Unfortunately

you can, its no damage diffrence, the opener on wowhead is just simpler

wild hornet
#

Or at least i havent seen him

molten citrus
# wild hornet No

ah, yeah i've been wondering because i haven't seen him in the raid

weary crag
#

I use vanish for a quick 6cp evis

when i need to get my dance quick

is there a reason why shuriken storm won't always generate a combo point?

#

Any thoughts on pacemaker? Doesnt seem to line up that well with CDs half the time, but still sims well?

vale pine
#

so can just get one of the delve trinkets on heroic, kezan, or one of the other options

#

you can't rly go wrong with your 2nd slot this seaosns most trinkets are equally good (or bad, depending on how you look at it)

i just found out i'm 1 of 2 people with the lowest loot score in my entire raid team

tribal blade
vale pine
#

i think i am mostly fucked again this tier

tribal blade
#

how come?

small spruce
#

Back to back garbage ball when cds coming back up😢

vale pine
#

because we keep using the same tier set distribution strategy, and we had one tier set drop for rogue token

tribal blade
#

daaamn

vale pine
#

basically, my assumption is that tier set drops are somewhat dependent on classes in the raid

#

because, for 3 seasons now

tribal blade
#

it seems rng

vale pine
#

we get close to no tokens on the classes which are least presented in the raid

#

which is the rogue token

umbral topaz
tribal blade
#

for my team this tier is the first time in several tiers where a lot of the rogue token has been dropping

#

but yeah the past few tiers we've gotten barely any rogue tokens

vale pine
#

out strategy for loot distribution, my gf and other officers think is the one everyone gets the best outcome the fastest

#

is to give people 2p/4p priority

#

means, the tokens with a lot of players, which typically drop a lot

#

also get the "free for all tokens" at the end boss

#

instead of us trying to average it out by giving the tokens to people who had no drop so far or tokens we haven't seen drop

#

it means i might see my first tier set from raid week 3 or 4

tribal blade
#

damn that blows

vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug we don't raid that competitively (we start mythic a bit later than the hardcore players)

#

so all it does is create a temporary power imbalance between the ones who got tier faster and the ones who need to wait for others to get their 2p/4p done before omni tokens are distributed to them

#

and this is fairly opinionated.

#

because other officers do like this way of distribution.

tribal blade
#

making sure you have fair loot distribution seems so incredibly complicated

vale pine
#

haha ye

#

the one we have is the most fair, we usually look to have gear evenly distributed so everybody gets something

umbral topaz
#

Fuck PvP trinket sims as a 5.5% loss for my current gear feelscryman

vale pine
#

if anyone wants to sim the pvp trinket

#

#trinket1=prized_gladiators_badge_of_ferocity,id=229780,ilevel=658

#

can copy/paste this below in top gear

umbral topaz
#

Only a 1.5% loss with that and changing pacemaker to another trinket i have 😮😮 even tho i have mythic transmitter
Fuck in doing PvP

#

Anyone who has 4/5. Do you wait with shadow dance to specific stacks to keep them up high like outlaw roll the bones buff

limpid sage
#

How much of a dps increase is the cold blood 2nd secret technique optimization?

frozen gyro
#

Or do you use shadow dance regardless of winning streak

vale pine
#

it is kind of the same as the one in tc-research just does not require you to copy trinkets together

#

^^

wet idol
#

We have 2 monks, 1 rogue and 1 warr in a a 15 raid party and still no token, so I think its rng idk

#

hey guys, in your opinion who has the best rogue WA package? im using luxthos atm but when i use SoD / SD the number on the spell its not super clear if its active or the cooldown for another charge and it gets a little confusing. I was hoping for a package that clearly shows that its active or not active

#

Whispyrs afenars edit is the best one imo but its all preference

vale pine
#

it is just the list i copied together for the sheet

keen dome

#

it includes the pvp trinket, transmitter and such

#

so a one copy/pasta for trinkets

oh yea i figured - sorry for the dumb question

Theres no dumb questions Okay

hey guys, quick question:
did some of you experience the bug that Coup de Grace is not coming out and u character keeps performing Eviscerate instead?

