the DDR of rogue

leaden prairie
#

i wouldnt care if it was deleted

#

yes

sly shore
#

that's the thing

#

would you care if energy was gone

leaden prairie
#

ppooling for the thing is good imo

#

not for outlaw

sly shore
#

I'd say most people would say no

leaden prairie
#

for assa and sub ye

#

i think it does a lot for both specs

#

when its good

sly shore
#

I trust blizzard to make it good for 1/10 tiers

leaden prairie
#

Currently assa energy is bad

leaden prairie
#

Sub tho

#

Relies on energy

#

Yo have the slow/fast gameplay

sly shore
#

does it

leaden prairie
#

Within cds

#

So idk

sly shore
#

energy in cd's is irrelevant

leaden prairie
#

Well ye kinda ?

#

Ye that's my point

sly shore
#

damage outside of cd's doesn't matter

leaden prairie
#

Ye but it's slow outside cd

#

Doesn't matter if you do no damage

#

Gameplay wise

#

You are slow outside

short radish
#

sub being slow outside cds is the best thing ever

leaden prairie
#

Fast in

sly shore
#

yeah but that can be limited by 1s gcd

short radish
#

fuck having perma uptime

leaden prairie
#

I think it's good

sly shore
#

rather than energy

leaden prairie
#

For people that like that

short radish
#

i like controlled simple downtime

sly shore
#

cos it is the same result

leaden prairie
#

I don't particularly like that but

leaden prairie
#

So what

tribal blade
#

i don't like sub being slow outside cds

leaden prairie
#

How do you make it faster in cds

sly shore
#

it has off gcd buttons

leaden prairie
#

oi guess

white briar
#

prework sub was better than now. Surebud

void hound
#

i like sub being slow and doing no dmg outside cds personally

sly shore
#

aberrus sub was an offense in class design

leaden prairie
#

i dont think i played aberrus sub

#

did i

#

what was it

void hound
#

i did, it was ass

tribal blade
#

it was gloomblade build

#

with lingering

void hound
#

it was lingering shadow = the build

leaden prairie
#

which tier was aberrus

keen dome
#

baseline gloomblade when

tepid trellis
short radish
#

abberus sub dps profile was flatter than outlaw

white briar
#

but the spec was infinitely more fun than now

leaden prairie
#

ah i did play sub that tier i think

#

nvm i didnt

tepid trellis
#

the tier where outlaw had a bugged tierset for 6months

leaden prairie
#

outlaw one trick

void hound
#

old SHT was also sooooooo bad compared to what we have now

sly shore
tribal blade
#

that was when sub was a lot more press stuff on cd

tepid trellis
#

i didn't really mind old ShT

sly shore
void hound
#

the only redeeming quality of the old sub was no nimble flurry

sly shore
#

hero talents were a failure for rogue, undeniably

#

it did "fix" subs 2t cleave I guess

void hound
#

y

tribal blade
#

watching blizz do rogue hero talents last minute felt awesome

#

and i remember the massive outrage when they dropped ds and trickster haha

north schooner
#

i wonder if they would ever consider scrapping a hero tree entirely

tribal blade
#

it got wild in here

sly shore
#

It's just

tribal blade
sly shore
#

really shit

#

the issue is that no one at blizzard knows what to do with rogue

tribal blade
#

i can't remember exactly who said it, was either stealthi or eleem

#

but when they dropped DS "getting last minute homework vibes"

sly shore
#

Rogue has always been neglected on ptr historically

#

idk what we even expect

keen dome
#

Initial launch DS where neither spec could use it was hilarious

tepid trellis
#

that kinda sounds like something armin wouldve said tbh

tribal blade
#

yeah it was pretty bad

tribal blade
void hound
#

i expect a meaty 10% BP buff to get this spec in order

keen dome
#

!cooldown

#

hm. What was it..

#

!burst

wicked joltBOT
#

During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.

keen dome
#

There we go

leaden prairie
#

!cuck

leaden prairie
#

that got stuck with the worse gameplay hero talent

#

and the coins

#

πŸ’€

keen dome
#

haha, yeah

sly shore
#

outlaw also got stuck with the worse gameplay hero talent and the coins

white briar
# leaden prairie !cuck

sub is the definition of this.
watches the rest of the raid do all the work, then blows it's load

sly shore
leaden prairie
#

at least outlaw and sub are half saved by trickster being less dogshit

sly shore
#

wait so did sub

#

trickster is okay for sub

leaden prairie
#

if you ignore ks

north schooner
#

nobody wants to touch coinspec

sly shore
#

trickster is okay if you ignore 75% of it

nice

vale pine
#

I am efficient, used every character discord let me

#

XD

leaden prairie
#

sub players abusing bugs again ..

