Next they'll put KIR on GCD

#

And feitn back on

hasty warren
#

blizz don't play outlaw

winter cave
tired marlin
#

I guess wee need around 25% haste to have fun..?

winter cave
#

I'm hitting about 22% with flask atm it's okay-ish

#

will have to see in raid on wednesday

tired marlin
#

im constantly out of energy

crimson scarab
#

How much haste do you have

tired marlin
#

24%

winter cave
#

Are you sure you're not making mistakes like wasting opportunity procs

#

or building too much CP for dispatchj ?

crimson scarab
#

U shouldn’t be that energy starved

tired marlin
#

hmm probs rotation issues then

alpine smelt
#

Do you use blade rush on CD ?

winter cave
#

also blade flurry at 0 cp on cd in AoE in dungeons

#

It does happen for me to be starved in dungeons sometimes

#

but it's usually short

tired marlin
#

ja blade rush

winter cave
#

also running Flickering Steel instead of Thief's versatility helps

tired marlin
#

always on that boi

#

but okay could then just be rotation, good to know

crimson scarab
#

Consult the outlaw FAQ, everything is well explained there

mighty pivot
#

what now buddy

vivid vessel
#

nah its fine i actually didnt need you

#

i wanted to know if you could hook into a frame to know when the size change

#

the response took 5 min

#

in the wiki

#

so was alright

#

ty tho

past sphinx
#

whats our honest thoughts for outlaw so far?

balmy topaz
#

Gameplay it's personal preference

#

I prefer crackshot gameplay but

#

I liked perma AR

past sphinx
#

does energy starvation get better at 25% haste?

#

feels fkn awful to level with ngl

balmy topaz
#

Ye and with the right talents and haste it's fine

#

On Wednesday would you guys be running outlaw or sub for the raids?

#

I don’t imagine any other changes would occur until then

normal forge
#

i tried sub yesterday for the first time in the expac and liked how their apex talent works

dense bramble
#

i am undecided between rogue/fury/unholy/frost dk i want just fun to play / feel good rotation and high numbers in aoe/cleave and i am not sure where these specs sit in aoe/cleave dps does anyone have numbers? i want to run high myth+ keys mainly

tired marlin
#

AH

#

you can just cross rogue out

dense bramble

#

What’s the exact name of the addon because for some reason I can’t find atrocity essentials in curse forge

torn lichen
#

Isn’t that his paywalled shit?

earnest matrix
#

you get it as part of the UI bundle of atrocity (which is paywalled)

normal forge
#

is there a way to make keybinds to be spec specific?

crimson scarab
#

Oh shit didn’t know that

torn lichen
#

Yeah fuck him and that ui

crimson scarab
#

Then is it somehow possible to display the feint, evasion and cloak buff like that without the paywalled addon?

crimson scarab
#

it feels like im using a separate addon for every single icon on my screen

torn lichen
#

Well arc is full cdm

#

so you’d use it for all the cd tracking

crimson scarab
#

im using ayije cdm currently

earnest matrix
#

with ayije cdm i think you can setup different buff groups which can be positioned seperately

torn lichen
#

idk if that allows for what you want

#

Maybe someone else can help

#

Like when fient or cloak is active, i have the active icon floating right next to my toon

crimson scarab
earnest matrix
#

part of the overview: Buff separation - split buffs into separate groups with per group options/anchors

crimson scarab
#

yeah

#

i literally just figured it out

#

😄

earnest matrix
#

currently at work, so i cant really help in depth

#

but hit me up in like 6 hours if you're still struggling 😄

crimson scarab
#

im setting it up as we speak

finally it worked

#

thanks for the tips tho ^^

#

@mighty pivot

#

you there cuh

mighty pivot
#

@vivid vessel you there bruh

vivid vessel
#

so

#

do you know how devtool works or

#

or maybe its a lua question idk

#

when i add something in devtools

#

are the things inside it copies

#

or pointers

#

to things

#

you know what i mean or

mighty pivot
#

pointers basically

vivid vessel
#

ok

#

so i could open devtool and check something

#

and the things in the arrays could be different

#

than at the moment i added it

#

right

mighty pivot
#

It should update to changes. Or clicking the item should update it if it doesn't automatically

