You say you want that but…

waxen meteor
#

Marksman indeed gets interrupted by rogue a lot

#

Kidney gauge disarm etc

halcyon timber
#

Dismantle at the end of his aimed shot

#

Then tony hawk a dagger like a tech deck off his forehead

waxen meteor
#

Now a lot of free second marksman can do heavy dmg with a rogue behind

halcyon timber
#

Hunter spread propaganda, never liked them and never will

peak agate
#

Man I fucked rogues up baiting them with aim shot to just melt them with rapid fire

#

Don't have evasion. Well yorue fucked buddy

halcyon timber
#

Hunters are a lot like rets, they just only think the game is “good” when they are blowing people up

halcyon timber
#

XD

waxen meteor
#

It’s my new fav these weeks

peak agate
#

Shadow step in to my ice trap buddy.

waxen meteor
#

100-0 people feels really good

peak agate
#

And since I main rogue I catch a lot of them

halcyon timber
#

Flare should give me a shield buff that says first watch and my dog auto stuns youuu

#

Makes sense blizzzyyy

peak agate
halcyon timber
#

XD

peak agate
#

Just a big ass eagle to save the day.

halcyon timber
#

CaMO shuD bE a 12 secunfd cdeee

peak agate
#

And it keeps the healing

waxen meteor
#

I remember hunter does have a talent

#

That allows us to do range ss/evis

#

Even for people behind pillar

vocal surge
#

Change MM hunter mastery to make them stand still

#

watch em get skill Diff'd

waxen meteor
#

Kinda fun talent

#

But very few picks it

peak agate
#

Let them ask aim shot while running

#

Wasn't that a thing before?

loud sable
waxen meteor
#

Don’t recall

halcyon timber
#

I don’t remember

halcyon timber
#

And that’s never ever coming back

waxen meteor
#

But I do remember there’s a funny talent

#

Check this out

peak agate

Send pets out and sit 2000 miles away and win

halcyon timber
#

Good lord

peak agate
spring bough
#

no ty

loud sable
#

i know %400 is op rn but %20 could be nice.

halcyon timber
#

Its not aiming then

waxen meteor
#

Just moving aim

halcyon timber
#

Moving shot!

waxen meteor
#

You got that in Olympic Games

halcyon timber
#

Kek

peak agate
#

If hunters can cast aim shot while moving I want to be able to hit them from stealth without breaking stealth.

#

From 80 yards out

halcyon timber
#

that was original subterfuge

#

we really did do that

peak agate
#

I don't remember

halcyon timber
#

and it instantly got nerfed, shit was crazy

#

original shadow dance also vanished you 3x

#

I remember that shit too

#

was pretty clunky though and that's part of why they changed it

loud sable
#

shadow dance grants immunity to root could be amazing 😄

halcyon timber
#

nah man

#

let's limit the fotm rollers flooding our gates as it is

#

and that's what making the difficult decision of "is cloak worth it atm" because that's literally what it is

#

especially with veil atm

spring bough
#

bout to go and try and cop this all white LFR set since i got the shoulder smoke for all the mogs now. wish that was the elite set lol

halcyon timber
#

having to make decisions on a whim Risk vs reward should be the aim of things which is what our kit really is most of the time

#

people jsut whine about rogue when the rogue prob vanished and some dummy didn't tab target a dog to get in combat and got sapped

#

meanwhile rogue is flying around doing cc and the other classes actually play the game zugging

peak agate
#

time to check out these nerfs

#

Man, Kings Bane slaps

#

Initial hit already does more than Envenom

halcyon timber
#

yeah my stuff still feels good but not ridiculous

jolly sierra
#

i rlly hate hunters rapid fire

#

cuz even if u gouge it

#

u will get a volley

halcyon timber
#

I believe they have hit a point ( further tuning of course is more than likely to happen)

  • we feel impactful in our core kit based on how you decide to talent which emphasizes on various things instead of "only 1 way" prior to this.
  • Extra abilities feel good by themselves but don't hijack the kit and instead are more of an accenting piece to what you like doing.
  • Highly flexible in what you do and it shows how much love Realz and his team really put into this. The class tree has a lot of great choices as well which help in what you're trying to tie in.
jolly sierra
#

from the momentum u didn't gouged

peak agate
#

yeah I think DTB is still useful if you manage to stick on your target

halcyon timber
# jolly sierra i rlly hate hunters rapid fire

yeah i'm not sure what they want "reworked" as they keep stating. Their kit seems to do well. They want people to think and to chain things together instead of doing opressive big ol hits like the old days and that is a mature way of going about things.

peak agate
#

,Aimshot, Arcane shot, Killshot, Rapid fire and steady shot. A lot of their damage is loaded in Aimshot

#

they also get cd reduction for rapid fire

halcyon timber
#

so how would they go about altering that

peak agate
#

Arcane shot is often free

halcyon timber
#

while not "breaking things"

vocal surge
#

Man

#

a lot of people are complaining about SnD

halcyon timber
#

They always will, you can't "make it do damage" because then they take that from somewhere for balance. They make it "passive and free" then it has to be reduced to like 20% or something goofy and then energy problems arise even more and they aren't going ot make abilities slam hard for no reason. It's incredibly easy to maintain for all 3 of us and not a big deal.

peak agate
#

didnt realize he put ironwire and intent to kill in one node lol

halcyon timber
#

oh dang that's a tough choice no?

