Can’t wait to CC every two minutes in PvP

It’s an exaggeration brother lol

I don't mind it

Lines up with CDs better

gleaming sentinel

Makes it easier for an idiot like me

Also true

After them reducing cheap shot, they should have at least give us the one second back on kidney

You are just insane.

#

I'm sending my last few games outlaw since I picked up engine finish my Assa gearing

#

Pray to God Assa is as stupid proof as you all make it sound

gleaming sentinel
#

Idk if it’s stupid proof, it just has a very obvious win condition

#

Outlaw not as obvious

dark kernel
#

That's because outlaw doing damage is a literal coin flip and assassination is guaranteed

gleaming sentinel
#

And kingsbane just slaps

#

Any tips on what I should use my level 80 boost on? I bought Midnight last week and still haven't used it

dark kernel
#

i dont know

lime oar
#

what don’t you have as an 80

#

more simple, what 80’s do you already have

icy crystal
#

For assass are you all running deadly poison instead of wound poison when running the shiv talent that applies healing reduction? It doesn't look like the healing reduction stacks so not clear to me if it's worth it to keep up the wound poison reduction between shiv's vs the extra dmg from deadly poison in the burst window

potent pivot

#

esp bc ur using shiv during kb window to buff its damage more

#

what specc would you guys recommend for 2's with a healer?

dark moon
#

What class are you playing?

opal tide
#

rogue + any healer

dark moon
#

Assa fatebound kingsbane build

#

Or outlaw if you enjoy it

opal tide
#

do they perform similar?

dark moon
#

Can't tell, haven't touched outlaw since shadowlands

#

Just seeing the ladder there are outlaw rogues between all the assa, but mainly it's assa

opal tide
#

alright, just plan on going for 2.1 for the mogs so guess assa will be fine

#

thanks, appreciate it

dark moon
#

You're welcome. Do tell how it goes, cause I bet it's enjoyable

#

Less stops than 3s etc

guess the hardest part will be finding someone who wants to play with someone that hasn't played since df s1

I finally sent my first game after hitting like 2100 and ate a 0-6 to a ret paladin who didnt know how to use half his defensives, like actually didnt use them the entire lobby

#

IRL

#

I finally have run it back to 2100 but im picking up assa to play

#

fuck it

grave basin
#

assa is fun when you yolo crit kingsbane into crit envenom

#

and kill from 70%

dark kernel
#

it is so stupid because my gear is nowhere even near correct yet but im getting close

#

but its just like "oh that person is 50% hp they are just dead"

#

and then theya re

grave basin
#

i feel the same as ww

#

can just log like unholy dk and play worse and get better results

dark kernel
#

the only issue im having

#

is a lot of assa guide stuff is outdated

#

so im piecing together some stuff

#

like I dont know our current best combo, I think I got it

#

for 1 shots

grave basin
#

not really

nothing changed since the first few weeks

He just like me fr

dark moon
# grave basin of course

i know its too much tinfoil hat, but i swear sometimes it feels like im facing counters on every char queue shuffle with

cause I can get easy kills when someone's at or below 50% and just cold blood kingsbane into next round

gleaming sentinel

#

dont take it too hard

grave basin
#

and there's a "new" build

#

petkick linked it to me and i went from 2.1 to 2.2 insta

grave basin
#

i think inevitable end is the the reverse funnel one

#

envenom does more dam if it hits no one else

#

destiny defined i have no idea

dark moon
#

one makes your cold blood affect two envenoms, the other spends cold blood for kingsbane

lime oar
#

just tried it on dummies and ngl i like destiny defined more as well

hidden moth
#

Tbh its not the

#

Guarantee crit if envenom that’s good it’s the fact it guarantees 2 x edge case flips

Would yall reccomend assassination or sub for pairing with ret in 2s. I main sub in pve.

