well the problem normally comes from your targer's teammate

orchid plinth
#

I wouldnt say the Orc racial is for uptime in regards to your damage. Rogues die in stuns, its very good in the mirror vs other Sub Rogues.

waxen meteor
#

especially from further position

orchid plinth
#

And Blood Fury is just a little extra bonus

mint mauve
#

yea trying to control 2 players is the next step, but i dont play arena though, kinda at the beginning still

waxen meteor
#

i think orc is more about a bit better burst plus better survival

mint mauve
#

trying to cc one, burst the other, and gtfo

waxen meteor
#

the up time, is almost ignorable

safe pelican
#

Less stuns would be more survival ….

#

But i digress

orchid plinth
#

I would spend my money on the Brutosaur instead of race changing Surebud

waxen meteor
#

if you get off target cc during your go, 4 seconds or 3.6 seconds, they survive

potent pivot
#

I think I’m gonna buy it with gold

safe pelican
#

Ima get the brutosaur this weekend tired of being flexed on

mint mauve
#

yea idc about mobile ah lol

waxen meteor
#

btw, is there some meld macro with stealth/vanish?

potent pivot
#

Just cast meld cast stealth

safe pelican
#

Yea it acts as a “ vanish “

waxen meteor
#

I mean to put the 3 buttons in one

orchid plinth
#

but with /cast !Stealth

potent pivot
#

/cast shadowmeld
/cast !stealth

orchid plinth
#

notice the `!

safe pelican
#

Why would you do that ?

#

When you gain stealth from meld

potent pivot
#

That would be a waste of vanish

lone anvil
#

How are people ninja capping bases on rogues. All the PvP guides say I should be able to solo a flag in a BG.

But last night I blinded a warrior and immediately started trying to cap a flag and he got out of my blind a second before I capped and interrupted me.

And this always happens.

I have never successfully stunned someone and capped while they're stunned

mint mauve
#

i rather have a button I dont cancel my ffing stealth 😆

waxen meteor
#

i currently running a macro, basically in combat press F -> vanish; out of combat press F -> stealth

mint mauve
#

god i hate dots that break stealth

orchid plinth
lone anvil
potent pivot
safe pelican
waxen meteor
#

my ultimate goal is adding a second layer, in combat press F -> if meld not on cd -> meld -> then out of combat -> F again -> stealth

if meld is on cd -> vanish

orchid plinth
#

ah mb the vanish thing

#

no bad forget it

waxen meteor
#

k

mint mauve
#

shame rogues dont have mirror images lol

waxen meteor
#

anyway i will save a keybind from other riacl

mint mauve
#

or that we could steal last used spell from enemy

potent pivot
orchid plinth
#

Macros are only allowed to certain things. If we allowed things like checking if you have a buff or checking if something is on CD everyone would do one button rotations

waxen meteor
#

ok

#

just thinking it loud since we are talking about NE racial

#

if one day i really make up my mind to jump to blue side

safe pelican
#

That would be dope though I’m ngl

#

Good idea

earnest forge
waxen meteor
#

i will just use undead racial keybind for meld :)))

potent pivot
# lone anvil No

The timing is somewhat tight for blind/kidney afaik. Like you have to click the cap almost immediately

waxen meteor
#

but blind/sap cap is easy

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

tbh, stun-clone cap is also easy....

#

and it's no cd...

potent pivot
#

The door has been kicked wide open

waxen meteor
#

feral can be really tricky in blitz

orchid plinth
#

Race change mount for 900$

lone anvil
#

I have ninja'd bases by stealthing in and grabbing it if people are zoned out/ not paying attention or distracted fighting

earnest forge
#

and they add one BUT BETTER AND CHEAPER

waxen meteor
lone anvil
#

But it feels much harder to get a stun-cap on a single defender actually paying attention

waxen meteor
#

stun cap is hard

#

just try sap cap and blind cap

earnest forge
#

@potent pivot btw the flying broom from halloween is a flying mount with no cast time for some reason, not sure if bugged or what.

lone anvil
#

Does sap put targets on DR for blind

waxen meteor
#

???

