That was the reality

short wharf
#

Wtf is going on in this chat 😭

proven ocean
#

Thats also the reason why they tuned down their difficulty

wintry solar
#

A debate, shh

proven ocean
#

Of the specs

fathom bramble
#

but none of this actually matters because outlaw was good on that fight

proven ocean
#

A spec so hard that rwf rogues cant play outlaw because they dont play it 24/7 is just bad design

fathom bramble
#

and the things that made us good are not present in the current state of the game

cinder relic
#

Outlaw was the better spec on soul hunters. No rogue in Na was practiced on outlaw, and it didn't really matter

proven ocean
#

Ya didnt matter much

cinder relic
#

The exact same could be said for the first half of nerubar, and also shit like nexus princess

proven ocean
#

Super doable boss

cinder relic
#

Outlaw was just the best rogue spec on that fight

#

Did it matter? No

#

Did anybody swap? No

#

Did the outlaw players do better than the other 2 specs on that fight? Yes

quaint mauve
#

i feel kinda bad on 2 person, and 3 person cleave now

proven ocean
#

Idk

quaint mauve
#

like the council boss felt kinda meh when i did it yesterday

proven ocean
#

I know that realz used to watch my streams with zac

#

In tww

#

Zac cleaved like

vivid vessel
#

nerfing bf to 30% have no impact

cinder relic
#

The times where outlaw is better, it's like 2-5%, and those gains don't exist when you aren't practiced and prepping it

proven ocean
#

Way more than anybody’s dps

#

In m+

#

he prob watched ur streams too zac idk if u checked tho

vivid vessel
#

its fine

#

we will continue to act like its unlucky tuning

#

every tier

#

and not htat our damage profile never improve / get worse every expac

proven ocean
#

It is unlucky tuning guy didnt say it isnt tho

cinder relic
#

What the fuck do u want me to say and do Zac lmfao

balmy topaz
#

Zac

vivid vessel
#

its unlucky tuning

cinder relic
#

The spec and class is tuned like shit again

vivid vessel
#

next tier we good

balmy topaz
#

Did you tell zeross about the ape blind situation

vivid vessel
#

what ape blind

proven ocean
vivid vessel
#

yes bro

#

its tuning

proven ocean
#

Like

balmy topaz
vivid vessel
#

its unlucky

balmy topaz
#

To then

cinder relic
#

It literally is tuning

balmy topaz
#

Give it back

proven ocean
#

Do u want him to type it 10 more times

vivid vessel
#

yes

cinder relic
#

Are you stupid

vivid vessel
#

its tuning

balmy topaz
#

In 6 weeks

vivid vessel
#

every tier outlaw is tuned bad

cinder relic
#

U saying it sarcastically doesn't make a point

vivid vessel
#

1/3 chance but its the worse spec every tier its kinda unlcuky

cinder relic
#

It isn't tuned bad every tier

proven ocean
#

I mean it is what it is like bad tuning happens

vivid vessel
#

bad tuning happens

#

and its every tier

proven ocean
#

Outlaw was a banger in s2 tww

vivid vessel
#

can we be fr

#

for one sec

#

or

proven ocean
#

S3 DF

#

etc

cinder relic
#

I really like this thing you do where you ignore the tiers where outlaw is fine tuning wise

balmy topaz
cinder relic
#

But when it's fine, and even, it's also still bad

balmy topaz
#

S3 DF was goated

cinder relic
#

Makes Ur "it's bad every tier comment" just a given when this is your definition

vivid vessel
#

sub every other tier

proven ocean
#

It was good in SL too tho

#

First raid

vivid vessel
#

yes thats counted bro

#

sl first tier and df first tier

proven ocean
#

DF s3 was sub actually

#

In raid

#

Mb

cinder relic
#

So there's a difference between being bad, and being worse, and being equal to other specs

proven ocean
#

And s2 tww outlaw sucked in raid

#

Idk

cinder relic
#

These are 3 different states

proven ocean
#

Its mostly m+ i mean

#

Where it was good

cinder relic
#

In mfo, outlaw was the worst spec in the game

#

In nerubar, the spec was like, fine

vivid vessel
#

but

cinder relic
#

Slightly worse, slightly better on a lot of fights

vivid vessel
#

why is it never the raid spec

#

is it cause of tuning

#

and why does it feel like it get worse every expac

proven ocean
#

Honestly zac

vivid vessel
#

which it does

#

is it tuning

proven ocean
#

If u played bfa

long needle
vivid vessel
#

unlucky tuning every tier ?

