#

ww

radiant glen
#

kill

obsidian pulsar
#

is the alliance 25 horde kills quest gone ? its not there in valdrax after todays reset anymore?

wintry dew
#

My ret friend just got rank6 suffle, i'm not the one there but im so fucking hyped LOL

jolly sierra
#

any EU player available here?

graceful ravine
#

are we rioting

jolly sierra
#

yes we are

#

we go ret until they fixes their bullshit

graceful ravine
#

ret still S tier after nerfs?

#

is this the most garbage set bonus ever?

#

5% agi? thats less than an enchant

bold bison

obsidian pulsar
#

is the alliance 25 horde kills quest gone ? its not there in valdrax after todays reset anymore?

tribal badger
#

Is it possible alliance is no longer the less active faction in wpvp?

#

That quest is just supposed to be a bonus for the smaller faction

#

Its just always been that alliance was the smaller faction since bfa omegalul

#

Did human rets swing the bar back

jolly sierra
#

ask dark irons too

obsidian pulsar
#

i did it the last 5 weeks and now its gone for alliance?

tribal badger
#

i'll check if horde have it later

#

its also possible nobody has it if factions r balanced

dull bridge
#

i thought it depended on your shard

potent pivot
graceful ravine
#

going to be a ret main now

#

cya bois

wanton breach
#

I've always been a ret main ever since 10.0.7 - don't throw me in with the lot of you fotm rerollers

chrome schooner
#

so yes we had already very very few good talents since they killed hemotox

#

so we had one, ONE way to escape ret war trains for 4s

#

and they remove it

tribal badger
#

i dont think horde has ever gotten the weekly quest and i get sharded into alliance heavy shards quite often

#

the quest is just based on faction participation in warmode as a whole

dark gulch
atomic loom
#

With the changes to blind cc duration is there going to be any way to sap off a blind or sap mid game anymore

chrome schooner
#

you can sap off a blind if you blind off a stun

#

or you can still sap out of 6s cc duing which ppl weren't touched

atomic loom
#

@chrome schooner thanks!

copper maple
#

Was a good talent, got bugged.

#

"Oh we gonna nerf it to the useless state, but keep in the game for a while. Oh, now it's gone btw lol"

pale storm
# graceful ravine are we rioting

look at the text on the middle sprint tooltip on that page though 'Increases your movement speed by 250% and makes you immune to roots and snares. Lasts 2.5 sec. Unable to attack or use other abilities while sprinting.' looks like maybe they are looking to rework baseline sprint?

#

20 second CD - so maybe baseline sprint is going to be 40 second CD + Increases your movement speed by 250% and makes you immune to roots and snares. Lasts 5 sec.

#

with improved sprint

jolly sierra
waxen meteor
#

what you talking about

#

is there a lobby without ret anymore?

dull bridge
dull bridge
#

that's weird but most likely a legacy spell that's currently unused

potent pivot
#

I know these are trying times to be a rogue homie, but let’s try not to bash/hate post the devs

graceful ravine
#

just fotm reroller

#

ez

jolly sierra
#

just give us back burst of speed

#

the thing i don't get is

wanton breach
#

i can see why burst of speed is too strong

jolly sierra
#

w that, sprint would be 20s cd, but only staying till 2.5s, so

why u need to disable any other ability there?

#

if will just stay for 2.5s?

dusky hazel
#

do you DM exsang or exsang DM in pvp?

magic mason
#

Can i play 2v2 with a different faction ?

jolly sierra
#

exsang DM

spring bough
#

ive seen some laws using take your cut maybe time to switch it up lol

jolly sierra
spring bough
#

9 people use it lol

jolly sierra
#

welp

#

try it

#

tbh ptr just leaves me extremely impatient

#

we are very fucked RN and didn't see any good change

#

what have we got RN

CC general nerf
sprint changes
pvp set bonus removed
crit nerfed

#

anything else?

waxen meteor
#

exsang dm

potent pivot
magic mason
#

Thank’s !

potent pivot
#

i think almost everything is cross faction now

#

except maybe regular BGs/dungeons

pale storm
#

This is just speculation from the tooltips

jolly sierra
#

with that stuff i think we should use cancelaura

#

if we can

#

or just add manuv to base talent tree

#

from blizz part

ruby drift
#

Fuck blizz man. Legit made the worst trees possible

#

Had so much promise until half your points is spent on baseline abilities

dull bridge
#

cries in bte crit 😦

jolly sierra
#

tbh i expect rog changes besides this

#

cuz in first build rog wasn't mentioned in anything

#

hope can be something good

copium

#

yes

#

sub is shit too

#

cuz the last nerf

#

look, even R1 and multiglads here had said this is one of our worst moments

#

now u feel depressed and how rog is atm

narrow tangle
#

I'm kinda new to game and i feel overwhelmed in arena

#

I just wanna achieve 2k before season 2

jolly sierra
#

go ret

bold bison
jolly sierra
#

but

#

why 2k? there is nothing there

is not 2k1?

narrow tangle
#

idk 2k sounds nice

#

personal achievement

#

i could be okay with 1900 or 2100 as well

narrow tangle
bold bison
#

how many games played?

narrow tangle
#

checking

dark copper
#

Just hit 2.4k as outlaw, took 1k games dead

jolly sierra
#

are you full in purples?

