#

I dont like play mirror matches

jolly sierra
#

literal the dmg was just tickles

proven kayak
#

So I play the least picked spec between sub and assa

#

But with ssr that's not a thing

jolly sierra
#

tbh i like solo shuffle

#

more than regular arena

proven kayak
#

Same

jolly sierra
#

to be an experiment, is going well tho

proven kayak
#

Trying to find the noon boosted healer or mage was too much effort

edgy onyx
#

can anyone send me a code for assassin solo shuffle?

#

or is that pinned one still good

jolly sierra
#

agree, 2s was literal the glad boost bracket and 3s is just dead

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

and now we have gatekeepers

#

so fuck it, i just play shuffle now

edgy onyx
#

i likeshuffle but i literally die waiting in que so ive only played like 40 rounds in like a month and a half

#

adhd be like

#

NO WAIT PLAY NOW

vocal surge
#

I find it funny how people in the forum wants solo shuffle to die out

proven kayak
vocal surge
#

When it has the most inflation out of all the Rated brackets

#

Sure its zug zug city

jolly sierra
#

just 40? OOF

vocal surge
#

but I rather have that over waiting +2 days to maybe play 5 games

#

before the partner I find DCs for 1 loss

jolly sierra
#

is funny af than solo shuffle is being affected by artificial inflation

proven kayak
#

Same

jolly sierra
#

so u literal can sit for some weeks and get free mmr

proven kayak
#

Every boosted ape leaves after 1 loss even if it was his mistake

vocal surge
#

I had that healer

#

that was carried by Fury Warriors

jolly sierra
#

well, if u win against that ape in the 1st match u win the mmr

vocal surge
#

not press Shadow Word Death that could've won the game

#

so many times

jolly sierra
#

the problem is if u lose w him tho

vocal surge
#

after having the enemy outlaw team on their knees

proven kayak
#

Well your rating doesn't count if you got it as a holy priest at sl or as a dh in early df

jolly sierra
#

and they are the most toxic ironically

vocal surge
#

Aye

jolly sierra
#

the fkn healers

#

saying U FKN BAD HOW TF U DONT POSITION URSELF

proven kayak
#

Healers are most toxic players I played this week and flamed me round 1 and won all 5 after

jolly sierra
#

GG BAD TEAM

#

yeah is hilarious

#

just blaming everyone but them

proven kayak
#

He literally said nice damage while I was sub in a lobby with frost mage ele destro and boomie

edgy onyx
#

i got into a lobby and immediately someone goes "this rogue looks iffy" lol

proven kayak
#

People are just dumb and they only want easy rating

#

Like it matters if you get rating of passing 3 buttons

#

Most of ppl are mad cus more people can link achievements now from pvp

#

And they lost the boosted privilege

jolly sierra
#

one of the priest in my shuffle rounds was amused cuz i was using gouge to troll the healing

wicked rampart
jolly sierra
#

not complained for my dmg, which was shit cuz i was going between healer and dotting dps

#

the other dps did the job lol

worldly girder
#

I read all the shuffle hate messages and don't respond to them, I stare at my monitor like the frontal pepe stare emote

jolly sierra
#

that is the good point about shiffle

#

shuffle, no boosters

worldly girder
#

Sometimes getting shit on in chat is a good learning experience tho. Had a glad mw yell at me cuz I wasnt walling early enough on my lock. I'd pop it at 60% after I lost so much hp

jolly sierra
#

we need more comments like this instead flaming the dps

worldly girder
#

Those moments feel good too hahaha

jolly sierra
#

yeah, shit happens

#

but sometimes is not that constructive tbh xd

#

im watching ptr rog talent tree

#

literal intact for 10.1 for now

#

the only big change is dagger in the dark

#

the real question is

now we have crafted items pvp scaled for that patch, which stuff will be bis?

#

a crafted ring?

edgy onyx
#

i join a 2s listed for pushing 1.8k and the dude is these stats and when i ask if he can disc instead of shadow so i can play comfier but im fine with shadow he just logs off instead LOL

#

how do i find someone to push rating, the only people playing are these 39% winrate people 😦

jolly sierra
#

just go shuffle

#

2s is dead

edgy onyx
#

the raid boss is too strong for me to handle

#

10-20 min ques

#

and nothing to do while i wait :<

jolly sierra
#

F

#

try farming plants tho

edgy onyx
#

herbalism?

#

i guess that works my alt is an alch i just havent done profs on this toon yet

jolly sierra
#

and mining if u can

#

so u can get gold

#

while u wait

#

oh look

worldly girder
#

Just realized they didn't touch cheap shot or gouge

tribal bay
#

exactly

worldly girder
#

Might be a net postivie for sub

tribal bay
#

yes

#

some crit damage shaved off secret technique

#

not a big deal.

worldly girder
#

Can actually fit a global between 2nd and 3rd cheap

tribal bay
#

yup

worldly girder
#

If they buff agi from the trinket bonus, we might be chilling if we can get chunk evis again

jolly sierra
#

and is an indirect buff

#

to cs

#

and gouge

#

cuz u won't have cc reduction anymore

worldly girder
#

Even without tech I feel like dance windows are spicy with shadow strikes and evis