#

You don't need to readd

vivid vessel
#

i see ye

#

no lol its more like

#

i dont want it to update

#

in this situation

#

i wanted to see the state of something

#

at the moment i added it to devtool

mighty pivot
#

Does it update in between adding it and checking it in devtool? as in, will your frame change before you have time to check it in devtool?

vivid vessel
#

ye

mighty pivot
#

I never had need for this use case tbh. Why do you need that?

vivid vessel
#

eh its kinda whatever its just a curiosity thing

#

i have other ways to fix my problem

#

i wanted to understand better how it worked

mighty pivot
#

It might be easier to print the state you care about

vivid vessel
#

but i dont need to

#

ye

#

its just cause im trying to hook a weak aura to something in ayjee cdm

#

and obviously

#

i need to do it after the ayjee thing has been all setuped

#

so its a bit annoying

#

you get my use case

#

but ye i dont need it that much

mighty pivot
#

can't you just hook your shit after a function of that addon? Or is it not accessible?

vivid vessel
vivid vessel
#

you can hook to functions of an addon?

mighty pivot
#

if they are not private to the addon (they usually are)

#

unless it fires some custom event

left sequoia
#

hello all! are we getting another spark tomorrow?

mighty pivot
#

you get a spark every reset

left sequoia
#

we should craft weapons i imagine? 1 sword 1 dagger?

mighty pivot
#

offhand is whatever unless you also play dagger specs

#

Am I smoking crack or can hidden opportunity not still be decent even if it doesn’t double hit because of how much amp you can get on builders

keen belfry
gloomy adder
#

But with correct talents ar up and rtb 2 an ambush is doing 500 ap every time versus sinister strike doing 322 ap 70% of the time

#

Doesn’t make sense to me

keen belfry
#

Ambush no proc

mighty pivot
#

because it cannot double strike, ambush doesn't do that much more average damage than SS, and you don't get that many casts anyway because they nerfed both the proc rate from fth and subterfuge is dead

keen belfry
#

There is more to builders than just their AP mhm

#

Nice nr well said

gloomy adder
#

explains reasoning why it could mathematically work despite not double striking
it’s bad because it can’t double strike

Aye well said

#

No offence

keen belfry
#

Big

keen belfry
vivid vessel
#

and then weak aura for my ressources

mighty pivot
#

You spend 2 talent points to only rarely do more spender damage

vivid vessel
#

and all the little fun things

keen belfry
#

Nice I may try it tn

vivid vessel
#

i still have things i dont like about it

gloomy adder
vivid vessel
#
  • you cant center the duration text on buff bars
  • you cant change individual colors of buff bars
  • you cant only show buff icon when missing
  • you cant remove the colored overlays on cooldowns (out of range, out of energy, not usable etc)
  • the sizes are sometimes restricting, 20px for icons for example can be too big in certain cases
  • you cant to anchor things to whatever we want
#

and also

gloomy adder
#

Clearly the only thing I can do is test it more in game

vivid vessel
#

this

#

cause its cds he created himself

#

and i guess skill issue

#

for charges its greyed out

#

even tho i have a charge ready

#

you could instead do that with another cdm group

#

but cdm does not track dwarf !

#

how silly of blizzard !

gloomy adder
#

Btw am I being a dipshit or how is audacity proc rate nerfed when you’re perma 70% opportunity with new rtb

#

Was it really higher than 70 I can’t remember

mighty pivot
vivid vessel
#

you dont have 70% chance to proc

mighty pivot
keen belfry
vivid vessel
#

its 70% of idk how much chance we have rn

#

50% or smth

keen belfry
#

Isn’t HO 80%

#

Or am I misremembering

vivid vessel
#

fuck if i know

#

need to read the talent for that

#

i aint hovering ho

gloomy adder
gloomy adder
keen belfry
#

One FTH?!

