and tuning

fallen scaffold
#

yee

loud ember
#

so you're gonna be able to craft conq gear?

#

am i tracking?

stoic spruce
#

are upi?

fallen scaffold
#

we just aint gunna know what embelishments are gunna be bis and what slots

#

u fuck up and u put yourself behind weeks

outer sky
#

we should have a pretty good idea

#

itll either be the vers enchants or the weapon enchants

#

for basically everyone

#

i mean embellishments

loud ember
#

im just saying

#

what do I craft with the spark

outer sky
#

nothing right now

potent pivot
#

he means later

#

he's asking if he can craft pvp gear at all

#

the answer is yes u can

#

you're going to need

#

embellishment pvp gear

loud ember
#

thanks hoss

outer sky
#

there needs to be a weakaura that tells you what took you out of stealth

#

I feel like that wouldnt be too hard to make

potent pivot
#

idk if that's even possible

#

the stuff that breaks stealth isn't showing a buff or debuff usually

#

next time it happens check your combat log

#

see if anything is in there

fiery turret
#

Is Assass + SP in 2v2's viable ya'll think?

proven kayak
#

assa is good with healers only

#

it can work with sp but sub is always better with dobule dps

#

as assa u rely on constant pressure to achieve this you need to be alive

outer sky
#

ive seen weakauras so some crazy shit

potent pivot
#

if the things that are breaking stealth aren't already visible to you, i can pretty much guarantee you weakauras can't

#

if it isn't in your combat log, a buff/debuff on your character, etc

#

they've started purposely implementing mechanics that can't have WAs made for them like in raid n shit

#

just like the 3x rupture thing not putting a buff on your character

#

you can't make a WA for that buff i'm pretty sure because there's not a buff that exists, you'd have to make a WA that tells you that you have 3 ruptures up or some shit

outer sky
#

well they need to stop. It's making it harder to track up time and compare things

potent pivot
#

yeah it's dumb

#

i assume they're doing it because of how many people are complaining about buff/debuff bloat and addons yadayada

#

but like... they should know which buffs don't need to be visible and what does

#

that's a big reason i like betterblizzplates/frames

#

can customize and disable every visible buff/debuff in the game

potent pivot
#

ayooo

#

snagged a 150k recipe

spring bough
#

How tf did wow token go from like 350k gold back to 210k gold ina week or two 🤦‍♂️

potent pivot
#

may have been some price manipulation going on if it's possible to buy a token for gold, hold it, then resell it for gold

#

the billionaire goblins prolly buy tons before expansion releases if so

spring bough
#

Manipulation no doubt for it to change like that lol

#

Also just dueled a survival hunter…. They give me problems lol

#

The wildfire bomb and explosive shot is ridiculous

#

Damn I was in pve gear 🤦‍♂️

potent pivot
#

lmao

loud ember
#

whats the word on fatebound vs deathstalker for ass

#

I've been mostly using deathstalker but fatebound is looking pretty popular on murlok.io

vocal surge
#

It isn't 36% stamina lol

#

The text on the talent is very very finnicky

#

It's said 3 different values 5% (PvE), 12%, and 36%

nova viper
#

dude this is a foooookin comp stomp

#

we loose

#

XD

potent pivot
#

everyone is going to be testing different stuff

loud ember
#

deathstalker seems more consistent

potent pivot
#

yeah i think most people will find deathstalker is better

wooden ermine
#

is there a way to obtain pvp set of s1 DF for transmog?

potent pivot
wooden ermine
#

thats what i need thanks for answer

potent pivot
#

no worries

surreal barn
#

To engineering helm or not that is the question 🤔

#

Thoughts?

potent pivot
surreal barn
#

I even feel like engi vers++ might be good

#

For certain scenarios

#

It’s settled. Monday I level one of the night elf rogues

potent pivot
#

i do think for certain things

#

the vers goggles would be good

surreal barn
#

That gif kills me every time

#

Cause my eyebrows do be dat way

potent pivot
#

lmao

candid tide
#

can we have symbols and dance in the same macro?

#

yes we can

stoic spruce
#

bro

#

comp stomp is absolutely cooked rn

candid tide
#

horde winning now?

stoic spruce
#

comp stomp

potent pivot
stoic spruce

both sides win

I had 5 ace procs on a bot and its health BARELY moved

potent pivot
#

i've almost fully honor geared my DK in 1 night

candid tide

idk feels right

potent pivot
#

oh i know why you're having issues popo

stoic spruce

Trickz I stg

candid tide
stoic spruce
#

yes

candid tide
#

LMFAO

#

nahhhh

potent pivot
#

literal programmed NPCs

#

it's the fastest way to grind honor

#

in the game

candid tide
#

all this time i thought.. xD

#

i thought wtf, how are they keep qing after all those losses lol

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

I would rather queue as prot warr

potent pivot
#

assa aoe is broken

stoic spruce
#

something about assa is always broken

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

broken as in not working as intended though

#

i kinda wish my rogue wasn't fully honor geared already

#

because i want to play it more

candid tide
potent pivot
#

like at most i would recommend macroing Badge trinket to Symbols or something of that nature

