this was before i was playing with that six bullet up my sleeve venthyr

outer sky
#

And also back then hunter misdirect didnt redirect threat from the hunters pet and only BM was considered viable so their misdirect was basically useless. Rogue tricks was wanted for aggro and for cheesing mob mechanics

sharp sierra
#

id be okay dropping loaded dice for that audcity ig but idk about losing prep or blade rush when 2 set with give it more damage

#

for the HO talent just doesnt seem worth but idk maybe its hitting hard

vocal surge
#

for testing fun stuff

sharp sierra
#

lmaooo id be down tomorrow

#

geared sub first in case theres zero outlaw buffs and sub magically makes it through so finishing uop honor farm tomorrow

gusty hedge
outer sky
#

Holy shit I got curious so I went back and looked and it was even worse than I thought

#

For keys level 20+ in BFA S2 and S3 Outlaw was the single most popular spec in the game, including all roles. Melee, ranged, healer, tank

potent pivot
#

that was a tuning thing was it not'

#

ppl ran triple outlaw in a bfa season

#

wasn't becasue of "utility"

outer sky
#

It was still utility in s2

#

They just also had high damage

#

So you could run 3 and be fine

#

That stupid maggot in underrot

#

Only outlaw could keep it from casting on its own so you'd have to babysit it the whole time

#

You'd learn the fancy shroud where you have to sap dudes in stealth during the shroud

#

In temple of seth

#

Vanish mechanics like in Kings Rest to dispel the fear adds and not pull every mob

#

Locking down the one shotting goblins in Motherlode

#

The biggest things were shroud and being able to solo lock down a mob.

sharp sierra

outer sky
#

I was doing 27s

#

Which was really high

#

Probably r1 range if they had it back then

#

20s were like

#

Weekly keys on a bad week

#

For us

#

I was cracked in M+ in bfa

gusty hedge
outer sky
#

Playing the class with the highest utility was kinda nice and kinda shit at the same time because on 1 hand I could always find groups but on the other hand I had to handle all the sweat mechanics. And also since only outlaw could solo lock down mobs I HAD to play outlaw even though I didn't like it

#

And if you fucked up a utility mechanic you just felt like shit

#

Screwed up the shroud, failed whatever 200 IQ strat the tank was trying to do with tricks

#

Got caught on global and let a mob cast

#

Wiped everyone

#

Like basically if the key failed it was always your fault

#

Everyone else just did damage

#

In fact outlaws utility was so busted in bfa that it would finish the key at 2/3rds the dps of the fire mage and BM hunter and was STILL brought to every group

#

But thats not exactly "fun"

sharp sierra
#

Idk man I’ve always been a raging alt swapper with rogue always being home and prepatch was the first time I ever tried outlaw and it’s the first spec i genuinely fell in love with rotation wise. I have no idea why I feel like I can track the million buffs and could care less what I’m proccing with sub lol

I really hope they do something with it. Even if it’s just a flat out damage buff across the board

#

In prepatch I landed a grappling hook across the map to chase a kill and did a BTE mid grapple and that got me hooked lmao

pastel burrow
#

They need to buff the HO/ambush talents

#

I miss the multi hit ambushes that shit was slick

gusty hedge
#

unpopular opinion, they need to bring uhuh and crackshot back garf_sit venthyr

outer sky
gusty hedge
outer sky
#

Which is fine in general but when you only have a brief window it feels bad

gusty hedge
#

vanish came back so often never felt like it was a choice tbh the ace refunds were hitting, s3 was the best time with tier set, had some real burst with coins. also being nelf just made it so much easier for goes/ mini burst cc lockdowns.

stoic spruce
#

S3 was easily the worst version of crackshot outlaw

stoic spruce
potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Sub does both

#

Has done both

#

And will forever do both

potent pivot
stoic spruce
#

Yeah I do

#

Because I don't play sub

outer sky
# potent pivot damn you must hate sub then

In some weird way having only 2 cheap shots makes it feel less bad. Especially with high dance up time. I do my 2 stuns thats it. You dont need to try and triple stun the whole team

#

What was the CD of vanish usually with restless blades?

