you get crazy attakspeed

quaint cedar
#

I did like swift slasher, makes the rotation feel smooth

#

I wish we had more pvp talent slots. Buffing allies with take your cut is cool, just a bit hard to pick up sometimes

maiden gull
#

you take out heavy hitter for swift slasher then?

#

what do you mean with "makes the rotation feel smooth"?

waxen meteor
#

is it today or tmr we gonna have 10.2 content in

tribal badger
#

today if ur NA

#

tmr if ur EU

lucid citrus
#

Anyone got a sub build? Or we going in and testing it all out this week?

waxen meteor
#

Great, excited to try new things out today!

#

the lv70 boosts gave me 424 gears lol

#

I don't really need to throw all 20k conquests on monk to avoid waste

waxen meteor
#

overall i think sub can have a bunch of variance in builds

lucid citrus
#

Niceee

#

Rightt

#

Guess it’ll be a fun time to experiment!

#

I can’t wait till we find those builds and see which spec will be the most fun

waxen meteor
#

I also want to figure out if we need to use wound anymore for sin

#

since we are dropping DTB

jolly sierra
lucid citrus
#

Blood tokens? I think so?

waxen meteor
#

how are people feeling about new talent shadow craft

#

Could someone help me to understand how it actually works?

maiden gull
#

@waxen meteor Palumor made a vid on it

tribal badger
#

during symbols u proc ur new shadow tech more often, u get 2 stacks instead of 1, and instead of just builders finishers will also proc it

#

so like if u proc shadow tech 3 times u have 6 stacks

#

then when u evis it will consume ur CP, see you have 6 CP "stored" and consume those to give u a full CP bar

#

so u can evis > evis

lucid citrus
#

Crazzzyy right?

jolly sierra
#

sounds like a quick nerf

tribal badger
#

servers wont be up for another 5 or 6 hours probably

lucid citrus
#

I bet 2 pm it’ll be up

waxen meteor
#

but i guess it is probably gonna take 6 hours at least

tribal badger
#

yes pacific time

#

i think they said expect it around them

#

id expect it later personally

worthy crag
#

does season start this week?

waxen meteor
waxen meteor
tribal badger
#

when it reaches a max combo point bar yes

#

it will also pop if u hit a builder and u have enough to consume to fill ur cp bar + that builder tho

waxen meteor
tribal badger
#

keep that in mind

#

well i dont play sub, i just know how the thingy works

#

and a bit doomed cause i dont think outlaws rework is that great for pvp

waxen meteor
#

It looks like there are 4 talents in sub tree are competing for 2 spots

tribal badger
#

but hopeful it will be tuned well

#

i mean sub will be good regardless

#

subs a spec that can be played to a high level even when it doesnt do damage

#

just a well designed spec

#

law and sin both need to do damage to really be competative

waxen meteor
#

I am not sure why, but what palumor speaks in his video doesn't connect with me

#

but it's also a bit dated, still have mark for death there

muted abyss
#

is there an addon that shows the pvp scaling for tooltips?

waxen meteor
#

oh he said on PTR, CB Evis (with finality) dmg is quite close to CB ST

lucid citrus
#

^^

waxen meteor
wary spire
jolly sierra
worthy crag
#

But i do believe the dmg would be close. I ran 4set bonus in season 2(20% evis dmg) and it was hitting as high as 210k with cb

sharp sierra
#

has the assass rotation changed completely in 10.2?

jolly sierra
#

nah'

#

u just open w cheap shot now tho lol

sharp sierra
#

what about sub

waxen meteor
#

the way he thinks good vs what i feel comfortable

#

most pikaboo's play style seems a lot more comfortable to me, although i normally change a couple of strange points he put on talents

jolly sierra
#

palumor is the guy which left rogues in a bad state with another players

waxen meteor
#

but overall the general feelings are similar

jolly sierra
#

too much cheesy combos and flexing a lot in his twitch

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

feel like he is creating a bad image w that if some rogues follows him

#

dunno, its like he is just doing that stuff for the follows rather than love for the class

sharp sierra
#

im hoping sub is still simple

sinful ingot
#

Struggling with picking which spec to focus on. I'm terminally a fury main and looking to branch out. Looking for something where I can go 80% of the way with 20% effort, not necessarily what is best but what yields best results for the least effort.
I accept I'll never be a great player

waxen meteor
#

Hmm I don't think rogue is such a class tbh

#

Probably the opposite..

old brook
#

Indeed. It's fine not to be "great" as a player, but rogue certainly isn't going to go 80% of the way with 20% of the effort.

waxen meteor
#

And it depends on the goal, you know

#

If you just want to reach 1800 or sth, probably going DH matches what you asked

#

or whatever meta spec is of the season

#

like my SP reached 2200 ish in s2, I hardly even understand what my talents do, especially last row on SP tree.

old brook
#

When mm hunter is strong, I like to play that for a change of pace. Much more forgiving, esp if you have some positional awareness or teammates to peel off ya

#

Fun playstyle as a change of pace

jolly sierra
#

try a ret

old brook
#

Your place as a rogue is always welcome but it's not as forgiving as other classes.

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

oh i figured bad, my fault

#

lemme correct it

#

gotcha

old brook
#

hehe

sinful ingot
#

what would 20% effort look like?

jolly sierra
#

pressing like 3 keys

sinful ingot
#

I picture it as using "burst script" like blindly following a 1 - 5 keypress sequence every time, or using a castsequence macro

jolly sierra
#

and beating ppl doing that

waxen meteor
#

Tbh Ret requires some efforts to be good

#

DH at 1800 level is what you can win with face on keyboard

jolly sierra
#

but not too much to be regular

sinful ingot
#

I'm pretty good at warrior and aug, using all the utility and cc and stuff. I just think rogue looks pretty cool

sharp pumice
#

Oh hey zercher

sinful ingot
#

I don't like casters

sinful ingot
old brook
#

Good control, good defensives, typically has a meta spec

#

Ah.

