I'm using small fist wep brass knuckle things with Mark of the Shadowmoon enchant to look like I have purple magic fists

#

Oh the voidglass sword?

#

that one's kinda sick

warm marlin
#

ye that's the one

swift tinsel
#

it has the broken/shattered blade look which is cool

lucid jackal
#

I do genuinely think rogue is good in March

shrewd lantern
#

i dont like non dagger animations for sub

#

though its not as bad as sword animations on sin

swift tinsel
#

I need to get to do more March, we've only done one normal clear while we wrap up voidspire

warm marlin
shrewd lantern
#

did hof close

#

or is this gonna be like lou clownfiesta

swift tinsel
#

for chim only afaik

warm marlin

It's great for pugging, too.

'Cos you can get 2 strong trinkets without lockout issues

#

Bro I'm srs

#

When rogue is "fine" atro is good

#

When rogue is complete dogshit ass like on last 2 voidspire, atro is bad

warm marlin
#

can only be applied to one boss in p3 lura

lucid jackal

Don't care

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 Light's Potential
/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.

When is the inevitable assa buff

#

into “assa better now” questions

swift tinsel

lol saw those with the most recent buffs

wdym? we got our 1% OMEGAKEKW

one rework and new roles please, we'll never get solved

"so we switch to assa now right?"

Oh yeah for sure

I feel like

That was in undermine

When ppl were very upset sin was getting buffed and not sub

from Oct of last year

It could've been at multiple points of TWW.

But the HP nerf is huge

#

What's considered a decent single Target dps for sub right now in a raid

toxic igloo
#

Hi all. I'm more of an Outlaw guy... but for aoe in m+, is it like spam shruiken form and then black powder?

lucid jackal
#

an entire reset + 3% buff + vantus + lol

warm marlin
#

yeah i just mean it's a little sad to see mechanic nerfs

#

like why does she not do memory game ccw now

#

was that genuinely a common wipe condition

#

our guild would probably wipe forever to that iteration of terminate though garf

lucid jackal
#

Its like

#

Idk if u remember queen but its like

#

an HP nerf just makes fights so easy

#

Cuz like

#

Ur gonna be dealing so much more damage

lucid jackal
#

and "scary overlaps" some of the end of fight, scary overlaps just dont happen

warm marlin
#

Ye hp nerf is big I just usually don’t like big mechanic nerfs

lucid jackal
#

Idrk if this fight specifically did have crazy overlaps at the end but

warm marlin
#

Unless they’re like egregious

#

that’s more what I meant

bro we are not healers who the fucks wants to provide a 3.6 dr

give me some offensive buffs

that i can proivde the raid

#

maybe dumb question, saw some POVs where the Keybind of Backstab just changes to Shadowstrike, is that a stealth bar thing or am i missing something? im using a macro atm to have both as one keybind but theres always a delay when shadow dance is running out

fading saffron
#

I just use a stealthbar

#

The only 2in1 macro I know of is the Powder/Coup macro

#

but, you can use:

#showtooltip Shadowstrike
/cast [bonusbar:1] Shadowstrike; Backstab

open moss
#

#

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target / Mythic+: Mastery >= `Haste(~18%, roughly 650-700)` > `Critical Strike` > Versatility

you mean the jellyfish?

does the BC sharpening stone affect sub like it does sin?

or is it better to just use oil MH still

Also works on sub

i forgot about bubbling wax, do you know if its still good

open moss
#

around 18 % Haste should be a breakpoints right .. i see alot of ppl go with like 12 or 15 % haste..

