i'm about to spam a couple regular 8s
just to fill out the vault slots more
idfk what ima do after
got 4 keys, there's 3 bountifuls up as well
gonna try a reg 9 for the hell of it
Could look for normal raid slots
i've got the grenade curio as well btw 
i'm still a turbo rat i think

got my first 3m aimed shot crit on a mage 
round lasted 15seconds
btw i think theres new curio tech
theres a ez dino kit one that spawns a mecha raptor
apparantly you can spawn multiple of those and it just stomps the entire delve for you
yeah i prolly just need more gear before i can do those ngl
does brann level matter
for his hp n shit
ye i'm more worried about living ngl
he's doing about 9% of my dmg give or take, he's just dying a good bit
barely lived a 9, for a battle pet 
the dude does die alot aye
yeh i had to skip a pack of elites
boss took every cd to live 
i got the dino curio tho
Is there a list of working macros anywhere? (Focus/step/ shit like that)
Uncapped outlaw!
sniped for 30K
u w0t
why are you a former outlaw fan
not current outlaw fan
Crackshot dominance
Nothing new
I was tired of it before but now I'm tired tired
I wish crackshot was a buff rather than tied to subterfuge
my luck terrible this evening. 5 blitz losses in a row wcyd
on it!
RAHHHHHH
6 in a row, booyah
true
undermine final boss on normal is too ez lol
The boss right before him is harder
that one we one shot in an LFG too lol
Anyone know what the focusing lens does if you don't have any gems yet?
nothing. get a gem socketed
gotta be a stat gem
Cheers
Anyone have a good addon or WA option to track DR on enemy nameplates?
there's a couple but they've all basically not been updated since like DF
much better off using Gladius
Anyone has a weakaura to remind me to equip my pvp gear when i'm in a pvp instance (bgs/arena)? Happens too often...
search it on wago
generally you can find whatever you're looking for

i didn't either ngl
could easily fashion a m+ gear WA for pvp though
just gotta change the load conditions
Im so bad. Stuck at 1.4k :((
How does it work. I play 3-3 SS and 0 rating, I play 2-4 and loose 71 points. I play 4-2 and get 35 points?
depends on your MMR vs your CR
like if the lobby's MMR is lower than your CR and you 3-3 you won't gain
If I play more 4-2 or 3-3 it might even out and give me less points for loosing and more points for winning?
you should always gain some for 4-2 and up
but it also just depends on your MMR for like how much you lose/gain
if you go 2-4 in a lobby thats lower MMR you'll lose more etc
If you're coming from a losing streak you need to "win" two or more lobbies to get your mmr back up
Then your cr can catch up
My blitz mmr got annihilated last night, let’s see how today goes lol
finally got one
NGL I've been playing wow way too much this week
Unlocked all t4-t11, farmed 4 keys then 4 t11s and 4t8s
And that's just 1 toon

at least this is halfway usable
For alot of specs
haste is dogwater
The haste proc for some specs is good I think
yeah
its also 1.5min
so if it procs crit its decent on sub at least
629ilvl now
won't be caught up enough to spam keys til after rest
i could spend my conq on badge for pve but fml
game is yelling at me to play my hunter
I'm starting to understand why certain classes are so popular
When no one has a single clue how to play, the classes who's gameplan is "just attack anything nearby and do all CDs when they pop" will do well
Haven't had a Blind last the full duration in so many games now
Or they stun during the Sap
DURING THE SAP
BM pack leaders been fun as hell
healer left that lobby btw
Finally feels like I can just two button spam again and everything else just automatic
Quick Q, can I reach max conq and bloody points from pvp if I made an alt in 2nd or third week? Or do I lose some in compared if I farmed form the 1st week?
you don't lose anything
you just start a couple pieces behind others, but its not a big deal at all, other people play alts too
cap increases by 600 now

like how much they go up each week? idr bloody tokens
Sub dudes: What's your opening sequence? I'm wondering if I need to change mine. Currently doing:
Shadow blades/ symbols of death macro, cheap shot, shadow dance, flagellation, secret technique, shadowstrike, kidney shot, shadowstrike, eviscerate. Sometimes I'll place in a goremaws bite instead of one of the shadowstrikes.
