Gotta hit him with the, now show priority mob dps

#

The ultimate gotcha of no context

marble sail
#

bro u gotta make a 2nd rogue and go undercover for those keys man

#

😭

lunar bluff
#

i have no clue

#

but i legit did the same dps over a month ago

plush roost
#

I had a low ass roll run like that too

#

Smodge

small sleet
#

Tank prob did all necrolytes route

#

You’re legally allowed to sue them when they do that

#

Blade flurry going from doing damage to 8 targets to 4, super dps hack

plush roost
#

I yell at all tanks

small sleet
#

wait I guessed right LOL

#

AINT NO WAY GWOZ WITH THE ALL NECROLYTES ROUTE WITH PHYS COMP

plush roost
#

Only 1 necrolyte allowed madge

#

Wdym

#

Didnt he just mc the necro on garfrost

small sleet
#

I included overkill

plush roost
#

Oh LMAO

small sleet
#

And awangs dps went up 50k

#

Because of how much blade flurry damage was lost throughout the key

plush roost
#

Gwoz routes strike again my goat

desert oasis
#

!pp

#

do we take potent powder for drag and pally?

plush roost
#

Ye

north schooner
#

ok but why didn't awang just hit the non 0hp mobs with bf instead? noob

leaden prairie
#

that doesnt count tho

#

cause you get them on fist boss

#

perma cleaving

west tide
#

chat i dont want to have 2 setups what i do ds only in farm garf_sit

spice matrix
upbeat cradle
#

well

#

i just did first 4 bosses on feral and

#

woah

#

that's so much more engaging than sub

#

😂

lunar bluff
upbeat cradle
#

i died on every boss

#

bad reflexes

lunar bluff
#

its funny looking at ur dmg after a 10 target pull whatever and its like 250k

#

bf hitting dead mobs

small sleet
# leaden prairie cause you get them on fist boss

That is true, like half of the overkill damage is from first boss alone, but the route did still have 5 necrolytes, which would make your overall look worse than if you only pulled like 2 total. Realistically it doesn’t actually matter because you still time the key fine pulling em

plush roost
#

Realistically it matters because i dont like being mogged

small sleet
#

Hmm good point I’ve changed my worldview

west tide
main blade
#

do i want mastery in algethar

#

or the haste one

west tide
#

yall did not deserve that

spice matrix
small sleet
#

@hazy breach is there any shadow damage we do that wouldnt be buffed by dark brew's extra 10%? im doin some serious cookin right now

hazy breach
#

Builder clones

small sleet
#

ok hear me out, how cooked would this be for last boss of seat

#

idk how to sim a boss like that so im going off vibes

#

symbolic victory instead of lingering darkness seems like it might be better because of holding for 1 min combined with lingering darkness not applying to the damage amps, but im definitely going purely off feelycraft for this one

hazy breach
#

Symbolic doesnt buff shadowed finishers or apex clones garf_sit

small sleet
#

ok im still gonna try this build just with lingering darkness

#

i think pe is fine over warning signs as long as you have a shaman, but thats also vibes based

warm marlin
#

You have BL for one of the burns?

small sleet
#

sometimes people like lusting the 3rd boss to make it safer, but yeah if you have lust, one of the burns is guaranteed fine

warm marlin
#

I think I will enforce lust on 3rd boss

#

but if u did lust Lura then warning signs prob loses a bit

peak ice
#

Wouldn’t you just wanna burst damage Lura though

small sleet
#

i think deathstalker burst is pretty good

#

being able to enter the burn with dn already up makes it burst harder than if you had to send cds on pull or somethin

#

i looked into cloud cover a bit for this fight but it seemed pretty meh

peak ice
#

But what does lingering shadows do

hazy breach
#

If youre gonna swap spec should prob swap to deathstalker yeah

peak ice
#

Backstab does 50% more damage as shadow?

hazy breach
#

Lingering darkness

small sleet
#

o i

#

am noob

#

and talking about wrong talent

#

yeah i meant this one

peak ice
#

Oh no it’s me

#

Fuck me they’re way too close

valid turtle
#

Anyone using something other that oil? Currently have giga haste

sullen hare
#

How giga

#

Like DS with no haste flask giga?

