this was before i was playing with that six bullet up my sleeve 
And also back then hunter misdirect didnt redirect threat from the hunters pet and only BM was considered viable so their misdirect was basically useless. Rogue tricks was wanted for aggro and for cheesing mob mechanics
lmaooo figure some of the builds were not updated right
id be okay dropping loaded dice for that audcity ig but idk about losing prep or blade rush when 2 set with give it more damage
for the HO talent just doesnt seem worth but idk maybe its hitting hard
When we dueling?
for testing fun stuff
lmaooo id be down tomorrow
geared sub first in case theres zero outlaw buffs and sub magically makes it through so finishing uop honor farm tomorrow
it feels good to press but damage ain't there tbh. i wanna test more outlaw tomorrow. finish lvling my hunt then lvl my OG Rogue (4th Midnight Rogue) 
Holy shit I got curious so I went back and looked and it was even worse than I thought
For keys level 20+ in BFA S2 and S3 Outlaw was the single most popular spec in the game, including all roles. Melee, ranged, healer, tank

that was a tuning thing was it not'
ppl ran triple outlaw in a bfa season
wasn't becasue of "utility"
In season 2. Their damage took a shit. In the other seasons it was utility
It was still utility in s2
They just also had high damage
So you could run 3 and be fine
That stupid maggot in underrot
Only outlaw could keep it from casting on its own so you'd have to babysit it the whole time
You'd learn the fancy shroud where you have to sap dudes in stealth during the shroud
In temple of seth
Vanish mechanics like in Kings Rest to dispel the fear adds and not pull every mob
Locking down the one shotting goblins in Motherlode
The biggest things were shroud and being able to solo lock down a mob.
I mean Iām new to outlaw anyways so not like I got rep to say whatās bad but idk I like blade rush and prep/KS. donāt really wanna drop it lmao
This is pretty much like top end players right?
Nah 20s weren't that high
I was doing 27s
Which was really high
Probably r1 range if they had it back then
20s were like
Weekly keys on a bad week
For us
I was cracked in M+ in bfa
pretty spot on, wouldnt want to drop bR or Prep def a meme choice dropping prep
Br is a nice gap closer and it does decent damage rn plus if times right in rotation you wont get energy starved too much. Ks is nice but its heavily nerfed and still has 3 min cd, i can see dropping that for something diff but not in all cases
Playing the class with the highest utility was kinda nice and kinda shit at the same time because on 1 hand I could always find groups but on the other hand I had to handle all the sweat mechanics. And also since only outlaw could solo lock down mobs I HAD to play outlaw even though I didn't like it
And if you fucked up a utility mechanic you just felt like shit
Screwed up the shroud, failed whatever 200 IQ strat the tank was trying to do with tricks
Got caught on global and let a mob cast
Wiped everyone
Like basically if the key failed it was always your fault
Everyone else just did damage
In fact outlaws utility was so busted in bfa that it would finish the key at 2/3rds the dps of the fire mage and BM hunter and was STILL brought to every group
But thats not exactly "fun"
Idk man Iāve always been a raging alt swapper with rogue always being home and prepatch was the first time I ever tried outlaw and itās the first spec i genuinely fell in love with rotation wise. I have no idea why I feel like I can track the million buffs and could care less what Iām proccing with sub lol
I really hope they do something with it. Even if itās just a flat out damage buff across the board
In prepatch I landed a grappling hook across the map to chase a kill and did a BTE mid grapple and that got me hooked lmao
They need to buff the HO/ambush talents
I miss the multi hit ambushes that shit was slick
unpopular opinion, they need to bring uhuh and crackshot back

The playstyle was fun but also awkward. Outlaw being reliant on vanish for damage is weird
it was! u get a cheap you get a cheap everyone gets a cheap and bte
felt unstoppable once you got the rotation down. a true outlaw underhanded tactics tricking the enemy with dirty plays 
I didnt like that. You had to choose between damage and CC
Which is fine in general but when you only have a brief window it feels bad
vanish came back so often never felt like it was a choice tbh the ace refunds were hitting, s3 was the best time with tier set, had some real burst with coins. also being nelf just made it so much easier for goes/ mini burst cc lockdowns.
It was a choice every vanish
S2
S3 was easily the worst version of crackshot outlaw
Get this garbage out of this server
damn you must hate sub then

you have to choose !
In some weird way having only 2 cheap shots makes it feel less bad. Especially with high dance up time. I do my 2 stuns thats it. You dont need to try and triple stun the whole team
What was the CD of vanish usually with restless blades?
Like 1m?
And crankshot was 6s?
About 15
15s crackshot?
40s vanish?
Yeah
And crackshot window was 6s every vanish?
Ok I only played it in DF
You didn't miss out
But say 8s every 40s to do damage.
And during it you have to choose between damage and CC
Vs 2 shadow dances on a 20s CD each
Its just not comparable
You didn't lose as much DMG CCing as much as people thought
You lost some sure but you could still keep up
While CCing
Idk how the sims looked. But im sure for most people playing it, that definitely felt bad from a player experience perspective
Not S3 though, DMG was just so bad it didn't matter. Which, btw, it's never been that bad.
