foggy void
#

yeah ive made sure like 10 times lol

#

annoying

tight hill
#

doesn't work at all? i know there's a bug where focus macros go on your target if used while the focus is further than 55 yd from you.

#

not sure if that applies to arena aswell

stoic spruce
#

Outlaw 1 shots

#

With mastery I mean

spring bough
#

We can get the sniper shot off first 😂

stoic spruce
#

No stealth

#

No abilities

Just MG procs lmaoo

dark moon
#

try this

#

if you're using a modifier for the button itself then remove the nomod and leave exists and harm only

spring bough
#

Be like them wild Wild West movies

hushed dawn
#

is it worth to have 4 pieces of tier on pvp?

stoic spruce
#

Deathstalker Assa yes

#

Maybe fb assa too idk

sharp sierra
#

Is death stalker fun?

dark moon
#

tbh im not sure 4 piece for FB is worth it

potent pivot

not much diff either way

Dont

#

You're manifesting nerfs

dark moon
#

the dfa build is highly unviable in shuffle but can lead to some funny one shots

spring bough

#

As a outlaw rogue whats your main off-cc (focus cc) target in solo shuffle, healer or other dps? (Im guessing if your with a caster it probably is the other dps but if your que'd with a mele your probably coming the healer)

#

Cause if you cc everyone by the time you cc everyone you've wasted a lot of your vanish crackshot burst window

stoic spruce
#

I miss bfa

unique garnet
#

Despairge back when blizzard had innocence and we thought "surely if bfa is bad the next expac should be good"

hahahah

bro stop your going to get us nerfed again

dark moon
#

but im having fun damn it

That venth build with flag was ooooooooo tooo good

SL was great

well hey I guess I don't need to worry about that slot for my pvp gearing.

molten hedge
#

I feel like a 710 crit piece isn’t that good 🤣 but I don’t know much

wet crown
#

I mean if you already got assloads of vers it's not bad

#

I've been pushing mage and wanna send the rogue for mog soon though, lol.

spring bough

#

Isn't the white one the non-elite one

#

Oh I see

Is crate farming still insane?

#

I was pushing like two weeks ago on the mage, then I caught the funny virus and dropped off for a bit.

What’s everyone been running in SS as assassination? I had a ton of success with a bleed build as Deathstalker. Then I saw more people were going Fate and Kingsbane, and I’ve lost a bit of games since I changed.

#

Thought about sticking it out and getting better setting up kingsbane, but with all the pallys, it’s usually bop’d quickly

gleaming sentinel

got to 2100 pretty quick as deathstalker

Is black ops 4 dead

stoic spruce
#

Blackout isnt

#

Idk about multiplayer

fresh ermine
#

I tried warzone and its ass forgot I have black ops 4 in my library

#

about to try and download it with my new internet

#

I think when I tried black ops 4 back in the day my internet wouldn't let me que

spring bough
#

I don’t think I could play COD anymore because I can’t talk shit like I did back in MW2

#

I heard they have voice monitors and ban you for that there too. Damn blizzard lol

fresh ermine
#

regular cod was awesome

#

back in the day

#

search and destroy a d shit

stoic spruce
#

I still like cod, I just wish there wasn't a new one every year

wet crown
#

I've always been a battlefield guy, but that anticheat is sketchy af

spring bough
dark kernel
#

I bought my first cod in a decade last year

#

It's like a shooter but really it's just about pumping battle pass money from kids

#

Like I understand cosmetics. But I could never play a game where I spend $70 on the base game, then there's a battle pass system that gets updated like every 2 months. And none of the skins that you unlock roll over to the Future call of duty games that's going to release in 10 months

fresh ermine
#

Smh lol

spring bough
#

thats gross dmg from a healer

keen canopy
#

what the hell is this

#

surely this isnt disc priest out dpsing a demo warlock

#

i surely am reading that wrong

fresh ermine
#

is modern warfare 2 free?

spring bough
#

DH gaming so nice after playing the outlaw for a few days lol

dark kernel
#

Might just save DH for it, since I don't have one

sharp sierra
#

cause old one has an online third party for like 2012 and older cods

wet crown
#

Nerfs hammer of light and nothing else

#

Lmao

sharp sierra
#

sometimes it feels like kb just melts and other times i wonder if it even applied

#

DS fun?

