Verms shuffle experience

#

Warlock tried to throw in my time with him

#

Brought it back with a 5-1

#

Just to spite the lock

outer sky
vocal surge
#

Yeeee

vocal surge
outer sky
#

Imagine if its still bad

stoic spruce
#

I'm expecting alright

potent pivot
#

it took 48% in raw aura buffs to make assa relecant in SL s1

vocal surge
#

our damage in AR is barely increased

outer sky
vocal surge
#

but our out of AR DPS is massively increased

outer sky
vocal surge
#

100 --> 112
100 --> 120 vs 123.4% (New)

#

I'd argue Outlaw's in a weird position

#

There's no solid build we go

#

Trickster shreds clothies but tanks in the face of plate

#

Fatebound pens plate but sucks at Cloth

outer sky
#

Id probably just go fatebound if for no other reason than that it means I never have to press KS in its current scuffed configuration

stoic spruce
#

Real

vocal surge
#

Killing Spree pumps thou

outer sky
#

Id rather just not deal with that

stoic spruce
#

If it doesn't hit what you want, then it's meaningless pad that fluffs up the scoreboard dmg to make us look better than we are

vocal surge
#

That's why you single out your target

#

180* cone, 8yd range

outer sky
#

Yeah again

#

Id just rather not deal with it

#

Having to rely on that kind of positioning is just not consistent enough imo

stoic spruce
#

I miss Sting Like A Bee

#

Surprised they didn't give that to Sub too

outer sky
vocal surge
#

prob going 2-4 this lobby

#

Ret Pal and x2 Hpals

#

with arms n surv

outer sky
#

Out of protest

#

If there's ever 2 rets or 3 pallys of any kind I just leave

#

Not entertaining that bs

vocal surge
#

Not risking

#

150 CR

#

as Outlaw

#

xD

outer sky
#

I mean its like every season. Same pink class. I never have to worry about seeing 3 evokers or 3 shamans but there's always a good chance of 3 pallys. Sometimes 4!

#

This was from last season

vocal surge
#

Might be

#

a 4-2

outer sky
potent pivot
#

ah i thought you were thinking spheres was 15%

#

touch is only phys but ye

vocal surge
#

Pain

#

3-3

#

All the pally tools we had to go through

#

as SurvLaw

#

Bop Bop LOH LOH Sac Sac Sac Sac

#

then the warrior has Retail x2 from how long he's survived

outer sky
vocal surge
#

We had multiple kill windows stopped

#

because of Pally tools

outer sky
#

And they also have personal walls they can press while stunned

#

That also proc an absorb shield

#

Oh and if they get below 35% hp they take 10% reduced damage

#

Just because

vocal surge
#

Blade Flurry's kinda bad now compared to TWW's version

#

Even if given the opportunity to cleave

#

the 36% AOE damage spread is hardly worth pressing

#

Because it drops off so often that refreshing it eats up CDR

outer sky
vocal surge
#

Dont forget they're reducing Blade Flurry damage in the next patch

outer sky
#

Yeah I mean why not

#

Current outlaw is so neutered lmao

#

If it was just bad damage thatd be one thing

#

But

#

No more cdr in vanish, evasion, feint

#

Nerfed cdr on everything else

#

No more sting

#

Nerfed hook speed

#

Scuffed KS redesign

#

Can't multi stun anymore

#

Getting flurry nerfed

#

Then theres whatever the fuck is going on with Audacity/HO

#

Oh and the feint pvp talent is still giga nerfed for outlaw despite the feint cdr being gone which was the whole rationale for the nerf to begin with

vocal surge
#

How Blade Flurry's damage is looking on Tuesday

#

1 2 3 on top = target count (players only)

#

It's a small upgrade for non-AR windows

#

but slight downgrade in AR

outer sky
#

I played outlaw last in DF S3

stoic spruce
#

Your damage came from good rng anyways

outer sky
#

And I remember flurry pumping

vocal surge
#

Yee

#

DF / TWW Blade Flurry

#

if both targets are near each other

#

and you cleave

#

YOU HURT

stoic spruce
#

Comes from good rng* rather

vocal surge
#

Midnight Blade Flurry?

