yea but it wore off before he symbols danced
Oof.
Tbf blades is a shit CD
Compared to any other big CD in the game
But yea that’s still weird af
60% damp zzzz
It’s not shit but it doesn’t scale with mastery
Except for the generation eventually fueling evis.
It is probably the weakest big CD in the game
Don't think Rat can win this
If not then it’s incredibly close
That was wild
miracle they made it that close honestly

if you triple garrote in opener with shroud, you overcap on cp anyways
true, triple garrote is not easy in some cases
i normally try my best to do double
especially if we somehow able to sap one, then it's just double garrote
Question:
If you manage to sap a healer behind, do you stay with him for three saps period then cast blind then immediately go for kill or you sap and leave
so basically you let your team doing 1dps+1healer vs 2dps for roughly 20 secs first
but you have a good 8 seconds window to do 3 on 2 and almost able to force a trinket and also keep yourself not trained
depends on positioning of where you sap the healer but most of the time you should sap and then go straight for the kill target to pressure the healer to trink than you can win off of a blind
i did that in most of cases
but i found sitting with healer (if further back with other guys) seems to always bring better results
it's also a way to avoid being trained, they will throw some CDs back there doing the 2s
How difficult is DK in pvp compared to rogue? Im feeling rogue is a too skilled for me (im bad)
if you believe your other dps and healer would be okayy on their own then, that is perfect camp the shit out of the healer lol
Most DK player consider PvP not complicated... Not sure if it's real
I think if you are not trained then it's always not hard
Well most 2s with healer won't end in 20 seconds isn't it...?
I feel mentally if you sit a healer for 3 saps + 1 blind, they are in panic, of course it depends on skill & exp
yeah and if they press their buttons
but if youre having success on doing what youre doing, then youre doing it right thing
and with 20 seconds passed in game, you probably go back to the crowd with full kidney and open pressure
below a certain rating blind gets trinket no matter what
Hey guys, quick question, is there an optimal order in which I should buy conquest items? I have crafted boots and head and one conq. dagger. Should I buy second dagger before anything else?
regardless of danger level
it also avoid the blind issue in solo, someone hits blind target by mistake or aoe
get offhand last, get your ring main secondary stat ring and neck while upgrading the drakebreakers
ok thanks! 🙂
Go buy cheaper ones and pray for vault is a way
hold up i forgot we have catalyst up
but tbh, necklace is a debatable thing
I remember honor necklace has more mastery than conquer
i see bunch of players exchange that last
You should focus on big budget items like chest/legs etc next. Especially for crafting tier set
then I think you go for chest legs for thenset
Not saying it's right, but it's a thing multiple people do (i mean the pvp leaderboard)
do I catalyst legs? I thought you keep those in conquest
lol that is exactly our strategy in rmp 3s
With catalyst coming out i think it's better you get the tier set pieces first
becauss they have vers anyway
you're right neck isn't very big, i just got it cuz didn't want to spend gold on sockets twice
i go hard on healer, my fire mage goes hard on the dps, hopefully force them to panic trinket things
lol me too, i did that 2nd week, i feel hard spending that much gold on gems haha (duplicate on two necklaces? no way)
also i think neck has good stat/conq ratio as far as agility goes
ye neck has a lot of agility
(neck and rings do not have primary stat)

yeah
and do we catalyst legs or keep conq?
trophy off hand is great
i am trying to re-enchant so i will get off hand weapon this week or next week
i did the 729 or some primary stat enchant on weapon back then
now i will redo the 9xx one
not gonna do it on drake dagger
I play assa at the moment
Catalyst them
for Sin -> make sure you main hand weapon, tier set, then doesn't really matter
Get trophy of strife dagger for offhand specifically
trophy dagger locks in for months
so we catalyst, chest, legs, hands and helm or?
Everything except helm
k thanks a ton!
Use crafted helm
yeah I'm gonna save my charges until I have four anyway ^^
Ye if you get one in vault you can use it for a while
Why
so i exchagned this week and didn't even use it
because you may buy a component and exchange for tier then you get it shown in vault next weeks
it's purely economic reasons
Was that a 4pt evis for 100k???
nah that was 7cp
but anyway i think it's better to save, exchange for 2, then save then exchange for last 2
and finger crossed it's not bugged
shoxy playing shadowstep cdr vs melee cleave on small map...
has to be an oversight right
Flag kidney ss evis ss sec ss cs evis?
flag kidney evis, ss, tech,ss,cs,evis
you missed the dance there
Oh right.
kidney + dance -> 2 + 4 cp for evis
Flag kidney evis ss sec ss cs evis
You have a good chance of it. Two seconds of auto attacks.
