oh I didnt know that

stoic spruce
#

It was big in the dk community so I wouldn't expect a lot of people outside of that to know tbh

#

Dk pvp community*

long shore
#

Very true. Sub can be very rewarding!

stoic spruce
#

You know how you can change your name in details? Can other people see what your nickname is in details?

long shore
#

Think I'll try to gear up as sub. And see how it goes

#

Assas might be good rot damage too in shuffle

#

I think we just have to accept that rogues are there as a support class to make other classes look good 😊

dark kernel
#

I sent a feral druid to the 0-6 Shadow realm as outlaw the other day, and in some matches he nearly doubled my damage

gleaming sentinel
#

I win so much more often when I just do an m+ rotation in shuffle on outlaw and just do a quick off target stun when I vanish

dark kernel
#

Just hard some games and my CC was mega on point

outer sky
#

LOL people think assa rogue is good in arena right now?

#

What

#

It's horse shit

#

theres like 12 assa rogues above 2,4

#

ive been playing it all season its actually trash

keen canopy
#

yeah my assa rogues in arena feel horrendous right now my outlaw and sub rogues feel way better

outer sky
#

you cant kill anything. you maintain bleeds on all 3 targets, which is really hard to do against any team that knows what theyre doing, and you do maybe 10% more damage on the meters than anyone else doing all their damage to 1 target. And since it's split 3 ways your dam is a joke to heal as assa

#

you get cooldowns then have no pressure until theyre back up again

#

no kill pressure

#

and you die to air

#

Ive been playing my WW monk this past week and hes not even fully geared and he can do more damage to 1 target than my assa rogue does to 3

keen canopy
#

well maybe WW is just busted ya know

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Assa may not have kill pressure

#

But I'm going through something much worse

#

A fly got in my coffee

keen canopy
#

stoic spruce
#

So who's REALLY down bad

#

Fr

keen canopy
#

this is why you put a lid over every drink

stoic spruce
#

I was barely gone

#

Gonna

#

Idk

#

I guess make a new cup

#

Can't have shit

#

I go to the club

#

Nothing in my drink

#

The comfort of my home?

#

I have my own d-day

#

Technically outside

dark kernel
#

Piss on the fly

stoic spruce
#

He burned to death

#

He got off easy

keen canopy
#

i know somebody who drank a bee

#

like the bee got in their can of whatever soda

#

and they drank it

#

so what im saying is
it could be worse

stoic spruce
#

Well they probably deserved it

#

But I, the universe's favorite child, have done nothing wrong.

#

The flies are obviously out to get me

#

There was a dead animal my dog dragged into the yard the other day and I burnt it so it wouldn't stink up the yard

#

They're probably mad about that

#

Flies should know better. This is private property.

indigo hill
#

Is sub easily energy starved compared to outlaw?

long shore
stoic spruce
#

Managing energy is a thing of the past for outlaw

indigo hill
#

I know that but i was wondering if Sub has allot of energy starvation.

stoic spruce
#

Oh I misread my b

jaunty osprey
#

Assa isn’t S++++ tier, but isnt F tier like everyone is making it seem

#

It NEEDS to play with a Paladin or Pres though

2 classes that can heal Assa properly, but also win the games through damage or CC that

This season, Assa Rogue needs teammates that can get enemy healers in a CC chain in order for their rot pressure to actually do anything

stoic spruce
#

Weren't you playing with afflock not long ago? How did that go?

jaunty osprey
#

I played BM Assa the other day to 2700 MMR

stoic spruce
#

That's cool. I like that comp

jaunty osprey
#

We haven’t queued in a few weeks, lock and I haven’t had schedules that aligned

stoic spruce
#

Bm assa is something idk if I've seen

#

This season

jaunty osprey
#

Yeah, Jaywaz and I wanted to get our alts up and ended up doing well with it

#

played with a pres, so trap -> sleep every kidney

#

is insane

#

Wouldn’t say it’s game breaking by any means, but point is that Assa needs to play a very particular style of game to win this season

It isn’t as bad as everyone is making it seem, BUT it isn’t S+ tier like it’s been since DF

#

It sucks to not be able to PVE and win when a lot of the top specs can do that atm, but it is what it is

stoic spruce
#

Lowkey miss assa/unholy. I had a lot of fun with that. I've no idea about now though.