stoic spruce
#

Mid at best

#

Only good because BR is semi decent

#

Only mid at best because *

vocal surge
#

atleast it can break people out of their CC's (Traps, etc) in .1s

#

after they get CC'd

potent pivot
#

just boycot playing outlaw until they actually do stuff

stoic spruce
#

Never

outer sky
potent pivot
vocal surge
#

Imma have to do the math for Trickster side

outer sky
vocal surge
#

but I doubt Trickster's fairing any better

stoic spruce
vocal surge
#

Ayy

#

A game where I can run Trickster

potent pivot
#

not until He returns

stoic spruce
#

He's right there

potent pivot
#

this screenshot is from BC

#

or 'pre-AD'

stoic spruce
#

The irony

#

Lmaoo

potent pivot
#

L0l

outer sky
# stoic spruce It'll change

I order for them to fix it they'd have to roll back a good bit of their CC and utility nerfs. The problem is, they pruned a bunch of CC and utility but didnt account for how much those are weighted for each class/spec's relative power. They pruned CC from rogues and pretended that was the same as pruning CC from spriests. It isn't. Rogue power was way more heavily tied to CC than spriest power was. So a superficially equal nerf was in practice a disproportionate Rogue nerf.

potent pivot
#

if they see zero of them for a while, maybe they will realize something is grotesquely wrong.

stoic spruce
#

They don't have to give CC back, they can give different tools

stoic spruce
#

spellwarding but for evasion

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

You give someone evasion while you also get evasion

#

No

#

Cloak too ig

#

I'm just saying

#

It doesn't have to be CC

potent pivot
#

fix the pvp mod on RB

#

give outlaw veil

#

uhhh

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

ummmmmmmm

stoic spruce
#

Tbh

#

Kinda need that RB back

potent pivot
#

20sec kidney for assa/law

#

boom

outer sky
potent pivot
#

fixed the game yw

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

I'd like them to go back and revisit pvp talents and make outlaws more team oriented again

outer sky
#

Warriors have so many good ones

#

Ret doesnt have many good ones but the good ones it does have are REALLY good

#

I couldn't believe warrior pvp talents

#

Theres like 6 that are super good

vocal surge
#

Having 0.8s on Restless Blades is pepega

outer sky
#

And some are clearly better than others but they dont have bad ones

vocal surge
#

Either we should have the x1.25 damage amp

#

to make up for that 20% CDR loss

#

or give us the 20% CDR

#

and leave as is

stoic spruce
#

I'd rather the 20% so the spec can play as intended

outer sky
#

Yeah

#

Agree

stoic spruce
#

Any time you play a spec in pve and it plays differently in pvp, that's a failed design imo

#

Or tuning rather

#

Sometimes design

vocal surge
#

Yeee

outer sky
#

If it stays at 0.8s it should affect more shit

stoic spruce
#

They need to redo pvp mods game wide tbh. Some specs are playing the most atrocious builds because they were strong a year ago and still nerfed.

vocal surge
#

side tangent

#

I hate Mugumbala

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Absolutely

vocal surge
#

That map needs to be axed

stoic spruce
vocal surge
#

Breath of SIndragosa?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

vocal surge
#

it's at 1 rn

#

the PvP mod

stoic spruce
#

They probably reset it when they remade it

#

It might've been frostwyrms fury

vocal surge
stoic spruce
#

Computer, fact check this please

vocal surge
#

I wonder if the reason for us having 0.8 PvP mod on Restless Blade

stoic spruce
#

Holy moly they reverted a negative pvp mod on DK

vocal surge
#

is so we're syncing up with everyone else's CDs

#

despite us playing Outlaw to desync from everyone

#

and create kill windows

stoic spruce
#

Nah

#

That doesn't make sense

#

I do think they'll kill RB in the future

#

Possibly near future

vocal surge
#

What makes you say that/

stoic spruce
#

Specs with active CDR are having it taken away

#

And the CDs are reduced

vocal surge
#

That wouldn't make sense for Outlaw thou

#

Outlaw has had a very long history with CDR

#

dating all the way back to Wrath or Cata

stoic spruce
#

I imagine we'll have charges of Adr and stuff to make up for it

vocal surge
#

Yeee

#

Cata

#

when we were Combat

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Vanish you mean?

