It pumps

#

It's nothing crazy but still

#

I'm not sharing it, I'm just letting yall know that I'll be doing most damage and then doing nothing with it.

#

A pirates life for me

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.

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.

whats the best spec with arcane

I had too good of a day on one of my Rogues today started with a 6-6 a 5-1 a 3-3 then a 5-1 now my qs are 45 minutes funs over

yeah

languid ravine
#

my losing streak continues, I am now losing games where I kill 4 people in one pillar of frost 300-1500 because one Ret cant defend a fucking base

#

last game I had a Warlock who did 10% (!) of my total damage

#

TEN PERCENT

ionic orbit
#

should you use at least 1 bloodstone for the 5% damage reduction or just use a onyx for mastery/onyx? so far i have 3 onyx gems

glass hazel
#

You must not should it's free dr

potent pivot
ionic orbit
#

I'm guessing you can only use 1? 5% doesn't stack?

potent pivot
#

as long as you have at least 1 other socket with a stat gem to proc Lens dmg

#

doesn't stack

glass hazel
#

1 yes

potent pivot
#

correct

Eww I just applied my crippling poison before wound poison by accident 🤮

#

fury in my team killed disc while silence from garrote was active -_-

#

i run follow the blood since we dont have crit in pvp gear

#

just check what people run most on murloc and you should be fine

ionic orbit
#

I've been doing better in solo shuffle lately, growing in rating slowly and steadily. But gosh just TWO bad sets of SS and days of rating progress are gone.

#

Sublety sometimes gets really annoying doing meaningless damage for 30-45 seconds at a time just waiting for shadow dance.

how much does the conq cap lift per week / do we know when its gone? i need 250c for my boots 😦 lol

stoic spruce
#

I'm not running any gems or enchants

potent pivot
#

I’m still keeping it down to 2 sockets on my alts so far

Too many characters to be grinding out that many sockets

That’s dope

#

Does it also show dps in cc?

So I can link it in all my shuffles for the healers?

grave basin

There’s one that does

It’ll show you both even as the other dps

Did they buff rating gains in shuffle? Started at 0 rating this afternoon and flew to 2200 with like a 53% win rate. Seems way faster than usual.

potent pivot

its just more inflated than the start of the season

#

Hello guys! can ia ask what is a best opener for Outlaw Rogue in s2 ?

stoic spruce
#

Damn, was hoping someone would ask about the opener in S1

stoic spruce

Excluding the CCs on healer

Your opener is how you play all game

Yeah this season actually isn't very inflated everyone already quit and so rating gains kind of evapuatate around 2100 in 3s

with sub I open into get full stunned into everyone on me into one shot, any tips how to avoid this?

potent pivot

sucks to use them in the opener

but its better than dying in the ope

try to get a sap and then stun your opener target before opening with damage globals

Has anyone seen one of these show up in shuffle Oldmamraiku-Whaazzileave-Binmex?

indigo hill
#

I dont know who Jrex is.

potent pivot
#

he made the forum post about them on EU

#

this one

#

the guy he's talking about also goes by "Wealon"

#

at first he was just AFKing/trolling/leaving shuffles, now he's started kick botting apparently and already has been banned on other accounts for kick botting in the past

indigo hill
#

I saw that post. Was wondering if he was known here cause i think i saw one of those names pop up here a few days ago.

potent pivot
#

we were talking about him the other day

#

me and @grave basin

indigo hill
#

Yeah, no im not feljrex.

#

I dont play DH.

potent pivot
#

i think thats just some random alt Jrex uses for forums or something

#

i only know him from Whaazz's stream

indigo hill
#

Ah ok, no i'm the first one replying to that post.

potent pivot
#

yeah np

#

just thought it was funny because i knew he had just made the post

#

but in general i think its good to make people aware of people cheating/griefing etc

what skill/talent removes nameplate from hunter?

nah he was running

without it

ye it can take a second to come back

oh

was so confused

thought killed him 😦

then he killed me with double 1.5m flanking

i mean glad mount as earnable would be nice

and for title just different skin

#

I know there is an advantage to having cosmetics available at achievement rating, but a part of me believes having it tied to the participation base and only given post-season actually helped people playing

potent pivot
#

No I mean like

#

Do people under 1600 actually exist?

