oh right
never tried blitz but i assume it'd give you more than 96 rating per win
Up to 90% iirc
yep
Yeah it’s sorta insane for mw
yeah, you're right, i think will just do dailies for now
Dance of the Wind
I’m gonna have to add that to my plates or something
well, i dont think ur really ever supposed to kidney a windwalker anyway due to their fists parry
always resort to cheap
and they cant dodge
lol yeah. Gives you almost 200 per win until you reach 1600-1700
Well you can just strike/stab it so it resets
or at least that was last season ilit might be different now probably
Or something (the 90% dodge I mean)
yeah i dont understand why 2s and 3s placement will always give 96 per win no matter what mmr
its so dumb
their "rodeo" shit is pretty annoying too
fking windwalkers
huh didnt know that thanks
yeah cheap cant be evasioned or parried
Anyone know a if there's a good reason not to craft the neck or is everyone doing boots?
You want main stat
Especially this early
probably because you can get verse mast already with the vendor sourced neck
I think vendor boots dont come with mast vers
Boots also can’t be tier
if u want to craft jewelry do a ring
one slot for vers mast since the vendor one is unique
Do an honor level ring
I did with the blue heraldry. I was just trying to use my last 4
boot is the best slot tbh
Last 4 gladiator heraldry*
Yeah, i saw a lot of people doing that but I kept seeing other people saying it was a bug that its 5
Technically helm and chest are insane crafts right now
Because they only cost 4 heraldries when they should cost 5
yeah but, who really cares about 175 cp
But those will be tier
Whaazz crafted helm I think 
Chest and helm are 5, no?
It will get replaced with tier piece so it’s kind of a bad idea
Boots are 5, when they SHOULD be 4
oh i see
Helm and chest are 4
When they SHOULD be 5
It’s weird
Either they messed up or they made them cheaper because you can’t turn them into tier anyway
my 2's partner used his catalyst on boots after i explained in detail it will turn into a tier piece

Oh maybe they fixed it
yeah both chest and helm are 5. Damn.
Boots are 4
Haha
Damn, I wish I was here 5 hours ago.
Yeah they fixed it
It would’ve been a waste anyway because you need to make those slots into tier set
So really we should be glad
Now you can buy boots for 4 properly
Yeah, for sure lol well that makes it easier.
are people saving conquest ? i checked whaaz and the only gladiator piece they have is the trinket pvp feel so confusing sometimes LOL .
He bought shoulders and turned them into tier set
oh shit you can do that LOL
Then he bought legs with the free 1.6k tier token
Yes there is something called a Catalyst in Dornogal, you can put items in it and turn them into tier set items
1 charge every 2 weeks
thanks for the info ima buy the shoulders now and put them bad boys into a tier set
It has good damage and burst right now, so yes and no
oh i just remember longass time ago the pvp buffs/debuffs really fucked up sub's burst
Sub is so fun. I play with an SP and Prevoker. I was debating on switching from assa to sub just to get more access to stuns for my sp to actually cast
The first session he didn’t have precog and I thought he was going to overhead chuck his pc out the window
Assa in that comp just does so much dmg it’s wild. Unless we’re facing wizards I don’t get touched the whole game
is assas going fatebound? i heard that somewhere...or stil use that pinned build?
I got the same question for Sub.. where to begin with it?
I think most people like Deathstalker for both assa and sub
It’s viable, but deathstalker is the better option
Fatebound is easier to play around because you don’t really change your playstyle as much
thought i would check..ill just stick to death...havent had any issues with it
But deathstalker is all around better for dmg/defense/mobility
What’s the question?
Kalvish got an interesting build but it got me confused
he's got the shorter symbols cd but then picks the lingering darkness instad of +15% eviscerate dmg after symbols
I run that build too, its not that uncommon
so does nahj afaik
lingering darkness gets more pick than the 15% sod
Ye most people are running that
you have like 0 need for improved shadow techniques and the 6% crit from symbols
5 sec reduced symbol CD is much better
yo trickz i fucked up yesterday and bought wrist + back instead of belt + back for bloody tokens. Big deal?
