It was genuinely one of the most satisfying buttons to press, thanks to its wide AOE (7 targets) and it’s 30% buff to bleed damage.
Perhaps it will come back in some capacity through a set bonus or somthing.
The design of assa is kinda garbage in midnight. Spamming envenom can’t even be called a class design honestly, I hate it. It’s tunned so it doesn’t even do any damage by itself, so you’re just trying to stack some nonsense modifiers, that turn it from a bad ability into mediocre one.
I agree Shiv was satysfying but Its kinda good they just remove it. You just have to Shiv-Kingsbane-Track Shiv-Shiv again at the end of kingsbane. Also I really hate Thistle Tea requirement. Ofc there are more annoyances like Fatebound = useless, Deathmark - annoying application.
Assa on Beta is most beginner friendly spec. Look at number of rogues.
Sub, Outlaw is weird still looks like blizz just don’t know what they should do.
