im aware

tribal badger
#

just steady pressure while playing around ur CC and playing super defensively

#

I know u are im explaining for any new players reading this 😠

#

i assumed thats y u guys were talking about it

tawny kestrel
#

yte

#

ye*

#

u are right

tribal badger
#

law def a bit rough to pick up in pvp for a beginner

tawny kestrel
#

for sure

#

prob hardest out of the 3 when it comes to being useful

#

assa u can tell some1 core things to do

#

sub u just do goes dmg is easy to do

#

outlaw u actually have to try a bit

#

and u still do notihng

cobalt pewter
#

hello rogues

#

Your healer really does have to be with it in shuffle 😂

tribal badger
#

@cobalt pewter bro I watched u play fury into dh/mw and it was enough to make me not queue any of my melee specs in 2s this season

#

hows it goin

surreal barn
#

If not it’s gonna be a weird time

tawny kestrel
#

did a lobby yday and it was me and 3 other high players and we just had 1700 rated mws

#

everyone was tilted

#

very fun atm

surreal barn
#

Yeah I mean what can you do

tawny kestrel
#

dunno

surreal barn
#

It’s even worse the lower you go

tawny kestrel
#

the mmr system is just garbage rn

#

cant have this low mmr

surreal barn
#

If I go 6-0 and had to wait 30 mins for a queue you bet your ass the mmr better rocket

tribal badger
#

climbing as a healer feels gigacursed rn also

#

compared to last season

#

sitting at 3/3 every game at 1700 mmr

#

cause dps completely control the game so 1 good dps just goes 6 rounds

#

and what the healers do dont even matter

#

id love to run into some FW

surreal barn
#

I’ve been in the opposite where it’s mainly 6-0 healer

#

The worse healer is usually much worse

tribal badger
#

ya idk i havent had any healer shutouts against or as healer since last week

#

maybe just facing perfectly matched healers

#

feels like every match just has 1 80k dps dealer that overwhelms whatever healer they r against and completely invalidates any cc/damage they try to setup

cobalt pewter

tribal badger
#

man I got to face a FW for the first time this season when queuing my Devoker last night

#

200k DPS enjoyers

#

think he died 5/6 rounds and the 6th he popped every defensive and ran so I just tabbed to his hunter and killed it instead

spring bough
#

Got in a match last night with a 0 rating mistweaver and instantly the windwalker on my team whispers me to report him cause he’s been throwing matches for fun. Safe to say solo has been a blast these first couple weeks 😂

#

Then had a 1800 mage cast polymorph 0 times for 6 straight games so troll lol

south river
#

How do people even get better at pvp if queue times are 20+ mins and every game is so different :

#

:x*

spring bough
#

Just have to pray to Jesus for a good slate of ques right now 😂

minor cape
#

we were recently talking with dayvaine about symbols cdr talent point in subs tree

#

how important do you think it is with shadowdust build?

#

cause y know taking it requires you to go the ungodly path of gloomblade and you dont get stilleto stacato and first dance

#

😩

#

and in shadowdust you'll probably vanish anyway

spring bough
#

I’m running that rotten build with gloom blade. I dropped symbols 5 sec talent and veiltouch for first dance and stiletto seems to be popping off more finishers haven’t noticed gloomblades dmg go down much

surreal barn
#

First dance not as important as energy regen selection I assume that’s what you mean

minor cape
#

no, i mean extra cp and cdr on blades

#

vs symbols cdr

#

how important is it to have that symbols and stun dr sync

surreal barn
#

With 2pc you take the energy energy regen path or you have too many combos it overlaps completely

#

But gloomblade slaps right now I’d take that

minor cape
#

what energy regen 🤔🤔

surreal barn
#

The first dance is one of two in that selection, take the energy one

minor cape
#

ayo what i didnt even know there was another option

#

but no im not talking about this thing

surreal barn
minor cape
#

i do too

#

mostly from one tho

#

cause first you cheap

#

or gouge

#

or whatever

#

thats why i dont see how it overlaps

#

but i dont have 2p (thanks great vault)

surreal barn
#

With no 2pc first dance is mandatory

#

Imo

tawny kestrel
#

but its better than first dance

#

first dance doesnt fit well into the rotation

#

especially not with 6 second dance

unreal pewter
#

Anyone noticed outlaw 4pc does literally 0 dmg in pvp?

#

2pc as well

#

Feels pretty bad having 4 set do nothing lmao

minor cape
#

cool then im sticking with my bad habits

tribal badger
#

yea laws tier pretty weak in pvp

unreal pewter
#

pretty weak?

