#

there is a fine line between testing what is the most efficient for your raid

lilac stag
#

Loom is easy as soon as 2-3 ranged use cds on tendrils. It’s an uphill fight until then.

vale pine
#

vs. not doing mechanics at all

crisp pond
#

think u have a spare point which i usually put in the mist darkness node on right i forgor what its called

karmic harbor
#

playing mechanics properly is the base line, it's how much damage you can do while doing mechanics

vale pine
#

and hope your raid team figures out a way to make the boss die still

lilac stag
#

the tendrils are the fight.

plush roost
shadow lance
#

Agreed but in the other way. I was asked to cleave the first prog evening, then warlock ask to have less dps on it so he could destroy it. I've been ask to go assa

queen plinth
#

would u run cb in eco dome?

lilac stag
plush roost
#

5head

crisp pond
proven plover
#

The rdps specs dont Lose nearly as much as the poor assa lad who has to physically move to them, dot them up and then hit them like a wet noodle without cds

lilac stag
#

they get yeeted further

#

So plenty of room

queen plinth
#

since wowhead told me to

vale pine
#

thats correct ^^

crisp pond
vale pine
#

you don't rly need to do much to play tea

#

cold blood is technically harder to play

crisp pond
#

that build works fine for almost everything forever

limpid sage
vale pine
#

i play cold blood also in m+

#

so ^^

queen plinth
#

pressing a macrod sec tech with cb doesnt sound harder ngl

vale pine
#

well you lose damage if you macro it

plush roost
#

Its 1 extra keybind

vale pine
#

roughly 1% dps

plush roost
#

Meow

crisp pond
vale pine
#

unless you have a 2nd secret bind

queen plinth
#

yea

#

got 2 sec binds

remote shuttle
#

With no rotten the extra 2% crit Is juicy, Need fast apply fw

queen plinth
#

if cb played correctly its a gain?

plush roost
#

Its honestly neutral with tea unless youre playing at the highest key level where things like boss damage vs aoe of the dungeon becomes relevant

queen plinth
#

im running my 15 eco now

#

with 703 ilvl

crisp pond
plush roost
#

Play what u prefer im doing 17s/18s rn and im just switching around vibe checking talents

crisp pond
#

yee just do tea imo too

queen plinth
#

they were both 711 in 14 gambit. i think im doing okayish

crisp pond
#

its fine and small minmax stuff

lilac stag
#

I think overall people enjoy playing with vigor more

queen plinth
#

sometimes im lagging when im going into cds

#

brainlagging

crisp pond
queen plinth
#

like pressing these fuck ton of buttons

#

yea was fine yesterday until i got prism and i had to switch binds

crisp pond
#

shindig made a intressting video about mastery of specs

#

like how ”sure” u are with ur spec

#

think it applies to sub and outlaw most tho

lilac stag
#

fake it til you make it

crisp pond
lilac stag
#

assa def still very easy to play wrong and do well with

#

The other two not so much

alpine wraith
#

think sub and outlaw oopsies have broken more than 1 keyboard and monitor per month

#

on average

vale pine
#

idk what people do

alpine wraith
#

we also get to enjoy goodies like the coup dash

vale pine
#

to break their monitors and keyboards

alpine wraith
#

anger issues

#

now you cant hit people

#

so you break other things

lilac stag
#

I had to move a trinket bind. Accidentally fat fingered araz when I had 18 stack prism. My life was joever

lilac stag
#

Shift-R and Shift-T a little too close to each other. omegalul

alpine wraith
#

yea my prism is in shift 2 now

earnest canyon
#

!wa

vale pine
#

wait, so you are not manually clicking your rotation?

#

(i am joking)

I asked if I could swap to assa for more st dmg. Pull up tendrils. You’re fooking 2nd. peepono

limpid sage

#

You can blast them, that’s for sure. Step makes it super easy

#

i was rerolling feral irl the way i wanted to scream

#

can anyone help me finetuning my sub rogue pls unable to keep up my dps with other players

#

logs in case more info

Do!log

mighty citrus
#

for people who are using liquid WA on frac, did it occur to you that you yell another symbol than what you actually got assinged to?

woeful barn
#

Bigwigs or dbm setting for markers p sure

#

Everyone in the raid has to have the setting unchecked

mighty citrus
#

i think it does not automark on frac mythic

#

but iam not sure

obsidian crag

!gear

tribal blade
#

if you're doing gambit the entire first area you're just spamming BP

willow egret
tribal blade
willow egret
#

and not evis

#

ok

#

got it

tribal blade
#

when you use evis you essentially cap yourself like outlaw

finite sequoia
#

should prolly evis if there are no other prio specs no?

tribal blade
#

not worth doing slightly more prio to do far less aoe

tribal blade
#

BP isn't that far behind evis in dmg, and most of our prio comes from stuff like strike/ub/coup/sectec

finite sequoia
#

i see

frank wadi
#

I understand for Sub we should never macro flagelation with shadowblades as we want to use them before a finisher, especially on opener. Same idea as shiving late or TTing after kingsbane...

