and blizzard will screw all 16 of us over

#

and that number will go back down to 11

hazy breach
#

Well ye, sub was doing that before too

tribal blade
#

i have so much brain fog right now i wanted to test DS on the ST dummy, and it took me until my cds were almost back up to realize i was still in trickster

alpine wraith
#

kek

round latch
#

there are several classes that could get nerfed,Sub isnt one of them.If anything sub is getting another buff but my magic ball is still foggy,gimme some time

tribal blade
#

make nimble soft capped like BP

#

and trickster is gonna be bangin

round latch
#

i think trickster needs something like double dipping into flawless form to become rly strong

#

idk how that can be achieved though

#

something that makes all the trickster tree x2 its effect

#

like flawless form makes everything do x2 the dmg

#

and the effects like strikes giving 50% crit rather than 25

warm marlin
#

uncap both and make non-assa great again BASED

tribal blade
#

and downtime

#

blizz has a philosophy of making specs that have very short/no cds and smacks them with a target cap

#

although that's starting to shift a bit

hazy breach
#

As with most things subtlety they dont actually need to buff stuff, just fix the bugs

strange chasm
#

@hazy breach 15 SV

#

Sub is pre good id say

alpine wraith
#

blast

vale pine
#

yes, also in dance

half comet
#

is nimble flurry still bugged

#

40% instead of 50%

lilac stag
#

It never was bugged

#

Certain target dummies / locations trigger a 40% flurry

hazy breach
#

Ye its never bugged in instances content

delicate rover
#

I’m having a blast with the m+ trickster build 😮

round latch
#

that dk must be rly mad

sinful sluice
#

should i give up transmitter if im doing the webs on court?

#

getting transmitter orbs/plates seems kinda troll

alpine wraith
#

why would you do webs

#

ever

sinful sluice
#

idk im doing webs on red team

tribal blade
#

oh my god i just found out something awesome about arcane S2

#

i'm rewatching it and just realized the opening credits shows important plot points for each character

drowsy moon
#

do we use black powder at all

#

🤔

upbeat escarp
#

Like jump 2 times, stay in circle 1-2s

#

Orb you can catch easily

#

And its the only “tricky timing” , you should not use transmitter first jump of p3 anyway

#

And the last one is free after you do the last charge+dispells

cursive vapor

#

And trickster at 5+ targets

Can u shadowstep last boss Ara Kara last second and avoid that explosion? I never tried it since I was afraid to fail...but on the other hand yday I was running towards a puddle with sprint on cd meanwhile. Slow af. And that fkn Paladin came out of nowhere riding fast as lightning on his horse, stealing me that puddle. Not the first time happening, so I need a solution for that 😂

odd knoll
#

is it worth using black powder in keys while playing sub?

gritty knot
#

As DS u always BP in AOE except u have DN up, then u need to eviscerate fast no matter what. As Trickster u use BP at 5+ targets. Even in Dance.

#

Make sure to use ur 2nd charge of rotten for storm so u have find weakness up on all mobs

odd knoll
#

clever delta
#

people say that sub bp is degen gameplay but it feel so refreshing after assa prison in keys

#

for me personally after some time, assa in keys feel so ass

#

and this fucking auto tea do not help

gritty knot
gritty knot
tribal blade
clever delta
#

i do it only as last resort tho 😄

tribal blade
#

if that situation happens again just target the person who stole your puddle, then wait for the strong suck in

#

then step

gritty knot
tribal blade
#

what happens is the explosion is right after the final strong suck in

#

so once you get pulled into the boss, you can step at that point and be safe i think

#

i've done it before

sick jackal
tribal blade
#

even in higher keys

gritty knot
#

I mean as a last resort I will try it next time. Yday the whole group shittalked me because I died at that even tho the Paladin clearly saw that I was on my way to that puddle. It's just friendly fire at that Point imo...but ye. It is what it is

tribal blade
#

i prefer to just play it safe, and i keep cloak off cd too just in case

gritty knot
tribal blade
#

the most terrorism that happens on that fight is ranged taking puddles from melee

#

bitch, go stand out in africa, get outta here

#

when i timed it on 15 i was the only person besides the tank who didn't die on the fight

#

the rsham had to ankh, the lock died 2 times and the dk died once

lucid mica
#

Why does wowhead guide say to use 3 eviscerates during opener on multitarget? After the cds are popped and the Sectech is used in cds, it just rotates between shadowstrike and evis

#

Why not BP?

feral sleet
#

how tf can you die as a dk there?

