The Dks and hunters arent alternating it every 90s, theyre alternating every 45s or with 60s respectively

warm marlin
#

I think fdk does alternate eventually, its just scuffed at the start

#

because they actually have powerful 45s so it makes sense to send forge with one of them and double send prism on 130 and 3min, and alternate after that

#

so a bit more thinking than our stuff for sure

tribal blade
#

my raid team has been accusing me of fuciking up the bait on orbs on platforms on dimmy this entire time

#

and they just figured out i was right

#

one of the knockers was doing it

#

i have been redeemed

civic lake
#

!wa

maiden oar
#

i finally figured out what i was missing on dimmy

#

not perfect but im happy

maiden oar
#

i hear its dmg profile is similar but i assume its less flexible

#

is it still interesting to play or not as much

lilac stag
#

It’s 3 buttons instead of 9

maiden oar
warm depot
#

!wa

warm marlin
#

their damage outside of cds is also quite a bit better than sub's

#

though not really great

maiden oar
#

is it stronger than 2 dances

#

b2b

#

like in a situation such as dimmy platform if they do 45s pillar and i do 2 dances am i the best or are they

warm marlin
#

their 45s are quite frontloaded so it depends on when you both press

maiden oar
#

ah i see

#

tyty

warm marlin
#

if you can get both sectecs off it might be stronger

maiden oar
#

yeah i dont think i can hit the little guys with 2

#

impossible

#

fdk too strong

tribal blade
#

ok i'm gonna try not sending a 2nd cd set on P1 dimmy

#

because i'm landing on platform 1 with everything on cd for an eternity

maiden oar
#

works if ur not pushing pargoth insane fast

#

no autumn = hold for winds and fly very quickly

warm marlin
#

hold for winds???

#

what the helly

maiden oar
#

yeah for some reason our guild likes to push asap first phase and first platform and then wait for winds on pargoth

#

but it was a little strange bc of 2 buyers it was almost good to flag on artoshion but i think id have regretted it (or almost regretted it to the point where itd be too risky to go for it)

tribal blade
#

ok yeah holding for plat 1 is way better

#

just tried it

maiden oar
#

the way i was looking at it is that theres less competition for the adds if u flag on plat 2 instead of plat 1 (assuming 1 flag in p2) but that could be psychotic

#

are u getting a flag on pargoth too

tribal blade
#

nah i'm not flagging pargoth

#

no need

#

def won't get it back for burn

#

that platform is going pretty fast in my raid

warm marlin
#

we had a buyer and 2 dead and almost still pushed before winds

#

was like 1s off

#

plus pargoth flag is scuffed without autumn

#

blades is over by the time adds get in

maiden oar
#

yeah i got blades on my cb sectech on the adds

#

but not on the coup

#

but i think they died kinda as that coup was ticking

#

so could be worse perhaps

maiden oar
#

oh well goes out the window next week

maiden oar
wispy crystal
#

can anyone help me understand why Outlaw is superior to Sub for M Soul Hunters?

#

i tried outlaw in M+ and im literally doing half the DPS of my sub rogue

warm marlin
#

outlaw has very very strong low target cleave and it can shoot the bosses in the air during intermissions to pseudo spread cleave them like ranged can

maiden oar
#

thats insane

#

that hits 2/3 of the bosses only right

#

the middle guy and the air guy u shoot?

warm marlin
#

ye

maiden oar
#

ah ok thats still good and funny

warm marlin
#

its still also not really much better than sub

#

they are quite close

#

very much a play what you're better at fight

maiden oar
#

yeah

#

do u think next week u might need autumn on plexus if u skip the final intermission

#

i am coming to that conclusion and i dont like it

warm marlin
#

my raid doesnt do damage so no

maiden oar
#

oh ok

warm marlin
#

but yes autumn very op in that case

maiden oar
#

autumn works on lily right

warm marlin
#

no

maiden oar
#

oh...

