Play trickster. With current balance, turbo boost and ilvl your group gotta stop dps anyway

hollow spear
#

my group stops dps

#

I don't :^)

night sparrow
#

That's my secret :>

I’m sure they’re not pressing puzzle box in shroud or any possible spell casts when the time is at 1

  • as rogue you might have to soak since with a lil priest shield + feint you dont even need cloak
wispy crystal
#

Ah I see. Okay that makes sense.

night sparrow
#

(Yes I had 2 soaks and 2 back ups if needed pepehands )

wispy crystal
#

Thanks alot

just send a dance at pull and you're fine

I'm on trial for my mythic raiding guild. And they are on Baloren. So was looking at lorggs.io to understand when rogues use their CDs

#

Don't look at parses then, Beloren is a poor designed boss if you're not doing RWF

#

BTW any of you got a QoL m33kauras to track when deepening shadows gets updated ?

lilac stag
#

what do you need it for?

#

besides screen clutter

night sparrow
#

Nope with a sound

That's not this useful but just some QoL

Hello folks, i got a small question about Sub Rogue as i haven´t played WoW and Rogue since 6 Years.

I Play M+ 10 - 12 Keys quite often now and notice that my Overall DMG that i track with details!, shows me Secret Technique as nr1 dmg source. Looking at Players that play keys in my range having always Black Powder listed as nr1 dmg source.

I always use Secret Techniqe with SD and Ancient Arts Buff, plus the loaded Combopoint. next is the Coup de Grace, so my Black Powder casts get only AA buffs without loaded combos.

Am i doing something wrong?

lilac stag
#

i mean, just look at your trinket. once one sec is gone hit blades

#

if you want to get fancy make a timer bar in arc or whatever so you know when to snapshot second dance

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

Thanks, Obama!

lilac stag
#

his interview with colbert made me sad

wispy crystal
#

Single target is Sub rogue the top melee DPS at the moment in raid?

lilac stag
#

FDK

#

maybe SV. all three close

#

2/3 are fun to play. We have deathstalkermark dead

wispy crystal
#

Ah so next week single target raid boss. Will kept rogues be going death stalker to blast the meters?

somber sun
#

I mean trickster is already pumping

#

for way less effort

lilac stag
#

depends how much fucking around you want to do with gearing. 700 to 1100 haste isn’t practical for everyone.

wispy crystal
#

1100 haste damn. Okay didn't think of that.

#

As trickster if I have 660 haste is that fine while fully buffed?

Or do I need to hit 700 for the breakpoint

tribal vortex
#

684 is safer

vestal fog
#

is the haste baseline or is it when you use guidon

tepid trellis
#

with flask / oils

hollow spear
#

With 660 haste you better have not only oils on your character but also in your keyboard

#

And your server connection should be oiled up too

eternal light
#

Hey guys , how much boss dmg is funnel dmg for sub in m+?

hollow spear
#

Sub has no funnel

eternal light
#

Is it not better to shurikenstorm and evis then backstab evis?

hollow spear
#

If you pull stuff on the boss that doesn't have to die, ig you can

#

Not really consequential though, your damage outside of dances sucks anyway

#

And during dances you would strike

eternal light
#

Yea i mean just wandering how much better it is

#

Sometimes i rather let others pad andi get some boss dmg

#

But yea depends on the mobs that are getting pulled with the boss

chrome palm
#

You’re benefiting from them only outside of your cds so the gain is minimal

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.

Feint is in gcd never paid attention HOLY

hallow mortar

thank you

slim stag
#

Hey do you know for running deathstalker next week or the buff isn't enough

hallow mortar
#

im doing crystal so if i know i dont need to press better for me

plush roost
#

I play elusive

#

So it works 8)

hallow mortar
#

you are real gigachad

plush roost
#

Idk cheat feels whatever on lura

west tide
#

yeah i should run elusive nothin actually kills you on lura

tepid trellis
#

i wouldve died without it today

#

i got last sec sniped by a guy in intermission

west tide
#

my tank ran over me on p2 spread cause he got lost but cloak tyyy

#

ohh i thought a snipe just 1 shot

#

through cloak

plush roost
#

Yeah its got the dimmy thing

#

Where like

#

Cheat is good on some stuff

#

And elu is good on the other stuff

#

So up to u lowkey

#

I think with gear and healers becoming better

#

Cheats probably better

west tide
#

true

#

ds evasion node

plush roost
#

I liked elu cause it helped the heal check in intrrmission/p2 a lot

west tide
#

we up

plush roost
#

But p3 cheats kinda goated

west tide
#

can you live a constellation with cheat??

