hazy breach
#

Still cant really get it to be worth to use it cds

#

unless

#

You play without shadowcraft, then its good in cds

short radish
#

i'd rather take 4% dps loss than play tornado

fleet wharf
#

You only use tornado when you're out of CDs to farm up your SD faster right?

glossy turtle
#

quick question. When it comes to using new talents and changing rotation. Will that only be the case, after we get new tier set?

hazy breach
#

Sim really likes using it on pull to spread ruptures before cds

hazy breach
fleet wharf
#

doesnt tornado builds drop replicating shadows though?

hazy breach
#

Not necessarily

hollow spear
#

Sim doesn't know that I mess up my mouseovers and apply rupture 3x on the same target

hazy breach
#

But yes without replicating you would use it outside cds for cdr

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 Blades procs between the 2 Coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
short radish
#

minor min/maxing

#

but yeah largly the same

hollow spear
#

We're not using finishers anymore. Some big brain from the forums came in here and convinced our tc that sub is not a finisher spec.

glossy turtle
#

great. is that the same when it comes to aoe?

warm marlin
#

I did get the shuriken storm thing to work after sectec btw

hazy breach
#

Wdym

warm marlin
#

Casting it in st not just between coups

hazy breach
#

Ah

warm marlin
#

But after sectec if you would waste a blade as well

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

I think it doesn’t sim great because of find weakness actually

hazy breach
#

But idk in my head the best use for nado on aoe is with coup active so you dont need to storm inbetween and waste blades

#

Like nado > sectech > coup > coup sounds good

glossy turtle
#

interesting. when it means we dont need to use non maintenance finishers. does that mean that its just better refreshing ruputure instead?

warm marlin
#

If you do flag rupture backstab (don’t proc fw) sectec storm coup coup you’re like 7 globals deep without a shadowstrike

#

Bit rng to have fw up for the coups

hollow spear
#

That's why you get lucky and proc fw close to flag during your backstab soup

hazy breach
#

Could add a check for fw for the backstab but shrugeg

warm marlin
#

I do have it in my own apl

hazy breach
hollow spear
#

Are you on your nihilsm arc, Eleem?

hazy breach
#

Not really

hollow spear
#

You sound like sim has disappointed you too many times kekdog

hazy breach
#

The aoe stuff in sims just doesnt make sense to me

hollow spear
#

I could make the change, but sim will not care

#

Sim treating our tc like an indifferent partner

hazy breach
#

And because it goes against what i feel it should i just say "sim says" because otherwise some rando is gonna qoute my ass and say im stupid later on garf

solar ermine
#

!wa

warm marlin
#

side note is there a way to detect if coup is ready without using this 2 part condition

#

as far as i can tell action.coup_de_grace.ready doesnt detect the 4p proc

hollow spear
#

Ryldd bringing the gains

warm marlin
#

the huge 0.2% for tracking disorienting strikes garf

#

im sure this will be used widely

hollow spear
#

Trenbolone has nothing on him

alpine wraith
#

then tornado for cdr

alpine wraith
#

if you ahve coup ready

#

and enter dance

#

sec tech

#

storm

#

coup

hollow spear
#

Does that sim include predisorienting, Ryldd?

warm marlin
#

yeah and the custom opener and stuff

hollow spear
#

"only" 50k higher than fuu's version?

#

Surprising

#

Nvm, 70k

alpine wraith
#

not bad

#

i have been trying a later use of trink to get the 2 sec techs if triple dancing

#

but sadly sim krangles some of them

#

namely the 1:30 one

warm marlin
# steel zinc what did you change?

instead of only storming between coups, allows storming (still only in blades) if you would waste an unseen blade that you know is present from disorienting strikes

alpine wraith
#

and 4:30

warm marlin
#

and if you havent already used storm for danse stack

alpine wraith
#

yea like going into cds with coup

#

but that one does not happen as often because he have quite a bit of sht

hollow spear
#

Weirdge

steel zinc
#

original and above just turned on dis

short radish
hollow spear
#

Why does it outsim Ryldd's custom sim

steel zinc
#

idk

short radish
#

not that it matters much but opening vault as assi/sub gives 0.4% higher chance to get tier from your m0 dungeon slot