waxen meteor
#

Lock is not a tiny effort class i think

sharp pumice
#

Ret and DH are pretty zugzug

jolly sierra
#

rog is cool but is a very big effort for every spec

old brook
#

More scriptable though I feel like

jolly sierra
#

even assa, u need to run a lot while u are doing damage

sharp pumice
#

Lock is very strong but you do have to be aware

waxen meteor
#

There are not too many btns for destro lock, but you are trained 247

sharp pumice
#

Also yes, you will always be a target

waxen meteor
#

That takes a lot of other efforts

jolly sierra
#

if i would have a top for 3 me smash me win specs would be

#
  1. DH
  2. warr
#
  1. ret
sharp pumice
#

Not because you die easily but because they're scared of letting you cast

#

Ret is more zug than warrior now

waxen meteor
#

Well Lock doesn't have long legs too 🙂

jolly sierra
#

ret is support

sinful ingot
#

I tried assa last season and i guess it just didn't click for me. And I've been feral main forever

waxen meteor
#

Normally if i find my teammates bad at handling at kiting in solo, I just recommend to go lock 247

sharp pumice
#

When are the realms coming back online blizzard Jesus

jolly sierra
#

add -zug points w that

sharp pumice
#

That's true you do have to watch your teammates

#

As a warrior you just try to intercept the right shit

jolly sierra
#

a bad ret would never bop/spellwarden their comps

waxen meteor
#

prayge Feral is confusing as fuck to me, I always think there are 10 skills that essentially just rupture

jolly sierra
#

or even use sac

waxen meteor
#

Yeah I got my druid boosted to lv60

#

tried feral on map

#

placing the skills on keyboard

jolly sierra
#

the only role DH rlly has supporting their guys is w darkness or imprison

waxen meteor
#

i was like, okay, this is rupture, it goes to this key like my sin

#

then what the hell? another rupture

#

then what???? another rupture?????????

sharp pumice
#

And shooting lasers and flying around

#

And yeah, bleed them out

jolly sierra
#

pew pew

waxen meteor
#

then i stopped paying attention

#

i should have played boomie

sharp pumice
#

Kinda wish assassination could do that in a more interesting fashion

waxen meteor
#

maybe i will not leave my druid at lv60

jolly sierra
#

have u even heard about dh having just 3 buttons?

#

they embrace the meme

sinful ingot
#

tbh I'm playing my dh right now, trying to cap honor before tomorrow

#

I just still think rogue looks cooler

jolly sierra
#

btw waiting for this shits to expire in refund

#

what about learing to use it properly?

#

maybe u can stay as rogue after all

sinful ingot
#

yea

waxen meteor
#

Rogue can be one of the most effort required class

#

You can tell from skirmish

sinful ingot
#

I was hoping for a training wheels mode to play while getting used to the whole meta-gameplay like positioning and stuff

old brook
#

as long as you're having fun, it's worth the time invested. you'll pick the skills up along the way

waxen meteor
#

There are tons of rogues in skirmish that basically doesn't add any value

#

And there are another portion of rogues just rocks at 2s without healer as 2 people

jolly sierra
#

hmmmmmmm

#

watch shadenox vids in youtube

sinful ingot
#

I'd even settle for playing outlaw even though the pirate theme is my ick

waxen meteor
#

outlaw might somehow relates to warrior i guess

jolly sierra
#

the guy is by far the most didactic rog u can see to learn

#

he mainly plays assa too

waxen meteor
#

kinda funny, i got a guildie mains warrior just started playing outlaw too

#

but i noticed he then been playing monk for more time online lol

sinful ingot
#

what style does outlaw play? Brawler or hit and run?

jolly sierra
#

brawler

sinful ingot
#

what will be my main source of damage?

jolly sierra
#

ambush tho

sinful ingot
#

So the more ambush the better

jolly sierra
#

yes

waxen meteor
sinful ingot
#

So the lower rating the harder the spec is?

waxen meteor
#

well sort of

#

but that's just s2

tribal badger
#

or the worse the spec is

#

its not directly correlated to difficulty

waxen meteor
#

I just figure out it's kinda funny for this

#

Don't they basically ONLY fighting/competing with exact same spec?

sinful ingot
#

yup, prot vs prot

#

for some weird reason

jolly sierra
jolly sierra
#

but are the shit healing

sinful ingot
#

Not sure why they didn't just nerf their healing so they stop being pseudo healers

#

put them with the other tanks

#

heck yes actually. Make prots play with all the other tanks as dps

#

only

jolly sierra
#

the other tanks cant support that much compared to prots

#

imagine a match

#

with a healer, a prot and a regular dps

sinful ingot
#

I was imagining shuffle with 2x prot and 4x tanks

#

Put them in their own little pool

jolly sierra
#

its like a fkn mirror match between control decks

#

in card games

#

zzzzzz

#

alright fkn bloody tokens

waxen meteor
#

don't worry update will take 8 hours

#

you won't refund them

jolly sierra
#

i know

#

but wanna see the gold

#

XD

wary spire
waxen meteor
wary spire
#

Even if you don't know all the small sp details.

waxen meteor
#

I feel the talent description on SP is written in a really difficult way to understand

#

it's like taking toefl exam lol

wary spire
#

Almost maddening, eh.

wary spire
jolly sierra
waxen meteor
#

yeah i had quite a learning curve for SP

#

i never played range classes seriously

#

this is the first season i tried to play range classes

wary spire
waxen meteor
#

and probably because i had no expecation for it

#

I played a lot of games of SP and Marksman at the same time

#

then finally got used to it

#

SP seems really powerful to me

#

At the beginning i was so scared of melee coming close to me

#

and dared only to do instant spells

#

Now I cast on their face

wary spire
#

Do you fish for premed?

waxen meteor
#

Yeah but i do that way later

#

Cast on their face is step2

#

Fish for premed is step3

wary spire
waxen meteor
#

but for SP, sometimes I don't even bother to fish for that

#

especially against melees

#

but fish for mage and lock are important

#

they stop same school for 5 seconds

#

like if SP got interrupted by us for example, who cares... cast a shield on myself and throw a fast heal (that also reduce dmg taken for next few seconds)

#

then bangbangbang again

waxen meteor
#

those casters are bitches

floral crest
#

The only caster I hadn’t had a time learning is boom / disc

waxen meteor
#

but it's fun because i played some of those specs, i know some spells that don't really matter

