isn't it less procs unless you start putting 2 points into it?
yes but we are forced to put 2 points into it
hello gamers am I smoking crack or did they change the audio balance for all of outlaws gunshots sometime between now and mid TWW?
does come at the cost of another talent tho so
They all seem incredibly low audio compared to all my other rogue sfx
i havent paid much attention but its possible
they changed some gun stuffs
bte has a projectile now for example
Blade flurry is like 4x the volume of BtE I haven't played Outlaw since mid TWW and I feel like I am taking crazy pills
its not going from 5 to 6
its going from 5 to 3
to 6
you dont really have a choice
ace is quite strong
its per combo point
yes we are talking per cp obviously
idk doesnt feel like it to me
seems fine
is 6% 4cp for 2pts worse than 5% 2cp for 1 pt
prolly
lol
yeah im leaning towards yes
which means this will likely be a damage nerf
at least to me it seems that way
probably minor like 1-2%
itll depend on your rtb no?
when I refer to damage nerf im referring to overall
across thousands of iterations
we'll just need to sim
best above 90th percentile lets goooo
what's the difference between average and very average
its bottom
guy just doesnt like saying that
i can translate for you tho
my guild hasnt decided on the rogue spot in prog yet
well you need one
im trying to convince them on atro
or so poeple think
its a huge psyop campaign
thats what i'm banking on as well
Well, rogue isn't literally the bottom
But its like, basically there
Oof its gotten worse
the other bottoms at least have options
WERE GETTING BUFFS BOYS
also

you saw it here first
i said it was a dogshit outlaw boss
and a good sub boss
people didnt believe me
sorry that was boss damage, here same
wrong prep usage
I think assa is gonna be better on that boss tbqh
cope
for the people that will tell me you need cleave or whatever
maybe
I think P3 is gonna be the check
byut the timers are better for sub in hc
and Sin beats P3
for right now*
or well
when i watched liquid in normal
it aligned better
idk if its different
timer wise
that chart is based on one outlaw parse though
in hc and mythic
so
Hey at least outlaw has a strong tier and scales really well with secondaries
I think we could only possibly go up from here
its just one parse
Tbh
:D
people dont know
i know how outlaw works
and having 2x 1min downtime phases
is not good for outlaw
who could have known !
idk thats pretty complex
idk
for some reason
people told me i was wrong
??
outlaw is unplayable on the boss wiht infintie downtime ??
no waeee
looks like my first alt to lev up will be my SP. holy crap.
i've only done it on normal, and you're linking damage to bosses only
and while it's bottom, there will always be a bottom it' snot atrociously bad compared to most specs
but those at the top
but i get it. while we sit there staring at her for a minute during intermission, my raid leader lets me sing the "this part of the fight is called fuck outlaw in particular" song
i linked both lol
cause i knwe you guys would do that
pad dmg on the little droplets in first phase doesnt really mean anything
also wdym its not atrociously bad compared to most specs
theres infinite until you kill the void guys
and why does it always have to be outlaw bottom on important bosses xd?
its the same every tier btw
because its designed poorly for their fights
the way they like to design final fights usually has downtime or big movement and flashy "phases"
doesnt need to tho
outlaw is never gonna work properly for encounter design like blizz loves to do
also i dont even get why this boss has downtime
its legit just an afk phase
with boss in front of you
its silly
they like those
ye but there is no point this time
do u guys wanna know what boss fucking blows
chimmamyereus
that intermission is ulgrax levels of bad
guys
how illegal would it be
do do m0 and leave after 2nd boss
i think i need to start doing that but im not a bad guy i swear ..
doodoo m0
What about that node that helps with downtime? Doesn't really help does it?