#

it did like 30k over a 4 minute match

#

thats gotta be bugged

minor cape
#

btw wassup with everyone saying gloomblade is strong

tribal badger
#

how much damage did u do over the 4 minute match tho

#

2set just does 2.5% of ur damage

unreal pewter
#

I was doing like 40k dps

#

bro

tribal badger
#

would need to see the damage breakdowns, 2set should be doing like 1-2% of ur damage and 4set another 2-3%

#

plus 2.5% agi from 4set

#

its weak yea

unreal pewter
#

I'm telling you its legit bugged

#

I played 30 games

#

every game it was the bottom 2 damages

#

like 20k per each respective set bonus

minor cape
#

well y know tiers are half the power

#

in pvp

#

they have a 0.5 modifier

unreal pewter
#

yes but if im flurrying a demo lock

#

with 10% bonus dmg permanently

#

and doing 20k

#

ur telling me thats not bugged

tribal badger
#

u dont have 10% bonus damage permanently

unreal pewter
#

yes

tribal badger
#

its less then that in pve even

unreal pewter
#

hes stunning me

#

every 10 seconds

tribal badger
#

oh i thought u meant the set

unreal pewter
#

its the talent

tribal badger
#

not the pvp talent

unreal pewter
#

its all fucked up lmao

tribal badger
#

again id need to see ur actual damage breakdowns

#

and it doesnt surprise me its bottom two damage sources

unreal pewter
#

I'll do a few more games tonight

#

just to post numbers

tribal badger
#

i said it should be like 2%/3% of ur damage respectively

#

that would probably be among ur lowest damage sources

#

since its only 2%/3%

unreal pewter
#

I may even have them in details when I get home

tribal badger
#

if ur bteing on cd properly then 2set might be even lower in pvp

#

maybe around 1% since ur eating it with 4set constantly

#

but 4set should still be 2-3%

unreal pewter
#

You're definitely bte'ing on cd

#

GS ps does alot to players

minor cape
#

why wouldnt you

unreal pewter
#

its like 90k crits

minor cape
#

greenskins is the pirates strongest weapon arrrrrrgh

marble oasis
#

real weird question Engineering tinkers what is actually the most veritile one for pvp in general i know they probs don't work in rated because blizzard is boring now

tribal badger
#

they dont work

#

but nitro boots has always been my favorite for rando bgs

#

nothing can keep up or outrun it so great for ganking or fleeing

#

(when it doesnt decide to kill you)

marble oasis
#

😮 what tinkers don't even work in bgs? ffs blizzard

tribal badger
#

nono they dont work in rated

#

in rando u can use them

#

and nothing works in any form of arena

marble oasis
#

yeh figured about rated. nearly got me about rando BG's that's half the fun making people go wtf

south river
#

What's the best way to get some pvp gear? I just went into shuffle with my full pve gear and got gangbanged into the ground

minor cape
#

farming random bgs

#

for honor gear

tribal badger
#

^

#

buy a full set of honor gear

south river
#

Are the sin/sub tier sets any good in pvp? They seem kinda shit

tribal badger
#

subs 2set is very good

surreal barn
#

Subs makes it fun again if that’s what matters to you

tribal badger
#

no clue for sin, i think 2set is very bad, 4set might be ok for different playstyles

south river
surreal barn
#

Most fun I’ve had was S1 legion lol

#

The rogue 1v2 was never more real haha

unreal pewter
#

I got 1600 but I couldn't actually use the mog

#

it said "this set is only available during the current season"

tribal badger
#

the full mog unlocks at 1800 (is that what u meant)

#

but thats an odd bug

unreal pewter
#

I couldn't even mog the invidual pieces u get for 1600

#

even by doing a search under each individual category

#

like go to chest and type "obsidian"

tribal badger
#

ah i havent actually tried to do individual mogs

unreal pewter
#

nothing

tribal badger
#

i just picked the full set appearence after i hit 1800

unreal pewter
#

You just used the set

#

yeah

#

I need to get 1800 still

grave pier
#

Can someone provide me with a macro

#

that targets arena 1 arena 2 arena 3?

#

so 3 macros

trim arch
spring bough
unreal pewter
#

is that why?

spring bough
surreal barn
#

When you dance you’re getting full cbs from a SS tho

jolly sierra
#

at this step seems going full versa mastery is the way in assa instead a tier lol

spring bough
#

Idk maybe I’m doing the opener all wrong lol 🤷‍♂️

surreal barn
#

Try that kidney without first dance then pop all cds with your dance > SS it will fill it up completely

#

(With 2 set

#

Then you can do another symbols into 2nd finisher. If that’s not right then I’m wrong haha

minor cape
#

what happens is you get stunned and now enemy has the initiative

#

😭

spring bough
#

Y’all open with cheap shot?

minor cape
#

i open with cheap on off targets and dance kidney on main

#

through subterfuge

spring bough
#

Gotcha

minor cape
#

maybe sap one cheap or gouge the other then kidney on main still

spring bough
#

I keep going back n forth between acrobatic and rocking subterfuge can’t find what one I like better

minor cape
#

just dont go vigor

#

and take both

spring bough
#

Lmao idk if I can play without vigor I’m just too used to it

minor cape
#

although

#

acrobatic is not so much a necessity now

#

especially in caster lobbies

spring bough
#

I tried rocking just one shadowstep to pickup subterfuge but I didn’t like that either

minor cape
#

but against a warrior its just too good

#

this is what you are missing for playing vigor that doesnt even do anything really