#

I swear they’re a fairy tale

dark kernel
#

ahhh yeah there are a few

#

I think the player base is like...split into 3 maybe 4 major groups of players

potent pivot
#

But how many of those people just stopped queuing, while their MMR is like 1850?

dark kernel
#

Well like. Even though the game is 20 years old there are a very few amount of new players or PvE players that WANT to pvp or are beginners that are just like...super anxious dont want to queue, or find it difficult barrier to actually get into

potent pivot
#

Idk

stoic spruce
#

How yall look when yall queue for blitz and shuffle

potent pivot
#

They definitely need to rework the rating system

#

And make it into something that rewards playing the whole season

#

Make one of those things LoL has

stoic spruce
#

Like a battlepass??

potent pivot
#

Where u earn points for playing to buy rewards

stoic spruce
#

They could do that with the crazy amount of honor and conquest we get during the season

potent pivot
#

But then also have the coolest rewards behind obtaining ranks

stoic spruce
#

We need a real feasible honor sink

potent pivot
#

Sockets right now ICANT

stoic spruce
#

Lol ikr

potent pivot
#

They’re so unimpactful

#

The amount they cost isn’t justified

#

I like being able to just buy them but good lord

stoic spruce
#

I liked when honor upgraded pve ilvl on pvp gear

#

But the problem with that is that eventually it'd be totally upgraded and you'd have the same problem

glass hazel
#

need some conq\honor sink

#

maybe mounts\pets i dunno

#

cause once you "bis" thats it nothing to spend anymore just pile up on alts

Hey all, do any of you have any recommendations for Sub Rogue pvp creators? Learning the spec and all

This short is from seven months ago, is it still valid?

Thanks for the heads up btw

#

I could go watch his most recent VODs too I suppose

so you'd just evis there instead

anyone know if 2 set or 4 set is better to have for sub pvp?

just wondering if its worth

potent pivot

Personally I think 4 set is worth

#

It’s more burst

jolly sierra
#

dude, kazzak players are the biggest meme in EU

verbal field
#

how worth is death from above?

potent pivot
#

Usually gonna have a better option

#

If you don’t need disarm you can usually take tricks pvp talent

#

If you use a dynamic macro addon so it always targets the other dps, then you can just macro it to shiv or dance etc

#

So it always casts tricks on your other dps whenever you send one of em

#

If you aren’t gonna use tricks then you’d just use dfa

aight

potent pivot

ye i think so

i was using sprint one haha

@potent pivot

What if this is usable in the arena

glass hazel
#

will be disabled in rated

#

300%

#

as any other fun stuff

stoic spruce
#

It's not about the fun

#

It's that its so bad if rogues could do that

wintry dew
stoic spruce
#

Imagine fighting another rogue

#

I'd leave as soon as I queue in

glass hazel
#

tell that person about stealth detect

#

;x

stoic spruce
#

If you get caught by stealth detect that's on you tbh

#

It's not 2016

#

Frankly I'm not a fan of Recuperate in any content at all.

cosmic thistle
#

is sub rogue good pvp this season?

stoic spruce
#

Yes

indigo hill
#

What is the deal with crackling jade lightining on a mw and why can it 1 shot people?

cosmic thistle
# stoic spruce Yes

is assasination rogue good this season or is it playable wanna get 2k rating

glass hazel
#

assa\sub good outlaw meh kekdog

cosmic thistle
#

kay cause iknow assasination rogue spec very good and switch to sub seems kinda meh but if u say its playable i will go with it

wintry dew
#

You can 2k with any spec

stoic spruce
#

Imma be real with you

#

They're all always going to be good. Can they always land kills? Not always but it's really hard to consider a spec bad when it has the toolkit that rogue does