You did dmg during KS but that was it
But maybe not idk because honestly you, vancleef, verm, and servo are probably like half of all the outlaw players still maining it
Maybe Mewo
They'd say the same thing
Im sure
But the first two seasons it could maintain CC and dmg
S3 just had no dmg to sustain 
Imma go out on a limb and say it'll never be that bad again. Last season was purely an anomaly
Just skewing data fr
It still doesnt seem like it has any damage. Idk maybe the very few outlaw rogues ive queued into this pre-season were just trash but I couldnt believe how not scary they were
It was quite literally the worst it's ever been
Idk, I'm walking people down fine
Not fmage though
Not yet ...
Its skirms so they could easily just be bad but man they did nothing
A good outlaw is few and far between yeah
I haven't ran into a good DK in a very long time
Assa*
Idk why it said dk
DK too
Whats funny is
Theres so many sub rogues rn
And I can tell
So easily
Who's a fotm reroller
And who's played the class for a while
Whatās the method for farming honor on horde nowadays? Been constantly losing random bgs since War Within release, gets so old. Tempted to swap alliance
training grounds
they made comp stomp a permanent game mode and renamed it
Woah. Are the honor gains comparable to 50% win rate random bg?
its the fastest way to farm honor
~400 per game, ~1min queues, games don't take long
will only speed up as the season goes on and we get more gear
Really appreciate the info ā¤ļø
hi guys, I wanted to ask if anyone had good resources or advice on how to make outlaw work well in arenas? been having a hard time finding content or guides about how to be successful with it. it's one of my favorite specs in the game
Define "well"
I'd like to know what I should be prioritizing to get better damage output on single targets
I've been working on getting my full pvp set so I can actually be viable and not fall over but I'm noticing my damage is quite poor compared to the other players
so I've been able to survive now in a 3s skirm multiple minutes, but my damage is suffering a lot and i know we could be closing out faster if i knew better what to do
Outlaw is a slow burn spec. Youre playing for mana
and are other outlaw players preferring fatebound or trickster?
I see, I can envision that
Idrk how to help without a vod but what build are you running
you just play mostly for survival, good cc's and big goes when the moment is right?
i was trying something like this out
Wouldn't call it a burst
There are some changes you can make that'll make a noticable difference
i've only been able to dabble with fatebound mostly and that feels good but it was not working for me in a pvp environment
and i heard trickster was helpful for being sturdier
but idk if it plays super different
Not really the case anymore
Apparently people play KS but I've yet to find any use of it
Feels like I'm just wasting GCDs
Move 1 ace to Find an Opening
If this is for arenas FB is your best bet
im also not used to using killing spree and it feels kinda bad? and easy for people to interrupt you
It is bad
yeah i really enjoy arenas the most
ya my tree broke and i had to figure out what to do, i did just that haha
find an opening does sound like a solid choice
would you say everything else looks ok?
You don't have loaded dice
I'm trying to remember where you'd get the point for it
Send me your updated tree
i switched to FB also but lmk if any of these should be changed
i think its just my FB pve talents i use
Oh yeah deft
would you mind telling me what a typical opener is for an arena setting?
cause ive heard a variety of things
but they dont feel good lol
You don't really have an opener, you just kinda go in
After you sap ofc
So adr, RtB, sap, dispatch, bte
And then your regular build and spend rules until game over
ok so dont even bother with cheapshots or kidneys at start?
just go in and maybe pop a feint in case they try to stop you hard
Sap + cheaps+kidney lol
I should've been specific that's my b
"cheaps" you only get 1 cheap
right
sap heal, cheap off target, open main
its better to dispatch first for SND or kidney to keep them still?
Luckily stopping outlaw hard isn't a thing anymore since you can't really stop people from doing their regular rotation which is what outlaw does 99% of the time
Kidney
Dispatching first is asking for trouble
thought so
You're just giving them time to react since you have to build as well
someone was saying ADR > SND > RTB > sap > open is what i should do before, is that bad?
Naw, that's essentially the same thing
You'll just have to build before kidney
Sinister Strike specifically
do you pop prep right after ADR wears off and you put blade rush and bte on cd?
I think that's still up in the air
Some people do it differently
I like to do it for at least adr and br unless bte is about to come off CD in the next global
is prep effected by our CDR of combo points spent?
No
aw, that'd be sick lol
Itd be interesting for sure
You have your builder/spender rules down?
FB you dispatch at 5+
Bte 6+ obv
yeah I played FB while I leveled and when i've been doing pve content so it feels really good to use
i hadnt gotten to spend much time on learning how trickster's nuances worked
There aren't any, it got moved to FB with spending dispatch at 5cp
All trickster does is add KS to your rotation
were people using full combo points on KS? or was it primarily a short combo point spent just to initiate the debuffs applied to the opponent for extra dmg
im guessing you really only use it once you know they blew their cc's or they couldn't trinket a kidney or something to defend themselves
Got depressed reading this
What hero tree is outlaw even playing?
