No

#

You would change the top line

harsh steppe
#

/cast stealth
/stopattack
/cast !stealth
?

potent pivot
#

Why are you adding lines

harsh steppe
#

sorry if I wasn't clear, i want a macro to stealth & unstealth

potent pivot
#

Yes

plucky sage
#

!stealth means you can't unstealth by pressing it again. If you want to stealth and unstealth with the same button you don't need a macro, the normal stealth spell does that already. First press stealth, press again to unstealth

potent pivot
#

Just edit the first line

harsh steppe
#

ahh so there's no way to make a macro that stealths & has /stopattack or else unstealths if i'm already in stealth

plucky sage
#

I'm curious why exactly you want to ever unstealth?

#

/cast stealth
/stopattack

potent pivot

potent pivot
#

If I had to guess anyway

plucky sage
#

but yeah I guess different strokes for different folks

potent pivot
#

Yeah I usually just fan of knives or something to drop stealth but idk can be a little annoying at times I suppose

wanton breach
#

If you want to unstealth you could put that into a macro for a different ability

#

/cast [stealth]Stealth;[nostealth]Shiv

gloomy mantle
#

Do a /cancelaura stealth at some random button

#

Looking for advice of good sin rogue to watch on switch. My usual ones are all doing Sub/outlaw in solo now

rancid cipher
#

Can anyone tell me mandatory pvp addons

#

Gladius is all I need or?

#

For up to 2k, I dont think I am able to go higher 😄

harsh steppe
#

@rancid cipher https://youtu.be/dinvTq8jcdY is a really good recent video covering the mandatory ones, but check out the sidebar for your class & there are more specific WAs too

is jaxpartycastbars working again? it crashed my game at the start of dragonlands

anyone here willing to analyze my solo shuffle games I recorded (Im bad, like really bad)

but how do I know what rotation is optimal

#

everyone tells me something different

plucky sage
plucky sage
# hoary bear but how do I know what rotation is optimal

Well who is everyone and what did they say was different? Generally, open with cheap shot, double garrote, rupture as step 1. After that you can tea and echoing reprimand, shiv, bone spike, envenom, and then mutilate and envenom on blue combo points.

hoary bear
#

but I want to garrote out of stealth

plucky sage
#

You have a talent

#

That lets you garrote for 3s after stealth

#

The cheap shot is value because you can't use it in that window since you probably aren't specced into subterfuge

#

And if he's stunned you won't get disarmed or stunned or evasioned or whatever on opener.

hoary bear
#

true but I get 2 more combo points with shrouded suffocation

#

Ill try open with cheap shot

plucky sage
#

Another thing is if you can manage it, spread garrotes into at least 2 targets. 2 on main target and one on off target, as it helps with energy regen

plucky sage
hoary bear
#

omg..

plucky sage
#

That's why I said 2 garrotes into rupture, as you'll have full CP from that

hoary bear
#

why the FUCK is everyone telling me to garrote firt then?

plucky sage
#

Well

#

It's situational

#

If you cheap shot your kidney is on DR, I generally kidney healer if I cheap shot my main target

brave scarab
#

Hey Quick question, which one of the assassination builds would be best suited for epic battlegrounds?

hoary bear
#

which talent is the 3s talent?

plucky sage
#

But you can open with marked for death kidney instead of cheap

plucky sage
hoary bear
#

ah

#

improved garrote

plucky sage
#

Yes that one

#

But yeah if you don't cheap

#

It's easier to get 3 garrotes out

#

2 on main target and one on off target

hoary bear
#

but I never use cheap shot then .. I think it might be a good opener

plucky sage
#

Since you get 1 global head start and 3s is fast

plucky sage
#

After rupture I might mark for death kidney and try get trinket in that

#

Especially if healer is blinded and sees this and trinkets too

hoary bear
#

when do I use deathmark then

plucky sage
#

Your kidney is back 20s later and you can use it in a target that doesn't have trinket anymore, and pair it with deathmark for a real go

hoary bear
#

ah

plucky sage
#

If you blow everything in the opener you might get CDs that you would have gotten anyway without burning your deathmark

hoary bear
#

i usually sap into blind healer first then go on main target full kidney smoke to force a reaction

plucky sage
#

And then you'd have nothing left for 2 minutes and trinkets would be back up etc.

hoary bear
#

yeah.. probably

plucky sage
#

And sap, open on target, then blind healer when sao ends

#

You waste a lot of time if you're sapping and waiting for it to end to blind and THEN go

hoary bear
#

very true

#

im dumb lol

plucky sage
#

Basically your opener is to try force CDs that will then allow you to do a real go when they have less defensives to deal with deathmark

proper heath
#

send it. First global. From stealth.

#

it's the mental damage

#

they are marked for death!

plucky sage
#

Or marked for death

#

Sonnics is way way way better than I am so I'll let him take over

hoary bear
#

deathmarkl

#

im ingame i brb

#

ty so much guys

brave scarab
#

Hey Quick question, which one of the assassination builds would be best suited for epic battlegrounds?

plucky sage
#

Good luck

plucky sage
#

Didn't answer

proper heath
plucky sage
#

Torpid's guide on YouTube covers RBG.

proper heath
#

They wont know what to do!

#

@plucky sage I'm obviuosly joking.

