Well my fam at least

jolly sierra

spanish speak fast too, they are also noisy

tough spruce

Spanish are noisy like italians

#

Greeks are more chill

jolly sierra

that is because romance language users, all are more used for warmer climates

Is this dagger good to play?

well yeah I mean does the effect actually do anything useful?

So I was playing with this r1 mage in 3s the other day and he said I need to multi dot more. He said we win by doing more damage than them. But even if I have full DoT uptime on all 3 targets and never get peeled on my CDs I still wont do as much damage as a monk, ret, or DH. Is that a me problem? like the DH will do more dam to 1 target than I can do to 3. So how do we "win by doing more damage"?

#

he also said just send kidney on whoever the closest target is

Take this with a grain of salt, im no mister rank uno:
In theory they are correct, the more damage you do, the more their healer has to heal, and the faster he becomes either OOM or makes mistakes.
If you pop CDs and you get kited, it MIGHT be on you, or on your teammates, it obviously depends on what the fuck is happening on that moment (ex: your teammates not RE'ing your chain CC, aka not helping you chain a good CC chain)

outer sky
#

I mean in theory if the win condition is doing more damage than them then we're basically screwed from the start cuz there's no way we're out damaging boomie/DH

wintry dew
#

Thats where CC's and baiting trinkets come into play

outer sky
#

You mean like drop smoke bomb without committing any damage to make someone trinket?

#

do good players fall for that?

wintry dew
#

i wouldnt say a smoke bomb

#

but a stun into blind

#

on the healer

#

might force him to trinket

#

you want to bomb when the guy you want to kill is out of CDs / trinket

outer sky
#

it just seems like we die so fast compared to everyone else, man

wintry dew
#

imagine you bombing a DH and he pops that invulnerabilty shit ability

outer sky
#

netherwalk yeah

wintry dew
#

thats why tracking CDs and DR's is so important for a rogue player

#

because we don't just zugzug

outer sky
#

yeah I do all of that

#

but like

#

I get trained

#

evasion and cloak dont feel like enough

gleaming pawn
#

Getting a trinket with your damage CDs, and Blind/Sap/CC on the healer should also lead to a trinket on their end

outer sky
#

you cant blind>sap anymore 😦

gleaming pawn
#

Then it’s as “simple” as sending a kidney on your kill, smoke bombing, and sending Dance+KB damage

#

This is all in a vacuum of course, getting peeled by the 3rd player can happen especially if your team isn’t setting up CC as well

#

But that’s the core desired gameplay loop

outer sky
#

it sounds like the stars need to be aligned. You need all 3 trinkets, full cross CC, bomb, and damage CDs

#

like how do we survive below 2400

gleaming pawn
#

Experience and trading effectively

outer sky
#

the chances of 1800 players being able to pull that off seems close to 0

gleaming pawn
#

Like you don’t want to trade Cloak or Evasion if your healer already used a CD on the you

outer sky
#

cuz despite what the WoW forums say, we cant actually cross CC a whole team by ourselves effectively. As you all know

#

Bro i die through PS getting training by ret/WW

gleaming pawn
outer sky
#

PS at 80% and I still die lmfao

#

yeah isnt assa just a melee aff lock?

#

kidney=fear

gleaming pawn
#

Part of that is a shitty healer then

#

Overlapping big defensives is bad

outer sky
#

I dont even play cheat death because I feel like I need the elusiveness DR

#

I basically have full uptime on feint the whole game

#

plus cheat death doesnt even work half the time

#

its just so hard, man. People in LFG leave it you lose a single game so its hard to practice. And all the good players seem to have people to play with

gleaming pawn
#

Yeah that’s LFG in a nutshell and it sucks

#

@jolly sierra and @surreal barn might be able chime in more and offer more specifics to try and improve

outer sky
#

would be appreciated

surreal barn
#

Every dance you can essentially cross cc the whole team

#

I take elusiveness as well

outer sky
#

another thing thats weird is everyone tells me to kidney the healer and cheap shot the kill target but I can only do that if I have vanish or dance

#

which wont be every stun DR

gleaming pawn
#

And what is your partner doing to CC things? Your mage sounds like an idiot

surreal barn
#

Yeah you are really just kidneying the kt if your buddy can follow it up with something

#

Otherwise you can use it wherever

outer sky
#

even average players are doing that

#

like vanish, cheap, cheap then get chastised or feared or disarmed

#

sometimes it happens after the 1st cheap

#

or the DH flies away or something

harsh steppe
#

do yall pvp on multiple toons? or multiple rogues

surreal barn
#

Not if you start it with an aoe garrote

#

So like if you aoe garrote the pally and warrior and healer

wintry dew
gleaming pawn
surreal barn
#

Your next would be to cheap the warrior or even the paladin

gleaming pawn
#

This season I have only really been slumming it in Blitz on my Ret

outer sky
#

for those of you that play other classes in PvP how does rogue feel in comparison to them?

harsh steppe
#

wow ok tyty

surreal barn
#

But rarely do you want to just DR everything

harsh steppe
#

so you just like, play pvp on one toon for two days, max everything out, then the next toon, etc?

