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.
north schooner
#

warning signs is named like that because you clicked on the wrong talent

#

how about they introduce a hidden gcd reduction while in shadow dance which is based on your haste PEPW

swift tinsel
#

or haste gives double value to auto attack swing timer

#

or scaling to snd

#

more sht

#

then remove the AA part of skyfury for sub like it is for ret

sullen hare
#

if we could get a talent that gives us the same auto attack buff that skyfury does I'd be happy

swift tinsel
#

thrash blade as a talent

swift tinsel
#

honestly I'm personally fine getting solid value from 3 out of 4 secondaries

keen dome
#

Almost everything is good in some way, it's great

swift tinsel
#

and the whole 'not being tied to lust' part is awesome

#

with our given haste relationship

#

wouldn't be mad if the added some kind of haste thing for us but I'm fine if they don't

hazy breach
#

Good thing they made "amps" this season be damage taken increases rather than more haste garf_sit

keen dome
#

big fan of more damage done

fossil imp
#

when running first dance, should i try to send 2nd sec tec (with cb) during the first dance (with new symbols)?

swift tinsel
#

yeah haste buffs in raid from mechanics are doodoo and need to stay away

#

looking at you sark

hazy breach
#

(and you supercharge it)

#

Theres no "you must hit it at this exact moment or youll do zero damage", its just

#

Press it whenever its ready

earnest jetty
#

Sec tech big dam

#

no cd

#

press many time

fossil imp
#

yeah but what i meant is should i try to fit it during the first dance

earnest jetty
#

you should

#

press it off cd

#

the answer is pretty concise no?

fossil imp
#

thx

earnest jetty
#

nws have fun blasting

fossil imp
#

cause i feel like its kinda inconsistent, rng dependant and i might be hitting it just when dance expires

#

i hate first dance lol

stoic pier
#

What non-lethal poisons should i be running on 13+ keystones? Atrophic or Numbing?

earnest jetty
#

first dance is great when you use it imo

#

sucks trying to get it up sometimes

#

you probably are missing autos or wasting a gcd during it

lucid jackal
#

Most ppl default to atro but crippling has value if Ur comp doesn't have big slows for gambit and halls

earnest jetty
#

should be getting 2 sec tech in first dance

lucid jackal
#

With all the mobs that run around

surreal crypt
#

hey so in ur cooldowns you gotta press shuriken storm after the first coup cast , but do we do that even when you get full combopoints back after the first coup?

earnest jetty
#

no

swift tinsel
#

nope

swift tinsel
#

only if you need cp

earnest jetty
#

its specifically to avoid wasting your hidden blade proc

#

or w/e its calle

#

if you can evis-evis with max cp to eat coup you do that everytime

surreal crypt
#

alright tnx guys

lucid jackal
#

Ya*

#

Mobs murlocs in gambit run away when low hp, same with halls

#

U can swap poisons mid run so might as well run them if Ur comp has no slows for when its iseful

#

Same way u swap to wound poison for miniboss before last boss in halls

Do I have to run around and collect the orbs from Antena or I will be ait if I just wait them to reach me? In CD windows I think I would have to run around and catch them

graceful osprey

#

do i ever use secret outside of cds and outside of shadow dance?

glass cape
#

golly this spec does alot of damahe within its cds...

#

outside of my cds i feel like im just helping

north schooner
signal plume
north schooner
#

because stats other than mastery also do damage

lucid jackal
#

Because there aren't binary stat caps like you are describing

#

As u get more stats, other stats gain value

north schooner
#

sometimes having a balance between stats is better than having just 1 stat

if you want to take shuriken tornado, what would you sacrifice for it?

Or veiltouched

5% increased magic damage is a big sacrifice, isn't it

ancient kraken
#

maybe dumb question but do we use black powder in shadow dance? doesnt feel right with nimble furry or am i wrong

#

or at what cound do it use black powder over evis?

we use black powder at +4 targets

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.

oh so there is "new" tech

oblique burrow
#

Then why does it sims lower than prism antenna on raidbots ?

