Why though why are you still trying to understand

#

why does it matter

candid condor
#

Are you trolling, or

silent sleet
#

Like we've reached the point where

#

no one is listening to the other

worthy crag
#

Because if they are not an idiot, then there must be something Im missing right

#

and I give everyone the benefit of the doubt by assuming that they are capable of reason and logic

#

so i must be missing something

candid condor
#

I mean, if you cant make a point without insulting everyones intelligence, maybe its about time you stop talking.

worthy crag
#

Hey man i'm the one that's been called an assortment of things

#

I think I might as well be a transformer at this point

#

Funnily enough

#

I've also been called a hunter main

#

or something

#

Or they could be spending the time spelling out how longer subterfuge is "more" access to stealth

#

in the way I described in the example

#

cuz for the life of me Im not seeing it

silent sleet
#

What you describe isn't less access to stealth you describe how you have less flexibilty in how you use stealth

candid condor
#

I cant OMEGALUL

silent sleet
#

You still get the same number of gcds

#

can we just stop talking

#

about it

worthy crag
#

You know what, thats actually the most valid point anyone has brought up so far

#

But

#

It may not be less access, but it's fewer access

#

you see the difference here

candid condor
#

You know what, Ill bite

#

Tell me the difference between less, and fewer

wintry dew
#

(cat feral main confirmed)

sick wasp
worthy crag
#

if there's a door and I have a key thats only usable once per day and once I enter I'm there for the workday

wintry dew
#

((Koffing is really a feral main))

worthy crag
#

then I have fewer access, right

#

but if someone has a master key that's good for multiple uses and uses it to gain entry to spend the workday with me

#

you would say they have more access, no?

#

I wouldn't have any less of an access than them, but definitely fewer

candid condor
#

This is dumb.

worthy crag
#

less usually translates to duration or length, fewer is usually numerical

#

Yeah Im pretty used to dissecting things to small details

candid condor
#

Its time you stop.

worthy crag
#

So like

#

Im assuming that just didn't register

#

like you fail to see the difference in the two

candid condor
#

Typing more is not stopping.

worthy crag
#

and that they are the same.

#

Aren't those usually followed by a "or else"

wintry dew
#

Galbicity, please

#

You're seeing something we don't for some reason

worthy crag
#

Im just spelling things out waiting to see if anyone can teach me how they are the same and not different

#

I mean people would flip their shit out if vanish is reduced to 1 charge and subterfuge is increased to 12 seconds to compensate

#

Either that or you'd have to be so dumb to actually think they are "the same"

candid condor
#

You are playing a semantics game where even if everyone tells you you are wrong, you arent listening, changing up details or making further examples, while also riling up those that dont see it your way. If you cant make others see it "your way" without insulting them, Ill be timing you out. Have a nice day.

worthy crag
#

Sure, let's just pretend that it's the same then

#

It's just semantics right 😂

worthy crag
candid condor
#

Royal, stop pepelmao

wintry dew
worthy crag
#

I was almost expecting you to say you can press garrote during subterfuge

#

Im disappointed

#

and the idiot who called me a hunter is still ghosting, cute

wintry dew
#

For some reason your trying to fish a mute

#

There's no need for that

candid condor
#

Caught one.

wintry dew
#

Let's just move on

#

Let's just be happy in this fine weekend

jolly sierra
#

ppl this month is way too aggresive than usual

wintry dew
#

Yeah, idk, maybe a bad month

surreal barn
#

🤷‍♂️

wintry dew
#

What matter is that we chilling and enjoying summer

jolly sierra
#

*winter here

surreal barn

but feels fine overall

potent pivot
#

i envy you rn

jolly sierra
#

i can walk with leather jackets on the street without feeling im sweating

potent pivot
#

how cold is it atm

jolly sierra
#

rn is the afternoon and is very tempered with 16 celsius

#

night turns into like 8-4 celsius

#

starting from like 10 PM

#

and they announced weater with negative amounts

#

even for like -4 as min

potent pivot
#

today it's 32 here

#

yesterday was even worse

jolly sierra
#

fuck u are burning alive

#

yeah summer was like that here

#

when i need to go to the capital felt that shit

#

went to a friend house to sleep and needed to hide in fkn shadows to try to avoid the excessive heat

sick wasp
#

well now its lower coz its getting dark but until august the 15nth its gonna be 36-37 constantly

Just another day in hell

since we got a kidney nerf how much for us to buy a cyclone nerf for those boomies lol

#

holy shit. never had this happen in a solo match

#

gripped this holy pal to the ret and we aoe killed both at the same time

#

2 KBs off one round LMAO

indigo hill
#

Outlaw really could use a massive buff.

potent pivot
#

why?

#

outlaw is looking good on beta

#

the only reason it's not doing well on live is because prepatch and armor values

indigo hill
#

Which is what i am currently playing.

#

Beta doesn't do much for me.

#

They can do a massive buff for 2 weeks. I'm sure they can put an intern on it.

potent pivot
#

they don't really tune around prepatch

indigo hill
#

I know but a man can dream.

potent pivot
#

i feel like they've got more pressing matters to attend to

#

like fixing bugs for tww launch

#

just a couple weeks homie

#

once we hit lvl 80 things will be better

#

yeah i don't have beta and have just been leveling alts n shit

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

this is like the biggest reason i quit raiding man

#

i don't mind the raid time commitment at all if i don't have to grind fucking keys

#

yep

#

and grinding for trinkets n shit is so ass

#

i get some people enjoy grinding a dungeon 50+ times

#

i am not those people

#

for literally .5% dps increase

#

cba

sick wasp
#

yup tomorrow 37

jolly sierra
#

if would depend of me

#

i would rather live in a snowy country

#

so i can feel fresh almost all time

#

do it feel nice?

