dusk stone
#

and then we are disgusting in keys

tepid trellis
#

and so is assa

fleet wharf
#

Assa is more disgusting in keys rn arent they?

tepid trellis
#

yes

dusk stone
#

thoughts have been purposed here about it being too strong and getting nerfed though

#

like the spec itself is just in an ackward tuning position for raid and m+

tepid trellis
#

sub will still not do top AoE in keys

fleet wharf
#

If they buff evisc, wouldnt that dtill buff our aoe due to flurry?

dusk stone
#

with another 10% aura?

tepid trellis
#

unholy dk and assa exists

tepid trellis
#

so not really

#

if anything it would just make us use nimble's target cap

fleet wharf
#

Oh, all the bp buffs pay off

dusk stone
#

its a buff to smaller packs and boss damage for keys mostly which in theory sounds like our job

#

like buff evis by like 33% or something then ig

fleet wharf
#

Since sec tech is capped at 5, they could also buff sec tech damage too, no?

dusk stone
#

ig the question is how long is blizzard really gonna let us be the worst raid spec in game

#

we're trying for the 3peat currently

scenic oxide

fleet wharf
tepid trellis
#

sub wasent bad first 5 weeks last tier

dusk stone
#

yes we are in the worst part of the last patch already

tepid trellis
#

until they buffed everybody else but sub

dusk stone
#

about at the same point where we got 5% aura

#

how far into the rankings does flat 5% get us atm

fleet wharf
#

I feel this time we need more than 5%

limpid sage
tepid trellis
#

top mid of the pack

limpid sage
#

better to buff something that's also outside our burst window

dusk stone
#

i feel like 5% is something that they might do

#

but we might just get straight forgotten too

fleet wharf
#

Backstab buff garf_sit

tepid trellis
#

dont think sub is seeing buffs maybe in like 5 weeks

dusk stone
#

like we got no clue we were just abandoned and if that situation has even changed since then

#

i would not expect buffs

fleet wharf
dusk stone
#

prolly nerf sin and the locks

#

buff ret

tepid trellis
fleet wharf
#

Up to arcane feels a bit overtuned, rest of the curve looks mostly ok if they are already buffing ret, fire and arms

tepid trellis
#

at most they take the dead last ones and slighly nudge them

fleet wharf
#

So we are in a really awkward spot where we are technically good enough on the meters to not warrant further looks for a while?

haughty rose
#

raid pug is absolutely ridiculous. couldn't played during the week and now i can't find a normal run even tho i'm 690 and s2 aoc and 3,2k rio because i'm not 8/8 NM already wtf

#

i get insta declined lmao

fleet wharf
#

U aint warlock buddy

hazy breach
#

Fairly sure coup is directly based on eviscerates damage

#

So an eviscerate buff would indeed mean coup does more damage

limpid sage
dusk stone
#

yeah i was worried about that

tepid trellis
dusk stone
#

we are F'd for buffs really, not more than 5% at a later date

#

hope for redesign in midnight

hazy breach
dusk stone
#

keys too

#

tier is massive

#

realistically like 40-60% should be on 2p +2p which is what 14.5% less overall than 4p

hazy breach
#

But ye middle of the pack is kind of where we expected to land

dusk stone
#

so its just bait because everyone on sin

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up. This is to build up Shadow Techniques for your cooldowns.
  • 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.

/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.

hollow spear

This should outperform Pacemaker in M+ if it sims on par? Or does the sim take dying enemies into account?

hazy breach
#

It does not take the dying thing into account

shadow lance
#

@tepid trellis Are you still running rotten talent for M+ ?

vale pine
#

it should not matter that much before you get better egar

#

*gear

shadow lance
#

Yeah, depends on %crit we got

vale pine
#

you will target a bit more crit with more gear

#

and tier set is relevant

still quartz
#

vale pine
#

i would not mind secret buff too

#

especially changing the soft cap to 8

shadow lance
#

Wdym ?

