Living bomb may be as explosive as eating 4 gas station burritos and getting stuck in traffic then attempting to sprint in your house while playing the saw sound track Want to play a game??

All Fear, Silence, Sleep, Stun & Interrupt visual effects have been updated with a new visual. Additionally, all movement speed slowing effects greater than 50% will now display a universal Slow visual on the target.

Developers’ notes: Our main priority for this visual update is to help increase the clarity and consistency of messaging for common status effects. Slow (the status effect not the spell), for example has taken quite a few different visual forms over the years, mostly in the range of multicolored dust clouds around a target’s feet. As you can imagine this particular visual was difficult to notice from a distance and wasn’t easily recognizable. So, we did a pass on Slow and the other status effects listed to help address those clarity/messaging issues making them easier to quickly identify in combat.

@jolly sierra

#

Look this spanish boy

fading blade
#

ok cool but where rogue changes

jolly sierra
#

they watched my replays it seems

nova viper
#

No lol

jolly sierra
#

nah its fine

#

now lets see the generic icons for all dr categories

halcyon timber
#

part of that could be good as it would reduce memory being eaten up as well.

outer sky
#

Should we replace our honor gear with tier gear?

#

err

#

reverse that

#

should we replace our S3 tier gear wth S4 honor gear?

halcyon timber
#

Pretty big jump in hp and agility

#

Def would, gearing has been quick already as is which is solid

waxen meteor
#

I have a big question homies

#

Conquest = 522 in arena S4 right?

gleaming pawn
#

no, 528

waxen meteor
#

oh shoot

#

nvm

#

so some pve gear to 535 doesn't matter that much

gleaming pawn
#

plate with the lego axe will hurt, but otherwise not really

jolly sierra
#

lego axe is from the same ilvl than regular pvp wep, right?

#

it is capped to 528 or 535?

gleaming pawn
#

I would have assumed 535 because it's legendary

#

but no idea tbh

grave basin
#

Didnt play outlaw last sn, is the tier good ?

#

Feels like some classes like boomy just can't die

gleaming pawn
#

@jolly sierra we can actually trigger that ring with a shadowflame patch embelishment. So you don't have to craft the helm that procs fire damage

gleaming pawn
#

yeah

jolly sierra
#

hmmmmmm

safe turret
#

Actually wild how awful outlaw feels without tier, 4pc is how roll the bones should work baseline

stoic spruce
#

I wonder how that'll get addressed in TWW

#

I'd hate for this to be the only season where I dislike the iteration but had my favorite bonus

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

but if it does trigger

#

maybe can work

waxen meteor
#

i mean the ring dmg is that significant that worth another craft just to trigger it?

gleaming pawn
#

what else are you going to use, a secondary proc that will push you further into most of your DRs?

hallow tide
#

I don't know if I should be playing a poison or bleed build for PvP assassination, any opinions?

halcyon timber
#

Can confirm on alpha that the new cc vfx is a subtle white flash. Its noticeable enough to clearly distinguish as a good indicator

#

Dfa is buffed to 40% vs live too and the smoke bomb talent is slick

#

A few things aren’t proccing but that’s all WIP for fazed but it is noticeable on the uptime and can links together stuff nicely. I dig it a lot, its simple it has a clear picture, coup de grace will be able to be used when you want kinda decently . Surprising strikes is cool and brings up the floor and kinda feels like old hemo.

polar stone
#

Just watch pika's latest vid. The lengend is still playing the damn sub omg.

grave basin
#

@halcyon timber you have alpha access ?

halcyon timber
#

Yes sir

#

Feels kinda like old hemo with a lot of triggers and i dig that shit

#

Hopefully more of us pvpers get in so we can throw feedback in. I really dig it, the mastery buff stacks kinda nicely sorta like alacrity.

wowhead is bad af as reference for pvp

hallow tide
waxen meteor
#

He posted some intro pvp videos I know lots of people prefer to read

#

But his video worth watching

#

Take your time and it’s way better than reading dated info

#

In s1 when we used DTB at least poison does some dmg, so beginning of season lots picked poison talent, but during end of season it’s already dated

#

This season and s3 we do not take DTB, so your only poison is just wound poison which does very low dmg anyway

#

Build around poison has zero sense

hallow tide
#

Got it got it

#

Thanks a bunch

#

I wrote all that to check tomorrow

#

Hopefully I’ll improve well enough to melt people

Well one of my Assa rogues is doing good ill hit 1600 tomorrow with maintaining around 2100 mmr which I started with currently 1278 cr the other rogue has had 2 devs an hpal and a ret or lobbies with 3 complete counters each time and its miserable

#

Hope all of you are having a good season so far

jolly sierra
#

its fine dude

#

tbh i dont overthink in this week

#

ive got a rog 3 times in a row (outlaw) w the reflexes of a stoner

#

the crazy fuck countered me at milisecond from afar

#

i was like REEEEEEEEEEEEE inside

#

but nothing to overthink tbh

jolly sierra

1k6 nice

#

now time to wait till week 2 to go

last jasper
#

Why?

