is sap capping still a major thing in rbgs? i thought every team worth half a chopstick sat specs u couldnt sapcap vs anyway on flags
or is this just a random bg thing we r talking about
I’ve seen people sit veng dhs
sure u either sit someone who can stop u when ccd (pet class) or u sit someone who can sit 40 yards away and still stop you by mobility or w/e
veng like to sit behind a wall
veng is good for the latter
So our class isnt gonna be fun to play anymore in 10.1 ?
They gonna make rogue a little bit more tanky since they taken away our only true defensive cc
?
It's the first ptr notes for a patch we will see months later
I wouldn't panic too much... yet
If these changes stay same our class is done for
🫡
Sad day to be a rogue main
People might quit
U mean pve?
No pvp u not seen new changes they making to cc n kicks
Better play dh than classic ngl
All classes got nerfed cc
But the rogues will feel it the most imo
And i dont want to play a different class tho i like the way rogue plays
I like being able to control the fight
sameee
Not by so much if you count in the 15% trinked bonus is getting removed
But blind is a brutal nerf
Thats how i win many games as sub
But they didnt reduce the secs on roots or snared tho
Not fear either xd
I wouldn't care if it was just 5 sec kidney nerf.
Kidney is barely nerfed, its 0.1 sec
Kidney usually used to score a kill tho
5.1 before (conting tricket bonus) 5.0 now
The only positive is supposedly they will change orc racial
We wont be able to kill anything soon cc over the heal with use a cd or something and top off people
think thats just a lot of hopium from people in here
not any actual input from blizzard about orc racial
historically they dont give much of af about racials being op in pvp
when they do it takes very long times for them to respond
No orc master race
Humens get a free trinket
Night elf is best rogue race since wotlk, fight me
but new devs new outlook on pvp clearly so who knows
I agree night elf is like master race for alot of classes shadow meld is so good
But im horde
You need some luck to meld consistently
Or skill
Idk if i see a storm bolt flying at me and i meld thats not luck just saying
Meld poly
I peaked at 2k doing 2s with SP in shadowlands prepatch, I do not posess skill
Meld fear infernal stun
U just got to be paying attention or Anticipate it
Sure some obvious things are easy to meld, but not a lot
Actually more than u think
Gone are the days of bloody maledict
Gone for good
I melded a kidney in skirmish once in my life
Good ol day of hardstack corruption trinket into 30s of cc 
But I wouldn't say meld is great to avoid kidney shots
If u track Dr
I'm failing to track enemy drs in soloq, getting old
That's even harder
I blinded a full dr healer recently cause he was spam cycloned and i was tunnel visioning
Still won though xD
Average soloq experience
i can't figure out how to track dr tbh
i have big debuffs, diminish, omnicc, omnicd, & idk where it is
gladius
i have gladius
Just use gladius and its next to the arena frames
so can i delete diminish then?
(And so i had to take a break from the cord 4 months, AFTER saying that there was no crying 💞🤣💞)
ok i just popped my kidney, i don't see it anywhere?
this is ui gore
No
Diminish is for ur own Dr
Gladius doesn't show ur own Dr as far as I know
Mby weakaura or tmw can do it too
yah that's what i need, i dont see my kidney dr anywhere
where is my diminish? i have it enabled
😕
There a addon called demish
yes, i have it
it's supposed to be to the right of their trinket
On curse
but i don't see a stun Dr in the screenshot
ik that's my problem lol
Either ur kidney get dodged or u don't have stun Dr enable
i just hit kidney on druid, you can see the kidney dr on the right side of gladius for him, but i can't see my own diminish
yes it's gladiusex
your own dr is a separate addon
yes i have it, but ig i need a different one
I would suggest not having your spells in the corner maybe 🙂
what spells
I just make a stun DR WA and stick it by my nameplate so I know when to line up disarms
can it track kidney sap etc
So how does everyone feel about 10.1 
My rogue may actually never see the light of day again 
honestly yeah, classes that just smash face
blade flurry does 0 dmg
outlaw never relied on big cc so they may have supremacy tbh
Let me cope 
so how can i track my own DRs?
on yourself?
yes
With diminish
I got an addon for that
diminish doesn't work
It work
Do you use any unique personal frames?
i just showed several screens that show it doesn't...?
Just enable Dr stuns on urself
i do
you tried 'toggle test mode' to see what is up?
it may not be appearing in the right place
next patch u can just ignore all drs
it pulls up my arena frames, which i don't use
Jesus christ you aren't asking about your own frames
your own drs
you mean drs on the targets?
but yours?
that doesn't exist
you said toggle test mode, that's what i did
idk anymore =/ thanks for trying to help though
There's no such thing as what you are asking for
It doesn't exist
Like, all dr is the same
there is no 'personal' dr
each target drs against ALL cc equally
why do i need diminish then
based on the 'type' of cc
So you know how long stuns that hit you will last
so you know how long stuns on target, pet target
So that DR tracker can appear above unitframes
nameplates***
yes
So that's it
On the right. Past the pvp trinket
You've got it
it's a part of gladiusex right
it can be
these are dr trackers on my own player frames
that is what 'player' is
it is the dr tracker on stuns that you receive
so the dr on my kidney in that pic you put up just now, only qualifies for that one enemy? i could get a full kidney on a different enemy?
yes
i thought it was universal, like kidney had it's own dr
nonono
while i have you guys looking at my ui, any suggestions on what i can improve?
6 tints, no pink, hope exists guys
Locks can keep all the pink
give them all the pink and give us the edgy black and red for pvp
if pvp is the red color
im fucking done
please don't force me to play this dogshit again