#

no it doesn't

fading blade
#

goodbye flag

waxen meteor
#

sap blind entire different dr

orchid plinth
#

Sap Stun and Blind are all different DRs

potent pivot
potent pivot
orchid plinth
earnest forge
#

@potent pivot no no, I mean the one from the store that's on sale in halloween, got it in my token shopping spree and for some reason is instacast and notl imited to halloween afaik.

lone anvil
# waxen meteor sap blind entire different dr

I'm just trying to figure out why my blind-cap doesnt work.

Because I sapped the warrior first to try and bait a trinket if he had one up. Then he sat in a full blind and interrupted moments before my cap

waxen meteor
#

for specs without pet nor stealth, if they sits close to node, you can easily cap.

waxen meteor
earnest forge
#

@potent pivot eve's ghastly watheverthehell is the full name

earnest forge
#

yup

waxen meteor
#

btw, sap on war shouldn't really work anyway....

potent pivot
#

Wtf

orchid plinth
#

I would guess the Store broom is instant cast during Halloween to match the event one...?

lone anvil
orchid plinth
#

Hopefully

earnest forge
#

i'm 100% certain no cast time yesterday

waxen meteor
potent pivot
#

Yeah it’s gotta be only during hween

waxen meteor
#

i do that all the time

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

sap cap -> trinket -> blind cap -> and i even have time to do a global after it's capped

#

for no pet specs, if they sit close to node, they basically loses the node already

earnest forge
waxen meteor
#

some classes like mage/pal can block/bubble after sap/blind...

#

but they gonna play without trinket or defensive against us, just throw all CDs on first go, they dead

fading blade
potent pivot
fading blade
#

eh ig we'll see whenever i get to log in

lone anvil
#

And then I feel like I can only hold them off so long

waxen meteor
#

it doesn't matter

#

if you can cap, your goal is not to kill the target

#

of course, if he can be easily killed, kill him

#

if not, your goal is not just stop them cap it back

#

you don't necessarily have to kill them

lone anvil
waxen meteor
#

why?

spring bough
#

Did fatebound outlaw for a twin peaks last night and flag carried. Got back from the enemy base before they even picked up our flag 😂

earnest forge
# gusty hedge

it has the cast time in the tooltip ingame too, that's what's weird 😄

waxen meteor
#

why do you have to kill him

lone anvil
# waxen meteor why?

Noooooo. You didn't hear me. If I turn the flag neutral and 4-5 return before it turns to my color and just change it back

waxen meteor
#

how can you turn flag neutral??

lone anvil
orchid plinth
#

You mean, it's 30 seconds away from being yours?

waxen meteor
#

if 4-5 people coming, your goal is still just to interupt them

lone anvil
waxen meteor
#

and make sure it doesn't trun other color

lone anvil
#

I forget how rated works but that's how it is in normal bgs

waxen meteor
#

keep enemy nodes in neutral is also huge win

lone anvil
#

I do both rated and normal

lone anvil
orchid plinth
#

That's good

lone anvil
#

And at that point it's hard to survive 1v4

orchid plinth
#

You wasted 5 peoples time

waxen meteor
#

that's good enough, what's wrong

lone anvil
#

Gotcha

lime oar
#

my arms warr is about to fucking rise @cobalt pewter

waxen meteor
#

you are buying a lot of time

#

their resource doesn't gain

lone anvil
#

So sometimes I'm not going to be able to flip it my color

waxen meteor
#

ours gain

lone anvil
#

Even if I do everything right

waxen meteor
#

and they have no people other places

lone anvil
#

But I'm still wasting their time

waxen meteor
#

Battle for Gilneas, there are only 3 nodes

#

each side gets 1

#

and a middle fight

#

if you go to their node, and make it stop gaining resource for 20 seconds

#

you win

#

given other conditions not changed of course

#

and also if 5 people on other sides have to back up, it means your team should win mid

