#

most rogue streamers switch between specs and also play other classes

#

but palumor, kalvish, pikaboo, shadenox, trill

#

shadenox has some assa stuff on YT

outer sky
#

This isnt exactly what I had in mind when I said I aspire to be above average

summer breach
#

I waited 1hr and 28 mins

#

but it was worth it

#

super intense rounds and I ended as first rogue this ssn with 3k

outer sky
#

I peaked at 2.6

#

Can I pick your brain a bit?

summer breach
#

yeh sure sup? 😄

outer sky
#

How do you not die to air after the enemy team gets your cloak or evasion?

#

Do you use dance primarily to CC or do dam?

#

I see you gem haste. Why?

summer breach
#

Kingsbane I use rather early

#

vendetta depends since its often pretty much useless

#

Its really matchup dependant ofc, but u wanna make the best use out of dances if u use them offensive and defensive at the same time

#

if that makes sense

#

after all shuffle is clownfiesta, trinkets fly, people tilt and choke

#

try to punish bad trinkets/cd usage, and take it easy if u lose - best advise I have haha

potent pivot
#

even in 3s deathmark usually gets used pretty liberally

#

it's too w/e to matter half the time

summer breach
#

you want some crit for fok/seal fate

#

u don’t want too much versa as well

#

I swap my gear a bit from time to time 6-10% haste feels bit more smoothly

#

So I want min 6% when I pick Badge

outer sky
#

is it worth playing smoke bomb into pres evokers? Theyre always right in melee so it never seems to help much

summer breach
#

I Never drop bomb tbh

#

it can always be good

outer sky
#

I have 23% crit is that enough?

outer sky
summer breach
outer sky
#

This healer im playing with just came back to the game and is trying to use my SS rating as bait for a good 3rd as if anyone cares about SS

potent pivot
#

healer CC'd? KT CC'd? send it

outer sky
#

send*

potent pivot
#

i usually use bomb to kinda extend the CC of the healer

#

things can be diff in shuffle tho obv, no comms and all

outer sky
#

lmfao my team was owning these guys so hard that they left the game 4 minutes in even though we didnt actually kill anyone yet

outer sky
#

@summer breach how do you fight splay? I get deleted by it every game

summer breach
#

depends what u play and how they are

#

usually it’s good to reset for recover and win late damp with cds

neat dove
#

if ive havent gained or lost rating 4 shuffles in a row it means ive reached my rating right

gleaming pawn
#

Yes, your mmr says you’re where you belong

neat dove
#

(I definitely dont belong in 2.1k half the time i dont know what im doing)

outer sky
#

anyone seen this bug before?

#

this shaman

#

hes online

#

but we cant see him

#

or target him

#

and hes showing with 1hp

neat dove
#

that bug no

fallen scaffold
#

as assa/affa against assa/affa, do we take disarm for the rog or cloak?

potent pivot
#

maneuv?

fallen scaffold
#

smoke and hemo

#

are my perma 2

#

i switch out disarm, veil and control

potent pivot
#

it's barely better than wound so it really isn't necessary like 90% of the time

fallen scaffold
#

it doesnt stack?

#

right

#

idk i like it

potent pivot
fallen scaffold
#

i figured that

#

but

#

i like the instant ms

#

instead of building stacks

#

maybe il fuck around with notplaying it

potent pivot
#

you'd be much better off going bomb/disarm/veil

#

trading out disarm or veil if you don't need them for w/e comp

fallen scaffold
#

why do so many ppl pla yit

potent pivot
#

people swap pvp talents between practically every match

#

bomb is the only perma rn

fallen scaffold
#

hemo is for double melee?

potent pivot
fallen scaffold
#

hemo is a probably a lock for smokebomb cleave then ya?

radiant glen
#

hemo can be good into stacked comps or comps where you struggle with uptime (typically double casters where dismantle and veil lose value already) provided you aren't prepared to DFA a port for style points

#

if u ctrl F my msgs in this channel specifically someone had a similar question earlier answered with more detail

outer sky
#

yo what envenom useful??

outer sky
outer sky
#

Hemo is kinda shit but most of the time I dont see a better option

radiant glen
outer sky
radiant glen
radiant glen
outer sky
#

It stops some or all damage from every class I can think of besides feral and hunter and warrior

#

Like every time I see a rogue cloak my disarm off I laugh

#

and then my lock blows him up with no cloak

radiant glen
#

not saying u cloak those no matter what but it certainly is a choice u can make as dampening gets higher

potent pivot
#

but hemo is pretty low value since we play wound now

#

it's not a 100% of the time lock in like it was before

#

also if you're playing with another MS on your team it's kinda dumb to waste the talent bringing hemo imo

thick dagger
#

For sub why do some people use flag over sepsis ? Is it any better for rogue mage I’ve never used it myself but was just wondering if maybe you can pump more dmg with it for 1 shots ?

wintry dew
#

@summer breach did you perhaps played sub this season and know how to answer the above question?

radiant glen
thick dagger
#

TY

summer breach
wintry dew
#

Apologies for poking you man, but you do have a lot more experience than I do RHlove

rotund saffron
#

What is the assassination rogue one shot combo?

