yep

sick wasp
#

sub is also by far

#

the most difficult specc to play

#

like,no specc in game is as hard as sub in pvp

steel scarab
#

@sick wasp how does Assassination have a 1 shot every minute though? Sin can't CC the healer and then oneshot someone reliably like Subtlety can with Smoke Bomb (2 min CD for Sub, 3 mins for Sin), plus Sub also has Shadowy Duel

steel scarab
#

Right but Kingsbane does nothing if the healer is still alive

sick wasp
#

kingsbane with dtb

steel scarab
#

Well, not CC'ed, I mean

sick wasp
#

is almost unhealable

steel scarab
#

I need to try this

sick wasp
#

u can kill,anything

#

even bears

tribal badger
#

well in general, sin does very high ST damage and very high ST pressure during cds (hard to call it burst since it ramps up over 8-10s)

#

it has decent cleave bleeding as well and the least defensives

sick wasp
#

kb is cheesy AF

tribal badger
#

sub is nearly always the lowest damage rogue spec but has the best control and setup ability of all 3

#

which is why it generally ends up the pvp spec (because rogue pveing is usually less effective then other classes)

sick wasp
#

sin has the highest pressure

#

out of the 3

#

unless outlaw has good rolls

#

4 poisons

tribal badger
#

outlaw is the tankiest but generally has the lowest burst and ok sustain (very strong sustain rn)

sick wasp
#

is waaay too strong for any healer

#

yes outlaw is the brawler

buoyant crow
#

There's definitely a point in the match where the poisons/bleeds are just too much in dampening for healers to heal through

#

Usually the tipping point in my matches where we win

sick wasp
#

yes its where u press kidney and the healer has to press cds

#

instead of actively heal

#

coz its not enough

jolly sierra
sick wasp
#

u also need to undersatnd that u dont send KB raw

#

u need to buff it

#

so u 1st envenom

#

shiv and then KB

#

to buff it

#

and then spam as much as u can to cap it out

#

also the last ''ticks'' of KB hit like a small nuke

tribal badger
#

do u not run dance as sin in pvp?

#

i assume you also dance it

surreal barn
sick wasp
#

and also there are alternatives ofc

#

its a matter of preference

#

shadenox tried dtb and SD

#

both worked

tribal badger
#

what would you play instead of SD

#

is there ER builds?

sturdy canopy
#

Booooo er

sick wasp
#

there are many stuff u can try

#

but ER is physical now

surreal barn
#

It’s not good

jolly sierra
#

tbh i dont like DTB atm

surreal barn
#

You can’t take it.

jolly sierra
#

the problem is procs like shit

surreal barn
#

You have to give up too much to take DTB, I will die on this hill

tribal badger
#

well ER being physical doesnt matter

#

they overbuffed it to compensate

#

it does way more damage now then it did last patch

#

even vs plate

#

they buffed it by like 79%

jolly sierra
#

do u remembered when we tested it in early pre 10.2?

tribal badger
#

thats why some sub r trying it again

jolly sierra
#

PTR?

sick wasp
#

u mean u hit more on DKs now than u did before?

#

or wars

tribal badger
#

yes

jolly sierra
#

it procced like shit and felt wasted

tribal badger
#

also dk cant ams it

jolly sierra
#

compared to KB and shadow dance

sick wasp
#

i hit about the same as sub with FW

#

what u boys been cooking

jolly sierra
#

this server discovered the shadow dance move with KB early

#

in week 1-2 assas were undecisive according what to run

sick wasp
#

its considered a classic man

#

its the pve sin set up

jolly sierra
#

we knew what to do

#

so ended right

tribal badger
#

ya i mean dance seems like the go to

#

snapshot ur kingsbane for free 8% more damage

sick wasp
#

u are confusing me boys.There is a ''rot'' build with dance/er/sbs and dtb

#

also u can tea or CB

#

and there is the ''cheese''

