once

halcyon timber
#

How are you boys liking ptr?

#

Find any cool combos?

#

Love the new sprint talent

thick slate
#

so apparently rogue is looking to be above god tier in pve with that rework. How is it looking for pvp ? and which spec looks like the top dog with these changes?

halcyon timber
#

All seem solid

#

We all can crank from testing so far

#

Not sitting around on our hands

thick slate
#

Any change in the playstyle, for example for sub ? Or is it still build till sectec then do go, rinse and repeat

halcyon timber
#

It feels fluid def multiple ways to build

#

New shadow techniques is really nice

minor cape
#

we got some notes?

#

for rogue

#

checked blue post yesterday, didn't see anything

thick slate
#

we didnt get notes

#

we got a whole dictionnary lmao

#

how did you manage to miss that

minor cape
#

i checked right before they came out

#

lel

#

gonna take a look

#

Reverberation now increases Echoing Reprimand damage by 100% (was 75%).

#

what is blizzard trying to tell

thick slate
#

oh you gonna be in for a lot of surprises

minor cape
#

oh my god

#

that sub rework is INSANE

#

i want to play that

halcyon timber
#

Shit is filthy

#

God damn goremaws boyyyy

#

So happy he made that suggestion. After kingsbane came back i was a little bit sad ha

#

Where mah stabby buddy goremaw at? Haha

minor cape
#

they really just gave us 700 ways to oneshot lol

halcyon timber
#

Nahhh it will get nerfed don’t you worry. Rogue always does.

#

No one is watching the other classes but dh is getting talent updates and there are a lot of classes who got nasty updates today too.

#

Warriors are stronger too and new talents

#

Discipline seems pretty sick w their changes too. Priest friends seem to be happy so far

#

Healer trinkets being 90sec is interesting too

minor cape
halcyon timber
#

Always man

minor cape
#

but certainly more versatility

#

for us

halcyon timber
#

Yep a lot happier

#

Kit flows very well

#

Some of the outlaw kids are very happy about killing spree today too

minor cape
#

no more being either a wheelchairman who ruptures or a stunbot who bursts

#

🫡

halcyon timber
#

I fuckin hate stunbot

#

Really finally get to play the game

#

Core abilities feel good and lots of choices to customize our stuff. Im a happy stabber.

#

Mfd change is sick af

minor cape
#

now will be musthave

halcyon timber
#

Yeh boy

#

Made it more competitive w 7 cb pts . Feels clean af

#

Def my go to now

last jasper
#

Jeez I hate mfd 😂

stoic spruce
#

I officially have the best outlaw build

halcyon timber
#

Didn’t notice a big difference honestly

minor cape
#

wait it's a split between 7cp and mfd?

halcyon timber
#

Si

minor cape
#

but i wanna mfd kidney into some no ER bursts

#

😩

halcyon timber
#

Heh

#

New trees are fuggin solid

#

Sprint talent is beautiful and 2 feints

#

Will help w mosh pits

stoic spruce
#

after hours upon hours upon hours in wargame

#

I can confirm

halcyon timber
#

My man

#

Yeh boy hope your murdering was fun

stoic spruce
#

this is it

#

go crazy

halcyon timber
#

I don’t speak outlaw, care to translate please?

stoic spruce
#

big pp dam

halcyon timber
#

Ahhhh

#

I understand

#

Pp punch

#

XD

#

Seeing all the wind wankers gripe about assassination execute is cute

stoic spruce
#

yeah that execute is no joke lol

thick slate
#

there's no way we make it live or atleast 2 weeks in like this

stoic spruce
#

shhh

halcyon timber
#

Oh don’t you worry

#

People keep jinxing it and it will be “fixed”

thick slate
#

there's literally not a single spec in the game that's remotely close to how good we are looking to be

halcyon timber
#

We are getting tuned , seriously

#

We’re not dh or mages, they aint letting us slide

stoic spruce
#

I hope its just damage because Outlaw plays so fluidly and I'm scared they'll damage the fragility of it.

halcyon timber
#

Yeah i care about fluidity

#

Sitting around like a hobo isn’t fun

minor cape
#

cmon they arent letting mages slide

#

ever

stoic spruce
#

I love how much you get punished for smashing random buttons as outlaw

halcyon timber
#

Oh they do and we become stun bots for mages

minor cape
#

but dh is like

halcyon timber
#

So they can combust and such

#

Then we get blamed and nerfed

minor cape
#

dh is good - blizzard buffs dh anyway - refuses to elaborate

stoic spruce
#

since we are getting nerfed, I had Killing Spree and Ghostly Strike come back in 10 seconds

halcyon timber
#

Lets not wish it upon ourselves though

thick slate
#

but know this for sure, not a single spec, historically, became bad after the rework. even after the nerfs. it became a way better version than it was

stoic spruce
#

by using DB and Shadowdance to bring it back

thick slate
#

it fortifies its position

minor cape
halcyon timber
#

Would say realistic tuning yeah

minor cape
#

like mage becomes a damage bot for rogue

#

and rogue becomes stunbot for mage

stoic spruce
#

I actually enjoy this iteration of sub

minor cape
#

because AR EM PEEE AR EM PEEE

halcyon timber
#

Yeah it combines past and present well

#

All i give a shit about is stab stab

minor cape
#

AR EM PEEE SO SCARY

halcyon timber
#

Rrr emmmm peeeeeee peee

stoic spruce
#

It almost makes me want to take back all the bad things I said about sub players. Almost.

halcyon timber
#

Meh

halcyon timber
#

Stay classy and be cool

#

Rogues stick together

marble oasis
#

Aoe kidney for life

minor cape
stoic spruce
#

sorry broseph, I'm team aoe blind

minor cape
#

and vanish

stoic spruce
#

ride or die team aoe blind

marble oasis
halcyon timber
#

Yeh but at least our shit costs 50 energy and a 40 sec cd and it will still get nerfed anyway

marble oasis
#

Make is giga objective cappers again!

stoic spruce
#

towns not big enuff fer the two of us

halcyon timber
#

Id rather burn their house down and shit in their fridge

minor cape
#

no way aoe kidney is actually good

halcyon timber
#

It get yeeted

minor cape
#

cause it doesn't align with DR?

