#

isn't it a timer loss to not chain even if you have an assa rogue

#

so even if your personal dps is lower, chain anyway

swift tinsel
#

bc you're probably taking something like Imp Shadow Techniques or Shadow Focus which aren't that good

keen dome
#

It'll add up and I think the estimate was you only needed it to be effectively used twice? three times? to be better than the other talents at that level.

lilac wharf
#

But outside if combat for 6 seems ridiculus

golden kelp
#

if you arent gonna send cds on a dying pack, I guess you could vanish/meld to get it going sooner. No idea if this is worth doing tho

swift tinsel
#

it's really not

lilac wharf
#

But probably this is the real answer

swift tinsel
keen dome
#

Pick a dungeon and I bet we can find some moments where it'd be up pretty consistently

#

It's quite surprising

golden kelp
swift tinsel
#

iirc vanish/meld doesn't start it sooner

lilac stag
#

Dawnbreaker was amazing for TFD

keen dome
#

Yeah

lilac wharf
swift tinsel
#

Oh yeah the fly time sets it up great

golden kelp
#

but thats also time you arent spending combo points so, probably not worth y

keen dome
#

Stonevault has some too. Mists has a few moments, too.

lilac stag
#

you get 2 restealths with TFD and it’s numerically worth it. We don’t do shit for dmg out of cds

lilac wharf
#

Thanks for clarification bois

keen dome
#

gritty gorge
#

Can anyone provide numbers (%) on how big of a loss it is to send CB into the first sec tech in CDs?

swift tinsel
#

0.6%

plush roost
#

Next season will have quite a few tfd applications, rookery first pull into out of combat flying. First boss into drop down out of combat. The jump between the second boss room and third boss into the water.

#

Thats just one dungeon

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

#

I imagine ToP has some, right? Fall down into the area below, running to each wing?

plush roost
#

Theatre has plenty

keen dome
#

high5

grand wyvern
#

would that give me permission to be a whiny bitch to my tank?

plush roost
#

Darkflame cleft after each boss basically

vestal escarp
#

this season too had a lot of instances where tfd was guaranteed

keen dome
#

Workshop between first room and fall down to the pipe packs, then between the stealth bit and packs before boss 3

plush roost
#

Ye

keen dome
#

Dunno how long the trip up to the final packs before boss 4 is but maybe there too

swift tinsel
#

Meadery has a fair amount too, should get solid value from pretty much all of them

plush roost
#

Floodgate doesn't really have many, but routing on that one is kindof a mixed bag rn

#

Priory also has very few

swift tinsel
#

for some reason workshop and de other side are blended in my mind

keen dome
#

Maybe for the pack before the final boss too

swift tinsel
#

yeah pre-last boss adds and between adds and boss start iirc

plush roost
#

Motherlode will depend on how much shit you decide to skip in it

swift tinsel
#

since she does that mini-rp

keen dome
#

Yeah, ML is the one I can think of any real good places. Maybe boss 1 -> next pack?

plush roost
#

First area trash is pretty bad value now

#

It may be big first pull with lust into skip to trash before first boss unironically

keen dome
#

Sounds like a fun time

plush roost
#

The last area of ML sucked

brisk onyx
#

What happened to eye of kezan? I see that fuu’s latest simc is almost the same as other combinations.

plush roost
#

You're in permanent combat

keen dome
plush roost
#

For some reason, maybe just ptr bygs

keen dome
#

All the trash sucks too

plush roost
#

Trash isnt as bad anymore

#

But you're in perma combat

#

Even if you're not fighting

keen dome
#

Bleh

plush roost
#

Really sad sin noises when i tried it the first time

#

Idk i did quite a few ptr keys, and all the dungeons were fine / great

#

Its gonna be a really good season i cant wait

keen dome
#

Same, I'm excited for it. I'm only a AotC / +10's but it seems like it'll be a lot better this season

plush roost
#

Yeah they took all the kicks, and shoved them into priory

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

#

Every other dungeon has like, 1-2 kicks every so often

Very nice

frail swift
#

are the changes for sub pog or no?

