That crit trinket off 2nd boss

#

Where are trinket sims solo

covert heart
#

Not 2 big of a gap atleast

balmy topaz
gaunt phoenix
#

Idk

balmy topaz
#

Prism will be better for dmg amp bosses then

long barn
#

Can anyone explain why Trickster feels clumsy, clunky, crowded, I dunno. Any of those words now

quaint mauve
#

like i don’t like the 2 coup thing

royal ermine
#

because 1fth feels like giga ass when you don't have bs

balmy topaz
#

Is it like with the rotation you find there’s a mixture of spells to press but you’re struggling to know which one is classed as the correct one? Or struggling to build in some scenarios

royal ermine
#

also antenna bis thats wack

cinder relic
royal ermine
#

trinket feels like it either procs a stupid amount at once or never

cinder relic
#

Baby's first proc trinket

balmy topaz
cinder relic
#

Not really

balmy topaz
#

Yea neither

cinder relic
#

I prefer fatebound to trickster for outlaw

#

Since fatebound actively does nothing

#

It leaves more room for the spec to be a spec

#

and not like, tracking procs within procs for windows and blah blah blah

balmy topaz
#

Coup is just strange idk

vivid vessel
#

its ub for me

quaint mauve
balmy topaz
#

Double couping just strange

vivid vessel
#

being forced to ss

#

but you dont wanna sss

#

you are like

cinder relic
vivid vessel
#

cucking yourself

#

perma

balmy topaz
#

Yeah I think that’s my problem tbh

vivid vessel
#

to press ss

#

when you shouldnt

cinder relic
#

My hope is that fatebounds capstone gets reworked from just providing flat agi, to what the 4 set does

#

Or both idrc

quaint mauve
#

ima just be playing it in all content

vivid vessel
#

my hope is that they make fatebound a nroaml hero talent

#

im all for the

#

better in st

#

better in aoe thing

#

but this is silly

balmy topaz
#

I won’t ever play FB in the current iteration

vivid vessel
#

you shouldnt lose st in aoe

#

and you shouldnt have legit negative aoe scaling

balmy topaz
#

Ye

cinder relic
#

I get what they were going for making these aoe procs, have some value in ST

#

but it ends up feeling worse

#

Its the same way that in original wow there was a system where the more you played, the less EXP you got, which later got reworked into the rested EXP system

#

The psychology of "more targets in range means less ST damage" doesn't feel good

vivid vessel
#

ye

#

im fine with haviung stuffs that scale worse in aoe

#

but i shouldnt lose st in aoe

#

and fatebound is also silly in the aoe scaling where its just so bad

#

but ye

vast frost
vivid vessel
#

same thing with ks

#

rework

#

why

vast frost
#

was complaining from sin perspective but mostly just how on paper fatebound is just kinda evil

#

deathstalker has mechanical issues, but fatebound talents have just feelsbad design

vivid vessel
#

yepo

vast frost
#

i have played basically zero outlaw in tww, but outside of KS memes does trickster have any pain points?

#

other than it proccing in subterfuge or w/e

cinder relic
#

Depends how you define pain points

#

It adds layers of complexity which if you like, is cool

keen belfry
#

tricksters a sick tree, it just requires you to press SS at times you otherwie wouldnt

#

good tree tho

#

fatebound is the worst hero tree of all the specs ive played throughout TWW so far

