Nerf shadowstrike a little bit and buff eviscerate. 5 combo point eviscerate does less damage than shadowstrike which is really dumb and not how rogue should play. In MoP, Eviscerate was the highest damage ability for rogue as it should be. This will also help balance the class out a bit because you can’t spam eviscerate but you can spam shadowstrike in shadowdance.
Talking about in PvP specifically, not in PvE content.
This isn’t mop.
I won’t lie, take more damage out of generators and put them back into Eviscerate wasn’t a position I was expecting to see in 2021.
Really!?!? Well maybe if they want the PVP to thrive again they should try to make it like it was at its best.
“at its best” can be somewhat subjective. Most people seem to be particularly fond of the Cata days, and in Cata a significantly greater percentage of our damage was in backstab/Ambush.
Hey man, all I’m saying is eviscerate hits like a wet noodle and it shouldn’t
But but but
Don’t you guys like archaic vanilla wow oversights!?
That would be Cata.
It shouldn’t be. Are you sure? Even with Shadow Blades active, it shouldn’t be. You are including Eviscerate’s 50% shadow damage, right? (The 50% shadow damage is separate in my damage meter. Might be in yours, as well.)

Yes
As Outlaw in PvE just trying to get to 60, I feel Eviscerate is a waste of CP.
By the time I get 5 CP, a single enemy is probably about 60%. Without a critical hit, Eviscerate won’t even kill it, and even if I do crit, sometimes the enemy is still alive. I miss the days when Eviscerate was this big thing, that you built up to, and dumped your CP into for big damage.
Nowadays, at least for Outlaw, we’re basically Feral Druids now, where we are expected to use most of our CP on buffs and debuffs rather than tearing our enemies apart. When it is finally time to Evisc something, you do this big dramatic SHLING! attack and… their HP meter barely moves. It feels like such a letdown.
Outlaw is supposed to be a swashbuckling fighter who uses swords, maces, and axes in melee combat, but yet killing anything as an Outlaw feels like I’m using daggers, you have to hit something dozens of times before it finally dies because apparently we hit like wet noodles or something. I feel like I’m swinging pool noodles around or something rather than a pair of swords.
Our finishers for all of our specs feel garbage, at least sub’s hit harder then the other two. We’ll only be getting % buff/nerf from now until the patch where hopefully they take a look at damage profiles and make changes there.
Like more poison/bleed damage, less AA on assassination, more finisher damage on sub etc.
evis does more dmg if u have find the weakness applied
Tis a shame they don’t have an ATR that’s in a permanent state of 5.4 on a REAL 5.4 server and not the modern laggy turd that they use now.
wait a second your getting 8k shadowstrikes? Im rather confused here
Wait, we want finishers to be more impactful? A shame blizzard just buffed passive damage like poisons and slice and dice autoattack, huh.
I like how hard-hitting finishers is like, sub’s thing, and they’re still weak as heck.
my shadowstrike crit for more damage than my base hit 3pt unmodified eviscerate.
i gotta make a post about this nonsense
They really need a dislike button.
I was gonna say the same thing, my evis hits hard af, when, of course, find weakness is up.
