The 15% nerf on KB won't be that bad, right? Lol
dam
Just got 1600 thanks to Kingsbane just now. Let's go🚶♂️
Gonna wait till Tuesday and see what the vault brings. Amped
No idea it was getting nerfed I only saw sub nerfs
It shouldn't be to hard of a hit for us
they probably will keep nerfing rogues just because of community bs as always though.
Anyone have a good link to a current-patch sub pvp guide?
there's basic guides on wowhead/iceyveins
anything beyond that gameplay wise it's best to find something on YT
Greenskins, killing spree, count the odds. Pros/cons? seems everyone is running something diff
curious for rbg's. is it sub or sin usually?
i'm used to sub historically. or well, with what i'm used to. but not sure if present form of sin is strong enough
since the whole sap/capping options isn't ther. and sin has very good kill pressure on a short cd
yeah i mean rotation is basically just a priority list, and what you can/want to do can change a lot mid combat
it's not really like pve where you can just do the same exact 2 rotations for ST/AoE
builds on YT vids go out of date pretty quickly with tuning etc, but palumor makes some decent ones.
sometimes pikaboo has decent guides
No ho or crackshot?
Crackshot :)
Vanishing to crackshot :(
i think they r asking between those choices
personal preferance honestly but i only run kspree vs stuff thats going to spam root me and peel me but not go me
GSW for damage usually, havent been running much cto this season
So I did some 2s yesterday on outlaw and it suddenly feels kinda shit? Anyone else experiencing this?
Week 1, I was able to get 1800 in less than 50 games. Now, 30 games later, I'm still stuck at 1800
All I fight are plate classes and I do 0 damage to them
In SS?
Waited 40 minutes last time I tried
In SS I have 78ish rounds won and 128ish played and I'm only 1515
Was basically a fresh mmr though. Haven't play rogue in pvp since wrath
That blows considering the queue times
Last season I got 2k in shuffle in around 100 rounds but I didn't even try until mid season so the inflation was helping there
Yeah.... feels bad going 5-1 only getting 24 points lol
I mostly avoid shuffle on dps because of queue times
I was just surprised yesterday that 2s felt like such a struggle. It's my best bracket and most seasons I get 2100 within the first month or so
Maybe I just needed better healers or something idk
Maybe I suddenly suck now lol
I cant find an arena partner to save my life. I wish I could do 2s.
All my friends quit playing forever ago lol
I just do LFG
Though I did play with a buddy yesterday
But he plays hpal mainly which is kind of shit right now
I've noticed that... every time I have a hpal on my team in SS im worried lol
lol yeah
I started on my 2nd rogue which was at 1600. As soon as we hit 1800 mmr we got shit on
He'd go oom before I could kill something
Then later I swapped to my main rogue and found an rdruid in lfg which was better but still felt kind of shit compared to a couple of weeks ago
And I have 4 set too so I'm just confused here
What spec are you playing??
Outlaw
probably falling off
i have a feeling law will fall off more as people gear up since its relying on crit scaling and stacking vers which is already heavily DR'd even if its still our best stat
that plus plate and not having armor pen
shuffles def felt harder this week, people are getting better at peeling law like its a sub rogue (press all cc buttons whenever u press dance or vanish) and just healing thru ur damage between goes
don't make me say it again
...............................................................
GIVE OUTLAW FIND WEAKNESS
Yeah
Looks like another season of outlaw being bottom rung
I was afraid of this because from my testing on ptr, the damage felt amazing before the conquest gear was available. Then when everyone was fully geared it felt very mid into most things, and absolutely terrible into plate
Removing find weakness was a huge mistake
Idk I'm probably just going to get 2100 for the weapon illusion and then quit until war within
I'm very tired of trying to make outlaw work

Raz what's your take on outlaw? I just don't know why it feels like I'm struggling
I only see people playing sub
Outlaw has almost no representation
Hey I play assassin. Lol
I see those occasionally in 2s
I've only fought one other outlaw so far
And he got shit on lol
I've seen 2 outlaws in SS
No assassin and like 10 sub
i’ve only done a bit of shuffle and some 2s and it feels good
If you're playing assas then you probably won't see others because shuffle doesn't want to put two of the same spec in the same lobby
Ahh that makes sense
it tries to avoid it unless the ladder is so skewed towards a class it would add far too much time to queue times
Lol @ demon hunters probably having to wait an hour each que
(see post ret rework, or this season with dh)
I haven't gotten a shuffle to pop yet for my outlaw. For 2s it felt great in week 1 and 2, now it's starting to feel like it's falling off hard. All I fought yesterday were plate classes that I do no damage to. So I have to tunnel healer all game which feels bad.