wet crown
#

I will not be convinced otherwise: a high level dev mains ret lol

severe helm
#

lol

#

but nah I think they acknowledge the value in making the easiest class one of the best classes

#

cuz its also one of the most popular

#

gotta keep your main players happy

#

who cares about rogues theres so few of them

acoustic junco
#

honestly, you fix rogue by removing smoke bomb/ tricks of the trade so they can have real damage in PVP again

#

at the highest level, these are the abused things that win games

pliant lintel
#

they already removed duel

acoustic junco
#

duel was dumb too

spring bough
#

idk what happened but the war just said outlaw needs a nerf lol

pliant lintel
#

i made a warr leave shuffle the other day OMEGAKEKW

spring bough
#

love when a hunt dies with exhil heal and turtle both up

pliant lintel
#

smoked him 3 times lol

#

pri + pal trolled r1

pliant lintel
#

then you get that 1 hunter that's insane and makes you want to log off

outer sky
#

I didnt get a chance to look. Did we get any new class tunings????

outer sky
#

It was a lot better before every healer besides hpal had a cool down that could go through it

#

Now days you bomb and you only kill if they dont link, tranq, dome, commune, divine hymn, revival during it

#

Or dont pre-grip, sac, time dial, bark, etc in the global before bomb

#

Which many good healers do all the time

#

Or if they dont run into it by playing with good positioning

#

Or if the other dps doesnt ring of frost, ring of peace, shadow fury, static totem, intervene, chaos nova, or darkness it

#

And then you still need to have the damage to kill in it

#

Its a Hail Mary button

#

Like the other team has to fuck up so badly to lose to smoke bomb that its borderline comical when it happens

gleaming sentinel
#

shuffle just isnt playable half the time bro

#

4 paladins and a frost mage

#

kill me

outer sky
outer sky
#

So no new class tuning?

spring bough
#

Been in a blitz Que for almost two hours……

wet crown
#

Especially when pvp has seperate tuning knobs.

severe helm
#

But they are here to maximize value for money spent

#

So they're gonna have their priorities

wet crown
#

For what, all five pvpers?

#

hey guys do rouges when they stun tap switch target or u have a stun keybind for arena 1,2,3 ?

severe helm
#

Depends on the player

potent pivot
severe helm
#

Some people just have targeting keybinds

potent pivot
#

yeh

severe helm
#

And do everything via changing targets real quick

potent pivot
#

there's a few ways of doing it all

severe helm
#

Some people have arena 123 stun buttons

#

Some just focus binds

#

Very few people tab target who are good

#

Or click target

#

That's not good practice in general imo

exotic dove
#

I just use focus bind for stuns

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

depends on how many of my homies are on tonight

#

might be a CS2 angle

#

i finally got a blitz after queing at probably 6pm

Cracked 2 billion damage in this RBG

new priest tech just dropped, from my buddies pov

median wagon
#

Maybe we can do better

tender tartan
#

skirm for weekly, this is the sub the game gives me

#

lil bro healed the mage

potent pivot
#

Bro wtf is that???

#

22 gloomblades, 21 ruptures, 4 strikes and 3 evis…?

tender tartan
#

yeah

#

??????????

#

ik sub is complex but like

#

wtf is goin on there

dark moon
tender tartan
#

tf happened there lol

abstract stratus
#

mindcontrol and instantly ray of hope, it ends up on the enemy and then you just dump cooldowns during ray of hope with the enemy having no idea theres a ray on them and then when it ends it does the ray of hope thing

tender tartan
#

holy canoli

#

LOL

dark moon
#

I played holy priest in shadowlands and did that a couple of times. Very satisfying

grave basin
#

damn

#

@jaunty osprey nerf black arrow

abstract stratus
#

the enemy healer has about 5 seconds to wonder why there's a random ray of hope on their partner before they poof

tender tartan
#

logic would tell me counterplay is trink and pray your healer isnt dumb and externals you?

abstract stratus
#

healer literally just has to outheal the ray but also a resto shaman isnt expecting to have to pump heals when their partner looks full lol

dark moon
#

Yeah but those 3-4 globals for your healer are kinda whatever as he spent some time in bomb