#

than outlaw

steel zinc
#

I did nothing fancy just turned on dis strikes

hollow spear
#

Ryldd, your sim isn't a 100 parser

warm marlin
hollow spear
#

Can't be probably

#

But that's where fuu's sim suddenly got some dam

steel zinc
#

fuus sim is from yesterday

#

so idk

warm marlin
#

well my custom one is built on an old version of the apl

steel zinc
#

I just edited the header to include the dis strike stuff

warm marlin
#

it prob is missing some of the newer stuff

#

for example new fuu is playing double on use

glossy turtle
#

for m+ now. do you wanna spread all your ruptures to stack up flag?

alpine wraith
#

yea there was a prism+ another on use optimization

steel zinc
clever delta
#

Surely we got forge

#

I checked our loot spreadsheet and literary everyone want it

alpine wraith
#

think it is more of a hc/normal get for some special bosses and m+

#

although m+ has the void trink that is very good

tribal blade
#

forge is only playable if you have a 2nd on use trinket right

alpine wraith
#

yes

#

although well

tribal blade
#

double on use bleh

alpine wraith
#

it is still good standalone

#

just 1% behind

clever delta
#

Everyone wants antena as second trinket too

tribal blade
#

ah gotcha

alpine wraith
#

my recommend is prism+cosmic hunter

#

then antenna and forge if you manage to get them

warm marlin
tribal blade
#

my sim is preferring cosmic hunt over antenna with my current gear set

alpine wraith
#

between the cold hands of all the other raiders

#

yea depends if you have more crit/vers

#

and you might expect

swift tinsel
#

Passive agi plus cleaving damage that grows as hp gets lower

alpine wraith
#

dmg trink more dmg

#

hurr

clever delta
#

Yeah that's my plan too

alpine wraith
#

the execute grows a lot too

tribal blade
#

oh i just realized i simmed with like 26% crit, belt set to crit and low vers

alpine wraith
#

as i explained you get 160% extra dmg on 20%

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I’ve been a sigil fan all ptr

tepid trellis
#

think ive spent maybe 5 hours on ptr

#

4 of those was making wa's

alpine wraith
#

i was hitting lots of dummies

tribal blade
#

i spent 0 hours on ptr because i was hard sweating making title

clever delta
#

Poor dummies

tepid trellis
#

i only go ptr when stuff actually changes for my class

swift tinsel
#

Still need to get that double UB sound WA to work

#

Brain too smooth

tepid trellis
#

make it read the combat log

alpine wraith
#

problem with UB

swift tinsel
#

I did but it’s not a unique event for the double, it’s just two of the same events in quick succession

alpine wraith
#

is that it can lag quite a bit

vale pine
#

Hmm, i have a stupid idea

tribal blade
#

i was thinking about making a WA to text to speech how many stacks of escalating i'm at, but it's kinda obnoxious

alpine wraith
#

i also though

#

but i didnt deliver

tepid trellis
alpine wraith
#

when i got a double proc for it to tell me current stacks

tepid trellis
#

thats how id do it

vale pine
#

idk how useful it would be, but would a gearing helper/guide be something people want?
Basically a image showcasing where you can get the interesting loot pieces.

swift tinsel
haughty mural
#

Double on use sounds horrible to use without dust

tribal blade
#

i do want some kind of sound alert for escalating though

#

maybe someone smart can make a good one

tepid trellis
#

can even do it off the buff from escalating

empty canyon
tepid trellis
#

i think

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Something with the etrace args

vale pine
#

i may already created a first version

void hound
tribal blade
#

i made one earlier today to TTS at 3 stacks, but it would play on reaching 4 stacks for some reason

keen dome
empty canyon
#

I mean I would enjoy it

void hound
#

queue up the reloe tweet

keen dome
#

Show us the first version, reveal the effffoort

tribal blade
empty canyon
#

and use it, but when I play new classes I just copy the BIS list when I go hunting for gear in general

alpine wraith
#

i always kinda tell the alternatives but yea

#

most people will railroad to the sim

tribal blade
#

i dunno what i did

lilac stag
#

Hmm

alpine wraith
#

same we too lesser brained

steel zinc
#

forge hc is bait

#

lit pvp trinket is better

#

idk why people are so hyped about it early gearing

keen dome
#

big numbers

alpine wraith
#

pvp trink is very good

#

you can even double trinket it

#

with prism

steel zinc
#

yes and that is better

tribal blade
#

honestly might get funneled prism by my guild, it's a huge % increase

swift tinsel
#

Here’s the code if anyone wants to mess with it

#

CLEU:SPELL_DAMAGE

function(states, event, ...)
  if event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then
    local _, subevent, ......, sourceGUID, ........, spellID = ...
    -- lookup wiki for correct args
    if sourceGUID == WeakAuras.myGUID and spellID == 441144 then
      local now = GetTime()
      if aura_env.last and now - aura_env.last < 1 then
        states:Update("", {
          duration = 3,
          expirationTime = now + 3,
          progressType = "timed",
          icon = C_Spell.GetSpellTexture(spellID)
        })
      end
      aura_env.last = now
    end
  end
end
steel zinc
#

