No

grave basin
#

unless you gain more mastery than you lose verse

sick wasp
#

its not ideal no

grave basin
#

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

sick wasp
#

i think its not like u will gain more dmg if u get more mast instead of vers

#

but if we are talking about shuffle

#

it does make sense

#

its more dmg for sure

#

even outlaws gem mastery after a point

surreal barn
#

You will gain much more damage with more mastery

#

Check your actual rupture tooltip before and after

sick wasp
#

yup im just the traditional dude that maxes out vers and focuses on gameplay rather than minmaxing the stats

#

u are definitely right here

jolly sierra
#

black luster soldier

surreal barn
#

During dance they can

grave basin
#

ive been doing half the damage i could have..

sick wasp
#

wow yo

#

thats alot of dmg

#

u sure?

#

xd

surreal barn
#

Yes lol

#

it’s busted

grave basin
#

my max crit

#

for all 6 rounds of shuff i just checked

#

was around 41 to 50k

#

like fully badged with nightstalker

#

that's such a big difference

#

??

surreal barn
#

Let’s compare it to the dummy

sick wasp
#

im more interested in details tbh

#

like actual comparison

#

but i do believe u ppl

grave basin
#

dummy is kinda spotty when it comes to values no?

surreal barn
#

On the dummy that same tick will probably be 65k

sick wasp
#

100% u are all proven solid

#

dummies dont have tree dmg reductions n stuff

surreal barn
sick wasp
#

its the pvp valued reduction only

surreal barn
#

Honestly

#

Are you NA? We can group to test when I’m on later

grave basin
#

yea but im gonna sleep

#

its 1am here

#

kek

surreal barn
#

sleep is for the dead

grave basin
#

well i actually have 1.5k conquest

#

im gonna craft the eng helm and wrist

surreal barn
#

Start with one

grave basin
#

not sure what for at this point since im not pushing past 2.1

surreal barn
#

It might be enough after you see where you’re at

grave basin
#

but i wanna see how thick solid tight i can get

surreal barn
#

The only reason I went both was because I was behind on other crafteds

grave basin
#

should i make helm or wrist first

surreal barn
#

What’s your current gear

grave basin
sick wasp
#

think he posted a SS

surreal barn
#

Is that a lifebound helm

grave basin
#

yes

surreal barn
#

Get wrists

grave basin
#

lifebound wrist helm and belt

surreal barn
#

Damn

grave basin
#

damn

surreal barn
#

I hate to replace a lifebound

#

lol

sick wasp
#

💀

grave basin
sick wasp
#

bro went ham on LW crafts

surreal barn
#

Probably net higher mastery with the crafted ring this week

#

Or neck

grave basin
#

i spent my last full spark last week

#

so more like 2 weeks from now..

#

wake me up when it's prepatch

surreal barn
#

You can craft every week with vault

grave basin
#

i already took the gem tokens..

#

lol

surreal barn
#

Just spend 6 tokens on the half spark next week

sick wasp
#

u can get 1 from weekly quest

#

1 from the vendor

#

with tokens

surreal barn
#

And get wrists. This week go neck or ring

#

Ring if it has no socket

grave basin
#

everything has socket

#

except nelt

#

belt

#

AND i took the vault gems to gem my ... wrist and helm

#

so back to half a spark from the weekly

#

BUT i can get the off hand?

surreal barn
#

I suppose

#

@sick wasp I wish I didn’t have that min/max mindset

#

I’d be better off

#

In life

sick wasp
#

im more of getting the bigger picture kinda guy

grave basin
#

i thought i was full bis

#

10mins ago

#

now im in shambles

#

@surreal barn if you dont mind, can you post your garrote and rupture max damage in pvp when you get back

#

im gonna sleep now

surreal barn
#

Yup I’m @ work

grave basin
#

mine is

#

and 207k garrote

#

no sophic proc

surreal barn
#

277+138 = 415/8 ticks = ~52k crit ticks

#

A lot higher after you add the rupture agi, trinket, stun boots, sophic

#

Even target health

Hello there! I have been playing assassination rogue in shuffle for the past few months or so and was hoping for some guidance. Usually, I find dps pretty easy to play as I focus on damage and some CC to get to 1800. However with rogue, it took me much longer to get to 1900. Are there any ccs that I should routinely look out to do during shuffle? I just learned about kidney, blind, then sap. Also kidney and bomb as usual combos to go for. Are there any neat tricks or good combos that I should be thinking of?

jolly sierra
#

opponent trinket in CD + smoke bomb + kidney + kingsbane = win

#

stun/cc the other dps in burst = possibly forced trinket or a lot of less upcoming damage

pearl pasture
#

Thank you - stun/cc on their burst is a great one tyty

dapper chasm
#

Just a reminder of what a man's stats look like

jolly sierra
#

sub doesnt counts

dapper chasm
#

And I still gots rooms to grow

halcyon timber
#

Anytime someone can stop you - think to prevent that and cover your butt first

#

Then beat on people

#

Ex: stop the paladin bop with a gouge or blind then whoop on the team mate

dapper chasm
#

Since when can you gouge BoP?

