lyric onyx

lyric onyx

chrome schooner

chrome schooner

I'm on quite a losing streak right now so the odds are in your favor

#

See, this is free win for your team

indigo hill
#

I have win streaks one week. Losing the next. Then back to winning. Hardest time I've ever had to break away from 1600.

chrome schooner
#

Well, I went from playing 3k1 mmr games yesterday to playing 2k5 ones today somehow :p

grave basin
#

Blitz is cursed I swear

indigo hill
#

Think the mmr is scuffed. Played a 1900 first thing today. Won it. Next one was 1700.

grave basin
#

Are you in placements

#

Like have you finished 25 matches

indigo hill
#

I'm way over that.

grave basin
#

Hmm no clue then

#

Hope they inflate shuffle MMR but I doubt it's happening

indigo hill
#

Seen some complaints about it on the forum as well. In-between all the other complaints. 😂

rustic raptor
#

how are we feeling about Drak rogues ?

grave basin
#

What's there to feel

#

Meld is too good to not use

lyric onyx
chrome schooner
#

it's not only the DH

#

They lost LM mines and mid

#

Sooo

lyric onyx
#

at start balance dru died in like 2 secs to us as mines

chrome schooner
#

Dh too

#

they used defensives on 20%

#

vs 2x feral

Smart players

fallow rune
#

Is Crimson Tempest only used it there's several people around you?

sick wasp
#

Yup that kitty got Whaazz'd

#

''feral is better''

#

my @ss

wicked tide
#

was nasty

#

but hes one of like 5 rogues in the world who can play that effectively as sub

#

wont matter after tuesday, we wont be seeing that level of control/mobility again anytime soon

potent pivot
sick wasp
#

its more on the rogue plays

#

he did crazy cross cc and isolate plays

potent pivot
#

Yeah but without Chan on the lock it doesn’t matter imo

wicked tide
#

chan even said in the interview

sick wasp
#

its a team game anyway yeah

#

in that respect

wicked tide
#

"lock isn't close to stier but whazz enables me to play my class"

sick wasp
#

whaazz completely destroyed the other team

#

it was unbelievable

potent pivot
#

Ye but I don’t think any other lock is as good either

wicked tide
#

chan is insane tho easily best affy lock in the game

sick wasp
#

ofc,he is very very good

#

personally still cant understand how he did the double step play on rezziah

#

like idk

#

im speechless

wicked tide
#

used vanish to reset the step

sick wasp
#

yup its the only thing that makes sense

#

what a scary mfk@r to face in arena

#

watching drake's team now,its my favorite from NA

wicked tide
#

all those outplaysb are gone now thop

#

no more double kicks

#

much longer blind now

sick wasp
#

yup

worthy crag
#

double kick isnt really an outplay

wicked tide
#

blizz literally gutting the shit out of sub rogue and making it a derp class

#

it certainly can be

sick wasp
#

if u can step kick/vanish/step kick again

#

it is an outplay

wicked tide
#

u kick a clone on ur target, then vanish to reset a step and kick a heal

#

the point is not having options

sick wasp
#

u trade cds to stop something

wicked tide
#

and being forced into an extremely scripted way of playing the game

#

and sub is already extremely predictable

#

Were gonna pump for a week, then were gonna get nerfed and go back to being stun bots with no damage and no utility

worthy crag
#

eh sub dmg is fine now

sick wasp
#

i dont think its that simple

worthy crag
#

pretty damn good actually

sick wasp
#

sub is ok

wicked tide
#

yeah but they are buffing our damage by a shitload

#

is hwat my point is

#

were gonna be broken for a week

sick wasp
#

well we will see how it plays out

wicked tide
#

then fixed, with no CDR

worthy crag
#

losing cdr sucks but there's no way the 22.5 sec reduction was going to stay in game

wicked tide
#

i think the real issue is just dumbing it down so much

#

SND auto cast now on eviserate

#

tea is auto cast

worthy crag
#

Yeah but apparently that one is what the community wanted

#

pepole have been crying about snd for literally years

wicked tide
#

yeah im not saying its not a good QOL change

#

were just reducing the skill cap of the spec

sick wasp
#

idk how it will translate for pvp though

wicked tide
#

and making it easier for everyone to play sub

sick wasp
#

like tea might be bad for sub in pvp

#

u want it on demand

worthy crag
#

you can still press it

wicked tide
#

nobody gonna play Tea

sick wasp
#

ik

wicked tide
#

everyone gonna play supercharger

sick wasp
#

but u will zip if u starve

wicked tide
#

tea is dead

worthy crag
#

It'll just be a minor maintenance/get good issue to watch energy to not drop below 30