Surprised that Shoxy didnt take AP there
so our takeaway from AWC is AP in melee blend, old way + internal bleed otherwise?
does it matter the sequence of casting shadow blade/dance/symbol for 6% stacks
No
K
I can't reach that high ST dmg as Dayv
but i miss the manual activate trinket as well
could be one reason
i don't have the rl tech to show those
I hit c on my keyboard.
ya thats base stats
oh that's raw stat?
thats also taken last week so no 4pc
ok
I was asking tarny lol
oh lol
Yes. That’s before the open 10 seconds after gates open
sorry i thought it's some great addon to show live stat
but i am pretty sure my mastery is nowhere close to 73.7%
It is live. But it’s also raw because there’s no procs up.
the downside of that opener is that it takes me 3 globals before the kidney... that gives them time to cc me
i usually trinket yolo there
I have the solution for you
i needed to build snd + 7 cp before kidney
what bout stormbolt
Ranged
That’s magic
yeah but i normally don't do scope at normal go, even at primary ones i hesitate to throw all CDs
those range or magic disarm just make normal go as no go
Your first go should always be big.
as a sub rogue you have to play offensive
if you wait around youll die slowly for sure
True
trinket offensively for go's
esp if you have cds popped like combust or blades/blind etc
Even more so now that we want to use as much as we can before vanish.
you still take the vanish cd talent right?
i want to
but the solo matches ive been in yesterday all ended 1 min in
before my 2nd cds come back up
so i had to swap back to no-cdr
healer mmr fucked and was getting 2100 ppl and theyre letting everybody die in the opener
cdr is good if matches can last at least 90 secs
@fierce laurel just logged on, i logged off last time at world quest place far away, can't really check my mastery now in a PvP condition (i still need to finish the quest next time i really log on)
is yours close to 70% mastery?
have you been able to work with a decent Sub build? Ik Sin is OP af but like... fuck i missp laying sub
i play sub differently than most people, you can probably go to murlok.io and see the popular talents there
i just hate being a 3 target dot dummy, its annoying
I feel people's HP grew more than 10k this week
I started to see bunch of 400k mages
makes me feel i am super under geared or sth
after investing so much time in pvp i ended liking it to such an extent that pve content now feels like a scripted kindergarden story time (even in highs keys)

did i just pvp pill myself
"bleed is breaking sheep" - ziqo
I did PvE back then before i dropped WoW, and I did both as you
this time i came back with only PvP
Even back then I feel small reason I did PvE is for PvP as well
Main hand dagger was also from PvE
i feel u
pve groups and guilds are so... elitist and they take it so damn serious
WLK is hard, 25HICC Lich King is really challenging
trials... parses...

I didn't get the dagger on time
Eventually i got it but it was too late i think
But 25HICC trinket was still a must have
With solo queue, PvP becomes so time flexible as well
it's also a major adv
icc, ulduar, toc and firelands felt rewarding because the items were impactful
what talents are these?
Yeah and you didn't have to use the triknet set
nowadays items are just random name
main stat
secondary stat
1/12 upgrade
yep
and to make things worse items are so abundant and expendable that you're probably better off having a stat stick and change it off every season
thunderfury, shadowmourne, valanyr, tiriosh all items that felt cool to have

i was able to collect all 3 orange weapons at TBC
I came back this time and found we couldnt equip range weapon anymore
bow what
doesn't even pop up achievement
is ss mmr like really wacky or am i just getting worse
both
I can feel you
Those days are there
Maybe just wait for a different time of day to play
Sometimes if I get in something like melee lobby 4 times in a row, I start to question myself as well
i hate melee lobbies. Seriously dont understand how you possibly win against War /DK when my evasion is a 2 min CD
gotta trust in your healer 
it's more like your team has to be in sync with you
or if we put out a 2 mins fight end to end continuously, rogue loses for certain
how do i deal with wasting blind on prevoker
Check his buff before throwing?
it's kinda big warning at standard gladiator
voker 30 seconds cc immune is indeed annoying
Reason why im raiding in classic
Its been hype being able to master loot valanyr shards to someone
So, I know it's kinda troll, but it seems like unbreakable stride and troll racial stack. Had a warrior hamstring me and it only lasted 6 seconds.
use bigdebuffs
I guess you just do this - 🤷🏼♂️ .