#

intent is a shorter step right? I'm not familiar with you guys' stuff

#

and Iron wire is garrote reduces damage by like 15% or something?

vocal surge
#

wait

#

is that you in PTR Somatic?

#

lol

peak agate
#

did you boop me?

peak agate
#

teehee

potent pivot
#

finally being rid of EP has even more people rising up against SnD

#

🤓

#

i agree that having to press SnD feels ass, but tbh i feel the rotations wouldn't be as nice if it were removed

vocal surge
#

Imagine if Smoke Bomb became an Outlaw only ability

#

that lets us remain in stealth as long as we're in the radius or until the ability runs out of time

#

while using stealth only abilities

potent pivot
#

it also promotes high melee uptime, which can be considered a part of skilled play

vocal surge
#

True

potent pivot
#

i think rather than removing it, they should add another buff to it

#

like "while SnD is active, you can do X" or "X does more dmg"

#

make it feel good to press

peak agate
#

ep is def gone gone

#

rip

potent pivot
#

ye

#

i mean it's kinda ass as a talent tbh

#

it's just a constant "you do more dmg"

#

just isn't very interesting

vocal surge
#

What is EP?

halcyon timber
#

elaborate planning

#

was a 4% buff to all damage after finishes I believe

vocal surge
#

Ah

#

that buff

peak agate
#

it was 5% before in the ptr and now its just cut to the chase

#

i hardly knew ye ep

halcyon timber
#

question about mm like we were talking about a bit ago.
So why is loading damage into aim'ed shot not so nice to them? seems a bunch of abilities do damage even arcane shot can hit people for like 80k in bgs.

#

or what are they suggesting rather than hijacking our threads?

peak agate
#

4 piece is kind of ass, i might not use it

#

yeah arcane shot does like 110k peak

halcyon timber
#

yeah panda said it didn't feel too great

peak agate
#

and its magic damage

halcyon timber
#

yeah ignores armor and ish

#

so hwy is that bad?

peak agate
#

I don't think mm is bad

halcyon timber
#

well I mean arcane shot?

peak agate
#

if you're pveing I can see why people would hate mm

halcyon timber
#

like what's "off" about the kit other than reeeeeing. It's like trying to understand a kid that is screaming but they don't know because they need to take a nap.

#

devs can't help them if they "it just feels bad" like a 12 year old girl w her ipods in .

peak agate
#

not sure how haste scales with hunter focus

#

because i stack mastery on mine

halcyon timber
#

what's that do for them?

peak agate
#

mastery?

#

gives them more range and damage

halcyon timber
#

right on that sounds cool at least

peak agate
halcyon timber
jolly sierra
#

realz was targeting it already

#

cmon give dfa as capstone

peak agate
# halcyon timber

which brings the question would you change the specs mastery to something else?

jolly sierra
#

hunters goes full mastery actually

#

in builds

halcyon timber
peak agate
peak agate
halcyon timber
#

oh not at all

#

bread and butter is appropriate

#

I just prefer more options for generator damage over "only" finishers and I think realz made a very good compromise while also combining the the past and a very cool duality about us.

#

to me, the sum of the parts together in unison is more important than a single piece. I think there is a fine line on dance and this iteration is solid. You get it back but it's not lightning fast and downtime also doesn't feel like garbage anymore. There are a lot of different ways to build, and I appreciate that, i've been doing nothing but testing and I've only logged on live to do normal daily tasks and make potions.

peak agate
#

I mean you guys have the most finishers so it makes sense

halcyon timber
#

Agreed however, putting everything into 1 basket isn't good in any case

#

roughly things are 65% ish atm and finishers do their job more than well enough and it is consistent over the years for sure.

jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

But where would DFA realistically go?

#

IF they were to ever do that , we all want it but the boys upstairs don't and I don't think the devs want to because of all the "falling through floors because i'm irresponsible but it's stil not my fautl fix ur gaim blizzy" argument.

