#

dude my pc is being acoustic

#

i cant copy paste

upbeat cradle
#

acoustic ? musical ?

#

or autistic

small sleet
#

I resimmed this single target with optimal raid buffs and itโ€™s showing the haste pants to be significantly worse than the crit ones

#

So something was maybe off with how you set the sim options. Idk Iโ€™m on my phone so itโ€™s hard to look at it easily

vagrant lynx
#

ohh

coral bear
#

restarting pc...

vagrant lynx
#

i put no raid buffs except i put on the phoenix oil so haste stat is correct

somber sun
#

is there a dungeon with good drop table and has head/shoulder that is worth rolling for ?

coral bear
#

ok its fixed now

#

wtf

small sleet
#

Iโ€™m not sure why that would make it want haste tbh

empty bobcat
vagrant lynx
#

yea exactly

trail rover
#

can you even get above 123k ST without vantus ? seems to be close for pandas if you sim with double oils but almost noone above 122k

coral bear

#

true

#

Im rolling skyreach for shoulder

swift tinsel
#

it has every tier slot and I think 2x rings and a trinket

#

possibly another item

#

officially done rolling for the season

empty bobcat
#

missing shoulder/hands

#

๐Ÿ™

swift tinsel
#

#

and a socket for bracers next week

undone cliff
#

What is best dungeon dagger for sub? Iโ€™ve been rolling pit

swift tinsel
#

I have just cloak and bracers to max from 276

#

so a handful of runs

coral bear
#

How do i do it?

empty bobcat
#

but nexus also fine if u just need some more haste

coral bear
#

please help ๐Ÿ™

shut dawn
#

Is it worth sending bonus rolls on myth imperator for light guideon

empty bobcat
#

yes

swift tinsel
#

if its your last roll

shut dawn
#

Dope thx

swift tinsel
#

do you have champ/hero guidon?

empty bobcat
#

in case u got alnseer already

small sleet
shut dawn
#

No, I have heroic gaze and myth feather

empty bobcat
#

then Id roll for myth gaze

#

and try farm heroic guidon

swift tinsel
#

guidon will net better than hero to myth gaze

#

by replacing feather

empty bobcat
#

go 800 haste and replace the feather with something else idk

shut dawn
#

Heroic guidon is better than myth feather?

empty bobcat
#

until u get guidon

#

and roll for gaze imho

#

yes

swift tinsel
#

by virtue of being a 1.5min cd vs 2

pure grail
#

Is there a way to sim sub? I have no haste trinket. So my haste cap is 800 and raidbots is using 650. Does this break raidbot completly?

undone cliff
upbeat cradle
#

If you mean WS feather then yes

shut dawn
#

Gotcha. Thx

swift tinsel
#

your highest prio is getting guidon

empty bobcat
#

get a heroic paw from delves

coral bear
#

Ok im doing it i think

empty bobcat
#

and replace the feather to get 800 haste + gaze

cursive oar
#

during shadow blades my 2nd shadow dance just wont go off right after the first one ends, is this a bug?

small sleet
empty bobcat
#

probably sims better until u get guidon

i'm gonna try to ignore adds and do only boss damage on averzian to see how well I parse

empty bobcat
#

below tank probably

empty bobcat
#

u guys doing crazy numbers.... Im at 114k T_T

sharp seal
#

got same numbers as trickster

small sleet
#

thats with vantus on

coral bear
#

!WAIT HOW

small sleet
#

i dont have vantus on in my sim

coral bear
#

u got neck?

small sleet
#

no

coral bear
sharp seal
#

PIT neck, nexus ring set

coral bear
#

Can u send

#

ur sim

small sleet
#

this is my sim with vantus on

coral bear
#

if u dont mind giving me ur credit card info, and the link of ur sim

#

i wanna see how i ccan optimize beetter

empty bobcat
#

haste flask???

small sleet
#

to reach 1100 haste for deathstalker yea

coral bear
#

ya

sharp seal
coral bear
#

oh

#

thank u brother man

empty bobcat
#

never simmed on that spec

coral bear
#

1brother is just him

#

OOOH i didnt ptu ventus and voidtouched

#

oops

#

give me a second

empty bobcat
#

lemme check if I can get 1100 haste :3

hallow mortar
#

damn this game, season is over and i still stuck on hero guidon ๐Ÿ˜„

#

cant even roll it

small sleet
coral bear
#

๐Ÿ’€

empty bobcat
coral bear
empty bobcat
#

Im still try it ๐Ÿ™‚

coral bear
#

as trickster

#

fuccc

hallow mortar
#

flask choise is fun one too

#

i guees get the cheapest ๐Ÿ˜„

upbeat cradle
#

mastery is better for AoE tho

hallow mortar
#

true

sharp seal
#

it says I need mastery flask in ST since we switched from weapon master to finality

tacit hare
#

any chease for 18 magisters? Only difficult part should be glaive throwers and 3rd boss no?

small sleet
#

3rd boss? do you mean 4th? 3rd boss is pretty easy

tacit hare
#

surviving wise

small sleet
#

most dangerous part of that key is definitely the hallway with the glaive throwers

#

if you're targeted by glaives, you can vanish and it wont recast. tank should only have one healer in each pull so the healer can keep up with the little holy shock dispel things

