what's the loss if you never gambled and maintained 10 stacks throughout the whole fight, only pressing rupture outside of dance lol

keen dome
#

I've only been able to get a normal one so I'm going to exist in a blessed position of just getting a HoC

lilac stag
#

Tell me you haven’t played sub and realize just how little we do outside of your go without telling me.

hardy snow
#

then why tier provides the extra stack during dance then? i'd swap it for extra 2% shadow damage

uneven scarab
lilac stag
rocky wolf
#

so the new tier sets have a bit of RNG to them are variences any higher than usual? i assume most likely not if they are tuned properly

lilac stag
#

like wtf

clever delta
#

and two shit trinkets being our second best option is cringe as fuck too

lilac stag
#

Are you really being this dense and wanting to die on “my evicerates” hill?

clever delta
#

jesus fuck actually mad

hardy snow
open vortex
lilac stag
#

Others can’t

#

Rejoice

swift tinsel
#

Right, WW straight up loses its stacks once they hit 10

lilac stag
#

Or just play assa

hardy snow
#

oh, sin's talking a different story with 4% chance to lose stacks

swift tinsel
#

with zero chance of preserving them

lilac stag
#

you clearly don’t enjoy the spec.

hardy snow
#

and other specs have mechanism like losing but gaining something 10s

vale pine
#

panic?

lilac stag
#

And that’s ok

swift tinsel
#

Dave isn't for everyone

bleak night
#

if i just stopped playing things i dont enjoy then what would i complain about

#

that doesnt sound right

swift tinsel
#

true and actually

clever delta
#

neck options not so cool either

tepid trellis
#

dont ask me, you were the one who said that

swift tinsel
#

Can go crafted neck

#

if you really want

tepid trellis
#

i just told you we have control of not letting it drop

alpine wraith
#

yea crafted neck is safe

hardy snow
# tepid trellis dont ask me, you were the one who said that

but you dont have the control of generating, and we need to generate it here or there. and the ultimate solution for not letting it drop becomes an endless rupt at the end of pull or at the beginning of a pull.
that's great, and you love this control, don't you?

swift tinsel
#

It's a tiny tradeoff for a large gain

uneven scarab
#

^

hollow snow
#

Bro just hit eviscerate ffs it's fine

hardy snow
hollow snow
#

You do you

swift tinsel
#

having control of both generation and loss of stacks removes all of the gambling aspect of it

#

which is antithetical to design

#

and I would MUCH rather have control over the loss than the gaining of stacks

#

because you can play around that in a more meaningful way

hardy snow
uneven scarab
#

Then dont play sub

swift tinsel
#

that's fine, you can think that

tepid trellis
swift tinsel
#

but you'd be in the minority

uneven scarab
#

because it doesnt work that way

hollow snow
#

Just play bm hunter then

#

Bind kill command to spacebar

lilac stag
#

BM the other 30% tierset, but with a much higher base spec dmg profile

clever delta
#

make me wonder why m+ build play rotten meanwhile st dont

swift tinsel
#

FW spread

lilac stag
#

for FW

clever delta
#

would make me thing that finality stronger in aoe

#

oo

swift tinsel
#

nah you need FW to enable BP

lilac stag
#

you need FW for BP

clever delta
#

very smart

swift tinsel
#

without the FW/SF boost to its damage isn't not as strong

hardy snow
# swift tinsel that's fine, you can think that

i'd like to see 5 stacks gain every dance and lose it whenever they like after dance. tuning the numbers as well. so the game play proceed normally. i do rupt when rupt is applied. i do bp/evis when they are needed. simple.

uneven scarab
#

Just play unholy then

swift tinsel
#

^

#

that's literally unholy tier set

uneven scarab
#

They gain max stacks when the use cd’s

#

Yep

#

Cant tell you why it’s different for us but it is and its what we got

hollow snow
#

Dark transformation I think

lilac stag
#

i like watching netflix between cds

hardy snow
#

so they believe unholy deserve a solid control of gain due to they're relying on cd but sub dont'?