wanton breach
#

there is no such thing

jolly sierra
#

nope, assa doesnt one shot like sub

wintry dew
#

That looks like Blizzard normal ui

outer sky
chrome schooner
#

Well you can be matched with MS specs in Solo Shuffle

outer sky
#

I think I just queued into the worst possible SS lobby imaginable

#

2 pallys, 3 evokers, and 1 survival hunter

wintry dew
#

How have you been mate? :3

dapper chasm
#

Not playing WoW

#

Just came here to judge people

wintry dew
#

nothing new then :c

outer sky
#

what a fair match up for me to queue into

wanton breach
#

shouldn't that be okay since you wanted to play outlaw to r1?

outer sky
#

So playing assass

#

I need 22 more wins

lavish idol
#

can someone tell me how someone starts with 0 rating but has 1.8k mmr

#

is it based on alts? or prior season..?

wintry dew
#

It's this season specifically for some reason

#

The other seasons we usually start lower

jolly sierra
#

just went to tol barad in classic

#

this is not how i recall it, is instanced

#

formerly was open world

thick dagger
#

How exactly do you do the flag 1 shot ? Is there a good video that someone can link so I can check it out I would like to 100-0 people in duel with sepsis I usually just get them to like 25% by the time duel ends from 100%

outer sky
#

when y'all are playing with a mage, how often do you find yourselves CCing the healer? I throw my blind but I'm afraid to press gouge because I dont want to DR sheep

outer sky
#

Guys I just got warrior speared and static totemed at the same time and my character was bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball I couldnt do anything it was like total CC

potent pivot
outer sky
#

Hey look I made a Death Knight disappear!

Big blastin

outer sky
#

Pikaboo is trying to LFG his way to r1 right now on stream

jolly sierra
#

cata in a nutshell

potent pivot
#

not the rating itself

outer sky
#

Palumor says he macros tricks of the trade to his kidney shot

#

how would you write that macro

#

so it gives it to the right person every time

potent pivot
#

so hitting r1 range doesn't matter if he's just farming the actual wins

potent pivot
outer sky
#

Welp

#

The other night I thought i saw the dumbest thing I'd ever see in WoW arena

#

when an rsham 3x DRd my stun with a cap totem 2s before stun DR was about to fall off

#

while I had kidney bomb

#

But the title has been newly awarded

#

to the MW monk I just played with that RoPd my kill target OUT OF my smoke bomb

#

That monk should reign supreme for a long time but who knows what I'll see next!

#

Like what is even going on in this game right now

#

what could possibly have made that monk think RoP was the button to press there

outer sky
#

Do yall ever have games where you really think sudden demise should have proc'd when it didnt?

#

I had a boomie hit 3% and still not pop

#

and I had full bleeds

potent pivot
#

it works slightly differently in pvp

outer sky
potent pivot
#

i think your remaining bleeds have to equal 250% of their health

outer sky
#

and I have 100% mastery

potent pivot
#

like if they were very recently reapplied before he hit 3% then logically yeah he should've died

#

but the length left on those bleeds = the damage they have left to deal,
which is what SD is checking for

twin burrow
#

Tricks tysm I literally consistently get 150k sudden demise procs and I'm always like oh that's about 10 percent not bad.. and as I got better with assa I definitely had full bleeds up even death mark...

I think it's hilarious I never made that connection

#

Also I'm so happy with assa at the moment. I played it season 1 then went sub for S2/S3 so I never played kingsbane sudden demise

Boy. Is shiv KB sudden demise procs satisfying with master assassin up. Absolutely thrilling being able to 'assasinate' as assa.

They did a great job on the rework. You have great pressure passively. Silence tech. And the ability to deal fatal damage every minute.

I like that it's the most offensive and least defensive atm. Justifies is power.

wintry dew
#

You know what we like

#

To see our boys winning

#

💪

glass bear
#

Anyone that is playing sub any atm with stacked mastery are you playing alacrity

#

I'm not atm and energy regen feels poor I think my traits are wrong I just came back to the game

rotund saffron
#

What is the assassination rogue burst combo ?

potent pivot
#

just replace mut with fok where applicable

Atleast it sounds cool

potent pivot
wintry dew
#

you can hear the first 10-15 seconds

potent pivot
#

that's the only iota of this new build i could find

wintry dew
#

its pretty much describing his rotation

potent pivot
#

i doubt it's that good tbh

wintry dew
#

give it a shot, it has some groove to it

potent pivot
#

gimicky builds are usually only good up to a certain rating

wintry dew

(was talking about the music)

potent pivot
#

yeah ikik

wintry dew
#

oh okok

#

"CaPtAin RosEs"

potent pivot
#

i skipped ahead and pressed play for like 2 seconds and heard someone singing about wow arena or some shit

wintry dew
#

his second arena: Sap -> Shadowstrike -> shadowstrike

potent pivot
#

like, he broke the sap?

wintry dew
#

negative, he sapped 1 guy, and double shadowstrike the other

#

SS.SS.Kidney

potent pivot
wintry dew

You know its low rating because warrior didnt stop his go

this is the only Darklord i could find

Really? i thought everything became better, especially lighting

potent pivot

ooooookay then. Had no idea, thanks for the heads up

I'll show you my work of art

"We have received numerous reports that the housing system's lighting settings are brighter than usual when set to 0. Conversely, when set to 5, the lighting is darker than it should be. The team has been hard at work investigating the source of the issue and how best to resolve it."

