drowsy moon
#

I am a new player tho

fallow nimbus
#

Old sub was pretty straight forward with dust but now with 3 sod charges, cdr stuff and all that new players pretty much can get overwhelmed at certain times

drowsy moon
#

Big question do I ever in any scenario dance without symbols

fallow nimbus
#

No

#

Yes

drowsy moon
#

My dance is always macrod to symbols so it's not a bad thing

#

Oh

#

I have symbols seperwt3 as a button

fallow nimbus
#

If boss dies in a few secs then just fire everything

#

In general you use secret as your guideline

#

But 2 dances and sods for cds have highest priority

leaden prairie
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
fallow nimbus
#

Sub is kinda different to most other specs that use all cds on cooldown or stack same cd stuff. You have times where you have like dance+ sod ready but don't want to use it yet and thanks to charges don't have downsides doing that

#

That's why I think sub should have something like CB as its "guide" to ease the mental load for newer players. Like get rid of some cdr, maybe sectec and cb on a set 45 sec cd but sectec can hit harder, work with blades and stuff.

leaden prairie
#

but then i dont have fw on other targets if i dont storm right, and bp doesnt do damage without fw doesnt it

hazy breach
#

The idea is to always go strike > sectech > storm (with your second rotten stack) > bp etc

#

Because storm is bugged with rotten and will consume both stacks on a single cast

#

So you have to strike before 🙃

fallow nimbus
#

CB adding 100% crit and all above that add crit dmg

leaden prairie
#

I see

#

Quite tricky

hazy breach
#

Its a bit silly yes

leaden prairie
#

forgot about rotten

#

is rotten good

#

i feel like we take rotten cause nothing else

hazy breach
#

FW is quite redundant nowadays, hopefully they remove it or make it relevant

hazy breach
#

But the other points arent great. Its kinda silly how rotten by itself is better than 2 points of finality in sims

leaden prairie
#

if i bp there

#

the bp is bad no

fallow nimbus
#

Eviscerate i think

hazy breach
#

Ye unless youve done a couple of storms to apply ruptures

#

Then its probably fine to bp anyway

leaden prairie
#

ah ye true

hazy breach
#

Its just shrugeg

leaden prairie
#

this is a bit cursed hm

hazy breach
fallow nimbus
#

I hope we get 11.1 news when 0.7 hits

hazy breach
#

They usually put the ptr up after the release of the previous patch

#

So should be

vale pine
#

11.0.7 is fairly small, i wonder if 11.1 will bring bigger changes

swift tinsel
#

Personal wish for 11.1 is a rebalancing/reworking of some hero trees and looking at spec trees like sub's that are kinda wonky

#

bit of a pipedream though

vale pine
#

sub plays well atm, lets hope it stays like this.
Deathstalker def. could need some love and the spec tree

plush roost
#

Sub plays well, just wish our capstones had choice to them

#

When would you ever not take shadowcraft

swift tinsel
#

I'd love to see the interactions that are supposed to work together actually work together

#

and I agree, sub plays very well right now especially trickster and I sincerely hope they don't alter that

#

I think like Eleem has mentioned FW needs to be looked at and either shelved or made into something more impactful/interesting

plush roost
#

Lowkey if Darkest Night reduced the CD of shadowdance and sec tec by an additional .7 per cp or something it would be bangin

vale pine
#

find weakness is in this state of being a bit annoying but not rly somehting that gets attention

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, in st its entirely forgettable and in aoe it feels like less interesting mark of the crane

vale pine
#

it was introduced for flavor, but did just add more complexity for the sake of it. Which is the theme of sub

swift tinsel
#

and that's not saying mark of the crane is interesting

glad raven
#

I miss Dark brew

plush roost
#

Find weakness should be a raidbuff on all specs

#

Similar to chaos brand

#

Imo

vale pine
#

as deathstalker

#

but you probably wouldn't play it, brew trades off single target for aoe

glad raven
#

Yeah i tried it for a single key

glossy turtle
#

Does ds sim higher for m+? But it is just annoying to play?

