Dk has some stun and blind

#

That’s it

#

Aoe

#

Autocorrection

severe helm
#

they have a silence too

#

they have two aoe stuns and a silence and an aoe blind

vapid field
#

I start to understand this game 😄

severe helm
#

and again they can just kill you flat out through a 50% wall

#

its miserable lol

last jasper
#

Or two stuns and no silence. And blind. That’s it

vapid field
#

Can my bleeds stop some of my cc?

last jasper
vapid field
#

Like blind and gouge?

#

What about disarming?

last jasper
vapid field
#

Oh, it removes the dots?

last jasper
#

Im not sure. Im tilted so i can't be sure

potent pivot
#

gouge has a dmg threshold now so it won't break insta

last jasper
severe helm
#

the effort required to survive a frost dk is significantly higher than the effort required to grip blind and mash frost strike

#

which is why its toxic to play against

last jasper
#

pressing disarm is significantly higher?

severe helm
#

they arent popping their cds prior to you being in cc

#

they aoe blind, then pop cds, then aoe stun, then blast you

#

also dks trinket disarm aggro like every game lolol

#

also they do have 2 aoe stuns btw

#

this and

last jasper
#

so no, they dont have 2 aoe stuns

severe helm
#

good riddance

#

lol

last jasper
#

if they icebound ur stun this is pretty much gg for them

severe helm
#

youre in cc though...

#

all of these ideas youre saying are how you counter any go from any spec

last jasper
#

no, this is how u counter dk. its just a noob stomper

severe helm
#

like someone saying sub is hard to survive against and you say "just disarm them"...

#

lol like

last jasper
#

this why there is literally 1 glad fdk rn

severe helm
#

I didnt say fdk was op

#

I said it was toxic to play against

last jasper
#

define toxic?

severe helm
#

I already did lol

vapid field
last jasper
# severe helm

So anything that requires less effort on the enemy’s part than on yours is toxic? Seems a bit dramatic

severe helm
#

well theres a threshold

#

but yeah generally yes

#

in a pvp game

dark kernel
#

Frost DK is the sub rogue of Dk, it just does it to 3 targets at once

severe helm
#

^

#

with an easier rotation

last jasper
#

it does this usually once

vapid field
last jasper
#

cuz he beraly live for the second go

severe helm
#

maybe if the fdks didnt ibf and trinket offensively theyd live longer lol

last jasper
#

they pretty much dont leave against any phys damage

severe helm
#

yeah fdk has many problems, not saying its good just saying its toxic haha

#

very unfun to play into

last jasper
#

i disagree

#

frost mage is toxic, devo is toxic

#

I would say chains of ice is the only toxic about dks

narrow tangle
#

idk i got few of my kills because of that mechanic

last jasper
narrow tangle
#

i mean its minor thing

#

personal preference

halcyon timber
#

Def personal preference, it is a good thing to have as they are never giving back sanguinary vein style stuff. It is optional and im all here for it.

last jasper
vapid field
#

What's a good opener for assa rogue?
Cheap -> Garrote -> Rupture -> Cheap -> Ambush? -> Crimson Tempest (if 5+ combo points)

halcyon timber
#

Dunno, i would ask Jason , Trickz, Panda, or zicore politely when those guys are around

wintry dew
#

"politely"

#

OR ELSE

last jasper
#

i dont get. how is nimble can proc for 2mil when top evis was 1.9. and it should do only 60% of it

jolly sierra
#

why in pallies or dks? because they stuns with magic, so they will be unable to cc you in opener, in contrast to most melees or hunters

#

if you garrote them

vapid field
#

To build up combo points for kidney?

jolly sierra
#

and my bad

#

wait

#

here

vapid field
#

What changed? I'm too tired to notice 😅

jolly sierra
#

kidney

#

if you use it twice it got dropped in duration

#

so instead kidney, now you do an envenom instead

potent pivot
#

Then rupture with the full combo points

#

You can garrote more than once as well

#

To get the pandemic extension, 3 combo points etc

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

Extend silence vs casters as well

jolly sierra
#

rupture isn't needed to be full at opener

#

it does the same dmg anyways

#

and will be refreshed shortly after

potent pivot
#

Just depends

#

I always do 5+ on finishers

#

Especially if you can cleave it

jolly sierra
#

at start?

