#

as always not having dynamic routing on failsafe routes does this

keen dome
#

Damn, that's frustrating

tribal blade
#

yeah it was kinda crazy

alpine wraith
#

likely their telecomms engineers just cba'd or get paid only when they need changes

tribal blade
#

the entire city of hong kong wow players didn't know wtf was going on

alpine wraith
#

or just hire consulting when they want to change things and have not many inhouse

tribal blade
#

i got this response from the peer routing company twelve99

alpine wraith
#

btw this also happens a bit in EU with telia

tribal blade
#

damn 😦

alpine wraith
#

cable cuts/stealing is kinda more rampant in asia tho

tribal blade
#

i have to say, i had very good responseivness from this company and my ISP

alpine wraith
#

oh and in africa too

tribal blade
#

blizz.. absolutely nothing

alpine wraith
#

likely blizz deals with these things once in like 5 years

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

these companies deal with this every month

tribal blade
#

it just would have been nice to have some info from them so we knew what was going on exactly

keen dome
#

They might not know, but they should actively try to find out why a demographic can't connect. But, yeah.

tribal blade
#

just basically a "we are aware of a problem affecting players in Asia trying to connect to blizzard games overseas etc etc"

tribal blade
#

i got given a LOT of shit on reddit making a post about it lol

#

basically a "it's not blizz's responsibility" kind of thing

alpine wraith
#

by the time this gets to their L3 or L4 of telecommunications or infra people

keen dome
#

It should be a "We're sorry for this. We are investigating" and then "This situation is outside our hands" etc

alpine wraith
#

it might take a long while

tribal blade
#

but i dunno, an entire city of players not being able to play seems like a big problem to me

alpine wraith
#

mostly anyone you can contact you first have to pray they escalate with the right info

#

otherwise it would just get bounced back

tribal blade
#

i'm not in the industry so i have very little idea how this stuff works though

keen dome
#

Considering they've sacked their entire frontline supprot team and now it's the big microsoft group..

#

So it goes from blizz tools -> outside blizz -> microsoft -> blizz lol

tribal blade
#

WELL good thing is if something similar happens again

#

i'm much better prepared to deal with it

keen dome
#

Nice

tribal blade
#

after spending all this time contacting people

keen dome
#

It's frustrating how internet infrastructure is so delicate.

tribal blade
#

it's a miracle it works as well as it does haha

keen dome
#

Internet access should be a basic human right at this point 'cos it's such an integral part of society.

tribal blade
#

i'm not sure if it's written into law, but it kind of is expected as a basic right in first world places now

#

i remember early internet days losing connection was kind of like a "tough shit" situation

#

now it's a much more serious problem

keen dome
#

Speaking from the UK: Nope. Haha

#

It's still seen as a non-critical utility which is REALLY frustrating.

tribal blade
#

oh damn

#

living in a big city it's different

keen dome
#

There was a big push to get it made free and accessible but the leader of Labour at the time got branded as a 'Broadband communist'

#

which is such a funny term

tribal blade
#

LOL broadband communism interesting

#

i forget is the labour party the equivalent of the democrats

keen dome
#

But it should be free and accessible and a basic part of our society that is available to all 'cos it's so integral to everything.

keen dome
tribal blade
#

yeah british politics is wild

#

so different from the US

keen dome
#

I used to be a librarian and the amount of people who'd use, even abck in 2016 - 2017 library computers for job hunting / writnig cvs / etc.

#

It is such a critical thing, and not having access to it is a huge challenge if you are trying to find a soltuion in life.

#

Probably 5 - 10 people a day. Different people.

tribal blade
#

yeah it's very important

#

ok now i get why i was also having some issues accessing certain websites the past few days too

keen dome
#

Makes sense, yeah, if the couldn't route to it

glass jasper
#

Cuz i wanna say, that atleast here in Sweden it is accessible to everyone, atleast in it's cheapest form. This would be about 6Euro a month or something like that.

keen dome
#

When you don't have much money, why do you have to spend on something so critical to finding work / education?

#

Why is it a private enterprise when it's so critical to society?

glass jasper
#

So i feel that we are in the kind of situation that if you can afford a unit that uses internet, you can also affort internet

fallow nimbus
#

Because greed rules humanity

glass jasper
#

I mean, I get your point, but I don't feel that the internet cost is the biggest of all our problems

keen dome
glass jasper
#

And yea, lets not get too political.

#

Lets get back to hating on TFD 😄

keen dome
#

I like TFD. it's a cool talent idea. Just wish it was a bit faster coming up

glass jasper
#

Yea the concept is awesome it just needs to be consistant and faster as you say

#

Make sure the timer actually starts when it should, and maybe 4 sec timer instead of 6?

#

Would tbh be happy with it as long as the timer started when it should consistantly

keen dome
#

4s would be nice, yeah.

#

I really hope we see some kind of talent rework on a lot of our boring, or dull talents sooner than later.

#

Perforated Veins, Deeper Daggers or w/e it's called, Weapon Master, etc.

#

I continue to think Sub is in a really good spot. We're viable, we're fun to play. We just need some more love.

vale pine
keen dome
#

4s would be a lot more consistent. it's a good suggestion

vale pine
#

just remove the requirement all together

#

if its too good make the bonus smaller

violet shuttle
#

Is it really worth it to play tfd? I feel like most of the time you won't get any benefit from it

vale pine
#

it is worth in most keys

violet shuttle
#

oh ok

vale pine
#

you don't need to get a lot of benefits for it to be worth

violet shuttle
#

do you acutally play around it?

vale pine
#

because competing talents are weak

#

you would rarely play around it

violet shuttle
#

i see alright

vale pine
#

motly just think of it as a passive "good if you get it" bonus

keen dome
#

It's the funny situation of "It's good because eveything else is worse!"