#

unless like

#

we still use shadowdust

halcyon timber
#

I dunno man i just rogue here

stoic spruce
#

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA

#

I got my burst back sooooo fast

halcyon timber
#

You guys wanna talk shit in voice or nah?

#

Discuss idears , its cool if not man just was askin

marble oasis
#

It’s actually insane.
Aoe kidney into dance cheaps the most giga peel going.

#

Gouges +blinds on top

halcyon timber
#

Dh does it with magic piss puddle sigil and eye beams a team down

stoic spruce
#

I cant find a better build

#

everyone is tired lol

thick slate
#

yall forgetting outlaw can blade flurry their blind too lol

halcyon timber
#

Cancel aura no?

#

Awkward but that’s prob what those scoundrels will do

thick slate
#

cancel aura what ?

halcyon timber
#

F u demo lockkkk

#

Cancel aura blade flurry to not break blind if it works how i think it does

#

Like bf > blind em all > cancel bf

thick slate
#

its an ability you press

#

it doesnt randomly work with blade flurry

#

theres an ability you take

#

that makes it like this

#

but yeah defo cancel aura BF after blind

halcyon timber
#

Right i get that but the application part is what i think is what we are agreeing on

thick slate
#

Yeah i misunderstood at start

halcyon timber
#

Bf to affect 3+ targets plus the actual target > blind > cancel flurry > pp slap time

#

If that’s how it works / shrug

stoic spruce
#

I don't know if there's room to grab it tbh

halcyon timber
#

Do ittt for rogue science

stoic spruce
#

Of course

#

In the morning

#

So freaking sleepy

halcyon timber
#

Yeh man

stoic spruce
#

Been on that grind all night

halcyon timber
#

Yeh man i hear ya

#

Warped af

stoic spruce
#

Thinking about her (10.2 outlaw)

halcyon timber
#

XD proper

stoic spruce
#

Bro

#

Adrenaline rush in stealth was such a huge W

halcyon timber
#

That’s sick affff

#

John wick stuff now

stoic spruce
#

Opening with BtE breadblade

halcyon timber
#

I hope to avoid knee jerk nerfs this go around

stoic spruce
#

And then killing spree + ghostly strike and then dreadblades + shadow dance to get KS + GS back so fast

#

I LOVE IT ERIDIAN

#

Also, 4 set is great

#

Unfortunately will be nerfed in pvp

#

Somehow

halcyon timber
#

Yeah its sick af

#

Im really happy to see everyone enjoying stuff

#

Tier will be cut by 50% as expected, doesn’t really bother me much as long as core kit is solid

#

Extra stuff is neat and all but yeah

stoic spruce
#

I have to distance myself from ptr

#

If I keep playing, I'll be even more mad when it gets nerfed.

halcyon timber
#

Its normal my dude

#

Testing and giving our boy data is the best we can do for our class

#

Honest testing at that

#

Nerds in Sl beta just wanted to gem stack old wrath gear and cheese bosses and we paid big time for it

#

Along with world trinkets and such that were used in pvp

halcyon timber
#

Yep

stoic spruce
#

I've never heard of this lol

halcyon timber
#

Yeah they put a scaling buff on everyone and people ran to get old triple gem slot stuff from wrarh

#

Wrath

#

And it kicked up too so yeah

#

Bfa there was a lot of dumb stuff going on too during beta

stoic spruce
#

That's funny. Can't believe I was out of the loop.

#

Eyes heavy

#

Goodnight gamer

halcyon timber
#

Better off honestly man

#

Night man

#

See ya

sour charm
#

Did anyone test sudden demise?

wary spire
#

Okay guys. Hear me out. Shadow dance on assa.

sour charm
#

What are you dropping for it?

#

MFD?

wary spire
#

Healing, stuns and all we'd have to lose is some puny ER and, um, some boring strikes...

sour charm
#

With improved garrote still being nerfed in PvP dance is less of a dmg increase than it might seem for Assa at least

wary spire
#

But utility!

#

If we're not getting any updates in defensives on assa side I took it upon myself to create the tankiest abomination.

#

Wanna test this out. Right side is kinda skuffed but maybe it has potential.

sour charm
#

Do you really think the heal is going to make you much more tanky

wary spire
#

Not much, but more. starege

halcyon timber
#

Feint x2 + Iron stomach + recuperator and deadened nerves being buffed slightly might be it

#

Like, its def something worth looking at for sure. I friggin dig it.

#

Not including iron wire / blackjack etc could def help with timing and kiting as us rogues do.