#

😄

brave scarab
#

is that guide listed somewhere here?

plucky sage
#

I mean at low MMR it could work lol, but I just worry about them developing bad habits

plucky sage
#

Just search torpid Assa in youtube

proper heath
plucky sage
#

You'll find it

proper heath
#

I never noticed it

brave scarab
#

allright tyvm

proper heath
#

...... 🤦‍♂️

plucky sage
#

Lmao

proper heath
#

OMF

plucky sage
proper heath
#

Dude do not play crimson tempest.

#

You wanna be effective in bgs. Rogue is effective at single target

plucky sage
#

I tend to just go for 1v1 or 2v1 kills in BGs but if you wanna brawl you can go tempest

#

I mean that's my feeling but I believe people should have fun in BGs however they decide

#

So if he just wants to pad then why not

brave scarab
#

i just dont wanna be useless as a complete beginner

proper heath
#

Lol. yes. When we go that approach

proper heath
#

but

#

Assa is so fun in dungeons

plucky sage
#

I'd go normal builds then

proper heath
#

thats for sure

#

Dude Indescrim Carnage. in dungeons. oh my

plucky sage
#

Learn to duel people, pick off healers that are left behind

proper heath
#

so good

plucky sage
#

That sort of thing

#

Or go for sneaky caps and duel the defender etc

proper heath
#

yeah. Win the game. Do things o ther classes can't do

plucky sage
#

As rogue it's great because you can deal with 2v1s reasonably well with sap and blind and vanish

proper heath
#

dont ... run in and crimson tempest. Lol

#

I would say yes if crimson t empest damage is insane. but it's really just a tickle

plucky sage
#

:D

proper heath
#

if a priest presses 1 radiance. it's all healed

plucky sage
#

Yeah for brawling I'd go unholy or fury or something, but I play rogue

plucky sage
proper heath
#

Dude now that!

#

is a brawler

#

if you wanna brawl. Go blade flurry people.

plucky sage
#

Trying to master it before I turn to other specs

proper heath
#

Blade flurry . You'll be moving healthbars.

#

Fully buffed Adren rush rogue in the middle of a group in bgs.

#

The pump

hoary bear
#

my brain is amazing

#

before the game I told myself I start with cheap shot

#

guess what I didnt do

#

exactly

#

I didnt start with cheap shot

#

but it went well

proper heath
#

Sometimes I go to the toilet. and then walk out because I forgot what I went there for.

#

I feel u

plucky sage
#

What was different?

hoary bear
#

this game I spread garrote more

plucky sage
#

Good

hoary bear
#

and I made sure the healer had mind num bing in him

#

and thjis time

#

I went sap into dmg on main target

#

into blind

plucky sage
hoary bear
#

into smoke bomb

plucky sage
#

Good stuff

hoary bear
#

they were throwing def cd around

#

like hell

plucky sage
#

Hehe

hoary bear
#

toxic blade?

plucky sage
#

And then you still have deathmark for 2nd kidney 20s later when their best defensives are gone

hoary bear
#

I dont have 4 pc rogue set yet btw this makes me feel like im at disadv

proper heath
hoary bear
proper heath
#

Get 4 set soon! It's really good

plucky sage
hoary bear
#

I mean I can only wait right I only have 1 set item so far

plucky sage
#

So you can just shoot it from where you are

proper heath
hoary bear
#

Im new to wow pretty much

proper heath
#

oh ok.

hoary bear
#

and my first was a dh

proper heath
#

Yeah you can only get 1 piece a week tier. But if you did the quest multiple weeks. You will have multiple charges.

hoary bear
#

now im thinkingabout a disc priest ^^

plucky sage
#

You can still get far without tier bonus

hoary bear
#

what quest exactly? I thought it was about getting honor per week etc

#

I mean rank

proper heath
#

Tier!?

plucky sage
proper heath
#

So every week. There is a quest in the Vault room. Where you get a weekly charge for your tier set.

plucky sage
#

My advice is pick a class and stick to it until you're decent

proper heath
#

If you've done it 4 week . You can get 4 set on every character

plucky sage
#

If you try play a bunch of classes now when you haven't mastered any, you'll make life harder

#

I had that struggle and now I exclusively play my rogue in (rated) PvP to get better at it

faint dagger
#

Personal advice is just keep fuckin with the classes until you find one that vibes w/ you

#

Then game that one

hoary bear
#

there is a quest in the vault room? never seen one

plucky sage
#

Yes ^

hoary bear
#

ye

plucky sage
#

True if you haven't figured that out yet then by all means try them all

hoary bear
#

I know what you saiyng

#

but hear me out

#

i play only SS

#

and dps queus acan be rough

#

so a healer might be a good choice

plucky sage
#

Sure

#

But probably best to then just play the healer

hoary bear
#

Ill be back later 🙂 guys

#

true

plucky sage
#

Alright, see ya

plucky sage
#

I love it :) I could never play rogue in wod/BFA/SL because I lived in Africa and had 180ms, just felt awful with the ping to do arenas and have such fast gcd. So played DK mostly. Now that I'm in EU I can finally play rogue without ping issues and I'm so damn happy

proper heath
plucky sage
#

And vanilla>WotLK I played warri

plucky sage
proper heath
#

WHAT

#

😮

plucky sage
#

Yeah

#

Lol

proper heath
#

where are you now?

plucky sage
#

Switzerland at the moment, moving to France in July

proper heath
#

And where in SA? Jhb? Capetown?

plucky sage
#

Jozi

proper heath
#

Bro....