Symbols cd is def the more popular choice lately
if ur playing sub i dont think crafted helm is bad ngl
especially if u went engi helm
id take the tier gloves over the fking 1000 haste helm xd
It’s not that big of a deal because you’re going to have so many tokens later
1000 haste helm? based I can craft goggles
Iirc whaazz crafted helm
i still didnt craft anything
But tier gloves are pretty shit
yeah i think helm is slightly worse if not equal to tier gloves, and then when u add that engi helm exists and engi gloves do not for sub specifically i think
he made the right call
really its 700 crit vs 400 mast or w/e the numbers are
I think in the grand scheme of things it won’t matter until we’re fully geared
Fuck yeah #TeamEngiHelm
true
what fix?
fix that made it cost the correct amount
Helm and chest were 4 heraldries instead of 5
aight
ur a whopping 170 conquest or w/e the heraldry costs behind and it means literally nothing until 5 weeks pass and only for the first 2 hours that u queue or whatever it ends up being
xd
any specific embelishments for boots? for ass
Duskthread lining
^ ur safest bet
We may not even use the weapon embellishment
But tbh all embellishments are like +1-2% dmg
None of them are that insane
also if anyone here tests captured starlight lmk
if its anything like sporecloak or safeguard could 100% be worth dropping the dmg
but i wasnt gonna buy it without seeing the numbers
btw im playiung the no kingsbane bone spikes build, seems to be working better for me (deathstalker) compared to the coin one
altho im still wondering if i should replace bonespikes with kingsbane
You can, it’s not horrible, but it’s nothing crazy good either
ok i got pika to test the shorter symbols build and immediately he played better (also was his first match with no frost mage on enemy)
the boots are mastery+versa+lining right?
do i use gladiator heraldry on boots?
Ye
ye
that's what most people are doing ye
bet
Always a sliver of hope
so only boots this week? this leeaves me with 5 heralds
id recommend ur 2nd craft in a socket slot, personally i went w wrists
engi helm has potential but its more debatable
engi wrists?
well there's a couple ways you can go about it
if ur doing this i think u need pve mats right?
you can buy wpvp belt/cloak and socket the belt
pve mats arent a problem for me im mythic raider
but that belt will likely be replaced at the end of our gearing
mentioned before but the four R1 rogues I follow all did something different with gear/embells
there's none of that bullshit with tiered neck gems this time around is there?
yeah
weapon sigil + nerubian?
nothing ever gets fully figured out week 1
Stealth reseting bte is really huge. Need a way to make up for the damage.
it always takes us like 4 weeks to really start figuring things out
as far as gear and talent builds
Yeah
that makes sense week 1. following raz mostly. i'm a believer 
personally i think if ur asking for help in a general pvp chat for rogue discord ur not competing at a level where chasing the weapon craft w1 will benefit you over long term crafts that dont get replaced, especially before the embel tuning
personally i don't think most people should craft dagger
currently i have 0 doubt that this is bis, its just the question of how short term ur goals are
considering we get free daggers in a couple weeks
crafted neck is bis?
personally going to take the outlaw weapons week 3 for free since i enjoy all 3 specs
i don't agree with that choice either ngl
but ya that makes sense too just be patient and it'll pay off unless your playing every day the next 2 weeks
i should've clarified i meant the embel tech hes doing
as for the jewelery slot choice uhh, better to ask him
raz is r1 everything though, maybe its a pve choice, maybe he has secrets for pvp optimizing, couldnt asnwer myself
Vivacity and duskthread?
ye
think he said hes not raiding this tier
i don't think they use Vivacity in pve
i think they're all using Ascension
i think Ascension is going to be really good for outlaw/assa
since all 4 stats are decent for them
sub specifically though probably not
@potent pivot yo do we need 2 darkthread lining for craft or just one?
there are two slots, i ve never crafted before
1 slot is for stat missive
you need a vers/mast missive
im not sure what missive means
ohhh
ohh nvm
all good ty
i bought shoulders with conquest, do we just let remaining 900 conq sit>?
also holyfuck duskthread is 4k gold
if you're playing sub you can buy badge
im assa atm
for assa the jury is still out on the next piece imo
is holy actually this much better than disc or is our disc priest just not good
your disc priest is not good lmaoo
everyone says holy is garbage
disc is insane
maybe he was getting shut down way more than you guys shut down the hpriest
I saw this disc in a shuffle that was spam shielding with rapture into a double purge comp
was so cringe
went 0-6
their shield healing is crazy atm but yeah
what embellishments are sub rogues doing for the alagari daggers ? ive got all the mats. is it blessed weapon grip for both?
for sub atm you go double Duskthread lining on armor
i see and wep?
blessed weapon grip doesn't stack and we're not sure it's better than lining
is it possibel to leave one open and recraft or do i just make one you think ?
completley new to this crafting sstem
so lost
you can recraft later but i'm not super familiar with the recraft system either
if you're going to go wep regardless of the fact we get free weps week 3, either you craft it with no embellishment or wait until everyone figures out the best embellishment
everyone is testing out different stuff
blessed weapon grip, duskthread lining, darkmoon vivacity, darkmoon ascension
the free wep are crit and i luckily sold beledar for like 2m gold so for once i can do stupid shit like wasting it
the safest option right now is Duskthread Lining x2
ty ty
ok so after crafting boots and buying shoulders I have 900 conq and 5 heralrdrys lying around. Guess im chilling until next week
why would you hold 900 conq instead of just buying head?
