a bit ye
hopefully ret starts being a lil less popular

what r we gonna do when u still auto lose without a ret on ur team
idk man, i refuse to queue warr/ret
im sticking to my kitty cleave - cbf lfging to find anything else
dk more alpha
feral 
dk 🤓
no it goes
ret warr rsham lol

but too be fair I hit 2400 before ret patch
then got blasted by rets back down to 2300
we'll allow it, congrats man 

ggs espi
congrats brother i am working on the same rn
games got noticeably easier compared to a few weeks ago
just have to keep pumping and hit some win streaks
US or EU ?
yeah just putting the reps in
even easier after tomorrow
hahaha
america-brain 


You know how Americans are 
sorry cant hear u over the sound of freedom
aussie brain>>>>>>
The glorious sound of AR-15s
You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky. You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets.

real, elected US representative btw 
its all a clown show
US politics is a fever dream
majority of the planet is ran by geriatric dorks who can barely use a smartphone
upper age limit should be norm
for elected positions
but then POTUS Joseph R. Biden, President Elect, Commander-In-Chief, Slayer of Russia, Saviour of Ukraine, Bane of the Republicans, Harbinger of Inflation wouldn't be president

cringe
yeah the ret lobbies are getting easier to tolerate holy shit
i think arms/spriest/rsham might be the nail in the coffin for countering rets tomorrow btw
yep feelsgoodman.jpeg
For the blind, Arms is the light.
For the hungry, Arms is the bread.
For the thirsty, Arms is the fountain.
For the sick, Arms is the cure.
For the prisoner, Arms is the key.
For the liar, Arms is the truth.
For the traveler, Arms is the way.
gala are you pushing 3s amigo
i think glad is going to be much easier after tuning tomorrow lol
ofc
banging my head into the wall as kitty cleave 
whats ur mmr at rn
im too embarrassed to say, we've dropped so omega hard
i played a bit of kittycleave at like 2.1 it was fucking hilarious deleting the fistweaver teams
but its hard against anything else rn
we're also tanking atm to bring our healer up on his rsham
brother i have been a serial duelist since legion s7
we were playing with hpriest... literally the least meta team in NA right now
we're 1900 atm, been fluctuating between 1850-2000+ since ret buffs kekW
priest gonna be good again tomorrow
yeah dude
ret buffs caused me to start fluctuating a bunch lol
my feral friend dropped 400 rating as jungle LOL
jfc
from 2300 to 1900
ye jungle fell off so hard with ret meta
feral in general fell off pretty hard imo... gets tunneled super hard
i really hope s2 goes a bit smoother
100% 
with ss deflating its gonna be funny seeing the forum posts and copium
"I was 3100 SS S1...barely touching 2.2k now"
2.2 is generous
i hope they deflate the fuck out of it so 2.4 actually means something decent in ss
maybe
also yea wow pvp is shit
yk things are bad when I'm less stressed out playing PoE than wow pvp
PvE lol
whats the best target in disc /rsham- ele - feral?
feral?
@fresh valve i did good on the exam :D
get some
Yeah I gotta work on my PvP
I think I struggle a lot with positioning and getting taken advantage of by long-range-classes
yo, I feel retarded, I casted poly on dh but the the game said "immune"
what gives immunity?
nvm, I think plater just doesn't show spellwarding properly
nvm, I am actually retarded, it was glimpse
Should be glad that you got rating at all
Was gonna get 6 wins but then the mage decides it's time to stand still infront of the hunter and not do anything
You gotta work on your uptime tho
Dont forget to apply hamstring all thr time :)
Charging between targets just to apply rend seems a little silly
Oh yeah, hamstring prio nr 1
And if someone runs away, hit the closest target
Until you can engage the main again
Dont just stand around sucking toes
Yea dont
Rend isnt high dmg
And you want to keep charge to actual engage
Yeah
Fighting that mage was nightmarish
He kept pushing me away and slowing me
And charge was on cooldown the entire fight, so was leap
Idk I still dont like mage as a main target
Mage was really bad, so we targetted him
finally hit 2k ty for all the help yall
Congratulations!
another 100 rating mate for the enchant
Yeah was kinda stuck at 1800 for a bit so it might take longer for 2100 lol
I cannot believe this
I am back in ELO hell
Where teammates rage, break LoS and don't pop cds
as long as you've got the gear and can get enough games in, it's in the bag mate
wild take - this seasons enchant is easily my favourite PvP illusion