#

I'm glad you got out.

plucky sage
#

What's your ping? I'm curious

proper heath
#

I moved to the US. I'm in seattle now.

plucky sage
#

Yeah, I'm going back to SA for a wedding in 2 weeks

proper heath
#

In Wrath. It was 800.

plucky sage
#

I have a french passport so was easy to leave

proper heath
#

When I last played in SA. my ping was 300

#

It was impossible to pvp

#

Impossible.

plucky sage
#

Ya, with fibre it's better but still 180 ish

#

Not great

plucky sage
#

Unholy DK worked because I could just rot everything

#

And pets did the work

#

But still I'd easily miss pet kicks

proper heath
#

For people that dont know. When ur ping is high. As a melee character with high ping. The target isn't where your PC says he is. On the server he is ahead of that position.
So when I had 800-400 ping. I couldn't hit anything as rogue.

#

becaues if someone kites you. You are always out of range. Becaues that person isnt there anymore.

#

it was horrible.

plucky sage
#

Yeah, pretty much need to play affli or unholy

proper heath
#

You you either had to be ranged. Or something that respositions them or slows them from range.

#

well it's good ur in EU m8. Eu takes wow very seriously over there. Lol

#

those people game for real

plucky sage
#

When did you leave?

#

I lived in Canada during early wow, had to make a new EU account when I came back to wow during WoD

#

Haha yeah and nice to be able to walk to and from a bar at night in relative peace 😅

I’ve had so much of my shit turned off because of all the errors I cba and only use a couple things

plucky sage
#

What do you track teammate casts for? I already struggle with keeping track of enemy casts in the fight, let alone paying attention to those of my team

#

Just to see team clones/sheeps/tranq type stuff?

dusky flower
#

Imo the amount of addons and shit people track is wild.

proper heath
dusky flower
#

Tracking team cast bars is like that stupid teegcd weak aura that track enemy globals, useless run less your r1 level lol

plucky sage
jolly sierra
#

haha how situational to being both from the same country

plucky sage
old dome
#

Im utterly garbage on sin in pvp. I wanna try get 1.8k in SS for elite set. Shall I stick to it?

plucky sage
dusky flower
plucky sage
#

Volume, and practice, and if possible vod review your own gameplay to look for repetitive mistakes

old dome
#

Yea was my initial thought. Keep grinding (obviously I cant be good at it at this point). But I played way better in SL as outlaw and sub.

dusky flower
#

subs on the come up right now. and outlaw hurts to play

plucky sage
dusky flower
#

feels bad to ramp up and then max dmg a clothie for 60k LOL

plucky sage
#

If even that 😅

dusky flower
#

yeah thats like the heaven opens. and you parted the sea for a burst

plucky sage
#

Granted my gear has improved since the time I was trying outlaw but sheesh

plucky sage
dusky flower
#

outlaw was free 2.1 with a healer lol

plucky sage
#

I couldn't play SL, I quit after a month I fucking hated it

#

Anima, covenants, oribos, maw, all that shit just made me want to gouge my eyes out.

#

The zones also felt like shit

old dome
#

Was bad. Hopefully the new ring wont be anima/power creep rng.

dusky flower
#

fuck the maw lol

plucky sage
#

After this comfy af DF

dusky flower
#

i did like the pvp in korthia that, the lack of flying mounts is fun for wpvp

plucky sage
#

I've got 5 level 70s, don't feel bad at all when I ignore them for weeks

plucky sage
#

I think that's the coolest mechanic for wpvp to make flying less OP

old dome
#

Best open world pvp was Nazjatar hands down.

plucky sage
#

Takes skill to hit the guy

dusky flower
#

im a large world pvp enjoyer lol. i picked up my hunter again just for world pvp.

plucky sage
#

And skill to evade

dusky flower
#

ive been camping on cliffs as bait to knock lol

plucky sage
#

So fun in BGs and wpvp

old dome
plucky sage
#

That'd be fun to see

dusky flower
#

you seen solidarity or whoever it is? hes like the master of hunter wpvp bait kills

plucky sage
#

I'm a bit of a John Wick myself

old dome

Watch this guy

#

Never seen anyone like this in open world pvp. He is matrix and john wicks love child.

dusky flower
tame nexus
#

I am constantly losing stealth in some Bgs. Is there an item with minor affect or something?

plucky sage
#

Not sure.

#

My biggest issue is I sap DHs and they trinket spectral

#

they what lol...

isnt it just crafted?

#

Hey, does anyone use GladiusEx here?

graceful ravine
#

i wish gladiusex updated spells for evokers

old dome
#

Can you macro Thistle Tea to trink or offensive cd?

plucky sage
plucky sage
potent pivot
#

You want to use it for energy not just when pressing trinket etc

plucky sage
#

if you're over 2K in SS you can probably easily do 16s

potent pivot
plucky sage

@jolly sierra

sArena enjoyer here

potent pivot
#

Been like 3ish months of this Sadge

plucky sage
#

what's the problem with your arena addon?

potent pivot
#

?

potent pivot
#

You mean gladius or the guy asking about Ex

potent pivot
plucky sage
jolly sierra
plucky sage
#

so if they trinket in previous game still shows it's on CD in a new one?

jolly sierra
#

does it drops in chests?

