#

and the stats dont stack if you run 2

#

so I predict assa and sub will run 1 of those and 1 vers embellishment

potent pivot
#

which don't stack

#

the Linings or the Grip

outer sky
#

the grip

#

the linings stack

potent pivot
#

i'm kinda expecting Authority of the Depths to catch a nerf

#

if it doesn't i'd be surprised

chrome schooner
#

I've seen people do crazy healing with authority of air as well

potent pivot
#

Depths is somewhat consistently Outlaw's top damage

outer sky
#

I can't figure out why it's so good for outlaw/WW/Fury but not so good for assa. Like, it's fixed RPPM.

potent pivot
#

it's very rare you see them leave something that strong alone

#

even pve trinkets for example, which use an actual gear slot, get nerfed for doing that much damage

#

and this is just an enchant KEKL

outer sky
#

Do you know why it's power varies by spec?

#

I know it does but I cant come up with a good reason why

#

fixed RPPM should equalize it

potent pivot
#

it's probably based on abilties being casted, not damage instances

#

i can find out for sure

outer sky
#

if you could, please

#

I told y'all it would be insane for outlaw

potent pivot
#

yeah i always figured it would be since you showed me breakdowns from beta

#

it's just too strong imo for them to leave alone

#

just based on the past anyway

outer sky
#

they saw the results on beta and chose to buff it

#

it is kind of odd though

#

maybe itll catch a pvp nerf?

#

the ring from last season

#

bullion ring

#

DH was using

#

got a 50% pvp nerf

#

and that was what like 5% of their damage?

potent pivot
#

most pve stuff gets nerfed in pvp

outer sky
#

Now youve got me questioning whether or not I should buy it >.<

potent pivot
#

they do not want pvpers to feel like they are required to pve

#

personally i would not recommend buying it rn with prices anyway

outer sky
#

well short of acquiring the recipe, this enchant requires no pve

potent pivot
#

even acquiring the recipe doesn't tbh KEKL

#

but still, an enchant doing more than all of your abilities is something i doubt they'll overlook

chrome schooner
#

We have free weapons in 3 resets

#

Just wait and buy enchants then

#

Nothing serious happens the first 2 weeks

outer sky
#

do we get to pick the stats on these weapons?

potent pivot
#

yeah from what i've heard we won't be able to buy/craft conq weapons until then anyway

#

but maybe we'll be able to craft 626 and then recraft them week 3

#

if we're sure the enchant would carry over when recrafting

outer sky
#

I dont see why it wouldnt

potent pivot
#

my assumption is it will be the same stats as usual conquest weapon choices

#

they will probably be on the conquest vendor tomorrow

#

and just Red until you get the achievement

outer sky
#

if not will be evntually be able to craft ones with the stats we want?

potent pivot
#

yeah i'm pretty positive of that

#

the thing right now

#

is you don't want to waste conquest on extra weapons

#

like crafting 626 right now is probably fine

#

but

#

you're going to use the weapons from the quest over them

#

you won't want to craft more weapons until you're fully geared most likely

#

the difference of going from Crit weapons to Mastery just does not outweigh the ilvl from more pieces of gear

outer sky
#

yeah from the agi

#

and more importantly

#

the weapon dps

potent pivot
#

yeah

outer sky
#

esp main hand

potent pivot
#

it's sorta unfortunate, but everyone will be in the same boat

#

if we don't get to pick the stats no one else does either

#

people have been trying to buy honor already

#

"buying 7500 honor 25k"

outer sky
#

wait what

#

how

potent pivot
#

they want the recipes from the vendor lmao

outer sky
#

how do you buy and sell honor

potent pivot
#

person with honor goes to vendor, purchases recipe

#

person with recipe sells it to someone for 25k

outer sky
#

how does that get them honor

potent pivot
#

they just say honor

#

because no one is going to randomly know the name of any of the honor gear recipes