imo it's even quite good with the warrior theme
Games not much diff 1800-2100 ss
Keep improving 1% you’ll hit it
If ur not watching ur matches back you are leaving free rating on the table
not worthwhile at that rating tbh
unles you're dying in 30 minute queues
That’s really wild
Considering it looks like shit
you're outta your mind
even if you're one of those bozos that likes the red/green blobs from years ago, it's still easily the 3rd best looking pvp enchant
Maybe I haven’t seen any tmog that it fits in
But the effects are just lacking, if it would be only thr lightning, yea its alright, but the wind thing ruins it
it looks quite good on a lot of simple weapons
Yeah doesnt match the armor at all
nah its actually pretty nice, i like it
just a quick example, looks clean as
way better than dreadflame or primal victory, which are decent, but all 4 Slands enchants were rank garbage
deadset, the cosmetics for season 1 this expac, are probably the best looking we've had since some of the warlords sets
DK's made out like bandits that expac, warriors came up pretty dry imo
Antorus and ToS elite remain best warrior sets of all time
Its dec but doesnt pop so much
Shame I didnt pvp that season
Only armor that matches Taeshalach perfectly
one of my fav, sadly didn't play wod :(
How can i find a rbg communiy
which is at 1k range or smt
Soloq healer is clownfest, soloq dps takes too much time
i wanna take 1 vicious saddle
or 3v3ing is more worth than rbgs?
Vs demo are we even supposed to play unhinged anymore?
Fucking zoo
I feel like you're better off with ep or something else
Amplify curse is also pretty awful
Hmm I see
do you think which one is the fastest way to fill the bar
3v3, solo shuffle or rbgs
as dps
I never played unhinged vs pet classes
i swear solo queue time has got way worse but i guess we're close to season end
must just be loads of people hitting 2400 then never queueing again
first 6-8 weeks, and then 2nd and 3rd last week of season are when most people are playing
go hard, hit your goals, and then maybe pop back in for a bit at the end
right now the ret thing is probably pushing people away a lot too
yea ngl i havent queued in weeks
doesnt help that there's nothing in ss to play for after 2400 either
R1 :)
there's like a 1k cr range between rewards
half hour queues also kind of demoralizing
legion elite sets went hard
I thought about going hard on it at the start of the season but just couldn't be bothered - though that was before the account changes blizzard made and getting busy with life
You really think we’ll see more rets after today? More dps nerfs going thru
no more tuning for rest of season probably
i could see more ret adjustments next season tho
Why is a demo allowed to nearly perma amp curse of weak me all game
Lock in general
because avg warlock player dies opener
Lo
i bloody hope so
even with the crit nerfs, they have a defensive and utility toolkit that can dampen and delay games to eternity if needed
ya surprised they let that go live
ret actually just drags every game out
an extra few minutes
because they themselves couldn't die
and prevented teammates from dying
the counterplay was "hope they don't press" and "just find your own ret" lmao
i really dont like how they handled this weeks' tuning as well - they focused on numbers as opposed to the stupidly low CDs
also watch dp and sac nerf somehow affect the other specs lmaoo
hpal in eternal shambles
probably, it is a smol indie company after all 
but ye, DP and sac both should have been made at least 90s instead of hitting numbers
judge dispel needs to be removed for ret entirely
after that i think they're okay
are the ret nerfs live already on eu? Or tmrw?
tomorrow
Isn’t eu reset in Wednesday
eu 
Arms
vers>haste=crit>mastery
does this apply to enchants and gems aswell? use vers on all of them or do we go our choice of haste/crit on those?
and weapon sophic devotion?
there are ret nerfs comming ?
yeah. warriors untouched.
same place you get your other tier pieces. you just convert a pvp item, conquest or honor item
the "converts to ilvl 424 in pvp" does not get removed when converting, but stats change and it will be set piece. sadly gems get removed.
no
also tanked 200 the past two weeks xD
Lost 300 in 2 days
🤏🏽
LFG grind wasnt easy but now i have like 10 tags im down to play with constantly
hoping i can take this to next season as well and snag that mount
i might still go for r1 shuffle if im not even close to r1 3s
I mean 3k shuffle is pretty much like 3s, no?
r1 cutoff for 3s is so fucking low im gonna go for it
imagine my first gladiator is r1

