Woah

muted abyss
#

I've literally never gone out in public without seeing someone at leat 100lbs overweight in the US

potent pivot
#

that's definitely an overstatement

muted abyss
#

Not in Texas lol

potent pivot
#

kinda weird too ngl

lime oar
#

Generalization due to popular media

#

I’m in DFW airport right now and I’m seeing hella fit people

muted abyss
#

Oh, I'm in Austin and it's hella fit people as well, but there is always at least a few people that are huuuuge

#

Go to one of the shitter states, and it's every other person

lime oar
#

Yeah I mean I think the US def leads in obesity

muted abyss
#

not leading, but up there

#

I think Mexico is higher

lime oar
#

Damn fr

muted abyss
#

Yeah, they drink more coke than water

lime oar
#

Dr Pepper is water right?

halcyon timber
#

dr peppers is sick af

#

ice cold dr pepper or Ginger ale or root beer

spring bough
#

dr pepper was technically medicine right so its okay??

muted abyss
#

also served warm / hot

lime oar
#

Yeah it’s fine.

spring bough
#

bring back coke in coca cola 2025

lime oar
#

I reckon someone somewhere has one still sealed

#

I’d toss it back instantly

spring bough
#

Oh wow outlaw isn’t even using four set for pve lol

#

Looks like we got some more crafted we can do

stoic spruce
#

pen15

#

yeah i doubt tier is in its final stages of tuning

#

id be surprised if at least one doesnt change honestly

potent pivot
#

they'll buff it or change it or something

stoic spruce
#

trickz

#

I thopught of something

#

an idea

#

hypothtically

#

but a tllaent

#

right

#

where the more dispatches you send, the harder your next BtE hits

#

I think I'd like that

#

and each finisher thats a consecutive dispatch

#

dispatch dmg increases

#

and ofc the bte cast resets the dispatch dmg

#

wait whats our tier in tww

spring bough
#

2 set is sinister pistol and ambush have 20% to ethereal rampage dealing 15% inc dmg as shadow. 4 set is ethereal rampage inc the damage of the next BTE by 6% stacking up to 3 times

#

Sounds kinda poop

stoic spruce
#

gross

#

not even close to my idea

spring bough
#

So 18% inc on BTE and then for pvp that’s what 9% yeah four set doesn’t sound too hype

stoic spruce
#

ehhh not too worried tbh

#

itll get buffed fo sho

#

maybe if its buffed enough, it'll be enough to make non-crackshot builds not as terrible

#

I miss those days

spring bough
#

Trying to get these red daggers from remix for rogue. Just have to camp 3 rares while I grind my last levels lol

outer sky
#

This rogue I just did SS with was playing these talents

#

any thoughts?

potent pivot
#

that's the last flag build nahj tried

#

minus replicating shadows

#

it's trash

#

oh and he's playing ER

#

ew

#

dropping Tea or any other capstones on class tree

#

is terribad

surreal barn
#

I was playing sepsis/flag/brew/tea for these gigantic one shots this week

#

It was fun

potent pivot
#

yeah if you they let you get flag off it feels nice

surreal barn
#

Yep

#

It is very easy in a battleground setting

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

less stuff getting tracked in BGs

surreal barn
#

Shuffle Assa has been more fun

surreal barn
#

Druids especially

spring bough
#

I like how kul tiran gets 1% vers and some healing and humans get 2% of all secondary’s. Balanced racials 😂

surreal barn
#

And somehow a kultirans fat ass can swim faster

#

lolol

jolly sierra
#

once in a EOTS have seen a kul tiran punching a goblin so hard in draenei ruins than ended dropping in the abyss cuz the aim where was punched lol

spring bough
#

Honestly I might play this more if I can kick shamans and hunters off the flag in EOTS and off the LM on AB

#

It’s fun to do that lol

#

Like nah you aent capping this flag SEE YAH

jolly sierra
#

so who is ready to do a lizard rogue?

toxic af but are funny to read

potent pivot

The only cool thing about dracthyr being other class imo

Can’t they dragonfly without a mount

nah

@potent pivot Trying out stacking crit as outlaw instead of haste and I think it's better. Some other rogues I've talked to on beta also said so. They said the whole haste stacking thing for the 0.8s GCD is a PvE thing

potent pivot
outer sky
#

Also this weapon enchant, suffocating darkness, is broken

potent pivot
#

every class that has hasted gcd stacks haste to a certain gcd cap

potent pivot
#

with our vanish and ADR uptime

#

i don't think there's a single solitary shot we don't run haste

#

until i hear someone reputable like trill say its bad

outer sky
#

according to Murlok people dont seem to run it

potent pivot
#

brother

outer sky
#

I know theres not a lot of people playing retail outla

#

w

potent pivot
#

murlok is live

outer sky
#

but still

potent pivot
#

not beta

outer sky
#

isnt the GCD change also live?