#

because Symbols is 30sec, Badge is 1min. you'll never use a Badge without Symbols

indigo lava
#

Greetings

potent pivot

ello

indigo lava
#

Can you guide me , which spec is more powerful for the arena solo shuffle?

candid tide
potent pivot
#

there's likely still tuning to come

stoic spruce
#

THEY KEEP BUTT FUCKING MEEEEE

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

they're both really good

#

surprisingly all rogue specs feel strong right now

#

so just play around with them and pick the one you want to play

#

sin and sub use very similar gear

#

so you can play both with optimal stats

#

!stats

lethal roostBOT
#

These are the recommended stat priorities for each spec in PvP. Please keep in mind that having suboptimal stats on some pieces such as tier set pieces is not the end of the world.

Subtlety: Vers>Mastery>Crit>Haste
Assassination: Vers>Mastery>Crit=/=Haste
Outlaw: Vers>Haste=/=Crit>Mastery
You likely want to stack at least 20% Haste on Outlaw for an extra GCD during ADR/Crackshot windows. Take 'em by Surprise gives you 10% during CS windows, so you only need 10-15% from gear.

potent pivot
#

^those are the stat priorites for each spec

#

assa wants crit pieces wherever you can't get mastery pieces

#

if you need builds, there's some in the Pins of this channel

candid tide
#

sub is a pain to bind in a way that flows well for ur fingers

potent pivot
candid tide
#

yeah very true

potent pivot
#

even for me, sub has a lot of binds

#

and i played from TBC->wotlk, and SL->now

candid tide
#

TBC gang

potent pivot
#

i stopped playing for a long ass time

stoic spruce
#

vanilla -> now

indigo lava
#

Can you tell me which addons and macros do i need for pvp?

stoic spruce
#

I have superiority

potent pivot
candid tide
stoic spruce
#

Yarr is a good addon

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

yuppp

candid tide
#

like this

potent pivot
#

ain't no way

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

i gotta have a visual graphic of some sort

marble crag
#

Because there arent enough numbers constantly in your screen, make CPs also a tiny number there in the middle, that will make it easier

chrome schooner
marble crag
#

😂

potent pivot
#

like if we're pressing FoK a lot again this season it's going to feel insanely bad with no crit at all

chrome schooner
#

Not really

#

You won't have 0 crit on your gear but lets take this extreme scenario with 0 crit

#

Then FoK already sits at 25% crit

#

It's quite fine

potent pivot
#

hmm

#

i tried it out a little bit and it felt so bad, maybe my mind just playing tricks on me

chrome schooner
#

You have 10% baseline, Deadly Precision giving +5% to all builders, and then FoK gets another 10% from It's talent

potent pivot
#

i would really rather press mut and ambush more

#

yeah ik

chrome schooner
#

It is also possible to play the hero talent choice node that gives even more FoK crit chance

#

Well I'd like Assa to be stronger with Mutilate Ambush and Envenom but to be honest it just doesn't feel like it's good in PvP

potent pivot
#

yeah another 15%

chrome schooner
#

As in, it isn't enough pressure

potent pivot
#

envenom does seem to be doing half decent dmg

#

nothing crazy

#

but feels a lot better than late DF so far

chrome schooner
#

It feels very underwhelming to me

#

Out of curiosity after getting full honor gear I checked tooltips (since bleeds and poisons have almost exactly the same modifiers now with Arterial)

#

It said Rupture 1.9M Crimson Tempest 1.3M and Envenom 327k

potent pivot
#

my average envenom is around 750k

chrome schooner
#

Of course in a game there are buffs and debuffs and stuff but just seeing this you know you're going to do MUCH more damage bleeding 3 people

potent pivot
#

my max so far is around 1.5m

chrome schooner
#

Rather than try to Envenom people much

#

Yeah your max one with 7 modifiers including your ultimate hero talent proc

potent pivot
#

it's hitting harder than kingsbane's intial hit now

#

yeah

chrome schooner
#

Meanwhile you can have Rupture TIC for 250k

#

And CT too

#

On 3 targets

potent pivot
#

ofc

chrome schooner
#

Yes Kingsbane initial hit is a thing of the past :p

potent pivot
#

i'm not saying you'd envenom instead of bleeding 1 more target or anything

#

just that if you have someone low, it feels better to press than it did before

chrome schooner
#

Yes but that's the issue, that means Envenom is bad because you will almost always have the opportunity to either stun or re bleed

potent pivot
#

thoughts on blindside?

chrome schooner
#

It'd be nice if there was tuning or a still unknown bleed that allowed Envenom to be more worth pressing than Rupture on the 3rd target

#

Mmh well I thought about it yesterday actually

#

I wanted to do a build with Vicious Venom, Blindside and Deathstalker for the +50% ambush damage after triggering a mark

potent pivot
#

meme of a thought ik

chrome schooner
#

And while it might sound fun on paper I think it ends up being bad in practise

potent pivot
#

but it was doing some big damage when i tested last night

#

just on dummies though

chrome schooner
#

Ahaha well, I like Caustic a lot when playing PvE but I don't think it works in PvP

