Now we’re pumping 😂😂

twin quest
#

for rogue/mage 2s as assass, should i run wound poison AND hemotoxin? or juts one

broken otter
#

Assassination wants 2pc Chest/legs? Right?

keen magnet
#

does sub use 4set in pvp?

wintry dew
keen magnet
#

can you tell me the pros and cons?

#

i havent played sub in a while

wintry dew
#

less mastery if you go 4set

keen magnet
#

just wanna get a feel for what everyone is doing

wintry dew
#

but the cons i've no idea

keen magnet
#

less mastery is the con i'd think haha

wintry dew
#

yeah

#

my bad

#

typing is hard

keen magnet
#

does the damage from 4 set make up for it though?

wintry dew
#

and legit, some use and some do not

keen magnet
#

right

#

ill get a 2 set first and check the 4 set later

broken otter
#

I'm playing Sin in BGs and it has to be the most frustrating PvP experience I've had in WoW

#

just 90% of my time in CC or waddling around

#

dying nonstop cause I'm fucking glass

grave basin
#

Sub works better for bgs

#

Good thing the gear translates over

broken otter
#

Yeah, I loved playing Sub. Probably gonna give that a go, when I'm less tilted.

I'm an Arcane main. I just picked my Rogue up again and saw Sub wasn't really being played, and that everyone seemed to go Sin

#

Pikaboo and Nahj even left it for Outlaw

#

but I hate Outlaw

grave basin
#

They don't play bgs

broken otter
#

Fair

grave basin
#

Outlaw's damage profile isnt too hot for what rogues are best doing in BGs

#

Which is sniping off targets and nodes

broken otter
#

I'm gonna have to try Sub again, tomorrow. I'm way to tilted to keep playing today

grave basin
#

Tbh isn't too bad either

#

If you're trying to brawl 1v9 you're gonna have a bad time no matter the spec

#

Assa

broken otter
#

More like 3v3 for the size of the fight

#

give or take

#

y'know BG nodes

#

but I just cant get over how fucking squishy I am as assa

#

I mean I'm glass as Arcane too, but I'm super slippery to make up for it.

grave basin
#

3v3 you should be fine

#

Evasion and dismantle cloak and kidney are all relatively short cds

#

But in general assa is the squishiest of the 3 specs and there's not much you can do about it

#

Since it doesn't have cdr

dapper chasm
#
  • It literally doesn't do shit either way
#

You have a job as sub, and neither option has a compelling enough pro/con. You're aiming for consistency in PvP. The 4set has extra combo points during a time you probably already have shadow blades up, but you crit more often. The mastery means that when you do crit, it matters more. Slightly more.

#

I thought, ok, the 4set seems to edge out on consistency. Tried it, and it just feels the same

nocturne viper
#

What items are best to craft for assa?

neat dove
#

ive seen a lot of people use the engi helm but idk what tinker they put into it, is it the breath of neltharion?

untold remnant
#

Tinker doesn’t work in PvP.

neat dove
#

oh so you just take engi googles for the stats

twin burrow
#

They are calling these buffs? What. 15 percent backstab and rupture damage. Uhhh. What

#

Am I missing something

twin quest
#

Just coming to say. Day 2 of assassin rogue..... i suck ass so badly still lmfao. My damage is so low, my survivability is meh, my cc is okay.

All the questions i have asked and all the answers you have all provided have been very helpful though. So ty.

upper oak
#

What spec you guys recomend, I swich between all 3 on pve so im familiar with all of them, but for pvp got no idea

twin burrow
#

Honestly I would get good at sub in 2s first then assa for 3s. I personally find outlaw too flamboyant. Assa is easy to counter and when sub is strong it dominates. I just think being good at sub will translate to the other specs. It's the most meticulous and has small windows where you need to understand your combos. Outlaw and assa kinda just pump. Sub you play like a rogue, so it's good to develop that play style. And again, when sub is strong it's OP. In the right hands

Is shadowmeld off the GCD?

That's pretty strong, does it have invincibility frames?

OOF i have no idea actually

It's a slippery slope, but you brought a bathing suit

ofc i should be disgusting u know

that is a dirty trick u know?

"have mercy"
"i'm family!"

So I talked to the npc to "mercenary" as horde in queues. I got alliance every time still

You know what outlaw needs?