#

However

#

Not everyone wants to be a CC bot most of the time cough cough Outlaw

cosmic thistle
#

havent played pvp for a year but do what can u get conquest from?

stoic spruce
#

Outlaw is not dog

#

Outlaws damage is dog

#

But you don't play outlaw for damage

#

And if you do, you set yourself up for disappointment tbh

glass hazel
#

i feel the same as assa, you top the meter still cant kill anyone like no pressure

#

till like 1.5-2m into fight

#

and bm\fury\balance deplete people in 10-20s

#

augs also today one killed our heal after 15s into fight and its 2k mmr lol

#

Or maybe just a skill issue, it is the second season for me only 🙂 never pvp before tww

#

I feel like rogue only good for secure a kill but can't do anything on its own

stoic spruce
#

In what content were you fighting the priest?

muted torrent
#

Areana

stoic spruce
#

Wpvp, arenas?

#

Etc

#

Shuffle?

muted torrent
#

3v3 Disc priest

stoic spruce
#

Oh cool cool

#

And you were on Outlaw?

muted torrent
#

I opened on him and his hp disapeared. he reacted fast and got off a fear into a big heal so He did not die

#

YEah

stoic spruce
#

Was a ghostly strike in your opener as well as a killing spree?

#

That duo pumps hard tbh

#

You def could've gotten lucky with crits though

muted torrent
#

no. I hit with assasinate, cosumed the double damage piston shot, killing spree

#

the fight went on for 5 min so i lost all that data in my dps meter

#

I feel likei i got alot of crits on the procs or something

stoic spruce
#

Ghostly Strike would've gotten you the kill for sure

#

Sometimes, I run my luck out and win on opener because of back to back crits

muted torrent
#

It was my first fight after respecing and i was shook

stoic spruce
#

Yeah it's few and far between but outlaw popping off out of nowhere sometimes def happens

muted torrent
#

Thanks for the help btw. I literaly only respeced to Outlaw becasue of the grapple hook but after that display of super luck I may stick around

stoic spruce
#

Imma be honest with, as a fair warning. The gameplay is lacking rn because of the restless blades nerf in pvp. If you can somehow stomach that, you'll really enjoy the spec.

#

My mood comes and goes personally

muted torrent
#

I honestly like rogue for the luls so it doesnt hurt me much. Back capping flags and trolling people is where I get my fun.

stoic spruce
#

Outlaw can do that for you for sure

#

I exclusively play it in 2s and 3s so it hurt me kinda bad lol

muted torrent
#

Im jsut stacking vers abd crit for the occational lucky shot but i really jsut spam cc and let my team do the murder.

stoic spruce
#

What about haste?

muted torrent
#

very very low

#

like 4% low

#

Im a two pump chump

stoic spruce
#

And you're liking it?

#

That's very low haste is why I'm asking lol

muted torrent
#

I was playing sub and fishing for kiling blows so I either get a kill off of a opener crit or die trying

stoic spruce
#

Oh I see

muted torrent
#

I see that Outlaw has some pretty good haste buffs though so i actually sit around 20% haste when im in a fight

#

that puts me at nearly 30% crit and mastery with 25% vers

#

Im sure haste would help with the energy issues.

stoic spruce
#

Yeah preferably 10% out of combat

#

Unbuffed

muted torrent
#

But since I play like a kamikaze The opener is really all I care about. Should I give up some mastery for haste?

stoic spruce
#

For outlaw yes

#

Mastery borderline useless

muted torrent
#

Ah ok. last I checked main gauge was about 8% of my damage

#

But only becasue I have alot of mastery and the slice and dice buff gives me 65% attack speed

stoic spruce
#

Technically mastery has more value in pvp because crit is nerfed in pvp but that doesn't really help Masterys case a whole lot because crit is still ahead. Some mastery isn't bad but you should try to keep it to a minimum.