molten citrus

#

ah thank u 🙂 had it happen to me in sprockenmonger first Coup came out after that bugged out 😂

#

Imagine keeping your trinket bound to flagellation after switching to house of cards

#

Couldn't be me

maiden trench
#

Guys stupid question but would you prefer use black powder on single target instead of coup de grace if you don’t have shadow dance up? Because sometime I’m keeping coup de grace 20 secondes while I use black powder but I feel it’s a dps loss?

keen dome
#

Imagine not putting HoC in slot 13, which is your macro, and instead putitng it in slot 14. And then being confused at why the macro wouldn't work. Couldn't have been me, either. dracthyr_kek

#

Another question when I look at rank 1 log and myself his shadow blade is doing wayyyy more dmg than mine and I don’t know what I am doing wrong, because almost every other spell are the same as the rank 1?

maiden trench
hollow spear
#

There's probably some 0.1% optimisation somewhere

#

But it's generally recommended to just send

#

If you have coup when going into an in between flag window dance, you coup then sectex

maiden trench
#

Ok so it’s not that big of a deal, thanks a lot bro

molten citrus

#

so in a fully single target boss in a key for example, after my full opener set of cds are done. i've been just sorta hitting the boss until i have a coup ready (assuming im not gnna overcap on symbols or dance) and then sending my next dance so it's supercharged? that optimal?

hollow spear
#

as long as you're not overcapping/losing casts that sounds fine to me

#

but in M+ or boss fights it's probably more optimal to align your align your sectecs/dances with large pulls/packs/add spawns

hallow sigil
#

Wait are we sending dance for coup not sectec now or what's all this coup talk I see?

hollow spear
#

stick to the guides

hallow sigil
#

So yeh coup is just 2nd highest prio but we still center dance/symbols around sectec ty

spice saffron
glass jasper
#

What's the procrate of setbonus?

molten citrus
#

our biggest focus is on sec tech

spice saffron
#

my thinking was i have 2 dances to use however i want between my first big cds and my 2nd right. so was thinking aiming to supercharge my coup was just a gain if i can do without overcapping on any dance/symbols, or is there somtehing im not consdiering

silent pecan
#

and sectec goes always on dance? cause sometimes I have symbols and sectec, but dance has 30s remaining

#

just for aoe?

molten citrus
#

i don't think coup damage needs to be maximized

#

just sec tech

quick crater
#

lets say i have 3 seconds left of dance and i can only fit 3 globals inside that window, i have 0cp, 2 stacks of escalating blade and 2 faze. do i double shadowstrike and munch cp to get coup inside dance or do i shadowstrike -> evis -> shadowstrike?

molten citrus
#

but you would just evis

quick crater
molten citrus
#

oh you meant eb, the buff

#

but ye just evis i'm pretty sure

#

you can't force more procs afaik

#

there's a CD on building stacks/proc'ing it

quick crater
#

okey so its not that important to actually get Coup inside dance?

molten citrus
#

afaik we just send coup now for the most part

#

i think it can be a gain if you already have coup proc'd, to coup->sec tech in CDs

#

but afaik in most scenarios in ST you don't do any weird holding

quick crater
#

okey, first time playing sub so im trying to figure out the rotation and priorities. Thanks for the help

hallow sigil
#

Is it a mistake or does it just happen sometimes?

quick crater
lilac stag
#

@vale pine is there an actual cutoff time in sims (ST) where it won’t send finishers before flag based on winning streak stacks? I’m assuming there’s something, even as low as 4 seconds.

vale pine
#

no

#

to delay the coup proc

#

its 0.2% dps tho

#

so ... idk

quick crater
#

okey okey i see, because u dont wanna use evi?

vale pine
#

yes

#

okay okay but the cook

#

would be to not use bp but rupture/snd

#

for tier set stacks

hallow sigil
#

Also also. I'm pretty new to sub as I just started it last week for the first time. What's the deal with us sending on 6+CP only? Do you never send on 5? For instance in dance if I strike and get 5 do you strike again or evis?

