Just play assa and you won’t miss duel

dapper chasm
#

Ok, I wont lie

#

The new zone looks kinda gorgeous

#

Oh, you can't fly - fuck this place

potent pivot
#

you have to get your new tokyo drift car

dapper chasm
#

Will this set be relevant?

#

Also, does it matter, PvPly speaking, which cartel I go for?

potent pivot
#

it's just cosmetics n shit

potent pivot
#

we'll get the set from catalyzing our gear

dapper chasm
#

Thanks, my man

#

This being an RNG set suits me just fine, I gots that devil's luck

potent pivot
#

well for sub its less RNG

#

because you don't drop it during Dance

dapper chasm
#

4 set in PvP?

#

What next? We throw on a dragon trinket and start raiding with the nerds?

#

You never need hemotoxin btw

potent pivot

#

@potent pivot if you could change one fundamental thing about outlaw, what would it be?

potent pivot
#

that's kind of a long list

stoic spruce
#

I said one

#

Not even your most wanted change

#

Just one fundamental change

potent pivot
#

ITS HARD TO CHOOSE OKAY

stoic spruce
#

RAHHHHH JUST CHOOSE ONE

#

Okay I'll go first

#

It's actually crazy to say too

dapper chasm
#
  • Change name back to combat and stop being edgyboys
stoic spruce
#

Nope crazier

dapper chasm
#
  • Make spec a tank
stoic spruce
#

I'd remove restless blades from ghostly strike and turn it into a player buff

#

SoD is down the hall to the left

#

It's very fun though

potent pivot
#

the mastery is probably the biggest glaring issue

#

especially for pvp with crit being baseline nerfed

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I guess my change would need multiple changea in order to work well

#

100% with you tho

#

I've made my opinion vocal on it plenty of times

potent pivot
#

Ooh there's more than 2 colors of rockets

#

there's 4 or 5

#

dapper chasm
#

Do you prefer riding the big black rocket, NoTrickz?

grave basin
#

Which cartel is that from

potent pivot
#

check the most recent wowhead post

#

its got all new mounts from 11.1 and sources

#

i need to check if DH bug fixes are finally in

just in case, do let them cleave their blade dance

So it's not just me that has their bully-reflex triggered by NoTrickz?

#

Maybe it's his pheromones

jolly sierra
#

i have done that since 2023 min

jolly sierra
#

so we have our friendly arguings sometimes lol

dapper chasm
#

But @jolly sierra , aren't you a filthy filthy furry?

#

Shouldn't you guys join forces AGAINST the bullies?

jolly sierra

those includes hating night elves

So you tell me you shower EVERY day?

right now the only thing to look at is how the specs play

#

New disc is interesting

#

im excited to mess with that more

dapper chasm
#

@jolly sierra WAIT! I got it!

#

How we can bond despite your filthy, filthy furry ways

#

We can bond by hating those My Little Pony guys together!

jolly sierra
#

perhaps

hidden moth

Maybe with undermine being liberated so will this discord

I just refuse to live in a world without hatred

Look, I never called for violence

Just emotional violence

Possibly some name calling

Question for the PvP Outlaw Rogues... When are you spending combo points? 4 or 5? I'm not sure which is optimal

potent pivot
marble oasis
#

so havoc seems to be insanely busted right now

stiff cedar
#

How is assa looking right now? Someone in chat told cdew their mage got hit for a 5m envenom, which is a very "source: trust me bro" number but I have seen some pretty big ones

potent pivot
stiff cedar
#

Makes sense, probably just ppl having fun with darkest night still

potent pivot
#

Even with DFA and perfectly stars aligned buffs it doesn’t hit that hard

stiff cedar
#

Oh yeah like I said I didn't believe the 5m's but if someone is claiming that, it probably is at least doing decent lol