#

It was harder to do in SL as everyone had WA for ray as it was used almost all matches and this tech was actually frequently used. Now that it's been forgotten its easier and also fun to use

tender tartan
#

highroll enhance without having to play enhance and highroll, appealing

#

(this joke doesnt really work but i wanted to make it anyway)

tender tartan
#

Ele's living in a fantasy world where we're busted

#

healer before this explained that he lined the healer letting me have a free kill

dark moon
#

people are hopeless and insufferable

tender tartan
#

Dystopia

#

Na tho

#

Which yea is basically a dystopia

noble venture
#

MF doesnt need to cast

#

Maybe u dont want to hear it, but its far easier to just not engage with these idiots in chat

#

Saves the stress, imo

tender tartan
#

Aye I usually don't. Something just broke in me because he's tunneling in on rogue being overtuned apparently, while standing still like a buffoon

#

Grounding totem into stand ontop of myself or the monk he just rooted

spring bough
#

can we get a blitz or battleground that we can sky ride in

tender tartan
#

I would have peeled him if I could have but alas, cc'd all game while he uses his utility to sit on a melee dps, so him getting snappy just made me snap a lil

tender tartan
#

End of the day tho its an ignore the dummy moment and let him go 0-6 though

#

Do what I can but keep my mouth shut and win the games I don't have him on my squad for

noble venture
#

yeah some people just dont get it

#

that's like the no.1 rule of solo shuffle for me... if i see something bad from my team, i keep my mouth shut

#

my success is measured on my play, not theirs

#

and of course some people perceive misplays when there's none

tender tartan
#

Aye

noble venture
#

its crazy how sometimes you have to baby them in chat tho, i often end up trying to boost morale after someone starts whining about class balance

tender tartan
#

I want blizzard to let us be op again, idk why mm dh and ret get to press w like this while we get hotfixed instantly :c

#

Let us bleedy gang enjoy life

noble venture
#

hahah yeah maybe

#

i quite like assa's balance right now

#

just enough above average to feel impactful

#

i certainly feel like rogue CC is getting so close to every other class since DF

#

With the duration reductions I swear HOJ is just as long as kidney

grave basin
#

Rogue cc has objectively gotten gutted

#

Patch after patch

#

We're in tbc in terms of needing combo points to even cc

noble venture
#

I would honestly prefer low damage + good CC

#

That's the class identity

#

in my mind

grave basin
#

Yea fuck that

#

We had that in SL

#

That was dog shit design

#

You couldn't do anything on your own

noble venture
#

Idk

grave basin
#

Just an enabler

noble venture
#

That's kind of the point I think

#

It's fine if you think different

#

I just enjoy rogue as a team support spec

#

You can't have your cake and eat it with CC and damage imo

grave basin
#

You literally have that in outlaw

#

Hows that working out

noble venture
#

I think if outlaw wasn't so hard it would be ok

#

Some cracked players still make it work with wizards

grave basin
#

If that were true top outlaws would make it work

noble venture
#

Look idk man I feel like you're coming at me with full heat right now

#

It's not that deep

#

I just enjoy a different rogue than you it's fine

grave basin
#

But what you want already exists

#

Its called outlaw

#

No damage

noble venture
#

Yeah I enjoy outlaw, but the rotation causes too much mental load for me

grave basin
#

Full cc bot

noble venture
#

My brain isn't able to focus on the rest of the game

grave basin
#

And it is objectively the worst spec

#

In the whole game

noble venture
#

Yeah I mean sure

grave basin
#

Like aug level

noble venture
#

I agree it's weak

grave basin
#

Yea why

#

Because no dam

noble venture
#

Dude

#

Chillax

#

Ok ok

grave basin
#

I'm chill brah

noble venture
#

I think if it had the easy rotation of Assa it would rank higher

#

No1 reason it's bad is 100% difficulty

grave basin
#

No it wouldn't

#

So a spec can be hard and good

#

And a spec can be hard and shit

#

Guess where outlaw is

noble venture
#

I mean you know this convo started right?

#

Maybe it wasnt clear but I'm also talking about buffing the CC

#

And by low damage... I mean 20% lower

#

I don't actually have the outlaw dps numbers at hand right now to talk about that specifically

#

But I would prefer to play a rogue that is based around supporting my team. I'm not so interested in the solo huge dam

#

If you think different that's cool

#

Also, I think outlaw isn't doing that bad in the hands of great players

#

This is 3v3 rogue ladder

spring bough
#

first ever crate group and some guys got an addon tracking them to the second lol

grave basin
#

Wait you've never done a crate group

grave basin
#

Do not join the ones that ask you to pay upfront

spring bough
#

i didnt pay anything

sharp sierra
#

You can max cap in like 2ish hours

#

Just ignore HF crate lmao

grave basin
#

There's some scumbag asking for 5k?

