Nah sometimes trufigcd just does weird shit like that
nvm
It was probably because of Replicating Shadows
its bc he was using it while being glared
Or that
is a macro for blades being use blades symbol and dance a good idea?
keep the others on seperate binds etc
doesn't TrufiCD list the spell icon the number of CP used to cast it?
ie he sent a 3 CP Rupture
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
also assume i use flag into cheap shadow strike tech cheap evis cheap evis?
there is a short on nahj's YT
that legit goes over openers

Palumor also usually has basic burst rotation videos
you just replace the sepsis with a shadowstrike or something
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
whats sepsis
lol
yeah nvm im just gonna stick with ass
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
You just have to memorize the one burst rotation
You do almost the exact same thing every time
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
but in the opener vid nahj didnt send all at once
he did like 1-2 then a gcd then the other 3
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
fair
whatever your heart desires
iโm probably gonna play whatever is broken
(mm hunter)
That's WAY too broken Sir!
I want to try arms before nerf ๐
Anyone good with TEEA DR tracker
I cannot get the anchor point for it to re-orient to the otherside of nameplate
nope I don't use it, but I will agree with Zanaken before he can weigh in that I hate your UI ๐
ngl use diminish imo
p easy to configure
but im sure teaa can do it im just not experienced in it
are you using this Diminish? It hasn't been updated since 10/31/24 but it's the only one even remotely recently updated
Where do you start this quest so you can buy the conquest points weapons?
you dont have ot pick up the quest
itll just auto complete for you
once you get 2500
they should put that next to the item instead of do the quest
yeah thats the one I use
What was r1 cutoff for outlaw in shuffle last season?
You remember?
3010 I think
i had it but it has issues too
did they fix the deathstalker combat bug?
im surprised sub rogues playing the supercharged cp talents now
it doesnt do anything when we have shadowblades up during our burst right?
Are those the base unit frames?! Anyway, it's under group settings under Target. Each group has a subsection, but you don't want that. Click the target group and check the first tab
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)
is there a reason to do the campaign as a pvper
Not at all, but you get to kill a whole bunch of players in the new zone!
Supercharged Combo Points work differently now compared to Shadowlands
in Shadowlands, you had to reach the exact combo point the Supercharge Combo Point was on to get the 7 Combo Point spent effect
ahhh i see
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
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?
After the recent post what you guys think is best tuned sub ou ass?
ass by far
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
everytime shadow technique procs it stores 1cp, it is purple color i think in blizz ui
or in any rogue wa ๐ it shows as extra cp
By using my badass weak aura
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
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 ?
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
im currently perma energy starved on outlaw is that normally?
Outlaw only should feel energy starved when you have adr down
And usually adr uptime is a function of how well you're playing
is it important i use dagger as offhand?
how do hunters use hunters mark on you while you are stealthed and they are in camo and 30yd away?
in wpvp
Just higher resolution on textures and different mapping uv unwraps they have been doing . Lots of combined noding into things. They are definitely busy in the teams they are doing a great job
very noticeable
feels like a diff game lol
also outlaw aoe feels so stupid and ST dmg too
Every expac ya
Remember the jump from SL to DF performance wise?
Yeah all 3 specializations look solid.
getting to undermine is fun
i like this so far
and it feels like in world pvp horde > alliance now?? i dont understand lol
Prob just shards
On Sargeras, ally own most of the time, so Im assuming its all region dependant
does honor reset tuesday too?
Have you looked at the rewards?
no idea they were diff lool
Yeah itโs basically just cosmetic stuff so look at the rewards and you can decide which one has a mount or toy youโd prefer
But also you pick again every week Iโm assuming so if you want to change your mind youโre only 1 week of rep grinding behind
is there any video or something up to date explaining sub openers
No reason to return until next week for honor gear right?
what are sin pvp talents?
unlocked undermine portal to dornogal. guess thats it for the week? lol
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
honor doesnt reset? def gonna farm it
ye it only ever resets on new expansion
undermine music gonna get on my nerves so fast lol
I'm not going to complain, but it's kind of wild that the Bloodstones are not season specific
i get so many 5 rolls now its so nice
i have the OST disabled since BFA
music went downhill after legion imo
this is carnival type music lol
a lot of ppl have been hyping the undermine music
that's ok, everyone is entitled to have bad takes every once in a while ๐
OOF
Yeah it's pretty good
Some people will hear Coltrane and say "wow this sounds like elevator music"
To each their own
how are we expecting outlaw to look next week?
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"
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
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"
It's harder than sub in pretty much every way imo
In what way do people consider sub harder?
Mechanically
Lololololol
And the men who choose it
Aite that's hilarious
Outlaw presses more buttons pre opener than sub even has in its rotation
I'm just saying what I hear, the zeitgeist of the community - don't attack the messenger
I think the only grounds for argument is how everyone knows what subs burst looks like so people are good at trading into that
i just wanted info on its current tuning as i haven't tested, but this is far better ๐ฟ
He's clearly biased
All say sub
I mean I say sub
But others have said trickster outlaw
So no I'm not biased here haha
But good guess
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
i think outlaw is only more difficult from an apm perspective
sub is more difficult on a macro level
And we all know how weird Starcraft boys are
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
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