#

In ST(didnt test dungeon slice)

vale pine
#

because its worse on a patchwerk fight

#

the upside of it is in dungeons or specific boss fights

#

the ability to align these bigger stat budget to add spawns or damaeg events

#

or big pulls

#

antenna or similar all end up main stat trinket too

#

which give you more static damage always

#

trinkets with main stat have more power put into the main stat than the proc effects

runic hull
#

anyone using build with nado? I find it easier to fit the second teq inside of the 1st dance with it, any tips without nado?

lilac stag
#

You’re not using tornado during dance.

fast iron
#

hi guys ^^ wowhead suggests we play 1 on use and 1 passive, but my friend says sub rogues NEED 2 on use trinkets

#

is that correct?

little scaffold
#

iirc antenna also sims with no misses unless you change the settings for it

runic hull
lilac stag
runic hull
#

how am I supposed to use it?

lilac stag
#

For CDR to spread rupture or BP outside of CDs

#

Only time we cast Storm in dance is as a building between coups

#

Our “aoe” is still using strike in dance.

runic hull
#

nado not storm

north schooner
#

brother you don't use nado during your blades, how does it help you with your 2nd sectec?

runic hull
#

because it casts every sec

#

instead of every 1.5

#

Ive seen casual use it in burst window and was wondering any other tips using it, or tips without it to fit both secteqs in 1 dance

north schooner
#

rogue gcd is 1s not 1.5s, what's that 1.5?

lilac stag
runic hull
#

ah ok, not sure why he was using it in burst window then

#

but said it was easier for him to fit sec teq

#

tried it and also noticed the same thing maybe just placebo effect

#

but was curious about it

lilac stag
#

Nado is storm storm storm. so he’s getting slightly quicker CDR, but less dps. kekdog

runic hull
north schooner
#

it can be that it you get more cdr out of it, but that's not the only factor. You lose a lot of damage by not having shadowstrikes because that also affects UB and coup procs

#

your dance window isn't just for sectec

lilac stag
#

It doesn’t matter for what you’re giving up. You’re getting no UB from it.

runic hull

how do i make a thread for a log review? trying to get better at sub, i feel like im missing something

north schooner

lilac stag
#

You want 2 sectechs in TFD you have to typically do prepull bullshit or have good rng.

#

!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.
lilac stag
#

You’re casting your second Sectech right at the end of dance and following it up immediately with another dance.

runic hull
#

ok so sec teq is like inbetween lets say

north schooner
#

it can fit entirely within the 1st dance with TFD but it depends on rng

runic hull
lilac stag
runic hull
#

ok

#

I see

shrewd lantern
#

rng is unseen blade

north schooner
lilac stag
#

and by using nado in dance you’re missing out on UB and that what you want for cb Sectech

shrewd lantern
#

sometimes you just get 4 coups in a single dance

#

and dunk the boss completely

runic hull
#

ok I see

lilac stag
#

Hopefully it makes sense. I’m exhausted

runic hull
#

I was wondering the rng things but wasnt entirely sure

north schooner
#

also this isn't something important. It's ok if your 2nd sectec is in the second dance

lilac stag
#

Not sure text is clear

shrewd lantern
#

biggest rng is just unseen blade

runic hull
#

Im finding tea build to be more managable then CB

shrewd lantern
#

If you spam sure

fast iron
#

hi guys ^^ wowhead suggests we play 1 on use and 1 passive, but my friend says sub rogues NEED 2 on use trinkets

is that correct?

shrewd lantern
#

Not a hard need

north schooner
#

both are viable

shrewd lantern
#

the two on use combination is forge and prism

fast iron
#

he was like "any good sub will play double on use and stuff like antenna is giga troll"

shrewd lantern
#

nothing else really is nearly as effective

fast iron
#

i mean i have lily + a 691 delve trinket (The one that gives vers and looks like a necklace)

#

im not really geared or anything yet

north schooner
#

if you don't have prism + forge then stick to 1 passive imo

shrewd lantern
#

^

runic hull
#

is CB build better used with rotten or without?