#

so i don't even bother to interupt

floral crest
#

Well boom is kinda like ele and I know ele

waxen meteor
#

and i see them trying to fish me with those

#

i was like laughing on this side of screen

stoic spruce
#

Oh my God yall are so stupid

wary spire
#

Yes and?

stoic spruce
#

I'm jk. Just starting stuff while I wait for my food to cook.

floral crest
#

Lol no one said we went

#

Werent

#

See I can’t even spell

stoic spruce
#

Lmao

sharp sierra
#

holy moly. is the sub rotation that different now? is it stronger in pvp? hearing mixed reviews

stoic spruce
#

Bro when I drink coffee, all spelling and grammar goes out the window

floral crest
#

I’m on a 24/7 cracked out energy state, coffee does nothing

waxen meteor
#

I think the other day i saw a SP trying to fish me with Vampiric touch, casted/stopped, casted/stopped, casted/stopped for 3 times...
Each time stopped with bigger % of casting bar

#

but i never tried to interupt that one

floral crest
#

Dp is instant tho

#

Ain’t it

waxen meteor
floral crest
#

Touch

waxen meteor
#

yeah the touch

#

broken english problem

floral crest
#

Vampiric touch

waxen meteor
#

google gave me this name

floral crest
#

Devouring plague is there spender that’s instant dot

jolly sierra
#

spending all in pvp chests

waxen meteor
#

yeah

stoic spruce
#

That hand looks like it's got a booger on the tip and he's trying to touch someone

sinful ingot
worthy crag
#

whats looking like the embellishments to pick,

#

?

jolly sierra
sinful ingot
#

But what does using it now get you?

jolly sierra
#

gold

#

KEK

sinful ingot
#

like a lot?

#

I don't do anything for gold if it gives less than 10k

worthy crag
#

its just vendoring the conq gears with excess conq lol

jolly sierra
#

do u have an enchanter?

wary spire
fast cargo
#

is the blue silk lining going to be the second embellishment to run since sporecloak is nerfed?

#

or the new verdant conduit, it gives a proc of like 350ish random secondary stat

tribal badger
#

is the rate of conquest boxes sold for gold higher then the conversion of conq to gold?

wintry dew
#

Americans still waiting for the downtime?

jolly sierra
fast cargo
#

I think the conversion is pretty trash

#

I usually buy the shields for 450 conquest, they sell for 79g each I think

#

Someone in my guild said the boxes open up to 200g when season ends but idk if that’s true haven’t heard it anywhere before

#

Idk if that would be today, or next week when s3 starts but I bought a couple boxes to check since the gold difference between the rng loot and buying a fixed piece isn’t going to make or break my money

sharp sierra
#

are people still taking goremaw in patch?

waxen meteor
# wary spire Wait we're not supposed to kick that one?

well it's kind of yes and no.
SP also have instant cast of touch in aoe form, it's just a general dot they add. Like if our garrote and rupture can be interrupted, we might not choose to interrupt that all the time. The void (i hope my english is not broken here again) is probably more dangerous.
And also these two

tribal badger
#

mindgames and void torrent

#

void torrent is a big one, their hardest hitter

waxen meteor
#

Normally interrupting these are more crucial to SP (I feel)

#

the Dots will be added on you in one way or another PepeFull

#

if they want to add the dots before void form, you potentially delay their burst time a bit

#

but you can reach same result by kicking void form singiing

floral crest
#

If they get a cast off of VT the next one is instant

#

Every 20 secs that is

waxen meteor
#

Yeah

floral crest
#

So it doesn’t matter lol you’ll be dotted quick

waxen meteor
#

and the instant one also has instnat dmg although smal

floral crest
#

Pain yea

worthy crag
shut solstice
#

Hey guys I’m almost done with my LAST semester of school and I’m ready to F U C K.

Is there a 10.2 outlaw guide that were following?

waxen meteor
wary spire
#

Man.

tribal badger
#

gotta wait for people to test stuff

#

not many outlaw content creators pvp wise

#

my hope is not high for the spec in 10.2 either

shut solstice
#

I want to switch back and kill

tribal badger
#

i mean its possible we get tuned well

final kite
#

I pushed to 1560 as outlaw on saturday, terrible damage lol

tribal badger
#

its just very untested, and the new design direction is mostly negative for pvp as far as i can see

#

no more armor pen, the spec is tuned around dancing and vanishing on cd to do any damage now

shut solstice
#

I was 1900 at outlaw but I had to sacrifice my first born to get there

final kite
#

Just wanted the elite set, switched to sub and it was so much easier.

shut solstice
#

ugh that’s not what I want

tribal badger
#

and mastery ate a fat nerf

#

so im not sure what we are gunna go secondary wise

shut solstice
#

Dancing around vanish…

tribal badger
#

cause crits still bad and haste didnt really get good

final kite
#

Vers crit probably, same as pve

stoic spruce
#

It hurts

waxen meteor
#

when there's no priority, normally the best way is just to max our vers and get evenly the secondaries

#

i guess mastery is still slighly better

stoic spruce
#

I'm going to expirement with non shadowdance builds. I know they'll suck but I really want to see how it feels.

#

In a real pvp enviroment

#

War games was too much work

sharp sierra
#

So from what im hearing, sub is poop now?

stoic spruce
#

It's probably still better than the other 2 tbh

sharp sierra
#

Im confused. Everyone says stier on twitch but yall say its crap?

lucid citrus
#

What happened with mastery?

sharp sierra
#

Fat nerf apparently

lucid citrus
#

Hmmm how much of a nerf we talking?

sharp sierra
#

Not sure

stoic spruce
#

That was about outlaw I don't think it applies to sub

#

Unless sub also had a mastery nerf but idr that being a thing

sharp sierra
#

Its so dumb i cant gear other characters this week. S2 vendor gone and no s3 honor this week.

stoic spruce
#

Yeah a week of doing nothing

#

Yippee

old brook
#

A week of running your subscription time up ezclap

stoic spruce
#

Lmao

#

So true

old brook
#

I'm salty is all T.T

sharp sierra
#

Lol

stoic spruce
#

Oh my

sharp sierra
#

Mine renewed yesterday

#

I would cancelled a week

waxen meteor
#

I might try the additional 10% slow talent

#

from crippling

old brook
#

I love it in rbgs. Shiv and step to the next target to pull off your carrier

#

10% will go far

#

Haven't played with the new tree yet. Does it feel more flexible?