# steel scarab <@293244833521336321> what is this horror

Lordaeron has fallen years ago, yet its former defenders are still among us. Some of them took up the cause of the Alliance whole heartedly, while others never truly let go of their anger. Recently, Donny has been sent on patrol in his former homeland and his long forgotten need for vengenace has reemerged.

#

you can also use specific WAs for like certain abilities

#

like dance charges etc

#

i can't think of a single competitive pvper that uses a WA hud

signal raven
#

interdasting

potent pivot
#

it's not as telegraphed as pve, good visability goes a long way

#

and nowadays you already need so many other addons in pvp that show more improtant things than your CDs

#

if you're too focused on a big central WA hud you're not paying enough attention to the things going on in the match

#

CC DRs, enemy CDs, etc

signal raven
#

That makes sense.

#

yeah outlaw does zero dmg right now

no more BGs for me until endgame

i played against Venruki about 3 times today and those are all Ws

well

#

venruki is xd in solo qs i recall

spring bough

he was popping off on his mage deleting people lol

steel scarab

but w evoker he went trolled hard i recall

#

too easy rn for solo bg lol

outer sky
#

Right now im actually playing this

#

Sanguine strat may be trolling idk yet

#

heres my breakdown

lucid citrus
#

SBS does so little

outer sky
#

it was 6% of my damage total

tawdry imp
#

I fucking hate this vanish change

outer sky
#

thats not bad for a passive

#

plus it buffs all your other bleads by 2% with lethal dose

#

and gives you a lot of combo points

jolly sierra
outer sky
# jolly sierra looks very consistent

oh it is. Problem with it is that since we have basically 0 burst damage, once you run out of ways to get into stealth your pressure lets up substantially

outer sky
#

ironically aff is actually better than assa for finishing a kill

#

they have a haunt combo that can do like 2.5m damage all at once

jolly sierra
#

aff is obnoxious af anyways

#

rlly hated them in s4 with no nerfs

outer sky
#

As you can see, your damage with this build doesn't discriminate

jolly sierra
#

BTW changing topic, ended selling my snake-eyes cards now cuz a regional is close and arent vital for fire king deck (im running them w tri-brigade) ppl went crazy trying to buy them

#

pretty spreaded

tawdry imp
#

how in the fuck am I meant to fight an unholy DK

jolly sierra
#

the dmg

#

ye

outer sky
#

The reason why that one evoker is way lower than everyone else is because he was 0-5 and rage quit in the last game so I killed him while he was offline

jolly sierra
outer sky
#

they just coil through it

jolly sierra
tawdry imp
#

I just get gripped in, that thing where you're stuck there, taking mad damage, can't cloak vanish because the dots instantly pull you back out

outer sky
#

yeah it stops their death strike heal

jolly sierra
#

they need to use lichborne

#

and u w that just forced them to waste a big cd

tawdry imp
#

yeah I think that's the one

jolly sierra
#

if u wanna fight them try using evasion in empower runeblade

#

and disarm it, they will coil ye but is better than having a very obnoxious burst over u

#

if u are going assa u have an easier time against them cuz ur pressure will be bigger

#

is just burst on them and use crimson tempest

#

when they apocalypse

#

dks has a very bad time against assa rogues

tawdry imp
#

are you not dying with evasion up anyway given all the dots?

jolly sierra
#

depends in the healer lol

outer sky
#

This game is so bad

#

5-1

#

9 points

jolly sierra
#

how was MMR?

outer sky
#

mmr was like

#

2140

jolly sierra
#

imagine if u lose

#

and u then lose like -40

outer sky
#

yeah

jolly sierra
#

that is the reason i rlly hate how rating works in shuffle

#

it punishes more than reward

outer sky
#

its worse on beta than retail

#

on retail I never once won 4 or more games and got 0 points

#

its happened many times on beta

jolly sierra
#

damn

vestal cape
# tawdry imp how in the fuck am I meant to fight an unholy DK

So unholy dks actually still need to melee quite a bit to get their damage out in their cds; they have to use festering strike to build festering wounds which they pop with dead coil and that’s when you see the big chunky death coil hits since it pops 3 of them; then they have to use scourge strike to get a buff that makes their dots tick 100% faster;

so if you see a dk go into their unholy frenzy and apocalypse burst without already having those prepped; you can evasion/disarm to relieve a massive amount of pressure. The only thing in their kit that still applies festering wounds outside of their festering strike is abomination but not as fast a FSing someone

spring bough
vestal cape
#

Yeah 100%

#

They have a pretty high execute threshold if they have festering on you; some dks will stack 6 festering and have 2 procs built up of sudden doom death coil and just murder you in 2 globals

#

It’s mainly just a prepatch overtuned issue but it helps to know where their damage comes from

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

i'm not sure about betterblizzplates because i haven't tried it just yet

#

but i know plater has the function and i'm pretty sure kui nameplates does too?

#

level boosts are only 80k gold man

#

i might just get a bunch of shit leveled afk

outer sky
#

what talents are we playing as sub on beta rn?

potent pivot
#

that's what kalvs been playing

surreal barn
#

Isn’t pandemic window 30% left

#

Or have I been eyeballing it wrong all dragonflight

jolly sierra
#

it was i think?