#

i thought it came with the prepatch

potent pivot
#

yeah but everyone already has gear rn

#

i doubt anyone's optimizing live rn

#

it'd be kinda pointless

potent pivot
outer sky
#

yeah

potent pivot
#

but he doesn't even know the change

#

i'm just joking around

outer sky
#

idk anyone more reputable than pal

#

stacking haste definitely feels like trash compared to stacking crit I can say that much

potent pivot
#

we'll see when the season starts shrugFreg

#

i know what i'm going first

#

extra globals are just really important

#

prolly gaining like

#

30-50 globals per match depending on match length

outer sky
#

I just got 6 ace procs in a row

#

love to see it

stoic spruce
#

shouldve saved that luck for S1 lmaoo

potent pivot
#

crit really doesn't even have any interactions with outlaw other than more dmg does it

stoic spruce
#

negative

potent pivot
#

yeah there's no way it beats hasted gcd man

#

just no way

stoic spruce
#

nah

potent pivot
#

MAYBE before they nerfed crit in pvp

#

but now? ain't no way

stoic spruce
#

well

#

yeah no

#

it would take some sort of crit interaction

#

but does outlaw really need that?

potent pivot
#

well the conversation was stacking crit vs taking haste

stoic spruce
#

right

#

idk man

potent pivot
#

not really about what there could be

stoic spruce
#

I like a good haste mastery outlaw

#

personally

stoic spruce
#

like

#

eh nvm. eyes are too heavy to think

outer sky
#

4x BTE crit dam

stoic spruce
#

compelling argument

#

however

#

downtime hurts more

potent pivot
#

dmg of one spell or cast all spells faster

#

imp bte is also nerfed in pvp

stoic spruce
#

yeah that sounds like (not to sound like a broken record but) a pre-crackshot cook

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

prolly since it came into existence

#

if i had to guess

stoic spruce
#

prolly for the better

potent pivot
#

@outer sky i'm looking through all the hasted classes right now

#

legit every single one of the runs 20-30% haste in pvp

outer sky
#

but arent we only "hasted" during a cooldown?

potent pivot
#

a cooldown with 50% uptime

outer sky
#

but still, 50% vs other classes at 100%

potent pivot
#

sure

#

idk it's honestly such a no brainer to me

outer sky
#

its contested because people question how good it is to stack a stat that's trash for half the game

potent pivot
#

it's not trash though

#

haste has more interactions than that

#

like yeah outside of ADR crit would be better

#

but you've still got FF, Main Gauche etc

potent pivot
#

with crafted gear and all

outer sky
#

maybe half an hour

#

give or take

potent pivot
#

kk

outer sky
#

so this changed in 3 days?

potent pivot
#

prolly tomorrow ill get it and see myself

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

just came back from cincinati open, world change again?

potent pivot
#

i've said that multiple times before

waxen meteor
#

ok let scroll up...

potent pivot
#

wait tarny

#

not replying to u

#

lol

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

ah oaky

potent pivot
#

but 50% uptime on ADR definitely outweighs that

#

i'll get beta and see for myself tomorrow

#

i'd rather know before season starts

#

than wait over a month for others to test it

outer sky
#

Idk man I'm just spamming lobbies back and forth some with crit stack some with haste stack

#

i'd love to get you on beta too

#

because I'm getting mixed results

potent pivot
#

ye i'll get it tmrw fuck it

#

i need to go to bed after i'm done lvling this mage

#

trying to fix my schedule a bit

outer sky
potent pivot
#

got things to do man

#

ik it'll get fucked up again it always does

#

but normal folks be doin stuff during the day

halcyon timber
outer sky
#

@potent pivot No feral clone isnt insta cast

potent pivot
#

Or some shit

outer sky
#

I guess ill try a lobby as assass

potent pivot
outer sky
#

?

#

whos stream am I on now lol

#

oh thats Mes

#

should have known

#

I went 3-3

#

not bad

#

but there was one game the lock lived with 360 hp

#

and he got BoPd

#

and we lost

#

feelsbad

#

thats why I hate BoP

cinder elm
#

do you ever consider kidney in subterfuge/dance or stealth

#

in the interest of saving binds

halcyon timber
halcyon timber
cinder elm
#

been using this to only kidney out of stealth to save a bind

#

u would never cast kidney in subterfuge yah?

halcyon timber
#

Depends what is going on and is purely based on situation and value.

#

Ie stopping a healer with a kidney shot to extend into a blind + sap etc.

cinder elm
#

are they on teh same dr

halcyon timber
#

All stuns are

cinder elm
#

i remember seeing someone say kidney is different after the 30 sec thing

#

but maybe i was hallucinating

halcyon timber
#

Most likely heh

#

I think they only stun that doesn’t dr is infernal stun from a warlock

#

Earthshock from shaman used to do the same too ( was legion or some crap)

outer sky
#

if anyone is watching Mes' stream right now, its a perfect demonstration of what I mean when I say assass does a shit ton of damage but cant kill anything

halcyon timber
#

Going fatebound star?

