So it should be like 1% if you time your inbetween dances with it

bleak wind
#

1%?

steel zinc
upper narwhal
#

so always use 2nd in cooldowns and always use once in between?

hazy breach
#

Only use it inbetween if you use it pretty much immediately once its ready

#

Thats why its not in simc because its really annoying to re-write all of the symbols&dance conditions for it

small juniper
#

the assa / outlaw mods would do it ...

upper narwhal
#

makes sense, it's more worth to hold it for CDs than use it more frequently and miss the important one. sounds irritating af to implement lol

small juniper
#

lazy eleem

hazy breach
bleak wind
#

so are you guesstimating how strong it is then

hazy breach
#

Well the 0.6% isnt a guesstimate

vale pine
#

0.6% but it is more annoying to play

small juniper
#

😠

wind canopy
steel zinc
#

?

vestal escarp
#

Can we sandbag more?

#

I want cycle of hatred tbh

vale pine
#

don't rly think we sandbag ^^

vestal escarp
#

Like bruh imagine you start sending double the amount of dances

tepid trellis
#

then they would just nerf the dmg we did inside of dance

pliant topaz
haughty mural
#

He would avoid it

swift tinsel
# vestal escarp

Could also have it like it is on ptr where their main spender reduces its cooldown by 25%

thick temple
#

I know its late into season but i did it yay. thank u to this discord for teaching sub rogue

#

i still cant remember which classes have lust Surebud

haughty mural
#

Shaman in every group anyway 2ez

#

anyone knows if there is a possibility to use sim to get info about stats and if for example u have too much crit and need more mastery or vers or idk?

pliant topaz
#

np

tribal blade
#

i was trying to explain to my guild's enhance about how sub needs to hold cds between P1 and P2 of queen

#

and how it tanks our damage

#

and he said "that's the same for everyone"

#

i couldn't quite get him to understand how much of sub's damage is in cds

#

and how little we do outside of it

hazy breach
#

200k dps enjoyers

tribal blade
#

holding hand with the tank outside cds enjoyers

twilit phoenix
#

so BP at 5+

#

and SS at 3+?

void hound
#

ive been using manual CB for a while, i dont find it annoying to play
in fact, i came to enjoy it for the later bosses as it offers some fun optimization

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

if you mean strike you keep casting it in dance no matter the target count to keep proccing unseen blade

you dropped this btw 👑

tribal blade
#

i decided to run a random SoD to finish out the myth mog for my warr and got x2 jaithys and 1 leggo bow and 1 EoN

#

what a lockout

lilac stag
gritty knot
lilac stag
#

unless it’s changed I think Ret follow same logic. Sim all the options, let robot figure out gearing.

#

you’ll usually find 1-2 very vocal people saying OMG MORE HASTE FOR X

jaunty heath
#

Ye thats any spec

jaunty heath
vale pine
#

you usually just use vers/mastery on all items unless its forced by tier set

lilac stag
#

It is interesting to hop on a non gcd locked spec and feel the difference in what haste and lust can do.

keen dome
#

It's really interesting

lilac stag
#

unless I hear my WA, idk if anyone pressed lust as sub.

keen dome
#

Hearing the WA is the real buff

#

If you are using the pedro WA, that is.

tribal blade
#

compared to rogue where i literally don't notice when i get PI unless i notice it on my buff WA

lilac stag
#

I think it’s also why folks still get hung up on breakpoints

void hound
#

i do notice the increase in SHT stacks during lust

#

but thats it

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I guess not an edit, but easy enough to slap it in

lilac stag
#

This just made my Saturday. feelsloveman

keen dome
#

Pedro WA best WA

lilac stag
#

They think fury warriors are in a good spot.

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

I think thats the intent

lilac stag
#

Dodge balls.

hazy breach
#

Its the first boss right?

lilac stag
#

but yes. Seems intentional.

fallow nimbus
#

Isn't that like the 4th?

grand wyvern
#

yeah its 4th

fallow nimbus
#

The pug breaker, no double vault for you kekw

#

Rashanan 1.337

keen dome
#

I'm excitd to lead pugs through it and shout "LOOK OUT FOR THE BIG BALLS"

fallow nimbus
#

I think the strat will be to see the trashpiles like rings

#

Your ball just drives along it

#

What I've seen my guild do in testing was wild, balls drifting around like it's tokio drift the movie

keen dome
tribal blade
keen dome
#

5th in the journal

tribal blade
keen dome
#

But I dunno if it's a linear raid or not

#

Isn't the first boss the t-rex v mecha-gorilla fight or something? or am I just willing something that funny into existence

tribal blade
#

i think it looks great though, i actually kinda like how much of a clusterfuck it is

keen dome
#

Yeah, same. it looks chaotic but in an understandable way.

