I always like niche specs pumping, kept the fotm rerollers away a lil
I mean when i saw the 2 delves weapon in prepatch i was very excited like this is gonna be our season
But they r shit
yo you think if we shut it down we get the nerfs reverted ret pally style
I crafted a wep 1 day before patch so I probably summoned the patch
Hey
Quick question: I play with relatively high ping (150ish stable) and for some reasons outlaw feels off. I’m casting spender over builder even tho I pressed builder, I double cast builder and stuff like that. Is there a way to mitigate the issue that doesn’t involve moving to a place with lower ping ?
I mainly play healer/caster so I don’t feel it as much
u can try changing your spell queue setting
It’s at 400 for now I guess I’ll try 200
180-200 with ur ms
did you figure out the interactions you were testing?
Ok I’ll try later today thanks
personally, i loved waiting for the shaman thanks blizzard
ty was fun actually playing actual phys comp for once
usually have a devour and a random 3rd dps
agreeeeeeed
idk bro ppl shit talk my spec then i have to see this fotm reroller having my same io and playing so bad
i think i m gonna have a mental breakdown soon if someone else bring up my spec again
Did they reverse the nerf?
if that will happen it will happen tmrw na office time
so around evening if you re eu
Does anyone think they will?
nah they dont care bro
Didn't think so lol
we re the less played spec in the game prob so i think it s gg
and ig they change anything they would change aura buff compensation not talents changes cuz that would fuck up pvp balancing too which is the main reason of the changes i m pretty sure
Except sub on last boss seat get mogged mohggggesddd mogggggggeddddd
21 ws doable af 2 rogues
!prekey
- Use
Adrenaline Rush to activate
Loaded Dice. - As Trickster, use
KS to activate
Disorienting Strikes. - Do NOT use
RTB before the key, you will lose it. - Use
SND during the bubble once the key starts.
When will we know what hero spec will prevail on patch day?
Workshop?
hi pirates
tbf, there were talks that Fatebound will potentially be only ~1.5% behind, which honestly might be small enough difference to not bother with the Trickster clunk
I kinda like coup de grace now that its a low prio button
feels okman getting 30 seconds off cds
then it procs again immidiately
and killing spree doesnt feel so bad when you have no energy ever anyway
I mean yes but at the same time we have to deal with dungeon slices where we re legit a cuck we can t finish on 5cp an 90% of the time you find yourself with 5cp and you have to hit ss overcapping cps to hit a finisher ks is legit placebo cause you think it s fine pressing it when you have no energy when the issue is you should never be 0 energy on outlaw
Soo idk
Maybe I m an hater and I m overreacting about this stuff
But I fell in love with outlaw cause you used to always be full of resources with always smth to press and a lot of dopamine cause of the apm
To me it kinda lost the identity
goin back to fatebound means the build we used from th beginig of the patch with everything unchanged. Or we tweak something on the original material?
We take loaded now I guess
At least depends on how many secondary effects they remove from smoke cloud
But most likely no more trickster
good lord, thanks
smoke screen was killing my vibes. cant see shit on the ground
wait why no trickster? diff talents too>?
trickster got some targeted nerfs
its slightly better yeah
but a lot of people hate its playstyle
so people might go back to fatebound
how much % though realistically
do we still go for arcanoweave lining and prismatic focusing iris for embellishments? and is there one you should prioritize first?
cuz if its 6% st and 4% aoe
its not
then wouldnt it mean fb is approx 5% worse?
I'm investigating some unusual :fatebound: Fatebound results, and need to weigh how close they are with how comfortable Fatebound is to play. The actual verdict on Trickster vs Fatebound may change by reset.
from the pin
hello guys how can i put combo points on top of targets ? is there an addon for it or its part of game options?
as much I prefer fatebound cause the playstyle is more carefree is sad for blizz to change something in a more fun way just to take it back. I would also be an idea since outlaw doesnt have something to hlp the group in mythics - raid if the smoke area would reduce the dmg for the tsnk or anyone else goin in it with the rogue
its outlaw they would never do that
Plater allows this
Oh yea it is
a profile you use just has to enable it, idk how htey do it, but I use Jundies Playtnator profile and they show up on the nameplate

what graphic setting reduces the thickness of the Cloud cover smoke? i would love to see puddles
particle density?
does having it on low fuck me in the ass in some other way?
maybe it sounds stupid but is there any1 that can share edit mode with me? 🙂
What is this: phys comp
I also see it on icyveins
But what does it mean?
It just means it involves physics
Like complicated math
Physical comp = war monk buffs with physical damage dealers that profit from the buffs
Aaah i get it

brew, arms, rogue, [x], resto sham
x being hunter because good or druid because motw
you may note that rogue brings nothing to synergise with the rest of the group if not damage
sounds about right, i bring nothing to my friend group. why do they even invite me.

Hey now poisons
I bring fun
Cap
We indeed bring swag
i don't do high enough keys for it to matter so im chillin
just gotta get honest and comfortable with your priorities, sometimes if you want to push cutting edge content you gotta play something else. sometimes if you want to play what you enjoy most you have to accept the difficulty that comes along with that. it is what it is
Tru
Well or you can just be very very very good at the spec and play with what will give you the most optimal circumstances even if you spec is kinda bad
Thats zac
Is outlaw not a good spec for m+ or sth? Still leveling so I'm wondering. I love the playstyle so I'll stick with it regardless
Its just really not as strong as the alternatives come this reset but its overall a pretty good m+ spec always.
i mean, im so beat down from the constant nerfs or half assed attempt to make outlaw a class. so just do keys with friends and see the last boss in a raid tier with the dad guild. there is nothing to strive for anymore.