#

by a fair bit

cinder relic
#

I really hate slayer for warrior

keen belfry
cinder relic
#

Both fury and arms

keen belfry
#

its an afk hero tree that you only interact with in annoying ways

cinder relic
#

Sounds like slayer

vast frost
#

if rogue was a more popualr spec they would have probably turned deathmark into a gcd that does basically zero damage on a 10s cd

keen belfry
#

only thing i know about fury is they do 65% of outlaw dps in they keys ive been in them with

quaint mauve
vivid vessel
# vast frost i have played basically zero outlaw in tww, but outside of KS memes does trickst...
  • ub procs are delayed (up to 1s btw)
  • the whole ub minigame is hidden which is shit
  • you are forced to press sinister strike blind and a lot of times, which we dont want, like i have ps procs bf ready and shit and this stupid talent will force me to press ss
  • escalating blades doesnt go above 4, so when you are at coup, you cant press ss anymore otherwise you overcap
  • killing spree generate full cp now, but it also gives you 2 up, so you are at max cp and have to spend 2 ub with ss, which is super awkard since you have to finish first, slow down the whole cycle so you end up having to do a bunch of finishers before being able to do nroaml stuffs sometimes its weird af
  • coup require fazed to be on the target, except fazed is basically a st only debuff that can fall off + if you target swap/your target die, with coup ready you are just stcuk not being able to press coup its cringe
keen belfry
#

why does coup require fazed

#

is that some "skill expression"

vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Sin - Deathstalker is basically perfect imo. Fatebound auto procing capstone with the tier set makes the hero talent feel way better overall. It also giving sin access to 1:30 CDs is cool
Outlaw - I personally dislike Trickster but I don't hate it objectively. Similar vibe to sin Fatebound. Auto procing the tier set is so good but the losing ST with multi target is bad
Sub - Deathstalker doesn't really work for Sub well, despite it being way easier to proc than sin in target swap situations. Trickster sub is literal perfection

vivid vessel
#

ye idk

vital wave
keen belfry
#

i worded poorly

vivid vessel
#

its so you have interactions between the nodes

keen belfry
#

i know why its more of a

vivid vessel
#

but it jkust makes it bad

keen belfry
#

why do they design it that way

#

my guess is skill expression idk

vast frost
keen belfry
#

but like, is that skill expression

vivid vessel
#

if that was a new spell instead of reworking the worse spell in the game

#

it would be 9/11

#

its so cooked

keen belfry
#

ye ks is really really bad

vivid vessel
#

super long channel

#

cant kick cant cc during it

#

rng targeting

vast frost
#

tbh if i had to do work on rogue as the like, spriest class designer, because it was my turn to look at it

glass mortar
#

its for skill expression, and by skill expression we mean its to punish u if the game ever forces u to swap targets

vivid vessel
#

interact weirdly with trickster (its trickster whole driver btw)

vast frost
#

i'd have just made KS fart its damage out in a starfall like buff

#

and called it a day

glass mortar
#

we used to basically not care at all cause kspree would keep aoe fazed applied to the pack like 80% of the time anyway

keen belfry
#

i think just make KS flurry and shorter channel and id be very ok

vast frost
glass mortar
#

ks does flurry

vivid vessel
#

idk

vast frost
#

could easily just be ur target + things around it

vivid vessel
#

so there isnt that issue

#

or just be like ww thing

#

where its full damage ro your target and then aoe the rest idk

#

or just a normal spell

#

if they dont wanna bother man

#

idk

fallow fractal
#

ok cause no one answered how is outlaw compared to sub/assa season 3

frail veldt
vivid vessel
#

he doesnt do keys where its relevant

frail veldt
#

Ah

vivid vessel
#

he said it before

keen belfry
frail veldt
#

Yeah cuz that's kind of a big deal

vivid vessel
#

no one knows in raid

#

but historically

#

i wouldnt bet on outlaw in raid

fallow fractal
vivid vessel
#

lets say

vast frost
#

i do enjoy the tier fatebound interaction of being able to force edge cases in burst, but after that its pretty w/e

cinder relic
#

I have 0 issue with deathstalker in keys that I do

#

I don't push keys I do my weekly 12s

#

I apply death mark to a target, i hit it, it dies, i go next

frail veldt
#

But wouldn't it be better if it didn't have that restriction?

cinder relic
#

Yeah but then it wouldnt be cool

vivid vessel
#

what

#

can legit just be a buff

#

what does it change

cinder relic
#

Deathstalker mark?

