#

But TBH I think most of the visuals are hard to see because we're fighting mostly void mobs or going into caves and whatnot

#

its black on black on purple on black

dusky yacht
#

It should be if you put spells on ALL you’re pvping, if you put spells on essential you just wanna see the boss, important shit like bubbles freedom, tricks, …

Hey, what is the best in a 06:20 fight with a 2min cd trinket ?

#

0:00 BURST with fight potion +trinket
1:30 BURST
3:00 BURST with trinket
4:30 BURST
6:00 BURST with fight potion +trinket

or

0:00 BURST fight potion + trinket
2:00 BURST trinket
4:00 BURST trinket
6:00 BURST fight potion + trinket

#

You got a point

dusky yacht
vale osprey
#

You use box etc as a 3 min trinket

swift tinsel
#

isn't this just old FW debuff and Shadowed Finishers

grizzled gust
#

I press box before going into a pull and then dont touch it again unless the stars align because I keep forgetting i have it due to the channel being annoying

dusky yacht
#

Then don’t use box because why

swift tinsel
#

just managed a +10 skyreach where the other two dps were doing 22k and 26k respectively on the first boss

swift tinsel
#

twas an experience

silver grove
#

I was using guidon and it was easy to get a second secret tech in my shadow blades window but I switched to puzzle box, it’s still doable to get 2 techs right?

dusky yacht
#

Go to training dummy and check

silver grove
#

am at work and was just thinking about it lol

swift tinsel
#

when it was a debuff

#

targets with said debuff procced an extra shadow damage hit from evisc/bp

dusky yacht
#

I thought it was a debuff

#

It a buff now

#

?

iron whale
#

a yes

dusky yacht
#

Oh so it only works for us

#

Or some shit

swift tinsel
#

yes

dusky yacht
#

I mean I knew that but I thought it was an ‘individual debuff’, idk

swift tinsel
#

it used to cause problems with the number of targets that we switched from evisc to bp with nimble

#

based on number of FW out

dusky yacht
#

Oh

swift tinsel
#

to the point we bp'd

#

at 4 targets

#

how we looking for tues? sin looking like a swap choice or are we sitting pretty on sub

Rogue do low dps

#

Bring shame to guild

red flame
#

Rogue do low damage (ローグの攻撃はゴミ). same parse as arms war (パース赤、戦士と同じ). Bring shame to guild (ギルドの恥). M+ instant decline. (招待拒否). I stand in city like NPC.

lucid jackal
#

A 0.8% buff doesn't really matter

#

its like fine on the last 2 bosses

vale pine
#

because there is more to it than storm vs. evi vs. strike vs bp

vale pine
#

its kind of the small details that matter

#

think of it like this, league of legends, each player has 4 buttons

#

what is so interessting in pressing 4 buttons

shrewd lantern
#

Rogue do low damage (ローグの攻撃はゴミ). same parse as arms war (パース赤、戦士と同じ). Bring shame to guild (ギルドの恥). M+ instant decline. (招待拒否). I stand in city like NPC.

vale pine
#

yet, it truns out, lol is a lot more than 4 buttons.

Dang, only equaled out to a .8% increase? sounds like i dont need to recraft my gear then PepeFull

If Rogue got Soulthirst Venom from Valeera instead of Atrophic Poison would that be broken?

One pendulum ez

Two pendulum fml

vale pine
#

Means a big question in any discussion about "what do people like about x/y"

#

is the willingness of the person asking to dive deeper into the discussion

iron whale

tho, i would argue someone asking such questions is typically not interessted in that

hello my friends one day we will be buffed

There's no way atrophic poison is that good

i was out on pallies & alleria

west tide

im sittin myself on pallies and alleria too

manic salmon

they brought in 260 hunter a week ago and he was doing 200k sustained

iron whale
manic salmon
#

SURELY

shrewd lantern

i think we're playing excess healers

#

on pallies

manic salmon
#

theres something im doing wrong

compact spindle
#

140k good damage for rogue !

manic salmon
#

nah

iron whale
manic salmon

6 healers is pretty mandatory

on pallies still

stuck arrow

!fuu

wicked joltBOT

Yeah im basically out for another healer

west tide

we are 5 healing it

shrewd lantern

but because of it you are running either 3 or 4 huntera

#

4 preferrably

shrewd lantern

can i get lane nidalee back

this nidalee is so tanky dude

jungle feels like torture to play

now ur the sexiest sub rogue

@vale pine your sheet include the sin buffs yet?