#

thats where the variables are

#

what u say all this time is the ''rot'' one

#

with no ER

tribal badger
#

well if u look at the top io sin rogues in shuffle

#

1 player out of 49 plays DtB

#

thats probably what they are referancing

#

theres def a mixing of builds

sick wasp
#

shuffle can vary coz ppl que vs certain comps and

#

yes thats the ''aoe''

tribal badger
#

but basically none of them are playing DtB

sick wasp
#

arterial shock

#

coz its aoe pressure

#

its the cheese

tribal badger
#

thats fair

#

we can check rated 3v3

#

of the top 50 sin queuing games

#

2 of them have played games with DtB

sick wasp
#

yes now its the meta

#

im not saying its not played

#

im saying waht u can play

tribal badger
#

sure i think what they are saying is DtB is badand nobody plays it anymore

#

and i think the stats do show it

#

but u can probably still win games with it

#

its just probably weaker then the other builds

sick wasp
#

i think that its irrelevant to check ppl that que rated 2.7-2.8

#

unless u que that range

tribal badger
#

well its like 2150-2800

#

for the top 50

sick wasp
#

but all things considered,ppl are monkey see monkey do

#

ye ik how it works

#

dw

#

its pvp anyway,play wahtever u feel more comforatble with

lucid citrus
sick wasp
#

its copying the highest brackets

lucid citrus
#

Why i mentioned it’s personal preference

#

You like playing with the talents you have, go for it

#

Play how you want to play

sick wasp
#

yeah im all for it but being part of pvp for years now i kinda udnerstand how ppl work

#

they wanna see something high rated and copy it

#

coz that dude is ''rank1''

#

that even applies in pve

#

same thing

#

ppl just copy stuff

halcyon timber
#

Mimic monkeys

gleaming pawn
#

Copying the r1’s is all well and good, until you realize most of them are all just copying each other too and not actually fully testing or mathing things out, just contributing to the cycle

sick wasp
#

the fun part to that its that is true

#

lol

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

#

F all that noise

sick wasp
#

e.g all the pikaboo fanbois yelling pika this pika that,the dude ques into an outlaw that rolls him over and pika plays the same thing,doing the same stuff the next day

#

yup

#

its where all reason dies

buoyant crow
#

I'm bad with abbreviations and again, kinda dumb

#

What's DTB

sick wasp
#

dragon tempered blades

lucid citrus
#

Dragon tempered blades

buoyant crow
#

Oh ok

#

🥴

#

I've actually been running that the whole time haha

sick wasp
#

its very good if u are new to rogue and reliable

buoyant crow
#

What's the other option?

sick wasp
#

there are many

buoyant crow
#

Sudden demise sounds good on paper

sick wasp
#

its cheesy

buoyant crow
#

But is it viable?

#

I do like reliability

sick wasp
#

ive tried it and its fine

#

its just gated behind arterial shock in general

gleaming pawn
#

I have always been super sus on it. In theory it’s good, and when it gets you a kill you woudln’t have otherwise it’s great. But most of the time it’s overkill

sick wasp
#

u need zoldycks and all

#

yeah it has an rng factor to it

#

thats why i pick dtb over it

buoyant crow
#

Ah I'll stick with what I'm using since it's working lol

sick wasp
#

u might kill a druid over bark n stuff if it procs when he's bleeding out but i prefer the dtb secure play

buoyant crow
#

Arterial and DTB

sick wasp
#

arterial is what gives the oppressive profile to sin

#

once u get below that range its very hard to heal through

buoyant crow
#

Yeah it's really nice

sick wasp
#

pair that with the poisons and u are shibacool

buoyant crow
#

I haven't messed around with the talents for abit

steel scarab
#

So that spec takes DTB over Zoldyck?

buoyant crow
#

I run both 😅

steel scarab
#

Oh, so you drop Scent of Blood and Sudden Demise instead

buoyant crow
#

Yeah

#

For 2s especially I feel like its better since the most you're getting from scent is 8% agility