But I saw lots of evokers doesn’t use that buff. So I assume it’s a talent and not all of them have it?
hmm well maybe this is common knoweledge but if you spam sap it runs through the 3 immunities they have haha
4th actually saps and you can open like normal
Omg I just saw 3 stacks on them and never actually tried doing that!
Good to know that, thank you!
make sure u sap from behind
whys that?
so they dont aoe u out
most of them will notice their buff being sapped out and cast the root thing
hmm i thought lots of voker don't use that before we open
well down in the depths of 1.2 they start w it
then you can even wait for 30 seconds
just have your teammates ride around pillar for 30 seconds
alot of em will try to enter combat before casting it
so they dont get sapped
well maybe not alot. but some do
yeah i see both
Then I just use my 3 subterfuge globals to strip it off
Or wait for a shaman or priest to purge it which rarely happens
and sometimes we do cast the immune and be engaged right away, voker has quite large aoe range
i only get to play ss so cooridinating waiting out a prevoker buff is a no go
if your teammate knows to wait for sap, anyway they stay behind
Just try to sap it off or use subterfuge cheap shots
if they don't anyway, just go PvE
there are significant amount of players in not high CR range probably don't even know sap is not sheep, can only be used out of combat
they called you to sap and then they run to their face
thats alot of energy, but interesting
do u get cp?
not really a thing to not be able to sap off the charges...
Does Garrot silence consume the the stack?
or does silence even applied to voker when they still have stack
no
honestly. Cant stand him. OP is only okay when hes allowed to abuse it
Ill gladly accept the sin nerf if they just buff sub
wow zero warrior
please for hte love of god let me play sub
please don't nerf my spec i am very bad and i cant even break 1.2
outlaw = discount sub with pew pew
thanks
I think sub is in a decent spot esp with mage buffs
outlaw is closer to an overpowered warrior with cc
when tuned right
LMAO
THAT IS THE BEST TWEET
HAHAHA
Whatever you are smoking i want some
teach me to sub dad
feel under geared as fuck
Ive only played my Arms so far
Just "decent" doesnt cut it when you can just be sin and have 17 times easier time to succeed
who knocked out liquid?
insert rogue team here


I am noob, don't bully me
and an under geared noob without 4p
ok, you are worse than me
I mean i have a heroic piece but i rather not sac my stats
i dont think sub 4p is worth sacrificing stats
sin can get away with it
I have been daydreaming to have my 3rd tier from vault this week and finish 4 pc with mission
sub 4pc is not. i feel like sin 4pc is worth the sac
because i have been getting 1 pc every 2 weeks for both characters
so this week supposed to be the week!
but it didn't happen 
Any lobby with arms is like 2-4 this week so i shouldnt queue until they get tuned out hopefully
with how AWC goes, it seems we will be tuned out same time
cant win if they are on enemy team and they have shit synergy with me
Sin most likely yeh
inb4 they nerf arcane instead of sin
tbh i feel AWC games aren't exactly the same as meta
wow pikas team knocked out cdews team
the fact that either of them could be knocked out top8 is crazy
Pika ❤️
agreed, arms fucks us so hard
war banner, intervene, disarm, bladestorm
they will say, see, awc has no arm
all fuck our cc's
literally zero
is tehre ANYTHING we can do if we get spear + bladestormed?
Just... bend over and hope the healer can save me?
yeah use trinket and one cd
or pray your healer predict it and react already
bless the priest that tried to leap of faith me out
in theory pally can resolve it really easily
but if you wait for 2gcd for healer to react, it may already be too late
it's very hard
it's like a gamble
do you blind trust your healer
wtb counter play
I swear it feels more and more like i should just be a stun monkey with sub and let my dps do dmg
and worst part is in solo, if you just die like that first round, they go at you each round
everyone is DiD, or plays DK /War
is it still possible to farm legend wins in ss on another spec ?
is this a grief or it could work ?
where shrouded 😭
why shrouded when i go the other side ?
but master assassin has any higher value?
it applies for roughly 6 seconds in 3 mins as well
both leads to iron
i mean both lead to iron true, i kinda didnt pay attention to that. i guess exsang > ma
most of the opener is setup anyways so i guess tech exsang WOULD be better
3 seconds of 30% crit hit when you are basically just starting dots..?