you will get prism after fdk got theirs

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

eleem says it sucks. I will still ride into the get it tomorrow pvp war chest farm.

haughty mural
#

Good thing we got 2fdks this season

steel zinc
haughty mural
steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

it is not stellar but better than HoC

empty canyon
#

I mean

#

that's a great flow chart

lilac stag
#

we have three DKs on the roster.

alpine wraith
#

kinda good

keen dome
#

Showing which boss drops tier sets is really good at a glance.

haughty mural
#

What do WWs want nowadays ?

swift tinsel
#

To reroll

lilac stag
#

a spot in raid

empty canyon
#

I understand your intention with it being good loot, and then colors for trinkets and tiers, but I think people will look at it, not read and just assume only raid drops good gear

vale pine
haughty mural
#

We have also 2 of those OMEGAKEKW

keen dome
#

This is really helpful to like, glance at and go "oh if I do X I can aim for Y"

#

I like it

haughty mural
#

Our setup is so cursed right now

fleet wharf
#

I think the Bis trinket border is a bit hard to tell apart from tier set one

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that graphic is a great at-a-glance resource, big fan

empty canyon
#

I will say it's wonderful to look at everytime I enter a dungeon

#

To know what I hope to drop

keen dome
#

I think Froggy has a good point there

lilac stag
leaden prairie
#

fuu thats quite cool im ngl

alpine wraith
#

yea beast

lilac stag
#

idk if they’re just friends of people we recruited last tier or what

empty canyon
#

I think you can do like, a little bit of a different color code, so it's very easy to tell at a glance

keen dome
#

I think it might work better if you simply had a "Good" and "Tier" selection, and dropped the "BiS" part entirely.

empty canyon
#

I am not sure what the solution is, I am just saying it takes a little bit to realize what im looking at

keen dome
#

'Cos I think people fixate on BiS too much, and simply chasing the good stuff is often a better thing to do than chasing pure BiS.

steel zinc
keen dome
#

And ultimately just being able to go "Okay so ths dungeon has a load of good items in" is really helpful

chrome palm
empty canyon
#

But it's damn good information really easily understood, even at a glance

steel zinc
#

for sin and sub

#

one trinket covers both specs

leaden prairie
#

fuuuuu

leaden prairie
#

waht if you gave us the layout to do the same for outlaw

#

uwuuu

chrome palm
empty canyon
#

you just need that last bit of information to be quickly understood as well

alpine wraith
#

time to cook the APL for pvp trink

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

Are we actually running Ascendance over eye?

#

Or lense

short radish
swift tinsel
#

Iirc ascendance is usually the prog st play and lense is good all-around

short radish
#

did i sim something weird?

alpine wraith
#

ascendance is if you also go assa

vale pine
#

alright so:

  • remove BIS entirely
  • add the echo dome passive trinket blue border
haughty mural
vale pine
#

any changes else

empty canyon
#

Yeah I think that's very good

#

You can call it like

haughty mural
#

And I was despairing watching the whole process

empty canyon
#

Gear worth targeting

keen dome
#

Yeah, that's good

empty canyon
#

(still sim) or something

leaden prairie
#

bro it would be so cool if you could embed stuffs in discord where you could mouseover for more info

#

like i so wanna mouseover the pieces

alpine wraith
#

yea imagine

leaden prairie
#

to see what they are

keen dome
#

A guideline of what's worth targetting, rather than a BiS list. Like a "Hey go run this to get good shit" and it's a useful starter guide.

leaden prairie
#

it would go crazy

swift tinsel
#

Dude that would be so sick

chrome palm
keen dome
#

And then having a quick glance of tier in raid is nice

empty canyon
#

Next quesiton is, why is there greyed out loot?

chrome palm
#

i think the wowhead database was lying

alpine wraith
#

sadly discord does not let you wrap things

empty canyon
#

what does that mean?

