That’s about where I’m at when I equip FG neck , will get more when I can catalyze tier legs too

#

As soon as I swapped some crafts I’ve been getting showered in mastery gear lol

tribal blade
#

might honestly recraft my dagger from crit+mast to crit+vers

swift tinsel
#

Pretty sure that’s what I did

#

Dagger ring neck all got recrafted to crit+vers or crit+mastery

#

Oh and bracers too

tribal blade
#

cue whispyr going on a rant about how secondary stats don't matter

#

and how we piss him off

swift tinsel
#

Lmao I just do what the robot says when the gain is over 1%

#

Otherwise I wouldn’t bother recrafting/gemming

tribal blade
#

as sin i just try to get a lot of crit because it feels way better to play sin with high crit

#

and sub i try to lean into vers because might as well get more DR

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that’s one of the reasons I’ve swapped some stuff too, playing sin in dungeons more

#

I just use vers flask

tribal blade
#

me too

swift tinsel
#

I hover around 20% without it so I feel pretty tanky baseline

tribal blade
#

i love having high vers

#

makes such a noticable difference

swift tinsel
#

Lol same, I check logs or details and I’m always lowest damage taken

#

Even when playing like a dumbass

tribal blade
#

yeah rogue life 😉

swift tinsel
#

Kinda wish cheat was baseline and we could run elusiveness all the time lol

#

Be truly immortal

in the dungeon build i swap cold blood for tea but how and when do i use tea and can i simply macro it somewhere?

verbal gust
#

Hey everyone does anyone know when to use the netherprison?

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

Either every blades or every other, depending on what you want/need

verbal gust
#

and we dont care about stacks? @hazy breach

short radish
haughty mural
hazy breach
#

Yes

haughty mural
#

E.g. if I get forge and prism

hazy breach
#

But im not really sold on double on-use

clever holly
#

do we stack to like 8 every blades?

hazy breach
#

Or 16+ every other

clever holly
#

y give me more to think about -.-

haughty mural
#

I mean I passed on first antenna and forge for the team anyway - so it’ll take i while till I get to double on-use

clever holly
#

so if theres a dmg amp every other is better but without just sending is the same right?

hazy breach
#

Yes for amp you would want it maxed

void hound
#

how long does it take for netherprism to max out?

#

roughly

hazy breach
#

It stacks exactly every 10s

#

So exactly 180s

Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.

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.
void hound
#

does netherpsirm start out maxxed or is it basically useless on pull

hazy breach
#

Useless on pull

sly shore
#

You can get 1 stack before its not useless!!!!

Keep making the sub great again

#

People are so surprised

#

with the damages

big sub power

shadow lance
#

That became my goal

#

Put in people mind Sub is awesome

alpine wraith
#

man german words are funny Kundeneinkaufswarenabrechnungsfachkraft

#

next week we are rising for sure 4p and forge+prism

#

just believe

likely got said as a joke

#

nice that seems like an incantation

valid yoke
haughty mural
#

Press buttons 2ez

shadow lance
#

Press button in right order

valid yoke
#

Got it

shadow lance
#

I try to improve by following Stealthi optimization things

#

Like, supercharge the second coup in normal dance

valid yoke
#

Are we still doing the whole

#

Shuriken storm on ST for second coup bollocks?

limpid sage
#

what do you mean 'still'

#

we just started doing it

#

(yes to my knowledge there's no change)

valid yoke
#

I wasn’t sure if that was the norm

#

😂

shadow lance
#

It is

#

And I forget 1/2 time to do

valid yoke
#

I tried assa for a bit but the energy starvation feels awful so I’m just gonna otp sub

#

Cos it’s more fun

limpid sage
#

ye assa apm is way too low

haughty mural
valid yoke
#

So here’s a question, what if the storm doesn’t get you to 7cp for second coup? Do you use another builder or just spend anyway?

limpid sage
#

it's only within sblades you do it, so it'll always give full cp

valid yoke
#

Ah gotcha

haughty mural
#

The storm thing is only in blades

#

Oh too slow

valid yoke
#

What do you do outside of blades then?

limpid sage
#

I haven't tested on APL if it makes sense to do it on 5+ targets

shadow lance
limpid sage
#

but I just do it whenever it gives me full cp, which is probably wrong

haughty mural
#

But thx

shadow lance
#

Yes, you could sod sectec coup coup

#

@vale pine am I seeing something wrong or was it a mistake?