#

Just now reading the changes

stoic spruce
#

All the trees feel much better

old brook
#

/lipbite

stoic spruce
#

Though talent changes are subjective

#

I for one am not a fan

stoic spruce
#

I will say that I'm glad we can take the bte modifiers

final kite
#

I wonder if wickers is too rng dependant when you need to go and just wiff.

fast cargo
stoic spruce
#

Rng dependent?

#

The procs yeah

final kite
#

bouncing between ace up your sleeve and wickers procs

waxen meteor
sharp sierra
#

Is taking out target in 5 sec kidney shot still a thing lol

stoic spruce
#

Probably for sub

#

At low mmr

fast cargo
#

If you’re sub yeah, I think the burst test on PTR was 3s if all conditions met

#

So probably in average set up, triple dr cheap should kill someone

waxen meteor
#

with G Bite and Perforated Veins?

fast cargo
#

I gotta check, but most likely since bite crits for like 300k when you have stacks

waxen meteor
#

yeah the talent reads with 270% AP shadow dmg

#

Basically ST is like 17.6% * 7 * 3 = 370%

#

Seems quite a bit dmg and can benefit from Perforated Veins 50% bonus, not sure if it's gonna mean 270% * 1.5 = 405%

#

but it could be quite big on paper

#

prayge looks like a combo that won't last more than 1 week

#

and also benefit from rotten, so cold blood not required and another 35% bonus

halcyon timber
#

Still takes set up so its fine. Other classes do the same and still hit harder

#

Rotten is also brought down, its 21% not 35% in pvp

waxen meteor
#

copium i am really annoyed by thse modifiers

halcyon timber
#

Crqckshot resets for outlaw are filthy, if they get lucky they can fire off just about 5 in a kidney window

#

Modifiers have always been around

waxen meteor
#

yeah but it's easy to be missed

halcyon timber
#

Would rather augment my favorite things than trashy “this is all you can do”

waxen meteor
#

like if you don't constantly paying attention to thse modifiers

#

it's too easy to be missed

halcyon timber
#

Yes but definitely have to as rogues

#

The misinformation individuals spread is nonsense

waxen meteor
#

It's better to build this modifiers in game

#

and potentially in wowhead...

#

the bigger problem is even in game you don't notice that easily

halcyon timber
#

I tested stuff a lot, all 3 rogues can hit in the same ball park with effects. Just different ways to do x but are all very close in damage

wary spire
halcyon timber
#

Yeah have to check and see stuff in bgs as an example

waxen meteor
#

it looks like goremaw's bite is a must pick?

wary spire
#

A talent that is only good in pvp, behind the other pvp only talent, is gutted in pvp.

waxen meteor
#

damn i really hope to pick brew for rupture dmg

#

but i guess it's rotten and bite

halcyon timber
#

Versatility is a big deal too as some classes screw around with low versatility then get slapped and blame us

wary spire
#

Like what is the point of it.

halcyon timber
#

Brew is very good

halcyon timber
#

XD yeh

waxen meteor
#

there are always noobs dead in one sigle kidney and cry 247

halcyon timber
#

Cloak was toned down to match the other embelishments

waxen meteor
#

even when we were glass canon

wary spire
#

We're having a talent rewamp and one of the few new talents is trash reee

waxen meteor
#

they never tried to figure out how to just last a bit longer, just cry cry cry

halcyon timber
#

Yeah people trinket or use defense at 30% and still trinket sap

waxen meteor
#

and they are the people crying most

wary spire
waxen meteor
#

what can we do

halcyon timber
#

Yep

#

At least blackjack works

waxen meteor
#

haha

#

yeah

halcyon timber
#

Tested a lot on ptr and kept submitting it

waxen meteor
#

btw, the kidney 5% overall dmg bonus is gone for all specs?

halcyon timber
#

Till itvdid 100% of the time

#

Yes

#

Only outlaws

waxen meteor
#

oh outlaw still has it

#

good

halcyon timber
#

Yeah they are solid

#

Rogues were tuned down a lot from the start of ptr

#

And classes still blasted higher then so..

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
#

Have to trade something as always

#

Can’t have it all

waxen meteor
#

maybe just brew + bite and forget rotten

#

yeah

halcyon timber
#

Yeah brew is solid

#

Finality brew was very nice to focus on eviscerate style on ptr

waxen meteor
#

I was not trying to take rotten until i realize it buffs bite

halcyon timber
#

Both do similar damage in different ways so literally play how you want

waxen meteor
#

I feel it's kinda really hard to monitor Perforated Veins

#

just running it in my head

halcyon timber
#

Bite is a good tool regardless and brew gives it 10% anyway along with deeper daggers for 6% or whatever it was tuned down to be

#

Yeah pv needs time and its still good

wary spire
halcyon timber
#

Have to be smart with it

wary spire
#

At least for a few weeks.

halcyon timber
#

Tod is nerfed?

