soft summit

Just curious, if I have 2 targets is my builder shurikan storm and BP? Or am I still using single target? If so, how many mobs before I use AOE? Deathstalker or trickster hero talents

alpine wraith
#

that one was silly

#

2 targets you can strike

plush roost
#

Haha thats crazy theres a gigantic line coming from you!

alpine wraith
#

but also storm

#

as for bp 2 targets is fine to bp

#

you can even macro coup and bp in the same button for now if you are trickster

plush roost
#

Wait what

soft summit
#

Really? What’s that macro

hazy breach
#

Wouldnt recommend that

alpine wraith
#

yea someone found out but they can break it at any time

plush roost
#

/cast coup
/cast bp i assume?

alpine wraith
#

yea that easy but still

plush roost
#

Thats silly

alpine wraith
#

sometimes you may want to hold coup

plush roost
#

Ye ofc

#

I just was surprised that was a thing

chrome palm
#

Surely coup holding dead

hazy breach
#

Nop

soft summit
#

Hold coup for shadow dance yah?

azure thicket
#

also ran an attempt at a plexus kill with pugs

alpine wraith
#

i also didnt believe until i logged in and ehehe

azure thicket
#

they ignored adds on mythic

chrome palm
#

The tuning is so free

azure thicket
chrome palm
#

I did some 21s and never even hit feint

alpine wraith
#

you can still hold coup or 1 stack of mark if you are about to enter dance

#

but tbh we have so much dance uptime it feels weird

plush roost
#

Ye day 1 me forrest bansh and wox did eco 24 and gambit 24 with like 11 deaths

#

Tuning XD

alpine wraith
#

it is very silly

chrome palm
#

Tww remix man

plush roost
#

Real

#

But yeah you hold coup if sectec dance is coming up in 5ish seconds i wanna say. Supercharged apex coups are insane

#

Ive been pooling a bit before hand as well

#

Like sht stacks

#

Have to cancel aura apex on sec tec but w.e

azure thicket
#

netherprism is honestly still really good its not supported currently

hazy breach
#

You just macro that into sectech

#

And forget about it

soft summit
#

Do we have a soft haste cap we aiming for?

azure thicket
#

almost beat a frost mage just forgot it was there

hazy breach
azure thicket
#

weakaura trinket tbh

#

but also possible in addons right?

plush roost
#

I wonder if the next minmax is to have a seperate cancel aura macro so you can 2 seconds before sec tec is up go cancel aura evis, prime apex, dance coup, sec tec so youre not wasting disorienting but not wasting sec tec cdr

#

Thoughts eleem?

But also it won’t work

just saying one of our 6/8m tanks is missing a hand cause of a motorcycle accident

#

it's okay to be mean to rookies they deserve it

#

parse would be 7/8 but the holidays y'know

#

heck em to the max

Christmas holidays eviscerated our roster

We ended up 7/8 too PepeHands

we got to platforms before things totally dissolved

actual burn phase lost to santa 🙁

pure dust
#

I just re-subbed. wow sub feels different

#

lol

honest saddle
#

Just noticed the pin message. What kind of psycho recrafted for prepatch. I want names!

#

I need to know who the serial killers are in this chat.

modern pond
#

can someone explain, why we want to use dance on low cp's? wouldnt you want to build up combo point for instant sec tec? 😄

honest saddle
#

Might be lash macabre

#

Unsure

#

actually that wouldnt matter. Yeah, unsure on why you'd build first

sweet turret
azure thicket
#

strike got buffed

#

afair

lilac stag
#

You’re better off dance + Sectech if you risk missing a global in dance

steel horizon
#

yeah i thought the play is macro sectec to dance and and send on full cp so u dont waste dance time

pure dust
#

I would figure you want to get as many shadowstrikes as you can during dance, so you would want to go in low combo points, but i am sure there is a better explanation

lilac stag
#

You can’t macro dance + strike

sweet turret
honest saddle
#

Shadowstrike is good, but don't think its more dam than evis or tech.

