woke up tomorrow was like wtf happened where r my rolls

lilac stag
#

You say mythic puzzle box like it’s a good thing. Pepegrin

void ocean
#

i play assa too

lilac stag
#

I’m sorry

void ocean
#

gotta stay sharp, u never know when they might get buffed

crystal bone
#

i played sin on paladins only so far

void ocean
#

also these simplified rotations kinda bore me faster

#

i play 2 rogue and 2 dk specs almost in equal terms just to have some variety

timid pulsar
#

my sim wants me to go 1k+ haste lol

void ocean
#

r u ds by any chance

timid pulsar
#

as trickster without Guidon

#

Yesterday it kept me at around 686 haste

#

Now it just fullsends it xdd

heavy ember
#

what is Guidon

#

Sorry new to rogue

timid pulsar
#

Haste trinket

heavy ember
#

ah yes

valid falcon
#

you guys think it's worth chasing the rings from nexus point? with bonus rolls i mean

swift tinsel
#

ye they're good

limber folio
#

i added FW and UB to my cdm, do i even bother

swift tinsel
#

FW nah

#

can get rid of UB/Fazed/Flawless Form

hazy breach
#

And silent storm

swift tinsel
#

ye p much all of them except a way to know when you have apex proc and coup ready

hazy breach
#

Shadow technique, ancient arts and unseen blade stacks are like the only things that matter

limber folio
#

i mean i use FF to keep up for L'ura

subtle aspen
#

U think ok to have 200 hast

plush roost
#

In keys it is fine

#

guys, noob question but im unsure which is the correct data

#

which flask is the highest dps according to the robot? is it mastery or crit

void ocean
#

i only track sht stacks 😄

#

and well AA procs in the centre of my screen

#

everything else, i dont feel we have any decision making based

#

(i use coup-bp macro so i got that covered as well)

subtle aspen
#

They Will uncap crests?

#

Like, plsssss

#

U Will do This?

uncut token
#

!stats

uncut token
#

So... I actually don't have the haste cap (HM guidon, 600 haste) but sim keep telling me to get more mastery and use mastery flask

#

Is it normal ?

random mason
#

Yes

#

Robot is better than you

valid falcon
#

well they did say AI was gonna replace us

uncut token
#

That's all about the second sentence in !haste ok

#

1024 crit (34%)
600 haste (18%)
344 mastery (38%)
311 vers (6%))

So I suppose I should try to erase vers or less crit to get more haste & mastery ?

raw frost
#

You need 54 versa from head xd

#

Thays it

#

Rest in mastery

#

I have 30 % crit 16 haste ,69 %mastery and 1 versa

uncut token
#

Vers on legs and feet cause outlaw bis rn

raw frost
#

And use flask for haste to go to 20 %

#

Bis where 😄

#

you need to min max outlaw and even then its slight above sub

#

maybe little bit more in very high keys

#

thats it

#

When blizzard change another spec to be 2-3 % better than their own and they switch instantly

#

to be meta slave is not easy i guess 😄

fossil forge
#

yes you need to have a premade group for this to work though i guess

#

and st is nonexistent probably

uncut token
raw frost
#

Not you 😄 i am saying it overall

steady osprey
uncut token
#

Was playing Outlaw even when we were only 20 outlaw in mythic Sepulcher kekw

#

But still thank you for all the answer

calm wing
#

Crit flask or still mastery ?

raw frost
#

i believe 20% haste / 60-70 mastery/ 30-34 crit will be the optimal

uncut token
#

Was able to go on 30 crit, 21 haste (732), 44 mastery (before flask) and 5 vers

#

With gems adjusment

raw frost
#

when you change the versa to mastery you will be good to go

patent ermine
#

5 versatility won't change much :p

sonic raven
#

Anyone know if you can upgrade a heroic item to 298 or just mythic?

patent ermine
#

I think it's just +10ilvl so it has to be mythic

#

Worst case do it to a crafted dagger for a 295

alpine wraith
#

pls dont waste it

#

unless it is uncapped

#

then whatever

sonic raven
#

Thanks

charred pawn
#

which was 1k dps increase

#

those are my stats

#

Thanks

#

also checked the vantus rune buff

#

but without vantus and with crit flask + light's potential potion i was simming 115k i think

#

That'll do it, thank you!

shrewd lantern
#

ymmv

#

i sim 50 dps lower with mastery flask

#

maybe you have too much mastery or

are those stats ok? I'd say a little bit less crit and more mast? or am I wrong

Would it be advised not to play sub until I can get 700 haste with trinket or 800 without?

