WAIT they reduced the timer on darkflame by 2 mins

#

and it changed my timed 13 to depeleted

#

i hate this game

#

ok no i was actually right, my score was fucky because they retroactively changed darkflame keys

guys i used transmitter on gallywix and the orb yeeted itself into the big hole in the middle

you better get yourself a HoC

#

i have heroic HoC on my rogue

it's just that easy

Ye weve gotten 2 across 6 splits

never seen it

#

I see all the top sub rogues running treacherous transmitter from last tier what's up with that

errant tinsel
#

HoC doesnt exist

tribal blade
#

i took mine from vault because i'm not even eligible to roll on it

tribal blade
#

sub is near the bottom of the queue for it

errant tinsel
#

And it's an excellent on-use with a 90sec CD

wide kernel
#

It's a 626 ilvl right?

#

The transmitter

tribal blade
#

639 myth track

#

if you're running 626 transmitter a base hero HoC should be a dps increase

wide kernel
#

But transmitter is like bis trinket behind cards?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

Cards is only slightly better

tribal blade
#

the main thing about running HoC is you can macro it to blades and forget about it

wide kernel
#

Easiest way to get it is doing last tiers raid then? Or

hazy breach
#

Would recommend jusdt getting the pvp trinket

#

Its roughly as good as a 626 transmitter

#

And you cant get a 639 transmitter anymore

#

Because you cant upgrade s1 gear anymore

wide kernel
#

What's the name of the pvp trinket?

hazy breach
#

Badge

#

Its the one for 700 conquest

hello guys, i got a question if someone can help me.
Is it worth usin backstab on a shadow dance window??

sudden bone
#

young mural
#

champ track max upgraded

honest saddle
#

are we every playing around our set bonus? I know after the nerf, the answer is kinda no, but there has to be a breakpoint where we dont evisc 5 seconds before flag and reset 8 stacks

loud gyro
# warm depot once with premed

tysm, and a last question haha
secret technique is still worth casting as a first finisher? or is better to cast second one on a shadow dance window??

honest saddle
#

ideal would be backstab evisc, shadow strike tech

loud gyro
#

aah, nice, but with cds like flag and shadowblades is it better first??

honest saddle
#

yes, you have to get the cdr going in order to make the second tech go

loud gyro
#

perfect, tysm!!

honest saddle

#

A sample sequence is 1 singular pull

#

It uses BP at 20? or less seconds on flag/blades with coup up

honest saddle
#

oh it's still doing that

#

I didn't know we were still holding coup

young mural
#

sim doing insane shit

#

i wasnt aware that BPing to hold coup was actually viable

alpine wraith
#

you use bp to hold coup for cds yes

#

around a 0.3% win

random hare
young mural
#

really worth

raven maple
#

Im confused on what I'm supposed to do when there is between 3-6 target.
Is the following correct:

  • In AoE only use Black Powder if you don't have Flawless Form up or if 7 or more targets are present.
    -In AoE you wanna use Eviscerate over Black Powder if you have Flawless Form

So I can you BP only if I dont have flawless form and between 3-6 targets also?

lilac stag
#

BP is basically to save coup if needed.

#

You just send Evis at that target count in CDs. Rupture if no CDs

raven maple
lilac stag
#

It’s a loss

young mural
#

its really not hard to keep flawless form up, so at that target count you really shouldnt be BP'ing unless youre in that niche situation scAth mentioned

#

where youre holding coup de grace

raven maple
#

So the time Flawless form is down it's so little that it's not a big deal to no use bp except for the mentioned situation?

