Trickster inctivizes you to press sectec on your dry symbols which is nice

#

Bursts higher, etc

plush roost
#

Tru that.

#

On ingara today i ended fight at 2.93m with DS

#

Whats trickster lookin like

bleak wind
#

@small juniper since you asked about mists, I am also doing only 10s for vault and its usually around 2.0-2.3mil as trickster with pugs

bleak wind
#

around 635+

small juniper
#

nice

bleak wind
#

haven't really tried deathstalker after the buffs though, pretty much doing one key a week these last weeks

small juniper
bleak wind
#

are you raiding again

small juniper
#

ye

spiral marsh
#

Does supercharger + forced induction make my next 2 finishers after symbols act as if they consumed 3 additional combo points? I'm a bit confused as to how it works

glacial tartan
#

So when you use Symbols, your first finisher you use consume 9 total. Then your second will use 8.

bleak wind
#

no no

spiral marsh
glacial tartan
#

Wait, doesn't Force Induction only increase the damage, not act as another combo point?

bleak wind
#

adding another cp is effectively increasing the damage

wind canopy
#

That’s ER you’re probably thinking.

bleak wind
#

but it just makes the bonus cp form +2 to +3

spiral marsh
hazy breach
#

More damage and more cdr

#

Its very cool

bleak wind
glacial tartan
#

The way Forced Induction is wrote it makes it seem it only adds bonus damage then consumes 1 supercharged point.

spiral marsh
#

Also TIL Coup is a charge? lmao

hazy breach
#

Ye for some reason

glacial tartan
#

Not going to lie, the wording sometimes is the opposite of what somethings do x3.

spiral marsh
#

snapshot of aoe priority finishers during dance for context;

Does Coup take priority over BP no matter what after sectec?

And is BP really that strong to avoid using nimble fury eviscerate cleave??

wind canopy
#

Forced induction seems pretty straightforward. Increase the bonus by 1.

hazy breach
#

And yes BP does silly damage now that theyve buffed it twice

#

one 35% and then a 20%'

#

Makes it big strong

spiral marsh
warm aspen
#

i was thinking

#

didnt they buff bp like this once already

#

lmao

spiral marsh
hazy breach
#

Strikes does big damage ye

#

But its also fine to evis sometimes even if you have more if you care a lot about the priority damage

spiral marsh
#

Btw, I did find a "workaround" to that macro I talked about with ya prior, the one where its "safe" to spam without burning all symbols charges

glacial tartan
wind canopy
#

Sure.

#

I guess

jaunty heath
#

Is there a problem with my stats please ?

#

I don't reach the top dps % on warcraft logs but I think I'm doing fine tho now

tribal blade
#

we need to get to the point where it's stronger than evis

#

and then evis becomes the coup button

hazy breach
#

Yep yep

small juniper
jaunty heath
small juniper
#

np

snow nacelle
#

does Nimble flurry give combo points aswell? tried look through pins and WoWhead rotation doesnt seem like it changing aoe rotation at all

hazy breach
#

It does not give any combo points

#

But it does change your rotation a bit

snow nacelle
#

How so?

hazy breach
#

Because you want to strike in your dance

#

But outside of dance you still storm because the cp is worth more than the backstab damage

#

And on 4 or less targets you want to eviscerate in aoe

snow nacelle
#

That's kinda what I was assuming I just didn't wanna be wrong

#

Still BP in aoe?

#

Nm yall talked about that while ago I scrolled up

hazy breach
#

@tribal blade I timed another key and this time i remember to record it too Surebud

#

Although sound got scuffed so i removed it

tribal blade
#

very excited

#

you can overlay music to it if there's no sound 😉

hazy breach
#

Cba finding music for the entire thing, i just send it raw without any sound kekdog

#

Now ive fixed it so it should have ingame sounds next time

tribal blade
#

there's gonna be a bunch of people thirsty over this

#

btw which key was it?

hazy breach

because he's the hero ravenholdt deserves

next thing u know hes doing vault opening videos

#

talking about weekly affixes

hazy breach
#

I aint copying Dr. Atnos

#

Hes got that niche covered

small juniper
#

he was once in your position

#

never say never buddy

hazy breach
#

Absolutely not interested in starting a turf war with him

small juniper
#

i reckon u could take him

hazy breach
#

You underestimate the Dr

small juniper
#

u underestimate yourself

hazy breach
#

The man has played a court of stars with ye, trump and joe biden

#

Aint no way i could compete with that

small juniper
#

fair point, hes got u beat on that 1

tepid trellis
small juniper

get used to it buddy

tepid trellis
#

np

tribal blade
#

@hazy breach start doing those kidnap key videos

#

get into someone's +2 with a premade

#

and slip in one of your 10s

#

give em a free 10 vault for a week, super wholesome and funny content

spiral marsh
hazy breach
#

Yes

spiral marsh
#

Also, is it expected behavior that Coup does not give/extend slice?

hazy breach
#

I would say no, but who knows

spiral marsh

It's like a quality of life i'd really appreciate lol

sinful sluice
#

cant really decide whether i should use 639 sureki neckless or to use 626 court neck

#

sims says heroic court is better but not sure how much sureki's side effects helps the raid

honest saddle
#

it's a lot of mana

#

about 150k per fight

#

if they dont have mana issues, it's useless

#

you're giving a healer 400 vers

#

so if you are in reclear or your healers never have issues

#

it's kinda pointless

#

if you were able to buff random dps with it, everyone would want to wear it

sinful sluice
#

we are doing 3rd phase rn never cleared before

#

i guess ill just stick with sureki then, think i heard someone saying smt about mana yesterday

tribal blade
#

i think 639 sureki is unironically not bad if you play DS

#

just for ST DS

sinful sluice
#

im running trickster for court

#

is DS any good here?

