https://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=895/stormshroud-armor @spring bough try this
im in the process of farming the blackened defias ensemble lol
i love that xmog
So essentially, when he inevitably ibfs the kidney, preferably vanish but I suppose you can swap and then hit him with the ol kidney/smoke bomb wombo combo and disarm at low health So he can't deathstrike.
but as panda tbh i think some stuff just fits better
I just vanish the ibf
Tbh
If he's bad you can pummel through but I wouldn't recommend
I have the OG ZG shoulder mog for this 🔥
Zandalari mad cap
damn i hope to have that stuff in retail
ive got the OG gloves by buying the boe recipe before was buyable by npc, costed me a lot i recall
God I love smoke bomb
it isn't required for outlaw
at all
:d
oh thats an oof
Trickster is pretty fun. Didn't realise coup has a charge.
Makes up for no blade rush
Reminds me of monks queefers.
I thought you had to be engineering profession for that?
PvP crafting has engi similar ones w the tinker slot
got the message but bruh
No engineer needed. I got the verse bracers made
i will keep that there
Nothing in rated 😂
Just so I could get more verse out of bracers
ah ok
btw how are you guys farming your honor for sockets? Bg blitz does not seem to give as much honor as I expected it would
Epics for me
arena
Arena and blitz. I got probably two yesterday playing lol
does shuffle work? my arena partner is out of town rn
They say arena because they lose ebgs
im just doing dailies and passively pushing in blitz
That’s what I’ve been doing
if i get 1k6 for this week its done
is blitz harder than shuffle?
oh nice, maybe should do it to get ez tier
do we sell the vicious bloodstones
there are way too much casuals in blitz rn
or the thing u buy when u have 3 vicious bloodstones and 5000 honor
Should craft blue neck / rings too to socket them all. Then just recraft to epic down the road
to socket smething
but tbh
so far I found climbing in arena way easier but I also know absolutely nothing about RBG strats so I suck hard at blitz lol
from 8 matches, ive just lose 2
blitz is crazy rn mmr wise
with the first 2 being lit in start
1700cr and 2700mmr games
they don't come with free sockets anymore though right?
i'm like 22-5 but still
the cr is baaaad ya
cant blizzard make a better matchmaking system?
ask riot
Nope. But since you can upgrade them with a recraft to conq don’t need to resocket once done
right that makes sense
I went all haste/verse for now on them might recraft w other stats depending on what gear I go
but even winning 2700mmr games i only get like +24, not even the +29 that used to be max iirc
solo arena felt the fastest to 1.6k for me
Solo def faster than blitz
Arena
2s/3s
rated?
wrist craft or?
plz update me on embellished for pvp
Ya
anyone plz
i feel like random epic bg also gives alot
The FCs that use bots to pickup flags in blitz gotta get the ban hammer lol
Check the gear faq linked in the pins
They probably spam F
That's what I do.
Yeah they just take way longer
Ive been attempting to follow the gearing guide in Pins and have a few questions if anyone can help.
I need to use storm charged leather, and I know theres different qualities, my friends told me the quality of the mats doesn't matter cause I can upgrade my gear later.
But this sounds confusing to me lol. Can anyone elaborate
I’ve farmed an honor cap per day easily in 3s
have u done some this expa? feels like they go p fast heh
oh okay
wait there is an honor cap :p
Ye I have
cause ur winning ^^
ah u mean the 15k capacity right?
Ye
Quality doesn’t matter
thanks
The gear scales to pvp ilvl in pvp regardless. The quality of the mats is for PvE ilvl only
The mats, embellishments, etc. can all be rank 1
The only quality r3 thing u need is enchants
Because those are added after the craft and not affected by the pvp ilvl scaling
Thank you
Also true yeah
If you’re not winning a good amount of matches it definitely slows it down
been trying to get my casual buddy to 1.6. he usedh is catalyst on boots. the struggle is real

Lmao
No, I mean I think duel triggers that too.
i might have done this XD
is it that bad
^didnt
did legs
then you just use the 1.6k token on another piece, nbd
its ok tho, buy shoulders w the token
yupp thats what i did
solo arena is the fastest to 1.6 k tho right
thats what im feeling rn atleast
I was busting so much ass in SS, then randomly I logged in one day and around 1550 I got dogwalked all the way back down to 1400.
but like outlaw doesnt have any burst at all right
its just constant dmg
KS does a bit ig
I was waiting for the shoe to drop, for me to realize why Outlaw is the meme spec, but it just happened overnight. Just one day they decided to start focusing me over the other guys, for my damage to not quite chunk them down low enough anymore, just lots of bad shit and it just didn’t work out.