#

Not 35%. Of monks life?

fast cargo
#

Yeah I’m sad they nerfed sudden death. I think the health pool at max ilvl s3 is like 700k

worthy crag
#

Dont think ppl would use dark brew with goremaw though

wary spire
#

Sudden demise was nerfed from like 30 to 10.

halcyon timber
#

Oh sd

worthy crag
#

Better just to use rotten and guatantee crit

halcyon timber
#

Yeah sd got sabotaged by that whiney hunter

#

Was indeed strong but yeah

muted abyss
#

mm hunters are already hard countered by rogues lol

fast cargo
#

So 10% is 70k hp, and you need 250% that remaining in bleeds so you’d need 180k worth or bleeds on the target to kill them. My math might be off tho

waxen meteor
#

I think dark brew is just very valuable for rupture dmg?

halcyon timber
#

Circle of life

#

Db is just a good overall buff

waxen meteor
#

but rotten crit for bite looks super solid

#

with whatever remain % dmg boost

halcyon timber
#

10% to anything shadow

Its a solid pick

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
#

Yessir

wary spire
#

I really don't think that hunter did much honestly. Like, we're assuming blizz takes feedback from the forums lol.

waxen meteor
#

i think that's how rupture dmg goes uuuup

halcyon timber
#

Well our guy said he does take feedback from all sources and isn’t listening to 1 group alone

waxen meteor
#

but maybe i am wrong

halcyon timber
#

Deep dive said they are also looking at feedback from all sources

#

You’re right T, it does affect rupture as advertised

#

Always has

waxen meteor
#

It just feels so hard to manage this

halcyon timber
#

Weak aura

waxen meteor
#

Like litreally need to plan it a few backstab in adv

halcyon timber
#

Its easy rhythm if you’re used to it after a while

waxen meteor
#

and once you have it triggered, you can't use other skills to accumulate cp

halcyon timber
#

Correct

wary spire
halcyon timber
#

Its a good multi tool

waxen meteor
#

Like if you reach this at 3 CP, you are basically wasting it

wary spire
#

I might be coping.

waxen meteor
#

well in theory you can still bite it first then kidney

halcyon timber
#

Yes

#

Some thinking has to go into it which is good and i dig it

waxen meteor
#

OK< I need to install weakaura now

#

btbt addon less player is weaker

halcyon timber
#

Yeah im working on an art package for weak auras

waxen meteor
#

Good I have a copy/paste source now

halcyon timber
#

Might use them to raise money for grad school

waxen meteor
#

What major are you on?
CS?

halcyon timber
#

Double majoring atm

waxen meteor
#

Well obviously if it's too personal just ignore me

wary spire
halcyon timber
#

Yao is cool af

waxen meteor
#

and he doesn't have a son yet

halcyon timber
#

I think rogues will be fine with elusiveness being better and the upgraded sprint etc

waxen meteor
#

only a daughter peeposcared

halcyon timber
#

Iron stomach is nice

#

Esp w recupe

waxen meteor
#

Yeah it sort of forces us to iron stomach ish

#

they are not bad

#

even now i think

#

just got ignored totally

worthy crag
#

perforated veins + sepsis life

halcyon timber
#

A lot more accessible

#

Sepsis is good

wary spire
waxen meteor
#

Well now you basically either pick up some support/survival on left side of rogue tree, or you go subterfuge

halcyon timber
#

Sepsis db is filthy

#

On ptr

waxen meteor
#

Do you pick Sepsis for either sin or sub?

#

There are only 10 points allowed from here

worthy crag
#

Itll prob be a personal choice

waxen meteor
#

It's reallllly hard to pick sepsis

halcyon timber
#

I don’t touch assassination but i imagine they get a good chunk from ambush now. Given thst it can deal 90% increased damage as nature bot including the poison / bleed bonus rolling

#

Ambush hits hard as assassination finally after 8 years

#

Mutilate also can chunk

worthy crag
#

Prob gonna be like finality vs dance macab and optionally sepsis or flag

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

Or no dust

worthy crag
#

nah giving up rotten is too impactful unless ur also giving up g bite

halcyon timber
#

Yeah DM is pretty much where old FW went to. 30% armor is 9% damage .

#

Definitely felt good on ptr without DM

#

Going into other options to pick up stuff was solid

waxen meteor
#

Could be this

#

But I don't think it's really gonna be good

halcyon timber
#

It can be

#

Just depends on how you execute it

#

Different style of play

waxen meteor
#

More finisher style

halcyon timber
#

Yessir, shifts the damage to mostly finishers

#

That was a thing i tried too

#

Felt solid

waxen meteor
#

but i need to have two more keybinds copium

halcyon timber
#

Glory of mmo mouse

waxen meteor
#

Sepsis Dot + Rupture Shadow DMG during a kidney duel can be very helpful to land a kill

halcyon timber
#

The new pvp pings are cool too

waxen meteor
#

Haha yeah, honestly i had a solo game there is one guy keep using it

#

it was really helpful

#

i know he wants to swap a few seconds earlier

halcyon timber
#

Yeah i like it a lot

waxen meteor
#

until the healer started to use that too

#

then i got fully confused

muted abyss
#

never got used to using an mmo mouse, too many buttons

halcyon timber
#

Razer trinity or whatever the heck i bought felt smooth

#

Like a small grenade

muted abyss
#

Yeah, that's the one I tried

waxen meteor
#

I bought something in middle

muted abyss
#

Honestly I'd love a mouse shaped like the deathadder but with only 3 or 4 side buttons

waxen meteor
#

not like 12 btn on side

#

but two more btns

#

so they are big

halcyon timber
#

Yeah

muted abyss
#

Yeah, deathadder with the two side buttons is great

waxen meteor
#

i mean 4

#

i think most mouses have two side buttons already

#

so i got one with 4

#

actually 5

#

so it's not like 12 small ones I feel i would mess up

#

but 5 bigger ones

#

with 1 of the 5 probably only doing setting things, may be possible to program differently but i havent tried

muted abyss
#

remapping caps-lock to alt or ctrl helps a lot

#

easier to reach than alt or ctrl

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

I have a alt+g for defensive skill from years of exp, i am not sure why i did that in beginning at all, might be silly reasons

#

but now with my new laptop, if i hit windows + G it just screws everything

#

i think it calls out some werid recording thing

#

This is my current mouse

#

so 5 on side, with 1 probably not usable

muted abyss
#

honestly if I need that many side buttons, then I'm playing with too many keybinds lol

surreal barn
#

Logitech g600 what I use

#

But I blow through them

#

Have to buy one like every year lol

muted abyss
#

same, I go through a razer deathadder every 6 months

waxen meteor
#

Servers still down, I guess that's it for today

wary spire
#

@muted abyss oh shit it's a nose, not a smug smiley face...

waxen meteor
#

will try 10.2 only tmr

muted abyss
#

not a smiling friend, that's for sure

wary spire
muted abyss
wary spire

I liked it better as a smiley, it gave me comfort.

