Hello? Wtf blizzard?
Sin rogue aoe is one of the worst in the game, you have to fully spec into aoe in order to do even remotely good aoe damage, which costs you a ton of st damage.
Make all finishers proc poison bomb, so assassination aoe can be relatively good even with the st build.
You know, like MOST SPECS IN THE GAME. There are only a few specs where you have to sacrifice so much st damage for aoe, assassination is one of them.
Wake up already.
Bro blizz never do that… he can just buff outlaw no assa. assa rn worst spec in the game.
Assassination is unironically bad in aoe.
Indiscriminate carnage is also poor’s man primal wrath.
Crimson tempest is bad damage, because they don’t want it used in st, poison bomb, only procs from envenom, indiscriminate carnage is a cd, and also, you have to sacrifice a significant portion of your already average st damage.
Assassination is straight up badly tuned.
of course, the whole structure is wrong. no one uses carnage for pvp. my envenom has the highest dmg, which averages 30-40k. blue combo poiont al max 55. the damage of poisons is about 10k (rupture/carrote) which a healing totem can heal, multi late dmg is also not enough. dmg em is usually 2 bars and that’s it. 2m rupture dmg 2m carrot dmg and 400k envenom dmg. which I used 12x. the structure of the whole thing is bad. and they say they don’t understand rogue, but outlaw better rn then assa…
While you are correct in Sin being poorly designed, your solution to the problem is honestly really bad. Making Poison Bomb into an Active Ability, instead of Passive Proc would help a lot. It would have to be baseline though, but why not, as it is very thematically fitting. The real answer, though, is that the Spec, and Class as a whole, requires significant rework and updating to modern design standards, instead of the directionless random grab bag we’ve had for the last couple of expansions. Rogues need a Redesign to address this issue, and many others. Your suggestion wouldn’t really help.
Yea, that’s a good point, relying only on a proc in order to do good aoe, is risky.
Procs should help you have those wow moments, where everything works well and you have a lot of procs, therefore you do insane damage, more than what you would normally expect, but it shouldn’t be what makes you do aoe comparable to other specs.
Although i personally think that only assassination needs a redesign. Outlaw and sub just need a few changes here and there, but the core gameplay is good.
Assassination is nice in st, but aoe is significantly problematic.
I would personally prefer a way to extend the initially dots applied by IC (especially as some one not using PB).
My last brakenhide run
CT did most damage @62M
Garrote 2nd @52M
Rupture 3d @42M
This with AP + IC without thistle tea as I prefer permanent 10% more crit damage to garrote and shiv.
Edit. Garotte is usually top but all depends on how groups are pulled.