#

Once people get it, the mechanic looks really fun

#

Also the incentive to do it well doing a ton of HP damage to the boss

tribal blade
#

running the balls into the boss has got to add to your parse

#

i imagine

fallow nimbus
#

It will be removed just like tindral

keen dome
#

I like it when doing mechanics well causes bosses to lose HP / be debuffed

tribal blade
#

so if you get the mechanic your parse is just bricked

#

hard to say, who knows what they'll do

fallow nimbus
#

Yes kekw

keen dome
#

Haha

tribal blade
#

that was my immediate thought when i saw them running the balls around

keen dome
#

brb making a katamari damacy WA for if you get the mechanic

grand wyvern
#

blizzard trying to intentionally brick parses Surebud

tribal blade
#

this is like that monkey MoP dungeon boss on crack

fallow nimbus
#

A bricked parse means you try again next week pepelaughemote

tribal blade
#

your entire rotation is gonna center around not sending stuff right before that mechanic goes out

grand wyvern
#

or gamble

tribal blade
#

or gamble

keen dome
#

gamble

#

FULL SEND, live with the consequences

tribal blade
#

depends tbh, if it's like 15 secs before it goes out that's enough time to get the majority of both dances out

#

20-30 seconds you're chilling if you send

keen dome

#

In m+ guys as trickster so if flawless is up at 5+ does BP still win? Ty ♥️

tulip gorge
#

yes, but keep in mind sometimes you need to do prio damage

#

and it's better to just eviscerate instead

hot plaza
#

Legend thanks mate ♥️👍

tulip gorge

that I don't know, I'm waiting for people smarter than me to theorycraft kekdog

hot plaza

No problem thanks mate ♥️👍

tulip gorge
#

I doubt we will use sectech as first finisher anymore since we won't have the current tier set

mint swift
#

Hoping subs good next season, assa tier piece is dogwater

keen dome
#

We'll still glow purple so we're winning.

lilac stag
#

all tier seems dog water right now. Trinkets and Hero talents seem for despair on sub side. Tuning and the eventual bug fixes. kekdog

Almost typed that all out without laughing.

tulip gorge
#

I hope they will convert one of the 2m trinkets into 1.5m

grand wyvern
#

or even 3m would be fine right?

tulip gorge
#

what is this poison toggle I keep hearing about

#

get rid of the 1h duration?

keen dome
#

Yeah, something I keep trying to will into existence. Basically a pretty minor QoL. Instead of our posions being 1H duration, we simply toggle them ona nd off.

tulip gorge
#

eh I'd prefer for them to focus on something more substantial

keen dome
#

Ye, of course. hence minor qol.

#

Although I'd argue it shouldn't be an either / or. Just a "This would be nice, maybe it'll come when they do other work on the class" thing.

tulip gorge
#

unfortunately they have limited resources

#

they need to first rework mage and druid for the millionth time

#

then do something for other classes

steel zinc
keen dome
#

Probably

grand wyvern
keen dome
#

I'm sure there's a very good, spaghetti reason for it to still be 1H in the year of our deathstalker 2025, but it's something I think would be a good, solid QoL change.

tulip gorge
#

they also probably have more relaxed deadlines

keen dome
#

Also they're working on a completely different game, in a different enviroment, with far less broadness of design

#

It's not really comparable, imo

grand wyvern
tulip gorge
#

does PoE have patches like wow does, where people expect for new content every set period of time?

keen dome
#

It has leagues.

grand wyvern
#

yes every 4 months

keen dome
#

Not remotely like WoW, though.

tulip gorge
#

but is it as big as new raid or new zones

keen dome
#

no

#

It's also not an MMO.

grand wyvern
#

they dont do as much new assets like wow for example they work smart and recycle stuff and focus more on gameplay

keen dome
#

And they're completely different games. One is a very broad MMO with multiple gameplay systems (PvE, PvP, and within them M+, etc). And the other is an ARPG with a singular campaign and additional mechanics tied to the core gameplay in the form of league systems.

#

A better one, if you wanna do the comparisons, would be FF14 and WoW.

#

Both are MMO's that have a paid subscription and expansion monetisation method. Both have 'seasons' in a loose of similarity, raid tiers, pvp, etc. And big patches with expectations. They're still not directly comparable 'cos WoW is pretty much a one-of-a-kind game but it's closer, at least.

tulip gorge
#

well I still think a huge problem is the bureaucracy

#

I bet there is a lot of useless management that has to give approval for every tiny thing

keen dome
#

Possibly, yeah.

grand wyvern
#

i heard GGG say in an interview that they don't want to grow too much to avoid too many layers of management

lilac stag
tulip gorge
keen dome
#

I'm just hoping for chaos season and strength trinket. Would it be good? no. Would it be fun? no. would it be funny? yes.

lilac stag
#

auto attacks go brrrr

molten citrus
keen dome
#

Yeah, absolutely. Each patch is very routine. There's no variance. No new zone, etc.

