That fight is a riot. I just spanked the guild on meters. I really hope the 12.1 changes work out well for energy regen and we are still the best sleeper class and spec in the game.
Pulled 155k on Rotmire tonight and just figured folks considering rogue as a class ought to know it really pumps.
Assassination has been flying under the radar throughout Midnight. Meanwhile Frost and Unholy DKs are taking the brunt of the nerfs the last few months.
On the PTR they dialed Sub back but tuning is ongoing. I would not be surprised with another round of tuning once live that Rogues are given gradual buffs dialed up again week to week early in the season 2 like season 1. There is more player data of the Rogue population than the PTR.

Assassination is bottom of the barrel on Rotmire. 155k is not high btw. (the top 100 parses across all specs are all over 230k dps)
Yes I tested the changes on the PTR for Assassination and it flows better with the reworked energy and Thistle Tea choice node.
Good things are to come for Assassination for patch 12.1 and thank you for your contributions.
It is high enough for killing the boss even when I am highest dps in the raid though so really everything else is just way overturned then.
The point is that Assassination is nothing special on that fight and that if your guild was playing better, you’d be low on the meters. I don’t want people getting the impression that Assassination is tuned well right now because it just isn’t.
I wouldn’t want anyone to get the impression that they can’t complete content as the bottom of the barrel, either.
i mean your ignoring the point tho
you can finish any content with playing the one button feature they have. that doesnt mean its good
you’re ignoring the point which is that it is actually good
but its not “good”

is okay to say a spec needs help, and its okay to say that a spec isnt as bad as people make it to be. sin is okay enough to finish content but its not okay among its peers.
If you’re making a list, yes, one will always be at the bottom. The difference between the top and the bottom isn’t enough where the typical player should feel the need to pick the flavor of the month over the preferred class and spec. It is capable of doing the required amounts for the content.
yes i understand that and i agree. but its not healthy to ignore the issue at hand either.
you cant stop fotm, tanking being a good example before bear was buffed, all the tanks were somewhat balanced between a single key level. but people still thought you needed to play brew for that single digit % increase.
what may not be healthy is obsessing over percentages when the game can be completed by any talent and spec combination.
i feel like your purposefully missing my point
im glad you topped the charts of your guilde. im just stating facts
I don’t think anyone here is saying you can’t clear the content as assassination, just that if other people in your guild played their respective specs at an equal skill level the meters would look drastically different
I think that is understood and sort of the entire premise of making the post.
idk, claiming to be “the best sleeper class and spec in the game” when your rationale behind it is beating other players who did not perform very well is a bit skewed. additionally, with an 8 minute kill time that’s a lot of time spent in execute which will make assassination’s damage look better
Sure yes go on do tell. All very interesting. The post was for anyone lurking and interested to know that assassin played by even an average player like me is more than good enough to clear some of the highest content with a bunch of players with varying skill levels.
i guess the point is the game is a lot easier than folks make it out to be and because some of them have decided to compete on raw meters now that is the meta but I believe many of us are content to play the game and kill things. if that is you, ignore all the tier lists and complaining.
no it isn’t. I showed you it isn’t. it’s lower quartile in all the rest of the raids too.
also there is no such thing as a sleeper spec. all the data is available for everyone to see how specs perform. the truth is that everyone in your raid played avg or poorly aside from you and the feral who played above average.
Whay you showed me is that Assassination’s maximum potential (93.58) is virtually identical to Marksmanship (94.16) and Augmentation (93.56), and sits right on the heels of Ret Paladin (99.20).
I can’t help if you’re reading the statistics wrong champ.
You got DK, War, Mage, and DH as outliers and pretty much everything else within pretty tight tuning.