#

Definitely a lot better than flying fidget spinners ( combat readiness returning)

minor cape
#

i like this rogue tree a lot

#

except for where attack distance and recuperator is

#

🫡

#

anyone got a screen of sub tree?

sour charm
minor cape
#

oh nice ty g

languid ravine
#

Not sure this is good, so many dead ass utility talents in first row

#

maybe its good to put them all first row

minor cape
#

but look how much shit you can get in the bottom rows

#

this is legit great

languid ravine
#

but also its just four straight lines

minor cape
#

you can play finality shadowdust

#

now

#

this is cracked

#

AND the gblade

minor cape
#

no point to take it

#

🤔

#

or idk we can only be guessing rn

languid ravine
#

idk, middle right half seems too mandatory/efficient where the vanish shield leads to all the must have nodes

#

swift death is just completely a dead node where its placed

minor cape
#

i never played it before

#

too

#

so i don't mind

languid ravine
#

then why have it exist in the game

wary spire
#

Do you guys think mfd or ER + AS is better for assa?

surreal barn
#

So does shroud of concealment take people out of combat now

wary spire
#

Still debating what better to cut for sd.

surreal barn
#

Why all the extra talents

languid ravine
wary spire
languid ravine
#

its probably too good to pass up with new shadow technique combo point hoarding and goremaws

#

assuming neither of those are completely undertuned

#

and if that is true then we ll have even more concentrated damage windows

#

dubbed by blizz as "high intensity moments the spec is known for"

#

lmao

#

there miight even be a world where new shadow techniques works well with echoing reprimand making this situation even worse but not sure about this one

wary spire
#

Eeeh

languid ravine
#

gloomblade supports looks like it will play like trash

#

its like aligning the stars, every 6th builder is buffed, builder after dance is buffed, builder after rotten is buffed

#

have fun tracking those with your weakaura

surreal barn
#

Lol echoing reprimand and sepsis award max combo points with 25 and 10 energy while the new version of shadow blades is up

#

Add to goremaws for free finishers

#

With MfD you’re at so many macabre stacks

wary spire
#

Wonder what spec will be the least nerfed one in the end.

torn stump
#

what about outlaw pvp talent like this?

quaint cedar
#

You want spree, it actually does damage now

#

Also probably need vigor too

wary spire
#

Isn't sting like a bee nerfed to nothing in pvp?

torn stump
wary spire
#

Float feels like a better deal.

torn stump
#

can choose before the battle.

wary spire
#

People in ptr for assa are cooking something with kinksbane.

acoustic junco
#

you definitely want killing spree and ghostly strike. You can macro ghostly into other abilities since it's off GCD.

quaint cedar
#

Was ghostly still on restless blades? Forgot to check that yesterday when I was on ptr

austere thorn
#

Can someone with ptr access check if crackshot works during dance?

quaint cedar
#

It does

austere thorn
#

Thats busted

quaint cedar
#

Works during subterfuge too

#

And underhanded

#

Feels awesome lol

austere thorn
#

Does it? Kalv tested it said it doesnt?

#

With subterfuge/underhanded

quaint cedar
#

Was definitely working for me yesterday

austere thorn
#

Thats completely busted if it does lmao

quaint cedar
#

No reason to say that right now

#

This is first iteration. Talents and numbers can change.

#

All I know is that it feels really great to play with

#

This is exactly how I wanted outlaw to have burst. I love these ways you can combine stuff and set up a short burst window

#

So much more interesting than "me warrior, me press avatar, me do 15% more damage for 20 sec"

austere thorn
#

Lowkey best change is BTE switching from a debuff on target to a buff on rogue

quaint cedar
#

Yes! That is huge

#

So much better that way

wary spire
#

Wait, ks kills you when you have dreadblades up?

supple briar
#

I hope they keep that in, would be hilarious to witness

wary spire
#

Suicide spree.

torn stump
#

ghostly strike + killing spree need 35+45 energy, not sure good for pvp.

#

ghostly strike and blade rush is 2choice1, pvp need blade rush.

shadow creek
#

I've been monkeying around with different builds outside of Crackshot, and I gotta say this one slaps. Macroing Ghostly Strike+Cold Blood+BtE and then hitting Killing Spree, you can do massive burst every 45 seconds. With Improved BtE it's a banger. BQQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAkQSSTSAEJJJiEJplkEtAFJAAAAAAIpEJSKJShkSKBAAAgEBA

wary spire
#

Won't 4 vers be better than 1 stam?

shadow creek
#

Yup, changed it here: BQQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAkQSSTCARSSiIRSaJJRLQRCAAAAAASKRikSSShkSKBAAAgEBA

#

I think on PTR it's still 5%, but the vers is still more valuable.

quaint cedar
#

stam is pretty worth in pvp, it's buffed in pvp combat to 15%

shadow creek
#

Yeah stam and vers are both important, they bookend mitigation...gotta play around a little more with the build

#

Also: Blackjack + Airborne Irritant means we can apply a 30% healing & damage debuff to up to 5 targets...I haven't tested it yet but that seems pretty good

quaint cedar
#

only if the bug was ever fixed. currently it's bugged to not work with blind, only sap

#

but yeah, that could be good against melee teams as a tradeoff for not using blind on the healer

shadow creek
#

Yeah good callout. I mostly play rated BGs, and being able to neuter up to 5 targets focused on an ally during team fight would be clutch I think

austere thorn
#

Uhh if crackshot works with subterfuge/underhanded/dance and you play both +15% mov speed talents (which are now much easier to get), that means with boarding party pvp talent we're gonna have permanent 160% move speed baseline

quaint cedar
#

oh damn

#

boarding party actually good now?

#

I didn't even think about that

austere thorn
#

Sprint was also buffed with the talent so thats like what, 290% move speed?

quaint cedar
#

LOL

#

I love it

#

man I wish we could take more pvp talents

#

we have so many good ones now

#

take your cut could be even better now that we have some stuff that scales with haste

austere thorn
#

They gonna nerf killing spree im pretty sure
They should

quaint cedar
#

why should they?

#

seems fine to me

shadow creek
#

My biggest wish with the PvP talents is to make Smoke Bomb baseline. But yeah, there are a lot of good choices now

quaint cedar
#

Did we forget how hard other classes can hit?

