Zeross just exists in a vicious life cycle, turbo yap for 3 days and then he has to go back into hibernation to recover from his red bull vibrations

leaden prairie
#

hollow spear
#

Still thinking of maybe switching my rogue weakaura package before s2 hits

spark tusk
#

Honestly I don't know why it exists it's just so inconsequential it seems

spark tusk
#

Whipsyr took the APL lines out regarding pandemic

#

like who cares anymore it's just there to look pretty it doesn't inform you of doing anything

swift tinsel
#

wait so sin isn't sending envenom in the last second anymore

lilac stag

No

The only big brain in lingering

leaden prairie
#

i hate

#

that i had to take your thing

#

i try to keep code to a minimal

#

in my weak auras

#

and i was so mad when i found out

hollow spear
#

Using devlin rn, any really good packages specifically for sub?

leaden prairie
#

i couldnt track that thing with bars

#

without code

#

so now im hate using your weak aura

vale pine
#

you can technically ask weakauras to add functionality if its not in the baseline

spark tusk
spark tusk
#

Like the buff randomly changes duration and lacks some events firing, so I had to construct the event structure myself making it massively more complicated than it should be

slate lantern
leaden prairie
#

i think that sin thing is like unique

#

isnt it

spark tusk
#

Sin and Ironfur

#

And uh

#

what's the dk one

#

festermight?

swift tinsel
#

ye

leaden prairie
#

hm

swift tinsel
#

rolling stacks you mean

leaden prairie
#

ye idk if they would add that

spice saffron
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

with their own duration

leaden prairie
#

as a functionality

#

for something so niche

vale pine
spark tusk
#

I'd write it differently if I were to do it again, but only slightly, it's not too terrible once you get into it it just involves work

#

But I'm not doing it again

#

because it seems like nothing matters for sin

#

you just go andp ush buttons

ngl sub is acc quite fun now wtf

slate lantern
hazy breach
#

Theres no aoe build

#

So yes

swift tinsel
#

you can run the cleave build if you want its like 1 talent diff

#

but st is fine

spark tusk

lilac stag
vale pine
#

bring a sub rogue and remove parry from the encounter

alpine wraith
#

a very masochistic outlaw works too

#

god give you strenght if you enjoy trickster outlaw

swift tinsel
#

It's actually kinda fun

hollow spear
#

they should give killing spree a built in cloak of shadows

swift tinsel
#

I jokingly tried it out bc I was gonna be the only trickster outlaw logging s2

hollow spear
#

I'd totally play trickster outlaw then

swift tinsel
#

and it's kinda fun

lilac stag
#

run it for Zek.

#

all the sprees

swift tinsel
#

maybe for farm I'll send it lol

Hello ! Does putting Blades in the Trinket+Pot+Dance+Symbols macro instead of casting it right before Secret Technique make a huge difference ?

lilac stag
#

Yes

hollow spear
#

@alpine wraith why does the link to your spreadsheet still lead to "DF things ARCHIVE"?

swift tinsel
#

you lose a whole premed

night sparrow
#

Oh for the free full cp generation ?

#

Alright gotcha thx

alpine wraith
#

does it?

#

should link to the main page

hollow spear
#

Trinket+pot+dance+symbols macro? Is that a thing?

hollow spear
alpine wraith
#

let me fix that

tepid trellis
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
night sparrow
lilac stag
#

Opinion on what?

#

!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.
tiny sierra
#

!burst

hollow spear
#

you should press those buttons, but the general recommendation is not to macro

wicked joltBOT
#

During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.

we the anti macro spec

#

Subtlety Rogue Teaches Typing 2025

steel horizon
#

but pot+trinket+blades macro seems like it would be fine

lilac stag
#

It is, which is why it’s listed

night sparrow
#

I'd go on having a major CDs macro Pot/Trinket/Dance/Symbols BUT still having dedicated binds for Dance and Symbols separately, so total of 3. Seems fine isnt it ?

lilac stag
#

whatever makes you happy

spark tusk
#

Yes, if you combine them it's fine as long as you still have a separate standalone for each

lilac stag
#

If that macro does, then go for it

spark tusk
#

the point is that you need to be able to access them individually

lilac stag
#

It’s an extra bind

night sparrow
#

Alright I'm totally newbie to sub so was asking in case I was missing something

spark tusk
#

Problem with me and that is

#

If I macro it, I just get used to pressing the macro

#

and then when I should press the macro

#

I do

#

So I just don't and always keep them separate

night sparrow
#

It's just a fking shitshow to press 4 buttons at once while having to WASD at the same time tbf

alpine wraith
#

ok now should be fine

night sparrow
#

Understandable

alpine wraith
#

funny it did not let me delete the old one

hollow spear
#

haha

#

too popular

lilac stag
keen dome
#

And practice. It's a lot, but it'll come.