jaunty osprey
#

Assa Frost works! Assa needs to predot everything before the DK go

stoic spruce
#

I like rogue/dk comps because I can play either class and do great

#

Assa frost is interesting

jaunty osprey
#

And if possible have empowered garrotes out and pandemic it + make sure silence DR is over before sending DK go so they can strangulate the healer off of it or smth

stoic spruce
#

I bet I can manage that

#

Imma screenshot this and send it to the homie

jaunty osprey
#

A lot of comps are 2.4 viable atm, which is great

People need to look at that instead of R1 viable comps

Game isn’t as doom and gloom as people think

stoic spruce
#

Nah not at all. I've been having a blast with outlaw/ret

#

Pun intended

jaunty osprey
#

People gotta stop watching Ven/Supa complain about 1029292 classes every week.

The negativity and whining in those streams are making everyone else become more negative 😭

jaunty osprey
#

so fun

stoic spruce
#

For real. I wish I could play two classes at once.

#

But we decided I stick with outlaw

shell vortex
jaunty osprey
#

Ya it used to be only friends and guild back in the day too for that

shell vortex
jaunty osprey
#

and direct PARTY

stoic spruce
#

Dang okay.

#

Well that's good enough I guess.

#

I don't need it obv. Would just be nice.

long shore
shell vortex
#

not like that anyone would do that...............

jaunty osprey
stoic spruce
#

Totally not >.>

jaunty osprey
#

to them, if it isn’t meta, it isn’t viable

dark kernel
#

I honestly haven't been enjoying most streamers now that Nahj is gone

#

Kalvish just doesn't talk

jaunty osprey
#

Nahj used to always complain too, he would say that Assa is way better than Sub, even this season

long shore
stoic spruce
#

I ran into an outlaw/bdk/rdudu the other day and ngl it kinda fucked me up lol

dark kernel
jaunty osprey
#

Kinda biased, but Montage/Wizk are probably my favourite streamers atm

#

Montage is my 3s healer, also #1 on ladder atm

Wizk is Wiz, and he’s been playing with Zach (one of the best healers)

stoic spruce
#

I watch mes but only when he plays dk

jaunty osprey
#

And they’re just so good and comms are great

#

And good vibes/not negative

long shore
stoic spruce
#

You hear bad things much faster than anything good

dark kernel
#

Wym supatease got 1800 on rogue đŸ€“

stoic spruce
#

Doesn't he play boomy too?

shell vortex
#

i just steer clear from people who play multiple classes and have thumbnails where they go đŸ–ïž đŸ«š đŸ–ïž DAMAGE IS INSANE

#

that's why a few days ago i was asking for some reccomendations on sub bgb players that don't scream for everything that they do

stoic spruce
#

That's very hard to come by

jaunty osprey
#

Also, when watching these streamers

Remember that what is needed to win a game at 2700 isn’t what’s needed to win a game at 2k or 2400

shell vortex
#

ye ye obviously, but i'm all for learning techs and strats

#

since i hit like a toddler if i don't have my cd's i need to find a way to be useful apart from being a cc bot (which doesn't work if i don't have at least vanish or a dance)

long shore
stoic spruce
#

That's for the best

shell vortex
#

unless you settle for aug evoker

long shore
#

So which spec is recommended for 3v3 as rogue now or shuffle?

#

With the new feint talent, it seems to make rogue tankier

stoic spruce
#

This is def a hot take

#

And I'm also biased

#

Super biased

#

But I think outlaw best 3s spec

#

For now until I get higher at least.

jaunty osprey
#

Outlaw is harder to play well

#

Assa or Sub are my recommendations if you’re a beginner

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I didn't think about that

long shore
#

Does assas really do negative damage in shuffle?

Or is that just a skill issue

stoic spruce
#

No that's doom and gloom

jaunty osprey
#

I can push to #1 assa in shuf in 1 day if I wanted

stoic spruce
#

Envious

#

I don't have the patience

#

I'll be in queue for 5 minutes and leave the queue. Drives me up a wall sitting around running in circles hoping i get a good lobby

long shore
#

Just confused when I should bleed healer, and when I should just double bleed DPS instead

stoic spruce
#

People were posting assa meters the other day and I'm pretty sure they were topping in those matches

long shore
shell vortex
#

aoe padding is always good

stoic spruce
#

Wish outlaw had the same stat pathing

shell vortex
#

idk how much dps you'd be missing by not having 9 perfect gems, but you could buy all the off-set pieces or craft them since conquest is uncapped

