Outlaw rogue’s spell between the eyes is bugged. sometimes when i use it from stealth it goes on cd with the crackshot talent. but the main problem is when between the eyes is on cd, and i go into stealth or use vanish, if i then use another ability like amush, dispatch or pistolshot, the cd on between the eyes looks like it resets, but it doesnt. so it looks like its on cd but if i try to use it i get the startup animation and sound of between the eyes but it doesnt do anything. but the cd is going down in the background somewhere. so i have to use dispatch and just guess when between the eyes is off cd again.
something about the 11.0.5 change to it that vanish is going to reset between the eyes cd somehow fixes part of it, but this does not fix it if i was just in an encounter, and got out of combat and restealthed with BTE on cd…
it is a really serious bug, as you have forced the crackshot reset, stealth subterfuge window playstyle build so hard it is impossible to play anything else without losing 20% dmg. and as of last nerf we are doing way lower dmg of others with best build, i cant afford losing another 20%. with BTE being the main dmg spell in our rotation, a bug on the main dmg spell is gamebreaking for the spec. it is a very fast-pace spec and having to deal with the bug loses alot of GCDs which outlaw might be the worst spec to lose GCDs as every one is important for the CD reduction playstyle.
Bumping for the bumps, Outlaw is my favourite rogue spec, but I haven’t played it at all in TWW because the amount of bugs makes it, quite literally, unplayable in PvP.
Between BTE not working properly, and the constant stealth bugs, Outlaw is really, reeeaaally bad right now. It’s sad, it’s the most different rogue spec, but since they also made them much more reliant on Subterfuge to do meaningful damage, it feels. So. Gimped.
Yeah, i totally agree.
But i think that outlaws problem currently, further lies in the fact that we were designed a rather “short” time ago (legion). And that Blizzard never figured out what exactly they want our playstile to be.
Combat was a straight up stealth “warrior”, with tricks and other stuff to cc our opponents.
Outlaw in turn was this weird pirate that was nearly ranged at times with acrobatic strikes increasing our range, and pistol shots being a ranged ability.
BtE was more of a ranged kidney shot in the beginning.
Now BtE is a mayor part of our rotation and due to the pirate theme they give us more and more rng mechanics (roll the bones in the beginning and now coin flips…).
We have no identity except “Pirate” and Gampling…
