as a top 20 BGB blitz member across north america I must say I am shocked and disgusted by that accusation

gilded gulch
#

they boo you

#

then demo lock tanks your entire burst

#

with pact

#

assuming you got past his instant fear and axetoss

#

already

proven field
#

jokes on you, there are other specs that own me way harder than demo

gilded gulch
#

irony of an mm hunter complaining about burst

#

in /1

#

when i kill him

proven field
#

sir, unless you are willing to complain about ret paladins, I am going to have to ask you to stop, respectfully

gilded gulch
#

ret paladin is hard wdym

#

i played it with obr

and doubled the other guy’s dam

#

i imported vanguards’ build and didnt read a single talent

#

no we just complain about them

if you main ret you’re either 12 or 55

ok, as a top 20 north american assa rogue blitz player, you can stay

are there even 20 assa on na

proven field
#

there are way more than 20, how dare you

#

this isn't outlaw, I am offended

if have legs hero, i can buy the item that convert pve item to pvp item, and set it, so it can benefit for both pve and pvp ?

#

cuz stats are fixed in set tier right?

There are in fact... checks drustvar... 105 lol

1/10th the number of sub, but still 2x the number of outlaw

i agree, I have already updated my linkedin profile

#

i lowkey would fuck with this, turns it into literally how all swashbuckler rogues function in DnD

#

instead of this weird non functioning theme it has

#

anyways @potent pivot took only 2 1/2 half hours to hit 90 with my sub using Follow the Arrow, recent update is baller

#

finishes at 87 and 80% with proffession

proven field
#

What is the role of outlaw; my assumption was always heavy sustain and cleave (no burst like sub, not rot/ramp like assa) - how do we honestly balance that to be effective

#

previously it would be things like "tanky enough to survive and out-last healer pools" but dont really see that now

outer sky
proven field
outer sky
rough rock
#

Like a fighter role more focused on cc and enabling

proven field
#

it was CC monster a few expacs ago

rough rock
#

yes but only sub can have cc and do damage

outer sky
rough rock
#

blizzard ruled that

proven field
#

so back to my question then, what role is outlaw

#

can't out-CC, can't out-live, can't out-burst, doesn't rot passively

rough rock
#

We can carry a flag half as good as a mw or evoker!

proven field
#

(and I ask this as a combat main since hemo days)

outer sky
proven field
#

It's missing something for sure, but part of that is also really just because sub has too much

outer sky
#

Outlaw isn't bad because sub is good

#

its bad because its bad

#

dont overthink it

proven field
#

i think you're right though, some of the unique CC should be spread or moved over

outer sky
#

Literally everything was fine before Midnight

#

Any issue a spec had could be solved with numbers tuning

rough rock
#

Yeah ngl after almost 100 blitz games on outlaw this season i feel like i do nothing better than sub

outer sky
#

99/100 times

#

these changes fucked everything up

#

Put 2 specs in the gutter where they shall remain forever and one on a throne

potent pivot
outer sky
#

just fucking gutting a 22 year old integral class mechanic

#

like yeah okay

#

like they could revert the cheap shot change and make shadow dance cap cheap shots at 2 per dance

#

and that would fix like 90% of the problem

proven field
#

but hey look at the bright side, helps with maintaining confidence.. if you beat a sub on a node it's like "man, you got wrecked" but if they beat you it's like "well, you're sub, you should"

Yeah now the specs are fucked

Beyond repair

#

Lol

potent pivot
outer sky
#

yep

severe helm
#

They're lost tbh

#

The pve tuning is also super misguided lately

#

I think we're just at the point that a lot of the developers are just really out of touch with how the game actually functions

#

So they aren't able to make informed decisions

potent pivot
#

I’m gonna do it boys

#

Gonna apply to work at blizzard

#

Fix the machine from the inside

Yeah that was kinda always the joke but it feels very real now

They're so fucking lost

#

Something about midnight feels worse idk

potent pivot
#

The amount of things they have to re touch after the fact or walk back. And then the stupid things they decide to be extremely stubborn about like Deathstalkers mark …

severe helm
#

BRO

#

That one genuinely was so upsetting

#

Why did it take this fucking long

potent pivot
#

Wdym

#

It’s still fucked

severe helm
#

Well they proposed a fix

#

The one where you can actively move it

potent pivot
#

The fix is a bandaid

severe helm
#

And it now is marked by garrote

potent pivot
#

It’s bullshit

severe helm
#

I agree

#

But they should have done that

#

Week two

#

Of s1

#

Of tww

#

It was so obvious how shit this was gonna play

#

From day 1

#

Rogue is literally designed around sub

#

And assa/outlaw are afterthoughts

potent pivot
#

The fact that they are still sticking to having so much dps tied to interactive debuffs when they’ve fully shown they are not competent enough to make the gameplay feel cohesive …..

