Speaking of which

#

Get your warrior and ret sets soon

#

Nerfs inc 💀

noble venture
#

Even more of an argument against Outlaw

potent pivot
#

Outlaw has great set up

#

So not necessarily

noble venture
#

Sure, I agree, but the damage profile isn't very bursty

potent pivot
#

Ye it’s about enabling your team mate to do more

noble venture
#

It's a tough sell when the other rogue specs can do this AND damage

potent pivot
#

But they don’t? lol

noble venture
#

I feel they have much more damage

potent pivot
#

Nah

#

Assa does more overall but dies

noble venture
#

So you agree with me then

potent pivot
#

Sub does the same overall and has burst that’s very easily dealt with

noble venture
#

Burst is stronger than pad damage in my experience

potent pivot
#

Outlaw damage isn’t pad

#

Unless you’re BFing pets

noble venture
#

It's most certainly not very bursty

potent pivot
#

All 3 rogue specs are basically in the same tier right now

noble venture
#

We disagree, that's ok

potent pivot
#

We’re still seeing outlaw in awc

#

So

stoic spruce
#

We also saw dk

#

Fdk

potent pivot
#

When was that kekdog

stoic spruce
#

I got the clip

#

It was so bad

#

Was with mes

potent pivot
#

We haven’t seen assa even once have we

stoic spruce
#

"They just take 0 damage?" Lmaooo

potent pivot
#

Yeh

#

The game isn’t even really about burst rn

#

People just flop

#

Even outlaw can take a frost mage 60-0 in like 2 seconds

#

It just takes the proper play being made

#

Ice wall, smoke bomb, etc

stoic spruce
#

Disarm applies Sting still

#

Thought that was funny

#

Been thinking about taking it into casters but anytime I'd need it, dfa would be much better

wanton breach
stoic spruce
#

Real

potent pivot
#

Blizo has also been doing it

wanton breach
#

how is that not*being fixed and punished

potent pivot
#

💀

stoic spruce
#

Mes playing Fury now

potent pivot
#

But yeah

wanton breach
potent pivot
#

The warrior has 2 separate Berserker Shouts

#

1 for himself and 1 for team mates

wanton breach
#

is that bug exploit which causes him to take 0 damage?

potent pivot
#

Nah

#

They can have the regular zerker shout and the pvp talent zerker that breaks team mates out of fear

#

At the same time

#

Instead of only having 1 of either

wanton breach
wanton breach
potent pivot
#

berserker shout is regular talent

#

berserker roar is pvp talent

wanton breach
#

oh I learned something

#

wtf

#

that makes it even stronger

dark kernel
#

Ret/war is insane right now

#

Games take like 7-8 fucking minutes and they always have defensives

vague summit
#

I assume it'll be nerfed soon

hollow carbon
dark kernel
#

Fury needs gutting.

#

Spear is insanely strong now with how much damage output is.

hollow carbon
#

Idk why they don’t gut so many defensives from ret when they have more range than evoker basically

hollow carbon
quaint cedar
jolly sierra
#

agree, ret defensives are good af

#

3 lives + a 20% dmg reduction than can be used stunned and reacts to attack back to melee hits + an explosive shield

hollow carbon
#

That ret can use every or most of their def utility while being CCd is the biggest offender. Such babies, as you can tell I have a deep hate for Rets and I am always happy when they are bad tuned dmg wise

jolly sierra
#

also, did you watched how they buffed their biggest damage sources this week?

severe helm
#

and its popularity also probably encourages blizz to make them forgiving

languid ravine
#

why everyone who writes an essay after game about why actually I was flaming falsely instantly logs out afterwards?

#

cowfarts

safe pelican
#

Rogue still getting shitted on this week ??

#

My finger is still hovering over the resub button once we actually get a buff lol

dark kernel
#

Pretty solidly middle of the pack. Sin is going to be our meta spec

lost axle
#

BoP, INSTA PURGED. Bubble, INSTA PURGED, Divine protection? Actually alright. LoH, INSTA KILLED

#

Nah I thibk you just suck

dark kernel
lost axle
#

No, sir shanksalot is my dearest rogue

hybrid palm
#

Could someone please explain this kill log to me , I got one shotted 100 to 0

harsh kiln
#

negative ray

hybrid palm
#

What's that

harsh kiln
#

ray of hope absorbs all healing or damage, whichever is he highest at the end gets dealt to you

#

so if you take more damage than healing when you have ray of hope on you

#

you'll take all that damage as one hit at the end

hybrid palm
#

Wow, how am I encountering this now

#

It's aug spell?

harsh kiln
#

priest

hybrid palm
#

Ok

#

So my healer needs to heal me more than damage I do during this?

harsh kiln
#

he needs to outheal the damage done to you

#

during it

hybrid palm
#

Ok

#

Thanks !

lost axle
#

Yeah, all healing is increased by 50% with ray of hope too

#

So you could chug a lil vial with this too

spring bough
#

go to log onto my DK and get "character not found" well okay then ill just fk off blizz

#

if i wanted an ally hunter. what class you making it. human, kul tiran, night elf or dwarf

spring bough

gnomes way too small can they even be hunterrs?

