Yes but people love to cry

spark forum
#

yea but it's good for rogue, feels like blizz doesn't know what to do with this class

pine scaffold
#

"best state rogue has been" is not same as in a good state tbh

#

best spec is 200 io below

pastel cloud
#

tbh with current version of outlaw i would enjoy Hidden Opportunity

spark forum
#

numbers can be tuned but for the longest time rogue was easily the clunkiest most button bloated pos class

#

and it tanked the playrate massively for a reason

pine scaffold
#

Yes i know, i've been playing outlaw for ages

#

clunkiest, no. Since the rotation was actually making sense and it flowed kinda nice

glossy wind
#

they buff outlaw again ?!

pine scaffold
#

no?

bright cedar
#

no, sizeable nerf

#

Check pins

glossy wind
#

kk thx

pine scaffold
#

Im interested where they took this data and was thinking that the nerf is justified

#

outlaw is ONLY working in m+ with a melee comp

fathom bramble
#

nerfed by more than any other spec so idk

#

it would seem to indicate that they either didn't do the math on the change

#

or think we are the best spec in the game

pine scaffold
#

and still performs approx 10% worse than the other 2 specs within the group

formal knot
#

outlaw was dangerously close to being viable, panic button was pressed

unkempt dew
#

I don’t care about raiding I just want it to be a blast in m+

pine scaffold
#

NOTE: only in overall, and overall should be checked as the prio dmg and single target is good, but anyways kekdog

quick girder
#

blame the pvpers there crying about outlaw

#

boom

pine scaffold
#

shouldn't be*

fathom bramble
#

I mean pvp has their own balance changes/team

spark forum
#

They made pvp specific changes along with pve this time around

#

so don't think that's the case

fathom bramble
#

Course i’m always down to blame pvpers anyway

pine scaffold
#

XD

wintry solar
fathom bramble
#

Good

wintry solar
#

Even though we're justified garf_sit

trim harbor
wintry solar
#

Because tbf PvP is the reason we haven't been getting new glyphs

trim harbor
#

they are clueless with rouge but compared to tww rouge is in a good spot

wintry solar
#

So we're tit for tat

fathom bramble
#

The massively subjective “viable” and “any content” are doing some heavy lifting there

pine scaffold
fathom bramble
#

We were in a better spot most of tww than we have been in this tier

pine scaffold
#

It is actually in a good spot, dont get me wrong, but BARELY

fathom bramble
restive bluff
#

no raid buff, no grip, no lust, no brez, no damage

pine scaffold

3,6% dmg reduction PepeFull

#

i dont get why did they even touch rogue it was not OP or anything

zinc briar
#

so its a nerf?

pine scaffold
pine scaffold
#

but yes, its a nerf, check pinned

#

6% singe target nerf and 4% aoe

#

I literally swapped from sub to outlaw and they pull this shit

pine scaffold
#

go assa now

That's what you get for fotm rerolling

#

I think those ytbers headlines like “outlaw BROKEN?!” every now and then are f*cking us

Yea waste of vault mainhander 289 wep

Like if devs tune thing based only on what they read on their feed

#

i blame wox and casual

#

releasing videos like "outlaw is so broken we timed a 21 with 17 deaths"

vapid salmon
#

Fun fact: I rolled a guardian Druid this week and now they are nerfing dmg by 15%

bright cedar
#

i rolled an aug, spent like 800k gold gearing it

vapid salmon
#

Maybe they are just after me HOLY

bright cedar
#

and did like 50 dungeons in a week to gear it

vapid salmon
#

idk I have no clue about that bear yet

fathom bramble
#

And aug isn’t getting a 6%

bright cedar
#

yeah

trim harbor
trim harbor
fathom bramble
#

To their damaging spells

#

Idk the exact ratio, but obviously a lot of their dam comes from buffing allies

pine scaffold
#

which is actually like 2,5% nerf overall or something like that

#

just off the top of my head

tepid galleon
#

so outlaw worse than sub now?