#

Or rocking ds?

outer sky
#

ds

#

fatebound is trash for assa

halcyon timber
#

Crud

#

Wondering what the realistic tuning knob is here. ( they did say hero talents are the primary part and they are keeping a close eye on things)

outer sky
#

yeah, you 0-6 while topping meters

#

thats like

halcyon timber
#

Woo

outer sky
#

the most annoying thing ever

halcyon timber
#

Agreed

outer sky
#

everything is dying but nothing dies

halcyon timber
#

Mw / disc as heals?

#

Oh nvm

#

Double priesr

#

Priest*

#

What would be dumb is if something silly like an external cd like dark archangel gave you the punch you “needed”

outer sky
#

it needs a cooldown that it can press to finish someone

#

it doesn't have that right now

#

even if we get it at the cost of some spread pressure

#

thats fine

#

like

halcyon timber
#

Hmm ideas?

outer sky
#

that lobby was just disgusting

halcyon timber
#

Maybe reverse the kb tuning?

outer sky
#

I'm literally keeping the entire enemy team sub 50% the whole game doing more damage than everyone else but I cant get a kill

halcyon timber
#

Back to more punch less dot ?

outer sky
#

granted that lobby was a pretty extreme example

#

but still

halcyon timber
#

That feels like crap

outer sky
#

you get that feeling all the time

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just a stun / bleed bot for the real gatorade heroes

#

Sounds appropriate for a redux to spread and some refocused on single hatred like you suggested

outer sky
#

what happens a lot if someone will literally get to 1% hp and your sudden demise still doesnt proc and they get healed up because you didnt have combo points for an envenom

#

in one game I played on Mes' stream earlier I got a warlock to 360hp

#

and lost lol

halcyon timber
#

Saw the photo, that’s definitely cruddy

outer sky
#

yeah I'm actually really tilted right now

#

even though its just beta

#

almost every game

#

is like

halcyon timber
#

Completely understandable man

#

No worries

outer sky
#

if you had one more global you could kill someone

halcyon timber
#

No judgement man

#

What if - dsm was bumped back up a tad for assassination?

outer sky
#

nah wouldnt change a thing

halcyon timber
#

At the cost of spread?

#

Crap

outer sky
#

god no

#

dont talk like that lol

#

DSM isn't on demand enough. You get it when you get it

halcyon timber
#

They will make a shift as the trade

#

The keybis figuring out what is being traded

#

Key is*

#

I wonder how far a 9% to envenom would do

#

Then all talents considered etc

outer sky
#

we need to give up on envenom

#

as long as sanguine blades exists it's never going to be a good button

#

NoTrickz will disagree

halcyon timber
#

30% to the bleedys is big

#

Trickz is sleeping too

outer sky
#

yeah ik

halcyon timber
#

Stinks

outer sky
#

I just dont know what to do with this

#

they will never give us more damage

#

because then we'd just triple kill the enemy team every time

halcyon timber
#

Bump FI to 3/3 instead of 1/3 and cap the stacks maybe

outer sky
#

FI?

halcyon timber
#

Fatal intent? I think is the name?

outer sky
#

oh yeah

halcyon timber
#

The execute bleed DS got

#

For assassin only though

outer sky
#

well if they buff that then we may as well consider 20% dead which I dont think they want

halcyon timber
#

Yeah for sure

#

Exasanguinate 2.0

#

Exsanguinate*

#

Hmm

outer sky
#

there's a fine line between triple killing the whole enemy team with ease and not doing enough damage to kill anyone

#

and assass is right on that line

#

and its really annoying

#

"This guy's at 2%. I can't do shit"

halcyon timber
#

The devs likely have something in motion already

#

Prob won’t seem like much but when they did a 6% tuning on some classes during df it got nuts as an example

outer sky
#

Fatal Intent did 586 in that lobby

halcyon timber
#

Hard to really say man bc they have to consider how to influence DS without making FB something ridiculous

outer sky
#

so it did 19.5k damage per person

halcyon timber
#

Freakin a

outer sky
#

probably less because of hunter pet and demo pets

halcyon timber
#

Sounds like it somehow needs to collapse on the marked target ig

#

If it is to punch for assass

#

Those count for lethal dose too?

#

By any chance

#

Also you try using the silly depths enchant? Dunno if that is amped by assassin plague damage concerning ds

outer sky
#

ive used it on outlaw

halcyon timber
#

Or wonder if the lightning strike gets buffed by assassination (as it is nature) for testing purposes

#

Storms enchant

outer sky
#

yeah just had another 0-6

#

topped damn

#

same shit

#

everyone almost dies

#

nobody actually does

cinder elm
#

for keybinds do most ppl just use a target arena123

#

or do they have seperate for like kidney 123, blind 123

#

having a lot of issues w targeting

outer sky
#

Technically Kidney 123 is a bit better in arena but focus is almost as good and can be used in BGs and PvE as well

#

So a lot of people do that too

harsh kiln
#

did they remove the damage increase during subtrefuge for outlaw? does it only apply to BtE from stealth now?

outer sky
harsh kiln
#

fair enough, i was trying so hard to comprehend how to make outlaw not feel clunky while trying to use everything inside of a subtrefuge window. didn't work

outer sky
#

heres another beta example everyone, 3-3 doing almost 100m more damage than the next closest dps

#

meters look like this

harsh kiln
#

BtE feels kinda redundant now tbh, killingspree pretty much lines up with every kidney so there's no need to vanish stun bte spam

#

situational ofc.

outer sky
#

just pve it

#

dont wait for kidney

harsh kiln
#

for solo sure, idk feels like waiting 5 second for a stun into "big" damage might be worth in 3s

outer sky
#

I usually kidney the healer as outlaw tbh

harsh kiln
#

or, you could vanish spam BtE and once that's done kidney into GS/Killingspree for max damage. that way you get the 20% crit aswell.