Like Outlaw at its base design is very good for m+ content
AoE capped
You could not pay attention to patch notes 
none of the rogue specs are GREAT st damage this season
apart from outlaw having 2 weeks in the sun when it was decent
Wdym Outlaws ST bangs
If outlaw st is bad then aoe also should be no?
Like if ur ST is bad prolly means ur Messing up rotation more than you think. Its less punishing in AoE so less noticeable
didn't say it was bad
Was replying to Jokkers
Actually washed player, back to 4 button class 
ah
I just think, devs just dont like a skill cieling that gives higher dps.
i mean yeah they don't, that's never been the case except maybe surrender to madness spriest
yep and they didnt like that so they changed it lul
exactly
All dev dps is meta, you just need to learn optimal way to use resources and your dps is insane
If you wanna play the hard to play gigabrain class, then you gotta do it for the love of the game
At least I can click fast on outlaw 
whatever said spec is
Until u spend all ur thistle teas and run into an energy problem
guys do you think I should take voidcore or socket from vault?
i mean clealy voidcores until you have items you need
Until Saron's Loot table is picked clean i'd pick voidcore as well

Also I can confirm that having looted an item naturally does ***not *** remove it from the Voidcore loot table, it is not a thing, fuck Chimaerus
yep
only takes out things u loot by using voidcores
Why don't we macro trinkets to abilities?
- You want to use trinkets while BtE is active, but you can't macro them to BtE, as breaking vanish with a trinket will cause Subterfuge to not activate, so Vanish > BtE macro could fail.
- Trinkets are your only on demand burst damage, you sometimes want to hold it for specific mobs or vulnerability windows.
- You usually don't want to send it on a dying mob.
Trickster opener is Adr Roll SnD 2s before pull
if you do the pre key stuff, u do it right before key bubble goes down
if u dont have it between a pull yes, u might go like ADR - Slice - bladefurry - Bte….
just make sure u have it running when u are dpsing
but it shouldnt run out in a key unless you die or something is screwed
moreso thinking for raid but good info
ty
ig its just same, like adr slice before pull
guys, i do the prekey stuff > use snd with the ks generated cp inside bubble > open with bf into dispatch > ar into Bte (m+ first pull). is this halfway correct or can i do smth better with my cp?
!prekey
- Use
Adrenaline Rush to activate
Loaded Dice. - As Trickster, use
KS to activate
Disorienting Strikes. - Do NOT use
RTB before the key, you will lose it. - Use
SND during the bubble once the key starts.
You missed SnD right?
No need to dispatch, since you have snd up
That was where i was going
how screwed are we with powder changes?
6% ST & 4%AoE nerf
Which is quite a lot tbhh
Espicially the ST part makes me super sad, was kind of a cool thing to bring boss damage atleast
ill see it when it goes live
If anything, we needed a 6% st & 4% aoe buff instead of a nerf
Its not that i am a Zac level player anyways haha
Hi all, I had a few weeks off. What's going on outlaw? FAQ up to date still?
They will somehow fuck the aura buff or cloud nerfs anyways, end result % will remain to be seen
You can always play BM or something
lol
The game is full of the same specs because of this ass balancing
Just let everyone be op and let us have fun
Why are they even trying to balance it so hard as if they are the Federal Reserve and the economy depends on their balancing
Replace KS with a tactical nuke
This sounds like something for survival hunter talent
Shotguns, Molotov cocktails, why not a nuke too
I'm wonderin which rogue spec will be better after wednesday
Outlaw
My fate coin is on sub
Because aura
It is, my aff lock does more damage than outlaw despite being undergeared. Granted it might be a skill issue but aff lock is so easy to play and pumps more in my experience … it’s boring tho
on what level key?
On the dummy
mine also be the skill issue but I found outlaw needs longer fight to excel and rng ofc
solo is cooking a FB HO build that will own every other spec in the game. I believe 
solo might be overwhelmed because of blizz 😄
he might be this far "." to say fuck this shit 😄
Just Fatebound's performance when thistle tea has run dry was probably understated a bit
think trickster might look barely ahead in keys overall but fatebound is perfectly serviceable again
I like fatebound animations. Flipping dobloons for damage 😂 full casino
@gaunt phoenix do you think they might rever the change they plan? or future buffs perhaps?
doubt it
so I assume assas. will take over in keys then
Did Assa get buffed?
no but we are nerfed so D:
You guys get invited to m+ damn
I do my keys
Hello ! I'm playing mm+
Wondering if it's better on the open to blade furry and BTE or killing spree ?
If 4% dps is enough to swing sin ahead of outlaw maybe they were both already fine
I don't know as I said my doubt is survival in fact
Is 4% a lot?
after the smoke nerf next week I've no idea how I'm going to survive
stacks no longer will give damage reduction
Is fatebound gameplay different?
not su much - pins have the answers there and faq
Oke ill check ty
@gaunt phoenix any thoughts on that?
