Even renown was borrowed power to an extent iirc

minor cape
#

did you guys have to choose a covenant

#

and you couldnt change it?

#

in shadowlands

potent pivot
#

Yeah but they made em base abilities so it’s a bit better for longevity

potent pivot
minor cape
#

thats bullshit

#

😵‍💫

potent pivot
#

You couldn’t freely change until the middle/end of the expansion

jolly sierra
#

the thing ppl complained the most in shadowlands is because ur preference was bullshit

#

and to be viable u had to join a good covenant

tight veldt
#

Nothing with damage associated to it can ever be preference. There will always be a mathmatical best.

#

and wows community will ALWAYS min-max it to find out what that is

minor cape
#

imagine having to do two weeks of quests to change build

potent pivot
#

It was like 1 or 2 quests

#

But they were time gated

jolly sierra
#

like the fkn tier

uneven grove
#

UH DK, arms, feral lobby for me

#
  • DC
jolly sierra
#

i hate time gating

jolly sierra
uneven grove
#

they need your next sub man

uneven grove
jolly sierra
#

OOF

#

damn that is huge

uneven grove
#

but ngl assa gameplay started to give me ptsd

#

it's so boring

jolly sierra
#

try making another race to make it funnier tho

#

also at least for me running a lot makes the gameplay more interesting

#

rather than scratching my balls by throwing some demons\

fierce laurel
#

So any gear ever.

jolly sierra
# fierce laurel So any gear ever.

well, if u wanna another explain for that is just

a temporary improvement from XP content which is not tied to your character, mostly in form of legendaries, gems or abilities

worthy crag
#

None of em seems game breakingly powerful

#

so far

jolly sierra
#

they revamped some class trees

fierce laurel
#

So our 5% boots and 1% crafted hat are borrowed power.

jolly sierra
#

technically yes

fierce laurel
#

Double tap was a talent but because it was taken away, it was borrowed power.

jolly sierra
#

no

fierce laurel
#

The term is just silly that’s all.

jolly sierra
#

it was baseline

#

from talent tree

#

since BFA

fierce laurel
#

Resonator last season were borrowed power.
Conduits borrowed power.
Gem sockets borrowed power.

#

Where’s the line?

#

Everything we have is temporary.

jolly sierra
#

temporary

worthy crag
#

people use the term all over the place but when its used in a negative connotation it generally has a wide consensus

jolly sierra
#

for example wake of ashes was borrowed power but was added to ret toolbox

#

permanently

worthy crag
#

Usually its something thats marketed as THE system of the expac

#

azerite armor, coves etc

fierce laurel
#

Nobody’s complaining about our 1% hat.
You guys don’t hate borrowed power, you hate the game changing.

#

But the game has to be different- or you’d all be playing vanilla.

worthy crag
#

Not quite

jolly sierra
#

nope

worthy crag
#

Ppl hated alot of borrowed power because of how dull and forgettable they were

jolly sierra
#

i hate things which i can't get used because will just stay for a moment

worthy crag
#

And grindy, and uninspired

jolly sierra
#

and will be irrelevant later

worthy crag
#

Like do you know anyone who played around those random soulbind talents that give you 3% mitigation for standing still etc

#

Its just a bs system you just click to get to next conduit

fierce laurel
#

One of you is saying you hate how irrelevant borrowed power is, and the other is saying how it’s too hard to learn.

worthy crag
#

Well are you looking for a textbook definition for a word thats used by millions of diff gamers lol

#

Im giving example of irrelevant borrowed power but there is plenty of overpowered ones too

#

Like vitality conduit

jolly sierra
#

or legendaries themselves

fierce laurel
#

I’m saying that it’s a silly word because it means 1000 different things to 1000 different people and saying it’s bad because it’s ‘borrowed power’ doesn’t provide any useful dialogue.
Say the gems are going to be hard to deal with or say they’re boring but don’t say ‘they’re borrowed power so I hate them’.

worthy crag
#

But there tends to be a general consensus on what borrowed power is

#

thats why ppl bashed on bfa and sl but seem to like df systems so far

fierce laurel
#

By any definition, the gear you get from the conquest vendor is borrowed power.

jolly sierra
#

this become more evident since legion

#

but ppl liked the xp

#

so can forgive that

worthy crag
#

Its either so irrelevant and forgettable that the engineer work put in to those systems is literally a waste of labor, or its so powerful that gameplay revolves around it, not the class you play

#

Like how hpal revolved around cdr corruption than actual expertise in the class

fierce laurel
#

The conduits were incredibly impactful and class specific- and also borrowed power so that already falls outside your definition.

worthy crag
#

It doesnt take an expert hpal to hoj 3 times in a row and cast 2 sec in a 30 second window

#

I mean if u just want to nitpick sure

#

they also required insane grind post max level to upgrade

fierce laurel
#

So your contention is the grinding. Say that.

jolly sierra
#

the chat is sounding like that RN

worthy crag
#

Really shouldnt be surprising that players wouldnt be a fan of their spec being reduced to revolving around their coves or conduits like udks

jolly sierra
#

🤓

worthy crag
#

Are you incapable of grasping the idea of a general consensus

fierce laurel
#

Really? I personally loved shadowlands sub.
Cloaked in shadows conduit and master assassin leggo was incredibly fun.

