I mean they're keeping the vanish talents in class tree
i'm just gonna play outlaw and aff all expansion
Even when they're deliberately removing stealth reliance
dw dw dw we will do dmg outside dance and we will do the same dmg inside dance and then its gonna be the sickest budget warrior u will ever see
im so glad the game is getting pruned it was almost a bit more complex than mashing ur face on the keyboard
all they needed to prune was modifiers imo
not actual abilities and shit for the most part
like
we still have even bigger hero trees and apex talents coming
i think they pruned the opposite of what they should have
ngl i think rogue having cheapshot during dance was a bit hard for new players to learn and understand, so now they will have to count teh amount of cheapshots and guess the haste level of the rogue without addons :D

it was also very unintuitive to have a new player see a 7 second blind and be unsure if they should trinket it, so now they can guess if they wanna trinket the axe toss, half stormbolt, coil, or quarter fear
healers trading cds also a bit complex so we're removing half of them and just making flash heal do 300% more
ok imma stop dooming and imma start looking at the league of legends meta
inshallah ring of titans or w/e blows up idk
we thought not enough people played healer because its fundamentally the least fun role so we made all healers do 300% damage and tied all of their damage to healing so more people play healers HAVE FUN
inb4 all healers play like voidweaver
DH gonna still be omega s tier lol
Can’t wait changes sound minimal and good
Blur more powered up had to read that one three times
Gonna be sad since it seems like solo pvp is just gonna feel horrible on a rogue now lol
hopefully I'm just wrong but man
it already does
DH gonna annihilate all even faster
true
this shit ain't helping
can sin still spam garrote silences
or is that gone too
real
Like, I legitimately put every single minute of my free disposable time into getting better and improving and I haven't seen any improvement in months
and my time is so limited I feel like at this point its actually just that Im fucking stupid
Think I’m doing a belf DH for remix
Things gonna zoom thru all the dungeons. Tank for fast ques lol
i feel the same i zoomed up to 2380 the first like 2 weeks of the expac and then have had que anxiety ever since after i had 2 bad nights in a row lol just waiting for inflation to kick in harder before i que more shuffle on the main
I’m so excited for the new spec
That's like nothing. It's really not
they finally tuned down their mobility?
Like you're trying to be where I am and I get it
But I've now been hard stuck like 6 months and it's getting to the point that I am legitimately clinically, mood and life affected depressed
At not being able to learn
It's not even losing, it's the fact that losing means I'm not figuring things out
I hit 2300 before and I'm struggling at 1900
record some games
Anyway I don't want to aids chat here, the game needs less dps
It won't matter
I have before, I don't want to aids chat with depression again
Like it's done
Dk might be insane
Rip got trolled out of my 6-0 thought I was gonna be done with Hunter.
wtf is shifty p
Shifting power
I straight up never understood why they kept that from Shadowlands
It wasn't a fun mage ability it was just good
It was also a boring skill
That's kinda subjective no
I run it on my mage cause I feel I have to, not cause I enjoy it
Was fun for me
I mean its literally just stand still wait a bit for your CDs to be refreshed
Ill take 1000 hunt variations over Shifting Power
Or Mindgames
Or Divine Bell
Yea and if you get kicked or used it before you got off the spells you needed
Or Destro Bolt or Kyrian Spear...
