radiant glen
#

which do you think is best this season?

potent pivot
#

hmm

#

rogue or druid imo

proper heath
#

for once .

#

people using the ready lever

#

🙂

#

I literally can't play rogue mage this season

#

everytime I blind and everytime My mage polys. It's a complete rng if the cc breaks

#

Unless the healer is 90 yards a way

severe helm
#

You know I cant even count the number of times that accidentally picking up the eye has lost me the game

proper heath
#

Nice lance. breaks it. Splitting ice. breaks it. Oh random meteor . Breaks it. You nice novad. breaks it.

severe helm
#

its like

#

all the time I swear

#

I hate that you cant stealth with it

#

or vanish

gleaming pawn
#

Make no mistake, those were not pvp changes. They are aimed squarely at M+

severe helm
#

it trolls me so hard lol

#

I wish you could cloak off that debuff

#

10 seconds where I cant vanish is tragic

proper heath
#

Yo also. I feel like sub rogue stonks are gonna go down. Isn't shadowy duel getting removed?

#

Thats like .....40% of their kit at low rating.

severe helm
#

ngl they never should have made the cc reduction change

proper heath
#

not gonna play rogue mage. It didn't feel good this season.

severe helm
#

INSTEAD

#

they shoul dhave gotten rid of 3rd dr

stoic spruce
severe helm
#

would have saved the game I swear

proper heath
#

I mean the cc changes will help. But its still so sus

severe helm
#

its not a buff

#

its a debuff

stoic spruce
#

Dang

proper heath
#

Rather just play with some flavor of lock, and just fear

severe helm
#

the cc changes wont do anything

#

tbh

proper heath
#

BTW assa Frost was a joke this season. Mage Poly. Bye Bye dots. 10 times per game. And then every healer atm is a holy paladin. And thats like 3 bubbles.

severe helm
#

precog should just make it so that your next cast you have cc immunity for

jaunty osprey
#

all 5 of my rogues

severe helm
#

not for 4 seconds

jaunty osprey
#

in r1 range

#

13 mins left

severe helm
#

just went 4-2 when I should have 5-1 cuz of picking up the ey

#

very sad

#

And now peopel are trolling the queues

severe helm

ive been blocked lol

#

potent pivot

im fallin asleep waiting for this one

jaunty osprey

healers are

#

trolling the queues

#

so no1 passes them

#

happens every season

severe helm
#

I should have come home early from work

#

#

#

easily

#

rip 😦

severe helm
#

just needed one more 😦

#

saddddd

proper heath
#

Hold up!

#

Veil of Midnight (PvP Talent) has been removed.

#

Sadge! I'm gonna get wrecked by ferals

#

The following PvP talents have been removed:
Enduring Brawler
Take Your Cut

#

SUPER sadge for outlaw.

indigo hill
#

We got 1 new pvp talent? That extra damage reduction on feint.

proper heath
#

yes. but it's insane though.

#

Feint will be like pain suppression during stuns. 😮

#

Rip ? Other sub rogues?

stoic spruce
#

Gotta pre feint tho

#

Gonna take a bit of skill to use effectively

proper heath
#

The Sub rogue has press dance. I have instantly feinted.

#

The sub rogue looks in my direction, I have pre feinted.

#

I'm off DR for any reason. I'm pre feinting like a champ. It will just make pressing feint a good button. a great button.

#

I mean , with elusiveness, it makes feint the strongest defensive pvp talent in the game no?

#

It's the get good.....Get pain supression button.

dapper chasm
#

I didn't read all messages because I'm cool but about people talking about subterfuge bugs earlier: don't use stealth bars. Use normal bars for everything and use stance modifiers in macros

#

This also gets rid of any bar swapping latency

proper heath
#

The only button that you care about swapping in Backstab right?

#

I normally have cheapshot on my bars as sub. and it doesn't bar swap. I just cant use it when I'm not in stealth/dance. And then I have backstab somewhere in africa.

#

with that, there really isn't any other button that needs to swap during dance? right?

normal zealot
#

im getting a 3min solo shuffle Q rn lol

#

as a dps

normal zealot
#

Is there anything worth doing with leftover conquest from this season?

stoic spruce
#

Buy gear and sell for gold

normal zealot
brazen ravine
#

Whats your key for feint ?
I dont really know where to put it since Im a giga noob and I dont use it enough in PVE and I must use it everytime in pvp

feint is vital in PVE xd

Can anyone on US servers, confirm if we can still buy conquest gear in the off season for the non-elite mog?

vocal surge

hidden moth
#

Assa buffs though

dapper chasm
hidden moth
#

So next Tuesday for honor gear rip

#

Can we still do arenas and stuff just unrated or is it just bgs

dapper chasm
#

Literally the only good change since Cata

#

And they remove it

glass hazel
#

as assa i'm happy i dont need to hold trinket for it

#

;x

dapper chasm
#

It was just so flexible - so many different ways to fuck people over

#

I don't know why, but dueling a healer as they are about to rescue their bro hits even harder than dancing said bro

#

Pouring one out for my boy Shadowy Duel

mystic pasture
#

How does Cold Blood benefit kingsbane?

mystic pasture
#

I am assuming it is just benefitting the initial hit, but is that worth it?