#

Which I think is really funny

violet shuttle
#

another thing: is it correct to sometimes just send symbols without shadow dance just for secret technique?

hollow spear
#

You can do that once in a boss fight

#

Man, there's nothing better than a boss fight ending right after your clones on 2nd sectec hit

violet shuttle
#

Thanks! 🙂

muted birch
#

but you cant compare the price to other countries if you calculate it on that countries money

muted birch
vale pine
#

yes

#

means it does not happen a lot

#

you basically don't have infinite supply of shadow dance

muted birch
#

means i have to go back to training 🥲

#

sub is hard

vale pine
#

as it cdr's a lot slower

muted birch
#

like really

vale pine
#

so it can happen that your charge count of dance is too low

#

ofc. only between 90 sec cooldowns

muted birch
#

i kinda follow the rules, doing my burst windows every 90s

#

but my dps fall really low

#

there is ocassion to drop 1 dance + Symbols

#

but I dont know, got house of cards etc

#

mby I have way too much Mastery since im at around 18k

#

and only around 12k vers

jaunty heath
#

No such thing

honest jewel
#

Does sub surpass assa in m+? Decided to try sub first time yesterday since i feelt limited in assa.

muted birch
#

I might be doing something wrong, when we get OHB

#

ill show some logs

jaunty heath
#

If you follow the basic cadence ur doing fine, you’ll find out where you can find an extra dance through cdr over time

muted birch
#

sub actually brings me joy while playingh

#

like genuine joy

jaunty heath
#

Cooldowns - 2 Dances - Cooldownds - 1 Dance - Cooldown - 2 Dances - Cooldowns - Dance

#

Just repeat this

#

Over and over

muted birch
#

mhm

#

ok

jaunty heath
#

Obviously cooldowns means you dance twice

muted birch
#

somone wrote that if I have 1 charge of dance and around 35s to another when I get my cds back its fine

jaunty heath
#

Ye this happens automatically tho if you follow this pattern

muted birch
#

Need to get the macro for symbols

#

it never happened before

jaunty heath
#

Make sure you supercharge secret tech in every dance and that’s about it for starters

muted birch
#

but yesterday, well double symbols coz of fat fingers 🥲

jaunty heath
#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

muted birch
#

thx

#

Is there any macro worth using that has Shadow dance as part of combination ? I have like 3 of those but they might be old

#

and i do have good memory, but short

#

#showtooltip Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shadowstrike

found this one

honest jewel
#

I can give you a macro i made. But i started playing sub yesterday so not sure of valid haha

jaunty heath
#

No macros with SD recommended currently

muted birch
#

gotcha

jaunty heath
#

There is this one !bs

#

Wtf

muted birch
#

!bs

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

honest jewel
#

/cast shadow dance
/castsequence reset=5 Symbols of Death, null

So this is dumb?

muted birch
#

From what Fuu and others say

jaunty heath
#

But I would rather bind backstab than using it

muted birch
#

its better to not have Symbols tagged

#

about that one

jaunty heath
#

In cooldownds you dance back to back while you don’t use sod there

muted birch
#

is it worth going for it ?

jaunty heath
#

You wait for secret tech to come back up

jaunty heath
muted birch
#

in S1 i used to optimize around ST

jaunty heath
#

In my opinion it’s better to just bind backstab

muted birch
#

with 1st without CB and the 2nd with CB

#

and before that ofc the backstab

jaunty heath
#

But you can certainly use the macro

muted birch
#

but now dunno why I find it hard to adapt the backstab in SD

jaunty heath
#

How so?

muted birch
#

gonna try with the SD macro

jaunty heath
#

Just backstab as first gcd in dance

muted birch
#

Really I cant find answer 😅

jaunty heath
#

That’s it

muted birch
#

I used to do it np

#

now its like black magic

jaunty heath
#

Okay I see

#

Remember pressing the macro once only casts shadow dance

#

Need to press it twice for backstab

muted birch
#

ok

#

It will be temporrary

#

untill I work my brain around it, dunno why but after 1st raid in this season

#

it felt like I completly forgot how to sub

honest jewel
#

I'm just as confused. Just have to put time in i guess

jaunty heath
#

Subs barrier to entry is pretty high

muted birch
#

aye it is

#

but once you get the hang of it

jaunty heath
#

But after that barrier ur chilling

muted birch
#

its hella fun

#

guess ill just go again on alt

#

and learn it while chilling

still quartz
#

you dont necessarily need to bs in dance

muted birch
#

ye im weird, but It did the work xD

winter python
muted birch
#

i felt like i did something wrong

#

the stupid feeling you're missing something important

#

mby its not same as it was in DF with macabre stacks

#

and I do feel like my crit is way too low

#

since im sitting at 19% (4335 c.rating)

#

and now I changed some stuff and I have 68% mastery which rounds around 13.800 rating and 16% vers with 12.488

jaunty heath
#

Rn

muted birch
#

yes yes

#

I Know

jaunty heath
muted birch
#

Shadowstrike -> Flag -> Rup -> Dance -> BS and ST

jaunty heath
#

Rather than build muscle memory and destroy it after

muted birch
#

yup

#

Dunno why tho I cant do it

#

since I was doing it in S1

#

I just added 1 button

#

which was ST without cold blood

#

to the bar

#

Can I ditch Circe if I have those 2

muted birch
#

MY GOODNES

#

it worked

#

it works perfectly Thanks !

