  • cc on enemies
steep loom
#

i put pressure on my healers and just blow em both back to back if it seems like a good opportunity

#

lol

vivid pond
#

so i kidney the healer

#

vanish

#

and spam between the eyes as much as i can

steep loom
#

you put out so many finishers if you can get a full subt window in, that by the time ur second vanish subt window is closing, its only a few seconds till that first charge comes back

vivid pond
#

oh

#

ok

chrome schooner
#

overexaggerating much but well

potent pivot
#

from what i've been seeing dispatch is doing more dam than bte on beta

chrome schooner
#

it would be good tbh

potent pivot
#

like your consistent dam is so much better than lately in DF

chrome schooner
#

this outlaw gameplay, even though some people may like it, isn't what I think outlaw should be

potent pivot
#

wdym, crackshot?

vivid pond
#

i think outlaw relying on stealth windows is goofy

chrome schooner
#

going for a more "combat" gameplay makes more sense to me

vivid pond
#

^

potent pivot
#

i loved outlaw in late SL

#

ik it was broken for a while

chrome schooner
#

ye when it was super ultra busted :p

vivid pond
#

that was peak outlaw

#

straightforward to play

potent pivot
#

but just brawling the entire time was so fun

chrome schooner
#

but yes, it felt good in terms of how it worked

#

regardless of efficiency

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

like even without as much CDR

#

that gameplay was peak

chrome schooner
#

tbh they should kinda remove cdr from some spells

#

like vanish, sprint & hook

#

leave it on offensive spells

potent pivot
#

CDR kinda makes assa feel left behind

chrome schooner
#

then the spec is balanceable

potent pivot
#

at a core level

vivid pond
#

you know what else would be nice

chrome schooner
#

'cause with cdr on vanish + mobility outlaw is either broken because it deals good dmg or bad 'cause it kills nothing

vivid pond
#

if assass was supposed to be pressing envenom as much as it did in sl

chrome schooner
#
  • yes as you said it actually impacts assa a lot
outer sky
#

who's "everyone"?

#

I mean I'm on beta and WW is doing trash damage. Not just me. The ones I queue into, too

potent pivot
outer sky
vivid pond
potent pivot
#

maybe they're coping on something they experienced idk

surreal barn
#

What I hate most about all of these changes is not being able to kidney the healer before my go lol

surreal barn
#

I find myself having to use it on the KT

vivid pond
#

oh like that

#

i dont mind kidneying the kt

#

i find it easier

surreal barn
#

Yeah it’s easier

#

Easier for the healer to heal

vivid pond
#

the coin one looks annoying to play

outer sky
vivid pond
#

i think outlaw takes the biggest L with the kidney change

outer sky
potent pivot
#

deathstalker tree nodes do less dmg but buff your bleeds/envenom

#

but coin does pretty big dam from what i've seen

outer sky
potent pivot
#

ah really

vivid pond
#

because then envenom might actually be a button that gets pressed more often

vivid pond
#

😦

outer sky
#

youll press it when you get a lingering darkness proc

#

in a kill window

vivid pond
#

does it hit hard?

outer sky
#

thats all that will change about envenom

vivid pond
#

or eh

outer sky
#

no lmfao

vivid pond
#

😦

#

so whats the point of deathstalker then

potent pivot
#

it hits hard if you fully lean into it

outer sky
#

it hits hard enough to make it worth pressing in that situation

#

but its not gunna be game winning

#

just the best button in the rotation at that time

potent pivot
#

but then you end up with a janky build and your big envenom is pretty easy to counter

vivid pond
#

ok

#

hows sub looking in tww

potent pivot
#

good

outer sky
vivid pond
#

ah

vivid pond
potent pivot
#

it can yeah

outer sky
#

good enough

vivid pond
#

i heard you can get a 4,000,000 eviscerate

outer sky
#

the hp nerf helped

vivid pond
#

not sure about that tho

potent pivot
#

you're not going to 100-0 someone in a kidney

#

but it's decent

outer sky
#

most ive ever seen was 1.4m

#

evisc

potent pivot
#

i've seen 1.8m

vivid pond
#

so out of the 3 which one looks the best

potent pivot
#

non-dfa as well

potent pivot
#

speculating that right now is kinda pointless

outer sky
vivid pond
#

oh ok

#

also is this worth playing now

potent pivot
#

i've seen outlaw do similar dps to assa

outer sky
potent pivot
#

sub overall dps as always looks less considerable

outer sky
#

I think the jury is still out on whether or not we want to play Kingsbane

outer sky
#

yeah its shit

potent pivot
#

i think that's the only meaningful choice we're going to have

#

drop CT or KB for SBS

vivid pond
potent pivot
#

lmao

vivid pond
#

so can i drop ct and kingsbane for bonespike?

