When we were just lads

sly shore
#

ignore the fact there was only 4 and 3 parses

#

dw about it

alpine wraith
#

nice

iron fjord
#

9 minutes??????????????

#

what fight was that

sly shore
#

silken court

lilac stag
#

assa has always been the more straight forward rogue spec. you still had to understand rogue. sub was typically nightmare fuel, and outlaw pushes the limits of arthritis

alpine wraith
#

reminds me of my hard fough battles with grimzyo in palace

#

i was 100 or 0

#

1v1 battle

alpine wraith
#

and well there were like 2 or 3 private loggers i thin k

#

oh while looking for my old pfp i found some cool things

woeful barn
#

lol

cinder axle
#

sin is better + maybe u dont have the needed gear for sub

#

alright someone give me the rundown on AoE/M+ trickster now: shuriken storm second global in SoD for FW, how many targets are we BP?

#

and how many targets shuriken storm, or never? in cds

woeful barn
#

Sec processing

#

Swap Sin

edgy zenith
#

sub is fine

#

ur just bad if you can't keep up

woeful barn
#

Yeah I’m jk

edgy zenith
#

(im also jk)

woeful barn
#

In the grand scheme of things son. We are all shit

#

Based

#

Fuu has a write up on target count tho p sure I’m looking

lilac stag
woeful barn
#

It is still 5+ then nice

lilac stag
#

It’s 4

#

For a stack of dm

woeful barn
#

Ty

lilac stag
#

That’s DS

#

I thought you wanted trickster

edgy zenith
#

i do, is trickster 2?

lilac stag
#

What did I just type?

#

was it confusing? Since 2 of you didn’t get it

woeful barn
#

I wasn’t asking

edgy zenith
#

i asked for in CDs at first

#

then I asked or out of CDs

woeful barn
#

lol

edgy zenith
#

because those are different normally

lilac stag
#

It’s 5

#

We don’t do shit outside of cds

#

So whatever makes you happy

woeful barn
#

I spam detection and feint

edgy zenith
#

i am NOT pressing backstab at 4 targets

#

ur trolling me

#

someone who isn't trolling me come help pls

lilac stag
#

you are for flawless

edgy zenith
#

ty

#

yeah once

#

you freak

#

stop being pedantic

woeful barn
#

Um akshually

alpine wraith
#

yea you storm outside dance then you stab if flawless falls off

#

until it goes up again

edgy zenith
#

how many targets

#

3? 2?

alpine wraith
#

all targets

woeful barn
#

5

edgy zenith
#

wat

alpine wraith
#

storm begins at 2 if you meant outside dance of course

edgy zenith
#

ty

alpine wraith
#

but the stab if flawless falls off is target independent

edgy zenith
#

pulling teeth bro

#

yep, ty

alpine wraith
#

for deathstalker you still spend witness outside dance and SoD even in st too

lilac stag
#

bro thinks he’s getting flawless back in one stab

alpine wraith
#

well usually it does not take super long but you can be unlucky

edgy zenith
#

it's like 2 max

#

wtf are on about

uneven fern
#

u are getting baited

edgy zenith
#

i must be

#

and BP is 8+, right?

lilac stag
#

No

uneven fern
#

5

edgy zenith
#

or 5 as well as storm

#

okay

#

so 5 target we go bongo cat

#

got it

alpine wraith
#

after you put out ruptures if they survive long enough

woeful barn
#

Bongo cat is wild

#

Ima use that one

#

@alpine wraith is your stream muted I’m not getting audio

alpine wraith
#

yea im not doing anything rn

#

just bench PoV while i craft shit

digital aspen
#

checked pins, im not very familiar with all the apl tech talk etc... do we still have to use custom apl for mandate to sim correctly?

lilac stag
#

no

alpine wraith
#

basically now hc mandata is almost the same as mythic contract

#

and M mandate is above everything by a bit

#

if used correctly

edgy zenith
#

bro on god I said "wait since we're DS now does that make mandate better than everything else?" and I got a no from Eleem

#

grr...

