It'd be cool if Blizzard buffed GSW to 300% damage from 200% damage
So it's exactly like it's SL counterpart
I want Blunderbuss, Dreadblades and Flag back
If they're gonna add Dreadblades back, they need to add a counter mechanic to the HP tax like there was on the Artifact Tree
That HP tax too heavy for both PvP and PvE
@jaunty osprey You around?
So what is the difference between Tea build and FI build?
For solo shuffle outlaw?
FI build basically presses rtb on CD
Kk still both build runs high vers>crit>haste?
!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.
Ye
Cheers!
Somehow I just went 3-3 in a triple pally lobby without a purge
as assa
they have to be so bad to let that happen
that should be a 0-6
maybe 1-5 if someone trolls
but 3-3 wtf lol
Guys, any tips how to maximize Envenom crits with Deathstalker? I was able to do between 2,5m to 3m crits on players max (with death from above, tea, supercharger, shiv buff and darkness night), but I saw people doing above 4m.
thx
nope, that's it
you're not gonna see anyone hit 4m on a player, even a player with zero vers
Man, I saw rogue in live stream hit Jazzgz (top warlock) for 4m, so I guess it is possible
i'm pretty doubtful of this
the max i've seen is just over 3m and that was in execute, buffed by zoldyck
unless you saw that from over 2 weeks ago when 11.0.5 first went live. something was double dipping and got changed since then
He showed us dmg meter, went from 50% to 0 in one global. Enveom for 4m. It was last week I think
sounds like the details was bugged or something then
there's nothing else that can buff envenom other than what you listed and zoldyck's
Maybe, next round he was hitting for 2,5m. Thx for answer though.

did you see if the rogue was amplifying poison and twist the knife by any chance?
lingering darkness is also something to consider (nature damage buff after deathmark ends)
lingering wouldn't make you hit that hard compared to just using symbolic
and double shiving for 1/2 extra CP on envenom could be a cheesy thing to do too
dtb/amp could be a possibility but they don't come up to 4m, last i tested anyway
when 11.0.5 first dropped i was able to hit a max of 4.8m on players, but after they broke and fixed supercharger for sub/outlaw it hasn't even come close to 4m
just hit a 5.7M DfA on the pvp targeting dummy
yeah, gotta test in a duel
is there a way to 1v1 wargame?
so as i gathered for outlul (supercharger build):
rtb on cd, so it also really doesnt matter which buffs you have and their prio right?
also is killing spree a higher prio than bte even during crackshot? i tought to just spam bte's
bte is higher prio during crackshot
Hi
just curious, are u guys getting any results with outlaw in compare to other specs this ssn and df3/df4 in 3s? kinda feels like 80% of ppl play outlaw here which is the hardest spec to be succesfull in xd
ime every class kinda feel almost impossible when starting out, some more than others
but there comes a point when ull break through if u dont give up
dont think like all of those are starting out and never touched it before
mb i didnt read it through
Tank DH wins 3 rounds against a 1-5 Fire mage in my lobby
now its time to uninstall for real
cya it was a great 20 years
F
If it makes you feel better
I had a skirm where my frost mage casted Polymorph
Warrior used his spell reflect on it
and Polymorph got reflected onto me
but how lol
Idk
That was a sign to stop PvPing for the rest of the night
to me lol
If your wondering the comp
My Team: Frost Mage, Me Outlaw, Disc Priest
Enemy Team: Aff Warlock*, Arms Warrior, Mistweaver Monk
We lost the game (Hint: Frost Mage did really really really low damage and I mean no damage)
Ye
well that doesnt mean he was playing bad, shadow in my lobby went 5-1 with 300k dps

Outlaw has a very real skill gap period - It really takes time to click before you realize how the pump works, when to kite/CC etc and how to get solid burst numbers. It took me a solid month of horsing around before I "broke through" and am now actually playing to potential. It's definitely a "stick with it" spec.
it took me 2 months to play sub to 1800
dang that was some hard stuff at the beginning
finger twisting class
shouldve gone fury, takes 2 days to 2100 
and noone ever flames you for failing because they know I would never understand as a warrior gamer
Does outlul want to press vanish off CD like the pve guide says to keep ADR up, or does that depend how much uptime you’re having to reset vanish
I had something similar happen to me with feral, was my first time playing it after a while
I want to try outlaw now
I enjoy learning “difficult” or I guess rewarding specs
Same - I am a glutton for punishment. The more niche the win condition is, the more I enjoy it for some dumb reason
I m hardstuck on 1700 as DH (2.3 on assa btw)
I guess softstuck but the games are atrocious
Guys, how is assa compared to the outlaw? Last time I played rogue on cata, so you can say I am total newbie. Assa feels very good most of the times, but i want to be as competitive as possible. Thx.