#

like, you get enough for the go anyway especially w symbols

#

on 2p

spring bough
#

I guess so then I could pickup blackjack and the stun talent

minor cape
#

well you know you are already higher on rating now than i was last season so you might know better

spring bough
#

Might have to try a couple games without vigor later lol

minor cape
#

but dw im catching up this season haha

minor cape
spring bough
#

If you saw my play yall would shit a brick with the crap I do 😂. Push at people like I’m outlaw right now still. And just try to smash as many buttons as I can 😂

minor cape
#

sap a healer get 5 stacks of wound poison and the guy will feel like he is healing through the opposite of pain sup

spring bough
#

Then just smash finishers and hope it deletes lol

trim arch
#

15.5kk dmg from SS match and still 2.5% dam from tier set pepe_chad Don't be jeealous SUBs pepe_chad

minor cape
#

laughing so hard at russian ability names everytime

#

why tf is russian slice and dice called мясорубка (means MEAT GRINDER)

spring bough
#

Looks like sins 2pc doing 1% more than outlaws 2pc was doing for me. Guess blizz really accomplished making tier negligible in pvp

spring bough
#

What do I have to give up for that tho lol

surreal barn
#

Vigor is legit tbh I go back and forth

spring bough
#

Feel like I’d have to give up wound talent to get all that w vigor

trim arch
minor cape
#

you can live wout wound

#

🫡

spring bough
#

Oh bye bye wound talent then 😂

trim arch
#

guys where i can watch PvP stats for items?

#

Like Cum boots and etc

#

without test

minor cape
#

hit a pvp dummy

#

and it will show pvp stats

trim arch
#

Are you sure?

minor cape
#

yes

trim arch
jolly sierra
#

yeah hit a dummy

minor cape
#

grind the mage

jolly sierra
#

when i wanna check if some embelishment is shit i just do that

minor cape
#

wait no grind the mage sounds weird

jolly sierra
#

now a real question

trim arch
jolly sierra
#

is safe to stun mages now in SS? i lost that way cuz those guys always used regular blink against me instead shimmer

#

but seems they are all almost using shimmer now

tribal badger
#

i mean just stun them once early in the game to see if they have shimmer

tribal badger
#

or if u see them casting while blinking

jolly sierra
jolly sierra
#

careful with reacts u are using ur mega ones very fast XD

jolly sierra
trim arch
jolly sierra
#

at least in my ret the 2 set is +5% more damage in hammer of wrath and judgment with +7% more crit dmg from hammer

#

but hammer crit is guaranteed talented, so ofc is better

trim arch
#

I saw starege

wary spire
# surreal barn

That looks dope! For some reason thought I couldn't get subterfuge and vigor at the same time.

fading blade
#

Playing Sub in SS is quite the experience

tawny kestrel
#

yeah its broken

crimson basalt
#

Nah remoce secret tech

#

I hate it so much

#

It’s just a free I win button, I don’t wanna play like that

spring bough
#

It’s so cheese though lol. I had a game last night and I’m at like 10%. My CDs came up lined up a CB secret tech on this hunter and it was like 40% to 0 just like that. DK teammate goes “oh my god” 😂

jolly sierra
#

got an idea btw

#

i'll test the tier in ptr again and use honor crests to craft life-giving gear

#

so i can test how much dmg can i do

#

the problem is

set isn't pvp leveled there :/

#

so maybe need to get 4set somewhere else

fading blade
hasty holly
#

yeah this was an assa rogue, ik outlaw has good survivability, just shit damage

#

maybe it’s the rating but it was the world’s zuggiest assa rogue

worn comet
#

😅

hasty holly
#

it was a night elf too

#

shadowmeld would have helped a lot

jolly sierra
#

alright im testing in ptr

#

full 420 gear vs 4set tier around 418-421 ilvl

#

the sample should be ok

azure adder
#

Hello! What kind of strategy could be useful as sub rogue if lobby is 2 warriors and DH?

#

felt really really awful. All of them just ruined my stun DRs whole game and tunneled eachother in middle of map.

tribal badger
#

politely ask them to not stun healer, focus ur stun drs on healer during the big damage dealers goes

#

do ur setup with dance and ur burst during their goes but focus on locking down healer more then tunneling damage cause those classes already do enough

simple crest
#

omg, did they reduce the spawn of expedition sacks with the new patch? ive flown all over Thaldraszus and found one.

#

oh how nice. prevokers have the anti cc tranq bs resto druids have

crimson basalt
#

Tbag them, and laugh at them for playing their class and hating on rogue

jolly sierra
waxen meteor
#

i saw palumor have it too

#

i mostly just open with dance anyway, is it trying to compensate the lose of 2 seconds of dance window from sub tree?

spring bough
#

Feels real nice having subterfuge and ripping off some more shadow strikes and evis to get even more CDR

minor cape
#

or you can meld to stealth to the same thing

spring bough
#

How does this triple cheap shot work I haven’t tried that lol

waxen meteor
#

i feel dmg out of dance is limited

spring bough
#

Gloomblade where the dmg at out of dance

waxen meteor
#

i keep the 2s extension of dance today (not using rotten yet)

minor cape
waxen meteor
#

i always cheap shot two others when possible at end of dance

minor cape
#

just go and stun everyonr

waxen meteor
#

(at open)

