Hey friends. Big trend in the comments here is asking "what about weak auras?". Figured enough commented that I should pin a comment! Weak aura's are great. If you don't know what they are, they allow you to highlight buffs/debuffs/CDs etc with re-sized and re-positioned icons wherever you want. They're super great. The point of the concept I explain in this video is to utilize wasted space, whereas adding auras does the opposite and actually ends up cluttering your UI more. The best type of UI is one that provides the most minimal yet useful and effective information so you're able to have it organized and quickly accessible to visual information. Some people like to use weak auras and hide there actionbars, that sounds awesome. Do whatever works for you. This video concept like I said is about turning something bad into something good. Not about adding or subtracting. Thanks for the feedback regardless, I have to go there's another yorkshire territory in my house.
The whole point of using ElvUI and Weakauras is that you wouldn't even show the bar with your abilities like backstab on them, since they're "wasted space." So instead of throwing a "visual keybind" way at the bottom of the screen in your "wasted space", you don't show any of that junk at all and then put a weak aura for that CD you care about right where you need to see it. If you're using Weakauras and ElvUI properly it would be 10x more organized, easier to see, and significantly more minimal than the stock UI.
In my opinion the method outlined in the video is a none-mod/simple/crude way to do what mods like tellmewhen and weakauras are designed to do. I don't think it is right or wrong. That said, I love customizing my UI and I agree that this way feels like a hack to work if you aren't a "mods" sorta person. Basically some people dont like the idea of messing with mods... to each their own ;)
FYI you can put weak auras over your bars as well. You can click through them. Weak auras can do anything but click keys, including exactly what you are doing here.
Your personality combined with how informative and easy to understand your videos are, has easily turned your channel into one of my favorites. Keep up the good work man, I can see you going far!
I really like how your videos are clear and concise, but take just enough time to fully explain. That was also an excellent example at the beginning that clearly showed the usefulness of this visualization method for macros. Will use this. Thanks.
finally understand why people do this, ty, but cant you just get addons or weakauras (abilities flash either on bar or in middle of your screen) that tell you when something off cooldown thats way easier to see and something i see raiders doing instead of keybinding the same ability many times? Also, in thumbnail you show 3 blinds, but that is because you have keybinds for blind target 1, 2 and 3, which is the main reason?
@@Palumor ah i see the comment thanks, but about the blind, i was looking at your other video where you show your macros and keybinds and i believe you use 3 blinds for 3 arena targets, so control + 1 = blind arena target 1, control + 2 = blind arena target 2, and so on so u have 3 blind buttons for the 3 arena target keybinds, and has nothing to do with the visual cue, although thats an added bonus, no?
Appreciate you man. First off, I think auras are great, they just might become cluttered whereas this macro concept absolutely just utilizes wasted space! Second, thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you!
I could definitely do that. I'm not sure I could be that insightful though! Seems like the 2 obvious PvP picks right now are reverberation and recuperator with Pelagos!
Question mate, would you care to explain how to maintain CDs trough out the boss fight(4-5 mins lets say),example : I often don't have dance up and sod is back from cd..,thanks in advance!
I just streamed the new raid tonight you could check the vod of how I play! Also though, I'd really just focus on using SDance off CD and only using blades/symbols WITH an Sdance!
I did something different to help track my cooldowns : I created an additionnal castbar (using bartender) and put it in the middle of my screen just below my character. On this bar, i've put every important cooldowns to track. This bar is not clickable, has no keybinds and it shows only in combat. It allows me to not look at my cast bars any second and my eyes always stay around the middle of the screen and if I want to track a specific cooldown i just have to look at my middle cast bar and I still see what's happening in the game.
Good stuff man I really enjoy your videos! I am really trying to push arenas this expansion and overall improve my rogue gameplay! Thanks again keep up the good information! Just a suggestion for videos! When doing the Torghast I am constantly looking for information on google/TH-cam looking for the Floor 6 final bosses guide specifically as rogues! I think if you made guides on Torghast how to pull certain large pack areas and final bosses that would be awesome!
Hey, thanks so much. I appreciate the support! I can potentially get more Torghast content uploaded but if you want I do all of my runs on twitch! You can watch me run through those on my vods if that’d help! Thanks for your support!
Just a heads up your not getting the most value out of your *ER* Macro. If you are macroing the Grim Codex (Or whatever Trinket) make sure it is the first thing on the cast/Use line so the value is added before the Echo damage hits. You can confirm that is how it works by moving the placement of symbols with echoing. If you put Echo first and then symbols you will not crit, indicating that small change makes a huge difference.