lilac stag
#

It’s not been a thing since TWW

sweet turret
lilac stag
#

It does not

hazy breach
#

Yeah you can with backstab

lilac stag
#

There’s a delay from Stab changing to strike

hazy breach
#

You cant with strike

#

It doesnt work

hazy breach
#

Not entirely sure why

azure thicket
#

dsm and dn hurt

#

lingering darkness is extremely fat

honest saddle
#

I wonder if the reason it prefers low cp

azure thicket
#

i would guess

honest saddle
#

Is because the Sim otherwise might do a 6 point tech

#

And low cp guarantees 7

hazy breach
#

It does not

azure thicket
#

20m dn/ld/shiv crit on big momma during vuln phase etc

hazy breach
#

Fwiw DN does pissall damage in comparison to Coup

#

Especially since youll be proccing the apex on it

fallow nimbus
#

Dance + strike works but needs 2 presses

chrome palm
#

trickster gameplay: find the target that ate your clever combatant to hit with coup omegalul

#

time for aim trainer

hazy breach
#

Yeah both of those bugs should get fixed

honest saddle
#

should

fallow nimbus
#

Trickster should always proc on target and only if you have none go random

crystal bone
#

double coup was such a good feeling

#

u will be missed

fallow nimbus
#

But that's probably harder to code than unkrangle sectec clones

chrome palm
#

i was thinking

#

maybe you could dance -> secret -> shiv -> coup, if you have 4x EB already

#

i suppose cheap shot would work as well

hazy breach
#

Does not

#

It doesn't generate cp if it doesn't stun

chrome palm
#

yeah just on a non boss

#

wait do umbral edge clones proc shadow techniques from ancient arts

earnest rune
#

anyone got the simc strings for Screams of a Forgotten Sky and Perfidious Projector?

chrome palm
#

like could you cheap shot at low sht at the beginning of dance

hazy breach
#

I mean you could

#

But why

sweet turret
#

big stun or cast stop

chrome palm
#

like if you have the above scenario, but not a lot of sht

#

so its easier to get the coup clone

#

if you only have 1-2 sht

hazy breach
#

You could cheap shot for a clone of strike, or you could just cast strike which does more

chrome palm
#

yeah but

#

the strike isnt a guaranteed clone

hazy breach
#

Strike does more than the clone

chrome palm
#

im saying if you dont think youll get an apex refund off the coup

#

because youre low on sht

#

maybe you cheap shot to generate sht from the clone

#

via apex 2

#

well they dont proc sht anyways of course, what did i expect

azure thicket
#

just make the raid bosses and associated add phases after lfr difficulty thicc

#

should be fun

sweet turret
#

is it worth it to renew the subscription currently?

#

maybe for assa even

chrome palm
#

if you arent subbed

lilac stag
#

Do you want to play the game?

chrome palm
#

just wait until midnight

#

theres nothing to do rn

#

on prepatch

sweet turret
#

having a 3 month break currently

There’s shenanigans. Nothing all to serious. If you haven’t seen TWW content you’d likely find stuff to do

ok but

clone bugs fixed before blades numerical bug

blades rework confirmed copium

lilac stag

tooltip bugged dead

chrome palm
#

not getting extra combo points is more than a tooltip bug

upbeat smelt
#

For you guys that played beta how is our Apex talent? On paper seams meh.

soft summit
#

do we want to build 6 combo points then go into shadow dance ->sec tech... or do we want to start off with no combo points, hit shadow dance, shadow strike then sec tech

i already have my loot sheet updated as much, tho i don't know all item levels yet to do a midnigth version of !up yet

i like yours more

This is it now boys i gues

#

Dont think i can do bether than this

ye, we haven't found a good replacement for the one who did a similar format

every ancient arts ii bug fixed is a lock of my hair that doesnt turn gray from not having a shaman

so i just started to do one on my own ^^

steel horizon
#

Cus depending on your haste you might have a weird dance timer like 7.2 seconds for example. so if you were to waste any time in between globals, then you miss a global

#

But im not sure if darkest night takes prio over sectec if entering dance on full cp

soft summit
#

k thanks

upper cosmos
#

so is there no longer a way to have the ace sound effect play when shadowcraft refunds?

chrome palm
#

no more cdr or anything on secret technique so as long as it gets supercharged it should be fine to eviscerate for dn first

#

not a real difference there

steel horizon
#

The only issue i can see with doing sectec first is that you're technically "wasting" a stack of deathstalkers mark because theres nothing for the sectec to consume if dn is up

#

But again idk how much of a difference that is over the course of a fight.

tepid trellis
#

similar to PS procs

#

and heating up for firemage

woeful wren
#

keep in mind the longer u delay sectech the less overall u may get to cast

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.