#

i cba man ..

#

ban all sub players ..

void hound
#

send every sub player to the shadow realm

fleet wharf
#

thats like 20 players bro

north schooner
#

only 25% loss for OBR is pretty good tbh

sly shore
#

does the rotation not use shadow blades and dance?

leaden prairie
#

Guys what is better

void hound
#

im gonna reroll to one button evoker i think

leaden prairie
#

First dance bug or snd bug

void hound
#

just to feel something

leaden prairie
north schooner
#

isn't snd bug +5 mil overall?

vale pine
leaden prairie
#

Not blades

leaden prairie
sly shore
#

it uses flag?

leaden prairie
#

ye

sly shore
#

crazy

leaden prairie
#

flag isnt a major cd dummy

#

blade is !

sly shore
north schooner
void hound
#

btw

vale pine
#

it kinda is

#

let me show

fallow nimbus
#

Why not embrace our lord and saviour, twilight devastation?

void hound
#

whats up with every .7 patch adding some annoying ass borrowed power item

short radish
leaden prairie
#

wdym

sly shore
#

what is that

short radish
#

snd bug you can do on boss fights in raid right?

leaden prairie
leaden prairie
#

why tho

vale pine
short radish
#

vanish bug you cant do on boss fights on raid

leaden prairie
#

I mean imma be honest

vale pine
#

ill re-run the sims for you

leaden prairie
#

Idk if it's a gain in actual combat

vale pine
#

and try to make the lables easier to understand

leaden prairie
#

That's part of the reason I don't want this snd bug in sims

#

We just ignore that it's potentially a minor gain in combat that way

#

I doubt it is but you never know

#

But ye it's useless in raid mostly

#

I use it on rik intermission

#

Holy shmoly

#

Might be +1% dps

fallow nimbus
#

What's the snd bug?

leaden prairie
#

Eh

#

Cba

#

It's been a thing since SL s1

#

If you don't know about it by now

#

You don't deserve to know

short radish
#

LIL TIMMY DOESNT KNOW ABOUT IT

leaden prairie
#

ye fuck lil timmy

short radish
#

WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF LIL TIMMY

sly shore
#

I was about to type that

short radish
#

please stop fucking little timmy

leaden prairie
#

he likes it

fallow nimbus
#

I probably know, but i am old and forgot

short radish
leaden prairie
#

its an outlaw bug

#

that is barely relevant

#

but people like to make a big deal out of it

#

because it looks gooder than it is from an outside perspective

sly shore
#

it's the infinite 1cp generation snd caster isn't it

leaden prairie
#

why is gooder not a word

sly shore
#

mega roller

leaden prairie
#

its cool word no ?

sly shore
#

I prefer gooderer

leaden prairie
sly shore
#

mind explosion

short radish
#

gooders rise up

north schooner
#

if you want to know about the snd bug, you should just check zac's stream chat every 5min Okay

leaden prairie
#

i hate that shit man ..

north schooner
#

it's either that or hoc

leaden prairie
#

People only ask me about the most irrelevant things

#

Snd or trinket

#

RIGHT

#

Like my trinkets are useless anywya

#

Stop asking me about trinkets

#

I beg

vale pine
north schooner
#

that's why you need ryukage more often to break that pattern

leaden prairie
vale pine
#

think thats easier to understand in terms of lables

sly shore
#

shadow dance useless on on button rotation

#

but not on rotation assist

vale pine
#

ye

#

the additional gcd fucks with stuff

#

(one button rotation adds 300 ms to your gcd)

north schooner
#

that makes me wonder if the extra gcd is even noticeable for specs like devastation?

