#

i guess casters will take precog, others will take -15%

gleaming pawn
#

some will, sure

#

but the 15% reduced damage during all CC especially stuns is huge

waxen meteor
#

yeah it's huge

#

even some casters may go with that

gleaming pawn
#

that's almost a feint, at all times

umbral crest
#

I’m guessing anything prone to dying in stuns will go for that

gleaming pawn
#

now imagine we keep most of the trash trickster tree, and outlaw has 100% uptime on feint AND the 15% further reduction

waxen meteor
#

but precog is also big for casters

#

like for affli lock, yeah, getting hit 24/7 and high danger in stun

#

but one precog could means all dots on whole team

gleaming pawn
#

the stacking damage on snares is noob trap though

waxen meteor
#

it doesn't look appealing

#

but i mean even if it's good dmg

#

probably would still go for -15% during stun

gleaming pawn
#

there is no world where you would ever take it over the reduced damage taken in CC

waxen meteor
#

OMEGAKEKW unless they nerf kidney and all stun one more time to 4 seconds

gleaming pawn
#

it would see it's most potent use against a rogue

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

it's a mandatory choice in duel

gleaming pawn
#

and you're trolling if you took that instead of the stun damage reduction

waxen meteor
#

precog just better in 3s probably

#

2 melee + shammy against affli without precog OMEGAKEKW

umbral crest
waxen meteor
#

depends on intreuption amount/range in other team and how many schools you have

#

some casters don't really care

#

they cast different schools

umbral crest
#

Might not be too easy to swap them early season depending on

#

The gem itself might be time gated, if not the socket probably will be?

gleaming pawn
#

socket probably is

umbral crest
#

Unless they go back to sockets on head

gleaming pawn
#

the gem will likely be ~700 conq

waxen meteor
#

anyway it's 11.0

umbral crest
#

Meta gems or whatever

waxen meteor
#

when it comes

#

might have been nerfed to ground

#

15% becomes 5%

umbral crest
#

5% damage reduction for 3 seconds

waxen meteor
#

or becomes 25% if sub is good

umbral crest
#

45 sec CD

waxen meteor
#

OMEGAKEKW if 25% with 45 sec cd, basically means our first go becoomes fake go?

umbral crest
#

First go is just cross-cc stun and get the hell out for go 2

#

No need to actually hit them

waxen meteor
#

sap counts too

#

just sap all three and be gone

umbral crest
#

I’m going to bet that you’re gonna need to be in combat if they add a CD

gleaming pawn
#

that's why it would not have such a long cd

umbral crest
#

Unless it’s like evokers using their shroud out the gates

gleaming pawn
#

mass entangle, mass poly, frost nova, dragon root, dragon stun

umbral crest
#

And getting sapped x4

gleaming pawn
#

tons of aoe CC that would trigger such a CD

waxen meteor
#

DAMN, almost 1on3 in a skirmish

#

i should have waited cd after killing 2

harsh steppe
#

do i need to worry about keeping slice & dice up still? or is that up on it's own mostly

waxen meteor
#

good to have, okay to miss a bit while

Hello! just started assassination rogue hoping to play it for season 4. I was wondering if there's a general guideline on when to use fan of knives vs mutilate for cp builders in solo shuffle. is it mutilate if there's only 1 target within my range and if there's 2 or more, I use FoK?

fallen scaffold
#

only use fan. mut sux big dik

pearl pasture
#

oh damn so fan all the time (except poly/blind and stuff)?

fallen scaffold
#

yep

pearl pasture
#

that simplifies things haha thank you very much

fallen scaffold
#

unless u play the shitty bone spike / doomblade build

pearl pasture
#

indiscrimiate carnage and the crimson tempest build is the one I kinda copied over

fallen scaffold
#

ya 100% fok

pearl pasture
#

perfect, thank you very much 😄

#

15min shuffle ques

#

probably gets better above 1.8-1.9

#

but this sucks

#

im getting bored

jolly sierra
#

i played all fkn day w lock

#

the rumours were true

#

weekends are easy af

#

for pvp

sick wasp
#

ofc its the best days to que

#

and friday night

#

lots of ppl n stuff

jolly sierra
#

friday actually was my worst day w lock

#

dropped like 200 CR

#

saturday however

sick wasp
#

on my mage ild go like an elevator

#

each day

jolly sierra
#

im bad af as lock BTW

sick wasp
#

2-2.1=>1.7

jolly sierra
#

that can be a thing too

sick wasp
#

its the lobbies

jolly sierra
#

its the only caster i actually tolerate

sick wasp
#

like what can u do if u que into 2 shammies 2 hunters 1 dh

jolly sierra
#

in my last one had 2 DHs and a sp

sick wasp
#

dhs must be the most dog class

#

for pvp

#

legit garbage

#

everytime i see them dash behind pillars i press everything and they die

#

brainlet class

#

anyway

#

i think hpally might be cool next season

#

but its boring

#

up until now mage never let me down,its fun and all,love it

#

hunter is cool

#

im gonna try DK as well some time

#

and monk ofc

#

that mount is mine

#

period

jolly sierra
#

dhs are the most dumb class overall

#

yeah

#

dunno how tf ppl doesnt feel filthy after using one

#

specially mains

pine badge
#

i hate dh

#

0% of my brain wants to play it

still abyss
#

so what's the best way to dump all this useless conquest before season ends?

