work on getting the cd rotation down
that's the majority of playing sub
and then the rest is how to get to your next cd set with enough resources
borealus
howd that 4.5% aura buff feel for sub? its still dog shit huh?
Hekili follows an APL taken from Raidbots thats uploaded into the addon.......

The context that is missed when starting with hekili right here, CDs can't just go out without a plan in place.
If u use your cds following hekili when you are vs 2 trash mobs 4 example is not a good idea
Haha
Having some faith in cdr is a tough lesson to learn too haha
Meant to be italics but oh well
If you killed 4th boss you still get loot from first three ?
Or it doesn’t work like that
If you mean in vault it does normally work like that that.A later bossfight unlocks the loot of the bosses before him but the first bosses this time are different because they have no set order which they needed to be killed. Not 100% sure but i think you need to kill one armed to unlock all the loot from the early bosses
I see thanks
it basically was a 9% buff because they applied it twice, subtlety suddenly looked competitive.
But this was fixed within a bit more than a day, so warcraftlogs statistics are now falsified for 2 weeks
but in the end, sub is better than before the buff
so its a win still, even tho we don't rly change in ranking much, still lower 1/3rd iirc
well i at least get to play sub in rookery now 🙂
i tried the tech to hearth out and swap to sub after 2nd boss in a 17, worked well
why not just play outlaw? it does more boss dam than assa lol and has more surviveability than sub doesnt it or am i wrong?
Selfkilling Spree
sure, but i do not want to play outlaw
sin is also REALLY good on the trash in rookery
and the trash in that place is pretty hard
and yeah killing spree will kill you real quick
yeah lol
you're basically playing with an extra affix with KS
ive only been playing assa and sub just making it to 15 keys
i mean not really...third boss dfc first boss rook just dont use it when hes in the middle....
every dungeon
you can actually use killing spree to get out of dmg scenarios and stop casts that are targeting you bunch of ways to play it
wait i mean ive been playing assa and outlaw
havent touched sub it does tank dmg
you're the first person to tell me positive things about KS
no meme
but yeah there's definitely a work around, outlaw is doing really well right now
but there's 0 shot i'm playing with it
It does, but it adjust in real time to try to correct mistakes.
it’s always trying to meet the conditions of the apl and when you fuck yo the basic rotation it will try to force a correction to meet the apl.
So the more you fuck up harder it is to correct to the apl.
ah yeah it just resets back to apl status when thats not the right buttons to press
which wil mess you up even more hekili has its spot for learning but you ahve to learn not just follow the addon lmao
"During Shadow Dance use finishers with 6 or more combo points, use Black Powder / Eviscerate if prior targeting or if 3 targets or less."
So it is not relevant if I use BP or Evis on a boss fight? lol
1 target is definitely less than 3
wait
where are you reading
use bp/evis
it should just say evis
I played an entire rookery as sub
Wasnt great, would not recommend
Multi Target > Generator priority > 4
First boss feels awful
that is why I asked 😄
oh yeah, i did the swaperoo after 2nd boss
played the first half as sin
it's actually quite fast to do
oh
i see how they intended to read
it's
black powder OR evis if prior targeting or if 3 targets or less.
I pugged it because when i saw this group in the group finder i knew they would invite me just because offmeta andies
But ye i usually do the swap too, figured id try the entire thing since the buffs
But nah, not it
haha nice, yeah those are the groups you have the highest chance of getting in to
I don't get it, sorry.
Or do they mean like: Use black powder as finisher OR IF THERE ARE 3 OR LESS USE EVIS? ^^
yes
i get your confusion
so its
use bp >= 4
use evis <=3
Okay 😄 now I get it 😄 ty 🙂
My sub set and my assa set has different daggers (rik VS bandit daggers) so i realized i lost my weaponstones last time i did rookery
trust a lawyer to write things in the most unfriendly way to read things

dammit stealthi
i still have ptsd reading trust deeds
oh shit me too
you made me just realize that too
that was 2 pages without a single comma break
1 of my weps shares across both specs
Gotta apply stones to bag weapons before key starts too 
(or just change the set, but you know)
Should be like 1% or something
mmm ok that's significant
i wish i could have tested more on that 17, but the arcane mage literally died on the first burn
but with me as sub, dead arcane mage and boomy running over to res him we got the boss to ~80%
which is actually really good with only 1.5 dps up during the burn
Idk you probably should just hit boss and res after
yeah that wasn't what killed it, what truly killed it was my tank fell in the hole lol
and then we wiped
Guzu type shit
not a big deal though, i have 17 resil
was just testing
would have liked to see the entire fight
Ive tried sub in a bunch of keys now
do you have enough time to get cds back between burns on like 18+?