I mean, that’s what they say, but AR BtE Vanish windows are pretty cash money.
Yeah, I secured a lot of kills with that.
But I just logged out one day, logged in the next and everything I did just stopped working. 
u mean when u duel the mage if the rof is active it disappears as well?
i struggle in solo arena just bcz some random dude is kinda afk with defensives and gets oneshotted
And then he turns into a livelord when he’s on the opposite team. 
YES
and when i get someone low the other dps focuses some random thing and healer gets him to full hp
its annoying
I had a Frost Mage who was an unkillable god amongst men, then when he was on my team I’m like awww yeah, let’s fuck em’ up!
XD
.. And he flops with no Block.
I had a match where I swear the MW had Life Cuckoon available every single time I was about to kill the dude.
I had to stop and type in /say WHAT THE FUCK just outta frustration. 
I know the enemy can’t understand it, but it made me feel better. 
XDDD
I’m still not rerolling Outlaw, I rolled Rogue TO play Outlaw this expansion, so I’ll figure something out.
you need to have engineering yeah
i don't think you need engi goggles with versa unless you're playing assa maybe
outlaw/sub are tankier
engi goggles cannot become tier, right?
nop
don't think any crafted pieces can be tier
Does haste for sub ruin rotation or smth like is this really bad?
or sub hates haste cuz it's not valuable
because it's not gear earned from seasonal stuff
that's how it's always been with catalyst. it has to be dungeon/raid/conquest items from vendor
are you actually using that addon 
ye the upgrade part
looks like Pawn or something
but haste in general doesn't have a lot of interaction for sub
rupture pad mostly?
and trinket procs which we don't use and mastery + autoattack I guess

#showtooltip
/cast [known:328305] Sepsis; [known:323654] Flagellation
is there a better way to do this? also spellIDs are wrong where do I get?
if they change every patch or smth then should think another way
try wowhead
it's like 1800 rn
its also week 1 and everyone is queuing fotm
so don't feel bad
make sure you actually play all your placement games
climbing from 0 takes a bit
why cant i have this shit
yeahhh
i guess
this tank war has 2x my hp and 100x my dmg :)
cuz u need to do more arm workout
Currently farming coins of air for a red bandana mog 😂
that worth it believe me
lul
“I wanna report this war for queuing prot” 😂 blitz chat never fails
People are ruthless
XDDD
Prot doesn’t even want to flag carry he said 😂
what bout protadins in SS
The worst
ye its trolling
So Im looking for a stronk pvp spec, is sub, ass or outlaw the way to go now? Where do I find a decent guide?
Mostly been playing healers but feels like I need to give this a go
I had a whiney feral druid in a blitz earlier decide it was already over after the first fight and spent the rest of the game spamming chat to report one of the healers
nice a free 4-2
BG blitz not shuffle
Sadly thats not how blitz work 😄
so we just lose lmao
I don't hink sub is op anymore
they buffed so many specs
feral is the op shit
and destro even in right comp
Feral op?
feral is an S tier spec and somehow gets buffs every week 🤣
My druid is resto tho :I
worse
YEah wont be playing resto, tierd of healing.. I wanna do dmg 😄
because I hate rdruid, rdruid is good
I have to imagine it must be rough to be rdruid rn with prev and disc running around everywhere
Yeah.. Anyhow, rogue. Which spec to have FUN in BG/BGblitz/2s and SS?
was there ever a point to elvui?
https://youtube.com/shorts/F9ra9F64q_0?si=3XncmC6a7u22obXr should give this to outlaw tbh
So solo pvp, sub,outlaw or ass?
Any
Yes
This game sucks lmao. Internet been out the last ten minutes right as I got in a game……. 200 rating gone
Optimum can suck one
Question, isnt CoS supposed to remove dieseases as well?
Yes
any reason why it doesnt?
That is normal
ye that is normal
hey guys if ur focusin on pve , i should use my sholder for a tier set piece right ?
like im wasting it on catalyst if ur more of a pve player?
Greetings
guys can anyone tell me whats the addon that shows the spell i used , i dont mean weakaura
it shows like ads
ads?
Yall been noticing our melee dmg is pretty decent right now??
or rupture
Trufigcd
Wait no
Wait yes? I think
Does he not have !addons on his channel
Try using it in his chat usually bit streamers have it to show you what they’re using
prot war is clapping me in solo smh
Having fun with smoke bomb this afternoon too @stoic spruce
Just got a mage KOd in 15 seconds off the match start cause of it lol
I only spit facts
facts!
