outer sky
#

But I believe you

potent pivot
#

sin was pretty bad s1

#

at least at the beginning

outer sky
#

But no I think it matters a bit. Because if you're am aggressive player and you're always in the action, you're pressing FoK a lot more. So that crit will make more of a difference than if you play like me and just get your bleeds up and run away until you need to reapply them

outer sky
#

Granted I exploited the fuck out of the crit leggo

#

And MfD

potent pivot
outer sky
#

Yeah but 3% more crits vs the increased flat damage of vers and mastery

potent pivot
#

less globals spent on builders

#

less energy spent on builders

#

more damage

outer sky
#

gunna queue a skirm so we can see the actual stat differences rq

#

No 4 set

#

deduct 2% mastery

#

shaman buffed me

#

2% from the 4 set one

potent pivot
#

so +2% crit +1% haste -4% mastery -1% vers +5% dam from set

#

i don't know if shaman buff is a flat 2% like it reads

outer sky
#

it is

potent pivot
#

since mastery is different for every class i don't think that's how it works

outer sky
#

ive seen these stats before

#

trust

potent pivot
#

it seems close enough that you could do whatever you wanted to really

#

personally i don't think we'll run that little crit regardless

#

so i don't think it's going to end up being an issue running the set

outer sky
#

no 4 set

potent pivot
#

basically the same ye

#

personally i have a feeling we'll be running some crit/vers pieces and not FULL crafted gear

outer sky
#

5% mastery and 1% vers in exchange for 2% crit and 1% haste

potent pivot
#

so considering i'd drop ~10% of that mastery for crit/vers anyway

#

the set would only be an added bonus

potent pivot
#

you're gaining the 5% from the set

outer sky
#

but

#

only for half the game

#

on average

potent pivot
#

you're only getting 50% uptime?

outer sky
#

highest ive seen is 60%

#

lowest Ive seen is 41%

potent pivot
#

kinda seems like it's designed to have really high uptime

outer sky
#

usually its around 50%

potent pivot
#

hmm

#

need to test once it goes live

outer sky
#

whenever its close to 60% there's a UDK in the lobby

#

because 2 set can proc off the pets

potent pivot
#

yeah i figured it would

potent pivot
#

Just to see how much it was doing

outer sky
#

no havent tried that

potent pivot
#

Curious to see how much dam poisons are doing

#

Probably not shit

outer sky
#

regardless, it probably wouldn't be worth dropping our MS for it

potent pivot
#

Nah

#

Would be with DTB

outer sky
#

oh there's just no good way to get to it

#

you have to invest 2 points in poison bomb

#

one thing I am considering though

#

not that we have 6s subterfuge

#

is dropping IC for KB

#

maybe into some caster cleaves where everyone is too spread

potent pivot
#

either SD or CT?

outer sky
#

yikes dropping garrote silence?

potent pivot
#

fuck me

#

didn't realize

#

well with silence you'd have to drop sudden demise and CT

#

well

#

you could choose between CT and TTK

#

main choice here would be either AP or SD

#

dropping AP just sounds miserable

outer sky
#

yeah

#

def not worth imo

potent pivot
#

game needs to hurry up and release

tawdry imp
#

turbo noob question here but is slice and dice an increase on just autoattack or on all melee attack speed?

outer sky
#

Just auto attacks

potent pivot
#

auto attack

outer sky
#

Sometimes I question the value in even pressing it tbh

#

As assass

potent pivot
#

well with the way sin plays rn you don't really need it

#

you kinda want to have it up before you try to close out a kill i guess

outer sky
#

I just wish it had a meaningful interaction

potent pivot
#

have definitely seen some people not even remember to press it some matches

#

on sin i mean

outer sky
#

Like with sub it increases combo point procs

potent pivot
#

i wish it was deleted from the game

outer sky
#

I do too

sharp sierra
#

I LOVE COCAINE!

potent pivot
#

if our autos generated rage or something i could see why it would exist

#

but it literally does nothing

outer sky
#

A meaningless maintenance buff that you feel obligated to press to min max

tawdry imp
#

never understood why people say to always keep it up, how much damage do we really do with auto attacks?

potent pivot
#

you don't need to keep it up like 100% uptime

#

you just want it up before you get ready to close out a kill

#

as outlaw you def want it up 100%

outer sky
#

Imagine SnD being the difference between getting the kill and not

potent pivot
#

as sub/sin you just press it a while before you kidney the KT

sharp sierra
#

did you guys see the buff compensation to kidney shot? to compensate for the 30 second nerf, they are extending kidney shot stun duration to 10 seconds

sharp sierra
#

lol

potent pivot
#

i'd be pissed

tawdry imp
#

i am a big scrub noob but nothing about slice and dice strikes me as an ability I want to ever have to press or think about

#

isn't that an obvious candidate for pruning

outer sky
#

Doesn't sub want it up basically all the time for the shadow techniques procs?

potent pivot
#

ehh

#

it's kind of inbetween outlaw and sin

#

a lot of people run slow OH on sub

#

like a sword/mace/axe

#

just for mastery

#

which is the dumbest shit

#

i've ever seen in this game

#

because doing so effectively nerfs yourself because of shtech procs

outer sky
#

Yeah they're missing out on a lot or free combo points

#

Tbh I think if SnD is going to exist it should exist as a passive talent on the class tree that just increases auto attack speed by 50%

potent pivot
#

yep

#

i honestly have no idea where they're going design direction wise these days

#

start of DF seemed like they were going in a good direction with talent trees etc

#

but it's kinda been straight back downhill since

tawdry imp
#

I would love to see their internal stats on what classes do well in pvp and at what skill level

#

because I'm trash I never play other rogues who are noticeably frustrating or so much worse than say, a DK

