would this macro work to backstab first in dance?

#

#Showtooltip Shadow Dance
/cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null
/cast Thistle Tea
/cqs

chrome fern
#
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null 
/cqs```
clever holly
vale pine
#

no

chrome fern
#

makes it so you can't sod within 2 seconds of pressing that macro

vale pine
#

this just prevents you from using it 2 times

clever holly
#

Ahh tyvm

chrome fern
#

(and 2 seconds from pressing that macro within the 2 seconds)

#

don't ask me how i know...

acoustic matrix
#

You mean sending backstab on high cp right ? Or is energy a thing to consider too ?

vale pine
#

no

#

i posted the one picture

#

you did storm - backstab

#

flagellation

#

dance

#

backstab

#

if we break this down

#

you would in general get 3-5 cp from storm

#

then probably 2 from backstab due to sht

#

so you end up on ~5-6 cp before flagellation

#

so you used flag

#

and then dance-backstab

#

with only 1-2 cp of room left, this wastes all the combo points you already have on hand

#

in this case, it would be better to either

#

flagellation-dance-secret

#

or flagellation-rupture/evis-dance-backstab

acoustic matrix
#

Aight, you guys help a ton, thanks!

round latch
vale pine
#

^^

acoustic matrix
#

Yeah I gained like 1M on several 2minutes, incredible advice

clever holly
#

It's not natural

On other discords u ask stuff and they go like "get good" or "Sim Ur dumb question" 😂

round latch
#

Well thats why i specifically said its fuu so its natural

#

and we arent other discords

Ravenholdt>>>>everything else

tribal blade

someone was in here the other day saying ravenholdt is terrible

round latch
#

yeah was a DH main

#

was pretty rich

tribal blade
#

because he couldn't figure out what the icons were on the wowhead guide

round latch
#

what a legend

stiff remnant
#

guys does trinket tuning hotfix changes anything? is antenna still the hot?

tribal blade
#

never seen someone have an issue like that using a guide

cloud rover
#

no cap

tribal blade
#

iirc it's liek -180 crit or something really small

#

3% reduction in crit for the trink is nothing

tribal blade
acoustic matrix
#

This is the friendliest class discord i've seen so far

vale pine
#

so ye

tribal blade
wheat edge
#

what is the correct play when cooldowns are in this situation, do I send a symbols charge at some point but just leave the dance charge?

clever holly
#

Dumb question (that can't be sim'd)

Do I collect the antenna stuff or do I get it naturally

clever holly
#

Got that comin

tribal blade
#

like kiting the orbs till you go into dances

cloud rover
tribal blade
#

eleem was saying he could get a bunch of stacks during dances with kiting

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 Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

i need to tighten up my sub rotation, i'm still making so many mistakes

vale pine
tribal blade
#

and still #1 NA sub rogue

#

i could do more

clever holly
#

I hate those trinkets

What was the m+ one with the 3 orbs AngToxic

vale pine
#

dimensius is not good for antenna

runic trail
vale pine
#

also antenna will get nerfed with reset

tribal blade
#

yeah some of the bosses you can't kite

shadow snow
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

interesting they nerfed it by such a small amount

runic trail
#

I really need to play around with the 4 set more to get a better feel for it. I'm just not confident enough on sub to use it for prog uglyassdog

cloud rover
#

Best thign for sub is double on use right? Like Lily and Prism?

tribal blade
#

forge + prism for double on use

#

because forge gives monster stats

#

use it on 1st cd set, then prism on 2nd

#

then rotate

cloud rover
#

which isnt a nice thing to do

upbeat sorrel
#

does sub still use ionclaw Whetstone for weapons

#

ass is using oils now

cloud rover
#

So i stay 1 on use as of now

cursive vapor
cloud rover
#

Weirdly enough, my sim tells me to go with Wax + Mana oil on Sub and Assa

tribal blade
lone linden
#

any hit of coup de grace can refund CP via shadowcraft right?
its hits 3 times every 0.4 seconds after you press it? is that correct

tribal blade
#

but i would warrant a guess lily becomes pretty bad using it as a 3 min trink

tall hatch
#

Can some1 recommend me a Sub guide/video? wanna catch up a bit

cloud rover
tribal blade
#

forge is worth doing that kind of stuff with because of how highly it's tuned, i know WWs hold cds for a long time just to line it up with forge

cloud rover
#

I mean Prism has more Main stat

#

(if fully stacked)

shadow lance
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
clever holly
#

