem

@hazy breach have u simmed new maghar at all

Im swapping off gnome tn

hazy breach

Not sure if its implemented

But should be better

#

Based on my napkin math

#

Maghar/orc/dark iron

#

All fine

#

None of them are 90/180s cd though which is kinda cringe

#

But you'd still hold em

lucid jackal
#

Yeah

#

I am just over being a gnome

#

esp with this tomb nerf

#

Also whats the best crafted slot do u think

#

I have crafted cape atm

#

and just real bracers

#

But theres like 0 bracers

hazy breach

Its kinda fine wherever tbh

What triggers the replicating shadows refund to happen

#

Is there any way to play around it effectively

hazy breach
lucid jackal
#

IT feels ike it only happens sometimes though

hazy breach
#

Ye

#

Idk sometimes it doesnt refund at the start of your second dance either way

#

Even without replicating

#

Its just wonky

rustic geyser
#

working as intended™

pliant topaz
#

theres a stealth/dance bug baseline that makes it so that shadowcraft doesnt refund at all

#

and then theres the RS bug itself

#

so yeah sometimes u get one, sometime the other

lucid jackal
#

Is it munching CP when it delay refunds

tribal blade
#

i think so, seems like it does

lucid jackal
#

Fuck

#

Is it even a DPS increase then if its munching CP

tribal blade
#

sometimes i see my refunds munch CPs

#

but not 100% sure

#

thing is shadowcraft gives you so many resources during symbols

#

so it's still mandatory even with all the bugs n shit

delicate cave
#

Scroll of Momentum is simming higher for me than Shadow-Binding Ritual Knife, is that just sim bait?

tribal blade
#

oh they're actually very close to each other in ST, interesting

#

knife is marginally better for me, like ~2k dps

rustic geyser
#

scroll does have some level of pay attention and input involved mind

#

I mean it's just "hit sprint" but like

#

it's still a thing you have to do

umbral apex
#

Knife is equip and forget

#

And it has value in aoe

oh yeah then i wouldn't use it

So is void

tribal blade

if you need to do additional bullshit to make it good

#

knife is just better in every way

swift crest
#

whats easier sub or sin

#

or law

#

i main sin but want to mess around on sub maybe

rustic geyser
#

sin is the easiest

swift crest
#

its becoming the boringest tbh

#

outlaw to fast pace for my vibes i think

#

i will play some sub in raid tnight

tribal blade
#

i would enjoy sin a lot more if i didn't have to play deathstalker

left ledge
#

I think the mental damage

#

Isn’t worth it

#

If only we had another talent to pick

#

Lmao

rustic geyser
#

you can play fatebound sin

#

it's very good

#

unless you're talking like dungeons and shit

#

but on the st bosses FB is fine

tribal blade
#

yeah i mostly play sin in keys

#

i'm not gonna play sin in raid anymore since don't need to anymore

rustic geyser
#

it's just the fact taht we have to apply and deal with the mark in the way that we do

#

it feels so much more fluid on sub

#

but then on sub we have tricks

hazy breach
#

But on aoe its definitely worth it regardless

lucid jackal
#

yeh assumed so for aoe

did u guys step your shadowstep to macro onto a mage

Does it matter if I use 2 daggers or 1 dagger 1 mace?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

You effectively need 2 daggers

#

Otherwise you lose out on ~8% of your energy and combo points.

#

!oh

wicked joltBOT
#

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

Is there a general benchmark for how many charges of SoD/Dance you should have when flag cd is ~30sec?

#

brain is somewhat krangled atm

lucid jackal
#

U need like 1.5 dances to do your cooldowns

#

So u stop using CDS at 30 seocnds until flag/blades

swift tinsel

Ah, thanks. That's kinda what I was thinking but wasn't sure if it was mathed out

do you finish sec tech as second finisher with deathstalker

edgy zenith
#

noticed the simulationcraft APL is using SB before sectech, also it's not doing the CB on second sectech thing

#

is this normally (especially the SB thing) or just new APL not implemented?

quick swan
#

So practicing the sub opener and idk why but on my first vanish it doesnt actually put me into stealth so I cant do another shadowtrike lol

#

cant figure out why

spark tusk
#

yeah it's a bit buggy especially in town

#

it happens a bunch on target dummies

#

I'll vanish in dornogal and it'll just immediately break before I can strike

heady quartz
#

Is downtime normal for sub in keys ? Like I would have periods where theres nothing I can do except backstab

spark tusk
#

!design yeah, sub has high highs and low lows

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".