#

(i renewed both garrote and rupture when it has 13s remaining)

outer sky
#

@potent pivot do we press sepsis during our burst or wait until after our CDs/Stun Lock is over?

potent pivot
#

sec gaming

potent pivot
#

"if you can press sepsis without losing anything u should, its more dmg than strike"

outer sky
#

It's more damage but not in a burst window

#

Seems like something to press outside of dance or at least outside of a stun lock

potent pivot
#

im just tellin ya what kalv said

outer sky
#

Yeah but what he said is common sense

#

That's the problem

#

I'm trying to figure out what he considers "losing something"

potent pivot
#

most likely just if you don't have better globals? not sure

outer sky
#

I wonder if its worth it to play DFA

#

after procing lingering darkness

#

just feels so clunky as sub because DFA takes like a million years to actually go off

#

and as sub you're playing inside small burst windows and stuns

potent pivot
#

nahj was trying it out a little

outer sky
#

did he give any input?

potent pivot
#

he seemed iffy on it

#

i only saw him try it with trickster

outer sky
#

holy shit priests having 2 charges of fear is so aids

outer sky
#

sectec damage

#

I think the play is to use it right BEFORE you do a go

potent pivot
#

ur using the 4p ya

outer sky
#

because it does so little damage compared to eviscerate that pressing it during your stun lock is probably still less damage than pressing another eviscerate

#

yes Im using 4 set

#

evisc damage

potent pivot
#

4p looks really good

#

im still gamin but ill look at the breakdowns in a few

outer sky
#

it is good

#

but idk how I feel about using sectec in a stun lock

#

but if you kidney the healer you kinda have to

#

dammit

#

there's gotta be a way to mix-max this

potent pivot
#

like obviously goes still matter

#

i just didn't see a lot of min maxing as much as i saw pve

halcyon timber
#

Eviscerate is solid as God intended

#

Secret still slams with the 2 set but its not doing silly main hero crap like it did in s1 and 2 of df. Killing spree is also solid.

outer sky
#

im just not sure if sec tec is more damage in a stun lock than just another evisc

halcyon timber
#

Depends. I really prefer hemo style trickster though always did through alpha too

outer sky
#

well no it doesn't depend

#

the % buffs are static

#

so is 16% extra eviscerate damage+sectec in a stun lock more damage than the difference between sectec and an unbuffed evisc

outer sky
potent pivot
#

it's not THAT far gone

#

hahaha

#

i mean i keep powder bound

#

but idr why

#

we got all the wing thingies

#

think it's time to open my mail and slam 70

outer sky
#

Hmmmm

#

If you don't run tier you get 8% more mastery and 1% more vers

#

thats like half the set bonus

#

and then you never have to press sectec

#

I wonder if flag is worth it

#

yeah guys idk about this

#

by not pressing sectec and eviscerating instead you get a guarnteed finality proc on evisc

potent pivot
#

hmm

#

idk

#

all i did was throw you what kalv was playing

#

but he's kind of a mage main now

#

he was doing well with it tho tbh

#

i think this means i have more than enough xp to loot from mail?

#

yeah i had WAY too much lmfao

outer sky
#

ok flag damage is trash but it gives you like 60% mastery

potent pivot
#

yeh

#

it's pretty good

#

just a little more easily countered if enemy is tracking it

outer sky
#

but you get the mastery after your go lol

potent pivot
#

you can press it before the actual go, but eh

#

i really think sectech is worth running

#

even if you're not pressing it in your go

#

have you tested any diff rotations on dummies

outer sky
#

yeah thats what Im doing now

potent pivot
#

there's a lot of combinations you can do with DM

#

what if you flag->go->sectech with DM stacks

outer sky
#

you have to do damage with flag to get the mastery though

potent pivot
#

wdym

#

also wait was the build i linked you even running flag?

#

it wasn't was it?

sick wasp
potent pivot
#

prolly gonna level another rogue and at least 1 dk

#

dunno about warr/hunter yet

#

did the dh myself but 10-70 boosts are only 80k rn which is insane

outer sky
#

sub is trash wtf is this

outer sky
potent pivot
outer sky
#

idk maybe my teammates are just bad

#

ive been over 2400 as sub before

#

so i know how to play it

#

it tickles everyone

#

this is like

potent pivot
#

yeah sub in shuffle feels a little bit ehh no matter what

outer sky
#

insanely undertuned

potent pivot
#

not what i've been seeing idk

outer sky
#

I just played with the worst lock in the history of WoW

potent pivot
#

legit watched kalv solo win a game killing a DK in the ope

#

literally globaled

outer sky
#

DK was at 3% hp and I didn't have a dance so I blinded, dueled, gouged, kidneyd, and bombed the healer

#

and this lock couldnt kill the DK

#

at 3%

potent pivot
#

l0l

outer sky
#

like just log off and delete your account if youre that bad

halcyon timber
#

https://www.wowhead.com/beta/spell=438600/excess-frost?spellModifier=137020

Btw this is why mages are doing ice nova frequently in tww

#

Dunno how “easy” it is for them to stack that but yeah that’s why melee get rooted very frequently.

Edit: says 6 attacks, so every 6 attacks granting mastery they perform a ice nova to non dr root you. Sick.

halcyon timber
# outer sky like just log off and delete your account if youre that bad

I blinded a ret that I tricked into using bop on a sap as I reset and was .02s away from stealing gold mines and a hunter had 2 decisions:

A) trap and we get a 3rd base and pull ahead to win.

B) Be an absolute deedeedee and go rambo with his dinosaurs and lose the match.

