night elf racial synergy with sub

[acidoxyde 0]

Hey there guys I got a question that most will find stupid but its something that has been bagging me for a while now. Couldn't find anything that's clear enough in google either. So shadowmeld is supposedly the best racial for sub(according to noxe and several others) but i don't understand what I can use it for other than get 1 extra premeditation in my rotation. Help please cause i think im doing this wrong. Is there a macro im suppose to use along with shadowmeld?

Note that you will not benefit from shadow focus while in shadowmeld so you must make sure you have at least 60 energy before using the macro. This is obviously irrelevant if you use the subterfuge+glyph of vanish bug.

Also need to make sure you aren't moving or need to move when casting Ambush this way

well that's not a problem carrn. I mean you need to pull energy otherwise you lose a few autos on the boss if u pop shadowmeld at 30energy instead of around 60

It's just something to be aware of. If the boss moves even a little bit while you use Shadowmeld, or if any kind of AoE damage comes out, you lose the Ambush

 

You should always try and play around 60-70 energy anyways, so it's easier to pool for Dances and Vanishes
