short radish
#

our mage complained about how lura is "such an unfun fight for him"

tribal blade
#

only has blink

short radish
#

told him to shut the fuck up because "unfun" = i dont do damage

dusky yacht

Melee expansion confirmed

Those guys don’t know what’s going on be gentle, poor pink bros

prot paladin was basically outlaw rogue except tank up till midnight

tribal blade
#

prot pal was always my favorite tank to run with

#

because you could brain off kicks for the most part

#

being in comms with a prot pal is fun too

#

"i have this kick"

#

"and next"

#

"and next"

#

"you get next"

cinder nimbus
#

bopping yourself as tank ✅

dusky yacht
#

I did a PoS with a pally tank bro has 53 interrupts and I was questioning why I was even there

tribal blade
#

"just kidding i can get it"

cinder nimbus
#

fair

dusky yacht
#

me, actively trying to beat the pally to the interrupts instead of dps since I’m top dps anyway

#

Radiant son of a b-

#

Then at end of dungeon someone said ‘great tanking’ and bro dips after just ‘xd’

exotic gorge
#

question, do we need to monitor find the weakness outside of aoe and throw a shuriken storm every now and then to proc it?

jade urchin
#

if no downtime, do we always send 3 dances between shadowblades? for the 3rd or 4th cds it seems to force some delaying for the second dance charge

alpine wraith
#

depends

jade urchin
#

in a pure patchwerk scenario, obviously it depends on boss

sick lichen
#

currently simming new deathstalker build and it sits happy at 1038 haste with aetherlume boots or 1062 haste with alleria neck (if I get it at some point), doesn't seem to want any higher haste, is there maybe a breakpoint after that where more haste is beneficial again?

dusky yacht
#

Recommended is 1100 haste, sim always wants you to have lower haste than that because it sim

exotic gorge
#

so do we worry about having find the weakness up in ST or nah?

sick lichen
dusky yacht
#

No, it comes up basically automatically

#

Sorry to but in, is Guidon better than Puzzlebox for M+? I hate using Puzzle XD

dusky yacht
#

So when do you want it up? Dance? You got it.

Aoe? You got it.

Outside of dance? Do it from behind

exotic gorge
#

missed that, good pick up. thought in raid we cant always be behind

manic glen
#

anyone remember what the rule is for spellqueue window? like what to ideally set it too?

sick lichen
dusky yacht
exotic gorge
#

That makes sense, ok so it doesnt matter and no need to track/keep up time

#

thank you for your patience.

dusky yacht
#

Exactly, yes

dusky yacht
exotic gorge
#

i will shadowmeld away now

sick lichen
dusky yacht
#

I was at 687 haste for trickster a while and it was sweaty and questionable at best

#

(And I have 20ish ms)

sick lichen
#

my sub UI has more utility tracking than anything related to the spec or hero talent

sick lichen
manic glen
#

We're always trying to have AA up for each evisc right? or is it just send and pray it hits, i'm trying to look at top logs and people double send evisc back to back a lot so im just trying to figure out if they are getting AA procs for that or if they just dont care if its up or not

dusky yacht
#

I don’t track charges on feint personally, I have a bar that I can see peripheral when it’s up, and just press it when relevant. If it doesn’t go off on press I wait a few sec and press again. Similar with other cooldowns.

I mean I can look down if I really wanna know but personally I don’t like clutter.

sick lichen
#

trying out other CDM addons atm as well, better cooldown manager has too much permanently on screen (like HS without a HS in bags, darkest night icon full colour/opacity without it available)

#

it can be slimmed down a bit

dusky yacht
#

Lots of people do it your way tho, I just don’t track most of it personally, but I have a good internal clock if that makes sense lol, I kinda know when something will be back up or nearly

#

I’m using ellesmere it has like everything built in (or almost everything)