#

Like 1m?

#

And crankshot was 6s?

stoic spruce
#

About 15

outer sky
#

15s crackshot?

stoic spruce
#

Pre crack it was like 40

#

Assuming correct play and decent rng

outer sky
#

40s vanish?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

outer sky
#

And crackshot window was 6s every vanish?

stoic spruce
#

8

#

Duration got buffed in tww

outer sky
#

Ok I only played it in DF

stoic spruce
#

You didn't miss out

outer sky
#

But say 8s every 40s to do damage.

#

And during it you have to choose between damage and CC

#

Vs 2 shadow dances on a 20s CD each

#

Its just not comparable

stoic spruce
#

You lost some sure but you could still keep up

#

While CCing

outer sky
#

Idk how the sims looked. But im sure for most people playing it, that definitely felt bad from a player experience perspective

stoic spruce
#

Not S3 though, DMG was just so bad it didn't matter. Which, btw, it's never been that bad.

#

You did dmg during KS but that was it

outer sky
#

But maybe not idk because honestly you, vancleef, verm, and servo are probably like half of all the outlaw players still maining it

#

Maybe Mewo

stoic spruce
#

They'd say the same thing

outer sky
#

Im sure

stoic spruce
#

But the first two seasons it could maintain CC and dmg

#

S3 just had no dmg to sustain OMEGAKEKW

#

Imma go out on a limb and say it'll never be that bad again. Last season was purely an anomaly

#

Just skewing data fr

outer sky
#

It still doesnt seem like it has any damage. Idk maybe the very few outlaw rogues ive queued into this pre-season were just trash but I couldnt believe how not scary they were

stoic spruce
#

It was quite literally the worst it's ever been

#

Idk, I'm walking people down fine

#

Not fmage though

#

Not yet ...

outer sky
#

Its skirms so they could easily just be bad but man they did nothing

stoic spruce
#

A good outlaw is few and far between yeah

#

I haven't ran into a good DK in a very long time

#

Assa*

#

Idk why it said dk

#

DK too

outer sky
#

Whats funny is

#

Theres so many sub rogues rn

#

And I can tell

#

So easily

#

Who's a fotm reroller

#

And who's played the class for a while

wheat shore
#

What’s the method for farming honor on horde nowadays? Been constantly losing random bgs since War Within release, gets so old. Tempted to swap alliance

potent pivot
#

they made comp stomp a permanent game mode and renamed it

wheat shore
potent pivot
#

its the fastest way to farm honor

#

~400 per game, ~1min queues, games don't take long

#

will only speed up as the season goes on and we get more gear

wheat shore
#

Really appreciate the info ā¤ļø

tardy jackal
#

hi guys, I wanted to ask if anyone had good resources or advice on how to make outlaw work well in arenas? been having a hard time finding content or guides about how to be successful with it. it's one of my favorite specs in the game

tardy jackal
#

I'd like to know what I should be prioritizing to get better damage output on single targets

#

I've been working on getting my full pvp set so I can actually be viable and not fall over but I'm noticing my damage is quite poor compared to the other players

#

so I've been able to survive now in a 3s skirm multiple minutes, but my damage is suffering a lot and i know we could be closing out faster if i knew better what to do

stoic spruce
#

Outlaw is a slow burn spec. Youre playing for mana

tardy jackal
#

and are other outlaw players preferring fatebound or trickster?