#

like how popular/dominant is sub rogue when you're 2k+

#

was kidney shot really that oppressive at some ratings vs all the other cc

halcyon timber
#

Fear pretty much being a stun these days too

#

And ice nova procs ok roots from mage not dr

#

Kidney propaganda just finally worked was all. Meanwhile 1.9M noncrit chaos bolts are cool.

chrome schooner
#

SnD's interaction with Assa are poison procs

#

Because the spec is designed with Deadly Poison in mind, and possibly Dragon-Tempered Blades and/or Kingsbane

#

And with those SnD is very important

#

But in PvP, with buids that don't use Deadly Poison and that either don't use Kingsbane, or use it only for the initial hit and ot the DoT ramp up, then yes SnD doesn't do much

grave basin
#

is it not possible to get trophy of strife anymore

#

damn

#

@outer sky ahve you tested outlaw

#

im seeing tyga play and killing spree slaps now

#

like his top damage

#

and btw, it's this weapon enchant that every ww is using now

#

suffocating darkness

indigo hill
grave basin
#

yea rip my alts

indigo hill
#

I feel you. Started a new rogue on alliance and the gearing has been slow.

grave basin
#

my feral has full greens

#

what do i do lol

indigo hill
#

Not much at this point. Gonna get new gear in 2 weeks.

sharp sierra
#

god damn this game is so dead

wintry dew
#

Dang yeah

#

Been dead since classic

sharp sierra
#

seems that way

wintry dew
#

Yeah game was dead from the start

shy nebula
#

im so fed with resto druids

#

they're so terribly op

#

jesus christ

#

I just faced a sub rogue that dealt 100k dmg with an eviscerate with full CDs and the avg joe with resto druid deals 200k of an instant crit wrath

#

XD

halcyon timber
#

Working as intended man. Nothing to see here.

#

Meanwhile 400k+ hits from rets and feral bites and aimed shots.

shy nebula
#

yes

#

XD

surreal barn
#

That’s what happens when shadowblades fills up your combo points for 20 whole seconds

#

😂

shy nebula
#

you...deal less dmg than a healer...?

surreal barn
#

🙌

shy nebula
#

fun!

warped gate
#

If they're the right class that is.

warped gate
#

Feels bad man.

shy nebula
#

it does indeed

warped gate
#

We're all just lightly tickling each other's balls in arena if we're physical DPS'ers.

indigo lava
#

hey

grave basin
#

any1 got major fps drops this patch?

#

after the maintenance

shy nebula
#

nope

indigo lava
#

could you tell me please about the PVP spec?

grave basin
#

ive disabled every addon

indigo lava
#

which one is simple to play for the beginer?

shy nebula
#

in pvp??

#

I'd say none

indigo lava
#

whats your favorite?

shy nebula
#

Assas

indigo lava
#

can you share your talent please?

shy nebula
#

sure

#

CMQA27SZpS4XnmFfcXRqkppuwzMjZmxMDAAAAAAYWmxsNDAAAAAAtsNMjhBzMzyYwMjZGzMzYmxy22YGGAAAAAAMD

#

if you don't want to go tricks you can just change it

indigo lava
#

thanks

shy nebula
#

np

grave basin
#

assas is by far the easiest of the 3 specs

shy nebula
#

yeah

#

but i wouldn't call it easy either

grave basin
#

i mean easiest in comparison

#

with the removal of nightstalker snapshotting it's gotten even easier

#

and i heard you dont even play KB anymore, one less bind

halcyon timber
halcyon timber
warped gate
#

Yeah, but the crappy thing is there's still plenty of PvP and shit to be had in prepatch and Blizz is really content with making it unplayable for a ton of folks.

warped gate
#

Prepatch.

#

Only reason I'm still playing is to practice since I'm a new rogue, I still gotta get the rotation and shit down to muscle memory.

halcyon timber
#

Just weird af that shit that already does a fuck ton per global gets buffed while we pay the price because someone got gang fucked behind a dennys by a group of rogues back in 2010

halcyon timber
#

Yeah keep at it, just really irritating atm as everyone is taking 24% or more less damage atm from us

#

Been a rogue a long time, this shit is just irritating af

#

We will have our revenge when armor is set at 80

#

Definitely taking it out on everyone. Had enough of fat fuckin bears hopping around meme’ing and shit

halcyon timber
#

On beta , it is normalized again

#

Just on live bc of the slinky effect everyone has double fuckin armor

#

2 weeks, we will ride again and smoke the fuck out of all people. Scorched earth.

#

Definitely over the cc tax bullshit though. Really getting old fast .

grave basin
#

if you have access to beta, just play that

#

retail is too unbalanced

#

not only is it completely unbalanced but there's no catch up mechanics

plucky escarp
shy nebula
#

im still playing KB in prepatch

grave basin
#

thanks fatebound

shy nebula
#

LMAO

#

I can't wait to play that

grave basin
#

kinda stupid how much damage is loaded into hero talents but it is what it is

quaint cedar
#

Same thing for outlaw. The coin is always in my top 3 on details

grave basin
#

i legit got 100-0d by a ww

#

like actual 100-0

shy nebula
#

Fun

grave basin
#

with his celestial conduit

#

so it's not just rogues

#

he pressed one button and it did 3m dam

quaint cedar
#

Yeah and you can't gouge or blind it either. I think stuns work

#

You can also out range it maybe or use cloak. But if you vanish it will still hit you because it's aoe

#

Really don't like stuff like that tbh

grave basin
#

you cant evasion it

quaint cedar
#

Nope

#

Only cloak works

grave basin
#

all i know is beta is WAY more fun

quaint cedar
#

Yeah I haven't touched prepatch at all

#

It's a waste of time

#

I just play beta

jolly sierra
grave basin
#

well yea theres no more serenity

jolly sierra
#

but hmm thought they did the same in DF prepatch

grave basin
#

p r u n e d

jolly sierra
#

when SS was available in off season

#

they were insta 2k4

grave basin
#

one hero talent doing 25% dam

steep oasis
#

can you still get the 1800 set in preptach or is that gone

grave basin
#

gone

#

that was exclusive to s3/4

#

and the season is over

halcyon timber
outer sky
#

is there a way to scroll back further on a details death log?

