hello, are there beta sims as well? (was wondering how good/bad 2p/4p are for each spec)

vale pine
#

idk what this helps you

#

to be fair

rough rivet
# vale pine idk what this helps you

well the guy that does the loot stuff in my guild wanted to know how good rogue set is. just to know who most likely gets sets first. and since i dont know and dont really care (who cares about loot anyways) i couldnt answer

lean bone
#

Just curious, are there any rogue (or specifically sub) content creators who’ve made video guides on sub in midnight? I just love to accompany text guides with video so that i can see how something ‘should’ work

vale pine
#

did your officer play dragonflight?

rough rivet
vale pine
#

sorry, i mean the war within

rough rivet
limpid sage
vale pine
#

nope

#

but you can just sim it ^^

#

if you have a profile for the spec

limpid sage
#

gonna wait for ulria's spreadsheet then

vale pine
#

XD

#

well back to the point

#

midnight makes aquireing tier set even easier

#

sooo

(whenever u get a chance)

vale pine
#

you now typically plan in a way that every raider gets tier 2nd week

#

so 2nd heroic clear, everyone should have the tier set bonus completed w/e

ivory obsidian
#

Yeah everyone basically has a 2 set

wise pawn
#

Also, @vale pine I’ve just come back to sub rogue after a long hiatus and wanted to say ty for the guide writing it’s been great

vale pine
#

thanks dracthyr_love

rough rivet
wise pawn
#

Damn my guild is just me and 4 dudes and none of them raid 😭

vale pine
#

haha all fine

#

i hope it did not seem too agressive from me

rough rivet
#

na ofc not. thanks a bunch 🙂

surreal glacier
#

erm i have a complaint 🤓 because the guide is faulty, i started playing sub like yesterday and im not parsing 100 its gotta be the guides fault

vale pine
#

you forgot to

#

enable one button rotation

#

thats for sure it

wise pawn
#

Hahahaha

astral axle
#

tWo BuTtOn RoTaTiOn subxdd

surreal glacier
#

ah thanks, also another complaint i have about the guide is why am i not top dps in every raid and dungeon?

manic glen
#

skill issue

vale pine
#

could macro secret to dance

#

and make it even less

wise pawn
#

I was reading the midnight bugs and there is one about sec tech and apex talents only buffing the physical portion, may seem a dumb question but is this actually a bug or intended?

If a bug and fixed would this be a huge net buff?

rough rivet
#

i hope they revert some pruning in tlt. rogue feels so bad imo.

vale pine
#

but many things bugs are discussable

#

my rule of thumbs for bugs is

astral axle
#

as much as i meme about it it feels like sub is maybe missing a button (not saying it is rupture per se). But on the whole I still have about as much fun playing sub as I did before. And I was initially very skeptical!

vale pine
#

if the person playing would not assume something to work in a specific way

#

it is probably a bug

#

i can give you one example

wise pawn
#

That makes a lot of sense

vale pine
#

if you press stealth

#

you go into stealth

#

thats kinda obviouse

#

but if you use dance

#

and then try to go stealth

#

you can't

buoyant iron
#

yo dont we need haste? playing on beta with low haste and feels ass

vale pine
vale pine
main falcon
#

Single Target:
Agility (Item level) > Haste (~35%) >= Vers >= Mastery = Crit

Mythic+:
Agility (Item level) > Mastery => Vers > Crit > Haste (~15%)

vale pine
#

it is because, in legion, we found out that you can protect stealth with shadow dance

#

protecting means, stealth does not break while dance is up

#

this is not super impactful in pve

#

but in pvp

upbeat garden
#

Even if u go with more haste u still dont do much more than with more mastery

vale pine
#

image a rogue attack you, and is untargetable for 8 sec

#

thats not great

azure mauve
#

that seems pretty great to me

vale pine
#

for us ye

wind wharf
#

can we have legion sub again

vale pine
#

for the health of pvp, no

upbeat garden
#

Legion sub was the best

vale pine
#

so blizz had two options

wind wharf
#

it had some minor issues

#

like trying to play death from above on certain fights

upbeat garden
#

So what

#

Still more fun

wind wharf
#

hence "can we have legion sub again"

vale pine
#

number 1: dig into the code and figure out why stealth is protected and re-write the code so it would not be
number 2: disallow you to cast stealth when shadow dance is up

