My next raid is on 01.feb

#

My guild is so lethargic when it comes to farm or prepatch raid

#

And then wondering why the sell run is the most sluggish thing not even progress comes near it

sullen hare
#

33ish% here. Definitely needed

#

Feels worlds different

vale pine
#

i think skyfury makes a big diffrence in feel

sullen hare
#

Oh that's without a doubt

red vortex
#

Alright today we farming 35% haste

tribal blade
#

can't imagine the poor casuals who logged into prepatch with 0 haste and were wondering why sub was unplayable

vale pine
#

i mean, i am close to that

#

and i feel like i need to pool energy for dance if i dance back to back

narrow shadow
#

is it worth doing Shuriken/bp in St just for danse?

sinful zephyr
#

I kinda like the flow but no cdr feels very strange, especially on sectech

golden lark
#

Sub feels so strange to play now with the loss of 4 abilities
feels like I'm just spamming 2-4 abilities 😂

#

Feels like it kinda lost its character, or maybe I'm just not used to the changes

wild vine
#

I mean you didnt really have that many beforehand either way

#

So removing some feels worse than if you had a ton

keen dome
#

We mostly hit 2 - 5 buttons beforehand too

wild vine
golden lark
#

That is true!
now we barely have buttons during cds as well though

wild vine
#

Even if it didnt add that much

golden lark
#

no rupture to keep up either

fossil forge
#

Bring back coup dash as a exclusive ability

keen dome
#

Haha

rapid estuary
#

sub had so many buttons and my brain was so overwhelmed trying to parse the decision tree constantly that it was fun

#

but hit big button spend CP is also fun

golden lark
#

Felt more satisfying with the higher skill ceiling imo

#

Even though I didn't really maxd out its potential I still like the option 😂

torn tide
red vortex
dry plank
#

guys do we sent naked SechTech? lets say after shadow blades we have 7-9 sec cd on dance do we send naked and then next one in dance?

red vortex
#

never send naked sectecs

#

thats NSFW

#

and against ToS

dry plank
#

otherwise i feel like we delay it too much

#

because we stack 2 dance for next blades window

alpine wraith
#

you can send a naked one if you want to save dances for some situation

/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
velvet nova
#

at first i was like „yeah, 2 buttons instead of 12 is cool” as a joke
but bro...

eager basin
vale pine
#

huh why

#

its basically

#

/cast shadow blades
/cast dance
/use trinekts/racial

#

the secret is on top

#

mostly because you want to not waste gcd's

plucky moon
#

Why sooo many ppl use this trink from nexus king now guys? Is it best for us or what?

vale pine
#

you can further reduce your button count

#

with that

#

you sucessfully

#

made your aoe rotation 2 buttons

alpine wraith
#

i still find it so funny

alpine wraith
#

that you want for st

plucky moon
#

But i am widout any buff aroud 30-32%

#

So thats not that good for me no?

alpine wraith
#

then that is fine tbh who knows

#

if you already have screams and ticking sac you could use those

plucky moon
#

Scream i have and i can buy that trink from streets

#

If thats bis

#

Ik its just prepatch but i just like minimaxing cuz im a bit crazy thats all 😄

alpine wraith
#

dont worry i also had a spare dinar

#

so i bough sac

#

already had dimmy ring

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah, 33% haste with sac and screams

alpine wraith
#

and araz to

#

just needed to change tier set to shoulders

#

and craft helmet+wrist

fallow nimbus
#

I could go more haste with haste gems

alpine wraith
#

im using mastery-haste gems

#

getting dance to almost 9 or a bit more if fine mostly

plucky moon
#

These are my raid stats

alpine wraith
#

afterwards more damage

fallow nimbus
#

Vers+mastery with 1 of the other colors for gem

plucky moon
#

Looking fine i gues

fallow nimbus
#

I have less mastery but more vers

plucky moon
#

Ye i wana do that also

#

Will need to check some stuff in my gear

fallow nimbus
#

I also have a 15-20% haste setup with a load of mastery/vers

alpine wraith
#

funnily enough

fallow nimbus
#

Didn't check stats after prepatch because ui had prior

alpine wraith
#

for some reason mastery is more % after the squish

#

on my mastery stack gear

#

i have almost 220%

#

before it was lower

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah, i had like 39% haste after squish

#

I took fuus bis list from wowhead with the items i had on hand

reef walrus
#

I'm pretty sure the changed stat scaling caused us to just have a bit more of everything. I made a haste set before prepatch and had around 40%

cursive tundra
#

where could i find sub/outlaw talent builds for midnight beta? peepoShy

reef walrus
#

then prepatch hit and I suddenly could get up to 56%

cursive tundra
#

faq it is ty

short radish
cursive tundra
#

outlaw has builds for midnight

#

sub only has builds for prepatch

short radish
#

isn't it just same shit + the apex talents or something?

cursive tundra
#

you get 10 more talent points, which might change the pathing, idk, I'm clearly not a theorycrafter kekw

#

i'm dumb for that

fallow nimbus
#

Isn't it 4 3 3?

