Also I only do m+ so the only gear i get is from dungeons, Ive noticed there really isnt much mast/vers gear this season

lilac stag
#
  1. Feral is good
  2. Sub is not consistent dmg. Cds pop. Outside of them it’s healer dps.
#

you should pvp for the the 700 conq badge if you’re not raiding

keen path
#

Yeah I had that but I just got a champion track house of cards from the timewalking quest ahah xD

#

My sim for dungeon slice tho is close to 3.6mil but my feral mates is like 3.3 and hes still hard stomping everyone in dungeons?

#

We are 3k rating atm if that helps, like we arent super bad or anything xD

odd sandal
#

Do you guys plan to swap for assa after buffs for mythic prog? im kinda not sure if its worthwhile but on logs they look a bit better

lilac stag
#

Floodgate first pull I usually end up around 10million.

keen path
#

Yeah I burst like 11mil on big packs but it quickly drops down to like 6 or 7

alpine wraith
#

yea it is how sub works

#

we spike twice on sec techs

Or if all your gear drops favor assa, play it.

#

Even on single target this patch ive noticed Im not miles ahead of everyone else on bosses, and falling off pretty quickly

keen path
#

Last season boss fights were my jam xD

vocal crypt
#

if you go Assa you are someting around 4,5 - 5 mio overall

odd sandal

#

Nahh I always play sub, i love the spec played it since like cata

strange chasm
#

Interesting that sin is doing more damage on OAB than sub now....

vocal crypt
#

i hate playing Assa its the biggest shit ive ever played but in 3 Dungeons you have to if you dont want to be an affix for your group 😄

keen path
#

I play with 2 mates and tbh dmg hasnt really stopped us pushing, its more us doing something silly and caking the key

wild hornet
#

Gg

keen path
#

We got pretty high in shadowlands with my mate playing feral and they literally had 0 aoe buttons xD it was almost like he was griefing every key

vocal crypt
lilac stag
keen path
#

We are at 3k rating atm and we dont have any issues with time on +12s. We arent looking to push like top 0.1% or anything

vocal crypt
#

I would love to just stick on sub for every key but it feels so shit when you come out of your Floodgate with 3,6 mio overall and the next DD sits there with over 4,6 mio

vocal crypt
keen path
#

I'll always play sub, I was just wondering if its a me being bad thing or not xD

I hope we will get a buff with 11.5 since our raidperformance and m+ performance falls behind (pray) 🙏

#

I kinda wish they would make nimble flurry reduced dmg beyond 8 so we didnt have to use BP and keep with that fantasy but thats just me

vocal crypt
vocal crypt
keen path
#

Yeah thats another option

#

Or have flawless fall off less xD Ive noticed if that falls of for like 2 seconds ur damage drops a fair bit xD

#

So why would my sim dmg be so much higher than others but in reality theyre doing more? Is it just the timing of the sim ends in a burst window or something?

vocal crypt
keen path
#

Makes sense but wouldnt that mean technically the gear its saying is better could be wrong?

lilac stag
#

In dslice assa doesn’t sim sudden demise properly (if memory serves right) and sub doesn’t sim TFD properly.

#

So take it with a pinch of pjsalt

keen path
#

Ahhh of course, its probably got TFD for every pull aye?

lilac stag
#

It has it for 1 the entire dungeon

keen path
#

Ohhhh so it technically should be higher? xD

#

This isn't helping my case xD ahahah

lilac stag
#

In both missing bits, they should be higher

#

assa takes advantage of good chain pulling and just keeps going

vocal crypt
#

i hate it when the mob has 1% health and the tank is chaning the next group

jaunty heath
#

do you send second dance in shadowblades without a finisher inbetween to keep stacks?

