Stun>12s CD starts>dance>its still on CD

potent pivot
#

no

#

it ignores its cd

outer sky
#

I thought it meant if you vanish or dance then it wouldn't go on CD

fathom crag
#

yea its still on cd but the game gives u a free charge its like yellow glowing and MEANWHILE the cd is going still

potent pivot
#

but it'll let u cheap even if its on cd as well

outer sky
#

Ok then yeah its better than 2 charges for sub

fathom crag
#

then we go to the point

#

assa/outlaw will be omega useless if it doesnt do a shit ton of damage

#

but then whats the fun though

#

i play rogue cus i like ccs

spring bough
fathom crag
#

i mean we need to see the PvP on beta see how it feels

spring bough
#

Ima pretend outlaw S tier for season one midnight

fathom crag
#

but why would u play these specs if u got no ccs

#

and warrior/dh/dk outdamages u

outer sky
potent pivot
potent pivot
#

i didn't check

outer sky
#

I think so

fathom crag
#

i really think they should make kidney 20sec & 6sec duration + make blind 6sec

#

so were useful

#

if we lose cheap shot u know

outer sky
fathom crag
#

ye then i guess remove all the ccs

lime oar
#

those were the good ol days

fathom crag
#

and make us do big damage 0 ccs

#

its very fun i guess

outer sky
stoic spruce
lime oar
#

it was sooo much easier than what we have now tho

stoic spruce
#

Esp when everyone is losing stuff

fathom crag
#

quick video so u can understand

#

@outer sky

gleaming sentinel
stoic spruce
#

As long as we have blind, gouge, kidney, and disarm, I'm fine. Which is what more than some classes can say.

#

Also I got a ping but didn't see what it said

#

And its lost to time so I won't find it

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Only rogues and warriors should have it imo

outer sky
#

That shit needs to either go away all together or go on a longer CD

stoic spruce
#

Rogues and warriors should have an MS and DK gets a health absorb

#

No else gets it

fathom crag
#

but lowkey sub is gna be insane

#

and very fun with the haste build

potent pivot
#

i don't think feral is losing any cc?

#

Fuck

fathom crag
#

you mean secret tech?

outer sky
#

I hate that button lol

#

Its so clunky

fathom crag
#

im not playing it

stoic spruce
#

It's like bte but with shadow ninjas

fathom crag
#

whole sub tree is about shadowstrike so mastery becomes less mandatory than before

potent pivot
fathom crag
#

im playing this

gleaming sentinel
#

Secret tech killing blow is crazy vibey

stoic spruce
#

Outlaw killing blows will be from SS hitting twice garf_sit

fathom crag
#

they changed so many talents that are now buffing shadowstrike man

#

its gna be fun

potent pivot
fathom crag
#

yea i could drop 1 finality for goremaw

outer sky
#

IMO sub should be stun people, build with strike, spend with evisc

fathom crag
#

i agree

#

but IMO

gleaming sentinel
#

Doesn’t it? lol

fathom crag
#

some new playstyle is good for the game

#

i like changes

#

it gives me some classic vibes

#

big ambush

stoic spruce
gleaming sentinel

The more I’ve thought about it

outer sky
potent pivot
gleaming sentinel
#

Staying in the fight etc

fathom crag
#

cus sub is literally same as DF its the same boring shit rupture ppl secret tech n shit i cba

#

at least were changing now

#

but ur right when u do big evis it feels good

#

i remember SL kyrian was a lot of fun

stoic spruce

#

hahaha

#

it was still good

#

in unchained season

#

when u land on the blue CP

Not for me anyway

I ain't playing that garbage lol

gleaming sentinel

#

Outlaw officially not stealth focused

fathom crag
stoic spruce
#

Crazy

fathom crag
#

so much memories...

stoic spruce
#

Crazy how bfa really solidified outlaws spot as a stealthless rogue

fathom crag
#

ogs remember between the eyes as a ranged stun

#

that had CDR

stoic spruce
#

What a great ability

fathom crag
#

plunder armor bro...

stoic spruce

#

legion outlaw was peak

#

& the belf at the end

#

the old belf man

fathom crag
#

duel was so good

#

i actually forgot about that spell

#

everyone was playing BM

stoic spruce
#

Shadowy duel

#

That fuckin talent

#

Idk if I've hated anything more in pvp

fathom crag
#

shadowlands great times man

#

2400 in 3s was like #4000 or smth

stoic spruce
#

Any Outlaws in here starting arenas on their mounts in Midnight?