swift tinsel
#

also using your mouse more for movement helps free up left hand bandwidth

keen dome

Doesn't have to be perfect overnight. Just getting comfy and building on it is a good first step.

slate lantern
#

Binds are so funny cause everyone has their own system and everyone else's look fucking ridiculous

swift tinsel

the JPC binds

find what works for you

keen yew
#

see! i have st on f1 and sd on p it shouldn't be strange

hollow spear
#

jpc's binds were something else

swift tinsel
#

what the fuck P bind

keen dome
#

p?? How big are your hands. I'm in awe.

hardy snow

Evis and BP also cannot always beneft from the 4p. just tested.

swift tinsel
hardy snow

4p only works occasionally.

swift tinsel

swift tinsel

Shift on all those

I have blind on z.

bleak night

swift tinsel

G is comfy on my keyboard

bleak night
#

then modifier keys and mouse buttons

swift tinsel
#

2x mouse thumb buttons plus middle mouse

#

middle mouse stealth, shift+middle mouse is blades

keen yew
#

that's insane

#

i mean

#

impressive

swift tinsel
#

shift+R is my old sectech cb macro

hollow spear
swift tinsel
#

so I hit them simultaniously

steel horizon
#

im a g enjoyer as well

keen dome
#

I use G for shuriken toss

swift tinsel
#

its like Z and X are strafe

keen dome
keen yew
#

incredble ngl im so disabled i do not even use mouse buttons

dusty totem
swift tinsel
#

now I do R for naked and shift R for macro

slate lantern

#

the keys i use kinda

obtuse dirge
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

so I don't simul-press anymore now that macro is dead

steel horizon

sectec on 6!!

swift tinsel

~ is my extra action button

bleak night
#

thats my stealth key

spark cargo
#

Who TF is pushing 8!?

keen dome
#

I have my right hand on my keyboard so hitting keys is easy. Six can be hit with my pinkie

midnight geyser
#

wgats a guide i can use to min max sub?

bleak night
#

or dispel/soothe on other classes

swift tinsel
vale pine
swift tinsel
#

ohhh

slate lantern
swift tinsel
#

very interesting

bleak night
#

qwertz sounds more german

#

makes sense

spark cargo
#

Roast me

swift tinsel
#

didn't realize those would be swapped

keen yew
#

man bind your spells wft

bleak night
#

dude names his macros

midnight geyser
#

its not that bad acc

vale pine
#

tho not entirely sure if the layout i posted is even german

keen dome
#

10/10

spark cargo
#

Gotta have the boom macro, former 3 min mage

swift tinsel
#

Q is usually my big cooldowns but for sub it was SoD before flag or blades became what they are

chilly kite
#

thought i was the only one with sectek as boom lol

swift tinsel
#

so for sod/dance I hit Q and 3

#

1 bs/strike, 2 evisc, 3 dance, 4 step, 5 rupture

bleak night
#

r is normally where i put major cds

keen dome
#

I put Dance and SoD on R/Ctrl+R when I demacro'd them and it's so comfy.

swift tinsel
#

R is important ability that isn't spammed

shell willow
#

mousewheel up for major cds mousewheel down for utility/tricks

chilly kite
#

i'm prolly screwing myself, i macro'd sectek into the end ofa dance macro then have a sperate key for cb sectek

night sparrow
#

Am I a freak ? 🥸 🥸

swift tinsel
#

so it made sense for sectech

bleak night
#

ive been working on where to put sub cds though since they're a bit different than the other spec/classes i play

wheat edge
#

Moba players with Q as builder, R as big spender rise up

dusty totem
#

This is the only correct way to play sub...

spark cargo
#

I only have Dance + Thistle and SecTek with PvP on use

how many sectec do you need

F2 cheap shot

spark cargo
shell willow

swift tinsel
#

F3 distract

dusty totem
bleak night
#

i might try using F keys

swift tinsel
#

E kick, shift E focus kick

bleak night
#

F1-F3 i could probably use for things i dont press often

slate lantern
swift tinsel
#

shift 3 is focus set macro

hollow spear
bleak night
#

num keys are all mouse buttons

barren wren
#

Feint on 0

bleak night
#

also this is open world bars so random shit

dusty totem
keen yew
#

THIS

barren wren
#

Is eve crazier for me

shell willow
#

flag on 2 helps me rotationally i shadowstrike and flag then spender

swift tinsel
#

feint is shift-MB2

keen yew
#

it's O isn't it ?

