two separate macros ?

lucid jackal

no

#

/cast blades
/use 13
/use 14

#

forge in 13 prism in 14

still anvil
#

for the time that i only have prism i might keep it on a separate keybind for flexibility, because i guess getting forge will probably take a bit longer

lucid jackal
#

The issue with "flexibility" is that unless your prism omega stacked, forge is just more value on a CD set

#

Forge and prism has synergy within each other where prism doesn nothing on pull, and forge is a huge on use trinket thats weakness is that it's desynced with our real CD

#

Being able to alternate between the two is important for the other tbqh

warm marlin
#

90s Prism + passive trinket gives more agi on a cd set than forge does

vale pine
#

agi trinkets have a lot of their power in the main stat, so the on use effect is secondary

shut jay
#

Outside of trinket/CDs, we're gonna be tickling bosses garf_sit

warm marlin
#

Double on use trades having agi on opener and a bit bigger 3min prism goes for weaker windows (when you use forge) plus not having whatever your passive trinket gives you

beautiful paint image since i explained badly before, but basically forge gives less stats than prism + passive does if you stack prism for 90 seconds (i.e. use on cd), while also not benefitting from actual passive part of the trinket and ignoring the fact that forge primary stat decays. so the statement that forge is more value during a cd set is not true, double on use only sims marginally better because having stat on pull is good

merry agate
#

67k agi do be bussin tho πŸ™
kekdog

warm marlin
#

if theres a dmg amp at 4min ya but prism + passive can do 74k agi at 3mins

#

well

warm marlin
#

it can also do 4mins if you just cd 90s instead

alpine wraith
#

2 on uses make lots of fun things to happen

warm marlin
#

and then everything gets cursed with shorter kill times

#

double on use seems omega bad with a 3:30 since your prism stacks get used on a regular dance, forge + passive means not having a trinket at all for 90s blades, prism + passive has nothing on pull dead

lucid jackal
#

What's the nutty setup then

warm marlin
#

playing dk maybe

#

fb assa with 3min prism for execute dm maybe has potential

sour forum
#

playing first dance makes sense to have forge for opener monkahmm

warm marlin
#

forge+passive probably the best option for a 330 ngl, be maghar too and line them up. cry during 2nd blades

sour forum
#

how many classes have that prism as bis? dracthyr_kek and how low are we on the totem pole, thats the question

#

gonna rock that lily for a while

merry agate
#

Cant believe im saying this but...

I miss Transmitter 😭

keen dome

Jump three times

limpid sage

which makes sense since they're also very cd centered

tell the ww to fuck off and go get a lily

prism is mine and mine alone

ww has lily, forge and prism tied basically

sour forum
limpid sage
#

we have 2x marksman as well D:

carmine portal
warm marlin
#

also since i havent seen anyone mention it yet, it's probably worth tracking the icd of prism somewhere. energy outside of symbols is so sparse that your backstabs sometimes come out only every 4-5 seconds or so. if you delay your proc of prism for that long you're not going to have as many stacks going into cds as you could

#

probably a bit cringe to do

leaden prairie

bleak night
alpine wraith
#

you get used to it

sour forum
#

isnt it like 10s?

alpine wraith
#

yes

#

but if you delay it 3 seconds

#

3 times

#

oh you just lost 1 stack

sour forum
#

what are the chances u press nothing for 10s monkahmm

bleak night
#

well

alpine wraith
#

that is not how it works

bleak night
#

its more likely you dont press something for 3 seconds

#

3 seperate times

#

like hacha said

alpine wraith
#

it is because the energy and global would be the same in x time

#

but one gives 2 procs

#

another gives 1

#

wonder what is better?