wintry dew
#

get gear > reach 1800 > quit pvp for 1 month due to trauma > REPEAT

gleaming pawn
#

Like Ret can largely just push buttons as long as you don’t do stupid things like LoS your healer

surreal barn

wintry dew

WTF I was just in EOTS and my entire team got kicked out of the instance

surreal barn
#

Much easier

outer sky
#

i've been 2400 on rogue maybe I should try another class then. Ive only played rogue since 2007

jolly sierra
#

wanna know why is not pressuring as assa multidotting?

jolly sierra
#

sometimes u can do very shit damage but still manage to win because you cced the target while the dots were up plus doing a kill window with KB/DM

#

in the right timing

#

a combo of both is the key

gleaming pawn
#

Oh yeah, if your mage is throwing sheeps out like they’re Oprah. Say good bye to your bleeds

jolly sierra
#

if u annoy the shit out the healer in the right moment then its over

#

no matter the dmg

gleaming pawn

So true

happened to an opponent and it didnt count as a win for us, then it happened to us and it counted as a loss

#

Anyone here have an alt they want to try 3s /w me on? Could use some first hand advice on how to play it better as a rogue

halcyon timber
#

I believe Realz was possibly hinting at Symbols of Death being a trigger which wouldn't be a bad idea. It wouldn't be bad for Ghostly strike to be Outlaw's trigger either. After being on alpha a lot it would make sense. Thing is too frequent --> it cannot be impactful. Infrequent --> doesn't mean it should be something silly either or to base the whole kit around. Balance which the developers see fit whether people want to be mature or not must be maintained .

gleaming pawn
#

there was a suggestion in one of the channels, I don't remember which, to make the Unseen Blade be Shiv

halcyon timber
#

Fazed is good but would prob change along with it if it does get changed, Crit strikes with ambush / strike / sinister strike / backstab / gloomblade "could" apply it as an alternative. Flickerstrike could have "chance per combo pt spent" on evisc / dispatch to generate a stack too

#

Dunno as shiv is too infrequent unless the plan on stacks changing ( ex: shiv granting full stacks for being a cd? dunno as things have to be fair).

gleaming pawn
#

makes a hell of a lot more sense than Feint, and would make Shiv actually do something for Sub and Outlaw

halcyon timber
#

that would be nice too though, I wouldn't be opposed to that

gleaming pawn
#

besides the odd enrage dispell in m+

halcyon timber
#

yeah I've asked for shiv to do othr cool stuff for quite a few years

#

I do dig that Trickster provides amps to all abilities and doesn't leave anything off the table for build flexibility. Not crazy about feint but if it stuck I wouldn't kick and scream either but definitely have put in a bunch of suggestions on alpha similar to what we frequently discuss.

#

CDG definitely puts the funk back into finishers, Outlaw slams hard with it which i cool and DFA was buffed back to 40% to match that. (they don't stack - tested that and reported when it did the first few days on alpha). CDG does compare to other classes when they pop their new stuff which is nice to see and combined abilities using your custom builds is also nice instead of silly crap like gutripper returning and azerite globules. Cloud cover is cool because we finally got a version of smokebomb back that doesn't obscure vision but is useful to start a slaughter and some confusion.

Whats a good class/spec I can play to faceroll my way to 2400? Im currently 2100 on rogue. I dont want to play caster, DH, warr, ret, or DK

#

Maybe WW monk?

#

or surv hunter?

gleaming pawn
#

Survival is not great, you'd want to play MM

#

or WW

halcyon timber
#

I duno I don't multiclass or multispec but Seijuro / Zeiss / Royal / Popo are good resources.

outer sky
#

I feel like a good player knows how to shut down an MM hunter

#

even I dont lose to them on my rogue

#

disarm trueshot

#

stun it

halcyon timber
#

A bit busy with grad school so don't get to dunk this season

gleaming pawn
#

a good MM hunter is going to get their damage off anyway, and their damage is quite high regardless of trueshot

stoic spruce
#

Literal gods rn

gleaming pawn
#

but it will depend somewhat on your healer and partner to help you

jolly sierra
#

to faceroll?

#

emmmmmmmm

#

WW or MM

stoic spruce
#

Oh to faceroll

#

Yeah mm for sure

#

You'll glide right through lower mmr

#

Absolute noob busters

outer sky
#

whats "lower mmr"?

jolly sierra
#

1400 MMR

outer sky
#

I'm at 2300mmr on my rogue so I dont think Ill have a problem getting past 1400mmr no matter what spec I play

#

which one is more dominant on the leaderboards?

jolly sierra
#

rets/dhs/warrs

#

XD

outer sky
#

I mean which hunter spec? lol

jolly sierra
#

MM

outer sky
#

For those of you that have played MM, does it "feel" like a caster?