potent pivot
#

Ye

jolly sierra
#

it takes a little more time

#

u need to be fast

potent pivot
#

Typically I cheap, gar, ambush, rupture etc

#

And extend cheap where necessary

jolly sierra
#

hmm

#

priority is ambush

#

as garrote can be used later

vapid field
#

I will try some of the tips tomorrow

jolly sierra
#

a lot of times i've wasted ambush attempt because i got fucked at the start by one of both melees in the lobby

#

for example i open w sap in the healer, then cheap the melee and then the other one insta ccs me

#

ye, it fucks up a lot w deathstalker

vapid field
#

How much % dmg is deathstalker anyway?

jolly sierra
#

is not just for the dmg, but corrupt the blood and darkest night helps a lot

#

is mostly for utility

vapid field
#

It seems "weak" and I wish the other hero talents were something different than tossing a coin to your witcher

potent pivot
#

its in the range of 10% ahead of fatebound in cleave

plain blade
#

I usually cheap>ambush>ambush>rupture>cheap>cheap>garrote 🤣

potent pivot
#

spreading garrote/rupture asap is big

#

you get your energy refund rolling and most of your dmg rolling

plain blade
#

I usually hunt people in epic bgs tho

#

Like 1v1

vapid field
potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

no

plain blade
plain blade
#

If I’m fighting a warlock i usually exhaust my cheap then i garrote. They usually die with me at almost full hp

potent pivot
#

so thats prolly fine

plain blade
#

Btw. Does death mark increase crimson tempest dmg?

jolly sierra
#

but deathstalker is good for the utility

potent pivot
#

it all adds up

#

singular focus alone can do a decent amount of dmg

plain blade
#

So we have a 5 man rogue team, we hunt epic bg premaders especially their leaders

potent pivot
#

darkest night envenoms are also decent

#

even with regular brain off bleed build darkest night envenoms can do 2m+ iirc

#

envenom based builds can do 6m+

jolly sierra
#

symbolic victory + darkest night + tea + envenom does tons of dmg

#

add even more w death from above

#

at 35% or less HP

#

for zoldyck talent

noble venture

See??? THIS is the shit that drives me crazy in this game. It happens in arena ALL THE TIME. How is this piece of shit not dying to Sudden Demise?? I have 14s of rupture and 11s of garrote on him and he ONLY HAS 13K HP. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

cant decide if I wanta 2nd outlaw or gear my 2nd rogue assa

calm tree
#

Hey im getting into pvp as a newbie mainly for RBGs, can anyone point me to where can i find info on the best specs, talents, openers, tips/tricks?

potent pivot
#

most specs in the game are kept viable these days, you can really just play your favorite

severe helm
#

they didnt think "hey lets make sure that sudden demise kills through cocoon"

stoic lava
last jasper
potent pivot
#

its possible with deathstalker too, just lucked out on shadowcraft proc during CDs

#

he's only playing trickster into some lobbies from what i saw

last jasper
#

Doesn't look like, no mark and no darkest night.

#

or maybe this is okay for flagellation

stoic lava
#

Anyone know any streamers that que outlaw shuffle

potent pivot
#

the pic was trickster ye, i'm saying he was swapping between both afaik and that is possible with both with flag

#

nothing about trickster really juices evis like deathstalker

harsh kiln
potent pivot
#

but mostly in 3s

#

valthepirate streams every once in a while

last jasper
#

Cuz I don’t recall me doing back to back in the standard deathstalker finality build

#

But I could be just bad

stoic lava
#

tyty

#

I need to learn to be less bad at shuffle

#

Everyone perma dr's my goes and I tilt

potent pivot
glass hazel
#

exactly, assa who get disarmed just after stealth or sub who gets it with blades\flag affected way more

quasi thicket
#

Hey guys, quick question — which Rogue spec is currently the strongest for single-target PvP? Trying to focus on 1v1s and small-scale fights. Appreciate any input!

potent pivot
quasi thicket
#

Hey Trickz, thanks forthe answer. I'm really into sub now. is it the most single target focused?