#

or assa better than all specs?

glass shard
#

wasnt outlaw the worst always this xpac

pine scaffold
#

nah

#

best of the 3

#

at least after the buffs

fathom bramble
#

By most metrics it would have been considered the worst pre-cloud

keen orbit
#

Surely more changes coming

fathom bramble
#

Probably best rn

#

Maybe worst again who knows ?

trim harbor
lucid sparrow

the new boss has a secret legendary sword

i need someone to tell me what spec to play on my rogue

@tepid galleon play what u like

they all have pros and cons its just what pros u like more

if 8 bte in a row doesnt get u goin idk what would

#

bte go brr

manic quartz
#

I did zero research when i decided to level a outlaw rogue as a arms warrior main just to see myself basically playing a class with the same damage profile, thought i was gonna do burst damage lol

nova coyote
#

oooof yeah no

#

unfortunate

light kernel
#

@manic quartz that would be assa or sub

pine scaffold
#

just roll back to arms

#

arms is giga

manic quartz
#

i still play arms just wanted an alt

pine scaffold
#

time to level up survi tbh

drifting sleet

Delete outlaw

Right when I spend some hours gearing up my outlaw rogue and learning how to play it, nerfed. Smh

(Insert first time meme here)

It is actually, usually main enhance shaman so you'd think id be used to this

Outlaw playable? Pls nerf fast. Blizz devs 100%

Still fun to play imo

this spec is such a struggle sometimes

#

i have a feeling i should keep it rolling on 2s

#

cause otherwise i'm just getting 1s

hybrid flax

legit dont expect anything else ever with tuning

#

but how the hell does brewmaster still keep bob and weaving around nerfs

We had fun for a bit

jagged plover

why is the world ragebaiting me?

sand berry

It really was too good to be intended garf

Time to reroll. Its over, dead class, meme spec, uhhh what other doomer staples am I forgetting

valid hound
#

what are we rerolling to??

#

devourer dh

dusky onyx
#

some one at blizzard lost in dps to an outlaw

jagged plover
#

idk how

#

even in zacs comp which is literally fucking maximising outlaw damage

#

he still gets gapped

#

how is that allowed

#

the favouritism is so blatant

lime socket
#

idk its kinda deserved for how much of a staple outlaw was

clever river
#

Blizzard will be the seemingly the last people to give outlaw a buff, it almost feels like they had to, but man are they quick to take shit back. They fucking hate this spec I swear. Wait they are doing dmg NERFED

mild field
#

Hi, idk rogue tbh, but want to know if it's a nerfed or a buff for outlaw ?
Du have numbers in % of up / nerf ? Thanks in advance

clever river
#

yeah its a nerf details in the pins

sly hearth
tepid galleon
#

good thing i have an rshaman

jagged plover
#

WHEN DO I GET TO HAVE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OVERALL

#

they don't even pretend to care

#

no dev notes

#

no one is home

narrow wyvern
#

Who the hell is keeping these devs in check?!

inland cairn
#

i really hate how in these blue posts they seem to just randomly pick classes to add developer notes for, like why are they not on every change

jagged plover
#

if i lived anywhere near blizzards office i'd be there with a sign

sly hearth
#

the real question

#

the real one

jagged plover
#

i truly just need someone to look me in the face and say this makes sense

faint pendant
#

it's not random

sly hearth
#

how demo still not nerfed

#

how that even possible

faint pendant
#

demo is bad in raid

inland cairn
#

i didnt say random changes

jagged plover
#

yeah we're good on one shitter boss per tier garf

sly hearth
jagged plover
#

lets go

inland cairn
#

also cherry picking vorasius is kinda crazy

faint pendant
# inland cairn read it again

the developer notes are explaining why are they doing the changes
the screenshot is explaining why are they doing the changes

inland cairn
#

yeah for warrior

dusky temple
#

blizz 100% hate the rouge

inland cairn
#

for rogue its just the changes with no develper explanation

keen cedar
#

Ye, nerf rogue spec, least played class in entire game xD

dusky temple
#

dks get so many buffs in all 11 and 12

keen cedar
sly hearth
fathom bramble
#

Even the hyper cherrypicked vorasius doesn’t make these notes make sense

faint pendant
fathom bramble
#

Unholy is above us in your choice example that is omega specific

#

And is nerfed less

inland cairn
#

go look at the real bosses

faint pendant
#

I mean vorasius is the most benchmark type fight therefore the most appropriate
but yeah demand for specs in cutting edge fights is a bit different