#

Get rid of cyclical and cooldown debuffs.

Why aren't there more gnome rogues in blitz/rbg? I feel like the root removal is pretty slept on for sticking to an efc

Is meld/orc really still that much better? Maybe for orc

Maybe I'm just struggling to find all the best uses for meld, besides resetting

Vengeful Wrath now increases Hammer of Wrath damage by up to 20% based on the target’s health (was 50%).

is it an actual nerf for ret?

this wasnt even the cause

for their burst

Lot of nerfs and... Rapid Fire buff and... Ret buffs?

I am simple man, but Rapid Fire may be the most tilting spell in the game when it's good

grave basin
#

Im p sure ww got net buffed

ocean thunder
#

Rapid fire is tilting because you see it killing you, Aimed shot kills you and you have to check the death recap logs to see

Maaan I have to sit in a 15min queue to play rogue or i can play disc with insta queues...

And you can’t run or stop it

Yeah 2/3 of those we gotta be right up on them

rapid fire fkin tilts because its no skilled dmg

no way to counter that

On 1on1 situations sure, you are cooked, but if there's more it's more draining for the hunter to keep it up

Plus you can abuse being the target and LoSing for a little

Not saying its easy, otherwise MMs wouldnt be top dps last season

It’s roughly a ~15% nerf to burst damage

i'm personally ok with the changes but i'm curious Venoc how much do you think the nerf does to the damage during subs burst?

fading blade
gleaming sentinel

Like 10-12% finisher dmg nerf right?

marble oasis
#

12% from the death perception alone during blades/dance then the clones nerf ontop

frozen walrus
marble oasis
outer sky
#

please show your work

#

i did the maths and that 12% is 10.5%

#

the clone nerf is 9% to clone damage

#

its about an 8% total damage nerf

#

then we get another 3% from 4 set

ionic crown
#

8%nerf? sounds good

outer sky
#

its not that bad lmao

outer sky
#

which offsets about 1/3rd of it

frozen walrus

It's nothing

marble oasis
#

how does 12% = 10.5% exactly?

frozen walrus
#

They will still rule PVP

outer sky

but its not severe

marble oasis
#

12% reduction on finishes is 12% reduction on finishers?

frozen walrus
#

They did nothing to their control and survivability

outer sky
#

I'll explain after this blitz

marble oasis
#

i'm genuinely curious as notricks thinks 15% also to evis/tech in burst

marble oasis
#

it's naturally a not effecting builders but i don't think that's where the 'danger' comes from so to speak

#

but yeh happy to see what you've worked out, as always happy to learn how all this spaghetti mixes together

halcyon timber
#

That is a reduction at each layer of the talent. Then since clones are a rider of the parented attack - also reduced

dark stump
#

what did i miss ? from my pov it's 2am

halcyon timber
#

Thats a significant reduction especially when parts depend on the parent to crit and the clones crit on their own - which are reduced in all states. Volatility is lowered and that is before defensives, as healing is pre-existing as a hot or while in cc such as revival or external defensives and individual talents the defending party uses.

With Death Perception stacking multiplicatively (as it does), each bonus multiplies the others rather than being added together. With Shadow Blades up, the current value is 100 × 1.10 × 1.10 × 1.10 = 133.1, and after the nerf it becomes 100 × 1.06 × 1.06 × 1.06 = 119.1. That means you’re going from 133.1 down to 119.1, which is a loss of about 10.5% of your actual damage, not 12%. The “12% nerf” claim comes from comparing 30% vs 18%, but that’s just the change in the buff values, not the real impact on damage. The same logic applies without Shadow Blades: 100 × 1.10 × 1.10 = 121 drops to 100 × 1.06 × 1.06 = 112.36, which is about a 7.1% loss. So in both cases, multiplicative stacking shows that the real damage loss is smaller than the raw percentage difference, and calling it a flat 12% nerf is incorrect because it ignores how the buffs actually scale the base damage.

ionic crown
#

just give me a number

marble oasis
#

i won't pretend to understand all the clones we have now

outer sky
#

those 10.5% and 7.1% numbers are also only to finisher damage, which isn't all of our damage. So the actual impact on our total damage will be noticeably less than those %s. And when we get 4 set we get a flat 3% damage buff across the board to help offset some of this

outer sky
marble oasis
#

not wrong there

outer sky
#

we're probably looking at an 8-9% nerf before 4 set offsets 3%

#

the nerf will be more noticeable during shadowblades

marble oasis
#

Ooo that's a good point so really this is ultimately staving off the majority getting 4 set and making the burst we had completely insane

i've only just for 4set today i won't imagine i'm the last

outer sky
# ionic crown is finality worth btw?

