it isn't an aoe buff
oooh
idk all i know is i faced an enhance who was getting tunneled in a lobby and he ran this thingy
and he was immortal
apex predator is bite proc. basically this is buffing apex procs off your multi dots.
every heal was like 60-70% hp
I mean again you can only heal yourself 4-5 times
he just cast one every 10-20s
but yeah their heals are strong
while playing defensivly
theyre just as strong on allies though too so
it doesnt have any more or less impact attacking them vs their teammate
they receive a little extra healing from themselves
via
were losing the plot though lol
feral def has lots of self healing
for sure
ferals offhealing and self healing is pretty good, defensivly id say its decent as a spec on a whole
instant self heal cd, active self healing, bear form and regen, barkskin and survival instincts
ferals defensiveness comes from its mobility a lot too
yup
thats how I feel as outlaw
kiting melee with grapple is hilarious
its so underutilized defensively
feral just dies when barkskin and si are off
bear form does not have a cd
its not as strong as its been historically but its definitly noticable
idk i feel like theres melee that feel much more squishy
Good thing we can stun them in kitty
u just gotta survive wincarn
i was a main mage until i met a feral
yes dying in a stun is a common thing lol
I always find it funny when people are like "no but X dies in a stun so easily theyre so squishy"
like yeah thats how you kill things in pvp
some classes have stuff they can press in cc tho
the specs that can use all their defensives inside a stun usually end up being tuned to just die to passive damage overtime or they are waaay too tanky
that's kinda what the saying means
Yeah but that doesnt mean you are/arent squishy
ofc
the defensives are balanced around how/when they can be used so its just a bad counterpoint lol
like outlaw dies in a stun
is outlaw squishy?
fuck no
certain things are tanky af but can die in a stun
Yeah exactly
some things are kinda squishy but don't die as easily in a stun
warlock
and vice versa
yeah it generally has no bearing on tankiness haha
everything dies in shuffle at a point if u dont have uptime
rip the warlock who was dumb enough to los his healer
yeah thats why they invented dampening haha
honestly dampening going up faster in shuffle does have a significant impact on the meta in that mode compared to 3s
it def changes things
its funny cause feral is one of the few specs with stuff to hit in a stun right
i think there arent all that many things u can press in a stun anymore tbh
but barkskin is one of them
i think more classes have defensives for stuns than not
theres a ton now
yeah def more with than without
for sure
shaman
warrior
hunter
only arms cant
Shaman doesn’t?
nope
sham cant wall during stuns
oh dev cant right
evoker cant
well pres has communion
pres can use a healing cd in a stun but thats about it
so I count it
sure i wouldnt call that a stun defensive
since that is a pretty major healing cd and if u get pres to use it on just a self heal in a stun
thats a massive win
its more than half that have at least something to press during a stun to save themselves
its more like race against time than a chess match
I feel like classes with good 1-1.5min CDs should be better in shuffle but it just depends on rating too ig
Because sub for example is kinda ass
back when boomy was 3 min
it just auto won on second incarn
and you could play around that hard
had one of the highest cutoffs in shuffle for like multiple seasons in a row
even when it wasnt in meta in 3s
Don’t they have 2 now
Imagine feral with 2 charges of incarn kek
bro dk is so hard tf
That’s gotta be one of the strongest CDs in the game atm
which spec?
unholy
ai trust the process
Instead of energy you have runes
And instead of combo points you’ve got runic power
the rotation is so edgy need a balance between stuff
Hi, I am new to wow and going to play a rogue. Which spec has the easiest rotation and should I play. From my understanding Night Elf is the race I should use. Any guides that anyone would recommend for a beginner. I would like to do a lot of pvp.
assa
Thanks so Assassin Night elf.
ye
Thanks I will give it a try
I’d just use murlok.io for gear and builds later on, after you’re max level. Look up some generic pvp guides, just remember as far as builds/rotation etc vids get outdated quickly
k thanks for tips appreciate it. Will need all the help I can get.
assa and use a build from murlok or icyvein without KB
(king's bane)
If you’re not afraid of a learning curve, picking up subtlety early will go a long way though
Playing sub for even a week made me super aware when I switched back to another spec
K thanks
and playing outlaw for a week made go back to assa
Lmaooo im the opposite. I got bored of assa. I find outlaw fun as hell
But it’s only been 3 days. Let’s give it 4 more
Does what server I choose matter? I hear it does not matter. I was going to choose a less populated RP server.
i feel like it's good to learn how to play all 3 specs. all 3 won't always be good like they are rn
it only matters for certain things, like buying gear on the auction house
If they buff sub I’ll deff be going to that
more populated servers usually have much cheaper crafted gear etc
the only thing that i learnt from outlaw is pressing the right button
So the server will not affect que times for like solo shuffle and BG's etc?
nope
k cool
exception to the auction house dg or pvp queueing are mix server
most auction house stuff is region wide, except for gear and other certain things
loved the time when i had a macro in df for sub rogue
2 sec one dead
but like crafting mats, consumables, pots/flasks/etc, are region wide
I was reading about GSE Macro but appears to not work so well for rogues.
k that is what I was thinking.