#

I have never actually played sub deathstalker

hazy breach
#

It does not sim higher in dslice no

#

It only sims higher in really long sustained aoe (like 3+ minutes typically)

#

Its mostly about letting your ruptures stack up to full and letting them do its thing

#

Which is not gonna happen in most keys

glossy turtle
#

Aaah ok, saw your runs today brw, you were pumping maaad. I rly wanma play it when inget home

glossy turtle
vernal drift
#

Dont know if its answered already. Thoughts on skardyns (639) over transmitter (626) at court?

swift tinsel
#

transmitter too stronk

#

lines up better with damage amps as well, at least according to lorrgs

vernal drift
#

saw some logs with skardyns, thats why I asked, was a bit curious

swift tinsel
#

could always be a case of just not having transmitter

#

people swapping from sin

vernal drift
#

i see

#

thanks mate

swift tinsel
#

o7

hazy breach
#

People have indeed been doing alright damage with skardyn on court but it doesnt really make any sense

#

Its mostly for the passive agi for the burst phases where you dont have flag+blades, but then you might aswell play like contract or something with no-use idk

glossy turtle
#

its soo weird that we are actually doing dmg with BP. idk why I think it is. it just is XD

swift tinsel
#

darkest timeline lol

glossy turtle
#

dont have a nice bind for it though. so it feels kinda akward

swift tinsel
#

storm + bp spam just feels too unengaging for me

hazy breach
#

Strike+bp

glossy turtle
#

I think that is fine tbh, but in dance, strike and bp feels weird

vernal drift

#

not being able to pug is a first for me

#

in df i was pugging high keys

#

idk what happened this tier

#

i can only play with team over the weekends now

#

lfg is deadge

hazy breach
#

My shaman guildie has pugged decently but idk

leaden prairie
#

idk its not like in df

#

in df i pugged keys higher than im currerntly timing with team basically

hazy breach
#

Even on non push weeks?

#

Idk i mostly stayed right on title range in df

#

Now im a fair bit over

leaden prairie
#

especially non push weeks since team was playing only push weeks really idk

#

its a bit weird

vale pine
hazy breach
#

Gromnak clips always go hard

glossy turtle
#

what would an aoe opener look like? was it something like, just the regular st one, until we hit blades we do Shurken storm and then just blast dam?

hazy breach
#

Ye its the same as ST in general

#

Just replace strike with a storm and evis with bp when applicable

glossy turtle
#

but Storm is only once in the beginning, right?

#

orr?

hazy breach
#

Ye

Outlaw dead

^ i can think of a more painful feeling!

#

feeling of having to play outlaw for some reason

stray plank
strange chasm
#

There is no better feeling in this game then rolling all the buffs with one roll and having zero to start

stray plank
#

That's true

lilac stag

#

Crackshoting every gcd of vanish is pretty good too, until you realize the other DPS did the same damage without needing gigga luck 🤣

you mean they did more because there were more than 8 mobs

Cant wait for outlaw to be mega meta in raid that everybody has to play it and then i have to farm outlaw discord msg’s for the next 6 months on that tier

hazy breach
#

Nah dw its gonna get nerfed immediately if thats the case Cheesin

alpine wraith
#

has happened 3 times

#

can happen 4

hazy breach
#

Or the last boss is gonna be tindral style

#

So its unplayable there anyway Cheesin

worn cape
#

Heey guys, I am new to sub rogue and DPS in general. How do I use my burst windows in M+? Should I make sure I have my major burst up at the pull of every boss or just send it whenever?

hazy breach
#

As long as you have something to hit for your entire burst

#

Its typically just send on CD

#

Since we do so little outside cds holding cds means we lose a lot of damage

worn cape
#

Okay, so not having burst at the pull of a boss is not bad?

alpine wraith
#

a boss is long enough to get at least 1 set of cds in

hazy breach
#

If you only look at boss damage its obviously not good

#

But generally getting more casts out across the dungeon is going to be better

#

Notable exception being stuff like mist first boss where he takes 200% more damage, most of the time at like 1-1:20 into the fight

