#

game trying to make me a stalker

keen belfry
#

u never say hi

#

aight man

random stirrup
sudden fulcrum
#

i said hi to awang once and he tried to get me to blow him

keen belfry
#

outta context

#

but also

#

the truth

#

cant defend myself

frail veldt
#

so whats the issue people are seeing

#

idgi

keen belfry
#

a net neutral aoe buff/nerf not very welcome here mewo

frail veldt
#

they didnt touch aoe

#

they buffed ST

keen belfry
#

yeah net neutral i just worded like a dingus

#

BF got nerfed

cinder relic
#

Remember when I say people just like to complain

keen belfry
#

but we got buffed so aoe basically unchanged

frail veldt
#

bf got compensatorily adjusted

keen belfry
#

mhm

#

same same

cinder relic
#

new word HOLY

frail veldt
#

lol

#

its a real word I swear

keen belfry
#

i know ptr tuning is piss pants

#

but man

#

i did like 3 keys or so

#

i was doing same dmg as live

frail veldt
#

we got an overall st buff

#

which I think we needed from what ive seen

keen belfry
#

st buff woo yes good thats objectively good

frail veldt
#

I can respect the take that being high in ST does put the spec on the radar for nerfs

keen belfry
#

do u think our aoe needs one

frail veldt
#

and while they are showing that they understand the concept of using BF to compensate for changing ST

#

this isnt what they have historically done when nerfing our ST

#

it took them months to make the compensation buff to BF after the last time they nerfed our st

keen belfry
#

I WANT TO PREFACE THIS WITH I KNOW PTR TUNING IS A MEME AND I HAVE FAITH WE WILL BE TOTALLY FINE IN S3 WHEN REAL CONTENT IS BEING DONE

#

but i think our ptr aoe needs buff

cinder relic
#

well our raid aoe is pretty nuts

keen belfry
#

whats the raid aoe like

#

like is it just 3 target

#

boom boom?

#

i have no clue what the fights look like

cinder relic
#

dh boss is just perma 3 target, other bosses are just adds spawn perma

keen belfry
#

oh yeah i mean if its stacked 3 target cleave

#

we should cook

#

and even if its randomly 2 or osmeting oh no more pc value!!

#

but i also wonder if im comparing dps of runs where the ptr tank would just pull big boy pulls

#

instead of what its like on live

cinder relic
#

well the screenshots I pinged u in are like

#

The aoe fights

#

and like I said there, if the spec is competing with the actual OP ptr specs then that's insane, especially if its getting a buff

#

especially when the buff just makes our ST less of a liability

indigo token
#

the bosses looked pretty spread apart

cinder relic
#

U can minimum perma 2 target

#

There will be a strat for movement to make it 3 target the entire fight odds are

indigo token
#

fair enough

random stirrup
devout smelt
#

do we know how much better kir will be over ho in keys

pliant wave
#

They should nerf Precise Cuts by 2.5% and revert Blade Flurry back to 50%.

indigo token
#

they should revert ks

covert heart
#

Nah I don't want the old ks

#

They just need to speed up the new one

pliant wave
#

Precise Cuts makes us too strong in 3 target raid situations, and because of that, we don’t get buffed even when we’re underperforming in Mythic+.

prisma heron
#

Is there a way to sim to see what crafted item you should recraft first?

junior coral
#

Any one streaming outlaw ptr atm?

still shard
#

It seems like the recent tuning is focused on ST performance in raids. Adjustments specifically for M+ are probably still on the way.

cinder relic
wintry solar
#

I've been running keys on ptr with 1fth and it's been doing fine for me

#

I feel middle of the pack with my friends but tbh I'd rather it be that way

#

It's so dangerous being good in ptr

wintry solar
cinder relic
#

No, Kir looks to be king next szn

devout smelt
#

is playing ho gonna be troll or is it like a sub 5% diff in keys?

cinder relic
#

live or next szn

devout smelt
#

next

cinder relic
#

Kr looks like over 5% st

#

So in aoe itll be even bigger

gaunt phoenix
#

Yeah kir is like

finite arch
wintry solar
#

Damn...

gaunt phoenix
#

10% in big pulls

#

Unless we invent a new HO build

devout smelt
#

damn

gaunt phoenix
#

go !

wintry solar
#

Well there's still tuning post season launch

devout smelt
#

i prefer payphone outlaw build

finite arch
#

Wait so kir plays the same as HO you just dont press ambush?

gaunt phoenix
#

!kir

ornate heathBOT
#

kir_rc KIR build compared to ambush HO:

  • doesn't use ambush, uses the same builder priority inside and outside of stealth
  • is more cp efficient with pistol shot usage (see faq)
  • has to use KIR itself as soon as you hit 4 buffs from RTB/CTO
  • has an additional reroll logic after pressing KIR (see faq)
  • is more punishing if you mess up builder priority at a given moment
  • needs 19% haste from rating to reach 25% during adrenaline rush after alacrity
  • KIR 1 FTH really likes trickster optimizations, like prioritizing SS when unseen blades are guaranteed (see faq)
finite arch
#

Yea im fucked

devout smelt
#

yeah

#

im taking kick off my bars i wont have the brain power to do everything!