jolly sierra
#

@harsh steppe

#

also BTW wtf this numbers are minimum in participation

#

how tf there are only 184 assas at 2k1+ in US

stoic spruce
jolly sierra

and 254 in EU

#

for SS

stoic spruce
#

2100 is a breeze for current MM

If they don't get nerfed, I'm going to push with it next week when I'm off

fun fact, the pve raid rankings for last week. over 22k Ret paladins and all of 2k rogues

outer sky

I like the idea of MM hunter but I dont want it to feel like a caster

1k5-1799 EU

stoic spruce

What I find funny is how we could totally body top raiders in pvp

stoic spruce

Also me

jolly sierra

1500-1700 US

stoic spruce

Wait yeah

#

That's me

jolly sierra
#

nah rets numbers are funny

from 2k3+ average to 450+

#

dude those rog numbers depresses me

#

thought this season was easy to climb

stoic spruce
#

I'm only one rogue man

gleaming pawn

well, why would a new player pick up rogue when it's harder to play than everything else and so unrewarding

stoic spruce

Not amazing

even more if is unnerfed

What do you really get out of spending a talent point on shiv and pressing it on CD besides the added dmg from the hero talent

gleaming pawn

fair point

potent pivot
# gleaming pawn fair point

The biggest thing I won’t be looking forward to is people asking/feeling they they have to use feint with their burst n shit

pliant mauve
#

Maybe I have an unknown learning disability but is it weird to use gouge as an interrupt? Used it twice against a resto spamming cyclone at the tail end of a match and he absolutely flamed me for “wasting” it even though we won. Fucker said he wouldn’t heal me if he saw me do it.

potent pivot
#

As long as you’re not wasting the DR in that sense then it’s fine

jolly sierra
#

its fine imo

#

sometimes they baits a lot with fakecast

#

if u do that and they were intending to fake then u made them waste time

#

and saved ur interrupt to use it shortly afterwards

#

cuz u didnt triggered precog

#

i gouge aimed and sniper shots w that too

surreal barn
#

I have made it to duelist on the character with the flaring cowl

#

Let it be known

jolly sierra
#

uh

#

dude i was thinking in leveling up the NE

#

for TWW

#

now warbands will be a thing

potent pivot
#

You should

jolly sierra
surreal barn
#

Ya do it in panda land

jolly sierra
#

i will be the first one in celebrating if they disables all fkn racials in pvp in a far away future

#

but for now

#

damn

potent pivot
#

Oh I agree

surreal barn
#

Me too tbh

#

I want to play my other characters

potent pivot
#

But ngl having those extra things is nice

jolly sierra
#

yeah its nice, im just considering that option even more now

potent pivot
#

Being somewhat strong armed into a race tho is lame af

jolly sierra
#

because fkn shadow dance goes removed in assa

surreal barn
#

Should let that enchant people are going to be able to sell also give the racial

potent pivot
#

Then when they do racial tuning you have to pay to switch or level a new toon -_-

jolly sierra
#

anyways

#

now i will push w 2 chars for TWW

#

i will compare too

#

how hard is one compared to the other one

potent pivot
#

I’m at 3 rogues now

#

Since they nerfed orc

surreal barn
#

It really is the magic number

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

oh sorry

#

how hard is pandaren compared to NE

#

by just 1 fkn racial

surreal barn
#

Well, it’s 1 racial and 10 seconds of indiscriminate carnage

#

😆

#

Which if used early enough you can use twice

#

I’ve even traded meld for 3 cheap on an evoker to get rid of cc immune

#

Depends

jolly sierra
#

its still stronger than a blind-like gouge

#

sad

halcyon timber
#

Heard enough, i agree nerf dh

jolly sierra
#

who tf is the only lightforged at 2k1+ overall worldwide?

#

guy turned into the greatest chad

halcyon timber
#

Its def either change meld or change meld as the only options

jolly sierra
#

yeah but

#

remove meld when

halcyon timber
#

Dunno man , its cool kaldorei have it but enough is enough

#

Vanish was nerfed too btw

jolly sierra
#

its ok being a NE

#

but not playing NE just for the racial

#

that is it

#

xd

halcyon timber
#

Or meld could just be coded to unable or do any other action until cancelled

jolly sierra
#

(i agreed w teldrassil burning)

halcyon timber
#

It was a good war strategy

#

Nuke your enemies before they can do to you

#

Alliance would have done the same

jolly sierra
#

nah NEs were pricks, always felt morally superior to everyone

#

even to allies

halcyon timber
#

Wc3 kaldorei for sure

jolly sierra
#

wow ones too

surreal barn
#

Cause we are superior

#

Meld

jolly sierra
#

meld

halcyon timber
#

They aint punks, good to see they have fight in them

#

They will prob just make stealth a longer cd instead because people trinket sap in 2024

#

Like the old days, was like what ? 10sec its been like 12 years or longer

jolly sierra
#

they are still pricks, look at thalyssra attempt to recruit and how they looked down at vol´jin for darkspear rebellion

halcyon timber

Don’t remember ever since master of deception went away or whatever it was called

Fighting nerubians, 2nd war colorized

jolly sierra
#

im still doubtful about nerubian lore

#

they seems to reject old gods (the ones we met) but this new ones from another zone seems to accept and embrace them, so im worried if they dont do another klaxxi w the northrend ones

#

rlly hated what they did w klaxxi

halcyon timber
#

Im not spoiling jack but the story is a lot more involved

#

Lots of cool stuff down there

jolly sierra
#

wut, northrend ones?