it's like applied to 1 or 2 tikt
50k dps opener w/ exsang
ps: idk if it is right or wrong , i just run this for now cuz i see ppl running the sbs one but idk
Love sbs
and idk if it is better or not , i can apply more dmg around with this build tho
+kind of an "execute" window with zoldyck
but idk about sbs tho like , why would it work better over AP side
i guess more garrote nodes
bud
but*
hmm depends if you are always close by
wait am i high whats sbs
serrated bone spike
i see a couple of video clips people like pickaboo hiding behind pillars throwing this
in defend seconds
and it in general has extremely low energy comsumptiion, does more dmg than
also idk what to chose between cut to the chase or venom rush
neither. doomblade kek
i mean u can just sbs , throw them and forget about it cuz u apply it to everyone at the start but
it's not just a dot
idk , i feel like it is too much work for not so much value from it
it's extremely low energy skill, solid dmg, and it's range
and u think it is worth more than the 20% bleed bonus ?
depends, in melee blend, probably not
what %20 bleed bonus
I think he is referring to AP
if you're playing AP you're not playing Shrouded
156k ST kekw
so it actually is less damage on your garrote overall
but it is more on other bleeds
Losing Shrouded and SBS is a big pain
the only thing AP is doing for you is juicing up your rupture and internal bleeding for %32 of the time
but it can be situationally better
Might wanna run a sim
aoe 85% snare is strong to help your caster
just figure out what has more pve output
pvp is feelcraft only :))))
U can play ap and sbs
and you can team up with warrior, so you constantly get under 35% HP bonus
dropping dtb is not an option
hmmmmmm droppin dtb?
You spend all your points in the final 3rd to get both DTB and AP
It's not possible
yeah
i think we are all missing the true op build. Dancin w/ blindside
iron wire is bis for killing healers
but to be fair you have one chance in whole game, value isn't high in melee blend
cdew bitching about rogue while his team isn't playing it, what's new
nah , nvm , stupid cuz u waste shiv like that
jesus
mvqdh
w8 , xar is on rogue ?
isnn't him the no.1 dh
no , nvm
not wrong, it's droppable
pvp or dummy
dummy 😦
rip jesus
it gives you a lot of control on your vanish and meld though. you can dome a healer easily by kidney into vanish cheap shot into garrote
rmp baby
I think I might level my disc actually
shadow?
Disc
why not shadow tho
Because it's not disc
why not holy?
why not resto?
why resto when u can cat xD
cat dream is kinda dead now
Feral is still solid imo, just more bite oriented
better then , why cat when u can bear 
They still fuck people up
cdew twitter thread is gold
jj jj , pls don;t kill me
Most of the heavy cleave builds got slapped
Oh true ty
dude is such a piss poor sore loser its amazing
kidney is kind of nuts tho, 20s cd 6s stun is so strong
not dispellable like HoJ
The complatins are credible though
Nothing makes me more miserable than facing assarmx, abomination of a class, i cant ever control my character because of kidney into disarm, NERF IT FINALLY
love to see it
sin is kinda out there atm
hahahahah
Lol
lol
lol
btw guys , how do u track ur combo points ?
my eyes usually
isnt in any UI
I mean 15% cc nerf and no more 6 cp kidney was the nerf
i also hve a game->speech translater that screams, "YOU HAVE 4 COMBO POITNS"
hot take but he's right. kidney is a relic that could have its CD doubled and still be S tier
i think CP is at center of your screen in any UI, even the standard...
@waxen meteor i meant i use NCB cuz i h8 the default one cuz i put em in the middle of my screen
nah fam , it be under char hp or shit and it be ugly
im blind, play on brail screen 😦
Give me 1 min evasion then. My defensives are ass
How much haste is the minimum?
this is how i got mine cuz i did not find any better way
Like honestly, imo if ur gonna nerf Kidney, then give me better defensive options
so because sin is op for its pve dmg, kidney should be nerfed and the other 2 specs need to suffer?