#

or know/realize they can even be traded

#

they're not buying the honor to have it

#

it's just like the Vicious Bloodstones

#

you can effectively sell 2500 honor for ~8k or however much they are at the time

outer sky
#

hell yeah I'll sell the shit out of that

potent pivot
#

problem is everyone needs their honor for sockets

#

so not many people are selling any of it

#

9k gold for bloodstones atm

#

so ~160k gold for full sockets

outer sky
#

are sockets timegated at all?

potent pivot
#

nope

#

the only timegate on them

#

is how fast you can earn the honor

#

i'm gonna be real though

#

it's not worth losing your head over grinding them

#

full sockets even in pve is barely a 2% gain last time i checked

outer sky
#

well now that I know theyre sellable

#

I'll just buy them all tomorrow

#

and socket my gear as i craft it

potent pivot
#

only the Vicious Bloodstones are tradable

#

the actual socket Setting that costs 9750 honor are not

outer sky
#

i thought they were 15k honor

#

and how did you say full sockets are 160k then?

potent pivot
#

the Bloodstones are 2500 honor and you need 2 per Setting

#

each Setting is 9750 honor

potent pivot
#

9 Settings cost 87,750 honor

#

18 Bloodstones is 45k honor

outer sky
#

you buy the sockets with bloodstones?

#

not straight honor?

potent pivot
#

so you can spend 160k gold to save yourself from grinding an extra 45k honor

potent pivot
outer sky
#

so the bloodstones are currency? I thought they were just a mat

potent pivot
#

They’re used as a currency to buy the Settings yeah

#

Not sure if they’re used for anything else, maybe for making the pvp gems or something?

#

The precog and 5% DR in stuns gems

outer sky
#

oh I see now

summer ermine
#

anyone having problem ocasionaly going out stealth?

potent pivot

vague latch
#

um hey i know uh battlegrounds are one thing bum

#

but um

#

how slippery are monks and any advice and you know getting them in arenas

#

really excited for this season got most of the honor gear 😄

#

like i can't stun them sometimes?

#

can they be blinded can i go for their smile etc or just gotta wait

outer sky
# vague latch like i can't stun them sometimes?

the only reason you wont be able to stun a monk is if you kidney into fists of fury because they run a pvp talent called turbo fists that gives them 100% parry chance when they use fists of fury

#

you can still cheap shot them though

vague latch
#

but they got rid of shadow dance ._.

outer sky
#

and gave you an extra vanish

#

with double subterfuge

#

trust me monks are no problemo for us rogues

#

we counter them

#

their big damage this season is spinning crane kick

#

which is AoE

#

so you feint it and it does 40% less damage

#

same with fists of fury

vague latch
#

yeah i just can't seem to solo the mistweaver monk getting focused by the evoker/disc priest

outer sky
#

cloak off karma

#

oh MW monks are tough to kill

#

they can restoral while stunned

#

port while stunned

#

twice

vague latch
#

yeah like so slippery

#

i think them and the healer evokers are a little overtuned tbh

#

but it might just be ppl not having honor gear

outer sky
#

pres evoker is overtuned

#

MW monk isnt

#

theyre just not a great kill target

#

thing about MW monk is

#

they have 2 "oh shit" buttons

#

but once those are out of the way they struggle with throughput

vague latch
#

i kinda wanna try the wowhead aoe cleave build with kingsbane instead of arterial precision for bgs

#

but yeah thanks, you know just to force that oh shit button but also keep sudden demise for the random picks on ppl and stuff

potent pivot
vague latch
potent pivot
#

same build that's pinned here iirc

outer sky
#

If affi keeps dodging nerfs, aff/assa will be insane this season

potent pivot
#

IC and AP are too good in aoe

potent pivot
# outer sky

let's be real here, aff/anything will be insane this season lmaoo

vague latch
#

yeah losing sbs, not sure if ic silences the nearby enemies though

potent pivot
#

SP is also looking lowkey op

vague latch
#

but you know 3 healers, gotta force some buttons

potent pivot
#

and the silence yes

outer sky
#

The ST build shown on that icy veins link looks scuffed af

#

Taking numbing poison?

