For all my stealth cappers and EFC destroyers, What talents do y’all prefer to run and why? I’ve been playing sub rogue and looking to maximize my effectiveness in RBGS. Do you switch certain talents based on the map?
the only thing I really switch is either elusiveness vs heavy melee cleave and cheat death for obvious reasons against boomies. I also swap out duel for freedom sprint sometimes. And when I play teamfight maps I use prey on the weak over shot in the dark, otherwise I take the latter for 1v1s. But I think premed, subterfuge, mfd, elusiveness, prey on the weak, enveloping shadows and master of shadows is pretty standard. I didn’t mention smoke or cold blood because you’re trolling if you don’t take those.

yeah i might switch out duel for daggers in the dark or someting.
A map where I know im going to be ninjaing or defending nodes (like Gilneas/AB) I’ll use daggers in the dark.
If its a map where im gonna be involbed in a lot of team fights, Ill use Honor among thieves instead.
Otherwise i pretty much stick to the standard build.
MIGHT switch elusiveness around with Cheat Death

Is Nightstalker ever preferable over Subterfuge? Seems like that 50% damage boost in dance might be solid when ninja capping.
Night Stalker’s only an 8% damage increase in pvp.

Pretty much always: 223x331
X = Take soothing for bases and feint for teamfights. Vs good players, cheat death is a meme. (vs rog/mage in 2s is only place I found value for it)
Its nerfed in PvP. Its still good. But subterfuge is is so clutch, so many times. And the x% dmg is covered by the extra gcd on dances.
Bomb cold blood and duel are required as pvp talents. Some trade out Duel, but then they lose ‘probably’ the best CC in the game. You can duel cap nodes. You can kidney bomb FCs then step duel a healer. Its honestly a necessity.
Never take dagger in the dark. Ever. If you skim a base sitter then they’ll start peeling for the base before you even consider opening. Its basically just sending flares out to the world on your location. Even in like a WSG… you have to trade 1 of 3 talents that are several light-years beyond daggers usefulness. Its awful. Do avoid.
The rest is pmuch covenant stuff. Like -energy for stuns. If you wanna double dip dps or finesse/endurance. Etc.