Nah they die by themselves, i'd rather get the DK or DH killed

dusky yacht
#

Lmao

#

Fair

upbeat cradle
#

Mages are made of glass anyways

#

You could hit them outside of dance and they'd die

dusky yacht
#

Fight a mage and refuse to use dance out of sheer spite

dusky yacht
#

Then again I should prolly check

fallow ingot
#

i will get 1k1 haste with new raid ring ffs

dusky yacht
#

But crown prog tonight so hopefully drop

fallow ingot
#

no reclear unitl lura dead for me

dusky yacht
#

Oof

fallow ingot
#

but already have alleria neck in HC

dusky yacht
#

I got crafted 285

#

But yeah alleria neck would be sick

#

It’s like >100 haste in one slot

#

Then I recraft and regem and flask and I’m gucci

#

(I think)

fallow ingot
#

i cba to regem but will sim it

south moss
#

I have a pretty random question, im looking at the top 100 specs for myth lura, and I don't understand why weaponmaster is only at 38.7%. It's not so much that its at 38.7%. its that I dont see where the remaining % is distributed on the talent chart. I.e. if only 38.7% of top 100 sub rogues are taking it, where are they putting the talent point instead?

alpine wraith
#

after the bugs were implemented in simc

south moss
#

ahhh ok

#

ty

kinda dumb it doesnt have a way of showing if they are putting 1 or 2 points into finality

fallow ingot

oh new raid drop a bis belt, nice

mighty citrus

as DS we cant fit 2st in blades right?

fallow ingot

with lust yeah, without not sure

alpine wraith

without bl you get the second one in third dance

tribal blade
alpine wraith

and it is ok because you have lingering

fallow ingot

i was more so thinking out loud

fallow ingot

Hello boys,

Any reason why Droptimizer/Top gear starts to recommend vers over mastery/haste at the moment? Currently simming as Trickster

vale pine
sick lichen
#

wdym with drop casts?

fallow ingot
vale pine
#

well the reason you use haste is to be able to use secret 2 times in blades and utialize all gcd's

#

if you can't do that reliably, you might be too low on haste

prime mortar
fallow ingot
#

have the same issue with DS i have to set haste flask

prime mortar
#

I've simmed with whetstone out of habit, will see if it changes anything, but since i'm using the stone from TBC, it's not like i'm using 2x oil

#

Nop, still recommends me to get vers

fallow ingot
#

as trick get 700 haste then go mast/crit heavy and thats fine

nova cairn
#

What's the easiest way to farm myth crests m+?

prime mortar
#

Yeah, i'll do the same for DS, 1100 and the rest is crit mastery

fallow ingot

Vers is dogshit outisde mark of the wild and vantus

#

Hey we are 2 sub rogue in my guild and the other keep mentionning issues about poison/clones procs when playing twice de same rogue spec (sub in this case) but i've never noticed anything and idk if it is true

fallow ingot
#

Dunno i'm the only rogue

alpine wraith
#

nah that is bull

upbeat cradle
#

Hasn't been a thing since classic

alpine wraith
#

it has happened a few times but not recently

upbeat cradle
#

In classic it was basically an arm race to stack deadly poison vs the other rogues

#

Retails is whatever

graceful portal
#

Yeha ok he asked gemini and is being annoying/ complaining evey time to our RL and now they want me to respec lmao

prime mortar
#

Are u outperforming him?

graceful portal
#

Yeah LMAO

prime mortar
#

Then that's the reason

graceful portal
#

but i'm "new" to the guild he is there since the start

upbeat cradle
#

Asking AI anything is dumb when you can Google it yourself

graceful portal
#

so just wanted to be sure 100% before answering

fallow ingot
graceful portal
#

So there is nothing "bad" playing 2 sub rogue (apart form palying rogue)

upbeat cradle
#

I raid with 2 other rogues and have no issues

solid lotus
#

send them here

upbeat cradle
#

Besides being rogues

solid lotus
#

we will all collectively tell him off

graceful portal
#

Bahahaha

prime mortar
#

It is not "bad". Comp wise not the best, but you're prolly not Liquid so who cares

graceful portal
#

anyway i'm bench this week so idc

small sleet
graceful portal
#

and the RL is acting nicely like not forcing anything he is just trying to adapt and not create dramas

