#

What I struggled with for the longest time is learning that it's better to not go for max combo point finishers, it sounds silly looking back at it, but it's something I had to re-learn after not touching rogue since WotLK

cinder relic
#

No?

#

ah sorry, i try to use everything if available but if bte up and AR close to rdy i hold it

U guys are really good at this

Or do you guys know Where i can find someone to look att my logs ?

well 0.8s during AR and 1s outside

more or less spamming keys ^^

#

but will check that

cinder relic
#

I don't even know what youre complaining about here past "encounter design sucks and no new encounters will fix it"

#

How is every spec even doing the same thing here

wintry solar
#

I think he doesn't like the raid this season

cinder relic
#

Which is fine Ig?

#

Nothing wrong with disliking a raid

wintry solar
#

Naw

cinder relic
#

I'd say the whole spec variation thing is like, the entirety of the enjoyment of the game lol

#

I main rogue, cuz i love how rogue feels, even if it's undertuned rn lol

wintry solar
#

Well the original context was the hero trees and how there's less freedom and adding new stuff isn't necessarily a good thing

#

And there's less choices because of hero trees

#

Since not every spec has access to all 3

cinder relic
#

I don't follow

#

How do hero talents relate to less choices

wintry solar
#

One hero tree exceeds in something that X spec can't take advantage of

ornate vault
#

hello here. as fatebound, with stage 2+ rtb. if i have 5 PC, with BTE up. i have to SS then BTE (so maybe overcap PC). or i press BTE with 5 PC?

cinder relic
#

Ss

cinder relic
wintry solar
#

Like if deathstalker was super busted in AoE, outlaw couldn't take advantage of it. Hypothetically speaking if that were to happen.

cinder relic
#

Well that just makes no sense

#

It's like saying shadow dance is broken for outlaw but it just can't get access to it

wintry solar
#

Idk, it's just an interpretation. I don't agree with him

cinder relic
#

Specs are designed in the box they exist within yk

#

Gotcha

wintry solar
#

I'd love for him to clarify though

#

Personally I never cared about encounter design when outlaw is fun

cinder relic
#

I think this raid looks a little on the simple Side but

#

First raid of a new design philosphy

#

And first raid of the expansion

hollow creek
#

!log

wintry solar
#

Imma be honest, I don't think I dig it tbh. I'm a sucker for themes and this one just ain't it imo. Void stuff ain't my cup of tea so I guess I'm predestined to have uninteresting raids this expac.

#

Unless they pull an Undermine and pull something out of their hat.

river wing
#

I don't particularly like the raid but that's partially because of tuning
also partially because I hate the dragons
everything else is...okay, crown is kinda anti-outlaw but that's how it is

wintry solar
#

I get that. I had to stop judging raids based on tuning because I found myself judging them unfairly.

elder river
#

we using dungeon slice when simming for m+?

wintry solar
#

Undermine was fun as hell when I didn't play outlaw

river wing
#

Undermine was real good when I was playing it on Sin yeah

stiff hawk
#

my main concern about this season / Expac is how bad the addon situation is

#

Which everyone expected

#

but still is messy and annoying

strong kindle
#

when the last time outlaw got a world first kill? the spec is always in sub/sin prison in raid get used to it

stiff hawk
#

Endboss?

#

i think never happened

fallen zodiac
#

Catalyst charges are once every 2 weeks yes?

river wing

yes

stiff hawk
#

Yes

hardy thicket
#

I just feel like im playing a dumbed down version of everything right now but im kinda having fun so not that upset about the raid yet

hollow temple
#

is there any addon i can track my rolls to make sure i dont overwrite them when rerolling?

tawdry latch
#

Which rogue spec is the best for shadowguard leveling ?

hollow temple
tawdry latch
#

Interesting

hollow temple
#

for the normal start pull id say sub

#

for bigger pull assa i liked more

tawdry latch
#

Can u explain it a bit in depth?