Guys, as an Assa what would you buy first with conquest?
I'm thinking legs, but I'm not quite sure :/
rogs who use one shot macros are so nice to fight against
1 dismantle is all it needs
seems like those macros doesnt work properly
go on drustvar
see what the r1 assas are doing
Yeah, thats the thing, they all have different pieces xD
shii..
I'll buy ring first, it is giving the most stats after that I'll figure it out
its either shoulder leges
or legs chest
it seems
i wouldnt buy rings thats wrong iirc
craft two of these instead
Thx for the advise, I'll check on that then!
this elo hell rbg is unplayable xd
wtf how
i played 24 games solo and NON of them was even close, either one or the other way xD
i tried
Guys, I came back to the game I'm a little lost about pvp tier sets. As far as I know you can improve any epic pieces on the catalyst to get a set piece, but checking the top ranks they already have 2 pieces. Could u tell me how??
ya im barely above 1400 and the other team was 1900. no points lost i guess though
when you hit 1600 you get a token that can be traded for a tier piece + buying 1 piece with conquest

2's and shuffle seems to be the way to go to get there quick. blitz mmr discrepancy and the amount of time each game takes is a bit of a slog
Thx for the advise, I'll do that then 'cause I already have 1 piece and I'd like to get the bonus, tho I did something stupid to get out of my ignorance, but well nothing I can do about it now xD
Awh yeah cloak cap beats the caster for 5 cap on AB
didnt know wed get a quest with the crafted stuff and ive been buying it...
would u guys play dismantle vs ww?
hmn
what if the team has a mage
or spellcaster
u cloak the disarm and its bananas
What better option is there
can u time well the disarm?
if u wanna go against mages try manuv
idk i see karma and i disarm
or serenity i guess
is that not effective against them?
manuv?
ah ok
manuviebrality or whatever is written in english
lol
decreases ur cd in sprint by 30s, but reduced the duration
ye
fk they nerf it
they did, ye
but even like shit can do something
however would say we need more than ever old manuv
yeah maybe ill give it a try
k
like it or not this is peak combat rogue
Couldn't beat this Prot Warrior in a fair fight and was feeling salty until I remembered I'm a rogue.
Just hid in stealth and ganked everyone in that PvP area at low HP until I finished my daily.
i used to do that w my lvl 60 twink assaulting ppl in hellfire
I'm so salty I played since OG WoW and this is the first time I played rogue.
Like.. I could've had all this two decade ago. 
oof
are solo queues still dogshit 15+ minutes?
yup
thx, glad I cancelled my sub lol
que 15minutes get into mines then alliance spawn camp
and horde all wearing pve gear
honestly I don't even know why crafted gear is also part of pvp gearing
bg blitz is 3-4 min for me on my hunter
crafted gear was only 30-40k
How is it possible that I'm conquest capped and behind on the weapons quest?
pretty cheap
I haven't been able to pop a single queue this whole week, I'm not gonna wait 20+ minutes lol
probably you got some conquest before you accepted the wep q
ah it doesnt count towards it damn
Have you done some games already on bg blitz? it only is that long for the first few games because of mmr
It should, but modern blizz devs are utter dogshit and don't care about pvp
Nope, haven't even popped the first game, it's litearlly at least 30+ minutes, I tried a few times, but I'm not gonna just sit here waiting for a queue
if they did killing spree wouldnt make my camera send me to china
and coup wouldnt be 1.25 gcd or whatever bs it is
yeah unfortunately the 1st game takes very long because the system struggles to find other ppl
I'm sure after a few queue pops and 2+ hours later it will drop down to 15 minutes per pop, but that's just crazy
cuz it isnt intended to be done at week 1
its intended to be done at week 3
my question was how I could have less conquest towards the quest than Ive earned this week
but someone explained it
That Zandalara dude yelling AHHHHHH?! in that arena gets me so f'n hyped.
because was accepted after?
I don't know if this is already addressed in the Pins somewhere. But as a returning player I'm not exactly sure what the best consumables I should be using for pvp.
I assume I'll want some sort of health potions.
