mage
what
MM. I really wanted to play survival but i feel like it does no damage. Gonna try bm at some point too^^
rets complaining man
I wonder if DHs bitch about rogues as much as rogues bitch ab rets đ¤Ł
Does anything even counter ret?
Double ret
Ret + Outlaw counters Double Ret
Never have
The only group that complains more are actual rets when you accuse them of being overpowered
If housing is out of the picture whatâs the biggest new feature of midnight lol
a laggy bg
pvp is #2 baby!
these are the people whining to nerf rogues. UDK and Dev DH lost the 2v1 to me. Neither of them did more than 50k damage. I did 1m damage
How
Did one afk, like how 50k dmg only
Thatâs like when I look at scoreboard when we losing a BG and see an UHDK with 300k dmg 5 mins in - how
thats a healer DH!
What addon is this
I step>sapped the DH, opened the DK, he used IBF, so I vanished, waited DRs, resapped the DH, reopened the DK, DK trinkets, I evasion so he cant death strike off me, DH trinkets the sap, I blind him, finish the DK, vanish again, wait for dance, open the DH who has no trinket and kill him since I still had cloak and my trinket
Arena Analytics
Is the 6 chapter campaign war of light thing necessary for pvp n stuff
don't think so
Nice
Mage prob more than anything
Moreso in a 1v1 situation
I played some ret. It wasnât the funnest to me
Dh
Does it work out of the box now or do you still have to change the files?
You donât want to know what their discord is like lmao
Feels good
I get unhinged in here and Iâm on the tame side for the dh discord
Lmao
Looks like 100% of rogues are on the same page now đ
Prey? Supposedly
No idea why he thought it wouldnât be good anyways
works out of the box
How?
holy shit healers are overtuned right now
Everything else is solved for now
Stats, talents, etc
Now for enchants and tier set
We prolly just copy pve wep enchants
1 rendorei 1 mastery
1x1 apparently means itâs more likely youâll have 1 up for burst
what are we crafting day 1 of season 1 for sub pvp? Jewelry again like in TWW?
Probably yeah. The problem is going to be figuring out what exactly to buy with haste on it
Because of tier set and only wanting a very specific amount of haste
are we leaning more haste/vers or vers/mastery?
There's a limit to haste
18%?
Ya
so haste/vers to 18% haste then vers/mastery
Isn't Shadow Dance like 8s baseline without haste?
This has been in the leveling thread for days already

What's the haste scaling for its duration at?
Wdym
The talent that increases Shadow Dance duration, what's the rate for it?
600-700 haste (~18%) gets you 7.2-7.4 seconds of dance which is 8 globals
The extra margin helps if you clip a global or because of Coup cast time etc
is there somewhere i can see recoimmended sub talents for pvp?
I recall somewhere around 40% was the breakpoint where Apex talent was 24/7 up
prepatch builds?
Should be updated to include preseason builds
Check the updated date at the bottom
I just forgot to change the title

Season 3 is going to feel cracked on sub
maybe season 3 lol
Truuuu
Enhance helps with apex too doesnât it
Enh buff gives sub like 8% dps
Itâs nutty
tyty
is it still vers/mastery prio?
He doesn't know it's an Outlaw season, season 3.
rip i messedup my honor gear
Nbd, itâs honor gear after all
At least you know before starting to get conq gear 
honestly true
Make sure you're looking at your stats with the pvp scaling
.................
I WASNT DOING THAT
Lol
Hit a pvp dummy
just buy more
hmm is this the wrong dummy?
That should be right
@potent pivot do you know whats up there?
Isn't there some weird new scaling in pvp combat
That scales up non pvp gear too?
Lil piss cleave?
Doesnât even work
Silver moon dummies donât scale you LOL
you have to go into a skirm or BG or Dornogal dummies
Or the wpvp zone maybe
Thatâs only in BGs and maybe skirms afaik
Like instanced pvp
I donât think pve gear scales in wpvp or for pvp dummies at all idk
They did it last expansion too
For rogue? Assa
Guardian Druid 
LOOOOOOL
Multi dollar company
Makes it very annoying when Valeera has threat
I just vanish and reopen with AoE just as she's about to die
then kill all the mobs while shes "unconcious"
its actually faster and easier than dealing with the mobs being split
what makes 18% haste so important?