#

yeah i mean all of this is theoretical and depends on situation for sure. i would also kidney healers

harsh kiln
#

from BtE

outer sky
#

ah right

#

i tried outlaw a lot

#

It just feels so shit

#

with nerfed ace

#

if they revert that nerf I'll play it

harsh kiln
#

i've played outlaw for most of DF but i can't for the life of me remember waht it used to be. was it 10% per cp?

outer sky
#

5% but it gave you 5 combo points

#

now its 4% per CP to get 4 CPs

harsh kiln
#

ah right.

#

yeah that extra cp was well worth

outer sky
#

and the proc chance

harsh kiln
#

it felt better for sure

#

i dont mind the proc chance though, for me it's that extra cp that made it so nice, you didn't have to spend another global to get spamming bte, granted you can still do it but you'll miss out on damage

#

speaking of beta, is Coup de Grace bugged atm?

outer sky
#

another 5% chance

#

those things are kinda intertwined

harsh kiln
#

yes

#

just felt smoother when you could use it back to back

outer sky
#

with 5 CPs

#

outlaw has a talent that refunds comvo points so you almost always get an extra one after a 5+ point bte

harsh kiln
#

Yeah, ive been doing that aswell, its annyoing if you want that extra damge though:) either way it feels clunkier now than what it did

Does remix end at some point today or is it tomorrow on server maintenance

Hey friends, question about binds here (pvp-play - Sub spec): what do y'all have on your Cheap Shot key when you're out of Stealth / Dance? I'm trying to figure out if it's at all smart to have a key bound CS/Kidney... I think it's probably dumb because you want to be able to kidney while dancing, but maybe there's a macro that can help out with Stances, so that it would only CS while in stealth and kidney if you're out of stealth and/or dancing, but I'm not sure what's the right move here. Thank you in advance for your wisdom ❤️

harsh kiln
exotic epoch
# harsh kiln my bars looks the same🤷‍♂️

Ah yes, you probably don't have it bound to the default first action bar (the one that changes whether you're in stealth or not). Maybe I should be asking a broader question about whether it's a good or bad idea to use that default stealth/no stealth bar...

spring bough
harsh kiln
#

i do, but i made them have the same binds

spring bough
#

I keep a lot of stealth abilities off action bar 1 so when I’m in vanish bursts as outlaw I don’t need to worry about bars changing

exotic epoch
#

Ah roger that. I think I might be trying to "game" a bar mechanic, and that the right answer might be "just don't game it" 😄

spring bough
#

Kidney and cheap for me are on X and Shift X

#

Makes it ez pz

harsh kiln
#

kiss, keep it simple stupid

#

no need to complicate things:)

spring bough
#

I’ll send you a link of my outlaw binds in a sec. Hell some keys I don’t even use not enough abilities anymore lol

spring bough
#

i keep it pretty simple. 1-5 and then shift keys on things. i only have two key binds with CTRL and that is for kidney, which does a shadowstep, stun, then grapples me back to my OG place, and i have that for gouge too. i know not the same as sub but gives u an idea

#

its nice having open buttons now lol. used to have full bars

exotic epoch
#

Thanks! The one thing I feel works pretty well to save a key is Sap when stealthed // Evisc during all other times (including Shadow Dance - I play mostly Subtlety). If you know of any other elegant ways to save a keybind, I always find it useful...
PS: love your CTRL macros on kidney and gouge, definitely something I need to improve on

spring bough
#

There’s probably a way to do them with shadowstep for sub since u get two charges. For outlaw it’s awesome healer cc. Just put them on focus and don’t even worry about where they are lol

spring bough
#

this sha illusion was so worth spending time on remix and this golden astral serpent too lol

Whats spec is looking good on tww?

#

maybe we gotta wait for tier sets to see what gonna be good in pvp?

pearl dune
#

Why is sub suddenly doing damage again in pvp

#

From unplayable to s tier again?

Probably armor shenanigans + pve tuning.

