You could have 0 CDs left and could still auto-attack the melee to apply crippling to help peel

#

Hell, I've had nothing left and still shived the healer who was on the other side of the map

harsh steppe
#

yeah not knowing what to do is when i panic but i didn’t think about crippling or just checking on trinkets

#

i will do that and also delete a few WAs i don’t pay attention to anyways

surreal barn
#

Reminders are better than static buttons

#

like, eviscerate ain’t going anywhere

harsh steppe
#

yeah that was to memorize my basic burst rotation but i have it memorized now i could move that around too good point ty

surreal barn
#

sha enchant better than s4 illusion lol

harsh steppe
#

damn you look cool af
i like those bloody bandages aha

dapper chasm
#

When I "got gud" was realising how these smaller debuffs can completely swing the game

#

Anyone can pump a burst combo into a defensive and do a few mill at the end of a round

harsh steppe
#

yah just hit 1200 ez with y'alls tips in an hour wow

dapper chasm
#

(best rogue advice of all time)

#

"Heh, I carried this rogue by getting the enemy kill - where even was he? He and the rest of the enemy team were just gone"

neat dove
#

wait i just heard something and want to confirm its true before i do stupid stuff

When you buy a conquest gear item, lets say gloves, and turn them into the set gloves, do the set gloves still go up to itemlvl 528 in arena?

dapper chasm
#

Yep

neat dove
#

damn thanks this changes a lot

#

at least conquest is uncapped now

#

so me not getting any 528 tier piece doesnt matter as much

neat dove
dapper chasm
#

If you did a 30 sec CC chain with your partner not noticing

#

I swear, shuffle is just a carrying skillset

neat dove
#

nah its solo shuffle in 1400-1600 range everyone is blind

dapper chasm
#

Yeah, gotta lead the blind

#

Every single 3-3 game I've had, I think "What could have gone different"

#

Sometimes you gotta ignore the "correct" target because your partner is

#

The only true issue I have is with bots tbh

surreal barn
#

you sure they are bots

dapper chasm
#

I've seen 2 I was certain about

#

The rest is a nice excuse to have in the back pocket, but you never know

#

Back in the day, we'd say arena was 90% positioning, it seems that's totally gone now too

surreal barn
#

true, there was tough to beat ele bot floating around

dapper chasm
#

Some whole classes get fucked by a pillar

surreal barn
#

but im sure there are more

dapper chasm
#

But why does the monk stand in the middle against a hunter/lock?

#

What do his monk eyes see?

wintry dew
#

Fistweavers

dapper chasm
#

I don't know what that is

surreal barn
#

probably for the best

#

maybe they will disappear next season

gleaming pawn
#

Fistweaver is a type of healing monk where all of their healing comes from punching and kicking things in the face, so they have to be in melee range to do anything

dapper chasm
#

My man was no healer

sick wasp
#

💀

#

the life of a healer in shuffle

#

get cloned/stunned/feared/dps los you

#

very fun

waxen meteor
sick wasp
#

well at least like 30min ago,ive logged out

#

cursed lobbies

#

i cba into double SP/Mage

#

cant do sht

#

anyone who says hpallies suck btw

#

or bad or anything

#

no fukin clue

surreal barn
#

The will to queue and cap these vaults is disappearing

sick wasp
#

i dont mind tbh its jsut some lobbies that are completely cancer

#

and u know

#

i could play those,ppl also doing random stupid sht that make them even more miserable

waxen meteor
#

You hardly even see hpal in solo

#

Pff one of the reasons sin is good

sick wasp
#

hpallies are fiiiine

#

they dont rly suck,they are weaker than dragons jumping around doing weird sht

waxen meteor
#

I saw this by a r1 hpal in discord

#

I am not good at healer but it feels fairly the same as how I feel

sick wasp
#

idk im currently on swamp cr tbh but it doesnt feel weak when it comes to heal

surreal barn
waxen meteor
#

My personal feeling is

surreal barn
#

After experiencing their kit it is so fun

waxen meteor
#

Hpal can be super easily trained

#

You don’t even need teammate to train hpal

sick wasp
#

hpally is prime for training ye

waxen meteor
#

As sin or as DH you can almost single train them

sick wasp
#

but i feel like im tanking okay-ish

#

but judging from the morons that try to run me down

#

u might have a point

#

the DHs running me down open with hunt and then they get stunned,trinket into incap