/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
chrome palm
#

huge difference for delaying darkest night/deathstalkers mark

steel horizon
#

So i guess its still good to have a no macro dance on a seperate keybind for when this happens

#

Or a dance+evis macro. I guess that works too

chrome palm
#

I think it’s apparently quite a bit more damage to dance at low cp as ds but the reason isn’t known afaik

plush roost
# hazy breach I dont get what youre trying to accomplish

This may be more aoe centric since youd rather not hold globals and pool in aoe. Say you have 4 stacks of escalating, you cancel aura your ancient arts and finish with bp before your next dance, so you can trigger the ancient arts on your coup -> storm -> sectec is what im trying to infer, surely this is a gain since youre up one unseen blade doing this

#

Which can matter even more for something like your sblades, since that one extra unseen proc can lead into another supercharged coup and be less rng

i was playing with a beastmaster hunter earlier and he told me his rotation was basically 3 buttons too

and he was topping dps

Meanwhile u just press boomstick and just top the meters

I dont have too much experience in wow. Ive been playing solo casual for a while now

Yeah

vale pine

gear caps out at 170

so 170 is theoretically the max

I mean ye but with crafted items that you need you cant be 170

But ye fuu has a point

torn tide

What dps are you guys seeing right now in keys? Just wondering if I am getting close

anyone know whats a decent overall damage on 16 keys (eco)

So now what. In midnight I just mostly press 2 buttons ?

rustic mortar
#

2 ST 2 AOE and CDs

uneven scarab
#

in midnight you will be playing sub rogue with your toes

subtle hazel
#

Hmmm

fathom pendant
#

now the dps loss for 1 button rotation is 9%

lilac stag
subtle hazel
#

I'll use obr and watch Netflix

rustic mortar
#

its like fdk but without grips and tankiness

uneven scarab
#

we are pretty tanky idk

stuck lance
#

Biggest win is sword mogs

rustic mortar
#

yes but fdk is more tanky 😄

fathom pendant
#

blizz did a survey to add tank rogues, stay tunned

f that

#

Healer rogue would be better

#

throw vials

subtle hazel
#

Daggers look cooler

stuck lance
#

Sword look cool too

lilac stag
#

just a reminder, assa is more difficult than sub now because they have to press envenom… a lot.

fathom pendant
#

assasin have more to press than sub

uneven scarab
#

He spoke the truth and they wouldnt listen

subtle hazel
#

I like assa

lilac stag
fathom pendant
#

assasin is lazy now with 1 button u spread garrote and rupture on AoE

uneven scarab

yea its easy

How can you fuck up dance

uneven scarab

every spec has shadow crash now

subtle hazel

Aff still has to tab rather Agony

but i wont rat them out

fathom pendant
#

on prepatch logs sub is the top spec of the rogues

alpine wraith

yea turns out when bosses last 1 or 2 mins

#

the spec that use cds twice is good

fathom pendant
#

I think we are top 5 dps atm

uneven scarab
#

Tends to make you look good ya

#

no

lilac stag
#

yea we actually have burst and there are short kill times. It’s like heroic week 1 omegalul

uneven scarab
#

Dont think top 5 matters when uh is doing double our damage

alpine wraith
#

i mean it has been what like almost 8 yers

#

of heroic kek week

#

situations

#

think uh got slammed

to the ground

uneven scarab

Yeah it did

with the uhdk nerf we are probably top 4 now kekdog

alpine wraith

literally GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT

subtle hazel
#

Don't you just make sure to dance and then sech tech

alpine wraith
#

yea hard right

subtle hazel
#

Or is it more complex

slate lantern
alpine wraith
#

but you also need to snipe the adds

#

with that sec tech

uneven scarab
#

In theory its that easy

#

but theres alot more going on

subtle hazel
#

Maybe saving two dances for blades but then you will miss sech tech dance

fathom pendant
#

I still press the rupture key when playing so sad 🤣

subtle hazel
#

One

uneven scarab
#

I keep cheap shotting on accident bc its where my rupture key used to be

subtle hazel
#

If obr is only 9% loss that means most will list better with it

#

Going by wcl

uneven scarab
#

9% is alot

subtle hazel
#

Most people play under perfect sim

#

Some guy did the math once

uneven scarab
#

Yeah not by 9% though

subtle hazel
#

Probably more but of course

uneven scarab
#

obr is not a one button solution to your problems

subtle hazel
#

Depends on spec

uneven scarab
#

i hate to break it to you

fathom pendant
#

I only use 1 button rotation on alts on my main rogue I like to play normally

uneven scarab
#

any competent player with any sense of skill will do 100x better playing normally