problem is we're not sure if we're going to use tier head or hands, or engi goggles/reg helm
now I just have to figure out what to do for my warrior then xDDDDD
there is no "trickz" in their discord goddamnit
thanks a lot man
np, as soon as we know more i'll have it in the gearing faq
atm just kinda waiting for assa/outlaw
i mean tier gloves have crit haste 🤢
yeah but some are thinking engi goggles could be good
feel like for sub /ass thats kinda just a nono piece
im also wondering how often people use SND on assa. The white/poison dmg doesnt seem to be insane and im always iffy using it
yes, you use it
Helm = Haste /Mast (Has mastery)
Shoulders = bis
Chest = crit vers (has vers)
pants = crit/mast (has mastery) so like, at least you are getting either mastery or vers on each slot
it's not a 100% must have always up
Crit haste is just... ew
but you should be using it yeah
ye i am , in between when im slowed or rooted or some sht
doesn't matter much if you use engi goggles
wait does mistweaver also have this dodge shit
First 3 rounds were more like this
ye all 3 specs doing good dmg
then i think he changed talent a bit
yes
last 3 rounds have quite high dmg
fuck
Can’t expect the apes to cc so
that sub isn't bad
They let him tee off then that is their problem
5-1 placement game
not bad
now mmr 1721
sometimes i shouldn't say anything about swap at gate open
some apes swap out of nowhere
like warrior was so dead, DH swapped to priest out of nowhere
fair fair
Yep just a daycare for ape classes
we'll see how it shakes out in a few weeks
all we know for sure is we want 4p for sub no matter what
been hearing most say they're going 4p for assa too, but until we actually get it and test it dunno if that's best
it seems to be unnerfed in pvp which is kinda insane
pretty sure its an oversight and wwill be fixed soon
yeah sub's set was unnerfed in pvp for all of beta
not sure if it's an oversight
assa/outlaw sets are nerfed
seems to be updated on the PTR trees on wowhead as well i think
there are tierset bonuses for some specs that are def nerfed
so its prob an oversight
Yep. Supercharge stuff isn’t hooked up yet but the new first dance does work and displays a buff. New stuff is shaping up well and feels solid.
On purpose for math reasons likely dunno
was so excited to pvp and then
some aren't though
:C
it's basically 1 talent point per extra combo point
that sounds kinda weak
you only get those extra combo points after pressing rtb/sod/shiv
that's a lot of talent points for 3 extra cp every ~25 seconds
when you could have Deeper+Tea instead..
uhhh u wouldnt play tea anymore iirc
craft boots
and why not? lmao
if im reading correctly
its completely passive energy gen when u hit 30 energy and has no real way to be "activated" when u want the mastery
it's not passive no
it's still active on PTR
it just automatically triggers when you hit the energy threshold, which can be avoided
is it not being made passive in a later build? thats what i thought losing all charges and no cd meant in the datamining
and what i craft infuriopus boots
Algari
with the conquest heraldries
you should have 9 heraldries for crafting gear
if you won some rated games
why these
i haven't seen anything that would imply that, but that line you linked does look weird
conq boot no mastery craft boot yes mastery
if they listen to feedback i don't think that change would stand
afaik even pve players aren't entirely happy with it
makes sense
if they listen to feedback coup would havent made it out of beta with a gcd lock BUT
here we are
do we emblish botos?
they're fixing that now
yes, duskthread lining
Did i read it right that our stuns will last longer? Kidney and cheap shot.
no
i don't think this was a "not listening" thing, but a time constraint thing
those changes do not affect pvp
and it can be cheap ones right becasue only pvp i lvl matters
get rank 3 Duskthread though
Not PvP related, but they fixed Bloodfang on PTR
https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/1190889.jpg
Hows the ptr changes looking
ehhh, im kinda pessimistic about blizz development after the s3 DF changes
a lot of "please dont do this" and "atleast fix everything before pushing it to live" -> broken talents and 3 months wait for the fix
i think most of us would've preferred a flat 30% evis dmg in place of coup until it was actually ready instead of something bugged out
Yes I linked it in #transmog
ur right tho, can only wait and see what they do
Mostly good stuff on this one
some very very good, some kinda questionable
but overall maybe we're so back and everything will be OK agane
The rollercoaster of we're so back
Doesn't seem like overall the changes do much unless I missed some stuff
Well ER has gotten a lot of changes
Go look at the 11.0.5 PTR talent tree
Also MA and Subterfuge changes are INSANE for assa
IC will be 12 seconds
Etc
i like the supercharge potentially meaning a 9cp darkest night? kinda cool perhaps
Yeah
theres also some COOKING with an SoD + Echoing Rep + Rotten build
Ohh, I didn't realize that's what the Subterfuge change meant
will have to see how tuning goes
A lot of stealth talents will be 12 sec basically
Access to Garrote Silence for 12s after coming out of stealth doesn't seem like something that's going to stay
I'll take it though!