potent pivot
#

none of the specs are 'more' ST focused than the other

quasi thicket
#

Oh I see.

potent pivot
#

all 3 specs can cleave practically for free with their builds

quasi thicket
#

I just thought sub would be the most focsued on st.

potent pivot
#

nah

quasi thicket
#

Well Thank you!

last jasper
#

wonders that u can't stun into precog lmao

safe pelican
#

Sounds like I need to start streaming

#

Challenge accepted just need to get the webcam shit and a better computer bucket list goals for gaming this year get a streaming setup

last jasper
#

she kinda looks good for kids tho

safe pelican
#

Mid tier at best

last jasper
#

but when she asked about precog and alter time. I was like "wuut?"

safe pelican
#

That’s that multi duelist shit lmfao 🤣 think I’m gunna cancel Xbox and comeback to wow i miss rogue

last jasper
#

typical warrior player tbh

#

she is trying to call me out 😄

#

she said she is a good player. thats why she doesn't know about precog

stoic lava
coarse monolith
#

Is there any way to track "flawless form"? Like WA or something
ex) 14stack->6stack suddenly change

#

As far as I know, these have independent durations per stack

safe pelican
potent pivot
#

UB is the one you can't properly track

#

iirc

#

nvm solo already pointed out that you can't earlier ig

#

there's really no reason to

languid ravine
#

I m doing laughable damage on Outlaw, like I wont even type the number coz its so small wtf

dark kernel
#

In a game with a really high uptime, cleave, and somebody dies in the first go or shortly after. I usually pull about 1m DPS

#

In a really long game where I'm getting cc'd out the ass, and I'm struggling to fight for adrenaline rush back up over and over again, usually about 400k

#

And I'm just about average

stoic spruce
#

also people have gear now

stoic spruce
#

its so bad. It genuinely feels like it takes pounds of pressure to press a key when youre out of adr

dark kernel
#

I saw whaazz get to touch an enemy with only 2 seconds of sblades up

#

Lol

stoic spruce
#

sure but thats a completely different problem

#

also its really weird how half of subs abilities are on cdr

#

but not the other

last jasper
safe pelican
#

Pirate really that bad this season ?? We were cooking last season didn’t see any more patch notes that would handicap the spec

#

Preemptive nerf was about all I saw

vocal surge
#

but that applies to all 3 rogue specs

safe pelican
vocal surge
#

Still a big nerf

#

-40% damage reduction to AOE no longer available to us

safe pelican
#

40% was photoshop though that scaling is way to high we knew they would nerf that because Rogue red headed step child

vocal surge
#

What are you talking about?

#

the 40% from Preemptive was high

#

Not the AOE damage reduction

#

AOE damage reduction made sense because not alot of attacks did AOE damage

#

Preemptive was arguably too high for how it gets activated

safe pelican
#

How you gunna say what are you talking about then say exactly what I said 🤣😭

#

🚪🚶🏾‍♂️

vocal surge
#

The only thing I said before you started talking was the shadow nerf

#

aka AOE damage reduction nerf

safe pelican
#

I don’t think you said anything before I started talking tbh except “ what’s the number “ but I hear you

vocal surge
#

That was about your DPS lol

vocal surge
#

Preemptive Maneuver effectively was twice the power of Elusiveness, only requiring to be stunned with Feint up to activate (and an auto attack)

woven niche
#

Hi, im not a pvper at all, but i really like the elite set this season. How much of a grind is it to get the elite set?

woven niche
vocal surge
#

Yes

potent pivot
#

anywhere from like 1.5-2 to 6+ hours

#

depending on queue times and how much you win

woven niche
#

Is that a rank?

vocal surge
#

^^^

#

1800 is required for the Full Elite set

woven niche
#

Okay okay

vocal surge
#

you get pieces of it started at 1200

#

and this can be achieved in any of the Rated PvP brackets

#

Easiest being Solo Shuffle / Battleground Blitz

woven niche
#

Ill screenshot this

#

Thanks!

#

Trickster outlaw rogue >>>>>

dark kernel
#

Arms warrior kind of disgusting right now

#

Despite outlaw being the melee counter they are causing some issues.

vocal surge
#

It was this talk remember?

last jasper
#

oh, yea. I recall

dark kernel
# last jasper wdym?