grave basin
#

what are frost mages

#

how was destro eaten 10000 nerfs and ice lance has been critting 1mil for weeks

outer sky
#

Mage is blizzards favorite class

halcyon timber
#

Dunno locks do 1.9M chaos bolts now

outer sky
#

Honestly it's their mobility and passive slows/roots thay bug me

halcyon timber
#

I don’t feel bad for harry potter classes at all

outer sky
#

Open on a mage with garrote silence

#

Still get rooted for my entire subterfuge window

halcyon timber
#

Yeah they def aren’t going to remove the proc nova

#

Its all ultra fuckin dumb

#

Succubus shakes her butt at you and you get bolted and feared 2x dr into coil but by all means nerf rogue bc forum propaganda demands it

grave basin
#

i swear on god

#

no cap

#

rogues dont feel too insane

#

maybe cause im not using full le crafted max mastery

halcyon timber
#

Shouldn’t be encouraged to do that bullshit

grave basin
#

feels like hogwarts has taken over tbh

#

sp/destro/mage

halcyon timber
#

Working as in god damn tended

grave basin
#

and voldermort

#

aka dk

#

i mean if wizards are already good in s1 with low secondaries

halcyon timber
#

Yeah god damn hogwarts

grave basin
#

that gotta be a bad sign

#

especially for assa

#

where you cant cleave in wizard lobbies

halcyon timber
#

So much instant casting as well from a lot of the sissy ass pajama classes

grave basin
#

have big garrote

#

jk root root root root root root

#

???

halcyon timber
#

Jk non dr hooker totem root

#

Hur hur lava burst for what you do while bursting except they do it all game

#

They will buff idiot dh too and ret for zero reason and somehow get us blamed

outer sky
#

lezzz go

#

weird how there's only 5 killing blows

#

@potent pivot Garrote lol

halcyon timber
surreal barn
#

F. Diablo WoW xmogs looking better than WoW

#

Hilarious

swift smelt
outer sky
#

Something I've noticed

#

Our damage is extremely front loaded

#

You can output a ton of pressure as long as you have constant uptime on empowered garrotes and are silencing>stunning the healer off DR

#

Once you run out of ways to get into stealth, your pressure let's up tremendously

#

I may have to play around a bit more with conserving my stealths

#

But I'm also playing blind

#

I have no addons

#

Fuck blizzard for fixing the vanish bug

steel scarab
#

What was the vanish bug?

indigo hill
#

Why are resto druids doing so much dps?

waxen meteor
wintry dew
steel scarab
#

Oh wow

#

I do like things to work as intended though lol

outer sky
#

Vanish on beta used to not go on CD at all lol

#

It was greay

#

Great*

waxen meteor
#

ha yeah but you know it's gonna be fixed

halcyon timber
#

That’s like the destro chaos bolt machine gun bug that wasn’t intended . People shouldn’t be screeching fun detected and shit

lucid loom
#

A random question, I just got the feel for some rated BG's and such, but I didn't get any rating when we won. Is it closed off for the season?

potent pivot
lucid loom
spring bough
#

cant decide on my dk or hunter if i dont like outlaw for season one of TWW lol

surreal barn
#

I think this man just declared war

halcyon timber
waxen meteor
#

in a way, wow share dr between teammate thing can be a bit dated design

halcyon timber
#

Yeah dunno whats next but tune in to next episode of dragon ball z

blissful osprey
#

I reckon wow pvp would really benefit from more universal animations

I.e when your slowed for example you have a red circle under your character model, no matter what effect applied the snare

It’s better for spectators and also for players to understand what’s happening without needing to know how every single class works.

Another example on shield breaks. Think halo 3 shield breaking, one of the most iconic animations is that little gold spark. Now apply that to all wow shields breaking or wall expiring

#

Same for when wall is up or a defensive.. that way we wouldn’t need omnicd, bigdebuffs and chaotic UI’s to track stuff which just bloats the experience

cursive sonnet
halcyon timber
#

Yeah the universal update was applied in early alpha and it is on live client already. If people can't see that then I dunno what to tell them. It is very noticeable.

worthy crag
#

People stand on fire all the time tho

#

seeing is not seeing

halcyon timber
#

Halo shield animations were cool too

#

We will have our revenge rogues just hold on

surreal barn
#

Just got text alerts working for queue pops

#

Man I’m a genius

steel scarab
#

It's amazing you figured out how to do that

Also amazing that Arena queues in this game are so unreasonable that we've normalized leaving the computer while we wait our turn to play the game

surreal barn
#

The way I have it set up i can have my phone ring

#

Text, email, lights turn off

#

Sit a dummy phone in the room (phone can be locked).

On iOS open Settings and record a custom Sound Recognition sound - in our case the queue pop. Next open up iOS Shortcuts and have your dummy phone text/call/email you whenever it hears that sound

#

Works flawlessly 😂

#

Works with /readycheck too

#

Added that one in

outer sky
#

Man so much pessimism on beta

#

we beat him btw

jolly sierra
#

bruh

#

a lock dooming?

#

rlly

muted abyss
#

kidney shot 30 second cooldown and gouge nerfed by 1 second lol

#

Blizz really hates playing against rogues huh?

shut nova
#

hey guys, there's any addon that tells you what's breaking your stealth?