I played with this talent,

jaunty osprey
#

It is, even this season you could hit a 1.8m Kingsbane crit (initial hit) and the dot ticks for like 500k plus per tick

It isn’t AWFUL, you can definitely instagib people w it

chrome schooner
#

The issue with those builds really is that to actually do the advertised damage you need people to be low (to trigger the execute range) or to have no defensives, even though you're using your damage (so they just used defensives on ... air).

#

It works in that blitz example because no healers are involved for instance

#

so he "oneshots" a shaman who's already at 50% health and has already spent his defensives

jaunty osprey
#

Not necessarily, you really lose nothing grabbing those extra talents

You still have your typical bleed damage build, you just lose SBS for KB

and then you’d lose 1 combo point for cold blood, but gain lethality which works well with fan of knives

#

It’s the same playstyle, with one extra button

chrome schooner
#

Losing SBS for KB isn't a small loss anymore

jaunty osprey
#

Idk what to tell you, I’ve played KB in a lot of my games this season without cold blood, and it does 4-5% of overall

chrome schooner
#

It's not like you cannot play it

#

But this oneshot thing is a bit of a scam in actual games

mystic pasture
#

I will still give it a go for fun. I don't usually bother with arena anyhow. I had been using supercharger + KB

pastel burrow
#

I'm sure they'll respect the rules

safe pelican
dapper chasm
#

All duels are shadowy by nature

#

But everytime I vanish and so does the opponent rogue, but we catch each other and start shadowstriking

#

Our eyes will meet, and so will our hearts

I think currencies resets next week but idr

3.5hr more if nothing goes wrong kekdog

#

never seen any big patch on time

tender ember
#

how to check correct r1 spots for shuffle?

#

seramate->cut offs-> estimated?

potent pivot
#

@jaunty osprey has been keeping up with that stuff i think

#

ik the api was all fucked up a while back but it kinda looks like it was fixed

tender ember
#

one shows fkin 14 spots other 9

jaunty osprey
#

For EU ya?

#

Let me check for you Baboon

tender ember
#

yea

jaunty osprey
#

6 real spots not including alts

tender ember
#

for real only 6? xd

jaunty osprey
#

Finneas is last spot

#

You’re #8 without alts

#

D:

glass hazel
#

rip ;x

tender ember
#

haha ok so gotta do 1 more

gritty peak
#

Baboon boutta crash out

jaunty osprey
#

Make sure your ingame rank says at least 6

#

To secure it

gritty peak
#

You got this king

jaunty osprey
#

My homie Mik missed out on it by 1 spot yday

#

cause he thought he was safe

glass hazel
#

ah eu still working, i forgot

#

go go go 🙂

tender ember
#

shows 9 now

jaunty osprey
#

That means ppl r climbing

#

Next leaderboard update in API is in 1 hr 40 mins

#

so u can see who is where

tender ember
#

tho surprised even estimated was wrong about places

jaunty osprey
#

But for guaranteed spots, it’s 6

#

The estimated updates once per day

#

so it will show orange aka safe

#

for a rating threshold

#

But as people queue and pass it

#

they will show orange/safe r1

#

better to count spots than look at the rating

tender ember
#

yea, ty a alot

jaunty osprey
#

EU doesnt have many people pushing alts, just Wayne, Shade and Akro

So rank 6 or better

#

is best

tender ember
#

at least i know i gotta send 1m

jaunty osprey
#

NA had me with 5 alts and Val with two so it’s skewed

severe helm
#

you can check how many spots there are by just scrolling to where they start counting from

#

I think for shuffle thats 1k rating?

#

so 0.1% of that with a minimum of 3 spots

#

the cutoff values sourced from blizz api often take a long time to update

tender ember
#

seemed like those cut off sites were wrong all time

#

then

#

cos never rly seen only 6 spots

severe helm
#

wdym

#

theyre usually only wrong when people all move up in rating very quickly like at end of season

tender ember
#

spot numbers are by %

potent pivot
#

well earlier this season it was really fucked

tender ember
#

why it shows 9 as estimated

potent pivot
#

because the site updates based on the last spot's CR

jaunty osprey
#

^

potent pivot
#

prolly easier to code it that way

#

or some shit

jaunty osprey
#

And the “CR” for rank 1 is only updated once per day

#

not even coded that way

#

it’s the way it’s pulled from Blizzard

potent pivot
#

kek

severe helm
#

well they could code it such that they count the number of spots

#

and this wouldnt be an issue

potent pivot
#

wasn't the blizzard api fucked a while back

tender ember
#

ok i see

potent pivot
#

so the new CR for spots never updated

severe helm
#

cuz the number of people over 1k rating wont change that often

potent pivot
#

and showed way too many spots

jaunty osprey
severe helm
#

so they should be able to do that

jaunty osprey
#

Shows assa as 2954

#

Not a single person with that rating

#

essentially just .1% of the number of ppl above 1k rating

#

BUT

#

what mewo didnt account for is

#

the people who dropped below 1k

#

NA has 7 spots despite 6.1k assas

jaunty osprey
#

or smth like that

severe helm
#

they can count the spots themselves lol

#

if I can do it manually by scrolling to page 30 and counting how many players are above 1k and dividing by 1000