sly shore
#

not even close

#

both rings need to be like 670+ easily

iron obsidian
#

i would say prob either one at myth track would

sly shore
#

one 670 ring

#

basically a 670 ring gives the same stats as circes does

muted birch
#

so it has to be myth track

#

atleast

#

2 macros basicly erased my problem

vale pine
#

the thing with circlet is

#

it has more stats but spread between multiple

#

you can target stats better with a regular ring

alpine wraith
#

and a funny thing

#

if you have mastery proics

#

circe is just best anyway

vale pine
#

~665-670 is where a regular ring with good stats becomes good

alpine wraith
#

because of fathomdweller

#

so blessed grip and mechanocore/drink are funny things that make it bis

vale pine
#

drink is probably best

#

if you are below the hp value

alpine wraith
#

when grip or drink/core proc

#

you get like 400 extra stats from circe

#

between stormbringer and windsinger

fringe palm
#

What does fathomdweller do again?

alpine wraith
#

increase stats of the other citrines depending on mastery

#

one thing that does not work is house of cards with it tho

#

but other things do work

keen dome
#

As hacha said, ye.

keen dome
final holly
#

I imagine if HoC interacted with it it would be actually bis

#

we'd never be free

alpine wraith
#

why do you want to be free big mastery

#

big D

muted birch
#

Priory works with it ?

alpine wraith
#

no idea havent tried

#

likely can ask any assa people but it is unlikely

ebon oyster
#

you are wondering if you press trinket your gem changes to diff stat?

alpine wraith
#

no it will just give more stats

#

but i think on uses are barred from it

ebon oyster
#

i think it sets value when you change zone

#

whenever you get a loading screen it sets its value

#

thought you were wondering whether you can change stat because you can snapshot it i remember doing that last season

#

but this part that you're talking about ive never tested thumbsup

runic mountain
#

Do you wait for some stacks for shadow technique in opener, or just send it?

#

As sin rogue, I'm used to waiting for stuff before sending cds :/

tribal blade
runic mountain
#

kk thx

tribal blade
#

you do not need to stop pressing buttons to fill every gcd during the opener and cds

runic mountain
#

hmm?

#

i been practicing at a dummy for a bit, trying to get the opener down

#

but sometimes i find i dont have double finishers

tribal blade
#

get the cd sequence down and that's a big part of sub rogue learnt 😉

runic mountain
#

ya, seems fun

narrow shadow
runic mountain
#

well, the cd part at dummies :p ..will see the mini cd and whatnot in between soon enuff

tribal blade
#

single dances between cds are very similar to cd dances

#

the main 2nd part of learning sub would be learning how much you can send before your next cd set to make sure you have enough dance+symbols+sectec for it

runic mountain
#

Right, single dance is just dance+symbols then ST?

tribal blade
#

yeah dance>symbols>backstab>sectec

runic mountain
#

oh yes, backstab first for that magore thing

#

thx

tribal blade
#

if you have coup up you can dance>symbols>backstab>coup>strike>sectec

runic mountain
#

ty - once i get the cd sequence down, i'll try to figure out when is the latest i need to stop pressing stuff. and then try my hand in lfr and normal

tribal blade
#

general rule you can follow is to just full stop sending anything ~30 secs before your next cd set

#

it's better to err on the side of caution with that

runic mountain
tribal blade
#

when you get more comfortable you can start sending more

runic mountain
#

ty, thats a good guideline

runic mountain
#

oh, then its to clear the coup

tribal blade
#

it's more so that during your solo dances you don't need the cdr on coup like you need it during cds

runic mountain
#

i misunderstood him

tribal blade
#

so you can coup first

#

which gives you more flawless stacks (15% more finisher dmg)

runic mountain
#

can i completely ignore trickster stuff first?

tribal blade
#

most of how trickster works in ST is pretty basic, it kinda plays itself

runic mountain
#

ok cool

tribal blade
#

as a general rule you can just send coup as soon as you proc it

runic mountain
#

yep, great

tribal blade
#

just make sure your target is fazed

#

it's a very small min max to hold coup for upcoming cds

#

but it's not worth doing if you're learning sub

runic mountain
#

got it

#

ya, feels quite complicated compared to sin - especially with the new sin changes

#

had to find keybinds and whatnot and try understand all these cds, hah

tribal blade
#

haha yeah it's not very simple and no hand holding

#

cds coming off cd at different rates

#

and trying to line up so many different things

#

not being able to send anything on cd

runic mountain
#

yep

#

there's no real prio here also, right? ...like i can switch between targets?

tribal blade
#

yeah you can pretty much freely swap targets

#

obviously your fazed target will net you more dps

#

but it's not the end of the world to swap like it is for DS sin

runic mountain
#

how do u get fazed again, i closed my wow for now, lol

#

right, that's the main reason im trying to learn - for the target swappin

tribal blade
#

it's from proccing unseen blade

#

which procs off backstab and shadowstrike

runic mountain
#

ah right

tribal blade
#

you also apply fazed with secret technique

runic mountain
#

i see

#

okay thx a lot! you been very helpful. off for now, and back to dummy later tonight :p

tribal blade
#

awesome, good luck and have fun!

3.3 is high currently

#

its low near the end

alpine wraith
#

big zeross

crystal bone
#

i just need a 12 cinder and flood

#

then we onto 13's

#

so far im liking sub everwhere except cinder lol

#

i assume we hold dance(s) for every add spawn on i'pa?