young mural
#

I dont really see myself in situations where flawless form isn't up though

#

and if there are, they're rare and for a very short time

raven maple
#

I see, thank you very much yall

upbeat sorrel
#

noticed on rik logs people are delaying cd's on pull for a bit, is that just to line up better with ad spawns

lilac stag
#

yes

tribal blade
#

send

#

then you get adds up during your 2nd dance

#

at the start you can just get up snd with an evis and vanish>rupture

#

then build to 7CPs and wait

lilac stag
#

@tribal blade badge op in keys this week

tribal blade
#

just do keys 12 or higher and don't worry bout that

#

heehee

lilac stag
#

true

#

But it’s fun being a 1min cd spec

tribal blade
#

i did some 10s yesterday

#

it was so tilting

#

having to just hold cds to wait for HoC

young mural
#

waiting moment

tribal blade
#

yeah might as well wait

#

and build up sht

young mural
tribal blade
#

yeah it's pretty bad

young mural
#

im almost giving in and farming a badge

upbeat sorrel
#

cool ty, also noticed theres a SecTec at :54 without dance and just symbols is this normal for sub or specific for rik to save dance for adds

young mural
#

this is why i got a 92 on rik reverb, i was definitely not holding cds

lilac stag
honest saddle
#

if my first global in a dance is evisc, does that mean I shadow strike into a tech and ignore bs?

lucid jackal
#

NOP

#

caps

#

u would do evis backstab sectec

honest saddle
#

why would the backstab be used

#

you get the same macabre stacks with strike

#

and it does more dam

jaunty heath
#

Hes not wrong

#

It’s prob Evis strike tech bs

honest saddle
#

I want a formal fucking apology NOW

young mural
#

NO because of premed

#

bs wouldnt fill up CPS

honest saddle
#

so you bs first, to use the premed stacks into a tech

#

then strike because it generates more cp into evisc

#

that makes sense

#

hmmmmmm

boreal finch
#

wait do I need to farm a million honor to put 2 sockets into this pvp neck?

honest saddle
#

YUHP

#

or do the event and win

boreal finch
#

its 12.5k each?!

#

oh what event

honest saddle
#

theres some chest thing that spawns and the first person to open it gets the socket item

#

I dunno the details, just know it exists

young mural
#

pvp sockets are fucking expensive

honest saddle
#

I think I'd still like an apology from Guy

#

just cause it would feel good

young mural
#

lol btw

#

i managed to answer that mid i'pa pull in cinderbrew

I don't want the buff icons under my character (like slice and dice as shown), but I do want the combo point bar. Has anyone been able to get rid of those?

young mural
#

im not sure if you can turn off only the buffs

marble ledge
#

unfortunately that turns off the combo bar too

#

Is there an alternative combo bar that works well for sub?

honest saddle
marble ledge
#

I'm not sure, @young mural is correct turning off personal resource display removes the buffs, but also the bar.

young mural
honest saddle
#

oh, gross

#

it puts snd and such under you

marble ledge
#

I hate it, I just want the bar

honest saddle
#

I mean, I have a weak aura you can use that I made that is decent

but lots of the weak aura packs have them

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
honest saddle
#

it just saves room so you dont have 7 combo points

#

but I can see how it would throw a loop at first

#

and since we dont finish until 6

#

you just dont finish until you see red

young mural
#

yhea

#

its confusing for me but looks like it'd be pretty easy to get used to

I found one that's pretty much exactly what I was looking for

B/w sus energy drink and the mech amplifier, which scales better in long run?

Both sim 0.1% of each other

young mural

i had champ mechano-core

it was simming .1% higher than same ilvl sus drink

#

but idk

#

haste proc just seems very susge for me

ornate lake
#

Remember when haste was the worst rogue secondary?

#

Then TWW outlaw happened

young mural
ornate lake
#

Doesn't outlaw need a minimum haste breakpoint to even be playable?

young mural
#

yhea outlaw does

#

but haste for sub and sin is pretty susge

ornate lake
young mural

i just dont touch outlaw

ornate lake

I played the shit out of outlaw in DF S3 then went back to assa

Ngl having 6 rolls and then getting 8 back to back crackshots was peak gaming. Absolutely cracked.