#

I say you talk BALOGNE

halcyon timber
#

You gouge them to prevent them bopping someone

#

Has to free themself

dapper chasm
#

How the hell you know it's BoP you stopped?

halcyon timber
#

Or a moment to swap

dapper chasm
#

Maybe your gouge stopped him from using hardcast heals

halcyon timber
#

Don’t read too heavily into it man

dapper chasm
#

I will

halcyon timber
#

The point is buddy covering his butt

dapper chasm
#

Booty is more important than air

Ya. @jolly sierra are we going sub in TWW?

#

I tried them out, seems way better

surreal barn
#

lol

surreal barn
#

@grave basin @sick wasp

#

this was from a duel

#

rupture only got two ticks in but yeah

#

it goes higher if you amp up the agility from 2 more ruptures - over 100k for sure

sick wasp
surreal barn
#

That kingsbane was 460k as well

#

Goes much higher

jolly sierra
#

oh boy look at the last one

surreal barn

Does sub kill window look good in the ww or no? Like its pretty hard to get a one shot setup now because how little we hit

surreal barn

get fucked Rogues, I guess

surreal barn

these hunter talents are crazy man

grave basin
#

Super massive insane amount of rogue changes

grave basin
jolly sierra
#

just trickster changes

#

xd

gleaming pawn
#

not even changes

#

just fixing bugged tooltips

wintry dew
#

new icons tho

#

this looks nice

gleaming pawn
#

don't bring your praise for the art team into this! all doom all day until Deathstalker gets fixed 🙂

wintry dew
#

You're right but man

#

I wish the other teams matched the art team

#

in both energy and improvement

gleaming pawn
#

so true, even if they gave 50% of the art team's hustle the game would be so different in a good way

grave basin
#

Man sv changes

#

Look sweet

#

Actually insane

#

Outlaw channel.going crazy as usual

gleaming pawn
#

the Outlaws should be on injury watch, I worry about them

wintry dew
#

looked at outlaw tww channel

#

Guy right now:

surreal barn
#

lol

potent pivot
#

outlaw has been through some wild ups n downs this past expansion

wintry dew
#

I swear I was reading the channel for a while and boy oh boy

#

Meanwhile in tww-ass:
So guys, let's talk about wedding rings

potent pivot
#

honestly the state of rogue has gotten really stale for me, which has led me to just play less

#

doom posting does nothing :d

gleaming pawn
#

join me on Ret

#

the future is looking bright for non-rogues

potent pivot
#

ret really changed for the better in DF

wintry dew
#

True and real. If it wasn't for remix, I'd have shut down my subscription until pre tww

potent pivot
#

i just don't enjoy playing anything but rogue long term

wintry dew
#

Remix was cool for tmogs/mounts/etc

potent pivot
#

i'm planning on resubbing to snag as many mogs as i can from remix

#

don't care about mounts or anything

wintry dew
#

So for someone like me it worked great

potent pivot
#

i kinda want those wing toys or w/e they are

#

that come from achievments i think?

sharp sierra
#

With the changes to rogues acrobatic being gone and shadow dance. Feels like rogue are gonba be weak in pvp in ww

wintry dew
#

Those are farmed passively

Ez stuff honestly

Rogue has never needed acro in pvp, it only ever had it s3 and s4 lmao

potent pivot

So lame

Yea true. Lets hope at least 1 spec comes out the meh stages

idk what that is

Just tried out mass rapid fire and holy shit

Are we fucked in blitz

sharp sierra
#

Royal my friend

#

Got it after 83 runs

#

Lol

wintry dew
#

I blessed you

#

I knew you'd get it soon after we talked

sharp sierra
#

Oh and take this. The second one fel from 1st run

#

Lol

wintry dew
#

LOL

sharp sierra
#

You blessed it

wintry dew
#

So 83+1 runs

sharp sierra
#

Lol yea. I was about to put in a ticket

#

And be like wtf blizz

wintry dew
#

Holy Jesus I respect you for enduring that many runs

#

Most people I've talked to over in tmog took around 1 hour to get both

#

Either I'm really blessing people with the power of pink

sharp sierra
#

I wanted to have it to level as outlaw in expansion and look pretty doing it

#

Lol

#

How long is it taking beta folks to get from 70 to 80

gleaming pawn
#

leveling as Outlaw sounds miserable

sharp sierra
#

Lol

wintry dew
#

I'll actually be on vacation for at least until 01/09 so I can probably get to max level chilling