#

obviously if it's one melee one caster, it's probably hard

minor cape
#

subter is enough to cheap shadowstep cheap cheap

#

kinda like that

waxen meteor
#

but that means you open non kill target?

minor cape
#

idk works in shuffle

#

🫡

waxen meteor
#

as of today, i do brew and i cheap after primary dmg from dance

minor cape
#

but its not just opener thing tho cause you can meld into it

waxen meteor
#

it's like almost always last second of dance as well

#

it's also time they come out from sap

#

so it's 'great' timing

minor cape
#

im going to be honest i also run subter cause i sometimes just do my dance without exiting stealth and all my dance mqcros break 2ez

waxen meteor
#

Like rogue/mage
Sap A
SS + Dance + Kidney B -> blablabla (DMG or get trinket and cheapshot again)
Cheap A
Dance over

#

if A doesn't trinket, he gets a blind after

minor cape
#

hmm

waxen meteor
#

but that's with first dance and brew

#

i haven't gone rotten yet

#

no tier

minor cape
#

i usually sap A cheap B then kidney A and gooooo

waxen meteor
minor cape
#

and mage sheeps

waxen meteor
#

i am not sure if we need mage sheep for s2 (at open)

#

like when we are out of dance and energy low, better to have mage doing dmg

#

if we are targeting a melee target, mage is also in safe distance

#

imagine a warrior

#

if he charges into mage pfff from stun

jolly sierra
#

to be fair

#

there are not too much difference between use 4set and go raw

#

as assa

minor cape
#

its also hard as hell to play with sheep

#

cause sec tech breaks it

jolly sierra
#

im testing this shit in pvp mannequin

#

and is not nerfing the dmg from tier

#

and the differences are 3k overall dmg in 2m

#

nvm it is nerfing the dmg as usual

#

differences are 3k dmg overall

#

4set vs no set, leaning dmg to 4set

#

can conclude something else

#

is better go without crimson tempest

#

the dmg is VERY low compared to rupture, even with 2 targets

#

those are my conclusions for today

potent pivot
#

Testing stuff like CT on a pvp dummy damage test isn’t really going to tell you much

#

It’s good in practice in real matches, an extra dot is good especially if you’re kiting/being kited

jolly sierra
#

the dmg is very low

potent pivot
#

The initial hit can also do decent dmg, I think the initial hit double dips a certain interaction

jolly sierra
#

in 2 targets is still lesser than rupture

potent pivot
#

You’re also not only getting extra dmg from the CT spell itself

jolly sierra
#

the thing is

will 3k more dmg overall worth for a 4set?

potent pivot
#

Having an extra dot as assa gives you more dmg in more ways than 1

jolly sierra
#

the problem with tempest is than is hard to maintain

#

has very low duration even for 5 combo points

potent pivot
#

You don’t have to maintain 100% uptime

#

But it also gives more dmg from Lethal Dose as well too

jolly sierra
#

remember crimson tempest just do 10% more damage w 2set in pvp

#

the difference is not too high

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

to use it and to don't

potent pivot
#

I mean

#

Think about it

#

What else are you gonna spend a point on that really matters more

jolly sierra
#

hm

#

10% more damage in all poisons i think

#

instead crimson tbh

potent pivot
#

Ain’t no way

jolly sierra
#

think it need more testing from retail players

#

nobody has 4set yet and raw dmg is still ok

potent pivot
#

It could just be a preference thing tbh

#

Prefer passive? Poison dmg

#

Prefer active? CT

#

I know a lot of ppl complain about the amount of keybinds atm

jolly sierra
#

ah fuck them

#

that is for ret mains

#

buTtOn blOAt

minor cape
#

yeah honestly

#

i dont have enough keybinds

#

for assa

#

and you cant even macro shit

#

at least with sub you can make some one button macros

spring bough
#

i would be dead in the water without macros. love my secret tech one does symbols, shadow blades, CB, then secret lol

minor cape
#

i dont have those macros where you press one button multiple times

#

but i have the one that presses all the shit for a go

#

so i dont need to bind shadow blades

#

and badge

stoic spruce
#

Has anyone tested the new outlaw tier?

spring bough
#

its nerfed by half think the tooltip says 2% in pvp. doesnt seem good at all. maybe 4pc will change that

stoic spruce
#

2 pc isn't nerfed

#

Unless outlaw is an exception. On 4pc of everyone was nerfed

spring bough
#

pretty sure all tier is 50% reduced in pvp

stoic spruce
#

its only 4pc

#

its a very common misconception

#

unless this is old

#

some 2pc didnt get nerfed like fdks

spring bough
#

yeah i just looked at them the tooltip stays the same for 2pc. im convinced that 2pc tooltip was 2% on outlaw a couple days ago in an arena. guess im going crazy lmao

jolly sierra
#

they are nerfed, we checked days ago wowhead doesnt update everything after announcements