plucky sage
#

that sucks

potent pivot
#

Like it acts like all 6 matches are one big arena game and doesn’t reset at the beginning of each match

potent pivot
#

It’s not a huge issue

plucky sage
potent pivot
#

Just weird

plucky sage
#

until I got rio up to a decent level

#

also made sure to do new dungeons each time to bring up the total faster

potent pivot
#

Can’t you also get the items from rares

plucky sage
plucky sage
potent pivot
#

The shit for crafted items

plucky sage
#

well sparks to craft them can drop from rares

#

but concentrated primal infusion is only from +16 chests

#

or Mythic raid bosses

potent pivot
#

Ah ye

plucky sage
#

or 2400+ CR arena wins I think

potent pivot
#

Yeah

#

I knew it dropped from those

plucky sage
#

but yeah for me it'd be WAY easier to get from m+ than the other 2 options

potent pivot
#

Just haven’t killed a rare in ages Skull

jolly sierra
#

2400 is excessive, 1k6 at + is def easier

plucky sage
#

I got a spark the other day but no idea from where

#

just saw it in my bags

potent pivot
#

I think it also drops more often from m+ afaik

#

But still a decent bit of farming

plucky sage
#

they're easier than HC Rasz

jolly sierra
#

nope

plucky sage
#

ah

jolly sierra
#

my computer is shit

#

so i cant do too much stuff

plucky sage
#

mine too xD I get 10fps at valdrakken fountain, have to lurk on the outskirts of the city

#

in raid I get like 20fps

plucky sage
#

I'm 7/8 HC VotI but all been through pugging, and struggling to find an HC kill on Rasz :/

jolly sierra
#

in my server a run costs 100k

#

im very shameless with PVE, so i dont care about boosts there

plucky sage
#

lol, I refuse to pay

#

but I'm wowheading it now, I don't think you will get the concentrated infusion from just 1 HC kill

#

So yeah, can't get it from HC rasz

#

you get the primal focus from +16 chest and Mythic raid bosses only, and need 10 of them for 418 infusion

jolly sierra
#

sounds ridiculous

#

but seems like is the reward

plucky sage
#

+16 is honestly easy

#

Idk what your valdrakken fps is, but if its 10 like me you can do M+ and raid

jolly sierra
#

100k gold is easier, i farm the gold in just a moment

plucky sage
#

but you won't get it from HC rasz

#

or you're doing it for entry ticket to mythic first bosses?

jolly sierra
#

lemme see something better

#

i'll screenshot the quest

#

and we will see if indeed is the reward

plucky sage
#

I clicked the link, that quest can be completed on any raid difficulty, and you get the smaller, 405 infusion. Primal Infusion. The one to upgrade to 418 is called concentrated primal infusion

wintry dew
#

concentrated comes from mythic raid kills and +16 and upwards m+ dungeons

plucky sage
#

but yeah send the SS I'm curious if there is an HC quest. I turned the quest in for my normal Rasz kill and just got the baby 405 infusion and don't have a quest for the 418

wintry dew
#

there are no HC quests other than the skip quest

plucky sage
#

what's the skip quest?

#

to skip the dragon intro phase?

wintry dew
#

a quest where you kill diurna 3 times and you'll then be able to enter the raid, kill just the 1st boss and then skip all bosses directly into diurna

#

so boss 1 --> boss 7

plucky sage
#

ah I see

fierce laurel
#

Every raid has a quest that lets you skip to the end once you clear it enough.

plucky sage
#

yeah I've killed diurna 3 times but still only have 1/3 on the quest. I think I need to be doing staff mechanics to get credit

wintry dew
#

^

#

nah

#

you need to loot the boss

#

xD

plucky sage
#

that's weird

#

or is it heroic only then?

wintry dew
#

no

#

there are 3 quests

jolly sierra
#

yes, is the concentrated

#

fuck

wintry dew
#

one for each difficulty

plucky sage
#

oooh

#

fuck

wintry dew
#

you get it as soon as you enter the raid

plucky sage
#

I need to look into that

#

my quest been on 1/3 since my first normal kill

wintry dew
#

"get it" not quite, you need to talk to kalegos (?) and accept it

plucky sage
#

and since that time I've cleared normal several times and killed her in HC too so maybe it's bugged or something

wintry dew
#

doubt it

#

if you have the normal raid quest, you must loot, like literally click on her corpse

#

in 3 different weeks

#

same for HC

#

and eventually, same for mythic

jolly sierra
#

well solved

#

my former pve homies from WOD will help me w that

wintry dew
#

with killing raz for the quest?

old dome
#

Vers/mast BiS stats as sin right?

wintry dew
#

yes

#

most of the FaQ are there

old dome
#

Running crimson gladiator dagger mh and Drakebreaker's shiv oh.

celest nexus
#

was sub rogue buffed or smth? I see tier lists where it’s pulling ahead of sin

wintry dew
#

Do tier lists really matter?

plucky sage
#

hmm. Find it weird that I'd forget to loot her corpse that many weeks in a row. Maybe I finished the normal quest then, and my HC quest is on 1/3 only. That could be it

#

and maybe my group just like to reclear the entire thing rather than use the skip

wintry dew
#

You can check if thats the normal or hc quest

celest nexus
wintry dew
#

nah nothing changed

celest nexus
#

As 3 weeks ago Assa was S tier and sub C tier

wintry dew
#

rogues started playing sub xD

#

bcs nothing really changed

jolly sierra
#

assa is still high

wintry dew
#

@potent pivot you might help with these PVP questions better than me

jolly sierra
#

just ppl wanted to run sub cuz maybe felt more comfortable

#

but assa is still stronger

wintry dew
#

sub solo shuffle ive heard its huge if you manage to get trinkets b4 your big go where you can just duel oneshot the guy

wicked rampart
#

Well depending on when he last played, 3 weeks could have been pre 4pc nerf as well