vocal surge
outer sky
#

Nothing is sacred

stoic spruce
#

Yeah, we didn't have CDR on vanish until Legion

vocal surge
#

The main CD for Cheap Shot thou

#

was tied to Vanish

#

or whenever we got stealth

#

and Vanilla Cheap Shot was 4s

stoic spruce
#

Yeah the CD hurts more than vanish cdr imo

vocal surge
#

but rn with how the meta is

stoic spruce
#

12 seconds for such a short stun

vocal surge
#

Cheap Shot for Outlaw can be 6s ezpz

#

for how long it takes to get Vanish back

potent pivot
#

this guy is such a goat damn

vocal surge
#

Restless Blades back in Cata btw

#

did 2s of CDR per combo point spent

#

but our combo point gen and energy eco was different

#

from how it is now

#

since Combo Points capped at 5

#

and Sinister Strike had a chance to give the combo point

#

rather than strike twice

stoic spruce
#

I don't miss cata combat

#

Or prewod combat in general

#

Or WoD combat

#

Legion did irreparable dmg to combat optics

vocal surge
#

Imo

#

What did hurt Outlaw was Fan the Hammer

stoic spruce
#

Yeah someone asked me what I'd change about outlaw if I were a dev and I'd said I'd remove fth

#

I think it ran it's course

vocal surge
#

Outlaw back in SL was a different vibe

stoic spruce
#

The way it works, you don't have the room to add anything that grants full CP

vocal surge
#

Technically there's 2 issues

#

Stratagems

#

And FTH

#

Stratagems on paper sound good

#

Except...

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I don't like that either

vocal surge
#

You get people complaining energy is an issue

stoic spruce
#

I've been 6cp cooker since tww dropped

vocal surge
#

When the energy is fine when you dont have that 7th combo point

stoic spruce
#

I'm surprised it made it to Midnight tbh

vocal surge
#

Fan the Hammer, is fun to play with

#

Don't get me wrong

stoic spruce
#

Right

vocal surge
#

But filling up finishers so fast just makes tuning them weaker

stoic spruce
#

Yeah it kinda holds the spec back design wise in some ways

vocal surge
#

There's also the matter of the fact that Outlaws tuned around Crit damage

#

And pvp crit mod is a thing

#

Its understandable why the crit mods there

outer sky
#

I miss the old school outlaw buffs

vocal surge
#

But combine that with the nerfed Evasive Maneuver, Restless Blades, and crit mod

#

And Outlaw is fighting at 1/2 strength

stoic spruce
#

I really hope Legion Classic is a thing because I'm absolutely jumping ship

vocal surge
#

Im jumping ship for Classic+

stoic spruce
#

If they fix CPs then I prolly will

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

What'll probably happen like every other time, blizz will add something cool to outlaw and I'll just play that on top of Classic+

potent pivot
#

now everyone just runs literal 0 crit in pvp unless it heavily interacts with their spec which is like.... 2 specs in the game or some shit........

outer sky
#

Yeah the crit nerf in pvp is really stale gameplay wise

#

I get that it makes things easier to tune

#

Because you dont have to account for a random rng doubling of intended damage

#

But idk if the alternative is much better

vocal surge
#

Technically there is a way for Outlaw to 1 shot

#

But that requires the rot meta

#

And us to be Dark Iron Dwarf

#

Because Dark Iron Dwarf primary stat scaling on their racial is filthy

outer sky
#

Bro just play ret and all it requires is logging in

vocal surge
#

Ret's so stale

#

The class plays itself

#

Might as well program a bot at that point to play Ret than to play Ret myself

stoic spruce
#

Leveling in Legion remix made me not a fan of FtH

stoic spruce
#

Idk I can't explain it. I just found it more enjoyable when I have 5cp and no fth

#

Old roll the bones

#

Good times tbh

vocal surge
#

Id prefer SoD Rogue over Retail Rogue thou

outer sky
#

RtB with no CD as a combo point spender was peak RtB

vocal surge
#

There's so much nuances with SoD Rogue that's fun

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I liked spender RtB a lot

vocal surge
#

Outside of Mutilate Envenom build

stoic spruce
#

Back then, it made sense your builders did more damage

#

Because RtB was a spender and didn't do dmg when pressed

outer sky
#

Yep

vocal surge
#

How does Legion RTB work?

stoic spruce
#

Now it's just kind of it's thing it inherited

stoic spruce
vocal surge
#

So Slice and Dice esque?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

vocal surge
#

Dang

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Yep

vocal surge
#

Thats so wack

stoic spruce
#

Yeah now it is but back then it was kinda close tbh

#

One tier snd was picked over RtB

#

Antorus I think

vocal surge
#

I imagine Outlaw felt smooth ey?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah it was pretty fun

