meanwhile WM clones take 0.2-0.3s

warm marlin
#

hmm. they're 1/1.3 on live

#

where did 0.6/1.2 come from

north schooner
#

I do like the delay on sectec though. It gives you time to turn around and look at the camera

warm marlin
#

maybe it was 0.3/0.6 and they doubled the timings in an undocumented change?

north schooner
#

Shrugeg you can't even know what's intended

that from my reclear

Akaari no Ferrari

warm marlin
#

sure looks like 0.6/1.2 to me

#

cursed!

north schooner
#

hmm WM does seem different between prepatch and beta

#

in beta it seems like WM and apex are both 0.6s

#

maybe they made them all the same in a recent build

#

prepatch WM is 0.3s or so

#

so akaari formed a union with the other shadow clones and they are all equally delayed

No clue, very little, 71 ilvl new ding so

sick basin
#

So I know in ST we can push haste super high like 30%+ but I've seen seen different ranges for M+. Is there like a base breakpoint or just a general 14-20% vibe?

vale pine
#

you usually want to be above 12%

#

after that its sim time

#

the profile uses around 20% for dungeon slice

sick basin
#

I think I'm like 12% and was debating re crafting for more haste

tribal marsh
#

does more haste make you more rage starved or less?

hazy breach
#

You have infinite energy during your cooldowns either way

#

And outside of your cooldowns youre not doing much damage regardless

sick basin
#

Also is it just me or does feint usage feel rough/impossible outside of dance? Feels that way as Assa as well

bleak wind
#

Is haste affecting first dance intended (if its haste that is making it longer)

hazy breach
#

Presumably since it wasnt like that at the start and it got changed

warm marlin
#

especially since you dont have cdr anymore

sick basin
#

True

bleak wind
#

also would you just send a sec tech outside of dance when dance is not up or is it better to wait? Keeps happening after second blades and I've been doing a naked sec tech and then dance just lines up better for the next blades as well

hazy breach
#

Probably, just depends on how much haste you have

dry plank
hazy breach
#

If it just makes you get +1 sectech cast without losing anything then why not

bleak wind

ye thats what Im thinking as well

grand pumice
#

as a long time sin enjoyer tried out sub today now that its simple enough for me to play (felt pretty nice) am i doing my sht right if i just pop my cd:s and build and spend my combo points at 5-6 or are the some nuances

#

prio on the secret technique and then evi on st and blackpowder on aoe

fallow nimbus
#

Finish with 6+

elder saddle
#

Why do we play with Danse macabre if we don't really play around? I don't get it

vale pine
#

you still proc it 3 times in dance

#

thats enough

vale pine
#

they buffed the damage by like 150% to make us pick it

crystal bone
#

but blizz i want to play my own build

elder saddle
#

They should buff it again IMO, to force us to use backstab/shuriken tempest during SD 🙃

hazy breach
#

Shadowstrike and evis

crystal bone
#

how dare it not proc with sectec

hazy breach
#

Not coup either'

vale pine
#

secret?

crystal bone
#

a bug? garf_sit

hazy breach
#

Does not trigger it

vale pine
#

oh, i missed that

hazy breach
#

Clone eviscerate does trigger it though

#

But not coup or sectech

Apex only lets us refund once right? so stacking higher is pointless or

vale pine
#

you can't refund multiple in a row

#

need to use a builder in between

#

if thats the question

woeful wren
#

ye, was just a question of is there a point to pre stacking other than first refund

also do we have any numbers on beta trinkets yet*

I wonder what NuSub's song would be..

haughty mural
#

Can you guys choose your arc profile on other chars without importing the string ?

#

As in just choose the profile via the drop down

swift tinsel
#

nope

#

gotta set up every time

#

even when you switch specs

#

thankfully you can import but its a bit of an annoying step

haughty mural
#

Thanks

swift tinsel
#

if you generate the export string on one spec then swap specs without logging out/back in the string itself should still be there so you can paste it in the import box directly below it

broken seal
#

I just saw some Youtuber saying that we must use shuriken storm while shadow dance when we are facing +3 target. But if we play trickster, is it still worth it ? because we need to setup coup de grace by using shadowstrike/backstab. So if we are spamming aoe spells even while the burst window, we are just loosing an important spell right ?

