GSW seems like it might be better too since it has more value in your actual burst window cuz youd have a reason to bank up PS procs for crackshot

outlaw is super fun. Ill fully admit Killing spree? pure dopamine

vocal surge
#

So it's exactly like it's SL counterpart

potent pivot
#

I want Blunderbuss, Dreadblades and Flag back

vocal surge
#

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?

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.

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

potent pivot
#

you're not gonna see anyone hit 4m on a player, even a player with zero vers

wraith tangle
#

Man, I saw rogue in live stream hit Jazzgz (top warlock) for 4m, so I guess it is possible

potent pivot
#

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

wraith tangle
#

He showed us dmg meter, went from 50% to 0 in one global. Enveom for 4m. It was last week I think

potent pivot
#

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

wraith tangle
#

Maybe, next round he was hitting for 2,5m. Thx for answer though.

potent pivot
wanton breach
#

lingering darkness is also something to consider (nature damage buff after deathmark ends)

potent pivot
#

lingering wouldn't make you hit that hard compared to just using symbolic

wanton breach
#

and double shiving for 1/2 extra CP on envenom could be a cheesy thing to do too

potent pivot
#

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

wanton breach
#

just hit a 5.7M DfA on the pvp targeting dummy

potent pivot
#

ye you can hit even higher than that on dummies

#

damage on players is way different

wanton breach
#

yeah, gotta test in a duel

potent pivot
#

in arena is the best way

#

certain things only change on instance flag

wanton breach
#

is there a way to 1v1 wargame?

potent pivot
#

not sure

#

i think you need 2 parties

lost sable
#

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

potent pivot

#

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

candid tide
#

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

tender ember
#

dont think like all of those are starting out and never touched it before

Tank DH wins 3 rounds against a 1-5 Fire mage in my lobby

I had a skirm where my frost mage casted Polymorph

#

Warrior used his spell reflect on it

#

and Polymorph got reflected onto me

languid ravine

but how lol

vocal surge
#

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)

languid ravine
#

well that doesnt mean he was playing bad, shadow in my lobby went 5-1 with 300k dps

stoic spruce

Actually I'm getting more wins

(I'm playing more)

Your shadow priest

#

was doing x5 the frost mage's damage

that was on my team

#

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

vocal ginkgo
#

I want to try outlaw now

#

I enjoy learning “difficult” or I guess rewarding specs

proven field
#

Same - I am a glutton for punishment. The more niche the win condition is, the more I enjoy it for some dumb reason

languid ravine
#

I m hardstuck on 1700 as DH (2.3 on assa btw)

#

I guess softstuck but the games are atrocious

wraith tangle
#

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.

proven field
#

Assa easier to burst for sure and is more forgiving but everything is viable

safe pelican
#

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 🦦

#

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 lul

#

the difference in damage between clothies and plate is actually insane ngl

stoic spruce
#

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

steel scarab
#

@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

tribal badger
#

no

#

that is not a thing

#

armor is normalized in pve

steel scarab
#

That seems WILDLY BACKWARDS

tribal badger
#

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

steel scarab
#

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

tribal badger
#

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

steel scarab
#

Cursed

potent pivot
#

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

tribal badger
#

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

potent pivot
#

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

tribal badger
#

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

severe helm
#

but yeah the armor types only really matter for like a few specs which is why it kinda feels outdated

molten hedge
#

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 ?

on r1 lvl high gladiator, ppl in outlaw performs better

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?

potent pivot
#

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

candid tide
#

yeah skillcapped is so out of dated often also

#

cant believe they trick people into buying their sub

severe helm
#

their high level advice is still all very applicable

candid tide
#

well ye the arena master vids are helpful idd

#

but like class courses a bunch of them are for outdated specs

severe helm
#

yeah blizz has been changing specs a lottt

candid tide
#

true too specs changed fast over the course this season

smoky stone
potent pivot
#

i would use murlok.io for builds/gear. and watch actual gameplay from someone like Nahj or another rank 1 playing the spec.

