by chance

tribal blade
#

outlaw mastery rework when

leaden prairie
#

it just need to scale off of the initial hit

#

like every other mastery in the game

#

the issue with outlaw mastery is that whenever you start doing more damage cause talents/etcs

#

mastery doesnt scale at all

#

so anytime you take a talent thats basically a "x does more damage", mastery also get worse

#

im pretty sure every other mastery in the game has some kind of scaling off of abilities so this doesnt happen

#

like sub is just finisher

tribal blade
#

i remember how it worked in like wod

leaden prairie
#

assa i think is bleeds

#

etc

tribal blade
#

where the % chance ot hit went up too

#

so in pvp as combat you would hard stack mast

leaden prairie
#

That doesn't really solve the issue tho

tribal blade
#

red buff>KS>dead person

#

yeah true

leaden prairie
#

Just make mastery a better stat but it can still fall off the same way

#

Like if you look at current talents, say like dispatcher

#

Scale the damage of dispatch a lot

#

But that doesn't interact with main gauche

vestal escarp
#

pirate talk

leaden prairie
#

So mastery just get worse

tribal blade
#

gotcha gotcha

DO NOT SHIT TALK RIPOSTE
@regal snow

How big is the impact of deathstslker changes? Really 5% on ST?

a bit more than 5%

R.. Rou.. Rank.

upbeat sorrel
#

we need a ranged rogue spec first

short radish
#

yeah

#

thats outlaw

keen dome
#

Why not both

regal snow
#

Feel like gouge needs a rework

keen dome
#

The first ranked tank

#

I am aware how much of an oxymoron it is and in theory any tank is a ranged tank if they run away enoguh

upbeat sorrel

no outlaw is the arthritis spec

short radish

worthy oxide
#

So Sub is now definitiv stronger in ST over Assa?

#

definitly

upbeat sorrel
#

maybe

#

but maybe not

#

would we still play trickster on mythic silken court even after patch

#

deathmark on court is kinda annoying

maybe maybe not

for trickster i think only when flawless form is not up

and 2+ target

#

and not during dance

#

if u have cds up i generally dont press rupture maybe twice with rupture spreading to nearby target talented

#

u just wanna send ur big cds and spam evis into biggest hp / prio target and let hero talent do the cleaving

#

get ur big boom cds going asap, spread ruptures outside of dance if the mobs are not about to die

lilac stag

#

basically. You’re looking to get sectech and coup more than anything else.

young path
# hot plaza Thanks mate so black powder is just a fraction better in big pulls? Yeah?

I’d highly recommend not casting BP aside as trickster…. Especially considering the recent buff

If u consider the first dance window, sectech into evis into potentially a coup u are sitting at stacks on stacks of flawless and dance macabre (giga ramping modifiers)

That all said and depending on situation, talenting tornado and pull size…. I promise u you can pull jaw dropping numbers with a BP tornado spam for that small 4ish seconds towards the end of that first dance window

#

Expecting even stronger numbers later today w/the hotfix

#

But I’m really excited to try dark brew death stalker today, I really hope it pulls big big numbers, otherwise I’m staying trickster I think… it’s just so smooth to play

#

(M+)

vale pine
#

trickster plays a lot nicer

#

but deathstalker is fine in m+

ds is just annoying because of mark

#

DS will be going to the moon this patch

#

It'll probably be best on every single fight

#

Maybe not court

hexed bluff
#

Are the queens adds relevant enough for trickster to remain the go to as well?