#

and no sudden demise

#

tf

potent pivot
#

it's a very literal ST build

vague latch
#

i tried both builds all day, they both work

#

2 shivs + ap is probably good in rbg

outer sky
#

TTK over amp poison though?

#

I'd drop numbing

#

and TTK

#

take amp instead

potent pivot
outer sky
#

theres just no reason to take it if you take amp

potent pivot
#

you don't drop any power for it

outer sky
#

so putting it anywhere else is better

potent pivot
#

it's numbing/crippling

#

amp/wound

outer sky
#

oh youre right myb

potent pivot
#

dropping ttk for amp is probably fine depends though

outer sky
#

also it takes follow the blood over momentum

#

for ST

amp is it's own poison, if you don't run dtb for some reason

they're mean as heck in bgs lol

potent pivot

i'm getting metaphorically kicked by randos hahaha

candid tide
chrome schooner
#

You're being confused

#

Of course you play Numbing/Atrophic with DTB

#

As for Amp

#

It looks maybe good on paper

crimson torrent
#

how do u get a bounty on u ?

chrome schooner
#

But in practise vs good players

#

It stacks either get dispelled or just fall off when you are CC'ed

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

So you never have the value out of it that you should

#

And it ends up being way worse than having a permanent MS + Deadly poke dmg

stoic spruce
#

You try outlaw any Shade?

crimson torrent
#

and then u need to kill another 10

#

to get the title ?

chrome schooner
#

I will play all 3 eventually this season though I think

potent pivot
chrome schooner
#

S1s are pretty fun to play

outer sky
#

outlaw is already very competitive but with depths enchant itll be completely cracked

#

Guys I havent been able to do the brawl all week

#

has anyone been able to queue it?

potent pivot
#

nope

stoic spruce
#

Nice

#

Love the pfp btw Shade

#

Autocorrect keeps changing Shadenox to Shade

Nope. Tells me group can't join or something like that.

outer sky
#

@potent pivot will we still get a free piece of gear from 1600 rating?

copper pivot
#

It's actually even "Worse".
Because even the threat part only lasts the 6 seconds.
Which is not that big of a deal... except... if you run a duo in world content with warmode on.

#

Hey, new rogue here, wondering if there's a real distinguished specialization that is ideal for PvP, compared to the other two

#

Couldn't find a definite answer in the pinned messages and websites

plucky escarp
#

All 3 specs are good and viable. I think the general consensus is play what you’re into and you can make it work

split turtle

Is slice and dice used in arena by assa? I've watched a few videos and it doesnt seem to be used all that much if ever by some.

just yeah, wow pvp has poor literacy rates

#

they could use community resources

vocal surge
#

Wut u mean?

halcyon timber
#

People have ceased to read and engage with their mind over the years and spark some cognitive activity regardless.

#

“I dunno whats going on , yeah i skipped the quest but i want to complain anyway although it was my choice to throw a toddler tantrum”

vague latch
#

they get pvp gear eventually but

#

yeah

halcyon timber
#

All gear is scaled to up to 600

#

And its a random bg

vague latch
#

anyone who gets pvp gear is still 26 ilevels up

#

can't that be averaged

halcyon timber
#

They do that in rated then that’s a big deal

vague latch

skill based matchmaking and all that

halcyon timber

Definitely up to people to read on their own

#

Their responsibility for sure

vague latch

yeah i mean it's okay, just i want more literacy for pvp matchups and stuff

#

i can't find rogue vs mw monk for example right, i had to ask

Hey guys i just came back to WoW. Last time i played was during Shadowlands. I used to be able to download these amazing TMW profiles that had a countdown for rupture garrote and such and i can't find any. I do see some more Weakauras profile and i imported some but its all messed up with icons going over each other and i just can't get it right. i was wondering if any sin rogue here has a nice profile they could share with me. i've been struggling for 6-7 hours atleast ( PvP SIN Rogue )