#

Or 3 3 4?

cursive tundra
#

yes, that's 10 pepoG

#

according to my maths at least

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

i think a big thing is sub has certain combos of key presses between builders and finishers

#

builder>finisher

#

builder>builder

#

finisher>finisher

#

right now we're missing 1/3rd of that from finisher>finisher

#

obv it's not that much to make sub feel a bit more complete, but it's something

#

i wish playing around DM was a thing, that introduced some variety to the rotation

vale pine
#

XD

#

just saying

#

i mentioned this to a freind, let me find it

#

there it is

#

the gate moves in midnight, or at least did when i tested

wheat cloak
#

is there no point in backstabbing for danse anymore?

vale pine
#

so you essentially get the same dps talent options in the class tree, just later

tribal blade
vale pine
#

neither backstab nor shuriken storm is worth it

tribal blade
#

i wish storm was

wheat cloak
#

oh wow

#

so we really are a 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 spec now

tribal blade
#

i feel like they could introduce a 45 second cd to sub

dark minnow
#

smoooooooth brain we are now bm hunters

vestal escarp
#

Builder button finisher button and cds yeah

vale pine
#

but i don't think its a good one

tribal blade
vale pine
#

storm crit is guaranteed, so it might be slightly more consistent to storm

wheat cloak
#

hopefully the apex talents add something good

#

something around optimising for shadow clone damage

vale pine
#

but you trade off damage by doing so

#

ofc all depends on talent choices

lusty epoch
#

anyone know if authority of the depths is bugged in raidbots? it sims highest but on wowhead it says stat enchants are better

vale pine
#

on single target or aoe?

lusty epoch
#

single target

#

2 min patchwerk

vale pine
#

authority of depth did start simming better after the updates

#

so its better

lusty epoch
#

okok ty!

vale pine
#

i need to update that on wowhead

#

radiant power sims now best in aoe

torn tide
vale pine
#

i finished the sims on subtlety in

#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

need to do outlaw/sin now

#

tho i will update wowhead enchants/etc quickly before

cursive tundra
#

can you guys recraft?

#

or nobody is allowed to

#

also, can someone donate some haste to me kekw

#

this is what I managed to scrape together

red vortex
#

thats more than enough

#

33-35

cursive tundra
#

i guess mana oil can take me to 35%

red vortex
#

i am rockign 14%

#

don't get me started

cursive tundra
#

eyyyyyy mana oil to the rescue

#

okay, 35% done

#

i am thankful for my haste versa rings that I built for outlaw

#

cause i cannot recraft anything it seems

lilac stag
#

Drop prism imo

cursive tundra
#

for what

lilac stag
#

Nothing lives long enough

#

Lilly if you want an on use

tribal blade
#

prism pretty bad for sub in ST now

cursive tundra
#

i might not care about ST

tribal blade
#

we don't do nuclear cd dmg anymore

cursive tundra
#

i am m+ guy

visual plaza
#

can any check my problem in sin tab plz

lilac stag
#

Lily is good in m+

tribal blade
#

i would rather run lily tbh

#

no chance of losing stacks

cursive tundra
#

i have Sigil, Araz, Prism, Antenna and Pacemaker in myth 8/8

#

lily I only have in hc track

#

could run sigil i guess?

tribal blade
#

prism should be good in keys

#

i haven't simmed it yet

alpine wraith
#

prism is good in dimensius

cursive tundra
#

sims work in prepatch?

alpine wraith
#

in nexus king you dont even have time to stack it

vale pine
#

prism did sim bis, but now that they fixed some other trinkets it seems it gets slighly behind other options

vale pine
flint umbra
#

Is sub fun right now?

vale pine
#

!sheet has sims for trinkets

wicked joltBOT
fallow nimbus
#

Glad i made a 2nd dagger with focusing lens kekw

vale pine
flint umbra
#

Do they do tank damage outside of cds?

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

we are mid pack

#

just dont try and compare to uh dk

cursive tundra
red vortex
#

got nerfed anyway

cursive tundra
#

i feel like not much has changed

#

we are still okay

flint umbra
cursive tundra
#

i am strictly talking about keys

flint umbra
#

What’s the time on the cds? Last time I played they had it at 90 seconds

cursive tundra
#

no idea in raid

lilac stag
cursive tundra
#

SD has like 20s recharge now, with 35% haste and first dance, mine lasts for 13 sec

flint umbra
#

Hmm, they didn’t remove a bunch of abilities?

lilac stag
#

3?

#

Maybe look at that

flint umbra
#

Ok ty

elfin sequoia
#

hi everyone
is there any option to have combo points on target nameplate without addons right now?
I'm trying pure wow in prepatch but the best i managed was to show them at static location of my choosing instead of target nameplate.

red vortex
#

iirc no

flint umbra
#

One last thing though, I saw someone say sub feels a lot more thematically cool now, did they give them cool shadowy vfx or something?

#

Still basically 0 vfx?

lilac stag
#

just purple farts

flint umbra
#

Dang

#

Does the apex talent not look cool? The clone thing

elfin sequoia
#

that's a shame about those CP.
I got really used to seeing it this way over the years

lilac stag
#

Outlaw got the noticeable gfx update

flint umbra
#

Yeah I saw something about outlaw being totally different now, I’ll have to check it out

vale pine
#

if you see it

#

XD

#

it is very easy to miss

tribal blade
#

@vale pine looks like both depths and radiant power are simming better for me on both sub and outlaw yeah

#

jsut gonna go x2 radiant power

keen dome
#

Neat

#

I guess it makes sense. Damage proc gonna be doing work

vale pine
#

ye this

#

also try

#

it seems like mana oil is rly good now

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

had to run mechanics out 3x garf

tribal blade
#

i'm gonna run radiant power because it'll be better in any cleave/aoe situation

lilac stag
#

That doesn’t exist in raid

tribal blade
#

M+ brain 😉

lilac stag
#

Ye

limber sand
#

what poisons u guys using?

lilac stag
#

So not awful, not sure if radiant would have done that much better

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

Did you do 5 min sim or 2-3?

tribal blade
#

uhh 5 min i think

lilac stag
#

We had 1:30 kills with rats. Just not sure at actually getting the proc

keen dome
#

only 19 main stat though. So not huge.