#

Then its worth losing a cast overall to get it inside that window, since youre effectively getting "3 bursts" at the same time

worn cape
#

I see, thanks for the advice. FrogHeart

turbid dirge
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
honest saddle
#

and then cds are up for the burst round

hazy breach
#

Ye it just depends on how it goes and what level it is

honest saddle
#

I think past like a 12, you might have time for 2 sets before the burst

#

but highest I have done as sub is a 12

hazy breach
#

Ive also seen some high key pusher streamers that had cds on pull but didnt use it

#

And then the burn phase happens at 1:33 anyway Cheesin

#

Although most of the time its in the 1:24-1:28 range

honest saddle
#

yeah I think on high keys you could send on opener, but whats the point

#

you could have sent on the two dudes before and gotten more value

hazy breach
#

Well you can do both

honest saddle
#

yeah I guess depends on comp

#

and how fast they can burn the 2 dudes

#

who is doing high keys on sub that streams

#

I havent found any really high pushers

hazy breach
#

Nobody, but some of the assa dudes play sub first part of mist and last part of nw

#

I have some 16s on youtube, but not that many

honest saddle
#

I am watching yours now

leaden prairie
#

i stopped playing mist first part as sub

#

the swapping out takes too much time in that dungeon

#

when you pull the pack after boss trough wall

#

and its not as neccessary as nw anywya

#

nw last boss is really cursed as assa

honest saddle
#

I would think as soon as you go upstairs in nw, you go sub yeah?

hazy breach
#

If youre two phasing anyway it doesnt matter much ye

leaden prairie
#

before that you have packs that are good as sin

#

and during that rp you have lot of times

#
  • these 2 dudes die alone
#

from the cleavers

hazy breach
#

Theyre completely fine as sub too, but its mostly the 2 dudes that kill themselves

#

So you dont really even need any damage

#

You dont lose much from not being there, whereas you would lose when your tank is pulling the large pack and youre outside

leaden prairie
#

the swap out is prolly worth dps wise anyway

twilit phoenix
#

damage amp bosses are cringe

leaden prairie
#

like

#

it always happen just after i cd as assa

#

so

#

its kinda cool

honest saddle
#

how are you getting out of the dungeon?

hazy breach
#

Ye

leaden prairie
#

you come back and cd as sub

As long as you have darkest night its doable

But its not pretty

Yeah, it killed @limpid hazel on a 14 the other day haha

limpid hazel
#

WHAT I DONT DIE WHAT

#

WHO SAID THAT

stray plank
#

Remember when that ad on last boss of NW beat you up?

limpid hazel
#

yea it hurts u deffo need evasion or heal pot or god

upper narwhal
#

hold vanish for the yeet and make the ad someone else's problem

limpid hazel
#

Done that before

#

Went on the healer

#

Wasn’t great

if you have the 1 hr tricks thing on as sub and you hit the add downstairs

#

BAD DEAL

stray plank
#

WAIT WHAT

hazy breach
#

Ye then you need to kidney

#

He wont insta tp

#

But he will after like 5 seconds or so

upper narwhal
#

does it snap or just perma evade?

honest saddle
#

evade

#

evade

hazy breach
#

Neither

honest saddle
#

evade

#

then snap

#

its kind of weird

stray plank
#

I've not tried that dungeon with tricks 🤣

#

That's kinda funny

Do you guys talent into Shiv for NW? Does it work for second boss?