craggy barn
#

lol

wintry solar
#

1fth is about as close as you can get to classic outlaw

#

Which is cool and all but sometimes you want something different

#

I do anyway

#

That's why I like it when ho and kir are close

devout smelt
#

current outlaw has been my favorite so far

#

with the frequent 5 rolls

wintry solar
#

Yeah this season has been a blast

#

Outside ks

#

Ofc

devout smelt
#

i was hoping theyd somehow carry over the tier set

craggy barn
#

solo, guy, how does it look when u have the lower end of haste

gaunt phoenix
#

How does what look

wintry solar
#

I imagine bad

craggy barn
#

ho vs kir with ho level of haste

gaunt phoenix
#

Idk get haste

craggy barn
#

nah jw for new outlaw friends of mine

wintry solar
#

I'd imagine we still do the HO until X% of haste

craggy barn
#

thats what im assuming

wintry solar
#

This haste tax is stupid

#

It's so annoying

craggy barn
#

pay ur taxes

wintry solar
#

No!

craggy barn
#

no buff for u then

wintry solar
#

I don't play outlaw to pay taxes

#

Okay you win

glass mortar
#

outlaw with low haste is miserable

#

craft ilvl 0 rings

#

u dont play outlaw with no haste

craggy barn
#

where do u think we get buffs from popo

finite arch
#

Guys stupid question on kir what is my builder inside subterfuge windows besides bf and AR

#

SS?

craggy barn
#

sinister strie

glass mortar
#

ss ps and BF in aoe

wintry solar
finite arch
#

Ok ill try some kir in keys latee

#

See how it goes

craggy barn
#

nah its where all our taxes go to

finite arch
#

So according to the guide i am always kir 4 buffs and up only?

gaunt phoenix
#

You SS and PS based on broadside/unseen blade/cps

#

Yes but you can kir 3 buffs if it is exactly broadside true bearing ruthless

finite arch
#

Ahhhhh

gaunt phoenix
#

The trifecto

#

Infinite dmg

wintry solar
#

Some might say

#

Big pp

#

PP

devout smelt
#

is the trickster kir optimization with ub to build to coup before vanish if at 3 stacks?

gaunt phoenix
#

You will hold vanish for coup every time

devout smelt
#

so only vanish right after coup?

craggy barn
#

unless ar fall off tho ye

gaunt phoenix
#

Unless you will lose AR of course

#

Within ~10 seconds of coup

#

Cause flawless form is 12s

craggy barn
#

do we have to wait for season start for new ks icon as a badge

gaunt phoenix
#

Maybe

craggy barn
#

i want my CatGun

devout smelt
#

flawless form is more finisher dmg right

gaunt phoenix
#

Yer

devout smelt
#

does it pause in vanish?

gaunt phoenix
#

No

devout smelt
#

so ideally have it for whole vanish window

gaunt phoenix
#

You cant exactly control it like that

finite arch
#

Goodbye my HO buddies we have been rotated out

devout smelt
#

oh yeah it doesnt refresh

finite arch
#

Time to change the badge

gaunt phoenix
#

There is just some amount of time where having high flawless form makes vanish worth it

#

Even if it ticks down a bit inside vanish

devout smelt
#

ok gotcha

#

thanks

craggy barn
#

just play every viable build iteration every season so u dont get blindsided

#

so if u get tired after 300 pulls u can swap to HO from kir when brain is dead

wintry solar
gaunt phoenix
#

Yeah cause you can afford to delay vanish

wintry solar
#

Yeah but

#

Holding vanish is so lame

gaunt phoenix
#

Is it

#

Vanish charges is like the best thing that happened to crackshot outlaw

wintry solar
#

Every second not in subt is a second wasted

inner meadow
gaunt phoenix
#

I didnt think it was necessary really

craggy barn
#

solo how big of a difference is it yo send ar right away for cp vs hold for ar uptime

inner meadow
#

Pin*

gaunt phoenix
#

You gain 10% single target and lose 0 aoe

inner meadow
#

Sorry not sim

gaunt phoenix
#

That's kind of it

inner meadow
#

Oh

#

Zac was going on about we lose a lot of aoe

gaunt phoenix
#

He thinks compared to live 11.1 outlaw, we lose aoe going into 11.2

#

I don't know a lot of data that actually supports this

inner meadow
#

^^

#

I assume u already seen it lmao

glass mortar
#

how hard we scale with aoe got decreased

#

im not sure how relevant that is

gaunt phoenix
#

I'm not convinced that thinking about cross-season tuning is a thing to worry about

glass mortar
#

thats just how u tune outlaw in aoe

#

there isnt really other ways to do it

inner meadow
#

Ye fair enough

#

But ig we can assume there is min 2 more tuning patches before it comes to live right?

gaunt phoenix
#

I don't know, I kind of suspect that is it for rogues

inner meadow
#

Soft cap blade flurry 🙏🏼

gaunt phoenix
#

I would have liked to see cancelling KS addressed

inner meadow
#

Gonna be praying for the rest of my life

blazing bloom
#

Friends, I see the allure of outlaw.. I have played sub and sin to 3000 score and just tried outlaw for the first time and I can feel my brain melting when I play it, but god damn is it fun

craggy barn
#

lol

gaunt phoenix
#

Outlaw becomes very intuitive muscle memory at some point

craggy barn
#

huge flow state spec

snow hill
gaunt phoenix
#

Outlaw looks fine

#

was already fine aoe, needed a ST buff, and now it got it

snow hill
#

I hope it stays fine too. It's so fun compared to everything else.

