you get a stacking 10% dodge chance until you dodge something then it resets

marble crag
#

oh right

worthy crag
#

never tried blitz but i assume it'd give you more than 96 rating per win

outer sky
potent pivot
#

Yeah it’s sorta insane for mw

jolly sierra
#

yeah, you're right, i think will just do dailies for now

outer sky
#

Dance of the Wind

potent pivot
#

I’m gonna have to add that to my plates or something

worthy crag
#

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

marble crag
potent pivot
marble crag
#

or at least that was last season ilit might be different now probably

potent pivot
#

Or something (the 90% dodge I mean)

worthy crag
#

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

marble crag
worthy crag
#

yeah cheap cant be evasioned or parried

pliant mauve
#

Anyone know a if there's a good reason not to craft the neck or is everyone doing boots?

potent pivot
#

Especially this early

worthy crag
#

probably because you can get verse mast already with the vendor sourced neck

#

I think vendor boots dont come with mast vers

potent pivot
#

Boots also can’t be tier

worthy crag
#

if u want to craft jewelry do a ring

#

one slot for vers mast since the vendor one is unique

potent pivot
#

Do an honor level ring

pliant mauve
#

I did with the blue heraldry. I was just trying to use my last 4

worthy crag
#

boot is the best slot tbh

pliant mauve
#

Last 4 gladiator heraldry*

potent pivot
#

You can also buy more purple heraldries

#

Like I think Nahj/whaazz bought 1 each

pliant mauve
#

Yeah, i saw a lot of people doing that but I kept seeing other people saying it was a bug that its 5

potent pivot
#

Technically helm and chest are insane crafts right now

#

Because they only cost 4 heraldries when they should cost 5

worthy crag
#

yeah but, who really cares about 175 cp

potent pivot
#

But those will be tier

worthy crag
#

gearing is so generous

#

spend away

potent pivot
pliant mauve
#

Chest and helm are 5, no?

potent pivot
#

It will get replaced with tier piece so it’s kind of a bad idea

potent pivot
pliant mauve
#

oh i see

potent pivot
#

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

steep kiln
#

my 2's partner used his catalyst on boots after i explained in detail it will turn into a tier piece

pliant mauve
#

Looks like 5 now. That sucks.

potent pivot
#

Oh maybe they fixed it

pliant mauve
#

yeah both chest and helm are 5. Damn.

potent pivot
#

I looked at it literally this morning

#

And boots?

pliant mauve
#

Boots are 4

potent pivot
#

Haha

pliant mauve
#

I guess they hot fixed it

#

lol

potent pivot
#

Yeah

#

Must have

pliant mauve
#

Damn, I wish I was here 5 hours ago.

lucid citrus
#

Yeah they fixed it

potent pivot
#

So really we should be glad

#

Now you can buy boots for 4 properly

pliant mauve
#

Yeah, for sure lol well that makes it easier.

sturdy valve
#

are people saving conquest ? i checked whaaz and the only gladiator piece they have is the trinket pvp feel so confusing sometimes LOL .

potent pivot
sturdy valve
#

oh shit you can do that LOL

potent pivot
#

Then he bought legs with the free 1.6k tier token

potent pivot
#

1 charge every 2 weeks

sturdy valve
#

thanks for the info ima buy the shoulders now and put them bad boys into a tier set

fickle grove
#

yo guys

#

is sub still just a stun bot in pvp lol

potent pivot
fickle grove
potent pivot
#

Sub is pretty insane right now

#

All 3 specs are really good

plucky escarp
#

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

golden island
#

is assas going fatebound? i heard that somewhere...or stil use that pinned build?

torn shore
#

I got the same question for Sub.. where to begin with it?

plucky escarp
#

I think most people like Deathstalker for both assa and sub

potent pivot
#

Fatebound is easier to play around because you don’t really change your playstyle as much

golden island
potent pivot
#

But deathstalker is all around better for dmg/defense/mobility

potent pivot
neat dove
#

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

worthy crag
#

I run that build too, its not that uncommon

#

so does nahj afaik

#

lingering darkness gets more pick than the 15% sod

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

you have like 0 need for improved shadow techniques and the 6% crit from symbols

#

5 sec reduced symbol CD is much better

potent pivot
#

Imp shtech is pretty good imo

#

It doesn’t serve you much during burst though

vague comet
#

yo trickz i fucked up yesterday and bought wrist + back instead of belt + back for bloody tokens. Big deal?