#

something about the timing or something

alpine wraith
#

i mean the diff is not huge

#

yes you need to use it on lingering darkness buff

edgy zenith
#

yeah, Eleem said it's worse timing now or something

#

so it's not as good as it used to be on DS

alpine wraith
#

yea blades lasts less

#

so it is a bit more akward to use

timid pulsar

cursive vapor
#

we don't play tornado in m+?

alpine wraith
#

you can play it

upper narwhal
#

tornado in M+ is fine

alpine wraith
#

but it is annoying

upper narwhal
#

plays like shit but dmg wise it's fine

cursive vapor
#

ahh right its the choice between tornado and vt i forgot

vale pine
#

the spell became more of a filler than a burst spell

zenith hollow
#

do you always want to sec tech first finisher in dance or only when blades is off cd?

alpine wraith
#

almost always

flint parrot
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
idle aurora
#

what do you all bake transmitter into

#

flag?

alpine wraith
#

i have it standalone and use it as i open

#

but some people have it on flag

#

i like it to have alone so it is more comfortable to do the 45º-60º angle switch to get better spawns

clever delta
#

btw can you precloak spikes on silken?

#

sending cds there

worn cape
#

Heey guys, I am new here, can someone explain why sub rogue is not supported for WoWAnalyzer?

alpine wraith
#

second intermission?

clever delta
#

yes

alpine wraith
#

think you can because it is nature dmg but im not 100% sure if you need to 1 sec cloak it

#

for it to not impale you

sly shore
#

And no one wants to do it

worn cape
#

I see, that's too bad.

stoic granite
#

i hate coup de grace, got me killed on queen Ansurek a few times...

sinful sluice
#

wiping entire raid by pressing evis feels really bad

short radish
#

just play DS then 🙃

lucid jackal
#

dont u just play DS Now

#

Yeh

#

DS isn't that bad tbqh

short radish
lucid jackal
#

I like trickster more but the main fun parts of sub (imo) are still there

#

If anything, I like it more, because of the very minor annoyances that trickster brings

#

I rarely died to the charge but the times i did were extremely frustrating

sinful sluice
#

idk, my sub dmg is kinda really sad and miserable to look at

short radish
#

just delete teh charge

sinful sluice
#

so im just doing assa for raids now

short radish
#

dunno why its there

lucid jackal
#

krill issue I fear but understandable

short radish
#

i blame everyone asking for DFA

lucid jackal
#

Sin is really good too

short radish
#

now we get DFA at home

sinful sluice
#

not sure why i have such low dmgs

strange chasm
#

guys sub is good in keys

#

almost beat enhance

lucid jackal
#

Sub is broken OMEGALUL

strange chasm
#

2.6mil overall for me in ara 15

lucid jackal
#

Sub was already very good, it did not need a 5% buff

#

almost 6% buff

#

And while having funnel is helpful sometimes, having more "vomit damage" is also extremely good

strange chasm
#

enhance 2.8mil with pi

lucid jackal
#

Like in a big pull u can just BP and do mega damage

strange chasm
#

yeah the bp is insane

#

and its not pad

#

its funnel XD

lucid jackal
#

I mean it's a lil pad but

#

It's a big number so u deal with it

hazy breach
#

Idk still feel like trickster is better

strange chasm
#

I am running trick

#

not DS

#

since you still get to BP 5+

lucid jackal
hazy breach
#

Dungeons specifically

strange chasm
#

done both and i think trick is better

#

the cdr is just so much nicer when you are chain pulling

steel zinc
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
sly shore
#

with the mark bug

#

trickster shits on it

#

it plays better too

#

cos more dance cdr

vestal escarp
#

sod uptime by spamming strike in dance

swift tinsel
#

In sims DS beats Trickster by 1% in ST and Trickster beats DS in dslice by ~4% for me, I dig it

sharp lark
#

i tried a key ad Deathstalker and it was really meh to me

lucid jackal
hazy breach
#

At the start of the expac you could reduce your mark count below 3 with darkest night up

uneven fern
#

cant consume mark stacks while you have DN buff

hazy breach
#

Ie if you had DN up and went strike > sectech > you'd be at 2 marks

shrewd lantern
hazy breach
#

Now you cant proc the mark in any way until you use DN, and it will leave you at 3 charges instead of 2.