#

antenna gaming...

warm marlin
#

im not even convinced skipping that intermission is good

maiden oar
#

i dont think its good

warm marlin
#

even with autumn you wont get full flag

maiden oar
#

i would rather not skip it

#

but i think it might happen

warm marlin
#

there is some very extreme cheese you can do

#

that i hope no one does this tier

maiden oar
#

oh also i have a predisorient question

warm marlin
#

on that fight specifically

maiden oar
#

if i theoretically used the mfo portal thing that activates with the skip and secteched one of the guys who flies in on a boat before salhadaar

#

and then teleported back to the main raid area would i keep disorient

maiden oar
warm marlin
#

i dont think you change instances

#

so it should be fine

#

ive never needed to do that tho

maiden oar
#

im doing rclc stuff and trading all the items

#

and sometimes i have to chase someone down outside of raid

#

so it helps if i miss trash

warm marlin
#

ah

#

there are some bug things by soul hunters that respawn

maiden oar
#

or the trash monsters

warm marlin
#

yeah

maiden oar
warm marlin
#

at the pavilion to the back left of them

maiden oar
#

i see

#

this spec requires so much knowledge

warm marlin
#

my goat predisorient anti variance machine I will always hunt down the location of every critter in the instance for you

maiden oar
#

yeah i hate getting the 3 stacker in my opener

#

well

#

i guess for dimensius also

#

u could take the portal to nexus king area and hit a boat man

#

if u didnt get to sectech before wipe

#

just tell them ur waiting on flag cd

warm marlin
#

dimensius i just cry and pray i proc 2p in opener if we ever die to devour or something

maiden oar
#

hehe

#

maybe i try the boat technique

warm marlin
#

its way too long a run no

maiden oar
#

i dont know where the teleport pad in dimensius room is

#

so i cant answer

#

if you can just take the tp to the docks whack a boater and tp back its fine

warm marlin
#

i dont think there is one

maiden oar
#

but i dont actually know where the tp pad is

#

oh thats grim

tepid trellis
#

Back left of the room

warm marlin
#

garf guess im blind

maiden oar
#

we are so back

tribal blade
#

ok i don't know anymore

#

if not sending 2nd cd set in P1 is better

#

it seems all over the place

#

fuck turbo boost

lilac stag
#

turbo boost is amazing

maiden oar
tribal blade
#

unsure what to do exactly

#

just seems fucked being 1:30 on dim now

tribal blade
#

ok talked to my RL and he thinks holding cd set for plat 1 is the move, so just gonna do that

#

since we have not many issues in P1 anymore, platforms are more fucked

maiden oar
tribal blade
#

whatever i parse, that's what i parse

#

i give up haha

maiden oar
#

glgl

tribal blade
#

no use getting tilted over something you can't control

maiden oar
#

yeah

#

assuming a boss with like 2:50 killtime how would i tell what trinket combo is ideal

#

could be forge passive or prism passive or forge prism

#

idk how to get sim to delay 2nd flag for forge

#

or for more prism stacks

tribal blade
#

hrm

#

forge on pull then send 2nd cd set with prism at ~2 mins?

#

no wait 2:30ish you can send 2nd cd set

#

bit before that

#

like 2:20-25

#

correct me if i'm completely wrong like a numpty

maiden oar
#

yeah

tribal blade
#

but i think forge+prsim would be best for that

#

since you get 1 on use per cd set

maiden oar
#

yea

#

probably that

#

but idk how good 2 forges w/ passive is

tribal blade
#

mmmm right right

#

good point

maiden oar
#

but we love prism

tribal blade
#

yeah it's pretty cracked

maiden oar
#

idk how to make robot delay 2nd flag for forge

#

it is too mysterious

tribal blade
#

no idea if it even will naturally haha

fossil forge
#

Inshallah we need to slay daddy dimmy before next raid buff

maiden oar
#

i think plexus killtime could be like really bad with final 3%

#

so im not sure how to make the best of a 3:00 or 2:5x kt

minor spruce
#

What's the usage of Netherprism?

fossil forge
#

With the extra 3% dimmy will be hella scuffed

ivory vigil

!prism

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
ivory vigil
#

does this here apply to m+ too? Or you hold prism for mega pulls? For example if the third pull is the biggest forge-forge(by holding SB for 30s) -prism

chrome palm
#

worse than wiping

maiden oar
#

and the number was higher than the final number

#

so maybe its not the end of the world next week

#

unless thats not what putting ur mouse @ 3:00 and dragging all the way left means