#

You speaking about another subject mb ?

vale pine
#

the discussion stealthi/eleem and i had earlier

#

of sub buffs, and what to target

#

basically, evis damage would be nice, especially if you can increase coup damage with it

#

and i think buffing secret would help too, because its a good burst spell

dusk stone
#

until the clones phase to the kill zone underneathe the boss

shadow lance
#

I'm sure clones are not able to hit dimensius

vale pine
#

another thing i still don't like is the eneryg cost of storm

its too high

depends on the pull size

what key

shadow lance
#

@vale pine I think's there an error in the !gear picture. Check boots, colored one are the bonus boots and the crit/haste

Idk have to figure out this applying fw business, all options feel kinda ass

dusk stone

well they will like the learning curve thats for sure

odd sandal
#

hi guys is it possible to get thistle tea to cast with shadow dance but NOT with backstab?

hazy breach
#

Spec rotten and use storm before dance means symbols runs out if you dont have inev, speccing rotten and using it in dance means you lose a strike and stack coup slower, not speccing rotten means you have to storm a bunch before you send. Tornado solves some of these but only when its up

#

Idk it all feels kinda ass

vale pine
honest dome
#

but maybe not, not sure 😄

shadow lance
#

But yes, it sounds kinda awfull to use

shadow lance

You won't use tea twice

Only if the boss has been really naughty

tight sparrow
#

im telling you

#

this is not normal

#

gapp

dusk stone
#

of all the changes that feel the weirdest its super strange to try and do the sub math for how much dance and symbols are worth outside of flag

#

i lost 2-3 flags on my last priory just thinking it wasnt neccessary

tribal blade
#

part of the reason why sub could do with some cd management pruning

#

one way to solve it is make sectec only castable in dance

#

1 less thing to track

keen dome
#

I'm still team "bake blades into dance"

#

But I also like SecTec in dance only

i also like baking blades into dance

Sec tech doesn't hit dimensius?

fringe island

I feel like dimensius phase one is just hard to hit lol, especially in the soak

frustrating as hell

keen dome

He's a very small large man

#

Basically a very thin waist. Hence the small hitbox. He tapers up.

tribal blade

blizz with super inconsistent boss hitboxes is awesome

iirc he said floodgate

keen dome
tribal blade
#

the last one i kept ranging myself on was the 1st boss of streets

#

that boss' hit box is way smaller than what i feel it should be

dont know

keen dome

I've had a few sectec fumbles 'cos of range on stuff too

Ah, okay.

The orbs on Araz are annoying, too

tribal blade

Okay huge.

tepid trellis

streets

dusk stone
#

it can prob only be done on a 10 or higher

tribal blade
#

streets is pretty cursed as sin

wintry seal
#

yes, sure.

dusk stone
#

stuff dies too fast earlier, i got 7.2 on flood earlier but any flag mob evaporated too fast at a 9

tribal blade
#

my overall is good in streets, i just have to save x2 vanish charges for the music boss

#

and even then you have to drop mark for an entire add set

short radish
#

or you could just play sub

keen dome
#

Street is pretty cursed in general

tribal blade
#

ngl i'm getting sick of running sin, i want to play sub tbh

crystal bone
#

i love the trio boss as sub man, getting 20 stacks of damage buff then blowing a flag window

dusk stone
#

you realize streets is a sub key right

tribal blade
#

and it was REALLY fun

#

trickster 4pc is bangin on sub

keen dome
#

It's such a good 4p

#

I'm digging it in raid

dusk stone
#

fixes a lot of problems

keen dome
#

Yeah

hollow spear
#

4p is a banger

fringe island
#

I don't even have 2p yet fml

short radish
#

cant wait for 4p

tribal blade
#

it's a deeper issue when you need a tier set to fix spec problems

#

but at least the bandaid is holding strong haha

keen dome
#

Maybe we get it as a talent

#

lol

tribal blade
dusk stone
#

it wouldnt be as good without the 2p portion of it

fringe island
#

i wanna be a double coup boi

real panther
# vale pine it is a lot of work to re-design a spell

yeah a lot of work when all og engeneers have left the boat. when new comers have hard time to find the line of code that could let us tag with inter-faction friends in content that is... inter-faction, you know that each little thing will be hard

dusk stone
#

its like 4x the coups

#

you get so many

#

you start getting them outside of any cd after they are all spent

silent ruin
#

If coup procs n is pressed, then next finisher should be coup or cold blooded sec tech during cd window ?