But besides having separate button for SOD, is it advisable to macro SOD and dance? I dont recall every pressing dance without using symbols
Thanks!

tribal blade
#

depends on the pull though

#

eco dome is a good example, on the pactspeakers and sentinels i just full spam evis

#

because those 2 mobs are by far way more deadly than everything else in the pack and need to die asap

steel zinc
errant cobalt
#

/wa

#

!wa

lilac stag
#

embrace our overlord powder of the black

tribal blade
#

honestly i dunno, maybe i'll experiment with using evis spam more on big mobs

#

but for now BP spam is doing fine

lilac stag
#

I tried it, do not recommend

tribal blade
#

but on huge pulls there's no shot i'm pressing evis

lilac stag
#

Like 3 paladin 2 priests. Fml evis is dog

#

Prio melts from blades, st and coup

tribal blade
#

yeah i've looked at my dmg on certain fights like big momma where i'm spamming BP

#

i'm still doing good boss dam

lilac stag
#

mmhm

tribal blade
#

not far behind the havoc

#

actually big momma is weird, aoe pad is ethical dmg on that fight because the adds must die lol

#

it's very bad if they die slow

lilac stag
#

all our dmg is ethical

#

Everything must die in a key

runic trail
#

I pad so that the other DPS can focus on boss damage

lilac stag
#

Screw your havoc’s funnel

# willow egret https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kdgG2QY1vqzMaZwF?fight=last&pins=0%24Separa...

Pretty much all subs damage is in our cd window which to do good damage, you need to exact perfectly. Just looking at the first window, you didn't case flagellation, you delayed casting shadow blades, symbols of death and sectec (which you didn't supercharge). Idk if the pack died or what but this window is pretty jank, I'd go back to the wowhead guide and see exactly what is being pressed when, and practice on dummies til you can do it in your sleep

runic trail
#

I shall shoulder this burden

tribal blade
#

honestly just be sin on big momma and do literally everything

lilac stag
#

@tribal blade I highrolled with 18prism on first boss in priory. Ended up being a 55 second fight and like 11.5m overall. omegalul the lock and fury were laughing wondering wtf happened.

tribal blade
#

honestly the tier set seems to proc decently well on average

#

the times i low roll are not frequent

#

but are painfully obvious when they happen

willow egret
#

i shall practice the rotation more

remote shuttle
#

Learning piano Is always nice

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

oh yeah high rolling right now feels so good

lilac stag
#

I think I rather is be less highs and lows but it be what it be

#

or rng highs and lows

tribal blade
#

i think i would prefer if they increased the proc chance and reduced the dmg from the 2nd coup

#

but that might be even more busted

lilac stag
#

not sure. The delay irritates me

tribal blade
#

which delay?

lilac stag
#

shadowcraft / coup / premed blah blah blah

native zodiac
#

When your tierset doesnt proc a single time and theres no coup in the first dance in the opener

cloud rover
#

Skill issue

#

clearly

remote shuttle
native zodiac
#

Well thats hard to achieve in the opener

remote shuttle
#

Sec tec and u have 2 free ub to make 4

remote shuttle
tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

this man is lost in the coco

tribal blade
#

100%

#

the delays are driving me nuts

remote shuttle
#

Just wait the second spreading rup

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

yeah i have to do micro delays on gcds in cds

#

to account for it all

#

doesn't help playing with 200 ms makes it even jankier to deal with

lilac stag
#

which is batshit stupid for a gcd locked spec

remote shuttle
#

Think i could't be able to play with 100+ ms i dunno how u do what u do with 200

tribal blade
#

it's not fun sometimes lol

#

can't last second move out of anything, you get hit

#

also spell queueing nightmare

remote shuttle
#

I have fps trouble in raid, like araz 30 fps (in m+ i'm likes 90/120 fps)

tribal blade
#

sin is mostly fine to play with high ms, sub is moderately hard, outlaw is downright abyssmal

remote shuttle
#

Becomes so clunky and slow when things react slowly

#

Ye

lilac stag
tribal blade
remote shuttle
#

Will try today

lilac stag
#

you dont need plater for raiding

warm marlin
tribal blade
#

this is what i have for raid

remote shuttle
lilac stag
#

kui is streamlined and you can get it how you want it quite easily

tribal blade
#

the big ones are you want particle density on high

remote shuttle
tribal blade
lilac stag
#

👍

remote shuttle
tribal blade
#

i am small guy

lilac stag
#

just remember to turn plater back on in keys hahah

remote shuttle
lilac stag
#

all my color coding gone

remote shuttle
tribal blade
remote shuttle
#

Have Add-ons setup for raid and m+ separated (likes no archon raider.io Quest helpers and other stuff for raid)

tribal blade
#

one last one we did he was having UI problems and had to keep reloading his UI in a 17 eco

#

and we barely missed the timer

#

it was sad

remote shuttle
#

Darn

tribal blade
#

granted people died in stupid ways

lilac stag
#

Why you calling me out

tribal blade
#

like the healer died on the last boss for no reason

#

and then after wondered why the timer was so tight

remote shuttle
#

I miss last 15 in time (halls) then Will try 16s but q simulator has become bad last week

queen plinth
#

during flag do i press dance the moment my first dance ends?