valid turtle
#

tribal blade
# small sleet

does it become harder to apex DNs with PV instead of WS

#

or does that not matter because you'll be in blades i guess

hazy breach
#

I mean its for lura, he can stack up like 10+ sht before the phase

small sleet
#

ya what eleem said

tribal blade
golden harbor
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
sturdy mortar
small sleet
#

blade flurry only hits 8 targets or 7 or however many it is

#

if its hitting the mobs that are invulnerable

#

thats damage thats not killing the pack

#

so like, if theres 4 invulnerable mobs getting hit by blade flurry instead of other mobs in the pack, you're effectively target capped at 4 instead of 8

sturdy mortar
tribal blade
#

iirc they made blade flurry smart target at some point in either DF or TWW

#

because i remember this exact issue being talked about and then blizz "fixed" it

#

not sure if it's broken again

swift tinsel
#

if they version diff'd blade flurry to hit dead/immune targets again that'd be pretty par for the course

small sleet
#

the mobs arent dead or immune though

#

they take damage is the problem

#

its just that they "cant die"

tribal blade

#

It’s kinda insane to look back at some of the rogue bugs and how long they take to get fixed

tribal blade
#

yeah some of the sub ones were next level

#

wooooooo

tribal blade
#

@small sleet have you tried eleem's DB build yet?

small sleet
#

yeah i just did a key with it a second ago. idk how i feel about it yet. it didnt really feel much different, which i mean, it kinda shouldnt given its like a 1% swing and doesnt change playstyle

tribal blade
#

gotcha

small sleet
#

i might try it a couple more times

tribal blade
#

i suppose maybe it would feel a bit better with the DB build in a very ST and evis spammy dungeon

#

i'm gonna try it out too

small sleet
#

charrend was jokingly talking about dropping a point in dark shadow to take potent powder again in the db build

#

and i simmed it, and its like, 3% st loss for 3% aoe gain compared to the normal m+ build

#

so i might try it in maisara caverns or somethin where youre mostly aoeing

#

all in all, no matter how you change the talents you're pretty much doin the same thing regardless lmao

peak ice
#

Can anyone share what their ui looks like, i was looking at changing mine but not sure what to do

prime glen
#

is numbing poison in the build better for raids than atrophic

small sleet
#

No you should use atrophic for raid

tribal blade
#

@small sleet 19 SR with DB build

#

i didn't exactly play this key very well

#

but yeah dmg seems not bad

#

MASSIVE instant poison dmg from DB

small sleet
#

not bad pretty solid damage

tribal blade
#

wow

small sleet
#

what was your st

#

on 2nd boss

#

lookin like

tribal blade
#

uhhh not great tbh

small sleet
#

o

#

you kinda gotta enter 2nd boss with cds up

#

or you only get 2 in

tribal blade
#

i was very focused on doing the beam tech well

small sleet
#

i mean not bad, but could obviously be a little higher

tribal blade
#

yeah i went into this with i think blades on something like 15-20 sec cd?

small sleet
#

oh yeah doing your cds while running back and forth takes a lot of effort lmao

tribal blade
#

so 1 dance then blades

small sleet
#

oh yeah and with surv and fury that boss isnt lasting long enough for 3 blades

tribal blade
#

but overall i like this build

#

well i guess it's not really any diff than the other lol

small sleet
#

i feel like its noticeable when i reck pot in big aoe pulls

tribal blade
#

MMM

small sleet
#

but past that it feels the same

#

i prob wont swap to it long term purely because i like potent powder and the idea of it lmao

tribal blade
#

LOL that's fair yeah

#

i also felt kinda useless on 3rd boss besides throwing out kidneys

small sleet
#

its cool to have some variety and be able to use dark brew either way

#

i play 3rd boss full single target

#

and try not to help with the adds

#

at all

tribal blade
#

yeah i did the same

small sleet
#

fury surv doesnt need help in your comps case

tribal blade
#

it just feels bad to see surv doing same boss dmg as me

small sleet
#

just kidney when youre behind the pillar

tribal blade
#

and over double add dmg

small sleet
#

surv is very strong

#

they do same boss damage as us

tribal blade
#

oh yeah surv is nutty

#

i broke 3700

small sleet
#

id love to play surv as an alt right now if i had a group to play it with

tribal blade
#

SHEESH

small sleet
#

hell yeah grats

tribal blade
#

i'm having to calm my fomo lol

#

it's kinda tough being retired

small sleet
#

can always just casually pug without the goal of hitting title

#

and just see how high you can go

tribal blade
#

yeah i decided to solo pug today randomly

#

even though i made the rule of not doing that

small sleet
#

i think its fun if youre not worried about whether the key gets timed or not

tribal blade
#

i thought so long as i don't become mega tilted or become super addicted to the IO gain again