fringe island

guys I crafted my dagger yesterday using my spark and the crafted gear item from the raid quest, I realised afterwards I crafter everforged dagger, I wrote a ticket and apparently they don't reverse mistakes from crafting, feel sooooooooo fkn bad I'm such a dumbass

short radish

tribal blade
#

classic mistake

real panther
tribal blade
#

back in 2016 i got the devs to reverse a similar problem i made with gear

because customer support was actually incredible back then

i got given the "normally we don't help out with these kinds of issues, but we'll do it this once"

It was

They've closed their main offices for it which sucks

real panther
#

play a game with me: "one of these dagger is for casters. will you find which one it is?"

tribal blade
#

yeah i guess you just need to be very careful in game now

#

to not bork anything

keen dome
#

Yep

tribal blade
#

my guild's mage got his spark eaten a few tiers ago

keen dome
#

First line is now the mega org microsoft have in India, iirc, using templates.

tribal blade

and he got a shitty response from them

yeah but as pointed out. support was giving a f

fringe island
#

I wish the crafter guy would have been like

#

hey

jade urchin
fringe island
#

this is an int dagger btw

keen dome
#

Yeah, they need a warning

tribal blade
#

yeah it should come with a warning

keen dome
#

"Are you sure you want to craft this as it does not have your primary stat on it"

#

Or, you know

#

thye could make a single dagger with two stats on it

real panther
#

support today is like their dev. all is procedure and strict guideline

#

its a game ffs

tribal blade
#

jesus christ

jade urchin
#

lord knows why agi and int daggers arent shared

short radish
#

multi speccing is banned

tribal blade
#

well depends

#

because some weps are only for either melee or casters

#

like the int dagger this tier

#

the special one

keen dome
#

Yeah

jade urchin
#

they can separate them if they have a cantrip still

keen dome
#

Like, you can have special cases

fringe island
#

dw guys my character is super smart now

jade urchin
#

they clearly do it with other weapons too

keen dome
#

but in general you can just have non-special ones be dual

tribal blade
#

yeah the crafted one should be dual

I bet it's a spaghetti issue

but the vers/crit neck sims 1% upgrade

thats with vers flask tho, so they're actually pretty much in balance

not bad

#

how much does echo pay?

opal basalt
#

130k full normal, 350k full heroic. then 30% early bird bonuses and if you bring 3 characters (like i did) 50% more bonus

short radish
#

pretty good

opal basalt
#

didnt do dimensius with echo so i only get like 250k or so from heroic

#

yeah it felt pretty worth it this time around

charred willow
#

Outside of blades, and assuming you have fazed / flawless form up, at what number of targets is it worth to use black powder over coup de grace? Or is it always worth using coup under those conditions for the CDR it offers / dmg?

vale pine

4+ you use BP

#

for coup de grace

#

you always want to use it

Thanks I will look for the addon and see whats next. However I dont see the connection between this add on the command in game and how that works with Raidbots and the armory. This is why its not obvois to me.

#

Is there any condition where you BP instead of spend coup? Just feels odd to press my eviscerate button in a 15 mob pull lol

shadow lance
alpine wraith
#

coup does a lot of dmg and gives you flawless stacks

#

so no

#

imagine bp hits for like 2m per target

#

and coup hits for like 20m to one target

#

and around 13million to 7 others

#

+gives you finisher dmg so ruptures and bps after will do more dmg too

short radish
#

also cdr good

crystal bone
#

is it just me or do u never push BP in dawnbreaker

#

just feels like theres always a prio target

alpine wraith
#

evis does not do enough dmg to use instead of bp unless you have coup most of the time

#

if 4 targets and FW

#

and also a funny thing if you just used sec tech you can tab target to targets without FW with strike

#

to make bping even more effective XD

alpine wraith
#

yea outside blades you would lose a bit of dmg

#

although if there are at least 7 targets imo it is fine to use it on normal dances

#

as you fill cp so you dont lose SHT

#

and get FW also on some

#

also a funny one to do if you have a huge pull that will last a bit is to strike sec tech

#

tornado rupture x4 and 1 evis first if no snd

#

then you get sec tech back and have the 2 unseens

crystal bone
#

does coup also give snd?

yea coup also gives snd

you will do less dmg but i cant stop you from using evis

but its more on the big target no?

which makes the pack die faster if the big one would be last one alive

  • 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.