#

Stealth? Wdym?

#

Speak into the mic

fathom crag
#

its good they remove the stealth gameplay

spring bough
wet crown
#

Wrong reply lol

#

but like

#

Rogue needs more self healing or some shit to make up for this, because literally what the fuck is a rogue doing in pvp now

stoic spruce
wet crown
#

i feel like an afflock can probably afk and kill an outlaw on alpha r/n lol

gleaming sentinel
#

Tbc glad mount for the billionth season in a row since I’m not good enough for the new ones

wet crown
#

and half of aff doesn't even work

stoic spruce
#

I think the overall changes to every class is too broad to make assumptions atm

wet crown
#

I mean tuning will happen and whatever tf near the end

gleaming sentinel
#

Complain early and complain often

wet crown
#

but in terms of toolkit I'm really not seeing a compelling reason to be a rogue besides loving rogue.

stoic spruce
#

Sure but in terms of defensives and utility and such.

#

Rogue still has a lot of ST CC

wet crown
#

Well i've been forum banned since wod and the only other outlaw player is a wowhead writer so gg

stoic spruce
#

Culled yes but we'll see come beta

gleaming sentinel
wet crown
#

They're the only ones that can still spam cheap shot so I guess it makes sense

stoic spruce
#

Sub gets a second cheapshot

#

Sub is sub

wet crown
#

I thought it was three

stoic spruce
#

They should never cry

gleaming sentinel
#

And 8seconds of dance

wet crown
#

free + 2 charges

#

dogshit change btw

#

Hate it

outer sky
# fathom crag bro HAHA

I still had almost half the kidney left too. He could have had iron bark on him and id still of killed him there

potent pivot
#

I love playing around stealth/vanish/subterfuge

fathom crag
#

i do too but not on outlaw

wet crown
fathom crag
#

for me outlaw is like the brawler spec

#

like warrior 2.0

#

but with ccs

potent pivot
#

Ya

wet crown
#

It needs sustain or it's gonna be like putting a small pony against conquest

fathom crag
#

and yes it wouldve been better without these shit bugs

outer sky
wet crown
#

like

#

Crimson vial ain't it chief

fathom crag
#

legion crimson vial wouldve saved u tho...

wet crown
#

gimme that feint heal back, it'd be trash but it'd be better than vial lmao

potent pivot
#

I don’t mind rogue defensives

#

I don’t want to be like DH or warr

fathom crag
#

feint is too good atm

#

it needs a nerf without being delusional

wet crown
#

without vanish

#

or we can just be shit

potent pivot
outer sky
wet crown
#

every other class is keeping their sustain stuff for the most part

#

either we get some of that or we're just kinda ass outside very niche situations

potent pivot
#

What sustain is being lost

fathom crag
#

shouldve roared u in duel but u had trinket for it anyway

wet crown
#

but without our vanish and vanish utilities we're going to wish we had more sustain when every other melee is outhealing us effortlessly

fathom crag
#

haha if they had wekauras man in that clip they can just pre wall pre bark i dont think u go through

potent pivot
fathom crag
#

midnight is gna be so fun without addons

wet crown
fathom crag
#

u wont get stopped 0.1 on dance OMEGAKEKW

potent pivot
#

Because lord knows what it’s gonna look like kekw3

wet crown
#

Take a page out of the paladin book, apparently that works.

potent pivot
#

Idk

#

I don’t think we need sustain

wet crown
#

also burn down the server or something

potent pivot
fathom crag
#

u think it will be a thing?

potent pivot
#

I do

outer sky
potent pivot
#

Some people already use full on pvp bots or just kick bots etc

#

I think more people will be willing to use illegal addons than those

fathom crag
#

WTS Mes Midnight weakauras 50$

#

that mes pack man

#

gna be hella expensive...