#

and i run away

waxen meteor
#

If DH picks isolation for 5s stun, 100% crit aura and 30% more dmg eye beam , I don’t know how hpal survive if teammate doesn’t peal

#

If bite for kick didn’t work and get kicked it’s bubble

#

Repeat, dead

#

Physical immune basically doesn’t work against DH since DH has offensive dispel Surebud

sick wasp
#

pallies can easily sustain themselves with wall and prism and hshock

waxen meteor
#

Yeah but it’s not enough against DH

sick wasp
#

ye u need to dispell

#

and trade a bop maybe

#

u need to press stuff

#

but idk solo me

tough spruce
#

Weakaura for essence break helps

sick wasp
#

yup

#

essence break big sht

tough spruce
#

You cant stop their damage but u can stop their burst

waxen meteor
#

Essence break is one of most visual skill in game

sick wasp
#

there are answers for alot of stuff

waxen meteor
#

You can rely on your eyes OMEGAKEKW OMEGAKEKW

sick wasp
#

but u ofc need help

#

im actually more comfortable getting trained rather than having morons los me and die like dogs

waxen meteor
#

It’s really really hard for hpal against DH solo

sick wasp
#

behind pillars

surreal barn
#

What’s that muscle man meme called

#

The guy kinda smirking

waxen meteor
#

It’s also kinda awkward cause bop is useless against mage team

#

Probably in general against casters

#

Which is one of hpal main CDs

surreal barn
#

@pale storm check out Narassin’s Soul Gem and then Spring Florist’s Pouch

#

You turn their body into a rock and then it plants a flower on their dead body

worthy crag
#

these datamined deathstalker hero tree looks pretty nice

gleaming pawn
jolly sierra
#

lets see this shit

#

im into this

#

DFA intensifies

#

bait and switch 100% here

#

its a very good tree compared to fatebound

lucid citrus
#

I like this tree better than the others so far

jolly sierra
#

yep

#

its very simplistic in paper

#

and has very little gimmicks

#

im 100% sure im leaning to this in TWW

lucid citrus
#

oh yeah forsure compared to the other two

gleaming pawn
jolly sierra
#

so basically specs become hit or miss after nerfing some of this stuff like ER

#

in SL

wintry dew
#

for more dooming

jolly sierra
#

meh let them doom

#

we already have what we wanted to see

lucid citrus
#

I wonder what;s the CD of consuming a deathstalker's marked

wintry dew
#

i dont think there's a cd

jolly sierra
#

i think is loopable

lucid citrus
#

that's crazy

jolly sierra
#

they seems to buff it for next XP

#

sounds like wod one

#

just needs the aoe dmg and its almost the same

#

sounds like ppl will lean more to blindside now

lucid citrus
#

makes sense to apply the mark

surreal barn
#

So like, it looks like the mark stays forever?

#

Until you ambush someone else??

jolly sierra
#

i wonder if vicious venoms will be used w this build

jolly sierra
surreal barn
#

Idk, look at darkest night

jolly sierra
#

for me the only real flaw from this is this wording

lucid citrus
#

yeah cause what if the free proc from blindside doesnt apply deathstalker's mark

#

cause it's not from stealth

surreal barn
#

Then lame

jolly sierra
#

yep

#

they would force to pick a vanish in that case

lucid citrus
#

i mean we get two vanishs now lol

jolly sierra
#

ye but vs shadow dance available every 1m

#

oof

#

no dude i rlly want shadow dance back

surreal barn
#

lol id rather it than deathmark

jolly sierra
#

same

#

fkn deathmark

lucid citrus
#

i agree

surreal barn
#

POS ass deathmark

#

Will be funny if everyone can just remove deathstalkers mark

#

lololol

jolly sierra
#

yeeee

lucid citrus
#

I wish i had ptr so i can test this tree out

jolly sierra
#

clasify it as a bleed

#

KEK

surreal barn
#

same

#

@halcyon timber is our only hope

#

Now go forth

jolly sierra
#

eridian do god's job

#

and help us confirming

gleaming pawn
wintry dew
#

YEP

surreal barn
#

lul

wintry dew
#

I was reading chat

surreal barn
#

Should we go fuel the fire

lucid citrus
#

probably going to go ER in assa to do more envenom

jolly sierra
jolly sierra
lucid citrus
#

yuupp

surreal barn
#

I feel like sub wins

#

Ngl

jolly sierra
#

sub won everything

#

just w that wording

tribal badger
#

am i missing something or, why would you need blindside procced ambush to cause marks

