Clever World of Warcraft: Dragonflight (open in new tab) PVP participants have discovered a rogue talent build that assassinates enemies before they can move.

World of Warcraft's new Rogue PVP build: Dragonflight takes away the chance to respond before the enemy dies. This build's ability rotation requires you to be a maximum level rogue using the subtlety specialty and have a PVP trinket that buffs your stats. subtlety is about sneaking in stealth and taking your enemies by surprise with burst damage. . Usually that damage is not lethal, but it forces the enemy to respond with healing or damage reduction abilities.

Twitch streamer Palumor shows how to do this in a YouTube video (opens in new tab). The build revolves around a series of damage buffs and two critical guarantees that double damage. One of the main abilities is Echoing Reprimand, a Shadowlands ability that just had its 50% damage nerf in PvP removed in a recent patch. This ability deals immediate damage on its own and powers up a finishing move that can be used immediately afterwards; Dragonflight's new talent tree (open in new tab) allows it to deal double the normal damage while the enemy player is incapacitated.

Start rotating from stealth to avoid detection by the enemy. Then use two stuns in a row to add a stacking damage buff to the next attack, followed by two more damage buffs from abilities and PVP trinkets. Next comes Shadowstrike, which increases base damage through talents and buffs, plus a critical twice that amount. Then, just before the opponent is free to move, Echoing Reprimand with a macro also crits for a ridiculous amount of damage to finish the combo. These two crits in a row will kill anyone if the opponent is not at full health, but you can add a finishing move on top of that to finish them off.

"I really hope Blizzard doesn't nerf this," Palumor said after demonstrating the combo. 'This damage is insane.'

One of the most popular WoW Twitch clips of the past day (opens in new tab) shows Palumor tearing off his headphones and jumping off his chair after successfully performing this combo against a druid." I didn't expect it to hit like that, bro."

Barring a lucky critical, a rogue usually can't take someone from 100% health to 0% so quickly, and Blizzard is usually quick to one-shot combos before WoW's PVP becomes a tag-team Nerfing. This build has some limitations that prevent it from completely breaking out of the current PVP situation. This build has some limitations that prevent it from completely breaking out of the current PVP status quo. In Battleground mode, where large teams fight for a goal, it will be difficult to score a combo without someone getting in the way; its primary use is to be deployed in smaller arena matches against two or three opponents, where it can be used as a combo to get a few more people to fight, or as a combo to get a few more people to fight.

Blizzard has yet to release a hotfix that changes the abilities used in this build, but Palumor doesn't expect it to last long; Dragonflight recently significantly reduced the time it takes to reach max level, but it's probably require existing rogues to be at or near 70 to try it out before it goes away.
