no pc is just dogshit talent design
i was making a joke

yeah pc sucks
half our talent tree sucks and shoulda been baseline
woaw
we have to talent INTO being hard capped at 8 targs
Wait until you find out you need to talent into getting access to any aoe for a lot of classes
Fury is target capped to 1 without talents 
ngl both hero talents make outlaw worse imo
ok but we aren't a lot of classes, outlaw has always had very easy access to its aoe
talenting into 8 cap isnt even a big deal
i feel like that's a really stupid argument to make when that was like, specifically our thing
but we should also be able to talent into soft capped lol
id be cool with that
id be fine if our baseline was 5 and we could extend it to a softcapped 8
even if baseline was hard capped 5
idgaf
DS removed, deft + softcapped at 8 as one capstone-tier talent?
i really do not want to hit blade rush
and cleave with blade flurry
rotationally
i do
like felblade sometimes moving you because a mob moved 10cm
is insanely cringe
and havoc is not a super positionally strict spec like outlaw already is
that just sounds miserable
That one mfer that hates everything
😭
no i think we just have a bunch of dogshit
that needs to go
i love sub in its current state even though it functionally has 1 hero tree
hey we got riposte
When the tank dying is a dps increase
So trying to figure out where my missing couple million dps is when there is a huge pull do you just rip through crackshot windows right away after ad rush?
And killing spree
im confused by your question
on first pull yeah , but you should always have adr up
dont get ur hopes up
its not gonna happen
hi
Hi

you shot guy
Hello all! is there a general rule as to when to use finisher with 5+ combo points and when to use with 6+ ? I am a little confused on this part
5+ in subterfuge and 6+ otherwise
thanks. does this also apply to Stealth? like if I am stealthed and have 5 combo from previous fight
Does anyone know if there's a weakaura for when the set bonus procs or if that's even possible for trickster
ye then you would open with a finisher
Other than just tracking Buff.
not possible
have to just track when you see the stacks go up
its awful
It was more to make me hate myself when/if it procs during coup stacks
yeup
last question: if I have opportunity buff or audacity buff up should I finish with 5?
yeah dunno
its zac's fault
delayed another week
? will they change outlaw? in 11.2.5?
in phase 1 of alpha, releases 2nd october next week
nice
im sad though our apex talents dont come until later
I had a nice apex talent idea called Notorious
I bet most classes will get a rework and will probably be much easier to play, since they are going to remove addons. Frost DK rework actually is a sign imo
i dont trust blizz to remove addons in a way that makes the game better
you dont trust blizz
so hopefully they'll do away with the RTB container
hidden unseen blades buffs
etc
why would you do that?
and make things trackable on cooldown manager
the cd manager shitshow convinced me of that
it wasnt that bad
its a lot better than it was and its going to be even better soon
thats the thing
not my fault, the cleaner told me they struggling, need more time to cook
it took a while for it to get to that point
if you want us to switch it has to be the same or better day 1
more time to cook that 4% aura buff
im oneoss
well they need to get it right, maybe 4% isn't enough, maybe Precise cuts needs to be tuned down, our BF aura back to 50% etc
like its really difficult
it takes time to think about each of these individual changes
needs a lot of time, thought, and tender care to ensure the absolute correct tuning changes are made
thats why these things often take weeks to months to change these single components
understandable, let's hope they make that decision before midnight, since it appear to be a final decision
The hopium
like
plus they need to do lots of checks incase they might of mispressed a key somewhere else in the code, made a typo etc, they can't have a repeat of reintroducing bugs due to funny devops oppsies, etc
i said this in the sin channel
have to be very rigorous with these things, meticulous all the way
i'd gladly take a season 4 for a less buggy midnight
becuase this expansion has been exhaustingly buggy
i do think they should probably slow down the cadence, its true that this expansion in the ways of bugs and quality of releases has been dogbottom throughout TWW
i remember when outlaw became the best spec in the game, with BM hunter level power for almost a week
we had the content though which is nice
when we had extra CP finisher tech
yeah man
thanks to hero talent tech
perma coup
now that was peak and fun
now bm hunters get to do that with just proper tuning 🙂 no bugs involved!