I don't know my chances to get forge for m+ use after I already got prism

Let's just hope loot officer is low on gold kekdog

tall hatch
#

Thanks

tribal blade
shadow lance
#

MM hunters and sub rogue

tribal blade
#

fdk maybe too?

shadow lance
#

The only one needing in my raid

tribal blade
#

but yeah i had no competition for it

shadow lance
#

No fdk wanting it

#

In my roster

clever holly
#

Forge tho

tribal blade
#

yeah forge will be harder to get

#

it's bis for more people

vale pine
clever holly
#

That's the one I need

vale pine
tribal blade
#

they might want it for dmg amps

#

some other class discords might cook up some dmg amp stuff for raid

clever holly
#

When will prism get bad like spymaster did?

Boss fights under x minutes?

vale pine
#

probably yes

#

because you just use forge

#

and eba

#

*cba

cloud rover
#

Prolly fights under 3 Minutes?

vale pine
#

figths under 1 min 30

clever holly
#

Forge still on blade?

vale pine
#

or well 1 min 50

#

because you want to actually utialize your cooldowns

#

yes

#

you need some time to build prism stacks

#

so you would forge first

#

then prism 2nd set of cooldowns

#

which is 1 min 30 in the fight

serene blaze
#

Mag'har orc or dwarf for M+? how much dps inc is mag"har racial into blades?

clever holly
#

In Raid also 2 on use or just in that short fights?

tall hatch
vale pine
#

tiramil did forget that the first set of cooldowns is at the start of the fight, and hence mentioned 3 mins

vale pine
shadow lance
vale pine
#

double on use is in general not that strong, so if we talk about it

#

we mean prism + forge

vale pine
#

and for this combo, its about on par with prism + antenna

tall hatch
vale pine
#

well after antenna nerfs

#

probably slightly ahead

#

neverless

#

prism + forge have the advantage of control over your burst and especially at the start of fight a higher damage

#

while prism + passive have the advantage of having on average higher damage during your burst

#

both have applications

shadow lance
clever holly
#

Yay let me just pull another key bind out of my

runic trail
vale pine
#

for m+, the fine control of forge + prism is important

#

for raid

vale pine
#

you would use it on dimensius mainly because antenna gets worse value

#

due to the fight design

tribal blade
#

playing with prism is honestly making me try to treat every key like it's hardmode tezavesh

#

because dying with prism stacks is big depression

serene blaze
#

u stacking vers 😄 just dont die ez

cloud rover
clever holly
#

16 Stacks death = abandon vote started

tribal blade
#

yeah i have 20k vers fully buffed atm

clever holly
#

Wich flask do you guys use

proven plover
#

alchemical

cursive vapor
serene blaze
#

vers

topaz egret
#

I'd recommend double on use on most movement fights, u lose quite a few of your antennas, think on dimensius/NK it was about 25-30% orb miss

tribal blade
#

i really don't like trinket mechanics that make you pick up orbs, so i would rather play forge+prism yeah

dreamy badger
#

Is lily good enough?