When you take the elusiveness talent that makes feint reduce ALL damage by 20%, you lose the portion of feint that does 40% damage reduction to aoe

last jasper
#

so is it a nerf or just blizzard being blizzard and fucked up? Cuz the tooltip still says -40% aoe

vocal surge
#

shadow nerf

#

Its not mentioned in any patch notes

#

and on WoWhead has an option in Feint that says HARDCODED

last jasper
#

or some indian junior fucked up the code and literally made it -20 as the tooltip says 😄 instead of adding 20

vocal surge
#

when checked, removes the AOE damage reduction

last jasper
#

@potent pivot is there a way mm hunters remove slows?

#

like constantly

vocal surge
#

Disengage also removes slows

potent pivot
#

they also have a freedom

#

pet freedom or w/e

last jasper
#

Oh, yea freedom

#

I know about cheetah and disengage. But I forgot about freedom

#

just had a lobby were i was hugging pillar as sub lol. cuz no one touched mm

#

and he was like horny about me

#

barely made it 4\2

#

and i felt like I couldn't slow him down

dark kernel
#

After testing a bit of outlaw. Damage does seem really good, it's more just there's a huge room for error with the spec.

last jasper
#

Am I that bad or what u should do with the lobby like this.

#

root, scatter, knockback, root, stun

dark kernel
#

You should almost always be last on damage as sub even with changes.

#

And yeah that's a rough lobby. Lots of waddling.

halcyon timber
#

Definitely not going to get a lot of up time in that. Just have to roll with it.

languid ravine
#

blitz is so funny when your double heal FC dies against two dps meanwhile their double heal FC needs 20 seconds to cross the entire map

last jasper
dark kernel
#

Yeah that works I haven't played sub this patch yet. I played it all last season thi

last jasper
#

i play trickster rn and it does quite a lot consistently. Or I just play it wrong spending to much time in zugzug

indigo hill
#

Anyone know a nice addon or wa to make it easier to see if your healer is stuck in a CC?

potent pivot
#

there's one

last jasper
#

If only it wouldn’t scream and pop every 3 seconds cuz of micro cc

glossy tusk
#

Howy y'all. I can't really find a good source for a sub opener this season. For bursting, are we gouging, kidneying, or cheaping?
I also can't find any current video guides, and last season include stuff like flag, or rupture before the stuns go out?

dark kernel
last jasper
#

not sure about wasting vanish for opener, but this what skillcapp saying

glossy tusk
#

Ahhh, thank you! I'm pretty new at sub rogue, used to sin/outlaw only high enough to get elite sets.

#

Is rupture worth keeping up? Or is it just a nice to have?

austere walrus
#

Literally started playing sub yesterday, so.. I'm noob. But in the CS opener, why would you vanish into CS and then Shadow Dance? Why not just skip the vanish and use CS from your Shadow Dance? :S

dark kernel
#

Whatever information there is wrong

austere walrus
#

Okay

#

So replace step 2 with step 4?

#

Basically

dark kernel
#

Yeah, it kind of just is meant to imply be in stealth

austere walrus
#

Okay then

#

Thank you

spring bough
austere walrus
#

Taking out an early victory here, but I'm 16 games in now and my MMR is above 1800. My rating is still behind

dark kernel
#

The big key. Is you want to make sure that as soon as you press shadow dance, or shadow blades, but you are on top of your target ready to stun them, or they are already stunned.

#

People have weak auras and add-ons that the moment they see those cooldowns pressed they get air horns and they will do anything to stop you

austere walrus
#

Oh, that's good to know

#

About people running WA against it

#

Again, literally started yesterday

woven niche
last jasper
austere walrus
#

Alright. Thanks for the sanity check

noble venture
#

What's the best way to improve at the outlaw rotation? Got to 2.2 last season, but it's just not pumping enough

potent pivot
#

Which gives you access to stealth abilities for a period of time

#

The information isn’t “wrong”

