Ive run into an issue that I need to know if anyone else is running into as well. yes I tested with all addons turned off and Ive tried on multiple toons. Havent had the time to install on another PC to test if its hardware but I doubt it. I like to do my mount runs and farm for BOE’s late at night after consuming tasty beverages so the setting “enable action targeting” (which just auto targets whichever mob is directly in front of your character) helps a ton when I can barely see but it seems to be bugging out the Between the eyes ability. It acts as if it cannot find the target that is directly in front of me. Once I manually tab target or mouse target the mob it still wont allow for Between the eyes to be casted until I consume combo points with dispatch. (that is the part that confuses me so much) once I use dispatch between the eyes can find the mob just fine. Anyone else seen this happen or do I just need to stop using the setting?
Just levelled my outlaw rogue up last night and bopped around in LFRs, ran into this a lot. Seems to be some bug about BtE getting put on cooldown when entering combat, but the icon doesn’t display that. Dispatch fixing it is due to Restless Blades getting BtE off of cooldown I think.
Very annoying when it happens. Throws off my opener.
The “accidentally put on CD despite being stealthed” is caused by some rotation involving cheatshot opener, as well as using Between the Eyes from out of combat stealth. It’s the one where you can actually see BTE is on the full cooldown.
The BTE won’t cast despite playing the sound and animation with the jammed gun without showing a cooldown is just… random who knows what happened, but casting any other finisher seems to fix it. I noticed this problem a lot more with Fatebound and less with Trickster, but only because with Trickster I was casting a ton more Killing Spree which may or may not have helped.
In every case. It’s a bug. A really, really cruddy one. I can only hope with the Anniversary update, where the cooldown on BTE is reset everytime you enter stealth (including vanish), it’ll at least remove the mistiming… to make the bug not-as-bad-but-still-very-bad. Gosh. What is wrong with this stupid gun.
Welp thank you both for your responses im glad to hear its not just me, It should get fixed somewhat soon since BTE is performing so well more people will be running into the bug
You’re new around here aren’t you?
Stealth has been Fubar for literal years.
Grapple too.
They are doing a bandaid fix in the .5 patch that just resets BtE when entering Stealth.
That’s going to lead to the degenerate crackshot play style being even more mandatory, and probably damage nerfs to compensate for the BtE uptime.
Cheers to the bandaid fix because at the moment thats all I need. Im not a M+ player or raider. I casually PVP and farm legacy content. hopefully for the classes sake that the DMG nerfs arnt too harsh but looking at recent logs I doubt they will be heavy, Rogue isnt performing very well overall. But who knows last xpack we were nasty all S1 when I played, maybe this is just karma