(my 41 parse reason) xd

jolly sleet

I love the spec, but planning a 24 seconds sequence to output one big sec tech is kinda overwhelming to me atm

last gate

play outlaw then

#

planning 32min sequence to output no damage

fun on its own way

yeah thats a really good feeling but sometimes it doesn't click anymore and u gotta leave to come back stronger 🙂

but my fingers wont agree with me

Well you lose all your damage If you fuck up your dances

tbh

idk how people managed

lol

fossil forge

7m is criminal though

jolly sleet

I played presvoker for the patch and I think I might come back to sub if its ok (yeah, "ok", not even "good") next tier because i really like the fantasy and shadowstrike

jolly sleet

yeah i've read the other chan, state is concerning but i'm hopeful

Abuse sub early play assa later garf_sit

i played sin in prog for the st bosses but now im just only playing sub bc its more fun and progs over

i am much happier

#

WE LOVE SUB

last gate
#

i played sin until 3k

maiden oar
#

well my guild wants me to stop playing sub on soulbinder

#

bc i kill all the adds and they cant parse

#

so maybe i dont get to play sub there

last gate
#

then started boosting +7 by sub ( i had 0 sub knowledge so i learned it in 7s)

jolly sleet

gotta push harder

maiden oar
#

i do the same timings every week

#

u can steal it

and become evil too

let me lock it in twin

#

U hold first cds no

#

Or wats the move even

#

I havent been on that boss for solong

maiden oar
#

this is my mrt note

maiden oar
#

im going 1x on use because there is only 1 flag that matters and i want it to be really big with antenna

#

this could be wrong but i do it

distant sage
fossil forge
#

Maybe forge antenna

maiden oar
#

the dance timers arent exact btw i try and have the sectech hit the second the ccanisters break

jolly sleet
maiden oar
#

9 stack prism (appprox 90s) is stronger than forge

distant sage
maiden oar
#

so if ur just playing for 2mins when all the dudes spawn

distant sage
#

and just autopiloted on it

maiden oar
#

12 stack prism is way better

fossil forge
#

Isnt 10 stacks prism 39k and forge is like

#

42

maiden oar
#

u could forge the first flag though

#

yeah but forge decays

#

and flag is bacckloaded

fossil forge
#

yep

maiden oar
#

bc of flawless form and flag mastery staccks

#

its why u get autumn instead of frost dk

fossil forge
#

Dont mention autumn.

maiden oar
#

hehe

#

but yeah ur backloaded so forge is less cool for u

#

idk though maybe 2x on use is fine on soulbinder

fossil forge
#

Ive been begging for hpal

maiden oar
#

i could be stupid

#

but the timings are about right

fossil forge
#

my old guild legit got hpal when i left

#

Just to trigger me

maiden oar
#

just try to dance in a way where u press sectech as the cast bar for the orbs that break the canisters finishes

#

if that makes sense

#

can hold globals to make it perfect

#

that is the secret

jolly sleet
maiden oar
#

in soulbinder

#

not in every situation hehe

fossil forge
#

u wanna try to hit the adds the later stech hit

#

But the adds go

#

Poof

maiden oar
#

if u press the sectech gcd right as the canisters break the clones will hit

#

there is no way

fossil forge
#

cant wait for reclears

#

(Time to cook up something racist)

maiden oar
#

this is the best picture i could get

#

im full cp and in the middle of going dance symbols sectech 123

#

and i didnt press sectech yet

fossil forge
#

U wait for beams to shoot?

maiden oar
#

yeah

#

castbars like here and i didnt start but im about to start in a tenth of a second

fossil forge
#

Its 1,5

#

Till it hits

#

No?

no

#

its basically instant after castbar finishes

if the boss is next to the canister

btw dont take my word as gospel about 1x on use i could be insane and wrong

steady coral
#

Question: why is it, that in higher keys (+19-20s) it varies so much with talents ppl use? Whats the reason some go cold blood instead of tea, and others rotten instead of one point in finality? I know it probably comes down to comp, dung, gear and key lvl - but is there a significant difference to change in terms of dmg, or does it come down to preferance since its so split in the top 10? I tried to find some answers, but havent found any yet. My sim says best talents in general is cold blood and rotten

hazy breach
#

Its not a significant change in terms of damage no

steady coral
ivory vigil
#

yes, for example if you lack priority damage in your team, you go cold blood for sectec and use eviscerate more than black powder, things like that

steady coral
#

Ye thats what I was thinking would be the reason in some keys. Ty for answers! 🙂

distant sage
#

less ver than crit doesnt really feel right

fossil forge
#

Im pretty sure i had higher crit than vers before i swapped gems

hazy breach
#

Side note thats not related to the damage talents

#

You should prob spec into improved wound and/or crippling for halls

#

Instead of unbreakable stride which does literally nothing

distant sage
#

noted noted

plush roost
#

Unbreakable stride my goat

#

2 curses go out in db first pull -30% boooom

i imagine unbreakable stride is good in pvp

-30% on all snares seems really nice

is araz and prism the best trinket comb in m+? 18+ keys?