#

But still annoying to heard

solid lotus
#

not creating drama is telling the other guy he is wrong

upbeat cradle
#

I mean yeah we're on paladins so rogues defo are bad

dusky yacht
#

Lmao weirdos in some guilds man

solid lotus
#

instead of making you feel bad

graceful portal
#

first trys monday and i had 30-50k more than him every try (ego maxxing)

prime mortar
graceful portal
#

Yeah

#

that

#

I'll just think this is the explanation

#

i'm happy with that

#

i'll respec outlaw and surpass him even more

solid lotus
#

anyway im trying DS on M Lura, do i just dance storm and thats the only real change (and DN on 7+AA)

dusky yacht
#

Honestly I had same kind of bs in my last guild, egos feel threatened and they start being weird af, so happy I got out of there

New goal. Gray parse with 6.7

#

Instant recruiting

upbeat cradle
#

Crit is more ST, mastery is more AOE, both are more or less equal

#

Depends what you want

So just need to replace Heroic items by the same MM one, and i'm done. Got it

Ignore Charles, stack versatility, parse grey, bait buffs from blizz

#

And if they doubt you. Just send them Hachadino's logs ?

dusky yacht

‘Hachadino did it, therefore your argument is invalid.’

#

‘QED’

latent remnant
#

band is big except I don't think I can offset the 160 haste I'd lose from heroic nexus ring currently 😔

dusky yacht
#

Or flask, TRUE

upbeat cradle
#

I run 540 haste gear now, if i switch around chest boots qnd bracers i get 940

placid blade
#

take plume play ass

upbeat cradle
#

So i just haste flask everything

latent remnant
#

oh right haven't simmed flask to see what that would give me

upbeat cradle
#

For Trick and DS

prime mortar
upbeat cradle
#

And haste flasks are cheaper than mastery

#

God knows how poor my account currently is

prime mortar
upbeat cradle
#

Woah mastery on my servers are like 850

#

I sold 21 of them yesterdaydogekek

#

To buy haste flasks

dusky yacht
#

I make my own

prime mortar
#

Omw to buy them on my server, sell it on yours

upbeat cradle
#

I'm gonna change mining into alchemy

placid blade

I thought consumables were region wide on the AH

upbeat cradle

To save up flasks

latent remnant
#

theyre basically equal here

prime mortar
#

@upbeat cradle US server?

mighty citrus
#

i missed the convo, so to play ds its also fine to reach the 1000 haste with flask? i was under the missconception that i need 1000 without flask, oils etc

upbeat cradle
#

EU, but that was yesterday, don't think price dropped that much in such a short time ?

maybe the robots liked them

upbeat cradle

We must stan this man who supported us

Do we have a true breakpoint for DS haste? im guessing im golden here

dusky yacht

Probably tell you to get vers after

dusky yacht
upbeat cradle

Real breakpoint is 1064 i think

green torrent

is dungeon slice an accurate way to sim for m+

Human error makes it rounds up to 1100 tho

cinder nimbus

#

the haste thing is not reflected in sims?

#

it wants me to switch 130 haste ring with no haste ring

upbeat cradle
#

No

#

Sims are for robots

#

Our fat fingers aren't flawlessly executing the rotation

mighty citrus
#

okay then i hit 1100 haste, is crit still = mast? as i only have very little crit left

#

then i might need to move things around again

prime mortar
small sleet
#

Mast is better than crit in st for ds last I checked

upbeat cradle
#

Is it ?

small sleet
#

Crit not very good because apexed dn is guaranteed crit

mighty citrus
#

wait you guys say two diff things

#

😄

upbeat cradle
#

Oh yea

#

DN is guaranteed crit

#

Mastery must be slightly better

#

But it's more or less equal in the grand scheme of things

small sleet
#

Important part is being 1100 haste

mighty citrus
#

okay the thing is i have almost double the mast than crit

small sleet
#

That’s fine

mighty citrus
#

so need to change enchants, gems etc i guess to make it more equal

small sleet
#

For deathstalker

mighty citrus
#

as the robot cant help me

#

yeah my trickster gear is very good

#

just want to try out ds on lura

vale pine
#

please don't change ring enchant

upbeat cradle
#

Important part is 1100 haste and as close to 0 vers as possible

vale pine
#

eagle is too good, so keep it

mighty citrus
vale pine
#

it is fine to play deathstalker without 1100 haste too

prime mortar
#

Btw, which boss we would consider ST? Imperator / Vora / Saladbar / Lura ?

vale pine
lusty narwhal
#

does anything change rotationally with DS or just adjust gear to meet new haste breakpoint and do everything as usual

prime mortar
upbeat cradle
#

you go into dance with 0 cp

small sleet

There are rotation and priority changes

make sure DN evi is always apex'd

but why would you press your shadow dance key without dance?

small sleet
#

You don’t ever press keybinds just to make sure they know you miss them?

upbeat cradle
#

not like you have buttons on your bars, just use dance storm macro and sectech on another button lol

Is Trickster still better for M+ before changes?