lilac stag
#

You should be able to select a profile and copy it

#

@haughty mural @swift tinsel

swift tinsel
#

specs have their own profile list and can't reference other spec's lists

#

and if you edit the Default profile, it is specific to that spec

lilac stag
#

correct. but just duplicate it and adjust

#

Don’t need to import / export

swift tinsel
#

you can't

lilac stag
#

you can unless it changed

warm marlin
vale pine

you can copy a layout within a spec

why is the shadow version of shadowstrike hitting for more than double the original strike

caught raidbots lacking

hazy breach
hazy breach

bleak wind
#

ye this doesn't seem normal

alpine wraith
#

only thing i can think about is some things getting double dipped to hell

#

maybe the crit dmg applies again

hollow spear
#

They should aura nerf us just to make sure

hazy breach
# velvet nova caught raidbots lacking

And for anybody curious, its doing this because sometimes its casting dance at like 45 energy so it cant afford to strike, but if i put energy>=50 the sim hates it and it shows like -2%

#

So not sure how to fix, but as i said it shouldnt really impact much

warm marlin
#

delaying a high cp start dance for energy could be why its losing damage?

hazy breach
#

Ye

#

It hates it regardless

swift tinsel
bleak wind
#

also deathstalker currently doesn't do dance->finisher, which seems wrong

hazy breach
#

Yeah because its like -2% to do it in simc

bleak wind
#

same energy reasons?

#

or something else

hazy breach
#

Dont think so

#

Not sure why

#

But ive tried a bunch of stuff and nothing seemed better than simply having it be <=2 cp

violet palm
#

It doesn’t seems wrong to me. More Shadowstrike casts better than buffed fibishers

bleak wind
hazy breach
#

I should mention im talking about midnight, not prepatch

bleak wind
#

ah, I was talking about prepatch

#

guess that one doesn't really matter

wanton oasis
#

Just hoping to clarify a question on rotation - with 6+ CP and sectec + dance ready do you finish then dance or immediately dance+sectec?

hazy breach
#

Either

#

Or well, if sectech is ready send dance+sectech to not delay

#

But you can enter dance at either low or high cp

#

Just not like 4

swift tinsel
#

Think it might be time to race change to human and make a Maki transmog after watching the Perfect Prep episode of JJK

keen dome
#

Just think of how much time you can save with double hearthstone charges

swift tinsel
#

Honestly I will take advantage of that a ton with transmog farming

#

Instead of the dalaran/housing hearthstone workaround

#

Do they still get rep bonus too?

keen dome
#

Nah, that got binned and we got double hearth charge instead

swift tinsel

Damn

It's fine, imo.

oh it's also 5 minute less too

With trickster you use black powder in 2 mobs correct?

2 or more*

For both hero talents

viral phoenix
#

do you send this dance / sec tech? you'd have like 2 or 3 seconds of no shadow dance in the next blades if you sent blades off CD right?

short radish
#

should be a send since still 23 seconds on sblade

radiant swift
#

are the overlaps gona change any in midnight? One dance almost covers all of Blades

The tier set makes blades 4 seconds longer

ah thanks

viral phoenix
# short radish should be a send since still 23 seconds on sblade

OK I just foudn that there'd be 3 seconds of downtime or so in that next shadow blades if I do send that dance but yeah it def didnt feel correct to hold or anything. I just dont understand how you're supposed to have 2 charges of dance when blades comes up if you send there

#

it would be like 1 and a half for me

short radish
#

so you can give that a read and see what eleem says

umbral mauve
#

Hey all super noob question here.. New to Rogue.. While playing Sub and using Shadowdance what is the best way you guys find to use your finishers while the stealth bar replaces the main keys. Cant seem to avoid the stealth bar entirely.

hazy breach
#

Either get an addon to disable it or make your stealth bar identical to your regular bar

viral phoenix
#

I'm still honestly confused how you guys are getting to 2 full charges of shadow dance before non-opener blades. How many dances are you sending in between blades? I logged myself and outside of the 2 during shadow blades I send 3 dance/sectechs.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YgrWLTq6N341vctA?fight=1&type=casts&source=9&view=timeline
For my 2nd shadow blades I had 2 globals outside of dance tho, and you guys are saying you don't have that?

