about the only things I change match to match/scenario to scenario is I will drop bone spike for carnage if it makes sense, and I switch out dismantle for hemo or control is king
but its a passive i have to do nothing to apply or change my rotation
so i didnt think it would do that much
having bleeds on rolling on all three folks at once bumps that up quite a bit . thing is its a seperate other bleed .. so now you have three bleeds on the dude rupture, garrote, internal, then you bone spoke, thats four, then you kingsbane, thats 5
is it right? probably not
do i get a seretonin boost when my targets debuffs extend all the way across the screen ... yes.
guys u know i pay to nova for pve shit
im going next week w ret to fyrakk curve
to see if the fucking lego drops
w the ret
i do not like taking sbs
well i dont like being single, working in a 20 degree warehouse, and being broke!!!! and your face!
but here we are!
sbs = sanguine bladeS?
*joking...mostly
i'm just hoping that I've been playing so far off of optimal gear etc for so long, once conquest uncaps and I can fix my crap..i'll magically be better
Fundamentally sin’s goal is to keep 3 dots (if you pick bone) on main target, make sure you use kidney off stun DR and create go from it, (better to cc healer before the go, shiv burst with kidney) —> keep dots on second targets to max dmg, doing key cc on healer and side dps
serrated bone spike
WELL you need to tell my opponents that and tell them to stop stunning me and running away
I personally don’t like to use death mark and kingsbane together unless it’s some situation where you know they can’t react
if my opponents were better they would stop messing me up when I try to do good stuff!
*sarcasm and such
i think i just got in the habit back when I thought dm duplicated ALL bleeds including kb. lol
TBF though that IS the general idea I'm going for. if anything goes wrong though, I fall apart.
another terrible thing I do is preemptively using cloak during a go if I think its going to be a kill.. thinking I can avoid getting cced and stopping the go. lol
did merek leave the server? i hit 1800 i have to bug him about it. lol
l
serrated bone spike
still here but silenced the chat tho
he fully left the server
panda bullied poor lad
savage
We tried helping him but he just wouldn’t listen lol
First season, didn’t know about DRs, still hit 1700 once. He did better than I thought he would lol
shoot i reached myth 2500 before pvp 2400
imagine s3 hero achievement unlocked by pve content first
i feel sad
seems like he is bouncing on your bet lol
whats the lore behind this
A stupid literal kid who wanted so badly to be a top rogue when he picked the game up this season. Never listened to advice or criticism no matter how much he even begged us to help him. And threw tantrum whenever queues were not going his way, and he was losing matches because he never learned from his mistakes and never followed through on bettering his play
His problem is not on this game itself tbh
Yep, he could have hit his goals if he’d just get out of his own way and grow up
still better than pvp james tho
Damn, sec tec into er is disgusting. Ppl might not be happy with sub nerfs after all
F other classes anyway
Forum whiners can get bent, other classes pve entire matches while we are specific. Literally quite a few different builds and the nonsense unnecessary attention we get can beat it .
echo build is powerful but its too hard to play at 3s cuz you must hit echo with veins 4 stacks
was needed, tbh i was tired of his BS
uh
bah, just a kid betting the impossible
Hard to disagree
He honestly seemed a little manic, hope he’s ok
We had one of these shizos in trueshot lounge
He had to be banned though kekw
Eventually bought duelist and tried to flex it in wpvp discord and got banned there too
imagine flexing a boost
maybe be a weird question but how do I shape my pvp learning curve more into a curve instead of a wall?
is it worth going assa first until I get more comfortable at the game?
I feel like sub is too overwhelming for me rn
ye sure, assa is good to start as rog
he dmed me this the first time i won a duel against him
Shoulda been there M8 was the best drama I've seen so far in discord
im sure we had funnier ppl here
i recall once a guy which got banned but before that just whined about genetics and how perfect was a person with long fingers to do pvp
CTR 9 gamer like pika maybe
and was asking for rating when he never passed 2k and when u told him an amount higher than that then said was irrelevant lol
ppl sometimes is BS crazy here too
Cloth specialization classes now gain an additional 35% armor in Arenas and Battlegrounds.
Plate specialization classes now have their armor reduced by 30% in Arenas and Battlegrounds.
What a usless change
xD
Still DK, DH, Ret is sooo broken
going ret after reset KEK
cloth still can uinstall this game
imagine fkn destro locks
Warlock literally immune to death sir
after that too
And direct buff to sp too
Still I think pvp James is better
I hope to level destro before reset lmao
nah pvp james would have a floating pixie telling him what to do if he has the chance
i can try the demo tho
Thanks god they’ve added new area for 0-10level last expac 😂
Double lock lobby or u have a pocket healer?
hello as sub i have an issuer with macro shadowstep kick focus
if i press it i shodowstep but not kick and with double press i use all my shadowsteps
how to fix it?
Adding cast sequence and pressing it twice
a few questions high cr rbgs what a good sin built and im assuming outlaw is pretty useless people keep invited me then kicking me cuz im outlaw kek
i would be the pocket healer w ret lol
didnt worked for him it seems
drama never ends in this place ngl
we have another guy here talking crap sometimes
i got an idea for sub gear settings.
2sets build but
crit/vers chest(tier or create) and mast/vers pants(conquest or create)
and engineer helmet for 1034mastery
and stats will be 25~26crit/ 115~117mastery/ 28vers
low vers will be covered by pvp trinket stamina buff 10%
you can keep ur crits and dps too
Hello everyone. Was wondering what is the friendliest pvp spec to learn for a new rogue
Assassin is probably the most beginner friendly. Easy to understand but you die fast.