Either is fine assa is a big more cc via garrote silence but both would be fine

idk why it has to be 80 man

#

30 would be enough

lime oar

just gotta play more

#

i had like a 1000 marks at one point, i know people probably have ungodly amounts just from playing so much over the years

dark moon
# hollow stratus idk why it has to be 80 man

i played some shuffle in df cause i didnt have a guild to raid with, and got a lot of elite sets + was using my resto druid to farm conquest for alts and i had 2k marks in less than a season i think

dark moon
#

oh, thats why 80 marks is a lot for you

hollow stratus
#

yes

dark moon
#

another way is the arathi comp stomp brawl

#

that you fight the computer and win under 5 minutes

#

its a great way to get exalted with the league of arathor/defilers and get the juicy tabard

hollow stratus
#

but i need to wait for it to be active right

dark moon
#

yes

#

it will become permanent mode in midnight, but im not sure what the rewards will be

gleaming sentinel
#

Imagine if they nerf fire mage / marks hunter and kingsbane on Monday night

dark moon
#

dont care about the first two, but assa will be unplayable

hollow stratus

so basicall there is no easy f ast way to get zo 80 marks

anyway i cant just farm for an hour or so

jolly sierra

I usually do crates till 2500 for weap then fill rest of slots with honor

#

Otherwise it’s 3 1/2 hours to fully cap

jolly sierra
#

i get them on loads via skirmishes

#

or shuffle or blitz

hollow stratus
#

80 marks in 1 hour ?

sharp sierra
#

I will only do that first season when you can buy ah gear. Not gonna sit and get farmed for hours till I have enough to only have honor

#

Oh marks

jolly sierra

nope, but bunch of them

ah ok nice. i'll try that. thanks

potent pivot
#

iirc there's like 2 different addons that can do it similarly, but framesort should be all you need iirc

#

then you just make healer always frame 1 or 3 for example, and the other dps always frame 2, etc

true warren
#

is it the one that sorts gladiusex frames?

#

ah ok i guess so haha

molten hedge
#

You want Dynamic Macros @true warren

It’s a smart addon that automatically uses it on your dps

can anyone help me with framesort macro for tricks? i copied this from the addon to cast tricks automatically on the other DPS but it's a mousover even tho the mouseover macro looks different

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
#FrameSort Frame1
/cast [mod:ctrl,@none][mod:shift,@none][mod:alt,@Player][] Tricks of the Trade

#

should add that frame 1 is my healer but for the sake of testing in skirmish i used frame 1

#

those are the premade macros and supported variables

potent pivot

dynamic macros addon

true warren

ok i'll try. i found framesort discord too right now will ask there

the other DPS part is nice since i won't have to adjust for 2v2 because in 3v3 healer is always frame 1

The fact that people still give them money for things like that is insane

stoic spruce

This convo has been happening for almost 20 years

#

It ain't going anywhere

jaunty mirage
#

It’s the single most requested feature for the game since vanilla, they were always going to find a way to monetize it

dense comet
#

I mean people complain if they gate vanity items behind cash and they complain even more if they gate character power items behind cash

#

So either blizz needs to stop gating anything behind cash to appease those people - and gain nothing in the process - or they can gate some things behind cash so people who want to pay for them are happy and blizz also makes extra money.. not rly a hard decision imo

#

And vanity items for $$ is the way better option

lucid lark
# potent pivot The fact that people still give them money for things like that is insane

I feel the same way, but this opinion isn't going to stop Father of Four who sees a $90 dinosaur and buys it without a second thought, because a $15 sub and the occasional cash shop item is still insanely cheap compared to say, golfing. As many complaints as I have about the ethics of cash shops in a sub game, $15 a month for 20 years is crazy value and I've never felt like I was behind anyone for not buying something.