#

I'm getting hyped, let's hope blizz doesn't Nerf gouge and cheap

#

Also hope they nerf hardiness cuz everyone's gonna go bakc to orc I think

jolly sierra
#

imo they should compensate the set bonus with a dmg reduction instead

tribal bay
jaunty mirage
#

gouge is gonna be a big cc now similar to like wrath

tribal bay
#

it doesnt even need to crit to do big damage

worldly girder
#

I think that's what the stam bonus is for. Which I prefer cuz healers can't Insta top outta nowhere and gives larger windows for execute mechanics

#

I love gouge, pre ordered DF right away when I saw it on the tree during beta hahaha

jolly sierra
#

get used to gouge guys

worldly girder
#

I was already playing it on sin cuz it felt gross playing without it

jolly sierra
#

i love it

#

u troll a lot w that

worldly girder
#

Yeha exactly lol

jolly sierra
#

shadowstep jumping, turning 180 degree and gouge healer like in vanilla when u don't have blind

worldly girder
#

Getting a win from a cheeky micro always feels so good

jolly sierra
#

i get free wins w that too

#

if i need more seconds i use racial

tribal bay
#

way too useful to not take as any spec

jolly sierra
#

underrated talent

#

but btw that is the method to micro cc w gouge

#

cuz it requires to go in front to use

graceful ravine
#

cc nerf with Crit nerf means dampen meta where teams win on mana

#

Kick nerfed and every caster gets precog

#

Destro/rDruid/X will be toxic

jolly sierra
#

sounds amazing for assa or aff tho

#

if we get back for damp meta

graceful ravine
#

no way assa will be good for s2

#

Blizz won’t allow it

jolly sierra
#

maybe they won't notice

#

at start

#

but

graceful ravine
#

Last 2 awc seasons full of rogues

#

They won’t allow a 3rd

jolly sierra
#

isn't destro affected by crit reduction too?

graceful ravine
#

Ppl complain too much

jolly sierra
#

that will happen, ppl hate us

graceful ravine
#

yea but caster cleaves with locks is really good in dampening

vocal surge
#

I honestly would say Sub or Sin are gonna be meta again lol

#

is there any set bonuses announced?

jolly sierra
#

sub dunno w cc reductions

#

and crit

#

but assa will shine if they doesn't do anything

vocal surge
#

rn Outlaw is gonna be in a worse spot lol

jolly sierra
#

well, almost always is the meme spec xd

vocal surge
#

even with our S3/4 stats (+30% crit and vers w. +15% haste), it just doesn't do damage

#

It has potential which is the sad part lol

#

Just gets cucked by its PvE buffs and nerfs

jolly sierra
#

maybe will get ninja buffs

sharp sierra
#

funny people on reddit saying oh dont worry they'll buff those hit hardest with cc nerfs with damage to compensate lol not likely when they're aiming for lower burst meta

#

i have no idea how theyre going to compensate rogues for this

vocal surge
#

^

sharp sierra
#

not sure if anyone watched pika's stream

#

feels like he wants to quit but doesn't want to say

#

dude's been playing rogue since beginning

graceful ravine
#

This is his life, he ain’t gonna quit lmao

jolly sierra
#

what did pikaboo said?

vocal surge
#

^

sharp sierra
#

he's not happy about it at all but was speechless

#

literally kept say i have no idea how to respond to these changes

#

nahj didn't take it well either lol

jolly sierra
#

bad sign then

graceful ravine
#

Nahj doesn’t take anything we’ll

sharp sierra
#

pika spent half his stream just starring at his character screen

jolly sierra
#

bruh

graceful ravine
#

Rogues could get 50% buff and nahj still says it sucks

sharp sierra
#

did you read his post in the forums?

jolly sierra
#

like this?

graceful ravine
#

Link it

vocal surge
#

link the stream

sharp sierra
#
World of Warcraft Forums

CC is already not impactful enough and these changes double down on this PvE in PvP playstyle that plagues the game right now and lowers even more than what -15% bonus was lowering. I’d much rather see tuning around removing the third DR and have it just be full/half/immune or tuning the knob on making drs reset at 20sec rather than 18 or both...

#

that's nahj's reply

#

he does have valid points tbh

waxen meteor
#

damn opened the day with 0-6

jolly sierra
waxen meteor
#

well i think i play not bad but just 0-6

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

plenty of cc, and no death

graceful ravine
#

His post is good

waxen meteor
#

and also good dmg even

graceful ravine
#

Mainly referring to his general demeanor

potent pivot
#

yeah i feel you

jolly sierra
#

try again, you are not done yet

potent pivot
#

but at least he puts that into positive energy, or at least productiveness

jolly sierra
#

i was in streak and took that literal as "go to sleep for today lol"

#

like a punish

potent pivot
#

he doesn't just doom and gloom and shit post Skull

jolly sierra
#

at least didn't whined like cdew

#

the real question is, will he be heard as R1 by blizz?

vocal surge
#

Prob not

jolly sierra
#

cuz seems like the company is hearing noobs instead

graceful ravine
#

Can blizz hear noobs and put mount in shuffles!?

harsh steppe
#

how bad are these nerfs, really though? my dream has always been to one day hit 3k on a toon, even if it takes years… are there even going to be 3k subs if all these nerfs go through? is everyone overreacting or are we all really that fucked?

jolly sierra
#

we need to buy the noobs

#

to make them talk lol

potent pivot
#

when the game first came out blind was like twice as long as this.