potent pivot
#

Symbols cd is def the more popular choice lately

radiant glen
#

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

potent pivot
vague comet
#

aight

#

i am also smurfing on my war, they are all making weapons

neat dove
potent pivot
vague comet
#

i still didnt craft anything

potent pivot
#

But tier gloves are pretty shit

radiant glen
#

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

potent pivot
#

I think in the grand scheme of things it won’t matter until we’re fully geared

outer sky
#

Fuck yeah #TeamEngiHelm

radiant glen
#

true

potent pivot
#

Whaazz crafted regular helm

#

Because it was only 4 heraldries before the fix

vague comet
#

what fix?

radiant glen
#

fix that made it cost the correct amount

potent pivot
#

Helm and chest were 4 heraldries instead of 5

vague comet
#

i didnt craft anything yesterday

#

i m guessing i fucked up

potent pivot
#

Nope

#

You just craft boots

vague comet
#

aight

radiant glen
# vague comet i m guessing i fucked up

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

stoic spruce
#

Okay

#

For non crackshot build in 11.0.5

#

There's a chance

sturdy valve
#

any specific embelishments for boots? for ass

potent pivot
radiant glen
#

^ ur safest bet

vague comet
#

alright im making boots then

#

hoping the weapon embelish is not that crazy

potent pivot
#

We may not even use the weapon embellishment

#

But tbh all embellishments are like +1-2% dmg

#

None of them are that insane

radiant glen
#

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

vague comet
#

btw im playiung the no kingsbane bone spikes build, seems to be working better for me (deathstalker) compared to the coin one

potent pivot
#

I want to see some Ascension tests

#

That will likely have to wait though

vague comet
#

altho im still wondering if i should replace bonespikes with kingsbane

potent pivot
neat dove
#

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)

vague comet
#

the boots are mastery+versa+lining right?

sturdy valve
#

do i use gladiator heraldry on boots?

potent pivot
radiant glen
potent pivot
sturdy valve
#

bet

spring bough
vague comet
#

so only boots this week? this leeaves me with 5 heralds

radiant glen
#

id recommend ur 2nd craft in a socket slot, personally i went w wrists

#

engi helm has potential but its more debatable

neat dove
#

engi wrists?

potent pivot
#

well there's a couple ways you can go about it

radiant glen
potent pivot
#

you can buy wpvp belt/cloak and socket the belt

neat dove
#

pve mats arent a problem for me im mythic raider

potent pivot
#

but that belt will likely be replaced at the end of our gearing

steep kiln
#

mentioned before but the four R1 rogues I follow all did something different with gear/embells

pliant mauve
#

there's none of that bullshit with tiered neck gems this time around is there?

neat dove
#

yeah

potent pivot
stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

it always takes us like 4 weeks to really start figuring things out

#

as far as gear and talent builds

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

steep kiln
#

that makes sense week 1. following raz mostly. i'm a believer prayge

radiant glen
#

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

potent pivot
radiant glen
potent pivot
#

considering we get free daggers in a couple weeks

steep kiln
#

personally going to take the outlaw weapons week 3 for free since i enjoy all 3 specs

potent pivot
#

i don't agree with that choice either ngl

steep kiln
#

but ya that makes sense too just be patient and it'll pay off unless your playing every day the next 2 weeks

radiant glen
#

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

potent pivot
radiant glen
#

ye

steep kiln
#

think he said hes not raiding this tier

potent pivot
#

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

vague comet
#

@potent pivot yo do we need 2 darkthread lining for craft or just one?

#

there are two slots, i ve never crafted before

potent pivot
#

you need a vers/mast missive

vague comet
#

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

potent pivot
vague comet
#

im assa atm

potent pivot
#

for assa the jury is still out on the next piece imo

outer sky
#

is holy actually this much better than disc or is our disc priest just not good

potent pivot
#

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

worthy crag
#

I saw this disc in a shuffle that was spam shielding with rapture into a double purge comp

#

was so cringe

#

went 0-6

potent pivot
#

their shield healing is crazy atm but yeah

muted salmon
#

what embellishments are sub rogues doing for the alagari daggers ? ive got all the mats. is it blessed weapon grip for both?

potent pivot
muted salmon
#

i see and wep?