#

the entire theme of the hero talent?

frail veldt
#

I think leaving combat should give you a buff such that your next mutilate applies the mark

cinder relic
#

Its suppose to be you hit 1 target, and then you have singular focus which turns to funnel

#

Thats literally the entire point of the hero talent

frail veldt
#

I think that would be objectively better than the ambush system

cinder relic
#

If it was a buff, it wouldnt be that anymore

frail veldt
#

It can be a debuff still

#

But you shouldn't have the chance of getting fucked outside of your control

#

Like if an AOE breaks you from stealth before you ambush

vast frost
#

as i said before, could just get the lazy fix and make it a unique gcd to apply it

stiff vector
#

I like how the fb tier set is basically just a bandaid fix for them failing to fix fatebounds capstone the entire xpac and it just being poorly designed/taking too long to proc sometimes as well KEKW

vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

The only actual issue I have with deathstalker atm is when you die when you have darkest night, when a target "dies" but doesnt die, and then when it fully bugs out, which in my experience, almost never happens

keen belfry
#

midnight fixes

cinder relic
vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

And I can't articulate that to u

royal ermine
keen belfry
#

man

#

fatebound

cinder relic
#

I legit never noticed this happening

keen belfry
#

actuially made me stop playing outlaw in s1

vivid vessel
#

i mean good for you but its 100% reproducible

#

or at least was in s1

#

and im not aware of it being fixed

frail veldt
#

Yeah even if it feels infrequent if you can solve it without negative side effects then shouldn't you?

vivid vessel
#

idk

vast frost
#

very avoidable but the IPA adds would often steal my mark if I accidently gave it to them

cinder relic
#

Not always garf

vivid vessel
#

im of the opinion that having bad gameplay implications

#

is never worth

#

the lore

#

of the thing

glass mortar
#

guy has articulated several times it would lose flavor and he puts value in the flavor of it tying you to a target

vivid vessel
#

i know you think the them is cool and shit

cinder relic
#

Every single debuff in this game would be made "better" and "remove negative side effects" by making it a buff

stiff vector
frail veldt
#

Well I'm not even arguing for it not being a debuff

#

I just want to be able to apply it if it bugs out or I don't get my ambush off

#

I don't see a good argument for not fixing that

cinder relic
#

I think if shadowstrike can apply DSM then blindside procs should be able to apply DSM

vivid vessel
#

ddue

#

garotte should apply it

#

thats it

#

idk why that isnt a thing

frail veldt
#

That'd be fine with me though being forced to take a talent that isn't mainline to fix a bug isn't really a good solution

#

Yeah garrote should that'd be smarter

cinder relic
#

I think a hero talent forcing you to take talents is chill and normal

frail veldt
#

But you are forced to take it to fix a bug

#

Lol

#

That's not normal

#

Or chill

#

It's like if we had to talent into cold blood to fix the coin over stacking past 7 and not getting the fatebound buff

#

That would not be normal

#

Or chill

cinder relic
#

Ur acting as though blindside is a bad sin talent

#

Most builds take blindside

#

Even full aoe bleed build takes blindside rn

stiff vector
#

ye idk I never liked the fact you had to proc it with ambush from stealth for assa, not only is it disruptive to what sin usually wants to do from stealth but it obviously has serious conflicts design wise when it comes to losing your mark(whether it be due to something like a boss phasing or an intermission or w/e) and target swapping.