waxen meteor
#

well the game should listen to both middle class and r1s

vocal surge
#

Blizzard should be listening to both the noob and pro community (1:1), just looking at what is causing problems in the lower brackets

waxen meteor
#

listen to noobs is dumb

#

but r1 players are still too rare in term of populations

vocal surge
#

Because if they listen to the noob community too much, it'll be really pepega balancing

waxen meteor
#

and the gap with normal players is too big to understand game in same level

vocal surge
#

and if they listen to the pro players too much, the skill gap is going to be too big

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

It's the middle class and r1s

vocal surge
#

GTFO had this problem and I dont want this issue to happen in WoW

waxen meteor
#

filter out noobs that exist everywhere on internet

#

they think they are important but they are not

#

arena doesn't serve only for top 0.5% players

jolly sierra
#

noobs are way too unrealistic

waxen meteor
#

but if you are too bad to play, the balance won't matter for you as well

#

yeah noobs should be ignored

jolly sierra
#

cuz they are just watching the top of the iceberg

#

in rating

#

now blizz seems to turn into a most ppl pleaser

#

literal take mass reports as bans

dull bridge
#

noobs only opinion is parroting shit they hear from their favorite streamer

jolly sierra
#

or common 90% no serious stuff as relevant

waxen meteor
#

please more people isn't wrong.

#

but you need to guide noob to play better, not adapt game to noobs

jolly sierra
#

the question is what are they pleasing

waxen meteor
#

and you need to listen to majority of mid class for better exp.

jolly sierra
#

cuz ccs is what makes pvp complex

waxen meteor
#

and you listen to top players for ultimate design

jolly sierra
#

if they whine about that instead adapting

#

then we are doomed

dull bridge
#

wow is really bad at this

jolly sierra
#

yeah, hear mid class, like hardstuck1k6 ppl

#

they played enough

#

to have their word

#

but the 250 cr w 300 matches done won't tell you any serious

#

cuz they are not realizing anything

#

and yeah, they exist

#

not for being elitist, but how u said, hearing 100% the noobs will ruin future pvp

#

sadly they are the most community rn xd

waxen meteor
#

it's for everything

#

on this planet

#

filter out the voices that don't matter

tribal bay
waxen meteor
#

like you cannot discuss how universe works with primary school student

jolly sierra
#

what if those kids said is way too complex and they straight remove it from books?

tribal bay
sharp sierra
#

what blows my mind is 2 things:

  1. why is blind 2 minutes still if 5 sec only
  2. why would you waste a CP on kidney for 5 secs when CS is wayy better now
tribal bay
#

watch lontars stream one night

#

when hes trying to heal

jolly sierra
#

relax leaf, those are the 1st wave of changes

waxen meteor
#

is this some news i missed

tribal bay
#

and hes just getting chained by every CC in the game on separate DRs

sharp sierra
#

yea

waxen meteor
#

they are going to make blind 5s and kidney 5s?

jolly sierra
#

maybe cd will be reduced too if it stays

sharp sierra
#

yep

tribal bay
#

its on the 10.1 PTR now

waxen meteor
tribal bay
#

but i dont think 5 second blind will stay

sharp sierra
#

pretty much

waxen meteor
#

if it happens i quit

tribal bay
#

it will get increased to 6 i think

jolly sierra
#

dude that is the reason we are discussing here lol

sharp sierra
#

tarny: already unsubbed

waxen meteor
#

no joke

sharp sierra
#

lol

tribal bay
#

they nerfed every CC in the game @waxen meteor

uneven grove
tribal bay
#

go on wowhead and read

waxen meteor
potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

Just jump, and shoot when others fall on the ground

jolly sierra
#

cdew deleting rogues

tribal bay
waxen meteor
tribal bay
#

none of the content creators do

jolly sierra
tribal bay
worldly girder
#

Just realized that these changes are an indirect buff to pandaren

tribal bay
#

with their racial?

#

their racial sucks

jolly sierra
#

cmon rich boy buy noobs opinion and make them say constructive stuff

worldly girder
#

Yeah

tribal bay
#

i still dont think its going to be good

uneven grove
#

i have to go pandaren on my monk, it's way to classy anyway

tribal bay
#

the way the PTR is right now

waxen meteor
#

wow if they want to change it to 5s blind and 5s kid

tribal bay
#

if you arent orc

worldly girder
#

Maybe not for rogue cuz of gouge plus nelf is op

waxen meteor
#

what's the purpose of having pvp

jolly sierra
#

u have free versa food for rated

waxen meteor
#

just do more zug zug

worldly girder
#

But it might be solid for some other classes

jolly sierra
#

and a gouge which cleans everything and works from back

tribal bay
#

it wont stay 5 seconds

#

thats ridiculous

worldly girder
#

Blind into gouge into kidney is still gonna be a solid 14s of cc

tribal bay
#

if mage gets 6 second poly and 6 second ring of frost

worldly girder
#

I still think it should be 6s at least for sub

#

I was surprised too to see it that low

tribal bay
#

we get 6 second blind and 6 second sap

worldly girder
#

It's the same duration as monk para now lmao

tribal bay
#

which is on a 20 second CD

#

with talent

worldly girder
#

Yeah

jolly sierra
#

guy what about us infiltrating in forums as noobs and complain to fix everything lol