#

or are adds a ranged dps problem, mostly

tribal blade
#

usually the ranged are better equipped to deal with them mostly

alpine wraith
#

you can change to cripping

crystal bone
#

ahh good idea

alpine wraith
#

if the are no slows

tribal blade
#

cinderbrew has been a massive struggle as sub in the aoe department

crystal bone
#

i feel like its probably a wipe if he doesnt die after 2 min lol

tribal blade
#

but i've been doing a lot of dam since reset so i'm curious to see if it'll be better

crystal bone
#

yeah i had a dev evoker gapping me pretty hard last night

alpine wraith
#

sub depends a lot on comp

crystal bone
#

but i was near double him on bosses

alpine wraith
#

we gain quite a bit from lots of diff buffs

#

and if classes have asynchronous cds to us the better

crystal bone
#

yeah it was a non shaman group Sadge

alpine wraith
#

2 min specs are best because we always use cds first

crystal bone
#

it was fire mage dev me

alpine wraith
#

then they get theirs back

tribal blade
#

yeah playing without a shammy is truly tragic

alpine wraith
#

yea that is pain

tribal blade
#

i try to prio signing up for groups that don't have a shammy

#

but the people i'm gonna be pushing with, we're taking it easy until the .5 patch

#

then we plan to seriously push

crystal bone
#

what is our "god comp" if u had to wager a guess

#

sub ele boomie?

tribal blade
#

it honestly doesn't really matter until the .5 patch

alpine wraith
#

something like tank warr resto druid ww ele

tribal blade
#

nah not sub

alpine wraith
#

or boomie mw

crystal bone
#

no i mean the comp we want

alpine wraith
#

idk

crystal bone
#

as sub

tribal blade
#

oh right

alpine wraith
#

no idea tbh

swift tinsel
#

Been seeing a fair bit of boomie, fire mage, uhdk

tribal blade
#

yeah you want any flavor of shammy

#

the rest is w/e you want

crystal bone
#

i like druid also for vers

#

boomie handles the aoe better, as well

jaunty umbra
#

i see uhdk alts in almost every single key now omegalul

swift tinsel
#

Boomie enh mw vdh has felt pretty great

#

As sub

crystal bone
#

yeah mw for phys buff too

tribal blade
#

the ideal raid buff comp you would want is something like veng dh, boomy, sham dps, sub, MW

crystal bone
#

mw, boomie, sub, enh/ele, any tank, i guess warr

#

AP buff

#

or dh

#

for magic buff

alpine wraith
#

warr and dh are kinda sameish

tribal blade
#

but i think healer priest is better tbh

alpine wraith
#

but dh i think people like more

tribal blade
#

priests just bring so much to groups

swift tinsel
#

Yeah can swap mw for disc and it’s cozy

tribal blade
#

5% fort buff AND better shroud AND mass dispel

#

AND pi

crystal bone
#

tfw priest pi's me by default and i have to say don't pi me

#

9 times out of 10 they pi me out of dance

tribal blade
#

yeah you shouldn't be getting PI no matter what lol

crystal bone
#

and yea that

swift tinsel
#

I’ve actually had a good time with hpal too if you swap the boomie for spriest

tribal blade
#

the only situation would be if the other 2 dps don't have cds and you are in full cds

#

then it's actually sort of worth PIing sub

#

but i have a feeling you might get more out of PIing the tank

strange pond
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
crystal bone
#

i think vdh loves haste

tribal blade
#

yeah it was a very common thing during S2 when i was title pushing

#

when you had sub+spriest+aug

#

and then the spriest is like "who tf do i PI"

#

i'd be like "unironically PI the tank"

paper iron
#

i didnt would be like

#

i was litteraly like that

#

pi the gdrood it s better

tribal blade
#

yeah esp if they were in incarn

#

it was actually pretty good

paper iron
#

i was having some PI's in pure single target

#

cuz it was a bit better than gdrood

#

but it was whatever

tribal blade
#

yeah kinda w/e at that point

paper iron
#

s2 pushing i swear was so bad

tribal blade
#

haha yeah it was super rough

#

that is my proudest title

paper iron
#

like i knew i couldnt get 31 freehold with me in the group, it was not possible, 32 even more so

#

but i got a 30

tribal blade
#

nice!

paper iron
#

it was so hard

tribal blade
#

yeah i barely made title

#

like just barely

paper iron
#

like it was the only season i knew, even if i was the greatest rogue alive (which is not the case), i couldnt do key level exodia was doing

tribal blade
#

literally sitting in lfg for 2-3 hours at a time with no invites

paper iron
#

just because i did no damage, no mass barrier OR no stam buff

#

fun fact graham

#

i had the decline count addon

tribal blade
#

freehold also required you to do the crazy staircase pulls

paper iron
#

the whole .5 patch

tribal blade
#

only ranged could do

#

lol how many declines

alpine wraith
#

going for 4 digits decline?

paper iron
#

i had like 12k request for about 80 invites

alpine wraith
#

damn even got to 5 digit

paper iron
#

i have a screenshot somewhere of that in my old ssd

tribal blade
#

LOL

#

yeah sounds about right

#

my guildies vividly remember that time

paper iron
#

gladly i had my evoker friend who get me into the premade sometimes when the mage or the priest was away

#

they loved me

tribal blade
#

because i would sit in my guild disc just fuming for hours

paper iron
#

cuz i was here doing cheap shot spam

alpine wraith
#

it is even more op now

#

6 secs stun

paper iron
#

oh i almost got kicked from my guild

#

cuz i was pissing them

#

talking about it

tribal blade
#

yeah that season made me really tighten up my rotation

#

because i knew if i wanted to make it i had to be undeniable

#

and do a metric fuckton of dam

#

so people would actually be willing to take a rogue

#

some keys i would out dps the mage

#

mages like 100 points higher in IO than me

#

made me mad

paper iron
#

yea obviously u could outdps the mage

#

but he was missing pi

#

and anyway

hazy breach

it was the sp pumping, the mage was just a int buff + mass barrier + fucktons of cc + lust

tribal blade
#

oh you think monk is better than druid? interesting

#

i would think the vers buff is better

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Vers is like +2.5% and monk is like +3%, but ye its similar