potent pivot
#

you'd drop MA and CT

#

or MA and KB

#

for DB->SBS

outer sky
#

Drop MA and KB

#

This is what ive been playing on beta

vivid pond
outer sky
#

had the best luck with

vivid pond
potent pivot
#

you don't drop both CT and KB

vivid pond
#

😦

potent pivot
#

MA is worthless now

vivid pond
#

right

potent pivot
#

yeah and i don't think it works proper with subt

vivid pond
#

how often do i have to press ct

outer sky
# vivid pond no shadowdance

it was mostly for dance+a chance to crit with KB but since the changes, if you're playing KB you macro Cold Blood to it so it will always crit anyway

potent pivot
#

anytime you already have garrote and rupture up on people

outer sky
vivid pond
potent pivot
#

ye

outer sky
vivid pond
#

oh

potent pivot
#

your bleeds buff each other

vivid pond
#

SO WHEN TF DO I GET TO ENVENOM

#

😭

vivid pond
potent pivot
#

when you're trying to kill someone

potent pivot
vivid pond
#

oh

potent pivot
vivid pond
#

do i kidney on cd btw

potent pivot
#

that is up for debate now with the increased CD

vivid pond
potent pivot
#

most likely tho

#

you pretty much did before yeah

outer sky
vivid pond
#

so how does assass burst without kingsbane then

potent pivot
#

just depends on the situation though

#

burst

#

what is this word

outer sky
vivid pond
#

😦

outer sky
#

but here's the thing

#

even with KB

potent pivot
#

they've been moving further and further away from burst

outer sky
#

its non existant

potent pivot
#

since the end of SL

outer sky
#

you legit dont even have to CC the healer until the game gets damp or the enemy team starts getting low

vivid pond
#

so do i just deathmark as much as i can now

#

bc last season i was just saving it for some guy with no trinket

outer sky
potent pivot
#

i wonder if outlaw is even going to care about needing haste for ADR

#

pretty sure if you run enough haste to get back the .8s gcd, you get 1 extra global during a kidney

#

that feels kinda worth no?

vivid pond
#

assass seems depressing all of a sudden

fading blade
#

welcome to rogue

potent pivot
#

could be worse

#

we could be DH rn

vivid pond
#

dh is so boring

#

😂

outer sky
#

or WW

winged sentinel
#

so which plate class are you guys rolling

stoic spruce
stoic spruce
#

Going fury

vivid pond
#

you used to be in warr discord

stoic spruce
#

Stopped playing warr

#

In df

#

I'll be back soon

vivid pond
#

i left that discord also

stoic spruce
#

My trolling knows no bounds

vivid pond
#

very trashy

stoic spruce
#

Very

potent pivot
quaint cedar
potent pivot
quaint cedar
#

Also like Popo said it feels like shit without enough haste

#

Yes pretty sure

potent pivot
#

but i'm not sure

stoic spruce
#

Yeah 25

quaint cedar
#

You get some free haste too

#

Alacrity + Take Your Cut + Take 'Em by Surprise

potent pivot
#

are we even going to play alac tho

stoic spruce
#

It'll also depend on what tree we're using

quaint cedar
#

So you don't have to gear to 25% haste. I think mine just has 10% and that feels fine

#

Why wouldn't we play alac? We need deeper strat

potent pivot
#

i also don't like the idea of depending on alac in pvp

#

for the adr gcd

vivid pond
#

oh also

quaint cedar
#

I don't either. It's a terrible change

vivid pond
#

which of these 2 talents do i pick

#

already have this

potent pivot
quaint cedar
#

But stats are squished so low you really can't do 25% haste

vivid pond
potent pivot
vivid pond
#

7 combo point assass would be weird

potent pivot
#

they're playing 7cp in pve iirc

potent pivot
#

i like stats having more to do with your class

#

it's just a weird way to implement it

outer sky
potent pivot
#

haste is so dogshit they could give rogue hasted GCD

sharp sierra
#

damn I hate rogues as much as the next person but nerfing kidney shot to 30 seconds is just dumb.

#

Hopefully you guys get these reverted

stoic spruce
#

Honestly the least of my worries as an outlaw main

outer sky
sharp sierra
#

lol

vivid pond
#

i just want assass to have more burst

#

and no ct

#

could care less bout the kidney shot cd

sharp sierra
#

See pikaboo's post

#

lol

#

40k view in under 24h

outer sky

potent pivot
#

twitter

vivid pond
sharp sierra
potent pivot
#

i linked it yesterday

stoic spruce
#

Oh yeah that

sharp sierra
#

hopefully they listen either way

#

i never trust their dev team

#

i guarantee half dont even play the game

outer sky
#

Pikaboo is half the reason we keep getting nerfed to begin with

vivid pond
#

im telling you its an operation to make wow die

sharp sierra
#

lmao

vivid pond
#

and for league of legends mmo to be popular

#

tencent owns stock in riot and blizzard

quaint cedar
sharp sierra
#

im sure a lot will get tuned during s1

#

first few weeks

stoic spruce
#

Make outlaw fun for me and then I'll care about it

outer sky
#

if only there was a version of the game they could base tuning on before the season goes live

