Isnt it just flat dr period
What do you guys think of the weak aura people made, I made one for myself cause I didnt know some people made theirs
should i switch to them, they feel complete
It says non area of effect damage
cheat will save you way more than elusiveness will
#wow-general message
You can check the spreadsheet pinned in #wow-general here to see if feint works on things or not in dungeons.
Ye so it doesnt affect area of effect damage
the non-aoe damage you're taking is likely to kill you even with the 20% dr
outside of edge cases
So its either 40% because its considered aoe OR its 20% because its not
Its not 40% AND 20%
does sec tech cleave around the boss or you?
Yeah i know
Around the boss
the target you hit
kk
yea esp if the boss displaces
yah doing araz with 1 evoker
or hitbox shenanigans
ads are never grouped
shadowcraft
in relevant keys*
Start dimensius > target add to not be teleported into the middle > get placed behind him so you have to turn around to hit boss > cast flag on the boss > swap back to adds for sectech

made that mistake
same with p3
lmao
Not that one, the one where first coup can refund cps after a delay
also happens with the adds in the lightning chambers
It is shadowcraft
Even I don't have enough stacks?
Coup does damage multiple times, and its bugged so it can proc on any of the hits
So if you have 5 stacks when you press the button
But get 7 when the third hit happens (1s later) then you will get the refund
classic case of multi-hit ability being problematic 
u wait a sec i guess
If you have 5 when you cast coup just sit and wait really
Not much else to do
Pray blizzard fixes it ig?
Watch coup cd i guess

in ST, when do i storm between coups?
- during dance
- during dance and shadowblades
- outside of dance
Fun UI I did for SUB
Alright, thanks
it's easy in aoe cuz i can storm and get max cp most times
Very smoll
!coup
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.
During Shadow Blades or with 4+ targets
ohhhhhhh. so in ST without shadowblades, always BS or strike. got it
Its shadowed finishers
If you dont have fw up (or shadowed finishers specced) you wont get the refunds in the middle of the cast
huh
!auras
!wa
The coup refunding per hit thing
Doesnt happen if you dont have shadowed finishers
Is there a WA that is more recommanded?
Like a people favorite
im like 99.9% sure the clip i used for evidence i did not have FW up
ok guys im on nexus now no prism but i have a heroic forge, heroic lily, mythic antenna all same ilevel 710 for now wwyd...
YOOO is there a feint spreadsheet for raids mechanics?
!def
Rogue Defensive Spreadsheet: > Click to open <
Take the prism you had in your vault. 
tyvm
i fucked up i took an antenna man
Use whatever sims highest
but its a mythic one..

Have fun catching bawls
antenna is barely better than PM
Ok mb i was lying, i thought i remembered it only happening with FW up but im wrong

yeh has nothing to do with shadowed
The finality thing does though
This is probably it
Thats whats consuming it per hit
36k agi vs 10k mastery
this bug just needs to get the fuck out
Ive gotten so used to it at this point
š
im coping its getting fixed in the 0.5 patch
geting a refund 0.9sec after i pressed the finisher is
DIABOLICAL behaviour
yea thats annoying
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I thought it was lag š
is never do 2 tech in the first dance a dps loss?
doesent really matter all that much
id only do it myself if sectech is up a good bit left of the first dance
Good thing you have 0.3s to react since coups GCD is 1.2 seconds for some reason

i hate the 1 sec left of dance sectech
then me spamming the fuck out of my dance keybind
so i just dont
0,27 according to the log
it came in at 0.93 after gcd
after cast*
Just tuned in to chat so dont know the context but assume this is highlighting a very slow delayed combo refund which could lead to poor gcd choice as you use a builder needlessly?
yes it just coup being a dickhead
Yeah
I think similar shit happens on outlaw with bte refunds sometimes
i might crashout if its not fixed in the 0,5 patch
I love the optimism
might just fully brick it xD
I mean finality not interacting at all with coup
Is better than what it currently does
Yes sir
i had my sht proc to 7 3ms before the final coup hit (not a frame in my vod did i have 7 sht) and then my shadowstrike gcd went off 180ms after the refund
very cool
spoiler alert ur not gonna enjoy it on sub either because the fight is TURBO ASS
yea but im already doing more damage
yeh the third coup hit lands somewhere between 0.9 and 0.95
and we've seen enrage
yeah thats true u do get to see urself on the meters
so we need more dam
yeah the good news about sub is u just get to sen d the brust during the safe periods when they grouped up then wander around inbetween
yea thats the idea it seems
or just get killed by your shaman healer on the first hunts
then lay dead
the entire fight
until its dead
That was me on loom this week
that was me on soulhunter reclear
man i wish we had the damage for that
Chain and getting range dropping circles on me
we've had awful drop and vault luck generally
someone agreed to sell me lfr prism but they left before it could be sent to inventory and cant trade it now
everything is cursed
Have you tried just getting prism?
i have a warbound one laying around