chrome palm
#

ill check

short radish
alpine wraith
#

because they all become attachements

swift tinsel
#

Ye would save a few droptimizer sims lol

#

Still gonna do my nightly pre-raid droptimizer tho lol

lilac stag
leaden prairie
#

but ye

leaden prairie
#

discord dont let you do shit

empty canyon
#

Is the grey loot possible loot you dont want? is it then worth to put it in this like "at a glance" loot overview

leaden prairie
#

unfortunate

vale pine
#

i can't add links to images

#

on google sheet

#

because that was my initial idea

empty canyon
#

if you think it has value, as it can be changed to tier loot as we get more charges, I see the value of that

alpine wraith
#

there was a way to do it way back with WEBPG

empty canyon
#

So keep it

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

but i dont remember how

hazy breach
#

Wowhead is wrong

empty canyon
#

if you dont think it has value, remove it

alpine wraith
#

maybe you can look into it

chrome palm
haughty mural
keen dome
#

Darn

chrome palm
#

crit/hast and vers/hast

alpine wraith
#

just slam the dawnbreaker one

vale pine
lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

or actually boe ring

empty canyon
#

god I might go sub this season instead of assa

alpine wraith
#

with mastery heavy spread

vale pine
#

time to remove it

empty canyon
#

very tempting

chrome palm
#

taz has like no good loot for rogue

keen dome
vale pine
#

or is it

chrome palm
#

for sub at least

alpine wraith
#

or was only belt that had all the stats

vale pine
#

from hardmode?

warm marlin
#

surely the boe vers/mast ring is cheap af

#

no one will want that

alpine wraith
#

lets pray

warm marlin
#

or the full vers boe ring

alpine wraith
#

i mean it comes like week 4

#

so unluck

keen dome
#

🙏

lilac stag
#

Does priory have the vers/mas ring?

alpine wraith
#

yea

keen dome
#

Yeah, Mastery heavy one

haughty mural
hazy breach
#

Idk theres fuckload of rings and necks this season

chrome palm
#

whatever remains of my dignity will be gone if i secure the vers/mast boe ring funds from my guild

empty canyon
#

I am excited to see the next update if it Fuu, brb gotta cheat in this online learning class my work rquires

lilac stag
#

I forgot where mine dropped this week.

alpine wraith
#

not super heavy but some

keen dome
#

Third boss drops it

alpine wraith
#

priory/dawn

#

are the good rings

keen dome
#

It's counterpart in S2 was the ToP ring which was Versa/mast

warm marlin
#

dawn vers/mast, priory mast/vers

alpine wraith
#

unless we want crit

hazy breach
#

Crit is fine too

alpine wraith
#

yea there is a crit heavy one too

hazy breach
#

Literally anything that doesnt have haste is fine

crystal bone
#

!up

lilac stag
#

I wonder if crafted shoulders ends up being a play

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

crafted shoulders enable double dawn

#

but i also still cope blessed grip is good for m+ at least

#

will use lense for the time being tho

lilac stag
#

I have double lense right now

keen dome
#

Tazavesh has crit/mast ones

alpine wraith
#

i have lense+vers

lilac stag
#

Since that “scales” kekdog

alpine wraith
#

i recrafted grip->lens

keen dome
#

Double lense 'cos i'm lazy

alpine wraith
#

i also have to remember to change enchants

#

to mastery/vers

#

or crit

#

on wep

lilac stag
#

I wouldn’t recommend shoulder since you may get tier there, but longer term maybe

alpine wraith
#

think this tier i will just have a st more heavy set

#

then the mastery one for dung

lilac stag
#

I’ll just use my st set in dawnbreaker and call it an expansion

alpine wraith
#

we are very good in eco dome

#

when double boss gets dizzy

#

or last one pops the 3 bois

#

pop cds

#

go IN

#

also sec tech snap on first boss to end the career of the jumpy things

keen dome
#

I really really like Eco Dome's boss design

lilac stag
#

My desire to do anything mythic + wise is sub zero

keen dome
#

It's a fantastically tightly designed dungeon imo

leaden prairie
#

cause why tf is second boss going imune

#

for litteral 30s

keen dome
#

I agree that the immume is dumb

leaden prairie
#

before damage amp

#

like

#

xd??

