Popo might have a stroke

Wonder what blinds new duration will be for PvP

stoic spruce
#

its baked into Ace and we're not on a timer from subt anymore

spring bough
#

It’s built in aoe blind now

stoic spruce
#

its good

spring bough
#

GG one healer blind

stoic spruce
#

I'm actually a huge fan of these changes

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

yeah that one is lame

#

but overall I like it

#

Stealthless outlaw is back baby PirateHeart

#

dude

#

uhuh being gone

spring bough
#

Gonna have to get used to that again

stoic spruce
#

is such a godsend for outlaw

spring bough
#

Pls tell me evasion CDR baked into restless

quaint cedar
#

Nothing about that in the notes. But it's still early

spring bough
#

Damn so I’m actually gonna have to use evasion when I need it and not ripping it off cd to get it back again 😆

dark kernel
#

I mean If we get stuck chasing we get big CDR

#

For a little

#

Grappling talent in main tree a little cooky

#

Cool blooded looks way too strong to not take

#

The proc rate on that makes it seem like every finisher is a guaranteed crit

quaint cedar
#

I have no idea how to feel about these changes

noble venture
#

Does assa care about the cheapshot changes? Generally you expect your team to CC the other targets as well, so I am unsure

quaint cedar
#

I guess I'm happy to see that outlaw doesn't need to rely on 6 second stealth windows anymore. But HO changes seem fried af idk

quaint cedar
#

Can we get kidney shot unnerfed now that cheap shot has a cooldown? Like does blizzard realize how much CS is carrying rogue right now?

noble venture
potent pivot
#

if you're not using cheap at all, yes its wrong

noble venture
#

I'm never running around the map using cheapshot on 3 guys, but maybe I should be

#

Of course I press it when positioning allows for it

#

But it's not like the main CC

potent pivot
#

double or triple cheaping 1 target, etc

outer sky
#

Can someone post the link to these changes please

quaint cedar

Yeah that especially destroys sub

potent pivot
#

KEKL compensation? you're getting fucked and you're going to like it

tight hill
#

i think im going to level a dh lol

quaint cedar
#

But effects all of us of course

noble venture
gleaming pawn
#

Yeah we won’t even be getting damage tuning compensation for this shit. Don’t worry

quaint cedar
#

Only 2 DRs now instead of 3 is also a huge change

potent pivot
#

also adding a CD to it is an insane nerf

noble venture
#

I think it's totally an unnecessary change for sure

#

But I don't think it's nuclear meltdown levels

gleaming pawn
#

Yep only sub will be able to no-gap lock someone down now

spring bough
quaint cedar
#

I mean KS was nerfed because we could all spam CS and now we can't do that so....KS needs to be fixed

spring bough
#

We gonna join solo shuffle and people gonna be like “get this shit utility rogue out of here”

#

Aoe blind….. GG prob reduced duration for healer CC

quaint cedar
#

Sounds like a reroll feral angle to me lol

potent pivot
spring bough
#

Good thing I got a BM and DH ready

potent pivot
#

worse than the kidney nerfs

spring bough
#

They just gutted a 21 year old ability

#

For the fuck of it

quaint cedar
#

I had a feeling this was coming and I'm still mad

spring bough
#

21 years barely changed since vanilla

#

And now they just said fuck u rogues

noble venture
#

It's crazy timing, I was reading some crazies on the wow pvp subreddit talk about how they wanted this exact change, same CD and all LOL

spring bough
#

Blizz dev on Reddit what a surprise

quaint cedar
#

Doesn't matter, blizzard doesn't want rogues dominating pvp anymore. Any time a rogue spec does good in AWC these days it gets gutted

jolly sierra
#

if rogue goes extremely dire, explain me at midnight s1 pls

outer sky
#

Theyre also making glad easier to get

gusty hedge

these outlaw changes feel like the same bs people are putting on the forums 🤮

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER
Elite Rank is now attained at 2300 personal rating (was 2400). Additionally, this also means that correlated ranks and titles such as Legend, Strategist, and Gladiator will have their game win requirements to be at or above 2300.

ye

And for them to fix MMR

gleaming pawn
#

Preemptive move knowing how few people will be playing 3s next season? kekdog

potent pivot
#

yeah i saw someone say earlier

#

when ven was showing the glad mount on stream

#

"20 people will get that mount!"

gleaming pawn
#

lol so true

outer sky
#

I feel like if they make these achievements too easy to get they'll lose their value

spring bough
#

No one wants to put in the work to do fucking squat

#

Participation trophy society

outer sky
#

Is any other class having an "oh shit" moment right now reading these changes?

