yesssss

vale pine
#

sorry for bad pain skills, but so my assumption is, if the initial attack hits (within the attack range around you), then moving the target out of the cycle still has it trigger the clone attack

swift tinsel
#

Ah, yeah that's what it looks like is the case

vale pine
#

but if the attack is stationary

#

it would only trigger within the "blue" zone

half comet
#

are we crafting neck this szn

vale pine
#

and if the target moves out of it

half comet
#

none of them look good right

vale pine
#

it would not hit

#

with clone attacks

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, that makes sense. It would appear that isn't not stationary, thankfully

steel horizon
#

Just the animation itself is

vale pine
#

hope my paint explained what i mean ^^

swift tinsel
#

I need to find a warrior and have him leap as soon as the phys hit lands

#

really test the distance lol

swift tinsel
half comet
#

is there a list with all items obtainable this sesaon so raid mythic+ together catergorized by slot

edgy zenith
#

gamers, are you sending the rupture on bandit opener or you padding on the guys?

vale pine
#

low impact slots are back, neck, boots, belt, bracers and such

edgy zenith
#

or maybe put up rupture but skip the snd?

half comet
#

ya im just lookin and it seems theres no good neck but we have options for the rest

vale pine
#

there is a good neck from m+

#

but vault roulette

half comet
#

which?

#

crit vers?

swift tinsel
#

Glowtorc

#

Been simming better for me lately bc I'm swimming in mastery

vale pine
#

crit is not bad because we have so little

#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
edgy zenith
#

i htink I'm like 103% unbuffed mastery

#

or something wild

vale pine
#

and the higher item level is good too

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I'm at 101% lol

#

and that's with Trashmaster cloak lol

edgy zenith
#

yeah, same

#

lmao

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Azerokk trinket is a nice mastery injection but very troll to play with lol

vale pine
swift tinsel
alpine wraith
#

azerokk is for true rng enjoyers

#

can go a whole fight without proccing it on dance

swift tinsel
#

I have a weakaura to tell me its Biggest Bonks time when it procs during flag and dance

vale pine
#

i probably keep my enegry drink in 2nd slot of a while

swift tinsel
#

I do not see that message often lol

vale pine
#

need cards, so game pls

edgy zenith
#

how good is that energy drink actually?

#

i should sim it

paper iron
swift tinsel
#

I'm hoping for a Drink or Zee's in next vault

#

even just champ track

edgy zenith
#

i don't wanna do delves

swift tinsel
#

Oh man I love delves

paper iron
#

next time draw the sub rotation guide poggers

vale pine
#

haha

edgy zenith
#

I have a 4/6 Zee's is a drink ever gonna be better?

swift tinsel
#

Possibly

edgy zenith
#

we simming now

#

pray for me

vale pine
edgy zenith
#

i mean realistically, even if it shows up in vault as hero track, I'm never grabbing it over a mythic track piece, no?

vale pine
#

copy pasta below your top gear

#

quick to sim

edgy zenith
#

ty king

bleak night
#

sussy drink is pretty good

vale pine
#

its even better if you are low on hp

edgy zenith
#

it's over

#

i gotta farm delves for trinkets

#

not like this

dry plank
#

8k is nothing

paper iron
#

Do relative dps always on sims, raw numbers are confusing dead

#

my brain still think in early df when i see numbers

low steppe
#

no I was just a goof and changed my keybinds and forgot to put the macro on my stealth bar

edgy zenith
# dry plank 8k is nothing

it's something when I can't get another upgrade from anywhere but like Jastor ring/houseof cards/eye of kezan

#

gearing this season sucks

dry plank
edgy zenith
#

i yearn for the mines

vale pine
crystal bone
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

you need house of cards

#

and the rest seems fairly whatever

#

weapon you can craft

#

some slots you can catalyst

edgy zenith
#

I mean in terms of feel. nothing feels like a meaningful upgrade

vale pine
#

2nd trinket slot has many trinkets you can farm

#

oh fair

#

i think you rly feel the caps

#

but its maybe just my personal opinion, as i am not a fan of the crest caps, valorstone caps and similar

edgy zenith
#

yeah, sitting on 4/6 hero track bc you have to preserve gilded is like

twilit phoenix
#

i think the upgrade and shit will start to feel better in another 2 or 3 resets

edgy zenith
#

super annoying

#

and doesn't feel good

twilit phoenix
#

but the cap is for sure annoying

#

at least i don't feel valorstone capped this season

#

i feel like I was always short on them the last few seasons

#

now I'm just perma 2k

swift tinsel
#

Being gatekept early by crest caps does not feel good

#

let my effort or time investment be my cap plz

lucid jackal
#

They had the philosophy for awhile and people hated it

alpine wraith
#

would make mythic splits a thing

#

it would be very weird

#

if gilded were not capped

#

it is sad but what can we do

swift tinsel
#

People hated not being capped?

