which made you afk out the bg

#

Wait for the aug-like Alchemist support spec

outer orchid
#

when i was playing mage this season i started doing portals to old silvermoon

keen dome
#

Hahaha

shrewd lantern
#

you can only get horde players with that

#

main drawback

outer orchid
#

yeah true

keen dome
#

Hopefully dalaran is back in the last titan

#

So we can have some tried and true crater gaming

outer orchid
#

dalaran could use a break from cataclysmic events

shrewd lantern
#

where is it now

keen dome
#

over there

shrewd lantern
#

didnt it get shot out the sky

keen dome
#

and there

#

and here

shrewd lantern
#

start of tww

keen dome
#

And in the sea.

#

It's kinda exploded.

#

Also a good portion of it was in the Dimensius fight

#

I imagine they're gonna do a NEW Dalaran at some point

#

And hopefully it's tied to an in-game event and players help build it

shrewd lantern
#

i remember i was like

#

dalaran a 3rd time really

#

then

#

oh....

keen dome
#

haha

outer orchid
#

what if
we went back to grizzly hills
i need my good vibe soundtrack back

keen dome
#

I'm a Dalaran stan. I love it.

#

But Silvermoon is extremely fucking good as a hub city and the redeisng is chefs kiss

#

Super excited to see them do this to stormwind / orgrimmar.

shrewd lantern
#

no we need another troll raid

#

wow default punching bag

keen dome
#

I would also welcome proper amani trolls.

#

they're cool as hell

shrewd lantern
#

why are the female ones

#

reskinned fem orc

keen dome
#

Buff lady

shrewd lantern
#

ngl i still dont get

#

why we were on good terms with zandalari in bfa

#

after beating them up

keen dome
#

Back in MoP?

shrewd lantern
#

yes

keen dome
#

If I recall, it was an unsanctioned poaching thing rather than the actual Empire?

#

Or something handwaved as "yeah we don't like those guys either"

shrewd lantern
#

i guess

#

didnt we also just kill off their elders

keen dome
#

Ah, that was it

#

They were Zul's followers

shrewd lantern
#

in the council fight

outer orchid
#

give me gurubashi

shrewd lantern
#

of the 4 tribes

keen dome
#

They were all Zul's followers

#

think no more of it.

#

But yes we did lmao

#

Battle of Dazar'lor did not have a lot of thuoght going into it long-term...

#

The alliance also killed their king and we've just swept that under the rug

shrewd lantern
#

lmao

#

bob salami gimme your power

#

also yk rezan just

keen dome
#

the alliance did some serious warcrimes in Dazar'lor lmao

shrewd lantern
#

being foddered

#

first patch

keen dome
#

At least we didn't cause Rezan

#

that was also Zul

shrewd lantern
#

i mean ngl

#

loa just seem

#

weak as balls

#

overall

#

besides bob salami

keen dome
#

They're wild gods, they don't seem to give a big fuck since they exist regardless of worship or care.

#

And I assume with that comes massively variable power since they're 'natural' parts of the.. ecosystem?

#

I love the Capy loa though

#

he's my friend

#

also Dundun is my friend too

shrewd lantern
#

i guess

#

most loa seem foddered

keen dome
#

Yeah, they all seem very minor in their power

shrewd lantern
#

bwom iirc his lore is he used to be muzalas priest

keen dome
#

Yep

#

Bwom is probably the most powerful since he's the loa of death, but he also seems to gain his pwoer through deals rather than direct fighting.

shrewd lantern
#

idk always thought rezan seemed weak asf

outer orchid
shrewd lantern
#

for "loa of kings"