jolly sierra

they uses their pets as mounts

#

lol

spring bough
#

loving the fact the special races start at 10 get to skip an hour of leveling

#

uhh why does my gun not make OG classic gun sounds anymore lol

stoic spruce
#

It takes you an hour to get to level 10?

spring bough
#

to go thru that exile reach? takes a minute

stoic spruce
#

I only did that for mogs

hybrid palm
#

If I win , can my match making value fall ?

jolly sierra
#

i hate my monk dude

#

it got at 1k6 mmr cuz is a newcomer in blitz

#

and now is hardstuck at 1k4

#

got very pathetic players

#

one was healer and got afk, blamed me because i didn't waited for healing, well, approach me then when i got the flag

#

dude, i hit ppl and dies insta

#

its really noticeable

raw chasm
#

anyone got a link to a good 11.1 guide for ass PVP? or sub, honestly .

grave basin
#

I have serious elf fatigue tbh

#

I might faction change and go dracthyr or something

#

Any1 on horde? Do you get wpvp constantly

Is it fun

#

Being dominant faction is so boring

#

Like 95% ally

stoic spruce
#

Ye it's pretty fun

noble venture
stoic spruce
#

Yeah the crates are rough

last jasper
#

What’s wrong with horde? All my toons are horde. I’ve never seen ally to cap a war crate

exotic dove
#

Depends on the layer/shard (whatever they call it) I play both factions and I got it on my Undead Rogue before servers went down. I could be lucky on my Horde Rogue but so far it doesnt seem as dominant

gusty hedge
#

warcrates for horde def gotta join nacho party crate farm or get lucky in the off hours in the morning when ally are asleep

calm roost
#

I see more ppl going 4p as sub, is this personal preference or its huge ?

potent pivot

If solo shuffle queue pops but gets declined multiple times , it's probably a win trading group right ?

potent pivot

#

Yoo chads i have a question

#

I have a toon in moonguard and one in sargeras, on the former the war zone is empty af compared to the other which is wack cus i like wpvp

#

I was wondering if someone from sargeras invited my moonguard toon in a party from lets say dorn

#

Would i be phased in their sargeras cluster

jolly sierra
#

you can't lfg here dude srry

river pollen
#

If i went to say undermine

#

Thats not what i want

river pollen
#

I already have ppl for that

potent pivot
#

afaik RP realm characters cannot be phased to other realms

river pollen
#

Damn

#

Thanks anyway

potent pivot
#

only the other way around

severe helm
pastel burrow
#

my argent dawn character is regularly yanked to russian servers for M+ groups

#

so if someone from sarg invites you it should work the same

spring bough
#

logging into seeing legion timewalk is amazing. easy levels for this dark dwarf hunter i got going

river pollen
#

i wanted to do some wpvp while farming rep in um lol

river pollen
#

is it the loss of mastery that makes it not worth it

Lol was typing that in search, wondering if i should craft full mastery goggle or 50/50 mastery vers mask

#

guys what should I do 1st? Upgrade my world pvp gear (675) to conq (678) or upgrade my haste trinket from honor (665) to conq (678)?

jolly sierra

stoic spruce

Dear night elf sub rogue I killed

#

I will camp you

#

He got away nvm

#

There he is

#

I hunted through the ENDS OF THE EARTH (Hallowfall) and he's under my control

jolly sierra
#

chaotic evil

stoic spruce
#

Something about death knight makes me feel like a hunter and the night elves are my prey

wanton breach
#

just saw that in trills stream

gusty hedge
#

ahh shit more aug gameplayventhyr

last jasper
#

Don’t stress. There is like 2.5 ppl playing Aug not for content

river pollen
#

idk what happened to sub rogues recently but im not doing nearly as much dmg on ppl

#

feel weaker with better gear

#

is it cus everyone else is geared to the teeth or did they nerf rogue dmg

#

ooo new builds dropped lemme see

#

gloomblade seems like a nice idea

#

cus a bit more focus on constant dmg now rather than burst it seems now

gusty hedge

#

Played some matches last night and tried going back to fatebound.

#

The shit does not do damage in the slightest. The double hook barely helps into mage

last jasper
#

This cooldown manager. Even an Indy company would’ve done it better. Did they even touch it since ptr release?

indigo hill
#

Doubt that. Not exactly a customizable feature.

last jasper
#

Yeah, me too. It's not bad, but damn — on some specs it's so bugged. Like, it literally doesn't track a single buff or shows spells I don't even have

potent pivot
last jasper
gleaming pawn
#

I just hope it doesn’t end up like the resource bar, partially done and forgotten. I want to actually use the new cooldown manager

jolly sierra
#

i love the autoattack bar wow classic has for a countdown

#

it helps a lot with slam

#

in warr

jolly sierra
#

most healthy skirmish DM be like

last jasper
#

I'd be mad if they end up removing it, since I’ve been using it to track Dance and other stuff ever since it was introduced

noble venture
#

Maybe I'm wrong, but it reads like an insult from someone who's English isn't their first language, which is OK of course...