kkk tyty

alpine wraith
#

just raidbots does not translate it well but does use the stats

meager coyote
#

❤️

alpine wraith
#

it is mastery btw

#

if you wanted to know

meager coyote
#

ye I assumed but I was like wtf is this oversight

vale pine
#

but you can put whatever in cloak

#

these are not permanently lost like gems

alpine wraith
#

just not haste

vale pine
#

so you can easy switch

meager coyote
#

ye I know haha

vale pine
#

but crit/vers and mastery are all super clos

#

close

#

just don't use haste

meager coyote
#

ye I mean iut depends on my sim

#

was just looking into trinkets

limpid sage
#

would be nice if we'd get the ww treatment in terms of haste scaling

meager coyote
#

to see what I'll suffer over this patch, and noticed the cloak : )

limpid sage
#

buffing our finisher dmg by x% haste or something

meager coyote
#

I was also coping hard that the reason it's 2x on use is due to the cloak being a mistake 💀 but I guess 2 on-use gameplay it is fml

hazy breach
#

Just play antenna

limpid sage
#

ye or bind one of them to sblades and make a habit of pressing prism before sblades

meager coyote
#

I mean I'll play w.e will sim best but I personally find double on-use as bad gameplay

#

from design perspective

#

except maybe when it's some sort of an "press this to do big dam after ur cds"

#

but that's usually a sign of bad class design XD

hazy breach
#

Dslice is only 6 minutes

#

So double on-use gets more value since most of the value is being able to use it on pull

alpine wraith
#

double on use is if you know what you are doing likely

#

antenna and other passives are mighty good

#

for m+ it seems banger tho

limpid sage
#

isn't antenna annoying to play?

alpine wraith
#

not really

#

the balls come to you

limpid sage
#

oh ok

alpine wraith
#

the proc is rng tho

meager coyote
#

I still remember the smolder+branch gameplay

stoic pier
limpid sage
#

guess there's some slight optimization playing it like smolderon fight

#

waiting for your cds to get closer and then hogging all the balls at once

alpine wraith
#

prism is better kinda

#

as sometimes you delay like 10 to 20 secs

#

and kinda lose nothing with it

I feel like sub does much better boss dmg in m+ than assa, like insanely more

if there's nothing pulled on the bosses, definitely

#

If you're able to pull onto the bosses sin is just free

#

I dedicate it to all players who answered my questions here

#

tyvm

crystal bone
#

and i'm still parsing 99's

warm marlin
#

Is not a gain to wait

valid vault
#

even if you don't get a sectech in the second dance?

warm marlin
#

The earlier you cast sectec the higher the chance you get your coups off in blades

#

and the faster it comes back up for 3rd dance

#

so long as you cast dance off gcd before the clones land if sectec cast is close to dance ending you’re only missing a bit of danse damage amp

valid vault
#

ok

#

ty

crystal bone
#

if ur able to get 3 sectec's off in blades then i might try to do that

#

if u however mess up and the clone lands outside of dance its a big loss

#

so i always played it safe

warm marlin
#

You won’t get 3 sectecs off in blades but you can get a finisher and maybe first part of sectec off with flag still up + a lot of flawless form stacks

crystal bone
#

it seems tough to pull it off lol

#

gotta be gcd-perfect

#

it feels satisfying to be gcd-perfect in every dance window tho

#

the extra coups from 4 pc is game changing

the gloomblade rotten cook is crazy

#

gloomblade season??? purple backstab, my beloved?!

warm marlin
#

wait

#

when did they fix gloomblade applying fw from the front

#

it still didnt last season

#

@hazy breach

swift tinsel
#

ew it does

#

probs some ptr copyover weirdness

granite pecan
#

What's the % of mastery before diminishing?

spice matrix
#

Gloomblade cook??

warm marlin
#

taking rotten seems like a bit of an overcook when you can just shadowstrike in cds instead but the gloomblade tech seems good