keen dome
keen dome
#

Darin de Paul owns

#

And he's doing the Calus tone and voice for Dundun and it's really funny

shrewd lantern
#

also how bwomsandi just ignored

#

his contractor being killed off

outer orchid
#

the leviathan was and still is one of my favorite destiny raids ever

keen dome
#

Yeah it owned

#

Such a fun boss fight at the end with calus

outer orchid
#

good memories there

#

using the underbelly to traverse

keen dome
#

I only got to do it once, and I was lead by far better players

#

But it was very fun

shrewd lantern
#

arent loa the entire reasoning behind troll druids

outer orchid
#

i had that place memorized

shrewd lantern
#

and paladins ig

keen dome
#

Not paladins though

#

I think they're like Sunwalkers, they draw their power from something else

#

But Loa are basically just wild gods iirc

#

So the same basic area as Cenarius et al

shrewd lantern
#

sunwalkers was the biggest asspull

#

ever

keen dome
#

I wonder if there is a lore dif between like, Ursoc and a Loa

#

Because surely they fulfill the same basic concept

#

And are from the same race root belief

shrewd lantern
#

i still feel tauren paladin came out to appease horde pally wanters

#

that hate elves

keen dome
#

Sunwalkers are cool imo

#

When Nelf paladins

shrewd lantern
#

idk we got nelf mage

#

despite nelf society allegedly banned them

keen dome
#

Look you destroy the empire this one time

shrewd lantern
#

also let in a cross world demon army

Hi rogues 😁 I've seen good players use SD+shadowstrike quite often during a boss fight, when we're supposed to enter SD with a finisher as Trickster. I'm wondering, is it a good way to fill cp when vanish is on CD and no stacks of cp are available ? I don't see any other explanation. Please someone help me with that sub

weary tree
near yoke
#

that's what I thought. But top parses say otherwise 🧐

near yoke
#

like within 10 dances, 2 are entered at 0 cp

sudden quarry
#

Any tips for Lura progress from someone who is a few days into this boss already?

tribal blade
near yoke
#

Murtagh - blackrock >> on salhadar he does a lot of that

tribal blade
#

and then they reach dance on low CP

#

so jsut slam dance+strike

fallow glade
#

salhadaar parses being high means he got to hit a lot of orbs garf_sit

near yoke
#

mybad he does it once but I've seen other rogues do it more

fallow glade
#

doesn't mean he played perfectly

weary tree
#

There might be some scenario's like when you're gonna cap on dance charges

weary tree
#

But that's fight dependant

near yoke
hazy breach
#

You shouldnt really be in a spot where youre gonna cap on dance charges ever

weary tree
#

esp on saladbar your 2nd set of cds are slightly offset so you either cap on charges or do something about it

near yoke
#

like you always want at least one SD on CD right ? not have 2 charges

#

i see

weary tree
#

yep

near yoke
#

thanks for enlightment

#

I binded a danse+strike just in case I need it but I won't try to use it

weary tree
#

Keep in mind that that macro won't work and you will have to press the button twice anyways due to the sligh delay from dance

#

That's why on deathstalker you go dance + storm instead of dance + strike

near yoke
#

I see rogues use that on singletarget I was like "wtf is he doing" LMAO

#

thanks again !

#

will ds still pull ahead ST after the cloud cover changes? or is it just perma trickster in .5 patch

alpine wraith
#

ds is ahead on st

hazy breach
#

Roughly the same as before when DS was ahead by like 1% is what it looks like right now

alpine wraith
#

not by much then

if some one have time to loock I really appreciate it 🫶

#

Ok so turns out cloud cover is way better than expected and my deathstalker pin was probably just a bait

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

lucid jackal
#

we are officially back boys

obsidian crag
#

does sec tec has cooldown reduction by finishers?

hazy breach
#

Not anymore no

#

Was like that before midnight

#

Now its just reduced by haste

obsidian crag
#

so my sec tec CD is 18s, can I manage to fit 3 sec tec casts into a singl shadow blades?

hazy breach
#

If you have 150% haste ye

obsidian crag
#

ok, so focus is 2 sec tecs inside the SB window

#

i said 3, but its 2

shy ermine
#

so this cloud cover means we can't move after pressing blades

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

but hey we have 1 week of DS krangle for the people that like it

#

time to change title of the video

shy ermine
#

i wasn't going to play ds this week until we got the ability to change mark target