tribal bay
#

play PTR

#

and post on PTR forum

potent pivot
worldly girder
#

Just don't post from a rogue character, forums have a bit of a bias against them hahaha

jolly sierra
#

agree, i need to post as a warrior

worldly girder
#

Or mage, they know we're all in cahoots

potent pivot
#

the more complaints they see that are thoroughly worded and well thought out, the better our chances that the changes are edited or not made

sharp sierra
#

I said it once and i'll say it again. The devs can't be this dumb. they are purposely sabotaging pvp out of the game. its pve or gtfo

worldly girder
#

Yeha post as a gigazug class like warr or sham or something

jolly sierra
#

holinka is dumb af

sharp sierra
#

lol

tribal bay
#

they're trying to make it more accessible to noobs

jolly sierra
#

since a lot of time ppl asked to fire him, dissapeared

#

then reappeared

tribal bay
#

so people keep playing the game

sharp sierra
#

by making it zugzug?

jolly sierra
#

and is w this

tribal bay
#

yes

sharp sierra
#

thats just dumb

worldly girder
#

Stupid sexy holinka with his big muscles

tribal bay
#

its not dumb its a business move

#

the more accessible it is to the average person the longer someone stays subbed

worldly girder
#

I do agree that some of the changes aren't bad tbh, cheap and gouge are technically buffed from these changes

jolly sierra
#

here ur responsible

tribal bay
#

if you're shit at wow arena and getting chained CC'd you just stop paying to play the game

worldly girder
#

Blind is jsut too low for its cd. If they make it 90s it'd be fine though

tribal bay
#

make it 45 seconds

#

not 90

jolly sierra
#

if u are playing classic and whining about cc chains in retail then u didn't got it

worldly girder
#

For 5s duration I don't even disagree

#

2min for a 5s cd is demented

#

Cc*

tribal bay
#

one thing im surprised about

worldly girder
#

Always healers that stand in the middle of the lap map eating cc for free that complain

tribal bay
#

is the kick duration was given to PvE players as well

#

idk if any of you have done much m+ this season

#

but you literally need that duration

#

because of how overtuned everything is spamming 1000 spells at once

worldly girder
#

Pve mob spells don't have an icd when kicked?

jolly sierra
#

does kick matter? i thought after that npc instacasts again

tribal bay
#

they dont?>

worldly girder
#

I thought mobs stop trying to cast the spell if they get kicked for a bit

tribal bay
#

i thought it was the same as a player

jolly sierra
#

some are stubborn

tribal bay
#

they get spell locked

jolly sierra
#

and casts again

tribal bay
#

maybe they dont im not sure

worldly girder
#

That's what the post said, they said there's an internal timer

#

But some spells keep going

#

I think they said they'll monitor it

sharp sierra
#

i miss ghostcrawler

#

😦

#

legacy players will remember that name

#

used to hate on him so much but he was prob the best dev since then

jolly sierra
#

he left riot already

vocal surge
#

Best game designer

tribal bay
#

they need to fix thiefs bargain too

sharp sierra
#

^

vocal surge
#

Also

#

can we talk about how rogue hasn't received really good pvp talent changes

jolly sierra
#

veil of midnight too

#

or control is king

vocal surge
#

Is Control is King bugged?

worldly girder
#

Big PvP talent revamp soon, hopefully they fix some of these rogue talents

jolly sierra
#

no, but is shitty

vocal surge
#

Fair

dull bridge
#

hasn't nightstalker been bugged for the longest time

tribal bay
#

thiefs bargain would be sick if it worked

#

yes

#

it has

jolly sierra
#

think about wound poison resetting

dull bridge
#

they removed bunch of pvp talents

vocal surge
#

For me, I find these pvp talents underwhelming for Outlaw
Veil of Midnight
Drink Up Me Hearties
Thick as Thieves
Take your Cut
Boarding Party
Death from Above

dull bridge
#

most likely new ones are coming

#

drink is pretty good actually

tribal bay
#

death from above sucks for all the specs

#

pshero plays it sometimes tho

#

idk why

dull bridge
#

DFA is just a meme

jolly sierra
#

death from above is funny

#

and can works well sometimes

vocal surge
#

I used to use DFA in SLs

#

in the 1950s bracket

jolly sierra
#

it bypasses cc

dull bridge
#

you can use it to immune stuff if you time it right

tribal bay
#

yeah true

dull bridge
#

and a bit of added mobility

vocal surge
#

but it does so little damage rn that its not worth swapping out for something like Disarm or Maneuverability

dull bridge
#

but not really worth it

waxen meteor
#

ok got a 4-1

potent pivot
#

dfa is fun to mess around with tbh

waxen meteor
#

with one tie

#

fuck those tie games in solo

potent pivot
#

it has been quite good in the past

waxen meteor
#

so bad

jolly sierra
#

and a 10% more dmg from a blue combo is just 10/10 would cum

waxen meteor
#

and how is possible i run into 4 glad mounts in 2 solos today

jolly sierra
#

u hit lottery

vocal surge
#

Veil of Midnight is so bad, the buff expires before the enemy reacts

dull bridge
#

thick as thieves is also really good imo

waxen meteor
#

some with the r1 title even!!