#

But I feel they get such fresh perspectives on the insult game

harsh kiln
#

Tbh insults like that are really funny. They're instantly quotable

#

Stupid boy

stoic spruce
#

Newt gets is

#

S tier insult

#

I'm using that

fresh ermine
#

is outlaw cringe now?

#

should i play ass or sub. altho i see they share stats

lavish idol
#

I've usually played as outlaw due to laziness and pvp being a last min season thing for me to do, aiming to get to 1.8k usually. I feel like it's tough right now, only around 1.6k. My dmg is poor

potent pivot
gleaming sentinel
#

The 20% cdr nerf is def felt in a shuffle setting

potent pivot
#

Personally I always gear my first rogue as assa/sub because they share stats tho ye

fresh ermine
#

am i better off playing something else? just for ease of pushing

potent pivot
#

Depends what you’re good at

#

If you only have exp as outlaw you’re probably still better off playing it if you just want like a quick 1.8k

dark kernel
lavish idol
#

What's the general spec/hero track used?

potent pivot
#

For what

#

Assa? Deathstalker

lavish idol
#

Outlaw in solo shuffle sorry

potent pivot
#

Fatebound

fresh ermine
#

probably just gonna roll sin

#

i have exp on sin the other two are harder to play anyway right

lavish idol
#

HO Fatebound?

gleaming sentinel
#

Assa seems consistently decent in all content lately, i want to try it

potent pivot
lavish idol
#

I find that it's fine if I'm not targetted, but if I am, it's an absolute mess

#

Maybe I am treating it too like PvE and tryiong to keep AR up max

potent pivot
#

Gotta learn how to deal with it if they target you

dark kernel
potent pivot
#

In most comps if they target outlaw they’re fucking up

potent pivot
#

Basically the exact same as pve, but using more cc

dark kernel
#

Yeah, and fatebound may be meta but I still prefer trickster especially in shuffle

lavish idol
#

I think I am playing fairly well doing cc and so on, applying pressure to heal... but my damage is just terrible usually

dark kernel
#

Fatebound damage feels so absolutely ass

#

And yeah Garretta, outlaw damage is pretty dismal unless you get good rng

lavish idol
#

I don't think the point is contant dmg like some classes, but dmg wise it's where I am lacking

potent pivot
lavish idol
#

I get some serious criticism from my team mates 😄

potent pivot
#

Outlaw’s damage is lower than everyone else’s

#

That’s just how it is

dark kernel
#

Your right, it can situationally be very good

lavish idol
#

So tell me why to keep pushing it, isn't another spec just a better option

fresh ermine
#

lol i did

potent pivot
#

You’re there for the control mostly

fresh ermine
#

200k dps first game on outlaw

potent pivot
#

If your only goal is 1800 and you only know outlaw

#

I don’t see a point in trying to learn something new

#

If your goals are more long term, or 2400, I could see it

lavish idol
#

Yeah I heard you, just... i feel it's an uphill battle and same old thing every season, so might be worth a go some point but trying to justify to myself what Outlaw actually brings to the table

dark kernel
#

You gotta figure it out and it kind of takes time.

#

When you learn to roll dice when not doing damage and you use your vanish as your stun DRs are coming off so you can maintain AR and pool a bit into a CC chain

#

It starts coming together

lavish idol
#

So same as PvE, I feel it's the hardest spec in general, but can work if you get it right

dark kernel
#

I did like 250K DPS week 1 of the season. I'm pretty consistently at 600K to 1M during high damage encounters

fresh ermine
#

in pve i was starting to get the hang of it

#

but arena is a whole nother ball game

#

and im in greens with lfg partners

dark kernel
#

Yeah unfortunately outlaw plays a decent bit different in pve so it doesn't carry over as much

#

You spam a lot more blade flurry

fresh ermine
#

yeah

#

i figure that

#

but the general rotation i had down

lavish idol
#

I personally avoid LFG arena and just solo shuffle

#

I find it easier to learn from others, my own mistakes, etc

#

Plus people willing to give advice if it helps them win their round 😛

#

btw I am using talents preemptive manuver, sb and disarm in general. In caster only, what's the best alternative?

#

I'm usually taking the sprint one

stoic spruce
#

I guess kir does with deft

potent pivot
#

the tricks talent is pretty good

lavish idol
potent pivot
#

depends on the comp

lavish idol
#

I guess there's plenty of stuns flying around too, healers also

stoic spruce
#

It actually has kill pressure

#

It's also easier

dark kernel
grave basin
#

another hour of

stoic spruce
#

Yes I know how deft works

grave basin
#

maint

stoic spruce
#

Just take a nap

dark kernel
#

I need to raid undermine on normal

#

Lfr seemed pretty fun

stoic spruce
#

Also bf is your number 1 damage regardless if you sapm it or not which is crazy.

dark kernel
#

You are correct but I'm pretty sure every guide, sim, or meter lends to using BF on cool down as prio

stoic spruce
#

For kir ye

fresh ermine
#

solo shuffle is lame when you dont know how to play or dont have gear

dark kernel
#

It's legit been a minute since I did pve, so I'll have to see.