#

but i did take a haste belt yesterday that it turns out i might not need 😄

#

will have to see how much the movement restriction ends up mattering

alpine wraith
#

it does not matter much

#

as it stays for 10 secs even if they leave

hazy breach
#

It does matter quite a bit actually

shy ermine
#

i guess we can dip in and out if needed, but full movement across the room won't work

hazy breach
#

Its really really bad if you have to move out and end up losing it before your second sectech

tribal blade
#

that's the thing i'm most worried about with cloud cover

#

would be far better if it was a cloud that was on your character

thin sinew
#

What did i miss 😮

shy ermine
#

i don't think a smoke bomb locked on your character makes much sense

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

well that's the same thing with DS

thin sinew
#

Oh i checked faq but not pins typical

tribal blade
#

mark being on your character wouldn't make sense, but it would make the playstyle infinitely better

#

not a fan of things being jank because of theme or other stuff

shy ermine
#

yeah but it making no thematic sense is why they won't do it

#

would need a full redesign

tribal blade
#

nah

#

nobody truly cares

#

at the end of the day

shy ermine
#

maybe nobody in this discord cares but we are the minority

tribal blade
#

how it plays is the most important thing

shy ermine
#

most people play the game for vibes

#

marking a target for death is cool

#

running around as a cloud is not so cool

tribal blade
#

why not

shy ermine
#

but bombing the ground feeds into the class fantasy

tribal blade
#

you are the cloud

karmic harbor
#

Bro said 1100 haste

#

🥴

shy ermine
#

i haven't got to l'ura yet but there's a lot of movement in p1 with the beams

#

if it delays a usage we might still be better off with 1100 haste ds

hazy breach
#

Not only do you miss the damage on sectech, the 3 stack resets down to 1 guaranteed

pallid jackal
#

Is it better to get a crafted item now or wait for possible upgrades upcoming week? Didn't get good vault item and first raid this lockout is tonight

#

I've got both crafted items from bis list

keen dome
#

Wait until after your raid, maybe? But crafting to fill a weak slot isn't bad.

#

But it is worth considering the slot, and what could potentially go there.

raw frost
#

guys

#

do you use Sectec only with shadow dance ?

hazy breach
#

Yes

raw frost
#

so if you dont have it you are keeping it without acsting

#

i mena if you dont have shadow dance

hazy breach
#

You shouldnt really be casting shadow dance without sectech

keen dome
#

damn, a 17

#

okay thanks for response

lucid jackal
#

Crafting is op

#

If Ur out of gear to spend crests on

#

A craft is almost always a good idea

barren ember
#

So I had the feeling that the thing about haste is more about getting a 2nd Secret Technique into Shadowblades; And I felt quite confident now seeing it on Discord etc. :p There are still two things that I wonder about, but maybe I should ask in the Sim Discord.

  1. You could just get enough Haste for Secret Technique being rdy again at the end of Shadowblades; So 6-7 Seconds before Blades end you cast Shadow Dance and use SecTec as the last (non-supercharged) finisher in Blades.
  2. You can get enough Haste for the first Shadow Dance to last long enough, so you only wait 1-2 seconds during Blades before Casting the 2nd Dance, and then you use SecTec as the 2nd Supercharged Finisher
  3. You can go with Option one, but hold the 2nd Shadow Dance until the 2nd SecTeq would be supercharged, but that would mean a lot less Shadow Dance Uptime during Blades
#

Has anyone Information / opinion on that? Supercharged 2ndSecTeq vs Non-Charged 2nd SecTeq vs. Shadow Dance uptime in blades?

pallid jackal
#

I'm comparing with droptimisers and +600 ain't even that bad

tribal blade
#

not going for title

#

so it's just gonna be vibe keying

idk Whats equivalent to priory but prophet is gonna be talking in a month About 1 key for sure

#

my guess is mc!

wicked joltBOT
#

Trickster Shadow Blades Optimization:
During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back. This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.

barren ember
#

wow sorry i was scrolling and checking all the pins but didnt see

#

Yea nice, that was my feeling as well

We need more dungeons like pit

4000mobs every pack absolute astroblast

fossil forge
#

Freehold

barren ember
#

Ehm, and how is it about Apex-Talent Charging the Supercharged finishers?
Is the information still correct you only force it during bloodlust?
I feel like on coupe de grace if could still be worth it outside of lust

keen dome
#

Not during Lust, just for the second anima-charged combie

#

!aa

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).
keen dome
#

Here's the checklist for when to force it to proc

barren ember
#

So pretty much always Apex Talent on Super Charged Finishers, EXCEPT when the finisher is Sec Teq?

keen dome
#

With 5 or more stacks of SHT, yep

barren ember
#

Or okay, IF you can force the apex in one strike cast, i guess

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

So you stab dance sectec strike strike evis/coup.

barren ember
#

aye

#

nice

#

ty

fossil forge
#

What If i dance and i get apex

#

Stech up evis up

#

TECH the evis send tech second ?