jolly sierra
#

conquest boxes

#

u need 1k4 as min to unlock them in sale from vendor

sick wasp
#

im sharding them for next season

still abyss
sick wasp
#

gonna make some early gold from enchanting

sick wasp
#

there are choices

still abyss
#

affirmative

#

Sigh, I can't quite push rival this season. Been high 1770s multiple times and then get some comp where I get punished as main target

#

Really wanted to do it as outlaw, maybe the problem. The thing is, I rarely see any rogues vs atm

#

Using these talents for fights with a stun in it, switching to if caster heavy... would this seem sensible? I feel like I miss smokebomb

untold remnant
# lavish idol Using these talents for fights with a stun in it, switching to if caster heavy.....

I suggest to take Enduring Brawler baseline, personally I take Take your Cut baseline too.

Then I play disarm where it is a boon to have: other rogue, warrior, ret, MM hunt

I take the stun buff talent where there is lot of stun and I don’t need disarm

I take either smoke bomb or boarding party vs ranger.

Currently 2200 in shuffle on Outlaw and 2060 in 3s

So not the best player in the world

lavish idol
#

@untold remnant do you often find you're bottom of dmg meter

#

This appear to be my problem

#

Good tips though, thanks. Take your cut is nice indeed

untold remnant
#

Very match to match dependent. Sometimes I’m blasting with blade flurry cleave and I do 115k dps and top the meter. Other times I’m more focused on control and short burst.

Good thing about outlaw is that you can do both and live pretty well

lavish idol
#

I just had a game with 4 melee, ass rog, fury warr, ench shaman. It was crazy, and at first I thought ok will do some good dmg with bf. It was okay, but the others all outdid me. I was trying to get a nice gouge blind stun on heal so maybe explains the fall of output, but didn't even up well for me with 2 wins only 😦

harsh steppe
#

what are the top skills I need to constantly be aware of as sub? i have a really smol brain... so i need like 6 skills close to the center of my screen, more than that my brain explodes lol
everything else i can use weakauras for and put at the bottom, but trying to figure out what 6 i need to leave in the middle
gm all ❤️

untold remnant
sick wasp
#

using WA packs isnt something critically needed for pvp

#

omnibar is a cool thing to have

harsh steppe
#

ok ty
yes i got to get my addons again

#

what are the most important addons I have to have? i want as least as possible

sick wasp
#

target of target is also good coz u pretty much know what ppl target at any given situation,easier to predict stuff that way

harsh steppe
#

ok ty
target of focus good too right?

sick wasp
#

target of target encopses all

#

focus target is still a target,so u see what ur focus target targets

lavish idol
#

fuck me 6 straight losses, I want to cry

#

I feel like outlaw doesn't last too long if you have a heavy melee and caster on you

harsh steppe
#

you got this keep going ❤️

sick wasp
#

i solo highend geared hpalies on my mage

lavish idol
#

I'm so emotional now your well wishes actually helped haha

sick wasp
#

outlaws isnt rly a problem

lavish idol
#

Yeah any match I am trying to convince them to tunnel the caster

sick wasp
#

Its not about tunnel anything

#

its about constant swapping for those gouges and kses

#

and kill when uve got the opportunity

lavish idol
#

I do this too, but I think this is where the dps loss is

sick wasp
#

ofc tis a dps loss

lavish idol
#

using DR addon only too

sick wasp
#

outlaw isnt rly ideal in doing dmg in arena anyway

#

compared to sin or sub that is

lavish idol
#

Honestly in the last ... month? or so, I think I saw 1 sub rogure

sick wasp
#

outlaw excels in controlling and brawling

lavish idol
#

and about 10 or so assass

#

0 outlaw

sick wasp
#

outlaw is very strong in coordinated groups

#

like yday all rank 1 rogues streamed outlaw rmps

harsh steppe
#

wow rly

sick wasp
#

3.1+

#

yeah

#

ive fallen asleep watching twitch yday

lavish idol
#

Yeah I think if I was better, and climbed, it might actually be easier and other classes know how to play with me

#

at the moment it's a rat race

sick wasp
#

pretty much

#

in lower ratings and especially in shuffles no one rly cares to utilize a team comp