#

Not for my brain it isn't, that 1 haste is why i'm bad

that 1 haste is why you're not parsing pink

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.

!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.

Usually just end up eviscing the high health boss so they actually die at the same time.

small sleet
#

Yeah that’s usually the right thing to do

dusky yacht
#

You just want that fight over with asap so you can get bp spamming again

tepid trellis
#

overall dmg all that matters trust

dusky yacht
#

Feint overrated, just spam bp harder

placid blade
#

I strive to maintain 100% uptime on feint, unless an AE is happening. Can't be caught with it in those.

hazy breach
#

That little bird did not die to cleave

small sleet
#

Holy fuck that sounds awful

placid blade
#

3rd boss*

small sleet
#

I literally say in chat, “yo I’m not gonna do shit to the adds”

dusky yacht
hazy breach
#

Ye third, whatever

small sleet
#

Just do 100k st and kidney the birds behind the pillar and no one will question your 1.5m damage to the adds over the entire fight

dusky yacht
#

I insta cheap or kidney the add spawns

#

Not all heroes wear capes I wear cloaks

azure ember
#

anyone played or tried DS on lura?

dusky yacht
#

I would ask Stealthi I heard he wasn’t last dps on vanguards

small sleet
azure ember
#

how do u find it?

small sleet
#

I think it’s fun, and the damage feels good

dusky yacht
#

Smh I’m gonna lose my mind until I’ve gotten the haste req and know the rotation of it

tepid trellis
#

its good on lura

small sleet
#

I’m ending p1 upwards of 150k boss dps on some pulls where I get lucky

hazy breach
#

The more i play deathstalker the more i hate this talent btw

tepid trellis
#

yes

small sleet
#

Yeah I know what you mean

hazy breach
#

Wouldnt actually surprise me if this was a dps loss

#

But you cant untalent it

#

So

dusky yacht
#

Oof

small sleet
#

Sometimes you can black powder the first add spawns of Lura and you spike to 400k dps, sometimes you can’t

hazy breach
#

Because most of the time this talent proccing just means you spend 5 more seconds sitting at full cp backstabbing instead of eviscerating > backstabbing back to 7

#

Or you need to strike at full cp if its during dance

small sleet
#

Is it correct to ignore supercharger optimization to fit 2 dns into one sd

hazy breach
#

what

small sleet
#

Uhh like

tribal blade
#

on sectec

#

with 2nd supercharger i assume

hazy breach
#

You dont care about superchargers as DS

small sleet
#

Ok ya

hazy breach
#

As in you dont care about apexing them

small sleet
#

That’s what I figured

manic glen
#

oh so we aren't forcing AA procs to just full send?

tribal blade
#

just as DS

small sleet
#

You force aa procs on dn eviscerates

tribal blade
#

you only want to apex DN

manic glen
#

oh fuck yeah

tribal blade
#

i'm staying trickster for now on lura

hollow spear
#

I knew it!

tribal blade
#

i'm helping carry the crystal dmg

small sleet
#

Cope

hollow spear
#

and yes, I hate that talent

tribal blade
#

if i don't stay trickster they prob won't die in time

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

We have an enhance shammy and two ww

#

They better die

tribal blade
#

a lot of crystal sets come down to the wire

small sleet
#

Wat da hell your guild needs to learn how to pad more aggressively

olive canyon
#

did any of you run any thing non-standard for belo?

hollow spear
#

Prophet conditioned his guild to let him pad

olive canyon
#

like going puzzle box or cloud cover?