Reported
wheres the friday buff?
its not designed to help with downtime
idk who made that node
completlyu clueless
it probably needs like a 500% buff right?
soon
it needs to be reworked and ssay "Adr gain an additional charge"
thats what it needs
to work for downtime
gz
was a good look tho
wtf
you sent it to narnia
rogue designer playing lol
zac
i hope like
idk what’s like an inconvenience to french people
i hope the next baguette you get is stale
D:
I am sick of maintaining BF
Can’t we have a talent that like
We gain 0.5 sec of BF for each CP spent
eternal recurrence of the same
Ace Up Your Sleeve proc do i use it immediately or i builld 6 cp and than?
Build to 6
why is the vessel of tortured souls simming so highly on bloodmallet, is it actually worth using
why can’t we just have what sub has
they literally have bf
basically
I mean if you can collect all those tiny green balls in the mess that is blue spell casting, you can rock it.
lol sub has like no cleave
2 target cleave literally doesn't exist outside of your supercharged eviscerates
The trickster ability the evolves your eviscerate is what I meant, I don't remember the name of the actual ability
and ye it almost has the same 2 target cleave as outalw and assa
i mean once it get 4p its prollly the same
I'm not home, would anyone be able to see if/confirm if this works for outlaw https://youtu.be/A0nrrkI2f38?si=uQp7MFDBnGnxmvr1
lol fair, rogue class designers are doing outlaw dirty
Well yeah sub has almost no 2 target cleave and we just have really bad 2 target cleave
Bf nerfs and no pc has left us kind of bad at any count that isn’t 7-8 or 1
gonna try, I usually run around the bend and the grapple to top
you are meant to tell me that nerfing bc and removing pc had an impact on outlaw cleave ??
or if I have 2 hooks its whatever
aint no way
outlaw is now one of the worse cleave spec in the game ?
after we reduced bf from 50 to 30 ?
aint no way
no but you dont understand
when we aura buff the spec by 10% we need to remove 10% from bf
it make sense
thats how it works
dw about it
@fathom bramble
can you believe
that
we actually removed another niche of outalw
if you take current outlaw
put it in tww s3
we arent even good on council

am i wrong tho
Buff rogue
its not about tuning tho
It is what it is
rogue still exists ?
Maybe they buff bf back up
But without pc idk how they can ever make us good on 2-3 without being keystone gods
How many hours until buff notes again?
you cant just remove an outlaw niche per expansion
and never improve on its damage profile
while every other spec in the game does
and just call it unlucky tuning
every tier
i mean bro
they cant
outlaw has not done real aoe in keys forever
We doin 2pt in ace now?
only time it was good aoe was when we were bug fixed
the removal of PC will probably leave outlaw in a fucked state indefinitely
until giga nerf right after cause that was an accident
pc was fucked tho
its kinda impossible to balance now
it needed to be removed
either they balance around our target cap
it was poorly managed
than pc bf
why do you think pc bf is easier to tune
if youre gona leave a spec target capped like outlaw
it makes bf so bonkers in low target cleave its impossible to look normal
more knobs is usually easier
thats cuz pc was overtuned
nah idk i disagree
and the idiots over there tried to fix it by nerfing bf
well how would you even balance it now
how can we be good on 3 target
without being GIGA at 8 target
like its literally impossible with the current setup
Pc gave them the ability to actually tune is at diff counts with very simple math
we are as bad on 3 target than we are on 8 tho ?
literally this
Just have a scaling buff like disc priest.....damage scaled based on target....oh wait that was PC...lol
do we scale with more targets ?
if we were top tier at 3 target WITHOUT pc
then what would we be at 8 target
we scale linearly with target count from 3 to 8
nah bruh a terrible 3 target cleave spec thats hard capped at 8? actual fried
every target is the same damage added
Mm doesn't though?
plenty of specs just get more damage
mm doesnt what
Did not a similar group of people not complain that PC made the spec awful to balance because of how good it was at raid cleave, vs dfungeon cleave
I swear to god it was mewo and zac complaining the literal EXACT opposite last expac
that was me
it led the dummies at blizz to do dummy things
no
Scale on target counts?