#

New 8-man raid + story + dungeon -> new alliance raid + story + dungeon -> new 8-man raid + story + dungeon, etc.

molten citrus
#

Yeah

#

Their raids are a lot smaller too I think

keen dome
#

There's some curveballs, but it's tremendously smaller than what WoW has.

lilac stag
#

When do you get the new horde raid?

keen dome
#

They are. They're all lairbosses.

#

Load in, fight boss.

grand wyvern
#

maybe is just me but i don't want a new zone every patch

lilac stag
#

I’d take a new island every patch

keen dome
#

hell yeah

molten citrus
#

If it meant we could get more class attention I’d gladly take no new zones I think

lilac stag
#

looking for marmaduke hit me in the feels

keen dome
#

I can't really imagine how WoW would work without them adding a major region with a major patch, though.

#

Since so much is typically tied to it.

molten citrus
#

Yeh prolly

lilac stag
vestal escarp
#

It's a "recent" thing really

keen dome
#

I guess, actually, the final patch of BfA?

grand wyvern
#

they are trying to make 5-6 different games for different kind of people

lilac stag
#

I’m hoping AI will fix class development. kekw

keen dome
#

oh no

#

the llm has halluncinated that rogue is a healer

lilac stag
#

Crimson Vial ftw

grand wyvern
lilac stag
#

Why is my party dead

#

Fucking healer

keen dome
#

Just paragraphs of patch notes talking about how they've buffed the rogue ability "Sideblast" and it simply doesn't exist.

keen dome
lilac stag
#

Would that be worse than our current patch notes?

vestal escarp

#

Wth man

keen dome
#

I think it's worth keeping in mind what the majority of players in WoW do. 'Cos man, 14% have AotC this season. 14%!

molten citrus
#

i think it's prolly helping them retain players

keen dome
#

Ye

lilac stag
molten citrus
#

but i don't think it's helping how retail feels to play

keen dome
#

I mean, they have different teams working on them so it's probably fine.

#

But I imagine it can result in confusion.

molten citrus
#

retail just feels kinda deadge

lilac stag
#

It always does

keen dome
#

Seasonal model

#

We hit late season, people go do other stuff.

lilac stag
#

Cept PvP is finally dead dead all season

vestal escarp
#

Goodge

keen dome
#

PvP can't die until I get the 1.8k set this season

molten citrus
#

leaving out the super dead times during SL

hazy breach
molten citrus
#

it's been getting worse and worse

hazy breach
#

But one key away from 3.5 then we probably stop

lilac stag
#

because m+ is hell and raiding is well walled for a lot of lower mythic guilds by another WA boss

tulip gorge
#

I finally got a transmitter, funnily enough from the weekly timewalking quest LOLW

keen dome
#

It does feel a little quieter right now than DF did at any point except S4. But that's just feeliness rather than data. Looking at DataForazeroth is interesting 'cos only 0.3% of accounts have CE, 14% have AotC. I need to check normal sometime. 19%? I think have KSM.

#

It's a lot less than DF had.

I enjoy arms more, fury is fine as well

is arms still a slow spec?

I forget we can actually interact

So used to EU folks. Lol

haha hell yeah

it'd be sick if we could one day play cross region

#

cross-region play when.

molten citrus

frfr

keen dome
#

I'd also help but, ye. Region

molten citrus
#

FF has it

keen dome
#

Ye it owns

molten citrus
#

yeah its sick

lilac stag
#

that’s the one thing I wish we really had

molten citrus
#

gotta deal with ping or use a VPN and an addon

lilac stag
#

Don’t need the AH and shut, but just able to interact in game for groups and stuff

molten citrus
#

yeah exactly

keen dome
#

Yeah

molten citrus
#

i bet that would help the game feel more alive throughout the season

#

so much

keen dome
#

It'd just be nice to play with people, regardless of region.

#

MMO's are about connecting people, after all

molten citrus
#

for example eu pvp kinda keeps more participation throughout the season (not by much at all, but yeah)

lilac stag
#

With my dog stuff, I end up interacting with a lot more people from the UK than I do with NA folks unless it’s my students.

ye, it is good. Just.. eh. mid. Never been a fan. Now, a good mushroom pie

molten citrus
#

i never had it growing up

keen dome
#

tikka masala pie also pretty good surprisingly

molten citrus

so maybe i'm recency biased

lilac stag
#

Chicken pot pie not bad

molten citrus
#

i love a good chicken pot pie as well

lilac stag

just a vessel for the yummies

I don't eat meat anymore but chicken pot pie was a divine thing when I first got to try it. What a good invention.

Heyo anyone know what the current severed strands damage bonus is?

lilac stag
#

are there any proteins you miss?