#

Similar to us reading about the cheap shot CD?

spring bough
#

Probably not

#

Cyclone is still the same so it’s like guess it’s just rogue

outer sky
#

I have no idea how theyre going to balance sub. If you cant control the enemy team during dance you'll get peeled every single go. It's already hard enough

potent pivot
#

flag removed

dance and sec tech CDR are HASTED now instead of from finishers

Can’t see the new glad mount

Sub with haste is so funny

GG mastery stacking to get haste 😂

potent pivot

in one of the latest posts

Oh nm yea I see it

spring bough

Gonna hurt ur damage % dropping mastery to pickup haste for cdr lol

gleaming sentinel
spring bough
#

Prob not even worth it to get haste

pliant lintel

rip sub

#

time to make a DH

fluid trench
#

Damn that really fucks sub

outer sky
#

Certainly they have to have a plan for that

#

it so obviously deletes the spec

spring bough
#

Maybe that’s the goal

outer sky
spring bough
#

Make it so bad no one plays it then they can completely change it to something else

#

This fury warrior death talent better not work in PvP

#

If I die to a fury warrior on last breath and he lives ima lose my shit

gleaming sentinel
#

No triple Dr cc and less spiky healing encounters makes me consider wanting to heal again

jolly sierra
spring bough
#

They gonna save it all for when kidney and cheap down and just send it at us

quaint cedar
#

Dude our CC is so gutted at this point like why even play rogue? What is our purpose?

gleaming sentinel
#

Cheap shot is why everyone hates rogue. I really
Hope this leads to being more balanced for things like shuffle. They are always hesitant to buff dmg since we can triple cheap

outer sky
rose thorn
#

wait what happened did we get nerfed there’s no way

gleaming sentinel
potent pivot
#

first blind was why everyone hated rogue, then blind->sap, then kidney shot, now cheap shot

#

everyone is going to fucking hate rogue regardless

#

blizzard is just cooked

Blind def gonna be no longer than 3 seconds

I'm just saying man, gladiator is 100% attainable like I got my 1st one S1 of this xpac and I'm not even good at the game. Ask Ivan if you don't believe me, he'll tell you

#

Looking like sin got it the worst without playing it

molten hedge
#

I think sub got it way worse wdym

potent pivot
#

nah

#

assa got the most and worst design changes

#

sub got a couple big/bad changes

woven gale
#

Im just hoping Outlaw is good in pvp

#

I like the funny pirate

potent pivot
#

but assa is like a full 180 in design

wet crown
#

Did sub not get something to remove cheap cd in dance or whatever

pliant lintel
#

yea

wet crown
#

I guess the plus side of that is we might do damage without being a pure cc bot - nvm

pliant lintel
#

no it will still play the same you just have less modifiers to stack now and less cc

gleaming sentinel
wet crown
#

Surely that means pvp tuning will be good for onc-hahahha sorry I cant

outer sky

its also the first changes announced of the alpha. things will change

obsidian pulsar

play a dh = autowin

spring bough
wet crown
#

I hate to admit it

#

But devourer looks...fun?

#

And I genuinely do not like havoc

potent pivot
#

the only thing that will change a lot is tuning

#

these base design choices won't really change unless they cause issues

#

just watch

spring bough
#

Idk I feel like a good amount of this design bullshit gonna change when it don’t work

wet crown
#

Uproar can get things changed

#

It has before at this stage so

molten hedge
gleaming pawn
#

Assa is really slowing down and focusing on chaining envenoms after pooling. It’s going to be so bad, after even worse energy problems

spring bough

We just quit discord until they give us what we want. Just be like rets

with all these changes will rogues be better in a pve environment now?

But 2.5 secs of immunity

Yeah might be the DH expansion for me

#

Bout to start training now

The changes themselves don't really inherently help in pve

the CT change is deffo for m+

no need to worry rogue always broken anyway

Like really rogue pves big issue was resetting fights with vanish

Can’t quit outlaw bro

True

those things never got changed

outer sky

#

even expansions later

spring bough
wet crown
#

I think it's funny they removed vanish from dps rotation because people who don't play rogue are bad at rogue.

potent pivot
#

look the deathstalkers mark

#

since beta everyone has wanted garrote to apply it

wet crown
potent pivot
#

now - an entire expansion later - they're going to let garrote apply it

Most boring shit ever

Inc fat garrote nerf PvP week 1 when everyone complains

Is assa still gonna be reliant on subterfuge I imagine?