THAT is not true
Hahahahahaha
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
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
Who let you back in the house?
idk man outlaw is a warrior with more cc
I hit my peak in WotLK/Cata - I was there, BOY
I was there when the laws were WRITTEN
i think that's a weird flex but tbd
if you don't know how to pre plan for your burst as sub you're gonna suck
Point and case ๐
Same as every setup spec
Outlaw included
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJUxiUxDyWk Average sub player planning
Just like the title says, this is my favorite part of Black Dynamite. Be sure you check out this movie! Definitely a great shout-out to the blaxploitation of the 70's. This movie is uber funny. www.blackdynamite.com.
imo the only spec in the game that is close to as difficult as sub in pvp is feral
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
thats only when rmp is meta
Which is keeping pressure in between goes

Cuz that's all the sub players can comprehend
Notice how the sub Chad stated his peace and sits back while the Outlaw child is posting over and over in single lines
i would like to see you push on sub mewo
Good subs make it work outside of that meta
and say the same stuff
Aite bet
What rank do I need to get to on sub
Til I can shit talk it and you won't argue lol
2.4k is standard "decent rank"
Oh ez lol
im so glad I asked this question i got 20 mins of entertainment from it
I didn't say it was hard, I said it was decent
likely more
Wait, are you USA or EU?
im invested in the mewo sub arc now
Should be fun ๐
2.4k is about 3k/3.1k in USA