No. It might be worth it if we ever swapped to Deathstalker. Because Finality does nothing unless eviscerate crits, and we're running very low crit. Deathstalker has a way to force an eviscerate crit (darknest night), so Finality get's better when playing that hero tree. But as Trickster you just can't get enough value out of it. It's also nerfed 50% in pvp.

I would just leave your SQW default tbh

400?

potent pivot
#

You won’t feel a difference and it might hurt more than help tbh

#

Yeah

#

The lowest recommended with ping that high is like 300, but I wouldn’t bother with it personally

#

Even with 30-40ms I just leave it default

vague comet

i agree it actually feels better

#

somehow

#

hm

#

i was playing ret on my alt

#

felt like i was doing less dps, i guess it was due to low queue delay

honestly the pally buffs make no sense to me, so it's fine for a pally to 100-0 me in a single HOJ, but if sub does it, it gets straight nerfs 2 weeks in a row

olive sequoia
#

or the week before that i mean, the 10% in pvp nerf

potent pivot
#

ah

#

a lot of that was offset by buffs

#

but yea

#

welcome to the life of a sub rogue unfort

#

happens any time its good week 1

#

"sub has too much utility to have strong damage"

olive sequoia
potent pivot
#

but no one says that about anything else

olive sequoia
#

what about pally then

potent pivot
#

Ye exactly

lilac sigil
#

I don’t get this whole explanation of nerfs that sub can’t have big dmg due to his kit, other specs have many spamable cc tools and still do more dmg like frost/fire mage, feral, demo lock. If this nerf hit hard sub will become stun bot, even now killing w/o blades is hard. With outlaw and assa being not decent it will be painful experience

rustic raptor
#

is the sub nerf serious?

marsh mauve
#

maybe we should shut down the discord, that seems to help

potent pivot
rustic raptor
potent pivot
#

kinda yeah

#

somewhere in the range of 12-15% less damage in burst

#

depth perception is a 2pt node so its twice as big of a nerf than it reads on the notes

#

which is a nerf to base ability damage during burst, plus a nerf to clones (replicating shadows) on top which are already going to do less damage because of the base ability nerf

lone jasper
#

im Not saying anything about retri...

rustic raptor
#

ret got buffed lol

lilac sigil
#

Increasing dance CD to 30s would be enough and more fair nerf, our dmg burst wasn’t as big as fire, ww, enh or frost mage with full ray, even ret could do more dmg in less time

#

And how many times when you pop blades they throw every possible cc

potent pivot
#

Too many ppl complain on forums about sub specifically etc

#

If these new nerfs next week feel terrible, just make a forum thread with feedback ig

#

I don’t see any other way to get the point across

balmy shuttle
#

Maybe unpopular opinion, but as long as you can kill in kidney + shadowblades sub is fine. Sub player should need to work a bit harder for their kills. Also, current sub representation in all brackets speaks volumes. Personally, I consider the nerfs a slap on the wrist until I see sub representation decrease significantly.

potent pivot
#

most rogues have felt like they've had to go sub

#

then the left over fotm rerollers that already rolled sub early on when it was broken

#

there's so many holes in the represenation argument its not even funny

#

in real games you don't just solo people with blades

lilac sigil
#

Quanity of subs rogues belong to every rog switching to sub because assa and outlaw are underperforming

#

And if you look above 2k mmr in solo most rogs at eu are top players and their alts

potent pivot
#

tier list based on rep

#

...

lilac sigil
#

Killing with kidney + blades is impossible in real game w/o help of other bursty spec

potent pivot
#

that was for shuff

#

this is 3s

#

ww, ret, mage, unholy, enh are all fine. right?

#

gotta nerf sub !

lilac sigil
#

And tbh strongest part of sub was enabling goes of this specs

potent pivot
#

as crazy as it sounds even i would rather have 30sec dance CD than a damage nerf

#

and i do not want 30sec dance CD either KEKL

lilac sigil
#

I played 3s with lock this season and I don’t get moaning about op sub dmg because its hard to kill some1 if you don’t have big dmg from mage, ww or enh

balmy shuttle
#

EU Representation 1.8k+ all brackets: 2v2 (sub No1 dps), 3v3 (sub No1 dps), Shuffle (sub No2 dps), Blitz (sub No1 dps)

#

sry but numbers don't like guys

#

*lie

potent pivot
#

no one cares about 2v2

#

eu ladder is just degen

#

always has been

balmy shuttle
#

what kind of logic is that

potent pivot
#

it doesn't matter what it is, if something is considered good all of you will play that spec

#

why can't that spec be sub for once

lilac sigil
#

Look how many rogs in top spots are whaazz, naala, avidance and naask alts

balmy shuttle
#

This is about representation not top spots

potent pivot
#

instead now it will be feral, ww, etc

lilac sigil
#

Feral will take rog place

potent pivot
#

the spec with the smallest representation across the game

#

can't let that be good

nope

For me it didn’t need nerf too

outer sky
#

If i were a dev and I HAD to nerf sub in PvP, what i would do is this.