unkempt dew
#

Lets hope they reverse the nerf because we are commenting on wowhead

valid hound
#

im considering fury warrior as an alt – how does it compare to outlaw? in terms of playstyle

jagged plover
#

the real reason is outlaw might have actually been the rogue spec of choice on an endboss, and if that is the case the world would implode so blizzard is really saving us all

river wing
fathom bramble
#

There’s a reason why melee take all the top spots on that fight

#

And it’s not because melee are good on a simple st benchmark fight

river wing
#

yeah Vora has lots of movement for ranged

#

and free uptime for melee

fathom bramble

And then starfall comes in swinging too thanks to the grubs

# jagged plover WHEN DO I GET TO HAVE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OVERALL

Blizzard just doesn't know how strong the Cloud Cover buff was for Outlaw, maybe they just looked 5 minutes on discord pins because they don't give a fuck about this class anymore and saw that it was like 6% gain for Sub and assumed it would be the same for outlaw, because 1 minute more worktime that isn't spend on DK and DH is to much.

hasty warren
#

hi pirates

jagged plover
#

the crazy thing is

wintry solar
jagged plover
#

we weren't even that fucking good

dusky temple
#

thas was a joke

jagged plover
#

it would make more sense if we were giga gapping topping meters

orchid oracle
#

Dk discord still in slowmode

jagged plover
#

but this shit is still mediocre

wintry solar
#

They probably didn't like cloud cover being that good relative to the joke

thick coyote
#

I do like when people take the 95th percentile (which is pretty much perfect conditions) of a class which relies heavily on good play and up time. Then be like ITS PERFORMING WELL THOUGH, but without good conditions the damage nosedives fast to being mediocre.

wintry solar
#

Tree I mean

sand berry
#

it's fine they'll give us 4% single target and nerf blade flurry next week garf

hybrid flax
#

How close is fatebound now comparsion , roughly guessing

jagged plover
#

95th percentile is just standard because no point balancing based on people who look at their keyboard to press skills

wintry solar
#

They see those big numbers and automatically assume it's dead

valid hound
#

Vorasius is the perfect encounter for a cloud outlaw because you dont even move that much while dealing dmg, so you're all the time in the cloud, hence why it's normal that rogue is top 2 dps on that boss

torpid hedge
#

!m

clever wasp
jagged plover
#

i mean cloud ||is bugged anyway so that you refresh the buff when it expires regardless of if you're in it or not||

#

so that isn't even a factor

clever river
valid hound
#

lets all abandon outlaw OMEGAKEKW

so they're left with no more players to play it

thick coyote
livid kindle
#

lets just abandon this game is a better approach

wintry solar
#

This is a WoD demo situation for sure, we just gotta bait blizz to say it

jagged plover
fathom bramble
#

Regardless of the percentile you prefer to pick outlaw is really good on vorasius

jagged plover
#

it doesn't change a lot

fathom bramble
#

But it’s also just a boss that doesn’t matter…

clever river
wintry solar
#

It adds to the vault and that's important enough for me NODDERS

fathom bramble
#

Pick 10-20th percentile actually so the true best specs show up

#

The “approachable” ones

fiery pendant
unkempt dew
#

Just uncap us and everything will be alright

jagged plover
#

even uncappedo our damage probably wouldnt be worth pulling around garf

river wing
blissful zinc
#

We must either sacrifice raid or m+ and sandbag

#

I vote for raid to be sacrificed

river wing
#

wtf are you on about
we are already gonna be at best average in both

blissful zinc
#

we were not average

river wing
#

yes, we were in the top 30% - still behind like 5-6 specs in either

blissful zinc
#

Lets be real

#

i would say we are top 5 in m+

jagged plover
#

dawg

#

we're the worst dps in a pure physical comp

blissful zinc
#

With physical comp at least

jagged plover
#

we are not top 5

silver venture
#

is assa gonna be meta spec rn for m+? i wanted to reroll for a while

jagged plover
#

and that's purely overall

blissful zinc
river wing
jagged plover
#

that's ignoring the fact rogue brings absolutely fucking nothing to the comp

blissful zinc
#

Feral druid is pad dmg merchants

jagged plover
#

feral does more overall and brings druid buff

#

rogue does less damage and brings

#

nothing

tough ocean
#

better util than rogue

blissful zinc
#

Im not saying the nerfs are deserved

river wing
#

in general
arguing that Rogue can't be good at damage in both raid and M+
should make you think "ok why would they bring us then"