Nothing brings comfort anymore.

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
# waxen meteor

Im no assassination rogue but it seemed solid on ptr . Blindside procced a lot .

muted abyss
waxen meteor
#

yeah but no cost ambush can be good as well

muted abyss
#

yeah, that's what I'm saying ttb isn't worth it imo

#

you don't use it for damage, but as a damage buff

#

all it needs is the additional charges and the nature/bleed/MS buff

wary spire
#

Give up bonespike, embrace the melee.

finite root
#

Question getting back in the game, with stun nerfs can flags still be capped or is it alot more work

waxen meteor
#

Tricks of the trade becomes baseline skill for all specs right?

muted abyss
#

you still have to talent it

waxen meteor
#

oh no, choose one from blackjack or this

muted abyss
#

it's either that or blackjack at least for sin

stoic spruce
#

Yall choose tricks of the trade?

muted abyss
waxen meteor
stoic spruce
#

I was about to say >.>

waxen meteor
#

I thought it became a baseline skill by mistake

stoic spruce
#

Some goofy stuff going on

waxen meteor
#

Now with s2 tier set gone, do we still have any reason to not use symbol and dance together? (save a keybind question)

Blizz Twitter: Current maintenance has been extended until 4:00 PM (PST). We apologize for any disruption and hope to restore service quickly.

waxen meteor

PepeFull well we expected it

never on time

jolly sierra

for the blindside position

halcyon timber
waxen meteor
#

ok saved one key

#

it will go to bite

worthy crag
waxen meteor
#

In theory ->
When we have 7 CPs and Vein

Kidney + Duel + ~~Orc ~~+ Trinket + Shadow Blade
Dance (2 CP returned + First dance 4 CP)
Evis
SS + Bite
CB + ST

Seems a solid burst with 492529239 stacks of Danse

waxen meteor
worthy crag
#

Its in the first row

#

part of the mandatory 8

waxen meteor
#

ha?

worthy crag
#

unless you rather take some aoe talebt

waxen meteor
#

Well sort of

#

Not sure if the 5% heal on finishers or 10% shield is solid

#

but it looks not too bad

worthy crag
#

Im taking 25 sec sod talent which means i take the cheap talent

#

30 sec sod is too long without 2p

wary spire
#

I saw it

waxen meteor
stoic spruce

#

Fuck

#

Forgot to copy all my macros over from the ptr

#

Is it still up

halcyon timber
#

I think so

#

Was last night

waxen meteor
#

Are there some good rogue pvp people on twitch

#

doing the 4 hours watching on background but got nothing to watch

worthy crag
#

are servs up?

waxen meteor
#

no

worthy crag
#

oof

#

Was there a 2nd extension?

waxen meteor

will just play the twitch on background but want to contribute for rogue twicher

whats a outlaw pvp built

halcyon timber

That’s good , they are making sure its smooth

muted abyss

like chunky peanutbutter

halcyon timber

That’s cool man

vocal surge
#

Crackshot go brrr

halcyon timber
#

Crackshot is filthy af

vocal surge
#

once I get home from college

inner tartan
waxen meteor
#

It's fine, not expecting too much today

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just passed my midterm

vocal surge
#

Crackshot at least takes skill to pull off and to counter

inner tartan
worthy crag
#

Dark brew without duplicating rupture: bad meme?

vocal surge
#

If people too brain dead to deny outlaw the crackshot window

#

then Outlaw pops offf

halcyon timber
vocal surge
worthy crag
#

most of the playerbase dont know what outlaw even does

#

whats crackshot

halcyon timber
#

Bte has no cd and with ace resets (happen frequently) do some nice damage as it provides a dispatch on top of it

#

Through stealth / dance mind you

inner tartan
#

a op talent

halcyon timber
#

Subterfuge as well

worthy crag
#

whats an ace reset? Lmao

inner tartan
#

reset combo points

vocal surge
#

Ace Up Your Sleeve

halcyon timber
#

Oh ace up your sleeve gives a chance yeah to reset

vocal surge
#

Its 2 talent synergy

halcyon timber
#

Pretty sick

vocal surge
#

but its rng

inner tartan
#

outlaw is rng lmfaoo nothing new

vocal surge
#

you can luck out and draw 8 Between the Eyes

halcyon timber
#

35% chance at 7 cb pts

worthy crag
#

So BTE for every finisher during dance and subter?

vocal surge
#

or no Ace proc for 5 casts

#

ye

worthy crag
#

sounds like dismantle

vocal surge
#

fish out Ruthless Precision before each window

sharp pumice
#

Pretty sure if you hit anyone between the eyes with even a really shit pistol you'd blow their head clean off

halcyon timber
#

XD yeh

vocal surge
#

for the Improved BTE bonus

#

which is 400% crit damage

halcyon timber
#

Dense mongo skulls dont break

vocal surge
#

300% or 400%

sharp pumice
#

That's true, wow players are a different breed

vocal surge
#

forgot which value it is

halcyon timber
#

400%

#

Yeah freakin sometimes i got 5-6 aces

vocal surge
#

did you test vs Warlock

halcyon timber
#

Was fun

vocal surge
#

?

#

or Warriors

halcyon timber
#

Locks are rough

#

They increased lock armor 90% i believe

vocal surge
#

bruh

waxen meteor
#

prayge 90%?

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

waxen meteor
#

clothes where

halcyon timber
#

Some dude was gloating on ptr about it

vocal surge
#

They were super hard to kill in the PTR during the 1st pvp test

halcyon timber
#

Yeah was uncool man

vocal surge
#

it takes all of your CDs to blow through the warlock defenses

#

as reworked Outlaw

#

w. god rng on Ace procs

halcyon timber
#

Thing is rogues already were tuned down a lot on ptr

vocal surge
#

including defensives + elusiveness feint and vial

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
#

Aug hits unnaturally hard on ptr

#

Same w shaman

#

Can’t come after us when others hit harder

vocal surge
#

btw did Evasion get tuned?

