2 3 or 4 times if needed

grand wyvern
#

they gonna nerf tier set and ds gonna sweep ahead of trickster

alpine wraith
#

nah they cant nerf tier set

tribal blade
#

is sin in an ok place after the buffs

alpine wraith
#

our baseline is super bad

#

what it is still like 200k behind

#

is that fine?

#

or maybe more

#

no new sims yet

tribal blade
#

sub has an issue of not doing enough cd damage to warrant the downtime

alpine wraith
#

our burst is kinda good

tribal blade
#

it's good for sure yeah

alpine wraith
#

but kinda is not enough if outside you are doing super noodle dmg

tribal blade
#

there's no way to really buff sub's damage outside cds

cloud rover
#

but in raid being on par or better

alpine wraith
#

one thing that people will notice fast is how harder sec tech hits now that it gets affected by blades for aoe burst

alpine wraith
#

or before

vestal escarp
#

no cd and limited to one cast?

alpine wraith
#

they buffed assa DS then DS again then DS again then assa

vestal escarp
#

yeah i know sorry, too much sense

cloud rover
alpine wraith
#

i dont even remember how many times DS got buffed by now

cloud rover
#

iirc

#

and same thing for S3 DF

alpine wraith
#

ah right now who knows

tribal blade
#

from what i heard sin was down so horrendously bad earlier that it was in the "reroll" category in kush's tier list

cloud rover
#

where Sin simmed low

#

but was absolutely blasting

alpine wraith
#

it didnt blast anything it just had rogue power of being decent because our baseline was decent from last tier

#

then flatlined when real specs got gear

#

tbh sub had the same thing apart from smolderon

brisk onyx
alpine wraith
#

they do like it a lot

cloud rover
alpine wraith
#

i dont building to 7 is so caner

#

and an auto crit evis is so boring

#

like really?

cloud rover
#

I like DN

i think both variants are correct

frank musk
#

Back to spamming rupture... great times.

smoky vault
#

Problem with sub is that "pooling energy or cp" could be a tactic near big CD but ... Shadow dance brings you full energy and CP really quick so ... No real davantage.

hazy breach
#

You can pool sht stacks

tribal blade
#

having high sht stacks going into cds feels really good

#

you get a lot of shadowcraft refunds

#

it's the same as getting really good rng during cds and being able to back to back to back finish

blazing brook
#

hello sub brothers

#

are you the last stand of rogues?

#

or are we all doomed

tribal blade
#

blizz is generally pretty good about tuning rogue for raid

#

M+ is a whole other issue

blazing brook
#

and if i dont care about raid besides clearing hc with pug?

#

eh well

clever delta
#

And they don't let assa be behind much

tribal blade
#

no need to be scared because there's going to be a LOT of tuning in the next upcoming month

#

like, a lot

#

a lot a lot

mighty citrus
#

i just think assa does not get punished so hard from few seconds downtime when playing a mechanic as sub for example

#

so it comes down to encounters

#

but ofc maybe iam wrong 😛

#

in my had cdr specs are always fucked when you need to play abilities

alpine wraith
#

we have a lot of wiggle room as sub

#

even more now that we have several charges of everything

clever delta
#

We already do lot of wiggling on queen or court

smoky vault
tribal blade
#

you think they're gonna design new things for rogue, you crazy

hazy breach
#

I mean you could buff rupture, or give he spec an aura buff but nerf tier/dark shadow/macabre etc

#

I suspect theyll just buff plague damage even more though garf_sit

tribal blade
#

"hm noone's playing DS again, better buff plague dmg by 50% again"

lilac stag
#

Just BP

#

Nothing else matters.