gritty knot
#

Tbh that fight reminds me a lot of that one dungeon Season 3 DF last boss. It was always a clown fiesta too no matter how good that key went until that last boss. Cant remember the Name of the Dungeon tho

tribal blade
lucid mica
#

Ah

tribal blade
lucid mica
#

There was nowhere to choose which hero talent trees opener to see

gritty knot
#

Ah. It was Dark Heart Thicket

lucid mica
#

Also doesnt say in the text anywhere, if guide writer is in here maybe that would be a good idea so scrubs like me dont get confused 🙂

tribal blade
#

the last boss of DHT became infinitely easier when we started running DB instead of dust

#

so we could use vanish to combat drop casts

gritty knot
#

Ye. But it didn't stop ur group mates of dying tho 😂

#

That Boss drove me nuts

tribal blade
#

yeah that happened a lot

#

that was actually the last key i timed to cement title

#

iirc

gritty knot
#

Nightelf DB rogue was Infinite value on that boss

tribal blade
#

that was the key that topped me over 3700

lucid mica
#

So if im playing DS, i just replace the eviscs with BPs?

tribal blade
lucid mica
#

Ight, so only strike before cds and 1st global after dance popped

#

Into sectech, then just storm-BP-storm-BP-BP etc?

tribal blade
#

yeah

#

it's basically like classic sub rogue aoe, except you have to weave in evis to consume DN

lucid mica
#

Ight

#

Thank you good sir

#

Is there a specific number of mobs we wanna apply rupture to before going into cds?

#

the opener sequence only shows 2 casts

tulip token
#

I believe the rule is anything you think will live for more than 12 seconds? I could be wrong

@hazy breach thanks for the help yesterday, things are flowing nicely now, really not as bad as it seemed

Out of all of your gear offhand is the least impactful slot

#

Is there a quick guide for cooldown management and timings

lilac stag
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

Wowhead

small hemlock
#

I looked but I’m looking for a use x with x seconds left and have x ready for x

hazy breach
#

Make sure you have 1 dance and less than 40s left on the second dance whenever you flag

#

You cant really have strict timings

small hemlock
#

Can you pin that

lilac stag
#

No. We don’t have strict timings

small hemlock
#

Okay cool

lofty saffron
#

New to sub, can anyone give me the TLDR on managing symbols & dance both during burst as well as downtime? Having trouble getting 2 charges of each back for SB window. Thank you

hazy breach
#

As the cdr is based on CPs spent and the amount of cp you generate is both random and varies depending on mechanics

lilac stag
#

This isn’t assa or a send on cd spec

small hemlock
#

Yeah fair fair

small hemlock
#

Always 2x dance and sod in flag does that equal to two sec tec Also

lilac stag
#

You should have a sectech each sod

light imp
#

Feels good

lofty saffron
hazy breach
#

Somewhere inbetween with dance

#

You dont need 2 charges right when you flag

#

You need to be able to use it during your burst

lofty saffron
#

Okay so as a starting point, 2 charges of each during burst (big burn), and 1 charge of each during downtime (mini burn)?

hazy breach
#

You can typically fit 2 dances inbetween on the first "rotation" and 1 dance inbetween after that, but sometimes its possible to get two

#

On ST

uneven fern
#

isnt this still accurate enough

small hemlock
leaden prairie
#

@hazy breach is it more prio to evis or bp in like 6 targets

#

with deathstalker

hazy breach
#

BP is more at like 3

#

Evis barely does more damage than BP

light imp
#

^

#

BP does like 70% evis damage, so even at 2 targets with DS its good

#

except with Darkest night up

hazy breach
#

Thats without momentum up

#

Its more like 83% or so with momentum, which should be up all the time

light imp
#

fair, i was ball parking, lol

glacial hinge
#

Than on 3+ we only evis with DN up

hazy breach
#

On 2 or more

#

You BP if theres ever more than one target

light imp
#

i use DS in all situations at this point, even if its not 100% optimal its still well rounded enough for my taste

glacial hinge
#

Wow. But only on DS right tricks is 5+

light imp
#

trickster is 7+

hazy breach
#

Yes, and you also need to storm with a rotten stack as trickster

#

Because youll be striking otherwise so no find weaknesses up

light imp
#

or is the BP buff that strong?