#

i'm probably gonna dump them on crates if i ever decide i want to play something else

stoic spruce
#

I have nothing crafted

#

At least for outlaw, I think the gear provided is fine

shell vortex
#

then just get the offset pieces with the right stat prio for other specs

#

and keep the 4p you already have

#

you'd just be missing the gems

#

speaking of which, what's the mastery cap for sub? cause rn in pvp i'm sitting at 95% and i still need to buy 3 gems

dark kernel
# shell vortex

100% is soft cap with mastery, every 10% over is needed by 10%

#

If I recall that's how it works

stoic spruce
#

It also changes with every spec

dark kernel
#

Yes

#

With mastery as far as I know for over 100% mastery, the first 10% is nerfed 10%. So effectively speaking if you have 110% mastery your finisher damage is increased by 109%

#

120% mastery actually Increases finishers by 117%, 130% mastery is 123% damage, 140% is 129%

shell vortex
#

oh i had no idea you could go over 100%

#

not sure i can get there tbh

dark kernel
#

It's dependent on the patch

#

Last season in DF you could get like 135%

#

But the DRs start making it not ideal

#

Also it USED to be that the mastery bonus from flagellation was unaffected by the DRs, so a max flag was still 35% finisher damage. I don't know if that's true now

shell vortex
#

i never played flag but that sounds sick

#

the rogue used trinket but i'm pretty sure there would've been a short gap

#

(used trinket after sitting 5s of kidney and eating the full burst)

stoic spruce
#

What's it like having shadowblades?

shell vortex
stoic spruce
#

Shadowblades is fun

#

I like its gameplay

shell vortex
#

i mean it's objectively super strong

stoic spruce
#

Was better when outlaw had it but whatever

shell vortex
#

but without cooldowns sub is more or less a cc bot

#

and a mediocre one if not even shadowdance is available

stoic spruce
#

Numbers aside

#

It's fun

#

Still salty

shell vortex
jaunty osprey
stoic spruce
#

More salty

#

A walk through memory lane

#

Remember when gsw was big pp?

shell vortex
#

honestly i've always hated outlaw since it was introduced and never looked back at it

#

hated the randomness of dice

#

idk how it plays now but i still hate it

#

that side of the talent tree died with combat for me

stoic spruce
#

The specs rng isn't really tied to rtb tbh

shell vortex
#

yeah idk how it works now

stoic spruce
#

Your buff uptime is so high

shell vortex
#

but i remember trying it when it launched and i was either first or last in dps

#

cause of dice

#

i mean roll the bones

#

or what was the name

stoic spruce
#

Roll The Bones

#

Goated ability

#

The amount of health the mage had before the pistol shot landed the kill

#

Man, take me back.

#

Shammy got deleted

#

@chrome schooner idk if you remember and I've wanted to ask for years, what's the question mark macro?

#

I see pistol shot isn't bound. I assume is SS until an opportunity proc

chrome schooner
#

This is an old one, let me see

#

Mmh, I don't remember, probably a spell that wasn't always used and loading screens made it appear as a questionmark rather than the spell icon

stoic spruce
#

So the question mark wasn't your doing?

#

As far as you remember

#

There's no telling. Just wanted to know. Thank you.

halcyon timber
chrome schooner
#

I don't think it was, I usually like to have the icons

#

Maybe it was Killing Spree ?

#

That's possible

shell vortex
#

(the first fight with the rogue)

halcyon timber
#

Nah homeboy didnt defend well at all. Was fine but def don’t gap stuns

#

Trinket late or sloppy = pay the toll

shell vortex
#

yeah i mean he played like shit

#

but i was wondering what i could do better

halcyon timber
#

Just don’t gap stuns and whoop em. Would need to see more

shell vortex
#

mh

halcyon timber
#

Not really a set and forget thing. Adapt to stuff on the fly

stoic spruce
#

Well, regardless. When your SL videos have an extra view, just know it's me thanksfriend

chrome schooner
#

When you stun, if the stun lasts X seconds you can do X-1 damaging abilities then the next one needs to be a stun again

halcyon timber
#

Depends on race and classes as well Fex

chrome schooner
#

When you DR Cheap Shot the Hunter you use Eviscerate then Shadowstrike if I'm correct, so 2 spells, on a 2 seconds stun