For the goes etc

I think that's better though

Wait did I read that right cheap shot has a 15 second cooldown?

Outlaw has kidney and aoe blind now GG

So if we don’t kill someone in 15 seconds we lose.

Cheap change would be good if it was on its own dr again

quaint cedar
# potent pivot

That was posted by bigmoran right? I think he corrected it afterwards

potent pivot
#

idk

rose thorn
#

We literally have nothing that makes us stand out now 😑

quaint cedar
#

But I'm not sure really

potent pivot
#

it was posted by the skillcapped twitter

quaint cedar
#

I saw a post for it on r/worldofpvp that had the correction but yeah not sure really

potent pivot
#

yea no idea ngl

quaint cedar
#

Stupid either way lol

pliant lintel
#

yea it's just 12 sec CD

#

in class changes says nothing about charges

potent pivot
#

not gonna know for sure til i see the alpha itself

#

patch notes aren't always 100% correct

#

but yeh

#

might have just been a mistake on skillcapped's end

#

but all those websites get early access to info so they can put it out when the time comes etc

fathom crag
#

where is my plunder armor for outlaw

outer sky
#

IMO they could maybe balance this for assa and outlaw if they make cheap shot usable without stealth

#

but that aint gunna happen

pliant lintel
#

yea and restless blades doesnt give vanish cdr anymore either

exotic dove
#

To be fair this change wont affect most of the Rogue community I dont see enemy Rogues cheap shot an entire team until like 2300

#

in shuffle

#

They use it once and then dont use it again

wet crown
#

Aff is a dot spec again

#

Definitely gonna alt it lol

outer sky

the 2 charges is with dance i think

This isn't making it tho so fear will DR stuns, yeah?

where are you getting that idea

bit of a weird way to say it agree, see on alpha ig

pliant lintel

I'm gunna need to play the PTR for this. I invented this xpac's go-to assa build for the 1st 2 seasons. Guess the community calls on me to do it once again 🫡

@fluid trench dude should i keep the zandalari or just go human to abuse double trink?

i really hate how they manages changes

#

first MFD, then kidney cd, then cheap shot nerf, then veil

now butchering, without compensations xd

Absolutely shit on

pliant lintel

basically if you play rogue into a melee cleave now you might as well just afk haha

wet crown

We already have to click 15 buttons to do half the damage of everyone else

wet crown

Aff locks gonna farm people

#

They have actual rot pressure again

rose thorn
#

I will 100% be playing afflock

jolly sierra
#

other specs are complaining hard recentlly but the biggest victims here are us since long time ago xd

wet crown
#

I'm 100% playing lock but probably maining outlaw or mage

jolly sierra
#

this is just the nail in the coffin

rose thorn
#

at least tell me ret got nerfed bad please PLEASE

jolly sierra
#

according to our trusted ret main

wet crown
#

Ret doesn't look that diff lol #favoritism

they are adding them skill check

yup nail in the coffin

3 button rotation 5m dps same cc as us

This is exactly what happened to legion sub

#

Dumbed it tf down and it was awful

rose thorn
#

2 isn’t even good 😭

pliant lintel
#

and restless blades no longer gives vanish cdr so you won't be cheap shotting much on outlaw

#

it's just going to be a brawler spec now i guess

wet crown
#

The fact aff, ret and outlaw are the best looking specs design wise is alarming

gleaming sentinel
#

Devastation is basically the same spec

spring bough
#

Ima play the opposite of what’s the meta again on outlaw and try to make it a thing

pliant lintel

im going to main feral

no cycle changes and removal of blood talons poggers

on the new assa rogue shit

it seems interesting, ima miss current crimson tmep but

the new stuff seems legit

Also 5% move speed feels nice

pve duration i think

My friend said everyone’s dooming and rog still OP. He has a pp so ig ur all wrong

noble venture
#

he has a big pianissimo?