Its fine to play anyway

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.

Blizzard never bugs the player power mid season system

hazy breach
#

Ye to hit the breakpoint you kinda need one of these:

  • Engineering crafted item (s)
  • Alleria neck
  • Lura rings
vagrant fossil
#

Is the bug from AA not giving back CPs when sectec also just not getting the damage on sectec?

hazy breach
#

!premed

wicked joltBOT
#
  • The first Ancient Arts clone cannot proc while Premeditation is up, as you are not expending any Shadow Technique stacks. This is not really a bug, just an unfortunate interaction.
  • There is also a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts 3. (This does not matter much numerically, but feels weird)

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
    If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).

Correct, the clones only spawn when you get the refund

what is the deal with numbing ?

hazy breach
#

Wdym

vagrant fossil
golden thunder
#

is the attack speed and cast speed reduce better than the dmg reduce from atrophic? someone mentioned numbing before .. or was just a joke? ^^

hazy breach
#

In most keys youll wipe more often to a missed cast than to taking 3% more damage

golden thunder
#

ok thats what i felt too... was discussing with an other rogue in the guild

hazy breach
#

Obviously at the highest end when you have coordinated kicks its not as necessary, but i would generally say stick with numbing in keys

In raid you always go atrophic

what is it about ds that makes so much more haste needed

left ledge
#

you want to get as many darkest night casts as possible

#

while still following general spending rules

#

more gcds in dance means more opportunities to use deathstalker's power

#

trickster has a lot of its power in sectec

latent remnant
#

is it even realistic to get that much haste yet or is that just a future season thing

left ledge
#

how much haste

#

1100?

Also if you have 1.1k haste you can fit 2 darkest nights in dance quite a lot of the time

left ledge

yes i almost always fit 2

hazy breach

Because you have an extra gcd

left ledge
#

sometimes lucky 3 in cds

can be quite disgusting

latent remnant

Probably a bit late to change up all my gear into haste to give it a try but maybe next season I will

left ledge
#

ive actually been enjoying DS so much more that im quite comfortable with cancelaura now ICANT

hazy breach
#

Cancelaura what

left ledge
#

im cancelaura apex if im at 1 stack of mark with like 5-6 sht stack and about to enter dance

left ledge
#

i dont if sectec is up

latent remnant
left ledge
#

ill just expend the stack with sectec

#

pretty niche situation but it happens quite often on a long fight

left ledge
#

but if i dont do it, i go into dance + DN without apex

#

the alternative is to just finish earlier and afk autoing while energy capped

#

but i feel like that has to be less dps

latent remnant
#

I still have so much to learn about getting better but honestly I'm happy being as mediocre as I am for this being my first expansion

left ledge
#

@hazy breach any input on the cancelaura? ICANT

hazy breach
#

It wasnt worth it when i checked in simc, but its not horrible. Most of the time you will generate enough sht during the first seconds of dance to proc apex anyway

left ledge
#

i see yeah

its extremely niche i press it because usually sectec covers the sht problem

In the crown fight, is it better to hit aleria or the simulacrum

watch it be deathstalkermark

Oh its dungeonslice

does ds favor a shit ton of haste?

Nah its just a bit jank as sub now with haste breakpoints and lineups

mortal galleon
#

gotcha ill aim for 700ish haste then, thank you

lilac stag
mortal galleon
#

I assume it doesnt make sense to get another gcd

lilac stag
#

684-700 is what you want.

#

or 1100 if you’re running deathstalkermark for ST

hollow spear
# hazy breach Huh

Was that huh related to my question?

If yes, I meant to go into dance with dn up and dn into sectec instead of sectec into dn (with one stack). This should increase your chances of getting two dn during the dance, or do I misunderstand something?

hazy breach

DN or sectech

is 800 haste a solid breakpoint for us now?