I mean it's not red is heroic
and purple is mythic
seems to be the color scheme for other classes but who knows
well there is no way those ppl are not AI generated
u say? mostly is something w red or black/brown
tbh there are still 2 tints missing for rog, hope is not fkn pink
Where’s your focus bar?
Yeah I'm only going off of other classes and besides its listed as a raid item in ptr
If you check the red ones
I agree with you it's most always been red for pvp
So what’s everyone going to do with twice as many globals in our cs sub goes?
Cs evis er sec Cs ss cs evis looks gross.
type on the forums complaining about blind sap nerf
its my partners job to kill the dude anyway
Assa is still A tier, Sub still sleeper S tier in the hands of great players
10.1 looking omega sketchy
What do you guys do in melee cleave solo shuffle lobbies as sub rogue?
Espec when theres fistweavers too
Go healer
As a rogue pvper these changes will kill my class. Rogue needs chain CCs to kill anything. I play assa and my bleeds/poisons don't do enough before I get mowed down be melee or self heal class. Dks just wreck me and I have to be playing against a bad warrior to actually win a 1v1 against them. I will reroll war, or maybe even ret, if these changes make it to live. Rogues will feel just so bad. Mortal strike is just too good to not play arms. Rogues shiv was already reduced too btw. Just a little better than mortal strike now. Our toolkit is being taken away lol

mucho texto
It’s good that they did the CC nerfs, but bad that they won’t buff warriors
i didn't have a focus there, but it's underneath my target bar
👻 👻 👻
I hate it 🙂
I m 2k ass rogue and I am hardstuck at 1.400 on Sub
wtf even
it feels like the universe is griefing me whenever I click on sub
last round I wasnt able to change talent due to a bug
different gameplay
yes I am aware
Ty!
Just realised relentless is gone in DF. Is being a human kinda useless now?
Was leveling my warrior who happens to be one
ahaha
So everyone back to orc again ? I will miss 10.0
I always have a backup orc rogue just in case but if games become snooze fest I will definitely stop play
Guys Xaryu looks like he is going to cry in his video about 10.1 😭
he made some good points but when it started it had the same tone as a #metoo apology video
I KNOW
That was my exact thought
I agree with him largely though
Even if I main FW, I don't enjoy full melee cleave metas
the only way Blizz can compensate for CC nerfs to rogue is to allow our backstabs/ambush to deal 60-80% of healthbars like back in Vanilla 🙂
and make "out of combat" happen after 3 seconds
behead holinka
you do realize, that when 'Crowd control' becomes relatively weaker, that also means that Orc Racial becomes less valuable, right?
ffs got a match w 2 warrs and a surv now REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Not stun lasts on target but knowing if you stun him again using the same type you wont get the full stun duration (i.e u cheap shot him 4 secs and u follow up with a full kidney, u wont get 6 secs instead ull just get 3 secnds of stun instead until DR resets bec its diminished.
yeah that's defaulted in gladius
I actually use a different addon, its called Diminish
both work :)
It gains value because prior every race had access to it through trinkets, now no race does
And relentless trinket is no longer in the game
So just orcs and mag'har have access to this
Mag'har only works on like...hex, though
Harder ambushes + backstab would be largely welcomed.
no it doesnt gain anything
I literally explained that it will lose value
now if other the other races lose even more value then congratz
@fierce laurel can you send me a non-gap opener for sub? with ER
Gnome meta is over everyone, time to uninstall
they lose value because they don't have the trinkets anymore...?
orc is the only race that is basically keeping that trinket bonus
Also, a lot of CC isn't getting nerfed
Cheap Shot, Leg Sweep
two great examples of things that are just 3 seconds instead of 4 for who? Orcs.
hello stop smartasshatting
I m nót reading 3 pages of change,ogs for 3 months in advance
all I said was orc will lose value
orc already has 0 value
it is gaining, because it currently has 0
20% is more than 0%
what is orc reduction
20%
right now
it does not stack with GS
so it will reduice blind by 1.6sec
no, stuns
if it did all CC
oh my
that'd be stupid
but blind is going to be fucking 5 seconds in 10.1
okay so it orc always reduces stuns by 20%
yes 
Oh no
You misunderstand
Currently it isn't doing anything
the orc racial has 0 value (Well technically 5%)
because of Gladiator's Distinction
that is hilarious
The racial is literally useless currently
okay I didnt know that
My point is that due to the removal of GS, it will be useFUL
👁️👁️
Oh god don't remind me of Nightborne
3 min cd on that 2 sec root