#

like a combat log

#

i'm getting destealthed during bgs and that and it's so annoying

muted abyss
#

There has been a stealth bug for quite a while

shut nova
#

yeah it's insane 😠

muted abyss
#

Are you using a spammable stealth macro?

shut nova
#

yup

muted abyss
#

it prevents you from unstealthing on accident

#

okay

shut nova
#

but is like, i'm walking around a bg or something like that and i get this destealths

#

and ofc dying to it

sick wasp
#

breaking my blind is a legimate offense

sick wasp
# shut nova and ofc dying to it

its because stealth macros backfire or can backfire or u can have ur stealth break coz there are some bugs in the game that allow it

shut nova
#

I see, game bug then

cosmic frigate
#

what spec is generally better for pvp sub or assassination?

muted abyss
#

sub is better at 1v1 for sure though

sick wasp
#

if u are new to rogue just start with sin

#

odds are u wont be able to handle sub,its fundamentally hard to play

cosmic frigate
#

alright sounds good thank you for the reply.

worthy crag
cosmic frigate
#

Very different from unholy dk lol

sick wasp
worthy crag
#

doesnt unholy dk require like 200 iq with its infinite number of CDs? at least in pve

#

if you have good awareness of what to press at a given moment, sub can be the right call

sick wasp
#

also,no one cares how many targets ppl dps,u just need to kill one

#

u arent parsing in rated arenas

proven field
#

There a solid outlaw spec floating around? Or is the armor reset just making it not fun until 80?

potent pivot
#

but also yeah armor is making outlaw tough rn

proven field
#

Ok Nahj time to once again entirely copy your build

stoic spruce
#

Who's not taking crackshot?

proven field
#

crit or mast? I always loved the feeling of mast

stoic spruce
#

Crit

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Really?

#

That can't be on purpose

potent pivot
#

sorry i was tripping

#

i was thinking wickers for some reason

#

where did you come up with "whos not taking crackshot"

stoic spruce
#

HO has more picks than crackshot

potent pivot
#

there's like 3 people that take wickers over crackshot

stoic spruce
#

That's wild

#

I gotta ask why

#

Them why

potent pivot
#

prolly because of losing dance

#

either testing out the more consistent dmg profile of wickers or they think it's better

stoic spruce
#

And ace nerf brought non-crackshot builds closer by quite a margin

#

At least in pve

potent pivot
#

not everyone plays the same

stoic spruce
#

Before they unnerfed

potent pivot
#

some people play to damp

#

high consistent dam is better for damp

stoic spruce
#

Yeah gsw is probably better for that really

#

Rough to test in prepatch tho

#

Feels bad regardless

#

Since it didn't get unnerfed, I'm probably playing that in tww

#

Fatebound capstone uptime will be high no doubt

#

I seent that Sap

#

The dmg from not using bte outside of crackshot is negligible

#

Just put it back and don't use it unless vanish has over 45 seconds of its cd left

proven field
#

ah right I remember now.. but I don't bother trying to keep the crit buff up in between?

stoic spruce
#

You can, just make sure vanish has over 45 seconds of cd left

#

Otherwise it's desynced

#

It's easier to hold if you like

#

Hold bte I mean

potent pivot
proven field
#

Sorry homie what word? I don't think I am following

potent pivot
#

the word you started with "rogue"

#

in the message i deleted

austere thorn
#

Are the outlaw buffs announced earlier this week for 11.0.2 already live on beta? It says on the post it goes live august 12 but apparently some changes are alrdy live?

potent pivot
#

none of those changes are on live until the 13th

#

all of them have already been on beta for a while

#

on the 13th they're all being pushed onto the actual live game, prepatch

austere thorn
#

Ohh I see

proven field
#

they dont feel live, I am doing zero dmg as outlaw.. like 100k burst 😒

potent pivot
#

!nodamage

lethal roostBOT
#

Armor values are either bugged or scaled for level 80, so physical damage is much weaker than it was before 11.0.0, this is causing Outlaw and somewhat Subtlety to feel unplayable currently.

potent pivot
#

you're not going to do proper damage until level 80 most likely

austere thorn
#

I did 2 shuffles on beta
1 as outlaw 1 as sub
Both are feeling more than fine tbh

potent pivot
#

i cannot lie to you

#

that's a pretty small sample size lol

austere thorn
#

Last time I played outlaw was before crackshot work which was kinda dog

#

Never touched it after the rework

potent pivot
#

but all 3 specs do seem to be doing okay so far on beta

#

sub might not end up being "meta" because it could end up needing to be played really well to do well

austere thorn
#

Oh I dont mean to say OP or anything but it felt better than s1-2 DF
But again as u said, sample size 1

potent pivot
#

once the season starts it'll all get figured out pretty quickly

austere thorn
#

Maybe we'll get 1 season where rets are complete garbage? Here is hoping

potent pivot
austere thorn
#

😦

potent pivot
#

so far everything seems pretty good

#

i can't really say i've seen any class/spec that's not doing decently

austere thorn
#

Ngl I kinda giggled irl when I pressed killing spree and enemy hp went down

potent pivot
#

i haven't seen much boomie/dh/hunter tho

#

i've heard surv is good, dh is okay

#

i've heard nothing about boomie at all

#

feral's def pretty good

austere thorn
#

Like I said I didnt play outlaw after the crackshot rework and at the time our damage was super piss so it feels nice

potent pivot
#

yeah outlaw's dam across the board looks a little bit better

#

dispatches doing a few hundred K

austere thorn
#

Feels too pveish so I might hop back on the rogue

proven field
#

its suffering the same physical dmg issues outlaw is, it'll even out at 80

austere thorn
#

Im talking about beta

#

Mongoose bite does no dmg on beta either

proven field
#

only issue with surv is how easy it is to spec into endless bombs

#

and how that kinda becomes the only thing you do

austere thorn
#

They reworked it with only m+ in mind it feels like

grave basin
#

Everything feels pve

grave basin
#

They even nerfed shockwave down to 2 seconds

#

Like what

stoic spruce
#

Wdym feels like pve

austere thorn
#

Everything is AOE

potent pivot
grave basin
#

When 95% of your dam is from ranged spells , is it even a hybrid melee/ranged anymore

#

Outlaw feels more hybrid spec at this point

tired crypt
potent pivot
sick wasp
#

respectfully

#

🫶

#

also

indigo hill
#

It's a fun spec.

