Why is my energy randomly bottomed out?

So I have an extreme high APM spec (Outlaw) that bottoms out on energy regen randomly and I’m standing there 4-5 seconds to hit one ability again? what?

it happens when you press sinister strike too much

Sinister Strike is 45 Energy for One Combo point (base) with a 35% chance of gaining a second.

If you ‘get a flat tire’ (no getting any procs for Pistol Shot OR Opportunity) you will run out of energy on the fifth Sinister Strike.

I had made a suggestion of making Sinister Strike give a base of two combo points and Triple Threat replacing Opportunity, but some Tauren got super snooty and poo-poo’d that idea.

My guy you don’t even understand that pistol shot / opportunity is literally the exact same thing and not only that TT replacing Opp might be one of the worst suggestions that anybody has ever made about this spec. Also for the record, it’s not my problem that you got upset when you found out that our best build doesn’t even press Ambush even once which goes against your whole rhetoric of wanting to turn the spec into literally only one single button.

And both of them have awful proc chances. Having Sinister Strike with a base 2 combo points and Triple Threat replacing Opportunity (still getting the additional combo point/Quick Draw proc) would alleviate some of the poor energy regen as reliable combo point generation.

It was a surprise Crackshot is that degenerate of a capstone, and what do you mean ‘turn the spec into one single button’, it already exists in Crackshot, or are you going to tell me you press more than ‘Between the Eyes’?

lol I’m looking at my logs from last night, Silken Court kill that was 6m52s in duration, wanna take a guess at how many times Triple Threat proc’d? 9. Yep nine. Literally all they need to do is put Opportunity back to 45% baseline. Also if crackshot is a one button build, why is it that the vast majority of people playing this spec can’t actually play the spec? Are you going to blame irrelevant rng?

Literally all of your posts on these forums are just wanting to dismantle the entire class into pressing nothing but Sinister Strike and Dispatch. If you want to ruin the spec then please go play something else. Go play BM hunter where you literally don’t have to think at all or Ret where you just hit anything that lights up on your bars with no thought process.

You do not understand the problems with the spec or how to even fix them.

They can’t keep up with the ridiculous APM requirement, the spinning plates, and just how uninteresting the actual gameplay is. That’s why people are drawn to Assassination because it feels better to play.

I want alternatives than Crackshot and Fatebound. Crackshot spam is not fun and there’s an entire spec tree rotting away because of that one Capstone. Can we please get some diversity in the spec and not your personal APM wank bank?

Neither does the class developer. Why can’t people have opinions outside of that sewer sump you call a class discord?

I mean, he just fixed Coup De Grace in the next patch. Give me a break. Killing Spree is still terrible.

You literally have those alternatives. You do not pvp, you don’t raid, you don’t do keys, you don’t do dungeons in general, you don’t even do lfr. You do world content. What you do in world content does not matter. I don’t understand the concept of trying to destroy something that other people enjoy. You are not the main character. The spec isn’t for you but that’s fine because it doesn’t have to be made for you. You have 10 million other alternatives for doing world quests.

I do raid (Normal run in three hours, actually). I do keys. I do delves. The only thing I don’t do is PvP. Keep achievement sniping me if it really makes you feel better.

How many people are playing Outlaw currently? Are you honestly willing to torpedo an entire spec to get your APM spam?

It doesn’t have to be made just for you either. No one is asking for your APM fest to be removed, just alternatives that don’t automatically suffer because they’re not Crackshot/Fatebound.

Some variety, holy crap. Are you that threatened other people might enjoy Outlaw a little more if there was?

“Achievement sniping” is a good one because it’s factual information that you literally cannot deny. You haven’t done a single key this expansion. Are you going to say it’s “character only achievements” because it’s not I can see your alts on checkpvp. You did what one maybe two keys in DF capping out at a 5 and never even did 0s of entire dungeons. Not sure why you’re trying to lie when it’s all available to see and instantly contradicts you.

Not denying anything. You realize people can close one account and make another one, right?

Keys just started this week.

You’re not going to find anything because this is a new account.

Contradicts what? I never said I was a part of the over-competitive nonsense that is Mythic/M+ treadmill.

I closed one account because I thought my WoW playing was over, but as it turned out, there aren’t a whole lot of interesting games outside of WoW currently.

And there it is we’ve reached the “it’s another account” and literally any kind of credibility is thrown at the window at this point. We’ve reached the ultimate excuse.

Credibility for what? Are you RWF? Did you have any actual input on how the spec was designed?

And I’m not hiding it. You just assumed I was lying (about what, I don’t know).

I just find it hilarious you’re completely hostile in a forum that none who develop the Rogue class ever sees, while there’s an actual developer in the class discord where all of the ‘skilled’ calculators live and he still doesn’t fix anything.

So, go nuts about my profile if you really think it helps.

I don’t understand why you think anybody wants to “destroy” the Crackshot build, I literally just want a viable alternative because I find it clunky and un-fun

Can we just appreciate that this thread was hijacked by two dudes arguing about sinister strike?

Hijacking is in the Rogue class fantasy for sure. They should give us the ability to throw other people off their mounts and ride them away