#

with 4 more people

#

if they can't, they are noob

#

also as rogue, we have quite a bit immunity to stop them capping back

earnest forge
#

I never did rated bgs but is that all rogue is worth for?

waxen meteor
#

very likely we gonna be able to turn the node color with CDs if we can cap it

earnest forge
#

be a nuisance in caps

waxen meteor
#

we are one of best class in blitz

potent pivot
waxen meteor
#

Sin can do all, group fight, nodes fight and flag killer

earnest forge
#

not only for my parents, but ingame, gotcha

potent pivot
#

Waste peoples time and steal bases etc

waxen meteor
#

Sub is less group fight, but probably better at node 1on1 and flag killer

spring bough
#

Does blizz pay workman’s comp for carpel tunnel from playing outlaw too much?

potent pivot
#

assuming they touch outlaw with a ten foot pole

waxen meteor
#

just be a in law

#

not outlaw

spring bough
#

I don’t get it lol. I was saying my hands got carpel tunnel from slamming keys too fast lol

earnest forge
#

unless the damage is 1:1 for your health as much as to your enemies ingame, not worth

potent pivot
lone anvil
#

I only feel effective in group fights with good heals. Don't get me wrong. If I have to kill a flag carrier and I'm solo I can go into a group of 3-4 enemies and kill a flag carrier before I die sometimes. But I don't have tons of durability

#

I feel like a kamikaze in environments where I am AoE cleaving

#

And sometimes the Gods are nice to me and I have a good healer and sometimes I get wrecked

waxen meteor
#

In map with node better to go node

lone anvil
#

Yeah for sure

waxen meteor
#

That’s where we provide max impact

lone anvil
#

But like the one where you old the four orbs is an example

#

If your team isn't holding mid and you gotta try and get in and kill an orb carrier

#

Or some shit

waxen meteor
#

orb game is iq test game

#

you can do nothing as rogue if your teammates are all bozos

reef hearth
#

If I wanna pick up Ks , what should I drop? :d

potent pivot
reef hearth
#

Tbh I don’t even check a build so I used one in solos that felt right to me , gonna check one actually if most of em take is

#

Kai

Lovely 🙂 I did 1.7 with a build that felt right but now it kinda needs smth more , gonna try it out ! Thanks @potent pivot

potent pivot

lone anvil

aint gonna happen,they gonna train my body,im carrying either way

potent pivot
#

talking about needing a dk or warr to boost him in here, he's just making a funny statement really

lone anvil

Gotcha

In that case....I need a strong DPS. Warrior/DK/hunter to carry my resto druid in 2s 👀

"People who attempt to defend Rogues' disgustingly-overloaded kit always make me laugh.

Imagine if chess introduced a new rule: "Anyone whose name is Jason can move two pieces per turn." Would the same types of lunatics attempt to defend it by saying things like "Well, actually it's okay that Jasons can move two peices per turn! Moving two pieces per turn means you have more options and therefore more thinking is involved!"

Because that's what it's like playing a Rogue in World of Warcraft."

#

Wait I always thought that was mages...

molten hedge
#

I guess it’s comp dependent, but what do you do when all your bleeds are getting totemed/bopped/racialed/cauterized off and you have no pressure and are getting ccd and slowed by like a mage? Just looking for some general tips. Think I had some rounds that felt like I had no pressure last night.

mint mauve
#

Can you switch gear during vanish with a macro?

potent pivot
#

o.O why would you want to

mint mauve
#

Just scrolling through random items and saw an item that reduces the cooldown of sprint by 10 seconds

#

It's a poor item, but, if you can get the killing blow, you can technically juggle free cooldowns

#

not sure how practical though

potent pivot
#

sounds insanely not worth worrying about

#

idr if you can even swap gear during rated content

mint mauve
#

ikr seems ludicrous, but, situational stuff is kinda fun

gleaming pawn
#

Don’t think you can swap gear outside of weapons in rated. Would also just very much not be worth