I dont see him crying about trilldh getting 2 stuns into fear on DF
but i am surprised there's no warrior
0
probably because everyone prepared the AWC without update this week
idk man just asking , aint a wow vet here 😦
there was only 2-3 days of 10.05 for warrior practice before awc
prob not enough time to meta swap
Im js as a control option, 20s kidney for 6s, regardless of damage is actually a crazy option for all 3 rogue specs and has no dispel it's just kind of nutty because combo points come so easily now
this dude be maldin
It has nothing to do with cp
It had nothing to do with cp ever since the change to make cheap and kidney share DR
Like cdew clinging to the notion that its "op cuz cp so ez now" is like so outdated cuz nobody cares about resource bars anymore
Spriest never ooms for casting vtouch
it's like complaining hunters no longer have a deadzone or how warriors don't need to stance dance anymore
everyone got qol changes
To think kidney would still be S tier at 40 sec cd is actually insane to me
It wouldn’t so..
about to try a modified build on my outlaw pvp spec and pickup ER to go with my HO build and see how this plays out lol
what other stun in the game would outclass it for duration at a 40s CD do you think?
Only stun out of stealth and people want a 40 sec CD when matches last 60s total?
Idk why ur trying to draw a blanket parallel between rogue stun and other dps stuns when literally the dmg output is leagues apart
I dont WANT 40s CD, i'm just talking
Can a sub rogue dps like a dh can while waiting for 40 sec ks to come bacm up?
Hammer off justice is exactly that…
Ret, arms, ele, all put out 200k in a 3 second burst window while we have to kill people over the course of like 30 seconds
dispellable
And you want a 40 second stun
No I don't, I'm asking a question
Just because something is dispellable doesn't mean it gets dispelled constantly
The idea is that rogue stun should be better than other class stuns
kidney should be left alone and let the elite pvper keep complaining
if you think thats class favoritism idk what to say other than that I do 17 dps outside stun windows while i get speared into bladestorm into 120k mortal strikes
If we balance PVP around AWC everything goes to shit anyway
Warriors get to spam 100k mortal strikes and people are mad we get a stun
TBF Rogue is still trading damage resources for that 6 sec stun. HoJ is just a click.
give me warrior sustained zug dmg and ill take a 2 second kidney every 40 seconds 😄
Absolutely this
It’s also not a 6 second stun considering everyone has 15%reduced cc and 20% on orca
Or s1 shadowlands
Kind of off topic but it makes me cringe whenever sin is op and people bitch about ROGUE
like, specify the fking spec
Assa does warrior sustain though
sin is def overtuned with 4p
its just skill level of players playing sin >>> some others. me for one i cant play sin lol
Sin is a little nuts rn.
I think the set bonus could use tuning
4pc Sin is pretty strong tbh, isn't it? Like borderline OP.
It's literally just the set bonus
It’s going to come down next tuning pass for sure
4pc sin for me is significant better than sub
but warrior's are beefy bois
but it's not that better than Warrior etc.
isnt the whole point of tier to have an OP set bonus
let's be fair, tier set for sin has very good up time
Even if they nerf it by 50% though, it’s still going to be very good
All they need to do is nerf the uptime
So what happened in Awc today I missed everything. Who won
don't worry in a couple of days, people complain for warrior more than us
Not THIS good
Why are there so many kidney shot memes
bliz just needs to remove tier sets and tune every class accordingly. The tier sets are only passives anyway, they don't really make you do anything different to your playstyle/rotations
I mean that’s the issue with assa tier hahaha
You do the same shit, but now your damage is borderline unhealable and you don’t do anything special
mathmatically speaking warrior is basically same tier set as sin
we have let's say 100% up time for 20% bonus on 40% of dmg
which is 8%
warrior the same
And yet there’s barely any wars
homie what game have you been playing
because they got patched only 2 days ago
imo, i think tiersets should just open up new playstyles (hopefully balanced as horizontal progression lol) instead of just being a passive dmg boost
Tuning passes dont rely on awc participation btw. Look at ret
it's all arms warriors on 2s ladder
everywhere
Ofc since smexxin is the pvp dev theres room for warr favoritism
we will wait and see
they usually are
you prepare a champ game based on what was available.
warrior got buffed significantly this tuesday, i don't think they want to swap and re-prepare from scratch
they went easy on this tier because of all the other changes
Wait what? Smexxin works for Blizzard now?
Yes
that's good
more than double wars than rogues 😮
I'm glad there's an experienced pvper on the team
I dont think exp is really relevant because I think holinka did a fine job
in recent years
But yeah
the tunings so far have been good
All these teams are practicing with rogues though haha
That's cool
but idk if the same will apply to wqrriors
If war was as good as rogue, why wouldn’t liquid be practicing with war?
