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
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
!wa
is fdk kinda like sub rogue?
i hear its dmg profile is similar but i assume its less flexible
is it still interesting to play or not as much
It’s 3 buttons instead of 9

!wa
fdk and sub are quite similar. both 90s burst specs. fdk has a very powerful 45s burst cd (stronger than a sub dance for sure) that they cast with their 90s and need to instacast between cds to not grief their timings, so not really flexible.
their damage outside of cds is also quite a bit better than sub's
though not really great
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
their 45s are quite frontloaded so it depends on when you both press
if you can get both sectecs off it might be stronger
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
we had 2 buyers this week and i just sent 2nd cd set on p1 and dances on artoshion and flag on pargoth with autumn
works if ur not pushing pargoth insane fast
no autumn = hold for winds and fly very quickly
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)
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
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
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
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
i was doing non autumn timing for some reason but i probably should just hold for like 2-3s
oh well goes out the window next week
good comms btw ty will keep in mind for 15%
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
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
wtf
thats insane
that hits 2/3 of the bosses only right
the middle guy and the air guy u shoot?
ye
ah ok thats still good and funny
its still also not really much better than sub
they are quite close
very much a play what you're better at fight
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
my raid doesnt do damage so no
oh ok
but yes autumn very op in that case
autumn works on lily right
no
im not even convinced skipping that intermission is good
i dont think its good
even with autumn you wont get full flag
on that fight specifically
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
ok dont say anything then
i dont think you change instances
so it should be fine
ive never needed to do that tho

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
critters?
or the trash monsters
yeah

at the pavilion to the back left of them
my goat predisorient anti variance machine I will always hunt down the location of every critter in the instance for you
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

dimensius i just cry and pray i proc 2p in opener if we ever die to devour or something
its way too long a run no
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
i dont think there is one
Back left of the room
guess im blind
we are so back
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
🗣️
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

glgl
no use getting tilted over something you can't control
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
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
yeah
but we love prism
yeah it's pretty cracked
no idea if it even will naturally haha
Inshallah we need to slay daddy dimmy before next raid buff
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
What's the usage of Netherprism?
With the extra 3% dimmy will be hella scuffed
!prism

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.
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
worse than wiping
i was thinking about this and i looked @ the top logs for plexus and cut them off at 3:00
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
anyone knows whats with EU servers, is it maintenance o some sorts?
i think since i'll be holding cd set for plat 1 it'll actually benefit me when we get the +3%
that's big sad
that's what we call a 1st world problem
who knows
NOW I KNOW ITS BCS OF REMIX
phase 3 of remix
new phase
yeah
i was wondering wtf is happening
idgaf about remix
LET ME PLAY MY RETAIL
but hey
honestly most 3AM-11PM updates are done by 6AM, its very surprising this one is still ongoing
yeah
its 8 AM rn yeah?
utc0 i guess
:3
yeah
nah. its 2
WTF
math isnt mathing
++
clock isnt clocking
because its 09.07
its gmt+1 I guess
let me see
wound poison > instant poison for first area of gambit yeah?
I found it was kinda hard to keep stacks high at all w/ not storming that often until cds are over
but I assume its still worth
doesnt matter
youre sub
youre not spreading poison
("the calculations they are not good, kevin")
give me 2 hours for shower and i will goon for the 1:99 hours
going for raid slot anyway
just need forge / prism / boots
ey its a new dinar item this week aswell isnt it?
yeah
yeeeppp new dinar !
never parsed gray
i only parse green
cause i like grass
:3
bud you're a pokemon
thats honestly kinda good parses, gratz !
:3
im still dog shit
sub is
weird
idk
i always find my self in a situtation where flag is ready
but idont have dance
cause i used all of them like a monkey
:3
(my 41 parse reason) xd
I love the spec, but planning a 24 seconds sequence to output one big sec tech is kinda overwhelming to me atm
I LOVE IT
play outlaw then
planning 32min sequence to output no damage
fun on its own way
:3
yeah thats a really good feeling but sometimes it doesn't click anymore and u gotta leave to come back stronger 🙂
U must not be following the 2 dance in cds 2 dance outside 2 dance in cds 1 dance outside of cds loop
yeah i know
but my fingers wont agree with me
THEY CLICK DANCE
with SYMB
AND THROW SECTEC
on its own
Well you lose all your damage If you fuck up your dances
thats why i parsed 41
tbh
idk how people managed
to parse lower than 41
lol
7m is criminal though
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
yea xd
incase you want more detail about how to waste dances
xd
in alpha its shit
lets see beta
yeah i've read the other chan, state is concerning but i'm hopeful
U took fat shit on shamans at least
it might be good even if its bad right now bc in a patch note they basically said: we know its bad and we are sorry and we will give it alot more attention
so surely it pans out
they are bots
and with that they fixed the worst part
i missed that patch note, ty !!!
Can't wait to play 32 specs on beta to settle on sub
so i think 1) they know what the bad parts are and read us complaining in midnight channel 2) we get extra attention now
maybe im coping
but im sure they can save us
PRO TIP: ignore other spec playstyle and play sub only
until you get high ilvl
then youre lazy enough to not swap
at all
i want havoc but i dont want to gear it up AGAIN
Abuse sub early play assa later 
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
I DID THE SAME THING BUT OPPOSITE xd
i played sin until 3k
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
then started boosting +7 by sub ( i had 0 sub knowledge so i learned it in 7s)
no its fine
Assert dominance grouch
i think its funny

