Standard "Help my Subtlety DPS" thread

[TooMuchStarbucks 0]

I hate having to ask what a lot of people are asking on here but, I'd really like tsome overall tips and critique on my performance. Here's a log from a rather messy Heroic Archimonde kill.

Also, Icy Veins lists Mastery as above Crit, while this rather recent thread shows SimulationCraft results weighing crit as quite a long ways higher than mastery. What do you guys think? I did try going on Shadowcraft but for whatever reason it wasn't working on my end, saying the Backend had failed to load or something.

Thanks guys.

Your opener could use a lot of work. It should look like:

 

- 11s: Premeditation

- 1s: SnD + Prepot

- 0s: Vanish

- SR

- Rupture

- SD

- Ambush/Evis spam

- Preparation when you have 2.5s left in SD

- Ambush on the last second to extend FW as long as possible

 

Also, for every Vanish, only expect to get 2 Ambushes. One initially, then one at the last second of Subterfuge. Don't hold Vanish for any more than 6s for SD and 12s for SR

 

As for the stat priorities, that's in BiS gear. Stat priorities will always change as your gear does

The really "good" logs got 35+% on Spirit Eruption and 95% tunneling dmg on Archi. I wouldn't feel to bad for myslef if I where you. Also you're in the lower segment of the bracket if you're checking rankings. For stats I use Pawn and use Rylix values (Nihilums Rouge that made an xlnt sub guide on mmo-champ).

Thanks for the replies guys. This leaves me with only one question.

 

Caarn, when you say to use Preparation, do you mean to both prep and vanish, or just prep. If the latter is the case when do I use its' vanish?

Your first Vanish comes before the pull, and the second immediately after Dance is over and FW is falling off