3s with the added spice of no comms
Blizzard had a great season that they just shit on with retmeta
it wasnt that great
lol
3s was so fucking dead dude
at least during this we have games happening
I seriously wish they fix the queues
i remember before 10.0.7 i'd log on like a friday afternoon and there was 6-7 groups in lfg
Because their cr inflation is traumatized by s2 sl being so overinflated
yes
Just put in bot healers
I'd prefer bot heals
yeah ret was busted but we had like 5x the amount of groups in lfg playing LOL
Probably better anyways
got people playing again
combine that with the season end being announced and 3s feels as alive as it did the first couple months
5min queue, if it doesn’t pop give me a bot and let’s go
so as usual, best time to play is beginning and end of a season
Bot heals will probably use their CDs
i wasnt queing 3s until like 2 weeks ago, yeeted straight to 2100 and been kinda pingponging a bit
I can't tell you how many times I'm tapped on defensives and the god damn rsham is holding onto link
i cri everytime

Love it when healers hold CDs for the next round
“Oh look, enemy team popped everything. Take this flash heal brother.”
oh boy i cant wait for the streamer tierlist garbage content hitting my youtube feed today
"TOP COMPS FOR GLADIATOR 10.0.7"
Supateases tier lists are Jim Cramer level dogshit
“Man you have to kite the demo lock.”
“Just kite bro.”

Soijack venruki is an RMP apologist

I have an ele friend who can zug enh
I might try some turbo
Lavalash is low-key busted
turbo prob gonna be nutty
DK being buffed means turbo is good if DK is relevant
wow im so shocked:


Do zoomers consume this
Does it have a glad carry service advertised too
Remember when maldiva got permaed for rmt and blizz let him play again for some reason
i dont think blizz can stop it lol
@elfin surge why weren't you banned
banning rmt would prob ban 1/3rd of the ladder at this point LOL
Someone’s gotta pay for the 18hr/day schedule
i think after that big banwave in sl s2 that hit a bunch of innocent people they are gonna be real reluctant
but they got that one carry site knocked out so who knows
why would i be banned
For being too cool for school
😎
RMT is the bread and butter of high level PvE & PvP
yeah its sad
I mean tbh, it’s like that every game and if you’re good at something and someone is willing to pay for your services, I don’t see the problem
queuing into same people every season doing rmt selfplays
most don't even need to make a new acc
yeah im gonna be devils advocate here and agree
lot of their buyers had their mounts yoinked tho lmao
curious to see how hard they crack down this season
Modern mp gaming is pretty dogshit, but relativism kills the enjoyment
I guess it is gitgud at some level
i saw a fucking devastation evoker hardstuck at 1600 in solo shuffle but he had glad mount


pilot is ez ban
S2 SL
maybe he did it on an alt?
nope he had the games on that evoker
2400
o
i posted it in here
xD
Shuffle is harder confirmed


RBG rating gives it away
every fucking time
I like his 2s rating
I haven't met a more disgusting corner of the internet than RBG mains
ah yes honor 50 900 games at 1400 shuffle and 50-50 glad wins at 2400
He played the shuffle games first and then bought a new gamer chair
yup this happens in pve too pretty badly
i used to sell CM Gold during MOP and WOD for gold
and a ton of people wanted to pay me cash
said hell no gimme dat gold
Lmfao
Hahaha
Took a month to muster queue anxiety
i had a buddy who'd play league accounts and a lot of buyers were like return customers
because they'd get boosted then play and tank
then get boosted again
then get "unlucky"
and need another boost
yeah..vicious cycle
like boiii
Do they convert cheevs into dates with girls or something
It’s like people buying boosts in league
or be ok with not being high elo
Then they’re high Diamond with gold experience
E-thot economy runs on glad mounts
honestly feels better to reach 1800 yourself than to get carried
feels like an achievement :D

