sub has no energy issues
and it just becomes crit/vers time
is the fact that you have no energy problem that makes the value go down or something else?
25% is the point at which haste stops improving you global cooldown during AR
oh i see
no longer needing it for energy also happens around this time like ~23% so crit can take over early
it kind of gradually loses value as you approach 25% from needing less and less more energy
and then has a sharp turn at exactly 25%
hello im noob, why fatebound doesnt take killing spree?
ohh i like that visual talent 🙁
in beta which spec is better sub assa or outlaw in m`+?
yeah probably sub, but I would recommend testing the spec you enjoy or all 3 if your planning to playtest on the beta at all
outlaw 15%, its a nice competition 😄
on top of 15% everything it was also an additonal 10% on AAs
which are actually a meaningful part of our damage now
started from the bottom and now we are even lower
it made our spec aura go from +400% AA damage to +300%
from both changes hitting at once
not sure if there is a rule around this yet, but im finding with good rolls, there will be situations where you potentially munch loaded dice procs; as in you've got a jackpot rolling, loaded dice is up and ADR is about to come back off CD before existing loaded dice/jackpot expires
also the spec aura even being that high on AAs might be a fluke from the buff we got while still bugged...
so who knows if they might decide it's too high still
is this just inevitable? or is it the play to reroll with existing loaded dice if the jackpot is soon going to expire, so you can then ADR and loaded dice roll a second time in case it's a shit roll
just to maximise chances of next roll being better than a 2
if this makes sense
not sure if i understand what the absolutely correct play is but it looks like an happy problem
I'm sure there is some gain to be had in there from specific timings and rerolling early, but idk if anyone has investigated it yet
it would help if they made RTB pandemic again so rerolling early was less costly...
yeah, im not sure if there would be a threshold
like say you have 10 secs or more left of jackpot
probably would be dumb just to get that extra loaded dice
like in that case just munch the proc
yeah and on the other extreme of 1 second left on jackpot you would surely reroll early
100% adr uptime but instead of adr pausing, we just had that kind of CDR
but if there's like 5 secs, probably best to try and get both loaded dice
unless you held ADR
which seems cringe
ye solo mentioned u munch some in sims
dont think we've found ways to avoid it happening with good luck its just a thing
fair
the closest is the optimization in the opener with prep to not KiR until you consume your second LD
looks like 1.4 wasted loaded procs on average in 5 minutes
(assuming you dont hit 3+ buffs off the first roll)
i could see it being worth to roll early but maybe not
the timing in the opener is tight but its not impossible i think right
you arent using ur second ADR until ~15s into the fight so your second LD should last to 1m into the fight
which should be just around when ur first KiR buffs are expiring
i think you'd need to clip it a bit to not lose the LD tho
by a few seconds at least
yeah ive only run into the situation a couple of times, trying to recreate it now on a dummy
seems to mainly happen after consecutive lucky rolls or natty rolling a 3 or 4 without loaded dice
couldn't you also get a 3rd AR before the ld from your 2nd AR is expiring
this is all assuming ur preping on cd because theres no better usage for it
which seems to give you enough CDR to bring back ADR before old loaded dice expires
so seems rare-ish
hmm well ARs average cd is also 45s
so with 3 buff probably yea
you'd have AR up like 10-15s before ur kir buffs would expire
just quickmathing average cdr
the sim gets AR back before the 60 second mark fairly often
it's active at 60 seconds 70% of the time
which is when that ld would have expired
yeah
60% of the time, it works 100% of the time
so we expect it to happen
and if u kir'd ur first buff u probably had TB (if ur playing prep)
so yea itll probably much pretty often
its w/e this new fancy outlaw is all about inefficiencies u cant avoid

y u think we got prep instead of 2 charge adr
some dev likes to write "friction" in his diary every night b4 going to bed
You guys think we could cook up a talent build with no AR and no RTB?