tribal blade
#

we currently have 5 people doing tank dmg

small sleet
tribal blade
#

so there's that

olive canyon
#

so if i can just do more and carry more then i rather do so

tribal blade
#

nah beloren has just become a mechanics check

hollow spear
#

Can't carry that

#

If your guild shits the bed on mechanics

#

Your 3% extra damage won't change anything

#

That reminds me

#

I forgot to pick up the raid buff in midnight falls

mighty citrus
#

with my gear, after oils and flask

#

sad

#

(and sockets)

small sleet
#

1096 is enough

hollow spear
#

No, it looks disgusting

#

Can't play like that

tribal blade
#

we really need the crystal dmg

olive canyon
#

how are you guys finding the third set of crystals with 2 dks

small sleet
#

2 hunters and neither will pad on mm gg

tribal blade
#

it's mostly ok, sometimes we have stragglers though

#

and on those sets me being trickster is pretty huge

tribal blade
olive canyon
#

Just gripping them all in gets awkward

tribal blade
#

we had a 3rd dk

olive canyon
#

gorefiends can help but yeh, really thinking of a third dk for that

tribal blade
#

he has a 2nd baby incoming

#

so he's not raiding anymore i think

olive canyon
#

fair reeason

mighty citrus
#

the last thing to figgure out is if i wanna use the high crit or high mastery ring as haste is secured. so option 1 is having 770 crit and 730 mast or option two going with 480 crit and 880 mast 😄

tribal blade
#

i thought he was gonna finish off this tier, but maybe not

mighty citrus
#

or option 3 fuck it

#

doesnt matter

#

😄

hazy breach
# radiant swift why is that?

You want every dance to look pretty much like this, and when this talent procs you end up with 1 stack of mark way too early before your dance/sectech is ready for the next dance

brisk raptor

#

i dunno what to do at that point

You just tank it and wait

Curse blizzard for introducing a cringe talent that ruins the flow

It’s nice when it happens in dance but pre-dance quietus is gross

hazy breach

But then you also need to strike at full cp

!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).
hazy breach
#

And the sequencing is still fucked for the next one

brisk raptor
small sleet
hazy breach
#

Yeah you can use it to unfuck your mark

#

To allign it back up

swift tinsel
#

All the more reason I don’t feel bad for not playing DS

tribal blade
#

i looked at a bunch of DS logs and they don't follow the sit at 1 mark rule all the time

#

looks a lot more all over the place

#

entering dance at kinda w/e

swift tinsel
#

Probs people getting used to it

hollow spear
#

whenever I try to push for another DN

#

I frick it up

tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

Like I know I fucked it up a few pulls last night

hollow spear
#

even with Vanish you end up sitting at low sht stacks

#

which is kinda int

olive canyon
#

we had several ppl not having tis

#

ty for massive reminder

hollow spear
#

idiots, would never happen to me

mighty citrus
#

what i noticed with a few quick hc bosses now is i end up having 1s of my second dance left in blades while st comes up. so if i would press st it would not benefit fully from dance vs my dance charges have cooldown and i sit on st a few seconds

random mason
hazy breach
#

You dont press it

random mason
#

Last patch

olive canyon
#

perhaps but about 4 dps didnt have the buff which is nuts

alpine wraith
#

as DS you just send on next dance

hazy breach
#

You just sectech next dance instead. The main star of the show as ds is the apexed DN

random mason
#

Like not for everyone but some ppl had to go get it again

alpine wraith
#

funnily enough lingering is strong

#

so you may even do more dmg

#

than with blades on that sec tech

mighty citrus
#

mh

hollow spear
#

sub rogues having to not press sectec the second it comes up

small sleet
#

I think ds would flow way better if you didn’t have sectech at all

mighty citrus
#

😄

alpine wraith
#

possibly

#

or if dn worked on all finishers

swift tinsel
alpine wraith

like CB did

ashen warren
#

Does anyone have an opener I could follow for this patch if I want to play DS ? Like a log or smthing

tribal blade
#

i still think sectec should be doing way more dmg than it's currently doing

tribal blade
#

we should always be optimizing around sectec

alpine wraith
#

think im posing the video today but also just go through eleems messages

I've yet to get beaten in these shitter keys

alpine wraith

they just want buffs

random mason

I keep getting absolute dog shit DKs and Augs in keys bc ppl think theyre still insanely strong