#

3/4 days should be enough

#

And no I don't have early access

sharp sierra
#

More then 3nough. Casually too

#

Me neither. I dont care for the early bug acccess

wintry dew
#

Yeah, same

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

i don't want to level a 4th rogue kekdog

sharp sierra
#

Lol

potent pivot
#

honestly not sure what class i'll level in remix

sharp sierra
#

Ever seen that enh shaman on ladderboard

#

Bigdam

potent pivot
#

dk and pally are the only 2 melee i don't have fully leveled already

gleaming pawn
#

once you get the 100% exp base to the cloak, you can level a new alt in a day even just being a quester and hitting the raids as you unlock them. So getting bronze isn't that bad

#

it's mindnumbing, and I hate all of Pandaria now, but it's not as bad as it could have been

wintry dew
#

Each set costs 5k bronze, you gain 40k just by reaching 70, plus 30 or 40k more from daily activities while leveling/dungeons

sharp sierra
#

Hows ret looking in expansion

#

Pvp wise

potent pivot
#

there's really no true way of knowing until it's live

sharp sierra
#

Thinking of alting one

#

True

potent pivot
#

beta pvp theory crafting is almost never accurate

#

2 abilities get pvp tuning and a class can go from OP to trash in 1 dev post

sharp sierra
#

Mages got ton of changes

wintry dew
#

They are getting a class overall redesign

sharp sierra
#

Shhhhiiiiit

wintry dew
#

It's normal I'd say

gleaming pawn
#

yeah we wont know shit until the exp goes live, pvp tuning is so far off from done

#

they haven't even really done pve tuning

potent pivot
#

i pray rogue gets a true full rework before 12.0

gleaming pawn
#

Ret is going to be weaker in pvp though, because their two defensives have been moved to a choice node

#

so you either get Shield of Vengeance, or Divine Protection

#

not both

sharp sierra
#

Which two def

#

Oh

wintry dew
restive pebble
#

anyone willing to help me with keybinds? trynna mimic ww binds based on similar abilities to assa rogue. for example: tiger palm = mutilate, legsweep = kidney, rsk = envenom

sharp sierra
#

I heard llyaden say word of glory heals less too

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

mutilate mutilate envenom... strike strike dispatch/evis...

#

SnD existing...

gleaming pawn
wintry dew
#

I enjoyed playing ret during s1

#

Played ret pvp for like 2 weeks, reached my highest personal record

#

Almost 2.3

#

Meanwhile only reached 2.150 as a rogue

potent pivot
#

i feel like rogues core baseline flow hasn't changed in 10+ years, while other classes have changed drastically

#

don't think any amount of talent tree changes will change that

gleaming pawn
#

you're right, an nope there is nothing that could be done talents wise

jolly sierra
#

wasnt legion rework enough?

gleaming pawn
#

they'd have to remove Cheap Shot, then maybe they'd be willing to tune Rogue damage higher

#

but with CS, there's too much ability to control for top Rogues

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

sub rog was completely washed i recall

#

outlaw existed

#

assa was a little less

vocal surge
#

Yall talking about TWW rogue?

gleaming pawn
#

more like we have nothing to talk about

#

but whatcha got

vocal surge
#

Atm nm

#

Been busy all day and just had time to glance here

#

I suggested some talents on the forum but there doesn't seen to be feedback for em

potent pivot
gleaming pawn
#

Rogue is the OG builder > spender architype

wintry dew
#

Kinda reminds me of arms warrior

#

Overpower twice, mortal trike

potent pivot
gleaming pawn
#

that's fair, I've been branching out more and more this expansion because of it

potent pivot
#

i feel like if the specs had a bit more basics differentiating them from one another that'd be sick

jolly sierra
#

i felt reworks were like shit tbh

halcyon timber
#

Really don’t want to legion 2.0. There were a good bit of changes In tww and customization in how a rogue chooses should matter via talents

jolly sierra
#

cuz it restricted a lot just for a class fantasy

#

fucking the spec itself doing that

vocal surge
#

As far as PvP goes in TWW

#

Rogue feels nonexistent

halcyon timber
#

The angle by creating dynamic abilities such as evolving dispatch / eviscerate into cdg is cool while not stripping us or “all in this only” crap that legion did

potent pivot
gleaming pawn
vocal surge
#

Normally we're good at CC but in TWW, CC gets off people faster than SL

halcyon timber
#

Yeah we will see in tuning, them focusing on team fighting may allow us to be tuned well instead .

