Just thought too hard
okay but now it makes perfect sense it’s like a different version of ER
Old ST pts were random and often not fulfilling . This allows you flexibility to do with what you need and aids in downtime as well as impactful moments
Kinda but not really but i see what you mean
yeah it did suck if you didn’t have SD you basically just run around and cc people because you can’t do meaningful dmg lol
ER is 4 “random” points to use that you need to land on to gain 7 pt finisher
which was ruined if you got a ST proc
or crit with the one above thistle tea I think
think it got moved to sin only though right
yeah now that I know how it works it does sound smooth
Outlaw has it similar with HO giving multi ambushes and it felt very cery finthy on ptr
Tier set made having 4-5 buffs up fairlt often but requires planning a little
It felt like all 3 rogues are really close on ptr. Wouldn’t say anyone was “way better” . We all do good damage after the tuning they did.
going to hold my breath until server goes up
I like all 3 specs so I’m glad to hear that. but I’ve always preferred Sub
but now I have 2 rogues so I can experience all 3 properly without hindering myself
i hit 1800 now but no set unlocked 😐
thats odd
unlocking sets are not possible in off sesson?
yup
15 mins
well nobody is in the off season yet tho
EU should still be in s2
and NA servers arent up yet
my rated screen is grey
unless the NA season ending also ended the season for EU despite them still being in s2?
in which case thats rough
must have been the case
since titles and such are global right
servers up
Already 20:00 here 
The time for testing is now
servers are off now
ghostly strike is off the GCD ye?
wtf where is the new honor gear
you'd think it'd be FASTER SINCE ITS MY ASS
NA servers up yet?
yes
Thought it’s mentioned multiple times there is not going to be in this week
i thought that was the conq gear
Lol this is stupid. No honor gear for a week
but the bloody token gear it out
yeah only new warmode gear for bloody tokens are available atm
literally the same every new season for the past like 4 expansions lol
well this was my first season actually being here for patch day ready to be competative
so I genuinely didnt know
loving me some outlaw in random BGs right now just deleting everyone lol
Did the rotation completely change
we able to get a spark this week?
not sure, I think it is with the season start though
Well I have 15k honor stacked on all my toons
good thing is catalyst starts
So guess I'll go fuck myself
right off the bat
Yea. So dumb. I leveled 2 alts and capped honor to buy honor sets to pvp and now i cant for an entire week. If i had known id have bought s2 at least so i can participate lol
hopefully they don't take this nonsense bg testing as truth when we are technically in blue gear now as it is old gear.
"hur hur just start nerfing just because" . No one has gear from next season and everything is tuned around having that gear obviously.
PSA don't forget to update your drivers, logged into valdrakken and was wrecked.
why the vendor still sells obsidian honor gear
bloody gear is live right now so can farm sparks and tokens but honor isnt till tuesday
can farm honor for it ahead of time tho
Yep that’s the plan for sure
Can do some world pvp quest this week
That’s it
Then just get used to new talent
Could be boring week for specs that didn’t get mic update
Bunch of classes and specs had updates
outlaw is a great time right now its just deleting lol
To be fair everyone is under geared atm
Designed for next season max gear blah blah
Some dingus will complain and influence the nerf stick. Its our job to make sure they get bent and understand this isn’t full gear where things are evened out.
Its casters in full gear that destroy people, it aint us
so far ive hit a 120k BTE with a 50k dispatch on one of my gos lol
Arms slamming people for 250k mortal strikes on ptr and such
That’s solid, definitely need to monitor the jackasses on the forums to not spread rogue propaganda
Dreadblades would be really nice right now
Prob didn’t math out to work as well to fit other things but agreed
Need to delete seveal builds now
Crackshot and the other toys should make up the difference
HO multi striking should be a big difference too
I know another big thing this week!
im rocking killing spree too its real fun
wait for addons' update!
Yeah KS was great on ptr
Scales well with haste
Take em by surprise + the haste talent w rtb + swift slasher felt solid
And alacrity trinket
what sub specs are y'all running
deadly seems to be a bit higher dps than wound for sin
Yeah def a trade but wonder if amp psn and wound could help so they don’t “have” to use deadly
spark quest doesnt give blood tokens this week?
Bunch of diff builds that all work well. Lots of good variation. The build tarny linked earlier is solid too.
yep just noticed that on pick up too. Giving people an even ground I guess. I'm just out smacking people at the world quest areas. The one in Waking shores gives a piece of gear btw.
hm evisc kinda blows without finality
it does way better once fully geared
we are very gear dependent, since the beginning of time xD
i mean, im just weighing that and sec tech
yeah it's a playstyle difference for sure
anyone got a build for assass yet?
finality + eviscerate does well
they need to just nerf tier sets this time intead of gimping our class kit
Assassin's set is pretty filthy from ptr testing
i used to run cold blood for evis with 4 set in season 2 but considering sec tech is a 1 pointer with no dumb aoe talent on the way and finality is a 2 pointer, doesnt look like there's a justification for using CB evis now
yeah dunno, I was never a fan of secret technique doing the leg work
looks like perf veins + goremaw and then cold blood sec tech is the play
Well then that was a quick skirm
and prob a verse build
agreed
@exotic dove yeah it does well but it's not as solid when we have 1 million life and primary stat drops off
agreed but for now its hilarious
life pools are much much larger on ptr testing
yeah but nerds don't need to screech like howler monkies against it on us xD
warlocks have like 1.3 or 1.4 on ptr gear and healers were pretty high up there as well
Is Sanguine Blades (passive exang) talent still breaking stealth?