#

Like I accidentally bought and equipped a mastery piece of gear and it didn't hurt anything

muted torrent
#

I was stacking it for Subs %extra damage on finishers. Ill have to swap out some gear

stoic spruce
#

Yeah Outlaw being the only spec that doesn't like mastery is weird

muted torrent
#

Its such a strange mastery too.

#

Rogues auto alot but but it doesnt hit hard.

stoic spruce
#

A special auto attack is how I see it

muted torrent
#

See I love auto builds in other games but wow has so many god damn buttons that white damge is an after thought

stoic spruce
#

White dmg is relatively new as well

muted torrent
#

Ill never not stack crit tho

#

IDC what the meta is

#

I love crit in every game I play

stoic spruce
#

Yeah there are some die hard outlaw mastery stackers here

muted torrent
#

Lol really? Ide like to talk to them

#

I am a meta hater so maybe they could talk me into it

stoic spruce
#

Do you really need to be talked into it?

muted torrent
#

HA

stoic spruce
#

You could just do it

muted torrent
#

Ill stay out of arenas so i dont ruin people games with my bs

stoic spruce
#

You're already on the path

#

You play a rogue

That's your MO

What do we think of this apparent leak?

jolly sierra
#

we discussed it days ago here

potent pivot
#

Some parts sound plausible, others sound dumb

jolly sierra
#

ye, i am a little skeptical

#

they tends to shelter their discussions a lot in a very strict way

potent pivot
#

we've had a few real leaks in the past couple years

#

i've only seen 1 leak that turned out to be people trolling

#

but with this new one coming from fucking 4chan of all places idk if i'd trust it omegalul

jolly sierra
#

4chan its a fkn joke

potent pivot
#

on their videogame forum or w/e

#

but there's no way to tell when they're real or troll KEKL

jolly sierra
#

indeed

#

like pokemon ones

#

but w blizzard

#

idk

potent pivot
#

not long ago we had a tuning patch leaked

#

so its not totally unheard of

#

just have to take everything from 4chan with a big grain of salt

#

we know we're getting seasonal reward rework next season but thats about it

jolly sierra
#

what if in the end its true?

#

would be funny af tbh

potent pivot
#

i really hope it isn't

#

the biggest weird shit is like the glad mount getting better as you rank up

#

and no rewards added to blitz or shuffle

#

elite sets going down to 1600

#

etc

jolly sierra
#

elite sets going down is shit

#

but the mount seems funny

#

i've heard about that idea years ago

#

u would get the entire one for 2k1

#

remember almost no players plays pvp

#

so why should u gatekeep that? xd

#

its still a small niche anyways

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

the argument is based in rated, no casual one

#

barely the 1% reach duelist

potent pivot
#

yeah thats kinda how its designed

jolly sierra
#

so having or not having glad mounts for some more players won't make a huge difference tbh

potent pivot
#

i just don't think thats how to go about it

#

just lowering glad to 2.1k is dogshit

#

more participation trophies

jolly sierra
#

how would u fight lack of participation then, trickz?

potent pivot
#

by reworking the system itself

#

you have to drive participation with MORE rewards, not just lowering the most prestigious rewards

#

if you lower the highest end reward it becomes devalued and mediocre

jolly sierra
#

u still have the elite titles and the pvp tabards there

#

and the r1 titles

potent pivot
#

imo just lowering the mount would hurt participation, not make it bigger

jolly sierra
#

tbh i would consider it for 1k8+

#

not 1k4+

#

most players are at 1k6 atm

#

and players at 1k4, well...