#

would have been nice on sprocket

gaunt bluff
crystal bone
#

yes, every sectec is always supercharged

hazy breach
#

It definitely wasnt working on sprocket

alpine wraith
#

likley one fo the ptr fixes we didnt catch

#

or added this week

hazy breach
#

But also idk if gloomblade is even worth it anyway, you have to scuff your tree so bad

alpine wraith
#

who knows because communication with blizz kek

#

tbh i would not even drop imp storm

#

XD

hollow spear
#

dunno if you can force the sim to not apply fw via backstab

warm marlin
#

its just position=front

#

doubt the gloomblade fix is in sim tho

hollow spear
#

yeah, but you can sim the loss you have from not having fw

#

and then the less you get from talents

#

and kinda cross check

#

according to the bot, I lose 3,5% from speccing gloomblade

hazy breach
#

Gloomblade is like -100k compared to just natty standing behind

strange chasm
#

but on fract you cannot stand behind

#

so that would make sense

hazy breach
#

But you can storm for FW and/or start the blades window with strike instead of backstab

#

So im fairly sure its better to just not spec it

strange chasm
#

could also just play fb ass lmao

hollow spear
vale pine
#

gloomblade seems meh, so not sure why you would talent into it

warm marlin
#

as long as you shadowstrike for cds (unless you magically proc fw) its only about a 2% loss to be stuck in front

#

so probably not worth with your 3.5% number

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.

signal moth
#

why not macro CB to ST?

hazy breach
#

!cb

wicked joltBOT
#
  • Why is the Cold Blood and Secret Technique macro not recommended anymore?
    When you macro these two together you often end up using it outside of your shadow blades window rather than inside of it, and since Subtlety gets so many damage modifiers inside its cooldowns its actually more damage use it only in Shadow Blades
    (yes, even if you end up losing casts of cold blood). Ideally you use it on your second Secret Technique as it will be buffed by more stacks of Flawless Form and have higher Flagellation stacks.

Does anyone know the loss in dungeon dps taking cb over tea?

bleak night
#

everything

hazy breach
#

Roughly 1% either way

#

(as in tea is ~1% loss on ST and cb is ~1% loss on aoe)

Me thinks tea is only really ahead with new 4p and the more crit you get from the higher ilvl gear

Or am I tripping ?

#

I was holding off last season as I mostly love sub due to nostalgia (WoD times where you had the same amount of bleeds as sin)

I missed multi-dot bleeding

#

but... who cares

#

sub stands for subperior amirite

left ledge
#

For m+ I like sub more than sin

lucid jackal
#

But it seems like it never does for some people

left ledge
#

Echo is playing sub on king but

#

I’m unsure how sin performs there

#

Seems like sub is for platform

bleak night
#

yeah i didnt watch to see what was going on with it

#

will see if exile also goes sub or tries assa

left ledge
#

I watched a bit and it seems like his strong point was platform like we suspected would be the case for sub

#

But I didn’t see if he even attempted sin

#

Probably comp dependent honestly

#

Sin could prob crank boss harder

#

But it would def not do as well on platform

bleak night
#

i think its likely liquid just copy echos comp

lucid jackal
#

Hmm so it seems like the damage amp copium and also the ability to move cooldowns does matter

#

Interesting

bleak night
#

they've already proven it gets you to p3

lucid jackal
#

I wonder who was smart enough to comment on that

bleak night
#

now its just executing p3

left ledge
#

Not sure what the amp has to do with platform adds

#

You can remove the amp from the fight

#

And it wouldn’t change anything

lucid jackal
left ledge
#

King is platforms and mech

#

No you unfortunately can’t use and to correlate something irrelevant to what the spec is doing

#

I would love for that to be the case but it’s just irrelevant to what the fight is so far for echo

lucid jackal
#

It's cool to see the game is more than ST patchwork sims as per usual

left ledge
#

And -> the implication that two or more subject matters are linked

lucid jackal
#

So the entire reason the spec is good on forgeweaver is those two factors

left ledge
#

I’m talking about king

#

Not forge

lucid jackal
#

Well the reason to play the spec on king is the same

#

Shifting CDs, and damage amps

left ledge
#

Well you would play fb sin

#

So…

#

No?