#

I see, I can envision that

stoic spruce
#

Idrk how to help without a vod but what build are you running

tardy jackal
#

you just play mostly for survival, good cc's and big goes when the moment is right?

stoic spruce
#

Just survival and CCs

#

You do decent dmg with menacing rush though

tardy jackal
#

i was trying something like this out

stoic spruce
#

Wouldn't call it a burst

#

There are some changes you can make that'll make a noticable difference

tardy jackal
#

i've only been able to dabble with fatebound mostly and that feels good but it was not working for me in a pvp environment

#

and i heard trickster was helpful for being sturdier

#

but idk if it plays super different

stoic spruce
#

Apparently people play KS but I've yet to find any use of it

#

Feels like I'm just wasting GCDs

#

Move 1 ace to Find an Opening

stoic spruce
tardy jackal
#

im also not used to using killing spree and it feels kinda bad? and easy for people to interrupt you

stoic spruce
#

It is bad

tardy jackal
#

yeah i really enjoy arenas the most

stoic spruce
#

Move Fast Action to prep

#

And then I'd move KS to heavy hitter 2

#

@tardy jackal

tardy jackal
#

ya my tree broke and i had to figure out what to do, i did just that haha

#

find an opening does sound like a solid choice

#

would you say everything else looks ok?

stoic spruce
#

You don't have loaded dice

#

I'm trying to remember where you'd get the point for it

#

Send me your updated tree

tardy jackal
#

i switched to FB also but lmk if any of these should be changed

#

i think its just my FB pve talents i use

stoic spruce
#

Oh yeah deft

tardy jackal
#

theres so many good talents on the outlaw tree it feels so hard to choose

#

😭

stoic spruce
#

It's such an energy sink in arenas

#

Big in BGs tho

tardy jackal
#

gotcha

#

that into loaded?

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

#

We'll probably move it to sleight once we figure out what it's actually doing

tardy jackal
#

would you mind telling me what a typical opener is for an arena setting?

#

cause ive heard a variety of things

#

but they dont feel good lol

stoic spruce
#

You don't really have an opener, you just kinda go in

#

After you sap ofc

#

So adr, RtB, sap, dispatch, bte

#

And then your regular build and spend rules until game over

tardy jackal
#

ok so dont even bother with cheapshots or kidneys at start?

#

just go in and maybe pop a feint in case they try to stop you hard

stoic spruce
#

Sap + cheaps+kidney lol

#

I should've been specific that's my b

#

"cheaps" you only get 1 cheap

tardy jackal
#

right

#

sap heal, cheap off target, open main

#

its better to dispatch first for SND or kidney to keep them still?

stoic spruce
stoic spruce
#

Dispatching first is asking for trouble

tardy jackal
#

thought so

stoic spruce
#

You're just giving them time to react since you have to build as well

tardy jackal
#

someone was saying ADR > SND > RTB > sap > open is what i should do before, is that bad?

stoic spruce
#

Naw, that's essentially the same thing

#

You'll just have to build before kidney

#

Sinister Strike specifically

tardy jackal
#

do you pop prep right after ADR wears off and you put blade rush and bte on cd?

stoic spruce
#

I think that's still up in the air

#

Some people do it differently

#

I like to do it for at least adr and br unless bte is about to come off CD in the next global

tardy jackal
#

is prep effected by our CDR of combo points spent?

stoic spruce
#

No

tardy jackal
#

aw, that'd be sick lol

stoic spruce
#

Itd be interesting for sure

#

You have your builder/spender rules down?

#

FB you dispatch at 5+

#

Bte 6+ obv

tardy jackal
#

yeah I played FB while I leveled and when i've been doing pve content so it feels really good to use

#

i hadnt gotten to spend much time on learning how trickster's nuances worked

stoic spruce
#

There aren't any, it got moved to FB with spending dispatch at 5cp

#

All trickster does is add KS to your rotation

tardy jackal
#

were people using full combo points on KS? or was it primarily a short combo point spent just to initiate the debuffs applied to the opponent for extra dmg

stoic spruce
#

5+ I'm pretty sure

#

5cp is enough to fully refill you cps

tardy jackal
#

im guessing you really only use it once you know they blew their cc's or they couldn't trinket a kidney or something to defend themselves

outer sky
#

What hero tree is outlaw even playing?

stoic spruce
#

Well I've yet to have trickster do more than FB

outer sky
#

How's coin damage?