#

But to answer your original question, you could in theory but you’d have to make sure you dropped combat before the call to swap the gear set came through

mint mauve
#

yep, have to try it later

#

seems to be a coinflip

gleaming pawn
#

Can’t use items in rated

#

And some items are black listed in normal BGs as well and could only be used in world pvp

mint mauve
#

figures o well

orchid plinth
#

Classic is your game if you are into these kind of things 2ez

mint mauve

yea, but then i have to play classic

i was thinking of doing Queen on LFR for the 15

oo yes ill do that before bed

#

good call

#

is weird though the quests at the COT arent updated

Get em while you can that's for sure.

is there an easy way to get

all the globs of wax

potent pivot
grave basin

this shit

potent pivot
#

oh idk

grave basin
#

make sure you do it though

#

still kinda free

potent pivot
#

is that from the weekly you get to choose from 4 activites

#

?

#

like WQs, a heroic dungeon etc

#

or is that one of the ones in ringing deeps

broken otter
potent pivot
#

who knows

#

i think the Obsidian Worldbreaker that's on one of the vendors came from an old anniversary event

#

either 5 or 10 years ago idr which

grave basin
#

no it;s at ringing deeps

#

next to the npc that has the awakening the machine weekly as well

#

which also gives 8 tokens

potent pivot
#

gonna snag that one for 20 tokens and the Azure version for 5k badges

This is the most fun build I've ever played

BUT ITS SO BAD

i see gsw

you do

@potent pivot i figured someone would have tried it by now.

potent pivot

if we're rolling on CD is sleight a decent pick now?

we'll see how it shakes out after a couple days

welllllllllllllllll

#

time to give it a wirly hirly

digital rock
#

For pvp should i be playing trickster outlaw

#

seems like most of yall are

#

Why is this

potent pivot
#

some people play off brand shit

#

because they aren't meta slaves

digital rock
#

What’s the point of trickster

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

the gameplay implications as well

#

it changes things up a bit

digital rock
#

I’m playing KS as fate coins

#

It’s bad this way?

stoic spruce
#

not at all

#

KS is just better with trickster

digital rock
#

I see

stoic spruce
#

gives KS modifiers

#

I will let yall know how bad this feels soon

potent pivot
#

yeah that's an OOF

stoic spruce
#

my hand cramped as I clicked kir

#

its a sign

#

God himself said "dude, come on now..."

tribal badger
#

kir trickster builds r also just awful

stoic spruce
#

real

tribal badger
#

like in pve they are a ~12-15% pure ST loss

#

and ST damage matters alot in pvp

potent pivot
#

sometimes the absolute worst pve build can be dope in pvp

#

but no crackshot is just an automatic no go unfort

stoic spruce
#

unholy has been that way for years

#

yeah this last patch did away with that completely

potent pivot
#

yeah rogue has also always been that way

#

because in pvp especially as sub you care a bit less for overall energy regen

#

and just burst windows etc

tribal badger
#

i mean its usually that way for outlaw too, kir has been the top simming raw dps for along time now but people still stick with HO in pvp

#

that being said, usually when a build is so bad its leaving 15% pve dps on the table, it will struggle in pvp

#

honestly law is enough of a setup spec u can probably make it work with almost any build (similar to sub that way)

#

giving up large amounts of dps probably more impactful for sin

#

or generally specs that win with just overwhelming pressure

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

already did

#

as much as it irks me, I gotta have it

spring bough
#

Was doing KIR trickster. It’s fun but harder to play

#

HO flows so much faster

#

But KIRs dispatch damage looks nuts and so does BTEs using it

#

What’s the average KS you get?

