the infamous barrier of boss dmg in m+

hazy breach
#

Idk from what ive seen from streamers sub st isnt actually that insane, its mostly doing big damage on "random" pulls

#

Obviously better than assa

plush roost
#

But is it better than my cleave build no IC no scent fatebound assa cook?

#

Hehe

#

(Yes)

lilac stag
rocky ocean
honest basin
#

(don't tell blizz tho)

steel zinc
#

you will play sub on dawnbreaker

#

or hybrid on assa

#

you do 0 boss dps as sin without any funnel

slate marlin
#

hybrid doesnt seem that good on ptr

vestal escarp
#

dk can take care of that garf_sit

lilac stag
steel zinc
plush roost
steel zinc
rocky ocean
#

Because assa will get buffed 10 times

steel zinc
#

like their are some keys assa is dogshit if you cant add trash onto boss and if the bosses where you cant get funnel is greater then 50% you play sub imo

#

and "dogshit"

#

but boss dps with bleed build is a joke

#

which is fine you need funnel

plush roost
#

Yeah fatebound is a meme but theres potential cookery here. Anyway bleed boss dps is horrendous agree agree, and rash has no execute so its even worse

slate marlin
#

sub will better than assa in dawnbreaker with current tuning

plush roost
#

Sub key for sure me thinks

young crypt
#

does sub benefit much in the god phys comp?

steel zinc
#

just do dmg

#

sin is like a baby of dk and arcane s2

hazy breach
#

Warrior and shaman are the two best buffs, monk is good but not insane as we do like 50/50 phys magic

patent lichen
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

Maybe slightly more magic

young crypt
#

so dh viable for us too

honest basin
#

Dh buff good for sub, from my damage breakdowns it always seems like 55-60% magical damage

slate marlin
#

its like 1.8% dmg increase

young crypt
#

yuge

hazy breach
#

Warrior and shaman are the most important

slate marlin
#

warrior and shaman are like 5% each

young crypt
#

noted

hazy breach
#

But obviously not needed

#

Its just higher numbers

slate marlin
#

well m+ has become a raid buff stacking kinda

#

in raid you get all of them basicaly

honest basin
slate marlin
#

shaman makes sub more fun too

honest basin
#

All I know is, number go up, brain happy
Number go down, voices come back

slate marlin
#

sht goes brrrrrr

hazy breach
#

Ye obviously higher number = more fun but its not like you want to slice your ballsack like a burrata if youre playing without a shaman anymore

vestal escarp
#

anymore?

young crypt
#

so we are looking at something like: prot war, r sham, sub rogue, feral/ww/havoc to cheese extra damage?

vestal escarp
#

wdym

swift tinsel
#

That imagery

#

Holy

#

But also accurate

slate marlin
#

i dont think you would take havoc there

rotund pawn
#

do we play current build until we get 4p in m+? or we swap on patch day

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

just almost neutral

rotund pawn

just new set superbuffs coups

so the finality bug is more present

im so mad we didnt get more bp buffs

Thanks blizzard

Was that nerf real

#

Or a typo

#

I didn’t check again

#

They actually nerfed DS?

vestal escarp
slate marlin
#

yep, amazing nerf

lilac stag

I don’t know how to activate DS from sub talents.

vestal escarp

sub DS specifically

slate marlin

Poor oblivious fools

Clearly they nerfed it to prepare for the 10 in a row bp buffs

#

Get ready for a fucking masterclass balancing performance by bl*zzard

slate marlin
#

cant wait for the 11 in a row 11% bp buffs

vestal escarp
#

the first one in s1 was 40

#

or 35

slate marlin
#

bp now deals 200% dmg to your main target

#

BP now does 400% increased damage to enemies that you can hit

#

Got the conditional in there to justify the 400%

slate marlin
#

bp now kills any target it touches, including friends

left ledge
#

Ok no joke

plush roost
#

Bp damage increased for each purple tmog you have equipped

Assa? More like cant be assa'd

left ledge
#

Swap from evis to bp below 35% HOLY

plush roost
#

Sub more like, subservient to black powder buffs

vestal escarp
#

bp on ST after 35% HOLYHOLYHOLY

lilac stag
#

BP should spread rupture to all targets hit.

