Not really just like how we don’t do any damage out of dance thanks to pvers hijacking the class since legion.
Except pets / demons / minions who run at us with mount speed heh
I really hate that I can’t gouge the important minions so I don’t get clobbered
That gouge is valuable to me it’s not like I’m not giving up anything
Hur hur while they just summon another one. I just feint and do what I can man. Lame we can’t build cb pts off storm smacking minions but prob due to balance reasons so we can’t funnel hate into their eyelid.
hey
can some1 kick this hunter
yoyo dood
Hi
This is the hunter that teaches all the other SV hunters how to properly kill us

that is the hunter who represents all surv hunters we match
Man I love it when the game just straight up eats your input and you die as a result
love having to press each key 3 times
I swear this didn't happen in SL or BfA
A holy priest said in my lobby, I keep your HP low to use my skills, don't panic
is this a real thing even?
uh i mean pw:L like resets its cd if its used on low hp targets but uhh
they need to be so low they r in execute range for most classes so

sounds terrible
yeah
that's basically what i told him...
and that was a really bad lobby tbh
literally people swap for absolutly no reason
and range classes don't follow me (although i am doing ret not rogue)
got turtle out, fine, swap for 5 second is good
then never swap back
If you play holy you need to tell people that or they start using CDs with ray of Hope on them
i was like playing with 3 noob dps and the holy priest that wants to keep you in execution range
Quick question, how easily can a rogue beat a dh in a duel?
didnt you ask the same in dh discord..
overall sub can
second blade, dh dies for certain
the only chance DH can win is to glimpse a kidney
With double vanish you shouldn't lose duels against any class. At most you tie them
asking a random question in a discord and expect a random person to give you perfect answer is weird
seems looking for a bible as evidence for some arguments..
run into a 4 melee lobby, glad i turn it into kill the healer game
won 3 of them
if the dumb ass war chose to collabrate would have been 5
touched no healer at all
Did some RPS 3s today as Assa and I actually liked it as much as Rogue lock healer
Was fun time did it with friends too
someone has a assa build for pvp?
la mia
busca mi char
meimei-sanguino
bro i just had a dh rage whisper me
"amazing, evasion in opener then evasion back up 40s later gg broken spec"
brother literally pressed blur everytime i tab targeted to him
dh complaining about dodge 
dh players
Glimpse backflip and blur dodging kidney from behind say bonjour
Hey guys
I'm back in wow and the game seems really foreign to me after 5 years. Could you help me? What is the recommended skill level for Rogues in PvP?
5 years? damn, thats a lot
with skill level u mean how good u have to be to do something with the rogue?
say "imagine having blur"
Just 5 years don’t worry I came back after 10 years break
I did 
i literally whispered him back "u press blur the moment I target u then its back up 2 kidneys later gg broken spec"
good job
u deleted me as full geared shut up lol
yeah but healdruid though
when i play 2s, i think sin and dh can solo most heals
probably sin even better
the 3+4+2.5 cc on healer is quite good and basically healer has to eat full kingsbane
dh might actually get pillared...
Toss on wound poison (or hemo) to boot
I don’t get, why rogues complains about blur? 
My only complaint about blur is being able to dodge from behind. Because I don't think any other form of 'dodge' allows that
But otherwise idgaf.
well, thats why we have cheap shot
Nah I mean we do have cheap shot sure. But don't call it dodge if doesn't function like dodge.
It's 50% to avoid all melee dmg for x seconds blah blah
The function isn't more important to me than it not working within the rules hahaha
do you know blur works under stun too
its not 50 in pvp 🙂
me back
me dodge
Anyone ever try some shit with lethality/heavy hitter/greennwicks? I dunno what I would drop for lethality, but curious if stars align how it would pump.
tell dhs 20% dr shoud save them 😄
I would agree with glimpse dodging/removing shit. But it requires some brain to pull off
Always worth testing out man, never know till you do.
Back with some info
- I worked hard and got my mastery from 30% up to 47%
- I realized my CPU was not detecting my GPU and that's why the game looked so awful. lmao
is there a reason top sub rogues are using 2x daggers now?
More energy instead of stat stick for 200 mastery
It’s preference, do as you want as it is your character man.
shadowy tech got buffed
by a lot
its very strong now
kinda an int to ur damage to run a slow oh but people are slow to adjust
also subs rarely about sustain damage anyway in pvp so the damage loss probably doesnt super matter
alot of pvp damage is feelcrafty anyway. I think its kinda troll that a majority of top outlaws stop stacking vers after like 30%
Problem of playing PvE here -> entered solo with dh alt in 472 newbie pve gear
but rogues often dont need raw damage to win games especially in their best comps
so it hardly matters
felt the guys were so good bursting and avoidng my dmg, arcane mage op
after got 1-5 out
fuond out i was in 472 gear
swapped
enter a new lobby
Thank you guys
arcane mage again, beam + break + sweep, what he died in 3 globals?
Cuz sub is stun bot and dead 😂
What damage lose? 