#

i havent hit one yet we are almost done with p3

tepid trellis
#

if you move away after the first tick yes

#

if you stand still

west tide
#

ahh ok

plush roost
#

If u arent afk ye

tepid trellis
#

it will kill you through it

plush roost
#

Honestly talents builds are so w.e on lura

#

The real tech

#

Is the triangle tech

#

If u see a triangle of constellations in p3

#

Ur guaranteed safe if u stand in it

#

Big hot tip!

i think the only time i dropped remotely low on lura was glaives

Hey guys, what's the % loss if you danse+sectec instead of danse+storm now we play DS ?

does anyone know if the 1% extra night elf haste at night appears on the character sheet? trying to recraft my gear down to 700 haste but im afraid i might be overshooting it

lilac stag
#

Just open a calculation app and add gear if you’re not sure. It doesn’t help get you what you need for dance

hollow spear
narrow tendon
#

yeah i just summed the haste numbers from each gear piece I had and realized that

#

thanks guys

red vortex
#

well, here we go omg

tribal vortex
#

guys can I embelish engi head normally right ?

lusty gazelle
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

unless something drastically changed, answer is no.

#

You also really want to use tier helm as sub if possible.

tribal vortex
#

Also feet dropped in raid so I wanted to know if I can take so I embellish head

lilac stag
#

I mean. You’re going to need jewelry from crown or lura and likely replacing a tier piece. For mine it was two arcano, recrafts to haste/mastery, crown neck, npx mythic rings , pit daggie and 100 haste/mastery chest.

I can still make boots and mess around a bit more. Trying tho make changing out 700 to 1100 as easy as changing gear sets vs relying on recrafts.

#

You can move an embellishment to cloak and craft bracers with haste

#

As another alternative.

tribal vortex
#

the only non 289 items are head and feet that are crafted so I am trying to be max ilvl

#

1%dps doesn't really change anything

#

spore helmet will be good so it doesn't really matter I will change by then

lilac stag
#

289 vs 285 doesn’t either but on the bigger pieces I rather not have crafted.

tribal vortex
#

Yeah me too

lilac stag
#

belt and helm are going to get replaced so bracers/cloak/boots are all good options. Boots are an easy swap out for tricky to ds

#

Running crown heroic neck stunts my ilvl by .5 oh no hahah

tribal vortex
#

I play more assa than sub and I have the pit neck

lilac stag
#

I’m just trying to help you process shit. Can tell me to STFU.

tribal vortex
#

no worries all good

lilac stag
#

Are you progressing still?

tribal vortex
#

just killed bird

lilac stag
#

if it was me I’d say keep big ilvl for sub and math out what gets you the haste on the side pieces.

#

Recraft after prog

rancid crow
#

On a scale of 1-10, how no-no is first dance? 👉👈

lilac stag
#

Nothing else matters at this point.

#

you’ve got one fight to focus on

tribal vortex
#

I mostly play m+ and pugging so the higher ilvl the higher the amount of invites

#

one does what one has to do

lilac stag
#

They’re gonna see your ilvl regardless

tribal vortex
#

Yeah but I will trade it to another raider if I cannot use 😛

lilac stag
#

You’re using it for prog in raid. That is the entire point of raid loot.

tribal vortex
#

I mean someone that has hero feet need it more

#

I would take if I could embelish head otherwise no

lilac stag
#

I thought you got a helm

tribal vortex
#

i got feet

#

and wanted to recraft feet

lilac stag
#

No give feet away. Craft engineering feet

#

Buy mythic feet for 300k on ah

tribal vortex
#

yeah it's ok everything sims kinda sameihs

lilac stag
#

feet are / should be easy enough to target in m+

#

And just cata

on your main target

marble sail

In mythic do you use DS only on Vorasius and Lura

?

