losing a sectech cause you have to pop dn instead

tulip gorge
#

what do you mean by that? you hold CDs until cold blood comes back?

vestal escarp
#

kush playing one perception

delicate steeple
#

wasnt that the dark brew build on wowhead

tribal blade
#

sub feels like complete donkey dick w/o 2 points in death perception

vestal escarp
#

You're forced to one dance+sod between cds

ornate current
#

Wait, are the sim numbers in the fuu sheet with the DS bug or without it ???

vestal escarp
#

With

#

You cant take it out of simcraft without heavy tinkering

ornate current
#

Ok good

alpine wraith
#

it is without the bug

ornate current
ornate current
vestal escarp
#

Erm

#

We're saying the same thing

alpine wraith
#

sims dont have the mark krangle

#

it will get fixed any day now

#

just trust

ornate current
#

At what point do we just treat it as a feature

#

Since they arnt fixing it again

modest river

!fuu

wicked joltBOT

ornate current
vestal escarp
#

Yeah mb but i meant the same

tribal blade
#

mm so i thnk DS is the play

#

in M+

#

seeing how much overall kush is putting up with it

alpine wraith
#

well it si actually more thematic to sub just the problem is the dmg comes mostly from passive things

#

instead of skills

#

and yea DS in m+ is likely the play

vestal escarp
#

Nah bro dont judge from one key

alpine wraith
#

you just take 2 off rotten and perception and get finality

#

but also you need bigger pulls

ornate current
#

How do they not just fix DS like wtf wasnt the bug created whent they were fixing it for assa echoing reprimand ?

vestal escarp
#

Also city is the one key i would never swap out of trickster

alpine wraith
#

for it to excel vs trickster

ornate current
#

Now that ER isnt a thing why not just fix it ??

alpine wraith
#

who knows

#

why would you prefer trickster in cot?

tribal blade
vale pine
#

bp on deathstalker is good

tribal blade
#

i think dawn would continue being a trickster key maybe

vestal escarp
#

Like sure with bp you're padding on small roaches at all packs before first boss

#

But it's not my playstyle if i can avoid padding

#

Focus still too weak for prio

ornate current
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vestal escarp
#

Also as DS i would feel comfortable running keys with a bit more crit, meaning another item set

tribal blade
#

i actually have a bit more crit than the usual sub rogue because of the gear i've gotten

#

~25% fully buffed

alpine wraith
mystic ether
#

So what do we play in court now?

alpine wraith
#

and mark does a lot of dmg +witness etc

#

so yea sadly no super reason to play trickster

tribal blade
tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

i still will play it in m+ tho who cares about dmg in weeklies

tribal blade
#

STUPID damage from autos

#

it's nuts

alpine wraith
#

if thing dies in 3 secs

#

it does like at most 200k

tribal blade
#

yeah true

alpine wraith
#

mark can crit for 900k

#

a funny thing tho is sniping low hp mobs with a strike

tribal blade
#

it's a good thing i've done a fuckton of keys as sin

alpine wraith
#

and you get insta DN

tribal blade
#

i'm very used to playing with DS in keys haha

alpine wraith
#

if you want to do that in some bosses with adds

tribal blade
#

that's a good one

alpine wraith
#

yea that one is a funny one also amarth

tribal blade
#

yeah that one too

#

although i think on amarth you just BP spam

vestal escarp
#

As trickster your cds sequence feels a lot better

alpine wraith
#

snipe is when they are low hp yea you can just bp mostly

alpine wraith
#

i mean feeling is good that is why i will still do trickster likely apart from the videos etc

#

but DS will do more dmg

#

it is what it is

#

unluck

tribal blade
#

i'm gonna try out DS in some keys this week

gaunt vortex
#

Yo are u supposed to supercharge your sectec during 2nd dance in cds on ds?

tribal blade
#

at least i think so

plush roost
#

Tried DS on Sikran today for funsies, yeah that buff is pretty fat

gaunt vortex
#

Ye I was wondering how to pull it off on ds cuz on trickster it’s kinda natural most of the time if u hit coup b4 2nd dance, just gotta delay symbols then, I assume we want to get as much gcds during dance and transmitter window so 2nd sectec will end up as 3rd finisher most likely no?

fallow nimbus
#

So how do we use dance and sod between cds as DS now?