it is garbage
I wish they had "all magical effects 20% less duration"
I'd play the fuck out of that
but it'd be op

its okay they have the cool unique feature to summon a letterbox for the whole raid
:x
oh wait what is that, a toy that can do that?
me when nightborne racial in my inventory
I just went 1-5 in a 1300 lobby because people think it is a good idea to facetank UHD/feral and faceroll their keyboards

This whole reason is why I refuse to dps in solo shuffle
Its completely fucked, anyone who says differently is out of their ass
the low ranks are skewed massively to pve specs
I mean, would you call warr a pve spec?
maybe uhdk
pretty much yes
for reference I played outlaw for 6 years or so
and my warrior is 1600 after 2 weeks
all the orc racials btw hehe
XD
:x
Warrior is so smoothbrained
keep in mind blood fury is showing as 1 attack power/int because this is a level 1 toon
i went 2-4 at 2k cr today cuz i faced a surv and 2 warriors in the same lobby
I'll eat my socks if 5 second blind with 2 minute CD goes through
mfw monk para is almost same duration as blind
it will
and we will all cry
even 6 seconds is still sappable in some cases so they gotta make this a no-no
watch rogues just only play with evokers so we can have oppressive roar and still blind-sap
surv hunter getting a disarm in 10.1 too 
this thread will go REEEEEEEEEEEEE at 10.1 day one if all those changes won't revert at time
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
it will disarm primary target, then explode and be aoe on other targets after
sounds very good for shuffle
it will be very good
I don't get why they don't do what surv hunters want though
which is: a defensive
this is like pseudo-that
I guess
they're getting %8 Stam and Ros in the main tree which opens up a pvp talent slot
i mean we
it is interesting
i main SV hunter now 🙂
idk if ros being pvespeccable will even matter
with it what
being crit only
just make it work like old corpse shield
that'd be nice
tbh it will also be less value since crits are going down in potency
yeah
it just won't matter that much, like it already sometimes doesn't
sotf is too long cd too
yeah need 2 talent points just to make it usable
so is assa ass now?
will be good if doesn't get nerfed at 10.1
cuz is very likely to be a dampening meta
Will it not just be even more cleave?
no, the meta is favoring wizard lobbies with all those changes
specially precog one
either that or the CE mount
nvm it's not even a mount

