but the actual heal value of ds is 100% wasted

random mason
#

I mean im sure theres some balance issue swith just slapping a dmg split on all blood dk shields apart from AMS

#

But they can figure that out with some DS nerfs or something

swift tinsel
#

I'd prefer if they had bone shield contribute something to that

#

or have that be the vehicle for the splitting

random mason
#

Only if they make bone shield less annoying for sanlayn

#

Cause that sucks

swift tinsel
#

removing tombstone and bonestorm made bone shield feel pretty shit

random mason
#

Hoping for apex procs to up your charges

swift tinsel
#

I hate blood, and veng apex

random mason
#

On deathbringer it kinda doesnt matter at least

#

On sanlayn getting the proc RIGHT after your 7 stacks drop is horrible

#

Ive been prespamming heart strike sometimes to try and catch a proc

swift tinsel
#

the proc ones interact weirdly

chrome palm
#

remember what they took from you

swift tinsel
#

I don't wanna think about that lmao

random mason
#

An ability you press before your cds and a mini game that makes you press all your generators?

random mason
#

No i actually dont

swift tinsel
#

maybe I level enh sham next

random mason
#

I do agree that this version is too simple, maybe not to the same degree tho

random mason
#

Or druid

#

Even tho feral is kinda ass

#

I just want a class where i enjoy dps and tank

chrome palm
#

flag and a few other things prevented the spec from being "macro that does everything at once"

i acutally miss it

#

the saladbar v1 pre ramp

#

tbh that was the biggest enjoyment in beloran

#

doing all the absolute degen preramp stuff for like 5% more dps

#

💯

random mason
#

At least rn i spam backstab for like 4gcds before every dance

short radish
#

i don't because if i spam, it means i might not be able to go into dance+sectech straight away

random mason
#

Well you spam but keep 35 energy

#

For dance

tribal blade
#

our ele is out today so i'm about to do beloren prog with no skyfury

short radish
#

ooooft

glass kelp
#

i have a cancelaura macro for ancient arts right now?

#

is there a use for this?

swift tinsel
#

the robot wants me to farm AA for the ring after getting both from npx

#

I will not be doing that

random mason
#

Robot doesnt need the haste from the rings

#

You do

swift tinsel
#

I'm at 743 with the set lol

#

gonna recraft some stuff

hollow spear
#

Blizzard has taken control of the robot in order to keep you engaged by showing you non existent upgrades

swift tinsel
#

can drop 40 from belt or dagger

stuck lance
#

off hand is 40 usually

swift tinsel
#

they both are

#

wait belt is 60 nvm

random mason
#

Yeah was gonna say, just one recraft

hollow spear
#

Yeah belt kinda big

swift tinsel
#

but ye just gonna recraft oh

stuck lance
#

ye just do OH

swift tinsel
#

haven't honestly looked at belt slot in like a month lol

#

now to return to the pit for neck roll

stuck lance
#

H aleria neck is better 😛 lol

random mason
#

I just crafted neck

#

1300 mastery gang

stuck lance
#

but then u drop a lot of stat lol

hollow spear
#

I'm using the seat neck rn garf

stuck lance
#

or need to drop a lot of haster

swift tinsel
#

myth pit beats hero alleria

#

otherwise I have to swap a lot of other slots

random mason
#

What about crafted haste/mastery

stuck lance
#

current gear probably but i think overall its a bit better

swift tinsel
#

I'm almost full myth

#

so probably not

stuck lance
#

285 ilvl and if i swap rings and get H alleria neck i get like 1.2% dps

hollow spear
#

Sounds wrong

swift tinsel
#

its basically just a haste injection that I don't need because of my other gear

#

and yes that sounds wrong

hollow spear
#

The proc is worth like 0.4% max, maybe less

#

And that's comparing ilvl parity

peak ice
#

Isn’t it the same as the rings

#

Basically

swift tinsel
#

at equal ilvl maybe

peak ice
#

Mmm

hollow spear
#

It's not even close to 1.2% at ilvl parity

peak ice
#

The crafted mythic one outdoes its proc dps for me

hollow spear
#

Something else is wrong

#

If you ignore secondaries and just assume you can reach the same outcome by shuffling around gear, I think the proc was worth 0.4%

swift tinsel
#

in pure st

hollow spear
#

Yes

#

Less in aoe ofc

stuck lance
#

gone down a bit since i last checked still .8%

shrewd lantern
#

damn i really need that beloren dagger

#

clearly

#

!