#

You don't have Amp Poison

#
  • Deadly + PB + KB DoT ramp up
#

So it will deal 0 dmg

potent pivot
#

i tried without amp last night

#

lemme see if i can find it rq

chrome schooner
#

To be fair

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

Assa would simply need MfD to be back to having decent ST in PvP

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

ER sorta has the same effect

#

but costs a global

chrome schooner
potent pivot
#

i actually saw some wild Fatebound ER tech last night

chrome schooner
#

PB dmg versus Envenom says it :p

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

I like the idea behind Fatebound ER

potent pivot
#

that's just on the 3 target dummies

chrome schooner
#

But I don't like being forced into CB

chrome schooner
#

They don't take PvP mods and stuff plus they don't move

#

It wouldn't work on players I'm 100% sure

#

I tried in DF s4 for fun

#

It felt horrible

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

But it is only a chance though right

#

Sure 33% more likely

#

But it can fail

#

No ?

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

Not all of them

potent pivot
#

sometimes they're not flagged correctly though

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

Oh yeah ok

#

But what's awkward about this build is that you can't play the tea

#

Or Subt/Vanish but that's even worse

potent pivot
#

yeah some of the testing i saw yesterday took CB and ER

#

no Tea/Vanish

#

using ER for the CB envenoms to make them bigger

#

the part that looked the most annoying was fishing a Tails proc before you start

chrome schooner
#

Also

#

If they didn't nerf Kidney I guess that build would be fine kinda like df s1

#

But now you need 2x Vanish and Subterfuge imo

#

Else you have a stun issue

potent pivot
#

yeah i agree

#

something like that might work in 2s

#

or something

#

but high rated 3s or even shuffle i doubt it

chrome schooner
#

In these brackets I don't see anything except a full bleed build really work with current tuning

#

Almost all specs outperform Assa in ST

potent pivot
#

i'm kinda expecting assa is going to see aoe damage nerfs

chrome schooner
#

Yes but it will be PvE oriented

potent pivot
#

because even after bug fixes, it's insane in m+

chrome schooner
#

So it will likely be Caustic Splatter and maybe CT

potent pivot
#

spatter would be fine

chrome schooner
#

Yes :p

potent pivot
#

hopefully CT stays alright

#

have you seen any assa/affli?

#

it is wild

#

unhealable damage

chrome schooner
#

Well there is no real 3s right now so I haven't seen much of anything but Assa has crazy AoE and now Affli has the ST

#

So thr comp probably kills everytime Haunt Shadowbolt goes off

potent pivot
candid tide
potent pivot
#

it also does look like assa's ST isn't great in pve either

#

so maybe we get more ST buffs on things like mutilate etc

chrome schooner
#

Blizzard has shown that, and that is the issue, they built assa ST around Amp

potent pivot
#

a man can dream

chrome schooner
#

That is the one reason is sucks in PvP

#

Envenom is tuned around this stupid poison

potent pivot
#

yeah

chrome schooner
#

If Envenom dealt 35% more damage and they removed Amp we could play around Envenom in PvP for sure

potent pivot
#

and after nerfs DTB is kinda ehhh in pvp

#

poisons just don't do enough damage either in general

candid tide
#

bruh sometimes shuriken storm with clear the witness plague dmg hits together for 300k if critted

potent pivot
#

like Deadly Poison

#

i don't know if i've ever seen Deadly at this low of a % of our damage

chrome schooner
#

Deadly max was 30k

#

In PvE

potent pivot
#

yeah it's so terrible, i don't understand what the deal is with that

#

in SL Deadly was a decent % of our damage

#

even our melee was a large portion

chrome schooner
#

This makes DTB so undesirable because poisons don't deal damage anyway

#

But I miss having Deadly in PvP

potent pivot
#

same

#

have always liked playing around Hemo more as well

chrome schooner
#

Yes... but over the years a lot of small nerfs have hurt with that

#

Shiv being 30s now, MfD removed etc

#

It is a shame because otherwise with Arterial + Hemi there could be a lot of pressure with Shiv moments

#

But that requires enough GCDs and CPs to hit several Envenoms over the 5s Kidney

#

And that is not possible

potent pivot
#

yeah i don't really understand the direction they're taking their design choices when it comes to pvp

#

it seems they just want to make it "easier" for the average player to get into it, but that has just been hurting the experience for those of us who have already been playing it

wintry summit
#

are you running deathstalker or fatebound on assa?

potent pivot
#

both are decent, but so far Deathstalker is the most reliable

chrome schooner
#

I like DS better

wintry summit
#

yea, I was running fatebound but i feel like its yay or nay situation in terms of damage

#

gonna try DS now

chrome schooner
#

It relies on Envenom and Envenom is not great

#

(Fatebound I mean)

wintry summit
#

true, but then DS adds one more global to opener Notok

chrome schooner
#

It's better yes, but in the end sometimes I don't have the time to use Ambush and the tree is still fine

#

The important talents are the extra nature dmg after Deathmark, the bonus Rupture dmg, the bonus Crimson Tempest dmg, and the Cloak

#

The marked part of the tree, imo, is just the bonus (which is strange since it's supposed to be the core of the tree but well)

potent pivot
#

did you see that they fixed Deathmark's bleed to benefit from Mastery?