You hold until you do, but yes
ok nice
it's worth asking your group to slow dps for you right
yes
alright awesome
Its not worth to pop the shield 10s faster
figured so
But then have to do another shield
yeah true
if i pug it i'll have to tell them before the key starts i'm gonna do that
and type in /p how long i need
I havent tried motherlode or top as sub yet, but man was it depressing in meadery and floodgate
Ye we didnt have enough add damage
yeah sounds about right
don't have sin just doing infinite add damage and funneling into boss
I mean if your other dps would kill the adds then sub would smoke boss damage
But thats a big if
they would have to do really big add damage to make up for it
that would be a sending cds on adds angle for the other dps haha
Im prob gonna play sub in DFC too just because half the difficulty of that key is candle king anyway
Motherloade feels great with the first two and the nukes on the big HP targets while others are aoeing. Least in my group setup I'm always topping that key
Sure but assa does that better than sub does
First boss should be like -1 minute playing sub though
yeah sin's prio is better than sub while doing uncapped aoe
I mean its still softcapped (or well, most of it, not poison bomb)
yeah true softcapped
ah ok
The "per target damage increase" is capped at 100% from 5 targets
ahhh ok gotcha now i get it
when i read whysper's article it sounded like it increased in % beyond 100
yeah wow and the disaster of tooltips lol
Did you check if our bugs also accidentally got increased by 9.4% instead of 4,6%?
XD
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
tried sub in ML
it feels quite decent in my weeklies, but they aren't challenging in the slightest
that translation lol
What it actually means?
Would recommend using this instead of translating the whole page with googletranslate or whatever
flying snowflakes
Ye sub should be solid, but assa seems too strong
Since you can have extra targets on most bosses its not even that much more boss damage to play sub. Besides the first boss that is
Big damage amp every 45s lends itself well to a 90s burst spec
Moonblasts boss died too fast so he didnt get the second set of cds, but in a 19 or 20 you definitely would
Zero dance snow flower also cool name I think
@hazy breach , was checking your logs in Rookery and other "russian" logs as wells. why this "rupture pattern" after flagellation?
what pattern? he casts one rupture
does trickster sub have any talent that interacts with junkmaestro trinket like lingering darkness for deathstalker?
it repeats after all the flaggelation during the entire dungeon
Flag+rupture
And what's surprising about that?
same thing on russian logs
stack higher mastery before dance
Whats strange about that
it's literally in the guide
flag is 24s, and shadow blades(2 dances) only 16s
Openner. not to repeat
I'm not saying that is strange lol. Just trying to understand the reason
was not clear for me
reason
to make sure rupture doesnt run out during cds most likely
You dont want to refresh rupture during cds
And you build some mastery stacks
And you want rupture up
but in my picutre u just did a rup a few seconds before
maybe just rupture on another target
yeah, could be
the evisc/black powder ud do instead does basically 0 damage, u just make sure rupture doesnt run out during flag blades window
Rupturing while shit grouped
its a damage loss in the 0. % if rupture wouldnt run out
@hazy breach , another question: Are you ignoring backstab during dances?
like was recommend here : https://imgur.com/E4KvJih
cant see those backstabs into logs
that backstab optimization is mostly for single target
Minor optimization that some ppl find annoying and dont bother
Sometimes i forget, sometimes my main target doesnt have FW so i strike
/love guys
doing that in single target
Eleem's +19 workshop
@hazy breach the latter one is mine. Which one is better
I learned this from liquid's rogue
What
He puts sod after backstab
It doesnt matter
Since sure you'd get the strikes to do more damage with rotten
But you lose uptime on symbols because of inev
Yeah, should be very minor difference
Sims say its the same
But delaying it requires more effort
So why bother
Also thats only when running rotten
If youre not running rotten theres no point to delay at all
Indeed, so for rookery's last boss
when to bp in aoe?
should not delay that since we don't run rotten and inev
Technically when you have 5 find weakness up
But on average its 7 targets if you cant be bothered to track it
how much of a dps loss if i decide to send only eviscerates instead of bp on 7+ targets
is there target counter weak aura out there?