uneven fern
#

ye it barely affects sin at all but makes sub feel like complete shit

#

so ur gonna get ignored until like

#

11.1 at minimum

#

maybe the entire xpac

#

lock in

shrewd lantern
#

Rogue hero trees feel like they’re stuck in beta

#

meanwhile shaman and dk trees

uneven fern
#

fatebound is okay i think

#

and trickster is okay minus coup having a charge for some reason

shrewd lantern
#

Warrior’s slayer tree is a better entirely passive one

#

imo

uneven fern
#

mm

#

mayb

#

i havent played any classes except dh and rogue

#

and dev evoker kinda

vestal escarp
#

idk bro stormbringer is like giga residentsleeper

#

what up with praising shammy hero tree

shrewd lantern
#

i mean at least they have 2 playstyles

graceful crown
#

ha-ha-how's it going, bros?

shrewd lantern
#

same dev though

hexed bluff
#

Dev is kind of ass as they only have one viable tree

strange chasm
graceful crown
#

is he mad or happy

strange chasm
#

happy

sly shore
#

real

uneven fern
#

aldrachi sucks balls tho

prisma wave
#

Aldrachi is fun imo

shrewd lantern
#

It’s a pretty badly done tree

#

Felscarred is pretty simple and effective

prisma wave
#

Simple = lame

#

Felscarred is inherently flawed

shrewd lantern
#

so is aldrachi

prisma wave
#

aldrachi is not inherently flawed - you may not like it but its not flawed

#

However, tying 85% of a trees damage power to your major defensive CD is an inherent flaw design.

#

Is trickster still better in M+?

#

Heard some people saying Trickster is better on sims but DS is better in reality

#

Is that true?

brisk onyx
#

I don’t think so

radiant haven
#

would anyone be willing to look at a m+ log and tell me why im so energy starved?

#

besides the downtime yes ik its supposed to be, but im below healer sometimes outside of cds

uneven scarab
#

!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".

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

ok imp sht feels so much better on court

#

the RS bug is gonna make me lose my shit

tribal blade
#

you actually lose so much cdr playing RS

radiant haven
wind canopy
#

You are if you don't have major CDs or Dance

radiant haven
#

thats insane

wind canopy
#

I mean, you can't be both insanely strong in CDs and out of them.

#

If you did, you'd have your CDs nerfed. And that's how you get a flat-lined profile like outlaw

radiant haven
#

at least sin i feel useful outside of cds

#

but i like sub alot

#

just bad rn i guess

#

i am

short radish
#

press rupture

#

you shouldnt be below teh healer

wind canopy
#

I mean, in keys, sure. You can use your bleeds to just have infinite energy. But there's a cost for it

radiant haven
#

i do rupture

short radish
#

i dont believe you

#

rupture hits for a truck

#

what level keys are you doing

short radish
#

well

#

looking at first pull

#

where you pop all your cooldowns

#

then i assume you get stunned or soemthing

radiant haven
#

yeah besides that

#

i got sunlocked

#

stun

short radish
#

because youre afk for like 10 seconds kek

#

sometimes pulls do happen though

#

where you just do poop

swift tinsel
#

you can cloak or vanish overgrowth if that's what stunned you

wind canopy
#

Did you not have Cloak available?

#

Yeah, I was gonna say, could save the vanish in case you do get targetted

short radish
#

yeah that vanish on the opener

#

is kinda not needed

swift tinsel
#

that's what I typically do and it deletes that mechanic

short radish
#

also in m+ i tend to do quick opener

swift tinsel
#

bc you can storm and don't need premed

short radish
#

so ss -> flag -> rupture -> ceedeez

#

and save vanish for a defensive

radiant haven
#

i just wanna know about the energy im aware i had a cd

#

its my 2nd day as sub

#

ever

swift tinsel
#

Energy will feel meh outside of dance

short radish
#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

esp if you're using storm regularly

#

its a pain point of sub

short radish
#

storm cost a lot

#

its like 55 energy

#

and you recover 11 a second

radiant haven
#

like after cds spreading ruptures alone takes forever

#

spec feels amazing during cds i just didnt know if th elows were supposed to be that low