You're not as good as someone who used it correctly
I never really had problems getting it off
It felt like Leylines 2.0
A mandatory power that just makes you stronger but doesn't actually do anything flashy or cool
Yeah but The Hunt
Not mechanically
When I mean do something flashy I am talking like how the new DH spec has the bomb
Or how Ele in SL could send wave after wave of meatballs
I'd rather have duel even as a mage than that cause duel DOES look cool and feel cool to use
So is it just me or like
doesn't the change to DR inherently kinda make the nerf to cheap shot unnecessary
Like IDK when cheap shot was ever a problem in pve
and it's never looked weaker to me than midnight
you can't cheap an entire team now
which is just an insane change to comprehend but yeah
Like I want to believe our damage gets some much needed love because of it
But I've also played long enough to not instantly buy that lol
even in aoe assa is going to be energy starved btw
I hyperfocused on outlaw, why would energy be real bad
outlaw is going to be way slower
Oh of course it is
assa is going to be way slower
Outlaw actually looks good
etc
Relative to most other specs
idk i don't like it
Big question is if has any staying power at all in a pvp setting
Its a matter of PvP talents
basically all 3 specs are going to be 'just do damage idiot'
gutting cheap and leaving iron wire is also kinda crazy
losing the aoe silence garrote spam will be sad
But we can still do it on st
and that's funny to do
just perma cc the healer, nothing they can do if they aren't a druid
you can spread garrote with CT
just not sure if that also spreads the silence until tested
I'm ASSUMING not
It'd be OP if it included the silence
imagine Garrote --> Fok --> Crimson Tempest --> FoK x2 --> Crimson Tempest
and you'd reapply that silence twice

it's the garrote actually making contact with the target that's the silence
i mean as opposed to now
we can already aoe triple silence a shit load right now
i don't think it'll work that way though
Like
I just want to be able to have mini burst windows again between cds
Feel like I'm fucking afk without deathmark
Meanwhile crusader billy smashes his keyboard and has a wake of ashes go every 30 seconds
and perma Slice and Dice
They gave paladins perma Slice and Dice xD
bro my mage can't ice block twice a minute, why can these assholes do that, and attack during it
and have actual defensive cds
that can't be interrupted
it just wouldn't work after dropping stealth/subt
while also being able to give other players defensives
like
It doesn't make sense though.
how not
I don't think the mere act of applying the garrote is the trigger to begin with
I think spreading the bleed is all crimson tempest would do, the silence needing you to actually use the garrote spell on said target
IC spreads it just fine rn
I HOPE you're right but I don't think you are. Because that sounds way better for M+
IC makes garrote cleave
its different
it's still garrote
its still worse for m+ than IC
and i feel like there's no shot they don't give pve players a way to spread silence
on packs
Wouldn't surprise me at all tbh
its not moot in the fact that like
completely removing something that is that important
compared to giving a watered down version of said thing
lots of negative feedback will make them change at this stage.
like now you have to waste a global just to spread to 2 targets
instead of it happening automatically
and you also have way less of a window to do so
I really hope that micro cc gets looked at
It’s one of the biggest issues with the game the last few expacs imo
Makes it so like melee HAVE to have a ton of gap closers
If you remove a bunch of micro cc then you can also remove SOME gap closers and make casters have to cast again
I mean
I play a warlock and a mage too, so it's like
IMO melee mobility is way more of an issue than caster mobility/casting r/n in pvp
Something like a warrior you legit cannot out maneuver no matter how hard you outplay, unless you're a mage with shimmer

I mean yeah I’m just saying it’s all connected
Like it's not really an issue for rogue sadly
but it's absurd
warrior, dh, a ret pally, a fucking dk or a monk are on you as like a priest or lock without peels, what do you even do
well again
I did specify mage
is like the only one that's just as bullshit
but they also kinda have to be so lol
It’s just sort of been an arms race between mobility and casting
It's either that or we give them deep freeze back
The amount of roots, movement and knock is insane to me
Yeah
Personally I'd love having deep freeze again on mage
instead of just running away from 80 gap closers
that's like my #1 issue with mage pvp, there's a lot of situations you can't punish that most other classes can.
They have always had a hard time figuring out how to make casting good in pvp without making it toxic
Also since stacking ua is back
we are absolutely going to see healers just randomly explode
Destro is basically the sub rogue of casters, blizzard doesn’t know what else to do with them so either they can kill you in 3 bolts, or they straight up suck
It’s been easier for them to just give casters more instants then try to figure out how to balance it
sub has a very small window
I’m saying in the sense that they have only ever been able to balance them one way
Ah, right
Sub can either kill you in a cheap and everyone complains, or it’s just not threatening
I feel like destro is usually fine balance wise, in that if you let a hardcast chaos bolt hit you uncontested you probably deserve to eat that hit usually.
But that’s the design they backed themselves into a corner with
I think the worst part with sub is that the changes don't really seem to positively address the specs issues at all.