#

Just depends on your build and how you want to go about it

#

PvP is very situational

#

Can’t really follow any strict rotation

austere walrus
#

Fair, but also if it's a killer opening combo, it should probably be very straight forward

potent pivot
#

You follow a priority list and rotational rules basically

austere walrus
#

There isn't much variation in there

potent pivot
#

There is though

austere walrus
#

Alright

#

Well, the list helped me kill people just now, so that's good. Above 2k MMR now 👀

potent pivot
#

If you Dance to start your stun window it can be thrown off by someone CCing you, etc etc

austere walrus
#

Okay

potent pivot
austere walrus
#

No worries, I'm just excited

potent pivot
#

But learning the rules/priorities will take you a lot farther then “do these spells in this exact order” pretty much

austere walrus
#

Knowledge is appreciated

potent pivot
#

Glad you’re having fun tho

austere walrus
potent pivot
severe helm
#

yeah the world of "openers" has kinda faded away

#

the games very dynamic now

austere walrus
#

lumirSnugsDi 🔪

severe helm
#

its more a list of priorities nowadays for most rotations

potent pivot
#

Mhm

#

Like always try to rupture at 5+ combo points and evis at 6+

austere walrus
#

I've played a few different classes/specs, but warrior has been main in PvP this expansion. And that's very button mashy

#

I tend to want to rupture up, and never apply it twice

potent pivot
#

Make sure you’re tracking Deathstalkers Mark and Darkest Night if you’re playing Deathstalker

#

Rupture is a big part of subs consistent damage right now

#

You generally want it up all the time

austere walrus
#

Tracking marks, but not Darkest Night. I suppose I should

potent pivot
#

You just avoid reapplying it during your CDs

#

I don’t think it’s worth rupturing during dance now that they nerfed some of the deathstalker modifiers

austere walrus
#

I play blitz, so long fights are not very common. And so having a high duration on rupture can get wasted

severe helm
#

blitz opener is different

austere walrus
#

Oh

severe helm
#

my buddy who got like 3 r1 titles on his sub last season in blitz opens with gouge actually

#

gouge from stealth->kidney->flag then your normal burst rotation

#

he does run flag afaik

#

reason you gouge from stealth is it gives max cps

#

so you can kidney as your first stun

#

and waste less gcds on dance

austere walrus
#

Hmm

#

Gouge goes on seperate DR, yes?

severe helm
#

but I think most still dont run flag

#

gouge is on same dr as sap

austere walrus
#

Okay

severe helm
#

but yeah its just a small optimization for blitz 1v1s

dark kernel
#

U usually gouge healer or off targets in arena

severe helm
#

if its in a fight with other people you dont want to do that

austere walrus
#

I think I need to cap the amount of information I take it, for practical reasons

#

So that I don't get lost

severe helm
#

but in blitz gouging as your first gcd from steatlh gives you kidney as your first stun instead of cheap so its longer and you can 100-0 people more easily

#

oh yeah then ignore this potentially haha

austere walrus
#

Again, knowledge is appreciated. Just difficult to go from 0 to 100

severe helm
#

yeah just work on your standard opener then until you get that down

austere walrus
#

Yeah, think so

dark kernel
#

How often do you outlaws blow your hook to kidney healer to setup your own CC in shuffle. Feels bad to blow so much mobility

austere walrus
#

I only just learned an opener in the first place 😛

#

But I did kill hard with it

severe helm
#

youll farm back the grapple cd in like 3 finishers

dark kernel
#

Depends on what comp I'm facing

#

It's easy to use it if it's a melee cleave

severe helm
#

grapple has a very short cd

dark kernel
#

But against double ranged forget it

severe helm
#

so as long as you are hitting shit

#

you can use it pretty freely

dark kernel
#

Hitting shit is a huge "if" against shit like destro/boomy/rsham

#

Which was my issue

#

Lots of hook shotting into priest fear or sham root totem too

#

Just feels bad when they're good

vapid field
#

What do I do as an assa rogue if warrior is zug zuging me on the arena?