I was doubtful that it would have any impact until I fully read through, and that's a REALLY good argument lol. I'll definitely swap it. Good catch. :)
If the trinket is a stat booster, put it first to boost ER dmg. If the trinket is a dmg dealer, put it after ER so the ER mastery buff boosts the trinket dmg.
hey bro, you have 2 different symbols of death macros on your bar what are the different macros you have, i watched your other videos but was just curious cause you only post 1 burst macro just trying to get a feel for how you setup your bar because mine is overwhelming also would love to get an idea of your over all layout just explaining where your buttons and macros go and why maybe showing how you visualize your setup great content btw
Hey man! I sort of explain this in the video lol. The macro on number 1 is just backstab out of stealth and shadowstrike in stealth! They just have the tooltip to display symbols of death! The macros are like this - #showtooltip Symbols of Death /cast Backstab #showtooltip Symbols of Death /cast Shadowstrike
@@Palumor beast subbing up this kinda content is whats needed, people like pikaboo could learn alot from you haha so talented but forgets everyone just wants to learn these skills thanks for the patience
i do visualizing with weakauras, it feels weirdd to me to have them on action bars. i have important CD's always in my peripherals with it so i dont have to look down to my action bars
Hey Palumor. Really interesting tips you gave there in the video. I've been playing wow for a while and played every class so I've made a lot of macros. Do you know a way to increase your macro cap ? Not the amount of characters in a macro but the amount of macros you can use on your whole account.
Hey thanks! I appreciate you, I actually have no idea if that's possible though sorry! I would definitely love more slots lol, had to delete many for space over the years.
@@Palumor I've thought of deleting some macros but I'm scared I'll go back to those classes someday. I've heard that some addons can help with this issue but haven't found one that worked for me. One said I had too many macros and had to reload after I sorted them but I've got no clue what it means by that since macros are sorted alphabetically. I also thought of fusing macros together but it messes up the tooltip. exemple Shear, Silence, Mind Freeze in the same macro shows tooltip for the 1st spell in the macro. Merry Xmas!
@@Palumor I'm gonna try mega macro again. I think I gave up too soon without setting it up properly. I'm gonna give it another try and set it up properly.
All these years i thought it was pro pvp tricks with three icons for the same ability, maybe for focus cast on arena1/arena2/arena3 but its just cuz they dont see cooldowns on monitor...
Love your content, it's both awesome and hilarious! I feel ashamed that this never occurred to me. I do it when combining cooldown e.g. Echoing Reprimand tries to cast other abilities first but shows its tooltip rather than the other way round but I've never used anything like backstab or eviscerate or rupture to show major cds... I'll give it some thought, thanks!
Pal - Can you talk about movement? I use my mouse to run and my 2 mouse buttons as strafe left and right. To use mouseover macros - I have to toggle auto run real quick and do it that way. I'm not sure if that's the most efficient?
Hey, I absolutely think you need run forward keybound! W to move forward and A and D to strafe left/right sounds amazing! That will conpletely fix your auto run issue! Hope this helps!
@@Palumor The only thing with using keyboard movements is that it makes it more difficult to use the other keybinds near it as quickly. Do you use your mouse buttons to do damage?
@@ViciousMo Nope, I use W A D and mouse to move, and I use all my keyboard. The only mouse buttons I use are 3 for target/blind/kidney arena123 macros. You have to get used to using both mouse and keyboard back and forth a lot to move well!
one thing some peeps do is shift their movement bindings over one to esdf, getting an mmo mouse is actually better if you need access to more keybindings for abilities, but imo wow has gotten so simple over the years that you don't really need too many.
hello Palumor! I am delighted that you had the same thought as me about the trinket, I have it in 213 ilvl and I admit that with the echo reprimand it is abused xD. I am a pve player and I have asked myself the question several times to know how to improve my openness and you answered my question. Would you be cappable please, see how to create a macro opening for pve players. Thanking you in advance. My thief is on Hyjal (EU) and the nickname is: "Cârtâpuce" And Gg the intro of you video you made me laugh too much, poor beast. (Sorry for my english week im french
@@Palumor right on we’ll listen if you change your mind I’d love to help you with merch when you need it I’d hope you consider me feel free to dm me or check out my work on insta @signedbyjamieson I literally only watch you, savix, and pshero for rogue pvp really funny and helpful content man keep it up!