you can on any single target heavy encounter

crown is a good fight too

@hazy breach if you’re going into a pack with sectech up do you use shuriken storm before you send sectech to apply fazed?

plush roost

And storm would only proc it on your main target anyway (if unseen blade is ready)

Outlaw cranks boss tho

Unleas ur the double trouble bandit

#

Sub is gud in p3/4

#

Idk its kindof a play whatever youre most comfy on boss now

So far outlaw feels best imo, also enjoying the current playstyle

Hello ppl, i am currently pushing 20 keys.

As of now i am standing on this
Crit 839 Crit 642

Mastery 884 Mastery 1034

Keep in mind these stats are only affected by oil.

which one you think is best ?

are yall playing reckless potion in m+ despite so much mastery? im at like 1050 base and the pot pushes one so much into dr so wonderingbuhhmage

Hey I was told by some random that the guidon trinket pressage 1 sec before shadowdance doesn't matter. Is that true or are we still not trying to press dance right after guidon for deepening shadows to affect dance?

It matters

okay thanks!

#

1st boss cavern is ez no, spire firebird or duo?

keen steppe

duo

#

its more the damage i do on this bosses

#

bird is fine

quaint breach
#

spire trash is harder than bosses

peak ice
#

I find the 3rd spire boss to be worse

#

He just fucks around so much

The orb hitbox also feels pretty weirdge

#

looking at the notes for this Tuesday, haste will need around 1100 for Deathstalker builds, but how does this change the ratio for crit/mastery?

hollow spear
#

Priority is mastery

warm marlin
#

ds generally likes more mast but getting 1100 haste is hard

#

so kinda got to take what you can get

steady sail
#

Has anyone else had the interaction when you pre-cloak the dot application on Magister Terrace boss but it still gets applied? I dodged the first one but got hit by the second

sharp bolt
warm marlin
#

well dn makes evis a guaranteed crit

#

so eyes is even better

alpine wraith
warm marlin
#

but crit stat is worse

hollow spear
#

Crit is the worst stat for ds

steady sail
alpine wraith
#

first second of cloak is stronger and immnes more things

#

than after

#

so some things only work on the first second to immune but not after

steady sail
#

ah so maybe I sent too early

#

should have waited for it to apply and then clear with it to guarantee

#

did not know that, thanks for the tech

alpine wraith
#

uh well it depends i dont know about that debuff in particular

#

maybe someone that actually does m+ can tell you

sharp bolt
hollow spear
#

"only"

#

DN is incredibly big damage

peak ice
#

Kinda the reason it’s not a dead stat but is less than mastery

alpine wraith
#

it kinda gets equalized by the extra crit dmg

#

but still crit is not the best yea

hollow spear
#

Cramming two apexed DN into a dance feels so good

I’m getting a bug that stops me from casting my second dance after the first one ends while I’m in shadow blades. It also seems to not last as long as it’s supposed to when this happens, and isn’t just a visual bug, because it takes me back to my non stealth hotbar.

Anybody have a fix for this? It’s happening both with addons on and off

Wait longer between guidon and dancing

idk about p3 but (as melee) even having seed before then still feels like payphoning

probably a lot worse for rangeds though

p3 is easy if you know what a triangle is

Undusting my old sub rogue ive not used since late DF, how is it doing for the next patch in pve/pvp?

shrewd lantern
#

Let's ask the crystal ball.

hardy charm
#

thats either very good news, or a terrible omen

shrewd lantern
#

Who would know for next patch?

#

Not like sub is ever bad in pvp though.

#

Toolkit is too good.

hardy charm
#

-# excellent >:)

shrewd lantern
#

I mean when is rmp ever not good?

hardy charm
#

Glad to hear its still pretty good

shrewd lantern
#

Comp has been s tier since bc.