Is sin the play for raid prog now?

manic salmon

how does it feel

I'm gonna buff sub rogue

i played her in all roles

🧦

vale pine

also jungle, before it was popular

manic salmon
#

do you look like nidalee irl

#

bet you do

stuck arrow
iron whale
vale pine
#

nidalee is kinda like sub rogue in a sense

#

it has all the super small optimizations, glass cannon

iron whale
vale pine
#

even tho riot removed a lot of her skill expression, shes still one of the highest skill celling jungler

stuck arrow
#

Yeah - big dam if played right - if played wrong useless. Huge skill expression.

Obviously we're a far cry from that now.

I think Nidalee is too though, lol

vale pine
#

e.g. her skillshot is still one of the narrowest in game, so hitting against a good player is very hard if he knows how to dodge

rare goblet
#

One question about Single Target . You guys Go Double finisher with you apex Talents Proc or do you shadowstrike again to get another proc and do the Next finisher then ?

tulip light
#

anyone playing dragons mythic can tell me if its the play to evis or bp on the 2 dragons or if its w/e. all logs i see bp on 2

vale pine
#

also she can do some rly insane jumps over some walls, hitting them during a competitive match is insane

shrewd lantern
#

Pretty sure its bp on 2

#

unless you're positioning to dodge gloom orbs

manic salmon
#

bp with pp

vale pine
#

if you are not skilled in potent powder

#

evis

#

if you are

#

bp

tulip light
#

ok thanks guys

shrewd lantern

how else are you gonna pad on orbs

#

without pp

#

what da helly

manic salmon

love pp

iron whale

anybody else

stuck arrow
#

Nidalee Wall hops feel so good.

And tight execution on AA resets and such feel very similar to old sub.

shrewd lantern
#

/s

iron whale
#

TRUE AGH Zed, exactly, likely the most indeed

#

especially the shadow clone fantasy

pastel geyser
#

have they fixed any of the problems with the league of legends client that have existed since the dawn of that shitty launcher client relationship

stuck arrow
#

Zed style clones is my ultimate sub rogue rework. Would love it if that got incorporated into sub.

iron whale
#

also isn't Zed a lot about skill ceiling expression?

vale pine
#

this league season is good from what friends tell me

#

just don't play jungle

shrewd lantern
#

they could have used kyveza animations

vale pine
shrewd lantern
#

instead of this goober shadow clone shit

iron whale
hushed roost
#

need shadow clone tank dattebayo

iron whale
#

I am a jungle player and I enjoy it honestly

hushed roost
#

and shadow clone battle res dattebayo

plush roost
#

Nidalee is sub rogue comparison was not on my bingo card

#

Real and tru tho

pastel geyser
iron whale
#

😆

plush roost
#

She is the hardest minmax jungler by a metric landslide

shrewd lantern
vale pine
# iron whale WHY NOT

its a extremely vollatile role, its super strong but even the best players who hit high challanger ranks now abuse the system to get high ranks due to the volatility

shrewd lantern
#

easy is popular

vale pine
#

like i know the rank 1 eu

#

now abuses duoq shenanigans

#

which did prior to this season only soloq

#

and i am not even sure if he did even reach high ranks

iron whale
pastel geyser

shrewd lantern
pastel geyser
vale pine
#

you can fall behind very easy too, and there is very little you can do to comeback then