Yeah I'm still 100-0ing as sub in duel
Idk if that's what yall are talking about but
There it is
Dude
being in a lobby with two arms, a ret paladin, and a demon hunter
What a fun and balanced game
can someone send me a screenshot of the arena victory splash screen?
idc about the rating, its for a meme so you wont be able to read it
cant, i play in spanish F
got it
yeah I tried to snipe it from your vods lol
it's always so cute when a DK fucks around and finds out, and they never seem to learn either
I genuinely believe that DK shouldve dodged the armor nerf
because holy hell
its bad
Right but it's just always melee
Subtlety rogues outpace you with CDR, outlaws outpace you with CDR, arms and ret and DKs just eat you
Jesus Christ, can we get rid of the 15% HP changes so I can properly burst people again please
Yesterday I played against someone with Honor Level 4083
Is that even possible without exploits?
Of course
Pikaboo, who's job it is to play PvP is only honor level 1564
How long has he pvped with that account?
If you went sweatlord no life on the honor system specifically back in legion you earned insane honor levels when it all converted
And Pika doesn’t do anything outside of arena which is a trash method of grinding honor
Fair
I just know that some of the well known exploiters also have crazy high honor levels due to exploits
I love how “deliberate” and focused Assa plays but man is outlaw a breath of fresh air. Feels like the game just went on easy mode. Even though I’m still fucking up and running around like a coked out terrorist with a revolver I’m finding it so much quicker to climb.
See I found the opposite. I love outlaw. Super durable, constant go's. It's all around better all the time. But assa was giving me better results. However, I'm super aware that I started outlaw (I've been a rogue for 3 weeks) and tried assa the past few days so I already knew 'how to play ' somewhat. Bear in mind I'm still terrible. So my experience is mega bias
Rogue is rogue, how you want to deal your damage is your spec. So If you know rogue you know what to do. Spec is flavor.
Don’t ever try destro lock. U might end up in psychiatrist hospital
this seems like a bug - SD killed someone through cocoon
you guys running the 4 peice, for sub pvp?
U get less shadowy tech procs which is less finishers during ur goes
Since shadowy tech just fills ur cp bar now
It's very stronk
But some people just want 1% more mastery 
A rogue friend of mine ran double blue silken lining with crafted lifebound mastery boots
He was absolutely poppin off
Had engineering head and bracers too
that's a lot of mastery
Shadowblades fills combo points thanks to finally being a solid cd.
Shadow techniques does not, it builds one and stores it along with granting 7 energy (if talented into improved version) same as Assassins 7 energy or Outlaw talents.
Shadow techniques build over time, faster weapon helps speed that up but isn’t dramatically different out of the box. SND greatly improves qol of the cadence but it isn’t any faster than how Outlaw or Assassins gain energy with their respective ways.
Yeh finality focused builds with 116% mastery , dude was probably hitting close to 6k mastery rating. There are quite a few classes who build big ol amounts of mastery as well (feral druids allegedly utilize as much rating and mist weavers )
Become ungovernable and be a Dh and just roll your butt across the keyboard to win instead.
Maybe lol
Twerk the others to death
Cast Sequence it
Be an absolute delinquent and accidentally tab target people as enhancement
Enhancement lava burst cast be the equivalent to a night at Taco Bell with too much sriracha on them tacos
You see them little shits flying across the arena and you know to take cover or die
Yeah tab target af along with windwalkers accidentally 40-0 people that they aren’t targeting
huh
Actually I see mvqdh doing double blue silken DH too
A little hard to control the timing of the stat boots on sub so I can understand the idea behind it
People start doing double silken over main stat boots now
For spec mainly not targeted
But for assa the stat boots going off whenever is gonna be better
Even double verdant looks tempting lol
Might f around with verdant more
I did on ptr back when we all tested stuff
Had good uptime
The uptime is insane
Makes sense as the effects are randomized and a sizable amount smaller to compensate for balance reasons
Yes it builds 1 cp at a time. And whenever there is enough store to fill your bar, it fills your bar instantly after you press a builder (or finisher during shadowbladws). It's what leads to you being able to 1 cheap shot finish fairly often or back to back finisher very often during shadowblades
Yep
And the difference between a slow and a fast is quite substantial
Sims are a meme in pvp but it's worth 15% raw damage for sub in pve
🤷
Its a lot of extra finishers
The individual still builds stacks yes
Pretty damn good thing instead of old cruddy shadow techniques
is this the right helmet craft for sub pvp?
Yes one option , the other is the engineering one some guys use along with the tier helm.
I tried to get the victory from your vods. Get with the program.
ah got it lol
Goober
Quesetion - if I want to play a certain class well, e.g. a mage, should I first master one spec or play each spec alternately?
Just start with the spec you like. Learn the core of the class and how the spec specific interacts with it, then branch out to the other specs if you want but it’s not necessary
yeah start with the spec you love
for some classes different specs play like different classes
how do u fckin survive 😄
Im literally weaving +-200 cr depends on a lobby
Like I just had a lobby where mm rapid fire me to death. while he was on fear dr
What map u on
Lorderon
When u play as a caster u notice so much brain dead stuff from the healers. It’s insane
I seen a lock pillar and immolate pets to boost haste
Then come out and blow up some chaos bolts
Hard to pillar at lorderon map
Mm running after u with pala
And my dh is training their healer
And the moment u are trying to juke cast u lost half hp
I can only play caster lobbies. Cuz idiots are usually die from the observer 😂
or my fav is when u tp from melee pressing cds on u. and they run to u and u die and healer after "bro u lossed me" 😄
Lordaeron has some great pillar spots
Sounds partially like a shitty team issue, letting a MM pop off and not have to play defensively
Sitting here at work watching what might be the awc prelims
Outlaw is smoking every team that doesn’t have one lol
All the subs that rerolled are going to get us nerfed ☹️
I mean they haven’t really been rolling out updates lately
Been kinda minor, maybe it will slide 😂. Don’t they not touch it during tourney time anyway
Bruh 
We all rogues. Why only sub should suffer?)