#

i'm good

small sleet
#

yeah exactly

tribal blade
#

i'm more relaxed in keys now

#

not worried about the IO haha

#

before when i was title pushing every key brick was so bad on the mental

#

i made this note "former title pusher vibe keying now"

#

for when i sign up to stuff

small sleet
#

half the time i pug into keys i dont even need for io

#

and i just get io when friends wanna play

tribal blade
#

niiiice

#

that's actually a trap i fell into a lot before

#

i would always only sign up for IO keys

#

i knew a lot of people who would sign up for non IO keys if queue was dead or they weren't getting invites

#

and then as a consequence to that they would get more btags of good players or get invited to do IO keys after with them

#

overall a good move

small sleet
#

yeah like right now all i need for resil 21 is skyreach, which is puggable and pretty easy in theory, but i dont really like pugging that key so i just pug into the keys i enjoy and reroll my key until i see someone i know has it queued up lmao

tribal blade
#

that's fair yeah

small sleet
#

im a professional leecher

tribal blade
#

LOL

#

every key pusher is a pro leecher 😉

#

it's actually so funny

#

i know some not great players

#

who get really far because they're good at socializing

#

what's the word uh

#

networking

small sleet
#

biggest thing that makes me a leech is the fact i cant play outlaw LOL

fleet wharf
small sleet
#

no one wants me for push keys, and i dont wanna ruin their push keys

small sleet
#

so i just wait til they brick it

tribal blade
fleet wharf
#

prophet you are also playing in US servers from asia right?

small sleet
#

being likable and fun to be around gets you very far

fleet wharf
#

whats your ping at?

tribal blade
tribal blade
fleet wharf
#

idk if I am just bad at outlaw or it's really hard to play outlaw at that ping

tribal blade
#

if my ISP is suffering it's like 220-230ish

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

the big issue is spell queueing

fleet wharf
#

I still probably am

tribal blade
#

nah it's hard

#

you have to find the balance on how to mash your keys

#

outlaw wants to be mega button mashing

fleet wharf
#

well you need to react though

tribal blade
#

but if you mash with too high ping you fuck up spell queueing

#

i would always do shit like that, cast PS accidentally when i was at full CP

#

stuff like that

fleet wharf
#

yea, I built a set and tried but idk man, I was doing worse damage than even assa

tribal blade
#

i think it's not worth it

#

having high ping with outlaw feels like playing that spec with your own personal affix noone else has

#

i got pretty good at outlaw at one point during SL

#

but after SL with all the changes in DF it became too much for me to handle

fleet wharf
#

DF outlaw was just mental

#

and for such little gain too

tribal blade
#

yeah i started DF S1 as outlaw and had to give it up mid prog

#

it was just too much

#

which was fine because sub was good on the final bosses of that tier

small sleet
#

df s1 outlaw was so fun to me

tribal blade
#

i did like it!

#

i just had a hard time with the ping situation

small sleet
#

yeah that sounds brutal

tribal blade
#

but also i don't have fast reaction timing

#

i inherited that from my dad

#

so that combo makes playing outlaw so bad

#

#

you're a GAMER

small sleet
#

my buddy just got 22 resil done too, but i try not to bother him to play too often

tribal blade
#

small sleet
#

im probably gonna have to go bear druid for my actual team for m+

#

unfortunately

tribal blade
#

you should have seen me hounding charrend for 20 DFC and ML during S2 TWW

small sleet
#

LOL

tribal blade
#

i eventually got 20 DFC done with some buddies

#

and then edude helped me get 20 ML on the last day

#

like a G

small sleet
#

i should've gotten title as sub rogue that season

tribal blade
#

what did you play?