#

quick questions; at what number of units do i press BP instead of evisc as trickster

stray plank
glossy turtle
#

in what sense? like I am supposed to not use it for 5 targets? or am I using it at below 5 targets?

hazy breach
#

The average cooldown of your flag and blades is like 3:30

#

Use them more often

hazy breach
#

And your burst windows are all whack

hazy breach
stray plank
glossy turtle
#

XD. well I kinda just threw myself into deep water tbh. so I wanna use Bp for 8 targets then? not 5?

hazy breach
#

No, at 5

glossy turtle
#

kinda felt weird popping flag when packs insta die. Ig I just dont have the timing right :C

wicked joltBOT
glossy turtle
#

606 though, so nithing groundbreakinf

stray plank
#

But yeah sub doesn't care about lust so it's mostly about getting as many CDs used as possible

#

As long as they aren't wasted anyways

glossy turtle
#

Yeah that is one thing, as outlaw i didnt care, then i started playing dh n stuff, and assa( haste improves tick of poisons and bleeds?) and i had to learn to care again, and now i need to get used to not caring again

#

Well outlaw doesnt have any major cds tbh, but still

glossy turtle
stray plank
#

Easiest comparison to outlaw is you don't wanna vanish if they won't live through your crackshot window

glossy turtle
#

I mean yeah, true

#

Also its 1:30 cds, not 2: min.

#

But i do think i can seriously improve in other aspects

#

Like the burst combo

#

When i dont have vanish

stray plank
#

Yeah, little keys are weird, most things die to my first dance in blades on a 10, helps if your tank chains though

crude cloak
#

so i also am kinda new to sub just trying it out because i like the playstyle is black powder kind of a dead button rn

glossy turtle
glossy turtle
#

When in reality i shouldnt

crude cloak
#

so should i be playing the other hero talents instead?

glossy turtle
#

No

stray plank
# glossy turtle When i dont have vanish

Vanish doesn't really matter on sub, same with re-stealth. Like it helps but it's not a crackshot window or an indiscriminate carnage/master assassin buff like the other specs

glossy turtle
crude cloak
#

is sub good in st for raids as well it seems like its profile could be strong

stray plank
glossy turtle
stray plank
#

It's slightly worse than sin in st but way more fun imo, st sin gameplay is awful

sin imo is so painful in pugs

#

i pug a lot

crude cloak

and not restalthing for deathmark is hella troll

wicked joltBOT
glossy turtle
#

There is a big difference between sin st raid and st m+

#

Check that out @crude cloak

crude cloak
#

or there hero talent i mean

glossy turtle
glossy turtle
#

Well that is also the thing, i dont know ehen to implement shuriken storm

glossy turtle
# stray plank Wdym

Like instead of doing blades into secret tech. I do secret tech into blades. Like in the st opener

stray plank
#

Yeah that's fine

crude cloak
#

dude slim thank u so much

#

thats super cool

stray plank
#

I'm saying you just spend some CP in your flag then send everything

well thanks @vale pine !

#

Are you talking about tornado?

glossy turtle
#

Ig i am

#

Thought it was called shuriken storm

stray plank
#

Me personally I run non tornado build, that button is so clunky

jaunty heath
#

Tornado is used if cds are >30 secs away iirc

#

Haven’t played nado either

#

But I think that was the only rule to it

glossy turtle
stray plank
glossy turtle
#

You need to use it as a builder outside stealth, and once in stealth, to proc that talent

jaunty heath
#

No there’s multiple, even both hero specs are playable

glossy turtle
#

Thingy

jaunty heath
#

Okay now

#

Ur talking about storm

#

Im so confused

glossy turtle
#

Yeah

#

I said shuriken storm at the beginning, but seemed by the reaction it wasnt a name

jaunty heath
#

Well in aoe in dance you use first rotten on strike

#

Second one on storm

stray plank
#

Oh lol I didn't understand the question

jaunty heath
#

Or first symbols I should stay

#

As rotten triggers from symbols

glossy turtle
#

Do you do rotten into evisc or bp? Cause i see eleem sneaking in an evisc once in a while, even at 5+ targets

jaunty heath
#

Is Eleem playing ds?

glossy turtle
#

No

jaunty heath
#

Or is he playing trickster

#

Well

glossy turtle
#

Trickster

stray plank
jaunty heath
#

Yoj need to keep slice and dice up

#

As trickster I think you only Evis at 5+ for snd

stray plank
#

Using BP doesn't help much if 1 target is left at 50% health

jaunty heath
#

And anything under 5 you evis anyways

#

But ye snd triggers from evis so

#

You don’t wanna drop that

#

And also what slim is saying

glossy turtle
#

forgot all abt that

jaunty heath
#

Situational uses for evis

glossy turtle
#

as outlaw and assa, you donr rly need to think abt it. but now that BP is relevant it makes sense

stray plank
#

Do you guys know if coup de grace proc cares about target count?