alpine wraith
#

deathstalkers mark already hits for 1.6m

#

with gear XD

#

another reason trickster is kinda better finisher buffs affects more things

#

DS is hunt them down and mark

clever delta
#

Man trisckter is so much more fun to play

#

But theme wise i like ds

hazy breach
#

Think most would agree with that

#

Deathstalker sounds cool but then you read it and its like "your auto attacks do plague damage"

alpine wraith
#

i mean deathstalker's mark is cool kinda

#

problem is things like fatal intent being a meme and hunt them down being so much of the power from the hero spec

sly shore
#

the problem is the mark being so inconsistent and buggy

#

and also for assa it's a fucking mess of a talent

alpine wraith
#

well people meant the idea behind the thematic

#

not the mechanics

#

in the end same as unseen blade everything would have been solved with 1 extra button

#

but it seems it is a sacrilege to even suggest people use more buttons

#

plenty of peoples handling explosives or heavy machinery losing fingers

molten citrus
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

proccing UB on storm when

slate marlin
#

theme is 10/10, playing around a bugged mark or with so much less cdr feels awful

vale pine
slate marlin
#

and playing ds without shaman buff is reason enough to enter a psych hospital

tribal blade
#

the worst part is this is the fixed version of DS

#

remember DS during beta

tribal blade
#

i dunno if they need to nerf skyfury and then accordingly tune/buff the specs that benefited from it

hazy breach
#

Its sub, sometimes arms and frost right?

tribal blade
#

sin as well gets a big bump i think

slate marlin
#

it feels easier to get x50 stacks on kingsbane with it

tribal blade
#

sin definitely benefits a lot, you just don't feel it while you're playing the same way as sub

#

or the other specs eleem mentioned

slate marlin
#

wish they made it 3% mastery and no hit chance

#

and then balance accordingly

tribal blade
#

but it's just ridiculous that you're SOL without a shammy as sub

lilac stag
#

nothing like sub

swift tinsel
#

Nerf skyfury, make snd buffed by mastery again

vale pine
#

snd was never buffed by mastery

swift tinsel
#

Yea it was

vale pine
#

but the idea was something we discussed

swift tinsel
#

Loooong time ago

vale pine
#

oh you mean before they re-introduced it

swift tinsel
#

Yeah the attack speed scaled

vale pine
#

fair

#

thats not bad

swift tinsel
#

Which would alleviate a skyfury nerf

frank musk
#

The day, the rogue buffs died....

swift tinsel
#

Or at least lessen dependence on it

brisk onyx
#

in WoD it does

#

maybe, or MoP

swift tinsel
#

Would probably have to sift through changelog to find when it stopped

#

I could see it being problematic with old shadow tech but with current it’s less so imo

alpine wraith
#

it was on wod

frank musk
#

The real problem to blizzard would be sub rogue getting played for 1% of the entire pop, instead of 0,8%.

#

That is how blizzard knows we became OP.

swift tinsel
#

I don’t think that would attract people to the spec alone lol

lilac stag
#

OP is when they have data to use on ptr/beta

frank musk
#

Nah that is the whole joke.

lilac stag
#

We ain’t there

frank musk
#

We dont exist.

swift tinsel
#

I need to find a ptr guild lol

lilac stag
#

People will play the spec when they can mouse wheel thier builder spender again in aoe

keen dome
#

Spin (mouse wheel) to win

#

make bladestorm tied to how fast you can spin your mouse wheel. More spins = more damage. Direct feedback.

frank musk
#

More broken mousewheels from overuse is good business.

keen dome
#

Slice and Dice buff tied directly to how much adadadadadadada you can do

frank musk
#

Shadowstrike tied to how good you are at cutting oranges on your own keyboard.

keen dome
#

Feint tied to how you can spin your chair around

frank musk
#

Evasion based on how often you can get away with not paying taxes.

keen dome
#

Vanish requires a webcam and you have to be out of sight of it

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Hahaha, yeah, good point

#

Distract tied to how quickly you can make trade chat change the topic

lilac stag
#

feint is literally feinting.