#

Sometimes the rupture gets purged if the healers on point and you lose out even more

steel scarab
#

Interesting idea

buoyant crow
#

But for 3s or even into something with pets etc if you can maintain multiple bleeds it could be good

#

But then you're focusing on trying to keep it maintained on all that and it just becomes chaotic lol

#

And yeah Sudden Demise just seems super weird so I never played with it

#

But every time I read it it sounds spicy lol instant bleed out

#

Do you guys run bonespike?

steel scarab
#

@buoyant crow The instant bleed out portion of Sudden Demise rarely happens

#

When it does, the person was definitely dead anyway lol

buoyant crow
#

Yeah that's what I heard around here. Seems like jank

#

They should've made it maybe insta kill when the targets health is like 2% and has rupture applied they just die

#

But probably too op.. lol

#

I feel like "assassin" should have a killshot ability lol

Monks get one 🥲

surreal barn
#

It’s not the reason to pick it

jolly sierra
#

why are u dropping sudden demise

surreal barn
#

It’s the 10% damage

jolly sierra
#

its crazy good

buoyant crow
#

So you give up arterial and Zoldyck for scent and SD?

#

Or DTB and something else?

#

Poison bomb?

surreal barn
#

You’re still forced into a bleed build if you want max dps for single target as well, I’m still not sure how you’d take DTB

#

BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAokEhIJAAAAAAg0SiUSCAAAAAAUKJJSASSKRQkIJJJJJhWLSAA

#

With this build you can delete single target before your cloak even wears off

#

As far as getting SD to proc even tapping thistle tea will proc it (I’ve done it when a shaman was super low and dug underground)

#

If for some reason your dots are on their way out

buoyant crow
#

How core is sepsis to that build

surreal barn
#

As far as single target pretty big

buoyant crow
#

Might have to give it a shot and see how it feels

surreal barn
#

The crimson tempest build is infinitely better in most 3v3 solo situations though

gleaming pawn
#

It’s so good seeing Howton in broadcast AWC, and kicking ass as he does

buoyant crow
#

I don't play the tempest build either

#

And strictly playing 2s with a healer at the moment

#

BMQAcWb37Z8KXj8LlE1rTPXfsRSEikQAAAAAAINiUSCAAAAAAUKSSECSSapERSCJSSSk0atIBA

#

That's the talents I'm running, looks like I'll just swap DTB and Poison bomb for SD and Scent

#

Not sure I want to add another global into the mix with sepsis 😮‍💨

#

I'd have to drop tiny toxic blade for it

north rain
#

Niksi running the most troll mastery outlaw build ive seen

#

slapping with it

gleaming pawn
#

No crackshot wtf

north rain
#

no underhanded upperhand

gleaming pawn
#

Yeah, it’s just a weird build all around. I saw no subterfuge first and then my eyes went straight to crackshot. If he makes it work, that’s awesome. Just crazy to see such an off meta build

north rain
#

does spree giga proc mastery orsomething

gleaming pawn
#

Not that I’m aware of

north rain
#

i didnt even notice no subterfuge

gleaming pawn
#

Everything about Spree is normalized

north rain
#

hes got assa levels of control then

#

or less

#

with the benefit of being way tankier i guess, but way less dmg

surreal barn
#

Cup 2 is already on???

gleaming pawn
#

Really interesting picks for sure

gleaming pawn
tribal badger
#

well spree can proc alot of mastery yes its rapid MH attacks in quick succession

#

but it doesnt really move masteries value much

#

i doubt theres anytime where you make as many MH attacks in such a small window

gleaming pawn
#

Right, 5 MH hits over 2.5 sec but even so I don’t see that making mastery really any better than garbage tier

tribal badger
#

it wouldnt

#

For outlaw we always RTB after AR correct ? I was also wondering if our mastery can proc from both BTE and the Dispatch within crackshot Windows

gleaming pawn
#

You only roll if you need to reroll based on the reroll rules

#

You do want to ideally have loaded dice for your next roll

#

But if you have 3+ buffs already, you’re going to let them almost expire before you roll again