Well I've yet to have trickster do more than FB
Bro lol
Not to be dramatic but
Talking about assa and outlaw right now feels like talking about your pet right after it died
Oh god I hope they fix this
That was amazing to read
Sometimes I wonder what it would actually take to get me to reroll
Probably if they ever get rid of smoke bomb that would be the nail in the coffin for me
Yeah it was awesome
I preferred it that way too
But a lot of people hated it
Because "im always rerolling buffs and never doing damage"
š assa was so much fun last expansion. Sure the AOE garrote was too much, but couldnāt they give outlaw and assa a free cheap shot on vanish like sub on dance?! Itās so horrible
Yeah that talent needs to be made baseline or go to the rogue class tree
With kidney 30s cd and no vanish cd reduction outlaw is pretty much dead. Reroll sub like everyone else.
Yeah outlaw got gutted real good
Personally I like that they got rid of crackshot, but they should tune it similar to SL s4 outlaw, without the crazy CDR ofc but that it has more brawler gameplay without being just a worse fotm melee
I really liked that pvp talent outlaw used to have. Enduring Brawler. That was well designed i thought.
It is
Unless you're saying to flat out buff outlaw
In which I agree
I am fine with playing sub this expansion but I feel they are just one dmg nerf away from being nearly useless out of RMP and then we are sitting there without options
However I will always say buff outlaw even if it is egregiously OP
This. They have to buff the dmg imo
It's very middle of the pack rn but at the lower in pve so I'd def expect buffs
It's the only spec left that can do setups. Even with lower damage sub will be extremely good.
The whole idea of outlaw is its supposed to be the rogue spec that can stay in the fight. But these days its probably less tanky than sub. Can't peel people off as well and has a nerfed feint wall lol
I think with every spec being reworked we're due for a pvp talent overhaul
Demo can do setups good enough, it has crazy ton of CC for whatever reason
Eventually
Im sure he meant rogue spec
Yeah thatās true. I would like to see assa being good against casters and outlaw being good into melee cleaves
Idk i think this whole "assa has a silence therefore its anti caster" thing is overstated. Like, if assa plays into a caster cleave, the silence is nice but it doesnt make it "good into casters" because a good caster cleave can 40 yard triangle the assa rogue which is going to make it hard to multi dot which will make energy regen a lot slower. Also depending on how bleed damage is tuned, sometimes your pressure comes from spread pressure. Its not like that now but it has been in recent seasons. A garrote and rupture on 1 target isn't scary. But it can be on 3. Try getting that done vs a 3 caster team
Those things I think generally eclipse the advantage of having a silence tied to a 2m CD like vanish
Give outlaw AoE parry that applies to teammates
Holy shit blizz hire me
Wait wait
I got another
Drink up me hearties
But good

Can that even be good? It would have to copy like 100% of vials affect onto allies lol
I also didn't realize they totally removed vanish from restless blades effect
I thought they just nerfed it
And they nerfed hook
Fuck lol
I already don't feel the hook nerf
I actually forget until someone brings it up lol
I was playing skirms and BGs with verm a couple days ago and I saw him use hook and I thought I was lagging
I just dont get it
Its not like it was THAT fast to begin with
Its a mobility cooldown its supposed to get you somewhere quickly
Normally when they do stuff like this they add different stuff in the following expac. I just hate we have to have this for an entire expac before we start getting the good stuff.
I'm not really worried personally
Just sucks for the time being
None of you outlaw mains are. Verm and vancleef are optimistic too. I have to wonder if its because yall are just so used to your spec being bad that you've just gotten over it
Which is fine if so
I could stand to adopt that mentality myself
There's a pattern of them doing a big culling and then adding stuff next expac
Nothing to do with outlaw
When was the last time they did this?
Wod
That was a while ago lol
I dont think the legion>bfa pruning was anywhere near as heavy handed as this
No but the wod one is comparable
Make shiv apply slow, get rid of the heave crippling poison slow, make mind-numbing stronger on assa like curse of tongues, give assa sprint freedom back. And then it could have a niche there. Give shadow dance to every rogue spec (longer cd on outlaw and assa), just one vanish charge
I'm just saying we get new stuff every single time
Frankly it's long overdue tbh
Should've had this in DF
We also understand Outlaw is historically a support spec and when it actually does really good damage, it's probably not intended.
I don't think any of us actually expect it's dmg to be good
See the issue here is that this culling coincided with the addon restrictions. They want to make things "more accessible" which i fear they'll interpret as "less stuff in your kit". Not to mention, lets be real here. What are the most played specs in the game? Ret pally, BM hunter, braindead mind numbing crap with Fisher Price rotations. Ive said this before: if I owned a restaurant and 70% of my customers ordered the same 2 items off the menu, then you'd better believe id be looking to see how I can make my other dishes as popular as those. And im afraid theyre looking at these depthless idiot proof specs and their relative popularity and thinking the same thing.
I'm picking up what you're putting down
However I don't think it'll stay like this forever
They've been talking about this addon thing for manyyyyy years
I'm actually surprised they went through with it
Now I ain't saying we'll go back to a tww era of spec design but I can def see them adding more as time goes on.
Im trying to think of what they could do to make assa and outlaw good specs that doesnt involve giving them more CC because blizzard has been clawing away at CC and specifically rogue CC since shadowlands and I just dont see them reversing course on that.