potent pivot
#

i never played when rtb was a spender but its always sounded so awkward to me

#

might just be because i've only ever played with it as a CD but idk

stoic spruce
#

It's one of those things where you just had to be there

potent pivot
#

having to repeatedly cast a non-damaging finisher to fish sounds really weird

outer sky
#

The buffs from RtB were pure RNG. You couldn't really pad the odds. Loaded Dice existed but was on a choice node with Alacrity so nobody took it. You had a 79% chance of rolling 1 buff, 20% chance to roll 2, and 1% chance to roll 5. It wasnt possible to have 3 or 4 buffs

stoic spruce
#

Your builders did more damage than spenders and you sent bte on CD

#

RtB was a lot like S2 tww

#

In rerolls

#

It was actually more than bfa

#

Bfa had a trait where if you rolled a 1 buff, you were granted haste

vocal surge
#

Instead of the later 5d6

outer sky
vocal surge
#

5 dice, 6 rolls

#

Vs 6 dice 6 rolls

stoic spruce
#

Doesn't that imply we rolled 6 buffs?

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Yeah

outer sky
#

Best was a 5 buff

vocal surge
#

Old reddit comments said it was 6 dice

#

It used to be 1/2/3/6 buffs

outer sky
#

It was 1/2/5

stoic spruce
#

Someone look this up, I'm at work

#

But I'm pretty sure it's always been 1/2/5

outer sky
#

It was

#

Reddit is fried as usual

vocal surge
#

Yeee, it was 6 dice

stoic spruce
#

That's just an animation

#

1 for each buff

vocal surge
#

August 5, 2016 screenshot

stoic spruce
#

We still have 6 dice

outer sky
#

Yeah that guy rolled a 2 buff

#

Thats all thats showing

vocal surge
#

WoWHead Comment

potent pivot
#

it was 1/2/3/6

#

ya

vocal surge
#

Patch 7.0 was Legion

outer sky
#

It mustve went to 1/2/5 in bfa

potent pivot
#

it was 1/2/5 in SL

outer sky
#

I didnt play rogue before legion and I didnt play outlaw until bfa

stoic spruce
#

I think it did because it's starting to sound familiar

outer sky
#

It was 1/2/5 in bfa too

stoic spruce
#

You know a spell has aura when people are debating it 10 years later

outer sky
#

They fucked with it a lot

#

I cant stand this current version of RtB

#

Feel like its just been gettinh worse

stoic spruce
#

I think it's fine but very boring

outer sky
#

Its SO boring

stoic spruce
#

It doesnt have any edge

outer sky
#

What i actually liked about RtB as a spender was like, idk if yall play Blackjack, but theres certain "rules" for when to hit, stand, split, etc. But the good players break those rules all the time because they know how and when to break them. Old school RtB was like that

stoic spruce
#

Had nuance yeah

outer sky
#

"I know im supposed to reroll but im not going to" and if you're right you'd do more damage than the guy going by the book

#

Or rerolling when you maybe shouldn't

#

And it paying off

stoic spruce
#

People say RtB is rng now

#

They just don't know

outer sky
#

They've got no idea lmao

stoic spruce
#

They also don't know it was fuckin peak

potent pivot
#

ye they changed it to 1/2/5 for bfa

outer sky
#

And weve been on the decline ever since

stoic spruce
#

We really have

vocal surge
#

There was the S2 TWW set

stoic spruce
#

And not in a doomer way

vocal surge
#

that gave us all the RTB buffs constantly

stoic spruce
#

We lost so much cool shit since legion

vocal surge
#

and broke how we worked

#

aka Restless Blades nerfed

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Crackshot helped with that as well

vocal surge
#

Also remember when I called it with Preemptive Maneuver back it was first introduced?

stoic spruce
vocal surge
#

that it was gonna be too op

#

and it was

stoic spruce
#

I made someone die to fall damage because they were slow falling off a cliff and I shot them with a bte

vocal surge
#

Lol

#

Was BTE on CDR?

stoic spruce
#

No

vocal surge
#

So it was a major CD back then?

#

Or did it replace Kidney Shot

outer sky
# stoic spruce Yeah it was great

I found it annoying in bfa because I was doing keys and outlaw was brought for utility back then and one thing you'd have to do is solo lock down a mob so id have to hold off my my rotation to save BtE for when a cast was going to go off if I didnt have gouge, blind, or vanish

vocal surge
#

Dang

outer sky
#

And then there was the classic BtE in the sanguine

#

Just thing guys

#

One day we'll be in this discord

#

Just as disgruntled

#

Saying

#

"Remember when sub had to spend combo points to farm dance CDR?"

vocal surge
#

Lol

outer sky
#

By then sub will probably just have shadow dance converted to one of those personal buffs that last an hour you apply in the starting gate