hazy breach
#

Or prism+passive (antenna/pacemaker usually)

#

Either is fine

tribal blade
#

prism and antenna sims way better than forge+prism for me

#

and then you don't run into weird holding issues too

#

i had to set antenna to 80% miss rate for it to be worse than forge in dslice

#

last time i checked rio most high IO sub rogues are running prism+antenna now

#

nvm looks like forge is slightly more popular

wet echo

dumb question

#

is there an easy way to sim with vantus rune?

latent finch

Yes you can disable it here. But the default is always with rune

wet echo
#

that's aug rune

#

not vantus

hazy breach
#

Yeah you cant really easily sim the vantus rune

wet echo
#

i guess take top sim and reduce a bit of vers and add a bit more crit and mastery then

hazy breach
#

But it doesnt really matter much

wet echo

not much for sure

#

probably <0.05%

#

but was just wondering

we start from araz or 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.

!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.
sly shore
#

!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.

Sim consumables if you want the proper answer.

your gear matters more than what any of us do for emulation.

if you're using pots during keys (which you obviously should but it's expensive), it's always chaos

if you're not popping pots, you're better off with single stat flasks

@warm marlin new lily tech?

warm marlin
#

for some bosses

shrewd lantern
#

whats the reasoning?

warm marlin
#

either A: if you were to hold to forge the second flag, your third flag would be cut short by the boss dying (so kill timers between 3:15-3:40 ish are lily kill timers)
or B: it's araz, and you only get one forge with flag anyway, since you need to cast exactly at 0:20ish and 2:02ish

#

getting to lily flag 1 and flag 2 appears mildly better than just playing antenna according to my sims and then you don't have to play the minigame 🤓

shrewd lantern
#

are you just using lily on pull and 3mins in A

warm marlin
#

lily on pull and at 1:30, then prism last flag

shrewd lantern
#

oh yeah that makes sense

warm marlin
#

unless you are stupid and forget to hit prism before your blades macro so you use lily when you have 18 stacks of prism

#

dont know who would do that on fractillus this week

#

not me for sure

shrewd lantern
#

already have all my needed items so extra dinars are like

#

either buy lily to fuck around

#

or an offhand for 3 ilvl

warm marlin
#

lily was my dinar for that reason ye

#

think pacemaker is my second, there might be some potential

shrewd lantern
#

you had prism forge boots and antenna pre turbo?

warm marlin
#

yes

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i bought forge first

#

pace was my literal first vault

hazy breach
#

I bought prism garf_sit

warm marlin
#

we got infinite leather boots

#

i was like the 3rd last in the guild to get them

shrewd lantern
#

we had double drop twice

#

and the second double only one leather didnt have

hazy breach
#

We also got infinite leather boots, just from fractilus instead of soul hunters

warm marlin
#

love those things

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i was like

warm marlin
#

i ripped prism then forge out of myth vault back to back right as NK prog ended

#

🐐

shrewd lantern
#

its prob troll to buy an offhand with dinars

#

and uhh dimmy ring is no good

warm marlin
#

meh what else u gonna spend on

#

i dont have any ideas for my third

shrewd lantern
#

lily to fuck around ig

warm marlin
#

pacemaker is a maybe this will be useful at some point

shrewd lantern
#

or just buy the db wep

hazy breach
#

Pacemaker+Forge for the 2:30 kill timers

warm marlin
#

yep

#

maybe dimensius

shrewd lantern
#

ngl i barely look at antenna buff

#

except once i was in an fg weekly

and i saw 5 orbs spawn on last boss

this is just the peak of 1st world problems where im considering to dinar for 3 offhand ilvls

do i need to recraft the writhing band to focusing lens or does it work like having 2x?

How long range does sectech have around the main target?