hollow snow
#

My guy bring it up with realz

swift tinsel
#

Its a different spec

hollow snow
#

Not us

swift tinsel
#

hence variety

lilac stag
#

you're quite funny thinking they look at sub for more then 10 minutes a ptr cycle

swift tinsel
#

if everything played exactly the same, whats the point

#

^

clever delta
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

my guess is the tier set dev has zero clue how sub plays and realz has a slim chance of knowing the deeper bugs

#

it be what it be

hardy snow
#

if you already say we don't do damage out of dance anyway, then it means the gain from tier should come to the dance and cds.
and we dont generate solidly for that. instead we need to behave silly and perserve for next pull.
what would unholy think if they can only control not dropping stacks instead of solidly gainning them?

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

but he cant just drop everything he is assigned to fix bugs that maybe others are assigned to fix the backlog on

lilac stag
#

ofc

#

havoc more important

hollow snow
#

He's on his DH arc tbh

swift tinsel
#

they're more purple than us

#

look at their healthbars

hollow snow
#

Tru

tepid trellis
#

at the end of the day he has superiors telling him what to focus on

lilac stag
#

but i joke

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

we're not played, i wouldn't assign resources to us

#

i get it

keen dome
#

I would

#

Entire divison just to rogue

swift tinsel

I'll straight up venmo a rogue dev for attention

uneven scarab
#

It truly is very likely they just dont know how we play

alpine wraith
#

time to becone major shareholders of microsoft

swift tinsel

or have a roundtable

Do you consider coup de grace (sp?) when thinking about when to hit shadow dance/symbols?

alpine wraith
#

hold my amphora

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
uneven scarab
#

we can finally kill aug

#

also

alpine wraith
#

dont think we have the means

swift tinsel

need to seize the means

alpine wraith
#

unless we hook that arab prince

uneven scarab
#

We got zeross

alpine wraith

uneven scarab

#

so if you have it you send it, if not you ST

uneven scarab
#

We’re sub rogues after all

tepid trellis
open vortex
#

ye, cause it gives flawless form stacks which gives more finisher dmg so you have bigger sectec dammy

lilac stag
#

Sub has a long history of finding the most krangled way of pulling out dps from the spec going against how it was likely intended.

uneven scarab
lilac stag
#

and how it was intended rarely works due to spaghetti code

swift tinsel
#

It definitely comes across that there isn't a unified view of how sub should function on the development end

tepid trellis
#

well that also happens from our side as well

swift tinsel
#

so we're stuck with the krangle

#

true

"farm this content for 2 weeks to upgrade your tier set bonus, you can upgrade it 4 times, each time adding a 25% chance of the tier set interaction to work"

swift tinsel

omg the last part hahaha

lilac stag
#

what’s the gamba percent on it breaking further when upgrading it?

swift tinsel
#

depends on subscriber tier

#

ultra platinum subscribers have 100% chance to break other people's tier sets to make yours look better

vale pine
#

jokes aside lets hope for some bugfixes

lilac stag
#

the ring should have stole other peoples tier set stacks and not stats.

keen dome
#

Gave me a new trinket idea. It's a slot machine. You activate the trinket and like transmitter, it spawns something: a slot machine. You then have to go over to it, use it. It'll roll and if get a buff depending on the jackpot. It takes 5 seconds to roll the numbers. Jackpot is a massive buff. But you can also just roll nothing and get no buff.

just make the macro and change the icon for comfort 😛

just fyi coup de grace for some unholy reasons (means spaghetti coding) does multiple hits and not one