1 drop so far on heroic and it went to hunter
which is fine ofc
but like
cmon
where are they
my rogue has 3
i was in pvp trinket prison until dinars came out last season too
why is my rupture displaying in my logs so late? It shows up within a gcd of sectech here
You guys decided upon reclearing or not yet
Looks like youre looking at damage and not casts
derp, ty
And rupture doesnt tick immediately once you apply it, as its a damage over time effect
doubt we will tbh
Ye its only like 2.5% simdps over my current one
Would be nice
It is what it is though
Fractilus too busy dropping 2 leather boots everytime we kill him
same lmfao
Why did they even bother adding other boots to the raid smh my head
allow the raid boots to be cataād into special boots
make it cost 2x charges idk
boots are dumb
This tier more than most theres like, so much locked in gwear
its kinda crazy
4 tier pieces, 2 crafted items, the cloak, the boots, 2 trinkets
Probably expected the optional boss to be more optional
I guess more crit its not that bad?
Optional when it increases the cloak 1.4 / 1.5 
Idk, but it seems weird that sims higher when it will low vers and mast a lot that ring
Haste rn is only on chest and that gem, so all good
Why do you have haste on a gem?
Blasfemite effect

Unless is not needed, idk
Too late to sim and I just put things there
you can probably replace that gem too. lol
is there some bug where you can't press shadow dance if you have an extended shadow dance up
You cant dance while dance is active period
looking at some log stuff for Soulbinder. Have the same casts for each ability within a 1-2 sec same kill time as someone but their nimble flurry is doing 2x more damage than mine. Same opener and dance sequences and within 1-2 sec of each other. Is this a positioning thing or adds dying faster?
If I macro symbols of death is there any way to make them not be spammed and only used once when spamming the macro?

it's at the very bottom of the macro's part so just scroll if you dont see it
if i am doing my rotation well, and i save symbols and dance around 20 second before flag comes back, are there certian times i send naked secret techs? (eg 20~25 seconds before flag/shadow blade comes back up)
Just what I was looking for ty
during the Amp on forgeweaver are you guys getting 2 sectecs in? we're progging it now and i was only able to get 1 at the start
the 2nd is available right when it ends

dimensius is such a good fight
It might be an all timer honestly
Such a good fight to prog
!wa
@hazy breach hi quick question if you dont mind - how tight is the cdr on sectech if you do the dance before flag on the dmg amp in nexus king?
i was just dancing during the 2nd lasers 2 target thing and then pooling for amp but i saw that you and a few other people did that instead and im curious about it
Double on use?
HĆŗlkstab being sad about not having any good specs for this boss
You kill it with only one set of collectors?
ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to announce that I purple parsed on my guild's first loomithar kill
@lucid jackal cheat vs elu on nexus?
I played cheat for P3
could start elus till your healers figure out p1
Just dont be afraid to healthpot when u get hit by banishment
I'd rather have a free line fuckup in P3 tbqh
But elus isn't bad

!design
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".
so higer rank player use cold blood vs tea what are the differences? cold blood is more prio target damage?
cb more st tea more aoe
thanks!
Honestly I have energy problems with CB