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

is armor fixed?

potent pivot
#

no

#

i wouldn't expect it to get fixed

tired heron
#

Is Blind > Sap possible in retail nowadays?

worthy crag
#

Only in very niche cases

tired heron
#

can you elaborate when?

worthy crag
#

like if you are tryhard enough to calculate the caster's global which is normally 1.2~1.5 seconds

tired heron
#

I see

#

thats what I thought

worthy crag
#

if you see em cast an ability, blind like 1.2~ sec after while they are still GCD locked

#

and the full duration of blind will be enough to put them out of combat

#

to sap

tired heron
#

ye cuz blibd is 5 and combat is 6

#

thanks

#

now they nerf kidney too lol

#

we warriors now

worthy crag
#

did they?

tired heron
#

no point subing back

#

heard kidney 30 sec cd now

worthy crag
#

guess ill make a full switch to surv hunter then

#

that's news to me

tired heron
#

guess so

#

the only fun character left

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

Ima try to find the link to the page with that kidney change

worthy crag
#

It probably hurts sub more than it hurts sin

#

since double vanish is global now

potent pivot
#

it's the opposite

#

hurts sin the most really

worthy crag
#

maybe, im just not really sure what sub could even do at this point

#

just afk backstabbing for 30 seconds I guess?

tired heron
#

sin cant play anymore

potent pivot
#

the same thing it always does?

worthy crag
#

no, it cant do the same thing it always does because now it'll have to vanish or activate dance for the first stun

potent pivot
#

all 3 specs are looking pretty decent

worthy crag
#

which makes sub even more telegraphed

potent pivot
#

i don't think it matters

worthy crag
#

oh it definitely matters lol

potent pivot
#

it doesn't

worthy crag
#

how does it not?

potent pivot
#

sub has even more access to stealth than before

worthy crag
#

how so?

#

Double vanish isn't new to sub

potent pivot
#

double vanish+6s subterfuge

#

+double dance

worthy crag
#

subterfuge means nothing for sub because it doesnt amp damage

#

danceless subt still does 0 dmg

tired heron
#

but you comparing CS to KS which are not the same

potent pivot
#

it doesn't matter

#

no it doesn't

#

have you watched any beta sub gameplay

#

at all

tired heron
#

assa will suffer since it needs to kite 10 more seconds

potent pivot
#

i'm assuming not with the way you're talking

tired heron
#

i didnt play since SL

#

so dunno what changed

worthy crag
#

have you not seen how sub gets nerfed in the first 4 days of every season in the last 3 expansions dating since bfa? You could speak on data from beta but I can speak on data from the past 6 years

potent pivot
#

i'm not going to sit here and talk about a hypothetical nerf that might or might not happen

#

that's a waste of my time

tired heron
#

you engaged it

worthy crag
#

eventually without exception they nerf its dmg such that its only hope for doing any impact during a setup is to stack all of its amplifiers

potent pivot
#

i engaged discussion about kidney shot being nerfed, that is already done

tired heron
#

we talked u intervened and now u dont wanna talk about it

#

rofl

worthy crag
#

If you are telilng me that sub is doing meaningful damage without SoD & SD, just purely from subterfuge, you are basically telling me it will get nerf batted

potent pivot
#

because you have zero way of knowing if it will be nerfed or not

#

like that's dumb

worthy crag
#

Like

tired heron
#

oh I misunderstood u then

worthy crag
#

telling me that subterfuge by itself is impactful damage is the same as telling me that sub damage is just pure broken with symbols and dance stacked on top

#

thats just how the spec is designed

potent pivot
#

i engaged discussion over the kidney shot nerf, because it really isn't that bad, and does affect sin more than sub or outlaw

tired heron
tired heron
worthy crag
#

the whole design philosophy behind sub is that it will do wet noodle damage without committing symbols and dance

tired heron
#

10 more seconds to sustain enemy pressure is big

worthy crag
#

and if that design is not working as intended, like when subterfuge by itself is doing alot of damage, that means it will be nerfed

potent pivot
#

you're not the only one doing damage in a match

tired heron
worthy crag
#

going up from 3 second subt to 6 doesn't mean "more" access to stealth though..?

potent pivot
#

yes it does?

worthy crag
#

like I said, double vanish isnt new, the only thing new is the 3 extra seconds of subterfuge

#

why?

#

2 sec sub, 7 sec subt, 11 sec sutb

#

literally doesnt make a difference

#

it's "one" stealth

#

its the same DR

#

ur not gonna get two DRs over a 11 second suberfuge

potent pivot
#

it's more seconds of stealth regardless

worthy crag
#

if your team has a brain theyll DB and chastise anyway

#

who cares if its 3 vs 6

#

or 19

#

or 17

#

or 12

potent pivot
#

whatever man

worthy crag
#

"longer" stealth window maybe

#

but not "more" access to stealth

potent pivot
#

keep dooming thinking kidney nerf means anything

worthy crag
#

im not dooming, i honestly dont give a fuck lol

#

i already play surv more than rogue as is

#

im just saying that 20 -> 30 sec kidney isnt impactful is delusional

#

because it is

#

esp for sub

#

like how are you going to GAIN access to subt?