#

and the answer is
"they wouldn't"

jagged plover
#

please man

#

and then look at the patch notes for warrior

#

and then tell me that makes sense

blissful zinc
#

He still made the group no?

jagged plover
#

are you ragebaiting

#

what the fuck does that mean

river wing
#

that's his group
like that's people he's running with

jagged plover
#

they play with zac because he's a god gamer not because outlaw is actually good

river wing
#

literally best outlaw in the world, on general basis

fluid meadow
#

can replace outlaw to any spec and would be better anytime

blissful zinc
#

Its a competitor for a spot in arguably the second best comp in m+

jagged plover
#

dude you are not real

#

you're simply not a real person

blissful zinc
#

No need to be emotional

#

Blizzard is clueless but outlaw is not dogshit

fluid meadow
#

"second best comp" there are legit 2 outlaw team in the whole world

river wing
#

right now it's not
next reset it will be a median damage spec with no utility

blissful zinc
river wing
#

which kinda does make it dogshit

blissful zinc
#

Maybe hunter

tough ocean
#

bm

blissful zinc
#

Dont think ret makes the list

worthy ice
#

ii was telling my raid that i need outlaw wep for lura, can i stop coping ?

jagged plover
#

i didn't know you could just opt to not deal the damage required to kill the mobs

#

my bad

blissful zinc
jagged plover
#

okay but someone has to actually kill those other mobs yes

blissful zinc
#

For example first pull algethar the vine lashers dmg

unkempt dew
jagged plover
#

like you can't just clear the dungeon without clearing those mobs

blissful zinc
#

Ye but some people misunderstand when u say prio dmg

jagged plover
#

okay but the damage isn't worthless

#

is it less impactful than prio damage

#

yes

tough ocean
#

so let the idiots misunderstand

jagged plover
#

doesn't mean it isn't required

blissful zinc
fluid meadow
#

imagine disable blade flurry and not doing aoe with outlaw and the group still has better dmg at overall

blissful zinc
river wing
jagged plover
#

i had to scroll down to 160 to find a 3rd group playing this comp btw

#

OP for sure!

blissful zinc
#

Never said OP and I agree that the nerfs are undeserved

hasty warren
blissful zinc
#

OP is dk dh aug

#

Warlock too ig

jagged plover
#

then stop with the cuck shit trying to make sense of the nerfs

#

there is none

blissful zinc
#

I never did 😂

jagged plover
#

'arguably a top 5 spec in m+'

unkempt dew
jagged plover
#

yeah bro

fluid meadow
#

where is ele nerf?its too op there is a team with high keys

river wing
blissful zinc
#

But when has ever blizzard took m+ into consideration when balancing specs

jagged plover
#

if you take overall in a complete vacuum and ignore utility completely there's maybe an arugment

#

if you don't do that

blissful zinc
#

They are clueless

jagged plover
#

0000000000%

clever wasp
#

make so KS works like spinning crane kick where u can use other non channel abilities while its going

#

🧠

jagged plover
#

no hero, no raid buff, no utility, no strong niche

#

literally just damage and you're not even the best at that

blissful zinc
#

Well.. sadly blizzard doesnt care about m+

#

They look at raid charts and call it a day

jagged plover
#

i mean

#

even there

#

if you actually look per boss instead of all boss

#

we're being hard carried by first 3 bosses

#

and who gives a fuck about those

obsidian walrus
#

I mean I don’t understand the changes they did, rogues were not op at all

#

They changed hero talents and tried to compensate with aura buffs

#

And failed

#

outlaw might have been better than sub

#

Arnt you happy

had to fix it

Why can’t outlaw be decent for one season

It was not even one season it was like 2 weeks

jagged plover

we were in strong in like, s2 tww or s3 df

#

its impossible to enjoy the game with such wild swings in class tunings

jagged plover
#

prime time

#

spec was fun and we were strong

#

now spec is ass and we're gimped

#

sick

obsidian walrus
#

It’s weird to me how they decide to do these changes

#

You have to parse like 90+ in raid to be in top 5 dps and the other dps are doing 70+