vale pine
#

6+ is the best trade off between energy return and damage output

how does the range of nimble furry work is it based off ur location or ur targets location

hallow sigil
hallow sigil
#

Thanks

hollow spear
#

Coup holding and tier set stacks are two sides of the same coin

vale pine
#

think there was no gain last time i checked

#

but its still probably worth in practice if you need damage at certain points

#

like first boss

hollow spear
#

I guess it's no gain at worst and a decent gain at best

#

because your damage 20 seconds before flag is wet noodle territory anyways

#

the good thing about rupturing is that you don't rupture right after flag, which allows for the coup to be used on flag

#

sometimes I have to re-rupture and then my coup comes after sectec

pure dust
#

What's the etiquette on log reviews? Can I paste my log here to see if someone can review? Or is there another channel

hollow spear
#

you can "!log" and post them there

#

to not crowd this channel

molten citrus
#

the command will open a thread for you

void hound
vale pine
#

you want to use coup in dance ye

hollow spear
#

but aren't you losing out on flawless form stacks on your first sectec then?

void hound
#

also is holding coup only worth it for flag windows or inbetween dances too?

hollow spear
#

and you'll "lose" some unseen blade stacks from sectec as well

#

if I am not mistaken

#

then again, if you're sending it on flag, the stacks drop after 12 seconds

#

which means they'll be gone by the time you're sending your second sectec...

#

yeah

#

Maybe you can ask some of the nifty programmers here to create a weakaura that whispers you on each non-crit evis during flag

#

Or blast you with an air-horn

#

I just hide details and check how bad i did after the key. Out of a sight, out of mind.

hollow spear
#

I guess I can just send that in any delve to collect the map and then use it before I do a bountiful delve?

tribal blade
#

easier to just use it in a bountiful delve, then use the map you get immediately

#

and finish the delve

chrome flax
#

Hey guy, during m+ to reduce cool down I did a macro for using extra combo point with slice and dice before next pack since anyway we open with full combo point
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Slice and Dice
/cast Slice and Dice

#

nice way to dump any if you finish on a CB generator ability

tribal blade

I could swear I tried and it didn't use up the map

Can also confirm it works

Okay, will try

chrome flax

I need to buy this for bounty?

you can buy this for the map

I use to cancel aura with right click. Got bored so made that macro and thought some of you might be interested

might try using it

#

but also i'm in the middle of remembering why i retired from key pushing haha

chrome flax
#

You mean, not getting invited all day?

tribal blade

nah not that, just mostly the stress

well in part that

my first vault my mythic gear was all garbage. Either not my stats or E Rank trinket. Basically losing the first week

I was wondering, is off hand useless?

keen dome
#

Stat stick

#

I forget the precise damage calc I saw in here once but it's extremely minor and the secondaries seem more impactful?

chrome flax
#

Like, is it worth it to focus your off hand after main hand or other piece of gear more important?

keen dome
#

I imagine OH is like, the last piece

golden totem
#

Other piece of gear are usually more important

chrome flax
#

That is what I thought

#

we do 0 damage auto attack anyway

native zodiac
#

Offhand is a realy bad piece to upgrade, stuff like chest, legs, head, trinkets should always be prio

#

After mainhand that is

#

I'll do portals when everyone is geared more

#

the key balance seems quite good for 10s right now

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

We were only over a 10 Cindermead my friends and I did las tweek by.. 8 minutes? with 26 deaths

#

It felt super doable

chrome flax
#

Yeah, they nerfed key kinda hard

tribal blade
#

i don't like that place

chrome flax
#

when geared a 15 should be around a 12 of last season

tribal blade
#

one of my least favorite dungeons to do

#

darkflame cleft is actually pretty nice, the free timer helps too

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Motherlode / Top seem easiest

Motherload is the goat simply for the damage amp on first boss

keen dome
#

Haha yeah

#

also 3rd boss is amazing

#

so much blasting

chrome flax

#

i think darkflame cleft is by far the easiest dungeon

#

the timer is so incredibly free

keen dome
chrome flax
#

I hate key buster being last boss

stoic granite
#

Hi guys, got a min-maxing question

tribal blade
chrome flax
# tribal blade

I think anyone pushing key right now can come with that conclusion

weary crag
#

tbh all these dungeons suck ass

keen dome
#

I think I'd put Rookery on B if only because pugs fucking struggle like mad on 2nd boss