uneven fern
#

is bp in aoe ever a prio/boss damage gain from singular focussy

#

or naw

light imp
#

always

#

well

#

we can get nitty gritty

#

but for the most part yes

uneven fern
light imp
#

if its only 2 targets then probably not if we're looking at strictly priority target damage

uneven fern
#

oh holy fuck

#

i didnt see that

vale pine
#

evis is a lot worse than people assume

uneven fern
#

beating it at 3t is actually fucked

#

i mean i guess for assa ct beats envenom 2t

#

but its not the same scaling shit

#

eviscerate is just garbage i guess yea xdd

light imp
#

well is it rotation "prio" or Priority damage specifically, BP at 3t might be more overall damage but at only 3 targets is singular focus generating enough damage at that point if we ignore add damage?

slate marlin
#

would it make sense to play trickster in low pull dungeons and ds in bugg pull dungeons? or its the same

uneven fern
#

im not talking overall damage

#

im curious specifically about for example boss damage on ovinax or smth

light imp
#

i figured you werent, my statement was to clarify what we're talking about

uneven fern
#

when is a bp dealing more to the boss than an eviscerate

hazy breach
uneven fern
#

and based on eleem msg

#

the answer is 3

#

which is crazy

light imp
#

coo

hazy breach
#

Or well, its mostly neutral at 3

uneven fern
#

i always forget how good singular focus is

#

it doesnt feel that big but it rly is

light imp
#

do we have an idea if we were to compare prio damage from singular focus to prio damage of trickster?

hazy breach
#

Its mostly bp being too strong in comparison that evis

#

Or evis being weak

light imp
#

or would it be the same

hazy breach
#

Did even before the buffs

light imp
#

figured

uneven fern
#

i feel like

light imp
#

since trickster only cleaves off the add whereas DS scales with each add

uneven fern
#

ds kinda goated if it didnt feel so shit

hazy breach
#

Trickster is pretty much singletargeting, which is still good prio

#

But deathstalker gains more damage

light imp
#

^ yep

hazy breach
#

Not as much as assa, but not that far off

light imp
#

thats what i was assuming

#

i just like to have shit confirmed lol

light imp
uneven fern
#

dn thingy bug is miserable

light imp
#

oh absolutely

uneven fern
#

and losing a sectech

#

cause you have to dn

light imp
#

i suppose

uneven fern
#

other than that its like fine

#

managing the mark is way easier on sub than sin

#

just annoying bug

light imp
#

while its not optimal in regards to smoothness of rotaion i see it as choosing between big dam or big dam

#

so i just go with whatever the sitation feels best

#

but yeah not being able to proc any DM stacks while you have the DN buff sucks

#

sometimes ill be BPing not realizing

#

should make DN work with BP and apply DM to the target of your BP, lol

warm marlin
#

ds is just an awkward tree, on assa managing the mark sucks and on sub pressing evis feels terrible

uneven fern
#

i dont mind the eviscerate to reapply tbh

tawdry meadow
#

Recently went though a couple week process of trying all three rogue specs (I main Paladin but have geared him to 632 - so wanted some more complex/fast paced, etc)

I gotta say Subtley is just super fun, especially considering all the burst potential.

Didn’t enjoy Assassin (dots just not my thing) and while outlaw is conceptually fun the APM is just way too much.

Anyways, love Sub, and debating making it my main next season!

uneven fern
#

its not as annoying as the bug

light imp
#

yeah if you have DN up and apply a DM with a Shadowstrike you have to evis to use the DN buff or else you wont proc any DM

#

atleast thats the only "bug" ive noticed

tawdry meadow
uneven scarab
#

One of us

ivory jacinth
#

When playing DS, would you say it is an optimization to cast non-flag SoD only with 1 mark left or DN up so that supercharger hits SecTech + DN empowered evisc?

uneven scarab
#

Ideally you sectech->dn

#

after sod

#

Both would be empowered by supercharger and you get tier bonus on evis

#

Tier bonus actually works on dn correct? hmm

ivory jacinth
#

Yes i know, but sometimes you have SecTech SoD and dance ready but you're at 2 or 3 marks, and it feels like it could be better to finish once before entering dance

hazy breach
#

You want to supercharger sectech everytime, thats the most important

uneven scarab

uneven fern
#

?

wooden light
#

I mean it's not DOTS only but if you don't manage then well you will do terrible lol

uneven fern
#

damage breakdown the dots are small yea

#

but everything else is really small if you dont play around the dots

#

so xdd

#

unlucky

lilac stag
#

There’s no multi target dot management. Just spread em by slamming them into a target and play envenom simulator

uneven fern
#

there is Hmmge

#

if pack lives long and u dont have vanish

#

but yeh not as much as sub in aoe

#

which is dumb..