plush roost
#

Big dam

alpine wraith
#

im in court/queen jail

tribal blade
#

"i feel pretty straight right now" kush 2024

alpine wraith
#

maybe you can sneak 1 SoD+sec tech but not 100% on that one

keen dome
#

I love this weeks affix. Love my 39% versatility

fair anchor
#

That sounds so boring 😦

plush roost
#

Doing sikran, 4 min kill timer. It was CDs+2dance+2dance between, CDs + 2 dance, then I had to hold a bit

#

Did a dry sec tec which didnt feel great

#

Snuck one last dance in as boss was dying

alpine wraith
#

also remember queen is back on the menu

#

use it on lingering

plush roost
#

Mandate better than void reapers you think?

alpine wraith
#

yes

plush roost
#

For DS

#

Interesting

alpine wraith
#

it gets buffed by 30%

plush roost
#

Same logic as before

#

Yeye

#

Maybe I'll dust off the ol heroic mandate

#

Next time i do an ST fight

pliant arrow
#

Do we hold sectec for SoD or hold SoD for sectech as DS? The cdr part is so cursed when used to trickster

plush roost
#

You use SoD with Dance/Sec tec

#

So you can supercharge them

delicate steeple
#

only beaten by egg

plush roost
#

They had to krangle some specific api string last time mandate was viable

#

Maybe the current sim isn't up to date with that

stuck terrace
#

Wanna play sub so bad but don’t have transmitter 😦 skardyns feels so bad with desync

plush roost
#

Yeah its kinda cursed

tribal blade
#

playing with mandate again? shoot me

plush roost
#

Only on DS

#

Which we play on 2 fights (if you decide to play sub on kyveza monkaS)

tawdry kiln
alpine wraith
#

well if you have hc mandate and mythic contract the diff is minimal

vestal escarp
#

chat i dont wanna press bp

plush roost
#

Then don't!

delicate steeple
#

i was simming mythic vs mythic

plush roost
#

Press FoK envenom

tribal blade
#

i have a mythic contract

alpine wraith
#

i mean it also depends on kill time

tribal blade
#

doesn't really matter that much for me because my guild is gonna be locking out for a while on court

#

and queen

plush roost
#

Ye a 4 15 kill time probably sucks for mandate since its delayed 30 seconds

alpine wraith
#

well on court mandate is bis

thorny ridge
#

How ds in m+? Can /cancelaura on night?

timid reef
#

Black Powder damage increased by 20%. is that in trickster aswell or only death?

vestal escarp
#

for sub

timid reef

you just consume it

alpine wraith

dont ever cancel DN lul

Why don't we have separate profiles for trickster and deathstalker on simc?

fuck DS

Hell yeah!

Well done

if you look the other way

A kill is a kill

sonic ermine
#

am i misremembereing of was there a bug that fks with DS sims kinda?

alpine wraith
#

yes by around 2-3%

#

the mark bug

hazy breach
sonic ermine
#

so it sims 2-3% higher than it should right?

#

or lower

alpine wraith
delicate steeple
alpine wraith
#

it did a goof there because of it likely

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

no i mean it vanished storm

hazy breach
#

Thats why i havent changed it to strike

#

Because its a bunch of extra text in the APL that doesnt do anything

delicate steeple
#

is there a big diff between vanishing there and just going flag rupture into cds

alpine wraith
#

i did think about using storm stab to get to 5 then vanish strike and go into dance

#

but tbh opener is whatever

#

just crit

hazy breach
delicate steeple
#

no i mean

#

like ss flag rupture cds

winter python
#

How does it have clear the witness from 2nd gcd, am I dumb?

delicate steeple
#

like just skipping the evis in the opener

hazy breach
#

Then you lose a lot of cp

#

Since no SnD

alpine wraith
delicate steeple
#

gotcha ty

alpine wraith
#

i changed a bit to strike flag evis storm stab rupture vanish strike then dance but the diff is not super big i just like big number on evis and sec tech unga bunga

crisp cradle
#

is sim just drunk? why meld into shuriken

alpine wraith
#

that is a funny one yea

delicate steeple
#

probably like what eleem said earlier for premed no? does it work off meld

fallow nimbus
#

What's wrong with strike flag evisc vanish strike rupture cds

alpine wraith
#

you need to enter stealth

delicate steeple
#

or i guess in aoe its redundant

alpine wraith
crisp cradle
#

I asked yesterday about meld and premed and it not work like that

alpine wraith
#

you just dont get charger on DN evis

#

you can get premed from meld but need to enter stealth so only on pulls

#

not bosses

delicate steeple
#

been a void elf since legion so shrugeg

hazy breach
#

I mean ye meld doesnt do anything in aoe

#

But it probably shouldnt

fallow nimbus
winter python
hazy breach
#

Its fine to not

#

The strike and ctw does about the same damage

#

It doesnt matter

sick jackal
keen dome
#

Dumb question time but: Would we supercharge BP in AoE situations as DS in a key?

