Assassination trick

**Viglante** · 2012-02-07, 01:26 PM

remember to do it early enough as -> respecing wipes your energy to 0 which means if your switching to sub and you do it to late you ambush then,,,,, have no energy for abilities during find weakness opener so your down on damg.

And glyph vendetta in your assassination spec, and equip 4pc before casting vendetta before switching back to your sub gear. Sounds delicious.

The hardest punishment you'd probably get for this is whatever boss kill you used it on negated, if someone happens to report it for some reason. No reason to worry, really.

Because it's ok, as long as you don't get punished.

I'm basing the assumption of no punishment on Bliz's recent reactions. While the ret bug could be triggered accidentally, some of the seal-twisting guys were obviously on to SOMETHING, and if you post on WoL there's no real arguing that 200k dps is fine in this tier. Also, if you look at similar bugs in the past, such as mastery stack as sub, -> slice and dice -> assassination -> refresh the mastery-boosted slice and dice with envenom, or when the priests had a bug that let them carry a multiplier through the fight, etc.- in all of these cases, everyone keeps the kills, no one gets in trouble, and the problem gets fixed.

It definitely works on Ultraxion.

If someone wanted to test this "for science", while recognizing that it's a bug and should be reported as such in the official forums, use gouge. Gouge has no damage range, so go to a target dummy naked (to ensure no trinket or other procs), and do one test with vendetta, and another without.

And again, then post the results (if the damage bonus carries through) on the blizzard forums so you get a cookie for helping squash a bug in game.

Already posted on blizzard forums, but i don't have any test results feel free to add them: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4038554700#1

It has worked the entire expansion, just that people haven't noticed it really until now.

Necessary? Rofl, who said it was? More DPS is more DPS, even if you're the number one rogue in the world, it's still a DPS increase. It's actually worked since cata launched, people just didn't really know until recently.

**ymirsson** · 2012-02-12, 02:19 AM

And a DPS increase is always necessary, because ...?
