yeah buying CE nobody cares because it doesn't take anything away from anyone

void ocean
#

but they earned the gold they spent on paying 😄

tribal blade
#

buying title you legit screw over people who worked hard to try to get it

steel jolt
#

you can buy gold so i dunno about earned

keen dome
#

Although didn't the CN region do something about this kind of thing?

void ocean
#

well they earned money 😄

slate lantern
#

buying rank 1 and bragging about it? just lashga things

tulip gorge
#

my dream is for boosting to be completely banned in WoW

keen dome
#

It would still happen, though.

slate lantern
#

isnt he back as like RogueONE btw, pretty sure thats a lashga burner

lilac stag
random mason
#

That 'character' earned the spot even though the player piloting it bought a carry, in the end theyd have to hand check every single eligible character for signs of boosting

tribal blade
#

funny story is one guy on that list is a dude who whispered me in the open world about title pushing asking how to do it

keen dome
#

Haha

tribal blade
#

and then he goes and actually starts doing it, i played with him and was "oh, this guy kinda sucks"

#

but he makes title

keen dome
#

I guess he found out the cheat code: the credit card

tribal blade
#

and i was like huh

#

and now i see he's a buyer

#

so it all makes sense now

keen dome
#

That's the thing that'd always stand out to me, right? Someone has title, you'd expect them to know how to play decently.

tribal blade
#

i double checked his IO just now, looks like he did buy every 20 he timed

tribal blade
#

i think

#

someone legit just compiled a list by themselves

#

of the NA pool

void ocean
#

i mean i doubt there r millions of potential r1

tribal blade
#

there isn't no

#

it's much smaller than that

random mason
# lilac stag and?

Well are u gonna pay the people doing that? Blizzard has been cutting down employee numbers theyre not gonna put ppl on looking at key title eligibility

#

They got the automated system and done

void ocean
#

u can give it to an intern

lilac stag
#

yes. pay your people. give it to an intern

tribal blade
#

blizz does actually go through a lot of the title stuff by hand

random mason
tribal blade
#

i assume

#

people have been bumped out of title for using exploits

lilac stag
#

rogue balancing is our dev just disappearing or playing assa

#

two different things. if you offer titles, you had best have a way to turst/verify it

tribal blade
#

that's why M+ and PVP titles aren't rewarded until like 1-2 weeks into the new season

#

bceause they have to go through everything

keen dome
#

I assume not

tribal blade
void ocean
#

eye test

lilac stag
#

class dev is not the same as data analysis for a title

swift tinsel
#

I'm sure copilot can crank it out in no time

void ocean
#

"intern checking titles"

tribal blade
#

but they do look for irregularities

#

stuff like bringing in outside buffs into dungeons

#

or similar type exploits

keen dome
#

Yeah

void ocean
#

sub rogue in timed 20 - boosted

#

i could write that script in 5 sec

tribal blade
#

hahaha

lilac stag
#

no matter where you work, there will be people doing bare minimum to keep their job or only focus on shit they enjoy. title checking is just data analysis.

keen dome
#

Maybe if it becomes a consistent issue they'll address it since some of it should be obvious. But it'll always be a problem and I don't see a way to avoid it. Resilient brings more positives than negatives to most players imo.

tribal blade
#

nah we have our own messerknecht who natty got title

random mason
tribal blade
#

seems there's no solutions, only tradeoffs

keen dome
#

yeah

random mason
#

China isnt global

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't be surprised if they clamped down on it this time

#

because resil made it really egregious

void ocean
lilac stag
tribal blade
#

but we'll see if they care or not

random mason
#

Its an insane headache to actually get evidence of boosting

#

Like enough to not accidentally catch innocents

tribal blade
#

some of the people who got boosted have some really crazy profiles

slate lantern
#

I just love ban waves for the plea posts on reddit "I didn't do anything wrong!!"