Do you guys roll the new M+ build every dungeon or just the high target count ones?

#

Because the old M+ build is 3.7% ahead on ST and even on 5t for me

#

Yet I see a lot of people using the thistle tea build?

warm marlin
#

im still playing rotten cb

limpid sage
#

Me too but I see the appeal of the other one on something like priory

warm marlin
#

thats what assa is for

#

idk I like the on demand burst of rotten without having to do the rupture ramp stuff

#

and i will NOT be talenting tornado

limpid sage
#

Shadowcraft do be annoying to play around with all the coup casts though

tepid trellis
#

just gotta look at your ShT stacks whenever you cast coup

limpid sage
#

Yeah but if it’s the hit that comes in at one sec it’s basically either delaying gcd to react or assume you won’t get a proc and maybe overcap cps

tepid trellis
#

you dont lose anything from waiting until coup is over

limpid sage
#

No?

chrome palm
#

any dark brew truthers

limpid sage

not unless you wait 0.8 sec

I’ll try to have that in mind then

-25 minutes of time and no crest save gear

and it feels so bad

so you get baited

limpid sage
gaunt bluff
#

hmm maybe

tepid trellis
#

and each coup hit can proc Shadowcraft

#

so

#

gotta wait it out

gaunt bluff
#

I will try waiting more to see how it feels

#

btw does anyone have a list of important spells to meld/vanish this m+ season?

limpid sage
#

At least make the last hit come in just after the gcd is refreshed

gaunt bluff
#

feels like there arent that many

tepid trellis
#

and to wait long enough to actually lose a gcd

#

lets say you double coup in a dance

#

thats 2.4 seconds

#

you still have 0.6 seconds of wiggle room

#

in the whole dance

hell yeah 118% mastery

0 crit tho

his coups and sectechs wont crit

so -50% dmg

#

unluck

alpine wraith
#

kinda busted atm

swift tinsel
#

wait really

#

that's nuts

alpine wraith
#

yea going full mastery is not the best can confirm never luckyt on crits

#

but hey mastery set gets to almost 150%

#

sadly it sucks thank the dr for that

sweet current
#

i gotta know, with that much mastery

#

do you just hit like a 10 point evisc and insta kill anything

#

or what

alpine wraith
#

nope

#

finishers hit hard but it is nothing special in the end

#

losing lots of vers/crit

#

does not help you get like 70% from flag and also 20% from tea and flawless also gives finisher dmg

#

so having mastery from gear is not crazy

jagged rover
#

yeah, I'd rather have some more crit. Probably will end up with some crit gems once I start optimizing for raid prog anyway and drop my mastery some

sweet current
#

😮

alpine wraith

if you see me play with 49k mastery just do as i say not as i do XD

thats the same spec I've been playing with my low crit

pseudo sail
#

this is probably a very common question so sorry in advance but i'm still so confused as to when (and why) you use black powder as a spender in aoe. I keep seeing outside of shadow dance windows, but shadow dance has nothing to do with nimble flurry? sorry just confused

left ledge
#

Because it does a fuckton of damage

tepid trellis
#

4+ targets

#

you bp

left ledge
#

And on 4 targets or above

jagged rover
#

dont overthink it, just 4 targets, hit it

pseudo sail
#

also inside CD windows?

left ledge
#

Yes

#

Unless you have ub stacks to use for coup after a sectec for example

#

But you’d basically always bp over evis unless coup is up

tepid trellis
#

prio is

left ledge
#

(In 4+)

tepid trellis
#

Coup - Sectech - BP

#

at 4 or more targets

#

generally speaking

#

outside of your first sectech in major cds

in a regular dance yeh

just not the first dance in blades

Fuu wrote like this

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
jagged rover
#

during 2nd dance in cds or outside of cds, do you eat supercharger stacks with both coups if they line up or do you prio sectec for one of them?

tepid trellis
#

sectech

#

always

shadow lance
#

So, we can supercharge coup in regular dance ?

