I have picked up that new HO/Trickster build recently and i'm having trouble with my energy. I feel like im always starving. I was playing KIR/Fatebound last season and was doing great (99.3 avg parse for my ilvl) and never had any energy starving problem.
Here is an exemple of HO/Trickster. I see outlaws doing so much more but because of the lack of energy i just can't keep up
I'm thinking about just going back to KIR/Fatebound even tho it sims lower
while i cant comment on your rotation, I am still noob at it too. I can tell you what others have told me.
We have to get used to adding Ks and coup and timing them, if we miss a ks then consider that being "behind" in your rotation and its already messed up.
While we still focus bte in subterfuge windows, outside we have to prioritize ks and coup. No matter how aweful the situation is.
Meanwhile with all this extra work, we can die from ks, get stunned by ks and even if all is perfect it will still be behind a normal class. Outlaw is still suffering from lack of dmg.
however, you can always get ahead with ilvl and perfect rotations like any class. But our perfect rng is just a normal thing for other classes with little effort.
Eventually you get used to ks and coup like we had to get used to BTE spam.
But even then, for me learning ks and coup doesnt feel rewarding. Its more a forced by the devs and stupid to add to our rotation.
There is quite a difference in AOE as trickster because it has AOE talents. But single target is okay to still play kir fatebound.
All in all, outlaw is still a for fun spec, under-tuned as always.
goodluck outlaw!
low energy feeling could perhaps be from pressing pistol shot in stealth a lot
ps is used to proc ambush when ambush is not available, so when you press it in stealth you are munching potential ambush casts
ambush casts should be like over 2.5x that of sinister strike
and yes trickster has an important rule of delaying vanish based on ks cooldown, if you are not at risk of losing adrenaline rush
if ks cooldown is under 20s or so then you dont vanish if you can afford it
scrolling through cauldron timeline there are a lot of lost KS casts i think
for one thing, KS is an energy net positive button (esp. when supercharged) so losing casts is perhaps influential on feeling starved
but also just KS proccing 2 unseen blades on a 17s cooldown is the core reason to not lose casts
i believe im seeing like
at the end of some stealth windows you fire a raw BtE cause stealth just ended
but KS is ready so KS should have had priority
maybe thinking stealth was still active and you could fit a final bte
wait, what ? KS has priority on BtE ? I thought it was better to have BtE on CD before sending KS or Coup.
So with Coup or KS up and BtE off CD priority is Coup > KS > BtE ?
I guess faq is clear and i've just been overthinking things, as always
Thank you guys so much for the tips, I will keep working on it. I think my main mistake is not pressing KS enough and pressing pistol shot over ambush when it's avaible (since this is what im used to press when playing KIR/Fatebound). Also yea i'm always pressing BTE when avaible even when not in stealth so i'll have to train my brain to press KS instead