Thats just my opinion though
I too would say Assa. But if you are new to PvP then Rogue will always be hard
not new to pvp just to rogue pvp.
Good day everyone. Re-enetering the rogue pvp after a few years. As sub, what is generally the consensus for just using 2 set and filling with conquest gear vs sticking with 4 set. All my tier pieces are currently 489.
You never truly understand how terrible the default mouse cursor is until you use this one
https://wago.io/K6KjvsHZ-
????
if u dont see default cursor u should go to doctor

sure keep gaslighting yourself
tf is "gaslighting"
first day on the internet?
look at that cursor its a pale grey taking up 0,0005% of your screen
w8
i give u my screenshot
Although I may perceive it slightly differently because I change targets using the macro buttons
not with the cursor
I lose my mouse icon all the time in raids lol
wtf
dunno i dont play pve
sexo
SEXOOOOO
trying to see my mouse in static field + bm pets + all the piss
Lmao. Isn’t he said “transmog” channel?
Is most of havocs damage physical?
its 90% chaos
Almost none
Interesting
I think only the glaive throw from tier set is physical dmg, and it’s mostly a bug
DH has a talent to convert all dmg to chaos
And it’s mandatory talent
only if target doesn't have Chaotic Imprint. And yea, its a bug
How do you play vs a healer dps comp as a rouge?
cc healer go dps
That is what I do. but I guess I dont have enough damage. THeyre always 1 blow away from getting killed. MIght lack some damage. but idk
I hear whaazz getting hyped about outlaw for next week, any specific reason or is outlaw really good atm (compared to assa for example)?
Pretty much a lot of top rouges think that outlaw is extremely good
I see thanks. which spec would you recommend for a returning player between assa/outlaw? their main stats seem different that's why I'm asking
I’m not playing neither of them. But most ppl here would say assa is more easy to start with
what Ilvl should I be at, 1300 rating?
thanks!
ilvl?
a good player in full greens can reach 1k6 tho
ok 🙂 Im not good I started yesterday and im 1400
Assa easy to play, harder to climb high in my opinion
The survivability isn’t even close vs outlaw
that is the worst trait of assa
but was even worse pre rework
feint helped a lot
but still need more imo
but what would be a realistic answer. To the general playerbase? if you know 🙂
average player has 1k6
im talking about gear not skill. Like what gear does the average person in 1k6 have?
conq mixed with greens
ok. cause I have 2 conq things, and my matchmaking value is 1550 rn. was just curious
u will be ok if u get 2 set of tier and a conq dagger tho
feint as in use elusiveness as assa?
yesa
double charge of feint is good ah
hmm i see, I see many still taking cheat death on murlok for assa
ye ppl picks whatever they wants
I wonder does feint affects blade dance. It’s an aoe spell after all
How do you play rouge vs rouge? is it just the first one that gets the cc chain off that wins?
If I’m in that mosh pit with an outlaw I’m pressing feint regardless lol
what happened to the between the eyes debuff on the target? i can't see if i applied or how long it will remain
It’s not a debuff now. It’s a buff
So it’s not tied to a target anymore
oh nice
I love how the armor changes effects the damage profile of less than 5 specs lol
often for sure , its a big part of our damage. Rupture has always been important for us.
what is this echoing reprimand build that ive been seeing for sub, on top of going back to rotten + goremaw
better than leaving it as is
It seems just using ER instead/on top of goremaw in same condition we used goremaw
So we have double ‘big’ skill when vein is up
I am not even sure if it really matters with another 10% evis nerf
well its dmg is independent of evis so it might be more popular
not a fan of returning to 100 energy tho
Yeah but sub impact is getting lower overall again
l
between goes you spend combo points on putting up ruptures
or SnD
I love how the armor changes managed to do the impossible: find another way to nerf Frost DK
It’s not a huge difference for FDK tho
Instead of dying in the first 30 seconds it’s probably the first 26 seconds - no big deal
whats the matter with fdk didn't they like used to be good in pvp
(havent played since wod)
i decided to queue up some shuffle on my caster alt and got a double unholy dk arena

this should be illegal
O O F
FDK is bad at almost everything, even if it somehow manages to pull off its "niche" of "ramping" and then doing a "burst combo" against two people who MUST be stacked together, because otherwise 30% of your damage is fading into nothingness
and that is BEFORE you realize wait this is the squishiest spec in the game
Lmao so true bestie
i spent 10 seconds getting gripped
in a row
i think this counts as assault
i need to fill out a form
Point to us on the orc doll where the mean dk touched you
everywhere 😰

Where is ur killer instinct
write down his name and gank him until the game becomes unbearable
so next week dps will have higher hp, healer will also have higher hp (just less growth), right?
Yeah pm
i am doing dtb in 2s, killing healers fairly alright at 2.1mmr, not sure if would change a lot next week
Fdk doesn’t need two ppl stand near him to do dam. wtf r u talking about 😂
snooze fest dampeners inc and casters immortal
yup
Mages are kinda would get extra 3% from phys
how much do enchantments help? havent really learned that much about enchantments.
@chrome schooner You mentioned it's great to apply CT when multiple pets around, was there a specific reasons for that?
wait does bleed on pets also benefit energy?
ok, logging in now..
It deals more damage for each target hit, up to 5
ah i see
is that just the hit itself gets bonus or also the dots dmg
i can't believe i am playing sin in myth without knowing this...
Hehe
Well it goes hand in hand with the current season 4p regarding m+
You never have to spam CT so you can get a lot of 4p procs by spamming Envenom instead
yeah i got it now
what should I use my conquest on, when people arent using really using conquest gear?
Crafted gear
so I should spend it on the crafting stuff? 489 things?