#

swap to wound poison after 2nd boss for the adds that do the consuming shadows cast

small sleet
# tacit hare surviving wise

generally the higher the key level goes, the healing check on the 4th boss becomes very difficult, whereas most of the damage on the 3rd boss can be mitigated with good defensives

tacit hare
#

but ye, healing on 4th boss is intense

small sleet
#

yeah everyone should place the puddles on the wall or in the center

tacit hare
#

ye

coral bear
#

bro

#

no one PLAYS DEATHSTALKER

#

looking at wacraftlogs

#

LMFAO

#

1 single guy on Lura

#

2 on bel

small sleet
#

before this week it was too hard to swing the haste

coral bear
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

true

small sleet
#

i think more ds logs will pop up, but trickster is better at padding so people who want to parse will stick with it since its not crazy behind in st

coral bear
#

is damage meter bugged

#

details

small sleet
#

in what way

#

its got like 100 bugs

upbeat cradle
#

if you mean the diff between detials and lots it's mostly because the wow damage meter doesn't take into accounts downtime between pulls

#

that's why logs are always lower

coral bear
#

just isnt updating

#

live updating damage

small sleet
#

click current segment again

#

there's been a bug ive been getting where it randomly gets stuck on an old pull

coral bear
#

Its so weird

#

to shuriken storm

#

right after dance

#

in deathstalker

#

dance shuriken eviserate rather than secret tec ๐Ÿ˜ญ

left ledge
#

why is it weird

coral bear
#

fucking my bnrain up

small sleet
#

you get used to it very fast

coral bear
#

Cause its a different logic from trickster

left ledge
#

you dont HAVE to evis first

#

thats only if you have DN up

coral bear
#

Trickster = SuperCharge Secret tech into ur Coup the grace (try to get both)

#

and death stalker is (Just eviserate lil bro)

#

Isnt it better

#

to wait that i have

#

DN

#

1st?

#

before i dance

left ledge
#

no

coral bear
#

to double supercharge it

#

u sure?

small sleet
#

u want 1 mark left right?

left ledge
#

trickster is the braindead one

#

ideally 1 mark

#

but sometimes you cant get that

small sleet
#

go in with 1 mark, sectech to proc dn

left ledge
#

its not worth to force

small sleet
#

yea

coral bear
#

But u lose a supercharge on ur evis

left ledge
#

sometimes you have 2 marks and dance+sectec is up

#

so you just send

small sleet
#

wdym

left ledge
#

you just lose supercharge on DN

#

as long as you apex the supercharge and apex DN

#

you're fine

#

even if you dont its like

#

3%

coral bear
#

Whats DN already :p

small sleet
#

darkest night

coral bear
#

oh okok

small sleet
#

guaranteed crit evis that reapplies the mark

coral bear
#

Cause i was looking at the raidbot sim rotation

#

they ONLY dance when they have DN

#

100% rate

left ledge
#

yes DS wants to dance with DN

#

but it also wants to dance with sectec

empty bobcat
#

so you track the buff?

left ledge
#

yes you have to on DS

#

if you dont track mark you cant play DS efficiently

empty bobcat
#

hm might try today

small sleet
#

same idea as tracking coup really, just a bit more important

coral bear
#

Is it better to Vanish shadowstrike into Evis DN
or Vanish Shuriken into evis DN?

empty bobcat
#

can easily get to 1100 haste, DS wants crit though?

coral bear
#

why would they want crit?

#

its a confirmed crit on evis no?

empty bobcat
#

ah yes makes sense

coral bear
#

better to get mastery for a stronger finisher?

empty bobcat
#

Im very mastery heavy

empty bobcat
#

should be good 1100 haste seems no problem with flask

left ledge
#

crit and mastery are both good on DS

empty bobcat
#

u use different order on opener right? like I go into dance with no CP ?

grim wasp
left ledge
#

1100 is for deathstalker

#

not trickster

coral bear
#

dance macabre?

upbeat cradle
#

oh if i craft engineering bracers and boots with haster i'd only be 50 haste short of 1100

coral bear
left ledge
#

DS is low cp

#

trickster is high CP

upbeat cradle
#

oh wait no 14 forgot oils

#

seems like i could give it a try

small sleet
#

woops

empty bobcat
#

ima try today ๐Ÿ™‚ just need to get used to DN

small sleet
#

wrogn person

surreal orbit
#

im intrigued by the DS train but 50 haste short

grim wasp
upbeat cradle
#

trickster is better overall

left ledge
#

trickster is better for aoe

upbeat cradle
#

there always are something you can pad on

left ledge
#

DS is better for ST

#

idk i mean i wouldve rank 1 lura overall

grim wasp
left ledge
#

if i didnt troll two blades

surreal orbit
#

DS for crown?

left ledge
#

its just bad at cleave and aoe

coral bear
upbeat cradle
#

for CP

#

because shadowstrike has a slight delay

grim wasp
upbeat cradle
#

before being able to use it after dance

coral bear
#

CP?

#

Combo points

#

oh

upbeat cradle
#

ye

coral bear
#

So why not do it when i vanish?

upbeat cradle
#

i think it takes like 0.5s for game to aknowledge you can use shadowstrike after shadowdance or something

small sleet
#

because the slight delay doesnt matter when you vanish because youre not in shadow dance

#

its more like .2s

left ledge
# coral bear Can u tell me the logic behind Shuriken storm instantly after dance? is it for m...

so when you're going into dance you are GCD locked by default as rogue, the problem with current sub is our haste scales our dance duration to something within the .x place, so the thing is we would ideally want to shadowstrike but shadowstrike is only available after you stance switch to stealth/dance and that has a delay so because your dance is like 9.2 sec or w/e if you try to strike you're losing some of that .x time and you'll end up losing a GCD due to that, storm doesnt require waiting for the stance swap and so can be used instantly

upbeat cradle
#

as DS, if you got 2 stacks of DN, you wanna wait to use one before going into dance ?