warlocks were hitting people for like 500-600k chaos bolts on ptr too
yes for for now, I know we fought for it on the forums big time
but they made their decision as it is quite strong once you factor in all the things behind it
Going to play a build without SB and see how it does
shadow blades also breaks stealth / vanish with rupture up as well (on purpose) so have to make a blades cancel macro for it
sorry I meant Sanguine Blades for assa
yeah it felt fine with / without Sanguine blades on ptr. I definitely liked that assassins can ambush hard again.
To be fair though if I am using Shadowblades as sub I prolly not trying to stealth away
agreed it's a kill that joker now moment
My bite is only 200K ish
yeah hit undergeared people and it does more naturally
lots of jokers are running around without any versatility and screeching about it
oh pvp values vary with targets and resistances yadda yadda
dummies are weird
yeah i got it but it's weird low
I'm not sure how much they factor in on dummy targets as I haven't sat down to do the math
it's around 35% armor reduction and it does have some more magic resistance etc
right on, hmm /shrug
that checks out with ptr asprimary stats have a linear curve and decreases down the road naturally as an expansion goes on
Imma say it.
I don't think blizz should tune classes until everyone gets conquest gear in 5ish weeks
different classes also have different natural resistances as well
they honeslty shouldn't touch anyone till actual gear is fully available
Yeah I agree
like rogues really don't do "that much" just based off ptr. It seems like it but rets chunk everyone
like we do well yes but in full gear you're still double / triple CC'ing if you have to
it's not like 1 ambush is doing 2/3 of their life or something
rogues still hit people 500000 times as opposed to 1 chaos bolt
Augs were doing around 650k hits sometimes on PTR in full gear and rogues only have 850k life (outlaw was a little over 900k I think fully geared)
pikaboo was using this earlier. but he said its not as good as outlaw/sub
did they nerf gloomblade
This looks dated
DTB seems dead
its from like 10m ago
its what he currently has his talents set to atm
whether its dated or not 🤷♂️
I have 3 builds I want to try, but yeah, I'm not sold on DTB anymore
Trying this atm
whats a good build
it isn't scaling as much and I think they took the 30% off of it secretly in pvp. It still can do damage but has to have some back up from other talents. (still my fave and i'll make it work).
Eviscerate was buffed, strike was buffed, nightstalker was nerfed, DM is nerfed still but Dark Shadow is finally unnerfed. Rotten was nerfed more to make room. Lots of changes (things from PTR)
yeah but the picks on talent seems dated...
is outlaw still gonna be mastery? or are we gonna roll back to crit with the bigger focus on stuff like BtE?
No idea, Adoringfan would know or Vermillius as I tested a lot with them. not sure if they are on atm though.
anyone have a good sub build link for 10.2?
crits still mega nerfed
Yeah the 25% crit damage change was pretty rough but /shrug
might still be crit honestly due to the mastery nerf
just cause theres not much else to pick
Playing without MfD is so weird
yeah i figured thatd be the reason not to, but mastery also got nerfed and i was under the impression that the mastery build was because we had like 0 burst anyways so the best option was maximizing pressure
at least GM also has the 5% working now
now we have legit burst
Why did they remove it 😦
so even if crits nerfed i think itd be better
because we gained other ways to generate cb pts reliably
As assa not really
and pve kids were upset it competed well with 7 pts
ima start with crit and see if anything major develops, we shall see
dungeon "sniping" monsters became a thing
at worst crit wont be bad right?
w mfd giving 15% damage
Shadow dance with Assa definitely the move now tbh
crit strike felt pretty important on all 3 rogues on ptr honestly
OK got a lv473 pant
do a crit or hit for noodle damage non crits /shrug . I just find a sweet spot I like and roll from there.
guys do the pvp world quest
yeh I just scopped up the pants too
How long is the quest up for?
usually the pvp ones are like 48 hours right?
11 hours
Really wish they would just nerf the tiers even more / disable them so we aren't paying for any unecessary attention
I guess it doesn’t really matter with honor gear being purchasable next week
But good callout
yeah agreed, next week honor gear is up and is more solid than old tier / conquest
I mean they could have kept it the way it has been for years, didn't need to add the 15% damage...
yeah it's a haste pant
yeah haste is pretty decent now with the right talents though
not a huge amount but some haste does do well on all 3 of us
swift slasher was fast af with all the stuff rolling
warning signs grew on me a lot on ptr
i kinda hated stacking mastery lol its a boring stat as outlaw, so im down to go back to crit/verse with some haste
reprimand was also buffed a large amount too for those who like it. Same time tuning responsibly insteadof false pretenses they have been mislead to do isn't cool.
my realm has like 1820432840 people on that boss
yeah I had to get outta there a few times
lots of gold quests up too . yeah boy.