#

Otherwise agreed

stoic granite
#

Do we avoid casting evis pre cds when at high? number of set stacks?

chrome flax
#

Oh yeah, is there any guide of how I should use my brand new 4tier

tribal blade
#

everyone thought rookery was the easiest, but when that place gets higher key levels it's actually quite scary

weary crag
#

why guide

chrome flax
#

Do I wait to get some stack before popping CD?

stoic granite
#

exaclty, thats the question

hollow spear
#

How do we feel about pacemaker? In my mind, it will perform worse in reality when we cannot line up the 3 min flag exactly right.

weary crag
#

you think its worth wasting time on not popping cds

#

to get stacks?

chrome flax
tribal blade
weary crag
#

instead of getting more cds throughout the fight?

chrome flax
weary crag
#

i think its definitely not worth

#

especially considering the amount of evises you will cast during cd window

stoic granite
weary crag
#

which will probably give u stacks

stoic granite
#

and its not about waiting

#

but to avoiding bad luck

chrome flax
#

evis not the thing that give you stack tho, its CP generator

tribal blade
stoic granite
#

this was the answer i was waiting for

#

thanks

chrome flax
#

or is it every attack, even evis that give stacks

stoic granite
#

its attacks

#

evis has 15% to consume all stacks

tribal blade
#

it's also worth doing if there's an important moment/damage burn incoming

#

like on the last boss of rookery

chrome flax
#

Yeah, finisher have 15% to drop it outside shadowdance

tribal blade
#

when the shield phase is about to start you want to bank all your stacks by just pressing rupture

weary crag
#

low chance tbh

#

but yeah if the situation is legit pre cds and u have high stacks

stoic granite
#

yeah we need some maths here

weary crag
#

sure

#

but its getting too mathy

stoic granite
#

because maybe its not worth

chrome flax
#

Masquarade vs Bounty ?

tribal blade
#

well losing 1-2 non dance evis/bps to gain more damage in cds

weary crag
#

i think consistent uptime of shadow blades during fights is mroe important

#

so trying to press it off cd

#

especially longer fights

#

so would a 10 second wait be worth it

chrome flax
weary crag
#

maybe if you time it with ads spawning

#

sure

tribal blade
#

you're ramping your 4pc much faster in cds and have 8 stacks sooner than if you had pressed evis/bp a few finishers before cds

stoic granite
#

its not about delaying cds ico

#

its about not pressing evis

#

if only 1-2 finishers are left

#

and have high stacks

#

god is writing, lets wait.

tribal blade
#

this is just feelycraft on my end about the number of finishers

#

you can do the same thing in M+

cloud rover
tribal blade
#

if a pack is about to die you can just press rupture and let your team kill them off

cloud rover
#

the floor to Ipa

tribal blade
#

and then go into the next pack wtih stacks

cloud rover
#

its insane

tribal blade
stoic granite
#

Also, probably also said here but u can use punchbag to get 8 stacks and then start key

tribal blade
#

it has a lot of mechanics

weary crag
#

yes for m+ i definitely agree with that analogy

stoic granite
#

u wont lose thos stacks and u can start full stacks

cloud rover
#

have soooooooooo much life

tribal blade
#

yeah everything about that place is horrendous

#

how about getting dc'd on the bee boss

#

when you jump on a bee

weary crag
#

any1 have a weakaura for the stacks btw?

cloud rover
#

We depleted a 10s on weekend, because the Adds on Ipa kept reviving at 80% energy

vestal escarp
#

Cinderbrew is

vestal escarp
#

Never ending

tribal blade
#

on that boss i run around rupturing all the adds

vestal escarp
#

You legit can feel like you're one hour in

tribal blade
#

then run back to boss

vestal escarp
#

And be before 2nd boss

tribal blade
#

priory is honestly not too bad either

#

it's kinda simple

cloud rover
#

Ye but

tribal blade
#

relatively simple

cloud rover
#

you ahve to kick a lot of stuff

#

and stop it

tribal blade
#

yeah for sure

cloud rover
#

Because Sacred toll + one cast

#

Deadge

tribal blade
#

yeah sacred toll is kinda crazy

#

that spell needs a nerf

#

almost 1 shotting on a 10 is fucking crazy

cloud rover
#

#

And you need to pull big

@chrome flax @stoic granite Only time you wanna pay attention to tier set stack is if your cds are VERY soon up like 10-15 sec at most and in m+ when a pack is about to die, other than, its brain off and just press buttons