round spindle
#

KiR will again be king? How exciting.

snow hill
#

KIR is life

round spindle
#

Been aching for KiR since DF

Nothing spikes that dopamine more than x6 BTW procs Shivers violently

BTE**

round spindle
#

Im getting sweaty already.

snow hill
#

right?

gaunt phoenix
#

kir on 6 buffs and then being able to kir them again before they expire is up there

tender wedge
#

That’s peak outlaw moment

white marten
#

Gonna miss HO, although im sure it’ll probably get a buff by release

#

Nothing feels better than getting a 5-buff roll 3x in a row

dapper herald
#

the hell was this

#

did they actually change it like that and reverted?

#

or is it just some wowhead bug

wintry solar
#

Only playing 1fth in keys sounds so boring to me

keen belfry
#

play 2th

#

maybe 3th

craggy barn
#

1fth is interesting since it shows the potential for the flexibility of 2pt talents.

#

dont think it works for most cases tho

white marten
#

Blizz should just make fth a 1pt spec 😌

tender wedge
#

I think they’d consider that a reduction in decision making in the tree

craggy barn
#

if 1fth was always the play then id say ye

#

1fth only good in keys and anywhere pc is good

#

mop trees shouldve gotten this much attention

lone spear
#

its just a general philosophy change, they balance the game way more often now

#

since like df launch

craggy barn
#

ye

#

it sucks we never got to see the full potential of the mop trees, but its good theres some attention to the trees at least now

lone spear
#

yea, my hope is with their willingness to do more changes in classic as they go further

#

that we get legion classic, and they balance those talents more

#

legion classic with talent choice, legendary choice, and non-inhibitive artifact grind

#

would be peak

#

i just dont think theyre gonna jump the hurdle of being ridiculed by doing WoD classic, tho i swear if they announced WoD & Legion classic at the same time and did them back to back with little downtime, people would go crazy

proven ocean
#

And then say ZEROSS THIS WORD WAS BEING USED BEFORE U WERE BORN

#

ICANT brotherman u never even used it before

#

Also good morning chat

#

I had like

#

3.5 hrs of sleep was good

#

Time to game again

frail veldt
#

also compensatorily is for sure a word

proven ocean
frail veldt
#

I mean you know what compensate means

proven ocean
#

You just looked at the dictionary and wondered whats a word that’ll absoluteletily confuse everyone

frail veldt
#

it was the correct word for the situation lol its not confusing

proven ocean
#

Absoluteletily is a wordn’t btw

frail veldt
#

they adjusted the BF damage in a way that compensates for the ST buff

#

aka

#

it was a compensatory change

#

aka

#

they did it compensatorily

proven ocean
#

aka

#

Love u mewo

#

No cappi

frail veldt
#

hahahhaa

proven ocean
#

The yap is legendary

frail veldt
#

aint no one ever did it like me

keen belfry
#

is mewo too advanced

#

for zeross?

frail veldt
#

nah its his second language I think im at an unfair advantage

#

I wonder if zeross is as rap god on voice as he is on text

flat notch
#

Can someone explain why am I dying from my own killing spree debuff? I don't see any debuffs info about it in the game

grim spear
#

take a look at Killing Spree's tooltip.

flat notch
#

Do u mean this one?

paper lily
#

yes

flat notch
#

I thiught it affects the enemy

#

But ok. Then another question. Sometimes after the killing spree I do NOT receive this debuff. Why so?

paper lily
#

cuz U did not take dmg

flat notch
#

Wait. I get it now. It's not the damage from my ks it's the dmg i receive from enemy skills

paper lily
#

I am sorry not to offend but do u understand what u read ?

flat notch
#

Now I think I do, I apologize

#

But thanks for help!

grim spear
#

this phrasing is indeed a bit ambiguous

#

100% of damage YOU taken during effect ... better

flat notch
#

Yeah, and I still trying to understand what dmg exactly I will receive. From the void zone in which I stood before I use KS? Or from the void zone which appeared under me AFTER the KS

#

And while I'm in KS, will I receive the dmg if one of my jumps touches some one shots or beams from the boss

keen belfry
#

if you get hit by anything during ks you take its dmg as a dot

sudden fulcrum
#

if you die during ks you die irl Despair

flat notch
#

after KS is finished

#

I'm just trying to understand how the game determines my character's position during KS. Does the hitbox stay where I started, or does it move with each jump?

gaunt phoenix
#

you jump around

flat notch
#

Yes, now I get it. Thank you so much guys!

finite arch
#

I pressed KS got hit by something random and ifucking fell out of my chair

finite arch
upper surge
#

So

#

Is outlaw celebrating today

finite arch
#

At least it doesnt count

upper surge
#

I heard y'all got buffs

finite arch
#

it counts from what dmg you took when youre jumping around

#

So you can essentially dodge mechanics if you have good timing ig

#

generally just spamm cloak HAHAAH

keen belfry
#

solo

upper surge
#

group

keen belfry
#

i was so confused trying to do math today

#

where were you?

gaunt phoenix
#

Idk I saw immediate discourse after literal buffs and peaced out

finite arch
#

!wa

upper surge
#

wait

#

so both outlaw and fury

#

got mad

#

after getting buffed?

finite arch
#

wdym mad after buff?

keen belfry
#

we are based here Rtan

#

dont forget

finite arch
#

Can someone Simplify the 'container buff' thing for Kir?

normal violet
#

Any professional HO m+ that offer coaching for monies? (I hope this is ok to ask here)

finite arch
keen belfry
finite arch
gaunt phoenix
#

if you rolled at 60 seconds, you might just roll a 5 buff that you already have which will override your 60s buffs into 39s

#

so you try to roll when your buffs are closer to 39s

finite arch
#

So KIR pushes your kir'd buffs into the next container which means you can reroll immediately after?