potent pivot
#

I also think people will get better at watching enemy buffs

#

Like they should have been from the start really, but used WAs instead

#

I heard BBF/BBP is continuing in midnight

#

So it’ll probably still be possible to add glows and enlarge certain buffs on enemy frames etc

outer sky
#

Well theres a real chance that illegal add-ons will be so prevalent that it will practically create a situation where you have to cheat to win

#

Thats something im afraid of

#

The entire top of the ladder being mostly players using them

lime oar
#

i vote we all just brainless zug and don’t look at any buffs

outer sky
#

And I dont think blizzard will even do anything about it. Theres a prot pally who has an actual youtube video going around about the strategies he uses to win trade and he's somehow still not banned

lime oar
#

Everyone just full on tunnel

#

all the tanks win trade it’s a criminal underground fr

outer sky
#

I dont think tanks should be eligible for r1s in arena. Actually I dont think they should even be allowed to queue arena in the first place. At least not rated. But, one battle at a time

dark kernel
#

This build is probably pure ASS in shuffle, but when teammates dont recognize shaman is cheese 1 shot and dont make moves to kick

#

anytime an enemy player gets down to like 75% HP they just die

stoic spruce
#

Blizz won't prevent players from queuing based on role

wet crown
#

fucking get that troll shit outta here

#

_>

stoic spruce
#

Tanks are such a non issue anyway

#

There's only a handful of them

#

But sub rogues?

#

Far worse

#

Every match up is rmp and cupid

outer sky
#

Tuning changes and they become an issue

#

Its happened before

stoic spruce
#

They're tuned pretty good rn

#

Bdk keeping up with most dps specs

#

Vdh being vdh

#

Which ain't new tbh

outer sky
#

Nah man

#

You should have seen early SL prot paladin

stoic spruce
#

I did

outer sky
#

It saw play in AWC

stoic spruce
#

I played with one too

outer sky
#

And did alright

#

Yeah thats what I want to avoid

stoic spruce
#

Why

outer sky
#

If that ever happens the game is trash

stoic spruce
#

I'd rather tanks in my 3s than MW being good tbh

#

Solo shuffle fine

#

Idrc about that

outer sky
#

Its really just prot pally tbh

stoic spruce
#

Teah..Yeah.

outer sky
#

Prot warrior can be annoying too

#

But pally

#

My god

#

That shit

#

If its ever even decent

#

The game is so bad

stoic spruce
#

Unholy/prot warr/hpal tsg =unkillable

#

Bodyguard go brrrr

outer sky
#

The entire concept of a tank doesnt fit with the format of arena

#

The idea of a tank is to either take a ton of damage and never die or just never take damage

#

Mixing that design philosophy with arena is just aids

stoic spruce
#

Nothing does. Every spec is designed with pve in mind and pvp as an afterthought maybe. Pvp is just a formality atp.

outer sky
#

Thats just a game design flaw from the eyes of pvpers

dark kernel
#

Tanking only works for pvp games like Warhammer

#

where the game is designed for big team battles

outer sky
#

But in an abstract sense tanks and arena dont mix well

stoic spruce
#

Tanks should provide a more support role. Area denial and stuff for bgs.

outer sky
#

And the reason why

#

Is because in BGs

#

The objective doesn't necessarily depend on killing the enemy team

#

So a tank can mesh with that

#

But not arena

stoic spruce
#

Idk

#

I'm still more pro tank than pro sub

#

Or pro ret

outer sky
#

When prot pally is good its just a more aids version of ret

fathom crag
#

but sub is so fun to face tho

outer sky
#

Sub dies 100-0 in a stun all day long

stoic spruce
#

Everyone does, that's why human is one of the best pvp races

fathom crag
#

why

outer sky
#

Warlocks dont

#

Priests don't

#

Mages don't

fathom crag
#

how is human good

outer sky
#

Pallys dont

stoic spruce
fathom crag
#

it’s awful ?

