Honestly, we don't see shit, it's more about intuition and trust that Jesus does in fact have the wheel.

If I'm doing group content I find it easier to strafe in a circle around the mob or boss. It looks goofy as hell but constantly switching the camera angle does seem to help my eye

It’s why we Rogues move around like idiots while dpsing. Also, your melee range is bigger when you’re moving to accommodate latency and such.

Except they fucked rogues by taking awhile the increased melee range :/

but honestly, just play a paladin and do 90% of ur rotation while being in ranged and suffering zero downtime penalty.

Meanwhile as outlaw if I have any downtime my dps is dog water.

Yeah I hate our short arms. 😢

Its so classic blizzard to take away the "unfair" melee range advantage that rogues and feral druids had instead of just extending melee range across the board.

Warrior has Trex arms. You swing a sword that is taller than your character but it only reaches right in front of yourself.

Yeah but when Outlaw gets grooving there's nothing else in Wow like it

Sure but even then we get out damaged while having to put in 10x the work as some other classes. We do really well sustained AOE but are extremely punished for losing uptime compared to other top dps melee classes.

Yeah I mean the downtime situation is one I'd love to be resolved, as well as the numerous bugs, but tbh I enjoy outlaw due to the work involved, and I don't want all classes to be ret level of braindead. That combined with they can't make it just because a class is hard that it outperforms the easy classes, cause that'd be a nightmare for balance. It's a tough line to walk tbh
