Why do people say Outlaw is a pirate?

[Aldo Hawk]

Cannonball Barrage
Roll the Bones
Parlay
Pistol Shot
Blunderbuss
Run Through
Saber Slash

all very piratey

I am sure they are others

quite obviously a pirate

These aren't 'piratey' exclusive and Parley is a talent choice, as cannonball barrage, so... killing spree is '!pirate themed? well, i can see a pirate from one piece doing something like that, and how 'rolling bones／dices' are a pirate thing?

Even Bribe isn't a pirate thing, anyone can fool fools with fake gold...

path assaulter sounds like a RPing lawn mower or weed wacker guy

Dude, just give up, Outlaw is a fucking pirate stereotype.

[MisterBigglez]

I wouldn't have "You are a pirate" play when I get 5 RtB buffs if it were not a pirate.

[Phookah]

You're a pirate, hence why you use a saber and a pistol and gamble. Hell, you even have a talent to fire a literal cannon barrage at a target. You're a pirate, Blizzard who made the class and spec says you're a pirate.


You're a pirate, Harry.

Sure outlaw have pirate things, but is not everything about it, it can be other things, is that hard to understand? XD

It's completely inspired by Pirates dude, just stop it.

I have given arguments, if you don't I will not take it seriously.

[Oakshana]

Don't think pirate.

Think "swashbuckler". That's more akin to Outlaws theme.

Arguments? You're just trying to hide that the Outlaw spec is in anyway not a Pirate inspired class while it is. There skills are inspired by pirate theme's. The artifact weapon quest is inspired by pirate theme's. The name of the spec is inspired by pirate theme's. Combat, the spec before outlaw wasn't pirate at all, but this one def is mate.

I start to think this is just bait and you're just trolling anyway.

If you can't see how outlaw isn't pirate themed, I don't know what to tell you. It has plenty of other themes, but the pirate one is extremely clear and by far the strongest.

I say this with all due respect, but you are in denial my friend. You are obsessing over semantics to try and support your view. You must really, really want outlaw to not be pirate themed.

Are you going to say that cannonball barrage isn't pirate themed too? That roll the bones is just a gambler ability (why not name it dice roll)?

I am honestly curious why you dislike the idea of outlaws being pirate themed so much. What's causing this? Do you just hate pirates?

You are using XD in your arguments, no one takes you seriously.

[Insonia]

cause they are pirates

[Aldo Hawk]

If you start with strawmans and crap i'll just leave, holy molly even quoting me you try to change what I say hahaha.

And seriously, you just asked me if I am a troll? Good luck trolling me i'll not get triggered by that XD

[meowfurion]

Oh I dunno...because the NPC who is the primary focus of the spec LOOKS AND TALKS AND ACTS like a pirate? That might be something to do with it maybe?

[Donald Hellscream]

I don't know.. cursed cutlasses taken from the corpse of another dreaded pirate, a toolkit that screams pirate, the fact that the guy who sets you on the path of the artifact weapon is a member of the bloodsail buccaneers is pretty telling.

Pretty much, And look at the Tethys is a pirate. And he is outlaw.

[Niffo]

XD

I know enough.

[Raqubor]

The spec has many talents and abilities that support the pirate theme, but thankfully this is an RPG, so you can transmog / tailor yourself / story any way you want.

I played a frost DK as an ice shaman once.

Because it is? Case closed?