It used to be everyone could do first aid. It seems you have to be a Taylor to use it now. should I pick up tayloring? Can rogues still blind + first aid in arenas and BGs?
yo are we gonna end up crafting anything else besides helm and dagger?
i waisted conquest on the Heraldry's D:
3 rogues for 3s 😂
we dont use consumables
using bandage doesnt requires tailoring, just the craft
u can still blind and bandage but is not really a big or crucial deal
People on the forums are still whinig about rogues
imagine having a problem with rogues when theres so much other actually broken shit in this game right now
Bandage for the win
Look how unbelieveably shit the WW tier set us
tiger palm is the WW equivilent of mutilate btw
all of em are
are u sure?
yes
wtf did they forgot that
it must be intentional or itd have been hotfixed by now
Then u can farm for more later for new cq gear
lmao you mad lads are actually queuing triple rogue. Love it
We may not be winning
I think you underestimate how little blizzard pays attention to pvp lol
But we sure are getting a ton of honor
Better not be winning or we're getting nerfed 🤣
XD
Does anyone know if I need to provide new Heraldry for a PvP piece recraft?
is there any way to interact flags or capture points without mouse button
because i accidentally right click to enemy player near the flag and auto attack
Won’t need to crafted all my jewelry so just gotta upgrade. Conq helm + crafted belt and bracers too lol
How are we adding gems to stuff rn ?? Is there a tww version of the tiered medallion setting ?
Finally got the crafting part down now these gems
yeah its at the honor vendors. just need a bunch of honor to get them
My tummy hurt
@jolly sierra seeeexo
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ahhh i see now 2500 for the bloodstone
They are also on the AH for 10k a piece
Wait a minute …..
You missed out
you missed out
they were 15k on Day 1
almost got 3s rogues to 1600 LOL
when we get the token for 1600, do we turn a piece of glad gear into our 2nd tier piece or is do we trade it at a vendor?
You trade for a tier piece at a vendor in City of Threads
There are two vendors. One has PvP gear and the other has PvE gear
just saw a devoker hit a 2.5m instant on a target with 30% wall
flameshaper is flying under the radar since everyone is playing scalecommander
I think if someone kidnapped me and said if I don't beat a frost mage in a 1v1 my family are executed, I'm pretty sure they'd get executed, christ
So I crafted the angari wrists and boots. Got conquest shoulders and used the catalyst to make them my tier. And bought purple gloves with my blood marks from world pvp.
The rest of my pvp gear ATM is forged green honor gear.
What do I do with my honor points moving forward? What am I supposed to buy with my honor at this stage? The mystery box that costs 3500?
can't you buy sockets or something with honor nowadays?
these guys
that's the one
there's a gearing guide linked in the pins
you do not
unless you're upgrading it to a different heraldry level
is there ever a time i would take both Sepsis & Flagellation?
nah
we don't really run flag at all because of how easy it is to counter
cool, do you know if there are any other things like that where i can probs just combine them in my binds?
i don't think so nah
also which abilities are usually recommended to keep separate with mouse/keyboard? is Shadow Dance/Symbols being on diff ones important since they are off GCD?
i currently have shadowstep on mouse1 and dance on mouse2
that's just personal preference
i have dance/symbols/blades/badge/tea all on keyboard binds
which binds out of interest?
that sounds like a lot to press all at once
it looks like for rogue having cold blood/blades/symbols/dance/badge all near together on mouse would be ideal
we rarely ever use cold blood
dance-q
symbols-e
blades-r
badge-alt-q
tea-t
you don't press them all at once
you press certain onces while waiting on your GCD to roll over
!build
check the pins
3 weeks 
There is just one tier set bonus right? And that works in both pve and pvp? If that is the case can you get it on pvp gear other than using the catalyst?
only catalyst yeah (and token)
You only get it on pvp scaling gear from catalyzing conquest pieces and from the 1.6k rating token
forgot about the token. but yeah no vault this expansion (thank god)
Thanks for clarifying, gives me more insight on how to potentially use the catalyst the first few weeks.
Are people crafting a weapon with their free marks of heraldry or just waiting for the free ones in week 3?