#

The last time my serotonin spiked that much was the SL S3 Sub tier set when I got 7 back to back procs

young mural
#

i tried to do that

#

but couldnt play outlaw correclty

#

*Correctly

#

just stuck to sub

my sim is contantly telling me that Azerrokks Heart is better than Sus Energy on 5 bosses. Does that sound right?

#

i started to play rogue in DF S3, literally got me addicted to this shitty class

ornate lake
#

You had 3 min shadowblades and flagellation was a haste buff (not mastery)

young mural
ornate lake
#

Rogues in shadowlands had one of the highest skill ceilings in the game.

#

Outlaw was a demonic spec

young mural
#

one of the hardest classes to play

honest saddle
#

the fucking end of shadow lands outlaw

#

was insane

#

dread blades

young mural
#

along side a few others like fire mage etc.

ornate lake
#

The mouseover bonespike necrolord outlaw and the shadow dust kyrian outlaw were absolute ass cancers

young mural
#

i dont even touch outlaw, too insane for me

#

i miss invigorating shadowdust from dragon flight though 😔

#

like i miss it alot

😭

#

Funnily, shadowdust was mainly an outlaw thing OMEGAKEKW

young mural
#

what CDs did you have to pull kekdog

#

AR?

honest saddle
#

dreadblades, flagellation

#

or if it wasnt flag it was something

#

I cant remember

#

but something flagesque

ornate lake
# honest saddle dread blades

Don't get me started on the blunderbussy kekdog

Beginning of downfall of outlaw, it brought down the skill ceiling and made the spec literally BM level of gameplay

young mural
#

sorry for my dumb question, but what did/does dreadblades do?

uncut bloom

honest saddle
#

dread blades made every builder you do fill combo points, like shadow blades

#

the spec is designed to be extemely easy so the player can be a toxic fuck

ornate lake

But I was really happy when I saw they brought in scent, shrouded and exsanguate in dragonflight.

Peak assa talents

young mural
#

i feel like its throughput is insanely high for the effort you put into it

vale pine
#

i was joking, i mean it is easy to allow more players to participate in harder content

#

ret is basically tuned higher to keep the player base of wow high

young mural
#

crazy

#

i dont even want to imagine what the ret paladin discord channel looks like

vale pine
#

there is a reason it is the by far most popular spec in the game

young mural
#

there must have absolutely no questions about how you should play it

young mural
vale pine
#

compare this to e.g. subtlety

young mural
#

ofc BM and ret would be top 2

vale pine
#

ret was not that popular before the rework

young mural
vale pine
#

but ever since always buffed or tuned extremely well and is easy to play

#

i mean you don't even press wings now

#

the gameplay loop became extremely boring/simple

young mural
#

exactly why it pisses me off even more

#

you dont even use your brain for CD management anymore

vale pine
#

tho you can be top in dps meters due to tuning, and it is in fact what people value

#

also can use most spells from range

drowsy moon
vale pine
#

so no hard melee requirement like on rogue

silent ruin
#

Blizzard loves arthas n uther

young mural
#

you used to not have to use your brain for rotation, but at least you'd have to think about CDs to get good dps

honest saddle
drowsy moon
young mural
#

nowadays you dont think about rotation or CDs + you get all melee spec benefits without the range requirement

#

i mean how does that not aggravate you

drowsy moon
#

Wdym u don't think about rotation

young mural
#

ranged without casts is crazy work

vale pine
#

i mean ret in general is one of the popular themes

young mural
ornate lake
#

But blizzard have assa caustic spatter and super juiced up SecTech for sub.