#

And they get less of a nerf

#

In m+ we don’t have the biggest burst AOE or they ST

#

While demo gets untouched

#

And aug gets a smaller nerf

jagged plover
#

i dont think m+ is even a consideration at all unless class stacking happens

faint pendant
#

ye

#

it's not

jagged plover
#

then they're like oh yeah probably should do something about that

#

otherwise they do not give a flying fuck

obsidian walrus
#

I mean even in raid look ddh

#

And they get the same nerf

jagged plover
#

hero spec

#

can't compare

#

we are not the same

faint pendant
#

they are pushing devo

#

of course they won't overnerf it

dusky onyx
#

dev dh is new shiny toy it was destined to be op and in meta atleast one season

obsidian walrus
#

Aug also at least in the past to top dmg as Aug you had to react to peoples cds

#

Now its brain dead and top dps

On all of the hard bosses in mythic

weary goblet
#

Hear me out...

Tinfoilhat

They want Rogue to be so crazy unpopular, so they can "safely" do a full rework without diehard mains being too upset

jagged plover
#

lol no they arent gonna rework

#

they'll just stop iterating at all

obsidian walrus
#

It’s already unpopular

#

It’s least played in the game

dusky onyx
#

well thats not true

obsidian walrus
#

Oh yea and our raid “buff” still sucks

dusky onyx
#

amount of people playing specs we arent the last

#

we're the third to last xd

weary goblet
#

The truly tragic part is that rogue is a fundamental fantasy archetype and somehow, neglected and borderline austricised

obsidian walrus
#

No no rogue as a whole

inland cairn
#

sure but look at where frost mage/udk are

obsidian walrus
#

Not specs

inland cairn
#

thats why the other 2 are so low

orchid oracle
#

but hey didnt we get bloodfang in d4

livid kindle
#

weve been least represented spec prior to buff in m+

#

in high keys

#

not spec class

#

combined all 3 specs

jagged plover
inland cairn
#

yea thats what im saying

livid kindle
#

and that 1% was zac alone i guess

sly hearth
obsidian walrus
#

I mean why play fire when frost is giga good

jagged plover
#

the funny part is

#

outlaw cant even do that most of the time

obsidian walrus
#

With better defs and better dmg profile

jagged plover
#

because our weapons are fucked!

#

yay!

dusky onyx
#

frost is giga good???? isnt it cheeks in m+

We live in the monkey paw result of "I want all three Rogue specs to be equally viable."

jagged plover

#

Hey guys I was just checking warcraft logs for the raid, so it's worth it to run outlaw rn? damage seems crazy!

obsidian walrus
inland cairn
#

gearing fire atm seems very unfun

jagged plover
#

but rogue you grief yourself if you ever prio outlaw weapon

#

isn;t that cool

jagged plover
#

just braindead design

inland cairn
#

i think stat overlap has a bigger impact on offspeccing

#

and sub going back to mastery prio kinda sucks for that

weary goblet
jagged plover
obsidian walrus
#

Sub last season was only good because of trinkets and boss design

#

It was perfect for sub rogue

jagged plover
#

yeah but sub is always good "because of boss design"

obsidian walrus
#

In every way

jagged plover
#

because they always design bosses it will excel at

#

so it's really just always good at this point

#

not trying to make it a competition of which rogue spec is the most garbage but there's a clear historical winner garf

#

raid wise

livid kindle
#

i mean thats legit true though when sub was gigabroken in raid after rework we had smolderon which was designed so only sub could line up all his massive cds with all burn phases and btw rogue while being good after rework in m+ one of exceptions not being meta in m+ right away after rework because it was aug sp mage meta

faint pendant
#

remove augvoker

grim spear
#

so obviously a single talent point getting +13% feels bad
sure enough the rogue's AI designer doesn't even know how much numerical impact their own design has.

