It's worth noting that assassination, as far as I can tell now, has always been slightly ahead of combat in terms of sims - the profile was the only thing holding it back. Of course, it's easily conceivable that the other profiles still need more tuning, as always I encourage people to take any of the profiles, make tweaks and see if you can get something back which is performing better.

Don't be too put off by the length of the sub profile, it's not too scary once you sink your teeth into it!

Your APL is about 1.6% better than the current default APL, most of what was holding assassination down was tier/trinket balancing in t17 from what I can tell, but the APL probably wasn't helping. Here's hoping assassination stays #1 ST, makes my life 10x easier.

"10x boring" you meant. :P

Do not use Anticipation until you have the 4p T18 bonus and you will see it is not boring and not that easy to optimize.

sweet back to using mfd- i was bursting 80k in highmaul with that setup cant wait to use it again

Certainly that's what's pushed Assassination out into current pack leader, but the profile was beating combat at the end of the previous tier as well (just need to adjust combo point conditions to not expect constant crits).

Even if it's a bit lower than Ryme's SimC and only a fist preview, it seems we'll stay a "middle-of-the-pack" hero this time around... Don't know we've done to Blizzard this expansion to deserve such a treatment

Thank you for the comparison. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Now that we can see how the specs stand, it's quite easy to see why arcane mages needed buffing their T18 set bonuses some more.... wait, what?

I have faith.

Why though, I have no idea. Least we aren't paladins based on these numbers.

Where is sub's profile?

Also, quarter of Assa's and Feral's damage is trinket.

Arcane Mage xD

And? I don't think you understand how the trinket works.

I may have missed something, but last night I was checking the damage breakdown for assasination (live) and my Envenom EACH try was max (crit) 79041 damage. Just always this fixed value as max crit. Anyone knows why this is?

Wait.. Does "Stored" mean that char deals 0 damage to enemies when buff is up?

[Kennpai]

Yes, you store all the damage and then explode for 130% or whatever of it.

Since all PTR patches are now going to be RC does that mean that class "balancing" is done and rogues are doomed to mediocrity in terms of damage?

[Wow]

That patch that will add flying is probably have some balancing but I wouldn't hold my breath..

Still, we are not retribution paladins. Difference between arcane mage and retribution is currently over 50%

[Wow]

Since were on release builds I'm guessing they aren't going to fix this

Sanguinary Vein

"Sanguinary Vein now causes the Rogue to deal 30% more damage to targets affected by Rupture (up from 25%)." was in the notes from the start but that is all that ever happened.

Anyone have an idea of how we fare against Ferals according to sims? The last sim I saw yesterday, Mutilate as mid pack on Single Target, with Sub no where to be seen. All while all 3 mage specs were in the top 10.

I 100% dislike the Mutilate play style, always have, and by the looks of it, Mutilate is going to be our Single Target spec with Combat being the go to spec with any type of cleave. I have a Feral/Boomkin geared as well, but I really need to figure out where Feral sits against Rogues in terms of HFC.

Mages always looks great on paper tho. There are very few fights they can just stand there and nuke 100%. Melee generaly have a higher uptime on bosses specially if your a rogue. :s