Assa easier to burst for sure and is more forgiving but everything is viable
It’s crazy how my multi box assa rogue is playing at 2k+ MMR in blitz and winning but my outlaw rogue is forever banished to the 1600 realm
I was 9-11 on my assa rogue in blitz now I’m 10-15 😂 went down from 2.2k MMR to 1.9k after my last loss we’ll see what happens today the push continues 🦦
Yeah cause outlaw god tier mode
B+ tier at best
Depends on the eye of the beholder
i got 3 clothy lobbies in a row and i felt super strong queuing saturday
then i got a 4 man plate lobby with shaman as the last healer and got reminded what its like to be irrelevant
just throwing cc and peels on me the entire game while they all fight and ignore me 
the difference in damage between clothies and plate is actually insane ngl
I did no damage into a ret/hpal comp in 2s the other night
But I had insane evasion and feint uptime so he didn't do a lot of dmg either lmaoo
@tribal badger isn't armor normalized in arena? Aka, everyone does the same amount of physical damage to every armor type? I thought they changed that
That seems WILDLY BACKWARDS
why do u think MM hunters have always been considered mage/clothy killers but countered by plate lobbies
armor causes a fairly substantial difference in damage done vs some spec
I mean I thought that's why they normalized armor, to balance that. Lol that they did it for pve and not for pve. Idiotic company, truly
well they nerfed the armor of plate last expac in a later season because it was scaling too high or something
to reduce the gap somewhat
but its never been normalized no
and its still quite noticable
Cursed
are you referring to the very last month of s4?
or something before that
the last month of s4 had fucked armor scaling because of prepatch, since they changed the scaling to be ready for level 80s and we were all still 70
before that
they nerfed plate classes armor and some other armor (like boomkin and shaman iirc) in s2 or s3 of df
cant remember
to reduce the damage gap between cloth and plate for some specs
Yeah idr that I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to tuning then
I kinda like that the different armor types are actually different in pvp
Don’t see any reason for them to be normalized
it just gets kinda silly when a majority of specs dont really care about armor and then specs like law or marks lose substantial amounts of damage to it
but its w/e
it does add some flavor for sure
yeah but we get the benefit of DESTROYING mages lol
but yeah the armor types only really matter for like a few specs which is why it kinda feels outdated
Speaking of mages, probably my favorite thing about outlaw is not being able to get kited easily
i never play rouge how look like pvp rotation any links iam lvl 13 any good videos or guides ?
check out the pve guides on wowhead while you're leveling so you can learn the basics
all done i look for pvp rotaion and i cant find it for low lvl like me 14
on mid tier pvp like gladiator- assa in shuffle and 3s as rlp is S tier much better than outlaw
on r1 lvl high gladiator, ppl in outlaw performs better
tho if ur like mid tier gladiator and below, assa will be very op and way to go
At 14 you're pretty much just pressing sinister strike into dispatch. Outlaw PVP is pretty slow low-level
Thanks, guess i will start with assa and then will see if I can progress to outlaw.
yeah the outlaw leveling experience kinda sucks haha
you dont really get access to any of the specs mechanics for a while
Always been the problem with outlaw. It's a Benjamin button spec.
Paying for the sins of combat mace stuns heh
Hey, i just started to play wow, war within. I was looking for some guides on Sub rouge pvp, and i just found out they just remade sub rouges so very few guides that are up to date with in PVP. Coud someone send me a good one that i can focus on and learn from it?
there aren't really any good guides for pvp specifically
as you said, they go out of date or have incorrect info usually etc
try checking out Nahj on yt or twitch n just watch gameplay
yeah skillcapped is so out of dated often also
cant believe they trick people into buying their sub
their high level advice is still all very applicable
well ye the arena master vids are helpful idd
but like class courses a bunch of them are for outdated specs
yeah blizz has been changing specs a lottt
true too specs changed fast over the course this season
What do you guys think about this one? https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/subtlety-rogue-pvp-talents-and-builds#pvp-talents
might be okay for very generalized stuff, but even the build's out of date
i would use murlok.io for builds/gear. and watch actual gameplay from someone like Nahj or another rank 1 playing the spec.
Do I need to get good or is it kind of rough playing without thistle like Nahj does?
Feel like I have too many dead globals
Subterfuge feels insanely good but outside of go's I'm doing like nothing due to being energy starved
You do nothing outside of goes regardless

do you have to pick up the quest for the free pvp weapons somewhere?
or do you just get it after you earn enough conquest?
fasho
I’ve only played Assa and a little Sub for the last two seasons and after getting hard stuck at 2.1 I leveled a WW and wow. It seems so much easier.
But at least I’ve realized how much I suck. So that’s good.
i'm vs frost mage devoker in a lobby, how the f do I stick to any of them
i'm getting kited out of my mind
spec?
take shiv to apply stronger slow
use ranged attacks to apply crippling
use mobility well, don't just blow it
@ocean crypt that’s probably the hardest lobby for a melee that I’ve come across bc of the constant slows. Outlaws the first melee I’ve been able to stick to them consistently which is nice. DFA can be a good gap closer since you won’t need God Cloak with 2 casters. Try sticking to the closest wizard near ur healer’s pillar so you don’t line him and get put in a bad position. Also it lets you stop cc on your healer
@potent pivot did you whitelist anything for outlaw or do u just have weakauras to track some of the stuff?
yeah between disentegrate and everything the frost mage was doing shit felt impossible lol
Sometimes if your healer isn’t the best, you have to play the long game and pillar until stun DR is back. As long as you can get a trinket and cc the healer you and your team can get a kill in smoke bomb
@ocean crypt
yeah i'll keep that in mid if I get that nightmare again lol
It doesn’t happen often lol but when it does it does suck.
guys, I thought my game was bugged until I realised there's a new passive for thistle tea which auto drinks it when you get to 30 energy, is there a way to turn that crap off?