shrewd lantern
#

most specs if you play long enough you can do effortlessly

vale pine
#

and in soloq, you can't carry a high portion of your games like that

#

unlike in the last few seasons

shrewd lantern
#

i could play sl dust outlaw on autopilot

vale pine
#

you basically could carry your team easy if you played exceptional

stuck arrow
shrewd lantern
#

after you play long enough you just get into a rhythm

#

and do whats correct without thinking

vale pine
#

i am honest, dust isn't exactly that great on outlaw

#

outlaw does not need an acellerator like dust

shrewd lantern
#

it was considered trickier than venthyr

#

since you had to watch the cd on 4-5 very short cd abilities

quaint lodge
#

walked into sub rogue chat to see nidalee being compared to sub rogue

pastel geyser
quaint lodge
#

did not expect to see that one

shrewd lantern
#

assa is the simple spec of rogue

#

and thats fine

quaint lodge
#

all 3 specs of rogue are the simple spec this season

rare goblet

One question about Single Target . You guys Go Double finisher with you apex Talents Proc or do you shadowstrike again to get another proc and do the Next finisher then ?

vale pine
keen dome
wicked joltBOT
#

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).
shrewd lantern
#

outlaw probably still punishes you the hardest

stuck arrow
shrewd lantern
#

for fucking up though

quaint lodge
#

that tracks lowkey

vale pine
#

if i didn't get her i either went jungle or support

shrewd lantern
#

yet the brainlets would say outlaw is just sinister spam

pastel geyser
shrewd lantern
#

and parse green

quaint lodge
#

nidalee top is strong these days

pastel geyser
quaint lodge
#

every few months it shows up in my solo queue games

vale pine
shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

tidal salmon
shrewd lantern
#

sub half the shit rn feels like you're accounting for bugs

#

lmfao

quaint lodge
#

are there really that many bugs

pastel geyser
vale pine
#

would not say bugs

quaint lodge
#

the only one ive noticed is ancient arts and sec tec interactions

vale pine
#

but rather some design decisions

stuck arrow
shrewd lantern
#

is guidon haste not registering

#

not a bug?

tidal salmon
quaint lodge
#

not really a bug, just the game updating slow

ripe ravine
#

isnt guidon just it doesnt give haste until the flag hits the ground?

hazy breach
#

Nop

#

It gives the haste insta

#

But the issue isnt the trinket

stuck arrow
#

It's the snapshot taking time

hazy breach
#

Its deepening shadows

vale pine
#

the haste application is instant but deepening updates in a set intervall, can be (up to) 1 sec delay due to that

pastel geyser
shrewd lantern
#

rtb is literally fine

ripe ravine
#

damn i horribly misunderstood that

shrewd lantern
#

90% of people who complain about rtb never played outlaw

vale osprey
shrewd lantern
#

for more than a week

tidal salmon
vale osprey
#

But we have kind gamers that answer questions here

pastel geyser
keen dome
shrewd lantern
keen dome
#

That would make it fine

ripe ravine
#

luckily its just one of those misunderstandings thats pretty trivial, sinve i still played around the whole thiung in the normal way

pastel geyser
shrewd lantern
#

its far from the real issue of the spec

#

since SL

#

Kind of like how most people who complained about crackshot

#

never played the spec serious

shrewd lantern
#

with a straight face

stuck arrow
# vale osprey But we have kind gamers that answer questions here

Rogue discord is the best TBH. The TCs & top level players create a great environment and also just drop knowledge bombs.

Lots of discords either hyper casual or are basically elitist jerk style feelycrafters.

Rogue his a real nice mid point and has the best TCs imo. It's crazy how many specs and classes don't even try to make sims match reality.

shrewd lantern
#

wdym you dont like 80% dance uptime

shrewd lantern
#

and 80% blades uptime

#

no i will never press feint bcause its a dance global

#

!