Yeah the trophy are able to get your crafted gear to max pvp ilvl
Conquest gets uncapped tomorrow so you should be able to get trophies easily just a matter of getting sparks now to get splinter
yeah the sparks are the only issues I have right now
is there a certain ammount you can get per reset?
What does it mean when conquest gets uncapped?
you can farm infinite conquest after the cap is gone
^^^
which means its ALT TIME BABY
but has that been an inssue in general? Cause im only halfway to my cap or something
conq boxes tomorrow for 375 conq that you can send to alts
if you started pvping during the first week of the season most people are at the cap
Yeah I started doing pvp 2 days ago and started doing rated yesterday. So im not capped yet
Can have it recrafted to add the pvp ilvl
is that the bis set for rogue?
Isn’t that pikaboo?
got a fyralath tooltip w pvp scaling
is still scaled to 496 ilvl and charge hits by 153k
ok 🙂
well its pikaboo setup and it looks like prettymuch the same on all good rouges except the OH
k
then im going to get some items from that build
yeah
alot of crafted gear.
how do i craft it
you do pve content, like m+ and raids, and you get some splintered shards, which you can use 2 off to get a spark, which you can use to craft stuff with
really?
good
then I guess im capped
if ur not doing the weekly rep quest in emerald dream then u will always be 0.5 sparks behind the cap
because the only way to get that half a spark is to do that quest
then the next week if u didnt do it it gets added to the catch up
I dont actually think I have gotten the free spark at the quest in emerald dream yet. only on my dh I think
its not free its part of the cap, if ur up to date on catch up and do it you'll only get this weeks half a spark
if ur behind you'll get it tho ye
nope
Isn’t it’s stats remain the same? The ability can be 50% effectiveness and won’t show on a tooltip
it remains the same, only abilities are nerfed
so, the ilvl is filthy huge
for an average wep
If only it was a drop
When I found out you need to craft this shit and craft cost. I instantly stopped even thinking about trying to get it 😂
i was 100% thinking about it
and i was aware about crafting
only real issue is dropping the 1st item imo
i might craft a 489 dagger next week
oh shoot
ok
will do it
btw, the sin 4 tier set on pvp dummy works really well, such a fake news
shadenox tested it in arena and i did it myself in outdoor too
he ended in the conclusion it only worth up to 2set
mastery is more valuable imo too
I still say the hidden tech is going with the slightly tweaked raid build (DTB and no Sudden Demise, maybe ER) and 4-set
But going down and getting Sudden Demise, it’s definitely not worth using 4-set
the problem is DTB is so nerfed than doesnt worth the shot
proc rate is absurdly low
It’s not nerfed in pvp though. And while the number doesnt look great in the tooltip, in practice in PvE the proc rate is fine and not a problem
Mostly because envenom buffs your poison proc chance, so it’s a nice little feedback loop
@spring bough what do you think about dropping Enduring Brawler. It’s a hold over talent from before the rework and I can’t tell a difference between having it and not, because the HO spec throws so many at you all the time. I rarely even see more than 1 stack of the EB buff when I’ve been theory crafting this
tested it in week 8
week 0 i say
and didnt worth it compared to s2
proc rate was indeed crappy
and in pvp u dont envenom that much tbh
And dropping EB would free us up for some nice choices like control is king allowing for another BTE in the opener
it goes most in rupture refreshes and kidneys
Yeah sorry, didn’t mean to start up the whole conversation again. I fully take your and Shadenox’s word on it. I just wish it wasn’t the case because I like to envenom things and I hate Sudden Demise 🙂
And I main Outlaw anyway as well
oh, understood, dont worry
u are still a rogue btw
i was hoping the buff was enough for 4set in damage, but sadly the problem in stuff like arena and SS is than persons mostly stacks
so 4set dmg isnt very noticeable in that kind of instances
(it works better in single target)
didnt really think about it lol. could maybe drop it for dagger in the dark or turn the tables
ive been rocking take your cut, enduring brawler, and veil
or could go bomb/dismantle depending on the match
i just did a que and didnt notice a change without having enduring brawler lol
Lol I thought so! Score one for us
anybody else getting randomly unstealthed in bgs? (seems to only happen while specced into sub)
Could not tell you, because I’m not trying to ambush someone that far away lol. I would not imagine that’s still around though
i dont think so. but BTE crackshots work up to 30yards so dispatch still hits even if ur out of melee lol
back to back solo ques with 2 diff sub rogues and both went 0-6 lol
it got way too friendly in here
I’m gonna queue tomorrow as double sub and try to 99% dampen every match
its gross
OOF
did someone say they need more toxic?
That’s exactly what someone said
on the quest for 2400 again. just two perfect lobbies away. i should stream these next two lobbies im about to do then you can get your dose of toxic LMAO
Do it I’ll watch
nah lmao i dont need that pressure or to look ridiculous LMAO
Considering the nerfs coming Tuesday, and if we go into a dampening/manabar meta, instead of burst. Which spec do you see most people switching to playing? Outlaw or Sin?
WHY THE FK IS THE PVP ROGUE CHANNEL LABELED UNDER MISC????
WHO'S WITH ME????
Meeeee
RAHHHHHHH MOVE IT OUT OF MISC YOU DUNDERHEADS
seeeeeeexo
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sup Spanish boy
assa is the true antimage
tsup polish soldier
YELLING ABOUT IT HERE DOES NOTHING WE HAVE TO INVADE THE PVE CHANNELS AND DEMAND EQUALITY
how is at 2300 rating
we are getting 1k rated healers
what kind of BS is this lmao
0-6 you guessed it
Laaame
any word on uncapping conq?
tomorrow
More balancing for tomorrow
NIIIIIIIICE
Lmao, that it? Good they realise the fuckup bad that after 20 years they tune classes after reading ppl in comments
I can only imagin the butthurt in dk discord rn 😄
Despite armor nerf wont affect them much
nothing, just no fdk tuning
it doesnt effect any plate much
Was affecting wars. Cuz they have talent for mainstat
haha lock foreskin is dead
Abort lock mission.