All I know is I worked my ass off to get through T6 Skoldus last night to craft my Akaari's Soul Fragment for the raid and my damage went through the roof. I was doing top 3 and we downed Xy'mog last night and I was number 1. We all still have some gearing to do, but it was great to hear the laments from the Paladins who are normally number 1. Even the guild leader acknowledged it. When we did Shriekwing on Wednesday, I had managed to stay alive for the fight and he even pointed me out again. He was like, Skadoosh went from like number 5 to number 3 because he played the mechanics. Love being the example and pushing my rogue.
I might make an entire video on this, but I'm not sure if it's worth one. Basically, a fast offhand will proc shadow techniques faster so you'll get more energy regen/combo points. This effect in PvP is quite negligible since you're not getting a ton of auto attack damage in the first place. The 2 reasons people are and might be going these slow offhands is for the access to specific stats. In this case vers/mastery. Secondly because of the higher top end damage for spikier damage during these small sub rogue burst windows. I hope that clears things up. At the end of the day, it's no insane difference!
@@SeasideStrangler Fair! That sounds good, and let's be honest Pika is an insane player but does he ever really know what's going on outside the arena. Lmao
You should try tracking CDs with weakauras sounds. It plays a quick sound when the CD of selected spell is off... No need to look at spells at all, you just hear it
Could be super nice! I personally listen to music and other things a lot that might throw me off a bit! It's a great suggestion overall though, audio queues in PvP are nuts. I used to love Gladiatorlossa in arena in MoP.
Hey, is it possible to have 2 legendary powers ?? because i have Akkaris Soulfragment now and i also want this Power where i get 4 sec 100%crit after leaving stealth. And where can i get this legendary btw?
When you use omni bar and you can see cooldowns better isent it much easier to use Weakaura bc you can keep track when u need to recast rupture and SnD and se other cooldowns to like Shadow dance.
Yes, auras are great. In fact I'll be covering setting auras and omnibar up in videos eventually. The point of this concept though is utilizing wasted space in the first place! Check the pinned comment!
personally tried this with defuelt ui but what helped me more was a ui addon (like bartender fx) to orgeninse these macros point of view better don't know why, but i just can't seem to work with the defuelt one (despite this reducing the need for it) tecnicly speaking anyway ^^
Hello Palumor, thank you for the videos. Awesome guides you have made. That's a subscribe from me. I've been looking for profession guides for sub rogues, and can't seem to find any. I'm an old school player returning to shadowlands. I heard engineering is bad, which surprises me, recalling how engineering used to be "the" profession for pvp. Any tips?
Hey man, screw the haters. I love engineering. I run eng/herbalism to make some side gold. I appreciate the support/sub man. Thanks for being here, hope that helps!
Check the pinned comment! Long story short though, that would be adding more clutter to your screen whereas this trick's concept is all about utilizing wasted space that's already being occupied!
Lol. I'm in the same boat. There are plenty of players, and honestly the best way to find them is spam Qing in the group finder until you being to click with people. Ride it out and eventually meet more people etc. Just got to climb the ladder!
@@Palumor I was just looking around and it's weird to me that all of these PvP players essentially pug 😂 you'd think we would all have one big community to find players in, but hey - if it works for everyone else why not me 💁♂️
i searched a lot, but can u help me? i want to write macro, that says, that if i can´t use the first skill, it takes the second. skills like shadowstep, or schadowdance, with 2 charges, are out, then use , for example, vanish. if i write /cast shadowstep and in the next line /cast vanish, it doesn´t work, so i want a macro where i can have more skills in it with different priority. if you, or anybody here, help me with this.. don´t know... youre the best :D
There are absolutely macros like this in-game! I personally am not a super genius macro creator unfortunately but I am great with basics. - I just spent about 15 minutes searching for what you're thinking of but I'm not sure I can find it! Best of luck though man, really sorry I couldn't help!
That can work. The point of this concept is utilizing wasted space instead of adding more clutter. So if you want to hide action bars and use auras that's good too! Whatever works for you.
To be honest i disagree with having 3 macros. Its better to have a extremely EASY key bind for swapping betweeen A1, A2, A3. BLinds dont have to be down to the Millisecond. that way your able to swap targets super easy. I have a1a2a3 as Q,W,E However, I think shadowstep and marked for death do need their own macros. But having 3 of each keybinds for ur abilities means you have to REACH for those keys which just slows down your reaction time also.