also more loss during shadow blades since nimble is bugged
U can use this new weakaura called Eyeballs
haha, thats a good one guy
thank you, thank you
!wa
PSA that these target counter WA are pretty heavy on your CPU
Which is why just using ur eyes is a better metric tbqh
If you run WoW on a potato, you might not want to use those
It's not like using BP on an 8 target pull is fucking your overall to an extreme level, using evis on these target counts isn't even a bad idea
more ST vs pure aoe damage
Just remember to BP on the huge pulls, meadery first pull type shit
its helpful to see whats in your attack range though
if youre not positioned correctly
again yeah yeah just use eyeballs
I can also just use my eyes for that idk
it was helpful for oab
I mean if u guys wanna load up addons that brick your FPS and thenc omplain about wow being unoptimized, go crazy
I'd argue this type of addon gained more value with them removing acrobatic
Still cannot get over that
yeah
sometimes when I dodge stuff and get out of range, my brain goes like "I would have still hit these back in my days"
I'd argue that just having a rough idea of how big the range is is more than enough
Pretty subjective that kind of stuff
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don't mind it
What isn't subjective is the effect it has on ur fps 
i mean you can make the "just use your eyes" arguement for everything
why use weak auras when you can just run base UI
use your eyes to track your buffs debuffs
Because it's not the same
Why use a cooldown tracker when you can count 
A weakaura package that tracks your CDs or procs doesn't brick your FPS In the same way a "Target count" weakaura does
Just jesting, please don't hurt me
tell that to my weak aura that makes khadgar appear and burp whenever I get PI
I should make a WA that whispers the priest "WTF?" when I play sub

i still want to make a weak aura for my retpal
that imitates the grieftorch WA
whenever wings is procc'd
Rets should have to play with payphone at max volume
(sorry for the ret hate, it's compulsive)
nothing to be sorry about
I remember watching JPC and Exile playing Sub there
Absolutely bonkers that
Sub was so broken on that fight
Didn't play myself then
good times
Hey I’m a sin rouge but thinking about trying sub, I’ve seen it’s “bad” in keys. Is it actually bad or is it just hard to play? Like if you play it correctly is the damage worth learning how to play it?
Imo is the worst one of the 3 rogues
But is fun :)
Its like is not worth even if you play perfectly
But im gonna try it anyway
Haha
Ah, not ideal. I’m just pushing 14s rn so nothing crazy, but I was thinking about going sub so I can be a prio damage class instead of mass AOE since I typically play with other mass AOE classes
Assa does more prio dmg than sub does
^
additionally you can pull additional trash to bosses
making subs single target benefit disappear
Yep, sin/otl are generally better in keys atm
Still remember when u smacked ur desk in apodcast like couple of years ago.Think it was during sepulcher,talking about the pirate
or was it more
like 3-4 maybe lul
Sub is easily the best class, ST…..for the first 20 secs kekw
lets say i fucked up and cant send 2nd supercharged sectec in the opener, what do?
a) evis and then non-supercharged cold blood sectec
b) cold blood evis and naked sectec
c) waste another charge of symbols and send send sectec
d) reroll assa
reroll to ret
you just send cold blood with your secret even if its not supercharged
thanks, cause i was fomo wasting symbols
Always lineup symbols with dance?
Or symbols on cd and if dance is close, timing them
@vale pine sorry for ping, but do you know if Cyrce's Circlet value changes during a fight? Like does it change from 3200 mastery to 3500 mastery during flag
No because its all based of the amount of stats you have, not percentage
eleem was faster ^^
but also, a crafted ring with the new updates should easily be better than circlet

maybe you are able to drop the item
subtlety bis did even before the patch not use it in the bis setup
circe works with procs but not on uses
the +6 item levels should make it easy to replace
like for ex suspicious drink makes it give more stats
but using House of cards does not
also void ritual too
ahhh that makes sense
I forgot that we don't have warr buff or monk debuff, so I thought maybe it was Cyrce's diff
not here to make anyone depressed or anything but
we were doing 30% more dps than every class in the game week 1+2+3
now we do -30% dps of every class in the game
so technically sub got nerfed by 60%, but in terms of scaling it isn't a blue post balance change
does this count like rank 1 wiithnout buff?
60% Nerf 
!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.
