Your mmr is what tries to push you towards the proper CR for your skill level based on wins/losses etc
So if I lose hard a couple times my mmr is like "Nah mate, you're to bad for 1500 cr, better not gain any rating this game xD"
mmr is heavily influenced by streaks
positive or negative ones
if you win 20 games in a row your MMR will explode while your CR will climb normally
losing 20 in a row does it as well
not sure if it's round-sorted or lobby-sorted as far as MMR for solo shuffle lobbies
I had a Disconnect from Arena 16 hours ago, blizz can I not have deserter for 16 hours please jesus fuck
you gain an avg of 50 mmr a win and lose 50 a loss
why the hell conquest items become unrefundable instantly after equiping?
I've bought a neck instead of ring (they honestly look the same)
N O R E F U N D S
literally the game warns you loudly about this when you try to equip a new conquest item
I did this same thing on my lock when it was the last piece i needed to start arena. I was so pissed because afterwards horde lost the next 4 BG’s
it'd make sense to disallow refunds after enchanting and stuff
why equiping
good thing I haven't done that when conquest was capped, I'd be mad
sure, but I find it unnecessary
I don't see a scenario where refunding equipped pvp items could be abused hard
yeah, all the survival chads are here in the rogue discord
playing Path of Exile probably
get out from my shuffle matches surv mains REEEEEEEEEE
oh god I just found out after 300 dragon riding quests; you can cheat skip the final ring (start/end) by using the clock quest item
can confirm lol
You mean restart?
its good? I dont know how assa work 
How you get the CD numbers on the debuffs you put on them? Above the dummy’s health bar
What poisons do I use as an Ass Rogue in PVP? I have b een told many different things thus far.. just thought id ask here.
Deadly/Wound and Numbing/Crippling
Atrophic isn’t a terrible choice in place of numbing but it’s kinda w/e
Usually an add on like Plater or KUI nameplates
Yea i use BigDebuffs
question about sin opener: is it ok to cs-garrote melee offtarget before jumping on main target? or does that give too much time for the other team to respond?
prolly better to just cs and jump to the next target for a cleaner opener right?
got another surv
but this one didn't used mending
won 4-2
kek
i'll continue tomorrow, i slept 2 hours yesterday and 5 in last night
fkn summer
Thanks
Thanks
rolled a prevoker just to try out healing
healing shuffle at the trench ratings might be the worst thing I've done in this game
i have triple the respect for shuffle healers now
haven't checked chat weekend, do we have more nerf this tuesday?
nah
So what have we decided to reroll to???
warrior or fistweaver
pve as rogue (lool)
was gonna come back to wow after a few months off and i see they've been smoking meth
Rogue obviously
#rogue4lyfe
People do love leveling alts to reroll to xD
Yeah i always have atleast 1 alt for days i just don’t feel like sweating in arena but want to play and i’m not a big pve fan so that’s out of the question.
Yeah the effort between winning as sub rogue and lock in shuffle is huge haha
😂💀
When you only been back almost 2 months after 15 years away from pc gaming it’s still tough 😅
Funny too because they are 2 of my main classes, followed by war and priest
What do you mean by "it's good"? 😛
Probably his combat log to see if damage numbers are in right order
I mean good dmg by spells in pvp rotation. Sorry english is not my first language
it's really hard to say, PvP is something different than PvE, there's no "PvP rotation" and the dmg is mostly based on your gear and your opponents, but it doesn't matter that much because most of the people are fully PvP geared so we can say that it's kinda constant on some level
I think I should've been playing PvP only on the weekends. The ~30-40 min queue times are crazy.
Is outlaw competitive with sub? or is sub just better? I know assa is the best right now but I don't like playing it that much
I would say sub is better than outlaw atm yes
sub is one of the best specs in the game, outlaw almost certainly one of the worst, if not theworst
dont think its quite the worst but it might be the worst rogue spec yea
I actually don’t know what the worst spec is atm
I thought all three rogue specs were split between top tiers on most lists
Yeah but assa is ahead of most specs by a lot no?
2-3 tiers higher depending who you ask
Mmmm it dropped down a little and will drop more
well OL is the least played spec at every rating bracket, it's for sure in the dumpster tiers with Fury, Enhance, Frost DK
can't think what's worse then
I don't think there are any specs that are unplayable don't get me wrong, but OL gotta be in the competition for worst spec
Also, what sort of damage should my sustain be sitting at outside of the burst? Cause I'm pretty sure I'm doing gutter tier damage on sub but I have no idea why
if im not mistaken; sub is actually more prevalent at higher ss rankings then assa
I think they gently nerfed Assa into A tier now, it's not nearly as dominant as it was. still has a massive place in the meta ofc
you will not top meters as sub
In most games I'm sitting like 4th though
unless you win in opener you will be last on dmg
I mean in the solo shuffle I just did I was like 1mil damage behind all the other dps
before the nerfs a disc priest would beat you sometimes
sub allows you to get really gimmicky kills, you have bomb / duel, a lot of cc, secret technique pumps
So I'm actually fine then?
just because you do least damage doesnt mean you cant win
are you winning games?