😄
Hey any way to see on the logs the "healing" from numbing poison like for atrophic ? To see like the prevented damage on the tank
there's a mitigation toggle in healing
@solo as i understand those faze stacks additive increase damage while aura buff 5% is multiplicative with those two or?
Any details you can give on the “unusual” fatebound numbers
Sometimes they go brrr and sometimes they dont
lets all cope and say the nerfs are because the new borrow power brings us higher than the nerf
The fazed damage taken debuff is still its own multiplier
3 stacks does stack up additive to 24%
but then it's still your damage * 1.24
it's just fatebound is really close in the long dungeonroute sims
likely because it helps represent when thistle tea runs out
yeah i mean its like was 1.0 * 1.24 and now 1.05*1.16 ?
how close are we talking, 3%?
like 1-2% after the tuning
Additional tuning notes today, right? 
Do you guys think that next week it'll be troll to stay on outlaw rather than switch Assa to progress Paladins ?
In raid fatebound is like 3% worse
which is fine tho you dont really gain anything
prep is fine
Will need to see the final tuning towards the spell data
our last 4% tuning they random gave Fatebound tails 10% instead of 4%
just don't like how Trickster is really dry when tea's out
also not 100% sure they will stop the crit-damage thing from stacking
it's assumed yes
My 5 cents is on KS buff just to make trickster misery continue
well they said secondary effects like dr so i guess they mean crit also
what if they buff tails by 200% instead and bring it back to being our top damage source


Im starting to think that Blizz does not like outlaw
just noticed ? xdd
could honestly just go wide and say Rogue and still not miss
Sadge but true
i feel like outlaw have special place in their heads because they giving us like 1 or 2 weeks before getting nuked while sub or sin might survive
also sub got higher compensational buff while getting lower benefit from cloud cover
how do i add images to a forum post
blizzard forum shit
who here is r1 forum poster
xd zac is on full desperate mode
Thankfully I'm okay with doing sub in M+ if Outlaw gets taken out back to an alley and shanked by Blizz
Assa in M+ would be miserable.
unless crimson tempest has suddenly started hitting more than 2 extra mobs at a time to spread dots
assa is good in m+ its just playstyle not for everyone
same as sub i just dont wanna touch it after they oversimplify it
so its just outlaw for me or dip
well I'm still learning outlaw. like, to the point I have assisted highlight enabled in case I forget something. So I guess the 'simplicity' isn't a huge negative for me.
cause outlaw feels like spinning plates whist riding a unicycle sometimes 😄
you need good ui to play outlaw good brother dont play on classic ui get zac's ui
The issue with assa in keys is that it does no damage outside of push keys
i mean it doesnt if your group does damage
my highest key is like a +13 so yeah thats not me
because u need time to ramp
no push for meee
i would play sub in your case if u find it fun
Its my goal to reach 3000 rio this season
short bursty windows everything dies in lowkeys in those
I really really like the bird mounts
yeah I've run it a couple times, but I like Outlaw better. But Sub is my offspec/backup
yeah outlaw is best spec in the game most fun for me
I also really really like hookshot
like to the point I keep trying to use it as sub
😅
yeah its just fun reactive fast dynamic gameplay what can be better
Outlaw Will always be my main
same, and with my last key i reached exactly 2999 so i have to do another one 😄
is there any sim that shows how much % shaman buff, vers buff etc gives outlaw?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
There you go
I am at 2604 so i have some work to do
thx bro
But the season is still fresh
it would be way faster if we got invites as rogues instead of having to run our own keys 😄
!nerf
i'm not even getting invited to 10s with 277 ilvl and ~3k rio
Gotta gatekeep
Im playing with my brother and he is a 3200 rio tank so most of the time we got accepted
Not purple enough
thats convenient
I got to 3k but I don't see reason to go higher on main
Now trying outlaw as side content
What is the GCD circle addon on cursor?
sry if the question has already been asked many times, but how much %dps loss in st/aoe after nerf ?
Pins
thanks sry
Np
that's a real question i also need an answer to
been looking for a cursor addon as well
@vivid vessel has one
but dont streamers charge for ui and addons they use
zac is french, he has no sens of business dont worry it's free
nice one
zac__________________ search on twitch and type !ui there
hes sharing his ui for free what a man
even better, i put it here
is it impossible to have a mouseover set focus target that givees them a mark?
no
it'spossible
if u have one pls send it brother, cant get mine to work
/tm [@mouseover,exists,nodead] 8
He is using a weakaura
i think can add stuff in the brakets to make it an enemy as well but ihavent done that
we know the release date of next season?
doesnt work
I thought we could not use any weakauras
technically its not WA's its M33kauras combined with cdm
strange
Aah aight aight
with the changes coming tomorrow which rogue spec would be the best for M+ in trying to hit 3400io?
The one you like the most
Will be hard hitting 3400 with a spec that you dont want to play
You will get declined equally anyway. Just have fun at least
This
any1 know what the addon with the crosshair on your character is called?
i have it from wilditools
What is the usage of the crosshair?I really don't get it
How else would you aim your PS and BtE?
Irons
Oh I see I see
Feed him, he must be starving
He's always hungry
Like his caretaker
What did you have? 5 happy meals?
