They can afford to and still be at that rating as ret

#

Other classes can't

#

Yeah the last time I played my WW monk was DF S4 but I just 1 shot my way to 2.4 like it was nothing

#

Thats the only non rogue spec ive ever played to 2.4

gleaming sentinel
#

Nice

wanton breach

jaunty mirage
#

Some lobbies after the first couple round I can already tell my goal is to just break even

#

Double paladin hunter lobbies and shit

outer sky
#

There are lobbies and i load in, see the comp, and immediately think "ok just gotta get out of this without losing rating"

jaunty mirage
#

Lmao fr

#

You’re just like oh god get me out of here

outer sky
#

The warlock i queue with got rank 1 in season 1 and he had a lobby with 3 shamans in it

#

He said it was the worst lobby he's ever played

#

3 windshears

#

3 grounding totems

jaunty mirage
#

Even just one decent shaman is a nightmare for destro

outer sky
#

Yeah

outer sky
jaunty mirage
#

Lmao

grave basin
#

that kinda why i stopped playing my ww this season

outer sky
grave basin
#

every spec has bad lobbies but some specs has like 60-70% chance of getting pure horse shit

outer sky
#

It feels awful

grave basin
#

like imagine dev + 2 paladins + hunter

#

wtf do you even do

outer sky
#

Or frost mage

grave basin
#

youre just taking the cock

outer sky
#

Yeah people dont know how bad it really is for WW

#

It has a reputation for being extremely mobile

#

Its really not

#

Its mobility is very much geared towards running away from things

#

Not connecting and sticking

grave basin
#

ww without turbo omega nucleur burst is just useless

#

i hate this brawler version

#

also

#

pog

outer sky
#

Nice!

outer sky
grave basin
#

well good news

#

slicing winds is now directly baked into conduit for next expac

#

enjoy

outer sky
#

Yeah I read about that

grave basin
#

they removed the one talent everyone loved

#

the zappy zap

#

and kept slicing winds

#

incompetance knows no bounds

outer sky
#

But like just give us keefers back it feels horrible not having it

grave basin
#

everytime theres some "use utility for damage" button it always ends up like piss

#

idk why blizzard never learns

#

either vanish for damage, momentum dh or slicing winds

#

they actually already learned this with chi torpedo in WOD

#

but what can ya do

outer sky
#

I actually do genuinely wonder what their thought process is sometimes. They'll put changes through that the overwhelming majority of the player base is against

grave basin
#

i mean they got rid of wounds for unholy dk

outer sky
#

Like some shit is like how could they have ever thought that was a good idea

grave basin
#

which is good

#

then they put "wounds" on frost mage

wanton breach
#

my head is dizzy and i lost 100 rating cause mages and rets cant press their buttons 🙁

grave basin
#

so like ???????

jaunty mirage
#

Which is insane lmao

wanton breach
#

I applaud any healer who can stay below 2k rating

grave basin
wanton breach
jaunty mirage
#

Also I everyone decided spell warden was too good for uhdk the anti-wizard class so they removed it

wanton breach
#

who can stay sane* below 2k rating

jaunty mirage
#

Then they just randomly give it to ret paladins

grave basin
#

they SPECIFICALLY removed ret's ability to wipe off their own teammates dots with blinding light

#

like it was deliberate

#

cause pink class has to be special

#

meanwhile song of chi ji still wipes out dots

jaunty mirage
#

lol

grave basin
#

and im pretty sure incap wipes outs dots still

#

just training wheels upon training wheels

outer sky
#

When TWW was being developed and the hero talents were made available to preview, we saw that deathstalker mark for assa rogue was applied with ambush and literally every assa rogue i know and a shit ton on the forums all said "tie this to garrote instead of ambush it'll be way better" but they didnt change it and now in Midnight theyre changing it to be applied with garrote instead but my question is why did we have to wait for another expansion for that change to happen when everyone was asking for it since the beta of the current expansion????

grave basin
#

cause blizzard needs to give dev time to mages

wanton breach
spring bough
#

how does some1 die from my cape procing

#

when i dont even have them targeted

#

bleeds?

grave basin
#

your dots

spring bough
#

funny asf

outer sky
# spring bough funny asf

The best is when you die but later your sudden demise procs. So like youre dead but you killed someone

grave basin
#

monkaHmm

outer sky
#

They need to give that treatment to song of chi

#

Its so annoying

#

Big ass pink cloud just strolling through the map cleansing my damage off everyone

grave basin
#

i bet my ass they forgot that spell even existed

outer sky
#

Its the dumbest interaction ever

#

Like the glare makes it miss even after you've cast and spawned the cloud wtf

grave basin
#

you know whats even more bs

#

glare makes karma miss

#

lol

outer sky
grave basin
#

bad enough they can bop it off

tight hill
#

glare makes traps already on the ground miss lol

jaunty mirage
outer sky
#

The funniest shit with karma is how you need to be facing your target to use it. Ive killed so many monks by stunning them, then shadowstepping them so when they trinket i can restun them before they have time to turn around and karma me lmfao

jaunty mirage
#

I played a bit of classic and the main recurring theme from classic boomers is that retail wow basically went off the rails because they implemented all the QoL stuff players wanted etc.