Also is there a buying order guide for sub?
both, and there's a guide linked in the pins
I see. So likely boots + x. I’ll probably just put my embelish on those then
You can also use blue heraldries on other pieces and embellish those, like bracers for example
does recrafting embelished gear require more heraldries
Only if upgrading it
Like from blue to purple heraldries would cost purple heraldries
okay so if i craft a 639 piece with some embelishment, then wanna swap that embelishment it doesnt take more heraldries
Nope
cool that takes pressure off
Just costs gold
yee
Also
You gotta find someone specifically to recraft
You can’t public order a recraft
n my opener do i hit sepsis in shawdance
in pvp
usually in a blades opener yeah
other than that you kinda press whenev
do i hit it with blades or after blades in dance
why rupture in dance?
because it does dmg
i usualy put up rupture then hit all my cooldowns is that bad?
that's not bad
you just want it up as much as you can
i like to send it with the cp from First Dance
if it's not already on the target

ye ai think i kinda spam cheap shot to much before i do my opener
i literally just started today
maybe i just go straight into dance do the rupture like you said and spam cheap shot while doing it
there's a lot of different ways to do things
and rotations are very situational
don't lock yourself into doing the same thing always
yea
but that's still harder for a beginner imo
almost everything is good with a healer
alright yea it would be a good way tto practice is firs tplay with healer
the biggest understanding step when I started playing rogue was that you shouldn't cheap shot somebody just because you can. sometimes you panic/get overzealous and just cheap shot the whole team and then you don't have DRs to play around for the next 20 seconds. think of your stun DR as a resource.
do i need to worry about putting up slice and dic ein the opener ?
not in the very first opener but yeah it's important to have it up
alright
Ran through the lobby on the last round 
Warlock died through all of the priest's DR + his own defensives
and thats my damage cleaving off of the warlock through all the DRs
DK tried to peel, lock used all their CCs
no 5 buff roll
you seen any of the big name outlaws popping off
trying to get in those games prenerf i guess
getting better on my opener
after we get 4p i think outlaw is still gonna be decent
but after seeing the nerfs i'm sure it's going to drop off in popularity
jesus.
Is there anyone streaming outlaw that's really going ham? I want to try it, but need to actually see it being done well first. Every outlaw I see in the wild I know is playing it wrong lol
wish i kept the addon helped me spot higher ilvl items in bags
or is there a better one?
look up valthepirate on twitch right now
homie is playing it
hell yeah, thanks
i just use baganator i think
can make it show ilvl on items
i think Pawn is okay to use if you're keeping everything updated but i'm not sure
when i raided i just simmed myself for everything
yeah i had it break my stealth from a vanish reset that cost me 1 game so far
you just have to be careful not to blind your Marked target
really gotta pay attention to marked target
nah i gotta hop on that
lemme show ya something
you can pick and choose any and all debuffs/buffs to emphasive
the dots also glow red for pandemic
Damn that’s sick
idk if i can go back to playing without it ngl
the big ass kidney on the right side
is from bigdebuffs
that also shows enemy CDs and defensives
has it's own priority list that you can customize as well
can you share your profile for it
i haven't customized bigdebuffs yet at all
all i did was turn on the nameplate part
this
for betterblizzplates i'm using Magnusz' profile that comes with the add on
with a couple tweaks
but i'm not done tweaking, there's a lot more i want to do to it
you can filter every buff in the game
with betterblizzframes as well
Pain
gonna give it a go
My BTE bugged out so many times
you can filter every buff and hide them
were you casting it from stealth?
i just had WA's / omnicc for tracking dots but that they glow green n shit looks nice
oof
ie no cast
yeah can't do that yet
yeah i just don't like WAs
like i use them for enemy CDs n shit
but i don't like the big WA HUDs
i got a new PC recently so it took me like.. a full day to get the WAs how i liked since i didn't save my old profile 😐
oof
there's so many options in this betterblizz plates though holy
trying out magnusz
o boi
and the stacking of the betterblizzplates is weird
makes it hard for me to find the DK's fucking plate
but i'm trying to figure out what to change for that
trying to find the combo point part
turn it on in blizz settings
my personal resource display isn't showing for some reason
but the cp show on target like i want so fuck it
I still don’t get how ppl play without CPs on targets
ah ya ment these ones on the target, not sure i dig it
well i don't play with big WAs
so it's either that, personal resource display, or i have to look at my own frame which i do not like doing
makes sense
i try to focus my attention on nameplates > gladius > omnibar > target frame > focus frame
not in any particular order
i tried to chop down most of the stuff in the WA. i still plan on doing some pve stuff
I need trinket back on nameplate. Nameplatecctrinket hasn’t been updated 
Is there an option on there
naw gladius just shows trinkets
Worst thing with WA I spotted when I tried to set up was that charges based abilities like vanish or tea looks like they are on CD when you use one charge
That confused me too much
well they show that it's on CD but also show the charge count
they're very customizable as well
Yeah they still show the charge, but default blizz UI just shows the “edge” rotating thing on the icon without graying them out
Yeah I have Gladius but I got used to nameplatecctrinket showing everyone’s trinket and I had way more awareness
you can make WAs not grey out if it's charges
you can make em look exactly like blizzard icons do
can customize basically every aspect though, unlike blizzard's bars
i feel like you need to be looking at gladius anyway. it shows CC DRs, this is insanely important
I bet you can but I didn’t find it out quick enough to care about WA UIs anymore 😅 ability bar works out for me since I’m used to it for years now. Idk why I always try to change UI stuff 😂
Yo I had no idea outlaw was actually pumping. Every single one I've seen got rolled over in zero time.