#

nvm stupid question

tribal blade
#

nah DS seems kinda troll on court because you have to juggle the mark

#

on trickster you can freely swap targets whenever

#

i feel like blizz might redesign DS because i've heard from low to high level rogues alike they really despise how mark works

#

my guildie came back to the game for a few weeks and was playing sin, and his immediate thing he msged me was "wtf i hate deathstalker, this is so bad"

#

"why can't they make it so you apply the mark with any single target builder regardless of stealth"

sinful sluice
#

yeah even if juggling marks isnt irritating, i feel like im losing so much dmg if i take ds in two target bosses

tribal blade
#

i think BP does decent damage on 2 target now

#

how do you avoid going dry on dance charges now with death perception? you used to just send on every symbols but it seems like that doesnt work now

tepid trellis
#

You play around sectech cd and make sure you always have enough to get 2x dance and 2x symbols during flag

stray plank
#

do you need to track nimble flurry uptime or does it maintain itself?

vale pine
#

it mostly maintains itself

#

if you want to min/max

#

you can track it and use backstab to get it up again if it drops

#

it does not happen much tho

stray plank
#

gotcha

tribal blade
#

if flawless is up- you're nimbling

sinful sluice
#

saw 25% on court

#

ahhhhhhhh

#

cant kill this thing...

digital aspen
#

hey key enjoyers, been meaning to give sub a shot at m+... what have you found is the preferred hero tree, and if trickster, is there a new rule for BP usage on specific target counts?

tribal blade
#

hope to god we kill it tomorrow

sinful sluice
#

Damn

#

But the sad thing is we dont get to try another for 2 weeks

#

Some ppl cant make it on raid day

tribal blade
#

that's tragic

sinful sluice
#

End of the year, ppl are too busy

#

I have finals coming as well

hazy breach
digital aspen
#

that makes sense, so i reckon you re playing trickster Eleem?

hazy breach
#

Ye

digital aspen
#

i see, gonna have to recraft some gear from assa, but should make it work... dslice still good to sim for keys?

hazy breach
#

Its alright ye, but id recommend tfd over wm

#

The resets from tfd aint working in dslice

digital aspen
#

i see

#

gonna give it a go, thanks for the tips

#

and farm hero ritual knife i guess despairge

hazy breach
#

Its not that big of a deal

digital aspen
#

yeah i know, just dont have any other decent sub trinket

hazy breach
#

Crystal or spyglass are both fine

digital aspen
#

yeah i might just use those at 626

#

along with transmitter

hazy breach
#

Transmitter is the thing that matters

digital aspen
#

maybe mandates for some specific dungeons? (SV for skarmorak)??

hazy breach
#

I wouldnt

#

You have enough burst for it anyway

#

And no passive agility screws you over

digital aspen
#

yeah fair enough, im overcooking a bit

#

wish skardyns had some use for sub, sitting at 639 on my bags

woeful stream
#

ive been only playing keys with DS should i learn trickster or just stick to whats comfortable for me which is DS

digital aspen
#

i dont think the difference is that crazy though, so probably stick to what you like the most

woeful stream
#

ty aslong im not super trolling by going ds imma stick to it

hazy breach
#

It is not super trolling no

#

Theyre both good

sinful sluice
#

Can i get any feedbacks on my court run?

#

Wanna do more dmg

tribal blade
#

also which team are you on, and is that side the pad side

sinful sluice
#

Red team, im doing every webs

tepid trellis
#

if he is doing webs he would be on red side

tribal blade
#

ah ok, because we have only our ranged doing webs in P1

#

yeah if you're doing webs you're boned on parsing right

sinful sluice
#

I maintain ~2M dps until first dispel but i start to fall off hard afterwards

#

Idk when i can do dmg honestly

#

Have to run around so much

#

What im doing is to just save every cds and then use it on second intermission barrier

tribal blade
#

if you're losing a lot of uptime doing webs it's hard to parse

#

i have to do webs in P3 and it tanks my damage

#

as well as being on the side that doesn't get to pad aoe on adds or bosses stacked

sinful sluice
#

Damn

#

I dont care much about parsing

#

But im afraid that we can’t skip 3-3 dispel

#

Heard that makes a huge difference in difficaulty

#

Our dmg seem to be not enough to skip it tho…

tepid trellis
#

being on red team is just rough in general

#

for last phase

#

you've got quite alot of downtime

#

and you sorta lose out on 1 dmg amp in p2 depending on how ethically your guild does it

tribal blade
#

i lose a damage amp from moving yeah

hazy breach
#

You can cloak and still hit it during the amp Cheesin

tribal blade
#

also i do basically no add damage because not on the pad side

#

it looks like you're also not on the pad side @sinful sluice

sinful sluice
#

Yeah

tepid trellis
sinful sluice
#

I just wanna kill this thing asap

tepid trellis
#

i need to fuck off to the stanky legs boss

sinful sluice
#

Its been like what, 3 weeks now

hazy breach
#

Once the frontal has gone out you dont need to be at the stanky legs until like 6+ seconds after the amp has ended

#

Smh my head

sinful sluice
#

And we play 12 hours per week

tribal blade
sinful sluice
#

So its almost 30 hours in court jail…

#

Yeah i barely make any mistakes

tepid trellis
sinful sluice
#

Good that rouge is kinda hard to die in this boss

#

I feel like Theres no dangerous points

tepid trellis
#

my best run is just shy of 2mil dps on the boss and i got assissnated on the last dmg amp by a blue boi

tribal blade
#

i find it legit horrible trying to parse on court the way it's set up on my raid, best to just put it out of your mind

fallow nimbus
#

Dmg stop?

tribal blade
#

only answer is to go back in time and ask your RL to put you on the other side

sinful sluice
#

I have shit parse anyway

#

For other bosses as well

tribal blade
#

mine are pretty bad on deep pulls too

#

nothing i can do

fallow nimbus
#

I dodged that fight, other rogue is team red and plays web kekw

sinful sluice
#

I have orange parses on assa that i barely play on

#

But my sub logs are ….