Rip critters
dastardly duos, horrific visions revisited, nightfall, lorewalking totally amazing
They were slain for our greed
CHIHIRO - BIllie Eilish
whats our overall thoughts gonna be on TWW
i think warbounds are goated of all time
turbo boost? meh
m+ seasons were MEH
not everything will be catered to you
I liked most of it
crazy how that works
turbo boost is alright, brings a tiny bit of life into the game mid season, always feels good to grow in power
but S2 was the best season for outlaw
but that was thanks to decent tuning, and very good/fun tier set
but its a shame it ended in a flop with s3
KS was so ass tho
eh
Killed s2 for me
yeah the ks sized elephant in the room
today's Connections was gigaez wtfrick
i mean
This expac was pretty solid tbh
yes KS in s2 was painful, but it was very quick to get used to it
I wanna neck myself using KS on mugzee
but tbh
Wasnt an Outlaw expac but it had its high points. The dungeons for M+ were solid and the raids werent bad at all
i had more of a laugh
at the memes of old KS during S2
just the funny shit it did
when u had mechanics on you
made up for it
it was a garbage spell though 100%
but was fun to troll with it
new KS and go hard in the same sentence
its terrible
normally I'd rate expacs based on how fun Outlaw is but this one is an exception because its design is so garbage for the type of content blizz wants to put out
Trickster ho with KS is way better than old ks
meh HO is so boring
No shot you take old ks over new
KS is better now
but channel needs to be faster, cd shorter, and no rng targetting
if it means i do damage again just give me the ks that fkin kills me
but still worst spell in game idk
thats a stretch
Only thing I dont like about new KS is the random targeting and not being able to kick or KiR
yeah theyre big
oh well
its just the first iteration of the new KS
im sure they've already made improvements to KS for the outlaw rework
they've been given the feedback
so we'll have to wait and see if they are actually listening or if devs prefer to stay by their own philosophy, which is normal sometimes if they have their own vision and preferences
The amont of rookery I broke just by pressing ks even after 20-30 tries I couldn't get all the timings right
we find out anyways in 6 days !
i mean i just held KS until it was safe to press
or sent it with claok
cloak
in rookery
you just hold it until mid phase is over
or send with cloak
it wasn't that bad
it was just a garbage spell thats all
"...which is normal sometimes if they have their own vision and preferences"
this is why I dont really care if they go overboard with making it easier. Who am I to say what their vision of their game is?
but the thing is that we were tuned well
and we could play trickster
not dogbound spec
is that real? i cant find any news about outlaw rework
erm yes
im going to be unfathomably furious if they turn us into ret pal
in 6 days they release alpha, and the friends, family and content creators will get access to it.
However they will also release info of class changes, and i'm very much 99.9% expecting to see the outlaw rework that Ion and Jade Martin spoke about in their interviews (UH DKs also getting them).
Phase 1 alpha hits 2nd october
yeah thats why its the only expac im not ranking it based on how outlaw is because its pretty good on my other classes.
i don't know what the dates are for alpha phases
like are they coming every week
every 2 weeks
or
but
im expecting Midnight to get released in August 2026
i think s1 dungeons were very bad but i got to play enhance shaman so
nerubar palace was so mid
s2 dungeons were bangers
raid was ok
s3 dungeons are fine
raid is good
nerubar palace actual stinker
i wont lie
i legit think ulgrax is my least fav boss
nah
ever
i am very antsy to see what they have
i dont trust them to be good
idrc for the M+ dungeons but theyre not bad. I just wouldve chose different ones
but i need to see it
ulgrax was the worst boss EVER EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
mythic kyveza was my favourite fight this tier
the anticipation is worse than anything
this expan
kyveza mythic my favorite fight of the expac tbh
same
was a real banger
my favorite fight of the tier is dimensius raid finder
Dimmy is my fav this expac
the movement and dodges were so precise and pretimed that it was basically a 100% uptime fight if u played it correctly to
just not on outlaw
my favourite fight of the tier was LFR Flarendo
if i got the laser beam
i would press KS
and kill like 10 noobs
and still live
i fucking loved it
or was it normal Flarendo
can't remember
one of them
was there a single good fight in undermine? carnage?
idk
Literally all of them except mugzee
Outlaw was super OP at OAB
you tink stix was a good boss?
rik reverb?
