Balance patches are usually on like any weekday

#

But could be next week as well who knows

stoic spruce
#

My uncle works at blizzard

#

He knows

potent pivot
#

Still a few top 10 guilds progging I think?

stoic spruce
#

But he won't tell mefeelsyarrman

potent pivot
#

I wonder if rogue will get anything at all

#

Starting to seem like we’re very middle of the pack in all content

#

If not a bit lower

hidden moth
#

sub mw dh do i run dfa or dismantle in this shuff

#

that or hemo tox but thinkin just sending disarm for rogue and dh

gleaming pawn
#

dismantle is useless because the DH just retreats and removes it

hidden moth
#

retreat removes dismantle with glimse?

#

good to know\

gleaming pawn
#

yep super annoying

#

dismantle is the pick when facing the rogue though to shut down their goes

hidden moth
#

ya

#

2-4 that lobby

#

just didnt have the burst to secure the kill

gleaming pawn
#

it was a rough lobby for a rogue. Only way it could have been worse really is a feral or maybe warrior in place of that sub rogue

hidden moth
#

in rmp 3v3 mage should way out damage the assa rogue ya?

#

no shot this should be dam break don

#

down

hidden moth
#

with all the hunters and monks rn is there a better comp than pmr rn?

#

rogue lock priest?

grave basin
#

I mean you can passively cleave 2x garrote to two melee

hidden moth
#

thats true

#

just our cc alignmentgs werent there and i found out later homie didnt have a dr tracker

#

unless ur nahj or aeghis no shot u run rmp with 0 dr tracker

#

im gonna try aff lock assa tommorow and learn sub/ work on cc chains

vocal surge
#

had an epic 2v2 game

#

disc priest fury war vs me outlaw + disc priest

outer sky
#

Pic 1 is my rupture tooltip with the AoE bleed build, pic 2 is with with the kingsbane build. Same gear. Both in PvP. Any idea what would cause such a massive difference???

vocal surge
#

our healers decided to stop going for fears on each other after 2 fear attempts

#

and it became a showdown between me n the fury punching each other

#

bladestorm and Killing spree at the same time

#

both healers low on mana, high dampening

#

and the health bar jumping

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

yep

#

i'm getting the same tooltip

#

with each build

outer sky
potent pivot
#

the 2nd pic isn't with pvp scaling

#

thats the tooltip with pve ilvl of your gear

#

mine looks the same

#

~2mil with pve ilvl, and ~4mil with pvp scaling

severe helm
#

@potent pivot was the only pvp dagger mast vers last season too?

severe helm
#

grr

potent pivot
severe helm
#

ah

outer sky
#

Did they buff assa's 4 set? my tooltip is showing 2 set with the pvp nerf but not 4 set

potent pivot
#

i'm 99.99999% positive its just pve VS pvp scaling on the tooltip

severe helm
#

those tooltips are often bugged @outer sky

#

tooltips are weirdly one of the things they fuck up the most

potent pivot
#

the 4p also says 4 second duration when its actually 10 seconds

#

fwiw

severe helm
#

lol

#

weird

outer sky
potent pivot
#

idk man i highly doubt that they unnerfed it

#

they just suck at tooltips

#

could be because you don't have it equipped or something no idea

outer sky
#

oh you mean 4 set

#

yeah but

#

i didnt a few days ago when I saw it say 25% lol

potent pivot
#

they still haven't fixed the 4p saying 4 second duration either so

#

just can't trust half the newly added stuff's tooltips

outer sky
potent pivot
#

nope

#

still might not run it even factoring that in though

grave basin
#

Isn't this insane for those that don't want 4pc

potent pivot
hidden moth
potent pivot
#

Or any rated pvp

grave basin
#

It does

#

Look at the comments

potent pivot
#

It won’t

#

Is what I’m saying

#

What it does on PTR isn’t always relevant

grave basin
#

garf wish it did

potent pivot
#

idk

#

having to run lower pvp ilvl for a set bonus sounds kinda meh

hidden moth
#

Tricks give me ur thoughts

#

Rmp or aff assa 3s

potent pivot
#

aff

hidden moth
#

Thought so

#

Also for rmp I would need to be sub rogue with frost mage for it to do well yeah

potent pivot
#

you can prolly do fine as assa

hidden moth
#

I’m just running into issues of 3X use of vanish I can’t get cheap shot or silence rolling again