So I kinda forgive them

young mural
#

do you really think its even in the same ballpark for comparison?

drowsy moon

#

Anyone else having issues with their treacherous transmitter desyncing with flagellation? I have the two macroed together but multiple times today when Flag would be up again, transmitter would still have like 7 sec of CD. It’s only been an issue as of today, had 0 issues before.

drowsy moon
#

It's fun to be the underdog

ornate lake
#

Jesus christ

dense lichen
#

Omg

vale pine
#

e.g. paladin in dungeons and dragons is one of the popular classes

young mural
dense lichen
#

Ok don’t mind me then, I’m just dumb

ornate lake
drowsy moon
#

That's a very different scenario

young mural
vale pine
#

people love to:

  • play human in any high fantasy universe
  • play the righteous knight
drowsy moon
#

It's not godly kind of warrior

#

U know what's cool gray guards

#

Does anyone know what's a gray guaed

#

Assa rogues going to dominate tier by the end I feel

vale pine
#

you essentially have always the lawfully good paladin in your dunegon group

young mural

#

This is a paladin

young mural
drowsy moon
#

Lawful good btw

idle plinth
#

Hello, I’m having some issues with cd management. Do you use clone outside of SD? And do you SD outside of burst phases with Flag + SB? Also should I stop using SoD to pool energy and do a mini dance?

drowsy moon
#

"Do whatever it takes to get the job done, and worry about the moral questions later"

vale pine
#

e.g. in wow subtelty is often the glass cannon

#

but you are not allowed to do more damage than other classes

#

so you remove the entire benefit of glass cannon

#

surprise surprise, if you pull 5 mobs and die

young mural
vale pine
#

80% of the players switch to something that can go afk and kill the 5 mobs

young mural
#

idk just feels weird for me

#

i get warlock being the 3rd most played spec/class

#

it has an actual cool theme and lore behind it

#

but hunter and paladin are so cring

drowsy moon
#

It's a warlock tier

vale pine
#

hunter makes a lot of sense to be played

young mural
queen kraken
#

My rl told Me no hoc cuz outlaw outperformes and low sim compared to myth transmitter

#

😂

young mural
#

it has to be top 1 most boring spec concept

queen kraken
#

Barely any outlaws from rik onwards

vale pine
#

bm hunter is now for multiple xpacs the definition of easy to play ranged spec with no casting

#

you essentially have complete freedom of movement and a simple rotaiton

#

making it the perfect beginner friendly spec

young mural
ornate lake
#

I like rogue being a niche class choice and higher skill ceiling.

Makes us look like mafia

young mural
#

talking about concept, not actual gameplay stuff

vale pine
#

it is basically the same formula

#

that made ret paladin so popular now

young mural
jade canopy
#

i refused to play ret after nyalotha was goated at that time and i loved the procs Retribution

vale pine
#

just that bm does not need insane tuning

young mural
vale pine
#

the way i see it is, blizz tries to make the popular specs more appealing

ornate lake
vale pine
#

it is why you see ret paladin getting very strong output every tier

young mural
#

dude you should HAVE to put in effort to see big numbers, you should be rewarded for studying your rotation, running sims, analyzing logs, practicing etc etc etc

vale pine
#

and because ret has such a high amount of players

#

keeping them happy is a higher priority

young mural
#

but here comes BM and ret just pressing 3 buttons randomly and topping meters

vale pine
#

at least thats my theory

young mural
ornate lake
young mural
#

their motto has been subs over everything for a WHILE now

vale pine
#

i mean sub is good right now

young mural
vale pine
#

its just, rogue in general is not competing with the highest dps

#

especially not the outliners

ornate lake
#

You mean sub as in spec or subscriptions?

young mural
#

all 3 rogue specs are great rn

vale pine
#

sub = subtlety

young mural
#

loool

ornate lake
vale pine
#

outlaw might be the most underrated this tier

young mural
#

blizzard has been a sellout for subscriptions for a while

#

and you SHOULDNT expect anything other than that for a publicly listed company that got bought by one of largest corporations in the world

ornate lake
young mural
#

they really should be maxing out profits

queen kraken
#

Wouldnt high end guilds use outlaw instead of sub if it was superior?

vale pine
#

if anything we will just get more classes next xpac

young mural
#

fuu, what do you think they'll do about hero specs next expac? im pretty hyped about that

#

will they add more?