No
i mean me personally i could cook you up at minimum 2 talent builds with neither of those buttons
Why not, it would really make the class simpler to play and accessible for players with no brain cells
they shoulda made RtB the base talent of the tree
There's gotta be new material out there
just to rub salt in the wounds of allthe combat enjoyers
why would we come up with new material when blizzard cant even be bothered to tho
they are even getting paid for it
thats new
2 brain cells, and they're fighting for which of the 2 buttons to press
I was talking about me wym you guys are all smart and playing the OP spec i think is gonna be nerfed
sub is as accessible as it gets right now
Can you even spend all the points if you refuse to take ar/rtb stuff?
Weird how the one season I don't play outlaw, it magically becomes the worst spec in the game
Precognition or divine intervention, call it.
Sounds like you were propping up the spec and It wasnt good without you
Maybe Zac will cook
An insult to the devs sure
why no AR? 🤔 true combat enjoyers love AR and always have. RtB however.
no AR build 
If you love adrenaline name every rush
to many caster bars it seems
rogue was my first melee! dragonflgihtt took my melee virginigingitiy
for science i shall see
so if i log on all my other rogues and or classes it will add to this? neat
yeah it needs to get the data first
technologia is pretty cool sometimes
No hunter, I need you to play surv so you will build out wang bar
should play more rogue maybe
Yeah no ar and no rtb a real man's spec
sick ass addon
does it grab data from all ur old characters if it wasn't installed
surely it does
back to the tuning change - if they were planning to do 15% overall + 10% aa buff, then dropped it because of bugfix, and outlaw is still not good, then it means they would buff it again?
most likely we will get another nerf
This made me chortle
@glass mortar since no more brann, tbc check
wow is so confusing
why did they release tbc v3
or v4
or idk which one it is anymore
cause people play it
because reselling an expansion prints money. companies like money. its pretty simple actually. bigger question is how many times they can keep doing it.
Like wobblecraft said, it's because people will play games on a seasonal reset
same reason people play poe leagues
Or runescale leagues
Just an excuse to level, do dugneons, gear a character and everybody else is doing the same
Contrary to this channel a lot of people like playing wow
and they don't need a big excuse to log back in
anyone who plays wow and enjoys it doesn't really play wow

Yall let's clown on the mfer
I enjoy playing wow
Am I playing it wrong
Fun is a feature

i got that, but if we talk about league / poe, i wouldnt play a remaster of an old season. In tft they have a gamemode to play older set and i never do it. I didnt play osrs as well. My main point is playing it once just to get your nostalgia boost and all i can understand, but a 3rd / 4th release i just dont understand. But ofc people do whatever they want, and if they like it cool for them 
why r u a ranged player
so lame
its also a different WoW to retail and some ppl like that design more
How do we feel about outlaw rotation in midnight?
it's a comfy albeit barebones version of an older version of outlaw
We are energy starved or what?
not much is left from the advancements of last 2 expansions leaving something that feels more like something from 6 years ago than like something from tww
kinda but i mean more so that UHUH is gone so ADR uptime can no longer be chained, feels very slow as a result
it's not really starved at the correct haste value
but leveling and gearing at the start of midnight may be rough
Ahh but we don't have great uptime on shorter gcd i guess yeah
even if we have enough energy
feels alright with tea
once tea stacks are up it can get a bit oof
What is our ADR uptime then like 60%
30%
30
yup
50/60% would be perfect
yeah but in m+ it is gonna be less i guess with UHUH gone
thats where it usually was pre crackshot era
it can always be worse...assa rogue cough
it's ~40% at max level in midnight on the prep setup for ST
If theo nly fun you had with outlaw was just having 95% ar uptime then you wont like this version
But u can also just hop on beta and try it urself to find out
Don't have sub atm waiting for release
i see
But yeah I mean it's like older Outlaw
BFA/SL era
Its just building and spending efficiently
Its like fury
and idk abt u but I find fury fun
Yeah okay hope it will be fun ofc. I did kinda enjoy the speed of outlaw tho
it does still have a lot of reactive procs like outlaw should
so not totally like fury
unlucky they deleted the fun proc
Like I said if you played the older version theres fun to be found in this version
Yeah from what i could see in the faq it looks like outlaw also keept some compexcity in comparision to other specs
Even if it does have it's issues still
Yeah i only started in df tho so havent played the old outlaw
did u play before the uuhu crackshot stuff
No
Cuz I’m goated no?