#

I'm trying to decide if I want to main rog next season

potent pivot
#

Assa is looking like it should be strong again though

stiff cedar
#

I have a good friend who's a good lock to push with for once and I'm trying to decide if I want to just play dh and maybe some feral or to go assa aff which is probably the best comp in there

potent pivot
#

Just depends on the nerfs for other classes that will be coming

stiff cedar
#

I just am a low time gamer (employed+college) and I feel like I never have the time to get good at rogue, I understand it well I just can't put reps in much. My main last ssn I pushed 2.4 shuffs on I had 150 rounds played LOL

yeah like i said ik it isn't real 5m envenom lmao

#

but i have seen 2m+s or close to

halcyon timber
#

Yep dude is full of shit

#

We arent in s2 target zone gear and everything is tuned around that. Pre season / pre patch to expansions = people stir the fricken pot for no reason

#

Like the hunter spamming about sudden demise wining but thinks double tap aimed shot was cool

gleaming sentinel
#

Are there any notable interactions with death from above and trickster?

halcyon timber
#

Nope as CDG and DFA are separate

#

Did work on alpha briefly but was def separated

wide plume
#

Is shadow duel gone? 😦

severe helm
#

tbh sub is lookin verry strong rn

#

it fucking craaaanks with nimble fury

by stealth I mean with subterfuge buff/in crackshot window

# potent pivot Mhm

That is such a tragedy. I don't think I can get any solo shuffle kills without overcompensating for my skill issue

gleaming sentinel

#

Yeup its just outlaw with better kill pressure in goes

gleaming sentinel

Guess I should learn sub…

so is assa dog water

its off week

balancing to come

it might take 2 weeks

"after looking at the class we have noticed dev evoker pressing other buttons outside of disentegrate. we have removed every damage ability dev has and they now only press disentegrate. we have also increased its damage by 500% and u always have essence burst"

severe helm
#

have yall seen how much aug cranks in pvp?

potent pivot
#

does it? i never see them

#

didn't they just get nerfed as well

severe helm
#

their benefits for others got nerfed severely

#

but I was seeing them in shuffle last night

#

doing the MOST insane dps

#

like 700k+ topping damage in the lobby by a huge margin haha

potent pivot
#

o.O

#

did their dmg get buffed?

severe helm
#

idk tbh

potent pivot
#

not seeing it

severe helm
#

Time will tell

potent pivot
#

like maybe into melee cleaves

severe helm
#

nahj has been playing trickster sub last season as well and doing big overall dam with it

#

and thats only going up

potent pivot
#

but then u just break ur own cc

severe helm
#

yeah ofc if you cant cleave

#

well youre not cleaving the healer

#

usually*

severe helm
#

its not like outlaw isnt running bladeflurry

#

and it gets by just fine without breaking too much cc

#

just have to remember to cancel it in certain situations

potent pivot
#

ye good ones do

gleaming sentinel
potent pivot
#

nahj seems to think assa/law will be better

severe helm
#

he always says that

#

hes the biggest sub doomer ever

potent pivot
#

its almost always true tho

severe helm
#

he was complaining sub was "easy to shut down" back in SL

#

when RMP was like the best comp in the game for almost the entire xpac

#

I think assa is prob gona be the best though since it didnt get any nerfs other than losing the cloak talent

#

and it was already definitely on par with outlaw if not better at non-r1 level play

quaint cedar
#

Yeah nahj is always going to complain

#

Mewo have you played yet? How does outlaw feel without enduring brawler? Not necessarily worried about damage numbers, moreso rotationally. Does it feel bad not having as high of an opportunity proc chance?

gleaming sentinel
#

Nahj says a 10% aura buff is nothing.

potent pivot
#

+200k to your largest eviscerate with all stars aligning isn’t huge

gleaming sentinel
#

How many evis does sub usually get off in a dance?

potent pivot
#

Depends on how much cc you’re doing in the dance

#

Or if shadowcraft procs etc

halcyon timber
#

The pre season / pre expansion propaganda has to stop. We aren't in full gear and there is zero reason to doom about anything. Tuning will happen again anyway and there are A LOT of new talents for just about everyone and new interactions for people to get used to.