#

Which was the beginning of the larger shift of people actually trying sub

jolly sierra
wicked rampart
#

But it's been good the entire time, sin was just giga broke so why not play that lol

jolly sierra
#

tbh the 4p nerf is unnoticeable, and a 3k guy here checked the set wasn't nerfed at all

celest nexus
#

I hit 2.1k 3 weeks ago and really wanted to push 2.4k but I can’t stand 30min in queues

Nothing really changed about that, right?

wintry dew
#

right

#

i mean at 2.1 i believe queus get a bit faster

#

like 10-15 mins

wicked rampart
#

Queues seem to be all over the place still tbh

#

I can go from insta to 30 min+ to insta again in 3 consecutive games, it's still probably just entirely dependent on the healers queueing at the time

wintry dew
#

it is fun tho playing at 2.1/2.2 mmr, and you get queued into 1.8 healers

jolly sierra
#

can u tell me about the lariat procs?

#

but the stats

#

themselves

wintry dew
#

Its not common in pvp

#

i know the specs channels have a command to show a list of gems + what stat they proc

jolly sierra
#

it is in the pvp faq tho

#

but not the exact amount

#

ah nvm

#

250+

#

per proc

waxen meteor
#

i just read a post of Ret in PTR

#

pff

#

it seems Ret is a fake melee spec

#

OMEGAKEKW all melee skills have range between 11 yrd to 23 yrd

jolly sierra
#

XD

#

sounds like surv

#

how do people oneshot in duel? i rarely do enough damage to kill from full

#

SS so hard man

i sap people and my team just afk

wintry dew

#

What you guys use for shoulder if you use only 2 set

#

pfffffffffffff, i just realized i am so dumb

#

i used the intelligence enchant for leg till now

#

i thought the fierce armor kit is only for certain commercial skill

wintry dew
#

You can also buy that one from the AH

waxen meteor
#

yeah i know it now

#

fuck

wintry dew
#

the int enchant didnt help at all, int isnt working!

#

😛

waxen meteor
#

it does come with 100+ stamina

so...

#

that's why i was using it

#

now i just feel too dumb

wintry dew
#

its fine. most people dont even know there is a leg enchant available

#

so you were only half wrong

#

#perspective

plucky sage
#

does no one armory check to see whats what?

hoary bear
#

I only have like 4-5% haste on my rogue.. is that a problem?

plucky sage
#

for pvp as assa? no

#

dotting everyone up and tea is more than enough energy regen

waxen meteor
#

For Sin/Sub no

#

Honestly, I removed some haste, like feeling zero difference

#

That's probably also why the battle master is even better than the haste + primary stat trigger one

#

because battle master has primary stat as constant lol (lower amount but constant)

hazy pewter
#

dumb question, anyone have any idea what would cause me to cast blind at a near target in range instead of my current target

waxen meteor
#

when your target is cleared

#

check if you accidentally cleared your target or you are using some macro with clear target

hazy pewter
#

for example I was just about to blind a warlock and it blinded his pet that I never once targeted

#

and he was an orc

#

and it was just the normal blind keybind

waxen meteor
#

OMEGAKEKW i am not sure why orc is a factor here, but cast skills on closet thing mostly happen when you currently don't have a target

hazy pewter
#

because night elves can meld

#

which can cause you to lose your target

#

(though hes a lock so yknow)

#

its happened to me on 3 separate occasions now and I don't understand what's causing it

waxen meteor
#

never happened to me sorry

jolly sierra
#

try to record urself and show us

waxen meteor
#

did hpal in 3 days

#

need to finish weekly mission for arenas

#

swap to ret for quick finish

#

and play rogue again, it feels so good

jolly sierra
#

i need to push w rog again

#

but the pally is priority RN, is very close to elite xmog

#

so can sit while goes reworked

hoary bear
#

oh my f... god

#

I just realized watching my vod.. that I dont use rupture like at all

#

ROFL

jolly sierra
wintry dew
jolly sierra
#

this post is gold

wintry dew
#

Brooooo

hoary bear
#

im the worst rogue in the world

wintry dew
#

You gonna pump hard now that you realized the mistake

jolly sierra
#

yeah

hoary bear
#

i think so too

#

hahaha

wintry dew
#

So let's go man go queu and rupt+garrote everything that walks

#

And paladins.

jolly sierra
#

we need more paladins

wintry dew
#

My ret friend wants to play too

#

But he loses rating and braincells after every SS

jolly sierra
#

i was bullied by my total round

wintry dew
#

I believe he doesn't talk anymore, he just yells Tchuuutchuuu

jolly sierra
#

but ppl doesn't understand the spec is in the shit

wintry dew
#

Because he is obviously the train (target)

jolly sierra
#

and u need to effort twice the habitual to actually play

wintry dew
#

Yes

hoary bear
#

Im watching a vod right.. and in the vod I check my details damage meter and i see 0 rupture.. it was legit saw 1 end of movie soundtrack

jolly sierra
wintry dew
#

Part of the learning is realizing our mistakes brother so you just realized you can now kill people

hoary bear
#

hahaha yes

wintry dew
#

Rupture also gives you more energy ticks, so you can literally press your keys more often

jolly sierra
#

i wanna be called Crusader3455 w my ret

wintry dew
#

LOL

#

How's your table / keyboard doing?

