it stacks up

#

no

#

you cannot

dusk stone
#

so i'm sandbagging on 1st pulls?

lucid jackal
#

Yes the trinket is weak on pull

#

If first pull is that important you can use forge + prism but

#

But double on use is a bit overrated in general so

dusk stone
#

the trinkets also bad in raid too on pull?

tepid trellis
#

well yeah

dusk stone
#

i get its a nuke when we charge it but man thats kinda a steep ask

tepid trellis
#

it doesent change its functionality

lucid jackal
#

YEAH MAN DAMAGE AMPS COPIUM

jagged rover
#

exile shooting up the meters during the dragon burn was so satisfying

tepid trellis
#

tbf like its not really the amps fault

dusk stone
#

is the passive damage on the trinket any good at least

tepid trellis
#

he absolutely fucks up the platform

short radish
#

yeah isnt it more add damage

#

than amp damage

lucid jackal
#

He sky rocketed on dragon amp garf_sit

dusk stone
#

i just slam the thing at every 1:30 after first pull right

rocky ocean
dusk stone
#

and always sync'd with flag

jagged rover
#

he's close to the top before platforms, and everyone mostly stays even to him on add damage

#

going to platform

#

after platform, so he definitely gains

tepid trellis
#

he was ahead by 1mil to the 2nd before amp start

They just bad shield op

#

Is exile playing araz+prism or antenna?

tepid trellis
#

araz prism on nexus

plush roost
#

Havent been following race just saw the hypw

#

Makes sense, and he played double on forge?

tepid trellis
#

yep same trinkets there

plush roost
#

For the 18 prism amps ye?

tepid trellis
#

think he ran double on-use on fractilus as assa aswell cuz of kill timer

plush roost
#

Its hard 5 min fight?

tepid trellis
#

5:10

#

is the longest it goes

Yeee makes sense araz prism araz prism araz

#

Just saw Sub was in the world first 7/8 boss kill and I have to ask if there is a way to know if you are going to get the 20% increased damage from backstabbing from behind? A weakaura or something?

Is there much else that requires rear positioning?

tepid trellis
#

backstab does 0 dmg

plush roost
#

Its the most irrelevant thing of all things, u wanna be behind to apply find weakness vasically

summer crest
#

Ahh so its just CP generator?

tepid trellis
#

yes

wild hornet
#

Double bs for double the copo

tepid trellis
#

backstab hits like a wet napkin from a kids birthday party

summer crest
#

I wondered how it was balanced for modern gameplay mechanics. Last played rogue back in original BC

#

Still no way to weakaura to show if you are “behind” though? For find weakness?

tepid trellis
#

only reason you wanna try and be behind the boss at all times is becaue it applies FW from crits from behind the target

fiery rampart
#

Araz or Lily

#

Or both

tepid trellis
#

just to have that up 100% of the time

fiery rampart
#

Type shit

tepid trellis
#

Lily if you only have 1x on-use

#

araz sucks if its not together with prism

fiery rampart
#

I’m coming back from assass I’m sick of all the fotm

vale pine
#

its secret first then evi/coup

summer crest
tepid trellis
#

easy answer you cant hit fractilus from behind

#

same with dimensius before p3

summer crest
#

Roger so even losing out on find weakness the dps is still good.

I wondered if perhaps there was an angle that counts as ‘behind’ for those type of bosses

tepid trellis
#

you apply FW with shadowstrike inside of dance anyway

#

so it will be up a good amount of time

summer crest
#

Ahh sorry I’ve got a lot to learn, I had overlooked that. Thank you mate, enjoy your day

Hey guys, I need some help to figure this vault out (one catalyst charge left, 3/4 tier set)
Bot is telling me to take tier set head but I'm wondering if in the long run it's not better to take chest and pray for some tier to drop in raid tonight

wild hornet
#

Mostly cause I got a 9 parse on assa

fiery rampart
#

Haha

#

Bro I felt that too at first

#

when do you ideally want to swap ur belt for a normal one? sims says 704 is already better

vale pine
#

it depends, 710+ was what i had in simulations when i checked

#

but if it sims better, replace it

orchid sand
#

yeah just droptimizer, 704 hc this one sims best

vale pine
#

👍

stiff stirrup
#

any advice? D: been lost for a while, and I only do m+
as of now got 2 catalyst charges so wondering whats harder to farm in the future

steel zinc

#

I dont see getting prism or forge anytime soon since I barely raid

steel zinc
#

and normal is easier then lfr

astral axle
#

Kinda noob questions here, sorry in advanced. Presuming you know uptime isn't going to be disrupted, what is a good rule of thumb for holding dances before your next flag window? (e.g., you want to be on 1charge and 50 seconds about 10 seconds before flag)

Also, what's the ideal way to use CB in between flag windows? Is this even worth worrying about? I ask cause I notice either my sectech comes off cooldown with like 20ish seconds on CB. Do I hold the smaller window for that CB? I notice sometimes if I'm lucky I can send that SecTech and get the CB with the next available SecTech and still have enough dances for the upcoming flag window. But other times I'm not so lucky and... yeah haha :) makes things awkward

steep siren
#

I dont understand when do I use aoe spenders/generaters vs when I dont?

stiff stirrup
#

normal prism over myth lily?

steel zinc
plush crescent
#

is our best 2nd craft wrists embelishment?

steel zinc
#

sim will say otherwise but that doesnt account for big pulls where you have stacked prism and dmg amps

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.