small sleet
#

i was tanking as vengeance

tribal blade
#

AHHH

small sleet
#

and playing sub on the side as an alt

tribal blade
#

i was playing sin

small sleet
#

for a while my rogue was higher io than my vdh

tribal blade
#

since it was kinda the melee arcane mage

small sleet
#

i timed 20 ml pretty early on my rogue

tribal blade
#

oh nice

small sleet
#

yeah sin was really good

tribal blade
#

but doing priory as sin

#

the mini boss with the shield

#

holy shit lol

#

terrifying

small sleet
#

same thing as sub LOL

tribal blade
#

TRUE haha

small sleet
#

cold blood sectech into the shield

#

and hit cloak or die

tribal blade
#

oh that's right sub was striking in aoe then

#

and CB sectec yeah

small sleet
#

part of me misses rupture for sub just cuz i liked having something to do while the pack got together

tribal blade
#

i do kinda miss that aspect

small sleet
#

i do like not having rupture for raid though

tribal blade
#

it felt like you were building up to your cds during gathers

#

instead of just mindless storm>BP

#

If my crafted bracer and boots are already 285, and I want to craft new engineering crafted haste bracers and boots,

Do I need another 160 mythic crest just to craft the same slot ?

#

Omg 😦

#

That's an ouch

check your crests below myth, you can convert them up if you haven't already

tribal blade

tribal blade
#

got to the last boss of nxp with not enough time

#

because these people ran the timer down by dying nonstop

#

yeah i got kinda tilted so i stopped 😉

plush roost
#

I got told going right on skyreach skip is bad and i was so close to crashing out

#

#

Dont make me go left and grapple to the right side and quickly run across

#

i'm so out of the loop i don't know what this skip is

plush roost
#

After 3rd boss u can meld skip the ele and bird

tribal blade
#

AHHH i see

#

oh yeah that would be worth

tribal blade
peak ice
#

for fights where u can get expose weakness

#

how much do you lose

tribal blade
#

as trickster you can apply it quite easily not in dance with silent storm buff

#

as DS you consume silent when you dance

#

but your dmg outside of dance is kinda irrelevant anyways

#

you have 10 secs of FW after dance ends, and then as DS you're afking with 1 mark stack anyways

ornate lake
#

@hazy breach so I tried the 2/2 Finality and Dark brew build for a 18 pits. Almost no difference in overall damage, so I know for sure it isn't a simbait garf_sit

ornate lake
#

But how do I isolate clone damage from the other damages, so I know it juiced up my clones. Details?

tribal blade
ornate lake
#

Yeah just checked details, not much

tribal blade
#

DB will just not buff builder clone dmg

#

eleem said they forgot to whitelist those spells for it

#

but it buffs everything else

#

sub does more shadow dmg than just clones, blades and shadowed finishers are both shadow too

ornate lake
fossil forge
#

Wtf are u guys cooking up

tribal blade
#

this tends to happen a lot, something about sub having all these different instances of dmg that are all coded differently or something

#

i'm not smart enough to explain it well

fossil forge
#

So nice to wake up at 9am instead of queueing up till 8am

tribal blade
#

it basically is a neutral build overall

#

except you do slightly more ST with the DB build, like +1.5%

#

imma lock in some sub keys

#

Enough of outlaw gaming

#

Its such a difference in invites though

tribal blade

and be fine

So im currently here stat wise

tribal blade

#

dont have much spare crests on freshs

tribal blade
#

but you're also low ilvl so your stat budget is smaller

Just solve that long-term design issue pleaaaaaase

If the raid buff only 'sometimes' works it isn't a raid buff coup_de_grace

I was not playing wow during covid

i started in nerubar …

(Them retooling it to be an aura we provide to everyone like mark would also be a valid solution)

Question, waiting for the supercharged st while in shadow blades on the 2nd SD is always optimal? And in m+ is light potential the best always or for big packs? I saw that in the guide references the mastery potion for m+ packs

wicked joltBOT
#

Trickster Shadow Blades Optimization:
During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back. This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.

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.

