yeah of its buff

gaunt phoenix
#

yea adrenaline rush doesnt tick down during subterfuge, so while there are some rules to flex vanish usage, sometimes you have to vanish immediately if AR is about to expire so you dont lose it

sullen wyvern
#

idk if this has been answered yet but do we supercharge KS?

#

in either aoe or ST

gaunt phoenix
#

yea its fine

sullen wyvern
#

ty

tender wedge
#

cloak just got buffed again

gaunt phoenix
#

huge

frank finch
#

?

#

surely this buff we already had

torpid fiber
#

What are they doing with the tank cloak lmao

frank finch
tender wedge
#

dis proportionate buff to outlaw, love it

frank finch
#

if thats actually a brand new buff

#

law is up baby

toxic laurel
#

vers stonks

dim parrot
#

Sigh

#

Do we have sims yet for 8 target with new tuning or

daring yoke
#

Hey guys. For 11.2, whats the difference in playstyle/buttons for trickster m+ kir vs fatebound raid kir? Assuming kir is the way to go for both builds

gaunt phoenix
#

at 8 target

grim spear
#

fb basically doesnt have to care about anything, while trick still has to pay attention to ub eb coup thing

gaunt phoenix
#

fatebound just has different vanish rules, you try not to vanish unless ruthless precision or supercharger becomes active

frail veldt
#

yeah tbh fatebound vanish rules are way more tedious

#

also you only bte with rp up when outside of stealth right?

gaunt phoenix
#

yea you try not to send a raw bte unless rp is active

#

tho idk how much that matters recently

daring yoke
#

Ah i see perfect thanks. I hope it doesnt messes up my brain/muscle memory much lol

gaunt phoenix
#

probably matters more because dispatch flips coins betterer

haughty wigeon
#

Yall get to rip threat more

#

And my useless cloak is 7% more useless

random stirrup
#

Why did they nerf the tank one and buff the dps one

#

Interesting choice

haughty wigeon
#

It’s funny right

#

But like

#

It’s not like cloak for tanks is good anyways

pliant wave
#

Is Outlaw with showing significantly higher damage contribution from the Artifact Cloak compared to other specs?

#

with high Haste and Versatility

frank finch
#

yes

#

we gain the most from reshii

serene heath
#

So chat are we happy or still sad

tender wedge
#

this is outlaw we always sad

verbal pike
tender wedge
#

less sad, but the sub and assa changes were both better

#

so we're happy but there's a lot more room for further enhappyafying

#

i think one general positive is that some of the non-numerical changes they did for assass and sub addressed some specific concerns so it gives me confidence that whoever is watching does actually have a handle on the problems

#

what that means for future outlaw changes idk

worthy elm
#

How far ahead is KiR from ... non KiR

frank finch
#

like 5 %

vivid vessel
#

Solo

#

Can I still cancel ks

#

Ah ok I need to read pin

#

Bro this is shit

#

This tuning is wack man

#

Why did they buff fateboudn

#

Why did they nerf trickster bf

#

Why did they buff ks again

#

I'm so confused

frank finch
#

there he is

tender wedge
brisk meadow
grim spear
#

bc they want us to play fb in raid and trick in keys

#

and they dont want us to cancel ks

#

thats the only way to make sense of it

vivid vessel
#

They don't understand outlaw

#

This is so bad

#

Everytime they buff fateboudn I lose hope

#

Everytime they nerf trickster outlaw is more shit

haughty wigeon
#

He’s starting

vivid vessel
#

You are clueless

haughty wigeon
#

Everyone duck in cover

vivid vessel
#

Ye cause they always buff us in the worse way possible

haughty wigeon
#

Is it gonna be

#

Another

#

It’s actually a nerf

vivid vessel
#

?

#

You are so stupid

haughty wigeon
#

Cause last season number was bigger

vivid vessel
#

They buff ks just enough so it'd not worth to cancel

haughty wigeon
#

Like last tuning

vivid vessel
#

They nerf trickster AOE again

random stirrup
#

Guy is already fighting demons in sub

vivid vessel
#

They buff fateboudn by more than trickster

#

Like

random stirrup
#

we gonna have infinite content

dim parrot
#

I agree with Zac on this one fam

vivid vessel
#

Idk how you can be happy about all this shit

haughty wigeon
#

Surprising

vivid vessel
#

Other than outlaw doing more damage

vivid vessel
haughty wigeon
#

They also did a aura buff

#

To offset the aoe nerfs

vivid vessel
#

Ye omegalul

haughty wigeon
#

So it ends up being a net buff in aoe at 8 targets for trickster

#

Like last time

vivid vessel
#

Ye bro

#

But you didn't read one word I said so

unreal drum
#

what he means is the gap between trickster and fatebound in aoe is getting considerably smaller so since they are also buffing fatebound if they keep going with this idea it will be FB for everything and thats boring