#

Both of those are gone.

potent pivot
# fierce laurel So any gear ever.

i think it's more along the lines of actual abilities, legendaries and "talent-esque" features that you know are only a feature of one expansion that you will just end up losing

#

it's not very fun to build up a power for 1+ year(s) just to lose it when going into a new expansion

fierce laurel
#

But that’s what gear is.

#

You lose all your gear every expansion

potent pivot
#

no it isn't

tight veldt
#

Legion --> Artifact Weapon
BFA --> Azerite Weapon/Neck
Shadowlands --> Covenants /Conduits

All Legendaries Legion Onwards

These are all borrowed powers

potent pivot
#

gear is not an ability

#

it just scales your power

wise breach
#

Tier sets are

potent pivot
#

tier sets are a borrowed power

#

yes

jolly sierra
#

dude u are hanging very hard to a concept

#

chill out xd

tight veldt
#

Gear is not borrowed power. Gear is consistently the same through every iteration (albeit SOME trinkets, and set pieces).

potent pivot
#

but you don't put a bunch of effort into leveling your tier set

#

you just obtain it and gg

#

people love tier sets

worthy crag
#

People are mostly okay with lvling up and then gearing and then being done

potent pivot
#

people dislike legendaries and getting a new ability for 1 expansion

worthy crag
#

But not with grinding further to up conduit ilvl

#

or run torghast 98 times

fierce laurel
#

The game you guys want seems very stale if you never get any new abilities talents or mechanics.

tight veldt
#

People dislike "grinding" for legendaries, and power systems that disappear.

Gear is always something to upgrade, borrowed power is not

worthy crag
#

or grind azerite dust to reroll random traits

jolly sierra
#

i rlly hated fkn anima being consumable just in a fkn altar

potent pivot
#

i think you're missing the point

jolly sierra
#

when in legion u instabreak it for AP

worthy crag
#

Do you see the difference between a new expac just giving you new talents or abilities that you obtain as you level

#

And a new ability that you get by being locked among 1 out of 4 cove choices

#

which you can swap once a week and requires 13 quests

fierce laurel
#

If we had 20 years of new stuff accumulating without anything taken away the game would be awful.

worthy crag
#

and run 4 torghast a week to maximize

potent pivot
#

look at shadowlands legendaries and ALSO imagine if we didn't keep covenant abilities with our new talents

wise breach
#

Didn't follow the whole conversation, but I don't feel like these new gems are a big deal, it's just slightly more interesting gear customization

tight veldt
#

Or having to grind a resource to upgrade your artiicat to choose talents, gated behind WEEKS of grinding.

potent pivot
#

if we just lost cov abilties it'd feel shitty

worthy crag
#

Thats exactly why bliz started the whole borrowed power trend in legion

#

They wanted to put in temporary systems that would fundamentally prevent ability bloat

potent pivot
#

i don't think you should sink a bunch of time and resources into something just for it to be completely useless once a new expansion releases

tight veldt
#

Dragonflight but no SBS, no Master Assassin, no Flag, etc. All that removed because it was a "last xpac thing"

Versus my kidney shot, shadow dance, shiv, evasion ive kept since the game released as a CORE CLASS icon.

worthy crag
#

legion was arguably successful at that but bfa and sl werent

fierce laurel
#

If expansions, or even tiers, didn’t reset and catch everyone up there would be nobody playing.

worthy crag
#

Yes but the issue was bfa and sl were resets to shittier systems

jolly sierra
#

legion was arguably successful cuz was brand new as a concept and people found that interesting for a xp

tight veldt
#

There's a difference between grinding for new gear for the next xpac, and me sinking 300 hrs into leveling my Artifact Weapon just to have to absorbed by a giant dildo in silithus.

potent pivot
#

i don't even know what to say

jolly sierra
#

BFA and SL doesn't cuz they recycled the AP system itself

#

and felt lazy

potent pivot
#

borrowed power is something the community at large dislikes

#

i think maybe you're misinterpreting what borrowed power is

worthy crag
#

They could have focused on class design but they decided to make general azerite traits that spawn 25 stat orbs around you that you can pick up

potent pivot
#

idk

worthy crag
#

fun gameplay

jolly sierra
#

legion brought a lot of new stuff for a XP

tight veldt
worthy crag
#

You mean, its not skill to hoj 3 times in a row with corruptions?

#

Outrageous

tight veldt
#

I quite enjoyed being oogabooga'd by tentacles from DHs

jolly sierra
#

like entire pvp talents reworking, artifact system and class revamp entirely

#

and those changes were huge af

potent pivot
#

like right now in DF we have practically no borrowed power

jolly sierra
#

was literal "do something new or we are dead"

potent pivot
#

and it's a great thing

#

these talent trees will just keep growing

#

while pruning the less impactful things

wise breach
#

Going to be honest, corruption gameplay was fun af in some cases, having insane haste

tight veldt
#

Legion did it just fine. But the grind started WAY too steep, and added another level of time gating to the game. Legendaries being random was awful.