left ledge
#

if sectec is up you're not waiting

small sleet
#

also if you're entering dance with dn up, shuriken storming first allows you to apex your dn evis

upbeat cradle
#

so basically playt it like trickster

upbeat cradle
left ledge
#

no dont play it like trickster

coral bear
#

curious

empty bobcat
#

flask + neck ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Im all set bois

coral bear
#

32WAIT IT WORKS

#

I DANCED > SHURIKEN AND IT PROCED

#

LOL

#

OPS

#

SHURIKEN - DANCE

left ledge
#

you dance on low combo points and you are prioritizing apex on supercharged (this one is like trickster) and all DN casts

small sleet
surreal orbit
#

how much of a crime is it to dance knowing youll have Sectec off CD for like 3-5 before you get another charge of dance

coral bear
#

Oh, it only works if i have clone

coral bear
left ledge
#

trickster or DS

surreal orbit
#

trick

small sleet
#

kinda bad

left ledge
#

outside of blades thats bad

small sleet
#

no reason to do it

left ledge
#

just wait for sectec

small sleet
#

outside of blades

left ledge
#

inside of blades if its your second dance you wont have sectec up until the tail end of the dance

surreal orbit
#

gotcha was just curious, ive been holding

left ledge
#

yeah trickster just holds for sectec everytime (outside of second dance in blades)

#

sectec very strong on trickster

upbeat cradle
#

GUYS MY RAID LEAD SAID I COULD SOAK THREE AOE ON CHIMAERUS

#

i'm gonna be padding like crazy

left ledge
#

isnt that bad

#

i thought the shield hp was more less than the mob hp

#

or less sorry

#

if its more thats good for pad ig

small sleet
#

i prefer the "accidentally" miss your soak, and stay on boss the whole fight

left ledge
#

yeah ngl ive been too low energy to pad for the past few expansions lmao

upbeat cradle
#

sometimes the big adds takes too long to die on our second group, so at least i'll be there to make it die faster

small sleet
#

i cant stand going into down phase, popping blades, and they all get phased with 12s left on blades

#

feels so stupid running back to boss

upbeat cradle
#

i think that only happens on the second add pop ?

swift tinsel
#

first soak feels nice bc you can farm coup into a fresh post-blades sectech

#

and onetap all the mobs

#

but ye first soak after intermish is bad times

surreal orbit
#

ive been doing hella raids and im actually out of cata charges? are they bugged?

empty bobcat
#

ok tracking DN is pretty easy, one question - I am used to start dance with sectec, on DS you wanna dance and evis first to consume DN then sectec right?

real panther
#

!stats

empty bobcat
#

so at least fit a buffed evis and a sectec into dance right?

#

or is it ok to dance without sectec

swift tinsel
#

you wanna sc both dn and sectech if you can

#

especially sc apex dn

upbeat cradle
#

is DN evi higher prio than sectech ?

swift tinsel
#

yes

#

for ds sectech isn't as strong

#

and a supercharged apexed dn is huge

small sleet
#

you want to dn first to remark the boss so your sectech takes a mark away also

empty bobcat
#

so when I get the buff I always wanna have a dance rdy right?

#

then evis then continue with everything else

real panther
#

there is no deminishing return on crit? it says mast=crit, but at what point should I all in mastery?

left ledge
#

wym by buff

#

DN?

empty bobcat
#

yea

left ledge
#

no

empty bobcat
#

its a buff right?

small sleet
left ledge
#

you will be sending DN alone at times

empty bobcat
#

ok ic

swift tinsel
empty bobcat
#

ah ok

#

icic

left ledge
#

you want to make sure your dance can fit a sectec in it

swift tinsel
#

lean more on mastery if you can but that's up to your available gear

empty bobcat
#

so I just dont care about DN? xD like how to I optimize for it

left ledge
#

you do care

swift tinsel
#

you care a lot

left ledge
#

you proc apex for it

empty bobcat
#

I dont get it hahaa

real panther
left ledge
#

but you dont just send dances purely for DN

swift tinsel
#

see me saying you want to sc apex it

empty bobcat
#

sure but I do if I can right?

left ledge
#

not if you cant sectec

swift tinsel
left ledge
#

so lets say sectec is 4 sec away

#

and you have DN

swift tinsel
#

it really doesn't matter

left ledge
#

you can dance

empty bobcat
#

so like I have it up and cant dance so I just do a regular evis and then maybe on the next DN i can dance right?

left ledge
#

if sectec is like 12 sec away

#

and you have DN

#

you're not dancing

real panther
swift tinsel
#

just get 700 haste and whatever crit/mastery you have with that gear

#

can aim for heavier mastery if you want

empty bobcat
#

yeah ok I get that so its liek trickster

real panther
#

all good then

swift tinsel
#

but it doesn't reall matter

empty bobcat
#

I can dance if sectec is 5s away

real panther
empty bobcat
#

for example

left ledge
#

yes

small sleet
#

you shouldnt dance on trickster when sectech is 5s away

left ledge
#

thats fine

empty bobcat
#

cool cool

upbeat cradle
#

anyways, i'll try the 3 soak strat to pad and will cmoe back with my results later on

small sleet
#

unless youre in blades

left ledge
#

ideally

#

you want to line up DN for dance

empty bobcat
#

sounds easy then ty

left ledge
#

and fit sectec in it

#

it plays itself most of the time

empty bobcat
#

okok

left ledge
#

just dont force anything

minor osprey
#

@left ledge do you have a pov posted anywhere

left ledge
#

only thing to "force" is apex on DN

left ledge
#

not sure why

#

i have auto upload

small sleet
#

he deleted the vod because i asked for it yesterday

#

:/

left ledge
#

did twitch change something with vods

small sleet
#

no clue lmao

empty bobcat
#

oh and deathstalker burst is not that strong right, at least thats what I noticed