#

regain the energy while on the ground

#

just like goats

frank musk
#

Pickpocket tied to how often you can accurately datamine patchnotes.

keen dome
#

"Alright, did my burst. Night time"

#

Hahaha

keen dome
#

tricks of the trade actually just gives someone a buff to a crafting skill as it explains the tricks to that tradecraft

#

crimson vial is now a movement ability but only through walls.

frank musk
#

Tricks of the Trade's buff to a crafting skill will increase based on how often you ask people 'hows tricks'.

frank musk
keen dome
#

Oh yeah, I like that

frank musk
#

Kidney Shot will now give you extra profits in the 'Totally legal and safe organ transplant market'

keen dome
#

Sap just makes everyone miserable and opens some accursed software.

frank musk
#

It also makes Kidney Beans taste extra good.

frank musk
keen dome
#

I think we're cooking a pretty good Sub rework here.

frank musk
#

I think were putting in effort, despite the fact it would totally not be great gameplay.

#

xD

keen dome
#

Shadow Dance now just starts the rocky horror picture show "Let's do the timewarp again" and it's a 3 minute long channel of the entire song.

frank musk
#

Black Powder casts will credit you with inventing guns, your stocks in the arms market will go up by 0,1% with every successful cast.

frank musk
keen dome
#

IOooh, yeah, that's way better

frank musk
#

And everytime you die in pvp, you will get your ears destroyed with that song as if you are wearing ear plugs from the early 2000s.

#

Condition: must have shadow dance on CD when you die.

keen dome
#

Shadowy Duel starts a hearthstone match and the loser dies.

frank musk
#

Gloomblade will make your targets have crippling depression.

#

Secret Technique will make your target hear a random martial arts movie one liner at max volume.

keen dome
#

Oooh, hell yeah

frank musk
#

On crit, jackie chan will appear inside your house and round house kick you.

keen dome
#

Thankfully nobody plays Sub so he won't have to do it often

frank musk
#

Pressing stealth will force your opponent to contemplate death, debuffing their health for 10 seconds.

keen dome
#

"Just the wind."

frank musk
#

It must have been the wind. It was so cold my face started bleeding.

woeful rain
#

in ptr as trickster, we BP on +5 or??

#

+8 i mean

hollow spear
#

I'm surprised that trickster performs better than deathstalker in the s2 sims. Based on the tooltips, I thought the general sentiment was the opposite?

#

Not complaining of course, I like Trickster.

lilac stag
#

You thought wrong

#

Trickster is burst. Tier is burst. They compliment each other.

  • Why is the Cold Blood and Secret Technique macro not recommended anymore?
    When you macro these two together you often end up using it outside of your shadow blades window rather than inside of it, and since Subtlety gets so many damage modifiers inside its cooldowns its actually more damage use it only in Shadow Blades
    (yes, even if you end up losing casts of cold blood). Ideally you use it on your second Secret Technique as it will be buffed by more stacks of Flawless Form and have higher Flagellation stacks.
plush roost
#

Doesn't help that DS wants to use its marks, but 25~ seconds before flag you don't wanna press evis, so no DN unless u wanna gamble

#

Very cursed gameplay they've given us

swift tinsel
#

DS doesn’t hold the same as trickster

alpine wraith
#

as DS you cant even dance twice between cds

void hound
#

@hazy breach do i understand this correctly, we pool tier set stacks for our flag burst but not for dances inbetween?

alpine wraith
#

so that does not apply

plush roost
swift tinsel
#

Dances between flag windows are less important than flag windows

plush roost
#

I shall take this knowledge and continue to grief ptr keys

molten citrus
#

i think DS is fine for aoe

plush roost
#

Oh the talents have nothing to do with my griefing :^)

molten citrus
#

oh

lilac stag
#

Trickz has pvp cooked anything? Or is it all the same since just tier changing

void hound
vale pine
#

DS is fine, but the tier set benefits burst

molten citrus
#

there's been zero pvp testing basically

#

just dueling homies

leaden prairie
#

Fuck pvp

#

I like you trickz

#

But fuck pvp

void hound
#

fuck pvp

hazy breach
void hound
hazy breach
#

This way averages decent stacks in flag all the time, but its obviously still a bit random

vale pine
molten citrus
void hound
hazy breach
#

So if you have a really important burst coming up it could be viable to hold longer to absolutely make sure you have 10 stacks

molten citrus
void hound
molten citrus
hazy breach
#

But the "never use evis outside dance" led to too much lost damage

hazy breach
#

I imagine every single class has noticeably higher RNG this patch since the tier sets are themed around randomness