#

for example ww monk s1 set is nerfed and wowhead said it wasn't

stoic spruce
#

thats the wrong tool tip anyway

tribal badger
#

and the nerfing of 2set automatically nerfs outlaw 4set by 50%

#

thats why it isnt nerfed again

#

the agi is cut in half tho

stoic spruce
#

rip

tribal badger
#

4set damage is directly based on 2set damage for law so by nerfing the 2set by 50% u already nerfed the 4set

jolly sierra
stoic spruce
#

that makes sense

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

dks are saying they are worse than us

stoic spruce
#

they are

#

though theyve been worse than us for a long time

jolly sierra
#

think was since spellwarden nerf

#

just noticed

#

they nerfed the honor gain from SS too

tender ferry
#

Envenom kinda blows so I basically just replace it with CT

raz, question, have you tested assa with the 4set? we are discussing here if worth to wear it or not xd

tawny kestrel
#

honestly dont think its worth wearing

hard to say tho

#

@jolly sierra am not sure if cloak halves in pvp

#

maybe detail addon is broken

jolly sierra
#

remember details check the amount absorbed while u are being hit

#

rather when it triggers

waxen meteor
#

but it could be the addon issue

jolly sierra
#

weird

#

it should absorb like 115k usually

waxen meteor
#

yeah i remember you mentioned

jolly sierra
#

try again

waxen meteor
#

lol

#

it will take a while to get into another lobby

#

i did a 450 cloak on dh

#

was a lobby with dps evoker + desto lock

#

checked 2 games, both show 250 from details addon

jolly sierra
#

wtf

#

broken af

#

look, from a match w a crazy sub

#

sporecloak absorbed 110k while i was stunned

#

btw ended 4-2 the ret was crap

#

monk need a nerf imo

waxen meteor
#

lol i was just doing ret round and ended 4-2

thought it was me

potent pivot

thanks!

potent pivot
narrow tangle
#

i feel like doing no dmg in sub idk why

potent pivot
#

it's always better to play the game and try, even if you lose a bunch

#

that's the only way to get better

#

sub isn't really about doing overall dmg

#

it's more about lining up a kill

#

trying to burst etc

How is a small indie company such as Bleeeezz supposed to keep player engagement metrics up if they dont waste your time?

#

looks like a couple finally hit elite in solo shuffle for sub. nahj ofc did lol

pale storm
#

Yeah and he confirmed no token for tiger at 2.4 unfortunately.
Hopefully they give us another before catalyst, also I hope they increase the spark rate, one a week would be nice, feel like as Sub you’ll end up with a lot of vers/mastery crafted pieces

spring bough
#

i thought they said that was one and done for the season unfortunately lol

#

oh man hit a shadowy duel on a mage at about 50% lined it up with a secret tech and games over cause he had no block left LOL

#

love looking at these things lol

#

300k dmg in 2 seconds lol

jolly sierra
#

met a very dangerous sub in last night

#

noticed it cuz i went w my monk w him to a ret and the guy was unable to react

#

just hit one once and then 1 sec later was dead

im trying thistle tea right now cause i ran a ST sim and it says +6k dps and its rocking in solo lol

is there anything u would recommend spending my first conquest points for? sub rogue

#

got 447/441 weps with crit vers

glacial aurora
#

If u have both weapons, then I would say prolly chest cause it's tier is vers/mast and u can upgrade it when crucible comes out

dull skiff
#

makes sense ty

spring bough
#

wonder at what point in the season we gotta wait until to go 3-3 and gain some rating lol

#

tryna push this duelist today and having to go consecutive 4-2's or save my ass and hit a 3-3 is gonna be a wild trip lol

spring bough
#

i just watched nahjs steam from yesterday and at one point bro is on 2s on his one rogue has 50 seconds before solo starts on the other and he deleted both people in the 2s and switched back to solo with 5 secs before the game started. dude is a robot lol

vivid dove
#

Bro why does all the honor gear for rogue not have the starts you want prio on

#

Like no crit at all

jolly sierra
#

thought u needed mastery

worthy widget

any new sub builds rn?

minor cape

yup you want all mastery on sub

thats old school

glossy linden
#

Ok question about which boots to craft. Would it be better to go with slimy over infurious?

minor cape
#

sub infurious

#

100%

glossy linden
#

Seems you'll get way more mastery off of slimy, but the infurious equip chant is nice

minor cape
#

assa not sure

#

but sub infurious always

jolly sierra
#

assa use infurious too

glossy linden
#

how come? seems you'll lose about 334 mastery going infurious?

minor cape
#

if you are concerned about mastery some people use life giving boots

glossy linden
#

you only gain 66 vers

jolly sierra
#

u care about the effect

#

not the stat itself

minor cape
#

its worth it when they proc

languid ravine
#

do you see my message Randa Pogue?

jolly sierra
#

lemme see

glossy linden
#

gotcha ok so the effect itself makes it worth it losing the mastery

minor cape
#

agility is valued more as far as i know

glossy linden
#

Was looking at Palumor and it seems he chose the 334 mastery over the effect itself.

#

gotcha

#

I'll just make my neckpiece have mastery gems only over mast/vers xD

minor cape
#

dont worry about losing a little mastery on boota

#

but yeah the life giving boots are in fact a good alternative

#

just dont see much people using those

glossy linden
#

would we put any effect on the life giving boots?

keen dune
#

Okay I’m on the worst loss streak I’ve ever been on and it’s BAD

minor cape
#

they have the effect of giving you 300 mastery if you are above 90% health

glossy linden
#

I love this discord. people are so fast and helpful, haha. ty guys

minor cape
#

but better craft inf anyway

glossy linden
#

I have that on my shoulders currently

minor cape
#

do they stack?

