Assa 4p not worth it after Tuesday? (PVP)

Come Tuesday Assa 2p gets nerfed to 5 stacks, not sure why, pretty bad change imo.

  • Nerub-ar 2-piece set bonus - Vile Tincture max stacks reduced to 5 (was 10).

Since its already 50% nerfed, currently we get 10 stacks giving us 15% increased rupture/envenom/CT damage
4p would give us insta 10 stacks + 50% added bonus (i dont have 4p yet so idk if the +50% is really +25% in pvp) but 4p proc would give us 18.75-22.5% increased rupture/envenom/CT damage based on if we get 25 or 50% bonus

after nerf, 2p at 5 stacks will give 7.5% increased rupture/envenom/CT damage
and 4p would give insta 5 stacks +25-50% added bonus, so 9.375-11.25% increased rupture/envenom/CT damage.

2p may be worth it, but i dont really think 4p is worth it with the amount of verse/mastery loss.

Nah, what is crazy is that the new assassination set bonus is so bad that they had to nerf the old set 2 piece. Gaining ~30 item levels in 2 slots and using 4 piece was a 1% DPS loss over using ilvl 639 gear 2 piece.

They should have just buffed the current set to make it better, but instead nerfed the old one.

Kind of like how the bully hangs out with weaker kids to make them feel stronger.