Im probably gonna rush 2 set but mainly for sub

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

I'm rushing it for the mog

spring bough
#

I’m going helm chest or legs and then doing whatever of those two I didn’t get from 1600 lol

potent pivot
#

I’m so torn between leveling another character or farming honor tonight

spring bough
#

Prob getting shoulders too

potent pivot
#

I need to level my orc rogue

#

But I’m not honor capped

spring bough
#

1575 right there between helm and shoulders and we get 1600 🔥

potent pivot
#

I swear BG queues are fucked

stoic spruce
#

Upgraded my CPU but forgot to update the BIOS

potent pivot
#

Everyone decent is farming skirms or something

spring bough
#

5 min ques tomorrow cant wait

#

Maybe not even that if everyone playing lol

potent pivot
#

It’s going to be crazy I’m sure

#

This 3 weeks preseason

#

Hype for tomorrow is wild

stoic spruce
#

I get off Wednesday morning but I have a class to teach that evening. Won't get to play until Wed night.

potent pivot
#

Well you can’t really fall behind

stoic spruce
#

Naw

#

But I can fall behind on fun

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

How does one pvp on newbs without pvping on newbs

potent pivot
#

Apparently Unbound Spoils spawn every 3 hours

#

Not 6

#

Nahj randomly found one at 8pm EST

#

@outer sky

outer sky
#

Ah nice

potent pivot
#

Not sure if it’s guaranteed every 3 or not

#

But definitely saw it lol

surreal barn
#

just wanted to skin this worm >.>

Average sub rogue interaction btw

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.

stoic spruce
#

When bro calls me to ask me to hop on my main to kill the guy that's ganking him while he's leveling

hard musk
#

what pvp spec is best

stoic spruce
#

Assa

#

But they're all really good

hard musk
#

do they go wound poision?

halcyon timber
#

Only the claw is law

potent pivot
#

second person i've seen say that

potent pivot
#

outlaw and sub are better at very high levels, but it's not worth worrying about especially if you're new

hard musk
#

i like all 3 i have no preference

#

im just doing it for pve shit so i just want the one thatll make me win lol

potent pivot
hard musk
#

probably rbgs i think for cap then if theres a quest that awards the little crafted badges ill do that too

potent pivot
#

If you’re decent mechanically sub is very good for rgb

#

If you’re really comfortable with your CC capabilities

hard musk
#

with nimble?

potent pivot
#

Deathstalker

hard musk
#

oh

#

ya im not really good with all the cc shit but i can slam pve rotation pretty hard

potent pivot
#

Rogue doesn’t really team fight in rgb

jolly sierra
#

assa is good for TF with mass silencing

#

from IC

#

and cleave dmg

stoic spruce
topaz bobcat
#

now u know

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

We'll see

#

It's all just w/e rn anyway

jolly sierra
#

we were not talking about 3s mainly xd

potent pivot
#

Agreed

jolly sierra
#

was more general in concept

potent pivot
jolly sierra
topaz bobcat
#

outclaw best fo shuffle?

jolly sierra
#

depends from the map

potent pivot
#

Assa is great for the orb map

#

Sub is better for base objectives

jolly sierra
#

and for WSG and the other flag map

potent pivot
#

I think that’s debatable

#

But it isn’t bad sure

jolly sierra
#

there is a reason ppl rotated between sub and assa in RBGs

#

with they joining at last

#

if was gilneas or arathi was 100% sub

potent pivot
#

But could be yeah

jolly sierra
#

well shuffle is the most played bracket

potent pivot
#

I really don’t think any of this matters

#

For 99% of people

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

Lool that’s fucked up

jolly sierra
#

wouldnt say 99% of ppl tbh

#

tryharder rosters will force u

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

to switch

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

People just try to follow the meta

#

When they don’t need to

#

It’s pointless

jolly sierra
#

ppl will ask for meta stuff sure

#

but if they sees u are not in the right spec

#

there will be a good chance

potent pivot
#

Then don’t play with them

jolly sierra
#

u will be forced

#

to switch

jolly sierra
hard musk
#

feels so weird opening with ambush tbh

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

the funniest shit

#

is they are looking for a rog now

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

i wasnt called, so im going just SS

#

and blitz

#

ill just do my official job in that guild, nothing else

hard musk
jolly sierra
potent pivot
hard musk
#

ya just mean in pve its like pretty bad so shocked to see it makes sense hto

potent pivot
#

In pvp it gives you access to cheap shot and sap so it’s kind of a must have in all situations

hard musk
#

what do you guys thing the quickest honor is?