#

so its like batching thing?

gaunt phoenix
#

it pushes their duration ahead of the container buff

#

the container buff is at most 39s

#

kir shoves them to 60s

#

so they are ahead of the container and dont get rolled

finite arch
#

ohhhh i see

#

wow wtf ok

#

Fuck it imma just level a paladin and press divine storm

keen belfry
#

BEGONE RET PALADIN

finite arch
#

Thank you though

#

I get it now

#

but jesus so much micro managing

#

Need to start learning KIR for s3

keen belfry
#

its not as much work as you think

hollow cypress
#

keep it rerolling

gaunt phoenix
#

the weakaura does the container shit for you

keen belfry
#

i wouldnt worry about what the container buff is, just how to utilize it

finite arch
#

I have that RTB WA that always repeats 'bad' roll

finite arch
gaunt phoenix
#

plaguing outlaw players for years

#

Yes

finite arch
#

Thats the only WA I have

#

been using the blizzard cd manager

#

to track my rolls

#

I only picked up outlaw mid season so i am p fresh

#

Sometimes i still forget to reroll HAHAH

#

fuck if blizzard limits addons a lot I wonder if the rtb one will get affected'

gaunt phoenix
#

the container shit will be affected since it has to parse combatlog

hollow cypress
#

do outlaw rogues now work as construction workers or wtf is a container

normal violet
#

It's a concept

finite arch
#

Im out here fucking playing mozart and bethoven in keys

glass mortar
#

container theory is why u can press RtB and not replace buffs sometimes

hollow cypress
#

yes if piano had like 5 buttons

glass mortar
#

kir/cto etc

#

its all explained in the advanced faq

finite arch
torpid fiber
#

outlaw is like sight reading a rhythm game; you only have so many inputs but you gotta be able to adapt to what's coming up

weary cargo
#

10% dmg buff

-5% BF dmg
-3% mystic touch …

We will still lose dps almost 😒

finite arch
torpid fiber
#

maybe

frail veldt
#

Outlaw has not many core rotation buttons but has a decent amount of additional short cd buttons

wintry solar
#

well

#

just deleted my builds in anticipation for next season

#

it feels like going to a chicken place, maybe Popeyes and you find out theyre out of biscuits.

#

its still good but its missing something yknow

chilly atlas
#

i mean it's probably better if popeyes is out of biscuits, you might break your teeth

wintry solar
#

break teeth? no

#

dry you from your soul?

#

yes

chilly atlas
#

need like 3 drinks

wintry solar
#

its so worth

#

something about dry biscuits and fried chicken is such a good combo

#

Anyone experience this bug where weapon swap macro stopped working in a key?

#

'Cant do this rn'

#

!macro

ornate heathBOT
#

Macroing gs is relatively "ok", be aware that it wont ever be entirely optimal: target swapping in m+ or putting it on a dying target for example. You can macro it to all your abilities.

You can’t do that right now

Or ever

dafak

red zinc
#

some weapons are blacklisted from swap in keys

#

Thumb is the only one this season afaik

#

They do it so people dont swap for bosses but always forget a few so it happens anyway garf_sit

tender wedge
#

I assumed it was so you couldn’t get the special effect going then swap off

Locked to mace till end of season ig

But they forget special weapon effects sometimes anyway

#

hmmmmm

red zinc
#

Do you have a capo

tender wedge
#

Having 20 less ilvl on your offhand during boss fights in keys isn’t the end of the world

#

Just go 681 MH (it’s better than 671 gally) and cudgel off hand and don’t think too hard about it

#

So is there a conclusion for how big of an aoe nerf yesterday’s update was?

cinder relic
#

It was a buff

#

You do more aoe damage post patch

frigid gorge
round spindle
#

Where will Outlaw be after 10% single target? Respectable? I don't expect that is a competitive for top spot type buff.