#

so it took the 2nd one

#

but that did just mean

#

pvpers did use vanish

#

because vanish applies stealth

buoyant iron
vale pine
#

so then they made it so vanish does not apply stealth during the improved stealth phase

#

but it does so after 3 sec when improved drops

wise pawn
#

Thanks fuu, that makes sense

vale pine
#

to fix this

#

they made it so that applying stealth removes shadow dance

#

so if you use dance + vanish

#

and wait for 3 sec

#

dance gets cancled

#

to get to the point

#

we know why it works that way now

#

is it a bug?

modest snow
#

if I wanna focus on one hero talent I just play trickster right now, is that correct

vale pine
#

yes

modest snow
#

ok ty peepohappy

wise pawn
#

Could I ask a really noob question?

I’ve noticed in dance that energy regenerates a hell of a lot faster, is this a talent? Is this also why you use vanish when at low combo points? I don’t fully understand why we would vanish

vale pine
#

vanish in general is just a filler spell

hazy breach
vale pine
#

we use to cast a shadowstrike

#

your energy generation is increased in dance by all what eleem mentioned

#

and apex talents

wise pawn
#

Ohhhhhhhh

vale pine
#

once we reach max level/unlock them

wise pawn
#

Thanks guys!!

#

So you would vanish and shadowstrike to get max cp

Would this only work in an st scenario?

hazy breach
#

In Aoe you already get full cp from shuriken storm

#

So it doesnt matter

vale pine
#

waning sign also contributes

#

which was forgotten to mention

wise pawn
#

Assumed as much, I just wanted to check because it’s there in the guide in the Aoe section too

modest snow
#

nvm found the faq

wise pawn
#

I find it a lot better to follow the guide but also understand why I’m doing it situationally

hardy orchid
#

have i finally found my kind of people 😭

wise pawn
#

Bloody hell thanks fuu you’ve been a great help!

vale pine
#

so basically:

  • Sht (gives energy every 3rd or 4th auto attack)
  • shadowcraft (makes it every 2nd or 3rd auto attack and generate more energy/cp during dance)
  • warning sight (more attack speed during dance)
  • master of shadows (10 energy every sec for 3 sec after using dance)
  • apex adds extra shadow technique procs
#

if you want to make it easier for yourself in aoe

#

you can make a macro for coup + black powder

#

less buttons ^^

regal venture
#

Never played sub before, but the rotation feels fun on beta. I only need to figure out when i need to stop using shadow dance so, I have two cooldowns ready for shadowblade

vale pine
#

(its just

/cast Black Powder``` )
wise pawn
#

That one I’ve already done!

hazy breach
#

Black, not blacp

vale pine

^ the last is the 10 sec vynari mentioned

south kernel
#

yo the bug with secret tech and apex 3 hasnt been fixed yet right? so we still cancel aura macro anceint arts on secret tech or what?

hazy breach
#

You dont have to

#

Its whatever

south kernel
#

i thought the apex was a pretty big chunk thats why u always proc it in dance even at full cp no?

hazy breach
#

Yes it does way less than it should, but because you have superchargers on it the damage isnt drastically different than eviscerate

south kernel
#

ahhh

#

so its a bit less poopy gotcha

hazy breach
#

And if you cancel you sometimes end up with too many shts at the end of dance

#

Because you couldnt spend them fast enough

#

So like you can cancel if you want to, but simcraft says its like +-0 to do it

south kernel
#

yea i guess this'd be very common when holding aswell

hazy breach
#

So why bother

south kernel
#

yea to be honest i wanted to ask cos i wanted someone smarter to tell me the math

#

thanks again brother <3

hazy breach
#

Also in big aoe its actually benefitial to not cancel it

south kernel
#

wait really?

hazy breach
#

Because target scaling math

south kernel
#

OH

#

clone isnt soft capped?

wintry heart
#

I know this is all situational, but should my dmg breakdown look like this? I am in a raid and the other rogue has like double my evis damage but not nearly as much sec tech damage

#

Just trying to make sure im playing this right

hazy breach
#

AoE clones do 50% of the initial hit, just like sectech clones themselves

#

But then its missing the softcap yes

south kernel
#

ok yea thats probs why

#

since we are here i wanna ask 1 more thing

#

its a dps increase to ss at full cp in dance to reproc apex in ST and its the same in aoe correct?