#

You can only use one if you don't want a gap

shell vortex
#

i should probably see if i can add 0.s to plater debuffs cause that "1" isn't really helping i think

halcyon timber
#

Ex Orc vs Paladins as well to be mindful of

chrome schooner
#

Dr Cheap (2s) > Eviscerate > DR DR Cheap > There goes your Shadowstrike

#

Orcs change that rule a bit, but it's a good default rule

shell vortex
halcyon timber
#

Orc 5% and paladins “can” talent into a 10%

shell vortex
#

cause he was almost dead and i got greedy

#

lol

chrome schooner
#

It's very scripted barring Orcs and other cc duration reduction, if you go with Kidney it's Kidney, 4x offensive GCDs, DR Cheap, 1x offensive GCD, DR Cheap, then damage again, a,d if you start with Cheap as your 1st stun then you have 3 damaging globals instead of 4

halcyon timber
#

Not sure why hunter didn’t trap /scatter / roar of sac (unless he didn’t have it)

#

Exhil etc . Flat out played that bad (didn’t see hunter fight till now. Phone was being lame loading that fight fir whatever reason)

shell vortex
#

yeah i whopped their asses but they were both bad, i mistrinketed against the hunter cause i got greedy

#

well not "mistrinketed" but could've gone wrong

#

if i got trapped

halcyon timber
#

Can time a cloak or step if wanting to avoid that

#

Can’t evasion scatter anymore (dunno when it was changed . Df maybe)

#

Cloak doesn’t work to dh stuns either anynore (df change)

shell vortex
#

what about that hunter pet stun? idk what it's called

#

the one that stunned me :v

halcyon timber
#

Intimidation

#

No can dodgey

#

Axe toss is similar from demo (used to be able to dodge it with evasion)

shell vortex
#

kk thanks

halcyon timber
#

Can cloak binding shot

shell vortex
#

yeye that one i know

#

the one that always fucks me is scatter + trap

#

should keep trinket for that

chrome schooner
shell vortex
#

but i was greeeeeeeeeedy

halcyon timber
shell vortex
#

what about hunter's spear?

#

warr**

#

the one that goes on the ground

halcyon timber
#

Spear nope

chrome schooner
#

It is very hit or miss because 1) the pet does random moves and 2) the lock has the one pet stun from the pet, but also the pet stun from the 2nd one he can summon once every 2mins

halcyon timber
#

Champions spear can be timed w step

chrome schooner
#

You don't know what he'll use so

#

Do you face the pet

#

or the lock

#

:p

halcyon timber
#

Ha yeah pretty much man

#

An “it depends” scenario for sure

shell vortex
halcyon timber
#

Which keeps things fun

chrome schooner
#

I remember Night Fae'ing out of Spears

#

Good times

halcyon timber
#

Was sick

shell vortex
#

oh speaking of night fae, i was wondering if shadowstep gets you behind the dh during the hunt and if you can avoid it while he's mid flight

halcyon timber
halcyon timber
shell vortex
#

i always gouge it yeah

#

but i was wondering if you can shadowstep it

#

would be fun

#

gotta try

halcyon timber
#

“Can” get hit by it still like the evoker deep breath nonsense

shell vortex
#

i see

#

thanks a lot for all the info that will soon leave my brain

halcyon timber
#

Up to you tbh

shell vortex
#

i'll keep gouging probably

#

muscle memory

#

but if i feel spicy i may try the houdini shadowstep

halcyon timber
#

Can bomb / sap them too if they fall out and you time it well

chrome schooner
#

Gouge is the best move vs The Hunt

#

It's also useful if you're not the target while the other moves are not

#

So, that's the better reflex

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

shell vortex
#

it's funny cause they use their stealth spotting thingy, they charge the hunt and whoops i get free 5cp and an inc with gouge out of stealth

halcyon timber
#

Those winged rats have very far range on it (>40 yards iirc) so plenty if time to make a decision

shell vortex
#

if they throw glaive then it's another story

halcyon timber
#

Can use distract in many useful ways as well to stop casts and other things (if a target is out of combat) really situational

shell vortex
#

what about that fucking thing that makes them go in the air and shoot fireballs tho? that's demented and i hate it

#

i always vanish

halcyon timber
#

Rain from above

analog tapir
#

ple help! i rlly wanna learn assa rogue..icyveins isnt the best teacher..where can i find aid `?