apparently it's a boss
dungeon or raid boss or somethin
how so?
using a reskin of a mount as a boss
what is it a reskin of exactly
Looks like glad mount
i don't think that qualifies as a reskin exactly lol
plus mounts and bosses probably have to be programmed quite differently
prob same skeleton, which will likely just be enlarged in comparison, but the same is true with the 100 dragon mounts and like 20 dragon bosses in the game already
well, it isn't
based on what multiple people were saying this morning it's a boss of some sort
would love it if it was though
LOL
why is everyone is glad mount these days
doing alt arena
also glad mounts * 2
I blame to easy to do alt 🙂
pikaboo and carl are so drunk right now
lol
carl is talking shit about another streamer
haha love it
There are 2 versions of it, one with a saddle and one without, so possibly still a mount
for starting off on rogue pvp what spec should i play? sub or assas
Whats the best sub rogue build currently?
Might as well re roll lol
Reddit echo chamber and herd mind set. Best to just avoid forums and worldofpvp. Most of the time it’s just whining, weird flexing and nothing constructive
nah i was just sending stuff here because its hypers post 🫡
fax
you do realize be the only one who has reduction in stun is better thna having not at all even when the stun duration is reduced so they getting reduced aswell idk how come with such a thought process
Have you guys noticed
If you open out of stealth
Press dance
and immediately vanish after
The bonusbar:1 macro detects you not in stealth?
Maybe it has something to do with vanish not immediately putting you in the actual stealth. It happens a couple seconds later when vanish buff falls off.
Ya that might be right
See the Q? I can only backstab
So it stays that way
Even after I waited 10sec after vansih
So this is open from stealth>immediately dance>immediately vanish
What's the bonus bar macro anyway? Never used it
Bonus bar is like the new in stealth macor
But its for all types of stealth
sdance
vanish
stealth
subterfuge
I thought it's stance macro and they just merged all these together
I still remember the pain of setting binds for shadow dance on old wotlk client 😄
Ideally you want two separate binds for BS and SS.
Last time I played sub I had them both on one button (caused some annoyances sometimes, but not often). Now since ambush is often used outside stealth for both other specs, I changed my binds.
dammit @minor cape you caught me lol
legit kind of sad because i'm having so much fun on my rogue main, & it just sucks that these nerfs come right after i switch, i'll be having fun but then the nerfs keep coming to the back of my mind, or things i've heard like "rogue dead class" here & elsewhere
i'm glad i made the post tho, some brought up some good points, particularly the guy that listed all the things we still do have, so i'm going to keep maining rogue & stay off #wowtwt for a while lol
i knowwww but it's hard when you hear things like that lol
i'm definitely not a fotm or meta class player, but i'm not in the total carefree zone either, i'm kind of in the middle
I mean
Sure it COULD be that rogue has one horrible season
Although i'm not so sure about that
It happened in the past as well
But everytime a class as a whole is bad, blizzard does something
Even to Rogue
im sure rogue will be perfectly fine
just so turns out rogue players are in general some of the biggest doomsayers
ahaha you got that right, i mained hunter before this, & i thought they were bad, jesus 🤣
fax
Eh, for me it's not so much about whether rogue will be viable, I just dislike the dumbing down of the game by removing things like blind sap and going towards more of a PvE playstyle
Hope I'm wrong, but crit change plus less cc seems like it would lead to more double melee or double caster comps, and I hate both of those
Who knows though, not going to worry about it
Gimme my Shredder mog and I'm happy
wait and see how it feels
maybe its good, no1 can know until it comes out
not like blind sap is completely gone u can still play around it
just stun into blind into sap
works too
Wait, what did i miss?
10.1 changes, you must be living under a rock 🙂
😂
All i see is dagger in the dark, distract, and kick lasting 2 seconds less.
they are doing some talent reworks
and a lot of stuff will change
so we might just be better in some other thing
but yeah for now dagger in the dark and distract reworks feel like an insult
🥹
Yeah they don’t seem like much to me. The kick does suck. I can’t find the talent rework that everyone is mad about i guess. Can you link it if you know?
If they’re that bad thankfully i have the hero class they call a warlock fully glad geared and everything 😅
nah they basically cut every classes cc
but rogue gets extra cut
like kidney will be the same, cheap will be a bit longer, but blind will be 5 seconds instead of 6.8
which makes you unable to blind sap
and kick well you know
😦
Why does that ruin blind sap?
as long as we remain the cc stealth class i’m in
and we still have more ccs than any other class
Yeah all my arena wins come in form if MFD kidney healer then burst. So as long as kidney good i’m fine haha
because ppl don't leave combat in only 5s
Oh, honestly thought it was exactly 5
Feels more like 30 seconds when you’re waiting for a resealth and people are running at you 😂
Lol damn
but we can still sap off someone elses cc
But locks can still fear healer away and then amp+exhaustion them so they have no way to make it back to their dps in time
That shit is so OP i do it all the time on the lock
Yeah, locks are so good. They’re literally a hero class
I have a rogue lock war and priest to 70
And i play them in about that order.
Then i have just about every other class 30-50
yes, but still not as many as before
Besides shaman, never even logged onto one.
i want to make myself a destrolock i guess
Yeah, they’re crazy lol. Tank and high damage. Plus locks are probably the best soloers in the game.
Might level the ret too 😅 could have him 70 in like 2 days just insta q dungeons the whole time as prot heal
Can someone list all the dots that can bring us out of stealth after vanish and cloak of shadows buff wear off?
all dots
If you use cloak and you still see a dot on you after. It’ll bring you out of stealth if yours in it.
It’s not isolated to dd/dot; any dmg will unstealth you. That said it looks like they changed engineering backfires on that.
what’s the easiest way to tell i have dots on me? just memorizing all the dot debuff icons?
is drakebraker 4 set bonus worth it vs honor gear prior to getting conquest gear?
Is Sub 4set not worth using? I see alot of the top sub rogues not using ti
Could anyone please confirm for me how Deathmark works? Does the ability effect work on active bleeds or only newly applied bleeds? Thank you !
It’s dynamic, will affect previous bleeds, bleeds you apply during and when DM wears off all dublication ends; it doesn’t snapshot
You want to go all vers/mastery pieces, mastery being your best stat
Lmao, all lock specs getting buffed in 0.7
They definitely need more sta, flimsy they are
It only works in wpvp
HELP - Anyone know win condition for Solo Shuffle? I have the most rounds won (4 out of 6) among others and didn't win??
Lmao just about all their spells or demons are getting increased damage.
By winning you mean gaining rating?
what
drakebreaker doesn't work in arena. if you're freshly gearing get your set pieces by catalysing upgraded drakebreaker gear and spending your conq on main hand -> mastery ring -> big mastery pieces
It only works in world pvp I mean wpvp
sub rogue 4set only works in world pvp?
just curiousity why most people don't take gouge?
you are thinking of the wpvp set
tier works in arena/bg/rbg/solo shuffle
the drakebreaker gear set only works in world pvp
few reasons
- too many button
- if press it bad and you dr the wrong person, team mate get angry
its a good ability
assa or sub; sub I feel like you always take
gouge can be also be a desperate pseudo interrupt
especially in soloq, where everyone messes DRs anyway 😄
that's what I'm saying, op said tier set only works in wpvp which is false
whats the counterplay to feral besides race chaning to dwarf?
press kidney when he's not bear
is this shuffle
maybe someone more seasoned can answer but they don't have great control or great defense so setting up cc on the healer, not getting cleaved and just pve dpsing to force him off would be my answers
forcing him into bear if possible is nice
the one round against him we decided to target him he actually died
so i guess thats the strat
btw, does numbing have any effect on melees?
In soloshuffle
vs ww dh arms
What target order?
read spell description friend 🙂
slows attack speed
wow no way
i mean, I can bloody read it
but does it have any real effect on their dps?
or would the other poison reduce the damage more?
9% attack speed or 3.6% flat damage reduction
What do u guys do vs meleecleave lobbies?
I consistently climb when im in a lobby with 1-2 castesr
But full melee lobbies are 1-5 or 2-4 for me usually

