soooo many hero pieces looted today, but drop to 600 haste with it from 701, can't get an accurate sim because of gems/enchants. how worth is 700 haste vs the 600 as trickster?

that faq is updated about the

having ancient arts on every non secret technique finisher during all shadow dances

lusty acorn
#

i have ques

nocturne shale
#

is this current true information

slate nest
#

No

Only supercharged cp

when i recraft should matterial high quality ?

Apex talent optimization:

  • Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
    Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
nocturne shale
#

only on supercharged

slate nest
#

Basically you want only for supercharged and then do strike evis even without aa

slate nest
nocturne shale
#

so basically usually just the first eviscerate after i enter dance

#

cause my first supercharged should be going to sec tech

slate nest
#

Yes, evis or coup

lusty acorn
nocturne shale
#

i see

lusty acorn
#

sterling alloy sorry

slate nest
#

Do you have 4set @nocturne shale ?

nocturne shale
# slate nest !aa

is there more commands like this with info i should perhaps know about

lusty acorn
nocturne shale
#

fucking stupid game

slate nest
spice crag
#

Anyone know how important 700 haste is vs 600 haste as trickster if it means 3-4 pieces going from champ to hero?

slate nest
#

important

nocturne shale
#

i remember looking at the chart and it said like 12 fucking % but then i was told that the entire thing was wrong

slate nest
#

For once you eventually get 4set, your second sectech should be on your second supercharged cp for better optimization

#

It's 14% and it isn't wrong

nocturne shale
#

holy fucking shit

#

that’s ridiculous

slate nest
#

At least all orange parsers have at least 2set

void ocean
#

you guys have sets

#

?

slate nest
#

No xd

#

I don't get sets

lusty acorn
nocturne shale
#

what’s the % for 2 set?

slate nest
#

Yea sure

slate nest
nocturne shale
#

i’m getting 2k tmrw and getting 2set prolly

slate nest
#

sub benefits the most from set, from any class

and it's not even close lmao

Do you guys have any good addon suggestions for tracking the Escalating Blade buff?

slate nest

#

And just fiddle around with buffs

Light Company Guidon (haste when used) - You need to use the trinket slightly before Shadow Dance to get the extension from Deepening Shadows. (delay of application is ~0.1-0.2 sec, but can take up to 1 sec, plan accordingly)

slate nest
sly delta
#

kk ty

slate nest
#

And the longer you dance the longer you do more dps

daring raptor
#

Anyone know why on our opener we hold the second dance until we have sec tech. but at 1.5min and 3min we don't do this?
Is this just purely becuase of lust?

alpine wraith
#

lust makes it easier yes otherwise it is very tight

#

and you might even miss the dance extend either way

hexed dagger
#

got em

indigo nexus
#

With 4 set, if I understand it correctly, it's okay to fire sectech without supercharge cbp as long as it's still in the dance window while shadowblades is active. Is that correct?

alpine wraith
#

yea the optimization to try and supercharge it is hard to do without lust

steel zinc

#

I hate that it's phyiscally painful not to craft the myth dagger rn

vale osprey
alpine wraith
#

thankfully i have my own alt to craft but the but would be disastrous

vale osprey
alpine wraith
#

there is a chance if you recraft that you lose the mythic crests

#

but get the same item

cobalt patrol
#

Wow..

vale osprey
#

It didn't happen to me (or anyone I actually know) tho

tribal blade
#

put a ticket into blizz and i bet you get the "did you check resources like wowhead for answers"

#

from their automated system

keen dome
#

I wonder how common it is and if something else is at play

#

My craft worked fine

old spindle
#

Is it possible to "skew" stat values when you sim for example Dropimizer

#

with us being kinda hard stuck 18%ish (more around 700 haste) it makes simming quite iffy. is it possible to ADD or SUBTRACT haste from a sim to see what it would suggest if i had particular haste values?

hot seal
#

If we crafted dagger, is there any scenario we dont upgrade it till 2nd boss?

alpine wraith
#

a scenario where you want to watch your myth crests number go up

#

for some reason

#

Anyone use any other macros other than the sd+sectec one?

slate nest
#

Renown trinket is good until either vessel (ew) gaze or plume

slate nest
#

I think these are the 4 best macros

#

(including dance+sectech)

wind flicker
#

U go blades+sd+sectec in that order?

slate nest
#

Yes

#

For the opener or every time blades is up

#

!macros

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.

slate nest
#

eh nevermind it's not here

#

Also do not use the trinket macro if you have guidon, it's bad

#

I am gonna repeat myself till the end of times (until blizz fix) about this xd

wind flicker
#

Appreciate the help guys!

celest drum
#

how do i use this trinket?