same with glad
honestly getting carried probs fastest way to improve so i don't blame people for trying it at least once
self play yeah prob
i play with friend who has never pvp'd before and just structure games in such a way that they just get to spam damage and
Coaching is fine I guess
it's a really good time
o ya
WHY are you playing
i think a lot of people just need that initial framework
pay to play game, pay someone else to play game for you
yeah tbh if i started out in legion with coaching id prob be multiglad by now
i just started this season too :D
u don't know why u died 30 seconds in like u do in pvp where u stood in swirly ya feels
unguided
never played PvP before
i played like 1000 games to hit 2k in 3s legion just for that elite warrior set
i was SO bad
ya its go in with glad friend to get elite set and basically go up 200 exp in one sitting off what they say/do
nothin clicks faster
than playing with somebody better
legit happened to me during SL S1
Tbh I’d rather pay a better guild to raid with than spend the time with a worse guild wiping and hearing spergs lose their marbels
i was playing with a really good multiglad mage
we did discord and qued a few nights and it was like a permanent +300 mmr for me ever since
724 games here for 1825
had never played rogue much and somebody was like just let team know when u kidney and each kidney is cross onto healer plus offensive cd on kidney'd guy
and went up to like 2500 2s and 2700 3s in a month
felt so cooked that it just hadn't quite clicked for me
but then again that's bfa assa
wait u grinded elite set in 3s instead of ss?
ya when you don't know what to change it's just throwing body at games
SS
looking back i was probably dr'ing stuns, not crossing, shit damage
xD

actually might be rounds idk
yeah rounds not games
Prob rounds
ss is counted by rounds
in your history
700 rounds roughly 115 matches
times that by an avg 25 min que
47 hours
just in que

I did 800 rounds on fury to 2k and then did 80 rounds on arms to 2.1k
Lesson: just play what’s good

thats why i hate solos
i played arms 700 rounds
rest fury
am 1800 now
xd
lesson
get gud
Fury is so much more fun
yessir
Initially I wanted 1800 but now it looks like I can push 2400 so I’ll see if that’s true
My yolo strats not working as well anymore though, so now I actually have to swap targets to win rounds

I'M SICK
Oh my god
Hunter spent all game throwing
He's on his way to die
I charge da shaman, hit him wit da funny cds and obliterate him
I'll be honest, if you're at this mmr, stop blaming the other people constantly
like blaming people on 1.5k mmr for playing bad is pretty pathetic
I see what you're aiming at, but you have got to realise the plays that occur.
And I'm in no way discrediting my own mistakes, refer to my previous chats.
But seeing people rage and throw is extremely demoralising.
I mean, I've posted my gameplay, I am making a conscious effort to improve my gameplay.
Is a geat not allowed to complain?
there's gatekeepers everywhere. you are allowed to share you experience, no matter what MMR you're playing at.
He was swearing in spanish and ran in without turtle all game 💔
Yeah but people are on this mmr for a reason, most of them don't even know better
Well yeah! And I'm no pro-gamer™️ but it can get a little demoralising dropping because a teammate gets angry or doesn't know any better, even with positive feedback.
but at 1500MMR you can also expect people to play badly, so yeah...expect them to throw your games and play good when your opponent, it's a given. move on and next game they are good with you and bad as opponents, don't get triggered is best recommendation when playing through that mmr bracket
Like, anything as simple as "Try to stay within LoS of the healer, I'll help keep you alive best as I can" can set some people off.
Yeah, thankfully queues are long enough for frustration to not build up
But I've got some issues with getting dísorientated and not having good uptime, but besides that I can carry out the status quo, I think.
But yeah, I hope to hit 1800 cr before the new season drops.
Also, you're right, I should check my toxicity and not complain about others' mistake when I make flawed plays all of the time, just the time-sink part being pretty depressing.
Though I do need some advice, many times when I target hunters/evokers they just run away endlessly and I end up exhausting my charges and getting kited. What should I do in order to play around this?
This is the hardest with healers. If you’re with the worse healer the first three rounds it’s really tough to get your mental back for the next 3
I never flame healers 😎
I always do
So real
As ADC main support mains are pure pain
i've mained devoker for the first half of the season and warriors can definately keep up with movement. just never overuse your charges. i haven't played my warrior yet, just finished leveling.
Yeah, that might be it.
Always the worst player in the game, elo inflated, backseat gaming whilst pressing one CD every 20 seconds and literally attached to your back
I often times charge in and they I get cc'd and then charge to keep pressure up, but then the evoker just books it and I'm left with having to walk and tank a disintegrate
Meirl
🤝
The fact that you have time to watch me play and tell me what I should do after the round tells me all I need to know
if for some reason you can't keep up with devoker then swap to other target until you have charge or jump back and then swap again. uptime is important
Yeah, uptime is my main issue, I think
And sometimes I get really disorientated by mob-health etc and lose track of the characters
turn off pet healthbars
Is that possible?
My saviour
i only have totem healthbars turned on, that's an option in plater though, not standard ui. it would be good to see hunter pet health too, but i cba to see DK and WL pets hp bars, so i have pets turned off completely. not something pros would do, but i ain't that either
That's real
I'm gonna get a bunch of alts when +50% xp rolls around, I think
And hopefully that gives me some more insights to PvP as a whole, considering the only thing I'm familiar with is my own class
NOOO TANK ARENA
at some point you might want to see shaman totems to kill them, but you probably have lots of stuff to still work on
I punch the totems when they trap me
kill healing tide and streams aswell. and the warlock totem, the green one.
large bars also help oml
Oh okay
Do I have to auto-attack them or can I kill em with abilities?
abilities is faster. just not the good ones. use whatever that purple abilitiy is called, the filler ability
if it works then i guess it's fine? no clue, like i said, haven't played my warrior in DF yet.
hunters got Master's Call, basically like paladin's freedom
evokers got Hover, also freedom
stun them, do you burst, then if they are running with freedom swap to other target
for totems use heroic throw if low hp like skyfury/counter strike
overpower/rend/ms for healing stream/tide
can also hamstring low hp totems
Oh right! I have to bind heroic throw
Been putting that off
Also oughta bind hamstring to my charge, are there any drawbacks to this?
self/play > ret/warr
So if you don’t want it don’t press it twice
that one dude we called out disappeared
Thingken of recordin nother gameplay....
Overwatch is getting a new patch today, so that's prolly where I'm headed
XD
Watching venruki get farmed by retwarr still playing mage/demo warms my heart
He logged mage to go WW lmao