Feel like I have too many dead globals

potent pivot
severe helm
#

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?

pliant mauve
#

No

#

Yeah. Just get 2500

severe helm

#

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.

ocean crypt
#

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

potent pivot
#

take shiv to apply stronger slow

#

use ranged attacks to apply crippling

#

use mobility well, don't just blow it

molten hedge
#

@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?

ocean crypt
molten hedge
#

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

molten hedge
#

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?

molten hedge
#

No

kind parcel
potent pivot
#

ez

kind parcel
#

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

potent pivot
#

11.0.5

kind parcel
#

and rogue community is ok with it?

#

what on earth prompted them to add this crap

potent pivot
#

For the most part it’s just a whatever change

#

It’s not that difficult to play around

kind parcel
#

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

potent pivot
#

It doesn’t significantly impact dps in pve even if you completely ignore it

kind parcel
#

how about they dont press on that talent if they dont want it

#

or have a choice/toggle for that crap passive

potent pivot
#

What’s done, is done

kind parcel
#

you're awfully compliant for a rogue 😛

potent pivot
#

Nah I just don’t complain about stuff that isn’t a big deal for me

kind parcel
#

no one does, unless its a big deal for them 😛

potent pivot
#

(It shouldn’t really be a big deal to anyone)

kind parcel
#

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

potent pivot
#

What spec are you playing

kind parcel
#

make it easy for everyone

#

if they wanna make it easier for noobs

gleaming pawn
#

Tea is such a non-issue when playing assa correctly that several of us don’t even play it anymore

kind parcel
#

assasination

gleaming pawn
#

And Sub only plays it, for the mastery boost

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

tea is never an issue tbh

#

unless u are pveing

#

else u almost never will get energy starved

potent pivot
#

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

kind parcel
#

why pool above 50%

halcyon timber
#

How its been forever generally.

potent pivot
kind parcel
potent pivot
#

Percentages vary from match to match

kind parcel
#

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

potent pivot
#

Tested by tons of people

kind parcel
#

hmm

#

thx

gleaming pawn
#

You also need to get to 80, being level 70 is going to be wonky for all sorts of things

kind parcel
#

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

gleaming pawn
#

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

kind parcel
#

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?

molten hedge
#

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

severe helm
#

sorry fixed that macro

#

not mouseover its cursor

molten hedge
severe helm
#

cuz you dotn want to use it every time you bte

molten hedge
#

GS

severe helm
#

it costs a lot of energy and its a waste if you use it just before your burst for no reason

molten hedge
#

Is it not good to use before a crackshot window

severe helm
#

it is but you dont only bte during crackshot necessarily

molten hedge
#

Or better to send with KS or something

severe helm
#

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

jaunty osprey
#

sup cuties

outer sky
#

@jaunty osprey hey man

#

I wanted to ask you

#

why are you playing Kingsbane lol

#

do you know something we dont

jaunty osprey
#

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

kind parcel
#

Is sub still the king of 1v1 or is assassination as good?

Against other good 1v1 specs that is

outer sky
#

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

jaunty osprey
#

where does sbs buff your bleedds

#

im not playing cold blood

#

i used to, but i played forced induction

outer sky
#

and that was like

#

yesterday

#

maybe didnt update

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

but it usually won't crit

jaunty osprey
#

okay but noncrit

#

is still a good amount

outer sky
#

you play depths enchant too

jaunty osprey
#

noncrit

#

561k

#

what's wrong with depths?

outer sky
#

Nothing I'm just iffy on it

#

I play it as outlaw

jaunty osprey
#

u can play radiant power

#

it doesnt matter

outer sky
#

I'm not convinced its better than radiant for assa

jaunty osprey
#

for me

#

depths does

#

a good amount

#

to my kill target

#

every game

outer sky
#

I swap targets too much to get a lot of value out of depths

#

since its a stacking debuff

jaunty osprey
#

that's fair

#

both enchants are good!