#

do i have to use this with my cds?

alpine wraith
#

you use it when you can

wind flicker
#

Do I just replace my bp button with the cdg+bp macro and just always press?

alpine wraith
#

it is a damage trinket

celest drum
#

Yea cause im running double on use

#

i assume i just use light with my cds

#

and other one just whenever

sullen bridge
#

Is trinket sims still not working?

vale pine
#

good morning lovely people, how was heroic for you, did you get good loot?

slate nest

Hey fuu!

vale pine
#

oh nice, congrats

slate nest
#

I wish I did hc, I am raiding on friday (hopege for tier from normal and hc)

#

Also need to do lfr xd

slate nest
#

Use lcg about 1 sec before cds

#

Trust me

#

ive gone up 10ilvls through all this m+ farm

#

but would liek this damn flag trinket

slate nest
#

deepening shadows updates every 1 second so you can get lucky with getting deepening shadows if you cast trinket and only wait like 0.1-0.2 seconds but you need to wait a little for your dance otherwise your deepening won't give you longer dance

#

if i have to cast puzzle box one more god damn time

wind flicker
#

Im so sick of my puzzle

#

Lol

plush olive
olive canyon
#

yep

vale pine
olive canyon
#

its like a meme (hold up im gonan fuck you up real hard once i get this cast off...stares at a huge pack of mobs)

vale pine
#

(we only raid 2.5h/raid day)

wind flicker
#

Why can't it just be instant and off gcd 😩

plush olive
#

they could have just made it instant use but it delays giving you the stats by 2 seconds

#

like its solved in the background

wind flicker
#

Ooo

#

That would work too

vale pine
#

puzzle box cast time for sure is annoying

vale pine
#

we have no rush

#

not top world rank

#

i did not get anything from hc so far tho

#

haha

olive canyon
#

heroic loot just comes down to trinkets for me at this stage.

vale pine

mostly for me too

#

i can catalyst my tier pieces

I snagged a sneaky gaze away from H chim after people bitched at the tanks / heals who rolled above me and somehow ended up in my lap

calm wing

They sold for a decent ammount since they had good stats

vale pine

start of xpac has too many motivated players

but once the "honeymoon" phase ends

it's not too hard to (slowly) climp up to decent guilds

It's why I puglord. Also schedules.

And I hate voice comm, too

#

Getting a few Mythic kills, good logs and you can leapfrog to somewhere better.

I actually managed to find a good guild while having literally 0 experience and being a huntard, managed to get 6/8 M on Manaforge with them :P
and they are friendly

vale pine
#

I/We had 3 issues in raid yesterday

warm vale
#

guys what should i buy the silver hunt or gold , cuz the silver has higher recipe diffuculty does it mean its better?? im so confused

keen dome
#

Gold = better. All it does is reduce the skill requiered for the crafter

#

Silver makes it harder to craft, and thereby harder to hit Rank 5 with

warm vale
#

alrighty thank u @keen dome

keen dome
#

Always try to use gold quality (max rank) reageants

  • RC Loot council did bug out/break multiple times.
  • Discord Voice Chat broke yesterday, we had to use the WoW in-game voice client
  • My Nameplate addon randomly stopped working (some other people also had addons break)
keen dome
#

Haha, how was the in-game voice?

wind flicker
#

Oof

calm wing

That's crazy

vale pine
#

NameplateKAI, because it solved a problem for me

#

(basically was required to make wow playable)

keen dome
#

Weird performance issues with the new default nameplates, right?

vale pine
#

it seems fixed

alpine wraith
#

for the crafter

vale pine
#

but yes

#

the issue was my framerate went down to 2 fps when i used default nameplates

keen dome
#

Very strange problem and I really wonder what they did to break it for low spec hardware

vale pine
#

NameplateKai had an option to dissable default nameplate hooks/unload them so they couldn't cause issues

#

had because they now removed the option when reworking their configurations

#

(tho the code is still there from what i saw, so you could set it manually in the .lua config)

#

but i had no performance impact from normal nameplates in raid yesterday

#

so i think blizz solved whatever was causing the problem

keen dome
#

Neat

last marten
#

is there a way to track the first dance buff, without checking our buff bar ? xd

alpine wraith
#

there are addons that track it

void ocean
#

ofc

#

this addon cleanup is the best example of the Cobra Effect I can think of

keen dome
#

Cobra effect?

