Makes my assass rogue feel like destro lock. All your dmg is tied to a cd more than ever.
Feels good during burst but then dps drops.
What build are you guys running/traits for pure ST?
Exsang vs TB and shrouded vs double dose / nothing personal?
Talk to me people!
Currently my Raiding goal is for 3x DD, 2x NP, 1xShroud for Single Target. Shroud is great for the 2 extra CPs when opening, which is why I only want one. Jury is still out if 3xNP will perform better than 2xNP, 1xShroud. I will test it if I ever find another NP piece. It doesn’t really shine in single target situations though. You’ll get more DPS out of NP.
I’m also trying to compile a second set of Azerite gear for M+. With a goal in mind of 3xEB, 3xShroud. Keep in mind for the EB set, Crit ends up out-weighing Haste so I’ll probably need to get an entire set of armor that is Crit heavy.
Edit for spelling derp.
Also, 3xDD will make you feel like God with those, ever so often, back to back 25k Mutilate crits.
My current raid set is NPx3 DDx2 SSx1
As you said, 3xNP ties alot of you dps to a 2 minute CD. I’m trying some other things for PvP. Currently using 3x Twist the Knife and 3x SS. I might mix in some Double Dose if I can get the right gear.
I too dislike having to use NP and forcing more into the vendetta window. Unexpected mechanics or random mechanics issues during that window really hurt.
If there’s better alternatives I’d love to see them.
This is my rogue. Im running 2 x NP, 3 x DD and 1 x shroud. The burst is insane. 1 more NP and changing from subterfuge to master assassin would make it strictly ST.
NP ticks with only 2 traits can crit for 16k!