left ledge
#

Honestly I would rather that than goremaw

Indiscriminate Powder

give another node for nado, where each tick also uses a max cp bp

Hmm not a bad idea but

#

What if nado also just gave you EoN

vestal escarp
#

for what? more dmg?

left ledge
#

we love dmg

vestal escarp
#

at that point just ask for another 11%

!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 off 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.

same with kingsbane

stable plume
#

Hey there! I'm new to rogue and have been trying out subtlety recently (mostly played assassination). On my target dummy ST rotation, I'm currently doing 2M as ST Assassination and only 1.5M as ST Subtlety. I'm pretty much just following exactly what Hekili says to do to practice muscle memory on my rotation. I'm currently only 663 iLVL. Any idea why my Subtlety training dummy rotation is so far behind?

steel jolt
#

dummies are not a great way to measure dps because they are buggy and a lot of stuff just doesn't work on them

#

sometimes people use pvp dummies too which also give distorted results

runic trail
stable plume
#

how do i log a target dummy session?

runic trail
#

Its hard to really say why exactly its behind without being able to see casts etc.

#

Same as standard logging, install the warcraft logs client and go from there.

alpine wraith
#

to log dummies you need to write /combatlog

#

to begin then /combatlog to end it

#

then upload it

steel jolt
stable plume
#

kk give me a few mins

#

i'll do 3m target dummy

runic trail
#

But yeah, sin on dummies is skewed upwards due to the execute

#

So thats a big thing to keep in mind

alpine wraith

is it just me or is antenna rigged to proc like 2 or 3 times at a time

also bro the fuk are this DK talents

so sub is just better in dawnbreaker

alpine wraith

getting high TFD resets is also very good now

#

so we will need to see actual people trying shit

#

plenty of places you can get a sneaky vanish even before going into flags

maybe even go for 3 min prisms for those

going into a boss with tfd and prism

and doing 14m dps for like 30 secs

idk im not really into the weeb shit but its fine

tepid trellis

it is indeed meant to do that

honest saddle
#

Thats the one

#

Assume for macabre stacks but cant figure out when or why

tepid trellis
#

its to not waste unseenblade procs

#

its just between 2 coup casts in blades

#

so if you dont get a shadowcraft refund

#

you just storm between them

honest saddle
#

Got it

hoary moat
#

how many Ruptures should i be having out in M+

#

was looking at the guide on WoWHead, couldnt find the asnwer

tepid trellis
#

what ever lives long enough

#

and not during cds

hoary moat
#

got it

tepid trellis
#

and dont delay cds so put em up inbetween

hoary moat
#

so its just more damage than Evisc? Even with Nimble Flurry?

#

as long as the mob lives the whole time

tepid trellis
#

your eviscerates when you arent in shadow dances

#

hit like wet napkin

#

and the targets dont need to live the whole duration

#

just a good amount of time

hoary moat
#

got it. i remember you used to do more damage to targets with Rupture up. is that no longer a mechanic?

nope

It is with assassination

It greatly affects the use of cold blood as a macro to always use together with secret technique, or is it better to leave it separately and use it at the best times to improve its potential?

so during your 2nd dance in cds you use the CB macro, all other sectecs you press plain sectec button

it means

shadow clone attacks

do the same damage

w/e of the buff

or to word it diffrently, lingering darkness does not work on secret techniques clone attacks

It's fine, we don't need to play DS anyway

Oh only ds

vale pine

also we have lingering up during not 90 sec cooldowns

@vale pine what are them 11.2 builds i ddidnt see them or get a responce to my message about them 🥲

grand wyvern
steel zinc
nova cairn
#

Our peak will be

#

1min 30

grand wyvern
#

yes but if you take a point every 0.1 sec you are gonna see a different number than if you take it every 0.5s

steel zinc
grand wyvern
#

it's a dumb metric

steel zinc
#

Your peak in a dmg amp is the point you build up to

#

So your final sectech

#

that is important

grand wyvern
#

no you want to look at your total damage during amp, which is the integral of dps not the peak dps

fleet wharf
#

if it makes it any easier, the area under the curve is the total damage, so I do think it does matter quite a bit

nova cairn
#

Also

#

Are you still gonna craft dagger

#

When your bis dagger drops of mythic 2nd boss

steel zinc

and thats on pull

#

2nd sectech is 16% of your dmg

so?