How much does sec tech Cooldown matter? my sec tech duration for this during beta was 22 sec cd. (On Live its 19 sec CD but that doesnt change that I consistently have 2 globals of non shadow dance in the 2nd blades)

alpine wraith
#

you also need some baseline haste to get dance to almost 9 secs with trinket on

viral phoenix
#

Okay, so it's a haste issue thing? On live I was playing w/ 30% haste but you also need a haste trinket on use to stretch out dance so you don't have globals outside of dance on blades?

hazy breach
#

Haste doesnt give dance cdr

#

If you are always 3 dancing outside of blades you arent gonna hit 2 in blades

#

80 seconds is 4 casts

#

So 90 seconds is 4.5 casts, so you cant fit 5 casts consistently everytime

viral phoenix
#

Okay so you bounce between 5 and 4 casts every other?

hazy breach
#

Assuming theres no mechanics you would do that ye

viral phoenix
#

yeye assuming target dummy shenanigans

viral phoenix
hazy breach
#

I mean most likely you just delay blades by like 2 seconds

viral phoenix
#

ok that works just casting blades when dance is 7-8 sec off cd or whatever

pale rock
#

so, just wanting to clarify the FAQ, we use shuriken storm as a combo builder outside of shadowdance on two targets, does this apply to bosses? i.e two boss encounters? and do we just slam evis or black powder as a finisher in that situation

hazy breach
#

Why wouldnt it apply to bosses

#

Theres nothing special about bosses making them take less damage from storm only

pale rock
plush roost
#

Out of curiosity how much of a loss is it to evis vs bp in 2 target now?

pale rock
#

I wanted to confirm if we use black powder or evis as well

plush roost
#

Sometimes u know a mob is like 10% higher and i feel like i should evis

#

Just griefing overall zzz

brisk onyx
#

Are the rules for storm the same in Trickster and DS?

bleak night
hazy breach
#

Sims say 0.8%, but thats without potent powder

plush roost
#

Ye didnt think so, honestly just wanted to not feel like im griefing myself lmao

#

Anything less than 2% is worth

#

If a mob too health

hazy breach
#

Seems to be more like 4% for deathstalker, which makes sense as it has stuff buffing BP exclusively

#

Whereas trickster buffs all finishers

ig maybe theres niche scenarios you auto for a bit to fit darkest night into supercharger

short radish

i asked something similar ish last night

i think maybe with apex talents you auto a bit

but thats to set up for sectech

i mean i guess rn you just hope they line up sometimes natty?

short radish
shrewd lantern
#

you can supercharge both the dn evis and the sectech cant you

short radish
#

think so but dont quote me on t hat

#

dont see why you wouldnt be able to

shrewd lantern

but then ig you'd have to be in a situation you send dance sectech on the last mark stack

#

then got to evis on dn

short radish
#

or you have dn up

#

and just dont consume it

#

you press sectech first

shrewd lantern

yeah

ngl this feels like

the only real minmax we can do rn

gotta wait for apex talents to have fun

yeah i think im being dragged to raid tmrw

we dont have those yet lol

#

dont worry about it until ur 90 and midnights out

grand summit

Yeah I know its for apex

#

but like

#

What does it optimize is what im asking

tardy badge
#

i completely forgot and im in a raid so i can't check what the apex does

#

ik if i have to overflow combo points its for a good reason

short radish
#

probably the refund of combo points

#

wait nvm

#

im blind

grand summit
#

I will wait for those experts

lilac stag
#

Youre forcing triggers of the apex

#

The entirety of dance

narrow shadow
#

That's how you generate the shadow clones

grand summit
#

I did see that

#

but how is that worth overcapping

graceful rock
#

youre gonna be overcapping regardless

#

so its better to save shadow techniqwues

plush roost
# grand summit I will wait for those experts

When u trigger ancient arts on a finisher, the clone does another finisher. The clones are shadow, benefit from all our magic amps and such and do more damage than the finishers themselves.

Doing this results in your dances amping extra clones. So instead of using the refund to finish again and not get a clone, youre cheating it by instead using a builder to proc more clones.

Example 1. Not playing around this.

Dance strike > sec tec > strike > (ancient arts procs) evis(1 clone) > evis > strike > (proc) evis (2nd clone) > evis > dance > strike > (aa proc) evis (3rd) > evis > strike > (aa) evis (4th) > evis. 4 clones total.

Example 2: applying this.

Dance Strike > sec tec > strike > (aa) evis (1) > strike > (aa) evis (2) > strike > (aa) evis (3) > dance strike > (aa) evis (4) > strike > (aa) evis (5) > strike > (aa) evis (6) > strike > (aa) evis (7) > strike > (aa) evis (8)