#

And have a pvp talent that lets it ignore stun DRs

stoic spruce
#

We're devolving but skipping all the good stuff

#

Back to mop but didn't get BFA or Legion

#

No lube or anything

outer sky
#

I feel like they fucked a lot of shit up in legion

vocal surge
#

Technically WoD

stoic spruce
vocal surge
#

Since WoD was them setting up all the specs to how they were in Legion

stoic spruce
#

Sounds familiar

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

You know what I liked the most about Legion? Every spec felt like a fleshed out sub-spec of their class

outer sky
#

Legion is when Combat became Outlaw. And its also when they reworked sub rogue to be what it is today

stoic spruce
#

Well not everyones a winner

#

Unholy was a loser as well

#

Strong but still

vocal surge
#

I thought Unholy had major dubs

#

In Legion

#

With its always available army of the dead

stoic spruce
#

Only time it had wounds right

#

Oh and belcher

#

That was cool

outer sky
vocal surge
#

Rip

stoic spruce
#

That's awesome

vocal surge
#

What season was that?

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

...

vocal surge
#

Ah

stoic spruce
#

Dude

#

Ngl

#

I think seasons should be longer again

vocal surge
#

Nah

stoic spruce
#

These short seasons I feel created the cosmetic farming that this game caters too now. There's so many filler mogs, mounts, etc that have drastically declined in quality since they sped up release cadence.

vocal surge
#

Imo, the fact we have 3d model capabilities but the devs still deciding to spray pain the body texture instead hurts

stoic spruce
#

Yeah that's annoying

outer sky
#

Feel like season length is more of a pain point for PvP players since the brackets have passive inflation and every reward is locked behind numerical rating. That means all things being equal rewards are easier to get in longer seasons than shorter seasons because theres more time for inflation to increase.

#

Kind of incentivizes not playing

vocal surge
#

Yeee

stoic spruce
#

How do easier rewards incentivize not playing?

#

There's been a pretty good handful of seasons where that's not the case

#

Especially in this day and age when no one cares about prestige of something

outer sky
vocal surge
outer sky
#

Just running out the clock until shits as easy as it can be

stoic spruce
#

Well pvps been more dead for the most part since the shorter seasons so idk

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Like the ongoing repocalypse

potent pivot
#

many people have tried telling them to put in a modernized elo system

#

or even a watchamacallit

stoic spruce
#

Even a doohickey

dark stump
potent pivot
#

a uhhhhhhhh

#

the thingy where u play the game and earn thingies for playing

outer sky
potent pivot
#

not renown but similar

stoic spruce
#

You're in your own on this one

potent pivot
#

battle pass

stoic spruce
#

Oh yeah

vocal surge
#

The PvErs gonna moan

stoic spruce
#

I think renown would be a safer option

vocal surge
#

if they're mount/mog collectors

#

and hate PvP

potent pivot
#

no1 cares

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

this is all the stuff LoL does

stoic spruce
#

Even if they don't admit it

potent pivot
#

and they have a good elo system

dark stump
# potent pivot

didn't reduce the reward from the chest because "it cost them more money than they gain"

potent pivot
#

idk

stoic spruce
#

Well this would mean Blizz would also have to implement it well

dark stump
#

coming from blizzard it wouldn't even be added xD

potent pivot
#

all i'm saying is

#

ppl like venruki etc

#

have been asking for this kinda stuff for a decade

#

nothin ever happens

#

every season/expansion since i came back in SL

stoic spruce
#

Trickz

#

I'm telling you

potent pivot
#

they've all repeatedly said that kinda shit KEKL

stoic spruce
#

Midnight is WoD 2.0 and they're gonna make a ton of massive game wide changes and it'll be good again

#

In TLT

potent pivot
#

yea ok buddy

stoic spruce
#

Why is every spec so boring and dumb?

potent pivot
#

i'm just gonna send blizzard -$20M with a note

#

"fix pvp lazies"

dark stump
potent pivot
#

duh

dark stump
#

bring back old arcane plz

stoic spruce
#

Y'all need foresight

#

Frfr

potent pivot
#

???