#

With the odd shift to rmd or rmpal

hardy charm
#

Not to sound old but, what the rmd and rmpal stand for again?

shrewd lantern
#

there's only one healer that starts with d

hardy charm
#

ah the arena team comp ofc...

#

staying off rogue for years has made me dumber

shrewd lantern
#

Well yeah thats where pvp balance matters.

is the deathstalker rotation the same as trickster rotation?

heady tangle

anyone got an ideal build that meets the haste requirement for deathstalker? 1100 is wicked i have 699 exactly lol

how you all handling 2nd dance in shadowblades?

#

just sending immediately? or lining up a DN with supercharger/apex?

steady osprey
# ruby sun is the deathstalker rotation the same as trickster rotation?

Pretty much, but the optimization for AA and Darkest Night is especially important for DS to work. That's the only major difference - it's a modest improvement to worry about it for trickster, but it's completely necessary for DS. In short, avoid sending DN without AA procced in most circumstances.

#

Also, if you have two supercharged combo points entering dance and you have both DN with AA and sectech available, send DN first.

jagged hamlet
#

think guide could probably be more clear about that

#

thank you

steady osprey
#

You are very welcome!

jagged hamlet
#

and yeah i just kinda assumed that would be the play, ngl its hard to get used to switching burst windows around but it feels.. fun? to play around with the mark and optimizing, rotating it etc

#

idk

#

but i also prob need to set up some reminder shit if i havnet transferred

steady osprey
#

It's much more fun than Trickster, I agree with you. There's more plates to spin and more places to make little mistakes, but when it works it feels great. Haste is especially important for DS, I should mention. The way it works didn't start lining up well until I got to around 1100, which is honestly not that hard to do. With 700-800 haste like in trickster, playing DS almost feels like you have a weird perma-lag for some reason.

shrewd lantern
#

I mean trickster gets cdr on sectech.

#

That's the entire reason DS goes for more haste.

steady osprey
#

One thing that really helped me with the AA procs, by the way, is going into cooldown manager and putting a cooldown bar under my character when it procs instead of relying on the smoke clouds on the sides of the character. That can be really hard to see when shit hits the fan.

#

That's certainly true, but I feel like it also helps you line up DNs between the first dance and entering the second dance during the blades window, especially since DN gets priority over sectech in DS.

shrewd lantern
#

pretty sure you still blades the same

#

Most of this is severely overthinking it

#

the core difference is ds dances at low points

#

compared to instantly ripping sectech

steady osprey
#

Would you consider sending DN only with AA overthinking it?

shrewd lantern
#

I mean the apex just kind of naturally happens

#

....not that I'd play DS on more than one boss

#

anyway

steady osprey
#

I assure you it does not. Very often, you have to SS multiple times to proc it.

shrewd lantern
#

Then you weren't pooling stech

#

That's kind of on you for continuing to build spend with sectech coming off soon.

steady osprey
#

I'm not sure I follow. What would be your advice for the other 18 seconds in which sectech is on cool down after being used?

shrewd lantern
#

!aa

wicked joltBOT
#

Apex talent optimization:

  • Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
    If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).
shrewd lantern
#

you just replaced supercharged with dn

#

its not more load really

steady osprey
#

This information has already been covered. My question to you is: how else you going to generate sht stacks without shadowstriking multiple times before the 2 second or so pool before sending a sec tech immediately off cooldown?

shrewd lantern
#

You pooled before going into blades

#

or rather into dance

#

you get a gorillion shadowtech during dances

steady osprey
#

I see. I'm not trying to argue, I'm genuinely interested in learning now to play DS better. I appreciate the advice.

shrewd lantern
#

have fun its only good on one boss

#

I mean not doing finishers before sectech is up has been a thing for awhile now

dire jolt
#

I think the apex is fun

shrewd lantern
#

I might bite the bullet and play DS on vora but realistically I might fuck around with outlaw on that boss.