shrewd lantern
#

Either works

lilac stag
#

Rotten isn’t really needed

runic hull
#

its very easy to spread FW with rotten tho in aoe

#

whats the other efficient way of spreadding it without rotten?

lilac stag
#

at 710+ we spread FW quite easily without it

runic hull
#

ok, and do you find the point in finality to be overall more woth it then?

lilac stag
#

Yes

#

but people will debate that. It’s overall minor

shrewd lantern
#

I’ve played both and can barely tell a diff

#

one gives a bit more oomf to shadowstrikes one gives more to finishers

north schooner
#

it's a preference thing

shrewd lantern

obviously i already looked into guides.

lilac stag

There’s a lot of “feels” in m+ play

summer vale
rigid remnant
#

acronyms are bit touhg sometimes, and to be fair, find weaknes isnt a big talking poitn in any of the guide rotation pages

summer vale
#

i think it's mostly preference, might depend a bit on dungeon as well

lilac stag
#

It’s not dungeon dependent. It’s off early season info that was explored, and new approaches were found. You’re fine playing either one.

Subtlety Macros:

The following macros are an exception:

/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Araz's Ritual Forge

why the eviscerate first? the other guide go straight into ruptures

#

to get SnD rolling

#

should prolly add a disclaimer to skip it if SnD is up already

#

i have played s3 yet but why is flag so late

#

omg what i forget how to play sub if i skip a season of wow

rigid remnant
#

right now im jsut hitting the dummies and i obviously dont have any good grasp on it but doesnt shadowstriking on 4+ targets isntead of shuriken storm without shadowblades "feel" really bad? to use 2+ builder so i get less finisher into my dance?

tepid trellis
#

unfortunately Storm does 0 dmg and doesent interact with our hero talent

#

so during dance its always shadowstrike

rigid remnant
#

since i hav eu here, i guess this line is from deathstalker?

#

its under "general playstyle"

tepid trellis
#

yeh it was something DS used to do

#

but DS is dead af, so could prolly just remove it

rigid remnant
#

i mean u already say its probably not worth doing but jsut i udnerstadn it correct. i use 1 backstab jsut for 1 stacsk flawless form so 3% dmg?

north schooner
tepid trellis
#

inside of dance you backstab as first builder (can skip if high target count)
or its something you can do while out of dance below 4 targets to try and get flawless form running for evis cleave

rigid remnant
#

i get the feeling sub isnt the specc for a bit of casual twink keys 😄

tepid trellis
#

it has a high floor

rigid remnant
#

or maybe im just old and washed

tepid trellis
#

but also alot of the "minmaxes" are all just a bunch of 0,5% things

#

generally speaking as long as you do dances correct

#

you are like 85% of the way there

rigid remnant
#

does holding coup and sitting on combopoints for shadwotechnique count towards correct dances?

tepid trellis
#

eh

#

not really

rigid remnant
#

all the buffs like fazed, and flawless form etc. feel complicated but i guess most if it works passively when im playing correct right?

tepid trellis
#

also holding coup is mostly for single target

rigid remnant
#

do i need i unseen blade cooldown wa? my package (luxthos) does not have it

tepid trellis
#

nope

rigid remnant
#

appreciate the help btw. while im certainly not highlevel, i played s2 on 3750 and enjoy theorycrafting. but i tend to ask questions before playing 😄

ah yeah and then just let backstab be your next generator i reckon

but its largely w/e really

tepid trellis

#

yeah other than the "during blades between coups" rule

#

ty my friend

rigid remnant
#

do i cold blood between major cd's? its hardly aligns with dance/secrettech to have it up in time for next cooldowns or is it me doing something wrong?

tepid trellis
#

nah just always rip it on the 2nd sectech

#

in cds

shut burrow
#

ye i literally never press CB except for the second cd sectec and my dmg in raid is v good

rigid remnant
#

the shuriken storm between coup, is it only in shadow blades or every dance? guides say different thingsi think

tepid trellis
#

shadowblades or with 4 targets or more

shut burrow
#

but ONLY that one time between coups is the big thing

#

never more than once during dance

rigid remnant
#

follwoing this i do it, in blades, but not in solo dance, but again outside of dance?