keen dome
#

That's the only thing I'd want to see changed. it's bornig

alpine wraith
#

it is so you can build sht

#

literal sub boss

leaden prairie
#

like

#

im already getting punished cause i dont have cds to send

alpine wraith
#

going into amp with 14 sht

leaden prairie
#

on damage amp

alpine wraith
#

and everything ready

warm marlin
#

rng on the last boss mechanic was a bit cringe

indigo current
#

hi guys, quick question

leaden prairie
#

but also i cant do damage cause its imune //

alpine wraith
#

what rng is there on last boss?

indigo current
#

wowhead talents are up to date?

warm marlin
#

ghost spawns

alpine wraith
#

you mean having 2 shadows on on big pop?

hazy breach
#

Its not even a real amp, its just 2 targets being up at the same time

warm marlin
#

no their literal position

leaden prairie
#

call it whatever you want

#

damage window cd

#

thing

#

for cd people

alpine wraith
#

well as sub it is not that big of a deal moving

keen dome
#

Double trouble buddy damage window

rapid forum
alpine wraith
#

remember we move fast in dance

#

and even vanish

#

if you dont have sprint

rapid forum
#

otherwise check pins, fuu made s3 pin with builds

alpine wraith
#

you can also vanish shroud kekw

indigo current
#

nah just wondering cause i see thistle tea is back and ive been playing with cold blood

keen dome
#

Haha

indigo current
#

for aw hile

#

got used to it

alpine wraith
#

yea for m+ tea is good

keen dome
#

Final boss reminds me of FF14 style design.

rapid forum
#

st is cb no tea i think

indigo current
#

ye thats what i thought

leaden prairie
#

First boss is a bit boring

hazy breach
#

You just macro tea to dance anyway

leaden prairie
#

Also the area is too big

hazy breach
#

And forget it exists

indigo current
#

gonna run m0

#

see how it feels

#

ty

leaden prairie
#

Why I gotta run up to it for years

#

Dude is in a raid boss room

#

And it's just a random worm

#

Tf

alpine wraith
#

final boss is FF14 boss yea

hollow spear
alpine wraith
#

likely the dot 1 shots you anywy

#

so cant fail anything

keen dome
#

Yeah it's huge. Do we drop goop to slow the adds during the succ, or is it pretty whatever? I've done it a few times but not really paid attention.

#

To if they get slowed or not, that is

alpine wraith
#

you have to kill them

keen dome
#

Ye, I know

leaden prairie
#

i think it will be more important in higher keys

alpine wraith
#

you slow them so they dont get fast

rapid forum
#

and you focus them i assume

alpine wraith
#

but you can just knock their asses back anyway

keen dome
#

Makes sense, that's what I was assuming if they got slowed.

rapid forum
#

hard to gauge from m0 since everything flops over

keen dome
#

yeah

rapid forum
#

but i would assume it matters more in higher levels

leaden prairie
#

Well

#

From ptr

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

ideally everyone is together and there is a pool where you can railroad them

leaden prairie
#

It wasn't that hard to kill them in 19s even

alpine wraith
#

they are very trashlike

leaden prairie
#

But you do have to swap

keen dome
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

before you had 3 spawns so it was harder

#

but now you can just stack

#

and they fall over

leaden prairie
#

you had 3 spawns?

alpine wraith
#

yea it was silly

leaden prairie
#

before wehn

alpine wraith
#

like day 1 or 2

leaden prairie
#

im like quite certain i did it day one

#

i dont remember

#

hm

alpine wraith
#

maybe you killed them anyway

#

as you said they have noodle health

keen dome
#

Excited to see the pug routes in that dungeon and how much random trash they manage to pull

alpine wraith
#

likely you will pull a lot on the easier parts

#

and just skip others

#

but they also put 100 invisible walls

#

so it might be annoying

the one i linked is on raidbots for some reason. Unsure where they take the information from. I removed it from the list for now tho

solar ermine
#

In aoe when my SnD expires, do i just weave in an Evis or do i not care?

hazy breach
#

It shouldnt expire, as your coup de grace refreshes it

short radish
#

yeah if it expires youre doing something wrong

#

also after you replace last seasons tier

#

you can press snd when you restealth

#

to spend some CP

#

!gear

vale pine
#

alright, if someone spots a mistake lmk

short radish
#

maybe a note that non tier shoulders are preferred

glossy turtle
#

is there a set opener for m+? or is it just stacking flag to 30 and sending cds?

keen dome
#

Isn't the passive trinket from Dawnbreaker good?