Definitely trying it now.
yeah i mean i don't like them either, i'm just throwing it out there
i make my own WAs for procs and shit
like Darkest Night
Yeah I created some helpful stuff I felt I could need like subterfuge window
outlaw is difficult for a lot of people, but yes it's really good rn
a lot of rogues use dance uptime and subt uptime icons
either from WAs or from TellMeWhens
after tinkering with it a bit things are looking up. emphasizing mark and some other stuff is real nice
it also emphasizes totems really well
i swear once i figure out how to hide all the DK pets it'll be perf
it's not just adding the names of the dk pets to "hide npc"?
guess you wouldn't wanna hide "all" but seems like it'd be on this tab
yeah
you'd enter the names in the bar at the bottom
you definitely don't want to hide all because of shit like Psyfiend i think
there's some stuff you need to change to show only from yourself as well
like in case you q into another rogue in shuffle or on your blitz team etc
i blacklisted wound stacks
yours is showing it here
if i really need to see wound stacks i can see them on the target frame

Maybe this works for those dk pets?
well we're using betterblizzplates
so not sure if that'd work
bicmex uses KUI nameplates iirc
Fair enough. Then I have no clue. 😄
you can also customize this. heavily.
like if you want to never see a buff/debuff again
you ctrl+shift+right click it or something
and it black lists
sweet
i don't remember the exact combination of buttons to do it
I just redid my entire Ui for the most part so nows the time to change shit while im still getting use to it
I'm using the other profile. Bit to many buffs/debuffs visible for my taste.
Magnusz was going through every buff in the game on stream the other day
but i don't know if that got ported to his profile on the add on or not
i don't think it has been yet
What should my first conquest purchase be?
there's a gear FAQ linked in the pins
all cuz author of the my fav addon i used forever stopped updating in dragonflight had to redo everything with WAs 
I fell in love with betterblizz addons from the start, the PvP perspective from the dev is noticeable and it doesn’t eat so much memory. Always had problems with plate addons before in that regard.
which addon?
Boomkinator
i'm pretty sure the betterblizz stuff is authored by one of Nahj's twitch mods, so it makes sense that it has a pvp perspective :d
no idea wtf that is lol
i really like Bicmex's KUI nameplate set up, it's very clean
i've never tried KUI in pvp
ah
for arena how much ping is too much for a rogue to reach rank 1?
i see with the CS spam it gets down to the miliseconds so im unsure
to not leave a gap^ and what not
i don't think ping has much to do with getting r1
there's people from NA that get r1 on EU ladder and vice versa
it very much does, every thing is down to the miliseconds at that level, but rogue is a special case where it matters more
with like 200ping in some cases
so im wondering how much is too much for rogue
i promise you, it doesn't
no way a 200 ping rogue gets rank1 without getting carried
even AWC is played with high ping most of the time
bruh
happens every season
where, id love to be proved wrong on this topic
so ur saying id be fine to play rogue on 120 ping to top of ladder
yes
how..
gotta be some OCE rogues out there that arena
i wouldnt be able to react to stuff quick enough
and i'm pretty sure SA players playing in NA have more than 120 ping
he's an EU rogue
the only thing that really gets fucked up by ping
is hitting/missing kicks
thats so vital lol
it's not a huge difference
but the difference is there
but legit
every season
someone from the opposite region will get r1
playing with high ping isn't awesome, but it's 100% possible to hit r1 with it
there probably is a ping number that would make it impossible to hit r1 though. i wanna see you do it with 100000 ping
wait im in the pvp channel oops sorry
lmao
idk what servers the arena is on in NA it used to be sometimes NA east sometimes na west idk what it is now
because everything that matters is on global
your ping shouldn't necessarily be stopping your cs from going off if you're slamming your GCDs in the proper order
kicking is fucked i tried it on 120 and it says their casting but when i kick it doesnt work on their screen they stopped casting but on mine it still is so its invalidated
your arena instance isn't locked to any server
instances are going to be on one player's home server
so like if you have lead, the instance will either be on your server or the enemy team lead's server
i'm pretty positive
the AWC arenas are different though afaik
those are all on the tournament realm
yeah that'll happen sometimes
it's a bit easier for them to fake your kick if they have much lower ping
but it isn't to such a detrimental degree that it'd stop you from getting r1
if you and your team have the skills, you'll get it
hard stuck at 1100 what to do
for deathstalker Sub rogue are we supposed to actually be using Shuriken Storm or no?