#

I dont rly think bout it but is it a loss

keen dome
#

I have no idea, I don't think about it either

fossil forge
#

Im just sending out stech on cd permadance go brrr

barren ember
#

Good question, I'm a bit torn on that as well :p You keep it off cooldown for longer if you use SecTeq as 2nd Supercharged, and use Eviscarate first cos apex is up

barren ember
#

But other than that Sec Teq doesnt care about being 2nd or first supercharged point

tribal blade
#

and hilarious

barren ember
#

I wanted to check it out today, but I think you dont lose out on the combopoints, and if u just send sec tec first the ShadowTechnique Stacks will still be there and instant proc Apex on the 2nd finisher

tribal blade
#

oh i just realized

#

half of those dungeons are turbo cancer

keen dome
#

no, no, you can't change your mind now

tribal blade
#

actually HOI with the last changes is ok

#

but HOV can die in a fire

#

actually this looks neat, i'm down for it

#

tune in next to see if i yo-yo one more time

lilac stag
barren ember
lilac stag
#

You ignored it and Sectech

barren ember
#

You delay your next SecTeq for one global, but you dont let apex "go to waste"

lilac stag
#

Then strike to get it back

keen dome
#

I guess that's a good point about why you'd sectec first regardless, 'cos it'll fuck the cd coming back up consistently otherwise

lilac stag
#

the haste breaks are meant to keep stuff aligned.

lean sigil
#

Is it a major dps loss to delay a sec tech by lets say 2 seconds? I try to just chill is its comming it lets say i have 5 cp, sec/dance will be up in 5 sec. We should just pool right?

lilac stag
#

You would build to 6+

lean sigil
#

Ment full cp

lilac stag
#

and send if dance and Sectech are ready

#

You wrote 5. So you get the answer to what was asked.

alpine wraith
lean sigil
#

But lets say you are full cp, 5 sec left on tech/dance

short radish
#

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

alpine wraith
#

you watch something while those 5 seconds pass

short radish
#

WHY THE FUCK

#

WONT THIS STUPID

#

DOG

#

SHIT

#

TRINKET

#

DROP

#

HOLY SHIT

alpine wraith
#

yea we have had 0 drops too

#

very unlucky

short radish
#

PLEASE MAN I JUST WANT TO STOP RAIDING HEROIC ON THIS ROGUE

alpine wraith
#

because 2 dks+ me need it

tribal blade
raw mantle
#

Yeah we’ve had 1x normal 1x myth drop

#

Crazy

tribal blade
#

i'm with you dude

alpine wraith
#

just coin it on mythic

#

and hit it natty

lilac stag
#

R
I
P

alpine wraith
#

next week

lean sigil
short radish
#

im gonna get it week 3 of mythic

thin sinew
#

We had 2 gazes drop last night!
Both warbound to people who don’t play alts and play casters

raw mantle
#

Also 0 myth daggers over 4 kills now

alpine wraith
#

if you have 11 sht and 5 secs left

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

you can finish and stab again

#

if you have like 2 sht and energy is below 60

#

you sit

#

because you would need to stab 3 times in those 5 secs after finisher

#

and then you wont have enough energy for sec tech

#

and losing 1 or 2 secs every time you would sec tech

#

may lose casts

short radish
#

holy shit

lean sigil
#

Ill just keep doing it like i do then, just wanted to check if its dumb to pool that long

keen dome
lean sigil
lilac stag
vale pine
#

basically, you stop using finishers shortly before secret comes off cd

#

like 3 sec or so

#

by doing so, you avoid delaying the dance/secret cast

keen dome
#

I should really start doing that

vale pine
#

and also generate some stacks of sht

lean sigil
#

Hachadino have a nice answer

hearty steeple
#

guys what 3rd item would be good to craft ? and if i got like the pvp neck and ring, should i be in hurry to craft them ?