Hmm what do to with 625 conquest next week…. Wait till week 3 😭

Didn't even know this was a thing
Here are some consumables I use in BGs that people might not know about
Try this video depending on what type of sub rogue you are, desthsralker or trickster. Your rotation is completely wrong.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to delay use of shadow dance and blades. Mind sharing your talent tree too?
Thank you for the directness. I'll take a look at that now
Yeah your fine. The benefit of sub is you only need like 9 seconds every 90 seconds to do damage
Who opens with dance?
Inb4 he posts one shot macro and gets sub nerfed 😆
The new sub changes are mid
I was only doing it for the damage increase right from the get go, but I'm excited to try these new shared rotations that are quite different from my own
@ionic orbit you can also do an opener where you shadow strike, rupture, gouge, flag, dance macro, CS > damage
Nahj and Kalvish have been messing with it because dots don't break gouge easily
As sub I'm very rarely going all in on the opener
Mostly it's about setting up the rest of the match (arena)
You can delay but ultimately it won't matter
In BGs, I usually open shadowstrike because of the step
Any good player is going to save their CDs for you to stop you
Haven't met any
Builds are going to change a little after this next reset when sub rogue changes hit
Yeah
At what mmr
Not sure, about 1700 atm?
Okay
Most times when you get a bit higher the moment you pop blades you're going to eat disarm, fear, stun, roots
Yeah, I know what peels are, dw
I watched Kalvish play this morning where he made contact with enemies 3 seconds of each blades
I get it, but can you not say that about literally ANYTHING?
Yeah, but what I'm saying is your plan to hold CDs kind of just delays you gaining cooldowns traded
So you put yourself behind.
Not at all
Alright.
Those CDs can be popped other ways that don't involve my big CDs
They could be popped to my teammate, or because of other pressure
The way you say it makes it sound impossible
Well in a normal arena match you should have between 2 and 4 times to use blades
I'm gonna try that rotation too. I can't imagine not having 2 vanishes though I use those all the time and the healing is nice
I dunno, man, sounds like doomtalk to me
It's my job to make sure I'm ahead on CDs
Literally my one job
You can substitute thistle tea for the vanish row
That's fine dude. I'm sure there's 2400 sub rogues in here that will tell you.
I'm not one though.
I am
Nope
who is S tier rn?
No one
so the game is balanced?
Perfectly.
Actually feels hella balanced rn
Yeah you know I can tell you you're lying right amigo?
With what?
Actually just got rid of thistle tea a day or 2 ago but now I feel like I never have energy lol
ohhh a fight
I'm just not happy with anything lol
nice i arrived in time
did he? F

Meanwhile I cant brake 1.4k
Its saddening being bad at pvp in this game when you want elite sets.
119 round / 56 won 1404 rating D:
its harder to play, but you gotta focus on getting more finishers with the Darkest Night buff as Deathstalker, it gives you an energy regen
I dont know man. PvP is such disheartening. Im playing my best, always trying to say tactics or kill targets and help out. I always keep loosing points.
how long have you been pvping?
always on the same class? or
well
I did boost a dk and got 1.8k in 2s pug S3 df for elite set tho 😄
if your only goal is elite sets, and you don't have fun just pvping to pvp, its usually best to wait until the last month of the season ngl
Yea i will do it. PvP in WoW aint worth it.
yeah i mean if you don't find it fun there's no reason to force it ya know
that or
BE A MAN
CARRY THE BOATS AND THE LOGS
GIT GUUUUUUDDDD
turn that fire in ur gut thats wrenching at ur sanity and use it as power to put the scrubs in the dirt
if you want to get better, the only way to do so is to put in the effort and keep going, etc
was that a motivational enough speech?
wow pvp is one of the hardest pvp games to learn
arguably one of the hardest games to learn in general
but once you start getting the hang of it, it can be quite fun/rewarding
Oh belive me iam self criticizing myself and trying to improve. And I kinda like that feeling when you missplay or make a misstake and figure it out instantly.
best things to do early on imo are watch your own recordings and study every spell in the game
Yea recording is the thing iam not doing. Thought about it. Maybe with new PC. This one is 7-8 years old i think.