black powder, they should buff it
How is Sub single target in M+ this season? Iāve been doing Sin but with Sub raid numbers I think it might be a good time to swap back to sub. I mostly run with a ret pally and frost mage so bosses feel a little painful.
big numbie
Yeah, I swapped to it for mana forge and saw some good numbers too (sure I was playing it wrong). Iām just nervous about griefing a key if I swap. Havenāt really played it seriously since they killed Shadowdust.
short cooldowns with very powerful burst windows. you dont change many talents from raid so its similar st you'd expect there pretty much
big number also activate endorphins in brain
save up a netherprism for boss or w/e and you are a nuke
no send netherprism on adds so you have bigger overalls 
real and true
I currently have netherprism macro'ed to SB but i'm not sure it's the play
maybe I should stack it to 18 and send
We donāt play tornado anymore though right? Looked at a couple different builds and it seems like there are some flex points. When does sub vanish now with Shadowdust gone?
Casual who has the highest damage numbers logged in M+ played tornado
Except on Streets
I tried using it and it does indeed slap in AOE
Okay, so itās still sort of a thing?
its a thing
But if your tank is pulling small it's not worth it
not sure who else streams a lot but casual and kush have been spamming it during eu hours
you play whatever feels comfiest
would recommend checking out
My tank pulls big, thatās why I was staying on Sin. My 5 target training dummy is way higher on sin but boss damage feels like in a tank.
like whoa thats crazy you get to cast 5 free ruptures every minute
Target dummy is unreliable on sin because of zoldyck and sanguine
You have boosted damge against low targets and target dummy are always low
Oh youāre right, I hadnāt thought about that.
Big difference between Sin and Sub is consistency and ST
sin has good damage every pack
sub is more a every other pack spec
So where do you vanish now with Shadowdust dead?
as utility
you can use it to drop combat early
so you can get tfd earlier
or you can use it to get out of roots
What? I get to use it as an actual ability? Weird haha.
getting tfd is probably the best use dps wise
Iām sold, time to regem my gear.
I mean you can stay mast crit tbh
anyone an idea on what to do here?

Yeah I had this earlier too
what did you do to fix
I'm here talking to you
like what can u do there
his best
idk thought it was a character specific issue
its literally what it says friend
maybe stuck character service or something
Anyone knows is feint working on command:behead in nexus king?
not for NA
coz the server is down
common EU L