halcyon timber
#

There are a lot of lore references towards northrend

#

I purposely didn’t do a lot of stuff regarding the story but i know enough to get a picture on what is going on as they have focused testing and a lot of stuff is left out on purpose due to data miners not controlling themselves

jolly sierra
#

ah i see

#

wowhead spoiled a little too

surreal barn
#

Answer me this

#

Is balancing gonna suck

#

With the hero talents

jolly sierra
#

looks like

#

as everything new

halcyon timber
#

They are doing pvp tuning atm

#

So maybe shaky when no one has gear like a prepatch as expected. Not justification for nerf x though

#

Only thing that is kinda nuts are ww monk / mage / paladin / dh can be crazy too but everyone else is pretty good atm

#

Warriors hurt a lot with their new toy too . Dk also hurts honestly

#

No idea how they are going to honestly balance windwalker shadopan though. Teachings of the monastery blackout kicks like 9x i think atm

#

They gained a lotta mobility and are hard to catch and kite . Double jump and when they roll on the ground like a hot dog for 20yards is a bit nuts

#

Mage stun from sunfury still lifts you in the air but is considered a root instead of a stun as well

Gear question:

I have the conquest crit ring with a socket and the conquest mastery ring without a socket. They're both ilev 528 in PvP.

I bought the big mastery ring and upgraded it to 10/14. I don't have enough Aspect crests to get it higher. It's 522 in PvP.

#

Should I still wear the 522 ring over one of the above higher item level ones simply because it's way more mastery?

jolly sierra

i was able to earn this name, i wont waste it

just noticed im wearing a locked item (maybe scaled like shit in DF)

Peeps enjoying retail rogue pvp? friend invited me to cata to level rogue to play with his mage so we could play 2's, mut the leveling + gearing just to get into arena is quite an investment time wise compared to retail, wondering if I just return to retail, grab gear and queue 😄
Thinking of playing double dps 2's as subtetly (both in cata n retail)

wintry dew
#

Sounds like a plan

#

I enjoyed cata pvp

#

But I was ass and young during that era

dapper chasm
#

We all enjoyed cata pvp

#

You know what spec was top for rogues in pvp back then?

stoic spruce
#

Sub

#

Double sub actually

wintry dew
#

Nothing like proccing the weapon

#

And brrrrr

stoic spruce
#

Leggo carried sub and don't act like it didnt

#

Lol exactly

dapper chasm
#

I only had level 2 at the time

#

And raw skill

#

How do I bind "Heh, nothing personal, kid" to a shadowstep macro so it only goes off if ShS lands?

#

I mean, I don't wana sound like some sort of loon

wintry dew
#

You probably need a separate key bind for a shs and press it once

#

But use another keybind for normal rotation or you'll be spamming xD

dapper chasm
#

What if I'm chasing someone just outside range and spamming it to land it early?

#

I'd come across as some sort of crackpot instead of a super cool guy

wintry dew
#

On ... Maybe on the 2nd ability

#

Like CS or Kidney

ocean thunder
#

Does the Seal of Filial Duty work on pvp - the proc part? Or people chase it for the tons of mastery?

surreal barn
surreal barn
#

As that only goes off after a successful cast

steel scarab
#

@surreal barn I'll stick with the ring then, it definitely increases my mastery by a good bit, I think 8%

surreal barn
#

On my silly geared rogue I am using it with 3/12

steel scarab
#

Lol nice

#

It feels so bad I wasted a TON of aspect crests on the tier helm, simply because I figured "I'll never need these for PvP, so I'll just upgrade my PvE stuff"

#

Now I'm out of aspect crests cuz I can't hit 2100 anymore lol

#

It would be great if they'd keep PvE out of PvP like they used to

dapper chasm
#

Just hit 2100, bro

steel scarab
#

I mean I'm trying, my gear was completely cursed for a few weeks due to bad luck vaults and suboptimal crafts. Still only have 1 embellishment

#

Plus the 15% Garrote and Kingsbane initial hit nerf hit me hard, I tend to have really long matches so Garrote getting gutted hurt bad, and I tended to Kingsbane then swap to cross CC the healer, and now post KB nerf you really need to stay on the KB target

#

Trying to get used to those playstyle changes

harsh steppe
#

gm

wintry dew
#

Yo

harsh steppe
# dapper chasm We all enjoyed cata pvp

i wish i would have played back then, i worked really hard to get those skins recently, but i'm never unmogging at least Goliad, I swear, not until my corpse is cold

#

are there any daggers that are harder to get than those?

surreal barn
steel scarab
#

True

wintry dew
steel scarab
#

@harsh steppe I have those and I never mog them anymore, they just look too weird lol

dapper chasm
#

Gear aint that important

harsh steppe
#

thanks all btw for being there for me yesterday, that really meant a lot to me PirateHeart

wintry dew
#

But nothing happened yesterday

steel scarab
#

@dapper chasm I would say that for sin, gear matters quite a bit. At the very least, having the proper secondaries is of particular importance. Imagine being a new player and stacking haste/versatility, the spec would just literally do nothing