I am fine with gold haha
I don't even know where the new map is lol
anyway will figure out tmr
yeh man, quests and stuff. See ya later man!
@quaint cedar what do you think of outlaw?
Did some Assa and Kingsbane is a fun button to press for me like it was on ptr. I am also running DTB
Another thing people don't realize, a lot of damage was moved from core stuff to make blades better so the nonsense people will attempt to pin us with isn't cool. Damage was shifted not necessarily increased a crap ton or something.
yeah KB was pretty dang filthy on PTR testing, could smack people for 250k each tick.
Kings bane is not showing on resource bar 
Outlaw feels real bad :[
holy crap assa feels great
I am straight deleting people and sudden demise chef's kiss
Trying this build out right now for Assa and I am liking it the best I think https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/assassination/DANFVVVRVBUVRiREDFFANVVRUUUZBQVKFECVQ
Probably going to be my go to for 3s and Shuffle
2s I might dabble with Sanguine blades and shadow dance since it is safer to use Sanguine there
I will have to try that one after
Also you like soothing darkness over Iron stomach for self heals
once they get to 35% they just... disappear
I should try that too
My thought process was Iron stomach might prove more valuable for Assa since we cant vanish as much as sub
I think both heals kinda suck so far; I haven't spent as much time on the left tree yet
The hardest thing so far hoenstly is not being able to open with MFD kidney
Yeah I basically just use cheap shot than garrote
then kidney for the next stun
helps that Rupture now also applies internal bleeding
I think you need the garrot thing next to bone
The new talent seems bad
And you picked ambush proc
So on rogue tree I think you would pick ambush improvement over 10% finisher cost
hrm good catch
Sudden Demise is kinda fucking hilarious
I think another option is to cheap open side dps than garrote both
Then kidney main target
That is a good idea too
I love it tbh - pair it with zoldyck and blindside and that 35% to 0% feels instant
it's going to enrage the forums though... the number of ppl who don't release (because they are checking the tape) is huge
But it won’t work when there’s one dps in stealth 
Well yeah but its still a good idea when no stealthies on enemy team
Yeah after messing around all my builds for Assa are going to have kingsbane
its mandatory
I am running DTB right now in this build actually that I linked above
Sdemise was changed to 10% in pvp no?
wait until you face a DH running full eye beam with Chaotic Disposition
yeah its 10% in pvp
Mm tierset is going to tab target tf out of people
I've never seen such a crazy lack of balance; that 4p is absolutely mental
Mm 4 tier reads crazy
But ours 2 tier reads solid too…
For sub
It’s just their 4 tier totally under control our is rng
DH loses the self heal from summoned demon it seems
Yeah its on spectral sight for on demand now no? They also gained other talents to heal in the change I believe like chaos / fire healing and stuff yadda yadda
Yeah way less RnG
The summon demo was super crucial
Not only heal a lot but also boosts all dmg for 20%
Like when you need to burst you sort of have to wait for it lol
Yeah they gained a lot of cool ish in the patch
Pretty much everyone gained a good bit / freed up talent pts etc
New talents
I need one more point on sub tree!!
Charge me 100$ for that 1 point like gocha mobile game!
Lololol
I think for sin I will give up wound as well, but I am more leaning towards ambush proc > shiv 200% dmg
Sub I feel both good about Brew vs Bite, not sure what I will do in the end
Yeah def felt strong w the new psn ambush talent
Ambush does close to 10% of my dmg profile
Fat ambushes
But just another thing to monitor
I really miss the 3 poison on enemy name plate damn
That just feels so good
hmm for ass, are folks thinking going for sudden demise or down for arterial percision?
Could use a WA to attach it to their name plate if you wanted to
Haven’t heard too much yet but people are really digging demise atm
yeah seems like it would be great execute damage. i wonder if arterial is for more steady damage
what are stat prios for ea spec right now
we dont know. Patch dropped a few hours ago.
what was it before patch
vers mast
ok i feel still energy starved with 300 energy lol did we lose some energy regen?
Can someone Check If old Honor Gear scales to 450 ilvl in BGS?
Why tf there is no new Honor Gear
New honor gear next week. Old gear is whatever is advertised
Wow
some should scale to 450 considering i just hit 70 and questing gear is scaling to 450 for me
Yeh stinks
not all of it but some of the higher ilvl stuff is
So im stuck with my mastery Gear to Play Outlaw nice
Regen was buffed for assassins last otr build. Felt good with the psn crit regen talent added .(middle row can’t remember the name)
Ptr
I think outlaw will go vers-crit-haste tbh
Its hard to sit and watch NA ppl playing,🙁
Dashing scoundrel or whatever
youre not missing out I promise
Was it like that last Season aswell with honor gear?
yeah but this time theres a massive ilvl gap so honor gear is much more attractive
anyone elses fps just dog shit after this patch?
been happening since DF prepatch
What's better Sin or Sub right now?
I updated drivers and it jumped back to 70 fps
Both do well
no real way of knowing until season starts, but i really wouldn't be getting hung up on stuff like that especially this week
just play what you enjoy
so we can buy the conquest emblems lol can we get 489 early?