Did you even read?
because warrior indeed sucked before this patch
because they were arrogant/lazy
They dont have a warrior player
Mes has literally played war at tournaments
They said they are practicing rogue NEXT week
because they're not playing this week kekw
Also disc is kinda nuts so that favors rmp even more
Surely they’d be practicing war next week if it was as good as assa
Yeah I mean I definitely sympathize with having zero time to practice after a new patch
its just not as good as assa
warriors issue isnt damage, its survival
I n kw lol
Everyone else in here doesn’t seem to agree
make them see reason then
Warrior survival this week?
Yes

warriors do in fact just die
In this meta being able to escape is more valuable than tanking damage
Several AWC teams have the capability to play wars and are instead either practicing rogue or already running one
sure
assa is literally the best melee atm
In a competitive setting yeah
in any setting
I think ppl should realize that tuning isnt dictated by what gets played in awc
If you get 4pc assa is better on ladder too
Ret got shit on and it wasnt in awc
ppl gotta stop coping and just realize they can get better
AWC is very specific
I dont think anyone is saying that sin should dodge a nerf
I think all stats shown for this week is fake
People are dumb, truth is held under few elite
Also saying sin needs a nerf has nothing to do with whether arms also needs a nerf
People just go and play warrior becaus warrior is bad
Idk, I think rogue should be able to control and deal a lot of damage. That's the class fantasy for the rogue archetype is heavy critical backstab type gameplay. It SHOULD be absolutely terrifying if a rogue opens on you, but this really only worked before multi-dots and bleed heavy builds like in the past
The trade off was, you get control and high damage but your burst was relegated to a single target and swapping was hard for you because of CP being on individual targets. The game has evolved a lot so many specs can play different roles.
Yeah tbh I brought this up mainly because when someone is in front of you, you may escape 
Both arms warrior and sin rogues are for apes
No one took a bullet for ret last week
2 zug zug classes, when u have r1 sin rogues playing with r1 teamates they are broken
R1 is like 10 people tbh
every 2100+ warrrior is a nightmare to deal with
Tuning is for everyone
not every 2100+ sin rogue feels oppressive like arms warrior
Just nerf sin and arms and problem is solved
I really hate assa's current damage breakdown in PvP, bleeds do too much, which makes multi bleeding insane, and Mutilate and Envenom to an extent tickle
What spec do you play?
i play sub
i dont like to tunnel damage its not my style of play
and i like my active abilities to do damage, i hate damage over time specs
my other character is arms, and double caster absolutely nails arms to the ground and there's very little they can do to like... a lone frost mage
Yeah thats probably the biggest factor for lack of arms in awc
youll still lose to double caster
But like i said awc doesnt dictate balancing
War also melts if you disarm them before bladestorm, and monks can grapple arms if they use DBTS and it stops it immediately and then they just eat shit
Another reason the reaction is different is the parcipation rate with elite caster
Saying "well it loses to wizard cleave" doesnt really lead to "it doesnt deserve a nerf"
Warrior is probably significantly better in melee blend which is quite common in our games
But no in AWC at all
Whats DBTS stand for
Dy by the sword
o ye
Their only defensive is removed by grapple weapon. But not other disarms. Being able to step out of spear is big too.
Like they could do something like shield block reducing spell dmg at a flat rate for 6 sec etc
and nerf spear and ms
and 2nd bladestorm off avatar
Or make mass spell reflect a pvp talent so they can swap out banner or charge root for it
I would like 5-10% damage shaved off arms and bring back intercepting spell reflect. Give bloodrage to both arms and fury(root break)
Does disarm on dbts only remove their ability to parry or does it also remove their 30% dmg mitigation
I feel like that would feel fine
im assuming they still keep the mitigation part
u can disarm dbts?
yes
You can't parry without a weapon
No
i know that, im asking if they still keep the mitigation portion of dbts
u can ye
They lose parry
4pc monk that knows the grapple weapon thing will eat a warrior alive
ask me how I know 
I still just save disarm for warbreaker
since they still get 30% less dmf
dmg
no point to commit a dance
anyone know if acrobatic strikes apply to duel range?
Should
If you get hit with warbreaker, I'd wait for the stormbolt then trinket disarm so he can't bladestorm/avatar. Its typically Spear->gcd->breaker->gcd->storm bolt and then avatar+bladestorm is off GCD so if u can trinket bolt+disarm if it happens before warbreaker for some reason, then run to the edge of the spear and when it pulls you, step to a friend and you've fundamentally shredded arms damage for the next minutes until warbreaker
you can run edge of spear and step?