He chose B. The simple chimp had neurons activate and he chose B.

outer sky
#

Well I just played with the worst lock in the game and now the worst mage in the game

#

goes 0-6 playing the ele shaman of beta

#

also look at my damage jfc

#

i pumped that lobby

#

Crimson Tempest ticking over over 270k

sick wasp
#

ezclap

#

gonna test my healing kungfu

#

hpally experiment was successful

potent pivot
#

i actually wanna try one in tww too

#

either rdru or hpal most likely

#

rdru actually looks so easy

sick wasp
#

qued some shuffles it did dmg as well

#

trees are overtuned

potent pivot
#

It does dps levels of dmg and refunds mana with wrath or w/e shit is broken af

safe turret
#

How is fatebound outlaw doing? haven't payed attention to or played much beta but it seems ok

potent pivot
#

Yeah it’s fine

safe turret
#

am I just misremembering or is the current beta version of ace up your sleeve not as nerfed as it was near the end of dragonflight when they started nerfing it? honestly dont remember

#

thought the proc chance was lower than 5% per combo point at one point

sick wasp
#

can ask on the pirate channel but pretty sure they must have reverted something there

potent pivot
#

Not sure if there’s any pvp tuning on it either I’d have to look

#

I’m not super familiar with the nuance stuff of outlaw atm I haven’t played it very seriously for a couple seasons

stoic spruce
#

Reverted the nerf in pve only

#

Also fatebound is good

#

I can see an HO/KIR/ER build being a thing. The Ace nerf makes crackshot feel so bad imo.

outer sky
#

Fatebound for outlaw is really good

sick wasp
#

it also makes sense to find a way out to some content

#

coz outlaw has seen better days

outer sky
#

This game is actually so bad when you think about it. The evoker healer rage quit because he can't win a game even though he's healing way more than the priest just because the priest can go into angel form and be immune to everything lol

sick wasp
#

priests soon gonna get their sht handed to them dw

#

Hpally era

outer sky
#

hpally got nerfed really hard on beta. I havent seen one since

#

not a single one

sick wasp
#

hpally nerfed when sus

#

havent seen for like 3-4 days

outer sky
#

a few days ago

#

let me find it

sick wasp
#

why didnt i know that

sick wasp
#

but dont think thats hard

#

a nerf

#

gonna ask on pally discord

#

they did nerf HS and aura nerfed the dmg mods there

#

buffed hammer and judgement

#

gonna investigate thx

outer sky
#

I used to see an hpal maybe 1/4 or 1/5 lobbies

#

over the last 4 days I havent seen even 1

#

its all priests, druids, shamans, and the occational dragon

#

but tbh I'm glad

#

I hate hpally lol

#

all I play is melee dps

#

going against an hpally totally changes the game

#

I think sac should be a 1.5m CD and the ult sac talent should just be removed

#

or ult sac doubles the CD of sac

#

giving your teammate a bubble every minute is disgusting

#

I'm still holding out hope that fatal intent makes 20% an insta kill

sick wasp
#

apparently everyone is sleeping on pally discord

#

yeah paladin can cancel melee goes pretty much

#

heavy counter

stoic spruce
outer sky
#

I think its worst as assass to face hpal than any other dps because not only do they shut down your go, but they leave you energy starved after they do it

stoic spruce
#

Fatebound capstone uptime will be very high

sick wasp
#

stopped on 1.8k-ish but my mmr was like 2.2-ish

outer sky
#

DM is kinda a trash CD i probably wouldn't recommend BoPing it off in a scripted way

sick wasp
#

for me healing for the first time it felt the most pressure-alleviating thing to do

#

i would aura swap and aura mastery and free cast holylight

#

healing like a king,while the rogue loses his cd

#

i would also AM for a rep cast just to force the trinket

#

or the clos

#

only way ik to f@k the rogue up

#

another thing i do is hoj his ks go

#

and BL the trinket

#

give my dps space

outer sky
#

ks?

#

Killing Spree?

sick wasp
#

kidney shot

outer sky
#

ah

sick wasp
#

bl as in blinding light

#

this combo pretty much has my dps free of getting hit by the rogue

#

and the probability im getting an ooga booga rogue trinket is considerable

halcyon timber
#

Paladins are weird, they like saying they haven’t “been good since X expansion” a lot.

#

Those nerfs just shifted the healing profile a bit no? There’s no way they are dookie after that round.

sick wasp
#

honestly i think Hpally will always be strong in arena

stoic spruce
#

Hpal is easy to shut down at times. Hopefully it's better next expac.

#

"Kick hpal, win the game"

outer sky
#

Took care of em this round

sick wasp
stoic spruce
#

Not a lot no

sick wasp
#

the only way an hpally cast is when there is AM

stoic spruce
#

But it just takes one

sick wasp
#

so he's immune anyway

outer sky
#

lmfao that was a fun lobby

sick wasp
#

also there is another thing

#

lol u high parsed on their bodies

outer sky
sick wasp
#

conc aura reduces interrupt lockdowns by 35%

stoic spruce
#

Evidently it doesn't help because they're the easiest healer to lock down atm

sick wasp
#

paladin's worse fear is polymorph

#

there is no answer outside the sac to that

stoic spruce
#

Having all your heals be instants, what could go wrong?