quick swan
#

Yeah seems dorno training dummies are laggy af

#

Back to garrisons

Cheers for confirming that Im not going mad

ok bet

fierce minnow

but getting invited to keys while not specced into assassination is kinda harder

even at 637 ilvl 😄

rugged condor
#

whats the rule for using coup? inside dance or just with fazed?

thorny kestrel
#

with treacherous transmitter, do you use it early way before your sec tech / pot, so you could do the jumpy / collect / stand thingy and get the buff for sec tech hit

alpine wraith
#

yes

thorny kestrel
#

k ty

#

so for opener, it would be strike, flag, evis, van, strike, rupture, Treacherous transmitter, dance/symbol/pot macro, strike, cb-sec tech macro, shadowblades, etc?

bitter dagger
#

A lot of people, myself included, have macrod transmitter to flag

And if so, do i bind it to some of my cooldowns or whats the best move to do here?

alpine wraith

skardyn is not as good as transmitter but it is not bad

#

just use it with flag

#

or well after sec tech

tepid trellis

can just skardyns on flag

duration is 20 sec

so its kinda w/e

It is what it is. If you’re only testing the spec out it’s fine. Everything outside of transmitter you could say is bad.

@alpine wraith did you solve it before or after flag cast ?

hazy breach
#

Ideally you solve it as you sectech

alpine wraith
#

yea as i sec tech

#

the most annoying one is the ball

#

but you get used to it

#

i do show how to do the 45º trick on the showcase i have

#

that way the ball comes to you and the platform is not that far from boss

or well it is more like 60 instead of 45 but you get the memo

!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.

#

how much of a gain is it really to use vanish into flag/symbols bursts? would i be losing much if i save that for the utility/defensive and just flag->rupture->cds?

hazy breach

But in keys for example you would already have slice and dice up from previous pulls

#

So then it doesnt matter much

thick field
#

oh true the evisc for slice and dice is why its good in opener

#

okay makes sense, thank you guys

hazy breach
#

Its still extra cp (from premed) during the rest of your rotation so its still worth to press if you can

#

But the difference isnt big outside the opener

#

And on queen for example i was backstabbing since i need to save vanish for the roots, its not horrid, its just not great

lilac stag
#

Still need to save it with nerfs?

alpine wraith
#

yea it is very comfy

#

you just need to delay cds like some secs

thick field
#

okay yeah that makes sense then

#

I'm still learning the ins and outs of every button press and the effect it has. like i didnt think of premed or snd from evis

hazy breach
#

Might be able to have it be bursted down on the first one but you'd still need to hold vanish

lilac stag
#

#

Since its ~17s, ~50s and ~95s or something like that

Cuz all I really need in stealth is shadow strike right?

Sap, Cheap Shot

#

Distract

jaunty heath

Gotcha

Besides that, they should be pretty close to mirrored

Some addons will allow you disable the stealth bar which some rogues will do as well

I think my shroud is F2 or F3 lol

#

lol

I just have my cheap shot in the same place as kidney shot on my stealth bar. Sap and distract are on modifiers off of the main bar

I keep Dance on 3 though and I don't remember why

wild hornet

My hoj is on 8 and kidney on 7

swift tinsel

I try to keep my binds mostly homogenized between classes. Like F is non-cd or short cd AoE ability/finisher like BP or Divine Storm, Q is main CD, E is kick

#

1 main builder, 2 main spender

#

I don't W move hardly at all so its easy

wild hornet
#

The only thing i keep the same is human racial on shift 9 and kick on mouse4

#

Everything else i just throw randomly where i deem fit

swift tinsel
#

I'm slimming down this xpac though, only playing one main and one alt

wild hornet
#

Hence i have to throw my hands all around to do a rotation

swift tinsel
#

Was going to start as rogue main in tww but I wasn't loving the state of sub and I don't love sin, and we were really short on ranged and didn't have a mage so I ran with that in prog

wild hornet
#

I see

#

Im kinda trying to branch back into sub cuz i rly forgot how to play it

swift tinsel
#

It's been one of my favorite specs since probably cata when I first started playing it

wild hornet
#

Wanted to play something else besides ret (dont kill me just yet)

swift tinsel
#

Lol paladin was my first class ever so I get it

I still never touched more than a class trial on half of the characters

I used to play on a 2007 macbook too

#

doing illidan progression in my friend's basement, the whole god damn laptop was a heatsink and it overheated constantly so in between pulls I would open the fridge we had down there and place the laptop in there between pulls

#

Probably not the best idea but I was an idiot teenager
