small cliff
#

opened a thread for it

sonic falcon
#

oh thanks but how does it work i dont know

#

the others who were willing to help dont seem to be in

hollow spindle
#

wot

#

u are missing an entire symbols cast

#

technically 2 but

sonic falcon
#

hm i dont remember why or what happened

sick goblet
#

you are missing anima CPs

small cliff
#

the fight is around 3:30 so it should have 7 casts

sick goblet
#

quite a lot

sonic falcon
#

but maybe i was soaking

sick goblet
#

think i can see at least like

#

3 anima cps

#

of different variations

#

not being used

#
  • not backstabbing between dances
sonic falcon
#

i am also trying to luck out the 2nd cp ending up using a finisher with 3 in a dance

sick goblet
#

dont do that

#

just try hit 2 out of dance

#

unless it magically falls into your lap and SHT is at like 50% or less

small cliff
#

don't start dance with a finisher

hollow spindle
#

u have evisc as ur first dance global multiple times

#

ya

small cliff
#

you rly want to finish before dancing

hollow spindle
sick goblet
#

oh wiat

#

nvm

hollow spindle
#

lol

sick goblet
hollow spindle
#

damn my 4p must b workin diffy

small cliff
#

this is why the mentioned symbols cast loss happened

sick goblet
#

ye man its like the leaked 10.0 version

small cliff
#

you delay symbols for your next dance

#

likely because you macro them together

sonic falcon
sick goblet
#

shadowstrike > backstab

hollow spindle
#

you dont view dance as a dmg amp but instead as access to shadowstrike

small cliff
#

shadow dances biggest gain is to allow you to use shadow strike

sick goblet
#

ur trading away shadowstrikes by using more evis in dance

#

its bad

small cliff
#

the concept is basically to maximize the potential shadow strike casts

#

if you start your dance with a finisher you already lose out because you only have 8 gcds

sonic falcon
#

ah shit that makes a lot of sense

#

and yes i have them macro'd together but that is not a problem

#

i could just repress the macro and symbols would be up

small cliff
#

finish-strike-strike-finish-strike-strike-finish-strike

  • 5 strike casts

strike-strike-finish-strike-strike-finish-strike-strike

  • 6 strike casts
sonic falcon
#

that was probably a mistake

sick goblet
#

well you shouldnt macro them together

hollow spindle
#

im also pretty sure u sat on shadowblades for a while, with stilletto staccatto blades comes up around 1:10 to 1:30 but this is almost 2min

sick goblet
#

and first sigil is not a good sub trinket

sonic falcon
#

i know it is not the best, but xymox refuses to cooperate

hollow spindle
#

ur gear is also just pretty bad in general

sick goblet
#

well a 272 phial would be better

#

which is something you can farm

sonic falcon
#

this doesnt drop either

#

whats bad about my gear?

hollow spindle
#

well ur 270

sick goblet
#

stats

#

ilvl

#

trinkets

sonic falcon
#

273 now

sick goblet
#

weapons

small cliff
#

just to showcase the symbols cast again

#

the red line shows when you could use symbols

#

so you basically did sit on it for 10 seconds

sonic falcon
#

hm maybe i didnt have a dance?

small cliff
#

symbools is a short cooldown

#

if you did not

#

you also made a mistake

#

the baseline of subtlety rogue is to always have 1 dance for symbols

hollow spindle
#

u also ignore pv and use echoing reprimand during dance here

sonic falcon
#

this goes with what i said earlier, in my mind to max the dmg in a sd i thought evis was the way

small cliff
#

using spare charges outside of this alignment is dynamic

#

in fact kyrian has such a high cdr that you can more or less fire and forget

#

ofc you will still consider your cp value and pv stacks

#

but if you are close to symbols of death

#

you would still hold onto using dance if it would mean that you couldn't align it

sonic falcon
#

yeah that's the 101 i guess

#

so to get it right, in sd my priority is to use as many ss as possible to proc sb

small cliff
#

for dance, i did not see it happen to much

#

but you rly want to stay on the target

#

you lost a global during it here

hollow spindle
#

you lose a lot in this symbols as well

sonic falcon
#

that missed global has to be when i went to soak

#

true half of it seems to be wasted out of a dance

hollow spindle
#

u can stay on boss when u are soaking

small cliff
#

^

hollow spindle
#

have to like hump the boss and at the last tick u can step back

#

the last tick knocks u the most

sonic falcon
#

yeah a bit extreme on my side, just want to do the mechanics and not costing my raid time