Haste now makes Dance longer through the talent Deepening Shadows and base haste now shortens Secret Techniqueâs CD
18% gets you 8 globals per Dance
I can assure you that is a you problem
Assa blows that shit up 
Yes but you have to hit CT a lot
When that many mobs
Heâs trying assa
He may have haste gear. Prob doesnât hit right with low mastery
Yeah it was more about sub is the better delve spec
I did good as assa
True but I did too tbh
it can be fine but it was just about whats better
I have a friend that is excited to play assa this ssn. He got glad pretty easily playing dev assa last ssn
Idk if Iâd even say sub is better
While leveling assa blows shit up so easily
you mass pull and nuke it all in your blades windows
But tbf dev has stuns that assa misses now so it seems like it would work
then go do objectives while valeera tanks it
90% of non boss mobs didnt live to the sectech clones hitting for me
while leveling
Are we even talking about doing the actual delves
I thought he was spamming shadowguard
Lmao
yeah sub has more aoe
âŚ
Ye
bp spam just fucks
unless you're weird and not talented into things like potent powder
or playing deathstalker for some god forsaken reason
So does sudden demise 
Is the calamity rotation up today in NA
@molten hedge
I bet it is cuz Iâve got work today 
Law bgs going up(81-89)

leveling in midnight seems boring
idk how people have it in them to level multiple characters already
this weekly dungeon quest that gives 1k rep is awesome
Lmao I didnât check but good to know itâs up. Man idk if I can cba to lvl today. I have 5 90s
I multiclass and play alts. Also I have multiple accounts so I donât have to sit long queues. Other benefits as well
Ahhh shuffle life pain
Itâs also cool to use to farm mogs and boost alts. I have a 3rd account I activate at the beginning or end of the season to âboostâ 2 alts at a time myself for free
@potent pivot any insight on if i should replace the bigger pieces for haste first b4 the smaller ones? ex (helm vs wrists)
Doesnât really matter what order you replace stuff
The only reason you buy stuff in a particular order to at the beginning of gearing is based on the dps increase per slots, wep, trinket, then agi, etc
Youâve already got all those main things covered I assume, so just replace stuff until you hit the haste threshold, just replace any non mastery pieces first
If youâve got any crit stuff for example
i replaced all the crit things but now i gota decide between the mastery/vers stuff
i guess ill just go down the line from helm til i hit 18% đ
Doing the cheaper stuff first might be quicker ig
Giga honor
getting 200k + collapsing star crits in random dungeons with the DH lol
if only that could translate to rated when it starts lol
Not necessarily no
You get more shadow tech procs
best campaign since bfa imo
leveling is actually fun for once
am i pressing my inputs too slowly? i try to fit . cheapshot > sd> secret > ss >evis > cheapshot but i cant fit the 2nd cheapshot
b4 the first runs out
Cheap shot lasts 4s
1 global is 1s
So 4 globals
Per cheap
Should be able to fit it
But its tight
i thought a bit more haste would help since going from 5% to 14% has made the combo a bit less tight
but i could be going crazy and imagining it
More likely this
Also
For your rotation
Swap evisc and secret technique
Evisc first
Depends on if the target is iirc woe if u proc Coup
Meant to reply to this^
does coup take longer to hit?
Haste doesnât effect the GCD on rogues
o okk
Yeah
ahh
Yeah coup is a 1.2s global
no wonderrr
RIP the good old times of outlaw double coup cause of the 0.8s global with ADR.... ill miss it
if your against an orc you have to hold a global after your 2nd ss and then do your 2nd finisher after
Is that only when you have coup
No
Oh I usually tech first whys that wrong? Iâm sure itâs some talent Iâm forgetting
Iirc you used to have to proc deeper daggers
But not anymore
In his example he must be opening from stealth becasue hes using cheap shot into a finisher which means premed gave him full combo points. That means the target hasn't been Fazed yet so you need to shadowstrike to apply Fazed. That makes them take 8% more damage from you and since sectec is the only think that we have that does any damage you definitely want fazed applied before pressing that
So it should be cheap>dance>evisc>shadowstrike (Fazes target)>sectec
On another note
Im so sick of these people
For every sub post we need to make 10 other posts
Theyâre prob 1500
if a warlock presses dark pact you legit dont even break their shield unless u have blades lol
in full gear
I dont even always break it with blades
I have always hated going locks as rog ngl
That or 1m
pressable while stun
Unless itâs in shuffle and I have a zug zug with me
Its supposed to be balanced by the fact that if youre not high hp when you use it its useless
ahh makes sense, gotta try catch em in the sutn combo when their a bit lower already
Iirc youâre always supposed to evis first
@spring bough 
Killing it
rracked up 7k honor 
Ik you did for sure previous seasons because you wanted to proc deeper daggers or something but I forgot about the fazed thing
Im pretty sure its the only class with 2 defensives that can be pressed while stunned besides paladin
Which ofc has 3
I talked to nahj about this same thing last night and I donât remember the reasoning he gave
I remember bringing up coup->sec tech when he said evis->tech because coup will give you full FF stacks
And he said uptime on FF is already so high that it isnât really a factor
So it doesnât really matter except for the opener if u tech or evisc first
No
The target should be fazed before you sectec thatd the biggest thing. Otherwise it doesnt matter
I also highly recommend tracking your flawless form stacks
Because if you have coup available
And sectec
You wouldnt want to have 5 FF stacks
Not know it
And press coup
Then waste the 5 stacks you get from it
They dont get consumed by finishing moves but if youre gunna refresh the 5 stack you may as well do it when theyre as close to expiring as possible
To keep as much uptime as you can on the 5 stack buff
Like ive had it many times where I have coup, sectec, and 5 FF stacks but the stacks are about to fall off so I sectec then rebuild points then coup and refresh them
If you stack haste up to 40% by season three, you can get 9.6 long dance, which means every global in a 30s period in a row can be during dance!