#

To even join their raid group

#

Maybe more now

sharp sierra
#

Yeah that’s dumb

#

Asking for 5k gold when 1 mil is like 25$ is insane

#

Jobless

grave basin
#

Apparently the author of the original add-on took it down

#

And it's now behind a paywall

sharp sierra
#

Nah

#

The newest version

#

It’s like a supporter version has like one extra feature

grave basin
#

Interesting

#

I'm not sure I even like this crate farming thing on principle

#

But I'll use it since it's here

sharp sierra
#

It’s better than playing 500 bg games while being cannon fodder

spring bough
#

isnt it pretty much just tracking timers?

sharp sierra
#

PvP gearing is dumb

sharp sierra
grave basin
#

It's more of people not being in lfg anymore

#

And just flying around getting crates

#

And that's just on your faction

#

So minimum 80 people aren't in lfg just from crate farming

spring bough
#

no horde groups are hitting crates thank god

#

this too ez

sharp sierra
#

PvP gear should be free for honor gear

Forcing new plays to stumble through getting smoked is dumb

spring bough
#

my hunter gonna be deleting solo shuffle in a couple of hours

#

But for real horde is so nice in afternoons and late play sessions

#

Alliance is a gank exploit fest

grave basin
#

Horde usually gets AK and HF

#

And ally gets the rest

sharp sierra
#

Yeah we skip UM a lot

grave basin
#

We don't PvP around these parts

sharp sierra
#

Normally all my groups we smoke alliance for hours

#

Just gotta do it later in the day

grave basin
#

Nah usually there's a truce

#

Once a region is known for horde we just skip it

sharp sierra
#

I’ve been wanting to try those world PvP guilds

#

Is that even popular?

grave basin
#

And both groups don't bother each other

sharp sierra
#

They have so many members

grave basin
#

Just maximise conq/hour

grave basin
#

Emerald dream used to be insane

#

During MOP era

#

Now wow is just a lobby game

#

It is what it is

#

Also being able to opt out of war mode completely killed wpvp

spring bough
#

there is an addon on curse right now GCT tracker and it just synced to the guy in the group using RDY

grave basin
#

It still happens but not as much as before

spring bough
#

gates crate tracker

grave basin
#

I honestly haven't downloaded shit

#

Just follow the raid lead

#

They usually spam timers anyway

spring bough
#

ima charge people now lolol

grave basin
#

Popo is typing

stoic spruce
#

Brcause

grave basin
#

Ofc it did

#

You don't have people just naturally out anymore

spring bough
grave basin
#

Like 90% of people disabled war mode

#

And why wouldn't you

#

I'm sure it's actually way higher than 90% too

#

If you don't count the people who turn it on solely for crate farming

exotic dove
#

I stopped playing fatebound in shuffle imo Deathstalker for now seems better for now

#

for assa

grave basin
#

🤔

stoic spruce
#

Wpvp was dying long before WM and not only that, but a lot of people who were in a pvp server didn't want to wpvp all the time and being locked into a pvp realm with no way to change can get annoying.

What REALLY killed warmode was the level squish and everything that accompanied it.

grave basin
#

I mean you're proving my point

#

That wm lowered the amount of people to kill on sight

#

Because most people just perma turn it off

stoic spruce
#

Sure it lowered the average wpvp player but it's not what killed it

grave basin
#

Wpvp died when everyone and their mom rerolled one faction

#

Because blizzard can't balance racials in pvp

stoic spruce
#

Back in bfa, WM was flooded with players.

grave basin
#

Yea legion too with those PvP towers

stoic spruce
#

STV was full of max level players

grave basin
#

But that's not organic wpvp

stoic spruce
#

A lot of old zones had max lvl pvp players

grave basin
#

That's just a cluster fuck of doing PvP objectives

stoic spruce
#

Oh my god

#

Organic wpvp?

grave basin
#

Yea?

stoic spruce
#

Oh the towers yeah

grave basin
#

If you have to put a PvP tower just to PvP then that's not world pvp

#

That's just a glorified small bg

#

Like idk this is just being contrarian

#

If you played mop the amount of people to gank in the open world was insane

#

Then wod came and everyone rerolled alliance

stoic spruce
#

Yes. Assa fb is mid

grave basin
#

And everyone just played ashran and were stuck in their garrisons

stoic spruce
#

It doesnt

#

I know I didn't want to play in a pvp server forever and wm gave me an out when I'm just trying to raid or whatever.