As like every season you need Weapon, Tier, Trinket and the rest is just fluff

is there a list of the best trinkets for Sub in S3 somewhere?

I'm going to craft a dagger week 1 after grinding gilded, then week 2 pull the same haste / versa dagger from vault and cry.

@steel zinc pvp trinket didn’t seem bad for 1st trinket if the season

the new mastery on use trinket lilly sth is utter dogs****

That missed a buff

Also the 2nd Boss Mythic dropps everything for sub rogue

#

And you pug 2 Mythic np

runic trail
# stable plume https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JRZGjPYdD81TCmgh?fight=last&type=damage-don...

Okay, I ain't the best at sub so, take this with a pinch of salt but there's a few things I noticed.

  1. on shorter fights, swap your talent point in weapon master to 'the first dancr'
  2. minor optimisation but use your cold blood on the second sectec in your coolfown window
    3)your second cooldown set kind of went... Very wrong. There's 10 seconds between flag and dance, and after dance you're sending sectec without shadow blades.

I probably ain't the best person for a log review but, those were some things I noticed. If you do !log then the bot can make a thread and hopefully someone competent can look at it!

nova cairn
#

Sorry for the wack question, with the new 4p will we get another dance in between our opener and our CDs coming back at 1:30

fleet wharf
#

you can squeeze it in, but it's a damage loss to force it

#

Ryldd is the one who tried it out in ptr, so you can direct questions at him

vale pine
#

we don't play finality on single target

#

and there is the possibility to not play shadowcraft in m+ (tho not mandatory)

sinful zephyr
#

It is nice to have some choices again

steel zinc
#

like you just try to get 1 dance charge bevor 20 sec bevor cds

#

and have 2 then for cds

#

Also people ask if you play sin or sub in m+ for your sanity in a pug play sub. Since tanks that just yolo pull with a mob at 10% will just make you want to jump off a cliff

keen dome
#

Also people ask if you play sin or sub in m+ for your sanity in a pug play sub all you need.

bronze turret
#

@vale pine sub back?

clever delta
#

Or black

vale pine
#

its basically like this:
Subtlety is 2nd in terms of raw output (assassiantion is best by quite a bit)

#

but subtlety has good burst and better target switching, so it might be able to see play besides the above

bronze turret
#

Why did they buff the shit out of ass rogue then?

clever delta
#

Gotta learn the fatebound ass 😄

vale pine
#

assassiantion plays fatebound

#

which has inverse target scaling

#

soo

#

it falls off with more targets

vale pine
#

but basically subtlety will posisbly see play due to the lower trade offs and damage amps on encounters

bronze turret
#

So it’s pure st spec

vale pine
#

assasisantion, kinda in raiding

clever delta
#

Just buff sub again than

bronze turret
#

Makes sense, i wish i had time to play the game but lifes hectic

vale pine
#

you missed season 2

#

subtlety was for most of the seaosn the least played/worse performing spec in the game (even below aug on wcl)

#

the classic

#

but hey, we got palyed first 2-3 weeks of the raid and in wfr

#

justifies this

chrome palm
#

accidently buffed twice and dev was somehow better still

vale pine
#

well we got the buffs very late and it was accidentally twice

#

we would have slightly outperformed the other rogue specs with the buff

#

the revert just was to make sure sub stays low player base

chrome palm
#

i am very curious to see how sub does in the raid

#

the pure st output seems like it will still be somewhat low

vale pine
#

(i say this because buffs in the last 2 xpacs always put specs slightly ahead of others to give more incentive to switch, you saw this multiple times ona ssassination for example)

vale pine
#

but blizz can always buff

hollow spear
#

Let's see what they do after rwf

#

I don't expect tuning for us when the raid hits. They'll probably only tune the clear outliers.