#

Dh is worse though

tribal blade
#

ahhh ok gotcha

alpine wraith
#

monk does more dmg too

paper iron
#

it was a great spec as in damage, but not better than sp mage aug combo, by like 5% i would say and didnt bring anything so

alpine wraith
#

although druid has some cool things it can do

paper iron
#

😔

#

sad times

#

hmonk protwar boomie elecham subrogue

#

dream comp

#

aint gonna lie

tribal blade
#

i'm gonna be pushing with my ele/enhance from my guild

#

and our tank is swapping to vdh

#

we're gonna be helping him gear this weekend

paper iron
#

vdh is so good

#

when they gonna start to nerf it for m+

tribal blade
#

i expect to watch him flop over quite a few times lol

paper iron
#

it s gonna be like rogue

#

never meta for 10 expansions again

tribal blade
#

i wonder if we'll see any sub buffs in the next tuning pass

#

what do you think @hazy breach

hazy breach
#

Possible

#

But i wouldnt bet on it

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't be surprised if we saw none tbh

crystal bone
#

judging by the last tuning pass we are kind of in the spot they want everyone at

#

or maybe just slightly below it

tribal blade
#

unfortunately it's the mid spot

#

that's the rough spot to be in

alpine wraith
#

dont ask for buffs this is not the first rondo

hazy breach
#

Idk how we look in keys on average

alpine wraith
#

they will buff deathstalker again

#

we are mid but not horrible

tribal blade
#

i've been blasting in the keys i've done this reset

crystal bone
#

deathstalker

tribal blade
#

not like insane damage

tribal blade
#

but decent

alpine wraith
#

maybe they will change tfd to actually activate every x finishers

crystal bone
#

i honestly might just send assa in cinder, sub in the other 7 dungeons lol

hazy breach
#

The worst timeline would be BP buffs

alpine wraith
#

and more builder buffs

#

need 100% crit dmg

hazy breach
#

Because then deathstalker starts using it on St

alpine wraith
#

only 70% is not enough

#

AHAHA

tribal blade
#

i don't know how they tune sub tbh

crystal bone
#

bp in single target would be terrifying christ

alpine wraith
#

true bp for a DM stack on deathstalker

tribal blade
#

i think just an aura buff would be best probably

hazy breach
#

No not for dm

alpine wraith
#

and you even activate the hero talent using witness

#

because it also gives crit and crit dmg

#

UNREAL

hazy breach
#

Just over eviscerate when you dont have DN

tribal blade
#

that would be the most cursed gameplay

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

every day i dream with different ideas to solve the slop we have for our middle row of talents

#

like making WM work with everything

#

or PV/lingering with finishers

#

goremaw cleaving actually with nimble and buffing finishers instead of giving energy

wild vine
#

Finality: dance edition

alpine wraith
#

or make subterfuge usable as sub

#

just a +1 sec to dance per point

#

would be enough

#

like it used to be

wild vine
#

Based

cunning notch
#

Do u guys use Symbols after consuming both Shadow Dances for energy or do u hold till SD is back ?

alpine wraith
#

or just make first dance after exiting combat OR using vanish

#

so we can have one on pull then at 1:30 and at 3 it is back

keen dome
#

Yeah, having it work as it is but also triggered on vanish would be neat, too

alpine wraith
#

then at 4:30 we would use second charge then at 6 it is back

#

but blizz hates sub so maybe

#

they buff backstab

#

blizz pov

keen dome
#

400% buff to backstab

alpine wraith
#

actually make goremaw cleave and have the ap scaling of legion 800% lets gooo

hazy breach
alpine wraith
hazy breach
#

They wanted to lower the power of vanish as a dps cd

keen dome
#

I think it would be neat, which is all I was saying.

tribal blade
#

do something about backstab for the love of god

alpine wraith
#

then forgot subterfuge exists and ass and outlaw got things

#

tied to it

tribal blade
#

everyone hates backstab

alpine wraith
#

but sub got told

#

UNLUCKY

#

i would not mind if PV worked every x stabs you get an empowered finisher

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

but it has to buff builders¿¿??

keen dome
#

Then they would've technically done something with backstab dracthyr_kek

alpine wraith
#

or lingering being after dance your finishers do x extra shadow dmg

alpine wraith
#

but it is builders??¿¿¿¿

hazy breach
#

Pv is almost shadow focus levels of damage

tribal blade
#

yeah PV is horrendous

alpine wraith
#

or wm only working on st builders

tribal blade
#

horrible

keen dome
#

I think there is only one talent I dislike more than PV.

hazy breach
#

Last i checked it was worth 0.2% in sims

alpine wraith
#

yea but imagine if it was every x stabs you buff a finisher

tribal blade
#

i can't believe they actually reworked PV and it was just as useless

alpine wraith
#

suddenly it is decent

#

they made rotten worse too

keen dome
tribal blade
#

yeah they need to fully lean into finishers for sub huh

alpine wraith
#

yea or rupture

#

or both

keen dome
#

Yeah, true.

alpine wraith
#

i mean we are the spec that has ZERO points that ONLY affect evis

#

or bp

copper vapor
#

hello, does blind not work on the cast of bomb tonk 1st pack of Mechagon?

alpine wraith
#

literally ZERO

keen dome
#

More buffing finishers yes please

alpine wraith
copper vapor
#

that does make sense

#

ty

alpine wraith
#

mechanical mobs are not blindable

tribal blade
rustic pond
#

every x back stab you get 2/3 sec of shadow dance

keen dome
#

The big adds on Mythic Vexie are Mechanical, iirc, and they can be blinded

alpine wraith
#

why because who needs consistency on this game

#

diff expansion diff rules

#

we also had some bosses that were considered normal mobs

#

and you could do funny things to them

keen dome
#

Yeah, haha

paper iron
#

X hot streaks they get 5s combust or something

#

i dont even know i havent read any talents on my mage but i m always under combust / hypotermia