#

to play it optimally?

tribal blade
remote shuttle
queen plinth
#

what if i dont get my longer dance from being out of combat? still just send

remote shuttle
tribal blade
#

i don't blame him at all, it sucks

#

no floodgate nerfs for some reason

#

floodgate will become the hardest key on reset

remote shuttle
#

Still i timed ara kara 15 with likes 5 mins on timer, didn't feel that bad as halls (timed 14 with like 8 secs and lotsof timer deplete before that One)

tribal blade
#

i played out of my mind to time 16 halls

remote shuttle
tribal blade
#

was able to kinda carry this feral in it

remote shuttle
#

Prio and flood new hardest

tribal blade
#

floodgate is just strangely hard right now

#

everything in there hurts so bad this season

remote shuttle
#

Ye

obsidian crag
#

during aoe, we only use shuriken storm dureing coup procs?

remote shuttle
#

And using prism doesn't help 🤣

#

Deaths are so punishing

tribal blade
#

yeah honestly the only dungeon i'm at serious risk of dying seems to be FG

#

every other dungeon i don't really die

tribal blade
remote shuttle
#

Mmmh i see that's good, i still Need to work, some runs 0 deaths, but others i die like once in the entire Key... If happens with 10+ prism stacks Is so bad

tribal blade
#

random deaths happen

#

it's the nature of keys

obsidian crag
#

during aoe, if i am out of cd, should i keep backstabing to generate combo points? So i can get coup procs, or should i go shuriken storm all the time?

remote shuttle
#

Ye Just improving day by day, that's the fun part of playing

tribal blade
#

dmg out of cds is very low for sub, you use that time to farm cdr

remote shuttle
#

Shuriken fast generate cp aoe (faster CDR than bs) bs if u sniping ub, also shuriken saves Ur passive stacks If u aim pooling to send back to backs in cd

#

(mean Shadow Techniques stacks)

tribal blade
#

yeah more cdr and more dmg because you can storm>BP>storm>BP

#

instead of stab>stab>stab>stab>finisher

remote shuttle
#

Yup or also storm rup storm rup if u spreading rup to cover effect under incoming cds

slate marlin
#

u proc tea after the 3rd stab

obsidian crag
#

are u guys using chaos flasks?

lilac stag
#

You won’t proc tea if it’s macro’d to dance

tribal blade
#

god they need to remove that part of tea

remote shuttle
#

Stab stab gograbacupofcoffe stab stab rollacig stab finisher

tribal blade
#

so toxic

remote shuttle
#

The auto use?

tribal blade
#

yeah

remote shuttle
#

The reason why im not using tea

tribal blade
#

i still use tea

remote shuttle
#

Is Just that

tribal blade
#

i love having vigor talented

#

better mental = more dps for me

lilac stag
#

you cycle them out quickly and the one or two that fuck it procced are whatever

remote shuttle
#

1 vigor + 2x crit (no tea no cb) should have sense with no rotten?

lilac stag
#

we have so much crit rotten isn’t really a concern afaik

remote shuttle
#

Just to not lose so much crit and grab some extra energy (mainly to play with tornado, with 100 energy Is pretty bad)

lilac stag
#

Just don’t play tornado

#

Ignore that shit

remote shuttle
#

Ye i usually don't

lilac stag
#

Like it’s haste

remote shuttle
#

From DF i hated it

#

But woha It burst CDR After cds

#

Or fast fw before cds

lilac stag
#

FW really ain’t that difficult to have up these days.

remote shuttle
#

True

swift tinsel
#

Imo once you’re at or above 25% crit rotten falls off

remote shuttle
#

CDR still juicy

swift tinsel
#

And FW becomes auto in aoe

remote shuttle
#

Im exactly 25%

#

Crit

swift tinsel
#

Storm gets so much passive crit

limpid sage
#

like every pull feels like it's a bl pull in terms of size

#

not in terms of danger though

swift tinsel
#

I’m kinda hoping they look at a few other dungeons and knock 10% off the count

#

Like they did with halls

lilac stag
#

My shit vision hates the water boss. I avoid it just because of that experience.

limpid sage
#

as soon as I can't see a wave under the boss it doesn't exist anymore in my mind

#

and then I get surprised seeing it 0.3s later coming towards me

#

luckily you can play reactively xd

lilac stag
#

for everything else they’ve tried to make more “visual” that shit is in game now twice in an expansion

#

fuck right off

limpid sage
#

I'd imagine it's impossible if you're blue green color blind

graceful osprey
#

Ladies and gentlemen, may the RNG gods bless your vault today

with the araz trinket and nether prism, how does the timings look?