stoic spruce
#

Idak

#

but it def moves health bars

spring bough
#

Should try this. Having a lot of fun with this build

stoic spruce
#

more of the same

#

man this is boring

spring bough
#

I might drop loaded dice for something else but idk what

stoic spruce
#

every build you play is the same thing

#

people say its different but its really not

spring bough
#

Riptose, triple threat, or loaded dice what would you go with

#

Don’t get much out of loaded dice rolling every time bones is up lol

solar glacier
#

phew, 2 hours time before bedtime to get 80 rating in bgblitz before flag nerf tomorrow

#

ill just wait until we get buffed again xD

stoic spruce
#

50%

spring bough
#

Ohhh talking bout the spell thought u were talking about games lol

solar glacier
#

i know u're joking everybody knows flag is getting fcked

stoic spruce
#

I didnt know until 20 mins ago

spring bough
#

I’m over here thinking they somehow nerfed the four grapple hooks with flag carrying lol

stoic spruce
#

I dont play sub though

#

im better than that

spring bough
#

I crossed twin peaks with the flag in less than 20 seconds last night. Was wicked

#

Enemy team didn’t even pickup our flag by the time I got back 😂

solar glacier
#

u playing OL right? 😄

#

new best fc in the game i suppose kekw

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

another bug for outlaw

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

breaking stealth with bte sometimes puts it on CD

tribal badger
#

ur not experiencing the stealth bug are u

spring bough
#

I’m still in the habit of using ambush as my first global from stealth

tribal badger
#

if u restealth during subterfuge u cant break stealth with BtE, crackshot has been disabled

#

u need to break it with a builder

spring bough
#

From when I played night elf and meld would put BTE on Cd

stoic spruce
#

nope, its my first global of the fight

spring bough
#

Just hit ambush it won’t hurt much lol

tribal badger
#

thats an odd one, ur sure ur stealth didnt get broken by something else?

stoic spruce
#

positive

tribal badger
#

theres a few other misc bugs that can cause it to break

#

one of them was that subterfuge does not apply the moment stealth breaks

#

theres like a 100 ms delay

#

so if u break stealth with ghostly or an auto and then bte in that window u might put it on cd

spring bough
#

Popo too fast with it lol

tribal badger
#

its very tough to do tho

spring bough
#

Popo. Do you have ghostly macrod to BTE?

stoic spruce
#

im not doing anything different

#

no I dont macro it in pvp

#

or pve really

#

but im not doing anything different than what I always do

#

adr rtb bte

tribal badger
#

and u didnt break ur stealth with ADR

#

wouldnt surprise me if that bug came back with todays patch

stoic spruce
#

nope. not even fatebound

#

so I dodged that chance all together

lime oar

Think I can mongo my way to 1950 in SS like I did early DF on arms warr?

yes no maybe idk

potent pivot
jolly bear

how is supercharger feeling?

potent pivot

it was doing okay

#

now that flag is nerfed in pvp we don't know

potent pivot

supercharger is mandatory

flag is pretty much still mandatory

jolly bear
spring bough
jolly bear
#

no, I hate crackshot

spring bough
#

Then no pump for you 😭

jolly bear

i dont wanna pump i wanna one shot this aint m+

spring bough
#

Vanish resetting BTE one of the best QOL updates ever

#

You can one shot as outlaw with smoke bomb, stun, and a go ready

jolly bear
#

also, fatebound and trickster are lame af hero trees

spring bough
#

Hell you can load up 6 charges of supercharger combo points for a go if you’re down bad and just CRANK

jolly bear
#

i only play deathstalker on sub and sin

spring bough
#

trickster >>>

#

KS and unseen blades doing damage

jolly bear
#

ngl i do miss killing spree

#

idk why they only made it outlaw

spring bough
#

When it’s averaging 2.5mil for me every lobby / blitz. It’s fucking amazing

#

Even some of them getting CCd

jolly bear
#

I might hit up blitz

spring bough
#

Still averages that overall

tribal badger
#

2.5m i was going to say i hope thats per cast

spring bough
#

I’ve def had a 3 milly plus KS lol

tribal badger
#

thats like 1/3rd of hp pools

#

or 3 btes

#

and 3 btes would likely have taken less time to cast

spring bough

I’ve got a 1.8 million BTE on a clothie in game during a crackshot window

absurd tho

I’ve def got close to a mil on plate

i think they just like nerfing sub tbh

spring bough

WTB armor reduction poison like SOD has lol

#

Make these plate fear us more than clothies fear us

jolly bear
#

isnt outlaw the worst one to go against plate

spring bough
#

I don’t really notice it. Warriors health bars get cranked down in a go pretty swiftly