If they wouldve just KEPT Artifact shit (which was similar to the CURRENT talent system) from Legion --> DF, i think it would have been fine

fierce laurel
#

So some of you don’t like the borrow part of borrowed power but that’s a necessary part of keeping the game fresh, and some of you don’t like what the power is and how to get it, but that’s a contention with what the power is, some have been successful and some not.

jolly sierra
#

i loved corruption system, but FOR ME

wise breach
#

The acqusition method was garbage

jolly sierra
#

with gushing wounds

#

KEK

worthy crag
#

Do YOU think azerite armor felt "fresh" after legion?

tight veldt
worthy crag
#

I sure as fuck didnt

fierce laurel
#

I loved cloaked in shadows and master assassin last season.

jolly sierra
#

still recall how i got a gushing wounds NM raid boots from AH

#

pre nerf

#

were fucking beautiful

tight veldt
#

any "system" outside of talents, and tier sets they introduced as a "fresh system" was atrocious and largely disliked by MAJORITY of the playerbase.

wise breach
#

Legion did it too well, and losing everything provided by the artifact weapons basically doomed BfA from the get go

potent pivot
#

it's about the fact that you would just lose it

#

it would become dead content, removed

tight veldt
fierce laurel
#

No.

fierce laurel
#

Both are gone

worthy crag
#

There was a lot of reason to predict that master assassin wasnt staying though lkl

#

lol

potent pivot
#

they were just made baseline

fierce laurel
#

Gone

jolly sierra
#

if u don't have any of them then u are playing outlaw i think

worthy crag
#

You gotta realize that a 100% crit item would be a balancing nightmare right

tight veldt
# potent pivot they were just made baseline

But that makes them not borrowed power anymore. They are baseline between this and last expansion. Borrowed Power is anything you LOST.

The legendaries as a concept are borrowed, a lot of it was kept baseline

spring bough
#

cant wait to hit duelist again this week then have a full 5/5 duelist pvp set GG

potent pivot
spring bough
#

time to become a pve champ

fierce laurel
#

If you never lost anything the game would be incredibly stale because there would be no place to add things.

#

Imagine if we still had BC meta gems.

potent pivot
#

it doesn't matter they were then syphoned to being base line, while also being changed

jolly sierra
#

tell that to LK classic servers

potent pivot
#

you don't use the conduit or legendary anymore

tight veldt
worthy crag
#

But theres a general consensus to what feels sucky to lose and what is forgettable

#

Like spriest losing shadow word death

#

vs losing fleshcraft

potent pivot
tight veldt
#

Sinilarly to SBS and Flag or Sepsis, we retained them across the expansion so not borrowed power. Conduits, yes were fully borrowed

jolly sierra
#

we got SBS just for feedback

tight veldt
#

i see Borrowed Power as any expansion specific SYSTEM that requires a time sink to increase my characters power that doesn't carry over to the next expansion

worthy crag
#

Like blizz could remove vanish and kidney shot tmr and some ppl would say it feels "fresh"

jolly sierra
#

we were about to get just sepsis, flag and ER at 1st place

fierce laurel
#

Nobody would say that

worthy crag
#

and most would think its a shitty change

tight veldt
#

Conduits, Artifact Power, Azerite Neck, Corruptions. All "Systems" that gave me power OUTSIDE my characters gear + talents

spring bough
#

i feel like fan the hammer is a buffed up concealed blunderbuss. couldnt imagine if we had that talent as the lego for season 4 that would have rocked

worthy crag
#

I mean by definition it is a fresh change

#

But ofc they wouldnt do that in light of their design philosophy and general feedback

#

But having lucky corruption procs that wins you the game was neither consistent with design philosophy nor community feedback

tight veldt
#

at the end of the day, this "Gem" ring that was leaked; we have no idea WHAT it is. Theres zero context. Its a ring with ZERO secondary/primary stats and only sockets.

Could be a dungeon/raid specific item similarly to N'zoth cloak. Or used for these primal invasions that we deal with

jolly sierra
#

sounds like domination shards

uneven grove
#

and that's all

jolly sierra
#

the only thing i think was borrowed power were the captain planet lego rings

#

for wod

uneven grove
#

yeah they kinda brought back wod pvp gearing in DF

#

but worse cus vault + pve set bonus is still in

fierce laurel
#

But getting two new abilities since wod would just be completely bloated and uninspired if for instance you trying to add one ability for dps warriors and one for prot or hopefully one that both could use.

jolly sierra
#

in wod we don't have any pve set for pvp tho

uneven grove
#

but tbf DF didn't even bring new spells and shit into the table, they just reused legion artifact powers, bfa azerite powers and SL covenants abilites

signal cargo
#

is it worth playing ass in 2s/3s without 4set

worthy crag
#

Just because you are trying to avoid ability bloat doesnt mean you add in azerite armor

jolly sierra
#

no bonus sets and the pvp ilvl was absurd high compared to pve

fierce laurel
#

Yeah, as of now drafonflight has almost nothing ‘new’ except different sets.

#

I imagine we’ll get flavoured pvp trinkets next patch like the chains or resonator.

uneven grove
#

idc anymore at this point tbh

#

game is a fiesta anyway

worthy crag
#

Given the reception so far people seem to favor "nothing new" over covenant renowns and torghast

#

🤷

jolly sierra
#

if u are ignoring stuff like dragonriding, profession and talent revamps + new pvp system sure there is nothing new

fierce laurel
#

Yeah. Without solo shuffle and a redone talent tree everyone would be bored as hell.

uneven grove
#

yeah without SS i would spam 2s whole day, would be so bad kek

#

rather i sit 20+ minutes queues to play max 2 matches a day

worthy crag
#

Think after 4 yrs thru bfa and sl ppl rather be bored than be pushed endlessly to go thru timegates to stay competitive

uneven grove
worthy crag
#

Like if i had a choice between running and jumping in circles in the capital city vs doing torghast Id choose the former all day