Damage

halcyon timber
surreal barn
#

It’s not really about the one use though lol

#

It’s about what it does in 5 seconds

halcyon timber
#

Just wondering

#

Agreed

surreal barn
#

Yeh

halcyon timber
#

Just weird as heck that it seems off somehow

surreal barn
#

I mean you arent getting master assassin and buffed dance anymore - the overall damage would have to be so overtuned to reach what we had before

halcyon timber
#

Or its just not tuned to hijack the kit which is good but still seems odd that it did only a priests lifebar equivalent

surreal barn
#

Wouldn’t make sense to buff kingsbane that much

halcyon timber
#

Agreed

surreal barn
#

It’s all about them coin flips now

halcyon timber
#

Which isn’t bad bc then core abilities can breathe and special attacks can be tuned on their own realistically

exotic epoch
surreal barn
#

Every spec I’ve played so far has had one skill doing the majority of damage which from a devs perspective will be easier to tune around

outer sky

surreal barn
#

Disagree, I would get two ticks out of it

#

Which were legit damage

outer sky
#

2 set bonus is half of what nightstalker was

outer sky
#

the DoT ticks for like 75k

surreal barn
#

I’m not referring to beta

outer sky
#

This was on beta

surreal barn
#

Yeah I know

#

Just explaining why kingsbane was never going to work without the tools of DF

#

I mean, at least in the way we used it

#

As big dam or an execute

halcyon timber
# outer sky the DoT ticks for like 75k

Sawthe same for shadowpriests on some stuff but they also crank . The mechanical change of void torrent being much shorter channel time def gave them some punch.

#

Revisiting fatebound, kinda hard to think that 30% bonus damage on envenoms + lucky 7 hits, and fated tails at 6-8 stacks stinks. Thoughts rogues?

#

(Revisiting the discussion from last night)

#

Realistically, DS is likely to be revisited by the devs for assassination to get them rolling without making you guys nutso

candid tide
#

is sub the goto spec in tww guys?

potent pivot
#

Most likely going to be able to play whatever you prefer

outer sky
#

only reason I hesitate to go fatebound is losing that corrupt the blood damage

#

that constantly ticking on everyone with a rupture is nothing to sneeze at

#

thats 26m damage

#

and a lot of presure

#

idk

surreal barn
#

Does add that 2% extra dam too from it being a bleed? Or does it not count as one

halcyon timber
#

Its another rupture hook which is great

surreal barn
#

Sounds pretty good

halcyon timber
#

Honestly no idea if it does tie into assassinations LD

potent pivot
#

theoretically it should count for Lethal Dose and it's also Plague

#

Plague is like Nature+Shadow or some shit

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

#

Singular focus providing priority damage isn’t anything to scoff at either.

potent pivot

# exotic epoch I see. Thank you for the advice. Yeah I have a naga, and I feel decent at 123456...

What I found out is, that rogue is one of the harder classes to bind since you need some combos that are easy to press. For example being able to shadowstep kidney (+focus). So I have Step on Q and Kidney on R, kick on E and cheap on C, then I can pair them effortlessly with step everytime, having shift as focus modifier. Rotational abilities are on 123456, CDs on 789 for me. Being able to dance+cheap with (7+C) fast cause dance is not on GCD and so using mouse and keyboard at same time makes it really fast. btw I have sap on B, so step sap is also fast

outer sky
#

My step is C, kidney is 2, cheap is F, kick is 7

#

And then alt+those buttons is focus for them

candid tide
#

step should be on side mouse button u know

#

to give ur left hand more space to do other things

hollow carbon
candid tide
hollow carbon
potent pivot
#

i assume he means 7 mouse button

#

my step is M4 kick is M5

#

alt-C is ez tho

candid tide
#

but ye anything works getting used too eventually

hollow carbon
potent pivot
#

what

#

it isn't at the same time

#

he said alt-C is focus step and alt-F is focus cheap

hollow carbon
#

Focus step cheapshot would be that combo

candid tide
#

alt c works with certain keyboard, on the keychron the alt sits way to far to the left

potent pivot
#

some people don't use combinations

candid tide
#

requires the thumb to have to reach too much

potent pivot
#

it's not mandatory

hollow carbon
#

I agree

outer sky
hollow carbon
#

I just rebinded some stuff over the years to have the flexibility to do diff combos

potent pivot
#

i don't have any combinations macro'd either really

#

my step->whatever buttons are all close

candid tide
#

ah yeye

hollow carbon
#

It’s not a macro, it’s pressing 2 binds on focus target and while step is not on GCD you could perform it at same time kinda.

candid tide
#

its on your mouse

could fk shit up in some situations i feel like, or maybe not

hollow carbon
candid tide
#

i see

hollow carbon
#

But it doesn’t really harm anything usually

#

For aimed abilities I would say it’s a problem like hook or totems

potent pivot
#

i don't think so

#

i use mouse button for hook

#

but i don't use my mouse buttons for regular rotation

candid tide
hollow carbon
#

While moving with left+right click could be weird

candid tide
#

but i guess it can get used too also eventually

potent pivot
#

if he's not using W

#

true true

#

but that's an issue regardless of where you bind the retical ability

hollow carbon
#

Well in the end it’s mostly about muscle memory but I also got some problems with my wrists which made me love having my rotation on mouse rather than keyboard

#

Actually I stopped playing melee and started caster 2 years ago cause of pain in wrists+fingers from button smashing