proven ocean
#

Ppl called outlaw the m+ spec

#

And people loved it

vivid vessel
#

surely it cant be unlucky tuning every tier bro

proven ocean
#

Alot

wintry solar
#

I remember that

vivid vessel
#

surely the fact we keep losing niches

proven ocean
#

It was so good in m+ and so bad in raid

#

But

vivid vessel
#

and other specs gaining niches

cinder relic
#

Ur right the reason that rogues single target is shit is because of blade flurry being 30%

proven ocean
#

It was the most popular spec in bfa

vivid vessel
#

has an impact

cinder relic
#

Really smart

vivid vessel
#

its fine bro

#

its tuning

cinder relic
#

You are so fucking dumb it's unreal

vivid vessel
#

ye sure

#

im the dumb one herer

balmy topaz
#

Mum and dad please

proven ocean
#

zac

#

guy said its dogshit tuning

#

what else do u want him to say

#

?

vivid vessel
#

it cant be bad tuning every tier bro

cinder relic
#

IT'S NOT TUNED BADLY EVERY TIER

vivid vessel
#

you cant just be unlucky go next every tier

cinder relic
#

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

vivid vessel
#

WHY IS IT NEVER THE RAID SPEC

#

WHY IS IT NEVER THE RAID SPEC

#

WHYU

#

ITS NOT JUST BAD TUNING

proven ocean
#

BECAUSE IT NEVER WAS

vivid vessel
#

EVERY TIER BRO

cinder relic
#

IT IS

#

IT HAS BEEN

vivid vessel
#

TWICE IN 3 EXPAC

proven ocean
#

!

vivid vessel
#

WTF YOU TALKING ABOUT

#

SUB HAS BEEN THE SPEC

#

EVERY OTHER TIER

proven ocean
#

ok guys relax

vivid vessel
#

SURELY THERE IS MORE THAN TUNING

lime lake
cinder relic
#

IT LITERALLY IS TUNING DUMB FUCK

vivid vessel
#

CANT BE THAT DELULU BRO

#

ITS UNLUCKY TUNING EVERY TIER

cinder relic
#

IF OUTLAW DID ACTUAL COMPETITIVE DAMAGE IT WOULDN'T MATTER

vivid vessel
#

BUT OUTLAW IS UNPLAYABLE ON EVERY END BOSS EVER

#

BUT ITS BAD TUNING

cinder relic
#

Your brain is so fucking fried from playing 1 spec

#

And having no actual understanding of the game

vivid vessel
#

i mean ok bro

patent lion
#

okay

#

maybe chill a lil

vivid vessel
#

he started CAUGHT

patent lion
#

never said who started it

#

just breathe tho ye

#

funni pixels on the screen

cinder relic
#

Hmm let's ignore all the time flatline specs have been competitive in raid because they are actually tuned properly

#

And then let's say "it's just tuning" as a smug sarcastic comment

vivid vessel
#

there is flatline and htere is outlaw but ok

cinder relic
#

Actual insanity

vivid vessel
#

also wtf are flatline specs

proven ocean
#

ngl tho guy has a point outlaw was decent in nerubar

#

i remmeber u gapping everyone in some bosses

#

and that was last expansion so

vivid vessel
#

what spec did you prog as in nerubar

#

im talking about actual progging rn bro

proven ocean
#

i mean u cant just prog outlaw tho

vivid vessel
#

idc a spec is fine

proven ocean
#

because u have to choose 1 only

vivid vessel
#

i wanna prog as something else than sub

proven ocean
#

sword or dagger

vivid vessel
#

for one tier

proven ocean
#

and more often than not, dagger is the best option

#

because it covers 2 specs and not 1

cinder relic
#

There is a difference between

Being bad

Being slightly worse

Being about the same

#

Outlaw in mfo was bad

Outlaw in undermine was slightly worse

Outlaw in nerubar was about the same

#

In nerubar, there were fights, where outlaw was just better

vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Did it ever matter? Literally no
If you were an outlaw player, did you outperform the other specs? Yes

proven ocean
#

and be able to use daggers too

cinder relic
#

If the bar for being "the prog spec" is just does everybody have to craft a sword, the answer is generally no

proven ocean
#

or like wdym exactly

cinder relic
#

Even when it is better, like in vault, most ppl played sub still

#

It was worse on every fight

vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Was sub still the prog spec that tier?

proven ocean
#

i doubt that in blizzard HQ they are like OMG LETS MAKE OUTLAW BAD FOREVER

proven ocean
#

im down for outlaw to get daggers it aint wrong

patent lion
#

I mean, I'd go one step further though and argue poisons should be normalized somehow and make all the rogue specs able to use 1h as well