keen dome
#

Which change?

swift tinsel
#

we got nice bug fixes

#

the buffs were a bit contentious for those who prefer bigger burst and lower baseline damage, but probably healthier for the spec overall

#

since they nerfed the s2 4pc

i was doing big dam after learning some things yday

The dream of the 60M SecTec: Dead. But, it wasn't ever live, so it wasn't ever real..

will i do more dam when we go live

fierce cedar
#

did they fix the tier set yet?

#

Im sure this has already been asked but why RS instead of GB for ST, is it because of rupture buff? and I remember something about SF being shit, but I see it in wowhead recommended build not sure whats going on

swift tinsel
#

I think they're asking if trickster beats ds in st when 11.1 hits

#

with current gear

void ocean
#

i mean even if they r close i'll go with trickster just to practice more

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

I havent double checked but the trickster buffs were like 2.5-3%

#

And thats pretty much how far behind trickster was in the current tier

#

So if deathstalker is ahead it should be by an incredibly small margin, so why bother

swift tinsel
#

just simmed with my retail rogue in mimiron and trickster is ~.7% ahead in st

void ocean
#

gonna be Playful/Trickster from the get go 😄

hi, currently playing sub after a few expacs away, and i've a few questions.
Should secret technique be used outside of symbols/dance? if so, should i hold ST for any amount of time to line up with dance?

after our opener, should dance+symbols be used together until i'm unable to use them together? then keep on cd and hold as many stacks for flag+SB?

is coup de grace something i should track? If so, is it something that adds another stack to danse macabre and if so, is it worth playing around?

keen dome
wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

can't always use both when sectech comes up so you play it by ear

#

and you should track coup so you know when its available to make sure Fazed is on the target before casting it

hazy breach
#

Its better to be safe than sorry and hold it than to use it and screw up

#

You dont really play around coup that much no, it would mostly be to make sure youre using it in huge AoE pulls instead of BP whenever its up

#

I'd suggest to track it but not like front and center of your screen type thing

edgy zenith
# cunning turret hi, currently playing sub after a few expacs away, and i've a few questions. Sho...

sectech should almost always be used in symbols, very uncommon to send a natty sectech. think of using sectech with symbols, not dance.

use 2 sectechs, dances, and symbols each flag, fitting as many sectechs + symbols + dances as you can outside of flag window. it normally comes out to flag window > resend dance and symbols at 30s > resend dance and symbols at 45s > send ONLY symbols at 1:05ish with sectech > flag window

don't think about danse macabre ever. iirc coup does give another danse stack, but it doesn't matter, you don't play around it or think about it.

swift tinsel
#

coup counts as evisc so I'd be surprised if it grants danse unless its your first evisc in dance

Eye of Kezan update:

Just quick information because i got dm'd about this multiple times today.
The trinket implementation was updated in simulationcraft, it did incorrectly haste itself when it shouldn't and has some small bugs in the implementation. The trinket is still bis but now a lot closer to other trinkets and might not be the best option for mythic+, because its hard to keep the stacks high consistently.

I did re-run the !sheet trinket simulations while adding some more delve trinkets this morning, you can find the trinket simulation > Here <.

The trickster fazed anti-parry only applies to the rogue that applied it, correct? I keep seeing people say it makes it so no one gets parried but the way it reads doesn't imply that

swift tinsel
#

nope its your full group

#

super sneaky raid buff

hazy breach
#

Its for the entire raid yes, probably not intended to work that way

But thats how it works

swift tinsel

its balanced bc no 100% uptime

huh interesting, good to know

Couldve been fixed for 11.1, havent double checked

thx guys

basically there is transmitter and house of cards

and you will combine it with a more passive option

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

just confirmation since blizz hasn't dropped anything formal

vale pine
#

nice to have it confirmed from you then 👍

sinful zephyr
#

M0 will be on a weekly reset

vale pine
#

oh, so they move away from the daily reset introduced in 11.0?