look at details after every match and look at what people die to, what CC's were broken, how many interrupts landed
check out the details advanced death log plugin
i think i'm gonna start recommending this more often
shows you the actual spell descriptions and what CDs you used/could have used
nop
if the damage is respected properly its really nbd
i think im downloading this actually, seems really handy
will this fix the "bug" (interaction) where if you have an insane amount of tiny hits it will cap the showcase and only show the last .4 seconds for instance?
i've had many death logs where I can't actually see what it was i didn't respect bc i only get .4 seconds of data and i was like 10% at the .4 mark so it doesn't give much info lol
the only thing that matters tbh
"envenom crit for 4.8 mil dam"
whats mroe squish outlaw or ww
tough one
nah
if the outlaw is dialed in on keeping feint up and has it for every stun outlaw
i think at like, 1600 level of play, ww is far easier to be tanky
i just insta die on a swap bc monk 2 taps ,me
monk is insane rn
i was gonna roll dh but there's legit no reason to and monk was my main since SL/DF ssn1 so i just went back to it and absolutely farmed
brother
okay look ww is incredibly overtuned rn but touch of death is not LMAO
that's not how you look at that spell
only reason to roll DH is for mog and nope outta there
oh i'll be doing that, hit some 1800 shuffs later in ssn. did it in like 10 lobbies on like 4 alts last ssn just for some easy mogs
Ww monks need a proper nerf. That 20% less crit isn't gonna help. I'm 1 v 5 in bgs atm with how stupid their damage is.
tod ignores most (if not all) dmg reductions
it's honestly just a point of your healer pressing shield instead of swap when you're 6% (if they had it) and you feigning and scattering or stunning him (if you had it) to prevent the tod from going off. or a mobility trade before that point. would have to see the game, ofc
ight i feel better
killed a lock in black rook
he tp behind wall and i volly aimed shotted his ass through wall
there you go
Great find. Def a good tool man
I'm 1700 but still dont have my second catalyst charge, am i missing something? thought you got an extra at 1600?
check yo bags
lol found it, Thank you!!

If I add a socket to a season 2 honor item, do I also lose that socket when I recraft that honor item to season 2 conquest in a week or so?
or is it just lose a socket from season 1 to season 2
No, you keep it
Okay, thank you.
Only S1-S2 loses
That's what I needed to know
I got something special for you
The... last... fucking.... socket
I could cry
no
I didnt even know it was a bug at first
as long as it is a CRAFTED honor item, no. you keep the socket.
good morning
gm
If anyone is curious on the stats - this is BiS week one - Engi bracers AND helm both with mastery
Yeah, I'm talking crafted
yeah you're fine then
dang 103% mastery
That was after I whacked the PvP dummy
nvm-think i misunderstood context
I'm 90% mastery 28% vers atm
Can't wait to explode you in arena
I don't arena :)
I'm a casual BG hero haha
90% of my WoW playtime is chilling in epic BGs and listening to podcasts
:3
Because I'm an ADULT
lol
Now that I have honor to spend on things that aren't sockets - what's all this stuff about?
Any of it good? Is the knockback stuff enough to kick off mid in EotS?
Does Web Pull work on EFC?
dunno havent used em this xpack yet
one that I keep getting hit with is like thermonuclear
sends you fucking FLYING
but idk which it is
Some are targeted, some are not
My GUESS is the target ones are a bigger knockback
Ok, I tested
It's instant cast and AoE around the player
Shares cooldown with DPS pots, NOT healing pots
And I haven't tried in BGs, but Wowhead comments say it sends people to the moon
Oh yeah
that's the hydrogen bomb one
was at FW relief hut and someone used it
sent us OUT of the FW base entirely
I'm trying to get every BG/wPvP abuse item I can find
I used to be a purist "Only use what can be used in arena"
But I'm way past that shit now
I wana explode fools
I even got my magic banana
CCs bubble'd paladins
4 different battle flags to use in team fights
I heard you can get drums with bloodlust, so I'm looking that up next
And enough passive buffs to piss off anyone
Feral Hide Drums
They do NOTHING but take up screenspace
but they give you the same BL debuff and are less effective than player BLs
those are lvl 70 and under only
Oh mb
and hunter, and evoker iirc
yup
What daggers are those
Honor
Ah, good shout actually
I think I thought about it for like 20 secs
And something didn't add up as well there
You fool, you idiot
The fact I didn't do that allowed this conversation
Which helped EVERY READER
It was all on purpose

Pros and cons of using "cast sequence" macros?