I think you're really missing the idea/point of this video. They are visual macros. They don't perform the same ability. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
@@Palumor Oh i see what you mean. I do have something similar. Instead i just Place a much bigger spell icon of my key abilities above the ones that i actually hit. and i have a couple pairs also under the big icons for the upmost important This looks much better and still allows me to see my important cds. Tbh tho i dont understand how u or xar can play with that ui with the blizz bar. Its just so unattractive. and you arnt even using the technique ur talking about in the vid lol! no off. here is a photo of the new assassination rogue UI i just lvl'd if your interested. imgur.com/a/Qzd76N6 AINT IT PRETTY
Alright hear me out with all the rogue spec ussaly one is is a teir the other to are b teir how do you think we can make them all good at once kind of like mage would you be oposed to as an example outlaw having the most cc and control assa having the most pressure from dots on everyone and high sustain and sub of course the bursty boi I play outlaw and want to feel stwong lol
Great question. I think the overall rule with rogues is as follows. Assassination has always been the go to high sustained DPS dot spec that excels in single target. Subtlety has been the super PvP spec with high access to utility through shadow dance stuns/burst. Outlaw has always been the AoE/PvE mythic+ sort of ideal build. Obviously it's hard for these to stand out in there respective forms when one spec is blown out of the water, but I think as of right now sub is probably for sure the best PvP spec in any situation. PvE can vary!
True but I'm talking about pvp specifically when it comes to arena outlaw isn't bad right now it's just over shadowed to the point of obscurity to sub and I don't ever see assa and when I do I'm not that worried of dying like i believe assa should have 2 shadow steps it's the dot n rot class with the least amount of mobility sub should lose 1 outlaw should stay with regards to mobility
Been requested a bunch, might have to lol. For PvP I'd go for Reverberation and Recuperator as of now. Idk if there's enough to dive into for a whole video.

Ur videos are great and they helped me down Denathrius today :D tyvm
Grats! Ty for support man.
what is the add-on, that gives you the combo point bar thats in your sight?
nvm, i see you have a video on it...going it there now
hello Palumor! I am delighted that you had the same thought as me about the trinket, I have it in 213 ilvl and I admit that with the echo reprimand it is abused xD. I am a pve player and I have asked myself the question several times to know how to improve my openness and you answered my question. Would you be cappable please, see how to create a macro opening for pve players. Thanking you in advance. My thief is on Hyjal (EU) and the nickname is: "Cârtâpuce" And Gg the intro of you video you made me laugh too much, poor beast. (Sorry for my english week im french
Hey man do you need artwork done for merch?
Anyone is always open to helping with whatever, although I'm not really in need of or after anything like merch/artwork! :)
@@Palumor right on we’ll listen if you change your mind I’d love to help you with merch when you need it I’d hope you consider me feel free to dm me or check out my work on insta @signedbyjamieson I literally only watch you, savix, and pshero for rogue pvp really funny and helpful content man keep it up!
Great video. The intros get me every time. Lol
Glad you enjoy. I appreciate you. :)
What about after nerf ? Any tips on how to we rogues may rapeth thy enemy? wout kyrian ability, 1and 100% crit
I’ll make an updated video when changes go live!
I’m jealous of your daggers man. Those glowing red murder daggers....looks so frickin’ cool.
All I know is I worked my ass off to get through T6 Skoldus last night to craft my Akaari's Soul Fragment for the raid and my damage went through the roof. I was doing top 3 and we downed Xy'mog last night and I was number 1. We all still have some gearing to do, but it was great to hear the laments from the Paladins who are normally number 1. Even the guild leader acknowledged it. When we did Shriekwing on Wednesday, I had managed to stay alive for the fight and he even pointed me out again. He was like, Skadoosh went from like number 5 to number 3 because he played the mechanics. Love being the example and pushing my rogue.
Glad to hear man. Be proud of that! I loved trying to do the same thing when I raided on classic WoW!
hey what do you think of Pikaboo using a Mace in his offhand? Is that the play or what?
I might make an entire video on this, but I'm not sure if it's worth one. Basically, a fast offhand will proc shadow techniques faster so you'll get more energy regen/combo points. This effect in PvP is quite negligible since you're not getting a ton of auto attack damage in the first place. The 2 reasons people are and might be going these slow offhands is for the access to specific stats. In this case vers/mastery. Secondly because of the higher top end damage for spikier damage during these small sub rogue burst windows. I hope that clears things up. At the end of the day, it's no insane difference!