#

already have my 99 on sub anyway

#

and sub getting stale

#

anyway

dire jolt
#

once you get the idea that you can add to your stored CPs to not cap energy while waiting for sec tec or coup it's nice QoL right?

shrewd lantern
#

maybe i go for the trinity and get a 99 on all 3 specs for the boss

shrewd lantern
#

and packed it into a "new" talent.

steady osprey
#

I'd be very impressed to see it happen on assassination!

shrewd lantern
#

lmfao

#

I mean, assa isnt even bad

LMAO

People will unironically say assa is bad

I never said it was, graf. You can relax.

shrewd lantern
#

No i mean community unironically thinks that

#

its funny

#

People will raid wr 800 and say assa is unviable

#

actual clown world

#

I'd probably play outlaw on windchime but i was too lazy to learn the nuances for a real boss.

#

And i can autopilot playing sub.

around about how many weeks should we have of season once 12.0.7 drops?

warm marlin
#

second dance in blades, you want to dance last 8s of blades

#

if you dont have cp you can dance/storm macro

mossy mauve
#

Why not SS?

warm marlin
#

stance delay means it takes about .2s for you to be able to cast strike

#

storm is instant

#

you do have long enough dances in guidon that you can just eat the delay but meh

short radish
#

.7 already been delayed 2 more weeks

shrewd lantern
#

if it should be still 4

tribal blade
#

how tf did i have a blades on pull on lura where strike didn't gen full CPs

dire jolt
#

If anything it's more likely 12.1 is gonna stick to the 8 week cadence to give room for the race before Blizzcon

short radish
#

i mean could be wrong

dire jolt
#

That's Timeways. Timeways frequently don't start on patch drops

short radish
#

past performance isnt an indicator of future performance

#

but th eyve been a decent indicator

#

of patch cadence

dire jolt
#

that change also changed the end date of timeways to 8/11 from 8/25

#

I mean it's possible they do a 6 week 12.0.7 but eh?

#

why make people accuse them of rushing 12.1

short radish
#

so they dont release a patch filled with bugs galore

#

so bad they apologised on multiple wow forums and discords

dire jolt
#

Wowhead is pushing a narrative on stuff so for some reason they ignored the fact the same change they're using for a "delay" is also showing they're "speeding up" 12.1

supple pawn
#

Thank you. Just trying to plan end of season pushes and such

#

I'm probably going to be levelling characters during turbulent timeways so I'll need to have my main done PvP wise

#

And probably M+ close to done too

dire jolt
#

Regardless they're already starting their content previews for 12.0.7 and 12.0.7 is in "spring" for the roadmap and has updates for Midsummer and a new event currently scheduled to start on 6/27. So yeah, I'm not jumping on a 6/30 patch date until proven otherwise.

short radish
#

good to know they're sticking to their plan of releasing bug slop then

#

idk who the fuck is asking for faster cadance

#

i know there's some "hurr durr end of patch nothing to do"

#

but holy shit these patches have gone so fast

dire jolt
#

this is the exact same cadence we've had since 10.0?

#

going on 3 years now

short radish
#

is it?

#

feels like 1-2 weeks faster

dire jolt
#

yes, Dragonflight started the 8 week cadence

intermission 1 on 1st day of lura prog

#

these P1 nerfs must have been huge

supple pawn

Big

short radish
#

maybe its all the gear that's been thrown at us

#

that feels so much quicker

dire jolt
#

the only difference between TWW and DF is DF had a longer x.2 patch that included the awakened s4

tribal blade
#

TRUE

supple pawn
tribal blade
#

yeah prenerf there would be no way we hit int 1 on day 1

supple pawn
#

But I wonder if maybe it's because I do PvP and PvE

short radish
#

like okay yeah sure the patchs are coming out at the same speed, maybe 1 week quicker than usual

supple pawn
#

Whereas most people don't do PvP at qll

short radish
#

but there's been so much mid patch shit

short radish
dire jolt
#

If I was a betting man I'd bet on Aug 18th for season 2 right now.