The only con is anything that can reset the CD of the original ability
For instance, if you have a cast sequence of Shadowstep -> Ability X and your cast sequence is set to 24 seconds (the shadowstep cooldown) then as soon as you shadowstep the ability will change to ability X for 24 seconds
BUT if Shadewalker triggers during that time, then Shadowstep could come back earlier
You can get around this by having the reset=5 to have it only change to ability X for 5 seconds, then flip back to Shadowstep
BUT if that is the only bind for ability X, then you only have access to it for 5 seconds AFTER using shadowstep
If you DO have another bind for ability X, then the issue is why bother with the cast sequence in the first place
Good use cases are things like Shadowstep+Kick, where you can just double tap the button to ShS+Kick the target, or single tap to just shadowstep, but don't go all ADHD with your button presses and accidentally double tap it (like chasing someone and you're spamming step as you catch up)
Where do you go to craft?
Same place as last season 
that's what I crafted
I just restarted playing about a month ago so I don't know where anything is
I last played in 2011
Oh nice welcome back. It should be here ish
In arenas how often do you use cast sequence macros vs. standard keybinds?
Never
Cast sequence macros are a meme
Agreed
I use one for shadowstep-kidney on focus target
That's about it
Outside arena I used to use Sprint-Rocket Boots, but it was annoying
i hate using ones that has different cooldowns
cuz you have to pick only one that shows tooltip
i usually would put the other one on my action bar just to see the cooldown
ight what gear we goin for assa
the blue post was for tuesday reset right? not a hotfix?
tuesday
well there is 2
a hotfix for some fixes on pala and antoehr class with key/raid nerfs
and a patch for pvp specific thats tuesday
@potent pivot im thinkin blood token cloak belt, with tier chest shoulder and crafting either boots with gloves, or do i go boots with ring?
that or just say fuck it and send 2x ring and 1xneck
bc my thought is i need to get 2x gem socket but dont really wanna put a socket on sum in eed to replace so ideally no socketing bt gear or honor gear
actually think i just go boots+ ring and buy 1x heraldry next week for 2nd ring shouldnt put me too far behind on tier
Is it me reading it wrong, or afll lock set is broken as crazy
I know arms has gotten all the attention but is fury flying under the radar?
I feel like I’m getting bullied by fury warrs but I’m also not good so it could be a personal problem
@potent pivot im using your BBP import code right now
but i just ran a m+ and for the buffs/debuffs its showing like way more than just my dots above the nameplate and i cannot see my stuff
how do i configure the black/whitelist
I did this to keep all the sockets and gems
the 4set is expected to be insane yeah
kek
Excuse me!?!?!?
im ngl it took me a sec to follow what happened here. my guess is it's one of those "it was already in the air" like turtle. i KNOW cloak doesn't operate like that. but it probably was already in air and bugged?
it was a won game if I didn't die there. Cloak immunes shit already in the air. Always has. Game is just dumb
i know it does. that's my guess tho. sucks that it happened
@potent pivot Diagnostics?
is any specc atm the strongest or are assa and sub on an equal level in pvp?
assa good easy solo shuffle
Should have pre-die to avoid this chaos bolt 
I missed the last fex days : sub is on a one shot trend right now ? hence the gameplay adjustement of Tomorrow pvp hotfix ?
It’s meant for pvp lol
No such thing as a bad sub, just a bad sub player.
Reckon Sub better or worse come reset?
Better
more tunnel less bursty
Yea was my interpretion aswell. More sustain less 1 trick pony.
jsut got OS
shoud we always go MM and stick to it no matter what ?
I died during the first 4s of my opener on the other DPS
The trick is to hide all action bars and just show cooldowns
You don't really need to see things like backstab and they take up visual space
You kind of have to hit the ele here to avoid free casting. However right now if MM unsrealths you have to hit a defensive if they're in you
Sometimes it may be good to wait for them to open and just stun them on trueshot into disarm
Also you can kind of bait MM hunters who throw binding shot and purposefully stun yourself with feint up and DR yourself on stuns while mitigating burst.