#

like u storm again to reproc it

#

or is it worse?

hazy breach
#

Its on low targets, not in aoe

south kernel
#

OH

#

its a loss on large count?

plush roost
hazy breach
#

Yes

south kernel
#

thanks man ur the 🐐

plush roost
#

Ye storm does piss damage, strike does comparable damage in ST

south kernel
#

OHH okay that makes alot of sense

#

the ss damage offsets the loss of combopoints

#

but storm doesnt

plush roost
#

And apex powder is bugged to not benefit from potent powder so yknow

#

XD

south kernel
#

good ol bug soup

#

wait wrong garfield

plush roost
#

Versioning soup

#

They fixed it

#

Pushed a wednesday beta update

#

And it broke again

south kernel
#

LMFAO

frail bone
#

Im assuming this is trickster hero talents?

south kernel
#

potent powder? no its in spec

wise pawn
#

Does sht only affect the amount of cp your builders generate or does it affect damage done by spenders?

#

I swear I thought it was so simple but there’s so many little intricacies

plush roost
#

Its just combo points until apex talent where you proc and it summons clones that duplicate whatever procced them

#

So if u strike and get 2 sht consumed to fill bar, your strike can get doubled at 50%

south kernel
#

yo char im guessing ur progging sub unless heroic week has some diabolical tuning for assa right?

plush roost
#

If you have 10 sht, and strike, it empowers your next finisher to eat them and duplicate and refill your cp

plush roost
#

Heroic week w.e

#

Assa tuning is quite down bad atm

#

Or if u mean after heroic week idk it highly depends

#

Sub is plan for the moment

wise pawn
#

Do you actively play around that? Or is it just a passive thing for the most part?

wintry heart
south kernel
#

heroic week tuning might change everything anyway

plush roost
#

But u can just full send without much loss, and messing up the minmax is worse than zugzug

plush roost
wise pawn
#

Thanks everyone for your help, what a ripper community!

lilac pendant
#

That could work

frail bone
#

ok, im a bit lost in the short hand here. sht comes from what talent.

im a bit confused so I am just trying to be clear, im coming back to rogue after a long break and I would like to understand it thoroughly so I can minmax with practice..

wise pawn
south kernel
frail bone
#

oh ok, I was pooring through the talent tree thinking I was out to lunch

strange chasm
#

Barring any tuning we thinking sub?

#

Or is the law looking decent

frail bone
#

so basically the the extra blue CP when we store it?

south kernel
south kernel
#

supercharger

#

bottom centre on cals talent

#

shadow techniques appears as a buff with a counter on it and doesnt get displayed in the regular combo point UI

frail bone
#

oh which counts to 15

urban hull
#

guys, isn't Coup de Grace a passive? why the macro with Black Powder?

south kernel
#

its for the sake of simplicity and pressing only 1 button in aoe

#

well 1 finisher button

spiral needle
#

is being able to put 2 GCD abilities in a macro new for midnight, or just a funny way of how coup works

south kernel
#

funny coup way im gonna assume peeposhrug

urban hull
#

ooohhh I get it, tyty

hollow spear
#

Coup is not in your spellbook

#

Until you "learn" it

#

So it's an exception

vale pine

I’m thankful for the coup/bp macro because without it I’d have to press more than 3 buttons and if I press more than 3 buttons I cry blood like a demonized virgin mary statue

No problem! do you want to elaborate on your question?

vale pine
narrow shadow
#

Hey guys did we get any undocumented bug fixes recently?

vale pine
#

a few

frail bone
#

so quick question, regardless of the situation do we want to have Shuriken storm macro to our base dance. do to the delay with SS now. like for instant max cp's even in ST? Or is that wasting to much energy.

vale pine
#

you can make it easy for yourself

#

in the opener just vanish-strike before dance

#

and after the opener, you use dance on finishing cps

quasi eagle
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

with the secret + dance macro

south kernel
#

any reasons?

#

i think its alot safer so u dont lose some dance uptime specially if u dont have alot of leeway on dance duration early its just better to use the tech-dance macro and vanish is a very good way to cap cps

vale pine
#

the main reason to do so would be to be able to use the macro always

#

so unsure if thats enough to suggest it as default

frail bone
#

also depending you might need vanish in other areas, like pvp.

vale pine
#

can be used for mechanical cheeses too

bleak night
#

mmm

#

mechanical cheese

frail bone
#

the big blades macro, can you also incorp sec tech in that or does it conflict with the on use things.