jaunty heath
#

Also this has nothing to do with rotten either

#

Rotten is just a buff to builders

glossy turtle
#

Well meant Shadowstrike

#

Dont know why I said rotten

#

thats mb

jaunty heath
#

Uhm

#

You always strike when you have strike

#

Only time you don’t strike

#

Is when rotten is up

#

Then you use one on strike

#

And second one on storm

glossy turtle
#

huh, ok. Dont think I have been doing that XD

jaunty heath
#

Eh not exactly sure what the target count for that rule is but it’s prob not very high

#

But also this one singular thing won’t make or break your gameplay

glossy turtle
#

No, but thinking abt it does.

jaunty heath
#

Just remember if you see rotten icon on your weakaura

#

One strike

#

One storm

#

That’s it

glossy turtle
#

one strike -> spender -> one storm -> spender

#

?

#

😄

hazy breach
hazy breach
glossy turtle
jaunty heath
glossy turtle
#

ok, you dont wanna Sectech after storm?

hazy breach
#

If thats the question then no you always coup

jaunty heath
#

What matters is

#

Secret tech goes first

glossy turtle
#

I was thinking for imp Shuriken storm

#

Wont that make Sectech hit harder?

#

Or do I just not know what weakness is? which can be very likely

hazy breach
#

Sectech does mostly magic damage

#

So armor reduction doesnt matter much

jaunty heath
#

I am honestly not sure if getting snd through evis has higher prio than getting your secret tech first

#

In case you don’t have snd running

#

But Eleem knows

hazy breach
#

You should have snd running before dancing to begin with

glossy turtle
#

coupe doesnt trigger snd, which is kinda annoying

jaunty heath
#

Yeah okay true I’m stupid

glossy turtle
#

You get it through opener, so I assume you just keep it going after that

jaunty heath
#

You evis first finisher in flag for snd regardless

#

So that doesn’t matter

#

Tldr use one rotten stack on strike -> secret tech -> next rotten on storm -> bp

glossy turtle
#

yessirs. sounds good.

#

Also just gotta find a good bind for my BP, havent used it before so I have it on an awkward button

strong shoal
stray plank
#

what do you guys take instead of first dance for heavy chain pull tanks? Weapon master?

#

i guess i could take nado too

hazy breach
#

the only option is weaponmaster

#

But dont

#

Youll get enough resets for tfd in every dungeon to make it better than weaponmaster

stray plank
hazy breach
#

Doesnt matter

stray plank
#

i guess it depends on dungeon though

#

i love first dance on dawn

hazy breach
#

Youll get enough resets anyway because you literally cant chain the entire dungeon

glossy turtle
#

but cant you also kinda play it out better? like maybe you have 4 sec before a pull happens, then you can kinda stay in stealth for 2 sec without attacking?

hazy breach
#

After most bosses you get it for example

#

And you dont need a lot of them for it to beat a lowly pure ST talent like weaponmaster

glossy turtle
jaunty heath
#

Well he just said

#

Even just after bosses is enough for it to beat weaponmaster

tribal blade
#

it's like extending your fully ramped dance by 50% in aoe

#

it's quite a bit

hazy breach
#

Or if you want to think about it in CDR terms its like spending 60 combo points because youre getting 30s of "CDR" by getting an additional half dance

glossy turtle
#

is it team combat or is it your combat status? like can I just in theory be stealthed around mobs for 6 sec and get extended?

hazy breach
#

Its a buff on you

#

That count up when youre not in combat

#

It is undoubtedly a bit wonky

#

But you can often just not engage for 1/2s if you want yes

tribal blade
#

some dungeons you're guaranteed to get it on most pulls

glossy turtle
#

the first dance?