Prob not
yeah so we can buy the next season eblems
i also got season 3 rewards from a solo shuffle
shadowcraft makes energy generation so smooth without shadow blades or gbite
did u got elite set from a SS?
that is a bug sometimes
i have got elite tier from S1 and S2 by that accidentally
in s1 was because i played a skirmish
and in s2 was because i played a shuffle i recall
but still got 1k8 anyways later
Thoughts?
HOW IS ROGUE FEELING ?
Yeah its one of my favorite flexible talents
Solid build, some good trades there to reflect your style
lol, so i cant buy new honor gear but can´t buy last seasons aswell. So if i need crit/haste instead of mastery gear for my new spec im basicly fucked until next week?
yuppp
What have people come up with for outlaw?
ROGUE GOOD ?
yes
Alright ladies. We are back. and we're black.
Assa feels good. I refuse to play outlaw and sub. Enough of that shit.
feels shit without haste
Yea. heckin stacked with mastery right now. need to refarm everything
yeah...
I grinded out 1600 with a homie on saturday as outlaw, that shit was rough lol. Bought the elite shoulders w/ my 2k io token, didn't care for the helm.
I'm messing a bit with sub talents and Rotten + Macabre + Goremaw on sub, and Tea, Cold Blood and Danse on the rogue tree is really nice
Assa has been playable for the entirety of the xpac though? 
This build, if anyone is interested haha
Dirty ally spotted
Indeed, indeed 🙂
Every man for himself 2 strong.
Yeah, gotta use it right with the shared cooldown but it's nice ! Sometimes i regret not having Shadow Meld but I don't really like NightElves rogue haha
playable, but it feels good now. Until they hit us with the nerf bat.
Kingsbane owns...Internal bleeding owns... Sanguine blade owns.
We own
what spec is lookin best for RBG high rating
Ooooh that actually looks cool! Not s2 cool, but cool nontheless
The ilvl scale goes up to what?
Now that would have been more helpful to remember.
XD
But yeh the world sets look amazing the quest leather stuff looks awesome as well.
I'm doing boring questions because I can only play in like 9h from now
Am i missing something or we cant buy honor gear yet ? waiting for S3 start ?
Yes
Yeh i’m just starting my work shift 😭
Do we keep our conquest or does it reset next week
resets next week
i'd say everyone is pretty even in hitting people and ish. Warlocks are definitely tanky though.
Glad tabard this season is sick
yeah shit is sick
Definitely gotta try and push for my first one
also can someone send some Sin and Sub builds they're fucking w atm?
LF a good baseline
How’s assassination after the changes? After 10 years of sub I think I want to try it out.
@mystic shoal That's what I'm rocking right now for Sub. For Rogue tree I switched between Tea and Deeper Stratagem (you loose Acrobatic Strike with Tea but it's still nice) but the base line seems ok to me (gotta wait for some proplayers to give their insight but I think this baseline was from Palumor at the begining of the PTR). On the Sub tree the base stayed the same but I switch between some things : if you don't take Secret Tech, you can pick Weaponmaster or Premeditation ; and remove Danse Macabre for another point in Finality. I did some testing on the pvp target dummy and the spec that did most damages was the one with Tea and Secret Tech ; the one dealing less damage was the one with Tea and without Secret Tech. Also, these days I don't play arena anymore so my builds are more bg / wpvp oriented. I'll still experiment a bit but hope it helps
Ty! I appreciate it!
So patch week all we doing gear wise...is to do spark quest and farm some bloody tokens for the wpvp pieces we plan to upgrade.....and cap honor?
🙂
hey guys, any pin for what the go to spec is for pvp in 10.2?
Restoration.
Now that the season ended, lets all share our proudest achievements for s2
Mine was the fact that i got 3.1 rio in m+ (pve kekw) on rogue which was a class that i play for the first time in pve, and also the fact that i got 2.4cr in 2 hours when i was literally afk 95% of the season
WHAT ABOUT U ?!?!
Got to 2100 after the last season where I got to like 1400 and gave up.
big pog gz on the enchant
bro rogue is so offensiv now with this new talent
which new talent and which spec ?
also yeah what spec are people blasting with ?
i just tested global talent in icy vein they call it rotten
BUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAkQAAAAAAIIJlEJkCEiISSSSSiUSJRSpkkIJJCoEBAAAgEiA
Sub is still king i think
Anyone running a good outlaw spec yet?
BQQAt5bPuh6pO3KIPROgVVbp4CAkQSSkEISIJCSkkmkEtkIlkAAAAAAgUKhESS0IpEBAAAgkEA
It's not out yet, try in 10.3 or next expansion
outlaw is fun
but u need haste gear and it will shine in arena
but sub seems pretty broken
Unfortunately I can't play yet. I'm out of town until this Friday. How has it been for you so far?
aye yes
Idk about assa and sub but from my testing on the ptr, outlaw damage did noticeably drop off once everyone had full conquest gear
So hopefully blizz isn't too quick with the nerfs before we see what everyone is like with more gear
Any sub builds anyone recommends? Was playing rotten before
why do u need haste gear?
Sub seems so good
feels bad without haste
how
actually it does not feel to bad
well why would it feel bad
No one “has gear” it would be dumb to nerf us. Especially as other classes pop crap even harder on ptr When we had full gear.