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

Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm

This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.

/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call

Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:

/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder

You can find more macros and details in Guides like wowhead WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

alpine wraith
#

to not lose dmg

#

even more with coup krangling 0.2 from us too

west tide
#

hmm ok ok but im so used to it..

alpine wraith
#

so you have the dance+sec tech macro

west tide
#

i will try to macro the dance sec tech

#

i happened to put them on buttons i can press at the same time

alpine wraith
#

trickster does not really use the storm one

#

the cds one also helps a bit

regal venture
#

Is it oke to macro shadow dance > shadow blades > secret technique?

#

As long I get my combo points up before pressing it

burnt sable
#

people with hours on beta...do you find the new sub rotation gets boring?

burnt sable
#

good point - i was asking about m+ but curious about raid as well

crimson tendon
#

M plus on my part felt kind of bland as sub

burnt sable
#

that was my concern

crimson tendon
#

single target is more fun,

#

the 2 button spam in AoE is meh

burnt sable
#

was hoping the on demand dmg aspect of dance kept it fun but the rotation is very bland..i feel like if it kept rupture it would be good

#

not sure if it will be enough to keep me engaged all season :S

crimson tendon
#

i miss rupture personally

burnt sable
#

raid more engaging?

vale pine
#

so there is potential that this is intentional

burnt sable
#

nvr thought of that

#

i just assumed it was to get players and/or newer players comfortable into a class they are not normally comfortable playing

#

lower the barrier to entry

crimson tendon
#

i feel that using the burst windows in raid was satisfying and fun

grand wyvern
#

i think if you want to be engaged long term now you have to play alts, just cause it is so easy to keep up with multiple specs

crimson tendon
#

the storm and black powder spam was just not that fun I found, personally

vale pine
#

wow is very good in keeping old xpacs around

#

so you can always hop between releases

golden thunder
#

Why do we automate Coup de Grace with Black Powder in a macro just for AoE? DOes it make sense to automate it also with Eviscerate?

swift tinsel
grand wyvern
swift tinsel
#

evisc can't

golden thunder
#

ok easy

hazy breach
#

You dont need the macro

#

There are opportunities where you'd want to hold it

floral geyser
#

so tomarrow I only use shadow dance once my Shit is 10?

hallow matrix
grand wyvern
#

snd

vale pine
#

you by default would

#

strike-evi

#

dance-strike

floral geyser
#

i know its Sht but i like say Shit

#

but i dont know what to do with apex

vale pine
#

but because people use a macro with dance + secret

floral geyser
#

apex rotation

vale pine
#

you either need to modify that macro

#

or have a 2nd dance bind/macro

#

using vanish would remove this need

#

you can just vanish-strike

grand wyvern
#

theoretically you can't st at 0cp so it should still work

vale pine
#

and then dance + secret with the macro

hallow matrix
#

Wait so it's better to Stealth -> strike -> evisc -> vanish -> strike -> Dance/blades/Sectec macro?

#

So the optimisation is just about getting SnD up quick?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt really matter

hallow matrix
#

otherwise you'd just stealth->strike->macro

floral geyser
#

how much dps that gives

lucid jackal
#

Some fights will force u to do fast opener

hallow matrix
#

I mean it clearly matters if fuu is suggesting doing it no? all these little nuances add up and make a difference in the big picture

hazy breach
lucid jackal
#

well like I said, there are fights where doing slow opener ruins your CDs for when a fight needs damage

floral geyser
#

im just trying to figure out how to change rotation or what new addons to get for the apex

#

to maybe i need make sht bar using arcui?

lucid jackal
#

Like queen ansurek for example if u did slow opener u didnt have them for web spawns

#

So it wasn't "better"

hazy breach
#

Its not better in sims either

hallow matrix
#

If it's not better in sims why is it being suggested?

hazy breach

#

grand wyvern
keen dome
#

They're all very good. Just have a read of them, read the abilities in-game, hit some dummies. Simple, solved, easy.

