Am I being thick but with bleeds increasing our main combo point builder by up to 30% for SSL and backstab this basically favours SSL?
How is backstab meant to keep 3 bleeds up? Rupture and crimson tempest fine but the third would be what, garrote? An ability only useable in stealth, costs loads of energy and only lasts 18 seconds? Like how is this beneficial for backstab rogues?
Its not, time to shift from backstab in p8
Then why create a 6 set around it and the kingsfall /queensfall items.
Better alternative would be to include an additional bleed on kingsfall/queensfall combo so that backstab is at least playable.
Also not sure with the available tier combos, due to a lack of oversight on blizz’s side with no ring tier 3.5, that backstab will be viable. It’s a spec heavily dependent on bwl 2/4 set bonus and now a 6 set bonus and 2 set of tier 3…
@Blizzard please look at this again as it won’t work.
You know you can just put Occult Poison on one of your weapon and draw full benefit from the set bonus?
Wait who plays backstab?
Edit: I might be misunderstanding something here. Backstab is basically a dead build imho. Just dont force it.
This ^ if you really wanna play a meme spec. If its tuned correctly, it wouldnt make much of a difference but would gain dps because of the 10% extra damage you deal.
They updated the set bonus to include this only a few days ago. Maybe they listened to my post who knows.
