Why are all assassin rogue conquest weapons unusable?

Community General Discussion

I’m assuming since we can no longer purchase our gear with conquest points, that the gear AWARDED BY BLIZZARD should be at least usable for the loot spec selected.

As an assassin rogue i need TWO weapons. we all get a 345 to start, which is all some classes need… then after grinding out 10 levels of conquest we get another… a 370.

For an assassin rogue… they’re BOTH AXES.

For those that don’t know, yes… a rogue can use an axe but our abilities require DAGGERS. therefore, if we use the awarded weapons… we cannot use our abilities. BRILLIANT!

It doesn’t stop there. On loot drops guess what? You got it… we receive maces and swords… equally as worthless. What’s next? Polearms?!

WTH blizz?? If the loot specialization is going to be used, how about restricting it to gear that is USABLE by the class (without losing all our abilities)

Polearms arent on the list for Rogues so wont get Polearms…
But will probably get Fist Weapons!
LOL

Ya i hear u…my rogue is still rocking a 325 dagger cause the daggers arent dropping for me.
Only got a 340 dagger from a world quest.

The conquest reward listed on the UI is only an example and once you fill the bar and go turn in the quest you’ll be able to choose from a list. As a Rogue one of the options should be a dagger.

Really wish they would have an in game prompt about this so we wouldn’t get 12 threads a day about it.

What are you talking about? There’s no option to change the selection. When you fill the bar and go to the guy, you’re handed the weapon. No options. No delays.

Unless I missed something somewhere.

Anyone else able to confirm this?

No you get to pick from all the different weapons available to you after you do the turn in.

7

Where do you get to make this selection? What part of the UI exactly?

8

When you turn it in. You get an option to pick just like you do for normal quests.

9

I really didn’t. there was just an complete option. there was no list of gear selections

They really botched rogues. I like assasination play style better but refuse to play it since you cant use swords so outlaw only for me.

11

Im outlaw spec and all I get is daggers. I think its just blizzes way of saying go ___ youself.

WTF?!

You know holinka’s back when…

13

Its that way with all my toons. I get off spec gear for whatever class Im playing. Also who is holinka?

14

It’s more like, What is holinka?

The rng makes it more fun and rewarding then simply buying daggers I’m told.

16

I’ll accept the RNG on boss drops. But they removed our ability to shop for pvp gear. The LEAST they could do is make the forced selection usable by the class-spec

17

Your problem is you want to much. Just try to see it as a green or blue poster would. The rogue who got double daggers and is now crushing you feels extremely rewarded by the systems rng.

18

Blizzard would hate for you to purchase the wrong item, therefore we let RNG decide as RNG would never give you something you don’t need or can’t use

I’m already satisfied with that!
I gave up hope to see a reason for something like this to happen!
Bad luck, fate or whatever the cause!
There must be an explanation and maybe one day we will receive it!