vivid vessel
#

No

#

It's not boring

haughty wigeon
#

That’s not what he’s saying

vivid vessel
#

Fateboud is the worse shit ever

unreal drum
#

ohh

haughty wigeon
#

Fatebound is just ass

vivid vessel
#

You don't wanna be playing fatebound

#

Fatebound damage profile

#

Is literally

haughty wigeon
#

But will this push fatebound for everything? Probably not

frank finch
#

fb and trickster are now the same in 2t

vivid vessel
#

So ass

#

You don't wanna be playing fateboudn

#

Ever

#

If your best simming spec

#

Is fatebound

brisk meadow
#

I like the animation

vivid vessel
#

It's just over

haughty wigeon
#

Odds are it’s just the best In st only like always

vivid vessel
#

Except everytime they do this

#

You have less of an option to play trickster

#

So you have to feel super shit to play trickster

#

And feel super shit when you play fateboudn

#

Also buffing ks just enough so you don't cancel is demonic I'm ngl

haughty wigeon
#

I mean

#

Blizzard hates it when you cancel shit

#

I’m not surprised

brisk meadow
#

Gotta appreciate the animators somehow

haughty wigeon
#

And anyone who plays a spec with a channel or

radiant steppe
haughty wigeon
#

You know that they do that for every channel that they find out it’s a gain to cancel it

vivid vessel
#

Ye well don't give me a channel that long

#

And don't have it give me cp

cinder relic
vivid vessel
#

If I'm gonna have to afk at the end

#

You don't even play outlaw guy

frank finch
#

but the reshii wraps got buffed again !!!!!

vivid vessel
#

Litteraly just happy about number going up without thinking about any of the consequences

#

Could be an outlaw dev

haughty wigeon
#

Ya guy

#

You the outlaw guide writer for years

cinder relic
#

Truth nuke

haughty wigeon
#

Don’t play outlaw

vivid vessel
#

I mean omegalul

brisk meadow
vivid vessel
#

He doesn't know ICANT

haughty wigeon
#

Rogue main plays rogue stuff

#

Shocking

#

Only outlaw one tricks allowed her only

vivid vessel
#

omegalul not even 1 (one)

haughty wigeon
brisk meadow
vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Why would I play the spec if it isnt fun?

vivid vessel
#

It's so useless when the thing it does is bring fatebound AOE on par to trickster aoe by making trickster AOE worse

#

Instead of fixing

#

Why fatebound

#

Is so useless

azure vortex
#

Why do fk they nerf ww tier set

#

I am so angry

haughty wigeon
#

But trickster aoe

#

Got buffed

vivid vessel
#

Ye you are stupid haha

civic zephyr
vivid vessel
#

How is this so hard to get I don't even understand

#

Me when outlaw get a 40% st buff but a 40% bf nerf and it's getting buffed in AOE CAUGHT

vagrant saddle
#

zac, u have done a good amount of ptr keys. is losing current tier set dreadful or is it fine? feel wise not dmg

vivid vessel
#

Everytime they do these buffs without touching how fateboudn works I get balls cancer

vivid vessel
#

I think you get locked into bad rng more tho

#

Where last tier outlaw could get out of it by rolling again and again

vagrant saddle
azure vortex
#

Remove fatebound for outlaw and balance only trickster easy fix no?

vivid vessel
#

Ye kinday point

#

When fatebound is such a bad damage profile

#

They did that with assa

#

Idk why we can't have the same

#

Instead of being forced into the worse damage profile In the game

hasty warren
#

Hi pirates

grim spear
#

I dont really care, both trick and fb are pretty boring

#

actually, all the hero talents have been a huge disappointment for me

haughty wigeon
# vivid vessel Me when outlaw get a 40% st buff but a 40% bf nerf and it's getting buffed in AO...

I understand that nerfing bf but buffing st means that the spec will technically see a loss on its direct aoe viva bladeflurry

But at the same time when the spec needs more st buffs without making its aoe sky rocket out of control since face it bladeflurry is outlaws only source of aoe

There’s not much tuning knobs to do turn to buff the spec in the areas it needs to be buffed without snowballing aoe. While yes this makes fateblunder more stronger as well by directly touching trickster aoe while butting the cores spec st. I don’t believe this will make fatebound the default pick your your level of keys

#

They can’t exactly leave it to die either

quaint mauve
haughty wigeon
#

They have to make an attempt tm to make fateblund competitive numbers wise

daring yoke
#

just realized pinned. is there a chance of Fatebound being as good as trickster in m+?

cinder relic
#

Probably not

#

But its less bad now

vivid vessel
haughty wigeon
#

Lmao probs not

cinder relic
#

Might be better on some raid encounters

hasty warren
vivid vessel
#

And my issue is mostly fb vs trickster here tbf

haughty wigeon
vivid vessel
#

By 3%?