Destro they went all in on chaos bolt which results in being stuck in a very similar corner
Like before legion, if you damaged someoen without shadow dance
You probably wouldn't kill them but you'd be a threat
and if you get trinket before dance gg
ther subterfuge openers were fun
Cant do that, cult gets pissed
which cult in this context
Just hiveminds of dance bs
dude sub used to be my favorite spec in the entire game and now it's just like, I kinda hate it lol
Yeah , slowly changing. Happy to see some pre legion influence
I genuinely don't see how afking while waiting for shadow blades, mashing shadow strike and then being a cc bot for aminute is fun
I still can't believe they just said no more vanish outlaw
It's cool that they get to omit vanish though
At least crackshot kinda lives on
Make themselves unique
Everyone else gets fucked
These haste changes for sub feel like theres gonna be a single breakpoint you need and thats it, doesnt feel like the stat matters to us yet
I'm not convinced it'll even feel better to play
Because you gonna lineup with symbols, so whats the point
Just bake them together at this point, theyre talking about removing bloat skills but we still have dance and symbol that are used at the same time buy cant be macroed
My #1 want
Is for outlaw to have sustain in pvp brawls
Like if you see a dk, warrior or paladin, you have a fighting chance slugging it out
Making symbols only buff finishers means u want to dance->builder->symbol->finisher
So 🤷♂️
Tried to read if retri gets adressed at all but all their skills have the same name
Holy this, avenging that
They did that shit with sanguinary vein fuck that
Its how we ended up in the clown carnival that even the pve kids gripe about now . This is them moving the needle a little bit but not full swing and is healthy
Dunno prob a “fixed” dance like the old days + small haste boost. Its a 45s cd which i remember talking in that chat when realz was in there back in alpha and beta talks.
We still have more talents in ds and trickster and apex. People need to calm tf down
No WAs in pvp
They said in end game so i assume so
Blizzards tracker tracks all sorts of stuff buy I wonder if they'll track the opponents stuff as well
Did you see that all the CDs are hasted
Yep
Tuning and sshit etc
It just comes off as disconnected
I read it all, have to work it out and such
I want it to be good so bad
I'll take haste mast over mast vers
Devs likely got tired of dealing with the bs
Skullsplitter removed from arms, goated decision
I hate pvp gearing with vers so much
Remove versa, bring back multistrike
Haste vers sub with no mastery would feel shitty
I hate existing only in cds and hyperfixating on one thing of the kit every damn expansion since legion
They specifically said that will never come back
Good
It was such a weird test, but ngl it fit the rogue theme well
Was a disaster to balance
Classes kinda have that via added effects anyway pending how they talent
Lol
Like we are essentially forced to choose between more burst and our burst actually being scary due to half our stats always being devoted to vers
Avoiding windfury memes
I think rogue had one interaction with it iirc?
Sub had the bleed accelerant
Oh yea
I was combat enjoyer in mop
Kinda nudging in pre legion direction and that is healthy
Bandits guile went brrrrr
How do we think outlaw will be now
Wasn't even op, just 100% skill expression
Yeah i didnt get to stick in mop long. Had a lot of bad shit happen in life. Cata was great too.
Only change i truly dislike is removing new tmog from upgrading gear
Dadgamers lose mythic tmogs
New cold blooded killer cbk is cool too
Cata pvp was great till everyone got legendaries and broke the game lol
Yeah they need to cut that shit out
Then in dragonspul you had gurth and the rogue legendary making it so much worse
I saw searing glare is on a choice node with blinding light for the pink kids. Hopefully that classifies as a disorient
Instead of this bs it currently is
I rarely think a change like that is good, but that's a good one
How did supercharger change for Outlaw and Assass? I see for us Subtlety they put it in dance
So 1 supercharger per adr? Or were notes dropped?
Not sure, I get alpha tomorrow though so
Cbk like old talents in old bc trees? Cant remember the talent
Cbk is new pretty sure
Was a finisher buff or some shit
Yeah i know that but there was an old talents back in the day where you killed something and got a buff
Oh uh
Was early in assassination tree iirc
Classic we had it but it was like a crit buff for ambush or ss
Cbk not doing that prevents mfd cheese
Bc that is part of the reason that shit went away
I just miss when ambush was a fucking ambush
And not hehe generator no do dmg hehe
It was a god damn satisfying crunch
Cp management and different openers
I dig what were are slowly rolling to though. Finisher kids still get their stuff too
I just dont believe at all that any reasonable ability should be shit
Way back in the day we all had it yeah
It was under sub I think lol
Old sanguinary vein days for sure
Was an interaction with serrated blades too etc. yeah
Wait does Cloak not work on Kingsbane?
Any1 watching alpha content ?
Here are my raw unfiltered thoughts about the Fire Mage Redesign after looking at it for around an hour. It's a silly video but hopefully this gets the point across.