#

Never mind, I guess the BP buff will be enough to make DS go boom boom on that fight

strange chasm
#

Yeah you just mark the target and prio cleave

#

Plus most of the ads on queen get taken out back by warriors

True true

Fury go brrr

#

I was having quite the fun doing keys as sub

#

I dont wanna swap to kekstalker

#

Chat hold me

lilac stag

I doubt you will in keys

#

The cdr on trickster too good

lethal gale
#

I just been testing on training dummies with ds/trickster and seems pretty close it terms of aoe unless im just playing ds completely wrong

vestal escarp
#

Honestly we dont even know what build to run

#

If 3sod or silent DB

lethal gale
#

yeah im just playing the DB one

lilac stag

you could sim builds with override

yeah unless DS is just ahead by a lot then just play trickster

When will we be able to sim the buffs later today?

lilac stag
#

ask raidbots

severe prism
#

when prio target i still spend on evis with DS right ?

#

like the 5% transfert damage is irrelevant

wild hornet
#

When I cast sectec, should I be trying to get an extra stack of danse before the clones hit (i.e. using bs instead of sstrike)

edgy zenith
#

you don't play around danse macabre anymore

wild hornet
edgy zenith
#

it's a damage loss

lilac stag
#

cdr is more important than playing around danse

wild hornet
#

So an extra danse stack wont outweight a sstrike cdr?

#

Since i sometimes find myself holding onto sectec even when its back on cd

#

Usually when i have no other cds

wind canopy
#

You’re buffing ST by like 500-600k using a 70k backstab when you could hit for 800-900k with shadowstrike.

upbeat sorrel
#

are the patch updates in raidbots yet

lilac stag
#

Check raidbots?

upbeat sorrel
#

sometimes it says at the top but not seeing anything

lilac stag
#

Then likely not. Check their discord, or just add 5% to your sim

upbeat sorrel
#

monkascheme 5% juice

lilac stag
#

not juice. Shit. Just more dmg.

edgy zenith
#

okay, so how does supercharger work with DS? if I send a dance/sod window with 6s left on sectech, into evis and DN then procs

#

am I sending that DN or sectech on last supercharger stack

#

it's DN > everythign right?

#

would it have been better to just send a natty evis, get the DN proc ready. then go into dance window and then DN > sectech for the supercharger points?

#

okay, sims are saying always send sectech on the supercharger and delay using DN if you have to

#

unless the raidbots APL is cooked

#

any knowers?

hazy breach
hazy breach
edgy zenith
#

so delaying DN is okay in that instance?

hazy breach
#

No

edgy zenith
#

wym no

hazy breach
#

you dont delay DN

#

Sim does it because the stupid ass bug still isnt implemented so its fine since its still counting down to 2 stacks

#

So dont delay it

edgy zenith
#

are we just depressed if we can't supercharge sectech then?

hazy breach
#

you always supercharge sectech

edgy zenith
#

or send dance window later after you get a DN ready?

#

like if you're on 1 stack of mark, 8s on sectech and full combo points and ready to send dance/sod, what are you doing

#

send natty evis, then go into dance window: use DN then sectech. or are you sending dance insta, using evis first global, proccing DN, being depressed and then sending a non-supercharged sectech

hazy breach
#

Natty evis

#

Because otherwise you wouldnt supercharge your sectech

vale pine
#

you always want to supercharge secret

edgy zenith
#

okay, so you do have to pay attention to deathstalker marks. if your sectech WOULD be ready for second supercharged point (CD less than 10s) BUT you have 1 mark stack, you gotta wait until you send one evis before you go into window, correct?

open vortex
#

do we change how we use transmitter w/ ds now, cause not getting the second sectec in it feels kinda bad

lilac stag
#

trigger it split second before sectech

open vortex
#

or am i just getting wf gapped on dummy

edgy zenith
#

you can get it in both I believe, think you're getting wf gapped

tidal python
#

Just use a different trinket so you don't have to worry about it Surebud /s

open vortex
#

ya i am, its super tight but if you get it like right before the first sectec it works

edgy zenith
#

it is super tight without wf, yeah

#

and this is why we should make wf shadow technique gen as baseline and remove wf and shadow technique interaction

vale pine
#

you want a shaman in raid

#

shaman buff op

open vortex
#

is it a gain if i evis first finisher in dance w/ DN up

hazy breach
#

always use DN immediately

vale pine

Evis has highest prio if you have the capstone proc (dn)

why not m+ as well

is it still that far behind?