3 chicken strips and 3 boudin balls
With a side of honey mustard
And 2 energy drinks
Why do you eat as if you have free healthcare?
yo laws. so i got this heroic on timewarped week. looks like it sims better than Barbed Choker (hero).
Because I can see a doctor immediately if I need my tummy pumped
But I wont because that's for quiters
is that a thing? like just rando timewarped things showing up?
yea
what about it?
What sims better depends on your gear
just a crit haste neck
it's the same stat volume as the choker
just different distribution between crit and haste
so ye they can be slightly different for you
Trying to get my resil 16s…anyone at this level use macro focus for kicks?
yeah u need focus kick its more efficient than target swap just to kick if you want to minmax
Yeah the use is starting to get more common from 16 onwards slowly
I honestly think the value is kinda meh when not fully coordinated group
certain pulls its semi mandatory like WS first pull to have something assigned semi smartly I guess
when you sort it out let us know zac we will upvote
who tf knows who goes to forum xd
i think i have to answer an existing thread to have links
Doesn't matter, the great rogue master Mafic will come and debunk zac
The final raid boss of the forum game, Mafic the Great
its cuz your forum account has a 'trust level'
I was going to say comment on mafics ramblings
xd
at level 1 you can only link like wowhead and youtube
xd
who is mafic is there any drama i am not aware of?
i cant make my post without links
Some guy on blizz forums, who is vigorously posting in rogue threads and finishes his posts with surf emoji
Legit all trash takes
And stuff he says is... making people question wether its GROK taking over
It’s 100# ai
There was a post today where they were like
Idk i rarerly open forums, usually nothing worth reading there
Unless someone creditable posts feedback, then its usually good read
i guess eu nothing on us
Yeah also if its clearly biased feedback in a sense that "I just want more dam" its kinda pointless
Still suprised they dont just make the CP usage braindead mode and make KS into a cool burst button to press
that would resonate best with the masses
I mean they did kinda try to reduce complexity for rogue as whole class
they did
And yet rogue population seems to once again shrink 
sub is 2 button spec now
Assa and sub are allready kinda there, outlaw still has stuff going for it
Think it will happen eventually in this xpac
Its still easier to learn now than say in TWW
With rolls being simpler, slower in terms of apm
i mean ret is still easyer to play and it "does more damage on average" no braincells needed to do damage as ret so people just go ret or dk why play rogue more effort less damage
I mean, you play outlaw for the feel of it really at this point, or i guess thats the reason to play it
But mah raid buff 
Dont think its bad still that a spec is fun and thats the reason to play it
its solid as it is right now not op just solid thats why nerfing it is ridiculous
I think nerfing talent was fine, because amount of power tied to it was too high
Im still thinking this announced 5% buff will end up being something weird af in the server side and its more
But there should've been proper compensation
yeah with proper compensation i agree sure but the thing is that the middle ground going up because they buffed some specs thats why nerf is gona feel even harsher
I mean ye
Talent got nerfed for both us and sub, and somehow sub gets overall buff
While we eat nerf
Which sucks
Though granted, sub is going back to deathstalker which idk if i would want to trade that for 2% buff lmao
Deathstalker feels like ass to me idk
idk, they will get some prio with it too now i guess
I think it will fit better into m+ as a whole now
not sure how much the prio will end up being but
never liked DS
and clowning around with swapping marks wont be that hard when the spec has 3 buttons
oh wait, they're not going back to DS, it's close to trickster
will even bring some more gameplay into it
Ye sub won this gg
I don’t think sub goes back to ds tbh
they don't, I just checked the pins
Yeah it’s like
It's close to trickster
nevermind :]
Ye but nobody wants to play this cheeks hero talent tree
how does outlaw feel rn? swapped off rogue 3 weeks ago and i wanna gear another char
It was way worse when u couldn’t move the mark too
Rogue in general feels like, low-middle of the pack imo
Ngl all 3 hero trees feel so underwhelming
even sub? i havent really played it and its not that appealing, but if its the best ill go with it
I mainly play sub
ive been playing bdk and frost dk, so im used to not being s tier
outlaw is eating fat nerf on reset
It’s still pretty good and it got a little buff coming
if you want inv to keys any other class but rogue 
ill play with my guild / tank friend, so theres probably no problem getting into keys
fdk was S tier for a majority of last expac
But if you compare it to like devour it’s like
huh
midnight is my first expac :..
well that would do it
yeah in 19+ got to lol i wait on average like 2 hours
Unholy is pretty great atm isn’t it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
im probably not gonna reach 19s in some time anyways
ty for the link
You won’t run into key issues till like
i waited a full week for a single invite in df3
16?
@random stirrup 
trying to pug title is hell
would not recommend if you enjoy playing the game, you will just sit in queue perma
Feel like that’s only true for higher keys
tbh kinda wanna deal damage in raids/m+ cuz my current guild struggles to kill HC crown and i had to pug it myself to kill it 😄 so good dps classes are welcome. Looked at warcraftlogs for HC/Myth and outlaw doesnt seem that bad in stats
If your guild struggles to kill HC crown
I don't think damage is the issue
Unless everyone is fighting tank on meters
Noob q for the opener in an M+ setting: are we doing the noted opener with AR + Roll? If so, is it worth it to wait until the tank is done grouping mobs so you can stay in the bomb for as long as possible?