GSE ? what does it mean?
the only spec in the game that somewhat works with GSE is BM Hunter
but you still have to press your stuns and other utility yourself
Gnome Sequencer
I totally forgot I was testing ln and dropped forced ind and one supercharger for leech and vigor lmao
it's an addon that let's you macro an entire rotation to 1 button
the only time when u use macro is to stun ur focus target or two spell that need to be together
it's not recommend to use if you want to play optimally, especially in pvp
do we get the leeching fangs heal while vanished?
every 5 sec while OOC
Hm seems like a solid cloak enchant then if we vanish cheese enough
ye its good
especially with soothing darkness on top of all that
idk why more ppl don't run it
They care about that 1% speed that they never notice the different of
I guess most people just read the “every 5 sec OOC” and assume it’s trash
Does it insta heal when you Vanish?
Or meld
Or do you have to stay OOC for 5sec for the first heal
That’s kinda the important thing ig
Stay out of combat for 5 seconds but if you vanish, you’re ooc for at least 3 seconds if you use it defensively
and if u’re at a pillar can def get much more value out of it
Leeching is insane
What professions should I choose as an Assassination Rogue?
makes up for not having the snd heal constantly running
Professions have no combat impact in pvp
engineering for anything non .. serious though
ok thanks
or even if u rlly want to do profession choose something leatherwork maybe but it's 0 impact
last night hit 1600 on mw ( haven't played since legion) 
why are u flexing ? (hardstuck 1k5 in ss)
fresh toon geared out in a few days, this a milestone for me as i dont play healer and only dabbled during end of legion.
why so salty?
did i say anything salty ?
i asked a geniune question
both are good for cleaving but assa is simple to play
sorry if i have taken this the wrong way
no problem all good

im so used to people bashing 😂 Im like dam i know im hard stuck why u gotta rain on my parade 🤣 not realizing you might be talking about yourself being stuck
Probably outlaw
alrighty so im about to hit 80 ive got almost a full set of forged warmonger waiting for me should I craft cloak and bracers for elemental focusing lense?
if you've got a full set of wpvp gear ready, craft rings/neck
Ive been busy idk why It all just added up and I eventually had all these bloody tokens
Was excited to play a bit but it’s been 30+ mins in a solo shuffle queue
Not that excited anymore
ill miss solo shuffle
er
no the other thing, the event that was going on
whatever its called
comp stomp?
yes but Gun™
Conquest box luck getting 2Hs on a fresh fury warrior 🙌
i wonder which should i try pvp with
any suggestion (dps)
what, an alt?
yes
surv is fun, dk is fun
rofl outlaw melts mages
so fun
aww the healer quit lol
I relaly feel like having armor still in the game just leads to these situations where some specs just get an absurd rock paper scissors advantage over others for no real reason
I think I need to pve more on outlaw. I lean towards the micro cc like DR cheaps and gouge during my burst but I needa just full send it. I also was just in a lobby where me and surv deleted the mage and lock just going all in lol
Ya, but that’s the beauty of shuffle
u cant win em all
some comps and matchups favour u, some dont
I meant in general
I was saying this from the perspective of the person winning haha
in terms of balancing though it makes blizz's life harder
That mage shouldve won with the sp and u
how do you balance specs like MM when they can destroy a mage but do piss damage to a war
only round he loses default is with WW
we didnt make it there the healer left
he did win with me
but thats not my point
my point is more around how do you design around armor values
its a nightmare from a balance perspective
I mean look at it this way
MM has an MS, shuffle starts with dampening
and most lobbies have 1-2 casters
ok well
u partner with a feral then
and u guys win by ccing and bursting
before BM takeover, MM was the most popular spec to start the season
and the first few weeks to follow it
every spec can preform quite well as long as u arent running some rando comp
Wym, it’s completely controllable
The game has to be balanced like this
you shouldnt have a game where everyone offers the same toolkits and strengths
🫡
Making plate classes squishier and the clothies tankier isn’t the solution
Each class has stuff in their toolkits to account for their lack of/ excess of armor
I think it’s completely fine that a MM hunter can pump into a mage but not into a warrior
and it’s not like the warrior is unkillable at all
its not always as simple as that
MM doesnt just pump into mages back in DF there were times MM was forcing cauterize in a gcd from stealth
Warrior heals plenty if it can stick on u
especially in the current season where BM hunters are every lobby it feels like mage is ass
And if u have good uptime with ignore pain dudes just stop targeting u altogether
well, y’all missing the point of the topic regarding armour
a good mage doesnt just fall over to bm hunters anyway because of their toolkit
I saw raiku vs mariabanks yesterday in shuffle he had it rough
true but im saying the way blizz balanced the game it isnt always as simple as hunter pumps mage abit more than they do with warrior
And raiku still won the lobby no?