#

Its kinda meh on assa

stoic spruce
#

Decent

#

Yeah same

outer sky
#

Bro lol

#

Not to be dramatic but

#

Talking about assa and outlaw right now feels like talking about your pet right after it died

#

Oh god I hope they fix this

stoic spruce
#

That was amazing to read

outer sky
#

Sometimes I wonder what it would actually take to get me to reroll

#

Probably if they ever get rid of smoke bomb that would be the nail in the coffin for me

stoic spruce
#

They'd have to get rid of RtB for me

#

Or pistol shot

outer sky
#

Shit theyre working on it

#

I remember when rtb was a combo point spender with no CD

stoic spruce
#

Yeah it was awesome

outer sky
#

But a lot of people hated it

#

Because "im always rerolling buffs and never doing damage"

hollow carbon
outer sky
graceful plume
#

With kidney 30s cd and no vanish cd reduction outlaw is pretty much dead. Reroll sub like everyone else.

outer sky
#

Yeah outlaw got gutted real good

hollow carbon
#

Personally I like that they got rid of crackshot, but they should tune it similar to SL s4 outlaw, without the crazy CDR ofc but that it has more brawler gameplay without being just a worse fotm melee

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Unless you're saying to flat out buff outlaw

#

In which I agree

hollow carbon
stoic spruce
#

However I will always say buff outlaw even if it is egregiously OP

hollow carbon
stoic spruce
#

It's very middle of the pack rn but at the lower in pve so I'd def expect buffs

graceful plume
outer sky
stoic spruce
#

I think with every spec being reworked we're due for a pvp talent overhaul

hollow carbon
stoic spruce
#

Eventually

outer sky
hollow carbon
#

Yeah that’s true. I would like to see assa being good against casters and outlaw being good into melee cleaves

outer sky
# hollow carbon Yeah that’s true. I would like to see assa being good against casters and outlaw...

Idk i think this whole "assa has a silence therefore its anti caster" thing is overstated. Like, if assa plays into a caster cleave, the silence is nice but it doesnt make it "good into casters" because a good caster cleave can 40 yard triangle the assa rogue which is going to make it hard to multi dot which will make energy regen a lot slower. Also depending on how bleed damage is tuned, sometimes your pressure comes from spread pressure. Its not like that now but it has been in recent seasons. A garrote and rupture on 1 target isn't scary. But it can be on 3. Try getting that done vs a 3 caster team

#

Those things I think generally eclipse the advantage of having a silence tied to a 2m CD like vanish

stoic spruce
#

Give outlaw AoE parry that applies to teammates

#

Holy shit blizz hire me

#

Wait wait

#

I got another

#

Drink up me hearties

#

But good

outer sky
#

Can that even be good? It would have to copy like 100% of vials affect onto allies lol

#

I also didn't realize they totally removed vanish from restless blades effect

#

I thought they just nerfed it

#

And they nerfed hook

#

Fuck lol

stoic spruce
#

I already don't feel the hook nerf

#

I actually forget until someone brings it up lol

outer sky
#

I was playing skirms and BGs with verm a couple days ago and I saw him use hook and I thought I was lagging

#

I just dont get it

#

Its not like it was THAT fast to begin with

#

Its a mobility cooldown its supposed to get you somewhere quickly

stoic spruce
#

Normally when they do stuff like this they add different stuff in the following expac. I just hate we have to have this for an entire expac before we start getting the good stuff.