chrome flax

?I prefer brain off lol

sub can definitely get intensely statistic

in terms of rotation and cd uptime

we have to try and keep it simple

Jokes aside: I enjoy theorizing about these minute potential improvements. In reality, you're making so many costly mistakes during progression that your 0.5% improvements due to backstab weave pale in comparison

the backstab weave in the start of the pull is possibly the most annoying shit

if you parse grey on ret

you must not be pressing buttons

someone needs to parse gray

that is correct

we need to start a campaign to lure ret paladins to sub

Number of death only account to extra 1h to the key

wtf

hollow spear

Maybe I am burning the food, but I feel like "over-rupturing" once or so when at 8 stacks between opener and your first shadow dance at like 20 seconds could be the play

gotta love when a tank leave on last boss after it is the reason we wipe on it and wont time it. In ML, tank under a helicopter. The whole group got wipe cept me lol. Second ML 10 failed because of the same thing

Tank privileges

tribal blade
#

on the wipe it was literally me killing the final boss that comes down after you kill the helicopter

#

in case you didn't know, that boss has no hp but hits HARD af sadly

chrome flax
#

We almomst were double timing it. But after third boss group kept on wiping and getting bombed for some reason

tribal blade
#

so i couldn't solo it

chrome flax
#

That is 2x10 ML failed for the same thing. Boss almost dead and tank just lazy out on helicopter lol

#

Rest of group should also be aware but do not care lol

#

easiest and only 1 not timed in 10 lol

keen dome
#

Geez

#

Cursed key 😦

jaunty heath
#

People that have no depletes in their raiderio biggest redflag btw

#

Got a tank leaving a 10 DAY 2 of the season because he didn’t want it Show in his Rio

#

At the first and only wipe

#

70% in on top

#

💀

keen dome
#

People who finish keys are the best

lilac stag
#

do people actually check non-timed in rio? wtf has time for that lol

hollow spear
#

I think that's my problem during raiding, I am just not locked in

tribal blade

#

Some people just have spam depletes

hollow spear
#

That's the same people that run it down in MOBA when they're tilted

lilac stag
#

id be more sus of someone with no depletes

solar geode
#

if you leave keys you are a deeply evil person

tribal blade
#

having a lot of depletes becomes super normal the higher in key level you go

solar geode
#

yesterday something so strange to me happened

short radish
#

Yeah expecting all 10s to be timed this early

#

Is wack

solar geode
#

i made a group for my +8 floodgate

#

we started pulling and suddenly people just start chain dying

short radish
#

I'm more talking about a guy who's highest key is an 7 and has a bunch of depleted on 5s and 6s

solar geode
#

like the healer dies and then everyone just dies resulting in like 14 times after that

#

then tank and healer just leave without a word

#

like ???

short radish
#

That being said don't look at my rio depleting a 2 and 3 cinderbrew

jaunty heath
jaunty heath
#

Me as a dps only class I took 30 mins to form that group

Unless it's a high key

jaunty heath
#

Just to have him go

short radish
#

Like just do it for vault

tribal blade
#

it depends, i'll leave a key if it's evident it's gonna be an insanely long slog

lilac stag
#

tank privilege

jaunty heath
#

Yeah sure high keys the only point is is score so ofc leave

solar geode
#

i miss being a tank ☹️

jaunty heath
#

But like first wipe after being done with 70% of ToP

#

Cringe

tribal blade
#

i once was doing a title range level halls of valor and we bricked before last boss

#

the key holder wanted to finish the key and everyone agreed so he could reroll it that way