ight which do u think looks better any of the rogue war within s1 set tmog or new s2 ones

#

could be pvp or pve sets

stoic spruce

S2 hands down

#

I don't like the rogue style sets.

twilit swan

As someone getting to pvp for the first time

#

what are like the main damage cds I should focus on to just get instilled

so im just trying to understand the bread and butter and then ill focus on other things

theres just so many offensive cds that i dont get what gets pressed first lol

mystic pasture
twilit swan
#

idm the spec, sub just seemed cool

#

but i mean all the others do too

mystic pasture
#

I might recommend starting with assassination then

twilit swan
#

much easier to get around ?

mystic pasture
twilit swan
#

I'll look into it, any guides or is the bread and butter combo pretty simple

mystic pasture
#

Keep bleeds up then build and spend combo points

#

Let me see about a guide that would suit you

stoic spruce

Also more good comps

twilit swan

thanks lmk

this is not bad actually. he breaks down the damage and burst quite well and uses a decent simple talent build.

One thing I would change though is going fatebound instead of deathstaller hero tree. It's one less thing to think about and fatebound still pumps damage.

THIS GUIDE IS FULLY UP TO DATE FOR THE LATEST PATCH 11.0.7!

This is the best Assassination Rogue build to play right now in arena. With huge spread pressure and massive burst, you can't go wrong with this build!

One suggestion when starting out is to macro thistle tea to shiv. One less thing to worry about

wait sorry is there anything that counts right now since we're between seasons? is all pvp just for fun rn?

outer sky
#

sometimes you shiv to slow

#

and dont want to burn a tea charge

mystic pasture
#

Just trying g to simply things at first is all

#

They are new to rogue and PVP

outer sky
#

@potent pivot Name change fail btw. Also have we discovered how the new PvP talent works? Is it Additional or multiplicative? like does 40% become 80% or 56%?

hybrid sapphire
potent pivot
#

Same as every season

hybrid sapphire
#

this is the first time im between seasons -- whats the diff between rated queue and non-rated? just MMR-matching? 0 rating either way, yeah?

potent pivot
#

You mean between Skirms and rated?

#

One gives conquest and one gives honor

#

Skirms are a meme

hybrid sapphire
#

ah yeah -- so the only diff rn is currency rewards then(?)

potent pivot
#

Rated is going to be harder to win games in

#

Rating doesn’t move but MMR does atm iirc

outer sky
#

And I feel like to get the most value out of it we should take Nimble Fingers. what do we drop for that? Acrobatic strikes? Dropping Rushed Setup negates the energy savings

outer sky
jaunty osprey
#

Drop rushed setups

#

you’re not energy starved on openers anyway

#

and on vanishes you get multiple garrotes out right after cheapshots which helps with energy regen

What does greyed out rating mean

dapper chasm
#

Why, what did you get?

#

I think he means greyed out rating cause rating is locked atm cause we are in off season

Which means you cant get rating atm

Outlaw feels like it's not going to compete with sin for damage but this feint talent makes it stupid tank

yeah sorry dummies

potent pivot

target dummy damage is a lot diff than damage on players

glass hazel
#

hopefully they will stop oneshot people ;x but hard to believe haha

potent pivot
#

new map is kinda weird

#

dunno how i feel about it

#

fire mage's top damage is their barrier omegalul

brave plume
severe helm
#

dont worry a weak aura will come out

#

that screams at you to just stop attacking when they press it

#

gona be a very annoying thing to deal with though

#

5 seconds of "dont touch" every 30 seconds

potent pivot
#

already in the making as we speak

severe helm
#

if a good mage uses it right its gona be super fucking annoying to deal with

potent pivot
#

100% reflect is going to get nerfed

#

there's no shot

severe helm
#

yeaaaah maybe

#

lol

#

I mean

#

heres the thing

#

if its your go

#

what does their damage matter

#

its just pad imo

#

its like ring of fire being top mage dam

potent pivot
#

no one cares about it from the fire mages dmg perspective

#

its just too toxic for the people hitting you for it to be 100%

severe helm
#

Its non-threatening damage haha

#

but yeah it might get nerfed

#

but tbh I dont personally think it needs to

#

its irrelevant damage imo

potent pivot
#

It isn’t

#

If some idiot bursts into it

#

A 100% reflect is just too much

#

Regardless of the added overall damage, or the uptime

I keep hearing stuff like "can kill you in a stun" about sub rogues, maybe I'm missing something here