I am very thankful that I am fortunate enough to be able to get a first look at the new World of Warcraft Midnight expansion. This is not hate, and I will keep an open mind while ...
Fire mage had
more complexity
In tbc
I hear a ton of classes are getting toned down
which i support to some extent. but i hope they don't make it so simple that it becomes trivial
Mages got absolutely butt blasted with pruning
And priests
Ayeee i have a fan
Yeah, im concerned they'll go too far
Tell him you're teemu ivanrah
Some classes really do need to be pruned though
Like Shaman
Way too much button bloat
Yea agree rsham has a billion buttons
Every shaman spec does
So theres 2 big concerns I have with this path theyre going down.
- Making it too simple. For obvious reasons going too far in that direction is not good for the game
But 2. One issue I have with the game even now is how many things a single button does. And im afraid if they reduce the button bloat too much they'll just compound that problem where a single button does like 15 things and I dont like that.
In vanilla and TBC you pressed one button and it swung your axe. Thats all it did. Now that same button swings your axe, applies a healing reduction, gives you a proc, buffs another ability, and turns off your enemy's PC. I dont like that either
Bro wtf is that
That’s way too far
I mean shifting power
Oh
No active cdr
Either way that’s just too much
They pruned that from every mage spec
Like at least leave phoenix flames
Yea that's insanely bare bones
I mean i get wanting to dumb it down a bit to minimize the barrier to entry and attract new players but new players won't want to play if its boringly simplistic either
And neither will the current players
I think we have a similar outlook
I feel like they alrdy had the right philosophy with choice nodes
I think that the backend passive shit is too loaded
Let people opt into complexity
Like bloodtalons Vs lions strength
That's the literal perfect solution
And instead of cutting all that passive shit they’re pruning even more active abilities
Why isn't that just across the board
Which is not what anyone wanted
Like I can understand the really bloated classes like shaman getting more buttons pruned
That’s obv
But most classes were close to a good amount of buttons
Shamans and druids stuck out as bloated to me
Maybe mage had 1 or 2 buttons that could be cut
But this is cutting like 5? More?
Yeah, i can see cutting a bit of button bloat but it looks like its getting dumbed down to the point of making it a different game like all these other MMOs like GW2 where everyone plays everything the same because an ape could do it so it doesnt even matter
Like I dont want to only have 4 or 5 buttons lol
Something that makes this game more fun is having options with what to do
In a match
Did sub even lose any buttons
I have no idea. But from what I've been hearing, every spec lost some stuff
I don’t think sub lost any buttons
Idr if outlaw lost any, maybe one
Assa basically lost shiv as a rotational ability
I think that’s it
And CT
It’s just bootleg IC now
Did you watch the preheat video?
Up to the start of the fire part
He says he thinks theyre trying to get the specs to a place they can "build up from"
So maybe theyre stripping everything down to the most basic functions
Then adding stuff back until they think its adequate
I thought he meant like start as in midnight and the buildup is over later expansions
Because I watched it all and even Preheat is like "yeah all of XYZ is gone you just do this now"
He may have
Idk
But what youre saying also makes sense
This
Is correct
Well like come on theres no way they're just gunna leave it like it is in that video
They cant
We'd all get bored
There's no way theyre delusional enough to think thats what will boost their player base
Fdk is basically 3 buttons too
I mean were super early in alpha though, fingers crossed they figure it out
obviously its alpha and some things will change, but i don't see them stepping away from this overall design philosophy
not unless it bites them in the ass after release or something as usual
I just feel like theres an obvious middle ground
the game has only gotten smaller and smaller over the years
so they're trying to get new players in any way they can
I heard a theory that they want to release on console eventually or sort of, figure it out for a theoretical wow2
the changes kind of make sense from that lens
Flagellation, but i think thats it
ye tru, knew i was forgetting something
They just need to remove a lot of the passive stuff, then cut out a few buttons here and there from each class, and maybe redesign some specs because of that like they do from time to time anyway
What they need to do is remove the subscription paywall
No kids cba paying monthly for a game JUST to play it
yup
Its $15/month
Thats nothing
I cant imagine that stopping anyone who wants to play it from playing it
anyone who wants to play yeah
but anyone new trying it out?
i'd say that's a pretty big hurdle
Try it for a month and of you dont like it unsub? And youre only out $15
Idk
I just dont think thats it
Also games that are pay to play are much less likely to be pay to win
look at how popular free games are
agree
but then again what do i know, im no marketing expert nor a game developer, maybe i just enjoy my 400apm ADD outlaw and dont want it changed :>
The game used to be WAY more popular and the subscription fee was pretty much the same i think.
