stone idol and prory myth in vault on rogue alt, those 2 suck pretty much, right?

warm marlin
#

is it a typo if finisher cp is 6+ hmmge

tepid trellis
#

well it "should" be your first finisher

rancid crow
#

I did read it. Someone linked it a few hours ago and I’ve been going through it, I just needed clarification, that’s all I’m saying 😭

tepid trellis
#

so its gonna be at 7

#

so it kinda is xD

short radish
#

forget what you've learnt and read the guide again

#

youve clearly picked up outdated/wrong info

rancid crow
#

Yeah I’m figuring that out

short radish
#

the guides linked has like 90% of what you need to know

#

and again you aare also running tea

#

when you dont run tea in ST

rancid crow
#

Oh

short radish
#

do flag -> evis -> dance -> backstab -> symbols sectech

#

not a flag into straight dance sectech

acoustic matrix
#

aight, why tho

short radish
#

you gotta ramp that flag

#

we rampers now

tepid trellis
#

you can do flag straight into dance

acoustic matrix
#

it's the same

#

you spend the same amount

short radish
#

is it?

acoustic matrix
#

I mean

tepid trellis
#

it doesent matter

acoustic matrix
#

technically you lose 1 spender before dance

rancid crow
#

So flag evis, not flag rupture?

short radish
#

i thoguht we wanna stack the flag charges before sectech

#

always do a flag -> finisher

rancid crow
#

Or was that a typo?

tepid trellis
#

its 16 or so % mastery

rancid crow
#

Oh okay

warm marlin
short radish
tepid trellis
#

from those flag stacks

warm marlin
#

im partial to always refreshing rupture but

acoustic matrix
tepid trellis
acoustic matrix
#

but i think it's marginal gains

short radish
#

tbh i always just reapply rupture anyway

#

because it always falls off before i can reapply after flags over

tepid trellis
#

of shit that doesnt matter

short radish
#

honestly though just get an onuse trinket @acoustic matrix

#

that probably solves a lot of it

acoustic matrix
#

I wish i was that easy

tepid trellis
#

you would lose out on 7 stacks of flag which is around 16,8% mastery

warm marlin
#

yea double passive is turbo ass

tepid trellis
#

on your noodle sectech

acoustic matrix
#

I have shitty luck this season

short radish
#

farm warcrates

#

get the addon

tepid trellis
#

and sub is sorta backloaded

short radish
#

join a group

#

get it done in 60-90 minutes

tepid trellis
#

and once you do sectech into coups you are insta flag capped

sectech coup coup my beloved

Subtlety Macros:
We do not recommend macroing your cooldowns together because most of them result in performance losses compared to using them manually.
The following macros are an exception:

