If you really care that much about being the best spec every patch learn every class

lucid jackal
#

if you vanish when they are picking a target itll go thru ur vanish

#

u have to be targeted to redirect

#

every tier every expac has been "unbalanced

shrewd lantern
#

You cant vanish being chosen for ball on stix

#

can you

#

@vale pine not sure if intentional but the sheet is linking to an old KiR sim from 4 days ago (there's a DPS mismatch between it and what's listed in the sheet itself)

ill check later after raid

possible that i did a copy/paste mistake

Dont we get a spark this week got the catup from last week but not a spark part from the weekly 5 dungeons. Anyone else got the issue?

Also it was kind of buggy and wasn’t giving the spark to some people. I had to do an lfr and a boss dropped it

guys do you play around tier set at all or nah

#

i think when i do it hurt my dps overall but idk

swift tinsel
#

Nope

#

unless its at the end of a pull in m+

#

and I'm gonna send on the next pack

#

or on Vexie right before a maintenance phase

paper iron
#

This tier set is more "hey i ve stacks it s w/e" and then "hey i lost stacks it sucks". You kinda never happy it s not a big deal happy_holiday_pepe

swift tinsel
#

yeah I don't track it at all bc I do the same thing with 1 stack that I do with 8

#

I think I have it tied to my Bonk WA that triggers when I have 8 stacks and an Azerokk proc in blades lol

#

but that's just for fun

clever delta
#

oh yeah that hd icons are diff

clever delta
swift tinsel
#

I use the Clean Mechagon edition icons and they're pretty nice

some look slightly more cartoony but its w/e

yeah

wicked urchin

I haven't tracked it and I don't plan on it at any point

Unless somehow something changes and it becomes super important

Lookin good

#

hey im used to play dance with symbols macro , sometimes i waste like 3 seconds of active symbols time just for more comfort , should i avoid it and is it realy that big of a dps loss?

quaint lodge
#

Large dps loss

#

Our burst windows are incredibly concentrated, so perfect play becomes incredibly important in those windows

quick latch
#

yeh i guess i gotta get used to without macro

odd sandal
#

guys what do you press in this situation (Single Target)? is going into SD+ SoD -> Sec tech and then use proc correct or you do it the other way arround?

quick latch
#

sectec always more prio i think

unique nest
#

Hey, is Kezan still the best passive trinket for sub, like the guide says ?

odd sandal
wicked urchin

#

I wouldn't sue my builders

#

lawyers are costly

wicked urchin
#

You still need SoD separate though

dense lichen
hazy breach
#

Depends on how long the fight is

hazy breach
#

If the fight is short goonsquad is good

hollow spear
#

because of heroism?

wicked urchin
#

Only casts symbols on first cast and not second

hazy breach
#

Yes the trinket gets better with BL

hollow spear
#

probably scales best with gear

#

kind of the anti kezan

wicked urchin
#

Probably a few cases where it's still not ideal but I use it because I run into issues sometimes with tendinitis

hollow spear
#

with this macro I am unsure how you manage to get back to back dances without ruining your supercharged 2nd sectec

hollow spear
#

A lot of times you cast something like 2+ eviscerates after your 2nd dance in flag

#

before you get off your 2nd sectec

#

So if you macro symbols to your dance, you would then supercharge these eviscerates and have no stacks left for sectec

#

Which is really bad, because that 2nd sectec is a huge portion of your burst window

lyric patrol
#

U can macro them but also keep them seperate for those situations...thats what i do

wicked urchin
#

Ignore the no backstabs here but the castsequence reset covers until the second dance

#

It'll never cast symbols twice

chrome quiver
#

with the buffs to the trinkets are there some of them that are decent untill you get HoC and pacemaker?

molten citrus
clever delta
#

its like 0,9% thats kinda a lot

#

fucking hate it

wicked urchin
#

looking at it it seems fine but i'd happily change it if i'm missing something

delicate wind
wicked urchin
delicate wind
#

For the record mine aren’t bound together. Just want to understand

hollow spear
#

You want to stack your damage multipliers with each other

delicate wind
#

Got it so basically you just end up with symbols window going on after both dances end and blades

hollow spear
#

So two seconds of dance inside of blades are much more valuable than outside

delicate wind
#

Thanks. Helpful context

#

After the two dance burst window you want to refresh rupture before entering the third dance/symbols as sectec comes back up again? Generally that’s how I feel like the timing works out.

hollow spear
#

During your opener you sometimes get away with not doing that if you used symbols pre pull

delicate wind
#

Then one more whenever it makes sense and hold again for blades window.

