Hi guys, quick question, i see in AoE after a coup proc, we shuriken storm then second coup, why don't we SS ?

they sent it on 2min classes

Tfd bad there

#

Im using macro for Dance with Symbols? Should i seperate those? And why?

warm marlin
#

I will test 2:50 adds with prism and 4:20 dmg amp next split clear

#

I think it has potential

tepid trellis
#

but if you are on point with cd usage

#

you still get 3x dance on the amp

#

on mythic atleast

#

so u dont even actually need the pala cdr

#

it just makes it more chill

warm marlin
#

The timers looked similar but I’m getting gapped on dragon dmg when I really shouldn’t be

#

Pretty sure I got triple dance

  • 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.
turbid apex
#

so double binding ST with and without CB is ok right?

#

i dont see any downside

swift tinsel
#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

its the same number of binds as having them separate

is there a world where i want to CB anything else than ST?

Yeah, I usually do. If it's off a wipe then I do it as soon as I get off the floor

Did this spec get buffed this week or just better players and tier sets?

If it's a fresh pull, sectech on trash then shuriken storm the whole rest of the time, hit sod sometime after you secteched.

30% wtf

void needle
# mighty citrus you have a wa for it?

But realistically it's minmaxxy cheese that contributes about 1% on 5 minute fight. Combined from the 2 supercharge, and the disorienting strikes. It does make it far more likely to get a coup in the first blades window

Ye we feasting with 4pc

#

It’s quite nice

void needle

It isn't a 30% increase over last season 4 set to be clear

4pc is nice but prism is the big dog

#

i saw 30mil on like a 9 stack earlier in priory

umbral socket
#

Oh, thats just the raw number

#

I assumed that was 4p to 4p

dusk stone
#

this is champ trinket too

#

i actually beat our sin rogue that run

void needle
#

4p to 4p is only about 13%

dusk stone
#

no?

#

ill find spreadsheet

void needle
#

I linked it

#

Here is a link to the sim itself too

#

@vale pine

dusk stone
#

it should be like 11.5 to 28.5

but i am fairly sure it was like 10.5 or something

void needle
# dusk stone because 4p to 4p it was like 17% flat aura buff

The sim I linked genuinely doesn't take stats into account, pure apples to apples assuming same stats from gear. The bonus from the actual 4p set is about 13%, you will definitely reap higher gains when including the ilvl jump with better gear.

mighty citrus
#

strange bug: iam hitting a dummy but my backstab shows iam not in range (the red number).

dusk stone
#

fuu's spreadsheet was accounting for new ilvl?

mighty citrus
dusk stone
#

that doesnt seem right, we are way too strong with it

chrome fern
#

so i need some clarity,

In ideal situations you just have sec tec ready for blades window.

(i dont know the timing) but say you are 30s away from that window, and you have 1 charge of dance with the other on a 40s cd. and sec tec is ready to use.

is this the situation where you send a symbols buffed sectec with no dance. or is there times where you would hold sectec. further to this, i would assume we hold flag / blades till we have the 2 dance + sectec ready

void needle
#

It's actually old ilvl, it sims the new 4p effect while still wearing 684 spectral gamblers items

warm marlin
dusk stone
#

as long as you have sectec <9 seconds and an extra or will overcap on symbols, send it

#

worst you have to do is hold cd's a little bit

chrome fern
#

kk, so hold cd's over sectec, and make sure there are 2 dances for cd's

dusk stone
#

depends the actual rule is like 1.7 to 2 dances per raid fight encounter and 1.5 or so for keys

#

35s on flag for raid and like 22s~ for keys

chrome fern
#

yeah yeah, i dont mean 2 banked, but having the second one ready 12s after first

dusk stone
#

thats the typical rule

#

sometimes its better to have full 2 charges

#

if you are gonna 18 stack trinket use 3 dances

#

whats with the enchants this patch i havent changed mine

#

seems were going for stats?

chrome fern
void needle
#

I've seen double vers enchants pop up in sim a lot, but I think it's bugged. Surely another 8% uptime on the vers proc is not better than another 20% you could be getting on a crit or mast enchant

dusk stone
#

cool, i will not be swapping between raid and m+ enchants this patch then

#

wdym

#

stoundbound is just copy of the vers one 1:1 no?

