Can outlaw get get buffed in pvp?

Legit one of the worst specs in the game, got nerfed 1 week into season one and hasn’t even been viable since 9/6. It’s been almost 10 months since this spec has seen the light of day. Just revert these nerfs and maybe it would be viable?

Outlaw is, without a doubt, insanely fun. Honestly they were okay before the Snake Eyes change.

It’s like Blizzard doesn’t play their own game. What’s the point of changing Snake Eyes to the next 10 SS? If we don’t get the right buffs we re-roll and essentially waste our Snake Eyes procs.

Smh.

I main Outlaw and do just fine in bgs and wpvp. You just need triple deadshot and at least two ace up your sleeves. Play around the gun attacks and not snake eyes.

25% crit strike minimum and some versatility helps. I am only 404 ilvl but can hit 25k Between the eyes into 25-30k pistol shot crits.

With a high base crit %, the crit bones buff, and now with the critical strike pvp essence I have a lot of fun.

I mainly just enjoy the extra tools like dismantle and double vial. If you go iron stomach, double vial is a crazy big heal…

I can second this. While I play Sin now earlier in the expansion most of my WM kills were done with the pistol abilities. The ranged stun is what you want to focus your playstyle around and Deadshot makes it all the more potent. All this combined with Outlaw’s wealth of mobility makes it pretty fun.

My biggest problem always came with healers though and I always had a lot of trouble soloing them. You need someone along with you who actually has a mortal strike to be truly effective in that regard.

Yeah, but it’s really not that good in competitive lol. Legit only 3% of rogue players even bothered touching outlaw last season. Sure it can work in wpvp. But in arena this spec 100% needs buffs.

Correct. Outlaw can be played in 3s and there are a handful of them 2500+. In 2s against a healer comp it would be extremely difficult to win. A slight damage buff is all they need to be in line with sin and sub.

Nope. Wont back you on this one. Combat doesn’t belong in rated pvp.

id still not play it i hate rtb.