#

vanish or meld right?

potent pivot
#

except most actually competitive players agree with it

worthy crag
#

vanish is same as before right? 2 charges for sub

#

nothing has changed

#

sub has not magically gained more access to stealth

potent pivot
#

what

#

what don't you understand

worthy crag
#

Okay, how are you going to gain access to "more" stealth

potent pivot
#

subterfuge being 6s now is quite literally more stealth ability access than it was more

#

i never said you got more windows

worthy crag
#

so what exactly does sub benefit from having 3 longer second of subterfuge?

#

I mean I would love for you to tell me

#

instead of telling me 17 times that im wrong

#

what exactly

#

does sub gain

#

from longer subt

#

2 more shadowstrikes if they dont feel like pressing dance I guess?

#

or if they are dumb enough to be disarmed for the first 4 seconds, so that theyll have 2 extra seconds to be idiot proof

potent pivot
#

whatever you say man

worthy crag
#

i mean ur literally not telling me anything substantial

#

besides telling me im wrong

potent pivot
#

you're the one telling me i'm wrong

worthy crag
#

and like I said I couldnt give a damn cuz Im already playing more hunter lol

#

no, im simply asking how a longer subt is a benefit to sub

potent pivot
#

i said you were wrong about kidney nerf being so impactful, because it's not

worthy crag
#

like,, yeah they gain more access to shadowstrikes I guess?

#

3 sec offers just as many windows for cheapshot globals as 6 sec does

#

so the only difference is literally shadowstrikes

#

without dance or symbol modifiers

#

yes, you said that

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

and then I refuted saying that 3 vs 6 sec subt is literally the same for sub

#

and you have not told me how they are different

#

I mean, do you just get randomly lassoed by a shaman

#

that you need those extra 3 seconds to get away from screwing up

#

are you gonna cast 6 cheapshots instead of 3

#

from having a 6 sec subt

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

not sure what those 6 cheap shots would do

potent pivot
#

this is objectively wrong

worthy crag
#

"more" access is different from "longer" access

potent pivot
#

i don't care to argue semantics over what is happening in a match

worthy crag
#

wdym, sub is literally the most scripted class in the game

#

semantics is literal life and death for sub

#

whens the last time you even arenaed as a sub

#

like SL season 1 when everyone was oneshotting with ER?

potent pivot
#

every season of DF besides s4

#

like i said

#

i'm not going to sit here and argue semantics with you

#

i do not care

worthy crag
#

you still havent told me how 6 seconds of subterfuge impacts any sort of gameplay thats not available on a 3 second of subterfuge

potent pivot
#

conversation is over

worthy crag
#

lmfao w.e

#

I guess i'll just take it at face value that something going up by 10 seconds in CD is not impactful

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

Also appreciate all the name calling btw

#

"dooming" you said? rofl

potent pivot
#

dooming is a verb, not an adjective

worthy crag
#

I thought you were making a point about semantics

potent pivot
#

you're arguing to argue at this point, and have been for a while

#

just drop it

worthy crag
#

I mean im still failing to understand how 6 sec subterfuge is any different from 3

#

so

#

maybe that just means im a 1200 rated rogue xd

#

I mean it is different for non sub specs

#

but for sub?

#

same shit

#

like, do you not get enough time to cross cc during 3 sec subterfuge?

#

is 3 sec not enough?

#

do you need 6?

#

Just failing to understand, is all

#

And in order to gain access to said 6 sec subterfuge you still need meld/vanish and vanish is still 2 charges for sub... so...

#

huh, I guess sub hasn't really gained more access to stealth

#

just some randomly 3 second longer subterfuge

#

oof, i'm "doooooooming"

stoic spruce
#

Reading this gave me heartburn

worthy crag
#

cant rly speak for outlaw or sin xD

tired crypt
stoic spruce
#

Stealthi

indigo hill
#

Lasting 3 seconds longer is very important - My wife.

stoic spruce
#

3 seconds is a very long time

indigo hill
#

She's asking to much honestly.

stoic spruce
#

The difference between life or death...

#

Satisfaction or disappointment

#

Etc

#

Both apples of the same tree

worthy crag
#

Gonna be even easier to set up weakauras to counter sub now

#

"the rogue has vanished, put down war banner or bladestorm"

stoic spruce
#

Just grapple away

#

Oh that's right

worthy crag
#

spoken as an outlaw

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I don't grapple away. I simply have feint at 100% uptime

worthy crag
#

nah ill just be spamming arena1/2/3 scatter shot on my hunter for that idiot sub rogue who vanished to get a cheap shot cuz his kidney is still on cd xd

#

vanished to get a cheap off and then get full scattered

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

he gon be spending that suberfuge in full scatter into tar trap

tired crypt
stoic spruce
indigo hill
stoic spruce
#

Of course

#

I don't think I talented into cheat death once this expansion actually

potent pivot
#

i do think elu is really good for outlaw, but even most outlaw players have been taking cheat now i think

stoic spruce
#

Weird

#

Idk

#

What moron focuses outlaw?

wanton breach
#

well you can get oneshot in a 2s random ass stun without enemies having active cooldowns

stoic spruce
#

Free cdr

#

Ah right

#

Prepatch shenanigans

potent pivot
#

naw i mean even before prepatch

wanton breach
#

same

stoic spruce
#

You talking about them juiced kingsbanes or w/e

#

What was it

potent pivot
#

it's just more valuable to take cheat a lot of the time

#

with feint you have to pre feint a stun etc for 20% DR

#

with cheat you just live instead of dying (unless you die through)

stoic spruce
#

I will say

#

Fighting against another outlaw rogue is great

#

Because outlaw rogues in the wild are rather bad.

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Dude

#

Dks are just as bad

#

For every good dk there's like 15 bad ones

#

2400 and you're amzing air

potent pivot
#

i think you can say that about every class

stoic spruce
#

For sure but it's more noticeable on some classes

#

I still remember when I sent a gouge and a dk put an amz on the other side of a pillar where none of his teammates were

#

Like

#

Brother

#

I'm just stopping casts while I wait for my teammates CDs to come back lol

#

Hakuna your tatas

potent pivot
#

maybe it was a misclick or somethin

stoic spruce
#

It's funnier to think he's that bad

#

We lost anyway because the warrior funneled and went behind a pillar and los'd the healer.