rose thorn
#

no average player is doing anything op on rogue

#

it requires A LOT

molten hedge
#

Idk what that means

#

Avg players do avg things

noble venture
#

An average player gets less mileage out of rogue than they would a warrior, etc

rose thorn
#

Above average even

#

you need teammates to be good on rogue

fluid trench
#

An average player gravitates to ret thinks they’re a god and turns into toxic waste ruining my class

noble venture
#

they should have AI scan the chat from rets, if they're toxic they get a 25% damage debuff for forsaking the light

fluid trench
#

Imo reduce damage done by 10% during forbearance

#

Humble the bubblers

noble venture
#

forbearance... that's funny

#

it's a non debuff hahaha

fluid trench
#

Make it a double edged sword to offensive bubble or bop

gleaming pawn
#

Bring back paladin’s inability to attack during bubble, fuck the rets

fluid trench
#

I’m not saying g they should

#

In fact it needs a nerf

#

But that’s blizz

gleaming pawn
#

We get nerfed all the time without compensation. Fuck the rets into the ground

rose thorn
#

All because the best players in the game play rogue

fluid trench
rose thorn
#

just get rid of bubble from ret and idc what happens

fluid trench
#

Not to mention ret complains more than anyone else

rose thorn
#

buff their damage to infinity just remove the damn bubble 😭

noble venture
fluid trench
#

Remove bubble in pvp and make it a better shield of vengeance instead so it’s like thorns/karma, not impossible to deal with but not outright losing a defensive. Tone the damage down by 10% and make my utility matter like it should

rose thorn
#

wow can you please take over the ret discord

outer sky
# rose thorn you need teammates to be good on rogue

Honestly ive been saying for a while that they should give the option to allow dps to queue with AI healers in shuffle up to a certain rating. AI would probably do a better job than most actual 1800 rated healers and if you just programmed it to say something snarky every time someone dies with a defensive available nobody would even be able to tell the difference. Only problem is forcing AI to heal low rated shuffle is probably the most surefire way to start the AI uprising

noble venture
#

So will cheapshot have 2 charges?

rose thorn
#

LMAOO

noble venture
#

I'm seeing conflicting info

rose thorn
noble venture
#

Right..

#

Ok

noble venture
#

And the cooldown will exist for assa/outlaw too?

rose thorn
#

Yes

rose thorn
#

but for sub if you shadow dance it resets cd I think so honestly not horrible

fluid trench
noble venture
#

Does vanish reset the cooldown for assa/outlaw?

rose thorn
noble venture
#

Or provide a free charge, etc

rose thorn
noble venture
#

Ok, cool cool

rose thorn
#

Could be wrong tho but for sub I know that’s true

# languid ravine wintrading like I said

My favorite was I got blamed for a WSG loss last night. I FC. Got to mid. Stop. Evo comes to me i drop. Evo rescues and leaves flag behind enemy caps. We get tied. After the tie I return flag from enemy and our devo dies in our tunnel. Then last play of game I kill EFC. Enemy rogue picks before I return and is 2% our Evo dies and they cap we lose. And somehow everyone blamed me like what lol

rose thorn

think I ll take another 6 months break from blitz that was enough

I’m fed up with being blamed everytime my team loses lmao

Like I had two other players with me on O on the last play of the game last night. And neither of them could kill a rogue at 2% before he capped. I was stunned and in a smoke bomb when it happened

Guys I practiced stunning two times in a shuffle every minute on sub it didn’t go well

severe helm

I called both of these

And cheap shot cdr

@potent pivot

#

such a good change

dark kernel
#

Yeah the change to two DRs has been suggested since DF

spring bough
#

love when i ask a brain dead war if they dumb for charging in on frost DK's 1 min CD thingy with the slow

#

and he just goes "sure ill do nothing" then proceeds to just sit the next round.... unreal lol

oh and he was 710 ilvl in pve gear too GG

what you mean

i got this image from my friend

you saying he's a liar?

#

go check patch notes

spring bough
#

have u guys had moments in rated where u arent lagging and pressing buttons does nothing

noble venture
#

hard to say if that's the game being weird, or me pressing the wrong button though

gleaming sentinel
#

we got dazed to turtle

#

rofl

spring bough
#

no its literally nothing happens

#

like i press a button and nothing

#

but i can interact and type

#

its crazy

noble venture

Maybe alt modifier is being held

Or something similar

spring bough

nope

noble venture

Dunno

get serious bout glad next season

i think i can get multi elite now

if they drops it to 2k3

#

in df s4 i recall getting 2k3 w the rog after tryharding too much

hybrid palm
#

will the finality crit changes override pvp crit cap ?

molten hedge
#

Can’t target them

#

In shuffle

grave basin
#

Cheap Shot now has a 12 second cooldown.