#

just play orc and u will never die in a stun no ?

outer sky
#

Druids don't

stoic spruce
#

You don't track their stuff do you?

outer sky
#

Of course I do

stoic spruce
#

I don't think you do

outer sky
#

Yes if you get their CDs everything can die

#

But a sub rogue cant press anything while stunned

#

You just need his trinket

#

Thats something true for very few classes

stoic spruce
fathom crag
#

yea human is terrible

#

orc just better by far overall

stoic spruce
#

Orc is nerfed by half and the dmg racial is negligible at best

#

???

fathom crag
#

orc nerfed but still counters sub

#

sub will miss 1 global damage if he restuns u

#

u wont die if he restuns

#

if he doesn’t restun and decide to kill u have a gap to either

#

feint vanish cloak anything

#

yes human u will get a second trinket earlier but u will get triple cheap shotted every 20 sec

#

so it’s pointless

#

looks sick tho

outer sky
#

Yeah the only reason to play human over orc if youre concerned about stuns is if youre playing a class that cant be an orc

stoic spruce
#

Yall

#

Come on now

outer sky
#

Like Human is really good for paladins because they cant be orc anyway and even if they could, they can talent into orc racial and it doesn't stack

stoic spruce
#

I'm not saying they're better than orc

#

I'm saying it's not terrible

fathom crag
#

u said it’s one of the best

stoic spruce
#

It is

#

Top 5 for sure

#

So tell me how that means its better than orc

outer sky
#

Well yeah but so many races arent even played

#

Hes saying its bad because if youre worried about stuns just play orc

stoic spruce
#

Mark my words

outer sky
#

But also your premise is false

#

Not everyone dies in a stun

#

Very few classes do

#

Go open on a warlock without a trinket and try and kill him in a stun DR

stoic spruce
#

Again?

#

I'm at work

outer sky
#

He has to be afk

#

Or it won't happen

stoic spruce
#

No, my teammates just coordinates CCs and Silences

#

Though in shuffle idk

outer sky
#

He can wall and dark pact while silenced

stoic spruce
#

I probably couldn't

outer sky
#

And stunned

#

Priests can disperse

#

Like the list is exhaustive

#

There's very few classes where you can kill them in a stun lock if you can just get their trinket

stoic spruce
#

Idk, I usually win by 2nd go if we live that long from random 1 shots

#

Which

#

I'm pretty sure they didn't actually nerf black arrow

#

Performative nerf for sure

#

"See? We're doing stuff."

outer sky
#

@fathom crag the one argument i can see for human over orc for sub rogues is into sub/fire RMP. Because if the fire mage has combust he can kill you by himself even in the shortened stun lock. So in that situation since orc or no orc youre dead if you get caught without a trinket and Combusted on then its probably better to just have the 2nd trinket

stoic spruce
#

I'm actually so excited to see how pvp damage profiles change in midnight

#

Fire mage looks so Zzz

#

Rip Fire fr

#

If there are still random ass 1 shots, I'm gonna be livid.

realistically you dont really want to "go" them as much as you want to kill them in a swap. If they suspect youre trying to kill them they can play really defensively and its kinda aids

Wtf

outer sky
#

thing is, once you get used to having garrote silence, it feels really bad not having it

#

so whenever assa is meta it takes me a while to swap off of it

i also dont like grappling hook for outlaw

gleaming sentinel

outlwa losing cdr on a bunch of stuff is gonna feel terrible

stoic spruce

So evasion cdr loss will suck

I also sometimes don't play it now and just take sting

However that's gone too

Hello people, can any1 explain me, why rogues have more mastery than allowed, for example 68+ percent, when it has penalty 10%, if im not wrong.

#

I always have max stat and trying to gear without penalty. Am i doing wrong?

fathom crag
#

i guess were last season of war within so stats are really high

#

it’s always like that

#

end of xpac everyone has big stats

you should still put mastery even tho it DRs

I have been kicked on loading screen of blitz after the que window poped up twice, with 15 min and 60 min deserter debuff and lost rating. Great thing happened after losing 5 games in a raw. For mood improvement 👍

Honestly. After getting nameplate DRs I hardly have to look at gladius

fuck me

I was doing really well in a solo shuffle

then i died

losing 1 round

and just out of reflex

#

i typed /afk

and lost 150 points

You have a reflex to type afk?