#

I’m not sure I’d want to keep living if I couldn’t get a good local strip steak to cook

keen dome
#

Chicken and duck, honestly. Chicken 'cos it's so versatile and useful and easy and duck because. man, duck. What a bird.

molten citrus
#

i don't think i could ever go vegetarian/vegan/etc either

lilac stag
#

find someone that can cook duck proper and you have a mate for life

molten citrus
#

i've never even tried it

#

:O

keen dome
#

I worked in a higher quality frozen food place for a few years, and it has completely ruined a ton of food for me, haha.

#

Oh man, duck is the best. You gotta. Either the chinese style or just general. It's so good

#

Incredibly tasty, and the way the fat renders.

molten citrus
#

tbh i haven't tried most 'non-traditional' things

keen dome
#

Duck a l'orange is a classic

lilac stag
#

we’re just outside of Chicago. A few years back we went to the outer banks in N Carolina. Ordered fish in some form every meal. We then did a surf and turf order. Worst steak I had ever eaten in my life.

#

Local fresh was never so apparent to me

#

I won’t get seafood out here

keen dome
#

Yeah, fresh is so incredibly different.

lilac stag
#

also, holy fuck a good air fryer can reheat a cooked steak perfectly

#

that was last weeks discovery.

keen dome
#

I've been tempted by one, I've seen some really cool tofu recipes in them. Someday.

#

Really good way to do some quick tofu puffs or steaks or something

lilac stag
#

We got the instavortex

#

It’s been lovely for everything

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

lilac stag
#

even got crisp sweet potato fries out of it

keen dome
#

Oh, something I absolutely miss is good Pho. Can't really get vegeterian Pho that's the same since the broth is so instrumental

lilac stag

Sorry, but also, food chat good chat coup_de_grace

Crisps from other countires are always a delight. What their standard of 'snack' is and stuff. I've been going through a few brands of bombay mix lately. Each one progressively spicier, it rules.

lilac stag
#

can you get flavored pistachios?

#

Wonderful Chili and Honey are delicious

keen dome
#

Oh yeah, they rule a lot.

#

pistachios in general are fantastic, and then you add more flavour to them? Amazing.

lilac stag
#

The salt and vinegar is pretty good. Have to be careful to not burn my tongue. lol

keen dome
#

Salt and vinegar are the goat snack flavours.

#

For non-spicy, anyway

lilac stag
#

damn I have a taste for fish and chips

keen dome
#

Hell yeah. Mushie peas with fishie chips

#

best

lilac stag
#

the best fish and chips I’ve ever had was in Honolulu. An Irish bar. Stumbled upon it before leaving and was waiting to head to the airport. There was an English guy there, who was living in Japan for work. We ended up chatting a good bit while watching soccer. Apparently had family in HI and said the pub was always a favorite stop just because the food reminded him of home.

keen dome
#

Haha, that rules. I bet the fish would've been a lot fresher than the kind you'd get here in England?

#

soloq limited to 12s since you cant deplete them anymore would be a thing

keen dome
#

I do think a soloq can work, but it has to be focused on the weekly and casual bracket (2 - 12)

swift tinsel
#

if it guaranteed a lust/brez in each run, I'd be fine with that

keen dome
#

Give every healer a brez. give every tank a lust

swift tinsel
#

^^^^

keen dome
#

Bam, I have solved a big problem

#

I continue to say this because the warrior lust can be them just shouting really loudly and that's funny.

swift tinsel
#

3 Michelin Stars

#

If it comes with that animation I'll tank all day lol

#

seriously though, all healers not having brez makes little sense at this point

#

Paladins can use the light to brez, why not priest

#

insert lore reasons for the rest of them that aren't even any kind of a stretch at all if you think about it for .2 seconds lol

keen dome
#

You can add in a flavour reason for it, yeah. It doesn't reduce any class identity, because you still have DPS / healers who can lust / rez.

#

But all it does is smooth it out, and make the quality of play higher. Every group will have both, regardless of combination

#

Because you'll always have a tank and a healer

swift tinsel
#

"thEn DpS dOn'T HaVE UtiLitY"

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

good, give back scrolls then

keen dome
#

You could also achieve the precise same result by making a brez item / lust item that's 1:1 to how it works on classes that have it, too

#

Which is an eqaully good solution, imo. Either way results in the same, and is better for the game

swift tinsel
#

I've been a scrolls advocate from day 1

#

I think the damage profiles should be the unique identity

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Yeah. Damage profiles, baked in utility, etc. There's a lot to give classes identity and room.