#

2in 2out 2in 1out is what I remember the guide saying

hollow spear
#

Yes

delicate wind
#

I wasn’t doing that perfect so that can prob help increase my burst window a little bit. Thanks

hollow spear
#

I'm still wondering if there's some approach to avoid dropping your 8 stacks before going into your dance after opener or if that's pissing away damage

wicked urchin
#

Does the opener I posted look fine aside from not backstabbing?

hollow spear
delicate wind
#

Only thing I’d question is why not cold blood the first sectec?

#

Not saying it’s wrong just curious why hold the cd there

hollow spear
#

You'll probably still run into situations where a macro is subpar

autumn glade
wicked urchin
#

You cold blood second sectec now

Always changing arg lol

Damn zeross 666 meanwhile I'm 662

is cauldron of carnage not logging properly for us?

I'm waiting for assa if it overtake or not as I have priory trinket second week in row

left ledge
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
wicked urchin
#

that's what someone here was saying

forest moss
#

ohh

wicked urchin
#

can fix it by logging yourself

hollow spear
#

With the limited data we have, the latest logs seem to favour sin

#

But there's still the fights where sub is inherently better

#

Like Rik or OAB

#

Probably Gally

wicked urchin
#

I'm just committing at this point

#

I won't be sent back to ass prison

forest moss
#

thanks!

hollow spear
#

I might play sin on Mugzee

#

Depending on timers

hazy breach
#

Idk after nerfs

#

We'll see,

hollow spear
#

But I'm far away from that, so balance might change until then

hazy breach
#

Sub is atleast very helpful on bandit

wicked urchin
#

My guild is cringe and we don't do loot council so I'm only allowed sub loot

hazy breach
#

Because somebody needs to nuke the adds at 1:50

wicked urchin
#

get me out of this hell

hazy breach
#

And thats either monks or sub (or unholy to some extent, but not as good as the others)

hollow spear
west tide
#

do we gotta hold a lil for those adds

hollow spear
#

Subs mini burst also helps on the other adds

hazy breach
#

Bandit is 99.9999999% how much damage you can do to adds

hollow spear
#

Logs on sprocket are pro sin rn

#

Kinda funny, considering it still sims lower

#

Do we have to hold, which makes performance worse?

dry plank
#

vexie trinket is not bad to play with 2 on use?

hi my mate is asking if he should use 2 passive trinkets when its simms the highest with? he has 3 on use trinkets but the highest dps is with the 2 passives

Also does sub run gloom atm

I wish we had purple backstab as baseline

left ledge
#

Well they made gloom viable once

keen dome
#

It would fix everything wrong with sub: not enough purple

left ledge
#

But they fucked up

#

And made it our entire damage

#

Rotten,

Ah ok

Subtlety is so dead

Sub is absolutely fine

left ledge
#

Sub is so dead let’s reroll to Aug

steel zinc
#

kekw

left ledge
#

If we made every sub rogue reroll to Aug

steel zinc
#

if we didnt get the 5% sectech nerf and 2 more stacks back on our tier we would be really fine spot

left ledge
#

Nothing would happen

steel zinc
#

not even topping just really fine

left ledge
#

Yeah the nerfs were weird

mint swift
#

Jesus Christ Fotm people are hopeless

left ledge
#

Absolutely unnecessary but oh well

keen dome
#

Sub could do 1 damage and I would still play it

steel zinc
#

idk assa rogue in raid is so easy now ngl bm hunter is more complex

mint swift
#

“Sub is dead”
My brother in Christ

steel zinc
#

like legit assa has 5 buttons in st

steel zinc
#

so sub is the more og spec now

mint swift
#

If they were both ranged

#

Would be debatable

steel zinc
#

bro assa is braindead

tidal python
#

Assa probably presses more buttons than sub in ST no

mint swift
#

I know

keen dome
#

the important thing to note is that ret is more dead than sub apperently

keen dome
#

so sub is actually winning

steel zinc
#

nice bait

full wyvern
#

You dont even FoK in single target for sin now

mint swift
#

I played both assassinations and BM this tier

#

And I’m not saying Assa is hard

#

It really isn’t

#

Just that BM is easier

steel zinc
#

i cant that bm hunter is even after the rework easier

tidal python
#

Sub hasn't really been hard either since shadowdust was removed

steel zinc
#

go lockenstock with pullback and try to do your cds. Better to move them^^

mint swift
#

Packleader made M+ BM actually require a tiny drop of brainpower

hazy breach
#

I wouldnt say sub is easy, but its definitely way easier than people think

#

People tend to overthink a bunch of stuff

mint swift
#

Because you have to play around it completely to do good dps

keen dome
#

Sub has complexities but I don't think it's hard. You just have to learn the rules, learn the cooldowns, win prizes.