Is it known because its not displayed in tooltip

hazy breach
#

I mean its technically 8 yards

#

But that doesnt matter because where those 8 yards originate from depend on the hitbox of the boss

#

Its more a case of "on this boss you cant cleave with sectech"

bright elk

We can cleave sectec from the living mass to dimmy but not the other way around right?

yes

my dps is bad in keys / aoe

im doing opener properly like it is in guide

logs generally help with that. Use coup whenever you can, if you have more than 4 targets, use black powder

tribal blade

like it got noticable worse once i started playing m+ tea build

yeah i do that

hazy breach

Every single blades window should be like the opener

#

No exception

tulip folio
#

yeah sometimes i pop blades when my dance is on cd

#

but i feel like if dont ill contribute low dps to pull and pack wont die fast so we fail key

warm marlin
#

I don't think theres a single flag in that log outside of the very first one that remotely resembles the opener. your burns are being massively griefed with dead globals, casting dance then flag sending flag as a dead global inside dance and blades, not holding charges enough, etc.

hazy breach
#

You generally dont delay blades, you skip dancing earlier

!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.
hazy breach
#

As a rule of thumb if flag has ~25s or so left of its cd, dont press dance or symbols

#

Can go up to like 30-35 to start of with to make sure

tulip folio
#

so i have to always have at least 1 set of dance and mark for blades

hazy breach
#

2

short radish
#

1.5 dance and 1.3 symbols

tulip folio
#

and i should send flagg befor i go into dance right

tulip folio
hazy breach
#

You always want to use 2 during, so you need roughly what fimbul said at the moment you press flag

#

Stacks

short radish
#

half of a dance

#

is 30 seconds

tulip folio
#

ah ok i get it

short radish
#

0.3 of symbols is like 9 seconds

fleet wharf
short radish
#

sub doesnt amke sense

#

until it does

#

then it makes perfect sense

tulip folio
#

ok so lts say im in dungeon right

#

pull 1 i send my opener full cds

fleet wharf
#

but to add onto what fimb said, stop pressing dances once you have 30 sec left on flag cd

tulip folio
#

then comes pull 2 i have dance mark up

#

but no flag blades

short radish
#

you are better wasting a dance for 10 seconds

tulip folio
#

do i just hold dance ?

#

or send it

short radish
#

then doing flag and not having 2 dances

fleet wharf
#

and forget about sending naked sec techs, that seems to be fucking some things up too

warm marlin
fleet wharf
warm marlin
#

if you have almost 2 charges of dance and flag is 30s away, you can send. if flag is 15s away and you have 1 charge of dance and are 45s away from the next, you cant

tulip folio
#

ok ok

hazy breach
#

Subs rotation revolves around making sure you can always use 2 sectech, 2 dances and 2 symbols during shadowblades

tulip folio
#

lts say i finish first pull my blades and flag are 35 sec cd for example im approaching scound pull i have 1.5 shadow dances

#

what do i do

#

do i just spread rupture black powder ?

fleet wharf
#

just hold

#

or try sending it and see if it fucks up your cds

#

i mean in that situation you can prolly send a dance+symbols and hold your flag for like 5 sec or so until you have everything up going into next cd

tulip folio
#

ok so what i get from this is that my biggest problem atm is sending sblades flag wwhen i dont have dance mark or both

#

and i spend my cds not fully going into opener like when i have everything up

fleet wharf
#

you can't just press all your cds and expect it to do everything for you

fleet wharf
#

basically, every single one of your big cd usage needs to look the same

#

essentially, that's it. Everythingn else you do is to make it so you can get clean cds off

tulip folio
#

hm is it okay to play with shadow dance symbols macro

#
  • tea
fleet wharf
#

think of your dances and symbols more as avoid overcapping, and not as cds you need to optimize

tulip folio
#

or do i need to press them seperatly

fleet wharf
#

dance+symbols is technically not advised, but ok as long as you have them on separate buttons so you can press them as needed