#

But still, radiant seems nice

tribal blade
#

i'll see how much it does in dslice

haughty mural
#

Oh we are back to depths and radiant power ?

keen dome
#

ye 'cos damage good

#

raw stats kinda less good

lilac stag
#

Fract was 1:37 lol

keen dome
#

owns

lilac stag
#

Thank you Lily

keen dome
#

I assume on Myth

lilac stag
#

ye

keen dome
#

Faster than my heroic pug kills yesterday

#

oh wait no, fract was faster on heroic lmao

#

Just a random pug. Not even good damage

#

i'm gonna try to do a Mythic pug this weekend since it's so easy

lilac stag
#

Couldn’t beat the devourer. Beat one of the boomstickers & the UH

keen dome
#

Nice

tribal blade
#

my dslice sim prefers running hero lily over myth prism

#

interesting

lilac stag
#

mastery is good still

tribal blade
#

and my sim still wants me to run high haste over more mast

#

in dslice

#

like 30% haste

#

interesting

keen dome
#

Yeah, with Lily I hit 130% mastery which is pretty nice

lilac stag
#

being in dance longer is good garf

keen dome
#

I have 18% Haste and I want more

lilac stag
#

TFD + 35% haste. dead

tribal blade
#

i'm not surprised haste is good in aoe

#

yeah more dance

#

more unga bunga

lilac stag
#

Even with a more simple setup, folks will struggle with the cd timings and fitting global in dance

red vortex
#

isnt haste bad on AoE?

tribal blade
#

supposed to want lower haste on aoe but my sim said it wanted it

lilac stag
#

Nothing is bad. You want balance in m+ imo. It’s not all aoe 24/7

#

Remember sub was ST destroyer in s3.

#

You can do some long dance chains with a good amount of haste.

#

Numerically better? Guess it depends on what your group odds killing and how quickly

#

Haste Vers/Crit makes outlaw swapping easier as well

red vortex
tribal blade
red vortex
#

that is true

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't worry too much about stats, we're in "fake" content atm

red vortex
#

rtue

#

but also get 35% haste

keen dome
weary tree
#

Lol tried Arcui, brok the entire add-on apparently. Groups broken, can't repair and cant delete them

#

Just can't do anything 🤷

tribal blade
#

looks like my dslice sim wants me to have high haste and drop vers for mast

tribal blade
#

i'm only using sensei resource addon atm

keen dome
#

High5

weary tree
keen dome
#

One thing I really like about Sensei is it's the same spot for all my characters.

tribal blade
#

double win of not dealing with addons and my computer takes a lighter load

keen dome
#

So I can just unify it all

tribal blade
#

AND less chance of dealing with broken shit

haughty mural
lilac stag
#

Lily Warpedclaw

tribal blade
weary tree
#

Can you?

keen dome
#

I'm running Lily Moth because I like the little moth on my head.

weary tree
#

How can you make a glow when like Dance is active?

lilac stag
#

I’ll prob buy dimmy trinket

weary tree
#

That's what I want

tribal blade
#

if you right click on essential spells in the spell manager

#

there's visual and audio alerts

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

but it's nowhere near the same kind of customization as WAs were

lilac stag
#

I think so, at least in raid except dimmy

weary tree
#

I just want a small glow

#

nothing more

#

Just knowing i pressed it and its active

tribal blade
#

like you can do that

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

AFAIK you can’t glow active on dance. It’s turn the active overlay on or off

#

You can do ready state, not active state

tribal blade
#

only available and on cd i'm afraid

lilac stag
#

So I just made dance a buff icon

tribal blade
#

i'm gonna stick with default as well because it's obv gonna get better from here on out

lilac stag
#

The CDs and buff are limited in different ways.

plucky parrot
#

I just wish there was a way make an inactive buff glow

lilac stag
#

ie no sound for rtb

tribal blade
#

good thing about sub now i guess is you don't have much to track lol

plucky parrot
#

not sub specific but just in general

keen dome
#

Yeah. I'm really happy with my UI

tribal blade
keen dome
#

That's it, that's the UI

tribal blade
#

that's the 1 thing i want

plucky parrot
#

yea a sound

#

or a glow

#

as a buff drops would be nice

keen dome
tribal blade
#

they don't have sounds or visual alerts for buffs for some reason

#

which sucks

plucky parrot
#

I mostly notice it if I ever need to keep bladeflurry up without deft

#

rtb is another

keen dome
#

I really do think, overall with some caveats, this is good enough as a starting point

tribal blade
keen dome
#

PRD changes are baffling. Damage meter padding and lacking functionality that exists on beta is also baffling.

