Yeah so Opener > Skip 2nd shadow > use on 3rd etc right?
And yeah will sim, was just more curious around if many people have used/use double on use vs a passive trinket.

steel zinc
#

You strike puzzle and then into CDs

#

Puzzle is pretty good in m+

#

But you want voidspire first boss trinket that has the biggest impact on your rotation

ember crane
#

Yeah double on use is simming slightly ahead (1.45k) from Puzzle/gaze.

and yeah been a little unlucky for LCG but luckily it is first boss so ez mythic kill each week.

#

Do we ever use shadow dance outside shadow blades?

native zodiac
#

Yes

I cant read rotation guide then lol

Hey guys; quick question how important is race (shadowmeld) for sub? is it super important?

#

Im a gnomenjoyer lol

#

Cool.

If I played gnome, the first thing I'd do is race change

Ig you have to be a gnome if you're called Tiny

Hey ! Do you know if we have a good funnel ? I'm thinking magister terrasse where sometimes some mob need to die fast. I usually go for highest dps, but I notice that it’s not always the best. I played assa at TWW and the funnel was excellent. Im pretty new to sub. Thanks !

hollow spear
#

We have no funnel

azure lynx
#

Ok that’s the feeling I had 😆

hollow spear
#

You could play ds, but it's much worse in m+. Meaning you'd gain prio damage at the major expense of aoe damage.

azure lynx
#

So it never make sense to eviscerate instead of black powder in a pack

#

Thanks for the reply

sharp flower
#

Thanks antok!

#

Also; i know warriors have a guide for what they can spell reflect etc; do we have one for our cloak of shadows / evasion?

#

ok so i did look at the pins

#

ima ask this with full humility and ignorance to rogue (i enjoy the way trickster seems to play)

this is bait, right? for m+ atleast?

shrewd lantern
#

Weird how neither of those say deathknight.

unreal ledge
#

DS only good in ST and its by like 5%

rapid forum
#

i swapped rog to alt and dk to main this season

#

rog and dk play different games

spiral needle
#

it's bait since it's a bit early to tell, check WCL in a week

#

there's a reason people barely touched it when it was already 4.5% gain

shrewd lantern
#

I love how we're AI generating clickbait now

#

cant even homebrew ts

shrewd lantern
#

everyone started to bandwagon despite its been better on raw st for a minute

#

Kind of shows wow players fail to think for themselves ever.

unreal ledge
#

ya so its like 6% ahead total ST, it's sstill DS tho so not worth it

#

if we all refuse to play it, maybe they will get rid of it

shrewd lantern
#

playable on vora ig since that chud doesnt parry

shrewd lantern
#

I like how they ai generate thumbnails now

#

Any random turd can recite off the wowhead guide for yt clicks

fresh lantern
#

I'm starting to get pretty sick of content creators, so much bait, even from the 'big' ones.

broken seal
#

Actually do you think DS is worth it for M+ now ? Or maybe only for raid if you reach like 1k haste ?

fresh lantern
#

I can't see it doing better

#

Maybe some data will prove us wrong

vale pine
#

people before that already did essentially read out articles

shrewd lantern
vale pine
#

a lot of youtube videos are essentially just ripping off websites often without crediting

shrewd lantern
#

if you get any cleave value

#

idk why anyone wants to play DS.....

#

shit is even more boring

unreal ledge
vale pine
#

ds does more evis damage

broken seal
shrewd lantern
vale pine
#

and its better on the single target fights, like crown, laura, salad bar, etc

shrewd lantern
#

besides vora

broken seal
shrewd lantern

and well who gives a fuck about that guy

I MEAN......

#

padding on lura is more fun than st bot

#

gives me something to do instead of wait for a crystal holder to jihad us

#

Have Stats Changed on trickster? Why are some people Play 800 or 850 haste with guidon on trickster?

vale pine
#

not sure, there isn't that much benefit of doing so

hollow spear
#

Graf is a certified ds hater

#

Don't listen to him

#

Ds is the truth

#

If you're playing that shit in m+ though, not even Jesus can save you

keen dome
#

he speaks the truth, DS sucks

small sleet
#

Ds doesn’t have anything clunky or negative about it’s gameplay loop really, it just feels like a more nuanced version of the same trickster ideas

gilded thistle
#

with DS is there some tech where we should be trying to time darkest night with a supercharged point

#

or are we just spamming that shit and ignoring it

small sleet
#

You should be entering dance with darkest night, so you’ll always supercharge that one

gilded thistle
#

was really hoping the answer was "just spam shit and ignore it"

small sleet
#

Lmao unfortunately ds requires a little more thought than trickster

gilded thistle
#

what do we want the 1100 haste for?