#

Now I can enjoy melee again 😅

potent pivot
#

do most people use their mouse buttons for rotation

#

that sounds like it'd feel so odd to me

hollow carbon
#

I’m not sure, I had rewire my brain kinda. I was playing for 2 weeks like a newb

#

But now it feels super effortless pressing all that stuff

potent pivot
#

i know pikaboo does

hollow carbon
#

Especially on outlaw 👀

#

I think some do and others not, just a habit

potent pivot
#

i'm just so used to using keyboard 1,2,3,q,e,r,f,g for rotation

hollow carbon
#

Pressing W+2 always felt weird to me

spring bough
#

i use two mouse buttons. one is a mouseover for interrupt and the other is just for blade flurry

hollow carbon
#

Yeah I played just with keyboard for years

#

I think Reckful was just moving with left-right click and rebbound all stuff on WASD etc

candid tide
#

seriously?

#

thats mad

#

But Reckful was not the best rogue in cata, that was Khuna

hollow carbon
#

Oh really?! Holy f

potent pivot
#

you can reach a lot of buttons while moving with any binds really

#

sometimes you have to depend on mouse to move forward

candid tide
#

well if we watch what some handicapped people still pulloff

#

these are all normal modes in compare

warped gate
#

Except I used to have 4 as my gap closer too.

#

When I leveled this rogue, I took it as an opportunity to break the habit and try to learn some new binds and actually use this fucking Naga.

#

Lots of overwriting muscle memory though.

candid tide
#

i dont use W as forward moving, i use it for backstab or as any combo point builder depends on speccs

hollow carbon
#

Ye it is a bit weird at start

candid tide
#

wow setup is such a pain before we can sit down and truly play it optimally

potent pivot
#

pretty sure it has more abilities/keybinds than any other game

lime oar

Easily.

SL was a really nice amount of buttons imo

yeah maybe not

it's gotten a little insane now

meanwhile DH has like 10 less abilities and half of them go off automatically

# outer sky Damage

Is this on beta right? because during pre patch kingsbane still does alot of damage. Thats insane what happened

potent pivot
#

they have a talent that places sigils at their target

#

like what

candid tide
#

but playing a DH is like driving a F1 car

#

its not simply as less buttons

#

u gotta learn to control it

potent pivot
#

that's pretty damn easy imo

warped gate
#

I wish I liked the aesthetics of DH because goddamn it seems piss easy.

#

But it’s just too damn edgy for me, same reason why I couldn’t get into DK.

lime oar

Teaching someone to competently play DH would take one session

#

Teaching someone to competently play rogue would take a long time

Speaks for itself

candid tide

DH is magerogue hybrid

potent pivot

ig it's one less global and one less ability

#

but it feels whack af

lime oar

Key word, feels

#

Nothing feels as good as rogue imo

I’ve tried every class and they just feel bland and spammy. Yeah they all have their own talent interactions and cc but…idk

Nothing else comes close to that freedom

Demon Blades or w/e

i gotta add that to my xmas farm

i got both the same year

i just hit the event on every alt everyday

#

dk seems hella low on binds

spring bough

yeah its super nice lol

#

rogue is low on binds now too its amazing

potent pivot
#

prolly going to take me a couple days of play to get used to RP and runes

potent pivot
#

you think so?

spring bough
#

lol outlaw dont need much

#

1-3 is sinister/ambush, dispatch, BTE and the rest on other keys

#

that sinister/ambush swap macro is great for HO

#

and i was looking at what popo said and the PVE build drops killing spree for imp main gauche, so might take that since its passive. then another bind gone

potent pivot
#

i'm fine with how many binds outlaw has for the most part

#

i like KS and BR

#

the only ability i don't care much for having is GS

spring bough
#

i dont even bind that i just have it macrod to everything

#

dont even need to think about GS lol

#

thank god its off global

potent pivot
#

still not sure how i feel about them making SBS a passive

#

like i could understand losing a bind on sub

#

having ER, sepsis, and flag is just wild

spring bough
#

sin always felt light on binds lol

potent pivot
#

back in SL yeah

#

i was quite happy to play necro in SL because you hit SBS more often than ER/Flag

#

also enjoyed playing exsang

#

a lot

#

feel like i have less binds than most rogues and it's still much more than a lot of other classes

spring bough
#

thats the one bind i never did was seperate ones for blind. i just use a mouseover one. maybe i should start doing focus / arena ones lol

potent pivot
#

yeah i prefer 123blind in most cases

#

though really assa has a very similar amount of binds as it did in SL eh

#

has KB and Tea now instead of SBS and Exsang

outer sky
#

I suggest macroing it to BtE if you're gunna macro it at all

#

And I'd def suggest leaving it on a separate bind for those 1/100 situations where you want to ghostly something else

outer sky
potent pivot
spring bough
#

whats the thoughts on using airborne for BGs to disrupt flags or nah

potent pivot
#

since i have blind123 on alt-m4,m5,m6 it doesn't really bother me, the amount of binds i mean