/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null```
```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 as well.

hello guys if we dont have any other on use trink should we use prism on cd?

fathom adder
#

with blades

hazy plank
#

ye thats what i meant ^^

short radish
#

!prism

wicked joltBOT
#

Unyielding Netherprism
Its a trinket you should be using with your Shadow Blades, using it on 9 or 18 stacks is the same on a target dummy but in practice thing like big pulls, damage amps or timings often end up favoring the big 18 stack.

hazy plank
#

any chance to pre stack before dungeon or it resets?

potent valve
#

Thanks mate, ill try. Played rogue on and off since vanilla, never played sub. Finding it hard :p

short radish

What are the chances that it’s another week without patch notes

sleek tide

Is anyone else feeling like it’s hard to dot big packs with CB build? Feels energy starved

How did you switch to this view?

hazy plank
#

not for the tea but for the 100 bonus energy

short radish
#

click that button

sacred yarrow
#

it just zooms the image, what am I doing wrong

last gate
#

sub does healer dps without cd and thats the design

#

if you energy starve during cd or dance

#

then its a you issue i guess

rancid crow
#

I thought tea was for the mastery buff

last gate
#

i play tea cause i cant use cb on 2nd sectec

tribal blade
#

hey do i press sectec on cd

rancid crow
#

But, the extra energy 200 energy is also pretty nice when you’re spamming shrunken storm.

tribal blade
#

also can i macro flag and blades together

last gate
rancid crow
last gate
#

youre still dealing healer dps

tribal blade
rancid crow
sleek tide
#

When you’re running into large packs with CB you can only rupture like 2-3 packs before runningout of energy and waiting on energy to use a gcd feels bad

sleek tide
rancid crow
#

Oops, I mean dance

short radish
sleek tide
#

Combo spenders reduce dance cd

tribal blade
last gate
#

but its like

#

you get haste

tribal blade
#

use both trinkets why the fuck not

last gate
#

for higher energy regen

short radish
#

if youre not dancing your damage doesnt matter

last gate
#

to spam more SS BP out of dance window

short radish
#

!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".

what should i craft today btw

tribal blade

nice i thought so

sleek tide
tribal blade
#

this channel is full of stupid people not macroing everything together

short radish
#

please dont tell me you are rupturing every single mob

shadow lance

Just use one button rotation guys

before you are sending cooldowns

rancid crow

The other channels were pretty helpful

how to fix this on sim?

tribal blade
last gate
#

i wanted to sim a crafted ring

tribal blade
#

there's no magic number to rupture

chrome fern
#

anyone able to suggest to me, why i sim an offhand upgrade of 13 ilvl, and it says i'll lose dps?

tribal blade
sleek tide
#

I’m not taking about it standard packs I mean BIG pulls where there are healthy mobs like first pull of FG or HOA

Finna get my mythic forge today and the dps will rise

oh yeah @tribal blade you weren't online for this but I cooked up the most amazing open world build that

Deathstalker, flagless, danceless and also takes goremaws

#

it's acutally so good for WQ

fossil forge
#

idk it just feels amazing with the double on use

tribal blade
short radish
#

because hear me out right

#

mobs have like 5 or 10 mill health

#

they die in one or 2 finishers

fossil forge
#

Send the build

short radish
#

but if all your damage is baked in dance you have so much downtime

#

so this takes all the power out of dance

We have a new spark this week, would you rather crafting an item to 720? or upgrade mythic track items to max? 🙂

acoustic matrix
#

Depends on the items

steady dune
#

Like always, sim it

proper vortex
#

😄

#

okay

signal moth
#

out of interest as they sim the exact same and ill just yolo pick one.. but you prefer either tier myth chest or tier myth hands from vault (upgrades from hero tier) from a pure 'this feels better for me even though numbers are the same

fossil forge
#

U can sim crafted items not all players actually know

signal moth
steady dune
signal moth
#

so all my myth stuff will just come from vault

steady dune
#

Then its all a roll of the dice but chest should have more stats on it than gloves I believe

signal moth
#

hands are cool transmog though

#

that is like 0.5% dps no?

acoustic matrix
#

Did you sim it ?

#

Unless stats are really bad it's unlikely chest isn 't better than hands