halcyon timber
#

Can bomb when you last get struck and “try to stealth” / vanish / cloak as options or los

shell vortex
#

idk if i should just sit it

#

ohhhh didn't think about bomb

#

got to 2.4k with rating bought on wish apparently

halcyon timber
halcyon timber
#

For cover, depends on your terrain and if they can still see you due to their elevation. When they hover lower you can break los / bomb and sap / gouge yadda yadda

shell vortex
#

that's why sometimes i feel it hurts like a motherfucker and i stop sitting it

halcyon timber
#

Yeh i don’t remember if it is 8 or 10% mhp atm

shell vortex
#

i'm speaking of situations where i can't just leave the objective and reset

#

although i'm not sure if they count as "on the objective" like carts if they're flying

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just try to pre vial a hit to mitigate

#

It is a “it depends” situation based on their elevation is how i time that crap if i don’t have cover / vanish etc

shell vortex
#

thanks a lot

halcyon timber
#

No sweat man

shell vortex
#

i've been playing rogue for ages but last time i pvp'd with some intent was during tbc on a private server lmao

halcyon timber
#

All that matters is that you have fun and find what you like doing. Screw the rest.

shell vortex
#

i'm having a blast, it's just that i'm not up to date with all the different shit that all classes do now

#

every class has knocbacks, stuns, slows, walls

#

i'm all for let's not leave classes unusable, but class identity is meh

halcyon timber
#

Yeah important to read other classes and their kits instead of doing ish like the forums “oh mah gawd wen did X git Y? Its Op???!! Wahhh”

#

Eh , it opened up more teams and combinations and those classes can gripe less

shell vortex
#

it's understandable honestly, but as i said, i liked it when all classes had their own gimmick and i knew all their spells

#

now i'm far behind the curve

halcyon timber
#

Yeah times change

shell vortex
#

i'm ancient

halcyon timber
#

Most have been around a long time. Just people like finding continued reasons for “not fairrr” crap no matter what

agile kite
#

you are not behind lol

shell vortex
#

i mean it really wasn't a 1v2 and they played like shit but i apreciate

#

💌

agile kite
#

bros i love 4x grapple so much, i hope they never take it from outlaw

shell vortex
#

i was shitting on outlaw's rng earlier but seeing you guys zoom around the map kinda makes me wanna give it a shot

indigo hill
halcyon timber
#

They aren’t likely to change that, multiple classes have interactions like that and the others are balanced around their tools as well. It wouldn’t just be a change to us rogues only.

#

Hero talents aren’t going away. It isn’t “borrowed power” nonsense

#

It is an ever green feature which will have added talents and such moving forward as they aren’t adding to spec / class trees

indigo hill
#

I know. They're regular talents dressed as something special.

agile kite
#

thats what i thought as well eridian - i thought theyre hear to stay supposedly

halcyon timber
#

It was wise to be safe than do something wild

stoic spruce
#

staying until at least The Last Titan

indigo hill
#

Never let blizzard know you enjoy something. They will take it away.

halcyon timber
#

The trees are to fit all styles of things in your spec tree. They did well to not make it some goofy thing as it would result in our demise

stoic spruce
agile kite
#

i love fatebound so much bros...

halcyon timber
#

Fb has some cool stuff yeah

indigo hill
#

I wouldn't have mind a legion artifact type of intro. Get a questline to start training to become which ever hero tree you pick.

stoic spruce
#

makes KS a death sentence lol

halcyon timber
#

Yeah just depends on what time they have

halcyon timber
#

As they are working on 3 expansions

indigo hill
halcyon timber
#

He doesn’t know that man lol

stoic spruce
#

they literally said it

halcyon timber
#

Show that please

stoic spruce
#

in their early interviews

halcyon timber
#

I don’t recall that but things do change on the fly as their time constraints are tight

stoic spruce
#

miss borrowed power frfr

halcyon timber
#

Nah

stoic spruce
#

you dont miss the grind

halcyon timber
#

None of it

stoic spruce
#

no one misses the grind

halcyon timber
#

Core > all

stoic spruce
#

nah

#

still waiting on the borrowed power level of creativity everyone said would happen

#

with new talents and such

#

chop chop

halcyon timber
#

Gimmicks aren’t fun or cool to be balanced around. That’s when the dumb class in fighting happens

#

They aren’t interested in making class hijacking abilities/ talents again as the big man himself told us.