The burst is the same as it is on ST, except you replace some of your eviscerates with bps

vale pine
keen dome
#

Otherwise it looks real good, imo

hazy breach
#

You can storm and spread some ruptures while the pack is being gathered

alpine wraith
#

specially in aoe you just put ruptures then flag cds

#

unlikely you get to triple dance but if you can that is quite good

#

if you get 2 it is most of the dmg anyway

slate lantern
glossy turtle
#

okay. I just have seen casual from time to time, use flag and then a bunch of ruptures.

alpine wraith
#

well it is not bad per se

#

if pack wont last more than 2 dances anyway

vale pine
sullen hare
#

Kinda surprised you didn't put the ticking sack from tazavesh on there. Is it only mediocre this tier relative to other trinkets?

alpine wraith
#

we have many decent trinks

because the template is too colorful

#

tornado is very useful for cdr in general and to get ruptures

glossy turtle
#

I just took this one from the m+ build from wowhead.

alpine wraith
#

that works too

#

but uh

#

i would go for the PE one

hazy breach
#

Cant get PE without dropping tfd

alpine wraith
#

i would drop finality

hazy breach
#

And tfd is too good

glossy turtle
#

PE?

alpine wraith
#

but maybe that one is better

hazy breach
#

Finality is very strong for Bp

alpine wraith
#

is it? i was getting good results with PE but checks out

shadow lance
#

Rotten isn't playable at all?

alpine wraith
#

not horrible

#

just a bit behind

hazy breach
#

Idk people say its good but does not sim well

#

The "storm in dance for rotten" thing is very bad now with new tier

shadow lance
#

I was checking ptr keys/log

hazy breach
#

Not like "0.5% worse" type bad

#

3.5% type bad

glossy turtle
#

would the ideal build just have tornado isntead of replicating shadows?

crystal bone
#

wait we only storm for coup then?

hazy breach
#

So if youre gonna rotten it probably has to do some symbols > storm > dance type thing

haughty mural
#

Right now crit is still not as high

hazy breach
#

But even that doesnt sim well

#

So idk

haughty mural
#

So people prefer rotten atm

#

Me thinks

hazy breach
shadow lance
#

I was happy cuz Rotten is fixed

haughty mural
#

Oh mb then

#

Sorry

shadow lance
#

But idk why highest keys were done with it if it sim worse

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

/use Lily of the Eternal Weave

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

warm marlin
#

idk feel like unless you're key pushing things die wayyy too fast to spread ruptures before flag

#

so you kind of need rotten to spread fw at all

hazy breach
#

Nado

warm marlin
#

true ig

shadow lance
#

Wait what?

#

Applying rupture apply fw?

warm marlin
#

no but in order to spread fw in aoe you're going to be storm -> rupturing

alpine wraith
#

tornado storms

#

and they apply FW

#

so you just strike rupture storm rupture as needed maybe 1 bp/evis

warm marlin
#

and then you get more applications storming in blades between coups

alpine wraith
#

then end at full cp flag

#

dance sec tech etc

#

i kinda dont like to use tornado on first opener but for cdr a bit later

#

but pull usually dies

#

so using on pull is not bad either

shadow lance
#

Ok, you just thinking about apply fw with ss used for ruptures

swift tinsel
#

You get a good amount of fw out with that

shadow lance
#

I was like " I missed something wtf"

warm marlin
#

tornado would indeed allow you to skip ruptures and get right into cds and still get fw out without rotten

slate nest
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

yea keep in mind any gcd before cds

#

is a timer

#

for the others to STEAL your dmg

#

if pull lasts long enough you can do very funny things tho

#

like strike cds into sec tech tornado then another double dance

Tornado is an outside cd thing now?