#

So instead of Evis you'd Sectec -> BP or?

#

I guess ideally you'd just line it up with DN

stuck terrace
#

Can pvp trinket be potentially good
Alternate for transmitter ?

alpine wraith
#

yea in aoe you would charge BP likely

#

nah pvp trink has lower budget

#

and also no 1:30

keen dome
#

Yeah. PvP is like 6k agi, Transmitter is 14k at 619

clever delta
#

okay so im simming 50k more than assa

fallow nimbus
#

With the fx highlight on wowhead, does coup have a animation in melee now?

clever delta
#

that cant be real

alpine wraith
#

it is the same animation we have now

#

just some wailing

#

the new one is for mark

fallow nimbus
#

I know but it's only when charging

alpine wraith
#

you also do it on melee

fallow nimbus
#

I swear my bloodelf didn't

alpine wraith
#

be human then animation class

#

first

glacial hinge
#

are the pinned talents the go to? or we playing DB again

opal mantle
#

you can just macro flag and sb nowadays no ?

alpine wraith
#

we dont play db no

#

no you dont macro flag to blades

opal mantle
#

oh okay

alpine wraith
#

you use blades after consuming premed and a finisher

opal mantle
#

ok

#

ty

wise scaffold
#

is the general opener - Evis to proc Mark --> vanish --> ss, flag, rup? - CDs etc....

alpine wraith
#

opener does not change as DS generally

#

unless you like big numbers like me

hazy breach
#

Evis to proc slice and dice

sly shore
#

SS > Flag > Evis > Vanish + SS > Rupture > Dance

alpine wraith
#

also you flag before evis yes

hazy breach
#

You dont want to scuff your timings because of it

keen dome
#

Nod Makes sense, thanks.

mystic bough
#

DS with mandate, how would we align those cds? I assume we always want to use it into lingering darkness?

sly shore
#

just on cd

#

and not if ur going to transmitter

glacial hinge
#

on fuu we are going for DB for now go for pinned right?

sly shore
#

use the one in pinned

#

for st and aoe

hot plaza
#

Outside of dance is sub meant to feel a bit energy starved in aoe or is it something I’m doing wrong? Ty 😩

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".

vivid zenith
#

hey guys,i had a sub rogue in one of my keys and he was wearing a fist weapon in off hand.. is this a thing ?

keen dome
#

It is not a thing, no.

#

!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.

hot plaza

no worries

it's all me

mystic bough

but no its not a real thing lol

lilac stag
opal mantle
mystic bough
hazy breach
#

no

alpine wraith
#

so you have time to get ready to do the quest as you sec tech

hazy breach
#

Id recommend using transmitter with flag

#

So you have a few second to do the task

opal mantle
#

and pot with sb and sd then

fallow nimbus
opal mantle
#

after the vanish

alpine wraith
#

opener is whatever

fallow nimbus
#

But using sod after rupture should always land charger on sectec and dn

alpine wraith
#

yea that is why i said not much changes

opal mantle
#

and last question do you ever press SD symbols without sec tech ? feels homeless to not do it with ds

hazy breach
#

No you always sectech in dance

#

Nothing is forcing you to use a dance+symbols

#

Just hold until sectech is ready

opal mantle
#

yea ok

slate marlin
#

We bp on 2t as ds even with no finality?

hazy breach
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

yea

opal mantle
#

im not loosing dances by doing that

alpine wraith
#

bp is big now

hazy breach
#

As deathstalker BP does about 85% the damage of eviscerate

#

On pure ST

clever delta
#

i think raidbot is funny, wanna take me haster mastery ring over crit mastery

#

hows that

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker

#

Crit stinky

tribal blade
#

damn crit is that stinky where it wants haste instead?