subtle hazel
#

Im not gonna use it I just think most people are better with it going by this math one guy did

lilac stag
subtle hazel
#

Most players are bad

uneven scarab
#

Yeah, those players you’re talking about typically dont set foot into raid or m+

fathom pendant
#

but 1 button rotation is fine I grabbed like 5 elite sets with it on pvp

subtle hazel
#

Well the guy used Heroic raid logs, but not mythic then yeah those players will be way bettee

uneven scarab
#

Difference is smaller than youd think

#

its really a difference of time spent

subtle hazel
#

So do you save 2 dance for blades

uneven scarab
#

Yes

sad we wont get them

upbeat smelt
#

Do we ever use CS and KS in a rotation for any reason, or is this more of a bonus and the real benefit here is the +15% damage to clones?

uneven scarab
#

its the clone damage

#

Like that’s probably nice for pvp but its never something youd prio in pve

#

you dont use those abilities rotationally, just as util

upbeat smelt
#

Ok I figured, was surprised to see this talent recommended in the icy veins and wowhead guides, but I didnt really know what part of our dmg comes from clones to know if that 15% is good or not

uneven scarab
#

quite alot

upbeat smelt
#

Can someone explain to me like I'm extra special how our Apex talents work??

upbeat smelt
uneven scarab
#

yeah, its just not great in aoe

#

better in st

#

im not sure about the apex though havent read much about them

upbeat smelt
#

I really wish they made the clones more substantial so you could see better when it happens, or at least have a glyph for it or something

uneven scarab
#

what you dont love the little purple fart clones

#

that are like impossible to see garf_sit

upbeat smelt
#

Yeah lol Im a sucker for visuals, im tripping over sub with swords seeing the shadow effects more prominent.

uneven scarab
#

Nah i completely agree though, visuals are some of my favorite parts of this game

i wish the clones were a bit more detailed

any knowers?

trickster and DS will have different values.

idk what you’re trying to sim for

Anything more than a 2-3 minute sim is lulz for raid at this point

why couldnt they let at least 1 rogue spec a little harder to play chat ..

ngl coming from sub rogue last season to frost mage now.. seeing the opener being 4 buttons made me laugh out loud

west tide

cause they all braindead

#

sub and outlaw were hard!

#

they coulda let one spec keep some complexity man

dry plank
#

Sub was not hard

lilac stag
#

Sub was confusing

west tide
#

we play it

lilac stag
#

Not hard

west tide
#

think outside of ourselves

dry plank
west tide
#

sub is hardd for people to pick up

#

hard to master

kind edge
#

i liked the way sub was tbh

lilac stag
#

Because it was designed like shit omegalul

kind edge
#

and dont crucify me, but i liked rupture too lol

upbeat garden
#

I already wanna kill myself with the new sub playstyle ,there is no fun

dry plank
#

Easy rotation does not mean easy to play

upbeat garden
#

If numbers are bad I wont

dry plank
#

I randomly enjoy pressing buttons on sub hehe

upbeat garden
#

rn prepatch doesnt matter

lilac stag
#

It’s a game. If you’re not having fun, why are you playing?

upbeat garden
#

Ye but I want to have fun on the spec and class I played for 15 + years

uneven scarab
#

Its not even midnight yet either, cant really fully judge specs

#

Pre patch is always a mess

kind edge
lilac stag
#

I genuinely have no idea what people expected when they flat out stated they wanted the gameplay to be more approachable for everyone.