sour forum
#

oh i see what u mean

#

my bad

alpine wraith
#

also encounters are finite

warm marlin
#

not like you have much better to do during backstab soup anyway

hollow spear
#

Whenever I see Ryldd come up with a new discovery I die a little inside

alpine wraith
#

say there is a 460 secs encounter

#

there is a total of lets say 40 stacks you get

bleak night
#

finally gameplay outside of cds

alpine wraith
#

losing 4 of those

#

is already 10%

alpine wraith
#

and everything kranlging

warm marlin
#

you can see this happen in sims btw

#

im not sure how i would even go about making it play around prism icd

hollow spear
#

Mister raid lead, I am sorry I missed the soak, but I had to backstab to optimize my trinkets icd Kappa

alpine wraith
#

we did it way back

#

when trinkets had icd

#

there should be a way

hollow spear
# warm marlin unlucky

Nothing against you of course. Your findings make perfect sense. It's just that they're cursed kekdog

carmine portal
#

some things are better left undiscovered

keen dome
#

Real good info: I hate it

carmine portal
#

perhaps you dug too deep like dwarves

alpine wraith
#

not really it is fun to optimize

limpid sage
#

compared to playing around tier stacks last tier, tracking the icd on the trink probably feels better

warm marlin
keen dome
#

Ye, way better to know about it than not.

limpid sage
#

it's only really outside of cds that you have to mind it

hollow spear

It's like darkest dungeon

It's just lol rogue

would be neat

havent checked

not on this ptr dummy

hollow spear
#

Good thought. Let's check and find out it doesn't. So that we can feel let down again.

bleak night
warm marlin
#

it does proc sometimes when autoing (much like pacemaker)

hazy breach
#

Ok then, unluck

sour forum
#

wdym "sometimes"

hollow spear
#

Despairge

alpine wraith
#

the proc on autos might be the thousand cuts

sour forum
alpine wraith
#

or poisons wonder which

warm marlin
#

but idk

hollow spear
#

The bottom line is

warm marlin
hollow spear
#

ICD tracking is back in town

limpid sage
#

try playing without things that proc on autos to single out the rascal

warm marlin
#

when i was testing pacemaker and just autoing a dummy it would randomly proc like 7 minutes in sometimes

#

spaghetti code deep inside somewhere

#

happened on this ptr dummy a couple minutes ago

hollow spear
#

Ryldd, please use your time to make Goremaw happen. Thank you 😚

tepid trellis
#

99% sure poisons do

hollow spear
#

Do what? Proc trinkets?

tepid trellis
#

nertherprism

clever delta
#

Forge is vault angle so dont need to cook it much

tepid trellis
#

it is indeed poisons

#

just double checked

warm marlin
#

okay ya it didnt for prism but for this it does

#

saved

tepid trellis
#

avg proc i got was around every 11-12sec

#

just from autos

warm marlin
#

well saved a bit

tepid trellis
#

thats without SnD active or skyfury etc

limpid sage
#

prob still worth playing around when you're waiting for backstabs

tepid trellis
#

so it should just "play" itself

warm marlin
#

probably very small to force it so you dont really have to track it

alpine wraith
#

so force it outside range with shuriken toss

#

ok

shadow lance
#

If I wanna vault try hard tomorrow, set > trinket > socket, do you agree?

bleak night
#

they just nerfed all the good delve trinkets so idek if that would be worth lmao

shadow lance
#

When I say trinket, I mean Lily

bleak night
#

would just be champ track

warm marlin
#

i got 16 stacks autoing over 3mins (also with no buffs) so it does proc fairly often on its own

bleak night
#

would rather just farm it myself

shadow lance
#

Crap yes

limpid sage
#

ye socket > champ track item

shadow lance
#

Forgot it was champ and not hc

#

So Set or socket

hollow spear
#

What are you talking about

#

Just manifest a tier item

bleak night
#

real

#

im even going to get 3 different slots of hero track tier so i can pick whichever one i end up needing

hollow spear
#

Or you can be like me and get 3 boots and 3 capes

shut jay
#

3 tier shoulders garf

hollow spear
#

it's a choice still

shadow lance
#

Set/tier same shit

limpid sage
#

I swear if I get boots and capes in vault

shadow lance
#

We say "set" in french , dunno if ut works in English tbh

bleak night
#

ye we knew what you meant

shadow lance
#

Cloak isn't lootable this tier

shut jay
#

cloaks shouldn't be a thing

limpid sage
#

oh that's nice to know

bleak night
#

im still gonna somehow get a cape

tepid trellis
#

18 stacks just autoing

bleak night
#

open vault on reset and its bugged and drops capes still

id say it plays itself

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:

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.

so outside of that I can send coup natty if i dont have dance or symbols for next like 15s

u decide to play both

in fact u play 3 rogues

i feel like in most cases its outlaw vs assa+sub

am i stupid

gotcha so ignore the opener sequence for now?

image just wast updated

consider it says less/more than 4 targets

And why we dont play cold blood anymore?πŸ€” im kinda confused to play tea with sub

!tea

wicked joltBOT
#

Thistle tea use:
It is recommended to macro Thistle Tea with Shadow Dance like this:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
vale pine
#

secret techniques is soft target capped at 5, so it kind of falls off with more targets

#

then there is critical strike

void ocean
#

we used to have sims for 2-3-4 targets also included in the sheet, I liked that πŸ™

shadow lance
vale pine
#

due to the higher amount of overall stats, we will use mroe crit

just to spread stats more between mastery/vers/crit

^ we will start using storm in dance with tier set

so we have more chances to trigger find weakness

Thought I missed something

vale pine

i mean it should be 8

#

but its 5

alpine wraith
#

we though it worked until 8

#

but blizz did an ehehe

vale pine
#

you can consider it a bug or not depending how you think about it

#

i would say its a bug

#

but unless e.g. on ct

#

where it clearly states a target cap

#

and the cap in the tooltip is wrong because ct is 8 not 5

#

we don't have any indication whats the supposed cap is on subtlety

vale pine

i think you confuse things now

tame terrace

do we swap off old tier for 2p?

vale pine

shuriken storm use in dance

is an optimization

it comes from the tier set buff

Aaaaah i got you now sry was confusedπŸ˜… now i understand thanks

this does not need to be storm as a filler, you could use shiv too for example

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.

!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.

think it was a %

Hello!
Do you have to use Coup inside Sd window? I often end up with coup charge outside sd.

alpine wraith

so it does not end at 0

kinda logarismic

not like irideus

void ocean
#

logaritmic is good

alpine wraith
#

more like ashes

#

im at work but someone can check in the ptr maybe

void ocean
#

i will

alpine wraith
#

and see if it loses every sec or 2 secs

void ocean
#

it drops to 0 over 30 sec

#

loses around 1.3-1.4k every sec

#

so its linear

alpine wraith
#

that might be better for us

void ocean
#

well

#

logaritmic > linear > exponential πŸ˜„

alpine wraith
#

ye would have loved if it only lost a %

void ocean
#

30 seconds means that our 3rd dance sneaks in, right?

alpine wraith
#

wonder if it is worth to sac the first sec tech if only using forge and get that third sec tech

#

with more agi

#

guess it depens on rng

void ocean
#

without s2 tier set stacks its only FF stacks vs more agi

#

could be

why are sub rogue sims low? will sub rogue be bad in raid or what?

alpine wraith

we will have some bosses

but overall nothing extraordinary

a good thing is we do a lot with little

like tier set alone is 30%

ye

I dont think forge is gonna be the play on most bosses for us

past marlin
#

will be nice season?

hazy breach
#

Its probably gonna be fine

vestal escarp
keen dome
tulip gorge
#

we'll probably get a buff after rwf

alpine wraith
#

the important part is watching what happens first week when you see rogues with 4 set prism and 720 weapon

#

cooking

#

then 4 weeks later

limpid sage
#

does pvp trink beat myth HoC?