#

Other classes still burst way harder than outlaw even with the changes

#

Not sure why we are advocating for nerfs on day freaking 1 here

shadow creek
#

KS is literally Outlaw’s only real burst, the buff is not only appropriate, it’s been a long time coming, imo

quaint cedar
#

I saw a fury warrior test damage on ptr and killed way faster than outlaw even with every modifier stacked

#

We really trying to make outlaw 0 burst again?

#

Let us have this lol

austere thorn
quaint cedar
#

Imagine a dps spec being able to burst like literally every other spec in the game

#

Madness!

austere thorn
#

Thats a close to 200k finisher

#

Crackshot during dance I mean

quaint cedar
#

But that's with 0 defensives pressed and no CC

austere thorn
#

U get like 3 finishers during dance

quaint cedar
#

In a real pvp scenario you're not going to hit a training dummy that doesn't react to you

austere thorn
#

Thats a fuck ton of damage

quaint cedar
#

Play any other spec. They can all do that

shadow creek
#

I think a lot of us may have Stockholm syndrome with how low are burst has been for years. This just brings us up to other comparable classes, like fury, or survival Hunter

quaint cedar
#

Stop gaslighting yourself into thinking outlaw doesn't deserve to have burst that every other spec has

#

Also, healers are getting a 1.5 min trinket in 10.2. We're going to need burst now more than ever to be viable

#

We can't keep going down this path of being a 0 burst spec

#

These are good and healthy changes for the spec

austere thorn
#

I mean im an outlaw main I rly want the spec to be good but I can see it being oppressive

#

Thats why I asked earlier if crackshot works with subterfuge/dance

wary spire
#

You can still get stunned in ks, right?

austere thorn
#

Yes

wary spire
#

I mean.

quaint cedar
#

Yeah, no cc immunity like before

austere thorn
#

Ideally u just send it after kidney/cheap

wary spire
#

If a burst that is telegraphed THIS badly deals okay damage I think it's fair.

quaint cedar
#

I'd assume disarm interrupts it too

#

Yeah. In 3s you'd have to cross CC if you want to get spree off. You're not going to just send it out and expect it to not get stopped

shadow creek
#

It should really be immune to cc, it’s almost identical to Bladestorm

quaint cedar
#

I'm fine with it. We have more lockdown than a warrior does, so we can reliably get it off if we plan ahead

#

Also, you can walk out of bladestorm. You can't do that with spree

shadow creek
#

True enough

quaint cedar
#

If they made it CC immune then the damage would probably get nuked and I'd rather have it do damage than be a CC immunity

stoic spruce
quaint cedar
#

No more using killing spree for a defensive or root break or some other silly utility lol

#

ngl I hope that blade rush gets moved somewhere else. I'm going to really miss it if it stays this way

#

always was one of my favorite outlaw buttons

#

I just love the animation for it and it feels cool to zip from target to target using hook and blade rush together

shadow creek
#

Ghostly, strike being off the GDC is so juicy

quaint cedar
#

agreed, very happy about that change

stoic spruce
#

I spent hours upon hours in wargame and this is the best sauce

#

Go crazy

torn stump
quaint cedar
stoic spruce
#

Not at all

quaint cedar
#

Interesting

#

I felt a bit starved at times on ptr, wonder if I was doing something wrong. And that was with vigor

#

Did you change your gear at all? Like go haste or anything?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I went more haste

quaint cedar
#

Ahh ok

stoic spruce
#

Idr my exact stats

quaint cedar
#

Do you actually use dreadblades? I can't really find a good use for it right now

#

Or is it just to get to fan and KS?

wary spire
#

People on the forum are already crying about rogue chances lol.

stoic spruce
#

Yes actually. It completes the build. So what I found is on opener you AR, RtB, BtE, Ambush/Pistol to full, macro KS+GS, DB and Shadow Dance. I have gotten KS+GS back in less than 10 seconds.

quaint cedar
#

Oh and minor nitpick on your build Popo, but I think Loaded Dice would be better than sleight. Guarenteed 2 roll on AR is nice and we have AR so often too

stoic spruce
#

I tested this with 4 set too

quaint cedar
#

Ohhh interesting. Yeah, I can see DB + dance being a good combo

stoic spruce
#

I had a reason for not taking it but idr

quaint cedar
#

How bad is the self damage?

stoic spruce
#

I'll probably take it

#

Oh it could kill you

#

Actually no

#

Not bad

#

Not too bad I mean

#

The DB/KS interaction is so funny though

quaint cedar
#

Ok. Leeching poison might help a bit with that actually

#

Yeah, I'd imagine that's a bug but it's also so funny I kind of want it to stay

#

Wouldn't be outlaw/combat if it didn't have at least one way to kill itself right? lol

stoic spruce
#

Lol yeah

#

Yknow, if you told me that outlaw would be opening with BtE, I'd call you all sorts of things.

quaint cedar
#

Crackshot is seriously one of the coolest new talents outlaw has gotten

#

I love it so much

#

It actually solves one of my problems I've always had with outlaw too, which is that it takes forever to set up. When you open from stealth you really aren't ready to send damage until like 10 seconds later, which feels weird for a stealth class.

stoic spruce
#

Have you tried the tier?

quaint cedar
#

Now you can just send it with BtE right away

stoic spruce
#

Lol yeah

#

Open up with a finisher

#

The BtE change is also really big

quaint cedar
#

Yeah, I tried tier. Wasn't paying too much attention to it though tbh

stoic spruce
#

Is good

quaint cedar
#

Yeah, I love that it's a buff on the rogue now. So much better

stoic spruce
#

Everything is coming up Outlaw

quaint cedar
#

Who were you doing wargames with?

#

I want in on this lol

stoic spruce
#

Some friends of mine

quaint cedar
#

Agreed. New changes are so fun. I know some people were hoping outlaw would get simplified a bit, but I'm all for it. Give me all the tools to play with.