#

it s pretty insane

#

10 flamestrikes in a row

#

fun fun

#

can do same with pyrro

alpine wraith
#

we had that problem for a bit with dance

#

in legion and sl

#

where you had so much uptime it became kinda a wash

#

and in bfa if you didnt have dark shadow

paper iron
#

yea i mean in SL we had no highs no lows

#

it was just

#

outlaw profile

swift tinsel
#

I'm more on team Fixed Dance CD w/ 2 charges

paper iron
#

but in SL outlaw had some highs and some lows

jaunty heath
#

Fmage has been perma combust for a while now

glass jasper
#

Struggling on rogue to break 3m overall most dungeons... pulling this as MM-hunter in 640 gear

swift tinsel
#

perma combust with infinite mobility

glass jasper
#

Life is unfair

paper iron
#

imagine if they were using skb

#

pretty sure u could reach some insane 80% bust or so

jaunty heath
#

Well they don’t use skb because they get enough cdr

swift tinsel
#

IB, PF, scorch, crazy combust uptime

paper iron
#

their tier set also

jaunty heath
#

What would you need skb for

#

Also

paper iron
#

can we talk about mage tier set?

jaunty heath
#

Skb is kill

#

Can we talk about a lot of tier sets

swift tinsel
#

#MakeRuptureNightbladeAgain

paper iron
#

they have 15% more damage on combust?

rustic pond
#

well, what i had in mind was more some things to spice up the down time than having it up all the time, like sindragosa mechanics or divine hammer. More like you have some procs during your down time where you can have mini burst. If i had to buff sub that's what i would like to see rather than just numbers going up

paper iron
#

100% of the time

#

not even a coinflip

#

losing stacks or idk bullshit

#

they just have 15% more dam

#

we should have 16 stacks of tset everytime we press blades

#

to balance it

tribal blade
#

sub is not really a proc based spec in general

#

i think that's what a lot of people like about the spec

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I'm cool with ShT/refunds being the major rng/proc to play with

paper iron
#

every specs have some rng today, and it s fine for most, i think blizzard is kinda doing cool tuning for rng stuff

#

then u have uhdk in key

#

they proc their blood thing thing, they delete the dungeon

alpine wraith
#

seems they need big ramp

#

so that is why they are so good on higher keys

swift tinsel
#

I think they mean the blood beast that procs randomly

#

that can do absurd damage

alpine wraith
#

yea from san layin

#

but if it procs when you have big festermight

paper iron
#

they re kinda a dot spec, so like every dot spec they do better the more pack lives

alpine wraith
#

it will do a lot more

hazy breach
#

Good pull - 40M
Bad pull - 20M

paper iron
#

if i m not mistaken

hazy breach
#

Unholy pov

swift tinsel
#

even further beyond

paper iron
#

i know so little about dk dps to be honest

alpine wraith
#

how does the blood beast even work

#

yea

swift tinsel
#

it stores shadow damage

hazy breach
#

Like wod ring

swift tinsel
#

then explodes

alpine wraith
#

ah it just gets dmg then goes bomba

swift tinsel
#

and if it happens during your ramp with big might stacks/trinkets/etc

paper iron
#

and i m kinda worried about dk spot

#

cuz it s gonna get buff for raid for sure, it s trash in raid

swift tinsel
#

you do infinite damage

paper iron
#

but if it also means buff in m+

#

eta gg

#

frost or unholy, both

alpine wraith
#

well dk and rogue are kinda in this weird spot for raid

paper iron
#

i think rogue lost a lot of value in raid for later bosses

#

with the last patch

#

it s still good, but idk, why not bringing another devoker right now?

alpine wraith
#

well rogue lost a lot of value when dmg is not huge from bosses

#

like mug zee wuld be good for rogue

#

if people knew atro stacks

#

but also other specs do a lot of dmg

#

and the "execute" part of rogue is nonexistant in 2 specs

paper iron
#

sprocket 1day

#

pure single target

swift tinsel
#

Edge of Niiiiiiiiight

alpine wraith
#

and in the other it gets rinsed by real execute specs

#

like doing 400k+ less dps than warr

#

when getting 2 deathmarks on execute+bl

#

vs execute execute mortal strike

paper iron
#

yea when they announced hero talent, i was really hopping for some eon of night

#

but guess we got deathstalker shit

swift tinsel
#

I want it in our spec tree

alpine wraith
#

FATAL INTENT

#

KEEEEEEKW

swift tinsel
#

lmaooooo

alpine wraith
#

imagine if that shit was good

paper iron
#

which feels ok to play as assa, but as sub i dont wanna touch this tree ever

swift tinsel
#

Slightly Ticklish Intent

crystal bone
#

hunter stonks stonk

alpine wraith
#

#

maybe 1 guy just carrying

#

#

paper iron
#

yea i wouldnt trust hunters on this graphic

#

cuz

#

it s low sample

alpine wraith
#

yea it is 1 guy

#

AHAHAHA

#

get rolled EZ hunters

paper iron
#

well it s low sample anyway cuz it s 1day

jaunty umbra
#

mm can get insane rng iirc

paper iron
#

if i move it to 1 week

#

tell me

alpine wraith
#

yea dark ranger can go brrrrrrrr

paper iron
#

assa needed ST buff

alpine wraith
#

that guy just went brrrrrr

paper iron
#

like sure it needed a ST buff, but so does sub then

alpine wraith
#

arrow was very black indeed

paper iron
#

i ve so many questions about last patch

alpine wraith
#

btw sub burst spec vs mm

#

guess who did 500k more dps?