clever holly
tribal blade
dreamy badger
#

Thought so

tribal blade
#

forge works so well as double on use with sub because of how much main stat it gives

cloud rover
#

Its btw really funny

#

that a 704 Lila

#

gives as much Mastery on Use, as a hosue of cards

#

on 684

tribal blade
#

does it actually? that's crazy

cloud rover
#

Lily 704 give liek 8,6K mastery

tribal blade
#

that's not much yeah

cloud rover
#

and thats basically how much HoC gave

vale pine
tribal blade
proven plover
#

704 lily is close to 9k and upgraded mm hoc is 9.4k fully stacked

clever holly
vale pine
#

i am very good at that

tribal blade
#

i had a good day of not dying today, i don't think i died a single time in any push key i did today

cloud rover
#

Its so weird, that they sometimes under budgeting trinkets so hard

tribal blade
#

except when there were full wipes

frigid prawn
#

@tribal blade use that for hard mode

proven plover
tribal blade
#

we lost hardmode today because one of my guildies made a call that got our warr killed

#

on the portal boss

cloud rover
#

Maybe unpopular Opinion

tribal blade
#

boss was almost dead and full panic happened

cloud rover
#

But Hardmode Taszavesh giving a myth track item

#

Is very tocix

#

and shouldnt come back

tribal blade
#

yeah it's not a good idea

#

tbh

cloud rover
#

Especially if its only once per week chance

#

if you could repeat it, wouldnt be as bad

proven plover
#

true it is very toxic

#

our guild is chill about it but I've heard some stories of people getting hard blamed for dying

vale pine
vale pine
#

haha

#

it was a whipe

#

so not too bad

keen dome
#

Damn, haha

tribal blade
#

oh nice nice

keen dome
#

Gravity. Our greatest foe

tribal blade
#

that moment when you die and you start praying it's a wipe

vale pine
#

this raid def.

cloud rover
#

Reminds me of a clip i mad for my guild fuu

vale pine
#

haha

#

the classic

keen dome
#

hahaha

vale pine
#

"wait where do i go"

#

probably followed by your rl saying

#

"bro, you did this on normal/heroic already"

proven plover
#

that boss is such a joke though

vale pine
#

it is

clever holly
#

I'm already happy the first boss is no gimmick

vale pine
#

but its funny

clever holly
#

But a very tiny wall

proven plover
#

first boss is really nice

vale pine
#

if you die to some unforchunate things

proven plover
#

reminds me a bit of the first boss of aberrus

#

difficulty wise

vale pine
#

i wonder how difficulty will be

#

in the next xpac

#

6-1-2

#

sounds weird with staggered releases

#

(raid boss releases)

proven plover
#

wait what, I havent watched the panels

keen dome
vale pine
keen dome
#

Have they confirmed it's staggered though?

vale pine
#

they spend like 1 min talking about raids

proven plover
#

wdym staggered

vale pine
#

in the 25? minutes pannel

bleak night
#

the 2 boss raid is staggered

vale pine
bleak night
#

i dont think the one boss is

keen dome
#

Basically like MoP then, I guess.

bleak night
#

but i could be misremembering

vale pine
#

its basically, 6 boss raid

keen dome
#

So we have 6 -> 1 -> wait -> 2

vale pine
#

then a 1 boss

#

then a 2 boss

bleak night
#

like the one boss is supposed to be about as difficult as a mid tier boss in the 6 boss raid

vale pine
#

so its staggered

proven plover
#

in the same raid or what

bleak night
#

and the 2 bosses are harder than the 6 boss

keen dome
#

Three instances.

vale pine
#

its one raid

#

just uses diffrence raid instances

keen dome
#

It's still the same tier, though. It's like the first tier of MoP

#

Mogu'shan -> Heart of Fear -> Terrace. Still tier 1 of MoP

vale pine
#

its unclear to me weather they just want to re-use old zones for raid fights

proven plover
#

ah so like releasing different wings over the course of a season?

#

or is that longer than a season

vale pine
#

or if we will have 3 compeltely new/unique zones

keen dome
#

We won't know until closer to launch / they confirm for certain.

proven plover
#

so they just dont have enough time to finish it xdd

keen dome
#

I wouldn't be too shock if it's like

#

The first seven are for heroic week -> final two with Mythic

vale pine
#

hmm

proven plover
#

seems weird but ok lol

summer peak
#

hey guys, I have a macro for Symobls, Dance and Backstab for my opener CDS. it seems that its pressing Symbols twice when i looked at logss.....