#

idk like

#

a beta or something

#

would be nice

vivid pond
#

imagine if they listened to feedback

potent pivot
#

#MaimNerfWhen?

sharp sierra
#

WORLD OF BETACRAFT! Paid beta testing, the last 20 years!

vivid pond
#

idk why they are increasing the cd on cc

#

INSTEAD OF JUST REMOVING CC CDS

#

like dh doesnt need 2 stuns and incap or cyclone then a fear

outer sky
vivid pond
#

priest doesnt need a root

stoic spruce
#

If they wanted to reduce rogue control, they'd put a cooldown on cheapshot

vivid pond
#

dont give them ideas

stoic spruce
#

They'd have something much worse cooking

outer sky
#

they cant really put a CD on cheap shot since it's only usable during a small window

quaint cedar
#

Too late, blizz already taking notes

vivid pond
outer sky
#

would gut the ability

quaint cedar
#

Cheap shot already has a CD, it's whatever the CD of your next vanish/dance is

stoic spruce
sharp sierra
#

snupy gonna have a wild season with those buffs to feral

vivid pond
#

and what i cant understand is why blizzard doesnt just remove more buttons instead of adding more

#

new players arent joining at all

stoic spruce
#

And 2 vanish charges

quaint cedar
#

I think it's a lost cause trying to worry about bringing in new players

#

MMOs just aren't as popular as they used to be

#

Better off trying to retain what they have

vivid pond
#

just wait till league of legends mmo comes out

#

thats the 1 game that might derail wow

vivid pond
potent pivot
vivid pond
#

by a whole year

quaint cedar
#

Isn't elden ring not really much of an mmo? idk never played it

potent pivot
#

More than that I thought?

#

They like completely scrapped the project

outer sky
#

6 second subterfuge is living on borrowed time

#

that will be nerfed to 4s before the end of season 1

potent pivot
#

Elden ring is not an MMO lol

#

It’s just an rpg

vivid pond
#

oh

potent pivot
#

It just has online co op or pvp or whateverthefuck

winged sentinel
#

ghostcrawler is making an mmo guys don’t worry

vivid pond
#

what the heck is ghostcrawler

#

😂

winged sentinel
#

damn I’m old

potent pivot
#

A big past wow dev

quaint cedar
#

lol

winged sentinel
#

he’s an OG wow dev

vivid pond
#

was he good

potent pivot
#

A lot of ppl liked him ye

vivid pond
#

thats cool

#

idk

#

i think the only mmo that might give wow a run for its money would be the league of legends one

winged sentinel
#

yeah having a big existing IP would prob help a lot

quaint cedar
#

everyone always thinks the next mmo will "kill wow" and yet we're all still here

vivid pond
#

but league of legends is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

winged sentinel
#

will league players enjoy an MMO tho

#

It’s so different from what league currently is

vivid pond
#

all i know

#

is riot hasnt had 1 failed game

#

besides like

#

runeterra

#

😂

#

that game was awful

vivid pond
#

so ide assume they dont like wow

#

idk

#

we'll see when the time comes

#

hopefully wow just gets its shit together

warped gate

#

they nerf

#

kidney?

potent pivot
#

20sec CD -> 30sec CD

nova viper
#

wtf blizzard

#

why not removing class ristas

potent pivot
#

it's not the end of the world

shy nebula
#

Look what happened on my last arena of the day

potent pivot
#

nice lmao

#

something's bugged

shy nebula
#

No, just a demon lock and a lot of living bombs

#

XDDD

potent pivot
#

there's no shot lmaoo

shy nebula
#

YES he also summoned two pets before the go

#

it was HILARIOUS

outer sky
#

yeah thats what fire mage does on live if there's a lot of pets

jolly sierra
#

disable rogue

shy nebula

Is the 30 sec kidney CD change on beta already?

jolly sierra
#

try with a DFA now

outer sky
#

1.5m aint that hard

#

considering what you have to do to get it

#

so my testing in SS is going okay. Winning more than losing. But, we also have to remember dampening ramps up faster in SS than in regular 3v3. So my rot becomes unhealable much earlier in the game

#

Idk how well this will translate to real 3s

surreal barn
#

Just will take longer

#

With how op lock and mage are though you’ll have way more win conditions in normal 3s

outer sky
#

Devokers having a 2m smoke bomb is actually kind of toxic

surreal barn
#

And spriest lol

halcyon timber
#

It's darkest night giving an amp to eviscerate. Literally the same with all the trees but in a diff way with perks. It isn't nuts or anything. DFA doesn't stack with any of these effects to avoid some silly cheese. Other classes hit harder as well.

surreal barn
#

AoE disint and AoE grip are going to be sooo fun 🤦‍♂️

surreal barn
halcyon timber
#

Them tokyo drifting with taco bell breath is pretty fun too.

