PIKABOO JUST SAID ROGUE PRIEST IS BAD PLAYING SUB

#

BS?

potent pivot
gleaming sentinel
hollow carbon
#

Bad for getting r1 or bad for getting elite set?

fathom moss
#

its just got trink/blades/thistle/symbols. If they disarm After your first strike you've committed nothing but 30 sec cds.

spring bough
#

I love trickster outlaw

dark kernel
#

You do that on purpose so if they try to stop your go you haven't washed any CDs

dark kernel
#

I've been working my ass off on it and been consistently pumping near 600K in arenas and keeping CC out off DR man and feral, fury, ww, arms, even ret now is pumping more.

fathom moss
#

the sword chad dream will live on one of these days

dark kernel
#

I'm sure people can make it work and I'm not the greatest, but dog even yesterday I had a game of 3s I just tested purely dps not even CCing and I'm topping out at 700k

#

Just not fun when WW and fury and even DH sneeze out that damage

fathom moss
#

I don't have the brain power to branch out to sword chad especially if its not just chunking everyone

spring bough
#

Blitz elite push later just need to rip like 7 wins in a row lol

fathom moss
#

With full consume buffs ripping off 23 mill in 7 or seconds

cobalt yew
#

But, I do believe it might be easier playing assa rather then sub

#

Then or than?

prisma hamlet
#

hey question: what is the respawn time rate for the War Chests that drop in warmode zones? and if you are in a party, does everyone get loot? or only one person?

hollow carbon
dark kernel
#

You can definitely just start with CS

#

You just lose damage

#

And 9999% of the time the moment any player sees blades and is stunned it's just trinket.

potent pivot
#

no real way to game it

fathom moss
#

Nacho party puts em on

potent pivot
#

you don't need an addon

#

there's WAs that alert spawns

#

but the spawn times are random

hollow carbon
fathom moss
#

The addon gives the times for each zone its actually pretty wild

#

Once you capture a timer pops up for it

potent pivot
#

maybe it gives the times a crate was last seen

fathom moss
#

Nah its actually the exact time it appears in the zone. I have 0 idea how it works other than you have to capture it first

potent pivot
#

pretty positive it isn't possible to predict the spawns

#

they aren't on set timers

fathom moss
#

I'd check the addon out i do it every week

spring bough
#

So HO trickster aoe build for outlaw @stoic spruce

stoic spruce
#

what about

spring bough
#

Bout to rip some HO later. Drop cto for precise cuts and be a solo shuffle aoe champ

dark kernel
#

It's not worth to get, but deft maneuvers would be baller for melee shuffles

stoic spruce
#

PC is more aoe

#

youre already getting hella buffs

#

with loaded dice

potent pivot
#

also some link with tomtom so whenever you call a crate it leads ppl to it etc

#

all i'm saying is that i don't think its possible to 100% predict spawn times, but idk. never seen any of them do that since spawns can vary

fathom moss
#

It does eventually get thrown off, after rotating the same 4 zones a few times it needs to be reset. The addon itself is more of a group manager for that specific task. Really cool though to gear alts/cap quick

river pollen
#

Those crate drops are such a lit addition to wpvp

fathom moss
#

Yeah man they're a blast

dark kernel
#

I dunno my DPS has kinda stagnated as outlaw and it could be my blade flurry up time

stoic spruce
#

well yeah thats also the only time you go trickster

dark kernel
#

I've been running it into every matchup tbh

#

But I'm still just testing.

#

You swap to fatebound for caster cleaves for the hook I assume.

is there no WM world quests up rn

#

or am i bugged

spring bough
#

Was in hallowfall I think. Didn’t see any others. My alts need a bloody token WM world quest

potent pivot
#

i think i remember seeing 1 at times in s1 but idr ever not having any

spring bough
#

Gotta get this night elf rogue ready to pew pew

potent pivot
#

like zero is weird isn't it

gleaming pawn
#

Could be both are in spiderland

#

You have to have the weekly “do stuff in the zone” quest to see the WM quests in AK

potent pivot
#

true but i already made a pact

#

ye not seeing any in AK either

gleaming pawn
#

Huh that’s just really weird then

potent pivot
#

yeh

potent pivot
#

i guess i was just bugged

#

there's 2 in ringing deeps

#

i guess my WM toggle just wasn't actually working even though i was in dorn

#

maybe because of the supplycrate addon i was looking at, it did have some lua errors going off etc

hybrid palm
#

Does blackjack apply to gouged targets

potent pivot
#

blind and sap, as it states NODDERS

hybrid palm

Sad

That would be so busted lmao

hybrid palm

Is the distract pvp talent of any use, I try using it n did nothing:D

potent pivot
#

within the 8sec iirc

gleaming sentinel
#

Sub kinda seems to be doing more consistent dmg than outlaw now

dark kernel
#

It's poetic I played sub all last season and swapped outlaw to be more consistent and practice.