#

then they can do it

#

they just went with the easy route

#

of just making an api call for the "cutoff rating"

#

and highlighting all players above that rating

jaunty osprey
#

I guess ya

severe helm
#

I mean its fine its really not a big deal

#

I just wont give them a free pass saying its not possible ;P

jaunty osprey
#

Ya esp on the last day of szn the site owners can manual enter cutoff SPOTS and account for alts

#

u rite

potent pivot
jaunty osprey
#

Also, every month we get a new leaderboard site post on reddit

#

It’s getting ridiculous

severe helm
jaunty osprey
#

Ya, I’m saying even if they’re too lazy to automate it, just manual enter real spots on last day

severe helm
#

ah

potent pivot
severe helm
#

yeah I wouldnt expect them to do that

jaunty osprey
#

no easy money when I use adblocker

potent pivot
#

there's so many data scrapers for wow

severe helm
#

engineers would rather spend 10x time to automate something that takes them 1 min to do manually

severe helm
potent pivot
severe helm
#

I really liked the data people post to reddit about which spec dies first in shuffle/does more damage

#

and correlations on that data

#

like how DHs do the same damage at all ratings lol

#

past like 1800

#

and it has no correlation to winrate

potent pivot
#

i wish we could standardize logging arenas

#

to an actually well coded website like WCL

severe helm
#

Yeah would be cool

#

sadly pvpers just dgaf about that

potent pivot
#

that would be so fuckin sick

steel scarab
#

Wow they're removing Shadowy Duel? I totally did not predict that ability as being impossible to balance when I came back to the game during Shadowlands

severe helm
#

details needs to just auto log

#

frankly

potent pivot
#

someone made an arenalogs website

#

but sadly it is not very indepth whatsoever

#

barely anyone uses it

jaunty osprey
jaunty osprey
#

can look at burst windows and overall dps and cc done etc etc

potent pivot
#

it would also help people learn by looking over the logs of higher ranked players

dapper chasm
potent pivot
#

and just looking at the ability timeline etc

jaunty osprey
#

You can still prob log

#

an arena

#

to WCL

#

wouldnt be surprised

dapper chasm
#

My 6 month contract is finished

#

I aint working for the rest of the year

potent pivot
#

so i have no idea what it would look like

dapper chasm
#

Where is sub in the grand scheme of PvP right now?

#

A+? S?

jaunty osprey
#

in 11.1 or 11.0?

dapper chasm
#

What am I, a nerd?

jaunty osprey
#

11.1 aka new patch today - sub is good in PVE, so there’s a chance it’s good in pvp

#

duel is removed, so a win condition got removed

#

but bomb is still a thing

dapper chasm
#

Sub always scales well

#

Until they remember that

#

I find bomb generally lands kills better than ShD

#

But it was nice having both

severe helm
severe helm
#

duel is longer

#

and its harder to heal into/place dome

#

and you cant run into it

#

like you can with bomb

dapper chasm
#

I do notice some stuff myself - like if there is a rogue on enemy team, it's pretty much an auto-win as sub

severe helm
#

yeup

#

sub counters rogue

dapper chasm
#

8:2 MU

severe helm
#

rogues a really good kill target for sub

dapper chasm
#

Oh, god yes

severe helm
#

assa can do decently into sub

#

but outlaw gets SHIT ON by sub

#

if you lose to outlaw as a sub rogue youre kinda trolling tbh

dapper chasm
#

I like that they think they're "mobile"

#

Babes, I can stick to frost mages

#

Who you?

severe helm
#

I mean outlaw is mobile

dapper chasm
#

"mobile"

#

Sub is mobile

severe helm
#

no

#

outlaws more mobile

#

for sure

dapper chasm
#

Fight me

severe helm
#

its not even close

dapper chasm
#

Your face is close

#

To my kung fu fury

severe helm
#

it was more mobile when it had step though

#

quadruple grapple is kinda shit imo

tender ember
#

ok i guess im pretty safe? xd

severe helm
#

losing step kick was a huge huge nerf imo

tender ember
dapper chasm
#

Pfff, 2

#

Rhymes with poo, bro

tender ember
#

i floped 1 game tho i pre evasion+feint which is 40% wall and died in opener lmao

#

to ele and affli

dapper chasm
#

Well, what can I say?

#

You want me to lie and say that's acceptable?

#

2nd place?