halcyon timber
surreal barn
#

Yeah. After testing sub and assa today I gotta say assa seems more fun 😔

halcyon timber
#

Forever subtlety no matter what. I'm no turn coat.

surreal barn
#

I am def turn coat

outer sky
#

shit I have like 12 coats

#

I just want 1 rogue spec to be S tier, idc which one it is

surreal barn
#

If I don’t like the playstyle i don’t care how op it is

outer sky
#

and if not then make WW S tier

#

rogue and WW are the only 2 specs in the game that are fun

halcyon timber
#

Not a fan of encouraging fotm rolling

#

If we are all doing well then that is all a rogue should hope for

outer sky
halcyon timber
#

Exhausting repeating the same nonsense of nerfing to stun bot land

outer sky
halcyon timber
#

They aren't going to

#

We were specifically told we aren't repeating anything, especially legion nonsense.

#

What we have is a past meets present and that is fine. Making silly "one shots" and hoping to be ridiculous isn't healthy and as someone who advocates for all rogues but only messes with Subtlety since I started in TBC I don't want any of that crap.

#

Play what people want and do whatt they want but the muddying our name and being a meme has to stop once and for all.

outer sky
#

the way sub is in its current configuration, it either does too much damage and kills through defensives, or too little damage that it's reduced to being a stun bot for a mage

#

I still have wet dreams about S1 SL sub rogue with pre-nerfed reprimand

#

if anyone wants to have some fun on pre patch as assa, next week is the week to do it

#

we're getting all of our damage buffs that are on beta

#

stam being nerfed in pvp

#

but no level 80 gear

#

so we'll just be 1 shotting everyone

#

"Storm, Earth, and Fire clones are now immune to all crowd control and their movement speed has been increased by 20%."

#

YESSSS

finally

#

the plague has been lifted

CB for Env?

outer sky
#

no, kingsbane

#

just macro it

wild wigeon
#

kk

#

yeah

wild wigeon
#

We only casting muti? or is ambush ok?

potent pivot
#

if you were going to press mut in a stealth window you'd ambush instead, that's fine

#

but you rarely want to do either in a stealth window

wild wigeon
#

gotcha

potent pivot
#

garrote is your main thing

#

in a stealth window

wild wigeon
#

currently just blowing people up in the echoe area's

#

they're just falling over lol

outer sky
#

Screenshot pre kidney nerf and small sample size, but damage diff across the 3 specs.

I see the kidney change as a positive if it actually makes sub have more of a reason to stand out and be less fotm than assa/outlaw being the majority of top 8 AWC.

Gouge change matters more

#

I made it to Nahj's X

potent pivot
outer sky
#

Not a fan of how my death is in his chatbox

#

Hes saying the gouge nerf is more impactful than the kidney nerf

potent pivot
#

idk how much i agree with some of nahj's takes man

#

he really hates assa

#

like

#

really hates it

stoic spruce
#

Me with sub

halcyon timber
#

Everyone’s grandparents knows

stoic spruce
#

That's not enough

halcyon timber
#

Just all 3 specs do well and shake hands and call it a day

#

CC tax has to stop too

stoic spruce
#

Low-key want a CD on cheapshot just to see the reaction

potent pivot
#

spec hatred is just weird to me idk

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

we all play the same triple dps class

stoic spruce
#

It's the players

#

Like human rets

stoic spruce
#

Like

#

"Oh its the same that's ALWAYS an issue. It's fine tho"

potent pivot
#

huh

#

wdym

stoic spruce
#

Boomie for example

#

Right

#

You queue in as a warrior and it just deletes you every game

#

I'd say hating a spec after experiences like that are warrented

potent pivot
#

i mean

#

hating boomkins is one thing

#

but a rogue main hating on other rogue specs idk

#

-# (Everyone hates boomkins, even boomkin players)

stoic spruce
#

Sub annoys tf out of me no matter what I play

#

Sub is my boomie

#

It's unfortunate outlaw is my favorite

#

Peak irony

potent pivot
#

i like all 3 specs

stoic spruce
#

Man

#

There are people that wake up and go "I think I'll play guardian druid in pvp today"

#

But you know what? I guarantee you they're having the most fun.

