its just that

#

execute has better value

#

than normal damage

#

thats it

cinder relic
#

Yeh it's not like it's a race or anything

#

Sin just gains value in execute, where the boss is also taking additional damage

worldly shale
#

i mean

#

yeah

craggy barn
#

clearly outlaw is the most popular rogue spec

fathom bramble
#

fake additional damage

#

if a damage amp kicks in at a certain % life then it's not actually a real damage amp

#

it's just the boss having less life

#

if it's sin for execute for the timed phase to outrace it then yeah

vivid vessel
#

what

#

no

fathom bramble
#

but the damage amp is just not real and doesn't actually effect anything other than your parse

vivid vessel
#

it does tho

#

its like making the execute longer

violet ferry
#

!fuu

ornate heathBOT
vivid vessel
#

im confused honestyl

#

if the boss takes more damage after a certain hp treshold

#

you are better if you also do more damage after that certain hp treshold

fathom bramble
#

only if that phase is actually deemed more important

#

which has nothing to do with the damage amp

vivid vessel
#

why

#

you want to kill boss as fast as possible

#

thts how raid works

#

you do more damage

worldly shale
#

more damage=more damage

vivid vessel
#

so you kill boss sooner

worldly shale
#

right?

fathom bramble
#

because the amp kicks in at a % life the damage you are doing looks better on logs but isn't actually more important for kill speed

#

it's mathematically the same as if the boss just hit himself for damage at 50%

vivid vessel
#

ye idk

#

i dont understand what you mean

fathom bramble
#

disregarding the short window below 50% life where he doesn't have the amp yet for simplicity

pure folio
#

hes saying, its the same as if the boss had 50% less hp and no damage amp

#

or w/e the damage amp % equates to

#

since it isnt a strict timing for the amp phase

fathom bramble
#

because the boss has 33% increased damage taken for 50% of his max life the damage amp always does the same amount of damage to the boss regardless of whether your group is weighted to p1 or p2 damage

#

he effectively just takes 12.5% of his max life on the phase transition

vivid vessel
#

idk im stupid i guess

fathom bramble
#

actually if he took damage instead of having an amp execute classes would be even better 🤔

#

think of it this way, he has 2 HP bars

#

P1 and P2

vivid vessel
#

ah

#

i get it

#

ok

fathom bramble
#

P2 HP bar progresses 33% faster(25% less HP)

#

but that doesn't necessarily make damage to the p2 bar better

inland mango
#

!wa

fathom bramble
#

it's the fact that it is a timed phase that can make damage to the p2 bar better

vivid vessel
#

no wait i dont get it

worldly shale
vivid vessel
#

cause that would be true if the hp of the boss went up to 100 %

#

when he phased to p2

#

but since he is in exec range

#

a spec that has an exec profile gain value still or

fathom bramble
#

that makes the p2 bar stronger for execute yes, but that has nothing to do with the amp

#

it will look better on logs though

#

but unless you value p2 damage more than p1 damage it's not actually better

#

like everything that can make sin better for the fight still applies with or without the amp

#

it's just about racing the timer in p2 before you die or run out of space

#

though with more gear I seriously doubt anyone is running up against that timer ever again

worldly shale
#

i mean i dont think switching from sub to assa or even outlaw to assa

#

would make

fathom bramble
#

like there's a core concept that I feel like I'm failing to explain, but if a damage amp is only present at a certain %HP threshold on the boss then it's not a real damage amp

worldly shale
#

a big difference

fathom bramble
#

it's just reducing the size of their HP bar

worldly shale
#

zac is CRANKING

#

outlaw really is

#

a spec of all time

fathom bramble
#

like imagine if the first half of AR CD was somehow 90 seconds and the 2nd half progressed 50% faster and became 60 seconds

#

you wouldn't say restless had more value in the 2nd half

#

since you still need time and restless to get to the progression amp

frail veldt
#

yeah exactly

fathom bramble
#

maybe that's not quite a solid example since bosses don't passively lose hp over time

vivid vessel
#

HM

vivid vessel
#

tyty

#

cranked that boss

fathom bramble
#

which boss is that even

frail veldt
#

wow such a melee tier huh

vivid vessel
#

dimensius hc

fathom bramble
#

makes sense

mighty pivot
#

that's almost 50 times what the assa rogue did, nerf outlaw?