#

Cuz I am struggling and each run takes like 2.5 min while every single other class is able to do it in 1.20 min

hollow temple
#

with the 7 guards pull (usually the small pull at the beginning) i did it as sub because i could just nuke down these packs really quick

#

for the bigger pulls i tried it with assa and had more controll over the big packs with the bleds and dots

#

just felt nicer, there is no science behind xD

hollow temple
unkempt dew
#

I hope that outlaw preforms better in m+

hollow temple
#

its very strong in phys comp

#

did 98k overall in Skyreach yesterday

#

very surprising, or must be a bug in dmg meter idk

# cinder relic I don't even know what youre complaining about here past "encounter design sucks...

What I’m trying to say is that for a very long time now, WoW’s encounter design has leaned too heavily on pure numerical tuning and universally shared mechanics.
No matter the class, everyone is essentially doing the same thing: dealing damage, moving to handle mechanics, and using defensives to stay alive.
The differences between specs mostly come down to rotation, plus some variation in mobility and survivability tools.
Encounters rarely present problems that actually require you to leverage your class’s unique toolkit.
If anything, there’s really only one clear example left: dk gripping targets

I’ve also talked about the Rogue experience, the RPG way.
sneaking through packs in stealth, pickpocketing, sapping targets, chaining stuns, it used to feel so distinct. Now those mechanics feel completely meaningless.
At this point, my Rogue doesn’t feel any different from playing a Fury Warrior. The only real differences are the names of the abilities, the rotation, and how the damage is delivered.

The game is still fun, but I expect more from it.

grim spear
#

yep

stiff hawk
#

I mean they shifted the focus from Mechanics 1 has to deal with

#

to the whole raid mostly

#

So you are only as strong as the weakest link

#

Back in Legion where Rogue was prime soaking material

grim spear
#

Raids might genuinely be hard to make feel distinct, but dungeons should be where class identity really shines
where different comps bring different solutions.

#

Right now, though, it’s all just a pure numbers check, with no real sense of experimentation or adventure.

wintry solar
#

I get it now

#

I do believe I agree

frigid olive
#

the secondary stats on the item you use manaflux on doesnt matter right? the tier piece stats overwrite them correct?

wintry solar
#

I think the last time rogue had anything like that was tol Dagor and that locked gate

frigid olive
#

you just want the highest ilvl item for that slot regardless of stats

grim spear
#

So where’s the balance?

mighty pivot
#

it is kind of funny that lockpicking and pickpocket are essentially useless. Make trickster use pickpocket rotationally, cowards

grim spear
#

In fact, stealth being folded into the damage rotation is a direct result of that logic

#

once the rotation becomes the only thing distinguishing classes and specs, your unique traits have to be pushed into it.

mighty pivot
#

I don't think having stealth as part of your rotation is inherently bad either. It's how it's implemented that is causing problems

#

annoying interactions like vanish resetting mobs, or needing to restealth out of combat, or the first dance taking ages to count down will of course make players hate stealth in group pve

grim spear
#

From an RPG perspective, that actually doesn’t feel bad.

mighty pivot
#

they can just implement it in a way that it doesn't disrupt as much and you can still get some stealthy feeling

wintry solar
#

Stealthless combat is fine but yeah they gotta make stealth usable for something

#

Remember in Legion when outlaw didn't have sap but did have parlay?

#

I thought that was funny at the time

mighty pivot
#

it replaced blind

#

it was nice flavour

wintry solar
#

Yeah....

hardy thicket
#

Rogues utility in m+ is fine its a matter of blizzard just nuking the use of these to prevent mandatory rogue dungeons etc.

wintry solar
#

Still 2nd best outlaw tho

#

Or 3rd depending on mood

mighty pivot
hardy thicket
#

I get where you are coming from but is disagree. I'd rather not be dependant on a certain class to get leverage in a dungeon

#

Or in raid

mighty pivot
#

also single target CC being so inferior to aoe

wintry solar
#

Idk I'm conflicted. On one hand I like the idea of having a rogue pickpocket keys to a locked gate normally unlocked through other means but on the other there's how it'd effect M+

river wing
mighty pivot
#

it's ok we can pick locks of boxes with 30g in

stiff hawk
#

We can disable the lasers in Nexus Point!!!