I tried it and any differences from the normal build aren’t noticeable to me. Felt like my damage was practically the same, but that’s pretty much what it should be according to the sim. The run I ran it in the route wasn’t great and the run itself wasn’t very clean, so I’ll probably run it a bit more to see if it feels different with a better run

slate marlin

I see

#

Didnt have time to test it myself

Which isnt as cursed as still nlt havin guidon

craggy fractal
#

Hello friends, I was wondering why no one (not even at high level) was using this talent instead of tricks! A 6s aoe 30% dmg reduction looks good on paper.. right ?

short radish
#

yeah

#

on paper

craggy fractal
#

is it .. bugged ? insert shocked pikachu face

short radish
#

well

#

no

#

acutally

#

technically no (as far as i know)

#

but it's usefulness is only really on paper

small sleet
#

Most dangerous mobs aren’t able to be cced is one of the main issues I see

short radish
#

because yeah sure 30% DR is good

#

but what reldo said

#

any mob that can be cc'd can also be interrupted

#

so probably should/would be interrupted anyway

#

so all youre really doing is preventing tank white swings

#

and who cares about the tanks

small sleet
#

TRUE

short radish
#

like maybe there's some random niche scenarios

#

like MT

#

and you do it on the healers that cast the dot

#

but it's honestly a lot of effort for not much noticable gain

craggy fractal
#

Yeeah yeah I thought the same but IF a cast goes through, at least it can be reduced, while tricks brings "nothing"

short radish
#

i mean yeah

#

youre not wrong

#

and there's n othing stopping you from taking it

#

but in lower keys you're not going to notice its effect in any meaningful way

#

and high keys it's rarely worth playing around

#

well it'd require a lot of effort

#

i dont thikn you'd do pulls/cc chains around it

#

but im not a filthy p*sher

#

so maybe there's stuff i dont konw

craggy fractal
#

alright, I was just wondering why because people over optimize everything and this looks like a case of "1st one gives you nothing and 2nd one sometimes in rare cases might give you something" so 2nd one looks better, again, on paper

small sleet
#

I mean tricks is a dps gain because you can hit before the pull is together. Not as noticeable on sub but extremely important for outlaw

tribal blade
short radish
#

and it's like

#

no one knows about what rogues bring anyway (because we bring nothing)

#

even if i bring it, it's not going to do anything

#

i rather just give myself QoL for playing this shit class

short radish
#

like the only time people realised rogues existance was the brief half a week when we dropped the poop cloud

#

you'd be surprised how many people dont even know about atro poison

but he definitely mentioned rogue funnel on that boss

he's #3 sub in the world iirc

I just want to see the fuu vs whispyr reaction to a cursed tslent tree

Got another question for you intelligent people: elusiveness, does it work and does it reduces the damages of DoTs when using feint

tribal blade
craggy fractal
#

Perfect

#

and lastly: if blades has X sec CD or less, I should delay sectech. Whats X?

#

I sound like a math teacher ffs

tribal blade
#

i'm not sure if i remember the exact number, but the clones finish hitting within 1.2(?) seconds of casting sectec

#

something like that

#

it's more so fitting the 2nd sectec into dance

craggy fractal
#

Ah no I didn't mean during blades

tribal blade
#

OH mb mb

craggy fractal
#

I meant when its on CD but sechtech is up

tribal blade
#

yeah if blades cd is 10 secs or less

#

don't send sectec

#

obviously if you want to blades immediately when the cd comes up you can stop sending sectec and dance earlier

craggy fractal
#

ok thats what I remembered but it feels better to send ST and delay blades (in m+ at least)

tribal blade
#

in general yeah that's better

You'd want 800 until you get guidon though

half apex
#

Guidon is my next item on the list

short radish
#

oh yeah good spot

tribal blade
#

the gems in your rings too

#

can change those out

short radish
#

two weapon oils is also +16 +16

#

2 rings + 16 + 16

half apex
#

Great advices guys. Didn't even think about those things and was wondering how to get it that high with just items

short radish
#

you can definitely do it with just items

tribal blade
short radish
#

eg nexus point rings are like +280 haste together

tribal blade
#

so i think the haste is showing oil updated haste right?