keen dome
#

Per blizz, discussion of boosting and being paid gold has to take place in-game rather than out of game (mentioned.. somewhere)

tribal blade
#

like my buddy going from 15s to 19-20s in 1 week

#

with every key timed with 4k players

random mason
#

Yeah but not all of em

tribal blade
#

no not all

#

but there's never been this level of boosting ever in keys

#

resil has made it a LOT easier to boost title

random mason
#

And once its known

void ocean
#

imagine 4k players making alts with like 2k rio and then boosting 😄

random mason
#

They just change the boosting strat

tribal blade
#

1 of the groups has a 3600 dk in it

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

with all the rest of the boosters are 3.9-4k

lilac stag
void ocean
#

tho they would kinda need to have a new set of chars for every new guy

#

most IPs are dynamic, now sure how precise that would be

#

google still thinks im sitting in my country capital

keen dome
#

MAC is a better approach

lilac stag
#

maybe not I forget to be honest

void ocean
#

i mean, ur ISP gets a range of IP's it can use and thats the furthest that kind of tracking can go

keen dome
lilac stag
random mason
#

Any of the things you mention will immediately be circumvented once theyre known

#

Until you have to attach a personal id to every account

lilac stag
#

it's like walking into a Target. Theyve got more survalance, footage and data on you than you can ever imagine. literally tracking everyone walking theough the store the entire time. let shoplifters get away with it until its a felony

nova dew
#

hey guys i was looking at wowhead guide and it said on opener if 7+ targets black powder but on priority it says 4+ targets any reason for that?

lilac stag
#

it'll never be 100% perfect, but if you delete 90%+ of the problem thats a win

swift tinsel
#

#UnbindBP

lilac stag
#

#buffBP

swift tinsel
#

if you never cast it, they'll have to buff it

#

that was their logic for the big buff

lilac stag
#

the real content

keen dome
#

hell yeah

swift tinsel
#

I think I was one short

lilac stag
#

i remembered to do underpin last night

#

then had to do it again on ? for the hat thingy

keen dome
#

How'd you find ??

swift tinsel
#

yeah I thought you had to do ? to get ??

random mason
swift tinsel
#

ah, rip

#

?? was annoying at times, I liked zekvir more

#

more interesting mechanical fight

lilac stag
#

zekvir was better. the bomb interacts are annoying even with adjusting the console

keen dome
#

Agreed

swift tinsel
#

plus the mob spawns could be really finicky

lilac stag
#

not being able to kite as dps to position frieds is just bad

keen dome
#

Did Brann get stuck in a wall for you

swift tinsel
#

yes

#

a lot

lilac stag
#

i had friends spawn outside the wall at times

swift tinsel
#

and I'm convinced his position would affect friend spawns

lilac stag
#

like wtf

swift tinsel
#

not just mine

lilac stag
#

it's both

swift tinsel
#

fuck that guy

lilac stag
#

they spawned better when he was dead

swift tinsel
#

bc I'd be in a different quadrant and they'd spawn on the opposite side of the wave I had killed

upper narwhal
#

At the start of the patch you had to go out and in every attempt or they would always end up spawning outside

lilac stag
#

i had to vanish port for shield and got despawned

Idk why I grinded it week 2 it was not fun

swift tinsel

Oh shit ass dps went up sub is dead

swift tinsel

bc of those stupid spawns mostly, got greedy a few times

lilac stag

#

Ass up, Sub dead

lilac stag

i thought it was ass up, face down that's the way...

keen dome

Apperently not

upper narwhal

Thank god Assa can play fatebound in raid couldn’t handle another full deathstalker tier

did sims get released?

nova dew

hey guys how different is sub in s3 vs s2?

upper narwhal

Sub dead plz buff dead spec

if its not thottbot I don't want it

ej forums goated

hold on, getting an ICQ ping

swift tinsel

possibly an askmrrobot angle

keen dome

man, ask mr. robot

swift tinsel

also when I learned Ion is Gurgthok from EJ it explained a lot

keen dome
#

simming via himf or hit / exp

keen dome

then despairing because my tank at the time would only stack stamina and never reforged for hit / exp

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

thats some DF shit, innit

swift tinsel

time is a flat circle

void ocean
#

I stopped tracking tier sets somewhere around wotlk

swift tinsel
#

I only remember t6 was the last tier of BC and the rest faded into the aether

void ocean
#

yup

swift tinsel
#

could not tell you any since then lol

void ocean
#

tho for me at that time "S" was more important but yeh

keen dome
#

Yeah I have no idea

#

I just googled "rogue sim" and that one came up

void ocean
#

In World of Warcraft (WoW), Tier 19 (T19) refers to the armor sets introduced in the Legion expansion's Nighthold and Emerald Nightmare raids.