#

or do you dance before pressing symbols again i guess you should do that instead

keen path
#

I think sometimes there is a finisher in between and it would drop the winning streak stacks

#

I dunno i dont really watch the winning streak stacks tbh

jaunty heath
#

but you could dance without symbols for the second dance to do one finisher before activating second symbols right which solves the problem

#

but idk if thats a loss of any sort

keen path
#

Yeah i dont watch the stacks I just let it do its thing I dont think its much of a difference to worry about

#

again im not looking to be the best or anything

#

So something like that i wouldnt bother with too much, but i dont think thats going to give me and extra 10% across a dungeon

Probably jastor, you have way more opportunities to get myth track legs vs getting another jastor in vault or winning it in raid (unless your guild assigns loot and you’ll get it soonish)

Is sectec based off of me? Or the mob I'm hitting? Area wise?

The mob

kind bluff
#

Then yea just missing some nimble

#

Damn

hazy breach
#

It being around the mob kinda sucks sometimes

#

Like on carnage, you can cleave nimble

#

But sectech wont ever cleave because theyre too far away

what can you do

F_, when a warrior goes straight to prison

midnight geyser
#

Using SOD to buff sectec

#

Using cold blood

silent ruin
#

Does gloomblade work with nimble ?

limber relic
# midnight geyser Are you

For the most part yes. I did have CB macro'd to sectec but took it off recently to try and maximize it with the 2nd one in the opener

#

I honestly think my opener is mostly fine I feel like i fall off between CDs

midnight geyser
#

That could be it

#

Yk your second sectec

#

In big windows

#

Are you ensuring it’s within your 2 gcd from symbols

limber relic
#

Yeah it should look like this mainly right? (Forgot the CB here though)

midnight geyser
#

Looks fine assuming you symboled pre pull

#

What about the second sectec

limber relic
#

This was the 2nd...again fucked up CB. Got to used to it being macro'd

crude path
#

By using symbols prepull, is that with the intention of the supercharged combo points or for to have the damage buff + the rotten active during opener before SD?

alpine wraith
#

superchargers

hazy breach
#

Supercharged points

alpine wraith
#

the rotten things are so minimal

#

and even then on raid i recommend using finality

hazy breach
#

Its not right before pull

alpine wraith
#

yea just use sod as you ress

hazy breach
#

The superchargers last forever

#

So you use them like 30s+ before

crude path
#

Oh perfect that’s what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure. Follow up, I see guides saying use evis as first finisher and then rupture as the flagellation starter before going into SD. Do I have it backwards?

vale pine
#

you either

#

strike-flag-rupture-dance-backstab-secret-...

#

or

#

strike-flag-evis-vanish-strike-rupture-dance-backstab-secret

#

both is perfectly fine in the opener

crude path
#

I see

#

I think I might be pressing flag too close to SB

vale pine
#

you will flag always early

#

the diffrence is just if you vanish-strike or not

vocal crypt
#

how much earlier ?

vale pine
#

well its basically

#

flag-cooldowns

#

or well flag-finish-cooldowns

crude path
#

I’ve basically been hitting flag-finisher-cooldowns

vocal crypt
#

Yes that the same for me. Flag, finisher, cooldowns

limber relic
#

Hmmmm been delaying mine then...I've been strike > rup > van > strike > flag > CDs

vale pine
#

you can use flag earlier

#

but its fine

#

the above should still be okay

crude path
#

So instead of getting one finisher before CD’s after flag, I can fit two?

vale pine
#

the diffrence is timing

#

doing strike-flag-rupture-dance

#

is faster, and it means you have a easier time fitting cooldowns on many fights or on packs in m+

#

doing a vanish is fine but delays your cooldown use for 2 gcds

crude path
#

I see. I’ve been using vanish in between 1st & 2nd dance to bring Secret Technique up faster

#

I suppose that’s a misplay

cold trellis
#

how do u use 2min cd trinket if u dont have cards or similar?