#

but that's probably a bit magma take

fathom bramble
#

mostly outlaw is good when the tuning is there and there is a ST fight with 100% uptime

vivid vessel
#

tho its off hand who cares

vivid vessel
#

irreelvant now that we can trasnmog daggers to swords

#

not even mad

patent lion
#

yeah I just think the weapon locking is weird

fathom bramble
#

outside of the limited tiers where a council fight even exists and actually had BF tuning line up with it we tend to just be good on the fights that don't pressure our weaknesses

patent lion
#

like casters get int swords and offhands and 2h staff

#

and rogue is just xd dagger or one singular slow weapon

#

which is just whack imo

fathom bramble
#

since unlike sub/sin we don't have a clear strength that would make you bring the spec

vivid vessel
#

no wae !

fathom bramble
#

so it comes down entirely to just having good ST tuning and not too many fights that obliterate us

vivid vessel
#

cant be true

cinder relic
#

Keep saying that comment it makes u sound very smart

fathom bramble
#

the fact that they don't is literally bad tuning

vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Because you deserve it

fathom bramble
#

like look what they did with marks

vivid vessel
#

im just having a civil conversation with my friend lok

#

didnt even @ you

patent lion
#

idk bout him deserving it really

proven ocean
#

Zerossthinking zac'

fathom bramble
#

they actually shipped aspect like that in a tier with a ton of 2 target

#

and had to emergency tackle it

proven ocean
#

zac's ragebait capabilities is reaching celestial levels Zerossthinking

patent lion
#

zac says plenty of YEK

hollow dragon
#

👀

patent lion
#

but like, he doesn't deserve attacks idk

vivid vessel
#

i can see that argument

#

but in the end

#

they dont ever do that tho

proven ocean
#

tbf tho

cinder relic
#

They literally do

vivid vessel
#

so your spec need to have actual niches

proven ocean
#

outlaw's been always on the lower side

#

it just somehow happened to be fine sometimes

cinder relic
#

There are tiers where outlaw is good on fights man

#

That's literally tuning

proven ocean
#

i mean

#

most of high end prog requires high dps on specific points and niche that outlaw doesn't really offer

fathom bramble
#

in the end it's both

#

tuning can overcome literally anything

proven ocean
#

honestly from my pov its just class design

#

thats true but

fathom bramble
#

but it would be nice if we didn't have so much to overcome

cinder relic
vivid vessel
cinder relic
#

Frost is almost entirely Flat and is one of the best dps in the raid rn

fathom bramble
#

the problem with flat damage is that it isn't a strength, it is nearly always a weakness. it ends up causing you to need fights that don'

#

don't press on that weakness

#

that actually line up with a period where you are tuned well

#

to be king

cinder relic
#

That's happening with Frost mage right now!

river wing
fathom bramble
#

there's also a difference between like normal flat

vivid vessel
#

how lucky for frost mage players

fathom bramble
#

and outlaw feedback loop

vivid vessel
#

wish it would happen to me !

proven ocean
#

honestly frost mages historically had bad class design

#

similar to outlaw

#

idk if its good now but

#

it was quite similar

river wing
fathom bramble
#

burst specs get to gap everyone on burst fights

wide dune
#

A spec that needs full uptime and deals flat dmg cannot be balanced on all the fights of a raid. Depending on tuning, it's either broken on some fight or unplayable on others. Both can even be true at the same time. Makes committing to outlaw a bad choice from a prog perspective. That's a design problem which, imo, will never be fixed by tuning.

vivid vessel
river wing
vivid vessel
#

i go on dimensius or last boss this tier and im litteraly tank damage

#

so why shouldnt i do good on fractilus

cinder relic
# proven ocean it was quite similar

It's very similar to outlaw in the sense that nobody plays Frost, so even when it's better, ppl don't bother cuz the difference usually doesn't matter

fathom bramble
vivid vessel
#

im a one trick outalw

#

if outlaw is better i would play it

#

how come i cant play it

#

legit 90% of times

cinder relic
#

Because it's undertuned

vivid vessel
#

ah

#

ok

#

my bad

#

lowrolled again

cinder relic
#

Keep making the same stupid sarcastic comment

vivid vessel
#

idk im just chilling rn

#

doing m0s to get a dagger

wintry solar
#

Actually if I hear it one more time I might agree

vivid vessel
#

so i can play a real spec in raid

wide dune
river wing
fathom bramble
vivid vessel
#

actually i might have to tune up in raid with 2 vet dagger its unlucko

fathom bramble
#

I prefer solutions that maintain outlaw identity while also helping us

cinder relic
#

The spec should just be stronger

fathom bramble
#

like giving us execute or something

vivid vessel
#

i ran the 3 dagger dungeons every day the whole week

balmy topaz
fathom bramble
#

they could also just tune around our weaknesses so we get to shine on some fights even if others destroy us