#

Hm

edgy zenith
#

well

#

casuals

shy ermine
#

Many people hated artifact power etc

edgy zenith
#

"I can't get into a group because these unemplyed

lucid jackal
#

Artifact power, titanforging

void hound
#

i think the cap is good

lucid jackal
#

These are systems that exist to "incentivize grinding"

#

Noobs hated them

#

They felt "forced"

shy ermine
#

Spamming m+ all day for a full set of titanforges was bis content before I started working 👌

swift tinsel
#

I think that's different though, because crests are deterministic

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

I get that

#

but current gear systems have gear upgrades that are finite, and the friction there of having the gear to upgrade but being gated from being able to is a friction point that I don't feel needs to exist

#

Esp now with how easy gilded are to get

#

or insert crest/valorstone here

lucid jackal
#

Well then what everybody does week 1 is literally grind their enjoyment out of the game by doing like

#

Literally 30+ dungeons week 1 and full upgrade all hero track gear to 6/6

#

And then also be able to make every mythic item instantly 6/6

#

The raids would have to be balanced around this insane level of gear acquisition now given the the majority of the player base

alpine wraith
#

30 dungeons you are missing a 0

#

think we did like 490 maw of souls

lucid jackal
#

Yeah it'd be a gross af number

swift tinsel
#

Realistically, how much of the playerbase does that affect though

alpine wraith
#

it is kinda a double sided blade

hazy breach
#

Like a couple of people from most raids

alpine wraith
#

the top people feel "forced"

hazy breach
#

So most raids are gonna feel bad

#

Because some of their raiders are doing it

#

But they cant

alpine wraith
#

then the others feel sad when they see their titanforged full stack

#

you cant win

warm folio
#

is it a dps loss to macro battle pot into blades?

hazy breach
#

No

#

Thats fine

alpine wraith
#

depends on boss but usually it does not matter

#

like first boss is free as f

hazy breach
#

Sometimes you might want to hold the pot until the next set of cds, but most of the time no

#

Its better to macro it than to forget to use it

swift tinsel
#

I have a flag+pot macro and a naked flag/naked pot binds and swap fight-by-fight if needed, works pretty well

warm folio
#

i dont ever like forget to use it but im struggling with information overload in my opener (especially in m+ when i have to be doing other things too) and was wondering if i can make it just a little easier on myself

orchid gate
#

Is the performance difference between sub and Assa i keys big or equivalent to one another?

steel zinc
#

Why is finality simming for me 20k ahead?

orchid gate
#

Cause im an old Assa player, so sub tends to feel a bit weird 😅

lucid jackal
#

Or korthia

#

Or the maw

#

Or titanforging in legion

#

Or ap in legion and bfa

#

Like, they've tried letting people grind forever for infinite power and people hate it

#

I don't! But people do

quick latch
#

any1 with raidbots premium can sim a all dungeon droptimizer for me pls ❤️

alpine wraith
steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

Rotten in aoe grants FW spread, finality does not so that makes sense

alpine wraith
#

yea rotten in aoe lets you put FW

edgy zenith
#

well you only do the storm trick at 7 targets, no?

hazy breach
#

Ye

edgy zenith
#

so I think in raid you just always use finality

hazy breach
#

Yep

alpine wraith
#

yes

hazy breach
#

Barely any difference either way, but yep

swift tinsel
#

No finality rupture in dance right

#

that's all done with

alpine wraith
#

just have rupture rolling for cds

edgy zenith
#

you don't play around it iirc

swift tinsel
#

good, more globals for bonks

edgy zenith
#

you didn't like pressing rupture twice and praying for tier set proc!?

#

shadow rupture was hype

swift tinsel
#

I still had the tooltip pull from that tier set on my rupture aura until like a month ago lol

edgy zenith
#

lmao

swift tinsel
#

some silly numbers on it back then but good riddance

#

my Nightblade icon is free

vale pine
#

we only did that because of a tier set bonus

#

which did snapshot on top of finality

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I don't miss playing around that

vale pine
#

it was poorly designed

#

but we gave that feedback early

#

so at least it was not something considered problematic

swift tinsel
#

spamming low cp ruptures is always a good design to avoid

glacial hinge
#

can we bind HoC to any cd? maybe blades? or should be earlier cuz of Stech

vale pine
#

house of cards with blades

#

!macro

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.
vale pine
#

^ can macro it too like in the lower of the two

slate marlin
#

do you use coup before or after st?