potent pivot
#

but i think assa/aff is just kind of an easier time if no vc etc

hidden moth
#

We were in vc but idk what my mage was doing 😭😭😭😭

#

But fair

jaunty osprey
#

@potent pivot if that does work in pvp

#

we def run 2 set 2 set

#

LOL

grave basin
#

2pc for 4% verse is kinda insane

#

There are some 4pcs that are worth that much in pve

marsh folio
#

so brand new to pvp, returning wow player. Question. With all the focus macros, and abilties etc etc. How do you guys prevent a ton of keybinds usage, or do you just bind your entire keyboard? E.g. a normal kick usage keybind, and then a seperate focus kick keybind

marsh folio
#

ive got a 12 button MMO mouse, so thats a good start

potent pivot
#

Can also use modifier macros to have something on the same bind but with shift, like

#

If your Kick is on E as an example, a modifier macro for shift-E to Kick your focus

#

Rogue is really keybind heavy in pvp

#

You don’t really have to get into focus macros and stuff until your more comfortable imo

#

Like if you’re still relearning stuff, it can be good to add those in later once you’re comfortable playing etc

languid ravine
marsh folio
#

Oh ive been mythic raiding with my mouse for years now

severe helm
#

these are what my mouse buttons are

severe helm
#

you can essentially macro keybinds

#

mostly just saves bar slots

#

but its a nice paradigm

#

imo

marsh folio
#

what would ths macro accomplish

potent pivot
severe helm
#

my mouse buttons are kick, cheap shot, sap, gouge, disarm, blind, kidney, focus, etc

#

if I hold shift

#

all those buttons target arena 1

#

alt is 2

#

ctrl is 3

#

and nomod is focus

#

so I can really easily target anyone in the arena without actually targeting them

marsh folio
#

oh so u essentially have 3 keybinds saved on one slot

#

thats pretty cool

severe helm
#

yeah

potent pivot
#

Arena1/2/3 macros will cast spells on whoever is arena target 1, 2 or 3

severe helm
#

it can be a lot to get used to

#

but whenever i play a new char its super easy for me to adjust to arena 1,2,3 cuz I always followt his pattern

potent pivot
#

I don’t use that kinda shit

#

I use modifiers for focus version of spells

severe helm
#

Yeah I just hate swapping around my focus if I need to use something on someone else

#

I always keep focus on healer

potent pivot
#

And I have /target arena1/2/3 on binds themselves

severe helm
#

yeah I have tar arena1,2,3 on scroll wheel

#

but then I have to target the person then swap target back

marsh folio
#

im lost

#

scroll wheel to target people?

severe helm
#

yeah scroll up is arena 1, mid click is 2, and down is 3

potent pivot
#

You can bind scroll wheel to anything

potent pivot
#

Very underrated keybind

severe helm
#

I have shift scroll set to interact with mouseover

#

for those flag pickups haha

marsh folio
#

waaaai waai waaaai, how do I do this. targeting 1 2 and 3 with mouse, macros right?

potent pivot
#

I’m still not settled on what to keep on scroll wheel tbh

#

I change it up often

marsh folio
#

so maybe for now

potent pivot
#

/target arena2

#

Etc

marsh folio
#

get used to having CCs on mouse?

severe helm
#

its just built in

potent pivot
#

Get used to playing without any of this shit first

marsh folio
#

and then standard 1,2,3,4,5 and shift 1,2,3,4,5 for damaging anilities ?