river wing
fathom bramble
#

like as it stands even if outlaw was overtuned it would require a very specific raid to let us be best on every fight

vivid vessel
#

then i can see it

fathom bramble
#

and I do feel that indicates something is wrong somewhere

proven ocean
#

honestly

#

i said it before

#

we dont have good on demand dmg

vivid vessel
#

interesting

proven ocean
#

if u look at initial crackshot

vivid vessel
proven ocean
#

it was a huge burst of dmg

fathom bramble
#

yeah I already said it's both

proven ocean
#

and it was consistent burst dmg that came every few seconds

fathom bramble
#

crack was actually good for that

#

especially with 2 charges

proven ocean
#

issue is it kept getting nerfed

#

over time

#

idk

#

thats rly bad imo

vivid vessel
#

till it got deleted

proven ocean
#

and not only that like outlaw's tuning has been getting worse

vivid vessel
#

cause timmy didnt like doing world quests

#

with crackshot

#

gg !

#

at least removing craskhot fixed outlaw issues in raid !

proven ocean
#

i mean thats just cooked tho idk why they removed problems that were solved

vivid vessel
#

wiat wdym nothing changed

fathom bramble
vivid vessel
#

something changed right

fathom bramble
#

but again

fluid meadow
#

this rng proccs are better then crackshot cuz we know when we get them lolzfvgbfdkjbdf

proven ocean
#

like

#

zac

fathom bramble
#

spec identity

proven ocean
#

do u agree

fathom bramble
#

you make us ranged it nukes any spec identity we had from orbit

proven ocean
#

the spec had issues

proven ocean
#

they fixed them

#

then

vivid vessel
#

3 yard

proven ocean
#

unfixed alot of them

vivid vessel
#

i could go with only 3 yard

proven ocean
#

for no reason

vivid vessel
#

idk about you

fathom bramble
#

yeah I could go for 3 yrd

vivid vessel
#

ye 3 yard is good

fathom bramble
#

at this point I would even take 2

vivid vessel
#

lets pitch that idea

river wing
fathom bramble
#

yeah

#

I like the mixed combat style

#

it's cool

vivid vessel
#

i mean you can barely go ranged rn tho

#

i liked having 3 stacks of fth

#

you could bank them for downtime

#

with crackshot

fathom bramble
#

I wish we were a little more mixed like when you could crack out from ranged

#

but not full ranged even though it would fix things

#

it just wouldn't be law anymore to me

river wing
#

well it doesn't function without melee ATM yeah
because it all has to have melee synergies like Zero In and only melee regening energy

vivid vessel
#

i like being melee anyway

#

i think ranged is shit

#

melee with 3 more yards tho ..

wintry solar
#

Unfun

vivid vessel
#

cant say i would be mad about that ..

#

just me tho ..

river wing
#

I didn't even play when (the good) Acro was a thing
and I wish I had

wintry solar
#

Missed out

fathom bramble
#

there was a period where dispatch was actually named run through and had an extra 3 yards

#

which stacked with acro

#

you could stab MW monks from outside their knockback circle

vivid vessel
#

wtf bro

river wing
#

lmao 11y finisher

fathom bramble
#

it was great

vivid vessel
#

do they just keep deleting the cool outalw stuffs

#

over and over

river wing
#

yes?

wintry solar
#

Yeah

vivid vessel
#

what did i do to deserve this

wintry solar
#

Play outlaw

river wing
#

bro this is Rogue in a nutshell, I've been looking through Rogue's history for a year, the class is legit in the dumpster in terms of what it gets and what gets taken away

wintry solar
#

You can go back to Legion and after and you'll see how much cool stuff we're missing out on.

#

I do that a lot actually

fathom bramble
#

I mean look at legion

#

nmearly all of the cool stuff we have ever had was just legion

#

or returned to the game after legion

#

only really shadowlands brought stuff that doesn't land in that category

#

Iguess some stuff was kind of inspired by legion stuff and not a direct rip

#

like blunderbuss that then became fan the hammer

wintry solar
#

GSW being around until midnight

#

Just under a different name in bfa

fathom bramble
#

though I think the way blunderuss, opportunity, and GSW interacted was much cooler in legion than it ever was again

cinder relic
wintry solar
#

Like what?

cinder relic
#

Deft, fan the hammer, new rtb, I like kir a lot, I'm partial to new ks but I get the hate for it, I like supercharger, I like 7cp