swift tinsel
#

but yeah I'll check if the anti-parry is still raid-wide tonight

vale pine
#

nice, report back what you found

#

i am curios too, but i don't think it is a bug blizz is super aware of

full wyvern
#

Yeah if it still works, I'll prob switch to sub for the raid

vale pine
#

it was a big topic in s1, but ignored ever since

keen dome
#

I hope they convert it into a feature

vale pine
#

nobody talks about it^^

thick temple

so vers is more important than mastery this season? Should i treat it like last season where the ratio was like 80/10/10/5 or similar (vers, mas, crit, has)

  • only "big" rotational change is to finish with on 7+ (from 5+) on trickster
  • Trinkets become transmitter 2.0 (house or card) or transmitter 1.0 (the regular trinket) + passive/damage option
  • Embellishments stay 2x iris on low budget slots
  • Talents stay the same
  • Stats stay Mayters >= Versa > Crit > Haste

  • 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.
vale pine
clever delta
#

they were fixing major bugs within our class even hours after release of raid

vale pine
#

they did yes

#

e.g. if you remember the outlaw bug people lost their mind last xpac

#

the same bug was fixed the raid tier before during the wfr

#

and only re-introduced because of issues on blizz site when putting the ptr live (which did not include a lot of stuff)

upper plinth
#

In the 2nd CD window, after pressing flag, should i do an evis and after that SD + SoD + ST etc or skip evis and directly go to CDs?

steel zinc
vale pine
#

ye

steel zinc
#

Might do some delves first week

vale pine
#

especially because you can cloak it off

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

you ideally do delves every week because of vault

steel zinc
#

Is that in simc?

vale pine
#

no

shell willow
#

If the debuff is haste let it live anything else cloak

vale pine
#

sims don't cloak the debuff

alpine wraith
#

you also only cloak if it procs on flag

#

so even more hard to really sim

vale pine
#

but you can if it gives you mastery or vers deficits during cooldowns

steel zinc
vale pine
#

would not cloak it off outside of cooldowns

you don't need to, we can have these discussions in discord as well

its simialar to transmitter

#

!transmitter

wicked joltBOT
#

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

^ where eleem made a nice bot command to help with the use

#

its only a few trinkets that have special transactions like this

swift crest
#

on sin

vale pine
#

if you play sub

#

chances are high you will use transmitter for at least some weeks

#

in season 2

swift crest
#

transmitter is the least bad feeling on sub compared to other specs/classes iv used it on

#

for some reason idm it on sub

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

heard its way more annoying on dh

#

which i can imagine if you're playing inertia

steel zinc
swift crest
#

maybe cause sub just slams their cds

vale pine
#

but if you do so, you will use transmitter or cards with your cooldowns

#

and the other trinkets in between

#

so direct damage trinkets might be better than stat on use

#

or passive effects

steel zinc
vale pine
#

e.g. this seems to sim decently well

#

and is a direct damage trinket

#

as a 2nd trinket

steel zinc
#

Is that in sims?

vale pine
#

but most others are just passive

steel zinc
#

Lingering buffing the output of such trinkets

vale pine

its fire damage not shadow

im looking at guide cause i forgot how trickster m+ works and i kinda have to for next season

vale pine

nothing gameplay changing tho

steel zinc
#

I still think dungeon slice will be cooked with set.

#

Going with full first dance 10 stacks and cds into a new pack might be worth not pressing sth when a mob is low hp

vale pine
#

first thing we need to do is wait

#

and see if we got some surprises with the patch

#

if things are more stable, could see if we find some more small optimizations

steel zinc
#

I played like that on beta mob is under 10% hp I just rupture if cds and high stacks.