Cause I'm spending more time looking for stuns etc, which works in actual arena but not solo shuffle
in 2s I was on like a 15 win streak but I can barely get a round in solo shuffle
idk what your set ups look like or talents / rotation
you need to adjust your playstyle for shuffle, low rated lobbies can be difficult
if you play the Echoing Reprimand/Replicating Shadows build you can do more overall DMG maintaining Ruputre between goes
I'm using the DM/DB build from the sub faq at the moment
tell your DPS to just do damage and use their stuns/disorients on the 2nd DPS, make sure every go you're creating a 3v1
Is there a build you guys think is better for solo shuffle?
I think I do trip up on the priority outside of the burst, in solo shuffle I keep forgetting slice and dice
My opening on sub is way less clean than assa though I think, but it feels easier on assa to just double garrote kidney or rupture
slice is big for your burst go, it means you get extra CP on your shadowstrike because of premed
I would argue Slice uptime is more important than Rupture
Okay that's something to change then I've been putting rupture on prio
you should have time for both tbh
peel between goes, shiv stuff, disarm cooldowns etc.
but there's a load of advanced decision making in Sub in 3v3 (solo or not), you need to be able to adjust to what's happening around you and help your team find the kill
you're the quarterback
Maybe my opener in general is just really bad on sub also, is there something on here that goes over the opener?
kinda hard to call anything an opener because none of sub is scripted - the only 2 things that are scripted really are kidneyshot goes, and cheapshot goes.
in the opener try to get a sap, stun the off-target and kidney-go the kill target
you can then read the game to decide if you need to follow up with a blind
or if the go is over
I'm definitely messing this up then
sap is so rough in low mmr solo shuffle too though people just wanna go before you even get a chance
you can also sap healer, gouge off target, stun kill target depending on your team-mates - if you're playing a Ret for example their HoJ is better on offtarget than your cheap
just communicate with your team mates honestly, I know it can be really rough at low rating to co-ordinate
the good news about low rated games though is that if the team sucks you can really easily bang someone in a duel
Thanks for all the tips though guys this has been a huge help, I was so unsure if me being 3rd to 4th on DPS was a huge issue or not
every time you have kidney/dance ready, create a 3v1 with your available CC. if you do - you will win more games than you lose overall
good luck king
I played DK before this in a meleecleave so I'm used to the insane burst/sustain they have
In 2s CC for wins was so much easier, think I just need to grind out the mechanics more and see the situations to climb
are you playing secret technique?
try heaing in ss
13 seconds straight cc
i can see why cc is getting nerfed
and its deserved
Yeah I am
This is just a very wrong way of thinking
Yes, when you need to heal and get CC'ed you can't press buttons
But you have to understand that this also applies to the DPS dealing damage to the people you heal
They will ALSO be CC'ed way less
Which means that they will rampage the people you are trying to heal a lot more
You won't get as many safe moments when the guy gets feared or poly'd or whatever and stops having 60k dps for a few seconds
Now people will get to press their spells a bit more
This should mean the opposite healer is in the same situation
Only to find out that it's actually impossible to keep outhealing the dmg of 2 dps forever
So now you'll just lose just the same
But through your healing instead of while in cc
Even worse feeling
The supporters of cc changes seem to think their team is the only one dealing with long cc chain. In solo shuffle you literally play with and against everyone, so the reasoning is totally invalid.
If all cc is reduced
That means enemy DPS is gonna be doing more damage, it's gonna be harder to peel warrior DK training a healer
im sure you feel really good to sap and blind the enemy healer
then put them into a micro cc when they trinket
Without that
What does rogue bring exactly? That a DH or warrior or DK can't do better ?
The CC change discussion isn't about Rogue
Even in match-ups where there are 0 Rogues
You can't say that, since it's not live
The CC dealt to enemy DPS and enemy healers will be affected EXACTLY as the CC on YOU as a healer
Unless you've been sweating on the ptr
They will also have more healing uptime and DPS uptime
It won't make healer life easier
Exactly
it would atleast remove the fake cast till you die if you're getting trained
or probably remove sap into blind then kidney trap
interrupts are getting reduced too?
People like you seem to think two things:
- only your team is benefiting from the changes
- only your healer is getting chain cc'd thus needing the changes
yeah ? If you fake it anyway where's the problem ?
Or you actually WANT the game to be as dumb as
people dying in global is not fun
"I cast, I don't try to fake, I get kicked, but it doesn't matter because it's too short to matter me like"
Is that the message here ?
If yes well, that's pretty sad
How does the meta slow down with less cc?? There will be even larger windows for damage
XD
The damage is the problem
circlejerking experience
With smaller cc, then more damage?
What are you talkin about
Funny
literal echo chamber
Lower CC > less people in CC > people having more time to deal damage > faster meta
Show us otherwise
I'm curious to see the arguments
Describe how more uptime slows things down
Are you 12?
worthless talking to
Nah but just explain to us then
apparently thinking positive about something is bad
Do you know the definition of "argument", or for you is the only meaning of argument "people fighting with words"
just gtfo
We just want your reasoning
We gave ours
Less cc, means more time active, means more damage going out and faster game
You say the opposite
We're asking how you come to that conclusion?
You're unable to answer and getting hostile and your only réplique is "hurr Durr circle jerk"
He dreamed it
I’m not with raven but the cc reduction doesn’t slow the meta down
That's how
The crit damage nerf does for example
"BUT GUYS IF I'M NOT BLIND SAPPED THE META IS SLOWER"
That's what we're saying.
