we started soul hunters last night

#

Then you get to week 5-6 of the tier. garf_sit

#

may not even be on rogue for salad bar or dimey

#

Our monk getting married so warrior tank going monk, back to rent-a-warrior

jade urchin
#

luckily last 2 bosses loot kinda bad

#

this tier

tribal blade
#

the fact that other boots drop from raid when you only put the soul hunters boots on that slot is criminal

hazy breach
#

Every armor type except leather has boe boots too

lilac stag
#

That’s the bigger criminal bullshit

tribal blade
#

so crazy

hazy breach
#

So theres 2 or 3 boots that arent the soulhunter boots

#

Like why

jade urchin
#

imagine they didnt disable cloak drops too

#

half the loot would literally be dead

tribal blade
#

it's so funny, i won 714 non-soul hunter boots from raid and every single person only needed them for free upgrades

lilac stag
#

I have lfr interlopers on Woyer.
Mythic: 128k upgrade
Heroic: 79k upgrade
Basic Bitch Mythic Boots: 48k

tribal blade
#

so i could send my soul hunter boots to 710

lilac stag
#

48k from lfr to 723 is criminal

tribal blade
#

gearing is weird this tier

#

cloak is dead slot

#

boots are basically dead slot because you can only equip 1 pair

lilac stag
#

belt you get back

#

My 717 wins for assa and sub now

tribal blade
#

and i messed up last week and crafted 720 belt without realizing i could buy 714 boe

wild hornet
#

bracers are always dead fosho

#

guaranteed craft

tribal blade
#

or it was equal

#

and i figured fuck using the belt with rng

lilac stag
#

I’d like to replace it on warrior to get nitro boost back

tribal blade
#

haha true

wild hornet
#

mine never saw the light of day

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't use it at this point if it's a marginal increase

#

you lose too much stam

lilac stag

#

nothing a 200% overkill cant ruin

belt is a slight gain with 6/6 myth nerub signet ring for me

#

Does anyone know if when we are in TFD and if I SecTech when I have like 1 or 0.5S of SD left, does the 2nd tick of SecTech use the danse macabre stacks and dmg modifiers of when I pressed the button or my current state?

#

1st opener of raid been trying to sectech in TFD and have seen some crazy numbers

#

but im not sure if its just lucky crits or something

jade urchin
#

it looks so sad between hunters warris dhs

hollow spear
lilac stag
#

The important part is getting dance back up immediately

indigo steppe
#

So is it only worth it to send CB+SecTech in TFD if I have >1.2sec of dance remaining?

lilac stag
#

no, just send it

#

DM stacks aren't anything to worry about

indigo steppe
#

yeah im more just worried about the sectech ticking when I don't even have SD up

#

but that would be like pretty unlikely timing probably

Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:

strange chasm
#

If we are just hitting p3 now a couple times after under 100 pulls did you guys kill pretty soon after? On Dim that is?

queen kraken
#

are people starting to play thistle tea+tornado over cb and rotten?

swift tinsel
#

first logged kill on plexus as sin bc I was fucking around and didn't expect us to kill, rip

lethal gale
#

how are you guys usually cycling forge/prism in keys on cds? something like Forge>no trinket>prism? or holding slightly depending on the situation and going Forge>forge>prism?

queen kraken
#

unless u die

#

gotcha running antenna/prism rn and usually find myself holding till 16-18 stacks for bigger packs

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.

!prism

#

Unyielding Netherprism
Use the trinket at the same time as Shadow Blades. What stacks you should use it on depends on your trinket combination:

  • If its your only on-use trinket: 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.
  • If youre using Prism+Forge: Rotate between them each Shadow Blades regardless of stacks (so forge on pull, prism on 1:30, forge on 3:00)
  • If youre using Prism+Lily: Use Lily with Blades until you have 16+ stacks of Prism, then use prism and hold Lily for next Blades.

