ty sir 🙂 I wil do ❤️

tribal blade
#

that's the majority of playing sub

#

and then the rest is how to get to your next cd set with enough resources

short radish
#

borealus

heady helm
#

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.......

rocky ocean
brittle plinth
#

The context that is missed when starting with hekili right here, CDs can't just go out without a plan in place.

graceful crown
#

If u use your cds following hekili when you are vs 2 trash mobs 4 example is not a good idea

#

Haha

brittle plinth
#

Having some faith in cdr is a tough lesson to learn too haha

#

Meant to be italics but oh well

hoary bloom
#

If you killed 4th boss you still get loot from first three ?

#

Or it doesn’t work like that

latent finch
#

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

hoary bloom
#

I see thanks

vale pine
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

heady helm
tribal blade
#

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

heady helm
#

yeah lol

tribal blade
#

you're basically playing with an extra affix with KS

heady helm
#

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....

tribal blade
#

every dungeon

heady helm
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

lilac stag
#

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.

heady helm
#

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

magic fog
#

"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

short radish
#

depends

#

are there 3 targets or less on the fight?

magic fog
#

Sorry, I meant solo boss ^^

#

so just 1 target

short radish
#

1 target is definitely less than 3

#

wait

#

where are you reading

#

use bp/evis

#

it should just say evis

hazy breach
magic fog
hazy breach
#

Wasnt great, would not recommend

magic fog
#

Multi Target > Generator priority > 4

hazy breach
#

First boss feels awful

magic fog
tribal blade
#

played the first half as sin

#

it's actually quite fast to do

short radish
#

oh

#

i see how they intended to read

#

it's

#

black powder OR evis if prior targeting or if 3 targets or less.

hazy breach
#

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

tribal blade
magic fog
short radish
#

i get your confusion

#

so its

#

use bp >= 4

#

use evis <=3

magic fog
#

Okay 😄 now I get it 😄 ty 🙂

hazy breach
short radish
#

trust a lawyer to write things in the most unfriendly way to read things

#

dammit stealthi

#

i still have ptsd reading trust deeds

tribal blade
#

you made me just realize that too

short radish
#

that was 2 pages without a single comma break

tribal blade
#

1 of my weps shares across both specs

hazy breach
#

Gotta apply stones to bag weapons before key starts too garf

#

(or just change the set, but you know)

tribal blade
#

how big a dps loss is it to not have stones on

#

surely not enormous

hazy breach
#

Should be like 1% or something

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
#

Idk you probably should just hit boss and res after

tribal blade
#

yeah that wasn't what killed it, what truly killed it was my tank fell in the hole lol

#

and then we wiped

hazy breach
#

Guzu type shit

tribal blade
#

not a big deal though, i have 17 resil

#

was just testing

#

would have liked to see the entire fight

hazy breach
#

Ive tried sub in a bunch of keys now

tribal blade
#

do you have enough time to get cds back between burns on like 18+?

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

it's worth asking your group to slow dps for you right

hazy breach
#

yes

tribal blade
#

alright awesome

hazy breach
#

Its not worth to pop the shield 10s faster

tribal blade
#

figured so

hazy breach
#

But then have to do another shield

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
#

I havent tried motherlode or top as sub yet, but man was it depressing in meadery and floodgate

tribal blade
#

yeah sub feels so bad in cinderbrew

#

and floodgate

#

big momma is so awkward as sub

hazy breach
#

Ye we didnt have enough add damage

tribal blade
#

yeah sounds about right

#

don't have sin just doing infinite add damage and funneling into boss

hazy breach
#

I mean if your other dps would kill the adds then sub would smoke boss damage

#

But thats a big if

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
#

Im prob gonna play sub in DFC too just because half the difficulty of that key is candle king anyway

hexed sluice
#

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

tribal blade
#

ok yeah i think sub is good in dfc

#

not on overall, but on the hard parts

hazy breach
#

First boss should be like -1 minute playing sub though

tribal blade
#

yeah sin's prio is better than sub while doing uncapped aoe

hazy breach
#

I mean its still softcapped (or well, most of it, not poison bomb)

tribal blade
#

yeah true softcapped

hazy breach
#

Poison bomb is fully uncapped though

#

And it triggers spatter

#

Which is just ??

tribal blade
#

yeah sin has a lot of cool interactions

#

makes me sad

#

to see what is possible

hazy breach
#

And then for some reason CT is softcapped at 8 and not 5 like the tooltip says

tribal blade
#

as in it scales beyond 5 targets hit right?