I had a shuffle the other day on rdruid that had 2 arms warriors in it. The other two were DK and spriest. I'm sure you can guess how that went lol
sheesh 2 arms is rare
spec representation isnt that high
ive had half a dozen double dh games this season tho
fun times
cant wait for the pve nerfs to hit. im not even sure itll be enough
You must be playing a different shuffle from me. Because I see arms literally every game
War representation is not super high like DH but it’s still solid
oh theres plenty of arms but usually a spec needs to represent like 30% of the ladder for u to regularly queue into double lobbies of it
and thats very rare outside post ret rework and DH rn
Out of 150 or so rounds as rdruid I've only had 1 shuffle that didn't have arms in it
Yeah that's true
I think I had only one double arm queue this season
Some arm+fury
but fury in general is not a lot
Yeah I'm not seeing much fury
Maybe we will after reset though with all those buffs
This is basically the story
basically aligns with what i expierenced
and when i queue with DH alt last two week, only 1 lobby was without double DH
Yeah every shuffle is basically DH, UDK, arms, and 4th is either a duplicate of one of the prior, or a lock, hunter, or pally. Healers are just disc and rdruid
Pretty much
Is it a net nerf? I couldn't tell
basically a nerf
Don't know much about their individual spells
BM needs more nerfs I think. Even without 4 set they pump. And all that was nerfed was set bonus I believe
when will rogue gets a pvp talent that boosts bleed dmg by 20% for sin
lol that would suck honestly. I hate having pvp talents that are just more dps
Do I just convert two of my conquest pieces?
I wish enduring brawler was just built into outlaw
convert conquest or trophy world pvp
I haven't figured out how to get the world PVP gear yet
You also get a free tier piece at 1600
I'm always so happy to see a hunter in the lobby.
I shred them so fast playing sin. After turtle it's basically GG
Oh nice, we're almost 1400 so hopefully soon
It just makes me so mad every time I heal shuffles and see BM hunters going 5-1 or 6-0 without even attempting to land traps
If I were on rogue though then I'd rather face BM than the plate classes though
One I had yesterday went 0-6 didn’t use one trap and barely used turtle. Then proceeded to talk shit lol
Rogue destroys hunter in shuffle
I am attempted to drop lock and play BM now for this season
BM after tomorrow gonna tickle 😂
but i guess i will stay with lock just as something new of every season
BM is also not trained enough
yeah BM will still be good
Yeah it’s just the third pet but it’s a decent amount it’s nerfed by
BM = hit barb shot every exact 7 sec
And tier already nerfed in arena
then 2 btn
The one button spam being about 80% of your damage is just incredible lol
Yeah
Kill command also has a 50yd range too just so ridic lol
That’s keybound to my mouse on mine and I think I give myself carpal tunnel spamming that lol
I really don't understand why the balance team seems obsessed with the easiest specs being the strongest
Should be the opposite
I hope outlaw doesn’t stick out now I’ve had quite a few people over the weekend tell me we need to get nerfed lol
Meh. I can't seem to do anything to plate classes and that's all anyone plays now
Outlaw feels like booty against plate
Outlaw seems fine
Idk I feel like with a good 12 second crack window I can chunk a warrior pretty good
DKs go down pretty damn fast too lol
Crackshot hits warriors thru their parry defensive too. Killed one with that the other day 😂
ok but if its over 12s r u really chunking :p
i think laws damage sustain during crackshot windows is ok for sure
Chunking aka chipping lmaooooo
Tomato tomatoooo 😂
But you are right def doesn’t feel the same when I’m hitting a clothie or a hunter
I wish everything melted like the mages do
Anyone know how Affliction is doing atm? I been wanting to give it a shot
yea i mean rn it feels like if im proccing in a dance i can seriously threaten a mage
if i proc in a dance on a warrior.... he might be half hp by the end of it
why is it that the first SS queue of the day is instant but every queue after that takes an hour+
definitly noticing the difference
ive faced a few aff doing 100k+ dps but also they dont generally go positive in my lobbies
id say its a lot of rot but healers can keep up with it because they dont have an MS
I’m crafting some 486 thorn boots tomorrow. Gonna see how a lil extra damage does lol
demo seems better
Right on... makes me sad demo is my least favorite spec for lock
A good lock is a dead lock
The toxic thorn boots do some healing too right?
Yeah there must be something I'm doing wrong
Or maybe I'm just focusing too much on a bad session
Bro I had a terrible first session. Had a lock that'd afk if the rounds took too long.
3-3
They have that soul nonsense that “is” an ms no? Where you have to go pick up your soul or some jazz.
Hey you dropped your soul
uh idk i havent seen anyone play it
every aff ive faced has just been trained into the ground and struggled to win even while doing top damage
id say alot of the damage is easy to heal rot
Yeah its some funky soul rip thing
I haven't even seen an aff this season
demo is just better yea
plus it gets to pollute the enemies screen with 500000 unit frames
Afk making hot dogs and demons kill ppl
god i hate this spec so much
lol yup
Making hotdogs lol
XD
Anyone know what ilvl fully upgraded conquest gear gets you?
In pve you mean?
Ye
Not sure
My pieces still seem to be on the champion track for some reason
Yeh they changed it
Last I checked
Hotfix the other day
I need more crests >:(
I've barely played this season at all
Should I play WW monk or balance druid as my 2nd toon this season? Druid seems pretty solid
I'm so out of the loop on everything lol
Wind wanker got a 6% buff tomorrow so maybe a big chunk?