frail veldt
#

Yeah I mean the negatives are less prevalent if the talent is luckily in the meta builds but that's not always the case

cinder relic
#

Managing your mark is part of the skill of the hero talent in raid :)

frail veldt
#

I'm talking about m+

stiff vector
#

raid it usually isnt a problem

frail veldt
#

Agreed

keen belfry
#

skill expressions can be cringe and stupid, we were literally talking about coup + fazed interaction

cinder relic
#

We are talking about deathstalker rn

frail veldt
#

I think playing around a bug isn't the kind of skill expression most people enjoy

keen belfry
#

oh i though you were tlaking about fatebounds deathstalkers mark my bad

frail veldt
#

I did not like when we had to play around subterfuge bugs

cinder relic
#

I mean idk

#

I'm sure its repeatable

#

But I'm just speaking from my experience doing keys to fill vaults

#

Just 10-12s

#

I had very few issues with DSM

frail veldt
#

Yeah I think when the stakes are higher and the mark bugs

#

And it impacts a key strongly

cinder relic
#

Pushing keys is noob content garf_sit

frail veldt
#

Lol

cinder relic
#

designing the game around push keys garf_sit

royal ermine
#

guy are you still playing poe league

frail veldt
#

I'm just asking for non bugged talents

vivid vessel
#

guy love having shit takes

cinder relic
#

Not anymore. I need to play like, another few hours to do the last like 3 challenges

frail veldt
#

Feel like it's a low bar

#

Tbh

wintry solar
#

Pve is noob content. Don't step in bad and do your rotation. Ggez

vivid vessel
#

dude will defend poop

vast frost
#

I get the skill expression argument about target swapping with it, but darkest night is a pretty binary effect

frail veldt
#

I mean again if im being optimistic I'm sure the devs are understaffed and poorly managed

stiff vector
#

Guys takes are never wrong and always good clueless

keen belfry
finite arch
#

!ambush

ornate heathBOT
#

It is possible to use a macro to cast Ambush during Stealth/Audacity and Sinister Strike otherwise, instead of using the stealth bar:
/cast [known: Hidden Opportunity, bonusbar:1] Ambush ; Sinister Strike
*This is most useful to swap between HO and KIR builds without changing keybinds.
Stance swap delay is, for now, not an issue since we don't want to cast vanish into ambush anymore.

cinder relic
royal ermine
#

guess I'll just throw it in the thread then, I was just giving away currency from like first few weeks so it's only 30d and a few pieces to pawn off cuz I have to uninstall the game for space

wintry solar
#

It's also possible that changes need to go through a meeting and it's really a beaurocratic mess to make any changes.

royal ermine
#

figured I'd ask

frail veldt
#

But if I'm being a pessimist the devs are embarrassing excuses for "programmers" who hopefully never venture out of video games cuz their shoddy work is probably only passable here

cinder relic
#

I'm not defending anything specifically, all I'm saying is in my experience doing my noob keys for filling my fault, I rarely ran into issues related to DSM tweaking out

cinder relic
vast frost
#

I get that but judgement is to just leave ur hero taletn disabled for a bit

dawn talon
#

you'd vomit reading it

#

i think the gamer soyrage protects us from the worst of it

frail veldt
keen belfry
#

im not very good at writing code so i dont mind it as much as our senior people

cinder relic
frail veldt
#

I think that's overly dismissive

cinder relic
#

Maybe

#

I think ppl are very dramatic

vast frost
#

obviously the real solution is to just make pressing SnD apply the mark to whatever ur targeting

frail veldt
vast frost
#

cut to the chase is so stupid

frail veldt
keen belfry
#

cut to the chase is goated no?

wintry solar
#

I blame crackshot

blissful zinc
#

should i replace the weapons with 681 crafted? and how are the stats

frail veldt
#

Gotta give the doomers the benefit of the doubt sometimes

cinder relic
gaunt phoenix
frail veldt
#

There's a middle ground haha we're talking about a bugged hero talents

cinder relic
#

I always tend to target zac with comments like this, but I remember when Outlaw got the BF fixed and he told me straight up "Outlaw is still bottom 10 specs in the game for keys"

frail veldt
#

Not making outlaw SSS tier every season

vast frost
cinder relic
#

Ppl are silly gooses sometimes

frail veldt
#

Yeah I just think we should advocate for the bugs being fixed

#

I don't think that's asking too much

finite arch
#

any mog enjoyers?