#

Depending on the buffs you have, you could also reroll before loaded dice falls off if it is going to fall off before you would normally reroll but that situation isn’t super common

Is killing spree doing dmg?

gleaming pawn

some, it's not amazing damage but it does a decent amount

#

people mostly chose it for the roots break

olive badge

any pointers?

why is my secret technique so weak. i use it after my SS and Evis on 7 combo points. it hits for like 50-60K

#

It is absolutely crazy that I cannot win games using Mutilate

#

But I swap to the silly FOK spam build and I go 5-1

#

Like can we buff mutilate please

#

It makes zero sense that Mutilate hits for essentially the same damage as Fan of Knives, except Fan is AOE and applies the poisons to everyone. And mutilate costs twice as much energy. And Fan generates more combo points in Arena than Mutilate does since there are lots of targets. And Fan is easier to hit people with, since talented, it has a ~13 yard AOE, while mutilate is, at best, 8 yards

#

Like can we make Mutilate worth using please

#

I think probably all they'd have to do to make it viable is not have Vicious Venoms also make Mutilate more expensive to use (????)

#

You can't put a talent like that in a tree alongside an incredibly core talent that says "you must stay above 50% energy or your damage output will be intensely nerfed"

steel scarab
#

Like I get not being able to compete in arena at 2000+ unless you're using the fully meta build, but I can't even win games at 1600-1700 using Mutilate

#

But I smash the same games with Fan of Knives

#

I mean I'm happy at least Fan is viable but it would be cool if our main builder was viable in PvP lol

#

hihi, zug zug

halcyon timber

Fuck that whole heartedly

#

Less frequent shadow dance is methodical , the high frequency nonsense dilutes the cd and gets constantly nerfed anyway.

Glad our dev said no to all that and is doing what looking at lessons from the past instead.

Kalvish's team has really leveled up this season in terms of skill expression and performance in the AWC

#

it's too bad Nahj hasn't also had the same performance bump

north rain
#

Nahj is 32

#

Kalvish is a teen

gleaming pawn
#

Nahj's age has nothing to do with the performance of his team? Just like Kalvish isn't winning games by himself

#

and Trill/Pikaboo/Whaaz are all older and are better, so again, age has fuck all to do with it

tribal badger

its also just not nadjs meta

He’s stuck in his ways

and has never brought a non rogue class to a tournament as well

ah I see, thank you for clearing that up. Yes Nahj's comms have always amazed me in terms of how high he reaches on ladder

envenom does not affect kingsbane

it does in it increases the frequency you apply poisons and KB damage amps up for every poison damage application

jolly sierra

it doesnt

#

check aura modifiers

tribal badger
#

what modifier?

jolly sierra
#

where it says modifies by

#

and then envenom in modifies

tribal badger
#

i still dont understand what u mean

#

envenom doesnt increase kingsbane damage directly

jolly sierra
#

i say, envenom does not affect kingsbane

#

neither procs

tribal badger
#

it increases how often u proc ur weapon poisons

#

yes it doesnt increase the proc frequency of kingsbane dot

jolly sierra
#

yep

tribal badger

it increases how often u apply instant/wound/deadly poison

weapon poisons

Hey all, just returned to season 3. Any recommended rogue spec for 3v3?

#

I’ve been Subtlety since I started way back in the day but I’ll never change. The thief style is what I do in any game.

steel scarab
#

I will say this though, Eridian, regarding "play how you want"

#

The game is in many cases tuned so that sometimes, you can't "play the way you want" and be even slightly successful. Before the HP changes, I was able to get 1750 using completely random gladiator gear. But after the 15% hp buffs, I went from being able to crush people to having absolutely no killing power. And the ONLY viable assassination build currently involves very low versatility and very high mastery

#

So my entire gearset became completely useless overnight. Despite this, I kept slamming games without changing my gear

#

Big mistake

#

In this game, unfortunately, in many cases, you HAVE to be a meta slave

#

What blizzard needs to do, and should do, is make all stats viable for all classes.