Then you wait 3 sec and BAM! 90% uptime.

yep, that + they can axe toss your go while stunned to lol, which is probably the most tilting
Dont forget succubus sleep
Thatâs the voidstorm PvP area rep
Has rewards and stuff at the vendors and a ton of quests to do
dont see the vendors unfort
They should be at slayers rise w the quest givers
found it thx
is there any cheap wep enchants we can toss on our weps for pvp? (wondering specifically for a mage)
all the new ones are to pricey to waste on honor gear
Question for alliance players who queue Random Battleground often, what would you say is your win rate? Win more than lose or?
Win more
Thereâs last expansionâs enchants but tbh I donât even find those worth using
The only consumable Iâve really been using is this expansionâs low tier dps pot for wpvp/BGs
They dont work
Because itâs an insane amount of main stat
They made sure last expansions shit doesnât work but weapon chains do? 
nice thing is, gems / ring enchant t1 are super cheap, i wonder if conquest jewlery will come with the free gem slots aswell
Yep!
They will
All jewelry does now
Maybe a second slot of jewelry? Not even sure tbh
I seen 2nd jewelry slots avail
Yeah I feel like Iâve seen pve gear proc with 2
Probably
Lose more
what should i prio on the rogue after i hit 18% haste, more versa or more mastery, im thinkin mastery
for like gems/enchants etc
leveld my vulp before my undead lol
what am I DOING??
I take bits too far sometimes
Fresh 90! Missing 3 off pieces 
that shell trinket lowkey op lol
it really is 
pally bubble? ok i bubble too 
which?
dont remember the name but it gives agility stat and an absorbtion shield for 1 min long, i was lucky to get one at 81 with 207 ilvl 300K+ absorb shield
tank trinket for druid im guessing
Mastery yeah but itâs debatable whether or not you want to run mastery engi pieces for example
I'm thinking not. Gotta remember our great caster overlords lost some tools to help peel for us between goes
when i first saw that trinket i was lowkey wondering if it was decent to use in pvp since the shield is so big, but its prob not worth losing the 2 trinket bonus of stam/main stat
but its literally like wearing 10 battlemaster trinkets at the same time lol
pve only
im new to rogue kings, whats the big pumper sub bgs/solo build
Same build as in the pins
oh damn didnt see it was updated, tyvm
does solo shuffle 1600 count for catalyst rating next week? or do you need to get 1600s in 2s etc
It does
ty ty
btw im stacking full haste as assa and my energy regen doesnt seem too bad anymore
Great you'll have a full bar of energy while tickling the enemy team and getting ran down
booooooooooo
Assa burst isnât bad ngl
2026 assa year of vindication
It needs to be a lot better than "not bad"
Hey hey you guys had a whole expansion of fun
kings bane burst?
my kingy-b is doing crazy dam
one epic bg win
whats "burst"? - Outlaw
Weird, I just lost one and got 762

damn thats it?
I think blizz hates you big dawg
Just cancel your sub tbh
My Smoke Too Tough. My Swag Too Different
assa feels fine in BGs; think it'll suffer if you don't push on your first go as once you're out of tea and waiting on Deathmark to come back, you're on your heels for 2 minutes
(for arena that is)
I know everyone says it's bad, but I really prefer Outlaw Trickster.
i am noticing a bug
i just had 607k hp in an arena lol
but its supposed to be 505k
im not sure why that happened
what about it do you prefer
I kinda enjoy Killing Spree. Plus I just feel like I do a little more DMG on it.
yeah I wish new KS didnt hit random targets
I agree!!!! Would be so amazing if it just hit your target.
not sure what the fuck they were thinking with that one
I'm sure they had PVE in mind. AOE spam on M+
Wait, seriously??
yep
its not an aoe
its a single target
that hits random targets
its the worst of both worlds essentially
Question then: If I am soloing a guy, and he is the only one around, he will take all the shots right?
yeah
man, if you get a full garrote and rupture on someone, toss on that deathmark into KS and hit them with the Implacable Kingsbane, you actually kind of melt people
kind of like if feral frenzy and old killing spree had a baby
whats KS on assa?
kidney shot
oh
because I run sudden demise, the implacable hits with the fat bleeds pushes them into instant execute super fast
yea it can deff kill in a kidney during its burst i think
caught a bunch of healers tonight who thought they could just sit the stun before CHOPCHOPCHOP to 35% and then...
have they added whitelist/blacklist to nameplates yet for debuffs?
