Remember every 1% of vers means you take 0.5% less damage

willow tartan
#

still having ptsd from a dk / warr / warr / hpala / evoker lobby from

outer sky
#

So most people sit around 20%

#

Im at 18%

#

So i take 1% more damage than average

#

I may lose 1/200 games because of that

#

But I will win maybe 5/200 games because of the extra damage I put that vers towards

#

At least that's how I justify it

#

Unless you have a breakpoint with a certain amount of stats, like sub needing ~700 haste to get 2 extra dance globals or something, then these 1 or 2% stat variations really dont matter that much

willow tartan
#

yeah, tbf i cant remember when i won a game because i was extra tanky

potent pivot
#

you'd run like 5 or 10% more

#

assa is just as squishy as outlaw and most outlaws are running 25-30%+ vers

outer sky
#

No combat stam, has to vanish for damage/utility

#

But as assa I win most of my games by globaling somebody in a kidney with buttons most heavily buffed by mastery

#

Outlaw does not

#

So I play to buff that window as much as possible

#

I win more often because of the extra damage than I lose because of the extra squishiness

#

Calculated risk

#

Im also not saying everyone should do it

#

Im saying low vers is perfectly viable and can be optimal for some people and now that conq is uncapped its worth trying

#

But obv if you feel too squishy then stack more vers

dark moon
#

you have a lot more mastery than me, but im not fully geared, still have bloody token pieces etc

outer sky
#

And I use engi boots and wrists with mastery

dark moon
#

shoulders and insignia

outer sky
#

That explains it

dark moon
#

i should prolly buy badge too, for bigger kingsbanes

outer sky
#

At least into comps where you can't cleave very efficiently

#

Kingsbane is like the perfect CD to pair with badge. It lasts 14s and badge lasts 15. Badge legit covers the entire kingsbane window

#

They also reduced the conquest cost of the dps trinkets this xpac

#

525 conquest now

#

They used to always be 700

dark moon
#

yeah, need 100 conq and i can buy it

#

i played badge s2 s3 tww, it was very nice

outer sky
#

S2 I didnt even spec into deathmark LOL

20% in pvp bro

you aren't scaled up to pvp ilvl

dark moon

go to the pvp dummies

#

bro got triple tagged

ive just hit the target dummies and % stayed the same, does it just dont display it ?

dark moon

You need to hit the pvp ones

dark moon

you're hitting the pve dummies

strange kestrel

oops XD

they are here

Might be a silly question but how important is 4 set for sub? I've been away from pvp for so long that I don't even know anymore lol..

My thinking is that getting Vers & mastery is more important over 4p in pvp for both survival and increased damage with finishers but wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong lol.

FYI = Still have 8 pieces of honor gear so still fresh

lethal roostBOT
#

Assassination: 2 set - Helm/Shoulders
Outlaw: 4 set - Helm/Shoulders/Gloves/Legs
Subtlety: 4 set - Helm/Shoulders/Gloves/Legs

autumn quiver
#

That I know but I am asking how important is it to get 4 set? Should I be getting it as quick as I can like I would in PvE or should I try and fill the other slots with conquest gear first

potent pivot
#

Always

so its mostly personal preference based on your playstyle

ocean thunder
#

Wonder how much better is the crafted dagger over the crit one - i know mastery is the best, but is it worth sacrificing vers in a meta where we are kinda pounded?

gleaming sentinel

haste sub doesnt feel bad in shuffle at all

spring bough

dev DH still feeeling hella big out here lol

Parked my toons at 2.1 so far

#

Keys till .07 then free 2.3 at this rate

Maybe even before .07

dark kernel
#

I just finished my outlaw gear and now I'm finishing my mastery set for secondary

gleaming sentinel
#

I like playing all 3 specs, keeps it interesting

dark kernel
#

I think high haste sub in real 3s is a meme though

gleaming sentinel
#

Yea I can see that

dark kernel
#

You don't have enough setup to make use of the tech on every dance

#

So doing mor damage in less globals is superior

gleaming sentinel
#

The sub I hit elite on is full mastery

analog tapir

but with this build wich poison do i have active?