I run away a lot
rq just wanna thank you all for being so nice & kind & supportive here, been in a bunch of discords and i can honestly say this is the most friendly wow class disc i’ve been in, thanks everyone you guys are awesome

Between kidney goes you need to take advantage of crippling and acrobatic strikes, it’s about doing maximum damage and maintaining dot uptime on both while not getting meleed. You can do stuff like shadowstepping around to their healer etc. also kite them away from your own healer while staying in line, makes you easier to heal
How tf do you deal with monks
it's insane how much dmg they do, while healing
Talking about mistweavers ^^
Ty!
I just have a hard time competing with their dmg as sub
I mean rupture does a lot but usually not enough 😉
the point is: stuns not as important -> stun reduction is not as important
but I didnt even know it currently does nothing with trinket set bonus and boots reduction 
and the thought process is fucking 5th grade maths what is there not to get
but I admit, there is a scenario where stuns become shorter AND more important at the same time so Orc might be op and we will all have so much fun playing max dampening full Orc lobbies every round
actually wrong again, if short stuns are important it will be a oneshot meta, even more fun!"
Oh you’re playing sub? Try vanish shield into them, use shiv to slow, shadow step around, you can even duel the healer as a defensive CD
you can swap veiltouched for cloaked in shadows, also run cheat death instead of elusiveness
HELP - Anyone know if conquest gear can use revival catalyst to turn into DrakeBreaker's set?
that's only for turning it into tier set
so doing world quest is the only way to get drakebreaker?
i don't know how to find these pvp world quests
you just go to the designated zone
and wpvp, do regular WQs and kill rares
look for trophies/sparks groups in LFG
there's usually one big spot that's kind of a war zone
What would you all think that instead of them nerfing cc due to burst windows and such they just gave every spec and i mean everyone an interrupt including healers who didnt have one and a disarm
I think that would allow all to have better control of burst windows
and make all abilities in the game the same yep
Lol
People dont realize that you cannot compensate a cc based class for these changes. If these go through, rogues are officially dead. There is legit zero reason to invite a rogue to anything pvp. Its just dead weight. The entire rogue population is going to quit or reroll.
Just my opinion but well see.