#

If anything, the recent Garrote and Kingsbane nerfs are proof that the devs are balancing our spec around people maxing mastery, because my Garrotes were not ticking particularly well when I had 60% mastery, so chopping 15% off that was an absolutely crippling nerf

dapper chasm
#

I hear a lot of talkin

#

When it should be the sound of winnin

#

But like not whinin

steel scarab
#

I'm at work. It is hard to win arenas at work

dapper chasm
#

Weak attitude

steel scarab
#

I went 5-1, 4-2, 4-2 last night

#

Rating came up by ~100

#

What do you want from me man

#

Queues are long

dapper chasm
#

It's not awful

#

But you gotta pump those numbers up

#

Way up

steel scarab
#

If Blizzard can give me 30 second queues I'd play a lot more

#

It's hard when 3 games is a 2 hour investment

dapper chasm
#

WoW is the most AFK game in the world for me

#

It has it's own screen while I do other shit

#

INCLUDING WORK

#

sometimes

steel scarab
#

Your job is obviously a lot easier than mine lol

surreal barn
dapper chasm
#

I don't even know what that is

#

But I think it means you're a furry

surreal barn
#

Live listen lets you have AirPods on during queue

#

And go do real life shit

dapper chasm
#

AirPods...

#

I thought this was the audiophile rogue board

steel scarab
#

Dude I'm 40 years old. People as old as me don't have airpods

surreal barn
#

Says the guy without a vintage pioneer setup

dapper chasm
#

I gots shit

#

I gots mad shit

#

A singxer/cambridge audio setup going on atm

#

Feeding a DC Stealth

#

Fucking braided cables and shit

#

That.. doesn't mean anything to anyone here, does it?

surreal barn
#

Do you have the steely dan t shirt

dapper chasm
#

I bought mine second hand like a smart man

#

So if it came with a shirt, the asshole kept it

#

At least he had clean ears

surreal barn
#

I got mine in Atlanta like a real man

dapper chasm
#

I'm from a real country

#

Engerland

#

The rest of the world wants their artifacts back

They can visit them any time

Whatever the guy above says, I'm with him

dapper chasm
#

Was literally cooking alive out there just now picking up my kid from school

#

England looks like a garden

#

A sexy garden

wintry dew
#

Does your kid play rogue yet?

dapper chasm
#

Too young

#

That's a man's spec

wintry dew
#

You gotta teach him while he's still young

dapper chasm
#

There's worse hobbies than WoW

#

Not many

#

But they are there

#

panda time in 5m [na]

dapper chasm
#

Is that a furry thing?

surreal barn
#

Still can’t decide if I’m doing it

#

Didn’t really like panda land mogs

wintry dew
#

Have you seen all the rewards?

surreal barn
#

I feel like I have?

gleaming pawn
#

There’s all of the new to the remix mogs and mounts and such

#

But yeah I won’t be going ham on the remix. I’ll use it to level a monk, and maybe grab some rewards but otherwise meh

surreal barn
#

From what I saw they are all still low res models that weren’t really updated

#

I have wanted to level a dracthyr though

wintry dew
#

My counter argument is

#

Chicken backpack

surreal barn
#

Link

#

I have no idea what you’re talking about

gleaming pawn
surreal barn
#

Damn

#

I kinda want that chicken

wintry dew
#

Imagine killing someone while taking care of a chicken

#

That might later become KFC

#

And ofc

#

He panda tmog

#

From the trailer

#

(mop trailer)

surreal barn
#

Hat is cool.

#

Alright panda monk it is

gleaming pawn
#

Buying some of the super rare mounts like the sha of anger’s dragon would be my desired use of bronze. But I’ll have to see how much bronze I actually get

surreal barn
#

What would be funny is if they boost it near the end

#

Like plunder 😆

wintry dew
#

True

#

Hello panda

gleaming pawn
#

He has been summoned

jolly sierra
#

so the elitist guy from some days ago come back and got banned? nice

wintry dew
#

Double kill

jolly sierra
wintry dew
#

Server is unfortunately on fire lately

#

2 bans here and 1 in assa channel :/

#

In like 3 days

gleaming pawn
jolly sierra
#

ye lol all targets here were hyper

jolly sierra
wintry dew
#

Hyper just said "he's in my shuffle lobby"

#

Guy got furious, did his research on hyper character and rating

#

Went to check hyper store

jolly sierra
#

the same elitist guy it seems

wintry dew
#

A bunch of shit

jolly sierra
wintry dew
#

Idk but totally unexpected

#

There is no need for this kind of stress over a game

jolly sierra
#

damn, elitism from days ago felt like an ego shield

#

rather than a gatekeeping attitude

neat dove
#

SUB
hey, from what ive gathered tier set is also bis in pvp, but how important is it actually?
I've got 4 pieces, 3 normal one heroic, but idk if its actually worth wearing or whether I should just buy conquest gear for 528 in the respective slots, even if its a dps loss surely the massive stamina increase has a value, too, right?

jolly sierra
#

in summary

hyper got a win

wintry dew
gleaming pawn
wintry dew
neat dove
jolly sierra
#

even more if felt personally attacked by hyper single comment

wintry dew
#

Hyper chilling in his 1k mmr matches like is nobody business

neat dove
#

oh i forgot that exists, have only started playing dragonflight 3-4weeks ago

wintry dew
#

So in theory you have 4 charges ready

#

In case you didn't use any

#

(1/week)

neat dove
#

yeah i visited once thought "neat" and never did anything cuz at the time my highest itemlvl piece was 480

wintry dew
#

Conquest pvp gear always scales to 528

jolly sierra
#

ye

potent pivot
#

sheesh

potent pivot
gleaming pawn
#

Yeah there’s a lot to do in the remix if you want it all

potent pivot
#

he changed his username on his acc and deleted all his most recent messages etc

wintry dew
#

He was banned

potent pivot
#

but now both acc's are banned 👍

wintry dew
#

Like pewpew

potent pivot
#

so there's going to be lfr/normal/heroic/mythic raids in the pandaria shit

#

?