#

That's 1st loser

#

Me? I aimed for 2k, and I GOT 2k

severe helm
#

honestly I save drs against ele

#

for their first ascendence

#

if you dont they just force every defensive in the game

potent pivot
#

feint/eva is 36% dr

#

but yeh

severe helm
#

if you cuck their first ascendence you can pretty much play super aggro for the next 2 minutes

potent pivot
#

at least you got it

#

thats all that matters ThumbsUp

tender ember
#

i got so lucky with lobbies ngl

#

ele affli is kinda of veery free

glass hazel
#

unless you die after opener kekdog

#

cause ele burst to zero in few globals

tender ember
#

was monks fault i think, i prewalled @ like 65% hp

glass hazel
#

ele burst just insane i dunno same with devo

tender ember
#

i should never press clos there

glass hazel
#

sometimes it is just too much

tender ember
#

he wasnt even cced thats why i refused to press

glass hazel
#

anyway gz :0 3.1k huge

tender ember
#

ty ; )

glass hazel

Oh, I didn't realise he was EU

@tender ember Grats, man, great rating

#

Sorry, I thought it was an American 3.1

#

AKA. EU 2.2

potent pivot

he's also an assassman

dapper chasm

We all have weaknesses, get off his back

potent pivot
#

l0l

#

you fuck

Nothing wrong with a little ass here and there

Even I played with my ass back in Cata a little

#

It wasn't for me, but I tried it out, sure

steel scarab

LOL

potent pivot
#

ill look into it

#

Yeah all of the stats you see during an AWC except for the actual details frames are coming from WCL

jaunty osprey

@tender ember gz

#

Good shit

tender ember
#

ty all!

dapper chasm
#

EU still going

#

Just landed a win thanks to Shadowy Duel

#

Bomb into duel really is kinda disgusting though, I wont lie

hidden moth
#

ya rip duel

#

rip big cloak

#

wtb pvp talent "cloak 1 min cd like tbc"

severe helm
#

That'd be way too strong

#

Wtb cheap shot has a cool down so people stop complaining about triple cheap

potent pivot
#

bro

#

im starting to think Meowth doesn't play rogue

severe helm
#

Lolol

#

I just see a problem

#

And propose a solution

#

Triple cheap shot is cancer

#

Delete it

potent pivot
#

yes, i see the problem

severe helm
#

Cheap shotting multiple targets is cancer

#

Delete it

potent pivot
#

his name is Meowth

#

Mewo trying to tell the sub rogues its a good thing they lost Duel

dapper chasm
#

I don't really bother to use 3x cheap shot, doesn't that essentially rely on shadowy blades on opener?

hidden moth
#

im nutting seeing disc priest changes holyyyyyy the talents look so much cleaner. going to crank in pvp

potent pivot
#

we still have conquest and bloody tokens

#

until next week

#

my abilities do not work

#

🔥

#

addons have been cranked and cringled

#

gg

severe helm
#

its good for the game

#

🙂

potent pivot
#

fuck the game, we are rogues

dapper chasm
#

I mean - not to shoot my own nuts off here, but it is what has kept sub from getting real-man burst

#

Right now we got burst, but it's boy-scout burst

halcyon timber
#

They tune us where they want us

hidden moth
#

im just here to annoy healers with 3 1.5 .75 silence into kidney into blind into sap

halcyon timber
#

Keep that wonderful shit up man

hidden moth
#

assume with premtive manuver being a thing cheat death is perma off the menu now

halcyon timber
#

Not interested in the propaganda other classes bring up. Us rogues are tuned around our kit.

#

Dunno not sure if it IS 40% flat while stunned or elusiveness 20% x,40 = new value of 28

#

Still solid but Cheat gets ate up by multiple hits into us anyway. Can mitigate a lot with elusiveness over a match vs random oh sheet cheat death once per 6min

potent pivot
halcyon timber
#

Trust but verify always

potent pivot
#

I think it’s likely 20%*40%
But no idea if it ALSO buffs Elu

halcyon timber
#

Doubtful

#

Likely a separate thing

potent pivot
#

If it only works on aoe that’d be kinda meh still

#

Yeah

#

It should be easy enough to test

#

We just need to get 2 naked rogues with nothing but grey daggers equipped or something

#

And the math will be easy

halcyon timber
#

Yeah for sure

hidden moth
#

has anyone completed this campaign

#

been here an hour and am still in fchapeter 1/6 for undermine

severe helm
#

You trolling?

hidden moth
#

ele shaman enters the chat

severe helm
#

Ele barely has more

#

Theirs is slower

how u gonna say sub has the most

#

then say "ele has barly more"

severe helm
#

Cuz I said like the most

Is hilarious

Play any other specs

@potent pivot have we tested

#

feint talent yet

cobalt yew
#

WHERE is the new PVP GEAR

potent pivot
#

just talked about it earlier

jaunty osprey
#

6044 auto is NO FEINT (ELUSIVENESS TALENTED)

#

4836 IS FEINT (ELUSIVENESS)

#

2418 IS FEINT (ELUSIVENESS AND PREEMPTIVE IN A HOJ)

#

ok

#

so

potent pivot
jaunty osprey
#

look

#

2418 is half of 4836

potent pivot
#

ya

jaunty osprey
#

6045 -> 4835 is 20% DR

#

works correctly

potent pivot
#

that's even more than .48

jaunty osprey
#

4835 -> 2418

#

is like

#

50% extra DR

#

lmao

potent pivot
#

ya

#

elu's 20% + 40% from the talent

#

should be .48 max

jaunty osprey
#

that's

#

60% DR

#

FLAT

#

not multiplicative

#

so the verbage IS correct

#

it is an ADDITIONAL 40%

potent pivot
#

thats disgusting

waxen meteor
#

You talking about new feint?

ye

Still at gym, haven’t logged on yet!