Ok good advices thank you !
Is sub or sin better for shuffle at the mo?
I see im not the first one who came here to post some aimed shots 😄
and blizz are concerned about sub burst, lol
well
idk about that lol
a combo of burst + lack of sustain
but theres no way that MM doesnt recieve tuning soon
it does. 5%crit dam or something and slower aimed shot cast lol
And I am poorly geared. Almost no enchants, crafted rings or something like that. its just alt for fun
and damage
-5% crit chance -10% crit dmg
tbd if its enough
good lookin 
pretty sure is not. Slower aimed is good, but the dam is still insane
seems like after Tuesday sub plays more like outlaw 
You guys think human rogue will take the throne for best race instead of NE?
no, why would it
Patch Tuesday gives them a huge buff
no, it does not
it might get used by some healers, like hpal
idk racials mostly aren't worth worrying about if you aren't a top end player
60 sec cd to use trinket/racial instead of 90 sec cd(after one is used)
people hitting filter
..............
!warn @dark kernel bypassing filter is a no-no
yes, sometimes i even use meld before any vanishes if im trying to 100-0 
It's funny how WoW pvp is the absolute largest competitive cesspool in gaming existence, worse than LoL DotA or CS and we still have the fake community smiley activity lmao
if you think it's worse than those games idk what to tell you
Be the change you want to see
but we're not gonna have cess pool behavior in here i can say that much
I received an in real life mail death threat in TBC for arenas
Its worse
Or you can play a spec who's racial knocks you from stealth
So like
The polar opposite of nelf lol
(Undead)
i can't speak to classic, but i can def say none of that shit goes on here
i used to be undead rogue up until dF S4. miss the racial vs locks/ fear users / stealth cannibalize macro
By tBC I meant the year 2007 hombre
yeah its 2025
Let me get my Micky mouse gloves
Seeing someone from the DK discord in an arena gives me a rager ngl
nothing gives an excuse to be a dickhead
I like the new profile pic and name. Not having fun with outlaw so far this season??
Can we just go back to sinister, snd, evis rotation pls
But come on man, all the time?
They just can give crack shot the ambush treatment
I was tired before but now I'm tired tired
Where dispatch becomes BTE
Extendo blades
I had a few twos matches last night pulling a million dps with cleave
But outlaw games routinely hitting 70% damp is yeah
It's a damp spec fo sho
nothing feels better than getting back to back ace up your sleeve procs during crackshot windows into another sub window .People out here getting deleted into stun dr
And then people get geared
even with gear with no gear they insta dead
And then they will still get deleted
I want a 10 hour YouTube video of just Ace up your sleeve proc sound effects
I will listen to it as I zleep
Doesn't happen to me
Just realized when I make my 675 pve wep later. Ima have max level weps week 1 for pvp 😂
I just get kills with KS and gsw
You got enough crests already?
Idek why I talent into ace half the time
I’m like 15 off 60. And that’s just from solo 😂
Just had a healer going 5-0 leave on the last match because the other healer "should win one"
Insane
Report him lmao
He could've just not healed lol
I was thinking "another 3-3 whatever"
what a chad
damn Rip.
i used to be a lover of GSW, no cap
would talent if i had 1 extra talent to use 
I'm not gonna cry about 30 rating at the 1800 bracket, but still
The principle of the thing
I get a lot of killing blows with it
Actually hits harder than my BtE
If you run cto, you can drop that
i do! ima try out on one of my rogues since we got sleigh hand buff.