fossil forge
#

Head chest legs give most stats

Any dookie vaults today lads

every hero track I got is basically the same item/worse

I just made a full int raid pug to loot the prism

Anyone knows if drop chance is influenced by number of eligible players ?

nope

#

you could have something drop that literally 0 people can use

Had it a lot in raids without hunters

acoustic matrix
#

Really ? lol

carmine portal
#

Bows/guns dropping

bleak night
#

one rogue and 3 daggers on loom

#

ez

steady dune
#

the number of items is influenced by the number of players though, so bang out a 40man

It did seem that a lot of the drops were int though

Is he supercharging all of his finishers or ?

team, if i see something like this: usually we said after doing our 2 dances in cds, its 2 dances outside of cds after pull, 1 dance outside after 2nd set, then again 2 and so on

I need help

ionic thorn
sacred yarrow

this guy could use 2 outside dances after second cds as well, when do we do that?

ionic thorn

if we have enough cdr

i still struggle a bit when to dance and when not to dance

runic trail

cause i dont wanna fuck my cds

#

or delay

Sometimes delaying CDs good

hollow spear
#

I sometimes dance too early if I had too much to drink at a party

#

Is there any reason raidbots sims would be slightly favoring crit enchants and gems for rings when simming for aoe? should I ignore it and go for vers mast prio as usual?

void ocean
#

i almost cried when i analysed top parse on 3rd boss

#

like delayed 3rd flag for one minute

#

still top parse 😄

acoustic matrix

afaik something something you want 2 dances and 2 symbols on flag window

hollow spear
#

RNGsus blesses them for their sins

ionic thorn
#

so

wild vine
ionic thorn
#

just don't oversend if you wouldn't get that

hollow spear
#

Maybe he fell asleep on his symbols keybind?

ionic thorn
#

maybe that means you naked sectech

he technically still supercharged his 2nd sectec though

so?

Is he spam pushing his key ? lmao

with more 3% damage amps + gear

like I swear I have it

rank 1 log != optimal play

but dude is rank 1

How do I convince loot council to give me forge

Man we're not talking unoptimal play here

We're talking giga trolling

void ocean
hollow spear

he probably would have had 300k dps extra if he hadn't done that

acoustic matrix

There must be something going on

hollow spear
#

no

#

it's just luck

plucky parrot
ionic thorn
#

bro just doesn't have the macro

void ocean
#

isnt the whole point of raiding rank 1 log

hollow spear
#

look at the #1 fractillus parse

ionic thorn
hollow spear
#

he played correctly, but lucked out of this world

#

it just happens

ionic thorn
#

parses are cool

plucky parrot
acoustic matrix
#

So parses are just luck ?

ionic thorn
#

but can't parse without boss ded

hollow spear
#

not just

ionic thorn
hollow spear
#

but a lot of it is getting lucky

plucky parrot
#

but without good fundamentals

limpid sage
plucky parrot
#

you won't luck into good damage

acoustic matrix
#

I mean the dude is literally spam castin symbols and rank 1ing

#

That's beyond me

void ocean
#

it seems without delaying burst on Souldbinger u get 2nd adds perfectly aligned for the 1 stack prism

acoustic matrix
#

How any luck could make up for that

void ocean
#

18 stack*

ionic thorn
plucky parrot
#

I mean

#

more tier procs

#

more coups

#

mroe flawless stacks in cds

#

causes big swings

limpid sage
#

a top 2.3% luck pull vs an avg one will have ~10% dmg diff on luck alone

hidden geyser
#

is anybody here playing lilly + prism?

limpid sage
#

given you press buttons with the same logic

acoustic matrix
#

I don't have that variance on target dummy though

hollow spear
#

sometimes 3 people dying to just eek out a full last flag window is the luck you need

acoustic matrix
#

I do a lot of 2 min runs and it's always around the same mark

limpid sage
acoustic matrix
#

yeah fair

limpid sage
#

:D

acoustic matrix
#

This shatters my view of parses tbh

limpid sage
#

I can do some disgusting openers on dummy sometimes and other times I just get 0 unseen blade procs and barely get above 7 mil

acoustic matrix
#

But if that's the case, why do we see players getting top tier logs over and over ?

#

Wouldn't you need to be giga lucky to be rank 1 on even 2 bosses ?

#

If someone can roll his head on kb and get rank 1 ?

hidden geyser
#

it can't be news to you that parses are like that man

plucky parrot
#

not every boss is a patchwerk sim

split garden