#

isnt that just extending?

delicate steeple
#

is there a way to sim ovinax egg at 30 stacks of the agility buff?

#

or vice versa

#

and what is the default sim expect it to be at

jaunty heath
#

You can set conditions for the trinket, I think base is 20/10(I could be wrong)

hazy breach
#

The baseline is randomly rotating but never going above 20

short radish
#

if you get too close the timer will start again

#

but you can always shadowstrike in

#

since youre in stealth

yup

just gotta do it

the worst is you get a long p3 pull, and then you totally check out p1 and die to something beyond dumb

because of coup charge

but im bitching about a skill issue, so be better i guess

you still dont BP with trickster until a like 16 targets right?

#

I'm using luxthos's WA

hollow raft
#

oki. thanks! 🙂

#

takes abit time to get used to this spec in m+ scneraio. you prefer trickster or ds?

fair stump
#

Trickster is the easier to learn, your ST rotation is almost the same as your AoE rotation

#

I think DS can parse a bit higher in some cases, but imo it's miserable to play

hollow raft
#

yea i felt trickster was the thing for me. so Bp is always at 5+ targets?

#

or only when i dont have flurry

fair stump
#

You BP at 5+ targets as long as they all have FW

I don't know what's the count number if they don't have FW

wdym "fit"?

#

inside what?

#

shadow dance

#

my last shdow dance my st is barely coming off cd

edgy zenith
#

it shouldn't be continuous

#

there should be a down time of no dance after the first two

#

then you resend on your third sectech

#

ah ok, so i need to wait a bit after first 2 dances

edgy zenith
#

yep

#

totally normal

thx

anyone look into s2 dungeons?

#

any banger trinkets for sub?

#

RL is asking me to go subtlety. Skardynn Grace simming best for me currently (no transmitter yet), do I just hold it for my shadow blades window whenever it lines up?

alpine wraith
#

you just do 2

#

then dance again when sec tech is up if you're trickster

#

if you're DS you wait for CB kinda

stray plank
tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

you still kinda do it with first dance

stray plank
alpine wraith
#

it is a bit fun i like it

tribal blade
#

optional at least 😉

#

it took me a bit to figure out how to actually do the opener on queen properly

#

i had to pull up a vid to see exactly how to position

#

because the boss does a massive move right at the start and you have a small window to do transmitter

#

but kinda crazy we progged the entire P1 in 1 night

abstract dock
#

Also for shadow blades, is it only the opener that delays using it?

abstract dock
#

what's the reason for that

jaunty heath
#

Secret tech having no interaction with it

#

I‘d guess

wind canopy
#

You're also getting full CP with premed from things like Dance in the beginning, so it's just a waste to use SB right with flag.

tribal blade
#

basically combo of you gain full CPs with premed on first builder in dance and blades doesn't buff sectec in any way

#

actually i think blades buffs the physical part of sectec, but the real damage comes from the clones

so long as you're willing to sometimes eat losing uptime

it's not bad

and no coup deaths so far

yeah and most of the time

that uptime is just non dance

very true

if you dont do first portal in second platform it is more dps to send cds into that one

sadly that is my job so dps goes bye bye

The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.

barren haven
#

Again, dear people, I have an understanding problem or I would like to clarify something for myself:

If we are close to Coup de Grace (4 stacks) then are we really using BP until the dance window?

So does that mean with coup de grace up we use our super charge on it and then secret technique as 2nd finisher?

Otherwise Sectec is always our first finisher in the dance?