vestal escarp

I think i miss transmitter

Hardest part of sub is not neuron activating and presssing dance symbols 15 seconds before your cds

#

You guys think seaforium or hotline for mythic rik tonight?

mint swift
#

Just remove it already

#

Our rupture gameplay is we rupture and then keep rupture up

mint swift

Like y does a burst spec have a DoT

#

Feels so wrong that’s it’s right

plush roost

#

it made more sense when we had sanguinary vein

It just doesn’t fit with the

#

Wait

I appreciate rupture on sub, nothing goes crazy like 6-7 ruptures out on a pack and you enter your cds

DS is dead this patch

#

Like 5% behind

mint swift
#

Won’t be fucking missed

#

Also I love how you consider ‘dead’ as 5%

#

Fucking dark ranger for BM is like

#

30% behind at minimum

#

For M+

plush roost
#

Well thats ST im referring to but yeah 5% in raid is massive for something that is annoying to play around

mint swift
#

Ah fair

#

Dr is also prolly fucking 30% behind in raid tbf

#

It’s so shut hahaha

#

*shit

#

Fuck it imma get it up and sim it

#

Also PL is p good

versed swift
mint swift
#

The aoe from the bear is like 10% overall in M+

#

And that’s not even considering it’s melee or cleave

versed swift
#

guess its a play both on different pulls and just see what feels better

#

long as it dies who cares really

mint swift
#

And of fucking course it’s melee snapshots

#

Also charrend

easy to do Mechanics which helps for casual guild
Love the class fantasy
Easy to play

i still dont see why these two are on the same spec

sly shore

and yet I press the button

mint swift
#

I’d change my pfp to something silly but I love how my friend drew my char

shrewd lantern
#

why give the spec with an aoe spender

#

flurry

plush roost
#

Eh i think flurry being good at 5+ was fine, 7+ kinds creeps towards bps territory yknow?

#

Like having a good cleave was kinda cool

tidal python
#

Yeah it makes sense, let the spec cleave on its own when the number of targets is low enough, otherwise use the "real" AoE abilities

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.

mint swift

@plush roost

#

Ok so

#

It isn't quite 30%

But it's still a lot

using this for m+ vs the glow ST or nah

you drop shadow focus for imp sstorm

only in pure pure ST

Oi, squad, two things;

-Is it worth macroing stuff like Symbols and Dance?
-Do you ever send symbols without Dance?

sly shore
#

no

#

yes

ember gate
#

and the tl;dr reasoning?

marble ledge
#

Does anyone else like using CB on Coup de Grace for ST or is that strictly worse than Sectech in all scenarios

sly shore
#

you don't always symbols and dance together

ember gate
#

obviously symbols is big dam so, yeah use? but like

sly shore
#

you delay symbols

hazy breach
#

In your burst sequence you dont want to use them at the same time

shrewd shadow
#

thought i was doin better on the dummies but this proves other wise

sly shore
#

and there are times where you don't have enough cdr to use dance

#

so you sod with sectech

hazy breach
#

Because then you would either A. Not supercharge secret or B. Have to delay dance

ember gate
sly shore
#

sure

#

check the 2nd dance in cd's too

hazy breach

But like, the burst Cds are really important

i would mostly be worried about things happening out of your control

But its hard

#

Ye

modest delta

TOP doesnt feel bad for sin?

tribal blade
#

like someone dies in a pull and you have to wait for them to get rezzed

#

or you die and lose your stacks

#

it's gg

paper iron
tribal blade
#

i think sub right now just needs a way to spread rupture faster

#

however blizz would see fit for that to happen

hazy breach
#

Or no spread of rupture

bleak night
#

replicating replicating shadows

paper iron
#

delete rupture

tribal blade
#

what do you think they could replace rupture spreading with?

bleak night
#

honestly kinda yeah just delete rupture

paper iron
#

make shadowstrike apply a shadowbleed damage

#

gg

lucid jackal
#

I think sub rupture is p chill rn idk

swift tinsel
#

I don't think they need to replace it with anything

paper iron
#

yea i like rupture as sub tbh

swift tinsel
#

bring back nightblade, 1 target only but have bp funnel damage into it if they're gonna keep pushing bp

hazy breach
#

I think rupture should have some more interaction with the kit, or atleast talents that do

paper iron
#

funnel is gone forever

#

yea i agree

hazy breach
#

Like maybe you can only rupture one target, but every tick gives SHT stacks

swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't mind that

paper iron
#

cuz now like you have finality (which sux enough to not play arround it) and that s it