#

Common

haughty wigeon
#

Man you are just hard to talk to

daring yoke
vivid vessel
#

3.5%

#

My bad

vivid vessel
#

You lose 20% prio damage

#

In aoe

balmy topaz
#

This buff

vivid vessel
#

That's not a real thing

balmy topaz
#

Doesn’t fix anything

#

Wtf

vivid vessel
#

If I ever see one mf willingly step into a dungeon with fatebound

#

That guy is inting

balmy topaz
#

Why they nerf flurry by another 5%

#

Makes no sense

cinder relic
#

Because they dont want to buff aoe

hasty warren
#

is it 3.5% aura buff or only for fb ?

balmy topaz
#

Also I presume now we don’t cancel Ks

haughty wigeon
#

Okay Zac can you say honestly that you can’t do high keys without fatebound with current tuning rn?

vivid vessel
#

I didn't say that lol

#

What

haughty wigeon
#

Okay then what’s the problem

#

You hate fatebound that’s valid

river spoke
#

It feels like shit to play

#

And is unfun

vivid vessel
#

I can probably do r1 keys still with this tuning idc

haughty wigeon
#

But it’s not strong enough to be used in high keys rn

#

And if you can do the same with trickster

#

Then just play trickster?

vivid vessel
#

Nah the aoe vs st thing with trickster is for raid to me

#

Fatebound won't be played in keys

#

My issue is 2 things

hasty warren
#

prio damage is way more important than aoe

vivid vessel
#

Our st tuning is related to the best st build we have in raid

haughty wigeon
#

So irrelevant rn

vivid vessel
#

So if trickster is so behind In st well it will stay behind

#

And

#

In any encounter

#

Where you will be like

#

Ok but

#

If I play trickster I lose 6% st

haughty wigeon
vivid vessel
#

But at least I don't get balls cancer when adds spawns

#

Or you do the other thing

#

Where you do 0 AOE, and when add spawns you suddenly do tank damage to boss

#

(one other spec that does this shit btw please)

#

Like for assa blizzard understood no?

hasty warren
#

do we still have the bug with adr pulling with the coin drop ?

vivid vessel
#

They keep fatebound dead

#

Good

#

Just stay dead or ?

#

I would rather how it is this season on live

#

Fb is 1% ahead or some shit

#

Good

#

You still get to play it

#

On fights where it's actually good

#

Pure st

haughty wigeon
#

Okay

vivid vessel
#

I don't have to think about all the damage I'm going to lose

haughty wigeon
#

Understandable

vivid vessel
#

But idk they should just have fixed fb a long time ago man

haughty wigeon
#

So your just afraid of they keep buffing fateblund indirectly you have to play it

vivid vessel
#

This whole thing is so bad

hasty warren
#

blizz is just unable to make outlaw good

haughty wigeon
#

Oh ya no arguments here

#

Like

#

Half the hero trees in the game is unplayable garbage

vivid vessel
#

Whyspir barely consider fateboudn btw rem

#

And it sims better every season

haughty wigeon
#

I know

#

It sucks balls

brisk spear
haughty wigeon
#

Herald of the sun

#

Sucks donkey nuts to ret

hasty warren
haughty wigeon
#

But I don’t think the buffs rn to rogue will make fatebound a threat at all

#

In any game mode

#

It’s just to ass

#

And if people like it

#

Then that’s fine too

cinder relic
#

It makes fatebound better in low target cleave encounters, like the 2nd? last boss

haughty wigeon
#

They deserve to have fun with it too

cinder relic
#

where he summons the dragon

#

U probs just play FB On that fight now

haughty wigeon
#

But I don’t think

brisk spear
haughty wigeon
#

Fate bound becomes relevant for keys at all

hasty warren
frail veldt
#

but yeah for keys fatebound would have to vastly outperform in ST to be better in keys as well

#

and its unlikely that will happen again

vivid vessel
frail veldt
#

just inherently

vivid vessel
#

And you will feel like shit for it

frail veldt
#

the BF buff from trickster is so strong

vivid vessel
#

That's all

frail veldt
#

fatebound would have to overcome a 20% fucking buff to BF

#

like

#

thats ridiculous

#

it did that s1

#

cuz trickster was SO bad

haughty wigeon
#

a metric shit ton

vivid vessel
#

Also I'm just gonna say

#

They buffed the other 2 specs

#

Especially sub

#

By more

#

Which is illegall

thorn river
#

Il be fuming is sub gets stronger in m+ aswell

frail veldt
#

it could

#

sub has the kit to be good in m+

vivid vessel
#

It probably already is tho

frail veldt
#

yeah potentially

#

sub just has almost NO players in m+

thorn river
#

Wait whut

frail veldt
#

all of subs population is raiders

#

straight up

vivid vessel
#

Idc about that tho

frail veldt
#

sub was honestly not bad this season

thorn river
#

Time to cry in a corner

haughty wigeon
#

i dont think

vivid vessel
#

I'm. Talking about s3

frail veldt
#

why does that make you cry

vivid vessel
#

Not s2

frail veldt
#

I am too

hasty warren
#

not again a season where sub is taking our bitches in key pls

frail veldt
#

im saying it wasnt even that bad this season

haughty wigeon
#

sub will gain traction unless someone really good plays sub into high key tier

frail veldt
#

and I think its getting better next

frail veldt
wintry solar
#

sl?