Rogue: Subtlety

All damage increased by 15%. Does not apply to PvP combat.

Talent: Supercharger
Now procs off of Shadow Blades instead of Shadow Dance

#

Gg

lilac sigil
#

That would be fine more dmg outside goes and less bursty

stoic spruce
#

As if sub sustain ever actually mattered

lilac sigil
#

But tbh ppl that saying sub kill in kidney must be low mmr, otherwise its almost impossible. Balance team should never look at low mmr when making balance changes

outer sky

#

no shit, people die in kidney. how else did sub win lmfao. how does ANY class win? cc

a lot has to happen for the kidney to work. people just cry because they’re mentally unwell

no i’m replying to poop

#

stoic spruce
#

Yeah now it's a cheap and a kidney

outer sky
#

Also we've been playing 600-700 points of haste to get 2 extra dance globals. If im wrong and the nerfs feel worse than the numbers suggest, we always have the option to drop 500-600 points of haste, get only one extra globals in dance, and put those stats into mastery for more burst. Im not saying anyone necessarily SHOULD do that. But its definitely an option to regain some burst if needed.

hi, so, lets say you walk around in the open world doing pve for example preys or world quests, do you wear pvp or pve gear?

pvp gear

it scales up in all pvp combat

but only in pvp combat when in the world

which can kill you if youre too low on health and you drop combat. At least it did to me in TWW

How are people feeling about the sub nerfs? They dont seem that bad i was expecting worse tbh

potent pivot
molten hedge
#

P sure he said 4 set

potent pivot
#

Doesn’t matter

#

It still won’t

#

Kind of a dumb thing either way, gear doesn’t just offset aura nerfs

#

The nerfs could very well be higher than -15% because of the clone damage being doubly nerfed

#

And 4set gives us less than 3% damage

potent pivot
#

this is +3% damage in Blades, but you also trade stats off to get it, so effectively less than 3%

#

these are all nerfed to 6%, which means less consistent damage and burst

#

this is reduced to 5%

rough rock
#

Will it affect how much haste we are running?

potent pivot
#

so base ability damage was nerfed by -4% from FW, -4% from Dance,-4% from Blades.
base ability damage being lower = clone damage being lower.
then clone damage nerfed another -10% on top of all of that.

rough rock
#

Like the worth of the extra global

potent pivot
#

a "fair nerf" would've been like maybe -2% each on depth total (-1% per talent point) and -5% to clones

#

but 4 set by far does not make up for even 25% of the damage lost from the nerf

potent pivot
#

i think haste will still be really good in pve comps/shuffle for sure

#

ill use another rogue to test mastery after the change just to be sure

pliant spoke
#

if we're supposed to have 600-700 rating for haste, why are the rogues on murlock.io having ~274 and stacking mastery/vers?

potent pivot
#

There’s plenty of people running either or

pliant spoke
potent pivot
#

You’re looking at an average that doesn’t even consider pvp ilvl bud

pliant spoke
#

does that same thing apply for the top 5 in blitz for sub?

#

because they're all vers/mastery build too

For any sub rogue Pvpers I have a quest . For solo shuffle what do you focus on ? Do you focus on the dps or healers . I’m having problems because I feel every classs can shield and out heal the damage I do and it’s just a pumping match . Any tips to counter this?

rough rock
#

wildly variable answers

lilac sigil
#

Depends on situation you have to react to things that happen during match, if your main target used wall or is saved by healer cd you can swap to 2nd dps or try force things like bubble from hpal

Okay

Anti cc right ?

Or wall is cc

#

Or a shield

gilded gulch
#

i mean anything that can save them from dying

gritty hemlock
#

I guess you can say?

#

Ok

gilded gulch
#

hpals often have to bubble as a secondary trinket

#

to save their dps

#

and you can kill them in that window

gritty hemlock
#

They can bubble another person ?

gilded gulch
#

themselves

#

so they cant be cced during

gritty hemlock
#

Ty for the help

gilded gulch
#

its all about getting resources

#

in your stun goes

#

eventually they dont have enough to stop yours

#

if the dps you open on trinkets you can just stun someone else and start hitting them

#

maybe get another trinket or cc

gritty hemlock
#

When you are doing a combo

#

And your trying to pump

#

Do you keep them cc locked as well?

gilded gulch
#

matchup dependent

#

you’re not killing people outside stuns generally

gritty hemlock
#

There are so many spells in this game

#

It sucks that idk classes that well

#

I feel like every class gotta way to get free like a bird

gilded gulch

like dhs are super prone to dying

if their trinket is down

if no peeling your go or a pre dark/blur he can get so far behind