#

but yeah its a dumb change

sick wasp
#

i dont know that 😅

worthy crag
#

idk about tea being dead though

wicked tide
#

why would u play tea over 10 combo points

worthy crag
#

If ur taking tea, you arleady have 2 points into vigor

#

for 200 energy

wicked tide
#

plus u need the 10 combo poitns to reset dances faster now

worthy crag
#

Im considering dropping tea myself but I don't think it'll be a unanimous 100% drop

wicked tide
#

because u dont get CDR from vanish on htem anymore

#

it will be

#

trust me

sick wasp
worthy crag
#

ur literally gonan be autoing totems and psyfiends

wicked tide
#

otherwise your dance recouperation reset time is going to be so slow

worthy crag
#

and never have enough energy to backstab a offtarget or healer

#

playing 100 energy is more misreable than most ppl remember

#

I mean, getting two/three 10 combo finishers for CDR purposes isnt much different than having energy to backstab/rupture/evis during offtime

wicked tide
#

plus with 3 charges of symbols now

#

that replaces tea

#

it just sucks they gutted the class

worthy crag
#

Yeah, it'll just be a bit annoying to have to pop symbols sometimes out of a dance window

#

just to kill minions

wicked tide
#

im all about change but its just sad that they went about things this way and really haven't communicated anything to us on what they want out of sub rogue

worthy crag
#

Post patch, the only thing that will leave the class gutted is the months-old kidney shot CD change imo

#

losing CDR is kinda w.e if we still had 20 sec kidney

wicked tide
#

yes i agree galb it woulnd't be as bad

#

but its a thing so

#

it dones't matter

worthy crag
#

it looks like they want us to have more consistent damage

#

and less things that are hard to track

wicked tide
#

which is lame

#

theres like 45 specs in the game

#

every spec doens't need to be accessible for everybody

#

its the everybody gets a trophy mentality

worthy crag
#

oh I don't think sub will be accessible any more than it is with the change

#

ppl gotta admit that shadowdust is incredibly degenerate gameplay rn

wicked tide
#

it will be its much more linear now

worthy crag
#

they just pop blades cloak evasion one go and get it back the next 55 seconds

wicked tide
#

but theres not alot of sub rogues in arena man, only blitz

#

because u have to be insane to play it properly

#

ur gonna see way more sub rogues now mark my words

worthy crag
#

that's always been the case, even when sub is good. Rogue is just not a very popular class and sub is not a very popular spec

#

shadowdust has nothing to do with it

#

sub was unpopular long before that existed too

#

eh I doubt that

#

The current shadowdust makes it way easier to play sub than it has been

wicked tide
#

no way, because it makes it much less obvious on what to do

#

when u have as many options

worthy crag
#

esp with deathmark resetting shadowstep CD by 3 seconds every finisher

potent pivot
wicked tide
#

tricks u could be right

worthy crag
potent pivot
#

Imo tea is better than alac/deeper

worthy crag
#

that's what I was theorycrafting

wicked tide
#

yea alacrity is useless for sub

worthy crag
#

But, to get the THIRD combo point you do need to drop tea.

#

Keeping tea, you only get 2 extra.

wicked tide
#

so u lose 2 combo points

#

which doens't seem worth

#

but maybe to keep the spec smooth

worthy crag
#

no, 1

#

Currently we are at 7

sick wasp
#

drake's team is such a nice team man

worthy crag
#

dropping deeper goes to 6, 2 extra points makes us at 8 with symbols

sick wasp
#

prev is a chad

worthy crag
#

I agree shadowdust can offer a lot of options that top players can take advantage of, but even then I'd say 95% of sub players just use it for a path of least resistance

#

as in just pop CDs willy nilly and get them back in the next 60 seconds

#

because they can, and because it's a rewarding gameplay

#

Removing that won't make sub any easier for most people

wicked tide
#

@galb u lose the capstone talent point 2

#

so ur losing 2 combo points

#

on super charger

worthy crag
#

The way I understand the tooltip is

#

Forced induction will make the symbols supercharged finisher act as if it's +3 combo points right

wicked tide
#

yes

#

but thats ur burst

#

so ur looking at 10 points

#

vs 8

worthy crag
#

ah ur talking about the case whre we are dropping tea

wicked tide
#

lets also not forget were losing the mobility of sepsis

worthy crag
#

to still take deeper

wicked tide
#

if u drop deeper to take tea

worthy crag
#

I meant its a 1 point loss, not 2, compared to like, the current build

#

Currently we play at 7 cp, post patch we will play at 8, given we take tea + NO forced induction (we won't have the points to take it)

