can we all agree Wrath of the Lich King was probably the Highlight for assassination Rogue ? we’re talking about a simple three-button rotation .compared to the modern-day single-target dragonflight rotation of the seven buttons multiple cooldowns multiple bleeds. have any of you bothered to look at the AOE rotation .okay I get it blizzard you don’t know how to make us competitive without us putting bleeds and poisons on 10 different targets . you can’t figure it out just baked some cleave into mutilate or something I am tired of how complex Rogues have become to play and I’m tired of all the keybinds . you haven’t figured it out yet wrath was as big as this company has ever been after Wrath of the Lich King each expansion became more and more complicated and the number of scriptions you’ve had his dropped each expansion accordingly do you think that maybe there’s a cause-and-effect there ?
The 3 button WotLK rotation is a total snore fest IMO. Or if you wanna get real complex throw out Tricks on cooldown so somebody else can do more damage.
I love modern Sin much more, I like the complexity that provides a much higher skill ceiling working with timers and cooldowns to squeeze out more damage since it’s typically balanced around less optimal performance. My only real complaint is having two charges of Shiv, I’d prefer to just have that talent increase its duration since at least with Kingsbane you usually save both charges for it anyway.
Id rather have Shiv be removed entirely. 3 talents in the Sin tree surrounding that ability and none of them make the button feel good to press. Its a watered down Symbols of Death. Has no place on the spec.
And yeah timing those overlapping bleeds is what makes Sin so good to play. Amplifying Poison adds to that as now you wanna time your envenoms in a way that you never have max stacks. Feels a lot better than the way Improved Shiv changes gameplay.
No. The reason people have stopped playing WoW is because MMOs as a genre are done being a fad. MMOs used to be a very big way of meeting people online, but with the onset of reddit and further Discord people just don’t need MMOs for that connection any more. They also are a fairly time-consuming genre. You can’t (generally) just pop on for 2 hours a day and be “competitive” but you 100% can play LoL or Fortnite or CoD for 2 hours a day and win/be competitive in your skill bracket.
That being said, Wrath Assassination was the bottom of the barrel for design. If you want a similar, simple spec play MM or BM or Frost Mage. The current iteration in Dragonflight may be a bit overkill but that is something that can be iterated on. What matters is the core rotation of the spec and Assassination has felt a lot better since Legion than it did pre-Legion.
I don’t think pressing Tab Rupture is that complicated.
I loved it it became about playing with your energy bar more than anything else and it was never boring especially if you’re playing at properly
i thought this was going to be a funny video
Disagree. DF sin rogue is the best it’s ever been.
Both Wrath Rogue and Modern Rogue can be Mod macro’d to the mousewheel making the single target rotation still the same.
yes, pressing mutilate and envenom, occasionally hunger for blood is very fun
Legion with phat phat poison bombs was the best
PLz share you macros and key binds … I’m willing to learn teach me