fresh ermine
#

cuz if you ruin your rating your scuffed forever

dark kernel
stoic spruce
#

Yeah deft for ho is borderline useless in pve

fresh ermine
#

i was stuck 1200 on my preservation when it came out

potent pivot
#

that's not how that works

fresh ermine
#

try getting out of low rating

#

when your stuck with people who dont know the game or do no damage

lavish idol
#

Yeah I think that's my issue atm, the other people suck 😄

#

and all they look at is the dmg meter at the end

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Well

fresh ermine
#

doesnt matter if you heal good if your team cant kill anything you still lose

stoic spruce
#

At 1200 you can hard carry a 6-6

lavish idol
#

It was same last season, I struggled to get out of 1500 and then when I got 1700 I got 1900 in the same night

fresh ermine
#

as a healer atleast

dark kernel
#

Yeah I find the 1800-1900 rating is the dice roll area right now where people are on fresh alts with 1 game played or have 500 rounds.

stoic spruce
#

@potent pivot me when I noticed the assa rogue in my lobby cloaks on opener

#

(He's already dead and doesn't know it)

lavish idol
#

To this day I don't understand how the mmr works and fresh alts are in those brackets

potent pivot
#

if you 6-0 your first lobby you're likely going to be put around 2k mmr

lavish idol
#

ah is it that drastic

potent pivot
#

just depends

#

i don't think i've ever been under ~2k mmr in shuffle this expansion

#

even on a fresh alt

stoic spruce
#

Yeah it's crazy

dark kernel
#

I don't know where fresh character MMR is right now, I've seen some at 1750 some 1800

#

Last season the very last week, people were starting out 0-0 at 2050

potent pivot
#

yeah pretty sure you could 3-3 your way to 2k

#

very last week

stoic spruce
#

Nah I tested it

#

It stopped at 1736

potent pivot
#

wdym

stoic spruce
#

Last season

#

I purposely went 3-3 every shuffle

#

To see how far I could get at the end of a season

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

New character and everything

#

In FACT

#

I did this on my brother's account who has a whopping honor level of 0

#

Big ol goose egg

#

I have no idea if it changes every season nor do I want to find out

#

I imagine it does but I'm not doing that again

potent pivot
#

ye inflation is always different

#

because its participation based

#

and some seasons they articially inject more inflation, some seasons they don't etc

stoic spruce
#

I lied, I'm going to try again.

lavish idol
#

Generallt in RBG the HO outlaw also works?

#

I guess for FC maps more emphasis on the def part

fresh ermine
#

what assassin comps are good

#

rps and rmx

stoic spruce
#

Ho is prefered

potent pivot
fresh ermine
#

whats meta rn

#

ret war

#

ele feral

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

lots of ret/warr ele/dh mage/feral shit

#

if you're gonna play assa in 3s just play with whatever you can get

lavish idol
stoic spruce
#

That's why I take shiv and aoe blind

#

Since I can't vanish, I'm not worried about damage

lavish idol
#

I feel like blind lasts about 0,5s in any situation haha

stoic spruce
#

Vs gouge that only effects one person?

dark kernel
#

Sin/afflock/druid or priest is super good

stoic spruce
#

It's not going to save you but it'll buy you precious time

#

For others to stop fighting mid and come help

#

(They probably wont)

grave basin
#

i know cause ive been doing it for the gallagio rep

#

NA UP

last jasper
#

this patch is getting better and better

potent pivot
#

or compensated in some other way

#

because they weren't great in pve to begin with

last jasper
#

or this

severe helm
#

Yeah this patch is pretty rough

#

Very embarrassing if youre a dev at blizz

dark kernel
#

I can't wait to listen to Summertime sadness for the next 3 months

last jasper
#

Idk about dev, but looks like qa had no clue there was even a patch coming lol

gleaming pawn
#

That’s because there is no QA team anymore

fresh ermine
#

what sin comps are gud

dark kernel
#

Sin dk, pres

fresh ermine
#

nice what about

#

sub

dark kernel
# fresh ermine sub

Rmp still, the comps still work but less good. Rogue/Dev/dpriest is actually pretty nutty.

#

Sin works better with aff, sub with destro

fresh ermine
#

SIN OR SUB FOR 2S?

potent pivot
#

just play whichever you want

fresh ermine

thanks for the tips

i miss 2 vanish tho

karmic summit

do we have corruptions in pvp?

potent pivot
karmic summit

are they not up yet?

hard compass
#

Think visions are due 21st may? Corruptions will come
When they’re released

karmic summit
#

thats nice

potent pivot
#

they're all worth like ~3% dps in pve

#

might even be nerfed in pvp

karmic summit
#

i hear corruption i get bfa ptsd in pvp

#

i hope they arent that stronk

potent pivot
#

they aren't

#

they've already been tested and calculated etc

karmic summit
#

noice

potent pivot
#

blizzard even buffed all of them

by 181%

because they were barely worth +1% dps

im having fun with this xpac

but i havent gamed since legion/bfa/s1 slands

#

i kinda regret not staying subbed

#

to slands and dflight

#

but slands multiclassing was aids

gusty hedge
#

Bfa was a time to play even tho most didnt like best time to wpvp since MOP/cata( Last season of bfa corruption was dumb af) slands had a decent story mode/progression. The Wpvp was also nice in korithia /zereth mortis . Wonder if they'll be bringing back the void enchant/ old/new cosmetics when they drop corrupted visions