Yeah I do, and I'm tired of pretending they aren't
reverb was good until they nerfed evasion
they should of made adds spawn
during intermission in reverb
gally was kinda buttcheeks too
Bosses with pass/fail mechanics aren't automatically bad
so we had something to hit
i played mage until mugzee...........................................
traitor
im a trader
Loved rik reverb
my bad!!
nice firestrike nooba
this expac was great if you didnt play outlaw
i stil think amirdrassil goat raid
sprocket oab goat bosses
amidrassil had
best first boss ever
igira fun pad fight
a good patchwerk volc fight
smolderon - tindral - fyrakk goated last 3
tindral was so damn great of a fight
i thought igira was really boring tbh
fyrakk intermission WA bad tho
fyrak randomness of aoe drops was boring af tho
fair
but smold trindral fyrakk were awesome except private aura bullshit
Fyrak was a great fight
yeah i look back at fyrakk and tindral as my goated goats
thats my first ever CE!!!!!
Dimensius is a great fight too. I love it so much
fyrakk was actually pretty fun to tank
dimensius is a rly fun fight for ranged
Maybe I'll like dimmy when I play sub lol
ye
I got a weird view on bosses now
ill be curious to see my shitter guild on saladbar and dimensisu
enjoyed it a little less on melee but like as long as u don't play outlaw on it it's still enjoyable
Sub is fun on nexus
ye
Dimensius is dope but I hate these bosses where movement precision is required
cause my social raiders just cant
I just send everything on cd
y
i try to consider that when im talking about like
heroic and especially normal versions of bosses
getting like 1-2 people knocked off on every slam on dimmy hc
if they're ranged u can just tell them to go to the cheese spot
and only move to drop pools
there's a little lip on the back of the platform
that u won't get knocked back on
ill take a look at it
Its fun for melee too wdym lol
I don't think area denial as a mechanic existing means melee isn't fun
im gonna put this out
the core of outlaw to me, lies in 2 things
high apm, and a lot of cdr
Blessing of autumn still a thing?
what has the world come to
hi yes
OH
also
i dont want to have an actual aoe rotation
part of why I like outlaw is I can just keep doing my ST rotation in aoe
it's not the area denial i just have poor eyesight and some of the aoes in p1 and the stars in p3 are hard to see without a wa telling me im safe and that's just kinda annoying
doesn't ruin the fight but i enjoyed it less
Fair
yeah, a fun part of outlaw is that in exchange for having a somewhat more difficult st rotation, we get to always benefit from our mastery of that rotation whether it's st or aoe
imagine restless blades becomes our mastery
RB becomes a cooldown
?
who tf are u
@vivid vessel is that ur alt acc
or
im oneoss
dude I was talking to you like you were Zeross lol
consult the tier list please
what tier list
is microwaved
ye true LMAO
@wintry solar u know the movie
everything everywhere all at once
ur cooked, microwaved and fried all at once
heard it won oscars too
did u win one too popo?
yeah with Jamie Lee Curtis?
put respect on her name rn
the goat is trying but it is futile
he says im cooked
popo...