potent pivot
#

Get a solid foundation of how to play your spec

severe helm
#

yeah the mouse arena ability thing isnt something Id recommend to start with

marsh folio
#

currently 1 day into sub rogue and i can burst up to 1.8M dps with 652 pvp gear

#

is that okay?

marsh folio
#

id usually have q e for defensives

#

Im a former Cutting edge player so im not completely useless

#

pvp is way different tho

potent pivot
#

That’s fine if that’s what you prefer

#

Just saying that those are good binds in general

marsh folio
#

yea nice

#

i never use z, could get used to that

potent pivot
#

Some people also unbind S in pvp

#

And use it for spells

marsh folio
#

thats so smart

potent pivot
#

There’s no real micro adjustments of positioning needed

marsh folio
#

cuz backpeddling i remembered was frowned upon

potent pivot
#

Moving slower is basically always bad

marsh folio
#

Okay ill start my rebinding processes now

#

wish me luck sirs

potent pivot
severe helm
#

Ill never give up backpedal

marsh folio
#

@potent pivot update, after really checking thru the spellbook. take away un necassary abilities and really focus on the stuff u need for pvp, its not that much. ive got everything i need abilities bounded and got a few binds leftover for macros now. thanks for the advice

grave basin
#

I can finally delete those macros

tacit juniper
#

Do you guys know if this can be used on crafted items if they have the "increase ilvl in pvp combat" modification?

languid ravine
#

yes works

tacit juniper
#

ok that's pretty huge

old dome
#

Iam a bit lost now regarding gearing.

#

2 set (chest and shoulder), conq weapon (2.5k conq achiv), BT cloak, bracer and gloves is what iam having atm.

#

Any pointers with this weeks reset?

#

Conq helm, and socket it?

trail ice
#

think 2 set should be the hat and gloves first

#

jewelry is good to get as soon as you can I think

#

it has the most bonuses

Upper row defensives, midd row offensives, lower rows utility (vanish, ss, target enemy etc).

I just use 6. Can’t force my self to use all 12 🫠

#

and it feels weird to press last row with my grip

stoic spruce
#

Don't listen to the "MMO mouse is bait" nonsense

#

Go through every channel and you'll never find something more wrong

#

36 binds at the press of a thumb

#

Somehow bait

Been using a Naga for about 12 years, absolutely love MMO mouse for not only WoW

stoic spruce
#

I use it for everything yeah

gleaming sentinel
#

I have a 20 dollar Walmart mouse

hidden moth
#

Need to work out more of it is

hidden moth
#

I rebound the keys to be 1-6 on f keys so I can still use 1-6 with my left hand on keyboard

potent pivot
#

low weight mice are kinda popular, like ~30grams etc

#

but thats more for FPS games n shit

#

you aren't flicking your mouse nearly as much in wow compared to other games

hidden moth
potent pivot
#

yep

#

there's a reason there's such a big market for MMO mice

hidden moth
potent pivot
#

its because they work well

hidden moth
#

12 keys

#

48 technically when u add in the shift alt ctrl mods

#

That’s before even considering mouse wheel tilt and scroll etc

potent pivot
#

Yep

#

I barely use modifiers on my mouse binds even

#

Kinda prefer modifiers on my kb binds

severe helm
#

It's not necessary but it is very nice to have

#

There's plenty of r1 level players who have never had an MMO mouse

#

But many of them do

safe pelican
#

R1 without a mouse is mental , thats nasty work

#

Then again i did get 1600 SS using a MacBook touchpad with no mouse lmaooo , i cannot thank the person who recommended the naga to me enough

#

Last row grip does suck though +1 on that but it gets the job done

jaunty osprey
#

too lazy to change my binds that i’ve been using for 10+ years

alpine tinsel
#

did mages get an extra blink or did I just happen to que into good ones twice lol

supple pulsar
#

Some r1 didn't even use mouse

#

I mean at least 1

severe helm
#

No mouse as a modern r1 would be pretty rough I think

stoic spruce

Trackpad r1 soon

cold stratus
#

hi, are epic battle grounds bugged right now? When joined one, I got a loading after a few minutes, after that I could not move anymore and stuck and ported out after a minute oO.