Hi guys, I came back to retail after not having pvpd since WoD except, for classic
Which spec is better for purely shuffle and nothing else?
Fury, Frost 
no, you can ignore the shuriken storm buff from the hero tree
you still storm outside of dance to build combo points sometimes
when you can hit 2+ targets and not break any CC
all 3 are fine for shuffle
THANKS!
does it matter which conquest items I buy first?
And which is more forgiving to someone rusty? Im guessing assa?
check the gearing faq linked in the pins
probably assa or outlaw yeah
outlaw is very fast paced, but not that confusing, not as technical as sub
thanks, makes sense. is there only 1 tier or do pvp and pve have different sets?
there's only 1 tier set, but when you Catalyst conquest gear, it has pvp ilvl scaling
And is assa a cleave specnow? Saw it had a lot of talents that cleaved
is that a tradeoff for better pve stats if you catalysed a pve item?
Naw, all tier has same stats
oh, wild. so there's no downside to just grinding out some conquest points, catalysing, and grabbing a fairly free tier piece?
You mean for PvE or PvP specifically?
Conquest gear has a somewhat low PvE ilvl
We catalyze conquest gear for PvP because in PvP combat it scales to 639 ilvl
Yeah almost every spec in the game tries to cleave in pvp now
ah ok, I'm getting it now. thank you, very new to retail gearing
No worries, I’d recommend looking up some pve/pvp gearing guides on YT. Some of them do a great job of explaining everything.
For the specific items you want to get week 1 of the season for pvp, we’ve got the FAQ
disc just eats my rot dmg
i need to stop mouse clicking duel and bomb
That would be a good idea yeah
In general you want to be using keybinds for every ability, especially in pvp
Reaction time and situational awareness are huge
Only thing you should click is the in game menus
like the logout button after a 0-6 shuffle
this would be bad
in terms of overall gameplay, cos it would lower skill from ppl to pre stuff on ks'd target with predicted bomb
I click shroud in PvE
Not sure I follow
if no gcd u could macro'd ks with bomb- not allowing healer to grip/bark/ps/ any other defensive cd if they predict bomb landing
Btw, I think the reason ascension doesn’t always reset is if you Vanish with 8+ seconds on the buff
yeah thats the point
If you Vanish with under 8 seconds on the buff I think that ends up being a reset on the stacks
ye thats why ppl saying duel is toxic to gameplay
plus spending a global during your stun just to bomb is trash
and was nerfed multiple times
every mechanic u can counter is healthy for game
it would still be counterable
just would make bomb a more reliable win condition instead of what feels like a cheese kill every time
idk i never seen i lost stacks
and going under 8 secs on buff means u already lost combat for a longer period earlier
It definitely happened to me idk
It also just takes fuckin
80 seconds to fully stack
yea, but most games higher arent ending before
Nah not before but
~5 min games are pretty common so far
Haven’t had many games go super damp on my end anyway
u already said duel is not counterable, want same mechanic to bomb, therefore u say now it would be still counterable ; p
Is there a place I can get like imports for omnibar/nameplate/gladius for pvp
I’ve never really pvped before
And my setup looks… bad
I can send you some
when did I say duel isnt counterable?
link that message
More things should be on GCD
we need to stop the powercreep! Bomb is a team ability!
not allowing to do any action= not counterable right? and u agreed to that msg
then u said u duel as soon as u ks so u cant get trolled- trolled kinda means - get pre stuff right?
Changing Vendetta into Deathmark has been the worst thing they’ve ever done to assa 
That's a Mr. Fantastic kind of stretch right there
I think you should be able to counter it by actually playing the mechanic and either AoE healing/CCing or going into the bomb. Not just "oops I gripped a kidney and he happened to bomb it"
just getting lucky
i think its better- it helps proccing execute, and mostly vendetta was dmg los in pvp
the only thing I like about deathmark is the energy regen
I just dislike having one of the only dispellable 2mins in the game + it being a GCD
It’s not a very scary CD at all
Not that Vendetta was much scarier, but yeh
is there even another one?