#

it still does quite a meaningless amount of damage unfortunately

#

it does around 700k-1m over 16sec

#

Kingsbane is doing 3.5-5m over 14sec

spring bough
#

God damn yall active this morning like 200+ messages since last I looked at 7 😂

spring bough
nova viper
#

SL didn't happen

spring bough
#

That’s pretty cool they added that. Is that for tier mogs?

#

Or just in general

potent pivot
halcyon timber
#

Its solid, works for profession and ah etc

#

Just a base ui update for tww

potent pivot
#

season hasn't started yet so there's really no telling, but some things that will likely be good are arcane/frost mage, maybe DK, warlock, etc

btw can you please change your bio for your profile in this server? that is a filtered word

spring bough
potent pivot
#

it means the bot automatically deletes the word if it is typed in this server because it goes against the rules

tired crypt
#

just saying it wasent a request, change the bio or action will be taken

neat bough
#

👋

tired crypt
#

!ban @vivid pond fine by me have a nice trip

surreal barn
#

I go and visit the real world for 30 minutes

#

I swear

potent pivot
spring bough
#

I got questions but ima just keep to myself lmao

tired crypt
#

just ask away xD

surreal barn
#

At least you all didn’t talk politics

spring bough
#

Nah I’m good I’m too attached to this server lmao

surreal barn
#

Lmfao

spring bough
#

Lmao I already had that bot take my message for the same word describing outlaw damage I’m good 🤦‍♂️

tired crypt
#

think most people have at some point

spring bough
#

Gotta love it 😂

nova viper
#

this is my friend screen

spring bough
#

Sunday is the day of pluderlording pvp

potent pivot
spring bough
#

Damn gonna have to find that addon lol. Ofc blizz wouldn’t do something cool like that

potent pivot
#

i'm pretty sure that it's BetterWardrobe

#

lemme see

spring bough
#

Petition for blizz to hire the guy that does betterwardrobe and betterblizzframes/plates to just integrate it in game

plucky escarp
#

Blizzards business model for features is let a community of amateur developers figure it out for free

spring bough
#

Then just copy it for free

#

And say it’s theirs 😂

plucky escarp
#

I mean, it’s a pretty good idea

potent pivot
plucky escarp
#

And not a good idea lol

potent pivot
#

yeah it's BetterWardrobe

spring bough
#

Yeah def copping that addon

potent pivot
#

i keep it off most of the time

spring bough
#

Ehhhhh nvm then lol

potent pivot
spring bough
#

I turned off skill capped cause blizz always connects/disconnects recently then the skill capped popps up with “can’t connect” window

#

Figured it already setup all my other addons and it’s only doing like a sound for Que pops I can live without

potent pivot
#

it is a very nice addon for when you're mog farming

#

or you're trying to decide what to farm

spring bough
#

Didn’t realize weak auras used that much

#

I might need to cut down on some of mine maybe that will help my frames in big aoe

potent pivot
#

WAs are one of the most taxing things in the game

spring bough
#

That’s the one blizz just needs to buy and integrate

potent pivot
#

i only have 2 WAs running

#

and only like 5 loaded at all

spring bough
#

Damn I got like 8

#

Plus I use hekili that’s prob hella taxing too

potent pivot
#

if you have a really nice PC it probably won't bother you at all anyway

plucky escarp
#

I use weakauras instead of an abilities bar. It has tons of shit in it but I never have any issues with my pc

#

Oh yeah but my pc is really nice too

#

So that probably helps

potent pivot
plucky escarp
#

They just look nice

spring bough
#

I got a 4060 Ti 16gb so I think I’m good lol

potent pivot
#

if you wanted to you could literally move an action bar to the middle of the screen

spring bough
#

But damn some BG games with tons of aoe I can feel it lol

potent pivot
spring bough
#

It’s an intel i7

plucky escarp
#

Yeah I really just like the aesthetic more than anything

potent pivot
#

i7 you should be fine always lol

#

is it a 10k series or above?

spring bough
#

I run max graphics on a 49inch Samsung oled lol

#

Prob should knock the graphics down for aoe in BGs lol

#

It’s a 13700F 2.1ghz

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

you're in heaven over there

spring bough
#

It’s kinda amazing for PvP

#

Can see so many surroundings

plucky escarp
#

I used to use an ultra wide monitor and my biggest gripe was that when I’d stream on disc with buddies the quality looked really bad

#

Because disc didn’t support the aspect ratio

spring bough
#

Yeah I tried sending a clip to Pirate and Zeiss cause I can’t even post 20 seconds in the chat here with the files being too big and they were like 🔍

#

Told me about some 21:9 editing app I’m gonna try lol

plucky escarp
#

Yeah my tip would be to upload to YouTube

#

Or stream to it because that aspect is supported

#

And it will convert it for their pleb, inferior monitors

spring bough
#

Yeah I did. I think I coulda changed the ratio on YouTube but didn’t realize till after the fact

#

I’m gonna try and get some good clips this weekend I have some crazy games lol

spring bough
#

That your rogue weak aura?

potent pivot
#

that's an action bar i just made rq

plucky escarp
#

This is mine

#

It’s a random screenshot from clips from ln

#

But idk. I know where everything is.