#

just more gcds?

#

in sd

azure lynx
#

can you cloak the orb on the last boss of terrace ? I'm afraid it doesn't count as "the ball was receveid", might be wrong

wheat edge
gilded thistle
#

ah so we want longer dance

azure lynx
small sleet
gilded thistle
#

how much of a loss is it to not reach that breakpoint?

small sleet
#

Uhh I dunno, would just have to sim it

gilded thistle
#

bleh

#

not sure if I really feel like regearing for this

small sleet
#

You really don’t have to, trickster still does very good on every raid fight

gilded thistle
#

I'm not exactly doing insane parses with trickster as is

#

yeah

#

I'm guessing that's why the guide still has the trickster setup front and center lol

tribal blade
small sleet
#

Ds is just being talked about a lot right now because the recent minor buff made a lot of people realize it was better in pure st

tribal blade
#

and even on the bosses where DS is better, trickster is still good

gilded thistle
#

i got used to having like 1 interesting tech then pure brainless spam, I dont like this whole "thinking" thing DS has to do

gilded thistle
#

I was a fatebound assass stan before this

tribal blade
#

haha yeah that's pretty braindead too atm

gilded thistle
#

yeah...

#

I mean it was last season even

#

last time I touched ds was in nerubar palace lol

tribal blade
#

i think sin had a lot more plate juggling in TWW

gilded thistle
#

meh, I've played nothing but assass for my entire adult life until literally this year

tribal blade
#

but yeah wasn't exactly rocket science

gilded thistle
#

now I enjoy sub a lot

#

cuz it's faster and spammier

#

and has zero ramp up

jaunty umbra
#

man tww assa was so good why did they change that

gilded thistle
#

idk if I'd call it "so good" while the m+ situation was so janky still

wheat edge
gilded thistle
#

yeah I agree

tribal blade
#

the main issue i have with sin atm is the energy cost of CT

gilded thistle
#

plus the tier bug was so fucking silly

#

in MFO

#

insane they never fixed it

tribal blade
#

yeah the sin bugs were next level

wheat edge
gilded thistle
#

actual meme chance of parsing way better just because your game broke in your favor every pull

tribal blade
#

i'm sure if i actually played sin more it wouldn't be an issue

#

but with the little i dabbled in sin it just really tilted me every time i bricked my energy with CT

#

i'm looking at lura and atrophic is mitigating way more dmg than both devo aura and motw

small sleet
#

Motw only 1.5% dr, and devo will miss half the raid during p3

tribal blade
#

we're not getting to P3 yet, just P1/2 wiping so far

#

i just wanted to look because i was curious

#

at how "useless" atrophic is haha

small sleet
#

I mean atrophic should be doin 20% more than devo

west tide
#

ya jist make sure you are left side so the dr poison works in the that phase

tribal blade
west tide
#

sub owns so hard man its actually suchba good sub fight esp ds

west tide
#

trickster is also good

#

but man the st is fuckin absurd as sub rn

tribal blade
#

i unironically need to play trickster

#

to make P1 consistent

west tide
#

yeah thats good af for prog

tribal blade
#

my raid team in general has a lot of people who do 0 dam

west tide
#

we have double dev dh they just blow it up

tribal blade
#

both our devs are gray parsing atm haha

#

while doing crystals though

west tide
#

tbh tho the dev doing big dam on the adds depends on speed of grips and the kicks beforehand

#

cause if u sre slow to grip they will star onto nothing or barely anything

tribal blade
#

ahhhh gotcha

small sleet
tribal blade
#

oh wait are you playing dev??

small sleet
#

No I’m playing sub rogue

tribal blade
#

ohhh ok

#

thought i was losing my mind for a sec

small sleet
#

Doing crystal just shouldn’t lose you any meaningful dps if you play well was all I meant lmao

tribal blade
#

yeah for sure

#

well one of our devs i know him quite well

#

he will do 0 dmg

#

to do mechanics correctly

small sleet
#

That’s preferable tbh

tribal blade
#

always been like that

tribal blade
#

the main issue becomes when i stepped into crown prog completely fresh pre the big nerfs when my guild had progged the whole fight already

#

we get to the end of the fight and hit the enrage

#

and i am out dpsing the entire raid

#

on my first night on the boss

#

it's kinda like that

#

a lot of the time

small sleet
#

Yeah that’s a bit unfortunate lmao

tribal blade
#

i love my guild, but we have quite a few people who do 0 dam

#

my RL always says "you just need to have enough dmg"

