bois i quit assa.
with 2 on use (netherpirsm and something)
Do you send netherprism every flag or every other flag?
!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.
okok so if u got Araz trinket ig you just send on any shadow dance/where you need dmg
netherprism and araz dont share 30sec cd?
mb didnt see the 2x on use part
alternate using them in blades
forge -> prism -> forge -> prism
Ye[p
ait boss mans. ty
Thank you, I will work on it. Really appreciate it!
Anyone got a good coup wa?
np bossman gl out there
What is the spell, which gives me back all CP even after using all of them before on a finisher?
Might be a silly question but On forgeboy Araz, if we setup and hit sectec before the amp but the two clones hit after the amp, they’re still amp buffed right? Or is it based on the initial hit
Trying to figure out how early to begin setting up that window to get a second sectec in
finality is one of the few damage amps that snapshots
you can assume subtlety damage amps to not snapshot
Cool ty
you alternate between them
lilly -> prism -> lilly -> prism
ok fine fuu ill do that
what should i buy 2nd trinket to then
trinket is usually x
shift x is potion tho
my dslice wants me to use poopmaker trinket but im TIRED of not having a true on use trinket on first pull
holy my shift-x is potion too
HOLY
!wa
Macro lily into your sblades and make prism your x key
Press prism before sblades
that kinda sounds like text charrend
Problem solved
Nop
lily prism is just bad
lily so icky
it might be bad but wanna know whats worse
first pull gambit with 1 stack of your prism
I have soleahs from hm and it sims 10k higher as versa than pacemaker
but think about all the pulls after!
Freed
and you can still do 30M with 1stack prism
yes but imagine more than that
Straight up first pull gambit is all pad
details dmg meter is what matters
when can i play outlaw
!wa
Find a good brew

!macro
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.
!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.
we're changing forgeweaver strat to move adds behind the portal 😩
ranged just nuking them before i can hit
can rogue immune hunt on soul hunters ? with evade or cloak ?
cloak
in aoe should i use SS in between coup outside of shadowblades in dance or shadowtrike?
shadowstrike, only storm in blades
or in aoe
in aoe you can storm outside of blades as well if it gives you max combo points (similar thing only once per dance ever tho)
you can do it as well over shadowstrike
im talking aoe
4 targets or higher
yea this toon is m+ only, so trying to figure out the m+ nuances
when shadowblades comes up and a pack is at like 30%(wont live through a full shadowblades) is it alright to send a symbols/dance as long as it doesnt fuck up your shadowblades on the next pack?
Define 30%
yea i put a preface in it
100m hp? Or 400m hp?
!gear
Because if a pack wont live through sblades but you get 10+ seconds of it
Its still wprth sending
on araz if your second soak do you dance the next 2 add sets?
So that pack doesnt take 25 seconds
Your overall will.suffer
But the key will.go faster
thats why i was saying throw a dance/symbols and then get full value with sblades on the next pack
ok but if i look worse on details its not worth
question. after the opener sequence and flag is back up. do i send it with rup again even if its max on the target?
if coup is up what do i send it on after? sec?
@plush roost
Destiny
can do straight flag dance symbols sectec blades yes
thank you!
so just want to make sure - when you guys are simming for crafted gear (im thinking of making a ring)
are you guys using dungeon slice?
or using 1 target patchwerk?
I usually check both
ah got it
I just send dungeon slice
You might think "Why, isn't it better to sim both?" and you'd be right but typically at this point in a season I forget to swap my M+ spec to raid spec half the time so I'm just being sensible.
plus raid and m+ talents can be very close
I just like checking both contexts to get an idea
dungeon slice is also intended to include a good amount of single target to accurately represent a m+ dungeon
arguably too much st in a lot of cases
i remember someone posting them but i cannot find them rn
Ye
anyone else encountering issue where secret technique + cold blood macro just breaks only in raid?