Are you talking about specifically very high keys against unholy/boomie/etc
Sub has been pretty competitive for me but I’m not doing 20s
any1 got any vids on flag capping ect
How come they haven't removed the 10% buff logs yet 
they won't
because its effort, and the falsified result is only temporary
so they cba
which is fair, wcl does not claim to be the best and most accurate representation
no fun
Fun until Sectech misses because reasons
nice
Sub feels strong and fun on gally
sub is a strong option for the fight, play it if you want
ye will try next raid night
Im not sure what youre asking about
i brain lagged on galli and missed one set of cds 😄
great if you like blasting adds
so you tricks the dev voker on pull to kill them?
The real trick is to drop a late tricks mid cd's, that's when the tanks least expect it
i've question, jastor 671 is better than 681 crafted ring ? crafted ring sim better but i'm not sure if effect of jastor work in sim
jastors ain’t great for sub
Mostly the rest of your raid is going to proc the effect as haste
the mythic version should outsim a crafted, but likely not by much.
Ok thanks for answering ! started season late and hesitated to buy jastor hero with dinars or just craft one ring
Will go for crated ring thanks
you rly want house of cards, after that its kinda whatever
Ye i've take house of cards instant , just started season at the 3 dinars week so
yes i was like idk between jastor hero and mythic pacemaker because i've a eye of kezan hero but if u say that think i will go for pacemaker
Kezan at this point is only good on mythic gally
It will have some use unless nerfed next season
In week 1-2 of prog
Iirc mine got outsimmed by a heroic jastor in slice since aoe does like mastery more
But that was also a week or so ago 
not enough to waste dinars on imo
That’s true
It's good boss damage too (in the context of rogue)
Could have easily did 3m if I didn't troll cds
Sub good, trust
Always been (:
(In our hearts)
Enjoying end of season with sub after I freed myself out of sin prison
looks good
i need to try boss dmg
ive been padding relentlessly so far
what are the reasons for sub over assa
assassiantions single target is not that far behind if you have additional targets
so it basically does provide similar benefits without the same drawbacks
which is why you don't see subtlety played
You won’t fall asleep in raid
Sub will do more damage on a good kill timer at this point
Short fights as well
It's close in raid, kinda meh in m+ when compared to sin/otl
i understand that in m+ we sub rogue fill the role of priority target damage but i kinda struggle to always know who to prio target in a pack. is it almost always the one with highest health? sometimes for example in ToP at the pack between the two mini bosses there is one priority target to burst but it's rarely marked. is there a wa that marks the target for me even tho i'm not RL or do i have to watch 30 min guides for every dung and remember every prio tatget for every pack?
Generally the one with highest health
And if theyre the same health it doesnt matter that much
It’s usually the tanks automarker
assuming they have lead
You can get platter profiles for m+ that will change the mob color based leaving now property / casters / frontals as well
can some1 help me figure out why my secret technique did like 0 dmg ,cant figure it out
Ur not on the side of the person logging
Ye if the person logging is more than 100 yards away the clones from sectech bug out and isnt counted properly

Its usually listed as its own unit but that doesnt seem to be the case here for some reason
ah ok

Does anyone use First Dace and notice is doesn't start the count right away? Once im out of combat, I enter stealth and my first dance count down starts like 3-4 seconds later. That is a huge amount of time in M+
Yep its bugged as hell
The second pin in this channel has a macro you can use that bugs it out and gets you more uses out of it
But even if you dont get it every pull its still miles better than any alternative, since they all stink real bad
Oh i see, thanks. Does this only affect vanish then? Nothing we can do to get the time to start after a nartural combat drop?
Correct
But you dont need to wait for it between every pack either
If its like 1s you can wait
But if it hasnt started
Just go in
Are wclog stats still skewed by the 10% buff bug?
I am seeing the countdown start, and then the tank will pull. I will remain out and wait, but then the countdown will reset
wonder if its tricks thats doing it
Nop
Sub is still good post fix
Don't know a lot about rogue specs, whats the ranking of the 3 specs of rogue in terms of difficulty to learn?
Assa in raids is absolutely the easiest
Besides that it kinda depends on what you find difficult, outlaw has a lot of procs that does really fast, sub is about planning your cooldowns in advance and not screw it up
Rare fromsoft L
anyone know why geargrinders key isnt showing up in logs?
It does, are you looking at a specific boss
On some bosses it bugs out and wont reach the target (and thus do no damage)
im on gally prog and its just not showing up for me anytime i use it
can i not have any damage mod's rolling when i use it? Does that cause invalidation?
are you aiming it correctly?
like its showing up in details
bbut not wc logs
its not showing up in either
i have to aim it?