#

Who needs hots

sick wasp
#

its not all heals but there is alot of burst heal that comes from ''combo points''

#

the holy power

#

and WG

stoic spruce
#

Right

#

What I'm saying is the lack of hots isn't doing it any favors really

sick wasp
#

it compensates with having all shorts of active and passive dmg mitigation

#

dusk is 8% 10% from glimmer,12% from aura

#

shields/denounce/concentration

#

merciful auras

#

its alot of stuff going on

#

most paladins dont even understand how dusk works

#

not to mention the armor boost

#

which is ridiculously high

stoic spruce
#

Holy power holds it back

#

A lot

#

Imo

sick wasp
#

i think if anything holypower boosts it for real

#

imagine not having instant wog

#

and cast flash

#

now it can just run around throwing heals

#

out of nowhere

#

it shocks/casts a flash in half a second/prism into wog

#

thats a 3mil burst

#

no mana needed

halcyon timber
#

They have a good bit of hots in the herald tree no?

sick wasp
#

ye a bit but not that storng

stoic spruce
#

Storng

sick wasp
#

herald dmg is kinky

halcyon timber
#

Better than nothing

sick wasp
#

yeah true

stoic spruce
#

I take pride in CC locking hpals

#

Personally

sick wasp
#

come at me baby

halcyon timber
#

Unlike broccoli druid form smoking tf out of people with instant wrath and healing

stoic spruce
#

Even when undertuned, rdudu is very good

#

Like

#

Wtf is that lol

sick wasp
#

rdrood is quite overtuned ye

#

trees heal and dmg and stuff

#

but in all i think rdrood is hard to heal

no cd swaps it everywhere

a kinky tip vs surv hunters

(clone the pet)

outer sky
#

I mean tbf stopping clones isn't as easy as healers make it out to be

stoic spruce
#

I love watching healers play below the rating they should be because they're juking a cast on somebody that doesn't even have kick bound.

#

Idk how auto correct swapped above and below

was this warrior on voice the other day he was saying ''im one win away from duelist'' plz spec big dispell and hof me

#

i did

#

the man did twice the dmg everyone else did

#

u know when someome is going kingkong mode and follow that as a simp healer

outer sky
#

And then he realized it's off season and he can't get duelist

stoic spruce
#

Except I funnel

#

Sometimes

#

Maybe I should play warr

sick wasp
#

ive invested a considerable amount of time to learn the spec,im not fooling around

stoic spruce
#

Well

#

I am

#

Gonna play Black Ops 6 until the end of season 1 to let all that inflation set in and then get my name in the top 10 outlaws because no one is playing B)

#

The spec I mean

#

Unless the multi-player in Bo6 is really good

#

Top 50 is good

potent pivot
#

saw that guy go 6-0 earlier kekw

outer sky
#

Don't remember what the DK went

#

I think 3-3

potent pivot
#

he was doing some big dam with an aug

spring bough
#

playing against a mistweaver. every single time i hit interrupt this dude would stop casting a nano second before it went off.... tried atleast 20 or so in this WSG. is there a bot out there that can stop some1 casting? it was so ridiculous. he was doing it on everyones interrupts this guy was FC lol

potent pivot
#

i'm honestly not sure, i don't want to rule it out as impossible but something like that would be really hard to make like

#

by the time they can register kick being pressed it should go off even before a script can do anything?

surreal barn
#

A friend told me he dodges so many interruptions playing with that on

blissful osprey
#

Maybe he is baiting with mana tea or something

Anyone playing another race other than NE? Feel like I’m just not competent without meld, but also really interested in the knock from kultiran for BG blitz (even though they look horrid)

narrow brook

Spells (1)
Kidney Shot Finishing move that stuns the target.
Cooldown changed from 20 sec cooldown to 30 sec cooldown

Meld essentially giving you access to stealth and empowered garrotes every 1 minute is kinda big

Assuming you time your vanishes right

Ugh yeah I guess stuck with Nelf

Anyone got a plater profile for pvp

#

I lose to demo simply because I can't see shit

i was using MES for plater that is a pretty good one too

#

guys how is rogue looking in pvp for World War I ?

wintry dew
#

No one knows until further tuning

#

and there's a lot of tuning left to do until TWW launches

alpine patio
#

i see. Is gameplay changed a lot for Assa since the change on dance>?

lime oar

What’s an avg health pool on beta?

wintry dew
wanton sorrel
#

Evening guys. What spec we think gonna blast in PvP in TWW?

pale storm
#

lost a dance but also gained longer subterfuge and 2nd vanish, so pretty solid as nelf imo

alpine patio

i hope not much will change on Sub rotation. havent read much yet on changes but a man can hope

back to legion numbers

kidney syncing with symbols is actualluy kinda nice ngl lol

#

Yeah - but by alternating vanishes one is available every minute

halcyon timber
#

Yeh so they nerfed vanish instead of shadowmeld. Makes sense . Joking aside, who knows why but it’s whatever now. We adapt and move on.

Does the 2500 conq quest award all weapons?
or just one set?
or just one mainhand?

Anyone know yet?

jolly sierra
#

2500 conq quest?

vestal cape
#

It awards one set I believe then the ability to buy additional weapons for different specs; may be wrong though but that’s how I interpreted it in the post regarding it

vestal cape
# jolly sierra 2500 conq quest?

Yeah in TWW on week 3 of season we’ll get a quest to get our weapons, but we won’t have to spend any conquest for them, just earn a specific amount

jolly sierra
#

so weps arent sold by npcs anymore?

swift smelt
jolly sierra
#

aah i see

spring bough
#

im guessing catalyst open week one again too? lol

outer sky
#

Ideally you're going to want to get full crafted gear besides tier set

#

Unless you play assa in which case you only want 2 set

#

4 set is a dps loss

#

And you only even want 2 set if you play kingsbane

#

If not just use the tier legs for the stats

#

This is all assuming the stat values on gear end up being the same on live as on beta right now btw

stoic spruce
jolly sierra
#

so can we confirm we arent using 4set for s1?

potent pivot
#

MH wep is the biggest upgrade you can do so getting weps late is weird

potent pivot
#

if we get these again

#

and the stats on conq gear is the same after launch

#

then prolly a lot of crafted shit ye

#

now two of my naga buttons aren't working

#

wtf ASmadDannii

#

who is this Camel guy and why does every single person know him when he is in rated bgs lol