#

Tbf ur looking at by far the most pad parse fight of the tier u don’t have to play good if ur in an environment that enables u to pad

limpid sage
#

they tend to play with very good people so they have really good killtimers

acoustic matrix
#

I mean I knew it was influenced by luck

hidden geyser
#

imagine i can play sub better than you but my guild's kill timer is higher than yours and you end up with a better kill timer and better cd windows

acoustic matrix
#

But i've never seen such a giga troll rank 1

limpid sage
#

and they ofc just play a lot better than your avg joe

acoustic matrix
#

altho I would argue

#

Shindig got rank 1 fractilius ona 3 minute kill

#

whiich is our absolute worse timer

split garden
#

Also that’s a heroic parse ? Like legit doesn’t matter at all

#

30 man enviroment

#

He was allowed to pad

#

Doesn’t have to play right

acoustic matrix
#

How do you pad on fractilius tho

ionic thorn
void ocean
#

calling it padding is generous

#

its more like full ignore of any mechanics

ionic thorn
acoustic matrix
#

there's literally no mechanic to do that you can escape doing on frac

limpid sage
maiden oar
#

on soulbinder u can just gobble up all the adds before everyone else

#

if u time ur dance/flag right

#

no one has to let u pad u can just get them all

limpid sage
#

r1 and r2 comparison

ionic thorn
#

also

#

fract doesn't seem like a boss that you can "ignore" mechanics

acoustic matrix
ionic thorn
#

Just because luck is involved doesn't mean that other factors don't play more of a role

#

tbf

#

there's certainly luck involved in getting into the highest echelon of most things but the things you can control have more impact

lavish lodge
#

Yeah

limpid sage
#

but you can't tell me 61% crit on his cloak didn't play a huge factor in being able to parse r1 on that specific encounter

#

along with proccing 18 times

acoustic matrix
#

Or maybe it's also that to be in a position to get that kind of luck, you need the gear to go with it for it to matter and he's on of the few who does have it ?

lavish lodge
#

You see this in ffxiv a lot since in that bosses are refightable quickly even after you kill them for the week, rng plays a significant factor but the players who parse high continue to parse high because their upswings on rng are higher than other peoples’ because it’s a higher base number

limpid sage
#

when you're as good as shindig is, the difference between him and the other consistent 99/100 parsers is luck

limpid sage
#

multiple factors stack on top of each other

maiden oar
#

and some ff guys will also just wall it if they arent on track for a pb

lavish lodge
#

Like even if you can get an rng swing of +/- 5%, if the competition is 3% below you then your median is still nearly their top end

wild vine
#

Id imagine

lavish lodge
#

To say nothing of padding

limpid sage
maiden oar
#

like there are people like that one paladin who does the fights hundreds of times with a tome weapon to get r1

lavish lodge
maiden oar
#

lapin gino i think

#

lapin gino is so cool

void ocean
#

Those boots drop from hunters, right?

wild vine
#

Yep

maiden oar
#

doesnt even need bis

void ocean
#

I got em in hc but forgot from which one

ionic thorn
#

at least Shindig makes me feel better here with this

lavish lodge
#

But ffxiv also doesn’t include buffs in log results to avoid a lot of padding effects

ionic thorn
#

idk what I'm doing wrong rn but outlaw is not it for me this season

void ocean
#

Fck outlaw

lavish lodge
#

So WoW has thingsvthat skew parses too

hidden geyser
#

lmao outlaw is ded

ionic thorn
void ocean
#

We sandbagging

ionic thorn
#

maybe come midnight outlaw can have a real CD and not be AR uptime centric

hidden geyser
#

until you get targeted by something and your uptime is lowered then your adr rush window runs out and oops

maiden oar
#

i think logs not being farmable in this game and the way gear progression is more drawn out makes it easier

hasty oasis
#

If we have the Cursed Idol we shout do it before Flag or After ?

maiden oar
#

and im also like not super consistent yet i have alot to learn before im actually good at wow

lavish lodge
#

Yeah it’s… not easier, but less time consuming, to parse chase in wow

maiden oar
#

idk i think id never ever have a 100 in xiv

#

no matter how long i play

Highest I’ve done in xiv was a 96

maiden oar
#

i just did not have it in me

lavish lodge
#

On like, an actual serious boss. Not including casual content ofc

maiden oar