frail veldt
#

Like asking the devs to make every gameplay change we think we want is silly

wintry solar
#

No. I don't mog anything ever

keen belfry
#

ill live with bugs if it means they fix KS and fatebound, thank you

keen belfry
frail veldt
#

But wanting the cornerstone of your hero tree to function correctly is pretty reasonable

blissful zinc
stiff vector
cinder relic
#

again imo a bug that happens in 1-3% of instances I don't think is that big of a deal, because I've played a lot of specs in this game, and a lot of them have some stupid dogshit bug in them

dawn talon
#

managing mark is skill expressive, yes, but it's just not fun when you do it correctly bc you aren't really thinking about it

cinder relic
#

that's just how wow is, sadly

dawn talon
#

and when it bugs it's the most frustrating shit ever

cinder relic
#

And I mean idk, most live service games are like this, they are a bit buggy, a bit shitty

dawn talon
#

so people ofc are prone to negativity bias

gaunt phoenix
cinder relic
#

It'd be great if everything worked 100% of the time but like, its just sort of the cost of the doing business

Is there a big dps diff in raid between KIR FTB and trick HO?

finite arch
#

I prefer KIR tbh

gaunt phoenix
#

ring is good

keen belfry
blissful zinc
#

i gave 20k gold for it

cinder relic
#

Like idk, PoE 1 and 2 are amazing live service games, both are buggy and shit

cinder relic
#

Like ofc shooters have this less often like overwatch or marvel rivals, but games with systems and mechanics tend to just sorta be like this

finite arch
#

I prefer KIr but still run HO for raid

gaunt phoenix
#

currently fatebound is only a thing on sprocket, HO trickster vs KIR trickster are pretty similar

we have aura buffs coming

gaunt phoenix

No but our killing spree does 140% more dmg

Which I mean, if u wanna define performance

cinder relic
frail veldt

I feel like rivals was pretty solid yeah

dawn talon

any shooter not named counterstrikie is a bad game

I guess it just falls on how I define the terms

dawn talon
#

black widow is unironically not that bad tuning wise but the hitreg is so dogshit she was almost unplayable on launch

royal ermine

you dont like hawkeye shooting arrows with hitboxes the size of school busses?

dawn talon

I wouldnt count shit hitreg as buggy, just like, how the game works lol

LMFAO

The hit boxes are so forgiving in rivals though

Compared to ow

I ltierally only played dr strange in that game so I never noticed any issues garf

Lololol

and then i realised that it's actually unplayable LMFAO

keen belfry

blissful zinc
#

Should i drop haste below 20% to get more crit

frail veldt
#

Sim yourself

keen belfry
dawn talon
frail veldt
#

!haste

ornate heathBOT
#

A properly geared Outlaw's stat volume will look like Vers > Haste* > Crit > Mastery.

*But Haste has a **requirement ** because adr Adrenaline Rush scales your GCD based on haste, up to 25%.

The kir_charger KIR build wants ~19% haste from rating, so it becomes 25% after talents_alacrity Alacrity. 18% or 20% is close enough and not a problem. Don't play KIR with lower than 18% haste.

The ho_charger HO build gets takem Take 'em by Surprise, so its haste requirement is technically ~9%., but it continues to want haste just for energy. You will likely optimize towards 14-18% haste, not a strict number, just sim.

You need to use raidbots Raidbots Top Gear to determine what haste pieces to use. You can also get ~4.2% haste from a flask. This can be equal or better than Vers flask if you need it for either build.

by much higher i mean like 20%-30%

Hi some quick questions as a new player: ideally I want to KS immediately after the subterfuge window even though trickster builds want to cast KS as a much as possible and you would lose a lot of potential CDR in the subterfuge window

limpid onyx
#

Takes too much time, so you dont get to use the subterfuge window when busy in KS