Ofc
Just like admit it bro
Nobody cares if you self play just don’t act like you didn’t
Ridiculous
ret war is a primitive comp
real wars dont q it

Don’t comp shame me my first glad season pls
ret war gaming
I can’t take it anymore
U slut
Btw I’m like fully onboard with the sks build as my primary build now
Getting a huge 150k hit almost every 30s is wild
sks not bad
Yeah it feels nice
its weird to use
primitive is good
Has some clunk but I’ve adjusted
me no like
Thunderclap sks build 
PvP players installing Gladiolasso when you can just put this on instead
play this in your discord call or something. idk. funny monkey

"You want to join discord?"
"Nah, I'm good."
skullsplitter talents should reapply rend after you cast
yeah but the rotation feels like dogshit

just wish it wasnt so clunky to use because it is fun
is it safe to q today
Queueing has been relaxing
Only one way to find out
Had some really good games in a row! Getting my rank back.
im tryna q some tsg
ret still best spec in the game

Deleting fistweavers in 2s but gettting mongo'd by BM hunters
Put some respect on the Khan's name
What's tsg?
@elfin surge me too but theres not a single freaking DK in LFG
bout to go hit up the DK discord to do some networking
dk war
Donkey kong warrior
im in there
But what does tsg mean
the super gosu's, name of the team that popularized it i think
its the name of the team that won blizzcon as it
Öh ok
I'm gonna level up a bunch of alts as soon as +50% xp hits
But how do you villains cope with tilt?
(That's you, MUD and Nerd)
Tilting is counter productive to owning noobs so i just try to remain cool and examine my own losses. Chances are I'm fucking something up.
So real
Spam enough games and you stop caring as well
It's like ladder anxiety, just gotta queue it up til youre numb
In the ideal world I would remain humble but sometimes I get a little frustrated
FR if you're not recording your games you should be, you'll always find something you can do better
i dont tilt, i fall into a deep depression after tanking cr and I wont stop stressing about it until it's recovered.