#

god, i hate them in the blitz w my ww monk, why they shoved me to 1k6 MMR REEEEEEEEEEE

potent pivot
#

the biggest thing they need to fix is the fact that most players wait until the last week of the season to queue for rewards

#

we need some sort of 'battlepass' style reward structure on top of the rating gated rewards

#

there's no motivation for many to queue and get better if they can just wait and get stuff practically for free

exotic dove
#

This is true when I look at activity monitoring sites it always dramatically increases as soon as the end season announcement is made lol

#

Then they stick around for new season gear up then afk until that season end date announcement

#

hasnt changed for a long time now

potent pivot
#

and it's not like pvp is too far gone, there's still thousands of games played per day in each region

exotic dove
#

I think the only excpetion I have seen was with DF S1 the first season of shuffle people were gaining rating and it ended up with more staying power than Blizzard capped it or deflated shuffle mmr and then it was back ot the usual

potent pivot
#

ye the same way it was for blitz s1

#

they leave the new brackets uncapped on their first season

#

should probably just leave it that way

#

like i don't really care if 1800 is a participation trophy

#

let people earn it just by playing

jolly sierra
#

the season fucked me up the most in recent times was DF s2

#

was disgustingly deflated

exotic dove
#

Yeah I agree the answer is right there people stay when they see they gain rating. When the dont cause for some reason the mmr then they afk. Blizzard can just look at DF season 1 for shuffle and see oh hey people stayed and played. We maintained subs. Maybe just maybe we should go back to taht

#

Perfect business sense and game sense

#

but nah too much common sense

#

They should do the same for all brackets though not just shuffle thats just an example I gave

mystic pasture
#

I 100% agree that rating and cosmetics should be separated. A battle pass / renown track for PVP would be incredible. Let rating be the reward in itself (along with the elite/R1 titles)

potent pivot
#

i mostly agree

#

but i think some things should still be rewarded from rating

#

like illusion/tabard/glad mount

#

but i think there should be reward tracks similar to LoL too

#

with different stuff, mogs, mounts, etc

#

if you don't have a few rewards for rating, there's no motivation for casual players to push rating

#

you gotta have some sort of motivation for players to want, so they want to get better and get those motivators

exotic dove
#

Leave the elite set mog in at 1800 put the weapon mogs on battle pass with the tabard and also leave illusion and glad mount for rating. HOnestly illusion could go either way imo

potent pivot
#

unfortunatly this isn't actual LoL so people aren't pushing new ranks just for the prestige of the rank

exotic dove
#

Yeah I doubt blizzard will do it best thing is for them to unleash mmr if they are doing it

potent pivot
#

honestly the illusion is more often than not trash as fuck so it could go either way yeah

#

they need to put some of their art into pvp

#

all of these shop and trading post things, all of these rep grinds

#

they've been releasing new mogs and mounts at an insanely good rate

#

we just need like 10% of all that art that comes out over an entire season to be rewarded for pvp every season

mystic pasture
jolly sierra
#

imagine other shadowflame

#

or they bringing back exclusive elite pvp sets

#

that custom ended in wod, in the end season from the xp

#

since that they turned lazier w that

jolly sierra
#

specially the masks

#

and the awful color choices

mystic pasture
#

Seems like we need a dye system

#

Or imagine custom armour/weapons based on components…

potent pivot
jolly sierra
#

for collection tho

#

and maybe the e-girls

potent pivot
#

people use tf out of it

mystic pasture
#

Cosmetics are king in this game

potent pivot
#

people love making funny mogs

mystic pasture
#

Yeah, they will even PVP for xmog

#

Imagine that

jolly sierra
#

some of em are very silly

potent pivot
#

pirate stuff, ninja stuff, random dresses/gloves

#

i don't care for it personally, but i buy maybe 1-2 things per post

#

like i might buy all the ninja weapons this month but thats about it

jolly sierra
#

ye, but the thing is its wasted talent xd

#

w that in hand its just a silly excuse to give us only tier recolors tbh xd

unique mesa
#

any good assi opner guides ?

