hidden moth
#

ngl im confused on what is happening on his scren

potent pivot
hidden moth
#

i saw a clip and his truficd

#

showed he ruptured 3x in a row?

potent pivot
#

Nah sometimes trufigcd just does weird shit like that

hidden moth
#

nvm

potent pivot
#

It was probably because of Replicating Shadows

hidden moth
#

its bc he was using it while being glared

potent pivot
#

Or that

hidden moth
#

is a macro for blades being use blades symbol and dance a good idea?

#

keep the others on seperate binds etc

gleaming pawn
#

doesn't TrufiCD list the spell icon the number of CP used to cast it?

#

ie he sent a 3 CP Rupture

potent pivot
#

i don't think so no

#

sometimes it will duplicate the icon for cleaving spells like replicating shadows rupture

#

or garrote/rupture indisciminate carnage

#

but it also just does weird shit sometimes

hidden moth
#

also assume i use flag into cheap shadow strike tech cheap evis cheap evis?

potent pivot
#

that legit goes over openers

gleaming pawn
#

Palumor also usually has basic burst rotation videos

potent pivot
#

you just replace the sepsis with a shadowstrike or something

gleaming pawn
#

they are generally all about all-ining your target, but he does the break down well

#

I can't decide which healing priest spec I want to do Blitz with this season. Disc is always fun and generally good but can struggle with the spread out lots of target pressure

#

but Holy has to hard cast just so much

potent pivot
#

lol

hidden moth
#

yeah nvm im just gonna stick with ass

potent pivot
#

sepsis is an old ability

hidden moth
#

yeah

#

im just not liking how many buttons i need to push iun a opener

#

the equivalent of deathmark into shiv kb over 3 gcd is like

severe helm
#

You do almost the exact same thing every time

hidden moth
#

yeah trinket tea dance blades all at once but i dont have the binds to be able to hit 4 abilitys at the same time between globals

severe helm
#

Macro it...

#

We have the technology

hidden moth
#

but in the opener vid nahj didnt send all at once

#

he did like 1-2 then a gcd then the other 3

gleaming pawn
#

that's because at the level he is playing, it's not wise to send all at once in a macro

#

but starting fresh, and for a lot of levels of play just putting your burst into a macro isn't going to lose you the match

#

it might once and a while, but meh

hidden moth
#

fair

hard garnet
#

What's everyone playing this week?!

#

sub or sin

potent pivot
#

whatever your heart desires

#

iโ€™m probably gonna play whatever is broken

#

(mm hunter)

grave basin
#

Im playing feral ๐Ÿ˜บ

#

And sp and maybe ww

hard garnet
#

I want to try arms before nerf ๐Ÿ˜›

hidden moth
#

true

#

mm hunter 1800 week 1 ez as fuck

dark kernel
#

Anyone good with TEEA DR tracker

#

I cannot get the anchor point for it to re-orient to the otherside of nameplate

gleaming pawn
#

nope I don't use it, but I will agree with Zanaken before he can weigh in that I hate your UI ๐Ÿ™‚

severe helm
#

p easy to configure

#

but im sure teaa can do it im just not experienced in it

gleaming pawn
ionic orbit
#

Where do you start this quest so you can buy the conquest points weapons?

severe helm
#

itll just auto complete for you

#

once you get 2500

ionic orbit
#

they should put that next to the item instead of do the quest

stoic spruce
#

You remember?

severe helm
stoic spruce
#

Interesting

#

Thanks man

graceful ravine
#

did they fix the deathstalker combat bug?

potent pivot
#

no

#

on PTR it wasn't happening as badly but wasn't fixed completely

graceful ravine
#

im surprised sub rogues playing the supercharged cp talents now

#

it doesnt do anything when we have shadowblades up during our burst right?

dapper chasm
#

Then just select that you want it to grow right wards, and then you can also change the "anchor point" to be the left side (of the DR trackers) and attached to the right side (of the unit frames)

graceful ravine
#

is there a reason to do the campaign as a pvper

dapper chasm
vocal surge
#

in Shadowlands, you had to reach the exact combo point the Supercharge Combo Point was on to get the 7 Combo Point spent effect

graceful ravine
#

ahhh i see

vocal surge
#

in the current iteration, we spend our combo points at the max value to get +2 (+3 w. Forced Induction) to our spender

#

so 6 combo points --> 8 or 9 w. Forced Induction

sharp sierra
#

Is there a talent or passive that gives back full combo points after using a finisher especialy Secret Tech I cant find it anywhere in the tree?

teal bough
#

After the recent post what you guys think is best tuned sub ou ass?

dark kernel
#

ass by far

sharp sierra
#

How do I track that and predict wheb its gonna give me a full combo point restore after I use a finisher is it random or?

#

@glass hazel

glass hazel
#

everytime shadow technique procs it stores 1cp, it is purple color i think in blizz ui

#

or in any rogue wa ๐Ÿ™‚ it shows as extra cp

dapper chasm
#

Here you go

#

It's basically a number in the upper middle that builds up

#

I originally had it glow when it hit 7+, but it was a bit gaudy

sharp sierra
#

Thanks alot folks

grave basin
#

i love this new zone

twilit swan
#

So I decided to learn sub rogue as a beginner (find it the most fun after trying out all 3) is there anything I absolutely need to track ?

spring bough
#

night elf or kul tiran for season 2

#

looks like trickster finally got buffed too? up there with ST fate?? and better at aoe still GG

#

holy fuck elite set is so hot tooooo

prime ocean
#

im currently perma energy starved on outlaw is that normally?

severe helm
#

And usually adr uptime is a function of how well you're playing

prime ocean
#

is it important i use dagger as offhand?

spring bough
#

did they upgrade wow graphics?? shit looks diff too lol

#

higher quality

brave plume
#

how do hunters use hunters mark on you while you are stealthed and they are in camo and 30yd away?