Did tier set get changed for the tier set gameplay pin

nope

half comet

I dont remember reading it is why im asking

nothing changes

swift tinsel

coup still per-hit

#

no other bugfixes I've found so far besides snd thing

vale pine
#

season 2 is very mild in gameplay canges

#

it comes down to conserving your tier stacks for big burst

#

essentially all ther is to season 2

#

the rest is bussiness as usual

swift tinsel

nice lil qol change

went through most of the trickster bugs from eleem's sheet but didn't find any other fixes

same with tier and dn/marks

idk if it not interacting with blades is a bug tho because its a separate spell from flurry'd spells

unless it did at one point and interaction was broken/removed

I really like sub in raid but not really in keys, I feel like a freak

swift tinsel

its def a different beast in m+

uneven scarab

If u can get a tank friend and teach them your cd’s it’s brilliant

swift tinsel
#

^^

#

if they pull around your burst cooldowns its lovely

random comet
#

Yeah maybe it’s that

uneven scarab
#

It definitely is

#

If they pull big right after you use everything

#

Its awful

random comet
#

Been mostly pugging and find myself doing zdps half the time and to the moon the other half

swift tinsel
#

that's sub

#

lol

uneven scarab
#

Truuu

random comet
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

when you don't have cd's you just kinda chill and throw out ruptures

random comet
#

Which is fine if you know what to expect and can plan

swift tinsel
#

kidney here, kick there

random comet
#

But pugging landscape is…not it

swift tinsel
#

pugging this season was rough for sure

random comet
#

At least not in the keys I’m doing haha

#

Certainly a different vibe from my usual outlaw enjoyment

swift tinsel
#

Sub's kinda mysterious to a lot of people which doesn't help

#

people that know, know

#

and those that don't have zero clue what sub does lol

random comet
#

I last played it in DF S2 and 3 and it feels pretty different

#

But that was kinda BP spam

swift tinsel
#

there's a bit more nuance to it now, especially if you play trickster

#

well, DS too but miss me with that bs

random comet
#

DS is locked in when I play assass

swift tinsel
#

Deathstalker is pretty divisive for sub

random comet
#

So that’s enough of that

swift tinsel
#

some folks dig the playstyle, others think its way too slow and cumbersome

#

I personally think current trickster sub is one of the most fun iterations the spec has had

random comet
#

It’s nice, I like to play all 3 specs and each one having a different preferred hero tree feels like I can get a bit of everything

#

But I’ve definitely played the least of sub this season

@vale pine is there any s2 trinket list I can copy pls? (Wann sim on my own) ty

swift tinsel
#

in tc

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

there's a trinket section

vale pine
#

someone earlier today reminded me to add the energy drink trinket from the new delve, so that one is missing but i added it to my local list

steel zinc
vale pine
#

if you open the file, you see the list is human readable, i did design it that way

#

you can just replace item levels

#

ilevel=xxx is at the end of each line

steel zinc
#

665 is hc right?

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

#

max hero track

steel zinc
#

And 652 is champion?

vale pine
#

hmm if that would be in the file too

steel zinc

Is the "tier vs. no tier" number % comparison based on S2 tier vs. 639 S1 tier, or equivalent ilvl S2 gear that isn't tier? Wondering at what points to replace 4 and 2 piece from S1

swift tinsel
molten citrus
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

so there is a bit of a item level diffrence too thats not considered

molten citrus
vale pine
#

for sub yes

molten citrus
#

but i don't know the exact numbers for the comparisons

vale pine
#

for assassiantion its very close, we might run 2p2p

#

welll

steel zinc
vale pine
#

s2 sub 4 bonus is 30% dps

molten citrus
vale pine
#

yes

woeful fulcrum
#

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification

molten citrus
#

but 2p2p won't be bis for assa, at least going off whispyr's newer numbers

alpine wraith
#

sub is full on lfr mode for tier

#

no remorse

#

speedrun it

molten citrus
#

yeah

uneven scarab
#

Yeah literally need it asap

vale pine
vale pine
#

but just shows how absurdly strong the bonus is

bleak night
#

maybe a dumb question, but is backstab in dance not a thing anymore

vale pine
#

basically the new 4p is at minimum twice as good as the old one

uneven scarab
#

we dont play around dm stacks

vale pine
bleak night
#

shows how long its been since i played sub

#

ok ty

molten citrus
#

so assa might run 2p2p until a certain ilvl breakpoint, no idea personally just happened to see that earlier

vale pine
#

i did not re-run it

#

so fair

#

(again, can do tomorrow or so)