#

Too many uncs in here

tribal blade
#

i started playing in 2005

keen dome
#

uncs..

#

"UNCS" is an abbreviation with multiple possible meanings, including United National Consumer Suppliers

#

I agree, too many United National Consumer Suppliers

swift tinsel
#

no no not enough have you seen the shelves in walmart

tribal blade
#

i started playing on my buddy's account

keen dome
#

I've never been inside a walmart

swift tinsel
#

winning

tribal blade
#

and he had a ~25 lvl rogue

#

i tried it out and was "why would you not play anything that has stealth"

swift tinsel
#

I started with a few soccer buddies who had been playing with a while then they all quit a few months later lol

#

my first toon was a troll shaman then I got the BC expansion and went paladin

keen dome
#

Rogue since I started WoW, whihc is funny

tribal blade
#

bro i find it so funny i was playing wow when the southpark episode came out

#

and the leeroy meme

swift tinsel
#

played that until late wotlk then switched to dk, made my rogue in cata then swapped around between those three with some other alts sprinkled in until SL

tribal blade
#

what a great time

swift tinsel
#

or the TV adverts with Mr. T, Ozzy, Aubrey Plaza

#

and the mohawk grenades

keen dome
tribal blade
#

still remember my buddy running up to me going "YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO" and playing me leeroy jenkins

imagine so much work just for zac who

maiden oar
#

if i expect to play fatebound assa on the bosses its better i should craft ascendance dagger no matter what right

hollow spear
#

Zac who?

maiden oar
#

even if i somehow get 2 drops from loomithar w1

clever delta
#

exatly

#

who?

swift tinsel
#

double lense gang rise up

hollow spear
#

Yeah right

maiden oar
hollow spear
#

Double lense gamers

swift tinsel
#

I should recraft asc to my dagger

hollow spear
#

You will play sub on some bosses

swift tinsel
#

realistically

maiden oar
#

but on prog i will play whatevers strongest and then immediately play sub only on reclears

#

oh yeah

vale pine
#

just lmk if there is a mistake, i can else put it to !up

hollow spear
#

You won't play fatebound on all bosses

#

It stinks with adds

clever delta
#

!who

hollow spear
#

!zacwho

maiden oar
#

but i thought that ascendance is like worse than lens for sub by a slight amount and lens is worse than ascendance for sin by a bigger margin

#

is this wrong

hollow spear
#

Embellishments are generally poop

#

Not sure if ascendance scales

#

Lense does for sure

maiden oar
#

i see

#

unsure what the ideal craft is if im planning on flexing both is then ty

ill figure it out

I'm hoping for a dawnbreaker dagger today

clever delta
#

ITS STILL BLUE

maiden oar
#

well i guess week 1 im not going to play fatebound without 4pc

clever delta
#

surely we play sub in raid, right guys

#

let me check

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
maiden oar
#

i think for some bosses u do

#

probably also the important bosses

#

unless fractilus is an important boss

clever delta
#

oh no its another assa tier

keen dome
#

nah it's a Sub tier

#

100%

#

Sub season 100%

maiden oar
#

no i think looking @ last 2 sub is better suited to the fights

clever delta
#

its fatebound tier, time to flip some coins ❤️

maiden oar
#

but if fractillus is hard dps check i want to be prepared to throw coins at him

vale pine
#

but i just put it in, and someone will complain if i did

clever delta
#

i know i know im just too excited and trolling

maiden oar
#

i actually really like the coin animations

#

is that weird

clever delta
#

now you are bound to do it every tier or change

#

unlucky

tidal marsh

fuu can you find 200k in apl somewhere

maiden oar
#

the only thing i notice that is piratey is the names of the rtb buffs

vale pine
#

alright, done

maiden oar
#

everything else is just rolling dice and having a pistol and a grappling hook

ripe flame
#

My beloved

maiden oar
#

which seems not that piratey

vale pine
maiden oar
#

oh ok that makes sense

vale pine
#

and probably 0.1% by adding shiv

#

XD

maiden oar
#

oh is 5280 not with predisorient?