Yeah, I ought to be recording my games more often.
Oh did the paladin nerf just drop?
you want more haste or crit with bleed build ?
Pretty sure haste is prioritised.
If you want some depression: your UI needs updating, get to it
Time to manually fix it

Oh btw, what's the opener for the bleed build? @elfin surge
I do the funny charge > stun > avatar > colossus > sharpen+ms
Then I hamstring, troar and bladestorm
teh super gosus, the name of a team who played dk/warr/hpal i think it was back in wotlk
now tsg refers to dk/warr with x healer
Is skullsplitter busted?
it seems good just kind of uhh clunky
although its ticks so don't do it in earthen
or it does nothing lmao
I try to roar asap after colossus avatar
Oh really? I thought it was short for ten second game lmao
Anyone tried skullsplitter spear with crit?
I like bleed too much to swap off now
I mean I just don't do damage into resto-shamans
roar and bleeds in general do nothing into earthen yeah
and they can move earthen
was tempted to try spear with slam stuff and just go rsham vs retwarrs
I can see it - point out of rend into improved slam or sks
the weapon is prolly a big upgrade right ? I have 418 rn
will try this - out of rend, into sks, use sks on cd during overpower & MS
I did droptimizer sims - obviously not perfect but it gives you an idea if you just sim your gear against pvp gear
does that sim the pvp ilvl tho ?
I have a couple pve pieces still
But long story short, weapon is big upgrade, yes, assuming you have verse on and decent ilvl on other pieces
If your weapon has verse and is 418 and you have other stuff in the 405 range with no verse i'd replace that
But that's just me guessing
I still have the blue stun trinket but that shit only adds a couple str right
tried sks, hits like a truck but i can't play it yet
jesus all caster lobbys are a fucking pain
Just had one, literally just tanked the damage, los'd and the caster on my team won the rounds. pain.
go blood and thunder, replace rend with thunderclap, line your SKS with your csmash
easy 140k hits every 30ish seconds
sweeping strikes it into a melee cleave
heres my build
can adjust as needed, drop unhinged for imp execute against demo lock, etc.
feels weird not having a capstone but fatality kinda sucks when not running the execute enhancing talents anyways
can also go massacre
perks of this build, you should never rage starve if spreading rend out with bnt and you also get some sweet self healing
fueled by violence was matching my IP healing by about 50-60%
higher into demo lock/cleaves
I see - I have to get used to the new button
Ran this into mm, bm, afli lock
I love the fact that these trees give so many options - blizzard def did well here
blood and thunder applies rend to people without anyone rended before?
or spreads it?
It applies it
Fueled by violence doesn’t include rend
And you don’t rage starve anyway
Execute talents do not influence fatality, you would press it anyway
It just helps to finish a target off
applies it
it works well in sks build is what im leaning towards
Good reasoning

I’m still climbing with fury somehow 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
What rating?
It's def possible
Just not as good as arms
Sks is amazing - i feel like once I have this down it will be a big gain
classic wow classic world of warcraft classic vanilla wow rogue pvp world pvp daggers spec insane one shot damage in hardcore classic wow #rogue #classic #wow #worldofwarcraft #vanilla #pvp
Wait, should I run skullkrusher?
It complicates your rotation by a bit
don't take this personally
but absolutely the fuck not
if you're still struggling with pvp basics the last thing you want to do is complicate your rotation up
you want rotation to be so autopilot that you glance at your bars to check cooldowns and return to watching the match itself
Aight, I'll focus on improving my uptime then
youll get much more value out of being better at the more trad builds and improving in other areas than trying to squeeze out another few % in dmg from a clunkier build
Spear and crit build is perfectly good and more simple to execute
yup or roar/bleed build, either one is great
sks has its uses and might edge out more dmg if you're really good at it but i wouldnt stress over it
hi bobby
DK is just warriors edgy goth brother
we're still bros
DK seems fun but I have a hard time adjusting to not having charge
yo ragebro's- does any1 know which addon we need to get to be able to have icons drop on the screen when spells like war banner is used or psyfiend? ive seen Bajheera play multiple times but never got an answer- he drops war banner and it has a skill icon next to the flag, likewise for the priest psyfiend. Like it lets you know its been dropped if you have name plates turned off cuz of those obnoxious demo pets
@stark reef a little above 2234
Would like to get 2400 we’ll see if not I’ll get it on arms
That's nice
Yeah, fury does hit hard, made it to 2k myself but then went arms
Loving this build right now:
BcEAoonA2h02U1PVo4204nicFAgWiERSSSSKlSSAAAAAJEJiGJAR0okIwBoIRIBIJRCAAAAAAAAJRCAANEA
Only thing I change is Unhinged vs. no pets and Bloodletting vs. pets.
Would almost run this into anything tbh
my hungry ass could never play a gnome
gnomes were better with the old models
how are the ret changes?
Feels manageable now
Still oneshots but haven’t seen them do it in the first 10sec
Second go is more dangerous when peoples CDs are desynched
The tilter was the 10sec oneshot through all CDs on the open