#

I like outlaw being complicated. Specs like fury warrior put me to sleep. Can't play them.

stoic spruce
#

Yeah I like how punishing Outlaw is if you button mash.

#

You'll see big damage drop off and lack of energy if you press random shit lol

quaint cedar
#

Right. I think that's a good thing.

#

I love how the new talents lean into this even more. You're rewarded for planning ahead.

wary spire

I keep screwing up on ptr and pressing BtE before dance. I like that I actually have to think about when to press it now. Before it was mostly just "use on CD" if you played GSW

#

Setting up burst windows with the new talents is just so satisfying. I can't get over how cool it is

#

Dying for 10.2 to come out now lol

stoic spruce
#

I don't even want to touch rated pvp until next patch

quaint cedar
#

Good thing I already got my duelist illusion

#

Definitely going to be spending a lot of time in ptr

#

With these changes, outlaw is actually going to be fun in shuffle for once. Right now on live it's so frustrating. I feel like in some lobbies I have 0 control over the outcome of the game, because I have no burst. If people don't press defensives and die in 30 seconds, I just end up auto losing every round

#

Having burst is going to be huge

waxen meteor
#

It’s kinda fun I finally got to know some specs in detail

teal silo
#

did anyone record outlaw on dummy or something?

waxen meteor
#

Like I finally understand why marksman kills people in 2 globals

teal silo
#

saw palumor testing sub earlier

New Talent: Sudden Demise (Passive) – Your Bleed damage increased by 10%. Targets below 35% health instantly bleed out and take fatal damage when the remaining Bleed damage you would deal to them exceeds 200% of their remaining health. this just guna insta kill people who hit like 20% health with fresh bleeds up ?

jolly sierra
#

tested that

#

yeah u gave persons strokes

#

and fucking dies

#

the problem is to test this stuff, u need a healer in ptr to give a shot

#

and see how viable it is

#

still need more endurace

#

BTW dropped DTB dmg is fucking shit with a 24% proc rate

#

(checked it in last night with Delussional Pirate)

#

rule of thumb

if internal bleeding wins in overall dps against deadly poison then is fucking shit

chrome schooner
#

why would it be a bad thing

#

it's not like you hvae to choose

chrome schooner
#

as long as they are below 35, if at any points your bleeds exceed 2x the % they are at, they insta die

#

And considering Rupture applies IB, that you have the newly remade Exsang, etc etc, it's not actually that complicated to make it happen at the moment

waxen meteor
#

I feel that going to be nerfed for pvp soon

#

Wont survive till live probably

jolly sierra
#

usually deadly poison is one of the highest sources

waxen meteor
#

probably next seaon would be AP and sudden demise

jolly sierra
#

btw, have u done a build?

#

ppl is little undecisive here about what to run lol

inner tartan
#

next season how will outlaw be looking like ?

chrome schooner
#

I mean

#

Doing a build rn is sort of pointless as the trees are very, very likely to change

jolly sierra
#

sudden demise is good af, when i played against Delussional Pirate the guy got 190k strokes insta

chrome schooner
#

But if I should give you a build right now, let me see

jolly sierra
#

oh thank you

#

im thinking in leaving feedback ingame anyways, still feels the lack of defensives

waxen meteor
#

Yeah defiantly it doesn’t guide next season at all atm

jolly sierra
#

even with double feint

waxen meteor
#

Tons of change would income I guess

jolly sierra
#

hope so

waxen meteor
#

And it doesn’t make any sense in rogue tree to force us picking another poison before wounded

chrome schooner
#

Something like that

waxen meteor
#

Especially for non dtb and sin rogue

chrome schooner
#

Assuming you play Deadly/Crippling and Hemotoxin as your only MS since Shiv will be so powerful and all your kill windows will be revolving around it

#

If you want Wound instead then you take the point from Tight Spender to put into Improved Wound

dusky quartz
chrome schooner
#

Also i am not sure whether Deadly Precision is worth keeping over Virulent Poisons if you play Deadly, I kinda put it by default since it makes Garrote and KB crit more for big dam on top of the added CPs from other builders, but maybe with only 5% taking more poison damage is better idk

jolly sierra
#

lets see

chrome schooner
#

Also i'm thinking Indiscrimate Carnage could be very, VERY good, especially with shiv being AoE 30% more damage now

#

But that means taking a point from Kingsbane or SBS, which are both really good looking

torn stump
#

have a question, about outlaw pvp, which one better Lethality or Vigor?

chrome schooner
#

Also, if CT ends up being too OP, (as it looks strong rn from what I was told)

jolly sierra
#

as i check the tree

chrome schooner
#

Then maybe you take the points away from Vicious Venom and Fatal Concoction to put into Thrown Precision, Crimson Tempest, and Flying Daggers

#

And if you do that then Deadly Precision is probably better than Virulent Poisons since you won't have the second Poison amp from the Assa tree idk

chrome schooner
#

Simply, I was against picking it over DTB as DTB is way, way better right now

jolly sierra
chrome schooner
#

Yeha well, there were better options

jolly sierra
#

or something like that

stoic spruce
jolly sierra
#

my memory is not that bad haha

chrome schooner
#

It doesn't mean it's bad in itself, just if you have better, then I'll be against it because it's not the best :p

stoic spruce
#

And I tested for hours and hours

chrome schooner
#

But right now since you WILL go for Arterial Precision as it's way too broken

#

KB is just one extra point for a good strong cd

jolly sierra
#

shivs seems strong af rn

chrome schooner
#

even if it gets somewhat countered, it's free dmg that prompts defensives for just one oint without going out of your way for it, unlike in prepatch