#

that's rough

hazy breach
#

yes

clever delta
#

i was checkin stat weights and crit was still above haste tho

fallow nimbus
#

Passive dmg enhanced by haste kekw

hazy breach
#

Youre already critting with CB, rotten and darkest night anyway

hot plaza
#

Yo guys why do we storm inside flawless pls when flawless buffs finishing moves? Ty

tribal blade
#

if i understand the question correctly

fallow nimbus
#

Outside dance

#

As trickster

hot plaza
fallow nimbus
#

Man, with DS a thing again the questions must always start with "as spec xy do i...?"

tribal blade
fallow nimbus
#

As trickster

tribal blade
#

outside dance you use storm to build>finish

merry elbow
#

Whats the command for finding weakauras?

fallow nimbus
tribal blade
#

and then when flawless drops you backstab till you get it back up again

#

then continue using storm

tribal blade
#

i already had to sit on the target dummies for a while today to retrain myself to be able to do the DS aoe rotation

#

w/o wanting to strike>evis all the time

alpine wraith
#

you still strike once for premed remember at least

tribal blade
#

true! once to consume premed

#

but that part's easy at least since we've done that for a while

alpine wraith
#

you could save the premed strike for DN

#

so you dont need to count targets

#

to storm

#

might not be a sim gain but a sanity gain

tribal blade
#

the biggest problem i have is building -1 from max with DN up

#

and incorrectly thinking i'm at full

#

and then evising

#

and then big pain

alpine wraith
#

yea if you saved the strike

#

that one goes to 7 always

tribal blade
#

true

alpine wraith
#

but yea even on st sometimes i have to think harder

#

the clincher is getting to 6

#

then having to strike again

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

tribal blade
#

that's colossal pain

#

whoever designed the DS tree

#

is a sadist

#

insert dark knight gif

#

some men just want to see the world burn

fallow nimbus
#

I guess that's one point for 11.1 that sees change

#

5 cp for marks is ok but why does dn need full cp?

#

And why does it gets more when we talent more cp? gollUMM

hot plaza
hazy breach
#

What

tribal blade
#

i hope you didn't mix up storm with a different spell and i've been telling you to do something mega cursed lol

hot plaza
tribal blade
#

the questions were so bizarre, there was no way

lilac stag
#

but if you snipe something, the reduced cd can interfere with next flag/ transmitter if you’re not careful.

idle aurora
#

This is why I hated mandate on a diff char

#

Sniping feels good and also bad

#

When you are pressing a big cd and your trinket is scuffed

#

I would do anything to get a transmitter lol :0

I’m in a weird place….i have an absolute cracked enhance Shaman I love and I started sub rogue and I love it so much I can’t stop playing it…..much to my friends irritation 😄

#

Part of it is how weirdly friendly this discord is

yeah its a jarring experience going to other class discords

#

paladin pins are absoultely useless and just memes

#

@alpine wraith where did Blizz say that Mandate was buffed 30%? I saw u wrote that some time ago

fallow nimbus
#

just tested it now. as blood elf i have no coup animation in melee

alpine wraith
#

from deathstalker

idle aurora
#

lol I just had this conversation class discords like have their own personalities. Monk discord all specs is like a straight up Fortune 500 business. Fire mage is like Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking discussing black hole math. Beast master and ret paladin is like 4chan at 3am lol. Here is like the most chill im just sitting with my grandpa on a porch while he tells me old stories and teaches me about life.

alpine wraith

Lol im probably one of the oldest

keen dome
#

Haha, yeah, Rogue discord is exceptionally chill and well run. And everyone is very friendly.

patent crystal
#

We just chill guys fr

tribal blade
#

i think it has to do with the theorycrafters here being extremely invested in sub, and they've created a good environment for discussion

#

and most sub players are also pretty die hard

#

we've been maining sub for a long ass time haha

Haha, yeah

timid reef
#

U do BP on aoe now? Im still playing trickster, or u still do evi and shadowstrike?

alpine wraith
#

as trickster you dont need to bp unless you have a lot of targets

timid reef
#

so above 8 targets BP?