I see
Yeah but will be fine probably game still good
true
I'm having fun on farm playing some outlaw
This guy rogues
im sure the ace thing is a mistake and theyll bring it back as a proc
makes no sense
Even if its ass cuz bosses die in 5 seconds
my warr and paladin are on my 2nd account and I don't want to grab a sub for it rn
paladin should be at least 20-30
?
warr like 5-10
its just a lil oopsie zac
they didnt oopsie the math bro
wrote 4 instead of 5
its intended to be dogshit gameplay
it happens
theyll fix it in a season
they arent dumb enough to remove all the procs from the proc spec
DAMN thats dedication
bro i swear we have less reactive procs then normie specs now
idk a ton of specs have procs that aren't really critical to respond to in 1 gcd or just none at all
whats the addon
Account played
you have to log into each character that you want to check
I didn't log into everything, so my sub 5 days on a ton of classes aren't in
but idc rogue number is the only real number
i started in bfa i should say^^
I've been played this rogue since late burning crusade
im half your playtime lok
Weird optimization question: I’m at 5 combo points. Do I sinister strike to 6? Do I use my opportunity proc slightly overcapping, or send a finisher?
you probably play way more than me these days
My account was made in 2019 when I moved out my dad's house. All that data gone when I got my own account 
rip
what's your time played this level on your rogue? @vivid vessel
I'm sitting at 41 days 1 hours
definitely not a super high number for this expac
since I didn't do any serious key doing any season
ouch 116 days on this level xD
but im sitting alot afk in dorno tbf
I'm probably at 30 tbh
wonder how much of my playtime is afk time
especially in wod where I just had the game open constantly but only really interacted with it when an alert for the garrison whent off
?
guy do you even login
less than i thought ngl
fr
waht a casual
im ashamed to have other bars
but its over now
i have officially been accepted as a rogue one trick to my guild
i can play 5 rogues for splits
were you not a rogue one trick before?
yes
but they wanted other specs as alts
i had to play a bit of ww
and a bit of shaman
It doesn't seperate by specs can it? I want to know what my unholy/blood ratio is
thats annoying
and a bit of dh
i got 4 max lvl rogues, u ?^^
I had to log into my old rogue from when I played in tbc->cata to get it above priest hahaha
its a bit more common in high end guilds cause you need to cover more specs
and if everyone does the same as you and play one spec only
you are cucked a bit
?
why do you even speak in thjis discord bro
I wonder how many regulars have spent more time talking in here than they have spent playing rogue 🤔
oh I for sure have this xpac
I absolutely did this expac and df
show time spent on max lvl on your rogue
33 days
sometimes I wish your rogue main had to be linked with your discord in order to type
days sorry
thats not much
hours 
thats actually lower than I expected
a lot of my time this xpac was just afk in blitz/solo shuffle queues
fucking 45 minute queues man
0/10
I can do 2 keys max ever since s2 df then I log off or swap to dk
all casuals here
I did more delves than raids or mythics
im surprised
im not
I'm not
Uhuh sucked balls
yee
only for noobs
i bet he is undercover, he is that Mafic guy
Mafic is anti rtb
You couldn't pay me to slander RTB
ah im sry i dont know all your shit takes xD
🏄 🏄♀️
You anti rtb?
the new one, YES
yea boring af
ahaha ive never understood why he signs every post off with that, what does it even mean?
Someone should ask
i'd say ask him, but i wouldn't wish that fate on anyone

it's probably only to make himself memorable
it worked kinda
definitely can't forget him
I wish you could put filters on posts, like if someone doesn't have aotc or duelist or whatever, they can't comment on your post.
those are reasonable bare minimums to ensure that whoever you are engaging with at least plays the game enough to know how things might work
could push it higher for more serious discussions
unironically there should be a minimum competency level
A lot of the forum mains don't have either
less than 5% of the playerbase gets aotc, no?
or something liek that
lol
why the fuck would blizz balance / listen to 5%
what?