the only annoying thing i get is spreading rups on ur downtime

they might fix it

i just realized that getting parried is back on the menu

kind bluff
#

hmmmm

lethal gale
#

Just did a couple 10s as DS it feels >>fine<< to me but trickster just feels way better and much more satisfying to play. Even on boss fights I didnt feel DS had a major gap or anything - maybe on much higher keys this matters more

#

wait for M+ DS you use Dark Brew?

no finality or db

vale pine
round latch
#

been testing some stuff and it PUMPS

vale pine
#

i think it will be dungeon dependent

#

some bosses don't work well with mark

round latch
#

yeah but why would sub have issues with it,it can apply it much faster,almost on demand

#

its not the 2min-oh-my-god-what-am-i-doing-now sin situation

warm marlin
#

Sub also doesn’t really care to hold vanish for accidents to put it back up

deft oar
#

so are we just BPing the whole time on court or is TS ahead on low count cleave

vale pine
vale pine
#

ofc not on single target^^

called it 4 weeks ago that its coming

he's gonna nuke me but will be fun

😂

lilac stag
#

it’s not exactly surprising with them trying to make all hero talents viable.

#

it’s going to snow in January in Chicago. Shocking prediction

round latch
#

yup,its kinda obvious,ive been playing deathstalker sub in pvp so it made some sense

#

even now that most ppl play trickster even

half comet
#

is deathstalker M+ build still same

round latch
#

im waiting fuu's verdict on that as well^^

#

but should at least have finality

hot plaza
#

You guys use any burst macros for sub pls? Ty 😎👍

weary kite
#

Am I playing DS on court tonight or nah?

vale pine
lilac stag
#

it's funny. running 8min HAC sims which have been decently good for Ovi. Tricky still wins even with override. DS slightly more prio dmg, but I think that its actually less with bug

#

I'll run it once or twice to see what the actual dmg looks like, but gonna swap back to tricky more than likely

vale pine
#

trickster should be better for ovi

lilac stag
#

just a for science

#

adds drop pretty quick so maybe more ST pulls ahead

which trinket would be our bis for m+?

someone roared at the same time and I'm pretty sure they don't stack

lilac stag

and they’re usually splat before 2nd dance.

near rivet
#

but i've been starving movement speed there a lot

#

and self vanish actually works

honest saddle
#

so we bp 2 targets now?

strange chasm

#

it might work on other rogues who press vanish at the sime thou

hot plaza
#

Hey can flagellation and shadowblades be macroed together please along with trinket and pot ect? Ty

honest saddle
swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't

#

you'd be in dance already and blades after sectech

lilac stag
#

We are the anti macro 7 cd spec

swift tinsel
#

Ideally you'd blades ~8sec after flag so they end around the same time

#

but yeah, macroing any of them together isn't a great idea

hot plaza
#

Ok Ty guys appreciate it 👍👍👍

fair stump
#

Annoying that we have to play DS

swift tinsel
#

I'm just gonna trickster otp

fair stump
#

How does DS change in ST?

#

Rotation wise

swift tinsel
#

add Storm for Clear the Witness, hard prio DN

wind canopy
honest saddle
#

what would I know. I only have world #1 parses

fair stump
#

I want to see how I can improve

honest saddle
#

start with macroing blades and dance.

fair stump
honest saddle
#

tell me a time, you would blades without dance

#

tell me one time

spare hazel
#

would it be a big mistake for me to macro blades with flagellation, and macroing dance with symbols?