Do we know does the secquence that stopes you pressing SOD ina row work in nthat style of macro

bleak night
#

time gated raids pog

keen dome
#

Maybe, who knows.

#

We legitimately do not know

bleak night
#

well we definitely do know about the 2 boss being later

#

and i even think it was by several weeks

keen dome
#

Yeah, but we don't know how much later, do we?

bleak night
#

i'd have to go back and check though

#

so maybe im making shit up

#

i do enjoy spreading a bit of misinformation

keen dome
#

I'll bet you 1 gold it'll be a Heroic -> Mythic week thing if they do a Heroic week

#

Where it's 6 + 1 for Heroic then 6 + 1 + 2 for Mythic

vale pine
#

difficulty curve will be important

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

because if like

#

firts 6 are not hard

keen dome
#

The middle lairboss should hopefully be the bridge between the 6 and the 2.

bleak night
#

they described it as 3-1-3-2

vale pine
#

would feel weird to have 6 fights to just wait for the hard ones

keen dome
#

It's cool to see them trying something else though. I want them to expriment with tiers

bleak night
#

but idk how far apart the 2 will be from the rest

#

crucible of storms time

vale pine
#

and while i see why they split it

keen dome
#

Yeah

bleak night
vale pine
#

some sort of "goose chase"

keen dome
#

man, fucking cruicble

vale pine
#

story

keen dome
#

Ye

vale pine
#

i don't know

#

its too early for me

keen dome
#

Because of the RWF, I can't really picture them going "oh yeah the final part of this tier is out in six weeks bye" even though the race is unofficial.

bleak night
#

more importantly which ones drop housing items

keen dome
#

Which is why I believe it'll be a Heroic week thing

night sparrow
#

Trinkets nerf noooo ???! Oh idc prism and forge no nerf 🥸 🥸

vale pine
#

heroic week also returns

#

so its like

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

are they doing a month of wfr?

#

or no wfr?

keen dome
#

Nah

vale pine
#

or only first 6?

keen dome
#

I think it'll be heroic week having 7 bosses then the final two in Mythic week onwards

#

So once Mythic is out, you've got the full 9 boss tier

#

This also lets people do the story in heroic week and the 'chase' since a week later the final two unlock

#

Absolute speculation on my part but I think it makes sense

vale pine
#

hmm

#

i think it will be weird

#

because you kill 6

#

then need to port to a new raid

#

then kill 1

#

then port to a new raid

#

then kill 2

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Speaking as a puglord, it's gonna be a huge pain in the ass lmao

bleak night
#

ye and some asshole will ask for a summon despite there being a portal probably 5 feet from them

bleak night
#

and we'll sit there waiting for everyone to accept

keen dome
bleak night
#

then someone will hearth back because they forgot to buy potions

#

and forget that people have ah mounts

#

and you've gotta put the portal back up

#

and summon them again

keen dome
#

lmao

#

god, stop, you are hurting my soul

#

Pugging also has a pretty strict mentality around "You should only be doing the next boss from what you've killed"

#

So if like. Boss '7' i.e., the lairboss is easier than boss 6. it'll be weird.

bleak night
#

yeah

#

get halfway through the first raid then try to get everyone to go to another one entirely

keen dome
#

I don't really think it'll be much of a problem, but I can see it being funny.

bleak night
#

then come back to the first one

keen dome
#

Yeah

mental flume
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

I think if that's the case you'd just do the lairboss first.