That is going to be really stupid to nerf outlaw next.
Okay, I’m done with lock. Gonna train every fuckin healer till next reset on outlaw 😂
Sub deserves it 🙂 but if Outlaw gets nerfed then rogue is dead this tier and probably even next
Making spec dead is not deserved
They’ve been king for 2 expansions, they can live with it for a season
Sub has far and away been the best pvp spec for over 2 expansions when you go by seasons. Sub will be top again once the nerfs are undone from this season as well
Does CDR work on gouge too lol
His toolkit makes him better than other rogue
For outlaw
Sub has been nerfed numerous times this season, the only reason Outlaw has started to pull ahead
They were nerfing it while ppl getting more gear.
Dh was nerfed way more and it still s tier
While sub is trash
DH is a completely different class, why would you bother mentioning it
It also shows how bonkers strong DH was to still be that good after the nerfs
Cuz u can balance class and make it still playable
Not like sub is not. But why would shoot urself in the foot when u can just spec into outlaw
Dh was fine. They just shouldn’t add idiotic passive that can randomly boost all his damage up to 60%
Or even more
well what spec...
i think warlock 3 specs are in very different stage
though all good
The one that is leading ss death ratio 😂😂
Remember when they did a full rogue rework at start of this season then sun and assa were basically the same and now they nerfed sun into oblivion lol blizz are wild
affl?
Destro
Destro is gonna get trainer 247 lol
probably only if you pair with fire/marksman you might get a breath
Tell me about. I feel like I have brain damage after 3 days of solo
No one said Subs need to stay on a severely nerfed Sub. Just annoyance that all of the rerolls are going to get a knee-jerk nerf lobbed at Outlaw which will kill the spec. It’s good right now, but I foresee them at least cutting Dispatch damage by 10% which will double nerf BtE and Dispatch
I want to enjoy playing alt, so i am doing demo lock hahahahahaah
i don't want to be trained 247
I kinda love destro stuff. Throwing bolts and golems
but I wasn;t prepared for being bullied
Nerfing outlaw after sub would make ppl lose their shit real bad
I guess destro is more finding your test during dr
and kill right back
but destro got fairly good dmg even without casting
so I dont think they would. Or at least adjust some really overtuned stuff. which is okay
yea, only to ur mental health 😄
but use double schools
I didn;t even know wow can make me so angry
If I knew i would throw all my conquest on mm or even war
also i am not used to portals
I'm okay with portal. Bad with gateaway. portals are op
it also feels so werid if you have portal on your side of map
only if ur healer know lock can port
and then somehow battle goes to other side
u just put a new one. its almost insta cast
yeah
i know
but i kinda alwasy forget
cause when you push, normally you are taking adv
so you try to close the game by cc/dmg
you don't walk to another safe spot to place the portal
I learned that hard way. with 90% slow trying to reach 40range to port away 😄
when it's needed, it's too late...
I just usually put it randomly if ppl ran away. So I can get move speed and 8% dr
demo lock is fun, lots of times i got wins without realizing what i am doing
like it's easy to put healer in like 12 seconds cc chain by myself
i honestly don't even know if my pet is still attacking kill target
I only have fun in caster lobby.
destro is op in caster lobby
I just put observer and go afk smoking. 😂
i think yesterday i put a rogue out of combat for like 30 seconds
cause fear made him run to the initial open gate lol
Lmao
then i stuned, fear fear, with 70% slow then i teleported
he didn't come back for like another 10 secs lol
sometimes it's crazy to see how far people can run under fear
If I have horny “me smash” on me. I bait him away into fear>bolt>fear>bolt into slow. Usually that’s enough for them to understand they made a mistake 😂
trying out assa for bgs, im full pve gear minus the pvp trinket set, wut embellishments should i get. i have toxic thorns/decay atm?
sigh, ret 50 and last round, a me war me leap me die
then i exited 5-1 basically without playing
I have zero idea but check out shadenox’s vids as he digs Assassination and recently put out some stuff concerning that.
kk thanks
No sweat man , didn’t see the boys say anything so figured id try to help
appreciate it, im crushing bgs in pve gear so thought maybe get some pvp gear and try some rated
Is shadenox competing? He got a stream?
just went 10-0 k/d in a bg, with top damage lol
spread bleeds with IC and DM kingsbane main target then laugh
for bgs, arenas prob different
lol
then it might be worth it giving it a try
any good build for it?
steal all the kills cuz dots a ticking too so funny
dis what im playing around with
thx
just youtube
Take CT
I mean you are using an aoe build, with that I think CT works super well with dance garrote rupture shive
If you just sit base then probably you gonna go single build
Tbh I also don’t get why you don’t take tea.. but if it works great
i agree brother, still playing around, this just seems to work for bgs, appreciate the insite as i go to rbgs, CT would prob help
Think he has been posting video on YouTube
its more of a mixed build so i have a little of both
im still wondering wut embellishments people take, im full pve gear so toxic boots?