#

completely remove them?

vale pine
young mural
#

but i dont know anything about outlaw so take that with a bag of salt

queen kraken
#

So its basically an uptime issue? Like planning and so on

vale pine
#

it is more a problem of the flat damage profile and high uptime requirements

#

if you know the fights need equal damage during all phases

vagrant fulcrum
vale pine
#

and outlaw is typically slightly better sustained damage than the other 2

queen kraken
#

I just get so tilted trying to proc transmitter the same time i use sectec

vale pine
#

it can be a great choice

#

but as is, you have e.g. adds or specific phases you need damage

#

and both assassination and subtlety do that better

young mural
vale pine
#

i have no idea

#

i could see each spec getting a new hero spec

#

or just a few more talents for each

young mural
queen kraken
#

Well im gonna mess with rl on rik next week since i had highest dmg on barrels and with outlaw i dont see that happening 😂

vagrant fulcrum
young mural
#

would be pretty underwhelming though to just have a few more talent rows compared to getting whole new hero talent specs

stone robin
#

i had my first raid as sub yesterday and it was so fun!
its just normal but im happy how it went.
i fucked up bigtime on stix tho, weird af boss XD

young mural

but thats probably whats going to happen

young mural
#

fuck fatebound btw

#

fuck deathstalket btw

#

trickster on top

#

give nimble flurry to assassination, buff the fuck out of internal bleeding 100rogue

tribal blade
#

rogue hero trees so badly cooked each spec only has 1 viable tree

young mural
#

added a bit more of variety to sub

#

i do not actually, i like just playing trickster

trickster so cool tbf\

they might have had more success if they just made 1 hero tree per spec

young mural

but imo it shouldnt be the best hero spec for single target

Complete tangent, but this will eventually drive me insane. Does anyone else's game just randomly change the resolution to something stupid, which makes the game blurry?

crazy work

just cuts off 19 pixels in the vertical axis and completely destroys all text clarity haha

They’re probably just gonna end up baking certain hero talents into spec trees like they do with every expac’s added power feature

#

Happen to me on alt tab sometimes

#

I need to restart afterward

They used to use tier sets for that, but this season's tier sets aren't usable for hero talents

but thats blizzard every single xpac

#

they do something cool and interesting for once

#

and remove it next expac because why not

dense lichen
#

Yep, happens every time

young mural
#

truly my favorite addition they every did were artifact weapons

#

so fucking cool

#

kinda removes some of the depth of going after your bis weapon and weapon upgrades but

#

so cool

going after your bis weapon is half dead anyways

It was a sad day when BFA dropped and everyone had to replace their sick ass artifact weapons with quest and dungeon drops

Lots of ppl were expecting Blizz to announce something this week since the RWF ended but there’s been no word so who knows

#

Btw has any noticed The First Dance proccing in combat? I vanished during a boss fight today and re engaged, but the timer for First Dance still went off and gave me the buff. Havent had the chance to really test and see if it’s a consistent thing or not.

#

im having trouble syncing cooldowns, do you hold shadow dances so they line up with cold blood ?

hollow spear
#

if you want to make life easy, you never cast cold blood in between flags

sturdy moat
#

that does make life a lot easier

#

trying to fit two cold bloods per blades and flag is making all my shit line up weird and delayed

hollow spear
#

per blades and flag?

sturdy moat
#

cold blood 45s = 2 per blades and flag 1:30?

hollow spear
#

okay, I briefly thought you mistook sectec or sth

#

you can make it fit if you perfectly time your dance to cast CB on the gcd when it comes back up

#

but in my experience, that's quite hard to do in hectic conditions

dense lichen
#

U can get away with it in certain situations in m+ depending on where u are in a dungeon and how big the pack is but in ur normal rotation it isn’t worth desyncing cold blood

next pulsar
#

Guys, how many shadow dances should I use between burst windows?