#

And why are the warriors such a zugs?

potent pivot
#

kite and get them to stack on their team so you can cleave your bleeds

vapid field
#

Alright, thanks

safe pelican
#

I Love running disarm into warriors as well very effective

halcyon timber
vapid field
#

I wonder if I should ditch hemotoxin for disarm instead

vapid field
#

I know I can 😄

#

Btw, those are my talents, would you change anything?

austere walrus
#

I suppose hemotoxin is for offense (securing kills) and disarm is for defense. Maybe that's a way to decide on what you need?

vapid field
#

I love sitting on the healers with the silence on garrote though

potent pivot
mystic pasture
#

I still dont see why hemotoxin is picked when we have wound poison. Isnt it just a 5% difference and only with shiv?

vapid field
#

It doesn't stack?

potent pivot
#

no

vapid field
#

What about sap talent for reduced healing? How does the healing reduction work?

halcyon timber
#

You can use dismantle to prevent usage of die by the sword / enraged regen or whatever by arms and fury or stop a fellow rogue stunning for defense, or use it to eat a nullifying shroud charge off evokers as examples of creative use if other things aren’t available at the time.

potent pivot
vapid field
#

I mean, how does the math work

halcyon timber
#

As soon as Sap / Blind fall off - the target becomes blackjacked just like the old days

#

Potential value of X is reduced by 30%

#

So the target has to amp up greater than that to overcome it, ex: a healer has to put in effort and prob use more expensive things such as CDs and personal amps.

dark kernel
#

I think he is asking is does the healing done reduction from blackjack and the healing reduced effect of wound poison stack

halcyon timber
#

Nope

halcyon timber
#

They do not as that was fixed in df

potent pivot
vapid field
#

oh, I didn't notice

halcyon timber
#

Sp assass days in df got that fixed fast ha

vapid field
#

So they do "stack"?

potent pivot
#

they can't stack because they don't do the same thing

mystic pasture
potent pivot
#

you can never have too much MS

vapid field
#

I mean they, kinda do: 0.7 (Black jack) * 0.55 (5 stacks of wound poison)

dark kernel
#

Plus AOE shiv with henotoxin strong

potent pivot
#

its one of the strongest effects in pvp

halcyon timber
#

Definitely

mystic pasture
#

Ah yeah AoE…

#

Didnt consider that

vapid field
#

When does the counter reset?

jolly sierra
potent pivot
#

it doesn't 'reset'

#

goes up by 600 per week

#

until it is made uncapped later in the season

vapid field
jolly sierra
#

in 1-2 more days depending of ur region

#

600 conq

potent pivot
mystic pasture
vapid field
#

Wednesday for me 😄

mystic pasture
#

Haha

jolly sierra
#

then wednesday

vapid field
#

But thanks. "Next week" isn't a helpful tooltip

#

Now that I know it doesn't matter but still a little bit confusing at first

jolly sierra
#

ah u talk about how reset works

#

ye, its every wednesday in EU

vapid field
austere walrus
potent pivot
austere walrus
#

Alright

#

"The cap increases by 550 each week."

#

I'm not arguing that you are wrong

safe turret
#

It's 600 for conquest, 550 for bloody tokens

vapid field
#

I guess I can have only one gem with this effect?

safe turret
#

yes, only one of the red "meta" gems

austere walrus
#

Maybe the wrong channel for this, but it's only for PvP, so. Some of the UI stuff I built for sub PvP

vapid field
#

Nicely cooked

The journey is far more important than the destination. Too many people get hung up on achievements and crud like that dude.

native cargo
#

can someone explain the conquerors varnish and lacquer, if i have a myth set piece (from doing dungeons and vault) and use them on it, do they go lower ilvl or pve? or do they stay the same pve ilvl then just also raise for pvp?

halcyon timber
#

They increase in pvp to the equivalency of conquest gear as advertised, they do not harm the pve item level of the equipment though.

triple hunter is wiiiild

dark kernel
# vapid field Why?

Well first of all thug cleave is not a great team for rogue, you're righting double hunter every single round which is a lot of damage, but there's also an Hpal which is like the bane of our existence for healers, and rsham is really annoying with displacement and rooting totem

#

Mathematically that's just a shitty lobby to be a rogue. Unfortunately our class likes balanced lobbies

vapid field
#

I felt like shit during that arena

#

I could do 4/6 or 5/6 in some

#

not this one

vapid field
#

Or at least care the least?

dark kernel
#

Warrior goes with everything.