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

astral axle
#

sorry to be dense, not seeing how these answer my questions

steep siren
#

I dont understand why dont you waant to proc unseen blade before using coupe?

steep siren
#

what stacks

astral axle
#

it advances to your next coup

steel zinc
#

from escalating blades

astral axle
#

but if you already have coup procced

#

you will munch the proc from the unseen blade

assa is also one of the easiest melee specs

fiery rampart

Sub is easy too

steel zinc

sure sure

fiery rampart

Been playing it since shadowlands

#

Ok u got me

#

My bad

#

Keep asking for help don’t worry bro you’ll get it eventually

steel zinc
#

If you think hekili makes you a good player

#

I can tell you it wont

#

but if you just here to do 10s you can do that probably with any spec by just reading a guide

fiery rampart

This you rn

And being toxic while he is at it

No ego just saying hekili is good

what do you usually gem? if not a big dif

It’s a pretty fast tier already

pretty normal pace

Okay - doesn’t felt like it
But time is flying last couple of weeks anyway

plucky parrot

will be a fast tier if dimensius falls over as quick as gally did

I guess it depends on how long they take for dimensius

plucky parrot

but surely not

hollow spear
#

What is the benchmark for a normal last boss?

#

2-3 days?

plucky parrot

it's varied a few tiers

but I think the average race length is around 11ish days

assuming appropriate tuning

yeah sub is crazy

Any idea for best trinket combo for m+?

if

its the same length

#

iirc

entirely depends on dimensius tuning

the bis neck is crafted

it'll be +3 ivls over crafted neck anyways right

a crafted piece is a bis contenter

even if bis are not set in stone

i can get a bis or close to bis neck with a finger snap

hey they you do you and then dont ask

nah im just explaining

why i think the neck is not a must pick

i have a sub lore question

#

was goremaws ever a really exciting button to press

#

i see

chrome palm
#

Death from above was the big button back then though

maiden oar
#

i wouldve liked to play in legion

#

i think id have had alot of fun

vestal escarp
#

i remember goremaw being a downtime filler in legion

chrome palm
#

Yeah I don’t think you really played around goremaws like crazy

vestal escarp
#

just pressed on cd, even not holding before vanish cds

steel zinc
chrome palm
#

Not in the way you did with dfa

steel zinc
#

dfa best spell

maiden oar
#

oh ok

chrome palm
#

Dfa was buffed by shuriken combo so you would storm, dfa, and then dance when you landed because there was a delay before it hit

#

I don’t remember the exact sequence

maiden oar
#

whats shuriken combo

#

is this also something really cool im missing out on

chrome palm
#

Yeah

maiden oar
#

grr

chrome palm
#

Evis does 5% more damage per target hit with shuriken storm

#

Up to 5 targets

maiden oar
#

oh neat

chrome palm
#

Yeah it made sub the best funnel in the game bar none

maiden oar
#

robbed by sin rogue

chrome palm
#

There was one fight in the first raid of bfa where you would bring any alt rat sub rogue in in favor of anyone else because combo was so strong

#

So blizzard responded by removing combo and basically sub has had weird aoe since then

sullen hare
#

There was a while where it was just black powder spam too

maiden oar
#

that is so sad

chrome palm
#

Powder was only introduced in shadowlands

rocky ocean
#

Buff black powder.

maiden oar
#

or did you spend cp on eviscerate in dungeons

tribal blade
chrome palm
#

You would send eviscerate buffed by combo

maiden oar
#

i thnk id have liked that also

chrome palm
#

You were the prio guy

maiden oar
#

its cool to be the prio guy

chrome palm
#

I stopped playing at the start of bfa but my understanding is sub was basically unplayable in m+