I was on my lock. After 4 lvls I just alt f4
Im not sure he would ever go beyond 60 tbh
a lot lmao
1649 games i hit 2300 about 6 times and fell before this final push today lol
I've still only had the stomach to play 9 solo shuffles, the queue is fucking brutal
how many after you realise wpvp gear wont work on arenas? lol
1649, holy shit that's an investment
what you mean wpvp gear dont work in arena?
oh it seems u missed
i dont use the wpvp gear set bonus lol
nobody does.
The meme wasn't about that. nvm, my bad.
1.6k games\6 right?
Well. If q times wasnt that big.
honestly ive gotten 15 second que pops a decent amount or a few minutes
but yeah some take like 45-1hr lol
Never had 1h. Mostly 30m max
@spring bough all of my queues have been 30 minutes. Pretty awful
Actually kind of insane that I waited 5 hours to play 10 games of Solo Shuffle lol
I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of time you spent in queue to play 1600 games
If my math was right, 1600 games x 30 min average wait per game = 48,000 minutes
48,000 minutes / 60 = 800 hours in queue
half the time i miss them i just listen for the que pop lol
Big oof
good thing this the only game i play lmao
I agree completely, the issue I have is you spent 800 hours not actually doing the thing you wanted to do
Blizzard needs to fix the queue times
more time for house chores / work from home i guess lol
I usually just work on my 2nd laptop. So it’s not a big deal. But yea if u have like 1-2h to play. Waste half of it to just sit and wait kinda bad
This is the reason I dropped pve. Cuz I don’t want to sit and wait in lfg
I sat in queue yesterday for an hour and got two Solo Shuffle matches
Didn't feel great
Solo shuffle itself is really fun but the wait is awful
i had an instant pop before i hit elite before. probably helped cause i was hot from the lobby before
if it was a 30 min que i prob woulnt have got it
Hopefully the uncapped conquest gets more people to queue up
But ultimately, due to the way they designed the mode, healers are the bottleneck.
Doubtful Kevin
So unless they're injecting more healers into the queue, ain't happening
Maybe mmr bump would
Probably the best solution is what I've suggested about 3 times now, which is allow DPS-only fights, and just have them give like, 1/5 the MMR gain/loss
So people have something to do while they wait for real matches (with healers)
Queues would absolutely be instantaneous
Practically no waiting, would give people games to play while they waited for real healer games
Lmao
I’m not even sure if glad mount would force ppl to q more
id probably have twice my rounds if i could get glad mount from solo shuffle
And mmr bump won’t happen at least for a month
Gold is a good idea, but it would cause the economy to implode
or maybe they revert healer changes that made all the healers leave lmao
It would collapse the economy. Plus imagine pve Andy’s playing healer in ss
Jeez
What they really need to do is what I've also said like 3 times, which is
- bake PvP training into the game
- give better explanations of how PvP works and how to play it INSIDE the game
- make PvP more accessible by tracking diminishing returns into the base UI so you don't need to research and install add-ons just to compete
They need to make PvP accessible to people picking up the game
That's how you inject players into arena
And of course, if they're gonna keep healers as the bottleneck, they need to reward healers for doing it
Send an email to them.
Maybe like incredible looking PvP participation sets, ONLY for healers
nah
give them 250g
and done
Isn't there a dev here, or someone who reports to devs?
lol
Just give ppl rewards. That’s it
This guy 😂
bruh
LOL imagine if healers got 250g for each queue
You can get elite set by playing with one leg. And there is literally nothing after. Especially when rating is soft capped
As hard as this may be to hear
They don't need to incentivize healers increasing their rating
They need to incentivize healers just to queue
Even if they're bad
They need to reward healers just for queueing
Since nobody wants to heal
What if we call the new currency “Participation Trophies”
So the solutions are:
-
handsomely reward healers just for queueing, even if they're bad healers, or
-
remove healers as the queue bottleneck
250g per q not bad
And they can roll random past elite mog pc with it
250g per queue would inject a lot of healers into the system, but it would also destroy the in-game economy
My man up there queued 1600 times, that's 400,000g
no fucking way if wq already awards 1k+ gold
1600/6 is the shuffle games
Nah bro. It would be hell in 0-1800. Imagine how many pvp James healers are gonna q to farm token for free sub
and u can multiply it to 5k w emerald quirks
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Let's see. I could work at my job for 20 minutes and pay for my monthly sub, or I could roll a healer and queue for 800 games to pay for my sub
Quick math, which one should I do?
id be a millionare in wow if they gave gold like that
give them during wins then
3 as min
3 is basically a tie
id be half a millionaite then
they count 3/6 as a win
cause u get crests at 3 wins
Wait a SS 3-3 is a win?