#

Oh

jagged rover
#

kk, thats what I've been doing but wanted to be sure that was correct

left ledge
#

Sectec should always be supercharged

shadow lance
#

How you prio coup if you supercharge sectech?

left ledge
#

You don’t for super charge

#

You prio sectec

tepid trellis
#

dont SoD before coup

left ledge
#

If you have coup up first just spend the first coup normal

#

Then supercharge

#

As long as one of your supercharge is on sectec you’re fine

shadow lance
#

Dance > Coup sod > Coup > Sectech

left ledge
#

And in blades just sectec and storm for the coups

#

In aoe as well ofc

tepid trellis
#

what i do with coup and sectech sometimes if i see i have alot of ShT stacks ive done this

#

coup-sectech-coup

left ledge
#

Yeah as long as you can get the coup off without wasting a ub stack

shadow lance
#

So you can sod early ok

left ledge
#

It doesn’t matter that much

tepid trellis
#

its just about not wasting UB

left ledge
#

I try to have the second coup charged in those awkward scenarios

tepid trellis
#

like coup does so much fkcign dmg on AoE

left ledge
#

Because I think it does more damage

tepid trellis
#

its insane

left ledge
#

But i haven’t read set tbh

opal basalt
#

man gimme the 4p already

#

gotta wait until next week

#

no more chances for me this week

But last I remember it does like 50% more dam?

tepid trellis
#

2nd coup is the fat one

left ledge
#

Yeah

tepid trellis
#

yes

left ledge
#

Yeah dude coup is like

tepid trellis
#

had the last hit of coup on momma hit for 31mil

In my top 3 in aoe

It’s fkin nuts

#

With combined details ofc

I'll focus on that

#

Dude the tier is so fucking good when it procs

#

When I see my escalating go up by 2

Fkin nut

tepid trellis
#

third boss in priory

#

like coup

#

is fcking insane

left ledge
#

Yeah ngl

#

I enjoy sub in m+ a lot this season

#

We actually have some gameplay changes

opal basalt
#

i hope i will enjoy it, right now with only 2p i feel like i hit with a wet noodle most of the time

left ledge
#

Although sadly sin still does more damage just for existing

tepid trellis
#

first boss in eco dome

tepid trellis
#

did both other dps's boss dmg combined

opal basalt
#

yeah i just swapped to assa, because i do more damage even with sub stats

left ledge
#

Dude when you have cds ready and like 10 sht going into a boss

#

And 2 ub

#

It feels like the stars fucking align

#

I’ve bursted almost 30m on some bosses

#

Just straight fkin juice

opal basalt
#

outlaw felt very disappointing sadly

#

then i got daggers

#

tried sub, felt meh

#

assa just does illegal damage idk

sullen hare
#

I have so many questions

left ledge
#

Assa just does infinite damage all the time if there’s mobs

#

But it feels very boring to me idk

opal basalt
#

it is

left ledge
#

I hate CT play style

opal basalt
#

i really enjoy sub and outlaw, because they got something special

shadow lance
opal basalt
#

assa is just boring to me

tepid trellis
#

on both spawns

#

so it was just ret single target in AoE talents

left ledge
#

Sub is such a pad spec though for real

#

But it’s not our fault

#

We literally can’t stop it

tepid trellis

can't wait for next weeks nexus king

man max lied to us on stream

left ledge
#

Did he

opal basalt
#

he literally said rogue was unsittable in race

#

and now i see no rogue in raid

left ledge
#

I mean it depends on damage events

jagged rover
#

atrophic doesn't work on any of the actual damage in that fight I think

left ledge
#

Like last tier rogue was kinda useless on stix

shadow lance
jagged rover
#

we kill dimensius sunday and I can't wait to shit on the boss as fb sin, that spec does so much damage