Bro every patch rogue is getting nerfed first week is a transition are u new to rogue ?
Because of poor judgement and cruddy propaganda .
We already were nerfed several times and energy regen took a hit.
We need to increase the quality of our own propaganda then.
They responsibly tuned us on ptr unlike ret paladin
Any good sin builds out?
What items u buy with bloodcoins I think i saw 2 or 3 good pieces
Probably mastery ones if there aren't honor/conq ones
so how is outlaw not gonna be insane in pvp like this? You just get an opener with AR BF and SnD up for like 40 seconds and you can prebuff before so its all ready to go the second you come out of stealth
which means you can cheap shot nonstop for 18 seconds
250% movespeed near perma with sprint going almost all the time
don't even notice find weakness being gone, if anything not needing to worry about it is a huge buff
Because we treat this like prepatch at every expansion. The skillset and talents are intended for max level gear with much higher life pools.
well i am not against us to have a 3 day like ret
Nice, server goes down when i log in
Far stronger ish based on testing such as eye beam slapping for 340k (dh atm) on its own , chaos bolts from destruction that were doing close to 60% of peoples life on ptr before they received buffs etc .
Paladin still smoke you in 5s but god forbid a rogues cds harm stuff
From a objective stand point, such unbalance stuff should always be caught and adjusted before going live
But from a random player stand point, I am happy to have a 3 days chaos period like ret had
Agreed individual rogue talents were already touched several times before going live
Yeah Grad school in States are quite expensive
and US parents mostly turn out to be not paying for kids
Both are not common out of States
at least i studied for free in this country
You are some kind of a princess you don't count
You have got several butlers/maid in your home (your own island)
that's what i remember
imagine not having a private island
😳
Blitz is so fucked actually
It feels extremely wrong to go "uh I guess I just die here" when the cap ticks over since they can't cap for 45 seconds anyway
back
This is prolly a very dumb question but I'm coming back to Retail after a ridiculously long time. Is there no honor gear available anywhere currently?
Was gonna at least farm up the previous seasons set between now and tues so I'm not getting blown up in BGs lol.
This is week 0
Your best bet is to honor cap and wait for next reset and buy all the honor gear available
How bad am I gonna die in the boostie gear?
Depends
It's like 400 something ilevel lol
I'm down to die in the boostie gear LOL. I just mainly was worried I was dumb and couldn't find the honor gear or if they moved it to another vendor.
Nah your good my man. Just gather 15k honor in bgs (super easy honestly) and wait for next reset.
You can also farm bloody tokens I believe.
Easy! 15k seems like it'll be quick. I was hesitant to hit the queue button though LOL.
A lot of people will be doing bgs with those boosted characters don't feel bad about it xD
Played Wrath Classic recently and the boostie sets there are basically unplayable and a death sentence lmao
I was worried these were gonna be equally as terrible. I queued up on Classic and was just one tapping all the boosties and was like "jesus this can't be playable"
I thought only the elite set is temporary... but it looks like there is no way of getting the non rated conquest sets from s2 anymore... kinda sad
They will introduce them to be buyable with marks of honor next expansion
they did the same with SL sets iirc
oh ok, that's cool! thanks for the information 🙂
They did that with all the pvp sets. Always purchasable the next expansion
Just gather honor and buy full pvp set next week
we really cant buy honor gear until next week?
what is the point of this week again?
What's the sin opener looking like with Kingsbane/sepsis/deathmark?
Wait I thought we're not running pepsis?
F R E E N I T R O
HAHAHAAHAHAH fuck
The prophecy.
I hope so
Yesnt
yoyo, someone did some testing on sub rogue talents ? cuz i think ill drop Shiv and invigorating shadows but not sure if im crazy
Yee same.
5 stages of elusiveness:
- it got buffed, it's bis now
- fucking burst in a stun fucking fuck fuck
- okay what if I just spam it aaaand I'm dead
- trashy fucking talent
- cheat death it is
i mean, the 20% dmg reduction against all damage with evasion is big too especially against casters and co
evasion+feint is a reduction of 40% for atleast 6 sec
Well it helps that chest was inconsistent as hell and people were able to kill you through it anyway like 1 out of 5 times.
But it was still comfy ye.
is focus shadowstep macro fixed now?
comfy cuz most time would trigger instead being bypassed
but anyways you would have elusiveness most of time with the double charge
Prefer elusiveness as it is flexible, too many times dying to silly shit through cheat death over the years.
How many times i told myself, well ez, got cheat death, healer is out of cc chain in 2 sec, gonna sit on the proc
never happening tho dx
XD yep just die to dumb ish
Hard to say as 30% armor is equivalent to 9% damage redux. Gs and gm provide 20% together so should help smooth it out along w crackshot providing 200% bte and gm for green skins pulling an mib blasting space roaches with the cricket gun. Outlaw is pretty filthy.