#

in wpvp

halcyon timber
spring bough
#

very noticeable

#

feels like a diff game lol

#

also outlaw aoe feels so stupid and ST dmg too

stoic spruce
#

Remember the jump from SL to DF performance wise?

halcyon timber
#

Yeah all 3 specializations look solid.

spring bough
#

getting to undermine is fun

#

i like this so far

#

and it feels like in world pvp horde > alliance now?? i dont understand lol

halcyon timber
#

Prob just shards

boreal briar
#

On Sargeras, ally own most of the time, so Im assuming its all region dependant

spring bough
#

does honor reset tuesday too?

spring bough
#

undermine fist wep looks so dope

#

which cartel we pvpers choosing

runic laurel
#

Have you looked at the rewards?

spring bough
#

no idea they were diff lool

runic laurel
#

Yeah itโ€™s basically just cosmetic stuff so look at the rewards and you can decide which one has a mount or toy youโ€™d prefer

#

But also you pick again every week Iโ€™m assuming so if you want to change your mind youโ€™re only 1 week of rep grinding behind

ember elbow
#

is there any video or something up to date explaining sub openers

lusty meteor
#

No reason to return until next week for honor gear right?

karmic tinsel
#

what are sin pvp talents?

spring bough
#

unlocked undermine portal to dornogal. guess thats it for the week? lol

potent pivot
#

besides renown and pve items yeah

#

maybe farm honor cap or somethin

#

last week to turn bloody token gear into LFR recolor using the catalyst if you want any free sets

spring bough
#

honor doesnt reset? def gonna farm it

potent pivot
#

ye it only ever resets on new expansion

spring bough
#

undermine music gonna get on my nerves so fast lol

gleaming pawn
#

I'm not going to complain, but it's kind of wild that the Bloodstones are not season specific

spring bough
#

i get so many 5 rolls now its so nice

jolly sierra
#

music went downhill after legion imo

spring bough
potent pivot
#

a lot of ppl have been hyping the undermine music

gleaming pawn
jolly sierra
#

OOF

glass hazel
#

dunno i like it a lot, best thing in that zone is ost

#

rest just cancer esp scraps

severe helm
#

Yeah it's pretty good

#

Some people will hear Coltrane and say "wow this sounds like elevator music"

#

To each their own

stiff cedar
#

how are we expecting outlaw to look next week?

dapper chasm
#

Well, I wont name names, but it was posted here that it's basically just the weaker sibling to sub - easier to play and frankly more of an entry spec to the real deal

#

Some posts even stated that it's "lame" and "should go back to being called combat and stop pretending to be cool"

severe helm
#

A little fried to say outlaw is easier than sub

#

Has a significantly harder rotation and requires way more uptime to get value while having similar strictness for cross cc on goes in order to force CDs

dapper chasm
#

That reminds me, I heard something like "People who roll rogue to play outlaw are like the people who go to an Asian resturaunt just to order the fried chicken and chips from the bottom of the menu"

severe helm
#

It's harder than sub in pretty much every way imo

#

In what way do people consider sub harder?

dapper chasm
#

Mechanically

severe helm
#

Lololololol

dapper chasm
#

And the men who choose it

severe helm
#

Aite that's hilarious

#

Outlaw presses more buttons pre opener than sub even has in its rotation

dapper chasm
#

I'm just saying what I hear, the zeitgeist of the community - don't attack the messenger

severe helm
#

I think the only grounds for argument is how everyone knows what subs burst looks like so people are good at trading into that

stiff cedar
#

i just wanted info on its current tuning as i haven't tested, but this is far better ๐Ÿฟ

dapper chasm
#

Well, sub is king for sure

#

In terms of skill cap and performance

severe helm
#

I think it's mixed right now

#

Some think outlaw will outperform

dapper chasm
#

He's clearly biased

severe helm
#

Some say sub

#

Hard to say

dapper chasm
#

All say sub

severe helm
#

I mean I say sub

#

But others have said trickster outlaw

#

So no I'm not biased here haha

#

But good guess

dapper chasm
#

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

potent pivot
#

sub is more difficult on a macro level

dapper chasm
#

And we all know how weird Starcraft boys are

severe helm
#

Yeah those difficulties exist for outlaw

#

If you ignore them you lose in the same way it's just less obvious as for sub

#

Outlaw is literally just sub that requires way more uptime to keep pressure

dapper chasm
#

You're saying a lot of subjective things - let's look at objective FACTS here

#

Sub is the sexier spec

#

Yeah, nothing to say because you know it to be true

potent pivot
severe helm
#

Sub players crack me up

#

They all sound like you lol

potent pivot
#

THAT is not true

severe helm
#

Hahahahahaha

potent pivot
#

zanaken is a one-of-a-kind specimen

#

lool

severe helm
#

They all pretend it's the hardest specs to ever exist yet most of them have only been high rated when rmp is SSSS+++ tier

#

The most one dimensional players

dapper chasm
#

You have to choose between two random people to spend an evening hanging out

  • One is a comb- OUTLAW spec player and his mum let him place an order on his first nippon steel replica sword
  • Two is a Subtlety player who will bring two girls and has tickets to that show you like
stoic spruce
#

Who let you back in the house?

potent pivot
#

idk man outlaw is a warrior with more cc

dapper chasm
#

I was there when the laws were WRITTEN

stiff cedar
#

i think that's a weird flex but tbd

potent pivot
#

if you don't know how to pre plan for your burst as sub you're gonna suck

severe helm
severe helm
#

Outlaw included

dapper chasm
severe helm
#

Feral

#

Surv/mm

#

Boomy even

potent pivot
#

imo the only spec in the game that is close to as difficult as sub in pvp is feral

severe helm
#

Most comps do cross cc and set up to force CDs

#

If anything sub has it easier

#

Cuz they require no rotational setup

#

At all

#

0

#

Count down from 3

#

That's it

#

They've skipped past half the difficulty of wow

potent pivot
#

thats only when rmp is meta

severe helm
#

Which is keeping pressure in between goes

potent pivot
severe helm
dapper chasm
#

Notice how the sub Chad stated his peace and sits back while the Outlaw child is posting over and over in single lines

potent pivot
#

i would like to see you push on sub mewo

severe helm
#

Good subs make it work outside of that meta

potent pivot
#

and say the same stuff

severe helm
#

What rank do I need to get to on sub

#

Til I can shit talk it and you won't argue lol

dapper chasm
#

2.4k is standard "decent rank"

severe helm
#

Oh ez lol

stiff cedar
#

im so glad I asked this question i got 20 mins of entertainment from it

dapper chasm
#

I didn't say it was hard, I said it was decent

stiff cedar
#

likely more

dapper chasm
#

Wait, are you USA or EU?