swift tinsel
#

yeah we're comparing vastly different gear sets lol

#

a hero neck to hero neck

#

vs hero to myth

shrewd lantern
#

indeed

#

its also why im upgrading neck last

swift tinsel
shrewd lantern
#

ill break 120k next week

#

and no this isnt with a vantus

random mason
swift tinsel
#

I'm at 118.5k just need to get a socket for bracers and a couple last slots

shrewd lantern
#

and npx rings

random mason
#

I was lazy and didnt get that

swift tinsel
#

ye I wasn't gonna pvp for that lol

#

lucked into a champ crown neck early and rode that out til I got hero choker

random mason
#

I was but i wanted to do it all in one week

#

Which wasnt possible and i had the sparks laying around before finishing the 4 weeklies

swift tinsel
#

would be kinda nice if Dungeon Journal loot pool showed what you can still roll on

#

actually skyreach is the play for boots and cloak

random mason
#

Yeah i cleaned skyreach

swift tinsel
#

idk if I've rolled there at all yet so it'd be a crapshoot

#

I got most of pit and npx cleared

#

and rolled for myth gaze so lots 2x there

random mason
#

Annoyingly still missing a helmet so i rolled first boss last week

#

Got cloak as the only miss

swift tinsel
#

praying for socketed vora bracers in upcoming vault, or cloak/boots

random mason
#

Next week 50/50 between boots/helmet

#

Or i just get helmet in vault and im literally done apart from getting AA ring and one more roll in skyreach for guaranteed boots

hazy lichen
#

what happened to top crown log

#

its like 30k dps diff

#

and now its gone

shrewd lantern
#

i cleared 4 items from npx

#

and 3 from AA

#

spent 1 on skyreach

still vector
#

puzzle box simming higher than guidon?

fringe lava
#

prog kill BIG

short radish
shrewd lantern
#

probably no degen holding sc anymore

still vector
#

OOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

fringe lava
#

i sent blades on adds in 2nd p1

#

since the egg was like 28%

finite lynx
#

!stats

near herald
#

why is mastery simming so fucking high?

#

are u guys using recklessnes?

random mason
#

No but might be better

near herald
#

why haste pot for 3 target?

#

like paladins or is that a dumb sim

random mason
finite lynx
#

how long of a remaining CD should i have on Shadow blades before i start holding dance/sectec

near herald
#

i am at 700

#

709

fringe lava
#

with or wihtout consumes

random mason
#

Cause youre simming A LOT more than what flask to use

near herald
#

yea gems and shit

#

on ring

#

or wait

#

lemmecheck lol

random mason
#

Yeah are u not using fury rn

#

Ring crit enchant

peak ice
#

2600 additional combos

#

Hmmm

random mason
# finite lynx ? 17?

Depends on situation but for ST you dont wanna delay it at all unless youd get downtime during blades

fringe lava
#

i think adding everything in that gear set you have like 500 haste

#

you want 700 no consumes or sumn

peak ice
#

700 with consumes

fringe lava
#

i mean like haste flask mb

near herald
#

700 with everything wasnt it?

peak ice
#

Yep

fringe lava
#

700 without haste flask

near herald
#

like oil which i didnt sim

peak ice
#

You can use a haste flask

near herald
#

just wondering why on 3 target haste flask

#

dungeon slice tells me mastery flask

#

1 target tells me crit flask

#

xD

random mason
#

The annoying thing with this haste requirement is that all u can sim is swaps where you wouldnt drop haste

peak ice
#

Cause dungeon slice is prettt trash

#

If at 700/800 use mastery/crit flask

If nit use haste

near herald
random mason
#

So dragons, paladins

#

Idk if crown and march are PP, i dont think they are

finite lynx
#

5ish?