#

on cd or every 3 min?

tepid trellis
#

between the first 2 dances, yeah thats not great, you relly wanna back 2 back dance during flag

tepid trellis
#

for every 2nd set of cds

cold trellis
#

tthx

lucid jackal
#

Nothing is bad for sub on that fight, it's just sin is 50x better than the other 2 specs on the fight

#

U hold DPS in p1 so P1 damage kinda doesn't matter. Spatter hits the goons in the prison that flurry can't hit. You get 2 cooldowns on sin, both of which being in execute, one of which being with lust

#

It's just such an insane sin fight

tepid trellis
#

best way to explain it is, Sub is better in p1, Assa is better in p2 but with how the fight is now how good you are in p1 doesent matter, only dmg that really matters is sub 40%

lucid jackal
#

Theres a lot of fights where "it doesnt matter what u play"
more so than what most people assume

#

But mugzee is like, such an obvious sin fight

#

Sin is just, so, so much better than the other 2 on mugzee

tepid trellis
#

it wont make or break mug'zee prog on which one you decide to play

delicate wind
#

that's just for mythic, ya? heroic doesnt really matter i can sub life it

tepid trellis

but assa does help more than sub will

lucid jackal

Mythic convo yeh

lucid jackal
#

It kinda will

#

guilds die to enrage still

tepid trellis
#

no

lucid jackal
#

U need P2 damage

tepid trellis
#

it will not

lucid jackal
#

Sub is doing 2.1m to mugzee intermission onwards

#

Sin is doing like 2.7m

tepid trellis
#

if people dont die

#

you wont wipe to enrage

lucid jackal
#

Yeah and if everybody plays perfect they'd be in liquid

tepid trellis
#

then why bring a rogue at all?

lucid jackal
#

Sin is also very good at goon damage throughout the fight

tepid trellis
#

you want more p2 dmg?

#

bring arms

lucid jackal
#

Arms can't help with goon damage

#

Thats why

tepid trellis
#

bruh we hold goon dmg

#

they die to fast

#

Anyone experiencing awkward first dance talent reset timings?

There’s times where I’m out of combat, back into stealth and a solid extra 5-6 seconds pass before the buff itself starts its internal countdown of another 6 seconds before awarding you the buff

I’m half tempted to race change NE just to have meld as an option in an attempt to have control of the timer (which I have no idea it will actually work)

hoary lotus
#

Most of the time it bugs and resets the countdown it's due to group combat, sometime if I vanish it gives me first dance instantly, other times it does nothing

is it real that Zee's is the best? (5 min sim)

Trickster is way ahead in every way so, it's the only real choice

oblique chasm
#

ahh okay thx mate 🙂

#

just started playing sub like 2 days ago and all sides show talents for both but was wondering which one would be better 😄

wet lava
#

I noticed when u pop blades and go into rotation w house of cards macroed into blades, it cuts it really clost getting 2 the second cold blood secret tech, if house falls off while secret tech is going through its animations do you lose the dmg?

alpine wraith
#

it is not that close

#

remember to use blades a bit after sec tech just in case

hazy breach
#

It shouldnt be close

#

Youre probably delaying your dance until sectech is ready rather than immediately when its ready if i had to guess

wet lava
#

wait, ik the rotation is backstab first then blades sech tech, but u use blades after sech tech 2?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter if you use it before or after sectech

#

How much worse is deathstalker sub...

#

hi guys, i seem to keep having symbols cap at max stacks for 7-10 seconds around the 3m mark, as by that time i'd have to hold my dance for flag. should i be doing a symbols+sec tech around that point without dance?

crimson meteor
#

you should be chaining the 2nd dance into the 1st dance especially with 4p so you don't lose your winning streak stacks, right?

crimson meteor

are you suppose to get off gallywix to hit adds? or is his hitbox big enough whre nimble fury just works? Also, do you need to position a certain way for it to work?

hazy breach
#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals of during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

Thank you @hazy breach, @short radish , and @wicked jolt xD. I will take a look at this when I have a moment. I was looking at LLORGs IO and saw that my flags, blades, dances were all lining up with the othe rogues, but I was doing waaay less damage so maybe it is indeed the 8 globals that is fucking my damage.

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.