#

I was going to do that with brm but it had way too many binds

nahj has this weird hatred for wind walker

#

When rogues been the natural predator to ww since the dawn of time

jolly sierra
#

the one which can reply that kind of stuff is blakezilla tho

#

he is w NA big ones

potent pivot
#

idk this is not the first time i'm hearing ww is good

#

like the 3rd time lmao

#

snupy, aeghis, and now nahj

ruby sentinel
#

images not being ccable is kinda huge no cap

potent pivot
#

maybe it's a conspiracy

outer sky
#

Ok I full sent it

#

Level yet another profession

#

so engineering

#

on beta

#

and made the bracers and goggles

#

so now I have 57% mastery baseline

#

and 20% vers lol

#

so ive level leatherworking, jewelcrafting, blacksmithing, tailoring, and engineering on beta

#

to get the optimum gear

jolly sierra
#

nahj is working with the CIA and wanna do internal conflict to set a new era for subs

outer sky
potent pivot
#

just weird to hear multiple people say the same thing

halcyon timber
#

They did buff a lot and ww is ignoring a good bit of armor now

outer sky
#

yeah, no LOL this shit is NOT good

#

Idc how many r1 titles someone has

swift smelt
#

how’s dh on beta

outer sky
potent pivot
outer sky
#

Changed around my build and stats

potent pivot

idk fam

outer sky
potent pivot
#

thewy been pumping

potent pivot
outer sky
#

I just posted my WW game and you insta post that lol

#

Do you have his damage breakdown available by any chance?

potent pivot
#

i went to check some of thewy's clips when i got back and saw your first WW game

#

just got back on a few minutes ago

#

i don't have any breakdowns naw

#

his vods are sub only so i only checked a couple clips

#

i don't really know any other monks that stream either, that i can think of anyway

#

don't think trill is really allowed to show any beta testing

#

mvq is streaming beta dh games

outer sky
#

this was my most recent game

potent pivot
#

tellin ya man

#

ppl saying it's good

#

everyone's been saying dh is bad

#

mvq just said he thinks it's good

stoic spruce
#

We need a larger sample size

potent pivot
#

go check thewy's clips

#

he's top or second from top dam in all of em that i saw

grave basin
#

Is that through shadow pan ?

#

Cause it just got buffed

#

What even changed for it to pump so hard ?

#

Also, where tf is glyph of jab

grave basin
jolly sierra
grave basin
#

And he's using some weapon enchant

jolly sierra
#

is a very old ability which was baked into tiger palm

grave basin
#

That's super overtuned

#

Idk what it was but it's top of his damage by a bit

#

So thewy might be using that as well

#

Gimme jab man I wanna use my wep

jolly sierra
#

is tiger palm

#

literal

grave basin
#

Different animation

#

Jab uses your weapon like disable

jolly sierra
#

i say

#

the glyph

#

replaces tiger for jab

grave basin
#

Yea but it's not implemented

jolly sierra
#

so the damage is technically from palm

grave basin
#

For some reason

#

They said they're gonna reintroduce it again

jolly sierra
#

finally

grave basin
#

But it's no where to be found

jolly sierra
#

they have 20 days to introduce it into the spaghet code

grave basin
#

It's in the code

#

But they goofed cause it says requires: priest

#

😂

#

On wowhead you can see it

jolly sierra
#

XD

outer sky
#

lol

#

okay

#

guys

#

so

#

if you can get the most amount of mastery possible

#

assa is like

#

insane

#

I'm running around with 19% vers

#

400k garrote ticks

#

you bleed everyone on your opener and the whole team just starts falling over

#

just had a 5-1 and 6-0 back to back

#

shiv 2 different people at the same time

#

death mark one

#

you get every CD

#

and I didnt even have shaman buff

#

which is another 2% mastery lol

#

Got dat big 2.2

jolly sierra
#

for that isnt better to rather run arterial precision?

#

so u save shivs?

outer sky
#

I do run that

#

But people arent always stacked

outer sky
#

I dont play kingsbane so I m literally only pressing shiv for the bleed damage

potent pivot
#

Weren’t we just dooming yesterday

outer sky
#

well you see

#

This is like

#

end of season gear I have

#

I'm in full crafted gear besides tier

#

engi goggles and bracers

potent pivot
#

Isn’t that everyone on beta

outer sky
#

No

#

most people arent crafting

potent pivot
#

Well

#

Everyone that’s competitive is

indigo hill
#

I'm also crafting but still need a few more pieces.

#

At least it’s really easy on beta

#

You just spam click a bunch of shit

outer sky
#

whats so annoying is that our 2 set is completely useless. It literally does nothing for us

#

but 4 set is really good

potent pivot
#

But leveling LW/eng/JC etc must be annoying

outer sky
potent pivot
#

Dunno why they don’t just put every crafted item on a vendor as well

outer sky
potent pivot
potent pivot
outer sky
potent pivot
#

Ew

#

How many ilvl are u losing

#

Using crafted instead of conq

outer sky
#

on beta all gear scales to 632 in arena no matter what it is or how you get it

potent pivot
#

Ah true

#

If crafted is lower than conq on live

#

It’s not gonna be worth running on every slot

potent pivot
#

Which I’m quite happy about

outer sky
#

our 4 set is basically 10% increased bleed damage

potent pivot
#

I think sub is going to be good in general

#

From what I’ve seen anyway

#

Might not be great in shuffle

#

But 3s

outer sky
#

whats annoying is

#

some of my gear is 636 ilvl

#

and it gets nerfed to 632 in arena

wintry dew
#

Assa S1 tier set tww = assa S1 tier set DF, but inverted

outer sky
#

God what I wouldn't give for this to only need 2 ruptures up

potent pivot
outer sky
#

what do you guys think about using this cloak enchant

#

As opposed to this one

#

you lose 2% speed

#

and gain 1% leech

#

but I'm thinking

#

we drop combat a lot

#

with double vanish and meld

#

it could do some good healing

wintry dew
#

Keep in mind

#

"every 5 seconds"