lilac stag
#

You don’t slam dots into big adds on Ovi… it’s a dps loss. 😆

#

Great dot spec. Kekw

uneven fern
#

you dont rupture the ovi adds as sub either i thought lol

lilac stag
#

You used to actually have to manage and pay attention

lilac stag
#

lol

uneven fern
#

okay but like what is ur point here

lilac stag
#

It’s not a dot spec. Was that not clear? It has dot damage but zero actually multi target dot management.

uneven fern
#

well no

#

cause we agree i just dont think you know why we agree

#

assa doesnt press dots for the dot damage, correct

#

i already said that earlier

#

but you do zdps if you dont top prio maintaining them

#

so it still has "dot spec gameplay"

uneven scarab
#

Its a fake dot spec

#

ofc

uneven fern
#

outside of the details breakdown

#

the way u actually play

uneven scarab
#

Just like affliction is a fake dot spec

uneven fern
#

the bleeds have a huge focus

uneven scarab
#

its all envenom/malefic rapture

#

Dots dont do dam anymore

uneven fern
#

sub has a bigger focus on dots for the damage itself than sin does OMEGA but it still doesnt play as dotty

lilac stag
#

They just allow you to ignore a resource.

#

The great dot spec

uneven fern
#

close

#

they give you 20% agility

#

as well

uneven scarab
#

One day rupture will interact with subs kit in any possible way

lilac stag
#

Hopefully not

uneven scarab
#

Or they just remove it

lilac stag
#

Hopefully

uneven scarab
#

Im cool with either

vale pine
uneven scarab
#

yes but why cheez

uneven fern
#

i think its fine tbf im not really complaining much

lilac stag
#

some reason we have no energy for storm

uneven fern
#

im just surprised by the take that sin doesnt count as a dot spec or w.e when the entire thing falls apart instantly if u dont have good uptime Susge

lilac stag
#

There’s zero thinking with its dot management

uneven scarab
#

well ofc it counts as a dot spec

#

but its fake

uneven fern
lilac stag
#

Brain dead.

uneven fern
#

because

#

you have to maintain them

lilac stag
#

Hahah

uneven fern
uneven scarab
uneven fern
#

stop thinking about your details breakdown for 2 seconds and think about how the spec actually plays

#

not wanting to play sin because of dot management in the rotation is a perfectly valid feeling

#

no reason to undermine the guy 4 it

lilac stag
#

It’s almost like you can just throw them out and let them expire if you actually need to reapply. So much management. All good.

vale pine
#

the reason why rupture is allowed to do damage is the low amount of integration with other talents

#

rupture on sin just does too much

lilac stag
#

And by expire I mean target dies with 24 sec rupture up.

#

Vs worrying if it lives 12 seconds.

uneven fern
#

right except that you rupture for more than just energy as well

#

and rupturing an enemy that dies too fast is a damage loss even though it gives you all that energy back

uneven fern
upper narwhal
#

dots aren't allowed to do damage on dot specs because it creates an impossible balance situation where the class either has balanced AoE and doggy ST or balanced ST and cracked AoE when it can multidot. That's why Bliz made the dot specs use dots to generate resources instead of dealing damage

#

afflock and assa are the most obvious

swift tinsel
#

and why spriest goes through so many iterations for its aoe

#

because the second it gets good, its broken

upper narwhal
#

S2 DF shadow dead

swift tinsel
#

Almost every other tuning pass it gets they either add or subract 5% damage transfer through Psychic Link lol

tidal python
#

They should rework Assa to be an execute spec imo

uneven scarab
#

assa has execute already

#

they kinda are

uneven fern
#

ya

#

sin omega execute damage

uneven scarab
#

tbh theyre really strong in exe

#

Yeah

#

probably close second to arms

uneven fern
uneven scarab
#

HUGE

uneven fern
#

obv this isnt the whole story

#

but like

#

yea

#

sins execute is really good

uneven scarab
#

Df arms woulda won over

#

arms kinda ass now

#

Yeah so

#

We should give sub execute CAUGHT

uneven fern
#

Based.