Nah, they just should add fxkin rewards. Like for 1.9, 2 etc
you get conquest from it so i think they consider it a win
Oh, I thought I was 9-0-1 in SS, turns out I am 10-0
only get conquest for 3 or more wins in a solo
so if u got 1 or 2 win lobby u getting poop
Yea, my bad. If u won 3 and then lost 3 u still should get something
I'd play a lot more games, since it's fun. But the queue is butt. Lol
what about giving a seasonal pet? andys loves battle pets
Yes but, important distinction: it needs to be for HEALERS ONLY
JO
Otherwise, you'll attract more DPS, which is the opposite of what you want in order to decrease queue time
Do we understand how math works here lol
REEEEEEEEE
Lol
ive done 0 pet battles ever lmao
Nah, if you want Andy’s to play pvp u simply just add gear that is usable in pve. All idiots would run into pvp and cry how bad is the system
I WANNA FLEX AN USELESS PET
if they did solo without a healer id probably be in tears lmao
I mean I am totally fine with that idea. But again, healer gear only
Otherwise it doesn't fix the queue problem at all
no
every lobby would be whose the weak dps and just train lmao
fucking healers
Any outlaw solo shufflers here? Been trying to learn recently (I'm bad, been mostly a pve player since vanilla and only played healer in SS). It's hard to find good videos for outlaw. Any recommendations? My biggest issue I find is my dps is low because I'm so focussed on trying to cc the enemy team. Anyone have advice on pumping vs. Cc ? I guess you set up a go, trigger DRs and wait for em to reset for the next go... but like i said, I'm bad haha.
We already have that. Prot pala games
the most i do is step to healr stun and go back on DPS into a crack shot window or blind healer into a crack window
yeah and those prot pally ques make me cringe
LOL
So you don't do the hectic sub style cc set ups? Sap, 3x cheaps, into kidney into gouge blah blah?
i dont even blind into sap on healers. i have gouge on focus or mouse over and i usually only gouge the healers
@coral kettle for that to work, you need competent teammates to take advantage of the openings you create. At low MMR, you need to carry your team by pumping damage
Basically
as outlaw u gotta use vanish for crackshot only
See this is the advice I've been scouring the internet for
everytime u have subterfuge or shadow dance up u gotta be pumping and dumping BTE
I'm here for you brother
But most shuffle guides are sub focussed, or some assa, and outlaw just isn't that type of class.
dont ever put BTE on cooldown if vanish is less than 45 seconds off CD
and prob 30 seconds for dance
been rocking cheat death as outlaw too cause there too much one shot BS
and dont even hit feint anymore
Cheat death is fine, especially at low MMR. Half the 2000+ rated rogues use it
So I have to break that 'cc bot' mentality and basically pop a gouge/blind on healer and just pump? Maybe a Cs on kill target before BTE spam?
Why? There is a ton of aoe shit. Like blade storm or ds
i also just gave up enduring brawler before i just hit elite so i dont even think u need that anymore as outlaw. couldnt tell a dps difference with or without it lol
Always Feint during Bladestorm
With outlaw apm. Sounds reasonable
Welinth do you ever have folks asking for more cc? Also what's your rating if you don't mind my asking?
I'm excited to not half to twist my brain around cc juggling so heavily
i have sub rogues yelling at me never to stun when im in their lobbies that is about it and i just hit 2400 earlier lmao
Oh HELL YA
It's also worth nothing, you can't just randomly throw out stuns
Opinions on greenwicks and killing spree?
Also elusiveness vs cheat death?
If your opener is Cheap Shot on all 3 opponents, you just put the stun DR on all of them without actually creating a kill opening
I do know about not randomly tossing stuns. I've done heeaapppsss of research on sub rogues and have been trying to basically play that way as outlaw and it's why I'm so lost haha
In disorganized games with random players, not a good idea
How about sap/blind on healer and cheap on 2 dps?
Sap is always the right thing, especially if you have, uh, that talent that reduces their DMG/healing, which you should absolutely have
I do yep. Blackjack
Aye
I find myself opening sap into double cheap. Try to kidney healer off sap. But this also means I do next to no dmg as I find myself trying to replicate that whenever DR drops
Which is kinda why I came here for advice. It's not working hahaha
What's your MMR, just starting out?
never use killing spree. most i change is swift slasher/CTO into heavy hitter/greenskin
Yeah dude I've played rogue for 2 weeks. M+ was easy as I have 2500 rated brew and mist. So it was just rotation learning. But now me and my homies wanna try on PVP of which I'm a mega rookie
This is what I'm rocking now
PvP is much, much, much harder than M+. My fiance and I hit 2400 M+ last season, and this season we tried 2v2 and couldn't get above 1650 before our relationship started to collapse with all the anger and frustration of arena lmao
I have brawler instead of bomb but was thinking of taking out take your cut for bomb...
Hahaha I'd never arena with my misses. We do enough league of legends together to know better.
Pvp is Def harder but that's why I want to learn it. I played wow since vanilla, about time to switch it up
Greenskin vs. CTO. Worth?
bored
you get a lot more pistol and ambush damage with greenskin and heavy but a lot more buffs with CTo
just preference really
you can get energy starved at times without swift/cto
but the 4 set helps minimize that a bit
and id probably say with cto/swift a lot more BTE damage vs heavy/greenskin. kinda like the damage is just reallocated not really losing much just dmg in diff spots
i think the highest pistol crit with greenskin i ever had was like 115k. so with a FTH proc thats like 150k + prob lol
Yeah sick! Appreciated. I'll have some rounds when I get off work and trying to just pump the kill target with minor cc.
The main CC to use in SS is
- to save a teammate if your healer is CC'ed, and
- to CC the opposing healer when an opponent is low so you can finish them off
Also, saving your defensives as long as possible (read: not wasting them when you're in no true danger of dying) is super important
It is very hard to explain in more detail than that, but that's the essence of succeeding in SS
Then ofc, 3) creating pressure via consistent damage output so kill windows happen
Subtlety doesn't really do 3 as much, since it does its damage in huge bursts and very little outside of those windows, so Sub plays differently than Assassination and Pirate Combat specs
I find sub much harder to play than the other two
the one thing i dont save with outlaw is evasion. usually pop that off that bat since its on CDR
think the fastest it has come off cooldown is like 30-45 seconds or so
yeah thats on CDR too
ive had people complain about the evasion lol
how the hell do you press it so often lmao
Feint with elusiveness??