#

cdr wise

halcyon timber
#

No notes or testing changes afaik

vocal surge
#

oh boy

sharp pumice
#

Just vanish when blizzard starts casting nerfbat, it takes them like 6 weeks to react anyway

vocal surge
#

remember what I said about Evasion early in the PTR?

halcyon timber
#

Still .5 or whatever

#

Yeah I remember when we tested

vocal surge
halcyon timber
#

Was rough waters

sharp pumice
#

So what's the dominant spec at first blush here

vocal surge
#

prob Sub

halcyon timber
#

Go go stun bot rangerssss!!!! Beowww deowww dow dowew nuhhhh

sharp pumice
#

Mast/vers sub still?

waxen meteor
#

What I saw here and there seems to be

Aug/Lock all specs/Sub/Elemental

halcyon timber
#

/shrug its up in the air

vocal surge
#

Sub through the nerfs is atleast going to be viable

sharp pumice
#

Aug rogue may be interesting

waxen meteor
#

@halcyon timber How is the shield and 5% healing talent on sub

halcyon timber
#

They fixed the double dipping we were doing so that was another hit to things (good thing, not a complaint)

#

Shield is fine , affected by dampening

#

EE talent is like 12k healing w/o ms

#

Its a small bonus, nothing crazy

waxen meteor
#

So potentially better to go left side for free cheap shot over that?

halcyon timber
#

Id think assassinations kit actually heals the most based off passive income of multiple dots

#

I think playstyle preference

#

I liked either or

#

Outlaw can be crazy fast which was cool at least

#

Feint was up very very often as outlaw and the 5% pistol shot dr was sick

#

Still think as many outlaws have suggested that they should get help w fighting plate

#

Locks are a pain for any melee on ptr though honestly

vocal surge
#

their armor value and damage reduction exceeds plate wearers

halcyon timber
#

Agreeed

vocal surge
#

very little effort to play em

waxen meteor
#

OK caster alt determined

halcyon timber
#

Warrior prey on the weak will be a problem

waxen meteor
#

Affli seems to be a bit lower compared to demo/destro?

halcyon timber
#

Affliction is rough on ptr

#

Bastards from hell

waxen meteor
#

rough for them or for us lol

halcyon timber
#

If they defend well they are a pain

#

The armor increase is noticeable

#

Port cdr was annoying

#

Then they buff warrior in response to lock nerfs

#

Then locks get buffed again

#

XD

waxen meteor
#

Aug: Support what?

halcyon timber
#

Aug has seen a lot of changes but can easily 60% something

waxen meteor
#

Aug seems to be actually only a buff machine at pve

halcyon timber
#

Dev godzilla breath hits unreasonably hard on ptr

waxen meteor
#

maybe that's why they are not nerfed for pvp

#

yet

halcyon timber
#

Holy paladin can do some pretty sneaky damage too

#

Discipline hopefully is better (seemed to be)

#

From testing w friends / random jokers

muted abyss
#

delayed again

jolly sierra
#

tf happened now

halcyon timber
#

Gotta let the chilli sit, the pot is almost ready

wintry dew
#

i saw a message gettin deleted

jolly bear
#

so are we keeping the two set?

jolly bear
#

until conq chest/legs

halcyon timber
#

Honor gear is way higher and old set was tuned down on ptr so nope. No goofy stuff

#

Better off spending honor you saved up

muted abyss
jolly bear
#

so we just ditch it and macro in symbols with SD again?

halcyon timber
#

I don’t macro abilities together but you can if you really want to

jolly bear
#

or are we staying on rotten builds without 2 set

halcyon timber
#

Any build felt solid comparing to either side or mix and matching

jolly bear
#

I don’t know if it’s better to go dark brew or rotten or dark brew except you take flag instead

#

oh okay so it’s preference right now

halcyon timber
#

Experiment and see what you prefer

#

Yes it was really tight in tuning

#

They did a great job

jolly bear
#

actually I am glad about that

halcyon timber
#

Me too

jolly bear
#

I always preferred dark brew

halcyon timber
#

Seriously

sharp pumice
#

weren't the servers supposed to be up like 2 hours ago

#

the fuck is going on

halcyon timber
#

Yep

#

Chilli is still cooking that’s what happened

jolly bear
#

oof 😔

halcyon timber
#

Its ok

#

Nbd

#

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

halcyon timber
#

XD

jolly bear
#

GO TOUCH MORE GRASS

sharp pumice
#

I've been outside working all day

#

I want to video games

halcyon timber
#

“I want 2 days of game time because i took today off “ wowhead comments from patch release in 10.1

sharp pumice
#

gibe

jolly bear
#

I said what I said

jolly bear
sharp pumice
#

eh, if the servers shit the bed unexpectedly it's not exactly unreasonable to request money back/gametime

halcyon timber
#

Yeah they need more activity time

jolly bear
#

they need to time it better though

tribal badger
#

anyone who takes the day off on patch day instead of the day after patch day

halcyon timber
#

Bugs happen

tribal badger
#

must be very very new to this game

jolly bear
#

if they know they always extend it why not start earlier?

halcyon timber
#

Like the df airships on release

#

Devs logged on and kept resetting stuff . It happens

#

Gw2 had big bugs constantly. It happens

jolly bear
#

dude if they didn’t fix the renown bug with boosting from War Within I’m gonna be hella tilted

halcyon timber
#

Ffxiv raids jacked up all the time when i played that back in the day. Was a cool raid against diablo

#

We fell through the floor a lot on jenova server

#

They had to take the raid down for a few hours

jolly bear
#

I fall through the floor in Antorus now

halcyon timber
#

XS

sharp pumice
#

FFXIV has the best goddamned soundtrack for bosses

halcyon timber
#

Yeah ffxiv is cool

jolly bear
#

not my cup of tea

#

it’s cool but not for me

halcyon timber
#

Pvp neutering was enough to push me away

sharp pumice
#

gcd was too slow and it drove me nuts

jolly bear
sharp pumice
#

what's rs3

halcyon timber
#

Gcd was like 2.6 sec

sharp pumice
#

Run Escape?

jolly bear
#

BRO WHAT

#

2.6???

sharp pumice
#

yeah that's painful

jolly bear
#

no shot

halcyon timber
#

Yeah before skill speed materia and they slowed that down

#

Too

sharp pumice
#

I think agi classes in WoW have too slow GCDs

#

with how insane the amount of shit is

jolly bear
#

runescape 3

sharp pumice
#

30 abilities, 20 debuffs, still a slow ass gcd

halcyon timber
#

We aren’t allowed to go lower but i forget the reason

#

But it kinda made sense when they said it

jolly bear
#

isn’t the gcd 1 second?