#

padding as in UI element padding and not damage padding.

lilac stag
plucky parrot
#

but I don't always want to know that BF is off cd

keen dome
plucky parrot
#

I'd rather just see that the buff isn't up

#

if I'm balancing between ST and AOE

lilac stag
#

Best UI hack is moving target cast bar off target in UUF. You can see a lot of the mechanics being cast

keen dome
#

Yeah

plucky parrot
#

with deft it's fine since bf generates anyways

keen dome
#

I like their bossmod so far but I need to find a better place to put the timer bar

tribal blade
#

i just figure the audio cue will be enough to remind you to pay attention to BF

red vortex
#

u know what has been killing me

#

not having a poison reminder

plucky parrot
#

thankfully the current ui hasn't really been an issue for sub

lilac stag
red vortex
#

yea

#

will download that today

#

saw elvui also came out with an update

keen dome
#

Where poison toggle to save us

tribal blade
#

holy target dummies lag batman

vale pine
placid elk
#

tbh with all the crap addons coming out after they "nuked" them, weakauras could come back and make something

#

api looks pretty forgiving

#

i trust them more than every ai coded crap

vale pine
#

ark ui is kinda already half way there

#

well lets say 1/4 way

placid elk
#

is it made with human fingers typing ?

lilac stag
#

We’re going to get sloppy addons just like sloppy WAs

vale pine
#

but you never know

placid elk
#

well with weakauras i got pack from someone for class stuff, edit it to my liking and made new ones if i wanted

#

i didnt just import 300 shit ones

lilac stag
#

You’re assuming they’re not shit, or you know they weren’t doing stupid excessive calls?

#

some of the favorite plater profiles called spell reflect for every class. kekdog

placid elk
#

i deleted 80% of triggers and conditions for luxthos wa for example, and never loaded half the auras

lilac stag
#

yeah and most aren’t doing that

placid elk
#

all i wanted from him was the customization and groups skeleton for easy adjusts of position

lilac stag
#

Meanwhile Blizzard Frames

placid elk
#

yeah... ionsadhours default UI is bad

lilac stag
#

In 4 days people will just go back to elvui

placid elk
#

dont even know if i can turn off debuffs and buffs from party/raid frames

#

i never need them as rogue

lilac stag
#

someone that likes to tinker will do individual addons

tribal blade
#

thank god we don't need good raid/party frames as rogues

placid elk
#

is elvui same bad performance fiesta ?

#

might think installing it

lilac stag
#

Who knows

tribal blade
#

all i know is it's become a meme in my guild

#

elvui breaks

#

and a 1/4 of the raid is floundering

#

unable to play

#

in my guild

placid elk
#

i played tww season 1 with default UI and it was better than this crap

#

felt way more fluid

#

same in DF s2

lilac stag
#

I’ll send Quazii money today and try his out

red vortex
#

ill just wait for Naowh

#

seems like he is almost done

lilac stag
#

he’s super on top of his shit

placid elk
#

can't wait to see RWF ui's

red vortex
#

minimum of 1 base ui rwf raider

#

surely

#

can't wait for the casuals to lose their mind seeing RWF ui's and think they are cheating cus of the "addon purge"

lilac stag
#

I can’t wait to see how far they push the known black box workarounds

placid elk
#

well its still a battle between devs and addon developers

lilac stag
#

and RWF pushes it further than anyone short of botters

placid elk
#

but now there's also AI

chrome palm
#

Every addon I try spams me with a trillion lua errors in combat

lilac stag
#

Only Uuf does that for me if I try to move something occasionally

chrome palm
#

Using that with better cdm

placid elk
chrome palm
#

It’s the best that I’ve found but it’s still trying to ruin my life

lilac stag
#

sounds like worse cdm

chrome palm
#

Centered cdm was asking me to reload my ui every 2 minutes

#

Otherwise very solid

lilac stag
#

Arc was the most stable I found

#

Also masque seems to have some issues

#

If you’re running that

chrome palm
#

I tried arc but it is a disaster to set up I’ll have to give it another go

#

I haven’t used elvui in years

lilac stag
#

My gripe with arc is no center

chrome palm
#

But I’m about to just pay atrocity

#

So I can play the game

#

Yeah

#

No center is unforgivable

lilac stag
#

Look at Quazii

chrome palm
#

For me

placid elk
#

masque literally bricked my game, had to alt+f4 and delete it from addons folder kekdog

chrome palm
#

Bro it’s so bad

#

I had a great ui I loved it so much 😭

placid elk
#

same. shadowed unit frames was great

chrome palm
#

I just used weak auras and better blizz frames

#

I created a Zac/luxthos bastard child and I loved it

#

Now its gone forever…

tulip light
#

hi guys is there a point in tracking mark / darkest night? is there any interaction we play around?

placid elk
#

well i hope they enjoy having a lot of fkin casuals paying for their game because it's frustrating for older players

chrome palm
tulip light
#

yeah but i mean in terms of actively managing it

#

rotation wise

chrome palm
#

I’m extremely sus of quazii because I heard he borrowed from nephui

#

You just cast finishers to consume the mark

tulip light
#

i know how it works, but is there any benefit to actually seeing it on my cooldown manager

#

it doesnt change my rotation, does it?

chrome palm
#

In aoe it does

lilac stag
#

to know when to move mark

chrome palm
#

If you want to do prio damage

#

Regardless actually

#

If you want pro you bp until dn and then evis someone

#

If you want aoe you bp until dn then strike someone then go back to bp without consuming dn

#

So you need to know when dn is up for that

#

Also dn and mark are literally the only buffs you need to track besides shadow techniques which you probably can ignore on prepatch

lilac stag
#

I think the evis will be what most people will need

chrome palm
#

I was doing both depending on the pack

#

Sometimes it’s just exhausting in huge packs with no prio mob to keep moving the mark