#

💀

#

Gotta think and plan really well to parse on this talent i guess

hazy breach
sinful sluice
#

I hope i can use DS for court & queen as well

#

Or they remove coup dash

#

Either way is fine

#

Ovinax DS build felt really nice with shuriken tornado tho

tribal blade
#

i thought i was fucking the fight up because i would start out topping the meters by quite a bit

#

and then as the fight progressed just start dropping off in a big way

#

until i looked into it and realized the entire thing is set up so i can't parse haha

#

#

ok you go do mythic ansurek with sudden boss movements due to the amount of blades that spawn and come back to me after that

#

or the fact that you cant use coup while doing the essential P1 mechanic whichs is jumping over waves

#

cuz it yoinks you back down

lilac stag
#

I’m not saying it’s a wonderful design to the ability. spamming abilities gets you in trouble. Not shocking.

#

I fuck it up. It’s me.

vale pine
#

The charge mechanic is just punishing, there is just not enough benefit to it to have it

tepid trellis
#

im standing in melee range, our tank moves the boss 1 inch out of it, i now get yoinked into a web blade

lilac stag
#

it’s dumb I agree.

#

You don’t have to worry about parry, standing on tank for movement not an option?

tepid trellis
#

not always possible

lilac stag
#

What is preventing that with blades out?

tepid trellis
#

one of them happens with an explosion

#

and if you have done a jump pop

#

before

#

it kills you

lilac stag
#

can just do the mechanic at this point no? That one to two gcd gonna ruin your prog kill?

tepid trellis
#

you expect to be in melee and nothing happens

#

boss does a yank cuz of tanks moving

#

you get yoinked with it

#

is not okay

lilac stag
#

Well something is happening if tank is moving

tepid trellis
#

there is a reason it was removed from everything else in the game

#

cuz melee range is fcking finnicky

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

raging blow charge had a better animation

#

and it got thousands of warriors killed on Halondrus

#

Fyralath's charge saved my ass countless times i.e.

tepid trellis
#

not the same thing

#

you choose when to use that

vale pine
#

i died to it more times than i found it relevant

#

it safed my ass once in the timewalking raid

tepid trellis
#

imagine if it replaced devine storm on templars

#

at random proc rate

#

and wasent just a stand alone button press

wide magnet
#

at a certain point it is absolutely up to the developers to design the game properly

#

melee is designed around spamming abilities, so it shouldn’t punish you

#

it’s a bad gameplay loop and carries no intent

#

not to mention there is no thematic element to the ninja spec doing blade rush so idk

sullen hare
#

I honestly feel like we wouldn't be having this conversation if they hadn't taken my boy acro away

lilac stag
# wide magnet at a certain point it is absolutely up to the developers to design the game prop...

you're playing the game based on the ruleset established by the developers. you know what the ability does. you use it and you end up dead, short of an actual bugged interaction, that was your decision making to press the ability at that moment in time. they didn't randomly change the rules for the ability when you decided to press evis/coup.

the design aspect, and whatever you feel is good or bad is subjective based on the players. sub clearly has many design flaws. yet we're still here.

lone ore
#

i think im missing something about elemental focus lens. why are the top rogues running it when it's only doing 0.93% of their dps

sullen hare
#

Because all embellishments suck basically

lilac stag
#

it's the best of shit options

#

you could argue 2x vers better, but most went with a dagger craft

sullen hare
#

I hope you weren't looking for a more nuanced answer because unfortunately that's just how it is

lone ore
#

wouldnt even ascendence be better than focus lens

lilac stag
#

sim them, it doesnt matter in the grand sceme of things

sullen hare
#

At the end of the day an embellishment is better than none though

lone ore
#

i just thought outlaw ran it assuming it worked with bladeflurry but wasnt sure why for sub

#

thanks for the replies

lilac stag
#

they run it for the same reason we do

#

i think assa slowly swapped over to crit x2

#

but again it's whatever

sullen hare
#

Unless something has changed threads default sim for 40% uptime so if your uptimes are significantly higher they can pull ahead but that's basically it I think

lilac stag
#

a lot of the fights you can hit 60-80% uptime

#

but yea sim default is lower

digital aspen
#

got a question about Evasion.. is the DR from Elusiveness additive to the magic DR of Bait and Switch? for example, with elusiveness+bait and switch, does Evasion give 40% DR to magic damage?

hazy breach
#

Multiplicative

#

So its 36% roughly

wide magnet
#

true and real

wide magnet
#

we can’t make the game good

#

only developers can

#

on an individual level sure it can be your fault, i don’t care and im sure nobody really cares

#

but to put all culpability for failure of a bad mechanic entirely on the players is a disease that only players seem to have?