kind edge
#

i just subbed again to fix all the UI, thats it

warm marlin
#

It’ll get a bit better with the apex

warm marlin
#

Not much though

upbeat garden
west tide
#

i just hope eventually they think its ok for some specs to be harder than others

dry plank
#

Without back to back finishers sitting on 14 sht feels bad yeah

upbeat garden
#

I dont think wow gained any new players for years

#

real new players ,not players who came back

west tide
#

i just want to be challenged a little sometimes in raid we shall see if raid will have enough added complexity to balance this out

kind edge
#

because IMO WoW inst very noob friendly

west tide
#

they did state they are reducing cognitive load in specs to add into raid

#

so lets see lol

uneven scarab
#

I hope that third raid is extremely hard

upbeat garden

whyspyr testing raid rn

#

go watch

I hope the raid and classes are easy so I can get my CE and go back to Poe 🙏

west tide
#

i dont play the game for parses anyways

#

thats a noob way to play

signal moth
west tide
#

tbh its still not noob friendly cause you have to level

#

lowkeyly

kind edge
#

i just laughed cuz i know thats how most ppl feel, and its legit to feel that way

uneven scarab
#

i mean i learned in bfa, i think i was probably lucky bc the game wasnt very hard then

#

before the talent changes i think it was alot less overwhelming

signal moth
#

@kind edge the problem my mate had was it doesnt teach you anything, so he got to max then had no idea what to do.. 90% of his abilities came too fast so he had no idea what they did, he didnt use defensives cause he never needed to when leveling (he picked prot pala) he had no idea where to go in a dungeon etc lol it was awful

dry plank
dry plank

But game for newcomers are not friendly at all

anyones weapons gettin broken more often

i got a theory we are bugged rn and my durability going down too fast

vale pine

possible

#

pre patch this time is quite a clown fiesta

#

i don't think we had the game in a similar broken state before

dry plank
steel horizon
#

Are recrafts still broken?

dry plank

But not always

With all the add on bs and changes I definitely saw this pre patch being a hot mess. I doubt its all going to be fixed before live.

vale osprey
uneven scarab

It’s definitely going down faster

#

im having to repair it like twice as much i was before

lilac stag
#

Is all the extra haste and melee attacks

i think blizzard atm have way more stuff to do than fix how fast weapons are getting broken, since alot of stuff is broken ahah

#

im with 5% haste only

sucks to be you omegalul

Get your recrafts in before it breaks again

i wont change stuff until midnight launch, it doesnt matter atm. im in pre patch mode 😛

So apparently the problem is 'cos he used AI but not because this code is big optimized, lmao, sure, I believe him 100%

wispy pebble
#

Sadly with blizz purging well known addons we now have weirdos vibe codind new ones

uneven scarab
#

its all open source code is it not anyway

#

like OMEGAKEKW

wispy pebble
#

yea the license allows stealing

#

well "reusing" as long as your code is open source as well

uneven scarab
#

Right

lilac stag
#

Quazii issue is a blizzard ToS. He’s paywalling an addon which’s a no no.

uneven scarab
#

hasnt his ui always been paywalled

bleak night
#

Its funny because its not different at all from people having ui behind subs or whatever

#

But those weren't technically addons

#

They were profiles

lilac stag
uneven scarab
#

Yeah thats pretty cooked then

wispy pebble
#

maybe ill learn lua and write my own cooldown manager reskin. Im getting annoyed

lilac stag
#

now the addon itself is paywalled

#

Which is no no

uneven scarab
#

one of the easiest

bleak night
#

Other uis were full pay walled previously

wispy pebble
uneven scarab

Just wait then

#

give it a few weeks we’ll have addons out the ass

There's gonna be a fuck ton to come out

And we sort through the rubbish

Just to replace weakauras

uneven scarab
#

Im pretty much just waiting on cell, even though the unitframe part of it wont seem to work unfortunately

lilac stag
#

honestly Elv likely going to be best bet until dust settles on better coded approaches

wispy pebble
uneven scarab
#

Grok is this real

wispy pebble
#

i dont need to vibecode since i can actually code XD

bleak night
#

Mechahitler make an addon that puts xalatath feet on my screen

jolly sleet
#

thats the way to go : asking link to accurate documentation regarding a specific request