#

mfer was doing our PEAK burst for 40 secs straight

paper iron
#

check our burst

alpine wraith
#

?¿¿

paper iron
#

vs devoker

#

under lust

#

gg

alpine wraith
#

they are lower

#

this is rank 1

paper iron
#

they peak lower i guess

#

but they maintain it for so long

runic mountain
#

Is this correct?

warm marlin
#

the windwalker vs sub sim dmg chart is the most depressing to me

#

they burst the same damage as sub but don't do tank dps for 40s between cds

alpine wraith
#

why do you have signet as sub

#

that trinket underperforms quite a bit

runic mountain
#

dont have another on use 😦

alpine wraith
#

get a pvp badge or hoc if possible

runic mountain
#

once i get the cds down, i think i'll go for that pvp one

#

ya will run lfr and normal later for hoc chance

alpine wraith
#

ye you will notice the diff

slate marlin
acoustic lodge
#

What's the best way to get the pvp trinket?

runic mountain
#

ah yea, one of the first 2, right?

frosty thunder
#

Get a boost

alpine wraith
#

on your second dance you use symbols too early

#

you want to use symbols as you sec tech or on the finisher before

runic mountain
#

i kinda lose focus in the 2nd half o fthe cd, when i need to press dance and symbols separately

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

yea takes a bit to get used to

slate marlin
#

Idealy after u press blades its the 1st spell u use, out of the very first dance in blades it can be 1stblr 2nd

runic mountain
#

ah ok, so hold symbols until sectec is off cd?

acoustic lodge
slate marlin
#

i think ahsran was the fastest flr me, just run to boss and kill it was like 2 minutes to complete

acoustic lodge
#

Bet, that's what I'll do!

hazy breach
#

Shouldnt take too long

#

But its nice because its fully deterministic, once you get the points you get the trinket, no rng or chances

slate marlin
#

Why cant blizzard make more than 1 90 second trinket

#

Its either hoc or pvp

hazy breach
#

Tbf there is another one, the delve one

#

It just gives haste

acoustic lodge
#

I'm beyond over doing delve's lol

slate marlin
#

Same

runic mountain
#

Better?

paper iron
#

haste on a 90s poggers

paper iron
runic mountain
#

ah

hazy breach
#

Im only seeing 6 spells in the first dance

#

There should be 8

paper iron
#

oh yea i didnt count

runic mountain
#

Yea, i han't got the speed yet, im still slow on pressing globals

#

just trying to remember the order, lol

#

but thx, i didnt actually know there should be 8

hazy breach
#

Dance is 8 seconds long

runic mountain
#

this is complicated, coming from sin, hah

paper iron
#

you ll get it, it looks like you have the basics at least

#

i ve seen way way worse in here

#

like this yersteday

#

i m still laughing at it

alpine wraith
#

a classic

runic mountain
#

havnt tried in a raid yet tho, thats where it'll get messy, haha - still dummying

hazy breach
#

If you just do the opener correctly, and then do the opener correctly again every 90s

#

Youre like 85% there

runic mountain
#

kk thx - will try in lfr shortly 😅

#

hopefully rewarded with a hoc for my efforts

small juniper
#

dont get ur hopes up

tribal blade
#

so just burn in that muscle memory

runic mountain
#

True, thx. Good thing at least is that im familiar with the raid bosses, so at least dont need to worry about learning mechanics - just about focusing on my rotation

haughty mural
crystal bone
#

probably not

#

barely anyone has killed mythic sprocket

#

heroic probably a better sample size

runic mountain
#

its the action tracker from details

#

enable it in options -> Plugins

trail ginkgo
#

Thanks

alpine wraith
#

i still find funny how MM hunter just appears and gaps everyone by highrolling his intestines out

white hazel
#

when exactly should i hold coup de grace and do bp as finisher instead?

alpine wraith
#

when cds are around 20 secs or less away

#

it is around a 0.3% win overall or so

white hazel
#

ok thanks!

alpine wraith
#

also for the dances in between you can use coup first if you have fw and fazed

#

but otherwise you sec tech first

onyx parcel
#

Wait, am I behind the times? I thought we did an evis before the first ST for the macabre stack.

white hazel
#

ive been following the 20s rule for the most part but wanted to make sure

alpine wraith
#

no we dont do that you want sec tech on cd as soon as possible

onyx parcel
#

I've been doing strike flag evis dance BS rupture strike ST

crystal bone
#

then coup?

alpine wraith
#

yea otherwise you dont get 2 in blades

onyx parcel
#

Ah shit I need to fix that then

crystal bone
#

thats what i figured

hard marsh
#

is the remnant of darkness trinket complete waste? looks to be either that one in myth track or socket from my vault

alpine wraith
#

it is decent

#

but has high variance

#

best you can do is sim it

#

basically if it procs alright you can get like 13k+ agi on your second set of cds

#

but if it stacks to much and procs before

#

you get almost nothing

hard marsh
#

shame it has no stats

alpine wraith
#

yea that is same as azerokk it is very feast or famine

#

procs before cds

#

= bye dps

runic mountain
#

shadow dance doesnt have a pandemic or something, right? So should just press it when it falls off in opener for 2nd one, right?

hazy breach
#

You cant press dance while dance is up

runic mountain
#

oh 😮

#

hah, didnt realise that

twilit phoenix
#

Don’t do that king

paper iron
#

rupture in dance, such a early df thing

I just started rogue for the first time really this patch... I guarantee it isn't the only thing I'm doing wrong 😂

#

Shadow Strike flag rupture blades into ... why is the dk doing so much dmg ...???

alpine wraith
#

superior race

oak grotto
#

Is it ever worth sending SnD by itself if we do a big pull at the start, so I wont use Eviscerate?