#

For sub I think secret technique is just a much cooler version of dfa

vivid vessel
#

easy enough for the law

#

can finally play a real spec

fathom bramble
#

honestly I'm still kind of split on fan the hammer

#

but I do agree that we have a lot of cool stuff still

#

just that most of it came from legion and not all of it stayed

vague cape
cinder relic
#

Legion was a very large inflection point for the game for sure

#

Not just outlaw

river wing
#

I'm still huffing copium that the current things are just a holding pattern and we'll see a proper assa design at the very least next expac

vague cape
#

Never forget dreadblades, sub stole it xd

cinder relic
#

Most specs are still very much designed around the shells made from legion, broadly speaking

fathom bramble
#

true

wintry solar
cinder relic
#

I mean look at demo lol

sly ermine
#

I just miss BFA outlaw when they introduced m+ - no target cap and u went 2x outlaw with a ww monk and u went brr brr

cinder relic
#

Oh yeah blade rush too

#

Love that button

zinc briar
#

should i craft dagger? im doubting about playing assa/subt if outlaw becomes the worst dps... 🙁

river wing
#

pre-Legion demo was just deleted to make space for DH
hate DH ngl, never should've been a player class

vague cape
#

I still think we can do so much more with outlaw design

river wing
vague cape
#

HO as a playstyle got kneecapped with vanish’s removal from restless blades

wintry solar
#

Im coping Midnight is just a template for the classes

vague cape
cinder relic
#

It very much is

fathom bramble
river wing
fathom bramble
#

midnight class changes were A LOT

#

and there is clearly more to iterate on that isn't just mistakes

wintry solar
#

I don't trust them to do wide sweeping changes to every spec again

fathom bramble
#

but rather not finishing a plan

#

imo

vivid vessel
#

just

#

xd does more damage

daring nacelle
#

!ui

ornate heathBOT
vivid vessel
#

sub might have the least interesting tree out of all classes in the game im ngl

zinc briar
#

@vivid vessel what should i do? craft dagger or sword?

vivid vessel
#

idk dont ask me

#

crafts depends on too many things

#

that are personal

#

to your guild rank

river wing
# vivid vessel sub might have the least interesting tree out of all classes in the game im ngl

I mean it's the most basic spec design possibly
"just burst in burst windows bro, then do whatever in downtime"
like it has the default design for a DPS in many ways - the way its AoE is designed, the way its burst is designed, etc
I might be affected by FFXIV-vision where basically every melee DPS is a bit Sub-like in that regard, with circular PBAoEs and burst CDs and build-spend gameplay basics

vivid vessel
#

etc

#

i cant tell

zinc briar
#

i want outlaw but seems that gonna be so bad vs assa

fathom bramble
#

they have 5% magic damage

#

and then 8% shadow damage right after it

vivid vessel
#

bro

#

its every node

#

legit

#

idk what sub tree is

#

i mean thye are happy about it i guess idk

fathom bramble
#

there's a few in here that are cool though

river wing
#

it's better than it used to be in TWW I guess???

fathom bramble
#

or result in meangingful effects that can be noticed

vivid vessel
#

YOOO what if you take 5% increased finisher damage over 8% shadow damage bro !!!

fathom bramble
#

but like 70% of our nodes have a meaningful effect that can be noticed so

#

it's a pretty big difference to compare

#

idk how the average spec looks right now maybe sub is normal

#

and we are weird

river wing
#

ehh most specs I've seen do have lots of interactions in talents

fathom bramble
#

I would say about 8 of our nodes don't really do anything that could be noticed

#

maybe 9 or 10 if you push it

#

of hte 44 nodes in the tree

#

which isn't to say they don't have gameplay effects

#

just that with damage numbers off you could not tell if this is talented or not

fathom bramble
#

"thing you were going to hit anyway hits harder"

vivid vessel
#

told you bro

#

but i think they are having a blast with it

#

i always see them having intense tc discussion

#

about 5% builder damage vs 8% cuckholder damage

#

sounds fun

fathom bramble
#

my bad 20 times

#

I actually bothered to count it

#

I mean if the rotation you are actually playing is fun in the end

#

whatever works for you ig

river wing
fathom bramble
#

I mean fun for whoeveri s playing it

#

obviously I wouldn't say it's fun for me or anything

#

0 procs always make it feel like nothing is happening

#

I need x resets y or I can't play the spec

river wing
#

ye

vivid vessel
#

i like this current version

#

or well the tww one

#

cause you have the finisher proc lok

#

you just need to ignore that its a buff that can be tracked

zinc briar
#

should i use versa flask if i have 24% haste?

fathom bramble
#

sub was at its most fun when you generated combo points randomly from casting other spells including finishers

river wing
#

I could just about like old Assa despite it being rather static, but it was more frantic in M+ and I liked that
right now tho, Outlaw's the only spec for me

fathom bramble
#

I don't remember the exact text of the tier bonus

#

but that was sick

vivid vessel
#

but they have that !