#

For it to actually heal you need to afk a lot

outer sky
#

yeah...

wintry dew
#

The idea is good, but the 5 seconds rule not so much

potent pivot
outer sky
#

no there's a 3rd but it's avoidance

potent pivot
#

of course

#

what's a wow season without an avoidance cloak enchant

outer sky
#

theres a bracer one too lol

potent pivot
#

they really like to repeat the most odd things

#

i'd prolly just take the speed honestly

#

depends on if the healing enchant procs like

#

the first second you're OOC

#

if it does it might be worth but 250k is small compared to new health pools

outer sky
#

the avoidance is BiS for PvE

potent pivot
#

ik

#

it's just boring af

outer sky
#

the gap in healer quality in this game is crazy

#

I just lost a round where I was doing 750k dps and my devoker was doing 1.2m dps

#

other team was half that

#

their healer could keep up

#

ours couldnt

potent pivot
#

yeh

#

shuffle is very much based on healer diff

#

unforch

outer sky
#

so if anyone is wondering

#

our 4 set as assa has bettween 50 and 60% uptime

#

give or take

#

I also found an embellishment that's not trash

#

playing 2 of these

#

38% uptime last lobby

potent pivot
#

so it's only +5% bleed dmg

outer sky
#

yeah that's pretty much all tier sets though

potent pivot
#

sub's isn't

#

sin and outlaws are

outer sky
#

what's subs do again

potent pivot
#

sectech dmg

outer sky
#

I find it hilarious that WW monk's tier set is nerfed 50% in pvp

potent pivot
outer sky
#

it makes tiger palm cause your next damaging ability to do 5% more damage

#

thats pre nerf

potent pivot
#

and other finishers w/e

outer sky
#

in pvp its 2.5% more damage

#

so tier in pvp amounts to a whopping 0.25% dps increase for WW

potent pivot
#

lmao

#

that's fucked

#

i'm honestly surprised sub's isn't nerfed

#

maybe they realized it wasn't doing well

outer sky
#

wait I have an idea

#

62.5

#

57.8

potent pivot
outer sky
#

19.52

#

18.31

#

4.7

#

1.2

#

ok yeah that's good enough for me

#

fuck tier as assa

#

if you run crafted gear instead you get 4.7% more mastery and 1.2% more vers

#

instead of 5% increased bleed damage half the game

#

you get more than that the whole game

#

plus the defensive benefit of vers

#

poorly designed tier set

#

Am I missing something?

#

Why would we ever run tier if this is the case

#

I am running the tier leggings though because that's a ton of mastery AND we need some crit for cursed mastery to be usable

potent pivot
#

2set might buff kingsbane

outer sky
#

it does

#

but thats also nerfed in pvp

#

0.5% per stack

#

so 5% KB damage

potent pivot
#

ye

outer sky
#

which is eclipsed by the vers and mastery bonus of not running tier

potent pivot
#

eh

#

depends how KB does

#

you could run 2set only and still get some more mastery than if you were running 4set

#

ya get me

outer sky
#

you'd run shoulders and legs then

potent pivot
#

just really depends on whether KB is worth a fuck

#

yeh

outer sky
#

yeah so for sure fuck 4 set

#

and fuck 2 set unless you're playing KB

#

if you ruin 2 set you lose 0.5% mastery and gain 0.7% vers

#

so def worth if running KB

potent pivot
#

idk if i'd get to caught up on stats rn anyway

#

some stats could definitely change when it goes live

outer sky
#

yeah but beta is our best guess

potent pivot
#

yeah i'm just saying that it may end up being wasted time

#

like discussing the actual dmg from the tier set is good

#

that won't change

#

and likely the same stuff will hold true for the most part

#

but the actual math you're doing may end up not being right

#

when comparing individual pieces of gear to running tier or not etc

grave basin
#

S1 tier set is hilariously undertuned

#

Even for pve

#

For most specs, and that's before the 50% PvP tax

outer sky
#

well if beta went live right now we wouldnt be running 4 set in pvp

#

its a dps loss

#

2 set only if playing kingsbane

#

which I'm not sold on at all

#

guys

#

how crazy is it to run sanguine strat

#

is 2 extra yards of FoK really worth losing a combo point and 5% bleed damage?

#

@potent pivot thoughts?