#

I'm not really worried personally

#

Just sucks for the time being

outer sky
#

Which is fine if so

#

I could stand to adopt that mentality myself

stoic spruce
#

There's a pattern of them doing a big culling and then adding stuff next expac

#

Nothing to do with outlaw

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Wod

outer sky
#

That was a while ago lol

stoic spruce
#

Bfa

#

And then SL gave us a ton of stuff

outer sky
#

I dont think the legion>bfa pruning was anywhere near as heavy handed as this

stoic spruce
#

No but the wod one is comparable

hollow carbon
stoic spruce
#

I'm just saying we get new stuff every single time

#

Frankly it's long overdue tbh

#

Should've had this in DF

stoic spruce
#

I don't think any of us actually expect it's dmg to be good

outer sky
#

See the issue here is that this culling coincided with the addon restrictions. They want to make things "more accessible" which i fear they'll interpret as "less stuff in your kit". Not to mention, lets be real here. What are the most played specs in the game? Ret pally, BM hunter, braindead mind numbing crap with Fisher Price rotations. Ive said this before: if I owned a restaurant and 70% of my customers ordered the same 2 items off the menu, then you'd better believe id be looking to see how I can make my other dishes as popular as those. And im afraid theyre looking at these depthless idiot proof specs and their relative popularity and thinking the same thing.

stoic spruce
#

I'm picking up what you're putting down

#

However I don't think it'll stay like this forever

#

They've been talking about this addon thing for manyyyyy years

#

I'm actually surprised they went through with it

#

Now I ain't saying we'll go back to a tww era of spec design but I can def see them adding more as time goes on.

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Ironically sub gained CC since SL

#

But who's shocked by that

#

Also

#

Maybe we don't gain CC at all and are given something else

#

Or

#

We're lowkey doomed and have to pay for our sins

#

God I hate Sub

outer sky
# stoic spruce Ironically sub gained CC since SL

Assa and sub both gained gouge. Sub and assa gained disarm if we want to call that CC. But otherwise all 3 specs have lost a ton of CC. At least up until midnight where sub got such a short CD on shadow dance that it feels

stoic spruce
#

What CC did we lose though

#

Prior to midnight

#

Obv

outer sky
#

And I think sap used to be 8s as well but I could be wrong about that

#

Yeah it did

stoic spruce
#

5s kidney is still the longest stun I'm pretty sure. Idk I feel like that one didn't really amount to much in the grand scheme of things.

#

The blind one sucked though

#

On the receiving end of blind saps though I get it

outer sky
#

Idk i loved 7s kidney lol

#

Oh

#

And of course

#

Kidney CD increased by 50%

#

When you add it all up its a lot

#

50% longer kidney CD, 2s shorter kidney duration, 3s shorter blind, 2s shorter sap

stoic spruce
#

I think the kidney stuff is fine but really the blind is annoying

#

Idk

#

They have this bipolar relationship with mico CCs

#

Try to reduce them but make even more?

outer sky
#

Id be okay with the duration staying 5s but I really want the CD increase reverted

#

Ya know I still spam my kidney keybind early because over like 8 years i developed like this internal timer to know when kidney is off CD and I havent overridden that yet

stoic spruce
#

I don't peepoBoomer

outer sky
#

But yeah I dont see us ever getting CC back and idk what else would fix these specs

#

I mean MAYBE make assa's hemotoxin as powerful as sharpened blade?

#

Is that fried?

stoic spruce
#

It should be as powerful

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

7s against a rogue is a very long time

outer sky
#

I think a full blown sharpened blade style MS would be fine for this iteration of assa

stoic spruce
#

Yeah

outer sky
#

But tie it to kingsbane not shiv since shiv is trash

stoic spruce
#

And outlaw gets float back :)

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

Nah, it should stay a live lord mid dmg spec

outer sky
#

Did you read the Dragonball Super Manga by any chance?

stoic spruce
#

No

outer sky
#

So vegeta gets a new form

#

Called Ultra Ego

#

In the recent chapter

#

And the whole idea is

#

The more damage he takes in that form

#

The stronger he gets

#

Thats how I envision outlaw

stoic spruce
#

Hmmm

#

Idkkkk

#

@spring bough I need you to tell me what to think

#

Because like

#

With this version of outlaw, we don't heal a lot

spring bough
stoic spruce
#

Just what zic just said

#

Don't read everything else

spring bough
#

I wish outlaw was like ultra instinct lmao

outer sky
#

Ultra instinct has WW monk vibes

#

Ultra ego is way more outlaw

#

First of all give back enduring brawler. That fit outlaw perfectly. 2nd, add a mechanic or talent or whatever where you do more damage the lower hp you are and you get another damage bonus if you take more than X% of your hp in damage in one hit stacking up to X times