#

Or whatever that shit rep was called

#

venari w.e

#

"you mean you dont love entering a dark gloomy zone where you cant even mount up and random shit falls on you from the sky?"

jolly sierra
#

why tf they added flying in 9.2 and not to korthia, added in the same patch?

spring bough
#

switch to r3 frozen devotion for fun since the price has hella dropped after 6 rounds did 641k total right under main gauche's 667k

#

41k crit from frozen devo lol

spring bough
#

outlaw

potent pivot
#

ye

#

have seen more outlaw running it than assa/sub

spring bough
#

it kinda pumps not gonna lie lol

potent pivot
#

pretty sure it does more for outlaw than the other two

spring bough
#

maybe some flurry synergy? i always have flurry active. i said screw the extra 30 seconds on blind and went with the 2yrd melee for when flurry up and it has been working so well

#

feels like no one is ever out of range

potent pivot
#

it's not because of BF

#

the dmg from it already cleaves

worthy crag
#

Am i the only one whos determined to not q rss out of fear that the game will freeze lol

#

Like after this weeks reset

#

Reloading every game is so tiring

jolly sierra
#

are u in eu or US?

worthy crag
#

Ive had it happen already many times on hpal which idc much about fortunately

#

us

spring bough
#

i qued up yesterday no problems dont think any ques took longer than 5 min too but last week first game i joined insta DC lost 150 rating lol

jolly sierra
#

can se a regional problem tho, here in EU i have no issues

fierce laurel
#

The simulationcraft BIS sim has frozen Devo on both weapons

#

For outlaw

worthy crag
#

Like the screen will just freeze for 2-3 seconds

potent pivot
#

the thing is @spring bough. assa is always doing damage with dots/bursting with CDs so having a high main stat proc from sophic is higher value. sub does burst so it also aligns better with sophic/earthen. outlaw is just constant consistent widdling down the enemy, so stuff like frozen is decent

waxen meteor
fierce laurel
#

It’s mathematically better for 100% outlaw up time according to the sims.

#

Does outlaw have any damage amp auras?

waxen meteor
#

my first game yesterday queue was 9 mins

#

second one was 29 mins

potent pivot
spring bough
#

yeah i think ima keep rocking it

potent pivot
#

sims don't matter very much when it comes to pvp

waxen meteor
#

and while i was typing here to complain about the queue time, match poped up

#

so i didn't even send the msg lol

potent pivot
#

otherwise sub rogues would see the error in their ways

fierce laurel
jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

and outlaw does have some dmg auras but i don't think anyone is really playing Ghostly Strike atm?

#

oo nvm

#

less people are playing frozen than last week actually

#

everyone is running sophic on outlaw

spring bough
#

i guess next week i gotta decide. upgrade primal OH dagger to crimson dagger or axe. seen more using the two axes

potent pivot
#

or 1 sophic 1 frozen

potent pivot
spring bough
#

checks solo rounds for season 1564.... guess i have no life LOL

potent pivot
#

also the thing about sophic is you don't see it's proc damage on Details

jolly sierra
#

i wanted to pee sometimes and once even the queue dissapeared for me in last second after returning

potent pivot
#

but it makes your abilities do way more damage

fierce laurel
#

I would be tempted to swap for a few days if it wasn’t a billion gold

potent pivot
spring bough
#

ah dang dagger is used more. feel like i seen more w the OH axe on the pvpleaderboards site

potent pivot
#

these things change often

#

if someone notable tests something and says its better

#

or even if just a streamer says it FEELS better

#

everyone bandwagons

spring bough
#

everyone switches lol

potent pivot
#

that's the one thing i dislike about pvp

spring bough
#

only thing i didnt bandwagon was hook down to blinding powder. i went hit and run down to deft and picked up fleet so im hella fast lol

potent pivot
#

if more actually tested things and shared contextual evidence we would have a clear understand of what's best, much faster

#

but shrugFreg

spring bough
#

i wanna see people switch to deft maneuvers and validate my choice cause it feels nice being 10 yards off a warrior and not get hit

potent pivot
#

with all the speed enchants etc this season

spring bough
#

they DR speed now? lmao

potent pivot
#

everything DRs

spring bough
#

well gonna drop the one in the rogue tree then lol

potent pivot
#

tertiaries iirc DR at a much lower % than regular secondaries

#

if you have every speed enchant, even taking 1 speed talent puts you into the DR

#

but it doesn't make using at least 1 talent useless

#

you just gain a bit less than you'd think

#

i just wouldn't recommend taking 2 lol

spring bough
#

yeah im def switching my rogue tree speed cause i have all the speed enchants

tawny kestrel
#

outlaw is so fucking bad

#

dont recommend

potent pivot

dense thorn
#

Why they using rogue. Though cdew said it was CHEEESE

worthy crag

which is valid in all fairness

but he can be such a manchild sometimes

lyric onyx
#

He’s been getting so mad these past weeks

#

Their team doesn’t look like they’re having any fun

worthy crag
#

Wouldnt be surprised if hes way past having fun from the game and just doing it for his living now

#

thats the downside of being a fulltime game streamer

tawny kestrel
#

nah

#

if he didnt somewhat enjoy wow he wouldnt play awc

worthy crag
#

i used to be mad all the time playing sl

#

maybe df is doing that to him

dense thorn

He prob feels forced even if he hates it

lyric onyx
#

Liquid lost 0-3 they’re in lower bracket now

They should just stuck to their roots instead of tryna force rogue comp imo

These are the recommended stat priorities for each spec in PvP. Please keep in mind that having suboptimal stats on some pieces such as tier set pieces is not the end of the world.