jolly sierra
#

who

wintry dew
#

Kinda confused

#

Isn't crusader something the guy who pvps as holy(?) And rages a lot?

jolly sierra
#

yes

wintry dew
#

Then what's with the "who" xD

jolly sierra
#

i thought u were asking me for the keyboard

#

lol

wintry dew
#

Oh nooo

#

I was jokingly asking how were your table and keyboard doing, because you know, crusader 3455 smashing stuff

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

when he is saying U ARE SO BAD

candid condor
jolly sierra
#

uh oh what now\

candid condor
#

You said the word

jolly sierra

how and when do you guys make use of shadowmeld into stealth macro as nightelf rogue?

potent pivot
potent pivot
hoary bear

ok my problem is often times my stealth breaks instantly

#

i probably need to cloak first

#

oh and whats the fastest way to get a 4 pc?

worthy crag
potent pivot
#

Then you can convert conquest gear into 4pc

jolly sierra
#

crap always get the bad matches w the ret

potent pivot
sullen umbra
#

does anyone have issues with the enemy cd weak auras not showing up?

#

it literally just shows like skyfury totem

harsh steppe
#

so i like this wa out of all listed in the faq, but why is shuriken storm in the list?

potent pivot
harsh steppe
#

ahhh that makes more sense

potent pivot
#

We could ask the author though if you’re still curious

#

Because I have no idea tbh

harsh steppe
#

for pvp there's just really no script is there, all reaction pretty much?
i've pored over the rotation pages linked & having a hard time customizing my ui towards a super simple script that combines opener & sustained, but i think it's just all reaction at this point right?

potent pivot
#

Yeah there’s not really a script

#

Your opener rotation is somewhat scripted, like the abilities you press to do dmg. But things can change at the drop of a hat in pvp

tame rivet
#

I love that my time spent in shuffles with DHs means teaching people that 1 autoattack interrupts sight and lets me sap and roam in peace

hoary bear
#

I need how many charges for one piece transformation?

potent pivot
hoary bear
#

wow

potent pivot
#

you just go start the quest and do group content

#

meaning pvp/m+/raid or even the world boss iirc

hoary bear
#

i only need 3 charges then

potent pivot
hoary bear
#

sweet

potent pivot
#

that's 3 weeks tho

hoary bear
#

wait

#

I think its account wide

#

so I could get charges on diff chars

#

and use them on one?

potent pivot
#

that isn't how it works exactly

#

so

#

you do it on your main, and then your alts automatically have the same charge

hoary bear
#

ohhh

#

but thats also cool

potent pivot
#

but you can only use charges on those chars you can't transfer them

#

yeah it's still nice

hoary bear
#

k now im at abover 800 rank since I use rupture

#

lmao

raw oak
#

what rating in solo is considered "decent", "good" ? and very good ? asking as a sub rogue

potent pivot
raw oak
#

lets say very good are the top 10%, good top 25%, hope that helps

#

because I feel like for each spec, a rating might mean something completly different

harsh steppe
#

so if i can't shadowstrike i should always try to get a manual slice & dice in correct?

raw oak
#

not only between different classes, but also specs within a class

potent pivot
#

but i think even xunamate stops at a certain #

raw oak
#

I tried, the only way is to manually count the number of people on the ladder no ?

#

yea

#

all I really need is the amount of players that played at least 50 solo shuffle, then i'll be able to make my math

potent pivot
#

typically the way the other brackets have worked in the past is roughly 1800 is median skill level of the populous

raw oak
#

yea, but isn't solo highly inflated

potent pivot
#

doesn't matter that much

#

the other brackets have been more inflated than shuffle is rn in the past

raw oak
#

I see

#

1.8 is a decent player then, 2.2k+ is good, 2.8k+ very good and 3k geniuses, sound fair ?

harsh steppe
#

because of premeditation

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

but yeah kinda

harsh steppe
#

ah ok tysm

potent pivot
# harsh steppe ah ok tysm

outside of shadow dances you want to be just casting finishers when you can so that you can get cdr to reset dance charges

#

so if you're able to just stay in and 'pve' then you'd backstab or shuriken storm to build combo points

#

and you'd be spreading ruptures, eviscerates, slice, etc

harsh steppe
#

ahh ok

#

i will go ahead and just relax then & just try to mainly focus on this rotation first then i think
anything i should change in that rot? or is that still good @potent pivot

potent pivot
#

roughly yeah

harsh steppe
#

and when it says shadowstrike, it means to vanish so that i can shadowstrike right?

potent pivot
#

no

#

it would say to press vanish if you were supposed to

harsh steppe
#

well that explains 99% of my recent losses then lol

potent pivot
#

vanish is mostly a defensive cd

#

when you press shadow dance it allows you to use shadowstrike for it's entire duration

harsh steppe
#

ahhhhh i forgot about that ok tysm ❤️ really appreciate you

#

ugh last question for today i promise
where is smoke bomb in the burst rot? before kidney or buffs?

potent pivot
#

typically right after kidney

#

but if you're using all of your CDs then you probably don't need to use bomb to get the enemy to trinket or trade something

#

can use it for a raw shadow dance/symbols burst window afterward

#

can use shadowy duel the same way, or you can use either of them defensively as well

harsh steppe
#

ahhh so that's why they didn't include it then ok tyty

jolly sierra
#

question, how relevant is /cleartarget in macros?