I’ll take any assa QoL I can get man
ill take any patchnote that doesnt ruin the class at this point
I want MfD back
I think most of us do
Kinda seems like they’re trying to prune buttons though
ER is going to be passive, Sepsis gone, auto Tea
I liked Sepsis
at 1 talent point for a 60 sec cd flag who cares if its predictable u just slam it out
That’s what I’m thinking yeah
ye
sepsis felt worse with deathstalker imo just bc ur choosing between the mark application or the extra strike dmg in ur first gcd
not like a bad button, just that there was too much u want to do in such a short window
if you dont have deathstalker's mark running, sepsis is pretty far down the priority list
always better to SS to apply it
ok so i got the boots made what do i spend conquest on
If you play sub buy badge
assassin atm but i also like sub
ye and that made it feel bad to take imo
Sepsis is kinda just a press whenever ability
Either during your first burst window or when you want access to a stealth ability
i mean assass still runs badge and medallion right
Probably going Insignia this season
really bet the main stat on death mark i feel like fat
Deathmark and KB damage are pretty bad rn
The majority of your damage is just spreading bleeds
Insignia fits the playstyle better
stay saff ill probably jsut buy the helm then
its still an insanely good talent
just pressig it in the opener is not as good as it used to be
Just logged into PTR, Tea's still also an active ability
yea what i linked was datamining for a future build
wouldnt be on live ptr
no doubt its strong and has many uses, just personally not a fan of having it is all
Pretty sure those datamined changes were from the current build
The 30 energy threshold is live there
well we wait and see and hope it doesnt go passive
12s Imp Garrote is hilarious
Can't say I really understand why it's no longer possible to get Tea, double Vanish, and fully talented ER
Doesn't seem like something that's broken, we have it now...
The old ER node is a 2 point talent node now
oh sorry
No, I know that, I just mean design wise
you're making an observation of that fact
Yeah
I guess we get more frequent access to it
would rather not advertise something that is likely an exploit
idk if it's confirmed that it isn't an exploit somewhere i'll gladly leave it alone
already deleted a comment about it last night
lot of people getting banned right now for exploits
i wouldn't want someone to get banned for something they learned here
they are exploiting pve stuff i recall
i'm just being careful
well well
even a bunch of crafters got banned for a different exploit
and A LOT of pve players are farming pvp right now
heradlry gear can be crafted at 610 pve ilvl and socketed
I can confirm that you can get it without doing rated activities
crafters are getting banned rn
because they are mass reporting each other
for undercutting
oh really? that's crazy but good to know ty
a lot of them were doing "acuity shuffles" as well that got them banned
how many wins and of what bracket?
is that the $200 acuity shuffle? 
think so yeah lmao
"acuity?"
never heard about that
im surprised they got banned given how much money blizz made off them
surely let them do it for a few more weeks to collect the paycheck
then ban after
same lmao
that's why i'd rather be very careful when it comes to anything that might be considered an exploit
damn
shuffle is pretty heavily just healer diff a lot of the time
Healer died every round this last lobby
One round dude was like 75% then poof
Idek how the round ended
week one, that is how
Frost dk goes “I’m a monster” after winning round one then our healer gets giga deleted
Gotta love it
XD
Did you see the fixed t2 remake
I posted it in #transmog n someone posted it here too earlier
did they fixed it?
Yeah they fixed the face and eyes
Yeah check the transmog channel
tried
Sec
it scrolls me to random places there
wow thats bad lol
The armor still isn’t the best
But when blizzard show cased it before it didn’t even have the blacked out face and glowing red eyes
who let you back in the house
always that sleeveless vest bugged me
Yeah it has too much grey/silver not enough black tbh
all the rogues will be wearing it for like a week lol
and then youll never see it again
I'll be rocking the df aspirant set
on my dk
the verdant
this current aspirant set for my rogue
all gold and stuff
I don’t like the leather aspirant stuff as much
But it’s way better than recent aspirant sets
gives Eldorado
The plate aspirant/wpvp sets are insanely good
Better than some of the plate tier sets imo
Lol
(i have no idea about what to buy w that now tbh)
Pandaaaaa
I don't want to wait in queue for shuffle but there are no healers to play with
xd
And and and
and and and
I didn't get to upgrade me CPU
F
Because I can't format my USB driveeeeeeeee
I have to think about the fastest eay to get 1600 might be 2s with frost mage partner
I played 1 arena with an unholy dk, game froze and costed us the game. Then I logged.