Crackshot blows

And then have all the bugs associated with a nonstealth ability in stealth

Crackshot blows

Crackshot ruined some aspects of outlaw that I don't feel like getting into rn

Hey guys May I ask for Assas rogue on retail. Why do we always want to use shadowdance and kingsbane together? Is there an interaction where kingsbane does more damage while “stealthed?”

gleaming pawn
#

read your tooltips

rapid marlin
#

oh shit true guys thanks, so I am trying to play some arena for fun with my friend, we are just grinding honor rn to get the all the honor gear and some bloody token gear, Im just confused about the crafting gear Embellishments

wintry dew
#

What spec are you playing?

#

Can i assume assa?

rapid marlin
#

yessir

wintry dew
#

Firstly let me introduce you to an amazing website for both you and your friend:

#

PvP and PvE guides for WoW Dragonflight Season 4, focusing on character builds for Solo Shuffle, 2v2, 3v3, RBG, and Mythic+.

#

Most assa players are playing with 1x BLS (mastery when above 90%) and PvP infurious boots

rapid marlin
#

yeah ive been looking at that too, but most gear just looks impossible to get for the next few days

wintry dew
#

Wdym?

rapid marlin
#

How do you aqquire BLS, it redirects me to life bound cap

wintry dew
#

BLS is an embelishment you buy in the AH and you can put it in crafted items

#

thats why you see it in the life bound cap - Crafted item

rapid marlin
#

daamn I see, I was confused about that, guess its new?

wintry dew
#

Its ... not "new". Has been a thing since S1 DF

rapid marlin
#

and to craft I need them sparks?

wintry dew
#

But I'll be honest, there's like 2 months left before the next expansion, you sure you want to commit now?
If you guys have the time, sure, it might be fun!

grave basin
rapid marlin
#

yeah I also thought about that, but it doesnt seem tooo crazy, just gotta farm honor for a day, get the basics, and kinda get into it

long shore
gleaming pawn
#

if you can't read tooltips, maybe WoW isn't for you

wintry dew
#

Before you ask about tier set: You can create a tier set item by using the catalyst system: https://www.wowhead.com/guide/revival-catalyst-dragonflight
You can use Conquest (epic items) gear to do so but keep in mind that only head/shoulders/chest/gloves and pants have access to the tier set bonus.

wintry dew
#

And yes kingsbane is also buffed by it

long shore
wintry dew
#

I can't recall if the % value is nerfed or not in pvp, would have to check first, but nontheless, its good enough for you to pump hard during Dance :3

long shore
#

Got it! Besides nightstalker any other interactions with shadowdance + kingsbane I need to be aware of?

wintry dew
#

Negative

long shore
#

That explains why my kingsbane hit pretty weak without dance up

wintry dew
#

just be sure to shiv before KB

long shore
#

Also crit chance? From master assassin?

wintry dew
#

I mean yes, forgot that part. you're totally right

#

IMPORTANT, Shiv!

#

shiv BEFORE shadowdance/KB

long shore
#

Do you normally shiv before dance?

wintry dew
#

Yes, KB is buffed by shiv nature dmg

long shore
#

The moment I press dance some guy is gonna weakaura air horns and just disarm me right away

#

So shiving before dance is a good idea ?

wintry dew
#

Yes it is

#

To be sure you're not getting disarmed is also important to CC before you go in

long shore
#

Ok so shiv - kidney - dance - kingsbane

wintry dew
#

That could work yes

#

REMINDER

long shore
#

Niceeee! Think i get it now

wintry dew
#

once you're in SDance, you can apply improved garrotes

#

and they will also silence if you are talented into it

long shore
#

Also when do we press vendetta against evokers? They just press 1 button and all my bleeds are gone

long shore
wintry dew
#

I've heard a LOT of ways to deal with it... One of them is not casting it at all

long shore
wintry dew
radiant glen
#

shiv before and after kidney is a little nuanced because you open up counterplay to people watching for the debuff
id shiv after the stun while you learn to make it easier

wintry dew
#

I'm sure more experienced players here would have better calls to that specific situation (talking about not casting DM VS evokers)

potent pivot
#

you def still want to cast it kekdog

radiant glen
#

as for evoker dms: generally I watch for situations that can pressure caut flame outside DM, in which case you punish by using it while they don't have a cleanse

if these situations don't naturally arise or they take too long to show, press DM as normal and atleast force the caut

potent pivot
#

when they are CC'd, etc

radiant glen
#

last season people were still misusing caut vs assa in shuffle all the way up till rank #7 which is where I stopped mid season so I'd think it's pretty reliable but YMMV

long shore
radiant glen
#

just don't hold it forever

radiant glen
radiant glen
#

or if they can't use it to dispel a hex or something later and u win like that, etc.

long shore
#

Do you guys go for evoker in shuffle? I find them really hard to kill targets ..

wintry dew
wintry dew
#

And since i didnt play at ALL this season, i did not know :\

#

(didnt see many evokers in s3)

potent pivot
#

yeah even if all you do is get a trade from it it's still good usually

radiant glen
#

assuming dev

long shore
#

Ya dev evokers I feel are super annoying. Especially with null shroud

#

Takes forever to get it off

#

And I don’t wanna waste dance cheap shotting off shroud

radiant glen
#

there's never really an overall rule, you're just watching for openings
evoker may be wrong call, but the player makes a mistake and it becomes the right call

the more u pressure the more mistakes u force ur opponent to make and the more win conditions u create

long shore
#

Got it 🤗

#

Sudden demise procs based on the length of bleeds right?

wintry dew
#

One of the biggest problems i had when i started PvPing, was being afraid to go offensive and pressure

long shore
#

Anyone know why people use the PVE bullion ring for Assas?