They just need to make the game good
yeah but back then it was the only game of its kind really
this was b4 though, like it's apretty old game. there was nothing else
nowadays there's so many other options
For MMO RPGs?
yes
Final Fantasy
All i can think of is FF and GW2
yeah but it was very different
I havent played it in years, like maybe 2017
its been kinda blowing up lately
lot of wow players coming over to it
but ye the other mmo's are kind of a drop in the bucket compared to other general games
league, fps games, etc
Sure but ultimately people play them because theyre good games. The problem with WoW is the gameplay just isnt that great anymore
Honestly im glad their mobility is getting fucked
i think the gameplay is fine
the seasonal game concept is just dead to me
They kind of have to nerf ranged mobility if theyre nerfing CC
yea but mages have nothing now
They're gonna be tanks again like with triune
Is that really better ?
Honestly yes
Because if I cant kill the mage at least he cant root me all game to keep me from killing someone else
Im not really sure how they could dispense of that
I take it you're not too optimistic about them increasing the player base
pretty much
Ngl if this game ever truly dies it'll take part of me with it. Im 31 years old and ive been playing this game since I was 13.
the main thing all the big wow guys coming over to osrs have been saying
is that they love how the progression is never gone
like with wow's seasonal model, its just endless seasons and you start over from zero every season
at the end of the day its just a hamster wheel of a game idk
pvping is fun, even pvm can be fun
The progression ends when you finish every quest and get every skill to 99 doesnt it?
but the amount of unnecessary shit that comes along with both of them just kills it imo
not exactly
it is basically impossible to "completionist" osrs in 1 lifetime
I remember when I played RS, leveling was a grind
getting all the quests done merely puts you in the mid game
leveling is a grind ye, but you can basically afk most skills
I mean combat level
the fun parts of the game are pvm/pvp
Its 120 right?
you can grind that in a few weeks really
with enough gp
but maxing combat isn't that important
I dont remember if my old account was OSRS or RS2...
its not like wow where you need to hit max lvl to start doing content
if you played it in 2017 it might be osrs
do you remember the name?
i can check it
My character name?
yeah
Thundermax6
Hell yeah bro
Best thing about GW2 is that almost none of the content becomes irrelevant and the progression is horizontal
The pvp is terrible though
I used to play a Thief
the name may have been flagged inactive
so if you can get into the acc it'll prompt you to rename or something i think
It was the same account I made when I started playing runescape back in 2002
Does that narrow it down?
sounds like it would be an rs3 acc, not osrs
Dammit
but i checked both versions of the game
so it likely got put as inactive or something
can happen after years of not logging in
And i cant get my old character on OSRS if it was on RS3 can i
if you leveled it on rs2/rs3, those skills are stuck on rs3
Yep
if you never played it on osrs, yeah
Fuck bro I dont want to have to do Monkey Madness again
The dragon at the end of the quest destroyed my cannon
I was so mad
Yeah maybe things were harder back then because I was just a little kid
for sure
there's quests that are way harder than the old ones now
they're still easy, just so much different than the old shit
Do they do patches and updates to it? I imagine not much in order to preserve the "old school" part
every week
they've added like
How much is the sub?
Do you remember Woox? That guy was a fucking hero to me
yes lol
mems is 14 now damn
i usually just pay for it with gold
What server should I make my account on
I remember being hyped about wc70 as a kid, when i played osrs as adult i blasted fishing to 99 for shits and giggles
Almost
You think they'd have updated the graphics by now
there is, but most people prefer to keep it OG
sec
also
your acc is prolly fine
it just doesn't show on the high scores list from being inactive
kinda true yeah
hi friends
sup
just getting back into wow and pvp and stuff. icy veins hints towards deathstalker but murlok and other spots suggest fatebound for arenaas.. opnions?
Fatebound
is that due to the slight survivabilbi8lbity increase or does it actually have a higher output?