You can watch shadenox sin guide
It looks you are new to pvp
honor lvl 623 lmao
He shows the single build and aoe build and explains why
But trying to use toxic boot…
so wut embellishments?
Most uses primary stat cc boot and blue silken head, so it works for both sub and sin
Toxic boot doesn’t do anything for pvp (almost)
Also just take tea
There’s no reason to not take it in pvp
And drop 6cp and the haste talents leading 6cp
They also do very little in pvp

cum boots
Try harder, you almost started an argument.
I just woke up and want to fight
pve gear superior to pvp gear
Yeah it be like that sometimes
never see it coming
Oh outlaw gang
Guess what
Idk if you knew this but non-crackshot builds still suck pp
I'm currently playing frost mage and outlaw rmp in 3s. Trying to decide if we want to stick with disc or swap to holy does anyone know which is best?
That’s why I had to stop, it’s exhausting dealing with these caliber of people
It's so annoying when you're trying to start something and they're like "yeah dude I totally agree"
Like
Tf
Also yes, the damage difference in non-crackshot builds means no other builds exist
Disc is the stronger of the 2 priest healers right now, especially in the damage contributing side of things
5-0 LETS GOO, EZ GAME
nuh uh
i mean its alreay 489...
ye, but pvp is 489 also... when in combat
with players
its meant for pvp
yeah so wuts wrong with pve gear if stats are alright
pvp trinket set of course
i get kicked from rgbs fo pve gear so sadge
pvp stats set is better
Alrighty thx!
40% vers not enough, i can get more
@jolly sierra new mog coming to the shop for your pandaness
u mean with pvp or pve gear?
oh ok
she will look like a madoka magica w that
pretty fitting
lol
we've gotten desperate
if only non-crackshot builds were good. I hate the RNG of either getting crackshot resets and blasting a guy, or getting none and doing fuck all for damage. It's so frustrating
it's so frustrating I'm begging blizzard for Sin/Sub drops from M+ so I can swap at least for next season. It's really fucking annoying
Is Lariat worth crafting as your second embellishment if you have 7 gem slots?
I have the boots as my first Embellishment
sims babbbyyy
whos getting lua error spam frow wa?
someone help. what is this addon that shows spells used (globals) icon oppossite side of big debuff in nameplate?
Where can I get some decent subtlety weak auras?
All the ones I have don't have my pvp abilities in them
God it's insane this nonsense is not baked into the UI yet
I'm not at all, but I custom create all of my weak auras. If you are running bug grabber/bug sack it should tell you which WA is throwing the errors
I only have one. from skillcap for healer cc
and it usually spam error during arenas so im not looking
actually I dont see shit cuz its not going away and I'm forced to play with lua error rest of the match
install bug grabber and bug sack addons, you won't get spammed like that
and you can check the issue after a match
okay, tnx
I remember back in sl there was an addon or command to turn off lua errors
exactly how to do this
Install these two addons
normally when you have no errors, your minimap icon for these addons will look like this
when you get 1 or more errors, the bag will turn red
and an audio cue saying "Fatality" in a skeaky bug voice will play
Is there a way to add kingsbane on top of enemy name plate
Like other debuffs/dots I added to enemy
^ This I have been trying to do that as well
yeh can list white list it in an addon you dig such as plater
I completely made my elv to do all the stuff i wanna do with it such as priority listing stuff like that on a target.
Could also just make a weak aura and attach it to a nameplate instead if you wanted to
Im using the betterblizzplates and frames which I like better but with plater it might be a bug I would whitelist kingsbane dot but it would not show on the frame. I would get shiv which I like a lot just not kingsbane
I dont use plater anymore but having the same issue with betterblizzplates
yeah probably some neat setting they made just requires some guess and check I suppose
u can weakaura it if u wanna to
plater can also handle that pretty easily
Yeah it seems to have everything displaying fine but Kb

yeh when you make a weak aura there will be a display option for it to be customized to hang out on wherever you want on a nameplate with whatever additional options you want to do. really sick stuff.
i just do that shit with a timer and a swipe line
works well
also can move the shit at will
3d healer left in last 5ss. I got my revenge 😄
So we would say Sub is still best rogue for pvp ?
ye
mr streamer says its outlaw
Same issue on plater so I made mine have a glowy border with tellmewhen
Dragged it over my normal kingsbane icon
Whats my lethal poison as sin? Deadly or Wound?
Depends on your setup
no
These are my talents. We are talking absolute garbage pvp player here that is doing just enough to get the conquest and honor needed for the mogs and thats it.
Setup = ur comp what u play
mutilate sux tho
Hello my rogue friends. I have come to accept that 1750 is my hard cap without having some kind of Diminishing Returns tracker and an important defensive cooldown tracker for my opponents so I know when they're vulnerable. Any suggestions, folks?
do you want suggestion for tracker add ons or general suggestion?