It has been forever

We just ignored ever taking it

warm marlin
#

i stopped rupturing the main target in vault fillers midway through last season ngl

shadow lance
#

Didn't play it since SL

warm marlin
#

strike flag evis for snd right into it

alpine wraith
#

strike flag rupture into cds big rip

#

all the tornado cope is Cring

alpine wraith

it is useful but not fun to use

I went into zuldazar, 4target dummies, I did 4 minutes, log doesn't show

#

ah okay

Do level 8 delves give hero gear in the vault?

hazy breach
#

Yes

slate nest
#

I'm still slow on opener and I am super clunky on burst windows

shadow lance
#

You don't need to be fast

#

Just be sure to put the right amount of gcd in dance

hazy breach
#

Go practice the opener from the guides over and over and over

shadow lance
#

In the right order

hazy breach
#

Yours is whack as hell

#

Then you do the exact same thing 90s later in the fight

#

The burst sequence (aka the opener) is 90% of the spec

shadow lance
#

And you got the little burst sequence every time you dance

#

The shit you do between doesn't matter

slate nest
#

okay so, when do I dance? outside of burst sequence

#

okay

soft oriole
#

wait no it does matter, that was for his above message

slate nest
#

ah

shadow lance
#

No, it was before

#

Ahahah

hazy breach
#

It matters a little bit, but for now focus on doing the opener and doing the exact same thing 90s later when flag is ready again

shadow lance
#

I fixed

lilac stag
#

!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.
shadow lance
#

BUT you need to be sure to have your cds up for the second shadow blades window

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

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 Blades procs between the 2 Coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
shadow lance
#

Better sit a bit on it than not having up for cds

slate nest
#

okay, one more problem I see, I don't have backstab in stealth/dance on my keybinds, only when outside of stealth

hollow cobalt
#

how much dances/symbols should i send in between flag?

hazy breach
#

1 or 2

#

Depends on how much aoe there is and how much uptime you get

hollow cobalt
#

do i send on cooldown or i have to wait till i can do 2 dances in a row?

hazy breach
#

Not 2 in a row no

hollow cobalt
#

so i send 2 dances in between my flagellation asap?

#

with symbols sectech?

hazy breach
#

You make sure you have 2 symbols, 2 dances, 2 sectechs for blades

#

And then you use as many as possible inbetween while still being able to do that

hollow cobalt
#

okok

slate nest
#

so opener is always evis spam?

#

wait Imma try

#

and we'll see

Where are you practicing?

slate nest

valdrakken dummies, I don't look at details but logs show dps normally

so it's gonna be fine

hazy breach

isnt the single target dummy next to the aoe dummies in valdrakken?

hazy breach

Its actually really hard to make a guide that conveys info clearly without being a long rant

how many targets do we swap from ST on a prio + nimble flurry cleave on adds vs bp spam?

it is now 4 targets or so

!fuu

bp has gotten buffed quite a bit

soft oriole

oh, well I have been doing that wrong lmao

bright elk
#

Thats what I thought, TY. BP felt pretty good in the few m0s i did this week, but wasnt sure if it was the right thing to do

loud brook
#

and only in brust or small cd windows

#

at least thats what i saw on the sim, not sure if the sim is correct or not

hazy breach
#

4 targets in general is fine

#

The find weakness stuff was just confusing too many people so we started recommending just 4 targets instead, its not simming that much worse than caring about find weaknesses (<1%)

slate nest
#

this doesn't look good still

alpine wraith
#

mostly ok

#

if you are in doubt you can bp once and just keep using evis for kinda good dmg and a bit of juice

#

but 5+ bp unless sectech/coup

slate nest
#

I had wrong talents lmaooooo

lilac stag

basically fuu did a cleanup

But the guides are updated

you can, but with playing PE and having in general more crit this season

it loses value

PE is the crit buff on sod?

yes sir

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT

#

But do we press sod outside of cd?

#

That's the thing that make my brain die

#

Because, I press sod and dance together

#

So I never press SS

#

So I don't get the sod crit buff on SS

vale pine

let me illustrate something for you

#

bp is the go to finisher in aoe again (4+)?

swift tinsel
#

Tbf if you’re only using CB with Sectech having it macro’d together is the same number of binds as having them separate

#

Bc you’d have a naked Sectech bind anyways

shadow lance
#

Just said I pressed together, like you press flag and blades together

stoic pier
#

My bad then, thought that was the case since you said you were pressing them together

winter galleon
#

Is sin and sub somewhat close in stats or if I do streets/dawn and switch to sin I gotta switch wraps and everything

Stop thinking so literally

Sin takes whatever stats and sub wants any besides haste

winter galleon
#

What about wrap?

swift tinsel

Switching between dagger specs and outlaw is where you’ll look at more disparate gearing

i aoe its a lot gcd apart

Huh

shadow lance
#

What?

swift tinsel
#

Why would there be more gcds between flag and blades in aoe

shadow lance
#

Are you confused aswell?