sly shore
vale pine
#

well its 300 ms for us ^^

sly shore
#

so it's variable for gcd affected by haste

vale pine
#

kinda

north schooner
#

did they change that? initially the tooltip said 0.3s

vale pine
sly shore
vale pine
#

else think every rotation page has a paragraph for it now

sly shore
#

because 0.3s on a 0.6s gcd is more punishing than it is on a 1s gcd

#

so it's 30% instead

north schooner
#

of course

sly shore
#

it's still god awful either way

vale pine
#

its not needed

#

the rotations are simple enough to always value personal play

#

all it does is making people who use the one button rotation worse

keen dome
#

Would've been interesting without any kind of limit, yeah.

north schooner
#

they were scared that it might be too good for no effort

vale pine
#

i mean

#

if you search my history in here from somewhere around bfa

#

i posted a video of a actual one button rotation, which performed the rotation of a havoc Dh roughly ~98 or 99% of the actual apl

#

soo

#

all with only in game macros, so legal

north schooner
#

the reality is that even if it was good now, I am sure they will slip at some point and not update it on time with class changes. Not that it matters considering the target group of the functionality. It would be interesting to see how many people actually use it in the end though

vale pine
#

(and gnome sequencer to allow it on one button)

#

for subtlety they just need:

  • To not use dance when secret is not up (or up soon)
  • Add shadow blades (can use the same condition they use for flagellation, just low cp instead of max)
#

both seems not that big of an effort

lilac stag
#

My question is are they creating their own apl or just taking the work of others freely

vale pine
#

but removes ~10% of the loss, and gives reasonable numbers

north schooner
#

how does OBR handle off-gcd abilities/actions? Do you have to mash the button several times for each ability?

vale pine
lilac stag
#

I see

vale pine
#

basically if you look at the sim

lilac stag
#

The assa one in pvp is apparently 20 million burst or some shit

vale pine
#

one from the simc team did write a parser for blizz rotation tool

#

so it translates to simc

#

however, it needed a bit of cleanup

#

and after that you also need to add trinket/potion/racial use

#

to have a somewhat fair estimate

#

all it shows is they missed shadowblades as a cooldown

#

which is why you need to use it manually, so its not a 1 button rotation anymore

north schooner
#

at least it's a 90s button

keen dome
#

It shouldn't be using cooldowns, anyway, as I understand it?

keen dome
#

Does it use flag?

vale pine
#

yes

keen dome
#

Huh

vale pine
#

only missing cooldown is blades

tepid trellis
#

look at what blizzard needs to do to just recreate a fraction of my 1 button rotation power for Assault

keen dome
#

Haha

vale pine
#

lol

keen dome
#

Could've sworn I read it wouldn't use cooldowns. Which is interesting if it does use flag but not blades, what do blizz identify as a cooldown, etc. Although it also does make sense it'd use flag 'cos of how Sub is built.

vale pine
#

Many specs have missing cooldowns on it

#

it needs iteration

#

to at least add all cooldowns

#

making it only use dance with 10 or less sec on secret would actually be benefitial too, but its mostly a benefit for raiding

leaden prairie
north schooner
#

OBR not using CDs would be disastrous for sub tbh (and a few more specs). I can see why they prefer mistimed CDs over not casting them at all

leaden prairie
#

it kinda is tho

#

its quite easy with a few lines to make a simple rotation that is 95% there

#

would feel quite unfair withotu the gcd penalty

vale pine
#

the two things i mentioned are simple changes

#

everyhting more is complicated

#

but getting the rotation to be within ~13-14% of the optimized one is rly good

#

for more or less just fixing the "low hanging fruits"

leaden prairie
#

the rotation we have in outlaw channel is 90/95% there

#

and its litteraly

#

3 lines

vale pine
#

instead of 25% with the current absence of shb

leaden prairie
#

like this

#

this is 90/95% of the normal apl

#

and its barely more complex than the one blizzard made

#

it would feel very unfair if there was no gcd penalty

keen dome
#

does the Blizz one button use rtb / vanish etc?

leaden prairie
#

it deosnt vanishs/adr

#

but we assume it will

keen dome
#

Nod

leaden prairie
#

same shit with sub you know

keen dome
#

Ye

#

I've not really looked at them but have been curious how it'd work for Outlaw with the crackshot windows, etc.