What’s the coup wa helper do?

warm marlin
#

Shows a grey gcd bar when you cast coup with a tick for the final hit, since any hit of coup can proc the delayed Shadowcraft refund. Gives you a bit more leeway in spellqueing your next gcd because you know coup can’t refund anymore

short radish
warm marlin
#

yes

#

I modified it a bit to just be a bar to the tick line, and if I haven’t refunded by then I queue next builder, but it’s the same idea

#

Instead of guessing if the late refund happens you know it won’t by a certain point

#

no sorry if you want that just remove the tick and change the 1.2s timer in conditions to 0.9

#

technically it’s like 0.9-0.95 from looking at my logs but

#

Can change it to 0.95 to be safe. I suspect it might be ping related in some way but not sure

hidden oar
#

it is impossible to cast eviscerate if we have coup overlayed right? We can only do it by using bp but in singler target it is not worth it.
Just trying to check if maybe I could hold onto coup in ST to cast it with SD

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

# placid elk there are on wago

saw a nice netherprism one, but not a ritual forge that matches at all. Guess I'll try to copy netherprism one and modify it to ritual forge

#

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility >= Critical Strike >>> Haste

#

!macro

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.

placid elk

#

!prepull

wicked joltBOT
#

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 than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.

Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:

magic dove
#

Anyone know what the like adjusted expected recahge time for dance is when you think about the CD refunds? Its 60 seconds base, but like 30 seconds effective?

warm marlin
#

depends on what you are doing while waiting for it

magic dove
#

just looking for a rough range

#

like 30-40 seconds?

warm marlin
#

you can farm a dance back rather quickly in dance itself, maybe 20 seconds. If you’re just backstabbing waiting it’ll be more like 45

how many gcds during dance? imrpoved gets to 10 seconds so 8-9 ish and in standard one 6-7 ?

8 gcd in 8 sec dance

12 in tfd 8 in regular

first dance is 12 secs normal dance 8

is 300k for HC netherprism worth it ?

send it

oh well depends on what you want to do

araz can be whatever unless you really want to do some things

i dont have araz trinket yet

#

and prism i wanna send every 2nd Shadowblades for big burst

alpine wraith
#

yea i mean if you have like 11 million 300k is whatever

little epoch
#

so araz can compensate in between

alpine wraith

but if you have 350 i would not

i have 3.5m atm

alpine wraith

ah then it is whatever

shadow lance
#

Bro, it's your money, do what you want with

ye ik dont care about gold but if its worth to have araz i guess

alpine wraith

he maybe means if it is worth well you wont really replace it

unless you get mythic antenna or pacemaker

If you have access to mythic bosses maybe wait a bit

is there a !command with all the available commands ?

okay so i know the opener is supposed to be the same everytime, flag into rupture but what if your target is already ruptured and you have full combo points before sending flag

just you know you over ruptured and not sending rotation is gonna grief more than trying to find a new rupture target

Just evisc. It doesn’t have to be rupture unless you need to refresh

hey guys, question about the rotation, for the m+ spec that uses first dance. So in the opener, im backstabbing immediately after activating shadow dance and symbols, then i hit shadow blades and my first secret technique. should i be backstabbing after every activation of shadow dance and symbols, even though it overcaps my combo points?

lucid jackal
#

Your first generator in dance should be backstab

#

If you dont need to generate combo points, you dont press it

#

But your first generator should be backstab

plush roost
#

(For legal reasons this is a joke)

livid hamlet
#

yeah i get that. idk unless im misinterpreting the opener, it seems like were to backstab after our first dance and before our first secret technique to get a stack of danse macabre right, even though it overcaps CP?

lucid jackal
#

No

#

If you dont need to generate combo points, you dont press a generator

#

You dont backstab at full CP

plush roost
#

Why would it over cap cp? 0cp strike > flag > 7cp rupture > 0cp backstab

lucid jackal
#

^

plush roost
#

If youre starting your opener without flag and its just tfd (such as between pulls in m+) you can immediatly sectec as your first global in dance or spread rupture and then dance

#

Whatever makes the most situational sense.