#

i feel like those two pairs of skills are always used together, right?

swift tinsel
#

You never press dance and blades at the same time

fair stump
wind canopy
#

You'd delay Blades a few seconds after Flag

fair stump
wispy bolt
#

Can we expect a new opener graphic on wowhead or in here today? I haven’t been reading this for a min and I raid today

swift tinsel
#

macroing flag and blades together would cause you to lose out on a gcd of building since you finish first global after flag

honest saddle
swift tinsel
#

no, its after

honest saddle
#

yeah

#

after

swift tinsel
#

which

fair stump
#

i thought blades don't affect sectec dmg

swift tinsel
#

you never sectech unless you're in dance

#

so

#

you dance first, not at the same gcd you blades

honest saddle
#

so youre running it like /coldblood /blades /sectech?

fair stump
#

more like coldblood sectech blades

honest saddle
#

and cold blood is off gcd, so saying after cold blood is a mute point.

swift tinsel
#

that's not what I said

honest saddle
#

they would both go simultaneously

spare hazel
#

why do you never dane and blades at the same time? do the dmg buffs not stack?

swift tinsel
#

you don't macro them together

honest saddle
#

it all happen at the same time...

spare hazel
#

ok last question - why dont we hold rupture till we get supercharger to get a super rupture

#

or does that not work

fair stump
swift tinsel
#

it only adds duration, not damage

spare hazel
#

ah ok

swift tinsel
#

Supercharger is for sectech and evisc

half comet
#

!fuu

Blades does not work on sectech either so casting it after is ideal for max duration

#

YUCK

pliant topaz
#

yep

fair stump
#

ew

#

I'd rather deal less dmg as trickster

pliant topaz
#

my 2 target sim is like 1% higher as deathstalker now lmfao

honest saddle
#

yeah

#

but it's not higher

#

not in reality

pliant topaz
#

and im not sure trickster fazed oversim is still in or not

hazy breach
#

Did you forget to remove the overrides

pliant topaz
honest saddle
#

I mean maybe it is better

hazy breach
#

Well you couldve still had them in the custom APL section

pliant topaz
#

also do u know if nimble fazed bug/interaction are in sims?

hazy breach
#

Because they didnt increase the ratios, they just slapped an aura ontop of it

pliant topaz
#

i forgot

hazy breach
#

They should be

#

Because its an automatic whitelist

pliant topaz
#

oh nice so tricksters accurate

#

but yeah its uh not looking fun

honest saddle
#

I mean if DS is 1% better

#

you dont play DS in aoe

#

or m+

pliant topaz
#

thats on 2 targets bud

honest saddle
#

OH GOD

lilac stag
#

lol

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Well ye its in by default

#

So now the overrides just screw it up

pliant topaz
#

its 5% on 8

lilac stag
#

I only ran pre-reset

pliant topaz
#

and then just goes up frm there since its not target capped

lilac stag
#

Give me something to compare to with mine.

honest saddle
#

maybe this is what youre talking about but nimble being 40% or 45% or whatever it is instead of 50% is corrected in sims or?

hazy breach
#

Nimble is 50%

honest saddle
#

isnt it bugged in game though

hazy breach
#

But the bug is that fazed does not work on nimble

#

No

#

Or well, if youre in the khaz algar open world or dornogal its bugged and 40%

#

But not in dungeons or raids

honest saddle
#

I only run my sims as if I am attacking a critter in dornogal so...

it's still a good ring

it seems so counter intuitive to have evisc cleave with nimble and then to keep buffing bp

probs use tornado then

as DS

can we still use symbols before pull?

cant wait

fair stump

Blizzard buff trickster pls

upper narwhal
#

did they fix any of the bugs now that reset's hit or nah?

honest saddle
#

techncially they did buff trickster by buffing BP KEK

swift tinsel
#

"We see people are pressing BP too much as Deathstalker so we're upping Nimble Flurry to 75% damage"

pliant topaz
# hazy breach

so... I dont think this is actually as optimized as it can be btw. im assuming its dropping momentum buff since its playing nrmally/backstabbing, pretty sure i can get it to like 2-2.5% ish

fair stump
honest saddle
#

12+ targets

#

USE BP

fair stump
#

Imagine having 12+ targets

upper narwhal
#

also using BP to hold coup proc

#

big buff

fair stump
#

not my keys

honest saddle
#

BIG BUFF!

fair stump
#

Just in case, why 12+?