wintry dew
#

I'm still wondering. You'll be able to lvl real fast and do raids at like lvl 30

grave basin
#

in ptr every boss died in under 1min

#

cause we're all OP as fuck from the power up gems

#

infinity stones

potent pivot
#

doing every level of raid on that many characters is going to be difficult no matter what

grave basin
#

theyre reintroducing garrosh heirlooms

potent pivot
#

they could have also tuned the bosses to be a bit harder

grave basin
#

so im gonna get the pig sticker this time FOR SURE

grave basin
potent pivot
#

yeah no telling really

#

but that's a lot of sets

#

to be farming

#

only ones that don't look that great are warrior

#

@wintry dew are all of these just recolors?

#

ik the rogue ones are

wintry dew
#

All of them are the original recolours, my doubt is: will they be moved from "rogue/warrior/whatever class" to "Leather, mail,etc"?

#

I believe i read that somewhere

jolly sierra
#

the sai, i wanna the sai

surreal barn
#

I think they answered that

#

Said it will be the latter

wintry dew
potent pivot
#

in regular retail

wintry dew
#

"Yesno"

potent pivot
wintry dew
#

you can farm the class specific ones

#

but you cant use the "druid" set

potent pivot
#

i gotchu

wintry dew
#

but, as far as i understand, buying them on the remix vendor

#

will make them go from Druid only to Leather only

potent pivot
#

i need my rogue in this

wintry dew
wintry dew
potent pivot
#

so that should carry over to retail as well

#

in theory

wintry dew
#

in the end of Remix yes

#

your character aswell

#

and all the achievments accomplished there

potent pivot
#

so we really only need 1 class of each armor type

wintry dew
#

Pretty much yeah

potent pivot
#

noice

wintry dew
#

The only concern is: How long does one take to actually farm a bunch of stuff

potent pivot
#

same

#

and how long is the remix going to be

#

i assume it's going to be relatively easy

wintry dew
#

its supposed to go all the way thru until TWW launch i believe

potent pivot
#

otherwise they wouldn't have THIS many rewards

surreal barn
#

Hmm 🤔

harsh steppe
#

so how exactly does nelf restealthing work? you pop the nelf stealth racial, but you have to stay in the same spot or it breaks, so you cast regular rogue stealth after? wouldn't that not work since you're already in stealth?

wintry dew
#

you still create a character on "your server"

#

so there's that

surreal barn
#

Stand still for the two clicks in your sequence

harsh steppe
#

oh wow

surreal barn
#

Add a !stealth in there so you don’t accidentally unstealth

harsh steppe
#

wow

surreal barn
#

But the sequence should probably prevent that anyway

harsh steppe
#

that seems so op 😦

surreal barn
#

It is ^.^

last jasper
#

For assa maybe

surreal barn
#

For sub too next expansion

#

With subterfuge being 6 seconds

harsh steppe
#

fml

last jasper
surreal barn
#

All rogues have it

last jasper
#

So sub lost second dance charge?

halcyon timber
#

No

last jasper
#

Can’t find dance on wowhead calculator

#

Well if not, than it’s not a big deal

halcyon timber
#

Talent that was made for balance reasona . They didn’t remove anything from outlaw per say and as a trade for dance being back on us Subtlety rogues, without a trace is selectable by all rogues

#

Look on beta calculator my man

last jasper
halcyon timber
#

Class tree changed mostly, pur tree is good as is

last jasper
#

I’m jealous that every rogue is now can have 2 charges of vanish 😂

halcyon timber
#

Idgaf , they can stop pointing fingers now

waxen meteor
#

is there some news

last jasper
#

And cdr is nerfed :/

halcyon timber
#

Yes , preparation took a hit . Definitely like it being back though

waxen meteor
#

poggers can someone share a portal to the news

#

i don't seem to find news related to what you guys talking about

surreal barn
#

It’s cause DH is rotting your brain

#

The same happened to me as I played Hunter this week

waxen meteor
tribal badger
#

2 charges of vanish is replacing dance

#

fwiw

waxen meteor
#

i will probably finish dh/sp this week

tribal badger
#

in the class tree

waxen meteor
#

but maybe pandoria will stop my plan

waxen meteor
tribal badger
#

pinned in some of the TWW specific channels

#

also of note for pvp: vanishes safety window is cut in half

#

1.5s down from 3s

#

so dots will counter resets a bit harder

waxen meteor
#

the title didn't help for my search!

#

lol wtf is this

#

New Talent: Shadowheart – Leech increased by 3% while Stealthed.

tribal badger
#

replacement for subterfuge

#

since subterfuge moved down the tree

waxen meteor
#

and we lose the range talent too?