Back to Pistol Poppin 
Sick
If I could run 1 fth and gsw I would
But noooooooo
It's gotta be a bastardized capstone with one connecting node
Dang
Was just drifting to sleep and I had a terrible realization
Need to see an Outlaw tree
I can fix it
I think all 3 rogue specs are the best they have ever been in history
Save for old Hemorrhage rogue but that's just special to me
Already is without it. I’ve probably got like 30+ 5 rolls since Tuesday
I wish I had a weak aura that counted 5 rolls cause it’s a bonkers number that it’s at
That extra like 7% for a 5 roll from four piece gonna be so filthy good
yeah i mean it prolly feel okay without it whenever you do manage 5s, it just isn't optimal looking at it from an average dps standpoint
LD just more consistent until you have 4p
LD would be nice if outlaw didn’t reroll so much. 2 rolls or less never stays longer than 10 seconds it feels like before rerolling again
Hell the other night I think I had a solo lobby where 3 straight rounds I had 5 rolls turned into 6. It’s such a game over for the other team when that happens
idk the variance between 2/5 isn't that huge
You don’t get to keep em
Exploit early exploit often
I got to keep all but 1 of my sockets on my main rogue
Fatebound. Go against the system 😂
i see 11 fatebounds on murlok
but not sure if that means anything this early in the season
I got 2430cr yesterday playing deathstalker so probably that
nah
fatebound is still the easier choice if you want to turn your brain off
deathstalker is just all around better
Sounds like rogue is doing well
Actually no
Every single rogue I meet dies really quickly
I say #buffrogues

bring me back bois
See red buff hit button
simple times
I cannot still fathom how WoD burst of speed existed
I remember reading that ability and still thought it was a joke.
it was nerfed at the end of wod and was still insane
was like 15 energy at the first pass
i think
something spammable
Just did a few solo this season, I feel sin dmg is kinda low?
nah its about as good as it has been
Yeah in WoD you had Perma sprint
So stupid, we were FCs in BGs
In the middle of a cast sequence macro, can you make multiple abilities cast at the same time? For example, if I want the 4th cast of a macro to do shadow blades, symbols of death, and a trinket simultaneously that don't trigger the GCD.
Yeah that's doable with anything not on global cooldown
Also this
even when they aren't breaking half way through, they're really terrible to use
cast sequencemacros in pvp is a bad idea lol
No, you don't use cast sequence for that
You can include those WITH a cast sequence macro if you want though
Cast sequence's strength lies in macroing things that trigger the GCD
I would suggest you have a cast sequence macro for whatevert abilities you want and just a seperate "swifty macro" on another bind
i go on mm
every game is 3x melee
@potent pivot anotherone before reset
now time for rog 
I have a macro for shadow blades and symbols already. I just want to add that macro into the full cast sequence macro as a 4th cast
Then you're only opening yourself up for errors
There WILL be times you will fat-finger the sequence
Remember, it will never replace your current bind as there will be times you will want to use a CD outside of the sequence
Back when Arcane Torrent (the Belf racial) was an interrupt AND off the GCD, I used to use a castsequence of Kick-AT - My thinking was, it's a large CD that I will only ever want to use when Kick is on CD
And then it fucking happened, I needed to Kick two fuckers at once in arena and they were next to each other, and instead I had to Kick first, wasting the CD, and AT straight after
I looked in the mirror later, cracked and bloody from the rage I unleashed on it, and I leant my face forward to lock with my own eyes. "Never again" I whispered, "Never again"
does dwarf racial still cd with trinket
Yes
ewwww
those are both off gcd so why not just make it a macro that presses both
!stats
These are the recommended stat priorities for each spec in PvP. Please keep in mind that having suboptimal stats on some pieces such as tier set pieces is not the end of the world.
Subtlety: Vers>Mastery>Crit>Haste
Assassination: Vers>Mastery>Crit=/=Haste
Outlaw: Vers>Haste=/=Crit>Mastery
You likely want to stack at least 20% Haste on Outlaw for an extra GCD during ADR/Crackshot windows. Take 'em by Surprise gives you 10% during CS windows, so you only need 10-15% from gear.
Is that 2 or 3
Belf or undead for tbc arena hmmm
Wotlk arena was a joke
2v2 was just war pala or dk pala
Oh and don’t forget “go swipe for all the bis heroic loot and shadowmourne if u wanna be competitive bc the PvP gear is actual dog shit”
Hello guys i'm having trouble finding a Rogue sub spec for TWW S2 PvP
Anyone got one ?
Clearly not, I was there!
I never got the Shadowmourne hate either, it was always exciting to see
And a lot rarer than people made out
Launch DK was a mini-boss for sure though
builds are likely to change after reset
What, why?!
Did they do more changes?
you didn't see the post from earlier this week?