#

i wanna play sub on rashanan

#

i just wanna play more sub in general i think, this spec is cool Okayge

#

still fuck outlaw tho

uneven scarab
#

Sub is baller

#

sub on rash is fun

#

sub on ovinax tho

#

Absolute crank hours

tidal python
#

Sub is fun in general when you can play trickster okayge

#

I used to hate AoEing as sub

uneven scarab
#

I like both trees just sucks that ds is kinda jank

uneven fern
#

ds sub on ovi sounds fun

#

boss damager guy pogchamp

uneven scarab
#

Yeah huge prio right there

#

even on trickster im usually #1 boss overall

uneven fern
#

im not good enough at sub yet to play it in mythic tho i think

#

next patch

uneven scarab
#

it easy

#

I believe

uneven fern
#

yea im just bad

uneven scarab
uneven fern
#

i greed and scuff my flags

uneven scarab
#

i mean thats all sub right there

#

Get the flag window down and u win

uneven fern
#

Yeh

uneven scarab
#

if you can get the cd’s down its just backstab pov anyway

swift tinsel
#

I need to get better at finishing the transmitter task right into sectech so fitting the second one in doesn't feel so cursed

#

stg I feel like I get orb 2/3 of the time

uneven scarab
#

I sat on a dummy and practiced the timing for like an hour

#

its annoying

#

Just gotta get the muscle memory right

swift tinsel
#

jump is awesome, get the two right away then jump right as sectech time

#

Yeah, that might be what I work on today

uneven scarab
#

The soak one has a pretty easy timing

swift tinsel
#

gotta do my round of concentration burning on alts

#

yeah that ones gravy

uneven scarab
#

You stand in it and about 1-2 seconds you get it

uneven fern
swift tinsel
#

I added sound queues to fuu's WA that helps too

uneven scarab
uneven fern
uneven scarab
#

250k dps pov

uneven fern
#

accurate tbh

#

weeb spec

uneven scarab
#

The dopamine of pressing sectech makes up for all though

#

Fr

wooden light
uneven fern
#

but it does go sloth mode for like, one or two finishers every once in a while

#

lole

uneven scarab
#

Outside of cd’s all you do is press backstab and maintain rup

#

Get some finishers out for cdr but yeah its slow

wooden light
#

Is the single target damage any good despite this slow rotation?

uneven scarab
#

Yes very good

#

Sub is one of if not the burstiest st spec

#

All subs damage is in its cd’s though so outside of that its very slow

#

Super high highs and very low lows

scarlet sandal
#

Seems like not efficient in comparison with assa

#

But still thinking about switching to sub to try it out

uneven scarab
#

Its just different

wooden light
#

Well Assa feels a bit too strong imo.
The pure single target is a bit underwhelming but as soon as you add a few extra targets you'll easily do 3 to 4M DPS without CDs

uneven scarab
#

sub can do the same

#

well

#

You need some sort of cd’s but

#

Its very good

scarlet sandal
#

Y, that is the difference as I see from what you saying
It very highs and very lows
You and ppl around you should be ready to your dmg output

uneven scarab
#

You have huge burst every 1:30 and 2-3 smaller burst windows between that

scarlet sandal
#

Tim to grind some versa items 😄

wooden light
#

In M+, does sub have a good priority damage like it used to have in previous expansions? That is what made we love the spec back in Legion

uneven scarab
#

With deathstalker it has VERY good prio damage

#

Trickster even too

#

just depends on what playstyle you like

scarlet sandal
#

Actually, a good question
Sub is still tickerster?

uneven scarab
#

90% of cases yeah

#

But you can play ds

lilac stag
#

If you hate yourself.

uneven scarab
scarlet sandal
#

Based on numbers from Archon, it is trickster, but as assa im so used to DS

uneven scarab
#

Trickster is easy because if you can get the st rotation down

scarlet sandal
#

And dmg output seems to be much lower in DS

uneven scarab
#

You just repeat that in keys

lilac stag
#

Is achon filtering dot7 lots?

uneven scarab
lilac stag
#

There’s no one playing the spec so a few good logs will skew things as well

wooden light
#

I really need to give sub a go then, I do not like the DS tree at all, at least when playing Assa.
Thanks for all the answers guys!

uneven scarab
#

So it’s probably very skewed yeah

prisma geyser
#

am i right in thinking, trickster never presses black powder?

uneven scarab
#

5+ targets

uneven scarab
#

You bp as trickster

prisma geyser
#

Are sims fucked then cause my sim doesn't press black powder

tepid trellis
#

swap away from weekly

#

go to nightly

tepid trellis
#

guess that they havent pushed it to simc yet

uneven scarab
#

yeah that’s my only guess

#

Buff was tuesday yeah?

lilac stag
#

They haven’t pushed apl yet

lilac stag
#

Eleem forgot

i have the apl

thats how Cheesin

You can pull it from there. OMEGAKEKW

and then you too will have it

In ST with DS, we only press shuriken with literally nothing up ? wowhead only says outside of dance but pinned says outside SoD

#

Trickster is better

#

Been doing both in keys and I think personally trickster is still probably better than DS

#

The Cdr feels better

tepid trellis
#

"feels"