#

One fth ho build needs to be released to the public

gloomy adder
#

It sounds weird yeah but it actually makes the rotation feel kinda good because you can stack and cast multiple pistol shots consecutively

#

I have probably cooked too hard but it feels decent to me

#

Being able to cast 2 pistols in a row because helps guarantee ambushes btw

keen belfry
#

You can do that as 2 fth tho

#

Pistol shot stacks “twice” with 2 fth

gloomy adder
#

Can waste cps though whereas with 1 fth you never do

keen belfry
#

You can just presss pistol shot then finisher then pistol shot

gloomy adder
#

One of the goals here is more energy efficiency

keen belfry
#

I think you’re looking at this very short sighted

gloomy adder
#

In the sense that with a bit of haste we’ll probably never have energy problems you’re probably right hahah

mighty pivot
#

Spending FtH twice in a row as HO is only 80% chance to get audacity (1- 0.44^2)

gloomy adder
#

Are you sure

#

It’s your ss opportunity proc rate it matches not ambush

keen belfry
#

There may be some cooked ass builds dmg dmg wise that feel “better” energy wise and if that’s what u want all power to ya cuh

#

But this build sounds like it’s gonna be 20% behind

gloomy adder
#

With talents fatebound and rtb your ss opportunity proc rate should be 70%

gloomy adder
#

I’m just interested in ideas that sound a bit fucking stupid ngl

keen belfry
#

We all played 1fth last season

#

It was dmg gain for reasons you are not talking about/removed from the game

#

Fan the hammer worked differently before and we had to take precise cuts = could take 1fth

gloomy adder
#

Hindsight is 20/20 obviously

#

Go back in time and explain it to everyone before people understood

keen belfry
#

What does that have to do with anything I just said

#

Are we just giving out sagely advice rn

icy cedar
#

i just found blizzard's text to speech cdm alerts

#

roll the bones between the eyes

#

thank you microsoft sam

old cobalt
#

i always played assa or sub in the past years, what exactly is outlaw holding back ? i would love to finaly try it out

gloomy adder
#

Sorry if it was unclear the point I’m trying to make was that I remember people saying 1 fth sounded dumb when people first started trying to explain why it was good last season

#

So explaining in detail why it was correct misses the point

icy cedar
keen belfry
icy cedar
#

ass is behind

old cobalt
icy cedar
#

yes

old cobalt
#

no diff ?

gloomy adder
#

It’s apparently good

#

Better even?

old cobalt
#

damn

#

crafted a dagger already thats why i ask

gloomy adder
#

Read upwards a bit Zac was talking about this earlier today

keen belfry
mighty pivot
#

Also when you account for energy cost, ambush is only like 20% more efficient damage dealer than SS (ambush 5,56% per energy point, SS 4.62%)

keen belfry
mighty pivot
ornate heathBOT
#

A dagger offhand is ~1% better than a slow weapon mostly because of cs Zero In, and also slightly more instantpoison 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 Raidbots Top Gear when in doubt.

gloomy adder
#

Obviously a lot of things that sound stupid actually will be stupid but that’s the fun of theory crafting isn’t it

old cobalt
gloomy adder
keen belfry
#

I see, but yes trading 1 fth for precise cuts made sense. Trading 1 fth for HO in 2026 doesn’t ya know

#

But gg good chats

gloomy adder
#

I guess it’s just doomed because talent tree, only other thing you can drop if you want 2 fth is dragonbone dice which doesn’t seem worth

#

Feel like pure shit lads just want hidden opportunity back

why havent they fixed grappling hook yet

should I craft a dagger OH as first craft if I plan to play all specs?

mighty pivot
zinc briar
#

@vivid vessel what do u think about dispatch with 5cp instead of getting 7

normal forge
#

our problem starts when we get "one of a kind" as our RTB buff, we are too weak with that buff, and not strong enough with "jackpot", imo.