#

Scrolls and access to critical utility like brez/lust simply smooths out other stuff.

swift tinsel
#

100%

keen dome
#

You can also spread 'em around crafters too which gives thema constant thing to do

#

Or shove them all on inscription so inscription has another item to make lmao

swift tinsel
#

You'll still have stuff like lock gate skips, shroud (even tho invis pots exist), etc

keen dome
#

Yeah.

swift tinsel
#

Doesn't inscription basically die after people stop using darkmoon trinkets lol

#

maybe offhand/staff crafts

keen dome
#

Staffs + vantus

swift tinsel
#

ah yeah

#

Give lw drums that require some acuity

keen dome
#

Nah, just let 'em make 'em.

swift tinsel
#

and non-acuitiy ones are like 80% effective

#

I'm fine with it either way

keen dome
#

No friction, just simple. Makes it easier for them to be used effectively. As soon as you put something to make it a bit fiddly, you have a lot of people be weird.

swift tinsel
#

True

keen dome
#

Imagine going into a +10 and wiping and someone used their acuity drums. In this hypothetical scenario, I imagine the guy might get pissy about it and ragequit 'cos you burned his expensive item.

#

So it's just easier to remove the potential for any kind of additional punishment for failure.

swift tinsel
#

That's a valid point, as someone who's sitting on hundreds of acuity I don't really have that perspective atm lol

keen dome
#

Ye, I mean I get it too and wouldn't care personally. I just know how deranged some people in pugs get, and how people can perceive this kind of stuff.

#

Friction in games is good to an extent, but when you are already punished for failing, you don't need additonal personal punishments on top of it, imo.

#

I read the guides but am still confused when I use shuriken storm and black powder in AOE playing Trickster. Am I right that you always use shadow strike as builder in shadow dance and only use BP when flawless form isn't up (or to get one extra Danse Macabre stack in dance)? Then you use shuriken storm as a builder outside of shadow dance on 2 or more targets?

hazy breach
#

That used to be the case, but then they severely buffed BP multiple times. Below is how it is right now

#

Outside of dance you always storm when theres 2 or more targets, and you BP when theres 5 or more targets'

#

For 5 or more targets you always want your dances to start exactly like this:
ShadowDance > ShadowStrike > SecretTechnique > ShurikenStorm > BlackPowder

#

And then the rest of the builders are strikes

#

But if theres 4 or less targets you just always strike + eviscerate

I feel like that message should be a bot command

Prob just tracking the number of stacks

#

If the numbers stay like they are currently i'd be very surprised if its worth to eviscerate outside of your dance to lose the stacks, atleast on singletarget

#

On aoe since we get way more finishers its probably still worth to BP, but it could just be a spread rupture angle, hard to tell exactly without sims

#

Having every eviscerate out of dance risk losing you a roughly 50% damage bonus to eviscerate and a ~100% damage bonus to sectech during dance seems not worth

#

(again, assuming the numbers stay and it works like you'd expect from reading the tooltip)

alpine wraith
#

yea the risk is high

chrome palm
alpine wraith
#

tbh i think the stacks take too long

alpine wraith
#

they should be like 15-20 at most

steel zinc
#

So we just afk in st?

alpine wraith
#

but now they are like 40-50

steel zinc
#

Just backstab and never do anything else?

alpine wraith
#

well not afk you pool to 14sht

#

but that takes longer than you think

steel zinc
#

Ok yeah but that is omega weird playstyle

alpine wraith
#

likely between refreshing rupture and getting to full cp and sht it takes more than the time between dances

steel zinc
#

Yeah but also we lose dances because not much cdr

small juniper
#

u can get teh same amount of cdr

#

unless u want to stack to 14 stacks of sht ofc

steel zinc
small juniper
#

ofc, still need some cdr tho unless its randomly worth getting less dances

#

im sure the smart ppl will figure it out

vestal escarp
#

presses finisher

#

very smart

steel zinc
#

Talking strictly st

small juniper
#

now they just have to give us shadow rupture as a talent

alpine wraith
#

i mean time between dances is not that long in the grand scheme

kind bluff
#

Make symbols give you a certain number of stacks on use and dance makes it so you can't lose them, would give synergy to lining up cds which is our goal as is.

#

But who knows what dir3ction it will go

hazy breach
#

You can refresh ruptures multiple times Surebud

#

Again no sims yet, but the numbers on the tier just seems so big it would feel kinda silly to go for a 15% chance to lose the equivalent of a flag for your burst window

fallow nimbus
#

Rupture everything then start rupturing everything again. This season could be the most degenerate one

random mason
#

Time to go ask the assa guys for tip on efficient nameplate setups huh

hazy breach
#

Its not much different from now tbf

#

Like i pulled up a random log here, and between 2:30 and 3:00 of kyveza he casted eviscerate twice

#

1 coup and 1 rupture

fallow nimbus
#

Not this rng stacking and losing stuff

deft rain
#

have you guys seen nimble flurry not showing up in logs?