#

Who said we have no utility !?

midnight ridge
river wing
#

and we don't know counts yet, so maybe it's 100% useless instead

#

(also engineers can do it too)

mighty pivot
#

SL had some class/profession interactions in dungeons

#

technically tww too with priory

sinful saddle
#

One question, I had some "success" as a Outlaw beginner in Log Parsing with a little over average logs on 5/9 bosses and some rather "unsuccessful" parses on the other ones. Im simming at 70k DPS and got to around 51k DPS over 6-7 Mins at the dungeon Dummy.

My question is anyone here that is willing to look into my rotation and logs and help me improve?

mighty pivot
#

are you simming patchwerk with full buffs? you can sim for target dummy which is more helpful if you want to check what needs to be improved

sinful saddle
#

Oh I see, thy very much im looking into that tomorrow 👍

vivid vessel
#

also priests have mindsoothe, mages have mass invis, and any tank can do any skip with meld

but it wasn't enough

#

Ye

mighty pivot
river wing
#

yeah it's one of the few specs that don't feel like autopilot still

#

not hard anymore, but still takes work

sinful saddle
#

Im not completely new, played some assa in tww at the end, but not that much and picked up outlaw for midnight cause it was most fun to me while leveling. Have a decent amount of playtime for other classes tho, I feel like I'm playing the mechanics of this tear all right, but the CD management and to pump over the whole fight for good logs are not feeling naturally easy compared to other tiers and classes 😅

wintry solar
river wing
#

(but, well, current tuning just sucks balls too)

sinful saddle
wintry solar
#

Oh y'all are getting 4?

#

I'm getting 20% on my outlaw

#

Y'all made someone mad ig idk

vivid vessel
hardy thicket
balmy topaz
#

Did he like my raid leading smile

vivid vessel
balmy topaz
#

fuck it's over NOOOO

hardy thicket
#

My point is I dont mind them preventing use of stealth being a niche cuz i dont want to be dependent on certain classes for leverage. Same applies to priest or any tank.

#

As long as they are consistent

vivid vessel
#

ok but then why dont we get other utility like every other class

#

if our utility is made useless

hardy thicket
#

Yeah id be onboard with that

#

Again i want them to be consistent

zinc briar
#

so i have to take the decision, tomorrow i have to craft items and go full to one spec

#

seems like i have to got sub or assa

vivid vessel
#

why do you have to craft tomorrow

zinc briar
#

m+ and mythic raid

#

cant slack more

vivid vessel
#

wdym slack

#

just so you know

#

the high end guilds usually dont even craft week 1

zinc briar
#

i mean stop trolling

#

with random gear etc

vivid vessel
#

weapons crafts are often delayed

#

till you killed the weapon bosses

#

:D

zinc briar
#

whats the dps gain of embellishment?

vivid vessel
#

no clue

#

small prolly

zinc briar
#

are u going full sub?

#

tomelvis?

uncut stratus
#

possible to track rtb buffs through blizzards cd manager? was using zac's wa before so i know when to kir but RIP

vivid vessel
#

or sin

#

some bosses i might do as outlaw but

hasty warren
#

Hi pirates

vivid vessel
#

im thinking boss 1 outlaw, boss 2 outlaw, boss 3 outlaw, dragon sin, vanguard sin or outlaw, last boss sub or sin

zinc briar
#

we need that much mastery?