So idk why he is saying the cc part is
Which has nothing to do with CC
Yep
Yeah but to me that's a blanket chznge that's gonna need a lot of fine tuning of class stuff
Hopefully they adjust
Because with that outlaw just gets worse than it already is
Since our only "burst" is from BtE if you can even call it that
ya idk he weird
outlaw relies on crit for its sustain damage
is more worrying
it gets hit by the nerf to crit damage cause it crits 60% of its abilities
it doesnt even do burst
ur sustain damage is made off of crits
tf is happening here
well reading that, ccs wont slow down the meta, but potential and predominant wizard matches will do
checked by myself wizard lobbies and are slow and boring af
just pillar hugging and dampening waiting
i mean thats ur fault for pillar hugging and dampening?
run out and fight those wizards instead
(and die horribly)

I have been summoned.
It seems like a forbidden word as been written
The guy wrote something forbidden earlier but it got insta deleted
For what its worth, if youre weird enough to get worked up over an argument and hitting filters, getting some fresh air and touching grass is a valid alternative instead of continuing to type.
O O F
I thought it was some bot action
yeah, is automatic
i wrote someting quoting a guy once and got instadeleted and with orange police coming here

Koffing just hit that nerd with the sickest kidney ive ever seen
This discord actually helps people with their tempers. Forbidden word? Na na na, koffing police department on the way
2 day cc

so, what now?
Nothing.
:l
I hoped you would be entertaining continuing the convo as to how cc was going to slow down the meta.
Errr.. A lack of cc
yea but with kick and CC reduction, on top of having free precog, I could see caster cleaves potentially being even more oppressing than melee cleaves
agree 100% that is the reason think meta will suck instead cc reduction itself
cuz precog being almost baseline for casters
but
can be good
noobs will complain now for being unable to unga bunga in next season so they will be nerfed to the floor KEK
is assa didn't get nerfed again for 10.1 then i think will have very good presence at pvp cuz dampening
and currently being very good for wizard lobbies
the execution build might be the play for longer games, getting people low will be a death sentence with damp

zoldyck build u say?

if the precog change/kick nerf creates a caster meta Assa will be pretty good with a Warlock/SPriest to act as their daddy, but if we end up with an ungabunga melee meta you're going to get trained down before Zoldyck can matter tbh
yeah, maybe we can flex build for that patch
if become wizard, try a little zoldyck build, if not, our usual one for now

Question: I'm a noob and like 1500 rating. I've been playing assa but feels like I'm not dealing enough damage. Should I try out sub? I usually play double DPS 2's and triple DPS 3's with friends
- hows your gear looking?
- do you know the assa rotation? (its easier than sub btw)
- 3x dps is insane
- show talents
Catching up my guess would be. Mainly healers get CC with less CC healers will be able to heal more which slows the game down.
- I've got all the basic conq purps with enchants. No gems yet.
- I usually open with garrote on 1 to two targets, keep rupture/s&d up and drop deathmark/exsang pretty early usually just cause we always run damage.
- Agreed. Lmao. None of us wanna play healer and we're irl friends so it's ok
- Can't ATM but will send it later. It's very close to one of the builds posted in the assa pvp faq
Okay it is similar to the full bleed/poison build but I've realized I haven't spec'd into echoing reprimand... Is that crucial to my damage dealing?
Stopping damage is what slows the game down
Yeah i understand. I’m just guessing that was his thinking.
Oh
Well
The fact that he was unable to answer when two of us asked shows that he didn't really have a thinking
😂
He just plays healer on one char, got CC'ed a long time a couple times, and went full mald mode, that's all
Yeah i just finished gearing my healer today.
So tomorrow i’ll be trying arena
Got the rogue max geared and the lock all glad geared
Nice. I'm lucky, feral alt so literally just needed healer weapon and I'm good to go resto if I feel like it
But I know I'm gonna be such a shit healer
I also got my healer to 70 over the weekend, time walking go crazy
disc is fun so far, only did 2 solo shuffles but holy hell my blood pressure also gonna go crazy
Enemy healer got dc'ed by mind control 2nd game though
What do you use for party 123 targeting? As a DPS player I'm struggling to find a good bind setup for those without having to rebind stuff on DPS (to maintain consistency)
You mean which buttons?
I have mwheel up for arena 1, mwheel down for arena 2 and mouse button 3 for arena 3. For party all the same with shift modifier (with shift mouse 3 being self target).
I use sort group to force order of group; Im always 3, scroll wheel up is party 1 and scroll wheel down is 2 and then I can make a modifier for self cast
Go healer
easy
Healer won't last too long regardless, they will be killable, once they see r1 works, then it will be a healer kill contest
rdruid and hpal are both easy to swap..
Yeah that's how I did it when I used to play resto druid, but I use mwheel for movement abilities these days like sstep sprint grapple wild charge etc, gonna be hard to redo muscle memory :/ I'm gonna experiment with mmo mouse and see if I find something along those lines
Maybe go back to mwheel for targeting and use side buttons for movement stuff
x is my sprint ang g was grapple to mouse coursor
I don't think reduced crit damage necessarily implies a slower game, at least explicitly. I think any class that explicitly relies on crits is going to get a blanket damage buff on their damage (unless they explicitly want to nerf those classes). The reason for the change is to cut down on high damage abilities randomly critting and doming you from %50 hp. It doesn't make any sense for classes that rely on the crit stat to deal comparable damage (looking at you outlaw) to be punished. That's also why chaos bolt has the "always crits" modifier, so you get less variance. Obviously fewer random deaths means longer games on average but I don't think it necessarily means less overall dps - unless they're trying to nerf all specs except aff lock and demo lock, those that really don't have crit scaling in their kits.