#

A lot of shit breaks cc agreed

#

On purpose

#

Even our shit does

vocal surge
#

Not CC breaking

#

But the duration

halcyon timber
#

Throw in 15% gem and yeag

#

Even rougher

jolly sierra
#

cuz outlaw was the dirty brawler since legion

halcyon timber
#

Pruning was dumb af

jolly sierra
#

shadowblades being restricted to sub only

potent pivot
halcyon timber
#

Choice nodes are a thing

#

And other classes gained stuff

potent pivot
#

i very much prefer classes only having a couple specific CC types

jolly sierra
gleaming pawn
#

the funny thing is, the PvE side where all the stops and defensives got introduced in the first place all hate the amount of stops and defensives in the game now and want them pruned

#

so at least they are kinda on the same page as PvP on something

potent pivot
halcyon timber
#

They created it by being the wailing caverns

vocal surge
#

Don't forget there's a lot of classes with passive CC duration reduction

potent pivot
#

outlaw was rarely the best spec

#

when only it had gouge

halcyon timber
#

Dunno idc about best, i care about rogue kind as a whole

#

Shouldn’t be reduced to stun bot

potent pivot
#

agree

halcyon timber
#

Because some nerd trinkets gouge in 2024

gleaming pawn
#

it's still amazing people trinket the opening sap in 2024, but here we are

halcyon timber
#

And people don’t los or peel

#

Somehow our fault

#

They also reduced cc in tww by lots of choice nodes as well across a lot of classes

#

Most of our stuff breaks on people passively being dumb so they have zero to gripe about

stoic spruce
#

LMAO

#

These takes

jolly sierra
stoic spruce
#

Classic rogue takes

jolly sierra
#

and then eating a kidney to waste his bubble

halcyon timber
#

Makes sense

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Be the cc bot like a good rogue

potent pivot
#

nou

jolly sierra
#

cc bot as usual

potent pivot
#

being a cc bot was fun when we could do nice set ups

#

like rmp cc the entire team and land a kill with dance and combust

#

etc

halcyon timber
#

That is long gone due to propaganda

#

Never coming back

surreal barn
#

Every hunter is about to have both scatter and binding

halcyon timber
#

Good for them. They can quit hijacking posts like an angry mom out front of wholefoods talking about the carrot cake gave her diabetes when she decided to eat the whole thing in one sitting

#

Hunter does look good though, glad the devs could carve out time in their busy cycle they are prob doing

surreal barn
#

All it will take is them dying in a stun

#

Then rework will suck

halcyon timber
#

Hunters need to solve a children’s shape game with hunter themed blocks before logging in

#

Evoker tokyo drift breathing on them and taking 75% increased damage from disentegrate for being singled out while the hunter los’s their healer is imminent

plucky escarp
#

Hunter tree does look sick. You get everything. Binding, scatter, pet stun and knock trap

#

Plus two charges of wall.

#

And then there is some mastery change for SV that I don’t really understand but it sounds like it makes you tanky

#

Would be pog

surreal barn
#

And for melee cleave you can literally aoe stun every dr

plucky escarp
#

Everything is coming up milhouse

sleek bluff
#

I'm assassination in pvp, but I feel like I don't do good pressure

#

Is there a rotation for kills?

#

I'm doing thistle shadow dance death mark kings bane shiv shiv

#

And it doesn't do shit

surreal barn
#

Shiv before

#

Just one shiv

sleek bluff
#

Shiv > bane > shiv?

jolly sierra
#

DONT SHIV TWICE

halcyon timber
#

XD

waxen meteor
#

Let me do a real question guys

gleaming pawn
#

you shiv before kingsbane, and then again when kingsbane has less than 8 seconds left so you amp the initial hit and the ramped ticks at the end

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

are you sure u need to use both shivs in 1 run?

#

we care the most for the initial hit

#

does this even matter now? lol

gleaming pawn
#

The initial hit is heavily nerfed, the final ticks were unnerfed recently, and the final ticks is where most of the damage comes from if you ramp it correctly

#

Also 8 seconds of bleed randomly is not as much as using it with the final ticks of kingsbane and they line up perfectly

jolly sierra
#

are you sure u dont wanna save the other shiv to run away or mess their movement?

