Outlaw is in a terrible state

Community General Discussion

  • Dispatch is by far the weakest spender in the game. Ambush deals more damage, making Dispatch feel dull and unimpactful.
  • RNG-based mechanics feel awful. It’s frustrating to hit Sinister Strike once and barely generate combo points, especially when even healers can outdamage you during that window.
  • Using Vanish as an offensive cooldown is terrible and not enjoyable. That should be a Subtlety feature, not Outlaw.
  • Fatebound is the most boring Hero Talent in the game—just another version of Roll the Bones with no real excitement.

I think outlaw needs total redesign. How would you improve the spec? Here some ideas

  • Make dispach to hit at least 30% harder
  • Make blade rush viable to pick up. This is an interesing ability but it does crap damage.
  • Make killing spree interact more with our abilities, like for example: Makes your next 5 sinister strike or ambush hit twice after it’s used
  • Get rid of crackshot mechanic. Its awful and not fun to use. Instead, replace it with a talent like “Reduce the cooldown of BTE and makes the crit damage hit 6 times harder instead of 4.”

Let’s not forget about Roll the Bones. A button you have to keep pressing and does no damage. It’s almost as fun as Feint. And not they’re buffing the crap out of it in Undermined. :man_facepalming:

Maybe they fell asleep playing the spec so they didn’t notice?

I could write a book on the problems I have with Rogue in general right now.

Surprisingly I disagree with ~1/2 of OP.

Getting rid of Roll the Bones would be a great start for the spec.

Roll the Bones doesn’t do damage, it’s a buff you have to keep up.

So buffs dont give dmg ? lol

No, buffs don’t do damage, the attacks you do with the buff up do damage.

You can count on one hand the damage abilities of outlaw. That was my point.
The rotation is absolutely stagnant. Made even worse by 3/5 damage dealers being situational and based on procs and what not lol.

And funny enough, my spec of hunter has the same number. The big difference is I hit them WAY more.