yeah time to clean entire house
Can some1 check my log to see what I'm doing wrong? Feels like I have most stuff under control but I'm not pumping the numbers I want to https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/fpYCNgk6RF72qJ1B?fight=32&type=damage-done&source=4
Put in an example boss with high uptime
Ok beta testers
- dont cb first sectec during cds
- you missed some superchargers for sectec
- you used late dance and had to delay second cds
- your dmg will never look good with a 4.40 killtime
- you can macro prism to sb
Here's a few thing:
- You're cold blooding your first SecTech in cooldowns, do it on the second so you empower a fully flag stacked sectech
- You're not using your second coup at 0:50. I assume you were oom and couldn't get to 6CP in time but you should still send it anyway
- You want to generate with Shuriken Storm in SB between coups (1:49)
- Your SecTec at 1:56 is not supercharged, this is big dps loss. You need to use sectech as your first or second spender after symbols. You do it again at 3:40 and 3:50
- You're sending premeditation with full combo points at 0:16, 1:56 and 3:41. You want to dance -> spender and only then backstab if you're already at 6+CP
- Also what Impy said but it's weird because dancing at 2:19 should not prevent you from using CDs at 3min so I don't know what went on here
- You also don't want to use any spender and spam backstab around 10 sec before flag to stack shadow techniques stored cp
i'm OCE so NA gets to beta test for us first
Coup de grace is +5 CP, so outside of cds you can use it at 1 cp and your still meeting the priority of using a finisher at 6+ CP
Isn't it still better to send it at more cp because you still expend energy to build up the CP, and while it's technically 6 CP you aren't making great use of your energy by sending it at the hypothetical 1 cp
Yes it is but sometimes you can't build 6CP fast enough
its a linear increase, without any modifiers it doesn't matter
I mean you should just pool before sending coup then
either energy or sht so you can still be more efficient?
in single target you just cant' generate 6 CP in 4 seconds sometimes
What they are saying is that if you run into a case where you cant build cp before the second Coup, send it still.
if your in dance your going to get more, if your not in dance, and you aren't within 20 sec of blades, just send at any CP amount
I understand what Kela says but it's overcomplicated for marginal if any gain
ok, yea that's also very fair, haha.
outside of cds your sending finishers at 6+ cp for the cdr on dances and sectec, so using energy to send on a 1 CP coup ( 6 CP finisher) vs building to a higher amount and sending is all the same
lost a 17 DB because both the tank and dk got dragonriding dc bug on last boss
smile
That is very unfortunate. DB is such a buggy pos
True. I'm also kind of surprised by how good Frost DK damage is too, kinda crazy
They also use prism right?
not 100% sure, i think they did but not anymore?
a lot of high key pushers are using prism because they time certain packs around it
pop 18 stacks and obliterate huge pulls
That is 100% the way to push imo
How do you use your prism Graham ?
i use it with every blades atm
unless i want to hold for something big
i'm a little hesitant to hold it during keys because shit happens and deaths happen
like you can die and it's out of your control
and if you lose a fully stacked prism it's kinda gg
Yeah I have it macro'ed too but I was contemplating sending at 18
i died earlier in a 16 streets because i got double casted on in 2nd pull with my kick and other stuff on cd
not much i could ahve done
Cause I play cheat death for that reason
I have yet to die under def cd so I find cheat death more useful in my case
Might change at higher key level but rn even +16 casts dont one shot me in feint
anyone has a good WA for trinket cds, the one I've been using for a while now tracks soleah as an on use and idk how to make it not do that
you can't really run cheat in higher keys unfortunately
you'll just die to rot dmg /cry
of which there is a LOT this season haha
https://wago.io/3xIKwjYJZ try this
what key level did you start noticing cheat death wasn't cutting it ?
i haven't run cheat in any keys this season
i'm just so used to running elusiveness
many thanks
Honestly dont think i could Swap from nelf just to be not able to meld double bolts anymore
Hey, in raid we can macro prism with SB? Thought we use it every other SB. Or is that if using double on-use?
Oh then you'd be surprised. In 16s right now and I just don't die in feint
Only + would be evasion as an additional def cd but feint has low cd so it's not a game changer
maybe yeah
If 7 or less targets and flawless form is up do you always evis? Or do you black power at 4+ still
i dunno though, i'm thinking through the dungeons and there's quite a few dots in places
only with doulbe on use
if it's a big dot I send it and it's not threatening
You should try it and see for yourself
what do you send?
feint
we don't have anything for dots if you play cheat
or crimson
feint won't work on dots
What slot are you guys looking to craft next after weapons and bracer? Do u go straight for belt if u don't get one from vault? Is boots ever an option or we really want the hero/myth soul hunters boots?
well then i'm feinting the wind and not dying lol
just sim droptimizer
haha
P sure you dont craft boots though
well i think it would be good to get used to elusive asap
because you'll run into a point where cheat will become useless in keys
Yeah that's what I was thinking
But I don't know if i'll push that high so I'm good rn
fair!
Why are gem sims so meaningless?
they're usually within margin of error
This sim wants crit, 5mins later vers
you answred your own question lol
i run 4 different ones to max out the meta gem then just 1 on the rest of the slots
You run stam gems too?
Does the weapon slot matter for stat enchants?
Sim it
hell no
so you run 1 haste gem?
Going all 3 stats on both weapons results in double crit or crit/mast for me
i put the haste on too because i sometimes play sin for stuff
so it's not bad on sin
Forgeweave such a fun fight for sub
I think i am just going with crit/mast gems with 1 mast and 1 vers+crit, mast ring and crit/mast for weapons
Lot of banger fights for sub this tier tbh
should be fine. those are minor gains anyway
Guys I notice I'm wasting a ton of CP by procing premeditation and shadow techniques at the same time. Is this avoidable ?