#

i think theres a ! command, but i don't remember it

for m+ what are good players doing that bad players aren't

#

i only recently started playing rogue and i feel comfortable with sin in m+ but not so much with sub. i feel like i have rotation down but my dps is not keeping up with other classes

!macros

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

graceful osprey
#

For sub, go all gas, pop CDs all day everyday

ivory salmon
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
graceful osprey
#

We just want to capitalize on our burst timings, so if you’re with a tank that likes to chain pull, hold for when the tank grabs everything and then go to town

short radish
#

uhhhhh

#

no

#

do not pop cds all day every day

#

????

#

!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".

lilac stag
#

can be more of a challenge in less organized pugs

graceful osprey
#

Well, I didn’t mean to pop CDs just all off cooldown. But scath explains it better lol

lilac stag
#

but sitting on cds too long and losing casts overall generally really bad practice

short radish
#

brother you can't just say "go all gas pop cds all day" and not have someone take it as "don't pop all of them on cooldown"

lilac stag
#

It lights up, I pop it. I am Ret

rancid spade
#

sometimes i accidently press shadow dance or symbols twice is there a way to make it press only once every second?

swift tinsel
#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

swift tinsel
#

Dance is special and can’t be double-pressed so no need for same macro for that one

oh true

I’m hoping to make that much reselling inky black potions kekdog

i will try to get an only mastery one

but will wait a bit

warm marlin

i will get the alpha ring eventually and boe will replace the db one since i will not get from vault

brazen cypress
#

hi all,
on my elemental shaman, I'm using this macro that replaces chain lightning with tempest when it procs

#showtooltip /cast [known:Tempest] Tempest(); Chain Lightning

I'm trying to create the same for the sub replacing the black powder with Coup de grace. but for some reason I can only see coup de grace when it procs, but never black powder

#showtooltip /cast [known:Coup de Grace] Coup de Grace(); Black Powder

anyone tried it?

swift tinsel
#

Sounds like a more complicated way to just press coup when it procs

#

Coup is a weird ability

brazen cypress
#

2 buttons for finishers in aoe (this macro + sectec)
2 buttons for finishers in ST (eviscerate + sectec)

but you are right, i'm just lazy xD

swift tinsel
#

3 buttons total (evisc BP Sectech)

brazen cypress
swift tinsel
karmic harbor
#

hmmmmmm

fallow nimbus
#

Eviscerate is coup but bp isn't so it will always use the first ability in that macro

lilac stag
#

^ our special is just a fancy name for evicerate

brazen cypress
swift tinsel
#

If it works for tempest tho

lilac stag
#

is it on your stealth bar? garf_sit

swift tinsel
#

Which replaces lb

rough jewel
#

if u shadowdance then u are in stealth

lilac stag
swift tinsel

I already said coup is weird

lilac stag

Then try it

swift tinsel

warm marlin
karmic harbor
#

but ig if you arent looking at keybinds it's w,e

karmic harbor
#

still doesnt show bp icon, just coup

lilac stag
#

Even forcing it to BP?

#

You can make show tooltip show anything

lone linden
#

it will only show the coup tooltip if coup has procced

karmic harbor
#

if you force it to BP, it never changes to coup

lilac stag
#

You don’t need it to. Evic will show it

#

Or idk a WA

karmic harbor
#

you dont need the icon for bp either?

swift tinsel
#

Yeah is a bit redundant if you already have evisc on bars

karmic harbor
#

it's just weird

#

but it works

swift tinsel
#

And/or WA

#

Unless you PvP

#

And change every tooltip to show stuff lol

lilac stag
#

Every tooltip is shadowstep

brazen cypress
lilac stag
#

We’ve got a winner!

#

Go team!

swift tinsel
#

Yay redundancy!

lilac stag
#

add shuriken storm to it

swift tinsel
#

U won’t

lilac stag
#

I will

brazen cypress
#

i'm just going sub after evoker, shaman and dh.... too many buttons on my subs, need time to manage them in my head xD

can you add known to the tooltip, I thought you could but I maybe mistaken.

umbral fulcrum
#

someone mentioned yesterday that lily+prism isn't worth and i should just use a passive+prism, but my sim shows lily+prism as a gain on patchwerk 1t 5m. should i be simming some other way?

lilac stag
#

Lily and prism is fine

#

and you likely got partial information from your inquiry

spiral sierra
limpid sage
#

Given the macro still works for using bp

umbral fulcrum
#

my original question was should i stack up prism to 18 or just alternate lily/prism if there's no amp on a fight

#

since you can just lily for every cd window

#

i know you alternate prism + forge bc forge is a 2m

umbral fulcrum
#

so i want to end on a prism use i assume

lilac stag
#

Prism should be stronger than lily at both 9 and 18, so I wouldn’t want to lose casts of it

#

Double on use helps offset the trinket less blades

warm marlin
umbral fulcrum
#

what

lilac stag
#

If you alternate it’s Lily and 9

#

otherwise it’s Lily, Lily, 18

umbral fulcrum
#

it takes ~3m to stack prism to 18

warm marlin
#

lily pull
prism (9 stack)
lily 3mins
prism (18 stack)
lily
prism (18 stack)

umbral fulcrum
#

yea thats basically what ive been doing

lilac stag
#

again it’s fight length dependent. If you’re shits dead at 3 mins, I want 18 there

#

so you have flexibility

#

or thinking for some people. Haha

warm marlin
#

yes always end with prism

umbral fulcrum
#

this is almost exclusively for mythic prog so i dont think ill be seeing any short fights like that any time soon

lilac stag
#

mythic you’re looking at Amps and adds

umbral fulcrum
#

im so bad...