left ledge
#

genuinely no idea why it didnt upload

minor osprey
#

what's you twitch

left ledge
#

just not as consistently strong as trickster

empty bobcat
#

ok right

left ledge
#

but on both ive hit ~350k ST burst

surreal orbit
#

but are you using gloomblade

empty bobcat
#

yeah maybe because I did not try with BL

left ledge
#

no im not using gloomblade

warm marlin
left ledge

#

I will try get a good parse on vorasius tonight :3

left ledge
#

and ill mark the cancelaura moments

#

for all to see

#

the grandeur of sub rogue

small sleet
#

incoming tragic death right after hitting blades next week

left ledge
#

nah honestly

#

im quite sick

#

so yday i was about to pass out raiding

warm marlin
#

I played fdk on reclear this week and got 7 obelisks and 5 puddle drops on alleria

upbeat cradle
warm marlin
#

and then was told I was still on rogue duty soaking every double soak on beloren

left ledge
warm marlin
#

but as a dk

left ledge
#

gloomblade is joining the ranks of shuriken combo, shadowdust, and deathly shadows

#

never to see the light of day

#

ever again

warm marlin
#

fun fact dk takes less damage from the double soak than rogue does

upbeat cradle
#

i use it when i run low keys just for fun dogeKek

#

it's so bad

left ledge
#

gloomblade itself is actually

#

quite a good talent

minor osprey
left ledge
#

its just you have to give up a lot to get it

upbeat cradle
#

yeah but you remove a better talent to use it

warm marlin
left ledge
#

it should be baseline

#

idk why we have backstab

upbeat cradle
#

yes

#

i also think instant poison should be shadow damage for us

left ledge
#

well

#

dark brew does that

#

its just we never get to take it

upbeat cradle
#

oh right

#

well it should be baseline

left ledge
#

we used to a long time ago

minor osprey
left ledge
#

but that ended up being spamming gloomblade

#

for 90% of your gcds

swift tinsel
#

should replace with Cool Shadow Poison That Does Something Interesting

warm marlin
warm marlin

a little more than 50% of your hp

swift tinsel
empty bobcat
#

ah no forget it, it used different boots mb

#

then it should be fine

minor osprey
#

never soaking again then im snitching to the raid leader

left ledge
warm marlin
#

actually i may have had disc shields

small sleet
#

our entire guild minus the tanks does the group soaks and we just stack em on beloren

warm marlin
#

but its still similar

small sleet
#

or rather

#

on the fight, not stacking em on the boss

minor osprey
#

we tried on our reclear

#

it;s not too bad

small sleet
#

does everybody still hold for cds on reclear or can you just zerg boss down

minor osprey
#

i didn't

#

:DDDDD

#

dont know about my jailmates

small sleet
#

LOL

warm marlin
#

ye this was the only time i took it straight raw with no healer external aid

#

but like it doesnt do damage idk

#

rogue it was dropping me to 20% with feint dance

surreal orbit
#

click for aura boost

latent remnant
#

if I recraft/regem to accomodate for the haste I'm losing with this I'm supposedly losing damage (according to sim)
should I just take extra bonus roll to try rolling for myth versions of the nexus rings instead

surreal orbit
#

what do they know

somber sun
vale pine
surreal orbit
#

would like to learn the crown pad tech

warm marlin
#

every top crown log from every spec looks the exact same

#

they are 8 miles ahead of the rest of their raid in p1 because they're the only ones properly using the damage amp

alpine wraith
#

they get sent alone to 3rd add with cds yea

warm marlin
#

and then its a normal log from there on

surreal orbit
#

what is a realistic non-pad dps number to hit on crown? no bullshit raid funneling or anything like that

#

like if theres an effort from these groups to get 1 player to a top parse Ill ignore those for sanity sake

warm marlin
#

idk if its malicious like that

#

but like this week i held 90s for 10s like prog

#

when they came back up on 3rd add he was already dead

summer peak
#

!stats

summer peak
#

for raid, i have double the mastery of crit, doenty really matter does it?

hazy breach
#

Sim would probably want you to shift a little bit of it, but the difference is gonna be minor either way

echo dawn
summer peak
#

only prob im having with sum is its having me have so little haste where im trying to stay at 700

swift tinsel
#

once I max bracers and add socket I'm gonna have to do some shenanigans to drop like 24-30 haste

#

probs take haste off crafted belt and swap some gems

#

managed myth cloak bracers boots and guidon yesterday pepe_chad

surreal orbit
echo dawn
#

yeah because you get 2 uses in p1 doing that and therefore 200k+ but thats "padding"

warm marlin
#

you want to send at 10s if you can because you let the amp stack a bit on the first mob

echo dawn
#

use on the add that gets the highest stacks

warm marlin
#

but if you are gonna lose a use you either send insta and try to fit the second in or wait for higher stacks ig

hazy breach
#

@small sleet I have a gearset now where i have more mastery than haste even after popping guidon so I don't even need to bother popping recklessness before trinket garf_sit

#

Practically no crit but I drop finality for tfd anyway and it's fine

hazy breach
#

With mastery flask that is

#

But still

warm marlin
#

the real tech is vanish reckpot -> swap crit flask cds

summer peak
#

only ever used lights

marble sail
#

reck pumps

small sleet
#

The ultimate tech is to pre pot reck with haste gearset, then shadow dance cancelaura reck pot, then mastery reck pot activate guidon and sectech all in one global