#

I assume after for cdr

vale pine
#

detailed answer

#

you want to send it asap in your first dance during flag

#

but outside of that both is fine, using coup first can give you more procs so might be prefered

fluid moth
#

Flawlesss form procs, right?

slate marlin
#

ye, coup gives you 5

#

ill stick to using it after if its equal, i prefer the cdr

sweet knot
#

Why is Macro'ing Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols considered bad ?

solemn creek
#

there is a point where u wanna dance but not symbol

hazy breach
#

!cb

wicked joltBOT
#
  • 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.
solemn creek
#

and symbol but not dance

#

and u want cold up for 2nd secret technique in flag window

paper iron
#

rushed normal with guild, 1.20mn kill timers are

pulsar lintel
#

I have insane dmg during the first half of fights but fall off noticeably on longer kill time fights. Is it likely I'm fucking up CDs further in fights or is this just kind of how sub plays?

paper iron
#

hmmm as i said above, it wil depends on your kill timer. But you should not be super low, middle/top of the pack usually

fluid moth
#

I think you can still get cdr if you use it before depending on where you are with your st cooldown

paper iron
#

so u might do some stuff wrong like not using correctly your big cds or little ones between big cds

solemn creek
#

i hate that the pvp neck is so strong XD farming 25k honor for 2 socket takes forever

hazy breach
#

You dont need 25k honor

#

You can buy the bloodgems on AH

solemn creek
#

WHAT

hazy breach
#

You still need like 5k x2 for the actual item

#

But the 3 bloodstones or whatever theyre called can be bought

solemn creek
#

uve just saved me 2h of farm

#

didnt even think this was buyable

half comet
#

do you need a spark for the pvp neck

#

how does it work

hazy breach
#

You buy it for conquest

#

From the vendor

half comet
#

and it just comes pre statted

solemn creek
#

its 500 conquest.. wich takes 2 min to farm

#

the 10k honor is longer

slate marlin
#

theres another craft available next week, think its easier to just craft a neck next week

crude jasper
#

Does anyone have a general list of M+ dungeons best suited for First dance vs Weaponmaster?

alpine wraith
#

first dance is always better imo

crude jasper
#

If you have a chain pulling group, would it be best to fall back and wait then?

#

6 seconds feels like an eternity outside of long walks

hazy breach
#

Then dont bother with it

edgy zenith
#

I just take weaponmaster because I CBA worrying about the out of combat thing

hazy breach
#

Its still gonna be up from RP and after bosses

half comet
#

u dont have to worry about it

#

its still better

#

if you dont ever think abou tit

proven plover
#

I need an ideal out of blades cb wa which counts down from like 5 when you could enter a dance symbols Window so that the 45sec cb cd comes off right before pressing sectec

#

So it will be up 45 sec later for blades window

hazy breach
#

Weaponmaster is effectively useless in any form of aoe and bad on ST

#

TFD does something

crude jasper
#

Aight, thanks yall, sounds like i was overthinking it EXEHuggle

hazy breach
#

Like in a 8 target cleave sim

#

The sim has to be like 16 minutes for weaponmaster to be better than TFD

#

(than the 4 seconds at the start of the fight)

edgy zenith
#

is there a definite answer?

paper iron
#

16mn sim dead

vale pine
#

^

hazy breach
#

You want the cdr

edgy zenith
#

couldn't you fit the second sectech in CDs anyway?

hazy breach
#

You could

#

But you wouldnt fit your unseen blades and possibly a second coup

#

Nor would the flawless form stacks from your coup be up for the second sectech

edgy zenith
#

do they really run out?

#

never noticed

hazy breach
#

They last for 12 seconds

edgy zenith
#

oh yeah

#

it's like 11s ish

#

with good RNG

#

between sectechs

#

that's quite tight

hazy breach
#

No its 13s

#

Because you wont have coup

#

Since you used it before

edgy zenith
#

yeah, i mean normally

#

that's interesting

sweet knot
#

Anyone have any weakaura's to track the timer for flag?