ocean thunder

its so hard to measure though

jaunty osprey
#

Not really

#

Deathstalker only gives you 20% rupture damage really nowadays

#

Using your mark is still annoying even with MFD

#

you CAN use deathstalker if you’re playing flying daggers and dropping mutilate talents when facing certain comps

#

But that’s really it

More and more people are playing my assa talents now 😎

#

regarding blitz/rbg: are there updated and good ressources out there to learn how to play the role better? i am subscribed to skillcapped but it seems they havent updated the guides yet (esp. for assa / outlaw)

#

curently mostly tasked with defending / inc, and while not doing terrible, i have no idea what i'm doing

spring bough
#

big moran too busy queing sin on shuffle to write up the new guides lol

willow tartan
#

bwahaha, well, i wonder if I could just watch the old stuff

#

arena prob changed quite a bit but playing the role of a rogue in blitz / rbg probably didn't as drastically?

hope you have better luck finding a 3s team than I did

#

I'm so sad I was about to hit 2300 but my warrior threw

#

decided to go mage all game instead of lock for some reason

#

why would you go frost mage as a warrior

I tried it earlier and it feels extremely clunky

Just

Put it back to how it was before

It was fine

I think the hero tree is just unplayable until the mark becomes a buff

outer sky
#

They fixed what wasnt broken

quaint cedar
#

you know I saw people whining when the tuning changes were announced because "rogue got buffs"

#

except no one plays deathstalker lol

#

means nothing

outer sky
#

I agree it should be a buff but it doesnt have to be a buff to be playable

#

They just needed to not fuck with it

quaint cedar
potent pivot
#

But they changed it to be worse instead of better yea

potent pivot
#

Even though fire isn’t really played right?

quaint cedar
#

yeah

#

and frostfire tree got buffed I think? But everyone is playing the other one

#

spellslinger I think

#

so probably won't matter at all

outer sky
#

Hellcaller buffs

quaint cedar
#

I was surprised ret got nerfed

outer sky
quaint cedar
#

Honestly think ret needs to lose some shit in its kit. They can be so OP in shuffle if they are doing good damage

potent pivot
#

Haven’t seen anyone complaining that lock got “buffed”

#

Just people crying that rogue and mage got “buffed”

potent pivot
quaint cedar

and whatever spec is dominant at the start of the season usually gets torched

blizz trolled me again

9 points away from elite and I get stuck with a R1 hunter in my lobby who goes 6-0

potent pivot
#

Is it just me or do more specs feel squishy this expac than tww

quaint cedar
#

A lot of specs lost defensives

potent pivot
#

Yeah

#

I feel like one of the only melee that’s actually tanky is sub rn

#

Maybe ret

quaint cedar
#

If they can remember to press one of their million defensives lol

potent pivot
#

Yeah

quaint cedar
#

even outlaw is pretty squishy now

#

just most people don't know it

spring bough
#

getting smoked

#

back to the DH lol

#

doing like 15k plus dps over the next on the DH lol

quaint cedar
#

the gap between honor gear and conquest gear has gotten crazy the last few expansions. Like the ilvl difference is the same but for some reason it makes a bigger difference than it used to

#

at least that's what it feels like

#

I remember in SL I could play with honor gear or base conquest pretty easily against people with fully upgraded conquest gear

potent pivot
#

Having more agi/stats feels decently impactful

#

Because everyone has so much stam

quaint cedar
#

Yeah that makes sense

potent pivot
#

Sometimes it feels like you can’t kill shit in full blues, depending on what spec you’re playing

quaint cedar
#

Might be a game design thing too. Less skill expression now imo

spring bough

DH feelin better than ever

#

chase some dude down rip one collapsing star and GG

feels that way as a healer too if your gear is too low

It’s my turn to grind outlaw elite

#

Gotta get off the valorant grind

outer sky
potent pivot
#

It’s def more tanky than fury

severe helm
#

just like relative to all specs

potent pivot
potent pivot
#

They changed ignore pain and now they don’t even really run it

#

I kinda think it’s hard to say a spec is tanky if they feel required to run 30%+ vers

severe helm
#

well I think its mainly a relative thing

#

if they are harder to kill than all the other specs

#

then theyre tanky

#

even if they can still die

potent pivot
#

I don’t really think they are

#

Maybe compared to the very squishiest shit

severe helm
#

what melee would be tankier than arms

#

ret?