#

and not even particularly good players

#

you can learn to play around something perfectly but this does not make it a good mechanic and you can still be unhappy with it

#

i think the coup de grace charge mechanic is the poster child for a bad mechanic

#

nobody asked for it, it’s not thematic, it doesn’t enable sub in any way, it’s not outlined in the tooltip at all

warm marlin
#

charges in general are just not great in wow because the hitboxes are so variable. coup is probably the worst of them because it's a proc on a normal ability but charges on other melee (felblade, hunt) are notorious for killing players

wide magnet
#

agreed

warm marlin
#

if it were easier to see exactly where you would be charging to maybe

wide magnet
#

on abilities where the charge is guaranteed i think it’s ok bc its thematic, opaque, and there’s a general understanding in the way you play wow that you will just die to random shit

#

still suboptimal

#

boss hitboxes should be opaque probably

#

er i guess like explicit

#

think drawing a circle for the exact boundary of an entity’s hitbox is a good idea

warm marlin
#

almost like these are already in the game they just dont line up with hitbox always for some reason

#

very odd

wide magnet
#

hehe

#

those are to indicate positionals more than hitbox but even then

#

the front facing arrow is not sufficiently clear enough

#

there are a lot of ways the wow team could improve mechanic clarity i think

warm marlin
#

im talking about the red circle beneath your targeted mob

wide magnet
#

yeah that’s positional

#

there’s an arrow at the front to indicate where the entity is facing

warm marlin
#

genuinely had no idea

round latch
#

no competition n stuff

lilac stag
#

People pining for DFA for multiple expansions. Blizzard gives players a non flying version of it, with an animation we didn’t know existed because we’re always trying to avoid the charge. Wait that’s not what we wanted. PogO

Like most thing revolving around sub, the spec is still raw and only partially cooked. Welcome to numerically one of the least played and least popular specs.

I am fkn confused but I don't play sub with aug often tbh. How tf did ur dmg go to 7 million DPS in 2nd pull without CDs up

#

😂

hazy breach
#

You get a buff from the clone stuff in city

#

And then its just big pad on the smallies with a big cb sectech

pliant flame
#

i wanna learn sub so bad, but it seems so confusing to start out after coming from assass

short radish
#

sub is easier than it actually seems

#

and i'll argue that it's easier than assi once you get the flow of things

#

you have what it seems like a lot of cooldowns to manage

#

but you really only need to worry about symbols and sdance

#

because you always press blades and flag basically on cooldown together (not exactly together but almost same time)

#

90% of the time you sectech off cooldown

#

and when you sectech you press symbols and dance

#

so the only real thing you're tracking is waiting for sectech to come off cooldown

#

then thinking "do I send this with a dance or just naked symbols"

hazy breach
#

Most of the "baseline" power of the spec just comes from doing your big burst window correctly, if you master that then you can start thinking about the minmaxes of squeezing as many other cds inbetween the big burst

#

But getting the burst window (aka Flagellation + ShadowBlades ) down is gonna get you most of the way there

short radish
#

💯

#

and the buttons you press in burst is pretty much the same every time

wide magnet
#

no spec has thematics

pliant flame
wide magnet
#

sadly

#

yeah you can do that but it's not technically correct

#

he just means they are both 1.5 minute cooldowns

#

so you always use them in tandem

#

i.e. just going off of how the spells work

#

flagellation gives you stacks of %mastery buff based on how many combo points you've spent

#

so it wants your first global in this window to be spending combo points

#

buttons that spend combo points are losing out on half of the value of shadow blades, which is that shadow blades makes all builders generate 7 cp

#

which, if you macro it to flagellation, means you're spending 2 globals without this value

pliant flame
#

ah so it’s similar to how shiv and kingsbane works with assass

#

they work well together but not right after one another

wide magnet
#

correct

short radish
#

attaboy

#

you used to be able to macro them together

#

but they changed it to be slightly mroe scuffed

pliant flame
#

sucks all my gear is geared for assass, got tons of crit and haste, almost no mastery

#

i think we get a decent amount of raid nights before christmas break

short radish
#

you could probably kill it in 6 nights

tribal blade
#

funny you say that, we have exactly 6 raid nights before christmas break

short radish
#

i reckon queen is easier to prog than court

#

or at least less tilting

tribal blade
#

i don't think any boss could be as tilting to prog as court

short radish
#

namely it's not really an issue if someone dies until p2

#

ikr

#

court has so many things that can just go wrong

tribal blade
#

the thing that tilted me the most was being killed by other people

and by wee bit, i mean a LOT

pallid ingot
#

Quick question
Trying to learn sub rogue and wanted to comare logs with other subs, i noticed that some like never use black powder, even after the buff, is there a reason for it?

tribal blade
#

the reason people would not use BP and instead evis and cleave with nimble is they want to do more prio damage

#

pressing BP is more pad damage

pallid ingot
tribal blade
pallid ingot
#

Hm okay

tribal blade
#

or legit might not even know about the new target count for pressing BP

pallid ingot
#

5+ right

tribal blade
#

yeah at 5 for trickster

#

but if it's a pull with a big prio mob, it can be worth to full evis

#

lower overall dam, but it's more ethical

pallid ingot
#

Ty for explaining

tribal blade
#

no worries!

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

so my ethics classes were all lies?

lilac stag
#

from an American pov, yes

#

locality may play a role.

tribal blade
round latch
vale pine
#

doing what is the best action to kill the boss = ethical

vestal escarp
#

"check dmg on miniboss"

#

"check dmg on drakes"

#

"chekc dmg on necromancers"

tribal blade
#

once again on queen CN rogues using skardyn's

hollow spear
#

what's the rationale behind that?