No
Just don’t let yourself fall below 30 energy
ez
thx
they might as well give you a 600 energy bar instead of this crap though
how recent is this change, I dont remember it in DF
11.0.5
For the most part it’s just a whatever change
It’s not that difficult to play around
but there is no reason to play around something if there's no reason for it in the first place
why add one more thing to play around
It’s one less thing for casuals to press
It doesn’t significantly impact dps in pve even if you completely ignore it
how about they dont press on that talent if they dont want it
or have a choice/toggle for that crap passive
What’s done, is done
you're awfully compliant for a rogue 😛
Nah I just don’t complain about stuff that isn’t a big deal for me
no one does, unless its a big deal for them 😛
(It shouldn’t really be a big deal to anyone)
I find it annoying not to have that thistle tea when I want to blow my cooldowns
well why dont they turn on the ability to macro everything like they had when they released wow
What spec are you playing
Tea is such a non-issue when playing assa correctly that several of us don’t even play it anymore
Spec?
assasination
And Sub only plays it, for the mastery boost
Then you’re playing incorrectly anyway
tea is never an issue tbh
unless u are pveing
else u almost never will get energy starved
You should be pooling to stay above 50% energy as much as you can unless you absolutely have to build cp for a kidney asap or something
why pool above 50%
How its been forever generally.
Sanguine blades. Very strong talent
it does about 10% of my damage currently (im level 70) what should it be at as a % of total
Percentages vary from match to match
give me a rough idea so ill know if im doing it wrong
because that 10% value is me not pooling
so if its same as pooling then its not gonna be a thing
have you tested vs dummy?
or maybe there's another reason to pool or is that it?
apart from saving enough energy like u said incase you want to stun someone
This has been a thing for a long time now
Tested by tons of people
You also need to get to 80, being level 70 is going to be wonky for all sorts of things
ok will do
yeah its definitely not worth it at 70
im getting same or worse dps by pooling
the only reason I see for it being useful is while ur being kited right now
you dot someone and they run away and ur energy stays above 50%
so this keeps it getting used as ur being kited
but yes must be different at 80
otherwise u guys wouldnt say this
You aren’t actually playing the game until you’re level 80. Stop focusing on how things work at not max level, and focus on getting to max as soon as you can
i am, but in between waiting for timewalking dungeons to level up im testing on dummy
by the way when blowing cooldowns
is it Deathmark, Shiv, Kingsbane, Shiv in last 6 seconds of kingsbane again, then shiv kingsbane shiv until Deathmark resets?
Any useful outlaw macros? I have a cancelaura for blade flurry. Kinda wanna have a separate ghostly strike macro. Idk if anyone has some good ones
/cast @cursor Grappling Hook
just put GS on its own button tbh
sorry fixed that macro
not mouseover its cursor
Got that one as well. Why not like bind it to BTE
cuz you dotn want to use it every time you bte
GS
it costs a lot of energy and its a waste if you use it just before your burst for no reason
Is it not good to use before a crackshot window
it is but you dont only bte during crackshot necessarily
Or better to send with KS or something
theres just not any outlaw buttons that only have one specific use scenario
so if you macro it to anything
it will inevitably be used when you dont want it to sometimers
sup cuties
@jaunty osprey hey man
I wanted to ask you
why are you playing Kingsbane lol
do you know something we dont
cause
sbs passive damage
isnt worth it
kingsbane i can hit for
700k crit - 450k noncrit
into a 2.5m envenom
and the dot of kingsbane
on my goes
ticks for 500k-600k
Is sub still the king of 1v1 or is assassination as good?
Against other good 1v1 specs that is
but sbs also buffs all your other bleeds and gives you a lot of combo points
You're also playing cold blood which I assume you macro to kingsbane
where does sbs buff your bleedds
im not playing cold blood
i used to, but i played forced induction
when I looked you up on murlok it showed you playing Lethality/cold blood
and that was like
yesterday
maybe didnt update
hmm
weird
i played lethality/cold blood like
start of season and up till
echoing rep was removed
but afterwards, i played forced induction only
i just dueled myself
and hit a 850k+ kingsbane
crit
without lethality
that's why i play it
but it usually won't crit
you play depths enchant too
I'm not convinced its better than radiant for assa
I swap targets too much to get a lot of value out of depths
since its a stacking debuff
that's fair
both enchants are good!
i should be playing radiant power since i play
an envenom build
yeah if you get a proc itll gas up your envenom
does your gameplay change much between the envenom build and the bleed build?