#

did i miss sth?

west tide
#

u want 20% bro

#

its over dude

open moss
#

what

swift tinsel
#

aim for 650-700

#

can get it with mana oil/flask/gems

#

can usually lean on flask if you just can't get haste gear to drop

open moss
#

iam rn on 602 haste without everything. I thought to craft boots with crit haste to hit

lilac stag
#

or just use a flask and oils

open moss
#

but then i dont know what to craft ^^

swift tinsel
#

I probs have to make bracers

#

could also do belt but I'd be a bit under haste

swift tinsel
#

for like a 1% gain

lilac stag
#

why is this so difficult to understand for soooooooo many

open moss
#

thought the 650-700 should be like just gearwise without flask etc

swift tinsel
#

by any means necessary

#

gear, oil, flask, gems

#

procs or on-use effects don't count towards that range

outer orchid
#

how many people are actually running deathstalker as opposed to trickster? seems like very few and it doesnt seem like enough of a dps increase to warrant the extra precautionary playstyle

lilac stag
#

No. You need a raw number between 684-700 from gear, weapon oils, gems, enchants and flask.

#

Nothing else matters

swift tinsel
#

I pretty much stopped simming gear and just look at my total haste and see if I can still hit the range by shifting gems/flask

#

with respect to ilvl if its close to the range

sonic depot
#

weird question but anyone know of an addon that lets you change the red overlay when youre out of range on the cdm? like instead of the whole icon going red add a dot instead like the actionbars

honest basin
#

surely that isn't real, is it?

vale pine
#

it is

#

the scaling on the stones was not adjusted

#

or well they can still be used

#

which is why some classes use them for a little extra damage

#

blizz basically set themselves up for shananigans like this with level and stat squishes

honest basin
#

thats fucking hilarious lmao

#

i was waiting for smth like that to happen

do i get punished by the rogue gods if i craft sth with crit/haste ?^^ If my math isnt wrong the craft should fit perfect with my gear

Nah that’s fine

#

If it puts you in the range you wanna be in

#

Can go crit or mastery/haste

is this weightstone just a sub thing or would it be the same for assassin

#

any reason my sim is saying haste/crit gems past 700 haste when raid buffed

hazy breach
#

Is it getting like 850 or so

candid pebble
#

am i high ? why people are using CN char ?

tulip viper
#

no, im at 724 (20%) with oils on

#

sim doesnt appear to count the oil

#

i get 32 haste from oil

#

724 without raid buffs, just gear and oil

#

700 is the reported breakpoint

#

32 haste from gems, and 32 from oil included in that

short radish
#

!haste

wicked joltBOT
#

Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.

do you guys use double Acuity of Ren'dorei on weapons?

I've seen some people do that

it tries its best and we mortals cannot understand its workings

pine viper

I didn't ask which is better I wanted public opinion

Sim is dogshit so i would rather hear what other people have simmed garf_sit

short radish
#

okay then yeah i use double acuity

#

hope this helps

torn tide
#

is it bad that i only get near 700 haste after pot?

#

just using flask of the blood knights everytime it runs out

short radish

im gonna use 1x acuity 1x arcane mastery though later though

short radish
#

it is what it is

#

because think of it this way

torn tide
#

cool

short radish
#

assuming you are at the same ilvl with your current gear

pine viper
short radish
#

all it really is, is just swapping your stats around

#

if you have the 150 haste or w/e it is from flask and 150 more mastery on gear

#

or you have 150 less mastery on gear and 150 more haste so you pop the mastery flask

#

your stats haven't changed

torn tide

oh whatt, never thought about it that way lol

thankyou

#

any reason to ever be over 700 haste as trickster, fully buffed?

#

Didnt really answer why SIM is saying gem for haste/crit when im over 700

pine viper
#

haste is mainly for getting more casts off during shadow dance

#

700+ gives you more breathing room

in case of fuckups

how often you just sit and auto for shadow techniques

just hit puzzle box

Psede confirmed puzzle box apologist

negative

thats like negligible compared to a whole 2 second CAST

50%. Very negligible. OMEGAKEKW

that's why I said basically, not literally

Play outlaw. No need for either trinket.