manic salmon
#

rogue discord is the best

vale pine
manic salmon
#

so many femboys here

pastel geyser
vale pine
#

if anything, the current, very easy version

vale osprey
#

Part of why I don't roll off the class is genuinely the discord

vale pine
#

is probably more popular than other more complicated ones

#

even tho it would need a bit of the DK tuning boost

#

^^

shrewd lantern
tidal salmon
shrewd lantern
#

which had a comical number of issues

pastel geyser
jade oasis
vale pine
shrewd lantern
pastel geyser
#

but sub in DF s1 was more fun by a mile

jade oasis
#

to me it felt like the most nothingburger button oat

vale pine
shrewd lantern
#

sub in df s1 was basically sepulcher

vale pine
#

send everything on cd

shrewd lantern
#

so snoozefest

stuck arrow
vale pine
#

is something a lot of people like to do

#

and that was exactly how you played it

shrewd lantern
#

then df s2 came and you didnt even gear mastery

pastel geyser
shrewd lantern
#

because your spec was braindead strike spam

#

flag was alright when it did damage itself

#

when they removed that part

#

its just.....why?

#

rupture was kind of bloat too

#

in the sense they removed sanguinary vein

#

so it was just a random finisher that did more over time than spending the points on an evis

manic salmon
#

i hate what they did to danse

#

nd that they made shadowcraft basically apex

shrewd lantern
#

ig amirdrassil sub with the shadow rupture tier

#

had some funny gaming with ashes

#

but holy hell df s1/2 sub deserves to burn

#

in a dumpster fire

#

there's a reason i still played outlaw on every other boss in voti

#

also, cto made you basically have multiple buffs at all times

vale pine
#

flag was good for one reason

#

it gave us a strong 90 sec cooldown

shrewd lantern
#

it just felt pointless to be on its own cd when it didnt do damage

#

but the damage was due to the conduit

#

I still miss manual bonespike for 2/3 specs

#

it just never made sense on sub

vale pine
#

i mean, everything removed was seen as pointless

shrewd lantern
#

i actually liked ER

vale pine
#

yet, somehow, with only redundant things removed

shrewd lantern
#

minus stech being rng

vale pine
#

subtlety seems to be a lot worse in many parts

#

i haven't figured out why tho

shrewd lantern
#

the spec feels insanely restrictive

#

you have to send stechs on cd

vale pine
#

(i am joking, i know why, but people kept telling me "nothing changed")

shrewd lantern
#

or brick alignment

keen dome
#

Someday they'll make SecTec a single damage ability and not the.. spaghetti it is

vale pine
#

any issue is solvable

shrewd lantern
#

also dance should be a 30s cd

#

not 20

#

if sb is 90

vale pine
#

its just about how much time you can put into a problem space

shrewd lantern
#

though i wouldnt mind if dance was back

#

to 1min cd 10s duration

#

personally

#

sub not being a burst spec feels wrong

dusky yacht
#

I ate kfc and I’m no longer grumpy

shrewd lantern
#

Like the spec isnt a burst spec rn

#

outside of sectech

#

and coup

dusky yacht
#

And AA

shrewd lantern
#

AA is just old shadowcraft

#

they removed it and added to a "new" passive.

vale pine
#

its a diffrent version

#

i honestly don't like getting 5cp refunds

shrewd lantern
#

kind of like how they took outlaw's old passives

vale pine
#

it feels bad

shrewd lantern
#

and put it on gravedigger

vale pine
#

but overall

#

subtlety has a okay baseline

#

just needs more time to cook

shrewd lantern
#

It just feels restrictive

#

since this spec is just souping up sectechs

#

and nothing else

vale pine
#

i mean

#

think

pastel geyser
#

when wasnt that the case

vale pine
#

what would happen if you put secret on a high cd

#

like 90 sec or so

shrewd lantern
#

dfa sub

vale pine
#

and gave one free use of secret

#

if you press dance

pastel geyser
#

make sec tech a choice node with DFA for higher ST

vale pine
#

so, similar to how shots in the dark works

pastel geyser
swift tinsel
#

I still want sectech to funnel

dusky yacht
#

Hold up fuu is cooking

shrewd lantern
#

wouldnt work since dfa build worked around stacking 4-5 damage amps

vale pine
#

with this change, you suddenly get

#

a lot more dynamic

vale pine
#

if we want some amount of funnel

swift tinsel
shrewd lantern
#

nah goremaw

pastel geyser
#

we could get funnel if they made deathstalker not a pile of garbage

shrewd lantern
#

fuck that dumb ability

#

it was useless in legion

#

still useless now

swift tinsel
#

I mean they can always just remove goremaws instead of reworking it into something that isn't remotely close to goremaws