did he mix up an asian actor with jamie lee curtis
you're both on the same tier of cooked tbh
says zac
the master cookage
of all cookers
it's the only tier list we have
even his tier list is microwaved
nah u know what
im making one myself
nvm my brain got bored i wont do it
ive been less cooked as of late theres no denying
I want to see popo's tier list
so nobody would be there
most of yall would
I was not part of that
Hooooly shit. Getting the haste breakpoint, an agility offhand, and soul hunters boots took me from 2.78m sim to 3.67m sim on single target by itself. I don't even have 4 piece yet
an agility offhand
honestly this is probably most of it unless you were wayyyy below breakpoint
I was using a strength axe because I didn't have anything else. And I went from 12% haste to 27% haste
27% is a lot
I know, but it's a 7k haste necklace and I literally can't meet breakpoint unless I use it
yeah that's fair
Don't have alternatives for the other haste slots
Hopefully vault will be nice to me though
Just going to have to drop haste in other slots over time
Yep that's the plan
Decided to just toss a catalyst charge and 4-piece was only 90k DPS upgrade 😄
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/1rkhKuh7xZJEtXiptowLY2 should i gave up outlaw
Aren't dungeon sims notoriously unreliable since most of it is in both the tank's hands and your ability to stick right up his butt the entire time without dying to mechanics?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/frostmourne/danzo? i suck and the spec suck
I wouldn't put a lot of stock in those
dslice is a useful metric for comparing items/talents in dungeons
but you're right, it does not correspond to actual expected dungeon dps
August 2026 lmao!?
The point of a Sim is to tell you what upgrades you should get.
That one is a quick sim
Oh well then yeah it's useless
That number only exists to dick measure to other ppl in Ur spec
I get a ton of use out of quick sim
It lets me see at a glance how bad I am at my spec and where to improve without having to deep dive logs
no changes i see
But it doesn't do that
!wa
Class packs:
Does the dmg procs of the Elemental Focusing Lens spread via Blade Flurry?
No
It doesnt scale with aoe other then to waste procs into other targets occasionally
How to keep adr running on fatebound ? Is bte the only thing that pause time ?
subterfuge is the only thing that pauses it, but if you have 4p it should be easy to keep up on outlaw as long as you can keep uptime
any suggestions on simple wa pack
read fatebout tier set
fatebound*
it affects AR
well stealth is only thing ye
lucky coin makes ur AR better too
skill issue
my bad
!wa
Class packs:
What does it mean if I'm still running dry of energy with 27% haste? Lack of finishers due to bad rotation? Using the recommended KiR ST build.
You dont need so much haste to begin with. Haste loses nearly all its value after getting the haste cap for adr. Best just to sim your character.
And sometimes you can just run dry but you can check your adr uptime to see if you are doing alot of mistakes.
play + sometimes it just happens
Ok thanks
If elemental lenses don't spread through blade flurry how can they be better than versweave or ascendance+writhing?
Because it does more single target
didnt look at the log yet, jsut watched the end of it on stream
but I can only imagine what the bosses look like+first area lol
lol banshers basically did 2x the boss dmg of outlaw on 1st boss, and like 600m more on hooktail too
skill issue

My question is where does he even catch up in damage.
Is he there literally for permanent tricks
he doesnt
outlaw catch up damage on pads tho
like when you have random adds on bosses
hes there because theyre friends and been playing together for years, and hes the NA goat outlaw
make outlaw great again
I mean ,he's just 2 billion behind
he is 1mil dps behind
while being bottom dps
on evertyuthing that is relevant
prio damage
st
Overall, it's almost 2 billion damage
he pretty much just catch up on the irrelevant damage
while also not providing any raid buff
when buffs
You know the answer. Nothing is changing, maybe rework on alpha.
I'm expecting we'll be rioting in a week.
"based off people who don't play outlaw, we removed everything you liked :D"
Just got mythic logic gate alpha. As soon as I respec for outlaw. Haha. Maybe it's a sign
considering we're like 50 ppl playing this spec, they won't be bothered too much lmfao
how are we still playing this bullsht class?
cuz deep inside we like bdsm stuff
50??? At least 200 of us are playing it 😛
that's 200 ppl that should play something else
except for Zac, he's the chosen one
bruh
Is is an actually play to buy pvp conquest ring and get to to 704
@vivid vessel !