random mason
#

Yeah something like that

finite lynx
#

kk ty

peak ice
#

Shadow tech only comes from autos doesn’t it

random mason
#

Yeah

#

You just backstab cause else you'd 'waste' energy

peak ice
#

Yep

#

You get so many stacks of shadow tech from shadow dance anyways it never seems to be a issue to line up the overcharge

@warm marlin help! how to do get manaflux quickly. 4/5 mythic tier slots with best non-tier shoulders from pit. dead

warm marlin
#

i mean arena seems to be good but i mostly just keep grinding whatever i need for crests and hope to highroll

lilac stag
#

3200 io ret vs 268 dk

#

and they nerfed sub on meta and m0 week kekman

#

i dont get it

warm marlin
#

excellent buffs bruv

#

another 5% to fdk

lilac stag
#

haha

#

so I'm supposed to void shard any 272 mythic trinket

warm marlin
#

no hunter btw

lilac stag
#

just to save crests right

warm marlin
#

ye

#

but tbh

#

you dont really need to save crests like that if you have myth achieve

#

its hard to even waste an amount of myth that would make you run out

#

you can do it to save time farming more myth though

lilac stag
#

i'm trying to inflate ilvl for pugging hahah

#

i've got nothing to spend the shards on. made a heroic weapon and sharded that. got the shit trinekt from aa and have 2+ void shards

kind edge
#

was changing few sockets and gear after few sims, and suddenlty heard the "like a glove" from the ace ventura movie

is there a functional difference between this and 700 ? I can swap gems if 700 is genuinely important just curious if it is

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.

!macro

#

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.

good morning lovely people. Do we still play trickster, or did the deathstalker hype start

alpine wraith

people will riot before they see the DS darkness

I'm not getting 1100 haste so hope that answers your question

empty bobcat
vale pine

nothing, its just ahead in pure single target

and given that people now have higher gear levels and more access to gear

some might try to min/max around that

yeah also that

I still have my 3 keybind unbound from the sub changes. Maybe I bind that to the ability that lets you move your mark lmao

any fight is ST if you don't care enough 😂

going under in first grp on chima, u say? i aint moving from boss untill the burst is over 😄

haughty heart
#

Whats the preference for maximizing trinket, guidon or aln

#

298

void ocean
#

guidon hc to mythic doesnt make too much dif, mostly coming from agi upgrade

#

haste is already enough from hc one

haughty heart
#

Yeah makes sense, agi upgrades are bis

#

ty

void ocean
#

i just wanna be once again sure u understood that u should upgrade Gaze first 😄

haughty heart
#

Ofc, ty

#

Offhand prio before guidon too maybe? or nah

tepid trellis
#

guidon should give more than off hand

void ocean
#

dunno exactly bout that one, i wouldnt personally

hollow spear
#

Quite sure it does

tribal vortex
#

All 3 are kinda shit.

#

the only trinket really worth upgrading is box

#

otherwise only MH, and all other 3 are kinda close

void ocean
#

mods, regulate this man

#

he's delusional, take him to infirmary

The 3 upgrade other than mh was 0.4-0.5% dps for me

you are correct.

I did not unlock the assaults so ill have to do delves

#

Got 2 with M+ 10

sly shore
#

t11 delves good

#

heroic raid is real fast too

#

and the nightmare prey boxes are 2 per week

#

that takes 10 mins total

#

so it's good too

#

full heroic clear literally took me 40 mins

#

and most of that was travel time between bosses

grim wasp

Ill just afk lfr later today as well

they are like

total waste of time

second one procced cheat death

grim wasp

third one i used CoS because well, if i didn't we'e have lacked a dps 😂

grim wasp
#

Backstab mechanics not my fault

upbeat cradle
#

besides a warrior and the two tanks i'm the only melee in my raid lmao

#

they are keeping me in just for racial diversity, i'm the mechagnome mascot i think ./s