#

Acrobatic Strikes has been redesigned – Auto-attacks increase auto-attack damage and movement speed by 1% for 3 seconds, stacking up to 10%.

tribal badger
#

yes

#

increased melee range is gone

waxen meteor
#

Nightstalker has been removed.

tribal badger
#

ye

waxen meteor
#

let me keep reading hopefully there are good news

tribal badger
#

sin got some decent pve changes but uh

#

the pathing of the trees changed also for all 3 specs i think

#

u can look at the calculators on wowhead

harsh steppe
#

is this resto?

tribal badger
#

yes

harsh steppe
#

ty

waxen meteor
#

Shadow Dance moved from the Class talent tree to Subtlety talent tree.

#

.....

#

did i read it right or dance becomes a sub only thing again

tribal badger
#

yes, double charge vanish replaced dance in the class tree

#

dance is sub only now

waxen meteor
#

prayge holy cow

#

i feel sin is dead in pvp

#

and sub will get nerfed as always if it's good

#

also the SBS change doesn't seem to be good

halcyon timber
#

It felt pretty solid

waxen meteor
#

it saves a keybind tht's it

tribal badger
#

it also saves a gcd

#

SBS happens for free now

#

like an ogcd

halcyon timber
#

Does good upfront damage and refunded 3 cb pts when you’re rolling

tribal badger
#

its not competing with ur other spells

waxen meteor
#

well you use SBS anyway when you are rooted for most times isn't it

tribal badger
#

better pve change then pvp change tho probably

#

since u could use it as a ranged generator in pvp

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

SBS was quite good low energy spender and range skill

#

GCD was not a big concern

#

now it will become auto, but you sort of have to arrange a rupture on different target every 30 sec

#

and dmg all nerfed

#

i fail to see it positive tbh

tribal badger
#

well shouldnt look at damage

#

this isnt tuning

#

its design stuff for alpha

#

just look at design

#

numbers will all be tuned

waxen meteor
#

yeah

#

that' true

#

it's kinda annoying, just getting used to our aoe build and play style

harsh steppe
#

how does the human trinket buff work? is that just like having two trinks?

last jasper
waxen meteor
#

now we lose them lol

tribal badger
harsh steppe
#

so it's 30s less time?

waxen meteor
#

it's better burst, but you gonna eat whole none stun cc

last jasper
waxen meteor
#

Damn i entered a RBG team but it's taking 10 minutes to pop a game

#

should have kept queueing solo

dapper chasm
#

Other specs have access to shadow dance right now?

#

The fuck is this?

steel scarab
#

They better buff Indiscriminate Carnage if they're taking away Shadow Dance

#

Because it's basically half as good without it

dapper chasm
#

Why would ass and combat even have access to the signature sub ability?

last jasper
dapper chasm
#

Just came back after a short break

wintry dew
#

It's a dragonflight thing

last jasper
#

Short like 2 years? 😂

dapper chasm
#

About 12

wintry dew
#

Will go back to normal in the next expansion

dapper chasm
#

That's like giving sub mutilate and illusions of self-grandeur

wintry dew
#

Heheheh

last jasper
wintry dew
#

But not dance

dapper chasm
#

Vanish is a rogue thing, dance is a sub thing

last jasper
#

Still don’t like it

dapper chasm
#

Not the same

#

And I thought mutilate-step builds were pushing it sheesh

waxen meteor
#

well i don't disagree dance had been a sub thing

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

but now our play has been around dance for quite a bit

#

it's hard to do it without dance now

dapper chasm
#

Learn, losers

potent pivot
#

especially decent synergy with outlaw's ambush spam

waxen meteor
#

I think you will get a mute

dapper chasm
#

Roll a man's spec

#

I thought this was the pvp channel?

waxen meteor
#

there's no reason to speak like this

potent pivot
#

though on assa it's kinda weird, because ambush is w/e on assa

#

especially rn when you're fok spamming

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

u are reaching rough grounds here, baritone

potent pivot
dapper chasm
#

It just feels like turning 3 specs into one class again

potent pivot
#

no reason for all that

We gotta chill with mutes and bans for a day, it's been too much

last jasper
dapper chasm
#

I'm also really not happy with the new shiv

But crippling is mega-sleeper op

tawny kestrel
#

514 shuffle rounds played > only just realized every spec has access to dance

#

gg

potent pivot
#

subterfuge, etc

dapper chasm
#

I can't think of a more core part of sub than shadow step and dance

#

Backstab?

potent pivot
#

ye backstab

#

the last positional in the game

dapper chasm
potent pivot
#

step has always been on assa too though no?

dapper chasm
#

No

last jasper
dapper chasm
#

You could go down to mutilate in sub and still grab step, but give up what I think is now death mark

potent pivot
#

vendetta was almost never much of a burst

dapper chasm
#

It was... There

potent pivot
#

besides certain times in SL with legendaries and covenants iirc

#

that one meme sepsis build kekdog

steel scarab
#

Rogue is literally unplayable without all 3 specs having a form of Shadowstep though. What they SHOULD do is give Assassination super high melee damage + strong bleeds and take away our gap closers, and really ramp up the effect of crippling poison. Make us super scary up close with less mobility