potent pivot
#

i think a good outlaw does more

#

like every time

safe pelican

Too much outlaw slander , pirate team lookin’ weak

#

@potent pivot i spent 100 bucks to add 32bg ram to my gig and now my pc is buttery smooth

#

no more crashes

#

went from like 85% memory utilisation to barely 20%

gleaming sentinel
grave basin
#

imagine i had a 3080 and had to play with the lowest setting

#

if not my pc would black screen and force restart

potent pivot
#

I need to go get the ram my buddy has extra of

spring bough
potent pivot
#

Going from 16gb to 64gb is gonna be huge

grave basin
#

i went from 16 to 48

#

and im blazing

gleaming sentinel
spring bough
grave basin
#

we running 5 VMs here?

potent pivot
#

Whenever I finally get around to building a new pc it’s gonna be topped out

spring bough
#

I topped my shit out just for fun

#

Mostly max everything lol

potent pivot
#

But I’ve got other shit to do first like swapping my isp

spring bough
#

Last thing I haven’t swapped is to a new power supply unit. Everything else was easy. That one worries me lol

grave basin
#

you got a 50x series gpu?

#

say it saint so

spring bough
grave basin
#

wow so this is what WoW looks like with ultra settings

#

and 16x antro

#

i mean the texture filtering to 16x anisotropic

#

that made a massive difference

#

gpu temp at 60degrees with 60% fan speed is alright? any1 knows. my gpu usage seems to peak at 72%

potent pivot
#

I would recommend looking it up

#

There’s a lot of different ways you can set it up

grave basin
#

seems like people like to go really aggressive with the fan speed curve on msi afterburner

jolly sierra
#

you guys has flashy setup? i am still playing with an integrated graphic card

hollow carbon
grave basin
#

true

#

60% is kinda alright

#

i can hear the spin but it's not like rocket take off

potent pivot
#

if you use a headset you'll never really notice em anyway

#

i mostly use speakers if i'm not in vc, and still rarely notice my fans

spring bough
jolly sierra
#

i use my headset and it disables every noise

even my loud cat when is purring

Yeah idk

#

Pve then

vocal surge
#

I feel bad for this Arcane mage

#

they're dueling me but they feel new to the class

halcyon timber
#

Showed him the ol boot to face

#

Only way to learn is by doing

vocal surge
#

1 sided fight

#

Out of the 6 duels

#

5 of em I got 5 buff lol

halcyon timber
#

Loaded mf dice on that soul

#

Outlaw rising

vocal surge
#

Sleight of Hand go brrr

#

Will say Outlaw still weaker than Windwalker Monk by a mile Deadge

halcyon timber
#

I was speaking more of a cool moment like my hero academia moment where the odds are stacked and outlaw does some cool sheet

#

Monks are def strong

vocal surge
#

Overpowered

halcyon timber
#

Haven’t gotten any time to play since it has been non stop exams

#

Maybe later tonight dunno yet

vocal surge
#

After getting their combo off, they can deal 50% - 80% of your hp in like 2 - 3 ability casts

#

Constantly

halcyon timber
#

Yeah def probably aint getting changed tbh

vocal surge
#

It's been like this since the start of the season

halcyon timber
#

Slicing winds is a bit nuts

vocal surge
#

Since they added a lot of new monk abilities

#

It is overpowered lol

halcyon timber
#

And jade lightning is rough when you cannot interrupt it heh

vocal surge
#

Jade Lightning is not as bad to get hit by

#

Compared to Slicing Winds

#

Which you cant really dodge because of how fast it moves

halcyon timber
#

Yeah can cloak both tbh since it is magic energy lore wise / mechanic wise

#

Unless that gets changed like how dh stuff did

vocal surge
#

You cant cloak it all thou

halcyon timber
#

Yeah

vocal surge
#

it has a short cooldown

#

14s CD

halcyon timber
#

Dunno how it gets amped up. Chi spenders or something?

vocal surge
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

halcyon timber
#

XD

#

If so then it is fine

vocal surge
#

But 1 thing is for sure, their Mastery is giving them a damage boost higher than anything I've seen

#

I dont think Slicing Wind is fine lol, cant even run from the monk

#

They charge that up w. roll or Flying Dragon Kick from across the arena and now they're next to you

halcyon timber
#

Dunno what it does . Had a ww friend who said they only used versatility for a long time as mastery didn’t attribute to much ( old expansions)

vocal surge
#

rn average Mastery for monk is 64%

halcyon timber
#

Jade lightning i meant is fine

#

Winds /shrug

vocal surge
#

for 2s #1 Monk, they have 71% mastery which equates to 71% increased damage for all of their abilities

halcyon timber
#

Only thing ive seen for winds is to root it by a sick ass mage or shaman

#

Feint is all we can do or grapple / step it . Really dang fast , def hard

vocal surge
#

Feint doesn't apply the AOE damage reduction portion to the ability

#

nor to most of monk's aoe abilities

halcyon timber
#

The damage is full regardless of how long they hold it right? It is only modded by distance?