Easier to balance classes when they all play like bm and ret right
dumb the game down, how dare you learn
Class balance be like: Buffed Mages in PvE ✅ , Reworked Shadow✅ , Nerfed rogue in PvP ✅
nerfed outlaw of all things in pvp lol
Blame whaaz for being too good.
what class did ion main in wow?
Not rogue that’s for sure
I bet you he played rogue in cata. That's why we were gigabuffed with free combo point leggo daggers
Rsham
finally finished 17 resil and sham in my group tells me outlaw is "really great" rn when I told him thats what I main
I just bit my tongue and was happy we timed the key

guys it normal that as outlaw i get literally 0 invs since 3 days straight for hours and hours? It means I have to run my own keys purely?
Speaking of 17s
@wintry solar do i spend 400$ on a roblox item or do i put 400$ into cs cases
neither wth lol
bro wtf
you have to pick
or on rogue t3
- tcg tabard
roblox
in S2 it was total opposite had defo way more invs but now its = 0 all the time 🙁
because I play roblox and we have that in common
they fixed a bug and forgot to tune until S3
but yeahhhh
Boy you better spend that money else where
400 on cosmetics?? In this economy!!!
go cases fast
if what i get from the cases is good im good
easy
Spend it on scratchoffs
hell nah we got another young person in outlaw chat
u gotta be 30 to type inna class discord twin we aint big enough
He won nephew of the year for #outlaw
i’ve been in rogue chat since i was 15
hmm
i think i was here 2021 then mental boomed and deleted all my socials
then came back
so i would've been like 16 17
whats your pfp
neck
u lowk got one of them 2020 leaguetwt pfps
i play lol
hold on let me find my old pfp
i thought that shit was so tuff
i thought this was SO tuff in 2018
I’ve been using ravenholdt before we had discord and it was just a website with info.
Maybe I think I found it on IRC channel
Fuck I’m old
I cant think of the nickname
hyjalno
is there no timewalking raid?
Is Incorporeal warpclaw good for Outlaw specifically? Seems bad for other melee
Chat equivalent of going from a commodore64 to a 4k oled 5090
yea, outlaw tends to like damage procs cause of mega stacking vers
Ahhh that makes sense. Thanks!
!wa
Class packs:
Sim it
So subterfuge windows Is where most our damage comes from yes?

I think my dmg issue is stemming from not just slamming both vanishes at start of big pulls
I’m using it a lot near the end of packs
When it pops back up
This is what’s killing me
I know the rotation but there is so much going on I feel like ad rush has like 8 seconds left by the time I think about vanishing
But you don’t want to sit on 2 vanish charges
For first vanish, just get ks on cd first
Second one you want to get one set of coup out first
Man the waste cdr
Oh wait what is there some interaction I’m missing
Why coup out first
Time to check talent interaction again
Coup gives you a lot of flawless form
Big dps increase
Does it matter how many combos I send second coup out on
Well dang it
Not first either
You want to avoid SS if coup is available
Since you can’t gain new stacks if you proc unseen blade
Very important
Yeah but I’ll waste a pistol shot blade flurry etc trying to build
Like three gcd just for more combos
It’s good to know I don’t need to worry about four seconds of building to full though
But if mobs will die you can probably skip building altogether
In low keys that’s probably better tbh
This is like a light going off
I’m in 14s not super low but not high
I’m only getting like 6 million consistent but I know I’m leaving waaaaaaay to much on table
Making the todo list shorter is nice yeah
Our lock and Hunter and pulling like 8s
bro i deadass
The rules say to only vanish after coup
But it doesn’t have to be this strict
also don’t ask why im not running trickster
Imo you vanish if you can’t force coup in a few ss
it completely didn’t come to me
Yeah there are times I am sitting on vanish and ad rush is about to burn off and I’m in meltdown mode
Waiting for coups
So if you have the UB weak aura
And it shows no UB
Just vanish next time you are 6+ cp
There’s no good time to vanish
Only less bad times
Ok I use LE and that gets tracked I also have been trying to vanish when I get some pistol shot build ups so if I don’t get a reset I can build really fast
To bte again
It’s not that you have to have resources saved
You can save some ps stacks sure
Especially 1fth can do this
I like to start using them if I have 4 or more
Or to build for coup
Yeah that’s what I have been doing
Slam on 4 I never thought to use to build for coup though ok that’s smaaaat
guessing the 26/8 pinned post about macros is fatebound only? 😄
thank fuck
Or well
got worried I was about to pick up a dumbsterfire of a spec for m+
You don’t use bf if you have UB stacks
But we are dumpsterfire…
I picked a bad season to fall in love with outlaw hahaha
no I know that, but I'm at a point where the only thing new I can do on rogue is learn outlaw 💀
Havoc
I wanted to have useful damage for once
It’s less tanky vs one shots
Huge self healing tho
I see talks of swapping weapons around in m+, is that like a "depending on ur crudgel ilvl" situation or what's going on there?