proven warren
#

i feel that, feels like i do healer dps with one of a kind but not as strong as Thanos with jackpot like in the past

hasty warren
wintry solar
mystic berry
#

There will be bad rolls and good rolls

#

otherwise there is no point in the rng

potent ore
# vivid vessel

perfect, then we can craft outlaw weapon, and if they suck, dagger from 2nd boss it is

proven warren
#

my only gripe with RtB is it being a gcd, i feel like it would help a bit with it being off

mystic berry
#

im convinced that sleight of hand is pure placebo

#

And no one can convince me otherwise

normal forge
#

yeah, some of our talents should make us able to always get level 2 or up on rtb buffs

mystic berry
#

prep and rtb have no place being gcd

#

Its abysmal design

proven warren
#

its still better than old RtB where you had to spend combo points on it as well, man what a time

for me undermine season, s2, was the giga chad epic edition of outlaw

#

is there any like analyzer to show if im doing okay in dungeons? i know m0s arent that serious but im new to it all and wanna make sure im not playing like fundamentally wrong. idk if you can even use overall dmg done at the end of a dungeon bc of variance and all but i just did a magisters terrace and had 55k overall dps

mystic berry

Your best benchmark is "can I beat mages in long fights?"

since every group has a mage now

it hasnt been for quite some time im pretty sure

last time I used it for outlaw was back in SL

im starting to doubt myself, i dont know if i wanna play law anymore after playing sub yesterday

crimson scarab
#

i think outlaw is a lot of fun

crimson scarab
#

and law dmg is quite good currently

#

in m0s

mystic berry
#

After doing a single dungeon as sub and nearly falling asleep

#

for me sub is super boring, same as sin

#

i only play sub for pvp

I wouldnt be impressed rn

at the end of the day, just play whatever is more fun to you 😄

mystic berry
gloomy adder
crimson scarab
#

its still so early to say if sub will so much superior to law or vice versa

#

raiding hasnt started

#

m+ hasnt started

#

its purely speculation

cursive gyro
#

On beta outlaw was king. Using this information I will bandwagon outlaw until next expac.

gloomy adder
#

Sims say outlaw better at 250 and 290 but don’t trust the robot

normal forge
cursive gyro
#

You know why outlaw didn't get patch notes? You can't fix perfection.

crimson scarab
gloomy adder
#

They ruined sub yeah

crimson scarab
#

outlaw is more dynamic and it just appeals more to me

gloomy adder
#

The only fun bit of sub was lining up cds intelligently and that isn’t even a thing any more

crimson scarab
#

as far as im aware for sub, you need to ideally allign stech with dance

mint ether
#

which is brainless

#

it's one button on a short cooldown

gloomy adder
#

Couldn’t put it better myself

normal forge
#

i dont think they ruined sub, the good thing about sub is u can plan your CD very well, u can delay to use in the right window, so you can plan, not just react to "oh this btn is up for clicking",

U can deicide, do i want to wait for two stacks or dance or not? should i save this for burst phase or not,

and in raids, when u know the avg time ur guild is killing bosses u can plan exactly when to use ur cds

gloomy adder
#

You simply save stec for your next dance and never use it not in dance it’s not cerebral in the slightest

How do we feel about the petko build in m+? Dropping ace entirely for the left side talents

but if we drop ace you cant get grand melee?

How would you get grand melee from ace you don’t want 2 point in it anyway

#

Haha

mystic berry
normal forge
# cursive gyro

i dont know, i feel like dropping zero in is not a good idea

mystic berry
#

No wonder he rated us so low

gloomy adder
# cursive gyro

Looks even worse than the hidden opportunity build I’m trying to cook

mystic berry
#

Guy made the worst possible build

cursive gyro
#

Sims better than standard.

mystic berry
#

@gaunt phoenix come here

crimson scarab
#

ill sim it now and see whats the difference for my rogue

cursive gyro
#

Yeah if it's trash it's trash but I've run it a bit and it feels nice.

normal forge
#

there is no ace

wintry solar
#

I like how I don't run out of energy unless I die or fuck up

normal forge
#

that build kinda favors cp builders instead of finishers

mystic berry
#

Yeah, nah, not taking the opinion of petko over the rogue disc tcers

gloomy adder
#

I refuse to believe 2 points heavy hitter is better than ace and zero

#

That can’t be real

gaunt phoenix
#

It's not that bad with very low crit

crimson scarab
#

i also would find it super odd

gaunt phoenix
#

But going the crit should be the way

cursive gyro
#

Yeah. I think it would fall off hard as we get gear.

normal forge
#

on his build he is creating synergy between flickering steels and find an opening, and forgo zero in , crit on bte and ace for that

cursive gyro
#

But until end of s1 it'll at the very least be close.

quiet ore
#

it basically never gets to stack to max, no?

mystic berry
#

This is anti apex no?