The same with one aspect taking over a class like

agile kite
#

it makes sense if they kept hero talents

#

add 1 per xpac for each spec

#

seems managaeable

halcyon timber
#

We are getting 10 more talent points unless they decide differently (on new hero talents tree nodes)

shell vortex
stoic spruce
#

yeah idk where theyre gonna put them tbh. The hero talents could be a bit more fleshed out I bet.

halcyon timber
#

They will and base feedback on the changes. Just have to keep all talents in mind instead of hijacking nonsense

stoic spruce
#

rogue was always the star child with borrowed power

#

esp in SL

#

warriors lucked out too ig

#

having all 4 covs not only just viable but actually good was crazy

#

along with multiple good legendaries

halcyon timber
#

Was tacky af

stoic spruce
#

was also fun and memorable

#

people will be talking about it for a long time

#

speaking of fun and memorable

#

DF was not that

#

for its own reasons

#

the only time it gets mentioned is spec reputation in max level content lol

halcyon timber
#

Subjective assessments to the individual. Limitations set by those precedences do not allow for growth

stoic spruce
#

its not subjective, you can look at the other channels and servers and no one talks about DF

halcyon timber
#

Former legendaries are into trees based on our feedback and yet individuals state it “isn’t enough”

#

That’s fine. That was the pilot expansion to fix multiple things. I do not subscribe to mass thoughts anyway.

#

Not every track is going to be a greatest hit. Maturity is needed and understanding that the devs can only do so much.

stoic spruce
#

is this making you feel smart?

jaunty osprey
#

Incase anyone missed and multiclasses here

I made a WA that shows when a rogue on your team has Subterfuge active so you know to prioritize dispels on them or freedoms and whatnot

Or you can send to your healers

#

we must make sure everyone in the game has it

#

so we can play the game

What helm enchant are we rocking for ass PVP?

won a Deepwind Gorge after like a 400 points handicap, isnt blitz fun guys?

now a sharp observer may be asking, how did you even manage to get 400 points less than the enemy team in the start?

sono un vero italiano

shell vortex
#

there's a guy in italy that became famous cause he went on a reality show abroad, i think in slovenia? not sure? and he was saying only curse words in italian

#

and then the show's hosts started saying them aswell

#

absolute cinema

shell vortex
#

it was hungary actually

#

i don't know how to put it, but imagine that somehow none speaks english in italy, an english guy comes to take part into our big brother reality show, and he goes by for 100 days calling everyone "cunt" "bitch" "shitface" and answering "fuck off" to every question

#

that's basically what happened

#

it was absolutely glorious

shell vortex
#

then when he came out of the house, the hosts greeted hime like "OOOHHH FUCK OFF YOU SHITFACE"

#

totally oblivious

#

10/10

oh its friday, is that why blitz is shit today?

cant que for anything else group related sitting in a blitz que is such a buzz kill too

shell vortex

thank god i was doing something else in the background

they should make it so that you don't get fucking taken out of queue if you afk for 5 mins aswell

what abilities does shiv remove?

wintry dew
#

enrages

#

not why it is used tho

exotic dove
#

Once I recover Im going to do a hard push as Sub Im really enjoying it

abstract stratus
#

assa CAN feel really good with proper bleed management and aggression but if you fall behind in tempo you fall WAY behind unless you're ivanrah.

#

speaking of does anyone use tricks on sin successfully in shuffle? tricks is easy wins on sub but i have yet to use it on sin

jaunty osprey
#

better to use hemotoxin

#

in shuffle if you dont need dismantle

#

and just assume your teammates suck

#

and wont do good dam

#

also because blackjack is really good for sin

#

since damp happens so fast in shuffle

#

imagine wound/hemotoxin and blackjack from blind during damp

abstract stratus
#

yea thats typically what i run i was just sitting here theorizing. had a turbo burst game with me on a sub rogue, frost dk, arcane mage, and marks hunter at 2kmmr the rounds lasted about 35 seconds at the longest lol 5/1d it tho

#

the 1 loss was totally my bad i fat fingered buttons because im stupid

errant river
#

just got my first 2100 after not pvping since legion

hey guys, can crafted gear from last season still be re-used this season in S2?

so i shouldnt sell them?

glass hazel

Just recraft it

Sockets etc will transfer as well

Same will be for s3

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.