Itâs stupid fun when hitting prep and doing 2 KSâs
But I just swapped back to fb andâŚthe dispatch damage is crazy lmao
neat
Small indie company
Apparently the dummies scale now
At work so canât test but also apparently they donât scale with modifiers lmao
Immediately thought of this

Dispatch hitting like a noodle for me
On FB over Trickster
dispatch just hits like a noodle
hey everyone, anyone having problems with targeting in BGs? since the new name template i am having problem, and also at dungeons
you dont know who is ur team and who is against u
@potent pivot @spring bough might grab and say fuck it
man i can't get over how expensive shit has gotten
i would highly recommend checking out DDR4 RAM though maybe, its legit like -50% or more in price
oh wait you can't use ddr4/ddr5 interchangably can you
you have to get whatever the motherboard requires? 
yeah am4 ddr4 am5 ddr5
was debating looking at the price if i should just get x3d cpu for am4 and put off the am5 build till next year or later if the x3d cpu is best and noticeable for gaming
is there a way i can make it like before?? and the names appear in red, like before?
they do scale your gear now, and as far as i can tell your talents as well. dummies have never been good at scaling ALL talent/spell modifiers which is partially why they are so unreliable to use for testing purposes
can you give an example screenshot of the issue
Do the boxes from BGs have a chance to give a PvP crafting recipe?
they did last expansion so i assume so
Yes they drop. Sold a couple for 50k
Im not sure how they were before, cause i haven't played with friendly nameplates
guys do youj know about addon similiar to Big Debuffs? Big Debuffs is constantly giving me lua errors
minicc
gonna give it a try, thanks
Lvl 35 Valeera takes a while to level xD
atleast 12 green curio tokens equal 1 entire delve run
87500 XP for lvl 36 >.>
I was trying the shadowguard spam on my dh
Kinda felt like I needed meta to do it properly which slowed it down a fair bit
Could be from it being in tww s2 gear as well tho
which spec is easiest for a noob in pvp to do solid in?
New addiction found for Outlaw
Trickshot kill someone while grappling away using 20 stack Zero-In Between the Eyes crit
lots of dunking on wow rn, but i have to say slayer's rise is a banger
i like the bg and the zone a lot
Itâs good that they made same faction attackable in certain areas bc thereâs not enough horde to go around lol
Lmao doing that in prepatch is what got me hooked on outlaw
Well the 400 of you grouped are scared to do 1v1s

talking facing away
mid grapple, 360 no scope em
wtf can you do that
Yea
How are you comfortably getting 20 stacks I feel like I gotta watch my health bar go to zero before I even see 15 đ
Jackpot
I was on my orc đŤ
Week 2 we unlocking catalyst unbound achieve lol
Actually crazy that we can get catalyst drops when we get that achievement đĽ
Aye
Btw this Pickaxe is giving mad Finesse lol
Its even Finessing its Finesse
Huh
Is that for next week?
Iâm saying if you get tier from regular raid and can get the set early it could help out with catalyzing PvP gear earlier than we have before
Yeah okay
As long as you get the catalyst drops from stuff
Should be able to get four set with PvP ilvl way sooner
To max vault
I mean week 1 is 2/4
Get a drop from raid and vault and then boom catalyze conquest gear right after if u get charge drops
So would have to run some pve content for chances at the charges
I wonder if the charges can drop from PvP stuff
Yes when u get the achievement unlocked
Okay, so getting 1600 before we do ANY content is priority
If that sounds right
They dropped in season 3 of TWW but it was time gated for later in the season
This achieve will unlock it right away
I guess yeah so u can get a cata charge and get 2/4 early
The pro move is to get 1600-1800 early and just chill on that cr for a few months
Get some healthy mmr gains
Honestly, while you are correct I think really just pushing as high as feasibly possible as early as possible
Especially if you are rogue because we always get the two week Nerf bat we never get the buff
So you're kind of hurting yourself by not playing
Iâm not letting what happened to me in season 3 happen again lol
2380 week one then we got hotfixed and just tanked after that
Had to get elite in blitz on the rogue đ
outlaw gonna get a buff if anything
That fucking sesson
Pissed me off so much
Hope so
And I was so sick, that I did a 2400 push as assa THE LAST WEEK
And I was so fucking stressed
Because I had to learn that spec while pushing
Not gonna lie Iâm still 50/50 on starting with Devourer or outlaw lol
Devourer just shitting dmg right now