floral geyser
#

which one menetions sht

grand wyvern
#

subtlety-faq mentions it

vale pine
#

you can alter the opener without losing damage

#

as long as you don't start to delay stuff too long

#

so it does not matter if you strike-evis-dance or strike-evis-vanish-strike-dance

grand wyvern
vale pine
#

but as guy mentioned, vanish can have some utility uses

#

you might want to use it to cheese mechanics

#

or have an additional gap closer

hallow matrix
#

I guess with that said, the question is why would you strike-evis-vanish-strike-dance if you can just strike-evis-dance? OR even strike-blades macro? or is that last one a big dps loss? @vale pine

vale pine
#

for convinience

hallow matrix
#

If the first two are equal in dps it feels like a waste of vanish? and if all 3 are equal then its just delaying cds coming back

vale pine
#

basically its like this

hallow matrix
#

The most convenient opener is just strike into blades macro?

vale pine
#

deepening shadow can introduce dance lenghs

#

where its hard to hit the last global

#

so you can use a macro

#

as trickster, we typically use a macro with secret + dance

#

given that we already want to start dance with high combo points

#

this is where the problem comes in

#

you would want to use a 2nd macro for dance + strike or dance + storm now in the opener

#

to be fast

#

vanish-strike allows you to just use the same macro

#

so you gain convinience

#

ofc it might not be that big of a deal

hallow matrix
#

Okay i get that, and i may just be stupid, but i still don't understand if you're talking about the opener only, why do you need to vanish strike? You can just strike from stealth and have max combo points from premed and then go into your macro?

#

or is it literally only to get SnD up pre dance?

vale pine
#

lets recap the opener

#

you strike from stealth

#

strike generates full combo points via premeditation

#

so you use evis to get slice and dice up

#

after that, you start shadow dance

#

but you are on low combo points, so you can't use secret immidiatly

#

so you need to use shadowstrike

hallow matrix
#

yea so you use the dance+storm macro

vale pine
#

every time you use dance after

#

you don't need to use dance asap

#

you are more dynamic

#

e.g. by not using a finisher for a few secounds before secret comes up

#

you can get some sht stacks build up

#

and immidiatly use dance + secret as soon as it comes up

#

this means, the problematic of needing to use shadow strike (or shuriken storm) as first builder

#

only ever happens once at the start of the fight

#

and using vanish-strike can bridge the gap and change it to dance-secret

grand wyvern
#

i'll add a dumb question: when it's your second dance in blades do you try to time it manually, use a macro or does it even make any difference?

vale pine
#

you just use dance back to back

grand wyvern
#

ok but you need a bind without macro for that right?

hallow matrix
#

Okay i think i get you, thanks for taking the time to write that up. I wasn't valuing how much of a dps increase it is to get SnD up before the first dance

hallow matrix
grand wyvern
hallow matrix
#

or if your sectec is on CD then your dance sectec macro will onyl dance

#

if you chain dance you get another set of supercharger

#

so if your macro is dance+sectec it will always be supercharged

grand wyvern
#

but if you use a macro you could fire st before the second dance goes off

hallow matrix
#

why? unless you're spamming your dance macro before your dance has ended?

grand wyvern
#

if you press the button before first dance is over and st is off cd, you would cast st with no second dance

sick dagger
#

Sorry for my peanut brain, but whats ”sht” short for?

alpine wraith
#

shadow techniques

hallow matrix
swift tinsel
#

Since you can’t spell queue when dance is still up and have any cp if you’re spamming that macro it will send Sectech if it’s off cd

grand wyvern
hallow matrix
#

The only solution to that is to have a separate bind for dance, which is fine

#

unless you can stance conditional macro

swift tinsel
#

Which you should have

grand wyvern
#

i don 't know if its even possible depending on haste tho

hallow matrix
#

but i don't know if that's been stopped

swift tinsel
#

A naked dance bind

#

Trying to over-engineer macros is just going to make things messier

hallow matrix
#

Yeah i'm not suggesting do that

#

i have a naked dance, dance+sectec, dance+storm and the blades macro

#

how exactly should i understand this?
i go into dance with sectec as my first finisher
strike for (in this case) full cp and see i have 5+ sht stacks
I strike again
do i continue striking or do i use evis after that strike?

hazy breach
#

Its supposed to be "not up"

fiery fog
#

oh

#

so if im below 5 sht stacks

#

i strike again

hazy breach
#

No

#

If you dont have the apex up, and you could proc the apex

#

Proc the apex

fiery fog
#

so i strike, have 5+ sht stacks + full cp after and no ancient arts i strike again before evis

hazy breach
#

Thats never gonna happen

#

If you have 5+ sht stacks after you strike

#

You already have the apex

swift tinsel
tidal blade
#

I think it’s if you have apex -> evisc -> 5 sht? Strike -> evisc for another apex proc

i kinda dont get it xd
what exactly needs to happen to use another shadowstrike

#

surely im overcomplicating things but i dont get the logic behind this

hazy breach
#

Read through the apex again

plush roost
#

Your apex will proc if you meet the following condition: you have reached max combo points with a builder AND you have 5 sht leftover

fiery fog
#

isnt that just the cp refund

#

the proc is the refund

#

right?