#

to play sub

hasty warren
#

best stat with vers

uncut stratus
#

apparently atrocity UI tracks rtb buffs, but I don't want a whole UI makeover

mighty pivot
#

rtb is on cdm

uncut stratus
#

yep see it on cdm, but not seeing it popup as like which buff I have from rtb, only in the top right corner where buffs usually go

mighty pivot
#

by default rtb is shown as a bar but you can move it to show as a buff on your cdm buffs

#

post a pic of the buff tab of your cdm if it doesn't show

uncut stratus
#

whats the buff called for 2 set

#

yeah i see the bar you're talking about

static crescent
#

So, at end of beta outlaw looked pretty decent, then got some bug fix that was supposed the boost the damage a lot hence they reverted the aura+bf change. Does someone recall what the bug fix was in the beta cycle?

uncut stratus
#

double trouble?

mighty pivot
#

you cannot show specifc rtb buffs, you set cdm to show you whatever rtb buff is active (any of the 4 stages)

#

2 is double trouble yes

uncut stratus
#

just wanna make sure what the buff name is actually called lol

mighty pivot
#

ye double trouble, or just never kir if the icon is just a purple die (one of a kind, the first stage of rtb). With KIR you rarely have to think because of loaded dice

tribal sapphire
#

Any way to count number of mobs near? Being hit by flurry? Had a wa but anymore

# static crescent So, at end of beta outlaw looked pretty decent, then got some bug fix that was s...

you mean this work of art?
Outlaw
All damage increased by 15%.
Developers’ notes: Outlaw’s performance on the beta had been hampered by a significant bug. Now that it’s fixed, this damage bonus was not needed to keep them competitive. We are also adjusting Blade Flurry to keep AOE damage as intended in light of these changes.
Melee damage reduced by 10%.
Blade Flurry causes your abilities to strike nearby enemies for 30% of damage dealt (was 25%).

#

Idk what was the bug they fixed that was doing 15% aura + 10% melee damage equivalent

static crescent
#

Yes, thats what I was wondering

sterile dune
#

Blade flurry op now?

static crescent
#

Becouse outlaw did perform well in few dungeons atleast in some high keys at the end of beta, so would be interesting if the bug was something significant

#

just never heard what it was

#

(why the fuck also wouldnt they mention it there)

mystic berry
#

But it might also be cap

normal forge
static crescent
#

With all the dooming (which i personally constantly do) im actually starting to wonder with pull sizes going only few mobs over 8 usually, could outlaw even be competetive in m+ to some shitty degree

vivid vessel
#

i actually dont remmeber

#

oh ye no

#

melees were going down

#

right

#

thats was the bug

static crescent
#

Was that a significant damage gain to have it fixed?

vivid vessel
#

well

#

melees are 15% of our damage now

#

idk

river wing
static crescent
#

Yeah, and in Academy that is just turbo padding there mostly, doesnt reduce the duration of the instance to blow up on that first pull/boss

vivid vessel
#

5 to 10%

#

well

#

not 5 to 10%

#

but 5 to 10% of your details

#

ye

static crescent
#

Okey so that amounts to pretty much nothing

vivid vessel
#

no that amount to a 5 to 10% buff is waht i mean

#

fixing the melee thing

#

idk 10% would be the very best case tho

#

i cant really find logs where melees actually disapeared

river wing
#

Pit has a lot of mobs but you don't want to pull 15 at once
Skyreach is often just a few huge mobs in a pack, so three packs is still like 8-10
and Seat is just...uhhhh
basically you can do a shitty crazy pull at the start and then it's packs of 3 to 7 the entire dungeon

vivid vessel
#

honestly idk

#

outlaw looked good on beta when it had that bug fixed and pre aura nerf

#

thats when you were looking decent in keys

#

then they aura nerfed it after but the bug was already fixed

static crescent
#

What was the aura nerf?