It is doable but i have not practiced doing it reliably
I normally ask for a grip and then step if im in comms
The idea is that while ur being pulled back, if you use another teleport the pull gets cancelled
The timing is surprisingly generous
Generous enough for it to be an option every time
But I don’t fully agree after you escape from spear you are away from warrior dmg for minutes…
Even if you abuse the bug 100% accurately with your super skill
And be fair, I think it’s a bug not a design
Depends on how youd define a bug on a technical level
I wouldnt say its a bug
More like a design oversight
It probably just goes around how spears circle you technically
By the time he's out of disarm, warbreaker has 2s left, he can still avatar when he gets back on you, but then you trade evasion for his bladestorm/avatar and he cant bolt thru eva because war typically blows it on burst target
I'm not saying it's perfect but there are methods
thank god you used evasion on avatar. Too bad he has it again in 1 min while ur only defensive is on CD
You can in fact stormbolt on evasion
i'm saying it's down in that scenario
Isn’t 1 major problem against warrior when both out of cds?
yes but you've made his damage more deal-withable for yourself and healer at least
In well organized 3s with casters behind probably less concerns for sure
For rthat go yes. in 45 seconds hes still going to Spear + BS /Avatar AGAIN and you have notihng except disarm for a few seconds.
My issue with Arms rn as a rogue is there is NOTHING i can do to survive a second go except run/hope my healer cna save my ass.
Or thats how it feels
wait til u find out the warrior is also a dwarf
And not certain if it works …
It does work
I literally did it in a random BG like hours ago
And you also save the step for ww 
It does not work lol. You had to have trinketed or gotten BoP'd. You cannot step the spear unless you manage to react to the animation
OR you never got hit with it in the first place
Its probably easier to understand if you see it than try to explain it in text
And it’s at least debatable if it’s a bug
I don’t really know if abusing a bug is a solution
If you are shadowstepping spear, you either A) Did not get tethered by it in the first place, B) trinket /bob or C) There's a bug where you can stand on the ABSOLUTE EDGE and step out
in which case, stating you can step out of spear is still false because it is a bug and not intended
The logic of spear is that it will pull in an escapee once per attempt
By that logic if they teleport again during the pull the logic is still obeyed but they escape
Hence it is not a bug
The spear tehters you for the duration and is supposed t pull you back regardless
Unintended game mechanic doesnt always mean a bug
saying i can walk out of spear, get pulled, and step MID PULL is a design flaw /bug and not working as intended. Therefor... not valid
No, it is not
Its just that spear pull "resets" after the pull is done
Slappy hands specifies ONE PULL per use
That’s just how it’s implemented
I side stepped a spear in a 1v1 while sprinting. Not sure if it’s normal
okay and? it still stands. IF you get death gripped, you are able to step it because you arent TETHERED
If a dk grip reset its cd after the grip was complete it would be identical to spear
No, it is not lol
That doesnt mean rogue cant step during grip animation
The DK grip pulls you to them, it does not attach you to the location
Spear TETHERS you to the location
How do you think a pulling tether is implemented other than a pull
DK grips, you step, he grips you a second time, you can still step OUT because it is not attaching you to the location
Because grip does not ATTACH YOU to the location mate
Watch what are you doing stepspear and millions of other World of Warcraft videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
And how would you implement attachment to a location other than have that location mimic a pull
lol
legend
All im saying is just because it is an oversight doesnt make it a bug
You bugged the spear.
It is not intended
and you had to use 2 steps of step for it
w.e I rather not repeat the same point over and over
Are you not understanding what a tether is?
why 2 steps?
That’s a technical question. It doesn’t even matter imo
Yes and technically unintended design doesnt mean bug lol
There is a difference between attaching you to a fixed location and KEEPING you there, and a pull to location
who cares
You can have the ‘pull’ condition recalculation set as everyone 0.0001 sec
It is
Im just bored at work
do whatever it takes to win
And get fixed 
Instructions unclear playing warrior
I fucked up the first one lmao
Imagine if they actually fix it without nerfing spear at all
The outrage would be insane
I still dont undetand what you actually did because of the way that angled. do you run out of spear and step MID pull back?