its heavily favoured into hunter
using the best mage in the world as an example of mages being able to win vs hunters is not a good example either ngl
Im saying
okay again not what im saying
Normalizing armour does nothing
my point is why have an abitrary strength do to armor/physical damage makeup between specs
normalizing armor allows you to tune a spec like mage to be not shit against MM/outlaw but not be OP against assa or enhance or something
true, but it isnt that low key
I think its fundamentally unfun to have matchups where youre inherently VERY disadvantaged due to some stupid core mechanic of the game when it came out 10 fucking years ago
theres just no reason for that
it makes it harder to balance
if they want mage to be weak vs mm
why not just make MM have a passive that says "does 15% more damage to mages"
and at least it would be tunable at that point
instead of just tied to armor values which are so archaic
they have that passive, it’s called armor types
and now one patch MM gets a hero talent that makes them do more magic damage
whoops that nerfed them against mages
and mages have absorbs and alter and self heals
like
why tie so many thigns together
wrhen you already have trouble balancing the game
that’s why they have less armor
the devs do not have enough skill/time to fix all these issues
so removing things that add unecessary complexity would be healthy for the game
theres just no incentive to keeping it
it’s already in place
yeah spriest has a stupid passive that makes them take a ton less damage
BUT
that passive only procs if youre taking phsyical hits
so you get destroyed by double caster comps as spriest
yes exactly
like weird interactions like that make the game so much more unbalanced than it should be
its really j ust making their jobs harder
and leading to unctrolled meta environmented
so its just not good for the game
theres so many negative externalities to those systems
they need to do a better job of having tuning knobs that have only one outcome
instead of one knob that affects 300 different outcomes/situations
normalizing armor types would remove that and improve the ability for them to balance
I mean if you really believe what you say then I dont know why they wouldnt add in even MORE arbitrary interactions
why not make fire mages do extra damage to druids cuz theyre nature haha
why not mmake frost do extra damage to fire and destro locks
why not make hunters do more damge to feral cuz theyre hunting an animal
like
those interactions are bad
thats why they dont add more
they keeep the old ones cuz theyre legacy things
but theyre definitely not good for the game in any regard
luckily theres verrrry few specs that do pure phsyical damage nowadays
most of the balance in favor of mages in those situations comes from kiting
thats why hunters have always been the bane of mages existence cuz the only ranged physical damage spec
no one likes feeling like the odds are inherently stacked against them before the match even starts
I mean
some amount of counter comp should exist thats a little healthy
but to the degree of MM into mage is not fun
Evokers and paladins counter assa rogue straight up
Which class is the bane of hunters
like
every spec in the game
has another spec
that counters them
or the odds are against them
out of the gate
yeah but theres healthy levels of it
Rog has no counters at the top
MM into mage isnt and has never been healthy
assa has counters
idk if id say any class is a counter to hunter so much as hunter isnt super strong into any class but mage it feels like
trading a defensive for an offensive isnt that big a deal
Assa dies to air
a mage has so many barriers and alters and displacement healing
but having a spec that does 30% extra damage to you cuz of your armor type not accounting for a ranged physical spec is kinda bad
it isnt auto loss mage v hunter
im not saying to remove every single situation where one ability is good against another ability
im also not saying to remove all situations where one spec feels strong into another spec
I just think the degree to which mage is weak to hunter is beyond a healthy point
and the other negatives of armor types like spriest into caster cleave also arent great
any time they try to "solve" armor type issues with some other kiting/passive/tuning they end up causing more problems
so get to the root of the damn issue and remove armor types and balance accordingly haha
BM is a little strong rn but overall there needs to be couters to mages
And frost auto-slows need to be removed
the auto root that has no DR is def toxic
but mobility is its own can of worms Im not even gona touch rn
dont get me wrong, i played mage and got glad on it every season that i played it
i laugh when i play mages vs warriors, monks, rogues, rets
they have 0 uptime
It’s just some classes counters others
it’s fine
All depends on players skill
For assa when are you all pressing ur first DM in SS. I'm not playing kings. I try to get a trinket in the opener and then bomb the next full kidney with DM.
I've been playing rogue for about 2 weeks after healing for the past decade and it's fun I got to 2k and now I fear frost and bm
It's so hard to get uptime on them
I feel like I hard counter most melee and spriest
you playing assa im guessing?
yeah assa is v strong into melee cuz stacking benefits it a lot
get to just crank damage
I try to always go ranged if it's ranged/melee to drag the melee on top but sometimes my partner ignores my pings and tries to 2v2 with a hunter pveing him in the background
its very frustrating
Ya and luckily the rated modes arent 1v1
So it relies on coordination from teammates
Play with the mindset to support ur mates optimally
wasnt there a 1v1 bracket?
I think the thing I am best at having been a healer main is surviving. I watch my healers CDs and stop CC on the healer, actually use my defensives. I feel like that alone gets you 1800
It's insane how many people just don't pop a defensive
There was in cata i can recall
Ah no Ijust had a different visual on what solo shuffle was lol
this dude has never played into destro frost mage clearly
nothing feels worse as assa than having 3 enemy players stand 40 yards apart and just tunnel damage into you
Sub rog is too versatile when its good
Comments on this are hilarious
does blitz rbg give more conq/honor than ss ?
subs super hard to balance
either people think its F tier or its S+++ tier
truuuuu
dev frost dk also feels like a counter when its good
esp as outlaw
you just cant kill them before they get enough goes and you run out of cds and they 1 shot your whole team
Sin rogues biggest counters are other rogue specs and sin rogues
Its a class thats too op in the hands of skilled people
well its a spec that does all its damage in a 6 second window and doesnt get punished at all for running away and doing literally no damage in between goes
the latter part I think is a big component to why its op
it can play absurdly defensive
and it doesnt hurt hem at all
its very broken
Thats a accurate take on it
theres no other spec in the game like that I think
everyone knows how hard it is to kill sub rogue
And is the best at stopping peoples goes
No
No
& No
Shit is slowwwww play 2s or farm honor in epic bgs if alliance
doing the dailies seems like the quickest way for honor
do a quick skirm
quick 2s/3s
the weekly]
if youre a healer SS is insanely fast conq
the bonus they give is pretty massive
bte average dam into plate classes lol
So to you higher rated blitz players are you telling i really have to win 15-20 games straight to reallly PUSH in blitz ?