#

Havent double checked though

worn cape
#

Can't wait to read the guides for S2. garf_sit
It almost feels like a new spec.

void hound
#

i find the tier set pooling interesting, but im not looking forward to more rng

vale pine
#

there are not that many chanegs

void hound
#

also trickster being the way to go is great news

vale pine
#

as eleem wrote, most of the things stay the same

#

the main change is playing around the tier set

#

and you need to get the tier set for that ^^

ashen ibex
#

yes but is sub rogue meta? do i sell my house to go sub? do i equip 3 daggers 2 swords?

#

the party of pre-season is here

vale pine
#

3 daggers haha

crisp pond
#

sorry to disturb the current conversation, think transmitter will be needed in s2? trinkets in new raid seem meh at best

vale pine
#

transmitter got a slight nerf in the hotfix yesterday

#

it will still be good but you will replace it with mythic level trinkets

#

(house of cards)

crisp pond
#

i see, thanks sir!

vale pine
#

so its not needed, but still very good

leaden prairie

I'm at least glad we can replace transmitter, so tired of standing on the platform for 4 seconds waiting for the game to realize I'm on it

molten citrus
#

battlegrounds are kinda shit imo

leaden prairie

did the mastery buff and removal of hasted proc of Sus Energy Drink improve its ranking?

valid flame
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

But it doesnt matter really

#

Theres only 2 trinkets, Eye of Kezan and house of cards Surebud

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, just thinking as an intermediary

hazy breach
#

With current tuning that is

#

Its likely they change stuff

swift tinsel
#

I'm surprised they only hit transmitter with a 5%

haughty mural
#

hit it MOAR

hazy breach
#

Its a ~0.3% nerf

#

So now maxxed out house of cards is better than 639 transmitter sure

swift tinsel
#

Maybe they're soft nerfing now so they can add more % once raid is live and people can replace earlier

hazy breach
#

But not by much anyway

valid flame
#

Do you ever press shuriken storm in ST for DM stacks?

swift tinsel
#

well thats good at least, I always thought they'd prefer people replace prev season's myth gear with s2 heroic

valid flame
#

as trickster*

hazy breach
#

You dont as deathstalker either

valid flame
hazy breach
#

I dont think theres anything related to DM stacks left in the APL

#

So we dont play around it at all

swift tinsel
#

unless you're the guy trying to stack it to 12 all the time lol

hazy breach
#

Nvm theres using strike with premed+for danse stack for deathstalker

trinkets this season seem kinda easy ^^

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

hazy breach
#

Your trinket list is missing the new delve trinkets fuu

#

Most notably the energy drink one

vale pine
#

ohh

#

true

steel zinc
#

I think a couple a good delve trinkets are missing

slate marlin
#

Wait why finality>rotten?

vale pine

but transmitter ^^

swift tinsel
#

rotten beats finality 1/2 in dslice for me

#

but idr the % diff

#

I think its like 1%

keen dome
#

Combo points go in -> big sectecs come out (sometimes)

vale pine
#

@hazy breach is there a list somewhere for the new delve loot?