The boys said it felt kinda rough vs plate on ptr when they started changing stuff around a few builds ago with max gear.
im comparing combatant items vs drakebreaker
and seems chest is a safe choice to buy for bloody tokens
I scooped that up yesterday well
Supply Chests providing 200 tokens still is nice
Dang alliance was all over it yesterday in packs and camping tf out of the dream portal so couldn’t do the story xD
oof
are s3 crafting recipes dropping already?
fucking s3 gear is now crafted
what a waste
No idea, saw the vendors were updated last night too . Should have been asleep and was late to class
damn
we still stayin sub?? OL feels clunky af in pvp
Kind of does doesn’t it? Felt weird last night.
like that meme of the uber sweaty kid w the headset on? How are you supposed to track everything and pay attention to the enemy lmao i swear my pinky flew off on the target dummy alone...tfff
Underhanded crackshot with ace resets and you’re clint Eastwood in dirty harry
No idea man, I don’t use either of those
Had to update addons a few times since launch
Played more assa and I have to say I still want/like to use DTB.
Dtb felt solid just with maintaining envenom
Fat effen envenoms with that new psn and the 4pc tierset on ptr was sick
Did full damage regardless of combo points used and doubt it will get changed as they are pretty set on it
What build we running for sub?
up to you
what kind of fuck logic is that I m curious?
it means you don't need to get find weakness on someone to do real damage, you just do that damage

like the damage outlaw does is balanced around not having it anymore, you do full damage always not just after getting find weakness on someone
its not that complicated?
good talk
do you understand 5th grade math?
you know the one with fractions and shit
havent been to school in a while so not sure if they still teach that shit
seems not
I feel it into plate
Safe to get rid of the honor set from last season?
I do, thats why I am concerned with how this is confusing
because I have looked at the actual numbers
you are aware they rebalanced all the specs damage right?
its not like hey, we have the exact same damage just... reduced more by armor. Its all different
but I mean, post a meme emoji and lol I guess its fine
yeah sorry you are right, ZERO is actually bigger >> than thirty 🧠
you are completely talking around the valid point I made, so I assume you just dont care
did blizz buff cloth or leather?
or make plate irrelevant?
or did you mean "heavily skewed against cloth" when you typed "Outlaw damage is balanced now"?
copy paste where I said that, because that is not the words I said
but I could understand if you are like, retranslating my words that might explain why this is going over your head
"like the damage outlaw does is balanced around not having it anymore, you do full damage always not just after getting find weakness on someone"
you know what, it doesn't matter though. Its a pretty easy concept to understand my original point. Not worth arguing
yes you reworded what I said into a different meaning
Are you actually trying to say that just because FW is gone, outlaw's damage is nerfed the amount that correlates to having FW on the target
cuz if you spend 10 seconds on the live server or if you did on the PTR you'd know thats not true
you really can't see what you are missing here? this is not a troll?
what am I missing
nope, I am out
does Outlaw deal good damage vs plate or not?
I mean the servers have been up for the last 18 hours for anyone to test
yes
^
our tier was eh anyway
Outlaw has never done good damage vs plate. FW helped but did not make outlaw magically do big damage to them
and now we dont have help
so the damage you did against cloth vs against plate was skewed BEFORE removing Find weakness?
whew good thing they removed find weakness to skew it even harder
(unless cloth and plate get crunched to do similiar damage reduction)
couldnt you make that argument against literally any other spec that doesnt have find weakness
not just outlaw
We were given find weakness and then it was taken away.it doesnt matter what it was like before
yeah good for them
literally every other spec besides MM and fury has magic damage
untrue
night fae stomp I guess
okay lets pretend night fae stomp no longer applies "increased damage taken"
i forgot about that, but thats like auto attack level damage isn't it
lol ur just dragging on an obvious point for 20 minutes because the choice of the word was 'buff'
Damn it's a nightmare to do elite mission with sub in world map
the burst?
its like someone is pointing at the moon and ur just looking at the finger
keefer
he completely rewrote a quote so I just think hes memeing at this point
okay lets pretend Outlaw does the kind of damage Fury Warrior does
but with Rogue utility, three movement spells, immunities..
is keefer (1m CD)
serenity (1.5m CD, can drop)
xuen (2m)
no lets not pretend anything because then this devolves into hyporhticals
fae is just a little buff dmg
do I call it balanced?
we were talking about why monk damage isn't phys mage
dunno wtf is phys
I was hard pressed to think of any but fae stomp is one
nah Monk damage is skewed against cloth too because its all phys
physical damage not an elemental school. In other words reduced by armor
yes, thats how RPG games work
ah okay so I have been "roleplaying" as a wet noodle
(wind)walker
now I get it
was thinking monk is more phys than mm and fury. Considering fury has bleeds
and mm still has sting and explosive which are both significant
don't worry mm delete people regardless of armor
damn the 10.1 Outlaw fantasy of shooting a Stick Swinger with a Ramen Gun was so immersive
what the fuck are you even going on about now
might be a skill issue if 10.1 (or 10.2 for that matter) felt noncompetitive
Man
and then someone dispels it
or is kingsbane not dispellable? Didn't see it enough last season
It was undispellable because it was unplayable kek
I tried assa once and when I saw all my damage deleted every single game by some removal or immunity or whatnot I couldn't commit to that spec ever again
yo so anyone got a good build for sub?
depends on your playstyle really
Unless it was changed on ptr kingsbane is still dispellable. It was so easy to trade for or just remove period, that it was a dead talent before. Not sure how it’s going to shape up this season
is kingsbane poison or bleed?