#

Are there up to date fatebound sims?

steel zinc
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
nova cairn
#

We’re basically going to play Assa

#

For every boss

lilac stag
#

I tried to warn you

nova cairn
#

It’s joever

lilac stag
sacred yarrow
violet palm
#

Wouldn’t there be last week patch just before raid?

hazy breach
#

Theres gonna be one right before raid

#

And a couple of weeks after raid

lilac stag
#

The post RWF stuff usually dictates power for the majority of us

#

I honestly don’t recall. Was there tuning pass last time all levels released together.

vale pine
hollow spear
#

Depends on the current state of apl. If fatebound still goes for 120s, it might be more.

vale pine
#

It is a lot to check so ye

#

Probably not perfect yet

clever delta
#

Good for them

#

They will know pain of 90s trinkets

hollow spear
#

Without any manual APL overrides, it still plays it as 120 seconds

#

5.125m

steel zinc
#

4p isnt even in the assa sim

hollow spear
#

True, trying to manually insert the ones from sub

#

Good news is that there's even less friction between sub and sin then

sand flax
hollow spear
#

If their raid spec is fatebound, we still want a 90 second trinket

hollow spear
steel zinc
#

you storm in cds to not have the 2nd coup consume your disorienting strikes stacks

#

also depends on proccs

#

if you procc then you can just press coup b2b

sand flax
#

we do all we can to send our 2 coup de grâce during dance then ?

little sleet
#

where can i find some PTR talent trees for sub for m +

steel zinc
#

just search m+

#

all play tea

little sleet
#

ok but what are the talents

steel zinc
little sleet
#

because i dont know them from the top of my head

steel zinc
#

that depends what damage profile you want

little sleet
#

aoe

#

ig

#

aoe and cleave if that exists

steel zinc
#

just aoe no st just full send big overall?

#

let me send it sec

#

This is the most balanced and what most rogues. Kush, Casual play on stream.

#

The most AOE is sec

#

No Shadowcraft full send

#

since you have so much cdr from the tierset

little sleet
#

can you send the import also ?

steel zinc
#

ptr bugs out

#

just use screenshots

little sleet
#

yeye its ok

#

got them already

#

tyvm

steel zinc
#

np

tribal blade
#

pretty cool sub is gonna be able to actually have different talent loadouts now

#

instead of 1

steel zinc
#

now sin just has one for m+

tribal blade
#

haha true

#

the sin build is now the old one from S1

#

p much

sand flax
#

@steel zinc is there any data how many % dmg we gain when a target has FW ?

tribal blade
#

30% more BP dmg to that one mob

#

so it's a lot

steel zinc
tribal blade
#

30% more evis too

#

but you're pretty much guaranteed to have FW on your target in ST

sand flax
#

But the armor reduction, is there any data ?

tribal blade
#

for nimble i can't remember the exact number

#

@hazy breach knows if he's around

vestal escarp
#

armor on npc is about 30% phys reduction

#

fw is 30% of that 30% bypassed

sand flax
#

Thanks guys @steel zinc @vestal escarp @tribal blade

tribal blade
#

@steel zinc so what're the main rotational differences playing no shadowcraft build

#

i just want to make sure, it's been a while since we've played w/o it

vestal escarp
#

gun in your mouth

tribal blade
#

LOL

#

true on ST

steel zinc
#

Thats what the robot does

tribal blade
#

mm ok

steel zinc
#

and the rest is pretty standard

tribal blade
#

and then you can send dry dances too

#

w/o symbols

fathom adder
#

how do you handle rupture with the shadowcraft one without replicating shadows in aoe?