no
your entire
sin tree is the same
just the rogue tree is different
sbs literally ticks for 25k noncrit man
LOL
this shit is ass
ticks every 3 seconds
so 20 ticks per min
that is a MIN of 500k
on 1 target, 1 mill on 2 targets
of 3 targets (healer) that means you can never gouge the healer
my kingsbane for sure does more than that per cast
in terms of initial hit and then the dot
Mine tick for a bit more than that
4%
plus the 2% extra bleed dam
that's what i assume the 60k noncrit tick is
ya
i still think that's very low
let me see if i have any old details on any rogues
i havent queued in a week cause it's been so dead at higher ratings
it also did 5.6m damage in terms of buffing my bleeds
so call it 23.5m
plus combo points
youre thinking about setting up a kill window not just raw dps
my thing is
neither are wrong
i've posted
screenshots in here
of a big envenom
i mean
big KB
into big envenom
let me see if i can find
both my rogues are over 2400 in SS which I know is meme bracket to you but still
I've tested so much shit
I want KB to be good so bad lol
but I just cant make it be good
if u see
that was a kingsbane
DOT
for 518k
which i think is insane
every kingsbane i press
it hits for 500k-900k
initial hit
and then the dot is
300k-600k
pairing with a 2m envenom on my go
is insane
that's almost 50% of a healthbar
but kingsbane doesn't buff envenom right?
so how do you get a 2m envenom
forced induction?
yes
i'd still play with with deeper strat and tea though
but envenom buffs kingsbane
as the more poisons you apply
the harder it ticks
i have to wonder
is that extra combo point from forced induction worth losing tea over
because tea is 13.6% envenom damage
and energy
and it buffs your bleeds n shit too
you could just Tea your big envenom
and it would do the same as forced induction or more
plus give you energy
and it lasts for 6 seconds
you still would
it would
no
the extra CP that forced induction gives
is more damage than tea
it's a bit less
it's very similar
but slightly less
tea is overall a net gain
cause it buffs bleeds
you're not wrong
so on my rogue every additional combo point towards an envenom adds 65,390 damage
but it is less envenom damage
tea
no tea
but
that's also assuming
u have tea for every super charged envenom
which u dont
i just dont see the game as a details game
i dont think it's important to look at details
especially at higher ratings
if the game was won on details
outlaw rogue wouldnt be the best performing rogue spec in EU and NA for shuffle
whatever gets you the kill is what's important
being able to kill someone that's at 3M hp, instantly, wins games
Envenom is just so slow though
I dont press it that much really
This was my damage breakdown from the last SS I did
well
and I went 5-1
You aren't always facing a comp you can aoe into though
in all of these, i played it
oh believe me, I know. But ivan said his gameplay doesnt change between the 2 builds
it doesnt
I mean
i multi dot cause i need scent of blood
like
the entire right tree
is the same
Gameplay changes more based on their comp
And how they're positioning
i tried an envenom build that @potent pivot suggested a while back and it actually felt worse than the bleed build into caster cleaves because not being able to connect felt that much worse
and are refreshing bleeds
too early
well
i play DFA every game
0 issues connecting
it's a play style thing, i could just be better
at using this spec
DFA something crazy
You can reliably DFA kiting mechanics?
every game
yes
vs stormbolts, coils, lasso, etc
when u know
someone is gonna press something
u just press it
whats the timing like on that
nice wall on 2,6mmr
cuz if you press it before they press you won't follow them and if you press it after then youll be out of range
well
you're up in the air for like
2 seconds
so u can press early
it's like 1.5-2 seconds
makes u completely CC immune
and they dont think "this guy is up in the air right now maybe I should wait a second to port"?