I don't even know what embellishment to make other than the infurious boots
I'm not gonna bother with them
Last season I got to 1900 in SS playing WW. Was harder than I would like to admit lol
bruh
fckin
allways alliance druids
afk last round because hes KT because he sucks
The gear updates for the PvP is nice
Once you hit rival you get the wrym crests and then duel is aspects
Already maxed out all the low level ones cause of pvp alone lol
They also included buy ups. So once you hit a certain ilvl in all slots u can spent like 90 drakes on 15 wrym and so on
I wish they had this system last season so I didn't have to farm mythic plus for fangs
Yeah that would have been nice
And now fangs are garbo lol
Still doing keys anyways they are way easier than last season 2300 after two weeks lol
Using that time dagger for my outlaw and sin pvp sets 😂
Damn that's crazy
Last season was already piss easy
My derp ass got 2k io after a few weeks just from farming fangs
i kinda hate this season's upgrade system
And I don't even know a thing about mythic plus
i don't understand how to get the mat to upgrade
Yeah this one’s even more of a joke. Could def use it for 483/489 chance of gear to PvP with lol
it's dumb as fuck
For the crafting?
and if you don't get it from vault
it's unranked piece
then you need to find 128401371028 materials you don't know where to get to upgrade them
apparently officials think this is the better way to manage gear upgrade lol
this thing, i have 150, not sure how i got them
so i don't know if i should spend them too
lol
You get all those crests from winning pvp games lol
for real?
Oh shit didn't they make them a currency? I was wondering why I didn't have any in my bags
when i move my cursor on it. it says we get it from myth+ 6-10
even if we can get it from pvp games, i think it's really a little
Anyone know how to get catch up sparks? One of my rogues is missing some
i have got only 150 this season
maybe lfr raid?
i don't know for sure, but least sesaon when i came back after a long break, i got a bunch of them doing raid
sparks?
You can buy trophies of strife with honor if you're behind
trophies are easy
like for crafting stuff?
just honor
I thought you were supposed to get them from pvp but I haven't gotten any
Yeah the dream sparks are whatever the fuck they are called
For crafting stuff
craft spark -> one half from main quest 10.2
all others you can get from pvp weeklies or the new zone reputation 1500 quests -> if you do it at the week
catch up, not certain, but last season i got catch up sparks from difference places
like lfr raid each boss gave me one but also random pvp activities
I was planning on playing way more characters this season but I can barely keep up with the ones I have
Yeah I really underestimated how much time it would take to do all the chores on every char
or if any 1 is a healer, it's probably quite doable
it's a lot easier when you do it at end of season
when you don't care about vault that much
Ahh sorry thought you were talking about the sparks of life 😅
Somebody link the dark brew sub build
that's the better one after goremaw's nerf right?
I was going to do 2 rogues (both outlaw), 2 druids (1 resto 1 feral), priest, and maybe some other stuff. Then I realized I can barely keep up with the two rogues, so dropped everything except the rogues and an rdruid
yeah i think it's good call
ope I mean kill target
i might want to drop lock too from next week
I thought because you were talking about alliance specifically
jk
RAHHHH
Next week, craft ring + world pvp all done, like it
No it was just a coincidence that Kul-Tiran can be druids and kill target abbreviated is KT
.>
druid was a nelf
shocker I know
I’m only on one character now until fully pvp geared with conq then it’s time for alts lol
I have actually gotten shit from people in shuffle before for playing kul tiran
As if my race choice somehow affects them lol
Nelf with outlaw feels OP in arena just cause of the additional restealth
Don't remind me
Been playing bomb and got a few people off the start of a match with 3 crack windows lol
delete meld
I was hella disappointed when I found out it doesn’t work in raid. Surprised they didn’t apply that to PvP too
Well problem is that meld drops combat in pvp but not in raid
And after dropping combat you can enter real stealth
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think meld by itself doesn't work with stealth abilities. You have to stealth afterwards, then use stuff. Right?
Yeah you have to restealth. I have mine w a cast sequence macro with stealth
Makes sense
And even then you have to use ambush or something first cause if you BTE right out of that it puts it on CD before subterfuge procs
So yeah the solution would be to make meld not drop combat in pvp then
Yeah when they do that time to race change again 😂
lol
I just think nelf outlaw feels wrong aesthetically/fantasy
So I don't play it
Even though it's 1000x better
The extra stealth speed is a nice boost. Think I’m at 171% movement with stealth up lol
Sprinting in stealth now is hilarious
Turbo speed
I still miss freedom sprint
Would probably be too much with how often we have sprint now though
I am a 3-3 MACHINE
js no one asked for sprint CD reduction talent >.>
We always had 1 min sprint though
The difference is we spend way more cps now than before
So we get sprint faster than we used to
it was stolen from us 😠
i will admit i cant believe realz gave it back AND gave us longer duration faster sprint to boot

I cant believe Realz did a lot of things tbh
all my play styles disappear.
now I get to play like sub
the conquest gear you buy should be automatically upgraded
Seriously, outlaw feels like sub-lite this xpac, only instead of calling it secret tech we call it crackshot, and instead of find weakness we have...nothing.