yes it's because coup can refund on all hits
it's a timing issue
Itās so slow it almost feels like youāre delaying into the next gcd
Also, which dungeons are not sub dungeons?
Streets for sure right?
something i wish they would fix, feels very janky
for some reason they decided coup needs to have a 1.2s gcd
streets is a big sub dungeon
so you can't input a builder just before it hits
i don't think sub is bad in any dungeon atm
also is world server down rn?
If streets is a big one then I have no clue which one isnāt good
I feel like streets is the worst
look like
We kinda slam in every other dungeon
i cri
nah i can consistently top in streets usually
friends who are connected shutdown server in 15mn
I knew about coup but it appears it happens after SecTech too ! Makes sense since it's a timing thing too
should be fix after
I've found that as well yes
donno if it's a recent change or just happens rarely
Thatās true but I still feel like itās the worst out of all the dungeons
i think sub is great in every dungeon atm, but it's gonna become weird pretty soon because of the meta forming
No util very sad
But we have big survivability
i think it's good for sub because any place that has a lot of smaller pulls sub does very well in
u think there's any chance either sub or assa is in that meta comp?
because of nimble cap
honestly no
Meta comp is like shammy dk mage
but class balance is good atm
i dont think fdk is even gonna be in meta comp
Assa if they bugfix will be meta
so rogue can fit in current meta comps yes
It had enough damage to compensate for its lack of utility on PTR
Bro FB 4set broke on me today during raid. so fucking annoying to do anything on assa rn
Deserved for sin players
i just don't think you'll see the rank 1 teams running rogue except squish's team
lmao why deserved
Because theyāre not playing sub 
normal u use Secret tech during dance and during dance u store u got symbol during symbol you store 40% of shadow technique, u just have to be carefull with coup de grace because that can Store combo point on each strike and waist cp using builder instead of finish again
+1 this
just wait the finish of the animation
the interesting thing about sub atm is we have the opposite of funnel on bosses
ye he's experiencing it with sectec though
whenever tanks pull in trash into bosses we spam evis and do monster cleave to everything
Idk just delay the Kb Till cb if it Bugs, its not that complicated
Yeah but don't you have to wait for the other shadows to hit too if you're at 5+ ShadowTech stacks ?
Actually I have a mechanics related question. If you do sec tech while moving, does the clones hit your target or is the aoe going to be around where you cast it?
if you have 5stack during your dance and you use coup de grace just wait the end of the animation to get the refund
we're talking about sectech tho
you'll typically be at the end of a shadow dance (and immediately getting it up again - giving you premed) OR be at the start of a shadow dance sending sectec
there is no issue with secret technique
meaning you can't get the refund from sectecs latter hits
ye I've experienced it as well - I just think it's because sectec gcd is actually normal unlike coups
if coups gcd was 1 sec we'd be able to put a builder in as well
Do all coup hits connect if you move away from the target after Pressing it
sim but i made ring
or myth track upgrade angle
why not send gilded?
Yea, Lilly and fully stacked prism for burn š
Yeah looking more carefuly at the log I procced ShadowTech from Backstab and premeditation on top of it, wasn't sectech mb
Yea, only one intermission
or what u can do is press ur symbol one gcd after dance + BS, so premed give you the combo point, then symbol to continu ur dance normally without overcap combo point store in shadow technique and premed.
Im Gilded starved
im like 190 gilded behind
Not on Cap
i have 45 gilded to spend on myth track
i started gearing yesterday properly
done with hc gear
give loot to other people
gotcha
i just need priory neck
so whats the deal with Plexus shield, does this absorbed dmg count towards overall dps? i tried absorbedDamage > 0 and it seems like 1m of my dps got absorbed
I can't find a passive trinke to save my life. I'm on lily and prism rn
Could I please get some help, Iām new to all the logsā¦but all I believe that looks different to others would be a few talents and not doing symbols w/dance???
what am I doing wrong??
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/AkKxnQLFNgjVpWty?fight=41&type=casts&source=1263&view=timeline
i got one from timewalking
The problem is actually proc shadowtech on a generator. It's hard to track though. Does it mean if I'm at 3 combo points i'll proc it at 4 stacks of shadowtech ?
(i miss 4 Myth Track items and thats it)
Don't worry, you get to do 30 keys in about 5 weeks time when .5 launches
if only it procced more than once every 1.75 min
because it's basically guaranteed to proc during opener
yeah
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
1.5 min proc would be gaming
I saw that suggestion
and myth legs last week
I approve
maybe what I need is a discord boost or whatever it's called
I guess I'll run ragnaros once servers are back up
they'll come back right?
Briefly looking, you arenāt running cold blood, which is kind of busted on our spec. As well I saw your secret technique sent before shadow blades for you second use of blades.