#

blizz should think about upgrading to a more expensive model
gpt-5.5 or opus 4.7 or something
and buy more tokens while they're at it.

proven surge
#

This is literally so infuriating

#

Surely April fools joke

#

its May bro

obsidian walrus
#

maybe a late one XD

old gull
#

There was too many people playing outlaw

knotty dawn
#

Outlaw cant be good more than 1 week its a blizz rule

north hound
#

We should be doing literally 20% more dmg than now to make up for the shit utility

fluid meadow
#

they didn't pressed kir when buff was up, sad

#

maybe they are just making a weekly roll system with buffs for us to play

obsidian walrus
#

and its 1 roll every time

pastel fiber
#

Is this outlaw nerf a april fools joke wtf is going on

#

How we getting nerfed the same amount as dk and more than dh's

river wing
# jagged plover because they always design bosses it will excel at

outlaw legit has no positive interactions with raid design
like the most positive interaction you can have is a boss that stands still and doesn't require you to move out of melee range at any point
that's it, that's the win condition
and then people say "you just want target dummies"
yes, that's the only thing the spec is designed to be good at currently, I wonder why I would want bosses that cater to my spec's design, insane

sage lion
#

i think outlaw deserve one more nerf and to compensate it buff feral so melee comp does not affected 🙂

#

When outlaw was good on council fights ?

river wing
inland acorn
#

The worst part is, we're getting basically destroyed on meters

north hound
#

Other specs have overtaken that niche sorry, oh btw they are also better at ST and aren’t target capped and have a raid buff

inland acorn
#

And we're still going to play trickster

#

So we're still going to be spamming smoke bomb and won't be able to see anything under it

jagged plover

precise cuts when it was good was nice

#

but removed of course

no niche allowed

We still are one of the best specs tho

Is it possible to get more adjustments Monday?

#

possible yes

#

likely hell no

I had just swapped and was having fun.

inland acorn

#

Back to Sub I guess. I really missed having more than three things to hit

jagged plover
#

i dont remember the last time they've made a change on outlaw and iterated on it

#

even in beta they iterated for like

#

3 weeks

#

then let it sit garf

inland cairn
#

well this is technically an iteration on the cloud cover changes

plain whale
#

Outlaw the first week of Legion was very fun. Was the best class in every type of content.

#

That was a good time 10 years ago

jagged plover
#

i mean like within the same cycle before it goes live

inland cairn
#

oh right

#

do they do that ever though

jagged plover
#

not very often but

#

usually if there's public outcry

#

too bad we have no population

inland acorn
#

or big streamers

jagged plover
#

they walked back the ray of frost thing for frost mage

they were gonna remove a charge

grim spear
#

bc there is not human designers for rogues

jagged plover

imagine having charges on your cooldown haha

#

must be nice

inland cairn
#

frost is actually pretty fun atm

jagged plover
#

it is

#

apart from the delay on stacks being a bit annoying

plain whale
#

I think what kind of confuses me the most is what catches their attention and what doesn't. I don't know what the internal processes look like for their company though. I feel like this was a very quick fix compared to some of the other classes. It feels extra ironic considering the state of Outlaw and Rogue as a whole.

half blade
#

Hello guys, you think we got a nerf in the next patch tuning?

plain whale
#

Cloud cover was kind of annoying, maybe because I couldn't see the floor very well. I'm cool with them taking some power away from taking power away from it, but not turning it into a Nerf.

inland acorn
#

with outlaw taking half of it

jagged plover
#

i just dont understand why they dont even try to numerically tune things within a range

#

like they do not try

jagged plover
#

even shit like tier sets they seem to have no standard for what it should be

#

sub rogue 14%

#

warlock

#

3%

#

why

#

why have that be a thing

plain whale
#

I know it's not possible, but there's this part of me that hopes that they see some of these issues on Monday and are like maybe we should give them a 15% Aura buff

jagged plover
#

it's all just random bullshit everywhere

inland acorn
#

we've been in the dirt since the start of midnight

crude flower
#

15% aura buff my guy what are you smoking

jagged plover
#

"outlaw bad? things are as they should be".

inland acorn
#

Then trickster got buffed for 2 weeks

#

Now we're back to dirt

plain whale
#

I think we have to blame this on Zac right?

#

He was doing too well in case.