Everyone with interrupt and every caster with precog would be insane
ngl if they changed the rogue class design people would lose their shit
Every bad caster would die without doing any damage and every good caster would be perma CC immune bloodlusted gods of death
Thats the only thing i can think of @unborn portal blizzard cant be this dumb knowing how this can affect rogues as a class. Either they plan on redesigning the entire class is based around or removing them from the game. Theres no other options
tho tbf
in the notes themselves
they said "this is to play test rogues NOT being able to sap after blind"
bruh the s2 vicious mounts are snails xd
i use the bear usually in bgs
how tf u have a rooster
bro sometimes sub lobbys are very questionable
not wrong
kite out of faeline stomp then stun them a lot
(faeline stomp is the ground effect that is purple/sparkles that looks like a tree)

HELP - Anyone know how I find world pvp quests on map? I need bloody tokens bad but i don't see these quest givers?
2 are up each day, they are the world auests with the crossed swords
you also get bloody tokens just from doing wpvp
theres 2 really popular spots
some circle area in azure span (north-ish) cba to remember the name atm; you can get powerups or whatever, not a fan
and an island north of valdrakken
mainly when the pvp quest for the boss is there though
*blue cock
queue for 30 mins - play 3-3 - two of the losses is teammate dying 3 sec into the opener
fuck this game
im making healer alt for that reason
only problem with that is all the healclasses suck except priest, but then you are playing a priest
maybe shaman though 
yo where are the totem emotes or who is that "I was playing on my shaman the other day" guy emote
I DEMAND
pevoker is crazy good
Can you guys help me find pvp world quest please? I need bloody tokens bad
This my in game map
its in a valley near algetha
it should look like some swords crossed instead of a !
could be different zone atm
I flew near algetha but I don't find anything here
I am NA

there are no cross sword on my map
something like this
literally same map
wait is this your first 70
dont you have to unlock wpvp via story line
and quests n shit

I did this Extermination quest an hour ago, where can i find the next one?
u cant just continuously spam them
you get a bloody token even without the quest
you can just sit there and pvp
can form a group if you want to
actually if you form group I'll join u I need some on my alt lmao
I have warmode on, do you know when will the second pvp quest spawn?
theres 2 per day
unironically think sub might be broken in 10.1
since cheap shot isnt nerfed so u can now do actual cheap shot rotation
which is a massive buff
overall i think rogue is not gonna suffer the most from the change
what about crits?
that's what i want to hear
will suck a bit ofc but its not that massive
ah i see
being able to do cheap shot rotation will add more damage than the crit nerf takes away
the only real thing that changes is blind
obviously kidney is already 5.1 seconds
with 10% from trinket and 5% from crafted item
dont think rogue is gonna get fucked as much as people think
its the usual shit with rogue players
see something
instantly say its over unviable cant play
but imo is still a mistake to fuck up ccs just cuz new players doesn't react well to them xd
no1 can know anything until its live
what about testing in PTR?
not many people testing yet
well, the patch has still a plenty of time in test
they are more pending for ret tho
I don't see any meaningful PvP testing taking place on PTR tbh
They'll schedule a play the devs thing for a couple hours and that'll be that
It's hard to test PvP outside the live environment
fuck then dunno what we can do tbh
Test it out whenever they do schedule and provide feedback then, not much else
Unlike past expansions, they have been consistently making tuning changes and obviously want to improve PvP, if this doesn't work out, I fully believe they will adjust accordingly
Whats changing regarding Crit? I missed it
Crits are going back to 150% in PvP
Aha thanks
I can only get 1 socket per week... right???
Yes
phew
would have been cringe to lose a bunch of sockets coz I was too lazy to do research xd
Need to wait for future PTR patches to confirm, but the way it looks, I think we can save 3-4 sockets next season by making and socketing crafted gear during S1 and upgrading it to 450 in PvP in S2 using those new crafting reagents
Lets us get vers/mastery belt, bracers at max ilvl too
Just wait until they also have a disarm in 10.1 🙂
I've been playing my surv hunter, it's so fun
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
hope tomorrow if it takes one hour again at least doesn't match with a ww, a surv or a demo
Anyone know which dates I can pick great vault reward? is it monday only?
You get new items every Tuesday (Wednesday if EU iirc)
If you want to wait to pick a reward you can wait and pick it whenever
Vault rewards also stack so they will never be overwritten
are they doing well atm?
ik jellybeans does well with it but last time i was watching him he was saying how it's hard to fit into most comps in SS as surv
BM probably works with more 3s comps, but I'm just doing 2s and shuffle
htez u in here oce trash?
I would love for secret tech to get nerfed and we play old gameplay 
I dont like sec tec but its not going away prolly
but ya nerfs happen and everyone acts like sky is falling
evis doesnt do enough damage
to nerf tech
I think the most important thing to remember is the notes said "this is to playtest rogues not being able to sap after blind" its not saying 100% getting rid of it; its just unprecedented
ye
Im aware
just make blind deal 1 damage per second
it makes sense, homie has dust in his eyes
problem solved
I do not own king of the hill, if you're wondering what episode this is, its Season 6, Episode 2 - Soldier of Misfortune.
Oo didn't know that