#

so it reads like 100% at 5 targets

hazy breach
#

It only starts its slower scaling at 8+

#

Not 5+

tribal blade
#

ah ok

hazy breach
#

The "per target damage increase" is capped at 100% from 5 targets

tribal blade
#

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

vale pine
#

wow tooltips in a nutshel

#

subtlety sadly gets the shorter end with bugs many times

hollow spear
#

Did you check if our bugs also accidentally got increased by 9.4% instead of 4,6%?

vale pine
#

XD

proper latch
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
hollow spear
#

it feels quite decent in my weeklies, but they aren't challenging in the slightest

manic salmon
zenith prism
#

that translation lol

proper latch
#

What it actually means?

hazy breach
#

Would recommend using this instead of translating the whole page with googletranslate or whatever

zenith prism
hazy breach
hollow spear
#

they funnel, we cleave

#

besides doing more damage in general

hazy breach
#

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

dry plank
raw flicker
#

@hazy breach , was checking your logs in Rookery and other "russian" logs as wells. why this "rupture pattern" after flagellation?

hollow spear
#

what pattern? he casts one rupture

jade urchin
#

does trickster sub have any talent that interacts with junkmaestro trinket like lingering darkness for deathstalker?

hazy breach
#

Lingering darkness for deathstalker

#

But otherwise no

raw flicker
#

Flag+rupture

hollow spear
#

And what's surprising about that?

raw flicker
#

same thing on russian logs

jade urchin
#

thanks boss

zenith prism
#

stack higher mastery before dance

hazy breach
hollow spear
#

it's literally in the guide

zenith prism
#

flag is 24s, and shadow blades(2 dances) only 16s

raw flicker
hollow spear
#

?

#

we repeat our opener every 90s

raw flicker
#

I'm not saying that is strange lol. Just trying to understand the reason

#

was not clear for me

zenith prism
jade urchin
#

to make sure rupture doesnt run out during cds most likely

hazy breach
#

You dont want to refresh rupture during cds

#

And you build some mastery stacks

#

And you want rupture up

raw flicker
#

but in my picutre u just did a rup a few seconds before

zenith prism
raw flicker
#

yeah, could be

jade urchin
#

the evisc/black powder ud do instead does basically 0 damage, u just make sure rupture doesnt run out during flag blades window

lucid jackal
#

Rupturing while shit grouped

jade urchin
#

its a damage loss in the 0. % if rupture wouldnt run out

raw flicker
#

@hazy breach , another question: Are you ignoring backstab during dances?

#

cant see those backstabs into logs

hollow spear
#

that backstab optimization is mostly for single target

lucid jackal
#

Minor optimization that some ppl find annoying and dont bother

raw flicker
#

oh

#

good to know. thx

hazy breach
#

Sometimes i forget, sometimes my main target doesnt have FW so i strike

lucid jackal
#

and yeah

#

ST only

raw flicker
#

/love guys

zenith prism
#

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

hazy breach
#

What

zenith prism
#

He puts sod after backstab

hazy breach
#

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

zenith prism
zenith prism
hazy breach
#

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

zenith prism
#

Indeed, so for rookery's last boss

lucid atlas
#

when to bp in aoe?

zenith prism
#

should not delay that since we don't run rotten and inev

hazy breach
#

But on average its 7 targets if you cant be bothered to track it

lucid atlas
#

how much of a dps loss if i decide to send only eviscerates instead of bp on 7+ targets

hazy breach
#

A couple of percentages at like 8 targets

#

A massive difference on like 20 targets

lucid atlas
#

is there target counter weak aura out there?