#

or is that rogues only

halcyon timber
#

I think its a little higher

sharp pumice
#

feral rogue and.... uhhh

#

think that's it

halcyon timber
#

But we can’t go below 1 sec

jolly bear
#

I just know when I have low haste on my FDK I always think I’m lagging

halcyon timber
#

XD

tribal badger
#

gcd base is 1.5s and reduces with haste

#

energy specs base gcd is always 1.0s

#

doesnt get reduced by haste

#

outlaw is the only one that can

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

tribal badger
#

AR reduces it to 0.8s

jolly bear
#

oh okay makes sense yup

tribal badger
#

so energy specs have the fastest gcds baseline but normal specs can get faster if they get enough haste

halcyon timber
#

Yeh that was the reason

tribal badger
#

basically no spec has faster then outlaw

halcyon timber
#

Makes sense

jolly bear
#

are we able to log in now

tribal badger
#

0.75 is the floor for a non energy spec and it takes 100% haste to reach that

halcyon timber
#

Nope 9pm amigo

tribal badger
#

which basically no specs reach in pvp

halcyon timber
#

Est

tribal badger
#

maybe enhance with pi

jolly bear
#

WHAT

#

LOL

halcyon timber
#

Rumble looks fun

muted abyss

lol, they are delaying patch until tomorrow

Dunno i like wow stuff , good to play while taking a spooky dooky

thats not a thing yet, its still scheduled for an hour from now

halcyon timber

muted abyss
# jolly bear what…

they can't just keep the employees there until it's finished, they have to get off work

stoic spruce
tribal badger
#

but at this rate

jolly bear
#

I guess, but it’s only 5 pm

halcyon timber
#

In ffxiv during stormblood we were on servers and no one could do msq so they took the game down for another day

halcyon timber
#

Something different to do /shrug

stoic spruce
#

I don't get why blizz is getting hate for it

halcyon timber
#

Always will no matter what man

stoic spruce
#

WoW players when a game studio develops a game

halcyon timber
#

I don’t like mayo so i leave it off my food.

#

Ask for mustard instead/shrug

#

Nbd

halcyon timber
jolly bear
#

would they actually just not update the game until tomorrow and go through another maintenance day? like what is there to even do the season cutoff was last night

halcyon timber
#

Do anything else in the mean time

jolly bear
#

there’s no reason to log in

halcyon timber
#

They are, just stuff happens

#

Not a big deal

muted abyss
jolly bear
#

yeah I was just really looking forward to starting my second season of pvp and trying out all the new talents

stoic spruce
#

That's on the 14th

halcyon timber
#

You will my man, hang tight 🙂

stoic spruce
#

You're waiting for off-season

jolly bear
#

feels like I’m chasing a dollar attached to the fishing reel lol

halcyon timber
#

Nah just off season like popo said

jolly bear
#

well for me it’s still time to practice

halcyon timber
#

Got a whole week to test and adapt to new stabby stuff

jolly bear
#

it’s just a week

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

halcyon timber
#

I dig the ambition

#

Don’t lose that

stoic spruce
#

The biggest waste of time but yeah

jolly bear
#

lol I know but people gotta adapt and some are a bit older and slower. or younger and slower like me because I don’t understand wtf the stored Shadow Technique combo points are for 🥰

halcyon timber
#

Meh downtime is good

#

Necessary sometimes

#

Stored points are somi

#

Solid*

#

So you hit a generator and it adds the stored points. Ex: backstab gives 3 pts if 2 are stored

#

Simple and far better than the tom foolery we had

muted abyss
#

Y'all don't remember WoD launch

#

it was like 2am before servers came up lol

jolly bear
halcyon timber
#

What do you mean?

#

You just get a buff that says x pts stored

#

“Shadow techniques 3 pts stored”

#

As an example

jolly bear
#

yeah then how do you use and store them

halcyon timber
#

Its smooth

#

You hit a generator of your choice and it consumes the stacks

jolly bear
#

OH

halcyon timber
#

During blades you do not consume them and it helps smooth stuff out. You can plan easily and adapt off that

#

Instead of the silly thing we had before

jolly bear
#

so you get the buff, then whatever is stored you use a generator and then you gain the base + stored

halcyon timber
#

Shadowcraft extends it and allows finishers to consume them during symbols uptime which is a new fave talent of mine

#

Yes sir

#

Exactly

stoic spruce
#

can we have a moment of silnce for Find Weakness and Dreadblades?

#

may they rest in peace

halcyon timber
#

Yeah i think they might return at some point but in a diff way

#

Crackshot and ace really felt satisfying on ptr

halcyon timber
# jolly bear what

So symbols allows for finishers to consume stored points to fill what you need.
Ex: rupture with 3 pts stored will provide 3 pts

#

Its a good talent but isn’t nuts or anything

#

Plenty of competitive options

#

Requires planning and thinking ahead but isn’t hard to do so

jolly bear
#

so you dont need to use a generator to use them during symbols? you have 3 cp and 3 stored and you can use rupture as 6?

halcyon timber
#

Nope

#

If i have 2 stored and symbols is up and I rupture —> gives me 2 points

jolly bear
#

so you don’t need cp to use rupture during symbols, it instead gives cp?

languid sleet
#

Sub or Sin for PVP?

jolly bear
#

if it’s stored

halcyon timber
#

Nope

#

You need to have pts to rupture

#

And you need to have ST stacks and symbols active

jolly bear
#

I feel like I’m stupid lol so 6 cp rupture + 2 stored will consume those 6 and give you 2 after

halcyon timber
#

Yes sir

jolly bear
#

during symbols

halcyon timber
#

Yes sir exactly

jolly bear
#

oh that does sound good

halcyon timber
#

Don’t be hard on yourself though

jolly bear