#

idr

frail veldt
#

yeah like 8 seasons ago

#

lol

thorn river
#

Cuz i cba to play sub, but if its stronger in m+ and raid not really a choice to start aub tho

frail veldt
#

its always a choice

echo gale
#

it was pretty good DF s1

hasty warren
haughty wigeon
#

ya but it wasnt the meta pick

hasty warren
#

can't remember df

haughty wigeon
#

which matters i guess

frail veldt
#

no one is making you play the other specs

#

only you are

haughty wigeon
#

sl was like the last time sub was meta

#

in keys

thorn river
#

True

frail veldt
#

yeah tbh sub has been way behind in m+ for a long time

#

it deserves a season

thorn river
#

But toppping meter is fun i guess

frail veldt
#

also current sub is pretty fun

haughty wigeon
#

thats a hot take mewo

frail veldt
#

it doesnt play that far off from outlaw

#

its really not

haughty wigeon
#

but also the correct one

#

cause like

frail veldt
#

removing dust made sub 1000000x more fun

thorn river
#

Actually me rn

vivid vessel
#

Well meta

#

Rogue meta

frail veldt
#

meta in m+?

vivid vessel
#

Ye

frail veldt
#

I mean

vivid vessel
#

For rogue

haughty wigeon
#

its the same shit i tell people about vdh

vivid vessel
#

Like it was the spec

#

I don't mean it was meta

frail veldt
#

true

#

yeah actually I remember tha tnow

#

but I guess if all of rogue is bad

#

who cares if youre the "meta" rogue spec

#

namean

vivid vessel
#

Well

#

You probably care even more lol

#

Look at this season

frail veldt
#

I guess not getting invited on the best rogue spec is better than not getting invited on the worst rogue spec?

vivid vessel
#

No one cares which spec is better between assa and outlaw

#

Cause they are both good

frail veldt
#

well yeah theyre both good thats the thing

vivid vessel
#

If all the specs are bad

hasty warren
#

no one will take an ol if sub or assa is way better

vivid vessel
#

You will feel terrible playing the even worse one

random stirrup
#

sub getting buffed by more than OL was certainly a decision

frail veldt
vivid vessel
frail veldt
#

even when rogue is A tier

#

its hard to get groups

#

it doesnt bring any raid buff

#

like this season Id argue assa and outlaw were prob A tier

#

and still hard to get in

hasty warren
#

shroud is cool

frail veldt
#

they design dungeons to make shroud bad

#

straight up lol

vivid vessel
#

That'd irrelevant

frail veldt
#

they put stealth site everywhere

vivid vessel
#

Everything you wanna shroud you can

frail veldt
#

sight*

hasty warren
#

like in sl

frail veldt
#

both shroud and mind soothe have been devalued intentionally by blizz

#

which frankly I think is the correct decision

#

cuz designing routing around stuff like that can have negative impacts on the meta

#

its even worse than already having to design a comp around hero

vivid vessel
#

Wait

echo gale
#

people are meld skipping anyway
they could remove true sight from a bunch of mobs and nothing would change

hasty warren
#

having more route possible is not better ?

wintry solar
vivid vessel
#

Didn't they just annihilate fire

#

Or

hasty warren
vivid vessel
#

While barely touching arcane

#

While arcane was already better anywya

#

I feel like they have no idea

hasty warren
#

it's not like 3rd time in a row fire is good on ptr an get destroyer right before season start ?

vivid vessel
#

Idk

willow portal
#

Did we get nerfed?

vivid vessel
#

It wasn't better than arcane and arcane has been stealthing nerfs for litteraly months

vivid vessel
#

Idk I don't understand mage enough to know how big of a nerf that is

gusty cipher
#

pretty funny to see given how dominant arcane has been

vivid vessel
#

But it seems quite bjg

hasty warren
#

last seaon is was fire meta for 2 week and then ultra berf into 12% arcane buff

vivid vessel
#

Arcane doing the same damage while doing funnel is so much better

gusty cipher
#

Also it’s so much easier to give an ok performance as arcane than fire lmao

vivid vessel
#

They didn't buff warrior

#

They didn't nerf brew

hasty warren
#

does fire still require having a tank playing for you ?

vivid vessel
#

I wonder if brew is going live that way

#

I hope it diesn

#

Does

#

Monksea does my st on some fights

#

My prio

#

It's quite nutty

gusty cipher
hasty warren
#

idk it's the same for arcane

#

for funnel dmg

gusty cipher
#

in terms of having to rely on your tank? Nah

frail veldt
#

thats a lot of specs

gusty cipher
#

Like for me, fire is basically a rogue in cloth armor. I love that shit so much. But it’s so ass and stressful to play without a dedicated tank. And then they keep nerfing it while still holding arcane as the go-to spec feelscryman

vivid vessel
#

Dk nerfed tho

#

Big outlaw buff that one

balmy topaz
#

True

haughty wigeon
hasty warren
#

dk nerd is good for us ?