Are we getting the turbo boost thingy for weapons n trinkets this week? And if so..is it one per week?

True, forgot that there's people without guidon garf_sit

wintry hemlock

dont ahve :[ ima pug for it after this

hollow spear
#

You could haste flask for 626 + 165 = 791 and just get one gem with minor haste

#

There's nothing worse than just about too little haste. Seeing your dance run out before the next global or not getting your second sectec into blades, peak disappointment.

Aren't the just going for one extra global and then dropping haste?

guys, im at 701 haste without flask, is it worth swapping food and gems to getting closer to 800 (dont have guidon) or just pop haste flask and get gems for the other stats?

so if you use haste flask its fine

I watched an arcane mage guide yesterday, it's crazy. They don't even play missiles. Rip the class swap dream..

Will have to take that for a spin ig

peak ice
#

Not great

hollow spear
#

My hope is that mage is enough of a hero class that they'll bring arcane or fire back up

hazy breach
#

Gonna preface this by saying i dont think fire mage is actually good. But statistics on specs that are underplayed generally look worse than they really are, because most good players arent playing those specs

#

As an example back in dragonflight there was a hotfix patch that buffed assa by 5%, and sub dropped ~3% dps from that on statistics

#

Despite receiving literally no changes

peak ice
#

Yea that’s true, I don’t think it’s like fundamentally trash, it’s just frost does basically everything better than it

#

Currently

#

Plus better defensive

drifting ether
#

It’s a good season when mages not meta in m+ tho

#

Phys comp on the rise

jade oasis

serious fire diehard players

atleast any i know of

Then just being middle but having lust definitely makes getting into keys easy though

You can see glimpses of what weaker specs are capable of in the hands of good players

Idk if there’s a class that’s like, so bad you can’t make it fine

I think guardian Druid definitely needs its apex fixed or changed

It’s so eh

Any spec not using its apex is a failure imo

jade oasis

what specs don’t use theirs except gdruid

hollow spear
#

I think they've fixed them all atp

hazy breach
#

Did they fix mistweaver

#

I know they were dropping it

hollow spear
#

Good question

#

According to wowhead there's an M+ build that drops it

#

Lemme check leaderboards

#

Yeah, first one I've checked drops it

#

The two specs coming out as meta drop their apex. Coincidence?

peak ice

Feel like if it’s even a question it’s a failure

You have to spend too many points in the Druid one to get like fuck all back from it

Assume it’s something to do with fitting 2 DN evis into the blades window

Or 3? Idk

You need it to get two sectecs into blades and it gives you another gcd during dance, which ds likes

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
    If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).

Guys, can we somehow sim 40 sec starting with the 2 supercharge points Vs without the 2 supercharge points? (From the Pre pull dance).

#

Kinda new to sub, have a question:

During Shadowblades, I assume we want to re-use dance as soon as it's up? If so, do we try to squeeze in the second Secret Technique so it's still within blades/dance, or do we wait until we can get a fresh dance for the supercharge?

plush roost

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.

peepono wasting time on rekills that are likely very minimal upgrades at this point isn’t worth the time especially if you’re 2x a week raid.

Yeah i mean i guess if you suck at reclear its not bad

lean arch

#

Don’t matter. Even if it’s a hour you’re wasting time since they’re likely still killing chim

#

I think at this point the largest upgrade for any raider was 500 dps

your mileage may vary

shrewd lantern
#

its more about extending for months

#

kills motivation sometimes

lilac stag

Welcome to 2x middle of the pack CE raiding.

Sloppy reclears do more harm than extending.

tbh this tier is probably one of the better tiers for extending

because once you clear crown

you just do belo prog and clear up to dragons/saladbar weekly

yeah barely anyone reclears crown

World of Warcraft Forums

Hi! I’m Prophet and I’m a 4 time 0.1% M+ title holder (retired now though) and CE raider. I’m also a die hard rogue and very active in the sub rogue channel of the rogue discord. I’m not going to create a long wishlist here because I believe 80% of the issues rogues are facing currently can be solved with 1 simple thing- a real raid buf...