Guys i want to ask you , is there a way in a castsequence macro that starts with Shadowstrike , to maybe have it to cast backstab is shadowstrike is not avaialbe( due to me being in combat?

shadoowstrike doesnt have cd

so why wouldnt it be avaiable

hasty mirage
#

needs to be in stealth/shadow dance

muted birch
#

well you start

#

fight with stealth

#

and you got your normal action bar

#

and stealth onme

#

its actually common to put backstab insdie stealth bar

#

\for DM stacks

grim anchor
#

is it optimal to BS first builder in every dance vs just during blades

lucid jackal

#

Its this talent that causes us to do it

#

but also if you dont have FW on it and you arent behind

#

better to SS

grim anchor
#

cheers

edgy zenith
#

that sounds fake

short radish
#

wellllll

#

its only a worry in a small amount of scenarios

#

one of them is sprocket

#

because you should always be behind your target

edgy zenith
#

i haven't worried about being behind target since our raid buff got added

hazy breach
#

But you can only apply find weakness from behind

edgy zenith
#

so basically the DM is only worth it if you can apply the FW to make up for the damage loss of SS?

#

that is soooo criminal

hazy breach
#

No

#

The backstab isnt worth it if you will not have FW up afterwards for your next eviscerate

#

Thats it

edgy zenith
#

so it's always worth it? unless you're proccing crazy and can sectech > evis?

#

which is like never

#

and wait, what if your BS doesn't crit?

#

it's a loss?

short radish
#

youre over thinking it mate

#

the uptime of FW is very very high

#

but just take half a second before you dance

#

to check for the debuff

hazy breach
#

It pretty much never matters except on fights where you consistently have to be infront of the boss and they havent made it so it counts as beeing behind, aka only sprocket mythic

yeah but you have to hold damage on the goon anyway

and the fight has a hard enrage

sin very easily does 2.7

Hey all, new to sim’ing… was looking through APL and it’s relatively simple and no way optimized to pump MAX numbers… the wowhead rotation guide has much more complexity… so, the idea of simming is essentially to see which piece of gear alters your damage the most, not necessarily “what is my max dps”?

I initially thought I could just read the APL for the absolute max DPS algorithm of “if X, Y, and Z and b > a cooldown, then symbols”, but it seems more of just a baseline. I could have sworn I seen a different sim at one point that went a good bit more in-depth in terms of algorithmic processes as above.

Sims are not meant to be like a TAS or absolute perfect robotic play, that would actually make them less accurate models of gameplay and do nothing but warp the results away from realism. We use sims not only to make informed gear decisions but also research rotational changes depending on the situation.

There’s plenty of niche things that could be added to an APL that might trigger on an edge case once every 20 iterations when you have a prio target + 4 adds and >1.35 symbols charges or whatever inhuman logic you could imagine, but that doesn’t create any actionable change for players, doesn’t change talent recommendations, doesn’t change gear recommendations, and ends up making the whole APL way more difficult to maintain and manage. There’s just simply no reason to code the sims like that

#

Basically every APL for every spec is frankly already fairly complex and able to handle a wide variety of situations quite well

# heady wedge Hey all, new to sim’ing… was looking through APL and it’s relatively simple and ...

Its not as black and white. The apl is basically the rotation, but as whispyr mentioned its entirely possible that some edge cases exist. You can experience what i mean by just running quick sim a few times, the rotation you see is one exact iteration of the sim and not a averaged out one so you can often find small details that are not 100% perfect.

The way its utilized, and why its so good for min/max is that you can alter the simulation to test rotational changes or find out how bad something is. A few examples i can give you are:

  • Working with @tepid trellis to test out how much of a damage loss it is to play transmitter incorrectly
  • Testing out Find Weakness based optimization for aoe - Reference
  • Working with @hazy breach to find improvements for Shuriken Tornado (eliminate edge cases, i found out using it on low targets as a filler is worth it again) - Reference

So basically, simulations can be a powerful tool to help you find out how to optimize your output.
And there is another benefit for it, you can also compare how much its worth to optimize.