#

yes, shiv is back to its late sl version

#

does everything

jolly sierra
#

well, agree in that

chrome schooner
#

coffee in the morning, too

jolly sierra
#

kek

chrome schooner
#

Back to the Kidney Shiv meta

#

But since the CD will be 30s

#

It means you can't use the 2nd charge like an imbecile anymore

jolly sierra
#

F

chrome schooner
#

You can only ever Kidney Shiv, and never use the 2nd charge

jolly sierra
#

im thinking and how ill open now

#

cuz mfd is 40s cd

chrome schooner
#

Because only the 2nd charge will allow you to get a Shiv on the next Kidney

jolly sierra
#

maybe w cheap shot?

chrome schooner
#

Yeah MfD will have to be used different

#

You want to keep it for huge damage as it gives 15% extra

jolly sierra
#

also it buffs finisher dmg

#

yeah for that

#

maybe ER then mfd?

chrome schooner
#

We are going to play badge, too

#

Finally we'll have insane burst

jolly sierra
#

for exsang?

#

interesting

chrome schooner
#

Exsang is off global

#

So

#

What you can do

#

You wanna do a go, right

#

Kidney

#

Shiv

#

And then you press the macro

#

BADGE EXSANG KB

stoic spruce
#

Oh I wonder if Outlaw will play CD trinket. I should test that later

chrome schooner
#

MfD Envenom

jolly sierra
#

and the guy starts panicking

chrome schooner
#

And then you spam

#

and people die

jolly sierra
#

= D

stoic spruce
#

Love to see it

jolly sierra
#

gotta test more tho, maybe w SS

chrome schooner
#

A shame that Poison Bomb is where it is now

#

Not having it makes Envenom worse

jolly sierra
#

poison bomb is now flexible it seems

chrome schooner
#

It gets buffed from other sources though so maybe it's not a big deal

jolly sierra
#

i was dropping it yesterday when i tried to test DTB

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

#

Unless you find yourself energy starved

torn stump
#

and which one better Leeching Poison or Cold Blood?

stoic spruce
#

This is what I ran. Happy to answer questions.

#

I just found Cold Blood to be another bind I didn't want to press.

tribal badger
#

CB isnt particularly valuable to outlaw

#

we dont have any single very hard hitting spells to use it on

#

plus a naturally high crit rate

#

even without the stat

minor cape
#

i think some take it even now but im not sure why

stoic spruce
torn stump
#

thanks

stoic spruce
#

Buff CtO

stoic spruce
#

Have fun and mind your energy

torn stump
#

what about DPH between Dispatch&BtE&Killing Spree?

stoic spruce
#

DHS?

torn stump
#

at the same conditions

stoic spruce
#

What's DHS

torn stump
stoic spruce
#

What's DPH lol

torn stump
#

damage per hit

stoic spruce
#

Ahh

#

I don't think I remember

#

I'm about to log on and test stuff again though

#

Damage is good though. Not actually obscene at all.

torn stump
#

Dispatch & BtE & Killing Spree, what is their proportion?

stoic spruce
#

That's in 10.1 gear though since 10.2 pvp gear isn't available.

#

I don't remember

#

BtE is the highest if I remember correctly

halcyon timber
#

P P S L A M is all that is going down

stoic spruce
#

Hehe yeah

torn stump
#

GS+KS have a problem, 35+45 energy, Are they worth 80 energy?

stoic spruce
#

Ye

halcyon timber
#

Definitely man, gotta be on meth if you think its not

torn stump
#

how many dmg are there in GS+KS?

halcyon timber
#

Target takes 15% from you and off gcd

torn stump
#

I know that's so good.

halcyon timber
#

It’s filthy af

stoic spruce
halcyon timber
#

Don’t min max too hard or you’ll ruin the game for yourself like the pve channels

stoic spruce
#

You can take vigor if it's giving you problems

#

Yeah

#

They never look like they're having fun

halcyon timber
#

Tahis iSh 2% bbEhInD tHisTh

#

Like good lord shaddup

stoic spruce
#

Lol

tribal badger
#

Kspree does more damage then any of them

#

BtE and dispatch are close

torn stump
#

I think better make Blade Rush single, and Dreadblades+Ghostly Strike 2choice1.

stoic spruce
#

Ptr is happy though

tribal badger
#

but thats averaging in ur rtb buff that buffs bte

halcyon timber
#

Killing spree isn’t a defensive anymore yeg boy

#

Yeh

stoic spruce
#

Killing spree feels like that first scoop of ice cream from a brand new tub of ice cream.

halcyon timber
#

Mm mint chocolate murder

#

Best one

stoic spruce
#

Why yes I would like some cookoe dough with my killing

halcyon timber
#

XD yeh man

#

Effing crazy man

#

From ptr though it seems we arent ridiculous though

#

Seen warlocks and dh and other mindless banana brains destroying stuff w the new talents they also received etc

stoic spruce
#

The damage was comparable to everyone else

halcyon timber
#

Agreed

#

How dare rogues do an ability for 90k like other classes

torn stump
#

and Killing Spree maybe 35energy, maybe nerf a few dmg.

#

35+45 is high costs.

halcyon timber
#

Hard pass fool

stoic spruce
#

Nothing does damage worthy of nerfing though

halcyon timber
#

Higher cost = allowed to slap someone’s face off again

#

Low cost = toddler ball tapping people only to get punted after

#

Not shit “needs” to be nerfed

stoic spruce
#

Some talents do need moving though

halcyon timber
#

Found something?

stoic spruce
#

Yes

#

Need is a strong word but it bugs me a lot

halcyon timber
#

Like i see what the pve kids were getting at but f that, there should be choices and they can’t have everything

#

Nerf tea and problem fixed as well

stoic spruce
#

ah wait nvm

torn stump
halcyon timber
#

Nah man lol

tribal badger
#

why

halcyon timber
#

Makes zero sense

tribal badger
#

its nice having heavy hitting spells with higher costs for a "burst" window

#

we already spam low cost zero damage buttons constantly

#

its supposed to give you a momentary change from that

stoic spruce
#

this area felt weird but I didnt realize you can take Summarily Dispatched into KS if you dont want DB.