#

DH does pretty well with everything but rogue.

austere walrus
dark kernel
#

The thing is. Rogues typically only pair well with a healer and a caster/ranged DPS and we don't do well with double melee.

severe helm
#

depends on the rogue spec

#

for sub sure

potent pivot
#

apparently chan is gonna be casting part of the awc LuL

but outlaw does fine in melee cleaves

Saw another rogue smoke bomb the stealth detection buff, take it, and somehow managed to sap me. Is that via Shadow Dance?

potent pivot
#

or subterfuge

jolly sierra
#

smoke bomb doesnt shove into combat

#

and ye, u trigger subterfuge if you drop stealth

halcyon timber
#

range the shadowstep sap or los them or be very quick with blind / gouge / dismantle etc. many different ways to handle that Fox, no sweat.

austere walrus
#

Okay. Was new approach for me. But I was also playing above my weight

severe helm
#

if youre defending

#

you want to camp the eye

#

dont take it

#

and be constantly SPAMMING step->sap

#

thats the only way to counter that

austere walrus
#

I see

severe helm
#

stand close enough to the eye so youd be inside a bomb but not so close that you pick it up

austere walrus
#

Seems important to learn

severe helm
#

yeah theres a few subtle things in blitz that you just kind of have to know

austere walrus
severe helm
#

thats why I hate playing rogue in blitz lol

austere walrus
#

My MMR has come down, but reached into 2400-something

severe helm
#

yeah blitz is a good way to get high rating for mogs and stuff

austere walrus
#

1950 is about as high as it's practically meaningful for me to get

#

Anything beyond that is just bragging rights and fun

vapid field
#

Damn, I can't track the dots during pvp. Too many things going at once for me to pay attention to it

austere walrus
vapid field
#

On my targets

#

Tempest, rupture, garrote

austere walrus
#

Clear nameplates without unnecessary buffs displayed, can help

austere walrus
#

Yeah, Plater is the way

#

It's a lot of settings, but it's great

#

Probably some profile you can download that already does what you want

#

There's a bunch of debuffs you cause, that aren't really important to keep track off. So you can set it to only show the few things you really need

vapid field
#

Why did it end early?

#

With the timer on?

#

Are there any good pvp guides online for assa rogue? I'd like to learn more

#

Do these buffs stack?

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.

sub is just so absurdly op when it comes to a 1v1

vapid field

Switched back to assa quickly

severe helm

miserable to play against

#

they should never lose

#

unless theyre dogshit

vapid field
#

What makes them do so?

severe helm
#

theyre the only rogue spec with 0 setup for their stunlock burst

#

and their burst is SO substantially higher than assa or outlaw

safe pelican

Agreed, i love sub i just hate playing around the CDs , Outlaw stole my heart with the CDR that they stole from sub Notok

vapid field

Oh, so outlaw go the talent

severe helm

no outlaw had it before

sub only had cdr on dance and it had the vanish talent

outlaw has been designed around global cdr on all its abilitie sfor a while

Why did they take it from sub?

What addons do you consider must have for pvp?

mages are my kryptonite, cant catch them, but if i dont focus them they can freecast and poly me the whole time

For mages run maneauverability+ death from above + smoke

neat dove

hmm never ran maneuverability might try it

hybrid palm

But if warrior trains you that build, good luck 😄

neat dove
#

usually did smoke, preemtpive maneuver and thief's bargain

#

sometimes death from above instead of thief's bargain

though i guess should have done it instead of preemptive maneuver since double caster usually doesnt stun as much

hybrid palm

It's not fury war, it's arms that's problem

neat dove

maybe ill get problematic warriors at 1950 too 😄

#

so far they dont even berserker rage gouge

hybrid palm

I don't know warrior spells, but they chonk you down

N when you go on arms, they get full parry with a defensive, n I've lost so many rounds sending disarm into that

N disarm gets parried:D

# stoic spruce imagine DFA being useful for your spec in 2025

people will occationally get lucky and DFA a CC or a port and think they're blizzcon champs for it so they play it just to tell people they do. It's like a "yeah I play DFA because I'm just that good I can make insane plays with it" when in reality it's almost always luck and another talent would be better. But it lets them stroke their egos.

DFAing CC is not only luck