Solo rbg timers are big ?
15 mins for mine
god dammit
happened to me before upgrading the pc
i had constant framing drops or cooling issues
Seems like most Outlaws have gotten Shoulders and Chest pieces for 2 set,on Murlokio
is that correct?
Lot of people including myself bought (for Sub) belt (big mastery) and back (big mastery)
i really wouldn't pay very close attention to murlok.io for like 3-4 weeks
you've got no way of knowing what spec they're gearing for or if they're just testing different things
cool, thanks
most rogues have went 2p for assa/sub
buying shoulders from conq vendor->catalysting them and using their 1.6k tier token on legs
outlaw tier 2 piece sounds good though 😛 15% dmg increase as shadow
but will refrain from converting anything
it's nerfed by 50% in pvp
so i guess il use conquest to get shoulders 1.6 for pants, maybe use 175 to craft a second piece,i guess
Ohh 🙂
this whole gearing process is a bit overwhelming at the start
not sure if outlaw's going to run it or not atm
yeah the gearing system is pretty convoluted atm
it's pretty easy to gear, and kinda quick compared to some past seasons
but it can be a lot to take in
yep 🙂
not many outlaws to find guides either :))
is it ok if i go like this ? "i guess il use conquest to get shoulders 1.6 for pants, maybe use 175 to craft a second piece" ?
crafting requires multiple heraldries
thank you! 😄
and this are still the go to Blessed Weapon Grip
Duskthread Lining right?
i see
seems like ppl is using grip
i think just 2x duskthread lining to be on the safe side
thanks for the info 😄
one quick last question, was buying boots with haste vers using Bloody tokens wrong?:D
ordering a dagger
naw for outlaw that's fine
what are ya'll crafting with the free 9 heraldries?
depends on what you want to do
some are doing dagger/boots some are doing boots/helm or gloves
we get free daggers week 3
anyone got a subterfuge WA?
I'ma ssuming ascencion on the dagger and the banding on the boots?
no, atm 2x Duskthread Linings
got it ty
people are still testing Ascendance
I play mage, asking for my rogue friend lol
what should i be crafting?
Conq - bought shoulders + trinket
Bloody Tokens - bought belt/cloak
i need to be spoon fed
i just said above
some people are doing wep/boots some are doing boots/helm or gloves
what is the crafted weapon called
can do wep if you're trying to be sweaty for the next 2 weeks
but we get free weapons week 3
hm
all pvp crafted gear is called Algari
thanks
anyone hate this crafting meta? just let me buy the enchant/missive off the AH or whatever
and not hunt for 5-10 random items off the AH to buy in order to craft
its just adding extra steps for no reason
I just sat in a 2s game for almost 20 minutes while my holy priest 1v1d a mistweaver
Shoulda let the gentleman's Rez happen
That should be a blast to watch not to play tho
my boomer ass is sitting in front of the AH fumbling what mats to buy
Is blitz even fun
I got to 1k cr yestd before had to go to sleep in 2s
Gonna grind out the rest of the cr for my token
Tonight
its basically rbgs but slightly better rng for getting teammates that hit the sweaty/good player crossover
I swear blitz has to be so troll when you barely have agency over the match
did i fuck up? how come this isnt max quality
Doesn't matter in pvp
ok
It scales to the max value when you craft it
I've been playing my sv hunter as my first toon and it's fun so far
Definitely a grind though to get all that honor for the sockets
Very first blitz game I had yesterday basically the team discus whos gonna carry flag, whos on peel duty and whatever before the gates opened
and I'm pretty sure the enemy team didn't do any of that because they just brawled in mid and let our fc waltz past 3 times
Do you not play crackshot or HO
no crackshot
i just can't plan around vanish like that when it's both my defensive and cc and adr extender and haste proc
Show pistol shot damage
Wdym
In arena you just press it on cd
And press W non stop
haven't really seen, but how do you get tier set for the Conquest gear? does it also go in the Catalyst?
Yeah bro
@grave basin Assuming your playing killing spree and ghostly strike aswell?
What are your stats, haste to 20% then crit?