#

But the level squish killed it

#

Because now

#

There's no open world leveling

spring bough
#

this crate farming gets boring fast lol

stoic spruce
#

For sure

grave basin
#

It is mind numbing

Hell even korthia had good wpvp lol

gilded gulch

grave basin

Exactly

#

So leveling wasn't needed

TI and korthia were max evel zones

But had crazy wpvp

stoic spruce
gilded gulch
#

wpvp will always remain a joke

#

when meld flight form

#

exists

grave basin
#

Wrong

#

It remains a joke when follower dungeon exists

stoic spruce
#

Phasing in/out of cities

grave basin
#

Just queue and insta port to dungeon

gilded gulch
#

that too

grave basin
#

Atleast meld flight form is one class

gilded gulch
#

done that when i had 5 stinky horde players

grave basin
#

Any class can abuse follower dungeon queue

gilded gulch
#

on me at once

stoic spruce
#

Meld flight form is the type of wpvp nonsense you sign up for anyway so I don't have an issue with it.

gilded gulch
#

tbh

stoic spruce
#

Not saying it's not annoying

gilded gulch
#

im still surprised people play horde

in modern wow

Fear break wins me games

Never met a nelf I couldn't kill

Yes I love space goats and short humans and super short humans

grave basin
#

Weird way to spell fdk

stoic spruce
#

What on earth do you mean fdk is an obr spec?

grave basin
#

Do you think fdk has 10 buttons or something

gilded gulch
#

ret paladin is pretty much same crayon eater tier as fdk

grave basin
#

Fdk has like 3 rotational buttons

#

Fdk is literally blue Ret pala

#

Without the support

stoic spruce
#

There can be an in-between

grave basin
#

Fdk is just as easy as BM hunter mechanically

#

Like come on lol

stoic spruce
#

I need you to understand

#

It's important

#

When someone says it's not as easy as X spec

#

That doesnt mean they're saying it's super complex

#

I play breath like a man anyway

#

I trinket tf outa disarms

#

We win on go or bust

grave basin
#

Isn't breath meta now

stoic spruce
#

It might be now

#

It was gaining a lot of traction a few weeks ago

#

I'm gonna be that guy and say I played it before it was cool.

#

Hipster dk over here

grave basin
#

I thought you mained uh dk

stoic spruce
#

I main dk in general

#

I played some blood too the other day

exotic dove
#

So far for Assa from what I tested I think Fatebound is better than Deathstalker for 2s. 3s it depends on what you fight but you can play whatever but I tend to play a little more fatebound. In shuffle Deathstalker takes the crown

#

This is more of a personal take for myself so your results may vary but I am sharing just to see what everyone else is doing in comparison

Well I been too hard on myself once again at my current mmr of 2229 if I was that CR I would be top 70 on the Assa rogue ladder for shuffle. Was getting irritated with my 3-3s and those couple of 2-4s

I need to check the ladder more to remove frustrations

Can som1 please explain resto shaman

and what the hell i am suppose to do against it

#

idk which totem to kill

keen canopy
#

grounding, healing stream, healing tide, static, link

#

pretty sure those are the hits

#

healing tide and grounding totems are the main ones

#

and link

grave pier

So if I see any of those totems

spring bough
#

patiently waiting for my first BM solo shuffle que

#

bout to feel some real damage output lol

grave pier
#

do i just kill them?

keen canopy
#

unless you're going to get a kill on a player you kill the totems

#

healing tide does like a morbillion healing
grounding prevents a whole bunch of things
static moves you
link makes people nigh invincible it feels like sometimes

#

stream heals but not as much as tide so it's like lowest on the priority list

#

if it's too much effort to kill i just wouldnt

#

I look at pvp macros/button setups and my brain hurts, I've been learning sin exclusively via pve buttons + a combination of clicking gladius frame to target healer/tabbing when in position for the other targets

#

I should probably just commit to learning a better qol setup, but my fighting game fueled brain goes "I can just hardcast this and barely lose uptime"

#

😔

#

Working harder not smarter and I've convinced myself its time to work smart

#

Thanks for having this bind discussion

#

(Ignore the above, it was me convincing myself to make the swap because if I only thought it I wouldn't bother trying)

spring bough
#

bout to level another outlaw cause why not lmao

pliant lintel
#

@tender tartan if you tab target and have focus 1/2/3 bound with focus cheap kidney kick step blind gouge you'll be fine

tender tartan
#

Bet, ill try that

#

Then apply focus to healer primarily?