weren't the only r1 subs last season on NA?
Well, it's just a fact different regions have different rating caps for decency
i feel like na/eu thing has been disproven so many times
It has been
it definitely has
Sub players go out and get laid for seasons at a time
That's why it's called mating season
for seasons at a time?
Bad players usually tell themselves otherwise to make them feel better about being hard stuck 2k on eu
xeek got r1 on both regions last season
"I'd be r1 if I was NA"
Daddy horny
if it lasts more than 4 hours you need to call your doctor brother
i think meep may have as well
To be fair I was talking recently about taking a break and coming back to get 2k in 5 games
But it is a FACT that EU>USA for skill/intellemectuality
r1 shuffle sub cut off was higher in NA than EU ๐
That actually proves my point
i just think this is a bit wrong to say
I did hear some players went to USA recently from EU
from a perpective of most players
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
Dark Souls vs Mariokart
i honestly think it might be better to say it takes different skills than it does "more or less" skills
non trolling
that being said, i don't support the statement sub is harder than outlaw
zanaken is misreading that to trollz
Few do outside of sub rogues
In both pve and pvp outlaw is pretty well known to have he hardest rotation
i think outlaw and arcane have the 2 hardest rotations in the game
but i haven't actually played EVERY spec
Arcanes has changed so much though
but the high apm/rotation of outlaw comes easily to me
It's gotten easier
yeah i believe that
But arcane is def hard
Mage as a whole is a hard class
My man, this is #pvp and you're talking about rotations - I think this speaks volumes more than any evidence ever could
Yeah cuz sub players don't have rotations lol
my bad
Gottem
No, every moment is unique and demanding
sub rotation is build spend build spend, it's easy to forget rotations exist i get it
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"
basically every rotation in the game boils down to build spend lol
Sub has to compete with weak aura air horn. Everyone just knows to peel dance insta. In shuffle itโs pretty hard for a newer rogue.
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?
yes
and then you woke up
this is a very interesting and important discussion I think u guys should keep at it until we get to the bottom of this
l0l
agreed
The fuck you doing talking to my wife?
idk man i was in the neighborhood /shrug
i just think these guys don't know how to have a discussion with zanaken
The only bottoms here are sub rogues mains
it's hilarious though yes
This isn't a discussion
This is education
i'm fully trolling at this point i also wouldn't call it a genuine discussion lmao
If this is what you think education is then that explains a lot
I'm a smart guy, I've been to over 9 schools
prob pikaboo doing viewer 2s
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
he gets it
Someone got slapped by sub
Sub wins more games that it doesn't deserve to more than almost any other
Case in point
yeah you're fried
To beat a sub rogue you have to play way better than them
Cookin
You have to trade perfectly
But you didn't?
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
shuffle has fried your brain my guy
i mean
I was into R/M/D myself
toooooo be fair i've watched the same happen with splay, with cupid, with feral sp, and with tons of other comps as well
duel removal will weed out some of the bad sub players
yep, the same shit hasn't happened with 3 different outlaw comps in the past few years. nope, never happened.
Rmd plays so different from sub rmp
there was a point in df where cupid could just permanently out rotate rmp even when overlapping constantly
Sub rmp isnt even remotely the same comp as any other rmX non sub variants
I see myself as a support+ class
A conductor
A masterbaiter
Yeah cuz outlaw 100-0s you in a 6 second stun yep
this part i believe


i think he meant the constantly overlapping defensives and still winning like you were saying for sub rmp
All those 300k between the eyes
yep
Outlaw can't run
The hell is between the eyes?
Between goes
Oof
a nose, bozo
Ahh
Outlaw also can't use vanish defensively without losing a ton of pressure
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?

last ssn AFAIK you played to 10% then went crit
Fucking weirdos
tbh, hitting thresholds is more interesting than just max stacking vers mastery on every piece and crafting everything you can't with 0 thought
feels more classic-y, "you need blank % hit, then go into this"
That explains a lot honestly
So you finally agree?
I miss shadowlands
Infinite CDs and just press glowy button
but excellent content to watch nonetheless
So you agree?
Red buff killing spree was pretty nuts too
i think evasion and cloak should get added back to restless blades baseline
also fdk should be immune to cc during pillar of frost like monk is during conduit, only fair
But rogue has enough defensive even with vanish being an offensive button
LOL
not for cloak (also i was trolling, i don't think that whatsoever, i actually think CDR on defensives is just unhealthy game design in general)
yep same for sub during flag

