Trying Outlaw, looking for non stealth Rogue gameplay

[StillMcfuu]

So I just read that Blizzard nerfed Outlaw big-time, changing Blade Fury spell?

Crap.

I was just getting into my Rogue and getting comfortable with Outlaw. Now everyone saying due to the nerf this week, the spec blows now. Is that true?

Or do I just go Assassin?

It won't be that big of an issue. Outlaw was ridiculous good at aoe without any real effort for it. Its still really good at aoe, just more in line with other specs that are still really good at aoe.

Unless you raid mythic or run high keys in M+, don't bother, 99% of the game can be completed with any class/spec.

Did a Mythic 0 in Assassin and I love the spec a lot, but... energy regen just not fun, lots of times I'm waiting for energy to pool back up. And I'm using the talents recommended for quicker regen.

Went back to Outlaw, ran Darshore WF, and it was smooth sailing, always energy available, and just smoother rotation.

Maybe I'll go back to Assassin in 9.0

I've been playing my Rogue specs all in M+ AOE talents and rotation.

Maybe I should try Assassin as single target Raid spec, see what's that like?

If you want to have a button to press every available moment, Assassination is not for you, indeed.

Ok, please say more. Really.

I'm so used to classes where it's warp speed attacking, buttons proc lots of times, and spells ready one after another.

I can adjust, I just didn't know that Assassin was like this? Slowly build up energy, then use the 5 point finisher spell, and then start again, SLOWLY building up energy

[ymirsson]

It gets better with better equip, but in essence, assassination is not mashing buttons. Either stick to Outlaw or try Sub, lots of things to do too, but Sub is unforgiving when deciding wrong.

[Zorachus]

Maybe I'll stick with outlaw for my m+ and world quest spec.

And just use assassin for raiding single target stuff

Look what the outstanding (/s) Legion/BFA class design has reduced us to....