I just want a viable PvP build option in the spec tree that doesn't need shadowdance to be effective
Yeah definitely not going to happen this expac. Maybe next
Yeah I made the case on the forums and it didn't move the needle...hopeful we can get some changes to differentiate the specs a little more in the next xpac
remove shadowdance entirely 😄
I mean, there are plenty of players who enjoy shadowdance, I'm not advocating for its removal, I just want, y'know...options.
Crackshot would have worked fine with AR instead of dance, for example
well not really design wise
cause u are in AR 95% of the time in pve now
and if u had crackshot perma ud be in AR probably 80%+ of the time in pvp
u generate so much cdr during crackshot windows
If crack worked in adrenaline windows we would be smoking people lol
yeah agreed, it would need adjusting, but conceptually I think tying our burst to AR makes sense thematically and logistically
Unfair level of high constant DPS if that were the case lol
it doesnt because AR is a high uptime buff in general so it can never be actual "burst"
laws not really a burst spec
but i get what u mean
ud need to lower uptime to AR to like 30% (like stealth for outlaw rn)
to tie something like crackshot to it
crackshot in AR was my idea and when I said it, I also said it would work for X amount of seconds, NOT the whole duration.
I made it clear
NOT
the whole duration
however I wouldnt say no
hell I'd even be okay with Crackshot being an active ability
whats one more button
I did not say the whole duration, that was another convo elsewhere
Yeah I'm just hoping they give us a viable non-sd build choice next time around
time to lurk the forums
what the heck
i was kicked from server
and im unable to join again
my char is in nowhere to be found and character unstuck service doesnt works
wtf
They just had a server shutdown
:l
still donw
Think it’s probably going to be about an hour
I didn't transmog this season
let me try
looks no bad
but nothing too fancy either
Is that the DK set?
dk set is 🔥 this season
priest set is great, too
Mage set looks like the end-of-season sale at Spirit Halloween
thats missing the best part of the dh set, the helm
actually replaces ur head with a blazing skull 
The current problem with the rogue class talent tree is Echoing Reprimand. All the other covenant rogue abilities are available a tier earlier in both trees. Earlier accessibility generally translates to lower powered abilities. Despite this, the other covenant abilities feel about as strong as ER with a single point invested. ER also allows a second point investment. This is generally advisable since taking the ability without Resounding Clarity makes it much, much worse. Yet, adding Resounding Clarity to it doesn't make it "feel" like a proper capstone talent, it just feels like a compulsory point allocation.
ER with RC is also somewhat random in terms of a burst profile, and while it used to be fun to press since it used to animacharge CP as early as 2, allowing for stronger burst deployment, it now animacharges 3 CP at the very lowest.
Also, the other node option for Resounding Clarity is just a worthless ability. It doesn't in any way change the way the ability works, it's just, "ok, if you don't want to deal with extra animacharged combo point usage, you can take this talent instead, but it is far, far worse and your talent point is probably best spent elsewhere."
Which is just not good design
WHY does this have a 2 hour cooldown
Only good thing from that DH set is the helm
And thankfully we can get that as a mog on rogue
I like the horns with the fire lol
I think the clear winners are DK and Priest, with shaman as runner-up
shamans is nice im a fan
WDYM
Man I will never put the helm on
this looks good
somehow relates to orc stories to me
Love the mog I'm using right now. Get to put that tabard of conquest to use 😅
lol doing a ult lower lobby, a hpal just went nut
03 to open (me 30)
started to shit talk about himself (am i the problem am i the noob etc.)
then i carried him another win, me 40, him 3-1
then r5, he got completed lost in position, i died he called me lining
i was like, dude, everybody fought in the right side of the map, you are at left side out of the pillar
i lined you?
then he threw physical protection to random guy and gave up r6
Hpal - Barnie
that’s a great looking undead rogue.
armor mostly looks like scraps on them but that is amazing
I'm seeing a consistent ~35k dmg differencial between dark brew build Evis vs goremaw build Evis, assuming both non-crits
I'm really trying but having a hard time accepting that a 35k dmg increase is worth giving up cold blood and sec tech and rotten
But dark brew is now overwhelming majority so maybe im just wrong
Experiment and find what you like and roll with that.
Those guys are doing it because they are just focused on eviscerate / finishers and not caring about generator damage at all. Which is cool and should be a playstyle however shouldn’t justify nerfing us as a whole as the forum monkeys constantly call for.
I think the major difference is at rupture
Huge diff
Finality : Rupture + Dark brew + replicating can be pretty sick yes but /shrug
I thought we got nerfed pretty much because 30% shadow dmg is fixed
It’s basically a 40% finisher dmg ‘buff’
finality "is" tuned down as far as I've last heard but dunno.. that's why they are going after blades now.