dark kernel
#

BFA motorbike trinket, corruptions, bomb trinket and shadowlands

fresh ermine
#

me too. i only really enjoy tasty flavory seasons

dark kernel
#

Seasons like this one are considered balanced, but come find me after you spend all night playing vs ret/war, Thundercleave, and a touch of shadowplay

fresh ermine
#

PEOPLE say to me all the time I need to stop playing vengeance dh. but i wont listen

dark kernel
#

That's a devious activity if you're playing that in arena, unless you're talking about Blitz

fresh ermine
#

im just memeing

#

is shadowplay bonkers? i havent played into much of it

dark kernel
#

Yeah shadowplay has been giga strong since dragonflight

#

And both Spriest and Afflock are solidly flying under the radar as S tier maybe S-

#

One of my buddies is a top SP on NA and like all season 1 and 2 they kept giving them small buffs out of nowhere for pve, when they were already good. He was losing his mind. They finally nerfed them, but like by 3%

waxen meteor
#

SP benefits from pve a lot

#

SP always sucks on pve so they got random buffs that benefits pvp lol

dark kernel
#

Yeah exactly and when they are cranking they do 2 million dps in arena

#

I've been playing with an afflock that can consistently hit 1M and he's only half geared

waxen meteor
#

I think SP was quite broken beginning of this season

#

Cast on melee face

#

And melee dies

dark kernel
#

They haven't gotten any nerfs, they're just slightly weak to fury

waxen meteor
#

Now I think SP is okay, affl is probably also not S

last jasper
#

Yea, afflock is so good to play. Specially with 4 set.

waxen meteor
#

But you sort of have to leave one of them open

#

The problem is when you leave affl open damage is crazy

dark kernel
#

Brother Aff is GIGA busted it is just that a lot of shit that domes it is also good

#

Like fury and hunter destroy aff

waxen meteor
#

Yeah problem is mainly warrior

#

There are 462810582 warriors on the street now

dark kernel
#

It's like fury is S++ right now so it makes everything else look shitty when it's not

waxen meteor
#

And ret is also super good dmg

dark kernel
#

I legit think almost every caster right now is God tier except fire mage.

waxen meteor
#

On top of war itself

dark kernel
#

Boomy is like the second worst caster and it's still A

waxen meteor
#

You probably right with at least one spec

#

I saw even Aug has some one shots now

#

Just nobody plays that spec lol

dark kernel
#

Yeah aug is cancer. Tbh both DPS evoker specs are

waxen meteor
#

Just 4628299583 warriors each lobby

fresh ermine
#

my holy priest gear isnt good for shadow dont think 😦

potent pivot
#

as long as you have purple gear q it up

fresh ermine
#

just wanna be an optimal gamer

#

😦

potent pivot
#

people tend to worry about whats 'optimal' too much

#

when in reality these things only change damage like 2-5%

#

have seen people hit 2.4k in mostly green gear

fresh ermine
#

lols

#

25 minutes in que for solo at 0 cr

#

on my new ele

slow dawn
#

Nobody heals in pvp cause you just get told you're throwing

fresh ermine
#

actually had some fun healing yesterday

#

just in real 3s with decent people

#

healing solo shuff at low cr is just annoying

quasi zephyr
#

hey friends, do we have any guide recommendations on rogue pvp? wanting to try out assa and looking for a place to start on how to play deathstalker, what setups look like, etc

potent pivot
#

can read the wowhead pve guide or iceyveins guide to get a basic understanding, but ignore the builds/gear mostly

quasi zephyr

What stats are pvp outlaws going for atm?

potent pivot
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
#

10-15% haste > vers > the rest crit

fathom spade
#

thank you!

potent pivot
#

but vers is outlaw's best stat

#

so mostly conq gear is good

#

check what most people use

fathom spade
#

yea just wasnt sure if we were still goin for haste or if something had changed, been gone for a few months

potent pivot
#

yeah you need the some haste for the reduced GCD during ADR

fathom spade
#

mastery builds still a joke?

potent pivot
#

if you already geared for assa/sub and you just can't stand not playing outlaw then do what you do ig, but yeah

fathom spade
#

yeah sadly i just end up gearing for outlaw than can never try the other specs lol

dark kernel
#

What were the odds

glass hazel
#

you play same spec twice? :x

potent pivot
potent pivot
glass hazel
#

nah i just play 1 rogue 😄

#

30-40m q the best

potent pivot
#

I always try to do 2 bare minimum

#

1 for sub/assa 1 for outlaw

glass hazel
#

might level one since there is buff to exp rn

potent pivot
#

Leveling is pretty fast rn yeah

#

Especially if you already have the +25% from having 5 level 80s

#

It’s almost 1 TW dungeon per level from 70-80

glass hazel
#

nice

potent pivot
#

77-80 is like 1.5 dungeons per give or take

#

I think we have another darkmoon fair starting this weekend too

#

I’m probably gonna level an Evoker finally

glass hazel
#

yeah they blast

#

but gameplay so boring like 3apm

potent pivot
#

It’s basically the only class I’ve never tried

#

The only classes I don’t have at lvl 80 rn are warlock and evoker

glass hazel
#

i never played shamans

#

like ever :x

potent pivot
#

But my lock is 60 from SL

quasi zephyr
#

fire breath for the dot, eternity surge, then disintegrate until the heat death of the universe