short radish
#

LITTLTE TIMMY CAN FINALLY PLAY THE NO VANISH BUILD

vale pine
#

vanish on sub is more cosmetic

#

so it does not need to be on the one button rotation

#

the button rly only needs the 2 mentioned fixes

#

and maybe the gcd penalty removed

north schooner
#

imagine if obr abused vanish for tfd HOLY

keen dome
#

why is little timmy even playing rogue in the first place

north schooner
#

because KS looks cool

keen dome
#

Why are they even playing WoW

#

let's be real

north schooner

#

we all be masochists that's why

runic trail
hidden spade
#

Not sure if I’m playing wrong, but I find that if I have coup de grace up and go into blades window, and use it as the first finisher before sec tec, then sec tec will be the 3rd finisher in the second dance - is this right?

vale pine
#

thats fine

#

you typically would want to use secret first for flawless stacks

hidden spade
#

Ahh ok, is this just for the opener/shadow blades windows, or would this apply to every dance/symbols? I notice on the guide it says to coup first before sec tec if it’s up

vale pine
#

you usually secret first to get more finisher with flawless form empowerment, delaying essentially is a trade off

hidden spade
#

Ahh ok ty!

hazy breach
keen dome
#

Huh, wow. That's.. funny

hazy breach
#

Its not like they forgot symbols, theres 3 different lines for it, all of them just have targets>1 on them for some reason

vale pine
#

interessting

#

ill need to check later ingame

vale pine
#

or well tomorrow ^^

#

when its live on eu too

sly shore
#

what does the blizzard apl look like

#

compared to simc

vale pine
sly shore
#

is that directly how it's written in-game

vale pine
#

vs. ours

vale pine
#

would be the automatically parsed

sly shore
#

oh so they even write it in simc formatting

vale pine
#

no

keen dome
#

I assume there's no way to see the direct language used in-game and it's just an export converted based on casts?

vale pine
#

they have their own format, one of of the people working on simc wrote a script to translate it to simc apl

sly shore
#

yeah interested in their format

vale pine
#

the link is basically the parsed version

#

you can ask Dorovon, he was the one who wrote the parsing

keen dome
#

It's something I wish they'd go full technical details on 'cos it'd be fascinating

vale pine
#

his discord id is 145723515562229761, i don't rly want to ping him out of nowhere

vale pine
keen dome
#

Makes sense, yeah

tribal blade
#

i haven't looked at outlaw's priority list in a hot minute, and this is not bad at all

leaden prairie
#

It's the simple prio we do for the faq

vale pine
#

I mean there is a reason i re-wrote the apl at the start of the xpac

leaden prairie
#

Yes

vale pine
#

completely from scratch

#

you can often simplify rules when doing so, because you re-evaluate everything

#

the baseline rotation from most specs is not that complicated anymore, its the special cases/optimizations that add most of the complexity

sly shore
#

I found it @vale pine

vale pine
#

πŸ‘€

sly shore
#

It assigns rules

vale pine
#

oh interessting

sly shore
keen dome
#

oh damn, that's cool

sly shore
#

let's check player.cpp

#

ah that's just simc interpreting

#

makes sense they do it with just numbers

#

makes life easier

#

than using words

#

still readable if you know how to read it I assume

It makes the spec way more fun to play ye

#

Love that change

#

We asked about it the first time crackshot was on ptr btw

#

:)

keen dome
#

That does sound good

short radish
#

only been asking for that for like

#

5 patches or something?

#

i really should try it out again

keen dome
#

Same. I've been contemplating making a 1H weapon 'cos I bet outlaw is chiller in visions

short radish
#

nah assi is still chill

#

pop bleeds

#

and watch things just die

keen dome
#

True, but I found survival was painful at higher masks (because bad at game)

haughty mural
#

I used to play outlaw here and there but completely abandoned it somewhere in df when they introduced crackshot

short radish
#

tbh

#

crackshot is kinda fun

#

getting 6 back to back BTEs

#

is more of a rush than high rolling a 5roll

keen dome
#

My problem with Outlaw is entirely a skill issue. I just don't vibe with it, but I didn't enjoy crackshot at all.

haughty mural
#

I mean.. outlaw isn’t purple duh

swift tinsel
#

Tornado trigger/blunderbuss outlaw in Sepulcher was pretty fun, probably the last time I really enjoyed the spec

leaden prairie
#

its weird

#

it was really,..

#

boring ?