#

you have an endless supply of marks after ur opener

jolly sierra
tribal badger
#

the capstone makes it so whenever you finish consuming them your next full cp finisher will apply 3 marks to its target

#

yes, you need to ambush 1 time from stealth

#

to start the loop

#

but how would you have blindside for that

#

its the very start of combat

surreal barn
#

There is a way to not flip coins or apply deathstalker marks

#

But the DH discords are kinda lame

jolly sierra
surreal barn
#

yep

tribal badger
#

sure, whats the problem with that

spring bough
#

Is this season inflated? 44-40 on my hunter in solo and over 2k rating already 😂

surreal barn
#

He lives

#

Back from SoD I see

#

Yeah I did the same on my hunter. It’s inflated but MM is kinda an easy climb rn

spring bough
#

I got the bow from rewards. About to raid it up and max it to 535 and pvp with it

#

Stacking atk speed increase and 7 ilvls over pvp wep should be nice

surreal barn
#

Yeah, but even the gladiator one pops people

spring bough
#

Had a match earlier that lasted not even a minute. Think I hit almost 200k dps lol. Rogues retired until war within 😂

#

Plus this trading post armor mog for the unrelenting justice probably the best set hunters ever had for looks lol

steel scarab
#

What's plague damage?

gleaming pawn
#

Poison + Shadow

steel scarab
#

Intriguing!

dapper chasm
#

PvE gear goes up to 535?

surreal barn
#

Some

#

What would you do without us

wintry dew
dapper chasm
#

No daggers or anything?

wintry dew
#

Negative

surreal barn
#

Actually yes to daggers

#

But like

#

It doesn’t go to 535

wintry dew
#

then my negative is correct

potent pivot
#

my god

wintry dew
#

Whispyr dooming = lost cause (its a joke)

#

But its still ALPHA, i bet a lot will change

potent pivot
#

for sure

#

but even the idea from a design standpoint

#

is horrid

wintry dew
#

there so many new ways we can get something even worse

#

heheheheh

potent pivot
#

just passive buffing everything you can

#

how boring can you get

gleaming pawn
#

Yep design wise it’s so bad

potent pivot
#

that tree won't make you pick 1 single different talent on your other trees

halcyon timber
surreal barn
#

Deathstalker is out

halcyon timber
#

Its fun just tested it after school

#

Lots of compounding stuff without hijacking your talents

surreal barn
#

How long is the mark

halcyon timber
#

Some people want meme shit but the tree is pretty nasty in practice

#

The mark lasts for like 20sec and stacks up from subterfuge and keeps stacking

surreal barn
#

That’s it

#

Assa will have a hard time getting it up there then

halcyon timber
#

Consuming it with 5 pts or higher adds a blast like the edge of night stuff the other channel kept belly aching about but it isn’t nutso

#

Can crit and counts off your amps

#

Assass can keep it up pretty easy now they acquired our without a trace .

#

Didn’t test assass for blindside 1 sec

surreal barn
#

That’s not easy to keep up imo

halcyon timber
#

Don’t think anyone’s trees are “supposed” to be constantly up

#

One sec checking assass for your question

spring bough
#

I’m wondering how that feint tree will do with outlaw. Have it up close to a 100%. Think it will be tanky as hell plus the added dmg from it helps w having to press it so often

halcyon timber
#

It will be fine, there will be a risk vs reward and that is up to the rogue to responsibly manage themselves and make good decisions

#

I dig trickster contrary to the unnecessary dooming. If they don’t change it off feint then so be it. Lots of crap can happen if it was attached to shiv and yadda yadda. Prob should stay on feint unless thousand cuts was improved to how it was on first alpha build

potent pivot
surreal barn
#

Exactly

potent pivot
#

as far as i can tell

surreal barn
#

Shiv needs to add it for assa

potent pivot
#

feels like it was designed for assa when it could Dance or something idk

halcyon timber
#

It is 30seconde

#

For the desthstalker mark and it refreshes on stacks

#

And applies to all ambushes for assassination

potent pivot
#

ye but once you use both of your vanishes you've got nothin

#

besides procs

#

and in pvp you're not gonna use vanish to ambush

halcyon timber
#

Wait a sec, blindside does not . So it is true stealth or vanish for now unless they see fit

#

The 3% damage talent is pretty nasty and the rupture talent stacking is effective