#

or whats the cap rly lel

hazy breach
#

Currently cooking

#

But it seems like if youre using the second rotten charge for storm to apply FW it seems to be worth to BP on 5/6 targets as trickster

# alpine wraith from deathstalker

Hell ye. That's nice. I just wonder rn how u can make use of that for example at First Boss in Mists with mandate but I don't see any possibility rn. Maybe I am just too tired tho

alpine wraith
#

a funny thing is that witness is uncapped

#

on cds critting all mobs for like 400k is so funny

kind bluff
#

Do we ever use sectech without symbols?

alpine wraith
#

as trickster you can but be very careful

#

i have an explanation on my sheet but you want enough cdr to get a dance on time next time

kind bluff
#

What's the general rule around buff usage I keep getting my sec9nd buff windows misaligned

#

Where is said sheet sir 🙂

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

and fatal intent also procs on AoE

#

#

I guess the bigger question is do we ever hold cds. I have been full sending every time sectec comes up

hot plaza
alpine wraith
#

because of premed

#

you are wasting cp

#

and quality blades time

hazy breach
#

Flag is 24 seconds

#

Blades is 16

swift tinsel
#

You want them to end at the same time, not start

alpine wraith
#

also sec tech does not work with blades fully only first hit

hot plaza
#

Ty guys ♥️👍

opal mantle
#

so blade after sech tech ?

cinder axle
cinder axle
#

but u can Macro Blades, dance and symbole together if u want

#

ur losing one global but its not a big loss because ur opener is easyer cause of less buttons

hazy breach
#

Sure you can, but you'd want them bound seperately anyway

#

So for me it doesnt really make any sense to do it

cinder axle
#

And often u want to use sec tech as ur second finisher and then u want blades on before that

opal mantle
#

and is sectech always first spell used in sd ?

#

cause of tierset

cinder axle
hazy breach
#

Pretty much yes

cinder axle
#

in trickstar its sometimes the second

hazy breach
#

If you have darkest night up you'd use that before

opal mantle
#

oh okay yeah

#

makes sense

#

cause top logs are confusing me

cinder axle
#

u looking for death stalker or trickster?

#

cause trickster minmaxing is more complex^^

opal mantle
#

is it

#

nah ill play deathstalker

#

first time i play sub in tww but i love ds in assa

cinder axle
#

Trickster is way mor fun then DS for me cause black powder in AOE feels bad to press

#

But in pure ST its w/e

cinder axle
opal mantle
#

ye even in st tbh

hot plaza
cinder axle
#

or if coup de grace is up or not

#

example: U have Coup and enter Dance + Unseen Blade is on ur target = U use Coup first to get 5 Stacks of flawless form before u use ur Sec Tech

#

so it hits harder

#

Example 2: U Have coup and enter dance but Unseen Blade is NOT on ur Target = Sec Tech first to get Unseen Blade on ur Target to use Coupe to get the 5 Stacks of form

tawdry kiln
#

but you still use SoD to buff sectec ?

#

and not coup

cinder axle
#

there are scenarios where u use sybole without dance but it dosent happen that often

#

like if u pool for ur big cds

tawdry kiln
#

ok so Dance + SoD and coup as 1st finisher if unseen blade and coup are up

hazy breach
#

Supercharger buffs coup and eviscerate by the same amount

#

Every extra combo point is worth the same amount of damage

cinder axle
#

Y but u want 5 stacks on form to hit with tech

hazy breach
#

So 7 > 10 is the same damage increase as 12 > 15

slate marlin
#

think ill play db for now, dmg seems higher on zuldazar dummies

cinder axle
hazy breach
#

So it doesnt matter if you supercharge coup or not

#

As long as you hit sectech

#subtlety message Continueing from this:
Even though it wastes one unseen blade charge you get your sectech up earlier in the burst window which means you get more 4p value so its still worth it

forgot about that

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

cinder axle
#

I forgot about the cd u get

plush roost
#

The cdr is important

#

Very

#

Important

hazy breach
#

Also it allows the 5 flawless stacks to last until your second sectech

#

Instead of the first one

cinder axle
#

yy but we are just talkin about ur Big CD window right? otherwise with just dance and symbole it should be like i said

hazy breach
#

And the second one does way more since youll have CB, more flag stacks and more flawless stacks in general

cinder axle
#

Outside of flag i mean

tawdry kiln
#

cdr and 4p is still a thing even outside of flag, hmm 🤔

#

solution : dance with no SoD > SS > coup > SoD > SS > pray for 7 cp Sectec (idk how bad is this sequence)

cinder axle
#

Well it depends if that one finisher u Buff with the Tech is stronger then the Sec Tech you would buff with Danse Macabre

tawdry kiln
#

I stop doing theorycraft or I will drag down the sub community 🏃

swift tinsel
cinder axle
#

y maybe its better to not overcomplicate it and juse use it as it comes

tribal blade
#

it was already not great to dance w/o symbols

#

but now with supercharger

#

it's really bad to dance w/o symbols

swift tinsel
#

^

tribal blade
#

because supercharger makes your sectec and 1 other finisher do WAY more damage on top of the several dmg amps during dance

#

which means you're absolutely giga juiced layering SoD and dance together

cinder axle
hazy breach
#

Its better to only ever use CB on your second sectech in your flag window yes

cinder axle
#

aw ok i macroed the 2 and never gave that a thougt

crisp cradle
edgy zenith
#

I think DS has a lot more min/maxing than Trickster. but maybe I'm just not used to it yet

#

feels like there is more to think about

#

Ephemeral Bond or Exhilarating Execution btw

#

which one is better?