#

It is nuts that critical strike is practically undesirable as a stat to stack for the class with baked-in Seal Fate, which benefits from crits

#

Furthermore, it's crazy that haste is such a "wasted stat" for assassination due to the way multi-dotting and energy regeneration works for the spec

#

Stats not being well-balanced just limit the creativity and variety that people are able to succeed with

#

And I really think that's extremely poor design

#

I do understand that part of this is because they're trying to balance the numbers around PVE, but that to me seems like a mistake.

#

Imagine if Haste for assassination rogues actually had a big impact on your energy regeneration. It would potentially allow people to use Mutilate in a viable way rather than everyone being forced to spam Fan of Knives

#

Example: imagine if Venomous Wounds was a choice node, and the 2nd option was something like, "Using Mutilate gives you Assassin's Vigor, which increases the energy regen component of your haste-rating by 200% for 15 seconds" or something

tribal badger
#

wouldnt that just be the same gameplay but for some reason you stack haste instead of mastery

#

its not like either stat changes your playstyle

halcyon timber
#

I see what you mean but that’s why multi dotting multi targets gives assass 7per for 14 no? More targets dotted say in shuffle is yielding a good bit no? During death mark they don’t gain double the effect as well since bleeds are duplicated? (Genuinely asking not challenging as i have zero clue)

waxen meteor
#

By the way haste overall is just bad for rogue

#

All other classes with 1.5 sec global cd benefits from hastes for gcd

#

But we don’t PogO

steel scarab
#

Right, but it would just allow people to try something else with different gear. Also, stacking haste + more energy regen = mutilate would probably be a viable builder since you'd be able to stay above 50% energy

#

Thanks Tarny!

#

Just miraculously went 4-2 in a lobby with a Warrior, a DH, and an Outlaw Rogue lol

#

By the grace of God

tribal badger
#

another day another double dh lobby

#

i guess i cant complain it was 4 melee in a lobby so i went 5/1 as outlaw lul

#

still just such an annoying class

#

legit getting peeled whole game by 50 2second piss CCs

#

anytime i wanna kick a clone

#

i just realized i never crafted a second embellishment for pvp on my rogue

#

whole season

#

idk if i even want to

#

id need to drop a bunch of vers to make any crafted pieces now

jolly sierra
#

i used 424 infurious boots

#

never noticed it

tribal badger
#

🫡

#

yea all these embils seem cringe idk

#

im using the agi proc boots

#

but id need to replace a heavy vers piece to make another embellishment and they all seem bad

jolly sierra
#

what bout verdant conduit?

tribal badger
#

that was the one i was considering but the effect looks so minor i doubt its actually noticable and id need to replace a 1.4k or 1.1k vers ring with a 800 vers ring to wear it

#

not lookin to drop under 50% vers

jolly sierra
#

think about the uptime

#

but ye, its tough to chose as outlaw a embellishment tho

tribal badger
#

yea crafting mastery embel that probably has 50% uptime due to melee cleave on a mastery helm

#

seems troll af to me

#

sub gear fr

#

im rockin engi helm for 1.1k vers rn

Hi, I'm playing rogue assassination, do you have any advice on what spells to play like at the start of combat, like sorting them in order of usefulness

#

I'm playing on version 4.3.4

willow valley
#

heya

#

what are y'all playing with sub?