For tracker add ons, preferably one that doesn't take much brainpower to configure, because I am old and I'm not good at that stuff
Currently my only add on is Luxthos weak aura, which is super frustrating since it doesn't track Smoke Bomb (or Shadowy Duel, for subtlety)
But I think there are add ons that track enemy defensive cooldowns like trinkets and stuff
I just don't know what they are
Subtlety in particular feels impossible to play without a defensive cooldown tracker, I went 18-0 with Subtlety and then just ran into a wall of using Shadowy Duel on people who still had two defensive cooldowns to use
They will always have some sort of cd if your partner doesn’t pump
Okay, the next time I play I will try to find the Diminish add on
Bad partner usually equals a loss at higher rating
At lower rating you can cheese wins
Yeah up to 1500 it was like a joke
Beyond that, it's like impossible to get kills without knowing if their trinket is on cooldown or not
You guys might feel proud of me though, I increased my Mastery from 30% to 80%
My versatility went down a lot though
Up until 1800 you’ll still see people not know how to burst so it is really a crapshoot
That number was lower but inflation started back I think
Yeah I had a lot of games where no opponent would ever be low enough to make Shadowy Duel worth using
And using Duel defensively feels awful
I might try Assassination again now that I have a respectable amount of Mastery, but the spec feels like it just dies so quickly
Need to use duel on healer following your successful cc chain
If you can’t secure kills with it
Aye
Problem being, I did that a few times, to remove the healer from the equation, and I'd come out of duel and both other opponents would still be at 25%
And I'm just like okay, what was my teammate doing during that duel lol
Can kidney or cheap into blind for the vanish sap if you have 2 vanishes then follow with your duel
Sounds like the mistake I'm making with subtlety is spending too much time trying to DPS and not enough time trying to create openings for teammates
DPS is irrelevant
Does the Diminish add on also track defensive cooldowns like opponents PvP trinkets?
no
Does such a thing exist, or are high level PvP players just geniuses who can sense when an opponent they haven't targeted for the whole match used their trinket?
Gladius tracks trinkets
Okay, I'll try downloading that one too, thanks!
Omnicd tracks defensives iirc
I use a cd tracker that hovers over each nameplate
Don’t remember name tho I’m at work
Im doing arena shuffle and random bgs. There is no setup.
What else am I supposed to use to generate cp?
Duel as a healer cc, you can 100-0 someone inside a single duel so no need to hold it til they're low
Can also duel healer as a defensive and kidney out of it to start a go
fok
Dps is not irrelevant but sub dps out of dance is irrelevant

it’s irrelevant if they be lookin at the final meters
@steel scarab but jokes aside as mentioned also before, the key is always to compare your dmg output vs enemy healing output
For sub lots of times you can zug 10 seconds more after our burst, but the dmg you fully focus on is actually very low
Surprisingly a lot of people do lol
100% lower than the HPS during the 10 sec you allow healer to heal
So on the other hand you could spend the 10 more seconds on interrupt and cc healer
So we use our 10k dps as cost to block 50k hps
So teammate can land a kill
@waxen meteor yeah my overall damage as sub is absolutely terrible
I figured that was normal for the spec though
I might give assassination another try though @waxen meteor
I think I went from 30% mastery to 70%
i will try outlaw pve first probably, i am a bit overwhelmed by too many btms available last time i tried
Gotta have different addon I think too, Welinth has a good setup
Imma just copy his
run into a outlaw that did like 100k dps in most rounds of my lobby
Yep, when you see the AR or dance it’s best to ask your Druid to triple cyclone and then cc them till it’s over
So they can’t get as good CDR
AWC might get outlaw nerfed tho lol
Only pve classes are allowed to do damage like affliction
I dont beleive in this
Perception propaganda isn’t justifiable grounds for down tuning a class regardless of how people feel about x class
We’ll just have to wait and see. Watching Pikas pre-AWC games against Team Liquid were extremely boring slogs of dampening and the rogue damage was not what scored kills at all
Was actually funny, Pika would do his usual “kidney this guy, kill kill kill!” Stuff and the guy wouldn’t even really start dying until after Whizz started casting into the target
isnt that ret? lol
No idea what the next step is that they have planned but yeh weird lately
Doubt crit damage / healing would be bumped up either
my ret just now arrived 2kish at solo, last lobby i released stun on healer more than healer dispell magic stun on me....
i got a full hoj at game open
and healer didn't dispell it....
that was more than i expected....
bruh
just fought a chicken and a fucking augvoker as assa
The first 10.2 ptr build was the best iteration of outlaw the game has ever seen
I've never been sentimental about a ptr build
Honest non inflammatory question: what made that solid? (I have zero idea honestly)
And “why” did it change? Goal vs design wise I guess
Had dreadblades/marked for death, the talent positions were solid, etc. The only flaw was the poison part of the class tree.
What's funny is if Realz weren't so stubborn about SnD, it would've been completely solved with the audacity/broadside proc change
Id rather have tools than not “need them”
What is the angle of Audacity/ Broadside in that regard?
Wdym
Pulling stuff out is never cool is what I was getting at
Audacity changes Sinister Strike to Ambush as well as the assassination version
Yeah DB could have been a choice node or something for you guys
Yeah
The synergy between crackshot and dreadblades felt like a hot shower after a long day.