Ironically sub gained CC since SL
But who's shocked by that
Also
Maybe we don't gain CC at all and are given something else
Or
We're lowkey doomed and have to pay for our sins
God I hate Sub
Assa and sub both gained gouge. Sub and assa gained disarm if we want to call that CC. But otherwise all 3 specs have lost a ton of CC. At least up until midnight where sub got such a short CD on shadow dance that it feels
8s blind and kidney getting capped at 5 combo points
And I think sap used to be 8s as well but I could be wrong about that
Yeah it did
5s kidney is still the longest stun I'm pretty sure. Idk I feel like that one didn't really amount to much in the grand scheme of things.
The blind one sucked though
On the receiving end of blind saps though I get it
Idk i loved 7s kidney lol
Oh
And of course
Kidney CD increased by 50%
When you add it all up its a lot
50% longer kidney CD, 2s shorter kidney duration, 3s shorter blind, 2s shorter sap
I think the kidney stuff is fine but really the blind is annoying
Idk
They have this bipolar relationship with mico CCs
Try to reduce them but make even more?
Id be okay with the duration staying 5s but I really want the CD increase reverted
Ya know I still spam my kidney keybind early because over like 8 years i developed like this internal timer to know when kidney is off CD and I havent overridden that yet
I don't 
But yeah I dont see us ever getting CC back and idk what else would fix these specs
I mean MAYBE make assa's hemotoxin as powerful as sharpened blade?
Is that fried?
It should be as powerful
When it first came out it was a 40% ms not 30 but thats when assa still has 7s kidney and vendetta and I guess it was just too much
7s against a rogue is a very long time
I think a full blown sharpened blade style MS would be fine for this iteration of assa
Yeah
But tie it to kingsbane not shiv since shiv is trash
And outlaw gets float back :)
Outlaw needs more than that
Nah, it should stay a live lord mid dmg spec
Did you read the Dragonball Super Manga by any chance?
No
So vegeta gets a new form
Called Ultra Ego
In the recent chapter
And the whole idea is
The more damage he takes in that form
The stronger he gets
Thats how I envision outlaw
Hmmm
Idkkkk
@spring bough I need you to tell me what to think
Because like
With this version of outlaw, we don't heal a lot
What am I thinking about why is there so much to read
I wish outlaw was like ultra instinct lmao
Ultra instinct has WW monk vibes
Ultra ego is way more outlaw
First of all give back enduring brawler. That fit outlaw perfectly. 2nd, add a mechanic or talent or whatever where you do more damage the lower hp you are and you get another damage bonus if you take more than X% of your hp in damage in one hit stacking up to X times
Idk im spitballing here
Well
EB we're already at if we go FB
But
One thing to note is that bte is a stacking buff now and that adds a good amount of freedom for gameplay
Idk
Im just trying to think of how to improve the spec without turning it into a warrior spec
I feel this outlaw is so close to being really really good
Gl with that lol
The idea of "ok i can try and kill this guy but if i dont finish him and hes super low hp he may one shot me" is interesting at least
"Dont cleave the outlaw he'll do more damage"
I feel like that's more warrior than rogue tbh
Since warrior has a similar talent already
I think Fury
Good cook tho
Not like it matters lol
Real
And also true
They'll add their own spin next expac and it'll be alright at best
Alright at best and unplayable at worst lol
Sub mentioned lesgooo

@potent pivot https://x.com/ellesmeregaming/status/2030974073988120591?s=46&t=YKaisWqFkCTf8y-DfuEaHw
Over a bar texture LMFAO
Its been assa meta for 5 years buddy
Right
Im sure pikaboo just willingly rerolled to feral and didnt play his sub rog
Cause he didnt know
yeah

Sub is gonna be busted for week 1 of the season then everyoneās gonna complain about blizz the rest of the season. Calling it now
The nerf hammer is looming lmao
Sv hunter about to get the fattest buffs
Nah take demo with you out back
as well as rets and mages
and demo yeah
good shout
I dont wanna hear JACK from any of those
Keep dreaming
Outlaw and DH all the way nerfs or not
Van
20% to boomstick 20% to bomb 10% to raptor
No we donāt lmao
Shits doing 40-50% of my overall in dungeons even with nerfs š

Devourer and demo lock who???
The superior brawler reigns supreme
Fuck a WW
We gonna clean their clocks
Do they have stealth or vanish? Nah then we win
Ww has util? Lmaoooooooo
I have been playing outlaw exclusively since S3 Shadowlands and I think it's really bad. But sub feels so good right now I'm not even mad.
What one aoe stun every 5 business days?
on top of your 0
Yea one stun
Donāt you have something like a blind too
Dps Warriors have 2 and battle shout and aoe silence
When did battle shout CC??
Yeah I feel rogues are even worse for mythics now
Choice node with piercing howl though which is a nerf in pvp
Is it even worth doing, i havent done one
Might need more gear than that š
Been knocking out all the low hanging achievements
We never wiped except once and it was all PuGs. The only hard dungeon is murder row
217 to 227 ilvl
(I'm still in half honor gear 
Might try and do this tmr morn
How are the specs in PvP?
Was thinking about going Sin because dot + apex Kingsbane sounds fun for a burst. I primarily do BGs, so I plan to spend an ungodly amount of time on SR, so.
Trying to figure out which spec to commit.
Come back on the 17th

Man it's too bad the racial is so bad for haranir because you can make them look amazing (like vampires!):
Its good their racials are dog
More racials need to be gutted so we can be free from combat advantages
That's cute
they just need to move racials to a PVP racial tree (one major two minor like old school glyphs), leave actual racials to unique armor sets, housing shit, etc
then I could be a gigantic vampire rogue
Thats equally as bad
no you are
??
