Need to show other examples other than the same rogue in pmr. Trinket usage vastly different for most classes. Also would be more beneficial to show it from healers standpoint as their trinket usage is more impactful and are the one member guaranteed to see the most consistent cc on them

[@Isstenn]

Thank you!

This is the best comment on this video

If you think about it, it really isn't except for very specific scenarios.

This is a freebie. Other examples almost certainly are offered for subscription which, for $5/mo., Is within reach of a lot of people. So pay up and get the full benefit.

[@whynotlin7998]

You do realize they release these videos as promotion for their subscription services right? If you want the comprehensive comp vs comp breakdowns you can go to their site

[@coldsteel2546]

Congrats on Glad to the Rogue and his team . This is a perfect video for me as we have a warrior who never holds his trinket .......ever first time he gets cc bam popped trinket. Hopefully this will help him see what we keep trying to get him to realize. His answer is always "I had him going and thought I could finish him". Good video as always Skill Capped!

[@dermot5035]

Would also be cool to have video on how medium/top players look at their screen. Are they constantly scanning the UI? How do they also keep up movement of character, following opponent, while scanning ui, etc. Ie how do they get the information from the UI into their mind

[@skillcappedwowpvp]

We made a video a few months ago that helps answer that question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnSoZYVnib2jg7s

As other people already mentioned, you should use more classes as examples, but also, don't forget to include positive examples of the trinket used correctly

[@TubeYouLuca]

I think one key feature to have is a GOOD and well setup nameplates addon. This can massively help you see what cd is popping by the enemy. Otherwise is super difficult to track everything in a matter of seconds.

[@jeverett1738]

I think my biggest problem is my ui setup. Looking at your settup it so much clear i can see whats going on. I lvled everyclass to 60 to learn all the abilties since i played vanilla thru cataclysm and everything has changed.

[@user-cz4tk2vr9i]

Love your videos, keep up the good work.

[@secularteejay]

I follow this rule and didn’t know it was a rule, but solo shuffle low rated players never do what I want them to do. A few times I was feared but had the initial shield of rapture on our mage whose HP was 60% and the shield was up to 30% which made him 90%. The bubble was never damaged through and I never used my trinket despite the Ret training him.

[@khiryislive]

I don’t know if it’s me but everyone got glad last season

[@pierrehenry4556]

The first thing on healer is to not tilt, stop when loosestreak. Do a 10min pause between games to relax.

[@janparkki5704]

This video certainly seems to be aimed for people like me. Gives a lot to think about. Especially the skill triangle shocked me. I now understand better, why even at 1300-1400 we regularly face people over 2k exp. As for translating the 80% rule into practice, I will have to try it out. What concerns me is how many things there are to weigh in such a short amount of time. I really do hope this approach helps. We've played in almost every arena season last 15 years and still consider getting 1600 an "exceptionally good" performance for us. =) It's good to analyze trinket usage, but I must admit we often die to enemy dps pressure outside CC. Having a trinket won't help then.

[@janparkki5704]

@@BlizzArtPiano-wh9gj Well, yea... I guess "really low level" would be correct. I play Havoc and my wife Holy. We started doing arenas when they came out back in the Burning Crusade some 15 years ago and have played several hundred games in most seasons. Still stuck at 1400-1500 rating. Got the right builds and have watched all the vids, but I guess it's just an inherent awareness and reaction problem for both of us. The game is just so damn fast you don't have time to think about your choices...

As a healer, the 2 biggest things to win is, #1 max your dps, #2 CC the healer. That creates win conditions.

Yo buddy, learn the DR categories its a major part of pvp. If your playing rogue def learn rogue mage and priest DRs then expand from there

Lesson learned, roast the rogue for trinketing everything

[@GonzytheMage]

If hunter isnt present blame rogue

[@whatapity7157]

An overall great video but... You showed only one perspective of a rogue in MRP, no look from Healer's seat or caster, and as someone pointed in comments, usage of Trinket differs between classes. And next thnig, i am not sure, but i think, i one situation in which "your" Rogue used trinket aggresively, you didn't say anything about his healer's CD's that could be crucial in using trinket that way

also, i didn't even know you COULD trinket disarm. it isn't a stun and doesn't cause you loss of control of your character, so i never would have even tried to use it for disarm, so shows wtf i know

[@Bertiemang]

Skill Capped updates their videos once an expansion. They also leave a lot of information out of the videos.

[@cedriclempereur7642]

i think in blade's edge example ,rogue trinketed cause it was every cd from the ret and he also was focusing the rogue. can't really say it's a mstake there cause if the priest got no dispel or is late to react the ret will cheese the rogue in 1 sec like we see everyay ^^

[@13dadrew]

I love these videos they help me a lot but I feel like the hard part is finding other people in lfg that know these things and are willing to communicate

[@therealjoshtodd]

i mean, i get all the arm chair quarterbacking. it's super easy, barely an inconvenience... when you can pause the video and analyze it. when you're hot in the middle of combat, you don't have time to think about this shit. you have to make INSTANST decisions

[@pulo9988]

Is pretty funny in the 2 last clips, they had the same result, using trinket to kill and losing the "80%" gamble at 1% hp, the proplayer clip is "good" gamble and the other one is "bad" xD

[@1845net]

Yes because the trinket Kalvish used COULD have landed a kill, while the other Rogue's trinket could not unless the enemy team massively choked.