#

More issues rearing it's head as you get closer?

void ocean
# keen dome Cobra effect?

The "cobra effect" refers to
a phenomenon where an attempted solution to a problem backfires, making the situation worse due to perverse incentives. Coined by economist Horst Siebert, the term originates from a story set in British-ruled India, where a bounty on dead cobras led locals to breed them for profit.

keen dome
#

Oh, that makes sense

#

It's always the british

hollow spear
#

I know stat weights are a meme, but it's kinda hilarious that the bot values haste lower than offhand dps beyond the threshold

void ocean
#

after they cancelled the incentive, cobra farmers released them to the wilderness and ended up having even more cobras around than before

keen dome
#

Hahaha

#

Yeah, that's a good analogy, esp with vibe coding being so rampant and bad

shadow lance
#

Goal was not to delete addons

#

But reduce the amount of mandatory tools

#

And reduce the gap between users and no users

slate nest
#

I love how they wanted to remove WAs but then the community decided to make most of the auras standalone addons OMEGAKEKW

keen dome
#

Also man you've got a christmas hat on it's almost april. smh.

slate nest
#

Feeling jolly all year long

void ocean
#

yea goal was to have in game options which render addons obsolete and unnecessary, which is, judging by the amount of addons around, clearly not the case

slate nest
#

I mean, they wanted to implement in game what addons did without the addon creators help

#

if they legit employed the major addon creators we'd have good ingame options

#

but that isn't the case

#

for example the Better(insert ingame option name) addons, they are so much better

#

they ruined details bcs now I can't have the DETAILS of my dps, as funny as that sounds

#

just bcs they limited combat data access

#

how to understand by logs what im doing wrong, no troll question, have no clue how to "read" them and compare

ah thank u

slate nest
#

Ignore the cooldowns macro

#

You dont use it

craggy thunder
#

this thing was hiding from me

#

i saw shindig use coup de grace black powder macro and i was like wtf...

#

so i had to come here

slate nest
#

Instead use:
#showtooltip Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

craggy thunder
#

yea i cant use cd macros anyways im using the annoying puzzle box

slate nest
craggy thunder
#

thats an amazing macro black powder coup

#

insane

vale pine
#

just make sure to stay in melee

craggy thunder
#

def

glacial stag
#

putting it rn lol

craggy thunder
#

thats what i said dude lol

glacial stag
#

yeah im just chocked lmao

craggy thunder
#

i was like wtf?

slate nest
#

Just make sure to put coup before bp

glacial stag
#

yup ofc

slate nest
#

otherwise it wont work

glacial stag
#

never thought abt it

#

but its rlly good

#

brain off with this

craggy thunder
#

its amazing

slate nest
#

I use 4 macros currently, one for bp coup, one for blades dance sectech, one for dance sectech and one for dance shuriken storm (if I ever have to dance without full cp)

#

These 4 addons legit doubled my overalls on keys xd

#

macros*

wind flicker
slate nest
#

@vale pine ?

#

is that better?

#

I mean I think it's the same outcome since it's all off gcd

#

So you just cast them the same frame anyways

upbeat sorrel
#

hi i read the FAQ about the AA optimizations and for the deathstalker the macro has shuriken storm which i understand since ShStrike will be delayed but how come its not a sectech like for trickster

slate nest
upbeat sorrel
#

ahh gotcha

craggy thunder
#

think its worth to put dance/storm together?

slate nest
#

Yes, because dance + shadow strike is slower by 0.2 seconds

craggy thunder
#

for trickster atleast

#

ahh

#

ok ill try that out

slate nest
#

You always want to have an insta cast spell for dance start so you don't waste time on first global

craggy thunder
#

true actually

slate nest
#

and since shadowstrike activates 0.2sec after dance you can't use that

proper eagle

Apex talent optimization:

  • Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
    Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
slate nest
#