#

but you have to take CtO though

tribal badger
#

I mean you'll need to take DB or the BF talent anyway

stoic spruce
#

yeah

tribal badger
#

ur not gunna wanna play without fth in any capacity

stoic spruce
#

im just saying in general

tribal badger
#

kinda sad thats not more centralized in the tree but u cant have everything ig

halcyon timber
#

Grandpa Eridian is gonna tell you a tale as true as the night sky, before the sundering, before the legion invaded a 3rd time…. Rogues did damage. We kicked people in the pp and abilities actually hurt and cost s lot of energy

#

The end

stoic spruce
#

why fan the hammer is this low in the tree baffles me tbh

tribal badger
#

its a strong talent

#

central to basically every outlaw build

#

low makes sense, but being so far off to the side

#

is what i dislike

#

shoulda just been a capstone honestly

halcyon timber
#

Ur a central talent bb

#

Fan is pretty damn filthy though

#

Very cool talent

languid ravine
halcyon timber
#

Really cool exsanguinate has 2 effects

jolly sierra
#

it does has interaction

#

cuz it duplicates the dmg there

halcyon timber
#

And the execute was a really cool idea and hopefully doesn’t get tuned to be crappy crap

jolly sierra
#

checked by myself too

#

in duels

languid ravine
#

yes you get bonus damage when it ticks

#

its completely unrelated to your total bleed values

stoic spruce
#

this set is growing on me. Giving me Fall/Halloween vibes.

languid ravine
languid ravine
#

what exsang effect lol

jolly sierra
#

this one

#

the active

languid ravine
#

what the fuck did I say

#

does exsang procc when your rupture for example bleeds out instantly from sudden demise?

jolly sierra
#

spend 200 energy instantly

#

no dude

#

i just click the button

languid ravine
#

and then what

jolly sierra
#

duplicate 100% my dmg

tribal badger
#

i think blackguard is asking if the damage inc from exsang is calculated in the execute from sudden demise

#

like is it taking the future damage from bonus bleed ticks from exsang to calculate 200% of targets hp

languid ravine
#

are you on PTR right now? what the fuck does exsang do

tribal badger
#

increasing the execute range dramatically

jolly sierra
#

lemme check again

languid ravine
#

the wording lets me believe that each tick will suck out 10 points of your energy bar to deal double damage

#

as long as you are above 100 energy

tribal badger
#

thats the passive version yes

#

the passive version is a bit problematic right now as you basically cant go over 100 energy

#

it sucks energy up way faster then u can generate it

#

the active version is more playable

chrome schooner
#

It sucks it exactly as fast as Venomous Wounds gives it back

languid ravine
#

passive gonna be more of a PvE cleave thing then?

chrome schooner
#

Which means you gain energy as long as you hold globals

jolly sierra
#

it duplicates active dmg everytime bleeds ticks

chrome schooner
#

But if you spend, you spend

tribal badger
#

really did something change from whispyrs pin?

#

i havent tested it myself but whisper said u basically cant get above 100 energy with the passive version

languid ravine
#

yea makes sense because energy gain from bleeds is = energy spent from exsang

jolly sierra
#

yesterday tested it in a duel

#

w exsang active

#

and did 190k

#

insta

tribal badger
#

u should test if the bonus tick damage is being calculated in the execute

#

see if it goes off at different thresholds for a single bleed with exsang vs without

languid ravine
#

yeah I was wrong, exsang should interact fine with sudden demise

jolly sierra
#

look

languid ravine
#

nah threshold is gonna be the exact same

jolly sierra
#

it does affect by 200%the total remaining health

#

if it hit by 190k

tribal badger
#

if it does thats very strong

languid ravine
#

same threshold, double the overkill damage

tribal badger
#

yea what matters is the threshold

#

not the damage

jolly sierra
#

then the guy had 95k hp remaining

#

if ur bleeds can do overall 190k then do that amount

#

(active ones)

languid ravine
#

exsang does not add active bleed

#

it empowers bleed ticks

jolly sierra
#

yeah

#

so that is the reason

#

did 190k

#

cuz empowered the ticks

halcyon timber
#

Dingdingdingding

jolly sierra
#

DINGDINGDING

languid ravine
#

Round Two! FIGHT!

tribal badger
#

I am not following, are you saying it scales with it or it doesnt

#

i assume you are saying it does

jolly sierra
#

it scales

tribal badger
#

👍

halcyon timber
#

ROGUE INTENSIFIES!!!

languid ravine
#

seems to work as intended

#

imagine saying that about a blizz feature

#

and it is not a stealth breaking bug in the game for half a year

wary spire
#

Gotta say, outlaw feels more fun. Assa feels more fun.

#

Sub's kinda the same.

languid ravine
#

yeah but no 2set and maybe no vanish cdr :^)

halcyon timber
#

Im really happy with how shadow blades and techniques was changed. Made it way smoother.

#

Stab stab instead of lurking like a hobo in a wendys parking lot

jolly sierra
#

fucking shit how tf they never fixed it

#

im going for next tier to orgri

minor cape
#

imagine blades being useful for something besides shadowstrike

jolly sierra
#

oh new trophies of strife

minor cape
#

this worldpvp?

#

or you mean trophy of conq

#

also will there still be that fucking sparks quest?

jolly sierra
#

dunno im checking the tier rn

minor cape
#

do we have info on tier sets?