#

Death Grip

I see you typing

#

I'm not debating

#

Also

#

Buff poison knife for assa

#

I want my fantasy to be a bladeslinger

#

That's so cool

I don’t think it will make them much better but you’ll see more in lobbies

Crackshot but poison knife

spring bough

not unless the horde somehow gets flipped from being the dominant faction

#

you can only merc to the alliance because their queues are longer and more people are needed

spring bough
#

does gouge cancel out bleeds for sin?

gleaming pawn
#

no, your bleeds will break your gouge

spring bough
#

ight so just using it as an interupt then lol

gleaming pawn
#

in shuffle or in some BG situations you may or may not have bleeds on the healer anyway because of CC or them just playing back

#

so you usually can use gouge as CC just fine, except in 1v1 situations

spring bough
#

i was getting yelled at by a mage to not gouge healer lmao

#

like who tf else am i gonna use it on

gleaming pawn
#

it DRs their sheep, that's why

#

in that case, you'd want to setup a kill window by using Kidney on the healer and cheap shot on your kill target

#

so the mage can sheep the healer off your kidney

grave basin
#

Do I use dance at the end of kingsbane

#

To get the maximum hit with nightstalker

#

Or just send it with dance KB

surreal barn
#

Gouge still good for chains

outlaw feeling worse than sub in RSS rn?

#

atleast sub i can cc the fuck out of everyone

steel scarab
#

We need a fucking petition to make it so that the dots added by deathmark aren't removed by BOP

#

That is so unbelievably fucking brainlessly stupid

#

"Here's your 2 minute cooldown ability that requires a lot of setup, oh btw, a class just counters all of it in a gcd"

#

"Oh and btw, one of the classes with that ability is ret, the most overplayed fucking dps in the game"

#

"Oh and btw, god help you if you're against ret/holy/x"

Don't press deathmark

Although every bronze gain I get now will be towards garrosh items

ill do the same

but tbh im tired of soo

dapper chasm
#

Those paladins have gone too far

steel scarab
#

Good thing yours is on a ~30 second cd

dapper chasm
#

I know it's "controversial" to say a church went too far, but...

jolly sierra

i would need 12 more bones and im done

dapper chasm
#

Your mother can still hit another target

#

And often does

wintry dew
#

Actually she can

#

She's a fine lady

steel scarab
#

@dapper chasm also, they can't counter your burst if you have your target trapped in a Duel

#

So this is just a wild take

dapper chasm
#

What if it's the paladin in duel?

#

Now all you've done is exposed your small-minded thinking to the class

dapper chasm

A lot of good tmog

And Brag 2 new titles

#

For 2 weeks of work I get a holiday to somewhere hot

#

And get to avoid it, because fuck hot places

#

I've been thinking about this deeply and have come to a resounding conclusion -

#

True men, be they boys or girls, are PvP players

#

None of this dragon shite, no daily dungeons, no whatever "mythics" are

#

Just pure man-on-man action

True man waste their time in queus

I can't babysit this game like I could when I was 16

#

should i use fanofknives or mutilate in SS as aoe assa spec ?

#

ofc mutilate when not trying to remove CC, but when facing 1/2 targets ?

nova viper
#

My guild is 90% pve and RP enyojers

#

2 people play only for 1800 and transmog

#

Im only one who play for playing

outer sky
#

anyone else here play a lot of alts and notice how us rogues are like weirdly squishy? I spammed some SS on my rogue and on my monk, both 528 ilvl both obv wearing leather and as a monk I can stay in the fight a lot more easily whereas on my rogue I just get fucking trucked

#

Why is that

#

like every second 1/3rd of my health is gone

#

I mean I'm feinting with elusiveness and straight dying with BM trinket up

#

Supposedly assass is "OP" but I'm dying to passive damage outside of CDs

broken otter
#

Yeah, I feel like I'm constantly getting cucked as assa

#

I'm just constantly eating instant cast CCs or waddling around

#

Gonna try Sub again in a minute.

#

I can't be assed w/ this shit

#

Like as soon as I come out of stealth (in BGs) I just eat nonstop CC chains and disarms after those

#

I'd have more fun watching some stranger plow my wife.

#

That being said, the few times I actually had a healer healing me, I had fun.