#

is the keyword

uneven fern
round latch
#

i tend to believe that trickster is still better in dslice coz its prolly smoother

#

but i cba coup

#

i dont like it so im going deathstalker

#

but my keys are basicly weekly babykeys

#

10-11s so im not a fair point rly

supple jasper
#

is there a reason to not macro shadowblades into flag?

tepid trellis
#

yes

#

they arent used at the same time

#

blades you delay for after your sectech

supple jasper
#

oops

round latch
#

the opener

#

u basicly never send together

#

(so ye what lord racoon said)

supple jasper
#

ooo ok I see now

#

I glossed over the opener part on wowhead and just

#

saw this

#

reading comprehension

#

brr

leaden prairie
#

is it just stricly this talent

#

but i guess if you press bp you are also killing the funnel

uneven fern
#

pretty sure he means the numbers on the spells themselves are tuned strangely close

#

even single target

#

not like a talent thing

#

ds just makes it worse xdd

#

singular focus

#

goes crazy

#

aaah

#

i see

#

i see

#

like this thing does actual damage ?

#

so yeah

By itself on pure ST

Afternoon all, just a quick question. Are sub rogues using stones, or poisons for pve?

uneven fern
#

that isnt a choice that exists

#

you apply both poisons and whetstones

limber quest
#

oh I'ma silly billy

#

❤️ thanks

uneven fern

#

Stiletto is trash right?

#

I think I remember every rogue spec saying it was bad and to avoid it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't some strange thing where somehow it is decent or good for sub

alpine wraith
#

yea stiletto is very bad

tulip token
#

Alright haha I thought so

vale pine
#

but embellishments are overall fairly weak

uneven fern
#

raid ds drops gloomblade for imp storm on add bosses ya?

#

and rs *

#

do u have to play rs Despairge

elfin hound
#

do i shadowstrike at 5cp?

alpine wraith
#

only if you are trickster and in dance

wide magnet
#

pretty sure you just play st every fight

uneven fern
#

i dont know why it wouldnt be good

#

when like any adds are present

wide magnet
#

cuz every fight with ads they die in 2 seconds

uneven fern
#

isnt gloomblade kinda piss

wide magnet
#

idk the actual weight

#

of that talent point

hazy breach
#

If theres more than 1 target you absolutely need imp storm

uneven fern
#

thats what i thought

hazy breach
wide magnet
#

ya

hazy breach
#

Theyre just better than imp storm that does nothing on pure ST

#

Gloomblade is like a 1% talent

#

SF is like 0.1-0.2%

#

But like if theres ever 2 target and you can get a bp with fw up

#

Its gonna be more damage than the glooms

wide magnet
#

ah yea

#

bp nerfs made it like 80% of an evis right

#
  • singular focus
#

err

#

bp buffs *

#

ah and imp is good with ctw

#

ic

#

enables momentum

hazy breach
#

I mean it doesnt really matter

#

Its mostly gloom and SF being very bad

#

So you'd drop them first chance

wide magnet
#

that's like only silken court though right

hazy breach
#

What

wide magnet
#

ig it doesnt matter

#

you could do it on broodtwister

#

it's negligible

#

is bp more funnel

#

with singular focus

hazy breach
#

Yes

wide magnet
#

ic ic

hazy breach
#

And like, its not worth giving up all of your aoe

#

for 0.2% ST

wide magnet
#

is imp all of your aoe

hazy breach
#

Well it buffs your BP by like 50%

wide magnet
#

that is true

uneven fern
wide magnet
#

ya

uneven fern
#

dont think queen adds live long enuf

wide magnet
#

i'm just information gapped

uneven fern
#

depends how bad gloom rly is

wide magnet
#

easiest way to get information is to type incorrect things into the chat

uneven fern
#

i dont have the knowledge

#

to say for sure

#

im sub noob

wide magnet
#

this talent is broken basically

#

and 7cp black powder is almost == 5cp evis

#

so 7cp black powder 2tar is == 10cp evis

#

so it's gucci

#

but that's only true if all targets have find weakness

#

so imp value v good

#

esp because you can guarantee fw w/ the rotten

#

(of which you want to do with the 2nd stack because shuriken storm eats 2 stacks)

#

have people been enjoying deathstalker in m+ btw?

wanton oar
#

What's the benefit of doing shadow blades after secret technique in the opener for single target? Does it matter if I just blow them all together like the multi target?

hazy breach
#

So you dont need to press blades until you need to build again

#

Because blades doesnt work on sectech clones anyway

true

tepid trellis
#

good gameplay can only carry so far

#

if there aint results behind it

#

you are gonna get burned out

wanton oar
tepid trellis
#

you dont do that to fit 2 sectech into Transmitter

#

so you need to instantly Sectech

#

only matters for transmitter cds

wanton oar
#

Aweseme, thank you.

tepid trellis
#

rules of sectech change in a few different ways
first it depends on what hero talent you are playing
second it depends on if its a big cds go or not
trickster has alot more nuance to its sectech use since it used to get Coup de grace stacks

#

where as DS is alot more straightforward

brisk onyx
#

does DS cast a dry symbol and sectech?