#

Man Assassination feels awful with the green PvP gear

#

I must be doing something wrong but I am getting smashed and can't kill anything

jolly sierra
#

is funny af

jolly sierra
steel scarab
#

Maybe because I'm in lobbies with 2000 rated people

#

But I am getting smashed

#

I also tried some rounds with Dragon Tempered Blades

#

Don't do that folks

#

Guaranteed loss

jolly sierra
#

oh boi

#

if u are not with enough experience

#

NEVER

#

BUT NEVER

#

PLAY SS IN WEEK 1

#

ranks one are the ones there at that MMR

steel scarab
#

😔😔😔

#

I did not know that

#

No wonder I am getting destroyed lol

grave basin
#

That's why you go down to 1600mmr where first time queues are

#

@jolly sierra did you buy 2pc ? Or saving conq

jolly sierra
#

my partner said the same when i got 1k6

last jasper
jolly sierra
#

told him im more slow paced for stuff cuz rushing things like tier or conq buyouts besides the wep would just fuck everything in following weeks

grave basin
#

I think I'm going to chicken out too and hold

#

What about bloody token gear

jolly sierra
#

its the best dude

#

bought a belt

#

and maybe will buy pants

#

and turn them into tier

#

depending of vault

#

but imagine

#

i buy a chest

#

then next week

#

in vault

#

appears another one

#

bruh

potent pivot
#

bruh

grave basin
#

Just take the gem slot

jolly sierra
#

that is a good one too

#

but lets see

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

we have like 5 months of season tho

grave basin
#

If you get one tier next vault , then it's guaranteed 4 pc

jolly sierra
#

im assa

#

i just wanna 2 pieces

#

XD

#

depends of vault now

#

if it gets a chest, even generic, then i pick the chest, else pants

#

then i buy the other piece and get the 2set

grave basin
#

I just learnt today that RTB only gives 1/2/5 buffs and never 3 or 4

#

No wonder it feels like ass without the tier

last jasper
#

lmao, I have glad ele in a lobby. poor guy got zugzuged 3 rounds in a row

#

sub, outlaw and sin in 1 lobby

lucid citrus

you win those

last jasper

sin won 😄

exotic dove
steel scarab
#

When should I start playing then

#

Because

#

This shit is just awful

jolly sierra
#

week 2 or 3

#

go battleground blitz instead

#

so u cap it

steel scarab
#

Okay

jolly sierra
#

this is not a race

steel scarab
#

I'll do that

jolly sierra
#

eventually u play w similar ppl

exotic dove
#

Yeah I am playing shuffle cause I want to play against people that high so I can learn though its a great time to learn. I am even playing my hunters at 2k+ mmr as well

#

I feel that is the best way to gain experience yourself imo

jolly sierra
#

but week 1 is always plagued with very high experienced ppl

exotic dove
#

I also gamecapture the games though to see why I lost

jolly sierra
#

i felt enough with playing with mglads at 1k9 lobbies in former season

exotic dove
#

or even won

jolly sierra
#

i know can play better, but always liked the slow pace

#

so prefer to go calmly

exotic dove
#

That is fine as well 🙂 Eveyrone likes to play differently and there is nothing wrong with it

last jasper
#

In shuffle there is hard to learn. Cuz there is always another 5 who can fucked up

exotic dove
#

How quick can you cap vault with Blitz is it as much as winning rbgs? Might just send all the alts through that if its the case

harsh steppe
#

what offhand do i go with? gm all ❤️

last jasper

That have mastery on it

harsh steppe

those all have mastery on them

last jasper
#

yes, one from honor vendor the other is from bloody

#

pretty much those who took 525 are playing outlaw

#

I dont see any other reason why would u spent 7 strife for an OH first week into the season

oh ok so just wait a bit on offhand?