#

This is like peak chaos tho lol

spring bough
#

One thing I like about wow is the plethora of ways UIs are setup

plucky escarp
#

I love and don’t love it lol

potent pivot
#

i've definitely seen worse

spring bough
#

I finally moved all my stuff to the bottom of the screen so I can actually see my character lol

potent pivot
#

but the layout itself is kinda wild

#

the party placements

spring bough
#

Idk if I could do those big square boxes

plucky escarp
#

I am a nameplate guy

#

And I have them laid out like this because they are in “rows” like on my mouse

#

So like if I need to step to my dragon I know he is my middle button on my mmo mouse

#

And then I glance at their drs at the bottom but I have their cooldowns amongst mine. So like by my kidney is my priests fear

#

And the shit on the right idk. I don’t love it. I take it away and then I have moments where I am like “man I wish I knew he had a fear” but then I have it and never look at it

spring bough
#

Here’s a weird one. Do yall try to keep the same types of spells from main to alt on similar keybinds? Like all my characters interrupts is on mouse button 4. Aoe stuff on mouse button 5 and so on

plucky escarp
#

Yeah def

spring bough
#

Like fast movement like grapple on F and death advance for DK on F

#

I had it diff for a while for say the pvp trinket and I’d be pressing wrong keybinds on alts

plucky escarp
#

shift W is always a movement thing for me

#

And Q is always an aoe

potent pivot
plucky escarp
#

Yeah that is sick

topaz bobcat
#

are ppl really grinding honor on 20 alts to buy gem slots on main on season start?

#

really??

potent pivot
#

took me like 5 min to set up the bars rq

spring bough
potent pivot
plucky escarp
#

It took me 3 minutes to download a wa package lol

spring bough
#

Wow tokens gonna be BOOMIN

topaz bobcat
spring bough
#

Nah just tokens

#

Then get 210k gold lol

potent pivot
spring bough
#

Then buy the bloody reagent and honor for the last piece

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

just the stone you need

plucky escarp
#

lol oh god that would be tragic

potent pivot
#

you'll still need around 90k honor

spring bough
#

Still need what 9k honor when u get the stones 😂

plucky escarp
#

If I had any gold to steal

spring bough
#

For one socket and need what 9 sockets

potent pivot
plucky escarp
#

I believe it.

potent pivot
#

happened to a guy on stream once

#

in classic

plucky escarp
#

Bro lol damn that would be crazy to watch

#

In classic too. Oof.

topaz bobcat
#

man so many no lifer try hards spending valuable time/life for 0.5% advantage

potent pivot
#

you're playing wow

#

what do you expect

#

honestly

topaz bobcat
#

i think I don't play for 3 days let all the tryhards get 1800+ rating

#

then get matched with other washed out plebs like myself

plucky escarp
#

If you’re not maxing, you’re min-ing

#

I have it on a poster in my office

spring bough
#

Ricky Bobby said if you’re not first you’re last

potent pivot
#

we like max maxing around here

#

if you don't have full sockets day 1 on all your alts are you even playing the game

spring bough
#

Day one of season? Instant 1800 idgaf if I gotta be up till dawn

#

Gotta get that elite mog

plucky escarp
#

take the best and make it bester

spring bough
#

Gotta end up on them leaderboards too 😂

potent pivot
#

oh HOLY SHIT

#

oh nvm

spring bough
#

Is there rated blitz leaderboards this season? Lol

potent pivot
#

fuck

topaz bobcat
potent pivot
#

i think it even gets a .05% title too

spring bough
#

Oh that’s hella dope

plucky escarp
#

Yeah it’s like Strategist or something for 2400

spring bough
#

I might become a blitz fiend in between solo shuffles

#

I just want that Grand Marshall

plucky escarp

I was in the preseason before they took rateds

#

I was doing solo and blitz ques at the same time

potent pivot
#

ok sick

#

i didn't play s4 at all so i didn't q prepatch

spring bough
#

And blitz was always like 5min Que max. 8 min max on game

#

It’s hella nice

plucky escarp
#

I wonder how the high rated rgb community will do in blitz. I feel like it was a niche within a niche of PvP

spring bough
#

Rated community gonna hate it

#

No discord

#

People gonna do whatever they want here n there and get them so heated

#

You gonna have those ones w the spam macro “do this Strat” no one does it and then they melt down in chat

plucky escarp
#

I disabled chat the day ss came out so I am good lol

they will likely try to figure out ways to win trade and shit

TWW is going to be great.