#

Stacks 10x does hefty damage and all amps for both affect it

#

Agreed, same time that is up to the devs to change it. They separated church and state and that is fine. Its back to encouraging restealths or adding another trigger for assass. Blindside would wagon wheel them into a talent and they gotta avoid doing that .

potent pivot
#

why do they need to avoid that

#

i want to use talents that haven't seen play in a long time personally

#

that's kinda how you shake things up

halcyon timber
#

Because that was one of their original goals and that is a choice of the rogue to make

#

Make it work in different ways yeah agreed, that is up to them . People can roll blindside if they want to , nothing stops them other than fixating on game 2 when the devs made game 1. Difficult situation as it comes down to, did they budget for assass to access it more frequently or did they bank on them combing other sources of damage to not rely on it as much. Agreed though

potent pivot
#

Idk, personally I dislike the design of the tree either way atm

halcyon timber
#

Depends what the devs made as a damage budget but mechanically yes that makes sense

potent pivot
#

The first and last nodes especially

halcyon timber
#

Not everything is going to be a greatest hit

potent pivot
#

But if one of the side nodes makes you pick a certain talent, I think that’d be good

#

Just choose not to use that node if you don’t like the talent it empowers etc

halcyon timber
#

Power comes from spec side, hero is for amping all around based on your decisions without causing dramatic shifts.

#

A “nudge” cumulatively instead of a drastic swing. There’s a lot here that can really really do some filthy hits without causing unnecessary increased talent friction.

#

@waxen meteor yes cloak is 5s still and the talent increases duration to 7s.

#

@surreal barn max is 9stacks btw of the mark. Encouraged to spend them frequently and the last talent gives you a surge of energy + pair with symbolic victory and you do proper dfa damage (40%)

potent pivot
#

The main thing I like in the tree is the DRs added to evasion and cloak

halcyon timber
#

Yeah reminds me of old cloak glyph

#

Think it was wrath , been forever

#

The auto attack talent actually does some nice little bonus damage cumulatively and and the mut / bs amps are actually pretty good when you talent in diff ways. Good positive feedback loop at least.

halcyon timber
halcyon timber
#

Also asked for more rogues to be invited.

halcyon timber
# jolly sierra they seems to buff it for next XP

Yes and it all works together for deathstalker. Trickster does not double dip with CDG and DFA as evisc/ dispatch is morphed into CDG. (Honestly prefer it that way for freedom of choice). Crit strikes were mathematically the same as well given x amps and stuff. So that is good.

waxen meteor
#

Just read the new talent, it’s a lot linked to numbers that will eventually determine if it will be good

#

Already smell some nerf

halcyon timber
#

Agreed lots of pieces

waxen meteor
#

sub part is so good for pvp

#

CB evis with 30% more dmg?

halcyon timber
#

Yeah it functions pretty well.

waxen meteor
#

Lucky if it’s 15% after 1 week of 11.0 live

halcyon timber
#

Didn’t notice if both parts of evisc did crit but physical always did

#

Dunno as 15% metagem will cut it hard

waxen meteor
#

I would love to see evenom starts to do some dmg

halcyon timber
#

Plus everyones new dr and reworks

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
#

I hit a 580k envenom for context

waxen meteor
#

I mean maybe just English problem, is this DR referring to Diminishing Return

halcyon timber
#

15% meta gem everyone will likely pick vs precog gem

waxen meteor
#

Or sth different here

halcyon timber
#

Damage reduction

waxen meteor
#

Oh I see

halcyon timber
#

Plus feint as an example for 35%

#

Combined and new cloak talent for 20%

#

Dunno , lots of other classes gained a lotta dr / shields/ othet stuff where it will probably be tuned to even out. Pvp tuning has happened as well.

waxen meteor
#

Will see

surreal barn
waxen meteor
#

Tbh I am not concerned about new things atm

#

Still have a long time to tune

halcyon timber
#

Maybe, maybe not as it may be a batched “what was strongest dr at the time x hit the rogue”

#

Might just be cloak takes priority depending on the source of damage thus saving elusiveness charge. Can’t test it atm though

waxen meteor
#

What has not changed and will not change is if sub has dmg it will be nerfed

#

So

halcyon timber
#

Yeah as always

waxen meteor
#

Don’t get hyped

halcyon timber
#

I don’t get hyped and i expect reasonable tuning. Not hehe 1 shot or we are bad if not hehe

#

Warriors randomly gaining second wind and stuff will be powerful

#

And metagem will also be strong, not including armor class, team / personal drs etc..

surreal barn
#

Oh damn

steel scarab
#

Yeah thanks SS I'll play against 2 havocs and a ret, sounds super fun

surreal barn
#

Second wind is back?