EB for raid, EE for M+?

hazy breach

Typically heal in raid and shield in m+

edgy zenith
#

gotcha

sweet trench
#

How far behind is sub in st and aoe from assa?

cinder axle
#

ST we good

#

AOE we kinda meh

#

thing is assa blasts in aoe even without the big cds

#

we only blast when we got cds

hazy breach
#

Not that far behind

sweet trench
#

I ask because i saw the % increase from recent buffs

edgy zenith
#

eleem, you running the AoE build in the pins for M+?

hazy breach
#

Id recommend to still run trickster

#

But yes i'd run the one in the pins

cinder axle

edgy zenith
#

isn't trickster the same rotation everywhere?

cinder axle
#

don´t judge me I havent played it

edgy zenith
#

DS you have to think about target count, trickster you don't

#

and having mark go on a wrong target can be catastrophic if you aren't paying attention

cinder axle
edgy zenith
#

i mean, there aren't really lmao

inner glen
#

sub new m+ meta?

gaunt charm
#

fuck assa hell, ill go back to sub now

hazy breach
#

Its "is there more than 1 target"

cinder axle
edgy zenith
#

is my point

swift tinsel
#

bc its tied to flawless form

edgy zenith
#

fazed just increases dam

swift tinsel
#

and in aoe you're likely to have everything fazed from sectech

clever delta
#

can the DS actually fit two dances betweens next cds

#

its kinda tight with cdr right

swift tinsel
#

it felt super close trying it out last night in raid

edgy zenith
#

it is, yes. but it works with Skyfury and okay RNG

cinder axle
pseudo fiber
#

so i guess we're not forced to play DS in m+

#

cause it feels like im gonna puke

final wasp
#

@alpine wraith what happened to the guild homie

wide magnet
#

u wouldn’t be forced to play it even if it were 5% ahead

#

because it’s not sin

pseudo fiber
#

i mean, im enjoying Sub too much. started with sin, but ... it gets boring really quickly

hazy breach
#

Its not like it matters much

crisp cradle
#

So, outside of dance, we do shurikens on 2+ targets right ( DS )?

hazy breach
#

For both yes

haughty mural
#

is there a rough % diff between DS and trickster m+ right now ?

crisp cradle
#

If shuriken tornado talented, we are using during lingering darkness even on ST right

edgy zenith
idle aurora
#

Am I ok not taking tornado in m+ it feels so jarring to play as a new player for some reason

cinder axle
#

somehow its clunky and i feel like i cant press my buttons

hazy breach
#

Yes

wide magnet
#

its energy cost is too high

edgy zenith
#

free and off GCD, nado would go hard

#

(this will never happen)

wide magnet
#

i don’t think it needs to be ogcd

#

it fires at 1s intervals and rogue gcds are 1s

#

it just Feels too fast

#

but it’s not

tawdry kiln
edgy zenith
#

honestly, they should just make it so that the next 5 finishing moves spent shoot out a shuriken storm after

swift tinsel
#

using the tick weakaura helps get used to it too

edgy zenith
#

same effect, without the clunkiness

wide magnet
#

shuriken tornado is clunky cuz you’re playing it reactively instead of proactively

swift tinsel
#

^

wide magnet
#

i.e. instead of knowing it will fill your combo points ahead of time you’re reacting to it doing so

#

and thus it feels significantly harder to pick a finisher

swift tinsel
#

well, you can predict when you're going to get them though

wide magnet
#

but the low gcd of the class means the intent is for you to p much always push the same buttons

swift tinsel
#

yeah, it just kinda feels disruptive in general as a cd

wide magnet
swift tinsel
#

getting the extra cdr is nice-ish

edgy zenith
#

my only gripe is the waiting for the first one to go off basically. after the first global it feels fine.