potent pivot
#

if not, BGs or Epic BGs

potent pivot
#

for +15% honor gains

hard musk
#

oh true

#

ty

waxen meteor
#

Damn both sin/sub are fun now

#

probly will play both equally

potent pivot
#

Rogue balance is pretty on point so far

#

Not perfect, but not much to complain about

plucky escarp
#

I’m confused on crafted gear. Will we get conquest level crafted gear starting tomorrow? Outside of converting to tier, why would opt for the conquest pieces over crafted?

limber copper
#

Is crit/master the go to secondary for pvp?

jolly sierra
#

versa is always the priority for secondary

potent pivot

potent pivot
#

you're not really giving any context as to which spec you're asking about

#

but those are the stat prios

potent pivot
#

but for the most part we will be crafting our gear yes

#

the only reason to get conquest gear over crafted gear

#

is because conquest gear has heavier Vers weighting

#

where crafted gear has very equal stat weights, for example: "500 mastery, 500 veres"

plucky escarp
#

Bless you, sir trickz

#

Weighting makes sense

potent pivot
#

there's also going to be engi items we can get crafted that have 1 stat only

#

like goggles with only huge vers for example

plucky escarp
#

Ah yeah I remember doing that in df

potent pivot
#

i'm going to continute updating the gear faq

#

as we figure things out

plucky escarp
#

I read on icyveins that Artful Mastery was the weapon enchant to go for

#

Or I think I did (for sub at least)

#

Or artistry or some shit. I don’t remember the exact name

potent pivot
#

i believe Shade already pushed an update for those enchants, but waiting on IV to commit them

#

we talked about it yesterday

#

we should be using Radiant Power

#

like i listed in the faq

plucky escarp
#

Word

#

Yeah I made a shit ton of gold on professions so I might be blowing it on some enchants

#

Made like 800k in the last few weeks just gathering and selling bloodstones while I lived a complete life of degeneracy

potent pivot
#

lmao

plucky escarp
#

Until this time I’ve never had more than like 50k gold

potent pivot
#

i've made about 700k just from passively playing the game

dull bridge
#

@potent pivot i think you were in the chat when nahj said he was going to craft a dagger first week, what do you think about that

potent pivot
#

i really want to learn how to do profs soon, just been swamped with everything else

potent pivot
#

i also don't think it's the best idea for most people

#

you're effectively wasting 875 of your early conquest

#

IF you can even do it

#

i think bloody token dagger is a way better idea

halcyon timber
#

Fuck that

potent pivot
dull bridge
#

thats a good point - but also if you want the wep embellishment youre going to craft it eventually

potent pivot
#

he said it might be an option basically

dull bridge
#

sure

potent pivot
#

if you buy a weapon early you're only getting that power spike for 2 weeks

halcyon timber
#

Its cool they are trying to keep an “even field” for data collection

potent pivot
#

and once week 3 rolls around you will be behind an entire main piece of gear

#

that's like being behind 1 chest/legs/helm

halcyon timber
#

No knee jerk nerfs for anyone hopefully

potent pivot
#

perma

#

until we are fully geared

#

he also said he will most likely be doing shoulders/chest or something else first

#

to rush 2p tier set for sub

somber plank
#

Hey so for that weps quest, is it just to get 2500 conq at any stage over the season?