3 players nearing tank dps 🙁
and middle of the pack is parsing greens/greys
Oofh
Oof
I mean ur not gonna be able to solo it with a 99 parse on rogue tbh
Unholy on that fight seems to do pretty similar damage to rogue imo
yeah, and it depends on the dungeon. Maisara for example takes a while to gather, so i just rtb just cleave the mobs until he fully gathers and we pop lust, then i'll do the regular opener
with TotT on the tank of course
in m+, you use AR before the key, so you start with loaded dice already active, and so you would roll before using AR
the smoke is bugged and you dont need to stay in it at all so you can just hit AR
But what if they fix the smoke bug, with tuning this reset 
dont care
Yah I get popping AR pre key. I just mean for normal pulls
I didn't know about smoke being bugged? So you don't need to stay in it at all..?
no, just fb is close enough to play it
we're talking like ~2% close ?
ive had enough success with frost and i stick to melee classes. So im choosing between melees mostly, dh/rogue
you dont. the cloud cover buff will refresh on you when the smoke expires. whether you are in the smoke or not
so you press AR you will always get 20s of cloud cover
🤦 ok thanks
I thought they intentionally did that to cloud cover
I don't think they do many things intentionally at this point
that sounds unlikely
What even is the point of the cloud cover then...
It would only make sense if it's a bug lol
but now they are nerfing trickster so who cares

maybe thats why they are nerfing it
Yes
well in keys
in raid it's more like 3%
idk, i hate things escaping ptr, and then it gets launched into the sun 2 weeks later
the fuck was the point of ptr then
I mean it's always the same with PTR and beta no
They overlook glaring issues and ignore feedback
did they really need to see the playerbase use it to know how strong it was
Just to pikachu face in couple weeks/months
Just funmaxx and play fatebound since a schizophrenic is currently balancing the game
real
I don't think there's even 1 balancing team, not to mention 2
Well, I think most ppl thought it was ass until like, 1 week before release
thinking there is 1 team is alrady incredible, so 2 you re the incarnated hope
do you have any idea of dev dh is still gonna be s tier?
Yes
but it was ass, before they buffed it no ?
its not gonna magically turn to shit with that nerf
i just didnt give it a second thought or even a first thought until sims
It was quite a bit ahead
How much was cloud worth, before them buffing it
6% or whatever isn’t gonna matter to devourer
the original cloud cover with distract was a dps loss?
worst talent they ever made

Remember when pressing KS on sprocket was illegal ?
Remember when coup would pull you into melee?
Fun times 
Solo trickster is gonna be annoyingly ahead right? Like a few % where playing FB feels bad
that killed me too many times on ansurek ffs
Same lol
also the extra longer gcd for no reason
Solo said like 2% in keys and 3% in raid
but hey, coup bug was a thing
it will be within 1-3%
Hmm
at least for my profile
wdym bug
Might go fatebound
unless the real tuning is botched
They just were testing the waters with the bug 
Have you done long sim
They made it into a tier set 🏄♂️
FB it is then, why have all these extra buttons while a bunch of shit is going down when u can just chillllllll 👌👌
Ok interesting
what are the roll chances of roll the bones lvls? %25 chance equally or lvl 1 is weighted?
I had a really bad seat yesterday where I was out of teas before first boss
And that made the whole dungeon not fun
that's a wrap
they are weighted
They didn't change it at all
Just ppl assumed it to be mid/gimmicky/ass
Yeah get mogges buddy
No i meant, before they changed it from distract. I see what you mean though
thanks mate
no one trested it
Rogue looks so fucking tough in D4 bro

what's it gonna be for reset outlaw bros?
Updated May 5th Tuning Info
Cloud Cover is being handily nerfed and we are given a 5% aura buff to "compensate."
First of all, until servers are live it is unclear if they are removing the crit-damage stacking effect, but the assumption is yes.
Second of all, a +5% buff in notes is hardly ever actually +5%, last time they randomly gave Fatebound Tails +10% instead so we'll see.
Given that, there are a few observations based on initial sims:
-
5% spec aura is not nearly enough to offset the nerf. Overall we are losing about 6% ST and 4% AoE.
-
Trickster is still using
Cloud Cover as opposed to No Scruples. -
You can start to make a call on
Trickster vs
Fatebound as Trickster is no longer lightyears ahead.- In raid,
Trickster is still expected to be ahead of
Fatebound by about 2% ST and 4% sustain cleave. Not a crazy difference but hard to give up even if you can't stand Trickster. Can depend on gear a bit - In M+,
Fatebound is considerably closer, potentially within 1% overall. I believe this is because of
Fatebound's performance when
Thistle Tea has run dry. Fatebound is way more comfortable with resources so it's perfectly acceptable to use it again. Overall aside,
Trickster is still going to give you more of a boost during the early AR/Lusted pulls and has perma Tricks so you might swap between both to decide what you like.
- In raid,

That set is like 50 dollars or some shit in d4
so if they aren't removing the crit-damage stacking effect, how big is the nerf going to be realistically?
or like a mil wow gold
crit thing is like an extra +2-3%
Cool, now buff sub
so instead of 6% nerf it would be 3%
and then trickster would be like 4-7% ahead of fatebound everywhere which is ehh harder to give up
so pretty much negligible change in m+?