#

they just go in do as muchd mg as they can and kill before die

#

barely qualifies as rated pvp

umbral crest
#

I see mostly outlaw and assassination, you rarely ever see the spec you play yourself though

lavish idol
#

I prefer solo because I'`m done with the toixity of RBG (even though I actually enjoy them)

umbral crest
#

Outlaw basically just spams cc on everything it feels like, makes it difficult to play a caster/MM, in my experience

sick wasp
#

yup

#

outlaw is pain to handle

#

so much disrupt

umbral crest
#

Outlaw and DK lobbies are definitely chaotic at lower ratings, warriors too sometimes

lavish idol
#

Yea, I think the main reason for the loss is on average even if you're doing all the good cc and trying to control the fight, you're dependent on the other guy to do the dmg when needed and you need to align that damage too

sick wasp
#

has grapple+step+bladerush so it can gapclose at anygiven time

#

so cringe

lavish idol
#

I think another thing I do too much is blow it all at the start and get cc'd to hell

#

Maybe I need to hold off a bit and get all the insta fears and stuns out of the way then blow up

umbral crest
#

I see outlaws continually pumping damage and disrupting the main target and then using cc on the other DPS when they’re close enough, I don’t see outlaws go for cc on the healer etc as often as the other specs

#

but that's just what I've seen

sick wasp
#

u shouldnt hold alot unless u are into specific tactics

#

u need to apply pressure

#

full send

lavish idol
#

I think because if you do go out to get the heal they often have a cc for you too

sick wasp
#

if u are forced to trinekt before them u ar epretty much dead

umbral crest
#

play like a warrior 😛

sick wasp
#

thats not a problem,thats a healer issue if u dont get dispelled

#

outlaw is pretty much a better version of fury

#

imagine holding evasion and clos as outlaw

#

thats criminal

umbral crest
#

Fury has ridiculous damage though, seen some do 120k dps (2 targets) in shuffles lasting 2-3 min

sick wasp
#

thats not even alot^^

umbral crest
#

Might be more then

sick wasp
#

there are classes that can do 150k+ in a 2min game

umbral crest
#

I might be forgetting the numbers but the fury did the same as the other three, had it happen a lot recently

sick wasp
#

but ye fury ofc does more dmg

umbral crest
#

This is like 1700 on an alt healer though

lavish idol
#

All I really want is to complete the set for rival 😛 but this season ran out of time

#

If I understood it, I could get it s4

sick wasp
#

u can do rival pretty fast if u get like 4-5 good lobbies

lavish idol
#

Was 1775 or so this morning and was ready, thought it was my time. 1-5 losses, nearly cried

#

I feel like rogue is hard time to climb out of that 1650-1700 mess

sick wasp
#

dotn get intimitated brother

umbral crest
#

S4 is the same set supposedly so should be fine

sick wasp
#

its pvp,it happens

umbral crest
#

You can just play for now without the pressure since you’ve got another chance

lavish idol
#

true

sick wasp
#

do like a thousand shuffles if u can

#

or more before season ends

#

next season u will be flying

harsh steppe
#

which one do i want

umbral crest
#

Gladiusex or sArena are the common ones afaik

harsh steppe
#

tyty

sick wasp
#

whatever works,it doesnt matter which is the most poppular

#

just make sure to track diminishing returns CD(thats an embodied gladius feature,press /gladius and activate it)

#

and learn what stuff shares dr to what

harsh steppe
#

omnibar or nameplatecooldowns?

sick wasp
#

whatever u find more comfortable

#

at this point its like giving us ur rogue to play with

#

omnibar is on the bottom center of your screen

#

nameplates requires platter

harsh steppe
#

jw what yall prefer

sick wasp
#

which heavies ur UI

#

and limits ur vision

#

its mostly a caster/healer thing

harsh steppe
#

ah ok tyty

sick wasp
#

only last advice i could give u is not overloading ur UI with stupid sht

#

keep it clean

harsh steppe
#

do i need diminish? says discontinued
but i can see DRs with gladius right

#

yes def i want as few as possible

sick wasp
#

u just need 1 source of information which u can rely on

#

to track DRs

#

its simple

#

dont use 10 addon and gladius to track drs

#

its stupid and of no use

#

if u use gladius stick with gladius

harsh steppe
#

ok sweet tysm

#

ok so i have: bigdebuffs, gladiusex, omnicd, omnibar, & omnicc
do i need all 3 of those omni ones with the others?