i already did
i already asserted dominance every single week
except when we extended
i can let up just once
first time myth raiding
(got omega cucked on forge we pun adds behind the pool and i got the first set of them)
man I swear when i'm playing dps my guild dps are LIONS and when playing heal they hit like toddlers, those adds dont die
hehe
its literall yjust me
im like 2m dps over the next guy

i kill them all in 1 hit
sub rogue is so evil
13,12 would be a good dps
Ion think i ever got over 10
gotta push harder
let me lock it in twin
U hold first cds no
Or wats the move even
I havent been on that boss for solong
that orange parse is hot
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
the worst thing about it is that there wasnt a single cold blood cast in that parse
Maybe forge antenna
the dance timers arent exact btw i try and have the sectech hit the second the ccanisters break
did you keep it for next boss ?
nah
9 stack prism (appprox 90s) is stronger than forge
nah i was spamming 12 and forgot to cast it since i used skuriken tornado
so if ur just playing for 2mins when all the dudes spawn
and just autopiloted on it
12 stack prism is way better
yep
bc of flawless form and flag mastery staccks
its why u get autumn instead of frost dk
Dont mention autumn.
hehe
but yeah ur backloaded so forge is less cool for u
idk though maybe 2x on use is fine on soulbinder
Ive been begging for hpal
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
the secret tech for sec tech is holding global, roger that
if u press the sectech gcd right as the canisters break the clones will hit
there is no way
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
U wait for beams to shoot?
yeah
castbars like here and i didnt start but im about to start in a tenth of a second
no
its basically instant after castbar finishes
if the boss is next to the canister
the soulfray annihilation one
Ic
btw dont take my word as gospel about 1x on use i could be insane and wrong
i swap it around kinda often
I like to play wit kt

18:00
yeah i use 1x on use too much
its 10:30 and still no servers
the maintenance is officially until 11:00
surely that patience test from opening the vault rewards me with either myth netherprism or myth forge right?
haste vers ring best i can offer
I'd take alpha ring too i just remembered because i generally roll a sub 40 on it when it drops
We also do adds behind pool, you can shadowstep to someone behind the pool last second to avoid losing too much uptime
nope
time to sleep
good morning colleagues could I please ask what are all the "!" prompts to show all relevant guidance for Subtlety Rogue? I would like to review them as I am slowly returning to playing my rogue after years of tanking.
servers are UP
Thank you very much 🙂
no prism no forge no ring
but i got atomic phasebelt to replace my crafted belt for 0,3% increased dps which is a minor W
upgrade is upgrade 😉
this late into the tier it's always a W

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
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
Its not a significant change in terms of damage no
so you think its just down to preference and dung?
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
Ye thats what I was thinking would be the reason in some keys. Ty for answers! 🙂
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fXNoAnkjzcM6j5s1xE1rZg
idk how ot feel about this sim
less ver than crit doesnt really feel right
Im pretty sure i had higher crit than vers before i swapped gems
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
noted noted
pretty matchup dependent i dont usually use it
but it is popular
Well yeah, i was referring to PSF HALLS GAMBIT, which is the name of his talent page
how does this interact with the 2nd boss in halls btw
the turn to stone mechanic
not sure if it interacts with it at all
Fairly sure it doesnt do anything there
is araz and prism the best trinket comb in m+? 18+ keys?
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
Yes you can disable it here. But the default is always with rune
Yeah you cant really easily sim the vantus rune
i guess take top sim and reduce a bit of vers and add a bit more crit and mastery then
But it doesnt really matter much
i got araz
so its
cd araz -> cd prism -> cd araz
i mean
we start from araz or prism