I've no idea. I just know people in the forums have nothing
no way
yes
u must log into main
none of this hiding on alts nonsense
does this include character or accounts
I don't even care about that, I just need mafic off the forums lolol
it's just so annoying trying to talk about what would be good for the game
or the kinds of tools a spec needs in raid
and someone who has never raided or played outlaw has a take for some reason
i c
and like there is some extent where you can
especially if your a legacy law player that just hasn't for a few tiers
but if you have literally never then idk
hi thats me
I wouldn't leave feedback for warlocks 🤷
idk he totally exposes himself when he said shit like "7 minute KIR cooldown is too long" it's stuff like that that makes him insufferable
blatant misunderstanding of the spec
or just trolling
I've only seen him have 1 not bad take and it wasn't even about outlaw
Insane track record
i'd be surprised if he even played KiR pre rework
does nothing but bgs, probably a HO enjoyer
and even if he didnt go bgs, still would've probably played HO
actively
what's that like, a one hundred thousandth of a percent of positive comments? 0.00001%
He's perpetually posting so yeah thats about right
that's a given
was it about best places to surf?
And outlaws
Guys im totally a rogue main
dafuq?
get out
you freak
In my defense thats since vanilla and i quit hunter when the sick nasty hunter dev killed the class in bfa
and came to outlaw 💀
outlaw was great in bfa
am also sick and twisted
bfa outlaw - sl outlaw was great
Talking about hunter guy
outlaw was also great in legion
yeah but i mean now, calm down^^
Outlaw is good now
and we are dooming alot for this state btw xD
well we would now build to that level of haste just to fix our energy
so there's that
I guess
hahaha
I mean we are back to the thing I feared and often brought up
we play like dirt without enough haste to fix it
haste having a rotational impact in the form of energy is bad and feels bad everytime for combat/outlaw
tbf first iteration of rtb being a talent was cool
especially after the reduced it to 5 dice from 6
great gameplay*
it was very undertuned the entire expansion
and even ate a nerf randomly while bad due to a legendary being strong for sub(the current best spec)
yeah maybe it was a mix of things around it that made it feel awk.
i think tww s2 was peak outlaw gameplay (except of the suicide killing spree thingy) it was a perma perma blast no other spec could any close get
unless you were one of the players with a significant mental block around just the idea of spending combo points on RTB I think if you enjoyed BFA you would enjoy 7.1.5 and later law in legion
Im trying to find an m+ group for midnight. What would be a perfect comp for outlaw? My thoughts are:
Guardian druid
Resto shaman
Outlaw rogue
Fury warrior
Windwalker monk
Is there a better melee comp?
there's a lot of ways to arrange those 4 classes, but those are our best buffs to make outlaw do more damage
but still depends on tuning, maybe hunter better
you wanna time keys, you dont want greatest overall
triple outlaw
fr
idk why but i love having ww monks. They are mostly dedicated players who crank hard af
just find your ppl, in the end its more about the gamer, instead his spec
if you know what i mean
bring the player not the spec
ye
and now look at it......

dragonflight classic cant come soon enough
dragonflight was unironically amazing
i think df was peak class design
Triple outlaw XD
i tried out assas and sub and they somwhow feel worse than outlaw rn, which is a truly impressive feat
Sin is hot garbage. Haven’t tried sub
Fixed but fatebound is still worse
This is fun, could you do the same concept but for defensive buffs?
nah u gotta go AA triple outlaw
oh pres can do poison woops
thot it was lil more grief
pala helps
blizzard sees the 40 adds alive and uncaps us shirley
based
what did they do to xalatath
idk its a western thing to make women as ugly as possible
?
starting with your mom noob
rekt
Idk
I think if u eat one u die
Did anyone try dying to it?
I mean eating it*
Ok
@vivid vessel my new pfp rate
Is it okay to use a dagger as an oh as outlaw?
A dagger offhand is ~1% better than a slow weapon mostly because of
Zero In, and also slightly more
Instant Poison procs. Energy is not affected by offhand speed.