#

amount

vivid vessel
#

honestly i dont remember

#

they did a bunch of things

#

on beta

#

15% aura nerf

#

then 15% aura buff

#

i legit do not remmeber

static crescent
#

Yeah im just trying to understand how far from seeing outlaw doing good, did they change it to X direction

#

to have an idea where we are at now

#

like shitty stuff like 4% buff isnt much, but its closing some gap a bit to that situation where it was decent

#

I guess US people can start posting how they doing soon

#

Was really no content to test these weeks

#

I mean we are still dogshit becouse of raid buff/utility section, but theres a large leeway between being playable and pushing tittles

vivid vessel
#

i dont think outlaw is gonna be any good in keys

#

bf has never been this low

#

and you can kinda see how our aoe already look

#

if you look at a boss like paladin

slim hare
#

well on 8 targets some burst spec are doign same dmg as outlaw

vivid vessel
slim hare
#

without cd

vivid vessel
#

wdym

#

ah

#

well

#

ye

#

my point is

#

outlaw doesnt necesseraly get better wiht more targets

#

than other specs

#

its not a ultra scaler wiht more targets

#

we have linear scaling

static crescent
#

Yeah I get what you mean

vivid vessel
#

sub for example will have breakpoint when it will start doing a lot more damage than on 2 or 3 target

slim hare
#

legit don't care we are target cap they are not

vivid vessel
#

obviously vanguard isnt the best example to see

slim hare
#

how the fuck is that allowed

vivid vessel
#

but we dont have much more to go from

#

but its kinda easy to kinda infer it wont be good aoe in keys

#

cause we have 30% bf

#

without pc

#

we had 50% bf with pc in tww s3

static crescent
#

Yeah if things would be done correctly, outlaw should be top tier dps on a 8 mob pack that lives long

vivid vessel
#

and we did 0 aoe in tww s3

#

outlaw looked better in aoe in raid in s3 tww aswell

#

so ye

#

my take is that its gonna do 0 aoe in keys

#

but we will have decent st this time around

#

at least

slim hare
#

sure

vivid vessel
#

we only lose 5% from talents going into aoe

vivid vessel
#

outlaw st is decent this time

#

and we dont lose much st going aoe talent

#

(5%)

#

prolly the same cant be said of every spec

#

so i do think we will have quite good st in keys

#

more top tier than mid

static crescent
#

Yeah think ST is gonna be super fine, just doesnt pull that drastically, and as its not burst based it loses some value in m+

vivid vessel
#

but i mean sub is just gonna do more st so

#

:D

static crescent
#

Q_Q

#

and have burst windows aswell

#

oh well, il just prolly push on devourer and try to do an 10 on rogue

#

patch note waiting until friday again

vivid vessel
#

:D

#

sub loses less st going aoe build than us

#

outlaw really has fallen far

#

Idk exactly

queen forge
#

does AR still reduce GCD and scales with haste? i cant find the tooltip

polar kelp
#

Yep, but because ar isn't perma up it's not AS important

queen forge
#

does it scale with haste? the GCD reduction?

polar kelp
#

Yep, up to 25%. 25% haste is .8gcd, that's max

zinc briar
#

Ignoring AAcademy that sub will be better

#

Because of 1st pull

vivid vessel
#

prolly not

#

sub is tankier

#

has uncapped aoe

#

does more aoe

#

has more st

#

has cds

Someone knows?

#

I have to fix it

radiant wyvern
#

im worried, someone tell me assa isnt going to end up on top of the rogue specs

vivid vessel
#

between sub and assa

zinc briar
#

I preffer assa than sub

#

Both are boring, playing assa allows me to see a film meanwhile

#

Relax gaming watching videos

vivid vessel
#

if you are an outlaw player and tell me you prefer assa

vivid vessel
#

idk

woven hinge

i think sub will be a little better, bcs of the tierset gain

are they even bringing a rogue in rwf

zinc briar
#

Lets see what ohio rogues plays today

#

Like imexile

#

I think its gonna be sub

vapid salmon
vivid vessel
#

?