#

So better to do KS after

dim parrot
cinder relic
#

Something to keep in mind that pure st no adds, st, and st with good cleave are extremely different

blissful zinc
#

is this how it usually looks like

gaunt phoenix
#

but sometimes you still must vanish regardless of this rule to keep AR active

hybrid pecan
#

I was learning using HO because it seems easier, but should I just start learning KIR now for next tier?

gaunt phoenix
#

next tier is ideally KIR, HO is a bit behind, like 4-10% depending on targets

ripe ibex
cinder relic
#

The main quirk of kir is also going away so idk

#

The whole difficulty thing is null imo

dim parrot
keen belfry
cinder relic
#

Just learn kir. Play it, it's always better

gaunt phoenix
gaunt phoenix
#

and ofc having to track and press kir

hybrid pecan
#

I feel like I would much rather prioritize st and prio damage especially considering outlaw is hardcapped anyways, but how much behind is fatebound in AOE?

gaunt phoenix
#

the problem is that fatebound actively loses priority damage in aoe content

#

its not like you continue to the same st

Also I'm not really liking the luxthos WA, do you guys have any WA recommendations?

and the other one that makes dispatch spread aoe instead of do st

hybrid pecan
#

Delivered doom seems dumb. It would make sense if tails did AOE damage by default

#

But I get it

less unseen blades

!wa

#

Use Zac’s if u play outlaw imo

#

I’m using zacs for all 3 specs rn

gaunt phoenix
#

anyway, at least for the sample profile i used, fatebound is 10% ahead of trickster at 1 target, is the same as trickster at 2 target, 6.5% behind at 5 target, 8% behind at 8 target

blissful zinc
dim parrot
#

Diff toons lol

daring oxide
gaunt phoenix
#

im not sure about nexus king

#

dragon boss

daring oxide
#

hmm

gaunt phoenix
#

i think it's mostly 1-2t

hybrid pecan
#

5.5M sim seems average/below average for ST and outlaw is hard capped so what's the niche it is supposed to fill?

daring oxide
#

maybe

#

but i also thought pure ST trickster on nexus king would also be pretty good

#

as we'd naturally cleave more

#

but hard to say

#

fatebound might just be better

#

way more ST

gaunt phoenix
daring oxide
#

we should be tuned towards 6mil imo as Fatebound

gaunt phoenix
#

you are just always zooming and no ramp

daring oxide
#

would suit the flat damage profile better for this tier

gaunt phoenix
#

on literal patchwerk bosses we are probably on the mid/lower end but that's fine

daring oxide
#

ya

#

which to me is strange

cinder relic
#

If u need platform damage, u probs play trickster

#

If u want more boss damage, Ur gonna play FB

daring oxide
#

i think it'll ultimately be boss damage really

#

especially considering last phase

#

so FB

#

at least FB pure ST is still going to cleave for free during adds and 2T

hybrid pecan
#

I'm just wondering because compared to, for example, ele shaman which is simming 6M in ST and also does insane AoE and brings a raid buff

daring oxide
#

I think FB will blast last phase

#

high mobility

#

and on the move

cinder relic
#

Stop caring about raidbots Sim dps

#

It's literally the most worthless stat ever

hybrid pecan
#

Fair enough

cinder relic
#

It tells you nothing useful

#

This raid isn't single target patchwork, no raid is

gaunt phoenix
#

perhaps a few bosses will resemble patchwerk, but the late bosses with so much movement and shit, who knows

daring oxide
#

fractilus

#

probably the most patchwerk

gaunt phoenix
#

i have a hunch outlaw will look great on nexus king

#

dimensius is a big question mark ofc

daring oxide
#

we will find out more when we do hc dimmy

gaunt phoenix
#

but outlaw seems to creep its way of looking good at the last boss if people put the time on it

daring oxide
#

but yeah i think nexus king is gonna be great

tribal cosmos
#

Ye outlaw always good

#

I just beg my raid lead to not do mechanics

#

But the higher you parse the more mechanics you do

dawn talon
tribal cosmos
#

Its a cruel wirld

mossy shell
#

every season everyone is doomer about outlaw and then it's perfectly playable

dawn talon
#

we're starting to see players get to the level of skill where outside of egregious exceptions it doesn't matter too much if your spec is good on a boss

cinder relic

I think destro lock looks good this patch too

man i forgot this was a talent wtf is this

@vivid vessel you remember me hubby ?