vale pine
#

deathstalker gets changes in .5

#

so its not like

#

that bad anymore

#

(its not even bad, just annoying)

shrewd lantern
#

deathstalker just feels last minute on sub

#

and designed for assa

pastel geyser
#

annoying is bad as far as im concerned honestly

dusky yacht
#

Man am I the only rogue happy with sub, feels good being a returning player who doesn’t know what he missing

undone ridge
#

whats up with crafting a MH dagger for myth crests, good or not so good?

shrewd lantern
#

like i dont get the complaints about ds assa last expansion

#

it felt fine

pastel geyser
keen dome
shrewd lantern
#

ds assa was literally fine

pastel geyser
#

i had a lot of fun when mark would fall off and i didnt have vanish

shrewd lantern
#

when vanish wasnt a dps cd

pastel geyser
#

vanish was an iron wire cd

shrewd lantern
#

who tf plays iron wire

#

outside of s1

pastel geyser
#

everyone. that shit was so good

shrewd lantern
#

nah it was too big a dps loss

#

to take it past s1

pastel geyser
#

i brought it for specific dungeons because the silence was really useful on certain packs

shrewd lantern
#

if you pug maybe

#

but pugging lol....

vale pine
#

iron wire was insane

#

when you could take it for no damage loss

shrewd lantern
#

yeah thats why it was worth in s1

#

since the dps loss was neglible

#

it was too strong for its s1 placement

#

especially when they made subterfuge a 12s buff

jade oasis
shrewd lantern
#

in keys in s3 yeah

#

but most people played sub that season

pastel geyser
jade oasis
#

xd

shrewd lantern
#

nah they specificaly fucked singular in s3

pastel geyser
#

your mark would just disappear sometimes

shrewd lantern
#

to not work with spatter

pastel geyser
#

yeah then they broke funnel

shrewd lantern
#

mark disappearing didnt really happen

#

maybe if the mob immuned

#

or flew away

pastel geyser
#

or if the boss had a phase

shrewd lantern
#

well yeah

pastel geyser
#

which a lot of bosses had

shrewd lantern
#

thats not a bug

#

thats just bad design

pastel geyser
#

but it would absolutely disappear in packs

shrewd lantern
#

It did not just "randomly" disappear

pastel geyser
#

this was a probably we complained about in the sin channel all the time

shrewd lantern
#

i mean i played sin all of s1/2 and never had mark "randomly" disappear

#

forgetting which mob you had it on is different

swift tinsel
#

gotta add the soul swap inhale for mark

#

if they're dead-set on it being ass to spread otherwise

jade oasis
#

i did one key as sin in s3

#

before the nerfs

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

so you can pocket it if you need to while boss disappears

shrewd lantern
#

i found mark annoying but this "random" disappearance for the most part is people forget which mob it was on

#

then it just expired

swift tinsel
#

I did like having a Plater color for marked target

#

in the off chance

shrewd lantern
#

just never swap off your mark target

swift tinsel
#

"in the off chance"

shrewd lantern
#

focus kick macro

#

if something i wasnt assigned to kick kills the other chud

#

not my fault

#

play better bozo

dusky yacht
#

Kick and stun everything, make the aoe ccers eyes go wide and their mouths open, retreat late in the evening to bed with good woman, experience pure satisfaction and karmic balance

shrewd lantern
#

using cheap unironically is like

#

the fastest way to spot rogue alts

#

no mains press that shit outside pvp

dusky yacht
#

Omg he’s using his abilities to prevent a wipe

#

What a noob

#

-mw monk fotm player

shrewd lantern
#

tbf its mostly to cover other people not pressing their kicks

#

and if they die thats on them

dusky yacht
#

Yes that’s what carrying is and what playing better means

#

Only person who is losing is you, you’re throwing water into the boat you’re in and pretending it’s superiority

swift tinsel
#

crazy thing is other peoples kicks aren't always targeted at them

shrewd lantern
#

the person who misses their kick usually is doing terrible damage

#

so no real loss if they die

swift tinsel
shrewd lantern
swift tinsel

perfectly healthy perspective

Not funny enough.

yes you use bp focused builds

at least potent power

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.

Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back.
Why? - This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.

hi, whats the best way to use the Algethar box? cant find much info on it, thought i'd ask here

crimson thorn
rigid delta
#

Ahh thanks!

lofty bluff
#

Basic questions guys; in the wowhead guide for secondary stat distribution suggestions it shows an about equal allocation for crit and mastery in single target. I'm confused whether it refers to % or actual rating though. Does it suggest I aim for 30% - 30% crit/mast or is it suggesting that I aim for like 900 rating of each (hypothetical)?

#

Because sub has naturally high Mastery % without much rating.

vale osprey
gleaming crane
#

what are we crafting after dagger and wrists ?

hazy breach
#

Whatever sims the highest

swift tinsel
#

haste edging achieved

stuck arrow
valid yoke
#

is puzzlebox better than guidon for raid now?

graceful crown
#

idk the out timing of the 2min trinket sucks a lot

dry flame
#

i don't know in practice, but my 289 puzzlebox think sims higher, and on pure ST, guidon was like 0.3% better

graceful crown
#

btw 670 is not counting buffs, weapon oils and all that?

dry flame
graceful crown
#

guidon is in every burst windows so idk

#

the extra sectec buffed on shadowblades is cool

stuck arrow
graceful crown
#

it happens to me too idk

stuck arrow
#

My gear just scuffed hard to get all the way to 700 with my drops.

#

Might farm out m+ for some haste pieces, not sure.

#

Or do the opposite and then use haste flask.

graceful crown
#

yep

stuck arrow
#

But I don't want to use haste flask and be at line 850 haste lol

thorn sundial
#

is there a bis list somehwere?

#

or which neck is bis ?

shrewd lantern
#

or mythic lura

dry flame
stuck arrow
shrewd lantern
#

those are the two best necks at mythic just because they have extras on top of being a base neck

#

extra gem or free damage proc

graceful crown
#

oh it felt good with a little more lag tolerance

stuck arrow
#

Yeah 700 the sweet spot for a reason.

I'm just living on the edge lol

graceful crown
#

yeah i have 700

#

no 1 more or less

#

haha

lean sigil
#

noticed top players in m+ are doing a spec that is not fuus m+ version, most seem to take Finality and drop veiltouched?

#

sims worse for me, just want to educate why they switch

stuck arrow
#

Depends on your gear. Higher crit makes finality better.

undone ridge
#

or only 1

#

asking for m+

stuck arrow
#

Been using one personally. Haven't simmed in a minute.

Do whatever Dslice says is better for you.

undone ridge
#

bet

shrewd lantern
#

why would you drop finality

#

whats even there to take weaponmaster?

lean sigil
#

veil

radiant swift
#

is it for the non guidon players also tight fitting 2 sectecs into blades window with lust ?>

#

despite 700 haste

shrewd lantern
#

you can also drop tfd depending on dungeon

#

its probably all w/e

lilac stag
#

TFD is still strong just getting 2-3 resets

#

which is doable every dungeon

shrewd lantern
#

yeah

lilac stag
#

and it won’t sim well

shrewd lantern
#

people just feelycrafting tbh

#

the actual diff is probably minor

#

of the finality point

lilac stag
#

Nah it’s just the way dslice works

shrewd lantern
#

yeah no i wont ever drop tfd personally

lilac stag
#

better off dropping wm

shrewd lantern
#

you already do for keys no?