#

vibe coding is bad coding

steel horizon
#

Do any of the CDM add-ons allow you to put a permanent glow on an icon? The blizzard one glows for like 2 seconds and then it goes back to normal

lilac stag
#

misty compass
#

But they are like kk you can have 1.5 sec of glow

steel horizon
#

I know man

misty compass
#

And also sound notification which can be delayed but 10 seconds

#

And may not even work at all

lilac stag
#

arc right now is closest to WA features

misty compass

Thanks, blizz, i needed to know my cooldown is ready 10 secs after it's ready OMEGAKEKW

alpine wraith

just realized they did some changes to assa and outlaw

but sub remains unbothered

lilac stag

What changes

alpine wraith

someone had to ask me about rogue after the changes

#

and i was like wait

steel horizon
alpine wraith
bleak night
#

Oh you mean them shitting on bf

#

Yeah i think in this case sub is probably happier not getting changes

sullen hare
#

I think they trimmed too much and I'm gonna miss my CDR but the cdr is just kinda baked in and symbols getting baked into dance is a good thing too

#

I'm not a rupture hater fwiw

lilac stag
#

I am hahaha fwiw

sullen hare
#

yeah but you're cute so it's okay

lilac stag
#

If they can fix goremaws / add a 45 sec cd and I think it’d be perfect

sullen hare
#

I wouldn't mind goremaws being a passive

red vortex
sullen hare
#

kinda like how cb is now

sullen hare
#

and instead of being 3 finishers with no cost, make it a chance on generator to cause the finisher to be 10 energy less or something

#

it wouldn't be super overwhelming and skyrocket the APM but it would make it less of a dead talent

lilac stag
#

They just need to make it hit like a truck and get rid of the energy component

sullen hare
#

yeah, I mean we could use a little piano at this point

#

make it line up with dance / every other / every third or w/e

haughty mural
lilac stag
#

I get why they disjointed Sectech to give you something to track, I think I’d like to see the CDR with combopoint back on it

haughty mural
#

Im not that sold only playing m+ for now this week

lilac stag
#

For me it was a nice mix of pacing and being able to focus on mechanics that I’ve had audible WAs with.

sullen hare
lilac stag
#

It felt comfy, and I still needed to watch dance / Sectech for blades if the fight lasted long enough

haughty mural
#

So it is kinda fine for you ? That was somewhat a big concern for you - the accessibility

sullen hare
#

the guild that I was helping work on salad bar before the patch just got to the point where they were starting to bounce stars and this week they just walked in and 1 shot it

lilac stag
#

Oh that part is gonna be a wait and see with new raid

lilac stag
#

The visuals are awful. The ghosts without being able to adjust contrasts with a WA were um… something.

sullen hare
#

I mean it's essentially asking for the same thing they did to CB. I'm not exactly some kinda gigabrain over here woweeGiggle

uneven scarab
#

i do feel like i want another button though

#

ngl

haughty mural
uneven scarab
#

but shrug we cope

sullen hare
#

I think wm+rs is typical for ST builds

#

since they're both shadow clone jutsu talents

lilac stag
#

but bliz sound alerts aren’t working

#

so that don’t help either

serene thunder
#

Does anyone know if sims are at all accurate for subtlety? Or, if not, how much damage a close-to-fully-geared subtlety rogue should be doing in prepatch?

haughty mural
sullen hare
#

I wasn't even getting system messages until I went into my chat settings and unclicked/reclicked them

haughty mural
sullen hare
haughty mural
#

What bothers me also is the bad implemented damage meter

#

Can’t even see what a min max hit is

sullen hare
#

yeah. just use details, which is essentially a reskin of it with less data than tww but it's still a huge improvements over base

#

for example: your min/maxes are there

haughty mural
#

Details also does weird shit

sullen hare
#

no? let me dig something up

#

details, if you haven't, I would definitely recommend completely resetting

lilac stag
#

@haughty mural you should boomstick if you raid this week

sullen hare
#

mine got reset to defaults

#

oh! I misspoke. You're right they don't have min/maxes just avg

#

yeah that's pretty doodoo unforch

uneven scarab
#

is scrolling combat text out the window? like seeing damage numbers on enemies

sullen hare
#

logs should still have min/max so I guess I'm gonna become one of those auto loggers for everything

haughty mural
haughty mural
#

For reference for a quick hint I just did hit some birds in Dornogal with one ability and made 46k
Avg shows 8.99m and rest of the numbers are also all over the place

haughty mural
lilac stag
#

logs for the min max

haughty mural
#

I can guess what my hits look like 2ez

uneven scarab
#

if the meter ends up staying like this it'll be pretty depressing tho imo

haughty mural
uneven scarab
#

like its so useless lmfao

haughty mural
uneven scarab
#

compared to what we've had in the past

sullen hare
haughty mural
#

Yes.. also horrible

#

Looking forward to raid tho anyway
M+ on the other hand felt a bit bland the couple of keys i did - not gonna lie

kind edge
#

i dont know why blizzard want to hide the information that details provided, whats wrong about it ?