#

which is mostly correct

#

but also

#

if you have everyone absolutely blasting

#

you make everything WAY easier

#

but so far on lura i don't think throughput has caused us any major issues

#

it's mostly just glaives/crystal carrier fuck ups

small sleet
#

Throughput can’t save you any pain until p3

tribal blade
#

lol i hear that

#

yeah that's where dmg becomes important

upbeat cradle
#

@wheat edge i did it lol

tribal blade
#

we'll probably ahve to suffer in P3 more than other guilds

upbeat cradle
upbeat cradle
#

My guild has non blasters that don't do mechanics

tribal blade
#

HAHA

#

that's the holy trinity of depression

upbeat cradle
#

#blessed

#

That's fine we're not aiming for CE anyways

#

I mean maybe they are, I'm not, i know we can't with the current rosters

tribal blade
#

who knows you guys could do it

#

with enough raid nerfs and the ramping raid buff

#

and new borrowed power coming out

#

AND sporefused gear

#

who knows

upbeat cradle
#

Honestly? When the dps don't know what the North/true north is

#

I find it hard to believe

#

All the gear you can have won't save you from a giant fear in the whole raid on dragons lol

tribal blade
#

lol that's fair

#

wait are these the people who can't tell where raid markers are

#

i think we may have had this convo before

upbeat cradle
#

Nah i'm just chilling with my friends on raid nights for the vibes, if the boss dies it's cool, if not well i still played

#

Yes

tribal blade
#

yeah that's a good attitude

upbeat cradle
#

They multiplied since last time

#

Went from 1 to 3 players

#

(got two new tryouts)

tribal blade
#

fingers crossed they're good

upbeat cradle
#

Well they don't know where the North is

#

Maybe they play with rotating map

tribal blade
upbeat cradle
#

Holymoly gearing up a second rogue, needed 3 rolls from a dungeon, out of 8. 5 rolls in still haven't gotten a single item i needed lol

#

PEAK

#

Was hoping to get it done quickly because there is a second dungeon i need to roll for too but heh

tribal blade
#

yeah i've noticed this very clear divide between who likes the bonus roll system and who doesn't

#

and it's based entirely around if they got rng screwed or not

upbeat cradle
#

Oh btw did you know you can roll multiple times on the same raid boss in the same week if you rekill it ?

#

Altho probably only in heroic

upbeat cradle
tribal blade
#

my guild figured that out on heroic

#

when someone was saved and could still bonus roll

upbeat cradle
#

My main rogue ? 7 rolls to get NPX ring set

#

My second rogue ? Well on his way to be like that

tribal blade
#

yeah i guess if you want to speed run getting gaze on an alt

upbeat cradle
#

But mythic has lockout right

tribal blade
#

you can just do multiple mythic chim kills in a week

#

and get it

upbeat cradle
#

So you can't farm chimaerus mythic

tribal blade
#

oh

#

wait i'm stupid

#

I'M ACTUALLY A MORON

#

nvm

upbeat cradle
#

Haha yeah i had the same thought and was like

#

Wait

#

I think i forgot something

tribal blade
#

ok yeah heroic you can do that haha

upbeat cradle
#

Altho, heroic gaze with the item boost is probably still useful

#

But i'd rather roll for mythic

tribal blade
#

yeah especially if mythic is out of reach

#

bonus rolling heroic is the move

upbeat cradle
#

Not that it matters that much, the second rogue is outlaw and i'm notoriously bad at it, so x% of nothing is still nothing

#

We got paladin mythic down to 20% yesterday tho

tribal blade
#

HUGE

upbeat cradle
#

So i may be able to see alleria before seasons ends ?

tribal blade
#

absolutely

upbeat cradle
#

Kinda like how i felt fighting crown heroic the first time

tribal blade
#

yeah it sucks for melee

upbeat cradle
#

But worse ?

tribal blade
#

and rogue does no dmg

#

but it's not a dmg fight

#

it's a live fight

#

just live and the boss dies

upbeat cradle
#

I mean yeah

#

Dragons are just a positioning fight

#

Some people would raid much better if they played ff14

#

Their raids are legit dance choreography

#

RL told me they bought me for the DR poison and I didn't put it on, nobody noticed dogekek