#

i should be playing radiant power since i play

#

an envenom build

outer sky
#

yeah if you get a proc itll gas up your envenom

#

does your gameplay change much between the envenom build and the bleed build?

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

Mine tick for a bit more than that

jaunty osprey
outer sky
#

it did 18m damage in that last SS I did

#

thats almost 3 health bars worth of damage

jaunty osprey
#

4%

outer sky
#

plus the 2% extra bleed dam

jaunty osprey
#

of ur damage

#

did any of it

#

hit pets

outer sky
#

let me see

#

About 500k was to pets

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

it also did 5.6m damage in terms of buffing my bleeds

#

so call it 23.5m

#

plus combo points

jaunty osprey
#

idk

#

i see arena

#

a bit differently

#

than some people

outer sky
#

youre thinking about setting up a kill window not just raw dps

jaunty osprey
#

i feel like it's more important to have

#

damage for goes

#

yeah

outer sky
#

my thing is

jaunty osprey
#

neither are wrong

outer sky
#

ive tried it

#

and i rarely felt like I got a kill

#

because of KB

jaunty osprey
#

i've posted

#

screenshots in here

#

of a big envenom

#

i mean

#

big KB

#

into big envenom

#

let me see if i can find

outer sky
#

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

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

but kingsbane doesn't buff envenom right?

#

so how do you get a 2m envenom

#

forced induction?

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

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

jaunty osprey
#

it probably isnt

#

but i like

#

seeing

#

2.5m envenom

outer sky
#

you still would

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

so on my rogue every additional combo point towards an envenom adds 65,390 damage

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

yeah thats true

#

but tea also has other benefits

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

Envenom is just so slow though

#

I dont press it that much really

#

This was my damage breakdown from the last SS I did

jaunty osprey
#

well

outer sky
#

thats my envenom damage

#

thats 2 envenoms per game

#

and those were long games

jaunty osprey
#

envenom is always #2-3 for me

#

in details

outer sky
#

and I went 5-1

severe helm
#

You aren't always facing a comp you can aoe into though

jaunty osprey
#

in all of these, i played it

outer sky
jaunty osprey
#

it doesnt

severe helm
#

I mean

jaunty osprey
#

i multi dot cause i need scent of blood

#

like

#

the entire right tree

#

is the same

severe helm
#

Gameplay changes more based on their comp

jaunty osprey
#

and the standard build

#

maybe you just have

#

dead globals

severe helm
#

And how they're positioning

outer sky
#

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

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

Lol you got lucky there and you know it

#

its happened to me too

jaunty osprey
#

uhhh

#

i can

#

show u

#

a lot more clips

outer sky
#

DFA something crazy

jaunty osprey
#

if u want

#

i DFA coils and lasso and everything

outer sky
#

You can reliably DFA kiting mechanics?

jaunty osprey
#

every game

#

yes

#

vs stormbolts, coils, lasso, etc

#

when u know

#

someone is gonna press something

#

u just press it

outer sky
#

whats the timing like on that

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

jaunty osprey

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

outer sky
#

and they dont think "this guy is up in the air right now maybe I should wait a second to port"?

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky

true otherwise sub rogue would never be playable

jaunty osprey

exactly

#

the way i play sin is almost like

but rotting evryone too

also

name 1 talent better vs casters

we're taking smoke bomb

on your opener, enemy healer has 30% reduced healing ontop of your wound poison

used once in openr so op xd

jaunty osprey

and

outer sky
#

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

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

jaunty osprey

ya

#

baboon is underestimating blackjack

#

lol

#

regardless, not many better talents to take vs casters

#

DFA is literally a free meld (not stealth part)