#

and burst guides

jolly sierra
#

i swear ill sell a lot of bloodstones just to get a warr t3

potent pivot
#

there's not much "burst" to assa

#

get bleeds up, shiv, deathmark

unique mesa
#

so get up imp garrote - ruptue - Crimson then shiv and then u deathmark ?

#

I feel my burst is not hitting ass hard as its should

potent pivot
unique mesa
#

Maybe True but i think i should be doing higher den 500k dps

#

In 2s

potent pivot
#

if your bleeds are getting dispelled a lot, if you're upkeeping them on both targets etc

potent pivot
#

fury feels trash

#

in shuffle

#

had an all ranged lobby and felt like i was the cloth wearer

dark kernel
#

No way fury was THAT nerfed

#

Tbqh that feels pretty normal

#

All melee lobbies feel meh, all caster + me lobbies are meh

potent pivot
#

its pretty bad

#

like

#

its not gigashit like outlaw

#

but idk

#

last season when i played fury it was a walk in the park

#

this season feels a bit weird

dark kernel
#

Tbqh I am seeing lots of people with no games played at all mmrs

#

I'll play an alt game at 1700, some dude on a no games warrior, next game my main at 1980, mage no games played

#

Just lots of people all over the place with the soft resets who haven't played their alts in months throwing games

potent pivot
#

yeah

#

something about this season just feels

#

odd

#

balance feels a lot worse too

#

Like sub kinda becoming the shuffle spec was not on my bingo card

dark kernel
#

I think assa is still the go to and metrics seem to say that, but people always get drawn to shit with the notion of changes and "easier"

#

I haven't even tried sub yet and I played it all last season

potent pivot
#

sub is actually more popular in shuffle rn though

#

sub->assa->outlaw

#

just barely though

#

this is just 1800-2100 bracket

#

2100-2400 is a lot closer

dark kernel
#

Yeah, and that's hilarious because sub had really low play last season if I remember, but it was still a fine spec

potent pivot
#

yeah

dark kernel
#

Like the changes this season were decent but not like groundbreaking, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the increased play

potent pivot
#

i told smexxin the outlaw nerfs bricked the spec's damage and rotation

dark kernel
#

People just see change

potent pivot
#

i doubt it'll hit anyone's ears who can do anything about it though idk

potent pivot
#

this season it feels like if you don't have some kind of burst you are just piss walking around the arena map

#

the meta being so bloody people just die to air or die to burst

gleaming sentinel
hybrid palm
#

Finally a proud duelist

potent pivot
dark kernel
#

It's actually wild, it feels just fine early in the beginning season pushing, if you played the spec and had rating the season prior. But starting from fresh with no history of MMR is like the wild West

jolly sierra
#

i am not 2k1 cuz i got lazy in shuffle w the rog

#

i am going in end may tho

#

rn im am 2050 in blitz just by doing it daily to get honor

confirmed DH still doing a ton of damage in solo shuffle lol

yeah feels like DH doing way too much dmg lol

and my healer still died against that

with a lizard which afked at 2k1 mmr lobbies

#

just because an early disadvantage

#

guy was mass reported 2 rounds in a row

potent pivot
#

if it looks like a guaranteed loss people just sit ye

#

even at like 3k people do that

jolly sierra

the big issue

#

was he was a healer

so imagine how big was the loss

ionic orbit

I've been using Palumor's rotation posted 6 months ago (just without flagellation now). But I've been wondering if there are better options because after games end my total dps is almost always in the bottom half of the list. I don't know if that's just how sublety rogues usually rank dps wise or what?

potent pivot
#

sub rogue is basically just strike->evis you don't really need a guide

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

or do you mean sub build

ionic orbit
potent pivot
#

just depends on tuning and stuff

#

usually end up playing assa/sub earlier in the season on the first rogue i gear

#

then after a couple weeks outlaw on 2nd rogue

gleaming pawn
#

I super dooming here but

#

is there a worse feeling class in pvp right now

#

Rogue feels like shit

narrow bay
#

i havent pvp'd since wotlk

#

and right now jumping into pvp i have no fuckin clue how to kill a healer

#

they have so many oh shit recovery buttons that its difficult af

ionic orbit
#

What you guys think, full set or no?

stoic spruce
#

Unholy?