chrome fern
dusk stone
#

3910 for 12 seconds on both

void needle
#

Stonebound is the vers one?

dusk stone
#

stonebound is mastery

void needle
#

mb it's oathsworns

#

People run oathsworns on both because of the st sims

dusk stone
#

not sure why were using mastery enchant for ST last i looked at stat weights mastery was really diminished

lilac stag
#

!wa

warm marlin
#

Having 2 enchants just doubles the amount of stat the proc gives

void needle
#

No

#

Each individual spell id has an icd.

#

Using a second enchant will not double uptime on the buff, only increase it by about 8%

cinder isle
#

Why does my BP do piss damage?

void needle
#

Use finality in aoe

#

It's bugged and makes bp do a fair amount more damage than listed in the talent. It amps every mirrored 30% for find weakness

cinder isle
#

so shuriken into BP in aoe after pressing sec tec?

dusk stone
#

were putting two rings of Enchant Ring - Radiant Versatility on?

left ledge
#

Then strike into bp

void needle
dusk stone

the finality build isnt like a massive dps increase

should I spam keys as sub or just hit dummies to get the grip

#

And thats like 85%+ of playing sub

as a newer sub player its harder for me to conceptualize moving cd's around in raid

!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.

!prepull

wicked joltBOT
#

Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.

  • Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
    NOT Recommended - Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully.
  • Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
    Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.

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".

@hazy breach if we always BP at 4 what do you make of the highest parse on FG being so weighted on nimble flurry?

If you look at his damage break down it’s very heavily weighed towards nimble flurry

#

Vs BP as one would expect if we are always BPing at 4

#

I see other worse parses more heavily weighted with BP

warm marlin
#

Big momma and duo boss are probably going to weight it more than normal

serene notch
#

Yea but whole dungeon?

lilac stag
#

also it’s week 2 not everyone going to play it how discord says is correct

warm marlin
#

Or he’s just an eviscerate enjoyer garf_sit

lilac stag
#

no one played this spec for an entire season in keys

serene notch
#

For sure but that outlier is the top parse is evis-ing which at the very least is anecdotally interesting

hazy breach
#

Well he is eviscerating priority mobs

#

And also nimble does more than BP anyway because coup, strikes and unseen blades

serene notch
#

And also happens to do the most damage? Not arguing, I just think it’s interesting.

hazy breach
#

On the overall

serene notch
#

Really? That’s not what I see when looking at other too parses

I see heavy weighted on BP

at no point in the burst phase did details showed anything higher than 4,5m or so

I mean without looking at logs is impossible to say. Maybe your gear isn't as good, didn't have a full prism stack, etc., lots of reasons

haughty rose

yeah nah my gear is not too great

but they doubling me seems so off

If u want to figure out what ur doing wrong u need to compare logs urself or post it asking for feedback

this was my forgeweaver this week, but I have 4 ilvls since then and a better prism, antenna, etc

no i'm not really asking for advice. just how tf they put those insane numbers lmao

#

By abusing the damage amp and adds

if you look at just the damage amp, we're one of the best classes, and then add damage I'm top by far. its all just playing the spec to its strengths in the fight

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.

so i can make macro wich use forge first when ready

cos it will be ready only when suppose to

or im trippin

Yesnt, if you end up holding your cds for a bit you could end up using forge instead of a 18 stacked prism

With a macro like that

  • 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.

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.

What should I be doing in downtime between SB and flag? I’ve kinda just been spamming backstab and evis, but I feel like I’m losing lots of dps in downtime. I’m usually pulling 2mil dps in m+ at 693 with 2 set

using shadow dance lol

shadow dance and symbols

#

using like 2 shadow dances until next cd's

you can squeeze in 3 with 4 piece

So I keep shadows dance up and hold symbols?

#

Most the guides I’ve read say to hold 2 of each for burst windows, and I haven’t quite figured out timing

one shadow dance = one symbols use

#

you want like 1 1/3 shadow dance when cd's come up

Gotcha, I’ve been holding 2 haha

2nd dance should have 30 seconds or less on its cd

wicked joltBOT
#

Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.

  • Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
    NOT Recommended - Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully.
  • Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
    Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.

!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.

  • 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.

And most of the time youll have an unseen blade ready from either sectech or just a rng proc that you wouldnt want to waste

#

So you storm instead

wheat elk
#

if you do a coup and you immidiately got your combos back, should you do the second coup or use a finisher

hazy breach
#

What

#

Coup

wheat elk
#

i mean

bright elk
#

lol

wheat elk
#

not finisher

#

builder

hazy breach
#

Why would you use a builder if you are at max combo points

wheat elk
#

cuz ive seen you say use storm between the coups

hazy breach
#

As your builder yes

#

But you dont need to build cp

#

If you are already at max

#

Thats the ideal scenario

wheat elk
#

thats only instead of ss?

hazy breach
#

Then you dont have to do a shitty storm

dusk stone
#

It's all in the guide guys

hazy breach
#

And you can just keep striking

wheat elk
#

aight

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.

1more question is there somewhere like the overall good/decent talent build for M+ because I see on wowhead theres a build with either tea and cold blood or should I just run tea as a starter

dusk stone
#

Yes in the guide under talent builds

#

I suggest the one with the rotten in it though

void needle
#

Rotten smotten

#

double finality ftw

#

From my experience, shuriken storm actually applies fw pretty consistently without it

#

Inevitability is the bigger loss imo

dusk stone
#

I thought so at first too

@teal prawn shot 5 over on the practice round. Got some coaching from one of the guys. We might be competitive 🙂‍↕️

Idk how I even ended up in here I haven’t been in this channel in like a year OMEGAKEKW

steel horizon
#

we still send sectec 1st in dance even if we enter dance with coup ready?

#

(outside of blades)

dusk stone
#

You guys think liquid is gonna take it with them being sick and how efficient echo has been with the pull count?

dire saddle
#

DO we get a 2nd craft this week?>

void needle
#

Every dance outside blades, with no coup it's still fine to evis first for an extra danse stack?

void needle
#

So 2 crafts or a single 2h total

dire saddle
#

Tf

#

How have I not gotten ym other half spark then

#

Did like 10 raid bosses and 2 dungeons

void needle
#

Complete weekly quest

dire saddle
#

I see

void needle
#

The ones outside the inn in dornogal. They should list the spark half as a reward

dire saddle
#

Thanks a bunch

void needle

Personally I think if you are switching to fb sin rogue for raid fights, you should just run tea. I've seen a lot of mythic parses where they spec cb and can't use it because of the bug, in which case tea is actually better

dusk stone
#

Thanks for the idea

supple verge
#

nice i got a heroic prism

void needle
#

gratz

supple verge
#

karma for needing to buy my hoc

hazy breach
#

Gzzz

void needle
#

I got offers over 500k for normal antenna

supple verge
#

crazy lol

#

are people still just amcroing this to shadowblades

#

like any other onuse

void needle
#

You can, but it's a spymaster style trinket with stacking att buff. It's nice to be able to choose when to use it

supple verge
#

ya ig id want to maybe do a small flag/big flag sometimes

#

for amps and such

void needle
#

90 seconds gets you about 9 stacks, 2nd cd set gets you full stacks

#

It lines up really well if you want to hold burst for amp

#

But it also works just fine every 90, which you can do if it's a patchwerk style fight

supple verge
#

makes sense thanks!

hazy breach
#

Big stacks = Big fun on big pulls in keys

supple verge
#

yea really looking forward to that

hazy breach
#

Cant be hitting 60M on details with 9 stacks

distant sage
#

i think even delves drop them

void needle
torn storm
#

like afk on collector?

void needle
#

Pull up to first boss on eco dome or something

#

That would be a disgusting pull, the rest of the group is on cc duty XD

dusk stone
#

We out here showing shamans what a real ascension looks like with 18 stacks

void needle
#

Ascension? Is that even strong :p

#

Can't tell from the meters

#

Double on use makes every blades look like ascendance

#

Absolutely disgusting burst

#

I can't wait

#

For them to nerf sub because the trinkets are strong

stoic pier
#

!up

ripe flame
#

quick q, are you guys mayhaps using crippling poison on forgeweaver on mythic?