people complain

#

i do

shrewd lantern
#

about 1 lost shadowstrike

#

ermm backstab

sweet moss
#

is it normal to fit a second sectech in first shadow blades window duringlust without guidon

vestal relic
#

but the thing if you dont stop ad spam

swift tinsel
#

I see blizz is adding tuning for 12.0.5 still

vestal relic
#

it becomes alot worse than just one shadowstrike

swift tinsel
#

we shall see none of that

shrewd lantern
#

thank fuck raid trinkets are better

#

as they should

sweet moss
# jade oasis yes

okay nice, and without lust u just send 2nd dance during shadow blades without sectech

swift tinsel
#

idk I like when there's a raid and m+ trinket that are within a couple tenths of a percent of each other

sweet moss
#

no guidon^^

jade oasis
#

i dont know i lowkey got guidon before 4 set

swift tinsel
#

then I don't feel completely cucked if I don't get the raid one

sweet moss
#

how u know answer to other question hahaha

shrewd lantern
#

yeh but m+ is forced grinding

#

less m+ the better

swift tinsel
#

difference of opinion

jade oasis

I like having the option

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.

sweet moss

i’m on about no guidon

#

have you tried getting guidon?

does guidon stack with BL haste? not like i'm going to use it outside of blades window anyways but jw

that kick you from group after you use your port

just buff us chat

just give us back tww nimble flurry

nah feeling the need

to send your sectech

I miss the burst cleave niche a lot

shrewd lantern
#

as soon as its up

#

is awful

outer orchid
#

bring back DF sub with flagellation

short radish
#

yeah the lack of flexibility sucks donkey

swift tinsel
#

I liked having a job that isn't just "cloak this"

#

like powering through a NK platform or Araz add set

#

made me feel special

lilac stag
#

WHat do you need to flex in the raid?

lucid jackal
#

tuning and gameplay r diff things

swift tinsel
#

I honestly don't know what I would do to improve gameplay from a global-to-global perspective

#

I think part one would be adding maybe another, slight-cd builder

lilac stag
#

Line your shit up on whatever needs to die. Sblades being meh gives you some flexibility

swift tinsel
#

(that isn't goremaws)

short radish
#

also paladins returning back

swift tinsel
short radish
#

also amp damage phase on p1 alleria

shrewd lantern
outer orchid
#

i know m dreamrift is kind of a joke now but which group does sub prefer to be in? i would think 2nd for big pad?

short radish
#

idk it's a "we used to have it and i miss it"

lucid jackal
#

ROgue is like, okay ST, and a raid buff

#

thats abt it

swift tinsel
#

Tuning aside, how would you improve gameplay?

short radish
shrewd lantern
#

it feels bad to have forced movemnt

lilac stag
#

You’re playing assa on paladins, bench on crown.

shrewd lantern
#

and lose sectechs

#

over a fight

lucid jackal
#

I think current sub is fun

short radish
#

and part of the benching/not play can be attritubed to our lack of everything

lilac stag
#

That’s tuning, not 20 seconds CDs that people refuse to move on prog

lucid jackal
#

idt having rupture, or flag, or goremaws would enhance my fun

swift tinsel
#

agreed

short radish
#

flexibility is also nice to have in m+

lilac stag
#

you do?

swift tinsel
#

I would much rather have this iteration than one with rupture. sod, flag, goremaws

opal basalt
outer orchid
#

nymue sub was fun to me but maybe i'm just autistic

lilac stag
#

Hold Sblades for a full use. Send Sectech as often as possible, unless dance going to outlast pack.

