The Hidden Forest

Anyone want to do a rogue parse?

Top end damage didn't rise significantly, however, im really looking forward to these new focuses.

I spoke with a t3ish rogue who said that they were poor dps before but now they do decent damage.


Good job, Devs.


Edit:

The Assassination changes have increased the dps on High AC mobs. I'm not sure how the damage was before on a t8 dummy but I just parsed 45.6k on him with sune, self, bard and Sham buffs. Im realizing how much I need my enchanter!


The T1 dummy parsed at 80k

No burn disciplines were used - just Power of Fear ring.

I'll parse again when I get home from work tonight - Initial parsing (3minutes) on the test server while these were being reviewed resulted in the following:

T1 - 37,344 DPS
T3 - 24,263 DPS
T6 - 21,015 DPS
T8 - 19,080 DPS

This was self buffed only, no sune buffs or anything fancy except for donor 1.0 and donor leg clickies.

Rogue - Grumblethorpe

I play a rogue as my main, and I single box with just a pally bot, I would say I am geared T2\3. These changes are huge for me, I actually have to manage agro again! And I do have to say, seeing the message that I assassinated Cazic Thule last night was pretty cool.

Rogues really are the best class ever, regardless of how well they deeps/tank. I just thought you all should know that.


On a side note, If you want a specific parse please let me know and i'll run it for you.

good to hear. I'm sure this is a very welcome update for those pre T8 were it is much harder to hit for 33k+

The patch update speaks of quad backstabs, is this in game as a focus effect or an aa or something else available in a tier I haven't seen yet that I can look forward to, just planning for the future? After looking at Deadspirits sig I realized I was the rogue he talked to last night hehe.

Quad backstab is an effect that was made for future content. Right now the only item with it is the rogue donor BP which hasn't been released yet.

Agree..

Now we need some content with doors that need the locks picked to enter.

Alright! Thank you devs for looking at us Rogues and making some positive changes.

I'm a little frightened though, right now my donor'd-up Pally tank has a hard time maintaining aggro from my Rogue. Not uncommon before this change to see a 300k backstab without significant debuffs on the target. I don't expect to see much change high-end though.

Eagerly awaiting the melee BPs!

Also, to the devs, what's the plan with ensuring other classes keep up with us? I know monks, rangers, and beasts haven't gotten any love for a while. Rare to see them around nowadays.