#

But first generator in dance is backstab. So you can go 7cp > dance >sectec > 0cp backstab

livid hamlet
#

well whenever i press shadow dance i get full combo points. on icy veins, it straight up says to backstab right after using shadow dance and shadow blades in the opener.

lucid jackal
#

You dont

plush roost
#

Youre sure youre not forgetting to rupture?

lucid jackal
#

Shadow dance doesnt give u full combo points

plush roost
#

Show a log or smthn cause that is not a thing that occurs

#

Unless youre doing symbols before dance with 7+ shadowcraft stacks

#

But i doubt thats whats happening since usually that requires some preramp

livid hamlet
#

hmm i think my issue is that i erroneously macroed shadow dance and backstab together lol. meant to get rid of that macro but mistakenly kept it when swapping between st and aoe specs, sorry for the confusion

plush roost
#

Thatll do it, classic haha

acoustic matrix
#

You often proc shadow techniques along with premed overcapping too

Altho it's not supposed to happen it does a lot in my logs

That’s why I’m boycotting it

Ofcourse as long as I have flag and blades and dance/symbol charges

question: for sub rogue, do you only want to send tea w/ dance when you full combo (flag/sb)? mainly my question is outside of the tea with all cds. when do i send tea?
or just send it with any of your dances? (whether i flag/sb or not)

ornate lake
#

Just macro dance to tea

lilac stag
#

Macro it to dance and forget about it

And you have dance with 0 Cp so you can follow up with a backstab

Other than a pack being nearly dead is there ever a good reason to hold cooldowns in m+

Remember sub does healer damage without CDs. Until unless it's absolutely necessary, do not hold back

Feel like if its a small amount of time there isnt giant harm in holding

especially if ur dances arent capped

gcd capped spec, near zero use for haste. lust is aamazing

Sub just doesn’t get as much out of lust as other specs

grand viper

yea im aware

you're not if you're holding for lust

Only times I hold back are:-
1>Waiting for dances and symbol charges to be at sufficient amount
2>Pack is almost dead
3>Big Momma coming up next

#

At around 5:05 ish when you pop cds on pargoth

Otherwise you wouldn’t get your cds until a couple seconds into burn

(The 5:05 is assuming you’re holding dps in p1 and waiting for the second rock on platform 1)

But basically on pargoth you want autumn

how do we trust sims for m+?

I run 3 scenarios: 1tar 5min (classic sim), 4targets 1.5 min, 8targets 1min

in all cases the alpha ring (7k crit>1k mast) sims higher than priory ring(5.5k mast>3.5k vers) - in all cases its from 0.4-0.9% dps increase

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.

Unyielding Netherprism
Use the trinket at the same time as Shadow Blades. What stacks you should use it on depends on your trinket combination:

  • If its your only on-use trinket: 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.
  • If youre using Prism+Forge: Rotate between them each Shadow Blades regardless of stacks (so forge on pull, prism on 1:30, forge on 3:00)
  • If youre using Prism+Lily: Use Lily with Blades until you have 16+ stacks of Prism, then use prism and hold Lily for next Blades.

#

i know its rare situation but when prio target that had fazed died and u proc coup, do you burn sec tech for applying fazed before coup?

left ledge
#

You always Sectec first in dance

#

It applies fazed in an aoe I’m pretty sure

placid elk
#

yeah but lets say i dont have dance up for that situation.
i guess its a result of bad gameplay and have to plan ahead, happened to me once in an eco dome and burned my coup by mistake

left ledge
#

So prio dying shouldn’t matter

solid vale
#

Does Atrophic Poison still Stack?