dark kernel
dapper chasm
#

Oh, I do

#

And yes, I know how to do the big dimgess

#

But the part that confuses me is how people think that we just pop a macro and get that damage on the fly and instantly whenever we want

dark kernel
#

The average player and even good player doesn't know how rogues work

dapper chasm
#

Here I am building 30 stacks of this and 3 stacks of that

#

Then popping this while watching that

dark kernel
#

My guild is full of Mglads and multi classes and all of the players coincidentally avoid playing rogue

dapper chasm
#

Top levels of performance always leans towards the easiest way to be effective

#

I play fighting games (fuck my life) and a S+ tier with insane mechanics will never perform as well as a S tier with hurpadurpa inputs

Isn’t there still time walking every week?

verbal field
dark kernel
#

Probably buy a boost

#

I think people still use the dragonflight zone for 1 to 70 leveling

gleaming pawn
#

Ah well dungeons are still the faster way to level

#

If you’re a dps go quest while you wait for queues

potent pivot
#

I’ve got a few that are 74-75 already

Just need to finish while there isn’t shit to do this week ig

gleaming pawn

Healers or tank and you just spam dungeons. Takes 6ish to go from 79 to 80

dapper chasm
#

btw - I have a very specific addon issue that maybe someone can chime in on: Are people able to move the "UIWidgetTopCenterContainerFrame" frame? It's what shows battleground scores in the top-middle of the screen

#

Both Leatrix pro and MoveAny purport to be able to move it, but only control scale and alpha, if I move it it snaps back

#

I'm hoping it's not my WTF folder being silly because of the 2000 addons I've put through it over time

gleaming pawn
#

I’m not sure about moving, but it can be hidden pretty sure. With Capping installed I can’t remember the last time I saw that score frame vs just the capping bar

dapper chasm
#

Thinking of doing that, but I find it useful, shows flags held etc

What the average rogue complainer thinks our macro is

I honestly get weirded out before I one shot someone now - like, my brother in Christ, can you not see me pop blades and start building flag stacks?

What do you think I'm doing here? Baking a cake?

Damnit NoTrickz, I refuse to play Outlaw again

severe helm
dark kernel
# potent pivot

Outlaw probably won't be super damage strong next patch, it may be, but it's survival is fucking DUMB

severe helm
#

aint no outlaw genuinely doing 870k dps without pad on pets

dark kernel
#

Float like a butterfly with new feint

#

Is busted

severe helm
#

it literally got nerfed from last season

#

so why would it do double the dps

#

the math aint addin up

potent pivot
severe helm
#

wolfies

#

either that or they just natty 5 rolled on the start

#

I mean outlaw explicitly got nerfed

#

and it wasnt doing 870k last season

#

outside of like very short games where you just roll them

potent pivot
#

wdym nerfed

#

the pvp talents?

severe helm
#

it lost two throughput pvp talents

#

yes

dark kernel
#

Outlaw only lost damage

potent pivot
#

i think the buffs more than counteract that

severe helm
#

what buffs...

dark kernel
#

What buff did outlaw get

potent pivot
#

???

severe helm
#

sleight of hand?

#

brother

potent pivot
#

+6% damage?