#

valanar?

narrow tangle
#

very few actually 51 rounds and 20 wons, i mostly played 2v2 with my warlock friend

narrow tangle
bold bison
#

oh that's cool then

narrow tangle
#

missing 3 conquest gears

jolly sierra
#

ah

#

its ok

#

go shuffle tho

bold bison
#

aim for 1800, elite set for end of the season is a good goal

jolly sierra
#

2s is deflated af

bold bison
#

if you really want to improve, watch your own games back and identify your mistakes

#

you'll be playing against rank 1 players from like... 1600 in 2s lol

narrow tangle
#

i hope to post a before/after at the end of season

jolly sierra
#

sure, will be nice to check ur progress

#

but go shuffle

narrow tangle
#

I want to play solo shuffle but queue times is sad :'(

jolly sierra
#

try using a farming profession

#

and picking plants and ores

#

so u can get gold meanwhile

bold bison
#

if you queue 15 min for a lobby that's 15 min for 6 games - 2.5 min per game. plus you don't need to find a partner

#

it's worth

narrow tangle
#

so i have to watch my own games and try to play more solo shuffle rather than 2v

ruby drift
#

Yeah but ss is hardly a good place for a rogue

jolly sierra
#

at 1k8 dont think so too much

#

mostly are pallys

#

but at 1k8 are the ones which were at 1k2

#

so maybe won't be too hard

bold bison
#

rememeber - you can always outplay other players regardless of your class, them being meta just makes it harder

#

any time you lose, just consider what you could ahve done differently - did you peel, did you do your burst right, did you trade defensives correctly, were you positioned well, did you go the right target, could you have called a swap etc

ruby drift
#

Moreso that zug zug teammate warrior double leaping and charging as gates open and constantly fucking your drs etc

sharp sierra
narrow tangle
#

thanks for your useful positive advices~to all

jolly sierra
#

so is a lot fucked up rn, not only for rogues

jolly sierra
#

there are like 2000 rets at 2k1 atm

#

2nd dps is warrior

#

seems like battlemaster is mandatory

surreal barn
#

Ive had to drop battlemaster to secure kills lol

jolly sierra
#

and what about deaths?

surreal barn
#

Lots of running

jolly sierra
#

beh

surreal barn
#

I really think they should bake shadowstep reduce cd when used on friendlies

jolly sierra
#

same

spring bough
#

doing more damage than a ret in solo right now and it feels wild. spamming ambush even at full CP when shadow dance or subterfuge is up and it works lol

jolly sierra
#

can u advice valanar a little?

vocal surge
#

is Valanar playing Outlaw?

bold bison
#

holy fuck I am so sick of this game

#

I've been on my elite game 7 times today

#

7 times a healer has been going 6-0 then inted the last game with me so I go 2-4

#

and now some godtier SPriest goes 5-0 into a ret lobby and decides to just stop doing stuff in the last game, sending me to bed with a 1-5

#

I just want this to be over

#

I've also gone 6-0 three times today

#

thanks for the encouragement though

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

I believe Prayge

jolly sierra
#

season won't be over till a month

#

u are still in time

tribal badger
#

ret will get more nerfs soon anyway

jolly sierra
#

tbh i expect more nerfs for BM and lock

#

cmon

#

devs

#

do something

bold bison
#

back down to 2337, tapping out

jolly sierra
#

cuz we are still in tuning

#

i know

dull bridge
jolly sierra
#

Vermillius is typing...

narrow tangle
vocal surge
#

Ok

#

Was on my 10th tip lol

#

for Outlaw

jolly sierra
#

ah

#

kk

vocal surge
#

Might as well finish it since it'll go to waste if I deleted it

jolly sierra
#

then lemme tell u what can u do

#

use shadowstep a lot

#

consider using exsanguinate and using it as a second burst window

narrow tangle
#

i can try outlaw as well, rogue is fun

jolly sierra
#

usually deathmark is win condition when is used for 2nd time in the same round

#

try to sap/sap/sap then blind

#

in lower brackets if they trinket the blind u can kidney, that fucks a lot their dps

vocal surge
#
  1. Shiv is both an offensive and defensive tool for you.
    Slowing Poison Shiv
    70% Movement Speed Reduction, 84% Master Poisoner
    Defensively Strong vs
    -Warriors
    -Retribution Paladins (outside of their Hand of Freedom)
    -Rogues
    -Monks (that are running away with no teleport)
    -Hunters (when Feign Death is on CD)
    -Demon Hunters (forces them to use all their mobility to catch up to you backpedaling)
    -Shadow Priests
    -Destruction

Offensive Use
Use on Healer when locking down your kill target in Smoke Bomb. This increases the amount of time you have before having to use a CC option to continue the kill pressure. Not recommended for use against Mistweavers since they're able to avoid you from shivving and Fistweavers stay too close anyways.

Numbing Poison Shiv
12% Casting and Attack Speed Reduction, 14.4% Master Poisoner
Only good for casters that are not in the list for Slowing Poison.

  1. Feint is your best friend.
  2. You can nullify the Warlock's Demonic Circle Teleport (PvP Talent) by casting Grappling Hook at the last second. The game will register you've grappled successfully and will pull you from the enemy warlock's Teleport Circle to your Grappling Hook's destination.
  3. Have a Blade Flurry macro that allows you to cast and then cancel aura it when you want to use Gouge, Blind, or Sap on a target next to you.
  4. Shadowstep Kick and Shadowstep to Ally Macros help a lot both offensively and defensively.
  5. Have a timer for Kick's Interrupt Duration (5 seconds, 3.5s vs Paladins with Concentration Aura, Aura Mastery Concentration = Immune to Kicks)
  6. If you need to kite around the pillar and you have Acrobatic Strikes, hug the pillar and auto attack through it to apply Slowing Poison then grapple to a different pillar (let your teammate know before hand and make sure you're able to get away before doing this) and restealth.
  7. Warriors will try to Charge to you as much as possible and Warbringer hits hard. You can get Warriors to waste their Heroic Leap and Charge uses by using Grappling Hook, Shadowstep, and then a simple CC (Cheap Shot, Kidney Shot, Gouge, etc.) in the middle of their charge animation.
  8. You can stop The Hunt by CCing the Demon Hunter before they make impact with you. If you Shadowstep or Grapple Hook away, there is a good delay before the damage is applied to you once the Demon Hunter reaches your Target Point.
jolly sierra
#

consider using gouge too, u can shadowstep, jump and turn to healer face and cc him