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

if you search for one on wowhead ptr it should show them down below the spelldata

vale pine
#

fair

swift tinsel
#

some of them look like overworld items too tho

swift tinsel
#

so its hard to say which ones are delve

steel zinc
#

Idk if it is worth farming delves for it

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

farming, probably not. taking as an alternative until you get eye or house? maybe

#

depends on what you have

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

its hero track on ptr so I'd like to think its from them

#

unless they messed with itemization

vale pine
#

so we have both covered

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

you don't do it for that specifically

#

delves are free hero track vault

#

plus extra crests

#

for early season shenanigans

vale pine
#

its not abd, but also not insane

swift tinsel
#

is that at 665?

steel zinc
vale pine
#

yes

#

max item level

steel zinc
#

I am pretty sure they might buff house of cards

#

Looks imo to weak

vale pine
#

surely

steel zinc
#

Like that the hc one beats mythic transmitter

#

Other classes also are continue wearing transmitter

#

Warrior dk dh pretty long

lilac stag
#

Maybe not after the 5% nerf

#

very few had it as good as sub with that thing

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

yeah. Drops ofc matter.

#

But also likely puts sub last on list for house

twilit phoenix
#

House of cards in first vault

#

It’s literally that easy

vale pine
#

its 0.5% behind

#

should be with hotfix data

#

but ye, transmitter is good

swift tinsel
#

its almost too good

lilac stag
vale pine
swift tinsel
#

yeah, strong stats on a 1.5min cd that lasts for blades

Nvm the vault dream is dead

#

for most people in here you’re waiting for dinar to go live

swift tinsel
#

I know I won't see a myth track one unless I pug it each week

#

will the dinar version go to 6/6 myth?

#

or have they not said anything

brisk onyx
#

delete transmitter to get qol

haughty mural
#

a bit more nerf to transmitter and another (maybe from dungeon) 1.5min trinket toi bridge the gap to house of cards would have been neat

mint swift

but it is what it is

!fuu

lilac stag
#

transmitter is fine. You’ll replace it eventually.

#

lol

swift tinsel
#

there's a handful of 1.5min dungeon trinkets but they're mostly just split damage on-use

lilac stag
#

one less thing to worry about.

#

ain’t no one wants to spam workshop 67 times for a heroic trinket

Normal transmitter probs gets replaced a bit early don't it, cause I've still not seen a heroic one and I doubt this last vault blesses me

We had apl improvements also sin tier set

They’re posted in assa

cyan lava
#

when do i want to complete my transmitter task as sub

#

is it on shadowblades cast

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

rightas youre about to sectech

vale pine
#

basically you can bind transmitter to flag

#

then try to complete the task as you go into dance/cast secret

mint swift
#

Fuu

#

Do you think sub has too many buttons atm

vale pine
#

vendeten

cyan lava
swift tinsel
#

should delete tornado then

cyan lava
#

i think they should remove flag

swift tinsel
#

NO

#

sh

cyan lava
#

its a bit redundant

mint swift
#

Make it give vers and mast

#

Like that one SL Lego

vale pine
#

i think sub has some redundant talents

swift tinsel
#

obedience

vale pine
#

i think snd should probably be passive

swift tinsel
#

would be nice without the CDR part

vale pine
#

but outside of that, button count seems fine

mint swift
#

Why don’t they just remove shadow dance and symbols and fuse them into one

cyan lava
#

i also think rupture feels extraneous for sub

swift tinsel
#

it does, should be nightblade again

cyan lava
#

its just a dot that like 2 talents interact with

swift tinsel
#

never forget

mint swift
#

I just have a problem with the CD amount

lilac stag
#

Play assa then

mint swift
#

And how you have to raw dog some of them at moments

mint swift
cyan lava
swift tinsel
#

in that case remove cdr from dance

lilac stag
#

stop trying to homogenize the specs please and thank you

sacred yarrow
mint swift
#

How dare I voice my opinion

#

My bad

lilac stag
#

and your opinion is make it assa like

#

which is a bad take

#

Assa already pilfered enough from both spec

swift tinsel
#

there's already too much crossover

#

they should give us execute to compensate in the form of edge of night

mint swift
mint swift
#

Bring back shadow dust too

lilac stag
#

mint swift
#

Everyone loved it

swift tinsel

"everyone"

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

no_dust why this exists

vale pine
#

you will never cast it unless

lilac stag
#

just one button. Having the ability to control cds is good. The CDR getting krangled is bad.