#

I really am the worst

wheat edge
upbeat cradle
#

It fits with my adamantine sharpening stone and +3 stamina on gloves

#

Why play TBC classic when we have TBC at home on retails

zenith flare
#

I just found out the shadow dance trick before raid pull i feel so stupid

upbeat cradle
#

Do you reckon if i start adding dad jokes in notes when I apply to keys I'll get accepted more easily

astral gust
#

Is it worth dropping trix after buffs?

tribal blade
#

realistically you're only going DS on a handful of raid fights

astral gust
#

Thx

#

Mythic plus

#

?

tribal blade
#

DS is horrible in keys

#

trickster way better

astral gust
#

Thx

tribal blade
#

basically DS will only be played for pure ST situations

short radish
#

or escalating blades Pepegrin

tribal blade
#

so you hit reck prepot

#

and it doesn't overlap with light's potential?

short radish
#

yup

tribal blade
#

SHEEEEESH

#

cool

short radish
# tribal blade cool

wait till you find out about equipping a gear set with haste heavy so you have 12 second dance without using TFD for 7/8 dungeons

alpine wraith
#

haste set is to proc haste on reck pot

#

becasue guidon does not reset on key beginning

short radish
#

yeah someone mentioned it earlier today

#

so you sit in a haste heavy gear set. press reck 2 seconds before timer and equip your real gearset

#

so then you can go into the next pull with a 12 second dance and lights potential

tribal blade
#

jesus

short radish
#

i mean you could also go into it with a shit ton more mastery

#

but the reckleness "snapshots" better with dance

tribal blade
#

yeah i would just do the mast tbh

#

imagine you accidentally start the key early

short radish
#

so like on dungeons where youre pulling in the first 5 seconds (MT/Seat/Skyreach(?)

#

it's 30 second reck

#

28 seconds on key start. 10 second timer

#

18 seconds

#

pop dance in first 5 seconds

#

and your next dance should also be able to snapshot the haste from the reck potion

#

arguarbly for WS i think the snapshotting haste is also better than the mastery

#

because you have 10 seconds of grouping pack as well

#

well

#

probably like 15 seconds before you acutally hit the mobs

#

so 5 acutal seconds of reck pot

#

may as well get the snapshot

tribal blade
#

that's true yeah

short radish
#

acutally WS i dont even hit mobs till 22 seconds according to my log

#

but yeah

#

tech

tribal blade
#

our boy is finally haste pilled

#

unless this is his raid gear set

short radish
#

the exact 682

tribal blade
#

he's a MACHINE

#

i'm looking at the #2 chinese rogue

#

hard to tell because i can't see his wow page, but i think he's also going for 684ish

#

judging on how much haste he has on his gear

short radish
#

meanwhile im out here with 710 haste

tribal blade
#

i'm guessing they're getting into the super high key territory

short radish
#

its so jover for me

tribal blade
#

bosses are taking a long time

#

and playing low haste sub is inting your boss dam

tribal blade
short radish
#

weeewooo weee wooooo

anyone here sims near Fuus 130k sheetsim?

I have 671 haste it's so joever

Fuu has vantus rune and pre dance in expert mode

hollow spear
#

If you sim regularly you cannot get close

modest river
#

ah

sly shore
#

vantus rune and pre-dance

hollow spear
#

I'm simming at 136k or so

#

With these things

sly shore
#

this is trickster

hollow spear
#

Booo

sly shore
#

I need to get some items before I can even think and DS

#

and even then I don't want to think about it

hollow spear
#

Haha

modest river
#

honestly trickster is what im looking at, im at 120k with 290 ilvl so in a bit of confuse

#

but im guessing its the expert mode things

hollow spear
#

Idk, put a vantus rune

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

And see what you get

#

The pre pull thingy is like max. 1%

sly shore
#

it's like 400 dps for me

#

it's minimal

hollow spear
#

120k sounds low

sly shore
#

probably super unoptimised gear, it's w/e

hollow spear
#

It's literally over for them wdym

hollow spear
#

Eh that's ds

open fulcrum
#

I'm stupid you asked for expert mode forgive me..

modest river
#

while its not the most optimised gear, i cant be misssing 10k dps somewwhere

hollow spear
#

You read the part about vantus?

modest river
#

yup

hollow spear
#

Yeah, so it's not 10k, is it

modest river
#

damn, didn't expect such a redundancy in a morning conversation.

is vantus plus pre pull 12k dps?

hollow spear
#

I am expecting someone to put in a minimum of effort to come up with a real number

#

I gain 6k from a vantus rune alone

worldly root
dusky yacht
#

Hmm

dusky yacht
#

I haven’t normally simmed in ages lmao

hollow spear
#

I do and I don't have ring set nor mythic neck

hollow spear
#

you're basically pissing away almost 200 points of secondary stat

sick swift
#

If I'm already BiS in trickster should I try super hard to pivot to DS for the fights that want pure ST (I am missing mythic guidon and eternal voidsong, but I do have them hero)?

hollow spear
#

Do you have a heroic lura ring?

sick swift
#

Not yet

modest river
#

still, ive never had 873 haste

hollow spear
#

Yes, that one is on me, I apologize. I had haste flask active due to both trickster and deathstalker using it in my gear profiles.

