Ive played assass and sub forever, were Assass is just easily the best pvp spec by far.
Outlaw is a complete joke imo, There is zero dmg apart from little cheapshot KS combo wich can be interupted instantly.
The only think outlaw seem to have is mobility/ survivability that dont really do any difference? Maybe as a flag carrier but thats it.
I dont wanna be forced to play assass rest of my life, i love the feel of outlaw but damn it suck so hard
Outlaw isn’t bad in PvP. It’s bad in solo shuffle and blitz.
In 3s where you play coordinated it’s actually really strong. Killing Spree could be easy to break but it deals 9-10 mln dmg.
The problem is that in RSS everyone presses stuns randomly. When everyone is DRed on Stun Outlaw cannot do anything. It’s based on dealing more damage on stun windows. Target stunned by Outlaw take 10% more damage from everyone and Outlaw’s burst windows are these 6 sec of Subterfuge after restealthing or Killing Spree. Killing Spree breaks from everything from walking more than 8 yd away from Rogue or any CC on Outlaw. You need to Kidney target before Unleashing it as Cheap Shot isn’t long enough.
Outlaw isn’t really bad. It’s just extremely hard to play and considering every low level R Shaman will Static into Capacitor then you have games where you feel hopeless. If someone plays with Outlaw then this person should spec out of extra stuns and let Outlaw be the playmaker in Shuffle.
I feel you talk about Blitz - then yes in Blitz Outlaw will be bad due to fact how it’s damage works. Sub or Assass basically can go in and burst someone down immidiately. Outlaw is more of a sustain damage spec but it’s outclassed by every other meele. The idea of Outlaw is tanky brawler with lots of control.
It works in 3s if you and your team know what you are doing. Historically it’s good with caster but also with bursty meeles. It’s definetely not a spec for solo PvP imo.