vivid vessel
#

assa is prolly default spec on most bosses with sub rn

#

could even be default on last

#

could be assa on every boss lol

vapid salmon
#

mmmm

zinc briar
#

Yeah seems like assa scales more than sub and outlaw with more ilvl

vivid vessel
#

nothing to do with scaling

vapid salmon
#

Every rogue spec channel is cool because people say the other specs are the best

vivid vessel
#

im right tho

#

just open wcl

slim hare
#

yep zac is prob right

vivid vessel
#

ok we take thinking cap one sec

zinc briar
slim hare
#

at least outlaw is the worse if you just have a little knowledge on how it works/perform usually

vivid vessel
#

crown is bettwen sub and assa, sub will do more damage p1, assa is more damage execute phase (whioch could be the only real damage of the fight), outlaw doesnt exist

vivid vessel
#

pure st, if you need to swap to adds you prolly go sub

#

just assa

radiant wyvern
#

how we get rogue tank is blizz just makes our damage so so bad, and then we slowly get some tank abilities added in throughout the expac

#

I'm so glad they buffed arms warrior whilst negletcting rouge

i think these 2 are kinda just pure st, but one has adds to swap to possibly so it wou.ld be sub prolly

is that sub tier set is 14%

most grps in hc didnt have 4p till last boss

need guy to close the discord,

#

Assassination really does seem to be the strongest.

slim hare
#

now that he is fulling dooming realising we suck

vivid vessel
#

assa doesnt swap off of boss

#

on a lot of these bosses

slim hare
#

next step is kill discord so we can have some change

vivid vessel
#

while outlaw and sub do

#

its also doing way better on drake idk why but this will change when boss is 2 t in mythic

mystic berry
#

next step is to close down

slim hare
#

we didnt do cheat

#

he just played

#

and realized he couldnt even appear on meter

if that fight was mythic difficulty

with current design fight

hardy vault

their reset is gonna be in like 5hrs

vivid vessel
#

you would play outlaw on it >?

hardy vault
#

probbaly

vivid vessel
#

did you play outlaw on dimmy prog

near rock
#

No I did not but mythic dimmy was substantially worse than heroic crown

vivid vessel
#

thats not true based on wcl tho

#

i had the conversation with lok yesterday

#

we looked significantly better on dimmy than we do on crown rn

near rock
#

I honestly do not care man all you do is rant 24/7 about how dogshit you think the spec is

#

I get it

vivid vessel
#

waht

#

im just asking lol

#

im genuily just asking if you would play current outlaw on current crown lol

#

why do you take it that way

#

also i think ranting about how dogshit the spec is when its dogshit is valid

mystic berry
#

They hate him for he spoke the truth

vivid vessel
#

i checked crown and i saw that r1 log is 2x outlaw damage

#

idk

#

i guess it could be worse !

brittle minnow
#

I mean... I went from maining rogue since legion, to playing mage because of how rogue looked/felt this tier

vivid vessel
#

my bad for wanting one tier where outlaw can be played without trolling :D

brittle minnow
#

Outlaw is always going to be the red headed step child of rogue. and that's of the class that's already one of the least played specs in the game.

trim vigil
#

I loved playing outlaw on the dimmy prog mmmmmh garf_sit

hardy vault
#

maybe even least played spec together with aug

placid ocean
#

We're also the only dps-only class that isn't in the top 5 dps

brittle minnow
#

Imo the problem outlaw is always going to have outside of tuning that walls it on people playing is the weapon issue.

radiant wyvern
#

outlaw 4700

hardy vault
#

ggs

midnight granite
#

Always has been

#

Feral has more players

brittle minnow
#

For most rogues it becomes, "why craft a sword/axe etc for outlaw when I can just craft a dagger and be allowed to flex TWO specs"

mystic berry
#

Their encounter design, focused on burst windows is quite hostile to current law, but yes, the fact we have to lock in into a different weapon also sucks

random stirrup
#

I would try outlaw on M vanguard with current tuning if my soon to be myth weapon were usable 🙂

hardy vault
#

i mean i 100% went into this tier saying i'll play outlaw or not rogue. because we still didn't have a rogue in roster but 3+ of my other possibilities it's an outlaw season