#

Then again: 5 crafted pieces, one heroic piece, neither the alleria neck nor the ring set

raw wadi
modest river
#

its checked for me as well, let me resim

hollow spear
#

it's 126k with vantus and prepull

modest river
opal lake
#

which is about 600 gain each

upbeat sorrel
#

was looking at lura kill rankings and found something weird anyone know what im looking at here

#

are these real characters?

raw wadi
#

Not sure but i guess fuu is also not even close to 700 haste.
And his dagger is also without haste. Maybe there is something wrong in the sim.

hollow spear
#

No, the sim is just superhuman

#

And needs less haste

modest river
#

sim accounts for lesser haste, we need to account for slightly more for the delay, so thats another bit of dps, good shout

#

the sockets and neck and 300 dps per crafted item replace would bring me almost at the numbner

opal lake
#

if you want to add it here is the header

itll probably change with slightly different gear, but ive simmed it in top gear

modest river
#

my sims at 5 mins, thats not it

vale pine

enchants, flasks, weapon runes, race is something people often have diffrent

yea figured it out, 126k is way more dealable than 118k mentally, needed to know what i was missing in the sim and gear

raven plinth
#

"So is Sub Rogue hard-locked into Deathstalker for Mythic raiding now?"

dusky yacht
#

Absolutely not

#

It’s better in ST, two gear sets or at least the DS set may be preferred, so you can do both.

#

But Trickster is still better in AoE and many encounters are, at least to some extent, AoE.

raven plinth
#

Thanks for the reply. Re-gearing for 1,100 haste just feels like too much of a pain, though... 😭

dusky yacht
#

I’m playing Trickster until I can comfortably switch between the two without too much hassle, likely after crown is on farm.

Note that you can also use haste flask with DS

you also would not aim to have secret in 2nd dance as DS

as more damage is in DM compared to secret

you would just dance a 2nd time in blades

debating race changing but i'm Jeeves the mechagnome, kinda my brand

if i race change the name won't fit anymore

i should ask the RL to put a sign on my head dogeKek

i wouldn't blame them for that, i deactivate allied nameplates in raid

I cant see gnomes am i blind?

upbeat cradle

nah we're just stealthed

cinder nimbus
upbeat cradle
#

guys have you seen the big buffs coming ? bet they'll change nothing to the class/specs people want in their keys anyways

cinder nimbus
#

Yh

upbeat cradle
#

Buffs to lots of hero talents tree that are not used and will probably be used only by outcasts

vagrant sinew
#

those buffs went live 2days ago

hazy breach
#

Also theyre not intended to "change anything" about the meta

#

Theyre there to make the worst hero talents slightly less bad so you wont be as far behind if you like playing them

#

If they made tuning adjustment that made DKs bad in m+ a lot of people would be very upset since theyve spent a bunch of time rerolling and gearing to be a meta class, so blizzard doesnt really like doing those types on changes

flat beacon
#

Can someone explain why deathstalker needs so much more haste ?

sly shore
#

because trickster has reduced cooldown on secret technique

#

that deathstalker doesn't

hazy breach
#

Also longer dance to more reliably fit 2 darkest nights in every dance

flat beacon

Oh I see Ty!

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? (DS) / A supercharged combo point? (Trickster) - :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).
zenith flare
#

Should I be going into Shadow blades with 5 stacks of flawless and also how do guarantee that i do so

hazy breach
#

No, flawless form is not something you should be paying attention to at all

analog granite
#

Like dk and devourer are a certain amount of % ahead of other dps

#

Why not aura buff the other dps to bring it more in line

hazy breach
analog granite
#

But they stop before all dps spec are somewhat equal so it seems like they actually want some specs ahead of others rather than on equal footing

tribal blade
#

they have the philosophy of not shaking up the meta too much

analog granite
#

You could give devastation evoker like % overall buff and it would still be shit probably

hazy breach
#

Well again, youre assuming the goal is for them to be equal

sly shore
#

usually it's withing +/- 5% I think?