got it
!mistakes
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
!coup
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.
is wax still worth using ?
It's free, so always worth it
Last I checked it was like 20k more dps?
good shit, ty
That was when I was 10% lower crit and 10% more mastery though, so it should prob be more now
What flasks are u Running on 15+ keys as sub Im thinking of switching to crit instead of chaos
chaos
tempered gave you all the other stats
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
i'd say mastery but sim is smarter than me
Is the last post in tc-research the 30th september to you guys as well
dude just use r2 pot
its like 30 40 g each
20 g
lol
I keep getting notifs for the chat but nothing updates in there
im using them on dummys
fair
i don't have the habit of popping pots in m+ cuz i've been mostly doing weeklies
but not using it is like 2.4k
Its because bots post there (and in every other channel) before they get banned
Bots/hacked accounts
Ah makes sense. Funny that it doesn’t remove the notification after though
I usually know a bot was banned bc I'll see tc channel posts lol
@warm marlin new lily tech?
for some bosses
whats the reasoning?
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 🤓
are you just using lily on pull and 3mins in A
lily on pull and at 1:30, then prism last flag
oh yeah that makes sense
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
already have all my needed items so extra dinars are like
either buy lily to fuck around
or an offhand for 3 ilvl

lily was my dinar for that reason ye
think pacemaker is my second, there might be some potential
you had prism forge boots and antenna pre turbo?
yes
I bought prism 
love those things
yeah i was like
lily to fuck around ig
pacemaker is a maybe this will be useful at some point
or just buy the db wep
Pacemaker+Forge for the 2:30 kill timers
man
(it was only slightly better than antenna when i simmed it)
artosh is dying for us
So doesnt matter much
barely after i finish my cb sectech
im trying to get sat at least one week
so i get out of the note
and i keep getting put in anyway

horribly cringe fight anyway
timers barely work on prog and then it all goes to shit
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
since we've only had 1 loom wep drop ever
You will get haste and you will love it - John Blizzard, probably
Just get assist and sabotage the note.
only ethical behaviour around here
!ui
!wa
do you have to send cds instantly on dimmy?
or is it fine to wait till 1:40 for example
Depends a lot on how much damage your group has
But generally just send on cd until you see that you can get anything by holding
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Should i buy SH boots or Ritual forge, alrdy have netherprism and simming forge just doesnt work
Forge sims perfectly fine
Droptimizer was bugging it out at one point no? Just add it to top gear if it’s buggy.
why peope using araz instead of antenna in mythic dimensius
to not deal with orbs
hey, is there an apl for cursed stone idol, it keeps using it instead of prism
Thought i had i pushed to default but ig i forgot, anyway here it is:
(fwiw stone idol still isnt particularly good)
I put that in, but it uses prism at 4:53 whithout cds up... sadge
Yeah but its used it before
It’s likely a right around 5 min fight and it’s dumping it like it should
Idk what you wanted it to do
Be a 300k dps upgrade outsimming BM hunters 
if i sim lily it uses prism at 3 mins but idol uses it at 4:53
No it uses it at 3 min too
it's just the order of using prism thats wack
Link sim pls. Worse case swap trinket positions
Well you didnt use the custom apl
might be doing something wrong but, I have tried every option stated
lol didn't think i needed to download it, MonkaS
okay so it won't fk something up in terms of alignment for amp?
yeah thanks
Idk depends on how fast you kill
or I guess we can always hold
Literally no way of me knowing
yeah
someone know how to change color on rupture from plater?
I use this and made one in Constructor for rupture https://wago.io/398Lv0cuq
very easy to do
you can mod it to only be border

their interrupt plugin is nice too
where i import
is script?