FML
it shoots out of the front of me?
D: ty
Wooo fimb
sub still absolute dogshit in m+
beyond bad
it wont get fixed i guess since its inflated in logs even tho it doesnt even look that good in logs in the first place
beyond bad is an exagerration tbh
i feel fine, pugging 15s rn and topping the details 90% of the time
In stuff like workshop its absolutely fine
Meadery and floodgate are pretty rough though compared to assa
i dont play assa so maybe i dont feel it yet
dw my m+ team already has me swapped to boomie
Smh my head
tell them that i called them poopy try hard loosers
can i ask maybe a dumb question? We only start really doing decent AOE once we get flawless form right? and we only get that after coup de grace? so if im not getting up to that coup, whats best best to do AOE? or is that not really the spec ability, and SIn be better at AOE with slightly less ST?
Form is up From multiple sources not only coup
Figured that out when I kept missing it
just timed a 16 priory and was second dps. looked at my logs cause something felt wrong. i had House of Cards equipped from sub and my macro is /use signet of priory 
people before the invention of /use 13
yeah i mustve been zoinked when i made the macro
How did you guys build your UI for pushing higher keys (15+)? Until now i used some whacky UI i built myself months ago shortly after i started playing this game again and now that i push higher keys i need to change that.
What addons are absolutely mandatory besides WA, MDT and Plater? For the latter i'm using Quazii's profile with minor tweaks. For WA i'll browse !wa
cursor trail if youre blind like me and cant find your cursor
bugsack/grabber so your chat doesnt get spammed with bugs
death alert because funny
gtfo
omnicd
scrap (so it auto repairs and you dont have to do repair hammer as much)
can cursor trail also put a mark on where your character is, middle screen? for when youre in the middle of 8 mobs
for that you want the character WA
Oh yeah. i have a WA called "Ultimate Mouse Cursor" for that. Not quite a trail but still a life saver for quick target swaps. Before that i was like "Oh shit i should kick that cast. Wait wheres my mouse? Ah, there it is... aaaand it's too late"
i like CT because it has an option to show the mousegraphic even when right click is held down
because i have the memory of a goldfish and forget where my cursor originally was
yeah the mentioned WA does that
i have some crazy cursor that has my hp, energy, and gcd
also can show global CD's and other useful stuff
adding to this: is the DBM dungeon addon any useful? It has some good DL numbers on Curse Forge but i rarely see it in youtube videos
dbm or big/little wigs are fine
@hazy breach the biggest issue i have with M+ right now is how these aoe cc machine specs make everything so much easier
and then the rest of us are left in the dust with nothing
it legitimately feels like a massive problem
yeah the 13 pvp gamers out there
the amount of resources kidney takes is so funny compared to all the modern aoe stops now
well it is super frightening for them for us to be able to do the voker roar into kidney
for a 16 secs stun
mob going to take a nap
mob dead before it ever does anything
Absolutely
they never learnt
Blind having a 60s cd when thunderstorm has 20 and cap totem 35
Or well, the requirement to have the stops in the first place is probably the issue
one of the problems is dr and stuns
mobs casting the spell again if you interrupt it with a blind or kidney makes it fairly low in impact
and given the amount of aoe cc, you often end up in DR with your cc
not sure about the numbers but using CS during a dance window or "waste" CP for kidney feels like massive dps drops which makes me actually feel bad if i use them
also i hate that we have to choose between gouge and aoe blind
nah cheapshot is fine
too bad we never got the aoe kidney
yeah that too
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD
"If you use kidney during stealth, it has 2, 3, 4, 5 targets (per CP spent) more but stun duration is reduced by 75%" or something like that
even that option is not bad
Play tauren than
Still dont understand why they removed it
aoe kidney as it's first design was super OP for sure
but yeah they literally could have made it reduce the duration to secondary targets by 50-75%
and then put it in the class tree
boom
Exactly
It was easy to tune
Instead we got a blind with high-ish CD that instantly breaks. 
while other specs like druid and mage keep their infinite ccs
more purple
@keen dome did you see the new ethereal model from the toy ?
Did it make you happy ?
If they do the fucking Dracthyr thing to Ethereals without letting us transmog I will quit the game
But that's a pretty intense model
wdym?