8 clones. 16 globals

#

And this is what those extra clones do in damage

grand summit
#

ur the goat tyty

plush roost
#

Clone evis 4th on damage is insane

#

Ofc sometimes u dont have enough haste or didnt pool or w.e and u wont always get 8 clones per cd set but thats the idea

grand summit
#

So clones are goated and are worth weaving for

plush roost
#

Yes, this interaction will probably be fixed tho

alpine wraith
#

and keep in mind it is only better on trickster mainly because it buffs all finishers kinda by default more than DS

plush roost
#

Its still good to do on DS iirc, but ye trickster beeg value

alpine wraith
#

it is a bit silly but i actually think they may leave this one on for a bit

graceful rock
#

^

plush roost
#

Ye then sub will overperform,get nerfed, and then this gets fixed

#

The 1-2 punch

graceful rock
alpine wraith
#

yea the hc week special

#

welcome

graceful rock
#

I don’t really see a direct fix

#

Unless you nerf clones but then

plush roost
alpine wraith
#

they cant really nerf evis a lot or apex

#

even sec tech still has some dmg bugs

#

so maybe if they fix all the bugs it is an aura nerf

#

not much more

tender dust
#

Guys, i was looking at some macros for sub. and i saw the SB + dance + sectech macro. wouldnt that mean you would only ever press this macro on full combo points if pressing this one 1 combo point you would lose alot of damage?

Just dont delay sec tec to build to 7

#

If ur low cp just dance strike sec tec

#

No macro gaming

tender dust
#

Yeah. makes sense

vale pine
#

good morning lovely people

tender dust
alpine wraith
#

ideally you have a dance+strike macro but that one does not work because of changes they made ages ago

#

but the dance+sec tech should work

vale pine
#

dance + strike macro stopped working more recently

#

so not a decade ago

alpine wraith
#

yea between 2 and 5 years

#

i dont remember was it sl or df

vale pine
#

dance used to work diffrently

#

you had a short phase you could not use dance again

#

that was iirc changed in bfa

#

where changes to the spell made you burn all charges if you did press the key multiple times

#

which was then changed to not allow dance to be used during dance

#

because it seems they couldn't figure out how to revert to the previouse change

#

(or well, the effort was higher)

#

this lead to all sort of bugs, where you can or could not use dance during certain parts of the spell

#

dance i think was changed in df or tww, i don't exactly know the moment tho

alpine wraith
#

the funniest one for me to this day is when they realized the super mantle situation

#

of dance protecting normal stealth

vale pine
#

that was legion

alpine wraith
#

and just nuked everything

vale pine
#

and still created issues

alpine wraith
#

yea

vale pine
#

*creates

alpine wraith
#

they went scorched+salted earth

vale pine
#

it was a massive exploit for pvp

#

and as much as we dislike it, pvp was for most part what subtlety was designed around

alpine wraith
#

people forget we had full stealth subterfuge for so long

#

that one was even sillier

#

you were hitting someone and they couldnt do anything to target you XD

haughty mural
#

iirc it stopped working in df

#

when i cam back to the game

#

after my sl skip

tribal blade
#

new house build made

#

i think this one is special

#

i'll take screenshots and upload it sometime soon

vale pine
#

can't wait 👀

brisk onyx
alpine wraith
#

another trap for sure

vale pine
#

don't jinx it ^^

tribal blade
keen dome
#

And I can get stuck in your house

keen dome
#

Also then I could assemble a very laggy sub rogue raid

tribal blade
#

hell yeah

fallow nimbus
#

I use dance+strike just fine kekw

#

Do i spam the key? Maybe

keen dome
#

The sub rotation will eternally be 1 6 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3

fallow nimbus
#

Wtf is 6?

keen dome
#

SecTec

chrome palm
#

6 is racial ofc

fleet wharf
#

Is it gonna get any better with midnight?

chrome palm
#

apex talents make it play better generally speaking

fallow nimbus
#

It's 1 5 1 2 1 2 1 2 kekw 5 is blades dance sectec macro

chrome palm
#

but also, i dont really see how it would get worse in any way, so there is a silver lining Cheesin

fleet wharf
#

would getting worse be just spamming shadowstrike over and over again

#

feels pretty unengaging atm

chrome palm
#

sure but that isnt happening

#

they already tried it

#

lol

fleet wharf
#

i know

keen dome
#

Just like two weeks ago you'll still be doing Dance and then SecTec and then Strike Evis strike Evis etc.

fallow nimbus
#

Wasn't double strike a little gain?

fleet wharf
#

idk man I just want to have something to think about

chrome palm
#

hero talents are the only thing requiring thought rn

fleet wharf
#

it's such a whiplash

#

going from what we had to just doing ss evisc

elder minnow
#

quick question guys i havent followed the recent changes. i heard sub was gutted too much but i also enjoyed ele sham in its current state. is sub somewhat similar in complexity?