clever delta
#

we need to match assa somehow

maiden oar
vale pine
maiden oar
#

dw we frag

#

i see

vale pine
#

its another iirc 1 - 1.5% dps

#

so if you are good, and use secret before pull for the buff

#

you get some extra benefits

maiden oar
#

1-1.5 is alot

clever delta
#

i was simming racials and with bis gear tha tauren/dwarf is only 0.2% behind orc which is nice

maiden oar
#

dwarf is cool

vale pine
#

ill add trinket sims to the sheet in a few minutes (or a bit more, depending how fast i can sim it)

clever delta
#

i went dwarf for racial, i did not enjoy orc anyway

maiden oar
#

i play dwarf because i think its funny to be a really short guy

swift tinsel
#

is it possible to export droptimizer/top gear combos as a .csv or anything like that

maiden oar
#

im so glad i dont have to be velf

vale pine
#

tauren is the most fun class

#

*race

#

image you sit there

clever delta
#

i was playing enough tauren in S1 DF

maiden oar
#

thats probably true but faction change costs more money than race change

clever delta
#

faction change is pretty cheap now, there is discnount running

maiden oar
#

oh hmm

haughty mural
#

What is this shiv stuff now

maiden oar
#

well probably dont need to go maghar

swift tinsel
#

but the variance is all over so it may be or not

maiden oar
#

just slam off cd outside of dance?

vale pine
#

you hear "clop clop" - turn around --- nothing
you hear "clop clop" again but this time from a different direction, turn around ---- nothing
suddenly:

clever delta
#

😄

hollow spear
#

Beautiful

clever delta
#

fuu do you remmeber what was diff with sim talent set up and standart RS + rotten

vale pine
#

should i include hoc on mythic in the sheet

clever delta
#

yes

maiden oar
#

i would like to see it personally

vale pine
clever delta
#

i dont neex excat number

vale pine
#

oh not the talents, the sim numbers

#

can check later

hollow spear
#

Probably within 2% of each other

clever delta
#

2% is lot

sacred yarrow
#

is it

vale pine
#

what is within a very low margin is playing without shadowcraft

#

interesstingly

#

i probably should add that as a potential variation to talents on wowhead too

#

forgot yesterday

clever delta
#

damn

#

but sir i love my shadowcraft

vale pine
#

same

#

its still a valid build option

placid elk
#

so there's a chance for no tea build in m+ also?

maiden oar
#

in m+ with tornado build do i want to use it in st

#

and if so do i want to try and line my gcd around it somehow so it ticks between globals

#

so i go like bs -> tornado tick -> check cp -> finish or bs next gcd

#

unsure how it works never had a chance to play w it before

vale pine
#

*so yes

#

you can in theory still play cold blood

placid elk
#

nice, no tea on sub for me

#

cheap version of "we can't balance energy, have some mastery also"

vale pine
#

i mean

#

you can just macro tea and forget about it

swift tinsel
#

the mastery is the nice part

vale pine
#

which feels kinda fine

swift tinsel
#

energy is w/e

warm depot
#

any talent changes from s2 to s3?

placid elk
#

what if they remove energy how much dps gain is that?