#

FFS

waxen meteor
#

Haha I am too old to follow other classes

halcyon timber
#

They randomly gain it in colossus as a choice node when taking dmg

waxen meteor
#

I am going to be rogue + whatever class that is OP or getting orange gear

halcyon timber
#

Dh became more of a meteor . Just aoe dmg to everyone and ret

surreal barn
#

lol I read the DH tree

#

Seems pretty similar to what we have to deal with now

halcyon timber
#

Yeah they are just a big meteor on alpha . Put their behind in the ground fast or you are screwed.

#
  • Monk also heals a lot, deals a lot of damage, is probably more mobile than dh and is very hard to catch. ( prob hits the hardest next to ret)
  • rogue feels somewhere in the upper middle.
  • Warrior is pretty dang durable and Dk and they both chunk pretty hard.
  • Shaman and druids def hybrid heal a lot and can whoop your butt if you’re not careful (ive been running around in war mode a lot)
#

If people actually use their buttons instead of huffing home depot paint, classes feel pretty even on alpha (feels like cataclysm/ mop in a way)

steel scarab
#

Is Elemental Lariat nerfed in PVP?

surreal barn
#

Yes

steel scarab
#

I guess I just make a second BSL then?

#

Was thinking the neckpiece, the Torc of Passed Time

surreal barn
#

Yeah

steel scarab
#

aye, will give it a shot. thanks

grave basin
#

Also there's no dampening with duels

halcyon timber
grave basin
#

How do we feel about death stalker

#

Feels like the entire tree just reads exactly the same

#

Your X now does plague damage

halcyon timber
#

I played it for a bit but need more time with it. In combat, it feels like a snowball with the plague damage (shadow nature dmg). As time goes on, the snowball gains mass and can take out a house if given enough room. It has a snappy punch effect in several ways that are customizable to the rogue given their choice of specialization talents chosen. Lots of room for creative usage on things limited to the rogue’s thought process.

grave basin
#

Sub doesn't really have time to let things ramp though

#

The 60 energy seems weird too

halcyon timber
#

Agreed however in the thick of things, on demand talents such as symbolic victory and planning around Darkest night are going to be how we get use out of it.

grave basin
#

You'll get it when the person it in full stun Dr or when you have no more dance

#

How does the entire thing no utilise shadow dance once ?

#

We should be getting energy during or right before it to pool not after our go is over

#

Also doesn't interact with garrote at all for assas

#

🤌

halcyon timber
#

That goes back to not making something the main hero and taking over a spec.

grave basin
#

Then you risk trying to be doing too many things at once and failing at all of em

halcyon timber
#

The energy after and the amp “could” be used into a second dance and dfa . Lots of what ifs though

#

Not meant to be a 321 hehe

#

Type deal

#

Not making a wod dfa here but finality /shiv/ amp psn / zoldyck etc and other stuff tacked on could make a very mean evisc/ envenom

waxen meteor
#

80 games, SP 2075 lol

#

including first 20 games completely not knowing what i was doing, and with s2 talent pff

grave basin
#

How sore is your bussy

waxen meteor
#

honestly not that sore

#

but obviously if healer is a sub200 rating one it's miserable

grave basin
#

I've had back to back healer diff lobbies before panda remix

#

Was rough

#

Kinda just letting mmr inflate while I collect bronze in this meme version of worlowolo

waxen meteor
#

it's kinda already inflated

grave basin
#

Ye but I'm so casual I'm not even 70 yet lol

#

Got my 2x shadow pan set/3x dark shaman set and now going for sha of anger mount then finally pig sticker

jolly sierra
#

im leveling up the warr in remix to get all cosmetics

#

got like 20k already

waxen meteor
#

@jolly sierra if you level normally via quests and some dungeon, will you get enough coins for toys/mog?