#

first tier playing sub

lilac stag
#

they’re dead so you can’t be that bad

graceful osprey
umbral fulcrum
#

im used to better parses as assa

#

feeling exposed lol

lilac stag
#

look at lorrgs and see cds timings. Ignore stuff that uses prism on pull since I don’t think it has all onuse trinkets filters or.

lilac stag
#

assa’s worst nightmare. Sub is good. garf_sit

karmic harbor
#

im jk

lilac stag
#

it’s just different and well not kind to errors

karmic harbor
#

sub is like opener and dance

#

if you can do those 2 things you're good

young path
#

Mechanics and raid positioning can bring immense pain to a parse

Example, getting the first circle debuff on plexus on pull

#

Almost unrecoverable

lilac stag
karmic harbor
young path
#

And recommend not playing on starlink… the daily MS struggle is real

lament fiber
#

haste

karmic harbor
#

i also think people forget if you've killed soul hunters your parses are up against other good players

#

compared to playing assa on plex/loom/soulbinder

#

which even pugs are killing these days

warm marlin
#

sprint + dip out last 2s step back, drop like 1 global

warm osprey
#

is there anyone who does cheap good coaching, it may not help, i may be too old and slow to play this game, but my god am i dog shit this tier

plush roost
#

Shadowstep your boomkin 1 1 second before circle

steel jolt
#

People will help you for free here

plush roost
#

Show him whos boss

karmic harbor
#

i know boomkins are bad but they might react after 11 seconds

young path
#

Our raid lead is super sensitive about insta running them out because of damage it causes around u and people too brain dead to move

sweet raven
#

is the double ST 1st dance is actually 100% achievable with every scenario (no shadow technique stack, no sham buff, no lust) or anything?

#

im struggling hard sometimes

sweet raven
#

and idk why

karmic harbor
#

why do we even want double sectec in 1st dance

short radish
#

because you can just squeeze it in sometimes

#

but like

#

dont bother

lavish girder
#

It's not mandatory it's just if you can you slam it

short radish
#

just do your rotation normally

astral axle
#

solution simple

swift tinsel
sweet raven
#

Ok i thought i was doing something wrong

swift tinsel
lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

bigly button

#

and also means likely triple sectech in blades

short radish
plush roost
#

The third sec tec is super tight

swift tinsel
#

ye

young path
#

If u vanish and evis in the opener, won’t the odds of getting coup almost immediately after sec tech go up? Which then has a higher potential into ensuring second sec tech cast w/TFD?

plush roost
#

But can be done with good coup rng

vernal drift
#

Iam kinda confused with m+ builds, some use the rotten with tea, others cb etc. Any tips here?

swift tinsel
#

if you pre-disorient it helps with double sectech

plush roost
warm marlin
astral axle
#

getting the pre-di-- yeah what haptics said

lilac stag
swift tinsel
warm marlin
#

triple sectec in blades needs like taza hm style prestack

swift tinsel
#

in blades is highroll heaven

warm marlin
#

nah not possible

#

without prestack

upbeat sorrel
sweet raven
#

How much dps variance sub has btw

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

I’m at around 30% crit now and FW spread so easily.

short radish
#

its like 8%?

#

or something

#

or 12

sweet raven
#

Any %?

#

ok its quite big

plush roost
#

Prestack. Pot. Lust. Flag rupture. Backstab Sectec coup coup strike evis strike coup sectec storm coup strike evis strike coup coup strike sectec simple.

short radish
#

but i might just be making that number up

warm marlin
#

4.6% stdev

sweet raven
#

Ok it might be quite low

warm marlin
#

on simulationcraft

short radish
#

okay yeah im making that number up

sweet raven
#

Lmao

short radish
warm marlin
#

its within the top 10 of all specs tho

warm marlin
#

so its pretty high

astral axle
plush roost
#

Mm variance psh

short radish
plush roost
#

How about my shadowcraft refund bugging out variance?

lilac stag
#

at least RS you could drop

short radish
swift tinsel
#

double the coups, double the fun

astral axle
#

every day i play sub
is a day im not playing sin
and therefore a good day

lilac stag
plush roost
#

The fact that it can award the refund after coup at 1.7 seconds.is so criminal man

swift tinsel
#

I play sin when I have trouble sleeping and need help

plush roost
#

Just end me

short radish
#

whoever could have seen this coming from blizzard

swift tinsel
#

surely they fix that with midnight OMEGAKEKW

short radish
#

no they're going to add another button that has delayed damage

swift tinsel
#

hell yeah

#

gimme more split damage while you're at it

short radish
#

so now we have

coup
sectech
midnight storm (new ability)

swift tinsel
#

I want backstab to be

#

Back

#

then Stab

lilac stag
plush roost
#

Subs apex talent is just bug fixes

warm marlin
#

i think the coup gcd thing is actually a bigger issue that most arent realizing yet