Which gives about 3 weeks before people need to travel for Blizzcon

short radish
#

i'll be honest. i shit on blizzard for a lot of things

dire jolt
#

I mean the maps are updated pretty extensively for a x.x.7 patch.

short radish
#

but reusing old content isn't one

dire jolt
#

It's not even reusing old content. They are new zones

short radish
#

like i kinda feel bad for all the map and world designers

#

who go into all the effort for the world to be ignored by 80% of the players after week 3

supple pawn
#

Another issue I have with recent expansions is the absence of .3 patches. I feel like the previous two expansions would've felt better with more time to flesh out the story

supple pawn
#

My issue isn't necessarily reusing old content

#

It's just it feels like they're doing it explicitly because of time contraints

short radish
#

of the timegated raid story

dire jolt
#

Maybe you can gripe about it reusing existing zone textures and assets, but they're put together in a new way.

supple pawn
#

I guess the main issue is moreso the disconnected patches? Question mark?

short radish
#

we've had a .3 patch in all but in name

#

with voidcores also thrown at us

supple pawn
#

Like aberrus or next patch were getting troll stuff now

short radish
#

weekly story release

#

idk if ritual sites contributed to teh story as well

#

but thats also .5 isnt it?

#

ive done 0 of them except running t1 for 2 hours on that singular day of hel

supple pawn
#

Not 12.0.5

short radish
#

oh right

supple pawn
#

I understand why they did it for SL

#

And WoD

dire jolt
#

The last .3 patch was BfA, but Blizzard clearly likes the 3 tier and done expansions so far as they joked during one of the Time Rifts quests in 10.1.5 that a good story has 3 parts.

#

more than anything, Legion and BfA were the exceptions rather than the norm at this point.

#

Cata and MoP only had 3 raid tiers.

supple pawn
#

TBF I started in legion so that's what I'm used to x3

short radish
dire jolt
#

Well we haven't had that type of downtime in years.

short radish
#

yeah i get why they do the fated seasons

#

i just dont like it

short radish
#

reusing old content that hasnt been touched in a decade

#

vs doing some old content i did a year ago

#

or the exact same raid i did a month ago

#

is no bueno

supple pawn
#

Fated tiers should have legacy raids

#

Like sure, scale current expansion raids to heroic if you want

#

It is supposed to be a sort of fuck around season anyways

short radish
#

i think my biggest gripe of fated raids is that it's not consistent

supple pawn

But like Legion and earlier raids are definitely old enough to be brought back

Hi guys
I main outlaw but wanted to try sub for prog with the guild a bit, to try to apport a more "steady" damage profile, but when i sim myself i do -10k dmg with sub..idk what rolls are considered jn the sim for outlaw toh
I dont have guidon (that sims worse for some reason) and I tried simming with around 700 800 700 stats or around that
This could be related to stats?

#

And are there any vods of good subs in the raid?
Beside shindig i didnt find much on yt

tribal blade

Hence why i was asking for vods, since i've never played it pretty much

i'm confused you were asking for outlaw vods

alpine wraith

dont worry you are in luck sub is that hard right now so it wont take long

#

only annoying one to learn is DS and not even

hollow spear
#

The thing that was the hardest in ds was the "just one more evis, bro"

alpine wraith
#

i mean it will get a bit getting used to cancel apex or to stop stabbing and wait

#

people do like pressing buttons

lone girder
#

I do

hollow spear
#

I krangled so many dance windows by doing that

#

I'm still not entirely sure what the point of cancelling apex is

lone girder
#

Expecially since i main outlaw, i can't imagine a life where in 30 min of M+ I dont get cramps in my hand

alpine wraith
#

it is to not get a refund on the evis before dance

#

otherwise you fill cps again

#

and cant dance storm to kill premed

#

maybe i do an updated video today about DS

#

some things have changed

lone girder
#

Btw i'll watch ur videos too, to get a grasp!
Tyvm

upbeat cradle
alpine wraith
#

well i dont really know how much of a loss it is but you may lose another apexed DN evis so yea

#

oh i also forgot you want to have 1 mark before the dance

#

if you already kinda messed that one up it is whatever

hollow spear
#

You could technically storm at max cp with dn up, but that's obviously not optimal

fiery summit
#

so im at 1100 haste with DS - am i not meant to be able to fit 2 sectec's into blades? i seem to be like a second off

hollow spear
#

I had the same problem

#

Don't send and do another dance right after blades

upbeat cradle
#

Sectec doesn't consumes the mark right ?