vale pine
#

lets say there is a specific tier set

#

you might cast snd

mint swift
vale pine
#

or rupture

#

instead

lilac stag
#

and I hate outlaw.

vale pine
#

e.g. if you now hold for the set stacks

#

the 20-25 seconds

lilac stag
#

Some specs aren’t for everyone.

vale pine
#

you migtht need to cast snd

#

because snd does only proc from the same things

#

you don't want to cast

#

during that time

#

dracthyr_kek lovely, isn't it

lilac stag
#

poor dust lost because of waaaaaaaah dust bad

mint swift
#

I mean people didn’t like it

#

So it got removed

lilac stag
#

no the krangled cds were the bad part. Not dust.

swift tinsel
#

^

lilac stag
#

it just got targeted by apes

swift tinsel
#

dust fixed broken spec aspects

lilac stag
#

Wah dust bad

mint swift
#

I mean

swift tinsel
#

once timings were figured out dust wasn't bad

mint swift
#

People said they disliked it

#

So blizzard removed it

lilac stag
#

dust wasn’t the problem

#

it was the easy target

swift tinsel
#

scapegoat if you will

mint swift
#

Never said it was, just said peoplesdisliked it

#

And when people dislike something bliz usually removes it

sacred yarrow
swift tinsel
#

"Everyone loved it"

mint swift
#

True

mint swift
mint swift
#

Ok?

lilac stag
#

seems like you targeted dust vs the problem.

mint swift
#

Saying you dislike something doesn’t mean it’s bad

sacred yarrow
#

snd has been cast for eons now, never was addressed, SB addressed in record time

lilac stag
#

so which is it?

mint swift
#

As you have been saying, it helped with the rotation when it was a thing

#

But I personally remember not enjoying it

#

And as I said

#

You can dislike something that isn’t bad

keen dome
#

Dust with the cooldowns we have right now would've been nice but also Dust was dumb and I disliked it for very valid and smart reasons (I'm bad).

#

I do really miss 1Dust Brew though. Absolutely my favourite M+ build ever for Sub

#

It felt so good to play

lilac stag
#

disliking something and not understanding why it was bad which is the case with subs root level problems and the dynamics dust offered and using it as this sucks it bad

haughty mural
#

tripple sectech trickster opener with dust was pretty ejoyable

keen dome
#

Yeah, it had it's moments.

mint swift
#

Yuh
But personally wasn’t for me

#

And I enjoy assassination more
Atm

glossy turtle
#

what are the conditions to use symbols+dance? is it just secret tech needs to be off cd?

keen dome
#

Dust with 3 SoD's would've been really interesting.

lilac stag
#

outlaw is bad because it flairs my fibro. I’m not gonna demand the spec get changed. I just won’t play it.

Sub is good on one boss with dust and the assa community decides delete dust because I’m forced to play sub.

swift tinsel
#

depending on flag's remaining cd

mint swift
#

It’s just me voicing what I would enjoy

glossy turtle
swift tinsel
#

I typically stop sending dance when flag has 40-45sec left on cd depending on cdr

#

in aoe you get more cdr so you can be a bit more liberal with it

glossy turtle
#

damn 40 sec

swift tinsel
#

hold sectech when flag <20sec

glossy turtle
#

you wanna cap dance and symbols then?

random hare
#

@hazy breach did sub tier get any changes last 2 days like sin?

swift tinsel
molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

if you're sitting on 1 dance charge and flag is ~45 I think its safe to send

molten citrus
#

you wouldn't sit 2 charges for that long ain't no way

swift tinsel
#

nah

molten citrus
#

yeah

glossy turtle
molten citrus
#

its to aim for 2 dances per flag

swift tinsel
#

if both charges of dance are on cooldown when flag is at 45 you should still be able to fit 2x in flag when its up

glossy turtle
#

nah and yeah monkahmm

swift tinsel
#

again, depending on cdr which in aoe is higher

glossy turtle
molten citrus
glossy turtle
#

so its not really a general rule to hold all dmg for 40 sec until you have flag?