fleet wharf
#

what is your baseline

keen dome
#

Sub is fine, it's a lot simpler and cleaner to play

#

You should try it and see how you find it 'cos it's gonna be pretty subjective if you like it or not.

chrome palm
#

like in terms of thought, you dont have much of that in the spec itself, but as a dps of course you still need to consider priority damage, and doing this as sub is actually not super straightforward and there are probably some specific ways to increase priority damage, and of course you still need to weight when its valuable to hold cds

fleet wharf
#

can we hold for dps though? I feel our ability to move around damage was much greater before

keen dome
fleet wharf
#

like holding on to sec tech feels really bad rn

chrome palm
#

and much of the gameplay on beta is just not extremely intuitive, if you read what eleem was looking into with the apex talent for instance, or like not proccing the apex on secret technique, or using supercharger correctly

fallow nimbus
#

The hardest part is to not drift into nothingness and keep watching sectec+dance cd

chrome palm
#

a lot of that is just trying to avoid the huge pitfalls the spec has with bugs

fleet wharf
chrome palm
#

things every dps spec does for the most part

#

not sub-specific timings

tribal blade
#

i suspect they'll discover you'll want to hold coup/DN for supercharger and apex

fallow nimbus
#

Now sub can too, don't cap energy is all you need between dances

chrome palm
fleet wharf
#

Like I don't mind the spec becoming just builder spender, I wish we got more of the shadowdance flexibility back

tribal blade
chrome palm
#

coup is linear of course

vestal escarp
chrome palm
#

so it doesnt matter if you supercharge it, compared to a regular evis

tribal blade
#

i still never understood why supercharging coup was the same as evis

fallow nimbus
chrome palm
#

darkest night is just legit bugged and the apex pretends that its a regular eviscerat IIRC

fleet wharf
keen dome
#

I would like one more button and I'd like it to be some kind of amp system that your gameplay fuels, then you unleash for critical burst mode at some point (Netherprism).

chrome palm
#

yeah like

#

having coup, dn, and secret technique being largely bugged with apex is a huge L

tribal blade
#

DN supercharged with apex would be such a massive hit

fleet wharf
#

surely they'll fix it copium

keen dome
#

It wouldn't be Sub if it wasn't lmao

chrome palm
#

SHT generation is so high though that

patent crystal
tribal blade
#

i still haven't been on the beta but i suspect you get a fuckton of refunds

chrome palm
#

yeah and theres the thing about overcapping cp as well right

#

i dont remember if that was just for blades or not

#

but if they fix more sht bugs then

#

they should really tune down the auto attack sht generation

#

and make sht generation rely more on clones imo

rocky lake
#

Was hitting dummies with the singlebutton-assistant and it seems to queue alternating poisons into the rotation whilst the duration has ~59min remaining. Anyone else has this happening?

tribal blade
chrome palm
#

that way you dont lose massive amounts of damage from not having a blue in the group

chrome palm
#

damn is obr catching up to the poison swap tech already

keen dome
tribal blade
#

oh is there actual tech

rocky lake
#

maybe it queues it on low energy after weapon swing

chrome palm
#

someone in red channels

#

was complaining that obr was telling him to swap off wound/crippling poison

#

are you using those

rocky lake
#

it mostly switches between wound/instant but only been hitting for like 2 min

chrome palm
#

maybe try not using wound at all

#

is it telling you to use wound?

rocky lake
#

yea, also atrophic i notice now

chrome palm
#

bizarre

rocky lake
#

lol just now i had it queue instant poison into wound poison , 2 psn casts back to back

chrome palm
#

o_O

#

it knows something we dont

keen dome
#

Poison toggle??

#

What happens if you relog?

chrome palm
#

maybe obr-gpt thinks youre using dragon tempered blades or something lolol

keen dome
#

Maybe it's gotten something stuck

rocky lake
keen dome
#

Weird

#

And very funny

#

I need to sort some RL stuff but when I get back I'll turn it on and have a look too

tribal blade
#

well good news is the baseline of sub is much less complicated than before so i don't think you need 1 button to play

fleet wharf
#

what if I need help pressing eviscerate after pressing backstab?

keen dome
#

Although it did, for whatever reason, go Instant -> Crippling -> Numbing lmao

cosmic dust
#

is raidbots for sub working rn? The numbers seem pretty low

narrow shadow
#

In beta, do we stop spending CPs and start pooling ShT at some point before Dances similar to pre-rework?

vale pine
vale pine
#

also the rate at which sht procs seems too high to make it worth

lilac stag
#

FAQ says to

onyx skiff
#

sorry I'm dumb but can someone explain the logic to me of macroing dance and SecTec together

#

if the idea is to dance on low CP

lilac stag
#

The idea is low cp or full cp.