#

but a lot of people outside outlaw mains enjoyed it

#

but it was the most braindead oultaw has been

#

since forever

#

we were litteraly pressing ss only

#

and ps with bb procs

#

flag on cd

#

that was all

#

litteraly nothing else

swift tinsel
#

I think that’s why I liked it at the time, it wasn’t the frenetic gameplay outlaw has now

leaden prairie
#

maybe ye

#

i mean "now"

#

outlaw was frenetic all of sl df aswell

#

just this build

#

wasnt

swift tinsel
#

Before Sep I think I mostly played outlaw in BFA

leaden prairie
#

Ye I can't talk about BFA I wasn't there yet

haughty mural
#

You didn’t play sub in bfa ?

swift tinsel
#

But I was kinda all over the place class/spec-wise during that xpac

haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

Lotta vdh, tons of survival hunter and uhdk

rocky ocean
swift tinsel
#

I was also just an lfr hero back then so I could kinda play whatever I felt like without having to commit to having anything raid or prog-ready

keen dome
#

Imagine playing Sub all trhoguh bfA

#

who'd do that

swift tinsel
#

I’m more sad about missing most of legion

keen dome
#

It was fun.

#

Some weird moments. Some obnoxious design. Overall good time. Real ton of content.

tribal blade
#

legion is one of the most insane times for the game ever

#

neverending content

#

there was so much to do

#

A+

keen dome
#

Also really good content schedule

#

Nightmare into Trial into Nighthold into Tomb into Antorus.

tribal blade
#

yeah raid tiers were banging

#

and constant

swift tinsel
#

I wish I could have gotten the mage tower wep appearances, that’s my biggest fomo lol

keen dome
#

Trial was a bit of a weird one on Heroic, but the others were fantastic

#

Yeah, I hope they bring them abck in remix as recolours or somethign

tribal blade
#

open world stuff was pretty good in legion too

#

you had a lot of incentive to do world content

#

suramar as well was really cool

#

AN INTRUDER

#

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING

#

Suramar was fantastic but I am sad we didn'tg et it as a social zone eventually (but, obviously, why would we)

I got the Outlaw boots once I hit max level. Then I got the shield neck almost immediately after, and then I got Sephurz almost immediately after that. Then two months of nothing.

Legion also had aggresive asset and content re-use but so much of it was done in really clever and inventive ways people didn't mind.

poor person living in the sewers. Seems appropriate.

nobody lost more in the destruction of dalaran than the rogues

WHAT ABOUT US, HUH?

No one knew we were there.

Guild is progging mugzee and our lowest pull is 20%. We have no issue with damage and usually have to stop before transition. You think it’s worth to swap to assassin for the extra execute dmg. Only thing I’m concerned with is jail add damage.

Sub is better for fast strat, sin is better for slow strats

Sin can also deal damage inside of prisons, while outisde hitting the boss so

are people really taking TFD in keys?

are ppl just vanishing and waiting while the tank chain pulls?

It'll happen naturally enough in a dungeon

You don't really play around it, just stealth and hope you get it or use the bug/macro if tank chainpulls

#

what is this new pin and why r we have information about dragonflight

hollow spear
#

Most of the time you have TFD at least for bosses, which already makes it more valuable than WM

#

Anything on top is just gravy

keen dome
#

A lot of dungeons, even with chain pulling, will probably have a moment or two where you can get it back up too.

hollow spear
#

Yeah that's the gravy I'm talking about

sonic quail
serene notch
#

It did feel nice when it was up for sure.

hazy breach
#

Well 18 seconds of extra dance

#

is significantly better than WM across the dungeon

#

Because WM is atrocious

#

Its not that TFD is insanely good, its that WM is horrible, especially on aoe

hollow spear
#

I don't even know what 18 seconds uptime even means in this context

hazy breach
#

Should be 16 or 20, but ye

lethal gale
#

to activate tfd bug countdown do we need to be off gcd when we press vanish?

hazy breach
#

With a macro yes

#

The idea is to use a spell that has a slight delay (storm has travel time) and then vanish inbetween the cast and when the damage hits

#

Which is why you kinda need to use a macro since the delay is so small

serene notch
#

Guess I will check later after work to see if that buff is always in increments of 4 secs.

fallow nimbus
#

You need to look for tfd counts, because if you get it like right before a pull the uptime of the indicator for added dance time will be short