anyone with high assa 3v3 experience know why pika never multi dots?

you'll also notice he sits on ER/Tea/Exsang for very long periods of time

he multi dots sometimes but it just isnt a massive priority since the energy regen isnt really needed either

graceful ravine

i understand not dotting the priest for gouges

but he doesnt dot the 2nd guy either whos next to him

potent pivot
rose wigeon
#

im aware of that

graceful ravine

it takes 1 second to tab target and garrote a guy idk

rose wigeon

but if he isnt doing it then it must not be worth it theoretically? Im not sure i still multi dot i think its useful

potent pivot

yeah i think everyone finds that weird Dayv

#

the way he plays assa is a little unorthodox compared to everyone else

while everyone in the awc are amazing players, it doesn't mean that you can single 1 out and say they're playing perfectly

#

it's definitely worth it in the majority of situations

#

the way he plays ER is also a little weird

#

almost as if he's trying to save it for kill windows or something

warm lance
#

To me it just shows and reinforces the fact nothing is set in stone in pvp

potent pivot
#

yeah it's very fluid right now

#

there's multiple ways to win a game

jolly sierra
#

pika always played in his way rog

warm lance
#

You can pile on a stupid high amount of pressure on one person as Sin like Pika or add some spread

#

Most of my matches recently ive kinda switched it on the fly, mostly just sending it on one guy

#

Randomly spreading it midway seems to make healers panic as 1 extra rots all of a sudden and the main target is still getting full kekd on

jolly sierra
#

i started to spread more the dmg between the 2 dps

warm lance
#

But idk I evidently suck accordibg to my rating so

jolly sierra
#

how much RN?

rose wigeon
#

how much DN

graceful ravine
#

did liquid qualify?

potent pivot
#

i don't think so

#

it's been a rough go for them this awc

graceful ravine
#

oof

#

looks like disperse bugged?

potent pivot
#

yeah idk

warm lance
potent pivot
#

i also heard pika complaining about Kidney Shot making him start auto attacking

#

like it didn't before or something

#

the game has almost been falling apart at the seams with ability/talent/macro bugs this season

jolly sierra
#

im still trying to retake my highest w rog

#

after getting 2 pvp tiers today i barely lose, just 1

#

so maybe is the call

graceful ravine
#

rogue mains is the reason for loss

sharp sierra
#

cdew crying cus of rogues again?

#

washed up

graceful ravine
#

as if trill isnt a godly rogue himself anyways lol

#

they ran double outlaw in shadowlands

warped anchor
#

Is it ever cdews fault?

#

Lol

sharp sierra
#

no

warped anchor
#

When I watch his stream he always blames his mates

graceful ravine
#

lmao pikas reaction top tier

dense thorn
sharp sierra
dense thorn
#

fucking lol'd

jolly sierra
#

what the fuck

graceful ravine
#

wonder if they lose sponsors over this

#

hate to be a backseat driver but in this moment trill had so many peels available

fading blade
#

nerf rogue mains?

graceful ravine
#

enemy kidney up in 1 second... has disarm gouge shadowmeld available for peels

#

he decides to poison knife-> bonespike instead

fading blade
#

cdew holding onto cds, trill forgetting bonespike and abilities

graceful ravine
#

teammate at 1%

#

cmonnn

fading blade
#

but nerf rogue mains kekw

graceful ravine
#

i guess he thought mes dispersed and should be fine

#

makes sense i suppose...

jolly sierra
#

guys question

#

do u have any WA or addon to make camera zoom out when u enter to an arena?

#

im very lazy to make it by myself when it just zoom in at the start

sharp sierra
#

Can anyone share sub talent setup? Not sure how to import

worthy crag
#

There's quite a bit of variation in sub builds atm

#

Do you know if you prefer dark brew or rotten?

#

Assuming sec tech + danse macab are given

dense thorn
dense thorn
#

compared to dark brew being more shit sin?

potent pivot
#

There’s also other variations if you look on murlok.io (also linked in the pins)

sharp sierra
#

0-6

#

i just cant win a round

#

everyone is dying in 20 seconds on my team

potent pivot
sharp sierra
#

dh just walks in and does this

graceful ravine
#

That’s solid for 54 rounds

sharp sierra
#

more than 150 rating lost

#

with 1-2 wins every q

#

idk whats going on

worthy crag
#

DB + DM seems more popular in EU at least

#

Think it's either double stratagem + rotten

tribal bay
worthy crag
#

or echoing reprimand + dark brew

dense thorn
tribal bay
#

ive gained no rating from 4 and minimal from 5 because i was on a losing streak

#

then when i went over 50% winrate i started getting +47 from 4-2

#

but this is feelscraft anecdotal evidence i dont actually know anything

dense thorn
#

Atm my cr is lower than my MMR

#

So I’m getting in the hundreds

#

Which is nice lol

#

Only 10 wins to 3,000

sharp sierra
#

3000 poggers

waxen meteor
#

Damn running into a lobby with a DH that absolutely didn't talk for target

#

and kept swapping target whole game for no reason

#

then complained about me not following

#

OMEGAKEKW so in last two games, i decided to not target frost DK anymore, just got 2 kills on him

jolly sierra
#

dude

#

the cam works perfectly

#

got a shuffle in blade edges' and actually won lol

#

the shit zoom out when i joined combat so i was able to see everything

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

ahhh

jolly sierra
#

auto

dense thorn
#

is my build.. compared to whazz who plays

#

would whazz be better for solo?

potent pivot
warm lance
#

Those small changes wouldnt exactly make or break anything

jolly sierra
#

ur build is pretty ok

dense thorn
#

i was playing shadowrunner instead of 1 point in lethality

potent pivot
#

the shadowstep CDR can be really useful against caster cleaves

potent pivot
#

you get almost no value out of it as assa

dense thorn
#

thats just what whazz has

#

as in shadowrunner

#

or leth?