#

Core abilities such as shiv and all the other jazz you guys listed the other day serve as the buff to DFA (if chosen) as DFA provides 15% on top of all of that for --> X amount

stoic spruce
#

Do we really need it as a general talent though? Are roots that big an issue?

halcyon timber
#

I don't think so

potent pivot
#

don't think they're ever going to change it from being a pvp talent lol

halcyon timber
#

roots and stuff are annoying yeah but we do more than well enough w the mobility package they gave us on ptr

#

yeah they won't

stoic spruce
#

I'd rather old maneuverability if we're talking pvp talents to pve.

halcyon timber
#

Dunno, being slowed again after 4 sec ain't it for me but a choice node yeah i'd agree for those that wanted it

#

I dig the 1 min sprint availability + the new sprint talent + unbreakable stride is kind anice too

stoic spruce
#

Well you don't use it for damage and the root break would be baked into a button we already have.

halcyon timber
#

agreed , it's situational as needed

#

there are times to engage and times to boogy on out

stoic spruce
#

Lmao I like that

halcyon timber
#

That is how we have always operated

stoic spruce
#

Yeah fo sho

peak agate
#

I would want DFA to have the most obnoxious animation

#

just make it dramatic af

halcyon timber
#

lord now it is forever lost to us

#

xD

stoic spruce
#

Idk why blizzards meaning of balancing things is "reduce the CD by X but duration also reduced by X"

halcyon timber
#

it was brought up a bit ago I remember it was something like.

  • it pretty much gave you the same amount of mobility roughly but you could use the cd 2x in 1 min (30s cd assuming you took both talents) but ended up not working as well as they thought.
stoic spruce
#

I was talking moreso the sprint pvp talent

halcyon timber
#

yep that is what I was referring to as well

stoic spruce
halcyon timber
#

It does, they changed it to meet that intent

#

they did it just because , we may not like it but they did

stoic spruce
#

We didn't need more mobility. And if it's the same, why change it?

halcyon timber
#

/shrug I just rogue here man

stoic spruce
#

And that mentality is why people get walked on

#

Take it to the streets!

#

RAHHHHH

halcyon timber
#

prob because someone kept bugging them for burst of speed

#

there are times to lay low in wait and there are times for aggression, knowing the difference is important

stoic spruce
#

I don't know what this has to do with the root removal

halcyon timber
#

some things change with patience rather than noise in a room

#

that's the point

stoic spruce
#

PvP is not one of those things

halcyon timber
#

people reee'ing like the hunters versus an organized and concise presentation of X Y Z are likely to yield different results

#

I understand you though and I hear you.

stoic spruce
#

You 1000% work some corporate job lol

stoic spruce
halcyon timber
#

yep, always an uphill battle

#

I don't work in corporate I just think a lot and I try to see many sides of things

peak agate
#

i think each spec has different problems but I guess thats fair

halcyon timber
#

yeah they aren't a fan of cross pollenation

stoic spruce
#

What kinda blows is now that KS isn't situational anymore, we'll have to take DFA more often.

halcyon timber
#

I'm just happy to see that you guys aren't using it as a defensive now

#

interesting change on the defensive part of it though

#

100% of the damage taken over it's duration or something?

stoic spruce
#

Those it's probably not that big a deal because I got some mega rolls and I get it back in like 10 seconds

halcyon timber
#

it's like uhhh the dracthyr ability that those sobe lizards have

stoic spruce
halcyon timber
#

that's nice at least

#

can you dip into feint with that too man?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I wonder if they'll fix that

halcyon timber
#

Don't think it honestly "needs" fixing though

#

outlaw should have some cool shit

stoic spruce
#

I think it just does Killable damage because it's 8%

#

I don't either tbh

halcyon timber
#

what's 8%? sorry

#

oh the penalty on DB

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

halcyon timber
#

yeah do away w the penalty

#

all day

#

that's just deathwish nonsense for warriors w/o the damage amp

stoic spruce
#

It's so funny because you'll use them together and it's like "oh big dam" and then the next second your health bar just gets deleted lmaooo

halcyon timber
#

jeeze man

#

any way to be successful without pairing them?

stoic spruce
#

Cloak

halcyon timber
#

well I mean can you do well without using both together?

stoic spruce
#

Oh, yes

halcyon timber
#

wait the damage penalty is magic too?

stoic spruce
#

Shadow

halcyon timber
#

ah mk

#

can you feint and then do it and is that a noticeable difference?

#

or is it like bing bing bing done

stoic spruce
#

You use Ghostly Strike in tandem with KS and use Shadow Dance and DB to get it back

halcyon timber
#

ah mk

stoic spruce
#

Was having too much fun killing myself

halcyon timber
#

or can you pre-vial it and then try to negate a lot of it?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah that could work

#

I should try tonight

#

BtE being on the rogue and not the target is so huge

halcyon timber
#

yeah that is filthy

#

I really dig that

stoic spruce
#

I dreamt about it tbh lol

halcyon timber
#

same w mfd

#

wel lthe buff goes on you but the debuff remains on the target obviously.

stoic spruce
#

Right

halcyon timber
#

yeah love that stuff

#

so glad they revived that talent

stoic spruce
#

I get the nerf but it still sucks

#

Yeah same

halcyon timber
#

nerf to db you mean?

stoic spruce
#

No to MFD

halcyon timber
#

oh 40s

stoic spruce
#

Not on CDR

halcyon timber
#

instead of 30

#

oh cdr

#

yeah I dig, understandable

#

can't have permenant 15% and ghostly for another 15% + other stuff

#

prey also got nerfed for you gusy too today

stoic spruce
#

Which I guess it's fair because there's a plethora of combo points anyway

halcyon timber
#

yeah I like aggression

stoic spruce
#

Bro if you told me 4 years ago Outlaw would open with BtE, I'd spit on you.

halcyon timber
#

LOL

#

how so?