#

Every tfd gives you 4 extra dance seconds

alpine wraith
#

4 secs but yea it is very big

warm marlin
brittle plinth
#

Dumb question maybe but I'm really missing something lol

alpine wraith
#

no actually you need to attack as soon as possible

brittle plinth
#

Oh okay

#

Send and forget it

alpine wraith
#

but did they put the bug back?

warm marlin
#

was fixed on ptr as of last night

hazy breach
#

Idk people said it was fixed like 2 weeks ago but it clearly wasnt

#

Worked as of last night

alpine wraith
#

maybe someone plays rogue but not a lot

#

so he just sneaked it in

#

like whoops

#

until another dev realizes

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

The 5% yes

#

The TFD bug is what we were talking about

warm marlin
#

oh that one mb

hollow python
#

Did anything fixed or unfixed with this patch randomly or are we still top of the world

keen dome
#

I wanna know if the.. thing.. happened.

fallow nimbus
#

It would be so hilarious if the thing happened

vale pine
#

so likely not

keen dome
#

NOOOO

vale pine
#

outside of that, we will see

swift tinsel
#

wait was another 5% gonna sneak into this patch

vale pine
#

basically

#

they added the buffs to ptr and live

#

then hotfixed the accidental double 5% on live

#

but never on ptr

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

soo the hope was that this will stay unnoticed, but it seems like they noticed early enough

keen dome
#

Which, I suppose, is a positive sign they aren't going to repeat the mistake of 11.0.5..

#

But it would've been funny.

vale pine
#

ofc something could have gone wrong in staging

#

but i don't think there was anything

swift tinsel
#

any whispers of 11.2 ptr or is that still waiting to drop

keen dome
#

Probably next week

#

It's gotta land sometime in August since the event ends.. first week of august?

swift tinsel
#

yeah I vaguely remember it being somewhere around there

#

makes sense then

wise scaffold
#

Fuu!

vale pine
#

keen dome
#

they're just gonna release a splash screen that goes "Gestalt was right: more purple" and then it's just player ethereals doing /dance for 20 minutes

vale pine
#

i hope we get etherals as playable race

swift tinsel
#

^^^^^^^

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

esp if they have the cool phasey-hover run animation

#

oh man

#

if the transmitter toy was like kalytha's haunted locket in terms of duration and cooldown so it could be up perma...

keen dome
#

I'm torn on the phasey run 'cos I think it'd get annoying

#

But I absolutely think it should be a racial button

swift tinsel
#

even if its just the sprint animation

#

I'd be happy

keen dome
#

I'm curious what rigging they'll use but I bet it'll be Zandalari (I forget which one they use. Draenei?)

swift tinsel
#

or you move like that during dance

keen dome
#

Since all playable races use one of the common skeletons

the new models for transmitter have pretty ass stealthed movement

runic trail
#

Being asked to learn sub for s3, time to pray that the spec ain't too bad to learn.

swift tinsel
#

Nah it’s not too bad

runic trail
#

I played it back in Legion but a bunch of things have changed.

#

We have 2 sin rogues and a fire mage in the raid, so for early bosses with prio adds, it... isn't optimal.

swift tinsel
#

It’s perceived to be way more difficult than it really is

#

Execute your flag windows and you’re basically set

runic trail
#

Yeah, from what I'm looking at, its all about nailing the cooldown windows and then, kind of just idling.

swift tinsel
#

Don’t over-send dance or symbols between them

runic trail
#

Not idling but like, maintenance.

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

#

!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.
swift tinsel
#

Once your cd windows look like the one from the link you have 85% of the spec figured out

runic trail
#

This is a 'next week' thing, I'm just watching Shindigs video on it. Still on Gally prog at the moment so swapping specs on that would be absolute chaos.

#

Also tbf it'd be nice to be able to do meaningful add damage for once.

bro what the hell i just bought house of cards last night, and this morning new patch drops and i get another house of cards from the timewalking weekly

Pretty much, or learning when you can line them up with certain boss abilities or add spawns etc

#

Anytime! If you have questions while you’re working through stuff feel free to pop in and ask questions

#

Sub can be quirky sometimes

runic trail
#

Looks like a fun spec, also, less downtime than sin

#

As I sit there, waiting for energy for a mutilate.