#

with 4p

swift tinsel
#

and storm to be

upbeat sorrel
swift tinsel
#

Shruriken

#

then Storm

warm marlin
#

the amount of good players whose logs ive looked at who are dropping gcds in dance is more than it should be

plush roost
#

Oh buddy ive realized it since ptr

umbral fulcrum
#

i thought i was just lagging

lilac stag
plush roost
#

Theres a delay and sometimes it literally happens at .01 second of your next gcd

short radish
plush roost
#

Its insane

short radish
#

is this what you guys were cooking upw ith the WA last week?

short aurora
#

Can we roll with 0 haste or is that illegal?

short radish
swift tinsel
#

ye lowest haste you can get is like

#

900

astral axle
#

Midnight leak:
[Stab] Only usable from the front of enemies. [Backstab] Only usable from the back of enemies. [Sidestab] Only usable from the side of enemies. [Shadow Strike] Only usable while standing inside of an enemy's shadow.

plush roost
warm marlin
short radish
#

you could try run cursed rings and also roll negative haste on flask

swift tinsel
#

with full myth chest

short radish
#

but then you also get some back from mana oil

short aurora
warm marlin
#

like with 4 coups per blades, if you insta chain dance to not lose coup/sectec damage, you only have 0.2s of grace period

short aurora
#

Chest

plush roost
short radish
#

gotta get that 0.1%

warm marlin
#

and most people are not instantly queueing their gcd after pressing dance

plush roost
#

Whetstone sims higher for me

short aurora
#

Oh

short radish
#

tier shoulder is BIG haste

#

tier chest is little haste

#

so we take tier chest

short aurora
#

Oh true

#

Im dumb

swift tinsel
#

and loom off-set shoulder

short radish
plush roost
lilac stag
warm marlin
#

i made a new keybind with a dance/symbols/bs macro just for blades opener, where i wait until my gcd is ready to press it

#

because you just need the leeway of instantly casting after dance

nova cairn
#

Is there a way you can actually change our fibers on raidbots

astral axle
plush roost
#

Little + icon should be what u want in top gear

lilac stag
#

I like how sub is doing damage, the bugs and gameplay interference is just not fun.

nova cairn
#

Ohh ffs

#

you're jokin

#

I am dense

lilac stag
#

I have zero confidence anything gets fixed

#

For midnight

#

unless they blow it up

swift tinsel
bright briar
astral axle
#

oh you saw

swift tinsel
#

as long as they don't make things worse

spice lichen
swift tinsel
#

which is def a possibility

lilac stag
spice lichen
#

yeah nvm i see your message now

#

oopsie

swift tinsel
#

Lol was just watching Madseason's Shadowlands retrospective

plush roost
nova cairn
swift tinsel
#

and how it was supposed to be great relative to BFA

astral axle
swift tinsel
#

and I'm getting similar vibes about TWW->Midnight

warm marlin
plush roost
#

Bro its just like season 2 df omfg

warm marlin
#

in my testing so far allows me to insta chain dance to not lose my sectec clone damage without dropping a gcd in the second dance

plush roost
#

Yeah makes a lot of sense good comms

#

I remember old tfd was +4cp on dance cast

warm marlin
#

because like 80% of my nexus king pulls i was dropping a gcd in second dance dead

plush roost
#

So i had a macro that combined gloomblade and dance on the same global

#

And one that did it for evis as well

#

Back when this spec was 4 buttons

#

Maybe i should do that too tbh, just annoying since i have so many keybinds being eaten up already

stoic token
#

you end up going into dance with full cp often, that doesnt really work

warm marlin
#

not for blades

plush roost
#

No its as an extra button

warm marlin
#

and ya an extra bind

warm marlin
short radish
#

wait so how does your opener work now with this?

warm marlin
#

and just this amount is enough to lose gcd in second dance with insta chain 💀

plush roost
#

Yeah that is enough to lose a global zzz

short radish
#

shadow strike -> flag -> rupture -> new macro with everything?

warm marlin
short radish
#

👍

#

thats

Dance
Symbols
Shadowblade
Backstab

#

right?

stoic token
#

no you cant macro anything unfortunately

warm marlin
#

no blades is later with sectec

short radish
#

oh so
Dance
Symbols
Backstab

stoic token
#

blades is 1 global later

warm marlin
#

need another macro for shadowstrike too

plush roost
#

So youre just doing it on your first dance cast and not the second one obv

warm marlin
#

xd

short radish
#

wait

plush roost
#

Fun

short radish
#

what the fuck

stoic token
#

you can bind them together and honestly not lose much dps

short radish
#

how many macros do you need

#

holy shit

swift tinsel
#

we're fdk now

#

one for every builder

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

Ye it was a bad pull

#

But theres a bunch of others too last i checked

plush roost
hazy breach
#

Especially when you get good coup procs

short radish
warm marlin
short radish
#

maybe i got more crit though

plush roost
#

Hi its me 2

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

the macro also allows me to not get griefed by the sod rupture refund bug

#

so its double usage

lilac stag
#

Sims keeps wanting more

plush roost
#

Real

stoic token
#

when going into your second shadowblades should you just always refresh rupture after flag?