#

(please make it sound positive, because I still don't have a transmitter)

tribal blade
#

for court it sort of made a bit of sense, but not sure about queen

#

i don't think it's better no

#

if you're not holding cds for long enough to warrant using a 2 min trink, it means it basically becomes a 3 min cd trink

vestal escarp
#

Skadryn's burst is weaker

vale pine
tribal blade
#

yeah transmitter is good as a 2 min trink

#

like sin uses it as a 2 min trink

#

i think it technically sims slightly better for sin

#

than skardyn's

vestal escarp
#

Same for queen

#

Downtime as sub on those bosses is real

vale pine
tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

but the haste!

#

it gives so much energy!

hollow spear
#

It's weird how they develop different "metas" though

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

It's not like their fight timings are any different

alpine wraith
#

it is not metas they just pad and get externals that are hidden etc

#

they literally pay to log

tribal blade
#

it might honestly be they don't want to deal with transmitter

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

there's like 1 top sub rogue on CN who uses it, and then they all copy him

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

Transmitter and DS can fuck off

hollow spear
#

DS on queen?

lilac stag
#

Sure why not

tribal blade
vestal escarp
#

Ds on queen is a pad declaration

lilac stag
#

sounds like don’t want to be arsed

#

I can appreciate that

tribal blade
#

yeah i can honestly see why you wouldn't want to deal with it

#

but i'm pretty used to it by now

lilac stag
#

fwiw orc still top dog and you turn it into a 3 min racial

tribal blade
#

i think i'm gonna play trickster on queen just for parry protection

#

and also trickster is more fun

tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

oh literally noone is using DS on queen haha

tepid trellis
#

i have

#

but we didn't log that week

lilac stag
#

They don’t get the tech

tepid trellis
#

for some reason

lilac stag
#

no self logs?

tepid trellis
#

(reason being the guy that normally logs was on vacation)

#

nah im too lazy

tribal blade
#

court is the boss where 0% DS

#

which makes 100% sense

tepid trellis
#

ds would be quite okay on court

#

if you played for bosses being stacked

tribal blade
#

yeah i could see playing it if i was on blue team

vale pine
#

objection, i like trickster more on court

tribal blade
#

not having to mess with the mark on court is so nice

#

can freely target swap whenever you feel like it

vestal escarp
#

I like the stronger burst on court

#

Micromanaging coup and such

digital aspen
tribal blade
#

you also reset sectec much faster

vestal escarp
#

Sin on court is so cringe

tribal blade
vestal escarp
#

I gave it more tries than i would have wanted

#

It's just not it

digital aspen
#

i would've went sub, but assa gear quite a bit ahead

vestal escarp
#

Dot management spec for a melee class with 2 bugs teleporting around

#

Sure bud

tribal blade
#

i tried 0 pulls as sin, i was very happy to be able to play sub

digital aspen
#

you guys send cds on pull as sub and then again on 2nd charge or what?

vestal escarp
#

Affli locks having the time of their lives dotting both from afar

tribal blade
vestal escarp
#

Yeah flag on pull

digital aspen
#

that makes sense i guess, nice and simplified also

tribal blade
#

yes timings on the fight are perfect for sub

digital aspen
#

and can dance+mandate on first amp i guess

#

do i dare switch 200+ pulls in?

tribal blade
#

mandate is not a very popular option for sub on court

vestal escarp
#

If you're comfortable playing sub in general

tribal blade
#

you lose too much main stat

vestal escarp
#

Imo sub is nicer to play on court

digital aspen
#

yeah im good with sub

#

just less gear than assa

vestal escarp
#

I dropped mandate for court

digital aspen
#

damn really?

#

would imagine it s good

tribal blade
#

sub has a lot of damage in cds

vestal escarp
#

Rarely crits

#

Crystal feels better

tribal blade
#

so running mandate means your burst is weaker

digital aspen
tribal blade
#

yeah and sub not really stacking crit 😦

vestal escarp
#

Plus the 2 globals i got from not casting mandate made rotation in certains moments smoother

tribal blade
#

i have relatively a lot of crit for sub in my gear and i'm at 25%

digital aspen
#

i mean, wouldn't you just mandate when dance is over?

tribal blade
#

oh whoops i linked trinkets from princess

#

this is court

vestal escarp
#

For example the first cast of mandate is in your non cb dance, with out casting madandate i can get that small cdr i need to send the cb dance before bosses tp

#

By casting mandate that dance is always cut by tp

#

Minuscule thing ik

tribal blade
#

when you do the webbed amp it's quite short

#

the dispel amp is the long one

#

webbed amp seems like it would be a massive hassle to try to fit in mandate

digital aspen
#

they are all the same duration no? or am I tripping

#

12 seconds?

tribal blade
#

well the dispel one the boss is taking 20% more damage per debuff it gets

digital aspen
#

(just woke up)

tribal blade
#

so that one is technically longer

#

since it has ramp time

#

so the boss is taking more and more damage the more dispels go out, and then the full amp is when it's stunned

digital aspen
#

right

#

but you just send cds when its stunned, so doesnt really change much for sub

tribal blade
#

the web one you get baby windows to play

#

you can actually start sending cds as the dispels are going out

#

since flag is 24 seconds

#

and sub has "ramp"

digital aspen
#

idk, havent played that boss as sub, nor have I seen any sub logs, but I would just have my first sec tech in cds hit when all dispels are done

tribal blade
#

on burrow charges you send as it's stunned

#

on the dispel part you can see you send before the actual stun

vestal escarp
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

so that way you're covering your entire flag window with dmg amp

vestal escarp
#

As trickster generally your second dance in flag is stronger

#

Unless you're very unlucky

tribal blade
#

this moment for us was lust+pot

digital aspen
#

but, you can have both sec tech in the full dmg amp window, right?