#

If we drop tea and take both forced induction and deeper, it will be at 10

wicked tide
#

yes

worthy crag
#

I can see a world where some people will take the 10 point build, but im not so thrilled about going back to 100 energy

#

gonna ave to see how it feels with 3 symbols

wicked tide
#

im with u man

#

im just saying

#

were gonna be waiting around alot doing nothing

#

then BOOOOOOOOOOOM big go

#

thats everyones weak auras gonna tell t hem to disarm/cc/pop defensive

#

then we do nothing for awhile

worthy crag
#

yeah, I used to use sepsis when kidney is on CD and I dont want to commit a vanish just to access a cheap shot before entering dance

#

that option's gone

#

haha

#

yeah agreed on the weakauras thing

#

Sometimes you just wonder how much of their "insane fast reaction" is their actual awareness and expertise

#

or a WA just yelling at them

wicked tide
#

its WA just look at the streamers

#

i mean whazz plays with a shitload of verrbal/visual ques

worthy crag
#

yeah my affection and attachment to sub has decreased over the past few seasons because of it ngl

wicked tide
#

and now its gonna be even worse because our unpredictab\ility of CDR is what even really gave us openings

#

back to 2 minute blind

#

which is trash

#

the more i talk about it and think about it and what were losing just frustrates me

worthy crag
#

Oh yeah, I mean sub will be way worse in competitive/top leve of play for sure. I think most of the playerbase will be fine though. That doesn't mean they should like the changes though

#

Im indifferent about CDR but I don't like the kidney CD and sepsis change

wicked tide
#

its about fun tho they are killing so much of hte fun

#

and like why take sepsis away?

#

so no button bloat with flag

#

???

#

and why doens't flag generate a combo point so it works with shadow blades

worthy crag
#

not sure, I dont think any meta build in pve took it anyway

#

its kinda always been a buggy spell and maybe they didnt wanna deal with it?

wicked tide
#

they all play flag

#

thbe PvEr's are really not hbappy either

worthy crag
#

yeah, they arent

wicked tide
#

if u read sub pve chat they all agree they are botching sub

vocal totem
#

Will blizz ever fix rupture bug

worthy crag
#

Your argument about dumbing down subtlety applies more accutely to pve side of sub tbh

#

no need to track snd, no need to vanish to get a CD back before boss enters intermission etc

wicked tide
#

i mean its dumbing it down in pvp too

worthy crag
#

Yeah Im pretty certain single target dpsing on sub will be pretty brain numbing

wicked tide
#

just as much if not more

worthy crag
#

and its aoe rotation is already dumb for a long time now

wicked tide
#

i mean good rogues in pvp keep snd up

#

bad ones forget to use it or dont fit it in

#

now EVERY rogue has it up

worthy crag
#

yeah

#

I'd still prob press it occasionally when im trying to just spend points behind a pillar but

#

that's pmuch it

wicked tide
#

yes

#

we will still use it to reset dance

worthy crag
#

but if our consistent damage comes out better, we might end up having more comps than just rmx

#

which im okay with

#

but I kinda doubt it

wicked tide
#

none of the changes help with our consistent damage tho

#

only burst

worthy crag
#

I'm not really sure if I'll even continue playing rogue, not because of the anniversary changes necessarily, but because I don't want to ever get used to a 30 sec kidney lol

torpid swan
#

If anything it helps rmx burst setups

wicked tide
#

galb im right there with u

#

my toon is from vanilla

#

have all the oold school mounts and shit

#

but i feel like this patch is going to make sub evenn more frustrating to play

#

less dances

#

less steps

#

more waiting

#

were gonna play like assa rogues

worthy crag
#

Yeah. I'm not sure if CDR couldnt have just stayed at 7.5/15 seconds like in DF lol

wicked tide
#

which everyone knows is a fucking snooze fest

#

yea 15 sec CDR is fine

worthy crag
#

its kinda like, they forgot to put the right modifier to shadowdust, put it to 22.5 seconds, and realized they screwed up and decided to remove it altogether

wicked tide
#

yep

#

exactly

#

i wish we could put out an SoS

#

(save our sub)

