Dear Blizzard-Team,
there has beed a new small fix, that was supposed to fix assassination double dipping with caustic spatter.
With this latest „fix“ a whole slew of bugs were either overlooked or reintroduced.
The lead writer for assassination guides on wowhead Whispyr made a very good video on this. Many of those bugs are really horrible when you play assasination. The list looks something like this, however the indepth analysis was done by Whispyr:
- sudden demise damage does not work properly (according to Whispyr mainly in open world and delves)
- Twist the knife: Low combo point envenoms causes the overlapping Evenom-debuffs to synch intro parallel
- Sanguine blades benefits slightly more then it should
- Fate Bound: The cooldown reduction (set piece bonus) will break and desync the timers (this is apparently triggered by the flipped coins being projectiles that have to be „recollected“ by the character
- Fate Bound: Seal Fate can be triggered by Tails coins from abilities that are not generators, this does not hurt us but it also does not make sense)
- Fatal Intent: Not only is the Damage bugged, but the fatal intent Debuff on a target can also simply drop off (i.e. if you have longer intermissions in boss fights (for example in phases where you hit adds or pylons in the current raid)
- Momentum of Despair: Naming Mistake in the description. Also Momentum of Despair should be buffed by the new setpiece shiv. Howevery Shiv apparently makes it no longer possible to reapply Momentum of despair in splash situations
- Singular Focus does no longer proc from caustic spatter. Caustic spatter is the Main part of rouge dps in Splash situations. The caustic spatter used to funnel the splashed damage back to the maked target via Singular focus. This does not work anymore and will reduce assassination dps in Splash significantly.
Please fix those bugs. Rouges have been used to small changes that basically meant get or loose some overall dps. But I think just waiting it out and not fixing those underlying problems really hurt the game. At the moment I only play assasination and only intend to for the near future. Please repair those bugs. I and we are paying customers and I think we should be expecting Blizzard to fix those mistakes and not just wait for „Modnight“ to do whatever overhaul.
Please let us know when you adress those errors.
The video of Whispyr can be found on youtube. I apparently cannot link it here