tribal blade
#

if you do it this way the first sectec is definitely not in the full amp

vestal escarp
alpine wraith
#

you dont care about the full amp

#

flag is 24 secs

#

you can even triple dance there

vestal escarp
#

You're wasting most of the second dance

alpine wraith
#

begin at like stack 2 or 3

tribal blade
#

because of muscle memory

alpine wraith
#

ahaha yea

digital aspen
#

makes sense i suppose

alpine wraith
#

that happens

tribal blade
#

if i got lucky with cdr i could get a 3rd dance even w/o holding

tepid trellis
tepid trellis
#

yep

#

you ramp up while he ramps up

vestal escarp
#

Yeah flag at 40 and you gucci

tepid trellis
#

win win

digital aspen
#

well, too late to play sub on this fight now, but will definitely do on reclear

tribal blade
#

so it's not wasted putting your first dance into not the full amp

vestal escarp
#

Most groups try to milk dispels anyway

#

You get a long time at 80%

#

And then full 12s for 100%

digital aspen
#

yeah my group panic sends dispels when she still has 6seconds cast time

tribal blade
#

damn that's rough

vestal escarp
#

You'll get past that eventually

digital aspen
#

i guess im sending assa cds the same way, so not sure what i was trying to cook in that argument

digital aspen
tribal blade
#

i'm guessing the main thing for sin is you want your KB pop to hit in the full amp

digital aspen
#

im sending dm+kb right before 4th dispel goes out

tribal blade
#

yeah sin's cd window much shorter than sub

digital aspen
#

well, hope tonight is the kill for us

#

already starting to lose my mind

tribal blade
#

we killed it tonight, i'll pray for your team

haughty mural
#

gratz

short radish
tribal blade
short radish
#

with 5 new people and one less evoker

#

which means we are doing some omega scuffed priest bait -> me and the tank goes and picks up the web

tribal blade
short radish
#

it is very very cursed

#

reclea btw 🙃

tribal blade
#

oh boy all the P1 reprog wipes hahaha

short radish
#

actual ptsd

tribal blade
#

court seems like a boss you shouldn't be taking 5 new people to

#

i feel like you'd want to spread that number out, even if it sucks for the people waiting

#

the movement is so precise 5 people running into the other team on cd seems bad

short radish
#

yeah it was just a lot of chaos

#

i fucked a lot as well with the new scuffed webtech

tribal blade
#

doing webs as melee 😦

#

well i have to do P3 webs

short radish
#

were you red or blue

tribal blade
#

i was red

short radish
#

F

#

red team sucks

#

has to do all the mechanics

tribal blade
#

yeah every single melee on the red team couldn't parse haha

#

we all got green/gray parses

short radish
#

sounds about right

tribal blade
#

you can bascially see here who was on red team and who was blue

#

for melee

#

the only person who bucked the trend was our dk who was on blue team

haughty mural
short radish
#

lords of dread intensifies

tribal blade
#

scarab damage

#

nimble buff to range when

#

i'm legit doing as much add damage as our bdk haha

tepid trellis
#

just go and play with the blue bois?

tribal blade
short radish
#

thats actual so sad

tribal blade
#

but yes

tepid trellis
#

(its the same in my raid)

tribal blade
#

noooo 😦

#

this is what i get for being on the add team for diurna prog and orange parsing our prog kill

tepid trellis
#

i was on the boss half the time on ours

#

i swapped to adds on the last 3 spawns iirc

tribal blade
#

i honestly kinda gave up trying to cheat some add damage during damage amps

#

because sometimes blue boys would be trying to do the same thing and just walked into me

tepid trellis
#

im too burnt out to care

#

i just wanna kill em quick

tribal blade
#

i'm the exact same way now

#

once i realized i couldn't parse court i just resigned to that fact

#

and tried to play super clean

tepid trellis
#

i might ask to be taken off, portal duty on queen tho

tribal blade
#

i'm not sure what assignments for queen are gonna be for my raid

#

so here i was top melee on takazj (caster boss)

#

sub on those dmg amps goes hard

tepid trellis
#

havent looked at logs this tier at all

#

i keep getting murdered on good attempts

tribal blade
#

that is so tilting on court

tepid trellis
#

i wouldve done 2.2-2.3 on court a few weeks back

#

got ran over

tribal blade
#

damn

sick jackal
tribal blade
sick jackal
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

yeah in P3

alpine wraith
#

in p3 all reds do web

#

but it is quite easy

sick jackal
#

Atm i am doing in p1 aswell wanted to ask tips for survibility

alpine wraith
#

what p1

tribal blade
#

yeah it's not too bad, it just sucks losing uptime

alpine wraith
#

does your guild hate you

#

like a lot

tribal blade
#

can't help you there, we had only ranged do P1 lol

#

because having melee do P1 is eternal suffering

alpine wraith
#

but best thing you can do is run elu

#

and use evasion there

#

dont cloak

sick jackal
sick jackal
alpine wraith
#

you want to cloak the rain

#

not the web dmg thingy

sick jackal
#

I see

alpine wraith
#

that is what does the most dmg in p1 kinda

tepid trellis
#

thats about it

#

you wont die to web ticking really

tribal blade
#

so long as your healers don't drop you should be fine

alpine wraith
#

my man stealthi overstimatin the prowess of our people

tepid trellis
#

if they cant heal a person with a glowing debuff

#

they might as well be drooling

alpine wraith
#

they might

tepid trellis
#

there is nothing else happening during webs for the most part

alpine wraith
#

we had mages dying until somoene began going hard on the healers

tepid trellis
#

P3 i could understand being scared

#

cuz that shit hurts

#

but in p1 there is absolutely 0 things going on

#

but for the rough one in p3 which is the 2nd webs charge

#

you just commit hp pot/stone

#

and you are fine

void hound
#

i played elusiveness on silken court, its impossible to die to anything

#

except the mythic mechanic ofc

tepid trellis
#

only way to die is in p3 if healers forget that you exist

robust light
#

i put down the sub to play a few other specs

#

but i need... that ST back....