#

no downtime in gcds

slate lantern
#

hated that shades of blue one

swift tinsel
#

idk if I'd like sub as much if it was 100% global locked at all times

vale pine
#

ye, its easier to read and more compact

swift tinsel

I like the ebb and flow

so the format is actually rly good (so rly good job from the original author)

what's sub low target cleave looking like these days, havent really played it seriously since castle nathria, and i recall 2/3 target dps was very bad (you basically just did ST dmg to 1 target)

vale pine
#

its not too bad

void ocean
#

Do we still have first coup buffed instead of second?

vale pine
#

we will know once servers are up

#

^^

swift tinsel
#

so its just the phys hits of the second coup that benefit from the 50%

void ocean
#

Oh ffs

nova dew
#

how do we play around coup?

vale pine
#

essentially 2 things

haughty mural
errant slate
vale pine
# nova dew how do we play around coup?

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **you can stop using (non maintenance) finishers ~10 seconds before your 90 sec cooldowns come up.
  • Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use shuriken storm to not proc unseen blade before using your 2nd coup.
  • Explanation: The tier set buff does not allow new applications of the unseen blades stacks, so any unseen blade procs between the 2 coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
void ocean
vale pine
#

i could add it

#

idk

lilac stag
#

It’s going to get asked

keen dome
#

Should add it, it's very clear and easy to read imo

keen dome
#

Putting it under !coup would be good

vale pine
#

!coup

nova dew
#

should be added to guide as well, couldnt find anything on how to play around it other than trying to get it off with fazed

vale pine
#

alright, its not take, so works

yes

you still maintain stuff

maybe i should say "non maintainance" finisher

So 10 sec before cds with coup just chill hands of keyboard?

What's better BP or do nothing

haha, i tried to be more discriptive

nothing

swift tinsel
#

well, no finishers

#

just backstab to not cap energy

#

farm sht stacks

tender frost
#

Fuu for those coup optimizations, if you're going into cds with 4 stack do you still sectec first or would you blades - coup - storm - sectec - storm - coup

crystal bone
#

my guess is get sectec on cd first

swift tinsel
#

also, so I know for updating the Find Weakness Tracking WA we're set on 4 FW for in and out of blades?

tender frost
#

ah you could just sectec and then storm - coup - storm - coup

void ocean
#

Can we maybe delay sec tech now as 2nd finisher, it seems we have more resets now

#

If we enter dance with coup ready

vale pine
#

bp is still okay, but just not using a finisher for 10 secs is optimal

solemn flame
#

Dude at this point in minmaxing for 1% with all the conditions i rather play whitout it 😅

alpine wraith
#

from my exp the no finishers if you ahve coup ready can be up to almost 20 secs

#

oh nvm i was beat to it

#

im hyped to play sub this tier

maiden oar
#

me too

#

sub is the coolest

crystal bone
#

it is cool

#

and is satisfying when u pull off the burst window

lucid trail
#

while we talking about coup etc, gonna alt rogue for splits coming tier, do we always use sectech as the first finisher in dance

even with coup up

they just answered a bit above, yes

lucid trail
#

im stupid they did indeed

#

thx

alpine wraith
#

only time you dont is when you use an evis to cdr into a sec tech

lucid trail
#

got it makes sence

#

and is it worth using 1/2 finishers in the cd windows before pressing the second symbols to have supercharger up for sectech?

#

or that mby is just a gameplay fail on my part eariler on in the rotation

frank path
#

symbols and sectech should sync

swift tinsel
#

what's the command for that lol

#

you chain dances in blades, but not symbols

#

symbols you cast when either the first or second finisher will consume supercharger in second dance

lucid trail
#

ait got it

#

thx bois

Atleast tfd got fixed
I’m looking a lot more forward to using it next season

crystal bone
#

yea thats a massive gain

#

numerically and gameplay

#

u just can't calculate it numerically

alpine wraith
#

it is very noticeable

#

and enables smart vanish gameplay too

crystal bone
#

u basically gain a cd too with vanish

#

since it was basically useless before

lethal gale
#

what'd they fix on tfd? does the cd start right on stealth now?

crystal bone
#

yes, and vanish also starts the timer

lethal gale
#

nice

hollow spear
#

Vanish starts the timer or the vanish macro?

crystal bone
#

oh not sure

#

whats the macro?