#

im definately being a doomer for sure, but when i theorycraft alot of htese situations in my head i just dont see it being for the positive

worthy crag
#

Im sure more changes will come, but I can already imagine the backlash in non-rogue pvp community if they ever put kidney back to 20

#

so I dont think that will ever happen

wicked tide
#

they made it 30 so

#

people dont fuck up the goes

#

i swear thats the main reason

#

to make it mor elinear and less confusing on how a go is supposed to look

#

also for blitz

worthy crag
#

Numerically speaking, the number of non rogue pvpers who'd rejoice at the change far outnumber the rogues who'd benefit by being idiot proof

#

so I think it was to appease the non rogues

surreal barn
#

Rogue is still fun as hell

#

Maybe not take half of someone’s health in a rapid fire fun - but still fun.

worthy crag
#

Also, its like

#

it might not be the rogue/subtlety stuff that I've grown bored with, but rmx rather

surreal barn
#

The problem with rogue is we were the stun kings

#

Now everyone is a stun king lol

worthy crag
#

Could still have fun playing rogue in blitz/world/skirm but when it comes to 3s

#

rmx is like the same old stuff since legion and the changes might drive us further toward just having rmx as an option

#

which im so over with

wicked tide
#

it takes away options not that we had manby to begin with comp wise

safe pelican
#

Kidney could been 25 seconds lol 30 was overkill imo feel that bad on assa but it does kinda help with goes in a weird sense

languid ravine
#

you mean in a I no longer DR everything sense?

safe pelican
#

No same DR but the increased cooldown lessens the likelihood of your teammate overlapping stuns oddly enough, so we kind of gain the ability to send more efficient full duration kidney shots

#

I was just saying that i would’ve rather them have change it to 25 seconds instead of 30

surreal barn
#

Sometimes you want to just full kidney a different person before someone aoe stun drs them all

#

30 sec cd blows

jolly sierra
#

is still very dumb feral has the same with no drawbacks

In what expansion this shit happened?

Lol healers strong af right now

proud spire
#

Takes about 5 goes in 2s

south cloak
#

Like I don't understand the level of entitlement from healer players in pvp, heals are basically raidboss lvl rn

hidden moth
#

It’s not entitlement. It’s the fact that a healer is responsible in blitz and rbgs to keep themselves and 3-4 other dps up by themselves in a team fight. Their healing output needs to be high enough to do so.

lavish gorge
#

Healers should be really really hard to kill. I say that having dealt like 30+ million damage to a disc priest who was defending freaking quarry instead of healing his team.

#

If you can chase a healer off or keep him busy, you're doing right. He's too busy focusing on staying alive instead of keeping others alive 🙂

#

remember! Kick penance boyo.

whats your guyses Auction House cost for upgrades? on my realm T3 enchants are up to 8-10k, each socket is4 k gold gollUMM

hidden moth
#

A socket for 4K????

#

Bro I was selling the pvp gems for 7-8k at season start and the 3 star wep enchants were 40k a pop

#

The 2star wep chants were 20k a pop

#

Blizz made mats a bit easier to get so the cost of the chants just droped recently but a large margin. The cloak enchant was 20k as well and it’s down to 10k

#

I’m on stormrage btw

languid ravine
#

I mean the making the socket no clue how much a gem costs

safe pelican
#

I must confess i like playing outlaw in pve so far idk how that will transfer to pvp

Except more downtime

jolly sierra

Badass

It was so irritating

The real strat was convincing your team to escort your FC back and go kill the MW after a couple stacks since they are slow as fuck

Bc a socket for pvp costs 3 pvp gems and 5k honor. 12500 honor if u don’t get a gem to drop or bug them off ah

Are the pvp world quests random or set rotation? Looking for the goblin pvp quest in azj kehet

The two in azj kahet, one is on the east side of the zone

wanton breach
#

pressure the enemy healer?

potent pivot
#

Last time Jung vs Move pika was always way ahead on dps than the other feral

#

This time he casted as many clones as Jung’s feral (drake) instead of just dpsing

vague comet
#

the cooldowns on the bottom, is this omni or WA?