potent pivot
#

blessed weapon grip doesn't stack and we're not sure it's better than lining

muted salmon
#

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

potent pivot
#

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

muted salmon
#

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

potent pivot
#

the safest option right now is Duskthread Lining x2

muted salmon
#

ty ty

vague comet
#

ok so after crafting boots and buying shoulders I have 900 conq and 5 heralrdrys lying around. Guess im chilling until next week

tight veldt
#

why would you hold 900 conq instead of just buying head?

potent pivot
#

problem is we're not sure if we're going to use tier head or hands, or engi goggles/reg helm

vague comet
#

now I just have to figure out what to do for my warrior then xDDDDD

#

there is no "trickz" in their discord goddamnit

potent pivot
#

lmao

#

rogue discord best discord PU_pepeSitChill

vague comet
#

thanks a lot man

potent pivot
#

np, as soon as we know more i'll have it in the gearing faq

#

atm just kinda waiting for assa/outlaw

tight veldt
#

i mean tier gloves have crit haste 🤢

potent pivot
#

yeah but some are thinking engi goggles could be good

tight veldt
#

feel like for sub /ass thats kinda just a nono piece

potent pivot
#

you'd be surprised

#

most people think the same

#

but helm also has 1k haste

vague comet
#

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

tight veldt
#

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

potent pivot
#

it's not a 100% must have always up

tight veldt
#

Crit haste is just... ew

potent pivot
#

but you should be using it yeah

vague comet
#

ye i am , in between when im slowed or rooted or some sht

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

this dude is doing good damage as sub

worthy crag
#

wait does mistweaver also have this dodge shit

waxen meteor
#

First 3 rounds were more like this

potent pivot
#

ye all 3 specs doing good dmg

waxen meteor
#

then i think he changed talent a bit

waxen meteor
#

last 3 rounds have quite high dmg

worthy crag
#

fuck

halcyon timber
waxen meteor
#

that sub isn't bad

halcyon timber
#

They let him tee off then that is their problem

waxen meteor
#

kekdog last round sub was dead after i cced priest for 10 sec

#

he died in evasion sadly

halcyon timber
#

Supercharger and stuff is up on ptr but NYI it seems

#

Heh makes sense

waxen meteor
#

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

tight veldt
halcyon timber
#

Yep just a daycare for ape classes

potent pivot
#

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

worthy crag
#

it seems to be unnerfed in pvp which is kinda insane

#

pretty sure its an oversight and wwill be fixed soon

potent pivot
#

not sure if it's an oversight

#

assa/outlaw sets are nerfed

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

there are tierset bonuses for some specs that are def nerfed

#

so its prob an oversight

halcyon timber
potent pivot
#

Supercharger is a 2 point node

#

lmfao

#

you can't take ER+Tea+Vanish

halcyon timber
#

On purpose for math reasons likely dunno

stoic spruce
#

was so excited to pvp and then

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

boom

#

23 minute queue

potent pivot
#

spec crackshot

#

insta q pops

stoic spruce
#

:C

potent pivot
#

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..

snow schooner
#

any help on what to buy next i have the token for getting 1600, and 900 conquest

radiant glen
potent pivot
potent pivot
radiant glen
#

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

potent pivot
#

it's still active on PTR

#

it just automatically triggers when you hit the energy threshold, which can be avoided

radiant glen
#

is it not being made passive in a later build? thats what i thought losing all charges and no cd meant in the datamining

snow schooner
#

and what i craft infuriopus boots

potent pivot
#

with the conquest heraldries

#

you should have 9 heraldries for crafting gear

#

if you won some rated games

snow schooner
#

why these

potent pivot
radiant glen
potent pivot
#

if they listen to feedback i don't think that change would stand

#

afaik even pve players aren't entirely happy with it

snow schooner
#

makes sense

radiant glen
#

if they listen to feedback coup would havent made it out of beta with a gcd lock BUT

#

here we are

snow schooner
#

do we emblish botos?

potent pivot
indigo hill
#

Did i read it right that our stuns will last longer? Kidney and cheap shot.

potent pivot
potent pivot
snow schooner
#

and it can be cheap ones right becasue only pvp i lvl matters

potent pivot
wise breach
grave basin
#

Hows the ptr changes looking

radiant glen
radiant glen
#

ur right tho, can only wait and see what they do

potent pivot
radiant glen
#

but overall maybe we're so back and everything will be OK agane

grave basin
#

The rollercoaster of we're so back

wise breach
#

Doesn't seem like overall the changes do much unless I missed some stuff

potent pivot
#

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

radiant glen
#

i like the supercharge potentially meaning a 9cp darkest night? kinda cool perhaps

potent pivot
#

Yeah

radiant glen
#

theres also some COOKING with an SoD + Echoing Rep + Rotten build

wise breach
#

Ohh, I didn't realize that's what the Subterfuge change meant

radiant glen
#

will have to see how tuning goes

potent pivot
wise breach
#

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!