dense lichen
#

1-2. It’s better to judge off cd timers than aim for specific amounts.

young mural
#

thats something i was curious about

#

should i even bother sending 2nd cooldblood on CD

#

on a random eviscerate? or if im lucky in a not very buffed sec tech

next pulsar
#

Also is it mistake to start SD window with coup de grace without fazed?

dense lichen
dense lichen
#

Like I was saying, m+ can be different. There’s packs that merit cold blood + sec tech, but not a Flag SB burst so you have to just judge it in the moment

young mural
#

I sometimes desync it in M+ for a bit extra damage on Sd + SoD when I know ill be holding cds for a bit

dense lichen
young mural
#

but yhea, during strict boss fights where i've figured the timings, i generally dont send cold blood

#

off of my burst window

worn tulip
#

If I reach 30 stack of flag, i can CB on first dance? Or I w8 second dance?

dense lichen
#

Better still to wait until second dance for our tier set and flawless form stacks to build up

young mural
young mural
#

hadnt seen your answer, agreed

worn tulip
#

Oh ok even i aoe, when I spread rep i easy reach 30 in no time

young mural
#

for extra upfront burst damage while all mobs in pack are alive

worn tulip
#

Oh ok so I do right

young mural
#

in M+ you have much more flexibility with your rotation

quaint verge
#

Does anyone know if Coup adds a separate stack of Macabre compared to evis? eg. Dance backstab/evis/shadowstrike/(coup proc)/symbol/shadowstrike/sectec?

worn tulip
#

Ok ty boys

young mural
#

but keep in mind if you're sure that all mobs will stay alive, best DPS is doing the normal opener with CB on 2nd dance

worn tulip
#

Love you all

young mural
dense lichen
#

Are you popping flag while the mobs are still being gathered? As far as I understand you want to flag just before your first dance so it stays active until the end of your second dance

young mural
#

then send 2-3 ruptures max

#

and then pop dance and CDs

#

you want all mobs to be gathered when sending 1st sec tech

dense lichen
#

Ya I usually just send 1 rupture after flag and then pop everything else

young mural
#

i mean shouldnt be a big dps difference

worn tulip
#

2 is more etic for me

young mural
#

im about to learn how to sim rotation variations so i can do the ultimate extra master moment min maxxing

#

actionlist stuff

#

im about to become a robot in this shit

dense lichen
#

Lmao I haven’t gone that deep down the rabbit hole just yet but I’m getting close

worn tulip
#

But I will try 1 rep and open

young mural
#

im about to jump off the deep end here

young mural
worn tulip
#

Ok

#

I usually do 2 and open, but i will try1

dense lichen
#

Ya now that I think about it, 2 is probably better in AoE but like David said the number difference probably isn’t that big.

worn tulip
#

Ye true

#

Is a bit time waste but

#

Dunno

Better keep rolling cdr

Hey chaps quick question for my understanding of the gameplay. Outside of flag burst in dance+symbols, if we don't have coup up, why is sechtech the first charged finisher? Is it not better to build danse macabre stacks before using it?

#

If we use it straight away, it's cast with 1 stack of Dance macabre whereas if you wait for the second charged finisher, it's used with 3-4 stacks (bs+evisc+shadowstrike+sechtech)

#

Or am I missing something here?

(The damage gain from one stack of DM not in our cd windows is inconsequential)

raw wadi
#

And also if you use sechtech you will have unseen blade up. Because this you will shift cold blood to the second sechtech

lilac stag

#

Is the cdr you gain more valueable than the danse stacks?

lilac stag
#

you send it for unseen blades procs

#

don’t worry about the danse stacks

mystic ether
#

Do you always backstab as a first combo point builder in SD?