stiff cedar
#

im invested in the mewo sub arc now

severe helm
#

Should be fun ๐Ÿ˜‰

dapper chasm
#

2.4k is about 3k/3.1k in USA

potent pivot
stiff cedar
#

weren't the only r1 subs last season on NA?

dapper chasm
#

Well, it's just a fact different regions have different rating caps for decency

potent pivot
#

i feel like na/eu thing has been disproven so many times

severe helm
#

It has been

stiff cedar
dapper chasm
#

That's why it's called mating season

stiff cedar
#

for seasons at a time?

severe helm
#

Bad players usually tell themselves otherwise to make them feel better about being hard stuck 2k on eu

potent pivot
#

xeek got r1 on both regions last season

severe helm
#

"I'd be r1 if I was NA"

dapper chasm
stiff cedar
#

if it lasts more than 4 hours you need to call your doctor brother

potent pivot
#

i think meep may have as well

dapper chasm
#

But it is a FACT that EU>USA for skill/intellemectuality

stiff cedar
#

r1 shuffle sub cut off was higher in NA than EU ๐Ÿ‘€

dapper chasm
#

That actually proves my point

stiff cedar
#

by 11 cr LMAO

#

so no difference

#

baited

potent pivot
dapper chasm
potent pivot
#

from a perpective of most players

severe helm
#

They have different difficulties but sub players are sub one tricks for a reason imo

#

It's an entirely different game playing sub

#

You skip past so many other aspects of the game most specs deal with

dapper chasm
stiff cedar
#

i honestly think it might be better to say it takes different skills than it does "more or less" skills

#

non trolling

dapper chasm
#

I agree

#

Different skills, like mechanics and strategy

#

vs ability to paste macros

stiff cedar
#

that being said, i don't support the statement sub is harder than outlaw

#

zanaken is misreading that to trollz

severe helm
#

Few do outside of sub rogues

#

In both pve and pvp outlaw is pretty well known to have he hardest rotation

potent pivot
#

i've played all 3 specs pretty religiously since SL

#

and would say it is

stiff cedar
#

i think outlaw and arcane have the 2 hardest rotations in the game

#

but i haven't actually played EVERY spec

severe helm
#

Arcanes has changed so much though

potent pivot
#

but the high apm/rotation of outlaw comes easily to me

severe helm
#

It's gotten easier

stiff cedar
#

yeah i believe that

severe helm
#

But arcane is def hard

stiff cedar
#

it was very, very, very complex

#

at one point in time

severe helm
#

Mage as a whole is a hard class

dapper chasm
#

My man, this is #pvp and you're talking about rotations - I think this speaks volumes more than any evidence ever could

stiff cedar
#

oh right i forgot

#

you don't do rotations in pvp

severe helm
stiff cedar
#

my bad

severe helm
#

Gottem

dapper chasm
#

No, every moment is unique and demanding

stiff cedar
#

sub rotation is build spend build spend, it's easy to forget rotations exist i get it

severe helm
#

Crazy you're so lost in the sauce you think rotation doesn't matter in pvp

#

While you afk behind a pillar going for a restealth between Drs "God I'm so high skilled and gigabrained"

potent pivot
gleaming sentinel
#

Sub has to compete with weak aura air horn. Everyone just knows to peel dance insta. In shuffle itโ€™s pretty hard for a newer rogue.

dapper chasm
#

Look at it this way, the other day I caught my wife looking at me and she said "You know, you're a fucking handsome guy"

#

Has a outlaw player ever heard the same?

stiff cedar
#

yes

stoic spruce
#

and then you woke up

austere thorn
#

this is a very interesting and important discussion I think u guys should keep at it until we get to the bottom of this

potent pivot
#

l0l

dapper chasm
stiff cedar
potent pivot
#

i just think these guys don't know how to have a discussion with zanaken

severe helm
potent pivot
#

it's hilarious though yes

dapper chasm
#

This is education

stiff cedar
severe helm
#

If this is what you think education is then that explains a lot

potent pivot
#

mewo what sub rogue hurt your feelings bro

#

getting a little weird over there man

dapper chasm
austere thorn
#

prob pikaboo doing viewer 2s

severe helm
#

Honestly outside of frost dks I think sub is one of the specs I respect the least

#

Nah I'm not in pikas carry rating

stoic spruce
#

he gets it

dapper chasm
#

Someone got slapped by sub

severe helm
#

Sub wins more games that it doesn't deserve to more than almost any other

dapper chasm
#

Case in point

potent pivot
#

yeah you're fried

severe helm
#

To beat a sub rogue you have to play way better than them

gleaming sentinel
#

Cookin

severe helm
#

You have to trade perfectly

dapper chasm
#

But you didn't?

severe helm
#

While they put in minimal effort doing the same goes over and over

#

But they have the easiest defensive gameplay in the game

#

Cuz they can just run

#

With no cost

dapper chasm
#

FREE running?

severe helm
#

I've watched so many high rated rmps overlap defensives constantly

#

And win the game

potent pivot
#

shuffle has fried your brain my guy

stiff cedar
#

i mean

severe helm
#

While on the opposite side of you overlap ONCE

#

To an rmp

#

You lose

dapper chasm
#

I was into R/M/D myself

stiff cedar
#

toooooo be fair i've watched the same happen with splay, with cupid, with feral sp, and with tons of other comps as well

dapper chasm
#

RLS was also pure fire

#

You guys WATCH WoW?