#

The cd timings seem to be pretty natural tbh

#

Sub does look very strong on platform though and I highly doubt sin can fulfill that role

valid yoke
#

So question then

left ledge
#

You’d have to go DS probably and then you’d just lose to sub for boss dam and your platform wouldn’t be much better

valid yoke
#

On a short damage amp like platform would you save flag for when it’s over and just pop a dance and sod etc

#

Or would you pop all

left ledge
#

The platform isn’t the amp

valid yoke
#

Oop, bad example then haha

left ledge
#

The amp is the dragon afterwards

#

It’s a 30 sec amp

valid yoke
#

Same question then would you save or shove?

left ledge
#

But you’d pop on the platform at least that’s what it’s looking like

lucid jackal
#

depends what ur team needs

left ledge
#

He was able to pop on platform

#

And on boss

valid yoke
#

Gotcha

left ledge
#

I think I saw the cds come up like 10-15 sec into amp

#

But yeah it’s def gonna be a comp thing

#

Also though sub is one of the best specs for dealing with situations like the platform

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.

#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

hazy breach
#

You lose a large amount of your combo point and energy regen by having a non-dagger offhand since theyre slower

Yeah, if wep speed matters unlucky

Man….looking at the damage numbers makes me feel like I’m just doing something woefully wrong vs top players

steel zinc
#

gear is more important early on since forgeweaver without nerfs wont be a thing for 99% of guilds

#

once rwf is over you just nerf that fight into the ground

steel zinc

26/26 players have 4p

no we cant, but theres no point really. the reps would help but boss will be nerfed next week (by blizz or gear) and we have 24 extra mythic items on mains this way

leaden prairie
#

hm idk

#

i think its a very big rep boss

#

like we spent an entire night progging it tonight

#

and yes we wont ever kill it tonight

#

but we just wipe to skill issue

#

so

leaden prairie
#

i think its valuable prog time

fringe palm
#

would you consider those 3h more valuable than 20+ mythic items

chrome palm
#

im about to jump off

rigid pasture
leaden prairie
fringe palm
#

were in a spot where we prog bosses that get nerfed and we loose all advantage sadly. best example is sprocketmonger

#

we had it 1% prenerf

#

and then the boss got deleted

#

why prog

#

i dont like that its efficient this way but it is

leaden prairie
#

yue

#

we did the same

#

you just need to be better tho

#

grind 30 more ranks and kill bosses pre nerf

fringe palm
#

hard to gain 30 ranks if there are 11 guild ahead of us KEKL

leaden prairie
#

same shit

steel zinc
#

kinda pointless for 99% of the guilds starting to prog forge

unlucky for zac only 7 days in a week

ovinaxx was easier than forge

#

and i wanna play more

#

i swear this game

#

idk

steel zinc

yes it was but had also had certain requirements for a cc chain

leaden prairie
#

i just wanna raid all day you know

steel zinc
#

and m+ is done after week 1

#

Also Rogue is not bad this tier arguable the best melee class, just the tier is range king

vagrant sinew
#

you guys do demon hours after raid?

or just during the day

i mean push keys are after prog generally

or wdym

i raid 1 day a week

i mean

#

this week

#

arent push keys bro

#

we just one shotted them all for free

vagrant sinew
#

you know what I meant!!

steel zinc
#

15 keys are like 12 keys last season

leaden prairie
#

it wsnt any hard

alpine wraith
#

they are just too good

#

they time a 14 into timing a 15

leaden prairie
#

well no i dont know what you mean haha

#

we just played like

steel zinc

like the whole season is a joke in m+

saturday afternoon

alpine wraith

tell that to the demons depleting my 11s

and timed everything

idk

#

also i took 2 weeks holidays

cause im a degen

and i wanted to play wow

we legit probably depleted one key this season never been this easy

if you always get the orb it is decent

it'd be replacing my champ seaforium

#

also this is my first season with ara kara, that dungeon is not fun if your group doesnt know it

#

wipeless if they do ig

tight monolith
#

use the track from your edict to upgrade your seaforium if it gives you a free track

#

champion or hc abit irrelevant rn since yeah you dont wanna use gilded on hc items either way

dusk stone
#

dont think i can

#

both of my trinkets are 691 and its asking for crests even with the new 701

tight monolith
#

a fair fair

#

yeah when you get another 701 you can boost your champ forium to 701 for free

I think taking rotten still is the play TBH

dusk stone
#

i figured 30% more on evis and bp sounds really good tho so was worth exploring, and its fine

chrome palm
#

The insta 20 fw is good

dusk stone
#

you're using storm as a gap closer anyway though while tank gathers

#

for rupture spam

chrome palm
#

Yeah but it wears off pretty fast

dusk stone
#

i try it more and see ig

#

how much more dps is finality like 2% or something?

serene notch
#

my sims like me taking TR > 1 more pip on finality , shrug.