hazy breach
#

The goal with tuning changes is to make players happier/less upset about the current balance of the game.
If you make another spec better than DKs, all the people that spent time leveling and gearing a DK will be upset that its no longer the meta spec. That doesnt really fulfil the goal

warm marlin
#

end the dk reign of terror

hazy breach
#

We saw it a bit with the random insano guardian buffs, but tank players often already have all/most tanks levelled and/or geared, whereas dps players generally dont

warm marlin
#

I think a little bit of it is that it is so so easy to gear a tank

#

you can just roll into any pug you want at very low ilvl and grind

#

and obv so many less of them

hazy breach
#

Thats true too

vale pine
#

to be fair, some things are rly poorly balanced

tribal blade
#

surely we won't have DK be meta for a 5th season in a row

vale pine
#

e.g. DK is now the meta spec for mythic+ for more than 1 xpac

warm marlin
#

I don't think its a coincidence that dk and dh are both probably the two tankiest specs in the game btw

tribal blade
#

that's the holy trinity of key pushing

#

tanky+high dmg

warm marlin
#

ddh also gets ranged kick on a melee cd

#

i think with a melee lockout too

tribal blade
#

i didn't even know that

#

that's actually cracked

hazy breach
#

Well the new spec being cracked the first season its out isnt unexpected though, thats just what blizzard does

wheat edge
tribal blade
#

TRUE

wheat edge
warm marlin
#

devourer has like 30% passive mit to magic damage

wheat edge
#

Did you know it has 5% perma dr on lura cause its fire damage stagger just works as a full dr instead

#

This is just perma 5% dr for some reason on lura garf

tribal blade
#

i'm too stupid to understand how this talent works

#

i keep rereading it and nothing is happening

#

nvm i think i got it now lol

#

brain mush

wheat edge
#

If you get meleed you take 95% phys damage and then 5% fire damage over time

tribal blade
#

got it yeah

wheat edge
#

But on lura it doesnt trigger the over time damage for some reason

tribal blade
#

so just a small stagger

scarlet heath
#

unless the melee is fire dmg, then you just take 90%

tribal blade
#

OH weird

scarlet heath
#

no stagger

wheat edge
#

So you take 95% damage and then it doesnt stagger

#

Apparently it also was a thing on kyveza (shoutout shadarek the goat)

warm marlin
#

you ever just kick a mob and then have 45% mitigation with nothing else active

ancient leaf
#

if i have ST READY AND CDG would i do CDG first in dance or still do the ST

ancient leaf
#

but then u waste stacks on building the next cdg no

tribal blade
#

yeah that's just a feelsbad

#

moment

#

but it is what it is

ancient leaf
#

okay

#

even if all targets are fazed already?

tribal blade
#

cycling sectec asap is more important

tribal blade
#

you don't need to pay attention to your targets being fazed unless you're going to cast coup on a target w/o fazed

wheat edge
tribal blade
#

because coup is bugged and will not give you full stacks if your target is not fazed

ancient leaf
#

omg i didnt knew that ty

tribal blade
#

the 1 shot season

warm marlin
#

ye good times

tribal blade
#

and whenever havocs would fuck up their blade dance timing

#

BAM

#

dead

warm marlin
#

holding blade dance on the charge guy in brh and on the tree boss in dht

#

so i can live

wheat edge
#

With how hp is balanced atm its so crazy op also

warm marlin
#

oh god and the last boss of atal dazar

wheat edge
#

Cause our hp pool compared to damage intake is big

warm marlin
tribal blade
#

yeah the tree boss was where i would see dhs die the most haha

#

that season was actually somewhat chill for rogues in a lot of ways

hazy breach
#

Just feint garf_sit

tribal blade
#

because all the 1 shots everyone was wringing their hands over

tribal blade
#

that season was also a lot of

#

invite from lfg

#

"oh you're not outlaw"

#

you have been uninvited from the group

tribal blade
#

and then it became hell on earth

warm marlin
#

yep

#

just made the insane kick damage thing unkickable

tribal blade
#

yeah that fight became so bad

warm marlin
#

you had to hold blade dance to shield + blur to live that fight AND you had to hold meta to immune