When i am in my shadow dance on 4 or more targets is it more optimal to throw an eviserate out as my 2nd finisher and then spam black powder for the rest of the duration? or is it just best to always press black powder. I ask because I am unsure of how much danse Macabre actually matters in aoe
which mini boss?
the one before the last boss
that heals from the adds
Ooh gotcha.. ty ty
Does anyone know why my cold blood and secret technique macro doesn't work, IK got it from the wowhead paghe. It seems to prioritise Secret Technique everyttime

hey when do i use shiv as sub? Playing CB but i dont see where shiv is used in the guide at all
it's used for utility if you need a soothe or big slow, that's kinda it
we don't use it in our normal rotation
if you want to dispell enrage
shiv is only a rotational button on assassiantion
oh ok cool thank you!
on Araz M, for the arcane obliteration (big soak), are you supposed to cloak before or after the soak to get rid of the healing absorb?
what slot should i go for embelish?
You'd want to cloak 1 sec before the cast finishes, the first second of cloak has a sort of super immunity
And you get no heal absorb
Howdy friends. Is there an energy sweet spot to have before the mini cooldown Dance+Symbols+ST outside of 90 second cooldowns?
Does any ability during dance apply FW? Or only like shadow strike?
!st
you dont optimize for DM
Dm?
danse macabre
You can use like 1 global for DM stacks. Typically it's a backstab with premed or a shuriken storm between coups to not munch procs
It just so lines up that those globals grant DM and are good for other reasons
so, when you go into SB/Flag window with a coup ready do we ignore the coup and go with SecTec first on dance or do we do two coups then delay teh SecTec? The second one is weird with the timings for the second dance and so on
would it make sense to go 2 target rupture for soul hunters mythic?
you sectec first usually because you dont get the stacks if the target isn't fazed
it does yes

i was literally just about to ask about this
was so confused why it wasn't on my WA and could only use it manually from spellbook
is this only assa fate or also outlaw fate?
how does one use tornado appropriately
why is the sim evicerating in the opening before going into cooldowns
Outlaw doesn’t take the CB point in fate tree so unlikely you’d run into it as outlaw
true
How we open on Dimensius?
I assume if you did then you’d get the bug
yo let me guess real quick.
If no netherprism, double on use kinda dog?
Yeah
ait so lily + azog dog nice
Anyone able to answer this?
I mean depends on your definition of dog
me no use = dog xd
But the idea is you can save netherprism for 3m then juice the blades/flag in between as well
we dont pool generally except 20s before big cds but thats to farm sht and coup
i mean sims says dont do it. but im betting sim would say dont use azog + netherprism
(default sim no funky wonky change things)
wtf xD
araz my bad
Thank you
On mini cds during aoe (M+) I've started to consistently go into them with max combo points and start with sod > sec tec > coup > shuriken storm (premed) > coup. Can switch storm and coup 1 around depending on status of SHT stacks
wrist
Probably nobody else doing add damage
Just wait
Hands aren’t super high value
Your prio should be weapons (mh), trinkets, chest/pants/helm
cant really do much there without wasting crests
if i use lily and prism with the shadow blades macro with both in there
would that work?
or do i need to use one manually?
Drop the radiant power for a secondary stat enchant

when should i be running inevitability and the rotten instead of finality?
is there like a reason to why i should be running those 2 instead of that
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
No you generally can’t use two on-use trinkets at the same time, it will incur a 20 second cooldown on the second one
!def
Rogue Defensive Spreadsheet: > Click to open <
thats not what i meant
with forge and prism you can use the same macro as forge is used first in macro and will be on cd / force prism cd anyway
What debuffs should we consistently track?
did anyone here soak pillars at Loom
probably
basically no damage gain
Oh right. I think it wouldn’t work since the usual cd for prism is short it would end up just using that at low stacks
Ye as long as you dont end up delaying your cds, then it can be a bit cursed
you can't because they are both ready at 90s, it would always use the first one in the macro
It would use araz once first then prism at low stacks from then on
so all the lily prism players have seperate keybinds then
sadge
no it would alternate forge and prism
Yeah I just rethought that
Yeah it would as long as you’re not delaying as eleem says
even delay would be fine as forge is first in macro
hm true
Not sure why you’d use lily and nether prism, how would you be managing them at 3m, just not sending lily or desyncing it by sending on a non-blades dance/sod?
but like if i delay cds there is reason and then i use again with one of the strong trinkets anyway right?
what time does prism need for full stacks?
I mean that’s probably not hugely worse then a decent passive I guess
3min
1 stack every 10s up to 18
Lily + Prism outsims everything except forge/antenna + prism for me
ye but using lily + prism is annoying
if i can use both trinkets with only 1 macro i am fine
meh not really you just bind prism and macro lily to cd's, press prism before cd's when you want to use it
can someone tell me why is my damage so low my breakdown looks good??
we cant see your damage
for what key
db
what key level

im assa main but been playing some sub and cant figure out why im doing no damage
you reckon wowanalyser can help or

do we do this to save coup in dance?