swift tinsel
#

nope

#

it purely depends on how many charges of sod and dance you have available

vale pine
haughty mural
#

you can adjust depending on the situation

swift tinsel
#

^

vale pine
#

the last cooldown cycle (dance/symbols) before you get your flag ready

#

you just not using evis anymore

#

and instead spam rupture and snd if needed

#

hope that makes sense

#

or makes it easier to understand

molten citrus
#

he was asking about dance/symbols usage

swift tinsel
#

I think he's talking about just regular rotation in 11.0x

#

its kinda fluid

vale pine
#

cooldown use

swift tinsel
#

so you need to do a bit of adjusting

glossy turtle
#

yeah cause it seems like you kinda hold for a long time, but I dont really know what the conditions had to be like to use dance. and when not to

vale pine
#

you 2x dance 2x symbols 2x secret during flag

swift tinsel
#

dance cdr is kinda goofy so its hard to have any kind of set rules

#

and it changes from st to aoe

glossy turtle
#

ok I see, but when should you start getting aware

#

of having to gather stuff? is it at the 40 sec mark of flag?

swift tinsel
#

so the way I think of it

vale pine
#

and between the big cooldowns

swift tinsel
#

is I look at what my sod and dance cooldowns are and what I have ready

vale pine
#

you essentially align around secret techniques

swift tinsel
#

and you also align them around flag

glossy turtle
swift tinsel
#

cd of symbols is static

#

which is helpful

glossy turtle
#

sry I meant secret tech

#

dont know why I worte symbols -.-

swift tinsel
#

so you know as long as you have 1 charge ready and a 2nd with ~10-12 sec remaining on cd when flag is up, you're gonna be good

glossy turtle
#

ok 🙂

swift tinsel
#

sectech, symbols, shadowdance, shadowblades

#

there's an S theme lol

#

and with dance, I look at how many I have when flag's cd hits 45 seconds

glossy turtle
#

and for regular usage of dance, like non blades windows, I would only care if i have secret tech up, i assume

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

like people have said, sectech is the anchor for your dance and sod

glossy turtle
#

seems like a feel kinda thing

swift tinsel
#

between flag windows

#

it really is

#

sub benefits greatly from practice

#

like a lot

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

because of how variable it can feel

hazy breach
#

It generally doesnt matter that much. Main thing is to be sure to always have charges of dance and symbols for cds

#

!cds

wicked joltBOT
#

Cooldown Use:
Every 90 seconds you want to cast Flagellation and subsequently Shadow Blades. When these two are up you always want cast 2 Symbols of Death, 2 Shadow Dances and 2 Secret Techniques.
To ensure you have enough cooldown reduction on your Shadow Dance to attain that you need atleast 1 charge and roughly 40 seconds left on your second charge before casting Flagellation.

glossy turtle
#

ok I see 🙂

solemn creek
#

Spending time in ptr right now help a lot for the upcoming tier. Getting the reflex back

rose pond
#

with all the adjustments, is the sub still bugged? someone was saying the bug now makes sub do less than it should be

#

ah ok

#

i see it

glossy turtle
#

so at this point we just spead bleed and refresh bleeds?

swift tinsel
#

you can sod/sectech

glossy turtle
#

until dance ticks to 2, and then I send

#

true

#

although i dont really have my stuff binded like that. might need to get more keybinds