#

A door boss situation where if the group can kill the lairboss then they're clearing the rest.

bleak night
#

honestly might be the way to go anyway

#

yeah exactly

keen dome
#

It's why Mythic pugging this season is so good

#

If the group can kill PlexusM then they're gonna kill Soulbinder.

vale pine
#

i still think raid restrictions should go

#

so you are not locked

#

if you pug first mythic boss

#

and your healer decides to just leave after

keen dome
#

Oh, absolutely

bleak night
#

yeah pugging mythic is absolutely way too restrictive

keen dome
#

I'm a very vocal and firm supporter of deleting the lockout system

dusk stone
#

that makes no sense to me why they did that

keen dome
#

I do think Scath and others have a pretty valid point of doing it after the HoF fills

bleak night
#

if we want more people to get into mythic raiding it has to be accessible outside of finding a guild with a spot in their 20 man group for you

keen dome
#

Ye

dusk stone
#

like whats the point of it actually?

vale pine
bleak night
#

i can see waiting until after hof yeah

vale pine
#

make hof guild groups only

bleak night
#

so people arent hiring mercenaries and shit

vale pine
#

problem solved

bleak night
#

make them get hopeful to pilot their account like ethical people instead

dusk stone
#

is that not what alts are for?

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's pretty much what Bel said.

#

A pug group is never killing the end boss before hoF is filled

#

Like, it's just not happening.

dusk stone
#

yo how much to have casual get me a 100 on dawnbreaker

vale pine
#

hof can take long to fill tho

#

some times very long

bleak night
#

yeah restricting it entirely until hof is filled is probably too long

keen dome
#

It can. It's not an ideal solution and ideally you'd just have it work like heroic lockout from the get-go. But I understand their perspective and I think it's a fair middleground.

dusk stone
#

cant you just evade the system by using an alt?

#

like the lockout isn't accountwide right

vale pine
#

thats why i propose the limit to guild groups

bleak night
#

wdym evade the system

keen dome
bleak night
#

yeah you can go pug on an alt but that doesnt help the average person

#

they dont have multiple mythic raid level characters

vale pine
#

if like 18/20 people are from your guild

#

you can't rly "buy" it

dusk stone
#

no what i mean is, whatever problem the lockout system is there to solve it doesn't solve because alts exist

vale pine
#

2 echo players won't make you kill dimensius

#

your entire raid needs to play well to kill it

keen dome
#

Ultimately, pugging is good for the game and making Mythic more pug-accessible without reducing difficulty or impacting guilds is good.

dusk stone
#

so what ends up happening is people just get screwed and noone is saved from anything

vale pine
#

^

#

would just reduce fustration

#

you don't lose your lockout if you pug

#

and things go south

#

also one thing can return a guild did i had in Wotlk

#

where you can swap in/out people dynamically for a longer time

dusk stone
#

we didnt have this bs in swtor smaller game mind you

bleak night
#

oh that part is also cursed

vale pine
#

and see what works best, currently you are too limited by restrictions

dusk stone
#

nightmare pugging was a very common thing and the content was not easy

bleak night
#

like you might only be in for one or two bosses that week for prog but get locked for the whole raid

keen dome
#

You are at the whim of the worst player in a Mythic pug past the first boss.

bleak night
#

thats annoying as fuck too

keen dome
#

I have had multiple weeks ruined on 1/xM because someone left or we couldn't clear due to a shitter.

#

It's not worth the effort.

bleak night
#

yeah you wipe once at 5% and some dude immediately leaves

keen dome
#

Yep

#

And you aren't filling.

bleak night
#

or doesnt win the loot they want and just dips

dusk stone
#

yeah you don't dare mythic pug if you don't alt a lot and you are in a mythic prog guild

#

thats just awful

keen dome
#

It's happened to me

bleak night
#

yeah also true

dusk stone
#

i legit play 1 toon

keen dome
#

I tried to do Cauldron a few times but never managed it 'cos the groups would always collapse.

#

Which is why most groups started doing Cauldron -> Vexie

summer peak
#

Guys, are we still using STech before we use shadow blades?

bleak night
#

dude it was so funny when my guild discovered we could just

summer peak
#

Or does it matter

bleak night
#

walk out the back door

#

and skip vexie

#

lmfao

dusk stone
#

you use sectec with shadow blades

keen dome
vale pine
dusk stone
#

is heroic easier this tier?

keen dome
#

Yes

dusk stone
#

i just 1 shot a fractillus pug

vale pine
#

just use it before clones hit

keen dome
#

Fraciltus is a legitimate joke on Heroic. It does nothing.