#

with which build?

limber kelp
#

I play assassin and I would like to know what genre to use to make combos, it's been so long since I played rogue

jolly sierra
#

we dont remember cataclysm too much

limber kelp
#

Damn :/ I'm resuming the game and I would like to review my previous level to be able to come back stronger on the Official Server ^^

jolly sierra
#

game difers way too much for rogs after 2 huge reworks

limber kelp
#

oh yes ?

jolly sierra
#

u had one in legion and one in dragonflight

#

so doesnt matter too much

limber kelp
#

Personally, I no longer have the rogue mechanics, like combos, nothing, I've been away from games for over 6 years lol

jolly sierra
#

watch shadenox in youtube

#

to start playing rog

limber kelp
#

thanks 🙂

willow valley
#

is my build for sub okay?

#

i dont want to play ST if its not necesary

halcyon timber
# willow valley

Its fine but secret is pretty needed especially after eviscerate being tuned down a lot several times and a lot of classes having multiple defensive cds to use.

willow valley
halcyon timber
#

Depends on what you want to trade for it. Im a gloom blade boy all day and Im not trading that for jack.

halcyon timber
#

Different stats help diff builds as well. Finality is still good but may need another button for extra punch.

#

Sepsis and the others do relatively the same damage but in diff ways which is cool. Flagellation is good , just difficult to pull off since people look for it so you have to be sneaky.

#

Shadow focus or weapon master (up to you) or planned execution “could” be traded for secret technique.

halcyon timber
# limber kelp I'm playing on version 4.3.4

Cataclysm was some nice times for sure. Lots of things have changed since then. Welcome back man. DF is pretty cool, lots of inspiration from the old days went into this ( a lotta fun bc of that)

Affliction can have the benefit of people not understanding how it works because so few play it, and that only gets magnified the further down the ladder of solo shuffle that you go

Yup

#

Can someone explain to me why outlaw rogue don’t take the “Dirty trick” talent?

jolly sierra
tribal badger
#

outlaw does not generally ever run into issues with having the energy to cc

#

just the downtime of getting to the target and back to land a gouge/kidney usually is more then the time it takes to recoup the energy you spent

gleaming pawn
#

Cheap shot is too expensive though, and always has been. There’s also generally just better ROI talents to pick up

#

*than Dirty Tricks

tribal badger
#

i dont think ive ever had to cc a target and not had the energy to do so as law so even if u could afford it u probably wouldnt

#

all ur ccs r cheaper then ur builders or spenders

#

and u just have a ton of energy as law

willow valley
#

ye

willow valley
#

how can i get these?

surreal barn
#

NA has 17 assa rogues over 2400 lol (solo shuffle)

#

Das it

gleaming pawn
willow valley
#

theres a cap for that shit?

gleaming pawn
#

Yes but unless you’ve been crafting a bunch, you probably shouldn’t be at the cap

#

How many things have you crafted

willow valley
#

honestly, i have no idea

#

maybe... 6?

gleaming pawn
#

You’re around the cap then, I can’t remember the exact number off the top of my head but yeah since they have been every 2 weeks, we haven’t been able to craft a ton

willow valley
#

cuz im not getting shit when i win a bg

#

or weekly quests

gleaming pawn
#

If you’ve capped on the splinters, then you won’t get another one until reset

willow valley
#

when is reset?

gleaming pawn
#

This week is an odd week, you won’t get another to make a whole one until Tuesday/Wednesday

willow valley
#

😭

gleaming pawn
#

NA reset is Tuesday, EU reset is Wednesday

willow valley
#

also, what is better for rbg

#

sub or outlaw?

#

and is outlaw viable for rbg?

gleaming pawn
#

Sub is probably better, because Outlaw isn’t a great 1v1 spec. Rogue’s job in RBGs is generally trying to ninja bases and rarely gets involved in team fights

willow valley
gleaming pawn
#

Arenas are not RBGs, and function totally differently. You also have a healer in arena and won’t when trying to steal a base

willow valley
#

but yeah, ur right, a healer makes the difference

#

but i dont feel that outlaw isnt great for 1v1 either

#

obviously for 1v1 sub is better

#

but idk

steel scarab
#

Assassination and subtlety are both great for battlegrounds

#

Outlaw is only good if a healer is following you around, and even then, there are better specs for a pocket healer to follow in a BG