#

if u have an enemy in low hp

#

u can kidney the healer instead

#

will be more pressuring in that context

narrow tangle
#

about 2, I didn't know feint is that useful I took cheat death talent instead pepenoted i should change to elusiveness i believe

jolly sierra
#

nah

#

use cheat

#

is ok

#

even high ranked rogues were using it till pre 10.0.7

#

dunno about now atm

vocal surge
#

Feint's still good to use

#

reduces damage from AOE abilities

#

Blade Storm, Final Verdict, Divine Storm, etc.

jolly sierra
#

in that context yeah

#

u can even use it w spear

#

if u are cornered

vocal surge
#

Ye

jolly sierra
#

try dotting 2 targets too

#

to keep the pressure

#

if u use cheat death

#

try holding it until u are unable to

#

abuse pillar gaming, if u have kidney up try baiting one of them behind a pillar and kidney them

dull bridge
#

which expansion is the fastest to level through

#

i need to level my, uhhh, second rogue

vocal surge
#

just spam Timewalking Dungeons

potent pivot
#

all the zones near Cataclysm Undercity

#

WoD intro quests at a certain level

#

lots of guides to leveling on YT

#

can also pay like 200k to get lvl boosting i think

jolly sierra
#

go timewalking

#

and look for desmephisto speedrun routes

waxen meteor
#

i don't know how you guys get high CR as ret

#

i am doing 1 hour queues

#

yesterday, close to 45 mins queue, i dropped and slept..

#

today... it feels the same...

#

so far..

jolly sierra
#

with patience

#

the queues were for 1h, yeah, but worth the wait

waxen meteor
#

ok got a healer 06 lobby

#

not fun at all

#

monk just autodies all game

jolly sierra
#

xdddddddddddd

#

so u ended 3-3?

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

it wasnt really a fight

#

heal monk just auto die every game

#

was a Demo/Feral/Bird/Ret lobby

spring bough
#

2 back to back ques with 3 ret paladins. can they like update the que algorithm to not do that pls lol

waxen meteor
#

the problem is only ret are queueing

#

it's a meta queue game now pff

vocal surge
#

Anyone here got PTR 10.1?

ashen sparrow
#

I’m pretty new. Is there a website I can’t find with resources for capturing stuff in battlegrounds? Like how to do it against what classes etc?

potent pivot
#

or if you have any questions about how to handle specific classes you can try asking here

#

idk of any written BG guides

ashen sparrow
#

Ok. I will look at YouTube more. A lot of the guides are 2 plus years old. Are they still semi relevant?

jolly sierra
#

this tabard looks fkn good w antorus HC/furious glad pally set

#

def will go like this for pvp

potent pivot
#

damage outputs and other smaller things have changed, especially with the new talent trees etc

#

but if you can find any BG guides from Shadowlands or Dragonflight they should be pretty relevant for general learning information

jolly sierra
#

we can give you tips about what to do too

potent pivot
#

indeed

jolly sierra
#

i have a doubt

#

if u shiv a druid and he shapeshifts

#

does the shiv slow and eff itself dissapear?

vocal surge
#

S2 Outlaw's Stat Prio for the 10.1 set seems to be more haste oriented

potent pivot
#

tbh i think outlaw s2 will be a mix of haste > mastery > crit

#

outlaw mastery is a lot better than it was in SL

jolly sierra
#

is mastery even good for outlaw?

#

thought u guys always considered it shit

potent pivot
#

it's still like

#

meh

#

and it doesn't really affect gameplay at all, even less so than sub or sin's mastery

vocal surge
#

I dont feel like mastery is good

potent pivot
#

but with crit being nerfed, and haste being kinda w/e i think outlaw will want a mix of all 3

vocal surge
#

Still feels good to go Haste > Crit > Mastery

potent pivot
#

have you tested it

vocal surge
#

Im in PTR

potent pivot
#

main gauche does decent dam

vocal surge
#

and im playing around the set bonus

potent pivot
#

mm

vocal surge
#

Main Gauche does 4k damage

#

on tooltip

#

2.6k ingame

#

with as much Mastery possible

jolly sierra
#

do u have anything to dispell bleedings in ptr vermi?

#

any char

#

i say

vocal surge
#

7,488 Damage on Tooltip

#

7,768 Crit Damage

potent pivot
#

yeh it's not all about how much damage 1 hit does

#

outlaw is all about consistent dmg typically

jolly sierra
#

i need to test the tier too

#

but with a dispell

vocal surge
#

Ye

#

But still

#

im sacrificing a lot of crit and haste

#

to raise what's normally one of the lowest damage source

#

Soulrip didn't reach the DPS that I had when going Haste > Crit > Mastery

jolly sierra
#

i'll update ptr and log in

vocal surge
#

For enchants

jolly sierra
#

ah nvm got a better idea

vocal surge
#

Its probably better to go Crit or Haste

#

and Crit/Haste gems

#

since we're almost at 40% versatility

jolly sierra
#

vermi can u wait me in ptr? to test this too?

vocal surge
#

How long?