#

Ive seen it on streams but can never find it on Wago

#

Are your raid bosses 8 target constant cleaves

void verge
#

!log

wicked joltBOT
versed swift
quick latch
#

how much mastery% should i have atleast?

molten citrus
#

we don't really aim for any exact %s, just sim gear to see what you should use or target to get from dungeons/raid/etc

#

!stats

wicked joltBOT
#

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste

molten citrus
#

sometimes pieces with no mastery can sim higher if they're higher ilvl etc

quick latch
# molten citrus a lot

i have 64% with 660ilvl , the only 2 items i can replace are belt and boots , i have no clue how i can get up to like 90% like everyone else

#

most of my items are from the bis list

molten citrus
#

"bis" items can be different depending on the rest of your gear

#

they aren't an end all be all

#

i've got 3 pieces with no mastery and i'm at 87% so idk how you're so low but

#

sim your gear

quick latch
#

got like 2 items without mastery

#

like i said belt and boots

soft stump
#

How much of a dps loss is gloomblade

warm marlin
quick latch
warm marlin
#

well I would trust the sim

vale pine
warm marlin
#

but for me for example pvp neck and top ring with heavy mastery sims well

#

which is like 6k mast u dont have

#

stat %s are meaningless tho trust the robot

quick latch
#

yeh i guess i gotta do that

autumn glade
#

You have house of cards and suspicious energy drink, not surprised that sim probably devalues mastery at a certain point cause you'll have that house of cards mastery for every big burst window

#

just trust the sim

soft stump
hazy breach
#

Replicating shadows, after youve swapped improved storm

#

But it would be terrible on anything with any adds

#

And i dont see the point to spec gloomblade to begin with

quick latch
vale pine
#

^

#

its only a pure single target option

soft stump
#

Okay

hazy breach
#

(you still have to be behind the mob to apply find weakness, even with gloomblade)

soft stump
#

Ahhhhh

#

Well then I guess I'll just get good

#

Not used to the be behind lol, I main assassination and I'm just seeing how sub plays out for me

warm folio
paper iron
#

looks like

#

u forgot to press symbol before your second secret tech

warm folio
#

i pressed symbol into eviscerate and still had one supercharger for it no?

paper iron
#

oh yea u did

#

kinda hard to track without an action tracker dead mb

warm folio
#

nw, my mistake. i thought about adding one before i posted it and then got distracted with something else lol

paper iron
#

looks correct to me at a first glance but very hard to say to me without an action tracking, i m not used to

half comet
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

also the pop in combo points

#

but a hot tip for "is this good"

#

use details ability timeline, trufigcd or a weakaura to show your ability use

#

so its is easy to follow what you are doing, looking at button animations and buffs is a very cumbersome way to see rotations

paper iron
#

here in details settings, enable action tracker happy_holiday_pepe

Hi what poisons do you run for sub usually for m+

#

Hello everyone, what would be the second best item to craft after dagger for mythic+

vale pine
#

more cp = more finisher = more damage = more cdr = more dances = more better

hazy breach
#

Whatever is your worst slot really

vale pine
hearty steeple
#

From what i noticed, bracers would be good, most of mythic+ loot are haste and other secondary state

#

At least neck belt …. Have a good stat combo for subt

west tide
#

i finished my pvp neck experience ❤️

#

i crafted boots pvp neck might craft cloak or bracers next idk..

#

or maybe save my gilded crests to max my weapon and use the heroic free craft crest for cloak 🤔

kind bluff
#

My verse has gotten so high that my ring now gives verse instead of mastery

#

So my mastery took a dump

chat is pirate trinket good for sub

remote rapids
#

feel like I'm struggling a bit with Sub in keys, not really rotation-wise I don't think since I play it in ... more just like when to send CDs, basically hold Flag for boss maybe? Everything else send on CD more or less?

hazy breach
#

If the pack isnt going to be dead halfway into your flag

#

You generally just send

#

Cant be holding much

remote rapids
#

Ok, I think I was holding a little too much but I also don't run ML so don't have a great feel for that place either

#

I think I did 2.2 overall, which is pretty low, but not super bad just when hunter does 3mil overall feels bad

any changes for second bis trinket next to house of card with the hotfixes ?

nothing that could net wins over 100000 tries

but you can critically think and see on fights if adds are spawning

you do get lots of stacks on cds anyway tho

Honestly, they added some really cool shit in the df sub rework, but i can't say im particularly satisfied about how it feels overall

Are they buffing assa?

World of Warcraft Forums

With Season 2 now in full swing, and following the Mythic raid being fully cleared, we’ve compiled a major set of tuning changes to address over- and under-performance in all types of group content. We’re planning to make the following adjustments with scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday, March 25 in this region. CLASSES DEATH KNIGHT Fros...

Trinket Tuning | Class Tuning (No changes)

Tl;DR: Direct Damage trinkets got buffed, we can now use a direct damage trinket in our 2nd trinket slot now.

Simulations: > Single Target < | > Dungeon Slice <
Notes: Hotline is now the highest simming second trinket, Eye of Kezan remain better on longer fight lengths.
Other trinkets which are now valuable include: Mega Magnet, Spare Keys, Wax Whistle, Sigil and Honey Buzzer .
Trinket selection for Mythic+ does not change much.