grave basin
#

I did that and landed around 30k coins

#

On my hunter

#

Currently at 64 and got 36k banked with about 12k spent

grave basin
#

I only completed two zones fully with the tour of X achievement

jolly sierra
#

just dont upgrade stuff unless is w discount

grave basin
#

Don't upgrade anything while leveling tbh

jolly sierra
#

u can

#

but if it costs 10

grave basin
#

I did do one normal SOO yestd

#

It took SO LONG

#

I swear almost 4 hours

jolly sierra
#

how tf a nm is so long

#

see? it costs like shit

#

u just need to lot shit from dungeons

grave basin
#

Fun fact, if you use the ward of salvation meta gem and garrosh MCs you

#

He gets healed to 100%

#

Happened yestd to my group

#

Also the raid itself is just way too big

#

Like 13 bosses for a fresh run

waxen meteor
#

there's no need to do raid or sth if my only goal is for mog/toys right?

jolly sierra
jolly sierra
#

unless u wanna garrosh heirlooms

grave basin
#

Just do your daily dungeon/scenario/lfr

#

By the time you're 70 you should have close to 100k bronze

#

I mean you need around 1.6m to buy EVERYTHING

#

So depends on your goals

steel scarab
#

@surreal barn is it possible to wear two pieces of upgraded bullion gear in pvp?

waxen meteor
#

You can wear as many as you want

steel scarab
#

That seems unhinged

waxen meteor
#

Only few pieces are needed

#

Others are not useful

gilded gulch
#

Most are not useful in pvp

#

outside of the two fire damage rings

waxen meteor
#

Just two rings and Lego basically

#

Few weapons are minor upgrade like for us

gilded gulch
#

thankfully dh’s bis weapon

#

is from m+ vault

waxen meteor
#

Yeah but that weapon anyway isn’t that good

gilded gulch
#

its only marginally better

#

like most of the pieces tbh

waxen meteor
#

Rare special effect for single hit dmg

gilded gulch
#

like theres a vers mast dagger in raid which is nice

grave basin
#

Do rogues even use the fire ring ?

sick wasp
#

yeah

#

but idk,i feel like its limited triggers for it

#

if it procs it procs

#

unless u are into shadowflame embelishment tech and random proc it

wintry dew
#

Thoughts?

#

No idea if that goes live

gleaming pawn
#

There could not be a worse mount, let alone for pvp

#

The mog stuff like enchant getting lowered makes sense when you look at the forums and Reddit of people complaining about needing to get high rating to get that season’s special cosmetics

wintry dew
#

I honestly wouldn't mind it since I'm a fucking casual

gleaming pawn
#

Bumping the cloak to 2100 though makes zero sense

wintry dew
#

1800 to 1950 is a way easier grind than 1800-2100

wintry dew
gleaming pawn
#

Was there a separate cloak appearance besides the one that is part of the elite set?

#

If not, you’ll now have to get 2100 to get the set completed. Which as a filthy casual myself, is garbage

#

But if it’s some other special cloak in addition to the normal elite set then I couldn’t be bothered to care what rating it is

wintry dew
grave basin
#

Diff cloak

#

Elite weapon was 2.1 in SL

#

That makes more sense than dog ass cloak at 2.1

dapper chasm
#

I love how I can AFK queue this game, but even doing 5-10 games a day, shuffle is freakin slow

#

So many 3-3 games with a 0-6 healer

#

And you push hard on that last game with the 0-5 healer, but he's given up on life

#

And let's not forget the cherry on top - games where someone is on your team twice and loses. You don't mind because you know it'll be free wins when you face them

#
  • They then leave
#

The game calculates that your current 0-2 is a good indicator for how the rest would have gone and slaps a nice -points on you

wintry dew
#

You stop when you reach at least 2400

Amazing, I was complaining about 0-6 healer games and on the last match, our shaman alt-f4s

#

-32 for that

#

Just died at the gate like a dog

#

Holy shit, I looked at the screenshot again

#

The shaman GAINED rating

wanton breach
grave basin
#

Rip

dapper chasm
#

I think I hit a threshold rating where people are generally pretty good but every game will have... Steve

#

Man, fuck Steve

grave basin
#

Isn't 1900 starting mmr right now

#

Like for a fresh toon

dapper chasm
#

I dunno, I've been bouncing around that

#

Started at 0

grave basin
#

That's cr

dapper chasm
#

Don't come at me with your letters

grave basin
#

Mmr goes up as inflation goes up

#

I think you're around the point of people playing alts/new people in shuffle

#

So no one has attachment to their rating

#

They just bail

dapper chasm
#

So where does that leave the warrior like me?