#

nvm

#

read it wrong its late

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: ** You can hold coup up to ~20 secounds and stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. The later is used 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.
rigid remnant
#

"them"=major cooldowns

#

but it stil suggest u do it outside wiht tierset

#

which contradicts ur answer^^

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.

alright ty

hazy breach
#

Like the 4p only lasts a few seconds so if you dont get to full cp

#

Thats fine

#

Just send at lower cp

#

Even if you send at 1 cp its still effectively a 6 cp finisher

dense swallow
#

makes sense thats what i assumed

hazy breach
#

Likewise if you supercharge it and have 7 combo points when you cast coup it would count as 7+3+5=15 combo points spent

dense swallow
#

oh ok so more than 7 points does exist

#

Yes

dense swallow
#

thats where the big dps comes from

lilac pendant
#

#

one to rupture and one to sec tec

Always supercharge sectech

#

thats why sectech goes early on dance?

hazy breach
#

No, thats because of trickster'

#

A lot of the power of sectech is in disorienting strikes

vast tusk
#

what's the passive that sometimes regenerates full combo points after a finisher?

vagrant sigil
#

shadowcraft

vast tusk
#

I never understood that one. What does it mean when it says "Shadow Techniques triggers 40% more frequently" and "Stores 1 additional combo point"?

north schooner
#

Shadow Techniques is a passive that you have

#

it improves that passive

fleet wharf

so does it make it go from 28 -> 40 or 28-> 68?

vast tusk
#

ohh that makes sense. I got it mixed up with Secret Techniques

hazy breach
#

Although 28% is not technically not wrong, its not just 28% chance for it to happen on every auto.

#

First auto has 0% proc chance, Second has 0% proc chance, third has 50% proc chance and fourth has 100% proc chance

#

Which averages out to 28% chance

#

With shadowcraft specced and symbols up its instead First 0%, second 50%, third 100%

#

Which averages to roughly 40% more

#

Nothing to do really do with this info, but hey, now you know

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.

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.

why does it feel like i do less damage getting ruptures up before i open with big cds vs when i just shadowstrike in and pop em ?

fiery rampart
#

im at 2966

lucid jackal
#

Mainly stuff like prism/actual pull count

#

rupturing should only be done while grouping or between Cds tho

#

U shouldnt delay Cds to rupture

quiet smelt
#

ok because i see in opener they have you fok + rupter during flag

#

but thought setting up ruptures before popping cds would be good since they all get buffed?

lucid jackal
#

It is but if you were to spread ruptures every time before Cds, you'd probably miss 3+ flags a dungeon yk

#

Like ur opener should still be strike flag rupture

#

But u shouldnt be spamming ruptures after flag

quiet smelt
#

gotcha

glass cape
#

But what if rupture is fun?

lethal glen
#

Is there a thread to ask for help/coaching? Having issues with dps and want some help figuring it out

quiet smelt
#

like priory for example first pull... you wait for group then normal opener in ? or are you spreading ruptures as its all grouping then popping cds

lucid jackal
#

Just tricks the tank, and start rupturing shit

#

When they are all grouped, use all CDs

quiet smelt
#

right i feel like i do less dmg that way

#

then just waiting for group and popping everything

#

thats where im confused

You are in combat for longer so dps might be lower but overall dmg to the pack should be higher

Guys I'm trying to impress my raid leader tonight for mythic raid trials.

We are doing Loomithar, Soul Hunters and Fractillus heroic.

Should I stick with sub for all 3 fights, or switch to assas to look better on the DPS meters?

lucid jackal
#

probs sin for frac and loom

#

sub for soul hunters

wispy crystal

Mix of Vers/Mast and some crit

Sin isn't picky like sub is

So you can use sub gear for sin

wispy crystal

I'll do assas for

Loom - assas
Soulhunter - sub
Fractillus - assas

For Mythic plexus, assas is also more superior to sub right? Pure ST fight

only thing assa really wants is crit

#

FB assa really likes it

wispy crystal

yeh it will be fine, but also Assa and sub isnt different in terms of output on single target

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).
short radish
#

!coup

wicked joltBOT
#

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: ** You can hold coup up to ~20 secounds and stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up on Single Target. The later is used 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.