#

all i keep hearing is "he ran SL rbgs" lol. guy must be a legend. 2k honor level

potent pivot
#

just going to feel weird wanting to buy a wep first week and waiting

potent pivot
#

they'd just run rgb groups all day everyday for the most part

spring bough
#

im trying to figure out how long it would take to get 2250 honor level lol

#

thats gonna be like 10 hours a day for like 2 years lol

surreal barn
#

It use to be a whole lot faster

#

When it came out you had people blowing through the levels

spring bough
#

i love rated BG chat, "whats the strat for EOS" says healer and we go "DR / FR then get flag once we get bases" brother says "got it" then this healer goes straight to mid for flag we lose both bases then he loses flag

#

GG game lost we got 0 points LMAO

potent pivot
#

q times still looking dece?

spring bough
#

about 5-6 minutes so far still

potent pivot
#

not bad at all for what it is

spring bough
#

some games last no more than 6 minutes too

#

i think i already got the achievements for all maps under 6 minutes lol

potent pivot
spring bough
#

so 10 minutes for que and game is pretty decent

#

unlike solo waiting 45 minutes for a 15 minute match

#

so in a perfect world about 6 solo bgs an hour vs maybe a couple solo shuffles

potent pivot
#

seems like a lot of people have been saying it gives CR really slowly in prepatch

muted abyss
spring bough
#

it was slow but it doesnt seem too bad im not going crazy

#

ive played 38 games since friday

potent pivot
#

if most games are done faster than shuffle games then i don't think it giving lower CR per game is necessarily bad either way

spring bough
#

ive got a range of 7-21 points per game or so once i got up past 1400 or so

potent pivot
#

@outer sky yo

#

nahj been using dfa with deathstalker now, says it spends 2 stacks of the mark

#

looks pretty good so far

#

bomb/duel/dfa and dropping bomb into disarm match ups as far as i can tell

#

nvm also using thief's bargain>dfa

#

pretty much the same talents as kalv though, he's just using -5 sec on symbols instead of shadow focus/imp shtech

outer sky
#

hmmm

#

it shouldnt be spending 2 stcaks though right?

#

like, thats a bug

potent pivot
#

might not be a bug

#

it spends 1 stack when you go in the air, then one on the attack itself from what nahj said

#

so it's treating dfa itself and your evis both as finishers

#

basically

outer sky
#

I think that's a bug. DSM says "when yuu spend 5 or more combo points.....consumes a stack"

#

you only spent the points once

potent pivot
#

well here's hoping that bug sticks around Okay

outer sky
#

it seems pretty insignificant. Ideally you'd want to DFA with lingering darkness for the 100% crit and 60% additional damage

#

so if you use DBA to proc Lingering Darkness

#

It wouldnt come off CD until the buff expires

potent pivot
outer sky
#

you sure he's not just using it to immune CC?

#

I know he likes to do cheeky stuff like that with DFA

potent pivot
#

ye

#

like i said before it looks way more pve than perfect set ups etc

#

but it's also just shuffle

outer sky
#

thief's bargain is a talent im super iffy on

#

It feels incredibly troll not to take bomb and duel

#

esp as sub

#

when you get the vanish CDR on them

#

and 2m bomb

#

plus you need disarm vs most melee

potent pivot
#

it's not as troll as you might think

outer sky
#

and cloak vs assa rogues and ferals

#

so I just have a hard time fitting it in

#

except against caster cleaves

potent pivot
#

you really don't need bomb as much as you think

outer sky
#

because you can cover your go every time?

potent pivot
#

he's mid game not running it rn if you can take a peak

outer sky
#

my own queue just popped

#

Ill tune in after

potent pivot
#

i think bargain is only good into certain shit

outer sky
#

I'm not throwing shade at Nahj at all but he's like one of the most unhelpful streamers out there for as small of an audience as he has. I'll ask him a question in chat and he'll just be like "yeah idk I just kinda like it man"

#

I get it if you have thousands of viewers and chat is blowing up

#

but hes got like 140 people

#

like cmon let me pick your brain man

#

Palumor is by far the most helpful rogue streamer IMO

potent pivot
#

yeh i love palu

#

he's a good guy

outer sky
#

you ask him a question and he will give you a fucking speech as his answer

potent pivot
#

i randomly found one of his YT vids in SL

#

before i ever even watched pvp streams period

outer sky
#

if there's a one shot possible for rogue Pal will figure it out

potent pivot
#

when i was like first getting back into pvp SL s1

#

says he's not playing rogue in tww

outer sky
#

he says that every xpac

potent pivot
outer sky
#

and ends up playing it

potent pivot
#

yeah ik

#

nahj been doing really well in this lobby

#

with dfa/duel/cloak i think

#

but there's no one to disarm it's all casters and a feral

#

he's using sepsis like first global in dance/blades i think

#

and then just at some point in dance (no blades)

outer sky
#

sepsis in dance huh

#

weird

#

he seems to play differently than a lot of people

#

I remember back in SL S1 when sub rogues were all one shotting everyone with the 100% crit leggo

#

Nahj was playing the vanosh CDR leggo

potent pivot
#

yeah one thing to always remember

jolly sierra
#

and w kyrian

potent pivot
#

when it comes to any of this

jolly sierra
#

kyrian cold blood

outer sky
#

he said he liked how he could double kidney

potent pivot
#

r1 players can get r1 with any build

outer sky
#

as if that was more value than 100% crit every go

#

I think sometimes he does stuff just to be different idk

potent pivot
#

people put too much value into talents and gear

#

your play will always determine where you end up

outer sky
#

I often agree with that but 100% crit every single go

#

like

#

come on lol

potent pivot
#

they just get his spec nerfed

#

a lot of the times nerfed too much or in the wrong way

outer sky
#

it wasn't a cheese build

#

just because you kill someone 100-0 doesnt mean you cheesed them

#

sometimes thats just the best build

potent pivot
#

ah you don't mean the cheese build?

outer sky
#

no

potent pivot
#

if you can 100-0 someone in a stun, with minimal commits, that's kinda cheese

outer sky
#

not really it's just game imbalance

potent pivot
#

like if you can solo someone with all your CDs in 1 kidney

outer sky
#

if it wins consistently and more often than other builds why would you ever not play it

potent pivot
#

it should realistically take you and your other dps' CDs to do that, at a minimum

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

dont u remember myk used ER when everyone was using another regular builds in s3?