#

usually we do that with warriors and stuff like that cuz is undispellable

gleaming pawn
#

I find stepping friendlies to get away a better method of running than shiv and stepping. Over committing CDs that heavily impact your damage

#

And if you’re going for max KB damage, you should use Tea with less than 6 seconds remaining. Also to amp those final ticks

jolly sierra
#

have you tried in some time stuff like messing a healer with cc, smoke bomb and then shiv?

#

guy will lose a lot of time reaching his team

gleaming pawn
#

I find throwing knife crippling poison is enough of a slow

#

Not discounting the success you’ve found using it your way, you’re just leaving a lot of KB damage on the table not using both shivs

jolly sierra
#

its fine

#

we can question each other and still respect anyways

#

we are adults anyways XD

gleaming pawn
#

Exactly! And PvP is all about reading the situation and capitalizing with whatever is going to get the win in that moment. Be it kiting or slowing someone, or more KB damage

jolly sierra
#

ofc

#

that is the reason we use versa in pvp

surreal barn

@dapper chasm currently modding your vanish icon into my player icon

dapper chasm
#

Just keep in mind it has layers that you probably don't need just so it moves out of the way of target-of-target

That can be resolved by deleting one layer and removing "hide on ToT" on the other

Yeah

Would take me 10 seconds tbh

No, it's the one with the perfectly normal sized penis

Look at it, just resting on his balls like it should

surreal barn

An artist would make it a little larger

dapper chasm
#

And unrealistic?

#

It's already far larger than average

surreal barn

Sounds like your penis is the only one you have ever seen

dapper chasm
#

And the Greeks thought large penises were obscene and a sign of low intellegence

dapper chasm

It's actually how I know I am straight

If you heard "I don't like broccoli" from two people, and one had never tried it - which opinion would you consider more valid?

weapons it is then

Fun SS story! I had a full melee lobby, 2 fury warriors, 1 DK. I start off strong, 3-0. Then had 2 close games and got crushed 1 game, went 0-3. Felt bad. 10 minutes into the next queue, I realized that whole match I was wearing PvE gear. ilev 511

Heyo first time playing pvp rogue assa is there a good pvp guide for some basic stuff like rota, poisons etc. ?

wintry dew
#

Guides not really, i can point you in the right direction if you understand rogues tho

plucky escarp
#

Although I thought you were supposed to like, imp garrote, rupture, garrote in a caster opener.

wintry dew
#

Instead of a guide, i'd rather just literally watch shadenox on youtube

potent pivot
#

somewhat helpful if brand new to pvp, but vids are typically the best form to get info, though they also get outdated somewhat quickly as well

#

he does include a double garrote opener in his guide tho

plucky escarp
#

Oh nice! My bad

#

Why garrote > Mutilate > kidney > Shiv instead of like, garrote > shiv > kidney. I think with the second imp garrote and a shiv you’re at 5 combo points.

potent pivot
#

also something to note: you'll use fan of knives a lot instead of mutilate in 3v3/shuffle

#

if you won't break CC and you can hit 2+ targets, it's general recommended using FoK instead of mut

#

most people are running a FoK build etc

#

not sure if that's mentioned in the guide or not

plucky escarp
#

Makes sense bro ty

bro when you play the first 3 rounds with the same healer and you lose all 3 rounds and then after the first round you're against them and you win, they leave

#

like, bruh

#

let me get my 3-3 peepomad

jolly sierra
#

its still crappy tho

outer sky
#

if I macro badge to kingsbane will kingsbane be effected by badge?

potent pivot
#

if you want to make sure the very first dmg of said spell is affected by badge, just make sure it goes off first - won't be a big deal though either way

potent pivot
jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Whole sin tree is kinda weird

jolly sierra
#

dude just add "Ambush from Blindside" too and u will fix a lot

potent pivot
#

so i'm not sure it's really necessary to add blindside

jolly sierra
#

the problem is u must start w an ambush and use a vanish or running to restealth to try again

#

in pve is worse tho, they are forced to vanish

potent pivot
#

vanishing isn't an issue in pve

#

it's always been used for similar purposes like an extra shadowstrike on sub etc, unless you need to save it for a specific mechanic

jolly sierra
#

yeah but sub has shadow dance

#

fuck i wanna it back

potent pivot
#

so you ambush into 2 stacks -> use 2 5+ cp finishers -> full cp envenom into 2 stacks -> use 2 5+ cp finishers -> full cp envenom