It is possible large ilvl differences can matter more than this bonus so use
Raidbots Top Gear when in doubt.
thank you
Ya idk
I always end up going back to it
why is asmongold in the rogue discord?
?
Zach8910 on that fried arc rn
I think that was a joke
it shows the ability to edit settings but its not in addon
Try the minimap button
wangbar so stressful
it wasnt wang bar
when i reloaded a profile it killed the addon
i had to turn it back on to get icon to apprear effing blizzard
or user error lol

damn thats a lot of hours
into not rogue yes
I guess hours makes sense, i started rogue in OG tbc, then played DK in Wrath to cata then played warlocked from 2012 to SL then cameback as a rogue again
the less hours in rogue, the better you are
that's a cool addon! what is it, may I ask please?
thank you sir
40 days of Rogue
30 days of Warr
over the last year and a half
hot damn
glad it wasn't these hours in a game I started played after SL
Loser bro
Although my hours on rouge make me wonder If i deleted my OG rogue, from 2007
in 2 years then my orc rogue will be old enough to drink.....
I thought lock would be highest, but I basically quit lock between wod and SL.
And none of this is my pre-mop time, oof
Speakin of old rogue characters I got all of this stuff on my rogue 

I miss my wrath prepatch set.
Edude edude!
Every time I've logged on, I've had a tough time deciding between playing Bear or Rogue for the day and it shows.
dogue main
That's actually impressive
@proven ocean where are u man
I didnt see u for a long long time mate
Wondered about it
Zac wahts your thoughts about outlaw atm ?
Hé is Jellyfishing
well its the worse iteration we ever got
people keep saying its like sl but i wish it was like sl
sl had infinite energy, mfd, sbs, er rc leggo, dust
this is just poop no gameplay
yeah I think it's like SL without legendaries or covs
- we have the lowest bf cleave we ever had after spending an expac doing 0 aoe with legit 100% cleave bf
more comparable to like bfa
so good luck in keys
especially with the very high SS chance
Outlaw sucks
Maybe once they fix this spec+WA shenanigans i’ll come back
It's like SL while leveling before getting covenant abilities
Or legendaries
I feel like the spec does absolutely 0 dmg atm
Ion even care for the lost weak auras I just wanna hit harder than a pillow
Maybe a hot take. But I’m really enjoying my outlaw in pre patch. Can’t wait for midnight
do we still run, haven't played in a while
/cast [known: Hidden Opportunity, bonusbar:1] Ambush ; Sinister Strike
is it me or is outlaw kinda low on dmg in m+ right now?
pre patch?
apparently its bugged and is getting patched next reset?
It's patched now
yes
what gets fixed?
the bug fixes and tuning that are on beta rn are a net negative so
its a nerf
No way we're being nerfed when our dmg is already weak

i mean idk prepatch is different than beta
but also
being nerfed while already weak
has happeneed every season
this expac
so
not really out of the ordinary really
True that
I love looking at the tierlists content creators make
They're all putting outlaw at high a tier
Shits funny
Hi, I'm new to the Rogue Outlaw. I used to play Subt, and I have good stats for Rogue Outlaw, but my damage is very low compared to other classes. Is this because I don't know the rotation well yet? Or is Outlaw just weak?
Well I mean
What's your dmg like
And what ilvl
well that was before we got nerfed by 15%
15% is quite a big number
so
True
161 ilvl average damage in pulls is like 60-70k, single target 24k
It indeed is
is that m+ or raiding
thats just a random wcl raid picture
Yeah that's just the class being weak
itsn ot relevant
im just saying 15% aura nerf
gets you from being the best spec in the game
to the worse spec in the game
with one clean swoop
With maybe some rotation problems but shouldn't be huge
ty
hopefully the do some about it, got excited to play outlaw again
Hey, just wondering, are we doing potato damage on retail or am i just bad ? or maybe both ?
same boat here idk
any rogue blizzard layout to try on anywhere?

Do you guys like the new outlaw?
I need to test it but what exactly is the gameplay like now?
Is it more about hard hitting combo point spenders rather than spamming them constantly?