You just want roughly 1100 haste, a little bit above or below is fine

Deathstalker quick Guide

Heres a few of the gameplay differences between deathstalkermark Deathstalker and Trickster Trickster:

  • When you have Darkest Night during ShadowDance Dance you ALWAYS want it to be buffed by ancientarts Ancient Arts (apex). You do not need to apex other supercharged finishers.
  • You can and should only fit one SecretTechnique Secret Technique into ShadowBlades Blades without Bloodlust.
  • The ideal ShadowDance Dance sequence looks something like this:
    1. Sit at 1 stack of deathstalkermark Deathstalkers Mark and full cp until you have 5 or more shadowtechniques Shadow Technique Stacks.
    2. Eviscerate Eviscerate
    3. Enter ShadowDance Dance with your ShadowDance+ShurikenStorm Macro
    4. Darkest Night Eviscerate Eviscerate with ancientarts Ancient Arts and supercharger active for a massive chunk of damage.
    5. SecretTechnique Secret Technique after getting the refunded combo points.
      Ive also included a video down below to showcase how it works in practice, ideally every single ShadowDance Dance you do besides the second one in ShadowBlades Blades or the one used immediately on pull should look like this as the mark usually lines up pretty well to do this. However if you do happen to get "lucky" and get procs of Quietus Celeris you might need to delay a ShadowDance Dance a bit and use Vanish Vanish to try to allign it again.

Deathstalker also wants around 1100 haste instead of 700, check the previous pin for tips on how to reach that point.

small sleet
#

Tldr

alpine wraith
#

smh eleem explaining my 10 min video in 1 screen

hazy breach
#

The "no input lag at all" threshold would be like 1025

night sparrow
small sleet
#

Eleem has spoken we’re all playing 1025 haste ds now

alpine wraith
#

time to limit test

night sparrow
#

Time to target dummy and change my muscle memory for the 2 remaining weeks on Lura

#

(once I FOUND AFUCKING INGENIOR ABLE TO CRAFT MY BOOTS FFS)

dusky yacht
#

The real question is what would hachadino do

small sleet
#

Imagine practicing ds before raid

#

When you could practice it during raid

night sparrow
#

🥸 🥸

I’m not even playing it

he would play umamusume according to gemini

Hacha starts theorycrafting about a PoE build

im a bit of a crafter myself

tbh it is fun how it did get everything right of what i've been doing

upbeat cradle
alpine wraith
#

that is why im engi myself

dusky yacht

He’s lying, he just wants to kick you

alpine wraith
#

i always knew

upbeat cradle

I knew engi would pay off

leaden prairie
#

which is more healing on sub, leech poison or the dance thingy

hazy breach
#

Dance thingy?

leaden prairie
#

soothing

hazy breach
#

Thats vanish

leaden prairie
#

ah nvm

#

dogshit then

tribal blade
#

it used to be on dance

#

and then they took it away

#

because reasons

leaden prairie
#

it was on dance in tww right

#

or

#

or maybe im crazy cuase i used it on outlaw and it was on vanish

tribal blade
#

uhhhh i can't remember when they took it away

leaden prairie
#

and we vanished every 20s

alpine wraith
#

it was very good on sl yea

#

tww decided

tribal blade
#

yeah for outlaw it was cracked

alpine wraith
#

no

#

even on df it stuck for a while too

tribal blade
#

i miss the original version

#

from legion

hazy breach
leaden prairie
#

i see

hazy breach
#

I lied, it was removed in 0.5 of nerubar

leaden prairie
#

im simming some stuffs for last boss seat

#

i ascended i think

#

its on trickster

small sleet
#

Wat da hell

hazy breach
#

Why

leaden prairie
#

with box tho

#

idk

#

sims best

#

its getting 2 sec tech inside box damage amp

#

so its better i guess

alpine wraith
#

isnt last boss of seat way better with DS anyway

random mason
#

are u simming for exactly 20 seconds or something

leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

interesting

hazy breach
#

Probably should be DS yeah

weary tree
leaden prairie
#

i cant get ds to win

#

also its playing cloud cover

alpine wraith
#

well the amp is quite big

hazy breach
#

Well did you have it start with DN and stuff

leaden prairie
#

like hold dn for amp?