#

im ok with that they wanna remove the most of stuff about addons, but in that case about details i dont like too

Less Info less tears about tuning

kind edge

that wont change anything imo, ppl will cry anyway about this and that

pseudo sail
#

how is sub to play on prepatch? people on reddit saying they butchered the spec even tho it needed changes. Is it that simple now?

alpine wraith
#

it is quite simpler yes

#

think there was a wowhead post and i also did my opinion

#

when apex comes and they fix the bugs it will be more interactive in midnight at least

#

but the funny thing is there is like 2 or 3 traps from bugs too

#

like wasting apex on sec tech

#

or not charging sec tech

haughty mural
#

Standard resource bar does have charged cps right ?

alpine wraith
#

sensei also has them

#

oh and i think pre dancing does work

#

to get 2 superchargers

#

actually let me check fast lest i scam people

#

maybe it got fixed

pseudo sail
haughty mural
#

Couldn’t make it work on quaziis unforch

alpine wraith

could ask sensei how he did it

we lacked quite a bit of big orb damage

Did you see that they fixed blades charrend

plush roost
hazy breach

On live

plush roost
#

I did

hazy breach
#

And they fixed sectech

plush roost

But not beta!

shell willow
#

Oh okay myb

hazy breach
#

So it now gives 2 sht stacks with apex

plush roost
#

Wait sec tec is fixed too???

#

Sheeesh

#

This spec is gonna be so broken lmfao

shell willow
#

Fine with me. Sin looking doa

alpine wraith
#

interesting

hazy breach
#

If they fix so shadowcraft works on those too

#

Then we pog out

alpine wraith
#

yea if we get 4 with shadowcraft it will be big

plush roost
#

Yeee that will nerf sub methinks

#

They may leave it alone but if that goes through

#

Idk

alpine wraith
#

first 2 week heroes

shell willow
#

Are you running the haste trinket?

alpine wraith
#

we cant escape the allegations

plush roost
#

Heroic week legend!

alpine wraith
#

there are not great trinkets

#

so yea likely we may run that one although

#

haste is not as big in beta

shell willow
#

Just curious what charrend ran for the test

plush roost
#

The 1:30 flag trinky ye

hazy breach
#

From a while back when i calculated how much cp we lost due to the bugs

alpine wraith
#

have to remember to wait 0,4 to drop it tho!

hazy breach
#

As you can see the shadowcraft one is very impactful. As practically every strike procs 1 sht

plush roost
alpine wraith
#

didnt check tbh

#

but big if true

hazy breach
#

Yes the trinket gives stats immediately

alpine wraith
#

POG

plush roost
#

Such a wild stat man

hazy breach
#

There is a 90s crit trinket too

plush roost
#

Just -35 finishers

hazy breach
#

But it gives way less stats than the haste one

plush roost
#

Yeee idk if i like that one

alpine wraith
#

think i like the haste one better tbh

uneven scarab
#

haste one seems good anyways we just get a giga duration dance ya

shell willow
#

Haste one probably better

alpine wraith
#

as long as you get tier set for 20 secs blades it seems good

shell willow
#

feelycraft but you can allocate more stats elsewhere

alpine wraith
#

but idk

hazy breach
#

Problem is that every haste breakpoint is ~500

#

Not 650

shell willow
#

Damn a lot of wasted stats in turn

alpine wraith
#

well we wont get it at max ilvl mythic likely

#

might stick with hero track or champion for a bit

hazy breach
#

Baseline hc is 577

alpine wraith
#

well at least we can math things out

#

imo i would get at least 0.2 or so extra

plush roost
#

I think hero flag will keep us strong for all of prog ngl

alpine wraith
#

likely

shell willow
#

good enough

hazy breach
#

Well i am assuming 0.2 extra, but that doesnt even matter for this comparison

#

Since its linear

alpine wraith
#

getting to 10 secs with trinket up and you piggyback it is good

hazy breach
#

For reference (at lvl 90 ofc, not 80)

alpine wraith
#

i was doing some quirky things and using pot inside first dance so it lasts through the other 2 and you dont overshoot making the first one too long

#

so you get the second and third longer ones but idk

#

pots will be weird if they dont nerf them

#

so maybe we go to like 2x% haste or a bit less

grand summit
#

So with proper haste weights in Midnight, how long is Shadow dance looking to be?