if everyone played like robots
every game would be decided on the solo shuffle timer
at the top of the screen
u have to stop looking at the game
so black and white
more dam on details doesnt equate to better
and
a lot of other things
true otherwise sub rogue would never be playable
exactly
the way i play sin is almost like
sub rogue burst
but rotting evryone too
also
name 1 talent better vs casters
than DFA
we're taking smoke bomb
and hemo
already
tricks
nope
blackjack
is insane
30% reduced healing and damage
on your opener, enemy healer has 30% reduced healing ontop of your wound poison
used once in openr so op xd
my issue with kingsbane isnt that its less damage on details. it's because in my experience it doesn't provide enough burst damage to justify doing less overall
again in my experience
you ever play the AoE blind talent with Blackjack in RBG Teamfights? It's fucking hilarious
noo havent queued bgb since week 1
if theyre not all spread out enough they just fall over
their whole team doing 30% less damage and healing
while yours has lust
ya
baboon is underestimating blackjack
lol
regardless, not many better talents to take vs casters
DFA is literally a free meld (not stealth part)
I like Tricks too ngl
see a warlock casting shadowfury and u dont have kick? dfa
Especially now that kidney is 30s CD
ye i pref like all eu top rogues tricks to boost affli lock xdd
so your teammate gets 15% damage every kidney
instead of once per 30sec jump
i literally macro tricks to kidney
i know for a fact
in shuffle
the top eu rogues play blackjack
lmao
so that's cap
on Murlok DFA doesnt seem very often chosen
yeah dfa isnt, it synergizes with forced induction
but
saying that blackjack is bad
is inherently wrong
not saying black jack is bad
playing it mostly also
tho if its game vs 2 casters like demo frost
which is mostly 4-5 mins game
u bet ur ass im playing DFA
if it's demo frost
but if u want to watch a game vs double casters
where i use DFA
triple caster
actually
u can ofc, u eeven can play supercharged points in us xd
Dfa has such a short range sadly
15 yards
Kinda pitiful
But the cc immunity can be really nice
dfa lasso for example
when im stacked on him
@jaunty osprey when u say u play assa like sub do u mean u bleed everyone then kinda afk
I think he means he bleeds everyone and then tunnels someone with envenoms
"There's no way I'm stacking on anyone"
Man
kinda fucked when our cleave is so good that it's actually better to just let a destro lock spam chaos bolts on you than risk stacking for a few seconds lol
LOL
i wish
the first few rounds
werent muted
it was actually rly good commentary
Ivan
What do you even do in a game like that
when you get 40 yard triangled
I feel so helpless
That's probably my biggest challenge
not gonna lie
supercharge rupture helps a lot
but honestly
just gotta gas pedal
and then line of sight to get a restealth then gas pedal again
also
you should definitely be playing hemotoxin
just looked up ur chars
it helps rot others down
when you arent spamming fan of knives
I often do play it but I think in the last matches I played before logging out on my rogues they were against either a BM hunter, UDK, or Demo Lock
I dont like hemo into those classes because the shiv cleave MS gets wasted on the pets
But I could be wrong
So you lock in smokebomb and hemo
?
yeah
so what would you do vs another assa rogue or vs feral/MM or warrior/WW?
also
Where youd want veil and disarm
maneuv is kinda meh
uhh vs another assa rogue
i just run cloak
or feral cloak
vs ARMS, i stick to dfa cause they do 0 dam
vs WW, cloak
vs fury, disarm
vs mm, dfa cause mm is awful
they always trinket port
They bout to not need karma to one shot lmao the getting biggg buffies
Are you high rated as outlaw?
no wtf 😂 im hard stuck 1500 mmr on outlaw but im playing at 2k mmr on assa alt pushing this
Take Your Cut is mandatory this ssn holy shit
I watched an old guide and wasn’t thinking and dropped it and the past 4 shuffles thinking I’ve been getting cursed or something from a lock bc I have no energy lmaooo
Doing no dam
I swear without that talent it would be unplayable lmfaooo
With the 10% haste everyone recommends
Idk how much stuff goes up ssn to ssn but I assume by season 2 or 3 it won’t be as mandatory
wait what does take your cutt do
oooooh the haste on rtb
I mean
its kinda shit tbh
it puts you way over cap on haste
but it does feel nice if youre playing supercharger
though youre kinda forced to drop it into certain matchups like when you need disarm and cloak for bleeds
Great for outlaw
Nah bro I stg it’s unplayable without it my damage was shit when I didn’t take it
There’s a reason 49 out of 50 top rogues are playing it.
Referencing Murlok
Rly only need disarm into sub rogue mostly. Its nice into warr fdk and mm but not a necessity idt
10% haste doesnt give you much damage
if it did we would stack haste as our secondary haha
its 10% haste every 20ish seconds its really not that big
and if youre spamming rtb on cd youre kinda just deleting all your cto procs
which will hurt your damage more than 10% haste could ever recover haha
youre supposed to use RTB on CD with the new supercharger build most people are playing and that haste helps because it doesnt have vigor
its generally not worth it to rtb if it will make you lose buff count
unless youre about to vanish
I think if youre going to do that you should drop cto for GSW
cuz youre getting almost no value out of cto by rolling that often
and prob should drop loaded dice for sleight of hand
if you think about it 1 rtb is 6 cps but 1 PS with Broadside up is also 6 cps same with an ambush that procs
and those other buttons actually do damage
rtb is really only worth pressing on cd if you wont lose any good buffs
so like grand melee + buried treasure
Guys, do you know some good assa streamer/content creator? After trying mage, lock, dk, priest and evoker, rogue finally clicked, so I want to learn. Thx
shadenox
@severe helm I’m just going off what @potent pivot and Kalvish told me. Bc secondary stats are so low the 1st ssn, that’s why we can’t afford to stack haste. We need crit and vers. You pretty much RTB off CD. trickz didn’t tell me to play take your cut, but he can chime in. I just know I played 3 shuffles without it and it felt god awful. I was completely energy starved. Had two 5-1s in a row when I took it
Take your cut is basically a lock in yeah
Not only is it really good for yourself, it’s also like a mini PI for any team mates in range
That too. What about Mewo’s other points about dropping stuff if you RTB off cd? I have no idea
Most people don’t drop cto or LD
There’s like 2 ppl who drop cto for gsw
It’s prolly not terrible to do that
But with charger you aren’t literally rerolling on CD, you don’t reroll 4-5 buffs
I could see waiting if you have 3 good buffs, I think Mewo and I were talking about that the other day
Hard to say exactly where to draw that line because you want to be utilizing the extra CDR charger is giving you as much as possible
Wonder how long before they spice up the hero talents. Ours are kinda ass. Fatebound does kinda fit outlaw, but in general, ours are boring
Fatebound is Dragonflight 2.0, no rotation changes necessarily
Trickster changes up the rotation
Fatebound seems better for the most part, damage wise and double grapple
@potent pivot what’s your philosophy on went to press Ghostly Strike
maybe they'll do some big changes for next expansion
i don't see them doing anything other than tuning to them this expac
pretty much on CD, if spending the energy won't fuck you up
^
Is there something rotational that I’m doing wrong if I get a bit energy starved at times with no procs? I’m guessing not having good uptime to get ADR back quicker or using vanishes well could have something to do with it. Since there’s not many outlaw guides I’m kinda just winging it
Holding AR instead of sending it on CD if it's still active?