hazy breach
#

Yes and how do you get it

fiery fog
#

i use evis when the apex is up and get the cp refund

hazy breach
#

How do you get the proc

fiery fog
#

if i strike and have 5+ sht stacks after

hazy breach
#

Yes

plush roost
#

So what do you think happens after that

fiery fog
#

so in short in dance
I strike, if i have the proc i just evis
if i dont have the proc i strike again to get the proc?

hazy breach
#

If you would get the proc when you strike yes

fiery fog
#

okay i get it now
thanks <3

hallow matrix
#

Should you go out of your way to let SHT build up to allow you to proc the apex? or do you just let it natty occur?

plush roost
#

It is legit rotational complexity since ur reacting and tracking your sht buff i hope it stays lowkey. Youre not guaranteed to strike evis strike evis

#

I dont think theres any sht related pooling anymore now that apex 2 is fixed

hallow matrix
#

Cool, what was the fix?

#

at one point i swear i read you're gonna have to cancelaura the apex, is that gone now?

plush roost
#

Your apex and sectec clones werent giving correct sht back

#

At first none, then later only 1 per hit in dance. Now its fully fixed and giving 2 per clone during dance

#

Due to shadowcraft talent

hallow matrix
#

okay cool

plush roost
#

So you dance, apex sec tec and are instantly up 6 sht

#

Or normal sec tec and up 4

hazy breach
slate flume
#

From my understanding of how Ancient Arts works it is going to always proc with shuriken storm in aoe situations seeing that will most likely always get more than 6 sht? Then you can use the proc on Black Powder?

#

Quick question, do i need a hotkey for Thistle Tea for min max or just use it automatically?

hazy breach
#

But the "use strike at full cp" thing discussed above is ST only

lilac stag

#

(or well like 2-3 targets too, but not in big aoe)

slate flume
#

Got it so change everything discussed from ss to st in aoe and evis to bp

hazy breach

No

#

If its aoe dont use a builder on 7 cp

You can just replace your regular dance with this one so you dont really even need a new bind

plush roost
hazy breach
#

When you want to dance during blades but sectech isnt up, you can just hit it anyway, it will still cast dance

hazy breach
#

If blue man bad

#

Then dark skies ahead

plush roost
#

Ele is in a similar position

#

The stars could align.. .

hazy breach
#

Tbf if you got some giga melee boys you can always force a resto sham in there

#

Unless its atrocious, but most of the time even the "bad" specs are still fine enough

plush roost
#

Maybe if they buff rshams rot healing but i think rsham cant heal past 18s and some 19s

#

There is so much rot next season

#

And thats rshams weakness historically

#

What could end up happening is brew rdruid rogue ele devour

#

Was already decent, just not warlock

#

Or mage

#

Or bear hpal hehe

#

Im getting the vibe that next season is gonna be much more similar to tww s2, where you want 2 overall machines and a prio class

#

Unlike s3

#

There is just so much aoe with 1 prio in these keys constantly

U can macro storm and dance

You can make another macro, or you can just not enter dance at low cp

no nooo i wont

hazy breach

Because sims say you dont want to do that anyway

#

As trickyman

west tide
#

i see what about in aoe tho hmm anything is possible

plush roost

I put sec tec dance onto my old coldblood bind and kept natty dance and put storm dance whrre symbols was

If youre playing 700 haste you send a sex tec at 19 seconds of sblades, whether that is during a dance you held for that period of blades is up to you

we may use bp in ST when pick potent powder and danse, right?