#

You are not stacking first apex point as much

#

without ace

cursive gyro
#

If anything it leans into apex more

normal forge
#

yeah, apex benefits from ace , i guess

gloomy adder
#

Surely it still gets a fair amount of stacks any time you don’t reset cd because you have so much attack speed

#

And when it does reset it’s great but it’s not exactly reliable

mystic berry
#

A reset is a reset, you will be getting less stacks

crimson scarab
#

for my toon, the petko build is 56,6k dps and with zero in and ace 58,3k

mystic berry
#

Like solo said, you probably have more crit than camby

crimson scarab
#

so the bte focused build is better

mystic berry
#

Hence why he simmed better

crimson scarab
#

i have 25% without any buffs

mystic berry
#

And you worse

cursive gyro
#

Think I'm running 22% crit atm

normal forge
#

so it will most likely favor that

mystic berry
#

how? petko dont change rotation

#

It just takes out ace proc

cursive gyro
crimson scarab
#

i did my sim also with 0 bufs and not a single enchant/gem

#

that can also play a role

QQ in M+. should outlaw prio blade flurry over SS/Opportunity for combo point generation in packs, or do you only press it when aoe buff drops off?

gloomy adder

Surely there’s something to be said for reaching a guaranteed crit on bte

gaunt phoenix
#

it's +10% crit only

Yeah but combined with zero in

#

its just kinda lame that we cant use it as our offhand later on because daggers are actually better in the OH

stoic wagon
worthy surge
#

just craft a dagger

#

at that point

prisma lantern
ornate heathBOT
#

A dagger offhand is ~1% better than a slow weapon mostly because of cs Zero In, and also slightly more instantpoison 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 Raidbots Top Gear when in doubt.

stoic wagon
#

It’s only 1%

frail veldt
#

its not like sub

#

where its like a 5+% loss

#

to use a slow offhand

prisma lantern
#

1% is kind of a lot.

worthy surge
#

I mean even at current ilvl its over a 1k diff in the sim which is actually more than 1%

frail veldt
#

could you link that sim?

worthy surge
#

I just simmed dungeon slice on raidbots you can do it its not difficult

stoic wagon
#

It depends what’s is your goal

stoic wagon
#

Do you want to clear hm week one or on multiple weeks

#

Not same need d

frail veldt
#

yeah that looks right

worthy surge
#

its definitely enough to warrant a dagger over a slow weapon

frail veldt
#

depends what you have available

#

you can outweigh that 1% with not that much ilvl difference

#

or better stats

#

you definitely shouldnt be ignoring slow weapons for your offhand

#

at least we can mog the dagger back to a sword worst case lol

calm osprey
#

Any idea why Larias' Raider's guide section on crafting specifically says Outlaw rogues should check their discord, as if we aren't just crafting a weapon like everyone else?

worthy surge
#

a 217 dagger sims higher than a 237 slow weapon

#

in my offhand

frail veldt
#

yeah so if you have a myth crafted slow weapon itll be worth using in offhand probably

#

though tbh spending a craft on offhand in general isnt that worth

frail veldt
#

also for topics like grimmgrin is talking about

worthy surge
#

Im pretty sure my next craft is an offhand dagger

frail veldt
#

where if you do any time playing sub/assa

#

then you might consider crafting other things

worthy surge
#

I dont think so

frail veldt
#

I mean tbh a lot of the outlaw players in here arent crafting slow weapon first haha

#

theyre just doing dagger

worthy surge
#

if a 20 ilvl difference is still 0.3% ahead of a slow weapon

cinder relic
#

Offhand dagger is a bad craft unless u intend to multispec

frail veldt
#

if I were a raider and I thought I would be playing sub/assa some of prog

#

Id just craft dagger

#

and hope to loot slow mainhand

#

but yeah if you hard main outlaw then your crafts are prob slow mainhand then boots/belt or whatever we find out sims best as next