I think I rotate my defensive pretty well. It's mainly that sub play style infiltrating what I think I ought to do. I can't believe I couldn't find any good outlaw guides online. Thanks so much guys ! I appreciate it heaps.
Yes, Elusiveness is even better with Outlaw than it is with Assassination due to the CDR
Of Feint
Oh man. I just thought of another way to inject healers into solo shuffle
Ready for this?
AI controlled healers lmao
GG queues. All SS queues would be instantaneous, all the time
Yeah I was curious about that. The CDR reduction means uptime could be huge. Also cheat death only works when you're gonna die, elusiveness could be relevant all match long pending the focus
Yes, that's what makes good Outlaws so long lasting
If you're not feinting as Outlaw you're definitely not being optimal
I want the AI of healers to represent the mmr though. At my level I expect them to life cocoon themselves and reset DRs on all cc
I want to get ANGRY still
Would it honestly matter? If the healer played like a 2500 player, the better team is still gonna win eventually
Would just take longer
That's it boys, I solved the queue problem
AI healers in solo shuffle
If I don't have anyone else to blame for the L it means I have to be at fault, and I don't like that
Restro druid is such a bs class to deal with as a melee
In general
It’s the treants that have like 250k health and eat CC. Cyclone is fine
I cant use current dream shards to make a current dream spark
Works fine with season 2 spark. Anyone else encounter this?
did I fall victim to the spaghetti code monster?
ah nevermind I need flightstones .. :^)
just so great to have a pointless currency that is infinite but also annoying if you dont have it for no good reason at all
Havoc DH asks what to do in shuffle
I tell him to "cleave and not to die like a bitch"
he then proceeds to like a bitch 4 times in a row 
Dude said "don't tell me what to do" lol
got one like that once and guy fkn lost almost all matches
was a ret who flexed me 2k3
xd
how a 2k3 ret trinkets a quaking palm dude
Well tbh havoc doing pve in solo most of times
I wish they would manage even that
I've just lost 9 in a row ... but I've also just started playing rogue lol
how do I figure out what classes to focus on?
also could somebody share some ol pvp guides that are good?
that's like how the universe runs question lol
haha but how do I identify killtargets ... I'm new to the game and cant go by "whatever poses the biggest threat" because pretty much everything stomps me
not gonna lie, seems clear since patch note haha
yeah i mean isn't we are fucked very clearly since they realeased the patch note
10% more hp
and 10% less evis
sub is dead
i don't think you can match with 10% evis dmg
nor 10% hp bonus
those things are what you could adjust even before patch
everybody with more than 1 mil hp now
probably but overall 10% more hp is a fairly big impact on rogue
we live in stun burst time
Is it time to learn outlaw brethren?
Huge stonks rn
SEXOOOOOOOO
RAHHHHHHHHH
RAAAAAAAH
yo assrogues, how do you use shadow dance this patch?
I ve played so much Sub rogue my brain is now wired wrong for this spec :^D
You basically use it whenever you want to put up empowered garrotes on targets or chain CC and make sure to use KB during your shadow dance for big burst
idk I feel like I m doing less damage than last season
meanwhile on DH I press "3" on cooldown for 120k dps
Everyone gets 10% more HP and Eviscerate gets nerfed by 10%. Is anyone surprised these changes gutted Subtlety?
They needed to address Shadowy Duel
I definitely didn't call this 2 days ago though, no sir
hm I was kinda talking about assassinaysh :d havent tried post nerf sub yet
I was responding to Tarny
Do you get pvp gear from the pvp vault slot?
yea 489ilvl
then hwhy do you want to improve the item ilvl? like earn honor from higher rated matches, when its all 489? is it so you can use it for both pvp and pve?
yea its always 489 in arena bg etc and the lower ilvl is pve
ok. is it conquest gear? or is it actual pve gear that is just 489 in arena? Cause soo much of the bis pvp rn is just pve crafted gear, with 489 stone
hmm ok, bought all my conquest gear for now :C
with kingsbane
I m playing at 1900 and 3 times in a row my teammate dies in the opener two times where I did a god opener myself
fuck these people
i will try to go fyrakk hc tomorrow
to get a lego
i even have the shadowflame ready for it
I thought you got your legendary yesterday??
nah, i was preparing myself
and the tooltip was from an andy
i picked it by linking the item to myself to /w to check in pvp
May luck be on your side 🍀
yo outlaw is kinda fire
the new style is fire with upperhanded upper hand and crackshot + restless blades
is there a secret build for PURE single target? I am constantly out of energy when theres only exactly one targetr
maybe ur not finishing enough cuz restless blades + stealth with that new upperhand talent gives u a lot of AR uptime no?
having AR active doesnt stop it from going on cooldown
yeah but assassination is the only spec that gets energy from a second or third target
wait ur talking sin or outlaw
outlaw thriving rn
i know ima have to be a convert dude
sub nerfed
hard
sin feels mid af
outlaw might be the move
wanna be mage slayers? go assa
Are rets committing mass murder in shuffle today
idk why they buffed them tbh
lmao, palumor is trolling with one shot macro for sub 😄
you can still oneshot with sub? lmao
Still? Monk disappeared from sec tec + er lol
I'm leveling one right now. Got to 48 in a day lol
sub just seems to get shafted bc of all the crybabies cant even play my spec in shuffle
the nerfs to sub is pretty bad
7 combo evis on a geard lock 50k crit
its horrible
and that right there is why I cant play sub anymore
they take away our dmg then we just become gnats with a stun
if they take away our cc (which is what everyone cries about) then they have to boost our dmg to compensate then why would you take a rogue over a DH or warrior when they have both?