Most fun I’ve ever had in WoW PvP
300 horde players with world buffs deleted
What is the proc chance on insignia of alacrity
barely notice the nerfs
awc was a lot of demo/frost
i dont even think they're in
so probs seeing a lot of that
i had double ret demo
ret demo bm
ret frost bm
im getting gutted by these comps
it was legit just another slap on the wrist
disarm -> vene parry first ret go
can prob disarm -> vene rally/kite 2nd ret go
stop qq'ing it's not that bad
just respect the rets damage and play around it
warrior shits all over ret now after nerfs
that's very wishful thinking... intervening at the wrong time is just a death sentence for you, rally is not enough to mitigate wings and disarm is not enough when it lasts 23 seconds
it's been working for me
don't you also play with a ret though?
if you're playing with another ret that also bops + sacs + off-heals and whatever else, it's a bit different
intervene + parry only lasts 3 seconds, disarm is another ~6... that's still 13 seconds left on wings lol
it's doable, sure, but it's not a walk in the park
right, but if you've stopped the coordinated go, that's big impact
or at least misaligned their go
ret does not need coordination to kill
esp if you're playing with another squishy/low utility spec like feral
which is wild times when feral feels low utility into ret/warr lmao
seriously
never thought we'd be saying that
ye it's pretty dumb
my strat is to just parry and try to do so much damage to the ret that he has to think about his own healthbar
Just go max burst on ret
I honestly feel arms burst can match ret now
open csmash, bolt, avatar + spear w/ unhinged, rend, skullsplitter, bladestorm again with unhinged, MS, execute spam
Prob pinned one tbh
Spear of Bastion + Mortal Strike focus
BcEAoonA2h02U1PVo4204nicFAgWikEJEJpUKJBAAAAkQkIakAERjSiAHgiEhEgkEJAAAAAAAAEpkcgIAQBB
Thunderous Roar + No Skullsplitter
BcEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgWikEJkkkSpkEAAAAQQkIQCQENKJJSSoIRIBgDEJAAAAAAAAkkSCAAFEA
Disarm on wings does seem quite good when they pop execution sentence with it
Press duel monkey
I’m 95% sure skullsplitter is the best build no cap
Yeah, feeling that way

my feral got W keyed by a ret through duel yesterday
i luv game
But not for 1500 - 1800 imo
like 10-15 yardsish
Managing bleeds at 1500 a bit of an overkill
U mean
Doing your rotation
And pressing rend before u hit skullsplitter?
That isn’t managing bleeds
That’s using 1/4th of ur brain
This is all you need at 1500:
#showtooltip Avatar
/use 14
/cast Sharpen Blade
/cast [@cursor] Spear of Bastion

Is there anyway to target obelisk other than literally clicking on it?
There are 300 imps covering it