Blade rush aswell
arcane mage lobby
whya haste to 15
i'd kill myself if i'm playing without blade rush
Cause you want 25% haste to make up one lost global in AR
Show me your build if possible?
it's the usual build with a few tweaks
isn't it 8-10 if playing with take em
You get 15% baseline then 10% every time you rtb
i also played around with trickster after figuring out that KS was basically mandatory
Trickster is ass
coup gcd lockout just ruins that spec
The gcd lock is so bad
everything else is great. coup even has a 15 yd dash built into it
Funky
I don't think it makes up the damage difference
Tails coin flip is too good
And it's cOSmiC damage
So it bypasses armor
yeah imma stick to fatebound for now. but half the games i don't even get the 7 roll stack in a 3 minute round, it's annoying
You also can't be slowed below 70%
And with almost perma sprint uptime
Most probably will start working on my Rog this weekend
Once all you nerds figure this out

!stats
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.
it's 10%, you get 10 from take em and 5 from alacrity for 25
In full honor gear you're at 15% haste
Unless you want to take mastery for some reason
You guys playing sub or sin in solo bg?
What if I want cold blood
Idk why in pvp it'd be different

I like KS but I'll probably drop it
Dropping KS is a sin
If I go fatebound no reason to keep
I can probably deal the same damage if I press buttons
anyone have a decent video about sub rogue for pvp?
7pt dispatch is what 300k?
Isn't KS 3 globals
it's good burst. i prefer it because if you don't have it your only burst option is crackshot and I don't like playing around crackshot.
it's almost exactly as long as half cheap shot, which is all I need to know
I don't mind crackshot

There isn't much rogue content ATM, just watch streams imo
If you can keep up
Unless someone's made an actual guide with gameplay that I missed
because it takes 10% minimum to get an extra global in kidney
This convoluted pvp gearing shit is awful. I do not want to engage with this shit. I want to focus on pvp, not spend hours agonizing over how to maximize my pvp gear to ensure I don't accidentally burn a weekly timegated crafting material on the "wrong" piece that screws me down the line. Let me know when this nonsense is sorted out, until then I won't be pvping lol
@potent pivot what mats do I need to buy at r3 to not lose value on a pvp craft?

only ones that matter are the embellishments i'm pretty sure
It's not convoluted at all
even missives dont matter?
Just buy conq gear
nope
Imagine I wasn't on this discord. How would I know we get free weapons in a few weeks, and what would stop me from spending my timegated currency on weapons, only to screw myself later?
The game doesn't tell you that
By playing the game
the quest you get as soon as you go to the vendor....?
You go in the pvp area and take the quest that's literally all there is to it
I haven't even found the vendor yet and I've been 80 for a week. Where the heck is he?
Bruh
Who would have thought
I also just discovered Hallowfall lol
I mean if you make 0 efforts idk what to tell you
The quest literally comes from the guy you buy conquest gear from
Alacrity isn’t super reliable, that’s why 10-15% is recommended.
I have not found that npc yet, I've just been doing dungeons and side quests. Game is fun but once again, it does a poor job of guiding a pvp-interested player to the pvp scene
It really doesn't
If you're only interested in pvp there is a zone in dornogal with everything pertaining to pvp concentrated into it
Okay I mean, I've been 80 for a week and the game hasn't mentioned pvp yet lol
You don't have to go anywhere else you don't even need sparks
Skill issue
If you play one BG you get an automatic quest saying "HERE IS PVP AND BTW LOOK QUEST FOR WEAPON"
If you don't PvP why would they shove it in your face? PvP is irrelevant to 99% of the players 
yeah I'll stay at 15, right now i'm way above the cap
Well I see people in world pvp with 6 million hp to my 3 million, so I figured I'm undergeared
It isn’t though
So I figured I'd wait til I'm geared, just
sure
The game doesn't explain how to like, do that
how are these keybindings?
Because you didn't go to the pvp area
That's literally it there is no explanation to give there is a pvp area where you get the gear
It's in the main city the level of exploration couldn't be lower
Right because when when you get to Dornogol the game guides you around the city but nobody's like, "here's a quest that leads you to the Dornogol pvp vendor"
Like I said: you get the quest when you play one battleground or arena
Which leads you to the PvP vendor and the PvP weapon quest
Starting from this reset since season is now started
Right, I guess the fallacy was, I shouldn't queue when I have half the hp of my opponents
Okay? If you were really interested you'd look for it
Even if you only do pve you go there for training dummies
it's a bit confusing really. you want to do world pvp quests and stuff to get gear that specifically scales ilvl in pvp. or you can buy(AH)/loot aspirant's heraldries to craft gear that scales to ilvl 613 in pvp. then you can start doing battlegrounds until you can afford honor gear and go up from there.
Thanks for acknowledging that I'm not the only human who feels the system is needlessly convoluted
you need to touch fucking grass
Wait what? Then why do they have twice my hp in world pvp?