alpine wraith
#

fighting with aug

#

yes

hazy breach
#

Theres a ton of damage amps this season so

alpine wraith
#

but you need to upgrade it

limpid sage
#

:(

alpine wraith
#

dont worry carved crests are free kinda

past marlin
#

bottom of list again

#

blizzard cooking

alpine wraith
#

unlikely we are bottom

hazy breach
#

Were 100% not going to be bottom in the raid stats

void ocean
#

bruh its patchwerk sim πŸ˜„

alpine wraith
#

because of amps and moving dmg from place to place

void ocean
#

calm down πŸ™‚

hazy breach
#

I dont expect us to be at the top

#

But its absolutely not at the bottom

#

Theres tons of damage amps this season and sub has some of the highest burst in the game

alpine wraith
#

we also can snipe adds

hazy breach
#

And if you dont have BL for the amp subs burst is a lot stronger than other specs

shut jay
#

don't worry, we'll average 4.2m ST average on fights garf

hazy breach
#

While with BL up were doing about as much as the other highest specs (unholy is probably slightly higher if they get PI but...)

past marlin
#

or just play fatebound assa

#

or unsub xd

keen dome
#

have you looked at the difference between those two in your dumb list, though

alpine wraith
#

you wont be happy as fatebound assa on many bosses

#

let me tell you

past marlin
alpine wraith
#

although idk what is worse dealing with DSM

#

or having your coins go nucko to useless targets

#

and other shit

past marlin
#

chill guys i just hate class balance

hazy breach
#

But also for keys all 3 rogue specs are really strong

#

Assa is probably the strongest spec in the entire game

crystal bone
#

could that be why we maybe dont see as many buffs?

#

because we already perform well in keys

past marlin
#

i don't wanna play outlaw in raid, and now after this list they want me to outlaw in my guild

vale pine
#

blizz rarely balances around m+

#

so unlikely

keen dome
#

Guild sounds real bad, lmao

past marlin
crystal bone
#

well actually nevermind

#

cuz bottom of sims means nothing

alpine wraith
#

well rogue does a lot of dmg standalone

#

just remember people woke up to raid buffs

#

i still see some people play with rogue tho

#

we do some cool things

crystal bone
#

im glad i raid on the weekends

#

i get to see all the logs and farm some gear first

shut jay
#

hopefully we wake up to a surprise 45% BP buff

hazy breach
#

Eviscerate buffs is what i would want, but im not expecting anything

shut jay
#

Its astounding we haven't seen tuning for any of our ST abilities since... I actually forgot when the last ability tuning was

tulip gorge
#

buff deathstalker so it's the best ST build Kappa

alpine wraith
#

evis buff has been one of the things we want

vale pine
#

secret soft cap 8 would be nice too

alpine wraith
#

maybe they touch the forbidden code and bp gets bugged again to work fully from shadowed on all targets with FW

limpid sage
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
warm marlin
#

Hopefully it takes most more than 2 weeks to figure out how to maximize the damage amps so we get that sick post rwf buff

#

i will be hard at work with you guys to scramble our brains

#

and teach those people the brain power of subs first 2 weeks

#

strongest brain spec

warm marlin
#

Perhaps the hoc nerfs and having a very strong tier set will help too

alpine wraith
#

i mean day 1 you can get pvp trink and upgrade to 691

warm marlin
#

Most won’t have 4set early and unlike s1->s2 our old trinket is bad

alpine wraith
#

then eventually 701 even if you dont drop lilly

#

if you get 2 trinks

#

getting 2 set will be kinda free too

#

4 set may be rng for people without splits or at least some luck in vault

#

but if i was you i would riot to get some normal or HC curios

warm marlin
#

I’m talking about for wcl statistics

alpine wraith
#

oh our statistics will depend a lot on the highrollers

#

as we dont have much population

#

so it will only take like 100

#

of us

#

to catapult us

warm marlin
#

I think sub is in a decent position to be bad early on

bleak night
#

I will be playing sub on several bosses to help bring the average down

alpine wraith
#

people without prism and bad luck

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

or sandgabbing not crafting dagger etc

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

or straight up being nuts and playing 2 passive trinkets

#

because they rank high on mallet or whatever

lilac stag
#

Just get the int dagger that yoinks you out of stealth.