The current week tuning is acceptable
the large amounts of mastery stacking and ignoring versatility as pretty much what is going on as they aren't caring about gloom/backstab/striking
agreed, i'm cool with that tuning, doesn't kill us off.
yeah im mostly talking about rmx where the mage is presheeping the kill target anyway
Nerfing CD and part of blade dmg
so rupture isnt really a thing
Yeah that’s true
yeah never digged thieve's anwyway
anyway*
yeah same time, they can just DB / poly and wipe rupture off anyway when theyw ant
they tuned down finality?
a lot of CC now just turns dots off
"allegedly" it's halved in pvp but I don't buy that.
wait, like, already? or planned to go live tmr?
it's really jsut tea granting the mastery stacker kids over 100% and they say hyperbole statements like " i have infinite resources" and just makes us look silly
it is supposedly halved this entire expansion dunno as I don't care for that style
ah
if i were a dev id just remove veil of midnight
that's stop rogues from brainlessly pressing all in macros and cloaking disarms etc
they keep adding in shit for other classes, I don't care about being fair at this point as they aren't going to do us justice either
afk dying behind pillars to pets and other silly things.
isnt bm going in the coffin tmr?
not really tier gets hit and the set bonus is already nerfed in pvp
they blasting without it anyways lol
Whats the ilvl people usually have in solo shuffle so far? I'm at 480 and I don't know if it's enough
Bm is going to slam anyway, just no longer 80k big boy spam hits right?
480 is solid man, we can't really get higher atm until more conquest / tier etc.
thank you!
no sweat dude, hope that kinda helped
wont be able to get close to 489 for a few more weeks
highest probably 484 or so for now so 480 is good to go
man first rated of the day 3-3.....
after 2nd round holy goes " do more damage than the sub" next rounds did the most overall and this holy went 0-6 oooooofffffff
just realized frost DK running their aoe stun shield gives so many precogs not even funny lol
Interesting that it does that. Glad the paladin ate crap too.
Guy rage whispers me
Told him he died to Mariah Carey’s all I want for christmas
“You have been ignored”
is that song that hated in the US?
Yes
If its so hated why is it still being played everywhere 24/7 xD
Marketing
for rbg what the best rogue spec is it still sub
for new players, is it easier to run sin in solo shuffle than sub
Yeah sub is very good too but it depends on the comp
Assa dies quickly
And outlaw sucks into plate lol
The update reset all my addons...fun
Not sucks but you can feel the dam fall off
Impossible 
isn't sub also a physical dmg class? I thought the only non-physical is the secret tech stuff and if you run dark brew (i don't)
wait my bad gloomblade and shadow blades also deals shadow dmg
ya dk can use there stupid sheilds against it
i dont like christmass music and never listern to it lmfaoo only here when at some one else christmas party or so
It’s kinda like if you go anywhere or if you turn on tv or radio…
also is it normal that sub rogue is always bottom dps in shuffle unless something gets 1-shot?
once sub pops all cds if the target is not dead then they're just kinda useless for the next 2 mins?
Actually s3 is the highest overall dps sub ever has in solo queue
No, you can have a okay go without shadow blade
The key is to set it up properly and make sure your teammate on board..
ok
For this week you alone can do quite a burst at second and third go
why this week in particular
Well we got a small nerf tmr
what's the nerg
How is 4 set for sub?
Are ppl even running the 4 set?
You could yeah if you used hellbloom gear at the catalyst
there's no mast/vers tier pieces, and the tier set is worse than season 2, according to the wow pvp reddit
5% nerf to blades (so 5% to all dmg)
Its not worse, plenty of energy talent options instead of relying on a set and the finisher damage is good.
so what's the play with sepsis on sub ? seeing kalvish absolutely demolish people with that build i wonder how sub plays with it
do we just press it on cd and get the extra shadowstrikes + evisc in for some more dmg ?
or is there some 5head strat to using it ?
just press it in dance as a shadowstrike essentially
Why not get through perforated?
Because sepsis is the better option in that build
So we still need to press that shit?
Jesus Christ 😂
Just replace with goremaws and dont bother
Just press
did someone run the sims if we are going all life bound left and right in the end or are normal conquest better for the extra vers?
you guys think sub deserves even more nerfs than what is coming?
FOR THE HORDE, YOU ALLIANCE SCUM!
❓
lol
Are you one of them alliance freaks?
I'll put you down like dog in the street
Cringe
Why?
Faction loyalty is what makes a man
Is it?
Fuck that means you're right
I honestly don't care
Ever since the undead remodel, they look like shit
Had to try other stuff
I stopped pvping in the first day of the season
For the Horde !
What are we hoping for from the vaults
if you play sub, you should be hoping for some bitches
I bet I can log in better than you
RAHHHHHHH
time to get me dem night sharts
RAHHHH
Legion balance of power stuff?
aint no way I get tier head two weeks in a row LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KMS
how does one can do that to these zug zug warriors at 1.6k 😄
is the 4 piece tier set worth it for PVP?
RAHHHH
The achievment is now account wide, so you got them in all your characters btw
I did that shit during legion and during that time I was only playing one character so lucky me xd
lmao, is there a fast way to farm stones for craft spark? (idk whos dumb idea was to add them)
It was dumb as fuck. Usually isn't a problem if you only play one character
Comparatively worst piece for sub for most people
I just skipped entry questline on alt and realize i need these shit to craft :sadge
you could run a couple m+2s with new players and get a bunch from finishing
since most of them havent did m+ yet so you get bonus flightstones
skirmishes
I doubt. 417 ilvl.