so i did it in time i suppose

potent pivot

there isn't much difference in making new items compared to recrafting s1 items

How the ques today

warped gate

Finally hit 1800, bois! After starting late last month and gearing up in greens while everyone is already geared, it felt like I was bashing my head against a wall for a while. Feels good to finally hit this achievement for a set of gear that I most assuredly will never wear. kekdog

#

(The original gear looks better, tbh.)

languid ravine
#

nice one, "never going to wear them anyways" is the same reason I get 1800 on every class

#

on some classes you are "never going to see them anyways" too like druid and evoker kekdog

shell vortex
#

or any class as a dracthyr really

#

shit design

#

is there a way to see my winrate on specific battlegrounds? cause i'm pretty sure my kotmogu winrate is like 20%

Is rogue fun in pvp?

#

I'm mainning outlaw in M+ and Mythic raids and having a lot of fun

#

never played pvp before

#

New to wow

#

also what specs do u guys suggest for it?

halcyon timber
#

Rogue is definitely fun, its just the class with the most finesse which can create a steep learning curve. All of the specs are good so choose what you want to do.

gritty charm
#

cool thanks

halcyon timber
#

No sweat

gritty charm
#

How does Sub & Outlaw differ?

#

I mean thats kinda a broad question xd

halcyon timber
#

Im no Outlaw and would rather one of them to answer that honestly and steer you in a mature comparison.

gritty charm
#

Thats fair thanks! I'll look up some yt vids as well

halcyon timber
#

Both specs focus in control and making hard situations for the enemy team.

Us Subtlety emphasize on hard hitting windows while Outlaws are more consistent but can be rng on their impact but the Outlaws here definitely do well and can steer you correctly

gritty charm
#

Honestly can't imagine how outlaw would be in Pvp, with all the buffs and keep it rolling and such

#

Sub seems a better fit

#

Or maybe its a different build

halcyon timber
#

The guys report RTB doesn’t feel like an issue

#

Its all your personal playstyle. All specs can be effective.

spring bough
halcyon timber
#

Yeah always is some nonsense going on heh

warped gate
#

Roll the Bones though, even if you get whammy rolls, you still get Supercharger out of the deal.

halcyon timber

Dunno about that, some guys have

HO is a lot more fun to me

shell vortex
#

I'll have to check reflex when I get back home, I don't remember it being a function but I guess I could just do the math on my own

halcyon timber
#

When i was playing that style

warped gate
#

I liked trying to get those ideal sets of buffs and hitting KiR, but it felt so bad when you get the perfect set of buffs, hit KiR, target doesn’t die, and now I’m just a regular RtB Rogue and I’m like damn, when can KiR come back out to play. garf_sit

halcyon timber
#

Fat ambush style def felt a lot more fun. I gravitate to stuff like that regardless though. Not a fan of “only finishers” propaganda

halcyon timber
warped gate
#

Although when I hit that Jesus-roll, the muscle memory of KiR still kicks in. Monchie_HappyCry

halcyon timber
#

The main man said play what you want. Im not interested in hivemind mentality anyway

potent pivot
#

Outlaw is fast paced and focuses on reactionary gameplay loop around its CDR etc

#

Sub is kinda fast->slow->fast->slow

#

Can practically afk between burst windows besides farming Dance CDR

#

Outlaw just feels kinda ass in PvP because they gave its CDR a flat 20% nerf, but if you’re new to it you may not notice it as much

glass hazel
#

and only assa will jump around like monkey trying to dot everything yet doing same damage like any other class in one target

halcyon timber

Lol

jaunty osprey

#

nothing is more fun than playing Warrior and your Bladestorm is bugged/unusable thanks blizzturd

#

so googling this apparently this bug exists since 9 months ago with hero talents

#

amazing

agile kite
#

i full switched my sub gear to outlaw to learn it

#

i do 0 damage right now but its fun

#

also do you ever 4x grapple or do you always try to keep 1 just in case

stoic spruce
#

4x grapple is a bit of a niche ability

#

As obj in battlegrounds it's awesome but say in arena, 4 is overkill

stoic spruce
#

It's just nice when it does do damage

agile kite
#

i only play it in blitz

#

:3

stoic spruce
#

Ew

#

Then yeah

#

Stay in stealth as much as possible

#

To keep adr

#

Really not much to it

#

5+ in subterfuge, 6/7 out

#

Rtb on cooldown

agile kite
#

@stoic spruce RTB on cd?