I just noticed the Outlaw tier set is nerfed in PvP. was it last season?

All tier is nerfed 50% in pvp

yo pals

#

which rogue spec can be equally viable and good both in pvp and pve?

last jasper
#

@jolly sierra this is so good its mental. just finished placement games
could've been higher. But in the last 3 matches had a guy who was going to 6-0. managed to spoil it and make it 5-1 😄

safe turret
#

tier uses s3 bonus but s2 stats? or is it a bug with the item sets tab?

last jasper

# surreal barn You secure R1??

no, in 3s my team fell apart like 3 weeks ago so I had 2810 maybe 3 weeks before the end when end ssn cutoff was 2900, so, q very sad one, and in shuffle I was 2886 which was really high on the overall ladder but then on tuesday I wake up and I see the night crew got 4 chars above 2890 past 6 AM (surely legitimate, right) so I don't think i'll get it

What are we looking at, broken Demon Hunter DMG?

waxen meteor

that 2.76 chart doesn't seem to say too much tbh

#

and it looks like that dh actually was using tier set

#

could be new season one or old season one

last jasper
#

Tier set doesn’t amplify their damage

waxen meteor
#

that's true

#

but honestly

#

there's zero change

#

from s3 to s4

Prob got lucky on that buff that boosts all their damage

yeah in first days of s3, i run into 3 people and killed all 3

in 2k+ lobby...

#

that had been quite broken

#

but that part was adjusted fairly quikcly

#

right now we are at same stage of end of season s3

last jasper
#

Not really. The main reason of that insane dam was adjusted after a second or third nerf

#

Not that all other stuff was balanced. But

jolly sierra
#

guys what would u consider for dinars in week 2?

gleaming pawn
#

Nothing unless you’re doing m+ keys for the crests to upgrade something all the way

#

Or raids for that matter, but raids are harder to just pug into

jolly sierra
#

ye i know

restive hemlock

Isn't there a vers mastery dagger from raid?

from igira, and u can get it till 528, i think that is a big deal

I fought a monk and got wrecked repeatedly

Just could not get that fucker off me

They were really long matches too but he just did way more damage than me and stuck to me like glue

Use Feint well against monk

that's half of your defensive already against monk

Then you can save a step for defend

when they use the big punch, just step to your healer

#

gm fam
which is the right way of typing target focus for macros? or are all these right? just different ways?

jolly sierra
#

just one conquest weapon in main hand

potent pivot
#

The shadowstep one I believe will clear your current target, shadowstep your focus target and make them your new regular target

#

You don’t usually see /cqs for melee (in my experience)

harsh steppe
#

ahh ok tysm
do you normally do the "[target=focus]" or [@focus]? and do I need the extra "[]" after the "[@focus]" ? ([@focus][])

gleaming pawn
#

@focus saves characters, and is better because it’s more elegant. But that’s me being a coder

potent pivot
#

I’m honestly not 100% sure I haven’t looked at my macros in ages

gleaming pawn
#

Otherwise they function the same

harsh steppe
#

tysm ❤️
i am a previous coder too so i was hoping you'd say that i could use the shorter one lol

gleaming pawn
#

[] means “when nothing else, just do X normally”

#

You would use it in a macro where you use a modifier key to change the behavior. Like casting blind at your focus. Using [] at the end tells it to just cast blind normally when you aren’t using a modifier key (at your current target)

harsh steppe
#

ohhhh yayy i don't use modifier macros at all so i can safely delete them then, tysm

#

what code did you used to write in? i liked C++ & python

gleaming pawn
#

Python and C# though my python days are long behind me

gleaming pawn
harsh steppe
#

yes a different button dw ❤️

surreal barn
jolly sierra
#

that shits should autointerrupt like lock drain spells

outer sky
#

What does "go do rogue things" mean in an RBG context right now? Since we cant blind or kidney cap anymore

fading blade
#

Well you can sap cap, but other than that probably still best to roll around with another stealth to cap, if not then just cheese/ win the duel for caps

long shore
#

What is best way to gear up now?

safe turret
#

from what starting point

#

usually just afk epic bgs or spam blitz, blitz scales your ilvl up and also caps your vault

woven jolt
#

A rogue can still solo kill a sitter, so they pressure is almost the same

#

even if we can't blind capo

#

On Flag maps, Rogue can wipe out a Dh's jumps, and cd's if you find them alone

#

You can also go the annoying route and kidnap their D Healer on their base or in the middle

#

and let your O team wipe out their tank

#

If you're commited to it, you can lock down someone on pure CC

#

If you're assigned the D rogue, your only target is their rogue

I've decided I need teammates who don't use CC

#

Frost trap, sheep, and similar are the bane of my existance in pvp

I just spent 10 seconds and a bone spike charge getting every dot on this person, and you trap them...