tribal blade
#

if you play no RS build you wouldn't really spread rupture at all

#

except on important mobs

#

that need to die faster

steel zinc
#

yeah

fathom adder
#

ah okay, got one posted the other day and it didnt have it

#

ty

steel zinc
#

but also imo kinda troll to play without it. Rupture is the best spell

#

all g

tribal blade
#

it's also very strong on small target cleave

#

like 2-4 targets

#

makes sub much better

hollow spear
#

I kinda feel like these dungeon slice optimisations are super useless

tribal blade
#

also look at the tooltip for how much dmg rupture does vs every other spell 😉

alpine wraith
#

this is kinda what i recommend

#

but you can also play without tornado

#

as we get more gear that flat crit is very good

tribal blade
#

hopefully not much

alpine wraith
#

depends how good you are at using the cdr and ruptures

tribal blade
#

ahh gotcha

alpine wraith
#

and the kind of pulls you would go into

#

like if you want to do quad dances tornado is very good

#

or if you have a double then tornado into another

#

or if you begin a pull with only 1 dance stack and not much of next

#

and can tornado ruptures

#

into double dances

fathom adder
alpine wraith
#

kinda all rounder

#

wont have best st because no DD and inev

#

but also decent aoe/cleave with tornado and replicating

tribal blade
#

i think RS is mandatory

alpine wraith
#

same

tribal blade
#

unless you're doing pretty low keys

#

then it's probably w/e

alpine wraith
#

even on low keys rupture is still 10%

#

unless you are inting

tribal blade
#

yeah rupture does a lot

alpine wraith
#

it gets dinamically buffed too

tribal blade
#

the mobs don't need to live that long for it to be strong

alpine wraith
#

i mean it was already the most dcp

#

and you double it

tribal blade
#

during S2 of DF that was an optimization i figured out while pushing title

#

when we were playing DB

#

was being super aggressive with rupture spreading at the start of pulls

#

and doing what felt like too much spreading

#

but big pay off

clever delta
#

Tornado is fake

alpine wraith
#

yea it does get buffed by like 40-60% over the course of dance

#

tornado is not fake but annoying and skill issue

clever delta
#

They were trying out nado and they both specced off it

terse ruin
#

guys in 11.2, how much target for BP ? And how much with Flawless form active ? 🙂

alpine wraith
#

makes sense why play it

tribal blade
#

well i think nado a lot less annoying to play with vigor talented

#

with 100 energy it felt like dogshit

alpine wraith
#

but gotta let people know what is possible the most dmg then they can choose

steel zinc
#

3 during blades you bp 5 + if fw is up

#

also bp is not always the way evis is better on bigger prio targets

#

but thats comp depended

alpine wraith
#

we dont really stab for flawless anymore outside cds

clever delta
#

Rotten is better than nado

steel zinc
steel zinc
clever delta
#

What numbers

steel zinc
clever delta
#

Sims smile

alpine wraith
#

with my vers you cant go rotten but there are some that do

#

and it is fine

clever delta
#

Who cares about sims

alpine wraith
#

in the end you can try many of them and see which ones are better

#

you can only recommend

#

they all have cons and pros anyway

#

same reason i played ER and did fine

terse ruin
alpine wraith
#

it simmed almost the same was more annoying but was cool

alpine wraith
terse ruin
#

but when we up Coup if we do nearly always BP ?

alpine wraith
#

you always coup if it is up

clever delta
#

You coup always

terse ruin
#

but Coup proc only with evis no ?

alpine wraith
#

actually might do a big reminder so people dont get the 4p surprise

#

outside dances

#

you need to build sht and/or energy

#

before using first coup

#

otherwise you may not be able to use the second one

tribal blade
#

is the energy you get back from casting the first coup not enough for 1 backstab and coup?

clever delta
#

But how many backstabs you need to build second

tribal blade
#

if you're drained on energy that is

tribal blade
#

but not sure

clever delta
#

Yeah

#

It is

#

Just send before it expire

alpine wraith
#

it is to not waste possible resets on unseens too

terse ruin
#

There's just one thing I don't understand: how can you proc Coup when we use BP almost all the time and it only procs on 4 ST or stab?