potent pivot
#

Enhance shaman is fun

quasi zephyr
#

that's evoker gameplay lol

potent pivot
#

And ele is quite good atm

dark kernel
#

Now I get to push

#

I still have one rogue no sockets

#

Takes a long time when you play 1 game a day

spring bough
#

bout to level up a few alts with these xp boosts

dark kernel
#

I'm going to make a priest and absolutely aids everyone's shuffle

#

I'm going to try healing and I've never done it in 20 years

potent pivot
#

from what i hear playing SP in shuffle is aids in itself

stoic spruce
#

Play a tank

dark kernel
potent pivot
spring bough
fresh ermine
#

why is SP aids in shuff

potent pivot
#

just get wrecked and annoyed depending on comps

fresh ermine
#

lol

quasi zephyr
#

anyone have any tips or a solution to me running out of keybinds when using subterfuge? my stealth actionbar looks a lot different than my normal actionbar and i'm wondering what the best course of action is so i can still use my finishing moves while it's active

potent pivot
#

the only thing that should be different is Ambush replacing Mutilate

quasi zephyr
#

so don't judge, but currently my bar looks like this:

Mutilate, Garrote, Kidney, Envenom

and my stealth bar is
Ambush, Garrote, Cheap Shot, Sap

the issue i'm finding is that when i have max combo points, i can't evenom bc it's sap if i'm just out of stealth. my rupture is on a different bar so i can make use of that right out of stealth

jolly sierra
#

move sap out to another key then

#

the idea is to match the abilities

#

and assa has not too much buttons to get lost

quasi zephyr
#

yeah for sure

#

ok cool ty. easy enough. i wasn't sure if there were ways to have it be dynamic or anything

potent pivot
#

you'll thank me later salutege

quasi zephyr
#

i know in ages past i used stealth/nostealth macros to have things adjust

#

but yeah that's the easy and obvious choice. appreciate the input

jolly sierra
#

that would be complicated if would be like warrior in classic, as they has different abilities between stances

#

for example i have a macro to disarm and switch to defensive stance at same time

severe helm
#

tbh

#

cuz youre so often the kill target that you dont get trolled as much by people dying with like turtle and both walls up

#

its up to you to live

#

gives you more control imo

jolly sierra
#

i really hate SS sometimes

#

when the guys next to me dies randomly

#

lit u lift your watch and someone dies in 2 seconds

#

from 80-0

hybrid palm
#

You can keep a macro that uses ambush in stealth stance n mutilate in normal stance

potent pivot
quasi zephyr
#

learning warlock in s1 was legit the most miserable experience of my wow pvp life

#

i was used to mage where you could blink around and kite and escape

#

locks have circle and gateway and prayers

#

and are the kill targets 85% of the time so it was just getting absolutely reamed by warriors and dks that i couldn't escape from

severe helm
#

like being a mage as the kill target

#

a good mage is unkillable so if theyre choosing you then youre in so much control of the game

#

Sp you do heavily rely on your healer having good throughput though

#

much more pleasant at higher ratings

#

but I think most sps make the mistake of actually trying to run

#

sp is the least mobile class in teh game

#

you arent escaping any melee

#

just stand and blast

#

only thing you can do is pull them into bad spots to force their healer out

dark kernel
#

Yeah SP is literally about standing still in good spot

quasi zephyr
# severe helm much more pleasant at higher ratings

i found this with warlock. once i got out of like 15-1600, every single comp stopped being warrior/ret or warrior/dk and i was able to work on my skills and refine my playstyle without just flailing around while i inevitably died

dark kernel
#

There's an SP literally named "Iwontmove" who's a multi glad 2700 sp

#

Who just stands in one place

jolly sierra
#

if i got close, he just tp away and traced the line again

#

was ridiculous

hybrid palm
#

Idk, I feel I should say this I've been complaining about SP not being killable since beginning of season. You can do sec tec + two dances with 2 darkest nights, they will not die

#

N of they fade or whatever it is they do, you miss important hits n gg

#

If*

dark kernel

Do you pvp on all those or what...

gusty hedge
#

not each one now tho haha more like 7 or 8

#

rest chillin in s1 gear

dark kernel
#

Okay. Just checking if you're still sane

#

I know people that if you give them enough gold to boost a character to 80, they'll do it and they'll park the character at whatever MMR you are to play with them

#

Just to have tons of alts to play on

fresh ermine

potent pivot

It’s strong af

potent pivot

ayo wtf

#

@severe helm

severe helm
#

wait

#

what

potent pivot
#

new pvp ilvl for gear

severe helm
#

why...