#

Hope its enough to warrant progress as outlaw instead of sub

grim spear
#

next tier I don't care about any of that

#

just going outlaw for prog

lone spear
#

as long a spec isnt in the dirt, you can play anything unless your guild is going for like, top 20 world

#

it is borderline impossible for us to be best spec in raid this patch tho, just cause of how the hard fights are designed

jolly geyser
#

What class is "best" on ptr anyway?

lone spear
#

i mean it was fdk

#

and then they copped huge nerf

#

MM was also good, nerfed

#

its still not conclusive

#

but for raid, anything that has really good burst should do great

shell basalt
#

Fdk is still fine

#

They was massively overtuned

cedar oxide
#

I think unholy is above it now tho

fair oak

I’m playing rogue all 3 specs and maybe DH as a alt

civic zephyr
#

im kinda dreading next season with new ks, like im really enjoying outlaw and learning it, but the new ks seems so.. shit, to be nice, the idea is cool, but i think it needs to be lower channel, and lower cd, even if it does less damage, and honestly, give us soft cap rather than hard cap, just so i dont feel useless compared to literally anything else in the game that has a soft cap, im fine with vanish/crackshot windows, but just dreading the new KS and the fact we are still hard locked to 8 targets with a talent :/

obsidian walrus
#

I took a break from mythic raiding in season 2 because guild died on Queen prog so I was thinking going back to mythic raiding

tbh fit lol, the vet track tier pants are great this season and there's the ashvane coat in tw next next week i think :b

#

like it matters if you're playing in a group that is pulling with uncapped in mind, like playing with moonkin/unholy

#

but then ur not playing the right comp anyway yaknow

#

and then ofc the cap doesnt matter for keys below like 16

#

cause u aint doing those co-ordinated pulls

#

or u are and ur punching below ur key weight so to speak

wintry solar
#

I keep pausing adr out of stealth/subt, anyone know how im doing this? I just did it in a key

#

I thought it was just in the open world

shell fossil
#

outlaw damage profile really likes 2-7 targets, i was having mald issues on cinder cause it was always 10 targets and 8 of them die at the same time

#

yeur numbers are fine tm but yeah sucks

lone spear
#

i mean its fine to have niches

#

there are times in dungeons where moonkins are and unholy are screeching cause people chain pull

civic zephyr
#

yeah my main issue is killing spree going into the next season

lone spear
#

its divisive for sure

quiet root
#

i think outlaw is one of the best pug specs, you can do dmg regardless of how the dungeon is pulled

lone spear
#

yur

wintry solar
#

thats as best as I can do lol

shell fossil
#

open with gear grinders

civic zephyr
#

like im still really new to the spec, but loving it more as i keep learning it, but the whole killing spree thing is throwing me off atm

shell fossil
#

im gonna miss it tbh

lone spear
#

if the new killing spree is boring for u

#

then theres a minigame of cancelling right as u get 7cp

finite arch
#

I generally open with Drest'agath

lone spear
#

its a smol damage gain and its kinda fun to time it

civic zephyr
#

its not the fact its boring, it just seems bad design for the play of the spec itself, like why is a now like "big" cd a dps increase to cancel?

#

and even then we will have to cancel to use utility in ccs

lone spear
#

its partly because some of the power budget is tied to the CP it generates

#

i mean if the ability did like 10% more damage it wouldnt be

quiet root
#

yeah it's maybe bad design to have canceling be the correct choice, but i think it actually makes it more fun

#

adds minmaxing

shell fossil
#

it would be better if they had some benefit to it finishing the cast

lone spear
shell fossil
#

more ub procs etc

novel socket
#

!fuu

ornate heathBOT
lone spear
#

i agree tho they should let us use utility inside it

civic zephyr
#

but if they made it a shorter channel, it to me would make it more fluid with the playstyle and less of a detriment to actually use the ability rather than have to figure out how to make it viable

lone spear
#

like blind and stuff

finite arch
#

Fatebound coin should be what RTB is

shell fossil
#

they're probably having the same discussion

lone spear
#

like how warriors can stormbolt during bladestorm as slayer

civic zephyr
#

like i get its better than we are now with ks, but the idea of settling for "well its better than what we have" over "this is a big ability change thats actually making the spec better overall"

lone spear
#

i agree, but at the same time i think this is the direction they want to go with the ability

wintry solar
#

frankly all it needs is a 10% buff and prio dmg and its borderline perfect

civic zephyr
#

obviously we still have time for more changes, but i dislike a big change coming doing to "well its better than it was"

#

like yeah

wintry solar
#

which is crazy tbh

quiet root
#

well since outlaw was fun with old ks, it should be more fun with new ks, so i'm not worried about it

civic zephyr
#

if they made it prio damage, and flurry off to target cap

wintry solar
#

only thing im really worried about is the ub

lone spear
civic zephyr
#

and a shorter channel ssince its a melee class and can get interrupted by anything atp

lone spear
#

than devoting more time to make KS like the perfectest button

shell fossil
#

im kinda thinking they're worried about cto procs

lone spear
#

how bout some love for our talent trees

civic zephyr
#

i think overall atleast those changes would make it alot better

lone spear
#

idk, theres skill involved in playing around KS

#

if they made it totally frictionless, it would lose that

civic zephyr
#

give it prio and a shorter channel, and it'd already be in a much better place than it is

lone spear
#

i can agree the channel is a bit long

#

but where is the sweet spot

#

if u make it shorter then like fuck too short and increase it

#

there will be riots

quiet root
#

well that is quite the indicator of what people find fun isn't it

shell fossil
#

i think this season is the first that doesn't play with rtb procs since i started playing in df

#

they're definitely cooking something

wintry solar
#

im gonna find whats making my adr pause out of stealth in keys and im gonna take it to my grave (share it with a few people)

lone spear
#

is it an indefinite pause?

wintry solar
#

yeah

hoooly can untalent uhuh

you know that bug in the open world?

its the exact same

it gets brought up from time to time

BF nerf is like 10% aoe nerf right?

torpid fiber
#

no

#

it's like a 0.5% nerf to non-prio damage (less with precise cuts) and a 10% buff to prio damage overall

cinder relic
#

The change is literally a buff

torpid fiber
#

(or well, bf nerf independently is <10% aoe yes, but we got a 10% buff)

cinder relic
#

It is a buff in all content

#

Its a st buff, its an aoe buff

#

There is no nerf

civic zephyr
#

now all they need to do is make KS prio damage again, and might be okay

novel socket
#

isn't aoe a nerf ?