Servers are back up in case anyone was wondering
*beta servers are back up
Sorry mate, are you saying that blades is used after second sec tech??
Nope
not a bad idea if you want to pad it up
idk i tried rotten and finality
we're pretty good at vacuuming up trash damage this tier
i didnt play around either
idk if youre supposed to
so its better to run cold blood compared to tea in m+?
probably pref
no, run tea in m+ if you need to ask
Rogue is afk the game this season
you're not
should i use shadow blades after ST?
i use it before
Thanks, not trying to optimalize. just doing some chill +10s
Same time, make sure its up when ST hits
you used to press it after because ST didn't get buffed by shadow blades
did they fix shadow blades interaction
but now it does
There's still the argument that the later hits of SecTechs are the beef of its damage and it gains you a gcd inside SB to use it before
But pretty sure it's marginal gains if any
so either you press it just before the shadow hits of sectec hit or send it before the first hit
Thanks
just be wary of desyncing if you do shadow blades after
haste dagger from rag 
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/BYc43nVxq8wdXJ7h?fight=4&type=resources&source=2&view=events&spell=104
Here's the part I don't understand @limpid sage at 0:17 he uses SecTech and then overcaps with premeditation but the event log doesn't say that he generated with shadow tech
!guide
that does look weird
Why does the Method guide have shuriken tornado in the M+ build ?
!coup
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.
!mistakes
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.
its personal preference
you can tab or mouse oer
or not spread at all
it depends if mobs grouped
I think it's because he had premed up (can't proc ShT refund) -> uses Shadowstrike proccing Premed -> Premed now gone so sectec can proc ShT with latter hits
idk how huge of a damage gain it is
good for downtime when no cds
u spread
for dps
or when a trash group is being grouped u can just rupture
details is bad for actually checking damage events no?
these details screenshots are omega useless imo
details screenshots are the brainrot of wow
lol
I get people who DM me their just damage meter and be like did i do good
who im teaching havoc
ALSO it seems like Premed first procs 33 ms after Shadowstrike, which might mean that it consumes the buff first and then gives the cp - but in that window secret technique hit in between leading to some janky stuff
EU is back up
purely speculative though xd
I don't even read my own logs as in-depth as Zak reviews lorrgs stuff
940 ms?
30
I can finally return to my very pressing tasks of the day: sitting on my rock idle while I play silksong
@tranquil sorrel how did you do?
how long did you play so far, also how is your experience so far?
Only a few hours. It's excellent. Everything that made Hollow Knight an instant classic is here. But just.. better. More refined, more detailed.
nice
The music is superb, the art is just absolutely stellar. It has more depth and detail. The combat refinements are good.
They spent 7 years making the game they wanted to make and it shows, and that's good
Yeah
which is rare in the industry
I'm a big fan of developers being paid more to work less to make stuff they love
Ye, different people work differently. But in an ideal world it should be about making the project you wanna make
e.g. hollow knight was not the most inovative roguelike, but it was a very distinct and well put together one in a time most of them lacked in at least one area
Well, it's not a roguelike.
I've only played the Ori series - can you recommend?
Absolutely
I'd recommend gettign the OG game, Hollow Knight and playing it first.
It's one of the best Metroidvania's ever made, up there with Ori.
and Silksong is just That But Betterer
metroidvenia? i haven't kept up with the genre naming shananigans as it makes no sense
metroidvanias are basically sidescrollers with non-linear progression
Yeah, Metroidvania. Games that are exploration focused with backtracking and secrets.
It's a bit of an archaic term these days since we've not had a Castlevania like SoTN in a long time but it fits the mold.
Map exploration, non-linear progression. Blocks and walls requiring items to come back to attain. Typically RPG-lite rather than heavy
i mean the term roguelike makes no sense too
Well, it's a game that is like rogue.
both just vaguely define a framework with no clear definition
In the early 1980s, a computer game emerged that changed the world of fantasy gaming forever. Randomly generated rooms meant that each journey into the infamous Dungeons of Doom was unique. The potent combination of random generation with perma-death proved to be intoxicating, and the game was so influential it spawned an entire genre: "Rogue-ā¦
$2.99
450
but roguelikes are... mostly not like rogue
True š
and then there is roguelite
I feel like the term has become very, very broad
its like
Whereas Metroidvania's are pretty niche. There's a handful.
if i would say jump and runs are defined by
you need to restart at level 1-1 every time you die
because it was the main definition back then
Mario is a roguelike, it's true
and you can't backtrack
so
modern mario games
you can go back too
or don't restart 1-1
are not jump and runs anymore
so i introduce a new term
jump and run lite
or sth
is there still a log review chanel/ threads?
just type !log
neverless, enough rambling about the vague definition and naming shananigans
fuu, do you know if the preserving rotten stacks optimization for shadowstrike used symbols right after or waited till start of next gcd?
why do i have 108 % mastery on subt spec ?
only optimization that makes a diffrence is to use blades after your first builder in dance
oh so sectec into blades just before latter part hits is actually an optimization?
I thought it was neutral
!log
if you secret first gcd thats fine to blades
but e.g. in the opener
you backstab-secret-blades
how much of a diff is it?
If I have trinket macrod to blades ig I send it right before sectech?
think it does not matter in the end. it might be better to just use the baseline genres for definitions.
What matters is, metroid, castlevania, bomberman, mario, ori and hollow knight are all great games worth plaing ^^
nuce
yippie
speed
how bad is it to only use a backstep+shadowstrike macro with stealth modifier?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
no need to solo darkflame cleft anymore
i usually farmed it by pickpocketing there
only the image
is this a big damage loss?
Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