That you only see shoulders etc
oh
If they do that for playable ethereals.. 'cos the new model..
that said
If next reset the model also has new animations we will know more 
Yeah
It did
But this looks really likely for a player base, imo
You can already see some obvious customisation options like the head bandage shape, etc
And you could layer armour on top
there's quite a few models it cycles through
Entirely possible they are never getting added as playable and these are all models from the eventual 11.2 raid but
it's cool to see
Ya true
If they give me a cool ethereal, and let me be purple, I'll be happy again
I'd already be happy with a next rogue tier set like this
If only nighthold mythic set would be purple
That would fit
Btw anyone else experienced tfd timer is less buggy/ resets not as much anymore ?
Maybe just my los game is better
How come you don't play Arcane Mage?
Cannot get much more purple than that
Rogue for life
Could have been rank 4 ig
Abuser smh my head 
dont worry in 2 weeks we get another parse reset
i love random buffs every week or two
and we also get belt
and it even goes up in ilvl every week
idk parsing is dead in this raid anyway
if your raid actively does less aoe you parse
it's that simple
you need to be in some rat alt raid being the only 683 character in a 670 raid

raid earlier noob!
😏
mornin kings, what r we cooking
curry
What kind
thats on wcl sadly
!wa
Hey fellas, a quick question, if my flag+blades is off cd in 30 secs, and i have 1 dance ready, do i hold it or use it?
Sent it gotta be back within the 30s.
cheers
depends on the other dance's remaining cd
You need roughly 35s left on your second dance charge when you press flag to be able to use two dances back to back in blades
to give more details for my dilemma, i know you ideally need two dances for flag+blades, because all the juice comes from 2nd dance with full flag stacks
If you dont have that by the time flag is ready you probably sent too much earlier
That means stopping roughly 30s before
But again, if you for some reason have 2 charges of dance 30s before flag, you can send, because you will have enough time to get it back
you need 2 dances for your flag+blade, meaning your cd at the time you enter your dance with flag+dance should be ~>1.5
if you're considering using one dance with 30s til flag+dance, you would probably have one dance refreshed.
Thus, at the time of 30s to flag+blade, if your dance is close or more ready to 1.5 dance, you are good to go.
This is understandable
1,5 dances, got it
i need 1.5 dances ready when starting flag+blades, so if i wont have it in 30 sec prior to F+SB cd then i wait, if will have it, then i spend
I personally have a WA calculating how many finishers needed for a dance's CD rather than 60s. So I simply send it with 1 dance with 4 finishers needed.
fuck man I just raw dog math during the fight. I need to get some of those WAs too
well you kinda always has it in your head, full cp finisher gives 9 sec, charged full cp gives 13 sec
Sorry, Coup gives 13
charged gives 10
1.5 is a bit conservative
you can run it with dummies and see how it goes.
I believe @hazy breach 's 1+35s remaining would be more accurate due to 30s you could possibly do more stuff.
always glad to help Sub players, no matter who introduced you into this spec tho.
With decent sht with windfury its feasible to do it at 40 as well, but if you miss (ie dont get procs) and get forced to evis outside of dance its 
haha
casino always wins
That's why whenever you coup outside and didn't lose stacks, just rupt until your dance.
When you win, you take it with you.
We're talking about the situation where you can't dance back to back within blades
Some people say its arguable to play around it, but i assume the higher the ilvl and with stacked kezan+house of cards, its still worth it
Because of being to greedy when sending flag
I love sub so much, its class fantasy fills me so well
The only way you play around it is 10s-15s before flag, you don't send finishers or only ruptures if you need cdr
And even that is debatable
point noted, ty
@hazy breach I think the sim wasn't conclusive about that "optimisation"?
If you need to finish youd rather evis
If you have the cdr you just sit when its at like 10s
(just sit meaning you keep spamming backstab but dont finish)
We get quicker casino charges inside dance, right?
Yes
If so, 2nd dance with crit sectech is always full casino stacks?