swift tinsel
#

for sure

wide magnet
#

yeah fair enough

#

i think stornado feels great when you press it at 100 energy and you have both energy talents :^)

swift tinsel
#

Like people were saying yesterday, it doesn't really fit with sub all that well anymore and should be looked at/reworked/removed

cinder axle
#

did anyone play keys today as DS with Tea and likes it?

swift tinsel
#

Make BP that hits rupture do something like nightblade amp

wide magnet
#

i don’t think players enjoy pressing rupture

#

on sub

swift tinsel
#

agreed, which is why it should do something interesting

#

bc I don't ever see it getting removed from sub

wide magnet
#

mm

#

sub rupture is very silly

cinder axle
#

You just press it if u got nothin to do while out of cds

#

or at the start of the gather

swift tinsel
#

Agreed, I'm nostalgic for nightblade obv lol

wide magnet
#

i didn’t play rogue at that time so i have no opinions

swift tinsel
#

and the scope of what they can do with rupture is a bit limited without it feeling like its getting copied from sin because they actually interact with it

fallow nimbus
#

man it's hard to relearn bp spam dead

wide magnet
#

i feel like blizzard could relearn a lot from riot games

#

albeit a bit different paradigm bc wow is less complex than a moba

haughty mural
#

Nightblade - Only useable on one target at a time. Finishing move that infects the target with shadowy energy, dealing massive Shadow damage over time. Deals its damage faster while Shadow Dance is active. If an enemy dies while afflicted by your Nightblade, you regain energy based on its remaining duration. Lasts longer per combo point.

Replicating Shadows - Periodic Damage from your Nightblade erupts, dealing 20% damage to nearby enemies. Reduced beyond x targets.

#

no multidot spec anymore

#

RS bug fixed

#

your welcome

wide magnet
#

but riot cares a lot about relaying intent through gameplay loops

#

and i’m not sure if wow has cared about that since mop

fallow nimbus
#

target lock is a big no no

swift tinsel
haughty mural
#

it is no target lock

fallow nimbus
#

one reason DS feels shit to play

swift tinsel
#

So have replicating allow 2 targets to split dmg

#

and tune accordingly

fallow nimbus
#

if it's just a big dot with cleave then it's fine i guess

haughty mural
#

yes thats what it means

wide magnet
#

one of the big issues with rupture is that outside of very thematic dots like garrote dots are just not allowed to deal damage

haughty mural
#

they want us to keep smth like it as maintenance

wide magnet
#

you are playing a cast efficiency game with rupture vs another finisher

#

instead of incentivized to press rupture because it does a lot of damage

fallow nimbus
#

man marks on ourself, mark bug fixed, rs fixed and it could be a nice spec

swift tinsel
#

have it store % dmg during dance and pop at end

it's so interesting that letting Clear the Witness procs fade is a gain. I would imagine since dance CDR is so bad, we would munch up the procs whenever we could for the extra points

#

also, what is the reason for not using Clear the Witness in symbols? i understand for dance, bc SS, but why not in symbols? isn't symbols just a flat % damage increase?

#

Inevitability is the only reason?

Just got transmitter yesterday do I macro it to flag

Or do I want it before flag

iron fjord

not macroing is better as you get more control on the position of the trinket spawn

macroing to Flag is fine and won't lose you any damage

lilac stag

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.

Do we start using BP now that its buffed? Or is it still evis in aoe aswell?

if you are trickster it is likely you still evis until higher target count

You gotta make sure to use a rotten charge with storm to apply FW, otherwise its not worth

5+ targets bp?

Ye

Its about equal on 5

tidal meadow

just getting back into sub, havent played it since SL s2

As deathstalker you BP at 2 (while still using evis for darkest night)

tidal meadow
hazy breach
#

even for prio damage for deathstalker bp is better

hazy breach
#

Its atleast way closer than before

bleak wind
#

I would assume DS for stonevalt or arakara at least

young path
#

Iron wire is phenomenally good in keys though, so you’re really competing with 2 things imo

General WoW public that probably doesn’t know much about rogues and sees a tier list saying assa is the only viable spec

Secondly, I speculate groups that want iron wire for add management

I’ve ran a few 12s and 13s with equitable io assa rogues and haven’t lost in overall yet (pre BP buff)

What would a Deathstalker build for Add fights like Ulgrax or Bloodbound Horror look like?

The rule of thumb is to have 1 charge and atleast 40s left on your second charge whenever you press flag

To have 2 during cds

2 dance 2 sod during flag+blades

You should always use 2 during cds yes