Also if I can recommend, just play trickster for every fight, deathstalker is theoretically better by like 1% if I remember correctly but you have to learn deathstalker stuff aswell and that will just make your brain leak

verbal kelp
#

Hey all, do we craft a third item next week? And what is that? I currently have dagger and belt

slate nest
#

Craft what you don't have on the same ilvl, it doesnt matter

#

Just make sure to not put embelish bcs you can't equip 3rd embelishment

narrow shadow
#

This kind of good overall? Not sure what numbers are you guys getting on 11s
When I finished the key I realized I had no flask so now I feel I could have squeezed out more

wind flicker
#

What dungeon was that and what's ur ilvl?

narrow shadow
#

mgt and I'm not sure exactly (had to log out ) but around 255

slate nest
#

Set?

narrow shadow
#

4 set, yes

wind flicker
#

Ahh

slate nest
#

Checks out

wind flicker
#

I was thinking 2 set and was like damn

slate nest
#

Im pulling 80k ish overall

#

253

#

0set

wind flicker
#

Seems on par imo

narrow shadow
#

Nice. I have seen some caster comps with like 200k overalls already

#

So I was like meh

slate nest
#

We are melee, we deserve to be below casters, blizzard hates us

wind flicker
#

Well thats normal

narrow shadow
#

Cries in melee

slate nest
#

I am almost certain I can pull better overall on my mage at 236 xd

#

But I didn't want to be 4th mage on raid, so i became the only rogue

#

Great Success

wind flicker
#

I did a +11 maisara and it feels god awful for melee. But im also not that great

slate nest
#

caverns is also garbage dungeon

glacial stag
#

u did the right thing

wind flicker
#

More loot for u 😄

slate nest
#

It's not since we share tier with mage if im not mistaken PepeHands

glacial stag
#

we don't if i'm right

#

we have druids dh

slate nest
#

I can't remember

glacial stag
#

and another one im missing

craggy thunder
#

question team for M+ would heart of the wild be a better trinket than gale? i believe gale is better for raid from what wowhead is saying but at the same time i havent simed yet. just curious what ppls opinions are

glacial stag
#

isnt it monks

grizzled hornet
slate nest
#

Ahhh

#

Okay

#

So leather

glacial stag
slate nest
#

I just checked my raid

glacial stag
#

but always sim just to be sure

slate nest
#

It's me and our tank brew for tier xd

craggy thunder
#

yea gale is fire

slate nest
#

I also saw 4 mages so I'd be 5th frost mage if I was there OMEGAKEKW

glacial stag
craggy thunder
glacial stag
#

u should be good

wicked joltBOT
slate nest
#

I saw 1 tier for leather, lost to the tank last raid PepeHands

grizzled hornet
#

but always sim

wind flicker
#

Dungeon slice and patchwerk

slate nest
#

I can tell right now, gale is better, if heart was on use haste you'd be using heart but random proc haste is worse than stacking random proc agility

wind flicker
#

Not having to use puzzlebox even with a small dmg nerf might be some nice qol xD

glacial stag
#

yeah that trinket is cancer

slate nest
#

Still better than fuckin vessel

glacial stag
#

but its so good too

wind flicker
#

Its like a sour patch

slate nest
#

If I have a choice to use puzzlebox or vessel, Im choosing puzzlebox every time

slate nest
#

are those candy good? I'm eu so I never had any

drifting ether
glacial stag
#

i kinda feel like 4p is messing up with logs

#

yesterday night was a blast for me too

#

Was like wtf lol

wind flicker
#

4piece is cracked

#

o.o

drifting ether
#

Sub feels alot better to play with 4p

glacial stag
#

yeah for once its really game changer

slate nest
#

I think you can't do orange without 4set xd

#

or at least 2

drifting ether
#

Ya you can i did orange with 2p

#

97

slate nest
#

Will see friday what I can get

glacial stag
#

2p is rlly good too atm

tepid trellis
#

we need sub buffs immediatedly

slate nest
#

At least 2p if I get scammed by lfr rolls or raid xd

wind flicker
#

Going from 0p to 2p felt pretty good ngl

slate nest
#

Or just make sure people with 0p can compete with 4p

glacial stag
#

yeah but that would mean for it to be trash

#

which is never a good thing imo

plush pilot
#

whats the strat for the vanguard fight? spam SS and BP?