#

i'm really not familar with how you guys work

stoic spruce
#

Adrenaline rush can be used in stealth now and outlaw doesn't have find weakness anymore

halcyon timber
#

like I read everyone's shit and can identify stuff but I don't do anything else ever

stoic spruce
#

So no use in ambush

#

There's a use ofc but probably not in the opener

halcyon timber
#

what did ambush grant some kinda AR for a brief moment?

#

how does crackshot work? I've been seeing you guys really rattle off on that and say it's cool af

jolly sierra
#

cmon realz post the next tree

halcyon timber
#

he's off in Dh hell atm

#

poor guy

stoic spruce
stoic spruce
halcyon timber
#

oh i was confused on what you meant above in like sequence of events

#

i'm familiar with FW lol , i've had it for many years

stoic spruce
#

Right but in relation to new outlaw

pliant hazel
#

can you craft the pvp boots at 447 or do u need the conquest thing to put it higher?

halcyon timber
#

BTE is a finisher no?

stoic spruce
#

I sure hope you know lol

#

Yeah

halcyon timber
#

so you have to store up to get that fat new crackshot dispatch right? or how do you set that up?

stoic spruce
#

In opener?

halcyon timber
stoic spruce
#

Or in general?

halcyon timber
#

yeah like how do you guys set up the fat dispatch

pliant hazel
halcyon timber
#

or is that more of a restealth / vanish deal

stoic spruce
#

I think you mean BtE

halcyon timber
stoic spruce
#

But yeah you just make sure to not use your BtE right before shadow dance and you're off to the races

halcyon timber
#

@stoic spruce yes sir that's what I meant sorry. kinda scatter brained atm.

#

oh sick so you get the effects from dance to activate that

#

that's filthy af

stoic spruce
#

Yeah lol

halcyon timber
#

damn realz made some cool stuff for you boys

stoic spruce
#

And it stacks with subterfuge and Sepsis (cringe)

stoic spruce
#

I really like this new sub

halcyon timber
#

wait why is sepsis important in that?

#

yeah we did, I love this as it's very close to old subtlety in a lot of ways and wrapped up nicely for modernization

stoic spruce
#

It's not important. It just stacks.

halcyon timber
#

ahh mk

stoic spruce
#

You give up a good talent for it. Idr what it was.

halcyon timber
#

how does sepsis interract with you guys now?

#

like is there cool combos and stuff?

stoic spruce
#

Not worth

halcyon timber
#

ah sheet

stoic spruce
#

Well for now, it just adds a longer duration to the "stealth" but not by much though.

halcyon timber
#

To the new subterfuge interaction?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

halcyon timber
#

Or whatever you guys call it

#

How does that all work? Sounds cool af

stoic spruce
#

Yeah that Underhanded Uppercut

#

Is the star of the show

halcyon timber
#

That’s vile , i dig it

stoic spruce
#

It's not an active bit it's still sweet.

halcyon timber
#

Yeah like the uhh adaptability? I guess is what im using here if that makes sense

#

Allows for interesting decision making

stoic spruce
#

Can you elaborate?

halcyon timber
#

Like depending on what’s going on you can make different uses of it as an example from how you painted a picture

#

So instead of “locking x in” you can make adjustments based on what you feel is most necessary in the heat of action with those few things

stoic spruce
#

Ohhh yeah

halcyon timber
#

So instead of “buff dispatch by 5%” he made some sick ass talents

#

Dude is creative for sure

stoic spruce
#

Some of the things him and his crew did are questionable but over I'm a fan of his work so far.

#

Except for what he did with DK but that was something else

#

We ignore that

#

In sl

halcyon timber
#

I wouldn’t know

stoic spruce
#

How about we just ignore all of SL

halcyon timber
#

Sl dunno her

peak agate
#

you can craft any piece of epic gear to 447

#

need to pve tho

halcyon timber
#

Oh yeh forgot about that

#

Rating or something through keystones yeah 🔓

stoic spruce
#

Rating that doesn't go down

halcyon timber
#

Mannnn they would have explosive diarrhea if it did

stoic spruce
#

Speaking of explosive diarrhea

halcyon timber
#

Kinda like in madraxxus coloseum dungeon when the rogue stuns you . Had a moonkin freak out THIS ISNT PVP BLIZZARD

#

dude flipped tf out

peak agate
#

rogues arent that bad, they are for the most part really squishy. Outlaw is tanky but doesnt do big damage. Sub cheap shot spam is annoying as fuck tho

#

Assassination is made out of paper

#

not sure why other classes complain so much

#

yes kidney shot is a short cd but so is stormbolt and that shit is range

pliant hazel
#

it's because in every game where rogue exists there's people that play rogue, and people that hate rogue