#

When the reality is the biggest issue with retail for a long time has been that blizzard STOPPED listening to players

#

They decided a while ago that they know best and we are gonna play the game how they want us to play it

grave basin
outer sky
#

You'd think that they would prefer to grow the game and rake in more money from more players as opposed to flexing on us

grave basin
#

See you guys on ptr

3-3 all morning cause of stupid bullshit

Gonna headshot with my boomstick

That never works

outer sky
# grave basin Just don't get silenced bro

I got banned for a week. Not silenced. Banned. And had to play my wife's account recently because stupid people still dont know how to play Warsong Gulch even though its been in the game for 21 years.

grave basin
#

Blitz is truly the ban magnet

#

Every rogue here that's gotten banned has done it through blitz

#

Probably cause so many reports come in at once

#

Like your whole team mass reports you

#

And it's joever

outer sky
#

3k mmr and my team is 6v1-ing a warlock in the middle of the map while the EFC just prances by

grave basin
#

Yea I played a normal BG just now for the conquest on my main

#

And it was a katmongu

#

We're losing badly and this warlock is like we gotta get more points and shit

#

Meanwhile he's less than half of everyone's damage

#

So I called him out for doing healer damage on a Z axis map

#

And he's like I'm picking up the orbs bro

#

I check the score board and he picked up one orb whole game

#

I just can't with BGs

outer sky
#

I played a 10 man rbg last week and this was the result. Low rated but still. Its funny because the AI players in comp stomp still usually score more points than these people did against us

grave basin
#

I got my battlemaster/justicar

#

That's all the BGs for a lifetime

#

One wrong move and it's a mass report

outer sky
#

Clowned on these losers. 2620mmr and they didn't score 1 point on us

spring bough
#

15 seconds into the match

grave basin
#

He remembered his freedom bind

#

Atleast

outer sky
#

Love to see it

grave basin
#

One more of those and he might remember he can wall in stuns

#

Not enough training wheels for pink class

fathom crag
#

ive never got banned in like 14 years of playing wow

#

before i qd blitz

outer sky
pliant lintel

but ppl r so soft nowadays

it was in my chat logs 😄

I cant type what I said

grave basin
#

Blitz is where Buddhist monks go to test their resolve before they attain enlightenment

#

Can't imagine playing that as a main game mode

#

Like omnivores

spring bough
#

i just know that preso still so mad

pliant lintel
#

RBG players have always been the most toxic tho tbh

outer sky
outer sky
pliant lintel
#

they the type of people to mass report you on 50 accounts

#

by themselfs

spring bough
pliant lintel
#

LOL

outer sky
#

I think i get so fired up over blitz because I sit by far the longest queue times for it. Like the game i got banned from i sat over a 3 hour queue. And im fine with losing like thats just part of the game. But losing to completely troll, stupid bullshit after sitting a queue that long is infuriating

spring bough
#

almost lost 150 rating cause of it too

#

ngl blitz can be frustrating

pliant lintel
#

what makes me laugh is if you play a rogue in blitz when you lose it's always rogues fault

spring bough
#

people that do not play OBJECTIVES on OBJECTIVE games should get banned from blitz

spring bough
outer sky
pliant lintel
#

tbf you can carry as rogue

outer sky
#

Yeah to an extent

pliant lintel
#

some people too heavy tho

outer sky
#

Not when my team is 6v1 vs a warlock all game

pliant lintel
#

ye

#

kek

spring bough
#

my favorite is when i do something like go LH, there is a ret there, the enemy healer PEELS to LH and my team still loses WW

#

like how do u lose with a number and healer advantage

#

i dont understand

outer sky
#

Or like when I ping that my base is getting hit and nobody comes

#

And l lose it

#

And get flamed

#

But I got hit by boomie/hunter

#

I cant spin that forever

#

What amazes me is sometimes I actually do manage to spin 1v3 for a really long time and my team somehow doesnt cap anything extra