#

I repeat Cheap Shot now has a 12 second cooldown.

#

Kidney nerfed cheap shot nerfed blind nerfed

woven gale
#

Hopefully they make rogue pump like mad to offset the massive control nerfs

hidden moth
#

Cc only useable 2x before immune now as well

halcyon timber
#

They can't claim "b b b ut you have cc" as an excuse.

hidden moth
#

They will

halcyon timber
#

I dig the changes and look forward to seeing the rest of the talents. We have 3 in each hero tree and apex talents that will likely influence some things so the pve cultists can calm down.

hidden moth
#

Meanwhile assa will be dog shit bc

#

It’s no longer a dot class but a spam envenom as much as possible

stoic spruce
#

Love yall

halcyon timber
#

Lots of people were pissed about being "melee affliction" that has been echo chambered

hidden moth
#

I’m calling it now assa will have the same fucking damage profile as sub and outside of kb we will do 0 damage

stoic spruce
#

Big outlaw changes

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

Unholy is melee demo lock

stoic spruce
#

What a time to be alive

hidden moth
#

That’s the fucking spec

halcyon timber
#

Dunno, I'm not one for hijacking and "mah fantasy" nonsense

#

seen plenty of that over the years. Envenoms being solid is good for those who enjoy it and I won't go against it

hidden moth
#

Shit just looks ass imo

halcyon timber
#

All styles co-exist through talents

hidden moth
#

Gonna be energy starved like a mother fucker

#

Tea got nerfed

halcyon timber
#

It's s1 , that's prone to happen

grave basin
#

Assa now basically requires 100% uptime

halcyon timber
#

and tuning and other stuff and we repeat the cycle as expected

grave basin
#

From what I'm reading

hidden moth
#

^

stoic spruce
#

Just the mastery is gone

grave basin
#

Need to chain envenoms

hidden moth
#

Can’t let envenom buff fall off

halcyon timber
#

if the core kit does it via talents then nothing was lost

hidden moth
#

For assa

#

Was the mastery

#

14% more damage basically

grave basin
#

You'd macro it to shiv anyway

hidden moth
#

^

grave basin
#

The energy part was irrelevant

hidden moth
#

u didn’t use tea for the energy u used it for the mastery and now that’s gone it’s a waste of a talent point

#

Take the 2 points of extra energy a above it and put the extra point in recoup

#

Lmfaooo

tender tartan
#

playing blitz to cure my shuffle sadness, encounter ret pres on comms in ctf

#

what fun

gleaming sentinel
#

i know dazed was being nice, but this made my day. they curb stomped us with kindness

potent pivot
#

No

#

Also the new midnight specs have WAY less energy regen

molten hedge
hidden moth
#

but like

#

even then

#

at least for pve the only reason u took tea was mast

#

and in pvp i never

#

used it for energy

#

i feel like they took rouge out back with these changes

potent pivot
hidden moth
#

like im a small victorian boy being escorted into the back room of the vatican

#

by the preecher man

potent pivot
#

The energy is a very big part of why it was so strong

hidden moth
#

whysper said dont use it for energy

#

to even send it in aoe when at 300/300 energy for the mast buff

potent pivot
#

Ppl underestimate just how strong the energy alone is

#

Yes, in aoe

#

Sure

#

Because not using your button in aoe is like, what are you doing?

hidden moth
#

i am very much hating the crimson tempest changes as well

#

i like that we can spread bleeds better but

#

crimson temp being some of our best damage and pressure

potent pivot
#

But that doesn’t mean the energy isn’t a big part of its value

hidden moth
#

gonna be hard to make up for it unless envenom hits for 50% of the targets hp a cast

potent pivot
#

Especially when ramping/hitting only a target or a couple

#

All bleed builds basically got taken out back for midnight

hidden moth
#

and thats assa

#

bleeds

#

is assa

potent pivot
#

It’s all kb/envenom/poison

hidden moth
#

kb wont do shit

#

its nerfed already in pvp

sharp sierra
#

No racial changes, NE legion spam it is

potent pivot
#

Which is weird coming from the amount of options we’ve had for the past couple years