#

They're super easy kill targets and lack kill pressure

#

At least we have a wide range of CC

exotic dove

My main started at 2200 something and the other Rogue from Last season low 2100 mmr

stark coral
#

this is a silly question but i havent really played rogue since tbc/anniversary classic, does weapon choice matter at all? or is it just for stats?

stoic spruce
#

I'm not sure what you're asking but chances are, yes.

stark coral
#

like dagger vs mace

stoic spruce
#

For sub?

stark coral
#

sub/ass

stoic spruce
#

Daggers for both

glass hazel
#

assa cant wear mace

stark coral
#

i read outlaw is swords

glass hazel
#

;x

#

but yeah 2 daggers for both

stark coral
#

thats what ive been leveling with just wasnt sure if it was like classic/vanilla where u cant ambush/backstab with a mace if that makes sense

#

tyty

stoic spruce
#

Sub technically can but it's a big dps loss

stark coral
#

is that because of speed?

#

attack speed*

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

stark coral
#

rgrrgr

glass hazel
#

yes

#

faster more energy regen for sub and more poisons for assa

stoic spruce

It's not even the energy regen for sub. It's that passive that icr the name of

it gives energy when proc

i might try testing envenom build again soon to see if it helps at all but i have my doubts

anyone playing outlaw pvp? (whats the difference of its spell usage with pve?)

dark kernel

Lots of us are. And that's way too vague

The biggest difference is, compared to M+ you don't blade flurry on cooldown, so that's pretty big

spring bough

Ever since DF Blizz seems to always create multiple color sets and then mix and match which classes get what color for each tier.

#

DF S1 was the only homogenous season which all classes getting the same color scheme per tier or game mode.

#

We all had like purple conquest gear and then fiery red elite sets

#

That set was baller as well

brave plume

was there a reason why they nerfed restless blades in pvpkekw

can i q for shuffle as assa, swap to sub then q for blitz as sub? or do i have to q as the same spec for both?

I dont get how you can play outlaw in shuffle

it has dmg output like a healer

jolly sierra
torn field
#

Explain the difference between Deathstalker and Fatebound for assa to me like I’m 12. Is it just that you don’t have to worry about ambush but also lose a bit of tempest dmg?

potent pivot
#

you lose step CDR, you lose cloak/evasion dmg reductions, you lose deathstalkers mark damage, energy from consuming darkest night, ct damage, etc

torn field
#

But like how much of that actually matters when you weigh what fatebound gives also (again I’m 12 and dumb)

potent pivot
#

coin damage is pure ST and rng

torn field
#

What’s the cookie cutter opener for Deathstalker assa? I’m assuming it differs melee vs caster where you don’t need the silence

potent pivot
#

main goal as assa is just bleeding everything as much as you can

#

cheap, gar, ambush, rupture, etc

#

try to cleave your bleeds during subterfuge windows if you can

#

once you cycle through 3 deathstalker's marks you get a buff, darkest night

#

you have to use a max combo point envenom to consume that buff

#

whoever you envenom will take the new deathstalker's marks debuff

torn field
#

That sounds too 500 iq for my boomer self versus fatebound RIP

potent pivot
#

just gotta practice

torn field
#

What do you do if you miss your ambush window and can’t get Deathstalker mark up? Or swap targets w/o getting a restealth? Just finger up the bum until you can get it back on?

potent pivot
#

swapping targets is generally fine

#

also like i said above, once you have darkest night buff you can swap your mark to another target with a max combo point envenom

#

if you miss your ambush for whatever reason then you just have to get it with a vanish window at some point

outer sky

so are most assa rogues running 4 set now?