#

but solo play, i just cant do it

outer sky
#

I mean I just dont get wy

#

why*

#

same armor

sick wasp
#

bgs dont matter

outer sky
#

and as rogue I basically have a perma 20% wall

broken otter
#

All I play is BGs

sick wasp
#

the only bgs that could matter are rbgs but those are also less impactful

outer sky
#

idk how people are playing with cheat death. It doesnt even work half the time and without feint spam I'd be dead in the opener every game

sick wasp
#

then play hunter

#

or mage

#

or lock

#

the king of bgs is hunter

#

period

outer sky
#

Nah its druid

broken otter
#

I main Arcane

sick wasp
#

sure,if u just delete hunter of existence

#

its druid

outer sky
#

a hunter can't solo cap a base

sick wasp
#

how the F does that even mean anything

outer sky
#

so in RBGs

#

there are certain maps called "base maps"

sick wasp
#

ik what base maps are

#

and ik how solo cap works

outer sky
#

well the objective is to take those bases

sick wasp
#

also no one risks a solo cap

outer sky
#

and if you hold them long enough

sick wasp
#

there are two ppl that cap/counter cap

outer sky
#

you eventually win the game

sick wasp
#

💀

#

this is not 2012 btw

outer sky
#

if 1 person is sitting a base you can send a druid to cap and eventually he will get it after 1 clone DR unless someone peels

#

super powerful

sick wasp
#

ofc it will happen

outer sky
#

plus they can run flags decently

sick wasp
#

unless the druid gets caught and killed

#

but a runner

outer sky
#

theyre just good on every map

sick wasp
#

and u lose

#

no they are not

#

and u cant solo cap vs a hunter

outer sky
#

why not? Roar>Clone= trinket

#

next DR

#

bash>clone

sick wasp
#

ye and the pets are nowhere

outer sky
#

his pet

#

will fuck yu

sick wasp
#

and the hunter has no traps or scatter or feign

outer sky
#

he can't scatter while he's roared or bashed

#

druid is trolling if he's casting clone in your un CCd face

sick wasp
#

and u cant roar if he isnt guarding uner the flag

#

its literally impossible

#

u got no time to cap

#

give it a rest

outer sky
#

It's still the best base capping class

#

no other class even has the option

sick wasp
#

balance with a rogue together

#

ild argue its the best ye

#

no class is better

#

coz there is no solo class capping this time around

outer sky
#

sub rogue+anything can cap on anyone

sick wasp
#

hello nice to meet u there

#

ofc it is

outer sky
#

you just stun lock them and they have to trinket it and when they do blind>gouge

#

the 2nd class doesnt even matter

#

they just have to press cap

sick wasp
#

anything can work,druid is better than anything

#

plz read a bit

outer sky
#

thats what I said

#

best base capping spec

sick wasp
#

im not talking solo

#

im talking paired with a rogue though

#

so we arent talking the same

#

thats why i said read a bit

outer sky
#

Why would the 2nd class matter if the rogue is doing all the CC

#

Druids click the flag better?

sick wasp
#

coz u can switch ccs on drs

#

and cap even vs 2 ppl

outer sky
#

Even if they both have trinket?

sick wasp
#

yes even if

#

but its not always

#

it depends

outer sky
#

Yeah not on a pally or something

#

Or anything with a pet

sick wasp
#

u can literally kill a pet

#

if u are two

broken otter
#

Yeah, so I just did a BG as Subtlety. That was much better.

#

I had actual agency and didn't scream at my monitor.

#

Just gonna stick to Subtlety.

outer sky
#

You're supposed to play sub/assass based on your role in the RBG

#

if you're teamfighting, play assass. If you're base sitting, play sub

#

Sub is arguably the worst team fight dps spec in the game

#

assass is really good though

#

when in doubt go assass though because assass can base sit better than sub can team fight

broken otter
#

Oh, I mean I'm a filthy casual. I only run randoms by myself.

#

It's my favorite (only thing I do) thing in WoW

outer sky
#

Why not play rated?

#

Its way more fun

#

being in disc with 9 other people talking strats

broken otter
#

I go for Rival from time to time for the xmogs, but I just don't like the sweat.

#

I did play some RBGs with my guild early DF S2, but we had bad turnout a few weeks in and didn't go from there

#

My guild mostly just do M+ and Raids (I don't) nowadays

broken otter
#

Where can I find an updated Assassination PvP guide (I know I'm a gluten for punishment). WoWHead still has Sanguine Blades listed as an active ability.

I'm looking for like opener rotations and such, not just itemization/talents like Murlok

#

I just checked the pins, didn't see anything there, either.

