Hello there.
I have both in renown 80, last time I looked at a guide, Venthyr was recommended.
zoldyck on subtlety?
Played assassination before, so used Zoldyck Insignia.
this whole opener is cursed
you get 252 rings from doing zm
Getting some better rings is definitely something to go for.
minalba also mentioned conduits
and soulbind
theo + sub conduits
in terms of gameplay
you have a 50% uptime of rupture
what is rly brutally low esp. if you are used to play assassination
slice and dice uptime is good
Never was a problem as assassination regarding rupture - I think it's due to the time I'm in Shadow Dance atm and not having it in my stealth binding.
you used 1 vanish over a 5 min 30
the opener as minalba mentioned, just look up the opener in the #subtlety-faq
your 2nd dance is weird
the fight is halondrus that should allow you a near 100% uptime
yet you have a 16 sec downtime
and your 2nd symbols, even tho the first one was 9 sec in the fight is also delayed
your 2nd dance is delayed for no reason there, also rupture would probably have to been used before that on 41
shiv is not used at all
So I should focus more on my uptime over all, of rupture, use shiv more often as well as my shadow dance.
your flag use here is totally useless
the only reason to use shiv would be to sooth
there is also never a reason to use shuriken throw on this encounter
Guessing that's just bad placement from me.
symbols was ready there
Shiv force of habit from playing sin?
Forced habit from Assassination I think.
i mean, i can go through the entire log and repeatatly point out similar mistakes
but basically you rly need to learn the core aspects of the spec
the basics
for venthyr the core aspect is how to play flag and why
Yeah, I thought so - sub is very very different from last time I used to played it.
But basically
- So more uptime on rupture, less shiv - no shiv mostly.
- Fix my convent & conduits.
- Better gear
- Look out for vanish and use it
- Better basic understanding
- More focus on when to use Shadow Dance with sync from other abilities
How does this sound?
basically you want to get 30 stacks if possible
and thats why you flag-finish-cooldowns
and it is very important to line up cooldowns
shadow dance gives more cp income from strike
and ultimately allows you to get higher stacks
this is why this is rly bad
you don't start with a finisher after flag, so already make it harder to reach 30
Yeah. I noticed that when it got pointed it, big flaw.
then you basically only have a half dance left because you used flag before that
and you did not have a dance to line up
don't go for "higher crit", go for better gear, your ilevel is SUPER low
for cooldowns
you want to keep symbols on cooldown if possible
delaying it only for flag
if needed and fit the conditions mentioned in #subtlety-faq
shadow dance you line up with symbols
and spare uses when about to cap
you can usually use 2 dances every flag back to back
if you want to play kyrian, dance use becomes a lot more agressive
also downtime
Hmm, okay. Got it noted.
one of the realy bad things
you essentially have the boss you can stick to close to 100% of the fight
you should rly not move away from the boss if not nessecery
having 16 sec downtime means you just lose damage
it is a essential thing in general
you can unbind shiv in just about any raid encounter
Pretty much what I just did a few minutes ago. 
But yeah, I think I got the main points @night garnet , need to read a bit more about the core of the spec and playstyles. Much appreciated for the help.
Especially if you haven't played it for 3 years or so.