In the case of AoE (let's say +4 targets) then do we also or super charge bp?

stray plank
#

I forget where I saw it but it's a very tiny gain, unless you're being super sweaty it's not worth it

hazy breach
#

So you dont waste procs of it

barren haven
hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter if you use supercharger on an eviscerate or coup

#

It adds the literal exact same amount of damage

stray plank
#

Yeah it's just more CP, it's not a damage amp like darkest night

hazy breach
#

Since supercharger isnt +40% dmg, its +3 combo points, and eviscerate scales linearly with combo points

stray plank
#

Think of coup as a big supercharger proc

hazy breach
#

But you definitely want to supercharge sectech every time

barren haven
#

Y cp linear

#

Ok so Sectec always First?

stray plank
#

Cuz they add a flat amount of damage per a CP used

hazy breach
#

Sectech should always be supercharged

#

But it doesnt matter if its the first or second, its the same either way

barren haven
#

Wait what? isnt just the First ability after Symbols supercharged?

stray plank
#

2

barren haven
#

Oh

#

Not if you spec 2 points into it

Another one, okay?
Here comes the sub Noob again COPIUM

We shuriken storm once in dance while aoe scenario happens and for the Rest we shadowstrike + bp / coup?

#

Fuu answered me that before I think, bit in real life it felt weird sometimes

swift tinsel
#

you'd want to use Strike as the first builder after Symbols/Dance and Storm as the second to consume The Rotten, but you have to make sure you're using Storm second because otherwise it consumes both stacks of the buff

stray plank
barren haven

Do we have any info on the new ring?

At what target count do we storm instead of SS?

barren haven
#

Thanks

hazy breach
fair stump
#

Oh

#

I thought the CP was more valuable than the dmg at some point

hazy breach
#

The cp stops scaling at 6

swift tinsel
#

strike is big dam + inev

hazy breach
#

You cant get more than full cp from a storm anyway

#

And storm does no damage, whereas strike does a lot of damage

swift tinsel
#

and the added bonus of being able to proc unseen blade

stray plank
#

Btw how are we mathing BP over evic at 5 targets, based on tooltip that doesn't seem to math

swift tinsel
#

beware of trusting tooltips

barren haven
#

Another min/max thingy in M+:
do u guys stack flagellation and shadow blades in trash or cascade from pack to pack? What gives more outcome in the end?

swift tinsel
#

Can pretty much send cooldowns as they come up for pulls as long as you have them for dangerous ones and bosses

barren haven
#

Ok

swift tinsel
#

Kinda depends dungeon to dungeon

#

and how your tank is pulling

barren haven
#

I think im clear now ty guys

hazy breach
#

Most of the time as long as you have something to hit during all of it you should be using them on cd

#

Because you do so little damage outside of cds

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

What's priority: wait for pandemic window on symbols and ignore that sectech is ready or send symbols for an immediate supercharged sectech? I assume the former, but want to make sure.

void hound
hazy breach
#

Not really no

hazy breach
#

You send symbols to guarantee a supercharged sectech

#

Sectech doesnt have to be the first finisher

#

It can be the second

#

So when sectech has 10s or less left is when you'd use symbols

hybrid prism
#

do yall ever take shiv?

hollow spear
#

Maybe I remember it wrong (have to check vid), but I was once in a situation during opener that sectech was up again and symbols was > 3 seconds

stray plank
hybrid prism
#

bro that pfp lmao

hollow spear
#

Hence my question. Do I wait until symbols is at 3s and just send another finisher, wasting cdr on sectech. Or do I re-symbol early?

stray plank
hazy breach
#

That shouldnt really happen unless you get an excessive amount of sht procs

#

But again, all you care about is getting supercharge on sectech

stray plank
hazy breach
#

It naturally works out fine with the pandemic window by just playing around that anyway

digital aspen
#

yo Eleem, any keys you ve found DS works better than trickster?

#

or at least where you play DS at

hazy breach
#

no

digital aspen
#

trickster supreme, nice

hollow spear
#

Ok, I'll not worry about that then

hazy breach

DS is fine, but it mostly does the same things as assa does

So why not play assa instead and do more

what is the next best trinket?