vocal surge
#

and even if they did react, classes like Monk or Warrior can bypass it

#

with their stuns

jolly sierra
#

2s is not enough

vocal surge
#

Thick as Thieves also feels unrewarding to play ironically lol

jolly sierra
#

if will be that short then just make it work in back

vocal surge
#

Should also affect you at least

#

Sure its a free press a button walk away key

waxen meteor
#

OMEGAKEKW so thursday becomes a bad day to play as well

vocal surge
#

but if your playing with a healer, no real reason to use it

waxen meteor
#

man i got a round, both teammates pulled out the same glad mount

#

i was like

#

wtf

#

exact same one

#

fuck

dull bridge
#

veil is horrendous
take your cut and control are on the brink of being ok
boarding party is a fun concept but MS isn't really worth talenting for

jolly sierra
#

happens to me too

vocal surge
#

Boarding Party for is me extremely niche and situational

jolly sierra
#

and u are like "look at my pretty matching mount lol"

vocal surge
#

its only good to use next to wheelchair teammates

#

outside of that, its never really used

jolly sierra
#

nah at least we can agree most talents are shit

#

in pvp

#

and we are stuck in the common ones (manuv/disarm/smoke bomb)

vocal surge
#

Make Dismantle baseline pog?

#

We're just forced to use it vs melee

#

why not baseline it

jolly sierra
#

dunno

vocal surge
#

also yeesh

#

Sub rogue's pvp talents are bad lol

jolly sierra
#

at least they left decent dagger in the dark w the rework kek

potent pivot
#

don't think that base lining a purely pvp ability is worthwhile tbh

vocal surge
#

Yeah

potent pivot
#

every dismantle in the game is a pvp talent afaik

vocal surge
#

Dagger in the Dark rework is partially in

#

for Sin and Outlaw

jolly sierra
#

12% more dmg during 10s is very good tho

dull bridge
#

yeah it's too good to baseline

jolly sierra
#

then make manuv baseline

vocal surge
#

Yee

#

Dagger in the Dark for Sin and Law

tribal bay
#

and thiefs bargain would be skits if it worked

vocal surge
#

doesnt g et removed on the first ambush

#

but when the debuff expires

#

Yee

#

But in general, there doesn't seem to be good talents in Sub's tree

#

outside of the same ones

#

Shadowy Duel, Smoke Bomb, Dismantle, Maneuverability

waxen meteor
#

what?

jolly sierra
#

i say, pallies are getting unbound freedom in talents

#

so why not manuv?

waxen meteor
#

i think sub tree has many good ones

#

we don't have enough talent point is the problem..

waxen meteor
#

tbh just 2-3 more talent points, sub is king

tribal bay
#

yup

waxen meteor
#

imagine doing both ST and Rupture build

vocal surge
#

also while we're on talent points

tribal bay
#

and the left side of tree you sink so many points into utter garbage to get invigorating shadowdust

vocal surge
#

give us free shiv or blind lol

tribal bay
vocal surge
#

Arms Warrior gets both Defensive Stance and Battle Stance for free

tribal bay
#

you literally just do the pve talent build

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

we are untouched in that patch atm

#

maybe will get something soon

waxen meteor
#

single step no shield of vanish?

tribal bay
#

u get double step

#

no vanish shield

waxen meteor
#

pve build doesn't have double step, but anyway, you need to sacrifice a lot

tribal bay
#

and no step range

#

pve build takes improved shuriken storm

#

you just swap that for step

#

obv u use some common sense and dont copy the import string

#

but u can mostly copy the pve talent build with a few minor adjustments

waxen meteor
#

no i get you

#

but those talents are really important else where than dmg

tribal bay
#

i think step range should be baseline

#

or double step for sub

#

and we can put the point we usually put in double step for step range

waxen meteor
#

the thing is sub is just capped by talent point

#

just 2-3 points, you sort of get everything

tribal bay
#

yeah

#

its aids br

bro

#

in PvE as well

#

so fkn aids man

#

the whole left side of tree sucks

#

sinking so many points into symbols talents just to get to CDR

#

symbols isnt even that good

potent pivot
#

the entire point of talent trees is to make meaningful decisions, not get everything

#

you give up survivability or utility for damage, or vise versa, etc

waxen meteor
#

but sub is so close to get it

#

tbh even 1 point

tribal bay
#

sub needs 1 point

#

so you can take gloomblade without sacrificing anything

#

then it would feel really good

potent pivot
#

i think they mentioned giving everyone an extra point at some point in DF

#

but i could be completely hallucinating that memory idk

jolly sierra
#

give us that in general tree REEEEEEEEEEEEE

vocal surge
#

Think Flagellation is good for sub rogues?

green is prob lfr and silver normal is my guess

they ain't fucking around with the art next patch

Yknow I thought about it

#

As weird as changes are

#

Cheapshot still being 4 seconds

#

Kinda sideways buff

#

Maybe I’m coping

graceful ravine
dull bridge
#

wasn't expecting this video at all

graceful ravine
#

i guess these changes would make healers better

#

and therefore shuffle queues shorter

#

ideally

#

if they could get it down to 1-2 minute queues.... would be sick

#

im ready to reroll the highest pve spec

#

cc useless, just zug zug

#

with everybody having precog and kick being 3 secs, literally not worth to step kick ever

#

this looks like a solo shuffle mount right?

