Prepatch notes

Hey I was looking through the patch notes for outlaw and I was confused by a few things

  • Pistol Shot is now an off-hand attack for passives such as Combat Potency and reduces movement speed by 30% (was 50%).

What does this mean exactly?

  • Blade Flurry normal damage increased to 40% (was 30%), no longer has 2 charges and now has a 30 second cooldown (was 25 second recharge)

If blade flurry has a 30 second cooldown, does the duration of blade flurry change? Or is this a huge nerf?

#1 Means Pistol Shot can now trigger the energy gain from Combat Potency. So if you cast Pistol Shot with the SS buff up and it triggers CP, the net cost is only 10 energy instead of 20. The damage shouldn’t change.

#2 Not a nerf. Same duration but It leaves out that Blade Flurry is now on Restless Blades so you’re getting the CD reduction while it’s active. As long as you’re doing damage with it up, you can have nearly 100% uptime in cleave situations.