Honestly though I believe they could do a much better job I've just played this game for 20 years
For example some the introduction the the city you get when starting: why not show the PvP vendors
My bad for saying if you are interested in pvp you should look for the pvp vendors
Insane take on my part
I do apologize
THIS
(They don't because they hate PvP hehe xD)
Yes 🫡
That's my point lmao
Pvp gearing is extremely easy and anyone who says otherwise is coping
How bad is high mastery outlaw? lol I want to try it but all my high ilvl gear is mastery heavy cuz I geared for sin and sub
Modern MMOs like WoW are lobby and Google based 
You sit in the city and google shit
it's not unbearable
You just have to play pvp and spend to pvp currency in the pvp vendor
Main gauche secret op build 
Is it unreasonable to feel like I shouldn't be queueing for pvp before I've bought any pvp gear? Honest question
yes
Get honor gear before queuing rated PvP
probably shouldnt if you dont like dying over and over
all gear scales up in pvp instances
I don't like getting stomped by a gear gap, no
I didn't know this, since it does not scale up in world pvp
That's how it's always been with honor farming
who cares about wpvp
So that's MEGA unintuitive
Pshero
if you want honor you usually queue right
Wpvp isn't a metric to go by lmao
Wpvp depends on numbers, exploits and consumables
It doesn't depend on your actual skill
I'm not saying I CARE, I'm saying how TF was I supposed to know that?
The easiest way to reason about wow nowadays is: if you want gear for X go do X.
Isn't it considered irresponsible to queue for bg with no starter pvp gear? I used to hate when people do that, it's like going to gym class with no gym clothes or equipment
It's like going into a dungeon and complaining that you're getting gapped in dmg by someone who has farmed his gear
it just doesn't matter for unrated
everyone has to start somewhere to earn honor
that's what unrated pvp is there for
Okay, so step 1; queue for unrated
Step 2: what am I queueing unrated for if everyone has the same ilev gear scaled to the same level? Can't I just queue rated then?
It's scales up to help, but to to an even level
Wouldn't it be better if everyone just like, scaled to the same level and we could skip the dumb bullshit unrated nonsense
I'm serious
what is the best embelishment for assa?
I like having gear progression in my mmorpg
I play pve to grind gear
I play pvp to grind rating
I don't want to grind gear in pvp lol
right we're just going 2x Duskthread Lining until we figure out bis later
Play guild wars 2 instead
Wow pvp is far superior to gw2
At least, it was the last time I played gw2... which was like... 2014
Thoughts on dark moon ascension augment? Saw venruki say it was 100% gonna get nerfed
Embellish*
thanks, i guess its wort crafting 639 weps now right?
it's probably better to wait for weapons from the quest, unless you're going to no life play the next 2 weeks
You get only 1 weap from the quest right?
it doesn't even seem that good tbh
what should i craft then
for assa:
belt/bracer from bloody tokens
shoulders from conq vendor->catalyst into tier
leg tier from 1.6k tier token
craft boots/helm or gloves
ahh, thanks for the tip cuz I was planning to craft wep
The one thought I had about pvp gearing based on the 30 seconds of examination I did before I gave up on it was...
That raid crafted dagger looks absolutely nuts for pvp, bases on two things. The proc seems powerful (though it may be nerfed in pvp), and more interestingly, did you guys notice the damage range on it? It has a wild damage range with a crazy topend, and iirc, a higher DPS than other equivalent ilev items. I could have been hallucinating all of this, can anyone confirm/deny?
I have 404 bloody tokens. How can I get 121 more real quick to buy a cloak?
I don't know how mutilate is calculated anymore. In OG wow each hit was based on the actual damage range of your weapons, is it still that way?
crate
crates, pvp WQs or killing players
oof
Fun detected
Where do we spend the bloody tokens? Dornogol? I also have about 400, just barely any honor
same place the honor/conq vendors are
the dude in the middle
Gotcha
Pve effects are nerfed by 90% in pvp there isn't a single pve item worth considering
Even with the crazy damage range? Are mutilate and backstab flat damage and not affected by weapon damage range like they were in vanilla wow?