#

armor very similar to s1 glad mount

#

but on a smaller dragon

jolly sierra
#

looks like a glad mount unless they are recoloring like in SL

waxen meteor
#

zug zug

#

ret it is

jolly sierra
#

me paladin

#

me blast

dull bridge
#

wow players gonna whine

#

nothing new

graceful ravine
#

also they wouldnt use the same colors for s2 as s1

jolly sierra
#

then according to ur logic, that will be the vicious mount tho

graceful ravine
#

the model is one of the smaller dragons

#

they wouldnt put gladiator on that

jolly sierra
#

looks like an otter

#

merged w a dragon lol

stable urchin
#

Orc master race again?

stable urchin
#

Also cheap shot duration remains the same?

minor cape
#

yes

#

still dont like those changes at all

#

but as mentioned, cheap is getting buffed which is kinda cool

#

passively buffed

stable urchin
#

Yeah finally we can do good cheap shot dance goes

#

Before everyone goes orc

minor cape
#

well honestly this stuff

#

is not that bad

#

i mean we also get reduced stuns on ourselves which for rogue is pretty bjg i think

#

i just hate that all this stuff makes game more zug zug and less based on cc which is horrible for sub and i dont want to play any other class

boreal vessel
#

The meta shift to more zug zug is idiotic

worldly girder
#

is the ability to get the 2400 elite weapons account wide?

#

like if i get elite on my rogue, can i buiy the 2H axe on my warrior?

stable urchin
#

Also crit nerf kinda bad for sec tech

nova viper
#

Well

#

Assa is only good choose on pvp now?

velvet wagon

PvP discord saying rogue has highest throughput of any melee dps

#

I actually cannot talk to these mouth breathers

if not then they are fucking insnae

minor cape
velvet wagon

And they say it's highest throughput melee dps

minor cape

even assas rogue is not it's bullshit

nova viper

But i wanna Play rouge kitkesad

minor cape
#

what even is highest throughput

#

dh with his fluff or wha

#

xd

velvet wagon
#

Probably feral/fury/dh

minor cape
#

true

#

basically warrior and dh and druid if it doesn't get killed faster

#

but not in any way rogue

harsh steppe
#

so i know the guide says to get two crimson rings or a crimson & the titanic, but looking at the top 4 subs, 2 of them use 2 conqs & 2 of them use conq & honor mastery rings... so i don't really have a confirmed answer... i think i want to get the titanic ring but that will take a long time, so should i stick with conq/honor mastery rings or go 2x conq?

minor cape
#

ye go for one conq mastery and one honor mastery

#

i tested 2x conq and its less damage

#

than mastery conq & mastery honor

harsh steppe
#

ok tysm! so all i need now is the DB wrist, waist, & titanic ring right? that it?

minor cape
#

yeah pretty much

#

but why you have 6 vault delvers

#

or its conq?

harsh steppe
#

i have 2 vault delvers for set, rest is conq

minor cape

oh oke

is sin going to be the only viable spec after changes?

naah

we still ok

harsh steppe

ok fewfty

sub still able to 1v2 after?

marble oasis
# minor cape

loving how blind a 2 min CD is having a 40% nerf and no one except rogue see this. just discard it with an "oh well they got extra nerf moving on" >.<

wintry dew
#

Wondering what you mean with the 1v2 thing xD

harsh steppe
#

well rogue besides hunter is the only class i've seen able to occasionally 1v2 in arena
sometimes pally too tho

wintry dew
#

In 1500 rating maybe

minor cape
#

let us low rated players live 🫡

wintry dew
#

Because the whole 1v2 thing isn't really... How do I explain it ..

harsh steppe
#

ah ok yah i've never gone more than 1800

minor cape
#

me too

#

im like 1700-1800

#

1v2 is a nice bonus

#

in 2s

#

i did win some 2s through a blind sap

#

xd

#

1v2

harsh steppe
#

ahaha

wintry dew
#

Same, I'm a 1.8/1.9 player in 2s, 2.1/2.2 shuffle, and i rarely see the 1v2 happening successfully

minor cape
#

im like super low rated in 2s so makes sense

#

1300 or smth

#

never managed to get that double dps to work 😦

bold bison
#

There are too many proposed sweeping changes that impact Rogue significantly compared to other classes. Rogue class design has always been: high control, setup based kills, high skillcap but extremely vulnerable if cooldowns are traded poorly. Our stun/kick lockout/CC chain potential has always been the longest because without those particular elements we’re just an extremely subpar melee class. If you tweak the meta to lower the skillcap and make setup gameplay massively inferior to melee and caster cleaves, you have to increase damage and survivability to make Rogues another melee zugzug W presser.

minor cape
#

yeah thats what i thought

#

if they nerf those stuns

#

they need to buff other things

wintry dew
#

Afaik from what I read above our only significant change will be the blind

minor cape
#

but effectively biggest nerf here is blind

#

ye

wintry dew
#

No more blind into sap

bold bison
#

There’s a reason most ‘skilled’ players dislike Assa, it’s a hybrid between Rogue gameplay and Warrior/DH/DK/WW. People were so mad at Assa this season because we had a nutty Mortal Strike, did unpeelable damage and we could still do stuff like Blind Sap

minor cape
#

like sap is 0.8 seconds less, kidney stays the same, cheap gets buffed, gouge gets buffed

