Island Expedition Rewards Guide
Our friends over at Warcraft Secrets have published a guide on the sources of the different Island Expedition rewards.

Lol FoK doesn't even hit hard. It main use is to apply poisons

With the PvP talent and the trait (single or stacked) it dealt quite a bit of damage,with the range increase,it allowed rogues to sweep areas the size of an average arena clean in a matter of seconds

I get the range nerf, but they nerfed damage on a perk nobody uses because it's weak as fuck.

[Drusin]

I look forward to seeing how the WarcraftSecrets post affects what people do in expeditions

It's used in rbgs. Rogues can do stupid amounts of aoe damage in the initial fight over mid in certain bgs.

Hoo boy, can't wait to see how bull collecting all that junk is gonna be..

Lol some of it sells for a lot, plus mounts aren't junk.

[Danuel]

Like always thanks PvP. That's why we don't have nice things.

[Micronetic]

Is this nerf a joke, must be, since it doesn't even hurt me? And still nothing for Warlocks, great job Blizzard

[Thelxi]

Well that is the final nail in the coffin for rogue for me. It sucks that too many people figured out FoK is OP in PvP, but this on top of the sub nerfs has lowered the rogue fun factor for me by 76. Mediocrity on long cooldowns, pass.

[Tyrannica]

what? this hardly got used, who is farming azerite traits to use the fan of knive in random bgs?

While in arena this is totally usless.

While in rated bgs you still have to play sub.

Top priority pvp changes.....where are the dk and lock buffs?

well rogue ruins fun of every other class in pvp

Cheese mechanics are fun

[PlazaPlaza]

Where are the DH, rdruid and disc nerfs??

[Soeroah]

Lol some of it sells for a lot, plus mounts aren't junk.

I'm just calling it junk because it's essentially just digital stuff that doesn't mean much in a real world context but I want them all because I'm a collector, and I'm annoyed at the fact collecting it all is going to be the worst grind I've had to do in WoW's entire lifespan.

And because, at least according to the comments section of every Q&A, cosmetic stuff "doesn't matter" to most players.

It matters to asmongold, and asmongold matters to everyone <3

So part of your rogue fun factor was doing OP AoE in PvP on a class that already kicks butt? If your hinge on Rogue was that fickle to begin with then it begs the question why you played the class in the first place.

Are you literally not reading a thing people are telling you? The perk was allowing rogues to do crazy AoE in PvP, therefore people precisely WERE using it. That's WHY it got nerfed. Goodness gracious...

I clearly said the fun factor is decreased for me with this on top of the sub nerfs. Maybe your hinge on reading comprehension is too fickle.

You quoted them clearly replying to someone else. What were you saying about people questioning your reading comprehension?