E.g. we know due to simulations that using backstab in shadow dance is only 0.5% dps increase, and as low as 0.2% without the season 2 tier set. Doing the simulations also gives a lot of extra information. To stay with backstab in shadow dance, it becomes damage neutral once you reach 6-7 targets and the most important time to do it is during flagellation/blades, means missing it outside of these cooldowns is not a big deal and won't rly change your output.

#

However, one important thing is, that not everything thats good for dps needs to be something you do in game.
Even the best players often skip out on one very small optimization because of the low impact of it. The backstab in dance is here another very good example, as we used it during DF too in some seasons and some of the top players opted to not do it because of the low damage impact.

I mention this because people watching streamers often ask them why they run different talents or not apply a certain optimization. Which btw. is perfectly fine and nothing either theorycrafter or streamer should be annoyed about. It shows the system working well, when people are informed enough to make such decisions.

#

Towards real world application, the main motivation for simulations is always gear comparisons.
And both patchwerk (with adjusted fight length typically for progress/farm), multi target simulations and dungeon slice are great for gearing purposes.

But Simulations can also be great to compare talents, but you might need to put in some effort.
I give one example, Dungeon Slice shows currently dark brew as the strongest talent setup in simulations, but you will typically play The Rotten instead.

But this isn't as obvious why, but having discussions like this is interesting for everyone involved.
Basically, the difference comes down to The first dance. The mentioned talent can be somewhat reliably triggered in dungeons but applies typically few times duing a Dungeon Slice simulation.

This means we have a small edge case where this knowlage is important, knowing this means you can go to warcraftlogs and see how frequently it triggers during a key and after that estimate with a simulation the rough damage impact. We did, and the conclusion is that its almost always worth to use it.

Talent setups have different amounts of trade offs. E.g. Switching one talent can be pricier for one talent setup than for another. This is the important thing for The first dance.

#

I can show you the simulations because i did it last weak, but if you contrast the two talent setups with each other on different simulation setups, you will see the following (the difference highlights the damage win/loss with the first dance talented, tho the simulations include talent setups without if you follow the link)

Diffrence - Rotten/brew tfd:
Single Target -0.8%
Three Targets +1.7%
Five Targets -0.2%
Eight Targets -0.8%
Dungeon Slice -1.2%

Gathering this knowledge, we learned about strengths and weaknesses of both talent setups.
We learned that Dark Brew is the stronger talent if you don't play with The first Dance.
We learned that Dark Brew has a higher trade off if you want to play The first Dance, which makes The Rotten the stronger option in that case.
And we learned which talents are the best to switch away when changing between the two:

  • For The rotten: Weaponmaster -> The first dance
  • For Dark brew: Shuriken tornado -> The first dance

Wow, I appreciate it! Great information. I was confused— I was reading your guide and configuring weak auras to meet all of the criteria you mention in terms of timing cd’s (for example, since I’m new to sub, I want my weak aura to show me when it’s optimal to cast dance/symbols between CD’s while still allowing me to have dance/symbol charges when CD’s are ready again), and then I thought to look at the APL. The APL was similar, but much less advanced than your guide… I usually play arcane mage, and it was the same—APL didn’t capture all of the small intricacies of the rotation for min/maxing.

Again, appreciate your reply and work towards the guide!

Outlaw's outlier is really funny to me. Just so far out tehre

hazy breach

If you change it to any specific percentile its easier to parse

#

(as in its easier for you to read it)

cloud rover
#

are usually pretty good

#

so it makes sense

#

If you are bad on outlaw, you wouldnt go into mythic with it

#

you would spec sub and sin

keen dome
#

Yeah, absolutely

#

I just love outliers in general.

#

They are always really fun

fringe palm
#

That argument doesn't really work if you're looking at 99th percentile. Outlaw performs best on first boss and by a huge margin on Stix because of cleave. Most parses are from those early bosses so outlaw looks very strong in overall statistics

cloud rover
#

Also true

It's by far the best performing spec on Stix, while beeing the worst rogue spec for boss damage

!Mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals of during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

does anybody know if there is a bug where you would loose your winning streak stacks whenever shadowdance ends?