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, its the tradeoff

radiant haven
#

bc sin i feel like i am still a class outside cds with caustic

swift tinsel
#

if you execute your burst well your damage is fucking insane

wind canopy
#

Again, there's a trade off with sin. And that's your ST is awful

#

Unless you pull mobs onto a boss or something

radiant haven
#

i guess i just get used to literal afk sometimes it feels so wrong

#

again i am ass i just picked it up but it just feels wierd

#

downtime

swift tinsel
#

You get used to it, def feels weird at first

wind canopy
#

Every spec has a weakness

radiant haven
#

well yeah of course. just not used to the weakness being physical donwtime. usually a trade off for st or aoe or funnel

tepid trellis
#

its goated

radiant haven
#

LMAO

#

i also mained havoc before this too so maybe im just tweaking

tribal blade
radiant haven
#

its 45

short radish
#

isnt it 55 energy?

#

or is it 50

#

i dunno

#

feels like 55

tribal blade
#

45 😉

#

casting storm twice is almost our entire energy bar

#

which is nuts

wind canopy
#

But yeah, resting in between CDs is really nice. Just maintain the buffs you need while figuring out your next plan of attack

tribal blade
#

i think it's toxic

#

just make storm 35 again

swift tinsel
#

make strike cleave again

#

certainly wasn't demonic

tribal blade
#

that tier set was really cool, it just sucked ass because of the rng aspect

tepid trellis
#

nah it just sucked

#

worse sub timeline to exist

still quartz
#

👀

swift tinsel
#

Lol I had a vid at one point where I had like 70% blades uptime on a kill bc of that set

#

was actually stupid

tepid trellis
#

one of my rank 1s from that season

wind canopy
#

Hooray infinite dance and SB uptime...

tepid trellis
#

highest ive seen was my back then guild other rogue

#

have 92%

swift tinsel
#

holy shit lmao

tepid trellis
#

on worm boss

swift tinsel
#

yeah I think that's the one I had the same percent uptime on

strange chasm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tepid trellis
#

look at the start of this fight

#

that was almost 2min of perm blades

wind canopy
#

I don't miss those days

strange chasm
#

yo i think shaman needs some more nerfs

#

15 NW

hybrid prism
#

just got my heroic transmitter

#

pog

wind canopy
#

Or just buff sub

hybrid prism
#

ye, I always hate that about blizz's philosophy. If something is way better than everything else, everything else should be buffed to its level. Unless its broken and not working as intended of course. Then that spec still feels great, but everyone else is brought up to its level.

tepid trellis
#

its gonna feel less great when its suddenly not 40% ahead

#

as long as gameplay isnt touched

#

but only dmg

#

but unfortunately for alot of people doing the highest dmg is what makes something fun

edgy zenith
#

wait, why does trickster have better dance CDR in keys? aren't you pressing storm at 5+ targets whichi s like every single pull?

#

trickster only gets better dance cdr because of coup, right?

#

or am I missing something?

#

like sure, you get better dance CDR on bosses, definitely. but is it really noticable outside of bosses?

indigo crest
#

Is sub the hardest spec?

edgy zenith
#

dunno about hardest, but definitely up there

#

also depends on what you find hard. if you are worried about mechanically "complex" specs. fire mage is quite mechanically complex. sub is pretty easy mechanically, just a lot of moving parts you have to keep track of

hybrid prism
# tepid trellis but only dmg

Well when you are hitting for 1.5 million with an ability and then you notice you are hitting for 1.1 million with that same ability, it feels like shit. If you buff everyone else, you feel exactly the same, but they all feel better as well.

edgy zenith
#

on AoE

tepid trellis
edgy zenith
#

how often do you really use coup?

tribal blade
#

and you only backstab to proc flawless

#

other than those 2 things you're spamming storm

edgy zenith
#

I haven't played it since BP changes, but I would imagine you are rarely pressing shadowstrike

#

wait I think you storm at 5+ targets, no?

#

even in CDs

tribal blade
#

can double check, maybe stuff changed and i missed it

edgy zenith
#

pretty sure anyway. talked about it with Hacha earlier today

#

unelss I misunderstood

hybrid prism
# indigo crest Is sub the hardest spec?