It does matter though

potent pivot

It doesn’t

And as much as players exist who argue everything needs to be sourced from ingame content, there are players who argue for being able to buy with cash

Instead of transitioning into a more modern business model to bring in new players, they choose to drain as much as they can out of existing players

dense comet
#

Because its free. And wow isnt

#

So thats heading for a non subscription model which is a whole other argument

#

And the most basic rule for business management is to appeal to your existing customers, not potential ones

potent pivot
#

🧢

dense comet
#

And id confidently speculate at least 40% of the existing playerbasr is over 28

#

Its like, why change when their business model is working

potent pivot
#

Because if you never try to bring in new players, you die out

dense comet
#

Well we were talking about vanity items being cash gated which is not even remotely the biggest reason younger gen dont play wow

potent pivot
#

That’s not the only thing I was talking about at all

dense comet
#

If its about competing for new players against free games, then the problem becomes that there is a monthly cost at all

#

And even then they will still avoid it because their characters look like clay figurines

#

And the game has tab targeting system

potent pivot
#

I wouldn’t care about the cash shop stuff if there wasn’t (multiple) box payments and a monthly sub. At that point mtx cosmetics are expected. But you get the point

dense comet
#

But based on whose metric? If its the best earning mmorpg in the world which it probably is ...?

potent pivot
#

Based on the gaming space as a whole

dense comet
#

Yeah I get the point

potent pivot
#

It doesn’t get a free pass just because it’s an mmo

dense comet
#

But frankly blizz is doing this because they can and its working

#

And people have been saying blizz is milking for cash at the cost of the games integrity as far back as cata

potent pivot
#

Because it’s true

dense comet
#

🤷

potent pivot
#

And the playerbase has only gotten smaller and smaller since

dense comet
#

Most games come free backed with a battle pass model, yes. There is a large and wide gap between saying that and also saying that wow should follow that model

#

The playerbase has not grown or shrunk in a linear fashion over time

#

Per expansion yes

potent pivot
#

They’ve kinda already started the beginnings of that in addition to everything else, with the trading post, no?

dense comet
#

Yes but they dont push trading post beind cash

potent pivot
#

They’ve put tenders into cash transactions multiple times have they not

dense comet
#

Which they would if they wanted to "milk" it

#

Only for like deluxe or mythic w.e expansion editions are called I think

potent pivot
#

Don’t think so

#

Pretty positive they’ve added tender onto cosmetic transactions

#

The limited time shit

dense comet
#

Eh maybe i wasnt there to see it. Id personally do that and get it over with than doing 15 pet battles wins vs lvl 1 pets in elwynn

#

Idk, the idea that blizz should scrap their monthly sub model to grab potential customers is just out of touch

#

imo

potent pivot
#

lol

potent pivot
#

I can see why you might think that way

dense comet
#

Its like what i said at the start. They have nothing to gain by appeasing people who advocate nothing being cash gated

#

When there is another solid portion who are ok with vanity items being cash gated and blizz does stand to gain by appeasing to them

#

Its just math

potent pivot
#

I just find it cringe

dense comet
#

I mean whats the alternative other than just flat out demanding that they make less money than they currently do

#

Effectively speaking thats what they are demanding

potent pivot
#

They could easily replace monthly subs with more cosmetics that’d bring in more than the subs

#

But getting rid of a “more reliable” thing like monthly subs is a scary thought for a billion dollar company like them

#

When they can trickle out the cosmetics and still rake it in with less work

dense comet
#

That is at best a debatable opinion that comes with a huge business model shakeup and risk

potent pivot
#

Sure

#

But at the end of the day

#

I think the good of the consumer is more important than the billion dollar company

dense comet
#

Does being the top dog kill a motivation for innovation? Yes. But have they been the top dog for a long time? Also yes.. so 🤷

potent pivot
#

Games been dying for such a long time and I hate that shruge

dense comet
#

I dont really believe the current model is hostile to players..

potent pivot
#

I don’t think they’re even that far ahead of the competition these days

#

Maybe in revenue, but not player count

dense comet
#

i mean.. its vanity stuff

#

You ever play those korean rpgs?

potent pivot
#

Let’s not start the p2w debate lol

dense comet
#

But thats literally what is counted for hostile transaction model

#

wow is not even close

#

I dont even rly know whats hurting "the good of the customer" here

potent pivot
#

You can buy tokens to exchange to gold to exchange for every achievement or item in the game

#

Yet wow players argue wow isn’t p2w

dense comet
#

Lol

#

Are they permanently ahead of people who dont pay?