#

I have 45mins before I got to go to work

jolly sierra
#

15m max, this shit need to update

vocal surge
#

Ok

jolly sierra
#

and didn't open yet lol

vocal surge
#

Im on Lycanthoth

jolly sierra
#

#

hope this shit updates soon

#

#

#

nice

vocal surge
#

ok

jolly sierra
#

its over

#

it triggers at dispell

#

this will be good shit for future

#

wanna practise something?

vocal surge
#

Sure

#

also wanted to test

#

which is stronger on an actual player

#

2/2 4/0 or 0/4

jolly sierra
#

ah sure

#

its ok if i use my current set instead the new?

vocal surge
#

Starting with 0/4

jolly sierra
#

too lazy to get the other one

vocal surge
#

Sure

jolly sierra
#

kk duel

#

shit

vocal surge
#

x)

jolly sierra
#

now, macros fucked up w lang switch

vocal surge
#

jolly sierra
#

#

from available languages here

#

so i disabled all

#

duel again

vocal surge
#

Ah

#

same set

#

or 2/2

jolly sierra
#

now

vocal surge
#

Soulrip's doing 3500 - 6000

#

w. 14k Soulreaves

jolly sierra
#

hmm

#

did u checked details overall dmg?

vocal surge
#

Details not working

#

for me

#

even w. the updated one

jolly sierra
#

fuck

#

well

#

anything interesting to say?

vocal surge
#

Soulrip does more damage

#

with 2/2

#

gonna retry

#

since I started without AR

jolly sierra
#

sure

vocal surge
#

rip toys lol

jolly sierra
#

XD

vocal surge
#

2/2 is decent

jolly sierra
#

what about 4/4?

vocal surge
#

4/0?

#

Soulrip btw

#

was doing 7,000 - 10,000 per tick

jolly sierra
#

ah yeah

#

4/0

vocal surge
#

It hits decently hard

#

gonna retry 0/4

jolly sierra
#

gotcha

#

shit

vocal surge
#

Which one do you feel hits harder

jolly sierra
#

i wanna having recount w me

#

to check that

#

XD

vocal surge
#

Does it work?

jolly sierra
#

dunno

#

but if i need to think

#

4/0 from the new one is better

#

cuz will be upgraded w new ilvl

vocal surge
#

Recount works

#

pog

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

the new one is good af

vocal surge
#

33k DPS

jolly sierra
#

mix 2/2 again

#

now u can check dmg

vocal surge
#

Ok

#

42.5k DPS

jolly sierra
#

wanna check again, i didn't healed well

vocal surge
#

Ok

jolly sierra
#

30s

#

and i have bop

#

to do a reset

#

go

#

crap

vocal surge
#

42k DPS

jolly sierra
#

felt more pressuring

#

wtf

vocal surge
#

and thats

#

2/2

#

2p 10.0

#

2p 10.1

#

lol

jolly sierra
#

test again 4/0

vocal surge
#

the full set 10.1?

jolly sierra
#

ye

vocal surge
#

50s

#

till AR is up

jolly sierra
#

kk

vocal surge
#

Wish we had punching turnip

#

lol

jolly sierra
#

i have one

vocal surge
#

10s

#

Ready?

jolly sierra
#

go

vocal surge
#

36k DPS

jolly sierra
#

the dmg is more reactable

#

2/2 has worse counterable dmg tho

vocal surge
#

Really?

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

lets test a last time

#

i have bubble

#

to reset

#

now

#

how much?

vocal surge
#

33k

jolly sierra
#

that in 1 reset

vocal surge
#

Yee

jolly sierra
#

so, ur conclusion?

vocal surge
#

Its not worth rushing 4p 10.1

#

just 2p from both

jolly sierra
#

good conclusion from u

#

think the same

vocal surge
#

Soulreave requires build up from Soulrip to do damage

#

but issue is we're losing a ton of good damage from the 2p and 4p from the previous tier

#

lol

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

the 2set did a very good job w dmg

#

from both tiers

vocal surge
#

Yeee

#

Also should mention

#

We spam ambush in 2p/2p

#

in Subterfuge and Shadow Dance

#

and only Dispatch when we're low on energy

jolly sierra
#

ahh gotcha

#

u will be good then

#

in s2

#

but hope

vocal surge
#

Ye xD

jolly sierra
#

we can get decent changes

#

for rog

vocal surge
#

Same

#

Damage nerf and CC nerf

#

best we get some compensation

jolly sierra
#

send me a screenshot from ur sprint

#

the tooltip

vocal surge
#

The Maneuverability one?

jolly sierra
#

the regular one

#

unmodified

vocal surge
#

Base CD

#

30s w. Maneuverability and Improved Sprint

jolly sierra
#

they didn't modified it yet

#

w the manuv merging

vocal surge
#

As far as tier set pieces go stat wise

vocal surge
#

S2 vs S1
Head is prio
Shoulders are equally good
Chest is decent
Hands is on the lower end
Legs is bad

jolly sierra
#

think about the base stamina too

vocal surge
#

Yeee

jolly sierra
#

we have like 25 ilvl in difference

vocal surge
#

26

jolly sierra
#

well

#

seems like hc has around 428 ilvl as tier

#

in case we get 1k8 at week 1

#

we will have timegate, so maybe we will just have a wep at week 1

#

also check this, imagine at 450 ilvl

#

maybe will be bis for s2

copper maple
jolly sierra
#

we will see, but if is not is a very patch solution to rog survivality

vocal surge
#

could be

#

adding Regenerative Leech on top

#

and your looking at a Second Winding rogue

jolly sierra
#

hope they fixes our survivality for that patch

dull bridge
jolly sierra
#

in the practise it wasn't

#

this guy mixed 2 tiers from former season and 2 from current

#

and i barely was able to react to the dmg

#

in 4set from the new tier was easily manageable

vocal surge
#

x)