#

ive had 99s but 100 in xiv is too demanding bc u can just spam the fights

ionic thorn
#

never gotten a rank 1 in wow, but have def had my fair share of 95-98 with a couple of 99s, I'd like to chalk it up to me prioritizing having an enjoyable raid team over a really good raid team

#

but then again probably copium

maiden oar
#

i never had it in me in xiv

lavish lodge
#

My main thing is like

#

Parse strats are not clear strats

maiden oar
#

ppl like clear strats sometimes

lavish lodge
#

They can deviate significantly

maiden oar
#

did u ever see that one black mage in fru pf

#

trying to c41 people to get a better kt

#

bc the c41s are worse at doing dmg

ionic thorn
#

surely I'll be farming all the rank 1s in Midnight with Devourer DH cuz obviously I'll be the only one who wants to main it amirite?

maiden oar
#

he was like in there 24/7

lavish lodge
#

I think the most hilarious example was the warrior parse strat on p3s in ffxiv where you pop their 2 min cd 30 seconds early and waste 90% of it so that it doesn’t come up during add phase and get wasted

maiden oar
#

but on a rdps job it goes both ways

#

ive had like really good ndps logs that are just miserable rdps bc my team cant press button in my buff

ionic thorn
ionic thorn
#

that and the 2m meta

maiden oar
#

sneaky doton is fun in ults that let you

#

oh yeah i quit xiv after fru bc of the horrible job design

#

lhw and fru were not interesting enough to compensate for 123

#

so i moved to wow in 11.1

#

wahoo!

ionic thorn
#

I really enjoy FFXIV for what it is but I just genuinely dislike the rigidity

maiden oar
shut ridge
#

and they have me soaking in immune set too

#

it's unequivocally over

I'm on 2 and 3

dont they know u still get the absorb

ionic thorn
#

we also are doing the no knock strat

shut ridge
#

it's sickening really

ionic thorn
#

have plenty of knocks to do it

#

so idk why

maiden oar
#

play healer in xiv if u want to speedrun quitting

tired ridge
#

HC Forge or M pacemaker (already have Hero Pacemaker and Hero Lily), what do you think is best long term?

shut ridge
#

just gonna accept my boss dam cope it's so over

maiden oar
#

yea im boss dam coping so hard

#

im with u

shut ridge

I wasn't before but I'm all in now

#

at what rate does forge lose its stats btw?

ionic thorn
# maiden oar it sucks

yeah I think WoW moving away from the rigid rotation idea and more into a priority list (and not having major CDs on 80% of the classes that buff everyone else) was the right move

signal moth
limpid sage
#

is it linear or?

Hello boys, i play SUb/assa, and this is my vault. Antenna or weapon???? Dont have fractilius trinket but have araz. ( I Play m+ mostly)

ionic thorn
#

obviously I think it's too late in FFXIV's life cycle to change their job design drastically but I can hope for maybe 2m meta to die?

maiden oar
#

wow class design is so good

#

i love this game

acoustic matrix
maiden oar
#

im way more motivated to learn this game and get better at it than i ever was w/ xiv

ionic thorn
#

like their equivalent of haste is ironically a dead stat because it competes with 2m meta

#

which is wild

Antenna prism is the highest simming

@vale pine

thats how i get mine 😎

acoustic matrix

fossil forge
#

Whats the point of having the trinket If ur not running at the orbs

ionic thorn
#

they last for like 23s

#

and come to you

maiden oar
#

i mostly ignore the orbs im a noob

fossil forge
#
  • they float to you
maiden oar
#

i should try to game it

ionic thorn
#

you legit have to try to miss them (in most cases)

clever delta
#

Someone said miss chance on last two was 20%

short radish
#

dunno there are logs where ppl have like

#

70% uptime

#

or osmething

maiden oar
#

oh i mean i should try to only eat em with dance and flag

short radish
#

it happens

ionic thorn
#

it can happen ye

#

soul hunters is a decent example, when you're getting zucc'd the orbs move away from you when you're running away from the zucc

acoustic matrix
vale pine
ionic thorn
#

but those situations are much more niche compared to most gameplay

fossil forge
#

U can ignore them when 10 sec for cds while collecting shadowcraft and then eat them all at once

clever delta
# vale pine whats the question?

I noticed in today sim that non delve belts sim much higher for me. Today 707 belt was ahead 0.2% of delve one.. meanwhile last week was like 30k dps behind

meager merlin
#

i guess shoulders are the best here ? even though shoulders are kinda trash tier piece

clever delta
#

Did they change anything