#

I just play tbh

stoic spruce
#

duel removal will weed out some of the bad sub players

potent pivot
#

yep, the same shit hasn't happened with 3 different outlaw comps in the past few years. nope, never happened.

severe helm
#

Rmd plays so different from sub rmp

stiff cedar
#

there was a point in df where cupid could just permanently out rotate rmp even when overlapping constantly

severe helm
#

Sub rmp isnt even remotely the same comp as any other rmX non sub variants

dapper chasm
#

A masterbaiter

Between goes

severe helm
stiff cedar
dapper chasm
severe helm
#

Outlaw also can't use vanish defensively without losing a ton of pressure

dapper chasm
#

I should add one LITTLE addendum to the discussion - I haven't played Outlaw since it was called combat

#

But I don't see much difference, spiritually speaking

#

Combat people are just fucking weird

#

Do you guys still socket haste gems?

stiff cedar
#

last ssn AFAIK you played to 10% then went crit

dapper chasm
#

Fucking weirdos

stoic spruce
#

this dude

#

lol

stiff cedar
#

tbh, hitting thresholds is more interesting than just max stacking vers mastery on every piece and crafting everything you can't with 0 thought

dapper chasm
#

Actually, you just stack mastery

#

Vers builds on its own

stiff cedar
#

feels more classic-y, "you need blank % hit, then go into this"

dapper chasm
#

So you finally agree?

stoic spruce
#

I miss shadowlands

stiff cedar
#

cdew playin 2x outlaw ssn4

#

hype

severe helm
#

Haha that was honestly wild

#

Yeah outlaw back then was very fury warrior adjacent

stiff cedar
#

still hilarious to me

#

lost to an outlaw with a caster iirc

severe helm
#

Infinite CDs and just press glowy button

stiff cedar
#

but excellent content to watch nonetheless

dapper chasm
gleaming sentinel
#

Red buff killing spree was pretty nuts too

stiff cedar
#

i think evasion and cloak should get added back to restless blades baseline

severe helm
#

Naaah

#

Def not

#

You can take a talent for it if you want

stiff cedar
#

also fdk should be immune to cc during pillar of frost like monk is during conduit, only fair

severe helm
#

But rogue has enough defensive even with vanish being an offensive button

stiff cedar
dapper chasm
#

I'm mostly happy with sub, but I do wish healthpools were lower

stiff cedar
potent pivot
#

trueing !!

stoic spruce
stiff cedar
#

okay unironically

stoic spruce
#

really just needs disarm protection

stiff cedar
#

i think shaman might be the hard counter to current fdk

severe helm
#

That'd be nice

stiff cedar
#

because when i watched kalv get shockwaved during pillar

#

it knocked him far enough that the shaman was out of the circle

dapper chasm
#

What on earth is fdk?

severe helm
#

Thunderstormed?

stiff cedar
#

and you are almost rooted on fdk so he couldn't get back in

severe helm
#

Also you and just deaths advance the knock

#

If you know it's coming

stiff cedar
#

oh i agree

#

but it was pretty insane, killed the whole go

severe helm
#

But yeah fdk is so unfun to play against

dapper chasm
#

Is fdk a combat thing?

stiff cedar
#

was funny to watch him fail to waddle back in range

#

yes

severe helm
#

Lolol

stiff cedar
#

and it's hard countered by thunderstorm

#

which is a priest thing

dapper chasm
#

That's a shaman thing, dumbass

#

Seriously, what happened to this game since Cata?

severe helm
#

Lol this guy doesn't know priest has thunderstorm

potent pivot
#

mewo do you have a maghar orc for pve or u just use ur nelf or pvp rogue

severe helm
#

Nelf always for me

stiff cedar
severe helm
#

I hear dwarf is bis though still

dapper chasm
#

That's sub power

#

I had macros from 2009

#

And I'm kinda getting used to the dragons/edgy-boys/monks

stiff cedar
#

edgy boys?

dapper chasm
#

The homogenising actually helps a lot

#

Eh, the Illidan cosplayers

stiff cedar
#

ah

dapper chasm
#

Honestly forgot

#

Purple

stiff cedar
#

yeah

dapper chasm
#

Have weird jump in the air immunity and mega evasion

#

Can be cheap shotted at least

stiff cedar
#

i just wasn't sure, when i think "edgy boys" i think venthyr rogues tbh so

dapper chasm
#

No, it's 3 whole new classes to deal with

#

Plus 3 new furry races

#

Which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's still weird it's 3

stiff cedar
#

3 new classes?

dapper chasm
#

No, specifically furry races

#

Pandas/Dragons (but like clearly hentai dragons, not cool dragons) / Weird fox things

#

And some guy clearly added new customisation options to humans and some manager went "that's a whole new race right there, Toby" and cut himself a bonus

#

Same guy sees people over 6 foot IRL and goes "Woah, are you even HUMAN?"

#

Man, I just miss the Grizzly Hills music

stoic spruce
#

im starting to think this guy actually plays sub rogue

stiff cedar
stoic spruce
#

of course sub is as good as it is when its been taking everything from Outlaw since SL

severe helm
#

Nah if you play sub you're actually like 600 rating higher on any other spec but you have to keep your power level down to not demolish people

#

So you gimp yourself playing sub

#

Goku with ankle weights

#

Not that you'd play another spec cuz it would just be unfair to everyone else

dapper chasm
#

I did say broken clocks are right TWICE a day

potent pivot
#

replace everything Mewo said with "rogue"