#

i'll suffer

#

but it's gonna be fine

mystic berry
#

Under the justification that ppl can simply reroll to the good one

brittle minnow
#

Which is kind of a problem of how they tune, where they also like to bring the top side down instead of the lower side up more. Though they're doing a bit more of the later this time around

wintry solar
#

Idk why y'all are bugging

#

All rogues blow so might as well play what you like

normal forge
#

it should be outlaw first, sub, then sin

instead of 3 warlock specs, wtf

Sub shouldn't be up there

I mean 5% dmg from set bonus

Not a good look when the literal best parser on the game doesn’t even use tier set

Think whole set was like 4.86% right

#

But thats 5% dmg amp for burst windows! Imagine at nexus point in the beam

#

BOOM

gloomy adder
#

Hate the statting on tier set

#

When are they making mastery useful

placid ocean
#

Guys, I have bad news. I was top dps in LFR last week. Blizzard is going to see this and think we need a nerf

river wing
#

ok here's a stupid idea
what if Outlaw mastery increased damage of all "left hand" abilities, i.e. offhand melee attacks, PS, BtE, and KS? (also Shiv but who cares)

stoic wagon

legit 2 buttons

proven ocean

Do u think outlaw is too easy to play perfectly?

stoic wagon
#

i don't think outlaw is easy compared to other specs

#

but way easier than last season for sure

proven ocean
#

No matter how easy a spec is it’ll always have a high ceiling

proven ocean

And a dps gap between the best and a “good” rogue

stoic wagon

of course even with an easy spec you won't get top 1, i'm saying its just boring

Even if outlaw is more cluncky compared to last season, is 30 times more fun to play than dual button sub

stoic wagon

agree

depends what's your goal

if you want to play competitive going outlaw is troll

if you just want high keys then whatever

Theyre fun if you dont take them super serious tho

if you try playing sub in pvp you'll definetly have some fun

cs isn't even fun to play and it keeps throwing bullshit match ups, i play it only for weekly drops. got a 9 euro terminal last time btw

We lost the point here

How can we force buffs for outlaw?

@vivid vessel did u make our new discord?

So we can close this one

on what slots should i send champ crest?

fickle relic

let's make protests in game

mighty pivot
fickle relic

we can block the raid entrance or something

vivid vessel

and they catch up cause they can copy strats from bosses instead of spending time doing them

once they catch up they can even get ahead etc, its always the same

im not saying the 6h diff doesnt make any diff

it's basically a general prio list for anything really
MH wep > chest/legs/head = trinkets (if you got good ones, that is) > boots/shoulders/gloves = rings/amulets (give more secondaries but no primary) > cloak/bracers/belt > OH wep

light kernel
#

or should i craft something else since i only do m+

river wing
#

nah if you only do M+, MH wep with myth crests is a solid craft

#

chances to get an MH myth drop in the vault first week outright aren't great

true dust
#

At least being the only rogue means less competition for gear! Got 2 set pieces in the nm raid because only two other people were rolling on it 🇼

light kernel
#

prolly craft MH and put sub/assa vault for OH dagger

after that get back onto outlaw vault

river wing
#

you have 4 druid specs, 3 DH specs, and 3 monk specs competing for them

it's 13 specs vs 9 for any other piece

im not too hopeful about outlaw aoe

considering no pc, 50 to 30% bf

and how it looks in raid aoe

Like guardian druid does almost as much damage as a dps rn

they just got nerfed

Which spec is better?

sub

next question

who's who in that scenario?