Hi there. Great, i'll try. I hoped they at least would add them into the pvp crate.
lol Fury pulling 250k sustained in shuffle
and the nerf to sub is felt
can't kill people in stuns anymore 😦
even losing will give u those things
so go for it
XD
after that try LFR
when u get full honor
so no queue this week?
i finally got most gear done
holy shit that fury warrior i was in q with 2 shot me and a pall lol wat
I've got full honor from s2 😄 I just need 2 crafted items lol
go for it XD
or wait
can help u getting a spark
So they are testing new brawl and decided to add these stones into skirmishes, well done 😄
wait a little im going w the ret
OOF
gimme ur name in DM
Someone let me know how kings bane feels. I'm at work for another 4 hours
feels like 70 percent of a kingsbane
pp down
70? Wasn't the nerf for 15%?
O O F
immediately opened wow and checked my vault.. discord was never closed
lmao a fury warrior just dueled me to test burst using a sequence macro. Pulled 430k burst on me with 32% vers
another dumb question. How many catalyst charges do we have at this point? (can't check my self with green gear)
what in the fuck
wtf fury warrs
2
i run into double fury war in skirmish
and that tank decided to do 1 on 2
and i think he almost did it....
it's a DH tank..
ya Fury is stupidly overtuned
its like DH on day 1 of season
time to level fury up
I still got my pre-order boost to use... maybe it'll be for a warrior lol
100% warrior. you are luck to have that
lmao that burrst. I have never seen it so high in pvp
Fury is my favorite warrior spec so this is cool till I have to fight them lol
I’d rather fury be top dog than DH
100%
Bout to deck out my fury warrior when I get home
Thank god for the new honor purchase to transfer it to alts 😂
What race should I make mine? Meta orc or master race troll? Lol
Uh could you tell me more about this??
Who sells it and what’s it called
From the honor vendor
You can spend 2500 honor on an emblem you can send to other toons. They can crack it for 1500 honor
It’s like 2.5k honor and u can transfer 1.5k
Orc warrior only answer
Awesome thx
Upright Orc too looks more badass lol
panda
More like beta orc race
Amirite?
ye
What spec??
sub
Oh okay I was gonna say how tf did you get 96% (if playing sin) lol
think sin is similar
How is 4 set for sub?
If you don't mind me asking
You seem to know what you're doing lol
I don't think i am over stacking, just regulard mastery gear
dagger even still haste
I even took two sockets for rogue 😦
How many pieces with crit do you have to reach almost 30% crit and still have 95+% mast ?
I have 60% as sin right now
in pvp?
Also can't feel the difference. Was thinking of just using vers/mast conquest chest
Yeah but too late, picked the vault set
Honestly it’s not bad either
So
I am fine with currrnt
I actually don't even like the set so rng
Tho I do like getting the darkness rupture
is there a plater profile or something else that filters dots that dont need to be tracked in pvp for sin rogue?
is the scaling way for the specs
sub scales close to twice the amount of mastery compared to assa
i thought i was big brain trying to analyze my gameplay and shit and overthink situations
then i realised how broken we are and insta trinket cloak and oneshot everyone
You say that till people actually defend well and wise up
Us subtlety rogues used to have a 50% aura on eviscerate to keep it strong. As find weakness has been reduced over the years other things like macabre have taken its place to help keep those eviscerates true.
alot of classes cant punish a rogue for insta trinket and oneshotting because they cant go thru cloak
only another rogue can do something like step disarm another rogue with cloak up
They should remove the cloak pvp talent but theyll prob end up just nerfing dmg instead
Cloak is a high chance to resist stuff.
- stormbolt goes through cloak
- both demon hunter stuns
- enhancement not sure if that earthquake ability was moved to physical to ignore cloak but earthen grasp will ignore closk and vanish and earth elemental will stun on command if they have it out.
Lots of classes do have stuff, they just don’t know things
im 99% sure the aoe stun for DH is magic and wont go thru cloak, and earth ele stun is dodgeable, do it all the time with evasion
issue is they usually only have one thing that goes thru cloak and not another
so rogue will trinket the first one
Plenty of times cloak has definitely failed on magic this expansion
Failed resisting x
Yes the ele stun is dodge able but not from behind so the shaman has to be smart about it. Only dh can dodge from behind
They have team mates for a reason, they can cover what x class cannot
u can still step kidney or cheap shot through cloak
Yes
You’re still using cds to do something which is good
Which other classes need to do as well
Like diglit nonsense from shaman
Rogues pay attention to interactions and holes in things, other classes don’t . They just whine about rogues. A shitty tale as old as time, case closed. Nothing to see there.
as a rogue, and thus an enlightened individual capable of seeing interactions and holes in things, it's a bad hole when any class can be both completely immune to interaction while also doing enough damage and cc to 100-0 someone in the duration of their immunities
i dont understand ur question
Right but like, if no class can 100-0 someone in the duration of a stun, how do you ever kill anyone other than with dampening?