latent remnant
#

no grips has to be pretty rough on some bosses

grim wasp
#

Everyone from other group rushed behind chim and i was busy backstabbing

upbeat cradle
#

yeah

#

our DK tank stopped

#

one of our warlock gonna switch to DK i think

void ocean
#

i dont like chima as unholy

#

probs a lot better as frost

random mason
#

The good part about chimmy is that you dont need to do it after a certain point

upbeat cradle
#

if you have enough DKs, DH and boomies, every fight this tier are ST fights lmao

random mason
#

Bc ppl should have gaze with the bonus rolls quite quickly

void ocean
#

i dont need to raid on my dk at all anymore, have both guidon and gaze

#

rolled 94 on guidon in pugs, saved myself a roll

upbeat cradle
#

i think most people are almost fully geared by now, and the few missing pieces can just be vaulted anyways

latent remnant
#

p sure this week would've been last bonus roll on gaze if I didn't get it before

random mason
upbeat cradle
#

bonus rolled twice on gaze to get it in vault after all that

random mason
#

Need to kill her first tho

void ocean
#

i mean on pugs thats gonna be tough

upbeat cradle
#

yeah pretty surei won't see alleria mythic any time soon

#

only got to dragons two days ago

void ocean
#

need a few more items on my rogue and then back to classic i guess 😄

upbeat cradle
#

i'm a filthy casual

random mason
#

Also only 1 day a week

#

3h

#

Hope we skip chimmy at least

upbeat cradle
#

i raid twice a week

#

we still do chimaerus for one more mythic vault slot tho

latent remnant
#

3 hours per week is pretty rough

random mason
#

Should start extending lockout soon

paper spear
#

!buffs

upbeat cradle
#

yeha i think we will extend lockout after this week too

paper spear
#

what was the command again to see how much we gain from like skyfury etc?

since most of us have what we need from the first bosses

upbeat cradle

but i think we all got it last week now

random mason
#

How, this is gonna be the 5th reset for rerolls

upbeat cradle
#

but we got many new members that don't know north to south or see signs

#

so i guess reclearing is practice

random mason
#

Oh new members okay

upbeat cradle
#

i'm just glad we still get 20 people to go raid

random mason
#

I still need helmet and boots but they dont need to be from first boss voidspire

upbeat cradle
#

i need boots legs and shoulders, but i'll just

random mason
#

Can just roll em from vault or m+ reroll

upbeat cradle
#

bonus roll them from a dungeon or vault

random mason
#

Yeah i got guaranteed boots sitting in skyreach, plus qn outlaw weapon if i wanna play forbidden 1300 mastery outlaw

upbeat cradle
#

i think NPX ring set is a slight upgrade too, missing the void one

#

last time i simmed it was like 0.5% dps

#

over the crafted ring i have

random mason
#

The dmg proc alone is ~0.4%

upbeat cradle
#

i'd just need to replace my haste gems for mastery ones to compensate

latent remnant
#

I should start thinking about what to bonus roll next week

upbeat cradle
#

nvm it's 1.5%

latent remnant
#

still have heroic head, wrist and rings

random mason
#

I hope i get helmet from vault so i can try to grab a puzzle box and start throwing together an assa set

#

Wanna at least try it to have a bit of variation

upbeat cradle
#

i've had a puzzle box mythic sitting in my bags for a month now

random mason
#

Esp in m+

upbeat cradle
#

haven't used it since

latent remnant
#

I still don't know how to properly play assa and I still did +20k dps on vanguard compared to my sub kill garf

random mason
#

Esp since we kinda vibed through every boss so far and will vibe through dragons too im pretty sure

latent remnant
#

very funny when we first cleared that

upbeat cradle
#

i hope i vibe through dragons

random mason
#

All bosses including dragons kinda felt like hc bosses idk

#

We got to like 35% first time getting there

void ocean
latent remnant
#

dragons is very rough for the tanks

random mason
#

Yeah sucks for them

#

We dont even play blood dk on it

#

War+pala only

latent remnant
void ocean
#

no bm

#

?