slate nest
#

Im not saying make us do 99 with 0p but I dont want 14% buff just from getting the 4p

glacial stag
#

Yeah i spammed BP all the fight yesterday

#

worked pretty decent

#

but youll end up 10th lol

#

anyway

plush pilot
#

yeah was 8th lol

tepid trellis
#

the stronger the tierset the better imo

#

makes it feel good to go from patch to patch

wind flicker
#

Yall using cleave talent build or the st one? In raid

tepid trellis
#

and gives you something to work for

glacial stag
wind flicker
#

Bet. Was doin the same

glacial stag
#

yeah its kinda the only st fight

craggy thunder
#

whats the max amount of mobs we hit with shuriken and black powder? is it 5 or 8?

wind flicker
#

Uncapped?

glacial stag
#

like hard cap

oh shiet

i regretted it

kinda bricking dance to cheap instead of genning 7 cps

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.

and everyone was so tired we fucked up the entire dungeon over and over

had at least 5 wipes

had to reset 1st boss 2 times

and still 2 chested it

the 13 seat was the same, had a shaman die 8 times, one wipe on a boss, stilled timed

yall make me wanna convert 2 vet pieces

tribal blade
olive canyon
#

honestly 4p then farming and hoping for cata charges is the play

nocturne shale
olive canyon

upgrade them as you get more charges

nocturne shale

it would make 2 set

tribal blade
nocturne shale

out of spite

#

lucky bastards…

glacial stag
#

already have dropped 2 catalyst charges

#

so definitely the play

olive canyon
#

I basically got 1 piece from raid, then cata'd one, 1 from vault, then cata'd the other from 2k rating

wind flicker
#

How yall have 2 charges already? I still only have 1

glacial stag
#

when u get the 4p

keen dome
#

2k from M+ gives a charge

glacial stag
#

you start to drop cata charges random

No shitttt

olive canyon
#

yep

#

Just need to do my last two dungeons at +2 and i can 4p then

o.o

yep and then you will start dropping more of them

to replace the bad piece you catalyzed before

First thing im doing when I wake up in the morning

Thanks for the info 🙏

Cata charges dropping after getting 4set is the best thing

Not seeing rogue during rwf is crazy tech

I assume shadow focus works with shadow dance too?? Or just stealth?

grizzled hornet

think of shadow dance = stealth

sick epoch
#

Yeah that's what I was thinning, thank you ❤️ I was just wondering why is gloomblade there, this talent existing next to shadow focus....

grizzled hornet
sick epoch
#

Yeah but it is on a row which is never gona be used for sure 😂

slate nest

And it's not usable since you wanna minimize your backstab usage xd

hi, any1 would like help me a bit on rotation issues i got ? i know is funny, but i think i somehow missunderstood something in spec

slate nest
#

Shoot

hallow torrent
#

i do quite well in m+ , ion over 10, from like 1 hour,with over 110k dps

#

but in raid, my logs are grey

slate nest
#

Tell me your average rotation for raid

hallow torrent
#

so i ,in 2 targets

#

i do use BP or evisc?

#

my rot,is showdowstrike, over 6 cb,i evic

#

on showdodance i got macro with seqtech

#

but i donty know if i have to keep

#

sectech, only when am on dancer

#

and never use it outside of dance

#

do i have to wait all th time,till dance come up?

slate nest
hallow torrent
#

so, unlees i got dance

#

i do not use it

night furnace
slate nest
#

And only with supercharged cp

night furnace
#

yeah

hallow torrent
#

yes is supercharged ok

#

got that mistake

#

so i got 2x dance

#

i delay the 2nd dance for the sectech

#

or use it

#

and on 3rd dance waity for sectech

#

i do got , 21 crit, 20 haste, 64mastery unbuffed

slate nest
#

For opener, you use shadow blades and you want to use 2 dance during that

hallow torrent
#

on blades am ok

#

i do the perfect rot

#

with 2x dance

#

2x sectech

#

outside of that seems i do got issues

slate nest
#

Outside blades you only dance when you have sectech

hallow torrent
#

ok

#

thats one mistake then

grizzled hornet
hallow torrent
#

i do

#

i got 4set yesterday

#

mythic weapon, trinkets etc

#

got light guidon

#

macro on blades

slate nest
#

No

#

That's not good

hallow torrent
#

what is not good?