vivid vessel
#

last lil dimmy split of the tier

worldly shale
vivid vessel
#

i understand thatr

#

but im unsure

#

if i actually understand

#

but i think

#

i trolled playing assa then

#

cause outlaw can help on webs

#

so its just striclty better

#

if it does the same damage

fathom bramble
#

if the p2 timer was getting you then assa could still be the right choice

vivid vessel
#

i dont think it was

#

well p2 is harder i feel

#

to heal

#

so i guess

#

or idk

#

is it

#

eh

#

whatever

#

the boss was easy

fathom bramble
#

it's also an easy boss

#

so does it really matter in the end

worldly shale
fathom bramble
#

I wonder how much 1 person afking in a heroic impacts our standing on warcraftlogs

#

do they cull massive outliers for the statistics page

vivid vessel
#

nah they dont

mighty pivot
#

they don't dont you remember last season where one outlaw parse was like 50% worse than everyone else?

worldly shale
#

i mean the thing about outlaw is

vivid vessel
#

cause like

#

ye

#

you know how the bars

#

are like these

#

and you remember in s2 we had like

#

a massive line on the left

#

ye

#

this one

fathom bramble
#

nice

mighty pivot
#

what a legend

vivid vessel
fathom bramble
#

so if I use my 2 accounts to have 4 rogues instead of 2 rog 2 pal then when I need to afk a 2nd character in a split I can reduce outlaws standing on warcraftlogs 🤔

fathom bramble
#

or I tab back and forth to brick both parses and still contribute damage 🤔

Do you guys have any useful macros yall run around with ? Outlaw is so fast paced sometimes I feel like playing catch up 😂

frail veldt
#

thats it though

#

!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.

covert kestrel
frail veldt
#

on fatebound theres some macros to use for ST. Info on that is in the pins

strong halo
#

@vivid vessel ok tbh i see what youre saying about Streets being a Sub key, That shits easy, and basically just 4 bosses

smoky matrix
#

Ty fellas

vivid vessel
#
  • because sub is op
#

you know

mighty pivot
#

is zac more anti-sub now than he was anti-assa? CAUGHT

covert kestrel
#

Zacs second favorite spec is sub

#

But it's not outlaw

#

So

#

Assa comes below many non rogue specs lol

mighty pivot
#

assa is likely only above aug

fathom bramble
#

aug is a different kind of hatred though

#

instead of just simply being unfun it play it can actively ruin the game for people not playing it

#

it's the first pinned message, you are using an AR + GS macro for the opener, and then you can reuse it for vanish.

#

You open with macro > rtb > bte

smoky matrix
#

Gotcha! Ty

#

So would you say it’s bad practice to GS bind to all your abilities or just use the cancel aura macro and just go from there

#

I mean I can see the problem arising if you got a low health mob and send a GS into it

frail veldt
#

As trickster it's not so bad but as fatebound it can cost you a few percent

worldly shale
#

I mean idk why u would do that tbh

#

Its not like we have

frail veldt
#

I don't know an exact amount but I would say fatebound is def more impacted

smoky matrix
#

Is fate bound better than trickster for M+

gaunt phoenix
#

generally no

plucky sonnet
#

trickster is significantly better in AOE

smoky matrix
#

Ah okay

plucky sonnet
#

it's also very far behind in ST though

smoky matrix
#

ST looks ugly on outlaw

#

At least mine does 😂

#

Would you say outlaw is gear dependent to pull ahead? I find myself averaging out about 4m in most runs but again I’m only 677 ilvl

quaint wharf
#

677 is pretty low

frail veldt
inland acorn
#

You only need haste and ilvl weapon

frail veldt
#

so you can look at that to see if youre playing the spec well or not

#

90+% for a key is great, 80-90 is decent, sub 80 def missing some things, and sub 70 is prob missing a lot of things

inland acorn
#

If anything I think outlaw loses the more ilvls we get, because other specs get more use out of their secondary stats