#

was thinking about maybe making a sub wish list too

#

with the classics like

  1. more sectec dmg/charges/interactions
  2. more funnel with banshee's blight
  3. possible fix to haste situation
  4. sectec redesign to combine all hits into 1
#

can't think of any others right now

keen dome
#

Poison toggle???

tribal blade
#

oh 5. update useless talents

tribal blade
keen dome
#

But that continues to be a good post. I think a raid buff is the single biggest and best change they could make right now.

#

Everything else is a bandaid whereas a raid buff is a fundamental and positive change to the entire class.

#

I wish I could post with my actual account on the US forums

tribal blade
#

i think putting out a long list in 1 post would kinda drown out the importance of a raid buff

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I think we should keep harping on about raid buff

#

And if / when that happens, it's the next bit of feedback

tribal blade
#

i have optimism that it could possibly happen in this next upcoming patch

keen dome
#

Same

#

I think doing one thing at a time, to make it heard, make it the feedback is better than a long list or vague "fix it" imo

tribal blade
#

i think it would be a huge step in making rogue more relevant

vale pine
#

thats correct

#

its always better to state a problem and explain it

#

that bring a solution

#

most developers want to find their own solution, so knowing the problem space is important

tribal blade
#

where i was being more hostile

vale pine
#

It is fine, sometimes you need to be a bit more agressive

tribal blade
#

my buddy who did the same thing for arms when arms was a dead spec this tier said someone told him if you are any kind of hostile in those posts the devs will straight up ignore them

tribal blade
vale pine
#

It depends

#

i personally like to frame things more positively and ask questions

#

e.g. i understand why there was an incentive to simplify our cleave/aoe model

#

BUT

#

If you look at simulations, the diffrence from playing "incorrect" seemed marginal, very low

#

Which is a important point to argue further

tribal blade
#

that's true yeah

#

sub did get over pruned sadly

vale pine
#

if you bring the stable baseline of the player doing things incorretcly, having a rough estimate to outline the impact is good

#

because, if we think back

#

doing single target on 5, 6, 7 targets

#

still had a okay trade off

#

you got priority damage and did not sacrafice much aoe

#

it became rly bad once you move to very high target counts

#

but i would argue, players would intuitively go to aoe spells there

#

and with all this context given, i can focus on asking if the change was a net positive?

#

Because i think its easy to see that the impact was overestimated

#

and the result is fairly brutal, because AoE, which intuitively starts at around 5 targets

#

now starts with two

#

And you can add the context of performance

tribal blade
#

yeah i'm torn with wanting to go back to old nimble and not

#

i do miss being able to do cleave and choose to evis for prio

vale pine
#

because subtlety was for most of the time rly bad in cleave

#

TWW fixed it with nimble

tribal blade
#

but there's the good point that it tied our ST to our AOE in tuning

vale pine
#

now we are back at being the literally worse class in game

tribal blade
#

yeah i really want to have decent cleave again

#

not even amazing cleave

vale pine
#

To be fair

keen dome
#

Same, I want basic cleave

tribal blade
#

just not bad

vale pine
#

i think having decent cleave

#

should be the norm

tribal blade
#

it should be yeah

#

if that's what raid design favors

vale pine
#

If you look back at legion

#

the initial subtlety design made a lot more sense

#

you had single target focus

#

and cleave/aoe was funnel

#

the funnel was extremely good to make up for the deficit

#

This design constraint was not understood/iterated on well

#

because in BfA

#

we suddenly got the funnel removed

#

which, if you look at it this way seems like

#

"wait, this creates a problem"

#

and the fix was black powder

#

but black powder did not fix the cleave

#

and if you remember back

#

it did not fix aoe either

#

black poweder initially was ONLY used on 8+ targets

#

assassiantions crimson tempest

#

did MORE damage with the initial non tick damage

#

than black powder

#

so if you spammed CT on sin, you would outdo a sub rogue spamming BP

tribal blade
#

oh yeah i remember CT doing more than BP haha

native zodiac
#

i just wish we knew the reason of them nuking nimble, its not like we were cleave gods or anything

tribal blade
vale pine
#

The reason was that they wanted to simplify the rotation

tribal blade
#

in terms of builder/finisher priority

vale pine
#

and the aoe part was "difficult"