The fact half the people here are asking that question
Should tell enough
@mighty pivot is it just me or is our damage really poopoo peepee rn?
You just gotta scroll up a bit
Literally everyone's complaining
It ain't just you
someone hlep me, dmg low? 
previous outlaw was too fun to ever enjoy anything else, the gameplay was basically crack, figuratively and literally
our damage is popo
addicted
(poop)

so as someone who hasnt really played outlaw much since before the last rework, im enjoying it
but also I wasnt a fan of the whole stealth/vanish vibe
so the major bug was just a hero talent not working?
looking at logs
is so funny
33k dps for top 100 world on outlaw
but then a aff lock doing 86k is 99 parse
wait
were doing the same dps
as augmentation
oh god
What was our tier before prepatch?
I can't remember
The hero tree tier
I remember
Double coup
is Coup de Grace / Unseen blade something to keep track of, or if it procs it procs?
hey folks, what is good trinket to accompany antennas when i play m+ ?
@vivid vessel i found solo
WHATDEHELLY
this is the reason RAM costs skyrocketted btw
what no
its not ai
you stupid or what
you can clearly see its real lol
cant believe people that thinks everything is ai bro

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hi pirates
is there anything about pistol shot in outlaw other than use on proc?
with proc it always generates 4 cp
so just use ist between 1-3 cp
except when u have 6 stacks then use it immeadtly
for beta
same shit different day
when do i roll the bones
kir?
Hi im new to the spec i just dont understand if i need to press slice and dice or not. If not then i should press dispatch before anything or i just do the priority then i press dispatch to get slice and dice buff?
Dispatch gives you slice and dice
You don’t press SnD yourself ever really
You don’t need to press it take it off your bar
Dispatch is highest priority of your spenders when you do not have the SnD buff
if you play M+ it's ok to press slice and dice before the bubble drops at the start so you don't have to use a dispatch on the first pack
Thank you guys
do i ever use blade flurry for combo?
did u read the faq?
is there 1 for beta?
its the same beacause the apex talents do not alter ur gameplay
neither the hero talents
and solo literally wrote thinks like (beta-only) or (pre patsch- only) besides the notes
bye
Anyone on this ?
SH trinket
Scarlett hold?
Catolotl, now that's something certified real 💯
Soul Hunters, it's a boss from the raid
either if u want m+ only trinket I think the Ecodocome one is a good option
Ok thank you
cant wait for next weeks build, they are going to save outlaw
I mean i saw this 
wdym outlaw is perfect
Supposedly its damage is bugged
r u posting prepatch logs rn
bliz didn't elaborate what the bug was, but its bugged
as perfect as my stain ridden pants
ye since I thought you said it was worst than aug 
long story short:
they buffed us because we were underpforming (while we had major bugs)
they fixed the bugs
few days go by, ther revert the buff,
and the sickest paart of it iall
when they buffed us they cut our BF % by 10
when they reverted that buff, that only gave us 5% back for BF dmg
look at the bright side, we didn't get the Legion Pre-patch demo lock treatment 
well we dont get treatments mr gambit
weve had one iteration since week 1 of alpha, and it gave us a shit talent
thats true, and I mean the legion pre-patch was -35% damage to all skills
since they wanted to rework the class
dw we are getting huge gameplay updates before midnight
I'll keep playing this spec anyway no matter what they do
cause I hate myself
welcome to chamapion culb.
have you applied for the outlaw community ambassador position yet?
!awangui
I wonder what they do for ambassadors for WoW
i've been a ambassador for another MMO before, and ik they gave me free merch and stuff
except i doubt blizz would want me as a WoW ambassador I'm a filthly pvpe'r
And yet it's still by far the most fun spec 
duality of man
if you need me to start a change.org petition, dm me
i feel like increasing the bottom line by making AR permanent would have solved a lot
Would have decreased complexity
vanishing every 30 sec was great. We had so healing, so much cheap shot possibility
anyway, going to go mourn
gg
@gaunt phoenix
?!