#

there was a discussion about it yesterday

cinder relic
#

It is a buff

torpid fiber
#

it's a buff but it very very very slightly changes damage profile i think but I haven't done the maths with precise cuts or similar

novel socket
#

okie

nova basin
#

its 300>308% im almost certain

novel socket
#

good then

#

only buffs

torpid fiber
#

the buff to your primary target damage outweights the almost non-existent nerf to your non-primary target damage

cinder relic
#

its like a 0.2% buff or nerf in either direction, it's a non change

balmy topaz
#

Overall it's an AOE nerf compared to live is what they are saying

cinder relic
#

Its a change soley to compensate for the large ST buff

nova basin
#

2.867% was it?

#

2.67%**

torpid fiber
#

it doesn't matter tbh

#

treat it as 10% primary target buff and 0 change to non-primary target imo

#

that's the best way to think about it

red zinc
#

What are these numbers

torpid fiber
#

they did a calc on 5t sustained

#

but that's not really the useful way to think about it

cinder relic
#

.

nova basin
#

the fact that outlaw damage fluctuates like 20% or so you probably wont even notice it.

cinder relic
#

Its an aoe change not meant to impact the damage of the spec

#

THe entire point of this balance pass was to buff ST

#

AoE is mostly identical

#

Its also a prio buff which ppl like a lot

hot olive
#

changed the profile for good

flat needle
#

Are we back on the menu?????

nova basin
#

has anyone done the math with how this changes fatebound?

cinder relic
#

Never left realistically speaking

civic zephyr
#

on aoe, the buff is 1.2% with the changes compared to damage now and current bladeflurry roughtly

cinder relic
#

The spec is quite good

#

Its just not OP like DK, BM, etc

#

They are getting nerfed patch over patch

civic zephyr
#

its an allround straight buff, which is nice, but i still think KS needs to be adressed, and atleast made to do prio damage

nova basin
#

can we all just log into PTR and play so epicly bad to fudge blizz numbers so they buff us more.. ty.

obsidian walrus

Do we still use the weird off hand wep even in the new season ?

holy shit

Im officially converted

reminder this is how the spec performed on the aoe raid boss

#

OFc, aoe raid boss

#

ST bad

nova basin
cinder relic
#

Ofc precice cuts good in raid

#

But, spec wasn't exactly dumpster trash

#

I think rogue is really well positioned after all the buffs its been getting

vivid vessel
#

i think people think about m+

#

when aoe talk

#

not raid

#

and thats alwasy quite different

prisma vessel
#

raid less times for aoe so yea

nova basin
#

what is raiding?

prisma vessel
#

point made xD

lone spear
#

also all raid AoE is deemed as "pad"

prisma vessel
#

also yeah, KIR super fun.

lone spear
#

which is dumb, someones gotta kill the adds

cinder relic
#

I can't imagine the spec is one of the best raid cleave specs and then is just literally turbo shit ass in dungeons

vivid vessel
#

I mean i can tell you the aoe in keys didnt look like that at all lol

#

i thinkl you can imagine it fairly easely tho

nova basin
#

i get flamed for padding in cinderbrew by pugs all the time... YES MAN ITS MY NATURAL CLEAVE

vivid vessel

this is exactly what happens every tier ?

outlaw aoe in raid is alwasy like

Question for you guys- I was looking at sims and noticed blade furry was only pressed 3 times in 5 minutes why is this?

cinder relic

I mean what specs are u doing dungeon tests with

vivid vessel
#

whenever you have paddy bosses

#

the same as raid

#

trickster

#

oh you mean against what specs

lone spear
vivid vessel
#

no i meant in raid i turbo gapped epople on these aoe bosses

vivid vessel
#

that isnt a thing at all in m+

prisma vessel
vivid vessel

ho is shit

thick shale
cinder relic
#

Im asking in dungeons u tested, what specs were people playing

vivid vessel
#

a lot of specs

lone spear
prisma vessel
vivid vessel
#

mage dk hunter mostly

cinder relic
#

So DK is like, the best spec on PTR by far rn, next to hunter, next to mage ICANT

vivid vessel
#

ye

cinder relic
#

Which u know, have been getting chain nerfed every patch

vivid vessel
#

but you won against them in raid is my point

nova basin
#

i would argue if you are doing 1-10 keys HO is likely better, anything above its probably better fir KiR - just because health pools in lower keys things dont really stay alive to maintain properly

cinder relic
#

Uh no

vivid vessel
#

aoe raid =/ aoe m+

cinder relic
#

FDK/BM/Mage was better than outlaw on every aoe fight

novel socket
#

the real question is

lone spear
#

m+ balance isnt really a zero-sum game either, like you arent really competing with them if you arent playing the same comps. i guess the thing is pugging is easier if people are playing phys comp

novel socket
#

how much can rogue cheese the s3 raid ?

