I will actually be shocked if it’s something they just decide to let go. Figure they’ll get something hammered out for this, and leave rogues with the rest of their current bugs.
If they actually ignore it, I’m just going to throw in the towel. There’s so many fires, and it feels they’re not even trying to put them out.
They want Rogue to be squishy in PVE. That’s fine with me as long as I’m number 1 on all charts.
We have too many DPS classes now who can either heal themselves, sustain like crazy or bring infinite utility to a 5 man. That’s cool and all, just make Rogues do damage.
The ele and rogue thing are different beasts though. Ele is just a once sustained dps spec got reworked and now ascendance is in competition with army for the biggest cd in the game, but also has pure aoe value too in a season with the actual strongest on use trinket ever vs one cool trick to kill a critter and break the game and your damage.
Ele is just ridiculously tuned atm in a way thats hard to quantify because ascendance is a THREE MINUTE cd that hits like one in a season of generally small cds. tbh ele hitting 10-15 mil on a 10 target pull makes sense in the context of hero+bpot+40 stack spymaster+every cd+630 ilvl because it can only happen in a ten minute window. The viral video everyone posts is like balancing based off the mdi. The issue is its still tuned to do solid sustained damage because thats what it did before tuesday and it now has the biggest 3 minute cd in the game and one of those things will have to be looked at because it is overtuned atm, but not because it bursts bigger than frost dk which has shorter cds.
Also ele having the biggest cd makes aug better which compounds the issue in a fun way that only aug can when it makes a god comp out of every time a class has massive burst profile.
I mean ele and outlaw are different, it doesn’t make ele ok.
There are videos and videos and videos of Bond/Petko/several other eles doing 3.5-4mil overall across entire keys, and I think we can all agree unless they missed the mark on EVERY OTHER SPEC that’s at least 30-35% higher than intended.
Both need to be fixed, only the outlaw 1s need to be rolled back.
Honestly looking at io ele isn’t even dominating the highest keys like I thought it would. Aside from the obvious outlaw rogue stacks you are seeing ele shaman, enh shaman, assassin rogue, frost dk, ret paladin, frost mage, arcane mage, balance druid, one destro lock on the first page, and wouldn’t you know an aug voker in basically every key.
People get so up in arms about pulling down classes that they perceive to be ahead of them.
Aug is honestly garbage. They can keep the tank alive because Blizzard refuses to give any other healer anything new. Wow, I guess I should be bending over kissing my own buttocks because of this?