sullen hare
#

Use a mace as an offhand as a treat sandbag suskaygeagreegebusiness

lilac stag
#

little too obvious. may raise an eyebrow or two

Non rogues have literally no idea whether sub can use a slow oh or not

#

Ez sandbag

Totally going to parse green to help out

#

uh-huh, no other reason

fleet wharf
#

Is there any fight that sub won't be particularly good for in the raid? I'm thinking maybe Fractillus and the DH council fight we may want to be DS assa?

crystal bone
bleak night
#

You won't want to play deathstalker on council if you value your sanity

alpine wraith
#

yea was about to say

#

council as assa in general seems good

carmine portal
# keen dome Bit hot, tbh

Too fkn hot here where I am in the UK so decided I should actualy do some work instead of Kyveza -.-

alpine wraith
#

but then you play it

keen dome
#

Wouldn't you wanna cleave on council anyway

keen dome
#

I'm writing my raid notes for tomorrow and it's TOO WARM

fleet wharf
#

I thought the extra energy would help with DS, didn't really think about target swapping

carmine portal
#

I'm in the southwest, 30ish rn

#

Too sunny to see my screen, too hot to close the windows and blinds

#

fleet wharf

Isn't FB pretty poopy for 3 targets though?

How long does eu maintenance take usually?

crystal bone
#

looking to hire blue guys for mastery buff this week

alpine wraith
#

EU is rng

#

most of the time it can be up at 6 AM or before

#

but sometimes it takes up to 11

#

very rarely tho

steel zinc
#

like thats been the cast since df

#

I always grind m+ like 6am with a group or like 7am

alpine wraith
#

yea the other 18 years

#

things have been kinda diff

steel zinc
#

true yes but those days are over

alpine wraith
#

but as you said recently they are good on eu

#

i cant remember las time we got krangled

#

apart from being in one of the cursed servers

#

like draenor

steel zinc
#

we lit have 0 maintenance

#

yeah but in this decade its been fine

#

Is it this week or next week where we can get the free hc chest from endboss quest?

alpine wraith
#

you mean the craft?

#

or weekly do 4 dungs

fleet wharf
#

Storymode, I think that takes a few weeks

alpine wraith
#

it will take a bit because it was recently

#

or wait let me check

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

next week

keen dome
#

Story mode'll be next reset, ye

alpine wraith
#

and by next week i mean this one

keen dome
#

Which is kinda funny since Gamescom is on the 19th and will reveal midnight before a lot of people have seen the raid conclusion stuff

fleet wharf
alpine wraith
#

12 or 13

#

we do last 2 chapters and kill dimensius

fleet wharf
#

nice, too bad we can't really use it for a while though

solar ermine
fleet wharf
#

you likely want to use the spark for dagger craft this week

solar ermine
#

Ah forgot about the pesky spark

fleet wharf
#

I think we can get our second spark this reset though right? because you can get 2 natty, get the 3rd from quest, and the weekly reset gives you one more?

solar ermine
#

I dont think we have 2 Full ones this reset

#

I only have one full spark and i did everything

limpid sage
#

think it's 1.5 spark

lilac stag
#

It’s 1.5 unless they do an extra via quests

#

usually 2h weapon enjoyers are screwed week one of raid though.

fleet wharf
#

Huh, the dorn quest doesn't give you another half spark anymore does it

lilac stag
#

We have 1 full spark this week. Likely a half on reset

bleak night
#

just wait for someone to abuse a bug to get an extra spark

#

so we all get given one

solar ermine
#

Like last Patch?