#

foresight for what

dark stump
#

care to develop ?

potent pivot
#

there's eleventy talents for each spec in the game

stoic spruce
#

It's a pattern

potent pivot
#

what are they gonna do next

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

class tree apex talents ?????

stoic spruce
#

Borrowed power

#

No hero trees are gone, talent trees remade

potent pivot
dark stump
#

i think i'm too tired or too high to understand

outer sky
#

Why dont they just make the game good now instead of waiting for future expansions to do all these amazing things? Are they like pausing for dramatic effect or something?

stoic spruce
#

They just like me fr

vocal surge
#

To make selling points probably

stoic spruce
#

They probably don't have time

dark stump
stoic spruce
#

Make a problem
Fix it next expac
Profit

#

Ggs go next

dark stump
#

it always been because of the money

stoic spruce
#

No way

#

Why would a company try to make money?

outer sky
#

Idk i think they'd make more money if the game was just perpetually good so people would stop unsubbing and new players would sub

dark stump
potent pivot
#

wonder if the game even makes it past TLT tbh

stoic spruce
#

Maybe if content patches weren't 3 months long

outer sky
stoic spruce
potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Or something big, maybe not a reset

potent pivot
#

now everyone wants longer seasons with more polished stuffs

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

No, like actual gameplay stuff. Idk it feels like the end of an era.

stoic spruce
#

TLT sounds very close ended and they're adding all this stuff to classes that in no way shape or form will age well. What on earth could they possibly do after TLT? Much less Midnight

dark stump
#

joke aside wow rlly needs change pvp or story wise

stoic spruce
#

They've done all the raids that people wanted

dark stump
#

they need to make story more gore like classis or wotlk with kel tuzad

stoic spruce
#

Goblin raid, erc

#

Etc

#

Light\void expac

dark stump
potent pivot
#

everyone get ready for WoW2, brought to you by Epic Games

dark stump
stoic spruce
#

You stop that right now

#

It's always been trash

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

What's their goal

outer sky
#

They also got more explicit after that. In February 2025, Holly Longdale said Blizzard was building “the foundations for the next 20 years and beyond,” described several initiatives as long-term, and said the team now has dedicated efforts around things like Housing and Social alongside expansions.

Then in January 2026, Blizzard again described The Last Titan only as the third and final installment of the Worldsoul Saga, not the end of WoW, and said Housing was built to “grow and evolve over the years.”

Oh I meant retcon SL in the sense that they originally framed it as though the Jailer was actually manipulating Sargeras and the Dread Lords the whole time and was actually the main bad guy throughout all of wow lore

# dark stump can i get a summary plz

The OP’s theory is that Shadowlands is using Norse mythology as a template. He argues the Jailer is basically a Loki analogue: a powerful death-related figure who is chained in his own realm, the Maw.

He then focuses on serpent/cycle symbolism. He connects the serpent carving in Waycrest Manor to Jormungandr, and says Oribos sounds like Ouroboros, so he thinks Blizzard is hinting at a cosmic serpent representing the cycle of life and death.

From there, he maps Sylvanas to Sigyn, because of the hooded/tear-mark visual similarity, but says Sylvanas is not the caretaker — she’s the liberator helping free the Jailer.

So his bottom-line theory is: Sylvanas and the Jailer want to break the life/death cycle itself, which would “free” everyone from it, but would also wreck reality

Let's say her goal was to take over say Kalimdor

And she succeeded

Reclaiming it would be interesting to endure

Because we know she's an actual real threat

That's what makes Arthas so cool, he walked the walk.

# storm rock outlaw

Pretty sure the first conquest piece you’d buy is legs to catalyst into tier set, you can refer to murlok.io or by checking outlaw rogues on drustvar

#

Not sure what you mean by color

storm rock
#

you can buy it at the conquest vendor it say it turns regular items to higher ilvl in arena

potent pivot
#

Oh the lacquer and varnish

#

Those are only for adding pvp ilvl to pve tier set

But yeah generally that is a good thing to do

storm rock

I’ve only really touched sub and a little assa so far this season

These are the recommended stat priorities for each spec in PvP. Please keep in mind that having suboptimal stats on some pieces such as tier set pieces is not the end of the world.

potent pivot

Bare minimum is 200 to get you going with 1 extra global of dance

#

600-700 is 2 extra globals

#

Should at least get you started with first buys etc

potent pivot
minor cape
#

so like

minor cape
#

most items will be haste

#

basically

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

both breakpoints (200vs600) are fine really

#

higher haste can be a bit better for shuffle type shit

#

higher overall dps

potent pivot

iirc i have like 5 pieces that are mastery, then 2 crit daggers until we can craft daggers later on

They won’t , just like they won’t enforce literacy. They already reduced 4x now while elevating other classes. Choosing not to practice literacy is either ignorance or narrative/ perception bias in attempts to swings on personal agendas.