#

But

#

A return to that is what I wanted anyway

hidden moth
#

and u know that some bitch boy is gonna complain if it does even 1/100th of someones hp in damage

potent pivot
#

So we’ll see how it goes

hidden moth
#

envenom spam assa just feels like

#

diet sub

#

or oulaw zero

potent pivot
#

Bleed build assa was just brainless with no kill pressure

molten hedge
#

Tbh

potent pivot
#

We’re also getting a stat squish

halcyon timber
#

how dare you want impactful abilities man

molten hedge
#

You can MAYBE get a kill every 2 mins

#

It’s horrid

potent pivot
#

So we’re legit going back to Shadowlands feels

molten hedge
#

Didn’t ppl hate slands

potent pivot
#

Poisons, auto attacks, envenom

hidden moth
#

i liked rot comps

molten hedge
#

I didn’t play

hidden moth
#

the aoe pressure of the dots

#

was what felt good

#

the cc felt good

#

now we dont even have that

potent pivot
molten hedge
#

Good nuff for me

#

Are you still dooming on sub? Surely Blizz devs will make rog great again

#

🤣

potent pivot
#

Idek

molten hedge
#

It’s so outta left field

potent pivot
#

The sub changes seem incredibly out of touch

#

They’re just trying to force haste to have value

#

Not the end of the world, just no one likes when they do shit this way

hidden moth
#

tbh

#

with the cc changes so taht

molten hedge
#

What tuning or changes would it take for haste to be a better stat @potent pivot

hidden moth
#

u cant triple dr

#

and now can only cc 2x before immunity

#

rogue was cooked

#

before the changes of cheap being a 8 second fucking cd

potent pivot
molten hedge
hidden moth
#

if shit launches this way i might delete my rogues ngl

potent pivot
hidden moth
#

12

#

god thats so fucking bad

potent pivot
hidden moth
#

even wit hsubterfuge thats only 1 cheap per vanish

#

whats the fucking point of subterfuge then

potent pivot
#

Running subterfuge is prolly dead anyway

hidden moth
#

if we dont need it for dsm dont need it for aoe gar aoe rup

#

like

hidden moth
#

killed my boy

grave basin
#

NGL the more I read the rog section the worse it gets

#

So sub is just ww monk but worse now?

hidden moth
grave basin
#

I don't get what sub is supposed to be

hidden moth
#

go kurt kobain

grave basin
#

Since cc drs after two dr

#

And Cs is 12 second cd

hidden moth
grave basin
#

What's subs niche ??

hybrid palm
# potent pivot The what

crit damage bonus has been modified on the spells for finality, i thot crit bonus was capped at 150% for pvp, does it override that

grave basin
#

Also indirect buff to orcs btw

hidden moth
potent pivot
#

Any crit damage modifiers still apply

grave basin
#

Outlaw and sub are alrdy teemu versions of each other

#

Just depends on tuning

hybrid palm
grave basin
#

But now outlaw has no cdr on vanish

potent pivot
#

Idk how else to say it I just spelled it out

grave basin
#

So how does that work

potent pivot
#

Outlaw won’t need vanish anymore

grave basin
#

Yea but what does it bring now

#

It used to have control

#

Now what

potent pivot
#

Nothing

grave basin
#

Why not just fury warrior or ww

potent pivot
#

At this point

grave basin
#

Does everything the Same

potent pivot
#

They’re dumbing the game down too much

grave basin
#

Other than kidney

potent pivot
#

For all the 1600-1800 Andy’s

gleaming sentinel
potent pivot
#

Just obliterating all the skill expression we had left

grave basin
#

Idk Rog seems to be going down this perma uptime space

#

And it's just piss

#

We alrdy saw it with current outlaw

#

It just doesn't work

hybrid palm
#

most of the skill expression was through addons spotting cooldown usage, im glad that's finally gone (hopefully with release)

potent pivot
hybrid palm
#

it is

potent pivot
#

Don’t start being cringe

grave basin
#

No it isn't lmao

potent pivot
#

It isn’t at all

hybrid palm
#

not being cringe, i've always complained about addons :D, moment i use blades get cc-ed

#

that's not pvp gameplay

potent pivot
#

That’s a skill issue

hybrid palm
#

i don't use addons

#

so it creates a huge informational gap

#

that gap is gone now

potent pivot
#

Just wait

grave basin
#

So you intentionally handicap yourself

potent pivot
#

You will still see that gap

grave basin
#

??