haughty wigeon
#

brew meta

#

would be fucking halarious

frail veldt
balmy topaz
#

Hunter nerf is better

frail veldt
#

if anything outlaw is super route agnostic

balmy topaz
#

We don't want hunter taking our spot in the phys comp

frail veldt
#

all it cares is "low downtime" and youre fine

balmy topaz
hasty warren
frail veldt
#

even then it kinda sucks but its not the end of the world

#

its worse for assa

#

to not restealth

#

by a lot

#

outlaw just wants to punch something

#

at all times

gusty cipher
# vivid vessel Dk nerfed tho

actually sad for this one, but still excited about the rework. gonna play that as an alt. Frostbane feels so good on ptr

random stirrup
hasty warren
#

ye vanish cd is kinda shirt for us

frail veldt
#

if you think about it our adr uptime isnt remarkably higher in dslice than in pure ST

#

the restealths help but they mostly help to mitigate the downtime between packs

hasty warren
#

idk if I stay ol this season ... the gameplay looks worst than s2

frail veldt
#

being constantly in combat is the best thing you can do for outlaw as long as youre in range of something

frail veldt
hasty warren
#

but still

frail veldt
#

whats getting worse about outlaw

#

just losign our current 4 set?

#

I feel like HO players are gona feel it the most

#

non sleight of hand HO playstyle is suuuuper bland imo

hasty warren
#

idk I should give it z try at least, I haven't played on ptr

obtuse zinc
#

holding KS for a few seconds before an adds spawn is now valuable right ? Thinking about new dungeon's first boss for example

frail veldt
#

dont think so

hasty warren
#

but on the paper it looks weird

frail veldt
#

wasting cdr on KS is always bad

#

so unless its holding for a very short period of time its probably not worth

obtuse zinc
#

ok

cinder relic
#

How on paper does it look weird

frail veldt
#

yeah im kinda missing it, I feel like its objectively better lol

#

double coup is also very nice for adr uptime

hasty warren
frail veldt
#

dont cancel it

#

its a 0.4% gain

hasty warren
#

oh

frail veldt
#

...

#

lol

hasty warren
#

I didn't catch that

frail veldt
#

yeah its not very relevant

#

sorry 0.2% now

#

since the buff to KS

hasty warren
#

when was this

frail veldt
#

today

hasty warren
#

ok i'm blind so

frail veldt
#

it was only 0.4% before today though

#

but yeah the cancelling is pretty ignorable

vivid vessel
#

Ok tbh

frail veldt
#

the only downsides of next season are if you really hate the downtime of new KS

vivid vessel
#

It feels way better to cancel

#

Than not

frail veldt
#

at max cps?

vivid vessel
#

Ye

frail veldt
#

sure

#

its nice that its effectively optional

vivid vessel
#

It's cool gameplay

frail veldt
#

I personally dont like cancelling as gameplay

vivid vessel
#

Why

frail veldt
#

it feels like the spell was designed wrong if thats ever the case

#

its a cooldown

#

and youre cancelling it?

vivid vessel
#

You look at the cp going up

frail veldt
#

to do more damage?

vivid vessel
#

It it stops going up

#

You feel like nothing is happening

haughty wigeon
frail veldt
#

sure it just feels awkward

#

to me

vivid vessel
#

So if you don't cancel it feels yucky

haughty wigeon
#

canceling is just degen gameplay

hasty warren
#

idk why they don't rework it one more time

frail veldt
#

cancel mechanics always have felt like the spec is broken

grim spear
#

i like that canceling QTE

#

its cool

frail veldt
haughty wigeon
#

like the fact its optional and it still always was pre buff btw

#

is okay

frail veldt
#

if it was shorter I dont think youd mind not cancelling

haughty wigeon
#

im not gonna cancel it

frail veldt
#

I prob will cuz the condition is clear and simple

#

"max cp->cancel"

#

but its pretty irrelevant

hasty warren
#

it's 90sec cd now ?

frail veldt
#

no

#

2.4 min I think?

#

as trickster

#

so whatever 2/5 of 60s is

#

24s

#

2 min and 24s

hasty warren
#

humm sonwith rb it's like every minutes ?

vivid vessel
#

It's because the feedback stops when you get to max cp

#

It should do the remaining damage when you get to max

vivid vessel
#

It feels so weird not canceling lol

haughty wigeon
#

i have

#

i just find the idea of canceling even weirder

#

do i think it needs to be improved? ya totally everything can be improved

#

shorter duration would def help

#

actual haste scaling would kill multiple birds in one stone

#

make it feel like eyebeam

hasty warren
#

I still don't get why we have a channeling ability as outlaw where we have almost only instants

next wedge
#

it's better than current ks

hasty warren
next wedge
#

i agree with mewo tho cancelling feels weird and clunky to me

#

off vibes

next wedge
#

idk i havent tried it

#

i also disagree with this cause you cant spell queue

#

out of ks

frail veldt
#

I would argue current KS is probably the worst ability in the game

vivid vessel
#

a channel in general i mean

frail veldt
#

in terms of how awful it feels to use

fathom bramble
#

I think it might be in the running for worst ability ever

#

competing only with othere veeersions of KS

frail veldt
#

its super disorienting to most players, it is fundamentlaly incompatible with many mechanics in the game, and it barely even feels rewarding to use "correctly"

#

I am still fucking blown away they made it the core ability to one of our hero trees without addressing the ability first

that blizz fixes it this expansion

its a known bug for idk how long now...