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

in focus macros

potent pivot
#

idk earlier in the expansion some focus macros didn't work at all so you had to add it

jolly sierra
#

i see, i blinded a guy and was the main after pressing the buttons

potent pivot
#

i've seen some say it's been fixed but i haven't bothered looking tbh i still have mine that way

#

if you're 100% sure you pressed the right thing then try adding the cleartarget lines to it

#

just add /cleartarget to the top and /targetlasttarget to the bottom

jolly sierra
#

lemme see again

tawny kestrel
wise breach
#

Meh, at this point just remove it and give us other PvP talents worth a damn

vocal surge
#

finally

#

a buff

#

thats a start

#

after all these years

jolly sierra
#

this is very good

wise breach
#

It's not much, just like last time

#

Might be 10k-ish hp?

vocal surge
#

15k

#

its like 1.9k stamina ye?

jolly sierra
#

1,9k yeah

vocal surge
#

ye

#

thats another 15k hp

#

looks big on paper but thats a drop of water

jolly sierra
#

:/

vocal surge
#

also that Dispatch damage modifier is small

#

but its something atleast

jolly sierra
#

the thing is

#

why there are not any ele nerfs yet

tawny kestrel
#

ele doesnt rly need a nerf

#

its good but not a problem

jolly sierra
#

are u sure with not all that RNG dmg from nowhere?

tawny kestrel
#

its just a strong class

#

nothing that needs a big nerf

jolly sierra
#

and what about rog shiv? xd

vocal surge
#

keep general shiv

#

look at sin shiv instead

jolly sierra
#

hemotoxin i say ofc

tawny kestrel
#

it should just be removed at this point

jolly sierra
#

hemotoxin

#

nerfed by 5% this time

tawny kestrel
#

ye, lucky thats the only nerf to assa

jolly sierra
#

yeah

We are fine

wise breach
#

I guess also that Shiv can't be dispelled by poison cleansing classes

#

Could see dropping it for Maneuverability in some cases now though

#

Previously you'd normally drop Bomb if you also needed Dismantle

jaunty mirage
vocal surge
#

depends on what you mean

jaunty mirage
#

true

wise breach
#

Facing S3/S4 Outlaw as Assa was miserable

#

Evasion every 30s, fuck that

vocal surge
#

S3/4 Outlaw was because of conduits, legendary and set

#

I have a video posted not too long ago showcasing Prepared for All reducing my Evasion's CD by 1min in 10s

#

because of all the dodge procs

#

Combine that with free CDR from the Outlaw set at the time firing a 7cp BTE every 6 pistol shots

#

much faster cp generation from dumbed down rotation and blunderbuss

#

and you had a really fast Evasion back up

#

Vanishes pretty much free due to combo point generation

#

and mikanikos aving you from certain death w. auto phialing when dipping under 35% hp

jaunty mirage
#

damage profile is def kinda similar to assa

vocal surge
#

there was also the amount CC duration reduction from Mikanikos' passive combined w. the relentless brooch

jaunty mirage
#

yeah

vocal surge
#

but ye, it was mainly the covenant legendaries and set bonus combined that dumped down Outlaw to a 3 button rotation

#

Spam SS, get Blunderbuss Proc? Pistol Shot (ignore Opportunity proc)

jaunty mirage
#

whats different about df outlaw

vocal surge
#

The rotation is a lot more complex than Shadowlands Outlaw

#

and you can destroy Outlaw's dps profile with a few well placed CCs

#

W. the current build

#

Ambush (HO proc) --> Dispatch --> FTH Opp Pistol Shot --> Audacity Ambush (HO proc) --> Finisher

jaunty mirage
vocal surge
#

not really

#

Outlaw really suffers hard

#

when you do cuck their window of dps

#

their dps profile is like a line that slowly curves down

#

if you stop the start, it takes them far longer to setup

#

especially if you drop their Audacity / Fan the Hammer opportunity window

#

then its rng hell for 5 - 13 sinister strikes

#

before they're able to do damage

#

as long as they maintain that loop of Audacity and Opportunity procs

#

they do good damage

#

if you break it or they have really bad luck

#

they dont do damage

#

Opportunity lasts 12 seconds and Audacity i'll have to relook

jaunty mirage
#

yeah makes sense

#

id say sub falls under that category still

vocal surge
#

makes sense

jaunty mirage
#

but yeah once assa gets dots up you can still do 20k dps while fully cced

vocal surge
#

yep

jaunty mirage
#

most fun part of learning sub was finding out you could get aoe feared during duel

vocal surge
#

Im working on a Outlaw build that could potentially cycle through the bad rng or downtime that HO/GSW has

jaunty mirage
#

by someone not in the duel*

vocal surge
#

People can aoe heal through duel as well

jaunty mirage
#

yeah i didnt know that as well until it happened

vocal surge
#

that reminds me

#

they should bring back stamina for Enduring Brawler so we can live up to our class fantasy

fierce laurel
#

Duel is really just single target smoke bomb.

vocal surge
#

yee

#

theory moment

#

two monitor for arena partner

jaunty mirage
vocal surge
#

you stream so he can watch on 1 monitor

#

and play wow on the other

#

you shadowy duel

#

and he AOEs the air where enemy is at in Shadowy Duel

jaunty mirage
#

hahaha

vocal surge
#

while CCing enemy healer / partner

jaunty mirage
#

sub is def way more fun than i thought it would be

#

much easier to get angry if im playing shuffle though

#

you can get boned by your teammates way harder

vocal surge
#

yep

#

subs really setup based

jaunty mirage
#

yeah

#

i mean its fine a lot of times, cause you can kinda just set everything up yourself