#

Full cp lets you Sectech immediately which makes sure you get all globals in dance.

vale pine
#

what was asked for was to not use builder before shadow dance

#

so you conserve sht stacks

#

which does not seem to be worth it

#

ofc there is the mentioned optimization during dance

alpine wraith
#

basically best you can do is look at sec tech and blades cd

#

and ask yourself can i stab to full or not

#

but even if you are at like 2 or 1 cp

#

you just dance strike

#

instead of trying to stab to full

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

yea that situation is you just stabbed to full and sec tech is about to come home

#

but idk how many seconds is the border

lilac stag
#

Correct.

alpine wraith
#

like maybe 3 or 4

lilac stag
#

Fuu told them no

vale pine
lilac stag
vale pine
#

but you are right

#

there is a few sec of time you can hold on

alpine wraith
#

well it can be confusing but yea we are ignoring dance cd most of the time tbh

#

unless it is for blades

#

then you just kinda remember you dance duration and say ok we can get 2 here

#

i will miss addons if i could just have a little dance with a number to know current dance duration

#

maybe someone makes that

#

and we gamble with weapon and other proc haste shit

tribal blade
#

true with how sectec works now you never need to look at dance cd unless blades is coming up

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

apex can get a bit weird if you have decent haste and skyfury

lilac stag
#

Until bliz says too much fun is being had

alpine wraith
#

you end dance with 7 or so stacks even after doing strike evis strike evis

vale pine
#

this?

alpine wraith
#

yea i expect them to nerf shadowcraft again maybe

#

because nerfing apex would be distasteful

vale pine
#

i would not say its making a clear point that you pool sht before dance

#

just states how you play around it during dance

tribal blade
#

part of what i made

#

hopefully the screenshot does it justice

alpine wraith
#

psycho cube

tribal blade
#

hidden power within

#

need sylvanas to come along and rip it open

alpine wraith
#

i mean for sht before sec tech eventually we will have more clear numbers

alpine wraith
#

now any random change blizz does can krangle things

chrome palm
#

i visited this guys house and it was a twin peaks scene now he is developing the wonder weapons

keen dome
#

Hahaha

vale pine
lilac stag
lilac stag
tribal blade
#

oh gotcha haha

lilac stag
#

I haven’t been there in awhile but it’s an insanely fun creation to visit

cosmic dust
#

How can it be that there are such big differences in DPS during raids? Is it all down to the trinkets? On our first clear I used prism, which is pretty damn shit right now with these killtimes

keen dome
#

Less initial oomph will def play a part with the killtimers, yeah

lilac stag
#

maybe use prism on dimmy

#

Idk What would make anyone want to use it on a fight less than 3:30

cosmic dust
#

I got the 35% haste, stats should be fine

#

I have around 45% crit 35% haste 55% mast 25% vers without any flasks or so

cosmic dust
lilac stag
#

Tuesday a simple look at wcl would have told ya. Trashpandascheme

#

but I get it

cosmic dust
#

I think with the dim trinket and like araz or soulhunters trinket I should be good

tribal blade
#

interesting everyone's running ritual forge now

keen dome
#

Lily is still nice

lilac stag
#

I ran Lily, but I didn’t sim anything

keen dome
#

I wish I had a myth Forge but effort

tribal blade
#

that's kinda banking on your raid killing sub 1:30

lilac stag
#

I think doge is what everyone had

lilac stag
#

130 is likely forge

tribal blade
#

yeah i'm looking at the first fight in the raid that goes over 1:30 (soul hunters) and the peeps running lily are on top

#

i have no idea how fast my guild is gonna kill bosses

#

last week on reset

#

does my guild do more dmg this week since it's not a lot of their first times seeing their class changes

#

i think i'll just run forge and whatever happens happens

lilac stag
#

You’ve got 3 fights that get 1/2 a use of Lily

#

so idk

#

You don’t have mythic Lily either right?

#

Forge also good with TFD likely so it’s probably w/e

#

We’re in dance for so long in the opener with decent haste

#

I wonder how many are doing a pre-dance warmup routine. kekdog

short radish
#

this one is so much easier

#

20 seconds instead of 30

#

and none of this - if you wipe with 0 stacks

#

you gotta wait a whole minute

lilac stag
#

same way you did it last tier, just replace symbols

cosmic dust
#

I have to ask againOMEGAKEKW Last Season all i did was symbols before the fight, now its just 1x dance to get the 2 supercharged?

vale pine
#

yes

#

it just changed

#

from symbols to dance

hazy breach
#

Since Supercharger is +cp and not %more damage

tribal blade
vale hull
#

why is umbral edge picked ? and isnt shuriken tornado better for mythic plus aoe?

chrome palm
#

15% clone damage

vale hull
#

its confusing, we dont pick any talents that spawn clones but still pick talents that increase clone damage ?