#

craft ring and neck slot*?

lilac stag
#

do you have mythic items to spend crests on?

vale pine
#

anything you need

#

there isn't rly a rule of 3rd craft

hearty steeple
#

iam 275, and crafted 1 dagger and 1 waist, and got like 100 m crests

keen dome
#

Your lowest slot or most benefical slot once you've exhausted all other Myth loot chances for the week.

hearty steeple
keen dome
#

You could probably do wrists

vale pine
#

crafting after 2nd is optional, and if you don't have mythic gear pieces, crafting the worse slot for you might be ideal

hearty steeple
#

what if i have a shitty off hand ? like 263 stuck with it till now

vale pine
#

i would not craft neck

lilac stag
#

Cloak is a good option

vale pine
#

there is the special effetc neck

keen dome
lilac stag
barren ember
vale pine
#

offhand slot is one of the worse

keen dome
#

Cloak, bracers, rings, neck, belt, legs

vale pine
#

so upgrading it is not super good/relevant

keen dome
#

Do you raid Mythic and have you raided this week?

hearty steeple
#

nah i dont raid

keen dome
#

Slam that craft

#

The way I look at it is I want to exhaust all potential Mythic item chances in the week after Vault. If I get nothing new, and had nothing from vault, and still have 80 crests and 2 sparks? It's craft time.

keen dome
#

Yeee

dim lagoon
#

Simming 2 agi enchs on both daggers is worth? It sims the highest for me

jade oasis
#

we’ve actually not seen a single ring drop from paladins

keen dome
#

Awful

jade oasis
#

just actually non sense drops on that boss over and over

hearty steeple
barren ember
#

You uptime on enchants does not change, but the value

dim lagoon
#

So i guess its worth

barren ember
#

So you get double primary stat; but will it be up when you do damage?

dim lagoon
#

Yea rng

barren ember
#

At the end its more or less the same tho with off hand mastery

keen dome
#

just proc coup_de_grace

barren ember
#

I mean, it is not entirely RNG, it has a set rhytm, you can go to your logs

#

And check for the buff uptime

#

But will you really play around that or even delay stuff? If you lose overall cast amount for it, its likely not worth it

keen dome
#

Yeah it's just extra dam maybe

#

Having it is more by virture of.. having it

dim lagoon
#

So 2 different enchants sounds better tbh

#

Cuz u get more chance for getting it

barren ember
dim lagoon
#

Ty m8

vale pine
#

the diffrence is small

#

2x agi enchant is within low %

#

of agi + mastery

keen dome
#

I just run 2x agi 'cos agi can't hit DR

vale pine
#

(tho mastery is cheaper, haha)

vale pine
barren ember
#

How much bait were the Sims for Berserkers Rage?

keen dome
#

I only realized that this second btw, I ran 2x agi 'cos I was lazy.

barren ember
#

Cos it simmed excellent for me, but Id bet it assumed that it always procs during shadow blades

#

I guess an argument could be that no matter what is with shadow blades; Berserkers Rage Enchant will ALWAYS lead to more Sec Teq casts, while the Mastery Buff during downtime goes to waste

lilac stag
keen dome
tribal blade
keen dome
#

My routine is vault -> pug rekills. If I get something good in vault? Sending it to cap. Then in rekills it's like, do I win helm or cloak or guidon or gaze or chest? sending it to cap. nothing? well, probably a craft week

tribal blade
#

wouldn't overthink it

keen dome
#

Because you always want to be upgrading something each week, and with crafting you can realistically achieve that

lilac stag
barren ember
# tribal blade wouldn't overthink it

but it would shorten the Sec Teq cooldown. Say u sit on a shadow dance charge and wait for sec teq, BOOM u get haste proc and can cast it few seconds earlier

#

so it will always shorten downtime, while mastery buff can truly go to waste? but maybe i am indeed overthinking it 😄

lilac stag
#

you’re not sitting on charges. They naturally line up with breakpoints from gear.

