What's even more puzzling is the buffs to assassination rogues. They're already fucking broken in single target, to the point of shadow priests if not ahead. And somehow demo, which is far behind them and arms warriors gets nerfed despite being far more reliant on not moving at all or being targeted by mechanics (lol cloak of shadows+cheat death, what mechanics?).

Guarm mythic, how in hell is demo middle of the pack despite being good at NOTHING besides turreting a single target with little movement?
Demo has no aoe, no target switching, no mobility. What's the point of a spec like that if it can't dominate in single target under ideal circumstances?
With the changes to PTR it's going to be quite the exodus from demo to affliction if malefic grasp stays as is since it might actually be a spec that competes with assassination and arms and is not crippled by movements or now all the rampant knockbacks that interrupt a TKC window.