#

thats super weird

potent pivot
#

to compensate the new pve ilvl

severe helm
#

ooooh

#

makes sense ig

potent pivot
#

so you don't use pve gear in pvp

#

ya

severe helm
#

cuz otherwise pve gear would be better

#

yeah

#

sure why not

#

lol

#

kinda doesnt change anything ig

potent pivot
#

pretty much yeah lol

#

everything's just going to hit a bit harder

dark kernel
jolly sierra
#

should we gather pieces again?

potent pivot
#

Nothing’s changing

#

Our gear is just going to be 6 ilvl higher

grave basin
#

Atleast blizzard was fast this time

#

Pve side of things looks like a complete shit show though

#

Increasing pve ilvl and crafting ilvl seems like a scummy way to increase player retention ngl

potent pivot
#

Yeah people are big mad

dark kernel
#

Okay

#

What youtube video do I watch to get the quick rundown on Disc priest arena

jolly sierra
#

i thought we needed to get it again xd

potent pivot
#

can u imagine people REEEing if they had to buy full gear again

spring bough
#

what are yall thoughts on this turbo boost bs

#

seems like a way to extend the season... maybe season 3 has some hiccups in the pipeline? Lmao

potent pivot
#

i don't think this season looks like its going to be any longer than season 1 so far

#

definitely seems like a small way to nerf pve content more

#

not sure though, its kinda weird

gleaming sentinel
#

learning rogue on outlaw and then trying out assa, its really jarring. the effort to win games or do good dmg in m+ is a lot lower

potent pivot
#

in m+ they're similar skill ceiling

#

its just a lot easier to do passable damage on assa in m+ even if you don't know the minmaxes

gleaming sentinel
#

i believe that

#

im def far from optimal on either

gleaming sentinel
potent pivot
#

the big thing is upkeeping bleeds when they fall off after your initial IC application

#

because bleed build is now the play in m+ you get a lot of damage from sudden demise

#

but ofc you should be consuming darkest nights and casting envenoms in general for spatter damage

spring bough
#

45% inc xp is insane right now getting like 3-4 levels a run lol

severe helm
wanton breach
#

wdym new bleed build

severe helm
#

Knowing you can KS safely alone is harder than all of the assa rotation

severe helm
#

In m+

potent pivot
wanton breach
#

oh you are talking pve

potent pivot
#

not talking about skill floor, that is obviously very different

severe helm
#

Ah sure yeah ceiling I could see

#

Ceiling is hard to identify tbh

wanton breach
#

caustic spatter in pvp confused me

potent pivot
#

i feel like people sleep on spatter in pvp ngl

#

obv its kinda niche because it requires deadly or even dtb

#

you can parse in team fights tho XD

wanton breach
ionic orbit
#

Are we supposed to use algari pieces? which ones, and how do you get the legendary ones?

potent pivot
#

no one has legendary gear this expansion

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

what spec are you asking about

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

ah ye purple is just "epic"

potent pivot
#

you just copy the most popular algari pieces

wanton breach
#

mastery maxin

potent pivot
#

and you craft them with the Prized Gladiator's Heraldries at the crafting order NPC

#

which posts your order for players to craft for you

#

you should really search and pvp gearing guide on youtube

do heraldries disappear after a certain amount of time? I've never done a single craft yet I seem to have no gladiator heraldries anymore

potent pivot
#

watch the whole thing, it mentions crafting at the end

potent pivot
#

you would have to vendor them or delete them or something

wanton breach
potent pivot
#

you should have 9 heraldries at least

#

if you've done any pvp this season on the character

#

you get a quest that rewards 9 of them

#

from winning 1 BG or a few arena matches

slow dawn

If i geared for outlaw but want to swap to sub is it fine to just throw on some daggers or am i cooked

maybe you have the quest sitting in your quest journal

hang on

#

you don't see the gear as purple

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

on the NPC

#

it shows as green until you add the heraldries

ionic orbit
#

This shit is confusing when you're coming back to the game after 14 years

potent pivot
#

you also need missives to choose the stats

#

and embellishments

#

do not forget to craft embellishments on 2 of the items you craft

#

if you've been playing without those you're losing out on like 2-5% extra dps

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

it doesn't matter which pieces you put it on

#

but

#

it requires you have at least 1 stat gem to proc

#

so you need to have a socket

#

you know how to socket gear?

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

by using the purple herladries as part of the craft

#

hang on

potent pivot
#

all of the materials you use can be rank 1 as well, the cheapest versions

potent pivot
#

like the cheapest missive here is rank 2, thats fine. it doesn't effect the pvp item level of the craft

#

the Harmonious missive is vers/mast

#

the rank 2 focusing lens is also the cheapest

#

you need 1 missive for every craft you do

#

you need 2 focusing lens

#

i usually craft 2 rings and put the embellishments on them

#

the 9 free heraldries are enough to craft 1 neck and 2 rings so those are usually my first crafts on every character

#

sub only uses neck, rings, and boots as crafted right now

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

a lot of people are starting to run 4 set on sub

#

and regular conquest helm is fine to use if you don't want to commit to 4 set yet

#

no reason to craft that slot really

#

crafting a tier slot like that means you lose the ability to turn it into tier if you wanted to later

#

just to trade like 300 vers for 300 more mastery, its really not worth

ionic orbit
#

Naturally I just bought the gladiator amulet, and upgraded my gladiator rings already that I'm supposed to replace 😅