hazy breach
#

No

jaunty heath
#

If adds get excluded

#

E.g first boss

#

Prob won’t have nimble flurry in logs

hazy breach
#

Oh ye fair enough

jaunty heath
#

Idk haven’t raided since then but that would be my explanation

deft rain
#

interesting that could be why

#

yeah thats definetly it thanks guys

#

did not know adds getting excluded was a thing on logs

steel zinc
#

I also assume you just spam rupture to get dance cdr

#

and just keep tier bonus alive for dance phases

#

if this stays sub will probably be the most burst class in the game

#

like total degen stuff

random mason

Which is kinda stupid

hazy breach
#

Well youre doing literally nothing outside dance

steel zinc
#

We do probably feelcraft 80% of our dps in dance

jaunty heath
#

To be fair man everyone hates backstabbing outside of cds but at the same time it’s not like you are outside of dance or sod a lot

#

I don’t feel like I backstab that much in the end

steel zinc
#

gloomblade did on my best log this raid 3.27%

#

compare that to melee stabbing its 3.44%

jaunty heath
#

It’s total dogshit I don’t think anybody is arguing that

#

What I’m saying is ur not stabbing as much as its made out to be

steel zinc

ya

#

also bs does 0 damage

like its obvs thats just their to get you cp

is the tier set already implemented into ptr sim?

funnily enough this might feel better tbh

but will be weird to get cdr via rupture only and not evis

although doesnt matter that much

just sub will be the only one to be able to control the rng

#

Bro that would be so nice

vestal escarp
#

gotta say that i'd rather we had the means to hard afk mid dances

#

and not this rupture thing

steel zinc
#

that is rupture

vestal escarp

because you're pretending to do nothing while pretending to do something

you're twice cringe for no reason

because we dont evis outside dances

tribal blade

this was one of those seasons where a LOT of people were adding to btag and i was getting spammed messages to play

that's literally triple the sectec dmg from the 4pc this tier

(if it even works with sectec)

but we have to play DS

which is cringe

hazy breach
#

Not necessarily

#

Big burst = big trickster

tribal blade
#

i really hope so

#

oh right trickster does have shifted damage into dance yeah

#

do you think this would alter coup rules

hazy breach
#

Idk depends on if coup counts as an eviscerate for 2p

tribal blade
#

surely it doesn't because it doesn't give snd

steel zinc
#

but nothing is working

#

so idk

hazy breach
#

Wdym

#

As in it doesnt get the bonus damage

#

Because nothing can reset the stacks

steel zinc
#

like it littarly doesnt work

#

if you press it my game crashes

hazy breach
#

The bonus amp from the 2p works on regular eviscerates atleast

steel zinc
#

every coup I use just get a critical game error

hazy breach
#

Idk dont remember if i checked coup

steel zinc
#

you think we use snd also as cdr?

hazy breach
#

No point to use snd if you can use rupture instead

steel zinc
#

because we dont press evis

hazy breach
#

Snd lasts like 1 minute

#

Should be dancing atleast once a minute

steel zinc
#

also would be delay cds until we reach stacks in the opener?

hazy breach
#

Idk prob just regular opener

#

Dont see why it would change

steel zinc
#

Ok

tribal blade
#

@hazy breach random question, in aoe when you send a naked sectec without symbols before cds come back up do you bother to stab twice to use the free UB procs

#

i usually stab twice but it feels like you turbo brick your energy doing it

hazy breach
#

Idk i usually wouldnt even bother with the sectech, but prob stab ye

#

Unseen does a fair bit

tribal blade
#

cool cool

hazy breach
#

I dont think it matters that much either way

#

Its mostly for the extra cp on ST you'd send that naked sectech

tribal blade
#

very true, i think it's just a mental thing not being able to fill gcds when that happens

alpine wraith

yea energy is not a plenty there

I’m at the point where I think sub rogue is viewed like the AH rework. No one wants to actually touch it since code wise it is held together by like four 20 year old pieces of thread.

Reminder when it was introduced there was nothing for it. Just secret. If I had to guess they tried to bandaid it in with time constraints based only the only shit visual they could quickly add.

Nearly all of sub rogues development changes feel reactionary to time constraints vs planned out

no one plays the spec. Attention not given due to play rate.

have you had a read through the guides available in #subtlety-faq ? Very well written with lots of tips and knowledge!

7 and 10 stacks of Winning Streak seems to be the most popular within opener, gonna do a couple hundred tests to hone in a bit

Also Azerokk in opener is ~28% atm

it says i have to pop Shadow blades aswell in aoe

whats generally better deathstalker or trickster

swift tinsel
#

Trickster generally

jaunty heath
#

deathstalker is like DoTs based more?

