As much as I grimace at the thought of replying to you after you triple-posted different replies…
Taking the top-end bracket (445+ ilvl) Assassination’s sitting between 103k, and 115k - averaging at 111k. I’m going to say 120k, because it’s easier to math and it helps your argument… Comparatively, you have classes pushing 200k dps single target without PI.
5% to 120k is 6,000 - putting Assass at 126k~ aDPS.
Increasing 120,000 by 45% is 54,000 - or 174,000 dps.
That would place Assassination at 11th over-all dps for aDPS, and 2nd over-all in game for APM. This is taking the top 0.1% of Assassination, and gauging it against any ilvl, of any class, on any fight.
Even taking raidbot, and cramming full bis Assassin with 100% uptime 100% perfect rotation bis-maxed gear, and on a patchwerk fight where it excels… you’re still 60k dps shy of first place - and first place is 210k.
So again… please tell me how 5% will put them in a “very good spot for raiding” - taking 100% of all button-bloat, convoluted rotations, ignorant decision making, etc - out of the equation.
rotational difficulty means nothing, all specs are easy to play and master. we can have unholy, hdh, eleshammy, restro druid, and brew be “meta” and some goober will say “why is it always the easiest specs always meta?”