warm marlin
#

I believe wasting the cdr is bad

distant plinth
#

Ok thanks a lot for the replies chaps

lilac stag
#

we min max the danse for the big cb Sectech

warm marlin
#

Casting dance sod with 10s left on sectec gets you the best of both worlds

lilac stag
#

outside of that unseen blades and CDR “more better”

warm marlin
#

Danse stacks + no wasted cdr

mystic ether
#

What's cdr again?

warm marlin
#

Cooldown reduction

lilac stag
#

the bane of this spec

mystic ether
#

So basically SD at 10s sectec cd, backstab, eviscerate, shadow strike sectec (with coldblood)?

warm marlin
#

Yes, but with normal timings sectec will be off cd ready if you are trying to do the cold blood sectec between flags

mystic ether
#

And in that case, do I sectec as a first finisher?

zenith pasture
#

Does anyone know why nothing changes when I'm using these settings on Luxthos - Rogue Sub

#

i want to make them look like this

wicked joltBOT

Also pressing finishers on 5 CPs is not worth it, right? I should always go for 6+

lilac stag
glass jasper
#

Is there a wa/addon/setting or something to kick bombs with a keypress? Like in motherload, just a keypress and not have to target click them?

austere spindle
low nacelle
maiden oar
#

do this console command too

#

makes it so the facing requirement to kick them is less restrictive

meager coyote
#

question for the big brained, we don't evisc in opener for s&d because it's better to have another supercharged finisher in cds than 5? globals of s&d?

wary jungle
#

In AOE situations does it matter whether you keep targetting as main target the enemy you used flag on? I thought I had to, but saw a video of Casualaddict swapping target after pressing flag

#

you can do the extended open on Rik since we’re basically holding CDs until the 13-14 second mark.

#

Since it lines up with adds better

slate lantern
#

Are there any other bosses where there is an accepted delay of cds? On heroic OAB my add damage is so bad cause it feels like only one window ever lines up with adds

warm marlin
#

Heroic gallywix was still fine this week to hold flag a bit for add spawns

#

It’s kind of pad though

#

I usually just dance symbols backstab at like 0.8s on cold blood cd then sectec first finisher since it’s cozier

are you talking about using shadow dance so it lines up with a cold blood inbetween cds?

Isn't that a big loss to send ST with low attack speed? Thought that because the not normalized thingy you read about not using dagger in offhand

it’s literally 6 seconds of an entire encounter. It makes zero difference.

fair enough, seeing it at 20ish seconds which I wouldn't have called close to flag. dracthyr_shrug

are u still better off using evis in 7+ target counts if you want prio damage?

Speaking of target count, is sectech uncapped or does it have a target cap for when it starts scaling down?

how many crit i need how many haste, versa and mastery?

woah GZ

what was the biggest struggle for the pugs?

keen dome
#

Not dying in P3 / not soaking in P3.

#

Overall in the raid? Bandit is the most brutal fight for pugs, then Mug'zee.

#

GallywixH in pugs seems to just be doing either 2/6/13 or 2/8/20

#

Just stack healers and you never die

#

And then if you don't kick the cast on intermission, boss dies easily in P3

light imp
#

Can house of cards be macrod to sec tec since it doesn't need to be 'resolved' like transmitter?

keen dome
#

If you can hit P2 it always dies

#

The biggest issue is the typical pug issue of someone not listening, and then picking up a coin and doing nothing

light imp
keen dome
#

My plan for leading Bandit is to just RW and automark the two adds I want to die each cycle, and then try to pick coins up first haha

#

mug'zee is basically solved from a leading perspective, but getting people to do gaols right is the challenge.

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.

Do you cast Clones on cd outside of burst or do you keep it for dance + SoD?

I feel like I'm doing something very wrong with my cd usage outside of timing them with the fight

@hazy breach did you feel holding flag on cauldron was worth it? Full send and the hold look close.

hazy breach
#

Feel like it should be better, but ye doesnt seem much better

Like +60% dmg to your cd should be better

yeah I was kinda surprised

hey i got a 98 tonight 😉