I'm saying that having a good tier set doesn't mean Ur spec is good

gleaming reef

formal thunder
#

ah, so rogue and everyone else, got it

gleaming reef
#

Having good tier set is just a bandaid

vivid vessel
#

the spec is sub

proven multiple tiers in a row !

timid zephyr
#

do i reroll frost mage or demo

cinder relic
#

It's not like mfo

untold wadi
cinder relic
#

Sub doesn't "just burst something down"

timid zephyr
#

is that popo

cinder relic
#

Sin is getting a bigger buff, top sub logs already have their tier set

#

I think sin is gonna be solid af this tier

vivid vessel
#

thats why i think sub could be good

#

but

#

sub does burst down adds in p1 of last boss

wild pelican
#

guys guys, it doesnt matter. you dont play outlaw to pump. you play outlaw to have a blicky and you can gamble

vivid vessel
#

and it has cds on the last add

#

that other people dont rn

surreal flower
#

Orbs on dragons are quivering in their boots at the thought of my black powder casts rn

vivid vessel
#

which could be important

#

or could be not

#

who knows

cinder relic
#

I think alleria could be either way

#

The specs do different things

vivid vessel
#

i think its just

cinder relic
#

But I think it's really incorrect to just say "it's a sub tier"

vivid vessel
#

if the last phase is 2min30 its assa

#

if its 3min30

loud blaze
#

I just wish they would come out in the open and say, "We think rogue has been too good in previous expansions. We have put our energy into other classes this season."

vivid vessel
#

its sub

#

thats my thinking rn

#

because both spec do the same st really

#

it just dependfs on which one get more cds in

#

tho the boss could be completly different in mythic

#

i have no clue

cinder relic
#

If it's 3:30 it could be assa, cuz execute dm is broken

#

But yes, kill timers will matter ofc

vivid vessel
#

well ye but you would get only 1 cd in exec

#

and sub would get 3 cds

severe charm
#

alleria feels like an assa fight more than anything

vivid vessel
#

i think one more sub cd is just more damage than assa at that point

vivid vessel
#

sub also get 2 cds in p2 rn

#

while assa dont

#

obviously its

#

its hc

#

so idk

#

how it will change in mythic

severe charm
vivid vessel
#

but on paper rn sub is better on every phase but last

#

and on last if sub get 3 cds it would prolly get better aswell

#

than 2 cd assa

vivid vessel
severe charm
#

and you can't sleep on that execute damage assa gets

vivid vessel
#

there was no hard engage in p1 dimmy

#

either

cinder relic
#

Just depends where u want rogue to be useful

#

If the entire fight is fake except execute then u play sin

vivid vessel
#

you cant just take a whole raid of uiseless p1 specs for example

severe charm
#

i mean the most useful place for us at the moment is not in the raid lol

vivid vessel
#

woudlnt work

cinder relic
#

If u need more p1 damage sub helps

cinder relic
#

Ur going to play 1 rogue

#

And rogue isn't that bad on alleria

vivid vessel
#

and that rogue is me

#

outalw

fossil lintel
#

And when would you play outlaw?

severe charm
#

i stand by the fact that we are just the butter passing robot from rick & morty xept is attroph

#

maybe on guardian

#

maybe not

cinder relic
fossil lintel
#

I mean on that boss

cinder relic
#

On alleria not at all

fossil lintel
#

It's joever

vivid vessel
#

in my opinion rn its

  • 1st boss outlaw
  • 2nd boss assa or outlaw, depends on gear and which does more st, rn i cant really tell (if adds are an issue outlaw helps killing them while asa dont tho)
  • 3rd is outlaw or sub if you need to swap to adds, otherwise either does more st between the 3
  • dragon looks bonker for assa for some reason but idk im not sure yet
  • vanguard seems to be even between assa and outlaw rn
severe charm
#

and isn't attroph worthless if most of the damage for mythic alleria comes from environment

My grandma had wheels she'd be a bike as well