potent pivot
#

But even outlaw is more tanky than arms imo

severe helm
#

oh damn

#

thats surprising

#

outlaws biggest dr is 20% lol

#

but I guess it has it often

rough rock
#

i feel like most games i see an arms i just slam him

outlaw doesnt feel tanky into caster cleave

Question if anyone can answer, I’m trying to get back into PvP and I’m 290ilvl full myth pve gear, is there any reason to grind out honor gear besides PvP trinkets? Am I good to start queing into ranked games in my pve gear?

3s with a devo and a resto druid feel good on outlaw

After playing both I def felt more squishy on arms idk

spring bough
#

outlaw feels good survivability wise

molten hedge
#

yea even if i pre dstance and ignore pain it still feels very squishy

#

seems like slayer wasnt playing ignore pain but i thought colossus was maybe im wrong murlok is kinda shit

potent pivot
#

I don’t think anyone really plays ignore pain but not 100% sure

#

I thought it was weird af at first tbh

#

Surely it’s better than the healing talent

dark kernel
#

What innate DR does outlaw have right now that other rogue specs dont

#

I don't recall them gaining anything new. They just have stamina and the weaker feint

spring bough
dark kernel
#

I legitimately believe the "outlaw is tanky" is just living on from past expansions and that makes people ignore them.

#

Sub rogue and Assa playing double vanish and feint talent make them objectively more tanky

stoic spruce
#

He didn't say Outlaw was as tanky or more

#

Just Outlaw is tanky

dark kernel
#

I guess that's true, but it just feels weird. Like in comparison to what, you know?

#

Like outlaw is only more tanky than......unholy/frost DK for melee and Survival hunter if you count it as melee

#

WW maybe too

runic laurel
#

They also generally have a few % extra dr from vers than other rogue specs and grapple can help avoid a ton of dmg

molten hedge
#

feral in shuffle is paper also

#

enha is pretty squishy also

potent pivot
#

It doesn’t really have any more inherent tankiness than the other rogue specs, but that wasn’t the point of the discussion

gleaming sentinel
#

outlaw tank spec confirmed

spring bough
#

could u imagine the forums if that happened

stoic spruce
spring bough
#

you tell him popo

stoic spruce
#

Because it's ALWAYS "what about X Y Z spec?"

#

When none of those were mentioned garf_sit

#

Like saying X is [insert trait] somehow invalidates every other spec that has the same trait. But multiple things can be true at the same time

#

Man this vacation opened my 3rd eye

#

This game blows

nova sentinel
#

If I mostly just do solo and rbgs, am I better off as Outlaw or Fury?

potent pivot
#

I don’t think either of them are super great for blitz/rbg

nova sentinel
#

All of that. Solo queues though, no guild or team

#

What would you recommend?

gilded gulch
#

isnt arms better

#

than fury

potent pivot
#

Arms is def gonna be better for blitz still I’m sure

potent pivot
gilded gulch
#

i mean historically neither fury or outlaw are great on average

#

warrior just w keys people though

#

less responsibility

potent pivot
#

Yeh

Y'all?

In any content

if you dont want to hit/ninja bases dont play rogue though

unless outlaw isnt good at that

# severe helm I think healing gives perspective

Undoubtedly. One of my first shuffles ever healing. On hpri. I have 2 warriors against devoker and destro lock. They both mount up and ride up the ramp on nokhudon. One leaps to the left to attack Devoker. One leaps to the right. I grip both back bc they’re splitting my los. They both charge opposite sides of the map, and both die without pressing wall. That was about it for me on my healing journey

severe helm
#

that

moment

when you trash talk your healer

#

think about all the dipshits they had to go through

Do you know Kleptomancy?