That is absurd in an 8v8 structure this is pure luck imo am i wrong like ?
How do i keep the tide in my favor for 15-20 games and win without a single loss
By being the luck
Just do what you can to get points on the board it all adds up
Cap a flag if u can run one back. Steal a base. Grab an orb rack up some kills
whats the easiest way to target people who dont have your dots on them? is there a way to quickly swap between such targets without cycling through everyone using tab for example?
or manually clicking if there is like 40 targets there on top of each other
the best way is to keybind target arena 1/2/3
yes but im talking about battlegrounds where u can potentially have 15-40 people on top of each other moving fast so I cant easily click on the ones that dont have dots
is there a way to auto target the ones that dont have them
Arena123 plus insane human reaction clicking like pros do
for BGs you're cooked
you gotta click
Bg is a dot paradise for lock
haha
more like 40
if youre talking about cr
if youre talking about mmr you can get that up super fast
you get like 100 mmr per win in blitz its insane
best thing you can do is configure your nameplates better
stacking nameplates can help and adjusting the settings/using a nameplate addon to control which buffs display, how close they can stack, etc is very helpful
thx guys
Nah I’m talking about the cr lmao I’ve been playing at 2k+ MMR but I’m just bout to crest 1.6k like wtf
if anyone has specific examples please send me DMs
And i still get 13 rating for a win
So dumb
Ngl a lot of my not pushing was not knowing how to properly sap into blind cap
I held shrine down for cap from a pally frost mage and shaman after i sap capped the mage rogue tings
Yeah I mean max you can get cr per win is 24
you should be getting more than 13 for a win though with your mmr 400 above your cr
@potent pivot remember the other day when I had that memory leak and my pc froze in the 3rd round of a solo shuffle? Just checked my rating today, I went from 1960 to ~1700 lol
Pretty harsh leaver penalty, especially for someone who has never left a game before and certainly didn't do it intentionally. That said, the good news is I clawed my way back to 1950 in 3 matches
dope
Why do people leave BG Blitz and risk losing 200 rating ?
I mean the match is going to be over in less than 8mins while rage quit out and ruin the game for yourself lol
Can someone explain how you sap people when you're in combat?
Do you somehow detect an enemy who is out of combat then target them and sap
Or do you use arena 123 sap macro for example
Assassin needs to vanish or shadow eld to do it right since u have to be in stealth to sap whilst sub can SD right?
You sap if they drop combat
You have to meld->stealth and no there’s no need for sap1/2/3 macros
the dc penalties suck but its an unfortunate side effect to catch all possible leavers
cuz if you could do it without losing points people would absolutely unplug their pcs haha
some people just wild like that haha
As much as I hate them I wish they’d get anti cheat
It’s probably not even possible for an anti cheat to mesh with wow or something
But man it’d be nice
There’s kick bots, bots that play the entire game for you, lots of bots that farm gold
But yes I feel like there’s be a way to detect leavers
But shutting off your router would probably get around any DC protection or something
what im surprised by is how I dont hear about it being a problem in PvE
seems like the perfect environment for that
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is pve bots
That are just kept extremely hush hush
yeah true
Can you imagine the amount of money you could rake in from boosting bots
But maybe blizz is actually just good at banning it idk
It doesn’t make sense for there to be full functioning pvp bots and not pve bots
The programmers would also have to do an insane amount of work though
Every season
Might not be worth the time investment compared to just programming gold farmers
oh true yeah
people will happily pay money to get higher rating in pvp
might not be as tru ein pve for wahtever reason
Funnily enough I haven’t seen any full auto play pvp bots for retail
Mostly classic
I’ve seen retail bots that cast dps rotation and auto kick, but they don’t move or CC for you
ven did a whole seriers on it
They have ground overlays that show you your attack range as well
he got some inside videos of the ad videos showing how the bot behaves
it does literally everything
theyre some leaked promo stuff
Oh I watched those
they were fully autonomous
Even CC?