maiden oar
#

if u have antenna its better but i think m crystal > hero pacemaker

#

if ur m+ only

vale pine
meager merlin
#

im m+ only yes

meager merlin
#

shouldnt i use 2 on uses like araz + prism ?

maiden oar
#

its like .6% better than hero pacemaker on bloodmallet

#

really minor

acoustic matrix
#

How big a buff is ancestral call ? I see a lot of top loggers running it

maiden oar
#

probably not a big deal

fossil forge
#

its minimal

#

On st

maiden oar
#

u can though

#

its good on last 2 bosses in raid bc of fight design

split garden
fossil forge
#

Fuu posted the racial differences If u scroll up

clever delta

Any advice on my vault? Is arakara any good

fossil forge
#

!racial

maiden oar
meager merlin
#

on sim

acoustic matrix
#

I'd 100% take prism

#

You can get any myth shoulders and catalyze them

wheat crypt
ionic thorn
#

you could just go void elf

#

and still be a blood elf

#

with objectively better racials lmao

maiden oar
mighty citrus
meager merlin
ionic thorn
#

honestly like void elf blink>the extra like 20k you'd get by being mag'har

ornate heron
#

for sub, if you had something like:
/cast forgemaster trinket
/cast netherprism
/cast shadowblades

#

would it use the forgemaster with shadowblades first

#

and then when its on cd, would it use netherprism the next time?

ornate heron
#

or would this not work?

maiden oar
#

for dslice the crystals not bad

acoustic matrix
#

it would work

maiden oar
#

so its up to u i think

ionic thorn
#

double on use is so cursed though

ornate heron
#

yeah but its so good this season no?

ionic thorn
#

eh?

ornate lake
#

Bruh the hc kyveza ring is outsimming all my mythic loot by 2.7% OMEGAKEKW

No mythic gear for me I guess

shadow lance
ionic thorn
meager merlin
#

crystal is just a bit better than shoulders but i see nobody using crystal

shadow lance
#

Maybe not that bad but I'm nearly sure you don't have 100% orbs collected

maiden oar
#

i see idk how u sim m+ besides dslice im just going off of fuus sheet

#

can just do shoulder

shadow lance
bleak night
#

so might want to have a prism bind seperately just in case

split garden
#

Imo if u can handle the bind u bind blades and araz together and when we it’s nether prism window u just press it right before blades

ionic thorn
#

obviously not the whole picture but

#

I don't see why there wouldn't be some places where it could be advantageous

#

I just won't be fucked with double on use

split garden
maiden oar
#

since u need araz prism for 2x on use to do anything good

acoustic matrix
#

I've actually seen someone do great dam with lily prism

maiden oar
#

oh yeah its not bad

#

but compared to prism passive its not crazy

chrome palm
#

It’s ok charrend gets prism week 15 trust

maiden oar
#

ok i pass my prism luck onto him

#

i hit this week

dusk stone
chrome palm
#

Prism and forge in vault but neither dropped from raid

wheat crypt
#

Me me me prism charm me

dusk stone
#

it makes the stat you gain way less valuable

maiden oar
#

i like his monk profile picture hes earned it

ionic thorn
ornate heron
maiden oar
#

yea i got vault prism

#

vault forge next

ornate heron
#

myth lily but hero araz trinket

acoustic matrix
#

I mean sim it but i wouldn't be surprised if lily outclassed it

ornate heron
#

it likes the lily a little more

dusk stone
#

you want double on use strictly for last 2 bosses of raid

ornate heron
#

i just see ALL the sub rogues using araz prism

#

maybe because they dont have myth lily though

dusk stone
#

its inferior to antenna/maker and prism elsewhere

wheat crypt
#

Is lfr prism better than mytich lily?

chrome palm
#

I have a feeelinnng pacemaker is good for 3 minute burst but

#

Idk

acoustic matrix
#

lfr prism is a 5.5% upgrade for me

chrome palm
#

I tried so hard and my last week logs got like 20% more crits on all fights gg

#

Pacemaker did not make that diff

ionic thorn
dusk stone
#

no

#

forge is awful outside of double use

acoustic matrix
#

yeah 2 min sucks

signal socket
ionic thorn
#

ok so prism + sigil then

#

disregard the forge

dusk stone
#

prism and sigil is decent yes

chrome palm
#

Sigil is dogshit

jaunty harbor
#

Would I be trolling if I picked a Hero Antenna over Myth shoulders?

chrome palm
#

Every time I used it the proc did last damage than prism proc

west tide
split garden
dusk stone
#

sigil actually sims pretty ok

chrome palm
#

Sims are good but idk

#

I did norm soulbinder last week took 2:30 I had ONE sigil proc

dusk stone
lavish lodge
