I have main played outlaw/combat rogue since vanilla days, I have sat through all the horror that they have gone through. I am making my usual new expansion post, please blizzard stop nerfing outlaw. We are supposedly a C-class right now, but it feels like F-class… Between the eyes needs a damage boost, killing spree slight damage boost and sinister strike and ambush both could use a little damage boost as well. Outlaw should always be one of the best performers in AOE situations, with blade flurry. Please show us some love BLIZZARD!

We need a bit of fixing but it’s def not as bad as you make it look 
They tuned Outlaw to make it not dog-water. The least, the very least they could do is push the refresh to BtE and no GCD lock on Coup de Grace to live before November. Additionally, rework killing spree if we’re going to have to play it. Channeling abilities feels bad on Outlaw, especially with the loss of Acro.
Additionally, Fatebounds capstone just needs replacing. A flat damage boost from a rare event or jumping through hoops to get it is just uninspired. Fatebound can be entirely ignored and the whole tree will function nearly identically to if you’re forcing flips - What a heroic fantasy.

They can start truly improving this spec by getting rid of RtB

For the love of God please get rid of the Vanish Dancing. It’s so annoying to play, especially in solo content

Outlaw can be improved by removing vanish as a DPS CD, fixing between the eyes locking bug, fixing grapple hook going on CD even when it doesnt connect with ground, making both fatebound and trickster not be the least inspired hero talents in the game and actually improving communication around fixing long standing issues.

Oh yeah i agree, Vanish being a dmg CD is just wrong.

Especially since you’re only taking the Vanish for Subterfuge, which in turn you only use Subterfuge explicitly for Crackshot.
Crackshot is a bit overloaded as a capstone. No CD, Strongest Finisher, Ace, and it Dispatches on top of it is ridiculous compared to the extremely weak capstones in the tree.
(Greenskins was nerfed for hitting to hard, but nah its okay to make Between the Eyes spammable).

The entire rouge class needs a re-work, it is evident that the rouge product manager didn’t have a voice in this expac. Both outlaw and sub are very much out of date and are having a hard time this expac, only multi rouge have some kind of respectable damage output so far.