#

Isn't nimble flurry 8 targets?

honest saddle
#

Fuu just said it was like 10-12, I dunno how many you actually need

pliant topaz
#

breakeven probably lower than 12 now

hazy breach
#

Its technically not even related at all to how many targets you have

pliant topaz
#

^ FW opop

hazy breach
#

Its moreso based on how many find weaknesses you have out

#

Which is not gonna be a whole lot as strikes still do more than storms

#

So in practice it ends up being mostly just eviscerate anyway, regardless of target count

pliant topaz
#

turns out trying to get FW out means youre storming, which means youre not progressing coup, and not cleaving strike/backstabs

#

its a vibe how it works against itself

#

even though since nimble is physical having FW on other targets increaases their damage taken. but its just designed not very smartly

honest saddle
#

Tornado just needs to do bp instead of storms. problem solved

upbeat sorrel
#

do we use the talent builds on wowhead w gloomblade or is there another one since patch

pliant topaz
#

you use that one for pure single target

hazy breach
#

The gloomblade one is the goto for literally pure ST

#

but anytime theres another target you need improved storm at the top

#

Which means you cant get gloom

#

So you just take imp sht because it does something

pliant topaz
#

taking improved storm + RS over SF+GB is like -0.4% btw.

fair stump
#

And that's it

upper narwhal
#

yes

hazy breach
#

Im probably not even gonna bother

quiet pagoda
#

@hazy breach Hey ! Read your guide, but have a question - at which moment we using tornado storm in aoe ?

hazy breach
#

Like armin said the difference is extremly small

hazy breach
pliant topaz
#

shadow focus (tlaent about gloombldea)

clever delta
#

so since we BPing in raid again, whats Target count for storm now ?

upbeat sorrel
#

bet, ty

honest saddle
#

M+ build now?

fair stump
upbeat sorrel
#

looks lit imma try it out

fair stump
pliant topaz
fair stump
#

Please

honest saddle
#

I don't wanna either

quiet pagoda
hazy breach
#

TS?

sly shore
#

in a dslice

clever delta
#

so if this is DS st, i just drop SF for storm at bosses with more than one target?

upbeat sorrel
#

i love powder spam

#

reminds me of SL sub

fair stump
honest saddle
#

youd want gloom @clever delta I think

clever delta
#

where that came from

#

man im so behind with sub

#

i was like not here for some time

honest saddle
#

I think this, sapp

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

Id just recommend to play storm+imp sht all the time and not bother swapping to gloom+SF, its unironically like 0.3%-0.4%

pliant topaz
#

or imp sht

bright sundial
#

wait if we play DS in m+ do we still us DN when its rdy?

hazy breach
#

yes

clever delta
#

insane

hazy breach
#

Always DN immediately

bright sundial
#

o7

sly shore
#

singular focus

#

is kind of funny

upper narwhal
#

it's quite strong

clever delta
#

okay so SF and GB for pure ST and imp storm and replicating for cleave? or?

pliant topaz
#

or as eleem found 6/6 bp hits instead of 5/6

sly shore
#

💀

#

this spec has infinite bugs

quiet pagoda
sly shore
#

so funny

hazy breach
#

As it doesnt line up with our burst anymore, and using it during our burst decently often means up we waste shadowcraft procs