#

Typical warr stuff yk

#

How's hpal looking in TWW

potent pivot
#

i've heard good and bad, but i think it's looking fine

#

so far the only healer i know of that's looking iffy is mw

stoic spruce
#

Hpal my favorite

#

My favorite metas too imo

#

Maybe not if you're an assa main

potent pivot
#

it does look fun on beta

stoic spruce

But I'm not PirateHeart

stoic spruce

Very nice

#

Lol one apoc and 2 death coils later and bro was DEAD

chrome schooner
#

scattering a rogue only works if he uses vanish cheap but not kidney ?

sick wasp
#

micro cc exists and its spammable,those 3 seconds we used to have would disappear by some random micro cc that would be enough to just ruin an entire setup

#

its pretty obvious that it should be welcome to have as much time as possible into subter

#

6 is more than welcome if u ask me

stoic spruce
#

Can you gouge blind sap? I've been meaning to see ever since the CC changes.

sick wasp
#

not that it should matter alot but now triple cheap all the way..

stoic spruce
#

For sure

#

I just want the camera fixed tbh

sick wasp
#

now that uve mentioned im gonna que some shuffles later today on my rogue

#

was planning to do on my mage and hpally anyway

#

btw hpally

stoic spruce
#

I do enjoy eggplants

sick wasp

good with minced meat and bessamel

stoic spruce

I never cooked with them because I keep frying or baking them lol

Same with squash.

Where I live it's all soul food and mexican

sick wasp

I just have to be strong at least once

sick wasp
#

i do enjoy some good mexican food

#

just not the spicy stuff

#

there are some good burritos and enchiladas

stoic spruce
#

I love spicy food. I developed a kick for hot sauce during covid and now I need to put it on almost everything.

#

I want to bring a tiny bottle into restaurants but I'm scared that's rude

#

And

#

They never carry what I like

sick wasp
# stoic spruce They never carry what I like

This is ''stuffed eggplant with cheese and minced meat and some veggies'' called ''Papoutsakia''=literally means shoes in greek coz they look like shoes,its a greek eggplant recipe

stoic spruce
#

That looks amazing

#

I wanna start cooking Greek food

sick wasp
#

There is also the famous ''Mousakas'' which is eggplant with minced meet,besamel and cheese in the over

#

hold on

#

This takes a legit 9 in flavor

stoic spruce
#

That looks like lasagna but if it were good

sick wasp
#

This is twice as tasty as lasagna if u ask me

#

this has no pasta at all

#

nor tomato sauce

stoic spruce
#

Amazing

surreal barn

I am Greek

Already did

What's brandy?

ah

sick wasp

there are much simplier ways to make those and equally tasty

#

this is more on the gourmet side

#

just fyi

vocal surge
#

Makes sense

surreal barn
#

Tell the grandmothers theirs is better to have them make the harder stuff

worthy crag
#

Or dance cheap. Either way you can see how its different

worthy crag
sick wasp
worthy crag
#

I mean the whole discussion was stemmed from how kidney shot going from 20 to 30 sec cd didnt matter because subterfuge is now 6 seconds

#

Which makes 0 sense

sick wasp
#

everything is connected if u wanna cross cc

worthy crag
#

If blizz increases vanish cd from 2 to 3 minutes but instead made subterfuge last 20 seconds, is it a good compensation? rofl

sick wasp
#

so both matter

worthy crag
#

3 sec or 20 sec subt is still one dr window

sick wasp
#

its not that simple it depends

#

coz ks drs can fall off into subter

#

everything counts

worthy crag
#

What?

#

Wdym ks drs fall off into subt

sick wasp
#

it means u can stun

#

into subter

#

cs

#

and cross ks

#

into subter

#

and sap into subter

#

wdym what i mean

worthy crag
#

How does sap happen there

#

Can you guide me thru the sequence of keys you press

sick wasp
#

u dont have to sap the target u cs with stopatk or anything

#

can be 3 diff targets

#

u dont need a sequence of keys

#

just common reasoning

#

everything counts

#

if it didnt count there wouldnt be a nerf in the first place

worthy crag
#

So like

#

Are you just not gonna press dance just cuz you have a 6 sec subt?

chrome schooner
#

Speaking with a wall is always an entertaining moment

chrome schooner
#

It is always valuable

worthy crag
#

Why?

#

Your stun window hasnt changed at all

#

Like

#

Just take a 5+2+1 as a common stun window example

#

are you just gonna be spending 3 out of those 8 seconds (assuming you used the first 3 on cross ccing) in danceless subterfuge?

#

And do 0 dmg?

worthy crag
sick wasp
#

there are so many factors its not even funny to discuss my man

worthy crag
#

Bleed? This is sub?

#

Yeah rupture during a setup I guess

sick wasp
#

..

#

imagine pressing rupture vs a rogue

worthy crag
#

What?

#

What are you even saying now

#

What is this "vs rogue" crap

sick wasp
worthy crag
#

Like lmfao

sick wasp
#

its not funny at this point

worthy crag
#

Can you respond to a question properly instead of .. or pepe face or like

#

Idk

chrome schooner
#

You aren't forced to open with a stun on a kill target always

#

Lets say you play rmp, and you sap or whatever else mid game fear poly kill target for setup

worthy crag
#

Like I get some people are dumb and Im probably talking to 1700s but holy fk

chrome schooner
#

You want your dance to do damage on said kill target

#

6s Subterfuge gives you more time to cross CC the enemy team before the go

#

Lets you remove a shroud from evoker + CC

#

Lets you catch people standing very far away

#

Lets you tank an unfortunate incap or shockwave or w.e like that scatter you spoke of

#

Etc

worthy crag
#

Isnt kidney and vanishing just a better version of being disruptive?