#

Idk im spitballing here

stoic spruce
#

Well

#

EB we're already at if we go FB

#

But

#

One thing to note is that bte is a stacking buff now and that adds a good amount of freedom for gameplay

#

Idk

outer sky
stoic spruce
#

I feel this outlaw is so close to being really really good

outer sky
#

The idea of "ok i can try and kill this guy but if i dont finish him and hes super low hp he may one shot me" is interesting at least

#

"Dont cleave the outlaw he'll do more damage"

stoic spruce
#

I feel like that's more warrior than rogue tbh

#

Since warrior has a similar talent already

#

I think Fury

outer sky
#

I think youre right

#

Yeah

stoic spruce
#

Good cook tho

outer sky
#

Not like it matters lol

stoic spruce
#

Real

#

And also true

#

They'll add their own spin next expac and it'll be alright at best

outer sky
#

Alright at best and unplayable at worst lol

stoic spruce
#

Then we'll have to bow to our Sub overlords

#

Again

Okay. I read this and I feel like I understand where he's coming from but it also feels like he flat out just ignores the auto combo bar refresh and he's over focused on the ghost damage cloning portion too

#

Like there are times we don't have to waste a global building in the go window and just eviscerate, alone that makes up for the talent.

#

I don't know how he can justify dark brew now. We don't even have rupture pad.

I guess clone pad but he just talked about how bad clone damage was, so him investing more talents in clone damage is kind of weird

I'm queueing rogue/mage 2s skirms and weve killed this same MM hunter 3x in a row each time with him doing 0 damage, all because he's not human and isnt playing trinket so he has no way out of a stun.

He spoke as though you would get the same amount of finishers inside of a dance window with or without the last apex node.

But it is nice to have

Or you do a finisher, get full combo pts for free and can use it on a kidney or something on someone else

Maybe Kalvish makes it work. But it feels better to have FREE finishers on deck lol

Like you don’t always need someone in a stun to kill as long as healers ccd. And sometimes even when he’s not depending on comp

Whispyr seems to think they won’t change it, because they’ve basically tripled down on its design as a debuff with the latest change that borked it.

# dark kernel I don't see a world where there's any better talent choice., I especially don't ...

This is an interesting view ...

Currently many apex talents are broken and unused. I have been playing as rdruid/guardian, mistweaver, sub rogue and hunter so far ... and besides hunter every apex talent is broken/unused šŸ˜›

Sub apex: doesn't copy full ability, just first hit
Guardian apex: actually nerfs your damage - maybe since the second tier is bugged
rdruid: I think it works, but people often forego it in PvE
MW: Doesn't proc spiritfont/soothing mist as listed
MM: I think this one works? have only played it today so it might also be useless like the rest.

And these are all the specs I have tried so far ^^

Surely blizzard will fix, right? 3 months of beta should take care of stuff like that šŸ˜‰

dark kernel

Like they will get MAJOR shit for that

I expect a pretty substantial patch note list for next week. Pages

wise sequoia

Patch notes next week:
Fixed sub rogues apex talent: can now only be procced of eviscerate since cdg/ST breaks it.
...
Also 50% nerf to shadowstrike damage to get it more in line with our expectations.
And dance CD increased to 30 to allow for more planning in between burst.

I don't know if I have faith in their ability to fix the Apex talents.

They have had all of alpha, 3-4 months of beta and the game has now been live for 2 weeks.

Maybe they will fix it all next week, since it is a core feature of the expansion.

But ... how many of the hero talents ended up being unused/broken? And they have had YEARS to fix those.