#

really?

#

i thought i was gonna have to track it

agile kite
#

sorry im very new - started outlaw yesterday

#

im 2.1 on sub but wanted more cc, mobility and am cool with less damage

stoic spruce
#

Combo points

stoic spruce
agile kite
#

@stoic spruce im confused on the point comment - are you saying use finishers with 5+ in sub and wait until 6/7 when out

#

also ty

stoic spruce
#

Yes

agile kite
#

ty friend, that sounds easier than i thought then

stoic spruce
#

Yeah it's easy to play

#

Mastering it is harr though

agile kite
#

do you use any addosn to let you know how many buffs you have?

stoic spruce
#

Just the normal rtb weakaura

agile kite
#

ok based ill grab it - is the mastering hard part just knowing how to play well with buffs / apm?

stoic spruce
#

Kinda

#

With the cdr nerf, every global matters and when so knowing what global when is important

agile kite
#

in blitz it feels like an even more objective focused version of sub

#

which seems so sick

glass hazel
#

If you dc -150 cr or mmr as well?

#

Was winning and about to get duelist but blackout said hello now I'm at 1.9 bracket again

agile kite
#

i heard its just cr

glass hazel
#

If just cr not that bad can get it fast enough

jaunty osprey
#

yeah just CR

#

unless you've already lost rounds

#

like if you're 0-3 and dc

#

you also lose some mmr in addition to -150 CR

glass hazel
#

I was like 3 or 4 wins

#

So should be just cr I think

#

Thanks

languid ravine
#

its so dumb that you can just leave and it basically doesnt matter

#

CR is gonna catch up anyways

#

to your old mmr

jolly sierra

was worse back in the day

i had a shithead which i met which just left everytime he had lost the 1st round

not that i would be able to carry a team tbh, but i have no idea on how to do well on that bg

#

mostly i try to snipe enemy orb carryiers

halcyon timber

Oh kotmogu? Yeah i end up snagging orbs a lot and eots i am attacking bases and looking for opportunities to make revives difficult

#

Not a fan of kotmogu honestly

shell vortex
#

can't stealth or vanish with orbs

halcyon timber
#

Yeah in kot

shell vortex
#

sucks

#

hate that shit

#

hope it burns in hell

halcyon timber
#

I end up just having to los and crap since ranged cba to grab orbs

shell vortex
#

hope it gets the strand of the ancients treatment

halcyon timber
#

I didn’t mind strand back in the day but yeah

shell vortex
#

no me neither

#

can't believe it got nuked and we have this shit in the game

halcyon timber
#

Would rather hop in seething shore than kotmogu

#

Wish they would fix the cheese where people can pop you from their airship

shell vortex
#

also why the fuck do they ask me to pick the first orb, i can juke a couple of times with a shadowstep and that's it?

#

i'm probably missing something here

but i'd rather go kill theirs?

Restless Blades but only during subterfuge

#

I know outlaw currently doesn't have the space for it atm but it's pretty unfair how both assa and sub have more freedom in the class tree than outlaw

Outside of numbers

I should've said

Design wise

gilded gulch

I played my dk more that season

gilded gulch

yeah cant say i was thrilled

#

queueing into orc sephuz condemn arms warrior

stoic spruce

2, 3, and 4 I played a lot more outlaw

I played celerity in pvp which probably didn't help

s2 was usually more venthyr blunderbuss

where you could play that or

stoic spruce

Venth gsw

gilded gulch

kyrian dust

which most people fucking sucked at

stoic spruce

Is what I played for the rest of the expac

gilded gulch
#

fyi

stoic spruce
#

Dude

#

That fuckin build

#

Idk why people liked it

gilded gulch
#

i won so many outlaw healer mirrors off damage

#

because guy didnt do damage

stoic spruce
#

ER was so unfun

gilded gulch
#

because you had evasion like every 30

#

i messed around with both gsw

#

and blunder

#

and mfd/ds builds

#

kyrian dust the main issue was, most people didnt know how to pve people down as outlaw

#

its way more evident than in venthyr builds

stoic spruce
#

I shouldn't have won against all those kyrian outlaws

#

As venth

#

And gsw

gilded gulch
#

like frankly

#

it should do equal if not more damage with more utility

#

if you dont whiff builders

#

every other

stoic spruce
#

That ego inflation everytime I won a mirror comp

#

It probably did irreparable damage to me tbh