“Just kill the obelisk.”
disable your imp name plates
Yeah, i had those disabled, just added these back in to show plates:
Fel Obelisk
Psyfiend
Spirit Link Totem
Healing Stream Totem
Static Field Totem
Well then tell us a better solution, i saw flaws in parry intervene too because after parry is over with a swap on you, you'll hit the floor real fast
Duel is weird feels like it's not 50% at all, but some bs
But here is how things shall go vs ret warr, disarm warrior on colossus, duel pala on wings bolt healer and start pumping on ret, avatar + colossus insta bs to avoid disarm.
Duel, and when he swaps, pull out the shield block 
Is the reason you take honed reflexes over concussive blows for the overpower cd reduction? Also if I want to run fatality would it be worth swapping exhilarating blows for either massacre or improved execute?
I dislike unhinged I wish they put something else instead of that whack talent
Guessing massacre would be better to sks burst in to execute to try and surprise the healer?
i dont think ive seen anyone not take honed?
also the two side talents (wrecking/shatter) (conc/sidearm) are very comp dependant
i swap those around almost every game
where do you want sidearm?
you could technically drop honed for another point in cruel strikes
melee cleaves
fighting into them
my build is a bit unorthodox for sks but i like it
Got it
mess around with it
you can throw fatality back in too and drop bloodsurge
fatality prob a better pick most of the time tbh
Yeah I feel like it’s won me a decent amount of rounds but looking back at the meters fueled by violence does a lot
wouldn't take EP on the SKS build cause ur dropping imp exec and massa
yeah FBV is wild
it usually is like 50-60% of my IP
this is what ive got going on now
do you think it'd be worth swapping blunt instruments for exhillerating blows? I think this might be fine since theres already more buttons to press so might not need it
exhil is really good but its unreliable
i think you should still take it
you wouldnt drop blunt instruments
drop massacre* for exhil on the sks build
What would I swap? Massacre?
someone better might chime in
yea
thats the only thing you could swap realistically
also can drop unhinged on if facing demo/bm
and grab something else
Hm yeah I guess it’s more rng damage vs more reliable bursf?
exhil is good man sometimes ill get 3-4 mortals in a row
its huge
some talents are must-haves , i think exhil is one
yeah I guess my worry is getting to gcd when it’s time to hit a fatality execute and the healer bumps their hp a bit too high b
That could be solved by better cc I guess
Prot shuffle is so fun. You just use dragon charge on CD and you get free rating.
@elder jungle There are weakauras that show the icon above the nameplate for totems and psyfiend, if you dont have those it helps a lot
this one https://wago.io/0WHEPOBNz
how much crit should i have before going for haste?
i dont understand how im supposed to win in solo que
if tehre are any casters in the match i will only win maybe 3 matches and my rating goes unchanged and then i get qued against an evoker and lost 60 rating
There aren’t always better solutions, that’s why a spec is considered overpowered. Kiting wings isn’t always viable because of the high uptime and Ret’s range. The best solution is to cc them for as long as possible and trade into the rest of wings as best you can, hoping you don’t get global’d.
If I only wanted to do PvP to get the transmog, would I have more mileage getting everything to 1.8k and a warrior and DH to 2.4k, or would I have better odds with a ret pally, hunter and DH, for example?
Ret is the easiest
But if I wanted to unlock all weapons, would that be the best way to do it?
Or at least as many as possible
Which spec would you personally recommend?
Arms
Thanks
whats considered a win for solo to get the conquest
people are crying over sharpen blade's heal reduction percentage, what do you guys think?
Dstance was 20% for long time too
cry more
it's arms' niche
i agree
i think arms is most balanced, gigachad and most fun spec to play and should not be touched
We are balanced by garbage defensives
Retfucks get so much more than us and wanna cry about sharpen ? LOL
?
arms 2nd tankiest melee spec
perma dmg mitigation with IP
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/sharpen-blade/1567160 here is the post btw
i know forum is not the best place to follow since everybody crying over a spec but i believe i saw 3 qq post about warr today
do yourself a favour and leave forums
Why has every war so much mobility but me :(
That’s not close to true
IP is pretty good
Arms needs dam or def tuning
I don’t feel ip at all
Parry is getting ignored by 80% of the classes anyway
And def stance reduces our dmg done by quiet a bit
I love our defensives
Parry is strong vs arms and Ret, the best melees pre yesterday
It’s strong into WW
Arms damage is too big for its mobility, sharpen and def
Holystrike? Ah yes
wrecking or shattering against ww ret?
people that play fdk comps and spam chains between go's are cringe as fuck
sorry, havent followed the conversation but will orc be broken next patch? I play human
no
10% kidney is 10% kidney, best race imho
Final verdict is ranged as well as judgement - doesn’t get parried
It’s a melee strike
It gets parried
That’s new btw
It didn’t get parried in SL
It can also be disarmed now
Melee strike with 20m range? That’s some weird weed devs smoking
well, it's good for warr
before you could neither disarm nor parry fv cus it didnt need a weapon
now it does
Your anti blowup defensive is only parry tho
If casters decide to fuck you and healer sucks. Ggs
Ret has like 4 defs against this
Yea, ret is massively overtuned. Doesn’t mean we should be lol
We have a melee immunity + 30% wall on a relatively low CD
20% magic wall on a 25sec CD
30% heal
Permanent 10% damage reduc
15% HP boost
Spammable dmg mitigation that also boosts our dps
Yeah war is strong but I wouldnt say overtuned
Ret is like a one man army, or was idk how much they nerfed
@graceful ginkgo what’s your main?
hey guys is the opening in pvp different than the one in pve (with the correct talents ofc)