#

I dont get why they just dont make it so everyone has 2 First week of the season. Poor 2h users

lilac stag
#

They’re not very good at their job when it comes to logic and keeping players in mind

keen dome
#

They could also make 2H weapons just use a single spark instead of two

lilac stag

when i send all the cooldowns, i get the first dance back, so should I use a third dance ? (even if flag and blades are over ?)

solar charm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
fleet wharf
shadow lance
fleet wharf
#

That's actually a good point. I'm guessing once we get Prism, we won't pot on pull

torpid silo
#

and when blades and flag are on cd, i see if i can use a dance but if the cooldowns of flag+blades and dances line up and i won't have time to get a full dance back, do i just sit there autoattacking to get my shadow techniques stacks ?

fleet wharf
#

General rule of thumb is you want 1 charge of dance and about 40 seconds left on cd for dance at a minimum going into your flag/dance combo. If sending another dance will put you below that threshold, yea you just BS

torpid silo
#

1+40s

#

got it

fleet wharf
#

LE's WA got a estimator for you if you're still using teh WA

torpid silo
fleet wharf
#

you can stop sending evis around 10 seconds in now with 4p?

#

should show up next to flag

torpid silo
#

next to flag is blades

fleet wharf
#

!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.
fleet wharf
#

That's the new rule essentially. Until it gets to about 10 sec before, you can send evisc while maintaining rupture

torpid silo
#

ohhhhh okay

#

so 1dance +40s left on the second,
stop evis 10s before blades

#

got it got it

#

thankss !

fleet wharf
torpid silo
#

so what does that mean xd

fleet wharf
#

so it tells you if you do nothing, how many dance and symbol charges you'll have when flag comes off cd

torpid silo
#

oooooooooooooooooooohhhh

fleet wharf
#

but it can't see the future so doesn't take into consideration what your CDR will be

#

but knowing what those numbers mean should help you estimate how many dances you can send without screwing your flag/blade window

#

If you're starting out, I think it's not a bad idea to be a bit more conservative because like 70% of your damage comes from the flag/blade window

torpid silo
#

thats so useful damn

well antenna is bis for almost all classes which is wild

my money is on antenna

my best attempt was 50% in 15-20 pulls last night lol

brann is the most frustrating thing about that fight

he either bugs out or puts healing pots in africa

swift tinsel

yep he will sometimes just ruin a pull for you

crystal bone

Ngl he's been pretty flawless for me outside of where he throws his potions

#

Maybe lvl 66 brann just isn't enough for me, saw some ppl have lvl 80+

#

Im also only 670

#

My main issue is just timings, I get to 50% just fine but then things start to misalign, sometimes brann has no potions for the suck/face the clone phase

#

Brann

🫑

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

you can kinda bait the potions before the suck phase so they're in good spots

#

bc both are on timers

carmine portal
#

I have the timers displayed with a WA, maybe I'm just dogshit (no maybe about it)

short radish
swift tinsel
#

you usually get a potion set right out of the guessing game

#

but if he gets screwy they'll expire in the middle of the suck

#

but that means you get a new set when the suck damage is the worst

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.

Heyo guys, how are we faring on M+? I didn't play on season 2 but played on season 1

#

I heard something about a physical and a magic comp?

steel zinc
#

Just play game and do dmg. Alle 3 rogue specs can play in most comps except -1 World first keys

#

I would argue you can get with all 3 specs in s3 title

fair stump
#

Yeah its just that my group of friends want to make both a phys and a magic comp

swift tinsel

#

Becausd they like those small optimizations

shy scarab

#showtooltip cold blood

does this macro not work anymore?

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

although assa and sub have very high dmg

shy scarab

tried to use it, doesnt look like it uses cold blood

#

Week 1 any spec can time +10 keys if you have decent gear from s2

alpine wraith
#

do you have the macro on your stealth barΒΏ

fair stump
steel zinc
#

Like player dif is more impactful then a comp for a meta that doesn't exist

fair stump
#

And I'm unsure where does sub go since we do shadow dmg too

alpine wraith
#

sub gets more dmg from monk and monk will do crazy dmg

swift tinsel
#

I did 3k on my mage

I barely binded all keys

#

That should say a lot what 3k is

#

Like it's omega irrelevant what you play for 3k

shy scarab
#

you will eventually outscale the keys, so 12-14keys are memes

Just tell him to go monk and be done with it if he insists