#

no in between

#

they all get kidney'd once in goldshire and never forget

halcyon timber
#

Lol

#

Im w thief / rogue in every game. Wouldn’t do anything else

pliant hazel
#

dark and darker is the same thing, everyone fkn REEEE's over rogues but you literally get 2 shot in bis gear by like anyone so..

halcyon timber
#

Yeah a friend was telling me the nerfed tf out if rogues there

#

But other crap can just bust you up just fine

pliant hazel
#

not recently they just got a little bit of a walkback but not the skills they needed

halcyon timber
#

Of*

#

Ahhh mk

#

I do hope assassins get a little something soon though

#

Unless the changes today were solid to elusiveness

#

20% is pretty dang good

peak agate
#

based on the stupid dam on ptr, if things stay the same i'll be fine with being a glass cannon

#

im just glass now

halcyon timber
#

Jeeze man

#

What’s the hang up do you think?

#

What feels like the roughest match up as assassination on ptr?

#

Hear me out, what if thieves bargain was for assassination in spec tree but only affected the major defensives + vial?

#

Ie : cloak + vanish + evasion etc

peak agate
#

cdr could work

#

but again nothing wrong with being a glass cannon

halcyon timber
#

I mean feral is similar but has its kit + lots of survivability too

#

Some are hard to kill but a lot panic and get rinsed

peak agate
#

seems like they inflated 2s

#

got 60 pts on my dk

halcyon timber
#

Yeh boy

peak agate
#

78 conquest for 2 mins of work too

#

shiiit

peak agate
#

Frost Dk is a spec that I can understand mains complaining about and Devastation Evokers.

halcyon timber
#

How so? (Genuinely interested as I don’t know how they operate per say other than fighting them)

peak agate
#

ever played a Devoker?

#

its super wonky

halcyon timber
#

No sir

#

Ive only been a rogue since the beginning

peak agate
#

you're kind of stuck spamming the same ablity because you dont have much choice. Your burst is in a 2 min window where you might literally one shot someone. Lastly, you're hella squishy.

halcyon timber
#

Ah dang, I understand they have rotating things like essence burst right?

#

Or i think after reading their tree

peak agate
#

FDK are just slow, no real way to slow down healing. You are succeptable to melee damage for reasons i cannot explain.

halcyon timber
#

Which is odd because plate is what? 30something% dr ?

peak agate
halcyon timber
#

Plus increased stamina and other stuff? Ibf for like 20 or something

#

Oh ok so big ceiling?

peak agate
halcyon timber
#

Right on, i read up and try to get intel and figure out how i want to deal with them . I sift through their talents and stuff etc

#

Do you think if they could tap more into blood’s stuff that would stabilize them or be too crazy?

#

I remember they were ridiculous in wrath xD many many moons ago

#

Evoker is a high ceiling too from what it seems like

peak agate
#

I don't know if DK mains want leech-like abilities of blood in their tool kit. From my very limited and apparently 1700 MMR frost dk experience. I think FDKs are pretty good into wizards. Not as good as Unholy but not bad. The double Melee dps give me problems and even with my 30% wall I start to melt. Maybe bring back DK stances so you can switch into a more defensive presence,

peak agate
halcyon timber
#

Yeah the really good ones are tough to kill

#

Flap around like crazy and pool resources well to heal / do damage depending on what’s shaking atm

#

Does look like a really cool class though

peak agate
#

They new spec (Augmentation) is way better and easier to survive in.

halcyon timber
#

Yeah those mfs can hit hard too

peak agate
#

im looking at the top rated outlaw rogue (because im just bored out of mind) and its European character with 511W - 486L in solo shuffle

#

but 128W - 72L in 3v3. That's... amazing

stoic spruce
#

scratching at the walls for anything

#

really just want DS unnerfed

#

as well as ams

#

then we're golden

halcyon timber
#

What was ds at before?

#

And how is it now ?

stoic spruce
#

nerfed and effected by dampening

halcyon timber
#

Oh yeah yee ol dampening

#

Dang

lofty panther
#

solo rbg is going to be amazing

peak agate
# stoic spruce we do

Well there we go. I have no idea what you guys want. Thanks for the insight though. It's interesting reading what other mains are looking for.,

languid ravine
#

One minute 50 seconds into the video;
Fish you rogues, free stealth detection crystal at homebase

halcyon timber
#

There is? That is kinda neat

#

Like shadow-sight in arena?

cursive umbra
#

and i'd assume that just as soloq arenas has killed normal 2s and 3s that soloq RBG will kill whats left of the RBG community as well

potent pivot
#

i think it'll likely raise the number of active rgb players

#

yeah it'll dwindle whats left of the normal rgb's, but it'll be more accessible for the majority

cursive umbra
#

#doubt, but just guessing from what happened with normal arena

i mean even solo q raised the number of active players in pvp in general

cursive umbra
#

you have that data? cuz it has killed all of my community 🙂

potent pivot
#

you'd be surprised how daunting it is for casuals to q even for rgb's when they have to go through the selection process, with all the metas and toxicity

cursive umbra
#

same as normal arena then

potent pivot
#

solo q is kinda just the future of the game

#

yeah q times suck - but that's not solo q's fault in and of itself

#

that's another issue entirely really

cursive umbra
#

i wouldnt say they are not connected but yes there are other issues

potent pivot
#

i mean ofc

#

but if you look at basically all other pvp games, they run solo q's quite successfully