what are the most important keybind/s to have near each other?
That's entirely up to you really. But I like grouping offensive CDs near each other
good idea
Like symbols and shadowblades are often pressed together so made them close to each other
where do you have cheap shot & shuriken storm bound?
Cheap shot is on spam ability in stealth
So backstab and cheap shot share one
I don't use shuriken storm
ohhh i think there is a slight lag delay when switching bars i believe, but i can put them near each other that's a good idea
what do you use to get energy?
Well you never need to press backstab during dance or stealth
So don't need it on stealth bar
Shadowstrike is 1 cheap shot/backstab is 2
I didn't know it gave energy thought it was a PvE thing and I play outlaw in pve
E is eviscerate q is rupture
3 is fan of knives, 4 is sectec
oh nice, mine are similar
what's your shift e & shift q?
Shift Q is shadowblades, shift e is symbols
So I can press shift q shift e together, and then easy to reach the rest of the rotation
tysm great tips
ooo i like that one a lot
what about crimson vial
That way I don't have to think about it too much
Alt+2
All defensives for me are alt something
Alt+ 123qe
Easy to reach
And hard to press by accident
tysm ❤️
Np
The only problem is
I put sap gouge on the same buttons. So in Stealth sap and out of stealth gouge. The problem is I can't gouge during dance, but it's not a major problem
the biggest issues im having atm is having dance on F & cheap shot on 1, since i need those together often it's hindering me a bit, but you gave me some great ideas
oh & shuriken storm is great for getting full cp very fast, but i have it on f1, so i need to move that somewhere close too i think
Yeah I mean, I should find a spot for storm I guess. But you only use it on 3 targets right?
My kidney is F
no you can use it on 2
I have cc in that sector so it's all easy to reach but also out of the way of rotation
Dance for me is shift 1
what's your focus cheap shot?
Then I can easily 1 for shadowstrike and 2 for cheap shot
oooo i like dance on your shift 1
Should be shift 2 but tbh I just tab target cheap shot
(should be* based on my focus logic)
yah i have focus cheap shot & like 6 other focus macro binds but tbh i only use focus kidney and focus dismantle atm
Yeah I have focus for kidney, blind, sap, gouge, and kick
And step
But all shift of their binds so easy to remember
lol yah fuck ctrl
Kek
my brain is a bit smol so i think i need to lower my focus macros & just use the really important ones
I spent a lot of time working through the logic of it, kept coming quitting and coming back to wow with old keybinds that just felt wonky
So sat and reworked everything into a logical process and multiclassing is now super easy, everyone has things that do similar shit on similar binds
yep i do the same
Bar a few exceptions but overall easy to setup a new alt
alts? what does that word mean? 🤣
Yeah well one thing I was told was to just bind what I can deal with and work the other stuff in later
good idea yah i need to do that
Hello,
What is the best spe for pvp (bg or 2v2) ?
Ty 🙂
For 2v2 don't bother if it's to play double dps
Sub is more fun for me in BG
But assa works fine
Outlaw is meh, damage just doesn't cut it most of the time
Thanks 🙏🏼 !
How come having full conq gear isn't as good as having full blue gear?
? it is much better, much better stats
the only blue piece you may want is the blue mastery ring, for more mastery
Assuming you meant combo points here?
oh woops! yep that's what i meant
i mean i know the skills that give energy, just wasn't sure what he used specifically to get a lot of cp fast, since he said he doesn't use shuriken storm
Cool cool, just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out on energy 😛
I see people in SS with 1.4K+ smashing the dps in blue gear
more than I see people in conq gear doing
it's shit