#

literally 20 second cd spec. Use as often as you can when it mashes sense.

swift tinsel
#

idk I would personally like an additional builder or effect into Dance so its not just strike->evisc for every global that isn't sectech

#

I find that loop a bit droll

lucid jackal
#

Which I would agree, rogue should do more dmg

opal basalt
tidal solstice
#

i feel like coup de grace is precisely the fun factor i wanted

lilac stag
#

You rather sit on a 40 second dance for flexibility?

opal basalt
#

Like I want my niche of uber burst on sub back

#

And yes we still do burst

swift tinsel
#

I think mechanically I would re-add evisc and strike back into nimble

opal basalt
#

But it’s not the same as before

swift tinsel
#

def evisc, maybe on strike

#

and also

#

PLEASE

swift tinsel
#

bring Precise Cuts

#

into the fold again

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

so we aren't doodoobutt on low target cleave

#

like imagine Precise Cuts on nimble

#

holy

opal basalt
#

I played myth vorasius for the first time today and idk if I prefer sub or assa on it tbh. Feel like timings are cooler for a 90s spec

short radish
# lilac stag Bullshit

if i wanted to mongo bongo send everything off cooldown i'd play basically any other spec in the game

#

like my ret paladin

quaint lodge
#

and fimbul plays a good ret paladin

short radish
#

😎

swift tinsel
#

I've given both sin and outlaw a try in raid and in +10's and its rough

#

I can't really get behind either from a gameplay/fun perspective

opal basalt
#

I REAALLY enjoy sin rn in keys

short radish
#

there was a fun element of planning around sending omega burst by sandbagging auto attacking

#

lots of people probably didnt like that/ignored it

opal basalt
#

And when I tunnel boss too

fleet wharf
swift tinsel
#

idk maybe if I start doing 15's and up

#

but I really really don't like new CT in larger pulls

opal basalt
#

Nah even in my weeklies

quaint lodge
#

Sin is def one of those classes that feels worse in lower keys

short radish
#

but i enjoyed being afk on saladbar for 30 seconds before the amp

quaint lodge
#

I miss netherprism and demolishing packs solo though

#

That was cool

swift tinsel
#

I just really dislike bleed spread 2 at a time vs old IC

#

when CT costs what it does

lilac stag
opal basalt
#

Didn’t play assa before lol

#

But I guess I get your point

swift tinsel
#

new CT is nice on low target bc you get coverage in one or two casts

short radish
swift tinsel
#

once you're in like 8+ targets

#

and not just shitters

short radish
#

i have no choice

swift tinsel
#

it becomes really gated by energy

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

tl;dr rogue shit so was thinking of playing paladin

but then our group has no one that wants to heal

so its either i tank on paladin

ok, is it better to consume coup de grace with evisc or secret technique

or heal on paladin

well rogue is shit

so cant blame ya

and my mate made a monk

so you can only consume with evisc

or is this black aura on my sides not even what I think it is and im just big stupid

that's from your apex talent

Thx

pseudo fiber
#

guys, im abit confuse about SD usage inside SB window. do we use it back to back or only when ST is up?

lucid jackal
#

Use first with blades on start

#

use 2nd last 8 seconds of blades

pseudo fiber
#

but i wont get supercharged st then, no?

lucid jackal
#

thats fine

dusky yacht
#

That's okay in this case

pseudo fiber
#

hmmkay

lucid jackal
#

only within blades is it fine

#

Outside of blades u always wanna do dance + sectec

pseudo fiber
#

ty 🙂 ill try that

dusky yacht
pseudo fiber
#

btw, is it worth picking veiltouched > finality?

dusky yacht
#

You can just #showtooltip Secret Technique with the icon of Sectec, use " " (space) for the name and it will look just like sectec

indigo breach
pseudo fiber
#

in m+

#

i mean

dusky yacht
tribal blade
#

and applies to every dance

lucid jackal
#

It happens mostly during blades and such

#

But it can happen anywhere

indigo breach
#

Oh does ST not consume both?

lucid jackal
#

correct

pseudo fiber
#

does this apex rule also apply to aoe?

ahh fuck, so... what does this do actually? i kinda do not get it 😄 is it explained somewhere?

yy, thats the rotation

but what does the ancient arts do? just refill cp?