vivid vessel
#

ye its litteraly doing the same damage tho guy

novel socket
vivid vessel
#

its not the case in keys

cinder relic
#

Yeah I'm aware of that fact

vivid vessel
#

ye well

#

thats just my point

cinder relic
#

I'm saying if these specs are getting nerfed

vivid vessel
#

aoe raid isnt aoe m+

cinder relic
#

OUtlaw is getting buffed

vivid vessel
#

yes

cinder relic
#

both directly and indirectly by these changes

#

CT also just got nerfed for sin

vivid vessel
#

but my whole point here is that you cant look at aoe in raid and think its the same story in m+ lol

#

thats just cause outlaw play aoe talents in raid and doesnt care

cinder relic
#

Sure

vivid vessel
#

if you compare to like sin for example

#

you play entirely diferent talents

#

you would never play m+ talents in raid

#

you take spatter

#

thats it

#

its prolly the same shit for a lot of specs

#

which is why there is a big disparity

cinder relic
#

Sure, But I think with these repeated balance changes, its helping outlaw a lot

#

Considering its getting both buffed, and its competition is getting nerfed

thick shale
vivid vessel

ya we seem to be agreeing too much recently

I just hope outlaw is good for prog

it will be unless you're going for rank

Sub is going to be very good

Thanks guys still new to rogue lmaoo

Sub is better for sure

sub bursts harder

cinder relic

Sin is played by copers

thick shale
#

Still shocked about blade flurry smh

cinder relic
#

Well ofc more balance can happen

#

But as of right now, today, sub is better next tier

finite arch
novel socket
#

isn't sin boss dmg huge ?

vivid vessel
#

because sub is always better

#

if you play sin you are stupid

#

historically

cinder relic
#

Sin is literally dogshit rn on ptr

novel socket
#

hmm

cinder relic
#

thats why its getting a 4% buff

#

But sub is also getting another buff

#

Subs damage being concentrated into CDs is just way better too

novel socket
#

yeah but sin can always get a 30% aura buff a day before live patch you know Pepegrin

vivid vessel
#

no it cant

#

sub is always the meta choice

#

sin get buffed after progged

#

thats the rule

finite arch
vivid vessel
#

no but you can pin this hypergrab

novel socket
#

oh well

cinder relic
#

For some reason the sub channel have been mind controlled into thinking sub isnt the go to prog spec every tier

finite arch
novel socket
#

less things to farm

cinder relic
#

But I mean yeah

novel socket
#

i'm going sub for s3

cinder relic
#

Sub is fun, sub looks strong

finite arch
#

Sleeper rotation

normal forge
cinder relic
#

When all your damage is in cds, and multiple bosses have "take additional damage" phases, its gonna be a real easy sub tier to just play

finite arch
novel socket
#

but doesn't sin do the same too just in the long term

#

with deathmark and kb

finite arch
#

Thats a crazy burst trink

novel socket
#

sub does big dmg in burst

#

sin does even bigger dmg but its from dots

vivid vessel
#

burst better

novel socket
#

so its overall dmg

finite arch
vivid vessel
#

damage amp

#

bim bam boom

#

go up

#

damage

finite arch
#

If you gotta reapply your dots and miss the window or delay it its sadge

cinder relic
#

Lets use our thinking caps for a second

vivid vessel
#

ok thinking

novel socket
#

do we have to ?

cinder relic
#

Lets say both specs do 5m st overall to use a nice simple number

novel socket
#

yapping caps are funnier

cinder relic
#

They both deal 5m flat st over an entire encounter

vivid vessel
#

guys he is about to explain why outlaw is dogshit

nova basin
#

im thinking... fajitas for dinner.

vivid vessel
#

listen

vivid vessel
#

be attentive chat

cinder relic
#

Lets say a boss has a phase that says "at 80%, take 200% increased damage for 15 seconds"

#

If both sub and sin deal 5m DPS

#

which gains more DPS from this damage amp phase

novel socket
#

sub does

nova basin
#

outlaw

finite arch
vivid vessel
#

not outlaw !

cinder relic
limpid onyx

Mm hunter

but if the raid doesn't have dmg amp phases

where the entire fight is afk, but you need execute

#

^

finite arch
#

But i want to know when does outlaw overtake sub and sin

cinder relic
#

DSM is also very bad this upcoming tier

normal forge
cinder relic
#

More so than most tiers, DSM seems very annoying to micro manage

novel socket
#

because outlaw has no burst

novel socket
#

he gets ahead from overall dmg

cinder relic
#

Outlaw will excell in the cleave fights this tier, which there are multiple

finite arch
cinder relic
#

However many of the hardest fights have damage amps sub sub will likely just be the go to prog spec for most ppl

finite arch
#

I almost never do vexie mechs

#

I just sit on her

#

Parseing

cinder relic
#

Well, sin will likely be the most popular spec but sub will be better if u aren't a noob

novel socket
#

outlaw is top dps in vexie and styx

vivid vessel
#

wtf

#

he just called me a noob

novel socket
#

because unlimited cleave

#

but in mug or gally when you can't always hit the boss

cinder relic
#

Outlaw will have good fights next tier the same way it has good fights this tier

finite arch
novel socket
#

because your monkey tanks decide to take the bosses for a walk in the park to pee or something

#

you lose tons of dps

cinder relic
#

The issue outlaw will always have is mentality of the high level players more so than anything else

novel socket
#

while the other specs don't really care since they wait for their cds to come back

cinder relic
#

But this tier is a damage amp tier so

#

The weakness does matter more than usual this tier

finite arch
#

Will kezan be bis moving into s3 raiding?