#

idk

glossy linden
#

not sure tbh

jolly sierra
#

the thing is most top players are using infurious

minor cape
#

yup

#

thats why im saying infurious anyway

#

xd

glossy linden
#

lol

jolly sierra
#

palumor didnt seem to influence enough that decision

#

and is because agi > all

glossy linden
#

I'm just a huge palumor fan haha

#

xD

jolly sierra
#

i rlly dislike palumor but its ok

minor cape
#

rn its usually inf + life giving shoulder

glossy linden
#

o.o

#

noooo why

minor cape
#

or its inf + signet

glossy linden
#

ok cool I have life giving shoulder currently

jolly sierra
#

w assa at least im using currently infurious + sporecloak

some of these solo lobbies are just not good

jolly sierra

just buy a lucky shirt and keep going

pale storm

Really wish we could get 1 spark per week, I want to craft helm, neck, shoulders, 2x rings with perfect vers/mastery - 12 weeks wait

worthy widget
#

i dont think full mastery is good

#

you want crit

#

at least to a certain %

tawny kestrel
#

why

#

@worthy widget

jolly sierra
#

in assa? why? explain

jolly sierra
worthy widget
#

he playin assa?

jolly sierra
#

you are asking tho

#

still dont know about which spec are u playing

pale storm
#

was talking about Sub mostly

#

feel like mastery vers for assa probably good also

worthy widget
#

with sub you want crit

#

at least to 20%

#

huge chunk of your dmg comes from crit

pale storm
#

mastery is where your dam comes from, buffs all finishers which is your dam

tawny kestrel
#

every sub build crits everything u want to crit anyway

#

so crit isnt rly that good

jolly sierra
#

crit is nerfed by a lot in this patch too

#

mastery just scales juicy in sub

worthy widget
#

almost nothin in a sub build guarantees a crit

jolly sierra
#

cold blood and symbols says hello

worthy widget
#

cold blood is one fucking crit a minute

tawny kestrel
#

if u play right side of sub tree u dont rly kill outside of cold blood goes

#

so

#

if u play rotten u also crit everything u want to crit

#

crit isnt bad so to speak but u get enough of it from 4 set + dagger

jolly sierra
#

u have double symbols w tier too

pale storm
#

you like 4 piece over 2 piece + crafted vers/mastery Raz?

tawny kestrel
#

4 piece is nice yeah

wicked tide
#

what are peoples thoughts on sporecloak for sub

#

after boots

jolly sierra
#

are you sure u need it w double vanish?

wicked tide
#

its that or mastery enchant im just curious on what poeples thoughts are on it

#

its kinda like a mini cheat death every 2 minutes no?

jolly sierra
#

a little

#

its like BFA safeguard trinket to be more exact

autumn grail
#

Hi! I'm a casual Pvp player. Is a crafted 447 ilvl Item stronger for Pvp than a basic honor item or is it downgraded? I ask because it doesn't seem to influence the global average pvp ilvl.

jolly sierra
#

is better

#

if it has versa

wicked tide
#

i think having that also makes u feel better about not taking cheat death vs certain matchups

jolly sierra
#

i take cheat death anyways tbh

#

need all my lifes

spring bough
#

love a 45 minute que for some1 to leave as game starts

#

back to line lol

jolly sierra
#

i got into a match yesterday with 5 guys in my time and all were kicked

#

*team

worthy widget
#

honestly blizz needs to remove pvp gears accessibility problem

#

people would play more heal if they could just jump into arena with as little a hurdle as possible

#

that would fix the queue

#

being lvl 70 and going to the vendor to get your honor set

#

and just making it available in pvp, or a low pve item level

#

then later when u got honor you can upgrade it to normal pve item levels

#

i find it stupid that i have to grind senseless battlegrounds to get into arena

#

especially if i wanna play multiple classes

tawny kestrel
#

its an mmorpg

#

u cant expect to make a new char and instantly have full gear

#

few hours of bgs wont hurt u

jolly sierra
#

could be worse

#

in bfa u had zero vendors for pvp and glad items were from a fkn chest with random drops

#

doesnt ask how was the system there to upgrade stuff

worthy widget
#

that doesnt define an mmo

#

let alone pvp

#

countless other mmos have implemented standardized pvp

tawny kestrel
#

if u want to just be able to jump into pvp then u are playing the wrong game

jolly sierra
#

also, u have AH to get pvp cheap stuff

worthy widget
#

some have huge success with that

tawny kestrel
#

what other mmo has huge success with pvp?

worthy widget
#

gw2, bdos arena of solare, Blade and Soul

#

all those games dont have a huge audience so theres no esports, but esports behind a gamemode isnt an argument for game systems