#

variable ppm just fuck that up

grizzled hornet
#

please rewind sub to no haste so this madness can stop

tribal blade
barren ember
#

It would be more obnoxious to play for sure, but it would not fuck your Cooldown windows

lilac stag
#

why are you wanting Sectech up 2 seconds earlier when you can’t send it because of dance and later screwing up the timing for the blades window?

tribal blade
#

would just be better to put your mind to things you can control vs things you can't 😉

lilac stag
#

even if mastery procs outside of dance, you’re more than likely to still have time with it up during dance.

tribal blade
#

interesting 1 acuity 1 mastery is neutral to x2 acuity for me in ST, but a 0.3% gain in dslice

#

might put mast on my OH

barren ember
#

The dslice sim just values mastery a loooooot

#

Guess its just your call if you wanna have more ST or AoE

tribal blade
#

any aoe sub will value mast a lot yeah

lilac stag
#

Because it’s cracked with PP

tribal blade
#

yeah x2 mast is +0.4%

#

but the diff is so small

tribal blade
barren ember
tribal blade
#

i'll sim in x3 patchwerk for paladins

#

they reworked it in df 2 times

barren ember
#

I mean, we arrived at the state of Mists of Pandaria now

lilac stag
vale pine
#

would be bad if assassiantion needs another rework

barren ember
#

Soon they will have the idea of attaching it to the player

tribal blade
lilac stag
dreamy badger
#

Where it belongs

tribal blade
#

i'm betting it wants crit

#

1 acuity 1 crit is neutral to 2 acuity on 3 target sim

#

probably because i'm talented into scent

#

so more mainstat very good

#

i'm guessing with a ST sim 1 crit will be slightly better

tribal blade
fossil forge
#

Its certain keys at start

because it's prio is cracked

Then its every key

lilac stag

#

thing is sub is such a vibe in keys

i swapped to sin as soon as it got buffed

i'm pretty sure most people title pushing swapped to sin

My only logged runs are carrying alts and I forgot to stop logging by accident, but it does well with mains too

there will be a day

im playing unh dk and press one button to APPLY AND SPREAD dots to everyone ffs

Hello, got a quick question in the sims, im playing ST Deasthstalker, I get I need 1100 haste breakpoint, but sims want me to get rid of haste and going versa/mast, am I doing something wrong ?

#

in droptimizer

vagrant sinew
#

droptimizer only compares 1 item at a time, haste items will be bad unless they actually get you over the breakpoint

low arch
#

so I should aim to get the haste breakpoint without sims, then optimize secondaries with dropti ?

hazy breach

Top gear it

Alright thanks for the input, i'll make myself better now 😄

tribal blade
terse dirge
#

If a pack is dying in m+ and you guys are trying to save some dance charges for the next pull does it make sense to stop using finishers and just backstab to try and pool shadow tech stacks for next pull to burst harder or is that just an overall damage loss u think?

Trickster Shadow Blades Optimization:
During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back. This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.

But then it just means; If you have to ask if a spec is able to achieve Title-Level Keys, the thing holding your back is likely your skill & team, and not the spec

i said people have been jumping on the sin train from watching him play keys

#

calm your tits

wintry heart
vagrant sinew
#

Im just saying linking aggregate data that has a sample size of 10 players on each spec isnt everything week4 of the season

#

if rogue had 5 zacs it would be showing outlaw as the best spec

#

on archon

#

instead bro has 150 io more than r2

tribal blade
#

i was just pointing out

#

the last time i looked sin was like bottom of the charts

#

and now it's on top

#

which coincides will everything i'm seeing in game

#

and anecdotal data

vagrant sinew
#

I mean yeah I agree assa is probably better than sub above like 18 right now

#

but I have no idea how big the margin is because I dont push

vagrant sinew
#

but if you wanna be nitpicky the highest io rogue atm is still zac and nobody will be saying outlaw is meta

tribal blade
#

and outlaw currently has the least title range players in it

#

likely why

#

but i don't care about all that, i just care that sin stats have dramatically improved very quickly

vagrant sinew
#

I mean it makes sense

#

people do alot of keys > they were lets say 17,18 resil a week or two ago > assa gets small buffs > they try assa in keys and also get more gear, now they have timed same keys or 1 higher on assa