rose wigeon
vocal surge
#

Stormwind City, Trade Destrict

#

Goblin on the Pedestal next to the weapon shop

#

and 2 npcs on the side of the AH for set pieces

#

thats for ally

#

unsure for Horde

vocal surge
#

w. 7% agi

#

in a future build, they're nerfing 4p to 5% agi bonus

#

Soulreaver is unchanged

tribal bay
jolly sierra
vocal surge
#

yep lmao

#

and even if they fix the 2p on the new tier set

#

its still pepega balancing

bold bison
#

I was 2395 last night

#

not sure I can handle this level of tilt

#

never felt so useless

#

just doing setups with piss damage until we lose

harsh steppe
#

hang in there snorkle ❤️

surreal barn
#

That blows

#

At least you got the 🥜 to queue unlike a lot of my friends

bold bison
#

might just go ret

#

then I can play Rogue or SP without tryharding to get rating

Temporarily or for the future

Ngl fistweaving is fun af if you’re just looking to queue something else while sub is in the dumpster

bold bison
#

just for a few lobbies so I can get the achievement then play something fun

#

I did think about fistweaving but I've always been terrible at healing

copper maple
#

Can fistweaving be called healing in terms of playstyle?

bold bison
#

you need to cocoon people sometimes I guess

#

actually I'm touching Ret, disgusting rat spec

#

might try Demo Lock, at least that requires some interesting gameplay

surreal barn
#

I mean you need to bop and freedom as ret

bold bison
#

244 Sub games, 8,524 Ret games across both regions. That Dans and Dark Shadow nerf was super necessary

obsidian moon
#

buff rog dmg 100% still not gonna be good in this ret meta

wintry dew
#

Meanwhile most of us leveling ret

#

I'm one of them.
Couldn't go higher than 2.2 as assa, let's see where I'll be able to reach playing ret starege

vocal surge
#

0 Outlaw Rogues

wintry dew
#

Truth be told, ret gameplay feels amazing

#

(atleast the m+ build that I've been running on the tw leveling up)

#

There's no down time ever

plucky sage
#

I refuse to fotm

#

I'll level my Ret when they nerf it

plucky sage
waxen meteor
#

Ret is not too much different from rogue play

#

Just lack of stealth and step

wintry dew
#

Honestly, ret/arms/rogue(assa/sub) feel super familiar to me

plucky sage
#

I'm glad they got the rework but I don't want to play while it's strong, I have enough fun on feral/sub pvp

copper maple
#

How are they similar? Both burst in a stun?

wintry dew
#

For me, somehow the gameplay

#

That's a personal feeling

#

Idk the gameplay makes sense

plucky sage
#

Well idk , Assa feels like feral because bleed uptime and even then still different

#

But sub Ret doesn't seem similar, to me at least

copper maple
#

Feral has pretty much the same skills to rogue in terms of rotational abilities

plucky sage
#

Like dance cc gameplay vs... wings ungabunga

wintry dew
#

I mainly sub pve

plucky sage
copper maple
#

Combo point builder, a stun out of stealth, a cp spender stun

plucky sage
#

My binds are almost identical

copper maple
#

Bleeds

plucky sage
#

I mean even meld rake is like meld cheap shot

copper maple
#

I've started leveling a druid past 60, but for some reason it feels boring

plucky sage
#

Clone is blind, etc

#

Pve I hate

wintry dew
#

But without cd

plucky sage
#

PvP is fun

wintry dew
#

XD

copper maple
#

I have nothing to press besides rotation and tigers something

plucky sage
#

But I like pve on outlaw and marksman hunter

copper maple
#

And incarn for big dam rarely

plucky sage
#

Especially in pvp

copper maple
#

It's like 3 min cd

#

Besides that it feels boring

#

Ret probably has more buttons to press

plucky sage
#

I like it

copper maple
#

Also I'm still not sure if shapeshifting is fun for me personally

plucky sage
#

Primal wrath bug dam and free big bites procs

waxen meteor
#

Yeah lots of people think Druid boring

copper maple
#

I'll probably level a monk instead

wintry dew
#

I would truly advice people to try ret, atleast level them to 70 in tw

plucky sage
#

And I have 17% bonus speed on druid

waxen meteor
#

It looks most interesting class on paper

plucky sage
#

I love being permanently fast

#

Free roots all day on warr or ret

copper maple
#

I wouldn't say druid in general is boring. Resto looks a lot more interesting

waxen meteor
#

I leveled my ret to 70 before the buff

#

Wasn’t that fun

copper maple
#

But I heard it got screwed mid season with talent tree changes

wintry dew
#

Rework made the gameplay super different

waxen meteor
#

But mostly because I chose tbc mission I think haha

#

Yeah new play is way better

#

As they explained they merged a lot of unnecessary skills and talent

wintry dew
waxen meteor
#

That’s real and good

#

Kill the redundancy

wintry dew
#

Atleast in PvE, the blade of justice talent that spawns a concecration on the enemy (10s CD) is huge

copper maple
#

Idk when or what there were

wintry dew
copper maple
#

The only healer I've played properly is disc and I realised I've got really used to abundance of damage reduction cds. Something many other healers don't really have

wintry dew
#

2 p.s :)))))

#

Is :))))

#

Huge :)))

copper maple
#

I tried holy priest and it felt weaker in the current bursty meta

waxen meteor
#

Hpal is not that fun now

copper maple
#

The healing output is strong

waxen meteor
#

Priest is the fun healer since it has dmg as well

#

Good pace

#

Hpal dmg can be ignored although you need to try to pretend you are attacking for combonpoint

copper maple
#

But it seems to rely on healing increase cd and spamming heals onto the target

#

Which seems fine unless you get kicked

#

At least holy doesn't have a defensive which your solo shuffle mates will run out of lol

ashen sparrow
wintry dew
#

When did you left wow?

ashen sparrow
#

Looking for a few streamer mentors who explain stuff. If anyone has some pm me. RBG is my favorite.

ashen sparrow
wintry dew
#

Rogue was op back then tho

#

Cata with the daggers especially

ashen sparrow
#

Was 2200 in 3s as RLS and my job was lockdown and pressure. Never felt up to me!