Oh 100%

check your buff bar next time it expires when you're outside it

grim spear
jagged plover
#

nice little surprise

inland acorn
#

wouldn't be surprised if they fixed it, with this tuning

#

Just to fuck us even harder

Wait so you get the whole 20 seconds no matter what?

tepid epoch
#

incredible

jagged plover
#

yep

plain whale
#

I was still dipping back in just in case

they can't even be bothered to write Developer Notes, not even a single word of explanation

pure arrogance and contempt

Jeeze

#

they can take away our damage, but they will never take away the friends we made along the way

maybe this is the lesson

inland acorn
#

We have no friends

#

Nobody invites outlaws to keys

Or raids

So I'm using SBA for disability-related reasons. Does the 25% GCD penalty massively skew haste as a top stat for me almost regardless of any other situation, or am I mis-thinking the situation? Does Raidbots take that into account when I run sims on gear with use_blizzard_action_list=1 one_button_mode=1 use_cds_with_blizzard_action_list=1 as options to have it realize I'm using SBA?

Yea, back to gearing boomie lul

I fuck up the outlaw rotation on a regular basis in keys, but I am having hella fun.
All good things must come to an end.

jagged plover

fucked up part is

#

this is probably the least fun outlaw has been in like 3 years

#

for a lot of people at least

inland acorn
#

ye

#

Feels slow and clunky

jagged plover
#

you don't even know what you were missing SAJ

inland acorn
#

With building back after resets etc...

jagged plover
#

crackshot was crack

#

way less energy issues

#

sigh oh sigh

inland acorn
#

Its ok Jordy

#

Soon we will get

#

DF and TWW remix

#

Or classic

#

and we can go back to it

jagged plover
#

they'll probably nerf it there

#

just to fuck us one last time

hollow monolith
#

I cant keep up with resets and procs, but getting better at it. I like that roll the bones is somewhat easier to understand, and I am just a huge Killing Spree enjoyer.

inland acorn
obsidian walrus
#

maybe they will buff something big so they are doing a prenerf #copium

inland acorn
#

Yeah

#

They will buff Devourer

#

Again

obsidian walrus
#

XD

jagged plover
#

the crackshot resets were a lot more predictable than the current ones, and didn't require you to rebuild with different rules

#

so it was a lot more straightforward

#

and more importantly

#

a lot more fun

formal thunder
#

not the ones present during that expansion

inland acorn
#

yeah, but by the time we get remix

hollow monolith
#

But atleast sub is back to more haste/mastery, so I dont need to recraft my gear anyway lul

inland acorn
#

Maybe outlaw will be fun

formal thunder
#

ah

inland acorn
#

And with some gimmick remix mechanic

#

We will top

jagged plover
#

yeah outlaw has really good secondary stat scaling

inland cairn
#

i think ignoring energy current fatebound is pretty good gameplay wise

#

we didnt get to play it with the ace buff from .5 either

I'm sure that there is an AI doing balance changes. This can't be human made.

jagged plover

i mean it's better than trickster

#

for sure

but low bar

inland acorn
#

I doubt

#

Ai wouldn't fuck it up like this

#

Unless they literally gave it very specific data which skewed outlaw

if less than 3% i prefer to fatebound , its much easier than trickster

unkempt dew
#

True

jagged plover
#

feel like trickster is easy too with all the same finisher rules and builder order barely mattering

inland acorn
#

My biggest gripe with trickster is just obnoxious smoke bomb

#

Its actually more boring to play than fatebound, because there's no minmax

#

Just finish at 6+

hardy thicket
#

Hey! theres the finish at 5 CP for KS

dusky temple
#

i dont like KS

inland acorn
#

We dont talk about ks here

inland acorn
#

Ks in its current state is not finisher

#

And nobody can persuade me

#

Its a meme spell

thorn parrot
#

It is a meme spell, the damage is usually below our instant poison damage.

inland acorn
#

Not worthy of being capstone

#

The only reason ks exists is trickster

#

Could've been great capstone if someone just listened to feedback in TWW garf

hardy thicket
#

I dont really like KS either tbh but I dont really think fatebound is a god send alternative

#

but to each their own

inland acorn
#

No its not

jagged plover
#

KS is just another snd with a cool animation, thoughts?

inland acorn
#

But at least theres some fun minmax there with PS and SS

#

Trickster is

#

Finish --> ps --> ss --> finish

#

On repeat

cinder abyss
#

i think you would have to 5x the damage of killing spree to make it feel punchy

inland acorn
#

I think it should've been uncapped aoe frontal

#

To match animation...