vocal surge
#

The charge up for Slicing wind only increases how far they'll travel

#

They'll hit equally as hard regardless of how long its been charged

halcyon timber
#

Yeah figured from reading up on it

#

Nice to confirm though

#

I wonder if low cd blind would be worth it since prob cannot gouge it like we used to do the hunt

vocal surge
#

low CD blink is really weak rn

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just as a stop to winds

#

To break their timing and battle rhythm

vocal surge
#

With all the CDR for Blind on Outlaw

#

AOE Blind is 1.5s long

#

for 41s CD

halcyon timber
#

Prefer gouge all day

#

I wonder if there is a possibility to gouge it to cancel it mid air

#

Even though aoe blah blah

vocal surge
#

prob but you'll get hit if you gouge

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

#

Gouging hunt mid flight used to work to cancel it but was finnicky

vocal surge
#

Ye

halcyon timber
#

Good time to blind though to be safe if needed

vocal surge
#

Yeee

halcyon timber
#

Winds require a wep?

vocal surge
#

Not sure

halcyon timber
#

Or is ir uncle iroh chi

vocal surge
#

I imagine they dont need weapons

halcyon timber
#

Gonna wowhead it to confirm

vocal surge
#

like a majority of monk abilities

halcyon timber
#

No wep on tooltip hooks

#

So yeah just mobility hit. Feint or die heh

stiff cedar
halcyon timber
#

Yeah just chi builders i think / fist of fury

halcyon timber
#

Used to be karma too that couldn’t be used while disarmed

vocal surge
#

Probably hasn't updated their database

halcyon timber
#

Was a while ago

potent pivot
halcyon timber
#

Heh

#

Def cool though. Good for them man

vocal surge
#

Lmao

#

Imma just level each class until I can see their talent trees because Murlok.io isn't giving me a clear picture of what each talent does

#

I had to check on my low level alt monk to see what you mean by replaces FSK

potent pivot
#

murlok is pretty shit

stiff cedar
#

Disarm stops strike of the windlord and fists of fury, sotw they press before slicing or conduit bc it makes you take 10% increased nature dmg, so disarming can delay the go. It def does way less than vs most other melee though

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just like warr on self war banner vs tremor shout (choice)

stiff cedar
#

No reason to do all that just wowhead talent calculator

vocal surge
#

I cant be asked to use WoWhead, site's so bloated with ads

stiff cedar
#

Er, yeah level up every class then ig. I've never had an issue with it, there are legit 0 on mobile that you can't click the x to hide and on pc there's plenty of space to see

vocal surge
#

Aye

#

I only use Wowhead for 2 things, Dressing Room and News

#

and that's pretty much it

HO def more energy starved than KIR is though its crazy

#

DH was stunned at 50% with a full kidney. bro didnt get out of the stun LOL

#

one KS and an ambush it was over

potent pivot

sounds about right for a dh

spring bough
#

unseen blade dmg with HO is actually a lot higher than KIRs lol

#

why do i always play venruki

#

of course this MF FOMO is playing a monk smh

stiff cedar
#

oh yeah venfuki the fotm reroller

#

he's never played a monk before now even, just plays whats broken, hate that guy fr

spring bough
#

2-0 on him so far

vocal surge
spring bough
#

he isnt doing so hot lmao

#

bro went 2-4 squeaked out a win last round with him lmao

severe helm
#

monk is his main right after mage

#

not mw but ww

#

also mw isnt even the broken spec of monk rn is it?

stiff cedar
severe helm
#

thought rsham is the meta rn

stiff cedar
#

was memeing on vancleef calling him fomo when he mains monk as much as he does mage or right after mage

severe helm
spring bough
stiff cedar
#

saying fomo seems pretty similar to saying fotm but fair enough ig

stiff cedar
#

ww is really strong

#

mw is one of the worst healers in the game

spring bough
#

WW is

severe helm
#

hes not playing ww

#

he was the healer

spring bough
#

i had no idea i played him back to back lobbies coulda swore he was WW

severe helm
#

rofl bro

bro what

#

lmao

potent pivot
spring bough
#

im fucking trolling of course he is MW

potent pivot
#

what have i come back to

spring bough
#

i just met venfuki back to back solo lobbies

#

he got 2-4'd the first one think he did on the second too lol

potent pivot
#

not surprising

#

i bet he complained to his chat about rogue the entire time too

spring bough
#

it was DK this time actually lmao

#

bro was in PVE gear round 1

#

than just trolled later rounds

halcyon timber
#

Ven and Supa always gripe about rogue no matter what

potent pivot
#

he was going over different things on arenalogs earlier, like first blood, highest burst, avg dps, etc.
and laughed at sub being on the same level as tank's dmg

halcyon timber
#

Standard procedure from him

potent pivot
#

->spec was already below tank dps
->cries for nerfs
->spec still below tank dps
->laughs at them

halcyon timber
#

Then cries and complains bc he didn’t get to afk tap tf out of someone

But now wondering if I should camp it out or risk it for illusion show off early season:D

potent pivot
#

up to you, but if you're having fun you should keep queuing

#

nothing gained from sitting your rating

#

even if you lose some now, it will be easy to gain it back as the season goes on

hybrid palm

True, thnx !