#

blizz just needs to figure out how to make that happen kekdog

exotic dove
#

I used to have mixed feelings about solo shuffle but then I end up qing it a crap ton that I don't want to admit how much here lol. I also think it was a success for Blizzard after they said it so I have no doubt Rated RBG solo queue will be as well. Although reg RBGs might die cause of it since unlike 3s and 2s it doesnt have the pop to survive like 3s or 2s did imo

#

Hopefully the healer to dps ratio gets more even so dps queues aren't long in the future

#

what are you guys going for/looking forward to in 10.2 in terms of spec?

#

context: i quit sin back in mid season 1 and thinking to try it again and dunno what to prepare for - sin or outlaw (i don't click with sub)

proven kayak
#

Am I the only one who hates outlaw ?

wary spire
#

Yes.

#

Granted I haven't even played it.

#

Coz it did 0 damage.

tame rivet
#

i dont vibe with that either but a mate said the spec is hella fun but just doesnt do any dmg currently 😅

quaint cedar
#

After the damage buffs outlaw does good damage on live

#

If you screw up the rotation or get really bad RNG then you will do 0 damage

#

Outlaw is really fun once you get the hang of it

cursive umbra
#

Outlaw is another weird addition by blizzard. Same as SV hunter. Just fcking roll a normal melee then. Doesnt feel like rogue

quaint cedar
#

Honestly outlaw plays more like a rogue than sin does

#

You have dance and generally need to win with good setups

#

It just doesn't have burst like sub does

teal bridge

why i cant use this guy?

#

I see, and is sin worth trying this season? I feel inclined to but everyone says it just sucks

quaint cedar
#

I don't play sin so maybe someone else can chime in but my understanding is that it's viable but it's the weakest rogue spec currently

halcyon timber
#

Outlaw is a rogue though , they are one of us

#

Nothing “less rogue” about them

Envenom hits are more keeping the buff ups. Certain ccs remove your bleeds outright. It's amazing when someone runs around a piller to die to bleeds tho.

#

The new round of comments in the forums be different

#

Comparing rogues to paladins is not really a good comparison

#

Paladins are more rogue than Paladins imo

#

than rogues are to paladin

quaint cedar
#

I feel like a lot the feedback thread is devolving into stuff that just isn't helpful

vocal surge
#

Yeah

quaint cedar
#

Like people whining about dance on outlaw.

vocal surge
#

the Slice and Dice argument for Outlaw falls flat when it comes to PvP

#

because SnD is optional in 10.2

jolly sierra
#

they plagiarized our combo points with crusader strike combo

quaint cedar
#

Realz made it clear it isn't going anywhere, as if that wasn't already obvious enough by all the new talents added based around stealth mechanics

#

Dunno why people keep arguing about it

vocal surge
#

You only really press SnD to maintain Recuperation assuming you go Crit/Haste

quaint cedar
#

Or like the people saying "go back to combat". How is that useful feedback? lol

vocal surge
#

and to farm more procs from melee attacks (embellishment weapons or mastery)

#

Yeah

quaint cedar
#

How would slice be optional?

#

It's definitely mandatory to keep up

vocal surge
#

You have enough energy regen to not require SnD to be up 24/7

quaint cedar
#

Hmm

#

I suppose

vocal surge
#

and in your opening rotation its better to use on BTE

quaint cedar
#

Idk depended on the build for me

halcyon timber
vocal surge
#

same between the subterfuge and shadow dance windows

#

Outside of those 3 windows, that's where you determine when to use SnD

quaint cedar
#

Slice is still important for overall damage. Increases white hits and mastery procs

vocal surge
#

Ye

#

It just doesn't contribute as much DPS

#

as your main rotation as far as the results show in PTR

quaint cedar
#

But yeah I don't think you'll be using it in opener

#

Crackshot is way too important

vocal surge
#

In PvE, it's 100% gonna be maintaining SnD uptime

quaint cedar
#

Slice goes up after

vocal surge
#

just PvP, SnD just depends

#

Its hard to fit SnD when CDs are coming back up really fast

quaint cedar
#

In pvp you usually have a bit of downtime that is suitable for putting up slice anyways