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

you also have this

#

so you can even use it in the middle of team fights

#

just for the dmg/healing reduction

spring bough
#

and its 48 seconds or so for the CD with both blind talents

#

i might take it then no more gouge and another bind to drop lol

potent pivot
#

not sure how i'd feel about that in arena/shuffle

#

but in blitz fuck it lol

spring bough
#

maybe good with demo / bm teams then u can blind all the pets after a call to the wild lol

#

screw up their entire go lol

outer sky
#

Ehhhhhh

#

The only reason I'm not totally dumpstering the idea is because of the recent gouge nerfs

#

I mean maybe if you're playing with a mage and your gouge DRs his sheeps

#

Mayyyybeee

spring bough
#

i feel like in blitz a big team fight on flag that would be huge with blackjack too

#

i had a mage scream at me once cause of gouge. PTSD lol

outer sky
#

If you do that and you have an affi lock on your team he's gunna rage so hard lol

spring bough
#

and sin rogues lol

#

just cancel a sudden demise just like that lmao

potent pivot
#

tbh it could be a good defensive for outlaw

#

since you have no DoTs

#

1min CD 30% DR

spring bough
#

quick disorient so i can haymaker people

potent pivot
#

idr which, either the mage or the affl was like "wtf is that cloak duration? i can't play the game"

outer sky
#

Can't play the game because of 2s longer cloak lmfao

potent pivot
#

yeah lmao

#

but it does seem really good into caster cleaves

outer sky
#

i dont think so, I'd only take it into boomie or mage

#

fire mage*

#

BnS gives you a second defensive

#

not a great one

#

but at least evasion isn't useless

potent pivot
#

i suppose

#

i think it'd be good into lock tho

#

prolly depending on which lock spec

outer sky
#

I find that 5s cloak is fine into casters except the ones with extremely long CD windows that dont do much outside those CDs

potent pivot
#

evasion DR prolly better vs burstier dmg profiles

outer sky
#

tbh for a 2m CD cloak should be 7s baseline at a minimum

#

it was a 1m CD for the longest time

potent pivot
#

yeah idk

outer sky
#

and I think for what it does compared to other defensives other classes have now, 2m is too long

potent pivot
#

i think our defensives are pretty good compared to other classes

#

but they're really kinda all or nothing

#

use them incorrectly or overlap with your healer and you're fucked

outer sky
#

I just dont think 2 defensives, neither of which can be used while stunned, one useless into casters and the other useless or unimpactful into (many) melee justifies them both being on 2m CDs

I wish cloak was on cdr for float

Too much burst yeah lol

potent pivot
#

maybe elu into very specific match ups or something

last jasper
outer sky
#

realistically BnS should be baseline to justify these having 2m CDs

#

and maybe have the hero talent buff it to 30%

#

but ofc I'm also of the opinion that elusiveness should be baseline as well, baked into feint

potent pivot
#

that would be disgustingly op

outer sky
#

nah if it was that OP we'd take it over this faulty cheat talent that doesnt even work half the time

potent pivot
#

we're the only class with a defensive like feint

potent pivot
#

it wouldn't be fighting cheat if it was baseline

outer sky
#

I dont think cheat is strong enough for its inclusion into anything to make it OP

#

it doesnt even work

#

if it worked, maybe sure

potent pivot
#

like if you look at pve just as an example

#

we're the most immortal class in the game

outer sky
#

You take elusiveness mostly in pve though not cheat

#

and

#

cheat works in pve

#

if you do take it

#

it doesnt work in pvp

potent pivot
#

not always

last jasper
outer sky
#

2 r1s and thousands upon thousands of keys since legion and I dont remember it ever failing me once

#

it was so reliable that I would play the game differently if I had cheat

potent pivot
#

i've had it fail multiple times in raid

outer sky
#

i'd stand in mechanics and let it proc

#

just to maximize uptime

potent pivot
#

yeh sure

outer sky
#

I'd never do that in pvp

#

because its so unreliable

#

I mean, thus just happened like 3 hours ago to me

potent pivot
#

what if those times it "doesn't work" are just times you would've died anyway HMM

#

it doesn't make you fully immune from dmg

#

in that pic it proc'd

#

and you took more dmg n died

outer sky
#

look at the frostfire damage

#

before and after cheat procd

#

I didnt get the wall

potent pivot

the infusion?

outer sky
#

its not working properly

#

or even icicle

#

it hit harder after cheat than before

potent pivot
#

yeah because it crit

#

but yeah no wall

outer sky
#

Its supposed to give me an 85% wall

#

I've brought this up here dozens of times with screenshots for proof and people still don't believe me for some reason

potent pivot
#

sure but like

outer sky
#

idk why everyone is so opposed to our talents working properly

potent pivot
#

who

#

tf

#

is opposed to it

#

?