wintry dew
#

At 1900

grave basin
#

Doesn't mean anything to you

#

You're playing at your skill level

#

It just so happens to be entry level

wintry dew
dapper chasm
#

I think I'm somewhere at 2600-2800

#

I'm just held back by all these new classes

#

And moves

grave basin
#

And letters

dapper chasm
#

Fuck those too

wintry dew
#

XD

dapper chasm
#

I don't like watching guides either

#

So it has to be trial and error

grave basin
#

For mmr to be that inflated is wild

#

It's good though

#

Better than dead season

dapper chasm
#

Maybe 1900 is just where the great people are?

grave basin
#

Yea like that great shaman

dapper chasm
#

He could have DC'd

#

Or died

grave basin
dapper chasm
#

Or hell, anything

#

The way I see it, I have 2 goals

#

Build the best UI

#

Be the best sub rogue in EU

#

I worry shuffle might not help with either

dapper chasm
#

Yes, but I have HOPE

grave basin
#

From what it's worth it looks like the druid was about to go 6 0

#

And everyone was gonna get 3 3

grave basin
#

So the shaman shouldn't have left

dapper chasm
#

Holy shit

grave basin
#

He would have gotten his 3rd win with his round with you

#

And the rdru

dapper chasm
#

And thus?

grave basin
#

Maybe some people are just brain-dead

dapper chasm
#

We have reached the core of my pain

#

Yes

#

And those people hold my rating hostage, the rating I base my self worth on

#

How can I look my kids in the eyes?

grave basin
#

Tank to 900 cr and just 6 0 every round

dapper chasm
#

Zanaken doesn't smurf

grave basin
#

Be the chad your kid wants you to be

dapper chasm
#

I think I am still hanging at people on my skill level at 2k

#

Thus 2k is the baseline for skilled players

#

The logic is firm

tough spruce
#

Keep going

#

I sure as shit aint now

I'll climb back up later when I'm less mad

Yo @tawny kestrel - dwarf or DI dwarf if I had to pick

dwarf is defensive

dark iron is both

rogue, I am making one in this remix

tawny kestrel

ah well then i guess normal dwarf

since it’s just pve right

It’s still for pvp later though

So you went from being an surv hunter

So sub rogue

from victim spec to victim spec

also ive mained sub rog for 10x longer than sv lol

wintry dew
#

I was joking due to your profile picture change hehe

grave basin

yea man i cba about hunters in tww

#

btw royal make sure you kill every world boss

#

wintry dew
#

Yeah I know but I cba, I'm slowly getting the stuff I need

#

All I need now is the garrosh axe heirloom (will get it today) and more mounts

#

And HC raids for title

grave basin
#

will bronze farm itself?

stoic spruce
#

good point

#

it hasnt been 24 hours so I should be good

i realised that theres no point grinding these achievements first

#

one full clear of SOO is like 6k bronze

and you get juiced up on threads

and you get tusks

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa buddy just need the pig sticker

dapper chasm
#

You PvE'rs sicken me

stoic spruce
#

I thought the same thing until my Main Gauche procced a proc that procs a proc and set off a chain reaction killing boss adds and sending the boss from 78% to 0%

#

like

#

each time a mob died, it made an explosion and it stacked. There were about 11 mobs that were stacked on the boss

I wish the girls in school could hear you now

Mount that is

wintry dew
#

there are a few 38500 mounts

but sha of anger is the hardest one for me to get, thats why i bought it

#

you might be wondering "but why?"

#

answer: I can't get what i don't farm

gilded gulch
#

on df prepatch

wintry dew
#

Yep exactly

#

i must have a total kills on Sha below 20

#

in all chars combined

#

which doesnt matter

stoic spruce
#

You have a lot of favorites

waxen meteor
#

Kinda funny how i did in this lobby

#

On ret alt

#

melee lobby with 2 rogues

gleaming pawn
#

Yeah ret alt lobbies are fun

#

If Ret had an MS it would be amazing

waxen meteor
#

dmg is really high

gleaming pawn
#

Sadly doing all of that damage and CC doesn’t always mean anything when your team is full of morons and/or you don’t have an MS to make your damage potent

#

As ret you’re just kinda pumping damage until the healer screws up

waxen meteor
#

yeah in melee lobbies it's much easier for ret

#

since most melees have MS

#

so i just zug

#

but honestly i am not expecting such dmg gap

gleaming pawn
#

Do you run 2 piece or 4 piece with the higher damage finishers. I much prefer how 4 piece feels with 1 judgement and bigger TV

waxen meteor
#

I just swapped to 4 pc and 4 spender build

#

this week

#

that's the first lobby

gleaming pawn
#

I swear it gaps people even more than 2 piece NA standard

waxen meteor
#

but honestly i think it's good to use 4 spender in melee games, when it's against big kiter just stay with 3 spender

gleaming pawn
#

And the damage I do surprises people a lot more

waxen meteor
#

like against voker/frost etc.

