Some background information that might help. I'm running 22 sin/27 BD/17 NB. Our tank is using a high-mitigation spec to reduce damage inc (but I still pull aggro on fights he uses a high-threat spec).
I am using Fiery Spike in my rotation and I've been told it's bugged and generates more threat than it should? Any confirmation on that?
I've searched the forums for a bit and the only threat issue threads I can find (from way back) are the ones from rogue tanks.
As a dps rogue I get aggro quite often. I've come to the conclusion that this is NOT the tank's fault. I've had this issue with different tanks, all of whom are quite competent and never have issues with warriors pulling same dps as me.
Now, this is quite of a big deal to me. I'm forced to either spec sab for incriminate or ranger so some of my threat is caused by pet and not me. I can't go any melee build (don't bother suggesting melee sab builds) unless I want to deliberatey perform bad by holding back dps etc to not get aggro.
Keep in mind that I DO hold back 5 secs on pull to give tank some time to get aggro.
I'm pulling a 1.5k consistant dps on plutonus with 1.6k spikes on cooldowns (if I haven't already aggro'd by that point). My biggest issue is that our guild is planning on using Spotter's order on Plutonus from now on and that is going to make it impossible for me to survive till the end if I use this spec.
What I'm looking for here is:
- A rogue who has had same issue as me and found a way around it.
What I'm not looking for is:
- An Einstein telling me to respec sab for Incriminate
- An Einstein telling me to reduce my dps
- Trolls trolling my about my dps (whether it being too high and require a screenshot of ACT, or too low and want to brag they have higher dps than me. Regardless, **** off. This thread is not about dps. It's about threat.)
Thnx in advance.