halcyon timber
#

Plus recuperator as a small incentive is nice

vocal surge
#

Yeah

quaint cedar
#

Like if you get kited, just spend the spare CPs on your way back

vocal surge
#

with the fights I've had in the PTR

#

Melee makes up ~5% of my damage on average

quaint cedar
#

All my issues with slice are gone anyways

vocal surge
#

with the highest at ~11%

halcyon timber
#

The weiners griping about slice can even pick up control is king

quaint cedar
#

My biggest problem was wasting my opener on maintenance buffs

vocal surge
#

while Main Gauche is ~3% on the lowest side

#

to ~12% w. a lot of mastery averaging at 6%

quaint cedar
#

Idc about that anymore because crackshot makes your opener blast

#

Literally

halcyon timber
#

Shit is sick

vocal surge
#

Yee

#

also we can skip the Slice and Dice talent

quaint cedar
#

So slice is a total non issue for me

vocal surge
#

where you get bonus attack speed from haste

#

for PvP if you have a lot of haste

quaint cedar
#

Yeah been trying to figure out if it's worth or not

vocal surge
#

Its not worth lol

#

I've gotten SnD up to 111% attack speed increase

#

and it just doesn't do as much damage

quaint cedar
#

I think with improved bte being on the table again we're going to possibly go back to crit

that hunter is again at ptr forum. asking remove assassinations %10 execute

You can peel hunter/warrior/monk when you or a partner are in execute range. There is counterplay to those strong executes. This one is different in a very specific and unfair way.

#

nope he only roguehater

tame rivet

isn't 10% like around 6-70k ish hp in most cases? rets get 1 gcd + guaranteed crit for that almost for free 👀

loud sable

This is the thing y’all are missing. You are not absolutely dead at 10%. Living at 0-10% is a huge part of the game right now.

#

he has answer for that too

tame rivet
#

well, in most cases if you drop under 80-100k you either get to max health due to massive cd popping by you/healer or die

i think the game is more like living at 15-30% hp constantly if you're focused i guess

I think I know who that hunter is but this is probably the best neutral response in regards to the assa execute. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/more-102-class-changes/1669923/31

World of Warcraft Forums

That remained a talent for how many years after it was implemented? Dwarves, Evokers, Surv Hunters and paladins can counter Assa Execute with a racial and the classes their abilities which is why I think Blizz is going to keep it in. The execute remains in its full effect in pve still. The 10% change is for pvp only. You will need to hope its be...

loud sable
#

this still needs to be removed from the game, please devs this doesn’t even make sense!

Dks execute takes 5s to trigger and does like 30k damage and now rogues will have a passive execute that does around 100k damage??? wtf?

look that another idiot gives dk execute as example. why not warrior hunter monk? 😄

meanwhile rets in a corner with no ms and still shit mobility: starege

Yeah the Assa execute has to get so op like that in both contents for it to be removed. I believe that is why Double tap was removed anyway

i tested for pve context the execute in a dummy

nothing to highlight in damage ngl

don't think it will be removed anytime soon

glad i stopped replying

exotic dove

I find the best thing to do is just point out their behavior of past things they have said recently too them. Then again it could derail the thread even further

jolly sierra
#

tell him than disregarding a person for his level is not a way to win a discussion if he runs off of points

ah, and to don't flex his rating, that will just make him shot himself in the foot

# peak agate With alter time misdirects...do they need additional roots?

issue with that, especially in low-mid cr, is getting used to the mage's playstyle, some can be chased around like headless chickens while in some cases i just have to wait behind a pillar until the time is right to secure the kill, there's rarely an in-between - and until you learn how to deal with the playstyle, you might've already lost 2 rounds

Rogues weigh in on this:

What are your thoughts on stuff like fangs/ other embellishments Would you think tuning stuff such as that to help avoid unnecessary nerfs.

  • they are optional
  • they probably are accounted for when tuning because potential x damage “could” come from it?

arent fangs like the only embelish not nerfed in pvp?

Realistically, if they truly wanted a fair pvp. All that stuff would be unusable and racials would also be blocked.

halcyon timber

Right however theoretically

  • why buff x on rogue when they can combine x from crafting. As their tuning argument.
quaint cedar
#

Yeah I can't argue with that

#

I like crafting being useful but I also dislike how important some of the embellishments are (especially precog for casters)

halcyon timber

I enjoy custom gear slots and such but if they looked at

Wow rogue did x y z and just knee jerked reactions nerfed us because some goofy luck occurred

quaint cedar
#

At least fangs aren't done goofy wahoo one shot gimmick

halcyon timber
#

Agreed

#

And no goofy maledict or something exists

quaint cedar

It just increases your damage in a very flat/sustain profile kind of way

If that makes sense

Not a fan of Random Bullshit Go! types of enchants or procs or whatever

Not sure if it is also pvp provided or is intended

Well, I played outlaw on the ptr for a couple of hours today and was having a blast. Can't wait for 10.2. Realz really knocked it out of the park with these changes

halcyon timber
#

We can confirm verdant gladiator gear is also ready to test on ptr vendors now

quaint cedar
#

Really looking forward to testing solo Q BGs this Friday too

halcyon timber
#

Me too

quaint cedar
#

Anyways, going to chill and watch some TV now. Catch you all later

#

Keep stabbing my boys

No school ✅

Murder and burn down houses with the boys ✅

Yes sir

#

Its up as of today

peak agate
#

neat

#

im liking haste over crit trinket for outlaw rn

#

on live

peak agate
#

when i was dicking around with outlaw earlier. I found haste a lot smoother

halcyon timber
#

yeah I'm digging haste as well. A little bit seems to be pretty smooth for regen and getting shadow technique procs a little sooner and aids rupture a good bit. It feels kinda like when SnD was apart of my mastery back in the day but not quite THAT much which is pretty slick.

stoic spruce
#

Precog should be a trinket bonus tbh

#

Or another trinket entirely

halcyon timber
#

yeah they had that as resolve trinkets in SL. They had a kiss curse on that but yeah.
Fastidious and Echoing resolve I think it was?