potent pivot
#

I’ll take any assa QoL I can get man

radiant glen
#

ill take any patchnote that doesnt ruin the class at this point

wise breach
#

I want MfD back

potent pivot
#

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

grave basin
#

Sepsis being gone for sub feels good though

#

Kinda meh button to press

potent pivot
#

I liked Sepsis

grave basin
#

I liked the twirl it did

#

But other than that it's kinda whatever

potent pivot
#

Flag is also going to be 1 minute

#

Which makes it more viable imo

radiant glen
#

at 1 talent point for a 60 sec cd flag who cares if its predictable u just slam it out

potent pivot
#

That’s what I’m thinking yeah

radiant glen
#

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

worthy crag
#

if you dont have deathstalker's mark running, sepsis is pretty far down the priority list

#

always better to SS to apply it

snow schooner
#

ok so i got the boots made what do i spend conquest on

potent pivot
snow schooner
#

assassin atm but i also like sub

radiant glen
potent pivot
#

For assa I’m not 100% sure yet

#

Personally I play both so got badge

potent pivot
#

Either during your first burst window or when you want access to a stealth ability

snow schooner
#

i mean assass still runs badge and medallion right

potent pivot
snow schooner
#

really bet the main stat on death mark i feel like fat

potent pivot
#

Deathmark and KB damage are pretty bad rn

#

The majority of your damage is just spreading bleeds

#

Insignia fits the playstyle better

snow schooner
#

stay saff ill probably jsut buy the helm then

worthy crag
#

its still an insanely good talent

#

just pressig it in the opener is not as good as it used to be

wise breach
#

Just logged into PTR, Tea's still also an active ability

radiant glen
#

wouldnt be on live ptr

radiant glen
wise breach
#

Pretty sure those datamined changes were from the current build

#

The 30 energy threshold is live there

radiant glen
#

well we wait and see and hope it doesnt go passive

wise breach
#

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...

potent pivot
#

oh sorry

wise breach
#

No, I know that, I just mean design wise

potent pivot
#

you're making an observation of that fact

wise breach
#

Yeah

potent pivot
#

mb

#

yeah i don't like that

#

it's weird

wise breach
#

I guess we get more frequent access to it

jolly sierra
#

just confirmed

#

if u are crowded af in ur server

potent pivot
#

would rather not advertise something that is likely an exploit

jolly sierra
#

why u deleted my messages trickz?

#

how will be a exploit

#

if is like that since DF

potent pivot
#

idk if it's confirmed that it isn't an exploit somewhere i'll gladly leave it alone

jolly sierra
#

xd

#

well i keep it for myself then

potent pivot
#

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

jolly sierra
#

they are exploiting pve stuff i recall

potent pivot
#

i'm just being careful

jolly sierra
#

well well

potent pivot

and A LOT of pve players are farming pvp right now

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

potent pivot
#

same lmao

#

that's why i'd rather be very careful when it comes to anything that might be considered an exploit

Well lobbies have turned into who can kill the healer first

potent pivot

Yeah it has too much grey/silver not enough black tbh

stoic spruce

all the rogues will be wearing it for like a week lol

We can wear the original in protest

I don’t like the leather aspirant stuff as much

#

But it’s way better than recent aspirant sets

stoic spruce
#

gives Eldorado

potent pivot
#

The plate aspirant/wpvp sets are insanely good

#

Better than some of the plate tier sets imo

i had constant framing drops or cooling issues

azure rapids
#

Seems like most Outlaws have gotten Shoulders and Chest pieces for 2 set,on Murlokio

#

is that correct?

orchid plinth
potent pivot
#

you've got no way of knowing what spec they're gearing for or if they're just testing different things

azure rapids
#

cool, thanks

potent pivot
#

most rogues have went 2p for assa/sub

#

buying shoulders from conq vendor->catalysting them and using their 1.6k tier token on legs

azure rapids
#

outlaw tier 2 piece sounds good though 😛 15% dmg increase as shadow

#

but will refrain from converting anything

potent pivot
azure rapids
#

so i guess il use conquest to get shoulders 1.6 for pants, maybe use 175 to craft a second piece,i guess

azure rapids
#

this whole gearing process is a bit overwhelming at the start

potent pivot
#

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

azure rapids
#

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" ?