Cause not everyone is orc or dwarf?
Facing hpal evoker ret triple dwarf
Yea ok
just remove all racials and make races cosmetic
i am fkn tired of night elves and dwarves
I would miss haymaker but willing to sacrifice it š
So make it like glyphs like I said - can't swap per round/instance.. just take the race part out, would also even out factions a lot more because we wouldn't have 65% of PVP be NE
racials are super fun, I wouldn't want to see them gone entirely; but it's also dumb to have round-breakingly powerful ones next to... one where you cook food quickly
Do you remember Arcane Torrent aoe silencing? Nerfed to the ground, but somehow Meld still in it“s prime for multiple seasons in a row.
Chris Metzen, confirmed Night Elf IRL
He may be the Orc voice, but heās Nelf player for sure
meld is still peak because is both a stealth gate and a target los
just make it work like it was pre lich
and done, you fuck it up and can still exist properly lol
Play sub you don't need meld
High mountain is actually so good
i will
they fucked up my deathstalker
no reason to play assa anymore
No reason to play deathstalker it's ass
it was good in TWW
they fucked it up cuz bugs
and blizz doesnt gives a fuck about rogues so
You want more haste if you're going to drop tea
It's jusr fucked because we cannot auto change targets and it's completely ass to keep us semi-target locked
Like I cannot blow a dance to clear my mark to move to another target on a swap or I lose a bunch of damage and utility
The juggling is just unfeasible
But to be honest I do not mind the easier spec being better
Also I wanna fite someone lol
want the problem in that hero talent deathstalker mark itself not working as intended?
I think dropping tea is pretty troll though
its kinda just too op
for how energy starved outlaw is
Is what Iāve been doing. I move deft to combat stamina sometimes. I play around with that point
calamity no longer in rotation lmao noo @potent pivot @outer sky
Yeah apparently it rotates daily or something
yo kings which is the best spec for world pvp?
looks like it
at 87, pulling the entire map no rested xp i got 5%
Sub is the only spec for any kind of pvp
ty king
personally, id go sub for pvp. the kingsbane apex for burst is nice and its a 1min cd, but it really has issues with energy and garrote is bugged and not giving the correct amount of combo points when used.
any good pvp streamer or guide to watch?
I think i remember you from RBGs
been quite a while since ive done RBGs
Whaazz, Nahj
How long is a while? If its not you then its another rogue by the exact same name
You may be thinking of siccarius which is not me. he streams on twitch
i get this a lot
yeah but it also had 1 min cd in season 3 tww and worked fine š
Does he do 10 man RBGs?
possibly. i think the last time i did rbgs was in SL or maybe DF.
really havent done them since solo shuffle
i dont really follow siccarius
he's just an imposter with two c's
š
Is he good
from what I hear yeah
Thanks! Will give it a shot!
Any recommendations for Talents or can I just stick with Veins page?
CUQAByFP3pExAEG41/8+e6b8fDgZ2mBAAAAAmtZmZZiZZbmxMjZgZmZmlxsMmZssMzMYmxAmxAAAAwwMsZWmxsNDjFGMz20CtNbMzAzMDmxA is what im using
seems solid
Appreciate
np
first room was 4% full map was definitely like 7-8% even tho my mage was 89
to the ring is still infinitely faster tho
I actually like what you got going on the rogue tree a lot, Iāll have to try that out later.
Not having thistle tea really sucks
Call me an outlaw lover
And I like the supercharger talent a lot
You and me both
Is it pretty normal for us to only put one point into ace?
And I saw you donāt bother taking gouge. I feel like I needed it at times to either get someone off me for a sec or at least slow down peoplesā go on my teammates if I didnāt have something.
Outlaw only has one too
@stoic spruce thanks for the help last night by the way. Sorry I kinda ghosted. Didnāt realize how late I was staying up and I had to sleep like 3 hrs before going to work lol.
@stoic spruce big meanie
One ace always
2/2 ace gives what 4cp back instead of 2ā¦.. not needed
Still need to build after BTE resets anyways
F gouge. Also would rather have 5 second blind than a shorter duration one
Man I really gotta say goodbye to my Reshii Wraps? I love the proc š
focusing iris also gone... sad day for dopamine
True š well i like assa
oh my god halazzi enchants 30k, I am not built for this
u are watching too soon
Theyāll come down in a few weeks
Iām just buying cheap stuff for now then upgrading it all later
even looking at enchants in the AH is confusing...all the TWW stuff looks like it works but then it doesn't actually, the ilevels all over the place.. am I just dumb, what happened
I feel like maybe I got old and dumb, but maybe I am missing something
@potent pivot You're definitely right. Running the full apex nodes feels 10x better
There's no way kalv is right about that
proccing coup>full stacks of flawless form>sectec
feels so good
Just sort it by current expansion. Best option on the AH
Was that ever a question?