#

The aoe burst is imo insane

hazy breach
steel zinc

#

So even if nimble wasnt touched, the number of targets where you stop eviscerating moved by BP being tuned differently

wild hornet

yeah that makes full sense then

Just like storm

wild hornet
#

what kind of battlegrounds are you playing

#

that people are this stacked

#

besides on eye of the storm

steel zinc
#

Nimbles range is melee that's it right?

swift tinsel
#

spell data doesn't say but I wanna say its 7-8 also

wild hornet
#

is the reason of not using sstorm with premedation to avoid copo overcap on multi target?

swift tinsel
#

would have to double check

vale pine
#

nimble probably has the same problem BF has

#

that its slightly lower range than intended

swift tinsel
#

I know its not just melee range bc whenever I test wm flurry bug it hits further targets in org than that

vale pine
#

they at least in patchnotes did say they fixed that for BF, but i don't think it was ever fixed for nimble

#

i can test during the 11.1 week probably

#

not much to do anyways

I can check it after work too

Is the reason we secret tech as first gcd on opener to make sure secret technique gets enough cdr reduction to be up as the 2nd cast on 2nd dance?

so you coup faster to get mor flawless form stacks for 2nd sectech

  • 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.

Did sone 12-13 keys as sub … Gotta say its a very nice Playstyle

Sub best spec in the game

vale pine
#

most fun one for sure

lofty saffron
#

Just curious, what is the dps loss that comes with macroing CB with Sectech? A few percent over a fight? Smaller? Thanks

swift tinsel
#

0.6% iirc

keen dome
#

Pretty small, comfort reigns

lofty saffron
swift tinsel
#

unless you're going for more optimized play having them macro'd is totally fine

shell willow
#

@vale pine I might just be overcomplicating our cleave rotation but with the nimble change i basically just bp in our dance window for dance macrabe stacks and up to 7 targets im just hitting ss and eviscerate

vale pine
#

you bp on 7+ targets

rustic mortar
#

Outlaw is also fun when u in the „Flow“ But its missing burst .. sub feels Like 0,0 damage when no Dance is up that Kinda wild

vale pine
#

under it you just evis

#

and strike during dance

#

and storm outside

#

there is not much min/max outside of spreading ruptures

#

and if your flawless form drops

#

you use backstab

shell willow
#

yeah figured as much

vale pine
#

to proc it again

#

on 7+ you use strike in dance

#

but storm once as 2nd builder

shell willow
#

kk cool

vale pine
#

let me quick explain why

#

basically you play rotten (typically)

rugged condor
#

is there a minimum duration rupture needs to be on a target before it becomes worth to press over evisc?

shell willow
#

rotten on 2nd proc getting eaten

vale pine
#

and BP does have a shadow damage part if find weakness is up

void hound
#

@vale pine is nimble damage still bugged? did it go from 40% (or whatever the bugged amount was) to 60% now?

lofty saffron
vale pine
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
void hound
vale pine
hazy breach
keen dome
#

Mystery solved!

vale pine
#

the bug basically says that both rotten stacks will be consumed on a shuriken storm cast

#

so in order to play around the bug

#

you strike first

#

and storm second (both during shadow dance)

#

outside of dance you always storm

#

or well similar to before backstab for flawless

hazy breach
#

Last i checked it wasnt really worth backstabbing for flawless either anymore

#

Its like +0.1% or somerthing to do it

rugged condor
#

wait so if nimble flurry drops in keys you wouldnt backstab to get it again? im surprised

shell willow
#

How are you getting flawless without backstabbing though?

hazy breach
#

You dont

#

Until next dance

swift tinsel
#

I'd imagine flawless only matters in dance

#

and its guaranteed from sectech

shell willow
#

yeah true

hazy breach
#

But like, its up for the vast majority of the time

vale pine
#

the backstab is already something that does not happen much

granite river
#

So you’d BP in that scenario

hazy breach
#

You could ye, but like, it doesnt really matter

shell willow
#

lol burst window is all that matters

hazy breach
#

It happens so infrequently that its whatever

granite river
#

I see

swift tinsel
#

we cooldown gamers

granite river
#

Is there any reason to even track flawless form then?