#

At any point in the season?

#

I mean by that logic even free games are p2w?

#

Token or not real life trading will happen under the table

potent pivot
dense comet
#

And why is it not? Thats the whole reason in game shops have been introduced across the whole industry

potent pivot
#

“If I don’t sell these people meth, someone else will…”

dense comet
#

Ur missing the point

#

I am saying that games dont suddenly turn into p2w just because the transaction shifts from one medium to another

potent pivot
dense comet
#

So.. wow is a p2w game? Well I certainly missed it all these years

#

I am pretty sure i can be on exactly the same footing as anyone else, esp in the part of the game this channel is concerned with. As for pve, sure that bis trinket may not drop after 37 clears but that is the nature of a drop driven rpg

sharp sierra
#

Buying tokens lol ain’t getting ripped off

#

Not my fault they don’t want to combat the gold rmt

potent pivot
dense comet
#

And my point remains the same that even 100% free games cannot escape that, because people exist who are willing to pay under the table. And if that transaction happens on a different medium it makes 0 difference

#

Maybe there is an argument that an ingame transaction platform makes it more "accessible" to p2succeed, but I think its a better evil than not having it

potent pivot
#

So just because some bad actors will do it behind the scenes, it’s okay to add the avenue to do so legitimately?

dense comet
#

That goes down to an argument is what is wrong and right which is ultimately upto the person.. I believe blizz has decided that buying in game carries is legitimate

potent pivot
#

I’m not even fundamentally against the wow token being a thing to be real. But it does add less incentive to make ways for players to make gold in game, and that’s always irked a lot of people.

dense comet
#

But then again, its not just blizz. that question applies to the whole industry

sharp sierra
#

You guys don’t have to say p2w just say Korean mmos OMEGAKEKW

potent pivot
dense comet
#

or mobile games

sharp sierra
#

It’s either p2w or you know what they do with the characters…

#

Like in TERA

dense comet
#

Like bad actors in csgo paying for gun skins even if steam(or valve, w.e) shop platform wasnt a thing

#

That specific point touches on the gaming industry in general and not just blizz

#

Buying masters accnt in league

#

No company can ever eliminate rmt, so they settled for a legitimized platform

potent pivot
#

Sure but not all game companies give legitimacy to those things, not by a long shot

gleaming sentinel
#

I kinda feel like gold buying / bots etc is what just crushes wow classic servers

potent pivot
#

It will never be fully gone, but many of them take action against those things to stop them or punish the people that do them etc

dense comet
#

This argument can be carbon copied to apply to real life debates on what should be legal or not lol

#

Should prostitution be legalized so that its no longer a platform for black money and be brought into legalized standards..

#

Whole countries are divided on those topics so who are we to make the call on videogames 😂

potent pivot
dense comet
#

I mean marijuana

potent pivot
#

We are the consumers

dense comet
#

literal same thing

potent pivot
#

We pay we say ! ! !

dense comet
#

Yeah and im not just being blizz's lapdog but if they had some customers who say dont cash gate anything and other customers who are willing to open their wallets.. 🤔

Majority of the player base are 30+ give or take 25 yr old + dudes…. Why in the flying baked potatoes would your created mythical war fighting character need a house 😒… game is dead needs revival , we add houses… by all means everyone’s entitled to an opinion on the matter, you either spend your time questing , PVE OR PVP or farming mogs / collectives. Now this house has been should’ve in front of the PVE / Just For Fun scene and they are gunna eat that shit up , end product = blizz gets more money milking the game therefore we await the newest xpac to bring and influx of players back to the game to rinse and repeat the same process 🦦….. okay now I’m done

Ngl I don't see how housing is any different to them releasing now mogs, as far as I know nothing is locked behind a pay wall, it's just a case of if you want to mess around with it then have fun, if not then it doesn't affect you at all

noble zodiac
# stiff mesa Ngl I don't see how housing is any different to them releasing now mogs, as far ...