Read it in your talent tree

you spawn a clone that repeats the attack

ayeeeeee, i can even deal more damage

#

ouchy

tribal blade
#

sub does big finisher dmg

pseudo fiber
#

in hardstuck at 150k per dungeon

#

sucks

tribal blade
#

therefore apexing finisher is better than builder

lucid jackal
#

Its like a 1% optimization

#

Might be more in aoe but

tribal blade
#

yeah not too big

pseudo fiber
#

oh dang

tribal blade
#

since you're overcapping CP

dusky yacht
tribal blade
#

but it's good to do in aoe for more prio anyways

pseudo fiber
#

yeag

#

is that fine for sub?

#

or should i do more?

dusky yacht
#

Bruh and you were doing that without knowing the proper rotation?

#

I call bs

pseudo fiber
#

i mean i do everything correct, despite the 1% optimization. like, i tried both the sd usage u told me and only for st

#

wait a sec, lemme look if i find the MC 16 run

#

shiet details deleted it

#

i had 149k in the end, but full melee comp

#

monk, warr, feral

#

and sham

tribal blade
#

150k is good, but i'm not pushing atm so i have no idea what the standard is right now

pseudo fiber
#

devourers finish with 180k

#

but they seem to be busted af

tribal blade
#

yeah that sounds about right

#

i've seen 170-180k from some specs in screenshots

pseudo fiber
#

im just wondering if the apex optimization is doing the trick, but if u say its 1%

#

then i.g. not

dusky yacht
#

What trinkets are you using

pseudo fiber
#

dont hate me mate...

pseudo fiber
dusky yacht
#

Ah that explains it

lilac stag
#

apex is bigger gain for priority than st

dusky yacht
#

Yeah 150k you're doing fine tbh

#

The problem lies in class tuning

#

Dev DH is broken

pseudo fiber

yep, as i thought

I saw a vid on yt just earlier "you may think dev dh is a useless spec" and I almost spat out my water

😄

people see dps in a 10

btw lads, as a good hint for MT if u should push. remove virulent poisons and put it into wound poison for voidcallers ❤️

switching poisons after 2nd boss is THE deal for them

and forget about it

pseudo fiber

ehehe

#

tru

#

last question for today: do we sim nightly or latest?

pseudo fiber
#

sim bait inc

dusky yacht
#

Then the sim goes I think this is a clean dps increase for you wink

lilac stag
dusky yacht
#

But this is trickster m+ build on wowhead

#

Is it not optimal anymore?

lilac stag
#

Builds are suggestions

#

Finality is good

dusky yacht
#

It says best

lilac stag
#

In a dslice sim maybe?

#

I’m sure there’s an asterisk on the page or suggestions of swapping talents out

#

If you just want to copy paste go for it

dusky yacht
#

This is for the sub raid build

#

I guess it can carry over to m+ in some sense

#

So Finality by this logic outperforms TFD in longer fights (higher keys)?

#

I should consider swapping that then

#

hmm

#

I mean I do like first dance but it does feel a bit weird with guidon

lucid jackal
#

TFD is a lot of value on trash so

#

Its just a value judgement u have to make

short radish
#

i play tfd because i enjoy being in dance more

lilac stag
#

Tank pulls, dungeon layout/rp, etc all impact things. Most of the talents choices are extremely minimal. You’ll lose more dps by holding CDs too long than you ever will swapping TFD for finality or finality for TFD.

tidal solstice
#

havent been using it for a while and havent missed it at all. i only swap pp to wm for st.

dusky yacht
#

Pretty sure my dps is pretty good for the gear I got in m+, altho I should probably use puzzle instead of guidon, but I hate that trinket so much

pseudo fiber
lilac stag
#

nothing is going to take you from 150k to 180k. all our talents are very minimal.

short radish
#

incorrect. elusiveness takes me to 150k because i forget i have cheat death then i die to a feetal

lilac stag
#

It takes you to 125k

short radish
brisk onyx

#

I switched TFD to finality cause fights are lasting longer now anyways

#

And I got puzzle out of my bank unfortunately

Gonna try using it in m+

!guidon

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

primal ruin

is there any way (now that weakaura's are gone) to have an audio queue play when i reach max combo points?