stoic spruce
#

That's a new one

#

Does it happen everytime?

cold stratus
#

it happend twice

#

once at the start of the bg

#

maybe after a a minute of playtime

#

in the second one, after 5 minutes

#

then the bg was suddenly over

#

allthough it wasnt

safe pelican
#

Keybind players , MMO mouse players & keybind + MMO mouse players

I have a a shit ton of binds and only has my naga for 1-12 cause i couldn’t figure out the alt/shift modifier & i like it better this way never was a fan of hitting alt or shift but i should prob learn don’t have as many years on wow as you guys lol

why is our elite set the only non purple set?

keen canopy
#

yeah when i first saw the sets revealed i thought that the non-elite set was the elite set and vice versa

#

since the colors

stoic spruce

Kinda tired of the color schemes being the same

So WW gonna eat the nerf bat or what?

They are miles ahead in dps

do we go 4pc assa?

potent pivot

no ones really tested yet

worth noting that the tooltip is wrong, its 10s duration not 4s

does lens proc from stat\5%dr gem?

tender ember

no

potent pivot

And it will proc

last jasper

u mean secondary stats?

potent pivot

It doesn’t proc from the blood gems

Think it has to be an onyx/sapphire/whatever

I'm gonna cosplay the guy who complained about wpvp gear vender and say 'how the fck I should know which one is khaz algar gem"

potent pivot
#

Yeh it’s a bit misleading

last jasper
#

30min q's. last two were full melee lobbies

#

~40sec average per round

at this point blitz or skirms are more fun

noble venture
#

Does assa play 4set?

potent pivot
last jasper
#

I’m so glad I play undead. With the amount of trash micro cc. Sometimes I feel I’m a healer and not a dps.

#

No wonder ppl prefer watch classic and not this

hoary ginkgo
#

stalker still better than trickster on sub?

stoic spruce
#

Ego gets it

potent pivot
#

Trickster can break cc

#

It’s decent into melee cleaves because of nimble flurry but breaking cc can be a little annoying

exotic dove
#

For me as of right now if a spec has Deathstalker I play it

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just play what you like

vocal surge
#

I am

#

very very sneaky

#

While out of stealthed, I "stealthed" (by walking) up to a tauren warrior

#

and stealthed behind him as he hid behind the reeds

#

and he tried to go to Ruins

#

and I clapped him

#

Then while capturing Quarry, I 100 - 30'd a BM hunter before the other warrior there noticed the PvP combat

#

Mind ya, I picked up the damage power up that was under the hunter lol

#

and he didn't notice until last second when he camo

#

as im right on top of him

halcyon timber

A proper fking as the kul tirans say

dark kernel

raw chasm
#

just starting pvp, have pve experience in assa and sub, which would you recommend for solo shuffle and blitz

#

i have 4 set

potent pivot
#

if your 4set is low pve ilvl its prolly not worth using

raw chasm
#

1 piece heroic 1 piece myth 2 piece champion

potent pivot
#

champ is kinda low

#

would just run 2 set

hoary ginkgo
#

stats loss not worth set bonus

#

2pieces are enough for sure

potent pivot
#

well we're not sure if we run 4sets yet

#

but champ track is def too low to be worth

Whenever you're in a depressive episode, do you notice you play better?

When I'm super down and can't move, my skill is increased tenfold

mystic pasture
mystic pasture
stoic spruce
#

Yeah I just wanna know if others experience it as well

mystic pasture
#

Which part? Being in such a depressive state that you cant move? Or playing well when in that state?