So safe against rot
Healer and tank love me in group which is why they don’t mind having me cause I am self contained and healer can focus on our hunter who dies to being tickled
On trash, vanish will reset cudgel proc chance
But not on bosses
So we swap to normal off hand on bosses
But tbh I didnt feel the whole swap thing was worth so I just ran normal oh all the time
Being unkillable is our only utility I guess
I do miss infinite feint charges
And 20% dr from vers
Especially with it drastically changing next expac lol
Potentially*
Yeah.. maybe
Tob
Yes
Speculating is more fun than playing rn
Yes
I don't like that
new bug on my outlaw
i have all in 16 but not the resi keystone xd
When playing means just sitting in lfg for hours yeah
I farmed for mounts and had more fun
Did you go to the keystone npc?
Urormi or something
I played outlaw a bit when fatebound was big in m+ that was the most fun I ever had on a class trickster is just painful lol
Next to the portal
im in 16 not in 12
Did you have resi on earlier key levels?
If you've ever accidentally played FB in M+ like I do sometimes, the extra cdr on adr is so clean.
Idk
Try talking to keystone guy, if it doesn’t have a chat option about resi it’s probably new fun bug
Yeah I can’t figure out why I’m having so much more fun then realize I am seeing coins and no coup hahahahaha
If you want to optimize that resilience keystone bug macro it to killing spree with a cancel aura and trinket
Turn off meters and enjoy
outlaw detected, achievement recjected
lol I wish I had screenshotted a guy in my guild saying he wanted to make a weak aura for me that looks like meters and just shows me rainbows and stars and always has my name first no matter what is happening
That was after our first 14 where we got done and I died inside at my overall lol.

Have this while adr is active
We need to make a Pepe pack
I made my first weak aura ever other day it’s a adrush icon all tiny and a blue bar getting smaller from top and a red bar getting smaller from bottom going up. I basically try to keep them even so I know I’m doing well in adrush
I was very excited by it
Make them touch icon at same time
wait so is outlaw doing dmg or I'm just bad because i kinda feel like being carried every key that I do, consistently 4 5 % behind everyone, is this a similar exp for you guys ?
bad
jk
outlaw is bad
Kappa
If you want to do actual dps go sub
outlaw is alright
assassination is reaally good in big AOE pull
Sounds about right
idk, when I look at the top steamers they are always with the same dmg as the other 2 dps in the group and if I look at the dmg rankings in u gg it looks like outlaw has the competetive dmg
Thats because u GG takes into account pre made groups
that Might make outlaw better
but if you're with um lets say an arcane mage and a hunter
you're shit outta luck
They're playing with comps that boost them
you gonna be doing 10 mil in AOE while they do 20 mil +
well I do form groups around that monk tank warr dps lets say I do play with a druid but still ...