#

or only dry symbol

hazy breach
#

Technically sectech does more than an evis yes but if it ever screws up your timings its not worth it

#

And its significantly less damage than as trickster since you dont get 2 unseen blades

brisk onyx
#

Now I usually want sectech and DN evis to align the two supercharges, is this right?

hazy breach
#

Ye

brisk onyx
#

ty , very uncomfortable after switching from trickster to DS.

#

How big if i tracked the MoD buff to cast bp in ST? or is it not worth it?

tribal blade
#

BP doesn't do enough in pure ST to beat evis

round latch

Hey all, I am failing hard in these 12 keys keeping up with damage. I am constantly feeling like I am behind the curve especially now that I upgraded my gear. I am still running trickster. Should I be switching to DS. Siege of Boralus is my biggest culprit, I barely drop a mill dps compared to my like 1.4-1.7 overall in other dungeons. I can't seem to keep my damage up in this dungeon at all.

round latch
#

there are so many factors that can kill ur dps

#

havent tried sub in sob yet but as sin im 1.4-1.5mil territory

#

and that is if the tank doesnt 3mob chainpull

hazy breach
#

Nothing in particular should make siege a low overall dungeon, sounds like you might be holding your cooldowns too much

#

Or just not doing your cooldown window correctly, those are prob the most common

rough sigil
#

its just so odd considering any other dungeon I don't have that issue. I don't particularly think I am holding CDs unless it is a smol pull before something big coming up/ boss.

round latch
#

uptime is the only thing i can think of,like u press ur cds and not actually spend time hitting stuff while at it

tribal blade
#

try not holding your cds at all unless the pack is almost dead

#

sub rogue does so much damage in cds

#

also if you're doing 12s don't spread as much ruptures

#

before going into cds

rough sigil
round latch
#

study it fam

rough sigil
round latch
#

open a dungeon guide check it out,pull after pull

tribal blade
#

those small shitter mobs that die fast

#

it inflates dps by quite a bit if you're able to pad on them

hazy breach
#

But for example if you have flag and blades on the pack before the second boss, you should probably just send it instead of holding for the boss

tribal blade
#

it's pretty hard to sit on cds as sub

hazy breach
#

Sure your boss dps will be lower, but rawdogging that pull without flag for 60s is gonna be horrid

tribal blade
#

it's not like sin where you can hold cds and still blast packs

Up until recently when the issue is that the keys i need just dont exist in the group finder

Or atleast theyre very rare

Feel like EU, there's a lot more interest in pushes than NA?

yeah EU is a lot less dead than NA

at least it looks like it from the leaderboards

new to sub is it normal to be completely energy starved outside of cds in keys? it feels terrible i have to be doing somethinbg wrong

hazy breach
#

!design

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".

hazy breach
#

Could definitely be doing something wrong, but it should be very starved outside cds

tribal blade
#

just gotta take a deep breath and accept your fate

#

(and try to make sure you get into keys with a shammy 😉

alpine wraith
#

you do get used to it

#

just put some music on blast and outside cds just move your head side to side

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

orchid nest
#

so is BP now worth spamming in keys and go deathstalker? or whats the talents this time around

alpine wraith
#

you can go deathstalker yes

#

but it is close to trickster anyway

#

just play what you enjoy more

orchid nest
#

BP worth actually pressing now? or still pretty dog shit damage?

tribal blade
#

BP has now received in total 55% damage increase since the start of TWW

#

so it's very good to press now 😉

orchid nest
#

ok kool, i was still playing as if i shouldnt, is it 3+? i use

vale pine
#

haha, you can say bp is good now

#

or that evis is not that strong

orchid nest

i was watching kush use on 2+ targets, but i think he was testing

pliant topaz
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

you use bp on 2 as deathstalker

#

as trickster at 4 it is worth with fw and to get DM once and at 5+ always if FW is up

tribal blade

i don't think its needed, if they want to buff aoe they can do something like a per target scaling on BP

the big season 2 questions will be:

  • Is there a strong 90 sec trinket?
  • Is the new tier set bonus good?
  • Will Raid design continue how it is currently?
    • Current Design: 120 sec intervals on earlier fights, 90 sec intervals on last 2-3.