It depends. I think it’s up there as one of the hardest specs in the game. I think rogue is one of the harder classes period and that’s why we are the second least played class. A lot of people don’t want to put in the effort to learn it optimally so they don’t play it. Once you do figure it out it feels so cool. We’re built different.

indigo crest
#

@hybrid prism my boys are challenging me to play the hardest class/spec and theyre saying sub rogue, so i send it on sub rogue?

tribal blade
#

if you don't spam strike you lose out on a lot of UB strikes

hybrid prism
edgy zenith
hybrid prism
#

Plus we are the coolest class and spec period, so that too

edgy zenith
#

doesn't make sense to not use UB

tribal blade
#

maybe something changed and i missed it

hybrid prism
#

Your name is literally prophet, you are supposed to know these things before they happen

edgy zenith
#

I also think 95% of all Havoc players are GIANT griefers

#

and don't know what they are doing

indigo crest
#

Thanks for the inputs guys

edgy zenith
#

because I see Fragnance on Havoc and it's on another level compared to any other Havoc player

#

can't say that same thing with any other spec in the game

tepid trellis
#

fire mage? PogO

edgy zenith
#

Frostfire Fire is p complicated

#

gotta track like 6 things

#

and it just became meta so

#

used to be sleeper as Spellslinger

#

Sunfury*

#

but more complicated now

#

and Arcane just got ez af bc of spellslinger instead of Sunfury

#

and mage is hardest class for defensives/utility/etc.

#

so

alpine wraith
tepid trellis
#

trickster bp's at 4 (once for dm)

#

storms at 5

#

inside of cds

alpine wraith
#

trickster you still use strike in dance once to consume rotten then storm once to get FW then you keep striking but now bp

#

instead of evis except when you get coup then you evis to consume it

#

it is easier than it seems

edgy zenith
#

so you're NOT using storm as generator in CDs

#

just using one for FW

tepid trellis
#

you use at 5+ for Fw yes

#

to make BP truck

edgy zenith
#

but you only use it once to maintain FW

#

not spamming

alpine wraith
#

yea just once to get the crit and get FW yes

edgy zenith
#

ahhhhh

#

this was my misunderstanding

#

I thought we go full bongo cat at 5+ targets

alpine wraith
#

that is deathstalker at 3+ 2+ with witness up

#

trickster has no bongos

#

lost them in panama

edgy zenith
#

gotcha, thanks hacha

tribal blade
#

jesus 639 insignia is a 1% dps increase over 639 tailspinner for DS in st

#

didn't even realize until i simmed it

how much DS hates crit

"no wait, i'm dying for some reason"

that talent is soooo troll

eleem said smth about bp on 2 targets

#

that's only true for ds right

tepid trellis
#

yes

tribal blade
#

oh shit speed is hard gapping everyone

#

what a chad

#

oh and casual is running with a new team

wide magnet
#

it's not worth to waste the second rotten proc to ensure fw before sectec on large target counts

#

?

tepid trellis
#

sectech is like 80% shadow

wide magnet
#

yea

#

wasn't immediately sure of the breakdown

#

because details only shows it as physical

#

i'm mid key rn rofl

#

i figured it was something like sectec not showing akaari's soul on details

tepid trellis
#

so like 12% more dmg on the physical hit aint all that much

wide magnet
#

word

#

ty

#

is it 2 targets where it becomes worth to sblades before sectec

tepid trellis
#

no clue, ive always delayed it for after sectech

#

in my head it makes 0 sense to use it before

#

dont know why it uses them together on AoE

#

would be an eleem/armin question

wide magnet
#

yeah i was under the impression it did not work on akaari's soul

#

phys hit must be that important on mt

tepid trellis
#

yes blades only works on the physical part

#

but it doesent do that much

#

so i dont really know why it would be worth it

wide magnet
#

unno..

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

eh pretty sure 1 extra bp is more dmg

#

but eh

#

im to lazy to do apl work anymore

#

im too deep into lost ark atm

#

i cant help but turn on my tc brain in that game either

alpine wraith
#

the extra strike/bp is more dmg than first hit of sec tech

#

also you get more time on higher DM stacks and blades works with autos now kinda

tribal blade
#

just gonna chill

#

Oh lord

alpine wraith
#

tbh if haste gave reduced GCD for sub people would trip their eyeballs

plush roost
#

It would make gearing all 3 specs easier at least

alpine wraith
#

because you could now tornado with full cp and enter dance and do 5 finishers ina row