  • 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
#

must be saving tier fixes for monday

#

jk jk

#

maybe

bleak night
#

so based on that command am i right in thinking this graphic is out of date, and to move that cb to the second sec tec in opener?

swift tinsel
#

eh, for the general playerbase its kinda fine

#

people that wanna optimize more can go for 2nd cb tech

bleak night
#

sure, but i do intend to get back into mythic raiding this tier so i'd prefer to learn the better optimizations

swift tinsel
#

the general player base never sees mythic so its not necessarily intended for you

lilac stag
#

First step. Learn what cds we have. kekw

bleak night
#

i cant be blamed

#

i tried to do my homework

molten citrus
lilac stag
#

It’s not purple never was.

#

do you CB only for that 2nd dance in flag?

swift tinsel
steel zinc
#

Wdym without tier? So when the patch goes live with current gear we just afk before our burst window?

molten citrus
#

unless u were talking about sub bug specifically

swift tinsel
#

only one from both builds today has been coup now giving slice and dice duration

#

yeah

bleak night
#

is it more optimal to move that cb to second sec tec

I like to check for stealthfixes since we literally never get notes on the ones they've fixed

Yes its a minor gain

but its a .6% optimization iirc

ive done worse for less

Waiting for it to be higher than .6 with new tier

we do not do the new rotation until we have the new 4 set

i was just confused a bit by the dissonance between the command and the graphic, but knowing the reason behind it is good enough

swift tinsel
#

ah, yeah the command is more for the folks seeking out those optimizations

steel zinc
molten citrus
# steel zinc ok that pin was just confusing me a bit.

yeah he's just pointing out that sub is already very slow during that time before Flag, so swapping 3-4 eviscerates for ruptures really doesn't feel that bad. just pointing it out because a lot of people have been saying "we're going to spam rupture?! LUL"

steel zinc
#

ty for clearfiying ❤️

vale pine
#

you essentially can do so for a bit of dps gain

#

but if you do so, you need to not bind secret with cold blood

bleak night
#

yeah makes sense

vale pine
#

so mostly depends on how far you min/max

#

and how much comfort you want to trade off

left ledge
#

One step ahead of the game kinda brain rot

vale pine
#

as mentioned earlier, i did some changes for the guide for 11.1 and will probably still review it in the comming days

#

which goes life next week

swift tinsel
#

you can realistically keep the macro but you need to have a naked sectech bind

#

and only use the macro for 2nd

bleak night
#

will have to see how it feels when im practicing and decide then

#

or just use the macro until im comfortable with sub again then try for more optimization

#

anyway thanks for help

wicked joltBOT
#

During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends, despite Secret Technique not being ready.
Secret Technique will come up during the second dance, and you want to make sure that it will be supercharged. To do this hold onto Symbols of Death and use it when Secret Technique
has 10s or less left of its cooldown.
This is why a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.

I've never had luck with cast sequence macros, for some reason the reset doesn't always trigger right for me. Maybe user error but I've just had them be very unreliable.

it's actually wild that BP is more prio than evis at a point

"Rogues aren't casting Eviscerate enough, lets buff it so that BP is their only finisher in all scenarios"

Each hit of BP now removes a stack of the tier set

luckily arena is only 3 targets so it's still not even on our action bars 🥲

BP now quadrouble dips on tier set

if you press evisc or rupture it casts BP instead

Just give us crackshot from outlaw

Casts a bp at half effectiveness whenever u press evisc

what'd you macro together?

lilac stag

Imagine not spamming

bleak night

thats a dealbreaker

#

if i dont press the key 20 times during the gcd it doesnt do as much damage

swift tinsel
#

same with ADADADADADAD

fallow nimbus
#

yeah but i rather have 1 key i don't spam than to separate a thing that should be baseline when activating dance