God damn

And I thought fat fingering my wow journal mid match was bad

yeah when i die i just type /afk

dont you have to confirm the afk now?

wtf is this

there is no way u play blade rush in pvp 💀 hell naw

extra mobility, some energy gain

The extra gap closer is good

not sure if the range was different on it

# neon jasper

It wasn't uncommon back in Shadowlands to use Blade Rush

#

the only problem Blade Rush has rn is it does 0 damage

#

Energy aint a big issue either

neon jasper
#

if it does 0 dam

#

whats the point of having set anyways lmao

potent pivot
#

Tuning can always change

outer sky
#

the problem would be if it does do damage

#

then you have to choose between damage and mobility

wanton breach
#

we will have to wait for tuning before making calls liek that

vocal surge
#

they triple'd its damage

neon jasper
#

idk I dont like these kind of set bonuses they kinda boring

vocal surge
#

Well

neon jasper
#

they could do something with rolls

vocal surge
#

over tripled actually

#

88% Attack Power --> 270% Attack Power

potent pivot
#

Tier sets that force different builds are dope

vocal surge
#

The other thing too is that they move the talent up from the capstone area to where Killing Spree was

#

Which is really good

#

it didn't belong down there when it was competing against build defining capstones

i dont even remember the last time i used blade dance

not blade dance

blade rush

#

i think i might have cast that ability like 5 times in the past 2 years

potent pivot
#

Since they’d have to create 2 different sets for every spec again

wanton breach
#

I honestly like it like this

#

you aren't forced to play a hero talent because of synergy with tier set forcing a class/spec talent

I mean ye u can freely now swich around

yeah

I feel like

#

Outlaw's boutta be in another expac

#

where Fatebound dominates

fringe barn
#

im new to outlaw does that not make unseen blade look really good

#

% chance to reset icd on auto attack + 25% chance to double proc + procs off pistol shot AND ss/ambush

#

vs guaranteed 1 coin on finishers and every 4 finishers its double and hoping its tails

vocal surge
#

The issue isn't if Unseen Blade is good

#

The issue is Infinite stacking coins triumphs straight damage

#

Since Flawless Form is capped at 5 stacks, we're just refreshing the buff whenever the UB procs come in

#

On the other hand Fatebound coins now giving 8% damage on 1st coin and 6% per coin after on heads

#

Or 25% increased tail damage is nutty

molten hedge
#

You’re just another one of those delusional coin flippers, aren’t ya

fringe barn
#

i didnt know it was infinite i thought it reset at some point

vocal surge
vocal surge
#

15% chance per envenom to gain 3 coins

#

Mean streak is applied to that alongside Destiny Defined

#

And you got coins pumping in like crazy

#

For Outlaw, depending on Between the Eyes RNG

#

Imagine stacking 6% damage increases from Between the Eyes with 8% +6% per subsequent Head coin everytime Crackshot pops off

outer sky
#

Stacking modifiers is only busted if the base damage is already high

#

And I dont think they'll let that happen

#

Yee

Either dampen or buff up

Hopefully buff up

Is arena 1,2,3 macros or focus 1,2,3 macro better ? Or preference ?

Feels insane to me to make 12 extra bindings when I can just make 3, but I guess there’s less input between GCDs that way?

fathom crag
#

arena123 better but only on certain spells

#

what do you play @cerulean rapids

cerulean rapids
#

Sub

fathom crag
#

cheapshot arena123 mandatory

#

rest focus

cerulean rapids
#

Is that due to the fact CS is used pretty much always in high tempo

#

CS heal, CS dps etc

fathom crag
#

yea when ppl r close its just way way faster to have cheap123

#

instead of tab

cerulean rapids
#

Ah gotcha, makes sense

#

Not shadow step? Feel like that can be a quick decision sometimes too

fathom crag
#

nah focus

cerulean rapids
#

Or is that because you’re not tab targeting shadowstep

fathom crag
#

yea focus step & focus kidney

cerulean rapids
#

Where as CS is usually 2-3 targ

fathom crag
#

in total u got 4 steps

cerulean rapids
#

Kk

fathom crag
#

1 normal, 1 focus, 1 step + kidney & 1 on ur healer

cerulean rapids
#

Ty for help -

#

So CS mandatory for arena 1-3 and some shadow step kidney/focus as well

spring bough
#

pistol triggering an unseen blade tho seems pretty wicked

#

and extra strike chance too

fathom crag
#

but what u will use on arena123 is cheap shot only

outer sky
#

I kinda want deathstalker assa to be the best spec again. I prefer the play style of it over fatebound