We still always use House of Cards as the main trinket, alternatively Transmitter or Prized Gladiator's Badge.
And the best from the trinkets we have in the second slot.

!sheet is up to date with the changes.

but the sin buffs seem jucy

KS is probably not playable in like 3 bosses in raid

i mean outlaw is pumpin but assa gona be broken with buffs its already decent

Assa assa assa

paper iron
#

Did they buff it btw?

strange rover

yes 3% aurabuff

#

and small st buff

vale pine

3% aura buff and buffs to mut and ambush

#

so likely leads to talent changes too

chat where's the 40% buff to backstab?

paper iron
#

look at this masterpiece

vale pine
#

could be more than flat 3$

hazy breach
#

Should be like 5%

#

More or less, for assa

paper iron
#

and that s without PI, this thing scale with haste kekdog

hazy breach
#

While sub, which is doing pretty much the same ST gets nothing Classic

#

Because we pad on adds

it s always the same

#

outlaw strong early nerf (here the nerf is making ks viable) > buff assa until it s op > nerf assa suddenly and boom sub is meta last pitch of the season

Good thing we got nerfed by 4% before the tier started garf

this balance patch is kinda disappointing on some notes. Devoker buff???? Fire nerf only 3%???? ww still rock ????? assa giga buff not touching sub ????? boomie got actually buffed in aoe not in ST ?????

vestal escarp
#

like, sub could have not eaten all those late ptr nerfs, be moderately cracked like some specs are rn and still have eaten 4% nerfs every 3 weeks

patent crystal
#

and tierset nerf, even though they were a little warranted

tepid trellis

WOW

#

buff on assa not looks great tbh idk

hazy breach

but still as i already said multiples time, sub is in a good state and it s fine, didnt deserve a buff (neither did assa)

Is wrath cleaving or something

So is everyone now thinking assa is going to outsim sub?

Well the damage buff is only to the primary target

oh

you right

it s primary target

i mean i wouldnt mind to play assa if it wasnt such boring doghist spec

Geargrinder is buffed like a lot man

bleak night
#

well

gritty knot
#

Well it is what it is guys. At least we know one things certain. People in this channel are highly intelligent

bleak night
#

the buffs both work against each other in m+

#

since you dont cast wrath at all in elune build

strange rover
#

assa needs to be moved to 0 iq

bleak night
#

so its not a huge buff for them in m+ no

#

they were already very good though

patent surge
#

Assa with deathstalker is pretty intelligent i think

#

Complicated

jaunty umbra

you cast star surge and starfire

yeah they made first 4 bosses with tones of pad so sub looks good for now aswell as outlaw

I think outlaw is underrated and under represented.

But until then probably not

paper iron

this is just saying "we gonna nerf by 3% mages 15 times in a row until it needs buff"

to me

bleak night
#

well

they have to nerf fire slowly

so they can buff frost or arcane to be even better

#

so the mages dont get upset

Trinket Tuning (Live right now)

Class Tuning for other specs (Live with weekly reset)

Basically all damage trinkets are now good, play whichever one you have at the highest ilvl as your second trinket besides House of Cards.
Thats stuff like Magnet/Spare Keys/Honey Buzzer/Wax whistle/Grim Codex.
Zee's Thug hotline is like 0.2% ahead of the others with the bis profile, since it is good on shorter fights. (<5 minutes)
If the fight is really long (6+ minutes) Eye of Kezan is still good.

Bye eye of kezan

I've got heroic zees and HoC. So I'm happy lol

Hit a mob

sour forum
hazy breach
#

It makes the 6 second threat transfer window 60 minutes, not the 30s pre-window

paper iron

and so when your tnak dies, it send all the threat to him and mob evade until they snap and kill him when he s the less prepared

hybrid tree

ah i see

i genuilly hate it sometimes kekman

Adding to the Tricks of the Trade question, does it get cancelled if the tricked target died? Or only if the rogue tha tapplied it dies?

So just mdi this time around

Also they copypasted fearless from riot, the most played specs are banned after day 1

jaunty heath

Well I guess participation is lower when you do both

It’s just prep from mdi into prep for tgp

Which sounds draining

tbh i like that

fearless makes things cooler

Fearless is cool ye

yea but

the issue with the way it s done in wow

is that it s just for the first day

plus with fearless which is funny as fuck

paper iron
#

not the last days

#

so u play it just differently

#

should have been for all stage of the competition and i would have really liked it

bleak night
#

the better teams will just play worse specs day 1 then use the real specs day 2 to push tiebreakers

and the worse teams get fucked