#

until blizz nerfs fire eater's vial

#

also purple smoke fits(sometimes it's green)

other option would be to switch around hotkeys i played with for too long

Hell yeah, purple smoke

Fire eaters vial is cool ive been macroing it into my cooldowns forever

jade urchin

is there a minimal amount of stacks to keep or is it rupture regardless of stacks

1 click for cb less sectec, spam for cb. so you can even cb in first dance if you play some low lvl m+ and mobs die before you reach 2nd dance or something

trying to find out what SEO "optimization" got added to the guides

so i can add some extra paragraphs nobody reads

jade urchin
tulip gorge
#

btw what is the difference in dps between doing the rupture thing vs just using eviscerate?

swift tinsel
#

1%

#

in favor of rupture <25

#

but it also depends on if there are damage amp phases coming up

tulip gorge
#

well that's not a big deal if you screw up

fallow nimbus
#

i set the reset to 15, but if we ever fire sectec every 15 sec then we have other problems. 10 works to but casts more toys

swift tinsel
#

which you would absolutely want to preserve stacks for

upper narwhal
#

1% on average, remember tho if you gamble and hit it big your dps goes up!

swift tinsel
#

or in m+ if a pack is winding down

#

you'd wanna perserve for next pack

lilac stag
#

Gamba on 2 stacks vs 10. That’s a bigger swing

Fuu let me know if you want a proof reader

question, why are we going RS on single target? Just better than any other option like TFD?

It's a dps gain and doesn't int cp refunds anymore

I'll run RS vs TFD quick

vale pine

we asked him to implement something to evaluate it better

swift tinsel
#

TFD and RS are effectively equal until 5min where RS wins by .4%

#

like 1k diff at 2min and 500 diff at 3min in favor of TFD

uneven scarab
#

That’s kinda insane

#

Rs kinda poopy

swift tinsel
#

Yeah could use some love

#

(or rework rupture to be interesting)

keen dome
#

SecTec spreads rupture

#

bam

swift tinsel
#

or detonates it

uneven scarab
#

I would really like to see some synergy with it somewhere

#

oooh

swift tinsel
#

I've always been a fan of primer-detonator effects like Anthem

uneven scarab
#

Should be like the stacking wither thing that locks have rn

#

sectech adds a stack to rupture/increases its damage or tick rate or somethint

swift tinsel
#

is that the stacking-collapsing dot mechanic?

uneven scarab
#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

Having it get ramping/stacking damage per finisher that hits it would be kinda sick

#

if balanced properly

#

"finishers above 5cp"

#

so we don't send 1cp bp's

keen dome
#

Setting up ruptures on pull and then BLAM

uneven scarab
#

Detonating it would be sick though

#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

right, would be super satisfying

#

change it to a little bomb

#

and bp amps the bomb or sets it off

keen dome
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

that way its not too derivative of wildfire bomb

#

even tho they lost Infusion

keen dome
#

Change rutpure to something like Void Impale or something. We shove a void essence into the enemy

#

then SecTec detonates it

swift tinsel
#

Then its not just a maintenance dot that we literally don't care about

#

BP adds stacks, sectech detonates

#

some mix of something like that

#

we're a finisher spec, having our finishers interact would be awesome fantasy

#

I'd be all-in so hard if they did

#

if it's in cool ways

keen dome
#

I'm not sure how it'd work in raid, but having it basically be like: more combies spent = more stacks. SecTec detonates. So you'd set up stuff for explosions during amp

uneven scarab
#

Yeah im just still surprised to this day rupture has literally 0 synergies

Just curious, but is TFD being accounted for as always available or partially available in the dungeon slice sims?