#

tea you can macro to dance

#

!dance

#

I forget the command, but there's another macro that might be useful too

tulip folio
#

like why dance not give symbols itself what the f its another button

#

ok ill figure something thanks for help

#

btw about black powder

#

do i use it or no

#

if yes whats rules for it

fleet wharf
#

yes, when there are 4 or more targets

#

but you prio coup over black powder

tulip folio
#

4 or more outside of cd i black powder

#

coup over powder

#

what if im in dance symbols

fleet wharf
#

doesn't matter. if there are 4 or more live targets, you black powder over evisc

tulip folio
#

do i ever use blackpowder

#

but in dance symbols without flag blades

fleet wharf
#

you still black powder over evisc at 4 or more targets

#

use coup over bp

tulip folio
#

ok so i acctualy need to blackpowder more

#

even in dance symbols

#

ok thanks alot

this is just a ST example

#

but look at the logs for frac right

tulip folio
#

whatch me bro this season imma hit 3.5k

#

next expac i go title

short radish
#

you have 2 dances that are casted in dance

tulip folio
#

bro just wait

short radish
#

then you have 2 dances that are cast before the next flag

#

theres some variation when they are casted

#

some people cast them back to back

#

other people cast them 20 seconds apart

#

but the important part is that they only cast dance twice

#

the AMOUNT of dances is relatively static

tulip folio
#

ok so only 2 dance symbols with my blades flag

short radish
#

then afterwards as well it's always 1-2 dances

#

you should never really cast more than 2 dances between flags

#

unless youre in aoe the entire time and you can shuriken storm -> finisher outside of dance

#

and thats very rare

tulip folio
#

okay that was much needed info i regained hope

#

i cant play assa coz people wont let me restealth or funnel on st coz of ire tank trinket or some shit

i dont have gear for outlaw

who cares about restealth

you just seethe and cope

even as sub

restealths are amazing

because 4 extra seconds is kinda huge

💪

tulip folio
short radish
#

this is from the fuu article

#

if it helps with your visualisation of cds

#

(in a ST scenario)

#

and remember the longer you delay pressing flag/blades

#

the less casts you get throughout the dungeon

#

and the less casts you get the less damage you do

#

so youre better off overcapping on dance

#

than you are at pressing more dances and less flags

probably not

but i still say it anyway

#

Can someone explain to me like I’m an idiot how I am supposed to play coming back from the platforms into the damage amp on saladbar?

maiden oar
#

u have 2 options

#

the cowards path: farm coup / sht for the amp and basically just afk (keep rupture up then use a symbols charge to farm shadow techniques really fast and make sure you have coup)
the risky approach: send 1 dance and then go from there

#

personally im a coward

#

but i probably ccould get away with the dance

#

can look like either

#

but you want to try and get coup and 14 shadow technique stacks before the amp

#

for me it was the first img but if youre really brave you can do it like the second img

also probably better to spam storm at 4 escalating blades so u can have an unseen blade ready the backstab spam in first img is a misplay from me

#

had to really zoom out on the 2nd one because he pressed way more buttons

#

also if you dont have autumn you flag later into the amp and can therefore start prepping for the amp a little later

limpid sage
maiden oar
#

yeah

#

but rank 1 did it

#

and that guy gapped me by a ton

#

so maybe he knows something i dont

#

personally im going to keep not being risky bc im not very brave

tepid trellis
maiden oar
tepid trellis

I do not

but i did a symbols to farm sht fast before intermission

and i had autumn

limpid sage
#

Yeah I do the same

maiden oar
#

i wish i ccould get 18 stack maybe i misplayed somewhere

#

was 17 when i sent it

limpid sage
#

Considered making a cancelaura macro for symbols specifically on that fight

#

Just so I wouldn’t get a reset from Rupture after flag

maiden oar
#

hehe

warm marlin
#

rotating_skull forgot all about that bug

#

my macro has been protecting me very nicely

limpid sage
#

don't you have like 5 that you alternate between

warm marlin
#

Lmao yes but mainly the backstab one

#

The symbols delayed refund thing was turbo cringe

maiden oar
#

i notice it only ever happens to me on artoshion

#

and i just assume im getting parried ro something

#

i always forget what pull it is on the replay so i never chekc

#

but something refunds after rupture when i try and flag that guy

#

and it catches me off guard every time

warm marlin
#

If you cast symbols with supercharger charges ready and 7sht you will spontaneously consume all your sht to generate cp

#

It’s essentially a super delayed shadowcraft refund

#

Very cringe bug for prestacking

#

However, you can’t get a shadowcraft refund while you have the premeditation buff active, so you can prevent this shadowcraft bug by dancing before symbols

maiden oar
#

thats insane

#

thank u

#

i think that also happened to me on nexus king amp