#

weaponmaster isnt picked, shuriken tornado neither, whats the point to increase clone damage?

tribal blade
#

2 clones

#

also when we get the apex that gives a lot of clones

vale hull
#

i thought about it, i tried to see the damage increase on Secret technique but i saw no increase at all

chrome palm
#

Which SS

vale hull
#

secret technique

#

sorry

#

st

chrome palm
#

Ok that is a new one

#

There aren’t a lot of great talents

#

I suppose

#

But that talent gets very strong in midnight

brisk onyx
tribal blade
#

yeah keep in mind our whole toolkit is missing a big piece atm

#

apex pretty big for sub

vale hull
#

yes youre right, it feels half done and awkward rn

tribal blade
#

i haven't looked at other classes apexs, but i figure ours is on the strong side

hazy breach
#

You probably just havent enabled pets in your combatlog so youre not seeing the clones

swift tinsel
#

A fair few apex are like 100% passive so the spectrum of effect is quite large across specs

lapis hatch
#

We shuriken in dance now instead of shadow strike at how many targets? Is it much of a loss to shadow strike instead for prio

tribal blade
#

but i wouldn't strike for prio in aoe

#

you lose a lot of cp generation

vale hull
#

idk but in m+ i often refresh my mark with shadowstrike, because of singular focus

lapis hatch
#

Hmm ok

#

Ty

tribal blade
#

strike is now +2 CP and storm is +7

lapis hatch
tribal blade
#

so more than triple the CP generation in aoe

lapis hatch
#

Ah I gotcha

vale hull
#

during dance shadowstrike often fill all your cp, so its worth to proc it again for singular focus

#

not as if shuriken storm does a lot of damage

tribal blade
#

yeah but when we get the apex that'll be sht going to filling your CPs instead of proccing refunds

#

and storm does much more dmg than it used to

#

it now has a dance modifier

#

plus both hero trees have talents buffing storm

#

i can't remember if the dance modifier is 50% or 100%

#

but it's big

lapis hatch
#

You shadow strike once for macabre at least?

tribal blade
#

maybe with premed up and you want to prio

#

but you will lose overall dps doing that most likely

#

definitely gain prio though

vale hull
#

isnt prio more important for m+ ?

tribal blade
#

depends on your group comp

lapis hatch
#

Do we do anything weird to gain macabre stacks then? Seems we just ignore it and do our prio abilities

tribal blade
#

if you're in a key with 2 other pad aoers yeah probably better to prio more

vale hull
#

thats a good thinking

tribal blade
#

and if you're in a weekly key it doesn't matter

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

maybe they tune DM to do more dmg and we start casting storm in ST

hazy breach
#

Just to keep the mark up

limpid sage
#

Haven’t followed in here too much (rip laptop), but what target count is Shuriken>Strike currently? 2?

hazy breach
#

3

limpid sage
#

Ah okay

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Well you cant really use strike much outside of dance

haughty mural
#

did not turn on my brain

alpine wraith
#

dont worry you have 1 chance every 2 minuts to strike too

#

make it count

tribal blade
haughty mural
#

kinda

limpid sage
#

(I’m just hating - haven’t actually tried it yet)

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

so basically yes no

#

so yes

#

no?

ripe flame
#

maybe, perhaps, mayhaps?

chrome palm
#

Sub can’t get reworked until you spec into it

limpid sage
tribal blade
#

yeah yeah nahhhhh

limpid sage
tribal blade
#

yeahhh

short radish
tribal blade
#

also cast ST

short radish
#

this is only valid in the beta though and not live

short radish
#

the fact they made secret technique and shadowed techniques

#

is absolutely criminal

#

like at that point it's intentional fuckery

haughty mural
#

ShT were first smadge

limpid sage
#

There’s no case of sending raw Secret Technique anymore right?

haughty mural
limpid sage
#

Just thinking if I should do myself a favor and bind dance to my ST button

haughty mural
#

i dont think so

fallow nimbus
#

Ss or vanish>ss if you are out of range

short radish
#

you might enter dance without max CP

tribal blade
#

and have solo dance button still

short radish
tribal blade
#

it feels like the muscle memory is already halfway there for that bind

lilac stag
#

Where do you have your dance Evis macro?