#

🤔

jolly sierra
#

im checking its stats

#

im sorting by most to least in distribution

#

my writing is fkn shit

#

but those are the stat spreads for now

#

im taking off my shitty gear

wary spire
#

I'll take the vers/cum pants please and thank you.

jolly sierra
#

something to consider

#

dunno if the wording is fine here

#

but

#

tf is wrong here

minor cape
#

the real ones have cum pants irl

sour charm
minor cape
jolly sierra
sour charm
#

I mean I was huffing copium and played with like 21% crit on assa this season

minor cape
#

no more mastery stacking?

jolly sierra
#

nuh uh

sour charm
#

But with the rework it is even more mastery heavy

minor cape
#

or its just asa

sour charm
#

Could run like gloves/shoulders or helm I guess, depending on just how much vers we get on the PvP gear

#

I would be very surprised if they keep the versa budget on pvp items as high as it is currently

#

we are already well past the DR point

jolly sierra
#

i need to test more the bonus 4

tribal badger
#

what do u think is wrong, seems like its just missing a zero to me

jolly sierra
#

or maybe two

#

heh

tribal badger
#

idk 16k damage onto envenom is like

#

another full cp consumed or more right

#

plus it aoes

#

160k sounds like a bit much

jolly sierra
#

lemme see

#

maybe is a typo issue

#

alright something to consider

#

the 4set indeed hits by 1600

#

XD

#

im copying my retail pvp addons

quaint cedar
#

Also makes leveling an outlaw rogue so painful. Even on live it's in around the same spot and it takes until like lvl 50 something to get it

#

I barely made it through leveling my 2nd outlaw because it was so miserable to play at low levels

tribal badger
#

yea i mean

#

sub is always da wae for leveling

#

stealth > teleport for free with shadowstrike > shadowstrike > finisher > mobs dead > restealth

#

infinite teleports in questing content

jolly sierra
#

kingsbane hits like a truck wtf

halcyon timber
#

Driving home boys, catch up in a few

halcyon timber
jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

LOL

halcyon timber
queen geyser
#

Boys, this slaps

#

And I'm not even doing it right

jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

Always report and test with honesty

#

This is the first iteration and realz already said stuff was going to change when we talked to him the other day.

jolly sierra
#

yeah seems like ghostly strike isn't gone yet

chrome schooner
# jolly sierra

IC with a Shadowdance build could very well not be "dead af" !

jolly sierra
#

hitting everything with garrote and rupture at least for me was crazy af, but after dropping to 3, damn, that hurts

#

btw, will shadow dance be viable in assa?

chrome schooner
#

I do not see the future!

#

But yeah in a RBG context it's worse for sure

jolly sierra
#

oof

#

well, lets see what will happen lol

halcyon timber
#

Ks being a finisher is one of the filthiest things it seems. Good for outlaw kids man, glad they got a crap ton of toys now

chrome schooner
#

But tbh

#

CT looks much better than it was

waxen meteor
#

Regardless the wounded poison part needs to be addressed for all specs

chrome schooner
#

So AoE should be ok

halcyon timber
#

Imp wound

#

Im a fan of blackjack moving up as it did.If blind worked on it as advertised then it wouldn’t bother me much w wound

pale storm
#

Interesting

jolly sierra
#

ppl is whining hard for CT in forums

halcyon timber
#

How so?

#

It stinks or?

jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

Uncool (tomatoes from ssx tricky on the screen)

#

What do you propose be altered again?

jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

Thebdirect damage seemed solid

jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

Right on that seems fair

#

Hows that new splash talent fairing?

jolly sierra
#

the wat

halcyon timber
#

Read on that yesterday and thought it sounded cool

chrome schooner
#

It's instead of Internal Bleeding

#

So

#

Idk about that

halcyon timber
#

Theres an acidic splash talent type deal you guys got

chrome schooner
#

It's a choice node with Internal Bleeding

#

And it requires you using Mutilate

halcyon timber
#

Seem cool?

chrome schooner
#

No

halcyon timber
#

Dang

jolly sierra
#

nope

#

also

chrome schooner
#

You want to use Fan of Knives when you AoE

#

Not Mutilate

jolly sierra
#

internal bleeding is hitting very hard

chrome schooner
#

And not IB triggers on Rupture as well, so you really want it

jolly sierra
#

compared to current iteration

halcyon timber
#

Good

jolly sierra
#

if they buff just a 0 for 4set in assa

#

im leaning to 2set

halcyon timber
#

No blinks an eye when dragon flap their butt cheeks in taco bell breath and nuke a team

#

What’s the set do for you guys?

#

Is it sick?

jolly sierra
#

also, seems like the 2set when overlaps each other in stacks it replaces even buffs with higher stacks

#

for example if u got 7, then 15 and u spend energy again u can drop to 5 stacks, even if u have not its effect over

#

sec

halcyon timber
#

K

jolly sierra
#

im talking rn about the 2set effect

#

the 4set is dissapointing af rn, for me it hits like by 1600 with 60% mastery baseline

halcyon timber
#

Sound’s bugged

#

The 4 set doing 1600? Jeeze

#

Sounds like a mini poison bomb

#

Is it guaranteed to explode as in the tooltip?

#

Sounds cool but yeah i see how that is frustrating

jolly sierra
#

guaranteed

#

but weak af

#

even if it does hit by 16k

#

im sure doesn't worth it

halcyon timber
#

Dk looks filthy. Good for them man

jolly sierra
#

damn

#

imagine that as the rog tier

halcyon timber
#

Small bonuses are nice i guess. Would rather have strong core kit than being reliant on tier or gimmicks.

#

Lotsa plate, i def prefer light armor and shiz to be swift.

#

The new rogue gear is still cool but I’ll still mix and match though.

#

In like the side guards and the vials on it

jolly sierra
#

that fucking mask