this sounds cursed
i will move that to "when i play the spec a bit better" teritory
this is spec baseline info
Also wont the shadow techniques stacks go away when I use backstab?
you do absolutely zero dmg outside of CDs
Robot became crazy
they are sitting on 7 cp, sht stacks stay
They only go away if they can actually fill your cp bar
If you are at 7 cp and press backstab they wont get wasted
Oh robot spammed bs at 7 cp to not waste energy?
in the image you can see the buffs on the right, one of them is shadow techniques
oh yeah I just tested it if there are 7 stacks they dont go away
it backstabs a couple times until 7cp, procs unseen blade which prepares a coup, and it decides to not burn the coup until next CDs
this can literally last ~30 seconds
but let's say it has 0 stacks do I just stop pressing anything?
uhh not sure I understand your question. but I'm guessing the answer to whatever you're asking is no
on wcl please
and also didnt see this
sorry
basically
there is just no reason to burn resources that you could save for the burst
read the guide honestly. you need to get the burst correct. It's kinda of correct but also pretty incorrect . You don't use dance/symbols before flag, you don't pop potion on pull (i'm assuming this was accident). There seems to be random eviserates at the start. sectec isn't being used with symbols, there's no storms between coups, there's more symbols without sectec. on 2nd burst you just go from flag straight into sectec.
!guide
get rid of haste shoulders too
hi guys pls i want to know how many target i use black pouder and eviserate in m^y burst or out of my burst
!aoe
- Always cast Coup de Grace when it is ready, regardless of target count.
- Black powder instead of regular Eviscerate at 4 or more targets (there is no other secret rule).
- At ALL target counts use Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance, not Shuriken Storm.
im my shadow dance i always use shadowstrike even if dont dont build all my combo point?
sometime shadow strike give you 4 or 5 combo point for example
guys hi I recently switched to sub from outlaw. in wowhead guide it says shuriken storm spreads rupture, how?
Ruptures each mob
does tornado feel difficult to use for anyone else as well?
lol I got confused thanks for the explanaion 😛

I feel like I'm going crazy here, I haven't play'ed rogue in a few years but tricks of the trade is just click the ability and select a player in your party right?
It just flashes when I click it and I cant apply it to a party member
If you’re playing trickster, the application to selected party member only applies after you hit something
oh thats it then
Due to hero talent
should it go on CD before Im in combat though?
Yeah its a bit unintuitive, you’re not the only one
You want to use it less than 30 seconds before you plan to hit something then you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of the key (or hour in raid if you’re taking tricks)
yeah it just doesnt actually engage
should finishers only be used at 6+ combo points? i know on outlaw some say 5+ is fine
6+
ok ty
the main problem is it doesnt work on ppl who are mounted, and tanks being the premadonnas that they are, won't allow you to tricks them before the key starts
Are you trying to use it with that macro? I never have issues just having it a @mouseover on raid frames
if you're lucky you can catch tanks unmounted as the pull timer hits 0
for the backstab spam would u say about 15 seconds before flag is up just use backstab and save up energy/7 combo points
10
it might be the macro
ty
as i do have one
for auto trivks
but i swear i tried normal tricks and still functioned weird
it didnt just instantly go on the tank for 1 hour
you have to select party member for that to work
the macro helps
but its still aids if tank is mounted before the key starts
No, it doesn’t just apply. You need to cast on the tank and then hit something for the 1hr buff to trigger
ara is a pain for that reason
ohhh okay
it sounds like just spamming tricks before every pull works if mounting stops it and i brainfart and think tricks is up and i get agro
you take the talent to make it last 1hr
This may have been asked before but why isnt it recommended to macro symbols/dance?
after that we dont have to press it again?
do not take the other one not worth
Die, tricks buff gone, pull agro and die again 😂
Yeah you’re right sorry, it’s only if you die
so
1 hr tricks works even if ur tanj is mounted
i was in 14 streets the other day and the tank died before mail boss
If you cast tricks before they mounted then tricks works if they mount later yes
he spawned far away and the mobs proceeded to run to him, halfway across the dungeon pulling everything in their way
ohh ok
You just can’t cast it originally on a mounted target
Im just hitting the tricks button and clicking the party member or even the party frame in combat
nothing
And that includes pally horse sprint 😩
I haven't ever tricksed someone outside of a dungeon/raid
Again, you need to hit something after that cast to apply the 1hr buff