i was summoned
we need a community ambassadopr role
idk what the ambassador thing will entail
Side note, did they fix Fatebound's auto attack
Ah I thought that was the upcoming fix on the 10th
you and me both brother welcome to the club
I feel that was the entire issue lol
but you have to understand the casuals with 1000000 posts on the forums LOVE this new version of outlaw!
outlaw was the PERFECT spec before
just woke up and im alrdy sad
to you
guys sign up to my 22 ara plz thanks
no it was objectively perfect by every conceivable metric by which u design a spec.
not every spec in the game has to be braindead easy some specs can be harder than others
was it though 
I disagree
well i disagree with ur disagreement
alright
ok cool
I hate plenty of what they do
Nuuh
i mean a spec that literally doesnt work on some bosses definitely isnt a perfect metric
ok now i want you to explain how this neutered scuffed ass version of pisslaw is better than the perfect gameplay loop of outlaw we had before. im not biased one way or the other i promise
no
the previous outlaw was basically unable to function outside of adrenaline rush
so a fight like tindral or dimensius where you had to fly around you are irrecoverably fucked
yes but ur kit allowed u to have it up most of the time
yea certain dungeon mechanics fcked u
but overall its worth it
ur kit doesnt allow anything in forced downtime
Idk what u mean
but if ur playing it good u shouldnt have much downtime
thats the point
ur always supposed to have it up most of the time
and u do
unless u die randomly
then ur fcked
But encounters force downtime sometimes
yeah depending on the dungeon and that can suck but its still worth it
I don't think that's worth it
better than being bored forever
Spec was literally unplayable on the last boss of the df mega dungeon
with a boring rotation

this is
permanent adrenaline rush being the baseline meant you could only go downward
there was no upside other than having fun mashing buttons
the spec could either function normally or be cucked by random inconveniences
The only upside to outlaws rotation was it was fun, if you liked it that is
I mean it had some real upsides like damage agency and some moderate amount of flexibility around when you used vanish windows but that was pretty minor compared to the downsides of uhuh
And not something this version of law couldn't have
If they didn't hate us
i keep doing Random Bgs, and holy crap there is so many sub rogues
all these rogues but me are sub
yes, vanish charges were great, and it would be even better if you were not forced to use vanish for adrenaline rush
assuming stealth was still worth a shit of course
These weren't real compared to an actual spec being able to move its damage, like sub
Yeah like DF s1/s2
using vanish or shadow dance only when you ran out of procs was pretty cool back then
I mean it was infinitely more real then what outlaws been able to do historically lol
Having damage agency is more fun and better design even if its not cd spec levels of agency
The worst part of New law is that when u pop off or when u do no damage is purely random with little to no player decisions being involved
Outlaws always some flavor of that but I prefer the option to add mild agency
me
i see
this zach guy is funny cuz i agree with him that this new version is piss comapred to before but then he is just basically wrong with how he frames it
banger no cap
I assumed that was trolling tbh
i think not trolling, hyperbole
he mostly believes it me thinks
also did an arcane beta key
fun spec
Arcane kind of felt like the closest a caster got to ranged outlaw back when you could random proc orbs
It was like the caster version of ace
it just spits out orbs now
like when you press orb with clearcasting u shoot out 3 more
I've been meaning to try arcane after changes, been trying out frost
But after recent tuning I'm expecting it to get gutted somewhere
Right, but even playing perfectly, the damage was on par with the average of other classes. Small iterations to decrease complexity could have brought more players in and balance the damage meters.
My biggest pet peeve were the ppl arguing to remove vanish rotation for thematic reasons. Having stealthy pirates popping in and out of fights is an awesome theme. I feel like outlaw casuals invaded the narrative, but iduno.
I agree, youre doing all this button mashing and optimizing ur rotation to do mediocre dmg compared to every1 else. The effort to reward ratio was way off, but thats just a tuning issue. The spec was still fun to play.
why tf they care about vanish on outlaw
who cares abt theme when the spec is super fun
I liked that vanish and shd were refills
Was an interesting gameplay loop
casual Rpers idk?
i mean i didnt care about vanish being used offensively too, its not like it rly mattered it looked cool to me
Buddy it's how half the player base is. Half of the hunter feedback forum in alpha/beta was people being mad they gave survival a gun.