#

Dude forge is so shit on sin

#

So maybe that’s why

alpine wraith
#

adds on forge are up all the time it seems

#

so tornado gamers

left ledge
#

Deathmark is so bugged on that fight

#

You can’t dm any pillar

#

You have to constantly be aware of wanting DN up to swap

#

It’s a very shit DS fight

#

And I don’t think fb sin is great on that fight because of adds

#

So maybe if a rogue is played it’s sub angle

opal basalt
#

hear me out

#

you play outlaw

I’m telling you sub is slept on forgeweaver

!cbbug

wicked joltBOT
#

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:

  • Relogging.
dry plank
#

Log off and login

bleak wind
#

ye apart from relogging

left ledge
#

Prob swap spec, retalent out of it

#

Then go back into sub

crystal bone

bleak wind
#

do they have different spell ids the assa and sub ones, and if so can you put the correct one in the macro that way

left ledge
#

Same spell im pretty sure

#

Or wait hmm

#

Fb changes cb

#

So prob different for fb sin

bleak wind
#

can you even put spell id in a macro

swift tinsel
#

Pretty sure

#

Iirc there’s been spellID ones for old covenant abilities (nope doesnt work)

tame terrace
#

can u double cast sequence macro for tea and dance?

Why sequence

tame terrace
#

to not double press things

#

i mean like

#showtooltip 
/castsequence reset=2 Shadow Dance,null 
/cqs

left ledge
#

You would have to double press for sequence no?

tame terrace
#

but two of those

left ledge
#

I mean you technically can sequence them but if you just macro with regular cast then you can just press dance once

#

guys so what abilities are fine to macro together? I'm trying to figure out my buttons for this spec bc there are so many lol

shadow lance
left ledge
#

It’s just rogue isn’t great on forge master for a variety of reasons

#

For example sin would like to play DS on that fight

#

But mark is completely shit to play on the fight

#

Because it disappears off pylons and intermission adds

#

Forcing you to make weird plays around your DN uptime

#

And FB loses value because of the adds

#

There’s also quite a bit of environmental damage (I think) which makes atrophic quite bad

#

The race prob goes to next week anyways

gaunt bluff
#

is there anything wrong with this macro? i just want to make it so i cant double press it by accident

#

but i cannot press it even after 1 second

shadow lance
#

Did you try with bigger reset?

left ledge
#

Change it to 5

#

Honest question though

#

Doesn’t it auto have spam press protection for a short while as is

shadow lance
#

Tea doesn't

left ledge
#

Im a button spammer but I’ve somehow never accidentally pressed symbols more than I had to

#

Yeah tea doesn’t

#

I know that

shadow lance
#

SoD, idk

left ledge
#

But at that point just macro tea to dance

#

Are people spam pressing dance

shadow lance
#

It's more for the backstab

gaunt bluff
#

so if i have the reset macro

#

i cannot press sod for legit like 20 seconds

left ledge
#

What does backstab have to do with it

stoic reef
#

guys

gaunt bluff
#

but u can see u can spam it

#

in the clip

stoic reef
#

how good is araz compared to lily

#

in m

shadow lance
#

The rest 5 is when you press dance/backstab on same keybind

left ledge
#

That was like

shadow lance
#

So you don't proc tea twice

left ledge
#

Over the course of 3 sec

#

And was slightly spaced out clicks

gaunt bluff
#

i mean yeah but sometimes i still double press it like maybe once per dungeon

#

and its just annoying

#

i cant tell why the macro doesnt work

left ledge
#

Did you try reset 5

gaunt bluff
#

yes

left ledge
#

Can you show

gaunt bluff
#

i changed it right after u said it

left ledge
#

Like what it does

#

Like that clip

gaunt bluff
#

it takes like 20+ seconds for me to be able to cast it again with the macro

left ledge
#

Is that the same macro

#

Saved and moved to the bars

#

It shouldn’t be doing that

#

Try dragging it to some other empty action button

#

Remake, save, drag and click

gaunt bluff
#

yeah it was the same

#

i saved another clip

#

then tried moving it on my action bars like 10 times randomly

#

and now it works like it should?? LOL

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 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.