outer sky

I like Tricks too ngl

jaunty osprey

see a warlock casting shadowfury and u dont have kick? dfa

outer sky
#

Especially now that kidney is 30s CD

ye i pref like all eu top rogues tricks to boost affli lock xdd

outer sky

so your teammate gets 15% damage every kidney

instead of once per 30sec jump

outer sky
#

i literally macro tricks to kidney

jaunty osprey
#

i know for a fact

#

in shuffle

#

the top eu rogues play blackjack

#

lmao

#

so that's cap

outer sky
#

on Murlok DFA doesnt seem very often chosen

jaunty osprey
#

yeah dfa isnt, it synergizes with forced induction

#

but

#

saying that blackjack is bad

#

is inherently wrong

tender ember
#

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

jaunty osprey
#

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

tender ember
#

u can ofc, u eeven can play supercharged points in us xd

severe helm
#

Dfa has such a short range sadly

#

15 yards

Kinda pitiful

#

But the cc immunity can be really nice

the first few rounds

werent muted

#

it was actually rly good commentary

outer sky
#

#

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

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

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

#

?

jaunty osprey
#

yeah

outer sky
#

so what would you do vs another assa rogue or vs feral/MM or warrior/WW?

jaunty osprey
#

also

outer sky
#

Where youd want veil and disarm

jaunty osprey
#

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

outer sky
#

i feel like

#

WWs never karma me

#

becasue they know better

jaunty osprey

i try to kill them in a bomb

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

severe helm
#

Yeaaaah

I didn't know it wasn't baseline

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

severe helm
#

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

safe pelican

Just drew 3 capture the flags in a row

molten hedge
#

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

severe helm
#

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

vocal surge
#

It's 10% haste + 10% of your haste%

#

40% haste--> 54% haste from Take Your Cut

outer sky
severe helm
#

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

outer sky
#

wouldnt dropping loaded dice for combat stam make more sense?

#

@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

potent pivot
#

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

molten hedge
#

That too. What about Mewo’s other points about dropping stuff if you RTB off cd? I have no idea

potent pivot
#

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

molten hedge

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

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 kekdog 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

potent pivot
#

are epic BG queues always like 30min? shit's wild

molten hedge
#

Is there a minimum CP threshold in the crackshot window and outside of it

potent pivot

you always aim to finish on 5 or more

molten hedge
#

Ok good

#

I sustained 860k DPS on the PvP dummy ST last night for 5 mins. Does that sound pretty accurate

potent pivot
#

idk dummy math always kinda dogshit i don't pay attention to what i do to em

molten hedge
#

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

safe pelican
#

You also play when everyone is at work doe monkascheme

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

you should be above 350k into basically anything even if you're getting cc chained like crazy

molten hedge

Good number to go off of

but it's such a wide margin it's not worth paying attention to

i mean good cc is important in pvp

severe helm
# molten hedge <@151872253229924352> I’m just going off what <@629463378250956810> and Kalvish ...

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

potent pivot
#

cdr in general is more potent in pvp i feel, because you aren't sitting at 100% uptime like a sim

sour coral
#

why do some outlaw rogues use a dagger offhand?

molten hedge
#

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

sour coral
#

i thought that stuff was normalizd

potent pivot
sour coral
#

o7

severe helm
#

But you lose overall cdr if you're pressing it and losing any decent buff

potent pivot
#

i just don't think that's how it shakes out

severe helm
#

It is a lot more energy efficient than ambush but not PS so that's probably why it made Josiah feel less energy starved

severe helm
potent pivot
#

the TC you've done for pve just doesn't translate to pvp man

#

like 90% of it

severe helm
#

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."