If you dont bother please Send me too 🙂
death fart
There’s some that are, maybe not 2 min exactly
Dispel/purge/spell steal w/e
it was same with vendetta actually, getting bop'ed tho vendetta was dog anyway, when ppl realised didnt even bother to use anything back in the days ;p
I mean, devil's advocate here, but at least deathmark does everything it's going to do the moment you press it. So against a team without a caut, you could argue it's a high value CD since it doesnt matter if you get CCd on it
dance get ccd the hell out
the first dance always often
need to pop that duel fast
at least vendetta couldnt be removed with anything short of a 5m CD
Idk I just prefer Vendetta
deathmark is gone with a 1m CD and a 25s CD
It’s funny because
Even when we had Vendetta I didn’t like it lmao
Just prefer it over DM
I also liked Exsang a lot
Which is another thing most people hated afaik
rip MfD
2.5+ mil evi will ful vers/mastery gear and set bonus i think
was it played as meta? as i remember it didnt, it was pure dps los
less, forgot we don't do the vers/mastery weapon enchant. not bad on ~8 mil hp pools on fully geared
Whats the better pvp race, UD or BELF? Got both at the same lvl
Both are equally bad
Xd
hi im new to pvp/arenas, i wanna ask who should i focus first? im kinda still confused on this
So horde just sucks then
Depends on the meta I think if many locks and priests undead.
If pallies blood elf
Orc for horde
if you only ever play sub, then orc is fine maybe even BiS. If you play any assa or outlaw though, Nelf is basically required
But also the race is not gonna make or break it if you're not playing on an veeeery high skill level
Yeah but I might as well playit
doesnt race make a minimal difference?
it will for assa and outlaw. a 3rd vanish is not even remotely insignificant.
esp now with 6s subt
How does warbands work? What do I lose if my main is horde but my rogue is ally? Can I send gold and stuff?
Yes but they asked about horde
oh yeah if its horde just pick whatever you like the look of
But yes you should probably go Horde -> Orc, Ally -> Nelf and be done with it
Sooome people play Human for Sub as well? Or is that just because they ahven't swapped yet? 
human is fine for the stats
for sub only gameplay you can make an argument for a lot of races
I think end of the xpac no?
Meh, I might as well just boost a nelf rogue then.
Can warband anything from my druid anyway
yeah because its more stats
Kinda like the opposite of Orc being better now, with the flat boost from Blood Fury?
Big Swofty Macro
Yes
blood fury is a 3.64% damage increase
Oh right, Dark Iron is also flat?
Imagine getting camped by another assa plus lock and u pop that racial
Flat base and more per debuff
In DF I made all my pvp chads s1 dark iron
Should just be Vulpera to make haters hate
And I picked classes that were going to be kill target so I could turn their go into mine and wipe them out in a sec
I was sad at first I went horse now couldn't pick NE
But I like orc racial a lot rn more than NE
At the end of SL it was. It was discovered that it was never actually a dps loss all along.
Yeah like Starlink said I assume now that Assa or Outlaw doesn't have Dance Meld is much more important than before?
Orc stun reduction also fucks

Dance doesn’t matter in that equation
Oh is it just straight up getting a proper restealth?
It’s just the fact you gain dps from meld->stealth
Streamers log in on their orc rogue for duels with other rogues
you can also start FRAPS and say MELD COIL
Loool imagine having a duel rogue
Wdym by focus first? And racials are pretty impactful in pvp.
You can. Faction doesn’t matter for warband
ok its not dps los till dots expires xD
Making them tick faster was really strong tbh
idk, for example im playing 2v2s and idk if to focus the healer or dps first
might be but overall it was dps los if u didnt kill before dots expired cos u had to reaply sooner
Usually CC healer while focusing the dps, depending on what classes/specs they’re playing. But swapping targets will always be good when one presses defensives etc, very situational tbh. You’ll learn these things over time and from watching others play your class as well
Naw
Even in pve it was found that it was a gain
Because the sims around exsang were always jank
Exsang had to be nerfed like 3x before they finally changed it to what it is now
Iirc at the end of SL and even the beginning of DF Exsang was really strong
i decided to focus more on pvp in TWW but damn, its sometimes overwhelming haha
Yeah pvp takes a lot of learning and practice
It’s not like pve where every fight is extremely scripted
You kinda have to learn what every class in the game can do
btw. any1 tested how high % versa is with fully crafted gear?