I think PC was an important thing they SHOULD HAVE used correctly to balance outlaw
i said pc was bad, and i still stand by that
The issues with pc should have been fixed by changing how it worked
Not deleting it
its a bit more nuanced than us saying pc is hard to balance so why do we hate that its gone
i think pc was just bad for outlaw
it made it looks crazy in raid cleave
and blizzard cant tune around that
its quite hard to balance
btw whu there is not two tuning for PvE ? for raid and m+
how can u possibly be hard capped at 8 targets and bad at low target cleave
ritual
and were still not even good at our target cap haha
thats actually an insane sentence
so
What is “pc”?
Precise Cut
even if we were "good" at 8 we still might not be good at 3 lol
former Talent
Aah thanks!
only target capped spec in the game btw
Nice
its okay cuz its an outlaw tier
Haha marksman hunters are having a great time i see
they always have stuffs that arent
that are a significant part of their breakdown
every tier
its something dff tho
idk what it is rn
havent checked
but we would be better
im sure having a 50% flurry
wouldnt break the game rn
especially when you are target capped
Atleast we are having fun right?
I mean I think it's pretty clear outlaw is undertuned, question is how to fix
Can't they just let SuperGrok balance rogue at this point? It's clear the rogue designer just puts no effort in for like 4 expansions now lol
not really
rampage cleave isn't even hardcapped anymore
Not sure if Blizz agrees
wait it isn't?
no clue what rampage is
Vessel of Tortured Souls is bis?
woooowwww thats what i was thinking of being hardcapped
If you run around and pick up all the little orbs it drops sure
was that changed in midnight
we would be better for sure yeah
yes
I mean, you can get your own soul back, why wouldn't it be bis?
soft at 5 is basically worse than hard at 8
But what does blizzard say about the hard cap?
yeah wars like to spread this false narrative that theyre target capped
Kinda sim bait. Assumes you pick up all the orbs.
cuz they dont actually know what a hard cap is
but its literally just them lying to your face
I mean when it comes to gaining damage on these big pulls soft at 5 is just better
i mean if it goes from 5 hard cap to 5 soft cap
eeeeh it can be
sure
for ww it is
its free
but for fury its not
And those orbs are not easy to see during a raid boss
what
why would it be different for certain stuffs than other
its just how it is no?
that's what I was looking at, tbh i never noticed the orbs until recently
i thought it was just passive
cuz its what percent of their damage comes from those softcapped 5 abilities
Nothing's easy to see during the raid.
Purple on purple in purple. 💤
but that ability would just do more damage in almost every scneario if it was harcapped at 8 ?
fury has had uncapped and softcapp at 8 litteraly every tier
they should've just made the vessel function like antennae did and have the orbs float towards you
oh well
i cant check beta logs anymore so
I think it would depend on the dungeon and the pulls/routes whether soft cap 5 is better or worse than hardcap 8
i cant show you
sometimes one wins sometimes the other does
soft cap at 5 litteraly need like 15 targets or smth
its legit dog
is it better than hardcap at 8 on first pull academy? ye prolly
is it worse on every other pull of every other dungeon
ye
I feel like there are specific pulls you can point to that feel bad for outlaw hard cap but in general a lot of pulls aren't really going too far beyond 8 targets outside of top end groups right?