zenith prism
#

also more loss during shadow blades since nimble is bugged

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

haha, thats a good one guy

lucid jackal
#

thank you, thank you

hollow spear
#

Ion already banned that WA

#

have to use their ingame tool

vale pine
#

we might

#

the future of ui addons seems undecided

hollow spear
#

PSA that these target counter WA are pretty heavy on your CPU

lucid jackal
#

Which is why just using ur eyes is a better metric tbqh

hollow spear
#

If you run WoW on a potato, you might not want to use those

lucid jackal
#

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

short radish
#

if youre not positioned correctly

#

again yeah yeah just use eyeballs

lucid jackal
#

I can also just use my eyes for that idk

short radish
#

it was helpful for oab

lucid jackal
#

I mean if u guys wanna load up addons that brick your FPS and thenc omplain about wow being unoptimized, go crazy

short radish
#

where i couldnt stand wherever i wanted to

#

but still know im cleaving the add

hollow spear
#

I'd argue this type of addon gained more value with them removing acrobatic

#

Still cannot get over that

short radish
#

yeah

hollow spear
#

sometimes when I dodge stuff and get out of range, my brain goes like "I would have still hit these back in my days"

lucid jackal
#

I'd argue that just having a rough idea of how big the range is is more than enough

hollow spear
#

Pretty subjective that kind of stuff

short radish
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow spear
#

I don't mind it

lucid jackal
#

What isn't subjective is the effect it has on ur fps PEPW

short radish
#

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

lucid jackal
#

Because it's not the same

hollow spear
#

Why use a cooldown tracker when you can count garf_sit

lucid jackal
#

A weakaura package that tracks your CDs or procs doesn't brick your FPS In the same way a "Target count" weakaura does

hollow spear
#

Just jesting, please don't hurt me

short radish
#

tell that to my weak aura that makes khadgar appear and burp whenever I get PI

hollow spear
#

I should make a WA that whispers the priest "WTF?" when I play sub

short radish
#

i still want to make a weak aura for my retpal

#

that imitates the grieftorch WA

#

whenever wings is procc'd

hollow spear
#

Rets should have to play with payphone at max volume

#

(sorry for the ret hate, it's compulsive)

short radish
#

😦

#

theyre plate rogues though

void ocean
hollow spear
#

Absolutely bonkers that

lucid jackal
#

Sub was so broken on that fight

hollow spear
#

Didn't play myself then

lucid jackal
#

Cuz the boss couldn't be missed

#

SO u just got even more shadow technique procs

short radish
#

good times

proper latch
#

I think sub is good in work and ToP

#

Change my mind

cursive spear
#

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?

clever delta
#

depends on key level

#

in weekly 12s it feel strong to me:)

graceful crown
#

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

cursive spear
#

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

tepid trellis
#

Assa does more prio dmg than sub does

graceful crown
#

^

lucid jackal
#

Sub does more ST

#

But sin has funnel and more aoe

vale pine
#

additionally you can pull additional trash to bosses

#

making subs single target benefit disappear

lucid jackal
#

Yep, sin/otl are generally better in keys atm

round latch
#

or was it more

#

like 3-4 maybe lul

serene notch
#

Sub is easily the best class, ST…..for the first 20 secs kekw

remote eagle
#

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

bleak night
#

reroll to ret

vale pine
#

you just send cold blood with your secret even if its not supercharged

remote eagle
#

thanks, cause i was fomo wasting symbols

graceful crown
#

Always lineup symbols with dance?

#

Or symbols on cd and if dance is close, timing them

alpine wraith
#

on cds you use second symbols with sec tech

#

or the finisher just before

limpid sage
#

@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

hazy breach
#

No because its all based of the amount of stats you have, not percentage

vale pine
#

eleem was faster ^^

#

but also, a crafted ring with the new updates should easily be better than circlet

round latch
vale pine
#

maybe you are able to drop the item

round latch
#

rly?

#

like a 681

vale pine
#

subtlety bis did even before the patch not use it in the bis setup

alpine wraith
#

circe works with procs but not on uses

vale pine
#

the +6 item levels should make it easy to replace

alpine wraith
#

like for ex suspicious drink makes it give more stats

#

but using House of cards does not

#

also void ritual too

limpid sage
#

I forgot that we don't have warr buff or monk debuff, so I thought maybe it was Cyrce's diff

random hare
#

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

clever delta
#

does this count like rank 1 wiithnout buff?

lucid jackal
#

60% Nerf HOLY

tacit pond
#

!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.

Sub has been pretty competitive for me but I’m not doing 20s

wild kayak
#

any1 got any vids on flag capping ect

grave delta
#

How come they haven't removed the 10% buff logs yet TiredCat

vale pine
#

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

hi, how fun is sub on gally mythic?