Yeah I’m horrible about tracking anything like that. Good one
So I was pushing blitz last night or trying to & i had this match with a holy pala who swore i was trash cause we lost on deep wind gorge and i didn’t win a 1v1 against this outlaw rogue and then a feral
sold both those caps just tried to cap first instead of being patient and getting sap into blind. ( correction I won against the feral but the base already capped before i killed him )
OFC he messages me after the game telling how trash i am and running my check pvp telling his past ratings blah blah long story short he was in my next match on the other team and got cooked by me all game
So I message back talking shit and he blocks me 😂 happens everytime
are epic BG queues always like 30min? shit's wild
Is there a minimum CP threshold in the crackshot window and outside of it
you always aim to finish on 5 or more
Ok good
I sustained 860k DPS on the PvP dummy ST last night for 5 mins. Does that sound pretty accurate
idk dummy math always kinda dogshit i don't pay attention to what i do to em
Ok. What do u avg in most matchups? I was at 250-300 but now I’m closer to 400k unless it’s all melee then it’s a lot more. But I don’t think I’ve had a match where I’ve done the rotation remotely well so I think I could do much more
Shuffle/3s mostly
Nah they should be like 8-9 minutes at least they are on Tich
You also play when everyone is at work doe 
server doesn't matter
depends a lot on match length, comps, etc
you should be above 350k into basically anything even if you're getting cc chained like crazy
Good number to go off of
feelsgood when you kill 8 hordes and still dont get the warchest kek
either way those things are scary, I saw one fly though the whole Castle in Hailfall
Play on an rp server as alliance the chest is always yours.
supposedly my real is Horde 8 - 5 Alliance ratio but it really feels like 10 vs 2 almost every time
Moon Guard is 100% ally chest
Btw, if you want an easy time climbing up
Afternoon till Evening
Best time to queue for easy games
It doesn’t ?? I’m guessing that only matters for rated pvp ?? Or does the game pull from all realms for pvp
pulls from all realms
anything that you queue for is region wide
Battle groups haven’t been a strict thing for quite a few expansions now
@potent pivot do you find you win more when u focus on damage or cc more? I try to find a balance but maybe I’m not pveing enough
Yeah i think i spend too much of crackshot DR cheaping when I need to just kidney healer vanish cheap both dps if I’ll get peeled and get down to bizniz
need to practice like whaazz constantly watching arena frames drs
its actually so hard to do that in shuffle game pace imo
When i was playing all day like that it became muscle memory for my brain to just check arena frames for drs every 10-15 seconds when i playing sub
Now i just hand out garrotes like hot cakes 🦦🤣
Does mark of the spelunker supreme give the 1800 tint or no?
Don’t think so
Yeah take your cut is def big I'm just not sure rtb on CD is optimal even just from a cdr perspective. I do a lot of work on the APL for outlaw in pve so I'm familiar with a lot of the breakpoints there. We spent a loooot of time figuring out what's optimal for supercharger since the cost of losing buffs vs the cp gen is really hard to quantify so we just did weeks of experimenting with rules. In general what we got down to was that if pressing rtb would make you lose total buff count then it is not worth the cps. Pvp exceptions I could see would be using it before a vanish cuz the extra cps feed into ace procs so that's a lot of extra burst
So even at 2 buffs you wouldn't want to rtb down to 1 unless you had like the worst two buffs and even then it would be just about neutral. Esp if one of those buffs is cto you can just wait 8 seconds and rtb after you lose it
cdr in general is more potent in pvp i feel, because you aren't sitting at 100% uptime like a sim
why do some outlaw rogues use a dagger offhand?