#

also what are the most important WA packs to have? i see mes WAs mentioned a lot, anything else?

umbral crest
#

There's a WA telling you when your healer is in CC, that's pretty useful'

sick wasp
#

omnicc is the cooldown counter to all skills omnicd is self explanatory

#

you see all cds

#

omnibar something like omnicd just a bit more chaotic

#

u dont rly need alot,keep it simple

#

gladius literally provides u with all the information u need

#

wa's,sound indications are all garbage

#

go in,que and train

#

there will be 10 diff ppl say what they find its useful for any given situation in arena

#

u dont need 90% of those

umbral crest
#

I'd say WA is nice since you can customise it yourself, haven't got much on rogue but it can be nice to track buffs etc with no other UI indicators

harsh steppe
#

ty all so much for your help ❤️
r1 soonTM

sick wasp
#

dont overthink or try accumulate stuff quickly

#

go slow but learn

#

its a process

#

keep it simple,u will learn more through simplicity

wintry dew
#

i mean i can't be sure if it get normal appearence right away of if you need to upgrade the item a few times (pve ilvl) till you reach normal threshold

#

Or just get a veteran piece of gear, catalyst it and upgrade it to 5/8

last jasper
#

u sure? Cuz I recall getting just glad version of it

wintry dew
#

From warmode pvp items?

last jasper
#

yea, for bloody tokens, right?

wintry dew
#

yeah, those dont give PvP appearences

last jasper
#

with weekly strafe or whatever it called

wintry dew
#

yeah

#

Im 99% sure you can just use a warmode upgraded item to get both LFR and normal appearances

last jasper

hmm.. it gaved me pvp conq appearence instead :\

#

at least it was like that a few months ago

wintry dew
#

It was never like that

#

I've been abusing the system to complete all the rogue sets

last jasper

okay, so bloody pieace with strafe should end up with normal, right?

#

I got the LFR ones by no mythic and some heroic

last jasper

Just curious how did u got mythic?

wintry dew
#

heroic raiding / m+

#

Heroic drops Hero gear, and when you upgrade it to 480, you get the mythic appearance

#

same with mythic +16

last jasper
#

Cool

#

They actually did a great job this expansion

wintry dew
#

Yeah it was COOKED for tmog farmers like myself

#

Oh Egoist idk if you know already but

#

When Warbands get released later in s4 / prepatch (?), you'll be able to learn the appearance of ANY item (Specific class tiers are one of the exceptions) once you loot it with any character

#

Example: Looting the tusks of mannoroth on your rogue, and your warrior being able to use the tmog

last jasper
#

Yea, I know that. Not that I’m a big tmog farmer. But this is great feature

wintry dew
#

Yeah but lets say you NEED to farm a dungeon or something for a weapon. Atleast 100% of the time you're spending doing that is being rewarded for future alts

feelscryman seems no one I ask wants to talk about rogues

Writting in english is pretty easy

#

Now speaking? oof.

#

I can but the further the conversation goes, the more i lack the vocabulary to keep it clean

harsh steppe
#

habla espanol Mage?

jolly sierra
#

si

jolly sierra
#

specially if ppl are non natives like us lol

harsh steppe
#

muy bien
necissito practico mi espanol para las chicas calientes

I'm fine in understanding english since everything i watch in youtube is in english, and all the podcast i hear aswell

#

LOL HYPER

jolly sierra

LOL

#

WHAT THE HECK

#

XDDD

umbral crest
#

The only Spanish sentences I can form are not very nice... my roommate in Taiwan taught me 😂

wintry dew
#

Puta madre goes with everything

#

its like "fuck"

jolly sierra
#

he said "UN FORASTERO AVISAD A LOS DEMÁS"

#

or "EEEEEEE ACÁAAAAA"

umbral crest
#

It's just a nice way to greet strangers in spanish, hola mi(s) maricón(es?)/maricóna(s?)

#

I used it every time I met a spanish speaker who wasn't a nun/priest

jolly sierra
#

"hola conchetumare"

wintry dew
#

Its a nice and respectful way to say hello

OH HOW I FEEL YOU MATE

I just got done making minor tweaks to the WA packs I built for Rogue and Paladin, and completely overhauling my Plater profile

How often does assa throw knives in arena

double dagger for Sub

i dont use it in fullscreen

just in window

as long as it works for you, more power to you 🙂

jolly sierra

yeah yeah i know my fkn UI is a meme

#

here

#

but for me it works

#

lol

harsh steppe
#

i like it, it's like, "organized chaos"

jolly sierra
#

exactly as i was described by my classmates in university

last jasper
#

But I can’t resist 😂

jolly sierra
#

HUH

wintry dew
harsh steppe
#

yah just trying to figure out what to get before season starts, so maybe just a dagger and chest piece? i have total trash gear atm

wintry dew
#

Tbf just farm honor and dont think about it too much

last jasper
#

U are going to replace all ur gear week later with honor

#

Don’t bother

harsh steppe
#

is conq uncapped atm?

wintry dew
#

around 12k so when season starts you get yourself with full gear honor and queu shuffle

wintry dew
harsh steppe
#

ok ty i'll just try to hone in on my rotation & not worry about it

last jasper
#

Plus as royal said. Oh is just a stat stick.

vocal surge
#

Looks like we're gonna have to go with Option 1

#

2267 damage is pretty low if our health bars are already reaching +900k

#

Even if we're snared for 10 seconds

#

thats 22670 damage, pretty mid

jolly sierra
#

that is the equivalent to the embellishment

#

from early s2

#

awful af

vocal surge
#

Its a worse version of the embellishment

#

actually

jolly sierra
#

damn im surprised they decided to worse something was already bad

vocal surge
#

15% Damage Reduction goes a long way because of how much uptime you'll get with it

#

Certain comps become alot more bearable with that 15% damage reduction WHEEZE

#

Imagine getting CC chained by a lock w. that 15% DR

#

w. 20% from Feint

#

20% from Evasion

#
  • ~41% - 52% Vers (20.5% - 26% DR)
halcyon timber
#

5% pistol talent and 5% fazed too

#

5% deadened nerves as well (melee)

vocal surge
#

Is it increased in PvP?