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

It hasn't been dropping, but I've mostly been testing how many stacks you can get in the opener this morning

#

also rupture ticks can add stacks

vale pine
#

both are very similar, deathstalker is a bit more suatined dps with more damage in black powder, rupture, etc

swift tinsel
#

for sub

vale pine
#

trickster is more burst

fallow nimbus
#

You should stop before you can't anymore. Ask hachadino about his highest crit kekw

swift tinsel
#

Lol there's no controlling for 2pc stack time

#

I'm purely at the whims of RNJesus

#

Had one cursed opener so far that stayed at 2 stacks for the full duration of flag/blades

#

I really wish the reset was in so I could see how often you drop stacks between main cd window and sectech at ~30sec

#

but atm it looks like you're chillin if youre going into cooldowns with 2-3 stacks (still ironing out percentages)

vale pine
#

randomness/gambling seems a core fantasy/idea of 11.1

swift tinsel
#

it goes against everything I like about having a relative sense of agency over my damage lol

mortal bane
#

This is just me thinking out loud but I wonder if sending one round of dance/symbols/SecTec bofore running into you main CD's might be worth it. You would almost be guaranteed 10 stacks and if done right you wont loose them either. Just a thought. Although not an appealing one.

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

most of those packs should have one

fallow nimbus
swift tinsel
#

the further you push past the 30 second mark, the more likely you are to run into boss mechanics

#

so delaying cd's doesn't sound appealing

fallow nimbus
#

If we really go for a no eviscerate use between dances then it could be worth it to prestack the 2pc with 1 dance if it doesn't cost a cd usage

swift tinsel
#

Considering its averaging ~22 seconds to full stack the 2pc in flag/blades I don't see it worth it to dance pre-cd's

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah, mechanics could fuck you up but every 5min sim isn't accounting for that

swift tinsel
#

bc then you also don't have double dance for flag/blades

#

which is a no-no

fallow nimbus
#

The big dmg of your cds is around 18 secs long

swift tinsel
#

how, blades is only 16 seconds

mortal bane
#

If you did one round of dance first you would still have double dance for blades and you could start your big CD's most likely around 15s into fight. This could be tested on PTR. If this is even close to the same damage as a normal opening this may be a thing once the shadow damage part of the tier works

fallow nimbus
#

You use blade after sectec and the strike before that can potentially proc hiddenblade

swift tinsel
#

just too much rng with the tier set in general, 13-26 second is the current range I've gotten from just the opener

#

from 0-10 stacks is something like 13-57 seconds playing normal st rotation

#

that's a massive range

#

do not like

uneven scarab
#

no

swift tinsel
#

Another issue I can foresee is losing stacks anyways bc you have to send finishers between pre-cd dance/etc and cd's to have sectech up

#

otherwise you're delaying flag/blades by 20+ seconds

sacred yarrow
#

i couldnt keep it away, I must press it to flush out cps dracthyr_cry

rocky ocean
#

use slice and dice

fallow nimbus
#

If you play like normal you 100% will have situations where you lose the stacks before your cds and your dmg tanks

#

That's why, once everything works, the tc's will cook

if we end up playing rupture/snd as only finishers outside dance I'm def not playing sub lol

if you don't wanna hard cast both

#

same keybind # either way

in general, macros don't really do a whole lot for sub gameplay wise

as far as regular rotation

so far dance pre-flag opener range is 6-54 seconds so its still super cursed

#

lmao

hazy breach
#

I mean its fine, not everything is about the opener

#

Theres more burst windows later

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, people were asking if it was worth to delay flag/blades in opener to try and game tier stacks

hazy breach
#

Maybe if you know exact fight timings and arent losing casts for it

#

But still probably not

swift tinsel
#

seems to stack decently well in cooldowns so having a couple of stacks would be fine going in, but not gamebreaking if you have zero outside of a few niche pulls

mortal bane
#

Thanks for checking out the pre dance flag idea. 54s is a long time. So now I back to thinking rupture/S&D between Dances. At least leading up to your flag/blades windows. Also am I reading the tier right. Basically 60% more damage with 10stacks? Well when they fix the shadow part.

swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being no evisc at ~15-20 seconds before flag, or similar to how we treat sectech currently

#

then you aren't wasting supercharger on rupture

#

bc you never sod without sectech

#

regular dances probably won't matter as much

#

you still add stacks from autos and rupture ticks so you're getting passive ones regularly

mortal bane
#

Well I am really hoping there is no weird rotation stuff. I currently like how sub plays at the moment. One questions. Assuming transmitter gets nerfed is using the two double on use trinkets going to be the way to go?

swift tinsel

Maybe the deck is fine for certain boss timings

But like for pure sim dps its prob just passives

and the obvious garbage meteor

loses value on any fight with frequent boss movement

the goon squad switch between st and aoe abilities depending on what you're fighting which is super cool

That rules

Even more excited for that dumb trinket now

there's a rogue who stabs and storms, big brute dude who does a whirlwind, and a sniper but I don't remember what their thing is in aoe

as it stands, theres about a 5% chance you have 10 stacks for 2nd sectech

more runs after lunch

Yeah, gonna keep going but I doubt it’ll be much higher with standard opener cooldown cadence