#

I would answer no to both of those though

stoic spruce
#

The second one

#

I have a lot of theories but eh

#

There's gotta be a way to harness it without putting myself through that

mystic pasture
#

I guess i cant answer the second because i dont experience that level of depression.

stoic spruce
#

Imagine bro messages me and asks if I want to push and I say "hold on lemme flush my favorite fish" or something

#

It's probably because my brain is less active idk

hidden moth
#

will dfa cancel casts on me?

stoic spruce
#

It will not

#

It's got iframes though so it might not hurt you if they land a cast

#

That might just be for cc tho

grave basin
#

Bois what's the verdict for sub / Assa 4pc

stoic spruce
#

They still cooking

#

I hope they cook soon because I want to reroll

either way its probably a wash to use it or not use it

how come theres no free crit weapons for rogue whats going on

in other news I finally got my 2 set from this weeks conquest cap increase

#

next time I need to actually plan my shit out xd

placid jasper
#

What is the reason top outlaw rogues run OH dagger?

indigo hill
#

Faster poison application.

trail ice
#

is that facts or a guesstimate

gusty hedge
#

i run double swords etc on my fatebound rogues, and OH dagger on 3 Of my Trickster Rogues while other trick rocks double sword

trail ice
#

its probably about the stats the dagger has aswell

#

more outlaws are going crit route too

#

the swords have vers mastery? dagger crit vers or macr haste vesr

gusty hedge
#

i got diff stat builds for all rogues including mastery builds full crit etc, all slap when bursting 100% only builds that feel off are the ones i have with no haste or haste that's under 8% in pvp combat

trail ice
#

should you pay attention to your stats pre pvp scaling

#

think om at 16% crit 14% haste pre scaling

#

then 19% crit and I canr remember the other amount for haste

gusty hedge
# trail ice should you pay attention to your stats pre pvp scaling

not really unless u tryna pve. u can hit a dummy with pvp gear to see where you're at. you might have around almost 18% haste in pvp combat minus the 10% from stealth. seems like your stats are good rn( guessing from own exp) if your vers is close to 30% or at 30 ur goood

trail ice
#

think its over in pvp

#

I just wanna get over 20% crit so I'm gonna switch out one more piece to crit

#

Can u stack dr from fejnt and evasion?

dark kernel
#

They changed it in dragonflight

stoic spruce
#

It's 1000% normalized

dark kernel
# stoic spruce It's normalized

Wasn't that with the old mastery we had in Shadowlands, and then they changed it to a fixed person tile. I am relatively positive that changed with the outlaw changes in dragonflight

#

Because if not, we would absolutely prioritize too slow weapons with the killing spree damage currently. The poison application is not relevant

stoic spruce
#

Was normalized back then too

#

Has been for a while

#

Idr what patch but yeah

#

!oh

#

Aw

#

I should've bet money first

# stoic spruce

I wonder what the fatal flourish difference is for daggers vs swords. Do we have to use a script to see it or does tooltip update with equipment changing?

anyone else feel like outlaw is laclusting in arenas right now

It definitely doesn't have the burst or consistent dps of warriors, WW, or frostdk

#

Feels a bit better than ret minus the utility.

ill stick to blitz then, not worth trying to play 2 different specs

especially when outlaw uses barely any mastery

@potent pivot thinking about some stuff with aff assa 3v3 since I’m not running into energy issues at all with the 3 of them being dotted, should I just drop tea for the extra cp or more points into supercharger

#

Or just pop tea for when I kb\ death mark.

gusty hedge
jaunty osprey
jaunty osprey
#

Supercharger doesn’t feel too good with aff assa

jaunty osprey
#

especially if you face melee + caster comps

severe helm
#

The only thing that is affected by weapon speed is poison procs

jaunty osprey
#

Supercharger with tea is fine, but not with forced induction for aff assa

#

You COULD run one Vanish and keep forced and tea, but that’s only for advanced players