limber relic
#

Dont think you're auto attack dmg is gonna be worth if its that big of a pull

alpine wraith
#

you will use coup eventually anyway

warm marlin
dry belfry
#

little question, in m+ sometime when i vanish and directly after shadowstrike my first dance is loading. Is it a way to force this to happen always or is just a bug?

hazy breach
#

Not that we know of no

#

Where did it happens specifically?

limpid sage
#

Was it figured out if sectec “hitscans” when you press it or if the delayed hits are based on the position of you?

hazy breach
#

Theres a couple of mobs where it can happen decently often, like the void guys in rookery

alpine wraith
#

it has been figured out for a while normal movement does not affect it a lot

#

but blinks can make mobs not take the copies dmg

#

if they dip

#

the are is not huge tho

#

so things like knockbacks can also krangle it

hazy breach
#

Idk dont think so

#

You can cast it on the dog in workshop when he is jumping

#

And it will still hit

limpid sage
hazy breach
#

When the second part goes through

limpid sage
#

Aight ty just had to be sure

#

If your target dies in the midst of it, does it still go through for the rest?

#

Sorry for barrage of questions

hazy breach
#

Fairly sure no

alpine wraith

#

hey i have a quick question, does this talent work only after a blind, or it is for every ennemy "weak" ?

#

might be Fog or smoke in english

hazy breach
#

its fazed

#

The debuff from unseen blade, the proc on backstab

chrome lake
#

hi guys i see the priory signet is low tier but it sims better than other dungeon trinkets for me is that usual?

spark plover
#

thx

hazy breach
#

Get the pvp badge trinket Surebud

chrome lake
hazy breach
#

You can join a crate farm group or do the pvp weeklies

#

Shouldnt take long

spark plover
#

Eleem i have another question, recently got some dagger and can afford to have some with enchant Authority of the depth and Authority of Radiant power ;
is it ok to run with only one depth , or it is always by pair ?

alpine wraith
#

one is better for st the other aoe

#

1 and 1 is a midway

spark plover
#

ok, there is no question about geting 2 is cool because they refresh each

#

ok cool , thx hachadino

alpine wraith
#

they dont refresh really they stack

#

so depths would proc the same just do double dmg

#

same with radiance

#

would do double dmg and give double the stats but proc the same

#

also anyone on mug zee is the gaol break thing important so now you dont need to always send people that can break off?

#

or you just keep sending monks/locks anyway

spark plover
#

sadly im only on stix so dont know

mint swift
#

How’s sub this raid btw
Not like output but feel

#

Any fights that align well with its CDs?

alpine wraith
#

it is good just nothing crazy

#

we are quite useful on rick and one armed

#

but also so are ww monks

#

one thing we do better is we can avoid some mechanics to make our dmg more reliable

#

with vanish or evasion

rustic pond
#

what can we avoid with vanish ?

alpine wraith
#

fixate from bombs on one armed bandit

spark plover
#

beam on rik

slate lantern
rustic pond
#

hmm ok nice

alpine wraith
#

just do it very fast so people dont get confused

alpine wraith
#

you can risk losing a cast of flag

#

if you delay too much

#

ideally you have always dances for reels

#

and some cds for adds little or big

slate lantern
#

yeah ive only done it once (shitter guild) and my parse/ad damage was so bad cause i was just sending on cd but wasnt lining up with adds

mint swift
alpine wraith
#

so kill time might be 2 mins earlier LUL

hallow sigil
alpine wraith
#

you dont get stunned in rik

#

if you evasion his slam thingy

hallow sigil
alpine wraith
#

and look at him

hallow sigil
#

Wish I knew that yesterday

alpine wraith
#

as human just can also just feint and cleanse it

#

just remember to feint or you get 1 tapped

hallow sigil
#

Then again we killed on my worst pull ever where I got mcd twice and sucked a pillar on 2 add sets for a gray parse so I don't think that would change much OMEGAKEKW

alpine wraith
#

well im benched so at least you got to live the boss

earnest reef
#

is sub or sin more secondary stats dependent? Started to play both and want to craft my second and third slots. M+ focused.

alpine wraith
#

sub does not like haste

#

assa does not mind any stat really

#

if you want to craft for both mastery crit or mastery vers work fine

rustic geyser
#

if you go mastery vers, it both moonlights as sub/sin, as well as being good for m+ and pvp

brittle echo

dense lichen
fleet acorn
#

why we need to play no shuriken tornado as sub? xd

alpine wraith
#

it is annoying to use and the win is not that much

fleet acorn
#

blizzard destroying more and more the spec

lucid jackal
#

?

alpine wraith
#

dont think i encountered almost anyone that liked tornado

#

congratulations you are the first

hazy breach
#

Play tornado if you want to

strange chasm
#

I honestly think sub is in great shape

#

maybe just needs some number adjust

alpine wraith
#

yea like sub in bfa right

strange chasm
#

but its very good design wise

vagrant thorn
#

back in DF whenever I seamlessly integreted it with perfection into dance it felt amazing and did big damage, but it took me a long time to get used to it 😛

alpine wraith
#

this time only 8% behind instead of 20 at least

#

but they might buff assa again

dense lichen
alpine wraith
#

so sub might also get one

hazy breach
#

Literally just use it outside of cds for extra cdr

languid trench
#

hi guys im new to sub the only spec i play before was outlaw haha you use cold bold on which spell ?

alpine wraith
#

yea extra cdr and putting ruptures

vagrant thorn
#

what do you need to give up for it?

alpine wraith
#

cold blood with secret technique

#

you have to use it instead of veiltouched

vagrant thorn
#

not a very exciting talent, whats supposed to be the overall dps loss? 😛

#

youre gonna tell me to sim it arent you

tepid trellis
alpine wraith
#

well it is not a loss always

#

but also fuck tornado

#

should get this treatment