Yes
idk how you guys manage outlaw in raids man. found myself running into the cutter ray last night on Salz trying to maintain my rotation to maximize dmg during the burst window. This compared to sub where i just have to manage doing a thing once every 20 sec
You quickly get muscle memory with it
and if you have a clean UI to see everything
thats fair, i havent outlawed since like legion so i guess thats a thing
you get used to the conditions without having to stare at UI
salad spin u just tap movement
big but (i did that also), i wanna BtE during AR on first pull, to maximize damage. If i open with bf and press AR i'll lose 7 cp no?
You also eventually memorize how many cps stuff gives you do you don't have to wait to figure out your next global
Most of outlaw is just tons of repetition
i mean i totally get that sub is the easiest of the 3 specs by far rotationally, maybe im just getting old idk. but damn man its a challenge. and end of the day i just dont see the numbers like i do with sub or assa in M+
ye 2 from ss 3x in a row
call me bob the builder
but i also dont have an amazing 2nd trinket. but i did get M Gaze last night on bonus roll so theres that
totally feeling u mate. spent 3 days straight to learn law and its been a journey
right? i mean i want to like it, its interesting for sure. but once im in the thick of it its like... fuuuuck. or i could just do shadow dance + secret tech every 20 sec
yeah thats fair. its a challenge for sure. im hoping for a good trinket tomorrow
im runnin solareflare with gaze, u could possibly farm that in SR
You do but it's whatever
i see a pinned
You have to AR and you have to bf
Solo
god bless that we can play fatebound soon :/
What are odds due to outlaws ability to high roll it is seen as more of an outlier spec
Even if avg dps of it is nothing crazy
we highroll into doing mid dps
oh nothing new
just an update to the prev nerfs

ig blizz just returned to work today so impossible for new things
o wait this is the only day they can make changes
tomorrow it goes live for na
yea i give up hope its sin time
Coward
can't believe I will have to fight a BM hunter for damage ngl, and likely lose if I don't roll 3+ most of the time
bm is gonna be strong?
lol doubt
its the
nth aura buff for them
and they're still at the bottom
when he says he will be fighting a bm hunter
he means we will go back to frost dk tier like in pre-buffs
:D
well they're getting a 4% and we're getting somewhere around -4 to -6%, which would, for players of our skill (we're both like mid purple parsers) put him at a very slight advantage
is everything from pit of saron bis? (i got ring and neck so far)
only the cloak isn't bis per se
Pretty much
ye, i think ill send more rolls into saron after reset
yea literally everything is good
legit no real reason to not dump rolls into Pit unless you have 2-3+ items from there not from extra rolls
i got the cloak from bonus roll then next morning i got the cloak from magister's lol
which was kinda sad but still
i got ring and neck from saron, neck from windrunner:( and crit ring from nexus
ehhh
I like crit and I could like haste if it wasn't so stupidly done in terms of outlaw
well on tuesday we are probably back to playing 3% vers node
versa was kinda useful lol
Yeah fatebound uses vers node
I actually don't mind haste for outlaw. The coolest part about haste is the gcd reduction and outlaw is the only energy spec that benefits from that with haste
It's much worse for WW where all it does is increase fof damage
I mean we only get the GCD reduction from haste during AR
but it's also a true godstat for them, like BL makes monk blast
Yes but that's cool because it makes our main cd feel impactful gameplay wise
As opposed to just bigger number
I mean that's cool too, I just prefer actually feeling the gameplay implications of a stat
thanks a bunch it is way better 😄
How much of a nerf do we think Tuesdays tuning will be?
check the pin
so based on the nerf , assa is gonna be the best rog spec in m+ ? (on high keys 18+)
idk if 4% is enough to swing the pendulum very far
so on wednesday we will have the exact info right ?
!prekey
- Use
Adrenaline Rush to activate
Loaded Dice. - As Trickster, use
KS to activate
Disorienting Strikes. - Do NOT use
RTB before the key, you will lose it. - Use
SND during the bubble once the key starts.
weekly reddit rogue thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1t3i7cj/so_im_leveling_every_class_to_80_and_rogue_is/
i mean
they arent wrong
leveling rogue sucks
fellas im mainly pugging keys, just got to 19s bracket and every attempt i make ends up in tank dying to some hard pull and then its ggs, is it worth swapping atrophic for numbing, or does it barely make any difference for tanks at all
my point is more like, if a 4% nerf puts sin ahead of outlaw, it's not like it would be ahead by very much
to compare with outlaw , assa and sub are so boring to play , rog was already bad and we got nerfed xD, like they did to arms war xD i hope for the next balance patch they will GET more info about who need buff/nerfs xD.
Sadly they dont know what to do with outlaw
For some reason BF gives class devs complete and utter brainrot.