#

The one that gives you a shield if you deal fire damage

wintry dew
#

Ilvl 535 + mastery

potent pivot
#

because it's stats

long shore
#

I don’t think I have fire damage though

potent pivot
#

doesn't matter

wintry dew
#

you dont use them for the effects

#

but for the stats + ilvl

radiant glen
#

yeah its just ilvl

long shore
#

Damn I feel like if I use these PVE gear my versa drops to like 32% in pvp

potent pivot
#

so be aware of that

long shore
#

Down from 36%+

wintry dew
#

BUT you gotta either PvE or be at a really high rating to get enough aspects to upgrad it to 14/14

radiant glen
#

32% is an OK amount if you kite well

long shore
#

Oh so mostly for the stats ya? I have a 519 one. Should I use it over the 528 pvp ring?

wintry dew
#

no

radiant glen
#

no, only when its 530 or higher

wintry dew
#

You'd be losing stamina aswell and, based on the ilvl, other stats

long shore
#

I need to get more of those mats to upgrade them

#

Think it only drops 2100 and above

wintry dew
#

the aspects yes

long shore
#

Thanks a lot guys

#

Random question: how are rogues looking for the expansion??

#

Also I have alot of difficulty killing arcane mages in shuffle

#

Especially when they can blink out of kidneys it’s so aids

wintry dew
radiant glen
wintry dew
radiant glen
#

loss of dance will hurt but 2nd vanish has potential as far as assa goes

wintry dew
#

Ill be honest, defensively 2nd vanish has SO much potential

long shore
#

Oh we get 2 vanishes? Like sub?

wintry dew
#

Yes

radiant glen
#

yes

long shore
#

That’s pretty darn good I feel

wintry dew
#

But we lost shadowdance

long shore
#

But we never had dance as Assas to begin with

#

Until this expac

wintry dew
#

Yeah but we did this expansion

#

and it was really good

#

its like giving a kid candy, good candy, and then taking it away

wintry dew

So good man

#

I remember S3 i reached 1800 as assa sepsis with my Ret friend going nfae aswell for the buff

#

it was SO much fun

#

And tier set pre nerf

#

Big dmg in 2/3 seconds

radiant glen
#

my main rogue was human so post sepsis nerf I did end up going necro instead un4ch

#

both were fun tho so

wintry dew

Bonespike felt GOOD to press

Especially as an assa rogue

I still want it in Tww

but it wont be an ability anymore afaik

take me back

wintry dew
#

bro im old

radiant glen
#

I played a hunter in cata, I got it to lvl 12

#

was like 7 years old

wintry dew
#

let me check how old was i

#

I was 15

#

Good times

#

no worries

radiant glen
#

I wish I was a little older then, could've enjoyed the game more

#

instead of maxing cooking in brill and not knowing what a pvp even meant

wintry dew
#

It was a different age back then. I've played all the expansions, since TBC, but only started really understanding the game during Late Wotlk, Start of CATA

#

and since then here i am

#

._.

radiant glen
#

SL was my first real time playing

#

still love the game tho

wintry dew
#

the game is really good, even tho i always fangirl about FF14

grave basin
#

a good rogue opens up a lot in BGs and shuffle

glass bear
#

anyone playing sub using 4 piece? is there any value in it over 2 piece?

potent pivot
radiant glen
#

personally I think 4 piece is pretty mid, the combo points are relatively minor in the grand scheme of arena and the extra clone dmg primarily is just sectech bonus, because the cloned evis is half dmg of the already halved 2 set so..

potent pivot
#

4pc has almost 50% representation in the top 50 sub rogues

radiant glen
potent pivot
#

if it was "mid" meaning "trash" it'd be much less

radiant glen
#

the bonuses aren't a detriment especially with the higher stat values we reach in season 4, but if you're looking for a larger impact I don't think the set really provides it

#

im a SEASON 3 ENJOYER tho so maybe im out of touch

potent pivot
#

#1 rogue in 3s and the #1 in SS are both using 4pc

#

surprisingly

#

i don't recognize either of their names so who knows

radiant glen
#

id just be slightly weary of maybe logging out in a diff spec

#

but yeah

#

who even is r1 atm

#

im check

potent pivot
#

not just the extra pieces of tier

radiant glen
#

fair call

potent pivot
#

i think natashx is triimaz

#

idk who the #1 SS guy is

radiant glen
#

#1 3s sub is akro it looks like

#

2881cr

#

and ive got no idea who smokyy is

#

just a passionate rogue it seems

@surreal barn u were right dude

#

ppl is weird af with queues

#

found a wintrader

#

shithead ended 0-6 as a healer and was neglectful af

#

the other guy was 1k7

vital sigil
#

yo, guys (this is a warlock from that game)