#

so they went all out and made it 2+ targets aoe

#

and removed nimble

native zodiac
#

such a dumb reason

tribal blade
#

because if you remember a big part of questions we got in here during TWW was asking about what builder/finisher to use when

vale pine
#

i think what was dump was

#

that we did not push back more against it

tribal blade
#

it was a bit confusing for sure

vale pine
#

i remeber discussion

tribal blade
#

but it did create fun gameplay

native zodiac
#

just the answer is different

tribal blade
#

now it's more "what haste do i need"

vale pine
#

"from all things to complain, people talk about nimble 🙄 "
"its the same damage, why do people complain, we lost nothing"

native zodiac
#

thats why i dont get the change, it hasnt made anything easier it has only moved the goal post when you press black powder and you are completly useless in low target counts Shrug

vale pine
#

and i understand that

tribal blade
#

yeah as soon as i saw them remove strike and evis from nimble

#

i got very worried

vale pine
#

initially, aoe was tuned high

#

so the diffrence was low

#

now that aoe is not high

#

cleave is bye bye

#

removing tools to seperately tune both, just made the exact concern voiced

#

come true

tight moss
#

is it me or there’s a awkward timer between your 2 mins where your secret technique is coming back up in like 8-9 second so you want to use a spender but if you do there’s a chance not hitting 5 stacks of shadow technique due to RNG for the super charged secret technique + coup de grâce 😭

tribal blade
#

i think they need to fix sub's cleave issue in our current talents

#

or baseline

vale pine
#

thats as simoke as it gets

#

we don't talk about stikr

#

ignore strike

#

but outside of strile

#

its super simple

vale pine
#

so lets see if subtletxy gets the same

tepid quartz
#

Is there any advices for beloren progress? We are stepping in to MtQ tonight

tribal blade
vale pine
vale pine
#

and i would also like a raid buff

tribal blade
#

rogue is very mid in cleave yeah

vale pine
#

thats not "bench if your dps is mid"

tribal blade
#

sub is at least quite decent on some fights

tight moss
vale pine
#

we can pad on certain fights

#

like dragons

#

we have the best burst, so baloren is great

#

(best burst of rogue)

tepid quartz
tribal blade
vale pine
#

you basically stop using finishers close to dance

#

you will have sht stacks that way

tribal blade
#

if i'm reading this right, it sounds like you're trying to go into dance with 0 CPs and banking 5 sht

tight moss
#

like im afraid to spend combo point when secret technique is up in 7-8 seconds, and if i do and didnt get 5 stacks of shadow technique in time to proc apex talent, im trying to use secret technique + dance the moment its up, so i find my self capping combo point and doing few back stab so at least the energy isn’t capped

hollow spear
#

I'm not sure, but my gut tells me that rogue wouldn't have been benched as much in its current relative state

tight moss
#

yeah is it better not to use raw evisecrate 7 seconds before dance + secret technique and just cap the combo point and spend backstab so at least the energy isn’t capped

tribal blade
#

yeah you can sit at full CPs for a few seconds

#

and press backstab to not cap energy

#

that's fine

tight moss
#

sorry it sounds a bit confusing explaining it

tribal blade
#

i think i get it now

#

and even if you cut it close sectec generates 4 sht from the clones

#

so you're very likely to have enough sht to apex your 2nd supercharged CP after sectec

tight moss
#

yeah i wonder if it’s a dps gain or loss by doing that getting super charged apex back to back spender from supercharged secret technique + dance -> apex + super charged coup de grâce back to back, or is it better just to spend that combo point outside dance window to get eviserate off

tribal blade
#

you don't need to apex sectec because it only applies to the phys portion which is quite small

#

also premed blocks the apex anyways

#

so you'll naturally not apex your sectec without needing to try if you do dances correctly

tight moss
#

ahh i see, thanks for clearing it up

fringe lava
#

honestly though now that i’m progging beloren the egg phase damage seems like a complete joke

tribal blade
#

it was extremely tight before, but the +20 secs make a big diff

fringe lava
#

bringing the egg down to like 32-33% in the first egg phase at this point and people are still uncomfortable with it

void ocean
#

egg phase doesnt have any dmg amp, right?