[@zeeg1529]

idk how viable the example with warr+ret+shaman (9:40) is tbh. at the moment rogue trinketed shaman was still sheeped and pala was like 5% hp w/o any defensive cooldown available. if you don't trinket offensively in this case having all your dps coolies up, you don't trinket offensively at all it seems. it actually forced trinket+link from the shaman so IMHO it was a fair trade. defo not the biggest mistake there, if even a mistake at all

[@zeeg1529]

UPD: if u look closely, there's a sheep landing on shaman right after he popped the spiritlink, so probs the comms were "go for the kill, i cc sham". very unfortunately mage was like half a second late with that sheep, otherwise it would've been a game. and still, even with the late poly on a shaman they got both link AND trinket, while only sacrificing a trinket on their side, so more than a fair traid, if u ask me

[@memofreire]

Ok this video probes me that I never bypass rival rank and tbh, considering the actual state of pvp in this game, i really don't care lol xd

Or once you get close to 1600 you are fighting people with better gear then you and some uncontrollable bs that’s being abused that week, I really hope to god they just base line the gear in 9.2.5, the bullshit is fine but that gear hump you have to get over is really killing this season for me.

First rule should be find a reliable partner who wanna grow together.

[@lukrassful]

(Not clickbait)

[@leequesada439]

I don't know what this guide is going to say... But the #1 rule for leaving low CR is.... Don't get Banned for abusive chat even though you don't say shit to nobody, so you can actually play. And Blizzard never tells you "what" got you banned, so how the fuck you fix something you don't know what's going on? I'm pretty sure i got reported for calling someone a snowflake when someone was trashing him and he kept crying. "Stop being a snowflake and crying, you're just making it worse for yourself." but who really knows.

[@drateisttv9666]

all dps should try heals then cause if you waste your trink as a healer you lose the game. i feel like i hold my trink to long in games sometimes not using it once an still winning. i like 2s alot 3s is a pain in lfg cause most just use all buttons at wrong times. all cds gone in 30 secs from lfg players im no glad by no means but im duelist on 12 classes an to me im good with that....... would love to have glad but over with lfg bots the whole system is shit just cause there 270 i level doesnt mean they have games played. ive seen glads who obviously bought the ach cause they are bad on the class they are playing on. account bound glad is terrible ach an leads to alot of games being lost from someone on alt. Maybe im wrong but all i do is pug

iam also watching the league vids: smart recycling work , smart recycling!

[@brianb5976]

You can use this logic but in lower solo... people are so bad and melt... if you try to wait your team can die...

[@dermot5035]

Like the point of the video the problem isn't actually making the 80% decision. The problem is how to have the information of the status of the match in your mind when a decision needs to be made. Yes the trinkets, spell cooldowns, stuns etc is displayed in the UI but how do you look at 4-6 small locations, process what each of the icons mean (from a much larger pool of icons). There would be incredible value and improvement in gameplay if a much simpler display of information was possible, that could be more easily followed. Maybe with standard icons for all stuns, defensives, dps cooldowns, would loose some accuracy but gain simplicity.

[@Mieqo]

You can do whatever you want with your ui using weak auras. Even exactly what you are describing with default icons for each cc type. You just have to know how. For me it adds another layer of gameplay, where I "code" reactive ui for every arena situation and I space it around my character with some set rules so that it looks professional. It's a lot of work though and my major at uni was Interactive Design, so I can imagine most people don't want to be bothered with weak auras and Ui building. Hope the ui in the new expansion makes sense, but I will go on using my custom stuff.

[@wackywarrior001]

Arena is incredibly complicated, the amount of add on and weak aura I not only need but have to use optimally just to compete is insane. I don't feel like I'm playing a fantasy rpg, Arena should be Called Spreadsheet master, can you click the flash at the right time . By the time your screen is set up to play Arenas and you look at your screen you wonder ... where did my wow go .

[@mochi4259]

@@Mieqo can you send me a screen shot or video of your ui? Would be cool to see your design

[@bobstoner415]

Keep your UI as clean as possible, while displaying the most important info possible in easy to read places for you. Your UI is fully customizable and practice is key. You have to learn cd trading and when to press thoes buttons. All the info is there you just have to read it, and practice

Kinda hard to evaluate real time game play, when it takes you 4 mins to explain if he used his trinket right in 5 seconds of game play. Alot of people have a hard time climbing rating cause they can't pay attention to 15 things on your screen at once. Also in this meta you have to trade 2 or 3 defensives to live through wings or chaos bolts, even tho they say "trade cds for cds" except you are trading one or two defensive for one offensive cd is stupid.