#

not like it's much closer

keen dome
shell willow
#

so 1 - 2 - 3 or 1 -2 - Shft 1

bleak night
keen yew
#

ah no

what guiide can i use to minmax sub

hazy breach
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
bleak night
#

now i want to use fish as like

slate lantern
bleak night
#

a blades macro or something

dusty totem
swift tinsel
#

I used to use the fish icon for escalating blade

#

bc you're fishing for procs

keen dome
#

A long time ago in.. I wanna say WoD? I got bored and re-did all my abilities with different icons via macros.

swift tinsel
#

was normal icon until SnD aura was up

keen dome
#

There was a big problem in this though because I couldn't remember what-was-what.

swift tinsel
#

or the pvp way of macroing every single ability with a diff #showtooltip

#

so you have like six dances

#

six vanishes

valid vault
#

does nimble flurry work the same as blade flurry? like the aoe comes from your character model

hazy breach
#

Yes

slate lantern
#

ya

valid vault
#

nice ty

slate lantern
#

they stole it from us

swift tinsel
#

I'm gonna look into the radius of that again

slate lantern
#

so now we yap in their channel as punishment

swift tinsel
#

bc I wanna know lol

midnight geyser
#

wait

#

sub has

#

bf

keen dome
#

yeah

valid vault
#

im doing heroic as sub, got a crisp 34 parse on ulgrax

bleak night
#

sub takes everything good outlaw has

keen dome
#

but it's a buff proc instead of a button

midnight geyser
#

what da fuk

hazy breach
#

Theyre giving all specs BF nowadays you know

swift tinsel
#

yeah be more mad at sin for taking it first

bleak night
#

sub took dreadblades though

#

so still valid to hate

midnight geyser
#

my spec is slowly dying ComfyBear

keen dome
#

It trucks

midnight geyser
#

dude i fuckin loved dreadblades

swift tinsel
#

imagine if it flurried blades

stiff kiln
#

!sheet

midnight geyser
#

it had issues

wicked joltBOT
midnight geyser
#

but like

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

or wasn't reduced by armor

midnight geyser
swift tinsel
#

wait is it double reduced or does it take the damage value pre-mitigation

#

I should know this

#

just delete armor from all npcs

keen dome
#

Wait

#

that'd make Warriors super powerful

swift tinsel
#

antiquated since we don't use sunder or expose armor

keen dome
#

bring back sunder

swift tinsel
#

make them pay

bleak night
#

that would benefit outlaw

#

so dont do it

keen dome
#

Bring back sunder and give it to Outlaw

swift tinsel
#

nah they just get cratered harder

#

make ghostly strikes affect whole raid

#

there's a raid buff

dusty totem
midnight geyser
#

remmeber beginning of shadowlands

#

or df

#

the cdr raid buff

#

that never came out

#

that would of been fuckin nutty

swift tinsel
#

oh the raidwide restless blades?

midnight geyser
#

ye

swift tinsel
#

they should give that to sub tbh

bleak night
#

true

swift tinsel
#

raidwide deepening

alpine wraith
#

it was partywide

#

so it was going to be a bloodbath

#

same as when feral ALMOST got leader of the pack in pve

#

people were going to burn blizz hq

bleak night
#

outlaw enhance feral locked in to one party

#

every melee fighting for 2 spots

celest wyvern
#

sory for asking but when u wana use ur shadow dance midfight i mean when u are out of u burst rotation and Secret is on cd when u go to ur dance i mean for example when how many seconds left from secret technique u use ur dance sry my english not perfect

swift tinsel
#

you'd want to go into dance with secret technique either ready or with 10 seconds or less left on its cooldown

#

if you're using it with symbols of death

midnight geyser
#

!cd

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.

hoary bloom
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

Secret Technique is very important, so you use Dance and Symbols around it

celest wyvern
# midnight geyser !cd

so we have to hold our dance and symbol untill get 2 charges and then use shadowblades and flag even when we are midfight?