stoic pier
#

But about SoD without SD, the idea is use it on cd but always trying to line it with SD and remember to have at least 2 charges for your burst window, so like 1 charge and another almost up when your flag + blades are returning

vale pine
left ledge
#

you shouldnt ever change your flag blades usage really

#

you will always flag before your dance

#

and you will always blades after the first sectec

#

or with it

shadow lance

#

one day sectec will work as intended Despairge

grave mango
#

10/10 illustration

shadow lance
#

But, I still don't get the PE value for SS applying FW

swift tinsel
#

More crit = more fw from storm

vale pine
#

haha thanks, was just low effort paint

shadow lance
#

But you don't press a lot of SS during SoD

#

Cuz you use it with dance

vale pine
#

you almost exclusively use ss

#

ss = shadowstrike

shadow lance
#

Woops

vale pine
#

with tier set you use storm too

shadow lance
#

I meant Ss for storm

swift tinsel
#

Ye with the s3 set you’ll storm to avoid EB waste

vale pine
#

i know^^

swift tinsel
#

So you end up using it more during dance/blades/etc

lilac stag
north schooner
#

they should rename shuriken storm to something else to make it less confusing Okay

swift tinsel
#

Storm

#

Strike

alpine wraith
#

next expansion sec tech gets changed to 1 hit

#

shadowed finishers is dead

#

FW back to 100%

lilac stag
#

@swift tinsel that’s very confusing

alpine wraith
#

we need to look at the timeline where this happens

shadow lance
latent finch
#

if i have coup up going into cds do i use it after flag before dancing?

shadow lance
#

Not outside , we agree

swift tinsel
#

You don’t need FW as much in aoe bc of the BP buffs

vale pine
#

yes

sullen hare
#

Sorry hacha best I can do is a 16% buff to black powder

lilac stag
#

4T just send BP is what it looks like the numbers have concluded.

swift tinsel
#

Yea

sullen hare
#

BP and coups right?

lilac stag
#

fuck FW. All my homies hate FW

shadow lance
#

So, we get PE value on storm only twice every 90 sec

#

And it's better than rotten?

sullen hare
#

Or is it just brain off BP spam

left ledge
#

guys what if shuriken storm worked with trickster

vale pine
#

the effort to track fw is high, so would say yes if you hit bp on 4 its perfectly fine

shadow lance
#

Prolly the Crit buff on the rest > Fw on every target?

vale pine
#

the diffrence is very minimal

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Crit buff on everything plus dropping CB in m+ means crit gains value

lilac stag
#

for the amount of headaches FW is, it’s just not worth it to be the default imo

shadow lance
swift tinsel
#

And more buffed coup crits with new set

shadow lance
#

I'll need to test it more than in the M0

limpid sage
#

How do you make brann not off himself to nether rifts?

he just decides it's a soak mechanic

was the same with underpin

the headache was always something brann related

is circe bugged on raidbots
it still sims 1.6% higher than a 675

yea took mine off with a 691

Mastery crit buff during cds

quasi wedge

so stick with sim result ok

silent ruin
#

My 683 feral sims 6% higher than 687 subtlety

Imo vers is a bit more consistency

Just add 10 - 20% Purple to each sim (purple does nothing)

But in reality my sub does more damage

So sims are off

lilac stag

No

keen dome
#

Sims aren't representative of actual gameplay

sharp lake

I'm just a little surprised given chaos was advised last season

keen dome
#

They're a sandbox'd simulation of a specific encounter to help you estimate something in a controlled enviroment.

#

I.e., is X better than Y in the context of this hypothetical scenario with real world applications.

silent ruin
#

Or cross spec sims are meaningless

lilac stag
#

No

alpine wraith
#

sims are done to gear and choose between things to equip or enchant

lilac stag

Gestalt literally spelled it out for you

clever delta

!fuu

of course when warlock sims almost 2m more than you

They're answering a complex mathmatical question for us

alpine wraith

that also means something but

silent ruin
#

Even if I set fight to 1 minute, feral wins, that's certainly not true

alpine wraith
#

sub is very cool because we are able to move dmg quite a bit

clever delta
#

@vale pine will you be adding tier set sims? sorry if answered before

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that flexibility is one of my favorite things about the spec

keen dome
#

Same

#

I cannot express how incredible it is in pugging.

likely until i get M forge i will run that

maybe to illustrate the power diff but yea

make sense

do we get some tunning tonigh or we are done, what do you think guys?