#

im trying to learn sub rn, and idk having to jump 3 times n stuff or collect buff kinda messes me up

#

I do have all the saucey trinkets

dry zodiac
#

Unfortunately, even a 606 transmitter will beat all of those

glossy turtle
#

oh yeah, but like what would be the next best thing

dry zodiac
#

I guess you could use skardyns while learning

#

But it’s significantly worse

glossy turtle
#

... dude this sucks. Cause it just makes learning the spec harder. Cause I need to concern myself with the trinket mechanic

digital aspen
#

collect or stand in circle 🙂

#

you can just learn the spec without the trinket, and once you get it implement it into your playstyle

#

I know it looks intimidating at first, but after you play it for a while, it becomes second nature

glossy turtle
#

I know its simple, but when you gotta make sure you open correctly, while having to absorb, it messes you up. The smallest things can mess ppl up when theyre learning

digital aspen
#

I get it, that's why i'm saying, start with getting your burst window down, and then start implementing the trinket into it

#

step by step

glossy turtle
#

yeah, im simming rn to see what is best

#

what dps should I be aiming for (overall)? rn im just playing 10s, so I wont have to worry abt anything other then rotation

#

I know it varies

digital aspen
#

like you said, it varies

glossy turtle
#

But like for an ara kara

digital aspen
#

idk, depends how your tank pulls, and when the other dps use cds

#

i dont think overalls are a good metric

glossy turtle
#

well How do I know im doing things right? I dont know how to log or anything

Idk why a pala, can absorb half of the orbs, and just not use bubble, on dark pulse. Like I have no joke ran it 15 times. it just wasnt worth it

glossy turtle
tepid trellis

well 1 ilvl roughly translates to 1% dmg

glossy turtle
#

8%, are ya sure?

tepid trellis

ROUGHLY

digital aspen

you seem to have racoon power too Bondo, so you ll be fine

tepid trellis

then you also have item effects

glossy turtle

I have

#

well yeah Ig, last time I played i got 1,6 with skardyns.

#

with food buff only I think

digital aspen
#

just focus on doing your burst window well

tepid trellis
#

thats my sub gear

digital aspen
#

and try not too hold cds too much

after bp got relevant, it kinda got awkward for me

from my testing with it

but you will still 100% play BP for Ds

#

no?=

tepid trellis
#

more than 1 target = BP

glossy turtle
#

XD

digital aspen
#

plays kinda like old sub

tepid trellis
#

its quite simple

glossy turtle
#

well I like trickster

digital aspen
#

you d just do shadowstrike-bp then, for aoe

#

shuriken storm to consume 2nd rotten stack

tepid trellis
#

5 or more targets = BP

#

as trickster

glossy turtle
#

hopefully sub stays decent, so you can push keys with em

#

i get all the rules

#

its just having to execute it

#

that makes it hard.

digital aspen
#

dont worry, i ve forseen s2 sub meta

unless they actually nerf sub it'll be fine to push with

pretty sure i called him a rat

#

Our PI's were the wild west, we had 2 priests and the first few pulls of the night they'd be loosely assigned then you never knew who was getting it when lol

#

so I'd pay for it early with gold or flasks/pots bc I was always farming them

glossy turtle
#

would you only use dance + symbols if you have secret tech ready? Or can you do like symbols + dance -> shuriken storm -> BP -> Shadow strike -> Secret tech.
So like I get Secret tech off cd by using BP. Or do you HAVE to wait to do
symbols + dance -> Shadow strike -> Secret tech -> shuriken storm -> BP

tepid trellis
#

You wanna hit sectech as first finisher usually

#

1st or 2nd really

quaint prawn

So when we came back to our Flag/SB cds again during combat. Whats the order to execute there? You have enough cpoints to finish pop flag then what?

Yeah it sucks

Wasnt it echo, who almost had it?

hazy breach
#

But when you complete the minigame

fossil loom
#

ok for skardyns i can just press with flag, since its 20secs or whatever instantly

hazy breach
#

So you want to press it with flag so you can complete it in time for dance (or technically for blades, but its fine either way)

#

Ideally get transmitter, but yes

It's scary to even think about lol

How back is finality btw? Havent run it, just curious

#

its 7.5% bp/evis dmg per point, thats not a whole lot

Sure its a bit of rupture too, but a lot of rupture damage is replicating or corrupt the blood, which doesnt get buffed by finality

Outside of that you want to make sure you always get your sectech supercharged