#

you only lose one vanish for the entire game

#

and if your meld doesn’t bug, then you’re chilling

potent pivot

I’m not using forced induction either just 1 point super charger

Are you running kb with assa aff

It said it normalizes but Notrickz said later it keeps the proc rate identical

#

So much of this shit isn't explicit in tooltips or even on wowhead, but the numbers will change with equipment which is why I even said anything but it's fine.

stoic spruce
#

I said what he said

potent pivot
#

thats what normalizes means

stoic spruce
#

And what mewo said

dark kernel
#

Man I am not giving a history lesson right now

potent pivot
#

if a proc is normalized for offhand that means it is the same for either offhand

dark kernel
#

Right, but that has not always been 100% historically accurate and Blizzard being small Indie company

True

#

But this time, it somehow is.

double its initial damage and maybe make the dot do 50% more than it is now thx

@potent pivot tf

this the build in the pins and it still takes kb

i got the build u linked though, thx for the help

potent pivot

It also very clearly says 11.0.5

In the pin

hidden moth

then why is it still pinned/ not updated

hmmmmmm

It’s also still perfectly playable

"no build for assa or outlaw bc nahj said "sub should be the only pvp spec for rogue bc outlaw is a warrior in a pirate hat and assa is wana be aff lock""

Nahj and Kalvish literally said yesterday "running gloomblade makes killing a totem in one attack easier" as the rational for doing it

Rogue has good build diversity rn

build diversity is

something that im not used to

#

most of the time i run into cookie cutter stuff where all but 1 point is spent and thast 1 point is for 1 of 2 almost useless choices

People tend to overplay the difference in builds

As of yesterday a few people don't run subterfuge anymore

Some people are doing trickster sub again

If I hadn't have talked so much smack about sub I'd reroll because I like shadowblades but now I can't because I'd be a hypocrite

is this just bad lobby for assa?

hey, how much vers is everyone aiming for this season? trying to make some gladiator vs crafted decisions

potent pivot
potent pivot
static blaze
#

damn, Im over

potent pivot
#

like in season 1 we mostly stayed around 20-25%

#

because the secondary stats on gear inflates each season

#

this season its just going to depend on how far into mastery we get

#

but likely ~25%vers ish

static blaze
#

are the DR on mastery something to care about for assassination?

potent pivot
#

to a degree yes

static blaze
#

or can I just hyper-stack it lol

#

ah, rough

potent pivot
#

mostly hyper stack

#

but

#

what decisions are you trying to make rn exactly

#

we don't really have enough conquest yet to be trying to game it much

static blaze
#

fair, Im at like 31% vers rn so I think Im gonna go for some crafted gear and give up a little vers for more mast

potent pivot
#

your honor gear/crafted honor gear barely matters

#

sec

static blaze
potent pivot
#

the only crafted conq gear you should really have right now

#

is neck/rings from the free 9 herladries

static blaze
#

Ive got 1 ring, and both daggers, about to craft the neck

#

used the free heraldries on daggers

potent pivot
#

why

#

thats a huge waste

static blaze
#

saving my conq weapon tokens for outlaw later

potent pivot
#

i see

#

well

#

you should know

#

offhand weapon is very useless

#

its the last slot you upgrade

static blaze
#

oh well, lmao

potent pivot
#

just trying to give you the info

static blaze
#

wait, you mean for outlaw, not assassination, right?

potent pivot
#

so you don't do it again next season lol

#

no, for every spec

static blaze
#

doesnt assassination care about OH cause of mutilate?

potent pivot
#

nah

trail ice
#

anyone here busy? and can watch a vod of mine

potent pivot
#

we only get real damage scaling off mainhand weapon

trail ice
#

I'm pretty confused when it comes to arena's would like pointers!

potent pivot
#

mutilate is the lowest damaging spell assa has

#

and we use fan of knives way more than mut

static blaze
#

I do ALOT of my combo point gen with mutilate

potent pivot
#

its a very common misconception

#

about the offhand i mean

#

its basically a stat stick

#

but yeah

#

if you can hit 2 or more targets, fan of knives always

#

sometimes even 1 target

static blaze
#

if you had to break down your combo point gen in terms of what % of combo points is mutilate vs fan of knives, what would you say?