spring bough

Yeah it feels awesome

plucky escarp
#

I don’t see from a PvP perspective how it wouldn’t be better than SL BFA and DF

spring bough
#

I’m holding hope at one point this season some PVE item will be OP in rateds lol

potent pivot
#

DF wasn't that great imo

topaz bobcat
#

I dislikedu might find it strange but BFA my favorite xpac

potent pivot
#

i played way more during SL

topaz bobcat
#

think I'm alone in liking BFA

plucky escarp

I loved SL

spring bough
#

First raid of DF was come in and fly dragons to take out trash mobs and get locked for 10 min…. It was awful lol

potent pivot

i liked SL yeah

plucky escarp

Season 2 SL was the most fun I’ve ever had in a game

what was pvp like in bfa. I stopped playing from wrath - SL

plucky escarp
#

BFA’s biggest criticism are often it was a damp fest

#

And it was still the “pve gear has too much value in arena”

#

Hmm the last part might not be 100% true. I barely played

lime oar
#

crazy to think there were no pvp vendors

proven kayak
#

ok idk if i buy no mastery honor pieces or i take the crafted one with less ilvl

potent pivot

you do not buy the crafted 613 gear

for any reason whatsoever unless you're loaded and gearing a fresh 80

#

what spec are you playing

proven kayak
#

sub

potent pivot
#

you just buy the crit pieces

where you can't get mastery

proven kayak

its that expensive?

tbf i saw someone saying we buy chest or some first week so it make sense

I made a Fatebound build with Vicious Venoms to test it out on the dummy for ST damage and well Envenom hits 900k maximum, + Fate Intertwined for about 300k but in reality you can never be sure there won't be secondary targets to soak the hits

#

But ! Ambush does hit really hard, 550k on crits

potent pivot
#

@proven kayak nvm you're talking about the honor gear and 613 so yeah
but also we buy chest week 1 because we get free daggers week 3

wanton breach

free daggers?

how so?

chrome schooner
# potent pivot that's pretty dope

Mutilate crits up to 200k+ as well at times so it's basically ... a whole build so that my builders are the same as 1 tic of 1 of my DoTs :p

potent pivot
#

feelsbadman

#

do you think we'd play improved ambush

#

if a build like that were being used

topaz bobcat
proven kayak
#

it is what it is im not using moer brain power i just bought honor criticalear

topaz bobcat
#

maybe enchants worth it

chrome schooner
#

In that build I do because with Deal Fate then Ambush crit is 5 CPs

spring bough

But I don't feel like this is something amazing because it'll be low-ish on overall damage

potent pivot

no i wasnt i was talking about crafting

potent pivot
proven kayak

thanks tho

potent pivot
#

np

#

we definitely craft later on

#

because we can get same pvp ilvl crafted gear

topaz bobcat
#

i don't understand the blue post

potent pivot
#

it's not as bad as -13 ilvl

topaz bobcat
#

are we getting weapons week 1 that would otherwise cost 3 weeks of conquest cap or week 3?

potent pivot
#

we're getting free weapons week 3

topaz bobcat
#

so shoulders, chest and legs to buy then?

#

or trinket?

potent pivot
#

probably, maybe dps trinket

topaz bobcat
#

i see, not the health one?

spring bough
#

I’m going bold for 2pc tier day one lol

chrome schooner
#

It's so stupid that Ambush can hit 600k but Envenom with autocrits doesn't even hit a million

topaz bobcat
#

not vault?

spring bough

No day one of season

potent pivot

there is no pvp vault

i like the sub one big burst

potent pivot

they're almost always nerfed by 50% in pvp.

#

sub's hasn't been nerfed in pvp, yet.

#

but it's really not something you need to go insane grinding for.

chrome schooner
#

With Deathstalker

#

I can hit 1M Ambush

potent pivot
#

i haven't hit any even close to that.

chrome schooner
#

You need to have Vicious Venom then when you get a Blindside proc you use Envenom to trigger a mark and get +50% bonus damage to Ambush

#

Then Shiv Ambush

potent pivot
#

ohhh are you Vanishing after consuming Deathstalker's Mark?

chrome schooner
#

You can get higher if you are in the +30% nature dmg window I guess

potent pivot
#

i haven't tried that either.

chrome schooner
#

No I was using Blindside

#

But it's bad

#

It was just to conveniently see the number

#

In practise it's a dead point since you want to cleave with Deathstalker so you don't use Mutilate much I think

potent pivot
#

hmm

chrome schooner
#
  • I put points in lethality to see how high it could go
#

Don't think that's really possible

#

But I think I can get like 1M3 ambush

potent pivot
#

that's a lot of resources for such a small outcome

@spring bough youre having more fun with trickster?

topaz bobcat
#

plz buffs on self healing

#

slice and dice healing and finishing point healing not too big right?

#

the vanish one is also meh but at least saves u from dying if u do it late

#

maybe these get better late xpac when stamina gets higher

#

what was the biggest nerf to self healing since DF?

I remember in earlier xpacs Recuperate rogues would heal like a healer never die

is sub still bis for playing for flags in BGs?