#

But I will miss big cloak

potent pivot
#

apparently it's -60% damage

jaunty osprey
#

let me test it

potent pivot
#

which is just

jaunty osprey
#

without elusiveness

#

rq

waxen meteor
#

-60 during stun only right?

potent pivot
#

ye

waxen meteor
#

Good enough tbh

potent pivot
#

but i mean

#

imagine outlaw's uptime on feint

#

so basically if you want an outlaw dead never stun them OMEGADANCEBUTFAST

jaunty osprey
#

80% aoe DR

#

LMAOOO

stoic spruce
#

Susceptible to rot anyway

waxen meteor
#

I feel this gonna get nerfed anyway

gleaming pawn
#

nah it's a new pvp talent, they knew what they were doing

jaunty osprey
#

@potent pivot works without elusiveness

#

cause that's what we were wondering

#

gives you 40% dr while stunned

worthy crag
#

so whats the word on sub

waxen meteor
#

Did sub get any buff?

#

Seems only nerf isn’t it?

#

Didn’t check all blue posts

gleaming pawn
#

there's some pve buffs, but it's relatively minor

worthy crag
#

last time i kept up with the changes is when they announced shadowy duel removal

#

well, that and gouge and blind having some dmg threshold

stoic spruce
waxen meteor
#

Doesn’t always have logical connection as it shouldgarf_sit

potent pivot
#

+10% to all damage

#

+6% to rupture damage

#

trickster also got some decent buffs

#

i think sub will be really strong for the first couple weeks

#

until everyone gets tier sets

worthy crag
#

thats funny

potent pivot
#

subs tier set is also really good though

worthy crag
#

try 4 days

#

sub good = forum explode

potent pivot
#

nah

#

shadowy duel being gone

waxen meteor
potent pivot
#

the forums can suck a dick

waxen meteor
worthy crag
#

people don't need good reason to hate on sub xd make a post to make cheap shot 3 min cd and it gets 95 upvotes

waxen meteor
#

I can’t play my character

worthy crag
#

if good = how dare they win on sub

waxen meteor
#

Broken spec

#

Garbage

#

Nerd it

worthy crag
#

but im not sure if I can ever return to sub knowing kidney is 30 sec cd

waxen meteor
#

+10% dmg is solid

#

But sub balance has been always like that

#

In the end we will get small dmg

potent pivot
#

they've basically removed all of the real skill expression

worthy crag
#

that is exclusive to sub, pretty much

#

That's kinda been the case ever since the other two specs got access to bomb but with duel removal it's even more so

stoic spruce
#

Can't wait to lurk streams and snipe clips of sub being bad because it took 7 seconds to kill in a smoke bomb instead of the usual 5

worthy crag
#

in this day and age if you need 7 seconds to go through a health bar it kinda does mean it's bad

#

also bomb is technically 4 seconds of dmg lmao

stoic spruce
#

Lord have mercy...

worthy crag
#

I mean it's kinda crazy, the discrepancy between players who have actually experienced playing sub themselves, and those who havent

#

I can just kinda tell you havent

waxen meteor
#

Its just player gap too big in this game

#

And majority isn’t good

worthy crag
#

cuz istg those who havent act like sub can cheapshot 94 times in 30 seconds and deal unhealable damage

#

whereas in reality you let a fking ele shaman cast one healing surge off while the healer is completely cc'ed your go is dead

#

if it's a 10% flat dmg increase it's probably not gonna be bad when the season starts?

#

but the skill expression that's exclusive to sub has been greatly diminished for sure

waxen meteor
#

It will be fairly good

worthy crag
#

Like I was about to say you could prefeint all the stuns on you to extend the game and get more goes but

waxen meteor
#

But as said, sub is never in a stable situation

worthy crag
#

the other two specs can do exactly the same thing..

waxen meteor
#

It’s not like certain spec, can be good whole season

#

If sub is good, it won’t last

worthy crag
#

I think that remains to be seen, the biggest offender was always duel and it's gone now

potent pivot
#

sub was already decent

#

it wasn't best spec super op switch now omg~~~

#

but it was still good

waxen meteor
worthy crag
#

yeah ofc

#

It's just a personal thing, like sub can be good, but it won't really be good in a way that I want it to be

#

utility, cc and setup kind of way, with kidney being so long, invigorating shadowdust being gone (which I think is kind of healthy for the game overall but much less fun)

#

and just doing more dmg period

#

I dont particularly hate duel being removed but I know most others will miss that too

#

Alot of skill expression is now associated with the rogue class as a whole, so I'd be inclined to believe that a good sub player will find more success being outlaw & sin, unless sub just does more damage

severe helm
#

I think sub got so comfy in the place where it alone could solo any spec in the game as long as they didn't have a trinket within a bomb or duel that they think anything shy of that is their spec sucking

worthy crag
#

Lol

severe helm
#

But I think the spec still functions very well when played more like outlaw

#

It's not like it has less control

#

Or even less consistent damage than outlaw

worthy crag
#

When was the last time sub could solo a spec inside a bomb though

#

aside from real cheesey allin like 1 dance echoring reprimand in the start of SL

severe helm
#

I mean it can right now

#

Just not to all specs

worthy crag
#

Now as in, this current preseason?