Let me drag this single mob at 15% Health into the next pack

I've even had a mob walk up to me while I'm in stealth and hit me in the face with a melee

Or I have tricks up and I SS on a mob and it hits me before going on tank

#

Like excuse me

well the second one is normal

you're getting proximity aggro before tricks kicks in

#

just delete this dog shit class already blizzard

dusky yacht
#

Is the dungeon slice sim like actually good for simming puzzle box vs guidon you guys think? I'm trying to find a way to tell myself puzzle isn't just better in m+

mental saffron
#

Do we know if bonus rolls in 12.0.5 will account for items you have already looted from the Boss/dungeon

#

Items that you have looted outside of the bonus rolls*

dusky yacht
#

I have no idea but that would be kinda crazy no

mental saffron
#

Kind of counterintuitive to not work that way but

#

As they already have a knock out system implemented

dusky yacht
mental saffron
#

Idk why you would sell a mythic track item, but blizzard has a track record of what you have looted.

mental saffron
#

No

dusky yacht
#

I might have sold something as assas that I now want on sub

mental saffron
#

Why would you bonus roll for a hc item anyway

dusky yacht
#

I wouldn't mind bonus rolling for omission so I'm done having to farm xenas all day every day

mental saffron
#

M+ 10 bonus rolls gives myth track equal to vault

dusky yacht
#

Wow what so if I bonus roll m+ xenas I might get myth omission?

mental saffron
#

I wish you luck rolling on that loot pool

dusky yacht
short radish
#

the way the bonus rolls work is that you will eventually get it

dusky yacht
#

I'm gonna get baited into trying that so hard

mental saffron
#

If the knockout system works with current aquiered items ill snatch myself a Mythic Gaze first weekpeepoSTRONG

dusky yacht
#

Wait shit yeah I got champ gaze but we've done mythic this week

#

So I kill the boss and I can just bonus roll for gaze?

tribal blade
#

lol most of the highest IO sub rogues are specced into sin on rio right now

#

@lilac stag about that time

i know it's my fault for going on reddit but holy shit, mage going "rogue utility is super underrated" really gets my gears grinding

we're so back boys we got AoE dmg

our amazing utility of aoe damage

that no other class has

dusky yacht

We'll leave those dev dhs in the dust baby

Hu ha whoah

tribal blade

we don't even have the best aoe

#

also blizz will see mage is not in the current meta

and buff them

goes without saying

short radish

as is tradition

tribal blade
#

the meta right now doesn't mean anything

well buffs I mean consumables

then you just sim the ST xD

dusky yacht

No need I've maximum coped already

Rubix cube back in the bank

#

Made my trinkets great again

dusky yacht
dry flame
#

Surely a bug tho, there's no way

dusky yacht
#

I'm gonna be real I think the sims are hallucinating from time to time or something

#

My DPS estimate from dungeon slice also doesn't really make sense

#

I did 146k overall last m+ I did

dry flame
#

I've been eye-balling Sub this whole tier

dry flame
#

but yeah, been eyeballing sub this tier

dusky yacht
#

Yeah of course but like it's always about 130k-145kish overall so like at least 22ish minutes of a whole ass dungeon

#

And then I sim 6 min dslice and it's 109k

#

I don't think random party buffs are gonna give me 21k dps

#

But maybe I'm just bad at math idk

brisk onyx
dusky yacht
#

I found a ring that's a bigger upgrade for me than hero omission

#

Quick pug in and out before reset what do you guys think

dry flame
#

And this is a +16 MT

#

its has so many factors for M+, how tank pulls, mechanics etc.