#

i brain lagged on galli and missed one set of cds 😄

void hound
lilac stag
#

so you tricks the dev voker on pull to kill them?

upper narwhal
#

The real trick is to drop a late tricks mid cd's, that's when the tanks least expect it

timid rivet
#

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

lilac stag
#

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.

timid rivet
#

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

lilac stag
#

your biggest bang for the dinar is house of cards

#

After that likely mythic pacemaker

vale pine
#

you rly want house of cards, after that its kinda whatever

timid rivet
#

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

lilac stag
#

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

But that was also a week or so ago kekdog

not enough to waste dinars on imo

#

Sub good, trust

haughty mural
#

Always been (:

#

(In our hearts)

#

Enjoying end of season with sub after I freed myself out of sin prison

void hound
#

i need to try boss dmg

#

ive been padding relentlessly so far

remote cedar
#

what are the reasons for sub over assa

hazy breach
#

Sub does big ST burst

#

Assa does huge aoe and very big funnel damage

vale pine
#

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

lilac stag
lucid jackal
#

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

haughty rose
#

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?

hazy breach
#

Generally the one with highest health

#

And if theyre the same health it doesnt matter that much

lilac stag
#

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

tall oriole
#

can some1 help me figure out why my secret technique did like 0 dmg ,cant figure it out

lucid jackal
#

Ur not on the side of the person logging

hazy breach
#

Ye if the person logging is more than 100 yards away the clones from sectech bug out and isnt counted properly

hoary lotus
lucid jackal
#

The damage exists and happens

#

But isn't logged

hazy breach
#

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

tall oriole
#

ah ok

hazy breach
#

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

tall oriole
clever delta
#

bro sub is so much more fun in raid

#

insane and actually did dmg on some bosses

weary crescent
#

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+

hazy breach
#

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

weary crescent
#

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?

hazy breach
#

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

wary cloak
#

Are wclog stats still skewed by the 10% buff bug?

weary crescent
#

I am seeing the countdown start, and then the tank will pull. I will remain out and wait, but then the countdown will reset

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

On bosses thats the case

weary crescent
#

wonder if its tricks thats doing it

hazy breach

Nop

#

Don't know a lot about rogue specs, whats the ranking of the 3 specs of rogue in terms of difficulty to learn?

hazy breach
#

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

It does, are you looking at a specific boss

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

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

#

@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

alpine wraith
#

we were about to be a part of them

#

then blizz decided LULNO

bleak night
#

good thing the interrupt changes made the game less reliant on aoe stops

#

we all collectively told blizz no

#

lots of people feared aoe kidney

short radish
#

yeah the 13 pvp gamers out there

tame terrace
#

the amount of resources kidney takes is so funny compared to all the modern aoe stops now

alpine wraith
#

well it is super frightening for them for us to be able to do the voker roar into kidney

for a 16 secs stun

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

vale pine
#

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

haughty rose
#

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

alpine wraith
#

nah cheapshot is fine

vale pine
#

too bad we never got the aoe kidney

tribal blade

"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

wild vine
tribal blade
#

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

tribal blade
#

yeah annoying

#

blizz has that tendency to just simply remove good stuff we have

Instead we got a blind with high-ish CD that instantly breaks. garf

If they do the fucking Dracthyr thing to Ethereals without letting us transmog I will quit the game

We are getting there - much purple

Lul fair

But that's a pretty intense model

haughty mural

Except belt, etc.

oh

If they do that for playable ethereals.. 'cos the new model..

vale pine

lol

would be stupid

but i think etheral would be a nice new race

keen dome

that said

haughty mural
#

If next reset the model also has new animations we will know more 2ez

keen dome

This does look like one without any actual armour on

haughty mural
#

Already looks really fire

#

Imo

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

it had more charm

keen dome
#

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

haughty mural
#

I like that one a lot, it’s really polished and has more res

#

More detail also

keen dome
#

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

slim field
#

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?

tame agate
slim field
#

cheers

hardy snow
slim field
#

please explain further

#

how much is enough to hold or to spend

hazy breach
#

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

slim field
#

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

hazy breach
#

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

hardy snow
#

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.

slim field
#

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

hardy snow
#

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.

sacred yarrow
#

fuck man I just raw dog math during the fight. I need to get some of those WAs too

slim field
#

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

hardy snow
# slim field 1,5 dances, got it

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.

hazy breach
#

I mean sectech gets reduced by 1s per cp spent

#

Dance is 0.5s per cp spent

slim field
#

omg, u are right, sorry

#

Thank you all guys!

hardy snow
#

always glad to help Sub players, no matter who introduced you into this spec tho.