#

lol

potent pivot
#

shadowrunner

dense thorn
#

no idea

#

i think i just copied it from here

#

i dont make any builds myself lol

potent pivot
#

there's a good one in the pins

#

the shadowstep CDR can be useful

jolly sierra
#

u can try this tho

potent pivot
#

vs certain comps

dense thorn
#

i like gouge

#

but in solo at my cr

#

its honestly useless

potent pivot
#

so don't take it

dense thorn
#

yh im just saying why

#

to myself lol

potent pivot
#

ah

dense thorn
#

where do you use exsan?

#

ive never actually used it

#

thats the only real dif in that build

potent pivot
#

either as an opener CD

#

or just extra pressure

dense thorn
#

does it apply to new bleeds

#

or just old bleeds?

potent pivot
#

no

#

existing bleeds

dense thorn
#

ok so like.. when i go for a kill.. bleeds up

#

kidney, exsan

potent pivot
#

shiv

dense thorn
#

do you deathmark after?

#

yh and shiv

potent pivot
#

you can

dense thorn
#

kidney, shiv, exsan

potent pivot
#

or you can use them separately

dense thorn
#

together i think in pve

#

you lose huge dps

#

if you use one before the other

#

no idea which one

potent pivot
#

you have to use exsang first

dense thorn
#

does that apply here?

#

ok

potent pivot
#

if you're using both yes

dense thorn
#

so kidney, shiv, exsan, deathmark, kyrian + blast

jolly sierra
#

i use xsang by separate of deathmark

#

as a individual cd to do more pressure later

dense thorn
#

yh that makes sense too

#

but if they are like.. in bomb, kidney

#

you just smash keys

#

lol

#

will try some exsan

jolly sierra
#

can try, but if is trinketed or the enemy priest uses dome

#

F

dense thorn
#

i like the idea of it

#

nah they just die at my cr

#

im only 1300 on my sin

#

lol

jolly sierra
#

since when? XD

dense thorn
#

i have been playing sub

#

the entire time

jolly sierra
#

ah

#

did u got good cr?

dense thorn
#

is there a way to get more conq gear/higher ilvl from crafting or something? I only have enough points to buy a cloak

dense thorn
#

not really

#

1900 i think

#

cant swap as in queue.. not sure if that fucks it

jolly sierra
#

that is better than me actually lol

#

i got like 1850 till i dropped the fuck up cuz demo locks pre nerf

#

now im getting it back, after a month xd

dense thorn
#

i only even started pvping like

#

2 weeks or so ago

#

i have no idea whats going on

dense thorn
jolly sierra
#

maybe is cuz im poor, im playing in a 2014 laptop

jolly sierra
dense thorn
#

isnt that like 408?

jolly sierra
#

can be upgraded to 421

dense thorn
#

malicia

#

doesnt even sell anything anymore

jolly sierra
jolly sierra
#

the upgrader do malicia job now

dense thorn
#

these?

jolly sierra
#

yeah that gear, but upgraded

dense thorn
#

how do you upgrade it?

potent pivot
#

you need a drake dagger

jolly sierra
#

u need tokens from a weekly w pvp wm on

dense thorn
#

yh i havent done a single one of those weeklies

potent pivot
#

Trophies of Strife

jolly sierra
#

is something related to sparks

potent pivot
#

it's not

dense thorn
#

drake shiv?

jolly sierra
#

is in the same gladiator's sanctum

potent pivot
dense thorn
#

i dont even have enough tokens

#

only have 200

jolly sierra
#

nono

#

trophies of strife

potent pivot
#

that's not all you need either

jolly sierra
#

those are from the weekly

potent pivot
#

you need bloody tokens to buy the low lvl dagger

#

then you need to do the weekly as well

dense thorn
#

how do i upgrade it?

potent pivot
#

to get the trophies

#

at the upgrade vendor

dense thorn
#

how many trophies or w.e to get to 424?

potent pivot
#

like 7

jolly sierra
#

just 421 limit

potent pivot
#

it's 421

jolly sierra
#

for a dagger are like 7-8 i recall

dense thorn
#

i can get 8

potent pivot
#

you also need to do wrist and belt

dense thorn
#

today

jolly sierra
#

sure

#

do it

dense thorn
#

is it really worth on the dagger?

jolly sierra
#

yes

#

versa/mastery

dense thorn
#

so id run the 424 and 421

potent pivot
#

ye

dense thorn
#

and not use htem on the feet/belt or cloak?