Pretty much everytime someones goes like "i need to learn assa", shadenox is mentioned

jolly sierra

sick wasp
#

doubt its true but wanted to testify

surreal barn
#

Interesting theory

#

I feel like each round played is logged as it finishes though

broken otter
#

Okay, I take it back. Still super squishy, but I'm actually kinda enjoying Sin now

#

and when I'm actually getting decent heals, it's super fun

#

Hey my buddy is starting to play ret, and I can either play feral with him or sub rogue. Just curious if there are any rogues in here that play with a ret and if scoobydoo cleave is still competitive with the current meta/ladder

sick wasp
#

scooby doo in general is in a good spot rn

#

should try it

#

competitive idk,depends,was always into the team is above the comp but on the high end comp matters as well

Don't say shadenox 3 times in the mirror

Not financial advice (but you might gain MMR)

why are so many assa rogues using seal of fileal duty? how does it even proc?

#

Mongo mastery

#

I dont get where the fire dmg comes from

dapper chasm
#

And I thought I played a lot of BGs...

surreal barn
#

Just upgrade it to 535 and enjoy the extra mastery

fallen scaffold
#

eh i suppose

#

im good on da haste though

hexed pollen
#

dis the fire proc one, other one has more stats

#

proc from the helm enchant

fallen scaffold
#

i thought helm enchant was disabled in pvp

hexed pollen
#

it is why dont use it pvp use the other ring for mastery

#

he sounded confused

steel scarab
#

Does the trinket of adaptation not work in arena?

I just raceswapped to human for fun and it... does not seem to trigger?

#

i went in LFR at 492 and absolutely wrecked the damage lol

#

makes me wanna keep pluggin away at the ilvl and see how nasty it can get

steel scarab
#

Since this game does an absolutely dogshit job of explaining anything

#

Can someone explain how the human racial interacts with the Adaptation thing

surreal barn
#

Never used it with adaptation tbh, just used it with the normal pvp trink

waxen meteor
#

Oh adaptation thing

surreal barn
#

It puts it on a 1.5 min cd so you can essentially get out of stuns 30 seconds faster

waxen meteor
#

Anyway human racial has a share CD of 90 second with pvp trinket

#

I think it’s just either manual or automatic one

#

Human adv is probably not about the 30 seconds earlier. It’s more about you can have both manual and passive primary stat trinket on

surreal barn
#

Outside of rogue I agree

waxen meteor
#

Yeah in rogue it’s not really a big adv.

surreal barn
#

As rogue… keep the on use medallion

#

Like, I wish my hunter was human lol

waxen meteor
#

Human adv was big in old days when pve trinket was a thing

surreal barn
#

I’d use the hell out of two dps trinks

waxen meteor
#

Now those trinkets do not make a day and night difference

#

Like having a random trigger primary stat trinket (and haste as main stat) isn’t adding too much

#

Probably not better than manual orc burst

waxen meteor
#

Especially BMSurebud

steel scarab
#

the problem is

#

2 dps trinkets is never possible since they made the set bonus on the 2 pvp trinkets irreplaceable

#

so it's just like

waxen meteor
steel scarab
#

they need to rework that racial

#

because it literally does nothing

surreal barn
#

It removes stun

#

On use

waxen meteor
#

I picked human priest basically for lore, then I realize human racial cannot replace trinket for healer at all it’s even a nerf to myself

#

So …

#

I just swapped to SP pfff

steel scarab
#

Right but it shares a cooldown with the regular trinket

waxen meteor
#

Yeah so you don’t use regular trinket

#

You use double primary stat pvp trinket

#

That’s what human allows you to do

#

It’s basically for casters nowadays

#

Lots of lock/sp/mage as human

steel scarab
#

double primary stat trinket?

#

like the one that gives you hp on use?

#

ok, that could be somewhat useful

waxen meteor
#

That could be an option too

#

Normally you use the haste with random primary stat trigger

#

Along with the crit manual primary stat boost trinket (the one we use)

#

For casters they like to use the honor one, to have double haste stat

steel scarab
#

so they don't use adaptation at all?

surreal barn
#

I’ve only ever seen outlaw run adaptation at high mmr and it was when they were practically immortal

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

adaptation in most contexts is a bait trinket

waxen meteor
#

It’s so garbage

jolly sierra
#

u can blind a guy, bait it

true, gotta lock it in

untold remnant
#

Assa is so god damn hard man.. as soon as people train you. You actually lose ALL pressure

#

I really need to learn this shit

#

Also I hate playing with a mage in solo shuffle who keeps polymorphing the targets you bleed. Like I apply bleeds he polymorphs

steel scarab
#

Yeah playing with a mage is doubly awful. You apply full bleeds, he rips them off with polymorph. He applies polymorph, you immediately break it with Fan of Knives

#

It's truly awful. And God forbid you try to talk about a plan pregame, you get like 6 seconds for discussion and almost nobody responds anyway