#

Like im tying up 3 people on their team

#

And im the only one on our team tied up

#

So we should have a numbers advantage on the rest of the map

#

But we still dont get anything

pliant lintel
#

yea blitz is shite tbh

#

blitz is for people that can't achieve elite in solo shuffle

#

no flame

outer sky
#

I mean you're right

pliant lintel
#

i wish AT was a thing

#

those were the days

spring bough
#

i love outlaw for blitz cause its fast

#

but sin >>> cause of healer silences

#

just destroyed a whole team on the crystal cart map

outer sky
spring bough
#

dropped both the enemy healers so fast

#

just back to back to back silences and stuns lol

#

8-0 and 1700 on blitz as sin

outer sky
#

Have you not played assa before?

spring bough
#

first season since shadowlands

outer sky
#

Its a lot easier than the pirate gameplay isnt it

spring bough
#

maybe lmao

gleaming sentinel
outer sky
#

Yeah its easily the best solo queue rogue spec

tight hill
#

i'm kinda sad, feels like the last outlaws are falling feelsyarrman

gleaming sentinel
#

It’s just fun to play the game and not wanna jump off a bridge

#

Outlaw I do so much work in shuffle only to 3-3 becuase I can’t close a game out on my own

#

Vs I can just lizardlizardlizard

pliant lintel
#

same with sub

gleaming sentinel
#

As sin and win

outer sky
#

Sub is even worse than outlaw for solo queue i think

gleaming sentinel
pliant lintel
#

the problem with sub is WA and stun DR's

#

outlaw just doesnt do dam

outer sky
#

Yeah if your team plays well sub can be really good but how often does that happen in solo

gleaming sentinel
tight hill
#

i wonder if sub would feel much nicer in shuffle with blades on 1m cd

spring bough

hidden moth
#

Also @outer sky I was wrong earlier

#

Cold blood making your envenom match your last coin doesn’t set it to the one you got the highest streak on

#

If u use kb and get 2x edge case (head and tail x2)

#

Then do cold blood envenoms

#

Both envenoms coins will also be edge case coins

#

At that point u have a guarantee lucky 7 and are at 6/7 on the other side to also get another lucky coin XD

outer sky

#

Just pray you win that 50/50 coin flip

go downstairs hit the bathroom fill my water annnnnnnddddd both ques popped

pliant lintel

gz brother

turbid ore
#

i was in the 1700s for i think 4 hrs

pliant lintel
#

oh @outer sky i played some assa yesterday, was alright think i was trying to hard tho was committing vanishes when things were off stun DR etc then i'd burn all my vanishes and have nothing left 🤣

#

sub/outlaw brain

outer sky
#

Make sure that you always vanish then meld then vanish

#

Or

#

Meld then vanish then vanish

#

Basically just dont use both your vanish charges before you meld

spring bough
#

9-0 blitz as sin

outer sky
#

Because vanish can only cooldown 1 charge at a time so you want vanish and meld cooling down

pliant lintel
#

yea i'd meld first but i was burning meld/vanishes just to reapply big bleeds without KB or DM etc so wasn't really making much pressure

#

trying to play assa like sub

#

when i could just pump

outer sky
#

You can vanish without those things but typically you only would if youre trying to spam CC people so your teammate can pump

#

Like if you see your boomie just incarned or something

pliant lintel
#

yea played to 2.3/2.4mmr last night not really understanding anything and pressing buttons haha

#

from my lack of play time i definatly prefer destiny defined though felt a lot smoother

outer sky
#

Inevitable End takes some getting used to but it is much more damage

pliant lintel
#

felt with inevitable end i was trying to squeeze too much into a kidney

outer sky
#

But destiny defined gives you a bit more control over your burst

outer sky
gleaming sentinel
#

Rofl

pliant lintel
#

huh

outer sky
# pliant lintel huh

I used to main sub rogue too and when i swapped to assa I was making the mistake holding damage until the kill target was stunned

#

You dont really have to

#

You mentioned trying to fit too much into a kidney

#

But you dont really need to worry about it

#

If kidney ends its still kinda fine

#

If that happens as a sub rogue youre just screwed though

jaunty mirage
#

I’ve def ended games where I just sent a dm and kingsbane go with no available stuns and they just died to damage

static holly
#

Beta starts 11.11 ❤️ 🎉

outer sky
#

That pretty much never happens as sub though

#

A lot of people when they switch grief themselves trying to play a little too much around stuns like they would as sub

outer sky
pliant lintel
outer sky
#

You'll pick it up fast its way easier than what youre already doing

#

Just a bit different

pliant lintel
#

yea that's what my problem was i think just trying to outplay everybody in the lobby when i could just be doing damage

#

do i need big garrote's to kill or nah?