#

also its just pvp

#

it should be purely skill based

tawny kestrel
#

a lot of ppl disagree with that i think

#

casuals that is

worthy widget
#

wdym casuals

#

aint pve

tawny kestrel
#

im sure there are many ppl who enjoy having more gear than others and doing bgs etc

worthy widget
#

you only got low skill players

#

high skill players and everything in between

tawny kestrel
#

regardless, if you gave everyone the same gear instantly you'd need way shorter seasons

worthy widget
#

there is no "casual" player in pvp

tawny kestrel
#

otherwise the game would very quickly die

worthy widget
#

you basically give everyone the same gear tho???

jolly sierra
#

casual player does exists

#

playing random bgs

worthy widget
#

everyone has the same fucking gear in pvp

#

just getting there is the shit part

tawny kestrel
#

yeah everyone gets honor gear and then they progress toward full conquest gear

#

and once everyone has full conquest gear

worthy widget
#

thats why nobody plays other classes except the one they already geared once

tawny kestrel
#

the season dies

jolly sierra
#

they never touch rated

tawny kestrel
#

until the last month

worthy widget
#

but i say HONOR gear

#

conquest can remain the same

#

honor gear should be free

tawny kestrel
#

it basically is free

jolly sierra
#

XD

tawny kestrel
#

it takes almost no time getting full honor gear

worthy widget
#

it takes like 1 day if you nolife bgs

tawny kestrel
#

takes like 3-4 hours but ye

worthy widget
#

which is just a dumb fucking system anyway

#

make it free and problem solved

tawny kestrel
#

just q epic bgs and afk

#

simple

worthy widget
#

a dumb timegate that serves no purpose has nothing to do in a game

#

see

#

theres the issue

#

you people just see "oh you can just do X boring thing and get it done"

#

but thats the problem

#

why even have to do the boring thing

#

why is that the design standard nowadays

tawny kestrel
#

always has been

worthy widget
#

and you guys condone it by not speaking up about it

tawny kestrel
#

never been an issue until recently

worthy widget
#

always has been an issue

tawny kestrel
#

ppl dont want to put in any work

#

they just want the rewards

worthy widget
#

wow has been like that for years

#

and now with solo shuffle it becomes apparent

#

pvp was always less accessible than pve

jolly sierra
#

god why u complain too much for something its too trivial

#

in pve u need to still grind shit to gear up right?

worthy widget
#

ye but thats the content

jolly sierra
#

pvp isnt content too?

worthy widget
#

pvp content isnt gearing

#

pvp is getting rating

#

and outplaying

tawny kestrel
#

bgs is pvp content for a lot of people

worthy widget
#

and they can still do that content

#

wheres the issue?

jolly sierra
#

then pve gearing is content?

tawny kestrel
#

its like saying that cus u are a mythic raider

#

u should just be given heroic gear

#

for free

worthy widget
#

pve is basically only gearing

#

have gear, deal damage

jolly sierra
#

u got the wrong idea and can check it

worthy widget
#

you are capped by gear, not counting min maxing

jolly sierra
#

dont think can argue too much here

worthy widget
#

wdym wrong idea

#

im talking pvp

#

u guys take pve as a dumb example

#

as if they are intertwined

jolly sierra
#

they are

worthy widget
#

xd

#

to some extend by crafting

#

but they both have separate systems, different optional ingredients for example

#

you dont get pvp gear by doing pve

#

just as much as you dont get the BIS slots in pvp for pve (i know shadowlands had BIS in pvp"

jolly sierra
#

i needed to go MOS M+ to get a decent dagger in SL

worthy widget
#

but they removed that which showed that it was a dumb system

jolly sierra
#

for pvp

worthy widget
#

another point for me, since they separated pvp and pve even more

#

so what was that argument

jolly sierra
#

but i think u are complaining way too much for something is irrelevant

#

and doesnt worth time arguing

worthy widget
#

the argument was 45min queue times

#

make pvp more accessible like I suggested and that could be halfed at least

surreal barn
#

I dont think I bg’d once for my honor gear

#

It literally was free

worthy widget
#

doesnt work like that

#

just bc u playing a lot of arena and had it saved up for next season

surreal barn
#

I consider someone who needs to enter bgs to get honor in the learning stage and that’s a good place for them to stay and learn. If they want to queue skirms for honor the. Maybe you could straight up queue them against others with the same ilvl

worthy widget
#

every heard of UNRANKED

surreal barn
#

Last I checked skirms and bgs were UNRANKED

worthy widget
#

yeah

#

which is why its not even an argument against my statement

#

you got unranked

#

and ranked

#

unranked is where you learn basics

surreal barn
#

I guess giving them everything would be okay

worthy widget
#

having the same gear makes it fairer

#

and easier to learnj

surreal barn
#

I think we should have premade key binds too

#

Where everyone has to use the same binds.

worthy widget
#

i think we should make more dumb statements that have nothing to say or do with anything

surreal barn
#

Definitely.