severe helm
#

No as in s1

worthy crag
#

Who cares about preseason tuning though

#

uhh okay

severe helm
#

The amount of times I pre feint and pre vial a sub go and die anyway is wild

#

Full 100-0

worthy crag
#

Only remote chance of that happening in S1 is if they are playing with 1 vanish

#

which you can tell from the moment they open and your team can coordinate accordingly

potent pivot
#

shit is 1v1v1v1v1v1

worthy crag
#

well there's that DH dude who chaos nova to triple dr stun all 3 of them with 2 seconds remaining on stun dr

potent pivot
worthy crag
#

kinda begs the question of which team they are on

#

you tell em about it and they respond with "dude just do dam look at ur meter"

worthy tinsel
worthy crag
#

the DH is everywhere all at once

severe helm
severe helm
#

They never do

worthy crag
#

oh yeah

severe helm
#

Even at like 3k+

worthy crag
#

been there before too

potent pivot
#

bro i had someone bring up my dmg when i was on ret after a match

severe helm
#

They just throw

#

They're so bad

potent pivot
#

where i had to baby sit heal because the healer was so ass

worthy crag
#

ive actually had one who did take it off, still remember that guy

severe helm
#

As an evoker or warrior you could get r1 without ever tracking a stun dr

#

Genuinely

worthy tinsel
worthy crag
#

the game design kinda encourages that nowadays

#

it's more about just doing more aoe dmg

#

I dont like saying that cuz it always comes with the "back in my days" vibe but it's also true

severe helm
#

Yeah I mean as some specs you have to get pressure to have kills

#

You can't start a cc chain with them at 100% hp

#

And expect to kill

#

That's a sub privilege

vocal surge
#

Or 1v1 only

severe helm
#

I won't blind the healer as outlaw until they're at 70% or lower

#

Cuz they just won't die otherwise

#

Same as like spriest

#

I think it's actually harder to play specs that need to generate pressure before doing cross cc

worthy tinsel
#

I've worked really hard at learning when and how to CC. Like come out of stealth with cheap shot, wait for inevitable minor burst thrown my way right after, then CC some more and wait for opening.

severe helm
#

Than it is to play 321 go comps like dragon frost dk

#

That shit is brain dead

worthy tinsel
potent pivot
#

playing dfk with pres is so amazing sometimes

#

delete people in .5s

severe helm
#

It's so so so so so stupid

#

It's like the most despicable way to play the game to me haha

potent pivot
#

its so fun if you're the one doing it

#

i stg

severe helm
#

Lol I've played with a fdk and the wins just don't feel earned honestly

potent pivot
#

lmaoooo

severe helm
#

I just feel guilty every kill

#

Like I'm cheating

#

Genuinely

#

I put in no effort

#

And they fight for their lives

potent pivot
#

i wonder how broken warrior is right now

#

with all the buffs they got

worthy tinsel
#

Played fury for the first time in remix. Are they still that strong?

potent pivot
#

as compared to what

radiant glen
#

yea fury is playing remix while the rest of us play normal wow

#

uhuh

stoic spruce
worthy crag
#

i know, thanks

stoic spruce
#

Since vanilla btw

worthy tinsel
#

Sorry, long work day.
I meant that it felt really great to play and seemed to be doing fantastic when I looked early last season.

worthy crag
#

tww season 1 is probably fury's best pvp season to date

#

im just saying, sub can feel very different based on the mmr bracket

stoic spruce
#

Loved fury last season

hidden moth
#

Question rn is the mmr in shuffle the same before season end

worthy tinsel
#

Maybe I should've done that for my first pvp season, lol

hidden moth
#

If I que it for honor conq is it going to be same lobbies or ffa glhf ur 200 rating vs 2600 player

worthy crag
#

mmr remains same during offseason

#

I think.

hidden moth
#

Also did I read that right earlier

#

Elu with new pvp talent

stoic spruce
#

I'm pretty sure it's the same

hidden moth
#

60% dr everything 80% dr aoe

stoic spruce
#

That sounds way too good to be tru

hidden moth

is the second part of that tooltip a new one?

rets also have that orc passive talent so

#

gonna be fun

hidden moth
#

Free bop spell bop rescue nullify shroud hover making u immune slows and roots and immune silence kicks with scales

#

Not to mention SPAMABLE sleep

#

Ret 5 second stun heal into sleep walk x3 into rep x3 while war stuns the kill target gg

worthy crag
#

just sleep walk behind the pillar

#

so you can LOS the followup

#

huh that makes me wonder, why does sleep walk make you walk toward the dragon

#

like does the player character find the dragon sexually attractive

#

like you are feeling drowsy and you feel drawn to walk to it

#

that's some Ahri charm shit

stoic spruce
#

They gotta inebriate someone to find them attractive 💀

potent pivot
#

Arms is looking cracked KEKL

stoic spruce
#

S2 tuning with S1 gear will do that

potent pivot
#

eh

#

i think they got overbuffed in general

#

and for some strange reason none of the buffs had a (does not apply to pvp)