Kalvish doesn't theory craft anything til live pretty much
Yeah he did some testing and officially recommended not running the last apex node
Ancient arts? LMAO HOW
It's like the second best node
Just looking at the entire rest of the tree there's nothing even close in terms of power I don't know how he came to that conclusion
Oh I see what happened, for some reason the weapons are actually.. in the finger spot on the AH; that's why I can't see any of them
Yeah itās weird. Thereās also new helm and shoulder enchants too
still super confusing that higher ilevel enchants are older; how is someone supposed to know what to get
We poverty enchants still insanely expensive
everything is looks like is actually in the finger section... small indie company... there's some cheap stuff, just not weapons
Ahh that blows. I got a 240 dagger bro! Guess I'll sit on it
holy crap awesome
lol I am so sad at this.. Crystalline Radiance is +49 Agility for 600g...Mark of the Worldsoul is +50 Agility for... 30,000g
but cannot apply to midnight gear
Okay. I read this and I feel like I understand where he's coming from but it also feels like he flat out just ignores the auto combo bar refresh and he's over focused on the ghost damage cloning portion too
Like there are times we don't have to waste a global building in the go window and just eviscerate, alone that makes up for the talent.
I don't know how he can justify dark brew now. We don't even have rupture pad.
I guess clone pad but he just talked about how bad clone damage was, so him investing more talents in clone damage is kind of weird
I wonder if Halazzi at least benefits from +bleed talents
He isnāt using the apex talent, right? Absolutely crazy to me
actually... pretty much all the enchants kinda suck, nothing seems amazing, so guess I'll wait.. thank you everyone for going through this with me
Just the very last node, ancient arts
Yeah even so still insane
His logic is not bad, but it's just his logic is focused on prioritizing it rather than just letting it exist
And I think he's over focused on that
I don't see a world where there's any better talent choice., I especially don't see a world war blizzard let's there be an unused Apex talent
Letās not use the new talents that are each 5% dps or so per point
I wouldn't put this past them
Theyve made some really shitty capstones
also
theyre designing everything for pve
so its entirely possible that they could make every apex node good for pve but not necessarily pvp
If even 1 class doesnāt use an apex node I would consider that a complete failure on blizzard
it's no longer calamity story today š
I'm queueing rogue/mage 2s skirms and weve killed this same MM hunter 3x in a row each time with him doing 0 damage, all because he's not human and isnt playing trinket so he has no way out of a stun. And he literally just rage whispered me. Like, he's not playing trinket or human into sub/fire RM and he thinks the issue is the game balance. What a meme. I'd post the whispers here but they contain language that cant be shared in this discord
XD
my heavens, that last talent for everyone... lvl 90 BGs are an absolute shit-show lol
just blur the banneable slurs
we wanna read, and fkn deserved for him who tf complains by playing a class with a 80% slow uptime
Doesn't the human fucking racial remove stuns
do we have a datamined list of all the pvp WQ gear rewards?
It's just a 3 minute CD
glad I just farmed honor while leveling, it's hilariously bad... last few BGs, every one has 2 GDs and 2-3 MWs each.. nothing dies, everything just mosh pits in mid
yes
it's like a NIN music video
i lost against bots days ago
That's why I use the AI battlegrounds and hate your life
im already capped, just playing for fun and doing ok all things considered, but man there is some funky shit... priests have double fear now? a fear so powerful, it can withstand a literal nuclear bomb without breaking
Sargeras stabbing an entire planet with a sword - priest fear? would not break
ā¦ā¦ā¦ 
Do they? Is it shadow?
How. Or better yet. Why?
Thatās gotta be pure love of the game idek
russian premate in enemy team
Do you sometimes take airborne irritant? What points in that build you showed me are like āflex optionsā if you wanted to shift around
Pairing airborne irritant x blinding powder decent?
I donāt take it anymore after they nerfed the cooldown reduction and then they also removed the AoE
@potent pivot But Kalvish said the sky is orange what are we talking about!!!!
I think he misunderstood how it works tbh
He spoke as though you would get the same amount of finishers inside of a dance window with or without the last apex node.
Which just isnāt true
I want to say Iāve even had 3 procs in 1 dance window
Yeah only thing I didnāt like was it felt like I couldnāt use them all
It was too many freebies š
Like during your stuns
But it is nice to have
Or you do a finisher, get full combo pts for free and can use it on a kidney or something on someone else
Theres exceptions to every rule
Maybe Kalvish makes it work. But it feels better to have FREE finishers on deck lol
Like you donāt always need someone in a stun to kill as long as healers ccd. And sometimes even when heās not depending on comp
Itās just a lot of damage left on the table
And free energy
I think so too.
I have as well l
Itāll feel super good in Later seasons with more mastery
If they would just fix DS or coup global
If you play other classes, you might suspect thatās not always the case
Lots of hero trees left untouched
One example is Druid of the claw. No ferals play it
Problem is I think theyāre still using it in pve
Because itās only an issue on very particular bosses
But I heard wiping in m+ means no mark too so idk
Whispyr seems to think they wonāt change it, because theyāve basically tripled down on its design as a debuff with the latest change that borked it.