vivid vessel

we lose litteraly 15 % st

by taking bf talents

already

and we also cant chose to just do more st

while all these specs

just chose to funnel instead

no cap outlaw minus KS was sick nasty this season

mossy shell
#

how dare you say that

vivid vessel
#

nah bro outlaw changed into a spec that lost nothing to a spec that lose litteraly 30% st to go aoe talents

tribal cosmos
#

I think outlaw shouldnt ever lose dmg for st or aoe since we have no burst

strong halo
#

Would be cool if there was a buff for having AR up for like 1 min straight you get a buff

tribal cosmos
#

But whatever frost dk time HOLY

#

@strong halo punishes downtime bosses

glass mortar
#

for a long time outlaws thing in raid did seem to be doing very effective "free" cleave

#

we had seasons we literally gave up like 4% st to take aoe talents

tribal cosmos
#

Yes free aoe cleave allowed you to dodge the “ only st “ raid call

glass mortar
#

now for ur "tuned" st build, assuming its not op, ur giving up like what, 20% ish for talents + fatebound?

#

between optimal aoe and optimal st

keen belfry
#

@vivid vessel how much are healers doing on ptr

glass mortar
#

feels kinda like not what law usually was about and was one of the major upsides of its damage profile

tribal cosmos
#

Now its “ fuck im doen 20%l

mighty pivot
#

how about they introduce Surrender to Adrenaline, which gives you insane energy regen and damage but if you drop it your heart literally explodes (in game)

tribal cosmos
#

Outlaw damage profile is being removed from its original form

#

This isnt the outlaw i fell in love with sad

tribal cosmos
#

The straight line

cinder relic
#

It's still a straight line

tribal cosmos
#

But its st or aoe line

#

Wait wouldnt this change really butcher m+ law too

strong halo

Most straight line spec in game lol

tribal cosmos
cinder relic
keen belfry
#

oh shit are we back to dmg profile talk

#

LETS GO

tribal cosmos
#

@vivid vessel gimmeh my baugette

#

Its ok the less players on outlaw the higher rank i get

#

There was like 20 outlaw players in dfs3

#

Fyrrak diff

strong halo
#

Tbh if outlaw hits like a wet noodle in ST it feels awful even if the aoe is good

#

Pressing all those buttons to compete with tank smh

tribal cosmos
#

Meh 95 parse + all that matters

#

And 95% of players wont achieve those numbahs

#

So the difference of % wont be a problem for most raidasss

keen belfry
#

i wonder what% of players parse over 95 once

tribal cosmos
#

The variance under 95% parse is inssne

#

Which is where most players sit

strong halo
tribal cosmos
#

And where balance matters litrle

keen belfry
tribal cosmos
#

Balance just matters so little if you arent optimized gameplay

keen belfry
#

thoughts chat?

tribal cosmos
strong halo
#

Oh lmao yeah I’m not gna engage with that

glass mortar
#

hwat

keen belfry
#

am i doing math wrong rn

glass mortar
#

only 5% of players for each boss can parse 95% or higher thats how the %s work and not 100% of players raids at all

#

so i imagine significantly less then 5% of all players have ever 95th percentile or higher parsed

#

if i had to guess probably 10% or less of the entire playerbase even steps into raid

strong halo
#

You have 8 bosses and 4 patches per season though

keen belfry
#

and doesnt your parse lock in daily

random stirrup
glass mortar
#

oh you mean like ever see it once? i mean even then

#

u cant forget how few people even raid period

keen belfry
#

theres more than 1 person per season with a 100 parse on a boss fight

glass mortar
#

it is not a significant amount of the playerbase

tribal cosmos
#

Look we just need to let a real outlaw fan make outlaw great again

#

Instead of a gun we should get a sawed off double barrel shot gun

#

And it has aoe dmg

#

Gg

#

?