#

Shift it as needed?

pliant lintel
#

yes basically, if healer is on DR no point having on focus so swap to something that's going to stop you IE a boomie that likes to spam clone so you can step kick etc

tender tartan
#

Bet tysm

pliant lintel
#

don't forget to do that as well if you're coming from pve

tender tartan
#

10 is 0, so that's how im slapping my poison knife

potent pivot
pliant lintel
#

you have to commit to it though when you change binds

potent pivot
#

Would recommend slowly moving binds over so it doesn’t get too overwhelming maybe

pliant lintel
#

ya

potent pivot
#

When I swapped over I did it in increments of 3 buttons at a time

#

Then I added scroll wheel and was set

lone jasper
#

Scroll wheel for target 1-2-3?

potent pivot
#

Nono

#

Just as binds for abilities n shit

#

Would also recommend making sure you’re not using any good binds for unimportant things, like mounts/poisons for example

pliant lintel
#

Skillcapped used to do pretty good guides on keybindings and ‘good binds’

lone jasper
#

I have everything i need, except binds for focus - blind, gouge kidney. I did them but my brain cant used to, im tabig or clicking the target anyways and its because the binds arenot comfortable. I must try a mouse with keys for sure.

lone jasper
pliant lintel
#

Can you use modifiers for you focus binds?

#

Like focus kidney cheap step kick etc

lone jasper
#

Friend of mine showed and explained it to me, but it seems not easy to get used to it

pliant lintel
#

like trickz said you just need to set 3 at a time and get used to it brother

lone jasper
#

Thanks for the advices ✊🏼

tender tartan
#

yeah that would be my biggest recc, take it piece by piece, and dont feel you have to use every bind on the mouse. use wahts comfortable to you

#

also just do what makes sense to you yanno

#

for me, 5 being mobility, and ctrl 5 being "sit the fuck down" simply makes sense

#

1-2-3 all have some kinda core component im not constantly pressing, but need access to easily, shift 1-2-3 are cd tools, following up on that "important, but not always pressing"

#

e-q build spend is how i try to balance out

#

there's logic to my setup it just looks psychotic without the thought chain

lone jasper
#

I think there are no people with identical binds. Never thought about why i use for example q for kick and v - for vanish and f for sprint but im used to it. I must just add some new buttons and get used to a new ones, its better than change oldies

tender tartan
#

And that's perfectly fine, cuz it clicks to me

tender tartan
#

If I think about an action I want, I want to hit the same button just with a modifier to cover varying situations

#

I should prolly get my spam builder off 4 or ill have to replace my mouse soon LOL

lone jasper
tender tartan
#

Kidney for me is control 5 because 5 is movement related in my head and I'm controlling the movement

#

1 is cheap in stealth bar stealth otherwise (i should change this)

#

A better example would be evasion/cloak

#

Physical, I hit 6

#

Magic i hit shift 6

pliant lintel
#

as long as you can press trinket + defensives without a delay and your offensive cooldowns with your rotational abilities you're good

lone jasper
#

I mean - 3 blind, 3 gouge, and so on

tender tartan
#

I currently step to target/get near target with mouseover, tab, kidney/gouge/whatever

#

I'm gonna work on 123's

#

but rn, that's what i do

pliant lintel
#

Here you go pretty good guide

#

Ignore the fact it’s from DF the logic is the same

runic laurel
#

I feel like kidney as a modifier of your movement bind can be a bit problematic cause it’s not very flexible long term

#

Like if ctrl 5 is kidney what would you bind focus kidney to if you wanted to start using focus binds?