#

I think that guy takes CB as well, pretty much S2 build

#

no tea

tepid trellis
dusk stone
#

are you dropping deeper daggers as well?

tight monolith

I have the sub rogue role in here but I am a fraud, been playing mostly assa last seasons. After lurking some in here tonight I feel the masculine urge to do some sub rogue keys tomorrow afternoon. Hype

lofty lance
#

imo those talents are the move for m+

#

doing big dam

#

but idk maybe take deeper daggers over finality

#

idk if its worth

serene notch
#

I think i like replicating shadows over ST as well

lofty lance
#

ye idk i dont like ST that much

#

it feels illegal to not play the rotten in keys

serene notch
#

Dslice likes ST though

dusk stone
#

yeah it feels like it

#

but do you track how much fw is up

lofty lance
#

ye

dusk stone
#

i did an ara kara and never wished for TR

serene notch
#

i have a FW tracker

#

what i dont understand is how peoples dam profile skews so hard on nimble flurry vs BP

#

is this due to 4 piece or something?

lofty lance
#

this find weakness weak aura is sick

#

it also tells u when to bp or evis

dusk stone
#

think my sim is telling me the TR build is 100k more dam

serene notch
#

yea sameish

lofty lance
#

i think cold blood might be better too for some reason

#

the s2 build kinda pumps

#

i think i do more dmg

dusk stone
#

resimmed with DD instead of 2 finality and its less

#

i think finality might be better, dslice doesn't spread rupture a ton so it gets its aoe FW value solely from TR

nah jk thats crimson vial

@hazy breach bricked 14 DB

sub feels amazing right now

alpine wraith

surely next week i get 4p and get to enjoy the game

tribal blade

i wonder what good can i even get from vault

#

like mythic tier at most

#

because hc trinks are kinda whatever

#

but im already at socket number 1

hazy breach
#

Sub goes hard

tribal blade
#

yeah sub feels very good

#

feels better than sin right now

alpine wraith
#

sin needs more tactical play

tribal blade
#

honestly would also play sub in ecodome because juggling the mark on the 2nd boss sucks

alpine wraith
#

but sub even with 2 meh on uses is blasting

warm marlin
#

ecodome has so many prio targets though

tribal blade
#

yeah true

lofty lance
#

sub in all keys

#

sub in all raid bosses

steel jolt
#

do i have to sync all the cooldowns together? it feels like shadow dance is always up

lofty lance
#

sub is life

steel jolt
#

so i'm just waiting for shadow blades all the time and then use everything all together?

tribal blade
#

very bad if you go into cds without enough dance and symbols

question of the day: does Wound Poison not work in pve most of the time? Like for example does it work on the healing trash in Priory or Floodgate?

alpine wraith
#

it does work

#

same as the guy that heals in halls

bleak night
#

wait am i supposed to have been using double on use in keys

alpine wraith
#

it is good yes

#

but you kinda need to know when to use them

bleak night
#

i only have lily and signet because im a loser

#

and i know nothing

alpine wraith
#

im using lilly and pvp trink

#

but ideally you have forge and prism

coarse flare
#

How to use double on use? One with big cds and 2nd one when?

hazy breach
#

Every other

#

You just rotate

#

Prism one, forge one

#

Etc

#

But idk i wouldnt suggest it

coarse flare
ripe smelt
#

can you spread rupture on sub or have to apply manually?

hazy breach
#

2x per cast with replicating specced

dusk stone
#

There is a lot to it

brittle plinth
#

But I mean

#

That's the jist

#

But do check the guide out

steel jolt
#

yeah i read that but it has a priority list, not the question i asked

dusk stone
#

Ok so I'll explain the longer way

slate lantern
#

classic assa player

brittle plinth
#

Lol

#

I didn't want to say it

steel jolt
#

if you don't know or you're gonna be a dick just don't answer

dusk stone
#

It's not a simple answer dude

#

This isn't assa where you can button mash and get top parse

steel jolt
#

okay, i will just block you

dusk stone
#

Holy

steel jolt
#

clearly you have nothing useful to offer

brittle plinth
#

90% of it is as simple as saying you want to stack as much as you can around your 90s CDs. But there is a bunch of nuance playing around your set bonus and getting to your 90s.