Warlock used to be my main in 2011. Restarting this year I thought I'd go rogue, but damn it seems like the casters have it so much easier than melee. They just have to target you then press their buttons. Even if there's a bunch of visual clutter making it hard to see someone it doesn't matter for them but for melee you can lose track of your targets exact location.

potent pivot
#

Are you using a good nameplate addon like BetterBlizzPlates or something

#

Can hide the pet plates that don’t matter and emphasize targets/totems etc

spring bough
ionic orbit
#

I don't have any add ons yet. I need a gaming computer first I think. Wife's computer lags already on minimum graphic settings.

potent pivot
#

Some addons are very minimal on performance

#

As long as you stay away from the big ones like WeakAuras, ElvUI, Plater, etc you should be fine

#

But I guess it kinda depends on what kind of CPU and how much RAM you’ve got

gleaming pawn
#

welcome to every single other dps spec in the game. Rogue is outclassed in damage done by everyone else, and every season our toolkit is making up for less and less of it

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

I imagine the main times you experience lag are in the main city or when there’s a lot of players/mobs rendered on your screen

#

When I first came back to wow in SL I had an even worse GPU than what you’ve got kekw3

#

I would at least get some of the basic required addons for pvp like Gladius, BetterBlizzPlates, omniCD, etc

#

There’s probably some settings you can tweak to get a little more performance in game as well

hybrid palm
#

Against dk dh, what's prio target, n against lock /mage/ ele sham, what's prio target, usually

severe helm
potent pivot
#

Kinda meh because no one uses it

severe helm
#

lol outlaws barely above sub

potent pivot
#

We need to normalize WCL for pvp man

severe helm
#

fr fr

potent pivot
#

If there’s a lock in any match up it’s almost guaranteed the main target

hybrid palm
potent pivot
#

If you try to hard focus the mage then what are you letting the lock do?

#

As assa you want to bleed everything but you need to aids the lock usually, disrupt them and don’t let them free cast etc

hybrid palm
#

So like, if it's double melee comp example against lock mage or ele etc, isn't the optimal strat to split one melee training each n see what falls faster n switch n secure kill

severe helm
#

you cant kill mage rn

#

unless they are dogshit bad

#

it is the tankiest caster in the game by far imo

potent pivot
#

Splitting your pressure is kinda meh

severe helm
#

Yeah classes have too many cds now

#

gotta train a target to get through them all

hybrid palm
#

So why remove veil cloak then

potent pivot
#

What

severe helm
#

cuz rogue is tanky af and doesnt need it

#

to be good

#

they just made a mistake buffing mage defensiveness

#

they'll correct it

potent pivot
severe helm
#

I mean i hope so

potent pivot
severe helm
#

blizzard needs a lot of hand holding when it comes to pvp

#

they are very very far removed from any pvp expertise

#

but people dont ptr test pvp that much

potent pivot
#

Venruki is their hand holder ig

severe helm
#

if that were true rogues wouldnt still be S tier lol

potent pivot
#

S tier lol

severe helm
#

I still think cheap shot needs a cooldown

potent pivot
severe helm
#

S tier *in competition

#

OR

#

alternative

#

REMOVE THE 3RD DR

#

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

#

PLS

#

imo removing 3rd DR would improve pve and pvp immeasurably

potent pivot
hybrid palm
#

I mean veil cloak had niche break out of bleeds, what was so op about it

#

It's less that mage ice block

severe helm
#

Yeah I mean I personally think "hard counter" talents are lame and uninteresting

potent pivot
#

Veil was never that important in arena

severe helm
#

its only relevant when assa or feral are S tier

#

it was WAY too op when it was 100% dodge too

hybrid palm
#

But like gave free vanish reset outside of 3 seconds also

#

That choice has also gone

severe helm
#

wdym

hybrid palm
#

Cloak vanish would free you of all debuffs

severe helm
#

oh sure

#

not really significant though

potent pivot
#

You really don’t need a clean vanish in arena

#

You’re using Vanish for dps or a quick way to get topped

hybrid palm
#

So I've been playing single vanish + forced induction, vanish is barely part of my gameplay. But earlier with cloak was a free bubble

potent pivot
#

What spec are you playing?

hybrid palm
#

But not sure, I mean last season was using airborne irritant, started gouging:D, so probably something missing

#

Sub

potent pivot
#

Ok I was about to say

#

But either way Vanish gives you a shield regardless of it being a clean restealth or not