I can consistently get up to 8-10 flawless stacks and that really bumps up the finisher dmg by atleast 20% or so

It’s nice when you have 10 stacks and 12 seconds left

#

And a crack window

vocal surge
#

I can hit 12 fairly often

#

I recommend having a tracker

#

Makes it easier to stack and prioritize your RTB buffs

#

With your Flawless stacks

spring bough
#

I got one on my weak aura

#

Usually when it gets to 10 a stack falls off during the duration and can’t get a blade to proc for 11

#

It also does tracking of unseen blades internal cooldown and when it’s ignoring it and such

oh nice but week 3 of the season does seem a bit late, dunno if I can wait that long (prolly will cause weapons are expensive af)

They want to make it more even footing I guess

So that the racers at the start aren’t smoking people who took time lol

They did for TWW apparently

Oh that will be sick then

I might craft one rn and throw the green pvp ilvl on it lol

You mean with like say a sword

potent pivot
spring bough
#

Realized for pvp crafting

#

We are completely limited to the algari items

So none of those spark items like the belt that gives agility we will not be able to get pvp ilvl on

And then they are ilvl locked so no use in pve this go around lol

It’s gonna take 5 weeks to complete

Was there some new tuning?

spring bough

“Complete the sparks of war quest 5 times” is one of this world pvp quest achieves

proud vortex
#

at least for now

outer sky
# lucid citrus yeah that is crazy like the word finisher on envenom doesnt mean anything

Problem with envenom is that mutilate is so trash. So not only does envenom need to do enough damage to be worth spending the combo points on, it also needs to do enough damage to be worth building up enough combo points for it via FoK which is super slow or via mut which is faster but worse to press than FoK in most situations and extremely energy costly. Right now its rare that envenom is worth the time and energy it takes to get 5+ combo points and the combo points themselves.

tawdry imp

hero talents make it a lot more consistent

topaz bobcat

did they really buff destro?

potent pivot
spring bough
#

so i messed around made two weapon grip wep embelishes

#

this was seething shore. only lasted like 6 minutes but this was the buff uptime

#

was up over 50% of the match

#

"blessed weapon grip" is the spell up 57%

outer sky
#

Nothing for rogues or monks so w/e

potent pivot

fire mage buff

#

frost mage nerfs

#

warr nerf

#

some kinda important stuff there KEKL

#

i didnt notice if the buff stacks but it should?

#

if not these things are worthless cause 185 vers is meh

outer sky
spring bough
#

ohhh i thought it was 185 at 10 stacks lmao

#

then went down from there was like this is low asf

outer sky
#

Fire mage buff is nice though

kindred sky
#

Is thare an updated pvp when I google i get taken to an out of date page (mainly for rotation)

spring bough
#

Yeah was at 3 now it procs and I’m at 10

potent pivot
spring bough
#

Wep grips don’t stack

outer sky
#

I wonder if running 2 increases the proc chance

spring bough
#

3 stacks to 10 should have been 13?

outer sky
spring bough
#

No point in having two lol

outer sky
#

There may be if the proc rate is increased

spring bough
#

I hit the dummy for 5 minutes and it was up 67% of the time so 3min 24 seconds

#

Honestly I might try this concealed chaos module

#

See what the buff uptime is on the wep grip on the OH and this on the MH

tawdry imp
#

fuck me bgs are a waste of time so long as any warlock on the map can just press 1 to take me out of stealth

potent pivot
wintry dew
spring bough
#

2 minutes on the dummy with 1 grip still up for a minute so still around 50% of the time. Gonna see what it does in this bg I just got in

#

Then can see this emergency mine dmg too

kindred sky
spring bough
#

Chaos mine procced once all WSG but I only went below 40% health once lol. 500k to a monk from it it saved my life tbh

#

Blessed wep grip was up 17% of the time, 1 min 38 seconds on this 9min long game

#

So yeah two def inc the proc chance and has it at over 50% uptime

#

Prob either over 80% health verse embellish or two of these would be good for the season

potent pivot
spring bough
#

There’s a shield one too

#

“When damaged at low health unleash straight to shield yourself. Power increases with socketed gems”

#

Maybe won’t be good at season start but could be fully socketed?

#

Guess we gotta wait and find out lol

#

There’s also an embellish that doubles the effects of your neurbian embellishments

#

So that could prob double the wep grip verse

shy nebula
#

are you guys getting randomly out of stealth way too much?

spring bough
# outer sky Nah it caps at 10

Double effects embellish might be it with wep grip. 2.4% verse from the 1,850 rating. The double effects should make it 4.8% verse and 3,700 rating. Gonna test it out in a bit wanna get more explosive bombs off lol

wintry axle
tawdry imp
#

i'm not even sure it's just warlocks

shy nebula
tawdry imp
#

I just recorded the last 5 mins or a battleground I did and I think if I were to go through how many times I was unstealthed, it would be something like 40 times

#

the rogue is going back in the cupboard until that's sorted

shy nebula
#

yeah

tawdry imp
#

40 not being an exaggeration either, it was into stealth, 1 second later, out, in stealth, 2 seconds later, out