Iâm actually liking the Devourer rotation of chasing as many collapsing stars as u can get off
The fact it can crit for 250k + is insane lol
It's too bad Aug isn't in a fantastic state right now because if you like Devo you'd love the play of Aug - it allows so many clutch plays, feels very outlaw/combat'y
Last time I played aug or devo was back in dragon flight when it was OP lol
there's a group of us who seem to get the same itch... outlaw, surv, devourer, enh, aug sits in there big time
When aug was doing more dmg than most dps lol
it was only for short 4-5 seconds periods followed by aggressively kiting and lining while saying 'o shit o shit o shit he comin' but it was fun
i always felt like balance largely meant everyone roughly puts the same output out if played well..if the ceiling is say 12M in a BG, good dps are 10M dmg 2M healing, a good tank likely 6/6, a good healer likely 2M and 10M. Feels crazy when you do 10M dmg, 2M healing, and then the disc is like "time for 8M dmg and 10M healing"
maybe that's just my smooth brain thinking, but feels like that's how it should largely work
whaazz talking about hearing mvq is making addons he'll only be giving to his homies đ
imb4 M+ Vault rewards ilvl 289 set piece
What u doing 12s week one lol
Or 10s I guess unlock it on vault it so shouldnât be too bad
Yeah 10s week one shouldnât be bad at all honestly
Yeee
Bout to ask AI to recreate it 
wdym
Cause mvq addon all AI slop isnât it lol
ya but supposedly it won't be public or streamed
Isnât there gonna be 3 AOTC? Or is it only gonna be one lol
Prob 3 lol
Time to get the mass report bots ready LMAO
Blacklist all addons from PvP 
Pls not my MiniCC
people will just backdoor them sharing on the back end
btw im ready to start doing Trickshots in PvP
What you mean
I feel like this whole 3 tier release raid is just them being lazy
Cant be bothered anymore to design the whole raid all at once
Mid Grapple Between the Eyes
Bring on the clips lol
An extra week so they can fix and tweak March on Quel raid đ
?
they've done this before
And it was lazy
Anyone use an add-on that puts our combo points over our targets nameplate?
Platynator has that option
any nameplate addon tbh
betterblizzplates, platynator, etc
Thanks!
Platy the đ
Im punching air rn
I just pulled it off
and I wasn't recording
Imagine casting Between the Eyes
Pistol out forward
Grappling away from the target
And the bullet goes the opposite direction
From where your grappling to
Thats what I did
Funny asf canât wait to see a clip
Itâs 11am lmao
What is it exactly?
Essentially I'm trying to condense the damage of 2 Between the Eyes into a far smaller time frame
Since Between the Eyes now has a projectile attack
does it really?
bout damn time
It was a change they made to BTE in Midnight
BTE now has a projectile
If you can manipulate the 1st by going away via Grapple Hook and do a BTE after a grapple
You can take advantage in the animation lock delay of BTE's launch
And the travel time to fire off a 2nd BTE when you land
Assuming Ace or Gravedigger proc
And this is more condensed damage than if you were to do your rotation normally
Thats odd because I thought Dispatch was supposed to hit harder as Trickster because of Coupe De Grace?
RIP to the 30 yard dispatches during crack shots đ
Fatebound just better all around. Fatebound also most likely using 2/2 dispatcher making dispatch stronger
You talking about the Talent Summarily Dispatch?
I am running that as well as KS
Are u not running prep or KIR then?
And are u running heavy hitter / the one below it
Yes I am running Heavy HItter
Find an opening*
I am not runing Find an Opening
Your dispatch probably a bit higher than fatebound if you got 2/2 summarily then. Feels like fate gets more dispatches off from what Iâve played tho
Fate usually finishes 5 on dispatch and idk just kinda pumps out dmg lol
Nice
woah, a BG with four assa rogues; what is happening
I want to know who "everyone" was that Trickz thought was enough to run KS
and put it in the build in the pins
Is the build in the pins fatebound?
yeah lol
wait fatebound is being recommended to run kspree đ°
in pve its literally a dps loss to even press the spell if u talent it as fatebound
i cannot imagine pvp suddenly makes it more reasonable when its even easier to have cancelled in pvp
in pve waow omigawd
theres a disclaimer so
i mean thats the base damage of the spell right
if its costing more dps then just pressing a normal finisher and some builders
đ¤
I will never take KS for PvP
obviously its not 1:1
the reason ks is ass is its just ass tho
did they add some pvp mods to it
no
none of you have my secret hidden leak knowledge so
oh shit
Whatever it is KS as fatebound is absolutely dog shit
Oh we posting cheese builds now?