If sub played like arcane I’d be into it

I did a 13 ML and my kezan did 2mil overall

#

Waste of a trinket

grim spear
#

no burst thing

#

blahblahblah

cinder relic
#

High level players dont want to play outlaw because

lone spear
#

^ real

vivid vessel
#

real reason is ylu dont have outlaw weapons tho

bright lodge
#

Wouldn’t sub be better even in cleave, granted they have innate bf?

cinder relic
#

Usually tuning between the rogue specs is pretty small, but between crafted gear, gearing for the spec you intend to play on the later bosses being important, between a lot of the best players not really wanting to bother with the spec even when it is objectively better

#

A combination of these factors

finite arch
#

Too cd dependwnt

cinder relic
#

Like rogue is generally pretty balanced, between the specs, in raid

finite arch
#

Unlwss they die quick

novel socket
#

oh i see

cinder relic
#

So when outlaw is like, 5% better on 1 fight in the middle of the raid its like

#

Most ppl pushing for world ranks probs aren't gonna bother swapping to it yk

novel socket
#

its because outlaw doesn't use two daggers i think

finite arch
#

Sub does like 0 dmg outside its burst

novel socket
#

while with sin and sub

#

you can just switch

#

with the same weapons

cinder relic
#

Well its mostly a "I'm gonna craft my gear around what spec I play on the hard fights"

novel socket
#

they both use mastery as their main substat too

#

while outlaw is versa versa versa

cinder relic
#

and a lot of the time that spec ends up being sub, or sin, and not outlaw

#

Like silken court, not an outlaw fight

finite arch
cinder relic
#

Mugzee, not an outlaw fight

finite arch
#

My goat

vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Outlaw really isnt that bad tho, this tier might be an exception on the harder bosses but

vivid vessel
#

im sorry to disapoint

finite arch
novel socket
#

outlaw can do degenerate things in raid

cinder relic
#

for wrs u gotta be a meta cuck or ppl shame u, even on tiers where outlaw is just objectively better

novel socket
#

with unlimited movement and defenses

finite arch
cinder relic
#

but also if ur not pushing wr who gives a fuck

grim spear
novel socket
#

since people are obsessed with meta

#

no matter the level they play

#

even if at their level it doesn't matter

#

fucking streamers yapping whatever bs they come up with

lone spear
#

it can affect u if ur raid leader is like "not meta spec? benched"

novel socket
#

and people eat it

lone spear
#

but thats a guild issue

finite arch
#

My guild is asking me to go sin for prog in s3

lone spear
#

ive just accepted i'll have to get me some daggers to play ass/sub on last 2

novel socket
#

my guild is also getting more serious for s3 and they want a specific roster with specs and classes

#

roster is important but also

#

by the time we reach the hard bosses

#

its more like heroic++ than mythic

#

with the amount of stats we have

lone spear
#

my guild said that then recruited 2 ret paladins and have a nepo-raider trying to decide which fotm to play

#

but they keep nerfing the fotms

novel socket
#

yesterday we were doing reclear on gally

#

and i realized

#

that i can sit under gally while he does suppression with feint

#

and not drop below 50%

#

what turbo boost did to raid is unhinged

lone spear
#

yea its not even close either

#

if u max melee

novel socket
#

in progress i played it safe but now

#

i'm never leaving the boss

lone spear
#

thats how u parse son

#

greeeeeed

novel socket

but i had to switch to fatebound

because tanks still can't control the boss

xdd

novel socket
#

sometimes they decide to take the boss for a ride in the park or some shit

to pee in a bush i guess

and then bring it back

Thats why they give you 2 charges of grappel

** grandmelee GM changes with new 11.2 BF: grandmelee **
grandmelee GM has been a x1.2 multiplicative modifier despite its confusing tooltip. This doesn't make any difference until you start factoring in PC which is an additive modifier (additive modifiers are applied before the multiplicative ones). The damage formula (with FF and PC) before was: (0.5 + ((7 - cleave targets) * 0.05)) * 1.2 * 1.25 which I confirmed a few months back.

With the changes to BF to 45%, grandmelee GM is still providing 10% extra cleave baseline, but it is still multiplicative. In order to get the same +10% on a 45% base value you need it to be x1.2222222... (repeating).
That makes the new grandmelee GM formula: (0.45 + ((7 - cleave targets) * 0.05)) * 1.222... * 1.25. The combat log screenshot confirms the formula for 2 targets. @gaunt phoenix can you create a PR for simc for this?

if GM was still x1.2 hitting for 24034 would cleave on 2 target for x1.125 (27,038.25). Instead with x1.222... it cleaves for x1.145833333 (27,538.9) which matches the screenshot (27540) with some rounding