#

r1 just pick whatever they want

#

maybe cuz they know they can make it work

potent pivot
#

you can probably put kalv/pika/nahj any of the r1 rogues on a s3 SL character with NO leggos and they will still win most games

outer sky
#

I'm pretty close to 100% certain that every single player I 1 shot that season would have done the same to me without hesitation if the shoe was on the other foot

potent pivot
#

most people, sure

#

some people just don't enjoy brain dead shit

outer sky
#

I'm just saying sometimes something is so overtuned that the only reason not to play it is to say you dont

potent pivot
#

i disagree

halcyon timber
#

Game 2 shit is dumb

potent pivot
#

even for me personally, any 1 shot cheese build i would play it a couple games to have a laugh

#

but never more than that

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

assa SL one shot for example, it was really funny, but super fucking boring

outer sky
#

but where do you draw the line between it being cheesy and it just being the best build?

potent pivot
#

there's multiple ways ig

#

a lot of cheese builds won't actually get you very far once everyone's figured out how to counter it

halcyon timber
#

When the devs literally tell you it is tuned within 2% and the game is way tightly tuned than we think

potent pivot
#

assa sepsis 1 shot for example, you're not getting r1 playing that in SL

#

people figured out how to counter it so at higher ratings it didn't even work

jolly sierra
# jolly sierra XD

when i met raz for the 1st time tbh i had no idea about wtf was him till another guy told me "dude he is a r1 how tf u dont know who is him lol"

outer sky
#

in SL S1 a team of 3 rogues got gladiator with the crit one shot build

#

Pretty sure it was def r1 viable

potent pivot
#

SL was also before they started doing frequent tuning

stoic spruce
outer sky
#

its just an example

potent pivot
#

but like i don't get the point of this discussion exactly

outer sky
#

I think the insinuation was thet sometimes Nahj does different things that he knows aren't ideal just because he likes to say he plays differently

potent pivot
#

yeh i see your point there

outer sky
#

and I cited him not playing the crit leggo when it was clearly broken as an example

jolly sierra
#

cant make an opinion too cuz idk how he acts tbh

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

maybe he just likes to go against the grain

#

dunno

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

can't tell ya what goes on in someone else's mind kekdog

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

i just know my pov

outer sky
#

I wonder if these r1s like Pika, Nahj, Kalvish, etc could get r1 in a season where they had to LFG it and not use their bnet full of other multi-r1s

#

id watch that youtube series if someone did ti

#

it*

#

"multi-r1 pugging his way to r1"

potent pivot
#

pika just did something like that

potent pivot
#

he pushed shuffle on every class

outer sky
potent pivot
#

brand new chars

outer sky
#

No i mean real r1

#

in 3s

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

like that prick which ninjaed a caster sword in classic and bullied a guy for that

potent pivot
#

it was like 2.4 on shuffle on every class i think?

jolly sierra
#

u know he was a douchebag just for that

potent pivot
#

someone getting r1 with lfg is impossible

#

imo

#

you have to make connections with team mates

outer sky
#

well even something like

potent pivot
#

you can def LFG glad

#

then make those connections

#

the barrier to r1 is insane

outer sky
#

"multi-r1 tries to get r1 without playing with any r1 friends"

potent pivot
#

would be cool ig

jolly sierra
#

well something clearly will change

#

now gatekeepers will be banned

potent pivot
#

if a r1 played with 2 glads

jolly sierra
#

and dont run away w their chars

potent pivot
#

to get them r1 too

jolly sierra
#

like they did before with another accs

potent pivot
#

but really i think that happens a lot

#

new people that grind glad and want to push further, they make those connections with r1s

outer sky
#

the gap between glad and r1 is huge, as you know. I sometimes think there should be another achievement in between the 2. Like for top 0.5% or something

potent pivot
#

personally i think r1 should be a bigger percentage

outer sky
#

yeah I agree with that

potent pivot
#

solely to give motivation to new people

outer sky
#

like top 0.3 or 0.5%

potent pivot
#

because like almost all r1s know each other

outer sky
#

yeah it's a club

#

and we are not invited lol

potent pivot
#

it's hard to get in there as a newer glad

jolly sierra
#

what did say venruki? than competition should be healthy cuz u can have the next r1 between newcomers?

potent pivot
#

if r1 was like, 1% or even 2%, i think more people would feel motivated to push for it

outer sky
#

drawing the line between accessibility and prestigiousness is difficult

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

one thing i will say

outer sky
#

you dont want to be half afk in Vald and see 10 people with a r1 title run by you

potent pivot
#

r1 being so exclusive, the entire community knows all the r1s

outer sky
#

yeah, pretty much

potent pivot
#

they really are kinda pushed up on a pedestal in most people's eyes

#

awc as well

#

i don't think you even have to be r1 to participate in awc?