#

and also use SoD because shadowcraft refuns come and you can expend them before next refresh

plush roost
#

On the real tho, Tier sets have to be hero talent based now right?

alpine wraith
#

unlikely

plush roost
#

Like why add these new things and do nothing with them

#

Probably not but I could see like Each Unseenblade/Deathstalkers mark grants 1/.5 cdr to shadow dance and secret technique as an idea

#

Idk i just hope they're interesting and not just you do more damage after pushing this button in your normal rotation

lilac stag
#

2pc: dance cdr increased by .2
4pc: replicating shadows bug no longer happens

Hire me bliz.

plush roost
#

Why stop there?
2 pc, replicating shadows bug never happens
4pc, replicating shadows spreads to 3 targets. The bug has been reintroduced.

vale pine
#

2p: rupture spreads to 10 targets
4p: when you cast evis, you apply rupture

plush roost
#

2pc, rupture has a 33/66/100% chance of duplicating itself as a shadowed rupture but it will never line up for your parse

#

Hmm

vale pine
#

i think you played season 3 df ^^

plush roost
#

How could you tell! Hehe

alpine wraith
#

and then you wipe

tribal blade
#

up until a certain breakpoint

#

i imagine it would be something like "as soon as you hit X% haste you can fit in Y number of gcds into dance"

tribal blade
vale pine
#

ye should be "all enemies" not 10

tribal blade
#

rupture spreading should become faster in general for sub baseline

Delete rutpure. Bring abck nightblade.

I'm not sure what it should do. But I like the idea of it being something we use to amp our finishers somehow. Can't just be Rupture But Different.

#

Every enemy with Nightblade on them takes a tick of damage whenever you eviserate an enemy with it on them I dunno

clever delta
#

haughty mural
clever delta
#

and what a beast spec if you make your cds right

lilac stag
#

rework assa to be a dot spec. Get rid of the damn dot on sub.

haughty mural
#

make it so it can only be active on 1 enemy

#

make it do massive damage with an interaction with dance(because finisher )

#

and probably make it cleave per tick with replicating

#

so you dont have to multidot

keen dome
#

good point

#

DoT spec. Gun spec. Finisher spec.

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
#

i mean if they want us to have atleast one maintenance thing going on atleast make it only usable on 1 target so we dont have to multidot

keen dome
#

I do like the idea of a maintenance thing but it should feed into the est of our kit in some form

haughty mural
#

i posted it some other day i think, but i thought about smth like that:

#

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.

lilac stag
#

remove snd from finishers. Add mastery back to it.

#

Donezo

#

if you have to have a dot, go the route with torghast. Strike applies it.

haughty mural
#

didnt play much SL
just rupture applies on strike ?

haughty mural
#

just looked for it but thx

#

Torghast was kind of a hot mess at times

fair anchor
#

Change rupture for nightblade and replace the useless talent of your choice for "Caustic Rupture" or "Rupture spatter", take your pick Cheesin

woeful barn
#

Could spice it up and add a finisher that has a nice 8yd range or so with a nice dash effect. Might even make it hit for 50% more than evis.

Isn't PE only taken in the delve build or something like that

hazy breach
#

Pe, warning sign, gloomblade, imp sht, replicating, veiltouched and gloomblade are all roughly the same power level

#

So its mostly pathing that decides which one of those we take

latent finch
#

At silken court i see alot of logs holding dances a very long time whats the reason for that? To have enough for intermissions with cds?

strange chasm
#

You send cds into damage amp

hazy breach
#

Probably during the shield intermissions where you stop damage

latent finch
#

You stop dmg in the intermission to get cd timings right or is it again some weird spell que stuff from the bosses?

plush roost
#

Mostly cd timings, theres literally nothing happening during intermissions

Wheeee i go in a circle with my buds

@hazy breach what should my m+ breakdown look like as DS sub

BP should be top in damage usually as ds

alpine wraith

cursive vapor
#

Is there any Situation in trickster sub where you wanna use storm/bp in single target boss fights in m+? Or thats a total no go?