#

๐Ÿ’ฏ

dapper chasm
#

Frankly, I'm glad we lost Shadowy Duel - it will help... clarify things

potent pivot
#

you play rogue? you'd be +600 rating on any other class

severe helm
#

Easiest 3k of my life

#

No joke

#

Holy fuck that spec is boosted

potent pivot
#

this past season was the first time i played more than 1 alt seriously

#

and the difference is definitely staggering

severe helm
#

I alted a LOT in DF

#

I'm actually a shadow priest main

#

Lol

#

But their discord is boring

#

And spriest got like no changes from Df to tww

potent pivot
#

warrior/dk are free 2ks

#

i didn't play ret as much

#

ret felt too weird

#

felt like i'd have been better off playing hpal in some lobbies

#

fucking healing people and shit

#

got 1.8 on warrior without trinkets basically

#

easiest class i've ever played in pvp

severe helm

Ret just felt like there was a whole second set of healer CDs in the lobby

Sin is borderline OP

potent pivot
#

idk why they keep buffing sin aoe

gleaming pawn
#

I fucking hate it

potent pivot
#

its so dumb

#

even the pve sin rogues are like ASwtf

#

their ST is doggy rn

gleaming pawn
stoic spruce
#

true

potent pivot
#

they're going to be dropping 24M envenoms though

#

in pve this season

glass hazel
#

isnt st like super bad?

stoic spruce
#

relative to its AOE

#

but its ST in general is very good

potent pivot
#

eh

#

it's ST is very bad in any of it's aoe builds

potent tiger
#

why did they remove pvp boxes already? thats dumb

stoic spruce
#

Had the strangest pvp night

#

I have an idea

hazy monolith
#

yo guys im coming back to outlaw, are the rumors right we are s tier?

stoic spruce
#

yes its rogue

#

@wise crown DMs

indigo hill
#

Probably just gonna remain a rumors till the season starts.

rustic isle
#

Is there an ideal way to gear? Like things you should spend conquest on first?

stoic spruce
#

mainstat pieces first

river pollen
#

man no duel is worse for subs

#

it was basically an extra lil dance

indigo hill
#

Haven't met allot of subs that knew what to do with dual. They always used it on me when I got all my cd's and full health.

stoic spruce
#

no such thing as a bad sub just a bad sub player

normal zealot
#

what a beautiful team

old dome
#

We have any clue about state of specs? Wondering if I should go for main stat Sub or Out.

tender ember
#

there is no gear available so u cant say anything

#

from history since basically df s1: assa- best for low cr to medium glad range; sub- hardly nerfed through season if dmg is too big, hard to succed, very depresive when all play to interupt u during dance; outlaw: fun to play, bad in arena if u r low cr to low glad player, bis rog spec on high glad- r1 range

#

and i dont expect this to change

hidden moth
#

Just bc outlaw lost good util and sub has a shit damage profile bc everytime sub has a go they have a defensive vs assa being the easiest spec just roleplaying as a lock

#

And โ€œhaving more cc than subโ€

dark kernel
old dome
#

Ty for information! @hidden moth assa is the spec I found hardest. But playing and learning is the motto.

dapper chasm
stoic spruce
#

saved a CD for duel

#

because thats all they knew

#

duel and win

dapper chasm
#

#almosthaiku

stoic spruce
#

So true

#

Yknow

#

You're the only sub main I like

#

Had to think about it after saying jic I got hit with a little more brain juice but yeah. I think you're it.

indigo hill
dapper chasm
#

That's some Art of War wisdom right there

#

Of course, the ultimate victory is uninstalling

teal prawn
#

what would be the one-shot rotation for sub for like open world pvp, I feel like I don't have time to press flag

dapper chasm
#

"One-shot rotation" - now we're doing a single hand clapping

#

This discord is going all philosophical on me

ye I was looking for something more specific, I understand what needs to happen

I def think sin was easiest of the 3 to learn

#

3 dots up, big cd, kidney shot + shiv + smokebomb, envenom spam = win

exotic dove
old dome
#

I just feel so slow and energy starved when playing assa

#

Bare in mind im a baddie at 1.8k so I might be doing stuff wrong.

exotic dove
#

Any Rogue spec in general is not like a BM Hunter or Frost Dk as far as ease but over time I think you can improve so keep at it. It could be build etc but I don't really know what you doing wrong. Shadenox is someone you can watch videos on youtube of his gameplay and see how he does things maybe that will help

proven stump
potent pivot
#

Nah

#

I think heโ€™s trying to say something about their difficulty but that can be subjective

proven stump
#

sub outperforms all if you're skilled enough

#

feel like its always been this way?

prime ocean
#

can anyone do an explainer why i do 300k dps in shuffle

#

except that i m terribad

potent pivot
prime ocean
#

combat

potent pivot
#

You should be going for high uptime and extending ADR with vanish etc

#

Can def do more than 300k

potent pivot
prime ocean
#

how does vanish extend adr?

potent pivot
#

Iโ€™d say sub is the highest skill ceiling spec

potent pivot
prime ocean
#

xd

exotic dove
severe helm
#

outlaw has a lot of rotational rules that improve your dps

#

the spec is all about maintaining adr buff

#

which you do by milking your cdr which is done by using your cps as efficiently as possible

#

so it all boils down to being good with builder/spender rules

#

your main window that generates a lot of cdr is vanish(subterfuge) so you gotta be sure not to get cced on that

#

most people nowadays are tracking your subterfuge as outlaw so specs like hunter/ww/war/lock/etc are all looking to scatter/disarm/incap/etc on you during that window

prime ocean
#

mhkay

#

damn i never reall paid attention to ADR with vanish

potent pivot
#

ye that's a big one

severe helm
#

Yeah adr is a huge damage increase for outlaw but since you can get its uptime close to 70-80% in pvp, we are balanced around having it up so when its down you just kinda do miserable damage haha

prime ocean
#

feels a lot better already thansk guys

dapper chasm
#

Is the new honor gear going to be better than the current epics?

potent pivot
#

yes

dapper chasm
#

Bah

potent pivot
#

it's going to be like

#

665 or some shit

dapper chasm
#

Is the cap gonna do it?

potent pivot
#

like will cap buy full set?