#

hope its going good for everyone

jolly sierra
#

im sure the sham was a wintrader

#

feel free asking the guys here for advice

surreal barn
potent pivot
#

do you guys report them

jolly sierra
#

was suspecting but was too late for me

#

potent pivot
#

no replay?

i think so too tbh, no way hes playing like that at 2,3, round one he placed 0 earthern totems

Almost 3k oof

guys, is NE still going to have the same massive advntage in the next expansion? im a new rouge, really dont want to play NE, but i assume its a huge dif

# potent pivot wdym

The amount of wintraders I also saw during cata (old-school cata) was insane. I don't know how they did it but I saw teams rising fast during that time.

wintry dew
#

Even my team was getting wintraders AND mmr droppers. (Back then you had to have a named team)

#

That's kinda how I achieved my first elite set, we queued into a bunch of mmr droppers and wintraders in a row

surreal barn
potent pivot
#

mmr droppers? like smurfs?

wintry dew
#

Literally dropping their mmr

#

By losing on purpose

potent pivot
#

that's fine

surreal barn
#

If I’m 95% sure then there’s the 5% chance I am screwing someone by reporting

potent pivot
#

not against any rules to smurf

vital sigil
#

i reported paladins, couse that was a 100% same guy on 2 accounts, this shaman i didnt

#

for the same reason

surreal barn
#

Paladins can easily queue vs each other too

wintry dew
#

@potent pivot what was your favourite expansion to pvp?

potent pivot
#

idk if i could pick ngl

jolly sierra
#

protadin matches are the worst imo

potent pivot
#

prolly have to be wrath or cata

jolly sierra
#

fucking guys thinks can do all roles and leaves u to die

potent pivot
#

but i quit from cata->SL

#

so i've only pvped wrath/cata/SL/DF

jolly sierra

1st part of the vid is at 84%

3 seconds stealth after entering combat

Bring back burst of speed

yeah that's one talent i'm pissed i missed lmao

#bringbackburstofspeed

#

I just started to play the most used sub build how do I use sepsis optimally after first cheap on KT?

jolly sierra
#

here u go, judge for urself

vital sigil
#

i have just played another lobbi with that priest

#

no shaman in sight though

jolly sierra
#

weird af

#

is he getting advantage again?

vital sigil
#

maybe hes drunk or smthing

#

no

#

he played fairly, but it was a 0-6 warrior lobbi

jolly sierra
#

bruh

vital sigil
#

a russian r1 affli was in it on his alt

jolly sierra
#

the warr?

vital sigil
#

warrior pushed into both him and me and just died

#

no, on affli, just not the main oner

jolly sierra
#

did he leapt to the pillar and died?

vital sigil
#

no, he tried

#

he just never new when to retriet

jolly sierra
#

damn

vital sigil
#

but he was like 1,9 cr at that lobbi, so unlucky

#

for him

#

noone threw, rdruid played normaly vs that priest

#

3-3 for healers

#

i mean, noone threw on purpose

jolly sierra
#

at least warr didnt lose any rating

vital sigil
#

probably he did not

#

overall them not resting mmr was nice at the start of the season, but now whenever you log onto your alt in greens and q at 2,1, doesnt feel very good

#

at least i have conquest to buy boxxes, some of my friends who skipped start of the season do not, so they suffer

jolly sierra
#

do we have too much green geared guys at 2k1 mmr?

vital sigil
#

or situations like that also happend, when people legit had 1,9 end of s3, got 1,9 start of s4, havent played since and are now getting into 2,3 lobbies

jolly sierra
#

returned just yesterday tbh

#

after reaching 2k1 CR

#

and leaving for months lol

vital sigil
#

i have not played lock since like early may

#

mid may maybe

#

but at least i have close to bis gear, so i have no disadvantage

#

i honestly think end of season naked characters should get a normal cr calibration, as it used to be

jolly sierra
#

i see

vital sigil
#

my rouge for instance, im bad on it as is, if i were to go and play it rn, id at best have shitty stats conquest gear from boxes, then id q and get immediatly to play mmr i sued to be end of s3 oe even higher, meaning where i was at peak inflation, full gear and activly playig rouge

#

ill get demolished

jolly sierra
#

u just go versa mastery

#

but agi is prio ofc

idle root
#

is there an addon that will automatically assign enemy healer frame to arena2 or arena3?

you clearly didn't bother to read the tooltips, or you would have seen the interactions from Nightstalker. We are not here to play the game for you, reading comprehension isn't difficult. Do better

There's clearly no need to bring the subject up nor to be rude about it.

The channel works so we can help each other, no one is perfect nor everyone understands English perfectly.

steel scarab
#

It is absolutely crazy that you are that good, well done

wintry dew
#

Some people are just built different

#

And Aqo is a monster holy jesus

steel scarab
#

Absolutely crazy, I had to kill myself mentally to hit 2400 and he's casually 2900 on alts

wintry dew
#

Well put it this way: to me you're a beast as well since I've never hit 2400 and I actually saw your progress climbing to that goal

#

You did what I'll never do

steel scarab
#

Thank you friend, and you could definitely do it, I'm just not sure it's worth the existential mental collapse

wintry dew
#

I honestly don't know, my brain works until I get the 1800 mark, after that it just stops me from queuing again

#

I don't even feel envy from the fellow dudes that teach the 2100/2400 mark, I'm actually proud of them

steel scarab
#

Understandable.