#

every says is bis trinket on sub

slate nest
#

Use guidon, wait 1 second, then blades

hallow torrent
#

so first use trinket

#

anbd then the rest?

fossil sluice
#

sorry unrelated- does anyone have a trinket tier list for sub by any chance?

Apex talent optimization:

  • Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
    Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).
night furnace
slate nest
night furnace
#

when u use shadowdance u supercharge

#

so if u have full cp + 2 supercharged u actually get for example 7 instead of 5 power usage

slate nest
#

But it's better to macro dance + sectech so you don't have to think about it

@tribal blade puzzle box gaming gang gang

short radish
#

fuck guideons

#

fuck tick timers

#

just solve the puzzle

night furnace
shadow snow
#

fak the puzzle, it breaks my stealth

tribal blade
#

lol i can't wait until it's "fuck puzzlebox fuck cast times just wait the 1 second timer"

slate nest
night furnace
#

actually?

#

we dont wait 30sec longer for blades instead?

short radish
#

no

#

well

#

depends

hallow torrent
#

so next question,for raid how much haste do i need? i got 20 haste, 21 crit,and 65% mastery

short radish
#

you can wait 30 seconds if you don't lose a cast of sblade

tribal blade
#

situationally you can do that

short radish
#

so this boss died at 6min (enrage)

night furnace
#

ah

tribal blade
#

if over the course of an encounter you don't lost a cast of blades

slate nest
short radish
#

so if i casted every 3 min i wouldnt get a 3rd use on the 6min

tribal blade
#

it's probably easier to do that in keys

hallow torrent
#

ok i got 662 haste

#

ll fix it,thanks a lot

slate nest
#

Np

#

I dont actually know, is it still 700 haste with guidon?

slate nest
#

Okay

tribal blade
#

or else you won't have enough haste for every dance besides just the x2 in blades

short radish
#

with puzzle box

tribal blade
#

or at least it's dangerous

short radish
#

because 5:30 fight syncing puzzlebox with 2nd pot

#

feels kinda big?

jaunty heath
#

ye sending second puzzle with adds right?

short radish
#

idk i just send

jaunty heath
#

i mean it just line up

short radish
#

it does but it also feels awkward switching targets around like that

#

also

fossil forge
#

double on use tech v2

short radish
#

puzzle box timing does NOT line up with adds

jaunty heath
#

idk i got heroic guidon as nobody else play it

tribal blade
#

udk def does

#

if you have one of those

jaunty heath
#

propably not in my split

tribal blade
#

nice lucky

random mason
#

I got guidons over the 2 uh dks in the raid garf_sit

jaunty heath

yeah dk and warr in second split

#

but my loot prio on gaze propably very low 😄

#

that rep trinket will stay for a while

tribal blade
#

fun having 1 easy trink to get

#

and 1 very difficult

slate nest
#

Just get from vault OMEGAKEKW

jaunty heath
#

rogue in weird spot anyway

random mason
#

Tbh if you take out dragons and vanguard the raid is pretty fine for rogue on hc

short radish
#

yeah but heroic nothing matters

tribal blade
slate nest
#

When rogue best class?

carmine portal
#

rogue only raid when?

tribal blade
slate nest
#

when rogue stack?

tribal blade
#

kind of

junior ether
#

do we use SD if sectech not coming in like 2 seconds and if we're not holding for blades?

tribal blade
#

max even said last tier "we should have brought more rogues"

because poop puddles spawning on me

fuck puzzle box

junior ether

#

Fimbul will be happy once they fix shadowblades and we can macro guidon to burst xd

short radish
#

true

#

gotta get one of those guideons though

slate nest
#

I said shadowblades not the actual talent name ICANT

tribal blade
#

the way i'm sending guidons with cds is starting to fuck me up sometimes

#

because i'm doing guidons>blades during 1 sec wait>dance+sectec macro

#

but pressing all that i can brain fart and mess it up

#

because piano

short radish
#

yeah thats kinda cursed

#

gmgm

slate nest
tribal blade
#

might just macro dance+sectec with blades

short radish
#

i think i might end up macro'ing it with shadowstrike

tribal blade
#

for 1 less button press

#

and full afk 1 sec

short radish
#

that macro so chill

tribal blade
slate nest
tribal blade
#

doesn't happen often, but can happen when trying to do super tight timing for w/e reason