MY FIRST EVER SOLO SHUFFLE AS a SIN orgue

#

any tip for a newbie?

dark kernel
dark kernel
#

Just preparing you lmao

polar socket
#

how should i open on solo shuffle?

dark kernel
#

You had a really good first promo game and so your match making rating went straight to putting you vs the top 1%

polar socket
#

sprint -> sap healer -> (who to target?)

dark kernel
#

You typically sap healer or if all 3 players are lumped together you can multi garrote silence them all

dark kernel
#

You want to cheap your kill target, then ambush, then garrote them into rupture and crimson tempest

#

Focus on keeping your bleeds active on 2 targets

dark kernel
#

Yeah that works. Kind of depends on what classes and how our of position they may be.

polar socket
#

or its dumb to DM at start?

#

i have problem about cd's and defensives

#

idk when to pull them

dark kernel
#

Its not dumb it just depends. At higher rates games I usually mark early to force cooldowns and pressure because I know I'll have it again

polar socket
#

and when to not

#

is it just come from experience? or its possible to learn them through videos and things

dark kernel
#

Videos and knowledge only get you so far.

polar socket
#

there is alot of them but i want best ones 😄

#

IM COOKED

dark kernel
#

Link the results.

polar socket
#

IT WAS HURT!

lucid citrus
#

Now from what you experienced in that match, think about what you could’ve done differently

dark kernel
# polar socket

Not bad. One thing about Sin is it has some large struggles into stuff like evoker and Paladin

#

Going 2-4 in a match with a ret isn't terrible. They can just bop your death ark

lucid citrus
#

I miss when Sin having KB for big burst

#

So sad pressing it doing no damage at all:/

polar socket
#

i have nothing to press

#

and im taking dmg

#

like sht

#

i just can scream

lucid citrus
#

Yeah going off what slitelohel said, since you were against a ret that can dispel your bleeds a lot, your main focus is just keeping bleeds up and cc’ing properly and apply pressure on the other team and hoping your other dps does more damage lol

polar socket
#

this one is even worse tbh

lucid citrus
polar socket
#

mage 2x shaman

#

mage in my team is terrible

#

and his a god on other side idk

#

nvm his trash

#

it feels like

#

my dmg is close to 0 without cds

lucid citrus
#

That matchup looks terrible since it’s hard to aoe garrote and rupture when they are mostly not stacked up

polar socket
#

most of th time

#

1 ele 1 enhance 1 frost

#

i had no idea how to cleave on them

lucid citrus
#

You will get those types of matchups but then you will god tier match up where everyone stacks and you are cast bleeds on everyone easily

lucid citrus
#

Did you have DFA?

polar socket
lucid citrus
#

Death from Above pvp talent

polar socket
#

the one that reduce healing from shiv

#

smoke bomb

#

and faint one

#

im trash at using smoke bomb tbh

#

mostly using it as defensive

lucid citrus
#

You could’ve taken DFA to use as a gap closer, can get you out of roots

#

It’s our only gap closer tbh lol

polar socket
lucid citrus
#

Well yeah without step it’s our only one

#

You could take out either smoke or faint one if you don’t think they are not focusing you

polar socket
#

if i stop wasting my sprint mindlessly

#

it will be way so much better

#

You’re running deathstalker right?

jolly sierra
#

thanks god my pc has a ssd

lucid citrus
#

Tbh everything looks good on talents wise, we just don’t know how the game is going so we can’t give more advice besides keeping bleeds up, making sure DS mark is up and you’re able to consume them so you can have step available and using DFA to get out of CC or prevent it

jolly sierra
#

ah indeed u have subterfuge

lol

i think we need a replay

the thing is in general than assa has very good advantage in matches where u can restealth

even a second its enough thanks to subterfuge

#

i will give you an example

#

night elf druids, a resto one

#

the druid turns into cat, you are just applying dots on him

#

he does shadowmeld, stealth, then stun you

#

then cyclone

then runs away

that second was just enough for him to get off of you