yeah thats the main issue
i mean thats the main reason it should be softcapped at 8 lol
outlaw tends to kinda overperform in lower keys
its irrelevant for 90% of things it would barely even impact tuning
yeah if we are soft capped
but then you get to high keys and outlaw can be unplayable in some keys
cause of target cap
thats not cause of the way we do aoe tho
its cause of no cds
im sorry but
its a combination
its legit night and day
Yeah I mean in general would seem to be better than the current situation where you have to make outlaw extremely overtuned at 8 targets or less to be competitive since its hardcapped
idk we lost a lot of the things that I would credit for us doing so well in low keys
we have ramp time now
also true
pc is gone
except we're not overtuned so we're just bad now lol
we actually do have cooldown now they are just up a lot
and BF isn't tuned to the moon to help us be good in raid style cleave in this particular tier
could honestly argue our cooldown is like too long for low keys
i wonder if they buff BR instead of up BF lol
that would be funny
at some point
if BR is enough of our aoe
like a lot of the value of that BTE cast you just did is in the buff it applied to your character
where is that buff going when the pack ends in 4 seconds
theyd have to go crazy with it though
I'm not really expecting a "Blade rush now deals 125% more damage" patchnote
what ramp time
you dont even press snd in keys
i press bf adr bte gg
ramp over
2 gcd
aren't you supposed to SnD before the key starts
ye in bubble
AR SnD during bubble
between BTE and our AA stacks I am convinced we have more ramp time than a ton of other specs
no one is applying 7 dots anymore
acro stack instantly
they are hitting 1 aoe enabler and blasting
at the very least our historically low ramp time isn't an advantage when most specs have similarly low ramp time now
we do the same to me
I think you are underestimating the impact BTE has on the equation
sure we might not be particularly more frontloaded than any other
especially since you are so often left with the choice between casting it towards the end of a pack and wasting it
or holding it and doing less damage
idk bte buff doesnt last long and its not garanted to proc
for me its more like
going into a new pack you may not have BTE at all
what 2 trinkets should i have if i wont do any raid this season
a short damage window that stacks
and like
you get it instantly on pull, sometimes you go high
faq says only solar
i mean idk
solar and the on use haste/crit trinket probably
but there's a few decent stat trinkets littered about that are all decent
wait that's not a real trinket
I only have one from doing non-seasonal M0s
this is good
after the solar
wont be good in 1 month
warbanner is good, but the effect is entirely ST and might not be that good for you if you are just not raiding
yh
who said that
meme
oh from keys
im just looking for bis m+ trinkets basically for m+
yes and no
it does damage, but you must pick up orbs so
it is bait
I seriously doubt you can get that kind of value out of it without sacrificing a ton of attention
also no WA to read the combatlog and make a noise when an orb spawns
so it's just GG
I could get that trinket at 280 item level and I would refuse to use it
I feel like some trinkets from the past few expansions literally wouldn't work without WA
if it's no vessel no raid trinkets the answer might unironically be a crafted darkmoon deck....
The transmitter one would be super annoying
i dont think they care about that
they never were meant to be played with wea kauaras
they were meant to be annoying
will 1 raid boss be easy in month to pug on mythic?
i could atleast get that 1 but will be super contested trinket
yes
- solar
free
But they made it knowing it would be played with WAs
but i cba raiding
i doubt that
the weak aura is super wonky
So they made it extra annoying even with it
barely of any help
the item design team does some strange stuff that we may never fully understand
no
how did you track private auras in midnight
am i the only one that had them middle of the screen cuase its important
You cancelaura raidbuffs
I had them large and a little to the left
Oh wait they fixed that
every private aura use to be something that mattered
but I'm hearing that they made literally everything private in the new raid so
yep
you have like 1/2 permanent debuff on you the whole fight
that are private aura
the one im most confused about
wait let me find it
Just be undead, easy fix
https://www.twitch.tv/zac__________________/clip/ProtectiveAbstemiousDillPastaThat-pVb3NNZyq5ditVYg @fathom bramble
I got it as my delve map item
in intermission of drake boss
very useless
should make the UD racial remove any cc
everyone in the raid get a debuff when they enter the bubble
for some reason this is a private aura
i dont get it
like what could possibly be gained by making that a private aura
also it perma reapply on cd
they must just be defaulting to making everything private
I got the drum,crit proc
not bad
idk different raid designers must have different personal rules on what to make private
ye i guess its too hard to have set rules
so now you have 2 debuffs bar that you need to track in theory
some people still have 6 and 9 target caps randomly
and private auras have useless debuffs but also the most important debuffs
uncapped stuff started getting added immediately afteer blizz removed it
that have no big book of rules anywhere
and your normal debuff bar has lust debuff inside it the whole fight
:D
what are we doing
either everyone should be capped or no one should be
that
no lok you dont understand
the entire goal was to mitigate the amount of mass pulling happening in keys and it just literally didn't do that
at all
outlaw cant be uncapped because it would be too op
remove the caps and let us do mass pulls
because it does too much low target cleave
or cap us all and finally remove them
i mean it has been a while since bfa s2 we have payed our sins way too much
marks gets over double damage going from 1-2
actually insane that they printed that
Kinda like how dwarf racial can remove any debuff
or remove useful racials
dwarf can only remove some very specific debuffs
What's this
really?