hollow spear
#

It definitely is more than 0.2 seconds a lot of times

short radish
#

make a new macro/press sdance+strike then press the macro

hollow spear
#

If I am too trigger happy, my dances are definitely not buffed

tribal blade
#

not more macros por favor

tribal blade
#

yeah could work

#

i have a button for dance+strike macro already anyways

slate nest
#

Macro your macros! And the. you can macro effectively

short radish
#

thats what iv'e been doing if i fuck up

slate nest
#

Macro

tribal blade
#

from way back when

tall girder
#

does ur macro include boxing late fimb

hollow spear
#

you kinda lost me with the dance strike macro

#

what is that supposed to rectify

slate nest
#

dance + strike macro KEKHold

tribal blade
#

i used to use dance+strike macro all the time before they broke it

slate nest
#

Yes

#

Because it was good before it was broken

hollow spear
#

I am just wondering in what circumstances we are supposed to use this

short radish
hollow spear
#

I am not sure if it was ever not broken, the 0.2 seconds just didn't matter

slate nest
#

When for example you get into a dance window (either blades dance sectech or just normal dance sectech) and you have 0 cp

hollow spear
#

Now you are frothing at the mouth if you are at 640 haste only

tribal blade
#

it def used to work, i think it was either during TWW or DF beta i was on the ptr

tall girder
tribal blade
#

used dance+strike macro and was like "wtf is going on why isn't it going off"

#

then the TCs discovered blizz broke it

#

and never fixed it

hollow spear
#

whoda guessed

slate nest
#

Oh no

vale pine
slate nest
#

It has been too long

vale pine
#

3% buff fixed everything

slate nest
#

They can't fix it now

hollow spear
#

Vanguard is just doomed, no matter what they do

keen dome
#

I assume Charrend is the outlier dot. Hoarding all the damage.

tribal blade
#

they would have to do some insane knob tuning with nimble to fix this

#

or BP

vale pine
tribal blade
#

but then we'd become god mode in keys

vale pine
#

e.g.

tribal blade
#

so there's no winning

vale pine
#

you used to use stealth in dance

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

they've "deved" us into a corner again

keen dome
#

imagine how good we would be if nimble still worked like it did in TWW

vale pine
#

shadow dance was allowed to be used during shadow dance

alpine wraith
#

i find rogue fixes funny because sometimes they just give up

fossil forge
alpine wraith
#

like with stealth and dance in legion

#

nightstalker

#

subterfuge

vale pine
#

the reason it isn't anymore was that they broke the initial "short" gcd lock

#

and instead of fixing that

tribal blade
vale pine
#

they just made it so you can't use it during

fossil forge
alpine wraith
#

i think there may be more people that care about keys than raid nowadays

short radish
# vale pine haha

i'd laugh so hard if they buffed black powder back to what it was before (and fix nothing)

alpine wraith
#

they just arent as loud

#

raiders are elite crybabies

fossil forge
slate nest
#

Anything in the code that is at least 2 expansions old is ancient text and they can't touch it bcs they don't understand the spaghetti

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

copilot may nuke the code

tribal blade
#

so maybe it actually does happen

alpine wraith
#

and im all for it

short radish
fossil forge
#

We can expect 8% bp buff.

hollow spear
alpine wraith
#

@copilot please try to fix rogue bugs without breaking them

fossil forge
alpine wraith
#

and it just deletes all builders

alpine wraith
#

no more bugs you cant use finishers anymore!

slate nest
hollow spear
#

I am sure glad that they fixed MM being too strong on Vanguard

alpine wraith
#

they can nerf bear again

slate nest
hollow spear
#

idk

tribal blade
#

hunter is one of the most popular classes in game

vale pine
chrome quiver
#

Mages is their love child

#

hunters is just the most popular

keen dome
#

What if they all are their lovechild

vale pine
#

because i remember having this discussions in here

hollow spear
#

if I ask 5 people what Blizzard's "lovechild" is, I'll get 8 different classes in reply

vale pine
#

basically, our cleave was, while not insane, quite fine in tww

vale pine
#

when they changed nimble flurry

dense coyote
#

Were we buffed yesterday ? Or anytime recently ?

vale pine
#

i remember a lot of people argued that its only better from what we had before

#

so we get the same benefits

tribal blade
#

we're back to having cleave issues because of storm CP gen

vale pine
#

my concern was, that we wouldn't

tribal blade
#

storm is now 50 energy

#

kinda cursed

alpine wraith
#

problem is just finishers arent as strong again

vale pine
#

turns out, we didn't

#

and just got less damage in cleave

slate nest
#

wait huh?