#

and there were 8 million spiders in the arena as landmines

#

even doing the kite strat

tribal blade
#

also a significant dmg check

shadow snow
tribal blade
#

i actually made title that season as sub

#

that's by far my proudest title

shadow snow
#

u had neltharus and brackenhide that season

tribal blade
#

during the aug god comp season

#

don't forget uldaman

shadow snow
#

OMG

warm marlin

my best uld was with a non meta comp

was a butt clencher

week three of sub rogue, got my first orange parse! 😄 Mythic Aversian XD

shadow snow
#

yeah that season was the hardest ever

peak ice

is a crit flask better for std

swift tinsel
#

That whole place was made to make healers reroll to other roles

peak ice

or is it much of a much

#

on trick

tribal blade
peak ice
#

yeahh

tribal blade
#

i have significantly more mast than crit as trickster

#

and when i sim mast vs crit flask

#

crit flask is +0.1%

tribal blade
shadow snow
#

blizzard wanted healers to reroll

tribal blade
#

actually i think i hated being in every single dungeon that season lol

#

except maybe neltharus tbh

shadow snow
#

all of em where huge heal checks

tribal blade
#

yeah that season was really hard on healers

#

i swapped to dwarf for that season

hollow spear
#

how over is it?

shadow snow
#

its like blizzard wanted people to stop playing heal

tribal blade
tribal blade

Don't you love the smell of "Declined", "Full" and "Cancelled" in the morning

sage ivy
#

just died to this because u cant cloak it lol

#

they just forget to add a dmg type?

hazy breach
#

Theres a bunch of stuff cloak doesnt work on

marble sail
#

depression being one

sage ivy
#

y just thought this one was funny because it just deals typeless dmg, making it uncloakable

#

usually it actually says fire or some shit and you cant cloak it anyway

hazy breach
#

It does magic damage

#

But only the first second of cloak works on it

sage ivy
#

i actually timed it for that

#

still killed me

#

nvm i was like .1 sec too early xdd

hazy breach
#

Cloak also almost never works on pools on the ground anymore

tribal blade
#

yeah i've died quite a few times this season to that exact thing

#

can't really trust cloak this season

haughty mural
#

schroedingers cloak

hazy breach
#

"oh i have cds up, ill just cloak this PURPLE MAGIC CIRCLE to continue to dps"

#

"oh i died to magic damage"

#

many such cases

tribal blade
#

that happened to me in the pit gauntlet 🙂

sage ivy
#

whats different this season

hazy breach
#

Nothing

sage ivy
#

or has it always been like this

tribal blade
#

always been this way

hazy breach
#

Its been ass for a while now

tribal blade
#

i guess they just coded way more mechanics than usual this way

lilac stag
#

Just press AMS

hazy breach
#

Ye imagine if cloak worked on everything, gave you energy AND had a 40s cd instead of 2 min

cinder nimbus
#

just remove cloak of shadow from rogue

or maybe play ranged class

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.

Is that a big dps lost to apex spercharged evisc ?

hazy breach
#

You don't want to go out of your way to supercharge it

#

As in don't strike at full cp for it

marble sail
#

how far away is it from being actually better to send 2 supercharged evis instead of tech? double finality must have made it quite alot better?

crimson thorn
#

Deathstalker is still better in single target even if i only reach 900 haste?

sly shore
#

NO

#

oops caps lock, no

crimson thorn
#

So only if i can get to 1100 haste, ok thx

hollow spear
#

I think it's actually simming higher even with only 900 haste

#

But I would either go for 1.100 or not switch

#

Personal preference tho

crimson thorn

Ye, i think the same

fallow ingot

was blasting lura boss dmg kek

Without lust you can' fit in a supercharged ST

@warm marlin forbidden ritual bug fixed already. imagine having that kind of service.

The robot hates me, puzzlebox+guidon sims better than guidon + solarflare (no gaze yet) 🙁

What are you simming?

kind slate

ST 1 boss

lilac stag

link?

north schooner
#

well prism is hero track

kind slate
#

Ye no luck there

#

I dont mythic raid so I'm kinda at the mercy of the bonus rolls / vault

upbeat cradle
#

you can probably pug averzian and chimaerus mythic tbh

kind slate
#

I've tried simming solarflare at 298 still worse than double on use. Guidons not myth track either

tribal vortex
#

don't bother with such choices

#

even if sim says fine, it is not for us

north schooner
#

at 0.2% you can still run prism and not have to deal with poopbox anyway

kind slate
#

I'm not gonna run double on use ^^

upbeat cradle
#

yeah honestly i'd lose 0.2-0.4% rather than use box lmao

kind slate
#

I use the box for assa

#

its fine, but its cringe as hell for sub

#

Just got the guidon today

hollow spear
north schooner
#

also make sure to sim with mastery flask too, it can make a difference

hollow spear
#

Not sure you're going to hit the additional global with 1032 haste

north schooner
#

the sim defaults to crit flask

kind slate
#

I've tried it before, simmed worse than crit

fallow ingot
hollow spear
#

I don't doubt that you're topping boss damage, but you're leaving quite a bit on the table

fallow ingot

Will have quit the haste needed with rootmire ring anyway

somber sun

Can lowkey kill lura before that no ?

hollow spear

I sure hope I will

fallow ingot

ppl are lost in P2 atm

You can add that yes

Doesn't matter much besides making number go up though

ok how do I force the advanced sim to use haste flask ?