  • 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.

For hardmode you can prep everything if you want

#

Cleaving the adds is the way

warm marlin
#

Yeah take it from our 3 failed hm runs in a row

#

Just kill the adds

#

Cc’ing them is way harder especially depending on your comp

short radish
#

yeah

#

adds have 50m hp

#

just kill them

warm marlin
#

I would also recommend a better comp than brew mist warlock sp rogue

Lemme tell you double rop into void tendril into aoe blind went simply hard (they ran around the rop and meleed our cloth wearers to death)

#

for soulbinder Mythic - for the knockback, can we shadowstep and the puddles drop where we cast the step from?

#

or does the puddle drop where the shadowstep lands (on top of the boss which will be bad)?

keen dome
#

They drop where the shadowstep lands IF you step while in the air

#

You can step as soon as the puddle appears after you land from the knockback

wispy crystal
#

thank you

keen dome
#

Ye, it's def not something I did in my first pug kill dracthyr_kek

#

What I do is get knocked, wait to land, make sure I see the goop, and then step.

@tepid trellis quick question about your dimmy kill pov if you dont mind - do you think skipping rupture in amp like you did is the best way to guarantee 2nd sectech fits?

hazy breach
#

You can easily fit 2 sectechs anyway given that you prepped

maiden oar
#

im considering pooling coup from the dance on 2nd voidwarden on 2nd platform and sending potentially an extra symbols to farm up sht stacks instead but i watched your pov where you did the rupture thing and thats infinitely more straightforward

#

ah ok

#

i think if i dont coup in that dance and i press symbols right after i still enter p3 with 3x symbols almost

hazy breach
#

Yea

maiden oar
#

so i was going to do that on monday

#

but the stealthi pov got me rethinking

hazy breach
#

The rupture does roughly the same amount of damage as an eviscerate does during the amp

#

So it doesnt matter that much, but it also continues ticking after right

maiden oar
#

ah ok

hazy breach
#

So it is better

#

But if you didnt prep you'd have to skip it

maiden oar
#

i was looking @ logs and no one was prepping the way i wanted to test so i just assumed i was overthinking it

#

but yeah ill give it a try on monday

#

bc in my head its really good nukochortle

limpid sage
hazy breach
#

I mean its not worth it in the general opener, so i dont see why it would be better here

#

To use sectech immediately

maiden oar
#

actually one guy was half doing it but he didnt send the symbols for sht farm

limpid sage
#

Because of the dmg amp

maiden oar
#

but he was pooling the coup so i feel ok about that @ least

hazy breach
#

You get sectech inside the amp anyway

#

So

#

It doesnt matter

#

So the comparison is between an eviscerate and a rupture

limpid sage
#

You can’t lowroll it if you prep? I feel like it’s been super tight for me except when I sent sectec first

maiden oar
#

did you ever want to send symbols by itself to farm sht before this tier

limpid sage
#

Ya ig so

maiden oar
#

or is this a new development due to fight design

limpid sage
maiden oar
#

ah ok

limpid sage
#

When holding dmg

maiden oar
#

i felt like a genius figuring it out natty at end of dimmy p1

hazy breach
maiden oar
#

but maybe im slow

hazy breach
#

Most of the time

maiden oar
#

and i shouldve been aware way earleir

hazy breach
#

So its not particularly tight

limpid sage
maiden oar
#

yes

#

its funny

tribal blade
#

tested this prep stuff on heroic and doing real numbers now

maiden oar
#

i thought i was dead the first time i did it

tribal blade
#

it's good shit

limpid sage
#

Same here xd

hazy breach
#

Just get into p3 with 2 superchargers, 10+ sht and coup ready

#

And its easy money

maiden oar
#

is this more secret info

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Nah dont have the time for that unless you do literally nothing on the second set of adds