#

You should be able to get topped by your healer with it

#

Using cloak and vanish just to sit stealth is a waste

#

That’s using 2 defensives for no real reason

hybrid palm
#

Ya but they deleted duel also, so I just feel like a wannabe brawler without any tools to rogue 😄 that existed last season

potent pivot
#

Yeah I mean I’m definitely not a fan of how much stuff just keeps getting removed from rogue as a whole the past couple years

#

But what can ya do ya know Sadge

hybrid palm
#

Right now sub basically plays like assassination, with dance available n no reliance on subterfuge n slightly stronger nukes if darkest night not up

gleaming pawn
#

It was too long ago to quote him but, outside of Echo/Whaaz because EU is EU, when is the last time a Rogue team won the AWC with Rogue? Just because there’s a handful of teams in NA still running Rogue comps does not mean Rogue is “s-tier in competition”

potent pivot
#

Not that long ago right

#

Since na and eu have completely separate tourneys now

#

But idr exact winners from DF

I did it! I broke 1B dam!

So this week we can get guaranteed 4pc if we get a tier from the raid and use a varnish + use bloody token piece and catalyst.

grave basin
#

That's right

hybrid palm
#

Is it better to use tier with lower ilvl or max ilvl non tier

potent pivot
#

if you mean pve tier, it would need to be like 665 minimum to be worth using

hybrid palm
#

Yeah I got pve tier, sad

potent pivot
#

you can buy the item to make tier scale to 678 pvp ilvl later

hybrid palm
#

Yes

potent pivot
#

from the conq vendor

#

so just hang onto it for now

#

do you have pvp 2set?'

hybrid palm
#

Nope

potent pivot
#

because sub is only using 2set for sure

#

you should have pvp 2set

#

already

hybrid palm
#

I used my catalyst for pve tier pieces which are 655 kinda

potent pivot
hybrid palm
#

But head piece is 678 pve

#

So I can use one more with it I guess

#

N sacrifice some I lvl

hybrid palm
potent pivot
#

nope

#

not until ppl test it and say its better than no set

#

most sub are assuming it will only be 2set

hybrid palm
#

But why? Like no loss of stacks during dance sounds good

potent pivot
#

because of the secondary stats

hybrid palm
#

Ah ok

potent pivot
#

all tier sets are nerfed in pvp

#

so many specs in the game run 0set or 2set

hybrid palm
#

What's recommended for assa in pvp

its usually within like +/- 1% damage to use 4set

#

assa's is a wash pretty sure

#

like it will make basically no difference to run it or not

hybrid palm
#

I see

potent pivot
#

wanna take that flame elsewhere?

#

not going to have shit like that here

dapper chasm
#

Is there a consistent way to beat a ret in a duel?

#

After BoP and bubble, I'm running on fumes

potent pivot
#

in... Duel? ApuCry

dapper chasm
#

Yeah, I loved dueling, wana get back into it

#

Mages and locks feel about the same, but I went like 1-4 to a ret

#

The guy was insisting it's unwinnable

harsh kiln
#

who duels in 2025?:<

safe pelican
#

Hard to kill a ret 1v1 ngl only class i won’t 1v1 too many oh shit buttons

dapper chasm
#

Well, me, a mage, a lock and a ret for 4

#

Well, I can usually dispel BoP - belf privilage

safe pelican
#

Big brain to dispel but still don’t think that’s enough 🤣 Ret being able to hit an oh shit button in a stun and trinket is just a anti duel game changer

dapper chasm
#

Well, I won one, and it usually came to 10% hp each

#

But the fact they can attack in bubble, hit me out of stealth, full heals

#

It's just painful

dapper chasm
#

Yeah, but every other class feels doable

#

Except healers because design philosophy

@potent pivot

#

ok i got 4 set

potent pivot
#

the ilvl tho

jaunty osprey
#

im turning it into pvp tier

potent pivot
#

troo

#

im in pve brain

jaunty osprey
#

and then

#

using bloody token

#

for 1 piece

#

idc to min max on ALL of my rogues

potent pivot
#

yeh i mean

#

4p prolly not even minmaxing

jaunty osprey
#

no, i mean idc to min max by only using bloody tokens on accessories

#

and not main slots

potent pivot
#

i got hero tier shoulders

#

so i could also finagle 4 this week i think

potent pivot
#

ic what you meant

jaunty osprey
#

but dam

#

i can get belt and bracers this week

#

if i use bloody tokens

potent pivot
#

<

potent pivot
jaunty osprey
#

i got tier helm

#

so i'd get bloody token legs

#

got 1225 tokens atm

#

so i can only buy legs by itself for 4 pc

#

or belt and bracer and stay 2 pc

#

main rogue gear so far

potent pivot
#

Up to you but like

#

You’re only doing 4p to test right

jaunty osprey
#

havent spent conq

potent pivot
#

Would u be able to afford it next week

jaunty osprey
#

not both belt and bracer

#

next week

dark kernel
#

On ptr sin set was a net DPS loss.