this too
Some1 was cooking here yesterday someting bout a macro with /use shadowstrike and/use evis so u dont waste refunds or sum
so you can backstab in dance by using your dance key
Did it work
is it still fine if i dont use that tho?
its not big diffrence
what exactly do you search for
the nerf make it easier to replace
a heroic version should be enough to get rid of it
I just wanna know what disc power to use for it in m+ and raid st
the nerf only comes into the game in like a month tho right
best is to sim, because it can be gear dependent
If you have coups up going into cd, you still sec tech first after flag or is it use up coups and then sec tech to resume sequencing?
any combination of crit/vers/mastery can be better
wouldn't that force you to shadow dance at low combo
ok thank you
cause I often need to spend before I proc premed
no because the backstab cast is only on 2nd macro press
in aoe and compared to 707 belts the disc still wins for me
so you can control it
secret has highest prio
Oh I get it
@short radish listening to yoda go in great detail about how broken arcane is gives me great validation
i played with some guildies
What are the main powers being used for disc belts? my sim is gonna take a while
and the fact that we run out of shadow dance/symbols due to cdr/cd's
dont need absolute bis just a good baseline
is lily and prism much better than signet and lily? assuming mastery is highest stat
which other classes don't while providing similar or higher damage
you absolutely want prism. Lily is whatever
means subtlety still isn't the ultimate golden bullet spec
err sorry i mean signet and prism
but prism and smart pulling can help
i just find it a bit annoying how you can brick your cds if you use too much dance+symbols
yeah sub pairs very well with specs that do steady dmg
e.g. a balance druid will whipe the floor with you in aoe if its not burst aoe
a dh/mage is not as fragil and does very similar output
havoc and arcane are def meta specs atm
i am not saying sub is bad, but its numerical still not insane
and only in the meta because we can abuse netherprism
anyone know if the rep from delves is on a weekly lockout or you can get multiple if you haven't gotten it the other weeks?
the 1250 k'aresh thingy
sub is in a good spot for sure
yes it's on weekly lockout
:(
it'll roll which rep it gives you at the end, and if you've earned that rep for the week it just won't give you rep
something like that
I didn't know till this week
prob to prevent people from just getting lucky and fasttracking renown on rng
i hit 19 this week š
is the macro in !macros the best way to use lily and prism together
was wondering if it'd work since lily is 1:30
best use of prism is on a seperate key
because you sometimes want to stack to 18
!prism
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.
lily is pretty bad to use with prism
but if you only use prism as an on use, its perfectly fine to just macro with blades
better off using a passive in the lily slot i think
just trying to get more juice in soul hunters fight
looks like most sub rogues are running 2 on use
Any of you farmed the augment rune toy yet
yes
š©
Because of the movement antenna is worse than forge
But lily is not really a very good Alternative to forge
you turn lily into a 3 min trink
Lily + Prism sims higher than Pacemaker Prism for me
Not by much tho but still works out
interesting
its 100k im broke now
had to buy it twice
my druid needed one too
this is my forge heroic sim, compared to 723 lily and heroic prism
upgrading a lilly to 723 is something
I mean ye myth track maxed lily vs hc forge is just a numbers Adventage because of the ilvl
On an even field forge would be better
Just trust sim on that one ig and use lily how scath said
Itās not a bad option. Just not ābisā
In keys youāre just farming 18 stacks so 
don't spawn kyveza in mycomancer cavern while in the water
must have been fun
def was
used flag and she swam away downwards
then teleported back up when I didn't have flag
i like when bran is having agro when he starts moving zig-zag behind my back
is there anything good that drops from delves
yes rings
so you just lost the pvp match. unfortunate
that aren't haste
Anyone recall what the macro would be for double on use forge+prism? if you do /use 13 and then /use 14 it should sync right ?
!macros
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.
she outspaced me hard
maybe you should hold your cds until you have stunlock
truly a skill issue
Got complimented by an arcane mage after I gapped him by 3m dps in flood gate. This state of sub is doing great things for my ego
But yeah it does feel bad when flag comes up with the pack half way dead
And you know if you send you dont get full use of cds
yea it is funny
But if you don't send you just double dance and sit on flag for 40 second
with prism + ritual forge is the actual play in first cds to use prism so in the 2 rotation of cds you have max prism stacks, or should ritual forge be first use and then on the next set use prism with "suboptimal" stacks?
first forge
@short radish so what's the play in that situation? which is less bad?
Are you playing for your damage numbers or timing the key
you want to have cds for next pack
Tbh even that's not a right answer
I'm guessing you send flag to time keys and hold for bigger ego
Holding sometimes is right i feel
depends on travel time and other things
Depends if your other party is sending
yea, I also run into situations like that and I wasn't sure. My compromise is to send flag without prism
Because you just more stacks on prism as well
but also if pack is going to be stragglers tank should just chain
In keys I almost never hold
Yeah theres no definite answer
Just send it guys
Usually its always send though
you have to be there kinda to make the decision
sometimes i send other times i dont
Can you even do log review to see if you made the right call afterwards though?
I feel it's kind of hard with keys
Hold 30 seconds 3 times and that's one usage lost
Exactly
Just fking send it, if unsure
Also packs dying faster generally is good overall
you guys also sending it as sub on all keys btw? I kind of don't like the ds 4set so I haven't touched much sin after getting 4p
I played both and I just like sub more
yea, I went on holiday and just came back last week
Itās pure preference for most people
But Im not a p*sher
yea, sub feels fine for your vault keys for sure
If you get to really high keys you surely can argue
But if you only do like 12-13 ish
I'm not playing sin again this season
Sub is fine
It was nice to snipe bunch of trash as sin last tier though