#

where have you been

dark kernel
#

Nope

potent pivot
#

did that one specify not in pvp or something

severe helm
#

I honestly forgot they got 6% but sub also got 10%

dark kernel
severe helm
#

but also I think a single sample size of pre season bicmex and his buddy shitting on some randos isnt evidence

#

frankly

dark kernel
#

Outlaw got no damage modifications

severe helm
#

like I could post this from last season but it doesnt mean outlaw does this much damage normally...

severe helm
potent pivot
severe helm
potent pivot
#

ye

#

like wtf

#

gas lighters

severe helm
#

but sub got this

dark kernel
#

When was that because I'm looking at 11.1 patch notes and that's not even in it

potent pivot
#

that was on PTR

severe helm
#

im looking at them

severe helm
#

this is the official patch notes

dark kernel
#

I saw it now. Second area of notes

potent pivot
#

and also the trickster buffs

#

that outlaw was playing trickster

dark kernel
#

I...would be surprised if we play that

severe helm
#

trickster does pump I played it a lot last season

#

but trickster didnt get buffed other than its aoe damage

#

I thought

dark kernel
#

I liked trickster sub

#

You are correct

potent pivot
dark kernel
#

And by 5%

severe helm
#

eh

#

quadruple grapple is big

#

and trickster LOST the charge on coup

#

which is actually tragic

potent pivot
#

sure

#

but the dmg difference is going to be noticeable

severe helm
#

wdym

#

the 6%?

potent pivot
#

no

severe helm
#

cuz thats all it got lol

potent pivot
#

...

dark kernel
#

Unseen blade damage increased 15%

potent pivot
dark kernel
#

But I still question if it will be worth

potent pivot
#

that is not all it got mewo

severe helm
#

ooooh they did baseline buffs but thats for both sub and outlaw

potent pivot
#

yes

#

that crit dmg buff

#

is what is most notable

#

imo

severe helm
#

ah yeah we talked about that

potent pivot
#

indeed

dark kernel
#

Id have to see numbers from in arena matches first

#

To see how pvp xrit modifier and vers affects it

severe helm
#

trickster is fun I hope it becomes the meta build

potent pivot
#

i just posted

severe helm
#

its also a loooot harder to play though

potent pivot
#

bicmex is doing shuffle war games

#

with an outlaw

#

right now

dark kernel
#

Those numbers are clearly bullshit

severe helm
#

I mean

#

theyre real

potent pivot
#

???????

severe helm
#

but not necessarily common

#

they might be exceptions

#

like my own screenshot

#

of me doing 780k last season

#

as fatebound

like

dark kernel
#

Details fucks with damage numbers when you are in a shuffle and leave it.

#

In rated pvp

severe helm
#

it lowers them

gleaming pawn
# potent pivot ???????

I know you’re losing your mind right now, but this whole conversation from the outside is hilarious

severe helm
#

never increases them

potent pivot
#

that was mid game

severe helm
#

I just dont think a single screenshot from a shuffle is enough to say "outlaw is clearly going to destroy sub"

potent pivot
#

like obviously tuning is still going to happen, these numbers barely matter right now

severe helm
#

thats just silly

potent pivot

but the gas lighting is hilarious ngl

I just functionally do not believe outlaw consistent damage is going to remain that high in proportion to people with in season gear which is why I don't believe it

severe helm
#

just not the right way to use data haha

dark kernel
#

Like it doesn't matter if he did it in current gear

#

It's irrelevant

severe helm
#

I dont even think thats the point

#

Has Nahj been theorycrafting a Trickster Sub build yet? If I dabble with Sub it will be playing Trickster and I don’t want to do the leg work to figure out the best talents on my own

severe helm
#

he already played it last season

#

into any comp where you cleave

potent pivot
#

as far as regular talent builds go

#

you either play flag or don't, that's the only real choice

severe helm
#

I thought he just never plays flag

#

as both trickstrer and deathstalker

#

he said flag is "cringe" lol

gleaming pawn
#

ahh, cool thank you

potent pivot
#

nahj tends to not play flag ye

#

but flag is still very good

#

especially in low/mid range games

#

if you're at the top end flag can be too easily predictable

dapper chasm
#

what's the alternative?

potent pivot
#

deeper daggers

dapper chasm
#

Literally worse just so it's easier?

potent pivot
#

it isn't about difficulty

dapper chasm
#

Sounds it to me

potent pivot
#

just predictability

dapper chasm
#

That's up to us, isn't it?