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

But you could

tribal blade
#

like if you mistime it you're boned

#

but i managed to make it work thank god

hazy breach
#

I dont think it matters much though since youll be going flag>rupture>backstab (guaranteed natty proc anyway since its more than 20s since you hit) > sectech > get disorienting again

#

So youre saving the natty proc for until after disorienting

maiden oar
#

is there a secret trick to target dimmy as youre falling

hazy breach
#

But youre likely to get a natty reset by that time anyway because BL

maiden oar
#

he doesnt seem to want to cooperate

hazy breach
#

You cant target him until you land

maiden oar
#

grim

#

if youre doing the slice and dice stuff for nexus king do you have to do it really early to still get sht or is it not that bad

tribal blade
#

this is some of the most degen stuff i can remember from playing sub

tribal blade
maiden oar
#

ah ok

#

i will try it when i am free from extend prison

#

i redid my keybinds just for this

maiden oar
#

i love nonsense like this

tribal blade
#

yeah i think this isn't so bad tbh

#

it makes sense

maiden oar
#

i probably would like outlaw too

gotta learn that guy before midnight

hey guys, quick question, if I wanna learn the spec better, would it be safe to open a simc full html report and look at the apl section?
(I assume the guides are written with that in mind?)

hazy breach
#

I would recommend reading the guides instead

chrome palm
#

damn i do not have time to prep at all

#

very close in my group

lilac stag
#

have you tried just prepping harder?

chrome palm
#

we have wiped to nullbinder last set numerous times

hazy breach
#

Well you still do damage to the nullbinders

empty plume
#

I read (past tense) the APL

hazy breach
#

Its just after they die you symbols and just auto

empty plume
#

kinda worth doing exactly once, to understand what the sim is doing exactly

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

And maybe you could BP instead of coup for your last finishers in dance

empty plume
#

think for yourself and explain pls

lilac stag
#

it's one example from the sequence. if you're actually pulling the apl out of the report and reading that, just read the guide

empty plume
#

ah, you don't know what APL means

#

like, I had to read the APL in order to make edits and test alternative playstyle options

void ocean
#

lol

lilac stag
#

i know what it means, and the sample sequence is often misunderstood for it

empty plume
#

the Action Priority List is the code

void ocean
#

damn scath, learn what an apl is

empty plume
#

the code that goes in

#

not the one iteration that comes out

#

that is a sim result

lilac stag
#

also the current apl isnt current unless eleem pushed the latest aoe stuff

#

but yolo and have at it

#

your time

warm marlin
#

were you holding coup for the nullbinder dance?

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

hmm might be it

empty plume
hazy breach
#

Dont think you have the time to build again if you do

dry yarrow
#

and Id rather just go straight to the source

chrome palm
#

my comp is very bad at the last set i dont think i have that liberty to hold there

#

unfort

hazy breach
#

Idk its not really holding

#

Youre skipping a few non-dance eviscerates

empty plume
#

the APL is just the currently solved best playstyle given buff and debuff and resource checks, it creates what the sim does. If that is your style, go ahead and read it - but the code is not too friendly and will take more time to interpret the exact meaning versus reading a guide

lilac stag
#

fuu in shambles

#

regarding code

warm marlin
#

I’m not entirely convinced I’ll have a singular good prep for p3 before we kill

warm marlin
#

our p2 plat is still quite messy and without autumn your damage holds have to be so perfectly timed

vale pine
empty plume
#

I'd suggest reading a guide first - which I assume you've already done probably - and trying to interpret the APL off of that

#

it's easy to read, just assumes a basic understanding of logic operations (and it is much more brainpower than reading a guide that is designed to be easily interpreted)

The real struggle has been roster ngl

#

So many vacations rn

#

2nd warlock out all week and our backup warlock player is one of our eles 💀

#

what can do

lilac stag
#

our 2nd lock got burnout. what started as our holy paly, then backup MW, is now our 2nd lock.

#

so prot going brew, and me likely going woyer