#

for pp

lilac stag
#

TFD biggest headache is not tracking it.

lilac stag
dry flame
#

So, with 289 puzzlebox, guidon is +0.5% better on pure ST and -2% on dungeon slice (for me)

lilac stag
#

Take droptimizer with a grain of salt. Welcome to haste breakpoints

weak vector
#

pretty torn on these. sim says bracers give 1.3% increase, but I feel like taking a myth track BIS ring is the move, no? It would put my haste down to 16% from 19% however, so I'd have to find a clever way to get back to 18%

shrewd lantern
#

its not bis considering it isnt a xenas ring

~~I have a version ready that works, just uploaded for review at Curseforge. It's a simple text counting down until the buff is ready, then goes away. Should be available here as soon as it's approved: https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/the-first-dance-tracker

Disclaimer: pure AI code. I am not a programmer.~~

Only works in open world/follower dungeons. The spell is absolutely and completely unavailable to track for some reason no one but Blizzard knows...

shrewd lantern

i simply just accept my dance is longer sometimes

#

no need to track

hm, I'll just go for the bracers then and upgrade to 276

shrewd lantern
#

bracers are mainstat which is nice

lilac stag
#

Well the ring is a crest saver

frail path
#

The countdown is one, and the actual buff the other

shrewd lantern
#

maybe mastery ring is better for keys

lilac stag
#

Rip

swift tinsel
#

also depends on how much haste you have

shrewd lantern
#

yah

weak vector
#

699 haste unbuffed

shrewd lantern
#

but its not like the xenas rings are badly statted

weak vector
#

id lose 150 from taking the ring

shrewd lantern
#

you lose some mastery for crit

lilac stag
#

Clearly socket angle

swift tinsel

lilac stag
#

a nice feral traded me heroic pants to replace my champ ones. Just need heroic gloves to save crests on my mythic gloves.

swift tinsel

I'm perma-blocked from getting gloves

lilac stag

Get the heroic vendor

i got warbound ones

I've been swimming in belts and bracers all season

i had to get hero ones to crest save my myth gloves

I just haven't sent myth crests on anything after crafting dagger day 1 lol

#

no 2nd/3rd crafts

#

and haven't been able to take myth vault yet

#

could have gotten myth gloves but hero guidon appeared and one didn't drop from raid

#

and we don't do mythic til next week

Guys you start the fight with Shadowstrike or Backstab?

fallow nimbus

Always strike from stealth

If we could we wouldn't backstab at all

cursive vapor
rare goblet
swift tinsel
#

Yep since you never Sectech outside dance

rare goblet
#

I mean if i got 5 Stacks Outside of Dance I use Backstube at Full points or just finisher

#

Stab*

swift tinsel
#

It would be quite rare to get five stacks outside dance but you only ever play around forcing a proc in dance

#

Unless you’re prepping for your next dance

tranquil sorrel
#

Should I min max Ancient Arts on AoE? And what does opener look like? Do I Shadowstrike then AA till 5 stacks before big dam or do I just pop big dam??

rare goblet
#

And One last question if im still in shadow Blades and Sec tech comes up last 2 seconds of blades I still dont use it Witzhout dance eight ?

swift tinsel
#

You should have dance for last part of blades

rare goblet
#

Kk ty

swift tinsel
#

With 4pc you can align with last part of blades instead of dancing back to back immediately

rare goblet
#

Ah so I just wait for Sec tech and then Go 2nd Dance got it

swift tinsel
#

You aren’t necessarily waiting for Sectech to be off cd

rare goblet
#

Just to Align I mean

hazy breach
#

use dance when blades has 9 seconds left

rare goblet
#

So that it fits in 2 nd shadow Dance Windows

Haven’t tried for fear of going into the abyss behind boss but can you shadowstep during Voracious fight during his Primordial Roar knockback to get right back into DPS?

If you’re worried

Would assume you don’t step into the abyss though haven’t checked

i had in my mythic imperator pug Guidon drop and a havoc DH yoinked it and left the raid

its not even good for them

for context, DH trinket tier list:

is gaze better than plume on all specs?