#

a full honor set should be 10.5k honor

severe helm
#

I think you only need like 11000

#

yeah its p cheap

#

everyone is effectively instantly full geared haha

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

and you really don't even need that

#

because you can get 2 bloody token pieces

#

2 conquest pieces

#

and 2-3 crafted conquest pieces

#

all week 1

dapper chasm
#

Oh, I didn't even think about tokens

#

I got 1.1k on me, is that ok?

potent pivot
#

they reset

dapper chasm
#

Well, fuck me

potent pivot
#

i've been spending all of mine and using them on the catalyst for the LFR recolor of the set

dapper chasm
#

If I care enough I'll just solo those next xpac

#

I already got my Bloodfang

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

it's just 1 less difficulty to ever need farming

dapper chasm
#

I'm gonna tell you a secret

#

I'm just never gonna farm it

potent pivot
dapper chasm
#

Can't improve on perfection

potent pivot
#

there's some specific stuff i want to go back and farm

dapper chasm
#

But why?

potent pivot
#

like some castle nathria stuff is sick

dapper chasm
#

But will you use it?

potent pivot
#

yeah

dapper chasm
#

More than the farm itself took?

potent pivot
#

i get bored and swap transmogs sometimes

#

the farming is pretty easy now

dapper chasm
#

Nah, I dig it, but I got 14 transmogs

potent pivot
#

since you unlock all items for all classes now

dapper chasm
#

I'm done

#

Other... classes?

potent pivot
#

yes zanaken, some of us play multiple classes

dapper chasm
#

My mage and priest haven't been touched in 15 years

#

And I'm just sitting on those tokens for free level ups

potent pivot
#

i've got like 10 classes leveled

dapper chasm
#

You must be having 10x the fun to me then

lusty meteor
#

Can someone give me a quick sub opener for this season pls

#

or is there one pasted i missed?

#

buff - evis - ss - ST - keep lock - ss evis - ss evis?

#

some thing like that

potent pivot
#

just replace sepsis with shadowstrike

hybrid palm
#

Survivability got dumpstered after removal cloak veil talent

austere thorn
#

The new feint talent is nice as fuck tho

potent pivot
#

@cyan gate can't use the server as LFG

hybrid palm
austere thorn
#

Veil cloak should never made it live

hybrid palm
#

Pvp mentality changes when you know rogue can't cloak off stuff

#

Just aim rogue

potent pivot
#

eh

#

maybe for blitz

#

it won't change much in arena

austere thorn
#

I mean we are strong defensively that we get to use vanish, one of the strongest defensives in the game as part of our damage rotation

hybrid palm
#

Literally every class has strongest defensive in the game :D, nothing special about vanish, veil cloak was special

#

Without veil cloak, with bleeds you just re appear in 3 seconds on map, n get cannoned like a ...

#

N what else is a pala bubble? It's the same thing as veil cloak pretty much, but that continues to exist

last jasper
#

6 sec with cloaked in shadows. 6sec is more than enough for ur healer to pop u back

deft spear
#

Iโ€™m so undecided. If you had to choose a ebg spec which would you choose?

dapper chasm
#

Vanish gives a shield if bleeds scare you so much

#

But realistically, how long do you want?

#

Are you looking for like a full cheese reset?

hybrid palm
dapper chasm
#

Sure, but it DID feel cheesy vs Ass/Feral and stuff

hybrid palm
#

N I don't see how vanish compares with veil :D, veil literally deleted enemy damage on you, vanish does not. Veil also secured safer vanishes into stealths of your control

hybrid palm
dapper chasm
#

I was talking about you saying you would pop out after 3 secs of vanish

dapper chasm
hybrid palm
dapper chasm
#

And I was just saying it's not really fucking with vanish that much

#

It came, it went

#

It shall be missed, but bye bye

dapper chasm
#

I actually prefer feeling like a glass cannon rather than the diamond cannon I came back to

gleaming pawn
#

Zanaken, roll Assa so you can feel more glass than canon

deft spear
#

I hear a lot about outlaw for rb/blitz but sin/sub ranked way above them on murloc meta. Is that ranking misleading?

dapper chasm
potent pivot
#

rogue as a whole is one of the best bg classes in the game

deft spear
#

Yeah. I like them all. Just wanna see where to spend my honor first lol

potent pivot
#

well assa/sub share gear so

#

generally always good to gear them first

deft spear
#

Honestly I was just looking at that

#

Outlaw felt funny in pve but Iโ€™ve never tried it in pvp. Might try it tonight and see

hybrid palm
#

With veiled cloak gone it's more profitable to play cheat death , correct ?

potent pivot
#

idk i doubt it

#

feint pvp talent and elusiveness is big

hybrid palm
#

The two talents stack ?

potent pivot
#

yes

hybrid palm
#

Ok

#

So then thiefs bargain n perma be on feint ?

dapper chasm
#

That reminds me - I tested Tricks of the Trade

#

And it's fucking disgusting

#

Time it right and shit explodes

#

And people literally whisper you after to say thanks in shuffle!

#

Like - one guy, but still!

potent pivot
#

thiefs bargain is ass

hybrid palm
#

Does trickster keep tricks perma buffed ?

potent pivot
#

no

#

it does not keep the pvp talent damage buff up

hybrid palm
#

Ok

#

Thanks!

gleaming pawn
dapper chasm
#

I think what I love most about it is knowing other rogues will refuse to run it

#

Ego and all that

potent pivot
#

a lot of ppl run it tho

#

i think that will also increase with the other pvp talent removals

gleaming pawn
#

Yeah for sure

potent pivot
#

now we just need a WA to auto tricks the other dps in the lobby

#

like we have for tanks in pve kek

dapper chasm
#

Back in my day it was a standard move

#

And it made rogues better at PvP - it forced you to pay attention to your teammate's CDs

gleaming pawn
potent pivot
#

yeah there's def ways to do it

dapper chasm
gleaming pawn
#

Because you can say to sort healers first, yourself last, etc

potent pivot
#

the weakaura just makes it super simple

dapper chasm
#

Weakaura?