dusk stone
#

You stack cd's during flag, you use 1-2 dances between flag windows more or less but there's a lot more than that

brittle plinth
#

But you can't be a sub player till you try and castsequence your opener only to have it fail enough that you fall back to learning it

tepid trellis
#

cant say that ive tried that

brittle plinth
#

😉

coarse flare
#

Same I never even thought about trying that

brittle plinth
#

Wow y'all better human beings than me then hahaha

tepid trellis
#

i did do that on Assa tho when we did 25sec speed kills

brittle plinth
#

There's no pain like it breaking and then having sb and flag off by 15s

random mason
#

Can just use oba now

When your part in your rotation and tank decides you Don't need to be in boss range, that's my favorite part

So much pain to be had lol

jagged rover
#

I swapped out cheat death for elusiveness last night on mythic plexus, because I'm staying in for every soak cast and still taking less damage than some people taking 1 soak each time

dusk stone
#

Elusive is just better in general

bleak night
#

cheat better bc im bad

alpine wraith
#

elusive is objectively better in a lot of cases

#

but we are not perfect

#

so cheat it is

brittle plinth
#

CD hides your fuck ups

hazy breach
jagged rover
#

I generally prefer cheat for the safety of it, but I figure on this fight if something procs cheat, the rest of the raid is already dead

hazy breach
#

Elusiveness doesnt make feint give you 40+20%, its 40% OR 20%

bleak night
#

well yeah you use cheat to help make sure you can vanish at the end

hazy breach
#

And the 40% already works

bleak night
#

and save on repair bills

jagged rover
lucid jackal
#

but it is overrated

alpine wraith
#

it is very good on fractilus

#

that dot SLAPS

#

what is funny about feint is some dots and shit that do constant dmg are also coded as aoe

jagged rover
#

the only scary part on plexus so far is because I run off ahead of the raid because I do nothing to the adds anyway. Considering if I need to swap the fatebound node to get more leech or if tempted fate is better sustain

hazy breach
random mason
#

Well AoE DoTs are still AoE

hazy breach
#

Its obviously fine

alpine wraith
#

having evasion as a defensive is very good too

#

but cheat is just so good for many things

lucid jackal
#

It's obviously not backed by numbers, but 2 on use will help more with adds than not

alpine wraith
#

and the safeness

lucid jackal
#

You're probably good enough without it

alpine wraith
#

maybe more consistent

#

and that is kinda what you want really

#

predictable

#

although we do have sone rng so who knows

#

that pull you get 8 double unseens and go couper mode

lucid jackal
#

We need a discord tag that I can apply to all sub rogue doubters

it was 14 DB

dimensius remains to be seen

Idk even liquid forgot sub existed for forgeweaver at first

bleak night
#

yeah they didnt bring a rogue at all until they saw echo doing it

radiant shale
#

Dh trio too

dusk stone
#

They were running sub at soul hunters?

bleak night
#

exile was playing assa on council, idk what perfecto was playing

#

know he started outlaw but thought he swapped to assa too

radiant shale
#

Not liquid, but method/echo did

#

And they did more

dusk stone
#

Really, what for?

#

There's no damage Amp at hunters

short radish
#

just trying shit or something

#

you have pretty high uptime and its perma cleave or something right?

radiant shale
#

Maybe deathstalker assa is not strong enough

short radish
#

just no one practices outlaw for RWF kek

jagged rover
#

I think fatebound sin is really good on nexus king, but glad to see exile playing sub right now

unkempt sundial
#

hi
sub is better than assa now right >?bigger dps ?

lucid jackal

Both are good

#

Depends ont he raid encounter

#

Depends on the dungeon

unkempt sundial

on m+

#

cause i see top ranks of rogs playing sub

lucid jackal
unkempt sundial
#

xD

alpine wraith
#

yes assasination does a lot of overall too

#

but sub has this control that you can really enjoy

lucid jackal
#

U can play either in keys and it should be good

merry agate

Duuuude... it just clicked with new 4 set...