#

Yeah. The daggers were amazing!

#

Op not up

wintry dew
#

Mop with both burst of speed and subterfuge, which was super op because you could go in and still be stealthed for 2/3 secs

ashen sparrow
#

I leveled in mop but didn’t hear or play. Irl stuff took over. I know that I don’t know anything anymore lol. I can’t even get a damn sap macro set the way I like! I need mentors!

wintry dew
#

I have a crown in ff14 but not here 😦

#

(mentor joke)

#

You can most likely Google sap macro and a bunch will appear

ashen sparrow
#

Glad you clarified lol! I didn’t get it!

#

Yeah. I will have to.

wintry dew
#

Because you can have the usual /cast [@focus] Sap

#

Or the other one more complicated to write down where you target the nearest target and sap, amazing vs other rogues/druid/hunters

#

Or even the 1/2/3 arena targets macros

ashen sparrow
#

Yeah. That one. I have the sap macro for target and focus sapping. Also. A lot of my targeting macros are kinda buggy. They work like 60% of the time. I’m too new to understand lol

wintry dew
#

If they work 60% of the time they straight up work, you must be doing something unusual for them not to go off

#

E.g: blind focus macro, if you are not in range, you bet it won't work

ashen sparrow
#

I can see that. I also am having some latency issues too. I should just go to target dummies and work the bugs out.

wintry dew
#

That's the best you can do honestly

ashen sparrow
#

Truth. Thank Royal

wintry dew
#

Np my man, glad i could somehow help

tardy magnet
#

is there any dominant rogue spec rn for solo shuffle, or are they all around the same?

#

im kinda hopping between assa and sub, but im not really feeling a difference

wintry dew
#

The best dominant spec is not playing due to rets xD

#

(joking)

tardy magnet
#

i meaaaaaaan

#

i am considering leveling an arms warr right now to be honest

#

but then i feel bad for leaving my rogue

wintry dew
#

Their gameplay feels good

tardy magnet
#

it does

#

but it doesnt give me the confusion that sub does

vocal surge
#

Atm, all the rogue specs just fall when it comes to climbing Arenas

#

I don't recommend ya playing Outlaw unless you really want to try it then maybe farm the set pieces from this patch

unborn portal
#

Plotge I love spreading misinformation

tardy magnet
#

the only problem rn is getting gear for my rogue

#

solo shuffle is an absolute pain on low gear at this point

vocal surge
#

Yep

#

Best way to farm it is on a class like Ret

#

or War

#

theres also the daily 60 conquest when capturing Supply Crates in WM

#

w. 10 characters, thats 600 Conquest daily

#

In a week, you can prob buy 10

tardy magnet
#

the one problem with that is i gotta level a warr/ret

#

and i do not have the attention span for that

unborn portal
#

Pay for a leveling boost

#

People do it for gold you just afk

#

I think it’s 15k a level

#

Or do timewalking it’s like 3 hours of dungeons

wintry dew
#

TW only 60-70

tardy magnet
#

my warr's level 60 so i'll just spam some tw dungs with sum netflix

wintry dew
#

Some cata dungeons have good skips

bold bison
#

right lads it's time

#

Rogue in retirement until 10.1

wintry dew
#

Best name ever

copper maple
sharp pumice
#

killing as a rogue doesn't seem bad at all, but jesus christ could I get more squishy

#

"lol just feint"

copper maple
#

Just hide in stealth

sharp pumice
#

really helps in arena matches

#

especially against demon hunters

#

and now that everyone has a pulsed aoe that will yank you out of stealth

copper maple
#

I see it as a viable strat if you have ret from a week ago on your team xD

sharp pumice
#

ez2400

copper maple
#

Say "ret go kill"

#

And he does

sharp pumice
#

then MAYBE sap/blind healer

#

on a serious note

#

I am just like

#

getting yanked out of stealth a LOT

#

with no damage/debuffs/anything noted by the combat log

#

the fuck causes that usually

gilded sand
#

Is rdru nature's vigil breaking stelth still a thing?

copper maple
#

Stealth always had weird issues at times

nova viper
#

sub playable?

#

or i must play this boring assa

jolly sierra
#

neither assa

nova viper
#

cringe

jolly sierra
#

just hide

minor cape
#

sadge

potent pivot
#

Sub is kinda feelsbadman atm but all 3 specs are still viable to an extent

modern marlin
#

i just learned sub ... to do some pvp bruh

#

why you do this

#

Questions to the room, what order do you upgrade your honor gear to conquest gear?

#

mainhand >head/chest/legs first > rest?

dull bridge
#

main hand while getting set pieces with trophies of strife

modern marlin
#

the vaultdelver set yeah?

#

wait no warmode gear? i thought that doesnt work in arena/bg?

dull bridge
#

bloody token gear can be upgraded to 421 Ilvl tierset pieces

pale storm
jolly sierra
#

will we get updated drakebreaker for s2?

modern marlin
#

bloody token gear can be upgraded to 421 Ilvl tierset pieces -> so the pvp world gear can be upgraded to the lockbreaker set?

rose wigeon
#

You dont use drakebreaker for tier its just for off pieces that dont have mastery like offhand belt bracers

jolly sierra
#

we use it for stats

#

but dunno if will still be good for next season

tribal badger
#

i imagine it will just scale up like all world quest gear does between seasons

#

newly obtained stuff will be new baseline higher ilvl, upgrade to 3 under w/e conq is again

#

but i havent confirmed this on ptr

scarlet shell
#

oh lord i cannot wait for the rogue sets

#

i might pick up outlaw again

#

even tho fistweapons should be used on also sub and assa but oh well

jolly sierra
#

yesterday i was w vermillius testing stuff in ptr

#

2 from current set and 2 from next set is very good for heavy pressure in pvp

#

also, if ur deathmark is dispelled the assa bonus 4 *does * trigger

#

so we can have a best time against pallys, evokers and survs

tribal badger
#

55m in soloq on my ret zzzz

#

i just want me elite mog

jolly sierra
#

keep waiting

tribal badger
#

or 4set 4set would be nice

#

still in half green half blue pvp gear lul

jolly sierra
#

we tested 4set from new tier and wasn't as pressuring as mixed ones

tribal badger
#

on ret?