I mean tbh as long as they keep DS power scaling fine then so be it. It would be dog shit if they over buff it to force it's use like they sometimes do
Well I donāt think Deathmark being a debuff fits thematically 
Well blizzard disagrees. Lets see who's opinion ends up mattering more
FUCK
Of course. Shit they could have left it like TWW
I was making instant ramen and I dropped the pot and spilled boiling water all over my left hand
fucking hell
That's actual shit dude
I got a hot oil burn on mine years ago
I swear to God. Get aloe or wound care ointmint and wear a glove over it
We are so close to season start
What to do till thenā¦. Level more characters? lol
level 3 or 4 and then farm honor so you can gear up asap
Coloplast Triad Hydrophilic wound Dressing
Already have 2 fully honor geared characters lol
what language is this
Pig Latin?
@molten hedge there's an even better pot 
Buy it off amazon
800g
Flasks are stupidly priced and every time I check the AH they are hundreds gold different
Messing around with pvp a little during preseason, you canāt macro the pvp damage pot, pvp on use trinket and SB together?
I go like 10 vers flasks for 2000g
the silver rank of light's potential are cheap
pvp damage pot?
I also just made bank selling these pyrium weapon chains
the battleground shit?
Saltwater potion
Only usable in unrated BGs
you should be able to macro all of that together just fine
Fuck I need one
It feels so good
Yeah Iām just messing around in unrated bgs, but maybe something is wrong with my macro
We can still use em on offhand right?
yessir
its bugged though. You cant transmog off the enchant glow
what is main stats for Sub rogue pvp ?
haste up to ~600 then mastery
this is subject to change but as of right now this looks the most promising
thank you š i just needed a direction while buying my first few pvp items š
Does this work in rated 
no lol
its a pve pot
works in wpvp
Ik lmao. Iām always craving that one season where something sneaks by
it's basically +50% dps
Remember the fang embellish season? That was a fun ride
We got half duration disarms. I say take what we can get
Is that enchant still working??? No hotfix yet??
Yep still working
Not for long
Gonna be week 1 and a bunch of forum posts about āwhy does rogue not have a full disarmā
This doesnt just work for rogues
Anyone can use it
Ik but we are gonna get singled out per usual
W/e let em cry
Im gunna ride this as far as it'll take me
If it works in this season somehow but not in subsequent seasons I'll literally keep my season 1 off hand for the entire xpac
I haven't checked since i just hit 90 last night, where is the pvp vendor in silvermoon
Towards the bottom left of the map. Theres a red circle
There's an icon on the map
Conquest quartermaster
are my retail lads seeing sub expired on launcher
most of the classic guild is seeing it but we all able to log in
yeah lol
Anyone know if there's a Platynator setting to show class colours
Try the jundies profile import that sets it up
Try this
Just tried it then but not having class colours
where
Outdoor pvp
you have to go to settings
ahh gotcha
u have to pick a diff drop down on the 2nd menu there too ithink
I saw that one but it was like quadruple the price on my realm for some reason but thatās juiced
ye its cuz its the bis pve pot, the rank 2 is cheap tho
i'm surprised ppl are going to use it over the light's potential cuz the bis one spawns aoe puddles u have to dodge lmao
It hits you hard if you donāt dodge? @potent pivot
not sure, but it silences you 
To The ring Live Hot Fixed Nerf
gg boys
wish i woulda got on earlier, now the long grind to lvl last alt
You get better results?
Ur mom big
nooo meanie
I only got to play a couple before I shutdown but they did feel much better. Ill be playing around with it more tonight when Iām home from work
what a bitch lol
YEAH even the cheap ones worse than honor
HOW TF LOL
what a prick
imagine getting mad for a png
What a meanie
apparently ellesmere and the guy already resolved the issue
even like that i think they would be in very rough terms xd
Sounds like he got mad cause ellese name dropped him š
Meant to send this last night. This is what my no life ass was doing in just 1 season of BFA LOL
Probably could have got higher but as you can see i started refusing to play outlaw and be a mindless utility bot so I just stopped getting invited to groups
This is an interesting view ...
Currently many apex talents are broken and unused. I have been playing as rdruid/guardian, mistweaver, sub rogue and hunter so far ... and besides hunter every apex talent is broken/unused š
Sub apex: doesn't copy full ability, just first hit
Guardian apex: actually nerfs your damage - maybe since the second tier is bugged
rdruid: I think it works, but people often forego it in PvE
MW: Doesn't proc spiritfont/soothing mist as listed
MM: I think this one works? have only played it today so it might also be useless like the rest.
And these are all the specs I have tried so far ^^
Surely blizzard will fix, right? 3 months of beta should take care of stuff like that š
Blizz really really sits on a lot of bugs for a while. Actual major expansion talents I 100% do not see being bugged
Like they will get MAJOR shit for that
I almost don't even want them to fix sub's. It feels fine as it is. If they fix it then that's a buff. If it gets buffed from here it'll get nerfed into the ground. I say we keep our heads down and hope they don't both nerf us AND not fix the apex talents
I expect a pretty substantial patch note list for next week. Pages
This is a concern as well
Patch notes next week:
Fixed sub rogues apex talent: can now only be procced of eviscerate since cdg/ST breaks it.
...
Also 50% nerf to shadowstrike damage to get it more in line with our expectations.
And dance CD increased to 30 to allow for more planning in between burst.
He can just change the tga and be done with it.
I don't know if I have faith in their ability to fix the Apex talents.
They have had all of alpha, 3-4 months of beta and the game has now been live for 2 weeks.