does order of my trinkets + potion matter much on opener? like if we accidenntly cast potion after shadow blades, is it an issue
Does not matter
would u take this crap if ur rolling hero with crit vers?
feels nice to get myth piece but stats kill me
23k dps increase 
yep
hey guys, does cloak work on the pull mechanic in p3 dimensius ?
you will get stunned and die from gravity collapse
because likely the guy with it will move and you wont
i see a lot of ppl have 2x focusing lens, i have a writhing armor band.
do i need to recraft the writhing band to focusing lens or does it work like having 2x?
best thing to cloak is devour or last ring
best dps is usually writhing+ascendance or double dawn
but the diff is so little
no one really cares
!stats
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
how do i use shadowstep on dimensius correclty without spawning in his front?
stop pressing movement keys when u shadowstep and orient after, you can't change shadowstep location
The laser on Nexus King sometimes double-hitting within like 0.3seconds, is it normal?
he steps to skillydk
yeah you can see his focus target next to target frame
cloak immunes the stun
but ye prob better to immune rings
oh true. thx
stepping dks is usually safe
unless your dk likes to floorpov
then consider someone else
Ye just step someone reliable
i kind of regret not taking bracers
now that my sim is showing highest lens sim is putting them on ring and neck
shits tiny regardless
is there anything that can make it easier to see what I'm hitting? I do have plater but ideally i want something that can make the red circle target thing more visible. In dungeons like Eco Dome the mobs are always moving and i find that a lot odf the time i'm not in range of the hit box and i lose a lot of dps because of those situations
is bubbling wax good?
yes
In plater there is a specila buff you can track
just make it really big
you can get a weak aura that plays a noise when you step out of melee range
thats what i do
You’re fucked in midnight ain’t ya?
yes
even wiht combo points
im conditioned to press when my CPs are a certain color
How long range does sectech have around the main target?
Is it known because its not displayed in tooltip
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"
We can cleave sectec from the living mass to dimmy but not the other way around right?
yes
Cool, that’s what I thought but wasn’t 100% sure
how can avoid getting TPd while using shadowstrike on dimensius FFS
hold W
and be inside his hitbox
guys new to sub here
my dps is bad in keys / aoe
i have no clue why
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
nobody will be able to help unless you upload a log
yep 1 sec sending it
.
like it got noticable worse once i started playing m+ tea build
now that i think im not sure about black powder usage rules too
so theres lot that is wrong here, i just need tips on improtant stuff
what going on here
or this one

yeah i do that
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
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.
You generally dont delay blades, you skip dancing earlier

- 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.
Thats true, its insanely non intuitive
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
so i have to always have at least 1 set of dance and mark for blades
2
1.5 dance and 1.3 symbols
and i should send flagg befor i go into dance right
whats does that even mean 😭
You always want to use 2 during, so you need roughly what fimbul said at the moment you press flag
Stacks
ah ok i get it
0.3 of symbols is like 9 seconds
I disagree about it not being intuitive. all of your damage happens in CDs. you dont gaf about anything out of CD except to farm it back up
but to add onto what fimb said, stop pressing dances once you have 30 sec left on flag cd
you are better wasting a dance for 10 seconds
then doing flag and not having 2 dances
and forget about sending naked sec techs, that seems to be fucking some things up too
it depends on how many charges you have and how far away flag/blades is
you hold if it'll make it so your next big cd (with flag and blades) are gonna be fucked up
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
ok ok
Subs rotation revolves around making sure you can always use 2 sectech, 2 dances and 2 symbols during shadowblades
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 ?
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
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
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

- 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.
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
think of your dances and symbols more as avoid overcapping, and not as cds you need to optimize
or do i need to press them seperatly
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
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
4 or more outside of cd i black powder
coup over powder
what if im in dance symbols
doesn't matter. if there are 4 or more live targets, you black powder over evisc
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
!tea
Thistle tea use:
It is recommended to macro Thistle Tea with Shadow Dance like this:
/cast Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null```
but i still dont understand how this is intuitive 😄 maybe i played alot of simple classes but this compeared to hunter pala or evoker warrior my alts
trust us
this is like playing chess to do damage
yeah ofc
your rotation is largly static
im not swiching my rouge ever so i have to get better at it
i love class alot but its just painfull to play
bro im 3.4k rio
still dont understand how this shit works
:DDD
i do what i gotta do
you have 2 dances that are casted in dance
bro just wait
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
ok so only 2 dance symbols with my blades flag
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
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
and im cooked on sub
who cares about restealth
you just seethe and cope
even as sub
restealths are amazing
because 4 extra seconds is kinda huge
but its never worth playing around
jia you
💪

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
do non chinese speakers even know what that means?

How does one go about getting a log review? I definitely need to be casting Coup more, but am missing something.

then start reading from here
and the same shit kinda applies
i cbf writing out the same stuff again
yep. just a lot of people this tier really not holding their weight

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?
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
You can never get 3x dances in amp if you go risky though, can you?
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
Depends on dances spend earlier on the platform
thats true i was assuming u get 3 dances on the platform
I do not
Yeah if you send 3x on platform you can’t send off platform, but you still overcap slightly on dances and symbols iirc?
was like this
but i did a symbols to farm sht fast before intermission
and i had autumn
Yeah I do the same
Considered making a cancelaura macro for symbols specifically on that fight
Just so I wouldn’t get a reset from Rupture after flag
hehe
which one
don't you have like 5 that you alternate between
Lmao yes but mainly the backstab one
The symbols delayed refund thing was turbo cringe
huh is it a bug
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
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
waht
thats insane
thank u
i think that also happened to me on nexus king amp









forgot all about that bug