#

I thought it was 2%

jolly sierra
#

prefeint w that would be funny af

halcyon timber
#

DN? Yeh was when they reworked it to exchange for thieves going to outlaw

#

I mean feral will retain 80% armor when they shift from bear and other goodies /shrug

jolly sierra
#

if u guys were assa u wouldnt care about armor

#

lol

halcyon timber
#

Im a one way street primo

jolly sierra
#

same

halcyon timber
#

Regardless of what happens

vocal surge
#

w. 15% DR from that gem

#

we take ~40.6% damage

#

physical

halcyon timber
#

15% gem prob isn’t going to get an ICD and it will prob be their way of discouraging “micro cc”

vocal surge
#

if we got Evasion + Feint + Pistol talent + Deadened Nerves

#

no Vers accounted for yet

halcyon timber
#

Feint will likely get nerfed or versatility defensive heavily DRd further to accommodate

vocal surge
#

~31.5% Damage taken w. 45% vers

jolly sierra
#

meh i would micro cc anyways

#

15% can help sure

#

but u can still do good dmg in a burst w that

vocal surge
#

Yee

#

It counters RMP and classes that like to CC its primary kill target

jolly sierra
#

like a rupture tick

halcyon timber
#

Agreed but it can be an experiment they didn’t announce /shrug

#

Intentionally

jolly sierra
#

it would reduce 30k dmg to 25.5k dmg

#

the tick

#

in just the gem

vocal surge
#

That's still pretty big

#

it adds up

jolly sierra
#

yep

halcyon timber
#

Kinda a big deal not including other stuff and healing going on

jolly sierra
#

i would take the gem as a complement

#

rather than something to depend

#

complement for our defensives

vocal surge
#

Yea

#

I think in general

#

everyone is gonna pick that gem

halcyon timber
#

Hero talents are also going to be tuned down naturally as well so /shrug

#

Agreed, its solid

vocal surge
#

The casters will play between 2 gems

#

depending if it synergizes or compliments their build

jolly sierra
#

we dont know the other rog hero talents yet

#

the ones related to assa

halcyon timber
#

Warlock gained more dark pact in one of those trees too yeah?

#

Shaman hydro bubble is interesting too.

vocal surge
#

It'd be interesting to see if Assa and Outlaw had their shared hero talent be all about amplifying their abilities

jolly sierra
#

we can check that w ret tho

halcyon timber
#

Fatebound should be pretty dang cool honestly

jolly sierra
#

they already have 2 hero talents revealed

vocal surge
#

Yea

halcyon timber
#

Its just us, priest, shaman and dh left i think

#

Bfa flame being back for paladins is nuts

#

300% SP on hit

vocal surge
#

skirms or rated?

halcyon timber
#

Wasn’t there a guy who did that this season who really made it work?

#

Mass bombardment from evoker or whatever its called will be crazy too

#

The gem might just need there to even out a lot of stuff like that too ig

#

We dunno enchants yet for weapons

jolly sierra
#

if is some main stat related then that is the one to go for

#

as always

halcyon timber
#

Yep

#

Shall see

jolly sierra
#

tf are u doing in reddit @harsh steppe? lol

halcyon timber
#

Reddit is like going to chuck e cheese expecting a good pizza

safe cloak
#

can someone help me with this math problem?

#

thought I was supposed to gain 51 elo, not 27. This is my very first season, so I dont know if the calculations are different. might not get it

umbral crest
#

You gained 27 MMR and 51 rating, I think

#

MMR/MMV

safe cloak
#

it says rating

umbral crest
#

Yes, but 1560 is your starting MMV

#

matchmaking value

safe cloak
#

so its doesnt show your rating gains anymore? just your mmr? I thought that was usually hidden ( in most games)

umbral crest
#

Red is rating

#

Green is MMR/MMV

#

It's never been hidden in WoW afaik

#

It's separate like in most games

#

but MMR/MMV is visible in WoW unlike games like league

safe cloak
#

hmm ok. Isee

#

so rn my rating is the same as my MMV?