alpine wraith
#

the longer you take the more rng thousand cuts can cuck you

alpine wraith
#

imagine you have to stab 3 times and proc 2 unseens between coups

#

and they double hit

#

AAAAAaaaAAAAAAAaaAAAaA

tribal blade
#

yeah this tier set has so much waste potential it's nuts

clever delta
#

Does it matter outside dance tho

alpine wraith
#

well it builds towards next coup

clever delta
#

You are doing potato dmg anyway

alpine wraith
#

and more cdr for sec techs

rapid forum
#

What guide would you guys recommend to read up on? Last time I played sub was fated SL and early DF. Are there big gameplay/build changes for S3? Trickster stays locked I assume

alpine wraith
#

yea trickster is the play

clever delta
#

If you are not holding the coup the next cds are probably far away

alpine wraith
#

lilely fuu me and others will update the guides soon

rapid forum
#

Sounds good

alpine wraith
#

but as always rng rng

clever delta
#

Heh

alpine wraith
#

you get like 20+ flawless

terse ruin
#

There's just one thing I don't understand: how can you proc Coup when we use BP almost all the time and it only procs on 4 ST or stab? Someone can explain to me ?

alpine wraith
#

coup procs from strikes

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

and you get lots of dance cdr

clever delta
#

It's still rng

#

You gotta pray to 2set gods

alpine wraith
#

and to thousand cuts gods

vale pine
#

so "things as usual"

clever delta
#

Ikd I love the new tier set

vale pine
#

for the first week

alpine wraith
#

tbh gameplay does not change that much but lots of things you can kinda go aha!

clever delta
#

I think new tier set is like fresh air for spec

rapid forum
clever delta
#

Can't wait to not hold tier set stacks as I did whole s2

rapid forum
#

Have been otp ing law pretty much

alpine wraith
#

cant wait to just send sec tech on cd

and getting it back before cds

#

like god intended

clever delta
#

There is extra sectech now?

#

In-between last dance and next cds?

tribal blade
rapid forum

Does sub still press an ugly backstab/shuriken in dance for danse? I remember that being a thing at some point

alpine wraith

we do both kinda yes

To leave this in pasg

will love getting a strong trinket week 1 anyway

terse ruin
tribal blade
#

yeah i immediately did not like the gamba tier set

alpine wraith
#

while everyone farms priory

#

i mean tier set was fine before the omeganerf

#

because you played around it

#

but if you dont play around it

#

it just seems like it punishes you for bad rng

tribal blade
#

i'm just not a fan of rng at all

alpine wraith
#

like look at this kid resetting stacks before cds

tribal blade
#

i like things to be in my hands

rapid forum
alpine wraith

also yday while filming the new opener i had DISASTROUS 2p rng

tribal blade

i dunno how MM hunters survive lol

alpine wraith

for like 4 straight tries

alpine wraith

it is always outlaw season

#

for someone

#

somewhere

rapid forum
tribal blade

if that's simmed dps

rapid forum
#

i would spam it again 24/7

tribal blade
#

in before outlaw sims are fake

rapid forum
#

but law always sims high because its great optimized

#

and flat damage profile gonna suck on the raid

#

couple amps

alpine wraith
#

well problem with outlaw is most of the time raid mechanics

tribal blade
#

not just that, but you can't have 100% uptime

lilac stag
#

Fuu why aren’t sub sims great? It’s optimized

alpine wraith
#

it did always do well on bosses that were full st no downtime

tribal blade
#

and outlaw seriously suffers with downtime

alpine wraith
#

like stix no balls

rapid forum
#

yeye we dont like forced downtime

alpine wraith
#

and ky veza

clever delta
#

Good i geared my warlock

rapid forum
#

if not downtime law pumps

clever delta
#

I'm so ready for next season

rapid forum
#

prob smoke other speccs

#

and doesnt matter if pure st or cleave

#

but, idk, when fights are still being figured out/sometimes hectic outlaw too unreliable, just hurts too much if you loose good rolls or adr