#

I wonder how it is now

#

The 4pc correction*

potent pivot
potent pivot

Cuz if you can just do it next week with excess tokens it’s kinda w/e right

VICIOUS BLOODSTONES 7.7K NOWLOL

marsh folio
#

wait a second, u can buy pvp items now from others? like algari competitor's dagger? (new and returning player)

potent pivot
#

glad i bought a bunch day 1

potent pivot
#

with honor or conquest level heraldries

#

you can buy the green algari stuff as like, the very beginner set

#

but its lower pvp ilvl than honor/conquest

gloomy fiber
#

Hey all for outlaw pvp I see guides saying two 1 handed swords/axe/ect. We don’t use 1 sword/axe/ect and 1 dagger (off hand)?

severe helm
#

use whatever you want for your mog

#

or if you plan to play assa/sub then get a dagger probably

severe helm
#

@potent pivot is there a way to add pvp scaling to an item like this?

#

or do I have to craft the pvp item separately

#

im assuming the latter

jaunty osprey
#

u can not

#

only algari items scale up

#

from crafted

potent pivot
severe helm
#

was hoping the newly added tier scaling thing might be expanded somewhere

#

haha

jaunty osprey
#

ugh

#

maybe it's time to push my shuff

dark kernel
#

Good luck amigo

river pollen
#

hey my bad if its been asked before but anyone knows how to get the "free weapons"

#

i hope we are gettin them this week actually

river pollen
#

ohhhh

#

nice

#

ty!

potent pivot
#

we do indeed get them this week

#

because the seasonal cap moved up to 2800

river pollen
#

btw do you guys think we will be using 4 set or 2

#

cus i got enough conq to get a 3rd piece (pants)

potent pivot
#

depends on spec

river pollen
#

sub for me

potent pivot
#

assa/sub 4p still need to be tested

#

outlaw is the only for sure 4p user atm

river pollen
#

hmm in that case i could go for maybe the feocity trinket for now

#

or another crafted item ill see

potent pivot
#

i would go badge

river pollen
#

true ill do that

last jasper
#

sub def 2p. 4p were garbanzo even before modifiers nerf

potent pivot
#

it definitely wasn't garbage pre nerf

#

not by a long shot

severe helm
#

so busted

spare drum
#

guys which class has like the highest burst atm? since i heard sub got nerfed in terms of bomba =_=

potent pivot
#

it was disgusting pre nerf

spare drum
#

out of all classes?

potent pivot
#

no

severe helm
#

except for that brief time in DF when assa was almost 1 shotting with kingsbane

gleaming sentinel
potent pivot
#

out of rogue specs sure, out of all classes no

severe helm
#

shoulders are lower stat budget

#

at least imo Im gona run non chest tier

gleaming sentinel
#

Oh interesting ok

severe helm
#

all classes its hard to say

#

subs up there

spare drum
severe helm
#

but like theres always outliers

#

like asendence enhance sham

I figured chest because there’s such low vers in the others

severe helm

or dev evoker

think im gonna do some assa keys

last jasper
dark kernel

Maybe will

potent pivot
#

ye i'm not arguing that

#

but

#

its still worth testing

dark kernel
#

Rogues are already hitting mastery DR

#

People will have like 100-115 mastery this season so losing a little for tier might not be bad.

gleaming sentinel
#

It’s all experimental until conquest uncaps anyway

#

Then you can really play with stuff

last jasper
#

😂 u didn’t see that

safe pelican
#

Couldn’t find it in the patch notes but i also suck ass at reading patch notes

potent pivot
#

oh god lol

#

i'm talking about the tier set being tuned down during PTR

last jasper
silent charm
#

weapons of conquest are upon us, outlaw bros are we looking at double sword this time since the dagger is mastery?

#

kinda wack stat distribution tbh, vers/mastery fist, vers/mastery dagger, and vers/haste sword lol

#

no typical 1h axe for crit or something

#

but im guessing double vers/haste sword is just best

potent pivot
silent charm
#

yeah def good for assa

potent pivot
#

and sub

silent charm
#

but not for outlaw lol

potent pivot
#

the actual dagger specs

#

_<

silent charm
#

yeah but we also have a vers/mastery 1h

last jasper
silent charm
#

which isnt usually the case

#

not saying vers/mastery dagger is a bad thing

#

not like its ever a vers/haste dagger anyway lol

potent pivot
#

ideally we shouldn't be forced into any of the stats we don't want

#

but yep

silent charm
#

yeah but theres also usually a vers/crit 1h

#

but theres no axe this time

#

just sword/mace

potent pivot
#

yeah weird

#

i would just do the haste/vers though yes

#

and redistribute crit elsewhere

#

wherever possible

silent charm
#

we already get so much unnecessary mastery from tier as outlaw

#

but also we're hitting DRs on haste for sure lol

potent pivot
#

well i mean

#
  1. you don't need that much haste
#
  1. all stats are dogshit for outlaw so it barely matters
silent charm
potent pivot
#

like the max haste i would recommend is 15% ish

silent charm
#

everything already has vers, haste is our other stat to prio, and now we kinda have to dump extra into mastery when it sucks