strong halo
#

Well actually even if you had 1 patch, there’s a lot of 95 per patch because of timing, the more people gear the higher the parses by end of season

tribal cosmos
strong halo
#

But idk what % of pop raids vs doesn’t

glass mortar
#

id put it at under 15%

#

ive seen 10% used before but i dont know its source

#

thats all raiding

strong halo
#

I think that’s a bit low tbh but idk enough and where we could check

#

I think it would make more sense to look at just the raiding pop

glass mortar
#

the average wow player is far more casual then anyone who has ever raided realizes

tribal cosmos
#

Hmm those numbers are 4 years ago

#

Dunno about now

glass mortar
#

yea they stopped releasing exact numbers 4 years ago so i dont think its possible to do anything but guestimate now

strong halo
#

Unless blizzard gives us those numbers how would we even check

tribal cosmos
#

You just compare first bosses killed per season

#

And you can get a rough estimate of guilds attempting mythic

#

And the % drop or rising

#

Obviously not 100% but it paints an abstract pic

strong halo
#

You don’t have total pop though

#

Or concurrent pop

#

Blizzard doesn’t show that anymore

tribal cosmos
#

Shareholders reports are vague but numbers have been strady 1.2-2 m actuve

keen belfry
#

if we are talking about parse numbers i think its safe to only count people who raid

tribal cosmos
#

Well i have an outlaw and dk this raid

#

I heard dk was easy so im gonna enjoy napping

#

During keys

why would you play dk

So is the M+ build we're using next season the "keep it rolling cleave" build on wowhead?

cinder relic
#

Well they haven't been updated yet

#

But probably pretty similar

#

Might be a random talent different. Nj

glass mortar

pretty sure u basically just swap sleight for loaded and then one of the other smoll middle talents for kspree (as fatebound) and thats it

Wowhead will have 1 fth and 2 fth so

It won't have ho

craggy barn
#

we aint hos no more

vivid vessel
#

why would it not have ho @cinder relic

#

its not more behind than usual

cinder relic
#

Becuase I feel that the complexity jump isn't worth splitting hairs over this tier with the container stuff being removed

#

The build is just worse at all target counts, so why would it be featured?

vivid vessel
#

because its easier

#

and its not that behind

why was it featured in df s3 and df s4

craggy barn
#

imo, not providing all viable builds leads to things like people coming in here asking why someone uses one build over another, or ask why the builds people are using on raiderio arent on wowhead

cinder relic
#

The issue is how do we define viable

#

I can feature literally 50 "viable builds" that are 2% worse or 5% worse but at what point is it just clutter for the sake of clutter

vivid vessel
#

i think you dont realize how much harder kir is for new players guy

#

litteraly

cinder relic
vivid vessel
#

what

#

thats so untrue

#

kir has been better every tier

craggy barn

yes but when KIR is better, u still had HO on wowhead only and people were confused

and ho has been played more

every tier

cinder relic

How to use rtb RTB
(ho_charger HO build)

  • Roll on cooldown until you get a 5 buff. If you have 4 total buffs including cto CTO, you can choose to keep them until 3, it's not an expected dps loss or gain.

(kir_charger KIR build)

  • Has a concept of buffs being preserved through RTB casts after pressing kir KIR instead of being rolled off.
  • Use this weakaura to see how many buffs you "will lose" by pressing RTB (red or blue border).
  • Roll if you will lose between 0-2 buffs.
  • Roll if you will lose between 3-4 buffs if they are all below ~10s remaining.
  • If you kir KIR a natural 5 buff, wait until buffs approach ~41s remaining before rolling.

The faq elaborates on these rules.