#

And doing no aoe

lilac stag
#

when you weren’t reloading kekdog

placid elk
#

i'll make an UI where i don't track shit. im gonna vibe play kekdog

chrome palm
#

Do you need to track dance rn

#

The cd not the aura

placid elk
#

i can see it on my bars so no

#

gonna go full blizzcon pvp-er UI

chrome palm
#

Just see if the character is purple

#

As ion intended for us

placid elk
#

just press shadowstrike, if it works u are in dance, if not, u are not

chrome palm
lilac stag
chrome palm
#

That’s blue purple not purple big difference

vale pine
#

you could in theory

lilac stag
#

Not when you’re blindkekdog

vale pine
#

only track secret

#

tho it will be hard to know when blades is up, to use a 2nd charge of dance

placid elk
#

i hate so much secret cd is reduced by BL

vale pine
#

i don't mind that

#

but i think haste interaction with secret is in general not fun

chrome palm
#

If you get pi maybe you can 2nd secret in dance with tfd

placid elk
#

im gonna go make my own mmo brb

tulip light
#

i want to track stuff just to feel something 🙁

chrome palm
#

Or do what I do

#

Press n - change specialization

quasi junco
#

guys, if rotationaly nothing will be changed, how hard is our spec to play in midnight? like easy going?

chrome palm
#

If nothing is changed then it would be the same as now

#

But apex probably changes some things

#

Like maybe pooling sht or hero talent stuff

lilac stag
sacred gull
#

I hope it will get a bit more complex in the future seasons, but I understand they had to simplify with the loss of WAs

chrome palm
#

you didnt really need to track that much as sub actually

sacred gull
#

True but they don't know it

lilac stag
#

The spec is the same at its core. They just got rid of the krangled repetitive CDs.

chrome palm
#

its a matter of opinion but its fundamentally different imo

#

like the main gameplay of sub was always decision making around cds which doesnt exist anymore

sacred gull
#

The backstab thing during dance was cool trick

that could come back at some point

sacred gull
#

But otherwise venthir and symbols don't really matter

lilac stag
#

You’ll have to decide on do I send CDs before sblades or not. You’re just not dealing with shit overlaps

chrome palm
#

if they fix some of the bugs with danse and then buff it to compensate, maybe youll do it again

lilac stag
#

It’s the same at its core

chrome palm
#

i mean its still a rogue sure

sacred gull
#

Rupture was nice also

chrome palm
#

ye i liked rupture too wouldve been nice to have nightblade or something tho

sacred gull
#

Now my A button is empty, I don't know what to put on it 🤷‍♂️

lilac stag
#

Cancelaura Sectech macro

sacred gull
#

For what ?

keen dome
#

I have a space where rupture went and I don't know what to put there, too.

#

Ancient Arts once we have Apex, iirc?

sacred gull
#

Ancient arts is an active spell ?

lilac stag
#

You can always try the other specs or other classes if Sub is too dumb now. kekdog

keen dome
#

I'm not sure.

nah old sub had the illusion of lots to track

#

but everything kinda played like clockwerk

keen dome
lilac stag
#

TWW sub sent an overwhelming amount of info for you to learn to basically Sectech in dance with supercharger.

#

checks prepatch…

keen dome
#

Yeah

lilac stag
#

yep still sub

keen dome
#

Convuluted and complex, with a lot of confusing moving parts and weird rules.

chrome palm
azure thicket
#

put cheap shot on your bars

keen dome
#

We still have the core gameplay of strike dance sectec evis blades backstab soup

azure thicket
#

rupture come back but not really :'c

lilac stag
#

Can’t track buffs isn’t just a sub issues. That’s a gameplay issue on Blizzard.

#

If it’s in the upper right hand corner of my screen I should be able to track it in cdm

wispy pebble
chrome palm
#

yeah sht too

#

forgor

#

i put eb there

#

not having eb change its icon to coup is infuriating

#

i hate the cdm man

wispy pebble
#

It worked before pre patch no? its just super buggy atm

azure thicket
#

tww sub felt well designed compared to the old shadowdust 7 target bp sub rogue

keen dome
#

Well, S1 Sub didn't.

graceful osprey
#

Backstab should just be gloomblade

keen dome
#

S2 sub felt better. S3 sub felt great and we had Netherprism.

wispy pebble
#

Also im pretty sure evis Essential cooldown was glowing when it transformed to Coup. Also not working anymore

chrome palm
#

i think backstab should just be sinister strike and make backstab an out of dance proc or something

keen dome
#

But don't forget how much impact the set bonus in S3 had to the feel of the spec too

wispy pebble
azure thicket
#

ye wasn't there for s1 except for a random rookery key and i was sending shuri storm in cds

chrome palm
#

make backstab something like old perf veins

sick epoch
#

is impossible to put Shadow Technique and eviscerate in the same macro, right?