It feels like u do no damage without it is all I know. I respect your testing tho. If I’m going by eye test, not taking it is not worth
i thought that stuff was normalizd
because it's slightly better for more poison procs
o7
Even from that perspective. One rtb is 6cps. One ambush proc is 6cps AND gives ps proc so it's actually worth more cps. One PS with broadside is also 6 cps and it gives audacity so also worth more. You could consider pressing rtb when you don't have either audacity or PS proc
But you lose overall cdr if you're pressing it and losing any decent buff
i just don't think that's how it shakes out
It is a lot more energy efficient than ambush but not PS so that's probably why it made Josiah feel less energy starved
Yeah I want to spend more time playing it I haven't done enough arena yet but just from a DPS and cdr perspective it doesn't really line up with all the TC we've done this season
Haha yeah I know you've said that
But like unless you're actively not able to hit a target I just don't see why you would rtb instead of ambush or PS and lose one or two buffs for the same amount of cps that doesn't do any damage
And that could mean wasting it when you could have held it for going into a vanish window
The sub rogue pvp guide says "Use Shadow Dance Icon Shadow Dance and Symbols of Death Icon Symbols of Death. With the talent The First Dance Icon The First Dance, you now have 4 Combo Points."
But that's not what first dance does
So what's the actual opener?
what guide are u following?
icy veins
out of date man
what guide is up to date ?
none
Can someone write out the sub rotation lol
Seems like the opener should still work with shadow blades cuz the first cheap will give 5 points
/cast Symbols of Death
/cast Thistle Tea
/cast Eviscerate```
what's the difference btw this and cast sequence?
My opener right now is SB, cheap, press this macro, strike, Secret tech, cheap, evis, cheap evis
- i would not recommend using macro for ur combo
opener maybe but the rest
can someone explain to me why in assa some take Doomblade instead of KB?
i do it with assa is that sometimes u may go against 2 enemy that can go invi and so u either start dps the healer to bait them out or wait
I only press the macro with blades, otherwise I manually press dance+symbols cuz I don't want to waste tea
Most either play Doomblade and serrated bone spike or master assassin and kingsbane. It’s just that one is more rot and one is a little more burst/finishing power.
I play bone spike in shuffle and kings/leathal poison in rbgs
I'm not normally team fighting in an bg
oh and another question why taking tea
i feel like it's never procing/using it since i'm always max energy
mastery bonus
I really hate tea tho
Adding the auto drink mechanic instead of removing it was a terrible idea
In AoE team fights u prob don’t need tea although mastery buff is nice. But in arena some have trouble without tea. Ivanrah says if u pool energy for sanguine blades and let ur bleeds kill u Don’t need tea if u dot well
I just started playing rogue a week ago so I stick to tea cuz I starve myself, playing low cr around 2k in SS. Forced induction route would be nice for bomb gos tho
Also sub rogues eat my butt
Yeah u gotta save trinket for duel or bomb deff
And maybe gouge/blind/evasion/stun or they’ll restun
you shouldn't use macros like this
That's like saying you shouldn't use addons, or write programs to automate repeatable tasks. It's just nonsensical.
Of course a macro can be situationally useful.
no it isn't
the macro you posted is suboptimal
certain macros are great
macroing spells together when they shouldn't be used that way, isn't good
Okay, then tell me what is the correct combination
there isn't a correct combination for any of the spells in that macro
yeah guess who lost
But if you need to press those spells in that sequence, then the macro is optimal
to play sub optimally you don't macro any of your dps spells
So tell me why I shouldn't press them in that sequence
You're giving generalizations without providing actual information
what happens if you need to dance->strike
or dance->cheap shot
i could list probably 10 different reasons
i did most of the stun and damage but still managed to lose
does someone have a clue of what may have doomed me
if you're talking about using that macro while still having everything on it's own bind (dance, symbols, etc) then you're adding an extra keybind just for the macro for no reason.
I can press dance into strike
The point is that if I need to press those three buttons together, which make sense to press in certain situations, I can press one button
That is what a macro does
whatever floats your boat man
Again, you're not actually providing any information
Tell me why that's not three buttons you would ever press together and I'll change it
Assuming you’re using it directly after your first cheap shot, you’d rupture
Give me a sec and I’ll break down the rest
You’d also need to Flag at some point
If you don't evis then you're missing slice and dice?
missing SnD for a couple seconds isn't a big deal at all
thats what I do haha
and then I almost never end up pressing it anyway
complete waste
yep
theres just too many weird ways in which you slightly adjust the ogcd buttons for your burst as sub
i always weave in the off GCDs in between globals
all of your buffs have different durations
so there's an optimal order to press them in between globals
you don't want to waste your charger on that first rupture for example
dance is 8s, symbols is 10s +2 chargers, tea is 6s, blades is 16, then you've also got Flag
you also have Danse Macabre to think about, Darkest Night, etc
just so you know for the future, its always the rogues fault if your team loses
thats why you just have to win all the time
unless there is another rogue in your team who you can blame then its fine to lose
no its the warriors fault who keeps extending dr 2 seconds before it will reset so they can shockwave them for 0.25 seconds
I swear there isnt a single warrior on the entire ladder who tracks stun DR
i feel like a lot of the good warriors aren't playing warrior rn
it just kinda sucks
except like blizo/magnusz
warrior is so fun in shuffle the dmg is pretty insane
yeah it's prolly one of the easiest shuffle classes
you just go in and hammerfist your keyboard
yeah thought id struggle cause of the many utilities
but u win literally by pressing random buttons
or more accurately u can actually win by panic button bashing
or press every button at once
that works too
just press fear on CD idk why but it always hits 2 or 3 guys :^D
Why track when you can zug? 😁
Most don't, good ones do
How dare you do damage when you're not with him man
how dare he heal like a god when he is against me
i lost 5 times a
it was this one
Palumors bust also does the macro I posted for burst
strike > flag > kidney > blades + dance + badge + symbols + tea + evis > strike > tech > cheap > evis > cheap > evis
People reporting others for their own failures. Gotta love it
Had the same thing happen to me the other day. Beat a lock for mines and this dude on the enemy team said I was win trading 😂
imagine i lost against an ench sham who did 100m total damage
some will call it skill issue
i call it racism
not exactly the shining example, but like i said, whatever floats your boat
opinion on my talent ?