but my fingers hurt after too many sub keys reee
Sub all the way
Nah man you have downtime to rest your fingers
For raid I would just love a tiny bit more st
Sub is the ultimate chill spec
I just rebound my shift+q key and it has been helping already
The spec and trickster are fun to me
Best iteration of sub I've played since I came back in shadowlands
is it correct that for dungeon slice the raid build sims better for me?
Bring back death from above
for raiding yea, but for keys I feel we don't really get much downtime as sub
Doesn't matter, they're all so similar anyway
Have you ever tried outlaw
aight
As long as you have replicating shadows
And even then it's kinda whatever
no, but I did do one boss as fury and decided it wasn't for me. I have a feeling it would be a similar story for outlaw
My wrist is still recovering from the first half of s1
I thought S1 was mostly sub +assa tier?
I might give it a shot once I can craft weapon in .5 or something
or maybe not if I value my wrist health
!backstab
Backstab/Shadow Dance/Tea Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance /castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, nullThis will cast Shadow Dance and Tea(if talented) on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
why cant i just sim weapon ench? i have both weaps selected and want to simm all the ench? what am i missing ehre?
Is there a way to know when coup gives the delayed combo points?
Replace enchants tick box
lol, tyvm
wait, can we still see other ppls astral antenna orbs?
it would be fun if we can see and collect other peoples orbs
or phase right through and get no buffs
duality of men
Is sub still as annoying to play as back in df?
No
if i am doing my rotation well, and i save symbols and dance around 20 second before flag comes back, are there certian times i send naked secret techs without dance or symbol? (eg 20~25 seconds before flag/shadow blade comes back up)
my raid build is without replicating and this build + swapping my weapons is like 3% more dps lol
@earnest canyon when you do one dance between cds there is a window where you can symbols + sectec without dance and without losing anything for the cd window
so if i do everything perectly, there should be no naked secret techs right
You could send dry SecTec but that it not recommended, it is like 30s until flag and you know you will have 100% uptime
guys
archon used to have a dungeon ease tier list
but I can't find it anymore
it's still there right
no naked sectec, sectec only with symbols
Yea then as Amber said, kinda after every 2nd major CDs you have 1 symbol only SecTec
@vale pine is dungeon slice a good thing? or patchwerk for raid and m+?
dslice is good
for gearing, yes
for talents, you often want to spezialise more on cleave or single target so its not always the best option
!wa
should i ever bother sending sectec naked?
any1 know if the crafted fibers get destroyed if u change it?
They do not
You can just right(?) click the fiber in the item window and it pops out