As a sub in wpvp I struggle against hunters with pets… how do you deal with them?
is solo shuffle bugged in EU? I've queued for 1.5 hours, got 3 lobbies and each of them ended before first round
should i be using black powder at all in arena?
literally never
ok just making sure ty
you shouldn't have it talented in any build
tyty
nah, just ended 2-4 xd
next time i'll go rsham or hpal after they using their resources
as kill target
which should i be using until i upgrade my db belt?
I waited 3 hours for my first lobby
1-5 into arms/feral/BM
Priest did not press 1 dome, or 1 swap for 6 rounds
I know that priest his name is midnightpoke he's actually a YouTuber doing a challenge no swaps to elite
Ah wait I thought you were talking about the aoe finisher
Yes I use shuriken combo builder, it's bound to 3
ah ok tyty
Is that the last piece of conq you need? Drakebreaker is easy to upgrade, you can do it Wednesday
i don't need anymore conq, i just need my db belt upgraded & my db bracers
which?
Otherwise buy outlaw stuff
oh im sub
The conquest one
Ya but maybe you want to play other specs
nah
Or save the conquest for new season stuff idk
ah ok
ok ill use the conq belt for now until i upgrade my db belt, ty
how do i upgrade it? seems so complicated
Upgrade dB?
Or what
NPC to the right of honour vendor
Otherside of PvP dummy
Just talk to them, click the + sign
sorry i meant this
i googled it and i think i get it from a sparks quest? but i don't have that quest at the npc it shows me on wowhead 😕
Hmm
You should have it
Do Valdrakken intro quests maybe
Jus take all quests in the target dummy room
i haven't done the val quests on my rogue, just my main, but i finished the story
The NPC for turn in is not the same as the NPC that gives it. Also just join a sparks + 25 kills group in group finder and ask them to share it
how many trophies do i get for each weekly sparks quest?
Then you should be fine but maybe the open oritentation: Valdrakken one that makes you visit all the important npcs
Idk
8 per week
Only takes 2 weeks to upgrade chest belt and bracers
I do this solo lol 😂 I wait until someone close to dying and kill steal and run away
No man just find a damn group why punish yourself
Adrenaline rush
Are points wasted in haste (alacrity) its a two point spend to get a second dance not sure if a second dance is worth it in pvp?
I feel like easiest way is just wait until there a pvp quests up in the zone, they give 25 sparks upon completion, you can do drake races for 10 sparks, looting assassins is like 15 sparks I think, supply drops, or just join a group and farm 1 spark per kill - but for solo play, I just wait for the world quests
do you have war mode on?
Anyone using gloomblade build in SS?
Good call, that's step 1 of course xD
Haven't had warmode off since forever so didn't even think of that
I wish soloq would give closer lobbies in terms of rating. I'd rather sit a longer queue than go 4-2 and gain 0 rating (or lose rating going any worse than 4-2).
How do people even manage to climb
stuff like this
Everyone’s mmr in that match is pretty darn close
your mmr is lower than your cr, which means that you lost your previous game pretty hard
after this game now, your mmr and cr will be the same
so if you go 4-2 you should get like +50
no but I've been considering going ST raid build for solo and playing like I'm Assa to see how the damage looks
ahead of 10.1
also do you have cheap shot and kidney shot on the same keybind


Oof. I have sap/gouge on the same keybind, even though of course it would be nice to have them separate in case I want to gouge some off target during dance.
Bicmex you playing some rogue?
Didn't happen though 😄
But cr isn't. I don't have the screenshot of it, but can be calculated from this one if needed.
It's kidney with shift, cheap shot with no modifiers.
no but
your mmr was lower than your cr
so now that you went 4-2
nah
thats not how it works bicmex
lol
if you win more than you lose = gain rating
your mmr and cr are the same
SO NOW
if you go 4-2
you will go up
this 4-2 only made it so you didn't go negative
because if you have less mmr than cr
you would have gotten - for going 3-3
Hello
This is interesting can i ever get rating if i go 2-4 ?
yes billy!
if your mmr is way higher than your cr (for example, if you're on a big winning streak)
then you can even gain rating by going 1-5
but sometimes i lose rating when i go 5-1
Wait that is fantastic news! Thank you for the quick reply ❤️
To me it looks like it depends on everyone's cr.
If you're the lowest in the lobby, you can gain with 2-4.
Which also happened to me a couple times
no it's just based on your own personal mmr
By your logic you can go on a winning streak and keep climbing even if you go 1-5 one game.
So if you're on a losing streak, you're extra screwed.
yeah, that's how it works
you get punished for doing bad
and rewarded for doing good
if you go 0-6 2 times in a row
your mmr will now be WAY lower than your cr
so even if you go like
6-0 next game
you'll be getting +0 still
or maybe like +10
I'll see what's my mmr now if I get a game
Yes but that’s what mmr is
It’s your match making value
how sleeping does affect my pvp performance? yesterday slept 2 hours and this night just 5
So next game I've got I was 1518 mmr with 1521 cr. Gained 47 cr for 4-2 game in a lobby like that. Not sure what to take from it.