#

then I do it again and you trap them again

this is a gg

now I have no energy, no regen, no bone spike charges

yes, absolutely

100% ppl is playing without that rn

try reading murlok.io to see the talents ppl are picking rn

#

never

#

is a complement

wanton breach
#

crimson tempest gets a whole bunch of damage the more targets you hit with it, so all kinds of pets like from unholy dk, hunters, priests and such give you bonus damage on your primary target - and just hitting 2 players might be worth against a team you want to rot down with bleeds

hidden meadow
#

I do tend to find myself pressing kingsbane as the first global while in dance. That might be where I'm going wrong

surreal barn
#

If you know for a fact you aren’t going to be able to get off crimson tempest it’s worth a try

i saw the top sub atm is using sepsis too was thinking of trying it out

Combine that with a dance window and oof

jolly sierra
wanton breach
hidden meadow
chrome schooner
#

If you know you'll get people below 35% then you should wait

hidden meadow
chrome schooner
#

But if you're not sure then you can press it earlier to benefit from dance's damage modifier on the dot longer

jolly sierra
#

shade, thoughts about sepsis?

chrome schooner
#

I played it in 1 2v2 game

#

it dealt disappointing damage

#

cooldown is long

#

stealth spell can't be garrote, it treats it as non stealth

#

that's the biggest issue

jolly sierra
#

oof

#

fair enough ty

hidden meadow
#

The cooldown feels the worst. Having bonespike feels a lot more useful to get full combos easily

#

I must say I don't usually play crimson in 2s thoughi

#

Maybe I should but I tend to find the muti/ambush extra damage talents help me more with single target pressure

Hi Shade, in solo shuffle do you tend to use dance/kb or deathmark first? Usually in the opener I try to spread empowered garrotes followed by a deathmark -> stun on kill target. I end up saving dance/kb for my 2nd go but sometimes I feel I lack the pressure and as assa it really sucks to fall behind on cds

chrome schooner
#

I use Dance first always

#

Empowered garrotes have very high uptime due to Dance Meld and Vanish so you can always find a good moment to use Deathmark

#

Beyond the opener I mean

outer sky
#

Best 3v3 spec?

tough spruce
#

Thanks. So during dance do you prio shiv for extra burst (when playing tiny toxic blade) or just care about having the debuff up? Usually I go for cheap -> garrote -> shiv -> kingsbane.

chrome schooner
#

I just care about having it up, I don't try to use it during Danc eespecially

#

If it happens it happens

Should the second conquest buy be the offhand? I heard before our offhand isn't impactful

Pika posted a video of his murdering people in 3s with assassination. Even though the only difference from s3 is more agility, I’d say assa’s days are numbered

Welcome to Rogue

sinful ingot
gleaming pawn
#

Any time a rogue spec is oppressive, it eats a big nerf. Without fail. And AWC caliber players stomping with Assa means it might not even wait until AWC

#

Dwarf only helps so much, and it’s very easy to reapply your cleaving dots with IC

chrome schooner
#

Assa does insane dmg into these comps due to pets

#

It's a bit of a scam

gleaming pawn
#

True, and he’s playing with Affliction so everyone is just rotting period. But assa is doing numbers regardless

But Im not really sure ppl wont play outlaw again.

Isn't outlaw top dog in arena right noe?

As far as rogues are concerned

stoic spruce

I'd wait until the season gets a little older until people get gear before we know for sure

#

Top rogue yes

outer sky
#

I've heard people saying assass is best

#

I'm like

#

Have you even played outlaw

stoic spruce
#

Oh yeah

#

Yeah they're pretty juiced atm but so is Unholy and that won't last for a month or so.

outer sky
#

I will never be on board with assass in arena as long as pallys are a thing

stoic spruce
#

A month is generous too

outer sky
#

A lot of its in my head but I just hate how bad it feels pressing my CDs knowing I have to get through 2 BoPs and a bubble just to have like 1 minute to do damage before the first BoP is back off CD

stoic spruce
#

Kick hpal, win game.