potent pivot
#

once you've earned that much conquest you complete the quest

somber plank
#

Okay nice, I was worried it was within a certain time frame sorta thing

halcyon timber
#

And 1600 for one piece and catalyst charge

somber plank
#

and I'm away for week 2 and half of week 3 lol

somber plank
#

lovely

potent pivot
#

you'll be a little behind everyone else

#

but it's always been that way

somber plank
#

yeah it is what it is

loud ember
#

Im so upset I have plans all day and night during reset

#

Fingers crossed I get to join up in queue with all the other dads and get an easier time of the climb

indigo hill
#

Playing eu or us?

loud ember
#

eu

indigo hill
#

Same. I'm one of those dads, so we might run into each other.

loud ember
#

please let me win

potent pivot
loud ember
#

I'm the one going anywhere

potent pivot
#

There’s not much reason to grind right now

loud ember
#

can't wait to be sitting as a fully grown man in any company or place and go "IF I DONT GET TO PLAY MY VIDEO GAME IM GOING TO KILL MYSELF"

potent pivot
#

You just earn your conquest cap and get some wpvp gear

loud ember
#

its personal reasons

#

I have a bet with a close friend of mine about who gets 2.1k first

potent pivot
#

I see

loud ember
#

personally im hoping to get my first glad ever this season, I ended last season 150 rating away from 2400

#

I dont know if its feasable

#

But you gotta make your own goals

potent pivot
#

Yeah, start small

#

2400 first

#

Then set your sights on glad afterward

#

Getting all the wins above 2400 is the hardest part

loud ember
#

tfw your personal goals are now outside of the realm of boosting services

#

so you gotta make your own luck

potent pivot
#

Yeah no one does legitimate boosting for that

#

It’s all ToS

loud ember
#

I just wanna try once in my wow career to have a glad mount

#

And I'm not gonna be one of those guys that bitch about the reward system being fucked because i cant personally get gladiator

#

(the system is fucked but still)

potent pivot
#

when i first came back to the game i really wanted to get CE

loud ember
#

i get that

potent pivot
#

got that done and got pretty burnt out on pve

loud ember
#

I'm living with a bit of imposter syndrome about the whole thing

#

So I have no idea if I've set myself an even remotely achievable goal

#

I quit in slands, didn't play for all of DF. Came back at the middle of DF season 4, got fully geared, hit the queues and got my first ever 1800 rating, first ever 2100 rating and came within 150 rating of 2400

potent pivot
#

well participation is going to have inflation pretty high this season

loud ember
#

now I'm wondering if the game was rigged and I'm actually shit

potent pivot
#

so kinda the best season to try

loud ember
#

i do feel i'm getting flashes of not being shit

#

so im a bit hopeful

#

talking about that hivemind tier game knowledge overview about what to do if XYZ does ABC

#

"healer trinkets sap, idiot, blind opening, vanish, resap, cheap, gouge, bomb"

#

but again i have no frame of reference

#

i dont know if that means i'm getting good or thats just baseline behavior

potent pivot
#

watching others can help

#

plenty of streamers anywhere from low glad range and up to r1/awc competitors

loud ember
#

i dont know if i'm clowning on myself but I have been watching a lot of Pikaboo

#

idk if he's gonna come back to that style but he had a period in DF where he was actually all about explaining what was going on and what to do in what situation

potent pivot
#

yeah not sure i'd watch him if you're trying to learn

#

he's an insane player but mostly plays viewer 2s and other classes these days

loud ember
#

yeah thats what im getting too

#

got any advice on who to watch for more current rogue gameplay?

potent pivot
#

uhhh

#

kalvish

#

palumor is good but he's kinda taking a step back from being super competitive i think?

loud ember
#

aight

potent pivot
#

whaazz

loud ember
#

i really wanna do a gameplay review at some point

#

i really feel like thats a good way of learning

#

but yeah who tf do i send it to

potent pivot
#

there's a lot of people who do coaching/vod review

#

if you'd like you can DM me a vod and i can look at it when i have time

loud ember
#

But I'd want to get some rating and have a chance of getting a game I'm actually struggling

potent pivot
#

yeah i mean in a few weeks or whenever you find yourself having issues

peak jolt
#

Do we still want slow OH for the mastery on subtlety? Or is dagger OH better these days?