I just got griefed so incredibly hard by my own team mate
got palas bubble and trinket
his MW is behind the pillar
I kidney bomb with a flag/coldblood/sectec go
and my WW rings the bomb
knocks the pala into line of his healer
I want to unalive myself
hahahaahahahah
most 'I got griefed' scenarios are like... you could have played better to avoid it
but that is the epitome of grief
Nah but in this scenario there's nothing you could do
You had the setup and everything in place
But his brain just autopilot
I guess he didn't register the friendly bomb colour
Maybe he's using that ring bot some people had for ringing domes lmao

I've given up on trying to understand queue times lmao
destros are EZ thro
but demos
more with an elite DH which idk what the fuck was doing there
oh look the pinky elite lock tint doesn't look that bad
Is there an addon to have your arena frames to have the enemy healer on a specific? (for example: Arena 1 & 2 are dps and Arena 3 is healer) or does that doesn’t exist?
Ahh gotcha
look, finally a match without demos or survs
i think they will consistently get worse until the end of the season and then slightly improve at the start of every season and consistently get worse again and repeat
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/framesort is the main one I'm aware of, but I'm not sure it does enemy team, it may only do your own party
Pretty sure there's nothing to sort enemy team
And even if there was, it would probably break in solo anyway lol
At least it won't sort their ArenaX tag
this kind of situations makes me more resolved, fuck everyone i'll kill them all in next match
but hope faster queue
I don't even know why you'd want to desert with 30+ min queues x)
you don't lose mmr if you desert mid game?
haha that sucks
i deserve hell i know
it is what it is, ppl will always exploit where they can till they fix it
somehow doubt they care tho, i see posts about it from early december lol
nah, if they would care they would fix it already alongside queue times
they should just make solo shuffle 4v4 or 5v5 boom queue fixed
pls no
why not
4v4 we d have to play 24 rounds until the shuffle is over
that means much more accurate mmr <-> skill correlation
amazing
fix two problems at the same time
are u serious lol
5v5? is it no different between league of legends and this?
looks acceptable on first glance, now use your minds eye to add diminishing returns
0.75 sec storm bolts XD
i reckon they should've just nerfed DRs
full -> half -> immune
and then add a DR tracker to the default UI
that would have been too simple
"make CC more meaningful" according to Blizzard means: <It's almost better to take out that stun Talent point and move it to damage>
and what the heck is leg sweep doing at 5 sec??
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING FACEPALM EMOJIS
there
not sure where he got that leg sweep is 5 seconds. It's not on ptr notes
Ah it's cus they remove cc reduction and apparently they have a modifier that makes it 5 seconds, didn't know
they probably just forgot Monk tbh
monk indeed has a modifier in pvp
yeah but from stats to the facts
what?
yes i believe you, I'm just asking if anyone knows how I would go about finding the stats for pvp
since wowhead doesn't show it
I guess all cc except evoker stuff is here for anyone wondering https://www.wowhead.com/guide/diminishing-returns-in-pvp-6024
he got tilted
Surv enjoyers eating good in 10.1
i swear
in 7 more days
ill go w my ret fully buffed and fkn massacre them
every fucking demo and surv
they actually buffed the blade
wdym
they just removed the modifiers
Isn't vanguards the top1 ret in NA
he usually is no?
just saw this comment on reddit
"Cheap shot would actually have it's duration increase, so they could cheap shot -> blind -> sap and still have kidney for the kill target."
😮
i think the problem is pressing blind is a combat action
is it?
i think it is yes
That was my thought, it definitely still puts you in combat in PVE
i dont remember being in combat when i blind from stealth, maybe i never noticed
also to do that you would need to be in shadowdance or stealthed for the cheap shot
that would only really work for sub i think
if it did work that is
Yeah i just tried
it doesn't
but cheap shot -> blind lol
sub is the only spec i guess
I’m already doing KS->blind->sap the trinket.
it's kinda annoying in 1on1 isn't it?
sub stocks rise upppp
ppl will have to trinket blind anyways
so nothings changed
well only if theyre stunned first into a blind
i guess that changed
just be Nightelf lul (and melee range or subterfuge range)
(and use your racial for a chance at sapping)
and cherry on top, maybe I m wrong here but towards the end of cheap shot the blindsap target can not be hit by combat inducing abilities, or else it will still be in combat after blind xd
For the horde
fuck how become so tilted make me drop 300 CR?
i have 4-2 in a row now, but at which price?
have you been playing solo shuffle?
that is literally the answer of how to become tilted
at this point I am becoming tilted just thinking about solo shuffle
Whenever you lose a game and start thinking "I need to queue asap and get my rating back omg", it's often best take a break instead. I feel like that's how I've started many losing streaks in different games.
Isnt sap and blind 8 secs now?
not with the 15% CC reduction no
Tbf you can open with blind and sap off that, a lot high rated people play it like this anyway
Red is dead
dude what
they nerfed ret?