#

Because there was no combo and no powder until shadowlands

#

Sub got its funnel back in shadowlands though when flagellation used to actually do significant damage

maiden oar
#

oh that sucks

#

i hope sub in midnigyht is the best iteration of sub there ever was

#

although i like this version of sub so id be fine if its like this too

#
  • 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.

#

Started playing S3 yesterday, timed one +10 before the sleep and got dagger in the vault today

maiden oar
#

im sure there is some way to consistently do more damage that im unaware of

tribal blade
maiden oar
#

there is no way

tribal blade
#

but i haven't looked into it deeply

#

might be a stats thing

#

i ran FB today with a gearset having much less haste and it felt like absolute dogshit

maiden oar
#

sometimes i am going insane and sometimes its not that impressive and i dont feel like its any different as im pressing the buttons

#

oh ok i dont have very much haste

tribal blade
#

i think FB likes haste less than DS sin

#

but still sin likes haste in general in ST

maiden oar
#

but i see some people do alot on fb sin always so they probably know something i dont

#

and it isnt variance

maiden oar
#

but i dont know what they know

tribal blade
#

i'm not 100% sure, i'm prob making mistakes too because i just started playing FB sin this season

maiden oar
#

i feel that way about bleed build too i can do alot but i cannot do consistent 10m overall like some people

tribal blade
#

but the interesting thing is when i was looking at logs

maiden oar
#

there has to be some sort of secret

tribal blade
#

there would be the "normal" high end FB dps, and then REALLY off the charts high end variance

maiden oar
#

i see

tribal blade
#

i'm sure we'll learn more the more we play it 😉

maiden oar
#

ok what if i want to play it as little as possible and play sub more

crystal oasis
#

FB variance is pretty normal for most specs. I think trinkets make a huge difference early tier and lining up netherprism can make a big difference on some fights

tribal blade
#

mm he did say here you want to use netherprism every 3 mins with vanish instead of every 1.5 if i'm not mistaken

crystal oasis
#

Yeah correct

maiden oar
#

i am thanlful

ok damn i have to change up my DM macro

yeah im doing that

#

im also shifting vanish into execute if kt allows

#

and trying to manipulate prism similarly

#

but im sure im like maybe losing some value from envenoms or something more basic

#

i did notice at first i was trying to whack kingsbane instantly off cd and it wouldnt press cold blood at the same time bc cb didnt come back up yet

#

but i fixed that

analog hearth
#

is there a reason the sim doesnt vanish to get pre med shuriken storm for the double coup outside of blades

#

wouldnt this conserve unseen blade uses

  • 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.

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.

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.

prism is very strong

unyielding netherprism from fractilus

#

trinket that essentially allows you to store agi and spend it and its very modal

vale pine

^ best trinket for us

dusk stone
#

you can send it with 1:30's or hold for longer and its like 60k agi at that point

vale pine
#

you send it every 90 sec

#

first cooldowns don't rly need to because you don't have many stacks

dusk stone
#

i heard people holding for 18 stacks

blissful yacht
#

so far i was too unlucky for any decent trink, hopefully this raid will drop me something

tepid trellis
#

in keys you can do that depending on pulls

dusk stone

the neat thing with prism is in long opener pulls you can get 2-3 stacks

so its as good as lily kinda almost

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.

vale pine
#

you can macro dance and symbols, but typically don't want to

glacial stirrup
#

understood

vale pine
#

because your 2nd symbols cast in dance might be delayed

dusk stone
#

you can bind symbols and dance together, but you will also needs 2 more keybinds for them seperate

vale pine
#

* in the 2nd dance during shadow blades

dusk stone
#

i use mouse macro for symbols and dance but have 1 and 2 bound for pressing them alone for different reasons

vale pine
#

👍

glacial stirrup
#

but macriong dance and back stab is okay ?

dusk stone
#

doesnt sound ok

#

you use backstack outside of dance a lot

#

are you saving 2 dances and 2 symbols for flag?

yeah thats on a key bind but for the macabre stack

apparently echo dropped their sub rogue

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.

vale pine
#

^ you can use a macro like this, it is probably the best trade off

#

you usually dance on low combo points

#

but can also dance with high points

#

so macroing backstab and dance without a conditional like the above

#

means you can't dance-finish

#

but are limited to dance-backstab

#

the above does:

  • first key press ---- dance
  • second key press ---- backstab
glacial stirrup

this is awesome! thank you so much !

How are you guys finding Sub vs Sin for the raid?

#

for thsoe who have played both

dusk stone
#

subs better for 5 and 7 and some here were saying 8 sin is better for the others. sub is generally middle of the pack tho

vale pine
#

you could do a modifier

#

like shift + <your blades key> for trinket + blades

dusk stone
#

thanks, thats a great idea

#

i wish rtwf was not as bad for viewing as it is

#

i mean no disrespect to anyone involved but its really awful for a really cool thing

just the format of having to do splits for 4 days kinda ruins something you've spent time anticipating. its like a sport, but if the sport before the superbowl had you filming them in the gym or something for a week

is there any reason you'd coup at 6 and 7 and not 12?