orchid plinth
#

Omnibar

#

The purple border around the Icon is an Omnibar setting which highlights the cooldowns which is your target

vague comet
#

oh nice to know, tyty

potent pivot
#

I found that to be really helpful for me

vague comet
#

oh yeah that sounds cool. defensive in one, CCs in another

potent pivot
#

Yeah

#

I think you can also have 1 row for each enemy iirc

#

And you can have them “always shown” so that if they have the ability off CD, it will still show but be faded out

vague comet
#

could be too much of a clutter, I am trying to think where to put my own BIG CD buttons. Cuz right now they are under my character, and i have to put omni there

potent pivot
#

I only do that for certain important procs, like Darkest Night, because buffs/debuffs are a pain in the ass

vague comet
#

im def not gonna turn everything like most people do, just the most imporant things like bubble,hoj etc

candid tide
#

u can also do it like this and put enemy big cds on arena frames

#

but tbh i barely track those in shuffle

#

matches last 2min max

vague comet
#

i already tried that with gladiusex, yeah, didnt loook at those almost at all

#

on the bottom is probably best

candid tide
#

like if i see a big cd popped it appears on nameplates

#

and kinda like calculate it in my head when it might get back

vague comet
#

that i have too with bigdebuffs

#

im playing feral now and its kinda hard to think about anything but my abilities tbh, learning a new class is tough

#

gladiusex is asss

candid tide
hidden moth
#

“Why is it auto use and not a on useeeee wahhhhhhh”

candid tide
#

like when u fight a feral if he pops both tiger fury berserk and incarn

#

u will only see incarn

#

and u wont be sure if he has popped the other 2 too

#

its important info imo

vague comet
#

tiger fury is a 30 sec cd so no point in tracking it imo

People see changes and be like "this change = nerf right?"

#

We say no

#

"but it looks like a nerf"

potent pivot

it hasn't been that bad in here

#

basically everyday someone will ask "so is sub dead on the anniversary patch?"

surprise!

#

I love how people want us to know stuff when the patch isn't even out yet

potent pivot

I think most of us have already rerolled to the orange rogue spec

It’s been pretty inactive

I’m sure it will pick up after reset when we get to test the new changes on live though

There's no way crackshot builds will remain this dominant forever

I feel like I only ask stupid questions but I’m getting whiplash from the amount of times I’m about to hit 1900 and fly back down to 1750. Does serrated boner help with energy regen or is it mostly used for the additional combo pts (since it does seemingly little damage).

how does cr/mmr work in this game? I'm nearly 1700 in blitz playing in 2k cr games getting +22 per win, should i be gaining more?

Some embellishments can only go on certain slots, like Duskthread can only go on leather pieces iirc

Lens can go on any slot

The only thing that matters is that you don’t craft items for slots that you put tier set

waxen meteor

i am getting a bit lost there

fervent cobalt

That talent is trash

given mut/ss/backstab doesn't do any dmg...

it seems they just make this option entirely useless?

It’s true everything was fine until the 1 shot video we called it in here which is crazy lmao

It adds flat dmg to your mut

it does decent dmg I just dont think it better then adding another point to your evis or ST

Yes

master of shadows is decent, get a restealth or dance but its not game changing.

waxen meteor
#

ok i miss read

fervent cobalt
#

we get 3 charges of SoD

waxen meteor
#

i thought it means shiv/symbol etc. is two charges now

#

like already

fervent cobalt

Which is so dope imop

potent pivot
#

You’ll see that it’s not too bad

fervent cobalt
#

We hit hella hard now.

#

lol

waxen meteor
#

in general the change is to simplify operation

fervent cobalt
#

lol I dont see how other then tea and SnD

#

nothing changed.

waxen meteor
#

i had doubt about er only because the text reads a small portion of a low dmg skill

potent pivot
fervent cobalt
#

Yea I actually forgot about dust. Im gonna miss reseting kidneys and low c/d duels

#

T.T

potent pivot
#

So an added damage event

waxen meteor
#

and original skills that triggers ER are all low dmg skills....

#

what you describing is a 10 dmg skill triggers an 100 dmg addon..