alpine wraith
#

you can prep dances better too with that

#

stay at 3 unseen stacks

shell willow
#

coup regens pretty quickly and sectech gives two stacks iirc

#

i'll sit on it and send a BP or rupture if my dance window is coming up shortly otherwise i'm sending it

void ocean
#

heh sit on it 😄

vale pine
#

basically the damage outside of cooldowns is rly low

#

and we use spells at a lower pacing

alpine wraith
#

there is no reason to stab instead of storm so kinda staying at 3 if possible is kinda cool to have

#

so next dance is sec tech strike coup

#

big dick dmg

shell willow
#

well that lessens the cognitive load just storm and bp until dance window

#

spread ruptures

vale pine
#

ye

#

its easier

shell willow
#

lol I was doing all kind of shenanigans. I had a weak aura that indicated number count of enemy mobs so it would display an icon to bp or eviscerate

vale pine
#

ye should be quite easy now

#

just bo on 7+

#

and cba

full wyvern
#

I was actually curious what subs APM is and its like top 33% of specs it looks like. according to simulationcraft we're at 60 APM. Assa is 50 and Combat is top with 86 lol

hazy breach
#

The thing about sub is that we do practically nothing outside cds

topaz cipher
#

Idk what it’s like next season I didn’t do any PTR gaming. But even this season I really didn’t BP much. Every pack had a prio target

hazy breach
#

And tons of off-gcd buttons in cooldowns

topaz cipher
#

And played all my keys with an UH DK

clever delta
#

just play DS a BP for prio target

solemn creek
#

At 2 target boss (i.e council) we dont change anything?

turbid prairie
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

The only thing you change from pure ST at 2, 3, 4,5 or 6 targets is that we build with shuriken storm outside of shadow dance

#

instead of backstab

solemn creek
#

Shuriken at 2 target. I see

hexed dagger
#

where exactly are you guys pressing transmitter in the opener? I have it macrod to flag right now but if I need to go chase the orb sometimes I feel like the timing gets thrown off

solemn creek
#

Bp at 7 in s.d . And outside of dance spread rupture and whatever

hazy breach
#

No

#

BP always at 7+

solemn creek
#

Rupture>bp tho. ? No?

hazy breach
#

Well if you need to refresh it ye

solemn creek
#

Yaya. For refresh purpose

topaz cipher
solemn creek
#

Sry i was kinda vague

hazy breach
#

The mark is less problematic for sure

#

But its got some other sus stuff

wispy zephyr
#

if u have coup up outside of dance, do we send BP/ruptures just to get it in dance?

#

still

hazy breach
#

nah send coup

viral phoenix
solemn creek
#

With the recent buff to trickster. Is it safe to say trickster is ahead even in s.t? Or close enough

hazy breach
#

trickster st, like pin says

hexed dagger
topaz cipher
hazy breach
#

Theres some very cursed aoe tech as deathstalker

#

Where you actively try to avoid proccing darkest night

#

Because DN eviscerate does significantly less damage than BP on aoe

#

And its bugged so whenever the DN buff is up you dont get the mark damage, so you cant just ignore it

stoic flower
# hazy breach nah send coup

Oh sweet! So no more playing around coup? If SoD/SD were back in 25sec I’d just BP/rupture to preserve coup so I could hit it in SD window

Flawless lasts for most of the downtime anyway

But yes its technically better to bp when flawless isnt up

But the downtime is so short and infrequent that it practically doesnt matter

@hazy breach any data about thousands cuts buff?

do we have a compendium of cloak able and feint-able abilities for the raid yet?

aweful stuff

and for dungeons too

was there even one for last tier

someone said that everyone was to cba to do it

basically trial and error in the raid and dungeons but if someone already documented it not gonna reinvent the wheel

theres that will i live it or w/e its called website

Eventually

Maybe we're all just on a really big CD right now.