#

If we get a defensive by popping flag, which has no downside

potent pivot
#

eh

dapper chasm
#

And keep our actual burst for later, like we should

#

If it's being predicted, use it as bait

@severe helm

is there a consolidated post of all 11.1 changes? i can never find it

severe helm

this is the full post

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

anyone think an updated gearing guide would be helpful for s2?

#

lots of people were confused on how to get geared at the start of the expac

#

open to suggestions for any other resource ideas as well

dark kernel
gleaming pawn
#

The most important bit to pin to cut down on questions is just what set pieces the specs want

dark kernel
#

Flag just makes burst rotation clunky and slightly delayed.

gleaming pawn
#

I don’t think anything else would really be required, but people always surprise me with the questions they ask

potent pivot
#

just kinda pin pointing what pieces to buy first, enchants etc

dapper chasm
potent pivot
#

the only issue with the tier set pieces is that no one knows what we're going to use until like 4 weeks into the season, when they actually get tested

dapper chasm
#

Secret Technique being a tinge higher?

#

I can understand if it was Flag vs something actually good

dark kernel
#

I'd be kind of surprised if all specs don't use 4pc this season. Maybe not sub

#

Stats are all around pretty decent

potent pivot
#

wdym 8% on rupture

dark kernel
#

He's on the flag vs deeper daggers stuff

potent pivot
#

sub does a decent amount of shadow dmg

dapper chasm
#

I don't run dark brew

dark kernel
#

You should have

potent pivot
#

dark brew/deeper daggers also increase your Blades evis dmg

dapper chasm
#

Shadowcraft's back to back evis/st isn't a joke either

dark kernel
#

You have that too.

dapper chasm
#

Plus it allows me to play very nicely with 100 energy

#

You mean drop danse?

dark kernel
#

Nope. You have that too

#

Lmao

#

What build are you running?

dapper chasm
#

Just my own

potent pivot
#

you don't have to take triple symbols

#

you can just take 1 point

dapper chasm
#

Sure, but I like supercharger

#

Yeah Notrickz said it

dapper chasm
#

The way I see it, I will blade BEFORE flag - to make sure I get 30 stacks

dark kernel
#

Your issue is the sumbols

dapper chasm
#

So if the def cd on blades, I will get to keep flag

dark kernel
#

I see what you're saying and it's a right idea, the issue is you're going to be stopped

#

What you are doing is essentially planning to be on DR from CC to line up unstoppable burst

#

It's just not....likely.

#

In reality as soon as people see blades you're going to be stunned, disarmed, novad, feared, etc. and you'll maybe hit a target with 3 seconds of blades active

dapper chasm
#

All that stuff will happen anyway

potent pivot
#

can you guys see all the Threads of the channel?

severe helm
#

I dont see any threads for #pvp

I dont

potent pivot

click the threads at the top

severe helm

gotcha

potent pivot

ok, thanks

severe helm

I think I must hav eto contribute to them for htem to pop up on the side here

potent pivot

didn't know if "Closed" threads were still visible to all users or not

potent pivot
dark kernel
#

Yeah it's there just I'm on mobile

potent pivot
#

just wanted to make sure the bug threads were visible to everyone because i have them linked in the pins

#

i just need to update them

dark kernel
#

I don't know if you have them noted but there are new feint bugs

dapper chasm
#

No subterfuge and no double vanish? what is this build?

dark kernel
#

Nahj is keeping count I've monitored I can pull what spells are affected

dark kernel
#

Some people play single vanish tea for big hits

dapper chasm
#

Going back to 100 energy really opened my eyes to how it's totally enough

dark kernel
#

From Nahj testing last night

potent pivot
dapper chasm
#

NO SHIV?