Been a while since I watched it
That’s fucked
that it was demod
which is impressive
would never have htought of mage
fire I think
I wonder how many bots we play against
good question
I’ve heard kick botters are really prevalent in eu
Yeah for a while it was just a script/macro
that was around for over a decade apaprently
Ye ik
one of hte best kept secrets of pvp from what I hear
Bicmex whistle blew that shit
yeye
so glad it got done
then a TON of bans when out when blizz found a way to detect the script use
like holy shit
even on NA
Yeah
yeah thats kinda true
is that just cuz less carries?
or some other hidden thing you think
Well carries are still ok to do
It was from win trading, botting, and piloting
Carries and pilots are still a huge problem
Carries are kinda w/e really
But it’s wild how much piloting still goes on, because if done well it’s basically impossible to detect without some kind of anti cheat
what the general basic opener for assa? CS, garrote/rupture, shiv, envenom? obviously its all situational, but just the typical run of the mill rotation on a setup. Trying to get use to assassination and get proper keybinds
There’s not much of a “set up” just try to upkeep bleeds on as many targets as possible, use CC well etc
guys with outlaw should fatebound coin flip dmg my nr.1?
its not entirely abnormal for it to be
it probably shouldnt be every single game
and it shouldnt be by a huge margin when it is
but it being #1-#3 is common
correct
hi guys, hitting 2100 are t here any rewards for pvp?
I think 2100 is Cloak transmog for your back slot
2100 is also for elite weapon mogs
Although imo this season has some turbo ass weapon mogs
The daggers/swords are pretty sick imo
Turbo ass is a diabolical combination of words 😂
I like the weapons! I am not a big fan of red so the white shade is a nice change for me.
I like when team agrees to a plan (Battleground blitz) & once match starts the plan goes out the window & they forgot chat exist when inc calling

I like the Spear and 2H-Axe but the rest is mehhhhhh
Why is outlaw suddenly “S-tier” in all pvp tier lists? Haha
Has anything changed? Wasn’t aware of any changes
People overhyping it
Ignore tier lists man
They’re the biggest waste of your time
Easy terrible content
I wouldnt call it s tier but its very fun to play.
I am on the fence of dropping it to learn sub but I mostly do solo play/bgs so I think outlaws my best bet
historically I think Sub might be the better dueler? I find myself in more 1v1s lately so I might play to those strengths
Where can we get these transmorgs upon hitting 2100?
vendor in pvp area of the city
All I see is the guy selling conquest gear
The guy selling honor gear
The guy selling bloody tokens gear
And the guy selling the vicious bloodstones and crafting recipes
There a transmorgs vendor ?
keep looking
It's on the opposite side of the whole PvP plaza or whatever you call it. The building between the PvP dummies.
Notrickz am i better off doing sub or outlaw for BGs and yolo solo stuff
just play what you prefer to play imo
I now had 3 bgs on my priest in a row where people either left right at the start or just went afk the whole game
Low rated bgs are hell
I wish they made it so you start at 1.4 rating if you achieved 2k on an alt
to skip all those absolute clowns in the lower brackets
I wouldn't mind the occasional forced loss either, if the queue wasn't 20+ minutes each time
Blitz has to be the only competitve game I ever played where games actually get easier once you get higher rating. Crazy.
tyyy i found it!
hah running away from a ret pally blasting him with gun is reason enough to stick to outlaw
that was fun
Hmmm I mostly do solo content and rbgs with my friends but the thing with outlaw is that I haven’t been able to find updated guides or anything at all
I already know how to play assassination and my rogue is 1800+ (not a big deal I know lol) but I really have no idea how to play outlaw
Wanna try it out though because it looks fun and also wanna be an absolute menace in flag maps
Can you teach me the ways of the outlaw?
Anyone know if it's possile to get heraldries from those conquest boxes you can send to your alts?
Not sure haven’t got any yet from them just gear
@jaunty osprey What PvP talents would you play into this? I feel like bomb, veil, and disarm are all mandatory here but that leaves no room for hemo which you said is always mandatory
laughs in dwarvish finally
idk even as a dwarf, being able to remove feral bleeds twice rather than just once every 2m would still be really good
Hey can I pick your outlaw brain?
who is your healer?
rsham
Anyway, it'd be bomb, veil and hemo
or
hemo veil and disarm
you never drop hemo
your wound will fall off sometimes but you still have bleeds on people
@jaunty osprey after deathmark + bleeding everyone, what am I supposed to be doing apart from CC? Am I looking to restealth or kiting away if I’m the kill target?
I find myself playing as if I was a warrior sometimes and that never ends up well
depends on the comp you're facing really
if you have full bleeds up, you can just spam fan of knives and keep CT up and make sure everyone stays rotting
but if you have a good chance to go for a restealth and get improved garrotes out and cheapshot multiple targets
that's always a good option
Awesome ty
but like if you JUST opened on people and everyone is still on FRESH drs, no real point in going for a restealth
** laughs at you in Nelf **
Is there an outlaw @jaunty osprey here? 🤣🤣🤣
Just a few replies from the man and I went from never touching assassination to 1800+ in no time
Leave me be I gotta win sometime, I’m like 3’ tall!
Yeah I’m just joking because finally my racial has a response to something
so, deathstalker now is objectively better than trickster in pvp?
single targetting someone for sure is better but what about aoe? bcs trickster was amazing with nimble flurry
Sure what you got
Do you play super charger or vigor?