the bte thing is more interesting an idea but i feel like it would be easier to pull off by starting from 30 yards away, bteing with gravedigger ready, then grappling in as u cast it to recast the proc
I can RP as Sub
Yeah ight Iâll keep dreaming lmao
I lowkey wouldnt be surprised
at least in pve, its tuned so badly the only reason trickster takes it and presses is because it procs ur hidden blades
im 90% certain that if u talent it as fatebound, and press it, its a dps loss to press beyond the dps loss u took for talenting it
because its just worse then a finisher and 2 builders woulda been
2/2 summarily better than 1/2 and taking KS for fatebound by far
it really should have gotten some pvp talent to empower it somehow in pvp when they reworked it last expac ngl
they cut a bunch of outlaws pvp talents already, theres definitly room
making you cc proof during it, making u 100% dodge during it (like FoF parry), stuff like that
If you did it once and are upset it wasnt recording then that means its probably not reliable enough to count on during games lol
actually my grapple idea would only work with fast grapple prob, the projectile from BtE is pretty fast
rip fast grapple
Imagine playing outlaw rogue trying to make it not bad by manipulating projectile travel times with grappling hook when you could just play ret paladin instead and global someone from across the map with 2 buttons while completely immune to all damage and CC
oh to be clear i am not going to be focusing on pvp on my rogue (which i only really play outlaw on) this expac because the changes to the spec from a pvp PoV seem godawful
if i wanted to play a dps bot I'd pick something like that like u said
i was just musing on the funny idea of a double BtE instant hit for big damage
Yeah outlaw and assa are basically leather warriors
they obliterated outlaws toolkit so much I cannot imagine it being a real spec in pvp unless it just does very good damage bot damage
which they could easily do, I just dont wanna play that
Whenever outlaw does good damage it gets nerfed becasue its damage profile usually isnt burst its just an unending onslaught of heavy steady cleave damage
And then when sub does good damage it gets nerfed because its too bursty with too much CC
Assa is really the only rogue spec blizzard seems to be comfortable with doing high damage for a whole season
itll be interesting to see, sub is a more reasonable spec to allow to have good damage with cheap shot having a dedicated CD
subs control has definitly been reduced quite a bit (everyones i guess i should say really)
Have you played it?
Im guessing not
no i have not, did they not reduce its cc like the changes made it sound?
they havent done any real tuning for this expac yet (pvp or pve) the stuff on beta was all very early and untested tuning so I'm not taking any numbers in the game super seriously rn
I know the changes make it sound that way but in practice the increased shadow dance uptime and the shorter time between DR resets gave it more CC than its ever had before
but each window is shorter or no?
In the past as sub sometimes id want to stun somebody but I couldn't. That NEVER happens now
Yeah 6s instead of 7
oh wait do you guys have a way to bypass the 15s cheap shot cd
Sub has a talent where every time you vanish or shadow dance cheap shot ignores its cooldown
So you get 2
But you can stack that. So like you can dance, cheap shot somebody, then vanish and double cheap somebody else
And ofc theres still kidney
i see so the 15s Cheap cd was more aimed at outlaw and sin ig
Its 12s not 15
And yeah its borderline irrelevant for sub
funny cause outlaw basically lost its access to cheap shot anyway but not it has a cd on top of that. i guess it doesnt really matter since you only get 1 cheap shot every ~2m as outlaw
And as sin
yea idk if they run double charge vanish or not but I'd imagine not
Cheap shot is basically a storm bolt tied to a 2m cd
While anyone will tell you im the last person to put my faith in blizzard, I think this cheap shot change is actually so unbalanced that blizzard will be forced to address it
Because its basically impossible for there to ever be a rogue spec played in pvp besides sub now. Numbers tuning wont even matter much
I just hope they fix it by buffing assa and outlaw and not by gutting sub too

Those arent tuning notes
We get tuning notes Fridays and/or Mondays
So expect something tomorrow
And rogues will 1000000% be hit
Guess we got the weekend to level a backup option đ
no this is next mini-patch notes
Yes
It's specifically NOT balance notes
For tuesday
We won't have any tomorrow.
But yes Monday
It's time
Why not tomorrow?
Because blizzard specifically said it won't be until 03/17
Like just so we don't get antsy
Thatâs when they go live so the notes gotta be before that right?
Thought the next tuning goes live 3/17 and the Tuesday after is another pass
Thats tuesday bro
Thats when they go into effect
Not when we get the notes
I assume blizz will tell us Monday at least
Like logically speaking
But I doubt we get earlier
They're busy fixing a ton of shit
they have a tendancy to announce tunings on friday nights but obviously it could be at any point between now and tuesday
the only thing we know for sure is tuning will hit on tuesday
If it was just pvp tuning id agree with you but heroic week is starting im sure they want to give people the weekend to plan their comps
I hope you're right
I rather get disappointed sooner than later
I still don't think any rogue spec is overpowered so hopefully not bad
Yeah notes always drop Fridays lol
so what we expecting for tmr
11% increase to sinister strike, 11% increase to mutilate, 20% nerf to sec tec?
how are we doing in slayer's rise
I say probably 3% buff across the board to outlaw, nothing to assa, and sectec nerfed by 20%, shadow strike nerfed by 15%, and all sub damage nerded by 10%
Did yall read about the new turbo boost rolls for the next patch? Seems pretty cool
No?
