And that is considering quite a few parses with bugged vendetta have inflated our logs.
Now we will be middle of the pack on ST and dogshit on aoe.
Gg
So I'm stupid. I still have 8% dmg increase per stack, same as last night. What did I miss? I don't understand
"Hey all. As with each major patch that significantly changes class spells and abilities, we review tuning based on live data once it’s live, to look for any tuning issues that may have arisen. Based on that, we’re planning to make the following changes during the next weekly restarts in each region. We’ll continue to pay close attention to each spec’s performance as players progress through the Nighthold, and are ready to make further adjustments as necessary."
what? combined with MA and the new trinket from NH it'll still make you sync vendetta with kingsbane and/or exsang
they're still bis, just not way better than the bracers now. how is that not "fun and rewarding"
the sub boots nerf almost cut your APM in half.
if anything it was ridiculous that the boots were basically the only legendary not to get nerfed.
Never happy to see a rogue nerf but it's really a small nerf and it's kinda deserved. AP build is op and it scaling very well with gear, and dustwalker was a bit to strong in AP build...
I don't think this nerf will have a big impact on the general strength of rogue.. it might also give a tiny bit of breathing room to exsang build.
it's not really a small nerf tho, it'Ll amount to like a ~7% dmg nerf with the boots and the AP nerf combined
DHs got like 3% and they were ahead of us :P and their AOE is immeasurably better than ours
assa is good for nothing but fucking a single target to death, so why cant they be #1 at that at least?:P
but the problem is, that once again, if sub ends up equal to assa overall or god forbid better, i wasted like 10 million AP into my assa weapon, i really wish blizz would decide wtf they want and just let me pick a spec

7% Aura Dmg Buff in 7.1.5, followed by AP Nerf that's a 5-6% dmg reduction....makes sense.
yeah, it does actually
since AP is a talent not the entire spec, they buff the entire spec and the nerf AP thus making the other options more desirable/equal
in fact exsang might be even better than AP now at least before the setbonus
AP as a concept was pretty broken anyway to tell you the truth, it made assa rogues scale insanely well, imagine how nuts it wouldve been with the last tier gear

I get that, I think i'm just frustrated that on balance the overall dps is more in-line across talents, but now you may need to farm other relics (GW) or secondary stat gear if you want to swap.
I feel like this is a sign of how this shit will go for the whole expac. These little adjutments that bring things in line, but have downstream impact on gearing or even what spec pulls ahead. Before you could just swap talents around and suck it up, now you have AP, Relics, Legendaries and gear to contend with.
I'm sure you can relate - if you had put all your AP into sub, then they heavily nerf the boots and don't offset the dmg reduction, you'd be fucked.

You are a fool if you believe Assassination wasn't stronger than it should. The nerf to Agonizing Poison is well deserved, specially to make Exsanguinate builds viable again. Same goes for Duskwalker's Foodpads: pretty much all legendary items were nerfed, while this one was left untouched, regardless being BiS for MA builds.
The only problem I see is: they nerfed MA relics when they should have nerfed the boots instead. Now, they nerfed the boots, while MA relics are still nerfed. I think we should all go complain on Forums and demand Blizzard to revert the stealth nerf to MA relics that they didn't even have the decency to acknowledge so far.
The truth is: they are nerfing CDRs because of that trinket that has a chance to reduce Vendetta's cooldown by 5 seconds. I dunny why they are recycling trinkets from SoO, but this trinket shouldn't even be in the game to being with. When people get this trinket, they probably gonna nerf CDR a bit more, because reasons...

give him a break he's just upset
assa rogues wouldve probably not been overperforming in NH thanks to every single boss having cleave
and while assa CAN do decent cleave and burst AOE like , it's totally RNG and if it doesnt proc you do jackshit, at best it'll work like 1/10 times, hardly something you can rely on
if they made poison bomb more reliable to compensate, or increased FoK/deadly poison dmg to buff assa AOE a bit, it'd be fine.
i mean they're not gonna be bad persay(in fact we'll still be okay/goodish), but we're gonna be a spec who's good for one thing and we're not even gonna be the best at that.
i mean it's not like i can pad meters with 2 million explosive shots :P