Your gameplay could need improvement anyway but regardless, outlaw just isn't all that great atm
is there a place where you can analyze lets say a two logs of a dungeon
wcl
The !log command and then someone will look at it when they get time. KiR logs suck to look at but I'm sure someone will help.
anyone got like a WA that tracks how many targets are within BF range? I'm rly used to having one for fan of knives
Hahahaha my group
Literally
!wa
Class packs:
there's no rush, but I'd appreciate if you could share whenever you get to it 😄
There’s one in the #subtlety wa command, but not 100% sure the range is correct for BF
if you mean the fan of knives one yeah it doesn't match BF (at least on my pc lol)
typical guy propaganda 
I got it on the last guess what a shitty word
Idk what range BF is rn tbh
It should reasonably have bigger range than for example fan of knives and shuriken storm since we have to be in melee range of a mob to use the flurry effect
Idk if it is tho
my dad convinced my mom that celsius were sparkling water
she just drank one at 2 am
it's 8y
I guess because the idea is youre spinning a melee weapon as opposed to throwing weapons
agreeing with popo 
I'm a decent fellow to agree with
Every other melee aoe skill in the game is probably also at least 10yds
I don't find BF's radius an issue
back than we had the best melee range 😢
Cleaves are not. Sub have less cleave radius
Yeah we had the best range and now we have the worst
Half your rotation has a 30 yard range
We had the best prio while still doing aoe, now the worst
That counts for something 
they just fucked up the tuning
you cannot expect drastic changes right before the new expansion
but they can tune it better until then
We we the first ranged melee before devs decided to make a new DH spec
it takes 5 minutes to change the aura %
Press cloak and stay
in part hero talent tier bonuses are to blame, since trickster's works way better for sub
and FB was already bad so even with the great bonuses it's not enough
FB negative prio is funny
Trickster would be fine if we didn't have to vanish every waking moment of our shit sucking miserable existence
I wonder if blizz can do hero talent specific aura buffs
negative prio is demonic design in a world where other specs get literal free funnel
I think hero trees were designed to fit 1 spec it seems. Thematically at least
Trickster would be helped a lot if we could keep building EB when coup is available
rogue ones maybe
Or if coup was consumed crackshot dispatch but would do full damage
Doesn’t fix damage profile tho
Darkranger beastmaster sounds wrong also
Trickster gameplay loop is fun though
and hit 3 times
Pad is good
Pad with cap is not
Gotta uncap the pad
cdg is kinda weirdly implemented too imo with the third hit being 0,9s after the first yet your gcd is 0,8s so they have to add the increased gcd
Idk if it would be an issue if it was auto consumed but crackshot
Maybe the ruthlessness cp would arrive too late
It’s probably too hard to code
Because crackshot dispatch doesn’t give cdr
And we would ofc want coup to give cdr
and all these multiproc attacks are annoying, SS/Ambush, FtH pistol shots, double UB, and cdg. Some give you benefits immediately, some don't. Some are affected by lag, some aren't.
Maybe coup could replace bte instead of dispatch
Or just let us stack more escalating blade stacks
cdg being a 3 hit attack causes issues for sub as well with its shadowcraft refunds
If it was bte instead you also get fun interaction with ace
or that you can by mistake CB the last hit of it instead of your next cast
Is that a thing?
you'd think that if you press a button and then CB after, it would not affect your previous cast
I feel like all the stuff lately trying to empower dispatch is a bit tone deaf
We don’t want to press dispatch
Damn, I wasted a lot of CB on last CDG hit and was always wondering if CGD hits could consume CB
Same with SS
We don’t want to press SS either
So empowering those abilities makes priorities weird
even more for trickster
Don’t know about that. CDG animation is cool
Empowering last resort buttons doesn’t feel good imo
Do we not? Its pressed frequently to use unseen blade?