sly shore
#

Nope, never in single target

vestal escarp
#

In m+ when you feel ethically ok about padding

#

From 5 targets above

pliant topaz
# sly shore Nope, never in single target

we dont like to talk about it but before the 20% buff it was a 0.1% dps loss for a few strategic BP's to hold coup better for flag alignment. it happened llike maybe 3-4 bps a fight

#

with the 20% buff though hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder if i should look at it again

sly shore
#

Yeah I remember dead

#

Probably should

#

But I don't think you play deathstalker in raid still

#

with the bug

#

💀

pliant topaz
#

I was actually telling fuu and eleem, but after the bug being added to simslooking at deathstalkerr distribution it looks funny

swift tinsel
#

It's only simming ~1% ahead in st for me so I'm sticking with trickster for raid

pliant topaz
#

you can litearlly RNG into getting turbo fucked

#

for fun

#

look at the fucking long tail on the left

swift tinsel
#

yeah that floor is looking pretty funny lol

pliant topaz
#

I atleast enjoyed raid logging as trickster, after one night of reclear with deathstalker I now have 4 weeks of excuses lined up to skip even raid logging

swift tinsel
#

lmfao based

haughty mural
#

ds is really like that huh?

#

breaks even more players

swift tinsel
#

I played ds last week and it felt space aids compared to trickster so thankfully I'm not forced into it since we're mostly alt gearing atm

edgy zenith
#

Wait why are we dooming on DS in raid? What bug? I thought it felt pretty damn strong

pliant topaz
#

insteda of randomly break your own ankles

pliant topaz
#

strong means number high

sly shore
#

cdr is such a huge issue for deathstalker atm

#

without buffing cdr

pliant topaz
#

good means i would like to log in and pllay the game because of it

sly shore
#

it's going to skew so hard

pliant topaz
#

its not just cdr

#

im pretty sure i know what it is

#

during beta when we finished the apl's i worked with fuu and added some very specific conditionings around darkest night

#

to improve the tail behaviour

#

but since koji added the bugs in, im pretty sure i wouldl need to do that again

#

like without looking, if i had to guess why this was happening was because it is getting darkest night during pandemic of rupture, then dance comes off cd, now its dancing without rupture or something, or maybe delaying dance to get rupture back up and losing an entire dance cast for it

sly shore
#

would have to very specifically check apl

#

in the html report

edgy zenith
#

Ooo speaking of that situation: what IS best to do? DN, then dance and just apply rupture in dance or leave rupture off target and reapply after dance?

pliant topaz
#

idk

#

you have 2 options really

#

one is to refresh rupture early, which would give u the cdr, which would mean u get to dance with darkest night

#

the other option is delay dance

#

which might be kill time dependant

#

hard to know

#

but that means u would need to check for dance comign up, then look at your mark stacks, and if youre going to want to dance when rupture is in pandemic and u get darkest night u woulld need to refresh rupture early

#

which is a lot to track

edgy zenith
#

Is rupture that strong? I always feelycrafted it and just had a ruptureless target for the dance and reapplied during symbols when dance fell off

pliant topaz
#

lets take a look

#

from fuus sheet on deathstalker. averaage rupture hit is around 113k, average corrupt the blood is 63k.

#

sod uptime is 62%

#

dance uptime 34%

#

then roughly hteyre doing 95k and 50k ish per tick normally.

#

which means in dance + sod (lets assume to be roughly 70% amp), they would then be doing 250k per tik

#

if youre letting them drop for a 250k evis outside of dance then youre fucking up massively no?

#

oh i forgot the 20% tier buff to rupture too

edgy zenith
#

Yeah, probably best to just reapply early not in pandemic

#

But that is definitely pretty hard to see coming

pliant topaz
#

u would need to track your sectech cd + mark stacks + know if youlll be dancing or not

dry plank
#

In DS we are trying to spend darkest night and sectech buffed by supercharger inside dance?

hazy breach
#

For the non-flag dances yes

#

For the big bursts you cant really guarantee it well as it often delays your burst too much

dry plank
#

Thanks

turbid saddle
#

do u use ALL clear witnesses procs?

#

like in opener after first dance ive noticed there are times that i get p sht procs and it just chains togheter with clear the witnesses

#

spending more time outside of dance in opener but u go back in dance with 1 stack of deathstalker

#

actually ignoring it sounds better

hazy breach
rare radish
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
turbid saddle
#

yeah so u do ignore it on opener

#

and back to back dance

#

do u also not cold blood on first secret tech cus its low flag stacks?