umbral crest
#

Seems so

safe cloak
#

hmm ok. been so long since I played so cant remember what I was at, might have been something like that. Dunno

umbral crest
#

Different each season anyways 🤷‍♂️

wintry dew
#

Dont trust people on reddit tho

#

I mean the same can be said about discord

harsh steppe
#

yeah fr i asked about the rotation & got a wacky response or two

wintry dew
#

I do spend my fair share of time on reddit, and boy sometimes people's answers scare me

harsh steppe
#

well usually i always just ask you guys first but sometimes if I'm realllllllly wanting to triple check i'll ask reddit

safe cloak
umbral crest
#

Yeah, the queue times in shuffle aren't great

safe cloak
#

Amen brother

umbral crest
#

I get something like 40-50% actually playing (counting all time spent in the arena), so I guess 2s or 3s would be better

#

My friend I do 2s with isn't on every day I am though, and our 2s comps make it harder to climb than shuffle 😂

safe cloak
#

yeah. 2s are instant pop. Dont know about 3s. might get my classic friend to play some pvp with me. just made him get Warwithin, he is a warrior though. Not best comp in pvp. rouge war

gleaming pawn
#

not best? that's down right awful

safe cloak
#

haha

#

im a glass half full typa guy

jolly sierra
#

i know then can fuck off the pact

#

but

#

OOF

gleaming pawn
#

warriors beat up anything in cloth

jolly sierra
#

god dammit

safe cloak
#

arent mages cloth?

gleaming pawn
#

yes, and if you let a warrior get on top of you, you're in for a hurtin

jolly sierra
#

tbh the hardest matchups w my lock are warrs

safe cloak
#

with a bajillion blinks I hope that doesnt happen

jolly sierra
#

i teleport the fucker is already there

#

tried to slow

#

bladestorm

#

pact

#

instabroken

#

try to CC, berserker rage

#

i do it later anyways

safe cloak
#

pretty decent mobility

jolly sierra
#

to cast real fears

#

even rogs are easy to play against

harsh steppe
#

how often do you guys use a) shuriken storm & b) shuriken toss?

jolly sierra
#

0 i play assa

umbral crest
#

Gotta play around the pillar a lot I guess

safe cloak
safe cloak
#

dont know about shuriken toss tbh 40 energy for 1 cp and very low dmg. I dont use it at all. Might be missing out, dont know. Just doesnt sound good

umbral crest
#

Sometimes for rogues/others with stealth, sometimes because 1 storm=full CP if there are pets

#

but that's just me

safe cloak
umbral crest
#

Damage is low though so I won't use it if I'm bursting either

umbral crest
#

Oh

#

Right

#

Didn't see that

safe cloak
#

all good 🙂

#

shuriken storm is very nice

umbral crest
#

I'll just use toss if I can't do anything else and I'm capped on energy, which is more often than I'd like against roots..

halcyon timber
#

Can also use distract to stop healers drinking their mana milk

safe cloak
#

need fast kidney. Just do shuriken for noice cp

umbral crest
#

Also nice if I'm trying to save PV stacks for whatever reason

#

That's rare though, I usually just ignore them..

halcyon timber
#

Pv is sick , nice to have a customizable fat hit

umbral crest
#

Yeah, I'm usually too distracted to keep track

#

but it is nice getting a fat GB or ER

halcyon timber
#

I make my own weak aura art so it is easy to track

umbral crest
#

I do too, but I still don't lmao

safe cloak
#

XD

halcyon timber
#

Haha rigut on

#

Yeah prefer to make that instead of goofy giant bar of buffs

safe cloak
#

thats wow. Just get a bajillion weakauras/addons, and dont look at em. I try to keep my screen clean and minimal. Only a few addons

halcyon timber
#

Just did an update to it as well but idnt use wa for anything else

#

Yeh just wa art, tmw for drs and elv for custom bars . Idc about anything else

umbral crest
#

I just have a few basic WAs like this for SnD, SD, SB, PV and then the finalities

#

middle thing is subterfuge, ignore the cow

safe cloak
#

so the cow is not a part of the WA?🧐

umbral crest
#

No, he's part of the Strongaura

harsh steppe
#

tyty

#

for the subs in here, what is your E and Q keys bound to?
yes i know it's pref obv but jw

umbral crest
#

I do backstab and shadowstrike to Q and E respectively

safe cloak
harsh steppe
#

where do y’all bind shuriken toss & storm?

umbral crest
#

mousebutton 2 for toss and shift mousebutton 3 for storm

safe cloak
#

Shift-mousebutton 5 for shuriken storm, and ctrl-mousebutton 4 for shuriken toss

harsh steppe
#

tysm

umbral crest
#

Honestly, with keybinds just create a system that makes sense to you, I've usually got defensives on T and shift T for instance

safe cloak
#

just find what makes you comfortable.

umbral crest
#

across classes

safe cloak
#

remember that there are pros in cs that move using left click, and all sorts of buttons, while having an inverted mouse. So there are no wrong keybinds (unless you cant reach them with your fingers ofc)

umbral crest
#

supposedly

#

A league pro crossed his arms playing because he was left handed until a teammate pointed out how he could just put the mouse on the left side of the keyboard

safe cloak
#

hahah

surreal barn
#

So what server time does season end tomorrow

halcyon timber
halcyon timber
umbral crest
#

Kinda want to see it later then, mine's very practicality minded, or ugly, depending on what you want to call it

halcyon timber
#

Its really in early stages as i dont have a lot of time to paint atm but for verbal visual acuity “thieves kit” is what im shooting for.