I'm mostly happy with sub, but I do wish healthpools were lower
wings should give auto bubble with no forb
trueing !!
real, kinda wild how anything with a disarm completely counters the spec
okay unironically
really just needs disarm protection
i think shaman might be the hard counter to current fdk
God I wish disarm stopped fdk damage
That'd be nice
because when i watched kalv get shockwaved during pillar
it knocked him far enough that the shaman was out of the circle
What on earth is fdk?
Thunderstormed?
and you are almost rooted on fdk so he couldn't get back in
yeah
oh i agree
but it was pretty insane, killed the whole go
But yeah fdk is so unfun to play against
Is fdk a combat thing?
Lolol
Lol this guy doesn't know priest has thunderstorm
mewo do you have a maghar orc for pve or u just use ur nelf or pvp rogue
Nelf always for me
can tell he hasn't played since cata
I hear dwarf is bis though still
Still roflol'd my way to 2k
That's sub power
I had macros from 2009
And I'm kinda getting used to the dragons/edgy-boys/monks
edgy boys?
ah
yeah
i just wasn't sure, when i think "edgy boys" i think venthyr rogues tbh so
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
3 new classes?
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
im starting to think this guy actually plays sub rogue
This is your best take of the night ngl
of course sub is as good as it is when its been taking everything from Outlaw since SL
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
I did say broken clocks are right TWICE a day
Frankly, I'm glad we lost Shadowy Duel - it will help... clarify things
In df I did this when ret was op
Easiest 3k of my life
No joke
Holy fuck that spec is boosted
this past season was the first time i played more than 1 alt seriously
and the difference is definitely staggering
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
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
Ret just felt like there was a whole second set of healer CDs in the lobby
Sanc sac loh bop wogs
Freedom
felt
as a 6'3 dude i get discrimination for being so tall
its not all lollipops and rainbows
feel like you can kinda play whatever for 2s but KB or envenom build might go hard
ive actually had better luck in 2s with the AoE build than the KB build
havent tried envenom
idk how
just try to supercharge your darkest night env
Supersharter
With the talent from death stalker to make envenom hit 18% harder as well
Dude yeah those hit for like 3 mil
gonna hit even harder this season too
man, it got weird in here tonight
rogue on rogue violence 
Outlaw and Sub dick measuring and saying who has it harder to play well, while Sin is just quietly sitting in the corner trying not to cry
idk why they keep buffing sin aoe
I fucking hate it
Sin's damage can be good for Rogue. But it takes so much damage it's dumb
true
isnt st like super bad?
why did they remove pvp boxes already? thats dumb
yo guys im coming back to outlaw, are the rumors right we are s tier?
Probably just gonna remain a rumors till the season starts.
Is there an ideal way to gear? Like things you should spend conquest on first?
mainstat pieces first
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.
no such thing as a bad sub just a bad sub player
We have any clue about state of specs? Wondering if I should go for main stat Sub or Out.
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
Nahj on stream said he thinks assa is top spec
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 โhaving more cc than subโ
Pretty much, of all the specs, sin didn't lose damage this patch and the feint change is an actual defensive boost.
Ty for information! @hidden moth assa is the spec I found hardest. But playing and learning is the motto.
Did the duel END with you having all your CDs and full health?
#almosthaiku
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.
Yes cause I ran away. ๐
That's some Art of War wisdom right there
Of course, the ultimate victory is uninstalling
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
"One-shot rotation" - now we're doing a single hand clapping
This discord is going all philosophical on me
Use stuns and cooldowns and press eviscerate in between
ye I was looking for something more specific, I understand what needs to happen

Coaching:
I do coaching on-stream usu...
It's 5 minutes long.
It's also still accurate
Meanwhile I canโt learn sub

DW it's pretty shit anyway
I def think sin was easiest of the 3 to learn
3 dots up, big cd, kidney shot + shiv + smokebomb, envenom spam = win
I think the same way however, it is not the first time I have heard assa was the most difficult for others though.
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.
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
so outlaw is the best in very high CR?
Nah
I think heโs trying to say something about their difficulty but that can be subjective
As what spec
combat
You should be going for high uptime and extending ADR with vanish etc
Can def do more than 300k
Most of the time yeah
how does vanish extend adr?
Iโd say sub is the highest skill ceiling spec
Through those talents youโve got that you should definitely read all of
xd
Yeah I agree
take a look at the #outlaw-faq channel
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
ye that's a big one
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
feels a lot better already thansk guys
Is the new honor gear going to be better than the current epics?
yes
Bah
Is the cap gonna do it?
wdym
like will cap buy full set?
a full honor set should be 10.5k honor
I think you only need like 11000
yeah its p cheap
everyone is effectively instantly full geared haha
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
they reset
Well, fuck me
i've been spending all of mine and using them on the catalyst for the LFR recolor of the set