willow portal
mighty pivot
#

if you want to nitpick this then it's not 3s either, it's between 2.4s (6 CP) and 4s (10 CP) after 25% haste Shrugeg I agree with the sentiment of not being hyperbolic but let's not do it the opposite way

cinder relic
#

I agree

mighty pivot
#

and I'm also aware most KS will not be supercharged, it still feels bad when you end up channelling for too long sometimes though

#

I wish they chose to let the ticks be progressively faster the more CPs you spent

hasty warren
#

ok 150 ms spell queue is way better

mighty pivot
#

so a 2 CP KS would be 2x0.5s (pre-haste), but maybe at 6 CP it would be 2x0.5, 2x0.4, 2x0.3 etc

cinder relic
#

I agree with everything you guys feel about killing spree

#

In this context

vivid vessel
#

live ks is 4.5

#

ptr is 5

mighty pivot
#

live KS is 4s

vivid vessel
#

ok well you get me

mighty pivot
#

ye just saying

vivid vessel
#

i dont remember live base duration

mighty pivot
#

they had no reason to extend the duration everyone but the devs agree on that

rotund zodiac
#

I came back from a hiatus, what’s this canceling KS thing?

dim parrot
#

Zac would fazed being a buff instead of debuff help

#

I feel like 3 min cd ks gonna suck for spreading fazed

balmy topaz
#

Because currently we struggle to swap targets atm

dim parrot
#

Yeah lol

balmy topaz
#

But still doesn’t sort duration issue on Ks

dim parrot
#

I’m more concerned about ks interaction with trickster

#

Being 3 min

vivid vessel
#

tjhat shit is ass

#

you can never target swap

#

if your target dies

#

and you have coup

#

its gg

#

might aswell kill yourself

dim parrot

Ok I switch to ho

Tuning looks OK

does KS just do a lot of damage now or what

cinder relic

Ya

#

One day

keen belfry
#

I feel like 8% to fatebound is quite large for raid

torpid fiber
#

only on fights where Fatebound damage profile isn't int though unless it's enough to overcome that, right?

#

but yeah 8% is a lot

keen belfry
#

Pure ST we will for sure play FB obvi

torpid fiber
#

yeyeye

keen belfry
#

I’m not sure about random aoe fights

#

Or council fights

willow portal
#

!commonerrors

ornate heathBOT
torpid fiber
#

council fights feel like it's probablllly fine to have the cleave bc all damage is valuable, unless trickster just sims better on that target count

keen belfry
#

I’d assume that trickster is always better at 3 target

mighty pivot
#

Look at that tail though

normal forge
#

isnt ret pala already buffed enuff?

mighty pivot
#

aoe buff mostly

civic zephyr
torpid fiber
#

ret paladin being good probably earns blizzard more money than they'd lose if they removed outlaw from the game, so i think about ret paladin buffs as just a way to help support our spec existing 🙂

torpid fiber
#

like yeah it's annoying bc it's easy and good, but i don't have it in my heart to hate most ret players. People are allowed to grow old.

normal forge
#

i feel conflicted to go play ret, i am old, lol. but my guild core already has 4 ppl playing pala

wintry solar
torpid fiber
#

play what you enjoy unless you think there'd be actual guild prog issues with you playing ret imo

mighty pivot

Fuck that guy

that's why you are the second 🐐 (mafic is the true one sorry)

mighty pivot
#

she has a resting bitch face though it's kinda funny. As if she spends all her day reading ravenholdt

willow portal
#

does the luxthos wa follow the rotation rules for rtb for example?

torpid fiber
#

you can easily change the lua code to make it follow the RTB rules

normal forge
torpid fiber
#

right click on their name and then click "ignore"

normal forge
willow portal
torpid fiber
#

it's in the custom code for the actions iirc

mighty pivot
#

check On Init

torpid fiber
#

god have they remade it again or something

#

there's the checkDice function somewhere

#

and you can edit that

vivid vessel
willow portal
torpid fiber
#

yeah

random stirrup
willow portal
torpid fiber
#

it has always (at least since late shadowlands but i think also in bfa) had some fairly simple logic to make RtB light up when conditions are met

willow portal
#

and i am using that glow to know when i should roll

random stirrup
torpid fiber
#

I do a similar thing; luxthos RtB tracking is ime actually pretty great

carmine geode
#

Any tip on Mug'zee mythic with KS?

willow portal
torpid fiber
#

i use luxthos WAs but fiddle with them quite a bit to get my preferred WA setup

#

but the actual RTB buff duration display part of luxthos WAs i really like tbh

willow portal
#

i dont understand lua enough to fix this trigger interaction

torpid fiber
#

are you playing HO or KIR

#

i don't know if it's possible to make Luxthos WAs fully support the KIR logic for RtB; you just have to track that yourself if you use them

willow portal
#

ho

#

or maybe i just swap to another rogue wa

#

whats a great one for beginners, with glows and stuff?

torpid fiber
#

with HO (assuming supercharger) you can just set elseif count >= 2 to elseif count >=5, and it'll work as long as you have "keep <buff>" turned off for all the buffs
it won't adapt if you swap build though