#

Araz and Nexus-King are the only hard bosses on Heroic. Even Dimensius is whatever.

summer peak
keen dome
#

and Saladbar is only hard due to P3 instant-wipe mechanics.

dusk stone
#

i have yet to kill dimensius on heroic, waiting to clear our roster up a bit before we do, had legit 680 ilvl people still

keen dome
#

I think the balance this season for Heroic is really good but their HP is just a bit too low.

#

And Soul Hunters / Fract are vastly easier than they should be at Heroic level because of it, due to the immense DPS gain we have from tier, etc.

dusk stone
#

fracc doesnt feel like oab heroic i will say that

keen dome
#

But it's a very good tier. Extremely fun to pug through. Nexus-King P3 is the big pug pain point because, for some reason, pugs have latched onto the worst possible way to do that mechanic

#

And if you do it the proper way, it's extremely easy

dusk stone
#

oh saladaar isnt legitimately a bad boss compared to mug'zee

#

i hated that thing with a passion

keen dome
#

Yeah he owns

#

Dimensius isn't easy, btw. He's just really well designed that you learn each phase properly and nothing is a "haha gotcha" mechanic.

#

It's just getting your reps in and he dies.

runic trail
#

Dimensius hc is a fun fight, we did kill him with 7 people alive though

dusk stone
#

well that sounds good

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

runic trail
#

Things went wrong

keen dome
#

I think he took me about 23 pulls in a pug? 25? Let me check

runic trail
#

But I lived so fuck the rest of the team

keen dome
#

19 pulls

dusk stone
#

no prism on fracc 🙁

bleak night
#

bro you mightve killed it in a pug faster than my guild did

keen dome
#
  • 2 in a pug before this one
#

Oh wait, no, this log includes those lmao

#

It's just 17 pulls then

bleak night
#

ye it took us 22 pulls

dusk stone
#

i never actually killed gally in a pug

runic trail
#

We still had people dying on the flying bit, every time HOLY

#

Like, pls

keen dome
#

Gally was extremely fun to pug prog early on 'cos it was a SUPER intense heal check and DPS had to pay attention

#

I think I did him in 8 pulls haha

runic trail
#

Dimensius is a fun spectacle fight

dusk stone
#

yeah thats where we always got stuck, right at the start

keen dome
#

Extremely funny to compare to Ansurek which was easily 150+ pulls

#

And then I didn't even kill her in a pug

runic trail
#

I am not looking forward to guiding the drunk Friday social raid through it though

#

Gonna be chaos but by the time we get there we should outgear it

bleak night
#

im kinda sad i just didnt play s1

#

pugging ansurek wouldve been hilarious

dusk stone
#

hopefully we start mythic in next week or 2

#

i want to pull araz

keen dome
bleak night
#

instead i didnt get aotc until the week before season ended because i joined my new guild and they ran it lmfao

keen dome
#

And then people release.

#

And you want to cry

dusk stone
#

well at least ansurek respected your time

#

#

parsing heroic this tier is for some reason giga easy

#

i got a 90 from that 1 pull and it was nothing special

#

could not get a single parse last tier to save my life

bleak night
#

i missed the amp phase on dimensius entirely and parsed 90

#

you sub gamers need to step it up

dusk stone
#

i dont get it

#

last tier was way worse, it was hard to get like a 60 or 70

#

dont think ive improved that dramatically, but the renown bug may just have ruined that as well

keen dome
dusk stone
#

i think the meta strat is just to 18 stack on burn phase

keen dome
#

I need multiple kills to do good damage

dusk stone
#

i got a 99.7 on plexus

keen dome
#

And also not be raid leading

bleak night
#

yeah raid leading pugs is giga debuff to any type of dps

keen dome
#

I also just fixate on mechanics to the detriment of my DPS

#

Which is very helpful for killing stuff in a pug early on but not for damage

#

Compared to my rekills on normal

dusk stone
#

yo the hell, my plexus sentinel got deleted?