#

or i guess im just vanishing for master assassin

outer sky
#

Realistically you vanish to CC

#

I dont think vanishing for damage alone is ever worth it unless youre CERTAIN that doing so gets you a kill

#

Also extra damage from garrote from stealth is nerfed in pvp

#

Its only 20%

#

Meaningful but not gamebreaking

pliant lintel
#

alright that makes sense

#

and when i don't have KB or DM i just kidney shiv?

pliant lintel
#

roger dodger think I have assa sussed

#

ill log assa after 3s

#

oh actually i have 1 more question

#

is it worth crimson tempest on 1 target or just send the envenom

spring bough
pliant lintel
#

BRO

#

legit

#

i was making games last 2-3mins waiting for perfect setup

#

hahahaha

outer sky
pliant lintel
#

yea think I was also prioritising it way too high then and not pressing envenom enough

gleaming sentinel
outer sky
jaunty mirage
#

You still run system shock into non disarm lobbies?

outer sky
#

Im NOT saying to do it though

#

Im the only one doing that

#

Try it if you want but its not official advice

jaunty mirage
#

I go back and forth

#

Sometimes it feels worth it and sometimes it doesn’t

spring bough
hidden moth
#

Also why system shock

#

More dam?

jaunty mirage
#

Also big shoutout to the absolute creatures playing tanks in arena

hidden moth
jaunty mirage
#

Lmao

#

Nothing terrible or anything but I do hope they all stub their toe kinda hard whenever they get up from their desk

hidden moth
#

Desk?

#

I lay on the floor

#

On my stomach the whole time

1.3 seconds 76% hp to dead

grim sequoia
hidden moth
#

or ur goes

grim sequoia
#

Ahh

#

This is the build i want to use, to be more bursty ass rogue, but how exactly do i get the big envemons with it?

hidden moth
#

1 dont run destiny defined

#

u use inevitable end

grim sequoia
#

oh

#

ok ty

hidden moth
#

kb gives u 2x edge case

#

inevitable end makes ur envenom guaruntee match the last flip

#

so dm 2x kb 2x venom 1x venom 1x for 6x edge case coins

grim sequoia
#

how does kingsbane give 2 edge case?

#

nvm figured it out, its the set bonus

fathom crag
#

i actually prefer without the envenom talent

hidden moth
#

wtaf is shadow priest

noble venture
#

Are you able to shine some light on that, please?

#

Every DR until I have 1 vanish left?

outer sky
# hidden moth Also why system shock

It basically amounts to 10-15% more envenom damage which isnt much on the overall meters but its a good bit more damage when you're bursting. I think people would be taking it more if it was worded that way

noble venture
#

Up until now we've been trying to send a vanish every minute to align kingsbane with malevolence, but we're not getting much done

#

Sometimes I'll send another if I feel it's a good punish, etc, but it's not feeling super offensive

#

My concern is I'll send all my vanishes and die aha

outer sky

#

this priest rendrys lost 1st round with me disc assa arms vs ret ww disc

#

said "1 cc" bc i died when he was cc'd but had 0 vanish left no cloak evasion etc

#

had to hit him with a "1 cc" when i ran throuhg his ww hp bar the very next round when he was in a singular kidney. then a nice lil "1 cc" after i 5-1 the fuckin lobby

#

thought about saying "heal diff"

#

lmfaooo

molten hedge
#

I don’t need 10-15% when I can just 200%

#

Memeing

jaunty mirage
#

Took a 7.4m aimed shot on my lock last night on an opener one round

#

Cost me the 6-0

hidden moth
#

Oof

jaunty mirage
#

So annoying to fight mm on my lock purely because we’re both trying to do the same thing but only one of us has to deal with interrupts

grim sequoia
#

Do you guys hardly ever use ambush/mutilate?

sharp sierra
jaunty mirage
#

I press it if I need combo points and I can’t fok or garrote

#

Wouldn’t say never but just not a lot

grim sequoia

Im watching this guy play to learn, and he dooesnt even have mut on his keybinds lol

But I’m never pressing ambush from stealth

grim sequoia
#

he has ambush, but i never see him press it

jaunty mirage
#

Yea I mean as assa if you’re playing fatebound you really never need ambush

#

But it also doesn’t take any time to just make a macro with both

#

I recently rearranged my keybinds though so I wasn’t as tempted to spam mutilate

devout meadow
#

excuse me

#

is there any reason why 1 weapon is more expensive than the other 4?

it just has shiv icon

and how it legit says "mutilate" on the button KEKL

grim sequoia
#

ohh

#

yeah i just read that lol

#

why shiv icon monkahmm

potent pivot
#

its just a macro

#

some pvpers set up their bars so that they have 2 icons for every cooldown

#

replacing the icon of basic globals with CD icon/tooltips

so they can more easily see in their peripheral vision

When did you start playing outlaw

#

Newer outlaw players will hate it

#

It looks good on Alpha

#

Not perfect but the energy issue is like 99% solved

wet crown

or am i thinking of the tww s3 one

that could be it actually holyshit

either that or its from a raid boss or something

Nah

You're like

#

A 1400 main for sure

#

It's okay big dawg

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

I will say

#

Idt I earned a single enchant this expac

#

They've all been bad

#

And pvp this expac has been bad in general

potent pivot
#

i got s1 iirc?