#

kinda obvious they'd go from decent to cracked with that much extra damage n shit

worthy crag
#

arms & windwalker always one of them specs allowed to fly under the radar

river pollen
#

that was op

#

defense and offense

pastel burrow
#

it was yeah, extremely versatile

potent pivot
#

at least we got 60% DR in stuns now right guys

gleaming pawn
#

I'll give it until the AWC cast people start talking about it (incorrectly as they always do) and then it will get nerfed because Outlaw is too much of a tank

river pollen
#

what pvp talents yall using

potent pivot
#

swap disarm for thick as thieves if you don't need disarm

river pollen
#

nicee tyy!

pastel burrow
#

Their dev insight is that they want to encourage talent diversity

#

But idk it just looks like we're once again locking in two with 1 semi-vers slot

gleaming pawn
#

Encouraging talent diversity doesn’t mean much when 90% of rogue pvp talents are worse than garbage tier

pastel burrow
#

Legit

potent pivot
#

i mean the fact that they left Control is King in the game

#

shows a lot

pastel burrow
#

Honestly I'm surprised they didn't remove DFA as another fuck you

#

"we saw some of you guys use this to kill our balance team in skirmishes, that really pissed us off, so we're removing it"

potent pivot
#

honestly maneuv might be worth using now that our other options are so ass

#

vs like mage or some shit

gleaming pawn
#

Meanwhile Sin is still locked into Smoke and Hemotoxin so with the Feint talent there’s nothing else to pick

pastel burrow
#

God I miss old maneuv so much

vocal surge
#

Same

potent pivot
#

ye removing old maneuv makes zero sense

#

just to add so much mobility to other classes

#

and slows

#

and roots

#

and knocks

#

kinda annoying

pastel burrow
#

So much as looking in the direction of a frost mage and my legs are instantly ice cubed

vocal surge
#

I sure love listening to rerolling FOTM frost mages saying how much they deserve duelist for playing a class that can constantly root and slow forever

stoic spruce

On GOD brother

oh wait forgot about feint

winter seal
#

A resto Druid in shuffle told me to not go for restealths on assa

#

Is that uhh the play ?

pastel burrow
#

I don't think you want to actively go for restealths 24/7

#

But getting ic and silence without using vanish is pretty nice

winter seal
#

I went for 3 in a decently long round. After both vanishes and meld

pastel burrow
#

Case by case scenario, if the opportunity presents itself definitely take it

pastel burrow
winter seal
#

Like I was playing against double lock. It seemed like if I wasn’t dotted up it was a good chance for a new opener

#

Idk. The dude called me a slur after everyone in the lobby went 3-3 and it’s bugging me still

pastel burrow
#

Idk I don't think you misplayed here, that guy is probably just angry

#

Healing solo shuffle is basically a prison sentence, they all go insane and toxic eventually

winter seal
#

First shuffle I did that day had a priest being toxic before even first round lol

grave basin
#

Anything to do this week?

radiant glen
#

but i wouldnt really overthink it if a random rdruid says something

#

just if the round was hard and what ur trying isnt working, could be the play to try something else

#

we always keep it internal tho

winter seal
#

I ended up winning the round so idk

azure rapids
#

Are tier sets only deactivated when S2 starts?

#

also Honor gear and Conquest aswell right?

potent pivot
hybrid palm
#

Thiefs bargain + new feint = perma fainted ?

potent pivot
#

All of your gear will be fine

#

But you’ll have to farm new honor gear before you can queue rated

clever sail
#

is trickster worth playing for outlaw now that it's been buffed? with the changes to pvp talents, it looks like you can take "so tricky" along with "thick as thieves" and permanently give another dps in your group the 15% damage buff

clever sail
#

that's unfortunate. i read the tooltip and got excited, haha

#

just tested it with a friend though, and you're correct, it doesn't give the damage buff for the entire duration

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

It’s still slightly less ST, but it’s more cleave

marble oasis
#

So how cooked is the new feint, did they end up nerfing it since it was annouced?

clever sail
#

nice! i really liked having coup de grace as a gap closer in some situations, it just felt sort of generally unreliable. i'm still trying to figure out what to slot into the third pvp talent against caster teams

potent pivot
#

They removed that gap closing part

clever sail
#

oh.

potent pivot
#

Unfortunately

#

Too many pve players cried

marble oasis
#

wasn't that due to it's animation locking being the issue or something?

potent pivot
#

Nah

#

The longer GCD locking was fixed a while back

marble oasis
#

i guess the same reason that killingspree is bad in pve then :S

potent pivot
#

The charge was fixed with 11.1 just now

marble oasis
#

well "fixed"

marble oasis
#

based

potent pivot
#

I swear pve players over exaggerate and cry over the smallest things that are simply get gud situations

potent pivot
#

With Elu you get 60% DR in stuns

#

For some reason it’s working as an additive and not multiplicative

winter seal
potent pivot
#

Yep

marble oasis
potent pivot
#

i think its nice that they added something that actually rewards having skill

normal zealot
#

Henlo, is there a way to move the skill description somewhere else?