Ive been doing some weird stuff in aoe lately, ive been doing dance storm apex coup sec tec. Seems insanely strong

hazy breach
#

But its minor enough that simc dont consider it a gain

plush roost
#

I wonder if proccing apex coup no matter what is worth now

olive canyon
#

Wait, i thought sectec>coup in prio

plush roost
#

Im rambling outloud dont mind me

brisk onyx
plush roost
#

The logic goes, sec tec 2 seconds off cd, dance storm (1 sec till sec tec) apex coup (sec tec ready) sec tec

hazy breach
#

But now that it actually does aoe

plush roost
#

Ive also been holding coup at >10 seconds before sec tec

hazy breach
#

Its presumably very strong

warm marlin
#

maybe better now

#

*in st

plush roost
#

Yeh in st it shouldnt matter

#

But if apex coup flurries its like a 2 for 1 special at AoE&W

warm marlin
#

just do dance/sectec -> shiv -> coup ofc garf

Yeah lets get shiv back into the box bud

why is DS opening with builder in dance and trickter with sectech btw?

#

i miss the info

uneven scarab
#

ds likes to start dance at low cp and im not sure we have the exact reason yet but its likely due to strike

#

If i had to make a guess

jaunty heath
#

yeah but than whats opener like

#

you go strike from stealth to apply mark anyway

#

than you do what

swift tinsel
#

Evisc then dance+storm

#

Blades trinkets etc

jaunty heath
#

but why

swift tinsel
#

Bc stone cold said so

uneven scarab
#

On jah

swift tinsel
#

The robot says it does more damage for ds to start dance with no cp

#

Some stuff under the hood

jaunty heath
#

i just dont get it cos opener strike evis cds dance storm sectech instead just strike cds dance sectech is weird

swift tinsel
#

Welcome to midnight

jaunty heath
#

its little bit confusing but rather than have different 4 dance macro i think i will just press my stuff fast 😄

uneven scarab
#

U only really NEED 1 dance macro

#

And then a naked dance one

swift tinsel
#

^

maiden oar
#

im using 5 bc im insane

swift tinsel
#

Hell yeah

maiden oar
jaunty heath
#

the dance macro wont save you anyway from missing GCD

maiden oar
#

it will

swift tinsel
#

I thought about it but I just have them all on binds that are very cozy to press together

uneven scarab
maiden oar
#

theres usually a .2s to .4s margin to get last gcd in dance

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it like

#

Specifically helps with that lol

jaunty heath
#

you can press macro before your GCD is free and it will cast dance before ability 😄

maiden oar
#

bc its like 6.2s dance length due to the way haste works

#

so u want to enter dance and press a global at the exact same time

#

to make it easy to hit the gcd at like 6.0xs into dance

jaunty heath
#

for me personally is easier running no macro

maiden oar
#

or 6.4 bc of coup

uneven scarab
maiden oar
#

but thats the reaon

uneven scarab
#

but yeah no ones forcing you to use them

maiden oar
#

yeah its better to wait for the gcd to not be free

#

bc if u lose a 10th of a gcd doing that 10 times in a row

short radish
maiden oar
#

the gcd u dont get at the end of the fight could be backstab

short radish
uneven scarab
maiden oar
#

if u miss a 10th of a gcd doing it manually and u coup in that dance

#

u guaranteed lose a dance gcd

#

or have to do weird haste tiering to make it more forgivi g

#

so waiting for gcd to be ready and then firing macro mitigates a disaster loss every time and it might add up to losing a gcd outside of dance anyway if u delay it too long 10 times in a row

jaunty heath
#

im use to use dance symbols and spell at same gcd for some years, surely i can hit just dance and ability within 0.1

maiden oar
#

if u wanna u can

#

all im saying is messing that up once is infinitely more punishing than pressing the macro that amt of time after the gcd comes up 10x in a row (in terms of ev)

How does the BP/Coup macro work?

hazy breach
#

Because of the janky way theyve coded coup you dont "know" the spell until its procced

#

So you can macro two on-gcd spells together despite normally not being able to

#

But idk, i wouldnt really recommend it as theres definitely moments where you'd want to hold coup

odd sandal
#

And then still use BP, or Eviscerate? In multi target.

hazy breach
#

BP does aoe damage, eviscerate does not

#

So yes you use BP in aoe

odd sandal
#

Why wouldn't they just add BP to Evis in the tooltip, to use Coup?

hazy breach
#

What

odd sandal
#

Tooltip says "your next Eviscerate", but if BP works too, why not just add it to the tooltip. Or am I not comprehending it correctly?

hazy breach
#

BP does not work with coup

#

Coup is an empowered eviscerate

odd sandal
#

Yeah, then I'm not understanding the BP/Coup macro like I mentioned earlier.

You press it