I did work toward Keystone Hero, I hit that two nights ago, 2500 in M+. That took me two weeks. It's absolutely nuts how much harder PvP is than PvE, in my opinion at least

wintry dew
#

That's my opinion as well

#

To easily progress your PvE skills and reach your R.io goals, all you need is a group of friends, even if you don't cover the whole 5 man party, and just play together

steel scarab
#

Aye, I did this totally pugging, but I would imagine the "queue" time of hoping random people accept you would be way shorter if you listed groups with friends

#

It is very, very hard to get people to bring you to any key higher than one you've already completed

wintry dew
#

Exactly. Fortunately for me I have a group of friends that are like minded so, even if we don't cover all the roles, we can easily get people to our key / get invited

steel scarab
#

It's also astonishing how bad people were despite their rating in M+, I played with a 2400 holy paladin a few days ago in Uldamann who absolutely couldn't keep more than 1 person alive on the last boss fight and on Grolnok

#

Idk if he was accidentally specced into single target healing and not aoe healing or what, but I had done other +10 uldamann runs and never did staying alive feel so impossible as it did that run

#

We did finish it, like... 10 minutes over time lol

wintry dew
#

Question: was it fortified or tyrannical?

steel scarab
#

Tyrannical

wintry dew
#

That might answer some questions

#

Uldaman tyrannical is a fucking nightmare

#

Probably as bad as nokhud

steel scarab
#

I'm not saying it isn't! But

#

Example, on one pull on the last boss, I ran in, fight starts, he does his AOE knock back, I Feint it and take 450k, then he puts the DOT on me? I take 5 100k ticks of that with no heals and die

#

Unless the dot was avoidable, which I don't believe it is, there is clearly healer deficiency happening

wintry dew
#

A lot might have happened but we can just say "Skill issue"

outer sky
#

so the SS lobbies ive been queuing into on my lower rated alts have been crawling with tanks

#

I did one lobby that had 2 prot pallys and a guardian druid in it

#

just did one with a prot war

#

this is my 1st season doing SS

#

does this happen at the end of every season?

#

Are people trying to exploit the low cutoff ratings of their tank specs to get a r1 title?

#

all season I think ive seen 1 tank in SS

#

and today I see 4

wintry dew
potent pivot
#

depending on rating, you could see a tank in queue everyday/every other day usually

#

there's been times where playing certain tank specs in pvp was kinda effective, iirc they've even seen play in the AWC a couple times

#

Genuine, unironic question

#

How hard would assa be to pick up and push 3s on at this point in the season?

wintry dew
#

Depends if you are good at pvp. Sometimes knowing the basics of pvp (non class related) goes a long way

#

Assa by itself isn't "hard"

quiet hemlock
#

As arms, I'm 2.4kxp shuffle and 2.1kxp 3s current season

quiet hemlock
quiet hemlock
wintry dew
#

Hard for me to give you a proper expansion right now, I'm actually working. Let's see if @jolly sierra can help

radiant glen
# quiet hemlock How does assa play? If you can relate to arms would be nice, otherwise if not th...

u got small rend (garrote) and finisher rend (rupture)
instead of collossus/warbreaker u got shiv
ur avatar is dance and ur big execute is kingsbane

u put up ur "rends"
u find someone to stun
u stun them
u shiv them
you dance and kingsbane them

this is very very oversimplified because cross cc / using blind / smoke bomb / kiting is all left out but CC and surviving comes down to some general arena knowledge also

#

please do not take this as a global for global rotation either, just the general flow of assa

wintry dew
#

Fine @radiant glen all start yelling for your help too :p

quiet hemlock
#

Is it even worth rerolling?

#

Friends suggested it, idk

#

Maybe better to stick with arms? Aaaaaaaaaaa

radiant glen
#

if you're tired of arms and want to try something new, sure
if you find rogue more fun from what you have seen/played, sure
if you're trying to find something only for the next 2 weeks of the season? maybe not worth

quiet hemlock
#

If I had stable teammates I feel I could push glad

#

Like, I've gotten 2.1k as and in 3s without comms pugging

#

On NA

#

Well, technically 2091

#

But still

#

Currently 2026

#

I know I haven't even reached the tip of the iceberg

#

But I want to give it an honest attempt

#

I'd probably be better off as UH either way

wintry dew
#

It was but about 3s but assa gameplay in general

steel scarab
#

I didn't feel assa was easy. We are super fragile. But, I am probably just bad

#

It also seems like total madness to reroll to a spec you've never played, then have to grind losses gathering Conquest gear with only a month left in the season, then have to grind PvE for the Bronze and Aspect Crests to buy and upgrade the excellent Seal of Filial Duty, and have to grind sparks and spend a ton of gold to craft embellishments

#

Like why on earth would you do that to yourself? By the time you start to grasp the spec, the season will be over

#

I also cannot even begin to imagine that Assassination is easier to play than warrior, no offense

#

Assassination is sorta zug zug, but we have small kill windows through opportunities we create, as others said, via Blind cross CC and Smoke Bomb. And you basically get two chances for kills per match, one with Bomb and one with Blind.