Supercharger all the way. I gave up vigor when it came out. Took a day or so to get used to but the energy regen is still good with bones buffs and you get even more CDR especially with 10cp finishers
and you get killing sprees that hit for 200 million dmg and take 17 minutes; it's actually amazing
Mostly yeah. Unless I have 5 buffs that includes the CDR buff. Then I probably try to keep that for some extra seconds instead of rerolling right away
But I’m usually rerolling the second bones is off CD
So if you're doing that, do you drop count the odds for greenskins and loaded dice for slight of hand? I feel like your should since rolling on CD means you're just going to be rolling away the cto and loaded dice buffs
I still run CTO. It feels needed. I’ve tried dropping for greenskin but definitely feel more energy starved when I do that. I’ve actually been running loaded dice and sleight of hand. But I sometimes swap out loaded dice for something like dirty deeds or improved MG. Feel like sleight is better for the 15% chance for another buff since I’m rolling off the loaded dice extra buff pretty quickly
So you don't play swift slasher?
ive been dropping cto for gsw and dropping loaded for slight with my SC build
it feels amazing actually
if I run cto + loaded dice I dont play SC
non SC build def is more overall damage but the SC + GSW + sleight is much stronger goes
This what I usually run
sleight and loaded dice dont function well together
just drop loaded dice at that point
if youre playing SC
essentially sleight doesnt activate if loaded dice is active
I usually drop loaded for dirty deeds or imp MG. Just depends on the day lol
It’s pretty nice not having energy cost to cheap when you cheap up a whole team lol
heavy hitter is kinda strong
and longer range blind is reaaaaaally good
I think its troll to drop that honestly
were a cc/utility spec afterall
so loaded dice giving you maybe 1-2% more damage vs short cd/longer range blind is kind of a clear pick up
So if RTB comes off CD during crackshot do you roll during crackshot or wait? Also what if you roll>vanish>between the eyes and then KS comes off CD so now you're in crackshot with a supercharge and KS is off CD so it would benefit from super charged. Do you use the supercharge proc to do a KS or hold KS until after crackshot and just not care about buffing it with super charger?
@spring bough
never KS during crackshot
supercharger on bte is close to as good as supercharger on KS
cuz the extra cps increase ace proc chance
I mostly play trickster for solo. And more fatebound for blitz. I do a diff rotation with trickster. I prio coup > KS so I can get maximum unseen blade procs off the KS. When I do fatebound I only KS outside of crackshot windows. I usually don’t reroll in a window either but that depends too
Was getting Milly BTE crits on plate as trickster the other day. Felt great
If I were running trickster. I would probably be hitting KS in a crack window if I had supercharged combo points. Because that could be a 2.5mil plus finisher if it crits good
But that goes against all the guides even tho it works in practice in my experience
lol that supercharged KS goes Brrrrr idc what the stats say, I see people dying and that’s all the proof I need 😂
I miss hitting KS might need to roll some Pirate later off work soon 🥳
I like having a button that does damage but I HAAAATE the teleporting
its so fucking obnoxious can they just keep the camera still and make my model teleport around like blade rush
ive been sitting afk
in isle of dorn on two accounts
getting 60 cq every 15 mins
farming chests?
Yea the teleporting does give you a mini epilepsy attack when it’s late at night
from what?
gotta be chests that are respawning faster from weekly
already fully gear without any games played
waiting for someone to craft my ring
240 conq an hour still would take like 20 hours to get all yourgear right?
well a mix of bloody token g ear too
ah
from the supply crates
and sometimes if u fly into dornogal and back out, you hop shards and can get another crate instantly
I swear it's tied to PVP activity in the zone - if the weekly is in a zone the chests come sometimes every few mins
Healer alt pretty slick at this pt in the season
but theres like 30 games in your steam library that you wanted to finish what about those mate
Classic Anniversary is out
Get out there and make a char, get up to about level 21 or so and then park it forever
but re-live those 2-3 VC runs and 1-2 WC runs
When I get bored I try out a new spec/class
Lmao that’s what you get for being #1 & #2 buddy who you gunna compete with #0 ??
You didn’t fully think this through 🤣🤣
mbn brother mbn , go krazy 🤝
D:
at least ima gonna stream this alt rogues games for fun
just so i have vods up when people ask what i do vs certain comps
no shot
my first lobby on alt rogue
is 300 mmr lower than me
What is easier to learn for bgb and some SS - outlaw or sub?
Seems like I could itemize for sub with just a few changes to my assa gear, but I feel like it's harder to play than outlaw
Assa is like training wheels rn for rogue
Outlaw is good for objective play style cause of quad hook
Sub is just sub , has duel as well and dance letting you cheap the entire team virtually, I would say the edge for sub rn would be in arenas and shuffle i don’t see how it would be better than assa which can team fight well enough on the dmg meter to actually get heals from the healer and outlaw with quad hook can change a game in seconds
Above is for BGB , SS i would still put assa as the easiest spec to play rn i don’t know how you could come to the conclusion that outlaw is easier rn with all The button bloat, maybe you naturally attract to that spec better and you should play it in that case 💯🤝
I agree assa is easy, I am looking to learn a second spec
I read your sentence wrong tbh I’m fried my bad but yea outlaw easier to play than sub I would say RN with the current tuning Outlaw is just intimidating because of the rotation once you get that down it’s cool and you get choices from all that button bloat that was so intimidating when you first started
I need to stop playing with an Rsham in 2s they cant keep me up as Assa
I am looking to learn outlaw too
hrm maybe I should try assassination. I really dig outlaw and im okay at it but I wouldnt mind turnin off my brain a little bit at times
ill grind a few more bloody tokens and snag a seocnd agger to try it out ill come back with my findings later lol
it kills me sometimes seeing how ungabunga ret pallies can be
dk makes me wanna quit the game
its depressingly useless, no wonder mes has been playing his alts all the time
Ahhh thought you meant the opposite like itw as bothering ya to play against
u can easily ignore dk in arena and just go full ham on other dps
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/assassination/deathstalker/DAOFVVRFFQUVQmJBQCBENVUVVVEJQRFiQUBVEFVVUCFADgzzWgwYBgwko looks right.. right?