oh oke
it's ptr with rework
it would be funny as fuck if they nerfed ret now
The best way to gain rating as a ret rn is not queuing
did i hear sub stock rising 👀
what
i dont remember even chatting in the last 20 rounds of solo shuffle
i got reported cus i couldnt keep people alive 👌
according to reddit, telling a toxic inting russian go to ukraine is bannable
get owned noob
pwned
hey completely new to DF Rogue what spec should i start to get goin
welcome to the dark side
sub is basically god of everything & the universe & should be worshipped
jk assassin is #1 atm i believe, but sub is still really good
i heard assa got nerfed to the ground
everything is getting nerfed to the ground in 10.1
but we still got 3 months
so assa you say okay ty
np
People who say this often can't distinguish russians and ukrainians
and for assa we go 2 daggers ?
Can't mutilate without 2 daggers so yes
master shredder
Purple still the best though
if purple is mythic, then yeah i might as well attempt to raid, just this once.
Anything but red is ok with me.
I kinda miss elite sets having a bit of extra detail tbh. I've been enjoying parts of BfA s1 alliance elite set a lot (despite the fact that they robbed us of cooler gloves at some point).

Lol
Ye I'd say for sure that's the elite
Did they confirm which colors are the elite set? I feel like if S1 is crimson S2 is going to be that red lol
which color is missing from raid list then? should be the pvp elite
The bottom two don't show up in the appearance tab on the PTR yet, so those are likely the two PvP tints
wtb some new pvp back sheathe samurai swords to go with the new set
I could see the Trading Post having something like that
Hanzo Sword is good fit already I think
felsteel longblade too
hanzo swords i use for my DH
a good fit would be if we could get back warglaives lol
inb4 they add a samurai set to trading post
wraith chill warglaives with the blue elite set omg
I got the ring
gzzz
As sub how do you 100-0 someone in wpvp?
55% to 0 this lock in 0.9 seconds feels so god damn dirty
4/6 on first solo of the day overall and the last round with the lock death. felt so wicked lol
fine i went to sleep after that boiling tilting, lemme check that tints
This doesnt work reprimand was nerfed, besides if you open with kidney u dont have enough combo points for a full 6 sec stun
well we need to do some comparison to discard no pvp tints, lemme turn on the potato laptop
that's what it says in the pvp guide
https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/subtlety-rogue-pvp-rotation-and-playstyle
green or blue one are the elites
and knowing pvp historial about tints im more leaned to blue this season
@faint vessel
omfg just disable arena for tanks
or solo at least
go do 3s, fine, but don't make me join a double prot pala lobby
prot paladins? lol
jokers
i usually stay in stealth or get blasted lmao
delete protadin matches in SS
everyone else got 2-4 because they needed the DH to win
I had to queue 40 min for that joke
these ques are taking forever. finally got back to duelist this morning tryna make a run on that elite finally
any1 notice Pika using the health trinket for his outlaw builds? i am intrigued lol
that ravenx guy ended leaving the server?
@plucky sage thanks for your help again I finally got them finished today let's fucking GOOOOOOOOO
you were right, open orientation / df quests on my rogue i think it was tyty ❤️
cobalt GY campers are lame asf lol
i don't know who writes the rogue icy veins guide but iv guides tend to be not too reliable
if you're starting with combo points imo you want to kidney after you dance
I mean I think the thought process there is the guide is assuming you are running The First Dance (which it states in that rotation) which generates CP's when you use dance, so rather than waste free CP's you get to 0 with kidney first
True true I'm tripping
I'm playing a weird Sub build down the Vanish CDR side, but with flag for doing a really big kill attempt once someone has trinketed, but I'm finding something odd
If I do a 7cp SecTec with my build, it hits for 229k
sounds like a one shot lol
if I play the regular build and do an Echoing Reprimand go with SecTec it hits 272k
but the shadow part only does 18% more dmg
but with veiltouched, black powder and dark brew it should be hitting 31% harder
Is that in arena with a 424 ilvl?
PvP dummy, symbols+badge with no weapon enchant procs
Whats your ilvl
Thats a solid number ah super high nmastery have u tried the rotten instead of reprimand?
Can you tell me howd you get bis? U went on a mythic raiding binge?
Do you take 7cp with the rotten build? Are you triggering deeper by evis first? Are you aware of how macabre works?
build #1 has no ER and Flag instead of Rotten
build #2 has ER and the extra magic dmg modifiers
yes yes and yes 🙂
I mythic raid and M+ to upgrade crafted stuff
ye i'm testing without saphic procs
Damn i dont have time
And you’re making sure you have the same macabre stacks for each?
so interestingly, by the time the shadow clones hit the ER build has an extra stack of DM, yet does less dmg
the CDR build goes dance > evis > strike > sectec > strike which is 3 stacks when clones hit
ER build goes dance > evis > ER > sectec > strike which is 4 stacks
I wonder if it’s bugged and clones don’t get brew and deeper daggers.
I wouldn’t be shocked.
definitely feels like one of the modifiers isn't registering
not that it matters I guess, I've just been hitting dummy between queues for muscle memory purposes
you can get close, the only big crafted pieces I have are shoulders and ring tbh, the rest are available through PvP
Well if this is the case then everyone sending 4 point evis’ are doing it wrong.
wasn't there some funny business with sec tech at the beginning of the expansion? like details not registering the shadow hits, maybe there's some funny coding with shadow clones being treated as separate entities or sth
I’m going to test that more. Not that it really matters. I think the rupture is too good to give up.