pliant lintel
#

i use arena 1/2/3 Cheap shot and sap

#

rest is focus binds

pliant lintel
outer sky
#

Im not saying its bad

#

But its like by far the least necessary focus macro IMO

cerulean rapids
#

Do you guys tab through your focus targets or have a focus 1,2,3 individual macro

pliant lintel
#

Gouge healer running into bomb, gouge off target cast etc I like it

#

No have focus 1/2/3 bound

outer sky
pliant lintel
#

You can tab target that’s fine, just have focus 1/2/3 bound

#

If you play caster it’s different

#

Then you want arena 1/2/3 bound

outer sky
#

Yeah caster is a whole other game

cerulean rapids
#

Just to clarify - tab target is cycling through each arena opponent, not mousing over and pressing tab

outer sky
cerulean rapids
#

I saw that option yesterday, it works consistantly does it ?

outer sky
#

Yeah

#

But like

#

Another thing I want to say about this

cerulean rapids
#

Turning around to target a bit troll thin

outer sky
#

Is its by far one of the least impactful things about how you play the game

#

Just figure out something youre comfortable with

cerulean rapids
#

Kk Ty

outer sky
#

Even if on paper its sub optimal

#

It'll almost never lose you a game

cerulean rapids
pliant lintel
#

have it on player not nearest enemy

#

you said you're playing sub right?

cerulean rapids
#

Yes

outer sky
# cerulean rapids Heh

Up until literally this season, I used to shadow step to my healer by clicking their frame and stepping to them. I didnt have a macro for it. And the ONLY reason I made one was for convenience, not because what i was doing wasnt working

pliant lintel
#

ite make sure you have separate keybind for symbols and get used to it don't just macro it into dance

outer sky
#

But if you ask the average wow PvPer, they'd say you couldn't break 1600 doing that

#

And I was 2900

#

I could go back to doing that today if I wanted to and it wouldn't make any difference

cerulean rapids
#

Good to know, so you have a target enemy macro and a target focus ?

pliant lintel
cerulean rapids
#

Feel like you could just mouseover frame step anyway

#

Save a click

pliant lintel
#

you can yea but it's not something you're going to press all the time

#

but

outer sky
#

I was talking to this guy in one of the guilds im in who's new to pvp and he was having trouble getting 1800 for the elite said and this guy unironically said it may be because he didnt have a macro to set focus targets and I about spit my coffee out. Like hey if anyone here thinks they cant hit 1800 because of anything to do with macros and targeting then I have a beach front property in Mongolia to sell you

cerulean rapids
#

You’ve got your mouse over the frame anyway to click

#

Might do that

pliant lintel
#

stepping to your healer can sometimes save you from having to use something like evasion etc

#

you can easily get 2.4 without target/focus binds but if you're new to pvp or havent set any binds yet why not just do it from day 1 and get used to it it makes gameplay smoother

#

more so having focus 1/2/3 bound not target 1/2/3

outer sky
pliant lintel
#

oh yea i agree

#

but if i could start from scratch i'd rebind all my shit

#

i have some horrible binds

outer sky
outer sky
#

Its huge

pliant lintel
#

ye quick step healer dip on pillar for a sec can win you games if you don't have to burn a defensive

#

or if you're like me a cba waiting for dispel and cloak aggro

outer sky
#

Cloak the root, step>kidney the boomie

cerulean rapids
#

Is there a reason people don’t mouse over frame for a lot of spells?

outer sky
cerulean rapids
#

Haha seems like it would save time rather than setting a focus and clicking a macro you can just mouse over with step kidney