Lmao
DB got deleted because it was too problematic for realz to get right (pve) and also i think he specifically wanted outlaw to have a route to make ER viable, and DB basically removed the need to ever use it
so yea pve reasons
God I hate ER
by removing it he ensured KiR builds in pve would run ER for CP generation
Well they, I wouldn’t put it all on him. That’s not fair to say as he just speaks to us.
im fairly sure he did the redesign of the tree. he submits it to someone over him of course to ok on it
but i dont think it was a team effort to make the tree
that generally only happens to specs that dont currently have a dev focused on them
(and is also usually not a good thing because it means you have multiple people that dont really care about ur spec just trying to give it some generic changes)
He works hard for sure
I think I should just quit wow
anyway the real reason he removed DB is probably because it made crackshot much more "boring" to play
That's bull
you basically just held it for every vanish, guarenteeing every crackshot window played nearly exactly the same
as you could ignore all builder rules
and never had to think about which builder to press
I dig
i get wanting consistency for pvp, but i also understand why he removed it with how it played with crackshot
I hold disdain for wanting players to use ER
well I love ER so i cant relate to that, its just a shame its not good in pvp :p
i currently play kir in pve (because its becoming the dominant spec) and its decently fun
I wish HO/ER was viable xd
I aint a fan of ER but I can step out of the way for those that do.
Okay so what do yall want nerfed because devs keep fucking with what I play
I dig different play styles
Okay
god i had a double DH lobby again yesterday
kill me brother
just a bunch of batty fuks zooming around bluring every other stun
I mained unholy and outlaw for years. Now idgas about what happens to either
I'd unironically have more fun fotm rerolling
I fought a lot in the pve channels, glad the big man heard some of it out at least
I don’t subscribe to “only this way”
Regardless of us pvpers being prodded a lot
I miss flag/greenskin outlaw so damn bad
Someone yesterday brought up gsw can still crank yeah? (W/o crackshot stuff)
Nerfed greenskin too
Frig
Not really
How could it? It just doesn't do a lot and pistol shot isn't where our damage is at these days.
I would not know man
its not like its worthless, just not as good
It was a rhetorical question lol
Gotcha
i think u see alot of random stuff in outlaws builds among even top players rn because u really dont need to 100% optimize damage to win games anyway
alot are just playing it like sub rogue, holding stuff for goes, setting up goes
very rogue like, instead of pveing at the enemy
like i think its 99% troll to dump vers for mastery at any point in time as outlaw
As long as you have the bottom left of the outlaw tree, it's generally a decent build.
but almost all top outlaws are 30% vers like 30% mastery
I know people dont like using sims for pvp but if u look at laws damage in a crackshot window, or damage breakdown in general in pvp, its very very similar to pve
and in pve, vers is 2-3X as good as mastery on one guy, even past the second DR
people legit going to 50% vers in pve rn
i personally have 47% vers in pvp rn no mastery and my damage seems very similar to the top players I watch (obviously i dont play as well as them pvp wise, im not a god gamer or anything)
so you dont really need to be fully optimized for damage to perform well as rogue in pvp in general
yea idk they look at their breakdowns and their mastery is like 3-4% more overall them mine
but they are giving up 13-15% damage on all other sources for it
now to be fair, usually DRs do matter
laws secondaries are all just so bad, that they dont for it

laws secondaries basically breakdown to "what makes crackshot window damage go up"
and the answer to that is like, crit to around 40% ish, then everything versa
yea idk i think mastery is trolling, but clearly it doesnt matter all that much
and thats not even considering the 5-7% additional DR you gain over them
sitting here with 25% DR from vers
at all times
helps with natural cleave and such yea
Pistol talent + deadened nerves + elusiveness yehhh boy
god the new PS talent is so nice feel sooooooo tanky this season
any solo shuffle lobby where the melee go me i'm just like yes
we auto win this in dampening
That’s pretty slick
rotate ur 40s cd evasion with feint and natural tankiness
cheat was good when people were dying in a stun but ive started dropping it
feels so hard to die in a stun now a day
especially post sub nerf
nothing feels like it will global me in a stun unless I wasnt topped before a go which is on my for not proactivly feinting
The pre feint before a stun 
that's if you have evasion up, cheat death is just another big defensive
I'm am above dying in a stun
well for law evasions always up 
for basically any set of Cds the enemy team can have anyway
and feint literally is always up
you can maintain 100% feint uptime if you need to
(wouldnt recommend tho its a pretty expensive thing)
It’s pretty sick
Literally a rune tap for rogues
it's pretty much having a few small defensives vs having a big defensive
i still kill people in the opener every few games at 2200 mmr
Tired of all these fake outlaws
not sure about subt doing 0 dmg
Except when cheat death is spent, that's it.