#

Ditto for playing against a lobby with two paladins or a survival hunter. You just can't apply pressure when there are multiple instant cast gcds that cancel all your bleeds at once

untold remnant
#

Ye, and every other lobby above 2200 has a Ret 😛

#

It's so awful

surreal barn
#

Oh I mean yeah you’re gonna need to swap for 10 secs

#

Hpal does kinda stink though

#

But if you keep them dotted through their sacs they exhaust their defensives pretty fast

steel scarab
#

It's hard to pump when one dps is kiting you and the other is a melee chasing you around

#

Example: frost mage + monk

#

Is probably my nightmare scenario

#

I would WAY rather fight 2 melee

#

Or 2 ranged

surreal barn
#

We go mage in this battle

#

Cleave monk for a potential kill but mage is who you kinda want locked

steel scarab
#

Right, absolutely agreed, but meanwhile the monk is just beating the ever loving shit out of you

surreal barn
#

I mean yeah but pressuring him on LoS usually has him back off

#

A good monk sucks

steel scarab
#

I actually find for frost you absolutely need Death from above, but the bizarre cast animation and it requiring CP makes it so awkward to use

surreal barn
#

DFA smacks in a few comps

#

When it follows their blink or alter time it’s very satisfying

surreal barn

Hey, so, what's the deal with Slice and Dice as an Assassination Rogue?

Is there a place I'm using it, in the opener? Am I just using it randomly, when I have extra CPs? Or do I just not bother with it, in PvP at all?

Right now, I've been opening with Cheap Shot -> Garrote -> Shiv -> Rupture -> Mut/Envenom....

waxen meteor
#

I think you may miss slice and dice buff quite a bit in game

broken otter
#

Word. Thank you.

potent pivot
#

lower prio at the very beginning of a match typically, but you shouldn't need to waste the combo points on it if you try to keep it up with envenom

#

that just kinda depends on where you're at with your bleeds, if you can envenom at the time or not etc

how do you guys counter a ret

Kite their cds and pick your shots when you can

sharp sierra

you can't kite them though

#

their ranged melee

#

everything touches you lol

halcyon timber
#

Agreed to an extent, make them chase . 20 yards be damned .

#

Also depends on terrain and such

sharp sierra
#

man its so crazy how op they are

#

yea thats true

halcyon timber
#

Shadow step to a teammate and just stop their damage a lot etc

sharp sierra
#

oh i mean 1v1

halcyon timber
#

They bop / sac you swap etc .

#

Oh yeah out in the open field. You use whatever cover and concealment you can. Gouge / blind avenging wrath etc

#

Pre feint hoj etc

#

Small things add up and just be aa disruptive as possible. Watching for when they aggressively bop and stuff. Just depends

would feint do anything tho? they dont use AOE

other then woa

halcyon timber
#

Elusiveness shaves 20% off

Take a swig of vial on the run and burn out whatever cd they are trying to shove then get right back in and be a pain in the behind

sharp sierra

yep killed one 3 times in a ss lol

but they were never the problem

#

ret only one gave me troubles

outer sky
#

rets kinda just fall over once you get their bubble

#

I guess theyre a bit tankier if you're not playing with a mage, shaman, or priest

#

because then you dont have BoP purge

waxen meteor
#

Against ret takes more than yourself

#

We cannot push bubble out by ourselves in solo, it takes DPS teammate and healer to help

#

It's like if you can't make him bubble in first 30 seconds, more than likely we will not get him bubble till super late game

outer sky
#

you can usually force it with deathmark/kingsbane

#

healer CCd for like 5 seconds

#

youll get something

#

ive seen so many rets in SS die to sudden demise without bubbling

waxen meteor
#

it's just hopefully

#

your teammate needs to do some fairly big dmg

outer sky
#

are you playing assass?

waxen meteor
#

I open ret everytime with deathmark on ret

#

yourself is not enough

outer sky
#

I think the strat with assass is to rot the team out and force CDs with passive pressure

#

eventually heals OOMs or someone falls over

#

its hard to sustain that level of healing for several minutes

#

ive played games where ive forced bubble without any CDs just because the rets whole team is struggling to stay above 20%

#

although ive been maining WW monk for this season and it's so easy compared to rogue

waxen meteor
#

we are simply not talking about same topic

#

you can apply same scenario against any class by dotting whole opponent team and make them not able to maintain HP, and thefore force their defensive cd