I think theme matters to a lot of the player base lol
If sin rogue stops applying bleed and garrote, I think it would, rightfully bother people
outlaw already has sick ass gun sounds/animations, and i really love the rtb/kir sounds, vanishing doesn't really ruin it tbh
Theme is huge for a very large portion of the player base
And unfortunately they would rather have theme then improved gameplay or class mechanics
Giving outlaw another go, is it still a must to not use 2 daggers?
thats not rly a good comparison, youre still pressing everything u usually would on outlaw, and the vanish animation isnt rly that impactful to the theme, ur still pressing all ur outlaw buttons u usually press
this
ur still pressing everytrhing u usually would and the vanish animation doesnt take away from that and it looks cool to me
The pirate theme was always present. The diff was how aligned to the theme the combat rotation was. Now, its less aligned imo. Nothing piraty about just... hitting the target in front of you...
mainhand must be sword/fist/axe/mace
Idk
offhand dagger is good and better
now theres a tumbleweed when u bte so the theme is all over the place
gameplay>theme
might as well call it "not vanish" and give it the same effect
maybe that'd keep them happy
It probably would
But I also just didn't like the gameplay fundamentally of uhuh even if it was just a different button
I don't think it's that crazy to be somebody less invested in the spec to be like: "why is the pirate spec using vanish as a dps cooldown"
"why is outlaw using vanish more than the stealth spec"
I don't think these are unreasonable statements, even if it is true that outlaw has always used vanish offensively
yeh maybe so
i don't think it's impossible to keep the gameplay under a different name though
Outlaw kinda was the stealth spec, like, it had more interactions with stealth then either assa or sub no?
they 100% could of but ppl would still cry the spec is too hard
just wait until the expansion releases, all redditors are going to play rogue after the rework 
yeah i get it the barrier to entry was tough, and the spec was a harder to play compared to others, but now it takes u 30 min to learn a spec theres no learning anymore
no improving or seeing urself progress
that's an exaggeration
they did nothing to make the spec interesting to casuals tho
outlaw defo took long time to figure out ngl
and usually the rogue type has infinite players
not 30 mins
Outlawbotomized
they slowed it down
once u know it idk it feels simple
yeah but who cares
why would u play rogue over bm/ret or warlock
and you no longer hate yourself when you're out of adrenaline rush
But they didn't want to keep the gameplay.
but rtb container n shit doesn't really make sense to most people from the outside probably
because you find it fun
idk they could have just made it visually cool
and people would start playing it
Yes but like, CTO being better in stealth is a lot different than what uhuh caused
thats the thing, if ur playing the spec good u should rarely not have adr up
uptime specs really are annoying though
old icy veins frost mage had same downtime issue
even if it's fun, downtime/pauses/dying randomly totally kill it
like frost mage didn't have stealth, so if healer is drinking u just watch ur veins tick down
shit like that in keys or nokhud flying was ass
There's been a handful of uptime specs like this
it's kinda annoying i end up loving them all
But crackshot outlaw was the most extreme that ever existed for sure
There's nothing wrong with enjoying that style of gameplay
it can be frustrating yeah but its still addicting to play, now theres just no desire to play it
find something else
unfortunately wow dads cannot handle high apm specs
lol
so we're back to shadowlands outlaw pretty much
The spec is still high apm
but theres several low apm specs in the game for them to play
it is, but not as extreme
its not nearly as high as it was
i don't think it's bad either to have a super hard/fast outlier spec
I only tried outlaw on live prepatch and honestly it's pretty fun to play
except the energy starvation part
maybe cuz i only have like 22% haste but its slow wayy slower
well you no longer have perma adr
it just feels clunky and dull to me
so ofc it's slower
like something else in another class or spec
Completely transitioned to dk. All specs are so tightly designed.
Thats intended
assassination is intended to be a slow spec
I loved outlaw for years, then s3 DF happened and I didn't like how it played, rather than mulling over how depressed I am, I just started playing assa and sub for the time being