nice
probably could sell it for some godl
cant get enough of that godl
Let me buy one more talent on sub tree pls
poison, so dispellable by some dps
do you guys farm the token gear? will the honor gear superior to this one?
honor gear will be better
dont see any point of getting token gear unless you wanna stomp this weak or something
I see thank you
I like new rogue changes kek
Honor gear is better than base Token Gear but upgraded token gear will be better than honor gear (3 iLvl less than conquest gear)
this question is so funny
lol 3 rogues
now i am at new map
doing quests like a pleb
i just noticed king's bane dot dmg is boosted by deadly poison again
another reason that we have to give up woundn
Every arena had 2 rogues at the minimum so far
omGah neRF rOGuEs foRUm PleeaSe
I did a bg today, 6 rogues out of the 15 alliances 😂
Is it still sophic devotion
no real answer yet
seems each combination can work
brew buffs rupture dmg by a ton, but bite can be a super big hit with vein and rotten
danse can be good if you still use ST
I've been rocking this so far as assa. It pumps.
Outlaw bros what's your pvp setup
The only downside - sometimes when sudden demise triggers on hunters i think they're pretending. 
I am slightly different than yours
still debating if i need blindside
i dropped points in the main tree removing the sprint speed talent and the snare reduction for subterfuge
tbh
I got used to playing without the 'fuge.
The snare reduction kind of sucks because it doesnt reduce roots
yeah i don't use that
Well into lethality it goes then.
it works only for against aug or sth
Can you guys drop your sub trees as well pls!
am playing the most cooked build
Yeah i think this looks nicer. Still not sure if lethality or er is worth
why do you pick a talent there for a poison you don't use
Pick up that feint
The double charge is so clutch
No Goremaws?
nope
Whyy?
why cant you buy anything from the pvp vendors this week?
Numbing?
yeah why would you pick that
But I use numbing. 
because i was racing a friend on patch launch and didnt want to keybind it
very cooked build
Ama coward.
Soooo uh
Lol Okayy if you like not having Goremaws then it’s good
Are you on NA
Can I get a bite build xD
he is in EU w me
Yeee boooii
Lame was gonna see your open
hmmm
drop either 1 pt danse or 1pt finality and then take goremaws
also uhh dont run vigor swap that for cold blood
Okay howabout this then.
Unless you still using dtb
The only thing is I don't know if er is worth.
I think mine is better
why not ER
I don't think the crit matters that much
It just feels like i'll get more value over time from rushed than from subterfuge. Without it my opener is cheap-gar-gar as is.
Fiiine i'm sold. But still hope lethality is the play, don't care much for er lol
And costs zero energy, I feel like it’s the reason I even have enough to not have to pool
anyone has a good sub pvp build?
nice, evoker did a 100K dps game
Yeah sobe lizzards definitely hit hard
Mmmm sobe
I recommend to anyone to afford 1 point into shadowcraft, it actually makes a lot of difference
Also sepsis is pretty good. By default it does around 170~210k and with preforated veins it can easily do 350k. Dispellable, but still a lot of potential value for a 1 global
sepsis + duel stun + regular rotation and just watch them die
Its a good drink I won’t lie xD
Yeah I wanna try sepsis with dance as assa since it works with MA
Subterfuge was fixed to snapshot NS too
Was running sepsis last season as assa, was so op, no one ever expected it. Could always open with kidney into a sepsis cheap
Yeah i dig sepsis, its a good flexible talent .
Yeah I think it’ll be better with dance too
Agreed
Opener can cheap, garrote, shiv, dance/tea, cheap kingsbane envenom. Then next go, kidney,shiv, sepsis, cheap ambush
you go vein with sepsis not bite?
Filthy roguesies whats it gots in its pocketses!
I alternate, since you won't have bite for every go
Perf + sepsis for one setup, perf + goremaw for the next etc
“We see rogues making good use of their tools, warlocks don’t like that so we are changing that “
you picked one less point for finality?
Yep that’s one way of doing it
Are you guys running Hemotoxin and no Wound if you play without DTB?
Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. But I feel like it depends on comp. If they have a lot of off heals wound probably better
Deadly + Hemo more popular in here, but no certainty
I haven’t found a non DTB build I like, sudden death feels meh. But need to play more to really see.
sudden death is basically just for 10% bleed dmg bonus
Personally this rework has been a giant monkeys paw for me but I am glad people are enjoying it
any1 know how much honor we need for the whole set
Side note, anyone running tier as assa? Set bonus looks trash and stats on tier is also trash
Feels like we’re just going crafted/conq gear
We lost the 4% verse from class tree so feel like we need more verse from gear this season
I didnt talent into finality or deeper daggers at all
what about ST?
Am I supposed to feel more energy starved as outlaw after patch or I'm doing something wrong now
Dunno , 4% flat damage vs other talents just flat out doing more on their own is sick. Definitely a gain there no?