Outside of dance, just send

If you don’t have dance then you shouldn’t worry about maximizing fazed for your coup

i see. so just send

#

Yeah you do piss damage out of dance anyways

Like actual piss damage

potent valve
#

!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".

left ledge
#

If cds are coming up your damage is so bad that it can be worth it to hold coup for 20 seconds for flag

#

In fact you’ll commonly see that in logs

placid elk
#

i had dance coming and thought "nice i can 2x coup and get so much flawless form stacks before the dance".
burned coup.
realized i didnt have fazed up
dead

left ledge
#

Nah never play it that way

#

You don’t really game flawless form unless you’re dancing back to back even then it’s kinda just playing itself

placid elk
#

so when holding coup you just do bp single target?

left ledge
#

No you press nothing until cds unless it’s like aoe and you’re about to dance in a few seconds

#

If I proc coup but I’m about to dance sure I’ll hold it for a couple seconds

#

But generally if you’re holding coup it’s for cds

#

In which case if it is low target count you just HOLD

#

Like you actually just sit at full combo points spamming backstab

#

I forget what the command was tbh

#

!cds

wicked joltBOT
#

Cooldown Use:
Every 90 seconds you want to cast Flagellation and subsequently Shadow Blades. When these two are up you always want cast 2 Symbols of Death, 2 Shadow Dances and 2 Secret Techniques.
To ensure you have enough cooldown reduction on your Shadow Dance to attain that you need atleast 1 charge and roughly 30 seconds left on your second charge before casting Flagellation.

left ledge
#

Nope

#

!flag

#

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

It is pretty much a completely different spec

do a vanish in between dances

its still not less damage taken or more healed

unless this is a 16's+ thing

If you're outliving DKs

Their kit is just more survivability than rogue, even if u have 25% vers.

that class is invulnerable

this has been a recurring thing tho

lotta bad players out there

it might change in 16's or something but i'm not taking more damage or healing less

I'm not saying sub isn't alright at living or anything but DKs are crazy tanky

#

yeah good point and you are doing the hardest keys in the game mhm

#

which deal the most sustained damage

#

and require people to use their kit or brick

dusk stone
#

i did say it might change in 16's

#

but what am i suppose to do with data y'know if its not telling me a thing

astral axle
#

It isn't data

#

they are anecdotes

dusk stone
#

54 of them lol

#

How many 16s

#

do you think were completed

#

since you started doing 16s

#

How many keys above 12 do you think are completed?

shrewd lantern
#

its open world experiences

#

kind of like how i gank any male belf players

#

because i know they gonna die in 5 gcds max

astral axle
#

and to be clear I'm not arguing like your experiences or whatever didn't happen haha

#

But the thought that doing 54 keys and some DKs you've had didn't use their kit to take less damage or whatever and therefore DK and sub rogue is similar survivability

#

is pretty limited in methodology to reach that conclusion no?

acoustic matrix
#

16 is where I saw a big jump in difficulty

Pretty much anyone remotely trying and decent at the game can get 3300

  • 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.

Is the rule still 30 seconds on holding CDs with 4 pc, or can you send a Dance with like 20-25 seconds?

hazy breach
#

Its not a hard rule

#

But the 4p does not affect it much

#

Also generally all recommendations are made assuming you have the 4p

tired dome
#

Okay, was just wondering if it changed, since coup seems to give a ton of CDR to Dance

hazy breach
#

Its not that much

#

Its one extra dance every 10-11 minutes

mental dune
#

would someone be able to explain why forge + prism isso much more popular in raid and m+ than prism + one of the various good equips
shocked to see how popular it is
its been simming lower for me

native zodiac
#

mostly just to pad on adds/for dmg amps

hazy breach
#

Droptimizer often gets a stroke when doing double on-uses

#

Make sure youre simming top gear

frigid ingot
hazy breach
#

Theyre usually pretty much the same as passives on ST sims

frigid ingot
#

The trinket from dawn + prism sims better than Prism + Araz for me.