alpine wraith
#

DS is more spread over 4 dances in 50 seconds or so

#

than 2 dances

#

sec tech does pop 1 mark

#

mainly because lingering darkness is also quite a buff

upbeat cradle
#

oh right so 1 mark, SD storm Sectech strike DN/apex Evi ?

alpine wraith
#

well it is having 1 mark and full cp

#

cancel apex if it is procced then evis

#

then dance storm to apex and supercharge the DN evis

#

then strike etc as always

upbeat cradle
#

oh you don't supercharge sectec ?

alpine wraith
#

supercharge last 2 finishers

#

so you do supercharge sec tech

upbeat cradle
#

oh right i see what you wrote

#

you mean proccing DN before the dance

#

so you go into dance with

#

DN up

#

Apex

alpine wraith
#

yes

upbeat cradle
#

and do DN evi

#

then sectech

alpine wraith
#

1 thing you need to be aware is quietus procs in dance tho

#

they may make things a bit annoying

drifting ether
#

Finally

upbeat cradle
#

is it worth delaying sectec and dance a bit to make sure the evi in dance is always DN ?

@hazy breach has any sim work been done with the cancel aura shenanigans and deathstalkermark to see how much of a loss it is if you go into dance with single mark and full cp. Hopefully I wrote this out correctly. Too early. kekdog

daring raptor
#

What cancelaura macro do we need to use ?

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

As in backstabbing once or twice extra at full cp is irrelevant

lilac stag
#

gotcha

#

Was curious how much we are trying to over complicate things garf_sit

hollow spear
#

So basically we can just afk for a bit and let energy overcap

#

Is how I understand this?

#

If we're at full cp and one stack

hazy breach
#

Most of the time you dont even need to, as you'd want to evis once you hit 5 sht anyway

lilac stag
#

I feel like deathstalkermark is going to if/then scenario post to eliminate confusion for most people

#

we’ve all been patterned trained for full cp + a couple sht and dance + Sectech OMEGAKEKW

hollow spear
#

Took me a long time on the dummy and joining heroic pugs to reprogram my muscle memory

#

I still sometimes go into my blade window with sectec first even though I had prepared a dn

daring raptor
#

So how many stacks do we need before going into dance? 5? and then we start with SS?

hollow spear
#

You have one mark stack, 5 sht stacks (can probably get away with 4, but it's a gamble). Then you evis - dance + storm - evis (dn)

#

I tend to skip apexing the sectec, not sure if that's int

lilac stag
#

Im curious too if there’s a gain for getting more than 5 sht and where that cutoff is

daring raptor
#

do we really need to be on 1 mark stack?
Impossible to always have it like that

hazy breach
#

It naturally lines up like that most of the time outside cds, so you want to get back to that rotation everytime

daring raptor
#

Gonna be so weird have to stack shadowdance with a shuriken

earnest crane

is there any info about 12.0.7?

hazy breach
#

New boss coming out, thats about it

earnest crane
#

i mean tunning

hollow spear
#

It feels a bit unintuitive to hold for so long to be honest, but if you think about the damage you lose by messing up your dance window (i.e. starting with two marks) versus the damage you gain from one or two eviscerates outside of dance, it kinda makes sense.

earnest crane
#

and class change

hollow spear
#

There's no info

hazy breach
#

I wouldnt expect any either

#

But there might be shrugeg

hollow spear
#

I'm hoping for no tuning changes

earnest crane
#

as long as i remember meta comp is hard to change mostly whole expansion so i wish there will be no tunning cuz i m ok with current rogue state

lilac stag
#

this is where sub tends to end up each tier. Starts strong, gets gapped. Gets some tuning. Still strong on last bosses. Still good in keys. No utility.

earnest crane
#

self defence is a utility

fiery summit

With danse

earnest crane

we dont gain much dmg like past from it