#

we wiped i dunno, must have been 5-6 times on the last boss or something

#

and he got super angry and was saying how shit we all were, and i was like "bruh we've been in here so long i'm tired and can't concentrate anymore"

short radish
tribal blade
#

and then i eventually left because fuck that guy

short radish
#

Yeah if someone starts getting toxic

#

Its kinda jover

lilac stag

I'm just like "nah man"

although i'll only leave if the key holder is being hostile

#

not if someone else is

jaunty heath
#

I was in a 6 farming neck yday ended up being a group of RP mains and for some reason they found out mid run there’s an achievement that they could do here and shit

short radish
#

You don't want to fuck over the keyholder

keen dome
#

that's a fair point, yeah.

jaunty heath
#

Was it annoying for me? Yes

#

Am I gonna leave these guys key?

#

Hell no

yeah you need to have respect for people's keys, it's not easy to farm key levels back up

Loads of talking they did

jaunty heath
keen dome

Ye

#

It's why I never really bothered to lead ansurek heroic pugs

jaunty heath
#

I just don’t like spending the time waiting for new people after each pull

keen dome
#

people jus tleave non-stop

jaunty heath
#

With a semi decent group that’s also just staying it’s actually fun

tribal blade
#

i could get you into my guild's make a wishes

jaunty heath
#

Bro your guild is doing make a wishes?

#

That’s kinda cool

tribal blade
#

haha yeah we do it every tier

#

my RL is obsessed with it

#

that guy is crazy

jaunty heath
#

I dig it

void hound
#

our guild sponsors a free AOTC to a random guild from our realm every tier

tribal blade

we just join pug groups and carry them to aotc

so... this spreads the dot to all targets via nibmle

you blow people's minds when you have 3-4 mythic raiders doing 50% of the entire group's dps

#

We did 8/8N in just over an hour yesterday and then 3/8H in about 2 hours. Stix/Locken suck atm in heroic pugs, and I didn't have a good tactic for locken yet

not sure about the on use

upper narwhal

#

Yeah

I'm doing some reps on him in a decent pug and it's extremely painful

tribal blade
#

they have a thing this tier about bosses with hard enrages

#

and tight dps/healing checks

random comet
#

found bandit harder than (nerfed) mugzee tonight

keen dome
#

First 5 are veyr doable on heroic. Bandit is fucking brutal and I imagine he's gonna get a nerf soon.

#

In pugs, for context.

upper narwhal
#

First 5 are just mechanics checks, Bandit needs good dps and great healers to survive

keen dome
#

Yeah

upper narwhal
#

The mechanics on Bandit are far more simple than 4 and 5

lilac stag
#

bandit will be fine, just need the renown buffs to start

keen dome
#

Yeah but getting pugs to swap to the right target

upper narwhal
#

Was using Northern Sky WA for bandit ads but getting pugs to use it properly was torture, gave up eventually

hazy breach
#

Or just the main target

tribal blade
#

the WA assignment is kinda fucked, everyone on my raid team gets told to kill different adds

#

we had an eye of kazan drop today, i rolled a 96

then another guy rolled a 96

its stacks fast so i'll try

then another rolled 99

keen dome
tribal blade
#

i have the lowest loot score on my raid team right now lol

keen dome
#

It's a good idea, but I have PTSD from trying to get people to do it in DF S3 on the second Amirdrasil boss

upper narwhal
#

Rolled 100 on it on the first kill, been loving my eye

upper narwhal
keen dome
#

yeah..

#

I think when I lead him i'll just skull mark the adds

#

and have people kill them

upper narwhal
#

Praying my guild can down OAB this week so I can avoid pugs

lilac stag

@hazy breach just the target, the dot stays up on everything else.

Hello. I have the following problem: I know, that if you have Symbols of Death up and running, Shadowcraft can trigger to replenish your combo points to full if you have enough stored after a finisher. Most of the times this happens instantly. I also have a WA where I can see how many combo points are stored and can expect when it's going to replenish to full. This replenish thing is also instantenous. But in very seldom cases, it's delayed and it never looks like I don't have enough combo points stored to replenish them to full, but then suddenly they are. My question is: How much time does Shadoecraft have to replenish to full (e.g. 1 second after using a finisher)? Is this replenish random? It's just very frustrating if it doesn't seem like it'll get replenished and suddenly it is and you just Shadowstrike with full combo points and waste a global. I hope somebody can explain to me what is happening

lilac stag

the toxins. trying to see if its actually ticking for anything,

@hazy breach it's debuffing (was showing as a dot with my nameplates) everything via nimble. it just slams the dot into primary

swift tinsel
#

Wait are the stacks doing damage outside of the on-use now?