#

nah this shit is so bugged

#

now it doesnt work again

and its the only spell on all the action bars that behaves like this

i fixed it by just removing the Symbols of Death from #showtooltip

now it works properly

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up. This is to build up Shadow Techniques for your cooldowns.
  • 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.
lusty epoch
#

@iron plover

#

Above is the explanation for the second coup

#

And correct me if i'm wrong, i think i saw someone post that 2-set is 10% dmg increase and 4-set 20%. So very important to get it

i dont see any downside

hazy breach
#

Just like transmitter wasnt nerfed

tight sparrow
#

playing double on use

hazy breach
#

Or if you dont have mobs in combat always in keys

alpine wraith
#

in m+ it is very cool but on raid you kinda play with no on use for a bit unless you have forge or pvp trink

hearty sluice
#

Hey guys, I'm new to sub rogue and I have a kinda dumb question. I've read through Fuu's Wowhead guide and even saw Shindingg's video for example but I still don't quite get the priority for AoE. I thought that if I have flawless form buff up and less then 7 adds I should use Eviscerate as my finisher for the Nimble Flurry cleave but then I saw that I should use Black Powder if there are more then 4 adds 😅 can someone clear this up for me please?

hazy breach
#

And you dont have it on pull

#

Thats 3 (or atleast 2½) notable downsides

tight sparrow
#

is there any good 2min trinket?

#

on use

jagged rover
tight sparrow
#

2min trinket into prism into 2min trinket

hazy breach
#

Signet sucks ass

tight sparrow
#

yes forge

vocal pine
#

which is the best atm for raiding single target ?

tight sparrow
#

araz trinket

#

you can legit play araz trinket + prism

#

and rotate between

hearty sluice
hazy breach
#

Yes you can but it gets worse the longer the fight is

tight sparrow
#

true

#

on short fights its bad

hazy breach
#

Relative to just prism+passive

#

No opposite

tight sparrow
#

so what do u think its the best combination

hazy breach
#

Prism+antenna

tight sparrow
#

i feel like im keep using prism at 8-9 stacks

jagged rover
#

I was going to pass on antenna for sigil, but since I'll be playing fatebound on most bosses, definitely trying for antenna with the rest of the raid

hazy breach
#

Especially if theres a damage amp coming up

tight sparrow
#

is it worth ?

jagged rover
#

depends where you need the damage

#

next week on nexus king for example I'm probably not using prism on the platform and sending it on the dragon

hazy breach
#

Its neutral in sims

jagged rover
#

instead of the half stacks on both

hazy breach
#

9 on every blades vs 18 on every other blades is pretty similar in sims, so on actual fights the 18 is likely better since you could line it up with the fight better

shrewd lantern
#

3mins you’ll have orc too

#

if playing it

hazy breach
#

Ye

coarse flare
#

Why is it bad to macro sd with symbols? Don't they want to be used together all the time?

hazy breach
#

Not during shadowblades

#

Because if you macro them you would either not supercharge your sectech or have to delay your dance

coarse flare
#

why does that happen im confused

shadow lance
#

SoD give 3 bonus cp to your next finisher, so you want to use it just before sectech to buff it

#

In opner, use is really close

#

But that's the only moment

#

Cuz dance is 8 (12) sec and sod 10

#

And some time, you will press dance but not followed by a sectec

hazy breach
#

And if you use dance+symbols immediately after your first dance ends

#

The cooldown of secret technique is longer than 10 seconds, so you will not be able to supercharge it

#

So then you either delay dance (which is bad, because then youll be missing the 60% amp from dance on some globals during blades+trinket+flag)

coarse flare
hazy breach
#

Or you send dance, and then symbols after

#

When sectech has less than 10s left

coarse flare
#

I think i will make a macro for when i need them together bc my hands arent fast enough to do dance symbols and potion at same time

#

and then also have keybind for them to be separate