#

and it cycles like so

jolly sierra
#

what if u switch the target?

potent pivot
#

umm

#

you don't

jolly sierra
#

huh

potent pivot
#

you'll just have to choose which target you want marked at the beginning of the match

jolly sierra
#

:l

#

well u convinced me to say its worse than i thought

potent pivot
#

i'm sure you'll get restealths etc and then swap if you want, but it's pretty rigid on that front

wintry dew
#

xD

potent pivot
#

it's really not that bad imo

#

all these trees are is a little extra passive dmg

#

running the fatebound tree almost looks worse in regards to it's capstone

#

flip the same side of the coin 7x for +1% to all stats

#

tf is that

#

ew

#

i like the cold blood talent on fatebound

gleaming pawn
#

The capstone is boring and uneventful for Fatebound. It increases your stats by so little it might as well not exist

potent pivot
#

i feel like in pvp we'll opt for the tree with better utility honestly

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

the shadowstep talents

#

evasion/cloak talents

#

etc

gleaming pawn
#

But which will be best for Assa is going to be hard. Right now Fatebound pumps single target. Deathstalker is so broken we don’t know how it will shake out for damage but having to get restealths to get more marks will suck

potent pivot
gleaming pawn
#

Either way these trees are more encouraging of a single target playstyle vs the multi dot rot we have currently, imo

potent pivot
#

i don't think they'll change our playstyle drastically tbh

#

if envenom dmg is still crap with the added benefits of deathstalker

gleaming pawn
#

From anyone curious, It’s from the pve side doing raid testing, but here’s whispyr discussing the latest assa stuff from yesterday https://youtu.be/OxUYCiPfBOg?feature=shared

potent pivot
#

he's also raid testing atm

#

on twitch

surreal barn
#

You all seen arcane mage

#

They are pumping in skirms man

potent pivot
#

if you mean on beta - tuning is going to be ongoing even after launch

#

wouldn't be too worried about it atm is all i'm saying

steel scarab
#

Folks, what's the easiest way to get a spark?

jolly sierra
#

LFR

#

if are from catchup

#

else just the weekly

steel scarab
#

yeah, i'm several sparks behind

#

Thanks

karmic summit
#

utility wise deathstalker seem the best tbh the better cloak+evasion and big cdr in shadowstep (atleast for sub) will feel like tping around

surreal barn
#

All that really matters is kill potential, will just have to see how much damage sub does in a stun after balancing + stun resist gem

#

But yeah sub definitely feels like the play

gleaming pawn
#

Which is why it’ll get gutted again before the end of week 1 🙂

does assas use 4set?

2 hours shuffle played as hpally

i think that there are so little few healers in the game right now

that the game pushes u someway inot higher tier ques

im negative ratio and still queing into 1.8k+ teams

Hi, when we use feint as assa if speced in cheat death or maybe there are guides where defensive mentioned

karmic summit

Only one i know is bladestorm against warriors they do a lot of aoe damage

Not sure but maybe ret pal does some aoe aswell

sick wasp
grave basin
#

Did they just tune deathstalker numbers

#

Instead of actually fixing the core mechanic being bricked

stoic spruce
#

How is it bricked

sick wasp
#

marks falls off

#

and basicly half the nodes dont buff/function correctly

sick wasp
#

its atrocious

grave basin
#

They even buffed the auto attack node

sick wasp
#

ye talking of nonsense nodes 😅

#

until now rogue is in general undertuned

#

all 3 specs

#

and fatebound and trickster function

#

partially

#

deathstalker still makes no sense

wanton breach

surely it will get replaced by a real hero talent tree

sick wasp

still cant believe the overview dratnos had on rogue

as a healer that's not too crazy

hey just to make sure, besides the pvp crest what do i need to add to the mastery awakend crafted helm?

The missive

#

Or the cogwheel depending if you're talking about lw or eng

twin burrow
#

got it ty

sick wasp
#

healer ques are instant

#

the moment u press shuffle it pops

#

but if u wanna find the actual total ques its 150 divided by 6

now my mmr is about 2.1 Surebud

think if i try playing hpally till TWW im gonna get elite

Does anyone else frame their old graphics cards

#

hey for sub:

When facing a DK, should you talent out of Dark Brew? (turn poisons/bleeds into shadow damage)
AMS dispells rupture and you cant reapply it while its active, missing out on a lot of damage

#

maybe take "The Rotten" instead?