potent pivot
#

if you/they are kiting

static blaze
#

just like, rough guess

potent pivot
#

uhh

#

like

#

80-90% of combo point gen is fok basically

#

these days

static blaze
#

jesus, ok

potent pivot
#

try not to break CC with it

#

is the main thing

static blaze
#

Ive just been using it when I have Clear the Witnesses procs

potent pivot
#

thats fine on 1 target yeah

#

fan is just more energy efficient and even on 1t it isn't that much less damage than mutilate

#

the problem is

#

fok combo point gen sucks on 1 target

static blaze
#

fuck dude, this is such a deeply ingrained habit, idk how Im gonna break it

#

Ive been spamming mutilate for literal years

potent pivot
#

so on pure 1 target you'd still mutilate mostly, without CtW proc

static blaze
#

Im never doing pure 1 target

potent pivot
#

yeh

static blaze
#

I play shuffle and RBGs lol

potent pivot
#

try to copy ivan's gear

#

as much as you can ig

#

conq spending has been for tier set mostly up to this point in the season

static blaze
#

is there a reason to prefer the glad daggers purely stat-wise?

#

or is it just a question of access?

potent pivot
#

wdym

#

the weapon tokens are free so like

#

you gear way quicker if you waited for them

fair

they even added mast dagger to the vendor finally so like

there's no downside

I just downloaded it cause someone told me to

weakauras do a bunch of different stuff

but the most common thing is icons to track buffs or cooldowns etc

trail ice

ok I think I fixed it

potent pivot

but is the resource bar still showing buffs how its supposed to?

#

or is just just completely off

trail ice
#

Its on

#

Its better blizz nameplates

#

Wait nvm

potent pivot
#

personally i would just turn the whole thing off

#

and use a proper roll the bones tracker

trail ice

How do I get roll the bones tracker

import that string into your WeakAuras addon

doesn't come up for me

#

quick question, if sub rogues are meant to be better at single target burst and assassination better at cleave/short range aoe, why are sub rogues outperforming assassination in blitz according to murlok.io?

orchid delta
orchid delta
#

if needed, can also solo kill enemy FC in 1 stun chain while keeping healer/dps in cc

#

overall just gives more control

undone atlas
#

Fellas, how would a homie whos never pvpd before begin that side of the game as rogue

static blaze
orchid delta
#

so let's say 4 ppl in on ur FC

#

u are alone with a FC

#

u can buy extra 10-15 sec by simply cheapshotting them

#

multiple times

static blaze
#

oh sweet

#

makes sense

orchid delta
#

but for me sub is harder than sin

hidden moth
static blaze
#

could just be that Im used to sin tho

orchid delta
#

u have way more clicking

#

and faster clicking

#

than as sin

hidden moth
#

Clicking?

#

Ur clicking?

orchid delta
#

"using abilities"

hidden moth
#

So

#

“Higher apm”*

orchid delta
#

whatever it even means, u get a point

static blaze
#

yeah, having to keep track of symbols, dance, and shadow blades feels like a lot

orchid delta
#

yes

static blaze
#

especially when they have different durations, recharge and CDs

hidden moth
#

Way I see it is tea is just symbols blades is death mark

#

Or shiv is symbols which is more accurate than tea

orchid delta
#

maybe my advice won't be the best but whenever I wanted to try new dps class

#

I use for a while Hekili addon

#

play for a bit on dummies, random bg's arenas

#

to get used to rotation

static blaze
#

that would be a godsend, I thought it was just for pve

hidden moth
#

I doubt it has PvP

orchid delta
hidden moth
#

Prob just a “here is pve rotation now pvp it up”

orchid delta
#

yes

#

but it gives u info how to do dmg as sub and handle cd's

#

overal

#

l

static blaze
orchid delta
#

I mean, I've never play sub

#

ever in my life

#

before this season

#

and im 2.4 in blitz

#

and I learned with hekili

#

rotation

#

so it can't be that bad

static blaze
#

when I was running some training dummy rotations on sub it was really scratching that "big number" itch