Meh, if it does wind up being a 4% Aoe / 2% ST nerf, that isn't enough to swing me away from having fun on outlaw
6% ST
you could say that about the calss in general
when was the rogue meta ? 😄
BFA
i remember Shadowlands season 2 or sth
My bad, still not enough though.
it was really fun to play , Separated bone spikes
last real Rogue meta rather than just Rogue being strong would be BfA yeah
I've been playing combat since wotlk and that will always be my preferred rogue spec no matter if good or bad
(also the last time the class had like 7% rep in keys, you know, like a normal class does)
Back when we used to be brought for shroud lol
back when dungeons actually wanted you to skip stuff, yeah
we were actually strongest cleave in BFA
they target cap us, say specs should have a specialty, than they remove the % per missing target
they remove acro, make DK and Pally borderline ranged
what happened to "melee need to be melee"
you know my rael problem
i fucking miss acrobatic strikes
its funny, cuz the snakeeye or whatever build in S1 BFA (where we use SnD instead of RtB) was actually pretty decent
when i see them jumping arround throwing stuff
they are doing weird shit ) even they dont know what to do . 😄 based on RIO they nerf and buff classes )
and nerf
Demo needs to constantly cast at least, so it still holds true for some
of course
like I've been thinking about an AA route that would allow skipping a couple of Echo Knight packs
and it's basically impossible without clearing the fuck out of everything else, like legit clean everything before Vexam sort of situation
outlaw has no specialty atm
like zero
none
So hmmm, after next patch, what is our gain from pre-fart change? Like 7-8% right?
imo, its a cluttered mess - just look at the difference between the things you need to track on
compared to
/
It's like a command center
there is zero interaction with ANY mechanic in current design
amps? no
low target cleave? no
tons of enemies? no
downtime? killer
full uptime? still only really good but not the best
execute? no
naw not really, you only need three things tracked
maybe a fourth in a pinch
like it's the same as it is on assa
i mean, i have an extra row for otl compared to assa, idk man
the issue is lack of strengths coupled with some crippling weaknesses
Gambling
more so us not even being the best at our strength
mfw cleave spec isnt best cleave

the thing is
even if you jackpot for 70% of the fight
you are still not gonna be top DPS at an equally high skill level
but there's no cleave anymore, that's the thing
Whole class feels really abandoned and desolate imo. I'm not gonna change mains, played rogue for decades, but man... im definitely playing more games outside wow
What about jackpot and 100% reset on BtE ? You're not gambling enough
okay but evne when there was cleave
mage etc was just better
better at 1t, 2t, 3t, etcetcetc
xdd
There were a few very niche cases where outlaw was insane
well let's be realistic lmao
I had pulls with 70% jackpot, I did not have a pull where I could just BtE-SS/PS-BtE for the entire fight or even half the time
I've started playing casualty unknown, it really simulates the pain of playing outlaw really well 
Tbh, no changes to rogue are really gonna excite me at this point unless they give us tank/heal spec or something
I've pretty much lost all confidence in the devs to do something fun with rogue, personally
What about aug rogue with* restless crew 🤡
Flew too close to the sun
kinda banger swords
nobody liked it
nobody wants random cd to differ
and hold them extra to align
it was flawed concept from the start
Did it even make it out of alpha
Hi, im zac I do high keys every season with a phys comp, forcing them to endure my spec. https://raider.io/characters/eu/draenor/Tomelvis Outlaw got a significant buff going into 12.0.5, turns out it appear the buffs were needed and justified since even after these buffs we were still just a “good” spec for raid, and maybe top 8/9? Dps spe...
Only 2 posts
Smh
i have made more than 2 posts
but i had to create an NA account
to be taken serious
cause you cant post on eu
its banned

yeah eu is literally screaming into the void (also much, much less community interaction overall)
Do you guys ever use draught of rampant abandon potion?
no
Just lights potential?
yes
How does this guy do high keys at level 10?
Like and subscribe
zac's power level can't be accurately represented by forums
officially liked.
1 like = 1% aura buff btw
Watch it somehow into getting us aura nerf
So if all outlaws chip in it will be like 10% buff
Son of a bitch I’m in.
LETSGO ZAC
im professional complainer
i think its time i start to officially complain instead of doing it for fun
HELLO PIRATES
i could maybe make a carreer out of complaining
Drakthyr bunnyhoping while casting like this is a fucking Half Life 2 speedrun
ur a streamer
thats already ur thing
upvote guys it might have impact
post on r/compwow too
those people loooove drama
(not drama but u know what i mean)
god bless ur soul zac
i upvoted but considering tomorrow its already live for na i lost hope
unethical pin but dont care
i should have done it over the weekend ye
build fatebound this for wednesday https://www.wowhead.com/it/talent-calc/rogue/outlaw/fatebound/EAPRFRUVRUVRFUYoRQCUVNRFVVVVQVFWYENBEFFVVVUBV
Outlaw is so back
it is what it is
unethical not to pin
no you want 2 ace now
if this is unethical what would closing the discord be 
fatebound will still be worse tho
remove 1 summarily for 2 ace
and prep is still good
can remove another summarily or sleight
would prep be op if it was affected by restless
or like this
yes
yes would be the strongest talent in the tree
its a capstone tho so
and if it went to 6 mins?
still yes
its not particularly insane rn
i would like it to be on charges tho
or adr
or both
that would make it feel less awkard to play
6 min restless-on Prep would be like
2 min in reality, maybe a little lower even
and what would be considered an op number for fast action reduction 
more like 1
1st pull PIT, nerf deserved
talking about half life. I need to derust portal 2 coop run
i m excited
connect fast action to zero in, make it so resets dont consume zero in stacks but still benefit from the dmg
banger
wtf !
probably like 10+ seconds off that CD to be okay
15+ for maybe OP
how did you do the big 1 mil numba
ret same dps with 1/3 amount of buttons to press 
god I wish
Jackpot+BTE resets i guess

6 mins down to 1 min? ehh IDK, can you even crush that hard?