#

don't think i ever applied it a single time though KEKL

potent pivot
#

rewards, gameplay etc

stoic spruce
#

It's a shame too because PvE I feel has been pretty solid

#

If you only pve this expac is probably really good for you

potent pivot
#

i did a little bit in s1, and a bit more in s2 i think?

#

it was ok, but its still just pve

stoic spruce
#

And rogue got minim changes which didn't help

potent pivot
#

delves were sorta cool, going through them for the first time at least

#

once you have lvl 11 delves on farm and good gear they are boring

stoic spruce
#

I think delves are the thing I ran the most and that was just for mog farming

#

I've hit no achievements on any character this season yet

#

I really should get geared for brawlers guild though

#

I imagine they're gonna tune the fights for mid-high ilvl

grave basin
stoic spruce
#

You'll probably like it

#

I hope so, if not rogue rework failed 2x

stoic spruce
#

It's barebones outlaw

grave basin
#

Wouldn't consider the DF mid expansion one a rework anyway

stoic spruce
#

Revamp at best

grave basin
#

They just left it completely unfinished

stoic spruce
#

For some it was perfect

#

Idk

#

It sucked

grave basin
#

And no garrote silence

#

So wtf does it do now

stoic spruce
#

I meant gameplay

grave basin
#

Just fury warrior reskined?

#

Ye I mean in PvP, what's its niche now

#

In 12.0

vocal surge
#

Skirmisher

stoic spruce
#

Probably another sustain spec

#

Play with other rot specs

#

Since dps CDs have been culled and healing overall has been reworked

grave basin
#

Wouldn't assa work better with rot specs

stoic spruce
#

It's still a CD spec. I'm talking like outlaw/bm thug

#

Or whatever

grave basin
#

So is it sustain or cd

stoic spruce
#

Cd

#

Well in theory. Tuning passes haven't been made yet.

grave basin
#

Isn't AR still balanced around 90% uptime?

stoic spruce
#

No

grave basin
#

Really

stoic spruce
#

Ye

grave basin
#

What's the perfect pve uptime now

stoic spruce
#

I don't think we have that info yet

vocal surge
#

in Midnight?

stoic spruce
#

But we know for sure uptime has been dramatically reduced

grave basin
#

Think I saw whaaz showing it off and there's a choice node of 15% damage amp or longer duration AR

stoic spruce
#

Yeah, it's an interesting node for sure

#

I think the duration is a pve talent though

#

Since we need more up front dsmage

grave basin
#

Yea it's good to have that choice for bursty profile

#

Idk if verse stacking is gonna be a thing but if they're immortal in midnight theyre looking interesting

stoic spruce
#

It's not. We lost Ruthless Precision so we gotta make up for lost crit.

#

And then the haste tax ofc

grave basin
#

Outlaw mastery not being changed is weird

#

Like when else is this supposed to happen

stoic spruce
#

I think it makes sense since outlaw is sustain spec with some abilities striking twice

#

But it shouldn't be this bad

grave basin
#

Well they could make it thematic

#

And just increase its damage value

#

Like what they did to ww mastery

#

Just flat increase its value by like 30% going into 11.2

#

Making it a giga stacking secondary

vocal surge
#

That'd be interesting

stoic spruce
#

It should just be tuned better. It's best not to change things just for the sake of changing things because that rarely works out.

vocal surge
#

Or increase its based attack power scaling

stoic spruce
#

Lots of ways to buff it but they wont

#

Naturally

vocal surge
#

Since Mastery works on bandages, toilet paper, and prayers

#

Like it does .1% Attack power on its scaling

#

But it clearly hits harder than that

#

Even 10% mastery effectively doubles how strong Main Gauche is

grave basin
#

Yea but somehow verse is still stronger

#

The tuning is just off

vocal surge
#

Vers affects everything thou

grave basin
#

Like it's such a simple tuning knob

stoic spruce
#

The perk of being a pure physical spec

#

That attacks a lot

vocal surge
#

Whereas Mastery has to affect something that does like 3% - 4% of our damage

spring bough
vocal surge
#

By the tip you hit 60% mastery its like 11%

stoic spruce
#

You just want SoD combat tank

vocal surge
#

Saber Slash is not the tank rune for rogue though

#

Its Main Gauche

stoic spruce
#

Let's be real, it didn't really matter garf_sit

grave basin
#

Their math guys can just increase main gauche damage such that 1% mastery > 1% verse up to softcap