orchid plinth
#

I don't think it really matters I've seen both. I'm playing the mace with Mastery right now. Dagger OH is easier to mog kekdog

peak jolt
peak jolt
#

shadow tech, right?

potent pivot
#

ever since shadow techniques was changed

#

and with Improved ShTech

#

it matters a good bit

orchid plinth
#

Is this game like League? Pros playing really shitty builds.

potent pivot
#

yes

orchid plinth
#

Pretty sure Whaazz was playing Mace OH

#

Hahaha gotcha

potent pivot
#

like i'm not trying to discredit any of them or anything

orchid plinth
#

They spend time getting good instead of obsessing over tier lists and 0.1% DPS gains from gear Surebud

potent pivot
#

but a lot of r1s just copy what others are doing, the same as we do

loud ember
#

what pvp talents should i be running as ass in 3s against 2 wizards

#

like, rn im running tricks of the trade

#

but is there an alternative

potent pivot
loud ember
#

seems weird thats the only option

#

the other two are hemo and bomb btw

potent pivot
#

yeah you practically always use hemo/bomb

loud ember
#

so when are we thinking rogue gets a rework

potent pivot
#

not soon enough

grave basin
#

Not anytime soon

#

Look at .05 patch notes to see who's getting attention (again)

potent pivot
#

Paladins stealing all the dev time again

grave basin
#

Rets won't be happy till they get every DR in the game

potent pivot
#

They’re a ranged melee with every type of defensive in the game

#

I feel bad for people who play enh/surv

#

Their specs are so bad they’ve almost never felt they are functioning properly

formal crystal
#

we got any outlaw pew pew utility tree?

indigo hill
#

Outlaw, ww and sv are what I've played the most. Which are also the least played.

potent pivot
#

There’s a talent tree in the pins

wet crown
#

Not a rogue video, but wondering if anyone can identify what he used here so I can abuse it on rogue.

formal crystal
#

i just like running and gunning etc xd

grave basin
#

SV is good though

#

Even though it (was) neglected hard in DF

#

Tfw their tier bonus in DF S4 was a DPS loss and they refused to increase it to the appropriate power level

haughty wind
#

im oulaw in pvp, simming suggests i do crit vers. what weapons should i run, i already have the haste vers axe thats all

loud ember
loud ember
#

Maybe finally kill outlaw and give us a ranged DPS spec?

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.

haughty wind
#

oh okay perfect thank you

potent pivot
#

You want 10-15% haste from gear

#

Then all crit/vers

haughty wind
#

yep perfect

#

you cant double up weapons can you

potent pivot
#

You can

haughty wind
#

so double axe would be good im guessing

potent pivot
#

For now yeah

haughty wind
#

i read theres a quest by week 3

#

or something for free wep

potent pivot
#

Later on we can get all our gear crafted for conquest, for perfect stats

#

Yeah

haughty wind
#

thanks for that

potent pivot
#

There’s a gear faq

#

I’ll update it with BiS once we figure out what BiS is

haughty wind
#

legend thanks

summer breach
#

hyped and ready for new ssn PiratePoggers

formal crystal
#

what is it ur using

#

to make them blue and red

summer breach
#

the weapon enchants?

formal crystal
#

Yessir

summer breach
#

just older pvp illusions transmogged

formal crystal
#

yk which one it is? :D

summer breach
#

red = glorious tyranny, blue = primal victory, green = demonic tyranny

#

purple idk name some trash bfa enchant 😄

formal crystal
#

tyvm :D

potent pivot
#

The purple is from bfa pvp

potent pivot
summer breach
#

dreadflame

formal crystal
#

ahhhh :(

summer breach
#

cant wait for the Bloodfang rework

#

with dble Red enchant 😍

potent pivot
#

Those specific ones were pvp rewards for specific seasons

formal crystal
potent pivot
#

But there’s like 20+ illusions u can still get

formal crystal
#

i rly wanna get some nice transmogs but idk i have googled and looked around everywhere and i cant find something i like

summer breach
formal crystal
#

but when i just randomly see people in game or here u guys look amazing

summer breach
#

look at this! so sick lol

formal crystal
#

y that looks good

summer breach
#

I really like WoD set too

summer breach
potent pivot
#

I don’t like a lot of sets but to make your own transmog set you need different pieces from different sets