#

(I think at least. I don't remember what exception1 is here, you might have to change that?)

willow portal
torpid fiber
#

wait you can just click the second exception

#

no need to change anything

#

literally already done for you lmao

willow portal
torpid fiber
#

it is fine != do so, otherwise it would say that
i don't know what the exact numbers there are, but that usually indicates that it's within a small range

#

i.e. not a dps loss or gain

mighty pivot
#

at 4 buffs it's dps neutral to roll or not yes

torpid fiber
#

cool yeah

willow portal
#

ok will try with that

torpid fiber
#

so you can just click the "reroll less than 5" exception

#

and it should work

keen belfry
#

Happy we do more dmg
But now we must wait for actual class changes .5 patch surely

hidden lynx
#

How are we looking for M+ next season with all the changes

I’m over our RTB stuff I want blizzard to cook up some new RTB thing
Fatebound tree
Secondary stats(idk if I really even care I’m just complaining)
SS proc changes

strong halo
#

@vivid vessel stream when??

keen belfry
#

Jsut make it channel faster, flurry off main target (still apply aoe fazed), and something with combo points

#

Also make fazed a buff on the player not a debuff on target maybe idk

tropic zephyr
#

Tbf this spell should have never been a part of our tree and should have been removed with mfd and db

keen belfry
#

Or just make coup not require fazed wtf why is that a thing

tropic zephyr
#

I blame pvpers

#

They made this shit stay

keen belfry
#

Make coup just give us stacks

hollow oracle
#

should using killing spree in multi target be a priority (blade flurry -> killing spree) over adren -> vanish -> between the eyes

wintry solar
pearl topaz
#

in a choice between "the new KS takes long and i have to wait" and "ks causes death" ill take the former every time

wintry solar
#

Blizz is just bad at this stuff

#

They had all the time in the world to make it a pvp talent but didnt

#

Which they have done in the past

#

And vice versa too btw

Boarding Party to the spec tree in Midnight??

civic zephyr
#

Smart people, how much buffy are these buffs with the trickster aoe nerfs?

daring oxide
#

For fatebound ST

#

6% buff for ST

#

That includes aura buff then ks buff and reshi buff

willow portal
#

unreal that i didnt have that

wintry solar
#

You get that by default as undead

#

B)

#

Undead has the best racials

#

Because

#

They're not strong in pve

#

And they're cool thematically

Yuh

rare gulch
#

most people saying outlaw is the best meele specc so far - why this discord says outlaw isnt good atm?

mighty pivot
#

most people? where?

rare gulch
#

saw it from guys like peettko too just asking here

cold tide
#

Petko hates outlaw so thats interesting

#

Even if it was pumping he was putting spec in b tier like forever xd

digital onyx
#

cause petko takes difficulty into account

#

he always says outlaw can perform atleast a tier higher if YOU can

cold tide
#

Seems fair

digital onyx
#

he would even argue that outlaw can be close to S Tier if you are a Beast

#

but considering its hard, he´d rather put it into comp dependent

cold tide
#

Keyword: if

digital onyx
#

and i think that is fair

#

otherwise you will bait fotm andys into oblivion

cold tide
#

I like to outperform fotms

#

So its fine for me xd

digital onyx
#

its not hard to outperform fotm arcane andys

rare gulch
#

my last time on outlaw was in sl s3/4 - i remember it was a good time - but idk how it is atm

wintry solar
#

It's good

#

Not great but good

digital onyx
#

its harder to outperform fotm unholy andies who just proc bloodbeast early

#

difficulty does exist for 99% of the playerbase

daring oxide
#

KIR supremacy

vital wave
daring oxide
# vital wave can you explain why ?

Because KIR is the best talent for outlaw, it’s very fun and we get to have higher uptime on more buffs and this feeds into having more cdr as TB uptime is natty higher and we can use deft manny in aoe for free cp and more finishers and dps and therefore KIR is the supreme outlaw talent thank you for listening

gaunt phoenix
#

the ho build relies on current tier set

daring oxide
#

Or that

wintry solar
#

I think he means why it's better

#

Yeah lol

daring oxide
#

But I was explaining why it’s better (more fun)

#

I think that is relevant too

vital wave
#

are we talking ST or M+ ? because on logs I see only HO in ST

daring oxide
#

Are we talking this tier or next tier

mighty pivot
#

what is fun is subjective

daring oxide
mighty pivot
#

numbers aren't

mighty pivot
daring oxide
#

Good

vital wave
daring oxide
#

Play HO now

wintry solar
daring oxide
#

HO SC isn’t bad

#

I enjoyed it a bit too

#

But KIR stil feels best to me

wintry solar
#

Keep on rollin rollin rollin rollin

daring oxide
#

But HO SC feels fine especially when we play for ST

gaunt phoenix
#

on ptr the ho build is behind everywhere, though on st it is not horrifically behind

If someone played ho during raid testing they either weren't looking at this server or didn't care

vital wave
#

but with the recent change, sub might be far beyond from outlaw ? even fatebound ?

keen belfry
#

How much does our RTB buff uptime drop next tier solo

#

I haven’t a clue the % time gained from current tier

gaunt phoenix
#

sub is likely favored on amp bosses sure

mighty pivot
wintry solar
#

I'm gonna miss it

winged raft
gaunt phoenix
#

on st it was 4% or so

but in aoe, where deft mauneuvers is used, ho starts to be like 10% behind

wintry solar
#

What if ho used deft like kir?