#

or does it not matter

hazy breach
#

Cb on second sectech is a bit better

#

Because more flag stacks and more flawless stacks as trickster

turbid saddle
#

makes sense ty

edgy zenith
#

apparently it's ONLY a gain if it crits. but neutral if it doesn't. so VERY miniscule difference

turbid saddle
#

i mean that if u ignore it between first and second dance

#

and it seems u just ignore it if symbols is up

hazy breach
#

Technically if you dont have inev specced its fine to use it outside dance but inside symbols

#

But thats very niche

#

Strike > ctw storm > backstab in terms of power

#

But extending symbols is better than the extra damage from storm

sharp oriole
#

are we playin deathstalker now in raid or trickster ?

hazy breach
#

Whatever you prefer tbh. Deathstalker is like 2-3% ahead on sims

#

But it ends up being roughly the same anyway

upbeat sorrel
#

Ok I figured out my problem my WA was only tracking the first half of flag I was wondering how people were fitting in 2 sec techs in 12s

swift tinsel
#

You can fit two in ~14ish which you should aim for in transmitter

#

def easier to do as trickster than ds bc of the increased cdr

#

realistically it should be like 9-10secs between them

upbeat sorrel
#

i see

#

i think i was like 1-2 finishers off of the 12s initial flag buff

#

so should be around that time i guess

swift tinsel
#

can get unlucky refunds sometimes which will throw it off

upbeat sorrel
#

ya the RS bug makes it a little clunky

#

tracking it helps tho

leaden prairie
#

hi

#

why st first finisher even with deathstalker

#

or is that wrong and deathstlaker goes back to sending as second finisher

swift tinsel
#

I think its to get it on cd for better cdr value/fitting 2 in transmitter

sly shore
#

that are mega buffed

Not really anything specific, besides you can cloak the green circles in p1 to not spawn any orbs

#

And you can precloak the grip to not get webbed (but you obviously shouldnt do this if when you want the webs)

Do we still play DS on non-ST bosses?

Such as ulgrax and blood

because trickster is comfy

lucid jackal
#

But isn't 6% such a big number now

#

Is it just cuz nobody is playing sub still

hazy breach
#

Its not 6% since the mark bug was finally implemented in simc

#

Its like 2.5-3% on ST

uneven fern
#

2.something% for aids gameplay

lucid jackal
#

I asked it before but what exactly is the bug

uneven fern
#

cant consume mark stacks while you have the darkest night buff

lucid jackal
#

I didn't really understand

#

How does that matter if u rush to clear DN asap

hazy breach
#

Back during launch you could have darkest night up > press strike > use darkest night evis (or sectech) > be at 2 marks

lucid jackal
#

ohhhhh

hazy breach
#

Now if you do that you end up with 3 stacks

#

And you dont get the mark damage for your darkest night

uneven fern
#

it also scuffs ur rotation if u have sectech available but cant press it because you desperately need to get the buggy dn off first

#

avoidable i think but its just clunky and annoying

lucid jackal
#

You dont even get the reapp damage

hazy breach
#

Nop the mark wont do any damage as long as darkest night is up

lucid jackal
#

U play trickster on what then, twister, silken, and queen?

hazy breach
#

Idk think you can play both on all bosses really

#

Court might be the main trickster one

is there a list of abilities we can macro together for cooldowns etc?

lucid jackal

You can macro them together if you want but you'd still want them seperately bound anyway for other times so idk i dont see the point

u can kinda jsut add all of them to the bot and itll tell you. realistically itll be different based on different scenarios. like aoe wants mastry/crit. single target wants mastry/vers. deathstalker probably wants more vers than mastery, trickster wants more mastery than vers its just different

by far

swift tinsel

I'd personally take cloak over egg if you're already running contract/transmitter

and recraft bracers

lucid jackal

I specifically said many times with BOTE vs iris is that if you wanted to make a value judgement theres nothing really wrong with that, the issue was specifically people saying the sims were wrong and it performs much better

which was the incorrect part

dropping the haste/mastery bracers for vers/mastery and adding a bit of crit sounds like a decent tradeoff
