So I copied my rogue on to the ptr oh some 2 weeks ago, and my 2s partner a shadowpreist started queuing for matches. We have been desperately working on our comp and strats against reasonable team comps. Which is relatively hard considering 4 out of 5 times we enter it’s against ret+1. Lol I appreciate the fact that every ret pally in wow is on the ptr so I’m not overly concerned about it. I think the last time I saw a ret pally live was session 2. Even if all of the pallies in my battle group go ret they certainly won’t have the gear to support it. I do have a few questions for you thought maybe you guys could help me out.
One on one I really don’t have much of a problem with you guys, full cds to full cds. And I’m starting to get your weaknesses, one of my questions is do your main nukes require a weapon. Sometimes ill disarm you and I’ll get hit with maybe a judgment. But I’m not quite sure if it was disabling or you nuked my cos.
When would be the best time to cloak? I have been cloaking the second you guys get out of my stun lock, to avoid the hammer nuke, but I’ve been contemplating saving it and gouge vanishing instead.
Do wings mean you can still bubble?
Does resilience mitigate any of your damage?
Do silences affect all of your magic based nukes or do you have strictly melee attacks I should watch out for?
I actually find it quite fun to fight pallies because it makes me really have to plan out each move, and try to kite a reaction from the pally. I’ll give an example of my opener and attack plan for a pally if you see any glaring mistakes please let me know, please note that if the pally bubbles or trinkets my reaction tend to be different, like cloak evade runaway lol.
Ok so I open with a cheap shot
Sinister strike, sinister strike
Kidney shot
Killing spree
Disarm
Cloak
At this point they are either dead or popped a panic bubble and I vanish rinse and repeat. This seems to be pretty effective against you guys but because my cool downs aren’t prepable I’m looking for a way to save some of my cds. Any help or comments would be appreciated