#

that you cannot connect all time

wintry dew
stoic spruce
#

Dawwwwwwfeelsloveman

tiny maple
#

Just switched to Assa. Is the reason why people dont use 4 set because it breaks cc?

#

or stats?

wintry dew
#

poor damage

#

you gain more by getting mastery

jolly sierra
#

tier envenom does very crap damage and forces you to change your gameplay by priorizing that spell

tiny maple
#

Makes sense thanks

waxen meteor
#

4 tier does a lot dmg in pve but almost nothing in pvp

#

could be even a bug

gleaming pawn
#

It’s so dumb that it’s so heavily nerfed in pvp, and always has been. Because the tier set does a ton of damage in pve

waxen meteor
#

but i guess after so long it won't be changed anyway

gleaming pawn
#

And I will die on this hill, if any given spec functions better and does more damage with not using 4 piece, that’s a complete design and balance failure

#

Like Ret has been argued that going 2 set is best, or even no-set and just full Vers/Mast, and that’s just unacceptable to me

waxen meteor
#

for other specs, haste might not be the best, but it always contributes some

#

like at least it reduces gcd

tiny maple
#

Makes sense. Does it break CC? Im still getting fully geared and happens to have 4 set from dabbleing into outlaw in the start of the season

sick wasp
#

was a white one,cant recall the name

grave basin
#

You can use any freedom pet with ms

#

Aka rodent or raptor

#

The reason why most people don't recommend the undead raptor is the huge number of rets that spam shuffle

#

And wake of ashes stuns undead pets for 5 seconds

#

So if you forget to change pet (which happens alot) you're inting yourself

I obersving a lot of assas now are going 30% vers, 80% mastery and the rest for crit; Have anyone tested same but with haste instead of crit?

wintry dew
#

You can see there most people aren't really going for defined %

#

It's just what gear gives

#

And 30% vers seems a bit low

#

But it is indeed what the top50 shuffle are using

#

Around 80% mastery, 33% versa

silk tundra
#

correct, though shuffle isnt really representative for my purpose because in shuffle u always wanna run kingsbane build(with or without carnage);

restive rain
#

Pres/WW lf Rogue to push glad this weekend. Either sub or outlaw. If interested or know someone on this channel who might be lmk. I'm the pres, very high xp

wintry dew
#

Maybe I'm reading the wrong info idk

silk tundra
wintry dew
#

3v3, not shuffle

silk tundra
#

my point is not about how much versa/mastery u wanna get, but about secondary stats. mostly ppl now go for crit because it's more versatile and fits both shuffle and 3s - u get more CP from FoK, more crit dmg from garrote and higher crit chance for KB. I aim specifically for playin 3s in assa/affli with no-kingsbane build and curious if putting points to haste will increase overall pressure.

wintry dew
#

You could try asking shadenox

silk tundra
#

he runs crit this season and most of the time play with fire mage

#

i asked, he said "maybe, i im not sure" 😄

wintry dew
#

Probably because haste hasn't been a thing for quite some seasons now

silk tundra
#

this season we have more stats so it may be a good idea

#

i know Myk plays something similar to what I said, but he hides his gear

wintry dew
#

Conquest is not capped anymore so try your luck my friend, in case you can't find not info on it

why doesnt have play BE rogue

he got banned in literally every single class discord

eventually bought a boost

kept saying he was duelist steezo and got banned KEK

then bought a boost to elite in s2 i think

i rlly like duelist title tbh

he brags about it

openly admits to paying for boosts

then when people shit on him

"it's a harrasing world"

what do u expect

now he made his own discord

I have lived amongst the Americans. Their entire culture is built around their penises. It's funny to say they are small. It's funny to say they are big. I've been at parties where Americans held bottles, pencils, thermoses in front of themselves and called out, 'Hey, look at me. I'm Mr. So-and-So Dick. I've got such-as-such for a penis.' I never saw it fail to get a laugh.