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it’s a spec of highs and lows in terms of energy and cp economy, you have infinite resources during cooldowns but outside of them you’re just kinda chillin

Like you just hit boss, then you hit boss while pressing W on the belt, and you hit the boss some more

I think its fun because its the only pure st fight of the tier and you have minimal downtime while still having some mechanics

its maybe a bit iffy on mugzee

im pretty sure tfd also gains a lot from pre disorienting strikes

#

if u sim it itll probably be good on 5mins even

short radish
#

im so keen to run it tonight

lilac stag
#

you also use storm 1-2 times

warm marlin
#

isnt it only 3target

#

but ya tfd prob the play on mugzee even

tribal blade
#

hrm this belt sure is rng as hell huh

warm marlin
#

low ppm + immune/excluded targets on multiple bosses

#

very cool

#

i hope they buff current so that its usable

tribal blade
#

i shouldn't run this on mugzee huh

#

probably sending all my bolts into the immune adds

warm marlin
#

from my testing with some raid events stuff

#

charged bolts is just so far ahead that even if half the bolts go into an immune add

#

its still bis (on average)

#

same thing applies to vexie fwiw

tribal blade
#

mm ok

#

because on bandit it was doing ~4-5% of my dmg (as sin)

#

on mugzee it's doing ~2%

short radish
warm marlin
#

what can u do

tribal blade
warm marlin
#

some of those were due to hitting dynamite booty (i did more dmg to dynamite booty than bandit with the belt)

#

but its still like 100k variance between raid members

tribal blade
#

are the other powers as rng as the bolts

warm marlin
#

theyre all 1.5ppm iirc

#

current is not rng at all though

#

it just goes up down

tribal blade
#

mmm gotcha

#

so it could be a better option in M+

warm marlin
#

the stat ones are all a bit better since theyre not gonna hit random immune adds

#

but still buff current Madge

tribal blade
#

yeah the mastery proc seems quite small

#

oh wait nah it's not tiny

#

but it's not huge

and after an hour or so, the rare spawned finally

aaaand... the toy seems to not drop for her

so i can't confirm if you need the trinket or not, but i assume your cahnces without the trinket are low to get the drop

damn gingi being called out

#

i haven't looked into this guy's claim, but i'll bet everything he's right because it's literally impossible for an arcane mage to outdps a boomy and udk in high target count keys

vale pine
#

Easiest way to varify is to look at a log of the key

clever delta
#

well they are doing keys rn and both kush and gingi were using it (kush just for one key)

vale pine
#

if there is no log, its easy to fake details. But i don't think gingi does it

clever delta
#

ye

vale pine
#

interessting

#

i mean its just fake numbers

clever delta
#

kush did 10m dps in rookery when others 5mil on his details

#

but than he turned it off for this key

vale pine
#

i assume it does something simple as multiplying his output by a certain factor

hollow plinth
#

this has to be some psyop for blizzard to push their homebrewed details

tribal blade
clever delta
#

yes you just set up 1.2 mutlipler in the WA

vale pine
#

tbh idk why streamers don't do it

#

but live dps graphs are sick for viewers

#

and you can also make your own dps look great without having the othes even shown outside of a secondary window

clever delta
#

look at this, one is from meeres stream and one from gingi

tribal blade
#

it's funny he feels the need to do this because everyone who has half a brain knows arcane mage doesn't top meters in big pulls

vale pine
#

its for engagement

Is anyone shocked gingi is cheating

#

i think it's lying

#

which i'm not a fan of

vale pine
#

especially youtube crowds won't second guess

#

i mean

clever delta
#

well gingi have this aura from last race when hopefull gapped him on every boss

vale pine
#

i think gingi and kush are both nice people.

lilac stag
#

it’s unethical as fuck

clever delta
#

for sure

vale pine
#

But you should not trust any content creator at the moment (mainly talking about these with bigger audiences)

tribal blade
#

i think they're very good at what they do

vale pine
#

content creation is in a abusive position with paid opinions and very little honesty/trust

tribal blade
#

but why lie, makes me sad 😦

clever delta
#

it just community was makeing fun of gingi that he cant keep up with hopeful and he took it personaly i thiink

keen dome
#

Details should just give random figures if it detects the WA. "yeah, i did Apple damage today."

tribal blade
#

i've always defended gingi by saying he's the best shotcaller in M+

#

and that's why his numbers aren't quite as high

i know for a fact that shot calling always takes a toll on your dps