#

i have 0 clue on how ds works i have been avoiding it

small sleet
#

Is dn burst even higher than cloud cover trickster?

upbeat cradle
#

I mean if it's for seat wouldn't trickster be better anyways ?

hazy breach
#

Like if youre just doing a natty 20s sim. DS is gonna start by going strike and havign 3 stacks of mark up

upbeat cradle
#

For like 80% of the key ?

small sleet
alpine wraith
#

you can go out while there is random BS happening

leaden prairie
#

no im not doing a 20s sim im doing a 4min sim with 2 damage amp in the middle

hazy breach
#

Whereas in practice you'd start with a apexed DN

leaden prairie
#

and aligning blade with amp

upbeat cradle
leaden prairie
#

not doing weird things

hazy breach
#

Ah

upbeat cradle
#

i remember doing that on rookery

leaden prairie
#

trickster reads burstier to me tho

#

is it not

hazy breach
#

It is

#

But its also doing way less damage overall

#

Might be similar on lura though

#

Either way probably not a big difference, ig deathstalker gets +15% magic DR

small sleet
#

Me and charrend did a seat earlier where he played ds at lura and I played trickster but I think he fucked up his gear set or something

#

But I did a decent bit more on that fight

leaden prairie
#

does ds want 1100 haste WITH guidon

upbeat cradle
alpine wraith
hazy breach
leaden prairie
#

that boss quite heavely favor box tho

alpine wraith
#

trickster should be fine with 800 and puzzle

#

no need for more haste

hazy breach
#

But yeah if you are delaying for 2 mins

#

Box would be the play for sure

leaden prairie
#

so idk if its like way under haste breakpoints

#

for ds

lilac stag
small sleet
#

Is assa not better if you’re delaying for 2m? I genuinely don’t know the answer

alpine wraith
#

the thing with DS is after blades ends

#

you also have lingering

#

that is decently strong

#
  • all dances are decent too
leaden prairie
#

so unluck

leaden prairie
#

but sub is tankier

alpine wraith
#

yep that is why trickster with cover should be fine

leaden prairie
#

on that boss

#

like way tankier

#

and boss is hard to heal

small sleet
#

Yeah that’s true

hazy breach
#

Good thing all the dangerous damage is environmental so atrophic does fuck all

leaden prairie
#

oh really

#

unluck

keen dome
#

we need to poison the enviroment

small sleet
#

I think the damage comes from the little symbols you shoot with the beams and not the boss lmao

lusty narwhal
#

at least we are dominating the damage charts no need for atrophic

leaden prairie
#

i like losing my raid buff for rp reasons

lilac stag
#

best raid buff ever

#

so useful

#

so demure

haughty mural
lusty narwhal
#

next raid: mobs that need to be gripped under the boss and can only be damaged while poisoned

alpine wraith
#

yea that laura the screamcrying guys are enviromental

lusty narwhal
#

raidspot secured for two classes

alpine wraith
#

but hey if you take ticks of the beam atro works

#

might overkill by some millions of dmg but

#

3.6% less

leaden prairie
#

if i dont take this talent would the sim still dance storm

#

im asking because it seems to sim better than premed if i have to take only one or the other

#

but idk if its cause its actually better or if sim still storm without it which is bad

hazy breach
#

As DS yes it would still

leaden prairie
#

as trickster

hazy breach
#

Yes sometimes during the second dance it would. I havent tied any checks to silent storm

lusty narwhal
#

as trickster you dont storm at all in ST as far as i know or has that changed?

hazy breach
#

You dont need to no

#

But its neutral to do

#

So in some edge cases the sim does it, because fixing that adds a whole lot of annoying text to the simc code which i cba

leaden prairie
#

would it be safe to say premed is better

hazy breach
#

Yes

woeful barn
#

Si

lusty narwhal
#

i think there is still a bug with premed and the apex though

tribal blade
lusty narwhal
#

only matters with cloud cover

leaden prairie
#

which i do play in that instance