potent pivot
#

crafting requires multiple heraldries

azure rapids
#

i have 9

#

so it`s better two use conquest to buy two pieces?

potent pivot
#

well you use heraldries to craft 2 pieces

#

and conquest to buy 2 pieces

azure rapids

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

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

whya haste to 15

dull bridge
#

i'd kill myself if i'm playing without blade rush

grave basin

Cause you want 25% haste to make up one lost global in AR

weak comet

inland thorn
#

isn't it 8-10 if playing with take em

grave basin
#

You get 15% baseline then 10% every time you rtb

i also played around with trickster after figuring out that KS was basically mandatory

grave basin
#

Trickster is ass

dull bridge
#

coup gcd lockout just ruins that spec

grave basin
#

The gcd lock is so bad

dull bridge
#

everything else is great. coup even has a 15 yd dash built into it

grave basin
#

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

dull bridge
#

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

grave basin
#

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

inland thorn
#

Wait

#

You shouldn't need haste this high

grave basin

!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.

dull bridge
#

it's 10%, you get 10 from take em and 5 from alacrity for 25

grave basin
#

In full honor gear you're at 15% haste

#

Unless you want to take mastery for some reason

idle sundial
#

You guys playing sub or sin in solo bg?

inland thorn
#

Yeah 10% makes more sense

#

In pve 8-10% is the target value

grave basin
#

What if I want cold blood

inland thorn
#

Idk why in pvp it'd be different

grave basin
inland thorn
#

I like KS but I'll probably drop it

grave basin

Dropping KS is a sin

inland thorn
#

If I go fatebound no reason to keep

grave basin
#

Like actually illegal

?? It does big dam

#

And breaks you out of roots

I can probably deal the same damage if I press buttons

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?

The game doesn't tell you that

By playing the game

You go in the pvp area and take the quest that's literally all there is to it

potent pivot
steel scarab
#

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

inland thorn
#

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

steel scarab
#

Okay I mean, I've been 80 for a week and the game hasn't mentioned pvp yet lol

inland thorn
#

You don't have to go anywhere else you don't even need sparks

I've been to Dornogol!

#

I didn't see the pvp area

inland thorn
#

Skill issue

orchid plinth

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 kekdog

Well I see people in world pvp with 6 million hp to my 3 million, so I figured I'm undergeared

So I figured I'd wait til I'm geared, just

dull bridge
steel scarab
#

The game doesn't explain how to like, do that

drowsy dagger
#

how are these keybindings?

inland thorn
#

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

steel scarab
#

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"

orchid plinth
#

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

steel scarab
#

Right, I guess the fallacy was, I shouldn't queue when I have half the hp of my opponents

inland thorn
#

Okay? If you were really interested you'd look for it

#

Even if you only do pve you go there for training dummies

steel scarab
#

Because I'm unprepared

#

How crazy of me lol

orchid plinth
#

Because you didn't prepare kekdog

#

Skill issue

dull bridge
# steel scarab The game doesn't explain how to like, do that

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.

potent pivot

Even pve gear scales up in pvp

#

Like

#

It’s such a non issue atm

steel scarab

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

inland thorn

Insane take on my part

#

I do apologize

orchid plinth
#

(They don't because they hate PvP hehe xD)

potent pivot
#

I think we’re bitching for no reason right now

#

Gotta be honest

orchid plinth
#

Yes 🫡

inland thorn
#

That's my point lmao

#

Pvp gearing is extremely easy and anyone who says otherwise is coping

outer sky
#

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

orchid plinth
#

Modern MMOs like WoW are lobby and Google based OMEGAKEKW

#

You sit in the city and google shit

inland thorn
#

You just have to play pvp and spend to pvp currency in the pvp vendor

inland thorn
steel scarab
#

Is it unreasonable to feel like I shouldn't be queueing for pvp before I've bought any pvp gear? Honest question

orchid plinth
#

Get honor gear before queuing rated PvP

dull bridge
#

probably shouldnt if you dont like dying over and over

potent pivot
#

all gear scales up in pvp instances

steel scarab
#

I don't like getting stomped by a gear gap, no

steel scarab
inland thorn
#

That's how it's always been with honor farming

potent pivot
#

who cares about wpvp

steel scarab
#

So that's MEGA unintuitive

nova viper
potent pivot
#

if you want honor you usually queue right

inland thorn
#

Wpvp isn't a metric to go by lmao

#

Wpvp depends on numbers, exploits and consumables

#

It doesn't depend on your actual skill

steel scarab
#

I'm not saying I CARE, I'm saying how TF was I supposed to know that?