Same with DKs

Yeee

gilded gulch
#

Question, is rm just complete poop rn.

stoic spruce
#

nope

gilded gulch
#

did 2s for the first time in forever and fucked up let them have a clean open

#

didnt even feel in danger to trinket

stoic spruce
#

yeah dont do that

gilded gulch
#

probs just a low rated rm sucks

#

angle

jolly bear
#

im kinda sad goremaw's was brought back and no one uses it

spring bough
#

Man how do yall get that back and I’m still here waiting for cannonball barrage

tribal badger
#

subs fantasy never changed but blizzard has taken direct steps to make outlaw less piraty

#

because they dont want its dedicated flavor to be pirate

stoic spruce
#

which is wild honestly

spring bough
#

They just need to rename outlaw to combat again

stoic spruce
tribal badger
#

nearly all pirate named abilities have been removed with the loss of DB tbh

spring bough
tribal badger
#

ok but why combat is a much dumber name then outlaw

#

at least outlaw is generic rogue flavored

#

combat is just

#

what you do with npcs?

#

every class in the game?

#

combat was always a silly name

#

its not like outlaw requires a pirate theme

#

or even implies it

spring bough
#

We should have something outlawy then

stoic spruce
#

we do

tribal badger
#

true make it so we cant go into cities or guards will be hostile towards us

#

👏

vocal surge
#

To be fair

#

Outlaw is pirate theme'd

spring bough
tribal badger
#

only pirate theme left in the spec is RtB really

vocal surge
#

but Outlaw isn't a pirate theme'd word

tribal badger
#

and thats too core for them to remove

#

i mean theyve taken specific steps to reduce the pirate theme to minimum

potent pivot
#

feral caught some undocumented nerfs

vocal surge
#

It'd still make since if Outlaw was renamed Combat

tribal badger
#

outlaw is supposed to be a blanket spec for all the outlaws/bandits/highwaymen/privateers (pirates) etc

stoic spruce
spring bough
potent pivot
vocal surge
#

since we're combat focused just like sin is assassination (poisons and bleeds) or subtlety is stealth focused

potent pivot
#

BM nerfs too i think

tribal badger
#

how are we combat focused

#

what is combat to u

#

combat to me is everything every spec engages in when they attack a mob

#

idk how u could even be combat focused

potent pivot
#

ahh some of these changes ARE already covered

#

some aren't

stoic spruce
#

fire mage is just a qualified to be named combat

tribal badger
#

is a sub shadowdancing on someone not engaging in combat

spring bough
tribal badger
#

is a sin stabbing someone to bleed them not them engaging in combat

stoic spruce
#

Fury is Combat guys

vocal surge
#

Combat is disarming lads, finding ways to side step lads and just smack em hard, disembowling lads with eviscerate, and cause them to bleed (rupture falls under the Combat tree in my book)

jolly bear
tribal badger
#

ok

#

so all of rogue

stoic spruce
#

so fury

tribal badger
#

and quite a bit of monk

#

i mean every class in the game could be considered combat themed

#

its wht combat has always been a dumb name and will always be

#

people tied outlaw to pirate because legion did make it a pirate, but they called it outlaw