Not necessarily
But also the shadow part of the tier doesnt work on sectech anyway most of the time
I've ended flag windows at 6 when I got unlucky and reset right before
my experience is with TFD, you get like 6 from 0 in one and you have a smooth 2nd dance
Quite unlucky, but not impossible
I see, cheers to all, back to testing
Not a fan of this tier set at all
yeah.... me too
last one was better
i hope next one is a little less rng
sometimes, it feels any other spec's similar but not the same mechanism for winning streak is probably better
usually there's a payoff to the others, like for survival receiving a 400% damage increase to their next mongoose bite, which is so fun once you get the aoe proc on it
with sub you kind of just.... lose damage if you eviscerate weird
I rnged myself to a 100 on heroic sprock once because I got two back to back flag windows where I went into them with 8 stacks
Unholys 4p translated to sub would be like "casting shadow dance grants 10 stacks of Winning Streak and it no longer has a chance to reset while its active"
Its like exactly what we would want in every tier set 
Yeah, just do that and then balance around it
Instead of this "it makes you feel bad" stuff
i thought that would be increase your next secTech by 200% and then other abilities for 45%? not bad for sub
that'd be so sexy ngl
i already crit for 24 mil 3 times on big momma in floodgate
imagine with 200 % increase
Don't think a 200% sectec increase would be equal
Sectec is like 20-25% of our dps rn?
japanese curry
not in aoe
the secret ingredient is coffee
Yeah of course, but it'd impact st also
Fuck yeah
Good choice, I should make some of that. I've got some java cubes
We've decided to make pasta with pesto tonight, some real high level cheffing 
ye
Pesto rules
Can coup ticks consume CB?
on the second thought, Sub would enjoy jackpot mechanism better, maybe
Do you notice the coffee a lot tastewise?
no you dont taste it at all
well
you dont taste coffee
but it brings out the taste of the curry better
4 set: upon reaching 8 stacks, turn into Kyveza, removing sectec's target cap and increasing its damage by 50%
(maybe only during shadow blades)
whenever you gain stacks beyond max or lose stacks for 8 stacks, your next sectech summons one more shadow clone
Can someone share the WA that shows Sectech damage done?
Its a good indicator to show whether u made more or less mistakes when managing burst rotation
and i was wondering is there a sequence macro that will do 1 sectech without coldblood and then 2nd after a while with it? Else u then need either remove coldblood from sechtech macro or use two binds for 2 types of sectech
sequence macro will make u send a random cd sectech during a dance outside of flag & blades
(if one does work)
i play to always go into flag with 8 tier set stacks
and coup
it might be slightly unoptimal but it feels good 
is there a way to make all the individual symbols in Fuu's WA bigger?
for some reason i can only change the height but not the widtht
Pls no, it's already krangled with two clones
Another good point mentioned by Shindigg, big thanks to his guide, is to treat ColdBlood more as a 1.5 cooldown ability, rather than its actual 45s cooldown. I think that answers my dilemma of 2 binds or macros
actually in other words, you use CB in burst and then you activate it on cd til next burst
yes, simply somwhere in a next dance, it also answers to a question where should i put my dance before burst phase
put it somewhere when CB comes off cd
So CB needs to be contolled manually rather than paired with sectech, which is fine, a matter of getting used to it
Ngl I don't bother using cb between cds because I don't trust myself not to mess it up lmao
usually, its cd gets ready out of everything but you still just use it so you dont waste it fwiw
Echoing void fixed ?
afaik no
Welp gushing wound till next patch it will be then
Odds are that they just won't fix void
based feelcraft enjoyer
no one is going to catch me dead pressing black powder with 15s left on flag and losing all my tier stacks for 500k damage
boh the change from main outlaw to sub is awesome is another character haha
for 4 months playing the same is a cool change
the pvp trinket works too
thanks
Signet really sucks in here
PvP trinket is pretty solid
Bloodmallet is a good resource to get a general feel for trinkets before you get to specific sims
Funhouse lens often overlooked and underappreciated
A burst of haste aint great unfortunately
@hazy breach finally playing cleave
was practicing it today in a few keys
the prio is ridiculous
1st boss of 17 rook
unfortunately couldn't test more because every key was brick city haha
You know the boomie is starfalling too
Not only to make the boss take longer but also to make you get less funnel
"minus 1:30 cuz chicken is pig"
-famous jordanian proverb
LOL so true
Excuse me sir. This is a sub rogue channel.
oh wait. Keys. Carry on.
hahaaaa

Yessir

You could probably napkin math this out quite easily without the bot, just based on the average value of a BP/Evis outside of buffs.