#

This game is so bad

#

5-1 and 0 rating

indigo hill
#

Playing ass?

outer sky
#

yeah

vivid pond
#

you guys see the huge rogue buffs?

outer sky
vivid pond
#

supatease posted a video

#

massive damage buffs

#

for every spec

outer sky
#

link?

outer sky
#

I mean if I do any more damage I'll win in the opener every game

vivid pond
#

check

outer sky
#

oh this

#

I thought you meant beta

#

yeah they're updating the damage modifiers on retail to be the same as the ones on beta

vivid pond
outer sky
#

yeah those chages already went live on beta

vivid pond
#

oh

outer sky
#

its pretty meaningless on retail

#

since no season

vivid pond
#

😦

outer sky
#

its part of their transition to TWW

vivid pond
#

i got excited lol

outer sky
#

here I'm on beta right now. You can see venomous wounds is already buffed

vivid pond
#

does it make a big diff?

outer sky
#

I notice it yeah

vivid pond
#

cool

#

have you tested outlaw by chance?

outer sky
#

yeah

#

Its okay

vivid pond
#

so assass is still best of the 3?

outer sky
#

IMO yes

#

it does the most overall dps, i'm 100% certain of that

#

and by a decent margin

vivid pond
#

which spec is #2 in your opinion

vivid pond
outer sky
#

hard to tell, sub and outlaw are pretty even

#

depends on comp probs

vivid pond
#

ok

#

does outlaw need setups or just sub

outer sky
#

Sub is more set up dependant than any other rogue spec but we all want set ups

#

although assass is pretty pve right now

#

we have 0 burst

#

its all rot

vivid pond
#

oh i had a question about outlaw

#

is killing spree my biggest burst ability

#

or when am i supposed to use it

outer sky
#

You use it on CD

#

its the most damage you do with a single button press, yes

vivid pond
#

ok

#

so outlaw just does everything on cd

outer sky
#

pretty much

vivid pond
#

ok

outer sky
#

don't quote me on this but

#

I wouldn't be surprised if you want to macro ghostly strike to killing spree

vivid pond
#

i might even do that

#

so do i spend my kidneys on the healer or dps

outer sky
#

situational

vivid pond
#

when do i what

outer sky
#

sec queue popped

stoic spruce
#

When your teammates CDs are up, healer.

#

Downtime or defensively, dps

#

Cliff notes

outer sky
#

basically

stoic spruce
#

Your CDs are always up so don't think about that part too deeply

vivid pond
#

is crit or mastery better

stoic spruce
#

If I don't say "What are you doing step-kidney?" When I step into kidney, I lose.

#

Crit

vivid pond
#

so 97% mastery isnt good

#

😂

stoic spruce
#

Lmaooo no

#

I've never played Outlaw with that much mastery

vivid pond
#

whats my dps supposed to be at

#

like 100k?

stoic spruce
#

I'm trying to remember. Its been a minute

#

About that I think

vivid pond
#

oof

stoic spruce
#

Ngmi?

#

Some people say not to bte outside crackshot windows but me personally I don't really mind bte being on CD when vanish comes back.

#

But the dmg loss from not using bte outside crackshot is negligible at best.

vivid pond
#

ngmi is what

stoic spruce
#

Not gonna make it

we talkin about outlaw?

Now we are

so dead u need a drilling company to bury u out

I'm gonna hit glad with outlaw next season for sure

But I'll be complaining the whole time

im gonna hit glad with hpally and my mage

very good still

but ye whatever u choose to play as a mage its always good

stupid god class

stoic spruce
#

Arcane pops off too

#

Wild

#

Man all the casters got cool hero trees too

#

Not many melee.

#

Dk did

#

Blue blood boil is cool. Can't play blood in pvp tho

vivid pond
#

assass vs assass is a fun lobby

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Right

#

But not doing also doesn't lose you anything

#

I send it on cd personally

outer sky
#

the reason you dont want to do that is because you want it off CD for your vanish so you can use your vanish asap and get it on CD so it starts getting the CDR from restless blades. Also because if you get Ace procs it rappidly speeds up your CDR

#

more vanishes used = more vanishes overall = more crackshots = more dps

#

so holding vanish for BTE is a major dps loss

stoic spruce
#

Right

#

Which is why you don't do that

#

Goober

outer sky
#

if you send BTE on CD when vanish has less than 45s left on its CD you'll end up doing that

stoic spruce
#

I'm not sending a bte with 15s left of vanish cd lol

#

Damn ace nerf

outer sky
#

thing thats actually really pissing me off on beta rn is how they still havent put numbers to fatal intent

stoic spruce
#

Wdym?

vivid pond
#

back to back

stoic spruce
#

Is that beta

vivid pond
#

nah

#

off season shuffles are fun af

stoic spruce
#

Do outlaw now :)

outer sky
# stoic spruce Wdym?