ill miss dragon tempered blades but I love mega shivs
yep
looks perfect
you can swap lingering darkness hero talent for symbolic if you want though
and cheat death instead of elusiveness UNLESS you're really good at pressing feint
Outlaw is insane with elusiveness bc you can farm back feint charges in about the time it takes for it to drop off lmaoo
What kills is that they’re a mid range spec now like wtf
Kiting them? Nahh
1m hammer on your head from steph curry range
Right? im kinda jealous but I cant be a mechagnome pally so It'll never happen
I have ONE complaint about assassination
Garrote isnt obvious that I use it so sometimes i double tap it
but this is user error
I run Elusiveness
It is good, but unlike Cheat Death, it doesn't do anything unless you time it well
Is there any real different between playing assa over sub of blitz?
Outside of how they both play, is sub that much more dominant?
sub is notably a bit harder to play if memory serves. So wh atever you're better at
my lobby mmr was 1280 for my first match
with 4 fucking paladins in it
two hpals 2 rets
yeah sub has more base pressure/defense abilities
with duel and just the burst it has to kill someone in a stun if they trinket
but assa is better on maps like deephall ravine
but in general sub is better on every map compared to assa, only time assa is more value is a map where team fight matters a lot
sub is definitely a harder spec though in general so you might want to factor that in
Fair. If I plan to only play 2s with a disc and BGB. I would assume assa is the friendlier option.
cheat death also does nothing a lot of the time hahahaha
definitely
Sub just seems, so rogue like haha but not sure how it plays in 2s
i got unlucky and won too much and didnt skip
from 1500 to 1900
blessing and a curse
wait wym
if you get to 1500 before 5 lobbies
wtf is up with that
your placement games end
True
ah I didnt even know how that worked
I feel like they tuned down the cr gains in shuffle compared to DF
cuz even if I 5-1 im getting like 30 cr
I remember it being a lot higher
and im still like 1700cr with 2.3-2.5mmr
blizz fucked up reaaaaaal bad with mmr this season
capping the other brackets to promote blitz was a big backfire
Yea but they have to show how “successful” it is
still less popular than shuffle despite how down the mmr is haha
blitz is a bit of a mess
deephall ravine still hsa the bug where you just dont get points for the cart like 25% of the time
I mihgt try sub just to be safe lol
ya
think of it like
2s/3s
placements up till a certain amount of games played OR rating threshhold
whichever u get first
well 2s/3s is a static amount I thought
you can never get to the rating threshhold in the palcements
even if you 100% winrate
sorry didnt mean like
placements as in 2k mmr vs 1500
meant it like
+96 rating gain
per win
well shuffle used to be able to gain tons of mmr even well past 2k
in DF I was gaining 80 points a lobby at like 2300 cr
cuz my mmr was like 3k+
made it super fast
this is painfully slow now
huh wild I wonder why im seeing so different
yeah im getting some decent rating
when mmr is way higher than CR
5-1 +98
4-2 +78
3-3 +69
4-2 +89
Is assa 2 or 4 set? Which tier slots do I want?
legs and shoulders if 2 set
legs shoulder helm chest if 4 set
both are good, small gain if you go 4 set, but less vers
Is the survivability loss noticeable with less verse?
Imo over the course of 100 games you might win 1 extra cause you had 2% more vers and didn’t die, and you might lose 1 extra cause you had 2% too much vers and couldn’t kill
Is assassin not good in arena right now?
Takes forever to get bleeds going and they just burst you down
Seems to be a good spec right now.
I’m trying sub right now it’s pretty fun
i made it on dk
one win and i will break the curse of the hard stuck
wish me luck
go gettem tiger
yeeaaaah
quick question is the rogue the only class with interrupt or did i get into a ss with weird player?
Wonder how those sub buffs look for pvp
It was a pretty small buff to sustain damage
I gotta read up more on it because trickster looks rather bursty
It’s more fun than assassination that’s for sure I’ll keep playing around thanks 🙂
Ok pokeinheimer is making her climb - it's not much but it's honest work
see if I can crack up to 2k, wish me luck
how big is 2p for assa? worth losing stats from 639 piece? dont have second catalyst yet -_-
depends on the pve ilvl
probably not worth if it's anything lower than like 630 something
626 yeah
yeah i'd just run conquest pieces until you can catalyst them
how do you get more catalyst stuff?
most tier sets are very unimpactful in pvp
you can prolly get rank 1 without any tier sets
The sub one is kinda nice but yeah I get ya
sub mainly just runs 2 set
yeah the two set looks potent
low cr blitz just clown fiesta 😦
but you can run 2 set without losing much as far as secondary stats go, so no reason not to run it really
really? seems like it hits fairly hard is that still DFA?
in mines ppl fight far from carts, dont get it haha
it's really going to depend on what the set bonuses are next season, but heavily considering just running no-set and getting more Mastery/Vers
yeah i mean that's always just gonna depend on the bonus
we go through this every season i hate it 
agreed
Just an arena pretty sure
They rarely add new pvp maps
The arena map looks weird too
Like no pillars
sounds not right every map has it, maybe they will change smth before release
Not every map
shadowlands one?