Can you test just a 1 pt sec tec with and without dark brew/deeper?
See if it actually does more.
Deeper daggers not strat
You can check iirc
You just have to make sure Pets is checked in the blizzard combat log settings
Not at work I can’t.
They are treated as pets, yes
But they do damage based on your damage because find weakness does increase the shadow component.
I did test that
Can anyone name the website where you can see what talents people use in arena and whatnot? I remember in bfa there was thelootdistrict, but I think there's a different one these days
why would find weakness increase the shadow component damage? it's an armor debuff not a shadow damage debuff
Cheers
Why would replicating shadows put you in combat?
Why doesn’t flare give you subterfuge?
Why do the shadow clones not attack outside of normal range if you have acrobatic strikes?
Why does shadowy duel clear your target?
Why can you shadow step out of spear of bastion?
Why do melee abilities have a wider arc of attack than auto attack?
Interesting, some talents I didn't really consider are the most picked 😄
Feel kinda stupid now
I was asking a legitimate question lol
If you step while you’re getting snapped you break it.
Same with blink or grip or anything
So you run out and step as it’s pulling in?
That's some game changing stuff
Yeah but it’s super tight timing.
I thought you're doomed to sit it since cloak doesn't break it anymore
queues dumb and dumber there’s a chance gif
Even if you expect it, you gotta practise it. And it’s super hard to get the timing right if you’re snared.
If I’m screwed sometimes I duel the healer so I don’t get trained I’ll have to practice the step
Is blindside and the talents above it actually bad?
these ques taking forever today feel like the avg wait time is 30min
they're not
it's just that the other talents are much comfier to play with
like which for example?
serrated bone spike, doomblade, shrouded suffocation, intent to kill
can zoldyck be relevant for wizard lobbies at future?
why specifically for wizard lobbies
dampening playstyle
you'll deal less overall damage with zoldyck + ap compared to shrouded suffocation + sbs
zoldyck + ap is good for killing in setups
i see
but in dampeners if nobody goes below %35 that's literally 3 points you're spending for nothing and you gave up %20 garrote damage at all times
I've had all of these except intent
It would probably be easier for you to just post your current build and we could tell you from there rather than guessing lol
then you don't have dtb
which i didn't write there because it's basically mandatory lol
how many ques to get about 175 rating at duelist. win 3 at 4/6 seems like it might do it
do u have a streak?
i think ive won minimum 4 rounds the last 3-4 ques
sweating bullets over here closest ive been to elite all season lol
dude everytime im close to duelist always i got something which counters me and i drop hard
this game rng hates me
I tried playing some other talents. The occasional free Ambush felt better tbh
in last match at 2040 cr i got a devoker, a dark iron demo and a ele
Out of curiosity, does someone know whether you go with a fresh mmr when you change spec in shufle, or do you impact specs mmr by playing others ?
I know logically it shouldn't, but blizzard coding is ... its own
Also getting a lobby with 3 zug zug and fistweaver is a joke. Can't even blind the guy cause he's basically a third zug zug.
some ppl said it gaves a lot of mmr at alt specs
but usually is like 1500 mmr at 0 cr
When I searched for leg sweep on wowhead the pvp multiplier was one. The only place I could see that the duration was 5 seconds instead of the normal 3 was in the diminishing returns list. It just boggles me how inaccurate and unclear wowhead can be sometimes.. unless I'm missing something
ive hit duelist 3 times this season and every time i get to 2200 i somehow end at 1600 and have to work back
crap i wish ur luck
i found that with fistweaver if you just train them it stops them in their tracks lol
someone else was dying most of the time
mostly a warrior
usually the fistweaver is flamed hard in shuffle
just dont stand in the purple on the ground screw a fistweaver lol
cuz ppl complains about healing
I dont see anything on the ground, everything is a mess
it sucks when you have literally the firstweaver and both dps training you though that is rough. happened last night and it wouldnt stop lol
when 5 people stack on each other
i think when that happened last night i went 100 to 0 in like 0.5
does playing alt spec lower my main spec mmr is what concerns me most
ahhh is that
sorry, i don't have the answer
'cause like, I played assa somewhat high, then I wanted to experiment a meme build as outlaw, turned out I started with 2.6 with full mastery gear and a meme build so I lost a lot of games before being able to see what I wanted to see
then I went higher as assa
hmmm
And now I am wondering, well, if I play Outlaw AGAIN, to play it seriously this time, will it impact assa
did u compared the mmr the 1st time u joined?