might as well delete sub rogue
Assa gives me schizophrenia
on one hand it feels great to play and you can own your opponents
on the other hand you have to press a 2min main defensive against every wet fart
You stay away!
and then you die in 3 globals after that
also starting at 300 energy and then being stuck at 30 is very awkward too
too late im already gearing my Night Elf Outlaw Rogue
noooooooooo
gross! Yuck!
yessss YESSSSS
never
rahhhhh

XD
got 2 questions. conquest reset per season to 0? And Does any addons for pvp you would recommend? I kinda like how simple pikaboo's is. Rn im just playing it raw
info about asssa for the war within
when is the war within coming out?
Purely ST Sin requires pooling and is a quite low apm spec. Check the pve channel for more on it
ye drops to 0, idk about what to reccomend besides gladiatorlosa2, weakauras, gladius or sarena
dont recall
?
before december this year
good
weak link paladins going 0-6 in solo today lol
after the lobby i was just in. yes. yes they are. to themselves LOL
wtf

huh
i dont even need to watch that to know Venruki just talking to talk at this point lmao
Drachyrs holding 160k DPS for 6 mil damage seems fair
And that is against double cc and kicks
why did they make it possible to have 300 energy if assa is gonna starve for it constantly jeez
Blizz should honestly just take PvP bracket data, feed that to GPT4 and replace the actual PvP Devs with that.
Or they should just let us filter 2-3 classes we don't want to play against
I don’t ever feel energy starved as assa
me neither
Maybe I’m just use to it lol
and that is the reason i dont use haste
sometimes i get real sad in game when i try to do /spit in a BG and it doesnt work anymore 😦
I don't always engage in teabagging in BGs, but when I do, I /dance
i guess i gotta start teabag dancing on people now lol
People new to assa are spamming buttons and not multi-dotting people and only keeping bleeds up on one person. Super easy to be out of energy then
ofc
like merek
Hahahaha
Didn't he ragequit WoW?
He reminded me of when I rolled into Classic WoW telling everyone I met while leveling that I was gonna be a Grand Marshal
made it to 60, did one AB, and realized I hated it (I was a Frost Mage and everyone stacked Free Action Potions) lol
Is killing spree not better than count the odds?
Its damage is pretty shit when hitting 2+ targets, and there are usually far better buttons to push
and gsw?
Largely a wet noodle, pistol shot doesn’t do good damage on its own. 100k-ish crits when you’re lucky
bro this 100 yard MM range is a real mood killer lmao
like sprint away hell yeah i made it boom sniper shot from 100 yards GG
Gotta sprint behind a pillar!
Arena is full of bs mood killers. I honestly believe arena would be way more fun if every spec lost 2-3 buttons
in an open BG cant do that lol
no more solo for me this week lmao. just some fun pvp no ratings lol
went back and killed the hunter lmao
If War Within Hero Talents give as much power as DF Talent Trees gave, then WW PvP will be MoB levels of chaos
Just a lot more bursty
What if you wanted a relaxed game of 2s and blizz said:
bro good luck double sniper shot is a GG
Gotta smoke bomb that shit
Was playing my heal. They messed up their opener and gave me my 1.8
Gratz!
Ty
How did I just have a 7 minute 2s game and damp was only at 40%?!
heal dps vs heal dps
You have to macro:
Flag of ownership
Flag of victory
Warlord flag
Breakers flag
Jolly Roger (pirate flag makes a cool sound when you use it)
Epic purple shirt (does a /flex)
/sit
The ultimate rogue gank macro
Games going to be so snooze fest dampener
ill do that with a shiv
to bait ppl
XD
def assa will raise tier w this
they are the ultimate snooze spec
hows sub feeling after nerfs?
It feels ok, nothing crazy. Things definitely evened out a bit.
nah fuck that, gotta sub doom until they buff 😄
ill still use feint to be tankier tho
but if i can take a breath
then everything will be EZ af
So far with Changes sub feels ok Assa is decent in everything but shuffle and havnet played outlaw
BUT SHUFFLE
Yeah assa feels awful in shuffle
maybe its a today thing but
2s and 3s were great today as assa though
maybe were matches
at least w assa now i was feeling smoother in this season overall
the one i felt is worsening this season
by far
is warrior
in endurance
I dunno I went from 2100 to 1900 in shuffle and climbed rating in the other 2. 3s and 2s felt jsut way better
2141 in 2s and in 3s second q session had a 65% win rate went really well. Stil catching up to my mmr but at 1944 cr with mmr being 2165
Rets Demo locks and DH are overperforming in shuffle it seems right now
fucking demos
I actually wonder if healers know what to do with an assa on their team I had an rsham say he was having a horrible time keeping me up. I found that weird cause I do 3s and 2s with one of my best friends who heals and has no problem keeping me up whether he plays his MW, priest or rsham
In regards to shuffle
I checked game capture and I didnt line
and I avoided goes
Why I said what I said above
It's definitely a healer problem from their end. Much like some team mates have no idea how to operate with a rogue on their team at all which really puts us in a bind.
No sense in dooming like other classes do heh. It's "ok", if people's subjective opinion of fun is "hur hur push buttons win hur hur" then they will be upset. I do wish we didn't move into "all dance" over the years but here we are due to the pve kids and a ferris wheel of "balancing".