#

outlaw as a name has never been pirate themed

#

its fine

#

even with them wanting to go away from the pirate theme its fine

vocal surge
#

Yeee

stoic spruce
#

nah pirates are cooler

vocal surge
#

I'd be interested to see what they do for Outlaw if they decide to completely do away with the pirate theme

stoic spruce
#

and the archetype should be played into

vocal surge
#

nah

tribal badger
#

nah u still have some stuff

vocal surge
#

they're still leaning into it

tribal badger
#

like objectivelly the pistol gameplay and RtB

#

are still pirate themed

vocal surge
#

not as much as in legion

tribal badger
#

altho i guess highwaymen used pistols also

#

so its really RtB which is the truest pirate themeing of the design

stoic spruce
#

its annoying how grey the identity is compared to literally every other spec

#

in the game

tribal badger
#

ya thats fair

#

u do lose something wehen it comes to cool flashy ability potential when u water down identity too much

spring bough
#

Cause we are a leather wearing warrior that can stealth

vocal surge
#

What about Gilnean theme?

stoic spruce
#

Aristocrap

#

Name has meme potential as we can see

vocal surge
#

Gilneans use pistols and swords

spring bough
#

So do Kul Tirans

vocal surge
#

Aye

spring bough
#

Forever a kul tiran Stan now. Even tho nelf with meld is probably wrecking even more as outlaw lol

tribal badger
#

i mean idk where they really plan to take outlaw

#

if the hero talents r anything to judge by

#

they are also a bit lost

vocal surge
#

#RemoveRacialsFromPvP

spring bough
#

That extra stealth is probably so hot right now

tribal badger
#

fatebound is obstensivly the "outlaw themed" hero tree and its....

#

i mean who are fatebounds in the lore/game

stoic spruce
tribal badger
#

the only fate related npcs i know are the fatescribes and such from shadowlands

#

trickster is the sub themed one

stoic spruce
#

high fantasy archetypes on a low fantasy class

potent pivot
spring bough
#

But sub used to use swords too so it applies maybe idk 😂

vocal surge
#

I haven't seen anyone who fits under the Fatebound theme

tribal badger
#

like i can think of rogues who would be tricksters

#

i can think of rogues who would be deathstalkers

#

can u think of a rogue that would be fatebound?

#

like famous npc

#

famous hero

#

famous anything

stoic spruce
#

thats the point though. Blizz said they had to come up with archetypes not already established in lore

tribal badger
#

yea i mean i think part of that is that outlaws theme is so wishy washy

#

it is what it is at the end of the day

#

we r stuck with these probably forever

#

hopefully we get more hero trees in the future to pick between

potent pivot
#

i pray they go away next expansion

#

i mean there's no shot we keep them right

stoic spruce
#

doomed to poop out coins forever

tribal badger
#

wdym go away

vocal surge
#

I thought we were suppose to keep hero talents for the world saga series?

fervent cobalt
#

arg imma pirate

tribal badger
#

they are evergreen

#

they confirmed that like 5 times now

half kernel
#

So is the flag nerf to 50% on the dmge or the mastery stacks?

tribal badger
#

they said it was evergreen when they first started leaking them

spring bough
tribal badger
#

they are 100% here to stay

spring bough
#

Either that or a whole new talent rework yet again

fervent cobalt
#

100% they stay

tribal badger
#

unless they scrap the entire talent system at some point ye

spring bough
#

Back to the one talent every ten levels? 😂

stoic spruce
potent pivot
#

nah no way

#

i refuse to believe that

stoic spruce
#

sorry broseph

potent pivot
#

there's legit zero chance

spring bough
#

Do they add to hero trees or to the rogue / spec tree for next xpack?

potent pivot
#

what would they add next expansion?