swift tinsel
#

but only use them if you can make sure you can have 2 Symbols, 2 Dance and 2 Secret Technique in flag

serene owl
#

do you not use black powder in m+ anymore is it just evisecerate for trickster

hazy breach
#

7 targets you bp

#

6 or less you evis

slate lantern
#

nimble flurry got buffed

swift tinsel
celest wyvern
swift tinsel
#

you stop casting Secret when Flag cooldown is under 20 seconds

swift tinsel
rotund obsidian
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

and Symbols having 1 ready and 1 with 10 seconds left on cooldown is safe

celest wyvern
#

as you know most of wa's are class specific is there any way to make them "spec" specific?

slate lantern
swift tinsel
#

Yes, load conditions can be set per spec

celest wyvern
#

u helped alot thank u very much i didnt play sub about 1 and half expansion so most of my questions answered

swift tinsel
#

good luck!!

midnight geyser
#

what do we do about bad energy in aoe

#

when we have tyo save sd and sod for flag/sb

hazy breach
#

Nothing

#

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

midnight geyser
#

also where am i getting cp from randomly?

#

i havent touched since s2 of df

hazy breach
#

Shadow Techniques (passive)

#

and/or shadowcraft (a talent)

shy scarab
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
midnight geyser
#

is there a way to predict

#

or is it ranodmo

alpine wraith
#

you can look at your autos and count them

#

then also check if you missed

#

every time

#

at least now the autos always come in pairs after dagger speed normalization

swift tinsel
#

there's a WA or two that should show if you really need to know

tulip gorge
#

look at the warcraft logs for the raid this week, sub is definitely getting nerfed omegalul

swift tinsel
#

we're tuned around s2 stuff

#

which we don't have yet

#

so we look bonkers

tulip gorge
#

you think blizzard is competent enough to actually do that?

#

because I have low expectations

slate lantern
#

KNEE jerk reactions incoming

swift tinsel
#

its almost like they tuned stuff on ptr with tier in mind and not in a vacuum

#

and will keep tuning once more gear is acquired

tulip gorge
#

and then they will see sub good in the first week

#

and do a knee jerk nerf

#

like they did with warrior

midnight geyser
#

so let me get sub gameplay right

everything is now cenetered around flag/sb burst windows instead of sd sectec on cd(s2 df)

i want to always go into those windows knowing ill have 2 uses of sod and sd during

everything after that is pretty much the same(cp generation, maintain rupture, overcap, etc etc)

#

!guides

wicked joltBOT
midnight geyser
#

are there strict rules on timing/when to hold so i have 2sd and sod? or is it situational and i gotta learn by feel

swift tinsel
#

SoD is pretty scripted bc of the fixed cooldown

#

Dance you can hold when flag is around 30seconds left but having skyfury makes a difference

#

Sectech typically hold when flag is 20sec left

#

cdr plays a role though

midnight geyser
#

yeah

#

windfury seesm big

swift tinsel
#

its very impactful bc of shadow techniques

midnight geyser
swift tinsel
#

with it, you can reliably send dance twice between major cooldown windows

midnight geyser
#

also why dont we play tea

#

bad pathing thru main tree?

swift tinsel
#

its not as good as cb

midnight geyser
#

i see

swift tinsel
#

people feelycraft it bc it gives energy between cd windows where our damage doesn't matter

midnight geyser
#

also, do any talents between m+, st and hybrid builds change rotation?

lilac stag
#

We don’t need energy in dance.

midnight geyser
#

id rather have big burst with cb

swift tinsel
#

but you lose guaranteed crits on all sectech hits

lilac stag
#

We don’t do dmg out of cds

swift tinsel
#

on 2nd sectech

#

where its super juiced

lilac stag
#

No point in having it

swift tinsel
#

The only realy rotation diff between st and m+ is bp at 7+ targets

midnight geyser
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

and you use 2nd charge of The Rotten with Shuriken Storm

#

to spread find weakness for bp

#

otherwise you just play single target rotation and make sure Flawless Form is up

midnight geyser
#

gotcha

#

and in dance

swift tinsel
#

In dance you only strike

midnight geyser
#

we still do smth like shurkien storm>evi>shadowstrike>sectec?