(It currently sims much lower than it should from my experience)

lilac stag
#

Dslice is more for gearing options

uneven scarab
#

Yeah tbh im not sure how its even setup for dslice

tepid trellis
#

last i checked its not implemented good in sims

uneven scarab
#

I imagine its just set a certain number of procs over the course of the sim

tepid trellis
#

but its something thats beeing worked on getting added for dslice

swift tinsel
#

I can imagine it'd be a bit of a mess to implement

lilac stag

Dslice just looks to get stealth.

uneven scarab

such a fun design space to explore

Let us put Kyveza lines on enemies

helllll yeah

#

I wouldn't hate a shadow-themed Blade Rush

#

like her dash

#

or strike teleport is a blade-rush

#

so you can position for better dam

keen dome
#

Another idea: Ethereal Blade. Wehn an enemy has (rupture or w/e) and you use a finisher, it causes an ethereal shadow to strike them for x. Finishers on finshers

#

ethereals in etherals

I'm on board

Void Cyclone: Summon a whirling vortex of the void on a targetted ground marker. Which is just a static placeable shuriken storm but it LOOKS COOl

sub doesnt use storm in dance windows, even on 8+ targets, this is what i know. But what about window without dance? Backstab>storm still, even on multi?

vale pine
timber walrus
#

ye, for danse stack

vale pine
#

yep

swift tinsel
#

well, with rotten to spread find weakness too

vale pine
#

without dance, you always storm

#

well

#

unless you have no flawless form

swift tinsel
#

true

vale pine
#

then you might throw in one or two backstabs

#

to get it back up

#

if that makes sense

timber walrus
#

so, with flawless, backstab will do more dmg because of nimble flurry than storm

flint sundial
molten citrus
#

you backstab once or twice to get flawless form back up

#

or the other way

random comet
#

wha

limber folio

the pin

random comet
#

no, means the value of the 2pce bonus + the 4pce bonus

vale pine
#

you can't mix sets

limber folio
#

aha

vale pine
#

there are only 5 tier set slots

#

so you can only have one set at the time

limber folio
#

yeye

vale pine
#

if you look at my sheet you will see 2p + 4p

#

because people got very confused when i only had one of them mentioned

limber folio
#

which tier was it that you could run 2p+4p tho

#

was it legion

vale pine
#

because "4p" for many could mean "only the 4 set bonus"

#

while logically you would know you can't have 4p without 2p

#

but having this format is a lot easier to understand

limber folio
#

aight

random comet
#

i think legion had 6 tier slots? maybe 8?

limber folio
#

6 i thought

#

you had boots?

hazy breach
#

Yes they made it 6 because of legendaries

limber folio
#

or idk which other piece

yes legion had 6 slots

It was cloak

open vortex
#

is it a gain to pot in your second set of cds

#

since you should have more tier set stacks

#

or kinda w/e

hazy breach
#

it was pretty neutral when i checked in simc

#

Obv assuming you dont lose a cast

#

Since sim always has BL on first

open vortex
#

ye

#

gotcha ty

hazy breach
#

And yeah we dont benefit that much from BL as other classes do, but its still more damage

swift tinsel
random comet
#

yes i mean just as a clarification since people are still saying sub set is "bugged"

jaunty heath
#

I mean if it’s intended that secret tech hits sometimes don’t work with the 4p then someone should get fired

vale pine
#

it is likely not intended

#

like many things

#

the beauty tho is, blizz can decide whats intended and not

keen dome
vale pine
#

because only they know what their design idea is

swift tinsel
#

thanks! customized them myself

vale pine
#

i noticed this when playing other games

#

and having devs state "people often don't see bugs, but when i watch a stream i see a lot of them"

swift tinsel
#

red rings are 1-7 ShT and a second set of gold rings is 8-14 so I know a reset is coming in sod

vale pine
#

but these bugs often are things you can't know without knowing the intention of a interaction

swift tinsel
#

also have the backgrounds set to turn blue with lower alpha for supercharged cp's

vale pine
#

so its not a bug for the player

#

but for the dev

swift tinsel
#

donuts

vale pine
#

looks fancy

#

but i don't like the blur

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I'd rather they be more defined circles

#

that's one of the fixes I'd like to make to it

vale pine
#

i like my weakaura set atm

#

tho i think i need some tweaks if i have time

swift tinsel
#

my ptr one is a bit more frankestein-y

#

I usually spend the weekend before patch drop (this weekend) doing updates for the new tier