Hii can someone help me with reading a log? I dont really understand what am I doing wrong. First season as subtlety
!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.
7 should be another coup tbh
when should I ever use shuriken storm?
is it worth dotting as many targets as possible with rupture outside of CDs or is there a point where you'd rather not? (assuming there isn't a prio target to slam with eviscerate)
In aoe, or between coups either with blades up or 4+ targets
Typically worth to maintain on targets that live 10+sec
thx

Oh good call
Its like that + the weekly rare kill + the ecodome events + the lore books

its an hour long transformation lasts through death
turns you into bran
saying all his lines
Why can’t glamours be like that
Wait how long is the cd
Big wish is glamours that have a cd that matches duration
Need help, i ve crafted 2 weapons for outlaw but now wanna try some sub, i can put 720 sword in off hand? seems like i can play like that but idk if its kinda efficient or there is some passive, dont have any other dagger higher than 704 for off hand
1h
sword offhand is bad
also so is crafting a second wep for outlaw
what the
Man why’s this shitass toy get a duration/cd that makes sense but nothing else does
!oh
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
I still have 1 left for craft ima make the dagger 720 and maybe 704 off hand still worthier?
Toy should make it where if you fuck up like this it Branns you in raid/keys lol
i mean a second sword even for outlaw isnt worth
Or if you butt-pull packs or shoot things across the room
yeah but its kinda late haha
outlaw is sword/dagger
real
bran does more dps than most pugs i see
yeah i understand but didnt know that and crafted both sword
Yeah you cant use a sword for sub
Guys just wondering, the choice between ephemeral bond and exhilarating execution is purely personal or am i missing something?
execution better in keys, arguably better in raid for some scenarios
can take bond to be safe in raid

hello guys i think there is problm in my AOE rotation can u check it plz ?
shadowstrike rupture shadow dance symbol death flagel with blade CD macro
shadow technique then black powder / shadowstrike.....
You don’t want to macro flag and blades, you want to send blades a bit later
ah ? why this ?

- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this

- 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.
A better question is why would you think its proper to macro blades and flag
cause 1.5min each and i guess they match well together ?
i see many sub going to 20/30M dps i cant far than 12 max
sure ive a fking 665 dagguer cause i was outlaw^^ but i know something going wrong in my gameplay
I mean a 665 dagger is definitely a big part of that gap
But to answer your earlier question, you want blades to cover the mastery buff from flag when it’s stacked higher
You wouldnt want to press that until its somewhat ramped to not waste shadow blades
And also i think it covers your second sectec that way and may not if you send it with flag?
ive time for 2 sectec during my "macro"
when do you think i can press on blade then ?
and we are ok 3+ targets its only B powder ?
i saw many guides but they cant say the same thing
You press blades/racial/potion right before secret technique
There is a very good timeline shown in a picture in the wowhead guide
all right will check this timeline
85% of your damage in cds getting stuff inside that wrong is a larger dps loss than with other specs
yeah i can understand this
shadowblade vey hight comparing to me
That probably indicates it’s being saved for larger pulls in general or perhaps being used with prism and you don’t have one, but yeah that’s way higher than mine too
But I’m a pvp trinket gamer because prism eludes my entire guild
Prism is great and all but i miss having trinket for 1st pulls
I think in DB at least you get good value from second pull
But for like a FG or Halls or Gambit it’s a bit sad
That’s where double on use comes in I suppose
Nah
Its just not good in keys
Too much passive stat loss
If prism had passive we'd pop it on the 1st ludt pull and it wouldnt look different
Plus double on use 🤢
Cursed stone idol is a better double on use in keys than forge or at least thats my instant reaction to looking at it
18k stat in cds and you dont lose the passive outside of it
What are you doing every 3min then with prism use?
Hol up does prism not get the cd trigger by other on use
Hello got a question ,why do we use backstab in the beginning of our opener when shadow dance is active ?
Prism gets cd'd by other on ise, yes
So what I mean is
For pre meditation and danse macabre
Nothing
Just not sending it all that round?
Yeah right that’s what I thought
Yeah
Its like this
You can have 23k stat for 30 seconds every 1.5 minutes or 8k stat permanently
And w/e else the trinket does
Is Sub the better spec to be playing this tier?
on some bosses
Yeah I get that math, just been getting confused by a few people talking about using prism and another 1.5m on use and I’m like what why
For raid its fine yes
Forge needs to be slammed into something important to get value
Managing Deathstalker mark in this raid seems awful
23k stat is a lot when it gets 50% value increase
its really not
was fine on nexus king before mythic
but sub just has better damage profile for that
Cursed stone idol seems kinda lit
Its only 25% worse than forge in cds for duration of blades
dont you have to be in stealth for premeditation?
Its worse for 3 dance though
tbh on hc i only swapped from ds assa because our push timings made 2min cd on nexus king bad
so if not in flag or shadowblade burst window, but only dance and symbol, use backstab once for the danse buff right
You follow the wowhead illustration on how to do the opener
Subsequent dances/symbols follow the same general rules
also gotta love killing someone 100-0 in a cheap right outside dawnbreaker
Which is symbols/dance -> stab (if not full cp) -> sectec -> strike -> finisher
then goblin gliding away from the guards
None, it just makes it easier to get CDs for the burn
U can do it without but its a lot tighter
U need to fly very fast and flag instantly
Otherwise ur gonna be 2 seconds or so late
wait theres dragonriding on mythic nexus?
For nexus I'm pretty sure it does literally nothing lol

It makes it easier to CD the 2nd time in the fight ig?
i just wanted to confirm that you backstab in that situation only for danse and not premeditation in his question, since any opener will give full cps
We dont really micro manage danse, but it is coincidentally done for that reason
If you have cp youre not gonna waste a gcd of a dance on a builder
Stab is also fw generator so there's that too ig
icic. so even without flag / shadow blades up, we still backstab once during shadoe dance correct?
Sometimes yes
Meow
in what situations would we not backstab during shadowdance (but no flag and blades) just wondering
ive made it into muscle memory to always backstab during any kind of dance(naked or with other cds), wondering if its wrong or not
Backstab should always be your first generator
Fringe scenarios though are like, in aoe its a wash
and when the target doesn't have FW, it's bad to do
But both are fairly fringe
Its give u 6% dmg.Always press 🙂
Fairly sure the gcd isnt worth the DM stack if its done strictly for that reason

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.
correct
The reason i wasnt giving a concrete answer was because people hear danse macabre and then press random buttons to get it higher
Sub has a lot of if/and/or stuff for things you do
if we get back Sec Tech in our first shadowdance in flag/blades, can we send symbols + sech tech + CB with the 7 stacks of dance macabre?
even if we are still in our extended first dance?
or send Sech Tech + CB in the second dance window in fl;ag blades
We have a robot to tell us whats best
Afaik it hasn't said to optimize for it
I think shiv is only a slight loss
Yeah thats fine, theres no ramp for flag going on, youre in blades and if 2nd sectec is up go for it
Have you messed around with cursed stone idol as 2nd on use in keys at all?
whats the dmg diff between instant and wounding posion
do i run it in like gambit first pool
It’s going to be better 100% of the time if you plan to ignore fish sticks, not for personal damage though. Although maybe having a big pull alive for longer lets you do more damage too so
it seems like instant do that much anyways
in one whole dungeon it did like 50mil for me
unless it enhances something else as well
nop
Yeah you’d save more than 50m healing in that first pull alone with wound
*if ignoring fishdicks
Reason i ask is because it seems kinda good on paper. It has passive agi + frontloaded large amount of crit which is our best simming stat in most builds atm
W/e 1.5mil damage is worth as well
- you get to 18 stack prism on the pull after
You lose 3.6k crit on burst only sometimes without pacemaker
the forbidden secret technique
Its probs alright in keys but, gonna be not easy to get a mythic one
Theres extra value that we get to condense our "passive" trinket into whatever mob
Much easier to just get mythic trinkets yk
So its more prio too
Well im wondering if its just straight better than PM which is slightlt worse than antenna
i played with a hc one for a bit before i got prism araz and it felt terrible lol its on gcd + a 1sec cast
finally we have a reason to use shuriken toss
is symbols of death's cp charges unlimited duration?
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
then what's stopping me from using all 3 before the key start
The 10.7k stat you are gaining from it is worth more point for point than agi would be as well
Can you channel idol and stab at same time?
does it include keys tho?
doesn't idol incur a gcd?
Cant do shit while channeling