#

and crit is nerfed in pvp lol

potent pivot
#

you only need ~10%, but ~15% is fine since its not hard to have

lethal roostBOT
#

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.

potent pivot
#

crit is still fine

silent charm
potent pivot
#

especially if you swapped to trickster since it got buffed, trickster has crit dmg interactions

#

its preferred over too much haste as well

silent charm
#

but our tier forces us to have one piece with 1k+ mastery and now our options for weapons are mastery or more haste lol

potent pivot
#

ye but you can gear crit/vers on a lot of gear

#

especially with crafted items etc

silent charm
#

yeah and crafted weapons are prob an option later in the season too

potent pivot
#

ye

#

after conq is uncapped there's no reason not to

What's the best way to get conquest? I only do PVE but need the PVP neck

silent charm

weekly pvp quests should get you enough for the neck

its only 525

glass iris
#

What gear should I prioritize buying with honor? Trinkets?

silent charm

trinkets first 100%

glass iris

Which ones? ty for the help

#

I haven't been able to find an up-to-date guide

silent charm
#

medallion/alacrity

#

at least for outlaw

#

not sure if sub/assa use alacrity

jolly sierra
#

if you have the former season ones

#

aim for a weapon

silent charm
#

^true, past season trinkets still apply the same set bonus. and a cc break is a cc break

jolly sierra
#

cuz you only want the set bonus from trinkets at start w honor

glass iris
#

I have pve 675 and 655 weapons

jolly sierra
#

fair, buy jewelry then

#

to get secondary stats

#

w honor

potent pivot
tranquil siren
#

alright whose done the math for 4 set outlaw i got 1 piece thats from pve but ilv is obvi lower than pvp

potent pivot
#

if the 1 piece is lower than like 660 i probably wouldn't use it

#

but its not gonna make a big difference unless its really low

tranquil siren
#

its the chest piece thats pve 649

#

while i had just honor piece before

potent pivot
#

might not be an actual damage gain in total but at least you'll get to have the bonus

tranquil siren
#

hmm okay

#

ty

silent charm
#

by this point in the season you should have enough conq to buy the conversion thing anyway

#

2 catalyst + 2 converted pve tier

#

thats what i have

#

oh actually one of my catalyst ones is warmonger

#

but still def better than pve ilvl

if you dont need the charges

oh right

loud ember

do people run the same talents for 2s as in solos?

IC n shit

you can swap to KB+MA if you want

kinda just preference

loud ember

what do you drop

#

to get kb and ma

#

sanguine blades and what else

potent pivot
keen canopy
#

isn't comp stomp specifically the best honor grind
like 500 honor every time and the queues are like instant
obviously it isn't always the brawl though

loud ember
#

makes sense

potent pivot
keen canopy
#

yeah smh they should remove half the brawls from the game so we get to comp stomp faster

#

nobody will miss Hotmogu anyway

spring bough
#

So don’t type “LOLOLOLOLOL” after every shuffle round it’s considered spam…….

keen canopy
#

surely you didnt do that
but if you DID
why would you do that

proper heath
#

Are we planning on getting 4P for assa?

#

It kinda seems sus.

#

It's only rupture and crimson tempest damage.

potent pivot
#

its likely fine to run tier

#

you can yes @severe helm

severe helm
#

lol ty

potent pivot
#

i was trying to beat the question in #outlaw

dense sluice
#

ping me again

potent pivot
keen canopy
#

you know i feel like i keep seeing people praise the tier sets this patch and I'm just not a big fan of them

#

the tier set bonuses i mean the transmogs are great obviously

except the warrior transmog that one sucks

potent pivot
#

the sub/outlaw bonuses are really nice

#

the assa bonus is kinda w/e

proper heath
#

Sometimes you rupture might do a bit more Damage and crimson tempest. Which has like 60^ uptime.

#

And we lose so much mastery and get so much haste and crit 😦

#

I'd rather just get mastery and have that % damage there all the time.

potent pivot
#

almost every piece has mastery

#

so you don't lose that much

#

and its not like crit/haste provide zero value

proper heath
#

I spit on haste!