#

i was 4th on the table and its gone

bleak night

unethical pi gaming perhaps

#

We had this Hunter throwing a wobbler about a Shammie DPS on my SaladbarH kill. How he was low iLevel, doing bad damage. Hunter, naturally, was the reason we'd wiped. And the Shaman was there for all 4 pulls, played mechanics properly and boss died

#

People fixate so much on DPS in pugs and have zero awareness of why you wipe lmao

Ego is a problem in all of online gaming nowadays

#

whats the optimal remaining cd from flag/blades to stop using dance/symbols?

dusk stone
#

depends on the environment

#

in keys you have more CDR

tulip gorge
#

after using flag/blades you basically have 2 dance windows to use

cursive vapor
#

~ 20 sec maybe? in m+

tulip gorge
#

then you have to hold

dusk stone
#

for raid i stop at like 30, in keys its as low as 20

cursive vapor
#

ye

#

thought so

dusk stone
#

i dont like 20 though, and i swear raid was more like 40 last tier

pastel tapir
#

im looking at a season2 sub guide, has anything changed going into season 3 about st or multitarget rotation?

dusk stone
#

yes, 4p

#

we get an additional coup that can be used within 5 seconds of the first coup, and inside of shadow blades or 7+ targets you use storm once to not waste escalating blade

#

the wowhead guide should be up to date

Is sub the go-to rogue spec now for higher m+ keys like 14+?

I'd like to just hard swap and recraft my gear

Is there ever a scenario where we send symbols and ST without SD? I've been holding to sync all 3 up, but I feel like my DPS is lacking

Because "when possible" suggests it can be OK to not wait for dance Dentge

Holding sod or sd is never a dps loss unless it's capped

so no matter the amount of mobs i always use 2x coup when it proccs instead of BP with 4 set right?

You also need to mash movement keys in stealth pre pull

Mainly A and D

#

Idk why but I do this on rogue much more than hunter

#

Although when my meds have worn off and I’m playing BM, I’m running around like I’m full on caffeine every pull

It's probably going to depend on your specific gear more than an either / or "yes better"

vale widget
# calm lion Okay, thanks! Maybe I just gotta get used to holding a bit more between CDs, cuz...

If you check logs and how the sim goes, you will see its common to do at least 1 ST between cds, and that 2/3 of times with SD and SoD
Sometimes, only with SoD, sometimes with any cds
The thing is always not overcap SoD/SD charges, not hold too much ST, and if theres 30 secs or less for Flag+SB, then hold it because you will always want to do the double opener sequence on that window

After understand that tonight, things went better

Hello team, can you tell me from which point there are diminishing returns on mastery and versatility? And at what point should we start focusing on critical strike instead? Should we completely switch to crit once the caps are reached

dont overcomplicate it

use the robot to tell you what gear is good

it makes it quite simple

Feed data to robot, look at what gives you the bigger number, equip that.

Sim and don't worry about it.

Life is simpler this way

#

OK no problem. And for mythic + i sim with dungeon slice? its good? Or we do patchwerk with multitarget?

keen dome
#

Dungeon Slice, yeah.

#

It's very good for rogue. Patchwerk multitarget is a terrible sim choice in general because there's no fight like that.

Ok thank you 🙂

ST i dont consider us really good, nor target switching like on loomi 😄

but i mean its fine overall right

you cant be best in everything

clever holly
#

I just showed our raid lead my dmg outside cds now I don't have to do anything

half dragon
#

how much better is double on use for this raid as sub compared to antenna and prism?

tribal blade
#

but i suppose in practice fight dependent can be better or worse

half dragon
#

well the sims arent really relevant since the bosses have amp phases

tribal blade
#

double on use allows you to fully stack prism without having cd sets with no on use trinket