I don't get the impression there was that level of nuance to Arms or Fury, which just felt kinda like WW monk, just stick to your target and pure zug the whole match, with higher sustained and less burst than WW

grave basin
#

@quiet hemlock hi

steel scarab
#

People better than me can feel free to correct me if what I'm saying is wrong

grave basin
#

fancy seeing you here

#

i feel like if you vibe with hunter, youll enjoy rogue more than arms

#

more setupy kinda class

crystal flame
#

where can I find a sub rogue pvp talent tree? I have the one on icy veins but I wanna compare it to others

crystal flame
#

do u think i should be focusing more on trying to cc in fights or dps as a new rogue

#

i can basicly do my opener and then when im out of vanish charges im all done

outer sky
#

Wait is healer trinket only 1.5m now?

potent pivot
#

but you need both cc and damage to win games

tawdry imp
#

is it possible to do damage without shadow blades on sub?

potent pivot
#

blades isn't that big of a deal really

tawdry imp
#

I feel like I do absolutely no damage of value outside of a full shadow blades, sepsis, tech

potent pivot
#

you can definitely land kills with just dance, but you've still gotta play the match in a way you make that happen

#

you're rarely going to just one shot someone in a stun even with all your CDs

#

that's just not how the game is anymore

tawdry imp
#

maybe it's just not for me

fallen scaffold
#

not about dmg

tawdry imp
#

Just feels brutal as a newbie in a way that other classes haven’t

calm heath
#

Sub, more than any other spec in the game, really is a hit and run burst damage spec. It's in a not so great place right not because of high HP of most players but your main playstyle in arena is setup opportunities for you and your partner to kill something in a stun+CC window.

#

Most of the time you are going to at least need dance or vanish to do any meaningful damage

outer sky
#

We love to see this. Dead through Tranq less than 1m into the game lol

Went vacation for 3 weeks, completely out in wow and discord. any homie so kind to let me know what’s going on lately

Any major changes

wintry dew
#

Welcome back tarny

#

Nothing major can be said besides they did some fixes to deathstalker, feels better now, some good changes. But still really bad in AoE. Fatebound continues to be okay

grave basin
#

Fatebound continues to do absolutely nothing

wintry dew
#

It's just passive after passive

surreal barn
#

Rogues still got the best mogs tho

wintry dew
#

Absolutely

#

Druids one is pretty good in tww too but they are mainly shapeshifted

wanton breach
crystal flame
#

is evasion basicly make me immune to all dmg (including ticking debuffs) for 10 econds?

#

sorry for noob question i am very new to sub

wintry dew
#

Evasion makes you dodge all frontal melee dmg

crystal flame
#

also, what tips do u have to heal as rogue when i need healing cus i see rogues being able to do alot of healing but idk how

#

like are they using special toys or something etc

#

i know i have my vial and i can vanish and drink

wintry dew
#

In arenas there are no toys or special items

crystal flame
#

for open world?

wintry dew
#

Anything goes

crystal flame
#

i do alot of wpvp thats all

#

mainly what my rogue is for haha

#

im trying to stunlock and kill during my stuns (idk if its possible)

wintry dew
#

Vanish with talent heals you, crimson vial, healing potions, food, etc

crystal flame
#

ill check out that talent thanks

potent pivot
#

only toy type thing you really want for wpvp is the thing that knocks people off their mount

crystal flame
#

something i noticed guys is i 1v1 another rogue and

#

whilst my evasion was up he was able to

#

keephis distance to me (around 7 yards) so that

wintry dew
#

He shadowstepped

crystal flame
#

the fight is still happening, but im oor to hit him for melee

wintry dew
#

Oh

crystal flame
#

it was very clever

#

cus it wasted my evasion

#

and i couldnt hit him

potent pivot
wintry dew
potent pivot
#

thought that's where it was going too yeah

crystal flame
#

little tricks like that can only be performed by an experienced rogue thou

#

for someone like meon day 2

#

i was like omg i cant hit this guy

#

xd

wintry dew
#

You can shadowstep to him

potent pivot
#

well you have shadowstep as well

crystal flame
#

ahhh

potent pivot
#

:d

crystal flame
#

ye i could have

wintry dew
#

Trickz hahah

crystal flame
#

i could have like

#

shadowstepped, into shadow dance

#

into stun

#

i try and basicly like, get all my buffs up but i feel like i lose 1-2 seconds of my buff uptime cus im slow at applying then attacking

#

but then i just

#

stealth stun > eviscarate > shadowstrike > evis > shadow

#

and i use um

#

sepsis and ST on CD

#

and rupture

#

and thats iut

#

it*

#

thats all i do atm

#

i throw in stuns as my stuns are dropping off too

#

but im having a hard time working out who has DR's

#

so who to stun next if im like, 1v2

potent pivot
crystal flame
#

cus i can stun for 16 seconds right?

#

on one player

wintry dew
#

No

#

That's literally impossible

crystal flame
#

i think i can do it on my priest?