it's the same thing as everyone else, not sure what you want us to say
drop the slow duration talent in the class tree it's trash
it's from skill cap
which one (i'm still new to rogue)
drop unbreakable stride, it's trash
you should be playing Featherfoot
oooh
also swap momentum of despair to follow the blood in the hero tree
other than those 2 talent swaps you've got what most people are playing
personally a couple other people and i prefer the pinned build with KB+MA and supercharger
but the build you linked is probably easier to play around as beginner
the problem is i feel like kb doesn't do enough damage
and playing without it reduce the number of button i need to press
it does a good amount of dmg if you use it correctly
ok thx
2.4k player about to pick up my rogue, what spec is the play rn? Or is it different for shuffle/bgb
sub is the best bgb spec
but all 3 can do rogue things so theyre all decent
outlaw is def the weakest in bgb
in shuffle assa is the easiest but arguably outlaw is the strongest rn. Sub is def worst in shuffle
outlaw is the hardest of the 3 though(arguably on par with sub) so assa will be much easier gains than outlaw in shuffle when youre starting out
play assa or sub
outlaw is too random (i'm not saying this cause i do trash damage with it)
- outlaw is can be called an apm class
Outlaws entire rotation is very momentum driven and if you don't know how to recover when you lose momentum it can feel really bad
(icyvein sources) outlaw don't get instantly punished for mistake so u need to know exactly what to do
feral is actually so trash to play its insane, sooooo many frustration points dude
ok
2m hit with bite is trash
I m talking about the trash mechanics like having to shift all the time and hardcast cyclone and trying to land your tiny AoE typhoon and kiting as a melee and maintaining your 6 shitty dots and losing your stuns if you fail stealth and stealthing off of incarn and not the numbers
i tried feral too the play style is very hybrid, its the least fun spec ima leave it for last
and defensively it feels kinda weak with no selfheal and sitting in bearform is lame af
It has two charges of frenzied regen and that big heal with the blue leaf. And instant rejuv procs all the time. Lol but yeah I agree it’s not fun to me
They made it manageable with fluid form to easily switch bear and cat
thats like a crimson vial with 3x the cooldown :d
u got talent that can make u seslf heal and another that make u keep ur stat of bear form in cat fform
It’s weird that moonkin doesn’t have fluid form on par with feral
And they are squishy af
keybinding feral is a pain too
if ur into pures the hybrid style might turn u off
generally classes with spammable self healing dont have dedicated % hp heal buttons on low cds tho
since they can u know, heal themselves whenever they want to
while we can only do it via crimson vial and the like on a cd
no selfheal? wut?
frenzy is way stronger than vial
also they have WAY more self healing
Yeah and bear is strong af
ehhhh
I can duel a Druid and him sit in bear form and be unkillable for my burst lmao
maybe enhance
id be surprised if that isnt enhance
theres not much enhance this season but like
if you heal a lot
when u face a good one
very quickly
they r immortal when they have mana
yea
if they rotate thru it effectively instead of spamming tho
warrior has good healing too if u dont fall out ur rotation
Also enh sacrifices a lot of damage to heal
yeah
dont think they do
they def do
didnt they fix that with the pvp talent
They do
maelstrom weapon no long consumed and doesnt impact heals
When I played last ssn
the rollercoast of fear when i saw feral getting buff
equal to what consuming would have done from those stacks
u no longer use stacks to heal
u need to spend stacks then u can heal for free
Wait. It’s getting buffed again? Or u mean initially months ago?
buff in pve not in pvp
Oh jfc thank god lol.
don't remember which one
people dont really run it
but it's the one with the buff of fire mage
the tree they don't use though
iu don't think so
you usually end up taking static/burrow/crash instead
cuz you almost never drop shamanism or grounding
thats wild to me
you just go oom
so you cant really use that anyway
heal costs like 25% of base mana
maybe just because people dont focus enhance
its actually absurd how little you can heal
and if you go oom as enhance
youre FUCKED
both of those are buffs for pvp too
you cant use anything
even your rotation buttons cost mana
at least some of them
what
yeah but if youre oom you cant press them haha
u regen like 10% mana per 5 as a utility class