#

Oh, come on now

#

It's the ultimate fuck you to the off target as you run past

#

In what world is a slight boost to sprint speed better than shiv?

#

Shiv can win you a game, sprint wont

gleaming pawn
#

Focus on Blitz maybe? Shiv is largely garbage in Blitz

dapper chasm
#

Fuck me, I missed tricks of the trade - so many DPS out there that should not be getting a flat 15% damage boost

dapper chasm
#

BGs are for relaxing

gleaming pawn
#

You should definitely do more Blitz this season, so you can lose your mind at what your teammates end up doing to throw a game

dapper chasm
#

Oh, I had my fun with rated BGs back in cata

#

We had nearly 100% win rate

#

But getting all those fucks together was a nightmare

#

And the queue times... jesus

gleaming pawn
#

Yeah… RBGs in Cata are some of my
best and worst pvp memories

dapper chasm
#

My strats were from art of war

#

Straight up

#

I had a rule of "minimum possible force"

#

If one guy is dying but keeping 4 of them occupied, go for it, son

#

It's a purely numbers game

dark kernel
#

BgBlitz as rogue is actually worse for my blood pressure than shuffle

#

When the game is like half your responsibility.

dapper chasm
#

Surprised to hear that, as rogues we have one of the largest influences on team matches

dapper chasm
#

Get good!

dark kernel
#

Mmhmm

#

I'll be as good as Jennacide

gleaming pawn
#

Blitz maps don’t work in our favor as much. For instance AB nodes lock once capped for a period of time, making ninja capping harder

dapper chasm
#

Damn

#

That's weird

gleaming pawn
#

CTF maps are still a skilled rogue playground

#

But they hardly come up

dark kernel
#

Nah BGs are great for rogue, depending on how your team plays

dapper chasm
#

Not to show off, but I'm actually a ahem MASTER of CTF

#

Certified

gleaming pawn
#

Lol

dark kernel
#

I've had games where I single handedly win games, and games where I'm fighting my team more to do what needs to happen.

gleaming pawn
#

I would flex too but I am not home ☹️

dapper chasm
#

Ultimate flex is I did it when the game was relevant

dark kernel
#

I would never play a CTF map again if I could

dapper chasm
#

I queue WSG for fun

dark kernel
#

Gross.

dapper chasm
#

We all have our sick fetishes

dark kernel
#

I did the original rank14 grind back in the day and not again

#

Bg achievements can suck my ass

dapper chasm
#

I started in classic, but didn't hit max level till TBC

gleaming pawn
dapper chasm
#

I was there, Gandalf, when achievements launched

gleaming pawn
#

Also CTF is the goat, I would only play CTF if I could. WSG was my home back in the day

dapper chasm
#

Your team means very little

#

Just Ironman+Wrecking Ball every game

#

If they're being farmed on graveyard, that means you get the kills to yourself

gleaming pawn
#

Back in the old days, I could zone into an 0-2 WSG and turn it around to win

dark kernel
#

This is my old rogue discontinued in wotlk

dapper chasm
#

WotLK, BiS

#

Before my time

#

I had triple exalted when achievements became a thing

#

I didn't really get into PvP till wrath

#

Was a... PvE nerd

Nobody understands the pain of WSG exalted in vanilla WoW pre 1.14 patch

#

You got 105 rep a win

But luckily I lost my virginity and insta got into PvP

#

I just want to get a glad title

I love this new city zone

Used to be an instant death sentence

#

What are some of the best gear options for rogue pvp and how do you get the gear?

severe helm
#

almost all bis pvp gear comes from conquest

#

or from crafted conquest gear

#

there are no sources outside of pvp that are valuable in pvp

#

so there istn any raid gear or m+ gear you need

#

just world pvp/conquest

twilit swan
#

Yeah goal is to hit 1800 first time

#

Cna we talk about how awesome the gouge change is

#

Garrote rupture not breaking gouge. Sits full.

potent pivot
#

yeah it's nice

proper heath
#

I think assa stonks went way up this patch. I think mechanically we are so nice atm.