#

peeposcared and it's called echo

potent pivot
fervent cobalt
#

I think iom gonna do something like this.

waxen meteor
#

kekdog buff my control is king!

worthy crag
#

It might be worth testing untalenting dark brew for shadowcraft

#

with additional symbols we can easily pre-setup back to back 10 cp finishers

#

And most of brew's benefit is from rupture pad anyway

#

Esp since I will ditch deathmark's 30 sec shadow dmg buff for the 15% finisher buff from symbols now that we have 3 charges of it

potent pivot
#

i think Lingering could be good if double dance/symbols openers are oppressive enough

fervent cobalt
#

Ive been wanting to ditch dark brew

potent pivot
#

brew adds a good bit of dmg other than rupture dmg

fervent cobalt
#

Yea with things like this

#

and blades

#

which is shorter cd now

#

you could get

#

if you grab shadow craft tho

#

and only 100 Energy

#

Because im probably not gonna take tea at all

potent pivot
#

i think dropping tea is gonna be bad

fervent cobalt
#

If I had enough points id love to get it

#

You could do without 2 vanish

potent pivot
#

you'd drop alacrity/deeper

fervent cobalt
#

like this

potent pivot
fervent cobalt
#

?

potent pivot
#

this is probably what i'm going to do

fervent cobalt
#

So no forced

potent pivot
#

not sure yet

#

vanish is still going to be a decent defensive CD since they buffed Soothing

fervent cobalt
#

Yea

#

I know

potent pivot
#

but it's just going to depend how necessary it is

fervent cobalt
#

I dont think I could live without 2

#

even just for Subterfuge

potent pivot
#

also subterfuge is still nice

#

yeah

#

it's just going to depend on what the dmg is like

#

if it's busted everyone will run Forced, and we'll get nerfed

fervent cobalt
#

T.T like always

potent pivot
#

if it's not busted we can live without it

fervent cobalt
#

we can never do dmg

#

people hate that shit

potent pivot
#

it's a hard spec to balance sometimes

fervent cobalt
#

Id agree

#

Lot of control

potent pivot
#

if you can kill someone in a stun lock/duel window people cry

fervent cobalt
#

Oh man I remember SL season 1

#

People just CRIED

#

fun while it lasted lol

worthy crag
#

Vigor is still valuable but tea is gonna feel very awkward

fervent cobalt
#

I was thinking about that

worthy crag
#

its uptime is so low now

#

Since it gets 0 cdr

fervent cobalt
#

you could still get 200 energy

#

and mayube even do shadowcvraft

potent pivot
#

i don't think the uptime is that different

worthy crag
#

when you do have it the extra mastery will more than make up for losing the 3rd anima point though

#

Just gotta be mindful when you press it now

fervent cobalt
#

You have to be mindful on building cd for Dance

#

thats gonna be the biggest problem

#

Gonna be so damn annoying.

#

I wish I could just opt out of this

#

auto tea

worthy crag
#

but surely automation is always an improvement!

Slowing the frick out of someone is good regardless of class. Many opportunities come from someone not being able to catch up. Can force them burning mobility cds or create a window for people to womp them in blitz as an example.

#

In arena it can create a sap opportunity in mugumbala with that long pillar as an example. Its a great tool to have but it is optional for sure if one elects to not use it.

You don't. Or you manage your Deathstalkers Mark: having rupture on a target while another target is marked will proc singular focus and break stealth.

idle nest
#

As an assassination rogue. does Deathstalker make you always want to open with ambush in pvp, rather than opening with cheap shot ?

#

so far i've always been opening with ambush, into cheap shot. but that can give the enemy a window to react.

jolly sierra
#

u always open w cheap shot

#

u do the ambush later due to subterfuge

idle nest
#

wait, subterfuge works for the deathstalker buff???. FML

jolly sierra
#

no

#

i say

#

to use ambush

jolly sierra
#

got confused w blindside

idle nest
#

so i can cheapshot into ambush, and still get the deathstalker going

dim oriole
#

As long as you are still in subterfuge you can ambush to get DS

idle nest

sweet. thanks guys

Not lik pve where you have to open with it as you dont take subterfuge

It lengthens the garrote because of pandemic, so you get a longer empowered garrote

jolly sierra
#

garrote is dirty cheap for 3 combo points

#

also that

jolly sierra
#

and u can spread indiscriminate carnage

hidden moth
#

still get the 2 gar before ur 6 seconds is up but u get ur mark applied before the rupture so that the rupture uses a stack of mark

potent pivot
hidden moth
potent pivot

I don’t find it important enough to care about at all tbh

hidden moth
potent pivot
#

The marks are quite an afterthought for me

sick wasp
potent pivot
#

Not Deathmark

sick wasp
#

nvm me

potent pivot
#

I can see the logic in doing either opener

sick wasp
#

yeah

potent pivot
#

I genuinely just barely pay any attention to consuming Marks

sick wasp
#

openers now are more flexible

potent pivot
#

I just press a max cp Env when my Darkest Night WA pops up

sick wasp
#

idk,im playign sub,dont rly care,it comes natural

potent pivot
#

Pretty much every hero tree is just whatever

#

Passive damage buffs mostly

sick wasp
#

yeah,its pretty much ur choice to pick up on diff passive traits on how ur dmg comes out