Oh so we're going BACK in time now
oh fuck
Feels like the coins from legion lmao
We bringing back Titanforged too while we at it??

the ones from BFA
when you used to reroll for dres trinket
bonus rolls but it always give an item
so better then that system but yea
guess they are trying out dinar replacements
Battle Visage is intended to be a toggleable spell for Evokers like Chosen Identity, that while active causes your character to automatically switch to their Dracthyr form for spells that require their draconic physique. After the spell is finished, they will automatically return to Visage form.
yo
big
Huge rogue changes did you guys see them?
Stop BSing us
sounds like it's making people sick from the camera lol
damn that's one heavy coin
Holy fuck
Ah finally they fixed the issue with the Silvermoon PvP training dummies. They scale you up now
lol he prolly said the same thing "what the fuck hit me... a coin? bullshit"
That's actually big
Outlaw?
âImpressive.. very nice. Now lets see Paul Allanâs Fatebound Coinâ
a fellow coinflipper lesgooooo
assa
Overflowing purse is filthy too, especially after AR flips 2 so a multi hit cascade occurs.
it goes both ways though đ
right in the butthole as I was taking GM.. just ghosted
@potent pivot is this really the best talent to put this point in? I know all the options are trash but I'd think even poison bomb would be better than this garbage
So I figured out with Devourer DH⌠I can run the same annihilator build in keys, raid, and PvP 
RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OUTLAW IS THE BEST RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
new to pvp, what is sub rogues job in battlegrounds ?
Crimson tempest
Pinned build also still takes Airborne irritant
I shared a better build with Notrickz
Ok but really
Can you paste your build please
A lot more similar to last season, but itâs been working for me in skirmishes and R1 wargames - can switch to fatebound as well
Isnt deathstalker bugged?
But also, using the pinned talents is fine too - just drop Doomblade for CT
and only press CT when theyâre stacked and you have full duration/pandemiced bleeds out
I think so, but the rot talents are too good to give up for that exact build
feels like over time they parse almost identically - I can't find trhe difference
but it works w fatebound too
Dropping Zolydk???
Yes for sudden demise
Sudden demise = ALWAYS extra bleed damage
vs only bleed damage during low hp windows
With this build are you waiting for deathmark to expire before pressing kingsbane to get the Lingering Darkness buff?
I was just sending Kingsbane more often/whenever I wanted and saving Deathmark for when they run out of defensives
idk still need to test more, but I definitely liked it more than the envenom build
For 3s
What have you been doing on Assa so far Zicore?
Kingsbane's Implacable can push people into Sudden Demise too, it feels so good
i dont use them, but I may be completely dumb
how big do your envenoms get? stacking everything down the middle like that with DTB
You can hit a pretty big envenom with all mods, but itâs the same as a normal evis/sec tech as sub
đ
I'm not playing it because I'm cursed
Zicore plying assa? Hahahhahaahah
We're mind gaming bliz
He has come for all three of us so many times, yet here he comes... into the fold
hes a sub player now LOL
While not playing around Crackshot anymore is cool and all, I really, really miss the regeneration of Soothing Darkness.
what you dont like outlaw being the squishiest rogue spec?
Until I get enough Haste to get rid of Thistle Tea though, can't fit it in my build anywhere.
Ive just been playing the pinned build. Shit feels horrible
it still wouldnt be great
It's wild how they want us to be infighters though.
Yeah, but it's at least something besides Crimson Vial.
its kind of weird if outlaw is the squishy spec
I just get low and I'm like fuck.
what is it good for?
being a pirate cowboy
lower control than the other two
yeearrr
affected by armor
I Vanish and I'm just invisible and still low.