#

Iโ€™m bringing this spec to new heights just you wait

warm marlin
#

this is yuge for seat first pull

small sleet

I want someone to try that I just donโ€™t want it to be me

#

It's a more efficient way of spending my hate

wheat edge
#

why hate melee chars when casters exist?

swift tinsel
#

I'm slowing sneaking outlaw kills in

#

or keys

#

they'll never catch me

upbeat cradle
#

I wish i could play outlaw

swift tinsel
#

I can't commit to getting a full gearset for it but its been fun

#

bc that means farming seat and no thanks

upbeat cradle
#

If i play outlaw I'll just level one of my rogue alts to gear it

small sleet
#

I canโ€™t be asked learning outlaw because I donโ€™t wanna do lower keys to practice and I donโ€™t wanna try to do higher keys and grief

finite lynx
#

true

swift tinsel
#

its actually not too terribly complicated

#

"how many combo points do I have and how many opportunity stacks do I have"

timid rose
small sleet
#

Yeah but like, I have to get pretty good at it to outperform sub

finite lynx
#

the only thing i dont like about sub in M+ is that i feel extra useless when theres 2 or 3 things left at sub 5% hp that just arent dying because everyone else is outside of CDs too and charging up for the next pack

upbeat cradle
#

Don't try to outperform sub. Try to outperform the other classes

small sleet
#

I can barely do that on sub lmao

vale osprey
#

!up

small sleet
#

Idk if outlaw was like significantly ahead of sub Iโ€™d probably learn it but I can make only playing sub work this season and not feel bad

swift tinsel
#

I just like it because it feels more engaging in keys

#

and its decently fun in raid

small sleet
#

I find sub fun enough in keys still, but outlaw is definitely more engaging lmao

swift tinsel
#

both sub and sin devolve into storm/fok->bp/envenom which turns me off from them

#

granted sub is bs/strike->evisc a good amount of the time

astral axle
#

ya i hear ya

solemn patrol
#

Fatebound outlaw is a vibe, trickster is just perform significantly worse on so I don't touch it

astral axle
#

sometimes it is the vibe tho

#

just wanna borpaspin

swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't mind some kind of fun proc for sub to play around

#

I don't count apex in that because it doesn't really change anything

solemn patrol
hazy breach
# summer peak is reck ever usable?

In big AoE situations with AoE talents its often better to use Potion of Recklessness for mastery instead of the usual Light's Potential. If you are using Light Company Guidon be sure to use the potion before the trinket as you do not want it to give you a ton of haste.

swift tinsel
solemn patrol
#

DS is more fun on sin than sub

swift tinsel
#

I'm just personally not a fan of playing around DN/marks

#

feels more like awkward babysitting than reward

small sleet
#

Apexed supercharged dn eviscerate feels pretty satisfying

swift tinsel
#

which is funny bc they directly aimed to gut big modifier stacking like that lol

alpine wraith
#

and apex and DN do not even work well with all the evis hits

#

from shadowed etc and amps

#

kekw

sacred magnet
#

!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.

sacred magnet
#

if the sim gives me 600 haste with equipped items, should i ignore it and put 700 still?

#

or always trust the bot?

hallow mortar
#

always trust the bot

hollow spear
#

The bot is a fake news merchant for sub unfortunately

#

It forgets that we're human

hallow mortar
#

are we

regal pollen
#

also that latency exists

hollow spear
#

Nah, I'm an animal

#

Which is why I only need 900 haste for deathstalker, trust me bro

regal pollen
hollow spear
#

Nah, they're still humans in a furry suit

willow mantle
alpine wraith
#

usually rogue is brung to do more boss dmg than overall

#

so guidon is better

hazy breach
#

M+ is notoriously difficult to accurately sim, with subs haste cdr and breakpoint dslice is more janky than ever

small sleet
#

I donโ€™t think pbox will even do more overall than guidon

hazy breach
#

^

alpine wraith
#

who knows as eleem said it is very krangled

#

because it also desyncs uses

willow mantle
#

yeah it feels shitty to use

alpine wraith
#

making only half of your blades super strong

#

vs every one

hazy breach
#

Issue with puzzlebox is that you go insanely deep into diminishing returns on mastery if you pop mastery pot with it

#

So you'd rather pop agility pot

#

But if you dont have puzzlebox to give you that enormous mastery boost, its fine to use mastery pot

swift tinsel
#

imo it makes more sense to lean into sub's st in keys with guidon

hazy breach
#

So the burst from puzzlebox is negated by a lot anytime you pot

willow mantle
#

but with guidon its better to go reckless?

alpine wraith
#

we remember when shit drs didnt exist

#

and we had fun

hazy breach
#

Especially since you also want to have high baseline mastery for when you are not in cds

#

So if you have like 1.3k mastery already without pot, it makes more sense to get guidon for longer dances and an additional sectech in blades, rather than massively diminished mastery from box

hallow mortar
#

so tldr is use puzzle with mastery pot and guidon with haste pot

small sleet
#

No

alpine wraith
#

kek

radiant swift
#

what

hazy breach
#

Thats the "too long cant read"

#

Not "too long didnt read"

small sleet
#

LOL

radiant swift
#

do u guys have that much base mastery?

alpine wraith
#

my dog ate my homework

small sleet
#

Eleem is a mastery merchant

swift tinsel
#

I think I'm at ~900-1k mastery

alpine wraith
#

we love mastery

radiant swift
#

same

velvet jay
#

Just to be sure, do I need to switch Weaponmaster for 2/2 Finality on single target?

frail kindle
#

im perfecting my ds gearset

vale pine
#

mastery is good, so why not

radiant swift
#

idk if id pop mastery pot with that no?