#

While we're just getting haste cap and dump rest in vers+crit

hasty warren
normal forge
#

And good usage of coup procs and keeping ADR up. And being smart and lucky with rtb

#

realistically you only need haste and good ilvl MH, everything else you dump into vers is just bonus

hey why do i /cancelaura stealth? and can i solely use these macros for ADR and BTE? meaning i dont need 2 adr buttons and 2 BTE buttons on my bars?

frail veldt

youll still want to have a dedicated GS button though

#

because you want to press it on cd if you dont have any vanish charges, you could in theory use your adr button for that as well I guess haha

Yes it's worth, even the 678 ilvl version is incredibly good and competes with myth track offhands
Go do the Hallowfall weekly event which begins at the top of every hour
You either get the cudgel from the quest reward box that is Veteran track
or
You use the token you receive from the quest to purchase the Adventurer track cudgel from the vendor next to the quest giver

Bc they pick it up and they're like

fathom bramble
#

if you take vigour with our haste cap you end up basically GCD capped outside AR

stuck patrol
#

"wtf is this garbage this isn't fun"

#

Bc they don't know how to play it

buoyant cosmos
#

instead of making anything faster

late swallow
#

glad you're back king

fathom bramble
#

we are just use to perma 0.8 second GCD

frail veldt
#

wow im dumb thats a lot of damage

#

dslice crit chain goes hard

wintry solar
#

it is, energy managment was part of the playstyle

fathom bramble
#

different in terms of total GCDs that you are allowed to spend on abilities without energy from ar

stuck patrol
#

Sure, but the comparison between having and not having Adr is so awful, even if it's "not dissimilar", it feels worse just from how much you lose if you lose the buff

#

And again, I'm not just speaking mythic raid here

#

So many players just do delves and world content, maybe some dungeons

#

People won't play this in those contexts

buoyant cosmos
#

Most of those people hate KiR anyways

fathom bramble
#

you'll get no disagreement from me on hating kir

stuck patrol
#

Yeah but UHUH is required for either build just to function

fathom bramble
#

from a gameplay perspective ho functions fine without uhuh

buoyant cosmos
#

I think it's easier to not mess up though

stuck patrol
#

The entire class is balance based on UHUH existing, otherwise we would be super powerful

fathom bramble
#

even kir doesn't play that poorly without uhuh

#

you are just much weaker

stuck patrol
#

But you do shit damage

#

Players will always look up "the best build" even if they don't do competitive content

#

Guess what every build on wowhead has?

#

That's right

buoyant cosmos
stuck patrol
#

UHUH

frail veldt
stuck patrol
fathom bramble
#

what is "plays like shit"

late swallow
#

feels bad to play

fathom bramble
#

if you are gcd capped outside AR

#

what could they possibly change to make that less like shit

#

other than lowing our global gcd

frail veldt
#

they just dont do as much damage

#

but the playstyle is actually decent

wintry solar
#

its the time it takes for you to have enough energy to press SS again

copper radish
#

why does LFG feel barren finding tanks right now....

buoyant cosmos
#

That's my feels like shit moment

stuck patrol
late swallow
stuck patrol
#

Most players won't even care about globals

buoyant cosmos
fathom bramble
#

gcd capped meaning that you spend most of your globals having enough energy to cast

stuck patrol
#

They care about feeling like they are doing something

fathom bramble
#

you are not waiting for energy

late swallow
#

outside of AR?

#

you have like 0 energy outside of AR with HO SC

#

maybe the old vigor build

stuck patrol
#

Having too much energy will always play better than not having enough energy

#

As in, more fun to play

fathom bramble
#

I think I said vigor like 37 lines up

#

but yes you have less energy with SC

frail veldt
#

just doesnt do much damage

late swallow
stuck patrol
#

Players don't like needing to wait to do something impactful, especially when rogue struggles in world/solo content on the first place

fathom bramble
#

I also think that a lot of the perceived ho slowness outside of AR is actually coming from losing take em

stuck patrol
#

Probably yeah

#

But if they don't do good damage, they will notice

And other players will notice. You'll be called a shit player and called a noob for not playing the "correct" build