potent pivot
#

Come midnight

hybrid palm
#

nope i wont see the gap

potent pivot
#

You will see just how wrong you are

#

I promise you will

hybrid palm
#

i promise you i wont

potent pivot
#

Ok man

#

Whatever you say

hybrid palm
#

i m pretty high ranked in other pvp game environments

potent pivot
#

When you get CCed the second you hit blades

#

You’ll see

hybrid palm
#

won't happen

potent pivot
#

It 100% will

hybrid palm
#

nope 😄

#

it happens cause of addons

potent pivot
#

The fact that you think this way

#

Tells me all I need to know

hybrid palm
#

classic gaslight

potent pivot
#

It happens because you aren’t setting up properly

grave basin
#

You know for most specs there's a huge indicator you're gonna burst right

#

Surely when I see twin moons on a boomy

#

He's not gonna read me a bedtime story

potent pivot
#

And they’re making those indicators more apparent in midnight

#

Everyone is going to know when you press blades still

#

1000%

hybrid palm
#

no you can't set up perfectly on all 3, one can always cc you, and delaying for perfect setup is just losing the round

#

it is full add on based game play

hybrid palm
#

well then time will tell, at least what i kept asking blizzard for is coming through. and i got trolled on this channel saying it will never happen 😄

grave basin
#

No one denies its gonna happen or not

#

We are denying it's gonna make any difference for 1800 andies

karmic summit
hybrid palm
#

right now if i press blades, enemy has weakauras screaming at them shadowblades

#

that will stop

karmic summit
#

And you have teammates aswell that can stun off your gauge

potent pivot
#

They’re catering to brand new players and average skill players

#

But what you don’t get

karmic summit
potent pivot
#

Is that they’re making all the information available in some way still

grave basin
potent pivot
#

The same shit is going to happen to you

grave basin
#

Or do you blades air?

hybrid palm
#

sure, so what's the prblem 😄 let's do it in the new expansion without addons

potent pivot
#

You aren’t going to magically seem better because of no addons

hybrid palm
#

and let's see how reliably a rogue does it without addon vision on enemy

karmic summit
#

Like we wont see stun drs in arenas

spring bough
#

Sounds like we losing Diminish and most WAs. PvP gonna be raw dogged

#

Time to start counting DR times in ur head 😂

potent pivot
#

They’ve already stated

karmic summit
potent pivot
#

They said “in a later update” so either beta/PTR or maybe mid expansion?

spring bough
#

If blizz fucks up this launch with their updates. Everyone’s gonna be dogging on them lol

potent pivot
#

If there’s no Omnibar people will go back to timing the CD of abilities on their own

#

Through a timer irl or on the pc

grave basin
#

I don't even use omnibar and still got elite last season

potent pivot
#

There’s legit no way to stop it just because you remove addons

grave basin
#

People are hard overestimating

grave basin
#

The impact it has

potent pivot
karmic summit
#

I kinda like the idea of no omni bar

spring bough
#

I just want my weak auras man. I don’t trust blizz w shit

potent pivot
#

I track some kicks and cc

spring bough
#

Hekili gone too rip

potent pivot
#

Hekilli is in the game

karmic summit
spring bough
#

Yeah one button but it’s not the same

potent pivot
spring bough
#

Hekili >> blizz one button or whatever they got

potent pivot
#

The rotation assist has a hekilli style

#

Where it’s not one button

karmic summit
#

Just knowing it exists is kinda demotivating feeling unfair

karmic summit
#

Becouse omnibar fks my pc i cant use it

potent pivot
#

Idk it just doesn’t matter at the end of the day imo

karmic summit
#

I think it matters but just not that much

grave basin
#

It matters more for casters for interrupts

karmic summit
#

Like wouldnt give a duelist player elite

#

But it would make the game smooter knowing who has which buttons

#

Or if none knows

potent pivot
#

You’ll still know

#

It’ll just be off memory

karmic summit
#

Its like tracking summoner spells in league

potent pivot
#

There’s an in game timer you can use

#

That’s how awc players tracked shit way back in the day

#

But idk no addons to me just makes the game far worse

#

As far as visual clutter and blizzards shortcomings

#

Addons pick up the slack

acoustic junco
#

Im going to miss diminish

grave basin
#

Seems like sv hunter/uh DK/ ww are top contenders for me

potent pivot
#

Forgetting DH?

grave basin
#

@potent pivot is sub just a flat profile spec now

#

I don't really like DH but I'm willing to try the new spec

potent pivot
grave basin
#

Looks like you'll always have dance up

#

So back to legion ?

