sweet rogue updates!

Anyone want to do a rogue parse?

[Deadspirit]

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.

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.

[Deadspirit]

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.

[Stickybuds]

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.

[Vaion]

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.

[Nizzy]

Rogues really are the best class ever, .

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.