#

you just have to have a roster and sign up or something

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

#

Anyone can do it

potent pivot
#

yet it's almost always the same few teams winning kekdog

#

i.e. echo/liquid/the move etc

stoic spruce
#

I cannot imagine why

#

We should make a team

potent pivot
#

yes

#

the ravenholdt awc team

stoic spruce
#

Amazing

outer sky
#

3 rogues

stoic spruce
#

Dibs

potent pivot
#

3 rogues OMEGAKEKW

stoic spruce
#

Weirder shit has been seen

potent pivot
#

i don't think they even allow stacking in awc

#

do they?

#

i feel like i remember double outlaw but maybe not

outer sky
#

we just all play sub, stack giga mastery, and take turns alternative duels on the same person until we kill them

stoic spruce
#

I've never heard of that rule

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

i thought i heard that was a rule in some sort of wow comp, but maybe not

jolly sierra
#

ravenholdt bilge rats

outer sky
jolly sierra
#

and we play w no elves

potent pivot
outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Undead, Tauren, panda.

potent pivot
#

i swear i remember double outlaw though

stoic spruce
#

You do

potent pivot
#

yeah

outer sky
#

They both played that obnoxious earth ele legendary

potent pivot
#

liquid played double outlaw

outer sky
#

and just tried to overwhelm the other team

potent pivot
#

ic

#

i also remember seeing brewmaster

#

multiple times

stoic spruce
#

Lol yeah

potent pivot
#

there's a brewmaster one shot on beta

#

get ready gentlemen

outer sky
#

what

potent pivot
#

yeah lmfao

outer sky
#

I need to learn that

stoic spruce
#

I swear brm is the most slept on spec

jolly sierra
#

feint more

stoic spruce
#

It's always busted but no one plays brm

#

So no one knows

potent pivot
#

people do at the end of season in shuffle

#

to cheese r1 title

stoic spruce
#

Relatable

jolly sierra
#

a friend got 2k4 in SS today he told me

potent pivot
#

maybe i'll play veng in shuffle next season

jolly sierra
#

but idk why he did that tbh if there are not reward and is off season

potent pivot
#

since i'm finally going to be playing a hybrid class for once kekdog

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

lit i got 2k1 in SL w ret and stopped cuz was off season and only reason to play till that cuz u can get look alike for other classes w upgrades

potent pivot
#

the day season starts

#

so like the tmog and enchant?

jolly sierra
#

isnt 1k8 enough?

#

i played a shuffle in off season with gain

#

above 2k1

#

idk if that will work

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

but isnt something safe

potent pivot
#

didn't you get the tmog when DF season started

jolly sierra
#

for SL i got 2k1 w ret

potent pivot
#

you played shuff in off season

jolly sierra
#

started DF

#

no xmog

#

no enchant

potent pivot
#

really

jolly sierra
#

w rog i just got the xmog at day 1

potent pivot
#

i know for a fact someone in here got the tmog from playing off season

#

ya

jolly sierra
#

and played anyways

#

can confirm

#

i got DF s1 xmog at day 1 with rogue

#

cuz i did an arena before that at 1k8 CR

potent pivot
#

it might have just been a bug because shuffle was brand new

jolly sierra
#

ye but isnt safe

potent pivot
#

idk if it has worked like that in DF s1->s2 and s2->s3 etc

jolly sierra
#

we would need more evidence to check that

potent pivot
#

yeah idk

#

i don't really play off season ever

jolly sierra
#

well off season worked to get the pvp classic xmog

#

so

potent pivot
#

true

#

is that a blitz only reward?

jolly sierra
#

i rlly wanted that shit since long time ago

#

nah

#

can be in regular rbgs too

#

but u know

potent pivot
#

i really hope they continue that

jolly sierra
#

regular ones are very dead

potent pivot
#

like every coming season they re-introduce the old season tmogs

#

like TWW s1->classic s1
TWW s2->classic s2

#

but keep it going forever

jolly sierra
#

remember the arguing w rat?

#

seems like they ended hearing most ppl

potent pivot
#

the what

jolly sierra
#

one very heated we had here

#

with a pvp multi hero

#

cuz he wanted to keep regular rewards in their respective brackets even w gatekeeping avoiding participation

#

rather than let new players play solo and let them get stuff too

potent pivot
#

yeah i don't remember, but that's just weird

jolly sierra
#

yeah it ended bad

#

but the point is

potent pivot
#

i think even glad mount should be open to every bracket

jolly sierra
#

if u wanna bring ppl

potent pivot
#

just make it higher rating needed

jolly sierra
#

let them get stuff too

potent pivot
#

like 2800 shuffle->glad mount

jolly sierra
#

that could work

#

but doing gatekeeping w just a little ppl is lit killing the game

#

and straight greedy

#

like that guy in olympic games which doesnt wanted to share the gold medal, challenged the other gold candidate and lose

#

ending w silver

potent pivot
#

tabard is 2.4 in any bracket ya?

jolly sierra
#

ye

#

got my own at 2k4 SS

potent pivot
#

oh you got 2.4 in s4?

#

i remember you were close, gratz

outer sky
#

Nice dude thats sick

jolly sierra
#

nono

stoic spruce
jolly sierra
#

dont congratz me

#

i did that in s1

#

xd

potent pivot
#

ohhh

stoic spruce
#

Bro

jolly sierra
#

kek

stoic spruce
#

I'm still mad that I didn't play a single ss game this season

#

Got a whopping 0

potent pivot
#

for most people there isn't much reason to go further than 2.4

#

2.4 on one toon, 1.8 on alts etc

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Better games were out lol

jolly sierra
#

well now popo brings that point

#

im a guy which has slower progress but consistent