dark moon
#

have they made any chances to how the game forms the lobby?

outer sky
#

Think theyre sticking with this

dark moon
outer sky
#

Its more predictable

#

But theres 1 glaring issue

#

With this

#

Like the way they do the lobby shuffling now

#

If one dps wins the 1st 4 games

#

Then that means another dps mustve lost the first 4 games

#

And after the 1st 4 games we dont yet know if that winner is the lobbys hero or if the loser is the zero

#

But that gets in that persons head

#

The one who lost 4 games

#

And they start playing like they're the 0

#

When the other guy is the hero

#

Ive seen this many times

grave basin
#

Literally just the example i gave of the aff lock lol

outer sky
#

It happens all the time

dark moon
#

searing glare should get removed

outer sky
#

Yeah 10000%

dark moon
#

4 seconds of that + stuns + blinds + loh + bop/magic bop + freedom + bubble + wog

dark moon
#

that too, yeah

#

ok tell me the strats now

#

do we go war ?

#

i have no idea how to play with a ret

outer sky
#

Yeah warr but you can swap on the dk and pally too

dark moon
#

i want to swap pala

#

okay

outer sky
#

Swap pally on sac

#

If you record your games I can review them for you

dark moon
#

i forgot to set the recording thingy

#

yeah now im just tilted and throwing the games

@outer sky i just played a double ret lobby at 2150 CR, can you guess how many sancs were used?

#

thinking about faction changing my disc priest to undead or maybe racechange to nelf, voidelf feels so useless

dark moon

ofc zero bops on me

#

zero saps too

outer sky
dark moon
#

everybody is just pressing w

#

nah they were just throwing the game

#

they win vs training my healer

#

but when i suggest they said we cant

#

thats it for the day

outer sky
#

Damn

dark moon
#

i hate playing with ruskys

#

i sapped zero times

#

my guys are just rushing in

#

like complete morons

outer sky
#

Happens to all of us

dark moon
#

this tilts me the most of anything

#

literally means that they dont want to win

outer sky
dark moon
#

yeah

#

we can actually have fun if rets and pres evokers are not in the game

outer sky
#

Ret is DISGUSTING

wanton breach
outer sky
#

Pres only has 1 button they can press while stunned and they have no mitigation they just get globaled without trinket or commune. They cant even wall while silenced. They can just die unless they have a ret to make them immortal

wanton breach
#

nooone even looks their way most of the time

dark moon
#

the state of shuffle is

#

logged on alt demo lock to play like 1 lobby

#

i face blood dk that only disrupts me

#

and is 2nd on dmg in arena

#

actually no

#

1st

#

did more dmg than ww monk and dev dh

wanton breach
#

a lot of that is probably padding on your pets

#

dunno if blood dk gets funnel?

dark moon
#

i swear pvp is bad on my mental

#

like i would actually feel like a different person if i didnt have the damn pvp itch

#

fuck my life

It's hella fast to catch up on gear rn

For taking your mind off pvp

#

And just blast

# dark moon dont twist my words, but it so happens to get my games thrown from certain peopl...

People say "damn russians" when someone throws their game just because it's easy to identify people from russian realms (because obviously cyrillic). Nobody cares that a russian speaker from any country could be playing on those realms. For some reason I don't see anyone saying "damn italians" when someone from Pozzo dell Eternita throws a game. People tunnel vision on cyrillic letters and go angry and political.
I've had a guy trolling a shuffle lobby cause he "refuses to play with russians". He didn't care he's sabotaging everyone and himself by doing this.

#

I also never played on russian realms btw so I haven't experienced many issues my friends mentioned.

!spec

All Specs are good and have niches and strengths that they play to. All three specs are looking viable with Assassination/Subtlety being preferred in raids. Mythic+ meta has not solidified yet but Assassination looked promising during beta.

Be aware that Simulations are a tool to be used to compare things like talents/gear/rotations, they are not the definite answer to what is meta or not meta. While outlaw is ahead in sims right now, especially dungeonslice, you have to take a step back and realize these are synthetic/generic situations that we use as a baseline. Dungeonslice has always been a great showing for outlaw simply due to the fight style matching well with the spec. This is not unusual or unheard of.