#

Not some random target shit

cinder abyss
#

agreed tbf at minimum ^^

thorn parrot
#

Broomstick 2.0?

cinder abyss
#

blunderbuss returns!!! XD

thorn parrot
#

Honestly random variance is fine, can you imagine if random things just died around you while using an ability like that? I mean shit that would be sick. No one would complain if it did damage honestly, the problem is, it does nothing. Increase the cooldown but just please make it do damage.

jagged plover
#

it being random target is just so stupid

#

if it did big damage with that it would be even worse

inland acorn
#

yeah love hitting that fucking 1hp skeleton

#

for 300k

jagged plover
#

isnt there like 3 dungeons with 1hp mobs this xpac

inland acorn
#

which btw can't die

thorn parrot
#

Blizzard will never move away from random bullshit, it’s in all their games

dusky temple
#

can we switch to dk

cinder abyss
jagged plover
#

well it's more that

#

some pulls you have those 1 hp mobs

#

that are not only absorbing targets from your flurry

#

but you can random target them with ks

#

instead of whatever is actually alive

#

very fun

#

but yeah the killing blow thing doesnt help

#

but they couldnt fix the bug without breaking something else!

blizzard could not abide outlaw being mid for longer than a week

And tbf other specs is just cause idk the tuning on them cause no one plays them

🧾 Likely Developer Notes (reconstructed)

Rogue – Outlaw

We’re making adjustments to Outlaw’s Trickster hero talent to reduce the impact of stacked defensive and burst interactions tied to Cloud Cover, while increasing the spec’s baseline damage.

In recent performance data, we observed that optimal play with Trickster allowed for disproportionately high value during short windows, particularly when stacking multiple Fazed effects. This created a large gap between average and high-end performance and led to situations where survivability and burst output were exceeding intended targets.

To address this, we’ve reduced the duration and stacking behavior of Cloud Cover and Fazed, and removed scaling interactions that amplified secondary effects beyond intended levels.

At the same time, we are increasing Outlaw’s overall damage to ensure the spec remains competitive in sustained combat and does not rely as heavily on specific talent interactions for performance.

We will continue monitoring Outlaw’s performance and make further adjustments if necessary.

I mean, the nerfs now are still a buff in relation to before cloud cover change, right?

#

Or when we got that 4% aura buff with bf nerf omegalul?

#

Can't believe this happened btw

languid kestrel
#

Ret approach to stuff seems to work

#

And then the week after we get a 13% buff and we still aren't a good spec

#

But we needed to nerf bf for a 4% aura buff

#

Lololol

obsidian walrus
#

i think they still have PTSD from BFA when you run like 3 outlaws

vivid vessel
#

But why is my spec getting nerfed by more than dk Aug and dev

pliant orbit
#

I think Outlaw suffers a bit from needing uptime tho. Compared to the other rogue specs

vivid vessel
#

Why is arms getting buffed for the 5th week in a row

maybe i have no idea how they work now tbh because i just started playing after long more than 1 exp break because i was bored of rogue gettin fked all the time

Their bugfix on roll tokens wasn't solved in 10 minutes
It was also working perfectly in their test realm but retail works differently

inland acorn

With issues that could've been spotted from 5 minutes od testing

#

And fixes that probably dont take longer than 10-15 min

Which again, a lot of these things again come from "We want new content out every 8 weeks" instead of having enough time

Anyone in war discord could tell me how much are the arms buff estimated at?

i'd accept this nerf if it meant we can have more fun (playing fb)

mental beacon
# desert tendon Anyone in war discord could tell me how much are the arms buff estimated at?

Based on these numbers and with no other changes @Warrior Updates
In single target, Fury Slayer gains ~10% and Arms ~8%.,
In multitarget, Fury Slayer gains ~10% and Arms ~6%.,
Thane gains ~6% in both cases, while the impact on Colossus is pretty minimal.,
Keep in mind that both specs just lost 2-4% from the Deep Wounds hotfix though, so this isn't quite as big as it looks. Overall, I'd still call these very good changes, even if Warriors aren't going to jump to the top of the meters.