#

Just a numbers game now with tier set.

#

Might be oof.......

twilit swan
#

In terms of simplicity for a beginner, what addons are nice qol but not too extreme on the UI

potent pivot
#

there's a list of addons in the pins

proper heath
#

Is gladius working for anyone? Is that broken too?

potent pivot
#

some of them are kind hard required like Gladius

twilit swan
#

Oo nice

proper heath
#

My gladius is dead af.

twilit swan
#

Require hard setup though ?

potent pivot
#

nah

#

Gladius you can just install

twilit swan
#

Trying to go for the most simple clean UI I can go with

potent pivot
#

you just have to make sure you keep it updated every couple weeks, or every day on patch release (like right now)

#

pvp has gotten pretty addon dependent

twilit swan
#

I want to knock that out before I get into pvp

potent pivot
#

but the set up isn't as bad as it used to be

#

like BetterBlizzPlates and BetterBlizzFrames have preloaded profiles you can just choose from

twilit swan
#

Nice I’ll check those out

#

Is there an add on that allows me to delete things from my UI, standard wow things like chat and quests etc.

potent pivot
#

WeakAuras requires a bit more set up, or importing someone else's auras.. not hard required for more casual level play though

#

uhh

twilit swan
#

Yeah, I’m coming in extremely casual but want to learn from the ground up

potent pivot
#

MoveAny has some functionality for removing things

#

like the quest tracker

#

idk about chat

proper heath
#

So fun fact. I swapped my outlaw rogue to assa with Haste Crit stats. I'm lowest damage every game. Triple bleeds doesn't matter. I do negative dam. It's hilarious.

Dope thanks

#

Once full honor is achieved is there something else I should aim for ?

potent pivot
#

umm

twilit swan
#

Or just wait since conquest is time gated until the season starts

potent pivot
#

you're going to want to have some gold

#

you can earn conquest right now and buy season 1 gear

#

bloody token gear as well

#

that gear will just be replaced with honor gear

#

so its w/e

twilit swan
#

Ooooo

potent pivot
#

but you're def gonna need gold for enchants and crafted gear

twilit swan

Yeah I never got into crafting so idk too much about it

Probably Outlaw or Sub still. Sin is still the squishiest Rogue spec and doesn’t play well with a mage removing your bleeds

Take your cut and enduring brawler feelsbadman

glass robin
#

Anyone mind schooling me on best rogue spec for bg blitz? Never really played the class, but wanna try to farm the mog this season not sure which spec to roll

potent pivot
#

Play whatever you like or are better with

glass robin
#

any specific strengths of one spec vs another? Team fights, etc. ?

potent pivot
#

Not really, all 3 are good at playing objectives

#

Assa can do the best in team fights but that generally isn’t the rogues job

glass robin
#

Yeah figured as much TY

severe helm
#

Sub is the best at taking bases

#

Outlaw is mobile

#

Outlaw is prob the weakest of the 3 but is still a rogue so is strong

hidden moth
#

outlaw in good on some maps

#

only spec that can get to other side of eots and stop team from capping their home base

molten hedge
#

Is the best/hero spec the same for outlaw rn or is it too early to know

potent pivot
#

Fatebound is still good, but trickster will likely be good now too

#

Will be weird playing without 4 hooks but if it does more dmg I’m sure many will swap to it

#

For arena I mean

severe helm
#

Both mage and boomy can

#

And demon hunter

meant to say kites* but im assuming hunter still wins that - for some reason mage feels very arena focused but the ice wall edition has made them insane in blitz

oh kites?

ummmm

#

I think mage in general kites harder than hunter but not by much

#

just cuz blink/shimmer is such a low cd

but as a whole I find it easier to connect to a hunter than a mage

but thats specifically as a rogue so idk how other specs feel