Elusiveness prevents you from even getting to that point
it's never cut and dry like that
most of the times when i find cheat death useful is for win next go situations
you basically guarantee your win a go early
Ah ya I mean vs certain setup comps I'd certainly still play cheat
But even around 2400 rating teams in shuffle r rarely coordinating to the level where I wouldnt rather elusivness
I was mainly talking shuffle
ah yeah i never play shuffle
The Pika simps are hilarious. For context he’s not using BtE during his crackshot windows, and some commenter asked why
i fucking hate streamers npcs
that is the reason we have heavy shiftings in classes
Cultists shift classes for sure. Its not cool.
ye, not cool, instead playing by themselves needs to rely in a streamer to take a decision
if the streamer hasnt any position about something they neither
Well he knows how outlaw works just sometimes cheap shoting ppl more. Still funny comments
oh well if hes cheap shotting for cc thats one thing, i assumed he was dispatching instead of bteing
Is it okay to have low versatility for Assassination?
I swapped a lot of gear to have more mastery and my versatility dropped a lot
Yeah he was dispatching constantly instead of BtE
yea ok thats a meme
could also be a bug with his gcd display tho
id be very surprised if he was doing that
crackshot casts a dispatch for each bte and logs pick it up as a distinct cast of dispatch so wouldnt surprise me if his gcd tracker is picking up those dispatches
That’s quite funny assuming he doesn’t know how to play outlaw. Prob a challenge from a viewers.
Yea, usually it shows bte with dispatch during dance
@jolly sierra oh wow
I guess I have to work on getting my versatility up some more then
Oh that a vid from awc qualifying
I'm hoping I didn't make a mistake crafting the Needlessly complex wristguards and the engineering helmet
I think I still have one spark left
check my armory
How do I see it
i WOULD LOVE sLICE AND dICE TO BE LIKE WARRIORS BATTLE SHOUT
u can always change the stats on ur engi stuff
caps
change one to vers if u think ur low
not sure how much vers sin runs tho to be clear
@tribal badger that's true, good point, I would lose a fair but of mastery, I think it'd put me around 55% if I changed one to versatility
Ah, you're only wearing the 2 piece, that information does help
I'm wearing 4 pieces
I agree with Panda not ideal to have lower than 30% vers outside of pvp combat. Seems like 33% or higher is the sweet spot then mastery
Im a little bit lower on my Rogue Im 33% to 34% vers in pvp combat with 70% mastery give or take
i think im at the same
maybe 30% vers and 74% mastery
but i prefer mastery honestly
I have a rogue I experimented with four set for assa (nice have 3 rogues to try different things) but he has the lowest vers at 29% in pvp combat and its actually noticable that Rogue will not be a four set user anymore they all going the same thing soon. Shoot for at least 33% or more vers
30% is fine if you can make it work
but lower than that I think its miserable territory weird how that works out
but its what I noticed for me
My 2s healer did confirm the 33% vers he didnt have to heal me as much and it felt better for him
37% for you @jolly sierra must feel great
I just not sure what I would switch out my damage profile feels really good right now
sorry for wall of text
oh im sub
that flat damage plus the mastery and balanced crit feels nice af
idk if its the same for that
stats were heavenly balanced for me
I have dabbled in sub and I tend to like a lot of mastery for sub
can recheck as sub later if u wanna to
@exotic dove that wasn't a wall of text, it was very helpful!
true
but are stats the same for assa and sub?
i don't think 29% vs 33% are that much of diff
That is good to hear swapping out the neck cause I am using crafted one would probably grant me near or at your vers
but overall vers is very good stat for sin, even after 30%
Its weird you wouldnt think so but my healer said this 2s sess on the one rogue I was easier to heal compared to the other day
That is why its weird
This is at 2100-2200 cr range
it's just 2% less dmg taken
Yeah I honestly dont know
most likely the difference is casue of match up
It was a 2 hour session
im pandaren so i can cheat more versa tho
but baseline is 37 i recall
sub has more mastery
Ive played with him since Legion too and he wasn't BSing me
That’s what my properly geared one is at
my vers is lower than what i want to be for sin, but it shares same gear with sub
so...
i am fine with that
Vers is just a great stat for Rogue period
like 1% swap from vers/mastery doesn't change anything
and how would % be?
@willow valley Sub I have less vers than I do as Assa with conquest cap removed I have around 28% vers as Sub and like over 100% mastery I will have to log in and check
need to check
100?
damn
how u get that much
Yeah Sub my mastery is high percentage
my DH had two awesome wins in a lobby, then remain 4 games my healer got all one shotted
my brain
Sub gains more % mastery than Assa does if I put my sub gear on Assa it would only be 80% as Assa give or take
ye wasnt lying as assa
but its over 100% for sub
I knew you weren't
as sub
My vers as sub is lower its like 27% outside of pvp but mastery is in the 100% for me
tbh sub isn't a bad kill target nowadays
i love going subs as ret or warr
Might be because I play alot of Assa too but when I play Sub I feel like a big livelord
depends on how much cleave dmg on you
I also think I'm gonna swap to Elusiveness
i was always using elusiveness
Matches go so long, Cheat Death doesn't feel as impactful as it did before
😭
ye
sin probably should use conquest cloak more
but i am too lazy to take another spot in my bag
so im not removing that
but what are ur stats?
k
i just have a little bit less vers and a little bit more mastery than u
but i think im ok with 83 mastery
if i can have 97 or so it would be awesome
x2
i mean when do you have more mastery than me under sin..
i have 83
its just 4% difference
engineering googles
fuck
i cant play assa
i dont have a dagger in the offhand 😭
XD
then im going back to play with my dk
he is going sub check the screen
I had a lot of fun playing outlaw today, what's wrong with me?