Deathstalker is fine you can play it if you like it. I play it into some things but if you want a build to lock in then go fatebound
It does less overall damage but it gives you a big bursty go every 45-60 seconds to actually kill somebody with
with a focus on cold blood ?
you just macro it
Macro it to kingsbane
is there a sticky for macros? i havent used them much historically
#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Thistle Tea
/cast Cold Blood
/use 14
/cast Kingsbane
Change 14 to 13 if you want badge in slot 13 (the top trinket slot) instead of slot 14
But make sure you still have thistle tea on its own keybind
i shall give this a try then. i had tried the rotty deathstalker .. but it seems to not be effect4ive in solo. perhaps coordinating a rot comp with a ret paladin and a mage who probably dont like me might be ineffective. perhaps " go on the shammy" will be less offensive to them?
I have better luck not pressing them in opener. With all the discs, rets, and pres I’ve found scaring them deathmark first to bait works good
I love death stalker but it really is a gamble
Just saw that my sv lost scatter shot/bursting shot/explosive trap/tar trap root????/ ros
I'm at a loss lol
How tf do you kite now?
You also have no reliable way to peel now
Absolute piss changes
what buttons does sv even have left 
Lowkey kinda hate that the class doesn’t even play close range anymore
Not a fan of the whole range only playstyle it has rn
WAIT NO CORD ASSAULT???
It's renamed
Basically combined with flanking
Cause delve Davids can't press more than 3 buttons ig
Bomb raptor strike KC and 1 aoe/st cd
Sv iPad edition
i hope they do more dev interviews to explain as i don't really see what they're going for rn
assa changes so good so far
sub doomed
outlaw not sure since never played that except for mage tower appearance

just pressed what is glowing and brute force it somehow
I find it hard to come to this conclusion ngl
not going to drop mark anymore and lose a lot of damage, this is good enough already
Yeah I mean that’s one of the few positives I guess
I’m glad we’re moving back into a ST/envenom based spec
But
They’re kinda gutting a lot of shit
they removing a lot from other classes as well
Ik
hard to tell how it going to be for now
still i'm positive, that they start to change stuff since rogue now least played class
esp outlaw
2300 glad? Crazy
You’re a stud
diehard outlaw onetrick
Inspiring brother

This is huge. Im not sure i understand. Without CC then arent we just squshier warriors with a worse MS?
Isn’t everyone losing like all their cc?
No lmfao
And even if they were
So what
Its a bigger part of our kit than others
So if everyone loses a lot of CC
We get hit harder
Warriors CC because they want to
We do it because we have to
What happened in the next lobby???
that was the last one!
had a pretty good run up from 2k though
Let the man breathe 😭
You gotta be at least rank 5/23 outlaws for sure
oh yeah for sure
Hes rank 6 EU
Insane
5 if you remove whaazs alt.
but then again, there's like 23 of us in total like rune said
i'll wait for you

Any basic tips? Im ready to get hurt again and push my outlaw
Lol that 2399 mustve pissed you off. I hate when shit like that happens
i got stressed out ngl! lobby after that was double ret, BM, double disc..
managed to sneak a 4-2
I mean thats every lobby though
controll the game, cc healer alot, watch the dr's. rely on your teammate to do most of the damage. that's it basically
yeah i suppose so
Control the spice, control the universe
I think they have 2 blink stuns now 😂
I don't know how you hit 2.4k
I lost so much lat night I'm genuinely considering getting my account perma banned I'm so done
Stay till Midnight with us
I really don't know if I can man
I cannot handle not improving it's just draining my mental
Play other games
I'm playing a little diablo
It's just not about the game only isnall
It's about self improvement
Rating is and the game is really just an allegory or some shit for being able to adapt.
And I'm failing and that fucks me up
It's like showing that you're older and unable to grow
D1?
Nah 2 and 4
If you had a single player mode, and Diablo 4 on switch or steam deck it would be amazing
honestly i think i got lucky with queues, and i took my time, if i felt like i was getting tilted or annoyed i stopped queueing, picked it up later instead.