#

if you play passive+prism if you want to fully stack prism for an amp you have to do a cd set with nothing

half dragon
#

well obviously

tribal blade
#

and i guess you have all the answers already

tepid bluff
#

!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.

so on fights with movement you can just run away from it and never pick it up if you arent specifically looking for it

and if you are specifically looking for it you can go to pick it up and die like firedup did a few times

It's their turn to be buggy

yeah it's nice being able to do dmg when it's just a solo boss

U know what would be crazy

That sub overperforms then blizz nerfs them and assa was never bbad gets bug fixed plus another aura buff and becomes even more meta.

then midnight? sub expansion

sadly it then take sa turn for the worst and it's outlaw for last titan

We're getting our tank spec in midnight

when did they change shadowblades from vague purple fart clouds around our hands to sparkly void fart clouds around our hands

The only way we're getting combo back is if one of us ends up at blizzard

i can never see my character in combat so i didnt notice it until recently

What is combo? I’ve seen it mentioned but i do not know

I'd do it if I could do it from the UK.

just made evis do more damage after you used shuriken storm

bleak night
#

was subs funnel back in the zul days

tribal blade
#

% used to be higher iirc

keen dome
#

They changed it because we broke a boss

#

like 10%

#

And then they had to nerf the boss a few days later

plucky parrot
#

shuriken combo with nimble

was also subs demise kekw

nah it would still be better to press coup over evis even if it didn't nimble

the shit we have now are not even the same talents

travestly what theyve done

plucky parrot
#

tbh it'll probably be sec tech blades or dance, but I'd like for them to try and spice things up a bit

#

as much as I enjoy current sub

tribal blade
#

the best one to me is the arc backstab has had since 2004

#

it went from being a nuclear button

Lol every time you log in it dresses you in a random appearance in each slot

keen dome
#

That said I do think it looks pretty inventive and it IS a ranged spec, more or less

#

So they didn't just do purple havoc

bleak night
#

well except for the meta

keen dome
#

It's filling a niche the spec doesn't have. It's as expected

#

the meta is just purple havoc

yeah rdm is my hope for the spec

Since there's nothing in woW quite like it

bleak night
#

doesnt seem to be that based on what they said

#

but god would i love it

frank crescent
#

What is the "(20 seconds)" about with SoD? Surely it doesn't mean to use it 20 second before pull as the buff only lasts 10 seconds?

I feel like that's everyone's sentiment who even know what rdm is haha

keen dome
#

Maybe I get invited again

swift tinsel
#

Yeah which I think is a cool concept for a damage dealer

plucky parrot
#

like I'm ok to cast

proven plover
#

its because u keep the supercharger cps

plucky parrot
#

but I'd like options for instant casts

bleak night
#

i would actually swap instantly if its even remotely similar to red mage gameplay

plucky parrot
#

and if I need to plant to launch a spirit bomb

#

that's fine once in a while

frank crescent
lilac stag
#

they could make a choice node. edge of night or combo

hazy breach
#

You dont need to do it 20s before pull

plucky parrot
#

but if meta isn't as much of a focus for the melee hybrid build

hazy breach
#

you can do it 10 minutes before pull

#

They dont have a duration

plucky parrot
#

I wonder where the damage is mainly going to come from

swift tinsel
#

I’d assume that big finisher spell they said was gonna get the crit modifier

#

Idr what it’s called

bleak night
#

spirit bomb

#

(collapsing star)

swift tinsel
#

Bc they’re forced to iterate on our hero/spec trees I’m curious what/how the apex sub talents will be by launch

bleak night
#

wait isnt spirit bomb literally a vengeance spell

#

this joke doesnt work

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

#

And AR doesn’t even use it

plucky parrot
#

yeah for the caster build it makes sense, because it's supposed to do more damage the longer you stay in meta and the more times you cast it

#

but if meta uptime isn't the focus of the hybrid build

#

I'm guessing it'll be a smaller portion of your damage

swift tinsel
#

They make it sound like void form

plucky parrot
#

ye

#

With souls instead of void bolts