#

But they won't

vocal surge
#

There's the other thing about Main Gauche

#

Where it scales well with Haste

grave basin
#

Any spec that stacks verse is just DOA when everyone is fully geared

vocal surge
#

Like 50% haste makes Main Gauche machinegun

grave basin
#

Well they're trying to "force" crit to be more of a thing now

#

Across the board

#

Like arms now has so many crit modifiers

vocal surge
#

Ye

grave basin
#

Sub has haste and crit

vocal surge
#

Its good that all secondary stats matter

grave basin
#

Depends on how they do it

#

If it's a stat tax then no

vocal surge
#

Otherwise we end up with what Outlaw is rn which is stacking mechanical hardcaps like in Remix

#

Then dumping Mastery

grave basin
#

Isn't outlaw the worst PI target in the game

vocal surge
#

Yes

potent pivot
grave basin
#

Who's worse

potent pivot
#

well sub was worse iirc

stoic spruce
#

It's one of them but not the worst

potent pivot
#

now that they changed it idk

vocal surge
#

Absolute worse is Brewmaster

grave basin
vocal surge
#

But no one PIs tanks

grave basin
#

Guys pop lust my damage is gonna soar

#

Jk

#

I'm a rogue spec

vocal surge
#

Lol

potent pivot
#

i'm surprised its as bad for fury/havoc as it is

vocal surge
#

Yeee

grave basin
#

Hopefully it changes (it won't)

#

Sub probably won't even play the haste stacking talents if I'm seeing correctly @potent pivot

#

Since it desyncs your CDs

#

True?

vocal surge
#

Outlaws gonna be crit stacking in Midnight

#

With some haste

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

highly highly doubt

#

either they will just fix the desync

#

or we will just deal with it

#

if there's no CDR from spending combo points, we have no choice

grave basin
#

You'd have to play around certain breakpoints which is gonna be ass though

#

Just .. don't spec it

potent pivot
grave basin
#

Now as in 11.2 or now as in midnight

potent pivot
#

i hate it more than anyone trust me lmao

#

midnight

#

but even right now its probably good to run some haste for dance duration

vocal surge
grave basin
#

War looking cracked though

#

Arms is getting amazing changes

vocal surge
#

Yeee

potent pivot
#

i'm surprised to see no one has tried running some haste with the change

grave basin
#

Like actually good ones

vocal surge
#

Heroic Strike casually doing 1/3 someone's HP

grave basin
#

Even from a talent tree perspective

#

They were whining about the last gate before the capstones being 2 pointers

#

They changed it to 1 pointers this build

#

In the general class tree

#

So now they have freedom to pick diff utility nodes

vocal surge
#

That's so dumb and op

grave basin
#

Meanwhile our class tree

#

Are just lines going down

vocal surge
#

Its not ret lvls

#

Where they have LoH 1min CD

grave basin
#

Doesn't have to be Ret lvl

vocal surge
#

But still really dumb and OP

grave basin
#

Shaman class tree from like first draft of DF alpha

vocal surge
#

Considering Warriors smack hard af

grave basin
#

Was alrdy really good

#

In terms of pathing

#

And picking up all your utility

#

You can path horizontally almost everywhere

#

And that was built like 4 years? ago

#

I mean look at how many times the hunter class tree completely changed

#

Not even just a small node change here or there

#

I mean completely redone

stoic spruce
grave basin
#

Interesting

potent pivot
#

we were talking about the things coming in midnight

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

potent pivot
#

not the change that went live already

#

unless they already changed something on the alpha, i'm pretty positive there was a desync issue with the new haste CDR talents

#

like from Blades or sec tech, idr

stoic spruce
stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

is dance not getting hasted cdr?

#

now its just symbols? lmao

stoic spruce
stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

thats still dumb

potent pivot
#

sec tech has always had cdr based on combo points, like dance

#

now idk wtf they are thinking

#

first it was hasted cdr dance+symbols, now its hasted duration dance+cdr symbols

grave basin
#

I'm so lost

stoic spruce
#

Sec tech has hasted CD

potent pivot
#

idk if they even know what they're thinking

stoic spruce
#

By default

grave basin
#

??

stoic spruce
grave basin
#

Wha

stoic spruce
#

Yeah hasted sec tech cdr is baseline

grave basin
#

They can't just put everything under the same system ?