#

I need my honor

void hound
#

@tepid trellis which transmitter weakaura do you use?

#

fuu's is throwing out lua errors it seems

tepid trellis
#

The one that comes with the AUI

void hound
#

gg

haughty mural
void hound
#

damn deathstalker plays like ass

robust light
#

im with u

void hound
#

darkest night takes prio over sec tec even if it means sec tec is our last global in our dance?

hazy breach
#

Ideally you shouldnt enter flag with the mark stack that makes you end up like that

#

But its also a bit random with the sht procs so shrugeg

#

But yes sims say just always prio DN

void hound
hazy breach
#

ye

void hound
#

i see

#

whats the value you should enter flag with

#

ballpark

hazy breach
#

I think 2

void hound
#

more or less is better?

#

or exactly 2

hazy breach
#

2 is the one that most of the time lets you get supercharger on DN+second sectech

void hound
#

right

void hound
hazy breach
#

I mean its should still be inside dance

void hound
#

yeah makes sense

hazy breach
#

So it doesnt matter that much

tame stratus
#

surely they fix DN Bug in 11.1

hazy breach
tame stratus
tulip gorge
#

you think they will do anything for sub? They will probably give mage another rework

swift tinsel
#

Buff Black Powder by another 20-30%

tulip gorge
#

I wouldn't mind that

swift tinsel
#

since we're still playing a lot of deathstalker

#

you're gross

tulip gorge
#

idk I like having good aoe

swift tinsel
#

If they buff it by that much it'll do more than evisc in single target and that's bad design

#

and it'll entirely trivialize nimble flurry for trickster

tulip gorge
#

just buff eviscerate kekdog

#

trickster making sub a wannabe outlaw is a mistake imo

swift tinsel
#

sub st is already nuclear

tulip gorge
#

they could also reduce the energy cost of shuriken storm, would be great

hazy breach
#

Dont think that would matter much at all

tulip gorge
#

would make the spec more smooth

#

at least outside of dance

hazy breach
#

Not really

#

Unless they lowered it by like 30 ofc

swift tinsel
#

Should just remove fatal intent from DS and make that a BP tuning knob

hazy breach
#

They already have a bp talent in deathstalker

#

Two even

tulip gorge
#

is fatal intent that problematic?

swift tinsel
#

its neutral dam

hazy breach
#

Its not problematic, theyve just forgot to add a 0 on the damage number

tulip gorge
#

kek

#

maybe they will focus again on underplayed hero talents

#

I believe they kinda succeeded in making both DS and trickster good for sub

hazy breach
#

Unfortunately ye

swift tinsel
#

focus should be bug fixing over tuning if the specs aren't operating normally

tulip gorge
#

now they need to make trickster playable for outlaw and do some small improvements for fatebound assa

swift tinsel
#

but Bandaid Fix Blizz doesn't agree

still trellis
tulip gorge
#

is it that RNG? when playing outlaw I don't pay attention to it at all kekdog

hazy breach
#

Fatebound isnt even bad. Theres a bunch of hero talents that people just dont want to play

#

Totemic as enhance being another one

tulip gorge
#

enhances are playing totemic now

#

after the stormbringer nerfs

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

I know

#

But theyre complaining about it because it feels way worse

still trellis
hazy breach
#

The rogue trees are also quite clearly designed with 1 rogue spec in mind and another one shoehorned in

tulip gorge
#

most hero talents are

#

for outlaw trickster I hope they are actually making killing spree a proper button to press or just remove it entirely

#

I don't mind it being a risky ability, but it must hit hard

hazy breach
#

The thing that bothers me the most about sub right now is honestly coup not giving snd, doesnt feel great needing to send another eviscerate in a big aoe pull.
But a very slight amount of extra cdr would be neat, oh and make flag 20s instead of 24

tulip gorge
#

make flag 1 minute cd and shadowblades 2 minutes PepeLaugh

#

I don't know why they changed it on the PTR

#

was sub broken?

#

or was it garbage?

hazy breach
#

Felt way worse yes

swift tinsel
#

was just dm/kb for sub

hazy breach
#

Youd have way longer downtime

#

Since you could only send dances during flag

#

2x during blades+flag > 2x during flag > repeat

swift tinsel
#

also add lashing scars to flag plz

tulip gorge
#

wait does flag not do damage anymore?

swift tinsel
#

eh

hazy breach
#

It technically does damage

swift tinsel
#

the idea of damage

tulip gorge
#

I see

swift tinsel
#

the interplay between flag and dance is fun but it would be nice if they both did noticable dam instead of just blades

tulip gorge
#

I must say I love the current gameplay, it feels like unholy dk but you actually do proper damage

swift tinsel
#

with some fixes/qol it would be the best the spec has felt in a very long time imo

spark tusk
#

pontifications on damage

swift tinsel
#

I wanted to go there

#

haha

tulip gorge
#

when is the new patch, next week?

swift tinsel
#

but yeah, a bit more cdr, coup giving snd/not charging, blades working with sectech