potent pivot
#

ye

dapper chasm
#

Well, don't be coy

potent pivot
#

make this work on dps instead of tank zanaken

dapper chasm
#

That does not sound hard at all

gleaming pawn
#

It shouldnโ€™t be, and I have faith in you

#

And then you can upload it and be famous

dapper chasm
#

Mate, I've uploaded way better stuff to here to ZERO applause

gleaming pawn
#

No no, upload it to WAGO

dapper chasm
#

I stand by my energy bar being the sexiest

#

Plus my vanisher icon is more relevant than ever

potent pivot
#

uploading to wago is the way

dapper chasm
#

With the ability to show when bleeds are up, magic dots etc

gleaming pawn
#

When is Sin getting better pvp talents

dapper chasm
#

And what was that earlier about group reordering? I thought only leader can do that?

gleaming pawn
#

Smoke bomb needs to be baseline again, and Hemotoxin should either be baseline or removed

hybrid palm
dapper chasm
#

You don't run addons?

gleaming pawn
hybrid palm
#

Nope

#

But will now

dapper chasm
#

That's bad, my man

#

Stuff like DR tracking is essential

gleaming pawn
#

Framesort addon letโ€™s you make yourself always be first or last, can make tanks and healers sort special as well these days

hybrid palm
#

I climbed duelist without it ๐Ÿ˜„

gleaming pawn
#

Framesort

dapper chasm
#

This already does everything you might want the weakaura to do

hybrid palm
#

Tricks talent means losing black jack though

dapper chasm
#

Blackjack is trash imo

#

The only good use case is you stun into blind into sap the healer

#

Shuffle will not allow that

#

Sap on opener is usually followed straight away with a stun

hybrid palm
#

I throw airborne blind on full team ๐Ÿ˜„

dapper chasm
#

My man described every line of code

#

Just edit these 2 lines and go

potent pivot
#

Iโ€™m still terrible at making WAs

dapper chasm
#

My God, whoever coded this was like the messiah of documentation

dapper chasm
#

And daddy is there holding your hand

#

I prefer the framesort addon myself

#

Jesus, this framesort addon is strong

#

Auto-targeting healers/dps etc

gleaming pawn
#

Aye, itโ€™s come a long way from when I used it to always force my healer alt to be at the bottom

dapper chasm
#

I can make some funky-ass macros with this

#

Like, never needing to focus healer at round start

#

Just have "Do on healer, unless focus exists, then do on focus"

#

I guess it's kinda pointless as I have focus123 and tar123, but still

#

For TotT it's certainly useful

#

Wait, it's even better, as it will auto-target other-dps in BGs too

#

That was essentially the weakness of Tricks

hybrid palm
#

I feel blizzard should delete pvp addons more than stuff like duel n veil

dapper chasm
#

Why?

hybrid palm
#

Ability to track enemy stuff is not pvp

gleaming pawn
#

They cannot delete addons in just pvp, so it will never happen

dapper chasm
#

Base UI does track all buffs/debuffs

hybrid palm
#

Does dota allow you track enemy cd ? Or does cs allow you to see enemy weapon

dapper chasm
#

The only thing that addons give is DR tracking, and even then, we used to use the stopwatch macros

potent pivot
#

You can just track them with your brain

#

Itโ€™s not that much different

dapper chasm
#

No, you can literally use macros and stopwatches

gleaming pawn
#

I do agree that it used to be a skill expression seeing CDs being used and reacting accordingly. And now most just have a WA scream at them when the damage is coming

potent pivot
#

Just takes some brain power off of it to be used elsewhere if you have addons

hybrid palm
#

Ya but these addons from what I see give icons n flashes on screen, giving absolute visual cues

gleaming pawn
#

But youโ€™ve just gotta evolve with the times, because they arenโ€™t going to get rid of addons

dapper chasm
#

Maybe I'm thinking more about my own UI - I don't do much tracking

potent pivot
#

They will never remove them

dapper chasm
#

It's mostly just visual polish to the blizz ui

potent pivot
#

They even allow them in tournaments now

hybrid palm
#

That's not pvp :D, lmao can literally see when icy veins is popped

potent pivot
#

You can see that without addons

dapper chasm
#

Yeah, I don't track that beyond the buffs/debuffs next to target frame

hybrid palm
#

How?

potent pivot
#

Their buffs

dapper chasm
#

That's how I see it

hybrid palm
#

Ya but in the middle of fight how does one inspect them

dapper chasm
#

Visually?

#

I look next to their unit frame

potent pivot
#

When you target them or focus them they are under their frames

dapper chasm
#

And see the buff

hybrid palm
#

In base UI ?

potent pivot
#

Yes

dapper chasm
#

This guy can't be serious

hybrid palm
#

Never seen it

dapper chasm
#

How do you think people track it?

hybrid palm
#

With addon? I dunno

dapper chasm
#

Guesswork or addons?

gleaming pawn
#

Admittedly the absolutely stock base UI is trash for buff tracking

hybrid palm
#

I never know what ppl are doing in pvp

#

I'm blind in that sense

gleaming pawn
#

Itโ€™s not impossible, but it leaves much to be desired

dapper chasm
#

Mate, you gotta start looking at their buffs

#

Increase the size on edit

hybrid palm
#

How to look ??

dapper chasm
#

Visually

hybrid palm
#

I use base game

dapper chasm
#

Yeah, it's there

hybrid palm
#

Visually what ๐Ÿ˜„

potent pivot
#

โ€ฆโ€ฆ.