At least you weren't as delusional as some others who really thought we'd get away with not getting nerfed before the patch hit kekdog

Lol 30% dmg increase no copium here

lilac stag
#

we’re not even close to truly pumping

#

but idk. Eleem has copium

#

I’ll hold judgment until start

#

When they destroy transmitter

keen dome
#

Sub is going to be real good this tier, imo. Not meta, but very strong as it always is. Probably better in keys than S1.

hollow spear
#

I truly have no clue about relative class performance right now

keen dome
#

That's my gut feeling and guess, anyway

hazy breach
lilac stag
#

Dagger specs are bottom 30% of “st sims”

hollow spear
#

I only hear arms is pumping. And that mage is giga in keys.

hazy breach
#

But i think the burst we are doing is useful anyway

lilac stag
#

No doubt, just lack of ST is worrysome

hazy breach
#

Like we'll be helpful to the raid because the way we do damage, not because the damage we do is huge

lilac stag
#

always felt like the rogue niche

keen dome
#

There's multiple amp phases this tier, right?

hollow spear
#

Were st sims ever really that close to actual raid performance?

acoustic lodge
#

Niche, in what way?

keen dome
#

And a whole lot of cleave iirc, so that's nice.

lilac stag

so kinda whatever

2.56 and 2.52?

#

By our powers combined, we're 5m

uneven scarab
#

Just not sure which flavor to pick

hollow spear
#

Are other melee that far ahead?

uneven scarab
#

Its really just warrior

keen dome
#

I think Warrior is up around 2.9?

uneven scarab
#

Big outlier

hollow spear
#

Can't imagine them not getting clapped tbh

lilac stag
#

My fury warrior, 4 ilvl lower sims higher ST than my rogue with a queen aoe talent build

hollow spear
#

Warriors always on that high to get kicked in the balls last minute

uneven scarab
#

that 5% wasnt nearly enough

#

just gonna make them feel worse when they kick em again

hollow spear
#

Aye

lilac stag
#

the shit part is they flattened everything on fury and now capstones are useless

#

Arms as well, but arms is juiced execute and 2T as well

hollow spear
#

If they leave warrior as is, rwf will become quite hilarious

keen dome
#

I hope they do

#

Warrior tier, let's go

hollow spear
#

Which means after week 2, they're going to get gutted

lilac stag
#

All three mage specs are good

uneven scarab
#

I would be fine with that if they didnt also bring us down a notch while warrior is 800k above us kekdog

Both dk specs good

Hey, we got a 10% aura.

#

Maybe we'll get another

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

buff our whole kit 70%, call us black powder

lilac stag
#

that sounds racist

hollow spear
#

I'm still coping they'll do another round of balance changes

keen dome
#

Absolutely will imo

swift tinsel
#

(but don't buff black powder anymore)

keen dome
#

Will we get any? Who knows.

hollow spear
#

Not sure what data they'd base that on but

keen dome
#

But I am betting two whole gold on a big tuning pass on the 4th

swift tinsel
#

yeah they'll throw out half-cooked balance changes after the race

hollow spear
#

Hope dies last

lilac stag
#

we’re going to get a buff that offsets the destruction of transmitter. So net zero gain

#

and a BP buff

keen dome
#

And then probably another tuning pass on the 2/3rd week of the season

hollow spear
#

Transmitter is what keeps us alive rn haha

lilac stag
#

because deathstalker isn’t played.

swift tinsel
#

good, let it die

#

or they can buff it like precise cuts for outlaw so it looks cool but we don't take it

Hey mates, do we prep stuff before going into new pulls? Like Dumping CPs because we almost Always Start with Strike?

swift tinsel

people literally quit the spec over RS bug

they feel shame to have that many unfixed bugs, so they didnt document them and pretend they never existed

The shadow parts of rupture from replicating shadows was considered as a "finisher" for shadowcraft
