Rogue dots like Saber Slash and Deadly poison are not separating into individual stacks for each rogue when there are multiple rogues attacking the same target, rogue damage is sharply cut and making it so rogues cannot use Envenom (both rogues cannot even cast it). Making 3/4 of a rogues core dps runes completely broken in a group setting. We need a fix for this quickly.
Also, as a side note, Saber Slash does not properly consume remorseless attacks, even though Saber Slash should benefit from all Talents that benefit Sinister Strike.

Went to make this exact post before seeing yours. Apparently it’s not a bug, as these debuffs have multiple stacks. This is so frustrating, I resubbed to play a rogue with the awesome new changes and the “play what you want” mentality that blizzard seemed to be pushing. The reality is that only one rogue in the raid can play what they want, and the others have to just make do with something else. It does not make one want to renew their subscription.
I don’t think its possible for this to be the intended behavior, Envenom cannot be cast even though the conditions for it are met, and the idea that we have to share dots flies in the face of the whole reason they removed the debuff limit.
Its the usual case of Rogues getting the shaft. They give us broken runes and 3 useless ones for a “tanking” role that will never be workable unless we become so broken as to be absolutely unhittable. Which will never happen. Dodge tanking is a stupid idea, it was stupid with brew masters and its still stupid now. Not only are the dot stacks broken but Deadly Brew giving Instant poison when no poison is applied, presumably to make up for envenom eating through our poison charges, is noticeably broken as well. You can tell that its proc rate is not as high as actually having Instant poison on. Additionally it doesn’t hit nearly as hard as with instant poison applied, clearly its not scaling with attack power the way the actual poison does.
Curious if this has been addressed or not? I just picked this rune up (I’m actually lvl24, not 13), running Stinging Viper main hand and Metorite Shard off, Envenom, Saber Slash and Quick Draw for runes, I can see the Saber Slash DOT and a poison, I just have no idea if it’s the one from Envenom or main hand weap, do they even stack? Checking online now and can’t find anything on this. Thanks for any help.