Sub vs Assa on court, what do you guys think?

#

Im doing webs btw

hazy breach
#

Unironically think it doesnt matter, play what you prefer

vale pine
#

play what you are comfortable with, beeing comfortable is a big bonus

hazy breach
#

The only fights where theres a clear "best spec" right now is ovinax and rashanan for assa, besides those 2 you can find all 3 specs in top logs

sinful sluice
#

I feel comfi playing both, but my idea was: Assa does more dmg overall, but sub is better on fights where you have to spend your cds on exact timings

#

And i thought court was exactly like that

hazy breach
#

I mean assa doesnt really do more damage overall

#

Is my point

sinful sluice
#

I guess im doing something worng with my sub rotations then..

#

My sub logs are miserable

cerulean beacon
#

Do you guys in general save flag/blades only for bigger packs? I.e. save up on cds when the last remains of the pack are dying or during a fight with like 2 mobs with a bigger pack ahead

hazy breach
#

We do so little damage outside cds

#

So its typically just send them on cooldown

#

(as long as theyre not wasted, aka you have something to hit throughout the entire cooldown)

#

But you gotta make sure you always have enough dance+symbols charges to get 2 of each in blades+flag

#

For which the rule of thumb is to have atleast roughly 40s left on your second charge when you press flag

tribal blade
#

during heroic alt raid today the prot pally in my guild asked in discord "i'm playing lightsmith, who wants to get my buff" and then he proceeded to say he was gonna give it to the arcane mage in my guild because "i know nobody will be able to beat his burst on pull"

#

i didn't say anything because doing a lot of damage means so much to this mage, he really loves topping meters, so i didn't want to be that guy to burst his bubble

hazy breach
jaunty umbra
#

so clueless lol

tribal blade
#

and then during the opener on every pull i was on top heehee

#

i love the guy, so i really didn't want to take away what he had going for himself

#

but sub rogue do be sub rogue in cds

keen dome
#

So thoughtful, haha. That's pretty sweet not to burst his ubble.

tribal blade
#

and when we kill a hard prog boss and he has a great parse he's ECSTATIC afterwards

#

i used to kind of be the same way, but i don't really give a shit anymore

#

a kill is a kill

keen dome
#

Haha, that's adorable. But yeah that's my feeling. Parses are for farm. Kill is a kill and nothing else matters if you get the kill.

#

If you lived the whole fight and it was your first kill, that's a goddamn win

worn cape
#

Yeah being alive on a first kill is a better feeling than a good parse for me

Is DS the play in M+ or is trickster still a bit better ?

Don't worry, every parse will be better than my ulgrax parse

#

idk, i have fine parse on sikran but i struggle to do any better on other bosses

#

maybe im just terrible at allocating cds cuz i only practiced on training dummies based on wowhead guide

It's a lotta practice and I feel like it's gonna be different depending on your kill times too.

# junior prawn Is DS the play in M+ or is trickster still a bit better ?

Numerically DS is better I think but only by a small margin, and I think it depends a bit on the Dungeon
But both are playable

Personally I Like trickster more because i feel Like its Playstyle is way smoother, but I am certain there are people who like the DS playstyle more
So to conclude this, play what suits your style better

Simulation updates
If your sim is lower today, thats because simulationcraft now implements some in game bugs.
The apl should be up to date now too, so there is no need to use a custom apl anymore if you used one.
You can find the changelog of the sim > here <

What bugs?

  • Shadowcraft appears to trigger the Energy resource energize twice from Shadow Techniques
  • Darkest Night buff prevents consuming stacks of Deathstalker's Mark at 3 or below

Note: Simulations in !fuu/ !sheet are up to date.

Yo guys, so I have a question about the finerys.
I didnt do a normal or heroic raid lst week and progressed queen on myhtic so didnt kill any bosses so did ofcourse not get any finerys last week.
I did heroic last night and got 12, and then I did some normal bosses but nothing dropped, I dont have any alts, does this mean I cant get more finerys this week?

all 4

ah ok

then it makes sense

light imp
#

you can high roll 7k mastery is you're lucky to get mastery stat with tempered potion rolling

hazy breach
#

Tempered pot gives all the stats you dont have a tempered flask for. So if you have vers flask you only get mast+crit+haste whereas alchemical isnt considered a tempered flask so it will give you all 4