Iirc the weapon has a crazy damage range
For example, in vanilla, backstab was a flat damage value multiplied by a random number value between your minimum weapon damage range and your max weapon damage range
Multiplied by like, 250% or something
I have no idea how mutilate and backstab are calculated anymore, does anyone know? The game has been "dumbed down" in some sense where all the weapons have the exact same speed and damage range, so I was intrigued when I saw this raid craft seemed to have a crazy damage range. But again
I could have misread it
If it wasn't the jobless would run a train on everyone else on day 1
World quest gives 100 I think
It gives 100 per any wq. At least yesterday it was like this 😂
Did they already stealth nerf the depths enchant? This is what it did over a whole 6 round shuffle
rank 2
what are people crafting
thinking of making some knives till i get the conquest quest ones
ah, almost guessed right on my own
i got wrist and gloves for tokens
btw why ppl crafting helm on assa? it still got mastery where gloves are haste crit
You have depth enchant 
some people crafted helm before they hotfixed it
what did they hotfix
rogues having fun
Rank 2 was only 10k each so figured why not
also some people may play goggles, and use tier gloves over helm
we running any like embelishment on this shit or what
2x duskthread lining
aaaaight
i'm not going goggles until i'm sure we're using tier gloves
thats true
because gloves are kinda ass
dont wanna take any gambless
I crafted helm, chest, wrists, and belt before the hot fix 🙂
rEpOrTeD!~!
nah gj lmao
shouldnt that be ascendance on dager and writching armor?
no
we're still testing ascendance and blessed weapon grip to see which is better
Did anyone see the BS damage rank 2 depths did for me though? That's 6 rounds.
And I was running 2 of them
Same damage as wound poison
What gives
yeah even the r3 doesn't seem great
That must've recently been hotfixed
definitely isn't doing top dmg
It was doing crazy damage
it's probably nerfed in pvp or something
because it's still bis in pve
maybe it was bugged on beta
who knows
raz even went Vivacity on wep, i assume to test that one
ascendance is probably crap for sub
yea but he likes to test stuff out
and he was playing other than meta embelishment too in df s4
the problem is ascendance gives all 4 stats on rotation
you can make weapon grip give only mastery
If only there were some version of the game people could play before the release of the actual game to the general public so the devs could decide what needs to be buffed and nerfed in advance. Maybe we could even name it after a Greek letter or something. Just a thought I've been toying with lately.
this combo is from nahj, who i guess i trust even tho he is us and sub main
and duskthread lining is guaranteed versa
the fuck does US have to do with it?
even Whaazz practically copied everything Nahj did
I mean they also could maybe possibly make a realm that rhymes with bee Dee arr
Too hard though
ye cos nahj is kinda exception, but rest us ppl tends to do wrong builds and play wrong stuff
id only trust eu theorycrafting when comes to gear and builds cos eu
you've got the weirdest opinions i've ever had to read
idc
I think he means if nahj was from EU would you trust him more
The difference in embellishments between lining, ascendence, and weapon grip is likely so small that it's negligible and you can just play whichever one you happen to like better. I'm playing weapon grip because I like a proc that makes my bleeds randomly start ticking noticeably harder from time to time. But I doubt it really matters
That's the do whatever you want build
all EU vs NA, one is better than ther other, blah blah blah opinions are weird
true
the one that'll mute you if you continue with NA vs EU dogshit
Oh shit @potent pivot this is the guy you told me about
Man he really lives up to his name
What I wanna know is why does nahj being from US matters
but i see u do
I have US and EU citizenship. Does my opinion matter?
you can have your opinion, but not spout it here. it's not welcome here
Only half of it
i said nahj is legit when comes to theorycrafting
So what's wrong with his build?
nothing i literally was surprised he said 2x dusk, when nahj go is asce+ writching armor
nahj went 2x dusk
for sub
Why would you go other than that for sub
"*You can either do double versatility above 80% embelishments on leather crafted pieces // or ascension on weapon + writhing armor banding on leather. Assa prefers the ascension setup"
he's only been playing sub
How is that surprising
dude u got reading problem?
msg i quoted was about assa embelishment
some guy was asking for assa embelishment, then got answer 2x dusk
thats why i asked about ascension setup with writching
i don't think nahj has even tested that
he was playing ascendance as sub on 2nd rogue
afaik
2x dust is the "safest" option right now. The players doing other shit are doing it to test it and see if maybe it's better
dusk is 5k per
if ascendance ends up being incorrect, that's 20-30k i didn't recommend someone waste
u need quality 1 which is 500g
i'm not about to recommend someone spend 20k on something i don't know for a fact is bis
it scales with pvp ilvl
If it scales with ilvl then why do the ranks exist to begin with
pve
So the effect has a fixed number per rank on pve gear but scales with ilvl on pvp gear regardless of rank?
Rank of the embellishment changes the vers value you get
You need rank 3
The other mats don't matter
You w0t m8
Did you actually test this ?
Oh so maybe we can buy rank 1s? Because rank 3s are expensive as hell
yea
As long as you're using the trophy
The item level scales
If you put a rank 1 enchant on a 639 pvp item the enchant doesn't provide the effect like it was rank 3
🤨