They can't figure out how to tune this hero talent so right now it's just doing nothing.

stoic spruce
#

It's fun I swear :]

vivid pond
#

😂

stoic spruce
#

It's n00b friendly I swearsies

#

C:

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Amazing

outer sky
#

if they do this right then 20% = dead

stoic spruce
#

Surely that tree is good for assa right

outer sky
#

this is the best assa tree

stoic spruce
#

Inflicts 0 plague damage lol

outer sky
#

its also the best sub tree

#

outlaw prefers fatebound

stoic spruce
#

Right

#

Trickster DoA

outer sky
#

Trickster is garbage

stoic spruce
#

Was looking toward that one the most too when hero trees were announced

outer sky
#

theyre trying to make it impactful but also not an insta kill at 20% lol

stoic spruce
#

Imagine

#

You go into the group finder to pug a raid for vault or w/e

#

And it's a huge list of "LF Assa Deathstalker"

outer sky
#

yeah only deathstalker assa dps. boss just dies at 20%

stoic spruce
#

Is it weird to think that assa being an execute spec makes sense?

outer sky
#

makes sense to me

vivid pond
outer sky
#

plus fatebound is just super good for outlaw

ocean silo
#

hi, i switched from gladius to gladiusex (because framesort didn't work for me on gladius), and I setup everything fine, but inside arena it doesn't show. Anyone has a similar issue?

#

sArena also works fine, but i don't like that it doesn't highlight my target/focus

outer sky
#

Never had that problem sorry 😦

vivid pond
ocean silo
#

Do you use GladiusEx? And does it work fine for you today?

outer sky
# vivid pond is it bad for outlaw too?

The only thing that's kinda cool about trickster is the distract mirage looks identical to smoke bomb so you can get people to waste their trinket with it. People are saying it won't work on very good players but I faked Nahj's trinket with it last week. I mean you have to be explicitly looking at omnibar to know it's not a real smoke bomb and in a stressful game even the best players will panic a bit

outer sky
outer sky
vivid pond
#

or ele's?

outer sky
vivid pond
#

wow

#

i thought outlaw runs out of energy

#

guess ill find out when i get my crit gear

outer sky
#

You should have substantial uptime on AR to avoid that

vivid pond
#

ah

halcyon timber
#

Cloud cover has a green poison effect within the smokebomb and it is larger. There is a difference and has been for a while

outer sky
#

I knew it was larger

#

Didn't notice the green

vivid pond
#

is it noticable?

halcyon timber
#

Has the normal fog and the green to it

#

Yes if you don’t have grandpop eyes

outer sky
#

I mean it's kind of a moot point anyway. Its still a trash hero tree compared to the alternative for every spec

halcyon timber
#

Just other classes looking to whine as always

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

btw

#

even with pvp nerfs i don't think they put stuff in the game that actively lowers your dps very often

#

otherwise they'd just tell us tier sets aren't meant for pvp

outer sky
potent pivot
#

still not sure if worth

#

2 yards is kind of a lot considering we lost 15 yard fan that the old fan talent gave us

#

for an aoe it's kinda important

outer sky
potent pivot
#

you'd be trading that for 5% on rupture and CT... they already don't do a whole lot

potent pivot
outer sky
potent pivot
#

mastery is not the end all be all

potent pivot
#

crippling etc

outer sky
#

Crit is extremely low. I can't see much value in going from 10% crit, which is what I have, to maybe 13% if I ran 4 set

#

Haste would have to carry

potent pivot
#

the lower it is the more value per point compared to other stats

outer sky
#

If only there was a way to find out for sure

#

How do I even test this

potent pivot
#

if you look at almost any other class in the game, even in pvp, almost none of them stack as hard as rogues try to push themselves to stack

potent pivot
#

but they wouldn't make real sense

#

the only real way we have is to hit dummies and get a large enough sample size

wanton breach
outer sky
potent pivot
#

you could sim "a perfect opener" to find the optimal gear for that scenario, but the second you get CC'd, someone presses their defensive, that goes out the window

#

sin's value from every stat is actually insane how close they are

outer sky
#

Haste lost a bit of value for assa with the venomous wounds buff.

potent pivot
#

what how'

#

energy regen from haste is negligible

outer sky
#

Because haste increases bleed tick rates. But with VW giving more energy, you don't need as many ticks to get the same amount of energy as before

potent pivot
#

if anything dot ticks from haste giving you more venemous wounds procs it buffed out haste

#

i guess you could look at it like that

#

i see it as more energy regardless

outer sky
#

I mean it could also depend on how someone plays

#

I play super passive

#

Almost every game I win is in dampening

potent pivot
#

i don't think so, it's pretty fundamental isn't it?

#

crit gives more cp gen and damage

#

haste gives energy and dot ticks which also give energy

#

which is also more damage from dots

#

mastery gives flat damage

#

vers gives flat damage

#

in SL pretty much everyone ran haste>vers iirc

outer sky
#

I only played S1 SL

#

So idk