#

but you def have to like beg people not to stun certain targets and stuff

vocal surge
#

yep

jaunty mirage
#

and the arms wars will def still do it

vocal surge
#

one small issue

#

People cant read

jaunty mirage
#

"please just stun the other dps"

#

"sure thing"
leaps across the map and stuns the kill target first thing*

#

i actually start on my mount if im with a warrior or dh

#

because i need to get across the map before they do or else i cant sap anything lmao

vocal surge
#

ye

#

they should really do something to punish warriors for running way ahead of the group

#

and hard los their team

jaunty mirage
#

main character class

vocal surge
#

yep

jolly sierra
#

i def would stop switching target in shuffle

#

even if a target is low hp cuz the dps doesn't realize when to switch

vocal surge
#

I had a weird SS game at 1900 rating where the other dps was constantly switching targets

#

when the target we were just killing was low on hp and without defensives

jolly sierra
#

i changed target to the crappy hpal we had against after bubble

#

bursted, the other guy didn't follow it in time

#

so i just left a deathmark while the other guy was tanking the 2 other dps

#

so fuck it, i won't anymore

#

im just losing hard w rog ATM

#

maybe is not the day?

jaunty mirage
#

some days are just like that

jolly sierra
#

lemme try 1 more time

#

if i don't get a good match im out for now

jaunty mirage
#

few weeks ago i tanked my spriest from 2.5 down to 1840 lmao

#

in basically one and a half sessions

#

sometimes its not a bad idea to just stop for a while

livid sparrow
#

is it still possible to get the artifact thunderfury?

jolly sierra
#

maybe lack of sleep?

jaunty mirage
#

just some days you are doing everything wrong

#

i got most of it back a few days later

#

shuffle is just big swings

#

you can gain and lose a lot of rating really fast

livid sparrow
#

i trying to take kill 1000 players

vocal surge
#

oh thought you meant to unlock the Thunderfury skin

#

havent tried the pvp thunderfury skin

jolly sierra
#

it doesn't forgive anything

jaunty mirage
#

yeah

#

i think its fine that way though tbh

#

it kinda has to be

#

playing 6 rounds youre essentially playing 6 games

jolly sierra
#

the thing than frustrates me the most is the fact u need to wait a lot

jaunty mirage
#

yeah

livid sparrow
#

yes actually i wanted any thunderfury but i don't know how to get it trying to watch videos on youtube it's harder

jolly sierra
#

also, against who are u using cheat death?

jaunty mirage
#

you can use it most shuffle games tbh

jolly sierra
#

im just using elusiveness atm

#

and battlemaster instead insignia

jaunty mirage
#

yeah i mean both are fine tbh

jaunty osprey
#

cheat is bis in every shuffle match pretty much

#

cant trust no healers

jaunty mirage
#

also true

jolly sierra
#

that sounds pretty reasonable

proper heath
#

Shit

#

need to push tonight

#

Waaaaa

jaunty osprey
#

finally got my alt rogue to 3200 T_T

#

time is of the essence

jaunty osprey
#

i wanna hit 3300 tonight

jolly sierra
#

carry my rog ffs, im tired of this aaagh

#

anyways

#

going to another shuffle, full cheat now

#

wish me luck guys

#

3-3

#

played more relaxed against an arcane and a frost

#

the problem was a feral who just died in burst xd

jolly sierra
#

without BM or anything similar?

jaunty osprey
#

i use bm vs windwalkers or sub rogues

jolly sierra
#

cuz they can delete you EZ?

#

are u not using it w warriors?

jaunty osprey
#

it depends

#

if it's warrior + caster no

#

if it's warrior + another melee - ya

#

just my personal pref

jolly sierra
#

i see

#

nah, everything is welcome tbh

#

maybe i was wasting too much without using cheat death

jaunty osprey
#

Elusiveness is def prob better - I just have trust issues

#

w healers

jolly sierra
#

me too, specially in this bracket

jaunty osprey
#

you cant go wrong with either though

jolly sierra
#

a lot of times u get the 6-0 healer

jaunty osprey
#

if you're facing like non burst classes

jolly sierra
#

and the 0-6 one

jaunty osprey
#

elusiveness is fine

jolly sierra
#

got the point

#

ty

#

anyone have any thoughts on why enemy cds weak aura won't work?

jolly sierra
#

dunno, im using mes enemy cds and works fine

#

What race should I make my rogue?

got touched of death

potent pivot
#

but if you don't care much about your race and want to optimize then ye

#

triggered feign

#

and just vanished

then keep fighting

#

ok i was reading hpal pvp

now a drood is scolding me cuz i didn't used deathmark

#

checked the recount in all games

the macro was bugged

#

so i didn't xdd

#

well, last one

#

will get 1k8 again and go to rest

waxen meteor
#

TBH i think weekend and monday are not good

#

Random healer shows up

jolly sierra
#

someone said monday was the best day to push

#

dunno why

#

the thing i was very very unlucky in this match

#

to have UI bugged w macros and didn't noticing and to have cheat death not triggering 3 times in a row

#

i was waiting for the proc to vanish away but never happened

waxen meteor
#

I think if you wanna cheese it, it's probably good

jolly sierra
#

its ok tho

#

got 4-2