swift tinsel
#

kinda like old HaT

paper iron
#

rest is fully passiv

swift tinsel
#

since it was time-limited

fallen fable
#

so you think most of key have to be played as sin

fallen fable
#

and not sub

paper iron
#

haste sub is on the workbench

fallen fable
#

i think sub is more consistant for ST PRIO on hight key

paper iron
fallen fable
#

what u think

swift tinsel
#

theres a reason I still use the nightblade icon

paper iron
swift tinsel
#

imo spreading is not fun, limit 1 again

#

but iterate and make it interesting

#

like Eleem suggested, give it interaction with SHT

#

or Edge of Night functionality

paper iron
#

btw we dont talk enough about it

swift tinsel
#

idk

hazy breach
#

Could be every crit gives SHT and still be spreadable too

#

Idk

#

Just something

paper iron
#

but sht rework and shadowcraft

#

so good ideas

#

old sht was... wasting cp for fun

swift tinsel
#

Shadowstrike refreshes <30% and adds damage amp

#

stacking

#

something

#

anything

#

delete FW

lucid jackal
#

Maybe lower the duration and make it shadow damage too

hazy breach
#

Well its like a replacement for dark brew right

swift tinsel

personally I'd like to see all damage in dance be shadow, and outside of it only BS/storm and Evisc as phys

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.

#

why is it a damage increase to wait to use shadowblades until after your first builder?

#

i understand we have premed but why is using blades early a damage loss?

twilit phoenix
#

shadow blades doesn't really buff anything important if you cast it before your first sec tech

#

the sec tech clones don't spawn until like a second after you cast it

ornate heron
#

ah okay thank you

twilit phoenix
#

so if you blades right after sectech, you cover it

ornate heron
#

you blades before your sec tech dont you?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter, you can do either

ornate heron
#

dance / symbols / backstab / blades +trinket / ssec tec?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter if its sectec > blade or blades>sectech

ornate heron
#

ahh okok

#

but the reason for the delayed blades is to cover the end of the second dance

#

got it

warm marlin
#

1 pull of 70 pulls

#

my flag is not off cd

#

on pull

hazy breach
#

So youll be getting full cp either way

#

So if you delay it you'll get that global with a full cp builder later on (or buffing an eviscerate)

Is there a reason why it's suggested not to macro dance/symbols and CB/sectec? I've noticed on logs that the symbol presses are coming up as incorrect

hazy breach

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.
jaunty heath
#

The symbol presses are correct if you mean them being delayed to shadow dance

#

You dance back to back in cd but keep symbols to supercharge your secret tech

hazy breach
#

For symbols your goal is to make sure it always supercharges secret technique, which if you are macroing them together you will not do for your second dance in cooldowns unless you delay your second shadow dance

#

Which is not good as youre wasting blades&trinket uptimes

hushed cedar
#

Ahhh okay, ive got two keybinds. one for CB/sectec and one with just sectec

hazy breach
#

Ye thats fine

#

Macroing in this sense refers to macroing them together and then forgetting and not caring about cb

hushed cedar
#

is that the same reason symbols is not macros with dance? since sometimes you need to use symbols without dance?

hazy breach
#

We literally explained it right above

exotic solstice
#

😄

jaunty heath
#

Ya also makes no sense to have symbols and dance macro and then have a seperate one like you do with secret tech

#

These two just hit regular

#

Also start simplifying sod it’s gonna make your life so much easier

#

Sod = secret tech

#

Don’t care about pandemic nothing

hazy breach
#

Idk to me having dance and symbols bound seperately as well as a macro to use them together just adds a bind for no reason, but if it floats your boat go ahead

jaunty heath
#

Ye that’s what I mean idk if I worded myself badly

#

For those two it does absolutely make no sense to have a macro and regular binds

hushed cedar
#

my thought is that it doesn't have a GCD so therefore saving a button press. I'm by no means good at Sub though and that's why i'm asking questions

hazy breach
#

Again sure, if you think saving that button press is worth having an entirely seperate bind then go ahead

#

To me that is just making things more complicated for no reason

But you don’t wanna have them just macroed together in case you start dance with full cps already

Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.

hazy breach
#

Yes, if youre using it but also have another bind where its just dancing regularly for like half the time where you want to eviscerate or secret technique as your first global in dance

#

Or use that one and press it like armin said

#

Like the reason theres not a ton of recommended macros isnt because we hate macros and think theyre dumb, its because they dont really make anything easier

#

Coldblood on Coup De Grace just seems straight up better in ST

can someone confirm

I’ll say tho I tried doing that macro - I’ll just say use backstab