#

To give us an actual spec identity

dapper chasm
#

I just feel ass should be about dots and explosive finishers

#

Kinda a lock on crack

potent pivot
steel scarab
#

No. Sub is the finisher spec. Assassination is supposed he the OPENER spec

#

Lol outlaw has step. It's just a different animation

potent pivot
#

with hook and blade rush

#

yes but now outlaw can also run step as well

dapper chasm
steel scarab
#

That is unhinged

halcyon timber
steel scarab
#

And yes, I know, I'm just saying from a class identity POV, that's what assassination should be. Low mobility, insane openers, insane sustained, very high crippling poison effect

last jasper
#

By taking step from assa/outlaw u gotta take away 45 charges/leaps/dashes from others

potent pivot
#

whenever sub has strong enough finishers, the community complains about them one shotting them 1/10 games

dapper chasm
#

As someone who played with 1 or 0 steps, it's not needed to feel mobile

#

Now I have 13

steel scarab
#

You literally cannot fight a mediocre frost mage without Shadowstep or grappling hook

#

It's impossible

#

Let alone a good one

halcyon timber
steel scarab
#

Ambush hits for 50k

dapper chasm
#

I fought the best frost mages using nothing but moxy and raw skills

steel scarab
#

That's 1/20 of a hp bar bro

dapper chasm
#

And gumption

halcyon timber
#

Plus poison damage

steel scarab
#

What poison damage

dapper chasm
#

Crippling is just so damn good

steel scarab
#

Weapon poison damage is like 4% of an assassination rogues damage

halcyon timber
#

Vicious venoms

#

During shiv and shit etc

dapper chasm
halcyon timber
#

Or an execute stage has gotta do some decent hits

tribal badger
#

so

#

thats part of it

#

bleeds r a bit overtuned compared t opoisons rn tho yea

#

also u just barely press envenom which also would be buffing poison damage

steel scarab
#

Oh, you mean Vicious Venoms, that unplayable talent that you literally cannot use due to the devs assuming every assassination PVP rogue is going to spec into Sanguine Blades, and that by electing to take 1/1 Sanguine Blades your options become either put 2 points in Vicious Venoms and be absolutely energy starved all match and have Sanguine Blades basically never active, or skip Sanguine Blades and have absolutely zero sustained damage that can actually put opponents into the 35% HP range that allows us to become bursty?

#

The two talents have the most miserable anti synergy I've seen in probably any tree this expansion lol

dapper chasm
#

When did sustain become the king of pvp damage?

steel scarab
#

It's not about sustain specifically, but I mean, do I need to pull the numbers? Let's count how many of the 100 top rogues on murlok.io use Vicious Venoms

halcyon timber
#

Hard to converse with you lately bud and I really hope you find joy in stuff soon.

potent pivot
#

atm pvp kinda leans toward whoever does the most dmg wins

halcyon timber
#

Yeah rough stuff man

potent pivot
#

dmg profiles almost don't matter

steel scarab
#

I don't know why you find it hard to converse with me, I'm just very direct lol

dapper chasm
#

I dunno, most of my matches end with me having half the raw damage of other builds, but I still win enough to come back

potent pivot
#

like on the regular or average end of the ladder, you can outplay people with cc and burst

dapper chasm
potent pivot
#

but at the high end it's just beat the other team up until the healer is out of mana or fucks up

halcyon timber
#

You like to raise your typing voice is all when an example is made

steel scarab
#

I'm not yelling, I made a counterpoint

dapper chasm
#

CC and burst is not a high end strat? Surely you're exaggerating

tribal badger
#

they dont run vicious venoms because poisons are slightly undertuned

steel scarab
#

You don't play assassination and I can tell

tribal badger
#

im saying poisons arent as bad as 4% of ur damage

#

they are 4% of ur damage because sin builds are avoiding every poison node

#

in the tree

#

that was my main point

halcyon timber
#

It was an example bubs

potent pivot
steel scarab
#

It was a terrible example with a talent nobody uses!

last jasper
#

Ppl take this game way to serious

potent pivot
#

no need to be adverse about it, just discuss :)

#

that's what we're here for

steel scarab
#

Okay, bad tone, I didn't mean to have bad tone, I'm sorry, I do this a lot when typing lol

halcyon timber
#

Still love you my man regardless

dapper chasm
#

Wow, the pvp scene has changed a lot over the years...

steel scarab
#

Like the way I'd say it irl would be funny and sarcastic, like Chandler Bing, but when I type I sound like a total dick

potent pivot
steel scarab
#

It's not on purpose

halcyon timber
#

Sometimes Z you’re a bit instigative bud

dapper chasm
#

People talking about their emotions instead of what brings hatred to their hearts. Complete lack of insinuating about mothers. I feel like a relic of the past

potent pivot
dapper chasm
#

Still

potent pivot
#

the matches i caught of the AWC, most of them were won off mana

dapper chasm
#

Makes me sad tight plays are marginalised

halcyon timber
#

I cannot talk about things as I want to. I am trying to be a good person

potent pivot
#

like an alarmingly large amount of the matches i saw were won on mana lol

halcyon timber
#

Forums demanded the game be slowed down

potent pivot
#

and not for lack of trying to make winning plays

dapper chasm
#

Is awc the new tournament format?

halcyon timber
#

So they got their wish

steel scarab

I had a match just yesterday. I'm totally healable, pally isn't cc'ed, very long match