latent remnant
#

for dragons we had our unholy dk swap to blood as third tank just to mass grip orbs

#

also nice during prog he could take over when a tank died

random mason
#

our roster for first dragon prog

#

14 pulls to get a best at 36%

#

i think if we had another hour and started with dragons somehow we coulda killed it

#

I've seen ppl make insane orb spreads diagrams and shit

#

all u gotta do is not stand on ppl

latent remnant
#

it's nice to have people stack as close to eachother as possible every time

random mason
#

yeah so far all we had to do is yell at our DKs to grip in the tank orbs

#

boomie, BM, Dev Evoker and Havoc DH have been almost soloing them

latent remnant
#

probably a lot less of a problem now with the higher iL

So not end of the World just got suprised

I’ve had one mastery enchant and one main stat enchant since the start of the season and at no point has it really shown as a major change to switch either of them

random mason
hazy breach
#

But yeah generally the better gear you get (and the more tuning buffs you get) the more useful secondary stats are gonna be relative to primary stats

#

Its all minor differences either way

i would get a massive 0.8% with mastery enchants

why is this

We are still paying the price for zul funnel

Blizzard had a look at this and said, "Never again"OMEGAKEKW

random mason

but it's okay bc that's the new spec

and it's not rogue

dusky yacht
#

Auction house geared but top dps is where I think we should be as a class

keen steppe
vale pine
#

so damage numbers are fake

keen steppe
#

Sounds so cool dracthyr_yay

vale pine
#

well it was like this

#

you had a lot of small adds

#

but only subtlety was allowed to damage it passively while funneling

#

everyone else was forced to pure st

#

due to funnel

keen steppe
#

I was only a heroic raider in bfa and was playing sin

vale pine
#

usbtlety got a lot of benefits

#

*subtlety

dusky yacht
#

So that's why this time around they decided to screw our cleave and force us into basically ST only LMAO

vale pine
#

which makes the gap look even wirder than it actually was

#

people would have done more overall damage

#

if they would be allowed to pad on adds

#

but due to how the fight was designed

#

you would not be allowed to do that

#

mythic geared is actually an exreggeration

#

the gap between alt and raider was low

fossil forge
#

MAKING THAT MY NEW ALT

vale pine
#

which was why you could bring your alt even if it wasn't perfectly geared

#

it was also the first tier

#

and very early in it

keen steppe
#

I hated ghuun

vale pine
#

this does not take away from the fact that the priority damage output was ahead of other classes

#

but the time frame before the nerf

#

was not long

#

so "mythic geared" was not rly a thing

#

so its just "my main who did heroic with guild and got equipment"

#

vs.

grim wasp
#

!stats

vale pine
#

"my alt who did normal with guild and potentially pugged heroic"

grim wasp

because you want a good mix for single target

you don't always have AoE

You give me your myth gideon and you my pbox

wicked wadi
#

Guidon delay just as annoying as casting box imo

empty bobcat

problem with box is you often have the situation where you might wanna pop blades but your box aint ready, then next pull is a small one u got everything ready but on 3 mobs idk

The channel will forever be cringe tho

with guidson u are just always ready

Standing still for 2s unable to move ain’t it

but i like box on first pulls with BL

but after that I struggel to find proper execution

can you port to housing and switch equip like you can do with talents? 😄

drifting ether

It’s not bad I tried a puzzle box and tfd setup today

#

Guidon easier to use pbox you need the route from your tank

ok

Can probably play it with lower haste tbh

if they only would fix the delay from our talent so we could bind guidon to the rest 😄

#

sometimes iam still a bit too fast pressing it and then follow by dance and stuff

#

so i lose my extra second

tribal blade
#

i started to just watch my guidon cd and when it goes from 1:30>1:29

#

i pop everything

#

it's sometimes tough when there's a lot of stuff going on, but it's mostly chill

drifting ether
#

Doing a backstab/shuriken storm and guidon and letting the gcd timer is a easy way to do it too

tribal blade
#

yeah that works too, only issue there is you run the risk of not having enough energy for sectec

grim wasp
tribal blade
#

man the hoops we have to jump through using trinkets every single season lol

drifting ether

Ya it do be like that doing the most to get it to work 😂

drifting ether
#

I wonder what’s it’s gonna be like without 4 set next season

tribal blade
#

i'm very curious what's gonna happen next season

#

i have a nagging suspicion we're getting sectec charges

#

you can literally see it in the CDM which is funny

mighty citrus
#

like how?