yes but you want to not press it when you have 4 stacks EB
being optimal to send a finisher at 2 combo points is not good design imo
And also. Why KS have 2m cd? Sub’s SecTech is also affected by cdr
the specs play very differently tbh so their cds being similar or not is irrelevant
Yes but old KS cd was shorter
Because KS is a long ass channel
it was so outlaw did lose some DS UB charges
The rotation did feel a bit cramped with long ks channel on short cd
it still does tbh
Better solution would ofc be to make ks instant
Or pause adr
The amount of complicated rules we can make up to get gains with the current hero trees is a bit excessive
Ninjarobot, you are wise
Because our natural procs are competing with UB
And our natural loop of vanish adr handling competes with ks and coup
this is the main issue
with new KS and 4p now it's even worse
Yeah, hopefully some of this is addressed in rework
s2 gameplay loop was way smoother despite the more frequent KS
I just hope they won't make our 4p a new hero talent
or that they will address the issues it created
(for sub too, sub also changes builders sometimes to not proc UB between cdg casts)
If I compare to souls on AR havoc
They can just store infinite souls more or less
Not sure I see any real issues with letting us stack EB to the moon
Yeah you can make a giga vanish window
So what?
it creates issues for sub
a way to make it not create such issues is making the second cdg a different buff and reset your EB after the first
so you can start stacking again
But if bte consumed coup instead?
You’d basically be guaranteed ace proc so second coup wouldn’t feel bad
but that only fixes the double casts, not wanting to avoid building while at 4 EB
That could be fixed by giving a buff that allows coup after reaching 4 EB
true
and then reapply the buff after the first cast for the 4p bonus, or just make it give you 2 stacks - even easier and more clear
Yeah
And tune the duration of the buff so it’s not an issue for sub
Maybe it’s not an issue regardless
As long as number of stacks of that buff is capped
UB needs to be looked at as well (maybe straight up delete Thousand Cuts)
I would prefer it if UB was 10s duration 8-10s cd and there were no resets other than DS
I assume that the design goal was to have us not think about UB
they failed that by requiring fazed on the target though
I assume so as well, but also it just doesn't ever play like that at all
Among other things yeah
like 3-4 talents require fazed or they do nothing or just half their things
You could even say that they gloriously fell short of that design goal
so if by default you had 100% uptime on fazed as long as you stayed on the target it would achieve the same without any mental overload
it's not like UB is some deep or fun mechanic to play around
Fazed is so dumb
or just make fazed a buff on the player
but that still has issues with spells requiring it
That type of debuff interaction sucks in general
being at 4 EB and having no fazed on target and no UB charges is legit despair
Yeah what do you even do?
legit cry
SS and waste an EB probably, if you can
Press feint ig
Using coup without fazed is probably very bad
But why why why require fazed to give FF from coup?
What’s the point?
you can say the same about the other 3 talents requiring fazed too
Again probably design goal, but this time the goal was that there should be a lot of interaction between talents in hero trees
Interesting and distinct play styles or something
trickster being this clown fiesta yet the better designed rogue hero tree is somewhat funny
I do like the cd syncing of FB a bit
It’s less ass now that we can force lucky coin too
ok but that's a bug too
that one is fine yes
But the negative prio kills it
Also riddled with bugs obviously
naturally
I kinda didn’t like FB in keys for an odd reason
You have to be in melee range to vanish
I did 2 FB keys and they felt dog but I think that was before the align vanish with gs thing
I don’t think I realised how much I abuse vanish to play at range
I'd rather they delete FB's current design and start anew but that's just me being delusional
it's too passive, too skewed on coin balance, too specific with target count
Deal Fate seems the only positive thing on it
we have ideas but other people are the ones making the decisions 
we will soon know what they've been cooking
Yeah maybe
Can’t be sure that outlaw rework will be in first alpha
Can’t be 100% sure of a rework in general i guess
it will at least need significant changes to fit the narrative of being playable without WAs
or at least way more significant than what changed during TWW
UB o_O
Or they just remove a bunch of APIs
So you can’t make these WAs
Wouldnt surprise me a whole lot
I mean there's many hero specs that need to be straight up removed and just back to the drawing board make something new, fatebound and colossus being top of my personal list
It’s blizzard we are talking about though
But some classes are straight up unplayable without WAs, if they remove WAs without unfucking the design of some of these specs those specs will simply disappear in higher half of the play
Have they ever done anything that makes you think they would backtrack like that?
One can hope?