#

or u mean sin

waxen meteor
#

Think it’s sin

tribal badger
#

doenst surprise me sins new 4set looks kinda oof

#

reducing ur deathmark burst to give an extended lower burst window instead

jolly sierra
#

no

#

outlaw

#

think assa will use full 4 set

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

cuz the bonus, is absurd

#

ret dunno tbh

waxen meteor
#

I haven’t played outlaw once this season

#

I hope I still know the skills

jolly sierra
#

apparently is the safest option rn

tribal badger
#

well laws 4set is actively a dps loss to try to use rn

#

and its 2set is fully bugged so

#

thats not surprising

#

2set does 30% of ur ability damage not 5% but 4set still bursts it like it is 5%

dull bridge
#

i miss duskwalkers vendetta assassin 😦

tribal badger
#

trying to test laws set on ptr rn is a bit of a wash

jolly sierra
#

me too

#

1m full burst

#

F

waxen meteor
#

Rogue Burst where

#

At ret spec tree kekdog

jolly sierra
#

midnight walrus

any1 got some pvp talents for sub rogues i could take a look at?

dull bridge

#

and any pvp macros?

potent pivot
midnight walrus
#

okay

potent pivot
#

Though you may want to check out murlok.io for talents too

midnight walrus
#

yea, i did 🙂

potent pivot

For the most updated info

alrighty! ty

#

Who still has fun on rogue in the new patch?

jolly sierra
#

fun? is a torture

nova viper
naive plank
#

gotta love how a pala just came in world PvP stunned me, crit me 3 times in 3 seconds and insta dead

dull bridge
#

outlaw yes, sin is just yellow feral

#

i'm really bothered by the kidney duration nerf purely on the grounds that it's now literally the same ability as maim

#

in what world does rogue, THE control class, not have the best stun in the game

#

feral gonna be giga busted if that new pvp talent makes it to live

grand haven
minor cape
#

if not on orc of course

dull bridge
#

i don't mean the duration of the cc, I'm talking about relative power

minor cape
#

will feral get a longer stun?

#

or on a smaller cd?

dull bridge
#

currently: kidney has longer duration on same CD
10.1: maim and kidney have the same CD and same duration

#

I'll let you figure out which one got buffed/nerfed

minor cape
#

oh cmon

#

i will hate to play against feral

#

fucking cat will chase me the whole game

#

and dot me with his bullshit

#

and also stun me

#

you know whats also weird

#

that kidney needs combo points

#

and his shit doesnt

#

hmmmm

tribal badger
#

maim is a finisher

#

wdym

#

r u sure ur not confusing it with rake stun which is their version of cheap shot

ruby drift
#

2 iq rogue qq

#

Love to see it

wise breach
#

Maim also does damage

#

Always figured that's why it was 1s shorter

waxen meteor
plucky sage
#

Uh

#

Ok people tuned you already

minor cape
#

never mind me i have autism

waxen meteor
#

wait for team liquid to bitch about maim

minor cape
#

and dont know much about other classes

waxen meteor
#

when will some druid rapes them

plucky sage
#

Yeah but bash is nice, 4s? Free stun with bash

#

But it's a talent some people prefer incap roar

minor cape
#

i dunno dudes i hate to play vs ferals and i just hope they wont be meta

#

🥹

tribal badger
#

feral just runs around pveing everyone n doing 60k dps

waxen meteor
#

when ferals are good we are normally bad

minor cape
#

am i doing something wrong or is feral actually that good vs rogue?

waxen meteor
#

yeah feral nowadays just bleed all field

tribal badger
#

i mean they play different style

#

they dont rlly do setups outside jungle

#

most ferals just do infinite bleed rot

#

no rogue spec can rot rn

#

we dont have the damage 🥹

minor cape
#

i mean assas kinda can

waxen meteor
#

i don't know how to spell dmg now

#

demaeg right?

minor cape
#

but not until a ret will bonk assas

#

once

#

and it will die

waxen meteor
#

not a word in my dictionary anymore

plucky sage
#

Not on the same level as feral

tribal badger
#

eh sin and outlaws rot doesnt rlly do pressure anymore

plucky sage
#

We have basically aoe bleed non stop

tribal badger
#

healers outheal it 4free

#

feral can actually oom people

plucky sage
#

And we try hit all 3 players with it as much as we can

tribal badger
#

ur more effective just being disruptive and ST banging on rogue specs

plucky sage
#

It's like aoe exsang rupture

waxen meteor
#

healer heals your deathmark as well

#

deathmark, alright, i heal

tribal badger
#

sure but ST healing more expensive

#

unless ur a FW

waxen meteor
#

throw an easy CD for deathmark is enough nowadays

minor cape
#

playing vs feral feels like you are on a timer till his bleeds will kill you and you have to kill someone faster

tribal badger
#

it is

#

thats what a rot spec is

waxen meteor
#

but you can target feral

#

feral isn't that lasting like SL

minor cape
#

but assas dies easier to be honest

plucky sage
#

Yea

#

I feel way more tanky on feral

tribal badger
#

well feral can use its walls during stuns cant it

waxen meteor
#

when you got kidney on him, he is going to be in bear mode much much longer

plucky sage
#

I kite kite kite

tribal badger
#

plus skin

minor cape
#

like i just go assas once and he evasions or some shit, i go assas twice and he just dies

plucky sage
#

Bleed everything, kite

tribal badger
#

and bear, u just shut down their damage harder going them

plucky sage
#

So fast

#

Insta roots

tribal badger
#

but they can be quite tanky

waxen meteor
#

when he is bear, y shut down the dmg

plucky sage
#

No one can catch me

minor cape
#

when he is bear

waxen meteor
#

Most games i just go feral when there's one

minor cape
#

i dont hit him?