willow valley
#

ur right

#

for BG i will play sub

#

i started playing it yesterday after 2 weeks without touching it

#

and i had a lot of fun haha

#

but i think i will keep pushing arenas with outlaw

#

or maybe i start playing sub for arenas

#

i dont knowww pepechortle

worthy crag
#

so is today a good time to check in for upcoming pvp changes? since the tourney is over

tribal badger

they usually drop changes on fridays honestly but it could be literally anytime

surreal barn
#

Who won

surreal barn
#

Is it just me or does evasion not feel strong at all anymore lol

#

Feel like everything goes right through it

tribal badger
#

Gotta make sure ur always facing the enemy

#

But its a bit annoying vs dh cause they just have stuns that go through it

jolly sierra
#

im using it even w casters

#

for elusiveness

halcyon timber
#

Yep, use it when im about to be feared 3x and whooped on from demon crap

jolly sierra
#

yep

#

good tact indeed

#

but look

willow valley
#

i use a macro to use evasion and feint at the same time, and i have that talent

#

and i have no problem with evasion, it works great as usual

jolly sierra
#

to dont make it useless against casters

willow valley
#

to have both buffs at the same time

halcyon timber
#

It doesn’t stack though man, just feint stuff. Lowest cost to highest in situations always unless you’re really getting jacked up.

narrow tangle
north rain
halcyon timber
#

Or some mage just polys them and swaps

narrow tangle
#

feint has very specfic usage and uses global cd so its not good idea

#

even if you run elusiveness i suggest seperating evasion and feint

north rain
#

its fine if u have a macro for them separately however

#

i mean

#

bind them as their own ability

#

then if u wanna make that macro sure

for real, howd assass become garbage seemingly overnight

tribal badger

well it wasnt overnight it got nerfed like 3? 4 times? in pvp/pve combined

halcyon timber
#

Thanks to a hunter constantly griping about assassination who was hijacking the rogue forums and some people were sandbagging in pve as well no?

tribal badger
#

reverse sandbagging

#

spec was tuned very favorably and also the best PI target in the game which further inflated it

halcyon timber
#

Well cinnamon toast shits

#

Curious as to premonition addressing that indirectly or directly

after a lot of fucking years i got this

#

how beautiful

#

done, will use it in arena when im not a rog tho

tribal badger
#

hugee

willow valley
#

i read all the messages and its true, in fact i started using evasion alone

#

the thing is that i barely use feint

#

so maybe thats what i have to improve

Yes

so i dont think on pressing the keybind to use it

#

but what i will do is play some bgs and only use feint

Did you know it work on fire breath dot and initial

waxen meteor
waxen meteor
#

i mean i think it's still a great skill but it just doesn't work against so many specs nowadays in wow

like evasion against ourself doesn't really work, step kidney or dance cs kills you easily in evasion

and lots of dmg from back including 1384038 pets sometimes

# willow valley im pretty bad with spell names

Evoker abilities, feint when talented into elusiveness affects all damage. Any time you’re about to take damage just hit feint. Anticipate that instead of trying to feint at 50% with a DH trying to dunk you like space jam.

tribal badger
#

feint also works on Fire breath dot and initial damage as both are classified as aoe (without elusivness)

#

i think is what that person was saying

willow valley
#

oh ok

#

then i definetly need to press feint more frecuently

#

its true that its usefull against that kind of spells

#

but, idk why but for me it looks like feint works only against magic damage, and evasion against phisycal damage

waxen meteor
#

we have two charges of feitn now it becomes a quite important piece of our play

#

period out of kidney, it problaby really needs to be on

waxen meteor
#

it stays true even when we are at 100% hp

halcyon timber
#

Yeah with no set up or stuns or anything intelligent. Just plug in N64 controller and tap buttons.. its fine if they want hard charger classes to be a thing (clearly evident) but taxing rogues isn’t cool.