hallow mortar
#

you always need to double down on your higher stat

frail kindle
#

down with crit up with mastery

hallow mortar
#

thats the way to glory

small sleet
#

I have like 1100 flasked I think

swift tinsel
#

I'm pretty close to even between crit and mastery

#

which I'm cool with

hazy breach
#

Mastery is just whacko good in big aoe, in ST you want more equal spreads

swift tinsel
#

I could probs squeak out more mastery if I swap pit neck to crafted

#

but eh

radiant swift
#

is patchwerk like 7bosses 3min or smth so0mewhat reliable?>

hazy breach
#

This potent powder talent is quite good, who wouldve thought

swift tinsel
#

I'm doing less keys as sub now

#

imagine if clones benefit from it

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

yehaw

timid rose
#

my base mastery is like 1100 unbuffed

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

oh interessting

swift tinsel
#

but I do have my dk decently geared lol

hazy breach
vale pine
#

i see more and more players gravitate to dk latelay

fallow nimbus
#

The lura neck + my current max itemlvl gear sims higher than crown neck and possible other item combinations kekw

hallow mortar
#

finally im fully socked surely got my gudion soon

hazy breach
#

But its not really a full representation of an entire m+ key

radiant swift
swift tinsel
#

I haven't done many keys til this week with needing a lot of crests and being uncapped

vale pine
#

dk being soo strong for so long and basically a ranged dps

#

kinda appeals to people

radiant swift
#

no im just wondering for like a semi aoe pull

swift tinsel
#

yeah dk is just really really really good

hazy breach
hallow mortar
#

i dont like DK gameplay

warm marlin
regal pollen
#

still annoying you cant macro guidon into your burst macro

timid rose
#

I don't like plate classes at all ๐Ÿ™

radiant swift
vale pine
#

turns out being a cosistently top dps, invincible, pseudo melee is better than playing a class that rolls the die of viability every tier

swift tinsel
#

rider unholy just has the most ridiculously insane kit

#

by miles

warm marlin
#

It is also way way easier to reroll the last 2 seasons compared to.. any time since early df

radiant swift
swift tinsel
#

oh yeah my alts have gone from like 195 quest gear to 260-280 in like a week

radiant swift
#

sims -1.3% tho

swift tinsel
#

its wild

vale pine
warm marlin
vale pine
#

rotations are so simple now that they became mostly irrelevant

hazy breach
vale pine
#

so qoality of life and op niches is more appealing

swift tinsel
#

yeah picking up and playing most specs now is like a 5min endeavor

warm marlin
#

Frost is fun

radiant swift
hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

frost def more fun, just unfortunately notably less good in keys

hallow mortar
hazy breach
#

If its simming negative you probably get crit from it

swift tinsel
#

by virtue of unholy being the best in the game

radiant swift
#

oe sec

warm marlin
#

Unholy also gains resources in aoe which is always cool

radiant swift
#

i have masteryt the most

swift tinsel
#

ye

#

just bonkers scaling

warm marlin
#

Funnel is great

swift tinsel
#

infinite resources

#

can't die unless you want to

rancid crow
#

Crit and verse now?

small sleet
#

U have crit flask on

#

In that sim

velvet jay
small sleet
#

Which is prob making ur crit higher

vale pine
warm marlin
#

ye

vale pine
#

dk is just allowed to have more niches

swift tinsel
#

if they didn't super gut it in aoe

#

for sin

small sleet
wheat edge
#

arms warrior is also a banger atm, spec is actually pretty complex

radiant swift
swift tinsel
#

ye I've been having a lot of fun as arms

small sleet
#

Default is crit flask

warm marlin
#

I might try warrior to play arms for the first time

radiant swift
#

omg i didnt see

#

crit

swift tinsel
#

its good fun

#

big chunky buttons

warm marlin
#

I need .7 to drop so I can level my Druid shaman hunter warrior

swift tinsel
#

really good prio dmg

lilac stag
#

Still too much slam

wheat edge
#

I am a slayer enjoyer tho cause collosus ST is just depresseo expresso

swift tinsel
#

just proc heroic strike more

wheat edge
#

also bladestorm is a fun button

small sleet
radiant swift
wheat edge
#

but I like that there is actually some thought behind most globals

small sleet
swift tinsel
#

yeah, been playing a mix of slayer and colossus and they've both pretty neat

lilac stag
#

arms still mid for me. Theyโ€™re still missing the boat with ability pruning and slam

radiant swift
swift tinsel
#

getting a bunch of sudden death procs and ginsu'ing everything with Reap the Storm procs

lucid jackal
#

Colossus aoe arms is literally 50 buttons

velvet jay
wheat edge
lilac stag
#

it already had enough abilities. They managed to make it worse

swift tinsel
#

I don't like having rend

lilac stag
#

Fury still flows nicely.

swift tinsel
#

could do away with that

lilac stag
#

and does more than tank ST dmg

swift tinsel
#

I haven't played much fury, might give it a go

wheat edge
#

I kinda feel weird about sweeping strikes, cause colossus smash gives it and the CDR on that is so crazy high that the few times u have to actually cast sweeping it feels bad

swift tinsel
#

ye

velvet jay
#

Ew, I thought I was in the rogue discord!