It's just got a lot of content
My issue with Diablo 4 is that the gameplay was clunky
That's something I really need to adapt but unfortunately because I'm time constrained so bad that means I just can't queue for a whole day. I only can play 2 hours
Oh yeah the initial grind for Diablo when you had to unlock all the renowning s*** was awful
neither can i, today wass the only day i've ssent more than 2 queues
like honestly
All I appreciate knowing someone out there can do it. Last night I went three and 15 over three lobbies, two of them were full caster cleaves and one was a full melee leave and it's just like I can't win anything
yeah those are gambles for sure
triple caster = 1-5 or 0-6
melee cleave is the same
best bet is caster/melee lobby
That was almost my best lobby
I should have had a 33 in the caster lobby. I legitimately fat fingered my death from above and I animation locked myself against an elemental shaman with 1% HP and he killed me instead
ouch
I almost broke my screen
i would've too
Same
I guess we all like to suffer
it's taken me almost a month to climb 300 rating. so i didn't spam queue by any means
I get it.
and my mmr has been so high so even if i went 2-4 i gained rating
I've been sitting at like 2k all season and in the lase seasons past I just always have been lazy and I wait for inflation, but I am really wanting to get better, so it's just been piddling at 2k
had a game where i went 1-2 because of a leaver, even that gained me rating. so i've been lucky
Imma wait until Conq uncap before I continue queuing for SS
Like Outlaw sucks, but it's nowhere as bad as the last season
rn geared to have fun in non-rated PvP environments
ie Slapping people with Main Gauche procs
last season was horrible
last season i did what you described, sat and waited for inflation, pushed 2k4 like the last couple of weeks
iirc
Yeah, and that's why I'm so disappointed because last season was horrific and I still managed 2,300 and I talked out at 19 on the ladder, so I shouldn't be struggling this bad you know
I didn't keep that rating but I accomplished it
what i've noticed now comprared to last season is that, this season i dont have to focuss on doing damage as much
since everything else is so good, i mainly just need to focus on controlling the enemy team
where as last season i had to do damage aswell
like i'm literally last on the dmg meters in every round
and my assa rogue still goes Destro lock
I am too
lmao
despite the smoke bombs
I'm going to try streaming so I can record the game
Wait how long does twitch keep a VOD now if you're nobody
no idea, there's a good 3rd party option though that saves vod on your harddrive
warcraft recorder
Yeah, I've used Nvidia recorder, it's just the file size is so bloated I don't want to save that on my desktop
yeah aight
I've watched my own thoughts before, I know I'm terrible. And I've had sandor who is one of the 2400 outlaws in a multi-glide watch my vods to
never heard of, what's that?
Record/Edit/Share vod site
Talking Sandorroguex?
the only way to get better is to play it out tbh, keep your cool and keep playing. regular breaks, so on and so forth, you know this already but still
i'm in the same situation, i'm under no illusion i'm actually any good vs a Good/Great rogue. but i'll hold my own for sure
Yeah
😅
I'm not going to lie he might have been uhhh
Playing with a less than substantial player
The last game, me and my partner were screaming
But yeah he's really good
I think playing a balance of m+ raid and arena / blitz is crucial personally
I need to ultimately redo some binds too but I have been lazy
Alt binds are no good they flub stuff open a lot
I'll hit a macro bind that's like alt+g as I click another button and it'll incidentally open the travel log once in a while
Btw, im down to add him in my friend's list
He was fun to fight in the arena lol
I'm not super close but if the opportunity for sure. He plays absolute degenerate hours
Ye
Like he wakes up at 11pm
I hit 2k4 back in s4 BFA for the first time ever, started to enjoy pvp alot more in s1 BFA, but didn't really try for 2k4 untill s4. (yes corruptions). i made a pvp video of it just to test what video editing was about really, i'm watching it back now. it's hella cringe because i was the biggest noob, but it's also really fun because i get the dumbest grin from watching it
midnight
You love to see it
Self promo
I didn't even know what the abilities of the paladin at the last game was called
nah
well
yeah
but not with that intention
just wanted to send slitelohel some love to since he's feeling like he's struggling with outlaw, look where we started man. here we are
rogue love
Aye
Shuffle is such a brutal way to measure your progress man. Too many variables
It’s so easy to go from winning a lobby to losing if a team mate doesn’t press
mfw I die to BM pets auto attacking
and the hunter acting like he's playing on Windows XP using arrow keys for movement
barely does his rotation
I get it man. I'm just old in a boomer. I did the original high warlord grind two decades ago, I was pushing glad the very first seasons of this game but I don't have any titles
I just want to get good enough and maybe send one single season
It's just a process.