Its already known that there are things for housing you only can get with real money currency. And alone the reason they gave for adding a extra currency is ... pretty bs. Everything they said they need the extra currency for is already achieved with bnet balance.

The extra currency is there the same reason its in nearly all other games. It makes knowing how much something cost harder to grasp. And oh you bought a currency packet with 20k in it? You bought something for 11k and later you want something with 10k cost? Time to buy a new bundle.

Can you play housing with no real money? Yes ofc. Will it make A LOT of money for blizzard? Definitely also yes.

Returning to wow to do some pvp to get the elite set and the enchant from blitz. I was advised to check out murlok for data on builds and meta stuff, but I'm having trouble with subs multipliers and buffs. I really dont want to get too deep into add-ons to track but I feel like I'm going to need to to know when I can maximize a go. Primarily interested in blitz for now, so looking at sin and outlaw as well

potent pivot
#

Usually you farm up honor in the week after the expac launches, because the s1 doesn’t start immediately

Oh yea true ty

That means i can freely transfer honor from my main to alts haha

Entering stealth?

potent pivot
#

the extra cheap shot for sub is not based on 'stealth'

dense comet
#

Ah its vanish or dance

potent pivot
#

indeed

dense comet
#

Not sure if it was always like that

#

I just read the tooltip again

potent pivot
#

pretty sure it was

#

since the first round of changes at least

dense comet
#

What makes you think it will matter less? Pruned ccs?

potent pivot
#

basically all of the damage that was reliant on stealth/vanish is gone

dense comet
#

Less helpful for people who rely on WA alarm to press it?

potent pivot
#

that is why it will matter less

#

the only reason NE feels so mandatory as a rogue rn is because of the amount of extra damage you can squeeze out of it, as assa/outlaw

#

it will still be decent for melding casts, but way less extra damage

dense comet
#

I only speak from subs perspective

potent pivot
#

sub doesn't even want to be NE in the first place really

dense comet
#

Which else race?

potent pivot
#

like it isn't "mandatory" for sub

#

orc, human, etc

dense comet
#

I dont think it is mandatory either, but I also think it will still stay top, maybe slightly less value or not but still top

#

Orc is better only if you are also matching into a rogue but

potent pivot
#

the only reason its "top" for sub is because its so good for assa/outlaw

dense comet
#

In a free environment aka non tourney that is hard to predict

potent pivot
#

so you see the cross over on the trackers

dense comet
#

Im also functionally speaking. Just the ability to dodge a spell and generate full cps on demand

#

It might be less braindead since cheap has a cd though

#

So it may offer less value

potent pivot
#

yeh

dense comet
#

Bring back relent trinket and ill stay human forever

potent pivot
#

i really think even rn sub is a good 'play w/e race you want' spec

#

the different races provide so little to it

dense comet
#

This is definitely the season where meld matters least for sub

#

Having no subt to chain off of it

#

Honestly so many people will fail to utilize its full value in midnight when they dont have a WA displaying screen sized stormbolt icon when its flying to them

#

Ez mode is prob go orc

Why does it hurt us?

I mean apart from the fact that wr have 1 less finisher

#

I hope sub does more dmg and we can focus on the game rather than rotation ala 2 button classes kekw

But ultimately I'm sad where the class is headed

which loa is good right now for a zandalari sub rogue?

those 3 sound good but there's a 5 days CD on switching.

Embracing Bwonsamdi gives you Embrace of Bwonsamdi, giving your damaging abilities a chance to deal additional shadow damage, and heal you for 100% of the damage dealt.

Embracing Kimbul gives you Embrace of Kimbul, giving your damaging abilities a chance to make your target bleed for 6 seconds. This ability can stack up to 3 times.

Embracing Pa'ku you Embrace of Pa'ku, giving your damaging abilities a chance to grant you 4% Critical Strike chance.