The only thing you'd have to drop is the technical value of the CDR you're missing out of (if you are just backstabbing and not re-rupturing).
i just re-rupture
i do just spam rupture ye
There's even a little value in re-rupturing if it helps you get a finality one up before flag 😄
backstab soup
What a timeline 

im sure on average the sim might find that casting 1-2 BPs is worth it since the chance to drop tier is relatively low
and you stack it decently fast in cds anyway
it'd be interesting to see the damage variance between
rupture spam if on 4 stacks and above + 15 seconds on flag
rupture spam if on 4 stacks and above + 10 seconds on flag
play the game like a normal human and go into flag/blades with 0 stacks
play the game like a normal human and go into flag/blades with 4 stacks
play the game like a normal human and go into flag/blades with 8 stacks
Lost damage due to rupture spam: 800k
Lost will of life due to tier stacks going to 0: priceless
but i know nothing about writing simc shit
💯
every time my tier set goes to 0 just before im about to flag
i go "never again"
and then i do it again because i think i can high roll
until you do it again

my life in a nutshell
classic ass damage breakdown during that timeline 
15 secs out seem like a long time
15 seconds feel like a long time if you play sub outside of cooldowns
but like
bro our tier set is just awful to play around lol
it was cool when it was huge numbers, but not anymore
based
you do 0 dmg anyway
rip your damage

They should have done what the assa tier does and give you 4 seconds extra if you proc it
like naked evis is what 500k damage or something?
And if you shadow dance during those 4 seconds you retain the stacks
iirc only rupture 20-25sec from flag was almost dps neutral
Make it a little minigame
and you do it max 6 times
my thought was have the protection during dance AND blades
its like 1 mil maybe
so you lose what 3mill damage?
so there's no chance of dropping it between dances
if it crits with shadowed finishers like 2
and then have the set give you ~4 stacks upon activating dance or something
I HATE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH
oh yeah it should give stacks
yeah it's bullshit
just like uhdk does
WITHOUT DROPPING IT
SAJOHDOUAKISHDSAKLHDSAKLHDSAAHDSADSDSAAS
PLEASE
LOVE ME BLIZZARD
lol having coup channeled at the end of 1st dance
and then it snipes the micro second between 2nd dance
and you lose your tier stacks
I LOVE IT SO MUCH
we Coupmaxing in blades
You don't spell queue shadow dance?
i just hard mash dance the entire time its about to end during blades
pretty sure you can't
Oh maybe i just mash too hard and it feels queued

i try my best to be spamming dance as much as possible at the end of the first one
but yeah you can't use dance in dance
You have to have a keybind of dance + your ability for backstab/shadowstrike/evis/sectec
Maybe its cause i have macro it shadow dances?
Hmm hidden tech?
yeah, pretty ass
its so clunky
dw i too am just masg
my dance key is a bit out of the way so I can mash it while hitting whatever my normal next button would be
it doesnt feel too bad
lol mine is on 3
that's focus step
ah focus kick for me
Ah thats shift 3 for me hehe
my dance is shift-3
symbols Q
my dance is G 
very easy to hit q+3 at the same time
Mine is R
tried backstab on Q
R is sectech
And symbols Y
Bro i should post a picture of my keybinds and give everyone aids
never again
Its so nonsenical
shift+R CBsectech
Symbols Q and Dance on E
I change them every so often
had the same keybind scheme across all toons since I started playing
so that I can mess up my rotation for two weeks
changing binds is so much unfun
well, once I graduated from laptop trackpad to mouse+keyboard
i wish i could go back in the past and change my binds
if a spec doesn't make sense on my keybinds I immediately stop playing it
b for bfeint obviously
lol I keep feint as a mouse thumb button
this is mine
I'd go crazy with keybinds on my WA
i specifically hide my bars/binds to force myself to learn them implicitly
triggered
idk, I have small hands
👐
I played with a Das keyboard with no numbers/letters so I had to get used to intuitively binding
Why the heck is only my flag aura increasing in size when it's active?
cannot for the life of me figure out what's triggering it
unplayable
condition
or it's a seperate aura
cos looks like the other one is behind it
see on the right
or you have "show all matches" or something in a trigger
instead of using spellid's and conditions
using just the spellName
i wish i could tell past me "no dont bind rupture to f3. that is stupid. you are stupid"
you can
true
tried changing a bind on my paladin so it'd be more similar to my rogue binds
and im still pressing my old paladin binds
big cd on Q cos I am not intelligent
mine is on T
nah Q is the big cd button
well
keep
sdance is T
at how many targets using BP? i dont remember aprox
shift t is blades
!guide
thanks
q is a good bind though
Sir we are talking binds. This is more important than BP
Alt-F4 is my reset binds bind
i used to have Q bound for slice and dice
dragon rage, arcane surge, apocalypse/pillar of frost
i think im actually mentally challenged

Its happening its just bugging out so its not attributed to you