Outlaw is just so nice. The damage never stops

My favorite version of Outlaw will forever be Keep your Wits About You

#

I miss that so much

stoic spruce
#

What was that again?

#

I don't think I remember that one

outer sky
#

Every time you cleaved you got an extra 2% chance for SS to hit twice

stoic spruce
#

Oh that's cool

outer sky
#

So in no time every SS would hit twice

#

It made the Skull buff literally worthless

stoic spruce
#

I think my favorite version of outlaw was funnily enough in SL with Dreadblades/Flag/greenskin

#

Healthbar deleter

#

And then everyone went kyrian and took ER

#

Blech

outer sky
#

I quit in SL after they nerfed the crit leggo into irrelevance

#

Got my 2400 S1

stoic spruce
#

I have a build I love playing but it's so bad

#

Even though it has 2 capstone talents

#

I wonder how it'd be in pvp

outer sky
#

I'm really hoping at some point they reverse the homogenization of the classes that's been occurring over the last few xpacs but it seems like it's only getting worse

stoic spruce
#

No lie

#

Talenting into SD with all 3 specs is omega sleeper

outer sky
#

Having an MS used to be a unique class advantage

#

Now everyone has one

#

And slows are actually stupid right now

stoic spruce
#

But all classes are starting to have a similar issue really

#

Yeah

#

I'll be honest

#

Only warriors, rogues, and unholy DK should have an ms

outer sky
#

Everyone slows by Like 50%+ but also everyone has gap closers so the slows become irrelevant as everyone is just using their mobility more or less on CD

stoic spruce
#

Sub did not need disarm

outer sky
#

Every game is either fighting face to face or kiting with gap closers

stoic spruce
#

You can't have both shadowy duel and disarm lol

#

That's wild

last jasper
#

who cares about duel if u hit like wet noodle

outer sky
#

Disarm as sub seems kind of lack luster since you shouldn't really be in the fight anyway unless the entire other team in CCd

stoic spruce
#

Goes are still very deadly and that's what matters

#

Yeah which is weird

outer sky
#

If the sub rogue is peeling for someone else outside of a go then something has gone horribly wrong

stoic spruce
#

Right

#

How do you manage to fit that in your gameplay?

stoic spruce
outer sky
#

That's another problem with sub

#

You're hard locked into a mage comp

#

Outlaw and assass both have a lot more options

stoic spruce
#

I disagree. Moreso setup comps but yeah the other specs have more options.

#

Like

#

Sub and fdk is kinda sleeper

#

It fucks just sayin

outer sky
#

If you're playing sub with a set up comp that doesn't have a mage you may be able to make it work but you'll always be wishing you had a mage

#

Especially now with how OP frost is

stoic spruce
#

For sure

#

Also

#

I'll play rmp

#

That's fine

outer sky
#

Fire mage sometimes could get into trouble but frost can kite for days and they're so so tanks

stoic spruce
#

But I will never play outlaw rmp

outer sky
#

Tanky*

stoic spruce
#

It feels so weird

outer sky
#

Because outlaw isn't really a set up spec. It's a spec that has the ability to set up

#

So you feel a little nerfed spending those globals setting up

#

Outlaw thug feels pretty good

#

So does outlaw RPS

#

Outlaw is kinda like a warrior where it CCs because it wants to not because it needs to

stoic spruce
#

Sometimes I send a KS because it's been a while since I've stunned

outer sky
#

Honestly sometimes in 2v2 I'll dance, cheap the healer, cheap the kill target, and wonder if the cheap on the healer was worth the global during crackshot

#

Like it actually feels better sometimes to just press damage globals for more pressure

#

And that's at 2300mmr

stoic spruce
#

I hereby declare outlaw rmp to be illegal and punishable by up to 300,000 gold to be paid by each of the persons involved on the opposite team.

outer sky
#

Anyone here figured out how to beat frost mage/
Holy priest in 2v2 reliably?

Sub

harsh steppe

for sub yes, you'll want the infurious boots of indemnity, i actually got mine today!
so you get the reagent by accepting a quest you get in from your first pvp weekly i believe
look in your inv & you should have it, accept it, go turn it in at the conq vendor, he'll give you two trophies
go to the crafting auction person, type in infurious boots of indemnity
it will pull up the rest of the ingrediants, buy them at the auction house
the last thing you'll need is a spark
bring them all back to the crafting auctioneer person & place an order, you can preview what it will be when it's complete