I did take secret tech yeah
the pathing to take it has improved so it's definitely worth the investment
Ex: ambusj dealing a crap ton more as poison and other bleed effects etc
i play this now it feel so good
Glad you found something you enjoy brother
i have 450 bloody tokens which item i should buy
all of them
Friggin blindside procced a lot when i was messing w that on ptr. Assassins definitely have good punch. The tier set was pretty filthy as well as the envenom bomb effect hit pretty hard
Main pieces prob a safe bet . Can upgrade w trophies later on or weapon
We have any intel on that cursed axe yet? Dks are going to shadowmourne it up again once they get that
whats the best move for gearing up right now? should i save all bloody tokens/honor/conq?
Pretty much yeah, that’s what we all have been doing.
starting this week or next wek? does ilvl of it go up next week
now
oh cool
Thats fine, haste doesn’t stink anymore. Some haste is decent
and which for off hand?
Up to you, its minimal difference
give me a outlaw pvp built any one please
Crackshot go bang, bang, bang, bang.
ty alot
I already miss having BR in pve, charge is so nice.
Did anyone experiement with No Dance Assa?
Just did the Wpvp Wquests
there was a 500 b.tokens available
so i already bought 4 pieces
wrists/belt/back and offweapon
Yeah EU has a 500 token quest in caverns
Secret tech or no secret tech
just found out you can buy 1 trophy of strife for 3500 honor so no more waiting for weekly sparks quests to upgrade warmode gear
not gonna say i might farm a whole stock pile this weekend but i might....
also just did this spark quest and got 0 trophy is it not given this week?
I don’t think it is but I haven’t touched wow yet since patch
im guessing conq still resets on tuesday? I hate they gave us all these weeklys to load us up and then take it lol
just did it on my rogue no trophy from spark quest and checked on my hunter and it doesnt offer it as a reward... they either screwed up or its not until tuesday we can get them
Check your currency tab my guy
its not there
Then idk, i got them from quest. Just isn't an item in your bags, but shows up in your currency tab.
Hello everyone who is looking better between assa/outlaw?
did you do it yesterday? Im guessing they removed it cause its not even apart of the spark quest rewards when i check my hunter
I did it 4 hours ago, on EU
seems like a ninja hotfix dude
they screw it w stuff like that
is not the 1st time something happens w trophies
its amazing
I would lean towards Sub since sin gets hard countered by dwarf race and so much other dispel shit
and since dwarf is bis pve race too there's a lot of them
so outlaw not a choice?
now goremaw bite do more
the ilvl on tuesday will more than make up for lack of tier
honor gear > Season 2 tier
wpvp gear > season 2 tier
agreed
i feel like i lose so much pressure not being able to open with kidney
prob going to be 1-2 token world quests and some gear quests. i just went for the weps first lol
Yeah, we're not supposed to get Trophies this week
Some people got lucky because Blizz fucked up
And some people bought a bunch of conquest trophies
Blizz probably won't do anything about that either
thats so annoying
Indeed, I spent all my conquest buying boxes last week
same
damn I deadass forgot how lit Bleach was
what do you guys find the best burst combo for sub is now?
with goremaws bite and everything now
well I dont use The Rotten anymore
and idk if we are supposed to track Perforated Veins now
Oh hell yeah.
This was definitely worth it.
what
how?
dont tell me that you farm it with killing ppls
If you have it talented, and if you are using rotten, you definitely want to track it. Not sure if you would want to track it as much if you dont have rotten though
Kingsbane rocks. We need to of course wait until people gear up, but it feels like a valid way of killing someone in a cloud with.
It starts eating people pretty fast.
650 of those were from WQs. Then just killing bounties and opening boxes while I did the emerald dream stuff.
The rest I farmed with a GY camp group
holy lol
You can only buy those if you're behind
Now back to moping about the changes and try to find a way to justify not playing Dance on Assa
Like you can earn 8 Trophies a week from the Sparks quest, and you start an alt 3 weeks into the season, you can catch up for the missed weeks that way
Just use it as a Kingsbane boost.
I just really really dislike Dance. Always did.
dont you just use ambush instead of mutilate
trophy are not usable now ?
I'm pretty happy with it currently. But I do think thematically only sub should have it.
RIP
It kinda wraps the entire playstyle around it. Even more so in PvE.
idk i think only going into stealth outside combat is kinda lame
I get it. Dance is cool and you can do neat stuff with it
And that is fine for Sub, let it have its niche. I just don't like it on Assa.
Really is a cursed timeline when Sub plays with Cold Blood and Assa has Dance kek
I didnt take Cold Blood on sub
Im ina 5 man group rn, literally afk since im with my warrior alt
they kill, i watch xD
I am pretty sure on lower rating I can just play 6CP Assa without Dance anyway
But knowing that its suboptimal kinda hurts
I like all the other changes tho
Meaty Ambush procs
Surely there is a way
Kingsbane feel good to press
so is CT just it's own thing now? I always was confused why they didnt just make it apply rupture
Max gear it can do 250k a tick
I would happily trade some of the damage we have now for any kind of defense.
all you have to do is play sub and you dont even have to sacrifice dmg :^)
Yeah I know :^)
Technically, 20% elusive + 5+ dn + 3 % atrophic w dtb + versatility and decent healing package should be slick no? Not including versatility and veil if chosen
Agreed
if you wanna look at it that way