#

so I wanna give it a real try

orchid delta
#

just in time u will learn that sometimes more dmg doesn't not mean better

#

as sub

#

so I would go like this hekili -> play with it, learn rotation etc. -> try new things, situational ones

#

-> perfect it

#

and here we go

#

How is fatebound doing for assa at the moment ? is it going to be better with 4 set bonus ?

hidden moth
#

Dunno yet about 4 at

#

Set

static blaze
#

honestly, Im just running 2 set cause it seems like everyone else is

hidden moth
#

Won’t know for a week or so

#

We run 2p dunno bout 4

static blaze
#

my instinct is that 4 set would be such a minor improvement that it wouldnt be worth giving up the vers or mastery

hidden moth
#

Also no idea on fate bound I’m used to death stalker and

#

Deathstalker is the assa hero talents flavor wise so

static blaze
#

having played outlaw for the entirety of last season, you couldn't pay me to play anymore RNG based specs

hidden moth
#

Yeah deathstalker almost 0 rng

static blaze
#

at least outlaw minimized the *randomness with the combo point gen and haste allowing you to spam insane amounts of finishers to get coin flips

lilac wedge
dark kernel
#

I'm starting to pull up on damage. I should have 4 set next week so we'll see.

#

4 set strength could be real volatile for us.

lilac wedge
#

isnt outlaw 4 set substantially less dps then ass and sub considering its all rng?

#

or does it even out when you hit the nuts

dark kernel
#

So it's not quantifiable easily. Because it gives more dice it technically gives more CDR

#

So we get more AR more Vanish, more evasion

#

But it's just RNG dependent

lilac wedge
# vocal surge F

i feel i have no go on damage unless i roll the nuts with AR up

#

just consistent to a point i guess

#

might be just me

vocal surge
#

im 2064 in 2s

lilac wedge
vocal surge
#

But ye, climbing up past 1600s is a CC game

#

and +1900 is a DPS + CC race

#

Once you cross into the 1900s

#

You're fighting multi-glads and R1s

dark kernel
#

It's kind of RNG in 2s and matchup dependent.

#

1900 game last night I got the new map against a WW/rsham and wanted to gouge my eyes out

#

ROP/stormed off the top over and over.

#

If you go against some shit like WW/Disc you just lose in dampening 9/10

vocal surge

WW in general is a loss

guaranteed on a platter

ive had some luck with WW, but they pump

I guess for 1600 theres a chance, just not in 1900+ bracket

Depends how good you are. 2s can be less stressful, but if you already have high MMR in shuffle you only need to play like 5 rounds for 1800

Does vers go beyond 30% or capped there?

potent pivot
#

no stats are capped

Thee are stat drs though

Like 100 vers is 1% but after u have 20000 vers it’s a 110 vers for 1% etc

ye but DRs rarely matter

hidden moth

True stay values addon will display them but tbh going into the first soft cap won’t affect much

potent pivot

most people see DRs and think they should never push past them etc, but in reality they just don't matter

hidden moth
#

Yeah it’s not near as bad as souls games stat drs

potent pivot

like usually in season 4s we have so much mastery we pass every DR breakpoint and sit at 'true cap'

which is like 126%

hidden moth

God damn

Does stuff like tea let you go past

potent pivot

idr

#

percent based stat abilities don't DR, but idr if they work passed cap

#

i want to say they do not

hidden moth
#

My thought is if they don’t then u would run like

#

126 is cap but yea gives 8.6%???

#

So u try to hit 8.6 below cap so u are at cap with tea and get one other stats

how do you even play Sub when enemies have disarm?
pls explain it like I m a 2.5 rated assa so no complicated language