#

at least 12 seconds anyway

#

i do MC > chastise > fear > MC

wintry dew
#

That's not a stun

crystal flame
#

ahh

wintry dew
#

That's a chain CC

crystal flame
#

whats the diff

potent pivot
#

some CC will break on damage

#

stuns do not

crystal flame
#

does any of it effect the duration of stun i can do on my enemy

#

or is it the same number

#

(roughly 12 secondsish)

potent pivot
#

well as rogue you have kidney, cheap, blind, gouge, sap

#

but you can only cast damaging abilities while your enemy is kidney'd or cheaped

#

you'll break blind/gouge etc if you do damage to them while they're CC'd

crystal flame
#

i see

#

and when i use disarm

#

can the enemy still hurt me?

potent pivot
#

only certain abilities

crystal flame
#

still its a good talent right>

#

i saw #1 rogue taking it

potent pivot
#

against melee it's good

crystal flame
#

ahh

potent pivot
#

and hunters

crystal flame
#

okay thank you for the answers guys 🙂

potent pivot
#

other rogues for example can still shuriken toss/pistol shot/poison knife

crystal flame
#

im not a good rogue by any means but

potent pivot
#

or shuriken storm/fan of knives

crystal flame
#

im getting better at literal crowd controlling a group of enemies whilst

#

dpsing 1 down

#

and i feel like thats all i can do rly

wintry dew
#

You're playing assa or sub?

crystal flame
#

sub ^^

#

i picked sub for personal reasons

#

haha

#

it appeals to my nature

#

: D

wintry dew
#

Fair enough

crystal flame
#

and

#

i want a spec that...

#

isnt too focussed on dmg abilities

#

and i felt like sub focuses more on stuns and stealth

#

and thats what i wanted so

wintry dew
#

Sub is just a cc bot for a mage

crystal flame
#

im someone who can do alittle more than just dps in the fights so

#

i wanted the harder job

#

but i am v new to dps

#

ive been a healer for 11 years

#

but luckily i do arena on my priest for a long time so

#

i did have 1 last question and it seems obvious but

#

if going stealth (especially in arena) and waiting for my CDs to come back up like vanish and SB etc

#

i should do it right, and just wait?

#

if my opener didnt work properly or something

#

(you guys are using mouseover macro for shadowstep right?)

potent pivot
#

you don't want to just sit around that long

crystal flame
#

its a long time to wait but

#

it creates dampening which is good for me no?

potent pivot
#

restealths are still good but you want to be pretty active in arena

crystal flame
#

i only ask cus ive seen rogues doing this over the years

#

ye

#

i understand

potent pivot
#

what's your team mate going to do while your sitting there

crystal flame
#

just wait with me 🙂

#

haha

wintry dew
#

What if he can't stealth

potent pivot
#

you gotta be running around peeling for them and doing damage

crystal flame
#

ah ye.

#

theyll just target the mage

#

and mage is a kill target so

#

its not gonna end well

potent pivot
#

especially if your doing double dps in 2v2

#

with no healer you need to be putting up constant pressure

crystal flame
#

tyvm ^^

wintry dew
#

Jelly, this is important and although I've said it already I'll repeat it

#

Evasion only makes you dodge FRONTAL physical damage

crystal flame
#

ahah im glad u repeated it

#

so

#

if i evade and run

#

i am doing nothing

wintry dew
#

If you pop evasion VS a rogue, he can simply shadowstep you (he'll be on your back) and stun you

crystal flame
#

and then just dps me

potent pivot
#

you can run but you need to like, jump and turn around mid air

crystal flame
#

see theres alot u need to know about playing rogue for pvp

#

ye xD

#

hahahaha

potent pivot
#

there's a trick to running with evasion

#

it's not hard

crystal flame
#

u just turn and jump every so often

#

or?

potent pivot
#

you jump so you keep moving away

#

and turn a 180 mid air

crystal flame
#

yeye

#

i understand

potent pivot
#

kk

wintry dew
#

And look like a maniac doing it

crystal flame
#

XD

potent pivot
crystal flame
#

an alive maniac

#

😉

wintry dew
#

True

crystal flame
#

i have noticed when im 1v1ing rogues

#

they have advantage, whole fight

#

but same gear and talents

#

but its just cus im new

potent pivot
#

it's a tricky class

wintry dew
#

That happens with any class

crystal flame
#

i get stuck on what to do when i have no abilities i can use cus no CP or SD left etc

wintry dew
#

If you don't know what you're doing, and they do, you lost

crystal flame
#

which is backstab > into a combo move

#

but i hesitate so

#

i see al my buttons grayed out

#

and im like WHAT DO I PRESS

#

and then theyre like 3 moves ahead

#

and ive pressed nothing

wintry dew
#

Sub rogue is exactly that

#

Being 3 steps ahead of your opponent

crystal flame
#

luckily what i do as a new rogue is

#

i stun, and for 1 second of the stun, i work out what im gonna be pressing

#

so i lose 1 second for every stun but

#

at least im doing something

wintry dew
#

I can't truly help you with sub because I rarely play it

crystal flame
#

ah its okay ill be around every so often with questions probably

#

just little things

#

im playing sub for fun cus

#

im too good at my priest to swap mains so

#

it is all just for fun

#

but i figured this will teach me how to counter rogues even better so

#

i find the best way to counter a rogue and this was before playing rogue is to just "fuck them up" so just

#

stun as much as possible

#