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

#

On Ezzorak and Vaegor is there any benefit to be hitting specific boss from atrophic poison point of view as to reduce more dmg?

tepid raven
#

On mythic you should be hitting both regularly enough to not have to think about it

#

On HC hit Ezzorak (I think he casts gloom)

#

Whichever one the soak comes out of

If you want to help with atrophic

But it’s not really that big a deal for HC I think

regarding the most recent posted pin and haste breakdowns, do we ever want to aim for the 1k haste mentioned for Deathstalker or that's just a rough reference and we should still aim for 700ish as most bosses are done as trickster?

hazy breach
#

If you want to play deathstalker, aim for that breakpoint

#

If not, then dont

#

But also turns out the new trickster talent in .5 is way stronger than expected

So DS probably aint it anyway

Cloud cover, its mentioned in the pins if you scroll down a bit

that plus rotten sounds kinda nutty

Now if they could make it so when in cloud cover the rogue is immune to damage 😮

finite hedge

does that make crit a stronger stat

hazy breach
#

Yes

torpid echo
#

oh boi, wll it outweight mastery? or will be assa angle and all secundaries will be good?

swift tinsel
#

might be a burst vs overall type deal

#

and currently all non-vers secondaries are good

torpid echo
#

nice, so crit will give us less burst but more falt profile and mastery will give us big spikes of burst

swift tinsel
#

and even vers isn't bad

Its still not working correctly in aoe in sims well see

But yes burst is WAY up

and crit stonks is also WAY up

if it's a net gain or buff i'll take it for raid

+100 crit damage on builders too

Cant wait to use blades and see the tank kite mobs out of the cloud

yeah, at least it lingers for 10 sec

finite hedge
#

Wait is Surprising strikes stacking also going to fuck with Apex optimization since ShS gonna be stonger now as well

crystal bone
#

could be worse

hazy breach
#

Unfortunately its really really really bad to have it be shorter than ~18 seconds

#

The second sectech really wants to be in that window

#

Because when the buff ends (so after 20 seconds) the 3 stacks of fazed remain on the mobs

#

Until you proc a new unseen blade and try to refresh it

swift tinsel
#

shuriken toss building time to preserve fazed

#

lfg

#

the time is now

shrewd lantern
#

is the cloud itself dropped under you

hazy breach
#

So if you leave the smoke early your sectech will not only miss out on the +16% dmg, but it will also reset it down to 1 stack

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

is there any toy we can use to root tanks

shrewd lantern
#

i would assume its similar range to smokebomb

hazy breach
#

Yeah its fairly big

finite hedge
#

Yeah it is pretty much

Its only gonna be an issue if you need to move across the room

tanks moving out of cloud will be the new tanks not letting me stealth for IC

swift tinsel
#

lol that was my first thought

crystal bone
#

i can already think of some raid bosses that have me moving across room when blades is rdy

swift tinsel
#

actually I wonder if its a gain to use toss to preserve the 3 stack as long as possible vs opportunity cost of losing UB hits

#

since you're also losing coup over time probs

hazy breach
#

Well youre not really gonna be doing much damage anyway at that point

#

Its more for aoe

swift tinsel
#

ye

hazy breach
#

Since unseen blade is a ST proc the 3x stacks will last the entire duration in aoe

#

(unless you sectech to remove them)

finite hedge
#

storm triggers blade too. can't really avoid it though

hazy breach
#

On your maintarget yes

#

ohh shit right

time to target a piss mob

you need blades to still be active when the clones hit 0.6s and 1.2s after casting

I find myself in an awkward position a lot where dance is about to come up 2 secs after blades ends but I can maybe cram in the 2nd sectec before blades ends. What’s better hold the sectec for dance super charge or cram inside a danceless blades?

warm marlin
#

hold dance for last 8s of blades so that that sectec hits in dance and blades, if you can't hit it get a bit more haste

all this yap about casting 2nd dance at 8 seconds of blades and using sectech without supercharger is only if u don't have guidon right, with guidon nothing changed??

Idk if its correct though