:l
but since it got me to 3368 I'm like well
think u will have the answer
if u requeue just ONCE
welp
tbh would be good if blizz show us our current mmr instead showing it at matches
yep
if you hit elite does that title stay forever or just the season
cause ima rock it all the gd time if i finally get it today lol
RIP to that cause OL in 3s to get that would never happen lol
wtb an update to solo shuffle to keep titles lol
these elite swords with berzerking illusion are too dope
@chrome schooner u wont fuck with ur mmr dont worry
i like flames of ragnaros
being high in 1 spec will make u start with a bit higher mmr in the other specs
but u wont lose assa mmr by playing outlaw and losing
so is intended to have a little more mmr?
who here is the elite elite elite champ and has 2400 on all three specs lol
i run this build against melee lobbies, hunters, demolocks and fistweavers. it's a bit cheesy if there are no pets but one time i got an unholy dk + demo lobby and I had 30 second uptime every 45 seconds on %24 agility
fistweavers deserve to be cleaved like the m+ trash they are
lol fistweavers getting ripped on but ive seen a few 3k ones so its gotta be working lol
they're not bad, i just think it's a degenerate playstyle
crap my legs feels so weak, maybe i overexcersise them yesterday
the guy i played against today his character name was literally Fistweaver
at least can play calmer without any need to move
Hi Team
Im starting to get up there in RBGs (1600 rated) and im running between Sub and Assa, i feel like Assa does more dmg, but i almost always encounter other Sub rogues
Is sub ahead of Assa in RBGS?
a good sub will kill you / defend / attack better
sub is always above assa at same skill level
If you think that's degenerate, remember legion mws with crane?
they gained cc immunity if I recall correctly\
Okay, i thought so too, then it's still me struggling with playing Sub
Ahh gotcha
it depends on what map
you should be able to play both
I can play both, but i am struggling with Sub. I play sup around 1400-1500 rating in 2s
But i feel like i have no grip of how the spec is played
:p
do u have a team u play rbg with or is it mostly just random groups
Pugs
ah
you can sap then cap; if they trinket sap, blind then cap
Im the biggest ninja capper in the game
thats not an issue, it's dmg to fc as sub thats an issue for me
always play assa on fc maps
^
Sub has a steeper learning/setup curve
look at the new crafted cloak
well my momentum to elite gone lmao. 3-3 after this lock went 5-1 and just destroyed everyone lol only went up 12 rating >.>
162 rating to go lol
we are all going to make it
sub on base maps
Interesting, is stat budget as standard?
seems like
currently 5-0 off priest swaps ive deleted each healer 5 times as outlaw and they are so mad im hella hype
just got 6-0 into the low cr hell
nice
that boosted a lot my mmr so maybe can get my 2k back soon
damn ended up 5-1 and the boomy got flammed to never play boomy again LOL
this felt good tho 102 till elite
warrior whispers me after "you only got that lobby cause im on a work call" LOL
Neat then. Its interesting how ppl pass/overlook on utility/def effects in favor of dps in WoW. I once had aa argument with a m+ mate of mine. He hard wanted me to drop 120 avoidance for 20 dps (sim) gain on a slot ...
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
i could drop def effects if i have enough defensives and healing
but if not, seems like the rule
We were at a point where general survival was the issue, not the overall dmg.
He was, we talked on it for about an hour with no resolution
bruh
3-3 and 49 rating im shitting bricks lol
2339 on the way to elite sweating bullets here
I believe
CMON CMOOOOOOOOOOON
wish these ques went fast lol
don't feel nervous that fucked me the 1st time i was almost to duelist
literal w my hands numbing
yeah my heads are clams
im rocking some unorthodox outlaw spec and im never changing it now lol
it must feel so bad to get hammer of wrathed by the healer for the KB lol
report KS
Please share screenshot I'm curious. Also, grats on going so well with Outlaw, hope you get elite!
Another thing is, you would do well to hack your mindset a bit. Like tell yourself you're on the way to 3k, that this is just another match in a longer road to 3k (your actual rating)
^
Your brain will sabotage you if you let it believe 2400 is your peak
BQQAAWulQAmRd/c4Iy2r7VOUFAAAJkERSE4ASCJSSgkEJRiIJJJhAAAAAAAElkAlkAJBBAAAA is my build. went away from lethality for leach and recuperator and went for crimson vial talents and crimson vial pvp talent over maneuverability
r1 or bust baby
Noooo I'm on phone in bed that's why I wanted a screenshot xD anyway I'll check it tomorrow
been in a que 20 min waiting to get this last 61 rating its so tiring sitting here waiting lol
OOF
No no no change that mindset. It's not the "last 61 rating"
It's just the next game that you'll 6-0 on your blitz to 3k on your Zero to Hero blue gear challenge to be R1
Ok
Say it out loud 5 times
Thanks!
yall gonna have me chanting at my computer LMAO
btw wtf happened with that guy ravenx? seems like he left
Interesting, you went with flurry talent over KS?
i been rocking that since 0 rating lol
i try to keep it up 100% of the time it smokes pets and such
you go this welinth! also remember there are many 3k+ outlaw rogues
https://www.pvpleaderboard.com/leaderboards/solo/us/rogue/outlaw
i used to rock the extra 2 yard melee talent but swapped that for grip and got rid of SS
i got to have that talent every inch matters 😉
Also no blinding powder! I thought that was the ONE thing that outlaw could benefit from was the short blind cd
never used it lol
Very unique build ngl
But seems to be working for ya so that's great. So many people just copy top ranked players builds but it's nice to see you're just going with what works for you and your playstyle.