#

It’s interesting, you’re either getting 10 stacks 10-13 seconds or 22-25 seconds into combat

I don’t think there’s any instances in the 80 openers I’ve got so far that are anywhere between 13 and 20

swift tinsel
#

Which is a good way to lose a lot of damage

Also double SoD at one point so you lost a charge

Hit 610 and got to upgrades today from my brothers raid group. Feeling alot more confident this week. I got the rotations down now I feel like

#

😄

#

I got the haste/mastery boots that I was able to change into verse/mastery boots thankfully. And a verse mastery belt upgrade from vet to hero

#

Really glad I decided to get the rogue up during time walking

#

when's the ideal time to pick up transmitter?

#

right as you're about to hit your first sec tech?

hazy breach
#

Using it 5 seconds before your burst is gonna make it so you cant use two of those during cds

viral girder
#

Thats prob the main issue im having. Even though im consistently getting 800-900k DPS, im firing off a lot of blank secret Techniques.
Well not so much blank but without cold blade. I try to atleast do it when I have symbols/dance up

#

I figured "eh im getting cp up so fast to reset its cd i can afford to use it without cold blood every time"

swift tinsel
#

You don't cold blood every sectech so that's normal

tribal blade
#

yeah you don't really play around cold blood's cd

#

mostly

viral girder
#

So im doing fine then in that regard

swift tinsel
#

There's basically two ways to approach cold blood

#

you can macro it to sectech and it'll send whenever its off cooldown

viral girder
#

Thats what I do

swift tinsel
#

or you use it with the 2nd sectech in flag/blades

#

and time it around that

#

and only use it that way, unless you use it exactly on cooldown between flag windows

spark tusk
#

keep in mind using it doesn'tput it on cd

#

you can only activate it on the cd on the dot

swift tinsel
#

^

spark tusk
#

it gets consumed and the cd begins when you cast your next ability

swift tinsel
#

so its really tight

spark tusk
#

Though I guess because it gets consumed by any ability

#

it's not much of a deal

#

more of a deal for FB sin where the usage is only consumed by env

#

either way, I just have 2 sectec buttons, one with and one without cb

#

and I just press the normal one normally, then press the cb one for my second sectec in cds

swift tinsel
#

Same, its super easy to manage that way

spark tusk
#

It feels like during your cds your final sectec is your finale of sorts

#

so it makes sense to me that it's a separate button

#

like if it were an entirely separate ability that is only available at the end of your cds

swift tinsel
#

With s2 tier set you'll likely have 7-10 stacks of winning streak for your 2nd sectech in flag so its not ideal but still a big hit

#

more testing is putting a 10 stack 2nd sectech ~7% of openers

#

Mode is 10, next highest are 7/8 stacks

spark tusk
#

🫡 thank you for your service

#

Though I worry about compiling this data in the first wave

swift tinsel
#

its been fun lol I have my 2nd monitor with the spreadsheet and FMA side-by-side lol

spark tusk
#

who knows how much they change

swift tinsel
#

yeah, I'm gonna cap at 200 tests just to get a general baseline

spark tusk
#

are you just logging it?

swift tinsel
#

nah, logs are being weird for me so I have a /stopwatch and WA's to track streak! with conditions and checking what stack count is by the time cd's drop, as well as the timestamp when it hits 10 stacks

spark tusk
#

nice

swift tinsel
#

also throwing in Azerokk's trinket to see how often its up for opener, noting times when it procs on the posterior

spark tusk
#

seems like you've got a system down, lmk if you want help with making anything for WA tracking

swift tinsel
#

Will do! It's been kinda fun so I'm gonna keep doing it any time they drop a new build

spark tusk
#

Oh so 10 is most likely

#

by quite a bit too

#

Still obviously lower than 50%

swift tinsel
spark tusk
#

Well 10 is the most likely single occurance

#

but more % are under 10 in total

swift tinsel
#

Yeah its trending on the higher end which is nice

#

seeing 2-3 stacks from cd's is still concerning

#

but I'm thinking atm that 2-3 stacks going into cooldowns outside of the opener being a cozy stack count

spark tusk
#

I guess it makes sense statistically that 10 is highest

#

because it's the cap

#

So all the cases that would bell-curve it on the other side get stuck at 10

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I'm not surprised it's the highest single value

#

for sure

spark tusk
#

why isn't assa's bonus interesting like this one

#

assa in shambles

swift tinsel
#

The ultimate gamba no-payoff set

spark tusk
#

are yall ready to pool up for your FOUR SECONDS of glory?

#

of 2 mutilates and an envenom

swift tinsel
#

it is funny to see it consume while also keeping your stacks