@@Palumor im thinkin ill do the vers/mastery mace for pvp and double dagger for pve. If pikaboo does it, its prolly pretty good.
@@SeasideStrangler Fair! That sounds good, and let's be honest Pika is an insane player but does he ever really know what's going on outside the arena. Lmao
How calls addon , when u use ability its shows ability picture down belov?
TrufiGCD!
What about WeakAuras? or Tell Me When addon? or there is a ban for addons for pro scene?
Check the pinned comment. :)
Played WoW since late Vanilla. Never heard of this. Shame on me and thanks to you bro, definitely using it now!
Happy to help man! Appreciate you.
Same here mate, and I've always asked myself, what gives with all those stacked up identical icons.. Thanks indeed, Palumor.
I like your videos! Keep it up please :)
Appreciate you!
what is the code for tooltips on green fart cloud?
Why dont use Weakaura? Isnt it the same effect in better?
Check pinned comment!
Definitely like this though I would say that something like weakauras can do this probably better?
Pinned comment
You should try tracking CDs with weakauras sounds. It plays a quick sound when the CD of selected spell is off... No need to look at spells at all, you just hear it
Could be super nice! I personally listen to music and other things a lot that might throw me off a bit! It's a great suggestion overall though, audio queues in PvP are nuts. I used to love Gladiatorlossa in arena in MoP.
Can anyone tell me what Illusion/Enchant he's using on his daggers? Looks dope as hell
Glorious Tyranny :)
@@Palumor No way I can get that hahaha but thanks anyway
Hey, is it possible to have 2 legendary powers ?? because i have Akkaris Soulfragment now and i also want this Power where i get 4 sec 100%crit after leaving stealth.
And where can i get this legendary btw?
Hey! It comes off a boss. You can GET 2 legendary powers, you can just only wear 1 at a time.
@@Palumor ok ty, btw what do you think about using Shadow Focus instead of Nightstalker to get more value of the Akaaris legendary?
@@vivienne9303 In PvE yes, PvP no.
When you use omni bar and you can see cooldowns better isent it much easier to use Weakaura bc you can keep track when u need to recast rupture and SnD and se other cooldowns to like Shadow dance.
Yes, auras are great. In fact I'll be covering setting auras and omnibar up in videos eventually. The point of this concept though is utilizing wasted space in the first place! Check the pinned comment!
personally tried this with defuelt ui but what helped me more was a ui addon (like bartender fx) to orgeninse these macros point of view better
don't know why, but i just can't seem to work with the defuelt one (despite this reducing the need for it)
tecnicly speaking anyway ^^
Not a bad idea too! :)
Hello Palumor, thank you for the videos. Awesome guides you have made. That's a subscribe from me.
I've been looking for profession guides for sub rogues, and can't seem to find any. I'm an old school player returning to shadowlands. I heard engineering is bad, which surprises me, recalling how engineering used to be "the" profession for pvp. Any tips?
Hey man, screw the haters. I love engineering. I run eng/herbalism to make some side gold. I appreciate the support/sub man. Thanks for being here, hope that helps!
OP videos like always :D
Why not just change your UI to make your cool downs bigger and in the center of your screen?
Check the pinned comment! Long story short though, that would be adding more clutter to your screen whereas this trick's concept is all about utilizing wasted space that's already being occupied!
Yo man, you got any idea where I could find other PvP players to play with, the communitys and guilds seem close to non existent. I wanna do RBGs 😭
Lol. I'm in the same boat. There are plenty of players, and honestly the best way to find them is spam Qing in the group finder until you being to click with people. Ride it out and eventually meet more people etc. Just got to climb the ladder!
@@Palumor I was just looking around and it's weird to me that all of these PvP players essentially pug 😂 you'd think we would all have one big community to find players in, but hey - if it works for everyone else why not me 💁♂️
@@BESTGINGEREU I feel you! Just make sure you try to add people up when you play with them and it goes good!
i do not understand how or where it shows you the cooldown.
On the ability spot.
Good video I use some weak auras for this reason but this isn't a bad alternative. Especially if you wanna make your ui cleaner.
Yup! Check the pinned comment. :)
Lol the Introoo I love these.
Is it possible to make a macro that shows how long the spell is going to be active from the moment we klick it?
You can use addons that can display timers if that's what you mean! I might make my next video on that!
playin enha... the only thing i can replace is purge and thats not on the bars i look at lolz. still super helpful for other classesn!
