How to fix overly complicated assassination rogues rotation and button bloat

The problem with assassination rogues is an overly complicated rotation with monitoring various dots and huge button bloat.

We can fix assassination by simply making indiscriminate carnage (a talent that spreads garrotte and rupture to multiple targets when used from stealth) by simply dropping the stealth requirement.

Or

We can alter venomous wound talent (regain 8 Energy each time your Garrote or Rupture deal Bleed damage to a poisoned target) by simply adding crimson tempest.

This would make AoE in mythic more reasonable.

As far as button bloat, remove thistle tea and remove death mark. Give a passive talent like the dream eater dagger in sod that refunds your energy every time to use a finishing move or a talent that reduces the energy required for finishing moves. Something effective and passive.

Kingsbane is fine and Shiv affecting kingsbane is fine and good play

The numbers don’t matter. They can be adjusted to balance so anyone claiming this is overpowered it’s not. This is merely a game play improvement to make the class more enjoyable

Im not sure this is the play, besides if a pack survives long enough to require reapplying THAT many bleeds again, then something else is the problem.

The problem with this, is that Sin’s energy in AOE isnt really an issue, the problem is with ST.

In AOE they can actually shine quite well, but the real struggle is having energy when dealing with one or two targets.

And yeah Thistle Tea is whats currently crippling this spec.

Just give me:

  1. Relentless Strikes
  2. All shiv effects applied to Ambush (Arterial Precision, etc) so I can remove it from my bar.

Let me keep:

  1. Scary Ambush hits
  2. Garrote with silence
  3. Sanguine blades

I’ll be happy.

Relentless Strikes is that important.

Outlaw plays like a rejected version of Sub right now without the proper energy. Assassination is like watching paint dry with an old white lady that can’t decide what shade of cool white she wants from the color booklet.