lilac stag
#

Dust would work much better today than it did in s1

keen dome
#

But also 100% gloomblade should be our baseline. Make Backstab a cooldown for pvp

signal kettle
#

Anyone having UI issues? My buff icons don't seem to exist even though I have them set up

sacred gull
sick epoch
azure thicket
#

but as soon as you figured that out you could proceed to doing dps

chrome palm
#

its just a plain evis icon

#

and then a separate eb tracker

#

that does not turn into coup for some reason

#

outlaw also should have gravedigger change to a bte icon or something

#

at 6+

wispy pebble
chrome palm
#

staring at numbers on an icon is annoying

wispy pebble
sick epoch
chrome palm
#

theyre both tracking the same thing just showing it differently

#

peak blizz design

wispy pebble
lilac stag
wispy pebble
#

Sectec is probably the most important cd to track atm

keen dome
#

I'm just tracking SecTec, Dance and Blades. I also have ST tracked to see stack sof combies, and blades/coup's icon at eyeline and it seems fine

#

But everything really revolves around SecTec so it's fine

lilac stag
#

Otherwise YOLO one button rotation and call it a day

sacred gull
#

I tried to put some sound alerts but blizz CD manager wouldn't let me do what really matters

swift tinsel
#

They don’t want you to have useful alerts

sick epoch
#

okay 🙂 I'm new to it and I started to avoid One button today

wispy pebble
#

Btw moving from "haste is kinda useless" to "haste is mega op" with gear that doesnt has haste is soooooooo shit

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

Lmao

keen dome
#

If they let me use ANY sound

#

I'd just use my Purrkin's sounds

#

Since he has different beeps and meows when clicked on

swift tinsel
#

Aweee

keen dome
#

Shadow Dance? Purring.

wispy pebble
#

My blizzard dbm alerts arent working. I dont get any sound when i get a mechanic

sacred gull
#

Same with big wigs

swift tinsel
#

Blizz messed up

wispy pebble
#

How the fuck do you break sound alerts

swift tinsel
#

And didn’t add encounter hooks or something like that Idr

sacred gull
#

I tried to use timeline of blizz and sounds of big wigs but something is off

wispy pebble
swift tinsel
#

Lemme see if I can find the tweet

#

Lmao

#

Ope

wispy pebble

amazing

wispy pebble
#

pretty sure 80% of the new shit is vibecoded. Cant explain it any other way

lilac stag
#

@sick epoch If you have questions let us know. We’re happy to help

azure thicket
#

they should just hire some of the turtle wow devs tbh

wispy pebble
#

Hey copilot please create a dbm clone and dont forget anything!

azure thicket
#

probably slot right in to the current direction and make the game go brrr

graceful osprey
#

I really think, if blizzard wants to make things simpler and focus on fun, scrap our current talents, have a major talent choices at each threshold and then maybe 3 or 4 minor talents in between. Many things that they made talents should be back to baseline like blind and gouge, etc

keen dome
#

Yeah, back to MoP

vale pine
#

you can reduce your button count even further with this one trick

#

macroing coup to bp

sacred gull
#

You can cast coup as coup and not as evi ?

grand wyvern
#

yes

lilac stag
#

Yes

sacred gull
#

Why did you tell me this ?

swift tinsel
#

Will that mess up my @mouseover Coup macro since clever combatant is still random

lilac stag
sacred gull
#

Now I don't need to track anything

scarlet heath
#

plus you dont have to deal with DS BS

swift tinsel
#

DS is even easier in aoe since you never cast evisc

grand wyvern
#

i feel like sub mechanics are there but the tuning is such that you can basically ignore everything

chrome palm
swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

Put SnD on A keybind

keen dome
#

I still have S&D on my bars 'cos I like pushing it between packs

sacred gull
#

Maybe you want to be able to hold coup in aoe if yoi want to keep it for next dance/blade ?

lilac stag
#

solves the rupture issue

vale pine
# lilac stag I haven’t messed with trickster yet. Assumed this was possible

no need for one button if you are already down to:

  • Builder:
    • Macro Strike/Backstab (Button 1)
    • Shuriken Storm (Button 2)
  • Finisher:
    • Secret (optional)
    • Evis (Button 3)
    • Black Powder + Coup (Button 4)
  • Cooldowns:
    • Macro Shadow Dance + Blades + (optional) Secret (Button 5)
      A total of 5 buttons, 6 if you use secret on a separate key.
swift tinsel
#

Took its rightful place on flag’s bind

#

Which was SnD before flag existed

scarlet heath
lilac stag
vale pine
#

you can use modifiers in macros

#

so you can

keen dome
sacred gull
#

You never want to hold coup in aoe ? If dance and/or blade is close from off CD ?

vale pine
#

By using modifiers we can change it to:

  • Builder:
    • Macro Strike/Backstab - Modifier: Shuriken Storm (Button 1)
  • Finisher:
    • Secret (optional)
    • Macro Evis - Modifier: Coup + BP (Button 2)
  • Cooldowns:
    • Macro Shadow Dance + Blades + (optional) Secret (Button 3)
      A total of 3 buttons, 4 if you use secret on a separate key.
keen dome
#

Ahaha, very nice

vestal escarp
#

All the more reason to trust the one button

vale pine
#

one button has the gcd problem

lilac stag
#

Using a modifier does not reduce buttons needed

vale pine
#

it does

vestal escarp
#

Which is a nonproblem for the target users

vale pine
#

i can use 3 buttons on my bars

grand wyvern
vale pine
#

and thats it

#

ofc i need to press the modifier too, so i get +1 button

lilac stag
#

Press builder without adding crt-shift-alt

vale pine
#

but even then

#

it reduces the button count

#

because you go from, lets say:

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    to
  • 1, 2, 3, modifier
#

which is 4 instead of 5 buttons

#

so a 20% reduction

grand wyvern
#

this is too hard, make modifiers toggable

sacred gull
#

I will do the BP + coup macro but with a shadow dance condition for coup, just to be able to delay coup if I see dance coming soon

mighty citrus
jolly sleet
#

i have all modifiers on mouse and use 1/2/3 too

wispy pebble
#

rebound my shadow dance in the process and now i need to retrain my muscle memory

vale pine
jolly sleet
#

macros typically look like :

/cast [mod:alt] Blind; [mod] Kidney shot; [nocombat, stealth] Sap; [stealth] Cheap shot; Kick```
vale pine
scarlet heath
#

1 = builder/filler/spam spell generator
2 = proc base spell/secondary generator
3 = single target spender
4 = AoE spell

this is how I treat every class I play KEK

jolly sleet
#

[mod:alt] being first quoted has highest priority [mod] following means [mod:shift][mod:ctrl] with way less characters

#

in case of emergency open the spellbook

azure thicket
#

have had two people mention wow on a steam deck

#

and it's a pretty neat experience tbh

i actually want to test wow on steam and freebsd

#

direct x 12 is sometomes wonky for me

fallow nimbus
#

Good that i have no raid this week, my to do list gets longer everytime i open discord

vale pine
#

so i wonder if dxvk works more reliable

azure thicket
#

ye one was playing dk the other was on a demon hunter afair

vale pine
#

backstab and strike does indeed not switch

#

still the same as before

fallow nimbus
#

Thought so

vale pine
#

stealth-strike

#

but ill try with dance

fallow nimbus
#

Someday kekw

azure thicket
#

oh right dxvk is a linux thing

idle quest
#

Just a couple of questions:

  • So Vanish is no longer in the rotation?

I tried this macro, but it doesn't seem to work. Usadona has no effect. Where could I be going wrong?
#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

vale pine
#

there is no direct x 11/12 on linux

#

so there is a translation layer in between, which maps the direkt x calls to vulkan

jolly sleet
mighty citrus
#

i just hope you guys dont come up with please backstab in dance when the moon has a full circle and the boss is not looking at you

vale pine
#

thats done with other system calls too, the program that does all of this is called wine

wispy pebble
#

Ive been using vanish after second dance in opener. Should give you premed

vale pine
#

and a part of wine is dxvk, which is the one specificallly for direct x 12 -> vulkan

#

if wine does not ring a bell

#

steam renamed their version of it to proton

#

its still very much the same thing tho^^

azure thicket
#

seen proton sitting in my library next to the sdk i use for hobby work ye lol

sand furnace
#

Does the backstab and shadow strike macro require conditions to work?

swift tinsel
#

has anyone run into issues with platynator turning all text black

shadow lance
#

Hey Fuu, I did import your bcdm profile and modified a bit but I got this kind of issue each time I log on or swap spec

#

Someone else got this kind of issue? everything stacking up

azure thicket
#

for me personally it's the blizzard dps meter header not being the same size as the header for the default m+ timer/quest tracker thing TacoRiot

shadow lance
#

It goes back to normal once I open the buffs tracking option

vale pine
#

i have not have issues so far, even tho i need to setup my profile for the other specs

wispy pebble
#

Is that bcdm? I think you have to move the bars once. Saw something in the faq. Also there is a bug with icons moving that will be fixed in next release

shadow lance
#

In editmode? Already did but I can give a shot again

vale pine
#

outlaw

#

i mean, i rly need to setup all 3 specs

#

i just haven't played the other 2 on live

shadow lance
#

Yes, I agree

vale pine
#

oh i see

shadow lance
#

Cuz it was messy when I swap specs

#

ahaha

#

But I liked the color you used for energy/CP

i think the author fixed a bug

thats why it jumps

okay, my cdm is fucked now too

time to configure it again

#

It follows the edit mode

#

Once you open /cdm

#

It goes back as saved

vale pine
#

hmm interessting

#

it is fucked for me now

#

haha

#

my bars

#

what is this

shadow lance
#

Open the tab essential

#

Should go back to normal

#

If it goes like mine

is it acceptable to start a dance with stech as a first global if the cds come up while being at 6+ cp?

velvet ravine
#

anyone figured out how to get combo points on nameplates yet?

velvet ravine
#

ok ty

lilac stag
#

Nator is easier to use and does it better imo

swift tinsel
#

btw if you sort party by role you can use

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/tar party1
/cast Tricks of the Trade
/cleartarget

to always tricks your tank

#

in place of the tricks WA

swift tinsel
earnest rune

earnest rune
#

meh. You know, it would make sense that blizz is never consistent about anything.

shadow lance
earnest rune
#

hell, they should just give us @tank and @healer aliases

swift tinsel
#

idk if I had something weird before

#

but ye sorting by role then having /cast [@party1] works

earnest rune
#

that's a good idea. I've been using stupid @focus macros for years but that makes kicking focus targets a pain

swift tinsel
#

yeah I wanted to find a workaround that didn't use focus for the same reason

earnest rune
#

well.. the workaround I adopted was just talent out of tricks 😉

tulip light
#

do we know why they keep slice as a seperate button to press? its up 100% of the time passively and they are all into pruning

tribal blade
#

there are misdirect addons, i haven't checked if the one i use still works

swift tinsel
#

cut to the chase is more so QoL

#

but could be pruned idc

alpine wraith
#

in between pulls or places you might want to slice and dice

#

as you will strike or storm from stealth anyway

#

for full cp

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

could happen that they bork yea

#

every time i log on something hides or moves around

#

think i finally fixed it yday

but im not sure

i finally finished it last night boys

#

oh no u caught me in sin

With the dark moon sigil adjustment there is no reason to use crafted offhand if you have a mythic right. Just drop lens on wrists and neck?