worthy widget
#

ye like your 10 iq brain does

surreal barn
#

Is that a high number

jolly sierra
#

haha personal attack goes brrr

#

<@&224906552333697025>

surreal barn
#

Blizzard not giving everyone the same gear is the spice of WoW

worthy widget
#

wdym

#

u already have the same fucking gear

surreal barn
#

Like, sure you want to stack mastery for this build

worthy widget
#

everyone crafts the same gear

#

everyone wants the same BIS

surreal barn
#

BiS is an illusion

worthy widget
#

everyone gets the stat they want from the honor vendor that they can choose

#

the time gate to get the gear is dumb for pvp

pale storm
#

WoW is at a stage where pvp is the most accessible and easiest to gear it has ever been. you can also cap your honor/conquest in so many different ways that is supports various ways to play. go try classic tbc/wotlk whgere you have to raid every season and hope rng is good for your gear to drop just to play pvp

worthy widget
#

what are these arguments

tawny kestrel
#

yeah gearing has never been easier

worthy widget
#

just bc something is better now

#

doesnt mean we cant make it even better

pale storm
#

I tihnk they could give a gold reward for healers to Q SS
would be nice to bring back old elite mogs similar to how they do mounts where above say 2k raitng you start filling up the bar for wins and eventually get a token to buy old elite sets

worthy widget
#

finally a sensible argument

#

but that wont really solve it imo

#

the general problem is that healing just isnt everyones favourite thing, its so hard to start out in

tawny kestrel
#

ye giving everyone free honor gear will make more ppl heal

#

facts

surreal barn
#

Do we give out the free crafteds too

#

I think we should

tawny kestrel
#

everyone gets the same gear anyway, so may as well

jolly sierra
#

are u still arguing?

surreal barn
#

You want to solve the healer issue then let people with healers queue their dps while they are healing

#

And keep their place in line

#

Hell even I’d heal if it meant I could hop directly on my rogue afterwards with a q pop

jolly sierra
#

they had an spaghet code into queue section according to a blue post

#

they found the queue time issue but since months are still working on it

surreal barn
#

I feel like they will want to see how many augmentation evokes queue to see if that brings them down enough

worthy widget
#

i think solo queue should just be 1v1 duels

#

:p

candid condor
worthy widget
#

I think overall, solo shuffle shouldnt exist, its more aids to wait for queues than anything else, at least with normal 2v2, 3v3, you were able to find games and gain rating at a solid rate, now everyone just going solo and the other modes are dead

#
  • if you wait for queues you cant do anything else
#

you can maybe play a singleplayer game in the meantime, but not a multiplayer one, only if its casual like battlefield or smth, and even then you have to have both games running.

for the boots slot

i used it for shoulders though

jolly sierra

ah yeah

surreal barn

It’s not a bad choice @light estuary

jolly sierra

right

then u need to buy another one

surreal barn

The best? I think the jury is still out on BiS

there's no more quests for them? gotta spend 700 conq :/

I too spent 700 on the shoulders this week >.<

@jolly sierra so how about 4cp test for sin? You did this?

Should I sell my set items? basegcat

jolly sierra
#

raz is doubtful about using it as i asked him yesterday (has 4set in retail)

#

imo keep it in bank if u dont have 4set yet

#

and just go versa mastery meanwhile

#

maybe dmg is more w crimson tempest but dunno, the % increased by 2set for that is like 10% in pvp :/

trim arch

Sounds like shit

jolly sierra

yeh

but raw dmg is still nice

its something lol

That’s pretty damn close to a hunter too 🤦‍♂️

idk i just spam it out of dance lol

So that evo burst is tough. I swear it 80-0 me. If you can be ready with the feint it helps so damn much

Hard to time it literally happens in a couple secs

jolly sierra

u need luck against them

surreal barn

At that point maybe use a spore cloak haha

jolly sierra

to avoid being 1 shotted and have him being fkn useless instead

tawny kestrel

its not hard to avoid

#

jsut press cloak on their cds

jolly sierra
#

is dragonrage?

tawny kestrel
#

yes

jolly sierra

gotcha

btw, have the cloak with every char but the warr

surreal barn

I’m embarrassed to say I don’t even know the cd on dragonrage

pretty noticeable

My main problem with sub is feeling like i never have time to rupture, sometimes even SnD. I’m always using my cbs in evi or ST when it’s up 😒

potent pivot
#

and the builds we're starting to use press Rupture less

#

once you have 2p and run Rotten you don't really take Dark Brew or Replicating Shadows

#

so you just Rupture in downtime mostly

spring bough
sharp sierra
#

Yeah i was trying the rotten build today. I don’t have any tier since today is the first day i was able to actually play a little since 10.1 dropped. But i’m just in full honor gear. Had to get used to opener so used ti the other one where after CS and a ambush you were max combo. Now i need ti cheap shot symbol and then backstab then from there i was kidney then dance evi some ambushes cold blood another evi.

#

Tier the same way ti get? Grab conq gear and then use sparks to upgrade to tier?

potent pivot
#

you get 1 free piece for hitting 1600 rating

spring bough
#

gotta wait for catalyst in june to turn conq gear into tier so get them vault prayers ready lol

sharp sierra
#

Another problem i’m having is deciding weather to main lock or rogue. They’re both my favorite classes. I’m definitelt a lot better at lock (probably because casters are a little easier to play on top of lock being ridiculous lol) rogue is my favorite play style but i’m just not good on them like i used to be before i quit back in wotlk lol.

Unfortunate.

you are able to pick any of the tier pieces but its one and done with that free piece for the season