#

well i buy cloak with conq

warm lance
#

Im kind of amazed people have completely missed those quests

potent pivot
#

wrist and belt

#

from drake gear

jolly sierra
#

u use the crafted boots

#

for pvp

dense thorn
potent pivot
dense thorn
potent pivot
dense thorn
#

i have 424 wrist

#

haste vers

potent pivot
#

that's worse

jolly sierra
warm lance
dense thorn
#

i fucking hate them

#

most boring content ever

#

esp as the weeklie for pve is useless

potent pivot
#

that's the nature of the game

dense thorn
#

i only get upgrades from my 20 vault

warm lance
#

Its pvp tho

dense thorn
#

so

#
  1. get the dagger from bloodty tokens
  2. upgarde to 421
  3. craft pvp boots
    4....
potent pivot
#

like you literally pvp

#

to get the tokens

dense thorn
#

yh but i only started pvping 2 weeks ago

#

😦

#

i didnt know dude

#

haha

potent pivot
#

ik

#

i was just saying

#

it's not a regular crappy weekly

dense thorn
#

ive also done it

potent pivot
#

it's a more annoying but sometimes fun one

dense thorn
#

without the quest

#

as i just wpvp

#

allot lol

potent pivot
#

then you have been semi trolling my friend

dense thorn
#

cant troll if you dont know

#

its just called

potent pivot
#

i would beg to differ

dense thorn
#

nah look

#

i cant carft the pvp feet

worthy crag
#

So Im having kind of a weird internal debate between gloomblade and improved shadow technique

dense thorn
#

it needs a spark

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

but pretty sure even with the lingering shadows talent gloomblade is trash

potent pivot
#

how do you not have sparks

#

?

dense thorn
#

lariat

#

cowl

#

dagger

#

trinket

potent pivot
#

blegh

dense thorn
#

all pve

potent pivot
#

why would you use a spark on trinket

dense thorn
#

it was a 4% dps increase

#

to my overall lol

#

and i had one

potent pivot
#

you needa farm some dungo's

dense thorn
#

i have everything

potent pivot
dense thorn
#

that trinket jus tbroken

#

i have boon, whet, pack, incon etc

sharp sierra
dense thorn
#

this just destroyed them all

potent pivot
#

i didn't think any spec had crafted trinket as bis

#

but i haven't looked closely at the pvp faqs in a while tbf

dense thorn
potent pivot
#

it's actually bis?

#

for what spec lol

dense thorn
#

for my gear apparently

#

sub

#

its huge mastery

#

idol-ward

#

or something

potent pivot
#

there's no better trinkets?

dense thorn
#

earth ward maybe

#

yeah

#

but only at 421

#

from vault

potent pivot
#

ah i see

#

makes sense now

dense thorn
#

so its not bis

#

but its 418

potent pivot
#

i'm guessing you don't raid mythic

dense thorn
#

so it beats out my 402 whet

potent pivot
#

maybe?

dense thorn
#

for instance

#

i raid mythic

#

well i benched myself

potent pivot
#

:o

dense thorn
#

as its so shit

potent pivot
#

o:

dense thorn
#

and boring lol

potent pivot
#

lmfao

#

agreed

dense thorn
#

its the time schedule

#

being on AT x to y

#

even if i was on.. i dont want to like.. have to clock in

potent pivot
#

i love raiding, but there's so much bs that comes along with it

dense thorn
#

yeah exactly

sharp sierra
#

lua errors in arenas

dense thorn
#

i need to get a couple more ports on m+

sharp sierra
dense thorn
#

and thats it

potent pivot
#

pvp especially now with shuffle

#

you just hop in

dense thorn
#

pvp is bis

#

honestly must fun ive had in a while

#

most

#

and i farm during queues

potent pivot
#

yeah i don't think i've had this much fun playing wow since like

dense thorn
#

for transmog haha

potent pivot
#

when i pvped in wrath/cata

warm lance
#

This is why I raid in wotlk. Log on, raid, log out

dense thorn
#

vanilla wpvp

potent pivot
#

are you NA?

dense thorn
#

and also classic wpvp

#

im eu

potent pivot
#

ah

dense thorn
#

QUEUE POP DUDE

#

5/6

#

typical

#

bet its pika on his healer

#

noob

potent pivot
#

@warm lance

#

do you have any outlaw specific macros

dense thorn
#

but its still the time commitment

#

i wanna log on/off when i want

dense thorn
#

i doubt think any are useful

potent pivot
#

yeah i can't think of anything

#

trying to compile a list of macros atm

#

for each spec

dense thorn
#

form a pve perspective

#

and playing 100s of dungeons

#

id say none

#

lol

potent pivot
#

ye just the general focus macros

#

like every spec

dense thorn
#

some do vanish/stealth

#

but i think thats dumb

potent pivot
#

well !stealth can be good

#

just because the base stealth button can't be locked

dense thorn
#

elvui

jolly sierra
#

got back the 1st capstone

#

guys, im out w rog for today

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

all thanks to the magical camera

warm lance
jolly sierra
#

hey loopy try getting those boots, they are very easy to get and u can be saved a lot with that cc reduction

warm lance
#

Only one is cursor hook

#

Thats the only outlaw specific

sharp sierra
#

in sub for pvp last season did we use one dagger one sword?