22 with 1m left EZ
adr is 3min cd down to 35
outlaw dif
would it be considered right now if it wasnt anti synergy even with just 5?
hmmmm
I mean yeah...
If prep was on restless it's just button bloat
cuz you then just have to slam it on cd
and it's just "a button for more AR"
when it could just be more AR
its a bit of a button bloat even rn, they massively pruned amount of buttons to press on everyone but outlaw (with trickster) still has a shitton
not necessarily a downside but still
wait fast actions make bte not consume zero in stacks on reset?
p sure it's just very weak at 5 anyway
we'd take it if it were like -15s
no, but it would make the talent good
no but i wish it would
oh yeah for sure
like i was shocked at the amount of actual buttons devourer presses
i guess they got +1 recently but still
if devourer was a rogue spec collapsing star would be a different bind for no reason
dev = noob spec
from what I hear
havoc is still easier lmao
@river wing dh is a better way to put it
Then ppl make comments like "rogue has so many buttons still"
Like what did u want them to do lol
outlaw didnt get pruned at all
of buttons i mean
it got pruned of fun
defensiveness
and passives talents
that were active gameplay
yea i guess... idk i complained about this many times in here already but its just a head scratcher, maybe its just my bias cuz i enjoyed tww s3 but i feel like almost every spec had at least some semblance of idea in their kit designs and they just threw it all away
They didn't though
i want my spec to have buttons and have high skill celling otherwise i will not play this game
I mean arms for example still has like 40 buttons
depends on the class
like arms is still a spec
Sub lost like 3? buttons, but is almost entierly the exact same spec
Outlaw lost like 0 and plays very differently
Its the same as any expansion shift. specs get changed, redesigned, buttons get added, removed
like new rtb is cool and all but... its a little lamer thematically and its nowhere near close of 6 buffs dopamine hit
sub is like
legit the same spec without the obfuscation of having to line up SoD/SD/SB+Flag
yeah sub is simplyfied i used to love that spec in past but i dont wanna touch it now
this is why i never tried this spec before and why i considered it the hardest rogue one lol
@gaunt phoenix when u say fatebound spec u mean the same one from the beginning of the patch without any changes updates??
the amount of shit you had to line up made me sick lol
2 ace
the issue with max buffs was that blizz first balanced around them being available
then had to gradually insert more ways to actually get those buffs reliably like the S2 set and Count the Odds
lining up all this was not fun imo, but the spec could use a little more complexity
yea... 
There was like, nothing to line up tho its like
U use flag with blades
U use symbols with dance
Its just "heres +1 button"
well yeah, the joke is that sub wasn't all that hard before anyway
but there was an image of having 4 CDs that have to come together, and that scared people
lining up things was part of specs complexity theres no reason to turn all specs into ret pala when there is ret pala
if u dont like complexity play ret pala
now we don't have that and suddenly people start finding out that Sub is legit 3 buttons
maybe but like back in... bfa? or sl? i remember seeing a pic like this on reddit of a guy doing his opener in a raid fight and it was x30 larger and had 30 trillion buffs and cds alligned
@vivid vessel and I ditch which one??
dispatcher
i didnt like shadowdust removal also
this looks pisseasy now but back then i swear it was a gargantuan line
Again, having +1 button isn't "complexity"
it just uses 2 ace, they are in faq builds as alternatives rn
true but it kinda scared me off the spec back then

Heres the sub rotation before
hardest skill for me personally in this game is managing cds, which is why i find stuff like outlaw, ret and bm easier to understand than something like arcane for example
Here it is now
erm, there were times you would precast cds so your flag would be full ramped when you actually needed the snap burst
Symbols, you just pressed with dance in 9/10 times
And flag you pressed before blades
Like idk
@gaunt phoenix @vivid vessel rotation dispatch at 5+ kir from second lvl stay the same??
Sub was never this "insanely complicated spec" for all of TWW
this 100% seems easier to understand
It was mega auto pilost
yes
but people thought it was
and symbols had a variable usage for second dance of blades where you may cast it at different times
simply because it had those buttons
U can split up, and add 5 buttons to any spec, it doesn't make it that exciting
again these arent big things but they are small little changes
yes, though you do prefer to kir at 3
kir at 2 if you're about to run dry
places where some modicum of niche can happen
I was saying it earlier in the sub channel but I find the sequencing to make sure your sectec gets into blades to be not like, "easy"
its not always like that though there is decision making related to phase shifts pull length etc
I wouldnt say its hard but like
What
Sub didn't do anything smart for all of TWW after shadowdust got removed
Which I don't mind
I enjoy easy specs tbqh
easy specs are fun 
i mean thats what i am saying and referring to shadowdust part which i liked and hated that it was removed because its limits decision making
sub is v nice for solo content
just read zac's post
you just run into a boss and remove half their face in 3 seconds then do it again once SecTech comes off CD