Can't improve on perfection
there's some specific stuff i want to go back and farm
But why?
like some castle nathria stuff is sick
But will you use it?
yeah
More than the farm itself took?
Nah, I dig it, but I got 14 transmogs
since you unlock all items for all classes now
yes zanaken, some of us play multiple classes
My mage and priest haven't been touched in 15 years
And I'm just sitting on those tokens for free level ups
You must be having 10x the fun to me then
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

just replace sepsis with shadowstrike
ty
Survivability got dumpstered after removal cloak veil talent
The new feint talent is nice as fuck tho
@cyan gate can't use the server as LFG
I would trade it for veil cloak
Veil cloak should never made it live
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
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
6 sec with cloaked in shadows. 6sec is more than enough for ur healer to pop u back
Iโm so undecided. If you had to choose a ebg spec which would you choose?
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?
Veil literally forced reapplication by enemy , even if you didn't vanish
Sure, but it DID feel cheesy vs Ass/Feral and stuff
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
Then what is bubble ?
I was talking about you saying you would pop out after 3 secs of vanish
A core class move, not a PvP talent?
Usually do, just laying out the benefits
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
I actually prefer feeling like a glass cannon rather than the diamond cannon I came back to
Zanaken, roll Assa so you can feel more glass than canon
I hear a lot about outlaw for rb/blitz but sin/sub ranked way above them on murloc meta. Is that ranking misleading?
Cannon first - glass is the flavour
i wouldn't worry about whats the highest rating man, just play the spec you want to play
rogue as a whole is one of the best bg classes in the game
Yeah. I like them all. Just wanna see where to spend my honor first lol
Honestly I was just looking at that
Outlaw felt funny in pve but Iโve never tried it in pvp. Might try it tonight and see
With veiled cloak gone it's more profitable to play cheat death , correct ?
The two talents stack ?
yes
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!
Does trickster keep tricks perma buffed ?
Thatโs why Trill always plays Tricks during the AWC. Always buffing the boomie or whatever Sam is playing
I think what I love most about it is knowing other rogues will refuse to run it
Ego and all that
a lot of ppl run it tho
i think that will also increase with the other pvp talent removals
Yeah for sure
now we just need a WA to auto tricks the other dps in the lobby
like we have for tanks in pve kek
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
You can kinda do that already with framesort I believe
yeah there's def ways to do it
Tell me more
Because you can say to sort healers first, yourself last, etc
the weakaura just makes it super simple
Weakaura?
ye
Well, don't be coy
make this work on dps instead of tank zanaken