#

They were just cosmetic otherwise

lilac stag
#

no, they were showing up as a dmg via nameplate. its a debuff/cosmetic

#

but that spreads via nimble if you want to quick swap

swift tinsel
#

Ah, that’s nice at least

#

Does it still stack crazy fast

pretty quick

I have one and it’s kinda garbage against my azerokk and hero transmitter

wraith vigil
#

How important is it holding CB for 2nd Secret Tech? i know it makes a difference but is it big or is it fine to macro CB into secret tech and just use on CD

vale pine
#

around 1% dps diffrence

#

less if you don't have the new 4p

wraith vigil
#

I do have the 4p, just feel like there are so many buttons to press so wouldn't really mind not having to press CB aha

hazy breach
#

You can have it macroed, as long as you have another bind without a macro

wraith vigil
#

For what reason?

hazy breach
#

If you just want to press one button

#

Instead of multiple shrugeg

#

Idk

wraith vigil
#

Just feel like macroing CB into secret tech will make my brain chill a bit more

#

but i would probably have to learn to play without the macro along the road

lilac stag
#

if you brain hurts less, showtool tip for CB on your CB/SecTech macro, so they both go off. then just have sectech as normal

small spruce
#

What is the go to tip you’d give to someone for M+ that isn’t the most obvious tips?😅

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.

Okay screenshotting, ty

chrome flax
#

Yeah, I do not bind Dance + sumbol or CB and ST

silent umbra
#

you dont want ur first global in dance to be a combo generator with shadow blades up

cuz wasting premed

I recommend having a look at the !guides opener section 'cos the opener is a little tricky. And it'll make it a bit cleaner.

#

okay

You might want to also look into geting a better trinket 'cos Signet is 2 minutes, and won't align with our cooldowns very well

#

Lol

dire trout
#

Okay

chrome flax
#

@keen dome easy to say. But the trinket still very good until you are lucky to have house of card

dire trout
#

It was the higher ilvl trinket i have, so ysing it for now

keen dome
#

Ye, I get'cha.

lilac stag
#

if you dont have transmitter, no excuse to not get pvp trinket. you can pve your way to it

dire trout
#

that was also an issue i was having

#

I was either stuck holding CDs for it

#

for 30 sec

chrome flax
#

Ok thanks, didnt know there was a pvp trinket worth it

dire trout
#

or use it 30 sec after cds

lilac stag
#

2mins get used on 3 mins

they suck

dire trout
#

yeah

60

dire trout
#

Ohhhh wicked

we uyse as 90

dire trout
#

i’ll do that tonight

#

okay

keen dome
#

You can just macro it to blades and blast.

dire trout
#

Okay, so i will adjust my blades macro, take off flag

#

and add the badge

keen dome
#

But I highly recommend having a look at the guide on the opener and practicing. Getting the proper timings for flag -> blades is a biggie

dire trout
#

Okay!

chrome flax
#

I dont have transmitter. What should I go for?

#

If I dont have access to House of card and eye of kazan

#

Signet + pvp

keen dome
#

You want a passive as your second trinket I believe but don't quote me on this. I just prefer 1 active + 1 passive

Hey. During Dance when do we backstab once to gain a DM stack? Basically, during the dance sequence raidbots says just strike, than sec tech especially during the 1.5 mins burst window (to get back sec tech in time for the second CB + sec tech pump). TBH didn't check in normal symbols + dance window, during that it might to build higher sec tech. But still, the question is the same, when do we backstab during dance?

chrome flax
#

I also prefer 1 passive and 1 active for raid boss

#

in m+ I like to have something that do damage inbetween CD's

#

Like the carkey of the first boss of the raid

lilac stag

#

afk and do healer dps between cds
