Comment by LedarenDoes the Outlaw author know what they're talking about at all? The 4p obviously makes Roll the Bones refresh one buff when cast, and not all of them passively forever, wtf?Comment by ThundernifDoes the Outlaw author know what they're talking about at all?

Secret Technique is a three-part attack. It has an initial physical hit and two delayed shadow clone attacks. The first 1 second and the second 1.3 seconds after the initial hit. Rogue has a one-second static global cooldown and the second shadow clone attack will hit after you are able to use a new ability."

Somewhat confused here, do the clones from Secret Technique count for the 4 set?Comment by fuu1"The four-set bonus relies on the two-set bonus, but also has a slightly hidden interaction with Secret Technique.

SnD is still present, garrote is only effective when used from stealth (chain pulls are a thing...), and roll the bones is awful.Comment by yager05"The four-set bonus relies on the two-set bonus, but also has a slightly hidden interaction with Secret Technique.

Maybe only sub rogue is playable, but now they gonna make outlaw to be meta....Comment by NarhwalsBut again biggest problem is that, rogue is piano playstyle u need to click nonstop all the buttons!Comment by AvengerxAs others commented below the author really needs to reread the Outlaw 4 piece set bonus. Do we know how the 4p actually works for Outlaw? I mean if we only have 1 buff, and we get "unlucky" and reroll the same buff does that mean I now have that buff with a 40sec duration and can get theoretically unlucky forever with just the same roll, or it's "smart" that it first gives us the 40sec buff + additional buff(s) from RotB?

@Kryplixx
You are absolutely right, unfortunately it was foreseeable from the moment they said it's only talent tree redesign...Although I think only RotB is a problem now as SnD's duration won't decrease while BF is up which you'll prolly will want to have active all the time anyways.Comment by DekardcaiinI was more excited for the rogue rework before I saw it and the tier set bonuses. Wasnt expecting Retribution Rework levels of damage, but this still looks less than thrilling. While the Ret tier set gets automatic 50% effectivness finisher duplication if the rotation is done correctly, Sub only gets a chance to have the tier set proc...was most excited for Assasination changes, but it still looks under tuned. Guess Ill stick to Ol Reliable Ret. Outlaw cant be tuned high enough to make me play it.Comment by MuppetshowAssassination sounds fun. I'm all in. Love the idea of just cleaving to adds around our main target, might make M+ more manageable.Comment by islanddeacAssassination sounds fun. I'm all in.

The plural form of "bonus" is "bonuses".