Probably the better solution would be, lowering Cloak of Shadows' cooldown and duration
30s cooldown, 1.5 second duration
there was a time when it was justifiable for rogues to 100-0 someone in a stun but that was when dance had 1 charge and had no CDR attached with combo points or vanish
When dance has multiple charges and its cd can be artificially reduced I dont think that kind of dmg can go hand in hand
Thats why 3v3 arenas have 2 dps, to collectively 100-0
But 2v2 exists
nobody cares/should care about 2v2 balance
You either go with balancing around 3s or 2s, you cant do both
But saying "nobody should care" about a part of the game is asinine
in the sense that 2s balance was never seriously considered since day 1 of arenas
You can? since when?
Can you not?
Not as far as I know, unless DF changed it
I was about to say titles never even came from 2s until they changed it to a set rating and even then its only upto elite
Oh, it seems you are right
That is
Really weird that the game doesn't make that clear when you queue
before legion 2s never even gave duelist rival etc
Tooltips in this game are just not well done
2v2 should come with an asterisk then, if they really don't care about balancing it, they should tell people queueing for it that
"Warning! 2v2 is not balanced, and we aren't trying to balance it. You also can't get gladiator from this. Do you still want to queue?"
hunter priest/rdruid is usually always king in 2s unless they rework most classes and even then its just another combo that would take top spot
The achieve for gladiator literally says it though
helmet worth taking for 4 set? I already dream crafted helmet btw.
Yeah I already got the dream crafted helmet to replace was just curious if the 4set was worth having it or not
By next week you get 3rd catalyst though so its just one more week
its either helmet or I take the tokens for gem
so sub are we getting 4 pc or 2 pc + crafted, jsut picked up my rogue again. Tried outlaw but sub just feels so much more impactful in pvp
Man I hate the vault so much....
My best choice was socket
2 weeks in a row
Still only have the 2 set... I wish this rng shit would get lost
Tuesday gives me fomo cause I can’t get home and open the vault till 6pm 😂
You have two charges of catalyst now
im assuming they are waiting for the 4th piece to equip both the 3rd and 4th at the same time
since the 3rd piece by itself is a poor stat stick
Or have not reached 1600 rating yet for a piece
so you going 2pc and crafted zeiss?
Yeah
I wouldnt copy me tho I’m only 1850 in shuffle
Shadenox prob knows if you should go 4pc or not
yea just trying to figure it out. 4 pc don't seem too big of an improvment over vers / mast crafted
Was duel always off global??
yes
Duel is kinda toxic btw
Maybe they should make both targets deal less damage in duel idk
duel is kinda an unique design
warrior seems to have a similar one but they never use it
okay, this week, all my chars reach pvp ilv485+
for sin?
4pc sucks
ty trench. it didn't seem too spectacular but I am not math person either
how about for outlaw. I love that spec but sub seems better
I need to be schooled on SuB, 2pc seems ass imo
Educate me on why its good
is it every time a Rupture or on the rupture tick?
Should I be pl;aying replicating shadow with it...
No, fairly low chance, probably 20-30%
our tier set isn't very good for pvp this season
Yeah just gor mine today and did a SS
looking it over in detaisl and it seems ass both 2pc and 4pc I am not sure of yet
it's not bad, 20% chance to do 35% more dmg on evis is solid, just nothing too fancy compared to some other classes
4 tier just seems not an improvement for us
Tier being the way it is is good and leaves room for core abilities and talents to be strong instead of tuning around “guaranteed” effects. Really wouldn’t want to be balanced around tier. It procs a “fair” amount and does good damage.
My demo lock 2tier skill straight up doing 12% dmg …
With 4 tier it’s doing way more just not sure how that is counted in detail
i relish when people talk shit then get clapped within 15 seconds of match starting
I mean I been doing that as sub before 2pc, I was just thinking it didn't feel any diff since I got both 2pc and 4pc imo
people dying 6-8 secs when gate opens not wanting to trinket and use a cd while in Duel = dead
i bombed him as outlaw and clapped him with crackshot lol
I mean its only 2-3% of my dmage, compared to lets say lock or wars both spec. Like @waxen meteor said his lock 2pc is 12% of the dmage
im p sure you want 4pc as sub
its not spectacular but its free dmg, esp on dark brew build crit is a good stat too
if ur on goremaw build then getting 4pc is more debatable but its still not bad cuz it buffs sec tech clone dmg
hmm so as sub 4pc is is also adding to the 2pc 70% or nah?
maybe my build is a$$ cheeks
he was doubtful after using it in arenas according to what he said like a week ago
I see I see....I just need to learn my rotation and so on tbh, probably my issue
personally i dont even think about it. If it procs it procs, if it doesnt it doesnt
Is mastery pretty worthless on outlaw now? obv crit stacking but still have some mastery and it just feels like it isn't adding much
Doesnt rly affect gameplay like season 2 set did
It’s just a small possible nice to have
Doesn’t change much
You can stack up mastery more or stack some crit with 4 tier
Its halved in pvp my man
ahhh right forgot that
But yes it will increase the 2 set effects by 10%
so 50% overall
45% I am bad at math
right
Don’t sweat it ha
But yes its a good set. Nothing too crazy, right in the middle.