tribal blade
#

if you set an alert for sectec

#

it has an option for charges for some reason

#

you can see it in game, i'm not in game so i can't post a screenshot

#

but surely that's there for a reason

mighty citrus
#

mhhh not too sure cause

#

the cdm in itself feels very static

#

and not very tailored to specs

#

but sure, we will know when we will know

tribal blade
#

thing is i don't think any other sub spell has that option on it

#

except stuff that has charges like dance

mighty citrus
#

oh thats interesting

tribal blade
#

so it's weird

drifting ether
#

Ooh like simplified version of last with st for every sd

mighty citrus
#

they treat st as dance

#

😄

tribal blade
#

they might literally be implementing @vale pine 's idea

#

i wouldn't be surprised if that happened

#

it makes sense with how little dmg sectec is doing right now

thin sinew
#

Fuu is the secret rogue dev confirmed. dog pile him!

vale pine
drifting ether
#

What’s the idea

#

I want the tea 😮

tribal blade
#

so it would work where we have baseline sectec on static cd

fossil forge
tribal blade
#

and then when you go in dance you get a shots charge of sectec in addition

#

so it would create this way of being able to kind of maneuver that static sectec cd around where you want

For ST that is, aoe is a bit different ofc since some specs randomly are allowed to not be softcapped

like frosts highest high doesnt feel that high but u catch up on other packs cause fdk 45 sec cd is nice

and boss dmg is yuge

so u might be far behind on some first pack lust pull but u catch up till the end

like fdk could outdps unhdk in 90sec burst only if the pack is super tightly packed

as soon as u start moving a bit and/or mobs get a bit more spread, unh is gonna dominate

cause breath and FS are a bit weird

yeah im just gonna stick to frost and have the only group wiping be when I send the dragon without thinking and pull 10 packs from narnia garf

swift tinsel
#

should have it be like Pack Leader chimera thing

#

but ye just have macros like this for their stuns/leaps and its never an issue

void ocean
#

but does it have any other purpose than avoiding NPX last boss premature interrupt

swift tinsel

it lets you kick/stun

can add targeting parameters if you want

#

Is potion of recklessness better than life's potential depending on pull size?

#

Lights*

vale pine
#

its better

#

if you have mastery from it

still gazelle
#

Just better overall? Even at like 17 or 18s?

#

I should be getting mastery from it once I recraft my gear to have less crit

lofty cave
#

for sub rogur potrion of reckless simed better for aoe 10 targets by 3%

vale pine
#

mastery is better in aoe yes

still gazelle
#

Is it pretty common for people to use recklessness on trash and then lights potential on bosses?

vale pine
#

can technically use it depending on where you use potions

lofty cave
#

but in one target sim light potential simm better by 1 %

vale pine
#

e.g. lights potential if you use it on bosses

#

and recklessness on big pulls

lofty cave
#

true that might be the play depending when my pot come off cd in the dungeon

still gazelle
#

Because I don't want to run endless simulations, are our stat weights pretty much the same for AOE and single Target?

vale pine
#

its like this

still gazelle
#

Assuming you have the 700 or more haste

vale pine
#

you want a more balances stat distribution on single target

empty bobcat
vale pine
#

but in mythic+ you rly go mastery over the other options

#

its not an exact science, as there are many combinations of stats which sim close

still gazelle
#

But I guess since very few fights are pure single Target, most mythic plus setups will probably do fine in raid?

vale pine
#

but as you see from the images, mastery gets noticably more valuable in multi target heavy situations like mythic+

lofty cave
#

ye like in m plus my sim has my haste low like 14% and master like 71%

vale pine
#

and mastery is ahead of other stats

#

compared to that

lofty cave
#

crit like 27

empty bobcat
vale pine
#

deathstalker

#

is noticably more haste heavy

#

as you go to 1100 haste

#

doing so takes mor aways from crit/mastery

lofty cave
#

is14% haste too low for m plus?

still gazelle
#

Currently without buffs my crit is like 900 something and mastery is 752. I was going to swap around the crafted pieces to have mastery instead of crit.