tribal blade
#

no dmg amp

void ocean
#

i did it only once and it was hc few weeks ago so i forgot

fringe lava
#

the whole fight just feels like figuring out 2nd p1 and its dead on a clean pull

tribal blade
#

yeah my guild's prog on it has also been quite fast

void ocean
#

ah yes, those clean pulls

#

some say they exist, others even seen one

tribal blade
#

i think not needing to optimize egg dmg makes the boss WAY easier to prog

yo, running puzzle box for m+ instead of guidon at 1.3k mastery is trolling right? somehow box sims better but i hardly believe xd

tribal blade

but could be fine

i rly wish guidon is better

#

i hate casting box

tribal blade
#

guidon is good

short radish

then use guidon

there are rank 1 sub rogues running guidon

in fact i would say if your mast is that high

you would benefit more from guidon

than puzzle

# tribal blade yes

Youd say its a personal topic, that the current high keys players just enjoy outlaw more? Wox in Stream yesterday said, that outlaw just does straight 20-30k dps more and doesnt require resto shaman

tribal blade
#

if so x2 finality is better than x1 weaponmaster

frozen edge
tribal blade
#

because he's an outlaw main

#

but yes outlaw is in general better than sub in keys right now

#

but sub is currently performing pretty well, so if you want to push for title it's more than capable

peak ice
#

Guidon better would be broken

glacial igloo
tribal blade
#

awesome

wheat edge
#

dont u always take imp sec tec

tribal blade
#

because x2 finality was better than imp sectec

wheat edge
tribal blade
#

since evis does so much dmg with DN

wheat edge
#

interesting

tribal blade
#

but now gaining a talent point from dropping WM you can put it in imp sectec

#

that actually means DS does slightly better cleave/aoe in raid talents now

Unseen hits 1 target

radiant swift

but that

#

yeah i just reread

#

i see so its importsnt to not target swap

#

well before coup that is

#

on which target does shuriken storm trigger unseen? does that work any diffrent ?

#

oh thats why i tought about nimble - unseen blade also hits up to 7 targets but then i guess it doesnt apply fazed to all of them?

tribal blade
#

you can only apply fazed to more than 1 target with sectec

#

or cloud if talented

#

or i guess if you tab target you can "spread" fazed that way

radiant swift
#

if im not mistaken coup goes from the target to the others

#

so i always swapped to the most middle sitting mob

#

but thats not very good it seems

#

what about the aoe situation? u shuriken storm and get coup

which target do u attack

#

Am I slow or is it super hard to get the second sectec into blade window with exactly 800haste and box? on dummies its almost impossible for me feels like there is always 1sec or less left when sectec is back up

latent remnant
#

i thought you could only really do that with lust no?

#

or i might be thinking of something else

trail rover
#

wasnt the plan to fit 2 dances into blades and then hit the 2nd sectec right before the second dance and blades end (if you dont have lust)

latent remnant
#

honestly I'm not sure if it's better to send the sectec there or to wait for next dance so you have it supercharged

void ocean
#

but if u have 700 haste and guidon in regular burst u do get 2nd sec tech like 3 sec before blades end

#

if u add lust on top of that u get sec tech as ur first finisher in the 2nd dance

trail rover
#

yeah i used to just supercharge it with the next dance now i want to make it fit within blades and it feels super hard

latent remnant
#

the logs I looked at never sent the sectec unless supercharged so I just assumed that was always better

void ocean
#

im afraid thats not good

#

might be wrong tho, who knows

trail rover
#

with lust its alright, some seconds between dances then you can 2nd dance --> sectech but without lust it feels a bit scuffed but maybe im slow or should finally start bonusrolling for the damn guidon

void ocean
#

i mean the whole point we go for that much haste is to have 2nd sec tech in burst

trail rover
#

yeah thats what i thought

void ocean
#

without that u just get like 2 sec longer dance which is not bad but its not huge either

undone cliff
#

Try to go a little above 800 haste. I think that number is in a perfect setup

#

I have guidon and still sit around 720 because of gear I have and it helps with lag or messed up play

radiant swift
#

does anyone have the tabble with x haste gives this many extra globals

void ocean
#

!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.

void ocean
#

damn its not it

radiant swift
#

with pbox and 800 haste it was impossible to get another stec in

#

it was always 1 sec left (without lust) and it would land outside