Man, I have a life!
just copy Nahj's build
its the most likely build after the changes
its shifting dmg away from heavy modifier stacking burst
to more consistent dmg profile
Mate
Don't talk that political shite with me
I've seen these "not nerfs nerfs" before
Well, our backstabs will do 20% more damage now, so forgive them
Roughly 39% modifiers removed for 25% base damage to eviscerate
Gloomblade, backstab numbers irrelevant
Shadowstrike numbers mostly irrelevant
So 14% less damage when everything was stacked? And 25% more the rest of the time?
Essentially so.
It's more consistent damage and makes it so you don't gimp yourself if you struggle tracking and stacking everything, but overall it lowers our kill potential
But later this season we're going to still achieve probably 100% mastery so it may not be as bad yet, we'll have to see
The big issue is shadowstrike damage is negligible and backstab damage is negative.
20% buffs to an attack that hits for 1% player HP is still nothing.
True
Nahj and Kalvish kind of said it best: it's a buff for the average rogue player and a nerf for the skilled player
How much impact does rupture have on sub? It keeps getting buffed
But the fact is the numbers aren't there so even the skilled players suffer
So, a buff for the likes of me who hasn’t played sub
It's not much, but enough that running lingering shadows Into melee cleaves is good with Dark Brew
When you have cooldowns rolling rupture does tick for a decent amount and it makes your damage look beefy on details, but it's not purposeful damage
In the 9 second kill window rupture does probably 1.2mil?
Sass has sudden demise which makes those bleeds extra juicy. I guess sub has nothing like that.
I played dk so when it was 2v2 mirror matches I got stomped bc pals didn’t have ulduar lego and I didn’t have shadow mourner
Farming all the KB’s in blitz bc sudden demise

Hell yes!
DGKillshot addon is a must for assassination
Get good
Wait, does this mean my build is the best build even after the patch?
Fuck, I'm good
I keep looking at these changes and I'm not sure what's going to go down
We're not going to have to play Goremaw's Bite like some sort of irredeemable degenerates, are we?
Huge news for my alt rogue
Honestly playing Rotten would probably be better, but Goremaws might just help energy issues
Just shove it anywhere in burst over SS for free eviscerates in Darkest Night.
I dunno, bro, are you even over 2.4k?
I'm betting Trickster might show some teeth because there was already a trickster single vanish build that was played last season
Tell me yourself.
any outlaw changes
didnt see any
p sure kalvish made a twitter post saying "this is a step in the rgiht direction for sub"
I know, it's more or less because it puts sub in line with other classes and specs that rely on consistent output and pressure.
Like the fact that using details and DPS is an indicator of skill in arena is wild if you're an older player, but it's true for every specialization except sub
yeup 🙂 requires sub to actually play the game when not waiting for stun drs
I think sub is still cooked until Blizzard reverts the dragonflight shadow dance changes
what were those
I think the weird thing is sub is just getting closer to being like outlaw now
just a less cdr focused version
When they decreased the amount of cooldown spending CPs took off dance from 1 seconds a point to .5
I think those are the numbers now, they lowered it because of more points
I mean it's just weird because Sub has always been simplistic in form but tedious in execution
Lowkey the spec is about spamming ambush and eviscerate
In a short window for big damage. Then they made 2 windows and the damage less big, and pretty much forever we've been figuring out ways to stack modifiers
It is a step in the right direction
that a ouch thou isnt it dont sub player like being less substain more bursty
Nope, legion forward was a mistake
Dance being an impactful ability on one charge and “some” damage out of dance was good. Get back to dance simulator and listening to others whine every season about anything we Subtlety rogues do is old af.
Not fuckin around while other classes evolved
Its an exhausting ferris wheel to ride and it is past time
Good on the devs

Literally v similar to Outlaw
Sub is inbetween assa and outlaw now in terms of playstyle
less damage than assa, less control than outlaw
I almost think assa is on the far end
more kill potential than outlaw, less than assa
Outlaw has way more control than sub
I agree
I guess in terms of damage I put outlaw in the middle
less burst than sub but more consistent dam
and less consistent dam than assa but more burst
but yeah in control sub is in the middle
agreed
consistent damage doesnt matter though 😦 damage at the right time does
I mean
it does
if you start a go at 100% hp vs starting one with them at 70%
if consistnet dam didnt matter assa would suck
but pressure and momentum mean a lot in todays meta
you cant have all of either
specs that do a mixture are kings rn
tbh I think thats the way it should be
It's an interesting opinion to see you have. The game hasn't had that kind of mindset in a while. Sub has kind of been the outlier
Why do people run serrated bone spike over say Kingsbane or indiscriminate carnage?