#

Its way to far on the right and i break my neck everytime i want to read what my skills do

yeah

go to edit mode and move it lol

ohh... lol

wonderful, didnt know blizzard ui thingy allows us to do that as well

is it just me or is color of new elite set more fitting as lfr?

i thought and said the same thing KEKL

idk mythic seems to be a better elite set

i would have even been happy with the Normal set being elite

its my favorite recolor

What color is the new elite set?

normal zealot

The best set coloring is normal

Normal raid set

the dk elite looks like shadowlands LFR purple+gold

so sadge

yeah i saw you posted your checkpvp CRs

thats dope lol

i got like 9? i think

verbal field
# verbal field here

Idk this color doesnt give the ‘woa how special! elite set damn!’ vibe you feel me ?

Maybe this will be a pve season for me again, more hyped to get mythic set

the only mythic set i really want is hunter

that shit is sick

dapper chasm
#

As sub do I go trickster now?

#

Last I checked they were even and now Trickster got buffs, so....?

potent pivot
#

nah most people have been Deathstalker

#

trickster was already decent, so its def fine to play now with the buffs

#

the extra piss aoe you do that you can't control breaks cc tho

dapper chasm
#

I was thinking about that

#

People really don't stack anymore

#

I notice most healers just stay as far back as possible as much as possible

#

What PvP talents are kids using now?

#

I'm guessing Dismantle/Bomb for 2

#

Yooo, none of my keybinds work

potent pivot
#

are you using Bartender?

dapper chasm
#

dw, I fixed it

#

And then saw there was an update anyway -_-

dapper chasm
#

Because I really, really love cheat death

#

It doesn't do shit nowadays because everyone has 2 million DoTs

But I owe that boy

#

This update also doubled my ping and I want my money back

Anyone else think this season is gonna be even worse for healers?

dapper chasm
#

Wait, I'm confused

#

I can still queue solo shuffle

stoic spruce
stoic spruce
potent pivot
dapper chasm
#

Wait, so I can feint while CCd?

potent pivot
#

elusiveness and new pvp talent = 60% DR in stuns if you prefeint

#

no

#

you gotta pre

dapper chasm
#

DR?

#

Oh, dmg reduction

potent pivot
#

dmg reduc ye

dapper chasm
#

So if a rogue feints, I just don't stun them?

stoic spruce
#

Correct

#

This may turn assa from great KT to terrible KT

dapper chasm
#

So we can nearly do 3 back to back feints

stoic spruce
#

Wdym

dapper chasm
#

By the time you do the second, the third is only 3 secs away

stoic spruce
#

Oh, yeah

#

Outlaw has infinite feint💅

dapper chasm
#

Well, rogues were never a good kill target

#

Except to other rogues

stoic spruce
#

Nah assa was great

#

There's like

#

4 good assa in the bracket

dapper chasm
#

I gotta be honest, the feint pvp talent seems ass to me

#

And I called every other patch perfectly

stoic spruce
#

We shall see in the coming months

dapper chasm
#

No need, trust Zanadamus

stoic spruce
#

Oh okay

#

That was easy

dapper chasm
#

I think distracting mirage is slept on for sure

#

Ranged slow for healers trying to chase their suicidal DPS

#

I should probably state WHY I think it's ass

#

Think of it this way, we don't get trained, we get swapped on - when you swap a kill target do you first wave your dick about and tickle them a bit?

#

No, you stun on the swap

#

You go in hard - the exception is situations where you are on a target, pop your DPS CDs and then they use a defensive so you swap to not "waste" the CDs

#

But as a rogue you can preempt that in much better ways than the feint talent imo

#

As their stun is probably on CD too

stoic spruce
#

I think different specs will have varying uses for it.

#

Like outlaw and the mystery of the 0 vanish charges

dapper chasm
#

I can see its value in 1v1s in BGs

stoic spruce
#

I feel it's a more shuffle oriented pvp talented tbh

dapper chasm
#

Distract doesn't actually need stealth now iirc

#

Thick as Thieves is also very, very nice

#

DPS partners in shuffle are always party2 now, right?

Is world PvP bugged or something?

#

I'm in a 90% horde server and I never ever see horde

#

Just groups of 5+ ally

marble oasis
#

I think they've changed the server groupings or something. i was finding ravencrest people on my warmode and i've never seen anyone except the other RP realms.

#

could also be people just flicking on warmode for the bonus quest rewards

dapper chasm
#

It kinda kills world PvP though

#

I mean, I fancy my chances vs anyone, but I wont run into a group

marble oasis
#

probably just unlucky, i know on my server ally just turned it on and ignored any pvp as horde was always outnumbered everywhere but now it feels even.

#

could also just be timing related.

dapper chasm
#

I noticed it at launch as I always have warmode perma on

#

And I'm on Stormscale EU

#

We got like 2 ally here, and they're married

Just did a 2v1, like a Chad