#

I do like the color diff for the corresponding ShT stacks so I can tell at a very quick glance if I'm likely to get a refund

Premed still works on other builders

molten citrus
#

yeah

hazy breach
#

Its more a case of it doesnt matter in the sim

#

For results

#

So we didnt bother adding 2 conditions to the apl and make it more complicated just to "fix it"

proper latch
#

Inability to properly track Unseen Blade is driving me insane

hazy breach
#

Why

proper latch
#

Probably should not use WA that tries to predict reset

#

Because for some reason I always try to enter SD window with 3 stacks so I can use Supercharger on giga Evis

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter if you supercharge the coup or a regular eviscerate

#

The combo points scale linearly

proper latch
#

But mah cdr and dmg

wintry vapor
#

Evening guys, sub seems to be best rogue spec for upcoming season? Appreciated 🙏

hazy breach
#

Like say evis is doing 100 damage per combo point. Coup does 1200 damage, 1500 with supercharger so it gets 300 extra.
A regular eviscerate does 700 and then 1000 with supercharger, so it gets 300 extra

proper latch
#

Also I've been watching your vods Eleem and sometimes you use CB for Coup

molten citrus
#

you get the same amount of CDR regardless, no?

proper latch
#

Maybe just a mistake idk

What are the main differences between deathstalker and trickster? Unsure what tree to pick..

You don't have separate hotkeys for macroed SecTec ana naked SecTec?

Well if i press the naked sectech when im supposed to press the cb one

#

It doesnt matter how its done

molten citrus
proper latch
hazy breach
#

But those keys are from a while ago, ive gotten more used to the cb stuff now

#

No

#

You get +3 cdr from supercharger either way

#

It doesnt matter if you use them on a regular evis or a coup

molten citrus
hazy breach
#

You get the same amount of damage and cdr regardless

proper latch
#

Oh...

hazy breach
#

Like 7+3 and 12 is the same as 7 and 12+3

proper latch
#

That makes my life easier, ty

hazy breach
#

Its 22 either way

proper latch
#

Also if SB works on SecTec in 11.1 should we just press SD + SoD + SB?

hazy breach
#

No, the main reason you delay is to use premed

wheat elk
hazy breach
#

yes

wheat elk
#

ty

molten citrus
#

Or do both have a delay between dance/sod

hazy breach
#

Huh

#

I was mostly talking about the blades

#

for the others

#

!burst

wicked joltBOT
#

During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends, despite Secret Technique not being ready.
Secret Technique will come up during the second dance, and you want to make sure that it will be supercharged. To do this hold onto Symbols of Death and use it when Secret Technique
has 10s or less left of its cooldown.
This is why a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.

hazy breach
#

Obviously you could just macro it if you want, but its not ideal

honest saddle
#

I just want to confirm what I think is optimal.
I have two keybinds for sec tech. One is with CB and one is without.

On opener and during each flag window, I use my non CB on my first press, and on my second I press my CB Sec Tech macro. I know this is optimal.

It has occured to me that since shadow blades is supposed to be used after the first secret tech lands, and since I use a seperate CB for this only during flag window that I can just macro blades to this key.

Does anyone see an issue with this?

molten citrus
#

I didn’t mean macroing, just the CD usage in the opener

#

Like is moving blades up to get the first Tech in it worth or nah

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter

#

As long as its after youve used premed

#

The phys sectech hit does about the same as an eviscerate does anyway

molten citrus

Rn it still is for deathstalker on aoe

#

And its fine next patch for either, sims very slightly below standard build on ST

sudden bison
#

what about m+

#

for deathstalker u gotta keep prio-ing 1 mob right?

honest saddle
#

yes if you dont you wont get stacks

#

and stacks = big dam

#

when you finish at max combo points with darkest night

molten citrus
#

You don’t use darkest night in aoe

honest saddle
#

he still needs to know that it exists for bosses

molten citrus
#

Ofc

honest saddle
#

and it still depends on the pack size

#

or is it just bp at 2

hazy breach

At 5 or more you dont use darkest night during dance