What do you think of the upcoming rogue nerfs ? We have to change that one-shot macro adjusting it to the upcoming nerfs! xD
I’ll do some testing! Don’t worry! :)
@@Palumor Amazing! Looking forward to testing it out, mate!
Best intro so far
Can you put the macro in the video description? Then everyone can just copy and paste it into the game. Thanks.
They differ
i searched a lot, but can u help me? i want to write macro, that says, that if i can´t use the first skill, it takes the second. skills like shadowstep, or schadowdance, with 2 charges, are out, then use , for example, vanish.
if i write /cast shadowstep and in the next line /cast vanish, it doesn´t work, so i want a macro where i can have more skills in it with different priority. if you, or anybody here, help me with this.. don´t know... youre the best :D
There are absolutely macros like this in-game! I personally am not a super genius macro creator unfortunately but I am great with basics. - I just spent about 15 minutes searching for what you're thinking of but I'm not sure I can find it! Best of luck though man, really sorry I couldn't help!
great explanation man, appreciate it a lot!
Appreciate you! :)
Can you do a video talking about the rogue needs plz
Yep! Tmo morning!
Could I use weakauras instead ?
You could use auras but that might cause your UI to be a bit more cluttered than these easy macros!
What combo point add on is that
NugComboBar!
Can I reserve a coaching spot?
Lol, I appreciate you. I have no idea how I'll go about coaching this expansion, but I will definitely let TH-cam know!
what do i have to do to get coached?
Not coaching atm sorry!
@@Palumor Thats Sad, let ne know as soon as you do coaching again
I feel so smart now, when I made my own without knowing that pro players use it too.
That intro was amazing
:)
why dont just use afenars weakaura ?
Check the pinned comment. :)
how about weakauras ?
That can work. The point of this concept is utilizing wasted space instead of adding more clutter. So if you want to hide action bars and use auras that's good too! Whatever works for you.
To be honest i disagree with having 3 macros. Its better to have a extremely EASY key bind for swapping betweeen A1, A2, A3. BLinds dont have to be down to the Millisecond.
that way your able to swap targets super easy. I have a1a2a3 as Q,W,E
However, I think shadowstep and marked for death do need their own macros. But having 3 of each keybinds for ur abilities means you have to REACH for those keys which just slows down your reaction time also.
I think you're really missing the idea/point of this video. They are visual macros. They don't perform the same ability. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
@@Palumor Oh i see what you mean. I do have something similar. Instead i just Place a much bigger spell icon of my key abilities above the ones that i actually hit. and i have a couple pairs also under the big icons for the upmost important
This looks much better and still allows me to see my important cds.
Tbh tho i dont understand how u or xar can play with that ui with the blizz bar. Its just so unattractive. and you arnt even using the technique ur talking about in the vid lol!
no off.
here is a photo of the new assassination rogue UI i just lvl'd if your interested.
imgur.com/a/Qzd76N6
AINT IT PRETTY
hey really cool idea about the tooltip. love it thanks
Alright hear me out with all the rogue spec ussaly one is is a teir the other to are b teir how do you think we can make them all good at once kind of like mage would you be oposed to as an example outlaw having the most cc and control assa having the most pressure from dots on everyone and high sustain and sub of course the bursty boi I play outlaw and want to feel stwong lol
Great question. I think the overall rule with rogues is as follows. Assassination has always been the go to high sustained DPS dot spec that excels in single target. Subtlety has been the super PvP spec with high access to utility through shadow dance stuns/burst. Outlaw has always been the AoE/PvE mythic+ sort of ideal build. Obviously it's hard for these to stand out in there respective forms when one spec is blown out of the water, but I think as of right now sub is probably for sure the best PvP spec in any situation. PvE can vary!
True but I'm talking about pvp specifically when it comes to arena outlaw isn't bad right now it's just over shadowed to the point of obscurity to sub and I don't ever see assa and when I do I'm not that worried of dying like i believe assa should have 2 shadow steps it's the dot n rot class with the least amount of mobility sub should lose 1 outlaw should stay with regards to mobility
I'm looking forward to the intros ✌️😅
Wonder what the next one will be. 😎
:)
bro can u make a video on kyrian soultrais and choices? thanks! great content
Been requested a bunch, might have to lol. For PvP I'd go for Reverberation and Recuperator as of now. Idk if there's enough to dive into for a whole video.
Pal: BS for backstab or for something else. *wink*
Me: Ah, yes. Butt Stuff.
:)
RIP ghostdog. We hardly knew you.
He was only lvl 27..