swift tinsel
#

bc it procs unseen blade

#

and storm doesn't

#

strike - sectech - storm - bp at 7+

#

then strike - bp

midnight geyser
#

interesting

#

what about dance macabre stacks

swift tinsel
#

strike does way more damage and procs unseen blade

midnight geyser
#

i remember those being really important for sectec back in f

swift tinsel
#

you don't play around danse anymore

midnight geyser
#

ahh

swift tinsel
#

its nice extra damage

midnight geyser
#

so i just shadowstrike spam

swift tinsel
#

but you don't play around it

midnight geyser
#

and make sure to use shurkiken once in aoe for the stack

swift tinsel
#

its for Find Weakness spread in aoe at 7+

#

so BP does extra damage with shadowed finishers (talent)

#

and bc The Rotten is bugged, you need to strike to consume the first stack and storm on the second

#

if you storm with first stack, it consumes both

midnight geyser
#

gotcha

#

one talent difference between aoe and st build

swift tinsel
#

essentially

midnight geyser
#

this spec is literally turning into outlaw

swift tinsel
#

switch shadow focus with improved shuriken storm

midnight geyser
#

ill take an easier barrier to entry, it seems more complicated/has had some sin/outlaw influence

#

which i like

#

old sub was pretty boring to me

swift tinsel
#

current sub takes a bit getting used to but once you get the core concepts down its pretty simple gameplay

#

and since we do so much of our damage inside of flag/blades, the things you do outside of it don't matter as much

#

as long as you're getting cdr

midnight geyser
#

yeah\

#

and saving s

#

d

#

thats gonnna be my issue 100%

swift tinsel
#

not everyone loves the energy economy outside of dance so that's a hurdle for some

midnight geyser
#

im not used to low enbergy and cd saving

#

i dont mind it honestly i think it makes it interesting

swift tinsel
#

yeah the more you practice the smoother it feels

midnight geyser
#

are we holdinmg cds in the new raid

#

or does everything line up nice

swift tinsel
#

not sure, haven't looked at any fights yet

midnight geyser
#

gotcha

#

adn last thing

swift tinsel
#

I think one boss has 2min vuln but idk if its good to hold stuff for 30sec

midnight geyser
#

yeah

#

am i supposed to be lining up my dance with sod outside of burst for better cdr

swift tinsel
#

you'll use sectech as the anchor point for those two

#

when its up or has 10sec left on its cooldown you can send

midnight geyser
#

gotcha

#

and vanish still do big backstab dam?

swift tinsel
#

bc supercharger will bring its cooldown down

#

eh

#

you vanish for premeditation

#

or to break roots if needed

#

you can skip it in your opener and not lose out

midnight geyser
#

and do we not need to cast snd

swift tinsel
#

nope

midnight geyser
#

shii

#

ight

swift tinsel
#

evisc grants SnD

midnight geyser
#

ty

swift tinsel
#

3 sec per cp

somber ether
#

you evisc in the opener then forget about it

swift tinsel
#

and they fixed coup to grant snd too

midnight geyser
#

ty

lucid jackal
#

Sub has never been more back

smoky vault
# lilac stag We don’t do dmg out of cds

And because of that I suggest not to overthink optimisation symbol + sectec between 0 to 25 sec waiting flag, before getting the feeling and muscle memory ready to take risks. Sub Plays like fire mage but with less burst ultime and so a biggest one. But THAT, is problematic to me : should actually get the same design but with daggers and shadow at mind to be more fluid and make the core spec interacting with big CDs

swift tinsel
smoky vault
#

Hah !

uneven scarab
alpine wraith
#

hmm

keen dome
#

Jazz patch for the Jazz (or Ska) spec. It's a match made.

swift tinsel
#

If the raid plays Reel Big Fish after a boss kill instead of the DMB sound I'm hooked for life

shy orbit

so when you guys get a mechanic, do you guys submit and accept that you will be losing your burst from flag etc?

swift tinsel
#

I tell the raid to deal with what happens

#

I don't move

#

jk jk depends on what it is

shy orbit
#

it just happened ot me on sikran and im sure theres like plenty of instances like that

keen dome
#

Yeah, sometimes it's just rip.

swift tinsel
#

sikran can int your sectech if you're not careful

shy orbit
#

int?

swift tinsel
#

if you get first charge

swift tinsel
#

if you do the quick opener it helps

keen dome
#

If a mechanic is coming up and I've got CD's for bust, I might delay a second or two to see if it goes on me or someone else (Ky'veza, for example) but sometimes you can't do anything and just have to accept you aren't parsing.

swift tinsel
#

or if its something I can cloak or vanish

keen dome
#

Playing mechanics is the more important thing, after all.