#

Are they using double on-use for AOE packs?

mental dune
#

ahhhhhhh ok the droptimizer comment probably explains a lot
now need to start telling my rl that the wowaudit numbers are iffy lmao

hazy breach
#

If its like -3%

#

Thats why

#

But sometimes it works

flint parrot
#

@hazy breach sir do you have a wa to track current holy paladin's blessing? to know when he have autumn and track it

hazy breach
#

No

#

Seems unnecessary

mental dune
#

n then forge pulls ahead in aoe because you dont really care to do more damage between cds?

hazy breach
#

Kind of the opposite

#

In ST more of your damage is tied to cds than it is in aoe

obtuse shard
#

For p3 dim, Do I just macro /target dimmy shadowstep to get to the boss quick?

hazy breach
#

Idk if you want to, doesnt really matter that much

#

Making sure you have coup, supercharger and some shadow technique stacks coming down is way more impactful

obtuse shard
#

I see, thank you

Assuming 704 Netherprism, would a 704 Araz trinket be better than a 723 Anthena on Nexus/Dimensius/M+? Is there a way i can sims that?

vast tusk
#

does anyone know why sometimes rupture procs for 40+ seconds but sometimes 50+ seconds even when I have maxed combo points and 2 supercharged ones?

halcyon pendant
vast tusk
#

now that you mention it, maybe the top up one makes it 50+ seconds

#

is there a passive for this that I didn't know about?

#

There's a command on the sin channel not sure if its here regarding pandemic

#

!pd

wicked joltBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

I would say antenna, especially if your forge is 20 ilvls lower, because most guilds now are aiming to kill the boss before 3 min in p3

tribal blade
#

apparently the estimated miss rate is ~30% on those bosses, but you can't factor in the amps

hazy breach
#

And you generally end up stopping dps in all the other phases

#

Once you get comfortable

#

Also I got my first combat log. Is this okay or bad "44.4% of your Shadow Dance casts were good." "60.0% of your Symbols of Death casts were good." "66.7% of your Rupture casts were good." What do you guys make of this?

yea dont try that one

#

oh uh any advice for killing the phaseblades on myth soulbinder?

#

is it worth hard swapping to one, holding cd's or just trying to cleave off boss?

cerulean canyon
#

hello sub rogues.... I'm trying to compare my logs to others. and one of the biggest differences i'm seeing is the amount of Nimble Flurry I have compared to most others. (I'm on the low side) I think I'm not understanding how the to proc Nimble Flurry more?

hazy breach

#

phaseblades are on Soulbinder if im not mistaken not Araz

Yeah

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
#

Idk save cds for adds if you want to pad, dont if you want to kill the boss faster

azure thicket
#

no that's a great answer

worldly remnant
#

They should die with cleave, maybe first big add set has some still up if your DPS is low when the boss moves

azure thicket
#

we got it to 30% to skip last add phase but heals fell behind due to how long they lived

steady dune
#

Whats the best comp for M+ with a rogue? Im assuming shammy and druid, but would a monk or warrior tank be better?

azure thicket
#

ye we have like 3 warlocks and no monks rn thanks though

hazy breach
#

In terms of buffs warrior is the best, followed by shaman and monk

worldly remnant
#

They will hurt the tanks if left up, you might need to switch if they are living too long

steady dune
#

so is War tank, monk healer, balence druid, ele shammy just goated?

#

but i guess the casters wouldnt be very happy about it lol

hazy breach
#

If literally all you care about is the buffs

#

Then yeah sure

Cold Blood bug:
A common issue when switching between Assassination Fatebound and Subtlety is that Cold Blood stops working, this problem is solvable with the following step:

got it - anything else major?

lucid jackal
#

You didn't supercharge your sectec

#

Ur also pressing storm a lot

ah, yeah FoK reflexes since that used to be lower energy in sin over mut. Anything else or is that pretty much it?

Hello all, i have been trying to understand the multi target "rotation" on wowhead but im being left so confused, it doesnt mention Nimble Flurry at all. I would've thought if i have stacks of flawless form then i should be using eviscerate instead of black powder up to 8 targets no?

wicked joltBOT
#

General Gist of the Aoe rotation

  • At ALL target counts cast Coup de Grace when it is ready.
  • At ALL target counts cast Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance, not Shuriken Storm. (unless coup is ready, !coup)
  • Cast Black powder instead of regular Eviscerate at 4 or more targets (there is no other secret rule).
void condor
#

what is a "regular" eviscerate? or just not coup de grace?

#

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