#

Hear me out boys, what if v

vocal surge
#

Fangs in the PTR does nutty damage

#

worth ~12% of your dps

halcyon timber
#

yeah might be the way moving forward. I want to craft those other embelishments too and test them out a lot such as the secondary stats one to see how it affects things.

#

Blizzy: we need to find a way to lure those pesky pvpers into helping the non cc'ing folk in pve.

Blizzy guy 2: I've got it!

[fangs] were created

vocal surge
#

Frozen Devotion does ~1% of your dps

#

depending on the duration of the fight

#

I think boots embellishment loses value the higher ilvl you are

#

unless the effect stats on it scales up like Fang

halcyon timber
#

Sounds about right, definitely need to make a graph with a lot of entries if we were to "truly" compare data I suppose.

peak agate
#

alt 2s and the sudden realization that resto druids are super annoying to deal with

#

now i can try that new pvp gear on ptr tho

halcyon timber
#

yeah multi target garrote silence might be a huge boon to smoking druids now. I've heard those treants heal quite a bit and benefit from their mastery.

peak agate
#

I will def try that in melee cleaves (the talent IC, not silence) because i doubt the casters are going to be close together

halcyon timber
#

I dig it, yeah Ironwire might be the cleave killer if that makes sense

#

that 15% DR + Feint yeah boy

peak agate
#

I also noticed, but it just might be me. Once patch 10.1 came the game's performance hasn't been the same.

halcyon timber
#

like stuttering?

#

I turned off raytracing and played with particle settings and that fixed a majority of that kinda deal (no fps drops). Also Vsync is off.

#

They swapped to a particles as instances for a lot of stuff ( a solid way to make crowds of npcs: Ex is the dragons flying around in valdrakken off in the skybox and in the city)

peak agate
#

yeah I get random fps drops when Im used to playing on 144fps

#

im on the ptr. I kind of like the look of these daggfers

#

interesting stats

#

nearly 900k hp and 43% verse

#

depsite all that my envenom damage is 41k for 5 points lulz

halcyon timber
#

that matches up with what the boys were saying earlier

#

yeah damage tapers off it seems with the increase in item level (this one was bigger in difference in levels prob as a curvilinear kinda set up) Probably adjusted that way to account for tier sets + embelishments/ procs and such in addition to a 2v3 while a healer is cc'd as an example.

peak agate
#

well the verse makes sense, on live I can get around 40% with pvp gear. The stat starts to DR like at 25 right?

halcyon timber
#

I wonder if we can take the pvp gear to Tyrhold and convert it or if a vendor was put in to convert it for testing.

peak agate
#

let me check

halcyon timber
#

I believe it does 25% and tapers off to provide room for class defensives ex: feint.

Probably works something like ((your stuff) + Feint + your versatility - enemy versatility + their stuff ))/ 100 or some jazz like that as a way of calculating absolute values +/- variance of outside forces helping (outside cds like PS negating your stuff on top of that).

halcyon timber
#

ahhh mk, good to clear that up

peak agate
#

I'm not taking all this verse, that extra 2 % damage reduction I'll lose isnt going really change too much

halcyon timber
#

Yeah , kiting and cds are king

peak agate
#

hmm so I see kingsbane dots are criting for 132k

#

looks like a target dummy bug. Meh.

halcyon timber
#

Anyway to test that reliably? Glad to hear that’s filthy at least

peak agate
#

im checking the pve dummies

jolly sierra
#

god guys u are active af now

peak agate
#

pve dummy

stoic spruce
#

rip

peak agate
#

pvp dummy

#

obviously my ilvl goes back down for the pve one but ya know thats just a tick

#

not the initial hit

halcyon timber
#

Which valdrakken?

#

It works on successive applications right? Was that like the 5th stack or something? That’s good if so just wondering why it is scaling very high.

peak agate
halcyon timber
#

Or the xth time it was applied as an example

peak agate
#

its based on how many times you apply your lethal poison

halcyon timber
#

I wonder if that is a quadratic type deal

peak agate
#

im guessing using DTB and spamming envenom is causing it to double dip

#

because it used to share the node with it

#

so you only had one lethal

halcyon timber
#

Like each mh (lethal) + 2nd lethal from dtb + snd

peak agate
#

now you have 2

halcyon timber
#

Versus doing it w/o snd

peak agate
#

well i have snd up too

halcyon timber
#

To see if how many stabby stabbs = x