With SnD, is there not a time where BP finisher is better than evis; thus sometimes you won't refresh?

#

even with DN

radiant swift
#

it does give ocassionaly a error - then u jsut try a bit later and it usualy works then

finite crow
#

aight thanks

vale pine
#

on deathstalker that is

#

on trickster you use coup

bleak panther
#

yeah; that means snd could potentially drop no?

vale pine
#

yes

bleak panther
#

ok, just making sure I wasn't missing something

lilac stag
#

Time to track snd on the buff bar

bleak panther
#

I imagine its best to just ignore it and follow the prio

lilac stag
#

ignore what?

bleak panther
#

tracking snd

swift tinsel
#

ye no need to track

lilac stag
#

you’re only ignoring the evicerate in mass aoe. You’re still using it to move mark if needed. play around it how you want to.

latent plover
#

I know for ST we're not really going for mastery, but how much of a difference in dps we expecting in the prepatch in M+ if we run with ST stats?

vale pine
#

you don't want that much haste

#

so you lose quite a bit

#

like 12-15% of haste mroe

lilac stag
#

Dslice disagreed

vale pine
#

wdym scath

lilac stag
#

It kept me and prophet high haste

vale pine
#

oh ye

#

the profile has ~20%

#

iirc

latent plover
#

what about like mastery vs vers?

#

or are we wanting them around the same?

#

for M+ stats?

vale pine
#

the diffrence is probably not that big

lilac stag
#

the real answer

#

It doesn’t matter

woeful wren
#

the real question is are we gna need to use puzzle box

lilac stag
#

Prepatch.

woeful wren

cos i fkn hate that trinket

thank god

i havent logged onto wow in a while. did the prepatch simplify the classes, or is that in the future

azure thicket

ye sending damage is simplified for pretty much every class

#

less prep work

#

heard. so im bouta be bp spamming like i was in dragonflight xdd

azure thicket
#

ye, less clicking overall less actions per minute

pure dust
#

has sub retained their bursty profile?

azure thicket
#

feels like gear affects felt gameplay more

dry plank
hazy breach
#

I mean its still bursty

azure thicket
#

before you lost haste and did more quad damage

hazy breach
#

Just not as much

dry plank
#

not same lvl burst as it was

azure thicket
#

and now you want haste to actually do quad damage

hazy breach
#

Prepatch is just silly

pure dust
hazy breach
#

Theyve toned down all burst fwiw

#

Not just sub

upbeat smelt
#

Good morning ppls. New to sub here, rogue too really, gonna main one for the first time in midnight.

Love using swords as sub, really cool.

pure dust
#

ah that makes sense, I saw some of the patch notes. Looks like not just burst, but also aoe for every class is taking a hit

hazy breach
#

Moreso passive cleave than aoe

upbeat smelt
#

Question besides the obvious shadow dance, anything in the spec I should be tracking duration off? Im going to play trickster

azure thicket
#

honestly the recorded 21 run zac did of priory was more interesting than the method run where a dk and sham slammed out 70-60m and got to third boss trash pulls with 11 minutes left

#

not a lot of people can put out that much damage..statistical anomalies and all that

lilac stag
upbeat smelt
#

Also another question, how do you fit two shadow dances into one shadow blades, Im looking at duration and CDs and not getting it.

hazy breach
#

Dance is at minimum 6 seconds, blades is 16

#

6x2 < 16

azure thicket
#

get at least 20% haste tbh

#

drop the deathbound spaulders etc

mhmm

azure thicket
#

prior to getting netherprism sub felt good but also extra casts were going out

#

araz trinket helped but the gap between first and second best as far as trinkets goes was an actual gap

#

only had seaforium and lily and it felt doable but not pug proof

placid elk
#

seaforium + lilly was ok

azure thicket
#

ye wasn't throwing kidney shot either

humble fractal
#

Hey fellow OTP sub

azure thicket
#

was hella grief in retrospect

#

..if you wanted to be a nerd you'd give the perma casters like obliterators extra visual details to indicate they're worth targeting

or channel casts to indicate they're gonna start bolt spamming if they finish that cast

maybe we should just shut down this discord channel so blizz gonna do smth 100%

brittle helm
#

Are we still wanting to pool 2 shadow dances to be ready at the start of each shadowblades? Or less important now. Think the rotation guide I read just mentioned sending with shadow dance ready, but no mention of wanting or needing both

lilac stag
#

blizzard will do something when folks realize their intent was to simplify gameplay across the board.

#

neither is going to happen

lilac stag
brittle helm
#

Since we can usually fit two with enough haste, should the goal then be to put off sending a shadow dance until I know both can be used back to back in every sblade?

lilac stag
#

You can hold secret and auto attack for ~10 seconds to store combo points before blades

it can

i'm telling if it does

Class discord melting vs the actual wow population are two very different things

azure thicket
#

sorry bad shadowlands npc farm joke

azure thicket
#

ye crossplay kinda griefed every other game it touched

they should get the same client but different leaderboards etc its too insane to reconcile for more than a season or two