#

and if fights forces you to afk anyway 🤷‍♂️

tribal blade
#

i have a feeling that sub is gonna feel big stinky with bad tier rng though

alpine wraith
#

well not really

rapid forum
#

im looking forward to progging on sub, think it will be great

alpine wraith
#

but you will feel the highs while you plauy

#

then look at top logs

#

and cry

tribal blade
#

haha trueee

alpine wraith
#

same as SL

rapid forum
#

man i miss sl tier

#

the quadruple shadowstrike looked so cool

tribal blade
#

that tier would honestly go super hard with sub's current tool kit

alpine wraith
#

would be nice but i hated it so much

tribal blade
#

yeah that was a super rng fiasco

alpine wraith
#

many people had fun

steel zinc
# flint parrot

I expect fatebound assa to sim close to outlaw and be one of the best st specs in the game

alpine wraith
#

but i was on the low spectrum

tribal blade
#

because if you got good rng you would get more rng and it would feed on itself

#

get bad rng it just fed into less and less rng

bold gate
#

Why do we send shadow dance-> evis -> symbols of death -> evis -> builder -> sectec

Why not do shadow -> symbols -> sectec with cold blood right away?

lilac stag
#

Sectech on CD

tribal blade
#

that's the second dance in cds when sectec isn't ready yet

lilac stag
#

Use the evis to reduce CDR

alpine wraith
#

for mental math

#

you can use evis to reduce 10 secs with supercharger

tribal blade
#

you're using dance back to back there so that you can fit both dances in blades

alpine wraith
#

or coup to reduce 15 secs

vale pine
bold gate
#

Hmmm, I thought I do my second dance when sectec is less than 10 seconds

vale pine
#

so we dance again and secret will be up later

tribal blade
#

and then watch your sectec cd

bold gate
vale pine
#

^ during 90 sec cooldowns you dance back to back pmuch

#

2 times

tribal blade
#

fitting both dances into blades is big

vale pine
#

(so dance-dance)

bold gate
#

Ty ty

#

So basically you dance and when the first is down you second dance right away and

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly

bold gate
#

Make sure sectec is used with cold blood for giga dmg

grand wyvern
tribal blade
vale pine
#

the backstab macro works like this

#

first key press - dance
second key press - backstab

#

so you can control when it uses backstab

#

it does never use it together

#

so you need 2 presses w/e

#

if you want backstab

grand wyvern
#

ok but when i have to do the second dance in CDs i am used to spamming dance button to queue the dance up, is that wrong?

vale pine
#

it should not matter much if you delay your 2nd dance minimal

#

with the new tier set

grand wyvern
#

ok thanks

vale pine
#

current tier set is very sensitive

bold gate
#

Is the first global after dance a backstab or symbols? Or doesn’t matter if I do dance -symbols -stab / dance -stab-symbols?

vale pine
#

just make sure to dance again still within the next 2-3 gcds

tribal blade
#

you can slightly delay dance now between the 2

#

and not get cucked

#

rejoice

twin surge
#

oh yes.. that will be such a relief..

bold gate
tribal blade
#

so if you delayed your 2nd dance in cds and pressed evis outside of dance, you could lose ALL your stacks

#

and then you go into your 2nd super juiced dance much weaker

#

next season that danger will be gone with the new tier set

wary plover
#

are sims updated for all 3 spec?

vale pine

currently updating them

ahh well

At this point I think the safe assumption is FB assa going to be highest sim. 2 or 130 likely biggest question.

how that translates to raiding dracthyr_shrug

possible

it might not be

Very true

I’m excited to see what we play now for new season

Would be cool to mix it up on each boss

Rather than just a straight sub/assa tier

I don't mind that

#

Better than a spec being miles ahead

nova cairn

It’s never a straight outlaw tier SadgeSitSip

Outlaw might be real good on the DH fight

But as always you have the weapon problem

toxic oracle

it hasn't been straight assa/subtlety tier for a while now has it?

hollow spear

wdym

#

sub has been the go to bleeding edge progression spec

vale pine

the entire xpac was dominated by assassiantion, no?

subtlety ofc good during early progress

but if you look over the entire tier it was very one sided

Well, I enjoy watching rwf and if sub is represented I like it even more

I'm just thinking about what was played on prog

hollow spear

depends on what your definition of "prog" is

sub was at one point during this patch

the last dps in the wcl statistic

#

it is true, that subtlety saw play during first few weeks of the patch