#

def not dagger 2nd

worthy surge
#

this is logic I dont really understand by the time you get your first M+ vault you have your third craft available

frail veldt
#

so regardless of drops a dagger is a bad 2nd craft

worthy surge
#

whats the margin of difference

frail veldt
#

idk youd have to sim it

#

its been this way for a while so I dont know the numbers exactly

carmine mountain
#

boots or ring for 2nd craft right?

frail veldt
#

only some of our abilities use offhand weapon damage iirc

#

dispatch, ss, etc use only mainhand

#

bte/ps use combined

#

from the man himself

keen belfry
#

How much agi does a weapon have relative to other slots? I rememebr it was way lower than I would’ve guessed

frail veldt
#

its super low yeah

#

cuz weapons are about weapon damage for melee classes

keen belfry
#

Like it was less than gloves or something like that

frail veldt
#

as opposed to casters who have giga mainstat

#

but yeah since our breakdown has bte/ps as much lower than in tww our offhand ilvl lost some value

worthy surge
#

I mean I guess thats the argument for why youd craft an armor piece because the agi is more important and you dont craft a piece that could potentially get replaced with tier

frail veldt
#

yeah exactly

keen belfry
#

Given stats I wonder if we will craft a crit haste ring soon

frail veldt
#

so for hard outlaw main its mainhand->off pieces

#

yeah you might target pieces that dont exist in the loot pool

keen belfry
#

I’m gonna make my guild give me the 300 haste ring

worthy surge
#

its gotta drop first

#

#

"very rare" even

keen belfry
#

Ty

unkempt dew
#

Is there a 300 haste ring?

zinc briar
#

!stats

ornate heathBOT
#

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah im a little worred about some dungeons like AA where our target cap is gona really hurt us

frail veldt

Does the sim accurately do sleight?

#

I thought we kinda didn't know

keen belfry

I don’t think we know yet

#

It used to be a pinned message

#

Things may have changed since then but I’ve been running sleight all xpac

worthy surge
#

idk but find an opening feels really good on longer encounters with high uptime I guess you could drop it if theres downtime due to specific mechanics I could see that

keen belfry
#

I think my sleight build was specifically aoe so we could get capstones easily

#

I don’t remember if I brought it up for st

#

It also allows for 2 dispatcher + prep and kir

#

In ST

#

This or 2 Ace, I run 2 Ace for vibes too

worthy surge
#

idk I really like FaO I wish I could be specced into it all the time

keen belfry
#

It’s biggest issue is it’s behind 2 heavy shitter points

#

It’s a good talent

potent ore
#

so outlaw is crafting boots right

frail veldt
#

Yeah but as a 3 point talent essentially it's not great

keen belfry
#

But I’d rather have dispatcher and sleight than 2 heavy farter

frail veldt
#

Esp in aoe

keen belfry
#

Mhm

mystic berry
#

Heavy hitter being 2 pts mostly make me seethe due to fao

worthy surge
keen belfry
#

That’s what I run I run 2 ace

#

But it’s not really better, I think 2 ace is a small loss but I like it

worthy surge
#

I mean the main advantage I see with this is that you can hybrid a bit if a fights not fully aoe not fully st you could go dancing steel as well

!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.

keen belfry

You will chose between the movement speed or deft

worthy surge
#

true

yeah were just back to the full aoe build at that point basically

keen belfry
#

Solo won’t be happy with spreading the 2 ace build

#

So don’t run it

worthy surge
#

on pure ST i dont see myself not running FaO unless we somehow get more energy gen

#

due to some change

keen belfry
#

2 dispatcher helps with energy tho

patent totem
#

!wa

ornate heathBOT
keen belfry
#

And with sleight u may get more 3s/4s buffs

worthy surge
#

3s and 4s only help with energy gen in the sense that you get AR back faster and spend a gcd on BR more frequently

keen belfry
#

Which is more energy mhm

worthy surge
#

but Ive hit dummies where im on a 3 or a 4 and im out of energy

#

and it feels terrible

#

without FaO

keen belfry
#

That happens every build

worthy surge
#

and im literally praying for a proc on every ss

keen belfry
#

You still have like 60% proc

#

It ain’t like before

worthy surge
#

yeah I understand what youre saying but ive legit sat on the dummy for like over an hour straight multiple times and it feels way better with FaO than without