#

I just don't feel it has anything to do with 'dealing with ret'

outer sky
#

just because it works on everyone doesn't mean it doesn't also deal with rets just fine

waxen meteor
#

A good ret defense very well, and you cannot easily force bubble out.

outer sky
#

I'd take a ret over a dragon any day

#

the fact that they can clear bleeds so often

#

its such a counter

waxen meteor
#

and what i was saying is that normally from first 30 seconds, you already can tell if he is good enough (and if your teammate is good enough)

steel scarab
#

Dragons and survival hunters

#

And rets. All absolutely cancer for our class

#

Still, I'd play against a ret over the other 2

dont complain too much dude, im really growing very tired, thank you

steel scarab

I think it's pretty fair to complain about stuff in the game that just is ridiculously not balanced. And a spec having a pvp specific talent that just fucks one specific spec and does nothing against all the other specs is, let's be honest, pretty fucking stupid

jolly sierra
#

no all the time

#

like 80% of ur chat is just some kind of whining

wintry dew
jolly sierra

nobody likes whiny people dude

#

lets be honest here

steel scarab
#

Okay I mean, if that's the shared sentiment

#

I think I make compelling points

wintry dew
#

I like most of your inputs

#

you do have pvp experience

#

But from that to complaining about stuff that we can't do nothing about goes a long road

steel scarab
#

Don't devs read this channel?

wintry dew
#

Even if they do, PvP is literally a niche for them

halcyon timber
steel scarab
#

Also, as hyperbole, let's recall demon hunters from last season, how ridiculously OP they were. I complained a lot. They weren't fun to play against and people who were objectively worse than me were crushing me

#

That is something really fair to complain about

jolly sierra
#

yeah but no need to complain way too much, we cant solve anything

#

cmon james, most of ur comments are just some kind of complain

i barely remember some conversation beyond that

#

I shouldn't have to play like I have a 300 IQ to beat someone who's just smashing their keyboard

Balance the game

wintry dew

Imagine having raz/shadenox/blake come here and just UJADKSLGBADSLGBA about stuff they don't like

jolly sierra
#

ye

#

the last time ive seen a r1 complaining, for good reasons

#

was raz for end DF s1

#

when he said rog was dead cuz ret god ascended status in that moment

#

a moment where arguably ret was in its zenith

#

never ever reached before

steel scarab
#

The majority of the playerbase isn't r1 and the game being balanced around r1 isn't super healthy

#

Because it's balancing a game mode around like 30 people

#

Instead of the thousands that pvp

jolly sierra
#

fair, so u wanna talk about that

#

wanna know what happened when blizz heard in forums the 1k2 people?

#

they nerfed ALL the CCs in S2

#

EVERYTHING

#

and solved nothing

wintry dew
#

PvP is a niche gamemode, lets keep that in mind. I believe Blizzard manpower to actually work on PvP must be small

steel scarab
#

Hot take: I actually think nerfing cc in pvp is/was kind of good for the game

jolly sierra
#

it wasnt, we are in the same issue still

steel scarab
#

It's not fun to not be in control of your character

#

Objectively

wintry dew
#

Blind 5 seconds, breaks with dmg. Warrior fear still 6 seconds

jolly sierra

crowd control isnt the problem here

#

is how people manages to counter that incoming crowd control

steel scarab
#

When the crowd control is instant cast

tawdry lodge
#

how's sub after reset? still ass?

steel scarab
#

That's very hard to react to

jolly sierra
#

u can mostly predict when they are about to CC

steel scarab
#

Same with damage

jolly sierra
#

when they are bursting

wintry dew
#

I can't recall which R1 it was that said that PvP right now it just M+ in arena

#

Probably whazz

#

do more dmg, win more games

steel scarab
#

Damage feels good when it ramps up and you know it's coming. Paladin wings for example. Shadow dance. It's super obvious animation, sfx

jolly sierra
#

for shadowlands s1 i recall i needed to precast a defensive for rogue mage because else i would die

#

and it worked

steel scarab
#

Marksman having long cast times

#

Define long

It does not feel good to have no dmg done to you and then be in Shadowy duel and just instantly die

stoic spruce
halcyon timber
# tawdry lodge how's sub after reset? still ass?

Feels fine, just as before. The slight bump up is appreciated. Its all about the talents augmenting styles. Rupture is pretty nice. It was wise of them to do those small jumps instead of something silly

steel scarab

Or demonology pets or BM pets just going nuts on you

#

and here we go again

You should be able to react to visual and sfx cues with defensive cooldown use, not just randomly die to overwhelming incoming dmg