wheat edge
swift tinsel
#

also execute rotation is a little bland

#

for arms

lilac stag
wheat edge
#

I like that there is a difference between execute and normal rotation tho, wish assa for example had that garf

swift tinsel
#

yeah its like double execute for precision stacks, one random global, mortal strike

wheat edge
#

the random global is either HS or overpower for rage tho most of the time so idk I like it

swift tinsel
#

yep

#

kinda like survival

#

with tip

lilac stag
#

FDK is my most enjoyable out of the uh/fdk/arms/fury testing

swift tinsel
#

probs same

somber sun
wheat edge
#

havoc is still my favorite alt

swift tinsel
#

maybe havoc

wheat edge
#

rogue > havoc > arms = frost >>>> uhdk

lilac stag
#

Both dk specs are more enjoyable than both warrior specs

swift tinsel
#

the moment AR mover havoc is playable (which is not a thing anymore bc you can't take glaive and move talents) I'd be elated

wheat edge
#

I mean inertia is just the most simple button of all time kekw

lilac stag
#

summoning your army and actually having long arms in melee is so nice

swift tinsel
#

fitting double blade dance wounded quarry dmg into an inertia window

timid rose
#

monk is my favorite main, rogue is my new favorite alt that i'm currently maining for raid and keys

lilac stag
#

rip acrobatic strikes

swift tinsel
odd laurel
#

!stats

wheat edge
#

my plan for season 2 is to have a 2nd rogue garf

swift tinsel
#

I'm waiting for s2 info before I start planning

lucid jackal
#

Rogue + warrior + monk

wheat edge
#

windwalker is appealing

swift tinsel
#

its always a fun choice

lilac stag
#

if we donโ€™t have raid utility I think itโ€™s back to Warrior or Red Rogue

wheat edge
#

idk what I think about the long fist channel tho kekw

swift tinsel
#

that parts my biggest gripe

#

feels like an eternity channel

lilac stag
#

@warm marlin any update on the flex role?

swift tinsel
#

if I don't play rogue, which is entirely possible based on how things go for next season, it's probs war or havoc but also depends on rest of raid comp

small sleet
#

Most fun alt is survival hunter imo

swift tinsel
#

prefer not to be 4th or 5th dh lol

swift tinsel
#

survival is pretty neat

warm marlin
#

But I havenโ€™t played rogue in 2 weeks now

#

Dk all reclear yesterday

lilac stag
#

I got rogue to 289.7 and only loot that is an upgrade is from stuff we havenโ€™t killed

warm marlin
#

Thought Iโ€™d have to do it for beloren silly me

swift tinsel
#

I'm trying to enjoy rogue but its been a test of will

warm marlin
#

Dk can also just do all soaks

#

And be healthier

lilac stag
#

and grip

#

Just popping ams before each soak is enough?

swift tinsel
#

sunk cost fallacy keeping me crest farming lmao

wheat edge
#

just ran 16m options in the sim just for the only change to be swapping the gem between neck and helm garf

lucid jackal
#

Our guild has no monk player and monk is randomly God on some patches

wheat edge
#

boiled an ocean for that..

lucid jackal
#

Seems useful to have prepped

swift tinsel
#

ye ww seems to come from the top rope randomly

lilac stag
#

You just want that sweet pi juice

lucid jackal
#

It's randomly God and also nobody talks about it

lilac stag
#

our WW does very well

lucid jackal
#

Even this tier on shit like beloren it's op

warm marlin
left ledge
#

yeah our ww do pretty good all the time

lilac stag
#

She ascends with PI

swift tinsel
#

right, ours came out of nowhere bursting like a fiend

#

totally overshadowed by brewmaster hype

#

meanwhile all three specs fuck hard

#

actually

#

is this the first time all three monk specs have had a crazy tier at the same time

warm marlin
#

I think brew was good in keys in tww2 but not sure

#

Both the other 2 were great in raid

swift tinsel
#

ah ye forgot mw was also good that season

#

I think s2 tww was vdh dominated

#

looks like brew was bottom rep

wheat edge
#

that spec just does not exist anymore does it

swift tinsel
#

vdh got pretty neutered

#

its just a weird spec

#

kinda bdk, kinda paladin

left ledge
#

neutered is like

#

an understatement

#

having your entire survivability tied to an RNG proc

#

is actually insane

tepid trellis
lucid jackal
#

Why was

#

It still blows up eggs no?

ripe flame
#

Still is but was more op (?

lucid jackal
#

Was it? I'm asking idk

#

Did it get nerf r smthing

tepid trellis
#

the specific thing they played was nuked

#

that made them insanely op

strange chasm
#

It's still doing insanely well now no?

#

Not even limited to bel but all bosses

tepid trellis
#

its still among the top 3

#

but was by far the best before

lucid jackal
#

Well it would have been better than me on the bench garf_sit

tepid trellis

just be in 5head

wicked joltBOT
ember hull
#

what sim setting in raidbots is most accurate for myth lura

ember hull
#

just pure patchwerk

left ledge
#

yes

#

there's only like 3 sets of adds that last a couple seconds in p1

#

majority of the fight is pure ST

empty bobcat
#

think Im too stupid for DS xD i am unable to even come close to what sims give me on dps haha

#

no idea why

small sleet
#

The adds also are not even remotely tough to kill at this point so you donโ€™t really have to contribute meaningfully to them

ember hull
#

i see a lot of the top logs swapping between weaponmaster and and extra point in finality do we have an opinion on that

small sleet
#

Weaponmaster is bugged, finality is slightly better

left ledge
small sleet
#

It somewhere in the pins about weaponmaster

ember hull
#

ah i see

#

ty ty

left ledge
#

DS isnt incredibly far ahead and requires playing in ways i dont think the FAQ fully explains

ember hull
#

starting lura prog this week gettin ready

left ledge
#

its just better overall to play trickster

summer peak
#

LF 1 Haste

left ledge
oak sorrel
#

doesn't DS also require you to have like 300+ more haste than you would otherwise have to even be better

left ledge
#

its actually a range between 684-700

summer peak
fiery fog
#

ds is ~1100 haste

pallid jackal
#

What bis list do you guys adhere? There are several across the guides

empty bobcat
#

also DS cant fit a 2nd sectec into blades or am I just r*tarded?