#

So just going out and farming a bunch and eventually you can make your own style

summer breach
#

from all set that are still available for rogue the older sets are better in my eyes

candid tide
#

why are streamers are not reallydoing solo q yet

summer breach
#

like Ulduar / S9 etc

candid tide
#

they all in dungeons and bg lol

summer breach
#

Ssn starts tomorrow

candid tide
#

thought today

potent pivot
#

It’s not time yet lol

#

Still like 10 hours away

candid tide
#

swear i saw kalvish doing a solo q

formal crystal
potent pivot
candid tide
#

must be wrong

formal crystal
#

but i dont even know where to begin xd i do a bit here and there

candid tide
#

ah i see

potent pivot
#

He queued with 5 friends

#

For an unrated solo q premade

candid tide
#

gotcha

potent pivot
formal crystal
#

there is!

potent pivot
#

Usually I find cool shoulders/helm I like and try to make a set around them

#

Other than that I use full sets kekdog

formal crystal
#

heh

potent pivot
#

You can scroll back literal years

#

There’s an unlimited amount of cool combinations shown off in there

mystic shoal
#

What embellishments we craftin tomorrow

potent pivot
#

not 100% sure yet

#

but the likely choices are listed there

mystic shoal
#

well shit

mystic shoal
#

I guess it just depends on if you wanna be more defensive or offensive

mystic shoal
#

i mean its vers vs highest secondary stat no?

potent pivot
#

vers=more dmg

mystic shoal
#

unless your highest secondary stat is vers then gg i think

#

yeah true

potent pivot
#

for assa/sub mastery will be your highest

mystic shoal
#

im just wondering that versus like, mastery for sin or smth

potent pivot
#

for outlaw crit will likely be your highest

potent pivot
#

there's dawnthread and duskthread linings, crit or vers

#

you can only use 1 blessed weapon grip

#

so you use 1 grip, 1 vers lining

mystic shoal
#

i mean the mastery you'd get from weapon grip but ah

#

you use both

#

okay

potent pivot
#

ye

#

and this is just going off how things were on beta/context clues really

#

something else might end up being better

summer breach
#

my guess 2x Vers Embelishment

potent pivot
#

but if you just use honor level embellishments you don't lose anything

summer breach
#

the bloodstone with 5% dmg red while cced

potent pivot
#

i just wouldn't craft any embellishments on conquest level crafted gear yet

potent pivot
#

the grip is pretty good

summer breach
#

maybe yeah dont think its tested enough how good it really is

#

since u can simply craft a 639 dagger with the grip it could be sick

potent pivot
#

crafting a weapon is kind of a waste

summer breach
#

but in Season 1 u gonna have super super low versa so Its unclear yet

#

well if u want the grip u need a weapon or not?

potent pivot
#

ye but u can prolly craft honor level wep

#

we get free weapons week 3

summer breach
#

Ye but if grip is bis

potent pivot
#

if you buy them now you'll be behind in gear week 3

summer breach
#

u cant use them anw

wintry summit
#

Chest dropped item that should be available when season starts?

potent pivot
summer breach
#

Its the spoil chest

#

1per week/per character

wintry summit
#

oh

summer breach
#

I only got 1 so far

potent pivot
summer breach
#

what really ? 😄

potent pivot
#

yes

summer breach
#

I looted like 100

potent pivot
#

low drop rate

summer breach
#

more than 100

potent pivot
#

it's like 1% drop chance

summer breach
#

so im already bad luck haha

potent pivot
#

also

#

for rn we could use 2 linings

#

until later

summer breach
#

Yes

#

thats what I will do

potent pivot
#

crafting a wep will put u behind by a decent chunk week 3

summer breach
#

untill grip is confirmed to be better