#

what im concerned about

#

is that double dps in 2s that was shit before is now even more shit so i guess im not playing 2s without a disc priest anymore

bold bison
#

2s is deader than dead with this

#

It’s legit a bracket for the highest damage melee plus the meta healer

minor cape
#

true

#

you either play disc assas or something that might counter disc assas

#

and next patch will be the same

#

just not disc assas maybe

bold bison
#

Legit I think they will make Rogue/Mage dumpster specs for a couple of patch cycles to encourage participation

#

I can’t see this as anything other than an attack on RMP

minor cape
#

rmp in 3s and rm in 2s is literally the coolest pvp thing in this game

#

i hate how they nerf it

burnt kraken
#

Not even nerfed

minor cape
#

in favour of boring garbage

burnt kraken
#

They killed it

minor cape
bold bison
#

I thought Pika made some good points though, I can’t see this helping inexperienced players, theyre going to get smorced so hard by Turbo/TSG/Walking Dead. Then imagine a low rated player queuing into a triple precog MLD on a big map??

wintry dew
#

What's precog? I literally can't remember

bold bison
#

Theyll just get run down and die to piss between goes because their healer got overwhelmed

marble oasis
#

his biggest point about CC not being impactful has never been the truest thing ever.
It was the little shitty spam stuns that demo lock had that was the problem not resource requiring ones

wintry dew
#

Oh boy

marble oasis
#

PVP aoe spec here we come xD

#

max deeps

bold bison
#

It’s becoming an emebellishment so every caster/healer will have it

#

It’s so unbelievably easy to fake low rated players

harsh steppe
#

they said playtest though... so it's possible it may not go through right?

marble oasis
#

i don't trust blizzard. if there wasn't this level of shock/outrage they would bury it

bold bison
#

Its going to be like late WoTLK Wizard arenas when Bloodlust was useable

bold bison
marble oasis
#

so outlaw cleave meta inc ;p

bold bison
#

Like this shit is clearly a huge development philosophy shift for them, they’re not going to turn around and say ‘actually nah nvm lol’

plucky sage
#

Fuckin hell

#

No blind sap then wtf is sap for, a few seconds of no heals in the opener? Ugh

burnt kraken
#

Yeah blind and kick are the big L for rogue

#

We legit have to cs into blind to be able to sap of it? Just makes things even more micro cc friendly

vocal surge
#

I dont even think Outlaw's gonna make an appearance since crit damage got nerfed

#

and it relies on that crit damage a lot

spark egret
#

who let Holinka cook

tribal bay
#

now it has bad damage and no CC

vocal surge
#

yep

burnt kraken
bold bison
#

I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to sap off blind at all, last I checked casting blind counts as a combat action so it will be 6 seconds after you press it before combat drops and you can sap

burnt kraken
#

And too small window to kill

bold bison
#

There will be no blind sap at all

twin burrow
#

U guys know rogue kit been busted in pvp since vanilla. Times change. Game needs an overhaul. He who was first will one day be last, oh times they are a changing

tribal bay
#

why play a rogue then

#

lets all just play warriors and demon hunters

twin burrow
#

Cause your not a fotm Mets slave

tribal bay
#

how original and fun

twin burrow
#

Play rogue cause you enjoy it

tribal bay
#

no seriously tho

twin burrow
#

I'm serious

tribal bay
#

why the fuck would you grief so hard and play rogue?

twin burrow
#

Ok ur too invested emotionally

tribal bay
#

are you a masochist

vocal surge
#

Its just a unique spec that has its own form of play

#

that doesnt leave you falling asleep

twin burrow
#

Yup and looks cool. I made a rogue in 05 cause of the bandana lmao

vocal surge
#

the only other spec that is similar to rogue

#

would be ret pal

#

but thats it

bold bison
vocal surge
#

^

twin burrow
#

You still have the same kit

tribal bay
#

why would you play rogue

#

bro 5 second blind isnt the same kit

#

sapping in the open isnt the same kit

twin burrow
#

So don't play rogue you fairweathers

#

Have fun pressing 3 buttons

#

It's the same kit, literally

bold bison
#

You don’t have the same kit, blind sap is a win condition

twin burrow
#

U can't argue that

#

The tech may be different but same kit

tribal bay
#

rogue becomes a useless class without enough damage when you take away its CC

twin burrow
#

Sub is best melle in solo the most popular ladder

#

Jeez guys get a grip

vocal surge
bold bison
#

Lmao yeah the changes aren’t live

twin burrow
#

If the changes ruin the game then we can be pissed but we haven't tried

vocal surge
#

Btw does the ptr have gear sets available for testing or nah

tribal bay
#

i dont think so

#

i was trying to stuff around on my monk

#

but they might add some idk

bold bison
#

We don’t need to try dude, Blind/Sap is gone, Crit change means we can’t kill in a duel, we only have bomb now

#

Right now blind is rarely enough alone to kill, the sap is low key mandatory

twin burrow
#

The Meta right now doesn't even need blind sap and be honest how many games are u blind sapping

bold bison
#

Every game over 2 minutes

vocal surge
#

depends if my teammate breaks it or not

twin burrow
#

I've blind sapped 3-4 times on my elite run lol no gouge either. It's not a cc meta

bold bison
#

It’s a deliberate shift to cleave meta, setup is dead

#

They said they’re reducing CC to encourage participation

vocal surge
#

the best I can do is hope my teammate has enough damage to kill when I Kidney or Blind the healer

twin burrow
#

If the meta needed blind sap would they take it away ?