left ledge
#

DS needs 1100 haste

#

or else its not better

empty bobcat
#

oooh ok

fiery fog
#

ds dmg comes from darkest night procs in dance i think

left ledge
#

it can be in the dance

#

just not in the blades

#

something i often do is i send second dance in blades as DS without sectec

#

and then just dance a third time after with sectec

small sleet
oak sorrel
#

me when my first st global in my big cooldown is shuriken storm

left ledge
#

as you can see

fiery fog
left ledge
#

DS is odd

empty bobcat
#

maybe I am just too used to the dance with full CP stuff that I mess it up

left ledge
#

it requires a deeper understanding of when to send a dance

#

as opposed to trickster

upbeat cradle
#

1100 with or without guidon ?

left ledge
#

with

#

dont play DS without guidon imo

graceful rock
#

Does the mark transfer in Lura p3?

left ledge
#

and you cant use Death Mark

#

make sure to have DN up

graceful rock
#

Ainโ€™t no way

left ledge
#

yes

#

while phasing from p2 to p3

#

i ensure to have DN up

#

then i build sht stacks

graceful rock
#

Whatโ€™s the point of the button KEKW

left ledge
#

i dont press it

graceful rock
#

Can you vanish and reapply?

left ledge
#

not while mark is up

small sleet
#

Prob cuz the previous boss despawns so thereโ€™s no mark to move

graceful rock
#

Oh yeah

#

Wait

left ledge
#

just make sure to have DN

fiery fog
left ledge
#

it naturally lines up

small sleet
#

Or is it just bugged as hell

left ledge
#

its not hard to do trust me ive played a lot of DS on lura

#

when you're going from p2 to p3

#

just have DN up

#

and dont finish until she's done with severance

graceful rock
#

Yeah I mean I just auto boss before severance any way so itโ€™s prob nbd

hollow spear
#

I've just swapped over to ayije cdm and it shows the icon for all the buffs I've selected in CDM

left ledge
#

yea its fine

hollow spear
#

any way to turn that off?

left ledge
graceful rock
#

I wanna try DS in reclear this week since I got some haste pieces

left ledge
#

because the p3 lura spawns after the p2 one despawns

fiery fog
#

xdd

upbeat cradle
#

aight my plan is

left ledge
#

i mean on lura at least its not a big deal

#

you have infinite time to have DN up

graceful rock
#

Is p4 cooked?

upbeat cradle
#

craft mastery engineer bracers and boots

left ledge
#

legit you have like 15 seconds

upbeat cradle
#

then craft haste engineer bracers and boots

left ledge
#

i send a dance right before the final p2 cast that knocks you into p3

#

and then i just ensure i have DN up for after severance

#

right before as in before she even begins the cast

#

sometime around when the last orbs are about to pop

#

then i send a dance after severance and then i pool for lust

graceful rock
#

Do you use a blades dance storm macro or 2 separate ones?

left ledge
#

i have a blades dance storm

#

and dance storm

graceful rock
#

Okay same

fiery fog
#

ima just stay on trickster

left ledge
#

yeah i mean trickster is fine

fiery fog
#

send dance sectec on cd and chill

left ledge
#

boss damage should not be a problem atp

#

we push as we're going to the last pizza slice

#

we dont even get to see the mechanic

#

which also means you wont get 2 blades in p3 if you push that early

fiery fog
#

we are 300 pulls in and managed to soak the p2->p3 intermission once

#

we are cooked

left ledge
#

yeah dw

#

we struggled with that too

#

we saw p2->p3 like

#

8 times

#

before we finally did it

#

lmao

fiery fog
#

feels great to wipe 3hours in p1-i1-p2

#

to the same stuff

left ledge
#

thats lura :)

#

be glad they changed glaives

#

that shit was actual cancer

#

half our wipes were always in p1

#

because glaives were just so bad

fiery fog
#

glaives isnt our problem

#

the nerfs probably wont do much for our progress

left ledge
#

if it makes you feel better

#

p3 is VERY easy

fiery fog
left ledge
#

the fight is actually so heavily loaded into p1

upbeat cradle
#

don't worry guys, they reduced glaives from 3min to 2, then to 1 min, next patch they will remove them altogether

left ledge
#

all you need to worry about in p3 is constellations

#

you can take infinite time with soaks and memory game

upbeat cradle
#

it's the only logical thing to do

left ledge
#

like memory game comes out, you can literally wait for the constellation to spawn AND despawn

#

before you do it

#

and its still lenient

fiery fog
#

we are constantly wiping because crystal carriers get hit by memory lasers/intermission beams/spread circles all the time

left ledge
#

yeah

#

thats gonna happen

#

fight is carried by them

fiery fog
#

it happens 3/3 hours

left ledge
#

i mean you cant wipe otherwise

#

thats why it seems that way

#

like if non seed holder fucks off and dies

#

nobody cares

small sleet
#

Thatโ€™s why you gotta be one of the crystal carriers

pallid jackal
#

And from the bislist, what stats on the Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors? I am assuming haste or crit / mastery right?

left ledge
#

otherwise crit mastery

fiery fog
#

dont tunnel on bislists

#

its literally any item combination that gets you to ~684 haste (can be more, can be less) and as much crit/mastery as possible

pallid jackal
#

I am combining bislists with meticulously simming right now