#

Its just a scuffed ability

quiet pagoda
hazy breach
#

Oh dont play tornado as trickster

#

Ah mb i still have it as nado in the build section, mb it should be veiltouched instead

tulip token
#

Can someone link me or show me a ST build for DS. Just want to mess with it on a dummy and see how it feels

lilac stag
#

Wowhead

quiet pagoda
#

And are we playing deathstalker in aoe too now ? I loved that as trickster I can do single target rotation and passively do aoe

hazy breach
#

Well deathstalker you can do your aoe and passively do ST

vale pine
#

tornado feels fine on deathstalker but redundant on trickster

tulip token
clever delta
#

btw whats prio as DS for DN? when i enter dance and have DN ready, do i proc it first finisher in dance or sectech for buff

hazy breach
#

Always DN immediately

quiet pagoda
clever delta
#

and do i ever hold DN ever for dance

hazy breach
#

BP does almost as much as eviscerate

#

On pure ST

pliant topaz
#

so its a thing we use outside of cds now instead of in cds

vale pine
#

i agree

pliant topaz
#

so its value is just by default a lot lower

vale pine
#

tornado feels outdated

hazy breach
#

So with singular focus its gonna do more than evis

upper narwhal
#

Tornado would be fine if Shadowcraft wasn't mandatory in every build

pliant topaz
#

pretty sure on 3+ targets bp does more pri than evis lol

#

im down

#

fuck it full send

pliant topaz
#

it costs too much

#

does too little

upper narwhal
#

yeah what I mean is it would be less shit

pliant topaz
#

has negativee synergy with trickster as a whole

clever delta
#

do you guys still prio EE over 8% healing_?

#

when i have imp ss taken

hazy breach
#

Typically EE for m+ and 8% healing for raid

#

But realistically with trickster it might just not be worth to have EE unless you specifically need it against oneshots

#

(since nimble flurry doesnt proc it)

clever delta
#

whats nimble

quiet pagoda
#

Sorry for bothering @hazy breach - will you update builds soon ?

clever delta
#

we are DS gamers now

#

no nimble here

ornate current
#

Do we have a full rotation breakdown for DS up somewhere ?

hazy breach
hazy breach
upbeat sorrel
#

is the mytico plus build on wowhead for DS what i should be running

hazy breach
#

Yes

ornate current
clever delta
#

damni forget how fucked up is DS with sectech

vale pine
#

the opener is the same

ornate current
#

Do we even get to cast a 2nd one we holding off the 3rd one

lilac stag
clever delta
#

but we are getting second sectech very late in opener

#

do we go around it or ?

lilac stag
#

Clear the witness starting to nut

hazy breach
#

You can fit your second sectech in your opener yes

pliant topaz
#

yeah it hits hard

clever delta
#

yeah but its like mid way second dance instead at start

hazy breach
#

Well ye

clever delta
#

so im just asking if im suppose to fit some finisher in between dances

#

or just send it

hazy breach
#

Na send immediately

lilac stag
honest saddle
#

ds in m+ is miserable because you have to manually refresh snd

clever delta
#

ovinax is only boss i would say tornado have some value

#

but thats just in my head

lilac stag
#

nah fuck tornado

vale pine
#

2nd secret is tight, also if you test on dummy make sure you have the shaman buff

hazy breach
#

Youre using darkest night

#

Its gonna refresh it for you

pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

nope

#

I'll take EB over nado

hazy breach
#

If its progress i'd honestly recommend the +8% healing over SF

unkempt hare
#

Anyone do any keys with the buffs yet?

lilac stag
#

that or imp sht

hazy breach
#

SF is basically nothing

clever delta
#

second sectech is basically at end of trasnmitter

lilac stag
#

SF I think was reminance of ST GB connectors lol

rough sigil
#

anyone have a way of tracking Darkest Night? I forget to keep track it in my head at times. Wa mayhaps?

quiet pagoda
#

But overall, does deathstalker feels clunkier to play, @hazy breach ?

hazy breach
#

Yes

steel horizon
#

Aint no way im playing DS on court tonight right??