Not running IC is troll af, unless it’s 2s
SBS and KB can be interchanged if you want
SBS is good for killing totems
instead of having to send 20 mutilates
What if i only play blitz?
Yeah. When I do 3s or shuffles a lot of times, idc to be top details damage, even as Assa
I CC a lot and ween for restealths to annoy the healer
as long as I have bleeds out on the kill target
that’s also why so many good outlaws win high rated 3s with doing 60% of everyone else’s damage
They do damage at the right moments, when enemy healer has no trinket etc etc
Well that’s up to you and your role and playstyle as a Rogue in Blitz, if you’re 1v1ing a lot, KB prob does more for you
if you’re teamfighting, SBS is really good
You should always play IC though
Maybe i am misunderstanding the value of sbs
It cant be just the damage, and i am not pressing rupture that much unless it is about to drop
Combo point generation and passive rot that you don’t think about
Yeah i usually play IC/KB
KB can be fickle too
I guess KB just does that damage at once and hopefully the right time to kill something
Ok, so AoE teamfights, should be SBS over KB likely
Ya likely
I can get like some insane KB dot ticks vs pet classes
And spamming fan of knives and envenom
When full bleeds are up
hey all, anyone know of a macro to use death from above when off cooldown and then eviscerate when its on cooldown? just trying to save on some keybinds. I've tried a cast sequence macro that looks like this
#showtooltip Death from Above
/castsequence reset=30 Eviscerate, Death from Above
but it only works on the first rotation. thanks in advance
Interesting to know. I'm just trying to play out for a glad this xpac
I know it doesn't mean much right now but I've never been top of the latter before so I'm happy about this. Don't ruin it for me ❤️
and
But 4 set is nerfed so hard
25% effectiveness
extra
4 seconds
for envenom
but i guess it'd work for rupture and CT
but
we lose vers and mastery
? it should be 50
oh you meant the 50% nerfed by 50%
its 25% additional effectiveness though
I'm still not sure if our 2 set is nerfed by 50% or 66%
1% per stack
50% would be 1.5%
we've been over this
I know
if it says 3%
it's 1.5%
if you get to two stacks and it says 2%
it's 1% per stack
ok nvm hovering tooltip is useless
it says 3% per stack when pvp flagged

im at 10 stacks and it says 30%
but yeah, idk 4 set gonna be interesting
i really dont know
Anyone know of any actual high end PVP guilds?
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
2 stacks said 2% dam?
if it's 1% per stack, prob dont play 4set
cause the gain is so little
Pvp guilds are barely a thing these days
thoughts @potent pivot
Yeah seems so
goes from 10% dmg increase to 12.5% dmg increase
for 4 more seconds
and you lose
I’m not sold on it being 1% per stack until I see some screenshots or something ngl
4% mastery
Where are you getting this from
I logged out to digest this food baby for a while. I'll report back in a bit
The 4p was never gonna be too insane imo
At most it’s a tiny gain like last season
if i can literally see the stack say 1% right now
then we know
it isnt worth it
100%
Because at least the pieces have mastery on them
Knew it

Yep
It’s going to be very close
well
Doesn't that settle it
we "gain" haste and crit
Ah
for the loss of vers mastery
but pvp is a bit different than pve cause it's more situational
that's why a lot of classes stack 1 stat instead of doing similar to pve
Ivan
In that 4% figure
Is that with engi goggles
Because if we don't run 4pc I'm running engi
A lot of that is just people not seeing tangible value through their details meter
Since pvp has no way to simulate damage the only thing 98% of people go off is the deterministic damage they see on ability tooltips and shit
ya
well the way i see it is that
we dont get all the benefits of haste in pvp
when we're CCd
or out of melee range or not spamming abilities on GCD
but obviously it still helps with our bleeds and energy and other stuff, we just dont get the FULL benefit
and same for crit