Imagine they made the same mistake on warrior as on ret two patch in a row
yes
wasnt a mistake
Tuning on pve without pvp modifications
as the spear pulls you in, RIGHT as it starts, you step and the spear breaks
100% not intended to work like that, but interesting; thank you for that
nothing in this game works as intended
On a side note, Id wager trying to actually implement an everlasting tether to an area on the ground would be a coding nightmare
consider it an "advanced technique"
How can we step spear when our eyes aren’t real?
real eyes realize real lies
Speaking like nzoth isnt dead
How can you be sure our eyes arent real if our ass has taste buds
I thought that was nuts
Yeah howl/HS will make the timing difficult
Disappointment is real
118? lite work
Look at the noncrit
my bad if its a dumb question, back to the game from a break
cap
Okay
Yeah arms damage swings so strangely
Yeah
Actual highest crit ive got was 143k
But as it is I dont think ive felt this same satisfaction dmg number wise since wrath
the dumbest thing I ever did was each unhinged crit some dude for 110k inside bladestorm
Just big juicy whackers
i fking hate arms
Can someone link me a solid sin build?
I loved it before IP now its just better

1 more m+ and i get my 418 infusion
im almost hitting keystone master just from grinding this shit
ah shit here we go again
Theres an addon that saves your macros and keybinds
Ya i'm redoing my keybinds entirely
I use it to unify all across my alts
defs toolbox, dtb for short
Also ever since the incident... it's been tough
What are the pieces that an assa rogue uses from tier set?
whatever you can get lmao
Aren't those the same
helm and glove
Any 4 pieces that you can get before they nerf it
U could get crafted pvp helm and do tier glove
or tier helm and verse mast glove
ideally.
get infurious helm and boots, build around that after your first vault assuming you havent had a vault yet
Someone here useing Uber Ui?
Im getting Lua error everytime i target an enemy in pvp
Uber UI/core/miscframes.lua:64: attempt to index field 'BottomBarFrameTexture' (a nil value)
Someone seen this before?
Bottom bar frame texture
Might get better resource at the addons webpage
That probably means it has poor support or no support at all and it is time for you to jump ship to a better maintained addon
am I losing my mind, does disc not have shadow word:pain
replaced by purge the wicked
thanks babe
i dont know anything other than stupid rogue tricks
MfD > Kidney > Garrote
If you're playing ER, you can do ER into 7cp Rupture
At some point you gotta use SnD and keep it up with envenom spam
Echoing?
ER makes it so any finisher on that CP is spent as a 7cp finisher
mfd --> kidney --> garrote --> er --> Rup --> deathmark id assume and then shiv?
I blame tier culture for this failure
If you're playing 4set, then it might be good to apply dots on another target
shiv before dm
I mean, deathmark is supposed to be on goes
You only use that on burst
i mean i guess for burst rotation? we pre-apply ruip and garrote then deathmark since it replicates?
the wording confuses the fuck out of me
Yee you pre apply
Ok if we get nerfed then warlocks and shamans get nerfed with us .
🤨
Awc has way too many assa rogues .
Hard to keep us on the down low
shouldnt be an issue
ask anyone in here and theyll say rogue sucks
even tho both assa and sub are the best specs in the game

meta w/ zug zug 1 min dps cooldowns, and our only defensive to counter it is a disarm, and a 2 min evasion
vanish is nice
nah idk man anyone who says rogue is bad atm is on some of the hardest copium known to man kind
im sorry
but rogue is the best melee atm
again, nobody says rogue is bad lol
anything else is wrong
SUB is bad
lol yes, it is. Outside of ST it has zero damage at all
my SS shouldnt hit harder than an evisc
Need outlaw buffs plzzzz
white knighting it and saying that sub "isnt bad" is copium
in fact, MOST people agree that sublaw is better sub than sub is
what content is sub bad in
this is the pvp channel is it not?
it is
then there's your answer. Outlaw and Sin both far outperform Sub in everyway EXCEPT maybe control
and that comes at the expense of ALL your damage
sub is crazy in solo shuffle at least
good in 2s
good in 3s
good in rbg
idk where its bad
idk what you are smoking but it is NOT crazy in solo, 2s or 3s. The control is sub-optimal, and its damage outside of dance is literally slapping somebody with a feather
Sub is good
And in solo its very annoying to deal with and wins very easily
Actually tanky too
ye 2 vanishes is nice
Sub is good but it’s not crazy