Destro tier seems crazy have up a ton of dots and free portals
essentialy dont have to cast just run and kite lol
Season 2 was fixing a lot of core issues because of our previous tree was very very restrictive
I see
Yes sir
Could be 35% *1.1 or 35% + 10%
I would believe it may be something of the sort
(n) x .35 = original
(n) x .45 = condition of 4 equipped and replaces original. Or it may be funky and do that, dunno as I didn’t math that out completely when testing it on ptr . Was looking for functions tests and hidden triggers to report
welp improved opener and overall dps rotation and cc's and just had 2 back 6-0....er not back to back but out of 3 last SS games got 2 6-0
If people just peel you, they wouldn’t be wigging out like the forum nerds
That sux man
And finality is not nerfed in pvp (side note) full 30% so if they do change anything it will prob be those talents as people are over exaggerating stuff as always.
Has it been unnerfed ?
Because, it was nerfed prior to 10.2
yeah the 2nd i get peeled I cry, most my lobbies have been Glads on alt. the 2nd i pop out I get peeled
Not 100% sure as the tooltip tends to “read” 30% consistently. Could remain the same (halved) i thought it was as of last patch. /shrug
For a few days early in the patch dark shadow was 30% but was quickly fixed
Yeh you get peeled and all the overhyped nonsense goes out the window
ikr then you become 1000% cc bot, then folks call you shit for no dmage 🙂
“Rogue uses cds and they do what they are supposed to but that’s not fair” - more news off warlock news network at 10 jim!
yeah it sucks
Where yall go for sparks in waking shores ? No pvp quests usually I just go to them and aoe spam for the quest lol
Treasures / quests/ find people to murder
Totes my gotes
Do all the quest in the zone then join a group my group was where teh dragon rangler pvp quest is
The dragon scale shovel
Gives a lot of treasures and useful stuff but especially for those sparks
Okay thanks yall
Sick. I finally got 1600 1st time ever last night so pumped
Think My I lvl is 483 now I got the trinket on vault lmao
Grats man, keep at it and don’t get discouraged
killing innocent ppl in outdoor with premade groups
sure
once here there was a family which every year did some kind of sweet for xmas
they collected every year champagne cookies, grated coconuts, caramel sauce and some decoration
the kids worked effortfully crushing the cookies, then, in a bowl, mixes the sauce with the cookies and then did some balls with that
they made them roll
in the coconuts and the decoration
Along came the oulaw who laid down the law! Smokin’ fools with a round labeled gingerbread.
with that, for xmas, had the sweets done for before xmas, with all the family eating them while they gleefully receive their gifts
the end
Oh snap based on a true story
More like gingerdead lol
yeah we do that every year
since i was like 9 years old
XD
damn i do feel the KB nerfs
yeah, its wholesome at same time
we love doing that for xmas
still have to test it more
100% do not use thorn boots in pvp lmao. i got them for keys tried them in arena and they do like 1% dmg if that lol
made it up to 485 pvp lvl
what bout just using the verdant conduit?
what is that
Yeah Toxic and Slimey boots were only ever borderline ok last season if you also had the toxic patch. Cloak and boots were by far better
Random Stats with high uptime
i still got my original ones just wanted to see what the thorns did and they do nada even w patch lol
probably gonna switch crit to that didnt even notice the change from crit / boot embelish to patch / toxic lol
I think there’s something can trigger a vers boost for yourself and teammate when you use heal skills
lemme check
Panda I think I'm evil
why lol
hmm
do u have a moment?
lets test this in PTR
i don't have ptr
actually really liking this new upgrade system for pvp. made is a lot easier to get crit/vers pieces to run keys with lol
How is it any easier than last season?
i can get pieces at champion and up to 476
then can get hero pieces and upgrade to that level without using crests
saves crests then upgrades the hero level + stuff for pve
plus getting tons of crests from pvp too
I don't like needing crests for pvp gear
god i hate it
I liked upgrading 8/8 with honor and doing 15s for better gear
Mhm
i maxed out all the crests except for aspects this season already lol
im feeling a little lazy ngl
w 4 chars to cap
literal the last thing i did before reset
they made it easier to upgrade with alts too
if u have a 476 helm on one char u can upgrade w just stones on every other char
I mean are drakes that hard to get?
I feel like every SS win I get like drakes x's 3
This is prolly a stupid question but what exactly does Feint reduce the damage from (if not talented into Elusiveness)?
Does it cut down on ret pally cleave like Wake of Ashes or just AOE stuff like Blizzard?
aoe stuff like blizzard. boomkin starfall etc
Ha?
For real?
for real
So each gear position you just need one char to upgrade?
pretty sure yeah
or if u get a better item in a slot on an alt can do it on ur main
and the flightstones are discounted too
"For a given slot, once you obtain gear of a certain item level, either from upgrading or from drops, all future upgrades will have a 60% discount on their Flightstone cost. This discount is account-wide. Rings, trinkets, and one-handed weapons require two of a certain item level to unlock the discount."