#

I played my outlaw rogue turned assa, Dude. Disc priest damage.

keen canopy
#

not fond of assa in pvp but it's my preferred pve spec not that I do a whole lot of that

proper heath
#

I guess we go 4P because it seems good for sub.

keen canopy
#

yeah im liking sub this patch a lot but i miss shadowy duel every

#

day

#

not saying it wasnt super busted obviously

#

but it was cool

#

and the replacement pvp talent options for it are fine yeah but they aren't really as like flashy or thematic

proper heath
#

sub is good. It does really good damage.

potent pivot
#

I hope they fix stats one day because everyone running vers mast for every spec in the game is so fucking boring and dumb

proper heath
potent pivot
keen canopy
#

oh yeah for sure i swear i dont know why i bother checking stat prio for my alt classes because i know it's totally gonna be mastery

potent pivot
#

If you run like DTB and play for max envenom damage I think some haste is probably decent

proper heath
#

I miss deadly poison. Thats what I really miss

keen canopy
#

oh yeah for sure

proper heath
#

I need to play with a class that has MS.

potent pivot
#

Shadowlands 💀

#

DP doing 10% of your dmg

keen canopy
#

i mean deadly poison is literally like the first talent assa gets you know
and then we dont even use it

proper heath
#

I mean it still can, but we'd be throwing.

loud ember
#

hol up

#

i got the 1600 rating achievement just now

potent pivot
#

Check your bags

loud ember
#

is the idea that we keep the currency till we can transform something into a tier piece

potent pivot
loud ember
#

no i got that far

#

i too see wowhead comment threads

#

but like do we upgrade warmode gear with it to conq gear or do we wait till tomorrow

#

and upgrade to a twoset

potent pivot
loud ember
#

i was a dumb fuck

i bought conq craft tokens

yeah i am

#

so its like in a couple of hours

#

Poison bomb actually goes hard, we just dont play it.

#

oh wait. it doesn't proc off rupture now.

#

christ , it's been so long

keen canopy
#

yeah i really like poison bomb and kingsbane but you know a little tough to find the points for that

#

and I wish Death from Above was a better pvp talent

proper heath
#

me too. Our flashiest talent that represents rogue very well.

loud ember
#

is there a mark of honor vendor for season 1 TWW

keen canopy
#

yeah i mean it isn't the WORST thing ever but like you never take Death from Above over like Disarm

proper heath
#

Or system shock

#

System shock used to be really really strong

#

until they Deleted the talent, and then never balanced it

potent pivot
keen canopy
#

but like when do you really run system shock these days

#

leveling in war mode?

gleaming pawn
#

You could run system shock, dropping hemotoxin if you’re running the DTB/single target focused build. But you don’t usually run that outside of 2s

loud ember
#

it feels like you just default to smoke bomb, feint and disarm or hemo based on enemy comp

#

like for me I dont see the value in the talent mix up at all

keen canopy
#

well smoke bomb is like always right the others have a little more variance

gleaming pawn
#

In single target, the extra 4% is pretty shit for a talent slot

#

Hemo is only truly good when you AoE 30% MS the enemy team after you just spread all your bleeds too

proper heath
#

the real question is, is there any reason to take Maneuverability

keen canopy
#

Maneuverability is a talent that is in the game for sure

gleaming pawn
#

Maneuverability has some play in Blitz

#

Not really a reason take it in arena/shuffle though

keen canopy
#

what pvp talents does outlaw even run this season i haven't played my outlaw rogue this season like at all
probably just smoke/feint/disarm is a safe bet yeah since they removed take your cut and veil

proper heath
#

ok hear me out. Super charger, Forced Induction, Darkest night , Shiv, Amplifying poison, death from above at full combo points.

keen canopy
#

does darkest night apply to death from above?

proper heath
#

I wanna test this, it would be so sad if it still hits like a wet noodle.

#

DFA does an envenom so it does.

#

I know trill was doing this at the start of the expac, but this is before super charger

keen canopy
#

huh i didnt know that was considered an envenom by darkest night i might try it out later

potent pivot
#

At the start of the expansion and now

keen canopy
#

well is it good

potent pivot
#

It just never gets very popular but yes it’s good

#

Can hit like 6m envenoms if you line everything up iirc

keen canopy
#

huh thats pretty wicked

gleaming pawn
#

Several of us run the Kingsbane+Forced Induction build. It’s very good

potent pivot
#

Ye when I play assa that’s usually all I play

proper heath
#

What are you giving up? Double vanish?

potent pivot
#

You can drop tea

#

Never drop vanish

#

Also I should note

ionic orbit
#

Thought I'd be about to get leg armor this week but Blizzard's conquest limits are stupid so I can't. Should I buy prized gladiator boots or wait a whole extra week or 2 to get leg armor?

potent pivot
#

Anything above like 4-5m will require Amp poison

potent pivot
#

If ur playing sub

#

I’d def buy badge

ionic orbit
#

I didn't know they only increase the limit by 600 per week. that's ridiculous

potent pivot
#

Always been that way

ionic orbit
#

yeah I'm just discovering this game. Definitely different from my 2008-2011 stint.

gleaming pawn
#

The weekly cap is pretty garbage though and should be increased. At 600 you can’t get a piece a week which is just stupid

If you have to be horde, you should be Orc. There is no other benefit worth it on that faction and shorter stuns in this game state is nothing to scoff at

u can play with anyone in any content thats not world pvp now so faction doesnt matter

u cant disarm into warriors blade storm anymore canu

it doesnt cancel storm?

i'm like 99.9% sure no

i've never even thought to try