#

Obviously there’s more than one solution but to me it seems like if you want 5 to be your movement bind you could do 5=step, shift 5=focus step, ctrl 5=sprint or some niche step macro or something

pliant lintel
#

ctrl 5 step team mate/healer 🧠

tender tartan
#

but yeah all my current bindings were with pve in mind, it'll be a transition period

pliant lintel

@outer sky how do i one shot with FB sin whats the setup

potent pivot

basically the same as pve

#

oh i cropped out CB

spring bough
#

so pretty much shiv deathmark KB before the big burst

dark moon
#

if you're running with amp poison you might want to also play death from above

potent pivot
#

just make sure you envenom twice

#

to eat both the cold bloods

spring bough
#

i guess im dropping Deeper strat for CB?

potent pivot
outer sky
# spring bough <@339519002961248258> how do i one shot with FB sin whats the setup

I don't play that build. I dont even play deathmark anymore. But I have played it. And when i did i found it was far more reliable to not play inevitable end and macro Cold Blood to kingsbane. That way you get like 5 or 6m damage all in 1 global after shiv with badge and tea. But if you play it the "right way" you'd take inevitable end and still macro cold blood to kingsbane (because inevitable end will prevent it from being consumed by kingsbane) and press it at 4 combo points into an envenom thats guaranteed to crit. Its a bit more damage but it is slower. Ive won lots of games with all 3 builds but I prefer aoe bleed build without deathmark or kingsbane>fatebound using cold blood with kingsbane>fatebound with inevitable end

But that last one is currently the most popular so take my words with a grain of salt. But thats what's working best for me

jaunty mirage
#

What non-deathmark build do you play

spring bough

yeah i just did 1 round with FB lost.... next with DS did 2milly DPS won real quick

# tender tartan this is actually really fucking fun wow lol

Another thing I do is, when you have empowered garrote active, so for 12 seconds after breaking stealth, use garrote as your main combo point builder even if you already have full duration garrotes up. Its 45 energy and guarantees you 3 combo points which makes it way more efficient than mutilate which is usually going to give you 2 or fan of knives which will usually give you 1 or at most 2 if you crit. So per combo point garrote after vanish is by far the most efficient combo point to energy ratio gloabl and it also cleaves so it still spreads your MS

gleaming sentinel

and do u guys just macro badge with kb and dm?

so unless you double/triple cc while you're popping, you cant get a kill

wish I had friends that I can test that with in real 3s as it would be a lot of fun I think

and did zero damage when he was on my team

then on the enemy team he suddenly remembered and won against me 3x

#

i love this game

dark moon
# exotic dove It is more reliable

Yeah, it's always like that when there's a one-shot build, which is fine. But not going to lie, when you kill someone that's not suspecting the burst ita quite funny.

#

I'm trying to play the mind game seeing who's reacting to what and maybe even send the one shot first round and then go regular bleed

exotic dove
#

Yeah I think Fatebound is more reliable in 2s and 3s though but in Shuffle its miserable. Deathstalker im regaining the mmr I lost

#

Still a work in progress though but ill be positive win rate again soon and back to the mmr I was at on all my Rogues

sharp sierra
#

I’ll check out DS for shuffles and see how it goes

#

Playing around the 1 min mark for a evoker to go “lol no” is annoying as hell lmao

exotic dove
#

Also with Deathstalker its easy to play mind games with evokers and pallies because I can win games without pressing Deathmark and they only want to use BOP or evoker dispell on Deathmark

I’ve been learning to play pillar more and getting nature restealthe has helped out A LOT

Feel like DS is better overall

But I just sort of don’t like the shoehorning of ambush weaving

I think in shuffle yeah Deathstalker is better

jaunty mirage
#

I think they are close enough that it’s sort of whatever

#

DS isn’t like miles better or anything

exotic dove
#

My one rogue that I did only deathstalker on ended up with a much higher winrate cause I was trying to make fatebound work like it did in 2s and 3s on my main rogue and the other Rogues I have

#

71% win rate and at 2321 mmr told me all I needed to know

jaunty mirage
#

I think fatebound unironically is better when you’re not trying to play around big coin flip envenoms

#

The way to play fatebound is to just zug damage

#

Ambush component of DS will always make it less popular

exotic dove
#

I got used to it and found myself to enjoy it now

#

which I do find weird about myself

jaunty mirage
#

Fair though

exotic dove
#

But like I can play fatebound too its really good in 2s and the 3s I did just interesting how its different in shuffle but it is what it is

#

I have no issues playing Deathstalker

Like I said, I think DS and fb are close enough that it doesn’t really matter what you pick unless you’re a tournament level player

#

Yeah shuffle is sort of its own thing hahaha

Shuffle be like that its fine I play DS for Shuffle and FB for the 2s and 3s if I get to play 3s again