That does not sound hard at all
It shouldnโt be, and I have faith in you
And then you can upload it and be famous
Mate, I've uploaded way better stuff to here to ZERO applause
No no, upload it to WAGO
I stand by my energy bar being the sexiest
Plus my vanisher icon is more relevant than ever
uploading to wago is the way
With the ability to show when bleeds are up, magic dots etc
When is Sin getting better pvp talents
And what was that earlier about group reordering? I thought only leader can do that?
Smoke bomb needs to be baseline again, and Hemotoxin should either be baseline or removed
I don't even run pvp weak auras, another reason veil removal bad
You don't run addons?
Group ordering for targeting like @party1 is client side, so controlable by addon
Framesort addon letโs you make yourself always be first or last, can make tanks and healers sort special as well these days
I climbed duelist without it ๐
That's great! What addon?
Framesort
This already does everything you might want the weakaura to do
Tricks talent means losing black jack though
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
I throw airborne blind on full team ๐
This weakaura has amazing documentation - you should be able to easily make the changes you want yourself
My man described every line of code
Just edit these 2 lines and go
Iโm still terrible at making WAs
My God, whoever coded this was like the messiah of documentation
Start with this, this is like a baby project
And daddy is there holding your hand
I prefer the framesort addon myself
Jesus, this framesort addon is strong
Auto-targeting healers/dps etc
Aye, itโs come a long way from when I used it to always force my healer alt to be at the bottom
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
I feel blizzard should delete pvp addons more than stuff like duel n veil
Why?
Ability to track enemy stuff is not pvp
They cannot delete addons in just pvp, so it will never happen
What?
Base UI does track all buffs/debuffs
Does dota allow you track enemy cd ? Or does cs allow you to see enemy weapon
The only thing that addons give is DR tracking, and even then, we used to use the stopwatch macros
No, you can literally use macros and stopwatches
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
Just takes some brain power off of it to be used elsewhere if you have addons
Ya but these addons from what I see give icons n flashes on screen, giving absolute visual cues
But youโve just gotta evolve with the times, because they arenโt going to get rid of addons
Maybe I'm thinking more about my own UI - I don't do much tracking
They will never remove them
It's mostly just visual polish to the blizz ui
They even allow them in tournaments now
That's not pvp :D, lmao can literally see when icy veins is popped
You can see that without addons
Yeah, I don't track that beyond the buffs/debuffs next to target frame
How?
Their buffs
That's how I see it
Ya but in the middle of fight how does one inspect them
When you target them or focus them they are under their frames
And see the buff
In base UI ?
Yes
This guy can't be serious
Never seen it
How do you think people track it?
With addon? I dunno
Guesswork or addons?
Admittedly the absolutely stock base UI is trash for buff tracking
Itโs not impossible, but it leaves much to be desired
How to look ??
Visually
I use base game
Yeah, it's there
Visually what ๐
I will repeat, the ONLY THING that the addons are giving is DR tracking
Target someone and look under your target frame
The rest is just making shit pretty
You can see all their buffs/debuffs
Under the target frame I'll see umpteen things
Yes
How do you check for a deathmark ?
Hi, sorry to barge in with stupid questions. Conquest will reset on season start right, how about bloody tokens n honor?
On your own debuffs
At the top right of the screen, unless you moved them elsewhere
Only honor wonโt reset
Not moved, I use base ui
You know where to look at your own buffs and debuffs?
Yes I know debuffs
Thatโs where Deathmark on you would be
So then i can full send all BT and Conquest on my newly dinged toon?
Yeah they reset
I see a bunch of garottes etc, but I have to search for deathmark in that list ?
You realise every box has its own picture?
Right next to the map
Ok, so I think I see the issue, you can't notice individual icons from the group they're in?
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
Ok, in that case you want what?
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
You can see all of this shit without addons, addons just make it more apparent
So people do
Base blizzard UI allows hiding most junk buffs
I could also stream you a series of binary that defines all the abilities
Technically it's all the same info
But presentation matters
So let's say I'm just training healer n mage pops icy veins, how will I know ?
With base ui
By focusing mage
You wont unless you have them on focus
So before round have to focus ?
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
yeah but you dont spam swap focus between the two arena targets you arent on
So say healer is V, I press ctrl-X as I swap
As in, you can focus all three ?
But do swap focus if targeting your focus
Sub rmp is gods gift to this game 
Not every enemy is doing something super dangerous 100% of the time
I honestly play with healer as focus always
There's no need to have hyper awareness and frame visual on everyone all the time to play
Ok, so what's this focus play then
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
I use focus dismantle and focus shiv a fair bit
I use arena 1 2 3 dismantle
Addons will give all info without focus ?
I should add I use a 4 button mouse
I just have arena 1 2 3 for all cc
yes
Heโs speaking from a stand point of not wanting to use addons and that they should be removed from the gameโฆ
Ya
ah
for the purpose of what?
But I didn't know it's literally that information
Well, I don't wana use demon hunters and think they should be removed from the game
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
Ewww
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
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
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
yeah its a weak aura
Which one exactly
theres hundreds
you can make one yourself
could also be big debuffs
or gladius
they all track this
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
could just be nameplate addon
It's still important to have awareness
Yeah if you notice people have this behavior you can bait their responses
It's why I love simple moves like shiv - they can end a man's career in such a simple way
But coming back to my main gripe, game better without enemy tracking
What are the best weapons right now for sub rogues and how do you get them?
I mean I will do adapt to meta, but tracking enemy is not pvp
not really
It literally is
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
You will just replace them after the weekly reset. Wouldnโt bother right now
What is PvP to you?
tracking enemy is all of pvp
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
I don't know, but surely not knowing enemy cds ๐
I don't really bother tracking CDs
โฆ.
lolol
"knowing and being aware of what the enemy player can do is not player versus player"
I can headcount what I need to based on my own CDs
i dont need to watch their cds to know WARRIOR IS GLOWING BIG AND RED HE USED AVATAR
Knowing what your enemy used and reacting to it is literally the basest form of pvp