topaz raptor
#

giga dam

honest saddle
#

it seems like a fools errand

steel horizon
#

Is it actually better at 2 target cleave though? Wtf

hazy breach
#

Its similar yes

steel horizon
#

Jesus

hazy breach
#

BP almost does the same damage as eviscerate now as deathstalker Surebud

#

On pure ST

steel horizon
#

The strangest timeline

honest saddle
#

they should have buffed nimble like 10%

#

and buffed bp

clever delta
#

what DS better at cleave

#

man trisckter so dead

honest saddle
#

nimble really should be like 75% dam or something

hazy breach
#

But we'll have to see

#

I dont think its dead

swift tinsel
#

Gonna go full BP for our heroic reclear tonight just for shits

upbeat sorrel
#

gonna need another 20% BP buff game is unplayable

pliant topaz
#

I’m down!

#

I only wanna use evis for darkest night. Bp otherwise. Based

tepid trellis
#

me everytime DN is up on AoE

still zephyr
#

im new to sub rogue would you guys say ds is more easy to play than trickster?

#

or should i just stay playing trickster

hazy breach
#

Id recommend to stay trickster

#

Maybe try branching out to deathstalker for pure ST bosses when you feel more confident

tepid trellis
#

personally, it dont change much, i think they are very similar in how hard they are

still zephyr
#

how close are they in dmg?

hazy breach
#

Its mostly in aoe that you need to use eviscerates instead of bps when DN is up

#

Its real bad if you accidently do more BPs and forget the eviscerates

upbeat sorrel
hazy breach
#

Like 6% or so

strange chasm
#

That is crazy BP is almost even with Evis on ST

#

So anything over 2 targets and you are 100% pressing BP

hazy breach
#

Its at like 85% or so of eviscerates damage

#

With momentum up

strange chasm
#

Wow lol

topaz raptor
#

need a big DN tracker in the middle of your screen

hazy breach
#

Definitely would be more enjoyable if DN worked with BP as well (and unseen blade being applied by storm while we are at it)

#

I understand the thematic element of "marking your target" with eviscerate but its just oof

tepid trellis
cobalt verge
#

Tru

strange chasm
#

So on court are we slamming black powder

hazy breach
#

If they fixed the mark bug we would be striking to apply it anyway in aoe so we would still be "marking"

#

Yes

strange chasm
#

Damn so only using evis to reapply mark

hazy breach
#

Try to hit beetles for more boss damage

I am red group

don't hit them

what's the current sub build for M+. is it the one on the spreadsheet

yes

i dont want to play ds man Despairge

!fuu

wicked joltBOT

but is the DS build ahead now?

hazy breach

Or well, can use tfd instead of wm

gleaming plank

cuz trickster is like 7% ahead on the sheet

hazy breach

Probably not

#

Sheet isnt updated since the patch came out like 3 hours ago

gleaming plank
#

heard

hazy breach
#

But its way closer

gleaming plank
#

is BP in the rotation now

#

for both or j DS

#

i havent played sub all tier

hazy breach
#

No trickster doesnt bp

vale pine
#

only in rly big pulls, and even then you trading off prio damage

hazy breach
#

Even then it usually isnt that worth since you dont have much FWs up

#

And using storm to apply find weaknesses isnt worth it compared to striking

#

So its just shrugeg

shy ermine
#

Did they fix any ds bugs

hazy breach
#

What do you think

pliant topaz

Alter time is another discord bud

hazy breach

You can step the boss during the shield grip and youll end up in a decent spot

fair stump
#

use vanish to break webs

hazy breach
#

The beam on the platform has slightly bigger hitbox than it looks like so it can hit you if you step him right as it and the grip goes out, so step a friend instead for those to be safe

candid field

so its better to evis when dn is up instead of st?