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

if its duration is less than like 28-30sec I do

leaden prairie

warm marlin
#

macro gaming in taza hm HOLY

no more delay gg

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.

hazy breach
#

For some reason my muscle memory always ends up with like 0.2-0.3s delay inbetween my dance and backstab and it didnt use to be a problem, but now with twice the coup i probably should get on the macro boat

short radish
#

!dance

warm marlin
stoic token
#

if i have coup i should hold and open dance and if i have evis i evis and then dance?

plush roost
#

This is good comms ty mr bingussy

warm marlin

np gamer hope they fix all the coup stuff with midnight

hazy breach

But surely its getting fixed soon right

btw talking about naked sectech this morning, i learned its useless in single target but what about AOE

plush roost
#

In aoe its fine just make sure its up for cds

short radish
#

so it's

#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Symbols of Death
/cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance

#

?

hazy breach
#

And start of with sectech

short radish
#

and acutally sit and wait for the gcd

#

and not spam like a monkey

stoic token
#

really how is secteching outside of shadowblades worth it... i dont understand lol

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

!sod

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

This bit

#

Not sure the /cqs is needed

short radish
#

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

warm marlin
#

i took the cqs out and it seemed to be fine not sure what it does

stoic token
junior timber
#

what is the cqs?

leaden prairie
leaden prairie
#

And it send out a bunch of sod

stoic token
swift tinsel
#

and it's habit for a lot of people to press blades after sectech bc it didn't benefit until relatively recently

warm marlin
leaden prairie
#

But there is a natural delay I'm pretty sure on off GCD abilities so that's not really possible

!coup

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. 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.

macroing shadow dance with backstab is shit btw? i have an old reflex from legion to shadowstrike right after shadow dance lmao

thanks bingus

Cause it was Perma down

ye

im sure blizzard will fix this issue by the time i get to dimmy copium

Cucking myself

queen plinth

so how do we sim. for m+ we use dungeonslice?

leaden prairie
#

I would spend legit the entire damage amp without fw

warm marlin
dense geode
#

are yall saving stech for every living masses especiall for 2nd set

leaden prairie
#

Cause I would bs first and then proc the whole phase

leaden prairie
#

I never dance on boss

queen plinth
#

and raid st patchwerk 5 min? how about araz for example

leaden prairie
#

No wait I do one dance on boss after my last set of cd

#

That's it

short radish
#

who cares just sim patchwerk

dense geode
leaden prairie
#

Sub very good to nuke adds I like

warm marlin
#

you need to mash the shadowstrike version though

#

the stealth bar delay thing i think

hazy breach
neon frigate
#

Should i align thistle tea with flag? Or doesnt it matter?

warm marlin
#

you cant macro dance strike

leaden prairie
hazy breach
#

You just hold dances until adds spawn garf_sit

dense geode
leaden prairie
#

But you can't press before anyway that might be during the mechanic

dense geode
#

i keep having liek 1 and a half ig sometimes cause i get pulled up

leaden prairie
queen plinth
#

how do we play in raids with adds? we afk until adds come then we send dances?

swift tinsel
#

p much

short radish
#

pretty much yeah

#

check lorgs

queen plinth
#

but kinda send cds on pull?

#

or do we even hold on soulbinder or araz

swift tinsel
#

you can send dance/sod/sectech typically

short radish
#

check lorgs

swift tinsel
#

then flag into the first adds

short radish
#

but its a send dance on pull

#

send flag at 20ish seconds

swift tinsel
#

and timers line up after for the most part

queen plinth
#

ah yea fair

umbral fulcrum
#

for araz i saw ppl sending a dance+sectec on pull and then its all up again for the first add set

queen plinth
#

so sub is hard padding spec with cds

umbral fulcrum
#

so thats what i did

queen plinth
#

gotya

short radish
#

no

swift tinsel
#

not really padding when adds need to die

short radish
#

its not pad

#

adds need to die

#

fuck ive been ragebaited

swift tinsel
#

we're not ret paladins lets be clear

short radish
#

im so stupid

queen plinth
#

so are we pooling energy and barely press buttons?

#

bascially jjust deal dmg with rup and autoattacks?

leaden prairie
#

Like on pull you send your cds with 2 dance, hold the dance for add, hold the dance for adds, hold cd a bit for right after devourer cast or after bump whatever the fuck you wanna do doesn't change shit, then dance again whenever you feel like it, then start stacking everything for p2 since you DPS stop anyway, full coup, send one sod for max stack and 2 SC, one sec tech for 2 ub

#

Then do that again in every P2 platform gg

#

Easy win

queen plinth
#

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sub is the hardest padding spec ive played for sure

short radish
#

nope

#

im not falling for this anymore

clever delta
#

60m burst in m+ look sick

queen plinth
#

its okay if adds "need to die" 😉

#

😉

#

😉

swift tinsel
#

is that a twitch or

queen plinth
#

ngl im not even being mad or saying its bad

#

i love sub

#

would even say i like sub as much as playing mage.