less burst
in pve there is no such thing as enough haste to drop tea FWIW
the spec doesnt really function without tea and vigor
but pvps a bit different
downtime in ur rotation probably more acceptable
any day now they are gunna revert the RB pvp nerf they did to us because crackshots RB cdr was too much
now that its gone
annnnnnnny day

play my version; its super fun - I use shiv/hemo, I use vanish as a dps CD to grab more big silencing garrotes, I run Deadly Poison, I save full kidney for 60% or so HP and then Kingsbane them into sudden demise, it's a goddamn blast to play
its everything wrong, I am ok with it; but it's super fun in BGs
what is shiv for
hemo
oh right right pvp talents
i was just perusing the other trees
couldnt find hemo
i use CT to keep everything bleeding forever
Ive fucked around with hemo but pressing shiv just feels so bad
nah that 85% slow is chefs kiss
You already have everyone slowed by 65%
i warned you I was dumb, just try it
ima get dev dh nerfed with the amnt of dmg im doing in BGs lmaoooo
i would tell outlaw folks to try it.. mog 1h swords, this feels most OG rogue to me now and I challenged the brotherhood 20 years ago
One thing I will say is not needing to shiv does speed up the rotation a bit
Now the "burst" is just deathmark>kingsbane
Assa just feels horrible
yeah Implacable can do 100-200k
Wow if even you say that then it must be REALLY fucked
you missing out on this implacable burst, its so damn fun, im tellin u
I think my intel CPU is cooked
Keyboard and mouse stop working. Force restartâŚ.. âbios failure detectedâ FML
This 14900 finally fried đ
amazon overnight delivery only 467 not too bad for a new one lol
im not tryna change motherboards and go to a diff cpu at this point and i updated the BIOS to the latest one released in december.... maybe just a bad cpu idk
Yall complicate this shit way too much
Ive had the same laptop I paid $600 for, for the last 5+ years
And its fine
apparently when i first got this CPU i didnt update the BIOS for like a week and that is probably what cooked me
datamining nonsense 99% of the time, wait for the real blue notes on the changes to see what actually happened
In the 2nd one it looks like they just corrected a typo in the word "shuriken"
Damn AI misspelling
usually its them changing how spells do their effects or stuff like that behind the scenes or fixing tooltips and whatnot with no actual effect to the spell. sometimes it is, but if it is itll show up in the real notes
Hey, how can I configure it so that pets are not targeted? I understand perfectly well that everyone uses macros in the arena, but I don't find them convenient to use. I used to have some kind of add-on (like Retabbinder), but it doesn't work now, and I have to manually switch between enemy players or targets in the settings every time.
You can use the in game target enemy player set to a keybind
Author of minicc has a retab addon too
It looks like it went from modifying Shiv debuff on target to add the -30% healing flag to hemotoxin proccing a new debuff
is what it reads like
Aka Shiv applies Hemotoxin debuff
instead of shiv debuff being -30% healing
isnt this just a setting
his press release addon is pretty good
Wow so Iâm not the only one
Who thinks the assa changes are fucking chalked
Unfortunately
ya, itâs what snowfallkeypress used to be
back in the original WOTLK/Cata days
feels like my devourer is OP with it lol
just spamming keys sending shit the second it can
Yes, but better to have an addon change your binds from enemy player to enemies when in PVE vs PVP
ah its just for switching when doing different content I see
Yeah, the way the spec is built is that it requires too much uptime to keep bleeds up + chaining envenoms + spending CP on Kidney shot + farming CPs back to get back to spamming envenoms while keeping bleeds up again
but unfortunately we donât have near 100% uptime in PvP
I feel like Assa UHDK will be a pretty decent comp next season
With a voidweaver or fistweaver
Hpal COULD be ok
Whoâs got money on kalshi for uhdk getting nerfed Tuesday
10000000%
all assa rogues! i need ur attention! we must figure out how to make assa decent in pvp..there must be away
But who knows, not that many DK players
Assa dev isnât bad. It has the stuns you lack and everyoneâs slowed the entire game so that helps you
Spec sub
No kill pressure, just a lot of fake damage
dont they have bugs that are boosting their damage? bugs get fixed they get nuked a bit lol
Devs mastery is fucked
Would be cool if we can see how often that âdanger closeâ talent works. Like an addon that has like⌠details
Theyâre removing glacial spike from generating out of combat lmao
i dunno it feels booring to me đ i just want a playble build that would work in ss when season start
I remember you playing dev assa with montage last ssn. Saw you guys run into palus team before AWC
What buffs

Our PvP gear ilvl just gonna auto upgrade to that when that patch drops
what is the best craft to make ?
What did assa lose in its kit mainly cc wise? The cheap shot CD and garrote silence no longer aoe right?
ya
So it might still end up viable if they just tune it up a bit?
sparks are for pve
so we dont craft anything with it now ?
not for pvp
we do get embellishments. we just don't use sparks for pvp
with what do we craft then ?
think u replied to the wrong msg
oh cvrap
We get the PvP quest Tuesday. We will get 9. U can craft then
Oooo drac forms can be permanent now
Most usually do amulets to start since they cost 3 a pop to make
Lowkey might night need to make a rogue one
And the amulets auto have socket on them this time
Imagine thinking youâre about to kill a rogue and he tail whips you away
not sure mate we lack cc and our damage is only good with DM
@severe helm do you know what all the API changes mean
I hadn't read up on it can you link?
Busy work day I'm behind on all the news lol
Iâm just hitting that reroll button homie ngl
If I play rogue in PvP itâs gonna be sub
Still enjoying Devourer? lol