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yes
Outside of blades
Why would you use it during dance window
Its fne to use during regular dances, but it doesnt really matter
Best use of it is to apply ruptures before your burst with it
Generate the cp for the ruptures that is
yeah used to be nado into dance -> 4xbp
is there an option on why finality and BP doesnt show in Devlin pack?
only rupture finality shows
Probs because finality rupture snapshots
And you’d make decisions around that vs finality BP/evisc where you don’t
Even though you don’t really
For ruptures
so is there a reason to even show it?
You don’t need to track it

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.
!aoe
- Always cast Coup de Grace when it is ready, regardless of target count.
- Black powder instead of regular Eviscerate at 4 or more targets (there is no other secret rule).
- At ALL target counts use Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance, not Shuriken Storm.
for M forgeweaver prog (doing 2 collector phases) is it better to slam flag on cd (so on 2nd collector) to get it back for last phase or is it better to hold for 2nd amp
usually people hold cds on collectors to flag boss
as you wont get one in last phase
as it lasts less than 1 min
yes there are options, in custom options:
Why do you want to shuriken storm between coup de grace?

Thank you1
np
you guys know a solution that warns me of the stored combo points when I can use 2 finishers in a row?
maybe an audio clue, i prefer visual clue
!wa
the shadowcraft refund sound wa there
should be what you're looking for
think it also has a little icon pop up but not sure, i dont use it myself
is that what randomly gives me full cp after finisher?
the weird delay on that is really annoying
hmm from logs i see you can slam one on collector and get one on last phase
Do we just want to storm if we dont have cp between coup or even with full cp storm for danse stack?

you actually hold a bit on collectors for people to get their 2 minutes up
for burn
so depends on your raid dps
since we are progging the boss dam is quite low, we made it to last phase with everyone alive once and still have 8% to go when we all died
if they can keep people off the one you are in and send them elsewhere
then that is fine to send on collecor
hmm yeah makes sense
i guess if boss dam is too high and the 2nd burn is short i should be sending on 2nd collector
but not in my case
!gear
i still dont understand why we use CB on 2nd sectec
cause 2nd sec tech is stronger than the first one
why? how?
is it only bcs flawless form stacks from last sectec?
Full flag stacks, more flawless form stacks
yea, it used to winning streak too
i got it
thanks
and one more thing in aoe
should i spread find weakness with the rotten?
or i can ignore it?
since its 30% armor reduction + 30% BP / evis dmg
You can ignore it
Some ignore it, others don't
Chaos simms more
Yesterday I killed with pub nexus king on hc
4m dps as 708 ilvl arond 30th parse
I have forge and prism
When I use blades and prism if this fight Takes like 7min
On pull forge> wait to 2m with cds to forge again (I dont use peism here because I want to habe it on damage amp) >prism damage amp> forge
versa flask is better for keys
Someone knows how to use cds that fight if it takes around 6-7min
you don't have cds for the adds when you delay
very debatable ur vers capped anyways + the effect from chaos with tempered potions