#

and immaining mage since df

short radish
#

oh youre a mage main

swift tinsel
#

ohhh explains it

short radish
#

okay your opinions are instantly invalidated

#

thanks for stopping by

swift tinsel
#

we're stealing your funnel

short radish
#

have a nice day, good luck with your vault

swift tinsel
#

not sorry

queen plinth
#

what are you even saying

#

i thought rogue and mage are shaking hands

swift tinsel
#

only in pvp

austere bison
#

gang im interested in shuriken storm is it actually useful or just spam shadowstrike(backstab)?

queen plinth
#

so this not enough?

dense geode
#

we dont pad tho unless youre pressing BP

#

😭

warm marlin
#

@leaden prairie im sure you've noticed this bug too #subtlety message would be happening on your flag starting p2

short radish
warm marlin
#

can counterplay by dancing before symbols

dayum why does everybody hate mage

#

only valid hate is against hunters

short radish
swift tinsel
queen plinth
#

dayum

dense geode
short radish
#

okay everyone press full single target and adds will passive die to cleave eventually

leaden prairie
#

I don't get a refund

#

Iirc

#

Or idk

#

But I noticed my CDs were weird but always the same

#

When I had full stacked thing

calm urchin
leaden prairie
#

I think the way I play it I don't get a refund

warm marlin
#

if you cast symbols with supercharger up and 7sht, it will refund you randomly

leaden prairie
#

On the first sec tech

warm marlin
#

unless you cast dance first

leaden prairie
#

Oh no you are right

#

Wait let me think

warm marlin
leaden prairie
#

I legit cannot remember

warm marlin
#

wait

#

WAIT

#

that's why dance counterplays the sod bug

#

premed is preventing the late sod refund

hazy breach
#

Atleast it cant refund on rupture ticks anymore garf_sit

warm marlin
#

aint no way

leaden prairie
#

Cause I know I noticed it was weird and I adjusted how I play

hazy breach
leaden prairie
warm marlin

thats so funny

lmfao

iron plover
#

Lmfao

leaden prairie
#

Ah ye I remember now

#

Like I do this always

#

I always have max stacks and I did notice it was refunding me after sod

#

Which I then just ended up playing around

warm marlin
#

ye the sod late refund bug is refunding you when you press it. if you want that, its fine, could dance first and get the backstab to sectec coup coup

leaden prairie
#

And then always striking after cause it doesn't refund

#

But I didn't know why it didn't refund

leaden prairie
#

Cause I do it legit the same every single time

warm marlin
#

thats the other reason im using the backstab macro now

#

it does dance first for me so i dont break muscle memory

sweet raven
leaden prairie
#

Do you know

sweet raven
#

or not at all

#

(im newb)

leaden prairie
#

Mistake

sweet raven
#

Ok just wondering

leaden prairie
#

I manage to get triple sec tech sometimes in the damage amp ryldd

#

That's pretty crazy

warm marlin
#

no wei

#

isnt it 15s

leaden prairie
#

Ye

turbid edge
#

If your big cds come up when pack has 20-30% hp left, do u just send symbols/dance/sectech and save flag/blades for next?

leaden prairie
#

Like 10 or smth idk

#

Ye 15 maybe

warm marlin
#

link log!

leaden prairie
#

No way I find it

#

But basically

#

If I do it good

sweet raven
#

wait but you are tomelvis and you're french

leaden prairie
#

Sometimes I get to damage amp with coup, 2 ub or 3, full sht stacks, 2 SC prior, and I will triple sod

#

And sec tech first GCD

warm marlin
#

ohh triple sod

leaden prairie
#

Or second I guess

warm marlin
#

maybe is how

leaden prairie
#

Since flag sec tech

leaden prairie
warm marlin
#

no i think its prob good

#

dimensius soon for us

leaden prairie
#

If I play it good and have the rng I can get 3

#

I think I did it like twice

#

You have lust as well so

#

I get my second sod in the first dance ryld

#

So 6s in

warm marlin
#

looks like a fun sub fight to think about that sort of thing

leaden prairie
#

Ye

#

It's the kind of fight that makes sub shine

warm marlin
#

im doing sort of same on nexus guy but less opportunity

leaden prairie
#

(DPS stops and downtime and burst )

warm marlin
#

cant prestack as hard unless giga proc

leaden prairie
#

Stupid spec ngl

#

Like we DPS stop end of P1 and every end of plat

#

And DPS stops are just

#

Prepping mega nuke for sub

#

Goes crazy no cap

#

I would be fuming as outlaw

#

As sub I just want longer DPS stop

warm marlin
leaden prairie
#

Let me auto attack baby

warm marlin
#

i dont think any other spec can do that sort of thing to prep so hard

#

like in taza hm its just sub by far