#

trust

#

just dont track the buff bro

fathom bramble
#

it's not the same

vivid vessel
#

i do that

#

i mean

#

i put ace sound on it

#

and i dont track the buff

#

and i legit cant see the diff bro

#

theorically its every 2nd finisher

#

but like

#

you dont think much about it

#

and its just a proc

fathom bramble
#

no I need like

vivid vessel
#

you prefer that it was rng cp gen ?

fathom bramble
#

idk

vivid vessel
#

idk

fathom bramble
#

a real thing

vivid vessel
#

i mena

#

you dont actually need to track it tho

#

like its not a gain to do so

#

so

#

its real to me

#

same shit in tww

#

you didnt need to track the refund

#

so it was also a real proc to me

#

i just play it as a proc

fathom bramble
#

like if they had a 2nd generator that had a cooldown that could be reset by casting backstab/shadowstrike

vivid vessel
#

would you track ace if it could be tracked

#

i know i woudlnt

fathom bramble
#

yeah prob not

#

I mean I didn't track this in TWW and I get what your saying

#

I just don't think it's enough for me to actually have fun playing it for an extended period of time

vivid vessel
#

ye i mean

fathom bramble
#

and it doesn't need to be

vivid vessel
#

its not enough for sure

fathom bramble
#

not every spec needs to be law

vivid vessel
#

sub is kinda bare rn

#

very much

#

but this saves it for me

balmy topaz
#

Don’t they have

#

Some strange macro shit

#

ATM

fathom bramble
#

they always do

#

idk what it is this time though

balmy topaz
#

They have like

#

Macroed every ability to a dance macro

vivid vessel
#

they do dance sec tech

#

so they can press both at the same time

#

and not lose dance uptime

#

you just wait for gcd and go

balmy topaz
#

O

#

That’s it

fathom bramble
#

yeah that makes sense since they kind of aim for a very precise amount of haste that needs no gaps

balmy topaz
#

I’ve seen people with like 6 dances on their bar

fathom bramble
#

the weirder macro is coup

#

this shouldn't be allowed

vivid vessel
#

like coup bp ?

fathom bramble
#

like normally you can't do this

vivid vessel
#

im just not doing it its whatever

#

who cares

#

ye

fathom bramble
#

but because of how coup is coded you can

#

like it's whatever

#

but it's against what macros are suppose to be allowed to do

vivid vessel
#

just be a nromal human being and track coup

#

idk why sub players always try to remove the fun out of their spec

#

must be a condition

random stirrup
#

let the noobs have it

fathom bramble
#

I mean it's fine

manic ice
#

yall remember that bribe ability? that was fun

fathom bramble
#

I more meant that it shouldn't work from the perspective of how blizz intends macros to function

#

not that it was a broken thing they need to remove

vivid vessel
random stirrup
#

hello

vivid vessel
#

i have to play the cringe trinket

#

thoughts

random stirrup
#

there are so many which u mean

vivid vessel
#

im solving a puzzle mid pull ..

random stirrup
#

go next reset beg for guidon

random stirrup
#

It was higher than ret pala

#

They are coming in droves because it got out that it’s 2 buttons now

vivid vessel
#

xddd

#

i know right

#

@random stirrup is it onyl in lust that you do the cringe thing

#

it is right

random stirrup
#

Only with supercharger now

#

Lust unrelated

vivid vessel
random stirrup
#

yes

vivid vessel
#

wait i dont understand

random stirrup
#

we press our nice dance tech macro and then we strike, if it doesn’t proc aa strike again (it will almost always proc aa)

#

you only really end up forcing it on pull with pre supercharger

vivid vessel
#

fuck

#

i actually need to track it then

#

or what

#

no i just have to have 5 sht after my builder right

random stirrup
#

ye u can watch sht or you can track it

#

it’s in cdm so not so bad anymore

vivid vessel
#

well

#

its not about how bad it is to track it

#

more so that tracking it remove the fun of reacting to the proc

#

ok i played sub 5 min on dummies

random stirrup
#

just use a weakaura to only track it if supercharge is up garf

vivid vessel
#

i think i play the spec perfectly now

vivid vessel
#

actually

#

i think i could

#

ye

#

i can

#

interesting

#

i wont do it tho its annoying

#

interesting that you could actually do that

#

i do wonder how much you can do rn with hooking up to the cdm

#

what a failure from our favorite devs at the blizzard company !