#

I hand painted my favorite daggers (i like simple stuff) and use them for symbols and blades and they use a simple animation to show when ready and when on cd etc. dance is in the center with a wip icon to show duration, phase in and out / desaturate when no charges etc. goremaws (fave cool ability has its own) and secret with its own stuff but eventually ill be painting hand drawn icons for those too with custom parts to show diff information. Perforated as well etc and shadow techniques stacks etc. a lot of work but visual representation catches my eye a lot more than normal bars. (Kinda like how ffxiv does their class bars) but im making my own thing. Just hard to make time for it with grad school and such

umbral crest
#

Sounds like a fairly lengthy process, couldn't imagine doing it myself but I'd very much like to see it later on ^^

halcyon timber
#

I appreciate it man, not really. Mostly having time to paint as the triggers are all set up. I like the RPG type interfaces and played a lot of shit like ff7 as a kid

#

Just playing with what ive got until i can chip away at the individual paintings but tyvm for the kind words and stuff

fringe juniper
#

Heyo is the Warlord title still achievable?

jolly sierra
#

yes

umbral crest
#

Maybe not this season though

fringe juniper
#

just too late lol

umbral crest
#

There's like two days left yeah

fringe juniper
#

oh wait

#

theres a difference in factions

#

alliance has fuckin Marshal

#

thats so lame compared to warlord

#

imo imo

jolly sierra
#

horde has champion too

fringe juniper
#

dang im about to faction swap

#

knight is the only maybe cool title

umbral crest
#

Any of the knight titles are kinda ok

#

Grand marshal if you also look like a banana

#

Others only if you RP or something I guess

jolly sierra
#

imo horde has better high ranked titles

#

and alliance better lower ones

fringe juniper
#

"Grunt"

#

just Lieutenant couldve been cool too

#

unless thats a title somewhere else already

#

must not be that easy then

#

geez

umbral crest
#

There are two of each, one being from RBGs and one from vanilla

#

you might be looking at the vanilla one

fringe juniper
#

this is the one I was checking out

jolly sierra
#

ye indeed is the newest one

#

but remember

#

pvp players are in like the ~%5 of total playerbase

#

look at duelists

#

1k8 rivals

#

2k rivals

#

at like 3 days away from end season

fringe juniper
#

oh thats interesting

umbral crest
#

Huh, the regular rival one is less common than I expected to be honest

#

So I guess less than 10% play arena

jolly sierra
#

those are overall

#

the ones w xp names are the least

umbral crest
#

The first two I linked are overall, last one is current season

jolly sierra
#

i know

#

its surprising how this drops by a lot with season passing

#

and how this pve achiv is so rare

umbral crest
#

To be fair, I'm fairly certain SL and BfA got higher number partially because BfA had a lower entry requirement when PvErs had better gear by default

#

and SL required some PvErs to grind for rival etc anyways

jolly sierra
#

yep

#

but the highest was SL s2 i recall

umbral crest
#

I know mages in particular "had" to grind arenas in SL, that 1 min cd trinket was pretty big for their burst

jolly sierra
#

shadowlands s2

#

oof

umbral crest
#

and SL s2 was fairly inflated

jolly sierra
#

yep

#

by far the rarest i have are those ones

umbral crest
#

It's telling me I haven't got rival 1 for DF S3

#

That's 1800, right?

jolly sierra
#

yep

umbral crest
#

Strange, I got 1800 on 3 classes the past few weeks

#

in shuffle which I assume counts

jolly sierra
#

maybe need to sync

#

w armory

umbral crest
#

Maybe, yeah

#

Oh yeah, last sync was months ago

jolly sierra
umbral crest
#

Yeah, I did

#

apparently rival this season is rarer than cutting edge in CN

#

Still doesn't beat my 2k in 5s apparently

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

playerbase

#

is the key there

umbral crest
#

Was 5s ever a big thing? I only ever played it once and we got 2k in one evening, I barely remember anything beyond standing behind a pillar mistweaving 😂

jolly sierra
#

seems like it did

umbral crest
#

We did face some r1 resto druid streamer once and they completely destroyed us

#

Can't remember which one it was

jolly sierra
#

but ppl was way more abundant before

#

i was a kid when 5s was a thing

#

XD

umbral crest
#

Same

#

I must have been 14 or so when I got that

waxen meteor
#

i never enjoyed 5s tbh

#

and it's easy carry mode when you have strong teammates

surreal barn
#

we did it boys

waxen meteor
surreal barn
waxen meteor
#

PepeFull i am surely not gonna play 4 chars s4

#

espcially added pve

#

i will do 2 in s4

surreal barn
#

i think... i will make an orc

#

for s4

waxen meteor
#

even 3 chars, the 3rd char will never step in dungeon AT ALL

umbral crest
#

Orc 🤢

waxen meteor
#

I actually don't want to play paladin s4

#

but i have got leggo

#

so...