hazy breach
#

You can if you want to

#

But its not super reliable

void needle
#

It's not a bad choice I suppose

ripe flame
#

I see, I'd be forced to ss or bp to apply it right? flurry does not?

void needle
#

Night terrors is a little more consistent

hazy breach
#

Nimble flurry does not apply poisons no

#

Blade flurry does though

void needle
#

Flurry doesn't do fuck all lmao

ripe flame
#

thanks for the info, back to the mines

void needle
#

I also don't see a raid comp with enough rogues where atrophic wouldn't be good though

hazy breach
#

Atrophic doesnt do much on araz

#

So thats why crippling is fine

void needle
#

Environmental bs

#

Give me back parry raid buff

distant sage
#

how do you guys use rapture if its not while tank is gathering packs

hazy breach
#

While not in dance on targets that arent gonna die immediately

dusk stone
#

If outside cds is rupture on all targets that have relevant hp? If no then put rupture on, and continue stabbing

hazy breach
#

You can think of it this way, you do no damage while outside dance right

#

If you apply rupture, those are gonna continue to tick later on when you do dance

#

So its effectively applying in-dance finishers while outside dance

distant sage
#

ill keep it in mind

#

didnt really feel the exaustion from using my cds with this 4 set

#

i use shuriken storm to farm up my dances

#

but im not doing abnormally high keys

toxic topaz
#

how do we use double on use netherprism/forge

hazy breach
#

Rotate them every other

toxic topaz
#

Tyvm, so forge on pull, prism next blades, and so on

hazy breach
#

Yes

toxic topaz
#

tyvm 🙂

swift tinsel
#

yay four new talent points to put into shit

shut jay
#

dark brew is back baby

swift tinsel
#

that means they have to look at our tree bc they're adding stuff

shut jay
#

maybe the one ability they modify is sectech, its capped to 8 finally

swift tinsel
#

lmao them giving us bugfixes as talent nodes would be peak blizzard

distant sage
#

they are adding talents to sub?

swift tinsel
#

every spec tree and hero tree

distant sage
#

ohhh nice

swift tinsel
#

now we can be spoiled and run both cb and tea

distant sage
#

cant wait for 0 variation

swift tinsel
#

nah we're gonna get an 8 Michelin Star cook

#

its gonna be so good

shut jay
#

gloomblade still a dead node garf_sit

swift tinsel
#

it applies FW from the front

#

so hardly dead compared to stuff like PV or SF

distant sage
#

dont hate its ok in delves

#

how much mastery is too much mastery

swift tinsel
#

when the robot tells you to switch gems/enchants/recraft

#

was around 22-24k for me

#

results may vary

#

i was thinking of simming vers fiber cape and pot rn i have 21k

dusk stone
#

Gloom ignores armor too iirc

#

i love this fight

raven patrol
#

When do we Shuriken Storm and Black Powder vs. Backstab and Eviscerate (with Nimble Flurry) in M+? Is there a certain target count we're looking for?

fickle jolt
#

7+ for ss+bp no?

dusk stone
#

No

#

We got tuning this patch, we bp at 3 with fw and 4 without

raven patrol
#

Because if we SS and BP then it doesn't build Unseen Blade right?

dusk stone
#

Strike builds unseen yes

raven patrol
#

So in 3+ with FW we kinda just ignore Unseen Blade and Coupe de Grace?

dusk stone
#

Wdym ignore it

hazy breach
#

BP at 4 targets

#

Strike in dance

raven patrol
#

Since in let's say big pulls, we SS and BP

#

Ahhh okay

#

Strike in Dance regardless of target count?

hazy breach
#

Yes

raven patrol
#

Okay that makes more sense now, thanks!

hazy breach
#

And coup over BP

short radish
#

If we have coup up and also dance+sectech what do we do?

#

Sectech first still

hazy breach
#

Yes

ember hound
#

Eleem

#

There’s no gain for coup sec tech coup ?

short radish
#

Then do we storm to not waste procs or is that only a thing to do in sblade