Is that a new arena or return of brawlers club?
Some maps have very obscure LOS
Like the really old graveyard map
This new map looks pretty small and the only LOS looks like the fence I think?
Maybe they’ll throw something else in there who knows
New arena
huttball yeah best bg ever
whats the sap macro to unstealth other rogues? I forget
#showtooltip Sap
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/cast [stance:1/3, harm, nodead] Sap
danke
huh is this one that only really works in arena? I was trying it out and clearly saw a rogue but it wouldnt work
yeah its broken I think
hm i didnt test it recently ;x sorry usually you sap healer anyway
one of my favorite things to do is to unstealth rogues in stormwind so its a fun macro when it works 😛
Requeue. That's what I do if it takes longer than 20 min.
I got a pop eventually
you can try spamming arena1/2/3 sap macros in arenas
Guys, how do you play against fury warrs as assa? It seems impossile to win. I burn all of my defenses and yet, I am dead within 3 seconds.
Lmao brother at this point I’m queue for all game modes whatever pops I’m playing
Never gunna wait more than 15 minute for a match or ima do sum else while I wait
I queued blitz yesterday after work on outlaw rogue they said the queue would be 9 minutes or less…. i feel asleep at the desk queue popped after 15 minutes and woke me up …. * clicks leave queue and goes to sleep * 😂😂😂
That logging out trick that you guys told me about works I do it as soon as i go over the estimated queue time log out and log back in instantly should get a pop within 5 or so minutes usually such a shitty bug
Happy Thanksgiving btw you dirty filthy animals ☀️🦃 for those that do celebrate it.
Dot and vanish. They can't heal much if they can't hit you.
It might have interactive elements - rockets landing mid-map etc that create LOS areas. Way back in the day they had one with platforms that came up and down randomly. Of note is that map was universally hated
every dk jumping on frost rn
i like the playstyle of frost and the animations i just couldnt figure out the roation udk takes 0 iq lol
finally out of the 1500 bracket on the multibox rogue XD
gz its amazing feeling getting to 1600 with a class
Lol its only because it took me so many games but this season was my first time ever playing bgs so i had to learn alot gotta get to 1600 on the outlaw rogue before i queue assa again cant leave her behind wanna get to 2k on either or before i retire back to solo shuffle blitz is fun when everyone comes together as a team even if you lose
ye blitz is sucha time waste when everybody is doing their own thing
well this late in season you will hit people queuing just for the hell of it, not doing anything but doing dmg because it's their 12th alt and random BGs are terrible
just use Dalaran hearthstone and queue old LFR raid, queue continues but never pops
ah nevermind I thought you mean when you go afk
is there a bug with blitz queues?
“Literally so so so bad” someone whispers me after a solo and it’s reportable. Games soft lmao
I get a PM weekly from randoms - I don't get it
How is that an inappropriate communication what are these blizz bots even doing
Can’t even critique someone. Participation trophy world lmao
its 'toxic'
He wasn’t wrong though I fked up a CC the game he sent me that lol
fucking up a cc in a shuffle? no wayyyy
Bro went 1-5 he was just mad at the world lol
like that shit doesn't happen in every game, even in the r1 games
In general I think WoW PVPers overestimate their abilities and their contribution to wins (myself included!)
i have to track some DoTs just because people remove my DoTs with polys and blinds and shit
like certain surv dots that i can't even pandemic
Adding “so bad” to the list of things never to type in game again
have you considered sarcasm as a vice
sometimes I get mad for going 3-3 xd
3-3 means maybe staying put (although usually doesnt); I get that
Is it soft to report that or are you a clown for whispering someone to flame them after a game? I’d report the person idc
Queues went horribly last night for me lmfao. Nothing felt fluid got a bunch of 2-4s and 3-3s
I noticed I get progressively worse the more I queue. I’ll take a few to warm up then get hot then fall. I should probably just stop while I’m ahead
sometimes I feel like my winrate goes up when I hide behind a pillar for half the game
on Fury warrior lmao
and when I make huge plays around my teammates it goes down somehow
trying to peel? round lost
Both lmao
yall are wimps and snitches in cahoot with discord mod type people
(no offence discord mod type people)
(love yall)
Personally I think it’s good for the game to get rid of crybabies who want to dm someone after every lobby
i feel like some stuff is warranted, but it's an impossible line to draw, so they kinda have to just throw it all out
I just complain to my friends about bad players I don’t need to directly harass them and tell them I think they’re bad it accomplishes nothing. They’re not going to become better players cause I hurt their feelings and it doesn’t help me climb either
i don't fuck with anyone just because they're bad
Like people have the right to vent but they think the only way to accomplish that is by making someone feel worse than they do
but i insta report anyone i think is win trading