alpine wraith
#

so now you do have bp but

vale pine
dense coyote
#

I’m parsing 95-99’s and I’m the third from lowest in most fights in raid

alpine wraith
#

biggest problem is they nerfed 3 things in a combo

hollow spear
#

I think damage wise we are actually pretty good in keys

alpine wraith
#

where do i have it

hollow spear
#

it's "only" cleave that absolutely sucks

alpine wraith
#

we have a meme from legion

tribal blade
#

i dunno if they make a talent "BP now strikes twice for X% effectiveness when it hits 4 targets or less"

vale pine
#

but also not insane

hollow spear
#

I don't need "insane"

#

The problem is that we are now at a point where they cant move

#

if they tune our cleave, we will be insane

dense coyote
#

We need to complain to blizzard

alpine wraith
#

insane at being top 10

dense coyote
#

They need to tune our single target up

vale pine
#

i think the argument was

alpine wraith
#

maybe they do care too much about m+

#

because we are "fine" there

hollow spear
#

our single target is fine

vale pine
#

that nimble made tuning harder

slate nest
vale pine
#

but i think its harder to tune now

tall girder
#

heroic cosmos sucks

vale pine
#

because, if you buff BP, you always buff aoe

dense coyote
alpine wraith
#

or 20% behind the warrior in nya

slate nest
#

And I was just decent

hollow spear
alpine wraith
#

i had to play spriest in EN

#

because it literally did double dmg

#

than my rogue

vale pine
#

but our cleave damage is at least 30% behind

#

which is actually funny

dense coyote
alpine wraith
#

i guessed we could be good snipers and we can be

hollow spear
#

and is that all single target or what

dense coyote
#

So I’m not smoking anything and we need to be tuned up

alpine wraith
#

but after the nerf we cant even do that

hollow spear
#

which fight in raid is single target

vale pine
#

because it means, the entire bp/nimble nerf was technically overnerfing

slate nest
#

There is no single target fight in this raid

short radish
hollow spear
#

"my parses are good and I'm behind". Conclusion: "our single target sucks".

vale pine
#

i mean its a hot take

alpine wraith
#

from few days ago guess how much dps did the top dps on this fight

vale pine
#

but i did like nimble before

#

where you had more decisions

alpine wraith
#

i take bets

vale pine
#

the main argument people had against it

hollow spear
#

idk if you had to make more decisions

vale pine
#

was that aoe vs. st was not super obviouse

hollow spear
#

it's just different cutoffs now

vale pine
#

my argument for it is

tribal blade
#

middle of the pack on 2nd boss

fossil forge
#

Nimble was peak !!

vale osprey
tribal blade
#

if you just look at boss dam

vale pine
#

even if you palyed it wrong

alpine wraith
vale pine
#

you did not lose as much

#

the diffrence beteen evis/bp was within low %

dense coyote
hollow spear
vale pine
#

so the evis/bp threashold was actually not that punishing

tribal blade
vale pine
#

and most people could just evis up to like 5-8 targets

vale osprey
tribal blade
vale pine
#

and never care

vale osprey
#

Maybe 115k

vale pine
#

and only BP once you go AOE

tribal blade
#

sucking would be bottom of the charts

slate nest
dense coyote
vale pine
#

we look good/decent on the single target fights

#

Cooked take factory

vale pine

its just, these are very early in the raid

anyone have any idea why the note section doesnt appear when LFG through the dungeon finder

rogue is fine

its just weak for a pure dps class without raid utility

I think we are just cursed with the current iteration

@tribal blade unc how are you still pulling 12 hour shifts

#

On wow

vale pine
hollow spear
#

Don't think they have the "tuning levers" for easy fixes rn

vale pine
#

i do think so

keen dome
#

It's a knob, not a lever, imo

vale pine
#

you can overtune everything

#

and make it good

hollow spear
#

But they won't

#

is my point

vale pine
#

nerfing the good classes is also a way to boost up the middle of the pack

Hi guys, I might be asking the most dumb question, does it actually matter if you use Shadow Blades 0.1 seconds befoee Shadow dance? or cann you use them in any order if macrod together

which is impossible