potent pivot
#

you don't need to know it

#

you just queue and bam you find out

orchid plinth
#

The easiest way to reason about wow nowadays is: if you want gear for X go do X.

potent pivot
#

literally everyone has to start out somewhere

#

we're all doing the same thing

steel scarab
#

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

inland thorn
#

It's like going into a dungeon and complaining that you're getting gapped in dmg by someone who has farmed his gear

potent pivot
#

it just doesn't matter for unrated

#

everyone has to start somewhere to earn honor

#

that's what unrated pvp is there for

steel scarab
#

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?

orchid plinth
#

It's scales up to help, but to to an even level

potent pivot
#

lower end gear scales to like 600ish

#

not to full honor gear level

steel scarab
#

Wouldn't it be better if everyone just like, scaled to the same level and we could skip the dumb bullshit unrated nonsense

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?

outer sky
#

I have 404 bloody tokens. How can I get 121 more real quick to buy a cloak?

steel scarab
#

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?

potent pivot
outer sky
#

I cant can I

#

why does everything have to be timegated wtf

potent pivot
#

oof

steel scarab
#

Fun detected

#

Where do we spend the bloody tokens? Dornogol? I also have about 400, just barely any honor

outer sky
#

the dude in the middle

steel scarab
#

Gotcha

inland thorn
steel scarab
#

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

What gives

potent pivot

#

That must've recently been hotfixed

potent pivot
#

definitely isn't doing top dmg

outer sky
#

It was doing crazy damage

potent pivot
#

it's probably nerfed in pvp or something

#

because it's still bis in pve

#

maybe it was bugged on beta

#

who knows

potent pivot
#

ascendance is probably crap for sub

tender ember
#

yea but he likes to test stuff out

#

and he was playing other than meta embelishment too in df s4

potent pivot
#

the problem is ascendance gives all 4 stats on rotation

#

you can make weapon grip give only mastery

outer sky
#

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.

tender ember
#

this combo is from nahj, who i guess i trust even tho he is us and sub main

potent pivot

and duskthread lining is guaranteed versa

even Whaazz practically copied everything Nahj did

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

its not only mine

I think he means if nahj was from EU would you trust him more

potent pivot

keep your weird opinions to yourself

and not in here

tender ember
#

who are u to limit me lol

#

and why u decide which opinion is weird

outer sky
#

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

nahj went 2x dusk

tender ember
#

for sub

grave basin
#

Why would you go other than that for sub

tender ember
#

"*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"

potent pivot
#

he's only been playing sub

grave basin
#

How is that surprising

tender ember
#

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

potent pivot
#

i don't think nahj has even tested that

#

he was playing ascendance as sub on 2nd rogue

#

afaik

outer sky
#

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

potent pivot
#

dusk is 5k per

#

if ascendance ends up being incorrect, that's 20-30k i didn't recommend someone waste

tender ember
#

u need quality 1 which is 500g

potent pivot
#

i'm not about to recommend someone spend 20k on something i don't know for a fact is bis

tender ember
#

it scales with pvp ilvl

outer sky
#

If it scales with ilvl then why do the ranks exist to begin with

tender ember
#

pve

potent pivot
#

even r1 is more than 500g here

#

also

outer sky
# tender ember pve

So the effect has a fixed number per rank on pve gear but scales with ilvl on pvp gear regardless of rank?

potent pivot
#

most ppl aren't even making dagger this week

#

so it won't matter

inland thorn
#

You need rank 3

#

The other mats don't matter

You w0t m8

grave basin
abstract breach
#

Oh so maybe we can buy rank 1s? Because rank 3s are expensive as hell

grave basin
#

Rank of anything didn't matter

#

It all scales to the max in instanced pvp

tender ember
#

yea

grave basin
#

As long as you're using the trophy

inland thorn
#

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

grave basin
#

That's only on the tooltip

#

In the actual game it does