#

Behold fight specific opener lol

west tide
#

if you are close to doing nexus dimensius id value mythic tier and then try to get prism forge for those bosses

dusk stone
#

araz, does not have 8k passive agility

maiden oar
#

warrior players so funny

lavish lodge
maiden oar
#

97% 123123123 3% that

dusk stone
#

so araz after you normalize it against other trinkets in the same slot is around 22k agility decaying over the course of 30 seconds

lavish lodge
#

Xiv is a game where actual optimization strats are often indiscernible from shitposts

dusk stone
#

most of your damage is going to be inside the front half of that

#

so its not significantly better than other trinkets except inside the first 16 seconds or so, which is where its value comes from

dusk stone
#

short term amps or large add phases are where it shines

#

long term its not as good as a passive

solid vale
#

how are you guys able to fit 2 sec tech in the first dance window? for raid

mighty topaz
#

is it worth crafting another wep or helm? both ones im using are 704?

maiden oar
#

knife is good craft

maiden oar
#

unless u mean offhand

ionic thorn
mighty topaz
#

yes offhand

west tide
#

forge is bis on the last 2 fights on mythic p sure

#

forge prism so

dusk stone
#

oh

maiden oar
#

oh ok

dusk stone
#

you can sometimes fit 2nd sectec into first dance window with shadow technique procs

#

because of the extra cdr

#

i think thats only during TFD though

maiden oar
#

id sim but my plan for next craft is a ring or a neck personally

#

tier hat is good

#

so id be hesitant to craft that slot

dusk stone
#

i legit have nothing to cata lol

mighty topaz
#

i see

#

ty

maiden oar
#

im using ascendance on offhand but

#

i didnt get myth weapon for awhile and crafted it w1 as my main hand

#

and sometimes i play sin for st fights so its good for that guy

karmic harbor
#

Is there a site that'll show me DPS increases for racials

thick flax
#

bloodmallet probably

dusk stone
#

orc is essentially the highest

#

night elf isnt bad

#

human is nice in several dungeons this pool

maiden oar
#

i like dwarf

#

its marginally less dmg but the racials good

short radish
maiden oar
#

and still more dmg than almost every other guy

maiden oar
#

but hes funny

karmic harbor
maiden oar
#

can check here

#

can do this to sim ur guy specifically

#

should take you to racial sim copypaste section

but i guess gz to vault and we are happy for you :p

vale pine
#

there might be some fights you won't play it

bleak night
vale pine
#

like dimensius

#

because of how the fight is constructed

#

but last 2 fights you would play double on use

#

forge + prism

#

everywhere else, can decide

#

prism + passive is as good as double on use and in many cases probably better even

vale pine
wheat cloak
#

are not taken the rotten in aoe anymore?

ionic thorn
#

Oh hai

vale pine

rotten is fine if you want it

forest pond
vale pine

but its not that strong anymore

wheat cloak

ahh

#

what would you replace for it

fossil forge
#

Finality gang

vale pine
#

i would not trust dropoptimizer

#

but rather use

#

top gear

#

there is a text file you can copy/paste in pinned in #tc-research

forest pond
#

can i sim crafting in top gear?

vale pine
#

to add all crafted gear

forest pond
#

okay thank you 🙂

vale pine
ionic thorn
vale pine
#

i prefere copy/paste, i am lazy

ionic thorn

At the top you can pretty much add any items you want

forest pond
#

perfect thank u all, will look into it!

fossil forge
#

Cb with rotten and tea with finality thoughts ? @vale pine

#

?¿

vale pine
#

i don't think rotten is that good

#

but its gear dependent

#

tea vs cold blood is mostly mood

#

both are strong

fossil forge
#

i take tea in aoe heavy dungeons

fast fulcrum
#

Quick question: When you have 2 supercharged combopoints and have Coup and Sectech ready do you use the double coup first or sectech first?

fossil forge
#

Can you sim talents

maiden oar
lunar crystal
#

Why does the macro for backstab use castsequence, and not just macro tea, backstab and dance together in the same cast?

maiden oar
#

im currently running it bc i have so much vers mast and not alot of crit

#

but its feelycraft

vale pine
#

dslice is good for gear compare

haughty mural
vale pine
#

for talents its not opinionated enough

maiden oar
#

i see

runic trail
#

Either that or bribery

vale pine
#

what i mean by that, its a good generalization but keys will value more st, cleave or aoe and it often comes down to the group constellation