#

8 seconds?

plush roost
#

Like 7-8 but enough for 8 globals. If u use haste trinky can go higher during cds

west tide
#

i got pi in raid and bros

#

i was hittin hella globals in dance

hazy breach
#

You dont get more globals in dance because of PI

bleak night
west tide
#

alright

#

LMAO

#

bro isnt it haste

bleak night
#

its ok

#

walk it off

bleak night
west tide
#

what the heyll

bleak night
#

so no bloodlust/pi

hazy breach
west tide
#

hmm ok i felt longer ..

#

placebo..

#

dam so pi trash for sub..

hazy breach
#

Yep

plush roost
#

Tho, you do kinda proc hella apex talents with PI

#

Its not better than other classes

#

But it sure goes.brrrrr

hazy breach
#

Pretty sure its just more sht stacks after your blades end

plush roost
#

Idk when im in lust i kindof strike evis evis strike evis evis every dance

#

U get hella

hazy breach
#

Ok yeah i simmed it

#

It sits at 14 stacks of sht

#

For 18 seconds during opener

formal sleet
#

haven't played in over a year. why does stealth keep breaking? even when standing still, using no abilities or anything

hazy breach
#

Or well, it drops down after apex, but its over 14 before you can strike again. Overall sht overcap goes from 7 to 24

hazy breach
formal sleet
hazy breach
#

Yes get rid of the intellect dagger

formal sleet
hazy breach
#

Seems like BL is kinda mediocre as well

grand summit
#

BL?

hazy breach
#

Bloodlust

hazy breach
#

It sims ~2%

warm marlin
#

or dance globals too strong

#

swapping my ring out to crit/vers once im getting pi

#

holy moly

hazy breach
#

Cant be arsed to look more into it, as it would change if/when they fix sht bugs

#

Like they fixed one now, but its not fixed in simc yet

#

But wasnt PI like 1.5% or something before?

#

2% seems fairly similar, and not worthwhile

grand summit
warm marlin
#

the question right above it, just memeing about swapping stats once pi giving the haste u need. probably not actually a good idea

chrome palm
shrewd lantern
hazy breach
shrewd lantern
#

of haste gives what the spell used to

hazy breach
#

But yes the extra sectech in the other blades is probably most of those 2%

shrewd lantern
#

i cant wait

#

to get parried on sectech

hazy breach
#

Pretty sure you cant

#

Also hopefully we play trickster anyway, in which case parry doesnt exist

shrewd lantern

i think someone showed sectech clones could be

#

even as

tribal blade
#

ello

#

how many times will people come in here saying sub is simple now i wonder

#

need a tally count

hazy breach
#

Tbf to some people subs identity was "being hard to play"

#

First and foremost

tribal blade
#

ngl i've been feeling kinda an ego hit to sub becoming so simple

#

made me set up outlaw and get the rotation down

sick basin

tribal blade

but i imagine for vet sub players it feels like kindergarten now

#

vet subs should feel like this dude

kind edge
hazy breach
#

The least obnoxious is 100000% trickster

#

And if its close most people will play trickster, as is evidenced by all of tww nobody really wants to play deathstalker

radiant swift
#

does anyone have a classic aoe dmg breakdown for skills perhaps?

bleak night
#

deathstalker gonna go from not being played by one spec an entire expansion to not being played by either spec an entire expansion

#

now that fatebound is viable in aoe

fallow nimbus
#

Theme is good, mark is shit

hazy breach
#

Unless theyre tuned really poorly i suspect the top rogues will play deathstalker because its slightly more priority damage

bleak night
#

good thing im not a top rogue so i can play the less annoying one

#

sometimes sucking is good

haughty mural
#

Rejoice

kind edge
#

And higher the key, more value it gains

hazy breach
#

Well at some point if you only care about the priority damage and nothing else

#

Youre better of just eviscerating anyway right

#

And then singular focus doesnt matter much