/cast Symbols of Death
/cast Thistle Tea
/cast Eviscerate```
dark stump

My opener right now is SB, cheap, press this macro, strike, Secret tech, cheap, evis, cheap evis

dark stump
#
  • 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?

lapis flare
#

Why not

#

It's three instant spells, a macro is way faster

dark stump
lapis flare
#

I only press the macro with blades, otherwise I manually press dance+symbols cuz I don't want to waste tea

molten hedge
lapis flare
#

I play bone spike in shuffle and kings/leathal poison in rbgs

I'm not normally team fighting in an bg

dark stump
#

oh and another question why taking tea
i feel like it's never procing/using it since i'm always max energy

lapis flare
#

mastery bonus

#

I really hate tea tho

#

Adding the auto drink mechanic instead of removing it was a terrible idea

molten hedge
#

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

lapis flare
#

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

molten hedge
#

Yeah u gotta save trinket for duel or bomb deff

#

And maybe gouge/blind/evasion/stun or they’ll restun

potent pivot
lapis flare
#

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.

potent pivot
#

the macro you posted is suboptimal

#

certain macros are great

#

macroing spells together when they shouldn't be used that way, isn't good

lapis flare
#

Okay, then tell me what is the correct combination

potent pivot
#

there isn't a correct combination for any of the spells in that macro

dark stump
#

yeah guess who lost

lapis flare
#

But if you need to press those spells in that sequence, then the macro is optimal

potent pivot
#

to play sub optimally you don't macro any of your dps spells

lapis flare
#

So tell me why I shouldn't press them in that sequence

#

You're giving generalizations without providing actual information

potent pivot
#

what happens if you need to dance->strike

#

or dance->cheap shot

#

i could list probably 10 different reasons

dark stump
potent pivot
#

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.

lapis flare
#

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

potent pivot
#

whatever floats your boat man

lapis flare
#

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

potent pivot
#

Give me a sec and I’ll break down the rest

#

You’d also need to Flag at some point

lapis flare
#

If you don't evis then you're missing slice and dice?

potent pivot
#

missing SnD for a couple seconds isn't a big deal at all

severe helm
#

and then I almost never end up pressing it anyway

#

complete waste

potent pivot
#

yep

severe helm
#

theres just too many weird ways in which you slightly adjust the ogcd buttons for your burst as sub

potent pivot
#

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

languid ravine
#

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

severe helm
#

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

potent pivot

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

potent pivot
#

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

languid ravine
#

its not random, its either 1, 2 or 3

#

and or 2 and 3

candid tide
#

or more accurately u can actually win by panic button bashing

languid ravine
#

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

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

dark stump
#

and playing without it reduce the number of button i need to press

potent pivot
#

it does a good amount of dmg if you use it correctly

timid gust
#

2.4k player about to pick up my rogue, what spec is the play rn? Or is it different for shuffle/bgb

severe helm
#

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

dark stump
#

outlaw is too random (i'm not saying this cause i do trash damage with it)

#
  • outlaw is can be called an apm class
severe helm
#

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

dark stump
#

(icyvein sources) outlaw don't get instantly punished for mistake so u need to know exactly what to do

languid ravine
#

feral is actually so trash to play its insane, sooooo many frustration points dude

languid ravine
#

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

candid tide
#

i tried feral too the play style is very hybrid, its the least fun spec ima leave it for last

languid ravine
#

and defensively it feels kinda weak with no selfheal and sitting in bearform is lame af

molten hedge
#

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

languid ravine
#

thats like a crimson vial with 3x the cooldown :d

It’s weird that moonkin doesn’t have fluid form on par with feral

#

And they are squishy af

candid tide
#

keybinding feral is a pain too

tribal badger
#

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

severe helm
#

also they have WAY more self healing

molten hedge
#

Yeah and bear is strong af

severe helm
#

I think feral might have the most self healing of any melee

#

by a huge margin

tribal badger
#

ehhhh

molten hedge
#

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

thats about it

enhance goes oom though

theres not much enhance this season but like

if you heal a lot

when u face a good one

they r immortal when they have mana

the tree they don't use though

dark stump
severe helm

you usually end up taking static/burrow/crash instead

#

cuz you almost never drop shamanism or grounding

tribal badger
#

thats wild to me

severe helm
#

you just go oom

#

so you cant really use that anyway

#

heal costs like 25% of base mana

tribal badger
#

maybe just because people dont focus enhance

potent pivot
severe helm
#

its actually absurd how little you can heal

#

and if you go oom as enhance