#

Then the player won't want to play rogue

#

Or outlaw at least

late swallow
#

i teach new players how my dad raised me: negative reinforcement and toxicity

stuck patrol
#

Assuming of course they make their own build and not just copy the wowhead build, not know how to play it, or suck at it, and then be called a noob anyway

wintry solar
#

I just want to not wait 2 seconds to press SS out of adr

#

my bar is very low

frail veldt
#

its true for routing as a tank

#

its true outside of wow in games like league/dota for meta comps/builds/strats etc

mighty pivot
frail veldt
#

in modern "competitive" games youre heavily encouraged to comply to the best strategy otherwise youre "trolling" your team

stuck patrol
strong halo
#

i cant play floodgate as outlaw anymore, that key is like target cap hell

fathom bramble
#

they can fix energy outside of AR without deleting uhuh

frail veldt
fathom bramble
#

and overfocusing on uhuh imo can easily lead to deleting uhuh with no adjustments to outside AR energy

wintry solar
#

even with fixed energy, uhuh is just annoying to play around really

mighty pivot
#

fixing energy outside of AR would take like 5 minutes yeah

frail veldt
frail veldt
#

haha

fathom bramble
frail veldt
#

so that ar energy level remains unchanged

#

and baseline is higher

#

it would literally take like 2 lines of code

#

not even lines youd just change some base values

fathom bramble
#

you could also retune energy overall and rework AR to be an energy generater multiplier so that it always scales perfectly with out of AR energy

#

^this fix is way harder

frail veldt
#

like if adr instead was 25% increased energy regen and base energy regen was buffed to compensate

#

25% would match the increase in gcd

#

so that you dont feel more energy starved in adr

#

any lower and there would be problems

stuck patrol
#

Hypothetically this all seems fine

fathom bramble
#

well not quite since a lot of energy resources do not get increased by %increased energy regeneration rate

mighty pivot
#

just move it to combat potency

frail veldt
#

cuz theres static energy gains that arent even affected by adr

#

imo the bigger thing to fix

#

is normalizing fatal flourish procs

#

it should just be X energy per auto

fathom bramble
#

"Energy regeneration rate increased by 10% while adrenaline rush is not active" spec passive

fathom bramble
#

true

frail veldt
#

and change this to 100% chance to generate 5 energy

#

...

#

like

#

cmon

#

you run out of energy INSIDE ADR due to how shit FF is

stuck patrol
#

IDK either way I'm mad when I get killed and lose all of my Adr time I gained from pressing Adr 5 seconds earlier, and I hate playing this stupid spec when I'm forced to have so much downtime I lose and Adr I could have extended another 60 seconds

#

And I hate how it feels to play when I lose adr

#

Otherwise it's super fun

#

Feast or famine is cringe

frail veldt
#

I dont think anyone disagrees with that haha

mighty pivot
#

they would have to make the energy gain scale based on weapon speed in that case just like its chance is normalised right now

frail veldt
#

well the proc scales

mighty pivot
#

that's what I said

fathom bramble
#

yeah it's like 3.641 energy per auto with a dagger or something to make it fair

#

in theory

frail veldt
#

ah yeah I gotchu

#

but again those are easily solveable

stuck patrol
#

Just do SOMETHING ndjxjsjxjdsn

mighty pivot
#

they are if you have a dev PEPW

frail veldt
#

I mean were probably getting a rework so this could happen

stuck patrol
#

Outlaw lost double charge Adr so dhs could get devourer

frail veldt
stuck patrol
frail veldt
#

I mean alphas not even out yet

#

how do you know

mighty pivot
buoyant cosmos
frail veldt
mighty pivot
#

just say it pussy

fathom bramble
#

uhuh changed to only apply to BF and also grant some small token damage during AR or something

stuck patrol
fathom bramble
#

hero talents are
Sneaky Opportunity: Casting Vanish or exiting stealth causes your next X sinister strikes to be guaranteed to strike twice
Quiet adrenaline: Casting vanish grants 3/6(2 pointer) seconds of adrenaline rush
Preparation: Vanish and Adrenaline rush both have an additional charge, and grant x% damage for 10 seconds when activated. Multiple applications may overlap.

