Assassination Rogue PvP 11.0.5 | That's a swift shuffle!

[@ngjs300]

Hello nox. Thank you for every your good video. And good video again! I'd appreciate it if you could answer my question. (1) Even if you're in a good position to use Blood Storm, there are many cases where you don't use BS. Do you have a good standard for using BS? (2) In the last videos, you usually use a strategy that did pre-working full DoTs on two DPSs and then hard push on Healer to make it difficult to Heal-up and get a win. But in this video, you did not use that strategy. Is there any reason?

@Shadenox could you please answer this? Thanks alot for your educative videos.

Hey hey, sorry for the long delay before answering! (1) Crimson Tempest is your best global, damage wise, if it hits multiple enemies, especially if multiple Ruptures are rolling due to the Hero Talent Follow the Blood. That being said, if enemies are not DR'ed and you can land CC with Kidney Shot and/or Vanish/Meld Cheap Shot Garrote, then it holds priority over using Crimson Tempest. Also, if you still have Carnage + Improved Garrote buffs active, you'll prioritize refreshing empowered Garrotes because it is your highest source of damage, silences enemies and reduces the damage they deal, and you'll also prioritize reapplying AoE Ruptures (even if they are still around halfway) over Crimson Tempest, as it is a massive GCD gain for later and still deals really good instant damage due to applying Internal Bleeding in AoE and possibly Bone Spikes if you have charges. If you don't have Carnage to apply AoE bleeds and one (or more) target has Rupture about to fall, you'll also prioritze refreshing this over spending your Combo Points into Crimson Tempest because it gives you a stack of Scent of Blood, and contributes to your energy regeneration through Venomous Wounds, and you need to keep your energy high to press abilities and have good value out of Sanguine Blades. (2) This strategy is, ideally, what you'd always want to do. However there are scenarios that make it dangerous. You could be facing something such as Mage Warlock, or Balance Druid SP, or anything similar, with their healer being very far behind and then the moment you push on the healer you get CC'ed, possibly killed, while your healer also gets CC'ed because you're not here to stop Cyclone/Fear/Polymorph/whatever else, and your healer is forced to stand open field to be in range of you since you pushed in Or you're facing Warriors (like here) or DKs, and you want to stay near them to CC their burst with Cheap Shots, Dismantle etc because you know they'll all-in at start. You could also be facing very bursty DPS that can connect to you and anihilate you the moment you push on the enemy healer while also stopping your go. For instance you could be facing Ret Warrior, and the moment you push in the Warrior intervenes his healer (stopping your go) with a Stormbolt on you, and he + the Ret from a distance kill you. In that scenario your healer has to move forward to heal you, and cannot avoid CC from the Ret, and possibly follow-ups from the enemy team. Finally, you could also be paired with a class that really wants to CC the healer at start (a Hunter should, in theory, stun trap or trap off a sap into stun into silence), and in that case you'll just want to blow up the DPS because you know the healer is going to be in CC for a while (and so you can't swap to him right away). These are the things I'm thinking of right now, but there can be more, things happen in an arena match so you may have to act one way or another depending on what's been done. But, of course in any given match if there is a way for you to DoT all 3 enemies and CC all 3 enemies while not putting yourself or your team in any danger right from the opener, it's the best thing to do. I rewatched some of the rounds from that video, and I feel like I still attempt to do that though. For instance in the 1st round once I finally catch the Hunter and DoT him + have the Warrior DoT'ed up, my next move is to go for the Monk with Meld Cheap Shot. Second round we force Cocoon with 2x Sap Garrote, then i go for another target, get a trinket, and only then go for the Monk since the other two are rather safe, and we've got pressure on all 3 since the Monk will not be bleeding when I go back for his team, and so on. It just doesn't always look as clean and easy as "Cheap Shot both DPS opener with healer in a Sap, AoE DoT them, swap healer with Garrote Rupture Garrote Kidney and everyone dies". That's when they make it easy :p

@Shadenox Thanks 😊 Your answer and video helped me a lot.

[@patrickchampionofthefrozen8961]

Great video! Could you tell me what the name of your transmog's daggers is?

[@Shadenox]

They are the conquest PvP ones from WoD season 2 or 3 (same skin, different colors). You can find them in Ashran !

[@ShisuriaStrom]

very good video 😊

[@raph3756]

What addons do you use, please?

[@Evluite19969]

Do you usually play the same build always? Didnt see u swap around talents much or i migght be missing that Anyways, great vid! U just made me stsrt lvling my rogue

[@Evluite19969]

Any tips u could give me to play shuffle

[@Shadenox]

I often play the same thing yes because it's easy to cleave in shuffle and playing cleave is the best way as Assa right now. I do swap honor talents though, if there is nothing to disarm and if physical cleanse cloak isn't needed. Then I'll take Hemotoxin, and rarely I'll take the tricks talent if I have a fitting teammate.

Hey, love the videos and the tips are great. Definitely helped me get more rating out of my rogue! I've been playing around with a bit of a different build recently and wondering if you would be able to give your thoughts on it? CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYMjZmxMjZAAAAAAY2MmtZAAAAAAoltZmBMYmZWGDmZMzMzMzYG222GzwgFzyADYJYbYCMsMA It swaps out Alacrity and Deeper Stratagem for Recuperator and Super Charger. Recuperator does a fair amount of healing each round from what I can see to boost surviveability and Super Charger on your burst windows which puts your finishing moves up at 8 combo points rather than the 7 but not sure how it balances out from a high rated players perspective? Any thoughts?

[@stopfatn00bproduction6]

Plz share your omnibar, i want to have it. Export this for me. Thanks

[@Shadenox]

pastebin.com/BmuiidTP tell me if that one works, I haven't updated the pastebin for a while, but I also think I haven't changed the omnibar settings so it *should* be up to date