#

buff nimble a tiny bit

tulip gorge
#

do we have any idea how does the ring work or if it's going to be good at all?

swift tinsel
#

rumors are its undertuned

tulip gorge
#

even the supposed stats ring?

swift tinsel
#

but it looks like its similar to domination sockets/df ring

tulip gorge
#

I hope it's not going to take ages to fully level it up

haughty mural
#

i dont think nimble needs a buff

#

else i agree

tulip gorge
#

but with how bad gearing has been this season, I expect the ring needing like one month to be fully upgraded despair

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

So presumably its gonna get buffed

tulip gorge
tulip gorge
hazy breach
#

Yes

tulip gorge
#

I'll make sure to not craft a ring this reset then luldog

swift tinsel
#

Would making DN consumable by any finisher break things too much

hazy breach
#

It would be annoying and not fun yes

swift tinsel
#

more so than locking into one?

hazy breach
#

Yes because you would need to line up sectech with it all the time

#

They just need to fix the bug and its fine

swift tinsel
#

Figured as much, otherwise sectech becomes the biggest button in the game

#

is the same bug present for sub and sin?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

But assa only loses like ~1% dmg from the bug existing since they cant apply many marks besides DN, its just their vanish

#

Sub can do it pretty much every dance, so its way more. ~4% or so

swift tinsel
#

Ah, I never play sin so I wasn't aware

strange chasm
#

I did a 15 db and 15 db same group one as sub one as sin... we were faster as sin

swift tinsel
#

was running keys with some guildies last night and they kept talking about how fast bosses were phasing/dying lol

well sin has better aoe damage

Bottle of Flayedwing Toxin and Void Reaper's Contract together are simming better than the contract and and transmitter??? All 619 ilvl

still trellis
#

i need da sim

#

wat da hell did you assemble there

swift tinsel
#

that's wild, transmitter was like a 6% upgrade from toxin for me lol

still trellis
#

ye im hella confused how he managed to do that

still trellis
#

you are playing without flag

hybrid prism
#

ye

still trellis
#

a burst trinket wont sim well if you are missing a big part of your burst

swift tinsel
#

that's unique

still trellis
#

swap any talent to flag and transmitter is gonna be ahead by a lot i bet

#

or is there a legit build without flag that i just missed

swift tinsel
#

I cannot imagine any viable build not taking flag

still trellis
#

i mostly just lurk in sub channel and check pins so i didnt wanna say the build is wrong, but it looks hella weird

#

looks like the crab build for assa, which was also a meme dracthyr_kek

hybrid prism
#

simming with flag is like a .7% dmg loss and i dont like it so i dont use it. I'm just a heroic pugger nowadays. Don't push any real content that requires me to use all the best shit. So I use what's more fun for me and lose less than 1% of dps. So idc that much haha

worn cape
#

Do you do burst window without flag or do you have a different burst window?

hybrid prism
#

nah i still do plenty of burst*

#

just way less to worry about lmao. dmg is still nuts

worn cape
#

Sorry, I meant, do you do the burst window with the same abilties as with flag, but without it?

hybrid prism
#

ye pretty much

#

i would def burst higher with flag but throughout a fight it pretty close to evens out

hybrid prism
#

like i said before its less than a % diff in damage because i use dark brew too. I like this more lol

hazy breach
#

But you do you

hybrid prism
#

I will, don't worry

swift tinsel
#

my flag aura has too much time and conditions in it to ever not use it lol

quartz tartan

hello in big pulls i replace eviscrade with black powder right?

swift tinsel
#

Speaking of, does anyone have a Find Weakness aura that shows how many targets in range have the debuff, similar to the Mark of the Crane ones I see windwalkers use. Shouldn't be too hard for me to cobble together if not

lilac stag
#

Can’t say I recall seeing one. If you make one feel free to share.

swift tinsel
#

Will do, it'll be my project for after work tonight. Found a WW one I can swap the spell ID's so it should be pretty easy

#

Might get saucy and make it swap icons between evisc and bp based on numerical value

#

feels kinda hand-holdy so I probably won't lol

lilac stag
#

custom option to turn it off and on

swift tinsel
#

I have a whole UI/WA to-do list now lol

#

Did a big overhaul a few weeks ago and I want to streamline it because there's a few elements that are irksome

wide magnet
#

match count > 0

#

string: %matchCount

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that's the plan

#

can do multitarget or nameplate

wide magnet
#

yeah i’m not sure the implementation difference between the two

swift tinsel
#

I've made some with either and they're functionally identical afaik

#

I think nameplate is more flexible with friendly auras

#

bc I've used that for renewing mist, glimmer, etc

wide magnet
#

nameplate seems to be more accurate

hazy breach
#

Idk if that info is actually valueable

#

Like youre gonna go strike > sectech > storm every single dance anyway

Why does my kidney shot only last 5 seconds when it says it supposed to be 8?

If youre using it on a player its shorter

worn cape
#

Having fun is still the most important. If your build does enough dps for the content you are doing, then I see no problem in not taking Flag

vale pine
#

flagellation is quite core to the spec

#

but for solo content, surely could go without

hybrid prism
#

yeah i like my build, its fun, just don't know how my numbers were so far off last night. I was super tired so I probably just messed something up in the sim. I'm just going to use flag if i need it, but these days I just do heroic raid pugging and its super easy.

The player base at large doesn't know a whole lot about sub rogue so the people you're pugging with very likely don't know to look for it so as long as you aren't actively griefing your heroic pugs you should be fine with the build you've got esp if you're having fun with it