Just flask=name_of_flask_2

thanks

wet robin

so im pushing 1200 haste DS and it feels a lot better. placebo? im an idiot? sounds reasonable?

lilac stag
#

expert line addition is just the prepull stuff, which fuu has included in the sheet sims

upbeat cradle
#

and the vantus ?

wet robin
vale pine
#

the expert mode lines just give you two empowered combo points at the start of the fight

dusky yacht

How much would a good trickster sim be

upbeat cradle

i guess 120k+ ?

lilac stag
#

I’m at 126

with vantus ?

130 I think is where it tops out

126 without vantus?

"Warning: Unknown option 'flask' with value 'flask_of_the_blood_knights_2', ignoring"

did i make a typo?

let me check

Started beloren yesterday, should i play DS in the fight?

upbeat cradle

maybe without a s

north schooner
#

you can just add the flask in quick/top gear mode through the UI, you don't need to add it in expert mode

upbeat cradle
#

yeah but then i wouldnt' have the two supercharged right

north schooner
#

no you can still enable expert mode in there

north schooner
#

and add the pre-SC

vale pine
#

works perfect, not a problem

#

where did you put the line?

#

at the top i assume, you need to put it below the actor

upbeat cradle
#

oh yeah the custom thing at the bottom

vale pine
#

e.g. like this

upbeat cradle
#

okedoke thanks

light finch
#

Looked at Warcraftlogs on the best Deathstalkers on Lura Mythic, all of them dont seem to give a fuck about Evi before using SecTec at the start of the Shadowdance, do you guys think its because of muscle memory ?

north schooner
#

just add it like this and the rest you can do through the UI

vale pine
#

if you want to compare flasks

dusky yacht
#

I’m at 125,9k with vantus (trickster), but I got a new belt waiting with socket so I just need a recraft and it will prolly shoot up quite a bit as a result, I got the chim belt on atm. (Haven’t had time past few days to do anything but go to raid barely on time)

you can also just copy/paste this below your /simc in advanced

I remember those days

surreal orbit

I was one of the persons promoting raidbots as a approachable alternative to local simulations

dusky yacht
#

There was a certain kind of charm to nobody knowing wtf was going on

vale pine
#

we also created dungeon slice ^^

#

as a collaborative effort of the rogue theorycrafters at the time back then

sly shore
#

yuh was made to attribute restealths

vale pine
#

we started out with a custom fight script, but then generalized it more

shy ermine
#

I remember running simcraft on my laptop and the fans going crazy

vale pine
#

slice is basically the best trade off we found so far

#

there is dungeon routes too, which comes with its own set of problems

#

as its technically a worse approach, because its static and apl's are not designed for fights like this

#

tho i would say, any tool is as good as the person understanding it ^^

vale pine
#

fun fact, someone could technically write a cuda backend for simc

#

and speed it up significantly

But idk midnight is very oddly optimised

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.

Hi, do you guys recommend DS or Trickster on Beloren? Started prog yesterday

dense geode
#

Both are fine whichever youre more comfortable with.

DS does more damage which is what matters most on Beloren.

sacred magnet
#

Gotta sim and see if i can reach the haste threshold and will try to practice it

dense geode
#

If you need to practice it and youre approaching prog

#

you should just stick to trickster

#

You being DS vs Trickster shouldnt make or break if you kill or not

upbeat cradle

do it like me, practice while progging, they won't notice it anyways kek

low risk high reward

start around mid damage meter and end up top 3 late on the prog pepeBusiness

guys is it worth to switch DS for raids ?

normal chasm
#

Having checked pins, will one be made for when to pick DS on diff raid bosses? Or do I just subsitute in DS for all bosses that say trickster ST? I'd imagine that ST trickster is still best on chim for example, or maybe because im a stat pad enjoyer on the ads in that fight

surreal orbit
#

I would imagine it starts to pull away more as group ilvl goes up and ads just survive less time