You can view logs of the raid when it comes out Here, or view the mythic+ run leaderboard Here.

# dark moon pvp lfg or pve?

I've heard about pve mainly cause my friends don't pvp. Probably applies everywhere. People just unselect russian realms in lfg.

solid kernel
#

I want burst

potent pivot
#

if you play shuff mainly, high haste is good

#

for blitz, the ~200 haste build

solid kernel
#

for 3's or 2's?

potent pivot
#

for 3s it depends on comp

solid kernel

2's 200, ok ok got u

for pve comps high haste

dark kernel
#

Dude inflation is no joke

#

Last week 2300 in shuffle was top 30

#

It's now like top 80

copper maple
#

I feel like the initial mmr you get decides how much rating most of us can really push.

#

Solo queues are often a 50/50 thing in games and you can't really climb in shuffle by going 3-3 on unless your mmr is above your cr

#

Unless you play some giga broken spec, but I don't think there's any busted enough to push anyone to high rating (like early dragonflight ret lol).

I have played very little pvp compared to tww, but it feels so weird

Legend is what 100 wins above 2.3k?

iron viper

They soon rack up though, just gotta beat the queue time

We shall see. After we kill lura I think ill m+ and shuffle only for the rest of the season

solid kernel
#

Alrighty went ahead and geared myself up

#

What should I change @potent pivot

#

Reduce vers and add more mastery?

#

I have the minimal amount of haste i can get

#

Trying to know the best best, like vers % to go for,

#

U told me 20, so i shoulndt try to go for 25 right?

#

Im still missing enchantments, and gems , thats why im trying to figure it out 1st

potent pivot
#

Like the actual gear pieces

solid kernel
potent pivot
#

But yeah you can go a bit less vers

#

Lemme see

#

Those are the vers mast pve daggers right

solid kernel
#

Yup

#

From the raid

potent pivot
#

You have tier legs and not chest

#

And 1 conq ring instead of 2 crafted

solid kernel
#

Does it change something?

#

Ik its heavier on vers

potent pivot
#

More mastery on crafted ring

solid kernel
#

Ok ok

potent pivot
#

And from tier chest

solid kernel
#

Really the sweet spot for VERS is 20% from what im understanding

potent pivot
#

For sub yeah

#

Sub is quite tanky

solid kernel
#

ok ill cook something

#

Thx again trickz

#

Idk why I thought i had to go for 25-30%

potent pivot
solid kernel
#

Ya, i dont have any other source of haste

#

other than my human race that gives me 2% more

potent pivot
#

But the tier legs and gems are pushing you a bit high

solid kernel
#

Cause of my Gems

#

I have some Haste gems 😛

#

Im switching it up

potent pivot
#

Ye and legs

potent pivot
solid kernel
#

hmm ok ok

#

the % damage u get from more vers

#

is not more worth

#

than the burst from mastery

#

then

potent pivot
#

Naw it’s terrible

solid kernel
#

lmfao got u

potent pivot
#

Haste and mastery are better for damage itself

#

vers would be the worst dmg stat in the game for almost every spec in the game

#

if it weren't for crit dmg being nerfed in pvp

solid kernel
#

i see

#

im cooking something rq i think its going to be good

#

If vers was your best DPS stat your spec would stack it indefinitely in pve as well cuz it has a defensive component to it too

#

It would be op

#

Vers inherently should be tuned to be one of your worst stats in terms of DPS value

#

They've fucked up and missed the mark though in the past on a few specs like WW and outlaw

potent pivot

thought i was looking at outlaw for a minute

why is almost every sub using tier pants lmao

gleaming sentinel
#

prob cuz it makes it easy to get 200 haste?

#

those, shoulders and trinket

#

idk

solid kernel
#

Glove has Crit Haste (2 stats i dont want)

#

Pants has Haste Vers, (1stack i dont want)

#

7 haste difference from both, 1 I garantee mastery over crit

#

but i get it that its 7 stat completely lost if its haste