fossil forge
haughty mural
twin quartz
#

I like the tea build in dungeons because I can shuriken storm a lot more between dances in aoe

#

Just feels more fluid

haughty mural
#

But I did bribe an officer

#

Don’t need to do it anymore

mighty citrus
#

wanna check double on use

runic trail
vale pine
#

2 options

#

option 1: you just type the name in item search

#

ohhhh

#

fuu i discovered today that pacemaker is like within 0.4% of antenna

vale pine
#

nice

dusk stone
#

its 30k diff

vale pine
#

i play peacemaker heroic atm

dusk stone
#

20% miss

vale pine
#

antenna is very contested sadly

dusk stone
#

antenna really isnt as strong as it seems, or pacemaker is really good

haughty rose
#

is the gear compare tool bad? I find it so much easier to use than top gear

mighty citrus
vale pine
#

also not bad

vale pine
dusk stone
#

i thought the miss rate was 0%

#

by default

vale pine
#

you can run away from the orb

#

to delay the trigger

#

or into it to trigger it faster

dusk stone
#

yeah but maker is always up

random trench
#

If I intend to play double on use do i still need to sim with custom apl or is the one on raidbots managing double on use fine?

vale pine
#

fair

mighty citrus
#

so double on use is not it?

dusk stone
#

i guess my point is antenna shouldnt be as contested

#

just go farm pacemaker basically

vale pine
#

forge is rly good

karmic harbor
#

People out here simming 400k more than me rollcalico

vale pine
#

double on use is bis on last 2 fights

dusk stone
#

forge sucks for us

#

were kinda low prio for it at least according to my RL

vale pine
#

wdym

#

forge + prism are within low % margin

dusk stone
#

but its bis for us where it actually matters

vale pine
#

and its the best combo for as i mentioned the last 2 fights

karmic harbor
dusk stone
#

i kinda do

rustic mortar
#

i have araz and prism and a mythic lili in vault 😮

dusk stone
#

a lot of people dont go over sim math and think deep on stuff

karmic harbor
#

You have to advocate for yourself

#

I have prism mythic lily and mythic pacemaker

dusk stone
#

prism maker here as well

shut ridge
#

but never hurts

dusk stone
#

yeah

#

its just big for some people

karmic harbor
#

Ofc

dusk stone
#

and we've seen 0 drops

#

it would also be considered a side grade for me as well so

remote shuttle
#

Forge+prism Is huge gameplay wise, last 2 boss as fuu said but also m+

vale pine
#

raids often otpimize diffrently

shut ridge
#

you can write a novel but sometimes it's as simple as a, "well, this is numerically better for [you] but [guild pumper] also needs a decent trinket and therefore we are giving it to them" angle

dusk stone
#

tried it

shut ridge
#

the best thing you can do is try your hardest to not be a rogue player

dusk stone
#

genuinely frustrating

#

bro

karmic harbor
#

If destro wasn't a spec I'd play warlock

dusk stone
#

you take elusive and then healers learn to not heal you

karmic harbor
#

But fuck having to play destro for some prog fights

alpine raft
#

!up

karmic harbor
#

Demo is my favourite spec but the threat of destro is always haunting me

dusk stone
#

the play is just evoker tbh

karmic harbor
#

At least for rogue and the world rank I'm at nobody expects me to play outlaw if I'm sub/sin

dusk stone

ye but you have to be like an actual outlaw player for that

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 or with 4+ targets, if you have the 4 set buff active and need to build combo points 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.
vale pine
bleak night
#

ranged sub but instead of casts you attack from range by sending in shadow clones

limpid sage
#

wait was premeditation the culprit making shadowcraft not proc all along

vale pine
#

like, what if our attaks just turned into ranged when using shadow dance

#

there is a lot of potential for visual updates too

wet echo

am i tripping or did we have something similar before? like having your autoattacks have 30 yd range

ember thorn
bleak night
#

my thoughts are im mad you have a hero track antenna with myth track in vault

#

while im stuck with champ track

ember thorn
#

ahaha but is antenna that good for sub?

#

hc antenna was vault from last week tho

dusk stone
#

antenna is good yes

#

bis passive

#

well no way you take the weapon because you have one crafted

#

3 weapon ilvl isnt much

#

antenna is good

#

maybe you take weapon if you have mythic pacemaker

ember thorn
#

but that weapon sims higher that the max levl antenna