short radish
#

hmmmm

#

probably

tribal blade
#

not sure exactly how it works

wheat edge
#

Null and void plate for 58 haste (food buff)

short radish
#

neither. i would have thought oils not included at all

tribal blade
#

no idea tbh haha

wheat edge
#

or you could unequip gear except haste items and eat the highest secondary food for 64 🙂

latent remnant
#

Idk what the stats are on crafted 285 boots but probably worth looking at that too, could get some haste on it and just the iL upgrade would be nice

half apex
#

What about belt

latent remnant
#

oh yeah do you even have second embelishment

#

oh its on wrist

half apex
#

Yeah

tribal blade
latent remnant
#

belt idk if we're just purely talking about working on haste, would be +1 haste gain

tribal blade
#

so his haste is including oils

latent remnant
#

but in general good to upgrade still

wheat edge
#

all of the jank is solved by guidon tho so that should be giga prio

half apex
#

Yeah I'm hoping to get it this weekend from myth voidspire 🙃

#

Or vault

#

Have some voidcores also

latent remnant
#

Even heroic/champ track guidon would be big so try to focus on just getting the item rather than only wanting it myth for now

half apex
#

Gonna do heroic raid then also 👌🏽

slim anchor
#

Noticed some people for raid are under 700haste is that on purpose? Was playing around in raid and some m+ with some of the gear I have stored up now that I’m basically done with gear and oddly enough not running the hunt and being around 740 haste (which I could recraft my wrists to get to 700 or just under) but it feels better around that point personally unfortunately the dmg is kinda low I mean is that extra 40 crit really gonna make that up the dmg? Personally I don’t feel like it will

tribal blade
#

most people just round up to 700

slim anchor
#

Ah well okay that could make some differences I guess

tribal blade
#

it's not a massive difference

#

but i think every little bit helps

latent remnant
#

slightly more haste gives you more wiggle room with your burst windows of not needing to play perfect to the ms

tribal blade
#

you're right though, converting that 40 haste into crit or mast will not make a huge diff

#

but it's better spent on the crit or mast tbh

slim anchor
#

Okay that makes a lot of more sense idk if I can get to exactly 684 but I can definitely get close to it with what I got in my bags. Thank you

tribal blade
#

haste beyond what you need to meet the breakpoint is not amazing on sub

latent remnant
#

Seeing a 3:2 crit to mastery ratio on your stats so might want more mast gear-wise as well @half apex

tribal blade
#

but you can be fine at 684

slim anchor
#

Sims seems to want me to have more crit than mastery in raid.

tribal blade
#

crit and mast are neutral in ST

latent remnant
#

I wonder if sim makes crit more valuable because of that trinket's CDR function

tribal blade
#

oh true yeah

#

good point

slim anchor
#

I forgot the exact number but I think it I got down to 691 last night with one of the combos so I’ll go there lol

#

Only thing at this point I could change is my belt I think but I’m not going to go targeting a belt if I get one from vault cool if not then don’t care. Only thing I’m trying to get now is myth raid trinkets

tribal blade
#

who has that trink equipped

latent remnant
#

yee was still looking at the stats page linked earlier by the person i @ 'd

small sleet
short radish
#

hunt should also sim better than 2x arcanoweave

#

hunt strong

slim anchor
#

Yea I’ve already been comparing to logs the only big thing I seen was I haven’t been using vanish inbetween my first and 2nd dance window but I’m guessing I’m probably sending cds on the boss when I should wait the 2-3 seconds and use them on like the adds when they spawn in. Last night was my first night in mythic voidspire so it was rough to figure out the timings first time haha

lilac stag
slim anchor
#

I just figure the stats are easy swap around and the rotation will come more in getting more time on fights

small sleet
#

Vanish is pretty irrelevant to our damage, I wouldn’t worry about trying to optimize your use of it

half apex
#

So shadowmeld is also garbage?

short radish
#

in raid yeah

lilac stag

it’s great in m+

Just changed my race 😎

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.