#

fixed

wintry solar
#

"Expansion level changes" but its just a buff to energy gen

frail veldt
frail veldt
#

no more vanish in offensive rotation

wintry solar
#

its so loaded

frail veldt
#

its the root of all evil

stuck patrol
stuck patrol
#

So we don't reset mobs in solo content

frail veldt
#

and make our adr/bf just pause when out of combat

#

done and done

stuck patrol
#

Please god

stuck patrol
wintry solar
#

thats what uhuh shouldve been tbh

#

or like second wind

stuck patrol
#

When we had shadow dance in Shadowlands and DF, I could actually do some solo content

fathom bramble
#

Upper Hand: Spending combo points extends Adrenaline Rush and Blade flurry durations by x seconds per combo point spent. Additionally Blade flurry and Adrenaline rush cannot lose duration if you have not spent or generated combo points in the last 3 seconds

#

you can just use a vanish macro or faster hands to vanish in solo content to be fair

frail veldt
frail veldt
stuck patrol
#

IDK if it has to do with my ping or what

wintry solar
#

vanish during FTH proc

frail veldt
#

I stun the mob

#

if possible

#

that helps for some reason

fathom bramble
#

vanish in general should just not drop combat until it converts into stealth

#

all 3 specs should cast vanish for dps or utility

stuck patrol
#

I've also noticed it helps if the mob is casting a channeled ability

frail veldt
fathom bramble
#

and I don't want the bloat of a vanis hthat is just a 2nd vanish key

frail veldt
#

that would be hard for them to change I think

stuck patrol
#

Needs a rework either way

#

The amount of self control it takes to not @ Realz this shit every day

wintry solar
#

I'd go as far as to say Outlaw shouldnt need vanish and should remain stealthless to make itself more unique from the other specs. Its been over 20 years, I think we can shake the DnD rogue archetype now that wow has made a name for itself

stuck patrol
wintry solar
#

yeah

river escarp
#

Outlaw wasn't even really stealth dependant until the talent tree rework in Dragonflight, as well

wintry solar
#

subterfuge dependent

stuck patrol
#

I would argue outlaw shouldnt require stealth as a DPS CD at least

fathom bramble
#

Outlaw has had significant and often insane DPS gains from stealth/vanish since legion

wintry solar
#

vanish and subterfuge is different

river escarp
#

? I don't recall any except like Kyrian Shadowdust

fathom bramble
#

we gained a crazy amount damage from it in the first expac where outlaw even existed

wintry solar
#

Legion we had master assassin

restive obsidian
#

Stealth is fine. Mob deaggro in .5 seconds is not fine

wintry solar
#

and BFA didnt have any

fathom bramble
#

CTO for all of SL and mantle in shadowlands

#

BFA was the only expansion where vanish/stealth didn't really do anything

#

and in legion it was a lot of damage from mantle since vanish was up so often

lethal oak
#

Bring back BFA amirite?

fathom bramble
#

mantle was worth more than some of the talents people complain about these days

river escarp
#

Yeah I guess you're right on that, I forgot which legendaries I was running back then

wintry solar
#

BFA was really good but we cant go back to CP RTB

stuck patrol
wintry solar
#

2nd best for sure

fathom bramble
#

and then to be completely fair Combat did also exist for a bit there

#

and didn't care much for vanish

stuck patrol
#

Best outlaw was s4 Shadowlands

#

On god

river escarp
#

Yeah like in MoP it's just for some cheap CP generation with ambush

frail veldt

outlaw is very good at padding on the 2 adds that literally don't need damage on them

and it shows very nicely on the logs

glass mortar

its not fair because all us filthy outlaw players are anti padding boss damage logs

anytime theres aoe we play a padding build to make ourselves look worse

its our fault when you think about it

u might do literally triple the dps u would as the ST build but its still padding

you said any trickster build ?

with both builds running the same non-hero talents

if i play st trickster vs st fb

your st turn off to trickster level