DN is always priority

Yes

ovi?

mhmm

tepid trellis
# small juniper nope

but ehm, you can step ansurek during yoinks in intermission 1, step add to keep uptime on platform 1 during yank and step a mage or smth in p3 to go over the circle

uneven fern

yea that boss kinda blows when ur still doing tech support on the was

(100 pulls)

thats like the niche rogue stuff

rest is kinda like w/e

nothing really kills you anymore

golden totem

I can't parse on ovinax whats the trick ffs

i delay as they do on lorrrgs

tepid trellis

tell other people to stop parsing

also you need to double dance every pod

bench the warriors

and frost dks

then you are good

golden totem

#

you can check my sheet kinda or video but still as stealthi said it is a padder boss now

golden totem

Yeah ofc but seems like i don't know how to pad this one

got pink/yellow on every boss but ovinax and queen

queen is skill issue

I'm going to go DS tonight and see how it goes

I'm simming almost 1.6 mil rn

havent simmed my rogue since day before kill

I think with buffs we will be one of best ST classes no?

Trickster is -9.2%

#

Yikes

gleaming plank
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

correct we will get nerfed maybe even

#

but it is at 6% better instead of 9 because of mark bug

unless some NA people found they fixed mark bug

fair crest

is the other hero talent tree expected to outperform the trickster tree in mythic+ overall, after the buffs? 👀

honest saddle

very hard to tell, I am testing high keys now

#

I am in a 12 atm playing DS, so far it seems ok.

hazy breach

It seems to be roughly the same from sim numbers

is fatebound ass good for ST? didnt realize the #'s were close til i saw the sheet

wrong channel i guess oops

alpine wraith
#

fatebound is close yes

strange chasm

I mean its as good as trickster

#

Were still a little bit behind assa

strange chasm

But the prio damage has increased no?

#

Being able to go DS

hazy breach
#

Yeah

strange chasm

Which is like why ass is so good

hazy breach
#

Assas prio is still way better

strange chasm
#

Interesting. Going to test it on some 14s and 15s tomorrow and see

#

I think it could be really good

alpine wraith
#

you do a bit more dmg if you are lucky at least

#

what 32% crit dmg does to a mfer

fair crest

how come the marks doesn't always get consumed after using a finisher, even if you have the target with marks targeted? 🤔

#

or am i crazy

ill read all the talents in the talent tree again

hazy breach
rough sigil
alpine wraith
#

also yea DN does not let you consume marks

fair crest
#

yea always above 5+ combo points

#

hmm okay thanks for the info, ill keep practicing the rotation

alpine wraith
#

if you are using bp you also need to target the marked mob

hazy breach
#

you do not need to target it

#

It still ticks down

alpine wraith
#

oh nice

hazy breach
#

But obv you should be auto attacking the marked target anyway for hunt

hollow basin
#

I'm trying to help a friend understand sub for m+ and I read you should cast sliceand dice during your opener, assuming you don't have it, but he said you never cast it physically, just eviscerate is enough. This seems to be incorrect as checking a log he casts eviscerate but no slice and diice buff gets applied? Does it just extend it?

hazy breach
#

Eviscerate gives slice and dice

#

Even if its not up

hollow basin
#

Is the log wrong then? For some reason he cast it but no buff got applied

hazy breach
#

Not sure what you mean

#

He has slice up

hollow basin
#

During this specific pull? I cannot see it in the buffs

#

Is the name different?

hazy breach
#

Wcl doesnt show buffs that have literally 100% uptime

#

If you zoom out of the that pull

#

Youll see it

hollow basin
#

For the overall log he has 80% uptime

#

we did die but I assume that's it I guess

cold frost
#

Maybe a stupid question but I just started playing rogue again (sub) what talent makes Rupture spread or hit more than one target in aoe?

hollow basin
#

fair enough, thank you for the information

cold frost
#

AAAAAHHH

#

thanks 😄

hollow basin
#

Can I ask you to refer me to a guide that would be most helpful since the on e on method's website states slice and dice should be cast and never mentions it being automatically applied

hazy breach

You can probably imagine which one i'd recommend