#

I know it doesn't need the cp gen

gaunt phoenix
#

ho never liked deft that much cause it takes away from ambush procs

winged raft
#

bet im gonna still play HO because the ambush sound is really nice, plus i play a ton of pvp and you never use kir there

plucky chasm
#

Is sub the best choise for m+ (till now) on ptr ?

#

hollow oracle
#

hey i havent played since dragonflight should i be using blade flurry on cd in multi target.. and is it worth pressing in single target?

willow portal
#

should i learn kir?

#

i have only played ho so far

pliant wind
#

overall kir is better

magic shuttle
#

No need to press it on st, it's good to press in aoe if you run deft manouvers talent

hollow oracle
#

if not then no?

pliant wind
#

nope

#

if you dont have deft, u dont press bf

hollow oracle
#

ok

#

thanks 🙂

pliant wind
#

np

willow portal
#

should i keep a button for cold blood

torpid fiber
#

no

#

iirc last time we played it you could just macro it into everything

#

but we haven't played it in a while and it's unlikely we will anytime soon bc the button makes no sense for outlaw

pliant wind
#

get it for KS mega damage Pog

limpid onyx
#

It doesnt work for all of a KS right?

pliant wind
#

yes it works

#

why it shouldnt?

#

but as outlaw u have like perma 50-60% crit with all abilities

#

well less perma now

#

as u get less buffs in s3

#

:p

#

72% crit overall

#

you dont need cold blood

rapid grail

Trickster
Outlaw
Nimble Flurry bonus to Blade Flurry damage reduced to 20% (was 25%).

is this overall buff or nerf?

#

for m+

willow portal
rapid grail
#

oh okkk

4% aoe 8% st i think

#

this is trickster BF with the upcoming 5% NF nerf (disclaimer: still overall a buff if you include all other changes)

what kind of overall dps should i expect in a 12 darkflame key?

#

at 680

inner meadow
#

on ptr with my 2nd coup. do i get cp or just send it right after the 1st one

gaunt phoenix
#

you get cps, but if you are going to press sinister strike, you send it early instead

pliant wind
#

4-5M

#

i had a try in may with 679 and +12

#

so i guess is like that

willow portal
#

hm

gaunt phoenix
#

yeah that sounds normal

willow portal
#

i am looking at 3mio with ho trickster build

hybrid mesa
daring oxide
#

When does @proven ocean come back?

#

i wonder about his takes on these buffs

hybrid mesa
#

Darkflame has also been a weird dungeon for me, overall DPS fluctuates a lot for some reason compared to others

#

But at this point 3m overall is at least decent

vivid vessel
#

And the op specs got probably around 20% nerf aswell

daring oxide
#

ya

vivid vessel
#

Hunter I think got like 30 or something

#

So

#

You know

daring oxide
#

with our current gear

vivid vessel
#

What's happening next week

#

new patch?

#

11.2

vivid vessel
#

Ah you mean with just the changes

daring oxide
#

ye

vivid vessel
#

Ye idk

red zinc
#

should be a small increase now

daring oxide
#

yeah

red zinc
#

wasnt all that great before without tier

daring oxide
#

well i thought it'd be like a 20% increase

#

with current gear

red zinc
#

naw

daring oxide
#

684 ilvl stuffs

#

hmm

#

how much was the KS buff in total

#

adding them all together

#

since it was changed to 3mins from 1 30

red zinc
#

If i had to hazard a guess itd be like

#

140% increase

daring oxide
#

jesus

#

thats cool

red zinc
#

Did some napkin math before this and it was a bit more than 100

daring oxide
mighty pivot
#

KS went from 187,5% scaling to 450,8%

daring oxide
mighty pivot
#

but that is just its damage, the ticks are slower

daring oxide
#

honestly thats healthy imo

#

it needs to feel like a big BAM BAM BAM button

#

it still has its flaws though

#

but better than last tier...

red zinc
vivid vessel
#

I think it's aid that they think they need to buff it enough for that

#

Without fixing the issues

#

But whatever

vital wave
#

@zac due to the recent buff of outlaw fatebound & KS, will you raid as sub or try FB ?

slate forge
#

Let’s go

What mix/maxes Fatebound has ? I forgot

#

Min*

mighty pivot
#

what about trickster?

gaunt phoenix
#

it has different vanish rules, you try to vanish if ruthless precision or supercharger is active

keen belfry
#

Oh so we still cancelling Ks?

mighty pivot
#

neutral is good enough

daring oxide
#

ok @gaunt phoenix update pin buddy

#

but when do we cancel

gaunt phoenix
#

yes, like trickster delays vanish if killing spree is up soon

fatebound delays vanish until RP/SC