swift tinsel
#

mouseover shadowstep abuse also helps a lot of you need to get out and in quick

#

or vanish-strike teleport

#

another reason why I'm leaning towards not vanishing in the opener

shy orbit
#

what about when ads spawn for example, when youre sent under in bosses like bloodhound

#

is it a massive dmg boost to switch to the ads?

swift tinsel
#

depends

#

on if you're assigned to or not

#

we just kinda yolo some of that stuff

uneven scarab
#

I mean its not really a damage boost

#

Its just what does your raid need

#

Where do they need the damage

swift tinsel
#

if it lines up with 40sec sectech, cool

#

yeah I look at what timings line up and if it pays to delay 10-15 seconds its w/e

uneven scarab
#

Queen webs p1 is a good example

swift tinsel
#

oh yeah

#

we get good timing there

uneven scarab

you do this cause you are used to or you consider it better pull blades after sectec

cobalt veldt

question: why we use finishers only with 6 or more Combo Points? Is it because of Energy costs?

hollow spear
haughty mural
misty hare
#

Is it worth rupturing on big pulls? Thinking first pull of rookery or NW. If so, do you spread ruptures or all targets or just 1 rupture and proceed?

hazy breach
#

Yes you usually rupture everything that lives for like 10+ seconds outside of dance

#

but you dont really want to delay your cooldowns (ie flag/blades) for it

#

So rupture until the pack is gathered, then send CDs

slate lantern
#

Plus rupturing is a good way to wait for your tank to gather things before popping burst

#

Yeah what raichu said

whole abyss
#

Do you send the second shadow dance as soon as the first one is over?

misty hare
#

Ahh I didn't think about the rupture while gathering cool ty

swift tinsel
#

then you send 2nd Symbols when sectech has 10sec left on its cooldown

what if I told you

my side buttons

are bound

swift crest

3s better for binding to alt

hexed sluice

I have a 2 side button mouse, but those are bound to push to talk for discord, and push to talk for ingame voice on games that have it

u gotta bind em to modififers

ya really dont

swift crest

keen dome
#

You've just got to find what's comfortable for you.

There's no hard or fast rules about it. If it works, it works.

swift crest

binding side mouse buttons to modifiers is objectivly the best

warm veldt
#

drop the r.io and we'll listen cuh

hexed sluice
#

My keybindings are mostly also just hold over from my RTS keybindings, I also play league with WASD for camera movement

#

cause its comfy

swift tinsel

or you press shift and alt like a regular person and have mouse side buttons for other things

swift crest

oh u did 1000 keys last season timing like 15% of them?

warm veldt

no?

i pugged my way to 3.2k with like a 70% success rate. i imagine you had a higher score yet attempted tripple the amount of keys

I've played with people who click and still perform to a high level. if it works for you, the individual, then it's good. Everyone is going to do things differently.

no youre wrong it's capped

he said so

but raider io guys usally have little cliques

Talking about something that is highly subjective: it's objectively the best

#

Good talk 😄

solemn creek

This guys gets it

swift crest

binding 2 side buttons to shift and crtl or alt is objectively bis

keen dome

The g502 is cool but it's also useless because they never made a left-handed one so lol

swift crest
#

left handed mouse ionwut

warm veldt
#

guys what if the answer all along is simply adding two pedals to your desk and binding them to ctrl and shift

#

objectively the best

swift tinsel

I use blink modifiers

What keybinding does the hotdog go on?

swift tinsel

do not believe it

1 is easy to spam, 3 is easy to spam. 2 is awkward so therefore its for a finisher that is used spareingly or not at all

I was going to change off it for TWW but then I didn't and I've realized I don't really care too, my setup works haha

swift tinsel

I barely use W for moving anymore so my fingers felt cramped

swift crest
#

you put the easiest and comfiest to press binds on the abilites you press most

hexed sluice

1 = blast. 3 = missiles. 2= barrage. Timewarp was above ShiftR for easy mouse clicking center screen

!fuu

and with AD my middle finger can reach 1-3 easily

swift tinsel

so if I need to strafe I don't lose any key presses

hexed sluice

Shift R is feint, easy and comfy to press

swift crest
#

trinkets are 2 - 1 min cd

keen dome
#

But I have my setup backwards, so my right hand is in my keyboard and my left is mouse. So I have a lot more room for other keys (I.e, easily hitting R, G, H, T, etc)

hexed sluice

but E is harder to hit

scroll down must be on feint

scroll down is my focus kick