solemn creek
#

U need a lot of keybind for sub 😅

sacred yarrow
#

as opposed to what other classes

glossy turtle
#

enhance

solemn creek
#

On dh/enh i dont need as much

glossy turtle
#

feel like that is pretty chill

#

survival hunter

solemn creek
#

Even on sin. U dont need as many as for sub

crystal bone
#

with dh half my action bars are empty

#

with sub they are full minus 3 spots

glossy turtle
swift tinsel
#

correct

#

save Cb for 2nd sectech during flag

#

!cb

  • Why is the Cold Blood and Secret Technique macro not recommended anymore?
    When you macro these two together you often end up using it outside of your shadow blades window rather than inside of it, and since Subtlety gets so many damage modifiers inside its cooldowns its actually more damage use it only in Shadow Blades
    (yes, even if you end up losing casts of cold blood). Ideally you use it on your second Secret Technique as it will be buffed by more stacks of Flawless Form and have higher Flagellation stacks.
swift tinsel
#

dang that's gonna be handy lol

hazy breach
#

Idk sub has like 1 or 2 extra keybinds over assa, its not that much different

#

Unless youre going ham on macros for some reason ig

swift tinsel
#

I think I counted 13 essential sub binds

#

for dps

glossy turtle
#

I have dance/symbols macro, but making a symbols bind for it self, and then I have cold blood and Secret tech, where I am making a secret tech only button

mint swift
#

Do you guys think sub should have bleeds? Just curious

swift tinsel
#

personally no

crystal bone
#

rupture seems out of place honestly

swift tinsel
#

unless its changed to interact with our kit in a meaningful way

molten citrus
vale pine
swift tinsel
vale pine
#

i don't think removing/simplifying everyhing is good

#

if you want to remove buttons

swift tinsel
#

bc you need to send it directly as it comes up

vale pine
#

i think blades/flag could be one cooldown instead of two

swift tinsel
#

and if you don't it scuffs your flag cb

glossy turtle
#

do i want my CPS already built up when I send cds?

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

16

mint swift
#

Tbh I feel lethal poisons are weird on sub and out

fallow nimbus
#

20 both

swift tinsel
#

remove flag stacking?

#

or do 8+8

hazy breach
#

24 is too long, plenty of packs are dead in m+ by the time your cooldowns are done

molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

yeah

vale pine
#

rather have a shorter cooldown

#

so 16-20 secs

#

so agree with both eleem and valthan

swift tinsel
#

flagellated shadow blades

hazy breach
molten citrus
vale pine
#

the flagellation stacking is also kinda punishing, not sure i would keep that if i wanted to simplify the cooldowns

swift tinsel
#

I agree, I think the stacking portion is kinda useless

#

because its always with blades which stacks it very quickly

hazy breach
#

Technically you should try to line up so you can sectech immediately when cb is ready, but since every second you delay cb is a second you need to delay flag you have to be pretty on point with it

molten citrus
hazy breach
#

But sim strictly sends in blades

molten citrus
#

kyveza

molten citrus
glossy turtle
#

is SoD off gcd 🙂

fallow nimbus
#

Time for 30sec cd cb

molten citrus
glossy turtle
#

it is, right?=

grand wyvern
swift tinsel
#

just make cb baked into sectech either in blades or in dance

#

or sectech is like chaos bolt

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

always crits, crit % increases crit dmg

grand wyvern
#

always crit is boring, its like not critting ever

vale pine
#

cold blood is actually nice

#

it removes variance

#

but its annoying if you can't macro it

mint swift
#

What about lukewarm blood

glossy turtle
#

is it not possible to make a macro that uses only symbols and then hits secret tech? I tried making it, but it doesnt pop symbols. if its off gcd where is the issue?

frank musk
mint swift
#

If that happens you need to see a doctor

frank musk
#

Wrong, my target does.

molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

you sometimes hit it when sectech cd is =< 10sec

vale pine
#

you can technically use symbols before secret comes off cd

glossy turtle
molten citrus
#

like the macro should FUNCTION, yes

#

but not necessarily optimal

glossy turtle
#

its not though XD

vale pine
#

as long as you use one of the superachrger points on it

glossy turtle
swift tinsel
#

is BP 8 yards or 10 like storm

molten citrus

you would symbols-dance

the rest is up to cp

when 4 set buffs the next finisher

you always want to supercharger tech

hazy breach

thinking about it too hard i think

#

!macros

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