@short radish i got bad news

#

i managed to put together a pretty convincing sim you could use to make a case for ds in m+

#

5% aoe loss, neutral st, 50% more damage to prio target

short radish
#

im blocking you so i can't see anything else

small sleet
#

LOOOOOOOOL

short radish
#

tbh

#

that cook doesnt sound too bad

#

5% aoe loss for 50% more prio is kinda... strong?

small sleet
#

trickster sim

#

fuck

#

hold on

#

ds sim

#

not quite 50% more prio but close

#

and its like 5.3% aoe loss or somethin

#

i bet you could make it closer with some more effort too

hollow spear

540 haste on the ds set LOL

bro

#

please

The helly

short radish
#

stop

hollow spear
#

Not even 2s extra dance gcd?

#

You can't be real

small sleet
#

if you had 1100 haste your st would be significantly ahead

#

but its a lot of aoe loss to get that

hollow spear
#

I get that, but it's below 700 even 😮

small sleet
#

you dont need as much haste for ds because no 1.2s coup global

hollow spear
#

Hmm, true

small sleet
#

but also the sim i made isnt giving as much leeway as is normally recommended either

#

ima try to put together this gearset as closely as i can and run one key with this shit later today and see how it feels lmao

#

about to be the most budget assassination rogue cosplay of all time

fleet wharf
#

aren't we worse cuz we don't get execute amp?

small sleet
#

yup!

#

lmao i dont think this is actually a good build at all, i just wanna see how truly bad it feels

fleet wharf
#

idk man this iteration of sub just feels awful to play

small sleet
#

i enjoy it even if its a bit simple

fleet wharf
#

I do agree there is something nice about it being so braindead, but the argument i'd like to make is assa didn't go anywhere

#

like why did they gut sub when we already have a simple spec?

tepid trellis
#

they gave that treatment to everything

#

they wanted everything to be easy / easier accessible

fleet wharf
#

idk man the 20 sec cadance just doesn't feel as impactful. I kind of get that they didn't want you to do 0 damage for 90 sec if you fucked up your burst window but this just feels weird

north spire
#

i loved tww subt but it was really unintuitive, i mostly miss old nimble flurry tho

red flame
#

I loved tww sub too but I much prefer the 20sec dance cds

vale pine
#

subtlety got hit harder than some others because of simplifications

#

blizz wanted to reduce burst

fleet wharf
#

like I get they want to simplify it a bit more, but idk, not giving anything to players who liked that kind of playstyle feels like a bit of an oversight

vale pine
#

but (as usual) the game is too big to do it consistently across classes

#

same with simplifications

#

we never saw coherent chanegs across all specs, but thats to be expected when you have a limited amount of devs and time

fleet wharf
#

but more than the burst, I think the part I miss the most about tww sub is having the flexibility to move the dances as you saw fit

vale pine
#

wow builds on the illusion of fairness and balance

fleet wharf
#

surely they'll give us 2 charges of sec tech next patch copium

vale pine
#

giving a refund would be great

#

like shots in the dark, just for secret

fleet wharf
#

yea, taht could work too

for m+? not shit its not good

for raid? more single target but you cant cleave anymore

even for raid, if you want boss damage, isn it better to just swap to assa?

ds sub does some pretty crazy st

fleet wharf

also, why is it just sub for lura?

Going from TWW s3 to any other iteration of sub was going to feel bad but this current iteration is a miss for me

fleet wharf
quaint lodge
#

tww s3 sub was good but man hitting backstab for a full minute sometimes was kinda sleeper so at least they kinda fixed that part of it which im a fan of

swift tinsel
#

I greatly dislike haste breakpoints, I greatly dislike haste having opposite interactions for dance and Sectech, I dislike the lack of a good niche that isn’t just boss damage, the raid buff situation feels bad, the moment-to-moment gameplay feels unrewarding

sullen hare
# fleet wharf you know what this seems like the correct response tbh. I am also having so much...

Idk about correct or incorrect when it comes to opinion, but it's certainly how I feel. I'm tired boss, why did blizzard take away our low target cleave and then make a bunch of low target cleave fights? I know the answer lies somewhere in the fact that trickster was using the same talents and same rotation for anything up to like 4 targets last expansion but for them to just take that away? Nah boss, I'm tired. I also don't want to play ds and they're back on their "numerically buff ds until it's just strong enough to where the discord will bend over backwards to find a build for it" territory. Like literally all of tww

swift tinsel

DS, for what it’s worth, at least has a little bit more going for it but in general the tree feels eh