Anyway gotta hit the hay, good luck with your next match
This is the reason I take Gouge on every Rogue Spec, so I can GOUGE MY EYES OUT
gn anon
man small bump in the road lost a round with a dude at 1% and went 2-4 >.>
gg 49 rating lol
homie I'm sorry but wth are you doing
thriving rn lol
well, ur day is ended
try again tomorrow
dude dunno why i hate guys irl and ingame which lecture me from nowhere lol
why that kind of persons wants to control everything? xdd
it's because their whole lives have been a lie and they dont realize
a guy whispered me to focus the arcane mage to kick him, the problem is i have high ping all the time, so i don't guarantee a sync interrupt, then i gouge instead
was after the game, i won 4-2, but damn
just whispered him "dont lecture me" and then kept whispering in the window lol
If I learned one thing after playing rogue for 8 years
dude, i come from a bad streak, ofc i know how to play at 1k7 hell
its that everyone else knows Rogue class better than me
same people celebrating the rogue cc nerfs lol
i have
/say sorry still new
macroed because i get triggered when stuff like that happens lol
bruh lemme play alone, if i mistake then is my fault
i literal stepped to him and hid w him in pillar w cheat death just triggered in front on him and nothing
worst part is "kick mage" is just a straw on the camels back and you know camels really dont give a shit about straws on their backs
i could perfectly complain about his fkn healing but no
I mean its gotta be a HUGE pile of straws
like meters tall or something
did anyone do the math
was arcane
but even like that
unless is critical constructive feedback instead passive aggresive comments ended by 🙂 i would read
else i send ppl to fuck off
ended for now, my computer is having HUGE disk raising spikes in usage
won't risk CR for framing screen
assa and sub sets are the most boring things i've ever read
4pc looks decent. I get that it’s on DM’s CD but while it’s up it’s pretty good, i guess lol.
is that the new pvp set?
Get some pretty big damage echoing afterwards and spamming envenom.
next season's tier sets
The 2pc is decent(ish)
ah ok
Extra 2-3k ish damage every 2 seconds constantly.
yah that 2 set is def nice
i'm not saying they're bad sets
Yeah
just.. not very interesting
true lol
Ahh okay, yeah, honestly i think assa in general is boring.
assa is a lot less boring this expansion
it has so many more buttons now
a lot more capabilities
Probably because when i started rogues we’re always about maneuvering to get behind and backstabs and stuns.
Now assa is just applie dots, keep dots up
sub and assa playstyle is very similar rn
boring, but decent, i take it
imo that kind of bonuses are the least leaned to be axed to the floor
the assa set might actually make kingsbane even better
cuz are simplier
send DM, then KB when DM falls
seems like
and the 4set fixes assa true struggling w dispells
so u can keep the pressure
i repeat, i take it
does this mean there is hope for 10.1?!
Honestly i’ve just been hitting rated honor cap for vault and then playing lock or priest. I’ve been having more fun on those.
Disc priest is fun in arena. Especially when people train you and they can barely do shit. Plus you get a shit load extra honor for being a healer
Unlocking dark iron now to make a shaman and i have to say BFA had to be the worst content ever made.
I didn’t play from wotlk until DF but i’d say it’d be a good guess to say bfa was everyone’s least favorite xpac
Oh okay, yeah i don’t think i did anything in wod since i been back.

But boralus and Zul are horrible, no flying and it taking so many hours to get i thought it would have to be that haha
wod lacked content
compared to BFA being fucking shit
imagine the persons which needed to fly in BFA after xp and then check the requiremets lol
also, the pve trinkets
i heard next patch they are removing pathfinder requirement and letting people fly in bfa
yeah i just wouldn't level through bfa tbh if i were you
cataclysm+WoD intro is usually the fastest
shadowlands without flying in places like revendreth made me mostly to alt f4
but its good
hope that
u need to admit, wod is very good to level up and farming stuff
its only issue was the lack of content, else would be a very good xp
the only expa i played was vanilla/tbc/wotlk then i played again at SL
Time walking is so free for leveling
I got 60-70 in like 3 hours

i played since wotlk every xp
I’m sorry
i only played cus of covid times
enjoyed legion the most and SL the least alongside cataclysm tho
ye and the brawler pvp event thingies
cata had a lot of deathbriger's will and gurthalak in arena
can u get stuff from brawlers guild at timewalk ?
i still recall in cata some pricks kicking u from HC dungeons just cuz u were in full pvp gear
dude, literal the fkn shitty gear dropping there was blue lol
oh yeah ofc bfa is long and convoluted
i still like Zul >>>>> Bor
i like boralus but i cant with drustvar for example
bfa could have been amazing, but for NO reason blizz just ignored every single problem, feedback and solution and crammed one system onto the next, borrowed power was like 65% of your dps in 8.3 and every thing was timegated as hell
it was so alt unfriendly
also somehow "pvp scaling" made it so your character was weaker (!) the more sockets you have on your gear
i am still waiting for the day that Shroud of resolve is account wide
visions of nzoth had to be the funniest pvp patch
random one shots, ungabunga
infinite stars
tank beam :^) highest dps in M+ xd
pvp in bfa was shit
and guess what, just fix accessibility and numbers and boom: corruption best system ever
but that would be too simple
u literal had to pve else u would never get geared for pvp
cuz the fkn chest barely dropped 2 items and the upgrade trophies were extremely hard to get
don't forget about drest
god fkn drest coin rolling
also i like sub and assa sets
outlaw set is dogshit
won't change gameplay at all
bte quadruple crit should've stayed baseline
I think its fine on tree, so you wont be forced into crit at all times