random stirrup
#

you said the incoming hotfix isn’t going to brick much righ

vivid vessel
#

i think so ye

random stirrup
#

I heard people saying Arcui was gonna go boom

vivid vessel
#

i think it doesnt touch any of the cdm skinners

#

idk maybe arcui isnt an actual cdm skinner

#

i thought it was

#

if it just moves the icons around i dont think it ever matters

zinc briar
#

@vivid vessel are u crafting sword with your main?

vivid vessel
#

no

random stirrup
#

well they use like extra action bars to display buttons

#

on backend I think

zinc briar
#

dagger?

vivid vessel
#

oh ye sure that part im unsure

#

like the additional non cdm things

#

im unsure about

#

but i havent seen anyone panick so idk

random stirrup
#

And you can track stuff that isn’t in cdm like pots and trinkets

#

I don’t want to lose that

vivid vessel
#

ye

#

maybe you do :D

#

right before raid

#

you wake up

#

half your ui bricked up

#

massive cocka in middle of the screen

#

gg

#

go next

random stirrup
#

it’s ok they don’t need rogue buff for splits

#

we simply do not go

jolly geyser
#

Just put pots and trinkets on a small action bar in that case

vivid vessel
#

also what do you guys think about the fact that

#

one of the things blizzard didnt like about raid addons were like

#

"puddle", "run away", "spread"

#

sounds or whatever

#

but you can do that wiht their private auras byg design

#
  • big wigs etc can rename bars anyway and will always be able to
jolly geyser
vivid vessel
#

like say orbs on drake boss

#

can very much do a circle that says spread while its happening

#

or before its happening

#

and you will always be able to do that

random stirrup
#

good thing we did all this work to break the game

vivid vessel
#

:D

random stirrup
#

now they have the design space to let us play tic tac toe

#

No pesky wa to ruin it

vivid vessel
#

i like how bosses are very different

#

from waht they were in tww

#

the soak mechanic on paladin boss could have never happened in tww ! we would have had a weak aura to tell us which one to soak ! (no)

random stirrup
#

Idk they show they can make banger bosses that aren’t solved by wa like NK and dimensius

vivid vessel
#

i jknow right

random stirrup
#

not sure why they explode the game instead of just doing that again

vivid vessel
#

not sure why they didnt just restrict seeing others stuffs and removing communication from addons

#

that would ahve been more than fine

pastel cloud
#

big noob question, best trinkets from dungeons?

random stirrup
#

I usually like alts and I still have yet to do a point of damage on a spec that isn’t sub

#

I logged into outlaw and there were so many more buttons and buffs to set up omegalul

#

I gave up

vivid vessel
#

alts are so much work rn

#

but i guess they always kinda are in early like that

random stirrup
#

real ones know that you don’t need to set up anything but sub for raid anyway

livid pewter
vivid vessel
#

ye im using that aswell

#

its cool

livid pewter
#

it took me some hours, but i swapped off from arcui since it takes way more resources than ayijecdm & also looks way more stable

vivid vessel
#

its less buggy ye

vague cape
vivid vessel
#

cant even see them

#

#

quartz magnet
#

Theres 4 world bosses no?

#

One for each zone

vivid vessel
#

slim hare

Hello Zac, I used your Ayije CDM profile. When using the Outlaw CDM profile, everything works fine. But when I switch to the Subtlety profile, after the buffs expire, their icons still remain (like Slice and Dice, Shadow Dance). Have you encountered this issue on your end?@vivid vessel

vivid vessel

#

thats not good

trail scaffold
#

Shouldnt u use bte on max stacks?

vivid vessel
#

no i just told you you sahouldnt do that

trail scaffold

So what stacks u suppose to hit bte? I thought it should Be on 6 and above

jolly geyser

Aha man i thought u meant combo points 😅 forgot I asked about zero in

And games above 1600 seem to drop cata charges

worldly shale
#

Ok did anyone do the ?? shithead with outlaw?

soft abyss
#

Guys waht is the opener now in raid ? I have seen many discussions of yours. Is one specifically better than the rest? Like snd or dispatch kir or keep for prep etc

worldly shale

So stupid its a stat check

kyvezza was way more fun

jolly geyser

if it is delves, try switching valeera to healer and using tricks of the trade on her

wide tendon

The whole playstyle rework from s3 df

left jay
#

with that you can do 11 delves at ilvls as low as 240

Or u prefer this slower less ar uptime

That crimson vial change won’t do anything at max level anyway

idc that much about uuh but i prefered having more uptime on adr yes

my favourite talent of all time mayhaps

vivid vessel

its always more fun

#

faster = funner

#

yes !