#

or am i high

fierce laurel
#

2875 solo shuffle. Been above 2400 for a minute…. 1200 games played..
7 focused primal essences… wtf.

sharp sierra
#

ty

dense thorn
potent pivot
dense thorn
#

havent seen one otuside of m+ or raid

jolly sierra
sharp sierra
#

ASFHJHD SAJSHDGF

#

HOW DO I GO FROM 2055 TO THIS

sharp sierra
#

i havent played rogue in a couple seasons but i was certain that was a thing

potent pivot
#

it's not possible for assa

#

outlaw can use dagger OH

#

sub can use slow OH

#

it's just not optimal

dense thorn
#

evokers do so much useless damage lol

potent pivot
#

for sub i mean

jolly sierra
sharp sierra
#

i get the weirdest teammates

#

vs them my teammate barely does damage and doesnt cc

#

when i have them they insta die

#

warriors casually critting 150k mortal strikes

wise breach
#

Man I can't handle more than one shuffle a day, waiting 30 mins for a pop is just too much

dense thorn
#

why is it even that long

#

i dont get it

#

like.. everyone waiting 500 hours

waxen meteor
#

Damn 2-4 on double arm + demo lobby

wise breach
#

I don't know, prior to this week I would usually get a pop in 10-12 minutes

waxen meteor
#

First lost since tier set

wise breach
#

But my last 3-4 have been 25-30 mins

waxen meteor
#

I am doing cata orange dagger now lol

wise breach
#

It's not even just that, I feel like I can't get into a groove

dense thorn
#

ngl this sucks

#

the druid in last round was at 1%

#

rogue dueled me

#

and my guy just...

#

DOESNT HIT HIM

#

lmfao

#

also im dumb

#

but what is this weekly

#

wpvp in a certain area?

potent pivot
#

yes

dense thorn
#

just says get sparks of life lol

potent pivot
#

you can also do any world quests in that area

dense thorn
#

ok so go sub

jaunty mirage
potent pivot
#

or kill rares in that area

jaunty mirage
#

One of the best dagger mogs easily

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

go to the zone

#

open ur pvp tab

potent pivot
#

i think some of the new stuff from this season gets really close to matching it

jolly sierra
#

and search in custom groups for "spark"

#

join and kill everything

#

so u get all ur sparks in a moment

jaunty mirage
#

But yeah I agree

dense thorn
#

WTF

#

its 1 spark per kill

#

jesus

potent pivot
jaunty mirage
potent pivot
#

but if you find a group it goes faster

jaunty mirage
#

But it’s ugly as shit

wise breach
#

Disturbed dirt and expedition scout's packs also drop 5 sparks each

dense thorn
#

everyone just in tank spec

#

lol

jaunty mirage
#

Kinda bizarre the set you get from the same raid you farm those daggers doesn’t actually match the daggers

dense thorn
#

who the fuck said

#

this weekly was fun

#

@potent pivot ban yourself

potent pivot
#

i think you should

#

go back and read my comment

wise breach
#

It depends on which WQ is up

dense thorn
#

i read 'fun

#

and thats all i read

jaunty mirage
#

It can be fun

#

If you get some solid team fights

dense thorn
#

there are currently 4 vdhs

#

a prot

potent pivot
jaunty mirage
#

Yeah don’t even bother hanging around if it’s just tanks

dense thorn
#

and people use health pots etc

#

wpvp is so bad

#

lol

#

like youre going to die why health pot

#

to die in 3 more seconds time

#

i get a vers weapon for outlaw now i guess i can vendor that lol

sharp sierra
#

30 mins to lose 50 rating

#

cant wait

jolly sierra
#

tell us how u went

#

later

sharp sierra
#

yep losing again

#

idk what to do anymore

jaunty osprey
#

Yeah, some lobbies are just losing lobbies

#

😦

sharp sierra
#

250 rating straight loses?

#

i doubt its only the lobbies

jaunty osprey
#

Idk

#

I dropped from 3250

#

to 3020

#

on my main today

jolly sierra
#

i dropped a lot some days ago

jaunty osprey
#

Sometimes it's truly the lobbies you're dealt

jolly sierra
#

well, yesterday

#

like 200 CR

#

now i got them back

jaunty osprey
#

like my alt rogue is 2735 in full blues, only 1/4 tier

jolly sierra
#

shit happens dude

jaunty osprey
#

and less than a day played

#

because I get easy lobbies

#

CR comes and goes

#

not a big deal

#

some lobbies are just rough

#

just keep practicing

sharp sierra
#

FFS

#

i will delete the game

#

i cant stop these fuckers from dying

#

2-4

jolly sierra
#

try tomorrow

sharp sierra
#

-52 again

#

..........

warm lance
#

Rating fluctuates

sharp sierra
#

fucking disaster

#

warm lance
#

Do be like that

tribal bay
#

you must be trolling

#

oh wait

#

#

lmao

#

warm lance
sharp sierra
#

i did so yesterday

warm lance
#

Calm down and go again another time

#

One day might not be enough

sharp sierra
#

i lost 150 last night and i queued up again today

tribal bay
#

jolly sierra
#

try to do something else to get distracted

#

being tired/strsssed will 100% fuck ur matches

waxen meteor
#

cool, finally did a 6-0 after tier set

#

Ret Arm SP lobby

jolly sierra
#

good job

waxen meteor
#

Ret did a perfect physical protection on SP

#

I got deathmark running for 1 second lol

jolly sierra
#

did u got a sp protecting psyfiend with power word shield?

warm lance
#

Thats honestly standard practise

#

Or the psyfiend insta dies

dense thorn
#

haha yeah im done on it now

#

and got the blood tokens

#

so i dagger + these to 421