small cliff
#

i think this point is clear, but just to emphasize it, this was also your next symbols cast and the delay you had

sonic falcon
#

i think i see the problem here tho

#

rupture and snd were falling off

#

i wanted to refresh before going into the dance

hollow spindle
#

but that is part of playing sub

#

to prepare that before symbols comes up

small cliff
#

and to showcase the symbols/dance practice above, you did this

hollow spindle
#

so u can maximize sod casts in a fight

sonic falcon
#

what if the rup and the snd are around 15secs

hollow spindle
#

well symbols is 10

#

so it'll roll through the entire thing

small cliff
#

basically if you waited for a few seconds you could just use symbols-dance

sonic falcon
#

okay question then, at what point do you refresh these things?

sick goblet
hollow spindle
#

outside of dance in pandemic

#

ideally

sonic falcon
#

let me see, i need a tough scenario

#

snd and rupture are less than 9 seconds

#

dance and symbols are lining up in less than 2 seconds

#

what do i do here?

small cliff
#

also a little detail that might be important if you want to do higher content

#

you can enchant your back with defensive stats

sick goblet
#

snd pandemic is 12s

sonic falcon
#

ah yes i have done that fuu, thanks

sick goblet
#

so that scenario shouldnt exist

hollow spindle
#

if ur in that scenario it means you should have refreshed earlier

sonic falcon
#

so below 12 seconds i can refresh the snd?

hollow spindle
sonic falcon
#

vanish huh

#

i use it on prepull for the free snd

hollow spindle
#

yes but it comes up at 2min

sonic falcon
#

other than that i dont see its usefulness you know?

#

a gap closer

#

some energy

hollow spindle
#

it lets you cast shadowstrike

sonic falcon
#

and applying f ind weakness

hollow spindle
#

ur definitely undervaluing shadowstrike

sonic falcon
#

yeah last time i played sub was in s1

#

at that point it was clear, just cast as many ss as possible

#

i guess same goes now

#

i will go over this chat once again, pls fuu dont close it xd

hollow spindle
#

they archive if no1 types after a cpl days but im pretty sure u can always go back to it

sick goblet
#

the reason why you want to maximize shadowstrikes in dance isnt cus of the 2p proc

#

its because shadowstrike is much stronger than backstab

#

which is what ur trading it for

#

the 2p adds to that

#

but the core sub gameplay is to always maximize strikes

sonic falcon
#

yeah i had it all wrong in my head

#

i was thinking that during dance you need to max dps which means empowered evis was the way

#

used to consider dances with only 2 evis as wasted

#

will work on that

#

@sick goblet mind if you elaborate why you said my stats are bad?

#

i am using gear compare for every single piece i get

#

in that aspect i think my char is optimized in the best possible way

#

am not saying this is the ideal gear but i dont think it should be considered that much of a hindrance

hollow spindle
#

u have a lot of mastery

sick goblet
#

I mean perhaps you simply dont have better items

#

but crit/mastery ring isnt the hottest

#

you have 2 mediocre trinkets

#

haste/vers cloak when its easy to get crit/vers

#

you play the tier gloves instead of legs

sonic falcon
#

i have a crit/vers ring aswell but gear compare shows it as a downgrade :S

sick goblet
#

no sylvanas dagger

sonic falcon
#

sylvie's dagger aint happening my friend, i cant find people raiding that shit anymore 😦

sick goblet
#

nah i'm just saying, if you're gonna compare yourself to the r1 logs then you better have better gear cus its a huge part of dps

sonic falcon
#

maybe s4

sonic falcon
#

i will actually go do some gear compare again

sick goblet
#

also there are weekly heroic sylvanas runs

#

don't use gear compare

sonic falcon
#

what should i use?

sick goblet
#

top gear is better

sonic falcon
#

and i also shouldnt use stat weights

#

correct?

hollow spindle
#

u can also upgrade all ur m+ pieces a lot

#

valor is uncapped now as well

sick goblet
#

stat weights shift a lot, no point following

#

top gear will give you the most accurate best loadout

sonic falcon
#

yeah i am just taking it slow with the valor farm, i dont want to get burnt out and ruin the game for the next 3 months at least

sick goblet
#

!sylvanas

#

there's a sylvanas weekly discord

#

that organizes sylv hc runs