velvet wagon

You are putting the healer essentially 16s behind, or using trinket

Do you know how stupid you sound

twin burrow

What other class can do that ?

twin burrow

Nope

this is actually bait

vocal surge
#

then freezing trap again

velvet wagon
#

Assa isn't nuking people in those 16s lol

#

And neither is sub

#

Sub is legit zdps after 2 goes

#

If you don't kill in 2 goes you may as well FF

twin burrow
#

Yet it's the best spec in solo atm

bold bison
#

I’m not even saying Rogue is dead,
I’m saying it’s dead without a pretty significant improvement to throughput

velvet wagon
#

Correct

#

I would personally be fine with 6s blind

#

5 is too much

#

And make kick 4s not 3

tribal bay
#

5 is fukn fried

#

yeah 4s

twin burrow

Games changing

velvet wagon

This spec is dog water if they go ahead with these changes

tribal bay

and take feint off the gcd

I think these changes overall may feel better , at least I hope. Casters seem to be busted

isnt the meta dominated by casters outside of solo shuffle?

its gonna be cringe af

What are they

My friend was like bro how they nerf kick so hard not counter spell I'm like Brody you don't cast spells lmao u don't have that crux

velvet wagon
#

Nerfing kick to 3s is trolling

twin burrow
#

Really not though

velvet wagon
#

From 5s to 3

twin burrow
#

At least when all classes get hit with it

tawny kestrel
#

every other kick has been 3 seconds for ages basically

#

every 15 sec cd kick is 3 sec

#

so its fair

#

hunter kick is 3 seconds and its 24 sec cd

#

so

velvet wagon
#

Because it's ranged lok

#

Lol?

tawny kestrel
#

mage and lock kick is 6 seconds

#

24 sec cd

velvet wagon
#

Most rogues are investing step with their kick

twin burrow

Kick into gouge into ks prolly really fun to die against

tawny kestrel

thats a choice tho

#

at least u have the choice to

other melee dont

Does set bonus matter in pvp? Do we try to keep tier pieces instead of pvp gear?

bold bison
hard raft
#

Great, thanks

vocal surge
#

Outlaw is big

#

Its just that we dont do damage. So the gains from the set bonus offsets the nerf to the bug for Ambush's damage being higher during stealth

#

also 2p depends on how many combo pointa you spend

#

8%/16%/24%/32%/40%/48%/56%

sour coral
#

why does the alliance seem to be more active in warmode on like every server despite horde outnumbering in alot of things it makes no sense

#

yes i know its not an offical pvp format but like its fun lol

bold bison
#

I think it’s just a leftover pattern of behaviour from when the war mode incentives were giga good for alliance.

plucky sage
tribal badger
#

at least from the way i understand it

#

warmode shards try to balance the number of horde/ally players

#

meaning whenever u zone into a new shard ur more likely to get placed into a shard where ur faction is outnumbered (because its trying to balance it out)

sour coral
#

that makes more sense because it feels like that

tribal badger
#

the issue is many players when they enter a shard where the other faction is steamrolling them just turn wmode off/jump shards via lfg

#

so ur constantly draining off the players trying to balance the shard

#

i play several toons on both factions and both sides say this exact thing (y is it that horde r always in groups in warmode/y is it alliance always have 20 people in a group in warmode)

#

i dont think its really one faction does it more then the other

sour coral
#

its certainly annoying when youre trying to get chests and its swarmed 5v1 lol

#

ah well is life

#

those warmode crates are pure dopamine rush when you snag it though

tribal badger
#

im so glad they brought them back honestly

#

bfa had such good wpvp

sour coral
tribal badger
#

the days of mob vs mob in nazj still live in my heart

#

I remember first earning my slayer of the alliance title early on in bfa lul ppl didnt really know how warmode rewards worked yet

#

id gotten marked as an assassin and shipped back to zuldazar

#

the alliance formed a raid to try to climb the docks and murder me, the horde formed a raid (without me in it) to protect me

#

fight probably lasted 45m

#

and i just parkoured around the docks until i got my 10 kills for the title

#

I miss wpvp like that

sour coral
#

yeah its half the reason i play tbh

#

like dont get me wrong organized stuff is fine and dandy but when you are running around the world and you see someone messing with a lowbie or admitted guilty pleasure someone is attempting to solo something they shouldnt.. the adggers come out

sly tangle
#

Can you guys teach me how people get ilvl 421 Drakebreaker set please?

tribal badger
#

buy the 408 stuff

#

upgrade it using the weekly sparks quest currency

#

or w/e the currency is called

#

one of the pvp area weeklies it to collect 100 resource from a zone in warmode

#

the reward is 8 currency (i dont remember the name)

#

that currency is used to upgrade the 408 drakebreaker to 421

#

used to be on a vendor but now you just use the same upgrade npc that honor/valor gear uses

sour coral
#

ah so the lowbie sub 70 stuff cant be upgraded to 421? good to know

tribal badger
#

dont believe so

Trophy of strife I believe is the currency name