#

to the 100 talents we already have?

spring bough
#

Probably just new regular talents

potent pivot
#

they couldn't add any more

tribal badger
orchid plinth
#

more things to break CC WICKEDsteer

spring bough
#

Or they bring back borrowed power

#

Or just rework all the trees so it feels “new”

potent pivot
#

remove them or riot

spring bough

New hero talents every xpack lol

orchid plinth

Rework every rogue here tree KEKW

fervent cobalt

no can do bucko

fervent cobalt
#

I liked outlaw when it was combat with micro stuns on maces

#

Shit was amazing

tribal badger
#

its our job to encapsulate every form of rogue that isnt assassination or sub

#

and thats alot of them

#

we get the leftovers

fervent cobalt
#

Now outlaw is a pirate that throws fucking dice.

stoic spruce
#

thats such an L maneuver too

fervent cobalt
#

Lame as hell

stoic spruce
spring bough
tribal badger
#

now outlaw is an outlaw that throws dice

#

all the pirate stuff is gone

stoic spruce
#

yeah

#

get with the program

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

if outlaw were still a pirate, we wouldnt be having this convo and we'd go "oh yeah that makes sense" on move on with our day.

tribal badger
#

yes u can still do that if u like

fervent cobalt
#

Bro outlaw shoots a fucking old style pistol and plays dice uses his hook to board the ships of lame.

tribal badger
#

i mean there r plenty of pistol wielding factions in this game that arent pirates

#

RtB is really the only "pirate" fantasy left

spring bough
#

Grapple hook kinda like a ship anchor. Pirate theme

stoic spruce
#

survival shoots with a pistol now

spring bough
tribal badger
#

grapple hook like the belf faction leader

stoic spruce
tribal badger
#

he has a grapple hook

fervent cobalt
#

Not hating or anything just saying. I'm in fact making another rogue just for outlaw cuz sub is gutted.

tribal badger
#

he must be a pirate!

waxen meteor
#

PepeFull imo pistol shouldn't be in same game as dagger

#

2077 vs 1840

fervent cobalt
#

Lol

#

Bang bang

spring bough
fervent cobalt
#

Lol

stoic spruce
#

funny how there are rifles with laser sights and flintlock pistols coexisting

waxen meteor
fervent cobalt
#

Lmfao

tribal badger
#

well they do sorta have a consitent theme going on with the pistols at least

#

that being they are never a main weapon, just a side weapon

#

pistols from this fantasy setting would generally be unweildy to use mid fight, especially in melee range

spring bough
tribal badger
#

which is why the proc for you to cast a buffed pistol shot as outlaw is named "opportunity"

fervent cobalt
#

Class fantasy is so important To me. It's why I never play outlaw in the first place

waxen meteor
#

Mike Tyson with dagger will not challenge you with pistol

tribal badger
#

i dont think a medieval style pistol would be 10000 more powerful then a sword

#

idk are u just considering a glock

#

when u think of these things

#

lol

#

modern pistols sure

waxen meteor
#

monkascheme i think there's no medieval pistol though

vocal surge
#

Nah

stoic spruce
vocal surge
#

If we're going by power scale

#

A gatling gun is the msot op range weapon for us

fervent cobalt
#

Yea cuz you have to load it like 1700 calvary

tribal badger
#

original pirate pistols that fired one time per reload and had an average accuracy of like 8 feet?

#

lol

#

i think theres plenty of historical context for "strong but cumbersome" pistol sidearms

#

mostly pirate themed mind you

waxen meteor
#

Surebud that's true probably

fervent cobalt
#

Arg take this shot to the chest matey

waxen meteor
#

but what about the riffles from hunter

tribal badger
#

which is why the idea of outlaw at its core is

#

you stab until you "find" the oppurtunity to get off a pistol shot

fervent cobalt
#

Just like a pirate

tribal badger
#

and the pistol shot does indeed hit quite a bit harder then our stabs

fervent cobalt
#

With his cutlass

#

Arg

stoic spruce
#

no

spring bough
fervent cobalt
#

Arg take this you scallywag

stoic spruce

it really should just stay pirate because I personally find this so cumbersome

spring bough

How about this subs. You give us find weakness and flag gets unnerfed. Sounds great to me

fervent cobalt

Every outlaw should come with free eye patch and wooden peg