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

that evis will always lose all tier stacks

#

slim field
#

haha

hollow spear
#

Yep

#

There's a hidden debuff that makes it 100% chance to reset tier

#

Trust me

slim field
#

casino always wins

hardy snow
hollow spear
#

We're talking about the situation where you can't dance back to back within blades

slim field
#

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

hollow spear
#

Because of being to greedy when sending flag

slim field
hollow spear
#

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

hollow spear
#

@hazy breach I think the sim wasn't conclusive about that "optimisation"?

hazy breach
#

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)

slim field
#

We get quicker casino charges inside dance, right?

hazy breach
#

Yes

slim field
#

If so, 2nd dance with crit sectech is always full casino stacks?

hazy breach
#

Not necessarily

#

But also the shadow part of the tier doesnt work on sectech anyway most of the time

hollow spear
#

I've ended flag windows at 6 when I got unlucky and reset right before

hardy snow
#

my experience is with TFD, you get like 6 from 0 in one and you have a smooth 2nd dance

hollow spear
#

Quite unlucky, but not impossible

slim field
#

I see, cheers to all, back to testing

hollow spear
#

Not a fan of this tier set at all

graceful crown
#

last one was better

#

i hope next one is a little less rng

hardy snow
#

sometimes, it feels any other spec's similar but not the same mechanism for winning streak is probably better

hazy breach
#

Most are not great

#

Unholy is the clear exception

graceful crown
#

with sub you kind of just.... lose damage if you eviscerate weird

hollow spear
#

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

hazy breach
#

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 Classic

hollow spear
#

Yeah, just do that and then balance around it

#

Instead of this "it makes you feel bad" stuff

hardy snow
graceful crown
#

i already crit for 24 mil 3 times on big momma in floodgate

#

imagine with 200 % increase

hollow spear
#

Don't think a 200% sectec increase would be equal

#

Sectec is like 20-25% of our dps rn?

#

Can coup ticks consume CB?

hardy snow
#

on the second thought, Sub would enjoy jackpot mechanism better, maybe

hollow spear
#

Do you notice the coffee a lot tastewise?

short radish
#

well

#

you dont taste coffee

#

but it brings out the taste of the curry better

hollow spear
#

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)

short radish
#

just dont use the super bitter shit

#

you use regular instant

hardy snow
#

whenever you gain stacks beyond max or lose stacks for 8 stacks, your next sectech summons one more shadow clone

slim field
#

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

native hawk
#

sequence macro will make u send a random cd sectech during a dance outside of flag & blades

#

(if one does work)

warm marlin
#

i play to always go into flag with 8 tier set stacks

#

and coup

#

it might be slightly unoptimal but it feels good gladge

haughty rose
#

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

hollow spear
slim field
#

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

hardy snow
#

actually in other words, you use CB in burst and then you activate it on cd til next burst

slim field
#

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

bleak night
#

Ngl I don't bother using cb between cds because I don't trust myself not to mess it up lmao

hardy snow
#

usually, its cd gets ready out of everything but you still just use it so you dont waste it fwiw

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).

short radish
#

i just re-rupture

warm marlin
#

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 😄

haughty mural
#

What a timeline POGGERS

warm marlin
#

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

short radish
#

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

hollow spear
#

Lost damage due to rupture spam: 800k
Lost will of life due to tier stacks going to 0: priceless

short radish
#

but i know nothing about writing simc shit

short radish

every time my tier set goes to 0 just before im about to flag

i go "never again"

okay thats 2 eviscerates

how much damage are you really losing from 2 eviscerates

you do 0 dmg anyway

#

They should have done what the assa tier does and give you 4 seconds extra if you proc it

short radish
#

like naked evis is what 500k damage or something?

plush roost
#

And if you shadow dance during those 4 seconds you retain the stacks

swift tinsel
#

iirc only rupture 20-25sec from flag was almost dps neutral

plush roost
#

Make it a little minigame

short radish
#

and you do it max 6 times

tribal blade
#

my thought was have the protection during dance AND blades

warm marlin
#

its like 1 mil maybe

short radish
#

so you lose what 3mill damage?

tribal blade
#

so there's no chance of dropping it between dances

warm marlin
#

if it crits with shadowed finishers like 2

tribal blade
#

and then have the set give you ~4 stacks upon activating dance or something

short radish

oh yeah it should give stacks