#

a stopattack?

alpine wraith
#

no macro used

#

vanish alone starts it

#

just dont get hit by things

crystal bone
#

probably gives u more tfd's for flag windows

#

adding vanish to the mix

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **you can stop using (non maintenance) finishers ~10 seconds before your 90 sec cooldowns come up.
  • Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use shuriken storm to not proc unseen blade before using your 2nd coup.
  • Explanation: The tier set buff does not allow new applications of the unseen blades stacks, so any unseen blade procs between the 2 coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.

vulnerability phases, the raid (once again) has some fights with them
And outlaw does not offer a good damage profile for it

i can do something fancy (again) with the correct values

Do you even press rupture in aoe without Replicating shadows?

Yes

either on tank gather or outside of CDs

rupture hits relatively hard

sinful patrol

Ok, it just feels odd to press when your other abilities hit 8 targets and this is just on one

#

do i still need a vanish macro for TFD or did the bug fixes mean i dont need one anymore?

Sub and sin seem to be the only specs that even want unyielding

That's barely different

vale pine

a bit less mastery on the profile it seems

i love the haste scaling

Just get 0 haste and you gud

keen monolith
vale pine
#

Context:

  • Single Target (Patchwerk).
  • Stats are always relative to the highest the spec has.
  • BiS/Optimized gear
vale pine
#

sub is more vers/mastery heavy with crit not too far behind

#

outlaw is very versatility heavy

#

i also just noticed i did cut off the y from mastery on the graph for outlaw

#

XD

dull sierra
#

Nah it was on purpose to emphasize how little they want

vale pine
#

haha, thats a good excuse

keen monolith
#

Maybe phrased better on my part: if ilvl is the same and a piece of gear has haste vers on it for assa, that's going to matter less than let's say gear for sub that has haste/crit. the stat prios will make a bigger difference for sub vs. assa – is that right? I haven't messed around with the sims (just coming back from missing the past few expansions), but that's what I've gathered

valid yoke
#

When do the us servers come up? I wanna watch the new patch lol

tulip light
#

guys do we ever press slice anymore or can i just remove it from my bars?

vale pine
#

but in general, what you ask is mostly a simulation angle

#

/simc and top gear is the best way to figure it out for individual pieces

brittle plinth
#

Sub's haste utilization is so good, we should get legendary items that give us tons of extra haste.

vale pine
#

the graph above is just me doing funny stuff

#

by showing how stats are spread on something close to bis gear

brittle plinth
#

dummy question for someone just coming back to retail, is lust just haste?

vale pine
#

yes

brittle plinth
#

that is a soulcrushing confirmation lol

vale pine

for subtlety, it means we barely notice a diffrence ^^

which isn't bad

@upper cosmos makes sense ty!

vale pine
#

you can unbind slice and dice if you want

#

its passive

keen dome

But what about the incredibly niche but funny tech of using it to farm CDR in an m+!