sick wasp
#

dm+db

#

also cb

#

if u dont like the passive macabre stacks u can always stay goremaw

#

i dont like it personally

#

thing is,talents vary its shuffle

#

test ur stuff and see what makes u feel more comfortable or plays out better

#

just dont take tea,its cringe

neat dove
#

why would i not take tea?

sick wasp
#

u dont like the extra dmg and cold blood?

neat dove
#

tea gives mastery

sick wasp
#

so u like to press tea and rng the crit

neat dove
#

this is what I usually run but my question was about taking out dark brew when facing DK due to AMS

sick wasp
#

rather than have consistency in critting

#

w/o acro

#

and lethality

#

to take energy regen and leech

#

and tea

#

idk how that makes sense for u

#

but to each his own

#

also the point on wound poison is so 2 seasons ago

neat dove
#

if youre not commenting on dark brew vs DK than Id rather not you comment at all

sick wasp

#

im only in DF for like 6weeks now, I took the talents from guides, then top players (who still sometimes play sub and not assass) and then adjusted a few talents to work out better for my rank

#

but basically all guides and top players have tea

sick wasp
#

like if u open the ladder now highly doubt u will find one in top 10

#

ild actually be surprised

potent pivot
#

sometimes guides are out of date

neat dove
#

my "personal" touch was for example picking replicating shadows instead of first dance, elusiveness instead of cheat death and nimble fingers instead of superior mixture

potent pivot
#

can be good to check out what the top players are currently running on murlok.io

neat dove
#

nah they got dates

#

yeah well I did that

sick wasp
#

hold on gonna sniff data out

potent pivot
#

either way there's no 1 size fits all build

neat dove
#

and I can tell what is their PVP and what is their PVE loadout by the talent choice, cuz aint noone running flagellation and shadowcraft in pvp

potent pivot
#

having your own personal take is fine

#

pvp isn't as strict on talent builds as pve

surreal barn
#

I have seen flag taken

potent pivot
#

so if you're happy with it, it's all good

surreal barn
#

Outside of pve

#

People swap talents every other shuffle match depending on who you vs

sick wasp
#

actually the are 4 rogues that use tea

#

so its a 4 out of 10 ratio

neat dove
#

sure, but if you look at palumors sub loadouts for example, one is almost exactly like the icy-veins pvp guide, and two are basically the icy veins sub pve talent trees

surreal barn
#

Pretty sure palumor hasnt queued since week 1

neat dove
#

perchance

#

maybe i should switch to assass as well but i feel more comfortable with sub

#

more control

#

and its fine in the 1700-1800 range

potent pivot
surreal barn
#

No I can’t

#

I never thought I’d be playing Hunter for more than a week but here I am

potent pivot
surreal barn
#

I’d say go sub and git gud bc in TWW it is looking better than assa

sick wasp
#

ild play wahtsever feels more comfortable and if i wanted to climb ild pick a spec that gives me space to check and control the flow of the game better

neat dove
#

i did switch to assass for a few games but ive barely played it since I came back and I felt much squishier than with sub

#

I used to play both 50/50 basically

sick wasp
#

if u play sub in 1.8 u can play sin in 2-2.2

#

trust me

#

sin just zones in bleeds everything out,kidney's something

#

vanish blind and repeat

neat dove
#

but only 1 vanish 😩

sick wasp
#

win/lose go next

neat dove
#

and i dont wanna play nightelf

surreal barn
surreal barn
#

A shitty healer helps sub so much lol

#

They just don’t know what to do

sick wasp
#

but sin being that oppressive with poison n stuff creates more effective dmg

surreal barn
#

True but it’s kinda like pve healing to an extent

sick wasp
#

thats why the more u climb the better healers u face the less heal you force them do

#

yup true

neat dove
#

finally got above 1800

#

and i forgot to switch gear, luckily i always have pvp trinkets in my inv for warmode

#

ok technically not "above" 1800 😄

exotic dove
#

Been playing a bunch of beta and what not. I was playing a bunch of different things and one of the biggest things I have noticed probably with the changes is how tanky Hunters got. Seems like Blizzard just gave up on the whole kiting thing with Hunters and just said here you go have 2 wall charges lasting 8 seconds increased self healing etc

#

My Hunters like it my Rogues however on beta not so much at least for right now lol

#

Of course all this is subject to change but the defensive stuff wont

surreal barn
#

They have access to both scatter and binding simultaneously

exotic dove
#

Pack leader for BM and surv every time you press wall or turtle you heal 20% of max health and you have 2 wall charges on a 1 min cd