with just absurd 2 target for some reason
yeah sub gets like +14% or something
and we get +25%
that's good compared to sub
this is about 7% diff
but terrible compared to the rest of the game
they get a 14% tier set next week
I meant our scaling from 1 to 2 not necessarily the total damage inflicted
sub cleave got destroyed so yeah 2 target suck
sure
sub will probably be better for the fight for reasons beyond just how well they sim on 2 targets
and yet
i like how sub players complain about how their 2 target cleave got destroyed
while we prolly lost more
we went from about 120% cleave
to 30%
btw
We've had several bad years, the outlaw OTPs.
I hope they hire a new game designer for this specialization soon.
TWW season 2 could have been great
if we didn't get nerfed on a friday randomly with no compensation
acro 

Old acro
isnt there tuning tonight
Would be so good
in theory
they usually post notes around like 4-6 hours from now
I think they will buff all 3 rogue specs
i think they will buff sub more
and sub will come out on top as usual
I hope the don’t buff sub
they legit dont know
I think they will indeed buff sub
and im convinced of that btw
all 3 rogue specs will get 8%
Zac are you geared for this week yet
As Zac says if they do it’s 
sub will be the best spec in raid next week
What does a 260 outlaw with 4p look like
With outlaw BF nerf 
we did only one night of raid
so 2 5 bosses
will do valeera into nm spliuts next
i guess
6 7 bosses?
after I spend crests and everything today my sub sim is like 78k with 4p
Massive
actually kinda got unlucky my raid i guess
It’s cringe af
i think i got attrib on everything that dropped
and thats 1 belt 1 leg
and weapons i guess
but no one cares about weapons
only loot that does anything rn is tier and trinkets
What gear did you get @fathom bramble
everything else is just making keys a bit easier
ye
I raid in 5-6 hours
I only have preraid stuff still
@vivid vessel
Fair
whatdehelly!
yeah nbd bro
no its not i have too much to do in wow
ye you are right
i could play till end of week
but i feel like i need more time than one week you know
Btw Zac
if i play rn i will proll drop till i learn how to play again
check out my split alt though
yeah im jhust chillin on league until reset
257ilvl
Are you playing towards the don’t BtE if AR has less than 30 sec cd rule
yes
272 wep 
it feels good
must be strong for splits
u go into AR with massive, usually guaranteed bte reset
that shit hits hard for outlaw
Ye makes sense
what about mythic splits tho ..

i think its something to keep a mind on
I mean if blizzard is fucking up the raid balance you might as well do like first 3 in splits
you never know what can happen
if the 4th is impossible
i think its easy to do mythic split when you dont raid day 1
cause you can just watch liquid raid
and see what happen
i think you can split the 1 boss raid anyway no ?
Also @vivid vessel I was saying to lok earlier
Why don’t they
Just bring out ace changes
Now
Why wait for .5
dont ask too much questions
So they have something to give????
only thing they are allowed to hotfix in is dk buffs
cause they are 🥄
What’s peak tho
They hotfiz blind
but they will wait till .5
So we don’t have it for .5

Great so now
We don’t have it
For like 6 weeks
Thanks blizzard
ye true
holy moly BTE hitting for 220k?