#

Than vanishing and csing?

#

This is what Im failing to understand like

#

you kidney heals w.e to begin setup

#

Vanish to avoid grapple or grip w.e

#

and cheap the rest

#

You just vanish to gain subt now, gj

#

First cheap and the vanish factor is gone

chrome schooner
#

No

#

Lmao no

sick wasp
#

wtf

chrome schooner
#

Would you do that before ?

#

No

#

So you don't now

worthy crag
#

But now literally you "have to"?

plucky escarp
worthy crag
#

Because setting up stuns on dr reset now requires you to vanish

chrome schooner
#

The difference is, now, the moments you'd vanish before, NOW you have 3 more globals to stun off targets, remove shrouds, garrote people if assa etc

worthy crag
#

Btw ive been purely saying this as sub. I already said subt 6 sec is huge for sin and outlaw

#

Sub doesnt give a shit about 6 or 12 sec subt

chrome schooner
worthy crag
#

I mean, u using rmx as an example is just funny

#

What sort of a delusional rmp cant just cross setup as is with 3 sec subt

#

Like are they just incapable of yelling 3 2 1 db chastize

chrome schooner
#

Idk at what rating you usually play at but people who are aware of when an RMP go is going to happen usually try to stop it

#

Db isn't ready every dr

#

Chastise isn't ready every dr

#

And that's why sometimes the Rogue sets his team up by stunning everybody

worthy crag
#

Which, in this case of having kidney still on cd, would require getting that access by vanish or meld or hard reset

chrome schooner
#

This isn't Shadowlands

worthy crag
#

Which is the same as before

#

which is

#

why Ive been saying

chrome schooner
#

3s of stealth isn't a guaranteed to stun everyone

worthy crag
#

Its not "more" access to stealth

#

just a longer one

chrome schooner
#

People could be far away

#

You could get hit by a CC between the 1st and the 2nd target

#

Etc

#

With 3s any CC is the end of subt

worthy crag
#

Yes use double wizard playing 40 yrd triangle on tolviron

chrome schooner
#

With 6s subt is still up after most cc

worthy crag
#

Then it becomes a matter of shadowsteps

#

cuz eztra 3 seconds wont do shit also in that case

chrome schooner
#

As I said, arguing with a wall

unborn relic
#

Bruh

chrome schooner
#

Thr guy himself brought scattering the rogue

#

And now can't understand that a 6s subt is still up after scatter ends

#

Unbelievable

worthy crag
#

Didnt I specifically say tar off the scatter OMEGAKEKW

chrome schooner
#

Have fun being an idiot with others people, I'm off 😉

worthy crag
#

seems like a fair trade for sub who has to vanish

#

So is it like a new thing that a channel just resorts to namecalling and dot spamming and pepe posting when they cant respond right or what

surreal barn
worthy crag
#

or just failing to comprehend that in order to gain subterfuge you will have to press vanish which hasn't changed at all the past 2 years

surreal barn
#

You can meld

worthy crag
#

ah yes

#

has meld changed?

surreal barn
#

No

worthy crag
#

Oh okay, so where's this "more" acess to stealth that Ive been called an idiot for disputing?

surreal barn
#

I think it’s actually the same access to stealth as assa if you count up the seconds with the new 2/2 sub

#

Much more for sub

#

Convenient? Eh idk

worthy crag
#

Idk, for some people maybe theyve been spending too much time on wow and not reading comprehension

gusty hedge
worthy crag
#

Not really, its simple stuff

#

how is sub gaining more access to stealth

#

which arguably offsets kidney going from 20 to 30 sec

#

Or you have these idiots read parts of what I said and bring up garroting when I have not said a thing about outlaw or sin

potent pivot
#

o

#

i'm only going to say this one thing because this is getting fucking annoying

surreal barn
#

Just have to be more careful. As for you padawan, no good rogue is going to attack you from the front your scatter won’t be going off anyway

worthy crag
#

o shit, get the drumrolls

potent pivot
#

longer duration literally means MORE

you have been told the same thing by multiple people now, and you incessantly keep pushing the issue for no reason

it's getting really weird dude

drop it

worthy crag
#

Ah

#

so you just

#

fail to see how longer vs more are

#

different

#

okay

#

I mean if you are just intellectually incapable I cannot help that

#

Lets say, subterfuge is hypothetically at 3 seconds

#

and vanish has two charges

surreal barn
#

Ttyl

worthy crag
#

3 sec subt + 2 vanish = 6 seconds of "stealth" time

#

now take another hypothetical case in which vanish is 1 charge and subterfuge is 6 seconds

#

6 sec subt + 1 vanish = 6 seconds of "stealth" time

#

same length duration

#

less access to stealth

#

yeah, incomprehensible I know

#

what the fuck is this IQ

surreal barn
#

Who hurt you

sick wasp
#

a rogue obviously

surreal barn
#

Did the woman pack her bags this morning

Oh ur taking me as a hunter player just because I said I've been playing more hunter during the prepatch? LMAO

thats just cute

#

nah but for real tho

#

I guess the example I gave, people still fail to comprehend how they are different concepts

#

rofl

candid condor
#

👀

worthy crag
#

Probably better if people stop talking about the impact of a change on sub when they've been dampening their brain for the past season pressing fok and ct pveing as sin

#

tbh not even the same rogue players

silent sleet
#

probably best to just stop

candid condor
#

Stop typing faster, ronkles

silent sleet
#

This is the most pointless conversation

silent sleet
#

Now I see you typing

worthy crag
#

yeah im still trying to understand how getting longer subterfuge translates into accessing stealth more