Maybe they will fix it all next week, since it is a core feature of the expansion.
But ... how many of the hero talents ended up being unused/broken? And they have had YEARS to fix those.
More so tuning telemetry. They āturn onāan interaction ā> shows cascade exceeding performance measurements they set ā> reductions occur as causality.
Ex: Nightstalker in DF. MN beta Coins recently reduxed and base damage increased . Class tuning notes reducing volatility and compensation by smoothing etc seen across multiple specializations / classes.
sub has always had shadow clone bugs
who woulda thunk that adding more shadow clone shit wouldn't work perfectly
I knew when they made sub a Naruto cosplay spec that it wouldn't turn out well
Pyrium
exploit early exploit often
Idk how that even happened tbh
Like last season it required ilvl 50 or under gear
They could have just
Not done anything to it
How does it get scaled up to 320 ilvl lol
Weird things happen when doing a level and stat squish
@potent pivot if subterfuge is the way, should i have gone night elf? for pvp ?
Thereās a lot of weird stuff like that I bet
Nah
You mostly go subterfuge to get to double vanish not because you need it
Its nice
But nothing amazing
Do you know how to make the icons on your raid frames smaller?
how to turn these class badges off
If only we had 20 years to sort out all our addons and UIs
Then we wouldn't have to deal with this shit in 2026
Its the slider in Auras
Thanks man
The trinket is fine. I just use my raid frames to see the hp of my teammates and that big icon makes it hard to tell how fucked they are
makes sense
Go into the settings for the addon that puts them there lol
š
If I post ui shit itās prolly gonna be after season starts
Thereās just so many
We need an ellesmereUI for pvp
I tried the skillcapped UI. Its decent
I stopped using it
But it wasnt bad
If someone wants to clean things up
i used the free version as a base to customize off of in tww
i just hate paid addon shit
leveling a survival hunter next... i just dont know what race to do it as
Orc
i have a dark iron dwarf, human, nelf and orc
100%
1% pet dam and shorter stuns
Thats what mine is
Dont regret it for a second
And blood fury is a 3.6% damage increase
I macro it to Takedown
So every other Takedown is buffed by it
heroic dungeon finder amazes me
"STACK THE GREEN" and every1 runs in opposite directions lmaoooo
what do they do the second time around? same shit
so much for that 1gig internet
yeah the second i finished my Prey thing ive been dcing non stop at least i got to finish it i guess

dced AGAIN
just go one by one and set it up lol
At least you dont need that Netherwalk icon
gotta be a better way
i need a myslot for addons
yeah... all 20 addons definitely have profiles
i need something so CDM has the same setup between alts of the same class
like every hunter i go to its all diff lol
cdr?
cooldown manager
so im reading up on survival hunters....
seems like dual wield is the way to go
especially for pack leader
i just import luxthos' profiles for CDM, CMC, etc. then customize them on my own from there. but i have to do it for each class over and over
the delve spam trick isn't up today
as well
just spam dungeons and do campaign quests in between ques
thats what im about to do for this survival hunt lol
80->81 kill bees in outside of Dorn
tbh just look at the leveling thread
it explains the fastest route
this delve has to be on the Calamity story variant for the delve trick
setting up my DH ui bricked my rogue's ui
i cba
lmao did the same on devour trying to fix cast bar
logged back into my rogue and realized i swapped everything around
forgetting to make profile
i re imported a Sensei profile and it reset my rogue's
now it won't go back how i had it either i'm gonna lose my shit lmao 
@potent pivot You around? Shadowguard is out of the rotation and I need help with the ring leveling thing
good morning rogues what are we complaining about today
Damn bro u worked so hard to get your rog done smh
And I never will 
I understand dw
Can the honor gained get any lower??? Holy fuck lmao
Not even gonna be pushing 200 honor a win with that š
Itāll be 150-200 now smh
Gross and no one wants new 40 man for epics
good. its training grounds
Canāt wait to have that everyone now
go play against players lol
Trust me blizzards bots are better than half of the wow pvp community
Lowkey maybe 75%
Oh wait it can stay human form in combat now š„
Might have to do one for outlaw the double jump kinda sick ngl
you missed it? supposedly they hotfixed it
hey hotfixed it???????????????????????
Blizz is the no fun league
So how do I level without the Shadowguard cheese???????????????????????????
hows outlaw looking for pvp?
Ik bro
Thank god my Druids are at 88 and I havenāt done delved
Pls @ me when calamity is back up š
Idk if thatās ever dropped for me but I mightāve auto sold it
just have to buy it for 7500 honor
Ohh ok
The problem is. They made the training ground so good that there was no reason to actually play regular BGs. It was straight up more viable.
And I still have to gear 3 whole alts lol
So trust me I'll miss it
Lookin and feeling good
hmm i dont have full pvp set yet
Is it actually. I need the build still
should i buy the recipe first or the gear.. lmao
Time will tell once the season starts and we get gear and sets
Fortunately outlawed sub kind of share items now
who cares though honestly
they actually dealing damage now or what?
I probably did 2-3 training grounds to gear out rest was epic bg and random bg
Yeah itās chunking ngl
Get haste to a good point and it feels nice
Dispatch, pistol, BTE, auto attacks all hitting for a good amount

I will check after work here in a few minutes then