#

all while the intro dialogue for that new battleground repeated itself on loop for the duration of the game, was a good experience

#

is the icy veins sub rogue rotation considered correct/good?

potent pivot
#

some of the globals have swapped around

surreal barn
#

Deathstalker talent pulls you too iirc

#

Unless they fixed

tawdry imp
wintry axle
#

are there any tested and good builds for sub using ER?

rain crown
#

@tawdry imp was it normal bg or comp stomp

#

I noticed it way more in comp stomp

tawdry imp
#

normal bg

#

just had to sit at the back and wait the game out

#

hope someone sort of near the front dropped health enough for me to step duel

dark panther
#

does outlaw use dagger in offhand for pvp aswell?

potent pivot
#

rotations are very situational, but in general the things that changed are sepsis->sectech earlier in dance, strike->evis after

potent pivot
dark panther
#

but should?

potent pivot
#

i would not have said it can if it wasn't fine

#

like it hurts nothing to use a dagger OH on outlaw

#

there's no reason not to

dark panther
#

ty

wintry axle
#

do we keep up SND still as sub?

potent pivot
#

yes

#

evis extends SnD

#

so there's no reason not to keep it up

tawdry imp
#

probably a big noob question but what does slice and dice actually do for a class that gets in, does a burst rotation then gets out? isn't snd just for auto attacks?

#

spec*, sub specifically

potent pivot
#

oh boy

worthy crag
#

autoattack is still a significant portion of your damage

dark panther
#

does the honor gear 626 ilvl scaling also apply when you engage in world pvp?

worthy crag
#

not to mention DSM triggers plague dmg on autoattack which makes snd even more important now

potent pivot
#

someone hasn't read all of their talents ;)

wary moss
#

Okay someone better than me just told me an awesome set for fatebound assassin

Open with:
garrot
Deathmark
Rupture

Then start spamming envenom as much as possible

#

Running cold blood and the hero talent for it makes you flip both sides of the coin a lot of times in a row

#

The damage gets insane fast

shy nebula
#

Which capstone are you dropping_

#

without a trace?

#

or DS

wary moss
#

For cold blood?

shy nebula
#

yeah

wary moss
#

The extra talent point one

#

Ds yeah

shy nebula
#

imma give it a try

#

do you have it macroed and just spam CB on cd

#

or do you manually press it

wary moss
#

I'm not even in full honor gear and was hitting the pvp dummy for 860k dps

wary moss
#

I'll find a proper bind for it in a little

shy nebula
#

so you're not running the hero talent that makes your CB empower 2 abilities but only can be used on evenom

#

for a build that focuses on evenom dmg?

potent pivot
wary moss
#

No I'm using the one that makes cold blood only effect envemon

potent pivot
#

btw

wary moss
#

It's more about those coins flips really

potent pivot
#

yeah fuck that noise

tawdry imp
wary moss
#

It's dope

#

I kinda love it

potent pivot
potent pivot
wary moss
#

Why?

potent pivot
# wary moss Why?

because you have to wait to proc tails before sending the CB envenoms

#

that's a big reason

wary moss
#

In your opener you get both sides of the coin for like 6 flips

halcyon timber
#

Fate intertwined is guaranteed 35% extra envenom dmg on crits for them though right?

wary moss
#

Yes

halcyon timber
#

So env gets a 35% amp constantly which is cool

potent pivot
halcyon timber
#

Hm

wary moss
#

You should try it man

#

It's good

potent pivot
#

i have tried it

#

it's not good imo

#

like it's not bad per se

halcyon timber
#

Did on beta just to test for bugs seemed cool for being very aware

potent pivot
#

but it isn't good or better than deathstalker

halcyon timber
#

Has cool moments for sure

#

New tuning dropped while i was in class

wary moss
#

Deathmark makes it so we have crazy burst every 1 minute pretty much

halcyon timber
#

Right on , glad you assassins got some slick use out of it

potent pivot
#

what

#

deathmark is 2min

halcyon timber

Lucky 7 coin probably smacks pretty hard too no?

Just got back to my computer

spring bough
#

Do sin and sub have 25yrds on step or do they get a longer range?

halcyon timber
#

25 unless us subtlety upgrade to 5 more yards

#

Don’t think assassins do but ds does grant 3s off of step in a talent

potent pivot
#

3s off step for every Mark you consume

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

potent pivot
#

so like -3s for every finisher you cast lol

tribal badger
#

deathstalker step node seems way better then fatebounds

#

idk why fatebounds even has a downside

#

it doesnt feel like it needs it

#

its absurd for law but seems very mid for sin

#

i guess u can step kick step back for free

#

but the raw cdr of deathstalker

halcyon timber
#

Prob because of how consistent the profile is

rain crown
#

Pressing ambush as assa feels bad also

potent pivot
#

it's 1 global

rain crown
#

And you can only apply deadly mark out of stealth right?

#

I dislike it a lot

potent pivot

fate does not buff your abilities as much

Ret apocalypse: Reload the new movie coming out in theaters near you

i can pretty much guarantee that with current tuning we will run deathstalker