vale pine
#

you can in theory also use bp

keen dome
#
/cancelaura Slice and Dice
/cast Slice and Dice
``` it's fun to press
vale pine
#

but yes, can do

#

can also spam detection

#

in downtime

#

for funnsies

haughty mural
#

yes because you have not tier stacks which will reset with bp

vale pine
#

and some trinkets even work with it

#

even tho we had that knowlage, i don't remember many people using detection ^^

#

(think we did first week of this raid in intermissions, but then found out it was fixed)

keen dome
#

It worked for a tiny bit with the tier set, too

upper cosmos
#

wait I have detection on my bars just as a stim for when I'm bored, it actually does something?

keen dome
#

Sometimes!

vale pine
#

it depends

#

its very much not doing anything 98% of the time

do we hold cdg for dance/symbols? does tier change this at all?

actually pretty happy cuz your mog would be atrocious

Man and the stats are also completely different. I want haste for outlaw which is low prio for the other two and mastery for both sub and sin which is garbage for outlaw

cerulean beacon
#

yeah the stats are like completely different for these two. having a separate crafted ring helps alleviate this

hearty belfry

Looks like if i want to play outlaw I have to stick to it. I'm scared for my wrist

it can happen if you have lag spike when you pressed it originally

relogging fixes it for sure, not sure if /reload works

because that would be faster

Yeah for sure

or simply skilling out and in to it?

Not sure how deeply seated that problem is

Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:

Leaves the option to extend the list if there's alternatives to relogging

Do they pretend forge is 3 min or do they hold cds for 2 min

frost is to my knowlage still quite a bit better than others

How do we treat forge ?

hollow spear

does someone have the string to include both predisorienting and the "old opener"?

chrome palm
#

I’d be surprised if for damage amp fights in the race you don’t see a lot of prism

knotty depot

seems a bit strange at first on how we'll be using it

old opener requires more than a string

so the old rule was BP at 7+ targets, 5+ with FW, and 3+ during shadow blades right? So now its 4+, 3+ with FW, and is it 2+ during shadowblades or still 3?

I am ready to help everyone in my guild understand the power of prism once I got it

(I pray that they don't watch rwf)

if we hold prism a tiny bity

warm marlin

you can press it every burst window or hold for 3mins its essentially equal

from their rider sim

obviously hold if theres a dmg amp or more mobs or something

anyone getting a weird bug that shows them stealth walking, but you're not in stealth? I get it when I press my backstab macro that casts stealth when not in combat

I had that on ptr a lot

swift tinsel
#

just steady creepin around

hollow cobalt
#

We don’t macro CB and Secret anymore, right ?

vale pine
#

you can use either to decide, the diffrence of counting FW is negliable

viral phoenix
#

ok sounds good

chrome palm
#

You probably should macro cb and sectech just that you need a separate non cb sec sech button

vale pine
#

also keep in mind

chrome palm
#

Because you still don’t cb anything else

viral phoenix
#

and obviously if you wanna prio you evisc right

vale pine
#

you might still want to use evis on 4 or 5

viral phoenix
#

like on a DB miniboss

vale pine
#

just to get a bit more prio

viral phoenix
#

ok perfect

vale pine
#

so i would not concern myself too much about it

hollow cobalt
#

Ok thanks Messer

#

Prio damage is the play in m+, most of the time

chrome palm
#

Fuu if we are using dark brew, can we bp at even less targets since it benefits black powders shadow blades damage?

hollow cobalt
#

😄

vale pine
#

but using BP on 3 is also not too far behind

viral phoenix
#

would dark brew make it so its just always 3 targets?

lilac stag
#

You’re too busy spreading ruptures.

#

Never pressing BP kekdog

#

j/k

vale pine
#

but also without dark brew

#

its rly not that much worse

#

but 4+ is easy to remember too, so unsure why you would not just use that

viral phoenix
#

4+ or 3 FW targets is great im just curious if Dark brew would alter that rule at all

steel zinc
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
viral phoenix
#

like is the shadow damage gain enough of a breakpoint to press BP on 3 targets even if they dont have FW on them

#

which it sounds like its negligible so ill just keep the default

lilac stag
#

overthinking me thinks, but you should be able to see it in a sim setup

swift tinsel
#

you don't do shadow damage with BP without FW so idk how DB would lower it

vale pine
#

^ it is already close without, so probably can 3+

#

so "just do it"

swift tinsel
#

unless I'm misunderstanding the question

viral phoenix
vale pine
#

don't let your dream be a dream, tho DB isn't exactly that good

swift tinsel
#

BP is phys, FW adds the shadow damage via Shadowed Finishers

#

the vfx lies

#

with its purpleness

but a dungeon is mixed

hollow spear
viral phoenix
#

yeah for sure, I think this build excels in like priory or something but like you wouldnt wanna run it on Dawnbreaker

#

also question about other talents do we run rotten anywhere anymore all the guides I see have people running 2x finality and stuff

#

is rotten dead

vale pine
#

we don't rly run rotten in s3

hollow spear
#

My current mindset is to bp until the shitter mobs are gone and then evis

lilac stag
#

It’s 5.6 actually

hollow spear
#

The sim still has the kb bug

#

So ye

lilac stag
#

get them execute phases ready

It'll be fb sin for single target and sub for anything else, the sim didn't really change that ig