worldly shale
#

Me feel slow now

#

:/

dim widget
#

it also feels ass still having arbitrary haste cap for adr with less total adr uptime

vivid vessel
#

uuh itself was pretty toxic tho i have talked a number of times how it should have been fixed

dim widget
#

crackshot and 90% adr is what made outlaw unique imo

#

now we are just yellow fury

#

smh

left jay
#

nah man

#

I prefer Outlaw from the last two expansions

#

but this version of Outlaw is still really fun

twin steeple
#

Pressing same button many times in a row = classic gameplay

left jay
#

they've really improved how RtB works

#

i'm thankful for that at least

vivid vessel
#

have they

left jay
#

well, imo

#

I prefer it

vivid vessel
#

now rtb is just a maintainance buff with 0 gameplay

slim hare
#

I think current version is fun but ace is shit and should give 5-6 combo point it will be even better

vivid vessel
#

and its still as rng as before

#

if not more

rtb + cto + kir was just peak rtb gameplay imo

let us be the autists pls

its not like rogue is played more now (valeera doesnt count)

compared to other classes?

compared tro other classes

how many parses actually

Arms kekw

vivid vessel
#

top 8 spec

dim widget
#

20k WHAT

vivid vessel
#

ye

dim widget
#

okay i have not expected that

#

thats what, a x10 increase?

slim hare
#

Damn that's a lot compared to the usual no?

vivid vessel
#

tho when you look at normal its a lot less so idk

#

its more liked by more high end players i guess

dim widget
#

it makes sense, sub is historically the go to prog rog

vivid vessel
#

the main bms in mythic guilds

wide tendon
#

Xddd

slim hare
#

So in normal we are less played than evoker? Nice

dim widget
#

rogues are tryhards

#

they dont care about normal

slim hare
#

No wonder they dont want to help any rogue spec

dim widget
#

the average rogue player is more likely to be in hc/mythic guild than other classes is what i would assume

#

not because we are "better" but ambitions are higher

#

and few ppl play rog compared to other classes, so its easier to get into guilds maybe? idk

mint ether
#

i'm not sure ambitions is necessarily the right way to phrase it

#

but for a long time, rogue was reliably the best melee DPS class for raiding

#

so a lot of players who wanted to join and progress in higher end guilds got attached to rogue as a main if they wanted to play melee

#

and there's probably some inertia there - lots of people swap classes, but lots of people also stay attached to mains

dim widget
#

also makes sense

mint ether
#

which I guess is related to ambition in a sense

quartz magnet
#

Hows the feeling with the vessel trinket? Is it just simbait or actually that good?

still matrix
#

Readin Guy message so our BIS is - Gaze then Plume/Insignia? or are they all kind of equal

Man seeing a rogue spec so highly played is kinda wild

#

quick question, sorry if this has been asked. I haven't played outlaw for a few expansions and I wasn't sure by reading the wowhead guide: When we get Ace Up Your Sleeve procs, and it only refills like 3 combo points, do you just keep spamming BtE or do you build to 5 before using your BtE proc. it seems like there's very little time before the glow disappears to use it?

keen belfry
#

mucinex

sudden narwhal
vivid vessel
#

glow means nothing btw

#

bte doesnt do more damage after ace or smth

sudden narwhal
#

oh ok, I think i was used to the vanish bte spam from before

vivid vessel
#

blizzard just decided it would glow when it reset

sudden narwhal
#

of course

#

naturally

tulip warren
#

When should I use Sinister Strike vs Pistol shot as a builder?

#

Or is it always when I got 6stacks of Opportunity and maybe when I have how many combo points its useful?

remote pecan
#

1-3cps or max stacks, there's an optimisation in the faq but dw about that yet

tulip warren
#

aa ye figured, so I guess its kinda almost always worth to pistol shot then?

gaunt phoenix
#

If you are at 3 stacks of opportunity, you use it when between 1-3 CPs, otherwise sinister strike

If you are at 6 stacks of opportunity, it always has priority over sinister strike

And then Blade flurry in aoe always has priority over them

sacred wolf
#

think it was brought up before but I forget, if youre at 5cp and BTE is off cd, do you SS to 7 or slam the Dispatch

Thats the optimization

frail veldt

aaah okay gotcha gotcha

#

I thought it got simplified

#

im still getting used to that rule

feels so backwards

It was established they can read the optimization when they understand the generic rule

whats the dps diff with the optimization again?