Were from season 1 not 2

and I used these season 2 heraldries in down to 2 left now

potent pivot
potent pivot
ionic orbit
#

are those season 1

#

?

potent pivot
#

so yes

#

the ones on the bottom are season 2

#

you must have used the ones on the top which are old, from season 1

ionic orbit
#

fuuuuucck

#

well there's like a 1500g mistake

#

Again thanks for the help. This stuff really is very confusing for returning players. I just put in another crafting order and made sure I clicked the season 2 heraldry.

potent pivot
#

Things are definitely a lot different now even compared to a few years ago in Shadowlands

ionic orbit
#

actually cata

potent pivot

Regular PvP gearing wasn’t much different than back then in SL

You just bought everything off the vendor

#

Didn’t have to pve at all though really

low moon

does anyone have any recommendations for youtube/streamers for outlaw blitz/shuffle POV?

potent pivot
low moon
#

assumed as much :/

#

on that note, can i play sub with sword in the OH? i cant remember XD

potent pivot
#

usually whaazz will play it

#

but even he's been playing sub shuffles lately i think

potent pivot
#

slow offhands are very bad for sub

low moon

oh true forgot about combo point generation until you said slow oh lol

potent pivot

ye

energy and combo points

bout to rip with the ret for the first time in shuffle this season

I hate rogue 3s right now might hard pass it rogue seem horrible or LFG is just not the play

Sorry was just venting

What sub rogue rotation do you guys do without flagellation? I've always used flagellation but thought I'd try going without

how is it a ret in almost all pvp greens does top dmg lol

#

ret feelin too wicked

potent pivot
#

I think it just comes with a good understanding of how to do dmg

#

I did the same on my monk in greens kekdog

spring bough
#

i guess me lmao

#

im just hitting the rotation i learned off a video and when it all lines up the dmg just smokes people lol

#

seeing as its also like 3 buttons it makes it ez lmao

potent pivot
#

Yeah

#

I feel like green gear isn’t all that bad to start with either

#

652 compared to 665/678 and you can mostly pick good stats too

feels like a wep doesnt even matter to rets lol

It's just not good

any idea if an event like panda remix is in the works again? would love to crush some old raids with infinite power lol

dark kernel

Even better infinite scaling M+

spring bough

Sounds like it’s gonna be hot. Wonder if they bring back artifact weps for it lol

dark kernel
#

Hey it's remix so I wouldn't care.

#

I actually played mop remix until I could solo everything and I carried SoO M

#

Was fun

wanton breach
#

we will see how they will handle it

#

would be fun to have potential magetower

dark kernel
#

There would not be mage tower appearsnces

#

We already know

#

So don't get your hopes up

wanton breach
#

There could be some recolours of the artifact weapons tho

#

magetower or otherwise

dark kernel
#

That's true

stoic spruce
#

Not datamined

spring bough
#

does this mean we can g et mage tower artifact appearances again

#

i hope so

potent pivot
stoic spruce

Recolors probably

spring bough

i cant wait to get the ghostblades

and the rapiers for the outlaw one

stoic spruce

idk who that is but i love her

stoic spruce

She's one of the HBICs

#

One of the top dogs

spring bough
#

mage tower better be like the centerrpiece

#

gimme them artifact recolors and appearances i thought were never coming back lol

stoic spruce
#

I doubt the real artifact appearances are coming back

#

Just recolors

potent pivot
#

they were pretty adamant about not bringing back any challenge mode gear or recolors

#

so i highly doubt

stoic spruce
#

The outlaw mage tower rapier is mid anyway tbh

potent pivot
#

assa mage tower appearances are insane i wish we would get them

#

i just don't see it happening from this weirdly stubborn company

dark kernel
#

I legit played legion for 1 month total

stoic spruce
#

Also let's not pretend we wouldn't just one-tap the mage tower bosses anyway lol

potent pivot
#

you can still go do the SL mage tower

stoic spruce
#

I imagine it scales to max lvl

potent pivot
#

nah

#

it scales you down to level 45

stoic spruce
#

I never beat it on outlaw

#

They chose the worst raid to do the recolors on

spring bough
#

what other classes have insane mage tower wep appearances

potent pivot
#

i like the rogue MT set

from SL

#

and a couple others

yeah i got that one on outlaw the white fang slayer set is dope

the SL MT only gives a bear form i think, for the tank one

spring bough
#

yeah

potent pivot
#

oh you meant from remix

jolly sierra
#

they will give recolors at max tho

potent pivot
#

yeah, we can dream kek

spring bough

who do i gotta pay to make em bring it back

jolly sierra

but i am very sure legion original ones wont return ever again

alongside the DF s1 tabard its a very threatening xmog combo tho

ppl will run away from u in pvp using both things tho

stoic spruce
#

surely its not because they dont want to pvp

jolly sierra
stoic spruce
#

is that a full set?

#

I wonder why the fashion mob dislikes people using full sets

potent pivot
#

you're not really making a transmog if you just use a full set

stoic spruce
#

I think it should get a pass if its current tier

potent pivot
#

it still looks good and is fine

#

but its like

#

there's no point showing off just a full set because you've added nothing to it kinda thing