#

or 1.5 min cd

surreal barn
#

It’s for MM too

exotic dove
#

Sentinel has Damage reduction shield proc

#

Pack leader is for BM and Surv while Sentinel is for MM and Surv

#

MM doesnt get that self heal cause its in pack leader

#

also surv new mastery is basically another vers

#

but only up to 6% dr

surreal barn
#

The skill that uses exhil when wall is pressed and vice versa

exotic dove
#

thats in dark ranger

surreal barn
#

Ah yes dark ranger

#

Which honestly slaps as well

#

The binding shackles are pretty fun to play around it seemed to stack with tar trap

#

But I mean, you still can’t press the walls in a stun and you can pump hard if you save the trickster cloud for when they are 50% health

exotic dove
#

yeah all they can do is roar of sac themselves but it does prevent crits

neat dove
#

bruh i wanna make a trinket-vanish macro but i cant find the trinket icon 😭

#

they should make subriders for items and abilities, like class or npc abilities, and wearable items and which slot

#

guess ill use the old trinket icon

#

hmmm can you make a macro similar to focus shadowstep kick for vanish?

focus shadowstep kick I have to press twice for the kick, can i make it so when I press the trinket-vanish macro once, it only uses trinket, but twice its trinket vanish? eh guess its susceptible to still getting ccd

potent pivot
neat dove
#

i just gotta buy an MMO mouse so i can have all 3 on a button, trinket, vanish, trinket+vanish

surreal barn
#

Nah man don’t combine that

neat dove
#

why not, i sometimes get ccd right after i use trinket before i use vanish

surreal barn
#

Then you’re not pressing the binds fast enough I’m not sure what to say

#

I believe macroing trinket vanish is a bad habit

#

What are your binds for trinket and vanish?

neat dove
#

as I said id still keep regular trinket and regular vanish, but sometimes I wished I had them simultanously, I think Pika uses it as well

#

my mouse has 2 extra buttons on the side, one of them is my trinket (the other kidney). I click vanish 😅

#

technically its on 7 but thats not really reachable

potent pivot
#

do it in steps to get used to it if you have to, but definitely do it kekdog it's such a game changer

neat dove
#

im too old

#

ive added several since I came back but im at my limit, on my left hand at least

#

I've used my focus step kick macro 0 times since Ive assigned it to shift2

#

hence why i wanna buy an mmo mouse, i think i still have capacity on my right hand, a lot of stuff im still clicking which i definitely shouldnt

#

vanish, evasion, dismantle, gouge, shadowblades, symbols of death

#

smoke bomb, shadowy duel

Only thing i click is stealth

@sick wasp swap to the healer if the healer trinkets? The only healer I've been swapping to is Holy Paladin since they seem squishier than the other healers

gusty hedge
# nova viper whats is the best way to learn pvp? Spamming solo shuffles/arenas?

duels, vs people who know a lil something/ duels in general. Bgs /arena /wpvp.
all diff pvp play styles. arena different pvp than duels/wpvp/bg.
but in short, learn your class and gcds, keep practicing. training dummy helps imo. you can try different openers/burst/ rotations and track progress to see what works for you

wanton breach
#

and once you know a bit about what you can do, learning what others can do is also very important (team mates and enemies)

neat dove
#

yeah thats something i gotta do as well, last really played in legion, theres a lot of new stuff im not that familiar with yet, and the buff/debuff bars arent really helpful anymore with all the bloat. a healer casts 1 spell and has 5 different buffs, a DH throws 1 glaive and you have 5 different debuffs

yeah, 3s is a lot more anticipatory and shuffle more retrospective

jolly sierra
steel scarab
#

Sometimes I'll lock a healer into a huge cc chain (5s kidney, gouge, Blind) when his trinket is down and I'm just standing there staring at him while I keep him cced

#

And I look over and my teammate is zugzuging the 90% destro instead of the 25% DK

#

And I'm just like

You know

#

I should probably just be dpsing

jolly sierra
#

ppl is stupid just follow them else will be fucked

#

that is the reason im using an addon to track their current targets

steel scarab
#

True

sick wasp
#

and the ''swap to healer once he trinkets'' its as old as wrath and tbc

#

still works like a charm

steel scarab
#

Even though they have more defensives than ever and more HP than everyone else?

sick wasp
#

it doesnt matter rly,u call out the swap,ppl follow

#

remember its a team effort

#

sub has higher capacity for swap/oneshots

#

but sin can do that as well

#

just try it some time and see if it works

#

that applies generally to everything that presses a trinket btw

u punish any misplay