#

It has to be this convoluted mess

stoic spruce
#

Sec tech has hasted cdr baseline in its ability, symbols gets its cdr from a seperate haste talent, dance duration is increased by haste

potent pivot
#

yeah it all just sounds horrid

grave basin
#

Wtf am I reading

grave basin
grave basin
stoic spruce
#

I said that not knowing how bad they made it

#

It's so over for sub

#

I thought I did but I didnt

#

My guess is that they did this to make it easier to tune? Idk

#

I've no idea how to justify it

grave basin
#

How tf is that easier

potent pivot
#

they probably changed the Dance talent to fix the desync

grave basin
#

But that's probably assuming you alrdy have a certain haste amount

potent pivot
#

but regardless they're just trying to make haste valuable for sub

grave basin
#

If you're over x% haste you desync

#

And if you are below you still desync

potent pivot
#

they should just make all CDs effected by haste, including Blades

#

then just tune the damage from there

#

that way nothing desyncs

grave basin
#

Imagine testing the spec you develop

#

Can't be blizzard

stoic spruce
grave basin
#

I mean they aren't consistent with that philosophy

#

If you're a one DPS spec your one DPS spec has to be good

#

Meanwhile ww??

#

We just don't exist??

#

Target caps hello?

stoic spruce
#

This was in the context of 3 dps specs

#

That's a whole different thing

grave basin
#

Yea but they specifically said Ret had to be good

#

Cause rets can't respec

#

Ok then in PvP on what planet is ww even close to Ret or even sp

stoic spruce
#

Ret is blizzards star child so that's expected they bring up ret

stoic spruce
grave basin
#

They brought up Ret as an example of a hybrid with only one DPS spec

#

And like poor babies they can't just respec if Ret is bad

#

Uwu give them every healer cd known to man

stoic spruce
#

Give them more actually

It's so fucking stupid

grave basin
#

Why? Hunters can't attack in turtle and mages can't attack in block

#

Why are they even allowed to do damage in bubble

#

Like at all

stoic spruce
#

Because rets supposed niche is to keep their teammates alive but in reality it's to be S tier all the time.

#

Frankly I just don't think anything about ret redeems it

Why should the entire player base be held hostage by a small handful of degenerate try-hards competing in tournaments nobody even cares about? It doesn’t even have to be this way.

and qs are fast beccause its a fun healer to play

outer sky

Yeah they need to make other healers that fun to play

Instead of nerfing it to be unfun like the others

pliant lintel

think they just need to tone trinity down a little and it would help put them back in line

resto druid needs buffs but idk how you'd fix it

playing with hpal is sketchy always sat a 50% hp haha

outer sky
# pliant lintel resto druid needs buffs but idk how you'd fix it

One glaring problem with this game IMO is that theres a few specs where the game is just way more fun if theyre bad. Resto druid is one of those specs. Them being good makes the meta agonizing. Every game is an 8 minute damp fest where youre playing for mana.

just the fact was triple caster on tol viron haha

had a 4 min game

yea thats no fun

If it were me I would play to kill the boomie in a smoke bomb every game vs him

And vs the shaman id aim to kill him after trinket

I would sap him, blind him out of it, kidney him, and garrote spam him to make him trinket

Them pillar hump to save cloak

Save a step for thunderstorm

yea agreed but when everybody standing 40yard doing pve 0 cc

Or hugs a pillar like a momo and LOS themself from u when u been in the same spot all game

literally stuck on pillar mid map losing

And then blames you for LOS when it was their fault

pliant lintel

wanted to quit r3

outer sky

Its just so aids like

#

You want to kill a lock

#

Or a hunter

#

Or whatever

#

And every time they feel any pressure

#

They just port

#

Or disengage back

#

And you cant chase because you'll range your healer

#

So they basically can never die

pliant lintel
#

that's also another problem with voidweaver

#

add it to the list

#

they want to play max range and blast 24/7

outer sky
# pliant lintel they want to play max range and blast 24/7

Yes but on the flip side of that, theyre much less reliant on LoS to heal you. Even if youre not in their line, as long as you have atonement on you you'll get healed by them. Thats actually a secretly broken aspect of disc priest that nobody talks about

pliant lintel

Yea

#

But never pushing for CC is cringe

outer sky
#

Yeah it is

pliant lintel

Idk that lobby just tilted me

outer sky

Did you 0-6?

pliant lintel

nahh 2-4

4 minute games in solo shuffle

jaunty mirage

Ahh it was a boomy 6-0

outer sky

Oh yeah

#

The boomie just owned the lobby

jaunty mirage

A boomy that knows their shit will absolutely wreck a lobby and you can’t do a whole lot about it