waxen meteor
#

Stil hit him

#

For Sin it doesn't change THAT much

minor cape
#

but for sub?

plucky sage
#

Yeah but people see bear form and don't want to waste their resources on a bear, so they get off you, and then you go cat and rot some more

waxen meteor
#

and anyway you multiple doting

tribal badger
#

if the ferals camping in bear form he is doing 0 dps

#

is the thing

waxen meteor
#

yeah

tribal badger
#

and ya sin doesnt rlly care about the armor

waxen meteor
#

just straight force him in bear

minor cape
#

oooh

waxen meteor
#

then it's 2dps vs 1dps + 1 semi tank

minor cape
#

so if everyone goes feral

plucky sage
#

I ate 2 edibles for my flight, kinda regret not blasting the entire packet and getting completely whacked

minor cape
#

he doesnt do dam

waxen meteor
#

not exactly but it can reduce your pressure by a lot

minor cape
plucky sage
#

Hahahaha

#

Ya but the paranoia I'm fine with, honestly I feel like I could be 3x more high for this bullshit

#

I hate flying

minor cape
plucky sage
#

You're forced into bear and then your damage just drops

waxen meteor
#

There will be people against training a bear

#

but ignore them

tribal badger
#

if the other partner is doing good damage id recommend swapping targets on thorns tho

waxen meteor
tribal badger
#

thorns does a fekton of damage

#

unless u think u can get a kill during it

plucky sage
#

But a good feral will put bleeds up before bear, and knows he can chill for 10s in bear and not lose damage

waxen meteor
#

yeah it's hard to avoid initial dmg

#

and there are lots of times good feral will catch good break between gos

#

and go kitten on you

minor cape
#

i once thought i had enough damage to kill a feral through thorns, big mistakr

plucky sage
#

Hehehe yea

#

That shit slaps melee

#

I insta swap when I see thorns

#

Not worth the extra pressure you put on your healer

dull bridge
#

a good feral counters rogue for sure, depending on spec

minor cape
#

touch of karma and thorns were those spells that i learned the hard way when i was starting the game

plucky sage
#

Indeed

#

Deceptively powerful

minor cape
#

well touch of karma for sure is powerful as fuck

#

cause you cant really beat monk while he has it activr

plucky sage
minor cape
#

the worst part is your vanish doesnt do much

waxen meteor
#

I think sin is okay against feral

minor cape
#

like his bleeds are so huge

jolly sierra
#

touch of karma is weak

minor cape
#

you dont heal at all

waxen meteor
#

you don't like each other

jolly sierra
#

u can bypass it with a healer

waxen meteor
#

they don't like you as well

minor cape
#

its dispellable?

jolly sierra
#

the redirect

#

yeah

#

only stays the absorb part on u

#

if is dispelled

minor cape
#

ooh

#

thats cool

jolly sierra
#

i talk as monk alt and former main, in shadowlands that shit wasn't enough to let u live

plucky sage
#

Good info thanks Very Interesting Female Panda

jolly sierra
#

kek

minor cape
#

like when i see a monk use touch im usually like

#

fuck it lets swap

jolly sierra
#

nah don't do that

#

even cloak of shadows can hard counter touch

chrome schooner
#

can't*

jolly sierra
#

wut

minor cape
#

wait

jolly sierra
#

u can counter the redirect w that

minor cape
#

touch damage doesnt go through cloak?

#

oh dam

jolly sierra
#

is nature damage

#

and is a debuff

#

the one which redirects the stuff

minor cape
#

i said it many times this chat gives me more skill than actual game

chrome schooner
#

touch of karma redirect can be cleansed

#

yes

#

but you don't negate the shield

minor cape
#

dont play your monk anymore i will kill you on rogue

chrome schooner
#

& it's longer than cloak

jolly sierra
#

ofc not

chrome schooner
#

so

#

you get it applied again

jolly sierra
#

is just an absorb

#

what

#

rlly

minor cape
#

but like

#

its not much dam

#

if its not active the whole time

jolly sierra
#

100% sure the magic debuff was the redirect

and the other one just an absorb

minor cape
#

or is it?

jolly sierra
#

if the monk has 400k hp

#

will just absorb 200

chrome schooner
#

the redirect has 2debuffs

#

one that you can remove

#

the dmg

#

and one that stacks it

#

you can't remove the latter

jolly sierra
#

yeah i know that, but the dangerous one is the redirect

nova viper
#

Its funny. Retri oneshot you in stun -"Pog, good class, good change"- Rouge do the same -"uga buga nerf bliz!!!!1!1!1!1!1!"- OMEGAKEKW

tribal badger
#

u can cleanse the dot but any new damage u do into karma until it expires/is fully consumed will add a new dot

#

cause karma itself is a physical debuff

#

thats why pallys can bop it

#

thats why u want to cleanse at the end of it if anything

jolly sierra
#

or just 1 second later

#

karma takes 6s to stay

#

cloak 5

#

shit