#

Might look into it tonight, doubt you could do it for everything

In midnight it's not gonna have the root break anymore and it goes from 10? To 50%

they're also gaining mobility

losing free bolt/rof every 15 shards spent/ overfiend tied to it is hurting alot

outer sky
#

IMO pvp needs a whole new design approach. Healing needs to be completely gutted. Every healer needs to have their mana nerfed by at least 30%. Most "oh shit!" Buttons need to be removed or put on substantially longer CDs. And healing in general should be nerfed by 20% flat in pvp. The goal would be for the longest games played to not even be 5 minutes and for most games to end in 1-3 minutes. Im so sick of this dynamic where inevitably we get seasons where every game is a 10 minute damp fest that comes down to mana, or where healers aren't allowed to play the game because healing is so powerful that if the healer is free for 2 globals the whole team can be topped. Thats a horrible design for arena

sharp sierra
#

Healers should also all be able to do considerate damage im ngl. All of that is great but if healers can’t have fun or engage besides being healbots there’s no PvP

#

No VW damage ofc

fringe barn
#

healers generally play healers to heal..

outer sky
# sharp sierra Healers should also all be able to do considerate damage im ngl. All of that is ...

Yeah I agree with that. Although I do think that there should be some tradeoff in healing for that damage. That way someone could decide where they want the balance to be between their damage and healing. I actually dont even think VW damage was a problem. The problem was them doing that damage AND as much healing as they were doing. If they did that dam but were struggling to keep their team alive while doing it then I think that's fine

gleaming sentinel
#

Making healing less fun is bad imo

#

I don’t wanna sit 1hr Qs again

outer sky
# gleaming sentinel I don’t wanna sit 1hr Qs again

This is literally the most easily solved problem in the game. Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves for not addressing it.

Healer exclusive transmogs and mounts unlocked after 100, 500, and 1000 wins above 1800, 2100, 2400, and 2700.

Do that and the next day the healers will be the ones sitting 1 hour queues

fringe barn
#

what

sharp sierra
sharp sierra
fringe barn
#

just fix their mmr and they'll q more, healers go 3-3 probably like 80% of their games and if the lobby is lower mmr they get cooked; while being super punished for losing and gaining nothing. that + rewards

#

thats also because of low amount of healers

just ties into it

The topic above touches on a very relevant and sensitive issue for me. Starting this Saturday, I’m planning to switch to a 12-button mouse and play using arena1-2-3 and focus1-2-3 targeting, but my head is a complete tornado right now. I’m so used to my current keybindings that replacing them feels almost impossible. If anyone has time, I’d really appreciate some help. maybe an example of how to organize new bindings using the mouse and what to assign them to. Right now, I play using the keyboard, and practically every useful key is already bound with Shift combinations.

hidden moth
#

i threw round 4

outer sky
#

If you beat arcane/ele/rsham as assa/ret/hpal someone on their team mustve trolled hard af

hidden moth

#

I love how that word is allowed but the non PC word for mentally challenged isnt

#

Anyway

hidden moth
#

i got a message from moroes

Ah lol

#

That dudes always hitting me up

hidden moth

but that "word" may as well be "pussy"

#

lmfao

#

that and eu people say it all the fucking time so SHRUG

#

legit we won round 1

#

ret says who?

#

i say who i think we should focus then rsham replies

#

"dont talk" "training wheel spec" trash player"

#

start of round 2 havnt even played a round with the guy

outer sky
#

So ill never say any match is unwinnable but of all the rounds you lost, the most winnable of them would have been when your team was assa/ele/rsham vs arcane/ret/hpal

#

But its so aids man lol

hidden moth
#

and was being ran through like a diddy party

#

everyones daamge feels so high rn even outside of cds

hidden moth

i legit had to keep trying to play for restealths and feel halfway useless

#

Id probably try and force a bubble then blow up a pally with ascendance

hidden moth
#

truye

outer sky
# hidden moth truye

Cuz like you should be able to get a bubble pretty easily. Most likely the ret's because the hpal will get sancd

#

But if you stun the ret he cant magic bop

#

So if he doesn't have trinket he has to either bubble or regular bop

hidden moth
#

chasing me los of his heal

#

on other side of map as well

If he regular bops it should be insta purged because you have 2 shamans that game