You like to live fast, highest apm spec in the game!
Assa/aug in 3s is actually fun lol
Aug can still play?
I literally saw zero Aug this season in solo….
lol had my first
Main hand item level first
is 3 ilvl that big of a difference to run crit tho
yeah
High apm. High survivability. Short cooldowns. Less planning. All around good times !
did you sim it
i'm trying to but raidbot doesn't seem to have a pvp option
there is no universe where weapon damage (ilvl) is not the biggest and most important upgrade. Trying to get ~200 mastery over 3ilvl on your mainhand is insanity
everything we do is calculated off of our MH weapon damage first and foremost
i don't think you need to sim it
in pvp it has been main hand ilevel first forever...
also crit isn't that bad
i asked a friend and he said mastery is more important than 3 ilvl
your friend is weird
what's rogue first conquest item
just ask this to yourself
always main hand weapon
Yeah with the exception of offhands all the sub and assa rogues including my Rogues have conquest weapon on main hand
regardless if its crit or not
also by all means, stop asking people with more knowledge than your friend, if you're just going to ignore us and say your friend says X

i mean my friend is an mglad rogue main, i'm just asking for opinions
it's not that deep
then feel free to fuck off and stop wasting our time 🙂
ign?
of your friend*
i'm not saying anyone is wrong here, he also doesn't care about gear so he's just talking from how he gears his chars
but i feel like it's unnecessary to be that angry about me talking about another person's input
tbh,
i dont think it's a question
also i think all top rogue is using conquest dagger
and as discussed here, if you use sub tea build, crit is one of the desired stat, nothing to avoid
yeah tea build is dying
they kinda overbuffed er
the notes said like 49% but it was actually closer to 75%

and sub even has armor pen for it
what the fuck was that other guy on about i'm still shocked
tbh your 'but my friend said' is a bit annoying
it's surely not offensive at all
but it's not something that makes others comfortable
yeah like i said he doesn't care about gear but he's definitely qualified to give inputs so that's the only reason i said it
not saying anyone here is wrong
is there an increase of outlaw players or is it coincidence
why tho
prbly more dropped sub in solo
we can bring a mglad here and ask wtf is he using as main hand if u wanna to
dude it literally does not matter
i'm just asking to see if there's any number behind it
why are people so fucking heated over other people having opinions? it's not like only people in this discord can ever share their points?
And this is the third time i've said this if you can't read but i'm not saying anyone is wrong here because i don't have the numbers.
cuz after getting ur opinion here u went with "my mglad friend said otherwise". at which point Seijuro pointed you a way
which I completely understand
Yeah i presented an opposing opinion to see what they think about it. I don't think it's ever wrong to disagree with anyone even if they're rank 1
If they pointed out that my friend was wrong which they did then i'd gladly accept it
So Mr seijuro told you what he thinks about that
I completely agree with him at this point
What he thinks about that is i just ignored it which i'd just not have asked if i did
How hard is it to say "no that's wrong" instead of "fuck you how dare you question us"
You said you wanted an opinion and now u want us to prove someone wrong. It seems you don’t know yourself what u actually want here. Except wasting our time
also, if u are here asking stuff
literal is because you wanna our opinion
instead insta dishing it with ur friend
u wanna know the true reason about those 3 ilvl?
its because ALL ur overall offensive abilities are calculated with weapon damage
mastery will affect just your finisher damage compared to your overall damage
if u are going sub
that is it
I asked 2 people and they have opposing opinions, then i told one the others. Is that not a thing at all? Where you actually tell people where they fucked up?
No one's even dishing anyone, i didnt tell him what you guys said and only asked for his take
you did
This here was all i needed. I don't know who was wrong and i asked for it
And you've got an answer for that question too. But you didn't like it and u pulled my friens is glad like it should make any diference
after being unsatisfied with our opinions
I pulled it cz someone brought it up?
he is not wrong
I literally didn't say a word more until they did first
Yeah i agree with him and that was what i brought up my friend's opinion for, to see if he was wrong
Fourth time i said this, i'm NOT SAYING ANYONE'S WRONG HERE
Can you read the message above that?
Like i just said in the message above, i didnt say a word until someone brought it up
If the discussion is regarding the stats on the mainhand conquest weapon
its ilvl vs secondary stats ultimately
typically you'll see people choose ilvl for the dmg with the consideration that the more optimised your crafted gear gets, the more mastery you get and the faster you hit DRs, whereas agi is less optimised
losing the 3 ilvls gets more mastery, can be done while gearing, but is much less common once you minmax
regardless the gameplay impact is so tiny and there's not much point arguing semantics of what happened before now that ive laid it all out
it was a very specific set of circumstances
but that 1mil kings bane made me giggle
maybe was because his confidence to say "mastery is more important than 3 ilvl"
ppl here disregards stuff when is wrong
to avoid misinformating
you're in this channel every day and still write shit that does nothing but perpetuate arguments, surely you've got something better to do
And he was wrong for that. I wanted to see if it was wrong so i brought it up