Play all around Coup
Sectec ist just Coup enabler now 😱

#

a whole new world ~~~

dusk stone
lucid jackal
#

I haven't played sub in keys yet really

#

But if I had to guess, literally just the raid build

#

I feel the tornado shit is just cope and bad but

#

I'm not an authority on the subject

#

Go check WCL to see what ppl are using

bleak night
#

tornado is always cope and bad

jagged rover
#

I liked no tornado, playing rotten and 1/2 finality

bleak night
#

all my homies hate tornado

dusk stone
lucid jackal
#

I dont think finality vs rotten actually matters much

#

Just pick 1 and base your personality around a 0.1% dps talent

bleak night
#

real

golden totem
#

Based

alpine wraith
#

tornado is fine if you use it for what it means

#

getting cdr

#

faster

#

to get into next dance

#

or to get a super dance going

dusk stone
#

Is finality not a significant increase in ST?

alpine wraith
#

using sec tech then tornado into 2 finishers then dance with 2 unseens

lucid jackal
#

I mean even the PE talent shit is like 0.1% damage

#

and its a loss for me

dusk stone
#

I see

#

So it just doesn't give a lot of actual value or we're losing something that gives us a lot of value

#

Like 30% to evis on a boss seems jacked, no?

hazy breach
#

To me you kinda need either rotten or tornado

#

Finality is mostly for BP

tepid trellis
#

rotten is the vibe

hazy breach
#

Ye sim just hates using the storm in dance for rotten

#

But not doing it feels so ass

dusk stone
#

I need to do more keys but It being redundant atm

hazy breach
#

And seems bad numerically

#

So idk

dusk stone
#

What talent are you giving up that gives you the same value as finality in ST?

lucid jackal
#

Rotton

#

Literally go sim it rn

#

Finality vs rotten

#

Its like 0.2% dps

dusk stone
#

I was using s
Dslice but that's kinda bait because it's not replicating tank pulls

#

I didn't do st though yeah

frail kindle
#

Idk in aoe I kinda got used to tab target striking instead of rotten tbh

alpine wraith
#

rotten shines if pack ahs low time to die

#

as you get a fast FW on everything and slam them

hazy breach
#

Ye nado does the same thing

alpine wraith
#

and even then yes

hazy breach
#

So if you dont get rotten you kinda need nado

#

Idk fw cringe

alpine wraith
#

tornado also makes you even faster rupture spread brrrr

short radish
#

i refuse to press nado

frail kindle
#

I run no rotten no nado just tab target lmao

short radish
#

i'd rather admit guy is right than press nado

alpine wraith
#

yea sniping targets with no FW

#

with strike

dusk stone
#

Tank usually takes awhile to gather everything in some pulls so I just spread rupture and fw until it's done

alpine wraith
#

was always a win

#

since old times

hazy breach
#

I mean the main issue is fw falling of mid blades

dusk stone
#

Fair yeah

alpine wraith
#

yea duration is from wrath times

#

when dance was 5 secs

#

kekw

frail kindle
#

Yo true

frail kindle
#

Why tf is fw so short lmao

lucid jackal
#

Rotten is 0.4% st dps loss

#

It just doesn't move the needle much

dusk stone
#

But then you also have to move for mechanics and stuff and might be in MD

alpine wraith
#

it gets worse on st as you get more crit but even then

#

our talents are just not that good

dusk stone
#

How is critting a single builder superior to evis doing 30% more on a boss

alpine wraith
#

we choose 4 secons on ONE dance

lucid jackal
#

well its 2

alpine wraith
#

over some random double hit on builders

hazy breach
#

Its 7.5% more evis damage per point

lucid jackal
#

It buffs the 1st swing of coup as well

dusk stone
#

Because you have to build it?

lucid jackal
#

and not the other 3

alpine wraith
#

and coup is kinda bugged with it too

lucid jackal
#

A lot of talents just dont do a lot

#

Ur just thinking too hard

dusk stone
#

Oh coup is bugged

hazy breach
#

(and roughly 1.5% more coup damage per point)

alpine wraith
#

it buffs first or second hit

#

pog

#

(almost all dmg is on third hit)

hazy breach
#

Coup is split 25/25/50

#

In terms of % of damage

dusk stone
#

Ty

hazy breach
#

First hit on cast, second after 0.4s and the last at 1s

alpine wraith
#

got a random ring on hero map

but at least my alt got the void trink

maybe i get to rank 3 next week to be able to buy the champ thingies