#

thats it

potent pivot
#

Only part I pay attention to is Singular Focus bug at this point

jolly sierra
#

are we picking ER as assa now with the change?

potent pivot
#

We might yeah

sick wasp
jolly sierra
#

interesting

#

ye, i recall myk using it in s4 pre rework for DF

potent pivot
#

It was pretty good when I tested it, but PTR is PTR

hidden moth
#

some hero trees are just big though. like oracle giving u a new ability.

jolly sierra
#

was a viable strategy

potent pivot
#

I want to see how it does in live matches

jolly sierra
#

if rework looks ok should be fine

#

well its in ur hands trickz

#

we are not getting 10.0.5 till wednesday here in EU

potent pivot
#

We might play more for KB and Envenom dmg

potent pivot
hidden moth
#

less tahn 12 hours for me

jolly sierra
#

who said in monday the patch was for "tomorrow" lol

potent pivot
#

Quite a few people

potent pivot
#

It’s probably going to be more like 20 hours kekw3

jolly sierra
#

but BTW as a tip

#

when myk used ER pre rework

#

he spent the blue points in CT

#

just in case u wanna do more dmg

#

else in envenom

potent pivot
sick wasp
#

charged cps on ct if u are into deathstalker tech worths to press even ST for a minor dmg gain

potent pivot
#

Spending the charges on bleeds is probably fine

sick wasp
#

(least for pve)

potent pivot
#

Unless envenom does enough to matter

sick wasp
#

mostly has to do with ctw consumption but dont rly know how that applies for pvp

#

hmm

potent pivot
#

Spending charges on Darkest Night envenom did a good chunk of dmg on PTR

sick wasp
#

cool cool

potent pivot
#

The main thing that sucks

#

Is that to take Overcharge you have to drop Tea or Vanish charge

#

So we likely don’t take Overcharge

#

Sub can drop Vanish for it but Sub is going to be considered a bit more squishy now

sick wasp
#

tea being the way it is,wouldnt be that out-of-the-world thing

potent pivot
#

Tea is pretty insane value

sick wasp
#

meaning the autocharge consumption

potent pivot
#

It didn’t seem that difficult to avoid the automated shit

sick wasp
#

cool cool

potent pivot
#

Sin already aims to pool energy for SB

sick wasp
potent pivot
#

As Sub you just pool slightly outside of burst windows

sick wasp
#

makes sense

potent pivot
#

30 energy is a pretty low threshold

sick wasp
#

im trying to think how i can avoid taking that tea charge away in the opener

#

if i dont send one for sectech

potent pivot
#

We can even make an energy bar WA that turns green when it’s okay to press stab/evis etc

languid ravine
#

...thanks blizz

potent pivot
#

We will probably need to avoid spamming shuriken storm

#

That shit costs a lot of energy

sick wasp
#

that thing is draining energy

#

fr

potent pivot
#

Yeah I’ve heard it’s even bad in pve aoe

#

Trickster might unironically be slightly better than it was for Sub now too

#

Since Coup and Supercharge spend more combo points they get more CDR

#

Trickster cleave breaking CC is still an issue though

languid ravine
#

how hard can it be to code in a non cc break clause in there? pretty sure loads of stuff has that now

potent pivot
#

Almost all “frivolous” aoe does not break CC or even Stealth

worthy crag
#

Im sure people will experiment dropping tea for overchage, including myself

#

and take a few rounds of queues to see how it feels

potent pivot
#

Experiment away

worthy crag
#

Well, idk, might not even play rogue at all post patch xD

potent pivot
#

I don’t think dropping that much mastery for 1 more combo point will ever be worth

#

But Shruge

worthy crag
#

Im more concerned about vigor than tea itself

#

tea is nice though, when you have it up

#

playing with 100 energy will make sub even more telegraphed for sure though

#

You'd see the rogue not pressing anything and pooling 60~70 energy before a go

#

and duel will feel awful for having to spend 50 energy to activate it

#

you'd basically need to pop SoD pre duel, and another SoD inside the duel

#

too much investment imo
