Action bar problem - help please!

Hi all,

I appreciate this question may be more for rogues but hopefully someone can help :slight_smile:

I play rogue and have different action bars for when in and out of stealth, I have noticed that it is taking 5 seconds for the right action bar / corresponding spells/ actions to load when I leave stealth. For example, in stealth F is for cheap shot but out of stealth its mutilate. The mutilate logo does not load until I am out of stealth for 5 seconds and it should be instant.

Could someone please advise? It’s pretty much unplayable as is. Just to be super clear, it’s action bar 1 - used for both in and out of stealth but it’s not switching between the abilities / keybindings for 5 seconds after exiting stealth.

P.s I use zero add ons

What I would recommend you do is go ahead and delete the WTF and Cache folders within your WoW directory, when WoW is closed down.

Make sure that the Battlenet client is not still running in your task manager.

Once that is done, restart the launcher and WoW will redownloading those folders & files and that may finally help.

It sounds like the effect of the Subterfuge talent, where you can continue to use skills that require stealth, for a few seconds after leaving stealth. The action bar stays paged until the Subterfuge buff ends.

Oh true, I completely forgot about that xD

You’re right! Is is that talent attribute, god I hate that SO SO SO much. It means I lose two really important key bindings. I have cheap shot on F and when I am out of stealth F becomes useless for 6 seconds as there is no way in hell I would want to re-cheap shot someone. Rah, what a massive pain.

The only solution I can see here is to create new key bindings but that is going to be a massive pain as it’s beneficial being able to use the same key for two different attributes in and out of stealth - probably best to ask the rogue forum if there is a way around this?

I know what you mean. I felt I was losing some skills for the ‘subterfuge’ time, but I put them on the stealth bar and my key binds weren’t too much of a problem.
Overall I like it as outlaw, as I can spam ambush in that time and build up a load of combo points.

Yea, I’ve found a solution but it requires changing my key bindings - I love just pressing F and then F as it’s cheap shot > mutilate but it means I am going to have to reassign mutilate a different key where the initial action doesn’t require stealth. Very annoying and makes playing rogue more tricky but something I can get around I guess.

You’d normally use a DOT after cheap tbh so maybe for the best - mutilate just helpful to spam for combo points

Or perhaps this skillset just means you use ambush in place of previous skills? Been out of the game a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time (since TBC) so excuse my n00b questions