dusky yacht
#

wtf assa is that much better now

#

Right yeah good point there tho

dry flame
#

prio dmg is just really good

dusky yacht
#

Eh I just didn't like assa, cooldowns are so long, at least on sub I feel alive

dry flame
#

Also helps that i've reached 40% crit with the M+ setup (40% crit with oils/flask)

supple barn
#

I just got 13s resilient and tried assa it’s pretty fun but I need new gear 🙁

dry flame
#

But for sub, sims are totally out of wack for me

dusky yacht
#

Yeah my itemisation would make it kinda loco for me to go back to assas

#

And I'm mainly into raiding I guess

#

Also I hate puzzle too much

dry flame
#

And this is my eye-balled Sub with flask/oils

dusky yacht
#

But on assa it's just too good

dry flame
#

i also have 289 puzzlebox, so im probably using that on sub too if i play it xD

supple barn
#

Ya I hate puzzle too

dusky yacht
#

My puzzle is only champ and so is my guidon/gaze so yeah

#

They're actually my lowest ilvl items lol

dry flame
#

no luck in the weekly?

#

Cuz i got Myth Guidon in vault, and then weekly quest gave me HC Guidon STARE

dusky yacht
#

Weekly hasn't given me much of anything good

#

I got myth helm (that I catalysted) and myth occlusion (my curse) from my vaults

#

And prolly like hero gloves before that I can't remember

#

I need omission so bad like it's actually ridiculous, because I'm also not at haste breakpoint

dry flame
#

i feel like i just kept 90% of the drops i got

#

and could eventually balance out and shuffle items

dry flame
dusky yacht
#

Ignore the boots the sim is just telling me to get more haste basically

dry flame
#

i don't trust anything for sub anymore

dry flame
dusky yacht
#

I've also been running PoS for the belt but also no luck there

supple barn
dusky yacht
#

I'm thinking of crafting 285 haste/mastery belt on reset

supple barn
#

I think I do a ring

dusky yacht
#

I don't wanna craft ring because it's so cringe to have myth occlusion and then crafted ring

dry flame
#

also target farm - i farmed Nexus/MT/AA for a while to get all the rings

#

for context, i have 3 crafts

  • Dagger (haste/mastery)
  • Boots (crit/haste)
  • Neck (crit/haste)
#

but i did that because i wana use them in all 3 specs

#

so if you're really missing some stats and you wanna swap specs for certain stuff, maybe recraft some if it won't brick your characters

dusky yacht
#

offhand since I got hungering victory mythic mainhand

#

I had already crafted the bracers cause I was assas a few weeks back

dry flame
#

the most worth recraft is probably neck

#

since getting 147 crit is giga

dusky yacht
#

Oh I'm the other guy

#

Lmao

dry flame
#

i know, but i mean if you wanna swap to assa at some point

#

especially if u get to Paladins with your guild and you're not benched

dusky yacht
#

Yeah ofc

#

I mean I'm prolly not gonna get benched I'm pretty high up on our dps meters every time

#

Think I'm doing pretty good

#

But I need haste so bad man it's so ridiculous

#

without oils

dry flame
#

I knew i'd be playing all 3 specs, so i did general crafts (crit/haste), which WAS a disadvantage for the first weeks, but now i've accumiliated enough gear

dry flame
#

how do you even get to that point haha

dusky yacht
#

Bro I am telling you this myth occlusion thing screwed me

dry flame
#

better continue the Nexus farm my guy

#

if you're on EU, i can trade rings, if you wanna get into some +10s to blast 'em

dusky yacht
#

Please kill me

#

The rest of the runs except PoS is literally my guildies/friends begging me to do anything else

#

I've done runs where EVERYONE in the party was PREPARED AND WILLING to trade me the ring on drop

dusky yacht
#

At this point I feel like they're as desperate as I am for it to drop

dusky yacht
dry flame
#

I have great luck FOR OTHERS and terrible for myself

#

you on EU?

dusky yacht
#

I am yeah

#

But I should prolly sleep soon I've been telling myself to go sleep since 3:30 am

#

And was farming m+ all day

You know how it says this reset right