#

everyone just still thinks it's good

#

not that it should stay this way

outer sky
#

it def needs to be fixed

potent pivot
#

would be fuckin amazing if they fixed it

#

but even it being a little unreliable, it's good

#

have you bug reported it

#

i'm sure that shit has been reported a thousand times by now

outer sky
#

a little

steel scarab
#

That sort of perspective just breeds complacency though. Just because a talent is "the best option we have" isn't a reason we should just "accept that it doesn't do what it says it does"

#

It is pretty wild to me how hard it is to talk to an actual human that works on this game. Twenty years ago when you reported a bug, you would get a personalized whisper song-and-dance RP production of someone directly communicating with you. Now, you get, "thanks for your bug report! You will not get a response to this message."

I think the health of this game would vastly increase if Blizzard put more money into their GM and support staff.

potent pivot
#

no one is saying that

steel scarab
#

I know, I think it's just a bit of an implication when people say things like, "this talent doesn't work as it should" and the response is "true, but it's still good"

#

We don't care that it's still good, and saying it's still good minimizes the complaint

potent pivot
#

no, it doesn't

#

i dislike it just the same as everyone else, but what does typing complaints in here do?

#

does nothing for the fact of the matter to move forward, does it?

jolly sierra
steel scarab
#

Devs don't read this at all? 😦

potent pivot
#

i highly doubt it

steel scarab
#

Also, even if they don't, isn't this a place for rogues to publicly commiserate?

#

Lol

potent pivot
#

i know some devs have talked in class discs in the past, and maybe even continue to skim over them from time to time

steel scarab
#

Like, I can't complain my woes about the rogue class to my coworkers or my fiance. Where else do I talk about it?

jolly sierra
#

we are outcasts, we just adapt

#

dont complain

potent pivot
#

but those devs that were active in the class discs were class designers, not sure they have anything to do with tuning or bug fixing

jolly sierra
#

complaining here is pointless

#

and feels annoying at long road

potent pivot
steel scarab
#

I'll say this. For me it's therapeutic. Many times I've died with Cheat Death active to hit numbers that didn't make sense to me, but I always just told myself, guess I'm wrong. Starlink giving some degree of numeric proof does make my previous feelings about CD feel more validated

potent pivot
#

making conversation and voicing your opinions etc is fine

steel scarab
#

So seeing other people mentioning things (like complaints) helps validate my own thoughts and feelings about the class

#

I might have legitimately quit the game trying to pvp at the end of the season with how bad it felt. And you guys assured me it's prepatch or whatever and life totals would change and it's not going to be "just like this" in TWW

#

This was post kidney nerf

#

So I think in many cases, complaining leads to reassurance, which helps

jolly sierra
#

for me tbh feels very tiresome reading someone constantly complaining and i recall you the most in chats for just doing that instead saying something useful or just normal

steel scarab
#

I just stopped queueing for pvp lol

jolly sierra
#

and im sure im not the only one

steel scarab
#

Panda, complaining to you early on led to me gaining insight and understanding about how our class worked. You shed a lot of light on it for me

#

Had I never complained to you, I would never have hit 2400

jolly sierra
#

xd

steel scarab
#

It's just objective fact

jolly sierra
#

i just say

#

u need to change the mindset

#

complain less
find more solutions

#

is just

#

not healthy at all

outer sky
#

i mean there's no player based solution to faulty coding

jolly sierra
#

for example in the bottom of my heart i hate precog mechanic and wish to have it removed and buried in hell but i can't have everything in my hands just for wishing it

potent pivot
#

we could all bug report it daily

steel scarab
#

I mean, obviously I tried everything I knew to win games. Eventually you only know so much. Understand that I took a 10 year break from this game. There was a lot that changed and that I didn't know or understand, and the game does a HORRIBLE job of giving us information about how things work

jolly sierra
#

so i just gouge that exploiters for make them waste time casting and baiting

spring bough
#

You know what would be cool is if we could finally double offensive poison once again

#

For outlaw that is lol

steel scarab
#

That would open up lots of more creative options

#

Imagine DTB with 0 utility and 4 damage poisons lol

steel scarab
#

It might actually become decent in pvp

potent pivot
#

the issue with DTB is the -30% proc rate

#

so you gain Deadly/Amp and Numbing, but you proc Wound and Crippling less

marble crag
#

Im so pissed off. Yesterday i won all the blitz games almost. Today i have lost all. Wtf. No matter if i was top damage or botton

#

so frustrating

#

The last one we lost 1497 points to 1500

#

-.-

potent pivot
#

and Deadly does pretty bad dmg wise

#

so unless Envenom does actual dmg, i doubt we use DTB ever again

marble crag

I needed to vent sorry guys

i dont know what happened in blitz but as soon as i hit 1700 i got all bad teams and been pushed back to 1650

#

So uhm, is subterfuge canceling vanish a well-known bug or nah?

#

I just spent an hour testing it with a friend and confirmed it

#

When I press vanish during my subterfuge window, it breaks stealth immediatly after the 1.5sec guaranteed by vanish

potent pivot
#

you mean like

#

out of combat, if you vanish during subterfuge, the stealth will break?

lusty lion
#

in combat

potent pivot

yep that's definitely happening

#

well in combat you wouldn't stay stealthed anyway

you're only guaranteed 1.5s stealth from vanish

so if you have dots or get hit

wel obviously

Yea

No without dots and everything