limpid sage
lilac stag
tribal blade
haughty mural
#

you still got your flag and rupture binds

#

for that

lilac stag
#

interesting keybind choice

haughty mural
#

if you want

#

or you just got quick fingers

lilac stag
#

clearly we’re all old playing a 2 button spec

limpid sage
#

Not binding ST to dance but dance to ST is what I mean

lilac stag
#

Strike Dance macros don’t work with the delay

haughty mural
#

keep one bind empty though

#

coming soon

lilac stag
#

That’s where rupture was

idle aurora
#

Sooo I’m going to ask dumb 🙋. Is it really possible to sec Tec every shadow dance is that really a thing now with enough haste?

#

I currently dont have enough haste but that feels impossible lol

#

Or I should say feels insane strong if so

swift tinsel
#

You time Dance around Sectech

#

So that you supercharge it

idle aurora
#

Oh so it’s not lining up perfectly per say you might just hold for a second or two to juice

chrome palm
#

well, you always have the option to dance generally speaking

#

youre just waiting on secret technique to come back up, except for in blades

idle aurora
#

Ty 🙂

#

That makes sense

chrome palm
#

so you hold dance for when that happens, but occassionally you might need to wait a second or two if dance is on cd, for whatever reason

#

external haste mixes up the timings slightly

swift tinsel
#

banger notes today or tomorrow trust fr fr on god

idle aurora
#

Yeah so I’ll have a dance button for blades and a dance sec tec for non blades

swift tinsel
#

sectech cd situation surely saved

chrome palm
#

well, you could just use the same button

idle aurora
#

Oh fair it wouldn’t be up

chrome palm
#

but its always good to give everything its own bind

lilac stag
#

Unless you need to hold blades for fight timings

chrome palm
#

oh yeah i just mean dance doesnt necessarily need its own button is all

#

separate from secret technique

limpid sage
idle aurora
#

Is it still better to go in low combo, dance strike, sec tec?

#

Or just have the points and dance, sec Tec

hazy breach
#

Either

swift tinsel
#

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

Just don’t middle of the road it

fallow nimbus
#

I use the old bs in dance macro from fuu and replaced bs with strike. Double tap fires it fine and then you can just use it as a strike hotkey

tribal blade
#

i'll be so happy if they finally fix the strike macro issue

#

i used to abuse that macro so much back in the day

vale pine
#

+1

hazy breach
#

Speaking of, i checked in simc yesterday. Every 0.1 second you delay between dance and the follow spell costs about 0.3%

#

So its not the end of the world, but it aint great

harsh meadow
#

So macro big value

hollow spear
#

And not sending shadow dance before the next gcd is ready is even bigger value

#

I don't wanna know how often I lost half a second by just mindlessly spamming buttons

Don't tell Whispyr I was here.

for post-sectech dance

I though castsequence macros like that were dead?

Id rather not though XD

swift tinsel
#

can have that in my old rupture spot lol

#

sectech already has cancelaura ancient arts in it

#

prepped for midnight

haughty mural
#

or maybe the bug will get fixed till release ? poggers

alpine wraith
#

you can indeed make a castsecuence reset 2 with strike and evis to spam yes

#

but actually nevermind

guys im a bit confused - this is from the same guide 2 sentence apart : "We shift to a multi-target priority at 3 targets," "Start using Aoe spells with 2 or more targets."

quick question, sorry if this has been asked its pretty specific. Does the new Atrophic poison stack with Devo?

rapid sinew

from 3 onwards you also storm but storm and strike are quite close at 2

my raid got upset with me for having the archmage's spare staff in my vanish macro

alpine wraith

it was used to shadowstep

very useful in bosses like uu nat

it

now i think there is only 1 last trick but it is a secret

its not a secret

dont tell them the secret magic!

unless we talk about a diffrent trick

it was sealed for a reason

also it is annoying to farm anyways

it is the one you think about

dont worry sub channel goes so fast no one will notice right

it iwas a bit useful on echo of nelth but apart from that

they do run around

yes

its fun tho

Wait you can macro black powder and coup :0

alpine wraith

yea

no idea for how long tho

idle aurora
#

I need to check guide for macros lol

#

That’s insane

#

You don’t even need brain lol

hazy breach
#

Well you generally want to coup in dance, and you can get more prio by spending apex on coup VS getting more aoe by spending it on BP

#

So i wouldnt recommend it