It feels ok, nothing crazy definitely some giant warlock shields and paladin shields today though make things rough. Will have to see how things pan out down the road I guess.
oh don't worry, I was being fully sarcastic. I rather surprised we haven't had more sub doomers in here all day to be honest
maybe tomorrow when EU gets updated
and to take a page from Popo's book, I wouldn't mind in the least if Sub was nerfed into the ground because I don't play it
I don’t subscribe to that mindset of any class / specialization “should be bad because i don’t like it”. Everything should be solid and a lotta people have maturing to do instead of sabotage and defamation.
I sensed my name was spoken
outlaw should be above everyone else because its the coolest spec and I dont like the others
get fucked
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
dunno im getting TW items here
im currently w rog
all but highlighted items are optimal
need to run sub to get the progress
i have a lot of love for that fkn cape
have it since mop
got all
Are sparks still capped?
yeah i think so
Fml
I’ve kept wasting sparks on 476 gear. Just to get the mastery. Can I redraft gear and only upgrade the pvp I lvl?
Thought i saw we'd be getting increased honor and conquest% earned this week? i dont see the buff or anything though
HAVENT heard anything about increased.. just the fact conquest is uncapped
They said in the blue post
Have I missed what spoils of War is? Is it not a buff you get for the week?
where are all the sub tears
I just did my first m+ key as outlaw and I was amazing
yuck!
I won an Epic BG earlier, today, and received 143 Conqeust, instead of the usual 110. The increase is live.
can I get an outlaw god to answer some questions for me
definitely not a god, but I can answer you
I love you
can you explain the use of fan the hammer and hidden opportunity+audacity with the crackshot thing? ik how crackshot works and you use vanish over shadow dance bc restless blades and i understand underhanded upper hand and ruthlessness
I Can try to answer before going to sleep
You can want to spend your FtH procs if you’re at 6 stacks already, otherwise use ambush/SS to build
Build to 5 cp during your crack shot windows
Send BtE
what exactly does fth do
And you can BtE as long as your CD on vanish is > 45 sec and the cd on Dance is > 12 sec
It rapid fires pistol shot
Giving you back energy and CP
Generally, sending FtH is always better than ambushing outside of certain cases like you have Broadsides buff, or your near full energy
So long as you aren’t overcapping FtH stacks the rest will come with feel and experience
even during stealth? and how does it refund energy i didnt see that anywhere unless im blind/dumb
and does the amount of stacks tell you how many CP you get back?
Yeah the pistol shots have a high chance to refund energy. And yes even during your stealth/dance windows you should be using FtH
Each shot is one CP unless you have broadside
Did you play outlaw at all in SL?
lmao no I was deployed
Ok nevermind then lol
this is all new to me
what buffs do i look to keep and when do i reroll? ik what they do but i dont know anything past that or how they affect anything. i know im aiming for 4 set asap bc its huge tho
oh nice thanks
I just went from
"Ok lets have fun" to "I mcfuckin' had it with you" on the 2nd place Outlaw rogue in the SS leaderboard in a random skirm
Wafting Devotion slaps so fucking hard dude
wtf
screw +7% crit rate
from Burning Writ
Wafting Devotion best friend now
Y'all try the world quest where you need to hit 15 flying protodakes out the air?
The one between the three zones which guarantees said protodrakes keep phasing in and out of existence :^)
not ONE playtester said "wait guys, maybe this one sucks"
can anyone explain me how critical chance works and its mechanism
Check your critical chance and add it to any talent modifiers you may have picked up. That’s your crit chance. 150% damage for that particular attack when you crit
Each damage over time effect has its own chance to crit as well
hey guys
i would like to ask you to help me, because im clueless now 😄
should i stay with sub or should i switch to outlaw?
Outlaw gang
i watched some guides but i still cant understand the rotation 😄
How bad was sub rouge hit? How playable is the spec?
guys sub rogue with mast/vers dagger for offhand is worth it?
if so, how much diff is here?
between same ilvl sword,dagger
I have played some solo shuffels, and I definitely feel alot weaker. Might just be me thinking sub is weak due to nerfs. Kind of placebo
minimum...i am casting it today but numbers are numbers, you know the impact is small
I feel the same
it's totally expected imo
My burst went from hero to zero
you need 10% more burst to kill
and you got 10% less finisher dmg other than blade/cb st go
and all we do is burst
I want to switch to outlaw but I cant find a proper guide
so same as before? got it
The outlaw pve channels have some good info on rotation if that's what you're looking for. Gist of it is maintain your buffs (RtB, SnD) and spam BTE during stealth windows. I'd highly recommend a WA to show how long your stealth window lasts so you can be sure to not BTE after it ends. Very punishing if you do so.
Rotationally outlaw is not very beginner friendly though. Lots of spinning plates and failure points. In pvp you will need to know how to abuse stealth windows or you won't have any pressure.
im going to change this pants to create one. but it can only 1% more dps so i wanna find which gear change is the best for sub
1.pants(same ilvl)
2.mast/vers 486ilvl dagger(same ilvl)
3.cloak from 486ilvl one
that is tryharding
you can try all changes, but in the end it doesn't change much..
like you are just generally switching some crit/vers to mastery
ik but i need more dps even if not so much cuz i can 1 shot them if 2%more dmg 😦
i already changed them
my stats are now 25/116/31 and 2sets
2% dmg wouldnt do a heavy difference
i could 21/121/30 but this is sucks there was no crit
and you are not doing 2% more dmg
just watch the undergeared guys which can push forward
you are just trading some crit chace to more stable dmg
with crappy gear
ur right but this is my personality i wanna 100% geared
i do the same, but with ilvl
this is what we are trying to say, you have alreayd been 100% geared
you are twisting some small change, doesn't even actually raise your dps