#

granted no encounter is ever going to be an hour

#

with 100% uptime

#

but I feel the difference

keen belfry
#

It’s all preference

#

What’s your build? The faq one?

worthy surge
#

yeah both my builds are the standard ones but with thief's instead of flickering

keen belfry
#

Run flickering and try out the energy then cuh

worthy surge

I mean maybe flickering with 2/2 dispatch

#

idk it really does sound like a preference at this point

cinder relic

it's about the journey, not the destination Okay

dawn tundra
#

Or is it one-in-the-same?

cinder relic
#

It's already hard to suggest a bis list in general, and even mroe so when ur spec has "breakpoints" u need to optimize around

#

Bis is only bis when U have you know, fully upgraded mythic gear

#

Until then, u might need a diff set of items/enchants/etc to get the haste requirements on gear

#

solve todays problems, not tomorrows problems

dawn tundra

That's the thing, though. I'm not doing Mythic.

cinder relic

While outlaw is fine, and there are raid bosses with that fight style but depends on how much adds will last, if its only Shadow Dance + Sec Tec and they are dead, no way outlaw shines

Adds will always eventually die fast as shit

lime lake
#

good thing you have prep to burst them down now

fathom bramble
#

yeah outlaws style of aoe is very rarely present in raid

lime lake
fathom bramble
#

it's why we were so good in keys initially since aoe for most classes was balanced around raid

#

and BF needs to be quite good to compete in raid aoe and that results in insane key damage

#

nowadays we just kind of don't do raid aoe instead to ensure our key damage doesn't go insane 👌

keen belfry
#

Passive cleave is a gift and a crutch

dusk dew
#

Hello! sorry if this has been asked before, but any recommendation for crafted weap/gear for outlaw? or do we hold the sparks for now?

keen belfry
#

U kinda can’t balance it!

fathom bramble
#

our 2/3 target is also dramatically weaker than before so it's a bit worrisome

fathom bramble
frail veldt
#

if we still had PC we could be in a really good position for raid

keen belfry
#

Pc was also a gift and a curse

dusk dew
keen belfry

We had to play 1fth because PC existed

fathom bramble
#

to be fair PC was still quite strong

#

needing some kind of damage tradeoff to get it was probably a good thing

vivid forge
fathom bramble

probably better than sub, but not exceptionally strong in the grand scheme like we would have been in previous tiers

120% BF was sick

2 target BF is all the way down at 36% now so

Don’t make me doom lok

craggy barn

theres a shield u gotta crush in that fight, maybe sub is just better bc of that pepw

sub the notorious shield destroyer

vivid forge
craggy barn
#

shrug

#

could be a pain in mythic idk

frail veldt
cinder relic
#

And for reference, sin deals less damage on 3 targets, than outlaw does on 2

#

Outlaw is so clearly the best spec on that fight

#

Unless the avenging wrath damage amp is that valuable, there's like, no reason to play the other specs on that fight atm

fathom bramble
#

avenging wrath damage amp is only 20%

#

while outlaw is clearly the best rogue spec on the fight I think there is a very real chance that specs with even better 2/3 target cleave and spread cleave will take the crown here

#

I'm imagining something like that council fight at the start of DF where all 3 rogue specs were just bad

cinder relic
#

Well sure but Ur always playing a rogue

#

The context is what rogue spec r u playing

fathom bramble
#

true

cinder relic
#

I'm not saying outlaw is going to be a 5 of on the boss

But if rogue is played, u have to pick a spec

That spec isn't sub

Doesn't really change the facts of the matter tho

being 4% ahead on paper on 3 targets probably doesn't mean people will play it for 1 fight

Why ppl cry about outlaw, I think its not that bad, probably top 6-7 of dps atm. Middle of the pack kinda thing

sterile dune

It will get better when they buff it

cinder relic

And the fight is 2 target a fair amount

#

It's probs like, my guess is like 70% 3 and 30% 2

Sub is single target and aoe, but worst spec for cleave

Even assa does better cleave

I'm just skeptical that being ~5% behind(trickster dungeon build) us is enough to make sub unplayable on the fight

and all classes should have a specific spec good at different things to be playable on all kinds of M+ keys

and raid fights