Tbf hunter pet melee a huge overall for them lol
Pet melee does a ton of their dmg its kinda crazy. Wish outlaw brought back the melee damage meta like that lol
Aye
I just brute force coins on this warrior
and overpowered the HPS output of a MW monk
War was prob fuming lol
Sadly it was a 2v3 lol
What a goat
Fenryr one shots
Time that tier get two beasts out and push a fenryr and shit pops off
So stupid lol
I mean the bear averages like 1.5mil a hit
All of it’s crazy. Midnight changes seem even better for BM too
No more stacking barbed buffs it just auto there frenzy
BM gonna be op for the season 1 of midnight too calling it now. Stampede staying too
I've been listening to the same song for the past like
2 days
Today being the 3rd day on repeat
non stop
~500 times on repeat now
Arknights OST - Battleplan Extinguished Sins BGM
https://music.apple.com/us/album/particles-slowed/1710748360?i=1710748363
you’ll get stuck on this one next
Sub not ded
This is completely dependent upon subs baseline damage actually being good
Having no modifiers is cool, if vanilla eviscerate still does 5% player health in damage then you might as well throw the spec in the grinder
Nah
the cheap shot cd will have biggest effect in bgs also
Forcing sub to gear haste is the biggest question mark ever
We literally just went through this
@potent pivot have you seen any rogue content creators
with alpha content
so far i havent seen any to go through with gameplay changes
Maybe Kalvish has it? Or Whazz? Some of the only rogues streaming lol
nope and whaaz is playing ret
lol
Potential A / Potential B Outlaw HO Path (non Kir Build)
Both 28/30 points Circled being potential picks for last 2 points, (assuming we have 30 only into next xpac)
PVP, Hot take atm
@spring bough @stoic spruce @dark kernel @vocal surge
Damn you putting in the work lol
Popo can’t speak to us until 7am tomorrow 😭
bro really out here theorycrafting in alpha builds
Hell me and Verm did it last xpack lol
trying to cope 😭
also 7pm EU time whaaz said theyre giving out alpha invites @spring bough
We were on beta trying some crazy shit
so hopefully he gets one
I was thinking of running a Sinister Strike build
Sinister gonna be going brrrrrrrtttttt
Same with pistol and FTH
nah fam UH dk goes hard
Till they get nuked by the new outlaws
lemme build what I want rq
Damn man you work fast
Potential C
legit trying to cope, gonna miss current outlaw
I feel it. I actually like the current play style to a degree even with all it's frustrations
I think the pseudo sub rogue outlaw is fun
If we just had more damage
CB over vigor?
Ye
Big balls of steel thinking energy isn’t gonna be starved with only 100 lol
It kinda sucks now without it playing KIR in PvP when buffs aren’t right. But hoping with all these new modifiers it is a lot better
Ye
Tbh
Could drop 3 points from vanish and subterfuge
Don’t really need those much anymore except as a life saver
And then have leeching and vigor
And have the best of everything to stand and bang
Would probably still pickup blackjack over cripple poison one too
Ehhh idk tho aoe blind seems meh
Aoe blind is standard now
Ye
-80% CD and -80% Duration
Only other thought… feint without CDR… is elusive > cheat death or will cheat death make a comeback
Less uptime on feint but I guess it’ll still be good
and mitigating damage proactively is more important
than surviving a chain stun with no mitigation
Btw
AOE Blind w. Airborne Irritant is a 24s ability

but we pick gauge anyway
Outlaw was lacking in the AOE CC department
so whatever
In pvp it’s like 3 seconds lol
Maybe airborne with blackjack will be a thing idk
Haven’t played gouge this entire xpack
I think all CC is on the 2 limit, 16 second timer
Spelling or new ability lolol
this might actually be good, if its anything liek the augmentation evokers time rewind
should be able to get adr back up after 2-3 globals -5 -10 secs
a 2nd Adr charge would have been better tho
blinding bm pets? 
That best be omega nerfed for PvP
I can’t imagine losing solo to a warrior that has that active
Would be a rage fest
sounds like Tryndamere undying rage on lol😂
8 seconds of a warrior just going completely ape shit and u can’t kill it
5/10 he probably gonna end u or ur teammate lol
They gonna get smart and save CDs for that and just dump dmg and take none
Tryndamere + that tower smashing dude who revives post mortem in an enraged mode
ME WARRIOR ME ANGRY
I was looking at this. I think dead ass this isn't something we push for, but something to help us when we get stuck in roots