#

Could I just find simulating hard because of the whole haste issue.

vale pine
still gazelle
#

I just find*

#

Unless there is a way to hard code raidbots to not mess with going under 700 haste.

empty bobcat
lofty cave
#

i wonder why my sim has my haste so low but master like 71%

sullen hare
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
still gazelle
vale pine
#

haste basically gives you more dance time and secret cdr

#

but going all in on mastery and potentially using puzzle box, gives a higher immidiate burst

#

which is why some chinese prefere doing that

still gazelle
#

Fuu, is there a way to lock a secondary stat in raidbots (like haste to 700) so I can then run AOE and single Target setups without worrying about it dipping beneath or messing with other other variables

warm marlin
#

It’s good fun in raid though

zenith flare
#

Why is it that people use shurken with shadowdance dont we apply the debuff with shadowstrike already ?

vale pine
#

they do if they play deathstalker

#

the reaosn is, they want to avoid input/stance lag to be sure to hit all gcd's in shadow dance

fleet acorn
#

Easy way sim ur gear with all rings u have + haste/mastery gems
When Result is finish Switch out the haste mastery ring for one with more haste to reach 680+

swift tinsel
#

raidbots having something like a subset sum function would have insane iteration counts lol

vale pine
#

which is done by macroing storm + dance

fleet acorn
#

I’m on 699 by doing that with Both weapon oils

thats fine

zenith flare

# vale pine there is no way sadly

How do you simulate for single target versus AOE then if it's always trying to lower your haste? Do you just take its suggestions and then ensure the haste is at that 700 benchmark?

fleet acorn
#

Sub Sims for m+ are rly weird since last Patch for aoe
Whenever I let default (somehow crit) Flask sim it’s worse then when I pick manually all 3 and it shows me to pick mastery as Best

random mason

Which is playable, but if you prefer a bit more leeway you can swap something out for that last bit of haste or sim without oils like recommended here #subtlety-faq message

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).

ive been using numbing poison for mythics this is still correct right ?

Is the crest cost based on your highest trinket, or lowest?

if thats the caveat you meant :D

void ocean
#

otherwise it will be 20

robust saddle
#

then i pass both conditions

#

thank you love

vale pine
#

well basically

#

if you use shadow dance, the game takes a moment to realize that you changed stance

grim wasp
#

on laptop

vale pine
#

so e.g. if you use dance + strike on a macro

grim wasp
#

I see that is why some macros i cant put 2 skills together

vale pine
#

you need to use the button two times

void ocean
vale pine
#

because the server will not cast strike if you use the macro

#

and the 2nd press, and with it the strike cast

#

will be delayed

#

so you lose 0.1 sec (or higher if your ping is higher)

#

by using dance + strike

lofty cave
#

do we play cloud cover in m plus or no scruples?

vale pine
#

which is, in part, why we use dance + storm as macro on deathstalker

#

nope, we go no scruples

red flame
#

The cloud vanished just as quickly as it appeared

lofty cave
#

so no ore cloud cover?

vale pine
#

nope

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.

if you are ~15 seconds before blade and sec tech comes off cd do you send and just delay blades slightly or hold for blades? I know you for sure hold at 10 seconds but was unsure about before that

Usually you hold. Anything less than 20/19 seconds you hold. But if there is dmg amp or something like this send SecTec

patent ermine
#

I would think though if you know you won't have another shadow blades after that one due to fight ending, you could just send it and delay blades a little bit no?

swift tinsel

that's almost a full sectech cd worth of waiting

I honestly would send sec tech and delay blades a bit in his scenario

if blades is 15 sec away you can send

then just delay blades a bit