#

Youโ€™ve gotta be trolling or

dapper chasm
#

I will repeat, the ONLY THING that the addons are giving is DR tracking

hybrid palm
#

No I'm not

#

Genuinely asking

potent pivot
#

Target someone and look under your target frame

dapper chasm
#

The rest is just making shit pretty

potent pivot
#

You can see all their buffs/debuffs

hybrid palm
#

Under the target frame I'll see umpteen things

potent pivot
#

Yes

hybrid palm
#

How do you check for a deathmark ?

high summit
#

Hi, sorry to barge in with stupid questions. Conquest will reset on season start right, how about bloody tokens n honor?

potent pivot
#

On your own debuffs

#

At the top right of the screen, unless you moved them elsewhere

hybrid palm
#

Not moved, I use base ui

potent pivot
#

You know where to look at your own buffs and debuffs?

hybrid palm
#

Yes I know debuffs

potent pivot
#

Thatโ€™s where Deathmark on you would be

high summit
hybrid palm
#

I see a bunch of garottes etc, but I have to search for deathmark in that list ?

dapper chasm
hybrid palm
#

Right next to the map

dapper chasm
#

Ok, so I think I see the issue, you can't notice individual icons from the group they're in?

hybrid palm
#

I see garrotte bone spike , n get a feel for incoming damage n react

#

N for mages I don't have time to click on his icon n figure out if he is in veins

#

Especially if he is not my target

#

Or focus

dapper chasm
#

Ok, in that case you want what?

severe helm
#

There's far too many junk buffs

#

If add-ons didn't make it easier to see important info then no one would be using them

#

But they do

potent pivot
#

You can see all of this shit without addons, addons just make it more apparent

severe helm
#

So people do

dapper chasm
#

Base blizzard UI allows hiding most junk buffs

severe helm
#

I could also stream you a series of binary that defines all the abilities

#

Technically it's all the same info

#

But presentation matters

hybrid palm
#

So let's say I'm just training healer n mage pops icy veins, how will I know ?

#

With base ui

dapper chasm
#

By focusing mage

severe helm
#

You wont unless you have them on focus

hybrid palm
#

So before round have to focus ?

dapper chasm
#

You should be swapping target and focus with binds

#

No, with binds

#

Target 1/2/3 and focus 1/2/3

#

I use XCV and ctrl-XCV

severe helm
#

yeah but you dont spam swap focus between the two arena targets you arent on

dapper chasm
#

So say healer is V, I press ctrl-X as I swap

hybrid palm
#

As in, you can focus all three ?

severe helm
#

to check for their offensive usage

#

thats insanely stupid

severe helm
#

can only focus one at a time

dapper chasm
#

But do swap focus if targeting your focus

stoic spruce
#

Sub rmp is gods gift to this game prayge

chrome schooner
#

Not every enemy is doing something super dangerous 100% of the time

severe helm
#

I honestly play with healer as focus always

chrome schooner
#

There's no need to have hyper awareness and frame visual on everyone all the time to play

hybrid palm
#

Ok, so what's this focus play then

severe helm
#

dont do what hes saying

#

zukz

#

use addons

#

like everyone else

#

theres a reason its the norm

#

its cuz its better and less effort for the same/more info

dapper chasm
severe helm
#

I use arena 1 2 3 dismantle

hybrid palm
#

Addons will give all info without focus ?

dapper chasm
#

I should add I use a 4 button mouse

severe helm
#

I just have arena 1 2 3 for all cc

severe helm
potent pivot
# severe helm use addons

Heโ€™s speaking from a stand point of not wanting to use addons and that they should be removed from the gameโ€ฆ

hybrid palm
#

I see

#

Ya

hybrid palm
#

But I didn't know it's literally that information

dapper chasm
#

Well, I don't wana use demon hunters and think they should be removed from the game

severe helm
#

I mean theres some info that you cant get

#

unless youre reading hte combat log

#

like I have a wa that triggers an audio effect when a hunter throws his trap

#

before it even lands

#

I know its coming

#

and can lifegrip my healer

#

you cant do that without an addon

dapper chasm
#

Ewww

severe helm
#

unless youre staring at the hunter 24/7 and looking at his animation

#

theres lots of abilities that dont have buffs

#

for example sec tech

#

I have audio queue for when thats pressed

#

so I know ima bout to get hit for 3 fucking million

dapper chasm
#

The only audio weakaura I use is a satisfying ting-ting-ting on my combo points and the old-school crit sound on my crits

hybrid palm
#

For example, I've noticed, many times I use blades 2nd time enemy team always ready with cc, n I end up hitting barely 4-5 seconds with blades, how was that possible

severe helm
#

yeah its a weak aura

hybrid palm
#

Which one exactly

severe helm
#

theres hundreds

#

you can make one yourself

#

could also be big debuffs

#

or gladius

#

they all track this

dapper chasm
#

But there is a flipside to that - I notice that sometimes I eat CD CCs for popping something when it would have done very little

severe helm
#

could just be nameplate addon

dapper chasm
#

It's still important to have awareness

severe helm
#

Yeah if you notice people have this behavior you can bait their responses

dapper chasm
#

It's why I love simple moves like shiv - they can end a man's career in such a simple way

hybrid palm
#

But coming back to my main gripe, game better without enemy tracking

ionic orbit
#

What are the best weapons right now for sub rogues and how do you get them?

hybrid palm
#

I mean I will do adapt to meta, but tracking enemy is not pvp

dapper chasm
#

It literally is

severe helm
#

its different

#

not better

#

like saying game would be better without arena 1 2 3 macros

#

jsut cuz you arent the one using them

#

doesnt make it better without them

potent pivot
dapper chasm
severe helm
#

whether its done by staring at shitty default UI buffs

#

or via weak auras

#

its the same game

#

and the same players will be good

hybrid palm
dapper chasm
#

I don't really bother tracking CDs

gleaming pawn
#

โ€ฆ.

severe helm
#

lolol

chrome schooner
#

"knowing and being aware of what the enemy player can do is not player versus player"

dapper chasm
#

I can headcount what I need to based on my own CDs

hidden moth
#

i dont need to watch their cds to know WARRIOR IS GLOWING BIG AND RED HE USED AVATAR

gleaming pawn
#

Knowing what your enemy used and reacting to it is literally the basest form of pvp