umbral crest
#

I developed an intolerance towards the orcs following the orc meta

#

I would rather be GY-camped by a gnome than an orc

jolly sierra
#

gratz dude

#

u are from the bottom playerbase rn

#

almost no one reached 2k4

jolly sierra
waxen meteor
#

Gnomes looks aweful

#

Join me as necro

jolly sierra
#

hope next season

#

have more players

#

tbh this one for me was the hardest from late time

#

the amount of glads was disgusting

waxen meteor
#

s3 is much harder

#

but i also played a lot less

#

only played a lot this week

jolly sierra
#

u can complain less about having issues w ppl at ur same rating and similar xp

waxen meteor
#

it's not inferno level but much harder than i would have thought

jolly sierra
#

but meeting mglads in low rankings or r1 at 2k2+ is just a real problem

waxen meteor
#

Yeah hopefully more people join pvp at s4

#

since pve it was just a repeat

#

PepeFull pvp is also a repeat but at least they didn't try

surreal barn
#

It’s insane how op meld is

#

To keep the momentum going

umbral crest
#

Considering transferring my rogue to alliance for a guild, I feel like I have to be a night elf 😛

waxen meteor
waxen meteor
#

my horde/alliance chars are at same guild

umbral crest
#

Kinda, but some open world stuff as well as casual BGs aren't, so it makes some sense to be the same faction anyways

#

hence considering, I'll stay horde for now

jolly sierra
#

disable all racials

#

kek

#

so ppl play by tastes

umbral crest
#

Disable me

#

I hope people pick me for my taste and not my racials 👀

jolly sierra
#

damn

umbral crest
#

We're basically golddiggers or something at this point, choosing based on racials

jolly sierra
#

yep

#

except me

#

XD

umbral crest
#

I mean, I chose based on looks so I guess it's more like getting a trophy wife?

It's getting late and I'm making less and less sense 🙂

jolly sierra
#

chosing on looks is like playing without caring about what other ppl thinks about u

#

instead choosing to get better or optimal

umbral crest
#

To be fair, I think most people do so, except PvPers and hardcore PvErs

jolly sierra
#

yeah in method for example for wod ppl chose BE just to get like 1% more overall dmg

#

xd

#

w BE crit racial

umbral crest
#

I remember when everyone rolled troll for the Jaina fight

#

etc

#

Also, belf was meta in m+ for the AoE silence until they changed it

jolly sierra
#

ye

waxen meteor
#

be skill was good

#

silence + no gcd

#

in tbc/wlk i was able to open mage with stun + silence

#

it was huge

halcyon timber
#

Always been and always will be blood elf.

gleaming pawn
#

BE skill isn’t all that bad now. I’ve killed many a ret that bop’d low thinking they were safe

halcyon timber
#

Yeh or wiping other buffs can be nice like shields.

pliant mauve
#

Anyone have even an inkling about the play for season 4? Is Assa going to be performing at the same level it is or should I start anticipating a switch to sub or OL?

jolly sierra
#

nobody knows

#

until season start

jolly sierra
#

we got the enchants guys

#

sounds like we gonna use any of those ones

#

and the cursed ones (drop a stat and get a better one)

harsh steppe
#

so i have a side mouse button razer for extra buttons, & i'm trying to figure out how to start assigning keybinds for them
it's 12 buttons, so with modifiers, that's about 48 extra keybinds
do i just go through and do focus 1-12 stuff (kick, shadowstep to, etc.), then do arena1 stuff, then arena 2, and then arena 3?

last jasper
#

Lmao. After using naga for 4 years. I just realize I can use side buttons with shift/alt 😂

harsh steppe
#

lmao

#

what do you use them for? focus stuff?

last jasper
#

I only use 8 of them. I think I might reconsider my keybinds now 😂

pliant mauve
#

To the people who have been around since MoP or even BFA, was the Rival bracket polluted with glad alts like it is now at the end of those xpacks? I’ve been going through my arena logs and literally every match is full of people with crazy xp. I’m capping out at 1924 and I’m not upset since this is the second season I’ve “really” played. And yeah I know it doesn’t matter either way.

wintry dew
#

There are less people playing

#

The ones at that brackets are mostly people with exp grinding alts

pliant mauve
#

Yeah. That makes sense. Thanks. Just got absolutely flamed by multi glad holy pally in SS (he went 0/6) that made me question how I even know how to tie my shoes.

wintry dew
#

Also, rival now starts at 1800

pliant mauve
#

Was that not the case before?

wintry dew
#

No

pliant mauve
#

I thought rival was always 1800