Boomy can go with so many classes

You just have to pray one of the other dps fucks up

outer sky

Yeah @pliant lintel think of it this way. As aids as it is to fight triple caster on TV arena, you did as well as 2/3 of those casters

jaunty mirage

Yeah lol

pliant lintel

shammy told me to go watch a guide

hahahaha

jaunty mirage

lol

outer sky
pliant lintel

that was 2.3mmr

so ye low

outer sky
#

Yeah so the healers may not have been very good either

pliant lintel
#

ye healers were defo the problem and boomy just taking advantage

outer sky
#

Priest healer meta is also really good for boomies

#

Because most priests play undead

#

And a non-gnome priest is the only healer that cant get out of root beam

jaunty mirage
#

To be clear to the new people coming in here looking for tips: 2.3 is low for them, it’s not low lol

#

Lotta people gonna be in here thinking they suck for scraping to 1900 for the first time lmao

Yeah I mean low relative to the top of the ladder not relative to what rating most people are

Good catch

jaunty mirage

Haha

i swear 2100-2300 is harder than 2400+

i some what agree with that

healer quality alone

it's mostly just healers at that mmr

That range is a slog for sure

Yeah true

gleaming sentinel

be proud of yourself no matter what, but always try to improve

jaunty mirage

Correct

pliant lintel

1800 is top 30%

so if you're around that you're doiung great

outer sky
jaunty mirage

Like half my games in that range were 3-3

gleaming sentinel
#

yea totally

jaunty mirage
#

Cause there’s so often a healer going 6-0

gleaming sentinel
#

healers just dont trade that efficiently yet and dont dispel the right stuff is my experience

jaunty mirage
#

Felt like every 4-5 lobbies before 2400 there’d be a healer dead set on going 0-6

They dispel the fear on the hunter even though his trueshot is over and youre just sitting a full HoJ during subterfuge

guess i go lift instead

outer sky
#

There was a game I played recently where I kingsbaned, dudes at 10%, I get feared, and my healer starts casting ult penn instead of dispelling me. Like bro just give me 1 global to envenom and we win like come on

jaunty mirage
#

Managed to escape a sub rogue lobby 4-2 last night on my second rogue cause both druids kept cloning people on the sub rogues cds lmao

#

I was triggered for him

outer sky
#

Like when I kidney someone and they get cloned, so I vanish, step cheap shot someone else and then the druid swaps the clone to them

jaunty mirage
#

He whispered me afterwards that he hates going against other rogues that know the game

#

Soon as he was on the other team I told the healers I’m just gonna hold my trinket forever

outer sky
#

Yeah you can only trinket smoke bomb

jaunty mirage
#

Yeah

outer sky
#

Actually one mistake I make is that I almost never trinket offensively. Like unless im 100% sure I can kill, I dont trinket offensively

#

Ever

#

Ill sit my entire 12s garrote window In CC

jaunty mirage
#

Feel like that’s fine approach in shuffle

outer sky
#

And never trinket

jaunty mirage
#

Shuffle is so chaotic

#

Trinketing offensively has such a high likelihood of not working out

outer sky
#

Its actually not even because im afraid of dying

#

Thats part of it sure

#

But the big reason is I dont want to get CCd on whatever set up I think will win the game

#

So ill just save trinket until I either need it to live or need it to win in the next 5 seconds

jaunty mirage
#

We won a round vs that sub rogue cause he trinketed to try for a kill on me and I had the better druid and he just cloned the rogue 3x and we won

pliant lintel

Ngl as a sub main playing with another rogue is aids

I played a lobby last night with Mes in it

On his dk

He was playing frost

jaunty mirage
#

He does so much damage

outer sky
#

And he IBFd my first stun

pliant lintel
#

Rip

outer sky
#

Then trinketed my disarm

#

And It was lights out

pliant lintel
#

Probably because his Weakauras told him to OMEGAKEKW

outer sky
#

He said on stream he knew that would happen and didn't know why he did that

pliant lintel
#

Seem to be a lot of FDK recently

#

On EU there is anyway

outer sky
#

Their burst is unreal

#

But also

#

Theyre only as good as their go

jaunty mirage
#

Yea fdk burst if they know how to play is wild

outer sky
#

So if you spam CC them

#

They pretty much have to trinket and ibf offensively

#

Or they cant do anything

jaunty mirage
#

IMO a good fdk burst is scarier than almost anything atm

outer sky
#

Oh 100%

jaunty mirage

Esp because like, I have tools to deal with it