Youre likely just casting your last eviscerate right as shadow dance ended, rather than inside

#

me and my friend are trying to figure out, but he dosen't recall using evis right after it ended

hazy breach
#

if you look at the log i'd very much guess that the eviscerate he thinks is inside dance is casted like 8.1 or 8.2s after he casted dance, aka just as it ended

#

A lot of people arent getting their 8 globals of dance

tawny elbow
#

i guess so, would he want to press any finisher outside of SD instead of evis?

hazy breach
#

No

tawny elbow
#

aight

#

so its just RNG

#

cant really do anything about it?

dusty totem
#

U can make sure u don't start dance mid gcd

tawny elbow
#

mid gcd?

dusty totem
#

Wait i might be wrong is dance not off gcd?

dance is in GCD as it gets reduced with x seconds for x CP

hazy breach
#

Dance is not on the global cooldown

tawny elbow
#

oh x)

hazy breach
#

So yes you want to cast it right before you press your first spell in it, not 0.8s before

!mistakes

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals of during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

so shadow blades have to be pressed before the sec tec?

hazy breach
#

it doesnt matter if its before or after

stone robin
#

ah okay ty <3

gleaming geyser
#

It doesn't? So the cast of sec tec can go off before you buff yourself and you get the buff? o.O

hazy breach
#

Yes

hazy breach
#

The clones, aka most of sectechs damage, happens 1s and 1.3s after you press the button

#

But generally if you press it after it should be pressed like 0.8s after, otherwise the entire point of pressing it after (ie getting an extra global with blades later) is defeated since you can miss that extra global if youre not spamming enough

#

So its easier to just do it before, but in sims it doesnt matter

#

The main reason to do it would be if you have a shorter duration trink macro'd to blades and you were consistently missing the last hit, right?

hazy breach
#

This is just overthinking it

When did it change, that we dont use Vanish in our opener?

solid lotus
#

my paladin is telling me that him not holding threat of our warrior tank even with my perma tricks is my fault

molten citrus
#

the difference is miniscule either way

fleet acorn
#

i feel like suspicious energy drink is the best heroic trinket with house of cards in raid and m+ nothing is comparing to the double combo its insane

#

every sim i do it comes out the best

molten citrus
#

Drink is pretty good yep

solid lotus
#

yeah, lol

#

lmao even

molten citrus
#

Tricks doesn’t do that much

#

Like how could that be your fault

#

Tricks doesn’t do anything about your pallys threat

#

Just transfers yours to the tank

remote shuttle
molten citrus
#

Which iirc does not do much in the way of keeping threat off anyone else

fleet acorn
#

anyone else using this m+ build in 14-15+ keys and holding vanish to heal ? 😄

When we getting that fat rework for sub?🥲

#

2/3 of us will probably be dead before that fully happens

vernal junco
#

just bring back dust lol

lilac stag
#

Unless they’re going to fix CDs, no

dusty totem
#

We just need ptr burst back they should never have nerf tier set we where guchi

alpine wraith
#

ptr was funny

#

classic give then take and it will be worse than not giving at all

lilac stag
#

Nerfed? You mean perma 10 stack? OMEGAKEKW

alpine wraith
#

guess he meant when the tier set had real numbers

dusty totem
#

Yub

#

They could prob have given the aura buff and not nerfed tier and we would still not be top dps on many bosses

#

guys why my trick does not stay on target for 1 hour? is it bug or what

#

Any quick info or guide for mythic reverb? Just when to send cds and stuff

hazy breach
#

Evasion his amplify cast and you can stay in

#

For maximum barrel damage delay first flag+blades until 13-14s

tribal blade
#

don't send cds till around 14 seconds into the fight

remote rapids
#

Ok I wasn’t sure if it was hold until first set and then 3rd set

solid lotus
#

why are we using black powder in ST

#

is it to sit on coup de grace?

tribal blade
#

you don't want to hold too long or your 2nd set will get cut off by the intermission

remote rapids
#

So just delay cds for a few and after that they should line up from there for the rest of the fight without having to hold anymore?