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wyZc2Ua6drFsETeNj1cnGS
16k dps diff is worth having more tankiness in keys imo
ofc this is with my stats
3.6% it seems
so 1.8% less dmg taken for 16k dps diff
well its less aoe damage
Im capped on both stats atm sooo
without (r2) vers flask and with r2 vers flask
Thats way too low vers no?
im probably not at ideal stats at 710 idk
i got both at 20k
~15k crit ~17k mast ~15k vers and 1800 haste
around the same relative diff as on single target
for me at least
I have around 6k crit unfortunately but i do have antenna
same
its slightly under 2% dr for me as well
i sold the first boss ring 
stuck on sub 20%
i always think of this gif when stat amounts are talked about
need more haste
di
men
si
us 
idk about that
20ilvl with haste on it is only 20k better
i had 681 and 704 was like 20k better only because of haste
was wild
daddy dimmy
has anyone here replaced disc belt yet?
🙋♂️
1%
Yea for the mythic belt from first boss
unless they buffed it while I wasn't looking
Can someone tell me how to improve, main points
you send crests into that one?
Today we run it with guild i wanna parse
Nope not yet
And what should I expected max to deal dps wise if played correcgly
that is such an ass racial
idk i was gearing outlaw mostly and now i might swap over to sub mainly but my gear is kinda scuffed imo
1% but also im like 86.5% sure its always haste in instances
ive maxxed out my helm legs and chest +trinket so far
doesnt sim as an upgrade for me on only 707 sadly
play more
Yea only mythic belts outsim rn
maxroll.gg hit target dummy
ye I'm solely nelf for aesthetics + shadowmeld
After nerfs even hc belts will sim more mby
after nerfs it will be turbo patch
i thought it was like 2% or something and i was gonna vibe with it
i got 75 gilded left and i could upgrade belt or gloves or craft a second lens item
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4tQRnvYLwjNyzr61?fight=1&type=damage-done&source=13 i mean this log/fight mainly i sim for 4.5m
does feel good to be able to apply FW guaranteed on something like fractillus
outside of dance
Craft wrists
why when I can shadowstrike
if needed ofc
Wat is that ring ive never Seen it
its that you cant stab him is the problem
Sadge
i aint got no bility' named front stab
high mastery low vers delve ring
i got from bounty reward
still waiting for loom? to drop the crit mast ring
meh
you wont want the mast later on
100% is too much
i gained like 10k just from swapping mastery to vers/crit
(also don't sim with alchemical chaos on)
Ive got a mythic vest boe first week ;D
what is the sim using default?
i was only using vers flask ingame
chaos
Lucky me guildies bought it because i couldnt auction it
well
which fucks any kind of optimization with stats you are doing
how far behind is vers flask?
17k damage apparently but idk
i stopped putting more in after 25%
crit is worth a lot more atm
Is there some Channel or someone who does log reviews
How come so
45% vers on outlaw is such a nice pillow
!log
How does it work, someone checks it out? And posts in this special Channel thingy?
usually we inspect the timeline and see if its correct
there is a translate button usually?
usually is the way to go about things
loggin in german is cursed
?
@dusk stone
Playing the game in German is cursed
very true (i am german)
same
shadow dance is there no?
I would appreciate keen eye
I know I forget often about backstap during dance
My issue is I think I might Save cds to much or go wrong with which on use to use
you delayed your 2nd flag which fucked you for the rest of the fight

it's because of this highly illegal dance
also the person logging was on the other side of the room so it didn't log that platform for you
yeah cos the logger is too far away to log you
But details work fine
Was there really this big gap between me and top 1 dps of raid
Also illegal dance does it mean bad cuz it was third one
Between cds
No because it's too close to your flag
Yes. Straight to jail (assi)
General rule is only 2 dances between flags
In raid
Sometimes 1
Check out lorgs
I used it because I planned for 2min cds with forge
See when they are casting
yes it hard inted ur cd's
No don't do that
So for 3:30 for amp phase i would get full stacked prism
yeah that bad
amp is 4.30
literally in the log
Meaning you gotta flag literally on cd
it naturally aligns if you send on cd
or you miss it
Oohh
Okk
I was afeaid i use it on platform
Ans wont have it for amp
Cuz it feels like its straight after
on heroic saladbar some people dont send 2nd flag till 2:50 ish
so you have it at the start of add phase
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
After the nerfs to platforms health you can’t cd the add phase and have it back for the amp, it kinda sucks now
That was what I was thinking about before
Thanks kpb
they also kill the boss over a minute slower
depends on your group
race diff
#2 log was from yesterday and also holds 2nd flag for 2:52
but ye the people he's playing with aren't blasting
Hey lads. I just returned from a long break. Is there a working „auto tricks“ macro / wa out there still working?