potent pivot
grave basin
#

Is dance cdr ontop of the haste ?

potent pivot
#

No

grave basin
#

Or is cdr being replaced with haste

potent pivot
#

Haste only

grave basin
#

What

potent pivot
#

Sec tech CDR too

grave basin
potent pivot
grave basin
#

Just creatively bankrupt when it comes to rogues

potent pivot
#

dance CDR added SKILL EXPRESSION

#

CAN'T HAVE THAT

grave basin
#

Now two specs are haste taxed

potent pivot
#

IN MY BRAINLESS GAME

#

also

#

they removed almost all evis modifiers

#

strike will have more modifiers than evis

#

in this current iterations

grave basin
#

Doesn't it depends on crit now

potent pivot
jaunty mirage
grave basin
#

So youre taxed on two stats

abstract stratus
#

seems like everyone is looking at flatter damage profiles for better and for worse

potent pivot
#

ye well

#

hp and dps numbers are going back to SL equivalents

abstract stratus
#

also needing haste on sub is gross

potent pivot
#

so a large portion of dps is going to be auto attacks and shit

jaunty mirage
#

Are they doing a stat squish?

potent pivot
#

yeah

jaunty mirage
#

Oh good

#

Having a bazillion hp and shit just always seemed silly

#

Wait why would sub need haste

abstract stratus
#

cdr isnt attached to combo points anymore

jaunty mirage
#

Ahahaha

abstract stratus
potent pivot
#

we'll just run a haste/mast mix like every other class in the game now

jaunty mirage
#

Yeah

potent pivot
#

we'll find the haste breakpoint to an okay CD and stop there

#

from what i've heard CDs are desyncing atm

#

so surely that gets fixed

jaunty mirage
#

I’m kinda waiting to freak out until we see more changes and whatnot

potent pivot
#

because any added haste you proc is also making CDs shorter

#

out of the many gripes i've got

jaunty mirage
#

The only real concern is that reducing effectiveness of cc hurts the skill classes and makes the game better for your dks/wars/ret etc.

potent pivot
#

one of the biggest is that they're basically taking subterfuge out back for every spec

vocal surge
#

Time for Hunters and Warriors to DR everyone

potent pivot
#

but subt is still a capstone in the class tree atm for some odd reason

jaunty mirage
#

Classes who just sort of spam damage will hugely benefit from less spammable cc

abstract stratus
#

subt should just be baseline at this point with how the class is played

potent pivot
#

agree

jaunty mirage
#

Yeah

abstract stratus
#

just make it a flat 5 seconds for all specs and call it a day no reason not too honestly

wet crown
jaunty mirage
#

I was doing shuffle last night and the first two rounds I was with a ret paladin who would say “I am god” after each win, I ended up going 5-1 but one of the healers whispered me after the game saying he threw the final one on purpose cause that paladin was pissing him off lmao

potent pivot
#

apparently addons are still going to be usable as well

#

like they said, they aren't completely removing them

jaunty mirage
#

I was surprised how easily the ret died the last round until the healer messaged me ahahaha

potent pivot
#

just addons that utilize the combatlog

#

someone will just make an addon thats the same as omnibar

#

but when you see the ability, you have to click that they used it yourself

wet crown
#

do damage, determine who gets to get rating

jaunty mirage
#

This was 2300

wet crown
#

that's upsetting

jaunty mirage
#

The ret bubbled my fake go all 4 rounds I went against him

#

I’d just start the game with a kidney in him cause it got bubble out of the way

#

Just nothing going on but throw a kidney on him and he’d bubble lmao

#

I’m telling you ever ret is playing like 500 rating above their normal

#

I’ve seen rets press both bubble and trinket to get out of bomb at this rating

wet crown
#

Even hunters if they're bad are like, way easier to exploit

jaunty mirage
#

Yeah that’s really the diff with ret

#

Other specs when they are busted can still be punished if they are stupid

vocal surge
#

Ret? Nopr

jaunty mirage
#

Ret will kill you through sheer damage before they run out of defensive cds

wet crown
radiant glen
#

atleast cdr made us interact

potent pivot
#

yeah that was my first thought lmao

#

'what are you going to do outside of dance..afk?'

#

but with the stat squish the outside of dance dmg will probably be decent

#

they removed a lot of burst

#

so if damage outside of dance isn't good we've got bigger problems lmao

potent pivot
#

its hasted

wet crown
#

but the finisher cdr is gone