They literally did
i forgot they litteraly hotfixed blind working in aoe mid week
but they cant do the opposite
thats funny actually
It’s laughable
And they have the audacity to say
“We’ve listened to rogues feedback”

Isn't the ace change technically a nerf?
ye prolly
They listened, then promptly disregarded
how did this bte do 228k
Dmg amp
there is a damage amp
when do we roll stage 2 ?
bte damage is bugged awang
dont talk about it too much
sometimes it does more damage than it should
i know the b*g i forgot
They’ll hotfiz it
i bet thats what happened
we just
we just hide that under
no one knows
i mean we dont know when or why it happens so

fair play
I love that one
Man my outlaw rogue is looking p good so far for an alt
I’m yoinking
@fathom bramble
how good is your gear tho
do you have
crit haste
on every slot
cause i almost do
almost every slot
banger
I have 25% haste with flask now
857 crit, 752 haste on my main
did you guys know pit of sauron is an insane farm dungeon
And seat
pit it great
whys that
dagger, neck, ring, belt
Pit and seat give great gear

wrist
OH
it got crit haste neck, waist, ring, dagger,wrist
Wait is seat just helm
Ye kinda big
seat is helm and 2 okay rings
Ye play fair pit is good
pit is good
And it’s 3 boss dungeon
Is pit easy too?
idk its a dungoen
What a awful dungeon
skyreach seemed fine
wtf
is it the bird section?
what kind of hacks is that
It’s everything
The beam from the big guy
I vanish first one
Then if I get another I just get fucked
cloak it
or vanish stuff on some ranged,hopefully
True
you are goated but i think i sim higher on main now
gg
I do think if we get a buff
We will do decent in m+
Not meta but
Hopefully one of the best melees
I mean
Hope they don’t omega buff sub
Melees are kinda shit this season anyways
feels like that happens a lot of seasons 🤔
"just bring ranged"
I wonder if there is some inherent advantage to having 700% more range on your abilities
Why bring rogue with shroud when you can bring mage with mass invis 
you are too good
fury aint that bad
the power of wasting heroic crests lol
haha
you would be above me if you were panda
Yes but having one spec being completely dead expect for literally one boss is ass
Espically because I'm attempting to stop being a one trick this xpack
panda in this early gear sims insanely high
Never
i need dwarf for keys ..
unlucky
especially now
not being dwarf
in keys
idk how you even survive anything
dwarf kinda cover rogue weakness
its good
idk I keep saying I'll do push keys next season outlaw is good for
and then we never got another proper good season
you should just find people like me
so I can just not care about surviving in keys
i have accepted that outlaw will always be shit
i just found people that also play specs that are always shit
:D
nice
like what is my brewmaster gonna do
Yeah I feel like this is how you have to be as a melee main general
90% of your classes are gonna be shit
you are stuck with me
it's been so long one of my most hated dungeons from when I actually pushed is back
and we are still bad for it
algeth'ar
I don't think pit has ever been a keystone dungeon before
Remove first pack
no
From AA it’s okay
seat was fucking awful at launch in legion
Seat is fine now
I was suprised we didnt get cathedral and seat in one season
Any pack that requires me to play the game of "where will the tank go" is a pack that needs to be removed
back then like every pull was 8-15 targets
plus the first boss
healers dont like these places
True
miss theater of pain so much
we need more dungeon that are 1 straight line that the tank just pulls through
sick of these fancy skips
i thought i was turbo blasting the pack
but my other 2 dps were just afk
im actually trying to beat tank instead
sounds about right
done any dungeon with high ilvl prot pala?
i dont think so
was interesting
Are we expecting any more tuning before tues?
surely
lets be real, they must have rogue in the notes
just maybe not outlaw notes
why woukld assa get more
it's assa
this but at the end of each line they add "in pvp combat only"
thats disingenuous
you have been playing the spec that has been blizzard favorite for 4 expac straight every tier
i hope its not assa tier
i don't want to play it
assa usually gets mega aurabuffed to being better after hof closes
